For J.J. Messervy, failure is not an option; it's not even a word in the man's vocabulary.
That is not to say he doesn't make mistakes – he readily admits that he is not perfect – far from it.
But that motivation to meet any challenge, learn from mistakes, overcome obstacles, and accomplish that which he sets out to do is a major facet of Messervy's personality.
"My family is just like that – I don't really know what drives us," he said.
He talks about his grandfathers – one was a doctor, the other a lumberman. Both were hard-working, high achieving men, and his lumberman grandfather had a favorite maxim that Messervy says somewhat sums up his outlook on life.
"My lumberman grandfather had a sign in his office that talked about a man who owned a ferry business," he said. "Someone asked the man how many times a day he made the trip across the river and back. He said, 'I do it as many times as I can, because if I don't go, I don't get.' That's kind of my mindset."
In fact Messervy has always been self-motivated. He has dyslexia, but he never allowed that to be an obstacle or an excuse for not achieving. In fact, he graduated from the University of South Carolina magna cum laude. He came back home to Summerville and immediately got involved in a variety of community organizations and causes, including the Exchange Club, the Clemson Extension Master Gardeners Program and the Frances R. Willis SPCA. He is currently the public address announcer for the Summerville High School Green Wave Varsity Football Team.
Messervy's fundraising ability is remarkable. The year before he joined the SPCA Board of Directors, the annual oyster roast fundraiser netted some $6,500 in profit. He took it over and the following year it netted nearly $30,000. Ultimately he would serve as vice president, president, and fund raising chairman and in addition to fund raising efforts, he would help establish a spay/neuter partnership between the FWSPCA and the Charleston Animal Society.
He helped co-found the Dorchester County Foundation, which distributes funds to non-profits throughout the county; that group's fundraising efforts have brought in some $500,000 in two years.
As County Auditor, Messervy says he strives to help people – and the community -- every day in a variety of ways. He has improved collections of personal property taxes by establishing an out of state tag program. He improved collections of business personal property taxes by working with county and municipal business license officials to withhold business license renewals until past due taxes are paid. He has provided information to municipalities, school districts, and fire districts on the tax billing and collections process and assisted the county and other entities by improving the collection of solid waste and storm water fees.
Most importantly, he has been able to help educate citizens about taxpayer rights and responsibilities.
"One of the things I really like about this job is that I am in a position to disseminate useful and accurate information," he said. "I can clearly explain situations and outline the ramifications of potential decisions they need to make."
"What can I say? I'm deeply interested in tax issues, and I am happy to share what I learn – I guess I'm weird that way," he added with a laugh.
But he's definitely not an all work, no play kind of guy, either. On the contrary, his is more of a work hard/play hard attitude, and happily, Summerville and Dorchester County are beneficiaries of his seemingly tireless energies. A Master Gardener, he enjoys his time "digging in the dirt" and enjoys a variety of events and activities.
But most of all, he loves being with his family, his wife Beth and son, Hoby, he said.
"By far, the single greatest thing I've ever had happen to me is having a child," he said. "My son is three now – I'm doing micro-soccer coaching, among other things."
Ultimately, Messervy's outlook is one of enjoying the moment and doing as much good as one can along the way, he said.
"It's not what you make, it's not the people you know, it's the mark you make in your community," he said. "I love Summerville and Dorchester County and my objective in life is to leave it a better place than I found it."

The votes from Election Day have been counted and the results are in: the Dorchester County tax referendum did not pass and in the Summerville municipal election, Town Councilman Walter Bailey was reelected to represent District 3.
According to the unofficial results from the Dorchester County Election Commission, votes tally 3,550 in favor of the Local Option Sales Tax for property tax relief (LOST) and 7,070 voted against; and in the Summerville municipal election, Walter Bailey had 535 votes and John C. Hinson had 172 votes.
The Harleyville municipal election was also held on the ballot; of the three candidates, Susan S. Bishop and Brenda Davis won 80 and 81 votes, respectively, and won the two available seats on the Harleyville Town Council.
If passed, the LOST would have added one penny to sales taxes in the county, which would have been used for to provide a tax credit to property owners. Six out of seven members of Dorchester County Council and Mayor Bill Collins publicly supported the tax.
The referendum was originally voted on in the 1990s and was also denied.
Summerville municipal election
The full municipal election consisted of seats representing Districts 1, 3 and 5 on the Summerville Town Council and one of three Commissioner of Public Works positions. All of the incumbents – Aaron Brown, Walter Bailey, Kima Garten-Schmidt and George "Jordy" Tupper, respectively – filed for reelection, but Councilman Bailey was the only candidate to face opposition.
His opponent, Hinson, announced his candidacy on the last day of the filing period in September. He told the Journal Scene that he did not think Councilman Bailey was accessible enough to his district and was overlooking the basics. Hinson admitted to The Journal Scene that he had never attended a Town Council meeting.
It appears Councilman Bailey was the only candidate of the two to campaign for the seat, creating and posting political signs across town.
For a more complete story on the outcome of the election, see the Friday edition of The Journal Scene.

