After months of management turmoil, "The Patch" has a new group running the show.
Last week, a motion to lease the Augusta Municipal Golf Course to Virginia Beach Golf Management failed, 6-3.
But Mayor Pro Tem Joe Bowles requested a special meeting to bring up the issue again, just days before several new Commissioners took office.
This time it passed, 6-2.
"It was something important enough to me to save the taxpayers the $200,000 a year," Bowles says. "We had the opportunity, and I'm not sure the opportunity would be there next year."
District 10 Commissioner Grady Smith missed last week's meeting due to health concerns.
He was there Thursday, and says this is the right move for the golf course by putting those who know the business in charge."You've got inside the golf pro shop, buildings, maintenance and all that," Smith says. "You better have somebody out there who knows about grass and knows how to work what the course is about."
Commissioners Alvin Mason and Bill Lockett voted against the contract. They say they'd like more time to look at the details.
But they're also unhappy with the way Thursday's vote went down.
"This was a done deal. This is why they held a subsequent meeting after we had our last meeting of the year," Lockett says. "They had counted the votes and they knew if they had the gang of six the votes would be there."
Bowles says that's not the case. He defends the request for a special meeting."I got the quorum. There were two votes of my colleagues that I weren't sure which way they going," Bowles says "That's the way it goes sometimes."
But some commissioners are still worried."If you have all the commissioners involved, we come out with a better end result," Lockett says. "But when you only have a few, they have a history of showing it's been nothing but failure."
The lease is for $150,000 over ten years.

|Beautiful Roasted Cherry Tart
The summer is coming to an end...I can feel it in the air! All the beautiful fresh produce that comes from our local farms will soon be gone. My garden has not been as fruitful as usual. I think it may have been the very hot weather we had for several weeks this summer, with no rain. And let's not forget our chipmunk friends. They seemed to really like my tomatoes. So far we relocated seven! I actually had to pick some green tomatoes and put them on my window sill to ripen, just to get a few for myself. It has not been a good summer for tomatoes. I've been trying to get some things made and put away for the winter. This past week I made some Spicy Peach Jam. So yummy! I froze several bags of green beans, one of the things that have been thriving in my garden. I've also been getting quite a few blackberries and red raspberries. More jam and hopefully some pie.
Last week, I found a beautiful bag of cherries at the farm stand. I bought them thinking they would be great to snack on. Then, as I was browsing some of the blogs I follow I came upon Teresa at One Wet Foot. She had posted about roasting cherries. Those cherries were calling to me. They looked so delicious. I knew I had to try them. As it happened, we were having some weekend company and I thought my cherries would make a great tart. I pulled out my fruit tart cookbook. Yes, I have a cookbook just for fruit tarts! I found a Cherry Tart Recipe that called for pitting your cherries and putting them on a baking sheet and baking them for 5 minutes. I chose to roast them as Teresa did. I did not add any of the spices...just the olive oil, maple syrup, some sea salt and cherry brandy. I left mine in the oven for 10 minutes. I didn't want to over cook them. The results were very nice and the tart was a success. My company thought it was delicious and it looked quite pretty.

Mothers, Tigers, Bears, Oh My

Reported by
Barrie Hardymon
Everyone and her mother (get it!?) has sent me the Wall Street Journal op-ed on the so-called "tiger mother." �The term was coined by its author, Amy Chua, and her piece is called "Why Chinese Mothers Are Superior." It's also slightly terrifying to any new or about-to-be mother. Here's a taste:
A lot of people wonder how Chinese parents raise such stereotypically successful kids. They wonder what these parents do to produce so many math whizzes and music prodigies, what it's like inside the family, and whether they could do it too. Well, I can tell them, because I've done it. Here are some things my daughters, Sophia and Louisa, were never allowed to do:
o attend a sleepover
o have a playdate
o be in a school play
o complain about not being in a school play
o watch TV or play computer games
o choose their own extracurricular activities
o get any grade less than an A
o not be the No. 1 student in every subject except gym and drama
o play any instrument other than the piano or violin
o not play the piano or violin.
This is tough stuff. �And it's causing a raging debate on the Internet, and I think probably around dinner tables as well. �I am not well enough equipped to enter the debate at this point — I played viola as a child, but got many, many grades less than an A — but I wanted to draw your attention to this Jezebel post, which, at the very least, gives one a choice of several kinds of mother, animal and otherwise. �But here is what I want to know: why must we keep comparing mothers to animals? �It reinforces this idea that mothers are born, fathers are made. �I am noting that I write this now being only three quarters (seven months) a mother, so maybe I will change my mind entirely in two months ... And start carrying my baby around by the scruff of its neck in my mouth.

Owners take beloved pets to church's service of thanksgiving
4:30pm Tuesday 23rd July 2013 in News By Freya Leng
FOUR-legged friends joined their owners at church for a special pet service.
About 10 dogs, cats, rabbits and even a ferret gathered inside Salwarpe Church, near Droitwich, for an animal-themed service of thanksgiving.
Led by the Rev Doug Chap-lin, of the Droitwich deanery, the service included a blessing of the animals along with special prayers, hymns and Psalms.
The congregation sang specially-selected hymns in-cluding The Butterfly Song and All Things Bright and Beautiful as their loyal pets sat quietly at their feet.
Sylvia Whittaker, who brought along her Cocker Spaniels Charlie and Alfie, said the animal service on the BBC1 programme The Vicar of Dibley was their inspiration for the unusual event which is now in its fourth year.
"The Vicar of Dibley may have inspired us," she said. "Being a rural community you never know what might turn up.
"There's so many things for children going on like clubs and football, we thought we could do something to att-ract children to church.
"The Lord doesn't only bless us, he blesses all our animals – all creatures great and small."
She added she was pleased with the turnout but would have liked to see more young people.
Anja Kristy, aged 10, gave a reading during the service.
The Witton Middle School pupil, who has seven pets including horses, terrapins, a dog and gerbils, said: "It's normally very fun and it still is really. I like it because we get to thank our pets for everything they have done for us." Last year two horses were blessed by the vicar outside the church.

