Former San Diego Chargers safety Paul Justin Oliver, 29, died Tuesday in Cobb County.
Oliver was born in Kennesaw and played at Georgia from 2004 to 2006 as a cornerback.
The Chargers released the following statement:
"Everyone in the Chargers family is sad today after hearing the news about Paul. He was part of our family for five years. At just 29 years old, he still had a lifetime in front of him. Right now all of our thoughts and prayers are with his family during this most difficult time.
"Oliver was drafted out of Georgia in the fourth-round of the 2007 Supplemental Draft. He didn't appear in a game until 2008, and over parts of four seasons with the Bolts, he recorded 144 tackles, four interceptions, 11 passes defensed, two forced fumbles and one sack. His best season came in 2010 when he made eight starts and recorded 62 tackles, an interception, a forced fumble and broke up three passes."
Cobb County police said Oliver died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Comcast Executive Vice President David L. Cohen recently announced that the company is indefinitely extending Internet Essentials, its nationwide program that provides qualifying low-income families with broadband Internet service for just $9.95 per month. By extending Internet Essentials beyond its initial three-year commitment, Comcast is advancing President Obama's ConnectEd goal of linking 99 percent of U.S. students to Internet service in the classroom within five years.
Internet Essentials launched in 2011 and, since then, has provided Internet access for more than 1.2 million low-income Americans, or 300,000 families. That includes more than 24,400 low-income Marylanders – or more than 6,100 families from across the state.
"Here at Comcast, addressing the digital divide head-on has long been a priority for our company," continued Cohen. "We believe the Internet has the power to transform lives, strengthen communities, and inspire a new generation of leaders."
During a national teleconference on Tuesday, March 4th, Comcast also shared details of a recent study of Internet Essentials users conducted by Dr. John B. Horrigan, head of research for the F.C.C.'s National Broadband Plan and a former research director with Pew Research Center's Internet and American Life project. Dr. Horrigan's findings underscore the fundamental importance of home Internet access. His data show that:
- 98% of families said they signed up for Internet Essentials because their kids needed it for school;
- 83% said their child's school expected that students have online access at home;
- 62% said they needed Internet service to look for or apply for jobs.
In addition to affordable home broadband service, Internet Essentials, the nation's largest and most comprehensive broadband adoption program also offers eligible families the option to purchase an Internet-ready computer for under $150, as well as multiple options to access free digital literacy training in print, online and in-person.For more information on Internet Essentials, including eligibility requirements, or to apply for the program, visit www.InternetEssentials.com or call 1-855-846-8376.

"It is such a high honor to be recognized by the USGBC and to become LEED-certified," says David Baum, co-developer of the building and president of Baum Development. "We are creating a collaboration - a platform that allows individuals and businesses to 'exchange their green ideas' and learn from one another in a positive way."

In December of 1941, Mississippi was in the midst of an economic crisis. The state's agriculture-based economy had been hit hard by the Great Depression and there was no end in sight to the distress. But the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor turned Mississippians' attention from economic duress and awakened their sense of duty.
The events of December 7, 1941, not only ignited Mississippi's patriotism but also spurred the state to economic rebirth. Mississippi sent thousands of soldiers to battle during World War II, but many who did not go off to fight stayed home to work in new factories created to support the war effort. Military installations, munitions plants, and even Prisoner of War camps were built in Mississippi to help sustain the growth of the military, supply the armed forces, and house war prisoners. Construction, operation, and maintenance of these facilities created thousands of jobs.
The lives of Mississippians changed dramatically because of World War II, whether they went to fight in faraway places or stayed in Mississippi to support the war from home. Join Mississippi Public Broadcasting on December 7, 2009, to learn about the contributions that Mississippians made to World War II, both on the home front and the battlefront.

