As a child I noticed how small businesses relied on personal relationships and trust to thrive. The local butcher, banker, and physician knew instinctively that what they needed to do to be successful: win the respect of their local community.
Today, as business has globalized, the need for close connections between merchant and customer is even more important.
The new main street is rapidly transforming. Businesses hoping to not just survive the change, but thrive, will aggressively turn to a strategy that exploits mobile and social technologies – solutions that enable them to interact with customers both directly and indirectly via smart phones and tablets. In this space of social and mobile, small and medium businesses (SMBs) can create new ways to succeed.
And the time is now. Consumers are looking to online influencers – trusted digital friends, bloggers, so-called experts, and simply other consumers – for guidance on what to buy and where to go. How we communicate with them and what we learn from them is critical. In many respects, word of mouth has become the new currency in the highly-connected world of social media.
On the main street of my youth, we had the trusted advisor who knew the best cut of meat for a special occasion. Now, we have the questioner who asks and the observer who stands in the background listening and watching the interactions online. This digital world is amplified in space and time. Interactions between advisors and questioners are captured forever, time-travelling advice into the future and establishing a long trail of influence. Interactions are independent of geography and reach across our connected world. Interactions are repeated, modified and amplified so that they become the new truth, the perceived wisdom – the new word of mouth.
There are a precious few truly trusted digital friends and a relatively low number of questioners that help to create these online interactions. But they influence. So, we listen, we judge, we consume the word of mouth and we amplify it and repeat it constantly.
For SMBs, the key to success is leveraging this word of mouth, becoming a trusted advisor, creating and establishing relationships with those who ask questions and attracting listeners. We must behave like the business folk of my youth; we must have the interests those who ask questions of our businesses and those who offer answers.
SMBs can and should do more to work with consumers who have a deep interest in their product areas and who have built digital networks and reputations based on those interests.
They come in all shapes and sizes, from a busy mom who's active on Facebook, to a well-known industry blogger. They have hundreds, thousands or even tens of thousands of friends and followers, all of whom contribute to the digital mouthpiece. By being higher-quality, differentiated, even just different, SMBs can amplify their message by reach out to and embracing these consumers.
This type of word of mouth is the best advertising SMBs can get. Some firms go a step further and have tried to actually leverage influencers to increase sales. The key is making sense of all the information being generated by the social conversation by applying analytics to identify influencers and what motivates them. Once these insights are transformed into connections via analytics, small businesses must engage the influencer directly.
The future of brand strategy will include an ability to demonstrate authenticity to those who actually help define your markets, and then turn customers into influencers.

DNA packing and interactions in vitro and in viro
Adrian Parsegian
National Institutes of Health
The goal of this work is to connect the direct measurement of forces between DNA double helices in vitro with the action of these forces in viro, within the hard walls of a viral capsid. We use x-ray diffraction and osmotic stress to measure forces between DNA in solutions of different salt type and concentration. In this way, we have built a physics of molecular assembly in vitro. DNA-organizing forces include electrostatic, bending fluctuation, and – most important at the densities typical of viral packing – solvation/hydration. These forces mix. Molecular configuration is restrained by soft collisions between double helices mediated by hydration and electrostatic repulsion. The additional constraint posed by a hard shell of a capsid restricts the DNA polymer to a fixed volume. The DNA organizes near the wall so as to fit its constraint as well as DNA-DNA interactions. By modeling and by x-ray diffraction of DNA in the virus, we now connect in vitro force measurements with in viro packing.
Refreshments at 4:00 PM. Seminar begins at 4:10 PM.

anchorage man indicted for distributing methamphetamine
Anchorage, Alaska – United States Attorney Karen L. Loeffler announced today that an Anchorage man was indicted by a federal grand jury in Anchorage on a charge of distribution of a controlled substance.
The one-count indictment named Lamson Soneoulay, 25, of Anchorage, Alaska, as the sole defendant.
According to the indictment presented to the court, Soneoulay distributed five grams or more of actual methamphetamine.
Special Assistant United States Attorney Erin E. White, who presented the case to the grand jury, indicated that the law provides for a maximum total sentence of 40 years in prison, a fine of $2 million, or both. The law also provides for a mandatory minimum sentence of five years in prison. Under federal sentencing statutes, the actual sentence imposed will be based upon the seriousness of the offense and the prior criminal history, if any, of the defendant.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation's Safe Streets Task Force conducted the investigation leading to the indictment in this case.
An indictment is only a charge and is not evidence of guilt. A defendant is presumed innocent and is entitled to a fair trial at which the government must prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

