Be assured that coker college is firmly committed to maintaining its reputation of excellence for providing the highest quality living and learning environment for its students. however, the reality is that we do still need your support. our fall 2008 enrollment is off-target and the value of our endowment has plummeted with the stock market. this translates to a reduction in revenue from these sources. as a result, your gift to the annual scholarship fund this year is more important than ever. With your generosity, a strong and viable annual scholarship fund will help coker college students through these tumultuous times. as i ponder the future of the college, i see a place where "coker champions" -- dedicated leadership donors, alumni, friends, parents, faculty and staff -- work together to provide educational experiences for students that prepare them for a demanding workforce and world. no doubt, there have been other recessions in coker's 100-year history. there has also been during those times an outstanding sense of commitment from the college's leadership donors, alumni, friends, parents, faculty and staff. ultimately, what we enjoy today is an exceptional academic community created out of the determination expressed by coker champions, even during the most difficult of times. unquestionably, the months, even years, ahead will require of us our best thinking and actions to preserve what has been created here over the past century. We are grateful for 1.0: The new granite bench on campus your continued support recently donated by Louisa E. Tobias of and stewardship of coker Columbia in memory of Margaret Watson college. Best wishes for Cooper, granddaughter of Major James the new year. Lide Coker, founder of the College. >> C A M P U S I S S U E W INTER '08 VOL . 36 NO. 4 6 HOMECOMING 2008 contents >> CAMPUS NEWS | 4 >> ON ThE ROAd WITh FRANK | 8 >> dEVELOPMENT | 10 >> AThLETICS | 14 14 DIABETES DOESN'T STOP WOMEN'S SOCCER PLAYER volume 36, number 4 w w w.coker.edu the Commentary of coker college is published four times a year in the fall, winter, spring and summer by the coker college office of Marketing & communications. 843.383.8018 Periodicals postage paid at hartsville, sc 29550 and additional mailing offices usPs Pub. no. 599-590 POSTMASTER: forward and send address changes to: COKER COLLEGE Office of Marketing & Communications 300 east college avenue hartsville, sc 29550-3797 >> JAMES JOLLy Director of Marketing and communications firstname.lastname@example.com >> K yL E SAVER ANCE '0 6 Publications and Web Designer firstname.lastname@example.com >> ChRIS TIAN S TRy KER '0 4 sports information Director firstname.lastname@example.com >> CONTRIbU TORS: henna koponen '10 shannon townley '09 www.coker.edu campus campus Coker Memoir is Entertainingly Warm, Honest and Informative ~ BY D O N A L D E . Q U I S T ` 0 6 ~ "growing Up in The Brown hoUse COMMEMORATES A CENTURY Of EDUCATION. AS READERS ARE GREETED WITH TALES Of HAPPENINGS IN THE HOMES Of JOSLIN AND HER ExTENDED fAMILY, WE ARE GIvEN A CLOSER LOOK -- A MORE INTIMATE HISTORY Of THE COLLEGE AND THE REAL LIfE DRAMAS TIED TO THE LANDMARKS NOW SITTING ON THE COLLEGE'S CAMPUS." seventy plus years ago, coker college's administration Building was the childhood home of Mary coker Joslin. in Growing Up in the Brown House: Memories of Old Hartsville (coker college Press, 2008), Joslin flips the hourglass and sifts through memories to give a firsthand account of life in the emerging south. it is a coming of age story and Joslin tells it well, opting out of the linear storytelling common with most books of this nature. instead, she chooses to drop little nuggets of exposition in a chatty way, allowing her mind to wander, shifting from one moment of her life to another. it works, making the text feel more like a conversation with Joslin than a history lesson. her free-standing narratives create a heap of life experience, informing readers and dispelling myths about being raised in the rural south. as Joslin puts it, "for me, the culture of a small southern town was a good place to begin life. We had close friends and relatives. We had ample opportunity to immerse ourselves in the beauty of the gardens, farms, and forests of the surrounding area." she revels in the charm of it all, residing in a town so small a young boy could simply pick-up a phone, say "central," ask for "grandpa," and be connected to his grandfather. one can't help but smile as she recounts tales from the era of iceboxes, handwritten letters and wood-burning cook stoves. the book is made more appealing by its honesty. Joslin gives a front-row seat to her past as she grapples with the uncertainty of youth and finding her identity. there is real emotion and Joslin does not shy away. she brings family skeletons to light confronting coker family tragedies tactfully and without fear. By tackling issues like the loss of her mother's first child in 1916, her brother samuel's mental illness, the premature death of her aunt Jennie and her father's first wife, Joslin humanizes the cokers, a family that has become synonymous with southern affluence and generosity. "compared to our urban kin and some visitors, the Brown house family was unsophisticated," Joslin writes, as she strips away some of the preconceived notions surrounding her family. she presents her father, David r. coker, as an everyman with a passion for education. her book includes poems by her father conveying his love for literature and the arts. he instilled that admiration in his family and that fondness for education is illustrated in Joslin's warm memories of coker college. Joslin's story is also the story of one of south carolina's most distinguished institutions. the creative energy and intellectual enthusiasm endowed by the coker family is still very much alive today with coker college which has once again been a Best southeastern college by The Princeton Review and one of america's Best colleges by U.S. News & World Report. Growing Up in the Brown House commemorates a century of education. as readers are greeted with tales of happenings in the homes of Joslin and her extended family, we are given a closer look -- a more intimate history of the college and the real life dramas tied to the landmarks now sitting on the college's campus. looking back on her past with the charismatic introspection that only comes with time, Joslin's voice is rich and profoundly grateful; sincerity flows from each word on every page. it's easy to sink into Joslin's writing. her episodes couple funny anecdotes with elegant prose. it's a quick read and people will enjoy following Joslin as she skips through memories of a family who built a legacy on education and charity. Joslin's book captures her family's belief that a community is only as strong as its people, a sum of the efforts and contributions of each individual. it is a virtue for which Joslin has dug through her past in order to retrieve and it is her gift to readers. though Joslin reminds the reader not to confuse her memories with historical record, her writing is fluid -- the stories so natural, it's not hard to accept these happenings as fact. recanting her childhood she helps give a deeper understanding, offering up another granule in the mound of sand that is the history of hartsville. growing Up in the Brown house: Memories of old hartsville (ISBN 978 - 0 - 970 36 4 4 2- 5) Available for $25 from the office of alumni relations.