CNHI News Service
A bill to require more uniform reporting of financial information by special taxing districts sailed through the House 96-1.
House Bill 1 was sponsored by Speaker Greg Stumbo, D-Prestonsburg, after a review of the 1,260 or so special districts by state Auditor Adam Edelen indicated many do not comply with administrative and financial reporting systems.
Edelen began his review in the wake of several publicized reports of widespread abuse and questionable spending at some larger taxing districts such as the Lexington Airport and Louisville Metropolitan Sewer District, both of which were investigated by Edelen's predecessor Crit Luallen.
Edelen's review indicated the 1,260 or so districts spent a total of about $2.7 billion — although most of that is accounted for by larger districts.
The bill will require taxing districts to file reports with a central registry housed in the Department of Local Government and submit annual financial reports and audits.
The legislation provides for annual fees to be paid by the taxing districts — $500 for the largest, $25 for the smallest — to pay for the registry and the tracking of information. It also allows Edelen to audit any taxing district found to be out of compliance by DLG.
That, Edelen said this week, puts "teeth in the law to compel compliance."
Governing boards of such districts (libraries, conservation districts, water and sewer districts, some health districts) will be required to follow the local county's code of ethics. An online database will allow taxpayers to see the districts' financial reports and compliance status.
When Edelen released his report in November, he described a "ghost government" system over which there was not public accountability and he detailed numerous abuses by various districts.
But when Stumbo took to the floor Friday to urge passage of the bill, he said it "is not a bill in response to bad conduct," but one which is "really a tribute to the honesty and dedication of all those . . . who have done their jobs efficiently and in a trustworthy manner."
Stumbo said the legislation will "simplify, streamline and clarify reporting requirements while at the same time giving every Kentucky taxpayer the power to track the use of their tax dollars."
Nearly everyone on the House floor Friday agreed – nearly.
Freshman Lynn Bechler, R-Marion, said he voted no because of the fees and reporting requirements may burden some of the smaller districts and he fears the bill will add additional costs to taxpayers to monitor the districts.
He said an analysis by the Legislative Research Commission "talks about the possibility of additional costs" to the state.
"I'm just not comfortable with that," Bechler said.
The bill now goes to the state Senate.

