Company's efforts align with Gov. Fallin's State of the State address
Tulsa, OK — In today's State of the State address, Gov. Mary Fallin showed her support for a tobacco-free environment in Oklahoma – specifically supporting "local control." Several statewide organizations are showing similar support, such as Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Oklahoma, the State Department of Health and the Oklahoma Health Improvement Plan.
With the support of local organizations and businesses, Oklahoma legislators are currently considering laws that could lift these restrictions. Senate Bill 36 would allow communities to make healthier choices at the local level. Oklahoma and Tennessee are the only two states in the nation that prohibit local communities from establishing tobacco laws that are stricter than those of the state.
"Our communities deserve the opportunity to engage in local dialogue and take steps closer to improving the health of their residents," said Ted Haynes, President of Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Oklahoma. "We owe it to the next generation to open the door to healthier communities."
History shows that healthier communities equal healthier businesses. As mentioned in the State of the State address, tobacco costs Oklahomans more than $2 billion in health care costs and lost workforce productivity annually. Almost 6,000 Oklahomans die each year due to smoking-related illnesses. Restoring "local control" can allow communities to react to the desires of their citizens.

FWC to crack down on drinking and boat drivingby Willie Howard
It's not even the Fourth of July weekend yet, and the Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission is planning a statewide crackdown on drinking and boating.
It's hot enough out there to make a boat driver dizzy. Add a few beers to the mix and the boat driver's ability to see and react drop significantly.
It's OK to drink on a boat. Just designate a competent, non-drinking driver if you do.
The crackdown is part of a nationwide effort called Operation Dry Water. The goal is to educate boat drivers before the traditionally busy Fourth of July weekend and to get under-the-influence boat drivers off the water.
Nearly one in five fatal boating accidents involve alcohol.
Earlier this month, the FWC charged Mandy J. Romeu, 42, of Deerfield Beach with boating under the influence/manslaughter in the death of Christopher Smith.
Smith was a passenger on Romeu's boat May 8 when the boat slammed into an intracoastal waterway marker just south of Atlantic Avenue in Delray Beach around 2 a.m., killing Smith.
Think before you drink on the water.
Find someone who can handle the boat first or wait until the boat is moored or secured on a trailer before cracking that beer.

A Rushville man has been sentenced to 20 years in prison following his conviction on a charge of child molesting, a class "D" felony.
According to a news release from the Rush County Prosecutor's office, Garyn Randolph, 26, of Rushville, was sentenced April 26, 2013, by Rush Circuit Court Judge David Northam to 20 years in prison.
The release states that Randolph admitted having sexual intercourse with a minor under the age of 14.
According to the probable cause affidavit filed in this case, Randolph was a guest at the home of the victim's family. While there, he went to the victim's bedroom to play video games. Alone in the child's bedroom, Randolph had sexual intercourse with the minor. After the sexual encounter, Randolph sent the child text messages that were sexual in nature. The minor later told members of her family who called law enforcement and an investigation began.
"I have to praise the victim and her family in this case for fully participating in the investigation which led to this conviction," said Chief Deputy Prosecutor Phillip Morgan. "It isn't easy for a child to come forward and give statements to law enforcement describing the types of sexual acts that a person did to them. Many times the child is scared or even embarrassed to talk about what happened to them, but we are fortunate in this community to have law enforcement personnel and other professionals who are trained to talk with children in these difficult circumstances."
Prosecutor Phil Caviness said that while he was happy with the disposition of this case, he warned that it is not an isolated event.
"It is easy for us to put our heads in the sand and think that crimes that involve sexual acts only happen in other communities. The truth of the matter is that we have seen an increase in sex crimes here in Rush County in the last few years, especially those involving children. These perpetrators usually are family members or friends of the victim's family. It is extremely important for parents to talk with their children about what to do if someone tries to touch them inappropriately."
Morgan thanked Detective Richard Gosser and Sergeant Terry Drake of the Rush County Sheriff's Department as well as members of the Rush County Office of the Indiana Department of Child Services for their work in investigating the case.
Due to the age of the victim, the names of the victim and victim's family are not being released.

