Meth lab components seized in Delta County
FORD RIVER TOWNSHIP - Delta County law enforcement agencies are investigating a a possible meth lab. Detectives from the Upper Peninsula Substance Enforcement Team say they were asked to assist the Delta County Sheriff's department with the possible lab. Sheriff's deputies had been called to the Ford River Township residence on a well-being check. Once at the residence, deputies gained information about a "one pot" meth lab. UPSET and County Sheriff's deputies acquired and executed a search warrant and discovered the lab including a "one pot" cook and other components for the manufacture of methamphetamine. UPSET detectives transported the hazardous waste to an approved holding site. A man and a woman were arrested at the scene on unrelated charges. A report is being forwarded to the Delta County Prosecutor's office for review and possible further charges.

In Great Sky Woman, "daringly epic in scope," (Publishers Weekly), Steven Barnes's Great Sky Woman unveiled the world of a prehistoric people in the shadow of modern-day Mount Kilimanjaro. Now, in Shadow Valley, the astounding sequel, we follow the Ibandi people's odyssey through a land where everything has changed-a land from whose ashes will grow the roots of civilization and the enduring truths of love, family, forgiveness, and faith.After the catastrophic eruption of Father Mountain, the Ibandi are divided, desperate, and afraid. Most have followed the only person in whom they still believe: young Sky Woman, who was on the great mountain when it exploded and who, along with Frog Hopping, returned to tell the tale. Nurtured by an elder whose searing visions have left her blind, Sky Woman nonetheless doubts her own visionary powers as she follows a path she can hardly discern-across savannah and parched plains-to find a valley of plenty for a people on the brink of collapse.But in fact, Sky Woman and Frog were not the only survivors of the mountain's explosion. Another man has emerged from the destruction, vengeance pulsing in his veins, to lead a separate group of Ibandi into a vicious and reckless act of war. Soon these two strands of survivors will meet, through chance, desperation, and sheer willpower. In a world in which every moment is lived on the edge between life and death, where animal and human predators can strike in an instant, where the gods themselves seem lost, and dreams entwine with reality, a people's destiny rushes toward them. The Ibandi must make a last, violent stand against complete destruction. In this hypnotic, thrilling, and beautiful novel, Steven Barnes explores relationships between friends and lovers, leaders and followers, strangers and allies. At once visceral and soaringly insightful, Shadow Valley is about who we are as human beings today as seen through the wondrous prism of our distant past.From the Hardcover edition.
Steven Barnes is a prolific author and scriptwriter who has been nominated for Hugo, Cable Ace, and Endeavor awards. His work for television includes episodes of Twilight Zone, Outer Limits, Stargate SG-1, and Andromeda. A lifelong student of human performance… More about Steven Barnes

Sports Anchor Pulls Fantastic Tribute to Robin Williams During Newscast [VIDEO]
Legendary Actress Lauren Bacall Passes Away at 89
Lauren Bacall, the legendary actress who gave us memorable performances in classic films like 'Key Largo' and 'How to Marry a Millionaire,' has sadly passed away at the age of 89. A talented woman who appeared in many films in the Golden Age of Hollywood, Bacall was a true silver screen icon.

Remembering Robin Williams: The Actor We All Felt We Knew
"Can you believe Popeye is played by the guy who plays Mork?" These words from my mother blew my seven-year-old mind. That's my intro to a piece I don't know how to write and, honestly, probably shouldn't be writing so soon after learning about Robin Williams' death. I only had one encounter with Williams professionally – an interview promoting 'Happy Feet 2,' of all things – yet there are tears coming down my face as I type this for what is essentially a stranger. Even though he's not a stranger. Everyone knew him. This is everyone's loss.
RIP Robin Williams: A Look Back at the Late Actor's Best Work
Robin Williams' death is shocking and heartbreaking and touches us in a way usually reserved for close friends. Maybe that's because we're of a generation that grew up on Robin Williams. He's been making us laugh and cheering us up since we were kids; like a big-screen father figure. That he died suffering from severe depression, makes the news all the more tragic. As director Garry Marshall, who first cast Williams in 'Happy Days' and later 'Mork and Mindy,' said today, "He could make everybody happy but himself."
He made everyone happy and in that spirit, we'd like to celebrate his work, and we asked a few of our writers to look back at their favorite moments of his career.

