After nearly 90 minutes of searching, a man who walked away from a Maryville nursing home was found safe. James Bassett, 89, left South Island Assisted Living at about 5:30 a.m. and a search involving Georgetown police and firefighters began within 20 minutes. A dog team from the Sheriff's Office had just arrived on the scene when authorities received word Bassett had been found at Thomas Cafe on Front Street. Police Capt. Nelson Brown says everyone was especially concerned because Bassett has dementia and a pacemaker.

Gorgeous and fun color. This color is extremely pigmented but can be sheered out with a balm underneath or with careful application. It does leaves a stain behind when it fades. I'd recommend anyone to try this type of shade out! It will make boring blah days into fun and bright! 😉

I didn't expect to like this lipstick so much when I decided to get it. It's creamy and went on easily and evenly. I did put a lip balm (Maybelline Baby Lips peppermint) underneath, as I always do. However, the balm doesn't sheer it out by much. I just really love how creamy and comfortable this wears. It's probably my first favorite out of the Vivids line. I would purchase again!

For its price, this is an outstanding lipstick. It delivers bright, nearly opaque coverage in a single swipe. I wouldn't necessarily compare its intensity to a lipstick like Morange, but it's defiantly enough brightness, pigment and intensity for the average consumer.
For me personally, I wanted it to be a little more opaque. My lip color shows through a little, but I have really pigmented lips. I suggest putting some lip erase, concealer or foundation underneath.
Fuchsia Flash is best described as a less intense version of MAC Candy Yum Yum, so if you're looking for a more wearable version of that, I'd recommend Fuchsia Flash. Still, this is an intense fuchsia lipstick that is incredibly opaque and buildable. For a light stain, I pat this gently on my lips, but one swipe delivers thick, fuchsia color. It's a great buy (under $10.00), but doesn't fit all skin types…such as mine, unfortunately.
Electric Orange is a budget-friendly version of many true-orange dupes in the higher end range (like MAC or Illamasqua). This is truly pigmented–one swipe delivers near opaque coverage. This isn't a super bright orange, but it's an intense orange, a bit on the warm side…so it doesn't work well with my skin color. This is a lipstick you'll either like or hate.

COLUMBIA CITY — A second arrest was made this week in connection with the explosion of a suspected meth lab in a rural Whitley County mobile home park that killed a woman in December of last year.
Joshua B. Angus, 25, of Fort Wayne was arrested and charged Monday with four counts stemming from the Dec. 3, 2010 explosion that killed 24-year-old Alecia Stine at Miami Village Trailer Park on Old Trail Road east of Columbia City.
A second man, Wade Burns, was charged in February.
Angus is charged with attempting to manufacture methamphetamine, a class B felony, reckless homicide, a class C felony, false informing, a class B misdemeanor and failure to appear, a class A misdemeanor.
Burns' charges were reckless homicide and attempt to manufacture.
According to a police report, a 911 call was received at around 1 a.m. on Dec. 3, 2010.
Police arriving at the scene were told that the smell of chemicals inside the mobile home at Miami Village's Lot 65 was overwhelming.
Firefighters from Union Township donned ventilation gear to clear the residence so officials could begin their investigation and so the body of Stine could be removed.
Whitley County Sheriff's Department Det. Sgt. Charles Vogely reported that testimony from witnesses and suspects led him in circles until he received what he determined was credible information from two men who were nearby and responded to the incident.
In addition, the police report indicates their actions possibly saved the lives of two children who were left inside the trailer after the explosion.
In interviews with Burns and Angus, Vogely learned that Stine had shut herself in the bathroom and was shaking a vodka bottle containing a mixture of various ingredients including pseudoephedrine.
Burns opened the door to the bathroom just seconds before the bottle Stine was shaking exploded. Burns told Vogely he was hit by flying glass and chemicals.
Burns and Angus both fled the scene, leaving two children in the trailer and Stine, who was suffering from what would become a fatal puncture wound to the neck.
Burns fled the trailer park and Angus ran to a nearby trailer where he told a neighbor and a friend of that neighbor what had happened, according to Vogely's report.
Those two men reportedly returned to the scene and removed the children. Stine was still alive when the men arrived.
The neighbor took the children to safety and the friend, who had avoided talking to Vogely for more than three weeks because of his own brushes with law in Noble County, returned to the scene.
He told Vogely that Stine asked him to get help. He told the detective he went to a nearby trailer and told a woman to call the police. He told the investigator he went back to his friend's house to check on the children and intended to return to the scene to check on the injured woman when he discovered the police had arrived.
Angus had initially told police he was not at the scene when the incident occurred, which prompted the charge of false reporting.

