Local business delegation travels to Middle EastWritten by Duane Ramsey | | email@example.com
A delegation of local business owners departed Feb. 24 on a cultural and educational exchange trip to Jordan and the United Arab Emirates.
The trip runs through March 16 and is hosted by the Great Lakes Consortium for International Training and Development (GLC) and is sponsored by the U.S. Department of State Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs.
The GLC received a grant for the exchange from the State Department through the WSOS Community Action Commission, acting as contract agent and manager. The University of Toledo College of Business and Innovation and the Center for Family & Privately-Held Businesses are facilitating the bilateral exchange.
Delegations of business owners from Jordan and Lebanon visited Toledo in September and May to learn about entrepreneurial and family businesses in the U.S., said Thomas Gutteridge, dean of the College of Business and Innovation.
The group toured local companies, attended family business workshops and identified key issues for improving their businesses. The local delegation acted as hosts, mentors and speakers during the fall and spring visits, said Elizabeth Balint, coordinator of the exchanges.
Now, the GLC delegation is visiting the Middle East to learn how they operate and host workshops at local universities to continue consulting about issues of interest.
The U.S. delegation departed from Detroit Metropolitan Airport, flying to Paris and then to Amman, Jordan. It is scheduled to spend several days in Amman, Abu Dhabi and Dubai.
Martin Nagy, executive director of the Arts Council Lake Erie West and volunteer with the GLC, is serving as leader of the delegation while making his first trip to the Middle East.
"Projects like these take on a life of their own and that's why I look forward to this trip," Nagy said. "I believe in success for everyone in these programs, including participants, faculty, students and alumni."
Patti Skaff, an instructor of international business at Lourdes College, hosted the delegations that visited this area and was invited to make this trip.
Skaff said it is her first trip to the Middle East and will serve as an opportunity for her to experience what she teaches about how international business is conducted. It also applies to her work as international accounts manager for Impact Products of Toledo, which hosted the foreign delegations.
Karl Parker, president and CEO of Parker Enterprises, said he "hopes to establish relationships on green space and sustainability and bring back their best practices and some sources for exporting business in electrical construction products to the U.S." Parker has some international business experience, working in a family business and for a large corporation in the Far East.
Tom and Annie Pipatjarasgit are a husband and wife team involved in a family business. Tom serves as president and Annie as vice president of marketing and product development for the chain of Magic Wok restaurants founded in Toledo by his father.
The Pipatjarasgits got to know the delegations from the Middle East and look forward to learning about the businesses there. They also have friends from the Middle East who own and operate restaurants in Toledo.
"We're looking for opportunities to grow our business internationally," Tom said.
Bill Darah, chairman and CEO of Superior Uniform Sales in Toledo, and his wife Amira served as hosts for the delegations from the Middle East. The couple is now visiting them in their countries.
Darah is from the third generation of a family dry-cleaning business founded in the mid-1920s. It evolved into the uniform business that provides embroidery and screen printing services to its customers.
Bill and Amira's ancestors came from the Middle East so they look forward to returning to the area they have previously visited. She will serve as the delegation's translator.
Ronald and Janice Overmyer of Oak Harbor have been involved in family businesses for many years. A retired agricultural extension agent, he grew up on a family farm that raised corn, soy beans, vegetables and wheat as well as pigs and milk cows.
Overmyer has helped establish several value-added agricultural businesses to assist farm families in wealth creation. He has served as a mentor for business development and entrepreneur programs of the GLC for international visitors.
James Hartung described himself as the "nontraditional delegate" since he is not an owner of a business. He believes he offers a unique perspective with 30 years in international business development with public and private partnerships, such as leading the Toledo-Lucas County Port Authority.
Hartung is currently a management consultant with James A. Poure & Associates, which serves family-owned and small businesses. He also serves as chairman of the board for Enviro, a local environmental technology firm.
"It will be a very exciting and educational experience to see how the young business owners continue trying to effect change, growing and developing their businesses despite challenges they face in their countries," Skaff said.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – The New Mexico State baseball team (19-18) fell 13-6 to in-state rival New Mexico (20-17) on a cold and extremely windy day in Albuquerque, Wednesday, April 17. NM State split the series with the Rio Grande Rivals this year and is now 4-2 against the Lobos in the last two years.
The Aggies opened the game with a solo home run by junior catcher Tanner Rust to take an early 1-0 lead but UNM crossed the plate twice in the bottom of the inning. NM State would not regain the lead again as the Lobos scored two more runs in the bottom of the second to take a 4-1 lead.
Another solo-shot by Rust in the top of the third made it a 4-2 game but UNM scored two more in the bottom of the third going up by the score of 6-2. NM State went into the fifth inning down 7-2 but a two-RBI single by senior Kyle Phillips squeezed the Lobo lead to 7-4.
After the Aggies allowed another two runs to cross the plate in the bottom of the fifth, the NM State offense threatened in the top of the sixth with bases loaded but the no runs would cross the plate. It was the third time in the game the Aggies left the bags full of runners as it also happened in the first and fifth innings.
The Lobos scored two more run in the seventh but a great diving catch by second baseman Kent Blackstone stopped the bleeding. The Aggies were held scoreless in the top of the eighth before the UNM scored two more runs, one off a throwing error by an Aggie pitcher.
Phillips picked up an RBI on a 4-3 groundout and Blackstone marked an RBI on a sacrifice fly to centerfield taking the score to 13-6.
Starting pitcher Robert Kraft was credited with the loss and is 0-1 on the year while UNM pitcher Jake McCasland got the win and is now 1-0 this season. The Aggie defense struggled as it tallied season-high six errors while allowing seven stolen bases. The NM State offense posted 11 hits but left 12 runners on base.
Rust led the Aggies going 2-of-5 at the dish with two homers and sophomore Cameron Haskins was 2-of-2 at the plate with a run scored. Phillips also had a 2-of-5 day batting while he marked a team-high three RBI.
NM State heads back into Western Athletic Conference play taking on Louisiana Tech in Ruston, La. in a three-game series starting Friday, April 19. First pitch on Friday is set for 5:00 p.m. (MT) and airs on the radio in Las Cruces on KSNM AM 570. Both NM State and La. Tech baseball teams are planning to wear Boston Red Sox (replica) hats to honor those affected by the Boston Marathon tragedy.