The NFL may be the most popular sports league in the country (if not the world), but that doesn't mean it hasn't been receiving its fair share of double coverage from the media lately.
This week's episode of Frontline, "League of Denial," looks at "the NFL's concussion crisis." And this month's issue of The Atlantic includes Gregg Easterbrook's article "How the NFL Fleeces Taxpayers," based on Easterbrook's new book, The King of Sports: Football's Impact on America. (Spoiler alert: it's mostly bad.) Easterbrook's excellent article explains how "taxpayers fund the stadiums, antitrust law doesn't apply to broadcast deals, the league enjoys nonprofit status, and Commissioner Roger Goodell makes $30 million a year."
The Atlantic article is filled with many eye-popping, stomach-turning stats, but this one stands out among them:
"Judith Grant Long, a Harvard University professor of urban planning, calculates that league-wide, 70 percent of the capital cost of NFL stadiums has been provided by taxpayers, not NFL owners. Many cities, counties, and states also pay the stadiums' ongoing costs, by providing power, sewer services, other infrastructure, and stadium improvements."
But that's not all! (In a cheesy game show voice.) Here's what the dollars and nonsense add up and subtract to for the new megalithic Cowboys Stadium, near in Dallas, which, as Easterbrook notes, "has been appraised at $1 billion."
"At the basic property-tax rate of Arlington, Texas, where the stadium is located, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones would owe at least $6 million a year in property taxes. Instead he receives no property-tax bill, so Tarrant County taxes the property of average people more than it would otherwise."
Nice non-work, if you can get it.
I highly recommend reading the rest of Easterbrook's article. Then check out David Sirota's recent offering at In These Times, "NFL Scores Big With Tax-Exempt Status," which discusses "how football symbolizes economic unfairness in America."
Then, if you are so desiring, check out and sign this Change.org petition asking Congress "to revoke the tax-exempt status of the National Football League," which was created by Lynda Woolard, of New Orleans.
Then hope Gronk is healthy enough to play this Sunday against Woolard's undefeated Saints. Because Brady's bunch is in trouble without him.
Go Pats!

Q:What is the IRS definition of incentive travel? A: No official definition exists, but incentives fall under the IRS classification of a "business vacation." Jim Gossett, partner with Arnstein & Lehr in Chicago, defines a pure incentive trip as "travel given as a prize for the accomplishment of set goals."

England's cricketers will not be forced to return to India for the two-Test series between the two countries, the managing director for England cricket said Saturday. In the aftermath of attacks in the Indian financial capital of Mumbai, Hugh Morris said the England team was committed to returning to India if it was "safe and secure" to do so, and added that the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) was "actively" considering warm-up matches in the Middle East. "I don't think we'd force anybody to do anything," Morris told reporters at a press conference at London's Heathrow Airport after the England team returned from India, when asked if cricketers would be forced to return if they did not want to. Morris noted that, among the players, there was "a good degree of nervousness, there's no doubt about that, that's only natural." "But what we have to do is provide the absolute up-to-date information that we have" to the players, he said. "They would have the necessary information to make an informed decision, but I think that that would be a personal choice if someone felt very strongly about it." He said that the team had returned "to assess the safety and security situation in India (and) the remainder of the England cricket tour of India." "We have a team of people that we rely on for our safety and security information. They're pulling that information together over the next 24 to 48 hours and, clearly, we'll assess that information when we have it." He acknowledged that the team had a "very short timescale" to work with, with the first Test due to be played in the western city of Ahmedabad from December 11-15. "Clearly, we are committed to going back and playing in a Test series if it is safe to do so," he said. "Would I go back? If it was safe and secure, absolutely." Asked by a reporter whether the ECB was considering holding a warm-up match at a venue in the Middle East, Morris replied: "That's an option we are actively looking at." "The information we get in the next 48 hours will be determining the programme leading up to the first Test if the report suggests it will be safe and secure to go back." The Board of Control for Cricket in India shifted the second Test from terror-hit Mumbai to the southern city of Chennai, which is scheduled to be played from December 19-23. The final two one-day internationals of the seven-match series, in which England was trailing 5-0, have been cancelled. The last remaining gunmen in Mumbai's Taj hotel were killed by Indian commandos on Saturday, ending the devastating attack by Islamic militants which has left 195 dead.

ECB wants commando protection for playersDavid Collier, chief executive of the ECB, and Sean Morris of the Professional Cricketers' Association are being briefed on the latest security situation in India by the Government. The players will then be briefed about the same.
England wait for security report on India testsNEW DELHI (Reuters) - The England and Wales cricket board (ECB) will send a security consultant to India before deciding whether to take part in this month's two-test series following the deadly attacks in Mumbai. The ECB tentatively agreed to play after the Indian authorities switched the venues to Chennai and Mohali, from Ahmedabad and Mumbai in the west.
BCCI announce revised itineraryThe England cricket team is likely to return to India on December 3 for the two-test series. According to a report in the Indian news channel CNN-IBN, the first test, starting on December 11, is likely to be shifted from Ahmedabad to Mohali.