The Chaty Hayes O'Neal Endowed Scholarship is to be awarded to a full-time rising junior history major with a minimum grade point average of 3.0. Chaty proudly carried the legacy of her mother, four of her mother's sisters, and several cousins who were Coker alumna. Throughout her lifetime, her strong upbringing and her education at Coker College created a firm foundation for her life and service to the community. After graduating from Coker with a degree in history, Chaty taught fifth grade in Lake City before marrying Thomas in 1948. They raised a family and she taught South Carolina history and social studies in Latta public schools. Her love of history remained with her for her lifetime. She was a regent and a 53year member of the Pee Dee Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, and a member of the 20th Century Literary Club of Bennettsville and the Marlboro County Historical Society. She was instrumental in securing two National Historical Registry markers -- at the present Brownsville Baptist Church and at Muddy Creek. She was an avid participant in travels to historic sites and shared her fascination with and knowledge of history with her family, friends and students. Chaty was a faithful member of Brownsville Baptist Church, where for many years she served as a teacher, pianist, and choir director. Her love of music was inspired, developed, and polished at Coker where she studied voice and was in the choir. She was a member of the Bennettsville Music Club and served on the Marlboro County Arts Commission. Family members say that Chaty's beauty, intelligence, and creativity were strong attributes, but her tenacity, determination, and ability to carry a project to fruition made her that rare person who could be relied upon to accomplish any task that she agreed to undertake. i am pleased that i continue to get positive response from my articles, "travels with frank" and that you are enjoying them. i do apologize that we were unable to have one in the last edition of the coMMentary; we just ran out of space, but we will catch up. in late June, we had a visit to the college from Anne Gardner Blomeyer '69, and her husband, Bob, of Dallas, texas. they arrived on campus to meet her sister and her sister's husband and niece, who is a prospective student and hopes to join coker in the fall of '09. she is a delightful young lady and i hope that she will attend the college. it was great fun to be with anne and her family, especially since anne had not been on campus to see all the campus renovations and the new library-information technology center. needless to say, she was thrilled with our beautiful campus. in mid-July, i traveled to Dobson, nc, to pick up another load of the coker centennial wine from shelton vineyards. on my way up, i stopped by and had lunch with Jane Parler Norwood '65 and her husband, Buddy. Buddy has been employed with shelton vineyards for a number of years and has worked with us every step of the way to present our centennial wine to the college public. if any of you would like to buy a bottle, do not hesitate to call lyn Blackmon in the alumni office (843-383-8016). Jane and Buddy have been supportive of coker over the years. Jane is currently on the Board of trustees at the college (her second term) and is also serving as a member of the very important Presidential search committee. in early august, we had the pleasure of having Martha Little Hunter `54 and her husband, reid, in hartsville. Martha was here for an alumni meeting. Anne S. Hancock '60, of atlanta, ga., was also here. Jim and karen Dawson and frankie and i took them to the hartsville country club for dinner and i don't know when i have had more fun and a more enjoyable conversation. Both Martha and anne have been so supportive of coker through the years. Martha and reid live in sea island, georgia, and anne lives in atlanta, but is moving to greenwood soon. she is beginning her five year term as a member of coker's ROAd with Frank >> fRANK BUSH - executive vP for institutional advancement ON ThE Vis its with Coker Alumni and Friend s Board of trustees and it will be a pleasure and a real resource for us to have anne's leadership skills. often times i get reports back from people reading "travels with frank" that many of our great and supportive friends in hartsville are not included in the article. i decided to make a change and add some of my visits because the hartsvillians are so special to the college. as a matter of fact, much of our support comes from people in hartsville who not only are graduates of the college, but who know the importance the college to the hartsville community. one such visit i had in early august was with Sloan Hungerpiller Brittain '43, and her husband, Deward (Britt). it would be difficult to find two people who have been more supportive of coker college over the years than they. the college has an endowed scholarship in sloan's name and also one in sloan's mother and father's names, the John C. and Leland Segars Hungerpiller Scholarship, which is supported by their family. Many of sloan's family attended coker and have been very supportive, particularly of this scholarship. Britt served on the Board of trustees when the college was having some difficult times and showed real leadership during those times. We are appreciative of what he did and what they both continue to do for coker college. We also send our condolences to sloan and her brother, Jimmy hungerpiller of savannah, georgia, on the recent loss of their brother, kent hungerpiller, sr., of hartsville. he was a fine man and will be missed. another hartsville visit i had recently was with Willie Calcutt Saleeby '50. you know, they just don't come any better than Willie. she and her late husband, ed, have done so much for coker through the years and have a named scholarship here at the college in Willie's honor. that same week, i attended the funeral of sylvia askins in lake city. sylvia was the mother of coker graduate, Scott W. Askins '88, and his brother, carson. so many coker friends were at the funeral. it was a sad day for the people of lake city and those who knew sylvia, and particularly for scott, his father and brother. scott has been very supportive of coker through the years as was his grandfather, the late c. B. askins. as a sideline, Bill askins, scott's first cousin, is now the contractor who is in charge of renovating the James lide coker iii Memorial library into a residence hall. the askins family has been an integral part of the college in so many ways during the 34 years i have been here. obviously, it was a busy week and it ended with a great party at the home of Madge Windham Zemp '87 and her husband, sid. they held the reunion party for 26 coker travelers who had recently gone to northwest canada. they spoke glowingly of Madge and lyn and what a great job they did hosting the trip. it gave me time to catch up with many coker graduates and friends of the college who were there. frankie and i enjoyed visiting with this group of people who love coker college. We all share the joy of reminiscing about the coker trips we have taken together. People say to me, "frank, you must get tired W W W. C O K ER . ED U / D Ev EL O PM EN T 8 | Win t e r 20 0 8 c a MP us issue development of being on the road all the time." My response is "i don't because i have a great time talking with people who love coker." certainly one of these times was my last visit to the atlanta area. My first visit was to see Lewis Sharp '93, and his lovely wife, lori. lewis and lori are expecting their first child soon and i had a lovely dinner in their beautiful home in Braselton, ga. lewis is such a great guy and played basketball at coker. the next morning i drove out to suwanee, ga., to see Stephen Shulte `88, at his office and had lunch. stephen has done so much to make this world a better place as an american Board certified prosthetist. he has improved the lives of many people and i was fortunate enough to meet some of the patients he has fitted with prosthesis. it was so thrilling to see what our coker graduate has attained. stephen was named an outstanding young alumni in 2003. on a very sad note, however, i received an e-mail the next week from stephen telling me of the death of Michael D. Martin '89. i am sorry to say that Michael took his own life. he was such a fine man and basketball player at coker. Many of us knew and loved him. let us keep his wife, children and classmates in our prayers during this difficult time. While i was there, i was scheduled to see Trent Torrence '96, but our appointment fell through. trent had a busy schedule and was headed off for his family's vacation. We were able to catch up on the phone. he is doing great and those who want to see how he looks after all these years can find him on facebook. there is a wonderful picture of his wife, lori, and his two daughters. trent promised that he would come to see us at coker soon. he has always been such a great and fun guy. i am sure we will get together next time i am down his way. By the way, now that i am talking about facebook, i invite all of you to join it to see the coker graduates. there are over 110 coker graduates on my facebook account and it is great to catch up with them and see the pictures of their families. i encourage you to do that; it is a lot of fun. if you don't know how to do it, give me a call or e-mail and i will set you up. if you want to feel old, all you have to do is stay at coker college long enough. to my surprise and pleasure, we have a member of the men's basketball team starting last year as a junior, Josh Poston, who is the son of Rick and Kimberly Chestnut Poston '83. Did that take me back! i can still see rick and kim as students here at coker when rick played basketball. i had the pleasure of their company in Myrtle Beach for lunch to talk about coker and what is going on in their lives. they are so pleased that Josh is here at coker. they never dreamed they would have a son following in their footsteps. Josh is a fine young man and it is great to have rick and kim as graduates and coker parents. talking about a fun time, in september, i surprised a group of "coker nuts" having a get together at Myrtle Beach at the home of Mary Johnson Bowie '50. Joan Snoddy Hoffmeyer '51, Betty Lee Jordan Gandy '51, Doris Johnson Gray '51, and Mary Lou Nye Holley '51 were there. lyn W W W. C OK E R .E D U/D E v E L OPM ENT development Mahaffey, who is not a coker graduate but who has been a close friend of this class for many, many years, joined them. What fun it was to pop in on them! i took them all a coker t-shirt. i was very shocked that they did not ask me to stay too long because they were so ready to go shopping. can you imagine � a group of six women who had rather go shopping than meet with me!? it was a great time. i think they have been meeting like this for many years and they love coker college and each other. towards the end of september, i took a quick trip up to greenville for two days. i had a wonderful visit with Lee Watson. We sat in her living room and chatted and reminisced and talked about coker college and even gossiped a bit. What a fine lady! she has been so inspirational to me personally and so supportive of coker. the next morning, i had the pleasure of having breakfast with Ellison Smith, a member of the Board of trustees. ellison is the grandson of richard and tuck coker and his mother, louise coker ewing, was on the Board of trustees. We had a good breakfast and great conversation. he is very supportive of the college, very active in greenville and is a busy man raising his children. i then went on to downtown greenville and had lunch with Lillian (Mickey) Utsey Harder '65. Mickey is just as fun and lively as she ever was. i don't think she will ever change and i certainly hope she doesn't! the last time i saw her two or three years ago, she told me she was retiring. Well, she has not. she still is actively involved with clemson university and is the Director of the Brooks center for the Performing arts. What a great lady. Mickey and her husband, Byron, have two children and several grandchildren. i have to admit that we talked about our children and grandchildren more than we talked about coker. there is no mistake that Mickey is an ardent supporter of coker college. By the way, if you have not been to greenville recently to some of the wonderful downtown restaurants, please go. We had a marvelous meal at latitude and a lot of fun. Maybe you can call Mickey and ask her to join you! it would give her another excuse to come to greenville to see her grandchildren. always, the first weekend in october is busy at coker college because it is homecoming which has become a major event, especially for our younger graduates. What a fun time they had! Probably the most fun of all was joining the young alums at the sory Boathouse for a party on saturday night. i was amazed that i could keep up with them for at least an hour. they were a lively group. i just hope that this tradition continues and grows to 200 or more people. We had a blast! as i think i told you several issues ago, Marjorie Hooks Bethea '46, and her husband, tom, have moved to the Methodist Manor of the Pee Dee in florence. as often as i can, i try to get over to see them. i had a wonderful time with them on october 8. i picked them up and we had a delightful lunch at a local florence restaurant. it is always good to be with them. they are both remarkable people � so much energy and positive attitudes. talk about loving coker � Marjorie Bethea, whose sister, Miriam (Tiggie) Benefield '52, also went to coker, loves coker, and has done so much for it through the years. it is a pleasure for me to know Marjorie and tom and to get to take them to lunch. i hope that soon i can pick them up and bring them to hartsville so that they can see the new library-information technology center. they haven't been able to see it yet and i know they will enjoy it. the next week i was in Myrtle Beach to have lunch with Charlotte Coker Hoffman. charlotte is a delightful person and is the daughter of fitz lee coker. her Mother was the late edna coker. charlotte and her husband have lived in Murrells inlet for several years. it was the first time i have seen her in a long time. We had a wonderful lunch at the sea captain's house in Myrtle Beach and great conversation. charlotte attended hartsville high school and frankie had the pleasure of teaching her art when she was a student, but we have not kept up with her. it was so good to see her and i hope that over the next two or three years, she will consent to join us on the Board of trustees. she is a smart woman who would have a lot of positive influence and information for us at the college. the next week in october, i went to raleigh to take some more of Mary Coker Joslin's book, "growing up in the Brown house," to her to sign. i am telling everyone, if you ever want to see a slice of life and a great book for a christmas present, buy this book. it is absolutely a wonderful read and you will love it. as always, Mary and Bill Joslin continue their support of the college with all the sales from the book going to coker's annual scholarship fund. i had a wonderful lunch with Mary and Bill, but i have to say that i am glad they are like family because my car broke down and i don't know what i would have done had i not been with them. they understood what it took for me to get my car started. it is funny now, but it was not funny at the time. they were so wonderful to put up with me and i thank them for all they do for coker. Please get a copy of Mary's book. you may call me, e-mail me or call the coker college Bookstore or lyn Blackmon in the alumni office and we will make sure you get a signed copy. signing off for this year, i wanted to speak a little bit about our late october Board of trustees' meeting. it was a good meeting, but we were especially pleased that the night before we had the pleasure of Gus Speth to give a lois Walters coker lecture on the environment. We had a huge crowd, close to 400 people, in Watson theater. gus is the Dean of the school of environmental studies and forestry at yale university. he presented an excellent lecture � very thought provoking. not everyone agreed with all that he said and that made it even better. i think the best thing that we can say about gus speth is that he is married to our wonderful coker graduate and trustee, Cameron Council Speth '64. it was wonderful to be with them for a couple of days and to have them on our campus. We appreciate so much his willingness to come and share his wisdom with us at the college.

