CHERRYVILLE — The finals of the Bud Black/Dennis Tate Holiday Classic will have a distinct Gaston County flavor.
Bessemer City's boys and girls teams both advanced to their respective championship games and will be joined by South Point's girls to make Gaston County 75 percent of the championship field. The other team is the Chase boys, who beat Cherryville 92-85 in Friday's nightcap.
The girls title game in Cherryville's Nixon Gym tips off Saturday at approximately 7 and will be followed by the boys game at 8:30.
Bessemer City's boys will be making their first championship appearance in the tournament after beating Castlewood, Va., 66-40 Friday.
The South Point girls beat Hickory Grove 74-49 to reach the championship for a sixth straight year and seventh time in eight years.
Bessemer City's girls joined their male counterparts by beating Cherryville 66-40 and will be in the finals for the first time since winning three straight titles from 1996 through 1998.
"More than what words can say," Bessemer City coach J.J. Stamey said of reaching the title game. "It means a lot for me and the girls. They've never been this far."
Boys semifinals
Bessemer City 66, Castlewood (Va.) 40 — Ask Bessemer City coach Danny McDowell the key to Friday's victory and he'll tell you his B team, which entered in the second quarter with several starters in foul trouble.
"They were able to hold the lead by four," McDowell said, referring to Bessemer City's 28-24 halftime margin. "We came back the second half, rebounded the ball and got our running game going."
Tyrece Meeks, Michael Meeks and Brad James all found themselves in early foul trouble before Bessemer City settled down and took control after halftime.
Michael Meeks scored 16 to lead the Yellow Jackets (7-1), who held Castlewood to three field goals in the third quarter and were cruising 54-31 by the time the final period began.
James and Jerrard Wright scored 13 apiece while Jha'Qui Adams added 10 points for Bessemer City, which hasn't lost since its season opener.
Dylan Trent scored 15 and Reid Edmonds 12 for Castlewood (5-4), which will play for third place Saturday at 5:30 p.m.
Chase 92, Cherryville 85 — Kenny Poston scored 29 including five 3-pointers in a losing cause for Cherryville.
Trent Friday scored 16 and Rhyer Davis and Nick Corbett added 12 each for Cherryville, which was trying to reach the championship round for the 18th consecutive time. Cherryville had played in every tournament championship except the first two years.
Cherryville will face Castlewood (Va.) in the third-place game Saturday at 5:30.
Shad Blanton led Chase with 29 points.
Girls semifinals
South Point 74, Hickory Grove 49 — Ashley Mull scored a career-high 36 points, almost half of them from the foul line, as South Point overcame a slow start to win comfortably.
The Red Raiders (10-1) trailed 15-8 before starting to take control. South Point's lead was 49-40 before the blowout fourth quarter when the Red Raiders outscored Hickory Grove 25-9.
"We knew this was going to be a tough game," South Point coach Scott Tudor said. "We played them last year in the tournament. They're a well-coached team."
Mull scored 18 of her points in the fourth quarter alone, when she went 12-for-12 from the foul line to finish 17-for-18 from the stripe. The 36 points topped her previous high of 30 points this season against Shelby.
Chrissy White scored 12 and Alli Jackson nine for South Point, whose only loss came by two points against Ashbrook.
Hannah Griffin scored 16 and Hannah Adamczyk 10 for Hickory Grove.
Bessemer City 66, Cherryville 50 — Madison Carter scored 31 points and Anjala Brewton added 17 as Bessemer City pulled away in a physical game that saw three technical fouls in the second quarter. The referees whistled 57 fouls in all (29 Bessemer City, 28 Cherryville).
Teira Dameron added eight points as Bessemer City (5-3) broke a seven-game losing streak in the series and beat Cherryville for the first time since 2009.
"We played excellent defense," Stamey said. "The 3-2 zone worked really well."
A back-and-forth first half ended in a 30-all tie. Cherryville then went ahead 41-38 midway through the third before Bessemer City took control, scoring 11 straight for a 49-41 lead heading into the final period. Cherryville got no closer than six the rest of the way.
Jacquilla Burris and Molly Whitworth scored 10 each for Cherryville (2-9) while Latiya McDowell and Bree Ramseur added eight points each.
The second quarter was marred by a shoving match between the two teams that a female Cherryville fan joined on the court. The incident started when Cherryville's Rajah Key pushed a Bessemer City player and was whistled for a technical foul at the 5:26 mark. Bessemer City's Dameron seconds later drew a technical foul for shoving a player. Key was then given a second technical for subsequently charging toward another player in the direction of a referee. Key was ejected for the double technical. Cherryville led 19-17 at the time.
Boys consolations
Australia A 53, South Point 52 — Mitch Medwin scored 17 to lead Australia A, which advanced to Saturday's fifth-place game against Thomas Jefferson. Dan Johnson scored 18 and made four 3-pointers while Deonte Gaston added 12 points for South Point, which faces Australia B for seventh place Saturday at 11:30 a.m.
Thomas Jefferson 58, Australia B 49 — Justus Freeland scored 14, Efrim Borders 13 and Nick Mintz 12 for Thomas Jefferson. Australia B got 18 points from Riley Henderson.
Girls consolations
Chase 48, Thomas Jefferson 23 — Kendra Holcombe scored 22 and Kaitlyn Smart 14 for Chase. Victoria Bennett scored 11 for Thomas Jefferson.
Castlewood (Va.) 62, Hunter Huss 23 — Sydney Elam scored 19 and Caitlyn Flemming 14 for Castlewood. Jalaah Crosby scored 13 for Hunter Huss, which will face Thomas Jefferson for seventh place Saturday at 10 a.m.