28 year old man | Winter Park, FL, USA | Seeking women 21-30 within 30 miles
You know, trying to figure out how to effectively sell myself here, I am starting to see the value of the pimp.
So I suppose I'll start with a little bit about myself. I'm Scott, I'm a writer, and a performer, and a comedian. I just started going to full sail and am really invested in it right now. I probably won't even have time for a relationship in the months to come, however, there is something about the right girl that can lead a man to make time for a relationship. So what am I looking for? I'm looking for someone with goals. Someone who actively pursues their dreams. Someone who does not take no for an answer and is good at getting what they want. The biggest problem with most of the girls that fit into that category is that they tend to have schedules as hectic as mine. What's a poor boy to do? I can't just pick up one of those dumb 50's sandwich making types, I get bored easily if a girl can't keep up. Really I can sit here and write 5000 characters worth of my memoirs all day long, but I tend to be skeptical of this online match making stuff anyway. I mean who really wants to say I met the one in a database. "It was so romantic, I clicked search, and there she was, smiling at me with that grainy over exposed red eye, and I knew right then that I had to add her to my mass email with the subject line 2hot42night" I mean really? So, now that I've probably scared off most of you, only the "impossible to get time with" and "really desperate" should be left

Took a chance on this show because I was a fan of Pantera and Down and I'm glad I did. Thoroughly entertaining even though I didn't know any of the songs beforehand, and great sound and acoustics at the venue. Also enjoyed Warbeast quite a bit.

Today I volunteered at the Greater Boston Food Bank. I worked on the loading dock. Through out the day trucks pulled up we piled on sacks of potatoes onions and cabbages. Loaded on boxes of cereal and toiletries. All these will be heading out to the more then 600 food banks and shelters throughout Massachusetts.
While working on the dock we met many of the people who run these food banks and shelters. Hearing their stories really opened my eyes. Some are in so much need that they only can open their doors 3 days a week because that is all they have enough food for. Others have to put limits on how much food families can take so that they have enough to go around. The many things we take for granted everyday, are not a luxury for others.
The need for food has grown even more this year due to the economy. So far they have distributed 35 million pounds of food this year out of the 50 million pounds that they are able to hold at the facility. This gets you to thinking. I have a roof over my head and I have food to eat everyday. After working at the Food Bank today I will think twice about complaining that I have nothing to eat because I may not want what I have in my fridge or cabinets. There are others out there who have NOTHING! I have while others need.
I began thinking of ways that I can help, but I am just one person. So maybe you can help too! Let's start simple. Most supermarkets have a donation box at the front of the store. Each week while doing your grocery shopping pick up a couple of extra cans and boxes of food and drop them in! If money is tight, challenge your friends, family and even your co-workers to give up a few hours of time and volunteer at the Food Bank. Though most people think they only need help during the holidays, this is not true. They need help ALL year round. There is sorting to be done, shelves to be stocked and there are trucks to be loaded.
Maybe through these small ideas, we can make a big difference. So spread the word. Lend a can and a hand. We can maybe make the holidays and the year better for those who are in need.

Mark Cuban, shown here at SXSW, is speaking out against "tax inversions" today. David Paul Morris/Bloomberg
The UpTake: Mark Cuban is pulling his money from the stock of any companies that do so-called "tax inversions" to avoid paying U.S. taxes. Perhaps by setting off some public shaming, Cuban will be more successful than President Obama who seeks quick-fix legislation to stop the practice.
S hark Tank investor and billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban showed his utter distaste for so-called "tax inversions" today with a vow to sell off the stock of any company that takes advantage of a method used to dodge U.S. corporate taxes.
Cuban tweeted a series of messages on Twitter this morning, laying out his case. "If I own stock in your company and you move offshore for tax reasons I'm selling your stock. There are enough investment choices here," and "When companies move off shore to save on taxes, you and I make up the tax shortfall elsewhere sell those stocks and they won't move."
The Dallas Maverick owner's comment came a day after President Barack Obama spoke out against the tax dodge maneuver and urged Congress to stop them through short-term legislation. U.S. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew called for American companies to show some "economic patriotism."
"Tax inversion" is a term for what happens when a U.S. company sets up or buys another company in a country with a lower corporate tax rate and then christens that new country home, avoiding U.S. taxes it would otherwise have had to pay. The trick is more than three decades old, but a wave of inversions this year has prompted the Obama administration to call on Congress to slam the loophole shut, CNBC reports.
The companies that made tax inversion moves recently include Charlotte, N.C.-based Chiquita Brands International which merged with Dublin Ireland's Fyffe earlier this year, and Chicago-based drug maker AbbVie, which signed a nearly $55 billion deal to acquire drugmaker Shire PLC earlier this month, a move that will allow it to substantially cut its corporate tax bill by moving its legal address to the United Kingdom.
After getting an MA in journalism from Syracuse University, Teresa worked as a general assignment newspaper reporter—general on purpose because besides the usual city hall and police articles, there was the chance to fly an F-18 with the Blue Angels and tag along with bounty hunters on a stakeout—all good preparation for covering entrepreneurs.

