Maj. Erik Aubel said he is not sure how long Americans will be in Afghanistan, but one thing is for sure, his Marine Wing Support Squadron 271 will be ready to deploy again and again no matter where the hot spot is.
"Marines train to deploy. That's what our job is," said Aubel, detachment commander. "So whether or not it's the end to Afghanistan, that's way above our pay grade to say, so all we're worried about is this deployment, these seven months and doing the best job that we can."
Aubel left as leader of a group of more than 100 Marines from MWSS-271 bound for Afghanistan on Saturday morning.
"I think every deployment we go to we never expect it to be the last one because once Afghanistan was done there was Iraq before that," Aubel said. "There was northern Africa before that. Africa is heating up. Syria's going crazy. North Korea's out there. There's a whole bunch of countries where there's weird stuff going on. Hugo Chavez passed away last week. Who knows what's happening down there. We may be down in the Caribbean doing stuff. The war on drugs is never won.
"Who knows what else is going on, so Marines are always ready for the next deployment. We don't worry about this one being the last one because we know that there's always going to be more."
Aubel said goodbye to his wife and three children before leaving the base.
"The big thing today is saying goodbye to the families and getting on the road and heading over the Afghanistan to accomplish the mission," Aubel said. "It's always the hardest part, saying goodbye to your kids and saying goodbye to your wife and of course making sure we've done everything for them we can before we leave because once we get over there, we're not going to be able to help out that much."
The commander said that about 70 percent of the Marines leaving Saturday were making their first deployment.
"It's going to be a new adventure and a brand new experience," said Cpl. Clay Smith, who was leaving his wife on his first deployment.
Cpl. Salvadore Fonseca, also beginning a first-time deployment, said goodbye to his wife and daughter.
"It's something that I've been wanting to do for a while," he said of the deployment. "It's the reason I joined. I volunteered for this though. It will be alright. Seven months will fly by. We're used to being separated now and then. As long as I get to go, that's the reason I joined. I'll be happy."
Sgt. Troy Barndt predicted a good deployment.
"It's a pretty tight unit," he said. "We're real close and care a lot about each other. I love doing what I do. I love helping people. I love leading Marines."
Sgt. William Stonebraker was deploying for the third time, leaving his wife and 7-year-old son.
"It's the same as the other two, but this time it's hard on me because I'm leaving my family and stuff like that," the aircraft mechanic said. "That's the hardest thing is leaving the family. I have the one son. It's going to be hard for him. We've had a better bond now. My first two, he was 1 or 2 years old, and now he's a little bit older and he knows what's going on so it's a little bit harder, because he's more functional, you know. It's a little bit harder.
"It's hard. I was getting dressed this morning and I was sitting on the bed crying my eyes out, but you really can't let him see me doing that crying thing. You've got to be tough. You've got to stay strong. It's hard. Deep down inside it's hard. You've just got to deal with it in your own way."
The job of the unit is to support the operations of the 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing, also based at Cherry Point, whatever that job may be.
"We're the unusual guys," Aubel said. "We're the ones you usually never hear about. We're the ones that make sure the food is served, that corpsmen are there to render first aid, that gas is flowing, that water's available, all the things that nobody thinks about day to day. When you go to the grocery store, we make all those things happen so that you can get to the grocery store and can get back.
"Nobody really knows that we exist until something goes wrong and then they're worried about who handles their A/C, their heat, their water, their food, all that kind of stuff, so our job is to be unseen but at the same time make sure that everything is happening so that 2nd MAW gets everything they need."
Aubel has been with MWSS 271 for three years.
"These are some of the greatest guys I've ever worked with, some of the consummate professionals right down to the lowest ranks," he said. "Things that these 19- and 20-year olds do, most people would not expect 30- to 40-year olds to know in how professional and knowledgeable they are."

GRAND PRAIRIE—Dogs at Grand Prairie's Prairie Paws Animal Shelter, 2222 W. Warrior Trail, have a better place to play and meet their new owners thanks to hard working Triumph Aerostructures-Vought Aircraft Division employees. A group of volunteers from Triumph Vought's Local UAW 848 and the company's maintenance staff installed metal shade, and seating structures in the outdoor exercise area behind the shelter, as well as crushed aggregate pathways in the outdoor dog play areas. Triumph Vought donated $5,000 for the project, and employees constructed five high quality metal frames for the shade structures with corrugated metal roofs and redwood benches.
"Every year we do a community project in Grand Prairie, even though our plant sits in Dallas," said Jayson Gambrell from Triumph Vought. "Our community projects double as a team building event."
The city of Grand Prairie's Prairie Paws Adoption Center is open Tuesday-Saturday for pet adoptions. For more information about the shelter, visit www.gptx.org/paws or call 972-237-8575.

