POLITICAL FAMILY The fifth of nine children born into a New Orleans political family. His father, Moon Landrieu, was mayor from 1970 to 1978 and oversaw the desegregation of City Hall, surrounding himself with a multiracial brain trust. Mitch Landrieu's sister Mary is a Democratic senator representing Louisiana.
ROAD TO THE MAYOR'S OFFICE A state legislator for 16 years until he became lieutenant governor in 2003. He ran unsuccessfully for mayor of New Orleans twice, first in 1994 and then in 2006. The latter campaign was an emotionally charged election less than a year after Hurricane Katrina that pitted him against C. Ray Nagin, who was seeking a second term. Mr. Nagin won with 53 percent of the vote and was precluded by term limits from running again.
THIRD TIME THE CHARM In 2010, the two candidates who presented the biggest challenge to Mr. Landrieu were both businessmen, and each ran on an outsider's platform, as Mr. Nagin had. But voters chose Mr. Landrieu, a consummate insider, by an overwhelming margin.

Zuffa, Bellator continue fight over 'matching rights' with challenge to drop clause
Zuffa, Bellator continue fight over 'matching rights' with challenge to drop clause - MMA Fighting"If the UFC will do away with the section of their agreement that allows them to release a fighter and then retain the right to match, we will immediately do the same," he said in an interview with MMA Fighting.
In issuing his challenge, Rebney pointed out that his organization went through the same process with Zuffa when they signed Muhammed "King Mo" Lawal, who had been cut in March.
White, who has been extensively traveling over the last week, did not respond to MMA Fighting's attempts to reach him, but the UFC did make available its executive vice president and general counsel Lawrence Epstein, who oversees fighter contracts.
According to Epstein, there are subtle differences between what the UFC does and what Bellator does. He said that in the case of Hollett, for instance, he had been cut by Bellator, and when it was publicly announced that the UFC signed him, Bellator "asserted" their rights to match. That, he says, is very different than the Lawal situation. According to him, after Lawal signed with Bellator, Zuffa received unsolicited correspondence from his management inquiring about their interest in matching.
According to Lawal's manager Mike Kogan, that is true. He did reach out to Zuffa to determine if they would match his Bellator offer. But only because he felt he was shortening an inevitable process.
"Their contract asks me to submit material terms of the agreement," he told MMA Fighting. "If I would have sent them an email outlining it, that would have delayed [the deal] even longer. So, yeah, they don't specifically say 'bring us a contract,' but if youve ever been involved in first right of refusal conversations, when you submit the terms, they always come back and say, 'How do we know these are the material terms?' It drags on. So to avoid that, we just sent them the contract. So in all fairness, they didn't ask for the contract specifically. But the language specifically asks for material terms of the offer, otherwise what the f--- are they matching? In language, they're not asking for it, but they're asking for material terms of the contract, so how else would I submit it to them without any doubt?"
Kogan said that in his experience, the practice is industry-wide, leaving no promotion room for moral high ground.
Rebney, however, doesn't think the clause is an inherently unfair provision. In the case of Tyson Nam, which was also a recent MMA cause célèbre, Rebney said it was Bellator which presented Nam with the opportunity to fight outside the organization through matchmaker Sam Caplan. When Nam upset their bantamweight champ Eduardo Dantas in Brazil, offers to Nam came pouring in. According to Rebney, it would have been irresponsible to simply let him walk away without at least examining the offers to determine whether they should match and retain him. After all, his new value was at least partially the result of an opportunity they created for him while he was still under the terms of their deal.
"In a competitive landscape with one organization backed by FOX and another backed by Viacom where the singular most important aspect of those businesses are the fighters, if you're willing to forego rights that you have in your contract, we'll do the same," he said. "But I don't believe it's an unethical clause. You're not asking the athlete to take a lesser deal."
Bellator ultimately chose not to match deals for Hollett and Nam, letting both move on to the next chapters of their respective careers.
Epstein said that during his five-plus years at Zuffa, neither the UFC nor Strikeforce has ever cut a fighter and went on to assert matching rights. Yet the clause is still included in contracts because according to him, the provisions don't cover one specific situation and may pertain to some future possibility that is as of now, unforeseeable.
That means that Rebney's challenge to the UFC and Zuffa about removing the clause is unlikely to be met.
"My response is this: I absolutely believe hed make that challenge, because Bjorn, it's been alleged in a lawsuit we filed against him, stole all of our agreements and and copied all of our agreements," Epstein said, referring to a 2010 lawsuit that is still working its way through the courts. "It's not really a challenge. He has tried to copy everything we do anyway. So I'm not going to respond to it. All I can say is he's proved that hes willing to copy -- or at least try to copy -- anything we do."

