Using food stamps to buy items like soda in South Carolina could become a thing of the past if an effort by some state officials is successful.
Leaders with the Department of Health and Environmental Control and the Department of Social Services think it's possible they could get soda taken off of that list here if they start off with a small test population.
State officials want to make it clear - they aren't proposing a "ban" on soda. They don't have a problem with vending machines where you can choose to drink whatever you like - and the money people are spending hasn't been given to you by the government.
DHEC Director Catherine Templeton said the state needs a change, with more than 1.5 million people in South Carolina considered obese, which is about one third of the state's population. She's aiming for change starting with people who use food stamps.
"We're not trying to prevent people from exercising their free choice, that's fine," Templeton said. "But I don't think its appropriate for the federal government to spend $2 billion a year on sugar-added drinks than have to pay the hundreds of billions of health costs that are caused by the obesity epidemic."
Changing the requirements of items eligible for food stamps - soda in particular - has been tried by many states in the past and failed.
An article on the U.S. Department of Agriculture's website said it is hard to rule out individual food items in people's diets stating, "Foods contain many components that can affect health, and diets contain many foods. As a result, it is challenging to determine whether - and the point at which - the presence or absence of desirable nutrients outweighs the presence of nutrients to be avoided in ruling a food 'in' or 'out.'"
But Templeton said when it comes to soda, it's a no brainer. And she thinks South Carolina could serve as the perfect testing grounds for the country using Bamberg, Fairfield and Lee counties for initial trial runs.
"It seems very intuitive that we should not be paying for empty calories, if we can show them on a small scale, then possibility they'll allow us to do a waiver on a large scale, maybe even change the law," Templeton said.
Some agree with the idea while others think it's pointless to only restrict soda.
But DHEC said they'd like to ban using food stamps to buy all "empty calorie foods" if the USDA would approve it.
There are already some items that cannot be bought with food stamps including alcohol and tobacco products, nonfood items like pet or cleaning products, vitamins and medicines and hot foods.

Northeast Georgia Medical Center's Lactation Center is designed to ensure breastfeeding mothers have all the support they need, especially after coming home from the hospital. Our lactation consultants visit with all breastfeeding mothers in the hospital after their deliveries and offer them the opportunity for a follow-up visit during their first week home or as desired or needed.
The Lactation Center also sells a line of maternity/nursing clothes that can be worn during pregnancy and then are specially designed to assist with nursing after delivery.
Supplies & Resources
In addition to breastfeeding consultations, the Lactation Center provides a place for mothers to purchase breastfeeding supplies such as breast pumps, nursing bras, stools, pillows and collection and storage bags. Breastfeeding mothers also have the option to rent breast pumps as well as infant scales. With each breast pump sale or rental, our lactation consultants provide individual instruction to ensure mothers are able to use it correctly.
The Lactation Center even offers a Gift Registry so expecting mothers can register for the nursing supplies they will need after delivery.
The Lactation Center is located in the Essentially for Women building at 825-A Jesse Jewell Parkway, in front of the Medical Center's Main Campus. For more information, call 770-219-7574.

Super 8 to be Red Roof Inn
MALONE — An estimated $2 million project will convert the Super 8 Motel into a Red Roof Inn and Suites and add 18 rooms.
Super 8 is closing on April 24, and the site will be operating as a Red Roof Inn by April 25, said owner John Parent.
The Finney Boulevard property will go from 44 rooms to 62, with the new suites built as a tower with an elevator.
Between two and five new employees will likely be hired in the Housekeeping Department as the new rooms come online, Parent said.
"This is absolutely wonderful," said Hugh Hill, executive director of the Greater Malone Chamber of Commerce, of which Super 8 is a member.
"Red Roof Inn is well known by both American and Canadian travelers, and I congratulate John Parent," he said.
"The Super 8 did well, but I expect it will do even better because Red Roof Inn is a name travelers recognize and know they will have a good price and clean rooms."
Renovation of the existing 44 guest rooms will start in the spring, Parent said from his home in Central Florida.
"The contractor will divide the motel into quadrants and finish the rooms in the first quadrant then move on to the second quadrant, the third and the fourth with as little disruption to the guests as possible," he said.
"That's why we're doing it in the shoulder (non-peak) season," Parent said. "Converting the 44 will take 12 weeks," and the tower addition will take six months to build.
He's planning for the grand opening of the Red Roof Inn and Suites in the fall of 2014.
Parent's Super 8 franchise agreement with Wyndham Hotel Group is expiring. He said he switched to Red Roof Inn once he learned that Wyndham had sold another of its franchises, for a Microtel Hotel, that would be competition for him less than 100 feet away.
Parent said Red Roof Inn has a strong presence throughout New York.
Its policy of improving all of its flagship properties before asking franchisees to upgrade is more helpful for individual owners financing improvements, he said.
"We are excited to start our relationship with Red Roof Inn, which has a one-brand focus," he said.
He retained the architectural firm Silvestri Associates of Buffalo for the design.
"Years in the planning, it is our hope to make this as seamless a transition as possible," Parent said, "and we will continue to give the traveling public an enjoyable stay in our property."
Hill, who is also a trustee on the Malone Village Board, said the project adds lodging, which is sorely needed in Franklin County.
He said Red Roof Inn might be eligible to participate in a program under development that may offer tax incentives to businesses that open or expand in the village.