An Aiken County man pleaded guilty in Saluda County court to sexually assaulting a girl for more than 10 years, according to 11th Judicial Circuit Solicitor's Office.
Kendal Carol Sudduth, 36, of North Augusta, was sentenced to 15 years in prison after he plead guilty to second-degree sexual exploitation of a minor, third-degree sexual exploitation of a minor and contributing to the delinquency of a minor, according to Assistant Solicitor Suzanne Mays.
Circuit Judge Michael Baxley sentenced Sudduth to 10 years and five years, respectively, for the exploitation charges, which will be served consecutively and to three years for the delinquency of a minor charge.
Sudduth originally faced those charges, as well as criminal sexual conduct with a minor; however, the criminal sexual conduct charge was dropped in exchange for the plea, according to Mays.
Sudduth's plea came on the third day of his jury trial. Mays said the female victim, who was 7 years old when the abuse began, was a family member of Sudduth's.
She added that the abuse included showing the victim child pornography. Additionally, Sudduth was possessing and receiving child pornography from December 2006 through February 2007.
The child porn allegations were "encompassed" in the exploitation charges, Mays said.
Sudduth was living in Saluda at the time of the offenses and when he was arrested; however, after he was released on bond, he moved to North Augusta, Mays said.
Teddy Kulmala covers the crime beat for the Aiken Standard and has been with the newspaper since August 2012.
He is a native of Williston and majored in communication studies at Clemson University.

UFC 155: Controversial scorecards mar several fights throughout the card - Bloody Elbow
MMA judging is frequently ridiculed, scrutinized, and discussed among fans and commentators alike. Last night at UFC 155 in Las Vegas was exactly why judges in this sport get this kind of treatment. There were 8 decisions out of 12 fights and there were several scorecards ranging from iffy to downright horrible.
Here are the questionable scorecards from last night's event:
Adelaide Byrd - 30-27 for Melvin Guillard over Jamie Varner. This one was the worst of the night. Just the fact that she seriously scored the 3rd round for Guillard when he was soundly outwrestled by Varner is absurd. I scored it 29-28 Varner and gave Guillard the 2nd round, but it seemed generally clear-cut to MMA media that Varner had won. I've made it no secret that I believe Byrd is incompetent in both boxing and MMA, and in MMA she has not only scored this fight for Guillard, but also gave Leonard Garcia the first fight over Nam Phan and a 30-27 for Carlos Eduardo Rocha against Jake Ellenberger. Joe Rogan may have been hyperbolic in saying "the person who scored 30-27 Guillard should never judge again", but ... it's not far from the truth. These are three EGREGIOUSLY bad cards I've listed and last night's was the icing on the cake.
Cecil Peoples and Marco Rosales - 29-28 for Max Holloway over Leonard Garcia. Yeah, I'd never thought I'd type that out. While I don't buy that this was an outright "robbery", I certainly gave the fight to Garcia based on the 2nd and 3rd rounds. While Garcia was certainly tagging Holloway with wild haymakers he was also doing his usual windmill impression and getting countered multiple times by Max. Garcia also scored a couple of takedowns cumulatively in the final 2 rounds that could've swung the fight Leonard's way. Round 1 was easily a Holloway round particularly with the early knockdown. Seven of 10 major MMA media scorecards scored it 29-28 for Garcia, our own Dallas Winston scored a draw, and 2 others had it for Holloway. FightMetric doesn't have round-by-round stats yet (they likely won't know how many punches Leonard Garcia threw until mid-July) but from what i recall from the FX broadcast, Garcia outlanded Holloway in significant strikes.
Marcos Rosales - 50-45 Cain Velasquez over Junior dos Santos. Obviously dos Santos didn't win the fight, but Cain Velasquez thoroughly pasted JDS in the first two rounds and Rosales didn't conjure up a 10-8. If these were the judges from the FOX show in Seattle Cain might have won 50-10. As a fervent supporter of 10-8s, dos Santos was providing little resistance to Cain's relentless pressure and in the 1st round he was just about knocked out following a ferocious right hand from Velasquez. Dominating rounds should be rewarded as such. Another example would be GSP vs. Dan Hardy, a fight where Hardy provided no offense for the entire fight yet one judge (Cardo Urso) gave no 10-8s to GSP like the other two judges did.
Mark Smith - 29-28 for Brad Pickett over Eddie Wineland. This is an atrocious score. Presumably he gave Pickett rounds 2 and 3 because Pickett was knocked down multiple times in round 1. Statistically Wineland landed more significant strikes (24-19 in round 2, and 38-29 in round 3). While Pickett had improved from his early troubles, Wineland was clearly the more active and powerful puncher. According to MMA Decisions, not a single major media member gave the fight to Pickett. I'm baffled that we had two fights with 30-27 scorelines for the rightful winner yet a split decision in both.

