Hinesville, Flemington and Liberty County have agreed to share almost a quarter million in tax dollars to aid tourism, but a law could paralyze the effort by slapping heavy restrictions on their spending.
Firefighters who battled a 90-acre blaze in Long County Monday were able to stop the flames from consuming at least one home.
Liberty County Republicans have recently been active in county and district conventions.
Raging forest fires, water scarcity and environmental decay are just a few major dilemmas resulting from this year's statewide drought.
During an all-day retreat this week at The Heritage Bank, the Liberty County Board of Education decided to stick with its five goals developed with the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. The board plans to make the information available to the public.
"It's shocking when we go and serve a search warrant at a house and they have a toddler walking around while a pile of marijuana is just sitting on top of the table, readily accessible," said an agent with the Multi Agency Crack Enforcement (MACE) drug task force who asked that his name not be revealed to protect his identity.
A 3-year-old boy cries himself to sleep each night from lack of food. A 12-year-old girl wanders the streets during the day instead of going to school. A family of four kids and two parents live in a bug infested, dilapidated trailer without running water.
The Georgia Environmental Protection Division is cracking down on the city of Walthourville for its water use.
As African American slaves once inhabited this area years ago, a hint of irony lingers since they too lived in a county predicated on and named for its liberty.
State Rep. Al Williams is not giving up on his goal for Georgia to issue an official apology for slavery.
Liberty County's Relay for Life has proven to be a huge success, with more than $163,000 in donations being raised for the American Cancer Society, according to organizers.
Hoping to assist low-income residents, the Walthourville City Council is working to make housing in the city more affordable.
The Liberty County Board of Education had a goal-setting retreat Monday and found their goals inextricably tied to the need for finding a new superintendent.
ATLANTA - A construction manager is all smiles after winning $250,000 in the April 6 Mega Millions drawing.
Tensions surfaced Thursday as Hinesville City Council members disputed the necessity of installing red-light cameras in town.
CHARLESTON, S.C. - Lines of mourners began forming at the crack of dawn at TD Arena at the College of Charleston, not far from the Emanuel AME Church, where the Rev. and South Carolina Sen. Clementa Pinckney and eight others were gunned down last week.
A wrongful-death lawsuit against the city of Richmond Hill and one of its police officers is now headed to the Georgia Court of Appeals.
The U.S. Supreme Court, in a 6-3 ruling Thursday, upheld the Affordable Care Act subsidies that have helped millions of Americans, including 412,000 Georgians, obtain insurance coverage.
The Wednesday night killing of nine people by a white gunman in a historic black church in Charleston, South Carolina, highlights the need for everyone to come together and discuss the difficult topics of race, politics and religion, according to the Liberty County NAACP president.

Stuffed Lettuce Leaves
|Iceberg lettuce leaves
|Canned white kidney beans
|3 Ounce, drained
|Low fat cottage cheese
|2 Tablespoon (Plus 2 Teaspoons)
|Onion flakes
|1 Teaspoon
|Oregano leaves
|1⁄2 Teaspoon
|1⁄8 Teaspoon
|Ground red pepper
|1 Dash
|Canned crushed tomatoes
|1⁄2 Cup (8 tbs)
|Grated parmesan cheese
|1 Teaspoon
|Low fat american cheese
|1⁄2 Ounce, cut into strips
1) Preheat oven to temperature of 400 degrees.
2) Wash the lettuce leaves and keep them moist.
3) With the water still on the leaves, place them on a paper towel. Chill in the freezer for about 10 minutes. This would soften the leaves and it would be easier to roll them.
4) Combine together the onion flakes, cottage cheese, beans, oregano, red pepper (if preferred) and salt in a small bowl.
5) Onto the center of each lettuce leaf, spoon about 1/3rd of the bean mixture. Fold the sides of the leaf over the mixture, starting from the core end. Roll to enclose the filling.
6) Put the stuffed leaves in 1 ¾-cup casserole, keeping the seam-side down. Top with the tomatoes.
7) Bake in preheated oven for about 30 minutes.
8) Take the casserole out of the oven.
9) Sprinkle Parmesan cheese all over the leaves and then top with the American cheese.
10) Return the casserole to the oven. Bake till the cheese has melted and is golden brown in color.
11) Serve hot.