How to Fix Locksets & Doorknobs to ensure security
- Many lockset problems can be corrected before they become so serious that the lockset does not work. Often, a malfunctioning latch assembly or lock mechanism causes the problem. An improperly functioning latch may be the result of a poorly fitting door. The lock mechanism may not work simply because the lock is dirty or dry and needs to be lubricated with graphite (do not use any type of oil).
- For serious lock problems, it is usually best to call a locksmith or to replace the lock entirely. If the problems require professional help, keep in mind that removing the lock and taking it to a locksmith is far less expensive than having the locksmith come to you
- If a door latch does not operate smoothly, the latch bolt on the door may not be lined up properly with the strike plate on the doorjamb. Repairs range from making minor latch adjustments to repositioning the door
- If the latch does not catch, close the door slowly to watch how the latch bolt meets the strike plate. The bolt may be positioned above, below, or to one side of the strike plate. (Scars on the strike plate will show where it is misaligned.) It is also possible the door has shrunk and the latch no longer reaches the strike plate. Once you have figured out the problem, try one of the methods shown here.
- On mortise locksets (the type that fit into a large slot in the edge of the door), doorknobs may become loose over time. To tighten them, loosen the setscrew on the knob's shank. Hold the knob on the other side of the door, and turn the loose knob clockwise until it fits snugly. Then tighten the screw until you feel it resting against the flat side of the spindle. The knob should turn freely. If this does not help, remove the knob and check the spindle; if the spindle is worn, it must be replaced. If the whole lockset is worn, it is best to replace it entirely
- For less than a 1/8-inch misalignment of the latch bolt and strike plate, file the inside edges of the plate to enlarge the opening.
- If the latch does not reach the strike plate, shim out the plate, or add another strike plate. If the latch still will not reach, shim out the door's hinges. Replace the door with a wider one as a last resort.
- For more than a 1/8-inch misalignment, remove the strike plate and extend the mortise higher or lower as necessary. Replace the plate, fill the gap at the top or bottom with wood putty, and refinish
How to Change a Door Lock?
Before moving into a new house, the first thing you should do is change the door locks for all exterior doors. With a little practice and experience you will be able to change locks quickly with little to no problems. Feel safe and secure in your new home knowing you hold the only keys to the doors
- Look on the door latch to determine the brand of lock. Purchase the same brand of lock to keep from making any adjustments to the door
- Take the measurement of your door's backset. Measure from the latch of the door to the center of the door knob. Standard measurements are 2 3/8 inch to 2 3/4 inch
- Remove the screws from the old door lock. Pull each half of the lock out of the door after the screws are removed
- Remove the screws from the edge of the door. Remove the old lock
- Insert the new lock. Insert the screws into the edge of the door and secure tightly
- Put the front and back of the lock back together inside the door. Reinsert the screws and secure them tightly
Tips & Warnings:
- If the internal lock pieces are the same brand and size, you do not have to replace them
- When replacing the entire lock, glue wooden golf tees into the screw holes on the edge of the door. Snap off the top of the tees and insert the new screws

The students at J.L. Buford Intermediate Center learned the importance of giving this holiday season after participating in a school wide canned food drive.
April Hertenstein, the school social worker, organized the food drive and helped coordinate with the teachers and their students.
"We participate in it every year because what comes out of it impacts so many kids," Hertenstein said. "The parents are happy to see the kids given the opportunity to participate because it's something every kid can do."
Hertenstein said the children are learning how to help their community, which is an especially important lesson to teach during the holidays. All of the food collected will stay in Jefferson County and goes to benefit the Jefferson County Ministerial Alliance Christmas Food Basket program.
"They love it, the kids love it," she said. "They know it's for something good. It's brings the holiday spirit for them."
Chris Mount is the fifth grade teacher whose class won the food drive this year. It is also his first year and he said now the precedent has been set.
"I wanted them to know what it was like to give instead of receive," Mount said. "It was like a community service project. I wanted to constantly remind them it's not about winning, it's about helping out."
Mount said next year, his class will have to up the ante. The winning class already receives a pizza party, but Mount threw in desserts and drinks as well if his class won, which it did.
The class collected approximately 322 cans. Jordan Morrison, one of the children, said he enjoyed participating in the food drive and he is really excited about being in the winning class.
"The best part was that we get to donate all the cans for the needy," Morrison said.
His classmate, Chloe Sinks also said she was excited about participating in the food drive.
"I like that it is for a good cause," Sinks said.
Students in the winning fifth grade class include: Mariah Berner, McKinley Brooks, CorNaja Crosby, Mackenzie Culver, Shelter Cummings, Brendan Estes-Payne, Cody Estes, Trenton Goosby, Taylor Halasinski-Farr, Micah Howard, Parker Jennings, Amileia Ladd, Kennedy Laskowski, Abigail Meritt, Jordan Morrison, Savannah Setzekorn, Chloe Sinks, Corey Smith, Adrienne Stuckey, Danielle Sullivan, TyJanai Trimble, Elijah Whitfield and Kashius Williams.