"With great power comes great responsibility" is the iconic mantra of Spider-Man. But when the web-slinging superhero returns for the second season of his animated Disney XD series, he might have to change that to "With great responsibility comes great responsibility."

(The show returns to its Sunday morning slot on Jan. 27 at 11am/10c.)

According to numerous scriptures after your time on the Earth is done meaning death you will not be conscious of anything: Eccl. 9:5
For the living are conscious that will die but the dead are conscious of nothing at all, neither do they anymore have wages, because the remembrance of them has been forgotten.
6. Also their love and their hate and their jealousy have already perished and they have no portion anymore to time indefinite in anything that has to be done under the sun...
As a doctor will tell you that is exactly the condition of dead people.
That's prety clear to me...how bout you?
I personally don't believe in what they believe because that's not what the bible says in the Hebrew. The Hebrew is rather opened by the metaphors of the words it uses to describe the creation days.
These christians are tyring to change the political system in America...they're trying to subvert people into thinking as they do...BY FORCE. Jesus said Chrisitans were to be nuetral and no part of the world because he is no part of the world.
So are they a threat....(sigh) yes.
And they give Chrisitans that do otherwise a bad name and it may cost us all in the end.
You quoted Timothy I think earlier on where it says all scripture is given to us by God. Paul was talking about Jewish scripture, not the letters that he was currently writing to the various Churches. The Church decided 300 years later which letters and Gospels would become part of Scripture.
I have no idea whether you are right or I am right on the topic of homosexuality but I go back to what Horatio was saying. I follow the Golden rule where I can. To deny someone the right to love, to encourage them into loveless heterosexual marriages (which some churches do), to encourage them into the priesthood because they are not attracted to the correct sex is wrong and must cause psychological pain.
Paul says that I am violating creation if I become a minister in the Church. I know plenty of women who make excellent ministers yet Paul says they are turning the creative order on it's head. I am not weaker than a man in any sense other than the physical. I'm afraid I believe that women and men are equal and should be treated as such and have the same opportunities in life.
"Unless you have something a little bigger in your torpedo tubes, I'm not turning around!"
Patterns are important and while there are many different authorities about which are canon books there is agreement on a core of a pattern of agreement of books. Logic (as you know I use in abundance) is deduction and reasoning as well as isolation of patterns.
I understand your reasoning, Janeway.
What I like is that it doesn't begrudge anyone. That is a christian attitude.
I don't know what I'll inherit. I question my own deeds in the past as a christian and wonder if the consequences will bear out to be unfavorable. But I know one thing, no matter what the judgment is...I'll accept it. When I got baptized I knew exactly what I was dedicating myself to. So I'm truly responsible perhaps more so than yourself for any wrongs I've done.
As for you I don't know.
I know the wicked will be destroyed at Armageddon to "end this destructive conflict" on the Earth (as Vader would say.) The bible sets a side a difference between the wicked...and the unrighteous. God is the ultimate authority at the Day of Judgment...there will be no appeal for the wicked. The unrighteous will get another chance according to Acts 24:15.
Since it's God's church and organization he gets the right to appoint it's King and the structure that it's founded on. The Greek scriptures make no other comment about what women can or cannot do except inside that structure.
Take for instance...Augusta has been razed for their men only policy for years but they made the tournament so it's their rules. I'd be more likely to question their reasoning as opposed to God's reasoning but then I'ved studied the question of women in congregations and why God has the limits in place. What is uncertain is if the future will hold different once we're in better standing with God but for now I accept it as do millions of women across the world.
One Sister told me pointedly, "you have to be satisfied with your place. There are more important things to worry about than rising through the ranks". She meant that if you're worried about getting to the next rung in the ladder, gaining authority, "male or female" you're in the congregation for the wrong reasons.
Being a minister is a heavy responsibility and a privilege that should be taken serious because it's about teaching and instructing people in the right way to live, not about gaining authority. It isn't a business or at least it SHOULD be (Despite all those that have turned it into a business) God is litterally holding them accountable for the guidance in this position.
I know this will not change your perspective but at the very least you'll perhaps understand it's not as arbitrary as it sound on first glance.
So for me as person that constantly questions authority, this is one situation where I know this is not my call, Like it or not I don't have the authority to dictate otherwise. But I'm still in. I trust God on this one.
I have known good women ministers and bad woman ministers, good male ministers and bad male ministers. The good female ministers are not in it for the glory or for the authority. They are ministers because they have felt God's call to that particular job in the same way I felt God's call to go into teaching. OTOH, if I wanted to go into the ministry, I think my degree in Theology is as valid as any man's degree in Theology.
It's funny that, if you want to take the story of Adam and Eve literally, God took the bone from Adam's side so that the woman could stand alongside the man. He did not take it from either the head so she could rule over him or from the foot so she could be trampled on by him. The Bible was written in Patriarchal times and in a patriarchal place. That's not the world we live in now.
"Unless you have something a little bigger in your torpedo tubes, I'm not turning around!"
Do you think that you should be allowed to have that opportunity despite what God has ordained?
What I'm asking is are you the authority that matters to you?
You're a moderator on your forums, correct?
That means you have the ultimate authority. What if someone doesn't like who you've placed in control of your forums? What if someone doesn't agree with your moderation?
And even though you're right that patriarchal element did impact the Hebrews the question is, did it impact God's decisions?
I don't think so because it doesn't favor man to woman's injury just as the slavery in these times was lawful and not designed to injure slave and favor the Master. The rules were fair for women in treatment and fair for slaves as well as for the alien residents who couldn't own land in ancient Israel.
One could conclude that the Bible is racist from that however there was good reason that couldn't own land in Israel. The inheritance of land was all to serve God and support his purpose of bringing the messiah to Earth. That Messiah needed the line of David to be recognized by prophesy.
If an alien resident could own land, Israel could be taken over by intermarriage this is also a reason why marriage with the nations were forbidden aswell to keep the line's clear from Adam to Jesus.
Since Jesus clearly refers to Adam as a real person and the lineage goes back to Adama and show it's clear and concise line of direction then I must accept that they did consider the creation account and Adam and Eves role in it to be literal.
"Unless you have something a little bigger in your torpedo tubes, I'm not turning around!"
No one is forced to be a member of my forum. I'm not the God of the internet. If people don;t like the way I run the forum they are welcome to find another Star Trek forum or not be a member of a forum. Mine is not the only forum on the Internet. There is only one God. And he ain't sending me private messages threatening to delete my membership.
Exactly which part of owning another person is fair? In 1807, the British concluded that owning another person was wrong. But the Bible, again was written in a different place and time when owning slaves was acceptable. People didn't know any better.