I've always thought that Opera is the browser most closely related to Google's philosophy. It may seem strange, but Opera's mail client has many things in common with Gmail (labels, a threaded view), Opera includes search in most views and it usually adds innovative features long before the competition. Another interesting tidbit is that Opera has been supported by Google's contextual ads.
Unfortunately, many Google services don't work in Opera, because of some browser flaws or lack of testing. Another reason is that Opera has a very small market share and very few people care about supporting it.
Opera 9.5, launched today in alpha, tries to solve two of the most important Google problems: persistence of your browser's settings and a searchable web history. Google already has solutions for these problems, but they're limited and not properly integrated. Google Browser Sync is a Firefox extension that synchronizes your bookmarks, cookies, passwords and sessions across multiple computers, while Google Toolbar lets you send all the pages you visit to Google Web History, where you can search them.
Opera also makes your history searchable, but it stores the index on your computer, the same as Google Desktop. You can search the full content of the pages, from the History page or from the address bar.
"With Opera 9.5, we introduce full history search - search the complete Web pages you visited, but without requiring you to bookmark them. Unlike previous and other browser history searches which only look at the URLs of the pages you have visited, full history search searches the actual content of the Web pages you have visited."
If you have a My Opera account (maybe you're a fan), you can store your bookmarks online and have them automatically synchronized every time you make a change. There's no interface for viewing the bookmarks online and no other data is synchronized for the moment. The feature will become even more valuable when you'll be able to synchronize your bookmarks between the desktop version and Opera Mini or Opera for Wii.
So I think it's ironic that the software most closely related to my definition of a Google Browser doesn't work well with many Google services, including Google Docs, Picasa Web Albums, Google Notebook, Google Page Creator, Blogger (this script solves some of the problems).
The latest build of Opera 9.5 is available here for Windows, Mac and Linux. Don't install it over a previous Opera installation or if you're not adventurous.

Comments about Classroom Quilt:
Our K-5 students love to use ordered pairs to locate their work on the quilt. We also play games with it, like giving the coordinates for the correct answer to a math fact or problem. I've made cards for shapes, time, money, fractions, and math vocabulary and have more plans for this year. The possibilities are endless. The students even make their own cards to create math games. I label the edges with letters or numbers on sticky notes, and change them for variety.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

A proposed water treatment project for the Stollings area took a major step forward Tuesday night.
A public hearing on the matter was held as part of the March meeting of the Logan Town Council and a representative for the project was on hand to answer questions. John Stump told councilmembers that a public hearing was required to move the project forward and asked if anybody had any questions about the proposed extension of services to 25 customers in the Stollings area.
Ironically the only questions were those asked by local reporters who wanted to know the cost of the project and how long it would take to complete. Stump said the build phase would take around 90 construction days and the "total cost for everything" would be in the $825,000 range.
"Over 50 percent of that is being paid for by grant funding," Stump added.
Logan Mayor Serafino Nolletti said 12 of the customers would be businesses while the other 13 would be residential customers. Following the discussion a third reading of the ordinance for the project was read and approved.
"On the 26th of March, we will be back for a meeting on the loans and we will be able to show you what the debt service on this project will look like," Stump said, explaining the ordinance would go into effect after that meeting, at 1 p.m.
"We will sign the closing documents then," Stump said.
As has become a ritual at the council meetings City Building Code Enforcement Officer Ray Perry had an update about various FEMA projects around Logan in the wake of last year's major storms. Perry and Nolletti said the city had met with FEMA officials and contractors and engineers about three slip repairs in the city which should begin soon. Perry said the first one scheduled is a repair on Charles Street which could begin on Monday. Two of the projects will consist of pile walls while the last will be a lag fence.
"We will try to get these projects done with a minimum of inconvenience to the citizens on Mountain Lake Park," the mayor said.
He and Police Chief E.K. Harper noted that traffic snags and delays have become a part of daily life in Logan with several projects going on at the same time.
Nolletti said a survey was completed on the Central City Walk Bridge project and the next phases in it will be a core drilling followed by an architect's design.
"They will come up with different styles of bridges and bring them to the council to see which one we want," Mayor Nolletti said. "Then we will obtain a contractor to build it."
The mayor said the new bridge should be in place within the next ten months.
Nolletti and Chief Harper had more good news for the city.
Construction work on the long awaited improved trail connector between the world famous Hatfield-McCoy Trails and the city of Logan has begun.
"Hatfield-McCoy has been working on this new connector for the past three weeks," Nolletti said. Ironically the new connector, which will allow residents to ride from Bearwallow trail into Logan, will actually be closer to the original design several years back, which had been radically downgraded. In time the connector will reach the hotel at the FountainPlace Plaza allowing riders to get to the trails from both hotels in Logan without having to haul their ATVs or UTVs in trucks to the trailhead.
Harper had some more good news for the council. For months the Logan Police Department has literally been swamped with shoplifting calls from Walmart at the FountainPlace Plaza. It has not been unusual for officers to be taking a suspect to city hall to be processed, or the jail to be booked when they were called back again on another shoplifting complaint. This has become a tremendous strain on the Logan Police Department's manpower and morale, to say the least. The Logan P.D. has also been tied up trying to help ease the flow of traffic around major construction and demolition projects in the town at the same time.
"The good news is that Walmart has brought back the door greeters and that has cut down on some of the shoplifting attempts and it is helping us out tremendously," Harper said.
Harper also thanked those present, including Nolletti and several local businesses for their part in a television ad showcasing the city of Logan, made for SuddenLink Television. In addition to local figures and businesses the commercial also features several tourists from Canada who were visiting Logan that day. Funds from the town's hotel and motel Convention and Visitors Bureau tax helped pay for the commercial.
Perry said that a group of out of state college students had done some major cleaning up in town recently and that another group of art students had expressed a wish to pain a large mural in town on one of the previously graffiti strewn walls. Perry said he would like to see a mural showing the history of Logan from Pioneer Days to tourists riding the Hatfield-McCoy Trails.
In other City of Logan news:
• City Clerk Amber Miller Viars discussed the minutes of the Safety Committee Reports and how the project has saved the town thousands of dollars in insurance premiums and other costs.
"Also, of importance is the news that Ron Gaiter who has been of major assistance to our town, was in the hospital recently but he has been released," she added. "Most of you know Ron and are aware of the hard work he has put in with helping the town with beautification projects through the community service workers at the Logan Day Report. In recent weeks, they have been helping Richard Ojeda and LEAD with removing tires from creeks and streams. He has always been a friend to the residents of Logan and has been somebody we could all depend upon when we needed help for clean ups. Our prayers go out to him."
Street Commissioner Kevin Marcum, a longtime friend of Gaiter, agreed noting that Gaiter had worked hand in hand with the street department and other organizations to help get things cleaned up all over Logan County.
"Mr. Gaiter doesn't just supervise things, he rolls up his sleeves and works on projects too," Marcum noted. "He and the people at the Day Report Center who do community service has really helped us a lot over the years and I was shocked to find out he had been in the hospital. He's a good person and a good friend to the city."
• Council approved $80,000 in monthly bills to be paid.
• A representative of the nearby Town of West Logan brought a message of thanks from that town's council, mayor and police chief for assistance in changing out the traffic light at the Peach Creek Bridge. The herald noted that when the lights were out, it created a dangerous situation and the Logan Fire Department worked quickly to replace them. Over the years the Logan Fire Department has responded to several major accidents in that area to provide first aid and assistance.
• City Accountant Jeff Valet discussed the upcoming budget for the next fiscal year and a special meeting to make changes. "We operated in the past 12 months with a major surplus," Valet said, noting the city was not always that lucky. Valet said some changes will include vehicles that had been paid off, and grants that had been utilized.
• Street Commissioner Kevin Marcum said the city had not had to purchase any new salt, due to recent warm weather and that the street department had been getting ready for spring by cutting vegetation and repairing storm drains.
• Councilman Basil Ken Lee congratulated the Logan Lady Wildcats for their excellent performance in the recent state championship tournaments. "It was not the first time they went, but it was the first time they went and won a game, and we are proud of them," Lee said.