I have mail you dummy xml file.
Hi – I can't seem to get the home page working – there is no sliders, projects, etc. even though this is enabled in the home page settings. (I seem to be having the same problem as weare79 comment on page 2.)
Hello funkarchitect,
Thanks for purchasing Pixelove !
Are you trying to install data using old backup ? If so, Slider & other custom post types will not work.
You need to add data manually as your previous theme will not have same custom post types as pixelove.

Hi Quadcodes: This is a new installation and I have entered some sliders, projects, services, but I don't see anything on the home page.
I deleted the original template page and replaced it with one of my own – was I maybe meant to use this original template page?
Hi Quadcodes – I figured out where I was going wrong: I misunderstood your instructions about static-pages to mean that I had to select a static page. I reverted to the standard setting and now it works.
hi, can You tell me how to add pictures into gallery by using pixelove gallery (under project menu) it seems to be not working plus there's place for a thumb plus only one image, thanks!
Hello sellekt,
Thanks for purchasing Pixelove !
Gallery images you have added will be only visible if you create page with page template "Gallery".
Are you looking to Create Project with Image gallery ? Then use Project Post Type instead.

I tried uploading the .js file to the server through a ftp client and wasn't able to overwrite the file. When I tried changing the file permission I would get an error "Operation not permitted". Seems like the theme is on lockdown? Do you know any way around this. Thanks!
There might be is something wrong with ftp configuration. Try loggin through Hosting Control panel & then upload respective js.
The theme has been working out great!
I have one more question. In the backend, under the projects section is there away to have a project image to have a link instead of having it iframe into a gallery?
I tried removing all the product photos and added an image in the Project Caption to make it appear like a project image is present but don't know what the best snippet of code would be to use for this method.
Let me know if there is a easy way to add a link to a project image or if you know a snippet of code that would work best in the project Caption.
Is there any way to add a link to a project image 1?
Please contact me via mail & I'll tell you the workaround.

Hi! i love the ajax porfolio but i need to customize the order of projects and slides. Do you know how can i change it? I've been trying with different plugins but it doesn't work. Thank you!
Hello mimetica,
Thanks for purchasing Pixelove !
You can change project order from theme option panel under general tab.
- Mandar
Thank you Mandar!, i see that i can change the ascending/descending order but i need to change the position of the projects when i want, for example i have an important old project and i want to see it at the top of the portfolio.
Sorry ! But Pixelove do not support sticky post.
I love this purchase, although I have a few issues that might be considered bugs? First major issue is the page template "quote" is not working. I have all the budget and location information entered although when I view the page it comes up blank. Second, I have a project under a specific category that is a "video post type" that does not appear when filtering to that specific category. Third, I have a custom page menu specified for the top bar although it's not updating and is displaying all pages. My domain is http://www.MediaTrendsENT.com Once again I love this theme, but these few problems need to be fixed.
Very Nice theme!!
My doubt is if a can select the category of portfolio to appear in the Home (just want to use 1 category, are 2), and if a can make different portfolio pages, and select some categorys for them too.
Hello ffpaniago,
Thanks for purchasing Pixelove !
Unfortunately, Pixelove do not allow multiple category portfolio.
- Mandar
ThanKs Mandar!!
I made it in blog page (probably will work in protfolio too): duplicated template-blog and renamed to template-blog2.php.
Than I changed the template name and inserted in line 18 the "&cat=1"
<?php query_posts("post_type=post&order=$order&paged=$paged&cat=1"); ?>
Than I have a page only with the category i want
Thank You!!
Hello ffpaniago,
Yes, You can do it like this for portfolio aswell but then you have to create new template for each category separately.
Hi Mandar,
Could you please enlighten me how change the order of the project list based on its item name (not date it's posted)?
Thank you for your help.
Hello krispiyanto,
Thanks for purchasing Pixelove !
If you want to change order of the projects on homepage, Open index.php located inside themes directory & replace line no : 76 with this :
<?php query_posts("post_type=project&orderby=title&order=$order&posts_per_page=-1"); ?>
Additionally, You can even configure Ascending / Descending Order of the projects through Theme Option Panel => General => Post Order
- Mandar
Thank you for your quick response!
How about the projects that are not on homepage? Which line should be changed?
Again, thank you!
For other pages, Open template-portfolio.php & Do the same changes on line no : 69
How do I create projects in my portfolio that display on my portfolio page but not on my homepage and vis versa.
Hello colinodle,
Thanks for purchasing Pixem !
Please contact me via mail with temporary login details to your WordPress installation & I'll work on your query.

