Pawleys Island median alternative
The discussion regarding the future of Highway 17 in the Pawleys Island community was listed as one of the top issues of 2013. Here we are into 2014 and not much has changed as for as the position our local politicians have taken regarding this issue.
The project was advertised and public hearings were held, very few folks showed up, but as the project gained publicity the community became more interested in what the plan involved.
The Citizens Coalition, consisting of local businesses and concerned citizens, was formed. Public forums were scheduled and discussions with elected officials were held. The Coalition was told an alternative plan would be looked at if it had statistics to back it up. That has been done after frustrating delays in getting FOIA requests and other vital information needed.
Over 150 businesses along with 3,000 citizens signed petitions against the original proposed project, with not one wanting to stop the project, but only requesting that county officials and SCDOT take a second look at what has been stated to potentially negatively impact businesses on the main street of Pawleys Island.
I served as chairman of the GSATS Committee when the Highway 17 Corridor concept was approved about 10 years ago. During this time I saw plans changed and altered for the betterment of a community as concepts became final plans and as communities changed. Our roads are in a constant state of change to better serve communities.
The ownership of changes to this plan is in the hands of our county councilmen, but the real ownership of public streets and improvements belong to those they serve. This strip of highway represents hundreds of years of business investments, hundreds of jobs, and thousands of miles traveled by residents, tourist and industry.
According to national data, statewide and regional transportation projects should consider the following criteria: Does the project promote local and regional economic development; enhance or improve tourism, freight and services, movement of workers, access to jobs and opportunities and access to other transportation facilities?
The Pawleys Island community is unique. We are limited in east/west highway arteries and this several mile project is the life line to our business community, access to residential communities and tourism. The proposed changes will affect the way we travel to work, tourist trade, and access to services and homes for decades. Jobs, future growth and convenience to public services will be impacted.
Our county council members are keenly aware of the alternative plan initiated by the Citizens Coalition which has been presented according to the criteria requested. It represents the concerns of their constituents and deserves their sincere consideration.

Union president criticizes vote on federal water bill
I think its a shame, for all the hard work being done by the Concerned Leaders of Georgetown to get our Ports Dredged, then have some of our South Carolina elected leaders to vote against the best interest of the good people of SC. I applaud the leadership of our elected leaders for standing up and doing the right thing by voting yes on the bill.
I am asking that you please help and follow the lead of the Post and Courier [Ports chair blasts Mark Sanford, Tim Scott for opposing spending bill] and inform the people who doesnt support the Ports!! Its in Black and White and their vote is recorded. Georgetown cant afford this type of stupidity in the disguise of politics. I also notice that Senator Tim Scott and Congressman Jeff Duncan doesnt feel the need to explain why they voted no!!! How ludicrous is this? Mark Sanford at least gave his asinine explanation why he voted no.
[Note: Link to the story: http://www.postandcourier.com/article/2014140129620]
The people in this entire State should know what these 3 Elected Leaders think about the South Carolina Ports!!!!

Two teenagers from Hanson High School near Mitchell are making a difference in the fight against cancer. Nancy Naeve Brown tells us they turned a tragedy into a learning experience that raised awareness and money.
Courtney Tobin and Karissa Jarding are not only seniors at Hanson High School, they're charitable entrepreneurs. Seniors at Hanson are required to do a senior project that affects at least 15 people in the community. With the guidance of their project mentor Lori Lanners, the two girls partnered to raise money and awareness for breast cancer. It's a very personal and still painful cause for Courtney.
Courtney says, "I picked it because my Aunt was diagnosed with it and she fought it for 3 1/2 years so I got to see first hand the struggles."
Sue Bender from rural Fulton lost her battle with breast cancer in August 2007. She was only 42.
Lori Lanners says, "I think they think cancer is something that affects older people. Maybe when you get 60 or 70 that's the people it affects. It's not. It's a mom, a sister, an aunt; everyone is affected by breast cancer.
Sue worked as a nurse at Avera Queen of Peace in Mitchell so the girls wanted the money to come back to the Cancer Care Foundation. Since October is breast cancer awareness month they focused their fundraising efforts at sporting events during that month. The football team was tough in pink and the players bought pink roses to present to their moms on the field. The volleyball team sported pink jerseys and survivors in the crowd lit candles.
Karissa says, "We went around to businesses in Alex and Mitchell and asked for donations. We did a silent auction at each Hometown Pink night. We did a 50/50 raffle, different activities like face painting; nail painting, best dressed contests."
One of the fundraiser's the girls did is to sell t-shirts. They sold them for $15 and they designed them too. The front says: Spread the Hope, Find a Cure. The back says Hope for the Fighters, Peace for the Survivors, Prayers for the Taken.
Avera Queen of Peace Cancer Center Director Charlene Berke says, "It's fantastic what they did."
The girls raised $2,670 and through that money 274 people were screened more than a thousand educated.
Charlene says, "With how tight health care dollars are to be able to find the money to be able to offer these screenings is a challenge so by having great partnerships with places like Hanson High School is incredible how much it can help."
Two girls with the backing of the Alexandria, Fulton and Mitchell communities turned a tragedy into a triumph for breast cancer screening and awareness. I'm not their teacher, but I gotta think they are looking at A's (for their project) because they are nothing short of amazing.