I have no idea what film the "meh" crowd of critics saw, but it must not have been The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, because their complaints have no relation to the masterful filmmaking displayed in this prequel adaptation to director Peter Jackson's blockbuster The Lord of the Rings franchise.
The Hobbit is a big, bold, beautiful triumph on every level, standing squarely on its own two feet rather than attempting to mimic the style and voice of its predecessors. It is easily one of the year's best films, and should be a sure nominee for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Cinematography, Best Visual Effects, and Best Editing (Film and Sound).
Inside The Numbers: Will 'The Hobbit' Make 'Lord Of The Rings' The Richest Film Franchise Of All Time?
I believe this newest movie is even better than The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, and that's saying quite a lot, obviously. And contrary to many of the glaringly wrongheaded reviews and assertions I've heard from some critics, this film is in fact more accessible to mainstream "non-fanboy" audiences. It is faster paced, there is less lingering on nuances of backstory and world-building details (those things are present, but their telling is remarkably economical and seem to breeze past), the characters are easier to remember and distinguish, and it's a whole lot funnier. That's right, I said funnier, and I'll get to that shortly.
Visually, the film really sets itself apart from the previous trilogy. Just as the storytelling is more lighthearted and brisk, so too is the imagery, filled with rich, bright colors and textures while settling into rhythms of wide shots to close-ups, sweeping back and forth, and lots of swooping in and around complex sets and scenery.
The Lord of the Rings, while often reflecting Jackson's preference for approaching scenes from different angles and perspectives, still also utilized a lot of "epic" filmmaking choices for setting up shots and sequencing for a lot of key action and establishing shots, and always maintained a certain awareness of its own ambition and history-making status.
But The Hobbit feels fearless and devoid of self-consciousness about expectations or anything other than excitement at telling its story, and at times almost seems to avoid any obvious choices or traditional perspectives in the approach to action and big reveals. Scene after scene, it's obvious Jackson decided what he thought would be an awesome way for the action to proceed and to look, and then just figured out how to make that happen, no matter how crazy or complicated it might be.
One major aspect of the visual style of this film is the much-debated 48 frames per second. I've heard some reviewers claim it looks like a cheap BBC televised production, but that's utter nonsense. It looked glorious, a level of detail and clarity that enhanced the colors and texture and movements of every scene. It's akin to the difference between watching a DVD on a regular television, and a Blu-ray on a flat screen HDTV.
When the movie begins, for a couple of minutes the difference in fluidity of movement, the precision of details and depth, is striking. But very quickly your eyes adapt, and the effect is breathtaking.
A big advantage to the new frame rate is that action scenes, even very fast paced sequences full of quick edits and (in one scene) literally hundreds of characters going in every direction, are never hard to follow or blurred by movement. It's so crisp and clear that you can take it all in and understand what's going on despite the scale of some of these sequences. Likewise, this means the 3D effect never lacks clarity or blurs from movement, and the result is a 3D depth into the scenery that is perfect throughout. A moment to comment on that — The Hobbit is one of those films that uses 3D to create a sense of space and weight to scenes, delving into the screen rather than just trying to project items out at the audience.
The Hobbit relies on a lot of CGI, and this too benefits from the 48 fps, adding to the film's unique visual style. The finest moments of these effects come in three particular sequences: the trolls, the goblins, and the inevitable appearance of Gollum. The most lavish of these involves the goblins and their underground lair teeming with hundreds of the creatures in a complicated labyrinth full of so much detail you could watch it several times and keep finding something new happening in some corner in the background. It is a gorgeous spectacle and Jackson here demonstrates his most elaborate choices for shots and action.
But it is Gollum who truly defines the brilliance of the CGI advances on display in the movie. However great you thought Gollum was previously — and he was indeed — you will be in awe of him here. Andy Serkis needs an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor, it's time for the Academy to cross that nominating threshold and this is the performance to do it. Every CGI character in the film is fully articulated, including flawless mouth movements and lip-syncing that is completely naturalistic. Gollum, however, is in a league all by himself, as real as he could be, the true test of which is that rather than marvel at how realistic he looks and acts and moves, you will simply forget you're watching CGI.