France aims against TV for toddlers
France's broadcast authority has banned French channels from airing TV shows aimed at children under 3 years old, to shield them from developmental risks it says television viewing poses at that age.
Rupert Murdoch's News Corp., and BabyFirstTV, which has ties to News Corp.'s Fox Entertainment.
The High Audiovisual Council, in a ruling published Wednesday, said it wanted to "protect children under 3 from the effects of television."
France's minister for culture and communication, Christine Albanel, issued a "cry of alarm" to parents in June about channels dedicated 24 hours a day to baby-targeted programming. In a newspaper interview, she called them "a danger" and urged parents not to use them to help their children get to sleep.

Protests prompt book's removal
A Serbian publisher said Wednesday it has withdrawn a controversial book by American writer Sherry Jones because of protests from the local Islamic community.
The book, "Jewel of Medina," is about Aisha, one of the Prophet Muhammad's wives. It gained worldwide attention after Random House canceled its publication, fearing an uproar in the Islamic world.
Serbian publisher BeoBook released the book but decided to withdraw it because of protests from local Islamic leaders who said it insulted Muhammad and his family.

Maddow gets MSNBC show
Rachel Maddow already has some ideas for her new show on MSNBC, which debuts Sept. 8.
"Live audience. Live punk band. You know, mariachis for important segues," she joked with Keith Olbermann on Tuesday evening during an appearance on his program to announce her new gig.
No matter what form her show takes, there's no question that the 35-year-old host will cut a different figure than most of her cable brethren.
An openly gay woman, unapologetic liberal and Rhodes scholar with a doctorate from Oxford University, Maddow has drawn a passionate following during her stint this year as an analyst for MSNBC.
On Wednesday, the network officially announced that it was replacing Dan Abrams' program "Verdict" in the 6 p.m. time slot with "The Rachel Maddow Show."

The top news of the day is the deal to avert the fiscal cliff. Early this morning, the House grudgingly accepted the deal with allows some Bush era tax cuts to expire but puts off decisions on federal spending. President Obama is going to sign it, but things might be a bit frosty for awhile on Capitol Hill. According to Politico, House Speaker John Boehner had some choice advice for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.
While you were making out with your cat alone in your apartment, Taylor Swift was filmed making out with her latest famous boyfriend, Harry Styles as the ball dropped on Times Square. In other Haylor news (sadly there is actually other Haylor news), Swift already wrote a song about the One Direction singer titled "I Knew You Were Trouble." You can squeal now.
Not to be upstaged by Taylor Swift in the PDA department, self-professed fame whore Kathy Griffin got down and dirty with Anderson Cooper during their New Year's Eve show. And because it was on the august CNN, many people are clutching their pearls. Tightly.

While the coming of the railways to Britain's towns and cities in the nineteenth century transformed their fortunes and gave urban dwellers new opportunities to travel across the country, the effect on the largely rural population of the country was arguably far greater. And while some of the initial trunk lines were designed to link major cities, the network of smaller cross-country and branch lines that followed opened up large tracts of previously remote countryside, providing new markets for agricultural produce but also ending the isolation of many rural communities. For many railway enthusiasts, the country railway was typified by the shorter but no less important branch line. Many of these railways began life as independent companies promoted by local people wishing to ensure their community was linked to the main line, but inevitably they were often taken over by large operations like the Great Western, but inevitably remained an important part of the districts and communities they served.