The word "luck" is probably overused in baseball analysis. Allow a lot of hits on balls put in play? Bad luck. Get a lot of hits when you make contact? Good luck. You're lucky when you win too many one-run games and unlucky when you have a losing record despite outscoring your opponents. All of those ideas have a lot of merit, of course, but continually referring to them can unintentionally make baseball seem like a game of keno.
Injuries are tricky things to place on the luck spectrum, too. For example, is it bad luck that Carlos Beltran missed time with knee problems this year? No, that has more to do with the angry snapping turtles that live in Beltran's knees. It isn't bad luck. Most injuries aren't bad luck, but "bad luck" is often used as a synonym for "unexpected."
So the headline of this piece is something of a red herring. But it wouldn't make sense to call it "Which Team Has Been Hosed The Most By Injuries This Year?" because I'm not looking to just tally up the injuries. I'm looking for the most unexpected injuries. The Phillies have been ravaged by injuries, but two of the most significant are to a second baseman with chronic knee issues, and a 35-year-old pitcher. That's not bad luck. That's a team getting bit by the risks inherent to those specific players. Same goes with the Cardinals, who've had to deal with injuries to Chris Carpenter and Lance Berkman. Tough losses, but they're older players, and they came with risks.
The contenders:
It's hard to call injuries to young pitchers "unexpected." They're young pitchers -- the praying-mantis babies of the sports world. Out of 1,000, a few will develop as hoped.
But it's still a little wacky for two of the team's best pitchers (Danny Duffy and Felipe Paulino) to need Tommy John surgery, especially right after the team's best trade chip (Joakim Soria) also underwent the procedure. It's probably a stretch to call Paulino a young pitcher -- he's 28 -- but that's still 25 percent of the pitching staff that the Royals were hoping to contend with.
Suddenly it's June, and you wake up to find that your team has used Jeff Suppan, Jason Marquis, and Kip Wells in the rotation. If you just started following the 2012 baseball season, you'd probably assume there was a flesh-eating virus making the rounds. The Padres have fallen on some desperate times.
The Padres have lost an entire rotation to injuries -- Anthony Bass, Joe Wieland, Tim Stauffer, Dustin Moseley, and Cory Luebke. That's … really awful, depressing, and impressive. I mean, if you're going to be supremely unlucky, why go half-assed? They get bonus points for losing Luebke to Tommy John just after signing him to a long-term extension.
Red Sox
For a while there, the outfield was Troy O'Leary in left, Carl Everett in center, and Trot Nixon in right. And I'm not referring to 2001. That was the starting outfield for the Red Sox two weeks ago. Look it up.
If healthy, a Carl Crawford/Jacoby Ellsbury/Cody Ross outfield had a chance to be something good. Crawford was a great bounce-back candidate, and Ellsbury was coming off an MVP-type season. It's hard to call the Crawford injury poor luck, really, but losing Ellsbury after a second baseman sat on him is a rough turn of events.
Also worth mentioning: The Red Sox traded an outfielder for a closer who promptly got injured, and now that outfielder (Josh Reddick) is having a fantastic season. It's hard to chalk up an Andrew Bailey injury to bad luck, but the idea that they swapped out a healthy outfielder in the deal makes it qualify.
It's not exactly bad luck to lose a young pitcher to a shoulder injury, but it sure is when a team a) just acquired him to be a major part of the rotation, and b) used up the super-valuable trade chip that they were hanging onto like the last of the insulin in a bomb shelter. And apart from Michael Pineda, they also lost Brett Gardner (elbow), Joba Chamberlain (trampoline), and Mariano Rivera (astral minders telling him to chill out for a bit and avoid detection) -- none of which were exactly predictable injuries.
This is a decent choice, as they have their best hitter (Evan Longoria) on the shelf with the first hamstring injury of his career, a young pitcher on the DL with shoulder fatigue (Jeremy Hellickson), and another pitcher on the DL for a while because of a leg that was fractured on a comebacker (Jeff Niemann). All three players were off to good starts, too. The Rays had the pitching depth to withstand the losses, but that doesn't mean they weren't unlucky.
Blue Jays
Well, you knew this was coming. It's probably hacky to reference Spinal Tap drummers continually, but danged if it doesn't fit. I think one of the Blue Jays starting pitchers is actually on the DL for choking on someone else's vomit, too. Worth looking into.
Like the Royals, the Blue Jays have lost their best young starters to injury. But they didn't just lose Drew Hutchison and Kyle Drabek to torn ligaments -- they also lost Brandon Morrow to an oblique tweak, new closer Sergio Santos to a shoulder problem, and the guys who were supposed to provide depth to the rotation, like Jesse Litsch and Dustin McGowan. Litsch is on the 60-day DL with some sort of freaky infection that could be career threatening. Just awful.
The easy answer is "Blue Jays". But I keep going back to the Padres. Five starting pitchers in a couple of months is hard to top. Maybe you can give the Blue Jays bonus points because they still have designs on contending. It's close, though. There are no winners here.
The only thing I'm sure of, based on the last four contenders up there, is that the only answer we know for sure is "Not the Orioles." They've lost Nick Markakis, Nolan Reimold, and Tsuyoshi Wada, so they aren't a lucky team, but, cripes, that AL East. The baseball gods have something of an east-coast bias this year. The baseball gods can be complete asses.

Dead in France
Rated: Not Rated
Genre: Action, Comedy
Street Date: March 26, 2013
Available On: DVD
The Film: Charles is a British hitman living Cannes. Having grown tired of his profession he's going to tie up a few loose ends, buy a yacht, find a wife and sail off into the sunset. He thinks he's found the perfect woman in Lisa, a bikini-clad cleaning woman, but she's got a scheme of her own.
The Extras: Deleted Scenes, Gag Reel
Recommendation: Director Kris McManus has crafted a dark comedy that mixes bits of "Sexy Beast" and the madcap antics of the Coen Brother's "Burn After Reading" with some of Guy Ritchie's "RocknRolla" thrown in for good measure. It's shot in black and white so the word "noir" was been thrown around a bit, but there's really nothing noir about the film. It's pretty much an live-action cartoon with stock characters running through a plot comprised entirely of sex, drugs, death and a twisted sense of humor. It's not nearly as clever or as effective as the films it is emulating, but it works well enough for an afternoon viewing.