If you're wondering how the game is;
Sanuku had some issues with the balancing/difficulty, which the developer said he'd tweak in updates, and I've personally had some issues with the floaty physics, though it's nothing game breaking. I also felt that the game a bit too easy... so... =o/
Anywho... will check back with 4G info.
**edit** ah sorry... I could have swore that it was going to be a Universal update for the HD build. Guess not... but I didn't really enjoy the game enough to purchase it just to see if it runs on my 4G. Sorry bout that. =o/
I will say that the HD build ran really smoothly on my iPad 2... and since this isn't an HD build, but still Universal, and according to the description, runs on the 3G and OG iPad, I'd assume it runs on the 4G, though I don't know how much the retina display will impact the way the game runs. - it does look less graphically intensive than the HD build when just looking at the AppStore images... so I guess that's a good sign.

Dusten Brown told an Oklahoma newspaper today that he would obey a final order to relinquish custody of his 3-year-old daughter Veronica, but he wants a chance in courts there to stop that.
"I'm never going to give up if I have any chance left at all," Brown told the Tulsa World as he served a 30-day National Guard training mission in Iowa. "I love her too much to give up."
A Charleston judge is insisting that Brown hand over the girl to James Island residents Matt and Melanie Capobianco, who were recently declared her adoptive parents.
But Brown told the Tulsa World that he would challenge the South Carolina courts' jurisdiction over the adoption of his daughter, who lives with him in Oklahoma. That will include asking a Cherokee Nation court to take control because he and Veronica are members, he said.
Read more about Brown's interview with the Tulsa World here.
But the litigation in South Carolina may not be over either.
Chrissi Nimmo, an assistant attorney general for the Cherokee Nation, told The Post and Courier today that Charleston County Family Court will hold a hearing at 3 p.m. Wednesday to hear motions from Brown and the tribe.
Adoption proceedings are sealed under state law, and Nimmo said she could not discuss further details.
The law also allows someone on the losing end of an adoption order to ask for a rehearing. It's not known whether that will be the subject of the proceeding next week.

WALLA WALLA - Walla Walla police arrested a 14-year-old Monday on investigation of second-degree burglary.
The boy and another 14-year-old suspect appear to have broken into Macy's, 54 E. Main St., around 10:19 p.m., police said. Officers responded to the department store's burglar alarm, and discovered the youths in the store.
Police took one into custody, but the other suspect escaped. Police believe they know who he is. The teen under arrest will likely face felony burglary charges, and could face felony theft charges in the incident.
"Macy's is still compiling a list (of items stolen)," said Sgt. Matt Wood. "We did find some clothing that had been staged outside the store."
Wood said it isn't yet clear how the pair gained access to the store, but they may have used a key found on the scene.

Research-based biopharmaceutical companies work in partnership with others to fight the malaria epidemic
WASHINGTON, April 25 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Despite being preventable and treatable, malaria continues to devastate communities in tropical regions throughout Latin America, Asia and Africa. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the malaria epidemic causes debilitating disease in more than 500 million people worldwide and kills more than one million people each year - mostly infants, young children and pregnant women.
Global Health Progress, an initiative sponsored by the research-based biopharmaceutical companies of EFPIA, IFPMA, PhRMA and Rx&D, joins the global community in commemorating World Malaria Day on April 25. Research-based biopharmaceutical companies are committed to curbing the spread of malaria by working in partnership with governments, NGOs and others to provide education and treatment, and conduct research and development for new drugs and vaccines.
Research-based biopharmaceutical companies collaborate with initiatives such as Roll Back Malaria, the PATH Malaria Vaccine Initiative and the Medicines for Malaria Venture to accelerate the discovery of new medicines, vaccines, diagnostics and other health products to fight malaria. According to a study by the Malaria R&D Alliance, research-based biopharmaceutical and biotech companies fund 36 percent of all new R&D into products to combat malaria.
According to WHO, approximately 40 percent of the world's population are at risk for contracting malaria and, in Africa, malaria causes one in five childhood deaths. Around the world, research-based biopharmaceutical companies are actively engaged in combating malaria through partnerships to improve access to malaria treatments and interventions.
As of 2 November 2007, the R&D industry was conducting research on 24
new medicines and four candidate vaccines for malaria. This includes eight