I get embarrassed watching one "As Seen On TV" product being demonstrated. When I first saw it on TV I thought I had stumbled on an SNL bit show or something.
"Honestly, this must be a joke," I thought. But, nooooo. It was for real....
The product I'm talking about is the "Shake Weight."
It makes pre-teen boys giggle to watch the video I am sure.
The Shake Weight claims to tone and firm arms in just six minutes a day The Price: $20 in stores
There is supposedly science behind this dumbbell that claims to tone shoulders and arms in just a few minutes a day.
I just couldn't do it with a straight face. And, I certainly wouldn't admit it to anyone if I did own the thing. Which I don't...honestly. No, I'm not kidding.

How Do I Change My Calling Plan?
To change your Plan, go to vzw.com/changeplan and sign in to My Verizon. Or if you're already signed in, you can select "Change Minutes, Text or Data" from the left navigation on the My Verizon overview page.
Next, you'll see an overview of charges related to your current plan selections highlighted in blue. Depending on your current plan you will see one of two different flows.
If you are on a Nationwide Plan you'll see your current plan, options to make changes within the current Nationwide Plan (if one is available) a link for you to explore our new MORE Everything plan. You can make changes within your current plan by clicking on the allowance option. If you need help deciding how much data you need, click on "How much do I need" to use our data usage calculator.
In addition to the options you currently have, there may be some new plans available such as the More Everything plan. To learn more about these plans, click on the "More Everything Plan" link at the top of the page. If you choose to learn more about the "More Everything" plan, you will be shown the plan options that are available to you so can select the flexibility you need.
Once you've made your selection for the changes to your plan, you will see the monthly access fee noted on the right side of the page. If would like to continue with the changes, click "Continue to Next Step". If the changes you have made create a conflict with your current feature selection, you will then be taken back to manage your features. Make any changes here. You will see your current and new charges listed on the right. Once you have completed your changes, click "Next". If there is no conflict, you will go directly to choose your effective date. If you are currently on a More Everything Plan, you will have a slightly different process.

If you wish to make a change, simply select the data amount you would like, and click next. You can view additional plan info or included features by clicking the links at the bottom of the page. Regardless of which flow you are in, the Effective Date options will be shown along with a bulleted list of how the changes will impact your charges and allowances. If you've increased your allowance, you may want to backdate to the start of your billing cycle to take immediate advantage of your new selection. If you decreased your allowance, you may want to select a future date to keep your higher allowance until your next bill. Make the selection that best fits your needs. If you choose today your allowances will be prorated You'll see a credit for access billed in advance on the old plan and you'll see a charge for access to the new plan from today's date through the end of the current bill cycle.