When Alcatraz debuted, it looked like the show had a very good chance at being renewed for a second season. But how do things look now? Will the TV series be cancelled after all?
Alcatraz follows police detective Rebecca Madsen (Sarah Jones) and Dr. Diego Soto (Jorge Garcia) as they try to solve the mystery of how 340 prison inmates and guards disappeared in 1963 and are now reappearing in modern day. The cast also includes Jonny Coyne, Parminder Nagra, Jason Butler Harner, and Sam Neill.
The TV show debuted with a solid 3.3 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 10.05 million total viewers. In week two, the demo slipped 9% to a still respectable 3.0 rating with 9.03 million. New shows typically fall 15-20% in their second week so this was a good sign. Week three dropped another 7%. That wasn't positive but not horrible either.
Unfortunately, the ratings have just kept falling. In February, NBC kicked off the second season of The Voice and Alcaraz took a big hit, dropping 18% on February 6th and then another 17% on the 13th. And the numbers just keep going down. Last week's episode was a series low with a 2.1 in the demo.
For the first time in many years, the big networks all have really strong programming on Monday nights and FOX has ended up on the bottom. House, which is in its final season, keeps dropping and so does Alcatraz.
Alcatraz's season average is currently a 2.3 in the demo with 7.1 million. On our FOX report card — which ranks the network's shows based on demo averages — Alcatraz has a "C." Terra Nova, which has already been cancelled, had a better demo average and has a "C+". When a show that was performing better than yours has been cancelled, that's not a good sign.
Alcatraz is definitely on the bubble but, in light of the downward ratings trend, I expect it to be cancelled by May. There's just no reason to expect that the series will do any better if given a second season.
But, what do you think? Do you think Alcatraz will beat the odds and be renewed for a second season? Should it be cancelled?

JP Pietersen did not train with the Springboks on Wednesday and will face a final fitness test on Thursday.
Springbok coach Peter de Villiers had been forced to postpone the first training session of this quarter-final week to Wednesday, and the bad news for the Boks is that Pietersen is still not up an running. The winger injured his quad in last Friday's clash against Samoa, and is doubtful for Sunday's play-off at the Wellington Regional Stadium.
The Boks will announce their 22 to tackle the Aussies on Thursday at 07:00 New Zealand time (Wednesday at 20:00 SA time), and Pietersen should be listed in the starting line-up. However, that team announcement will not mean much in terms of his progress, and he will only undergo the final fitness test later in the day.
'I feel confident that I will be ready,' Pietersen said on Wednesday. 'I haven't run yet and there is still a lot of pain, but we will have to see how it goes tomorrow.
'If there is still a lot of discomfort, I may have to do what's best for the team and drop out. You don't want to be at only 80% of your ability in a game like this.'
If Pietersen is unavailable, Francois Hougaard should take his place on the right wing.