Any comments on your bikes? Based on all the mods/upgrades you did to your R80, which ones worked well and which did not?
How about the other bikes in your group? I have a DR650 now, how did it do?
I'm surprised you guys ran out of tires ... in all your pics your bikes look like they are loaded down like a tire store! Wha' Happened?
Good luck, safe riding. Hope you get to go to Perito Moreno and swim out around an ice berg. Fun stuff and not something you get to do everyday either!
Safe riding! What's the plan once you head North?

Marcia Davis: Nesting success hindered by honeysuckle?
Looks can be deceiving when it comes to selecting the best plant for a nest site.
Non-native Asian honeysuckle does more than just invade small woodlands and forests. It may be creating an "ecological trap" for birds like northern cardinals, gray catbirds, and American robins that nest in its dense leaves.
Research by ecologist Amanda Rodewald, Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology conservation science director, suggests cardinals nesting in non-native honeysuckle shrubs are less successful nesters. The six-year Ohio study that monitored 888 cardinal nests found early season spring nests in non-native honeysuckle experienced higher predation rates than nests in native plants. Cardinals nesting in Asian honeysuckle raised 20 percent fewer young than cardinals nesting in native plants.
But why? Honeysuckle looks like a good place to nest with its dense concealing foliage and numerous forked branches. Greater nest predation may have something to do with the very early appearance of honeysuckle leaves in early spring. Non-native honeysuckles leaf out earlier than most other plants.
In early spring the fittest cardinals in the best condition are eager to find the best territories and claim prime nest sites. They're often the first to nest and they're often the birds that succeed in producing the most offspring.
Species like cardinals that nest more than once a year may build their first nest in early spring in an evergreen plant with foliage present to conceal the nest. Deciduous plants, not yet leafed out, aren't used for nest sites until leaves are present later in the nesting season. This strategy works very well.
Then along comes a new non-native deciduous plant like Asian honeysuckle introduced into the U. S. in the 1800s. Berry-eating birds spread the seeds and the invasive honeysuckle spread across the eastern U. S. The honeysuckle now may influence nesting strategy and timing. Honeysuckle thickets can be magnets for nesting birds. Birds eager to nest in early spring perceive the shrubs as desirable nest sites because foliage leafs out earlier in spring than foliage of other deciduous plants.
If the fittest cardinals in the biggest hurry to nest are attracted to honeysuckle, then the very birds that should be the most successful nesters may suffer greater nest predation than less fit birds nesting later. But why is nest predation greater in honeysuckle shrubs? Rodewald suggests that if the first songbird nests in the forest every spring are in honeysuckle, and these nests are just about the only nests in the forest, it's easier for predators to find them. Raccoons, crows, and hawks just key in on honeysuckle, which may be the only shrub thriving in the understory of some woodlands.
Instead of an understory filled with masses of many different deciduous plants, predators may find mainly patches of invasive honeysuckle. Honeysuckle thickets cast so much shade that a large percentage of native tree saplings, shrubs, and wildflowers may die from lack of enough light. Exploding hungry deer populations clear the understory of native plants in many woodlands.
Parasitic brown-headed cowbirds, that remove eggs from nests and replace them with their own cowbird eggs, also cause cardinal nest failure. The earliest nesting songbirds, like the cardinals in the honeysuckle, are hit harder by cowbirds than birds that nest later.
"Nests in honeysuckle are especially vulnerable to predation early in the breeding season, a time widely considered to be the most favorable for raising young," says Rodewald. What appears to be a suitable nest site to a pair of cardinals is really a trap if it leads to less successful nests and fewer offspring.
Tennessee's cardinals begin nesting in late March. Egg laying peaks in late April. Favorite plants for nesting include eastern red cedar, hawthorns, blackberry, roses, and Japanese honeysuckle.