Several allergists determined my son had "no food allergies" and that he was fine. But that was because his inability to digest gluten was not a immediate type IgE allergy--it was a sensitivity to gluten caused by the genes for celiac which destroyed his gut and altered his ability to tolerate many foods. After two doctors told me my son didn't have any allergies, the GI doctor finally found the genes for celiac which explained why he had gone from the 95% of weight to the 5% of weight after we introduced gluten (wheat) and dairy into his diet. Technically, he didn't have a life threatening IgE allergy. One doctor even told me, "we have a death and disease model" meaning if you are not going to die from something immediately after eating it, it isn't a problem. But my son was wasting away and his brain was starving for nutrients. And if I hadn't changed his diet he would have a serious, lifelong developmental problem. But, technically, he didn't have an IgE allergy. Celiac is actually a gluten intolerance which causes an autoimmune disease--it is not a true allergy. The protein from gluten causes the villi in the stomach to be stripped away so nutrients can not be absorbed and the person is starving for nutrients. Celiac is often overlooked by allergists because you will not die from it after consuming the food. You will die years later from cancer because you didn't absorb nutrients, and you might be infertile and unable to carry a baby because you don't have enough nutrients to support a fetus. You will have chronic, unexplained problems for years and yes, technically, you will be allergic to nothing even though gluten is causing your body to attack itself and not absorb nutrients.
Allergists missed my daughter's obvious celiac signs as well as my son's and by listening to allergists, I watched my son get sicker and sicker until we finally learned that they were talking about a specific type of allergy they can easily test for. After getting better on a gluten free diet, another doctor finally gave my son a diagnosis of "allergy syndrome." Another doctor finally found the genes for celiac.
The article actually makes me mad because it simplifies an issue that is incredibly complex and makes it sound like the issues that people have with food are in their head. It takes the average person with celiac 11 years to get diagnosed. These people can have severe problems ranging from chronic stomach aches, infertility to learning disorders all caused by their inablity to digest gluten. Interestingly, chronic digestive problems and lactose intolerance are frequent problems for the undiagnosed celiac. Furthermore, more and more doctors are recognizing gluten intolerance as a disorder with profound physical and neurological consequences such as arthritis, migraines, and ADHD.
Yes, technically these people say they have allergies and they don't--but they have very real symptoms and those with celiac have a disease that is life threatening caused by a reaction to a specific food. Also, just because there isn't a test for something does not mean it doesn't exist. IgE testing is limited. Although IgE tests do pick up allergies that don't exist they don't pick up the food sensitivities which are causing real, chronic problems for many people. Just because IgE allergies are overestimated doesn't mean the many, many people who get sick from eating food are not having a real reaction to food. Their reactions just aren't IgE mediated. There is also a gastro allergy which is incredibly difficult to test for because the allergy is happening inside the gastrointestinal system. This disease, which is considered incredibly rare, but isn't as rare as it once was, often takes years to diagnose.
The article says that 25% of the population who thinks they have food allergies don't actually have food allergies. What they are neglecting to say is how many of them have been told they have IgE allergies that don't really exist? How many of them get sick from food and think they have allergies, but the allergies might be a food intolerance, which they don't have a test or a name for? How many of them have early signs of celiac and can't digest lactose and think they have an allergy to milk?
Also, they did a food challenge with my son with dairy and determined he wasn't allergic to dairy. But it was because he was intolerant of BOTH gluten and dairy. He did not get better when we removed dairy from his diet. But when we removed both gluten and dairy he finally got better. I almost lost my son listening to allergists. I just wished I had known how little they actually knew about allergies--as well as how little they know about celiac.

A Georgetown man convicted on heroin charges will not be eligible for parole until the year 2035 at the earliest.
According to the 15th Circuit Solicitor's Office, 27-year-old Jawan Rayel White was sentenced to 25 years in prison by Judge Larry B. Hyman for trafficking more than 28 grams of heroin.
Under South Carolina law, White will not be eligible for parole or any early release until after he has served 85 percent of his sentence—roughly 21 years.
According to the press release, agents with the Drug Enforcement Unit originally apprehended White attempting to purchase a large quantity of powder heroin in Horry County in August, 2011.
When White failed to appear for the trial of these charges in June of 2013, he was tried in his absence before Judge Hyman and found guilty on the sole count of trafficking heroin.
White's sentence was sealed, and a bench warrant was issued for his arrest. Assistant Solicitor Martin Spratlin presented the case to the court.
Authorities apprehended White in January when he was arrested for additional drug charges. Those additional charges are still pending at this time.

Yeah I want landscape for WWF already.
My parents have taken to playing the iPhone version of WWF on their iPad, because it crashes so often. It does not crash nearly as often for me, but still far more than I would like. Glad to hear (I suppose) that we are not alone.
Have you ever thought you could be the one who creates the best Iphone App. Think about Angry Birds, they've already made 70 million $. That could be you. So here is your chance at http://asaurus11.devsecrets.hop.clickbank.net/
Hmm Well I was just searching on yahoo and just came across your site, mostly I just only visit websites and retrieve my required info but this time the useful info that you posted in this post urged me to post here and appreciate your diligent work. I just bookmarked your site. Thank you again.