In The News: Loneliness Is Contagious!
December 16, 2009 at 5:12 pm , by Cherise Bathersfield
It's not just the flu going around this winter. Loneliness is spreading like a virus—minus the bodily fluid—according to a recent study. Apparently one lonely person's isolation from their network of friends has a ripple effect causing the connections between other group members to unravel, infecting them with loneliness.
So, during this holiday season while you're busy setting and confirming travel and dinner plans, don't assume that everyone has some place to go or people to see. Maybe inviting a non-family member to the annual family get-together would add some extra holiday cheer to this year's event. And if you're the one with an empty to-do list, the holidays are a great excuse to email long lost friends. Send them an e-card to let them know that your New Year's resolution is to keep in touch. Write a comment on your friend's newest post on Facebook. Or you could try to meet new friends by volunteering or cultivating a hobby. Websites like Meetup give you access to thousands of groups across the country that host events for practically any activity you can imagine. There really is no reason to be lonely this Christmas!

News fresh off the press regarding the Texans' injuries and who will play this Sunday against the Niners.
When Brian Cushing is wired for sound, you know you're in for a treat. Take a listen at what he had to say before and during the Texans' game last Sunday.
He's back, he's angry, and he's going to take his revenge on Matt Slauson on every single offensive lineman he runs into. Okay, I made that last part up, but I wouldn't be surprised if he did.
He's expecting the full go-ahead from Dr. James Andrews next month, which would mean Cushing should be a full participant in training camp.
The road to recovery begins.
Brian Cushing's knee is "fine." How's that for specificity?
Brian Cushing had an MRI done on his knee. Should Texans fans be concerned?
Looking for quotes about what's happening at Texans' OTAs? Here you go.
In chapter nine, Scott makes a major break in the Nash investigation, and possibly his ribs. He learns about the crime that took place before the murder, and a voice from the past brings possibly...
Chapter Eight of Checkdown begins with Scott confessing what he's been doing in his spare time...sort of. Also, Sheridan confronts Scott; for what exactly, you'll have to read and find out!

Dovercourt: Raiders steal perfumes from Original Factory Outlet
6:00pm Tuesday 11th December 2012 in News By Helen Barnett
RAIDERS ransacked a town centre shop and stole £1,800 of pounds worth of stock.
The Original Factory Outlet store is counting the cost of a burglary in the early hours of yesterday morning, December 10.
Raiders smashed their way into the shop in Kingsway through windows to steal perfumes and aftershaves.
Store manager Matt Newell was alerted to the break-in at around 12.50am by the shop's alarm.
The shop was closed on Monday morning until 10.30am while police and shop staff assessed what was taken.
Anyone with information should call police on 101.

Town Square
Stoneridge Drive improvements OK'd in advance of October opening of roadway's extension to Livermore
Original post made on Mar 5, 2013
Read the full story here Web Link posted Tuesday, March 5, 2013, 7:59 AM

I sure hope they actually act, instead of just more delays.
on Mar 5, 2013 at 10:44 am
I'm hoping that government works as usual on this project, that is more delays, more environmental studies required, etc. A similar pace as the one on Stanley, two years to make almost no improvements.
on Mar 5, 2013 at 12:33 pm
The city council and Zone 7 are both meeting tonite. They should discuss as part of the improvements to this intersection, an offset curb for the Wheels' buses to drive into to load and unload passengers on southbound Santa Rita. As it is now, the buses come to a complete stop in the right hand lane causing traffic to back-up into the intersection. The speed limit is 45mph. A bus coming to a quick stop right after the intersection catches a lot of drivers off guard and unprepared. When turning right from Stroneridge to Santa Rita, the trees block the view of a stopped bus. A driver making a right turn has to contend with a stopped bus appearing in their face unexpectedly. I am sure Zone 7 would donate a small amount of their pumping station property so that this bus stop could be made safe.