I ordered this product because it was suggested based on the sent I normally wear. However, this product did not agree with my body chemistry. I smelled like an older woman. I am not quite ready for such a mature smell.

"Since my time in the Sellinger MBA program, I've become a thought leader on my team, because I can demonstrate a 360-degree perspective on how to make our work environment more efficient and effective. I've gone from someone who can easily identify problems to someone who is not only solution-oriented, but has an entrepreneurial spirit when it comes to trying to create solutions before problems even occur. That's how I see business differently."
Mario Ladel Scott, MBA '11
Professional Health Care Representative
Pfizer Inc.
"Loyola's two year MBA program provided me with tangible leadership and management skills that continue to serve me today both personally and professionally. When I began my MBA, I was in a marketing leadership role but felt I could do more. Loyola enabled me to build the leadership qualities and solid business foundation to help grow organizations from within. I'm now the chief operating officer of an organization whose mission is to cultivate business growth in a thriving economy. I would not be as effective in my current role without the broader sense of the world that I gained from my thirty-three person MBA cohort whose backgrounds ranged from Ph.D.s to small business owners. That's how I see business differently."
Jennifer Gunner-Meyer, MBA Fellows '07
Chief Operating Officer
Economic Alliance of Greater Baltimore
"Financial economics contains big ideas—it's much more than just financial statements and stock prices. I push my students to look at problems from multiple angles, to transition from seeing them as finance problems or marketing problems or their department's problems to seeing them as problems that affect the whole business—and I introduce new tools, new ideas, and new ways to solve them. That's how I see business differently."
Jon Fulkerson, Ph.D.
Assistant Professor of Finance
"All of my formal education had focused on just that—education. But as superintendent of a large school system, I soon came to realize I really was running a business. I've got a $1 billion budget, fleets of transportation, HVAC teams, a lot of other entities to consider, and the keen awareness that I'm working with other people's—taxpayers'—money. I need to demonstrate strong ROI so people will continue to invest in our schools. Through the Sellinger Executive MBA program, I not only have a better perspective on how to do that—but I also have a better understanding of what the business community expects from our graduates and what today's K-12 need to be ready to bring to the table. That's how I see business differently."
Renee Foose, Ed.D., M.Ed. '97, EMBA '10
Howard County Public Schools
"One of my classes requires my students to manage $500,000 of the University's endowment. Constant review of their investments in a dynamic environment ensures continued learning—students have success in this process, and they also have setbacks, both of which create opportunities to learn. It is only by taking on greater challenges, that one is able to achieve the goal of being a lifelong learner. In addition, the world is getting smaller by the day, and students need to understand that they are competing and working in a global environment. Most of my education was in India, and I worked in India in the financial sector before coming to the U.S. for my MBA and Ph.D. I'm able to provide my students with concrete examples, drawn from my educational and professional experiences, that compare the markets in the two countries. That's how I see business differently."
Frank D'Souza, Ph.D.
Associate Professor of Finance
"Business education needs to reflect the fundamental way that most businesspeople learn—through exploration, experience, and interdependency with those with whom they work. Graduate students bring into class rich experiences, practical problems in need of solutions and a desire to hear and learn from their peers, as well as the experts. Undergraduates substitute exposure to business with regular access to a wide range of media and are just as interested in sharing ideas with peers. Covering course concepts is still important, and context and frameworks are key, but my students have sparked a radical change in my role from instructor or professor to facilitator. In this, it's my students who have taught me, rather than the other way around. That's how I see business differently."