McGinnis: Oscar Predictions 2014: '12 Years a Slave' favorite to take top prizeWritten by Jeff McGinnis | | firstname.lastname@example.com
Best Supporting Actress:
Really, this is a two-horse race between Jennifer Lawrence and Lupita Nyong'o — two very important roles in wildly different movies. Lawrence was widely credited with completely stealing "American Hustle" with her small but crucial performance, the kind of attention-grabber Oscar loves to honor. But she just won last year, and the voters don't often give it to the same person two years in a row. (Tom Hanks, who won for "Philadelphia" and "Forrest Gump" back-to-back, is the notable modern exception.) This leaves Nyong'o open to be honored for her powerful work, and I figure the Academy will want to honor "12 Years a Slave" somewhere in the acting awards.
PREDICTION: Lupita Nyong'o
Best Supporting Actor
This one's more cut-and-dried. Jared Leto has been talked up as the presumed front-runner since "Dallas Buyers Club" opened, and nothing's shaken him off the lead yet. His performance as a transgender woman is exactly the kind of unexpected turn Oscar loves, and he's at a stage of his career where the award would be seen as a coronation and welcoming to A-list status. Michael Fassbender of "12 Years a Slave" has a shot at being a spoiler, but it's a long shot at best.
PREDICTION: Jared Leto
Best Actress:
What a strange ride this category has been. Back in October, some presumed the isolated tension of "Gravity" was going to spell another gold statue for Sandra Bullock when all was said and done. Then, as award season began to ramp up, Bullock's chances dimmed and Cate Blanchett's work in "Blue Jasmine" began to take center stage. Now, as controversy swirls around director Woody Allen once more, have Blanchett's chances been soiled by her proximity to the filmmaker, leaving the door open for Bullock or (more likely) Amy Adams to upset? Probably not.
PREDICTION: Cate Blanchett
Best Actor:
Maybe the tightest race of the acting categories. An argument can be made for both Leonardo DiCaprio's bombastic trader in "The Wolf of Wall Street" and Chiwetel Ejiofor's imprisoned free man in "12 Years a Slave" to spoil here. But the stars have been aligning for Matthew McConaughey for a while now, with a movie that people like (which almost certainly won't win in any bigger categories), a dramatic physical transformation (major Oscar bait) and a cool redemption story to boot (he's not doing dumb romantic comedies now!). DiCaprio may still upset, but it's looking less likely the closer to Oscar night we get.
PREDICTION: Matthew McConaughey
Best Director:
We all know the story: Alfonso Cuaron won the Director's Guild award for "Gravity," which is the absolute best predictor of all the major award categories, and usually a solid indication of Best Picture, to boot. Sure, last year the two awards didn't synch, but that's only because the directors forgot to nominate Ben Affleck for the Oscar, so the DGA was a consolation prize. (The Oscar itself went to Ang Lee, in an upset over Steven Spielberg.) This is most probably Cuaron's year, though Steve McQueen's work on "12 Years a Slave" is still a possible contender.
PREDICTION: Alfonso Cuaron
Best Picture:
Here's where it gets really interesting. After initial buzz for "Gravity" when it opened, the presumptive front-runner has been "12 Years a Slave" for most of the Oscar season. Then, buzz started building around "American Hustle," leading it to be considered a solid spoiler candidate. Then came the backlash against "American Hustle," with many pundits dismissing it as overrated, leading to its chances seemingly receding. Now, thanks to the Director's Guild going for Cuaron, we're right back where we started: "Gravity" looks like a serious contender again.
But through it all, "12 Years a Slave" has remained as the steady and unshakable leader of the pack, and with good reason. It's a powerful, important film which addresses head-on the most horrific stain on America's soul, by giving one of slavery's victims a face and a story for a modern audience. As "Schindler's List" did for the Holocaust, "12 Years" takes its viewers and makes them confront evil head-on. And, like "Schindler's," "12 Years" will take home the big prize.

Volkswagen announces iBeetle, a car with deep iPhone integration
There have been previous rumors about Apple building an iCar, but it now seems that instead of building the vehicle themselves, they have partnered with Volkswagen to help create the iBeetle. The car, which Volkswagen says was designed in coordination with Apple, boasts integration with the iPhone through Volkswagens iBeetle app, which provides access to entertainment and diagnostic functions.
When the app is launched, it can either connect the iPhone to the Beetle ("docked"), or not ("undocked") – the driver or front passenger decides that. As soon as the iPhone connects to the data network of the Beetle via the app and the docking station ("docked"), it all begins.
The app provides access to Spotify, oil and coolant temperature gauges, compares a comprehensive set of data for different routes to a particular destination, and a photo function. While other manufacturers allow you to connect your iPhone to the car through Bluetooth or connecting cable, Volkswagen plans to provide the first truly integrated experience between iPhone and vehicle. Volkswagen also claims that this car was designed with the iPhone 5 in mind, though it seems likely that the iPhone 5s will have been released by the time the iBeelte ships to customers in early 2014.

Volkswagen announces iBeetle, a car with deep iPhone integration
Huh. Seems to imply that the iPhone is best suited to young women and the men who are not sexually attracted to them. OK maybe that's going a bit too far but c'mon... iBeetle? I wonder how much VW paid Apple for that little "i".
It is a VW Bug. Not a Subaru.
Hopefully the other automakers will start integrating in their vehicles as well. I love the beetle. Great story!
I wonder what the operating system the car is using. It is interesting how computer software is used to manage a cars various systems.

Recleim will hold a groundbreaking ceremony in Graniteville on Tuesday at 9 a.m. The company plans to transform the old Hickman Mill plant into a state-of-the-art e-waste recycling center.
The facility will be among the first in North America to use a process known as closed-loop recycling. The center will be able to recycle a variety of appliances, including refrigerators, laptop computers and cell phones.
Renovations are needed at the plant to get it ready to receive equipment that will arrive later in the year, Recleim General Manager Doug Huffer told the Aiken Standard in May. Upgrades will include new loading and receiving docks, new offices and a refurbished parking lot. The work is expected to be completed by the summer of 2014.
Recleim announced in February that it would make a $40.6 million investment in Aiken County that is expected to lead to the creation of 200 new jobs.
Though Recleim is not currently hiring, those interested in applying to Recleim are encouraged to continually check the company's careers web page at www.recleim.com/career/ for updates.