First Race Report - New Track Records!
New Track Records Set at Newly Re-Paved Glen Morgan Raceway
Opening weekend at Glen Morgan Speedway just north of Star, ID is now in the books. The Father's Day Classic is complete! The new pavement delivered as promised with growing kart classes and long absent drivers came back to the Snake River Karters (SRK) facility! Names like, Tim Ross, Sting Ray Robb and others made their return to the technical sprint track. The inaugural laps were made on Saturday during practice and track officials held the ribbon cutting ceremonies on Sunday morning.
Long standing track records fell to very fast times in most of the classes as the newly laid pavement held the MG tires to the racing surface like never before. Although the configuration is basically the same, the surface is smoother, faster, and delivers a completely different feel with the new updates. Many drivers recognized the changes to the famous "Hair Pin" corner where karts can use the progressive banking to 'hang it all out' on the outside of their competition. A silky smooth transition onto the straight from a banked, downhill, left hand, 2.8g lateral corner made for passing, the newly named "Foster" sweeper can be viewed as one of the best racing corners in the North West.
SRK produced growth in each of the kart classes from 2013. Very exciting racing on Sunday began with drivers attempting to master the new entry and exit points during practice. One driver found air underneath each of his four tires as he exited the "S" corners and launched onto the unused center of the back stretch infield. Each class provided the line of spectators on the outer fence and grandstands a different perspective. From the small and affordable Kid Karts to the fast and loud Rotax and 125cc Shifter Karts, fans were treated to fantastic racing action!
Eighteen 125 Shifter karts registered for the event. It is very possible to have twenty or more for the next event in July, which is typically the largest event of the season in the 125 Shifter class. The return of the 1/8 mile oval in the center of the track saw some tight four cycle racing action. The track will continue to be updated with more curbing, paint, and many other exciting improvements! Driver Point Standings will be updated soon.

It was long held dream of Bishop Troy Moore damaged by an arsonist.
The Mind of Christ of The Living God Ministries was under construction when someone torched it early Sunday causing about $80,000 in damage.
And there are signs this could be a hate crime.
"They stacked the pews up they say. They stacked the pews up and that's where the fire started from," he said.
The pews where members would have sat were burnt like firewood. No music will come from the church organ melted by the blaze.
Since June 2011, members of the church, which is located on Highway 32 near Douglas, had spent their own time building their new church home, but even the tools they used are charred.
And it's not just lost time and material says Moore, it's the fact the act was criminal that hurts the most.
"It's the Devil. That's really the only word I can say. It's the Devil," he said.
The arsonist left behind signs of hate. Swastikas were spray painted on the back wall of the church.
Whoever did it the State Fire Marshal wants them caught.
"There's a reward being offered through the Georgia Arson Control Board up to $10,000 upon conviction," said Coffee County Fire Chief Steve Carver.
"This is a real pitiful thing to do," said Pastor Donald Moore from Broxton.
He came out to show his support for his fellow clergy,
"They've got to be caught," he said. "This is not the first time they've done churches like this and they've got to be stopped."
Just two months away from opening, it's a setback.
"He's a waymaker. I built it by faith so I'm still standing on God and believing in God and keeping the faith," said Moore.
Whether it was the work of a hate group or a lone arsonist who wanted it to appear as such, that's under investigation.
If you have information that could help investigators contact The Georgia Arson Hotline at 1-800-282-5804.

While basketball lovers are getting something of a Christmas gift this season in the December 25 NBA opening day – BiE says "something of" there because this belated debut is kinda like your parents saying, "Well, we'll just give you your birthday gift at Christmas." When your birthday's in October – BallinEurope would like to add to the virtual bounty under the tree with our annual Eurocentric NBA preview.
Here's BallinEurope's predominant working theory for at least the first two months of this season: The teams with more critical players who did a stint in Europe (or South America, for that matter) during the lockout will jump out to the best starts. And with a shortened season increasing the importance of every individual game, imagine what a, say, 17-5 could mean in the long-term – for a European equivalent of this model, how 'bout that CSKA Moscow turbo boost?
So Kevin Garnett's complaining that the preseason is too short … guys like Deron Williams have already been in real-game situations. Manu Ginobili is well rested but not "in basketball shape?" The Danilo Gallinaris, Mehmet Okurs and even the Gasol Brothers of the basketball world are set to go. More back-to-back games than ever before in NBA history? Hey, perhaps those two-a-days European coaches are so notorious for assigning will have readied these NBAers well more than the fortnight many of their colleagues are getting.
BiE would even argue that latecomers such as Tiago Splitter and late-peakers like Serge Ibaka are surely few steps ahead of the many American ballers who did not take Continental clubs up on even the most outrageous of offers. It is with this dictum in mind that this preview and Official Fearless Predictions™ were written. Today, the Eastern Conference.