Oldbury entrepreneur wins award for innovation
5:34pm Tuesday 20th November 2012 in News
AN OLDBURY entrepreneur has scooped an award for innovation after developing a revolutionary cyber security system.
Nithin Thomas beat off competition from 800 youngsters to make it through to the final of the Shell LiveWIRE Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award.
Although he missed out on the main title, the judges were so impressed with the 29-year-old's firm SQR Systems, which has developed software to thwart hackers, they selected him to receive the LiveWIRE 2012 Innovation Award.
Nithin received the honour at a ceremony at Millbank Tower, London, last Wednesday from Shell UK chairman Graham van't Hoff.
Nithin set up his business two years ago having developed the technology as part of his PhD in engineering at the University of Bristol under the supervision of professor Dave Bull.
The system he developed also solves difficulties with delivering high quality video content through low bandwidth and means emergency response units can access CCTV footage on a tablet device or smartphone, even in regions with low signal strength.

Query taking >150 seconds to execute ... Need some optimization help
I suspect the problem is that I'm using the wrong type of joins. Essentially the only data I actually want returned, is from the reco table with only 2 pieces of data from the user table and 1 piece from the user status table.
The rest of the joins and conditions are for the purpose of either filters or inclusions. eg. Include recommendations from user 144, or where a users status id is 4, but then there's 'requirements' like the reco must be active, the user who posted the reco must be active.
Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated, I need to bring this execution time down to under 10 seconds. :|

I would double check that you have all your indexes in place. Every column that's part of a join. Every column that's part of a "where" clause. Every column that you group by. Every column that you order by. Also, ordering by a math formula that's calculated on the fly for each row can't be good. I'd suggest saving the pre-calculated value in its own indexed column."First make it work. Then make it better."

Today's item is a first edition of a baseball book from 1950, Behold, Thy Brother by Murrell Edmunds.
Tim Morris of the University of Texas at Arlington describes Behold, Thy Brother this way: "A speculative fiction: what if, late in the 1945 season, a struggling major league ball club had signed a black pitcher--and then thrown him into action for the first time in the pennant-deciding game?...A strange fiction: on the one hand it's an art novella by a highbrow novelist; on the other hand, it's basically a kids' story, and is sometimes shelved in the juvenile section of libraries. Reflects the odd situation of "serious" adult baseball fiction around the year 1950; at the time, there were few models for novelists. In its action and theme, it's a taut, well-written story. Of course by 1950 the speculative aspect of the fiction had somewhat lost its edge . . ."
Morris makes an excellent point -- had the book come out in 1945 or 1946, it would have been much more poignant than it was upon its arrival three years after Jackie Robinson debuted with the Dodgers.
Writing in Philological Quarterly, Michael P. Bibler notes, "...none of Edmunds's books sold well or has ever been reprinted or anthologized; and his name is virtually nonexistent in the pages of literary history and criticism."
Still, it would be interesting to read.