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) – There was something strange in a neighborhood: a man, dressed up as a Ghostbuster posing for photos at a school volleyball game. However, what's alarming is that Bryan Patrick Scott, 40, is a convicted sex offender and has been around children for years.
It wasn't until recently Scott was booted from a group that entertains crowds. Scott played the part of the Louisville Ghostbusters until his own group busted him.
"He was with us for almost two years. We're in no way affiliated with him and we cut ties with him once we found out about his criminal record back in July," said Jim Ross, a group member.
The Louisville Ghostbusters is comprised of a group of friends who enjoy going out in the community dressed up like the characters from the 1980s film. They even appeared in the Pegasus Parade this year. The group removed Scott in July 2013 when they discovered his criminal past.
Recently, police charged Scott with failure to comply with sex offender registration. On October 14, Scott allegedly attended a youth volleyball game at Beth Haven Christian School.
"He had brought his car that looks like the Ghostbusters response vehicle, he was in his costume and we have pictures of him with children taking photos inside and outside the property," said Sgt. Jack Jawor of the Louisville metro Police Department's sex crimes unit.
Considering the conditions of his probation conditions, we wanted to know why Scott visited a school. When I questioned him about that, Scott grabbed the microphone and said, "You're being advised to get out of my face."
Scott never answered the question.
"Who's responsible to make sure it doesn't happen again? I suppose that's the courts, the community and law enforcement," Sgt. Jawor said.
The Kentucky Division of Probation and Parole governs activities of those on the Kentucky Sex Offender Registry. The registry indicates he was convicted of possessing or viewing matter portraying a sexual performance by a minor.

First-Prize Doughnuts Recipe
"One year I entered 18 different baked goods in the county fair and all of them won a ribbon. Here is my favorite prize-winning doughnut recipe. I have been making doughnuts since I was a bride 58 years ago!" —Betty B. Claycomb, Alverton, Pennsylvania
- 2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
- 1/2 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
- 1/2 cup warm 2% milk (110° to 115°)
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup shortening
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4-1/2 to 5 cups all-purpose flour
- Oil for deep-fat frying
- 1-1/4 cups confectioners' sugar
- 4 to 6 tablespoons water
- Colored sprinkles and/or assorted breakfast cereals
- In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the milk, sugar, shortening, eggs, salt and 2 cups flour; beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
- Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
- Punch dough down. Turn onto a floured surface; roll out to 1/2-in. thickness. Cut with a floured 2-1/2-in. doughnut cutter. Place on greased baking sheets. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
- In an electric skillet or deep fryer, heat oil to 375°. Fry doughnuts, a few at a time, until golden brown on both sides. Drain on paper towels.
- In a shallow bowl, combine confectioners' sugar and water until smooth. Dip warm doughnuts in glaze; decorate as desired with sprinkles and/or cereals. Yield: 20 doughnuts.

I have tried making donuts many times before and found some okay recipes. But by far this one was the best. They are a little more time consuming as they are a yeast donut, but they are so worth it. Much better than the other donut recipes I have tried. Really good with a maple glaze too, mmmm! :)