2 photojournalism graduates take top honors in Hearst multimedia contest
|Date: Tuesday, January 15th, 2013
|Return to Archive
Two WKU photojournalism graduates finished first and second in the first multimedia competition of the 53rd annual Hearst Journalism Awards Program.
Zack Conkle of Louisville received a $2,600 award for winning the Narrative Multimedia Storytelling – Features category with his piece titled "Wright's Law." Leslye Davis of Greensburg finished second and received a $2,000 award. WKU's School of Journalism & Broadcasting will receive matching awards.
Conkle and Davis graduated in May 2012 and are not eligible to participate in the Hearst championship.
WKU is in first place after the first of four contests in the Intercollegiate Multimedia Competition followed by Syracuse University; University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (tie); University of Missouri (tie); University of Nebraska-Lincoln; Kent State University; Southern Illinois University, Carbondale (tie); University of Montana (tie); Iowa State University; and San Francisco State University. The final intercollegiate winners are announced in April.
Often called the "Pulitzers of College Journalism," the William Randolph Hearst Foundation's Journalism Awards Program is conducted under the auspices of accredited schools of the Association of Schools of Journalism and Mass Communication. The program, in which 106 undergraduate journalism programs across the nation are eligible to participate, consists of five monthly writing competitions, two photojournalism competitions, three broadcast news competitions and four multimedia competitions and awards up to $500,000 in scholarships and grants annually.
In 2011-12, WKU's School of Journalism & Broadcasting won the Intercollegiate Multimedia Competition, won the Intercollegiate Photojournalism Competition for the fourth consecutive year and 20th time in 23 years and finished fourth in the Overall Intercollegiate Competition. WKU has finished among the top eight nationally in the Hearst overall rankings for 19 consecutive years and won the national title in 2005, 2001 and 2000.

Rackspace Talks Business Email In San Francisco
This weekend, the Rackspace email team had the pleasure of hanging out at the 2013
REALTORS® Conference & Expo
in San Francisco. It was a great opportunity to educate and demonstrate the value of hosted email services with REALTORS from every region of the country. What we found is that real estate professionals love the convenience and speed of email, but are frustrated with the hassles that come with running a professional-grade email system. That's a problem the Rackspace suite of email hosting services can solve.

Lymphedema (cont.)
Exams and Tests
The diagnosis of lymphedema is often obvious given the history of a surgical procedure or other condition that includes damage to lymph nodes. A careful physical examination and medical history will be necessary to rule out other conditions that can cause limb swelling, such as kidney or heart failure.
In some cases, specialized imaging tests may be ordered to confirm the diagnosis or obtain information about the cause of lymphedema. These may include:

What is LDAP?
"LDAP stands for Lightweight Directory Access Protocol used for accessing and maintaining distributed directory information services over an Internet Protocol network."
Why is LDAP used?
LDAP is used for accessing a directory which can consist of a set of objects, users, groups, login, passwords, permissions etc. Its practical use is more in terms of authentication and access control mechanism. LDAP also provides add, delete, search, modify operations. LDAP is not considered as a standard relational database.
LDAP stores the attribute based data and they are generally read specific data. The entries in LDAP are maintained in tree like structure Directory Information Tree (DIT).
OpenDS is simple Java based open source directory service software which implements LDAP. In today's series we will explore this product for demonstration of the LDAP server.
Let's try to do a hands on exercise on how to install and configure OpenDS.
Step 1
OpenDS software can be downloaded from https://opends.java.net/ link the OpenDS2.2 version.
Install OpenDS2.2 by clicking "setup.bat".
Step 2
Click the option "Install new server instance".
Step 3
Under Server Settings option Add the Host name matches the host name mentioned the config file of your application server. In this case we will use "localhost". Fill up rest of the details along with the password.
Step 4
In case of Topology option select this as a Standalone server.
Step 5
Leave the default options of Directory base DN to dc=example, dc=com
Step 6
Review and Finish
Step 7
Launch Control Panel. You can launch the control panel from the Finish Wizard or you can go to directory OpenDS\bat and execute the command control-panel.bat.
Step 8
The control-panel.bat will open the Directory server control panel.
Step 9
Add users – To add users in the LDAP directory click on Manage Entries option.
Step 10
Right click on the dc=example, dc=com to add New User
Step 11
In the New User panel add the details of the new user. In this case the common name is admin.
We can also create a new group by using the New Group option and assign the created users to this group.
dn – Each entry in the LDAP will have an unique identifier or distinguished name (DN).
cn – Common Name
sn – Surname
dc – Domain Component
ou – Organisational Unit
o – Organisation
st – State
l – Location
c – Country