Norwegian Fjords, Spitzbergen, Iceland, Faroe Islands, Lerwick Shetland Islands. 9 July 2007 to 28 July 2007 Introduction Some two years ago we had the pleasure of traveling on one of Peter Deilmann's river ships, the M.V. Mozart. This was a nine day cruise between Passau in Germany along the Danube as far as Budapest and back to Passau. The Mozart was beautiful, and we would happily sail with her again. When we were considering another ocean cruise, we wondered if Peter Deilmann had any ocean going ships and so we discovered the "Deutschland". We made our initial inquiries regarding a booking via the internet. We contacted Peter Deilmann UK, but they referred us to the Deilmann Office in the USA. They offered us a Category E twin cabin, midships on deck 4, quoted in US dollars, but inclusive of the special incentives for US guests. We then proceeded with the booking through our American Express Platinum travel service in Sydney. We later learned that Deilmann Cruises has appointed "Classic Voyages" as agent in Sydney, Australia; they subsequently issued the tickets. Peter Deilmann Cruises is a German, family owned company and is better known for its fleet of five-star river boats. The Deutschland is well known in Germany in their television broadcasts of their version of "The Love Boat" or " Das Traumschiff. The Deutschland was the dream of the late Peter Deilmann, the founder of the line that bears his name. He had a vision of a cruise ship in the style and tradition of Germany's finest luxury hotels. The ship was built in a German shipyard and accommodates a maximum of 520 guests. She proudly flies the German flag. The ship's company is mainly German. Waiting staff also mainly German or Austrian with a fair number from east European countries. Much of the behind-the-scene work is done by Filipinos. More than a seagoing grand hotel, this ship is almost like a beautiful German home at sea. The ship is decorated in shades of pure white and green and gold highlights, paneled wood, beveled and etched glass mirrors and brass everywhere. There are not many ships where attention to quality in decor matches that of the Deutschland. Everything on board is of the best quality. Both inside and outside there is art and sculpture . The ship has many paintings and sculptures from the Deilmann family's collection: Meissen figurines, busts of German kings, poets and philosophers. We liked the large and nostalgic photographs throughout the ship of former famous German film actors; old scenes of German cities and ocean liners of days bygone.
Do not be mistaken. the Deutschland is a German ship, but it is also very special and unique! So different from the mass market ships of other cruise lines The majority of its passengers are from Germany. Of the 500 or so passengers, only about 20 were from English speaking countries, (USA, Ireland, UK and Australia) with a sprinkling of other Europeans. An informal gathering for English speaking guests was arranged early in the cruise to get to know one and another. The primary language is German. The menus and daily activity sheet were in English and news sheets from U.S.A. and U.K. were delivered to the cabin each morning. All announcements were repeated in English. There are English language television channels available, depending on the ship's location, as well as English spoken films in the theatre. At functions and entertainment there was a translation in English or a translator available. Lectures were repeated in English for non German speakers, even though sometimes only 6 people were present. The waiting staff and other personnel all spoke English. Peter Deilmann arranged special English guided excursions for non German passengers in each port of call, which incidentally were complementary. Of special interest to some of the non German passengers is the provision of a special dialysis ward in the hospital onboard Deutschland. This enabled some English speaking passengers to have their first cruise and a holiday away from home. Travel We flew from Melbourne Australia by way of Dubai to Hamburg. We had booked overnight accommodation at the Maritim Reichshof in Hamburg. The hotel is conveniently located opposite the main railway station and is a pick-up point for passengers leaving on the Deutschland. Deilmann offers transfer from Hamburg to the ship . We arranged for round trip transfers from Hamburg Maritim to the ship. Transfer from our hotel was effortless, our suitcases were collected from our room and placed with other Deutschland
That same evening we had the captain's welcome and cocktails in the Kaisersaal. Each guest was personally introduced to the captain, shook hands and had the obligatory photo taken. Dress for the evening was formal, with the majority of the gentlemen in tuxedo or black tie. The ladies were well dressed and refined with not a sign of bling bling anywhere. Champagne flowed generously. Afterwards, on stage, the captain presented and introduced his officers and raised his glass to officers and passengers and wished all: "zum Wohl auf eine schoene Reise". The remainder of the evening was given over to a sample of the performers, dancers, vocalists, musicians, etc. who were to entertain us during the cruise . Other Guests and German special events. The ship never felt crowded, although this cruise may not have been fully booked, as well the Deutschland has a large number of single cabins. There were never any queues anywhere, deck chairs and blankets were always in good supply; and deck chairs were not being 'reserved' by other passengers. Although the majority of passengers were German, there was no evidence of a separation between German and non-German speaking passengers. There was a mix of age groups, with late fifties , sixties making up the bulk of passengers. There were only a handful of children on board. Many German passengers approached us and wanted to talk to us in English. At dinner in the restaurant we had an English speaking table of 9 guests, but at all other times we shared a table with any other guests. There were some typical German favorites. German delicacies and Vienna sausages with mustards etc. were available at the deck off "Zum alten Fritz" all day long. Then we learned about "Fruehschoppen". We thought it had something to do with 'shopping' and did not take much notice of the event. But it is something very German/Austrian. It means morning/lunchtime drinking. It comes from a German tradition that after Sunday church the men would head to the bars to drink schnapps and the women went home to make a big lunch. It is a very jolly affair on board of the Deutschland, with free beer, food, music. etc.
Dining Dining on board Deutschland is fantastic. We dined mostly in the "Berlin" restaurant. The Berlin is midship, seats about 300 in two sittings at 6 p.m. and 8.30 p.m. Its decor is dominated by a central stained glass circular skylight surrounded by ionic columns. The seats are comfortable with plenty of room between the tables. Service in the Berlin is very efficient, quick and friendly. There was not one meal that was not excellent. Menus change daily and are varied and include a vegetarian section. There are a large number of menu items, with a variety of small courses. Dinner usually begins with a cold appetizer, followed by soup, a fish course, hot appetizer, sherbet, main course and dessert. The Berlin Restaurant also offers a self-service salad and cheese bars. A choice of teas and coffees is available, with bonbons to finish. All courses are beautifully presented and served with style and panache. The waiting staff are superbly trained and we have not been able to fault any of them. The service everywhere on board is exemplary, friendly and attentive, but never servile. Almost all staff speak English and we never had any problem communicating with them. Open seating breakfast and lunch are also served in the Berlin, as well as at the Lido Gourmet indoor buffet and the Lido Outdoor Grill. The number and variety of dishes offered at the buffets is exceptional and included a good sample of German delicacies. The tables are already set up with tablecloths and silverware, you take your food to your table - although the serving staff were usually there, ready to take it for you. Coffee, tea and drink orders were taken at the table.
The Deutschland has a further dining venue, the "Four Seasons" (die Vierjahrezeiten) offers an a la carte menu daily by reservation only, but at no additional cost. Here, you can dine on classic French cuisine with your own invited guests. The high standard of cuisine is endorsed by its membership of "Chaine des Rotisseurs." The Four Seasons restaurant is very elegant, and the presentation of the dishes is even better than in the Berlin.
During this cruise we had a couple of pool-side buffets: good German food and free beer. Bouillon is served each morning at 11 a.m. at the Lido bar, but our friendly deck steward brought it to us to our favorite spot on deck! Afternoon tea is available in the Lido Gourmet, with a choice of blends of tea and of course a selection of cakes and sandwiches. A formal afternoon is served in the Lido Terrasse, the lovely forward facing lounge. Here tea is served in beautiful tea service with cakes, sandwiches and sweets. Light classical music accompanies this afternoon tea. A night snack is served at about 11 p.m. in the Zum alten Fritz and the Lili Marleen Bar. For the early risers a continental breakfast or just tea or coffee is served in the Lido Terrasse from 7 a.m. Cabin service is available 24 hours a day.
Public Rooms All the way forward on deck 6 is the beautiful Kaisersaal, probably one of the most elegant public rooms on any ship afloat. It reminds you of a small opera house with a huge chandelier and beautifully painted ceilings. There is a sweeping spiral staircase to the wrap-around balcony, where pieces of art decorate the walls. The seating is in comfortable armchairs; there is a good size stage and bar service is available. On the same deck you will find the Salon Lili Marleen. This is a very nice cocktail lounge with dance floor and a full bar service is provided. It has comfortable easy chairs and is an intimate meeting place. A piano or combo entertains while you relax in this comfortable lounge.
Aft on deck 7 is the "Zum alten Fritz", a kind of German pub with lots of wood and brass. And smoke! Smoking is still allowed on the Deutschland in most public rooms and restaurants in set-aside areas. We thought that this was going to be a problem, but we were never bothered because of smoking. A pianist plays at night and one wall opens up to the adjacent deck and terrace. Order your draft beer or Jaegermeister here and enjoy German meat balls or sausages.
On our cruise to the polar circle we had some very cold days, and there is no better place to be than right way up top forward in the Lido Terrace, where it is quiet and cozy, to read or play any of the dozens of games available. We also spent some of these cold days in the Adlon library, a very cosy (non smoking) room with open fireplace. There are shelves with English and German books, although the English books are mainly classics. Here are also the ship's internet stations.
There are three shops on board, the photographer, H. Stern the Brazilian jeweler, and the main shop selling a variety of men's and women's clothing, perfumes etc. as well as a hairdresser. The Deutschland has a small gymnasium with views of the sea, and with a good range of equipment. Experienced fitness coaches are available and offer keep-fit programs. There is a saltwater pool and indoor fresh water pool as part of the newly designed Wellness Spa, complete with Rasul, Kraxen-Oven and thermo-loungers. It is reminiscent of a Roman bath, the freshwater pool is surrounded by an oriental steam bath. On deck 6 there is a Finnish sauna and a steam bath with deck chairs on the open deck. The ship's cinema or Kino, seats about 80 passengers and features German and English movies daily. It is also used for small group lectures and religious services. Entertainment The Kaisersaal is the main venue for entertainment. Much of the evening entertainment is directed to German tastes, but the ship made every effort to accommodate English speakers. Entertainment can perhaps be described as low-key, although the entertainers were refreshingly different from the usual entertainment offered on cruise ships. This cruise included some known German vocalists, a celebrated pianist and a harpist. During an overnight stay in Iceland, local musicians took the stage. At other times there was dancing to Chris Luca and his orchestra. Other musical
As a variation on the crossing of the equator ceremony, on this cruise the crossing of the polar circle was the occasion to initiate first-timers. It was a jolly affair with music, drinks etc. We have our certificate to prove our crossing, but we did not take part in the 'ceremonies'. There are no highly organized daily programs or large scale entertainment on the Deutschland. No casino, no game shows, or flamboyant entertainment. There is art everywhere, but it is not for sale at shipboard 'art' auctions.
Dress Code The Deutschland is quite a conventional and proper ship, which suggests correct behavior and observance of etiquette. There were three formal evenings - the captain' s welcome and captain's farewell and a Twenties Gala Ball. On other evenings, jacket and tie were the suggested dress code. There were very few casual nights during our cruise. The passengers tend towards elegant and fashionable, but certainly not pretentious.
Our cabin Our cabin was located midship on deck 4, Steuermanns Deck in category E Classic Twin Outside. The ship may well have the most beautiful cabins afloat. All accommodation on the Deutschland is distinctive with attention to detail. Our cabin had twin beds with very comfortable mattresses. The cabin was remarkably spacious with a good amount of storage space in a three door wardrobe with hanging bars and shelves, bed-side tables, dressing table and comfortable chairs and a half-round table under the window. The decor of the cabin is consistent with the overall elegance of the ship, crafted burled wood, gilded mirrors, paintings on the wall. Although blankets are available on request, the beds are made up with white European style duvets and pillows. Beds are turned down nightly. The marble bathroom with hand basin and shower was comfortable and elegant with gleaming brass fixtures. Standard amenities include air-conditioning , TV and radio, a safe, fridge and mini-bar, telephone, hair dryer, toiletries, bath robes and slippers. In the wardrobe we also found a clothes brush, shoe horn and an umbrella; as well as a complementary Deutschland duffel bag. Only the owner's suite and the honeymoon suit have a small balcony.
Excursions Our cruise had many interesting ports of call, and excursions were available in each place. In addition, there were 'panorama' cruises from the ship and tender excursions. Prior to arriving at a new port, there is an information lecture in German. However, the Cruise Director conducted a similar lecture in English for our group. Port information sheets, maps, local brochures, etc. were provided for us in English. Our group had private excursions, usually in a small bus with an English speaking guide. All excursions were well organized, always on time with good guides and interesting places to visit. The highlights of this cruise was cruising the beautiful fjords of Norway and cruising among the ice and the shore excursions by tender in Spitzbergen. Captain Andreas Jungblut is an exceptionally skilled ship's officer and he took us to places the average cruise ship would not be able to go. We have the utmost respect for his skills and his ability to relate to his passengers.
Disembarkation We disembarked again in Hamburg. We had put our luggage outside our cabin on the night before and collected it in the arrival hall. Staff assisted us in taking our bags to the bus which took us back to our hotel in Hamburg. On leaving the ship we were fare-welled by the captain and staff. A wonderful cruise had come to an end. We both wished that we could have stayed aboard another week to enjoy the German hospitality and the traditional atmosphere of the ship. It has been a very interesting and enjoyable experience.
Summary Having cruised on British cruise ships, this ship is more grandiose than any ship dedicated to the British market. This ship is class, about the best there is; we just loved the Deutschland. The whole ship has a refined atmosphere which is missing on so many other ships today. The Deutschland is ideal for passengers who prefer smaller more intimate ships. Forget about modern day cruises, traveling on Deutschland is completely different; it is going back in time to the days when life was less stressful. If you enjoy the finer things in life, Deutschland could be the very ship for you. The Deutschland is special. Auf Wiedersehen !