Gilmour saw the man slump over through the control room glass, and for a few moments thought it was a great gag pulled by the engineer to express his admiration over the solo. He laughed approvingly and gave him a "thumbs up."
But the engineer's head had landed on the talkback button on the console, and he heard a faint voice simply say, "Help me," into his headphones, and then the talkback went dead. Something was very wrong. He unplugged his cable and ran up the stairs, into the control room.
By this time, the engineer lay on the floor, his contorted face as gray as slush in Chicago after a winter storm.
But the man was in a very odd position; he lay on his side, yet his arms were positioned in nearly a circle, in what he thought was almost a deliberate "O" shape. He said to the assistant engineer cowering in the back of the room, "Quickly, call a medic and then call Scotland Yard. Tell the Yard that I told you to call. Ask for Inspector Sky Fall. And when you get him, just say, 'Find The One.' Got that?"
The young man nodded, his face in disbelief.
Repeat what I told you to tell Sky Fall?
"Find The One," said the assistant.
"Good," Gilmour said. "I'm going to get moving. Remember what I told you."
And then he grabbed his iPhone, took a picture of the body, and texted a number. Anxiously, the younger man picked up the studio phone and started dialing as he was told.
Gilmour left through a side entrance to the building, and walked briskly to the silver 1972 Aston Martin Vantage he'd bought with the first of his "Dark Side of the Moon" royalties. The engine purred to life smoothly as he turned the key. The red leather interior was nicely broken in by years of use, but not worn out. The car was his baby. As he pulled away from Abbey Road, the familiar feel of the straight-six engine, and he felt good that he'd gotten one of the 71 made, with the old DB6 engine and wire wheels every time he drove it. But he did not consider himself a collector of cars.

State mandates health insurance for transgender patientsApril 29,2013Leaders in the medical and LGBT communities are celebrating a new health bulletin they say will require insurance companies to cover medically necessary services for transgender Vermonters a mandate that will include gender-reassignment surgery.
The bulletin, issued by the Vermont Department of Financial Regulations Division of Insurance, says that DFR is committed to ensuring that Vermonters do not face discrimination in accessing medically necessary health care benefits, including those based on gender identity and gender dysphoria.
This is both a simple question of fairness and a matter addressed by existing insurance law and DFR regulation, the bulletin says.
Corey Mallon, with the Vermont Equal Care Coalition, said the clarification will help eliminate roadblocks to care for a population vulnerable to bias.
Many health insurance plans categorically exclude gender transition-related care for no reason other than stigma and bias, and that is wrong, Mallon said in a written statement. There is no principled reason for denying a transgender employee medically necessary health care.
A press release issued by RU12? Community Center said Vermont joins a growing number of states that have issued similar guidance to insurance companies.
Transition-related health care is medically necessary for many transgender individuals whose health and well-being depends on bringing their physical body into alignment with their gender identity, the release said. And determination of what care an individual patient needs properly rests with medical providers, not insurance companies.
Mari Cordes, a registered nurse and president of the Vermont Federation of Nurses and Health Professionals, called the bulletin a momentous achievement.
We are extremely pleased that yet another barrier to receiving quality health care has fallen, Cordes said.

With just two weeks remaining until the May 11 date by which legislative leaders are looking to drop the closing gavel on the 2013 session, action will be heavy this week as lawmakers try to push ahead with some of the major unresolved bills.
The Senate Committee on Appropriations convenes today, when its expected to vote out a $5.3 billion budget that will include some key revisions to the version passed by the House earlier this year. The committees final product will include controversial decisions on funding for low-income heating assistance, thermal efficiency programs, child care subsidies, and other programs competing for scarce resources.
Senate President John Campbell said earlier this month he intended to trim from the House budget, and his appropriations committee seems poised to deliver.
Later this week, the full Senate heads to the floor to debate the $10 million revenue proposal that passed unanimously out of the Senate Committee on Finance on Friday. Perhaps most controversially, the package would cap the home mortgage interest deduction at $12,000, a provision that has drawn sharp criticism from Gov. Peter Shumlin. The bill would also create a minimum income tax liability of 3 percent for Vermonters with an adjusted gross income of more than $125,000 per year.
Over in the House, lawmakers will have a busy, and contentious, day Tuesday when two major bills hit the floor: end-of-life choices and universal pre-kindergarten education.MORE IN Vermont NewsBURLINGTON The Vermont Health Department has put out a warning about the wild parsnip, a common...

Inequality, dignity and freedomFebruary 15,2014Now that the Congressional Budget Office has explicitly denied saying that Obamacare destroys jobs, some (though by no means all) Republicans have stopped lying about that issue and turned to a different argument. OK, they concede, any reduction in working hours because of health reform will be a voluntary choice by the workers themselves but its still a bad thing because, as Rep. Paul Ryan puts it, theyll lose the dignity of work.
So lets talk about what that means in 21st-century America.
Its all very well to talk in the abstract about the dignity of work, but to suggest that workers can have equal dignity despite huge inequality in pay is just silly. In 2012, the top 40 hedge fund managers and traders were paid a combined $16.7 billion, equivalent to the wages of 400,000 ordinary workers. Given that kind of disparity, can anyone really believe in the equal dignity of work?
In fact, the people who seem least inclined to respect the efforts of ordinary workers are the winners of the wealth lottery. Over the past few months, weve been harangued by a procession of angry billionaires, furious that theyre not receiving the deference, the acknowledgment of their superiority, that they believe is their due. For example, last week the investor Sam Zell went on CNN Money to defend the 1 percent against envy, and he asserted that the 1 percent work harder. The 1 percent are much bigger factors in all forms of our society. Dignity for all!
And theres another group that doesnt respect workers: Republican politicians. In 2012, Rep. Eric Cantor, the House majority leader, infamously marked Labor Day with a Twitter post celebrating people who start their own businesses. Perhaps Cantor was chastened by the backlash to that post; at a recent GOP retreat, he reportedly urged his colleagues to show some respect for Americans who dont own businesses, who work for someone else. The clear implication was that they havent shown that kind of respect in the past.
On the whole, working Americans are better at appreciating their own worth than either the wealthy or conservative politicians are at showing them even minimal respect. Still, tens of millions of Americans know from experience that hard work isnt enough to provide financial security or a decent education for their children, and many either couldnt get health insurance or were desperately afraid of losing jobs that came with insurance until the Affordable Care Act kicked in last month. In the face of that kind of everyday struggle, talk about the dignity of work rings hollow.
So what would give working Americans more dignity in their lives, despite huge income disparities? How about assuring them that the essentials health care, opportunity for their children, a minimal income will be there even if their boss fires them or their jobs are shipped overseas?
Think about it: Has anything done as much to enhance the dignity of American seniors, to rescue them from the penury and dependence that were once so common among the elderly, as Social Security and Medicare? Inside the Beltway, fiscal scolds have turned entitlements into a bad word, but its precisely the fact that Americans are entitled to collect Social Security and be covered by Medicare, no questions asked, that makes these programs so empowering and liberating.
Conversely, the drive by conservatives to dismantle much of the social safety net, to replace it with minimal programs and private charity, is, in effect, an effort to strip away the dignity of lower-income workers.
And its something else: an assault on their freedom.
Modern American conservatives talk a lot about freedom and deride liberals for advocating a nanny state. But when it comes to Americans down on their luck, conservatives become insultingly paternalistic, as comfortable congressmen lecture struggling families on the dignity of work. And they also become advocates of highly intrusive government. For example, House Republicans tried to introduce a provision into the farm bill that would have allowed states to mandate drug testing for food stamp recipients. (A commenter on my blog suggested mandatory drug tests for employees of too-big-to-fail financial institutions, which receive large implicit subsidies. Now that would really cause a panic.)
The truth is that if you really care about the dignity and freedom of U.S. workers, you should favor more, not fewer, entitlements, a stronger, not weaker, social safety net.
And you should, in particular, support and celebrate health reform. Never mind all those claims that Obamacare is slavery; the reality is that the Affordable Care Act will empower millions of Americans, giving them exactly the kind of dignity and freedom politicians only pretend to love.