New Magazine Takes A Grown-Up Look At Adoption
The complex and interconnected topics of adoption, race, and culture will form the backbone of a new online magazine that is starting this week. Gazillion Voices was begun with those goals in mind, says Kevin Vollmers, who created the magazine as an extension of his blog, Land of Gazillion Adoptees.
Part of Gazillion Voices' mission, as Vollmers tells Laura Yuen of Minnesota Public Radio, is to tell the stories of adult adoptees.
"That's one of the biggest things about adoption that people forget to think about," says Vollmers, who lives in Minneapolis. "We actually grow up and make something of ourselves. We have kids, we have families, we have our own professional lives."
As Yuen reports, Vollmers "was born in South Korea and adopted at age 7 by a family from western Minnesota."
Vollmers says the new magazine will focus on success stories, as well as on stories that challenge the way many people view adoption. And it will discuss the way adoptive parents are prepared — or aren't — to raise children who are of a different ethnicity.
"If you are going to place an African-American child in the middle of nowhere in northern Minnesota where they are going to be the 'diversity,' you best make sure there are resources available for those kids," he tells Yuen.
As it begins, Gazillion Voices is using a subscriber model online, requiring monthly or annual fees to view most of its content.

To The Editor:
Many folks from The Valley know the Heise family who lived in Waitsfield and Waterbury from the 1970s through the 1990s. Bill Heise (Heise Sculpture) recently died of cancer and the family has a new set of challenges. Coby Heise, son of Don and Bev and brother of Chad, has been diagnosed with laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma as well as esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. These are stage four cancers. He's being treated with an experimental cancer drug, due largely to the fact that his many medical issues contraindicate treatment via any other means.
Coby has always been a survivor. When he was in high school, he played varsity soccer, baseball and hockey for all four years. Not only was he successful in being able to compete in the grueling sport of ice hockey with diabetes, Tourette's syndrome and morphea/scleroderma, he was also able to set school and state records for scoring in the process. Coby was also a great student, winning many area scholarships. His high school years were so productive, in fact, that he was recently notified that he is being inducted into the Harwood High School Hall of Fame.
Coby was good enough to play Division 1 college baseball for UVM, and he played a year of professional baseball in one of the major independent pro leagues after college. Coby saw his health conditions as challenges rather than as problems. Several years after college, Coby tried his hand at amateur boxing and found more success, competing at the Golden Gloves and several other large events in New England. He did this to prove that someone with diabetes could compete successfully in yet another grueling sport.
Coby is a single dad. He has his boys for weekdays and every other weekend. Between raising the boys, undergoing chemotherapy, severe exhaustion and attending frequent medical appointments, it is a struggle for Coby to work even 15 hours per week. The financial implications of reduced work and a growing pile of bills are taking their toll on Coby. He wants to try to keep his house and if worse comes to worse, have something left over for the boys other than debt.
Coby has handled his difficult life with amazing strength and character. Up until now, he's been able to stand up to the challenges that life has brought his way. Please consider helping Coby by donating online at everribbon.com or sending something directly to Coby Heise, P.O. Box 42, Calais, VT 05648.