Use the Warmoth Builder to design a body or neck just the way you want it. View every option we offer and spec your build down to the last detail.
The Builder guides you step-by-step and makes customizing your guitar or bass parts easy.
The Warmoth Showcase lets you view photos and buy from our current selection of bodies and necks. We stock a large range of options so there
is a good chance what you're looking for is already there. It's the quickest and cheapest way to get the parts you need.
Our Vintage Modern neck combines vintage-Fender®-style neck design with modern refinements that improve playability and convenience. There is no finer neck of this type on the market. Features include:
Warmoth Vintage Modern necks use a single truss rod design. The rod is attached to a fixed anchor at the heel end of the neck. An anchored adjustment nut at the other end is accessible through an opening at the headstock. The rod sits in a concave channel within the neck, and is installed through a long opening in the back on both one and two piece necks. Once installed in its channel the rod takes a slightly curved or bowed position.
As the adjustment nut is tightened the anchor and nut, unable to pass through the narrow channel ends, begin to exert inward compression on the neck wood. The end of the rod is drawn outwards, and the center upwards towards a staight line. When the nut is loosened the rod relaxes back towards its neutral bowed position.
Characteristics of the Vintage Modern neck include:
Over twenty years ago Warmoth pioneered the concept of a conical playing surface. The idea was to keep the lower registers of the
fingerboard with a rounder feel, more comfortable for chording and rhythm playing but at the same time to flatten the high registers
for easier string bending. The compound radius accomplishes this with a continuously flattening radius beginning with a 10 inch
radius at the string nut to a 16 inch radius at the 22nd fret. This compound radius isn't something that feels readily apparent to the
playing hand in any noticeable way other than the fact that it is very comfortable to play on. With a professional set-up, these
necks play exceptionally well.
A fingerboard with 22 frets is considered the industry "standard" for the last few decades and sports the typical 1/4" overhang off the end of the heel. This has always been the standard spec for our Vintage Modern series.
(Vintage Modern Tele® neck shown)
A fingerboard with 21 frets is considered a "vintage" spec, where the fingerboard is flush with the neck heel. You may have one less fret to play on but you will find that taking off and putting on a pickguard is much easier without the the fingerboard overhang.
Just add the prices shown below to the ones in the table above to pick the actual piece of wood used for your fingerboard! Make sure to include the fingerboard number with your order.

About Sudan
Sudan was the largest country in Africa and the Arab world until 2011, when South Sudan became an independent country. It sits at the crossroads of sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East, with fertile lands, abundant livestock and natural resources. Since independence in 1956, Sudan has faced highly complex development challenges, but is key to stability of the region.

Please explain why being molested as a child would turn a boy into a gay man? If we are all naturally heterosexual (as you suggest), then surely being molested by another, larger male would turn a child anti-gay when he grew up. I do realize that the trauma a girl would experience in being molested by a man could turn her against being attracted to men when she becomes a woman, but why would it necessarily turn her into a lesbian?
Why would having repeated gay sex with a man make you gay? Well, why would repeatedly using drugs make you a drug addict?
Sweet Jesus… Roger, this is such bad, biased thinking… You are presuming that drug addiction and homosexuality are analogous, as if it were a matter of fact that homosexual orientation were an addiction. It isn't, no more than heterosexual orientation were an addiction. The fact that you think homosexuality were an addiction is evidence of your own sexual insecurity. What, do you think that once you try it you won't be able to go back? Do you think once you experience the euphoria of gay sex, you won't be able to give it up? Third, I am no expert on drug addiction, since being the good boy that I am, I never tried any drugs, but I understand drug addiction is the result of some chemical reactions in the brain and the release of endorphins. I knew I was gay LONG before I ever had gay sex. I was attracted to men long before I ever had sex with men. Fourth, you are arguming that the trauma of being molested as a child would make one gay, but as evidence you provide not another scenario that involves a traumatic experience, but being high, which, I understand, is pleasurable! I mean, this is exactly the opposite kind of evidence than what you need to strenghten your case.
It's hard to say why or how sexual abuse makes someone turn gay.
It's not just hard to say why or how. It has not even been established THAT sexual abuse makes one gay. You continue to presume that this is an established fact. You continue to invoke your own extremely limited personal experience in the matter, you continue to invoke anecdotal evidence. Being an atheist, one would expect you to know how unreliable such evidence is. Yet, you cling on to your opinion because you are simply looking for ways of justifying your own view. You don't care about what is true. You just want to believe what you want to believe AND feel good about it, AND feel that you are justified in your hatred of homosexuality.
You obviously didn't get it eventhough I explained it thoroughly. Babies are of course born gendered, but there is an attraction assigned to each gender which should be for the opposite sex (and is in ninety some percent of people).
Well, in a world in which babies were indeed designed by an intelligent designer, one might expect people to be assigned a sexual orientation that "makes sense". But you are forgetting that nature / evolution is not directed by any kind of intelligence. There are all kinds of things in nature that do not "make sense". They happen because they can. Kiwis have wings. Our eyes have blind spots. Men have nipples. Unless these things actually harm our survival, there is no reason why they would be eliminated through evolution. Again, please remind yourself that nature is not an intelligent designer. You keep talking about how everyone SHOULD be assigned an attraction to the opposite sex. That is your logical error. Nature is not an intelligent designer, not does it have an intelligent director. If it did, one might expect all people to be deisgned to be attracted to members of the opposite sex. But it doesn't. Homosexuality happens because it can happen. It is a part of human sexual varience. There is no reason for evolution to eliminate it.