"What's really novel about our study is that we evaluated all of these biomarkers in the same subjects, so we could more easily compare the predictive value of any one measure over the others," said Landau. "The Auditory-Verbal Learning Test, which measures memory recall ability, and the PET scans measuring glucose metabolism were the two markers that clearly stood out over the others."
The researchers pointed out that other measurements - in particular, hippocampus volume and the cerebrospinal fluid markers - also showed promise in predicting disease progression. However, when considering all the measurements together, PET scans and memory recall ability were the most consistent predictors. The researchers expect to have more complete information about which measures serve as the best predictors in a year as they continue to gather data for this ongoing study.
An earlier study led by Jagust, a professor with joint appointments at UC Berkeley's School of Public Health and the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, found that PET scans and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) could detect neurological changes in asymptomatic people who subsequently developed dementia or mental impairment, although it was too soon to say if those people would go on to develop Alzheimer's.

An OCX is an Object Linking and Embedding (OLE) custom control, a special-purpose program that can be created for use by applications running on Microsoft's Windows systems.
Keeping Up with Microsoft Software Licensing
Microsoft licensing schemes are notorious for being complicated and ever-changing. Our experts review the ways in which the latest versions of Windows and Office have changed their licensing and payment options - and how they'll affect businesses and virtual desktops.
By submitting your personal information, you agree to receive emails regarding relevant products and special offers from TechTarget and its partners. You also agree that your personal information may be transferred and processed in the United States, and that you have read and agree to the Terms of Use and the Privacy Policy.
OCXs provide such functions as handling scroll bar movement and window resizing. If you have a Windows system, you'll find a number of files in your Windows directory with the OCX file name suffix.
Object Linking and Embedding was designed to support compound documents (which contain multiple information types, such as text, graphic images, sound, motion video). The Windows desktop is an example of a compound document and Microsoft used OLE to build it. OLE and the Component Object Model (COM), a more general concept that preceded OLE, support the development of "plug-and-play" programs that can be written in any language and used dynamically by any application in the system. These programs are known as components and the application in which they are run is known as a container. This component-based approach to application development reduces development time and improves the program capability and quality. Windows application development programs such as PowerBuilder and Microsoft Access take advantage of OCXs.
Microsoft now calls an OCX an ActiveX control, the component object under Microsoft's set of ActiveX technologies, of which the fundamental concept is the Component Object Model (COM) and, in a network, the Distributed Component Object Model (DCOM).
An OCX or ActiveX control is actually implemented as a dynamic link library DLL module. (You can think of a DLL program as a "subprogram" that can be used by any number of application programs, each of which is a "container" for the DLL or OCX/ActiveX control "object.") Visual Basic and C++ are commonly used to write OCX or ActiveX controls.

Ladjuar Medam, Sar-e Sang, Koksha Valley, Badakhshan Province, Afghanistan
Lazurite, the primary component of Lapis Lazuli, has been coveted by "fashionistas" as far back as 3300 BC. We know this because archaeologists keep finding pieces of the stuff in places where there are no deposits: such as Egypt or Syria. Although it has been around for about as long as written language, only recently have researchers visited the producing mines, located in a remote and forbidding part of Afghanistan, where actual crystals of Lazurite are found. Their unique character has since made them quite desirable, particularly if they are still in the white marble matrix that hosts them. Here we have a beautifully exposed group of indigo blue dodecahedrons embedded in coarsely crystalline white marble with a cloud of Pyrite crystals in the middle of the group. The backside of the piece shows several other embedded crystals of incomplete morphology, along with an unidentified mica. This is an excellent matrix example, professionally prepared. The Collector's Edge label lists "Firgamu" as the location, but there is some dispute as to whether this is a valid mine or just another name for one of the mines at the Ladjuar Medam site.