Officials criticize Obama plan
CHARLESTON -- With West Virginia being the nation's second-leading coal producer, several of its elected officials on Tuesday predicted lost mining jobs and higher utility bills from President Barack Obama's plan to target carbon dioxide from power plants.
While Obama's challenge to such criticisms failed to sway those officials, a major electricity provider and Mountain State residents offered more measured views of the proposal. At least one environmental group, meanwhile, called for additional steps to combat fossil fuels.
U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin, a fellow Democrat who as governor battled Obama's Environmental Protection Agency over mining, said the plan to regulate heat-trapping gases from new and existing power plants will prove "completely impossible to meet with existing technology."
"And if it's not feasible, it's not reasonable," Manchin said in a statement.
U.S. Rep. Nick Rahall, a Democrat who represents West Virginia's southern coalfields, condemned Obama's plan as "misguided, misinformed and untenable." Like Manchin, he and GOP U.S. Reps. Shelley Moore Capito and David McKinley all warned that the proposal threatened both the jobs and the relatively cheap power source that coal provides.
"Today's announcement is another move in the president's tyrannical game of picking winners and losers in the energy industry," Capito said in her statement.
Obama announced Tuesday that he was directing his administration to launch the first-ever federal regulations on heat-trapping gases emitted by new and existing power plants -- "to put an end to the limitless dumping of carbon pollution."
Other aspects of the plan will boost renewable energy production on federal lands, increase efficiency standards and prepare communities to deal with higher temperatures.
Even before Obama unveiled his plan Tuesday, Republican critics in Congress were lambasting it as a job-killer that would threaten the economic recovery. Obama dismissed those critics, noting the same arguments have been used in the past when the U.S. has taken other steps to protect the environment.
"That's what they said every time," Obama said. "And every time, they've been wrong."
Burning coal provided almost half the country's electricity nearly a decade ago, but such factors as cheaper natural gas helped reduce its share of the fuel mix to 37 percent by last year, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. More than 90 percent of the electricity produced in West Virginia comes from coal, the agency's latest figures show.
The president is deeply unpopular in West Virginia, at least partly because of his coal policies. Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin's administration is suing federal environmental regulators in one legal challenge and supporting mining interests in another. Tomblin did not immediately comment on Tuesday's proposal, though state Attorney General Patrick Morrisey joined fellow Republican counterparts from Alabama, Montana and Oklahoma to criticize the plan as "burdensome environmental overregulation."
Political leaders from coal-rich Kentucky offered up similar opinions and were quick to denounce the climate change initiatives, saying efforts to reduce carbon dioxide emissions will hurt that state's mining industry while driving up energy costs. U.S. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., said in a statement ahead of Obama's Tuesday speech that the president's policies are "threatening the very way of life that has sustained Kentucky communities for generations." Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear, a Democrat, has said the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is waging a war on coal.
The point was supported by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., on the Senate floor Tuesday.
"It's tantamount to kicking the ladder out from beneath the feet of many Americans struggling in today's economy," he said.
Both West Virginia and Kentucky have a deep economic and historical connection to the coal industry, but in recent years production in the Appalachian region has drastically dropped.
U.S. Rep. Bill Johnson, a Republican from Ohio's 6th Congressional District, said he was "deeply troubled that President Obama recklessly escalated his War on Coal this afternoon by circumventing Congress, and by unilaterally moving forward with unattainable and costly standards on new and existing coal-fired power plants."
Obama's far-reaching plan marks the president's most prominent effort yet to deliver on a major priority he laid out in his first presidential campaign and recommitted to at the start of his second term: to fight climate change in the U.S. and abroad and prepare American communities for its effects. Environmental activists have been irked that Obama's high-minded goals never materialized into a comprehensive plan.
By expanding permitting on public lands, Obama hopes to generate enough electricity from renewable energy projects such as wind and solar to power the equivalent of 6 million homes by 2020, effectively doubling the electric capacity federal lands now produce. He also set a goal to install 100 megawatts of energy-producing capacity at federal housing projects by the end of the decade.
Obama also announced $8 billion in federal loan guarantees to spur investment in technologies that can keep carbon dioxide produced by power plants from being released into the atmosphere.
But the linchpin of Obama's plan is the controls on new and existing power plants. Forty percent of U.S. carbon dioxide emissions, and one-third of greenhouse gases overall, come from electric power plants, according to the federal Energy Information Administration. The Obama administration already has proposed controls on new plants, but those controls have been delayed and not yet finalized.
American Electric Power believes that utilities can continue to reduce carbon dioxide releases with minimal economic pain, but only if Obama's policy gives them enough time and flexibility, spokeswoman Melissa McHenry said. She also said regulators must recognize the role to be played by the scheduled retirement of older power plants.
"The president appears to be taking a balanced approach to addressing the issue," McHenry said in a statement.
Kevin Richards, a 40-year-old banker from Poca who stopped his motorcycle at a convenience store across the Kanawha River from AEP's coal-fired John Amos plant, said he didn't mind Obama ramping up wind and solar projects.
"But it seems to me that before you start eliminating some technologies in favor of new ones, you need to make sure that the new ones work, they're efficient, they're plentiful enough to be able to take the place of others," Richards said. "Any advancement is going to create some natural dishevelment. It's going to put people out of work. That's just natural evolutionary law."
Poca's Pam Yates, whose husband recently retired as a coal miner, had a simple message for the president on West Virginia coal: "Leave it alone."
"I think it's a bad idea that he does it," Yates said. "Look how many people he's going to put out of work. West Virginia's already hurting now."
She worried that a hit to the state's economy will trickle down to the future of West Virginia's children and the quality of education.
Future generations also were on the mind of John Needham of Inverness, Fla.
Needham, who lives next to a power plant, said during a stop for gas and lunch in Cross Lanes en route home from his mother's funeral in Waterbury, Conn., that he didn't mind Obama's decision one bit.
"You've got to worry about your grandkids, and your grandkids' grandkids," Needham said. "That's the way I look at it. I recycle everything, because if people didn't, in another 10 years, then we're going to be up to our ears in garbage."
While calling Tuesday's proposal a good first step, Executive Director Tom Cormons of the environmental group Appalachian Voices contrasted its $8 billion in loan guarantees with the $250 million it offers to help rural utilities finance renewable energy and efficiency investments.
"It's clear that we need to see a much stronger commitment," Cormons said in a statement.

- Check that you're in a Wi-Fi coverage area. If you're connecting to a home network, see if other wireless devices are able to connect. If other devices can't connect you might need to reset your router. If you're connecting to a work Wi-Fi network or a hotspot, talk to your administrator or an employee at the hotspot.
- Your connection might have timed out. Try connecting again.
- If the Wi-Fi network that you want doesn't appear on the Wi-Fi settings screen, it might be hidden. If you know the network name, try connecting to the Wi-Fi network manually.
- Check that Mobile Hotspot mode is off. If Mobile Hotspot mode is on, your device can't connect to a Wi-Fi network.
If none of the suggestions above solve your connection issue, try these more advanced troubleshooting options:
- Check that the time on your BlackBerry device is synchronized with the network time. If the times are different, it could prevent your device from connecting (for example, if connecting to the network requires you to have a certificate on your device, and the certificate has an expiration date).
- If you switched Wi-Fi networks manually, try switching to another Wi-Fi network.
- If your email account is a work account, your device might prevent connections to certain wireless access points. For more information, contact your administrator.
Still not connected? OK, try the following:
- Check that the settings for the Wi-Fi network are correct. To find out which settings to use, for a home network, refer to the information that came with your router; for a work Wi-Fi network, talk to your administrator; for a public hotspot, refer to any information provided for the hotspot or talk to an employee at the hotspot who might have details about how to connect.
- If you use the Press WPS Button on Router setting in Wi-Fi Protected Setup, check that the Wi-Fi router uses Wi-Fi Protected Setup, and that it is set to send its profile. Verify that another device is not also attempting to connect at the same time, and that not more than one Wi-Fi router within range is set to send its profile. For more information, see the information that came with your router.
- If you use PEAP, EAP-TLS, EAP-FAST, or EAP-TTLS to connect to a Wi-Fi network, check that you installed the root certificate for the certificate authority server that created the certificate for the authentication server. The root certificate must be installed on your device before you can connect to the network. For more information, talk to your administrator.
- If you use EAP-TLS to connect to a Wi-Fi network, check that you installed your authentication certificate on your device. The authentication certificate must be installed on your device before you can connect to the network. For more information, talk to your administrator.
- If you need to contact a support representative, you can access diagnostic information by tapping on the Wi-Fi settings screen. To copy the log information to send to your support representative, in the Diagnostic Information drop-down list, tap Logs. Tap Copy Logs.