New Jersey Assembly leaders said this morning they are forming a new special committee to investigate the ongoing George Washington Bridge controversy and that it will be provided with a special counsel to assist the probe.
A new legislative session is scheduled to start on Tuesday and the Assembly has to renew the subpoena power given to the Assembly's transportation committee during the session that ends today. The new special investigatory committee will be led by Assemblyman John Wisniewski, a Middlesex County Democrat who has also been leading the transportation panel's probe.
"We have made great strides in finding out what actually happened here with this threat to public safety and abuse of power, but so many questions remain unanswered," Wisniewski said.
The announcement comes as more subpoenas are expected to be served on top officials in Governor Christie's administration.
Christie, a Republican, has denied any involvement in the shutdown of two of the three local lanes to the bridge in mid-September – which caused traffic headaches for area commuters, but also hampered public safety efforts, according to local officials. Two Christie appointees to the Port Authority have resigned amid the controversy, a key Christie aide has been fired and the governor has also parted ways with his 2013 campaign manager.
But many questions remain unanswered, including whether the lanes were shut down to punish the mayor of Fort Lee, as he has suggested, for not endorsing the governor last year. Port Authority officials have said the lane closures were part of a traffic study.
Wisniewski said "a concerted and focused investigation with increased resources is now needed."
The use of a special counsel is not without precedent, Assembly leaders said, citing the Senate Judiciary Committee's use of a special counsel in 2001 during the New Jersey State Police racial profiling controversy.

Flushing, NY (Sports Network) - New York Mets recalled shortstop Ruben Tejada from Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday.
Tejada hasn't been with the Mets since going on the disabled list May 30 with a right quad strain. After being activated from the DL, he was optioned to Las Vegas.
In 50 games with the big league club, he hit just .209 with 10 RBI.
The Mets also announced that reliever Scott Rice underwent sports hernia surgery on Tuesday. The procedure was performed by Dr. Bill Meyers in Philadelphia.
Rice was placed on the 60-day disabled list earlier this month with the injury.
Rice earned a spot on the team out of spring training as a 31-year-old rookie and pitched in a team-high 73 games, posting a 4-5 record with a 3.71 ERA.

Dag Nabit! Just when things were looking all Orangey, our beloved team starts a losing streak and we see the Blues emerge into the picture. Obviously Simms is not the answer. I would expect his comeback attempt has a term limit. The penalties looked like we fielded a raider team today. At least our boys didn't give up. It appeared that BMarsh is pretty tired of Knowshon fumbling the ball. He wasn't too happy with where a gimpy Orton was putting the ball either. Speaking of happy, did you see McDaniels dropping F-Bombs in his microphone? I'd like to be a fly on the wall during meetings tomorrow.
So our team has lost 4 in a row. The Kool-Aid is tasting a little sour. What are you gonna do about it. Do you take it out on your 53" Plasma TV? Kick the Dog? Lock the kids in the basement? Retire to the Man Cave for three days and drown your sorrows in a bottle of Hooch? Tell the Boss your sick(and Tired)?.....
I'll tell you what I'm gonna do. I'm Gonna Whoop Somebody's A**.(special thanks to bfree for the impetus)
Watch this 3 minute ditty LittleShrunkenSingsTheBlues, and feel a lot better for yourself. After all, next week the Broncos start a winning streak......One game at a time.
Look out Giants!