Vermont company in a sticky situation?By Taylor Reed
The Caledonian-Record | February 09,2013ST. JOHNSBURY Canadian officials have linked Maple Grove Farms of Vermont to a case in which $20 million of maple syrup was stolen in Quebec.
The company denies any wrongdoing.
Mark Bigelow, a Maple Grove manager in St. Johnsbury, declined to comment Thursday afternoon. A statement released later by the company notes, Maple Grove Farms purchased the maple syrup in good faith with no reason to believe that it was coming from Quebec or that it may have been stolen.
The case now implicating Maple Grove, a major regional company, which bills itself as the largest distributor of maple syrup in the United States and the worlds leading maple-candy producer, involves siphoning the equivalent of 10,000 barrels of syrup from a warehouse controlled by the Federation of Quebec Maple Syrup Producers in Quebec. The value of the stolen syrup has been set at $20 million.
The federation has been compared to an OPEC-like cartel that distributes up to 78 percent of the worlds syrup, influences market prices by withholding supply, and maintains a strategic syrup reserve likened to the United States strategic oil reserve.
The Gazette in Montreal reported that Maple Grove was caught with 12 tanker truck loads of maple syrup that came from the syrup stolen from the warehouse in Saint-Louis-de-Blandford, Quebec.
The newspaper report stated that Maple Grove was visited in October by Vermont and Canadian police in the investigation connecting the company to the stolen syrup. The significance of the heist has given birth to the moniker The Great Maple Syrup Theft Caper.
The French newspaper Le Soleil reported Wednesday that the amount of syrup that could be transported in 12 tractor-trailer loads would be about 700,000 pounds. If Maple Grove purchased that amount it would equal about 15 percent of the total amount of stolen syrup.
Chief Clem Houde of the St. Johnsbury Police Department, which covers the area in the village where Maple Grove is located, said his officers were not involved in the investigation. Lt. Michael Henry of the Vermont State Police also said his troopers were not involved.
According to a petition filed before the Board of Agriculture and Food Marketing of Quebec, a Maple Grove representative confirmed the company purchased syrup from heist kingpin Richard Vallieres last summer at a cost substantially below normal rates set by the syrup federation. Media reports say Vallieres is a well-known buyer of illegal maple syrup.
Maple Grove denies the purchase was at a greatly reduced cost. Press reports that the prices paid for the maple syrup were substantially below normal rates are inaccurate. The prices paid were consistent with normal commercial prices for maple syrup purchased from sources outside of Quebec.
Canadian authorities have made more than 18 arrests in the case, including Vallieres. Maple Grove for its alleged part could face fines and trade sanctions.
The Agriculture and Food Marketing Board of Quebec frowns on the purchase of syrup from unauthorized dealers, and was scheduled to rule on Maple Groves breach of procedure this week. However, the matter was postponed to allow criminal charges to be laid in the matter, according to Canadian media reports.
The maple syrup theft was discovered in July 2012 by an accountant sent to assess inventory at the Saint-Louis-de-Blandford warehouse. The warehouse is located about 100 miles northeast of Montreal.
Maple Grove Farms was founded in 1915. It is headquartered on Portland Street in St. Johnsbury, but also maintains a branch in Saint-Evariste-de-Forsyth, Quebec.
The company concluded its statement by noting, Maple Grove Farms is committed to providing quality products and observing high ethical standards in the conduct of our business. Maple Grove Farms is fully cooperating with the investigation being conducted by the authorities, including the Quebec Police.MORE IN Vermont NewsBURLINGTON The Vermont Health Department has put out a warning about the wild parsnip, a common...

"I've owned 7 of these bats in the past 2 years, but that being said I'm 17 and facing 87-94 mph fast balls and I play travel ball, varsity school ball and hit every day 12 months out of the year.. I hit with these bats every day before a game or during games. They are very light, balanced, and good for fast hand whip hitters. The durability isn't all that amazing but for the price I haven't owned a better bat. Performance wise the ball jumps off the bat and has an amazing sound every time you hit a ball. Taping the barrel does improve longevity of the bat for practice purposes. I love these bats and won't find a better one for the price."