Sullivan's Island resident Stanford Joel has captured more video footage of coyotes prowling around the barrier island when humans are scarce.
Joel said he knew wildlife lived in the area, so last month he set up a motion- and heat-activated camera on his fence facing into a beach access path.
Soon, two coyotes were captured on camera prowling off Station 26 1/2, near the beach, according to Joel, who posted the video on YouTube. His camera also got footage of some deer.
Joel has now posted more footage, including one segment that shows a coyote coming right up to the camera to investigate. He also secured his first daylight shots of his furry visitors.

Four games into a 72-game season isn't nearly enough of a sample size to make any final determinations about a team.
WHO: Orlando Solar Bears at South Carolina Stingrays
WHEN: Tuesday, 7:05 p.m.
WHERE: North Charleston Coliseum
RECORDS: Orlando 2-2-0 (4 points); 3-0-1 (7 points)
But there are some early signs that have South Carolina Stingrays head coach Spencer Carbery optimistic about the next five months.
South Carolina is 3-0-1 (7 points) on the young season, just a couple of points behind first place Florida in the South Division as the Stingrays take on Orlando (2-2-0, 0 points) Tuesday at the North Charleston Coliseum at 7:05 p.m.
The Stingrays have already taken three of four points from defending Kelly Cup champion Readig on the road and then thrashed South Division rival Greenville, 4-1, in their home opener on Saturday night.
While Carbery isn't making any postseason plans just yet, he is pleased by what he's seen so far.
"I see a lot of positives," Carbery said. "There's still a ton of work to be done and we're not nearly satisfied with how well we're playing, but so far we're been a pretty consistent hockey team from period to period."
The depth of the Stingrays three forward lines has been especially evident. The Stingrays are getting scoring from all three lines.
"I honestly don't think we've got a first, second or third line," Carbery said. "We've got three lines that on any given night can dominate for us. We're not dependent on one line for our scoring. That's a great luxury to have."
It hasn't hurt that goalie Jeff Jakaitis has started off in midseason form. He was named the ECHL Goalie of the Week last week and allowed just two goals in two games against Greenville in back-to-back games over the weekend.
"Jeff has been fantastic," Carbery said. "In the two games up in Reading we spent a lot of time in our defensive zone. I thought Reading definitely out-chanced us. We were able to get three of four points because of the way Jeff was playing."
Carbery said he doesn't expect this group to get complacent.
"The guys we have want to be playing at a higher level, so they're doing everything they can to get noticed down here," Carbery said. "If we've won eight games in a row or we've got a guy leading the league in scoring it won't matter. They're working so they can get a chance in the American League and even the NHL. That's what I really like about this group. They are not satisfied."

And no more micro-bubbles! Although the little nut&bolt that holds the output line to the tank attachment was a PITA to get on, it was a breeze to set up. ato By luis figueroa on 3/19/2015 luis figueroa would recommend this product to a friend bought my first ato about two weeks ago and I must say its been the best purchase ive ever made in this hobby. keeps water level and stability in parameters. so far so good. tunze 3155 By Derek on 3/18/2015 Derek would recommend this product to a friend I love this thing. no more worries when im not around for a few days. works excellent just as expected from tunze. easy to set up Easy to use and no need to worry about your tank By Hamad on 2/28/2015 Hamad would recommend this product to a friend It saved my time and i do not need to manualy add water. i used it for 200 gallon tank. Thanks BRS Super Product By RDM on 2/20/2015 RDM would recommend this product to a friend This was easy to setup and get working. I never realized how much I hated having to manually top off my water until I put this in my system. Now I just check my water levels and the fresh water supply and this takes care of adding water as and when it's needed. EASY and works great By Jeffrey on 2/15/2015 Jeffrey would recommend this product to a friend So far so good ! Have this set up on roughneck bin I'm using to cure my dry rock in. Works perfect and secondary safety offers great piece of mind. In the room one day when pump came on.. manually lifted float and audible alarm sounded and pump shut off. Very comforting to have a piece of equipment like this that is looking out for me ! If you are on the fence, JUST GET IT, you won't be disappointed. fantastic ATO By Hawrasser on 2/11/2015 Hawrasser would recommend this product to a friend this ATO is great. keeps the water level in my sump constant. the only thing i would change is to make the amount of travel on the floating switch a little bit larger. if i turn on my protein skimmer it will sound the alarm but my skimmer is also huge haha Hoping to get it working By Andrew on 1/16/2015 Andrew would recommend this product to a friend I have had this on an AIO tank (40 gallon) worked great the first week, now it keeps overfilling my tank( alarm going off) in the process of troubleshooting it with Tunze, hope i can get it to work correctly. I wish it worked right out of the box, but based on reviews the Tunze auto top off is suppose to be the best. I have owned other Tunze products before with no problems. Not bashing the auto top off but its not working out of the box. But Tunze customer service is great at helping. Great ATO! Never missed the target! By Alec on 1/15/2015 Alec would recommend this product to a friend I don't need to add anymore to those 200+ reviews but I put mine on a timer that only turned on once a day for 10 mins. That way it's not pumping all day long and will never over fill. Works Great By John B on 1/10/2015 John B would recommend this product to a friend Easy set up and I love the optical sensor. My old ATO float valve would often not register the water level depleting and I'd have to refill the sump manually. No issues so far and don't anticipate any. I did have to run the top off line into the tank overflow since my storage container is taller than the sump, but there was plenty of supply hose and I actually like it better. Best ATO ever By Seadog09 on 1/7/2015 Seadog09 would recommend this product to a friend The name alone represent quality so you know from start to finish that's what you'll get. I'm happy with my purchase and I know you will be too.. Works flawlessly. By DivingTheWorld on 1/5/2015 DivingTheWorld would recommend this product to a friend I've had this running for about 4 months now and it works flawlessly. It's really a set it and forget it product. The one quirky thing is that when it first turns on, it will pump water for a few seconds to purge the pump of any air. This is normal and not a but per say, but something to be aware of. I initially had this programmed on my Apex to only turn on a few times a day, but found that it was pumping too much water (due to the starting purge). So now I just leave it on 24 hours a day and it works fine.