There is still one more election day this year on December 8th. Early voting has already started. In Shreveport, voters will decide if they want to renew a sales tax proposal for the Fire and Police Departments.
The Shreveport Fire Department says right now they can respond to a fire or medical emergency anywhere in the city in about 2 to 4 minutes, but that may change if voters do not approve the 1/4% sales tax renewal.
"It would definitely mean that I would have to lay off some people, and in laying personnel off you don't have the personnel to operate whether it's certain stations, whether that means daily brownouts or blackouts of certain neighborhood fire stations," said SFD Chief Craig Mulford.
The quarter of a cent sales tax means for every $4 spent in Shreveport, $.01 of the taxes will go to the Fire and Police Departments. It raises an estimated $10-million a year that the 2 departments split.
"It's personnel, tools, and equipment that we use every day to provide the service that we provide for the citizens of this community," said Mulford.
If the measure fails, Shreveport would have a slightly lower sales tax rate, but according to Mulford you might end up paying it else where.
"In cutting services, it would be a detriment to our Class 1 rating, which then in turn impacts our home insurance, our property insurance rates," he said.
Mulford hopes lots of people go to the polls to support his department, but so far turnout is low. Only 46 people cast a ballot in Shreveport during the first 2 days of early voting.
"It's your money, that's a reason why you always want to take an opportunity to vote, and then the second thing is it involves pretty important agencies. We depend on both of them, so you ought to consider this issue," said Caddo Parish Registrar of Voters, Ernie Roberson.
Early voting runs everyday until December 1st from 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Election Day is Saturday, December 8th.

Among the stacked line up of MMA shows this weekend, was a unique kind of show put on by URCC and Rogue Magazine at the New World Hotel last night. The moment you step foot in the hotel, you would already know that it's not the typical MMA show fight fans are used to.
The guests, which included celebrities, models, musicians, politicians, and other big wigs from different nationalities, were all wined and dined, before catching six action packed MMA bouts at this Black Tie Brawl.
BloodyElbow.com was on hand for the event, and the standouts from the 6-fight line up were two of the younger guys on the card. The always popular, Alvin Ramirez, and the 6-foot-4, Phuket Top Team fighter, Will 'The Kill' Chope both picked up impressive first round victories on Saturday night.
A calm and composed Ramirez fended off a very game and aggressive opponent in Mark Dialogo, until he landed a picture perfect head kick KO. Chope's fight, on the other hand, went exactly the same as his URCC XX bout two weeks ago. His opponent, Miguel Alo, tried to clinch up and take him down, but Chope again, used his height and leverage well, eventually sinking a tall-man choke, and his second standing guillotine finish in two weeks.
After the jump, full results, and the main event action that crowned an interim featherweight champion.
The event was supposed to be headlined by URCC Featherweight Champ, Eric Kelly, but after a bunch of controversy and personal issues from the champ that even had him talking about moving to Malaysia, he had to pull off from the bout at the last minute. It was headlined instead by an interim title bout between Ricardo Sapno, and Reydon "The Filipino Bolo Punch" Romero, who just came off an upset victory over Jessie Rafols in an all out war two weeks ago.
The two faced off and engaged in a back and forth slug-fest during the opening round. Romero was getting the better of the exchanges earlier on, but he was already showing signs of fatigue during the latter moments of that 10-minute first round. As the second 10-minute round drew on, both fighters were clearly worn out. 'The Filipino Bolo Punch' failed to finish a very deep triangle choke, and when they were able to get up, he was landing shots just running on pure heart. A knee knocked the mouthpiece off Sapno, and as the break in the action had both fighters stand on the corners, Romero's body finally gave up and he collapsed by the ropes.
I applaud him for his heart and guts, but he shouldn't have taken this bout to begin with. At this stage in the game, you need your body to peak at the proper time to be at your best during fight night. Not only did he not do that, but his cornermen even told us that Romero just spent majority of that 14 days between fights trying to recover from that war against Rafols. Most of the effects on Romero was from the toll it took on his body after having two all out wars in two weeks, but I really hate to take away anything from Sapno, who did show a lot of potential during that bout. It was the biggest win of his career, and as he improved his record to 4-1, he won the Interim URCC Featherweight Title, and a future shot at the popular and dangerous Eric Kelly.
Full Results:
- Ricardo Sapno def. Reydon Romero by TKO, R2.
- Melchor Cases def. Mitch Malii by Submission (Rear Naked Choke), 4:26 R1
- Alvin Ramirez def. Mark Dialogo by KO (Head Kick), 2:39 R1
- Will Chope def. Miguel Alo by Submission (Standing Guillotine Choke), 3:34 R1
- Keith Mangusan def. Rendel Camasi by Submission (Rear Naked Choke), 0:36 R1
- Mario Sismundo def. Bong Garchitorena by TKO (Punches), R1

Number of ratings 5 / Average Grade: N/A Submit a correction
I highly recommend taking a class with Dr. Ro. The difficulty is not too high, but the workload is fairly high, but every assignment has a purpose--there is no filler. That is really the best thing about Dr. Ro: she wants you to succeed, and the course is her way of helping get you where you need to be in order to succeed.
The bottom line: if you take a class with Dr. Ro, you will be pushed, but her class was very informative and rewarding. The pace of the lectures was quite fast at times, and she demands that students be prepared with the content. Classes are intense. Don't let that scare you though--Dr. Ro is a great professor. One of my favorite courses.
Her class is very hard, but she is a good teacher. She knows a lot about her field and students can really learn a lot if they put in the work.
She is a great teacher who is very interested in her students. She has zero tolerance for laziness, but if you do the homework and participate in class and actually try the class is awesome.
Laughs when students asks questions. Impossible to understand through her accent. Grades based on personal opinion and not what is actually correct. Completely unhelpful. Unfair. One of the worst professors I've ever had.

Support New Mexico Brain Drain Bill
The New Mexico Brain Drain Bill (SB 11) will offer New Mexico businesses a $5,000 tax credit when they hire a recently graduated New Mexico Graduate student. The Graduate student must have completed a masters or doctoral degree in science, technology, engineering, mathematics, or health-related fields. This tax credit is capped at $2,000,000 a year and could benefit up to 400 New Mexico Graduate students and the companies that hire them. The goal of the bill is to keep New Mexico's best and brightest students in the state to live, work, and contribute to the state's economy. The bill will also help to bring high-tech businesses to New Mexico and improve graduation rates in the state.