Power of the Badge: It is Time to Stop Feeling Helpless
As with most emotions that occur in the fire service we can't describe it, but we all know it because it seems to be with us every day when we turn on the television – helplessness. As firefighters we are action orientated with one purpose and one...
As with most emotions that occur in the fire service we can't describe it, but we all know it because it seems to be with us every day when we turn on the television – helplessness. As firefighters we are action orientated with one purpose and one purpose only, and that is to protect and to save. Those needs drive us from an internal computer program that was programed long before we drew our first breath; we few, we the chosen guardians.
As the news of the Newtown, CT, shootings flooded the airwaves we all no doubt sat there with that all too familiar feeling of helplessness, and that internal computer program was firing up and sending action signals to the brain even though the tragedy was occurring miles away. For me, I was 7,000 miles away manning a fire station in the Middle East with my military/firefighter brothers in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. As the news reached us at about 9:30 p.m. local time the sounds of bunkroom doors opening in the station could be heard as those action signals were taking hold causing us to all "just kind of" make our way to the station dayroom to do the only thing we could – talk about it. It was something though.
Every firefighter feels invincible to some degree, and confidant in their skills to the highest degree. That is why we can run into burning buildings and other disasters without hesitation or pause. While the emergency responders in Newtown, without a doubt did everything humanly possible and saved every life that could be saved, every firefighter in this nation felt that if they were there maybe "just one more" life could have been saved. Not because our skills are any better or we'd have done anything differently, but by believing that just having one more set of hands and skills on that emergency scene could have made the difference for just one more person; another person could have received CPR, had bleeding controlled, one more established airway. Even though these thoughts are in vain, that internal computer keeps firing off those action programs that we can't control but only react to. However, in the end we were all just left feeling helpless.
But are we?
We are entering a whole new world driven by an increasingly numb society who turns to violence more and more to settle their differences. It is a rising problem in our civilization and the victims are no longer mobsters and gangsters killing themselves (which was bad enough); but now the victims involve women and children, and they are no longer just the innocent victims caught in the cross fire or hit by an errant bullet, but as in Newtown, they are now the targets.
These are non-traditional times and our communities are again desperately looking for heroes with answers and solutions. Historically firefighters have been just that. When this country needed someone to carry the torch we stood up. Our country has a fire problem – we are the solution, we have an emergency medical problem with people dying on highways and in their homes – we are the solution, we have a hazardous materials problem – we are the solution, we have a terrorist problem – we are a big part of that solution. We willingly stood up and grabbed these torches, many times without asking for, and almost always without receiving, additional funding or resources but it was the right things to do. We just simply said what firefighters have been known to say throughout our history when the threats presented itself: "we got this."
So how do we fit into the violence problem such as that which occurred in Newtown? What is our solution to this new threat that the innocent in our nation are facing? It's simple - our badge. As a profession we need to stop thinking one dimensional about our role in our communities. We need to step back and realize the awesome power we wield within our community simply because of who we are and what we do. Think about the awesome trust and faith our communities have just because of the badge that we wear and what we can accomplish with that type of power?

Marie was born on January 17, 1931 in Dora, Ala., to Jody and Adeline Green. She was a sibling to two sisters, Louise and Ruth and six brothers, Marvin, Clifford, Adriane, Tommy, Bobby and Gary.
Even as a child, she possessed a contagious smile and an entertaining sense of humor. Throughout her life she maintained a sweet and simple demeanor that won the trust and hearts of many, who even now are being changed by her witness of constant nurturing love and faith. Her signature gift of joy, shown through her constant smiling, laughter, and joking around, will never be forgotten.