Rock Climbing Injury: Fingers: NSAID Treatment
I busted my A2 pulley during a trip to Hueco and would like to start taking some anti-inflammatory medication to bring my finger down to size. I was told not to take any as it may affect bone re-growth in the leg I broke several months ago. Am I allowed?
Peter Allison | Christchurch, New Zealand
Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are bandied around like Halloween candy. Though I would love to have some ammunition to discourage their widespread use, not a shred of reasonable evidence says that the short-term use of NSAIDs has a significant effect on fracture healing, though many web pages report that they do.
One theory says that if you pop a pimple in the triangle of death (your face), a potentially fatal infection could be carried to your brain via a circuitous blood-borne route. It's never happened. So my theory is that their theory is crapola. Equally, there is a theoretical avenue for NSAIDs, via prostaglandin inhibition, to adversely affect bone healing in the few weeks after fracture but, like zit-death, this doesn't seem to be realized in the real world.
Steroidal anti-inflammatory medications such as cortisone and Prednisone definitely impede fracture healing. So does smoking, drinking lots of Coca Cola, or whining to your PT about how painful your rehab is.
As far as current peer review suggests, if there is an effect of short-term use, it's not worth thinking too hard about. Aside from that, hot/cold therapy on your finger will be just as effective as NSAIDs and, last I checked, the only reported side effects are related to spillage.

Four Printmakers
"Four Printmakers" will exhibit their works in Haverford's Cantor Fitzgerald Gallery, Oct. 27-Nov. 22, 2006. The exhibit will be curated by painter and printmaker Hee Sook Kim, assistant professor of fine arts.
"Four Printmakers" will exhibit their works in Haverford's Cantor Fitzgerald Gallery, Oct. 27-Nov. 22, 2006. The exhibit will be curated by painter and printmaker Hee Sook Kim, assistant professor of fine arts.
The four featured artists—Jackie Battenfield, Gloria Escobar, Lisa Mackie, and Kelly Reemtsen—spent a week at Bryn Mawr College's Arnecliffe Studio during the 2004-2005 academic year, hosting workshops and working with students; the Cantor Fitzgerald exhibit will include pieces created with those students. Additionally, two former student collaborators, Rachel Robbins and Deborah Sosower, will join the artists for a panel discussion, "Printmaking and Collaboration," Friday, Oct. 27 at 4:30 p.m. in the Gallery.
Jackie Battenfield will be showing 13 prints. Her work focuses on "the fluidity of water and the natural gestural action of tree branches along side abstract brush strokes and poured layers of paint." When creating prints, she works with handmade papers from Asia and draws upon Buddhist contemplative practice: "I have found that a meditative state arises from giving attention to a single aspect of nature, in this case, water movement or the action of a tree limb." Battenfield earned a B.A. from Pennsylvania State University and an M.F.A. from the College of Visual and Performing Arts in Syracuse, N.Y. She has exhibited in solo and group shows throughout the United States and Japan, and her work appears in international collections. She has been awarded grants from the Sam and Adele Golden Foundation for the Arts and the New York Foundation for the Arts, and has received a Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant in Painting and the Warren Tanner Memorial Art Fund Award in Painting. Battenfield was an artist-in-residence at Haverford's John B. Hurford '60 Humanities Center in 2005.
Gloria Escobar will show 10 medium-size pieces of a recent series of mono-prints/collages, most of which have women's faces as the subject matter. Her work emphasizes shape and color in an abstract manner; color shapes define the background and black lines are overimposing elements that define the subject. Escobar earned her B.A. in studio art from the University of Antioquia in Medellin, Colombia, and her M.F.A. in printmaking from Syracuse University. She teaches design, drawing, and printmaking at Hartwick College in Oneonta, N.Y., where she is a founding member and director of Round House Press as well as chair of the art history department. Her pieces have been shown throughout New York, New England, and South America, and she has received grants from the New York Foundation for the Arts, Organization of American States, and the Institute of Colombian Culture. She was a visiting artist at Haverford in 2004.
Lisa Mackie describes her art as "a compilation of picture fragments that I have photographed, drawn, written about and remembered. The images deal with a delicate balance between cognition and process." She will be showing a series of nine books from her "Rising, Falling and Floating" series in an installation with a video. Mackie received her B.F.A. at the University of Michigan and her M.F.A. at the University of Wisconsin. She has had solo exhibitions in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania, as well as Mexico and India. Her works have been included in group exhibitions in the Mid-Atlantic, California, North Carolina, and Poland, and are part of numerous university and corporate collections. In 1990, she established the New York-based Lisa H. Mackie Studios, which was accepted into the Rutgers Archives for Printmaking Studios, Jane Voorhee Zimmerli Art Museum, New Brunswick, N.J. Presently, Mackie teaches at Dowling College in Oakdale, N.Y.
Kelly Reemtsen is interested in "multiples and iterations (very often re-iterations) of the same theme, and the notion of prefabrication and cookie-cutter production." She is dedicated to pushing the boundaries of traditional printmaking, using the broadest spectrum of techniques in unconventional combinations. She holds degrees from Central Michigan University and California State University, Long Beach, and has exhibited in solo and group shows throughout Southern California. Reemtsen also received commissions from hotels and restaurants in Los Angeles, New York, Las Vegas, Little Rock, Ark., and Halifax, Nova Scotia. She is a member of the Brewery Art Association, Gallery 825 Los Angeles Art Association, and the Graphic Arts Council of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
Located in Whitehead Campus Center, the Cantor Fitzgerald Gallery is open 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday-Friday and noon-5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. On Wednesday evenings, the Gallery will stay open until 8 p.m. For more information, call (610) 896-1287 or visit www.cantorfitzgeraldgallery.org.