My BCS Experience
Our flight was from Sacramento which meant the trip began with a 4 ½ hour haul down I-5 Saturday morning. Tim and I were ready, a dream come true to watch the Ducks in the BCS Title game. The 4 ½ hours just flew by; we were in Sacramento in what seemed to be a blink of an eye. It wasn't hard to tell where we were traveling to as we were all ducked up. With the exception of sitting on the tarmac for an hour and a half due to a problem with the rest room the flight was thankfully uneventful. We were over an hour late but when we landed at Sky ...

Visual Information Displays The communication of flight and baggage information at air- ports is done primarily by electronic displays. These displays are often in large composite assemblies in custom cabinets. At many airports surveyed, cathode ray tube (CRT) displays were once common but have largely been replaced by energy effi- cient liquid crystal displays (LCDs) or wide-screen plasma display technology. In addition to passenger displays, energy efficiency upgrades can also be made to staff computer displays and entertainment and advertising systems. FIGURE 11 Information display.

One of the oldest tractor and farm supply companies in the county announced this week that it has merged with two other Kentucky retailers in order to increase its inventory and better serve its customers.
Shelby Supply Co. has merged with Dixie Farm Stores and Bowen Farm Supply stores to form a new John Deere equipment dealership called Limestone Farm Lawn and Worksite, with six outlets across the region.
Mark Burks, the owner of Shelby Supply, said the new company will help expand the expertise and resources of these former dealerships.
It may have been cold outside, but bidding for "dates" with the studs of the saddlebred world was hot at Claudia Sanders Saturday night.
The fifth annual All American Cup Auction fetched a total of $273,000 for the rights to breed to saddlebred stallions. The top bid of $34,000 was for a breeding service to Callaway's Blue Norther, a stallion based in Missouri. The price was a record for the event.
What do you get when you mix a lousy economy with the boxes, ribbons and bags of the holiday retail season?
Becky Johnson is calling it "Christmas lite."
Johnson, a mother of two, said she will still buy presents for her family this year, but the amount she spends will be significantly less.
"My kids know to expect less under the tree this year," she said. "They know that we've got a budget, and we have to survive after holidays are over. But they're teenagers...so it's harder for them to accept."
When veterinarian James Coots first started pulling calves in the county, his fee to the farmer would run $9 or $10 assuming there were no complications.
That was in 1968.
Now, after more than 40 years in practice, Coots is retiring. His last day at Shelby Veterinary Clinic will be Dec. 31.
Coots, who specializes in large-animal practice, said the time has come to slow down.
"In large-animal practice you have to get out of the way sometimes," Coots said. "And I don't get out of the way as fast as I used to."

Bruce Gambrel pointed out to Keegan Kaelin how to use a machine at the Jefferson County Technical College Shelby County campus on Wednesday.
In a time when many local industries are down sizing, the local technical college is adding on to the industrial programs it offers for local students.
Starting in January, the Jefferson County Community Technical College Shelby County campus will add an industrial maintenance associate's degree to its student catalog.
With record low mortgage rates, it sounds like now is the time to buy a home or refinance your mortgage. But how long will that value last?
Brady Webb, a Certified Mortgage Planner with American Mortgage Solutions in Shelbyville, said he is optimistic.
"We're probably going to see mortgage rates continue to slide sideways and possibly move lower over the first two quarters of 2009," Webb said.
Waiting for work on the corner of First and Main street in Shelbyville is proving to be less and less profitable for local migrant workers.
The mornings are getting colder, and the hours spent outside Centro Latino waiting for a local contractor or farmer to drive by are getting longer.
Shelby's own GRA-KAT Environmental Services have been doing landscape, excavation and erosion contracting work since 1978.
The company has worked some major land-management projects in the county, including the demolition on Shelby Manor Nursing Home and the development of sidewalks at the Court House and on Rocket Lane. It also provides environmental inspections and universal waste recycling.
A Louisville company is hoping to increase the amount of public transportation locally by establishing an intercity bus route that transverses the state -- including stops in Shelby County.
Miller Transportation, a bus provider located in Louisville, has joined a national network of buses in order to provide a regularly scheduled bus service for the general public that allows for transit from here to virtually anywhere.