Scott Boras, of course, is one of the world's true super-agents, and a guy with whom I'm sure a lot of baseball executives are loath to negotiate. He sets his sights high, and, more often than not, he manages to pull a great deal for his clients. Boras is such an effective agent that many baseball fans have taken to calling him evil, because of the money he secures.
One of Boras' trademark techniques is putting together exhaustive, laudatory notebooks on some of the best free agents he represents. Back in 2000 he put together a massive binder on Alex Rodriguez, and he's continued with that strategy through this year, as he's created a 73-page notebook about Prince Fielder. He's also produced thorough binders about Ryan Madson, Edwin Jackson and a few others.
The binders serve a dual purpose. For one thing, they show to each client how hard Boras is working. And for another, obviously, they work as informative albeit biased reference volumes for interested general managers. Boras passes these things out to try to get teams to look at his clients the way that he does.
Now, Boras does not produce these binders for all of his clients. That would be too much work, and some of his clients just aren't quite good enough to be worth it. The linked article by Jerry Crasnick, for example, implies that Boras did not build a notebook for client Willie Bloomquist. However, you shouldn't be fooled into thinking that Boras doesn't work hard for everyone, and that he isn't always trying to get his players the best deal possible. What follow are some of the ways that Boras pitched Bloomquist to baseball executives earlier in the offseason.
Twist ties
Boras produced thousands of twist ties with Willie Bloomquist's name on them, and sent them out to every team, with the color of the twist ties corresponding to the primary color of each team's logo. The twist ties were accompanied by a hand-written note saying that, "much like these twist ties, Willie Bloomquist helps to keep things fresh."
On-demand shuttle runs
Whenever Boras spoke to an interested general manager on the phone, he volunteered to send Bloomquist to the general manager's home town on his agency's private jet. Once Bloomquist arrived, he would find the general manager and perform as many shuttle runs as the general manager desired.
Novelty lighters
Boras produced dozens of novelty lighters made to look like a bust of Willie Bloomquist, and that opened at the mouth. He sent them out to every team, and the lighters were accompanied by a hand-written note saying that, "much like this lighter, Willie Bloomquist helps to keep things ignited."
This flyer
Even though Boras didn't produce a thick and thorough Willie Bloomquist binder, he did still produce the following single-page flyer, several copies of which were mailed out to every team.
Operant conditioning
Boras made sure to conduct all of his phone calls with an assistant nearby. When he was talking to a team's general manager, he instructed his assistant to let out an enthusiastic "WOO!" in the background whenever he mentioned Willie Bloomquist's name, and to let out a blood-curdling scream in the background whenever he mentioned the name of a player who isn't a client. This way, general managers would associate Willie Bloomquist with happiness, and other players with absolute terror.
Did it all work? Willie Bloomquist wound up signing a two-year contract with the Diamondbacks worth $3.8 million. You tell me if it worked. Scott Boras is a hard worker, and a hard worker for his clients, and in the end, Scott Boras usually gets what Scott Boras wants.

Choking advice for parents
2:10pm Friday 21st February 2014 in News
CHARITIES have raised concerns after a survey revealed half of parents did not know the correct procedure to take if their child started choking.
The survey was commissioned to mark the publication of the latest edition of the First Aid Manual.
It contains information on the new choking technique.
Previously, the advice was to place infants along the parent's arm face down, but this has changed to placing the baby face down along the thigh.
A spokesman for the North West branch of St John Ambulance said: "The new manual is a must for every home."

Beer Calories, Beer Belly and Health
A lot of research on wine and beer indicates that one drink a day can help protect against heart stroke, coronary disease, dementia, and more. In fact, some studies suggest that drinking in moderation can actually help you keep the weight off! In a recent study at Texas Tech University, researchers determined that those who consumed a daily drink were 54 percent less likely to have a weight problem than teetotalers. Between one and two drinks a day results in a 41 percent risk reduction. But that's where the good news ends. Consumption of three or more daily drinks increases your risk of obesity, says the study.
Wonder which are the unhealthiest alcoholic drinks and healthiest bar drinks?

Seattle traded for Eagles OG Stacy Andrews on Saturday, but lost offensive line coach Alex Gibbs, according to an NFL Network report.
The Seahawks reportedly gave up only a seventh-round draft choice for Andrews, who became expendable when the Eagles traded for Arizona OG Reggie Wells on Friday. Andrews spent only one season in Philadelphia, where he played in 10 games and started two last season.
The departure of Gibbs, 69, was surrounded by mystery. When some players noticed that his office was empty, they were told he was no longer with the team because of "health" reasons. A team spokesman said Gibbs was "worn out."
New Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll had talked Gibbs out of retirement this offseason, calling Gibbs the "guru of the zone-blocking scheme," according to SeattlePI.com.

Happy Wednesday everyone! We made a shoreline run around Palos Verdes and the South Bay this morning and scored! We watched three gray whales swim slowly south just a couple hundred yards from the Redondo Beach shore.
They were likely on their way down to the warm lagoons of Baja where they spend a couple of months mating and breeding. An average adult gray whale is 45' long and weighs 35 tons. Check out the awesome footage!