Louisville police say a pregnant woman has died and two other people have been injured when an SUV lost control on Interstate 71 and struck a tree.
Police spokesman Dwight Mitchell told The Courier-Journal (http://cjky.it/13mzJNt ) the three women were headed south near the Gene Snyder Freeway at about 8:30 a.m. EDT Monday when their GMC Envoy went off the road.
One passenger, 31-year-old Latonya Hunt of Sidon, Miss., was ejected in the crash. She was taken to University Hospital in Louisville, where she was later pronounced dead. Jefferson County Deputy Coroner Rita Taylor said Hunt, who was 27 weeks' pregnant, died of blunt force injuries and that the baby also died.
The other two women were also injured and in serious condition.
Mitchell says the wreck remains under investigation.

The Philadelphia Orchestra
Yannick N�zet-S�guin, music director
Photo: Chris Lee
The Philadelphia Orchestra�s 2014-15 season brings something for every music lover as we again welcome many of our world-renowned close friends to the podium, feature unparalleled guest artists, and anticipate remarkable weekends with Yannick together with the Orchestra and so much more.
Yannick N�zet-S�guin launches his exhilarating third season as music director. Experience a season of outstanding live music rich with incomparable and unforgettable musical experiences. Whether you choose a traditional subscription package or a Create-Your-Own package, don�t delay. Subscribing is the best way to guarantee you don�t miss out on your favorite concerts!
> Subscribe Today
Renowned for its distinctive sound, desired for its keen ability to capture the hearts and imaginations of audiences, and admired for an unrivaled legacy of �firsts� in music-making, The Philadelphia Orchestra remains one of the preeminent orchestras in the world. While wholly committed to the exploration of classical music and repertoire, the Orchestra also continues to develop compelling programs that resonate with contemporary audiences. The Philadelphia Orchestra is focused on inspiring the future while transforming its rich tradition of achievement, and seeks to not simply sustain the highest level of artistic quality, but to challenge�and exceed�that level by creating powerful musical experiences for audiences at home and around the world.
Artistic Leadership
Demonstrating a deep and abiding commitment to the highest levels of artistic excellence, The Philadelphia Orchestra has cultivated an extraordinary history of artistic leaders in its 112 seasons, including music directors Fritz Scheel, Carl Pohlig, Leopold Stokowski, Eugene Ormandy, Riccardo Muti, Wolfgang Sawallisch, and Christoph Eschenbach, and Charles Dutoit, who served as chief conductor from 2008 to 2012. Under such extraordinary guidance, The Philadelphia Orchestra has served as an unwavering standard of excellence in the world of classical music�and it continues to do so today.
Yannick N�zet-S�guin joins this small yet illustrious group in the 2012-13 season, serving as the eighth music director of The Philadelphia Orchestra. An integral member of the Orchestra�s leadership team since 2010 when he assumed the title of music director designate, N�zet-S�guin also serves as music director of the Rotterdam Philharmonic, principal guest conductor of the London Philharmonic, and artistic director and principal conductor of Montreal�s Orchestre M�tropolitain. He brings a wealth of talent and vision that extends beyond symphonic music and into the vivid world of opera and choral music. N�zet-S�guin possesses a distinctive gift for reaching audiences, and arrives well-prepared to share his unmatched versatility and depth with Philadelphia and the world.
Philadelphia is Home
Philadelphia is home and the Orchestra continues to discover new and inventive ways to nurture its relationship with its loyal patrons who support the main season (September-May) in Verizon Hall at the Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts. The Kimmel Center, for which the Orchestra serves as the founding resident company, has been the ensemble�s performance hall since 2001. The Philadelphia Orchestra Association continues to own the Academy of Music�a National Historic Landmark and the oldest operating opera house in the nation�as it has since 1957. Each year, the Orchestra returns to the �Grand Old Lady of Locust Street��where it performed for 101 seasons before moving to the Kimmel Center�for the highly anticipated Academy Anniversary Concert and Ball.
Beyond its robust concert offerings at the Kimmel Center, the Orchestra also performs for Philadelphia audiences during the summer months at the Mann Center for the Performing Arts, as well as in venues across the region, including Penn�s Landing, Longwood Gardens, and the Philadelphia Navy Yard. Many of these performances are part of the ensemble�s free Neighborhood Concert Series as well as its educational and community partnership programs�all of which aim to create greater access and engagement with classical music as an art form.
Commitment to Education
The Philadelphia Orchestra also has an important tradition of presenting educational programs for local audiences�a tradition dating back to 1921 when Leopold Stokowski initiated concerts exclusively for children. Today the Orchestra reaches Philadelphia-area families, teachers, students, and children through a multitude of education and community partnership programs. From Sound All Around (designed for children ages 3-5) to Family Concerts (aimed at children ages 6-12 and their families) to eZseatU (a membership program for full-time college students), The Philadelphia Orchestra seeks to introduce orchestral music to a new generation of listeners through these special programs. Further, the Orchestra aims to engage adult audiences more deeply in its performances through learning programs, including free PreConcert Conversations, which occur before every subscription concert, and Lecture/Luncheons with guest speakers. Philadelphia Orchestra musicians serve a key role in growing young musician talent and love of classical music in their own dedicated roles as teachers, coaches, and mentors.
In an effort to more directly connect with the youth of Philadelphia, the Orchestra has implemented the Billy Joel School Concert Program, which improves access to the Orchestra�s School Concerts for underserved city schoolchildren and serves approximately 80 elementary and middle schools chosen from within the School District of Philadelphia. The Orchestra�s School Partnership Program also offers students incomparable exposure and access to The Philadelphia Orchestra and its musicians inside the classrooms of five selected schools in the Philadelphia region. The program�s teaching artists work side by side with classroom teachers using curriculum and materials created by the Orchestra�s education department. Finally, The Philadelphia Orchestra collaborates with schools interested in having Orchestra musicians work with their students through the Musicians in the Schools program. These school visits take the form of assembly programs, performances or demonstrations, clinics, and master classes or sectionals, and generally involve a solo musician.
A Cultural Ambassador Abroad
Through concerts, tours, residencies, presentations, and recordings, The Philadelphia Orchestra touches the lives of countless music lovers around the globe. Outside of Philadelphia, the Orchestra enjoys a three-week summer residency at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center in New York�a venue that was built for the Orchestra�as well as a strong partnership with the Bravo! Vail Valley Music Festival.
The Philadelphia Orchestra also has a long history of touring, having first performed outside of Philadelphia in the earliest days of its founding. The Philadelphia Orchestra was the first American orchestra to perform in the People�s Republic of China in 1973. In 2012 the Orchestra reconnected with its historical roots in China and more deeply embraced its role as a cultural ambassador by launching a new partnership with the National Centre for the Performing Arts (NCPA) in Beijing, a pilot residency that united the Orchestra with talented young Chinese musicians and composers to further develop their orchestral skills. The residency also served to bring orchestral music, through performances and master classes, not only to China�s major cities but also further into the provinces, and to connect through the hearts of local musicians to their supporting communities, through the sharing of musical talents between its own musicians and Chinese musicians, engaging in music education, and spreading the joy of classical music with citizens in residential neighborhoods and at unique historic sites.
An Orchestra that Understands the Power of Innovation in its Art Form
The Philadelphia Orchestra has long pushed the boundaries of convention in the classical music realm. Signature to such a reputation are world and/or American premieres of such important works as Mahler�s Symphony No. 8 (�Symphony of a Thousand�), Stravinsky�s The Rite of Spring, Schoenberg�s Gurrelieder, and Rachmaninoff�s Symphonic Dances. As part of its commitment to bringing classical music to audiences where they are listening, the Orchestra was the first to create an online store for purchasing music. To further expand such distribution, the Orchestra formed a new partnership with Independent Online Distribution Alliance (IODA), making its live recordings available on popular digital music services such as iTunes and Amazon, among others. The Orchestra has also joined with Specticast in pioneering simulcasts of Orchestra concerts into theaters, schools, and performing arts centers.