1. Jean Beasley, founder of the Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Rescue and Rehabilitation Center on Topsail Island, North Carolina is Oceana's 2013 Ocean Hero. Since 2007, her rescue center has rehabilitated and released more than 300 sea turtles back into the wild. The 2013 junior Ocean Heroes are Rory and Maeve McCracken of Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The siblings started kidslovethegulf.org to encourage other kids to get involved in gulf restoration efforts. They also wrote and published their own book, G is for Gulf. Ocean Heroes are chosen by Oceana's Wavemakers in an online election. See more at oceana.org/en/living-blue/ocean-heroes.
2. In July, the Basque regional government supported the designation of Jaizkibel as special area of conservation in Spain. Oceana has fought for increased protections for this special place since 2010.
3. Oceana extends a warm welcome to two new board members, Loic Gouzer and Diana Thompson. Gouzer is an art specialist at Christie's Auction House and an avid ocean conservationist. Diana Thomson is the chair of the Nikita Foundation, a Toronto-based charity that supports initiatives in the areas of health, education, and environmental protection.
4. "iCarly" and "Despicable Me" star Miranda Cosgrove swam with dolphins to film a new Oceana public service announcement about how seismic airguns will harm marine mammals. Visit oceana.org/dolphinsong to see Miranda's video and learn what the noise is all about.
5. Oceana explorers co-discovered a new species of giant protozoon, or single-celled organism, on an expedition to the Seco de Palos seamount, off the coast of Spain, in 2012. Named Spiculosiphon oceana, the five-centimeter protozoan is especially unique because it imitates a carnivorous sponge. The discovery was recently published in the scientific journal Zootaxa.
6. In August, Oceana prevented the construction of a coal-fired power plant that threatened ocean fisheries in Chile. The proposed Punta Alcalde Power Plant would have used vast quantities of seawater as coolant, killing millions of tiny fish larvae in the process. It also would have dumped hot water back into the ocean, further damaging the local ecosystem. Oceana filed an injunction with the national Court of Appeals and won. The company, Endesa, and the government have appealed, and the case is now currently in the Chilean Supreme Court.

The Mambo
dance originated in Cuba where there were
substantial settlements of Haitians. In the back
country of Haiti, the "Mambo" is a voodoo priestess,
who serves the villagers as counselor, healer,
exorcist, soothsayer, spiritual advisor, and
organizer of public entertainment. However, there is
not a folk dance in Haiti called the "Mambo
One of the greatest contributions of the Mambo is
that it led to the development of the Cha-Cha.
Mambo has very close roots to Salsa and in fact
there is a very little difference between Salsa and
Mambo music. These free
dance lessons
will teach you the basic steps in several dances,
but lessons from a dance studio or use of an
instructional video
will make it easier and much more fun.

I found out I was pregnant in May while I was getting my annual exam. For some reason I had them check just because I had a funny feeling that I was--not that I was having symptoms because I really wasn't. This was my first pregnancy. I am 35. I had been dating the "father" (wow that is the first time I've ever used that term to describe him), for only a couple of weeks--although I had known him for several years. We were shocked to find out I was pregnant for several reasons--mainly because he had testicular cancer when he was younger and had a testicle removed and was under the impression he was no longer fertile due to all the chemo, drugs and the surgery, and second because he was separated and not divorced yet. At first I wasn't sure if I wanted to keep the baby. I was in absolute shock, and then panic set in. "How would we tell people I was pregnant?" "How did I get myself pregnant by a married man--and what if his divorce never gets filed?" "I was planning on moving out of state next month--what now?" "I just graduated and don't have a job yet--how are we going to afford this baby?""How many more chances am I going to get at being a mommy at my age?" "What if we abort and he resents me forever?" "How could our relationship weather this so soon?" "How is his family going to react with him being 43?" And on, and on. We had many conversations about what to do and eventually decided to get married. We moved in together, and still none of his family knows as his wife is not wanting to sign divorce papers, so I guess I am his dirty little secret until then. I do love him, and being pregnant and m/c hasn't changed all this--I felt it just sped things up.
After the fear and shock of being pregnant wore off, an excitement took over. We bought baby books and I really became excited about the life growing inside of me. I began becoming a health freak about what I ate and took vitamins and drank plenty of water. ...The excitement turned back into fear when I began having spotting and pain on June 8th. June 9th would have been my first prenatal visit. I went to the Dr.'s office and had an ultrasound and blood work. They did not tell me what to expect at all, or what was, or could be, going on. They said my levels were xyz and that pain and spotting didn't necessarily mean miscarriage. (This was on a Friday.) Over the weekend, the pain was still awful. I couldn't stand for more than 3-5 minutes at a time. My hips and back ached something awful--it felt like they were rotten and if I stood up they were going to crumble. I had some vicodin from a back injury from a year ago and finally broke down and took some. Three days I felt like this and I was all alone. My BF was at work (he works 48 hours at a time), and I was left at home and could barely function. On the 4th day I passed what I'm guessing is the gestational sac. I was in shock--it looked like a shriveled up prune. I'm guessing the reason is because my ultrasound showed I was maybe 4-5 weeks, but according to my LMP I should have been closer to 8. I didn't know what to do with it. Should I keep it? Should I flush it? What is appropriate here? So many questions. I felt like a 16 year-old kid. Hell, I was in some stupid situation that a naive kid would find themselves in, not a 35 year-old woman. Later that night, my bf made the comment that it was okay to feel so relief that I m/c. I was really hurt by his comment, because I was on board to have this baby and there was no "relief" with the m/c--at best there was guilt and mixed emotions. I knew the timing was off for us, and that yes a baby after we were married would be ideal, but I found myself ready to be a mommy, and now I felt very alone in my sadness. It has been a month since then, and I'm still not sure why I miscarried or how far along I was. My story is embarrassing, and I can't believe I am sharing it with you. Sigh. Today was my first period after my m/c and it has been hard on me. Thanks for listening.