A Colorado woman was impaled by a light pole after she crashed because she was texting and driving.
For the first time in four years, residents in Mecklenburg County will get a State of the County update. It's a mixed bag of news.
Commissioner Trevor Fuller, Chair of the Board of County Commissioners, says "we want to provide for the community for what we're doing, where we've been, and where we're going."
Fuller says "there are some positive signs for us after some difficult times, some turmoil. I think we're beginning to turn the corner."
But there are also some major concerns – like the concentration of poverty - in Mecklenburg County, especially Charlotte.
Fuller is scheduled to deliver the speech Thursday morning at the Charlotte Mecklenburg Government Center.
In an interview with WBTV – previewing some of the major points of his speech – Commissioner Fuller says "we have our eyes clearly set on where we need to go, that we have identified some steps that will get us there, and we're taking those steps to take us to a more positive place for Mecklenburg County."
The good news:
Commissioner Fuller says "our revenue picture is looking much better than we thought it would be."
The County's Finance Department says so far this fiscal year the county has collected more than $805M tax revenue...including property and sales taxes, vehicle tag and tax, and fees for services.
By July, that revenue is expected to top $1.34B.
The 2011 Revaluation – when some property owners received hefty tax bills because of their land was overvalued – had commissioners worried. How much would the corrections cost the county?
"What we're finding is the picture is not as negative as we thought it would be" says Commissioner Fuller. "We expected the changes in property values would be more stark that they have turned out to be."
According to Fuller, the growth of the economy and the growth of the housing market "has shown in the value of property so that the current property values are higher than they were in 2011 and so even as we're correcting for values from 2011 we still have growth in property values. So that the net effect of making those changes from 2011 revaluation has turned out to be a little less than we thought it would be."
Fuller adds the county still has reserve funds in the general fund balance to provide refunds for those property values that were off and that were corrected.
In a couple of weeks, commissioners and county officials will start to address the fiscal year 2015 budget.
Fuller says he does not expect Mecklenburg County residents will face another property tax hike. However, he's not ready to say if there will be a rollback of taxes.
It's not just revenue has a bright outlook.
"We have created over 11,000 new jobs in Mecklenburg County in the last year which is 2% more than the year before" says Commissioner Fuller.
Some bad news:
As the county focuses on bringing jobs to the area, Fuller says "we need to address in the field of economic development - we have heard the business community tell us – there are some inefficiencies with the way we conduct code enforcement, permitting and inspections." Fuller says the department is well run, but there are needs that the county is not meeting.
The troubling news:
"The biggest concern we have is the condition of poverty in this county" says Commissioner Fuller. "We have the worst concentration of poverty in the state. These are simply unacceptable conditions in the face of all the prosperity that we're experiencing in our county. For us to allow this intractable poverty to exist – we just cannot allow this any longer."
Fuller says during his speech he will give details about the steps he would like the county to take to address poverty.

Winston Churchill, Bessie Braddock, and Python
Last night I was talking with someone about the pros and cons of various programming languages and frameworks for data analysis. One of the pros of Python is its elegance. The primary con is that it can be slow.
The conversation reminded me of an apocryphal exchange between Winston Churchill and Bessie Braddock.
Braddock: Winston, you are drunk.
Churchill: Yes I am. And you, Bessie, are ugly. But I shall be sober in the morning, and you will still be ugly.
Python can be slow, though there are ways to improve its performance. But ugly code is just ugly, and there's nothing you can do about it.

You could remove it, or you could say 'origanls of both'. Have there been a number of invoices? the use of the adjective suggests this. If not, then remove it freely. However, if there are two or more invoices, then it does add important information, so keep it or use 'first' and then add 'both',