Attorney Gary Prolman's sentencing: sometimes 2 years in federal prison is kind of a win
Attorney Gary Prolman was sentenced last week to 24 months in federal prison. The sentence was for laundering $177,000 in proceeds from a marijuana trafficking conspiracy. The money came from a guy named David Jones who was the head of the trafficking operation. Prolman took cash from Jones and invested it in his fledgling sports agency business, a real estate deal and another joint investment fund. In this earlier post, I linked […]CONTINUE READING

Chiasson was co founder of Level Global Investors a hedge fund which had $4 billion under management until this case shut the fund down.

Elonis v. U.S.: Is this the end for Maine's terrorizing law?
Yesterday, the United States Supreme Court heard oral argument in Elonis v. United States, a case considering the intersection between threats and free speech. The case centers on angry Facebook posts that Anthony Elonis wrote after his marriage fell apart. Those posts got him convicted of violating a federal law that prohibits using interstate communications to threaten another person. He was sentenced to 44 months in prison. His lawyers now argue that […]Continue Reading

Missouri and Maine police use of force laws: when is deadly force justified?
A St. Louis grand jury has been considering evidence against Darren Wilson, the Ferguson Missouri police officer who fatally shot Michael Brown. The grand jury is expected to announce their decision any second now so I thought I would take a look at Missouri's law-enforcement use of force law and compare it to Maine's. In some important ways, Maine's law gives police a broader justification and a bit more deference […]Continue Reading

46,000 prisoners to be resentenced under reduced Federal drug guidelines
The blog has been on accidental hiatus in recent weeks while me and some friends opened a new law firm. I'm back, and plan to be posting regularly once again. In April, the United States Sentencing Commission approved the 2014 Federal Sentencing Guidelines.

Posse Comitatus? How a military investigation set a child pornographer free
The Posse Comitatus Act is an 1878 federal law that prohibits the military from doing domestic law enforcement. The act doesn't come up that much and defendants seldom actually win because of it. That's why I was surprised to see the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals decision in United States v. Dreyer. The court found a Posse Comitatus violation and tossed out the child pornography that sent Michael Dreyer to prison for 18 […]Continue Reading

The G-Form Elbow Pad provides form fitting protection for all day excursions out on the trails. G-Form uses RPT™ - Reactive Protection Technology, a blend of Poron® XRD™ and proprietary G-Form materials and technology. RPT give you a protective material that is progressive, meaning it gets tougher as the impact increases. It will also keep protecting you after repeated impacts without losing any of its protective qualities.
RPT Technology in the G-Form Elbow Pad also keeps the pad light and comfortable and protects your elbows on rides where you may not want downhill type protection that may be too bulky. The protective exo-skeleton is hinged to remain flexible and not restrict the movement of your arms . The protective element is attached to a compression fabric in order to keep it close to the body to insure that your protection does not move away from your key areas. The G-Form Elbow Pads can be worn in warm or cold weather, on top or underneath clothing.