Women's Lacrosse Season Preview
- Release Date:
- February 27, 2013
- Contact:
- The Office of Sports Information
- (716) 649-7900 ext. 333
The Hilbert College women's lacrosse team opens their 2013 inaugural NCAA Division III season competing against opponents from the NEAC and AMCC conferences. Head Coach Erin Robson (Orillia, ON) is confident the roster of seventeen is set to tackle an independent thirteen-game schedule, challenging well-established programs in NY, PA and OH.
Leading Hilbert are senior captains, Maria DelMonaco (Orchard Park, NY) and Caitlyn Jacob (Derby, NY). They are both aggressive players and starters from the 2011-2012 club program and they will anchor the Hawks at the defensive end of the field.
The Hawks have two additional multi-sport, underclassmen serving as captains. Junior Robbi Bailey (Codyville, NY) is a fierce competitor who will contribute at both ends of the field as a midfielder. Sophomore Jordan Botsford (Penfield, NY), will use her athleticism to get to the net. Bailey's endurance will prove to be an asset to the young Hawks squad while Botsford's vocal leadership will be critical to the attack in setting up high-scoring opportunities for the Hawks.
Local Hamburg student-athletes and graduates of Frontier High School, Sarah Lorusso (sophomore) and Kristi Mergenhagen (junior) are threats on the attack and are expected to lead in goal-scoring early in the season. Both powerhouses should be considered scoring threats from anywhere in the eight-meter area. As a 2011 high school graduate, Lorusso was a pivotal player in winning the Section VI Class A title, as well as being named to the Section VI Second Team all-conference.
Rachael Bergman(East Aurora, NY), a sophomore transfer from Kent State, is anticipated to move the transition quickly from defense to attack on the fast break, as well as develop scoring opportunities around the cage. Fellow sophomores Chantelle Mikilajczak (Derby, NY) and Miquita Potts (Buffalo, NY) are predicted to spark the aggressive side of the Hawks by utilizing their speed and agility to challenge for ground balls, and cause turnovers at both ends of the field. Potts comes to Hawks as an Erie Community College transfer.
Seven freshmen make up half the roster number and they will be a force to be reckoned with over the next four years. Out-of-state recruit Olivia Tom (Sturgis, MI) joins the squad following a successful run in play-offs with the NCAA Hilbert Hawks volleyball team. Harlie Decker (Beaver Dams, NY), a versatile player, will be an asset on both low D and high attack. Her ability to create space will open up lanes on attack for fellow freshman recruit Kelly Mandell (Lockport, NY) to have strong scoring angles. Freshmen Julianne Spring (Alleghany, NY), Shannon Campbell (Avon, NY), Khadene Jarrett (Buffalo, NY), and Kanika Haggins (Buffalo, NY) will be competing for starting positions immediately and are expected to rotate in the midfield contributing with both offensive and defensive stats.
Backstopping the Hawks will be starting goaltender sophomore Meghan Stewart (Oswego, NY). During her freshman club season, she led the Hawks with saves last year. Stewart's strength of being a sound positional goalie, combined with impressive reaction speed will be critical to the Hawks success this season.
The Hilbert College women's lacrosse squad is anxiously waiting the spring season. The Hawks boast a talented mix of freshmen and upperclassmen and are confident the young group will be competitive for the upcoming season. They created an intense four-week fall-ball non-traditional season and since then, the Hawks have worked on their techniques individually for a quick start in March. The squad has shown continuous improvement since their fall debut and is predicted to surpass expectations as the underestimated underdog in all match ups this spring.
Hilbert opens with a road games at Keuka, Grove City (club team) and Franciscan University. Their first home game of the season is scheduled for March 23, when they host Thiel College. Cazenovia, Franciscan and Houghton make appearances in Hamburg while the Hawks travel to Alfred, Wells, Medaille, SUNYIT before they end their season at Mount Union College.
Hilbert College, located in suburban Hamburg, N.Y., south of Buffalo, is a private four-year college founded in 1957 in the Catholic Franciscan tradition. With nearly 1,100 students, Hilbert is a dynamic Western New York college that offers career-focused majors, including one of the top criminal justice programs in the region, and more than 50 minors and concentrations. The college's engaging, student-centered campus community offers numerous leadership, internship, and service learning opportunities from which students launch successful careers while making positive changes in their communities. The Hilbert Blueprint promotes a well-rounded student experience over four years – starting with the Foundations Seminar in the freshman year, followed by Sophomore Service, Junior Symposium, and culminating with the Senior Capstone. Hilbert has expanded its academic offerings with the college's first graduate programs and new Accelerated Degree Programs geared to adult learners.