When the economy turned south, starting in 2008, Richard Melton, owner of Star Realty, felt it in his pocketbook. And like many Madison County residents, he had to make personal sacrifices to make ends meet.
"I gave up my trips to the Caribbean. That's where I used to go to vacation," the former mayoral candidate said.
In fact, vacationing hasn't really been on Melton's agenda as he's tried to keep his 14-year-old company afloat.
"I've given up a lot of free time to get through this crisis period," he said.
Though the federal government reports that the nation is on an economic upswing, Madison County continues to struggle with a 10.2 percent unemployment rate as of December, the latest month for which figures are available. That's one-and-a-half percentage points above the state average and nearly two points above the national average.
The City of Anderson reports personal income averages $30,627, nearly $4,000 below the statewide average.
The loss of jobs and the lower-than-average income has led to a decline in population from 133,358 in 2000 to 131,636 in 2010, according to the U.S. Census. That decline is projected to continue through 2015 when the population is expected to be around 125,000.
Melton attributes the county's slower-than-average economic recovery to the fact that it previously was based on manufacturing and that those jobs have disappeared. But the real estate agent, who recently sold a home with a swimming pool, hot tub and three-car garage, remains optimistic.
"I really feel that there is an economic upswing coming, and I'm looking forward to it," he said.
Though it's too early to tell for sure, Melton may be right, if the number of people visiting one local food pantry is any indication.
Karen Scott, food pantry coordinator at Park Place Church of God, said the number of families seeking assistance in February 2012 was 1,193, up from 931 a year earlier. However, that figure was down from 1,566 in December 2011 and 1,552 in January 2012.
But Scott and pantry volunteer Joe Womack said they aren't sure there weren't factors at play such as the shorter month and holiday in February, and the delivery of tax refund checks.
However, Womack said, one trend has been clear over the nine years he has volunteered at the pantry: The number of people seeking assistance has risen consistently. Though the Nestle plant has picked up some workers, the area has been hit hardest by the closing of General Motors' plants.
"You can really see the upturn starting in 2008 with the economic collapse," the Anderson University retiree said. "We get quite a few who say I was employed for 23 years, and I never thought I'd be coming to a food pantry."
But even those who have managed to hold on to jobs often find themselves only one paycheck away from disaster, Womack noted.
"They are so close to making it, then the car battery goes. A little crisis puts some of them under," he said.