|New county pier
A new 5- by 12-foot permanent piling pier was recently installed on the Wisconsin River at the Vilas County River Road canoe landing and campsite in Conover. Vilas County Recreation Administrator Dale Mayo was looking for a way to make this project a reality on a limited budget, so he contacted Steve Favorite of Favorite's Permanent Pier Service for advice on how to install pilings for a permanent pier. Favorite also is the county board chairman and was previously chairman of the Forestry, Recreation & Land Committee. Due to an existing resolution 79-2, stating no member of the Vilas County Board shall perform any work for Vilas County for profit, Favorite offered to donate the labor to install the piling (above) and construct the pier (valued at approximately $1,200) if the county supplied the materials. Mayo accepted this offer and the project was completed Aug. 26. Mayo said the finished pier will improve the safety of landing canoes and kayaks at this facility. —Contributed Photo

A lottery system for food truck operators in the District of Columbia is about to start.
The new system, which begins Monday, will allot assigned spaces to participating trucks for their exclusive use every weekday. They'll be able to park in the spaces for four hours.
District officials say the lottery is intended to bring predictability to the city's food truck scene, which until now has permitted operators to park wherever they choose.
The assigned spaces are located in spots where trucks tend to congregate to serve the lunch crowd, including Franklin Square, Farragut Square, L'Enfant Plaza and Metro Center.
Trucks that don't participate can still sell food on district streets, but they have to stay at least 200 feet away from the designated locations and pay parking meter fees.