Chattanooga Basketball Postgame Quotes
Chattanooga at Samford
Pete Hanna Center - Birmingham, Ala.
Saturday - Jan. 5, 2013
Chattanooga Head Coach John Shulman
Thoughts on the game
"We came out and we were unbelievable. I think we were up 22-6 and it looked like we could play the Clippers. Not the Lakers, but the Clippers. We went on the road and won big. That doesn't happen all that often on the road in conference play. For them to come back and take a lead, it makes it more satisfying how we won than if we had won by a big margin. It would have probably been more fun if we had won big, but we did a good job of being tough. Being up 72-70, those three points we scored were very important. We told them that toughness to make the little plays are winning plays. That's how the Bulls beat the Heat last night, and we've talked about all of this stuff. We aren't better than a lot of people, but that doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if you're better, more talented or experienced. I guess the only thing that matters is the result and that's what we're trying to get."
On the emergence of Farad Cobb
"It's crazy how basketball works. I thought he was terrible against Reinhardt and Mercer, but then Casey Jones goes out. I was driving up to Johnson City and trying to get this thing figured out on the day after the Reinhardt. I knew there was only one answer. We needed to move Ronrico and tell Farad that the position was his. We communicated the whole break and I told him the entire time that he was our starting point guard. So I looked at it different and I coached him different, so hopefully the rest is history. Hopefully he goes on and has a great year, and we have Dontay Hampton coming back. We have a lot of stuff going on now."
Thoughts on the first conference road game of the season
"They pressured us and we turned it over. It's very simple, but they tried the same thing in the second half and doubled us in the post. I thought our post players did a great job of making plays out of the post. We just never could get the momentum or a stop. Give them credit with what they were doing with the zone offense. That bothered us a little bit, and give our guys credit for being able to blow a 16-point lead but look like the Lakers to hang in there. I told the freshmen that was a road conference game. That's what they have to expect every time out."
Farad Cobb, guard, freshman
Thoughts on his shooting game
"He told me to not stop shooting until he tells me not to shoot. I just try to have good judgment. I know what a good shot is, and I may take a few bad ones during a game, but I like to get my team mates involved."
Thoughts on the defense
"Our defense was a great challenge tonight, but it was a great road win for us."
Thoughts on winning the close game
"Coach Shulman always tells us to make all of the little plays because that's the difference in the game. We all wanted to keep the lead that we built early and make it larger, but we are happy with the close win. It made us grow as a team."
Martynas Bareika, guard, sophomore
Thoughts on hitting big three-pointers in the game
"I didn't really think about the score or the pressure. I was open and knocked the shot down. I just felt it. I feel like I brought some energy and our guys didn't quit fighting. We went up by 16 and then they started just knocking it down. Somebody had to put some energy out on the court. I hoped to be the one to step up."
Thoughts on his defensive effort
"I asked Coach Shulman to put me on Raijon Kelly. When he hit 17 in five minutes I asked Coach to put me on him. I don't think he scored anything else until the end of the half. I was so tired at the half because I put all of myself out there. When a guy gets so hot like that then somebody has to stop him. Somebody had to stop the bleed so I wanted to be that guy."