A crisis can erupt at any time, in any form. A fire, explosion, medical epidemic, water leak, power outage, hurricane or bomb threat – the possibilities are infinite and unpredictable. Nonetheless, planning for the unpredictable does help. Crisis coordination centers, stockpiles of equipment and supplies, a communications plan, a program of practice scenarios – all developed in advance – enable communities to respond more quickly and efficiently when the unthinkable strikes.
Everyone hopes, of course, that a crisis plan will never have to be implemented, but wishful thinking will not help if a serious crisis arises. Most large organizations and municipalities develop and maintain a crisis plan, run mock scenarios and work to ensure that the entire community is informed.
All University employees and students should become familiar with UMass Lowell's Crisis Management Plan (pdf).

A bit of background
This emotional journey will revisit the stories of my Uncle Joe once again. I hope you will enjoy them, and think of your family as you read.
Joseph Henry Thompson (far left in top photo) was born in June 1925 in Birmingham, England. The eldest of 4 children, and brother of my father (dad being the youngest). I never knew him and my father hardly had the time before his tragic demise post-war at 22.
Joe 'joined up' to the RAF, along with thousands of other young men, in 1943 at the tender age of 18. He left his widowed Mother, my Nan and 3 siblings and left for training in December, to Regent's Park, London, which is where these letters begin.
Letter 4 – A bad week of theft and punishment
Letter transcript:
"Dear Mom and Kids,
Written in haste!
The sweetest things have happened to me the last two days! On Sat morning my drinking mug was bust on the way to breakfast. When I got back to Billets and came to look for my shaving brush (issue) it had disappeared.
On Sunday sometime after dinner my Knife, Fork, Spoon and the clip had also disappeared from a padlocked KitBag!
None of our room blokes were in during their spare time and of course I can't trace them.
I've got a reissue from the stores at a cost of 10/9! That leaves me with 2/4 in my pocket and 1/- of that will go on Tues, having a bath at the YMCA near here!
In other words, I'm in need of urgent financial support! So will you send when possible the other 10/- out of my draw please.
By the way, for 'losing' those articles I've got 5 hours cookhouse fatigues on Wednesday night! "This is the Air Force, Mr Jones!"
May get moved Friday.
Love Joe.
Joe's full story is beautiful and tragic. He was our family hero. He IS our family hero. If I knew how to complete an effective RAF salute, I would salute you now, Joe. Long may your memory live in our family stories.
I hope to post a new letter from Joe's correspondence with his Mother here every Friday until they're done. It will be a turbulent and heart-wrenching journey. Subscribe to the Blog to make sure you don't miss any of it.

Growing up, Lesley Brantley always had a love for math and children enough so that her parents expected her to grow up to be a teacher.
When Brantley attended Clemson University as an undergraduate, she started off as an engineering major. When she realized the major was not for her, she remembered her passion for math and children and switched her major, graduating with a degree in secondary education and mathematics.
Brantley is now 23 years old and in her second year teaching eighth grade math and Algebra I at Dubose Middle School. It is also her second year teaching in Dorchester District Two.
Brantley is not unfamiliar in the area; she grew up in Summerville and attended Summerville High School. She said it is her family that keeps her in her hometown.
My family is very important to me so Im very family-oriented, she said. Summerville is just the place to be.
Brantley said it is her calling to be a teacher and wants to help her students grow. She said she likes teaching middle school students because it is challenging.
Its a little harder to make those relationships, but thats what makes it fun, she said. You get to see them grow and mature and become different people, and thats the fun part.
Aside from teaching Brantley is a coach in Math Counts, which is a competition for students, and also helps with the Math Quest Team. She is also assisting with the schools eighth grade dance.
Brantley was recognized in 2013 as Duboses Rookie Teacher of the Year, as well as DD2s Rookie Teacher of the Year.
As far as her worst experience teaching goes, Brantley said some days are just harder than others and do not go as planned, particularly when she deals with a struggling student.
I cant think of one experience that has been horrible, she said. Some days you just hit a wall.
Her best experiences with teaching are when a student finally comprehends the content when they look at her and say I got it and even throws in a Mrs. Brantley, thank you.
When she is not at Dubose Brantley enjoys spending time with her husband Matthew, who is also her high school sweetheart. The couple has neither pets nor children but both have family in the area and enjoy seeing their family members. Brantley also likes to run and play soccer. She and her husband enjoy hanging out on their boat.
The Brantleys are also in the process of remodeling their house, which takes up a lot of their weekend time, she said.
Brantley said her life goal is to raise a family and to continue educating all the children she comes across for the future. On top of that her professional goal is to obtain her Masters in education or mathematics.
Teaching is harder than people think it is, only because I care so much about the kids and I want them to succeed, she said. Its hard but its rewarding.
I feel like there is always room for growth, she added. I want to be the best I can be for them.

Apple lays waste to Coca Cola, now the world's most valuable brand
There's a new king of the mountain when it comes to brand power, with Coca Cola being demoted for the first time in 13 years. The replacement; Apple, of course. According to the annual Interbrand Best Global Brands report:
The 2013 report begins: "Every so often, a company changes our lives, not just with its products, but with its ethos. This is why, following Coca-Cola's 13-year run at the top of Best Global Brands, Interbrand has a new No. 1 — Apple."
The top 100 is littered with top brands from the technology world, with Google at number 2, Microsoft number 5, Samsung number 8, and many more further down. A successful brand is a key aspect to a successful business, and no-one can deny the power of the Apple brand the world over. I mean, which other company gets thousands of people lining up outside its stores for the release of new products?

Apple lays waste to Coca Cola, now the world's most valuable brand
You stupid!!!!
Y u no English?
Coke isn't even #2 now.
I think it's more suiting that a company/brand such as Apple is at the top of such a list instead of a brand such as Coke... Coke does one thing - beverages. That's it. Apple, or any like brand, has so much greater potential to influence our lives in a number of ways than a fizzy soda can. Data consumption that [hopefully] enriches our day-to-day activities such as communicating and coordinating with others near and far, reminding ourselves of important tasks, entertaining ourselves with music, movies, and games... Of course, depending on who you are, a drink followed by a belch can be entertaining too.

It's an interesting dynamic considering Coke as a "brand" is one product, whereas Apple as a "brand" has many products. If you compared Coke by itself to iPhone, iPod, iPad, or Mac individually, I think you'd see something very different. The same as true if you compared all of Coca-Cola Co. to Apple.
Are you serious...Apple makes more products than Coca-cola? Here's a dose of reality.
They also own Vitamin water, which is not on that list.
No one beats coke. No one.