WARSAW, Poland (AP) -- Germany plays Italy Thursday with a place in the final of Euro 2012 at stake. Follow the action here. All times are Polish.
2104: Good effort from Montolivo from outside the box, but Neuer dives to his right and gets both hands on the shot. A minute later, Cassano tries an ambitious effort from a similar distance but that one is more comfortable for Neuer. The Italians are having a good spell here.
2100: Two saves in as many minutes from Buffon to keep the Germans at bay. An uncharacteristic spill, though, from the Italian goalkeeper in the first attempt. But he got away with it.
2057: It's been a good opening, with both teams going on the attack and some half chances in both goalmouths. Balotelli looking lively, but the question is whether he can be more accurate in front of goal compared to the game against England.
2052: Great chance for Germany, but Hummels' header is cleared off the line by Pirlo, the ball bouncing straight back into a grateful Buffon's hands.
2050: Some early encouragement for the Italians, with Balotelli close to getting on the end of a pass into the box from Montolivo.
2045: Italy gets the match underway. Both teams in their "home" kit tonight, the Italians in blue and white, Germany in white and black. A big atmosphere building, with the Germans outnumbering their Italian opposition in the stands. A big Polish turnout, too.
2030: Just 15 minutes until kickoff in the second semifinal of Euro 2012. For Italy, Giorgio Chiellini returns from injury at left back and Federico Balzaretti moves over to right back in place of Ignazio Abate, who exited the last match with a muscle problem in his left leg. For Germany, striker Mario Gomez reclaims his starting place.
2030: Germany: Manuel Neuer, Holger Badstuber, Jerome Boateng, Mats Hummels, Philipp Lahm, Sami Khedira, Toni Kroos, Mesut Ozil, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Mario Gomez, Lukas Podolski.
Italy: Gianluigi Buffon, Federico Balzaretti, Andrea Barzagli, Leonardo Bonucci, Giorgio Chiellini, Daniele De Rossi, Claudio Marchisio, Riccardo Montolivo, Andrea Pirlo, Mario Balotelli, Antonio Cassano.

Former Saints star out to end FA Cup jinx
6:00am Tuesday 14th January 2014 in Football
LOAN star Andrew Surman is determined to help Cherries bounce back against Burton Albion – and avoid becoming the victim of yet another FA Cup giant-killing.
The central midfielder knows all about the dangers of facing lower-league opposition after enduring a fourth round tie to forget with Norwich City last season.
Ex-Saints favourite Surman and his Premier League colleagues were on the receiving end when Scott Rendell netted to hand Conference club Luton a shock 1-0 win at Carrow Road.
That was only the latest in a dire sequence of FA Cup exits against lower tier opposition Surman has suffered.
In his first two seasons at Carrow Road, Norwich also lost at home to lower division opponents in Leicester and Leyton Orient.
During his sole season at Wolves, in 2009/10, Surman was on the bench when his Premier League club were stunned 3-1 at second tier Crystal Palace.
Ex-St Mary's defender Danny Butterfield played up front for Palace and scored a seven-minute hat-trick in the second half.
Prior to that, Surman was part of the Saints side that suffered a humiliating fifth round exit at third tier Bristol Rovers in February 2008.
That was the day Rickie Lambert first alerted Saints fans to his ability by scoring the winner.
Surman will be aiming to banish all those dismal memories by featuring in a cup victory when Cherries host the in-form Brewers tonight (7.45pm).
Cherries and Burton also have the added incentive of a lucrative televised home showdown with Liverpool awaiting the winners in the fourth round on January 25.
The Brewers will arrive for the rearranged Dean Court clash in the League Two promotion places and on the back of an 11-match unbeaten run in all competitions.
Surman says Cherries must adopt the right approach as they attempt to immediately respond following their 3-0 Championship defeat at Wigan on Saturday.
He said: "It is always dangerous. I am sure everyone says it but teams from the lower leagues raise their game against the teams above them.
"If you are not on it, they will take you apart. You have to be careful. I found out first hand last season. Luton came to Norwich and played very well. We weren't at it and they beat us 1-0.
"You have to be very careful but as long as we go into the game with the right mental attitude and carry on doing the things we do week in, week out in the league, then we are positive about the game.
"I haven't got that far in the competition. There are probably not great memories for me but, hopefully, we can turn that round."
Cherries and Burton will be playing for £67,500 in prize money as well as the chance to test themselves against the likes of Luis Suarez, Daniel Sturridge and Steven Gerrard.
Surman said: "We are trying not to look too far ahead. If we beat Burton, it is a great incentive, but we don't want to look too much further ahead."
Surman made his eighth successive start for Cherries at Wigan and he is hoping Eddie Howe's men can quickly put that loss behind them.
The 27-year-old added: "In the past few games, we had set our standards high and we didn't quite reach those standards on Saturday."