Comments about G-Form Elbow Pads:
I ordered according to the size guide and it seemed to fit okay, but on the trail it slipped down. I quickly learned that you can't wear it like illustrated in the pic if you mountain bike, since you bend your arms so much. Putting that circle on your elbow cap causes the pad to lift and pull, and create a loose spot that allows slipping. To get it to not slip, I just wear it a little lower.
Protection is minimal. The pad is minimal, after all, so don't expect miracles. The nylon spandex material is prone to tearing, and will likely get shredded when you crash. I've fell a few times with them on and got by with a few scratches, but they were minimal and relatively clear of debris, with only a few fingertip sized holes in the fabric.
It feels like an arm warmer and protects from the sun. It's bearable during the summer and there isn't any real excuse not to use it during cooler temps. If you do downhill, especially if you take a shuttle or lift to the top, opt for something heavier duty, perhaps body armor with elbow/forearm pads connected to it (which reduces slipping). Better to wear this during riding, than to wear a big bandage everywhere else if you crash, and the cost is far less than the cost of a few stitches.
That all said, there's nothing else like it. It's lightweight protection that offers a degree of protection that's far better than nothing, and better than anything else in the market that is similarly low profile. G-Form is in a class of its own.
Best Uses
Comments about G-Form Elbow Pads:
I've been wearing these this season and have had a few opportunities to test them out by way of involuntary dirt samples. After my wrecks, I've hopped up virtually injury-free (in my most recent crash, I got a bit of road-rash where the padding didn't cover) and been able to see exactly where I impacted on the pad. I know my experience would have ended much worse if not for the protection provided by these pads.
I do a lot of XC/AM riding and the padding seems adequate for most of what I do. I would definitely not recommend them for downhill or anything where big impacts are possible. I don't think the padding is enough to absorb an impact from that type of riding.
They're light-weight, breathable and the fabric is comfortable, so wearing them doesn't interfere with your maneuverability like some other pads I've worn do. I usually bunch them up, throw them in my pack and put them on for the descent.
My only real complaint would be the build quality. I've seen where a few spots of the stitching have started to come undone and I have a spot where the non-padded fabric tore in my latest impact. These complaints are minimal and will not prevent me from purchasing or recommending these pads to someone.

Mr. Mody…
Cleary you don't understand evolution OR barbarism. According to you, ANYTHING that has evolved is there for a reason that HELPS and is BENEFICIAL and should not be ALTERED, because that would be BARBARIC. This is very similar thinking to dogmatic religion. Evolution is NOT scripture or liturgy. Nor is it always beneficial, since many distinct forces are evolving simultaneously and sometimes wind up at cross purposes. Finally, evolution is not limited to bodily tissue. Societies, ideas, customs…all evolve in similar ways to our bodies, and for the same reason. An often ephemeral survival value.
Religions, which I find fallacious and damaging, also arose via evolution, and whether the beliefs and customs have survival value today is debatable. I wouldn't rule it out. Same goes for circumcision. Most women in my cultural group would not have wanted a man who was uncut, nor would they tolerate having a son who's father insisted he was uncut. Is this a testament to the shallow conformity of most people today? Yes. But does evolution favor such conformity right now? Apparently so.
Barbarism is relative. You have no moral high ground when you attack circumcision, clitoris removal, or maiming of any kind. No more than a praying mantis who eats the head of her mate. What you do have is merely the right to exert your opinion and fight against something you feel is aesthetically displeasing—this concept of cutting something from an unconsenting baby. But you do so at your peril, because there are powerful forces behind these practices. Also, you risk wasting an inordinate amount of time…fueled by the questionable percept that it matters at all, fueled by FAITH that this tiny piece of skin matters one iota.
A much more appealing battle is the one Sam Harris wages. It's a broad attack against forces that rob us of reality and life. Circucision, in contrast, seems tiny in comparison. Also, one might attack education for "circumcizing" excellence by forcing students into narrow roles and institutions, robbing many of them of their greater potentials.

I now have conclusive proof that I'm not imagining it: There is an international conspiracy to get me to eat squid. Before you say, "You should try it breaded and dipped in spicy sauce!" or "You haven't tried had my Thai-style squid!" – I should let you know that I've installed a special filter on the site that bans the words "You should…" or "You don't know what you're missing" just to save folks the trouble.
I was invited to a Chinese lunch, cooked by Da Dong, who is considered one of the best chefs in China. Because I'm from San Francisco, Asian food feels like it's part of my culture and although more and more good Asian places are opening in Paris, I still miss digging my chopsticks into salt & pepper crab or a big pile of fresh pea shoots sautéed in chicken fat. Paris was a horrible, horrendous mess – one of those crummy days when the wind is blowing sideways, deep puddles are everywhere, and the heavy rain just refuses to stop blasting away at you, and the entire city. I felt sorry for all the tourists lined up in the watery blitz to visit the monument, because just one lone elevator was operating as the rest in the tower were out-of-service.
Fortunately when I reached the Eiffel Tower, there was a canopy for refuge for restaurant patrons and the elevator to the restaurant was functioning fine. I was happy to be inside and making my way up, with a spectacular view of Paris, and ready for a Chinese feast. Lunch was sure to be a bit more refined than the family style Chinese fare that I often wolf down with pals, but I was interested in tasting a few things that I was completely unfamiliar with. I am fairly astute when it comes to knowing ingredients, but I was thrown for a loop by most of what was served, and came face-to-face with my aforementioned nemesis.