Out of Stock until September 15 th.
Yellow Oxide: A lovely muted earthy yellow, this is a great alternative to FD&C Yellow. Use this anytime you want a more natural look to your soaps. Approved for use in cosmetics, including lip products. While this is a non-bleeding colorant, if you add too much to your soap it can migrate into other colors in the soap design or stain washcloths. We recommend starting out at 1/16th to 1/8th teaspoon per pound for melt & pour soaps. For cold process, add ½ teaspoon of oxide to 1 ounce of a carrier oil like Sweet Almond or Olive Oil and mix well using a mini mixer – add 1 teaspoon of this mixture to your batch. For more information on oxides in soap, check out this blog post.
NOTE: To achieve a soft to medium yellow in cold process soap, use 1/4 teaspoon for every 16 oz. of oil. To achieve a medium to dark color in cold process, use 1/2 tsp. for every 16 oz. of oil. Keep in mind that base colors (especially some olive or pomace oils) will affect your final outcome.
INCI: Iron Oxide

As of Friday, September 14, 2012
© Copyright 2014 Albany Herald
Looking Ahead
WHO: Albany State (1-1) at Elizabeth City State (0-2)
WHAT: Rams' second road game.
WHEN: 6 p.m. Saturday.
WHERE: Elizabeth City, N.C..
ONLINE: For live scoring updates go to twitter.com/AlbHeraldSports.
ALBANY — Albany State coach Mike White won't be making any changes to his starting lineup after last week's disappointing 37-9 loss to Wingate.
He said this week that he will be sticking with the same guys for Saturday's game against Elizabeth City State (N.C.) — a game the Rams (1-1) need to win to avoid falling below .500 for the first time since starting 2006 at 0-2.
"There's not a lot of personnel changes I can make," White said. "We don't have a lot of manpower to make a lot of changes. We are trying to hone in on some stuff, and most of the stuff, as coaches, we can correct. After looking at film, we can get those solved."
What his starters do on the field, however, needs to change, White added.
And that starts in the red zone, where Wingate — despite fumbling twice inside the 10-yard line in the first quarter — had little trouble putting the ball into the end zone.
"We didn't play good red zone defense or goal line defense in my opinion," said White, whose Rams surrendered five short-yardage touchdowns.
White also wants to see his team get off to a better start against an 0-2 Elizabeth City squad that is treating Saturday's game as a must-win. Last week, the Rams didn't put any points on the board against Wingate until a field goal in the final seconds before halftime.
"Offensively we have to get off a little bit quicker," White said. "Defensively we have to be able to hold our team until our offense gets going. We can't allow them to get out like (Wingate) did last week."
White won't be benching anybody because of performance issues on the field, but he is without two starters from the beginning of the season — star center Hakeem Lassiter, who is game-to-game with keloid but ruled unable to play Saturday, and middle linebacker Jarvis Brice, who broke his leg in the season opener against North Greenville.
Left guard Victor Moli was questionable for this week, but White said on Thursday that team doctors cleared Moli to play after a scary head injury that knocked the lineman out of Wingate's game.
"That's huge for us to get (Moli) back," White said.

|Services to Students and Educators
In 1996, the State Library partnered with the K-12 School Technology Initiative to provide Internet access to all K-12 public schools and public libraries. South Carolina was the first state to provide this depth of Internet access.
Building on the new network infrastructure that provided Internet access to K-12 public schools and public libraries, the State Library, in 1998, launched a pilot program to provide all South Carolinians with equal access to an electronic library of essential information resources. The program was called Discus - South Carolina's Virtual Library. Since that time, Discus has continued to grow, adding more resources to its collection.
Currently, the electronic library contains a variety of organized resources, called databases, for individuals of all ages, educational levels and interests. These databases include newspapers, magazines and journals, encyclopedias, ebooks, multimedia, student and teacher resources, recommended Web links and much more.
Discus resources are free for South Carolina citizens, available 24/7 and searchable by keyword or topic. Access is provided in all K-12 public schools, many K-12 private schools, institutions of higher education and all public libraries. Students and educators in South Carolina also now have easy home access to Discus resources as well. For more details visit, visit http://scdiscus.org/.
The South Carolina State Library presents StudySC, a website that provides online content to support K-12 South Carolina-specific curriculum standards. StudySC makes available a student-friendly environment arranged by grade level and by subject area where students can find the information they need fast.
This site is loaded with South Carolina-specific web resources for K-12 homework help, projects, and more. Soon, StudySC will also provide teachers with lesson plans and other content to support classroom activities.
Day By Day Family Literacy Calendar
New for 2010, the South Carolina State Library published a family literacy calendar designed for families, caregivers, educators and librarians to use at home and in the classroom to further develop early literacy skills.
There is also DayByDaySC.org, an online website with activities, songs, videos, and links to games and art projects for each day of the year.

ESPN radio mentioned Ozzie saying he should be fired as White Sox manager...could this lead to a fire-sale? I know it is far-fetched given Chicago's talent, but the AL Central is stacked this year.
I'm hoping the Redbirds can pull off what they did with Rolen. Trade for Buehrle and get him locked up with a long-term deal. As much as I love the Cardinals, the truth of the matter is that one of these days the starting pitchers are going to start running out of gas (Looper anyone?)
Any trade ideas out there?