On the bright side, though, he's making his living as a professional footballer, and how many of us would swap everything with him for that?
Good luck Drew, whatever the case, loved you as as Saint, was gutted when you left, and hope you get back to those early heights again.

Funny how the game works out - at one time Andrew was our golden boy, he was deciding between playing for England or South Africa in the World Cup finals; now he's hoping to do enough for a permanent deal at a team who will be lucky to keep their heads above water in the Championship. It begs the question; did he have the stuffing knocked out of him by leaving Saints and 'failing' at Wolves, or was he just not as good as we all thought?

Could still happen for him if he had the drive..Chances are he is happy, with kids and an awesome job..fair play to him if he is

Witnesses testified on the U.S. Central and Special Operations Command fiscal year 2013 budget. They focused on political unrest and violence in Syria, Iran's nuclear program and U.S.-Afghan relations in the midst of violent protests in Afghanistan over Koran burnings. General Mattis said that he believed that Syrian President Assad would remain in power for some time, and that Russian military assistance to Syria made it difficult to establish a no fly zone. close

The FMP-X10 is Sony's second-generation 4K media player, equipped with a 1TB hard drive, access to hundreds of 4K movies, and Netflix's 4K streaming service. It will debut in July for $699, although customers who pre-order can save $200.
With high bitrate movie recording and the same sensor and autofocus system as the A6000, Sony's $700 Alpha A5100 interchangeable-lens camera kit seems pretty interesting on paper.
The Xperia T3 may not have the high-end specs of its top end brother, the Xperia Z2, but its big screen and good looks make it a fair choice for those of you looking for an attractive phone with a display large enough to enjoy movies on the go.
With comparably good sound for its size and the addition of speakerphone features, the Sony SRS-X3 mini Bluetooth speaker measures up well against the pricier Bose SoundLink Mini.
Although the Sony Xperia M2 looks pretty slick, it's let down by its low resolution display and its old version of Android, which makes even its affordable price way too high. For much less money, you could snap up the Moto G or spend a little more and pick up the older Xperia Z with its full HD display and waterproof design.
The Sony Cyber-shot RX100 III is an overall great camera that delivers significant improvements over the RX100 II, but not everyone will think it's worth the extra cost.
If you can stand its speakers, Sony's XBR-X900B will reward you with the best combination of audio and video quality you've ever seen (or heard).
While it doesn't play as loud when it's on battery power, the Sony SRS-X5 holds its own against the top Bluetooth speakers in its size and price class.
The Sony KDL-W800B series is a classy television with excellent color and shadow detail, but in pure bang-for-buck terms, its black level can be bettered for much less.
The SmartBand is an ambitious recipe that needs a little more time in the oven. There are better trackers on the market.

Chinese flavor
I want to thank Claude Pope, the chairman of the N.C. Republican Party, for his June 23 opinion. It demonstrated the party's break from reality.
This nation and its freedoms would not exist without real protest.
Power corrupts. The Democrats got in trouble because they held it for so long. But Republican insistence on locking down one-party rule guarantees their involvement in corruption and cronyism. It is happening already, despite their claims of moral superiority.
Out-of-state influence happens. Pope complains about non-native protesters while taking direction, money and legislation from national conservative and corporate organizations.
We all know about the blind faith and Puritanism of the Republicans. This insistence on the tranquility of the state and the attempt to reshape the thoughts and character of the population look more like Chinese communism than American democracy.
Republicans need to look in the mirror. Meanwhile, we unruly Tar Heels are not going to take the looting and dismantling of our great state calmly.