All About Fish, Shellfish Allergies
It's an experience that has puzzled thousands of seafood lovers across Canada and around the world: You've eaten fish and shellfish all of your life with no ill effects, and then one day, you're eating some tasty tidbit from the sea – maybe some jumbo shrimp, some butter-drenched lobster, or some fresh-caught salmon – and suddenly, you don't feel so good.
Maybe you feel like you're going to be sick to your stomach, or feel your throat tightening and your lungs beginning to wheeze. You may feel flushed and hot as your face turns beet red. Maybe you break into hives from head to toe, or feel like you're going to pass out as your heart takes off like a bullet train.
Chances are that you are having an allergic reaction to seafood – the most common culprits in the allergy world.
What's The Problem?
Seafood can be divided into two groups: shellfish and fish. Shrimp is behind most of the reactions, and shellfish as a group – which can include oysters, mussels, scallops, squid, crab, snails and many more – tends to be more problematic than finned fish. (In one survey by FAAN and Mount Sinai researchers, two per cent of respondents reported a shellfish allergy, whereas just 0.4 per cent reported an allergy to fish.)
Symptoms of a reaction to seafood can include flushing and swelling in the face, mouth and throat; digestive tract symptoms such as nausea and diarrhea; itching and hives; difficulty breathing; lightheadedness or faintness; a sudden drop in blood pressure and a rapid heartbeat.
In severe cases, a person may experience anaphylactic shock, a reaction that includes one or more of the body's systems and can result in cardiac arrest and death.
Widespread Incidence
A whopping 2.3 per cent of Americans are allergic to some form of seafood, whether it's fish, crustaceans or mollusks. In Canada, 1.69 per cent of people are allergic to shellfish and 0.48 per cent are allergic to fish. What's more, a 15-nation study showed the incidence is similarly high right around the world.
See: Seafood Allergy Statistics
Because of its high incidence, Health Canada has named both shellfish and fish "priority food allergens", which means tougher labeling rules for Canadian manufacturers. Other regions, including the United States and Europe, have also included seafood on their lists of top allergens.
See: Label Aware
It's a Grown-Up Thing
What's different about seafood allergies is that they are largely an adult phenomenon. In Canada, 1.69 per cent of adults have shellfish allergy, compared to just 0.5 per cent of children. According to the FAAN-Mount Sinai survey, 2.8 per cent of adults in the United States reported a seafood allergy, as compared with just 0.6 percent of children.
This can be especially problematic, since most adults are accustomed to eating seafood, so when they react, it doesn't seem to make sense to them. Often they dismiss earlier, less severe reactions as food poisoning or simply "something they ate"; but then they get a tough lesson in science as the allergy grows more severe and the reactions more extreme.
Unfortunately, once an adult develops a shellfish allergy, he or she likely has that allergy for life.

Back to school.
Updated: November 6.
Chandler Massey recently exited from the role of Will Horton. While it will be awhile before Guy Wilson will begin appearing in the role, lots of viewers have been left wondering how the transition will work. "Days" co-executive producer Greg Meng dropped a few hints in this interview with Backlot.
TheBacklot asked for the definitive story about Chandler's departure and Greg Meng said, "It's real simple. There was a lot of accuracy and inaccuracy in the press. Chandler is not on the show right now. We have an incredible actor on board that is able to take the reins from this role that Chandler did an amazing job creating. And we found somebody who's extremely talented… but more than talented, he's so sensitive to this role and so sensitive to the story and the relationship and all that stuff. So we feel that we were very, very lucky to find somebody who wanted to take the reins. It's an extremely difficult thing to do because Chandler had created such a wonderful role here, played it so sensitively and everything. So we think we found him, and we are very lucky to have somebody that will take those reins that Chandler handed to him and go forward with that." He went on to discuss what Guy Wilson had that helped him snag the role. "You obviously look for some sort of physical similarity on some level. You're not looking for a cookie cutter because these are human beings and actors, and they have to make [the part] their own. But it's beyond just looks. It has a lot to do with the sensitivity to the story and what we want to do with it and the eagerness of an actor to really get inside that storyline. And even more importantly the chemistry between whatever other key characters are important with that role…I'm telling you, [Guy Wilson's] not only doing Chandler justice with what he created in this role, but he's inside it. I'm telling you, you will love him." Meng goes on to talk about Freddie (Sonny) and Wilson (nu-Will) having the same chemistry. "Sometimes you just hit gold. And I think we've done it."
For more, read The Back Lot's full interview with Greg Meng.
Updated: August 27.
In light of Chandler Massey's (Will) departure, "Days Of Our Lives" has released the following public statement:
"As Chandler Massey announced back in June, he will be leaving the show to further pursue his education and other entertainment opportunities. While 'Days of our Lives' is disappointed to lose such a talent, the show understands and supports him in his future endeavors. Due to current storyline and the timely discovery of new talent that the show feels is the right recast for Will Horton, a mutual decision has been made for the changes to taken place immediately. Chandler will always be a part of the 'Days' family and we wish him nothing but continued success."
Updated: August 23.
Chandler Massey (Will) has confirmed that he will be exiting the series immediately. According to Soap Opera Digest, Massey reached an agreement with "Days" to leave now that they have found someone to replace him. News of who the recast is has not yet been released. Massey made the following statement to his fans on Twitter:
As I move forward from Days, I will never forget the laughs we shared, the tears we shed, & the love we spread. Time to get edumacated!— Chandler Massey (@ChandlerMassey) August 23, 2013
Original article: June 25.
After winning his second consecutive Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Younger Actor, Chandler Massey (Will) stated to the press room that, "I think that after my current contract is up, I want to go back to school. I want to graduate. I want to have a degree. I just want to keep looking forward." His contract ends in December. Massey joined the cast of "DOOL" in 2010.
No official confirmation of the exit has been made by the series. With material being shot so far ahead, the earliest his character would be likely to leave the canvas would be at the end of next spring.