I am so sorry for your loss. does not matter the circumstances you had a loss and it hurts. Please try not to figure out why this happen. I had a MC at 11 1/2 weeks back in Feb. They say it can happen in the first 12 weeks and it is common. So hard to hear that.
It is hard but want you to know as time goes on you do not forget but it does get easier.
I am so so sorry for your loss, please know you can chat w us here when you need to.
T&P to you
So sorry you are going through this.
I have gone through this twice now, but had a child in between. My husband did not grieve at all either time. He just said it is what it is. I am sure there are some men that grieve, but mine does not. I also don't think he knows how to handle me as I cry and get upset at the littlest things.
Like the pp said, as time goes by you learn to deal with it easier, though you never forget.
Good luck to you.

By making an Investment in Character, you are assuring prosperous outcomes for an entire generation, serving the future of our communities, our economy and our nation. In a world where reality and perception are increasingly defined through media and technology, Scouting inspires and engages youth to take charge of their own lives, providing real and hands-on experiences.
You can make your contribution now to the Timberline District and/or you can ensure that every family in your unit has the opportunity to support Scouting, by scheduling your unit's annual Investment in Character Presentation (Blue and Gold, Court of Honor or other heavily attended family meetings are best). Please fill out the form to reserve your presentation date and presenter.
Mark your calendars for the 2015 Timberline District Recognition Dinner on Thursday, March 13th. Online Registration and more information will be available in January. Meanwhile, don't miss the opportunity to recognize your leaders for their leadership and hard work.
The adults enjoy the bling just as much as the kids do! Recognize your dedicated leaders as an Outstanding Scouter. Maybe you have a Cubmaster, Scoutmaster, Ship or Crew Advisor who has gone above and beyond. Show your appreciation by nominating them for Leader of the Year. Maybe you've seen an outstanding volunteer, over the years at Scout Show, Klondike, Pinewood Derby or Day Camp. Reward them for volunteering on a District level with the District Award of Merit, the highest recognition given within the District. There's plenty of opportunities at this event to make your leaders feel appreciated, so take the time to honor them.
The Timberline District would like to help ensure your Unit is successful throughout the year, by challenging you to year-round recruiting in your unit. This will not only grow the membership in your unit, but will also grow your adult leadership.
Anytime you want to invite youth to your unit meeting or activity, simply submit the Join Night Material Request Form and the District Membership team will prepare flyers, stickers, yard signs, buddy cards, and other materials for you. We are here to help you and to ensure that every youth has the opportunity to join Scouting.

Ever since the American Psychiatric Association announced that they're reviewing the definition of autism, women on the iVillage message boards have been voicing their discontent…and their worst fears. A more rigid definition of autism could push their children off the spectrum, resulting in the loss of support they need at school.
"It seems to me like what they're doing is … if they can't figure out why the [autism] rates are skyrocketing and do something about it, they'll just change the criteria and get the numbers down by excluding people instead. Two of my kids have PDD-NOS and according to this, 85% of kids with that diagnosis would no longer be eligible for services. That terrifies me. "
-- trishap73
"How are they really ending the epidemic other than reducing the number that get officially diagnosed? There will still be children on the spectrum that will need help, but might not get it under these changes. This doesn't seem to be progress to me at all."
-- cmmelissa
"My DS [dear son] is high functioning and has recently been diagnosed with autistic disorder in October. We are in the process of his IEP [individualized education program], and I'm worried that services won't be available to him if his diagnosis doesn't stand. Will everyone with a diagnosis have to be re-evaluated?"
-- chris_mommy2zach
"This really makes me nervous. My son has PPD-NOS. He is in special-ed at school. There is no way right now he could handle being in a regular-ed class room."
-- daunjustamom
"I guess I better dust off my homeschooling books, because it's already been well established that my children can't make it in a classroom without autism support."
-- skystrider
If you're a parent of a child on the autism spectrum, visit the Autism , Asperger's & PDD-NOS board and let us know how a redefinition would affect your family.

|the compact green one with the teensy yellow flowers? What is this called so I can buy it.?? Please, anyone know?
Follow-Up Postings:
|It's hard to see, but might be a type of bidens.