Auto dealers seeing increase in sales
Overall auto sales have been climbing in the U.S., and it's just as true in Madison County, where many dealerships have seen consumer demand on the increase.
Job loss, low incomes lead to population drop
Though the federal government reports that the nation is on an economic upswing, Madison County continues to struggle with a 10.2 percent unemployment rate.
Healthy growth
Growth along the Interstate 69 corridor has been healthy, at least for two area hospitals.
Flagship forms hub of Exit 22
The Flagship Enterprise Center at Exit 22 was created in 2005. The business incubator has helped more than 100 companies get a start.
Hoosier Park VP sees tourism driving economic turnaround
Jahnae Erpenbach, the vice president and general manager of gaming at Hoosier Park, strongly believes that the city of Anderson and Madison County are near a turning point in the area's economic fortunes.
Local banks saw a year of growth
During 2011, banks saw modest growth, returning to the industry despite a rough year in the media spotlight.
Interest in people keeps Baker banking
Mike Baker, the regional president of North Central and Muncie regions of First Merchants Bank, entered the banking industry in 1983.
Bright Automotive may be gone, but not the future
There's no question the demise of Bright Automotive represents a blow to Madison County and the hybrid-electric niche it occupies in the automotive industry. But county economic development officials aren't willing to let the engineering expertise that existed here with Bright slip away without a fight.
Economic Development director on the lookout for businesses
As the city's economic development director, Greg Winkler's job entails seeking companies that are looking to expand or relocate. He tries to make such companies "give Anderson a hard look."
City wants to bring foreign companies, jobs
One of last year's biggest economic development announcements in Anderson was the news that a 72-acre baseball and softball training and competition complex would be built along Interstate 69.

Welcome to the Office for Undergraduate Research (OUR)
At USF, undergraduate research is broadly defined as a project that enables individual students or groups of students to pose or work from a defined research question, apply methods of inquiry to generate findings, and share the findings with others through presentation and publication.
Engaging in undergraduate research is transformational and highly beneficial to students, faculty and the greater university community. Many studies show that students involved in undergraduate research achieve higher grades, have a deeper understanding of their chosen discipline and are more competitive for jobs, national awards and admission to graduate and professional school.
Did you know?In a recent poll of employers, 93% said that a candidate's undergraduate major was less significant than a candidate's ability to communicate effectively and apply knowledge to real-world problem solving

If you own a phone, you help fund 911 centers in your area. Now, one state lawmaker wants to simplify the way things are done.
It's a phone call we hope we never have to address. But when emergencies arise, we rely on 911 centers to send help. To keep them working smoothly, a monthly surcharge on both land line and cell phones is added.
However, the surcharge in Douglas County is lower than the other 92 counties, because by law, Douglas County is capped at a certain rate. That's where senator Bob Krist is stepping in.
"The bill would remove the cap for Douglas County surcharges as this is holding down funding for a regional 911 operations center in Douglas County," Krist said.
Mark Conrey, the director for Douglas County's 911 center explains in more detail.
"We have lost probably about $400,000 a year in revenue for 911," Conrey said.
For example, Douglas County can only charge up to 50 cents per wireless phone number. Whereas other counties can charge up to 70 cents.
"We'd like to be treated the same as every other county in the state," Jack Cheloha with the City of Omaha said.
Krist says centers across the state can then team up to put the money where it's most needed.
"My hope is they can come together with a common levy and say 'Where does the money go? Where does it need to be spent?' and together with the Lieutenant Governor's committee on communications, we can establish better communication throughout the state," Krist said.
Krist introduced the exact same bill last session, it made it to the floor but was never really discussed due to time constraints. The committee took no immediate action on the bill Monday.

PEKIN, Ill. -- Four employees were injured Tuesday afternoon in an explosion that damaged a Pekin facility.
By the time Pekin police and fire fighters got to the Enviro-Safe refrigerants plant in the 100 block of Caroline there was no fire but the building was visibly damaged by the blast with one wall and part of the roof collapsed.
Four employees were transported to OSF St. Francis Medical Center with varying degrees of burns.
Two of the injured, a 50-year-old man and a 57-year-old woman, were life-flighted to the burn unit at OSF St. Anthony Medical Center in Rockford.
A 52-year-old man and a 45-year-old woman remain at OSF St. Francis. The man is listed in serious condition, the woman in fair condition. Both are being treated for various burns and inhalation injuries.
The original call to police was that a building had collapsed. Some of the building's South-east side and roof fell onto nearby railroad tracks.
Tuesday evening, the walls of the old building were partially demolished to prevent them from falling onto nearby railroad tracks.
"The walls are pushed out. The structure is not sound. It's still moving actually," said Deputy Fire Chief Brian Cox. "We have, obviously, the main line of the railroad tracks shut down because of debris."
The Pekin Fire Chief said he may be able to determine a cause for the fire after reviewing closed circuit video from inside the plant providing that the video survived the explosion.