Results vs. N. Greenville (2009-02-14 12:00:00)
February 14, 2009Misenheimer, NC -- On Saturday afternoon the Pfeiffer Falcons swept the three game series with visiting North Greenville. After winning Friday 10-2 and 8-1, Pfeiffer came out and won again by the score of 8-1. Pfeiffer baseball now has a record of 8-3 overall.
The Falcons struck early with an unearned run. Eric Shoemaker (Huntersville, NC) walked and advanced to second on a single by Zach Pou (Stanley, NC). Then, a failed pickoff attempt led to an error by the second baseman scoring Shoemaker.
In the third, Pfeiffer improved their lead to 5-0 on three hits a walk and an error. Julian Medina (Glen Cove, NY) led off the inning by reaching on an error. Josh Strickland (Liberty, NC) followed with a single and Shoemaker drove Medina and Strickland home on a double down the right field line. A Will Davis (New London, NC) walk was followed by another double, this one by Jesse Dunn (Easley, SC), scoring Shoemaker and advancing Davis to third. Davis later scored on a RBI groundout by Mike Green (Brandon, FL).
The Crusaders got on the board with an unearned run in the sixth. Randy Stegall (Pauline, SC) led off with a single and advanced to second on a groundout. He then on scored on an error when Derek Fulmer (Pelion, SC) hit into a fielder's choice.
Pfeiffer closed the scoring out in the bottom half of the seventh with three runs. Pou and Davis each had one out singles. Dunn hit a mammoth homerun to right to stretch the lead to 8-1.
On the mound, Pfeiffer used a strong effort by Adam Sedberry (Monroe, NC) who went six innings, surrendered five hits and no earned runs. At the plate, the Falcons were led by Pou (3-4) and Dunn (2-4 with a double, homerun and four RBIs).
For the Crusaders, Mark Benjamin (Greenwood, SC) took the loss while tossing seven innings, giving up nine hits and all eight runs were charged to him. Stegall led the North Greenville bats going 2-4, David Frazier (Snellville, GA), Jairo Mateo (Santo Domingo, DR), Corey Cline (Shelby, NC), and Dayton Lupton (Milner, GA) each added a hit.
Pfeiffer will return to action to host rival Catawba College at 2:30 PM on Tuesday. They will also play host to Francis Marion on Wednesday at 2:30 PM.