Rated 4 out of 5Â by fpalisontowson LOVE IT! The fatigue/berry color looks somewhat army-green online but it is definitely GREY in person but the cranberry part is true to color. I usually wear a medium in FP shirts but I got this one in a large and it fits perfectly, since I wanted it to be a little bit bigger and more slouchy. Officially one of my new fave shirts!!! 3.7.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by HeidiB23 Awesome shirt! LOVE this shirt! I got this in the Watermelon/Blue color and the one I received looks almost exactly like the one on here! I am 5"1 and I usually wear XS or S, and I decided to get this in a S because I did not want the shirt to be too short, and I am glad I did as it fits perfectly! I could have gotten a XS, and it would have been fine, but I find the S fits just right! I would recommend this shirt, and I am thinking of getting it in the White as well! 5.14.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by CometGirl Awesome Top! I love this top - it's so comfortable and looks great. I bought it in the white color - the tie-dye part is blue not black (one of the other reviewers said this too). The shirt is slightly longer on the sides than in the front and the neck is wide. It has a very loose fit (so not much shape) but I adore it anyway! I'm 5'4"/140lbs/36C bust and bought a size medium - I could have bought a size small but I think it would have come too short in the front in a smaller size. (I marked the sizing as "roomy" because it's very loose, but in terms of length I would NOT size down.) 3.26.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by MOMe Yes!!! I am a 30 C chest, 26 waist and 5 "3" height. I got the xsmall and it look just as the picture. I also tried on the small and the shoulder were a bit longer and the shirt was a tad wider. Pretty much the two sizes are almost exactly the same. Bought this item at the store as was able to put the two sizes side by side to do the comparison. The tie dye is not black like the photo but more blue. Great shirt and a must have. 3.25.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by NinjaGirl Cute and Comfy Very soft and comfortable oversized tee. I purchased this in the ivory/navy and it is a lot lighter in color than the online images. The navy almost looks black online but the color of the one I received is more of a medium indigo blue. I'm usually an XS/S in FP tops, and the XSmall has plenty of room in it. The fabric is soft and slightly sheer, and the asymmetrical hemline is unfinished. If you are looking at an XSmall, here are the dimensions of the one I received: length from shoulder seam by neckline: 23" bust all around: 51" sleeve length: 1 1/2" sleeve opening: 8 1/2" Be aware that because the dropped shoulder is so wide, the sleeve ends up down your arm and the opening exposes your bra from the side. 3.6.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by gonzalezmi Shoreline Tee Comfy, casual tank. Purchased this in two colors (blue/white and grey/maroon) and I love how it looks off the shoulder. Great summer piece. 5.5.2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by NezGirl Cool and Relaxed! I would've gotten this in more colors had I known how comfy and easy this is. It goes with just about anything. One of the best tees FP ever made! 12.26.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by piratejacques Cute, Easy to Wear I got this in Fatigue/Berry and it is very soft and comfortable. It definitely comes with that well-loved, worn-in look. The style of this shirt is almost poncho-like and is great for a relaxed look. 11.11.2013

Horsehands to showcase its latest songs at Ottawa TavernWritten by Matt Liasse | | firstname.lastname@example.com
Coffee is often found with Horsehands.
The music video for "Righty," online now at vimeo.com, includes two pots and 38 cups of joe in the two-minute clip.
"We started going to thrift stores to get pots and were like 'Oh, my God, we can buy like 90 coffee cups for like 50 cents,'" drummer Adam Sankowski said. He bought some of the tackiest mugs he could find, he said, including a handmade "World's Best Dad" cup. "Their child obviously made them a 'World's Best Dad' coffee mug, and somehow it ended up in a thrift shop. Isn't that the kind of thing you want to hold on to?"
The band wanted to portray an image of a "raging party" with coffee instead of alcohol.
"[It's] the rock 'n' roll sort of substance abuse shtick but with our spin on it; we sort of abuse on a legal substance," singer Nick Telles said. "The video captures 9-to-5 drudgery" and "running from place to place with no real direction."
"The video took meaning like the craziness and trying to juggle everyday life with the beauty of pursuing art," Sankowski said. "It was a really fun project to do because I think the meaning of the video kind of took shape as we started."
The Boston band has been together for six years, but just recently released its first album "Sirs." The album only includes all songs recorded with the three current members.
"It's not as patchwork as the previous EPs," Telles said. "It's sort of a tongue-in-cheek way of saying 'Here we are.' It's our first formal release in the way we want to be perceived."
"Sirs" came out in February after a couple of years of work.
"We had to move at our own pace," Telles said. "We were constantly writing and recording, but we probably have another album worth of stuff that we decided not to use."
The album was self-recorded and mastered. It includes 13 tracks, including "Tin Horn," "Shirts and Skins" and "Ocho." The digital album is available on bandcamp.com for $5.
Telles is a married father of two, a 6-year-old and an 18-month-old. The upcoming tour, which includes a stop at Toledo's Ottawa Tavern on June 22, will be the longest amount of time Telles has been away from his family.
"I'm a little nervous, but definitely excited," Telles said. "We're excited to go outside of our hometown."