Dr. Ronald Allan Charles has a personal history with judo that covers over 50 years of his life.
In that time he's been honored by the United States Judo Association on a number of occasions, most recently when he was named the USJA's Coach of the Year.
With over 200 members, Dr. Charles operates the largest USJA club for judo and jujitsu at the Naval Weapons Station. Judo is an Olympic sport that developed from jujitsu (self-defense). He teaches for free but members must be connected to the military.
"It is indeed a great honor to be named coach of the year," he said. "I work very hard to build judo and share this Olympic sport and the martial art with others. I have fun teaching judo. My club has grown to be the largest in the USJA because of the work we all do. I have some fantastic instructors and together we've built the largest club in Goose Creek."
The USJA awards committee will present him with a plaque at The Greatest Camp on Earth in Matthews, N.C., in June, where over 300 judo and jujitsu practitioners share skills. Dr. Charles is one of the regular camp instructors, teaching black belts how to improve their teaching through the coach education program.
"Jujitsu is self defense," Dr. Charles said. "There are many styles of self defense. The style I teach in the school I operate is traditional self defense. Jujitsu is not a game. It's survival. Judo is the game. We teach judo and jujitsu."
Dr. Charles first was inducted into the USJA National Hall of Fame in 1985 as Outstanding Life Member Contributor. He also received a lifetime achievement award three years ago.
Dr. Charles began judo as a Citadel cadet in 1961 and now holds an eighth degree black belt in judo and a sixth degree black belt in jujitsu. After graduating in 1965 and then serving as an Army officer in Germany, he eventually studied judo in Japan under Kotani Sensei, a student of the founder of judo.
"I was fortunate to go to the mecca of judo," Dr. Charles said. "A guy that taught me was the student of the guy that invented judo. I tell people that I'm the grand student of the person that invented judo."
Dr. Charles graduated from North Charleston High School in 1961.

Tanya Robinson remembers going on a field trip with her sons class when he was 7 years old.
Robinson said the teacher called out three students in the classroom who stood up, looking like they were about to cry, and were sent to another teachers classroom. They did not go on the field trip.
Robinson later asked the teacher why the three students were not allowed to go on the trip. The teacher said, They didnt have any money.
Robinson felt bad that the three students had been called out in front of the entire class. Ever since she was a little girl she has always wanted to be a teacher and she feels it is never right to hurt a childs spirit.
I always wanted to be a teacher and be an adult who made little kids feel good, she said.
This year Robinson is up for reelection in Dorchester District Twos school board election. She currently serves as secretary and legislative chairman for the board, and was elected to the board four years ago.
This is her second time running and probably her last, she said.
I wanted to accomplish certain things and I think its important to have a mixture of new and seasoned folks, she said. I was grateful there were seasoned folks when I was new because they brought a lot of help to me and a lot of experience.
Robinson and her husband of 39 years, Kent, are two of the founders of Tidelands Bank, based in Mt. Pleasant. Robinson is one of the seven directors for the bank.
Prior to Tidelands, Robinson taught in Berkeley County for a year before she had children. She then became active in Parent Teacher Associations (PTAs) and has been a PTA president under seven principals. She also taught 4-year-old kindergarten at Bethany United Methodist Church for 20 years.
Robinson became the districts PTA president 12 years ago and is now the president-elect for South Carolinas PTA. She also serves on DD2s finance and budget committees.
Since joining DD2s school board, Robinson says she is a voice representing the parents at the table. Parents have got to be included in the decision-making and I think Ive brought that to the forefront, she said.
This summer DD2 held an education series for parents to learn what their children are going to be learning in class this year. Robinson said she asked to have an education series, and that the sessions have been a blessing to the parents.
Parents have to know whats going in their childrens lives if theyre going to be proactive in helping their education, she said. If they dont understand all these new standards, how can we be held accountable in helping their most priceless commodity?
If she gets re-elected, Robinson would like to keep trying to involve parents more, and keep working with legislation in the community.
Robinson would also like to see the three new elementary schools once they are built.
It would be a sense of great accomplishment to have that, she said. Weve had bumps in the road, but you cant build a back porch without having a few bumps. Were building three edifices.
Robinson and her husband have four children and 11 grandchildren. They have also had seven foster children live with them.
Robinson said DD2 is in a great community.
Were the best of the best, she said, and its an honor to represent the best of the best.
With the three new schools being built, Robinson feels she should remain on the board in order to contribute to that mixture of new and seasoned members.
I know I will be conscientious and try to do a good job, she said.