The blend modes in Photoshop offer incredible creative options for designers and photographers wanting to enhance images. In Photoshop Blend Mode Magic, Michael Ninness shows Photoshop users how to access and apply blend modes efficiently to achieve an aesthetic vision. He explains the building blocks of layer blending and demonstrates how blend modes can be used for color correction, sharpening, blending images together, adding dramatic glow, applying custom edge treatments, and many other creative effects. Michael also introduces advanced blending options for more experienced Photoshop users. Most of all, he demystifies this essential feature in plain, easy-to-understand terms and inspires photographers to use blend modes in ways they may have never considered before. Exercise files accompany the course.
All right. This is one of my favorite techniques of all time in Photoshop and it's the HighPass sharpening technique. If you are like me, a designer, you are visual, and you want to so something as quickly as possible in Photoshop. Yes, there are many different ways to sharpen an image inside of Photoshop. You know there is the Sharpen Filters, there is lame, lamer, lamest and then probably one of the two that you have been taught to use or have been told to use. The problem I have with these filters is that you kind of have to understand the relationship between all these sliders, right. There is Amount, there is Radius, there is Threshold. They are related. When you change the Radius that changes the impact of the Amount and Threshold, and whatnot. Some of you may have actually learned what these relationships are and mastered them.
Perhaps you watched very long title just on sharpening in the Online Training Library. I'm looking for a quick technique though. One that involves only one slider, right. I don't want to have to sit there and memorize a bunch of stuff, so let's begin this technique. We are going to go ahead and duplicate our original layer, Command+J, Ctrl+J, and we'll go ahead and call this High Pass. It gives you a clue where we are going with this. If you are a designer, you'll probably have at one point spent all day in Photoshop touching every single filter, just to see what it would do, and eight hours later you get to the bottom of the filter list.
There's an Other menu and you got to High Pass. You went "great, it made my image gray," you hit Cancel, and you never came back. Well, it turns out that the High Pass filter is one of the greatest filters inside Photoshop, because it's an edge detection filter. If you recall, when you sharpen an image, what are you doing? You are increasing the contrast of edge pixels. An edge is a light pixel next to a dark pixel. So when you sharpen, the dark pixel gets darker, the light pixel gets lighter. Sharpening just increases the contrast of those light and dark pixels. We want this to be ultimately flexible, we want to be able to undo or change our mind after the fact. So we are going to convert this High Pass layer into a Smart Object.
I'm going to right-click on that, Ctrl-click, say Convert to Smart Object. And this gives us the ability to apply a filter non-destructively to this layer. So we'll go to the Filter menu. Again we'll come down to Other > High Pass and don't be alarmed. Yes, it's making your image gray, but let's talk about that for a second. Anything that's not an edge becomes 50% gray. Anything that is an edge gets darker on the dark half and lighter on light half. So it's basically doing an edge enhancement. It's an edge detection filter.
Generally your Radius is going to be somewhere between two and three, sometimes you will go higher and sometimes you will go lower, depending on the detail in your image and the resolution of the image. I generally start with 2.5 for just about every image, right in the middle between two and three. I am going to go ahead and click OK. Hmmm. If only I could make all that gray stuff go away. Well what blend mode ignores gray? Well, that would be Overlay or any of the contrast blend modes. But here is the thing. If I go to the Blend Mode list, this is going to be changing the blend mode of the actual layer.
I am going to take this opportunity to tell you that if you have a smart filter applied to a layer like we have done here, and as a reminder we got there by converting this layer to a Smart Object, the filter itself has it's own blend mode options. There is this little slider to the right of High Pass here in the Layers panel now and if I double-click on that slider, it reopens the Blending Options for that filter. And you can see I have the same Blend Mode list. Now I'm going to choose Overlay. And voila! Look at that. All the gray pixels go away. I click OK.
Here is before, here is after, and you can see that High Pass sharpening effect applied to a duplicate layer, set to Overlay, is a really quick easy way to do sharpening. If I double-click on the word High Pass that reopens the filter. It remembers the last setting. Right now it's 2.5 and now I have the ability to adjust this on the fly. I can increase it to 4.3 let's say. I can take it down. So you have the ability to fine-tune the level of sharpening. If you thought 2.5 was too strong, we can take it down to 1.8 let's say. And there is before and there is after.
We click OK and you have got a very flexible and fun way to do image sharpening without having even to memorize a bunch of sliders and rules.

Every morning, we compile the links of the day and dump them here… highlighting the big storyline. Because there's nothing quite as satisfying as a good morning dump. So Rivers is grappling with two potential scenarios: Coaching a team that could be a legitimate contender in the Clippers, which could be a refreshing start, or once again bringing one of the most storied franchises in NBA history back to prosperity. The Celtics desperately want Rivers to remain in Boston. Ainge doesn't want to drastically change the culture of the franchise with a new coach. He has developed a nearly flawless working relationship with Rivers. Ainge handles the transactions and the two collaborate on major moves. There is a healthy respect and there has been so much recent change — Ray Allen signing with the Heat and the loss of assistant general manager Ryan McDonough — that Ainge wants to keep the rest of the family intact. And this may be the primary reason Ainge asked the Clippers for so much in re...

Aiken and Edgefield counties could find it more difficult to grow industry and attract new businesses as a result of stronger air quality standards being considered on the federal level, according to national and state environmental regulators.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is reviewing rule changes that may put more than half of South Carolina counties, including Aiken and Edgefield, at risk of falling out of compliance with federal smog standards, a designation that would create more stringent emission limits.
According to EPA Spokeswoman Enesta Jones, the organization may target a reduction of ground-level ozone, a lung irritant and key ingredient in smog produced by power plants, factories and cars, as part of its five-year review of the Clean Air Act.
Catherine Templeton, director of S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control, indicated in a letter to members of the S.C. General Assembly that failing to comply with more stringent restrictions could hinder economic development as well as restrict the flow of federal transportation funding for highway and transit projects.
Will Williams, executive director of the Aiken-Edgefield Economic Development Partnership, agreed with Templeton's assessment.
"It could be more costly for business to come into the area because they're going to have a more demanding regulatory review process," Williams said.
He added, however, that he believed industry in the state has worked "extremely hard" over the last decade to operate more cleanly and efficiently.
He also said the level of potentially harmful emissions should be reduced "over the next several years" as a number of the state's coal plants are set to be closed or converted to natural gas facilities.
Jim Beasley, a spokesman for DHEC, explained that emission standards in Aiken and Edgefield counties are also largely affected by the industrial impact of the City of Augusta and Richmond County.
"Air quality knows no boundaries, including county or state boundaries," Beasley said, explaining that curbing emissions requires cross-state partnerships and solutions.
He noted a region's level of emissions can be impacted by population growth, traffic, commuting patterns and sources of pollution.
S.C. Sen. Shane Massey explained that at this time, he doesn't have a heightened level of concern because the EPA is currently only considering the stronger restrictions and have not approved any updated regulations.
"It looks like they're giving us a warning about a potential change that the EPA might make," Massey said referring to Templeton's letter. "The EPA has not made that change yet. They're kind of guessing at what might happen."
He also said both Aiken and Edgefield counties currently meet ground-level ozone standards, emphasizing that's the case despite being right across the border from Augusta.
He also hoped state lawmakers wouldn't prematurely respond to the proposed higher standards being considered.
"I'd be reluctant to take action that could be excessive or even harmful to the business environment based on what you anticipate the EPA might do."