Medications for Pain
Pain Medications | Protecting Your Medications | Substance Use
Pain Medications
Gordon Irving, M.D.
Helpful hints
- Pain medications will not block all pain. Most medications even when they work will only lower pain by about a third.
- When you have a pain flare-up, taking more medication than prescribed may not help and you may run out of your prescription early. If you use more pills one day, use less over the next few days so you do not run out.
- Take short-acting painkillers before you do something you know will be painful — for example, gardening. This may stop the pain from becoming intense.
- Try to have a few pain pills left over at the end of the month so you always have at least a three-day supply. Having an extra supply decreases your anxiety when you get close to your refill date.
- Always get a refill before you need it so you are not waiting until the last minute.
- You are the only one who really understands your pain problem and your needs. It is up to you to create a pain-management plan with your doctor. Your provider may not always understand your pain, and it may sometimes be hard to reach them.
- Medications are only part of the solution and will not solve all your pain.
a. Using your other pain-management tips are just as important.
b. Learn to pace yourself during activities.
c. Avoid trying to get everything done when you are feeling good because it may make you feel bad later.
- You can have a life even with pain. Those with pain who do the best are those that accept their limitations but live life fully. Understand your fears. If the fear of more pain keeps you from doing anything, it can increase disability. When you are less active you have more time to dwell on your pain. You will have even more limitations over time.
- The cure is inside you.
• Pay attention to your body and feelings.
• Become an active part of your healthcare team.
o The STOMP project will give you the tools to improve your life.
o You are the only one who can work with your team.
• You have the most to gain.
- Remember to keep your pain medications safe!
Common Medication Concerns
1. Long-term Opioids, including hydrocodone, oxycodone, hydromorphone, fentanyl, morphine, methadone, oxymorphone, buprenorphine and tapentadal
- High doses taken for a long time may make your body more sensitive to pain [opioid-induced hyperalgesia]. The only fix is to stop taking the medication.
- These drugs may affect how your body fights germs and lower hormones such as testosterone, estrogen, and cortisol.
- High doses may increase falls. If testosterone has also been suppressed, broken bones are more likely.
- They may affect sleep [central sleep apnea].
- They should never be taken with alcohol.
- Other drugs that affect the brain like benzodiazepines (valium, Ativan, Xanax) increase the risk of overdose and seriously affect your ability to drive safely.
2. Benzodiazepines: Valium, Ativan, Xanax, and temazepam
- Chronic pain is usually linked to anxiety. However, long-term uses of benzodiazepines does not treat chronic pain well.
- They may pain worse.
- They are also very addictive and affect sleep.
- If short-acting ones (Xanax, Ativan) are stopped suddenly, seizures may occur.
3. Muscle relaxants: Flexeril, Soma, Robaxin, Zanaflex, Skelaxin, and baclofen
- Most of these drugs are very old and have never been tested to treat pain. They each affect the body in different ways and soma is addictive.
- Like many medications for chronic pain, these drugs should be used as little as possible.
4. Acetaminophen (Tylenol)
- Do not take more than 3 grams per day (for example, 6 extra-strength Tylenol). Take less if you have any liver problems or drink a lot of alcohol.
- This drug can cause liver and kidney failure when taken for a long time.
- Some medications, such as Vicodin and Percocet, contain acetaminophen. This should be added in your daily dose.
5. Anti-Inflammatories such as Advil, Aleve, ibuprofen, and Celebrex
- These drugs may cause stomach and intestinal bleeding, kidney damage and high blood pressure.
- They often do not help chronic pain except when there is a flare-up due to physical over-activity.
- If they are not helping, do not take them. They are dangerous. Over 14,000 Americans die from anti-inflammatory drugs every year.
Common Side Effects
All medications have side effects. Some are obvious, others are not.
- Constipation: Many pain medications, especially the opioids, cause the gut to slow down and absorb more water. Treatments include laxatives, eating fiber, drinking more water, and taking stool-softening medicine. The stool should be soft and you should not feel bloated after. If you still have problems, talk to your doctor.
- Dry mouth: Many medications may slow or stop your saliva (spit). Less saliva can cause stomachache, mouth burning, difficulty talking, and cavities. If you feel your mouth is dry because of your medications, go to your dentist, drink more water, use fluoride and mouthwash, and try other medications to increase saliva.
- Drowsiness (feeling tired): To decrease drowsiness; take less of the medication that is making you tired. Ask your doctor if you can take it before bed or change to a different medication if that does not help.

Protecting Your Medications
Gordon Irving, M.D.
Why should I protect my medications?
You are responsible for using your medication safely and keeping it from being abused or stolen. Doctors will rarely give you extra medication.
If you give someone your opioids, this could be a crime called "supplying".
Steps to Get There
- Do not share your medications with anyone.
- Lock your medications in a cabinet or safe box and hide the key. You can buy these boxes from many stores.
- Do not use a bathroom cabinet. These rarely lock and are the first place any stranger or visitor in your house will look.
- Make sure your prescription has the right number of pills and count how many you have left every day. If you are missing pills, ask your family and anyone else in your home about it.
- If you are missing pills, move the locked container and change the lock.
- Remember, stealing narcotics a crime and it is taking medication that you need for your pain.
- If you do think someone has stolen your medicine, tell the police. This will help you and may help the person who stole your medicine.