A currency-issuing government is not revenue constrained. It is always able to purchase whatever is available for sale in its own currency. This simple reality is partially concealed by a variety of contrived hoops through which modern day governments require themselves to jump. There are at least two different ways in which we can see past the confusion. The easiest way is to stand back and look at the big picture, both from the standpoint of logic and by considering the monetary and fiscal authorities as two parts of the same entity, the consolidated government sector. For the eagle eyed, this approach may appear to overlook potentially consequential details in the way governments actually spend. In practice, the monetary authority plays one set of roles, the fiscal authority plays another, and many governments have introduced various restrictions on the way in which the two can interact. The present post begins with a bird's eye view of government spending, and then turns to a more detailed consideration of the way in which self-imposed constraints and convoluted operational procedures complicate but do not undermine the sovereignty of a currency-issuing government. The case of the US government is taken throughout as an example, but much of the discussion is also broadly applicable to other currency-issuing governments.
The Accelerator, Profitability, Financial Instability and the State
I've been pondering whether it is possible to reconcile a number of notions within the same economic story about long-run growth and accumulation:
- An accelerator-type determination of private investment;
- A possible tendency, under laissez-faire capitalism, for profitability to fall as accumulation proceeds;
- Capitalism as prone to financial instability;
- A state able either to attenuate crisis tendencies or, cajoled by democratic pressure from below, push the system beyond capitalism;
- A capitalist state able to "manage", to a degree, the rate of profit.
It is possibly a tall order. The following is intended as just a rough sketch of what I have in mind. I might go deeper into some aspects of the argument in future posts, as it raises various questions, but think it would be better to catch any glaring faults now before carrying the exercise further.
Marx's View of Production in Relation to MMT and Taxes
An effect of being trained in mainstream economics but then encountering alternative approaches is to experience a growing realization — or at least a creeping suspicion — that most of what has been taught is the opposite of the truth. Even when the story told contains some truth, it is likely to have been turned on its head. Thanks to Kalecki and Keynes, for example, it becomes clear that demand (spending) determines supply (income), including in the long run. Spending, in a monetary production economy, must come before production can commence. Thanks to Post Keynesians, it becomes evident that loans create deposits, not the reverse. There could be no deposit prior to the decision to extend the first private or public loan (unless through government spending). Thanks especially to Sraffians, it has been established that profit cannot be a remuneration for (marginal) productive contribution. We can conceptualize profit as unpaid labor (Marx) or due to ownership (Sraffians, Post Keynesians).
Maybe It's Just That Most People Are Really Quite Right Wing
[Preface. If this post seems confused, it reflects my own confusion. If at times it seems pessimistic, it reflects a sense of pessimism that not often, but occasionally, afflicts me. If its conclusion seems wildly optimistic, it is because in the end I am optimistic.]
On the left, it sometimes feels as if we spend a lot of time in a losing battle. When the general population rejects or shows little interest in our latest set of progressive proposals and votes for political candidates even more right wing than the last, it's common to engage in a little hand wringing, accuse ourselves of having failed to devise or effectively articulate a practical vision, and go back to the drawing board wondering how we can do things better next time. Meanwhile, the general population continues along a well trodden path of embracing war, environmental destruction, extreme inequality, mass unemployment and mean-spirited attacks on the poor along with policies tinged with racist or nationalistic overtones.
It Doesn't Have To Be This Way