- Posted by missingtheobvious Blue Ridge 7a (My Page) on Mon, Jul 14, 14 at 23:11
|It reminds me of a bidens I had a few years back -- but a sharp close-up would help the gurus give a definite answer.
|I second the Coreopsis sp. ID. I've photographed it many times in botanical gardens. More common with orange flowers, but does come in red and yellow, too.
|I'm going with Coreopsis verticillata.

La Madre Bakery Lamingtons
I love a 'lamo' just as much as anyone. I'm yet to try the famous Flour & Stone ones, but until I can get up to Sydney I need a substitute. Luckily Amy from Run Forrest must have had a crystal ball and could feel my pain and delivered me some extra special lamingtons from La Madre Bakery.
So what makes a good lamington? I'd say the sponge has to be light and fluffy, the option of jam or jam and cream wodged inside, the chocolate coating not being too thick, and the coconut should generally go everywhere when you eat it. But La Madre have taken all things lamington to a whole new level: using a traditional vanilla sponge with jam, they DOUBLE UP the chocolate "because they think they taste better that way". They don't use any old chocolate, they use Callebut (Belgian couverture) …. so you know that shiz is gonna be gooooood! Now I don't know about you, but if more chocolate is involved, sign me up, stat!
So apart from using Callebut chocolate, they also use locally sourced unbleached flour, Green Eggs, sugar, Jonesy's Milk and cocoa powder. After being smothered gently in chocolate they are coated in shredded coconut. Perfect for Australia Day or all year around!
Want some lamo trivia? Allow me to feed your mind.
- Lamingtons a dessert of Australian origin
- There are some theories as to how the name Lamington came about, but my person favourite involves Lord Lamington… purely based on the name! (see wiki)
- They are usually cut into 4cm cubes
- They are called coconut bars in Cleveland, Ohio
- Friday 21 July 2006 was designated National Lamington Day in Australia
- The World's Biggest Lamington was made in Toowomba on 11 June 2011. It weighed 2,361kg (wonder how many weight watchers points that is )
- Lamington is also a suburb of the Western Australian outback town of Kalgoorlie-Boulder

Do you need a pick-me-up after listening to the preview stream of Beck Morning Phase? Well, NPR has you covered with a stream of St. Vincent's self-titled fourth album. Ms. St. Vincent, Annie Clark, described the fantastic, kind of weird, kind of funky album as "a party record you could play at a funeral."

Definitions for SANsɑn
This page provides all possible meanings and translations of the word SAN
Random House Webster's College Dictionary
Sansɑn(n.)(pl.)Sans; San.
a member of any of a group of physically distinctive, short-statured peoples of S Africa, traditionally dependent on hunting and foraging for subsistence.
Category: Peoples
the Khoisan languages of the San.
Category: Peoples
A member of the ethnically distinct, short-statured nomadic people of southern Africa.
Any of a dozen related Khoisan languages spoken by the San.
A river in southeastern Poland and western Ukraine.
San was an archaic letter of the Greek alphabet. Its shape was similar to modern M, or to a modern Greek Sigma turned sideways, and it was used as an alternative to Sigma to denote the sound. Unlike Sigma, whose position in the alphabet is between Rho and Tau, San appeared between Pi and Qoppa in alphabetic order. In addition to denoting this separate archaic character, the name "San" was also used as an alternative name to denote the standard letter Sigma.

WOLCOTT — A year ago, the Wolcott Grange's future was uncertain.
The State Grange had revoked the local chapter's charter due to inactivity. The group didn't have enough members to elect officers, and its building on Boundline Road, part of Wolcott's historic district, needed repairs.

Things to do in Hong Kong
For an authentic Chinese experience, plan to visit Sik Sik Yuen Wong Tai Sin Temple, which commemorates the life of the famed monk Wong Tai Sin who went on to became a deity. This temple is unique in that it pays homage to three different religions: Buddhism, Confucianism, and Taoism. Your visit will afford you a glimpse into the daily life of the traditional Chinese people.
For a dose of something a little more outdoorsy, Ocean Park in Hong Kong is a marine life theme park that covers more than 870,000 square meters on the southern side of the island.
If you're visiting with children and looking for fun things to do in Hong Kong, Disney Land Hong Kong is an obvious choice. From Toy Story Land to Space Mountain, you're bound to find something the whole gang will enjoy.
Finally, Hong Kong is known as the "Hollywood of the East," and pays tribute to the stars that helped the city earn that title. Also consider visiting the Avenue of the Stars, set in front of the Peak.