---- — The state commissioner of education has recommended the closing of the Gloucester Community Arts Charter School at the end of the spring term.
Dated last Friday, the written recommendation by state Board of Elementary and Secondary Education Commissioner Mitchell Chester to revoke the charter of the troubled and controversial experiment in state-funded alternative education will be an agenda item for the Board of Education's meeting next Tuesday.
Chester's decision to advocate the closing of the charter school, which opened in September 2010 on a campus adapted from a doctors' office in Blackburn Industrial Park, is sure to spark heated debate within the city where opponents, including the core of the School Committee, backed a lawsuit challenging the legality of the original charter.
Though charter schools are generally granted a five-year start-up period, the possibility of the state board revoking the school's charter after its third year became very real at a Nov. 27 meeting, when Chester told the state and charter boards that "revocation (of the school's charter) is very clearly in (the) realm of possibilities."
The process of revoking the school's charter begins with the commissioner giving a formal recommendation to the board, being the Dec. 7 revocation recommendation. Next charter school officials will present their case before the state board at the Dec. 18 meeting. Then the state board will vote on whether or not to revoke the charter. The charter board can go on to appeal that decision.
The charter board had met with the state Board of Education last Thursday, reportedly to discuss the charter's place as an agenda item at the Dec. 18 meeting. At a Gloucester Community Arts Board of Trustees meeting last Wednesday night, the trustees discussed re-chartering as a Horace Mann charter school — a state-funded innovative school that would be part of the public school district, but would still run rather independently — but decided to hold off on sharing the re-chartering idea with the state board.
The school, which serves approximately 130 kindergartners through eighth-graders, received a poor three-year review from the state in October.
Tony Blackman, the charter's original executive director, left his position this year, purportedly as an cost-cutting measure, though he remains on the school's board of trustees.
The review found numerous issues at the charter school, including problems with fiscal and academic performance and board oversight.
"School administrators at the (school) have not demonstrated an ability to ensure an orderly environment or execute a plan to remedy poor academic performance," Chester wrote in a lengthy memo to the state Board of Elementary and Secondary Education.
"For the past three years, the school's high rates of student attrition, low enrollment and staff turnover indicate an overall lack of organizational and financial viability. Additionally," the commissioner wrote, "since opening its doors on Sept. 23, 2010, (Gloucester Community Arts Charter School) has failed to adhere to the terms of its charter by providing the academic program as promised in the school's mission and vision.
"I have concluded that GCACS is no longer a viable organization," Chester wrote.