"The Archaeology of the Oasis Tayma: Continuity and Change of Subsistence in the arid north-western region of the Arabian Peninsula from the Neolithic to Islamic periods" is a joint-project of the Saudi Commission for Tourism and Antiquities, Riyadh, and the German Archaeological Institute, Berlin. The long-term project is funded by the German Research Foundation. Regular seasons of excavation have been conducted since 2004.
The oasis of Tayma (27°37'30" N, 38°32'30" E, ca 830 m above sea level, Province of Tabuk) is located in the North-West of the Arabian Peninsula, an area which is characterised by its arid climate. Tayma is situated in a flat basin and is surrounded by several mountainous heights, such as the Jabal Ghunaym. North of the settlement is a large dry lake (sebkha), occupied by a lake some ten thousand years ago. The characteristic environment of the oasis is best represented by the Bir Hadaj well of some 18 m diameter in the city centre and extended palm gardens. The rapidly growing modern settlement presently covers about one third of ancient Tayma, which has an estimated area of some 950 ha. The most visible remains of the ancient occupation are the high city walls.
New perspectives
Latest archaeological and palaeoenvironmental research indicate occupation by a sedentary population as early as the 4th millennium BC. Remains of a flinstone industry for the production of beads go back to that period. An urban style is expressed by the impressive mudbrick walls of the outer fortification, which, according to scientific dating methods (OSL, 14C), may be dated as early as the 3rd millennium BC. Whereas the late Early Bronze Age / Early Middle Bronze Age is represented by metal weapons (excavated by a Saudi expedition in 2003), continuous occupation is attested from the early Iron Age onwards. At this time, there were apparently intense contacts between Tayma, Egypt and the Levant. These new results have fundamentally changed the perspective on Tayma as a place which had been understood mainly as a place of the 1st millennium BC.
Trade and politics
The written sources from Tayma and its surroundings are characterised by early North-West Arabian Taymanitic (Thamudic) and Aramaic texts, concentrating on the 1st millennium BC. Nevertheless, until now the historical image of Tayma was mainly shaped by foreign sources. Assyrian texts of the 9th century BC mention Arab tribes. The place name of Tayma is mentioned in the early 8th century BC text from the Middle Euphrates before being mentioned in the context of tribute to be delivered to the Assyrian king Tiglathpileser III. Further on, Tayma is mentioned as a trading post, also in the Biblical sources. In spite of new cuneiform texts from the oasis itself and of the known sources of the Achaemenid period the type of connections between Tayma and the larger political units of the Late Babylonian and Achaemenid periods is little known.
Regional history
On a regional level the relation between Tayma and the neighbouring oasis Dedan (modern al-Khuraybah) was characterised by concurrence. Kings of the Liyhanite dynasty of Dedan deposited inscriptions in one of the temples of Tayma and erected statues. At the same time, the size of the settlement was reduced, probably a sign for the shifting of power in the region. Tayma becomes part of the Nabataean sphere, less clear is the impact by the Roman-Byzantine empire. Although the poet Imru' al-Qays (d. 540 AD) says that the rain-storm "does not leave a palm-tree in Tayma nor a house unless it is built of stone", the city played an important role in the expansion of Islam towards the Levant. Before, an important Jewish community lived at Tayma. As late as the 11th century, according to the historian al-Bakri, Tayma was known as a wealthy place with a large city wall.
The project developed the following main aims in accordance with the general research plan of the German Archaeological Institute:
19th and 20th century
In 1877 C. Doughty delivered the first detailed description of the site of Tayma, including its architecture and pottery, and a sketch map. Subsequently, the investigations of C. Huber in 1883 (later together with J. Euting) resulted in the Tayma Stele to be exposed in the Musée du Louvre. Decades later, H.St J. Philby started archaeological and environmental observations at the site (1951). The publication by Winnett and Read (1970) of their survey in NW Arabia provided not only a wealth of textual evidence from the site (mainly dated to the 6th century BC) but also presented the characteristic painted potsherds. After that, P. Parr conducted excavations at a nearby watch-tower.
From the 1970s until now
The systematic investigation and record of archaeological sites by the Directorate of Antiquities of the Kingdom which started in the mid-1970s and saw the foundation of the journal ATLAL led to further research at the site. In 1979, G. Bawden, C. Edens and R. Miller commenced large-scale research at Tayma (Qasr al-Hamra, Qasr al-Radm) and published a plan of the site. The Directorate of Antiquities continued excavations at Tayma, in the cemeteries, irrigation systems and remains of Islamic buildings (see bibliography). On the epigraphic side, attention has been given to the discovery of Taymanitic inscriptions, though not at the site itself but in the vicinity, mentioning king Nabonidus of Babylon (Müller and Said 2002). Since 2004 the German-Saudi cooperative project is active at the site, archaeologically investigating the ancient remains and the environment.
Since 2004 there have been up to two seasons of field work every year. The activities centre on stratigraphic excavations of settlement remains and on environmental studies at the site and its surroundings. Furthermore, conservation measures are carried out on objects and building remains.
The archaeological research is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) as a long-term project. The following projects are attached to these investigations:
Participating scientific disciplines
The archaeological project integrates a number of disciplines from historical studies (Semitic philology, Assyriology, architectural history and restoration) and geo-sciences (archeozoology, archaeobotany, hydrology, geology and geophysics, mineralogy and petrology). Furthermore, the field of conservation and restoration is represented. The interdisciplinary co-operation is continuously being extended and intensified. This is also valid for the co-operation between the departments of the German Archaeological Institute and partner universities on a national and international level.
Applied methods
Stratigraphic overview
Altogether six occupational periods from Neolithic to Modern have been identified at a number of locations:
Earliest Remains (Neolithic, Chalcolithic, Early Bronze Age: Occupational Period 6)
In Compound B a number of Neolithic flint projectiles have been found at the surface. Extensive wast dumps of a stone tool industry and carnelian beads have been found at the eastern margings of the sebkha. They can be dated either to the Chalcolithic ort he Early Bronze Age. The original location of the production site remains presently unknown, but may have been in the vicinity. Countless numbers of these objects have been transferred to the central part of the settlement, when mud from the sebkha was used for the production of the bricks of the outer city wall.
Middle and Late Bronze Ages (Occupational Period 5)
The discovery of a fenestrated axe and a ribbed dagger at Sana'iye by M. al-Hajjari in 2003 provided first evidence of the presence of artefacts at Tayma which can be connected to Egypt and the Levant. However, these objects were found in secondary deposition.
Whereas scientific dating (OSL) of the sand dunes accumulated at the outer city wall indicate a construction of the wall as early as the 3rd millennium BC, a 14C dating result of organic remains from mudbricks of that wall provides an 18th century BC date, from which a construction of the wall during or after the Middle Bronze Age can be deduced (the walls of Tayma have been investigated by a project of the Brandenburg Technical University Cottbus and the Architectural Department at the Head Office of the DAI, founded by the Fritz Thyssen Foundation between 2005 and 2008).
At Tayma the presence of Qurayyah Painted Ware (a Late Bronze Age pottery style known from Northwest Arabia, the Southern Levant and Sinai) in secondary contexts, indicates the presence of occupational remains of this period at Tayma. Remains of it may have been found at the outer city wall (Area Q). A tower at the northwestern branch of the outer city wall (Square W41) may have been built and used during the Late Bronze Age as well.
Early Iron Age (Occupational Period 4)