"some of my best friends go to this camp every year. i've grown up with them. it is a huge part how i've grown with this disease." her first year at the camp left her pondering, "Where did all these kids come from?" seeing people her age handling their condition is always refreshing for friedmann, who grew up 15 minutes from nashville in hendersonville, tennessee. "in my normal element, i have to take extra steps and think about taking my blood sugar and my insulin," she said. "But at camp, i look around and one of my friends is doing the same thing. it's a surreal world." for as much inspiration she's gained from her camp buddies, friedmann is impressive herself. During her collegiate career, she became coker's fifth all-time leading goal scorer (29) and ranks sixth alltime in total points (66). she produced at a high level despite having to leave the field at times during matches to check her blood-sugar level. During those times, the cobras would play a player down until she was able to return. "i pretty much managed it myself," said friedmann, who will graduate in May with a double major in communications and english. "i just tried to keep a good tune on how my body felt and how i was playing. some of the symptoms have changed over the years." she knows the type of aggressiveness she normally plays with, and when she felt her body wasn't responding to what her mind was telling it to do, it was time to check her blood-sugar level. off the field, friedmann wears an insulin pump, but the device wouldn't survive a soccer match. "it doesn't feel too good when that thing gets ripped out of you," friedmann said. since november is the national diabetes awareness month, friedmann is an example of the type of life a person can lead while managing the disease. "there are worse things you can have," she said. "i'm fully functional. i can do anything i want and succeed. My motivation is to steer away from stereotypes or assumptions." friedmann, who is applying to graduate schools to further her education in communications, is active on the coker campus. Besides serving as one of the captains on her soccer team, she is president of the omicron Delta kappa leadership honors society and president of the coker women's golf club. "i have the natural tendency to step up when i feel there is a need," said friedmann, who also works part time as a writing tutor and in the coker admissions office. "at some point during my career, whether it is academically or athletically, i've had to step up." since she began playing soccer at the age of 4, she knows it will take time to adjust to the fact that the sport will become more of a recreational endeavor now. "it's a little bittersweet," said friedmann, who led coker with seven goals and 17 points this season. "i was working out the other day on a treadmill and started thinking, `i wish i could run out and get a few touches on the ball.' that was a few days after we finished our season." running half marathons is one way she hopes to quench her competitive thirst. of course, she'll always look forward to July for those two weeks in soddy-Daisy to meet with her friends and help other kids learn how to live an active lifestyle with diabetes. ** S T O R Y R E P R I N T E D W I T H P E R M I S S I O N O f N C A A N E W S ** 1. 0 , 3 . 0 >> dI A bE T E S dO E S N ' T S T O P C O K E R S O C C E R P L Ay E R BY G R E G J O H N S O N , N C A A N E W S 1.0: When the calendar flips to July, Kathryn "Kat" friedmann knows there no place she'd rather be than in soddy-Daisy, tennessee. the town, located 20 minutes from chattanooga in the smoky Mountains, is the site of the tennessee camp for Diabetic children. this is where friedmann, who just completed her senior season on the coker soccer team, learned that she wasn't alone in dealing with a diagnosis of type 1 diabetes. 2.0 3.0 >> TA S T E O F C O K E R 2 0 0 8 2.0: the third annual taste of coker set another record by raising nearly $10,000 for the coker athletics uniform fund.