Background: Political Wrap
[Sorry, the video for this story has expired, but you can still read the transcript below. ]
KWAME HOLMAN: The tempest began stirring midweek with the first substantial public criticism of President Bush's antiterror campaign from senior Senate Democrats.
Robert Byrd, chairman of the Appropriations Committee, worried about the cost: "We seem to be good at developing entrance strategies, not so good at developing exit strategies. If we expect to kill every terrorist in the world, that's going to keep us going beyond doomsday. How long can we afford this?"
Joseph Biden, chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, said of the Bush Administration: should lay out a strategy. "People are willing to give them the benefit of the doubt for a while if they… have a real plan. The longer the time moves on and the less you see of the details of the plan, you're going to hear more and more people – Democrat and Republican – saying, 'Whoa, wait a minute.'"
Yesterday, Senate Democratic leader Tom Daschle stood by the sentiments of his colleagues and made comments of his own.
SEN. TOM DASCHLE: I have said all along we need to ask the tough questions. There may be support in general for the President's request for defense, but somebody's got to ask tough questions and no one does a better job of that than Senator Byrd.
KWAME HOLMAN: Daschle also set a marker for measuring success.
SEN. TOM DASCHLE: Clearly, we've got to find Mohammed Omar, we've got to find Osama bin Laden, and we've got to find other key leaders of the al-Qaida network, or we will have failed. I think that it's critical that we keep the pressure on, we do the job that this country is committed to doing. But we're not safe until we have broken the back of al-Qaida, and we haven't done that yet.
KWAME HOLMAN: Immediately after Daschle spoke, Senate Republican leader Trent Lott issued a statement saying: "How dare Senator Daschle criticize President Bush while we are fighting our war on terrorism, especially when we have troops in the field." Daschle's office responded, saying: "Some have chosen to characterize remarks Senator Daschle made this morning on the war on terrorism as critical of President Bush.
In fact, the transcript of Senator Daschle's remarks indicates no criticism of President Bush or his campaign against terrorism." Nonetheless, on the NewsHour last night, Senator Lott again challenged Daschle's comments.
SEN. TRENT LOTT: Any crack in the show of support for our commander in chief on this war I think is not helpful. We also need to be supportive of the necessary funds for the defense budget. Should the Congress raise questions about, okay, do you need all of this and exactly how is this going to be used, surely that's part of our job. But if you say that, if we don't get bin Laden, if we don't get Mullah Omar, then it has been a failure, or begin to raise questions about what was needed to do this job, I think it is not helpful.
KWAME HOLMAN: Today, Senator Daschle was quizzed again by reporters.
SEN. TOM DASCHLE: I think the Republicans' reaction is nothing short of hysterical. I'm amused, frankly. I'd ask them to look at what I said, because I stand by what I said. The Congress has a constitutional responsibility to ask questions. We are not a rubber stamp to this President or to anybody else. We must do what the Constitution and what our best judgment requires, and we'll continue to do that.
KWAME HOLMAN: At an event in Iowa today, the President himself was asked about the Democratic criticism of the cost and pace of the antiterror effort.
PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH: Well, I think most Americans understand that… that it's going to… this is a… that it's going to take a while to achieve all our objectives; that by far, the vast majority of Americans are patient. They know when you're looking for one person who may be hiding in a cave, it may take a while.