"I ordered this bat directly from Rawlings hoping it would be a good bat. after the first ball I hit it cracked. I hit the ball right on the sweet spot where the grain is the tightest. I'm 5'8" 160 lbs batting against ~60mph pitchers the bat should not have broken if it were quality. I would not recommend buying this bat"

Scalia, Ginsburg Offer Amendments to the Constitution
What's being said
When Justice Scalia claims that questions never come to the SCOTUS in any variant form other than a concrete case he fails to mention that it is by choice this is done this way and that the monetary court and attorney system the U.S, is fond of using since the beginning of time is that which is requiring of dirty money. To get an audience on front of the SCOTUS one must shell out big bucks. In a perfect society Legal Aid (not just in small matters but SCOTUS level cases) would not cost - IT WOULD BE PROVIDED. I think the whole thing wreaks of Bullshit.
On the contrary, Mr. Scalia, America has never been more in need of an Article V Convention.
There is rare beauty on our Supreme Court, as exemplified by Justices Ginsburg and Scalia, when despite disagreements they render to each other personal respect of the highest order.
The Article III branch of government is the one which works best. It is also the one that best honors Lincoln's promise of a government "of, by and for" the people.
Without the Court being respectful, the rule of law could not be a calling and nuances would be unwelcome.
Dated: 4/19/14
Ravi Batra
I'd like to see the ratified Congressional Apportionment Amendment from the Bill of Rights promulgated to Congress.
I stand for this in the November 2014 election. ScottNeumanforCongress.com
"That amendment, she added, 'means that women are people of equal stature before the law.'"
No, Justice Ginsburg, the amendment read, "Equality before the law...", not equal rights or equal stature, but "equality." When the amendment appeared on the ballot in Massachusetts in the late 1970s, my immediate reaction was that "equality" would have been construed by courts to mean "equanimity of result", not equal application of the law to any particular set of facts. If a then 20 year old could make that judgment, it is inconceivable that a Justice of the Supreme Court, particularly given your political predisposition, could or would not make the same judgment.
Can it. The ERA died because enough Americans came to the same conclusion that I did, even when the amendment was given an unconstitutional extension to the ratification period.
"The failure of the push to add the equal rights amendment, Ginsburg noted, was an example of how difficult the amending process is. That amendment, she added, "means that women are people of equal stature before the law. I think we have achieved that through legislation but legislation can be repealed, altered."
An easier fix would be to deport then shoot (or shoot then deport) those who REFUSE to give women equal stature before the law .
For those who NEGLECT to give women equal stature before the law , deport ☺

Votes show NC tax overhaul will soon become law
It's all but set that a tax overhaul deal reached by Republican Gov. Pat McCrory and legislative leaders will soon become North Carolina law.
The House and Senate scheduled one more required vote on the package Wednesday before it goes to McCrory's desk for his signature. Individual and corporate income tax rates would be reduced and the sales tax tinkered with to cover a few more transactions.
Republicans giving tentative approval to the bill Tuesday say it will put more money into people's wallets and give North Carolina an advantage in business recruiting. But Democrats contend wealthy taxpayers will benefit the most at the expense of everyone else.
The governor's office scheduled a signing ceremony at the old Capitol building late Wednesday afternoon, but didn't say for what legislation.

Last Saturday, Millikin hosted its first night football game in 86 years as a result of renovations to Frank M. Lindsay Field made possible by donations to the "Transform MU" capital campaign! The game with Aurora College kicked off at 6 p.m., and a rededication ceremony was held prior to the game, recognizing the donors whose gifts funded the significant renovations and additions to the field.
Cost for the project was $1.75 million, which financed the new artificial turf playing surface, installation of field lighting and track resurfacing. A new video scoreboard and sound system were also added, both financed by advertising dollars.
"The new turf, lights, resurfaced track and scoreboard are a major step forward for Millikin Athletics," said Director of Athletics and Recreation Dr. Craig White. "It is the stated mission of Millikin Athletics to create great experiences for student-athletes. These improvements will help us achieve this goal."
Come check out the new field at the Homecoming game next Saturday, Oct. 11, vs. Illinois Wesleyan at 1 p.m.
Watch a clip of the Big Blue practicing for their first home game on the new turf!