Substance Use
Allen Hume, Ph.D.
Alcohol and drug use can affect pain management. Follow all directions with medications since it could cause problems if you do not. When using medications, be sure to be honest with your provider, who will likely have you sign a contract if you are on opioid (i.e. narcotic pain) or benzodiazepine (i.e. Valium, Xanax, etc.) medications. This contract is for your safety and should be followed. Using other drugs and/or alcohol can have very serious and even deadly effects if used with your medications. While it may seem that drugs or alcohol help with pain, anxiety, or depression, do not use them for managing pain. Alcohol, prescribed drugs, and other drugs can make pain feel worse and can lead to injury. Overuse can turn into addiction. If you have concerns about addiction (yours or a family member's) see the links below. Remember, making healthy choices about your usage will make pain management much easier for you.
Steps to Get There
- Be honest with yourself and your provider about your alcohol and drug use. This includes prescriptions, over-the-counter, and illicit drugs, all of which can affect your treatment.
- Know your family history of drug and alcohol use Addiction often runs in families.
- Go online and take a test on your drug and alcohol use. Talk to your doctor or other provider and seek treatment if needed.
- There are many self-help groups, including Alcoholics Anonymous, NA, and Rational Recovery. Have others help you figure out if you have a drug or alcohol problem. If so, they can help you get better.
- Learn about drug and alcohol use, either on your own or with a provider's help.
- There are many excellent providers who can help you with your alcohol, drug, and chronic pain issues.
- Seek individual and/or group counseling to address your usage and concerns.
- Stay hopeful and optimistic that you can change your behavior, recover, and improve your pain condition.

Index terms make up a controlled vocabulary for use in bibliographic records. They are an integral part of bibliographic control, which is the function by which libraries collect, organize and disseminate documents. They are used as keywords to retrieve documents in an information system, for instance, a catalog or a search engine. A popular form of keywords on the web are tags which are directly visible and can be assigned by non-experts also. Index terms can consist of a word, phrase, or alphanumerical term. They are created by analyzing the document either manually with subject indexing or automatically with automatic indexing or more sophisticated methods of keyword extraction. Index terms can either come from a controlled vocabulary or be freely assigned. (Excerpt from Wikipedia article: subject heading)

Women's Solaire II 14-Piece Complete Set
Product Overview
Years of extensive research with women golfers have led us to develop an Energy Efficient Design approach that optimizes every element of a golf club to maximize the performance of a woman's swing. This is the most forgiving set of clubs for women with longer, straighter distance, higher ball flights and better accuracy from every point on the course.
What's Included?
- Driver
- 3-wood
- 5-wood
- 7-wood
- 5-hybrid
- 6-hybrid
- 7-iron
- 8-iron
- 9-iron
- Pitching wedge
- Approach wedge
- Sand wedge
- Putter
- Cart Bag
Distance Made Easy
Every club in the set is configured to be energy efficient and easy to swing so golfers can play with confidence and generate more power from anywhere on the course. Each fairway wood and hybrid has a clubface designed with a flat roll radius, which produces a higher launch angle on shots hit low on the face for increased distance and softer landings.
Designed For Women
Callaway's R&D team studied a wide range of women's swings to design clubs with lengths, weights and lofts that are ideally suited to give women more distance, better accuracy and unprecedented forgiveness. The increased hosel offset also helps to square the clubface at impact while providing a look at address that boosts confidence.
Complete Course Coverage
This all-in-one set is designed to give women everything they need to go from the shop straight to the course. The clubs are engineered to provide ideal distance coverage and high ball flights out of a variety of lies so women feel confident they have the right club for the next shot.
Club Condition Guide
Learn about our condition ratings and what to expect when you purchase a certified club from Callaway Pre-Owned.

A visit to Huay Hong Khrai Royal Development Study Centre lets you learn how the denuded forest became a lush, green forest thanks to the initiative of HM King BHumibol. The centre was initiated in 1982 by HM the King who wish to improve the condition of this former denuded forest. The centre then conducted a number of researches and studies on forestry that later turned this denuded forest into a lush forest by planting three kinds of trees: trees for fruits, trees for firewood and trees with high economic values. The idea has later been implemented at other denuded forests around the region. "Let this Study Centre function as living museum of Mother Nature," says the king.