Most economies around the world have been in the doldrums since the Global Financial Crisis of 2007/8 and the Great Recession that followed. Unemployment in some European nations has been at levels not seen since the Great Depression. Although the situation is not as dire in all nations, economic activity remains well below potential virtually everywhere. The result is needless human suffering.
Pain of Austerity Brings No Future Gain
In a nutshell, the economy comes down to this: we have available labor time and natural resources with which we can produce some stuff and distribute it. Unemployment now means lost production now that can never be recovered in the future.
The Diverse Economy: Part Capitalist, Part Socialist, Part Communist
A diverse culture is best served by an economy that can cater to diverse needs and interests. In our societies, perspectives differ widely when it comes to (among other things) the following five areas:
1. Competition and cooperation. Some people enjoy competition in pursuit of external rewards. Others prefer cooperation and feeling a part of something bigger than themselves. Most enjoy both competition and cooperation, just in varying degrees.
2. Personal motivation. Some people would largely lose interest in productive activity if it were not for the potential of private profit or a high salary. Others prefer to work in a not-for-profit environment and are more or less unmotivated by material gain.
3. Attitudes on inequality. Some people want to have more than others. Some would prefer not to. Some care if others have more than them. Some don't as long as everyone has enough and the inequality is not so extreme as to undermine democracy.
There Would Be No Capitalism Without the State
Often, in trying to get at the "essentials" of how a capitalist economy functions, we consider a simplified model of a closed economy without government. Through such models it is possible to make the argument that exploitation, instability, unemployment and/or demand deficiency (depending on the particular Marxian or Keynesian flavor of the model) are endogenous to a private market system in which production is for monetary profit. Not only is it then possible to hold that the problems are inherent to laissez-faire capitalism but also that their solution can only come from the "outside" – either through revolutionary overthrow of the system or reformist management by the state. In debate between the proponents of laissez-faire capitalism and its dissenters, the approach is useful and informative. Proponents of laissez-faire desire an economy in which the role of the state is minimized, and the simplified models take that line of thought to its logical conclusion and suggest it is untenable. However, it is also easy to lose sight of what is missed in abstracting from the state. A habit of thought tends to emerge in which the state is seen as peripheral to capitalism and perhaps even powerless to do much at all when faced with the supposed awesome might of private market forces and the realities of capitalist social relations of production. But the state is actually foundational to capitalism, and the current economic system would not exist, let alone function effectively, without it.
Actual Real Life Tactics to Secure Concrete Social Demands
Critics frequently charge (no link found) that while we on the Left are prolific in identifying reasons things must change, our prowess in actually bringing about change is less impressive. I thought it might be of theoretical interest, or at least of idle curiosity, to reflect on the means of effecting change. Let's sit ourselves down with a cup of coffee and conduct a thought experiment concerning what might be done. Dare we contemplate something more than change? Something as grandiose as social transformation? Yes, I say. Why not? This could prove to be an intriguing exercise indeed.
MMT is a Good Bet For Progressives and the Left
There has been discussion in the economic blogosphere recently, from a left perspective, about the merits or otherwise of employing an understanding of Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) in debates over policy and efforts to transform the economic system. There is an interesting post, for example, by Dan at Pruning Shears (h/t Tom Hickey) suggesting that MMT might be a "dicey bet for liberals". In reading this and similar arguments presented elsewhere, I find myself agreeing on some (though certainly not all) points, but differing in the conclusion to be drawn from them.