Illum is Version 2.0 of the Lytro Camera You Can Refocus After Shooting, Video Might Be Next
Lytro introduced their light-field camera a little over 2 years ago, and if you haven't heard of it, the technology inside lets you change the focus point of your images after you've already taken the shot. Part hardware and part software, the tech has been steadily improving (with other companies like Toshiba getting in on the action). The company has now introduced a brand new version called Illum that is capable of much higher quality than the previous camera, and it also takes the shape of a more traditional DSLR/mirrorless camera for better usability. Besides the possibilities with still images, we've also got word that they are working on using the technology for video capture as well. More »
Meet KaleidoCamera, a Plenoptic Add-On that Brings Amazing New Functionality to Your DSLR
Modern imaging technology never ceases to amaze me. In the past, we've talked about light field cameras, such as the Lytro, which allow the user to refocus the image in post. We've also talked about new sensor technologies that use color diffraction instead of traditional filtration. Now, a group from Saarland University in Saarbrücken, Germany have developed a camera add-on that sits between the lens and the sensor that brings an array of impressive plenoptic features to any DSLR camera. What features. you might be asking? Light field refocusing, HDR imaging, and light polarization without filters, just to name a few. Interested? Read on for the details: More »
Panasonic's Revolutionary New 'Micro Color Splitter' Sensor Filter Doubles Light Sensitivity
The most common way we get color images with digital cameras is with a Bayer pattern CMOS sensor, but there are plenty of variations on that design being used today. The upcoming Aaton Penelope Delta uses a Bayer pattern over a Dalsa CCD, for example, while the RED EPIC-M Monochrome uses the MX CMOS sensor foregoing color filtration entirely. By their very nature, though, color filters of any kind cut down the amount of light transmitted to the sensor. That's why Panasonic is developing a brand new type of color filter that will employ diffraction to split up the color spectrum, instead of filtration, and thus will be capable of doubling the light sensitivity of the sensor.