14 June 2013 17:23 [Source: ICIS news]
LONDON (ICIS)--European high density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe resin contract prices have increased by €25/tonne ($33/tonne) on average in June, market sources reported late on Thursday.
The ranges for HDPE 80 and HDPE 100 material climbed to €1,405-1,425/tonne free delivered (FD) northwest Europe (NWE).
A wide range of settlements was heard from buyers and sellers, from €5-50/tonne.
"It was a bit of a struggle," one producer said. "We faced some resistance."
Upstream ethylene contracts settled up €5/tonne from May, but sellers and buyers said that prices had increased beyond feedstock hikes as a result of better demand in May and June.
They also said that some balancing out of pricing had taken place following decreases which were not as substantial as the reduction in the May ethylene contract. "There has been some evening up of prices," one source said. "Buyers can't play hard core all the time."
Hikes of up to €70/tonne had initially been targeted by producers.
Most sources agreed that demand had improved in May and June, however overall sales levels were still considered disappointing due to a struggling construction sector.
Stocks are relatively low along the chain, but buyers have no problem obtaining material. One source said that operating rates were low and could easily be increased if there was a further upturn in demand.
The outlook for July was mixed. Most sources expected upstream costs to remain relatively stable, but some buyers said that producers might try to increase HDPE pipe resin margins again, seeing it as the final opportunity before the summer holidays began.
One buyer said that if upstream costs did not alter significantly, buyers might push for a reduction to reflect overall demand levels.
($1 = €0.75)