At the southwestern periphery of the settlement remains of a public building (probably a temple) built on natural bedrock have been excavated, surrounded by a massive 35 x 38 m enclosure wall (Area O). Objects recovered from this building show close connections to Egypt, the Levant and Syria: Egyptian gods/goddesses and scarabs made of fayence, fayence vessels with the representation of lotos flowers, mask pendants of fayence, reed baskets, wooden boxes, inlays of bone and wood, 'tokens' made of ivory (gaming pieces?). The pertaining pottery decorated with bichrome representations of birds framed by geometric motifs and of hundreds of unpainted small beakers, probably used for consumption during ritual ceremonies. The building was equipped with its own water supply and a cistern. The entire building was destroyed by fire. 14C dates of seasonal plants provide a 12th to 9th century BC date for the use-life of the building. Contemporary (14C) building remains were excavated at the outer wall (Area A), where a small building had been erected on top of the accumulated sand dunes. In Area A, painted pottery identical to that of Area O was discovered as it was the case farther south within the walled settlement (Areas H, Q) as well as in the central part of the site (Area E) - always in secondary deposition.
Middle to Late Iron Age (Occupational Period 3/1)
Middle Iron Age pottery has been identified within a sequence in Area Q. Bowls and jars with formal affinities to Syro-Mesopotamian and Levantine pottery have been observed. Several sherds of this period have been observed at other places of the site in secondary deposition.
Probably of the same date are the cemeteries of Tal'a and Sana'iye (Industrial Site), which are characterised by the presence of a further painted pottery style (Sana'iye pottery). Circular or rectangular grave buildings / chambers have been built on natural bedrock in clusters and contain multiple burials. 14C dates from Tal'a indicate a maximum duration from the 9th to 5th century BC of the occupation of the cemetery. In the settlement, the painted pottery was only discovered in filling layers or in deposits on the bedrock, probably indicating a complete removal of pertaining building remains before a reorganisation of the central part of the site took place.
An arched stele which was found in the debris east of the temple in Area E (see below) shows a standing royal figure and three astral divine symbols, identifying the object, together with the preserved cuneiform text, as work of the last Babylonian king Nabonidus (556-539 BC). This king lived for ten years at Tayma. A disc-shaped object, probably the base of the same stele, mentions for the first time the king's name in cuneiform at Tayma. The presence of these monumental inscriptions may point to the existence of settlement remains of that period, but none of them have been clearly identified so far. Remains may have been encountered at the northeastern part of the central part of the settlement (beneath temple E-b1 and east of it), where massive walls and an extended building with large stone blocks have been discovered.
The most prominent artefact of the Achaemenid period at Tayma is the so-called Tayma Stone, probably to be dated to the early 4th century BC. The majority of the imagery of Tayma has been dated to this period (5th/4th century BC).
The Lihyanite dynasty, the Nabataeans and Late Antiquity (Occupational Period 3/2)
Probably starting with the 4th century BC there are indications for the presence of the Lihyanite dynasty of Dedan at Tayma. At various locations of the site, Aramaic royal inscriptions and fragments of monumental statues attest that Tayma may have been under control of this dynasty for several generations. To this period the construction of a temple building at the northeastern part of the central mound can be attributed (Area E, Building E-b1, Building Level E:3). The building could be accessed through a pair of monumental stairs and a platform leading into a columned hall. In front of the temple there were numerous large basins installed. The interior walls of the building were once coated with white plaster bearing coloured decoration. The floor consisted of large flagstones. A subterranean tunnel connected the temple with a well. Inscriptions and fragmentary statues of Lihyanite rulers were reused as building materials during the Late Antique period (Building Stage E:3a). There are two pillars with inscriptions of years 30 and 40 of king TLMY. Inscriptions of years 4 and 20 of the same king are attested as well. Most probably this king can be identified with a TLMY of the Lihyanite king list who reigned for 44 years (Farès-Drappeau 2005). A further inscription attests the existence of a governor of Tayma at the time of a king LWDN, who was responsible for construction work at the (already existing) city wall. The findspot of this inscription next to the inner city wall, thus, indicates the earliest possible construction date of this wall, indicating at the same time that the city area had been considerably reduced. During the time of the Lihyanite dynasty, outside of this wall there was a graveyard with single and multiple burials, cut into the bedrock and covering the Early Iron Age complex of Area O.
At the same time, south of the temple a large residential area had developed which was occupied until the Nabataean and Late Antique periods. A number of distinctive building levels have been identified, and the most significant changes have been registered between Building Levels F:3 and F:2. In addition to Nabataean inscriptions on pottery jars, an inscription mentioning the Nabataean king Aretas IV was recovered from the temple (E-b1). Architectural decorative elements, such as a horned capital, a massive sandstone jar application and a triglyph show close similarities to the tomb facades at Mada'in Salih.
Probably during the later part of the Nabataean period a 500 m long ditch (12 m wide and up to 6 m deep) was dug at the outer side of the inner city wall. The excavated material was used for filling the restored inner wall which was conceived as a two-shells construction.
During Late Antiquity, the entire northern part of the central site was enclosed by a further wall, delimitating an extended 2 ha complex of public buildings to Southwest which can be dated to the same period (14C).
Building remains of the Islamic period (Occupational period 2)
Between outer and inner walls a large square shaped building with rooms in its southern corners has been identified (extending over 2,500 square meters), which belongs most probably to the early Islamic period. At this time a number of small farmsteads had been erected inside of the inner wall (from the 8th century onwards; 14C). On the opposite side of the wadi crossing the ancient site of Tayma remains of public buildings have been excavated (Area Z). They were occupied during the 9th/10th centuries and subsequently abandoned.
Conservation and restoration
In addition to the expanding modern settlement environmental conditions contribute considerably to erosion and damage of the ancient remains of Tayma. Archaeologists, conservators and architects have jointly developed strategies for the implementation of an integrated conservation concept, including monitoring of existing conservation measures. For consolidation measures of building remains a mortar made of modified loam based exclusively on locally available materials and free of any chemical additives has been developed. Since 2010 a training programme in building conservation for local specialists from Tayma has been launched by the DAI.
Several transects of core drillings have been laid over the sebkha for reconstructing the sequence of deposits. Most significant for the beginning of settlement at the oasis was the existence of an ancient lake as early as the 9th millennium BC (14C) which, from the 5th millennium BC onwards dryed as a result of Late Holocene climatic changes in the region. Pollen remains from the drill-cores indicate the presence of cultivated plants. These remains will be analysed from 2011 onwards in the framework of a project by the Free University of Berlin and the Scientific Department at the Head Office of the DAI studying archaeobotanic remains and the recent vegetation of Tayma, founded by the Fritz Thyssen Foundation.
Hydrological investigations by the University of Applied Science Lübeck (funded by the DFG) illustrated that the water supply of the oasis was based mainly on groundwater drawn from various wells and a spring-lake, the latter identified within the inner wall. Within the walled settlement, traces of an extended agricultural irrigation system with channels have been identified.
Archaeological research at Tayma is based on a cooperative agreement between the Saudi Commission for Tourism and Antiquities (SCTA), Riyadh (represented by its Vice-President Professor Dr Ali al-Ghabban), and the German Archaeological Institute, Oriental Department, Berlin (Professor Dr Ricardo Eichmann). Its inception is due to the initiative and constant support of Professor Said al-Said, King Saud University, Riyadh.
Archaeological fieldwork is carried out jointly by the Oriental Department of the German Archaeological Institute in Berlin (Director Professor Dr Ricardo Eichmann, Field Director Dr Arnulf Hausleiter [DFG], head of documentation (Mr) Dr Andrea Intilia [DFG]) and head of digital technologies Dr Sebastiano Lora [DFG]). Specific research issues are studied by several attached projects. The Museum of Archaeology and Ethnography in Tayma as part of the SCTA is the physical base of the project (Director: Mohammed al-Najem).