Hampton football fans have scored a treasure thanks to Jamie Combs' time-consuming drive toward a goal.
The former Johnson City Press sports writer's thoroughly researched "Unleashed: The History of Hampton High School Football" is a well-executed, 240-page drive down Memory Lane.
There are game capsules and scoring summaries on every Hampton game on record, beginning with a 52-0 loss to Rogersville in six-man football in 1940. Adam Townsend rushed for three TDs and 184 yards in a 26-14 home win against Coalfield in the Class A quarterfinals in 2005, a season in which the Bulldogs finished 12-2 and Townsend became the school's first 2,000-yard rusher (2,079 yards).
But the stories outside the lines are even more compelling than championships, deep playoff runs and rivalry victories.
There are profiles on all of the head coaches: Bill Pike (1940), Irvin Evans (1941-52), John Pansock (1953-61), Howard Duncan (1962-67), J.C. Cambpell (1968-2008) and Mike Lunsford (2009-present). You'll feel like you're all but being barked at by these tough-loving molders of men while coming up hard but happily in a picturesque, few-frills mountain town.
According to Mike Young, who went on to star at East Tennessee State, Pansock was "a fiery Czechoslovakian whose favorite word was 'feces.'" Pansock's vocabulary was influenced by the fact that the Bulldogs' fieldhouse was built by the kennel club and was also used for dog shows and coon dogs. Pansock also once hauled a load from the Elizabethton sewage treatment center to fertilize Hampton's field.
Pansock was best known for conditioning runs, often up Iron Mountain or to Dennis Cove and back. Combs writes that Pansock was a tough, thrifty World War II veteran who refurbished equipment East Tennessee State had discarded, used rags and sawdust to transform seaman duffel bags into tackling dummies and made former player Finley Jenkins sign a 16-gauge shotgun as collateral on a 50-cents loan.
Duncan also was in WW II, having parachuted into Normandy. After helping win the Big One, he went 27-6 in the Watauga Conference in six years and won four straight league titles while ruling in a no-nonsense fashion that could include backhanding a player's face.
Campbell, a TSSAA Hall of Famer, is the face of Hampton football, and his face received more than one football. Combs details multiple accounts of Campbell getting hit in the head and chest with errant throws in games and practice.
It's understandable if Campbell wasn't always keen on passing. In fact, during a game with Happy Valley in 1979 quarterback Jeff Andrews got a signal from Campbell that suggested passing the ball was for the birds. Andrews had told Campbell beforehand about a signal.
"Jeff Andrews said, 'If you see me do this' – he cocked his arm forward – 'I'm going to throw a pass,'" Campbell said. "I said, 'If you see me do this (middle finger extended), you give the ball to Tim Davis.'"
Sure enough, Campbell saw an opportunity for a touchdown pass and signaled to Campbell, whose response was to look around a moment, shield one hand with the other and give Andrews some old-school digital data to digest.
"He put that hand up and flipped me the bird," Andrews said, "and he said, 'Pitch it to Tim and get out of his way.' So I did, and we ended up winning the ballgame."
Combs has everything from cockroaches to roach clips covered. Indeed, it seemed a lot of programs were going to pot in the free-spirited 1970s, but players were high on mountain life long before then.
There's an anecdote about two brothers who weren't going to be available to play one night during the Pansock era because they had to cut wood for their father's moonshine still. So two cars filled with players went to the top of Simerly Creek and cut wood (no chainsaws) and loaded it on a sled for a horse to pull up the mountain to the still.
"The stories themselves were funny enough," Combs said, "but some of the people being interviewed would often be laughing so hard they could hardly get the words out."
Hampton assistant coaches who worked at least eight years are also profiled. Doug Phillips was the defensive coordinator from 1969 until 2009 except for the 2000 season. Campbell and Phillips produced a yin-yang existence that helped many teenagers balance lives.
Assistants Scotty Bunton, Danny McClain, Tim Andrews, Pat Kelly, Gary Lewis and Jeff Bradley are also featured, as is the late, great Rod Swift, a passionate booster known to offer $1 per tackle or $5 postgame handshakes. Swift even let Young live with him his junior and senior seasons after Young's father got laid off at Raytheon and took a job in Huntsville, Ala.
Young went on to East Tennessee State to play for another father figure, John Robert Bell, and was on the Buccaneers team that beat Terry Bradshaw-led Louisiana Tech.
"It was a great pleasure getting to talk with … Young, who played a starring role in the 1969 Grantland Rice Bowl and has long since lived in the Florida Keys," Combs said. "I consider his comments a major asset in the content, as well as the comments given by former ETSU Little All-American David Holtsclaw."
Known as the "Hampton Hammer," Holtsclaw left ETSU (1962-65) as its all-time leading rusher (1,610 yards) and is still ranked 10th.
Hampton's college players are accounted for, including Robin Forbes, a second-team All-Ohio Valley Conference defensive back at ETSU as a senior in 1964 who signed a free agent contract with the Cleveland Browns.
Dale Campbell started some at right tackle at ETSU (1989-90) and Danny McClain was a two-year starter at receiver for Lenoir-Rhyne (1989-92).
Combs lists everything from long-time boosters to winners of the Jeff & Mike McKinney Award. The brothers were all-conference players at Hampton in the early 1980s who died too young. Jeff died in a car wreck at 19 and cancer killed Mike when he was 25.
"The voice of Tim Andrews," Combs writes, "a football senior in the fall of '83, cracked with emotion as he started to dole out a few of his feelings about Mike."
The book was a pilgrimage for Combs, who, as former Johnson City Press sports writer Rick Sheek notes in the foreword, grew to love Hampton athletics while growing up in the Siam-Valley Forge area.
Combs technically worked on "Unleashed" eight years, but essentially has been most of his life.
"The only down note is that four individuals I interviewed – Ross Potter, Chad Grindstaff, Randy Montgomery and Wayne Ellis – died before the completion of the project," Combs said. "Mr. Ellis, whose son (Wayne Jr.) is the school's golf coach, passed away earlier this week."
But there is solace in legacies preserved by Combs' hard work.
Books are $25, and $30.30 by mail. Contact Combs at 423-547-3218, email@example.com or payments can be sent to: 126 Emily Drive, Elizabethton, TN 37643.