Last week, C.C. Chapman mentioned the importance of water. Another need the world over is medical care.
One of the coolest nonprofits I've come across is MEDLIFE. MEDLIFE started when a medical student, Nick Ellis, was on a medical missions trip to Peru. As with other medical trips, the medical team took care of the needs that were presented to them. But something bugged Nick.
One woman came to him with a serious medical issue. As he listened to her story, he realized her condition was largely do to a the path she used to walk up the mountain. What would really improve her health and the health of her community would be to build stairs up the mountain. But the team was there to provide medical care, not build things.

The North Carolina Senate approved legislation Wednesday that would require abortion clinics to operate under new, stricter standards, and the response locally was mixed.
The Senate voted 29-12 for increased regulations surrounding abortions, even as protesters stood in the gallery in
Measures in the bill would:
- Allow any health provider, not only doctors, to refuse to provide abortions and related services.
- Keep city and county healthcare plans from offering abortion coverage to employees, except in cases such as rape, incest or when the mother's life is in danger.
- Require doctors to stay in the room for the entire abortion procedure, no matter if it is surgical or not.
- Disallow gender-selective abortions.
The legislation would also mandate clinics to change the size of recovery rooms and hallways to ambulatory surgical center standards, something that opponents say could shut existing clinics down.
Legislators who supported the bill said the legislation will make abortion procedures safer. Crist said that was unnecessary.
Crist said despite the bill's success in the Senate, he doesn't think it will pass either in the House, where it must be returned for a final vote on the changes to the original bill, or if it ends up on the governor's desk.
"I will be very disappointed if our governor doesn't veto it, because he promised that he would not interfere in the abortion issue," he said. "I have a lot of respect for the governor, and he promised he would not hinder women's healthcare."
Crist also said the way it was passed "was done sneakily." The measures were inserted into another, unrelated bill late Tuesday.
"The leadership in the North Carolina General Assembly chose to force this sweeping anti-women's health bill through with no public notice or transparency because they knew it wouldn't stand up to public scrutiny," U.S. Senator Kay Hagan D-N.C. said in a statement Wednesday. "Even Governor McCrory opposes this legislative sneak-attack."
Local senators Harry Brown, R-Onslow; Brent Jackson, R-Duplin; and Norm Sanderson, R-Carteret, all voted for the bill. Bill Rabon, R-Pender, had an excused absence.
Elizabeth Freeze, director of development in Planned Parenthood Health Systems out of
Freeze said this delay would mean a delay in abortions for patients.
"The longer it is delayed, the more risks associated with it," she said.
She also said mandating a physician to stay in the room with a patient while they undergo a medication abortion is unnecessary, because the patient simply swallows a pill. Freeze said all it does is reduce efficiency and keeps doctors from seeing more patients.
In addition, she said people often forget that putting more restrictions on abortions does not stop them from happening — it only stops safe ones from happening.
Others locally found the measure to be exactly what the doctor ordered.
Gerald Brandon is the grand knight of the Father William O'Byrne Council 3574 Knights of Columbus.
"They need to know that that's a human being there,"
The Father William O'Byrne Council of Knights of Columbus marches annually promoting the right to life.
Amanda Wells, owner of Angelic Fetal Imaging in
Wells said she appreciates legislators trying to make abortion a safer practice; however, she also thinks the bigger issue is the accessibility and the decision to have an abortion.
With that in mind, she said if more clinics are forced to renovate to comply with ambulatory surgical center sizing standards, women thinking of aborting will have fewer options.
"From a pro-life stance, maybe we would be able to see more babies kept because it's not as readily available," she said.
She added that locally she doesn't think abortion is as big an issue because of the military presence — with great healthcare and reliable income, she believes the idea of an unplanned pregnancy might not be as intimidating to some couples around here as in other places.
She said she hopes if the provisions of the bill makes access to abortion more difficult for women, it will give them more time to decide if they want to commit.
Wells' own mother had an abortion at 15 years old and then got pregnant with Wells at 17. She said she's grateful her mother chose to get married and keep her so she could grow up and raise children of her own.
"Delay in time will give these girls the opportunities to take more time to make a decision and make sure it is the very best decision for the man, the woman and the unborn child involved," she said.