Hometowns: Ryan: Oreana, Ill. Amy: Springfield, Ill.
Millikin majors:Ryan: Computer Science Amy: Interdepartmental Psychology, Sociology and Communication
When, where, and how did you first meet at Millikin?Ryan: We first met at a friend's place in The Woods. My reason for going to the apartment was to meet a high school friend who was in town with a college buddy visiting his girlfriend. His girlfriend happened to be friends with Amy. That night was a lot of fun and I didn't want it to end. Despite the sparks between us, Amy thought I was a little young for her since she was a sophomore and I was only a freshman.Amy: Our first official meeting was at a mutual friend's apartment in The Woods. We immediately connected and enjoyed a great conversation all evening. I do remember seeing him randomly throughout campus walking to classes and seeing him at football practice while I was at swim practice, but that was before we officially met.
What do you remember about the first time meeting each other?Ryan: There was an instant connection. We couldn't stop smiling and conversation felt so natural. The night was amazing but once Amy found out I was a freshman, she didn't pursue anything until later. Amy: I remember how cute he was! His smile is to die for and we just clicked. Although this is not true, I know Ryan will bring it up: He claims that once he told me that he was a freshman, I quit talking to him since I was a sophomore. For the record, that is not true!
What did you do on your first date?Ryan: Watched the movie, "Coach Carter" at Amy's apartment and had a home-cooked meal. Nothing fancy, but we definitely enjoyed the time together.Amy: We watched a movie at my apartment in The Woods. We enjoyed an evening of cooking a homemade dinner and good conversation. I had a swim meet the next day and I remember him calling to wish me luck.
Where was your favorite place to hang-out together at Millikin?Ryan: There wasn't any one spot, but you could probably find us strolling around campus in between classes and practice.Amy: There wasn't any one spot, but you could probably find us strolling around campus in between classes and practice.
What is your most memorable Millikin experience as a couple?Ryan: Definitely the night I asked Amy to marry me. We were downtown following a dinner when I asked her. She said "yes," and we headed back to campus to celebrate with friends. I wouldn't have done it any differently. I wanted it to be somewhere we could always go back to and remind us of the great memories we had while at Millikin. Amy: Our time at Millikin was something to cherish. It seems like yesterday that we were roaming the campus headed to class or a practice while holding hands and loving life. Every one of our classmates was so friendly and inviting that we really felt like Millikin was a family. No one certain time stands out as the most memorable because all of our memories are positive. If I had to choose, I'd pick the night Ryan proposed and asked me to be his wife!
Where has your relationship taken you since Millikin?Ryan: We have been married for a little over five years. Amy has since earned her master's in social work and now a bachelor's in nursing. She is doing amazing work at Springfield Clinic for a great cardiologist. I have been at Horace Mann Insurance for five years working in IT to help provide lifelong financial well-being for educators and their families. The highlight so far was welcoming our baby boy into the world June 11, 2014.Amy: Shortly after Ryan graduated in 2009, we got married and he moved to Springfield. Since then, we have enjoyed establishing our careers — Ryan is a software engineer at Horace Mann Insurance, and I'm a registered nurse at Springfield Clinic. We bought our first home in 2013 and welcomed an absolutely beautiful baby boy, August Dean Peifer, on June 11, 2014.
What advice would you give young couples in love at Millikin?Ryan and Amy: Cherish every moment! Before you know it, you'll have your full-time careers, will be married, and possibly have children on the way. Take the time to really get to know each other and spend quality time together before life picks up quickly and it's not as easy to just hang out. Take walks, have water fights, cook dinners, go to LSB, have that margarita at Mi Pueb. Be spontaneous! Travel. Hang out with friends. Get to know each other's families. Most of all, don't forget about your studies, because having a solid career will make your life more enjoyable and make your love stronger. Good luck!