Now in the South they'll start asking you what kind of Apple you want instead of what kind of Coke you want for a soda.
Doesn't matter at all. Fine. But different companies in different sorts of markets selling products with different characteristics. It's interesting, Coca Cola is a ridiculously stable product. Obviously they have more products than just Coke (powerade, nestea, dasani, concentrates etc). But, Coca Cola has been around for over 100 years. Dare I say, people will be drinking Coke for another hundred years simply because it's relatively cheap and tastes good and it's global. Imagining a world where people stop liking Coke strikes me as about is likely as a world where people stop liking pizza. By contrast, the future is not that certain for any consumer electronics company. We're seeing Blackberry have issues, Microsoft though strong because of xbox and lots of windows users is vulnerable because the new windows 8 wasn't adopted at rates they wanted. NOT that Microsoft is in actual danger or going anywhere. But point is, for Apple, they don't exactly sell something that has such locked in customers. Coke is selling sugary water. Most people love sugar. It's not hard to hook people. So if Apple has half the stability as Coca Cola it will be great. But time will tell. Who knows what the future holds.

We should do a piece on the best docking solutions for Mac. I have a Thunderbolt display, so I probably don't need this, but I'm curious as to the pros/cons of the different docks at this point.
Peter, help! :)
Belkin announced Tuesday that it's shipping its Thunderbolt Express Dock, an expansion chassis for Thunderbolt-equipped Macs that provides a Gigabit Ethernet connection, FireWire 800 port, two Thunderbolt ports, three USB 3.0 ports and separate headphone and mic jacks.
Belkin's aiming the device at MacBook Air and Pro users with Thunderbolt-equipped systems who want to be able to quickly connect to and disconnect from peripherals at their desk.
Belkin isn't the first out of the gate with one of these gadgets and they won't be the last. Do you have a Thunderbolt-equipped Mac? If so, do these sorts of gadgets appeal to you?

I use the Thunderbolt too (bought one on your advice on twitter 8-) ) I love it and it works in just the way that I need it to. USB 3.0 is the only downside. I just have my rMBP in a TwelveSouth stand and use the USB sockets if and when I need them but truthfully, I use the Thunderbolt ports much more and it is demonstrably quicker.
I would love to go dual screen but I know that the next Apple Display form factor is going to be more like the current iMac and will run the risk of looking more than a little odd next to my current one. I may well then opt to get a 2nd Thunderbolt Display if I can match up the funds with a suitably reduced screen price.
This is good news, indeed! I know Matrox already has a Thunderbolt hub out, but I like this one, since it does not make you choose specifically between a certain type of monitor connection. I can't wait to order it.
Notice that there is still only ONE Thunderbolt port available for a peripheral. I need two as a video editor with a 2012 MacBook Pro, non-Retina. One for a large Display Port monitor and another for a capture card enclosure (I run media off of USB-3 drive). Only one capture card in the world has Thunderbolt pass-through daisy-chain capability and that's the AJA IO XT at $1500. All of the less expensive alternatives cannot. I finally bit the bullet for the AJA, but it would have been nice to see some kind of hub with TWO actual TB ports available. Why is this so difficult for the market to produce?
Great review. This appears to be a cool device, not sure I would use that much. Good to be aware it's out there.
This gizmo feels seriously overpriced to me. I'm right in their target demographic, with a 15" retina macbook and a 2nd monitor. Sometimes work at home and sometimes at the office. But 300 bucks for this thing? Not for me. For one thing, you lose one thunderbolt port in order to gain one thunderbolt port. And as someone else mentioned, no HDMI? I'll keep plugging and unplugging my monitor and external hard drive for now - ok, ok, and speakers, and printer on occasion - until someone makes something a bit more robust at about half this price.
We've all waited far too long for Thunderbolt accessories, and are charged far too much for rather lame choices. I get excited when I see posts like this one, but reading further than the headline always disappoints and other readers comments mirror my feelings.
We are the Thunderbolt leppers... outcasts... living in blind hope for a decent and affordable product that no one has even pre announced. I have the hump!

That's quite a price for an iPad cover.
CruxSKUNK iPad keyboard seeks Kickstarter funding, thinnest iPad keyboard yet
The CruxSKUNK keyboard for iPad has appeared on Kickstarter and is looking for backing to fund its development and eventual manufacture. Forget the name, as it doesn't do this iPad accessory any justice at all and take a look at this amazingly thin keyboard that could take typing on your iPad to the next level. The CruxSKUNK keyboard is only 6mm thick which is the thinnest keyboard available for any iPad. When you put the iPad into the keyboard case, the whole package is only 19mm thick which sounds very exciting.
The CruxSKUNK maintains the simplicity of the iPad while staying true to Apple's design aesthetic. It perfectly complements the style of the iPad. In fact, most of the people we've shown the CruxSKUNK to have mistaken it for a Macbook Pro. We of course take this as a compliment since we want to give our users an experience that is seamless between the iPad and the CruxSKUNK.
The CruxSKUNK features a full-sized QWERTY keyboard. The keyboard is raised above the plane of the surrounding aluminum—which makes it extremely easy to type on. In addition, you'll be typing on a full-sized keyboard with full-sized keys. You won't have to compromise on this keyboard since all of the keys are exactly where your fingers remember. Last but not least, we've added special function keys to the top for those functions you use most often.
The CruxSKUNK connects to the iPad through Bluetooth; so once the first pairing has been done, it will always connect automatically in the future. It is powered by an inbuilt rechargeable 350mAH battery which should only need to be recharged once a month. Another innovative feature is a 360 degree hinge which allows you to swivel the iPad into a tablet like form factor without having to remove it from the keyboard case.
If you like the idea of the CruxSKUNK, you can become an early adopter with a pledge of $135 or more to secure one should they make it into production. The CruxSKUNK currently has around $61,000 of pledges and it needs to hit over $90,000 to gain enough to be funded; it still has 38 days to go. As with all of these Kickstarter projects, just because a particular item reaches its funding total doesn't guarantee it will go into production so be careful with your money.
Do you like the look of the CruxSKUNK keyboard for iPad or does the name put you of a bit?