Manatee County officials announced Tuesday, June 23 that they are in negotiations with a natural-gas pipeline company, Port Dolphin LLC, to extract sand from a controversial pipeline route before the pipe is placed on the bottom of the Gulf.
In a press release issued late Tuesday, the county announced it will work with the town of Longboat Key and the Department of Environmental Protection to extract coveted white sand from a revised pipeline two miles north of Anna Maria Island.
But Town Manager Bruce St. Denis said he was not made aware of the negotiations going on with the county, Port Dolphin and the state.
St. Denis declined to comment until he heard more about the negotiations.
Charlie Hunsicker, Manatee County's director of conservation lands management, told The Longboat Observer that the county and the town could commence sand extraction along the pipeline route by 2011 and that placement of the sand could be put on Anna Maria and Longboat Key beaches three years ahead of both the town and the county's beach-renourishment schedules.
Hunsicker said DEP is willing to speed up the lengthy permitting and state-funding processes for beach-renourishment projects in order to acquire the sand.
Port Dolphin, Hunsicker said, is expected to share in the cost for studies, permits and construction of the renourishment project.
"It's not intended to be a surprise for Longboat officials," Hunsicker said about the announcement. "It's intended as a proposal for a potential solution that would protect our beach-quality sand while bringing coveted natural gas to the area."
Hunsicker aims to present a formal agreement to the Manatee County Board of County Commissioners Tuesday, July 28.