Essay About Gender Inequality/Equality In Sports

My essay is pretty much about a controversy and choosing a side while backing it up with evidence. I accept both sides of the argument because if I have a point against my side, I can create a counter argument to further support my claim. I think more from the female perspective would help with my essay.
...And no. I am not asking the TT community to do my assignment for me. I'm here pretty often and found a lot of the posters here know what they're talking about. I thought it would be interesting to get a few opinions while finding a few articles on other sports.
I am currently proposing the topic to my professor and it was approved with flying colors thanks to the TT community (or at least the ones that helped...).
Feel free to keep posting!
Since this is an English class, the topic shouldnt be your primary focus. As long as you narrow the scope of your topic so that you can easily form your arguments, provide supporting facts, and give your own views of the issue, you should be fine.
This is your freshman year; your prof expects to see a well-written, well organized essay, covering all the fundamental aspects of how to write an essay, not some fancy tell all story about men/women equalities.
I could be wrong but this is how it was for me. A lot of people struggled with it because they worried too much about style, not substance.

Pleasant Hill's Onstage Theatre Has Its 'Favorite Day'
By Sally Hogarty
ONSTAGE THEATRE in Pleasant Hill begins its 31st season with Mark Dunn's "Helen's Most Favorite Day."
The romantic comedy takes place at a small town's summer carnival, where Helen meets and falls in love with a carnie worker who saved her and her sister from disaster on top of the Ferris wheel many years before. A magic wish dooms Helen to repeat the best day of her life forever unless she can be rescued by those nearest and dearest to her.
Directed by Helen Means, the cast includes June McCue, Candice Carter, Roberta Tibbetts, Gary Williams, Mike Kirwin and Janice Anderson. The show runs Sept. 19-Oct. 11 at the School House Culture Center in Pleasant Hill. Call 925-837-3276.

Butterfield 8 Theatre Company also opens its season this weekend with a production of Shakespeare's "The Merchant of Venice." The show, which opened Thursday and runs thru Oct. 11, takes place at Cue Productions Live in Concord.
If you've never been to this space before, you're in for a treat. The creative company reconfigures the space for each show allowing the audience to become intimately involved with the action. John Butterfield directs an adaptation by Maureen-Theresa Williams that Butterfield says invites the audience to "tackle some of the long- debated questions about the characters and their motives."

The Eugene O'Neill Festival gets underway this weekend in Danville. The festival, which opened Thursday and runs thru Sunday, will honor famed actor Paul Robeson, who appeared on stage and in movies in several O'Neill plays. On Thursday, at Danville's Village Theatre, a posthumous presentation was scheduled to be made to Robeson followed by a performance of O'Neill's rarely produced play "All God's Chillun Got Wings," in which Robeson starred in 1924.