Ronnie Creager, wearing a black, bent-billed ball cap, takes a seat on a stepstool inside his modest warehouse – a detached two-car garage tucked away on his property in Placentia.
Surrounding Creager, who is sipping decaf coffee and coughing sporadically – rest cardboard boxes, identified by a sequence of numbers. Some are stacked two, three high. Handfuls are open, revealing bevies of packaged white insoles – his signature line.
"I've wanted to do a company forever," admits the 39-year-old. "I've been a sponsored skater my whole life ... and I always wanted to be my own boss and do my own thing.
"I never really knew what or how to, though."
Creager has been a professional skateboarder since turning 18. He skated long before that, of course, while growing up in Orange.
"I didn't think that I deserved it, being pro," says Creager, who began his career with Foundation Skateboards. "You had to be good, and I couldn't keep up with all the people that I saw in my head as pro; this elite group of skaters."
To Creager's right sits a 4-foot-high sticker machine. It cost nearly $5,000.
"This is the warehouse," Creager says. "I'm the shipping manager, the customer service, the public relations; this is where I come out to ship everything out."
Once, it was all about skateboarding. In one contest alone, long ago, he made $20,000. Now, skateboarding is his job, although a more traditional one. Etcetera is Creager, the promoter, and friend Marty Shadoan, the designer. The 2-year-old company is grossing $10,000 a month.
"I want to get Etcetera as big as I can," Creager says. "I'll skateboard my whole life, until I can't anymore, but I want to have a desk job when my career is over."
He has skated since he was 3, through El Modena High and Richland Continuation High in Orange, where he earned his diploma.
"I didn't ditch school all the time, but skating was what I wanted to be doing," Creager says. "I was just going to school because I had to. ... All I wanted to do was skate. I'd skate to school, and when school got out I was out on my board, out with friends, skating, trying tricks."
Creager, an expectant father and fiancée, gets up to rummage around his warehouse in search of the seven different skateboarding products Etcetera sells. The biggest sellers are insoles, which skaters slip into their shoes to protect their vulnerable arches. His signature insole lists at $21.95.
"We're just trying to make stuff that all these companies in skateboarding haven't touched," Creager said. "We jumped on it because we knew what people needed. ... All the stuff we make is for problems that I've seen in skateboarding."
Creager – these days sponsored by Blind Skateboards along with a host of other clothing sponsors – still remembers seeing his first personalized board on Foundation – a fun rendition of the Trix rabbit eating a bowl of Trix with dead bodies sprawled about in the background.

Results vs. Limestone (2006-09-09 14:00:00)
September 9, 2006Misenheimer, NC--- Pfeiffer(4-2,1-0) won their third straight game by defeating Limestone(2-2-3,0-1) 4-0 in CVAC women's soccer action Saturday afternoon. This was the third shutout in a row for the Falcons. Pfeiffer came out fast and only a great save by the Saint's goalie kept Laura Crews from scoring on the fifth minute. Limestone's defense settled down and the next twenty minutes was a mid-field battle. The Falcons broke through in the 26th minute when a nice feed by Michelle Vaudreuil sent Crews on a breakaway where she calmly slipped the ball past the goalie for a 1-0 lead. The rest of the half was back and forth but there were no real good scoring opportunities for either club and the half ended at 1-0. Limestone came out in the second half and in the first minute Erin Hoffman hit the crossbar with a shot but it bounced over the goal. After that the Falcons scored three goals in six minutes to put the game away. In the 49th minute, Katrina Salem took a pass from Crews, turned and put it past the goalie from 20 yards out. Two minutes later Crews took a cross from Vaudreuil and put it between the goalies legs for goal number three. Vaudreuil scored the final goal in the 55th minute. On a corner from Maria Reis, Vaudreuil headed the ball back across the goal into the far side netting.Soccer Box Score (Final) Limestone vs pfeiffer (Sep 09, 2006 at Misenheimer, NC)