Discretionary-focused funds like XLY and the SPDR S&P Retail ETF (XRT) may be in store for the strongest upside action, in the event that the clouds looming over the global marketplace clear. Unfortunately, the likelihood of a bump-free ride up is slim. Aggressive investors may want to consider trying their luck here, but those wary of turbulence will likely be better off venturing into the inherently safer staples.
The XLP provides investors with one-stop-shop exposure to top staples names. Nevertheless, the fund needs to be approached carefully. Top holdings like Proctor & Gamble (PG), Coca-Cola (KO) and Phillip Morris (PM) represent the bulk of the fund's portfolio and will therefore direct much of its day-to-day action.

In addition, with earnings season now in full force, many of these large positions may see an uptick in volatility. This week, for instance, Proctor & Gamble, PepsiCo (PEP) and Altria (MO) need to be monitored closely.Investors will continue to face challenges on the road ahead as major global players combat against looming macroeconomic crises. While nerve-wracking, now is not the time to flee. There is still strength to be found in this market and with patience and a level head, it is possible to overcome these hurdles.

No action was taken by
Bamberg County Council at the
Tuesday, January 25, 2011
special meeting. The purpose of
the meeting was for County
Council to meet jointly with the
Bamberg County Hospital
Board Finance Committee to
discuss a legal/contractual
matter concerning the Bamberg
County Hospital.
Rose Dobson-Elliot, the
administrator for the County
said no action was taken.
During a telephone interview
with this reporter, Dobson-
Elliott said the status of the
hospital is basically unknown.
We discussed a lot of things. A
lot of people in the community
are saying things that are not
true. We have not made any
decisions about anything, she
said. The 5:00 p.m. special
meeting adjourned at 6:45 p.m.
Almost all of that time was spent
in executive session. We received updates from Richard
Ness (county attorney), and Alan
Townsend and Christ
Mattingly. Townsend and
Mattingly represent the
management group of the
Financial Resources Group who
is the interim management
group for the hospital.
The county administrator is
asking the public to exercise
patience while county council
moves through the process.
Once we progress far enough,
there will still have to be public
hearings and meetings. There is
a public process to follow. We
cant just make decisions
without the involvement of the
public, noted Dobson-Elliott.
Dobson-Elliott does want
the community to know that all
three counties (Bamberg,
Barnwell and Allendale) are
very much in support of a tricounty
health care program.
We believe it (tri-county health
care) will improve our health
care system, she said. A
Bamberg County Council
meeting is scheduled for
Monday, January 31. However,
Dobson-Elliot does not
anticipate a discussion
concerning this matter to take
place during that meeting. She
said the matter is not on the
agenda and no one has given her
any indication that they plan to
add it to the agenda.