The Participants: Women and Their Children During the First Year of Life and at Six Years of Age
Approximately 4,000 pregnant women from across the nation began their participation in the Infant Feeding Practices Study II (IFPS II) between May and December 2005. The success of the research depended upon a high level of participation by the selected women over the course of 15 months. To maximize participation rates, the study selected the sample from a national consumer opinion panel consisting of 500,000 households from throughout the United States. Between March and June of 2012, FDA and CDC conducted the Year Six Follow-Up Study (Y6FU) to characterize the health, development, and diet quality of children who participated in the IFPS II. To qualify for the IFPS II, a healthy woman must have given birth to a singleton, full-term, or near-term infant weighing at least 5 pounds at birth. About 2,000 qualified and continued their participation through their baby's first year for IFPS II. To qualify for Y6FU, the mother had to have answered at least the prenatal and neonatal IFPS II questionnaires and not have been disqualified afterwards due to some medical reasons that affected infant feeding. Of 2,958 mothers who qualified for Y6FU based on IFPS II, 1,542 women participated in the follow-up study yielding a response rate of 52.1%.
With the exception of a brief telephone interview near the time of the infant's birth, all IFPS II data were collected using mailed questionnaires. A subset of women in the sample were asked to complete a modified Diet History Questionnaire prenatally and at about 4 months postpartum, adapted from one developed by the National Cancer Institute, National Institutes of Health. For comparison purposes, the same dietary information was collected from a sample of women of child-bearing age in the same mail panel who were neither pregnant nor postpartum. For Y6FU, two methods were used to collect the data to maximize the response rate. Mothers were first sent a questionnaire through the mail; however, those who did not respond after two attempts of mailed questionnaires were contacted by telephone to obtain the same information by telephone interview.
The Questionnaires of IFPS II
The Prenatal Questionnaire was sent when the woman was in the third trimester of pregnancy. It focused on factors associated with infant feeding choices, the baby's family medical history, and the mother's employment and social support system.
The Neonatal Questionnaire was sent to the mother when her infant was approximately 3 weeks old. This questionnaire examined factors that commonly occur near the time of the birth and that may affect infant feeding choices. It also asked about early feeding practices (including herbal intake by the infant), sources of information, sources of support, and any feeding-related treatment for jaundice.
The Postnatal Questionnaires consist of various combinations of eight modules that were mailed to the mother approximately monthly from the time her infant was 2 months through 7 months of age, then three times (about every 7 weeks) until 12 months of age. Many of the modules included questions that were asked in some months but not others. View the timetable [PDF-43k] for the administration of each topic.
Module A: Infant Feeding and Health
Module A was sent with each Postnatal Questionnaire. This module contained one of the major measures of the study, the infant's food frequency checklist. It also asked about dietary supplement and herbal intake by infants, details about breastfeeding and infant formula feeding, infant health and use of medicines, infant weight and length, stool characteristics, and feeding of commercial baby foods. In month 2 only, it included a measure of postpartum depression.
The food frequency checklist enabled researchers to analyze patterns of breastfeeding exclusivity, in particular whether mothers occasionally gave formula to an infant who was otherwise exclusively breastfed. Patterns of feeding foods other than breast milk and formula indicated the extent to which mothers followed current infant feeding guidelines, such as those published by national professional organizations. Information on whether foods fed to infants are baby foods or not provided information about exposure of infants to foods marketed for older children and adults, including foods fortified at levels only appropriate for older age groups.
Module B: Breastfeeding Cessation
Questions regarding breastfeeding cessation were included on each Postnatal Questionnaire, but they were answered only once, just after the mother had completely stopped breastfeeding. This module established the infant age when breastfeeding ceased and asked reasons for breastfeeding cessation and attitudes toward breastfeeding.
Module C: Food Allergy
Module C asked whether the mother believed that her infant had a food allergy or sensitivity, details of the implicated food, and details of the infant's symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment. Module C was sent at infant ages 4 months, 9 months, and 12 months.
Module D: Breastfeeding, Pumping and Expressing Milk
Module D asked for details about breastfeeding, the mother's sources of information about breastfeeding and breast pumps, any maternal dietary change due to breastfeeding, her reasons for supplementing with formula, and details of her experience expressing breast milk manually or with a breast pump. Module D also included a measure of the mother's embarrassment about breastfeeding and how she managed breastfeeding and work. This module was sent three times, at months 2, 5, and 7.
Module E: Infant Formula
Module E asked for details about formula feeding, formula label use and understanding, sources of information, brand formula choice, brand formula changing, and food safety practices. Module E was sent four times, at months 2, 5, 7, and 9.
Module F: Information Sources
Module F had questions that were not asked together, but rather were inserted among questions in the other modules as appropriate. A question about sources of information on herbal products was sent at months 3 and 10. Questions about information sources for breastfeeding were sent in month 2, and questions about information sources for general infant feeding were sent in months 4 and 10.
Module G: Breastfeeding Awareness Campaign Evaluation
Module G included the direct measures of the mother's awareness of the National Breastfeeding Awareness Campaign messages and whether she agreed with those messages. Like those questions presented in Module F, questions from Module G were not asked as a separate module but rather as questions incorporated at appropriate places in other modules. Questions from Module G were sent in months 3 and 7.
Module H: Sleeping Arrangements, Child Care, Employment, and Health
Module H asked about all topics other than feeding. These included sleeping arrangements and position; child care and child care support for breastfeeding; details of the mother's employment and employer support for breastfeeding; how mothers managed to combine breastfeeding and work for pay; and the mother's overall health, weight status, and tobacco use. Module H was sent in months 3, 6, 9, and 12. A question about exposure to sunlight was administered at infant age 9 months.
Module J: Other Information
Questions about WIC participation and any severe health problems the infants may have encountered were placed at the end of each Postnatal Questionnaire. The presence of severe health conditions disqualified infants from participating in the rest of the study. Certain questions from other modules that did not fit elsewhere were also included in Module J in the months those modules were administered.
The questionnaires of Y6FU have the following five sections:
Section A inquires about child care and characteristics including who cares for the child when not in school and where the childcare occurs, type of school and grade, provision of an individualized education program or any special developmental services, cognitive stimulation at home, and the Strengths and Limitations Questionnaire for evaluating psychosocial development of children.
Section B documents information related to the child's current health status and includes questions that document the measurement of the child's weight and height. The mother was sent a tape measure and instructions on measuring the child's height and was asked to report the measurement. She was also asked to weigh the child on a scale and report the weight. In addition, the mother was asked to report the last height and weight from a doctor's office and the date of the measurements. Section B continues with questions about the mothers' perceptions of her child's weight, dental care, the child's health, and the child's use of herbal or botanical remedies. This section also has detailed questions about breathing difficulties and food allergy. Use of herbal or botanical remedies was included in this section on health rather than in the dietary intake section to measure use of such supplements as medicines rather than as beverages (e.g., herbal tea consumed as a beverage).
Section C asks about the child's level of physical activity, screen time, and sleeping characteristics.
Section D begins with questions about exposure to pets and inhaled contaminants other than cigarette smoke, including air fresheners, scented candles, and pesticides. The remainder of the section is about the child's eating patterns, dietary intake measured by a food frequency questionnaire, the food environment, such as the availability of healthful snacks, and parent control of the child's diet and eating.
Section E is about the mother and family. It includes a family medical history, mother's anthropometry, cigarette smoking by the mother and in the home, mother's physical activity level, a depression scale for the mother, pregnancy and child feeding history, employment, insurance coverage for the child, and receipt of government benefits (including WIC participation for the 6-year-old and any children born after the 6-year-old).