DNC: Hey, sorry about attacking Ann Romney in that last ad
posted at 2:41 pm on July 19, 2012 by Ed Morrissey
It's not exactly a state secret that Ann Romney works with horses as both a passion and physical therapy for her multiple sclerosis. Democrats attacked the Romneys for her dressage horses two months ago, and MSNBC host Larry O'Donnell tried it again last month, earning a sharp rebuke from Neil Cavuto. The DNC launched its own dressage attack this week with a new ad titled "Mitt Dancing Around The Issues Volume I" that featured Ann Romney's horse:
The "issues," by the way, are all about Mitt Romney's money. Here are "issues" that the DNC apparentlytakes no interest: jobs, the economy, the national debt, the coming entitlement collapse, and so on. No, the only "issues" that interest Democrats are the issues of envy — Romney's tax returns, his investments, and Ann Romney's horse.
Last night, just hours after releasing this ad, the DNC had a change of heart … kind of:
It seemed like a good idea at the time, but now the Democratic National Committee is offering an apology of sorts to Ann Romney. …
Ann Romney, who trains with show horses as part of her therapy for multiple sclerosis, took offense in an interview with Robin Roberts on "Good Morning America," and now the DNC is saying it will put out no more horse videos, and is expressing regret for offending Ann Romney.
"Our use of the Romneys' dressage horse was not meant to offend Mrs. Romney in any way, and we regret it if it did," DNC spokesman Brad Woodhouse told ABC News. "We were simply making a point about Governor Romney's failure to give straight answers on a variety of issues in this race. We have no plans to invoke the horse any further to avoid misinterpretation."
Yes, I'm sure that the DNC was so clueless about politics that it had no inkling that the horses belonged to Ann Romney as part of her therapy before they cut that ad, despite its repeated mention in the media. After all, they are clueless enough to think that in a sinking economy and historically high unemployment and underemployment that the "issues" about which voters care most is that Romney's a rich dude with some horses. Looks like the Democratic Party and its leaders have some envy issues.

Staff report
November 20, 2013
Longtime Troup High School wrestling coach and teacher Dariel Daniel was killed Tuesday night in a head-on wreck in Upson County.
Daniel, 65, was driving back from a wrestling match in Thomaston for Long Cane Middle School. According to Tracey Watson, of the Department of Public Safety, at about 7:40 p.m. Daniel was traveling west on Ga. 74 in Upson County in a 2005 Toyota Camry and attempted to pass a vehicle on the left, which was stopped awaiting to make a left turn. Daniel then struck a Ford F-150 head-on. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
While he was the head wrestling coach at Troup, the team won nine team state championships before he retired following the 2002 season. He was an assistant coach in Allen, Texas, where he helped that team win a few state championships before he returned to LaGrange.
Scooter Weathers, the head wrestling coach at LaGrange High said he knew Daniel extremely well and also coached against him. Daniel also helped out at a wrestling camp that Weathers runs each year.
"He was a great coach, a great motivator," Weathers said. "He was one of the best coaches, bar none, in the state. All the state titles he won. He had his kids ready. His kids were hard-nosed and tough. He did a great job motivating."
Weathers said Daniel had a big heart, wanted what was best for his kids and did a lot of good things in the county.
"It was a shocker last night. To get that call last night, it was just gut-wrenching," he said. "He was just an amazing guy. He did a lot of things for a lot of kids, for a lot of people."
Many former colleagues and friends of Daniel expressed their sorrow on his Facebook page this morning.
Daniel ran for The Troup County School Board in 2012, and was defeated by incumbent Sheila Rowe.
The race between Sheila Rowe and Daniel was heated. Daniel had accused the board of wasteful spending and criticized incidents of violence and crime in schools.
Check with lagrangenews.com throughout the day for further information about Daniel. In tomorrow's Sports section of the LaGrange Daily News, Sports Editor Kevin Eckleberry will reflect on Daniel's career as a coach.

Belmont Abbey 1, King 1 — The Belmont Abbey women's soccer team dominated the stats, but ended up with a draw against visiting King University before a Homecoming crowd of 765.