Dominique Jamal Pitts was in Jones County Superior Court Jan. 17 to stipulate to recent probation violations of possession of marijuana, violating curfew, and not paying his fees and fines.
Assistant District Attorney Keagan Waystack asked the court to send Pitts to a state residential substance abuse treatment program until he successfully completes the program. He will then return to probation subject to original terms and conditions.
The defendant will remain in the Jones County Law Enforcement Center until space is available for him at the drug treatment facility.
In an e-mail inquiring about Pitts' sentence, Waystack noted that the defendant served the entire first 10 years of his sentence in prison.
"We were trying to not take the rest of his life and ability away from him," she commented.

Say you're an NFL player getting on in your career. You remember the days when you could plunge through the line 20, 30 times a game, post a dozen tackles, go all four quarters and overtime too. But now you don't have the zip you used to. Sometimes you're not even up for a game at all. It's OK. It happens to a lot of players.
But all hope is not lost. If you believe Chicago's Brandon Marshall, some players have found a way to keep that pep in their in-game step: a certain little blue pill. (more…)

CRESTVIEW — School's out, but Northwood Elementary School's decision to cease printing yearbooks still concerns Crestview resident Andy Watts, whose son, Gus, just finished third grade.
"I think it's just wrong," he said. "I have never heard of such a thing."
Ending publication of a bound edition of classmates' faces means the end of a sentimental pastime, he said.
"What parent doesn't want to reflect on school memories with their children," Andy said.
Former principal Jacqueline Craig — who was on the school's leadership committee that voted down the yearbook — said that costs factored into the decision.
"Due to low volume sales, there were several years the school had to subsidize the financing of the yearbook by paying a portion of the publishing costs," she said in an email. "... It had become cost prohibitive for our school and for our families."
Additionally, the school paid substitutes to watch classes while full-time teachers compiled yearbook material, Craig said.
Further, yearbooks might have been out of a number of Northwood households' budgets, said the former principal, now on special assignment at Walker Elementary School.
"Unfortunately, these are tough financial times; 59 percent of Northwood's students are on federal assistance for meals," she said.
The committee did explore options to save the publication, Craig said.
"One option we did discuss was publishing fewer yearbooks," she said. "However, by purchasing a lesser volume, the cost went up, making the cost of the yearbook prohibitive for those who could normally afford one."
Such reasons aren't acceptable to Watts, who said Northwood is the only local school without a yearbook. Riverside, Antioch, Bob Sikes and Walker Elementary schools all had yearbooks.
Craig said she was also disappointed that the school could not provide yearbooks but hopes the school can offer yearbooks in the future.
Watts had spoken to Craig about the issue, while said she had also spoke to one other parent about the issue, who understood the school's stance.
"If my memory serves me correct, I had no other telephone calls from parents concerning this issue," she said.
Although the school couldn't provide a yearbook, Gus' third-grade teacher Paige Parker had.
Parker and fellow third-grade teacher Erin Adams produced a small yearbook for their classes. For $15 their students could buy a copy of a class yearbook.
Watts said he appreciated the effort.
"If it had not been for his teacher, accepting responsibility that is not hers, we wouldn't have this," he said.