OSU improved to 18-9 on the year while UALR dropped to 18-12.
The Pokes took an 8-0 lead in the second with seven of the runs coming off a three-run homer by leftfielder Scott Kirby and the grand-slam homer by Fields. The final run in the inning came off a RBI single by designated hitter Mario Matulich.
Arkansas-Little Rock cut into the lead in the fifth with a three-run homer by right fielder Aaron Haefele. Those were the only runs Cowboy starter Justin Ottman (1-0) would give up in his five innings of work. He allowed just four hits with five strikeouts and just one walk to pick up his first win in an OSU uniform.
Kirby would add his second homer of the evening, a solo shot, in the bottom half of the inning to extend the lead to 9-3. The Trojans scored two runs in the sixth on a RBI single by first baseman Brodie Ward and on an error by centerfielder Jose Virgil to cut the advantage to 9-5.
UALR added a run in the eighth on a bases loaded walk by shortstop Matt Spatafora off of Cowboy closer Daniel Rew. The Pokes added three insurance runs in the bottom of the inning to make it 12-6.
Arkansas-Little Rock made it interesting in the ninth by adding two more runs on a solo homer by catcher Rick Guarno and a RBI single by first baseman Brodie Ward to cut the lead to 12-8. The Trojans had runners on first and second with two outs before Rew got Haefele to fly out to center to end the game.
Oklahoma State will be back in Big 12 play this weekend against Kansas State at Reynolds Stadium. The series opens on Friday at 6 p.m. with Cowboy right hander Scott Baker slated to take the mound.

What's the #1 most important food item ?
I keep getting these e-mails from different groups and there's always somebody selling a book regarding survival in 2012, surviving a food crisis etc. The one I got today was a book about the 37 food items that will dissapear from the stores first in a crisis and the book claims to tell you the #1 most important food item to store. I'm not planning to buy this $50.00 book but was wondering what you all think is the #1 most important food item to store, not including water?
|The Following User Says Thank You to momof4survivor For This Useful Post:
For us it would be rice. We can catch fish and pick oranges, mangos and coconuts.
|The Following 10 Users Say Thank You to techo For This Useful Post:
Yes rice because you can mix fish you catch or wild greens. Beans would also be good.
|The Following 6 Users Say Thank You to snake3336 For This Useful Post:
No native pests, grows in massive bulk per square inch, high in starch, used as a staple world wide, normally blight resistant. (have more then one variety and you wont face the Irish Potato famine.
Also it is easy to store, and can last years in a cool, dark, dry root cellar.
IMHO I call the potato the North American Survivalist food of choice.

Ultimately, protein and carbohydrates/ starches. Everything those books tell you, you can learn right here...for FREE. I bought into the Y2K crap years ago. I bought books from "experts" , read every article, subscribed to Y2k magazines, ect., ect., Ad Infinitum. After all was said and done ,I sat there looking at all the wasted money I spent for naught, and realized these people didn't believe a flippin' word of what they wrote. It was all about making $$$ off gullible people. Fear sells books just as much as sex, tragedy, and bad news sells newspapers. Nothing will come of this 2012 B.S. . Make "prepping" a lifestyle, and you will not have to worry about some MANUFACTURED impending doomsday. Coincidentally, you will be better off if something REAL actually happens, like a tornado, hurricane, blizzard, job loss, financial crisis. As for food, stock what you use, and use what you stock. When you shop , buy 3 of every can, to get started. One to use, one for your pantry, and one for your reserves. As you use one, buy two to replace it. Rotate stock. Rice is a good , stable , easily stored food that is very cost effective right now. Dried beans are as well, and have protein. Canned meats , such as tuna, chicken, and Spam are good to get you started. Set aside staples, salt, pepper corns ( and a grinder), sugar, instant coffee/ tea, sugar. Then get some comfort foods. Don't buy into the hype...literally. BTW, Recently for fun I did a google search for some of the authors of these old Y2K books...nothing. Y2K was a great business move for them. TP

For us having a large stock of freeze dried and dried fruits is important. Rice would be my second choice since we do not grow it.
We have plenty of long term meat,fish and potatoes,veggies & beans we grow here but not enough producing fruit trees. At least our wild blackberry crop is always doing well.

I go with beans and rice. In equal amounts because I haven't learned of the actual preferred ratio. After those, my preferred items to augment beans and rice are probably tomatoes and onions.
Beans, rice, tomatoes, and onions, when mixed into a meal, can sustain us and remain palatable for a long time.
|The Following 6 Users Say Thank You to gallon For This Useful Post:
I have adopted the premis of "Store what you eat, eat what you store". It is possible to add a little extra of those foods you eat regularly to form the basis of your LTS.
In my case, when I'm buying tinned tuna I buy it by the case on sale. I buy my pasta the same way. My family enjoys rice, so rice is a staple for us.
To me there's no point of buying something for storage if it's not part of your existing diet.