Recently by Bob Bauman: Ten Years Later… We're Still Paying the Price
Rarely in my long life's experience have two news items been published on the same day that demonstrated such palpable irony.
The two stories that appeared in The New York Times last Friday (Sept. 30) and when read together, they present a sharp incongruity and discordance that far exceeds the simple and evident intention of the words and actions recounted.
Due Process: 1945
Item #1: In a column entitled "The Nuremberg Scripts" Joe Nocera told how, in November 1945, six months after Nazi Germany's surrender to the victorious Allies, a 24-year-old Army combat engineer named Harold Burson was handed a new assignment: daily reports on the Nuremberg trial of the top Nazis leaders for the American Armed Forces Radio Network. For the next five months, Burson was one of two soldiers who reported on the trial and produced a daily "script," read over the air by the AFRN announcers.
Mr. Burson, who is 90 now, is the co-founder of Burson-Marsteller, one of the world's largest public relations firms, says that every five years or so, he goes back and re-reads those old scripts, marveling at the remarkable experience he'd been afforded at such a young age.
Nocera says there was an aspect to Burson's scripts he "…found quite endearing. They have an earnest, idealistic quality that reminds you just how full of hope America was after World War II.
"Though we had fought a brutal war, we were determined to act generously to the vanquished. That even applied to the Nazi brass who had committed reprehensible crimes against humanity. "G.I.'s have one stock question," reads Burson's very first 1945 script. "Why can't we just take them out and shoot 'em? We know they're guilty."
Due Process: 2011
Item #2: In a "news analysis" in the same Times edition, Scott Shane reported: "The killing of Anwar al-Awlaki, an American citizen struck on Friday by a missile fired from a drone aircraft operated by his own government, instantly reignited a difficult debate over terrorism, civil liberties and the law."
In a statement my former U.S. House of Representatives colleague, Rep. Ron Paul, said President Obama was "appointing himself judge, jury and executioner by presidential decree" and was acting outside "the Constitution or the rule of law" He added: "Awlaki was a U.S. citizen. Under our Constitution, American citizens, even those living abroad, must be charged with a crime before being sentenced." He suggested the president could be impeached for the killing.
"In any way destroyed…"
The Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, one of the most important protections in our Bill of Rights says in part: "No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury…nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law…"
The United States Supreme Court has held: "It is now the settled doctrine of this Court that the Due Process Clause embodies a system of rights based on moral principles so deeply imbedded in the traditions and feelings of our people as to be deemed fundamental to a civilized society as conceived by our whole history. Due Process is that which comports with the deepest notions of what is fair and right and just." Solesbee v. Balkcom, 339 U.S. 9, 16 (1950);' Snyder v. Massachusetts, 291 U.S. 97, 105 (1934).
The concept of due process goes all the way back to Magna Carta, (1215) in which King John promised that "[n]o free man shall be taken or imprisoned or disseized or exiled or in any way destroyed…except by the lawful judgment of his peers or by the law of the land."
Pressed to justify the constitutional law professor/president's open defiance of the Fifth Amendment in ordering the murder of a U.S. citizen without trial, the White House press secretary refused to respond. As the Washington Post put it, "The administration officials refused to disclose the exact legal analysis used to authorize targeting Aulaqi, or how they considered any Fifth Amendment right to due process."
Glen Greenwald said it: "That is the mindset of the U.S. Government and its followers expressed as vividly as can be: we can spy on, imprison, or even kill anyone we want – including citizens – without any due process or any evidence shown, simply because we will tell you they are Bad People, and you will trust us and believe us."
Deeply Embedded Hypocrisy
A writer from Bangor, Maine commented: "…we target and kill an American citizen without trial. I'm not saying this man's actions didn't deserve punishment. But why even bother to pretend anymore? Why bother? Maybe with Obama's latest drone kill we can let the hypocrisy go. But remember, Americans. Remotely-controlled drones can fly and kill over American cities just as easily as they can fly and kill over Yemen."
Ask yourself this question: In the 66 years from the Nuremberg Trial 1945 to the White House 2011, what has happened to America's belief in what the Supreme Court described as those "moral principles so deeply imbedded in the traditions and feelings of our people as to be deemed fundamental to a civilized society…"
The next time you hear what sounds like a small plane flying overhead, look up. If the president decides you are one of those Bad People, it might be the last thing you ever see.

YHC01 - A Lotus Leaf CenterpiecePrice: $180.00
Designed by Gary Chang, 2012.
By Alessi.
"A Lotus Leaf" reveals designer Gary Chang's intention to use the shapes of nature, keeping the "design" aspect to a minimum. The lotus leaf, taken from an ancient Summer Palace and then left to dry out for six months, was run through a three-dimensional scanner and then slightly modified to obtain firmer geometric supports. It was then transformed into a mold to produce the steel "copy" that is the tray itself.
The tray can be used on both sides, offering two different ways of holding and serving. The complex ribbing of the lotus leaf enhances the textured quality and reflections of the mirror polished 18/10 stainless steel, with a processing that fully matches the high standards of Alessi production. A part of the "(Un)Forbidden City" project. White and Black colors are steel colored with epoxy resin.
Material(s): 18/10 stainless steel
Dimensions: 17.75" W X 16.25" D X 2.5" H
Designer: Yung Ho Chang
Originally from Beijing and educated both in China and in the U.S., Chang received Master of Architecture degree from the University of California at Berkeley in 1984. He has been practicing in China since 1992 and established Atelier Feichang Jianzhu (FCJZ) in 1993. He has won a number of prizes, such as First Place in the Shinkenchiku Residential Design Competition in 1987, a Progressive Architecture Citation Award in 1996, the 2000 UNESCO Prize for the Promotion of the Arts, and the Academy Award in Architecture from American Academy of Arts and Letters in 2006. He has published eight books and monographs and has participated in many international exhibitions of art and architecture, including five times in the Venice Biennale since 2000. He has taught at various architecture schools in the U.S. and China; he was a Professor and Founding Head of Graduate Center of Architecture at Peking University from 1999 to 2005; he held the Kenzo Tange Chair at Harvard in 2002 and the Eliel Saarinen Chair at Michigan in 2004.View other products by Yung Ho Chang
Manufacturer: Alessi
Alessi. Art and Poetry.
Alessi is a family owned Italian design company, founded in 1921. Giovanni Alessi, a talented sheet metal worker, produced items by hand for the table and home out of copper, brass and nickel-silver. He was later joined by his son Carlo who was responsible for many of the designs produced in the 1930s and early 1940s. In the mid 1940s Alessi began to work with outside designers. The current Alessi catalog is the result of a collaboration with over 500 designers from all over the world.
"A true work of design must be able to move people, to convey feelings, to trigger memories, to surprise, to go against the grain. From this point of view, design intended to conjure up images in people's minds, which makes them a bit happier, still has tremendous potential." — Alberto AlessiView other products from Alessi