CruxSKUNK iPad keyboard seeks Kickstarter funding, thinnest iPad keyboard yet
It is pricey but it does more than you might think. I read earlier today "For a price of $155 US dollars you get a pretty good deal that includes a full-sized QWERTY keyboard with nice modern keys that are easy to type with, bluetooth connectivity and a hinge separating the two which lets users rotate the gadget a full 360 degrees. The Cruxskunk keyboard is also fully compatible with both the iPad 2 and iPad 3." taken from this article http://www.ibad.info/2012/09/28/cruxskunk-keyboard/ All in all, it's not a bad price. It's also really good quality made from the same type of single piece of aircraft grade aluminum, which is also what they made the Macbook Air out of.
MaZon's enthusiastic response summed up my reaction to your criticism, although not my reaction to the product.
If it's too pricey for you or not versatile enough for you, skip the iPad, but I'm kinda tired of people suggesting there's something wrong with wanting a slim, 3G- or 4G-connected, gps-enabled, well-powered, touchscreen, dual-camera'ed, device that can be a tv, ereader, movie player, radio, gaming, web-browsing, email, and production machine...that can optionally gain the form factor and keyboard convenience of a laptop.
I hate when I get to a kick starter and the lower priced optioned have all sold out. 135 says at cost and 155 says very close to cost, 20 bucks is a big difference. It's a nice keyboard, wish these were out when I paid 70 for that apple keyboard that doesn't connect to my ipad in any way. I don't even carry it anymore.
I looked at the Brydge, and was ready to order, but this one spoke to me.
I really like it, and hope it is all it appears to be.
The Brydge is also well over 200.00, but this one has the smooth design and finish that got my attention, Of course my wife will likely swipe it tghe first day I have it, so I may be in need of 2
From a simple design perspective I like 90% of this idea. The heel of the hand rests in the corners is a sweet touch, however the corner latches that hold the iPad in place look as if they could scratch it, it's also a pity they cant just have one. In my opinion the leather sleeve looks a bit half baked, that part needs further work, but it would be an easy fix.
A personal note: I have been using an ASUS Transformer TF300T as my daily driver for three months and find it a very effective solution. To begin with I would go back to the desk or laptop for many things, but that list keeps getting shorter. For Photoshop video editing or serious document bashing I need full applications, big screens and big drives, but a surprising number of tasks just don't require them.
Naturally a MacBook Air is a better fit for some users in need of greater mobility. But having an effective keyboard option for the iPad makes it almost as good for a lot of users most of the time. IMHO this idea has real potential. By allowing the hinge to flip the keyboard behind the pad users will keep it in the dock most of the time, After all taking it in and out often could be irritating.
This may not follow the Post PC world vision behind iPad, but it would extend the reach of a now powerful device. I wonder how they will handle the new dock connector issue?

Summerville used a balanced offensive attack to hand Beaufort its second loss of the season.
Sophomore quarterback Sawyer Bridges completed a pair of touchdown passes during the 17-0 win. The Green Wave also had a lot of success rushing the football as it improved to 6-2 on the season with a 2-0 mark in Region 8-AAAA. Beaufort fell to 6-2, 1-1.
Summerville is now the only team in the region without a region loss.
"We played well in spurts but I'm just glad to win the game because Beaufort is a good team," Summerville coach John McKissick said. "We gave our quarterback time to throw and he made some good passes. We were playing without one of our best offensive tackles but both our tailbacks ran the ball well tonight anyway."
Each team had three offensive opportunities in the opening quarter but failed to score. Beaufort came the closest when Brady Cormier missed a 41-yard field goal that deflected off the left goal post.
Summerville took advantage of the miss on its next possession, driving 80 yards to score. Senior tailback Jacerie Ponder had a 20-yard run on the drive and capped it with a 35-yard pass from Bridges for a 7-0 Green Wave lead with David Kennedy's extra-point kick.
The Eagles had two possessions in the second quarter but both were defended. Cormier missed another 41-yard field goal attempt wide right with just more than five minutes remaining in the half.
Summerville capitalized again, this time with a 45-yard field goal by Kennedy.
Beaufort's second possession ended with a punt from the Eagles' 46 and the Wave took a 10-0 lead into the half.
Bridges completed 4 of 8 passes in the first half for 96 yards and the TD. Ponder carried 15 times for 75 of Summerville's 130 first-half rushing yards.
Beaufort QB Ben Vaigneur completed one of seven pass attempts in the first half, a 26-yarder to tight end Stephen Baggett. The Eagles rushed for approximately 100 yards in the first half with Eric Blakely and Jeffrey Tookes combining for 17 carries.
Summerville added a 34-yard TD pass to Johnston McCurry in the second half and continued to keep the Eagles out of the end zone for the final two quarters.
Beaufort built some momentum with a long drive on its first possession of the second half, but then Summerville defensive back Chad Wood intercepted a pass to end the threat. Another Eagle drive spanned 70 yards late in third quarter but a fourth-down completion came up a yard short and the Wave took over on downs at its own 10.
"We didn't make big plays," Beaufort coach Mark Clifford said. "We played hard, but we didn't play good football. We had some breaks and some opportunities but we didn't make the most of them. Hats off to them. They have a good football team."
In the fourth quarter, Summerville defensive back Kevin Dickinson put a big fourth-down hit on Baggett to stop the tight end just short of a first down. Then Summerville chewed up the remaining seven minutes of clock time with a drive deep into Eagle territory.
Bridges finished with seven completions for 191 yards and the two scores. McCurry led the Green Wave receivers with three receptions for 87 yards and the TD. He also had 13 rushing yards.
As a team, the Wave rushed for 209 yards. Ponder led the way with 123 yards on 22 carries. He also had a 24-yard kickoff return.
Beaufort 0 0 0 0-0
Summerville 0 10 7 0-17
S - Jacerie Ponder 35 pass from Sawyer Bridges (David Kennedy kick)
S - Kennedy 45 field goal
S - Johnston McCurry 34 pass from Bridges (Kennedy)

Picture: Denzel Washington The Los Angeles premiere of 'Flight' held at ArcLight Cinemas Cinerama Dome - Arrivals Hollywood, California - 23.10.12
Denzel Washington took a massive pay cut to make sure his new movie Flight got off the ground.
The Oscar-winning actor plays a troubled pilot in the new drama and he was so desperate to get the film made, he took home a fraction of his usual multi-million dollar salary.
Washington reveals director Robert Zemeckis also took a huge pay cut as they struggled to land financing for the film.
He tells Deadline.com, "It was not a struggle to get it made, but the studio wanted to do it for a price, and we ended up with (about) $28 million, and Robert Zemeckis made it look like $100 million, especially the plane sequence. So he and I threw our money back in the pot, took a tenth of our salaries... It's a tenth of my salary. You do the math (sic)...
"Nowadays the studios are tightening their belts, and they knew it was a project we wanted to do. And I think they were smart, they said, 'Look, we don't want to spend more than, whatever it was, $28 million, $30 million.' And neither of us wanted to walk away from it, so we did it."