Are LifeProof Cases compatible with add-ons like the Apple bumpers or the ZAGG InvisibleShield?
Last Updated: 12/4/2012 9:02 am
LifeProof Cases are created with dimensions to specifically fit the device itself. Products that change the dimensions of the LifeProof case would not be compatible with our case.
While the Zagg InvisibleSHIELD does not affect the dimensions of the iPhone, it introduces a thin layer over the screen which, when coupled with the LifeProof case, may affect touchscreen sensitivity as well as the optical clarity. For this reason it is not recommended that you use an InvisibleSHIELD with your LifeProof case - the case will keep your phone more than safe enough!

Games of the VII Olympiad
The 1920 Games were awarded to Antwerp to honour the suffering that had been inflicted on the Belgian people during World War I. The Opening Ceremony was notable for the introduction of the Olympic flag and the presentation of the Athletes' Oath. It was also at these Games that for the first time only National Olympic Committees could enroll participants.
Five of Canada's eight medals were won in the boxing ring. Albert Schneider faced four opponents in three days, and after three rounds in the final match, Graham and Georges Prud'homme took silver, and Moe Herscovitch and Chris Newton each won bronze. In athletics, Earl Thomson was crowned Olympic champion in the 110m hurdles. Swimmer George Vernot was a double-medallist – silver and bronze in the 1500m and 400m freestyle respectively. The Canadian team was comprised of 47 athletes.

To kill an AmericanFebruary 07,2013The New York Times, in an editorial, said the following:
On one level, there were not too many surprises in the newly disclosed white paper offering a legal reasoning behind the claim that President Barack Obama has the power to order the killing of U.S. citizens who are believed to be part of al-Qaida. We knew Obama and his lawyers believed he has that power under the Constitution and federal law. We also knew that he utterly rejects the idea that Congress or the courts have any right to review such a decision in advance, or even after the fact.
Still, it was disturbing to see the twisted logic of the administrations lawyers laid out in black and white. It had the air of a legal justification written after the fact for a policy decision that had already been made, and it brought back unwelcome memories of memos written for President George W. Bush to justify illegal wiretapping, indefinite detention, kidnapping, abuse and torture.
The document, obtained and made public by NBC News, was written by the Justice Department and coyly describes another, classified document (which has been described in The Times) that actually provided the legal justification for ordering the killing of U.S. citizens.
That document still has not been provided to Congress, despite repeated demands from lawmakers. The white paper was sent to Capitol Hill seven months after the military carried out Obamas orders to kill Anwar al-Awlaki, an American who moved to Yemen and became an advocate of jihad against the United States.
In private, administration officials say Awlaki was a commander of an al-Qaida affiliate and actively involved in planning attacks on the United States. Publicly, it has refused even to acknowledge that Obama ordered Awlaki killed or back up its claim that he was an active terrorist. The White House has vigorously fought holding any court hearing over the killing of Awlaki or his 16-year-old son, who was killed in a subsequent attack.
The American Civil Liberties Union is suing to have the operational memo on those killings released, arguing that a U.S. citizen has constitutional rights that a judge must make sure are being respected. We agree.
According to the white paper, the Constitution and the congressional authorization for the use of force after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, gave Obama the right to kill any U.S. citizen that an informed, high-level official decides is a senior operational leader of Al Qaeda or an associated force and presents an imminent threat of violent attack.
It never tries to define what an informed, high-level official might be, and the authors of the memo seem to have redefined the word imminent in a way that diverges sharply from its customary meaning. It talks about due process and the need to balance a persons life against the United States interest in forestalling the threat of violence and death to other Americans.
But it takes the position that the only oversight needed for such a decision resides within the executive branch, and there is no need to explain the judgment to Congress, the courts or the public or, indeed, to even acknowledge that the killing took place.
The paper argues that judges and Congress dont have the right to rule on or interfere with decisions made in the heat of combat. Some officials also draw a parallel to police officers who use violence to protect the innocent. Even in wartime, there are many ways to review commanders and soldiers decisions, and while courts-martial are internal to the military, their verdicts are subject to appeal to a civilian judge. When a police officer so much as discharges his weapon, it triggers a great deal of review, based on rules that are known to everyone.
The white paper is a confusing blend of self-defense and law of war concepts and doesnt clearly explain whether there is a different standard for killing a senior AQ leader depending on whether he is a citizen, said Kate Martin, director of the Center for National Security Studies. Its due process analysis is especially weak.
The memo could and should have been released months ago. The administration could and should have provided a select number of lawmakers with the specifics on the killing of Awlaki and his son. The president could and should have acknowledged that decision and explained it.
Going forward, he should submit decisions like this one to review by Congress and the courts. If necessary, Congress could create a special court to handle this sort of sensitive discussion, like the one it created to review wiretapping. This dispute goes to the fundamental nature of our democracy, to the relationship among the branches of government and to their responsibility to the public.MORE IN CommentaryPresident Barack Obamas ambitious goals for reducing emissions of climate-changing gases have...