Toshiba 'Out-Lytros' Lytro, Designing a Camera Sensor Capable of Video Refocusing
Lytro is a company implementing a novel and fascinating idea — obvious enough for anyone to appreciate it's wow-factor, but original enough that visual creatives can be impressed with its technology — you can set your focal distance after taking your shots. Now, you can also even shift your perspective a bit, another near-magical innovation for digital photography. That said, right now Lytro cameras have several major limitations: they are stand-alone cameras, which may be inconvenient for shooters used to novelty photography on a tiny multi-use device — plus, there isn't great direct mobile integration with social media. Interestingly, Toshiba has just announced that it's developing its own lightfield-type sensor, specifically for tablet and smartphone applications — and, it's expected to allow focus shift for your mobile video as well.

Want Adjustable Depth of Field in Post? You Don't Need Lytro, Now You Can Use a DSLR
Light field cameras could be the next big thing in photography and/or video, but as of right now, there is only one company selling anything that can achieve the affect: Lytro. If you have been wondering if this effect could be recreated with the DSLR you already own, the answer, as it turns out, is yes. The Chaos Collective, a group of internet futurists, has created a way to achieve the exact same effect as the Lytro camera with any DSLR, and has even created a way to embed the adjustable photos online.

Mystical Lytro Light Field Camera Now Allows for Equally Magical Perspective Shift, Plus Living Filters
Lytro cameras already allow us to do something that, while (apparently) scientifically possible, seems to invoke more Gandalf than optical physics — which is to manipulate focus, dynamically and after the fact. By sampling the whole 'light field' within the field of view, they are truly fascinating iterations of the tools we use daily. This has some pretty interesting implications for the future of photography, not to mention videography — but Lytro isn't stopping there. In fact, you can not only interactively shift your focal point, as you could before – but you can now, to an extent, alter the actual perspective of your shot as well, in real time — not to mention apply filters which also react in line with the company's "living picture" aesthetic. For a demo video and some interactive examples, read on. More »
That Crazy 4D Camera Becomes a $399 Reality as RED Works on a Professional Motion Version
Remember that crazy 4D camera that lets you refocus after the fact? After the initial teaser, the Lytro has now gone official, with a $399 list price ($499 model also on the way) and "early 2012″ availability. A hands-on demo of the oddly-shaped consumer camera is after the jump, but as I asked in the original post, are there motion and professional applications of this technology? Well, turns out there are, and RED just dropped a hint that they've already got a prototype. More »
In Case You Missed the Crazy Future Camera That's Refocusable in Post, Here It Is
Years ago a reader emailed me about plenoptic cameras, also known as light-field cameras, which allow an image to be refocused after the picture is taken. Sometimes referred to as a 4D camera, this crazy technology is now headed to a consumer camera from new manufacturer Lytro. News of this development, which utilizes technology first seen in a 2005 Stanford research paper, hit the internet last week, with Lytro now taking reservations for the device. Check out the refocusable images in action, and let me know what you think — game-changer or gimmick? More »