Hello all,
I have a question regarding the American opportunity tax credit; specifically, it is regarding the calculation of qualified educational expenses. An example below shows my confusion:
Tuition for Fall2012 and Spring2013: $20,000
Room and board for Fall2012 and Spring2013: $10,000
Paid out of pocket in 2012: $30,000
In the above example, my qualified educational expenses is $20,000 since room and board doesn't apply. Ok, simple enough.
But in real life, it's not always like that.
Tuition for Fall2012 and Spring2013: $20,000
Room and board for Fall2012 and Spring2013: $10,000
Paid out of pocket in 2012: $20,000
Pad out of pocket in 2013: $10,000
So let's say you paid $20,000 in 2012 for Fall2102 semester and then $10,000 in 2013 for Spring2013 semester. In this case, i can't count the $10K that was paid in 2013. Where I'm confused is then how do I figure out my qualified educational expenses out of the $20,000? For instance,
Half-tuition (for Fall2012): $10,000
and Half room and board (for Fall2012): $5000
is only $15,000 and so that means that in 2012, I paid $5,000 for part of 2013 overall costs (tuition and room). So the question is what part of that $20,000 counts as qualified educational expense since I have to adjust for room and board? Do I just subtract $5,000 from the $20,000 and count $15,000 as qualified educational expenses? Or is it that it's $10,000 + ($5,000*0.67 = $3,350) = $13,350 as qualified educational expenses. The reason being that out of the $20,000 paid, $10,000 went to the Fall2012 tuition, $5,000 went to room and board Fall2012 (doesn't qualify), and the $5,000 that went towards Spring2013 is pro-rated according to the percentage that tuition makes up total costs (in this case $20,000 out of $30,000 or 2/3).
I know that the max is $4000 that you can claim, but for the sake of accurate record-keeping, I would like to know the right way to calculate this.

Just replaced our older Sharp model micro with this new GE JVM1540. After reading the reviews I was concerned about the noise level, but I have to say this micro is soooo much quieter than my old one. The vent fan is quiet as well as during the cooking process. The control panel was easy to learn, I didnt even need to read the manual. We defrosted meat and it came out perfect. Installation was easy. Read the manual about changing the vent from "recycling" the air to outside venting (if you have an direct vent to the outside)..we almost missed this option. So far so good. The only down side is the door design. The curved front looks a bit out of place against the straight line of the cabinets. But I can get used to that.

Owned for almost two years. finish is not durable, and unit failed, "control panel" needed replacement. For a top-line product to fail with moderate use in less than two year is unacceptable. Naturally, the five year warranty does not cover the control system.

Poor quality
By JackieM

Unit is 3 years Old and like another consumer had previously posted, the paint is chipping off the ceiling of the microwave.
Control panel failure
By Riko
from Chesapeake, VA, United States
The touch pad on the control panel lasted about 5 years. Not the quality I expected from GE.
Nice microwave faulty control panel
By jt1089
from Undisclosed
I bought the whole GE Cafe package for my kitchen in 2011. Was very happy till my control panel went out on my microwave. After reading other people's experience with GE I was not optimistic. I called GE's consumer advocate number in hope's they might replace the panel at no cost. To my surprise they are replacing the microwave installing the new one and taking the old one away at no charge. My model #CVM2072SM3SS GE's consumer advocate #1-800-386-1215 They have a replacement program for certain models. It restored my faith in GE had they not at least replaced my control panel I would have never bought another GE appliance but I will have no issue buying one in the future.
By sallyc

I bought this model about 3 years ago. Had problems with the touch screen after a years time. Two yeas after that the screen doesn't respond at all. I hope that's why GE doesn't make this model anymore. I expected more from GE and will look to buy a different brand Microwave brand in the future. To have a GE tech come to the house, diagnose and fix the problem is 100's of dollars. I've already wasted enough buyig this GE microwave.
Great customer service to replace after problem
By tlotan
from Valtimore
We bought this model microwave 4 years ago and experienced a touchpad failure, an apparent known defect in the model when it is placed over a range. We called GE customer service to report the malfunction and received prompt and very courteous attention (the representative even called me back when my cell phone disconnected us). She told us that GE has a program to replace these microwaves because of the known defect within the first 5 years and put in a request for us. We had a new microwave installed two days later, a similar Café model, but without the touchpad. We are extremely pleased that GE stands behind their products and will continue to give them our business.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Key pad stops working
By Mdub
It was a good microwave until the keypad stoped working. I would not buy this again.
Worked for only 3 years
By UtahRed
from Salt Lake City, UT, United States
Love the look of this microwave...so easy to keep clean but it lasted only 3 years and the keypad went out Fortunately they don't make them anymore but it's really sad because this could have been an awesome microwave. I would have highly recommended it otherwise. Too bad for you GE.
Message showing 'Keypad is Shorted'
By Postreader12
from Virginia, United States
It never worked well to begin with. I had a counter top GE microwave that was a workhorse. I gave it away to someone in perfect condition after using it for over 10 years. This one is another story. First time I saw the display of shorted keypad, I spoke to someone in GE and I did as they told me and it worked. Now it has been unplugged for so long, almost a week and I check at least once a day to see if it might work, but no luck. I think it's gone. A pity because it's less than 4 years.
Satisfactory resolution

I loved the microwave until the touch pad stopped working after 4 years. I contacted GE and was very happy with the resolution. I would buy GE products again.