Jason Leon said he has two regrets about slicing the head off the longest Burmese python recorded in Florida:
He wishes he didnt have to slay the beast, and he wishes his bedroom walls were big enough to mount the snakes skin.
Im actually really mad I had to kill it, Leon, 23, said Monday. But at one point it coiled around both of my legs and my waist, and I wasnt going to take a chance on letting that thing get to my neck.
Leon and two friends were zipping around Florida City on ATVs on May 11 when one of them spotted a snake poking its head out of some brush near Southwest 373rd Street and 167th Avenue.
Leon, a part-time marine biology student at Florida International University and a former owner of pet snakes, jumped off his ride and grabbed the python behind its head, dragging it into the roadway.
He quickly realized the snake was bigger than any hed seen or handled: 18 feet, 8 inches long and 128 pounds, according to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.
The previous record for Floridas longest Burmese python was set in August, when a pregnant snake captured in the Everglades stretched to 17 feet, 7 inches and weighed 165 pounds.
Leon said he wrestled with the python for about 10 minutes before reaching for a knife to destroy it. He reported the find to wildlife authorities, who brought the snake to University of Floridas Fort Lauderdale Research and Education Center for a necropsy.
The thin but healthy snake had not been carrying eggs and had nothing in its digestive system save for a single bird feather, center spokeswoman Carolina Revilla-Vendrame said.
Burmese pythons are a nonnative, invasive species in Florida that for decades have been eating their way through populations of native mammals in the Everglades.
The state organized a highly publicized python-hunting challenge this year to raise awareness of the problem. Smoked and braised python dishes were on the menu this month at a charity dinner featuring invasive species.
Florida prohibits owning or selling pythons for use as pets, and federal law bans importation and interstate sale of the species.
While the Fish and Wildlife Commission lauded Leon for removing the giant python from the streets of South Florida, a spokeswoman noted that, instead of taking matters into his own hands, he could have called the states exotic-species hot line: 888-483-4861 or reported it to IveGot1.org.
With a large snake like that or any wild animal, we urge people to use common sense, the agencys Carli Segelson said. The best thing to do is call our hotline.
Leon said hes been enjoying retelling the stories to incredulous friends. And hes looking forward to Wednesday, when the state is giving him the snakes skin as a souvenir.
I was thinking Id put it up in my bedroom, but I dont think theres enough room on the walls to hold all of it, he said. Ill probably roll it up and keep it in a vase in the living room for now.

DANVERS, Mass. (AP) — A Baltimore company that was a last-minute applicant for one of Massachusetts' gambling licenses is considering a 100,000-square-foot slots parlor at a suburban Boston mall.
Officials in the town of Danvers about 15 miles north of Boston say PPE Casino Resorts contacted the town earlier this month about the possibility of building a 24-hour slots parlor at the Liberty Tree Mall.
Danvers Selectman Dan Bennett tells The Boston Globe (http://bo.st/WcLELt ) the proposal calls for an approximately 50,000-square-foot addition to be added to the current facility. The proposed slots parlor would have up to 1,250 slot machines.
PPE Casino Resorts was one of 11 gambling companies that submitted a $400,000 application fee to the Massachusetts Gaming Commission earlier this month.
State law allows for three full casinos and one slots parlor.

Saints QB Drew Brees and his wife, Brittany welcomed their second child into the world Tuesday with the arrival of a baby boy.
And on Wednesday, the Brees family announced the baby's name via Twitter.
Posted Brees: "It's official. Brit finally gave in. Bowen Christopher Brees. Healthy, happy baby. Big hands, big feet. Brit is great. I am so proud!"
Brees, the MVP of Super Bowl XLIV, posted a message on Twitter earlier this month requesting ideas for uncommon boy names that begin with the letter B. He unexpectedly received a flood of replies.
Brees and his wife also have another young son, who famously wore giant earphones to protect his hearing during the on-field postgame celebration after the Saints defeated the Colts for the NFL title last February.

At least not this offense-dominated NLCS. In Game 5, the Astros and Cardinals both were unable to score in the first inning for the first time in the series, and Astros starter Brandon Backe and Cardinals counterpart Woody Williams continued to put up zeroes.
The teams combined for four hits, by far the fewest in an NLCS game. The previous low was seven, by the Astros and Mets in Game 4 of the 1986 NLCS. Backe and Astros closer Brad Lidge limited the Cardinals to one hit, matching the all-time LCS low, and one total base, a record. The Cardinals were the fourth team limited to one hit, joining the 1974 A's, the 1990 Pirates and the 2000 Mariners.
Vitals check
A look at key statistics through Game 5 of the NLCS.
Team stats
Who was hot?
Who was not?
Behind the numbers
Backe has good stuff; a 91 to 94 mph fastball, a curveball that he can throw for strikes, an occasional changeup and slider. But he pitched the best game of his Major League life in Game 5 (eight shutout innings, one hit) because he was aggressive against the Cardinals' imposing lineup. Backe started the first six hitters he faced with a first-pitch strike, 12 of his first 14 and 17 of 27 overall.
Frozen moment
They call Beltran "Superman," and he showed why in the late innings. Beltran laid out to make a diving, inning-ending catch in the seventh inning, then scaled Tal's Hill in center field for the first out of the eighth. Both balls could have kick-started Cardinals rallies.
Slick move
Lidge had pitched two innings in each of Games 3 and 4 and thrown 68 total pitches, but Astros manager Phil Garner turned to him again in the ninth inning of a scoreless Game 5. Lidge, whose availability was in doubt before the game, came through with a nine-pitch, 1-2-3 inning, and the Astros won in the bottom of the inning. No one was looking forward to Tuesday's day off more than Lidge.
Going deep
Kent belted the second postseason walk-off home run in Astros history, joining Alan Ashby, who ended Game 1 of the 1981 NLDS against the Dodgers (a two-run shot off Dave Stewart in the ninth). And it was just the fifth game-ending home run in NLCS history, the first since New York's Lenny Dykstra beat the Astros in Game 3 of the 1986 NLCS.
Where are the runs?
When the Astros and Cardinals went into the ninth inning knotted in a scoreless tie, it marked just the third time in NLCS history and the first time that the home team won. Atlanta and Pittsburgh did it in Game 6 of the 1991 NLCS (Atlanta won on the road) and the Pirates and Reds took a scoreless tie into the 10th inning of Game 1 of the 1970 NLCS (Cincinnati won, also at Three Rivers Stadium).
Last word
"We have to go play the same way we are playing here at home. We know they have a good team and they can get back, but, also, we have a good team. We showed that we can get back, and now we have the lead. We've got to go to their house and try to get them over there."
-- Beltran