Is a psychotherapist qualified to diagnose serious mental disorders?
|John Lehnhoff, Ph.D.
Clinical Consultant and Educator
Alegent Creighton Health Psychiatric Associates
Q: My mother has been referred for a psychiatric evaluation, however, the doctor she is scheduled to see is a psychotherapist, and not a psychiatrist.
She has symptoms of Tourette's Syndrome, schizotypal personality disorder, severe OCD, ADD, and anxiety and we are hoping to get an official diagnosis. Can a psychotherapist address these issues? Thank you!! Wendy
A: Thank you for your question about diagnosis.
You indicate your mother has been referred to a "doctor" who is a "psychotherapist". If that practitioner is a licensed PhD psychologist, diagnosis of serious mental disorders is within the so called "scope of practice" of licensed doctoral psychologists in most if not all states. However, in most states psychologists cannot prescribe medications, and your mother is likely to benefit from medicines if she if affected by serious mental disorders. So, she still may need to see a psychiatrist for medication evaluation and treatment. Furthermore, Tourette's syndrome assessment often includes examination and recommendations by a neurologist.
Psychotherapy is a vital component of treatment of mental disorders in combination with recommended medicines and self help tools.
For information about the scope of practice of mental health professionals in your mother's state, contact the state health department licensing division.

Active Learning Strategies for The Flipped Classroom: A Mini Workshop
November 14, 3:00 - 4:00 p.m., CGC Seminar Room 124
What would you do with your class time if you didn't have to lecture? That
question is at the heart of the reason faculty are attracted to the flipped
classroom model (reversing what we typically do in the classroom with what
students do on their own outside of class time) and concerned about it at the same
time. In this mini-workshop, we'll examine active learning strategies to help
structure small group work and discussion for the flipped classroom. Participants
are encouraged to bring course syllabi and come prepared to work on a course plan.
(Note: this session does not cover technology such as Tegrity for creating lectures.)

© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
LAWRENCEVILLE - Gwinnettians came out in major force Friday for the official grand opening of the county's newest big-box retailer, BrandsMart USA.Located just off Interstate 85 on Ga. Highway 20, the electronics and appliances retailer seemed thrilled with the mad rush of people that began pouring in just after their doors opened following a brief ribbon-cutting ceremony at 10 a.m. "This is like Christmastime," said BrandsMart Vice President of Corporate Operations Larry Levine. Just as Christmas is the season of giving, the new BrandsMart USA is also giving roughly 300 Gwinnettians jobs at a time when one in 10 Georgians is out of work. "This is a big win for us. I'd say 90 percent of the people here working are local Gwinnettian residents," said the Gwinnett Chamber of Commerce's Vince DeSilva. "It's a huge impact for us especially in a tough economy. We welcome the addition to the Gwinnett family." What most shoppers probably didn't realize either was that BrandsMart's building was also the very first commercial property in the county to be LEED certified. LEED, which stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, provides a suite of standards for environmentally sustainable construction as developed by the U.S. Green Building Council. What does that mean exactly? For starters, LEED means BrandsMart's building is much more energy efficient. The store will use 30 percent less energy just by the type of lighting fixtures it installed. Shoppers will notice lots of skylights and windows that allow in the natural light. "That's free light, light you don't pay for," Levine said, pointing at the windows and skylights. He's the mastermind behind the store's green design. Other green features include low-flow flush toilets in the bathrooms and waterless urinals for the men's room. On the building's roof and on its parking lot's surface, the color white has been used instead of black. This allows the store to better control its climate. And in constructing the store, recycled materials were used wherever possible, from the floor tiles that were put in to the concrete and sheet rock that was used. And let's not forget perhaps what might be considered Georgia's most precious natural resource - water. "The water comes off the roof. It doesn't come from Gwinnett County," Levine said. The building accomplishes this by slanting the roof slightly so that all water eventually channels into two, 27,000 gallon underground cisterns. This water is then used in the bathrooms, in the air conditioners and for irrigation. BrandsMart will only need irrigation for its plants for the first six months while they take root. After that, they should do fine on their own since they were planted only because they're drought resistant. DeSilva said he thinks BrandsMart's Gwinnett store could become a model for future retailers to follow if they're thinking of building in Gwinnett. "They (BrandsMart) knew they wanted to make this store different from classic big boxes," DeSilva said. "I think a lot of people will come and look at the footprint and say 'Wow, look how efficient this place is." DeSilva also praised BrandsMart's management for how it handled coming into the county. "They got involved with the county from day one making sure they kept them in the loop, especially with their ideas for their green initiative," he said. "They really got engaged in the community and showed us they wanted to be here." BrandsMart President Michael Perlman said the company is thrilled to be in Gwinnett County and thrilled with its ninth location. "This is a real technological advancement for us," Perlman said. "It's important to America and important to Gwinnett County to have stores like this that are environmentally sensitive. If everybody did this, America would be a better place." He also said he thinks other retailers will have no choice but to follow BrandsMart's Gwinnett green lead. Or is it their LEED? "You have no choice," he said. "The days of just chewing up resources are over."