I buy a lot of canned meat as we are big meat eaters. Every time I go to our Family Dollar, I buy a couple of canned hams and every can of barbecue chicken they have. In fact, I just got 3 hams and 12 cans of the chicken about an hour ago.
|The Following 9 Users Say Thank You to PaulaMM For This Useful Post:
Wheat. You can grind it, boil it and sprout it. It's not the perfect protein but you would be able to survive. I also like the canned chili and beer suggestions. It would sure make the wheat taste better.
|The Following 3 Users Say Thank You to Wildrose For This Useful Post:
We focused mainly on wheat,rice and beans. We add stuff every day. But when we made our initial "food stores" that is what we started with. We are currently focusing on oils, canned goods and spices.

National Archives to Display 1823 Copy of Declaration of Independence
Rare document on loan to the National Archives from
(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20080925/DC35252LOGO )
Offering visitors an unprecedented opportunity to see four rare versions of the Declaration, and for the first time in its 75-year history, the National Archives will be displaying at the same time four versions of the Declaration of Independence:
The original, signed Declaration of Independence, engrossed (handwritten) on parchment and signed by 56 delegates to the Continental Congress beginning
August 2, 1776. It is permanently displayed, sealed in the most scientifically advance housing that preservation technology can provide, in the National Archives Rotunda for the Charters of Freedom.
The Dunlap Broadside, the first printed copy of the Declaration, made on the night of
July 4thby John Dunlapthe official printer to Congress, displayed in the Lawrence F. O'Brien Gallery of the National Archives Building. On the morning of July 5, copies were dispatched by members of Congress to various assemblies, conventions, and committees of safety as well as to the commanders of Continental troops. Also on July 5, a copy of the printed version of the approved Declaration was inserted into the "rough journal" of the Continental Congress for July 4. This rarely displayed print is featured in "BIG!", an exhibition celebrating the 75th anniversary of the National Archives that runs through January 3, 2010.
The original copper plate created by Mr.
William J. Stonein 1823 to make facsimiles of the Declaration of Independence, on display at the entrance to the "Public Vaults" exhibition. Mr. Stone was commissioned by Secretary of State John Quincy Adamsin 1820 to make a facsimile of the entire Declaration, signatures as well as text. By June 5, 1823, almost exactly 47 years after Jefferson's first draft of the Declaration, it was reported "that Mr. William J. Stone, after a labor of three years, completed a facsimile of the original of the Declaration of Independence, now in the archives of the government; that it is executed with the greatest exactness and fidelity; and that the Department of State has become the purchaser of the plate."
A first printing on parchment of the Declaration of Independence struck from the copper engraving plate by
William J. Stonein 1823, on display in the entrance to the "Public Vaults" exhibition near the original copper plate from July 1 through September 17. This rare version of the Declaration is on loan from Mr. Rubenstein. 200 parchment copies were struck from the plate and distributed to the three surviving signers, (Jefferson, Adams, and Carroll), former President James Madison, President Monroe, the Marquis de Lafayette, the Congress, the Supreme Court, each state and territorial governor and legislatures, and unspecified colleges and universities.

I agree with Babin. The Eagles use to be my favorite team. Now I back the Ravens - they are one of the best around.
Originally written on Helmet2Helmet | Last updated 11/19/14
Though he's now a Jaguar, Jason Babin still harbors significant hostility toward the Eagles, who surprisingly released him last month. Made available to the media Wednesday, Babin didn't hold his tongue. The defensive end touched on a variety topics, including his time in Philly and their "socialistic" organization. For the former, Babin intimated that he just never jived in the City of Brotherly Love. "They have a different approach and a different style than I do," Babin said, via Adam Caplan of The Sideline View. "It's upsetting because they knew what they were getting when they hired me. I don't know if they were going to try and change me. My stripes are kind of already the way they are, the way I practice, aggressive, loud, the way I play the game. I don't know, I just guess they thought they could change the way I went about my business." In reference to his "socialistic" barb, Babin pointed to the firing of defensive line coach Jim Washburn as an example of the E...

In contrast, for a scenario with strong emissions reductions, experts expect a sea-level rise of 40-60 centimeters by 2100 and 60-100 centimeters by 2300.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has been keeping a close eye on rising sea levels and has released several reports outlining the forecasts for the future of our world's oceans.
The study is the first to give a comprehensive projection for this long perspective, based on observed sea-level rise over the past millennium, as well as on scenarios for future greenhouse-gas emissions.
According to new study, extreme weather events that the Earth has experienced in the past decade were caused by global warming.
New forecasts on rising sea levels suggest that New York will be a big loser, while some regions, including those closer to polar regions, will win big.
A new study has found that global warming is playing a major role in driving the string of freezing European winters over the past decade.
A 2009 claim that sea levels would rise up to 32 inches by the end of the century, is being retracted, as the original report's author says the real estimate is still not known.
At an Oxford University climate conference, experts announced that sea levels across the globe will almost inevitably rise more than 6 feet.
The world's oceans are becoming more acidic, which poses a threat to sea life and Earth's fragile food chain, a climate expert said Thursday.

Hi, Before I installed w8 I rest my bios to defaults ,due to some tweaking .i forgot to change the hdd settings to Sata / ahci ,according to device manager the hdd,s are in IDE mode . I did a registry hack with w7 ,but had a few problems with the os hdd booting ,finally did . Can I do the same for w8. I have read that changing the bios settings would make the hdd unreadable ,s this also correct. Hope to hear from you soon ,thanks

This is an alternative method with the registry change already created and you need to extract it and merge I would think. Then reboot to bios and change to AHCI. http://www.ithinkdiff.com/how-to-enable-ahci-in-windows-8-after-installation/
Both carry risks and I haven't tried either method.
In the first link, as you're already in ata mode you only need to start at 5 in the list.
Whichever method you choose make backups first. Good luck.