Furcal injures hamstring in Game 1 loss
Shortstop's status in doubt for rest of series vs. Mets
NEW YORK -- Dodgers shortstop Rafael Furcal's left hamstring tightened in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader with the Mets and manager Joe Torre said he probably won't play in either of the remaining two games here.
Furcal suffered the injury when he grounded into a double play to end the seventh inning of the Dodgers' 4-0 Game 1 loss. He finished out the game.
But between games, Torre said Furcal would not start the second game and was "doubtful" for the series finale Wednesday. The Dodgers don't have a true backup shortstop. Jamey Carroll started at shortstop in the second game.
"He didn't feel he tore it, it just felt tight," said Torre
Furcal's injury adds to a recent wave of ailments that have recently landed left fielder Manny Ramirez (right calf), Opening Day starting pitcher Vicente Padilla (radial nerve), reliever Jeff Weaver (stiff back) and catcher Brad Ausmus (back surgery) on the disabled list in the past 2 1/2 weeks.
In addition, right fielder Andre Ethier has been playing with a sprained left ankle since the first series of the season.

For the Notte-Steele family of Rutland, it's about seeing the tree through the forest. "We kind of took a ride for a couple of weekends. We went to Lincoln and all sorts of places but when we came here I was like, oh my god, this is the most I've ever seen in one spot -- this is going to be great," said Sabra Notte-Steele.They found the tree in Ripton last weekend, but waited until all their kids could be together this Sunday to cut it down. "It's like the perfect tree. It's one of the best ones that we've ever found," Notte-Steele said.This is their third year tracking down their own tree -- and they're not alone. So far this year the Forest Service has sold more than 200 permits, and they expect that number to keep climbing as it gets closer to Christmas. "It's just nice to have something to do with five kids that takes some time and doesn't cost a million dollars to do it," Notte-Steele said.It's an activity that costs just $5 to be exact. That's the price of the permit you need from the Forest Service. You put the orange sticker on your tree after you've taken it down. And that's not the only rule the Forest Service says you must obey -- there are others. For example, the tree can't be more than 20 feet tall, you only get one tree per household per year, you can't cut it above six inches from the ground, you must avoid camping areas and you can't cut down a tree within 25 feet of a Forest Service or public road. For this family it was a quick walk down the beaten path that led them to their tree. They say they doubt most people realize just how fast and easy finding the right tree can be."Because we have kids from 16 to 6 we can't be bringing the 6-year-old over rocks and mountains. These guys can do it, but the little ones can't," Notte-Steele said. And for their youngest, Malia, it's not just about cutting it down, but about taking it home to dress it up."Usually we'll put the ornaments right here. And the star will go up there," said Malia Notte-Steele.With 400-thousand acres of National Forest here in Vermont, this family believes there could be a tree out there for everyone.

Okay, so this isn't really breaking news. It's been public knowledge for at least a few weeks now, but the pomp and circumstance is taking place at a downtown Ottawa hotel today.
The 2012 NHL All-Star Game is heading to the Nation's Capital. (No, not Washington.) The game will take place on the weekend of January 28th.
Ottawa and the Senators have hosted their fair share of big hockey events over the last several years, including the 2007 Stanley Cup Finals, the 2008 NHL Draft and the 2009 World Junior Hockey Championships.
The game will be played at Scotiabank Place, which is practically in the middle of nowhere outside the city in Kanata, Ontario. They really should just play the game on the Rideau Canal, but nevertheless.