Dr. Paul Pearsall
Dr. Paul Pearsall, who passed away in 2007, was a licensed clinical and educational psychologist. His teachings challenge the usual "inspirational self-help" approaches which have become popular. Dr. Pearsall received the prestigious Scripps Medical Center Trail Blazer in Medicine Award for his clinical and research work in health and wellness. He studied and did clinical work on the relationship between humor and health.
Dr. Pearsall lived and worked in Hawaii. He was familiar with the Hawaiian language, cultural concepts, and hula. Often with a dancer or several dancers and with live or recorded music, he combined the latest findings from psychology and medicine with ancient Hawaiian principles of loving, working and living.

Neuropsychologist and cancer survivor Dr. Paul Pearsall presented a critique of self-help and self-empowerment movements, which he believes do more harm than good.

Positive Psychology
"Healing is not getting better, it's making yourself whole," said Dr. Paul Pearsall (paulpearsall.com), an educational psychologist and author, who was the main guest on Wednesday's program. As an advocate for the new field of "positive psychology," Pearsall believes that people can thrive through the strength they gain experiencing suffering and adversity. He feels the platitude-filledself help movement is detrimental to people's growth, and that there is a kind of "health terrorism," that tells people who are ill, that they must have a positive attitude if they want to get better. Through his research, Pearsall has concluded that such self-oriented techniques don't work for many people. Prayer can have a positive effect, he said, if it is directed to a higher power to work its will, rather than self-specific. Interestingly, he found in some situations actually "learning to give up" can be helpful, instead of wasting energy in a useless battle. Pearsall, who lives and works ... More »Host: George Noory