Sonia Levitin explores the meaning of miracles--not academically, and not in the abstract, but after a searing incident on a Los Angeles freeway, a miraculous escape from almost certain death that leaves her a changed person.
In the aftermath, she ponders the role of God and the power of prayer in moments of peril. Why do we pray? Does God hear our prayers? How do we know if God "answers" our prayers? Does God single people out for salvation or death? What does it mean to be redeemed from a near-death experience? Does she—and do others who have experienced such miracles--have special roles to play in this world?
Levitin vows not to allow this experience to fade from memory. She decides to mark her miraculous day with an annual celebration. Talking about her plans to a friend, she is surprised to discover that her idea is not new: Jews have been commemorating the anniversary of individual (as well as communal) redemptions for centuries. This Jewish tradition is called a personal Purim.
As we frolic through the Purim holiday's customary celebration of purimspiels, hamantaschen, and the cranking of groggers, "The Freeway Purim" (Spring 2010) invites us to ponder the questions above as well as Purim's deeper meanings.
1. Why pray?
a. On the freeway Levitin prays, "Please stop the traffic!" What did Levitin hope or expect her prayer to achieve? Is praying for the recovery of a critically ill person in the same category as praying for the traffic to stop? Explain.
b. The sages teach that a prayer to change the past is praying in vain (a b'rachah l'vatalah). What prayers would you consider to be in vain? Why?
c. Our tradition also teaches that prayer is so important that even God prays. What do you think our sages meant when they taught that even God prays?
2. In times of danger, when should we depend on God's intervention, and when should we take action?
a. The biblical Book of Esther (Megillat Ester, the Scroll of Esther), in which the Purim story appears, does not contain any references to God except for Mordecai's veiled, almost throw-away reply to Esther: "If you keep silent in this crisis, relief and deliverance will come to the Jews from another quarter" (Esther 4:14). Why do you think God is not mentioned in the Scroll of Esther?
b. As Pharoah's army closes in on the Israelites at the Sea of Reeds, they wait for a miracle. In several midrashim (derived from Exodus 14:15), God rebukes Moses for standing around and praying instead of dividing the waters. In one midrash, Benjamin and Judah jump in before the waters part, after which the sea divides. In the Chanukah story, the Maccabean rebellion begins when Mattathias leads his people to armed revolt against the Syrians. In what situations might it be more advantageous to ask for God's help rather than to act on your own? When might it be preferable to take action? When might it be best to do both?
c. The modern philosopher and theologian Martin Buber warned against telling people in need that God will help them. Rather, he said, act like there is no God. What did he mean? Do you agree?
d. If you are facing a critical situation, and you believe God does not intervene directly in what happens to us, might you still be able to pray to God? If the answer is yes, for what might you pray? If the answer is no, how else might you find the help you seek?
3. Is remembrance vital to survival?
a. The obligation to remember—zachor!—appears in the fourth of the Ten Commandments: "Remember the Sabbath day and keep it holy" (Exodus 20:8). To remember her redemption, Sonia Levitin invites friends to a commemorative meal. Why do you think remembrance is a core Jewish value?
b. The kiddush prayer uses other word forms of zachor to say that Shabbat and festivals are zikaron l'ma-asai b'resheet and zecher litziyat Mitzrayim—reminders of Creation and the Exodus from Egypt. How is remembering Creation, Exodus, Shabbat, and festivals linked to our people's survival?
c. How might observing annual celebrations such as Levitin's personal Purim meal help us to feel closer to God?
4. What is a miracle?
a. What is your definition of a miracle?
b. What events in your life and in the lives of loved ones would you call miracles? What do these events have in common?
c. Before the freeway incident, Sonia Levitin thought of miracles as "natural occurrences." Afterward, she thought of miracles in terms of redemption, of salvation for a special purpose. Still later, she thought of her survival as a gift to remember and treasure. Which, if any, of her views about miracles speak to you? Explain.