It was the second round of the 5-A playoffs Friday night, and a step closer for eight teams in Mississippi to make it to Jackson. West Point and Ridgeland laid it all on the line to get to the North State title game on the field at Hamblin Stadium on the campus of West Point High School.
The Green Wave from the beginning had full control of the game on both sides of the ball. West Point was hitting on all cylinders and went on to victory beating the Ridgeland Titans, 56-21.
"Our kids played hard on both sides of the ball," commented Head Coach Chris Chambless about his team as a whole, "We had a lot of focus this week and need it again next week."
The offense looked almost unstoppable Friday night against the Titans. Tez Lane was spectacular as he carried the ball 9 times accumulating 167 yards on the ground along with four touchdowns. Aeris Williams carried the ball well getting 14 carries for 74 yards, but his major highlight came from a 99-yard kick-off return that opened the second-half. Along with the ground game, the Wave made massive gains throwing the ball when Lane hit Peair Howard for a 45 yard completion and T.J. Howard for a 66 yard touchdown pass. The West Point offense looks focused and will need to continue this momentum in the playoffs.
"We can put up some points," said Coach Chambless about his offense, "the guys know the game plan and stick to our bread and butter."
Along with the outstanding offensive performance, West Point's defense proved again they can be one of the toughest defenses in the state. Led by the likes of Ed Brown (4 sacks) and Freddie Reed on the defensive line, the Wave hounded the Titans the whole game. Dvanta Randle led the secondary of West Point delivering hard blows to the Ridgeland receiving corp. Ridgeland was only able to get six first downs all night, and found it hard to move the ball forward at times.
"Their [Ridgeland's] offense gets you into space," stated Coach Chambless, "as a defense we had to play responsible defense, which we did."
Ridgeland could not get anything started on their first drive going three and out after an Ed Brown sack at the Titan 4 yard line on third down. West Point took over the ball after Ridgeland's punt in good field position at the Titan's 49 yard line. It took just under three minutes and five plays for the Wave to find the end zone when Lane ran 14 yards for the score. Eric Lemus tacked on his first of eight successful PATs, and West Point led 7-0 at the 7:04 mark in the first. Once again the Titan's offense could not get much going as they had another three and out. The Wave started their drive at midfield with 5:49 on the clock. And West Point drove strong down the field again and found the end zone when Williams found the hole and ran for 13 yards and the touchdown. At the 2:42 mark in the first quarter, West Point led over Ridgeland 14-0. But Ridgeland finally found an answer when Titan quarterback Parker Loham took the read option, going 50 yards for a Titan touchdown. West Point still had control of the game at the end of the first, ahead 14-7.
The Titans were steamrolled in the second quarter with three touchdowns by the Wave. Another Lane 14 yard run with 7:35 resulted in a touchdown for the Green Wave bringing the score to 21-7. Lane, again, used his speed to break away from defenders going 58 yards for the West Point touchdown. West Point was sitting in the driver's seat leading, 28-7 with 1:58 in the first half. Coach Chambless and his staff used their timeouts well allowing the West Point offense one last possession before the end of the half. It only took one play though, Lane found a wide-open Minor who caught and ran the ball in for a 66 yard touchdown pass. The Wave extended their lead to 35-7 at the half.
And from the opening kick-off of the second half, West Point's Williams struck like lightning, going 99 yards for a touchdown on the return. The score now read in favor of the Wave 42-7. The third quarter ended without another score. The fourth quarter though lit up the scoreboard. Ridgeland's Gary Adams carried the ball for a 14 yard touchdown. The Titan touchdown was answered by Lane's final score, an elusive 50 yard run at the 8:22 mark bringing the score to 49-14. Ridgeland scored their final touchdown of the night when Loham found Xavier Marion for a 61 yard touchdown pass. But West Point answered again when Josh Ewing ran in from 22 yards out finalizing the scoring on the night. West Point was victorious over Ridgeland winning 56-21.
This game was the final home game for the Green Wave and the Senior class at Hamblin Stadium. West Point will hit the road next week for the North State Championship, taking on their hated rival Starkville. The Yellow Jackets ended West Point's hopes of the 5-A championship three-peat last year in the playoffs, and will hope to do so again this year. "We respect Starkville so much," said Coach Chambless about the Yellow Jackets, "regular season is out the window now, postseason is all that matters and we know we are going to have to play well."