- ESF-EMBO symposium "molecular biology and innovative therapies in sarcomas of childhood and adolescence" Sept 29–Oct 4, Polonia Castle Pultusk, Poland (2013)
- Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) and Ewing sarcoma (ES) are among the most common pediatric sarcomas (Arndt et al., 2012). Despite sarcomas representing a highly heterogeneous group of tumors, ES and alveolar RMS (ARMS) typically share one common genetic characteristic, namely a specific chromosomal translocation (Helman and Meltzer, 2003; Lessnick and Ladanyi, 2012). These translocations generate fusion proteins, which are composed of two transcription factors (TF). Typically, one TF is a developmentally regulated factor that is essential for proper specification of a given lineage and provides the DNA-binding domain, while the partner TF contributes a transactivation domain that drives aberrant expression of target genes. Based on these common genetic characteristics, the first ESF-EMBO research conference entitled "Molecular Biology and Innovative Therapies in Sarcomas of Childhood and Adolescence" with special focus on RMS and ES was held at the Polonia Castle in Pultusk, Poland. The conference gathered 70 participants from more than 15 countries and several continents representing most research groups that are active in this field.
- Cytotoxic capacity of IL-15-stimulated cytokine-induced killer cells against human acute myeloid leukemia and rhabdomyosarcoma in humanized preclinical mouse models (2012)
- Allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT) has become an important treatment modality for patients with high-risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and is also under investigation for soft tissue sarcomas. The therapeutic success is still limited by minimal residual disease (MRD) status ultimately leading to patients' relapse. Adoptive donor lymphocyte infusions based on MRD status using IL-15-expanded cytokine-induced killer (CIK) cells may prevent relapse without causing graft-versus-host-disease (GvHD). To generate preclinical data we developed mouse models to study anti-leukemic- and anti-tumor-potential of CIK cells in vivo. Immunodeficient mice (NOD/SCID/IL-2Rγc−, NSG) were injected intravenously with human leukemic cell lines THP-1, SH-2 and with human rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) cell lines RH41 and RH30 at minimal doses required for leukemia or tumor engraftment. Mice transplanted with THP-1 or RH41 cells were randomly assigned for analysis of CIK cell treatment. Organs of mice were analyzed by flow cytometry as well as quantitative polymerase chain reaction for engraftment of malignant cells and CIK cells. Potential of CIK cells to induce GvHD was determined by histological analysis. Tissues of the highest degree of THP-1 cell expansion included bone marrow followed by liver, lung, spleen, peripheral blood (PB), and brain. RH30 and RH41 engraftment mainly took place in liver and lung, but was also detectable in spleen and PB. In spite of delayed CIK cell expansion compared with malignant cells, CIK cells injected at equal amounts were sufficient for significant reduction of RH41 cells, whereas against fast-expanding THP-1 cells 250 times more CIK than THP-1 cells were needed to achieve comparable results. Our preclinical in vivo mouse models showed a reliable 100% engraftment of malignant cells which is essential for analysis of anti-cancer therapy. Furthermore our data demonstrated that IL-15-activated CIK cells have potent cytotoxic capacity against AML and RMS cells without causing GvHD.
- Efficient lysis of rhabdomyosarcoma cells by cytokine-induced killer cells : implications for adoptive immunotherapy after allogeneic stem cell transplantation (2010)
- Background: Rhabdomyosarcoma is the most common soft tissue sarcoma in childhood and has a poor prognosis. Here we assessed the capability of ex vivo expanded cytokine-induced killer cells to lyse both alveolar and embryonic rhabdomyosarcoma cell lines and investigated the mechanisms involved. Design and Methods: Peripheral blood mononuclear cells from six healthy donors were used to generate and expand cytokine-induced killer cells. The phenotype and composition of these cells were determined by multiparameter flow cytometry, while their cytotoxic effect against rhabdomyosarcoma cells was evaluated by a europium release assay. Results: Cytokine-induced killer cells efficiently lysed cells from both rhabdomyosarcoma cell lines. Antibody-mediated masking of either NKG2D molecule on cytokine-induced killer cells or its ligands on rhabdomyosarcoma cells (major histocompatibility antigen related chain A and B and UL16 binding protein 2) diminished this effect by 50%, suggesting a major role for the NKG2D molecule in rhabdomyosarcoma cell killing. No effect was observed after blocking CD11a, CD3 or TCRαβ molecules on cytokine-induced killer cells or CD1d on rhabdomyosar-coma cells. Remarkably, cytokine-induced killer cells used tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) to activate caspase-3, as the main caspase responsible for the execution of apoptosis. Accordingly, blocking TRAIL receptors on embryonic rhabdomyosarcoma cell lines significantly reduced the anti-tumor effect of cytokine-induced killer cells. About 50% of T cells within the cytokine-induced killer population had an effector memory phenotype, 20% had a naïve phenotype and approximately 30% of the cells had a central memory phenotype. In addition, cytokine-induced killer cells expressed low levels of activation-induced markers CD69 and CD137 and demonstrated a low alloreactive potential. Conclusions: Our data suggest that cytokine-induced killer cells may be used as a novel adoptive immunotherapy for the treatment of patients with rhabdomyosarcoma after allogeneic stem cell transplantation.

"My husband and I had a destination wedding that many close friends and family were not able to attend. These cards made it possible to give them an idea of how beautiful our day really was - it carried the beach them out with the palm tree but I loved that I was able to put a photo of our wedding day on the beach with it. Everyone LOVED recieving our cards!!!"
"The "thank you" cards we purchased are beautiful! I was very impressed with the high quality of the product and the printing. We wanted to capture a little bit of our Hawaiian wedding and this card was perfect with the orchids and the sage color. I was also pleasantly surprised by the customer service. They even called me to make sure that I had received the sample on my e-mail. I really appreciated that from them. I will most definitely use them again."
"We ordered the Tropical Tryst for the invites and these go really well with them. I really like WeddingPaperDivas quality for the price! I'll be ordering from them any chance I have!"
"I was completely thrilled with my order, so much that I plan on ordering more very soon! They were absolutely perfect, from the color to the texture. I will ONLY use DIVA's for all of my stationary needs!"
"We wanted a picture of us at our wedding for the front of the cards that was not from a distance. We needed to crop the photo and enlarge it somewhat before we submitted it. Your staff e-mailed us regarding the quality of the photo - that it was not as clear as they try to use. Since it was all we had, we instructed them to proceed with the order. The cards came out just as we had imagined and we are very happy with them. We do appreciate the excellent customer service!"

Legacy Cornbread Dressing From 'Choosing Sides'
Tara Mataraza Desmond's cornbread dressing from her new cookbook, Choosing Sides, has been in her husband's family for a couple of generations. In it, she interweaves Southern-style all-cornmeal croutons with rich, savory breakfast sausage, sweet Rome apples, and a plethora of herbs and aromatics. More