Divorce - There's A Time Limit On Sympathy
The gloomy title of this chapter is not only true: it ought to be. A widow or divorcee may be entitled to be a weeping willow for a time, but there comes a day when feeding on memories is an indulgence.
Divorce - Tomorrow Shouldn't Be Yesterday
There are two schools of thought as to whether a newly made widow or divorcee should stay right where she is, carrying on as much as usual as she can, or whether she should move to other surroundings.
Divorce - Be Busy Or Be Sorry
The happiest people in the world are almost invariably the ones with a lot of friends. There are some exceptions, but not all who seem to be are really happy.
Divorce - The Odd Man And The Extra Woman
A question that will inevitably arise sooner or later in your new life is whether it is to be a purely feminine one or whether a dash of masculine companionship is to be added.
Divorce - So You Were Left Destitute
There are few things that happen in this more-or-less civilized hemisphere that are worse than the experience of a woman who has been well taken care of for years and who suddenly finds herself with-out enough money to live on.
Divorce - You And Mrs. Grundy
Mrs. Grundy, that prim lady who personifies our code of polite manners and customs, is treated with considerable flippancy in these informal days.
Divorce - Are Two Husbands Better Than None?
For we are about to start off with the statement that most widows and a good many divorcees don't want to remarry. Far more men are ready to try again and there are those among them who keep on trying right up to the end.
Divorce - Even Solitary Middle Age Has Its Points
We are not going to claim that the advantages of a solitary life, after you have reached what we will politely call middle age, can compare with the close companionship of a husband.
Divorce - Keep Up With You Grandchild
If you keep your mind up to date, even your grandchildren will like to be with you, to say nothing of other people (which is what really counts in the end, as your grandchildren get busier and busier with lives of their own).
How To Get To New York City
Although New York lags far behind Chicago as a railroad center, if-all methods of arrival and departure are considered, it is undoubtedly the greatest transportation center in the world.
Driving In New York City
The system of traffic lights in New York is one of the worst I have yet seen in any major American city.
New York City Sightseeing
As I have said in several books before, I honestly believe that a ticket on a sightseeing bus gives greater return for the money than almost any other expenditure the traveler can make.
Midtown Manhattan
For sightseeing purposes New York can be divided into various districts, each more or less complete in itself. As by far the greater number of visitors will arrive in the Midtown Neighborhood.
New York City - Around Washington Square
From Union Square a short walk down University Place, or, if you prefer, down Fifth Avenue, one block to the west, will bring you to Washington Square.
New York City - From City Hall Park To The Battery
City Hall Park is the real civic center of New York. The city hall itself, at the northern end of the Park, facing south, is not only the finest example of post-colonial architecture in New York.
New York City - Around And About Central Park
Central Park, a beautifully landscaped tract of 840 acres, stretches two and one-half miles long from 59th to 10th Streets, and half a mile wide from Fifth to Eighth Avenues.
New York City - Riverside Drive And Upper West Side
As far north as 157th Street you will have RIVERSIDE PARK between you and the river. Although it is not a new park, in its present shape it is a monument to the genius of Park Commissioner Robert Moses.
Bronx, Richmond, Queens, And Brooklyn
Of the five boroughs of New York by far the most famous is Manhattan. Here are grouped most of the best sights, the greatest hotels and restaurants, and the theaters.
Museums Of New York City
All museums of New York are legion, and in listing and selecting those most likely to interest the visitor I have been somewhat bothered by the question of what constitutes a museum anyway?
Amusements In New York City
The theaters of New York are many, and with a few out-standing exceptions, they are all pretty much alike.
Restaurants In New York City
Few cities have as many eating places, large and small, as New York. The classified section of the telephone directory lists over six thousand of them.
Shopping In New York City
Fifth Avenue is still the great shopping street of New York, although it is not quite so smart as it used to be.
History About New York City
The city is divided into five boroughs, of which only one, the Bronx, is on the main-land. Brooklyn and Queens are on Long Island; Manhattan is on Manhattan Island; and Richmond is on Staten Island.
Hotels In New York City
The following list of hotels is far from being a complete coverage of the various establishments, large and small, to be found in New York.
Collector's Luck
Even now, as a layman, I present my panacea. If you are dull, if you are unhappy, if you are bored — collect!
Stenciled Furniture
Were you ever lucky like me, do you think? Did you ever find a set of stenciled chairs, softly brown and glowing with gold pomegranates and formalized flowers, and all six for six dollars?
Pressed Glassware
Perhaps if I hadn't bought my five-cent sugar-bowls at that Vermont auction I never would have begun to collect pressed glass.
Old Woven Coverlets
Today I have been very happy, and what do you think I have been doing? Mending an old coverlet; a coverlet woven, it is said, before this country of ours was a nation.

This divine candy is rich, buttery, and crunchy-everything i love about toffee. It's topped with finely chopped chocolate that melts while the toffee is still hot, then it's sprinkled with a layer of finely chopped toasted almonds.
Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350°F.
Place the almonds in a cake or pie pan and toast in the oven for 12 to 14 minutes, until light golden. Stir the almonds every 5 minutes as they are toasting to ensure they brown evenly. Remove the pan from the oven and cool completely on a rack, then chop the almonds finely.
Line a 7 × ll-inch (2-quart) rectangular baking pan with aluminum foil so that the foil fits snuggly in the pan and hangs a bit over the edges. Using a paper towel, oil the foil that lines the inside of the pan. Sprinkle ¾ cup of the chopped toasted almonds over the bottom of the pan.
Melt the butter in a 3-quart heavy-duty saucepan over medium heat. Add the sugar, water, and salt and cook, stirring constantly with a heat-resistant spatula, until the mixture registers 260°F on a candy thermometer. Immediately stir in ½ cup of the chopped almonds and continue cooking the mixture until it becomes golden brown and registers 290° on the candy thermometer. Immediately stir in the vanilla and baking soda. Be careful as the mixture will bubble and foam.
Turn the toffee out into the prepared pan and spread it evenly in the pan and to the edges. Immediately sprinkle the top of the toffee evenly with the chocolate. Let it stand for 2 minutes, until the chocolate begins to melt. Use a small offset spatula to spread the chocolate evenly over the top of the toffee. Sprinkle the top of the chocolate evenly with the remaining ¾ cup of chopped toasted almonds. Let the toffee set up at room temperature until firm, about 30 minutes, then refrigerate for 15 minutes to set the chocolate.
Lift the toffee from the pan by holding the overhanging edges of foil. Peel the foil away from the toffee and break the toffee into small pieces. Serve at room temperature.
Store the toffee between layers of waxed paper in an airtight container at room temperature up to 1 month.
Nutritional information is based on a serving size of 2 pieces.

BI Outdoor winner of the committee championship
For the first time in BI´s history, "Utvalgsmesterskapet", translated into "the Committee Championship" was held. The madness took place from the 21-24th of February. All of BI´s committees competed to be named the smartest, quickest and best committee at BI. We were tested in disciplines like shuffleboard, relay, quiz, FIFA, Guitar Hero, laser tag, dodge ball, beer pong etc.
Outdoor did well with first place in laser tag, the committee relay and quiz. Before the last day Outdoor had a one-point lead over BI Lacrosse. After the last discipline; quiz, there was a tie between the two committees. This resulted in two extra rounds with questions. The judges still weren't able to announce a winner since we kept answering the same. It was then decided that we were going into sudden death. After some more questions, BI Outdoor finally won! We got a huge trophy and celebrated the whole night.
One of the things that contributed to our victory was our prank. The judges announced the first day that they would give out points to the best pranks. Outdoor decided to prank BI Lacrosse. You can watch the prank here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=obm5fMqwx3E.