Owen O'Neill is Cookstown's Comedy King
Owen O'Neill is Cookstown's Comedy King
Emma O'Neill
meets the Tyrone writer who has found international acclaim
Updated: 05/09/2008
LISTEN to
Francis Jones
in conversation with Owen O'Neill:
growing up in NI
, on being
immune to embarrassment
, and find out if he's ever
gone too far
This interview is part of the CultureNorthernIreland
Owen O'Neill is one of Ireland's top stand-up comedians. His performances are witty, observant and he has a clear talent for creating instant characters, with finely tuned accuracy. Mix this with genuine acting ability and you have a real recipe for success.
In addition to stand-up, O'Neill is a writer, actor and poet. Born in Cookstown, Co Tyrone, he has spent the past 25 years entertaining thousands across the world with his animated, thought provoking, observational and energetic performances.
As a stand-up comedian, he has travelled extensively, taking in places including Bahrain, Hong Kong, Bali, Melbourne, New Zealand, Toronto and the United States.
O'Neill is an accomplished actor and performed in London's West End at the end of March for a 10-week stint as Dale Harding in
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
, alongside Hollywood actor Christian Slater.
Rubbing shoulders with Hollywood's finest is nothing new for O'Neill, whose film credits include
Michael Collins
Mickybo and Me
Much Ado about Nothing
O'Neill's first taste of the arts was in 1981 when he entered a poetry competition for BBC Radio 4 and won first prize. His award involved reciting his poems for award-winning poet, playwright and broadcaster Roger McGough in Chiswick Town Hall, London.
Even his earliest work set him aside as unique, laced with his wry sense of humour and eccentric accounts of Rastafarian 'Bill and Ben the Flowerpot Men'. Comedy came effortlessly.
'My poems got a few laughs, it was easy really, so I kind of got the bug from there'.
From 1983 he started to blend poetry with comedy on a more frequent basis and began to make a steady income from stand up, becoming a regular on the comedy circuit from then on.
O'Neill is a regular visitor to the Edinburgh Festival where his one-man plays have won critical acclaim with the Perrier nomination in 1995, the Edinburgh Critic's Award for best comedy in 1996 and the LWT Writer's Award for best comedy in 1998.
His play
Off My Face
is a semi-autobiographical show about alcoholism and how he confronted it. The sequel,
It Was Henry Fonda's Fault
, describes a childhood obsession with Hollywood, thanks to an ageing and misleading cinema projectionist.
My Son the Footballer
recounts the obsessions of football-mad Danny Mulligan, who attempts to vicariously live his footballing dreams through his son.
So far this year O'Neill has been busy adapting five of his plays for BBC Radio 4, which were based on his one-man shows from Edinburgh.
'They were adapted specifically for the radio, which was quite difficult. It was a real challenge to cut them down to half-hour shows and to ensure you captured the essence of what they are about.'
O'Neill has recently returned from Montreal's Just for Laughs Comedy festival and has penned a play which was performed at the Edinburgh Festival in August.
To the Left of Me
was based on two clowns - one old, one young, and was set in the dressing room of a circus.
With so many strings to his bow, O'Neill describes himself first as a writer but admits he likes to experiment with different genres.
'To be honest,' he confesses, 'I like to keep my fingers in all the pies and keep in tune with different things. I like to chop and change. I like to be on stage performing but also I sometimes like to explore different topics through written material.'
O'Neill possesses a talent for storytelling as well as vast experience of writing for stage and TV.
'I find my inspiration from my past, my childhood, and personal experiences. Most of my plays are autobiographical to some extent.' His material combines real life experiences and witty personal observations with touches of real poignancy.
His latest work,
Chasing My Tale
, re-invents some of the best moments from each of his acclaimed shows. O'Neill's exaggerated, heartfelt, and hilarious accounts of his life have audiences laughing in the aisles.

OPP responds to barricaded person incident in St. Clair TownshipLambton County — By JD Booth on January 13, 2012 at 10:33 am
Lambton OPP says it is investigating a barricaded person incident that occurred in the 900 block of White Line around 6:30 p.m. Thursday (Jan. 12) at 6:30 p.m.
When police were called to check on the well being of a 44-year-old St. Clair Township man, he initially refused to come out or speak to police but has since surrendered.
The West Region Tactics and Rescue Unit (TRU), West Region Emergency Response Team (ERT), and West Region Canine were called in to assist with the investigation.
In the interest of public safety, police closed White Line between Highway 40 and Indian Creek Road for several hours overnight. The local residents were also notified of the situation.
White Line is expected to remain closed while OPP continues the investigation. OPP is asking people to avoid the area while it works to resolve the incident