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (12/13/13) - The Honors College at WKU and WBKO-TV hosted a reception on Dec. 10 to honor the 2013-2014 Scholar of the Week recipients.
The Scholar of the Week program recognizes young scholars in southcentral Kentucky and the WBKO viewing area for their academic and extracurricular activities. The Honors College at WKU has been partnering with WBKO since 2010 on the Scholar of the Week Program.
Out of more than 300 applicants, 74 students were chosen as Scholars of the Week for the 2013-2014 academic school year and have their name, high school and accomplishments air on segments on WBKO's "10 PM News" on Tuesdays and "AM Kentucky" on Wednesdays. Each student is invited to a reception to celebrate their achievements, recognize them individually, and reward two Scholar of the Week students with a $1,000 scholarship for WKU.
This year's two scholarship winners are Anne Thomas Belcher, a senior at South Warren High School in Bowling Green, and Angel Semrick, a junior at South Warren High School.
Belcher has a 4.0 GPA and was a 2013 Kentucky Governor's Scholar. She is involved in a variety of extracurricular activities, including school musical productions, choir, dance, Beta Club and the National Honor Society. Belcher hopes to pursue a career in the field of mathematics and business. Upon learning she had won the scholarship drawing, Belcher's initial reaction was surprise.
"I've had a lot of exposure to the Honors College these last few weeks. It's crazy – it's such an honor. WKU is definitely at the top of my list right now," Belcher said.
Semrick aspires to become a kindergarten teacher after pursuing a degree in elementary education. She participates in student council, cross country, FCCLA and the speech team, while maintaining a 4.0 GPA.
"Scholar of the Week has provided me with a lot of opportunities," Semrick said. "It will hopefully help me get into the Governor's Scholar Program. This scholarship will help me pay for my books and college expenses and this process has taught me about the college application process."
Dr. Craig T. Cobane, Executive Director of the Honors College at WKU, believes the Scholar of the Week program provides a wonderful showcase of the quality of our local school systems and it reaffirms the mission of WKU and the Honors College to propel our scholars to even greater academic and professional heights.
"These scholars represent a fantastic group of young adults who are seeking out opportunities to succeed in the classroom, on the field, in the workplace, and in any other settings," Dr. Cobane said. "They deserve to be recognized for their achievements."

Amid all the high-profile Packers players on both sides of the ball so far this season, is there anybody who might be viewed as an unsung, under-the-radar hero up to now? Admittedly challenged by the question posed by PFW, team sources came up with an interesting candidate: Jarrett Bush. A lightning rod for criticism in the past who can be a real liability in coverage, especially on fade patterns, the sixth-year pro has been both a spirited leader on special teams and a clutch big-play performer in his limited action in dime situations. Bush drew rave reviews for a key late sack of Jay Cutler in Week Three and has shown a real flair for blitzing from the slot — a skill we hear defensive coordinator Dom Capers might want to take advantage of by playing more dime defense. But Bush's greatest value has been a nonstop energy that we hear has arguably made him head coach Mike McCarthy's favorite player.

Benefit changes 'to hit disabled'
12:13am Wednesday 17th October 2012 in National News © Press Association 2014
An inquiry headed by Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson has said several 'key' groups will lose out under the Universal Credit
Up to half a million disabled people and their families could be worse off under the new system of Universal Credit once it is fully implemented - with some warning that they might be forced out of their homes as a result of the changes, according to a report.
An inquiry headed by former wheelchair athlete Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson has said several "key" groups will lose out under the Universal Credit, which will start to replace much of the benefits and tax credits system from next year.
The study used research showing that once the changes are fully in place, 100,000 disabled children stand to lose up to £28 a week, 230,000 severely disabled people who do not have another adult to help them could receive between £28 and £58 a week less and up to 116,000 disabled people who work could be at risk of losing around £40 a week.
The report said the impact of the cuts in support for disabled children could be "extremely severe" for families currently receiving the mid rate "care component" of the Disability Living Allowance (DLA), a payment made where a child can be severely disabled but does not need care overnight.
Of those families affected, one in 10 expressed fears that they could no longer afford their own home, while two thirds said they would have to cut back on food, and more than a half said it would lead them into debt. In some of the most severe cases, some families said the changes to support for disabled children could result in their children having to be placed in full-time residential care.
The report said 83% of those eligible for the severe disability premium (SDP), which will be abolished under the changes, reported that a reduction in benefit levels would mean they would have to cut back on food and 80% said they would have to cut the amount they spent on heating.
The changes start to come into force from October next year and current benefit claimants who move on to Universal Credit will not see an immediate reduction in their payments. But they will have their level of benefit frozen, with no increases to take into account rising prices, campaigners said, and they may see their support cut immediately if their household circumstances change.
The report, Holes in the Safety Net: the impact of universal credit on disabled people and their families, had the backing of The Children's Society, Citizens Advice and Disability Rights UK and drew on research from these bodies.
Welfare Reform Minister Lord Freud said "transitional protection" had been put in place to ensure no-one was out of pocket. He told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "So existing levels of support will be maintained in a cash sense for families with disabled children or who are disabled themselves. That will be maintained indefinitely on a cash basis."
He said the reform was necessary to sweep away a "tangled mess of add-ons and premiums" to make the system "simple and understandable".

Lebanon —
A request for a non-traditional tax abatement for Subaru had Lebanon Mayor Huck Lewis asking the city council Monday for a second on a motion to approve it and initially finding none.
The council considered a tax abatement for developer Pro Logis and client Subaru America, who may develop land off Interstate 65 behind Hattie B. Stokes Elementary. Pro Logis has held ownership of the land for 12 years. If Subaru decides to relocate to Lebanon from its current Whitestown facility, it will have a 10-year tax abatement from the city.
But the road to the approved abatement was difficult.