Economic opportunity
Markets, whether large or small, keep communities thriving. But conflicts, disasters and a lack of infrastructure can prevent people from conducting the daily transactions on which all growth and progress depend. Around the world, Mercy Corps discovers why commerce is stuck.
In some places, manufacturers need loans to purchase equipment and young people desire job skills. In others, key transportation routes to market must be rebuilt or farmers require better storage to keep their inventory fresh until sold.
Our economic development projects provide financing, equipment, training or technical support. These projects help people find jobs, build their businesses, supply their communities with the goods they need —and improve their lives.

It looked like Army Wives might be coming to an end after six seasons. Now, it turns out that last night's cliffhanger season ending might be a good sign for season seven.
Series star Catherine Bell has noted that, while Army Wives hasn't been cancelled, it hasn't been renewed yet either. Via her Twitter account, Bell said that the cast and crew filmed two endings for the season six finale which was filmed in June. Presumably one that would wrap up the show and another that would serve as a cliffhanger to lead into season seven.
Though Army Wives hasn't been renewed, Bell hints that it's "kind of a good sign" that Lifetime went with the cliffhanger ending instead of the tidy one.
If the Lifetime show does indeed come back, you can be sure that Bell will be a part of it. The actress signed a new two year deal with the studio back in May. It potentially commits her to two more seasons of the show and gives her a significant salary increase.
Who else would be returning? That seems to be up in the air since none of the other original Army Wives castmembers have contracts now that season six is over. If Lifetime wants them back, they'll have to renegotiate salaries and that will presumably drive production costs.
That may explain why so many characters were left in jeopardy in the sixth season finale. If deals can't be reached, Army Wives could return with several new faces. We'll keep you posted as we hear more.
What do you think? Do you think Army Wives will return for a seventh season? If some in the cast don't return, who would you miss the most? The least?

Is it possible to get 2 points in 1 year in WY?
If I try and draw in Jan (unsuccessfully) and get a point can I still buy a point in September? I am just trying to figure out what year I will have a reasonable chance of drawing my unit.
Right now I have 2 points. I plan to buy a point in Sep(now at 3), then try and draw in Jan again(probably unsuccessfully makes 4) then buy another in Sept(makes 5) then go into draw with 5 in January and hopefully draw.
Does this sound right?
Thanks in advance.

Olympic Philately has a special position in philately and a particular bond with the Olympic Movement and the Olympic Games.
Those Olympic stamps were the first sports stamps, the father of them all. Today, for each Olympic Games, the host nation's postal administration has an extensive stamp and philatelic programme, and nations participating at the Olympic Games are encouraged to issue a set of stamps. Typically, about 100 nations issue Olympic stamps for the Olympic Summer Games, and about 40 nations issue stamps for the Olympic Winter Games.
Thousands of Olympic-sport collectors are organised worldwide in 31 chapters of the International Federation of Olympic Philatelists (FIPO). Every two years, at Games time, many thousands of people who are not normally stamp collectors will collect Olympic stamps as an official souvenir of this special event.
Olympic philately has a special place in Olympic research. Stamps, letters, postcards and postal cancellations provide an important insight into people and events, and offer official evidence of events, times and dates. Stamps and the letters attached to them tell fascinating stories of the Olympic Games and the people who participated in them.
Olympic philately as a hobby has a particular bond with the Olympic Movement and the Olympic Games. The bond is two-fold: cultural-historical and economic.
Stamps are miniature works of art which communicate, graphically, the Olympic ideal. Significantly, the images and the message they convey are part of mass communication. Olympic stamps appear on millions of letters in hundreds of nations, and travel internationally. They are truly paper ambassadors for the Olympic Movement.
The economic bond was, in fact, the first one with the Olympic Games. In 1895, the decision to issue Olympic stamps made it possible for the Organising Committee to balance its budget and construct the last four venues. Thus, in some way, Olympic stamps were the first "sponsors" of the Olympic Games. Since then, Olympic stamps have contributed to the budget of Organising Committees for the Olympic Games, National Olympic Committees and Olympic events.