Richardson's Gaffe Problem
by Todd Beeton, Fri Aug 10, 2007 at 03:14:36 PM EDT
At last night's LGBT presidential forum, Bill Richardson made the one glaring gaffe of the night:
Melissa Etheridge: Do you think homosexuality is a choice or is it biological?
Bill Richardson: It's a choice.
Once he said it, it was clear to everyone that he'd made a mistake. Etheridge even tried to give him a second chance to answer and Margaret Carlson tried to bail him out later, but neither time did Richardson take the lifeline, seemingly clueless as to how to right the error. But just as he said it, the first thing to pop into my head was: oh, man, his campaign's going to have to clean up this mess. And sure enough, per America Blog, Richardson issued this statement of clarification:
I misunderstood the question. Let me be clear- I do not believe that sexual orientation or gender identity happen by choice. But I'm not a scientist, and the point I was trying to make is that no matter how it happens, we are all equal and should be treated that way under the law. That is what I believe, that is what I have spent my career fighting for. I ask that people look at my record and my actions and they will see I have been a true supporter of the LGBT community."
It's a fine statement and echoes something a friend of mine said to me last night: "why does it matter if he does the right things?" Which is a sentiment shared by Atrios:
But in general terms, focusing on the record is something we should do more instead of trying to divine what's in the souls of candidates. There are reasons for doing the latter, as past performance is no guarantee of future returns, but ultimately it doesn't really matter what politicians think about things deep in their hearts.
True enough. But for me, for better or worse, it's not his record OR what's really in his heart that's the issue here. There's a whole other level of information we're getting from these debates, which is how these candidates are going to handle themselves against their Republican counterparts in the general, whether as a presidential or VP candidate. Many people tout Richardson's resume as the reason he'd make a great presidential candidate and his ethnicity and geography as evidence that he's the perfect VP choice, but after last night and after his choice of Byron (Whizzer) White as his model Supreme Court justice (see his mea culpa for that HERE) and after his cringe-worthy Meet The Press appearance from May, I really have to conclude that Richardson is just not ready for prime time. There are limitations to a resume. Secretary of State -- hell yes, but please candidates, please take him off your VP shortlists. The last thing we need is for "Boy, I really screwed that one up" to be a recurring refrain during next year's campaign season.

Women's Basketball Falls to Mercer, 64-51
Jan. 24, 2004
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - JU sophomore guard Sheena Carpenter (Augusta, Ga.) had a career-high 21 points and nine rebounds, while freshman center Talia Johnson (Sardis, Ga.) had a career-high five blocks, but it wasn't enough as Mercer downed the Dolphins 64-51 Saturday evening at Swisher Gymnasium. Junior guard Rebecca Montz (Erath, La.) also added 14 points for JU (2-13, 0-8 A-Sun), which is still seeking its first conference win, while Mercer (8-8, 6-3 A-Sun) moves into a tie for third place in the conference.
Mercer put together a 12-4 run to extend its 13 point halftime lead to 50-29 at 15:54. Senior guard Katie McDonald (Chandler, Ariz.) scored four points in a 9-0 JU run to pull the Dolphins to within 50-39 with 8:37 to play, but the Bears responded by holding the Dolphins without a field goal for the next 4:08 to push the lead back to 16.
JU trailed 7-4 early until Montz hit back-to-back three-pointers to spark a 10-2 Dolphin run and put JU ahead 14-9 at 12:35 of the first half. The Bears clawed back to take a 21-20 lead at the 6:17 mark before finishing the half on a 17-5 run , holding the Dolphins to just one field goal in the final 8:13.
JU plays the first of three consecutive road games at Campbell on Thursday, Jan. 29 at 7 p.m.

Hey, TurfShow. This is my first actual "Fan Post", so please bare with me.
I know that the Mock Draft thing is all the rave at the moment as this season comes to an end. I'd like to add my own, as well as a prediction as to what the Rams are going to do in the free agency market.
As far as off season pick ups, before I do any Mock, I see Saffold being resigned as a guard, Dahl cut, Finn resigned to a smaller contract and seeing Langford being released. In Langford's replacement, the Rams will be picking up a "veteran" (probably someone mid 20's...Linvall Johnson from the Giants possibly?). So, with that in consideration, here's my Mock:
Round 1A. Rams trade away for another 1 and a 3
Round 1B. Ha Ha Dixon - Safety. Alabama.
Round 1C. Cyril Richardson - Guard. Baylor.
Round 2. Adrian Hubbard - OLB. Alabama.
Round 3A. EJ Gaines - CB. Missouri.
Round 3B. Morgan Moses - OT. Virginia. (Battle it out with Bark. If Bark wins, that's good. If the rookie does, good ass pick!)
Round 4. Josh Huff - WR. Oregon. (This is depth and with the mindset that Pettis is released. I know many of you may hate this, but he reminds me so much of Steve Smith from Carolina.)
Round 5. Steven Morris - QB. Miami. (If this doesn't seem like a Jeff Fisher guy, I don't know what is.)
Round 6. Brandon Thomas - OG. Clemson.
Round 7. Avery Williamson - MLB. Kentucky. (One of the most underrated players in the draft IMO.)
...so there it is boys and girls. Please, share your thoughts/likes/dislikes.