Years before Coosaw Creek ruled the pool Kings Grant had its own swimming powerhouse.
The Crocodiles' swim team claimed its third consecutive Coastal Carolina Swim Association championship last week but Coosaw Creek isn't the only Summerville-area team to have pulled off the three-peat. In the summer of 1978 the Kings Grant swim team claimed its third consecutive championship for the Coastal Carolina Novice Swim League, which eventually became the Coastal Carolina Swim Association.
Kings Grant went on to win the next two championships but the third of the titles will always be special to Dickie Miler, who as the head coach of the team had the honor of taking home the Bernstein-Ector Trophy that summer.
"The early power houses in the league were the Charleston Naval Base, James Island Swim Team, Snee Farm, Northbridge Terrace and Kings Gant-Summerville," Miler said. "These teams battled it out each year for the city championship with great parity of competition so in an attempt to reward and honor the seemingly impossible feat of being the first to win three consecutive city championships the league decided to retire the trophy. I'm proud to have that trophy on my mantle and to have been a part of the first dominate juggernaut of the league."
Of course Snee Farm still has ultimate bragging rights for the league, having won 22 consecutive championships before Coosaw Creek began its run.
Watching all the teams compete at last week's City Meet, Miler couldn't help but reminisce and think about the evolution of the league.
"I found myself reflecting back on the amazing success of this league that was birthed out of the hearts of several dedicated parents, community leaders and passionate folks who wanted to introduce competitive swimming and health recreation to a new generation of children," he said. "There was a real energy and cavalier spirit in those earlier days that yielded a strong and wide footprint to build on."
Swimming activists from across the greater Charleston area came together to build the league, which has now grown to include 23 teams and more than 2,700 swimmers. Summerville activists who helped found and develop the league included Lola Jones, Rosemary Sutton, Louise Button, Peach Boswell, Barbara Blanton and Sandra Salmon.
Miler says competitive swimming in the area really took off after the 1955 opening of the Danny Jones Recreational Center off North Charleston's Park Circle. The center featured a 55-yard pool with eight lanes and both one-meter and three-meter diving boards, making it ideal for large swimming and diving competitions.
"It was the Mecca of pools in the Lowcountry," Miler said.
By the 1960's the Charleston YMCA opened two indoor pools that attracted teams and led to year-round swimming programs.
But Summerville swimmers either had to carpool to nicer facilities or make do with what they had, which was mainly three pools that each had limitations. The pool off Bacon's Bridge Road was spring fed so it featured a gradual incline at one end rather than a wall. The pool off West Carolina Avenue was tiny. The pool at Summerville Country Club was oblong so six lanes at one end funneled into four lanes at the other.
"The Old Curve Inn pool probably had the coldest water in the south," Miler said. "Because of the incline coaches' instructions were simple, keep swimming until your hand starts to drag along the bottom, stand up and turn around. The old Carolina Inn pool was the smallest practice pool in America. After a dive and two strokes you would crash into the wall. But we developed the best turns of any team. The George Miler Country Club pool was great … but without lanes to keep us in order we constantly crashed into each other in the deep end. The trick was to push of the wall and come back under the water, and the other bodies, as far as you could."
Fortunately Summerville teams had talented swimmers and dedicated coaches so despite the lack of their own state of the art practice facility they were able to have success.
The list of Summerville-area swimmers who left their mark on the summer league over the years is quite lengthy. For Miler, ones who come to mind include Trenholm Walker, James Chellis, Eric Swingert, Scott Simon, John Wactor, Lucia Miler, Chene Moore and John Boyle.
"They were all great swimmers, great people and great advocates for the sport," Miler said. "However, if you check all the old record books there was only one swimmer who never lost a race in his entire swimming career and set more meet records than any other two swimming legends combined – John "the rock" Boyle."
Boyle swam for Kings Grant.
One of Summerville's early coaching pioneers was Lola Jones.
"Her coaching tactics and motivational skills were beyond comparison," Miler said. "Almost like a wise seer, Coach Lola knew exactly the right words to say to extract every ounce of one's ability. She feverishly paced the pool deck during each race encouraging her steeds to propel themselves to victory."

August 5, 2015
COLLEGE STATION, Feb. 25, 2013 – Reid Joseph, a junior industrial distribution major from Tontitown, Ark., has been elected student body president for Texas A&M University. Joseph will officially take office in April for a one-year term in leading the university's 50,000-member student body—one of the largest in the nation.
A member of the Corps of Cadets and a third-generation Aggie, Joseph has been involved in the Student Government Association (SGA) since his freshman year. Also, he has served on the Texas A&M Traditions Council and the Muster Committee, which plans the university's annual April 21 remembrance of Aggies who died during the past year. Additionally, he was selected as a member in the Corps of Cadets' prestigious Ross Volunteer Company and he serves as academic chair for Squadron 17. In his freshman year, he was named "Most Outstanding Fish" in the corps.
Also, Joseph was named one of the Texas A&M Foundation's "Maroon Coats," a honor that involves enhancing the impact of the Texas A&M Foundation by acting as hosts at events and by providing ambassadorship, stewardship and selfless service.
During a campaign debate, Joseph said student government must make sure to heed the concerns of students. "We take the concerns of the student body and bring them to administration," Joseph said.
He said providing support for students who are veterans will be a priority.
"We are very excited about all our veteran relations in the upcoming year," Joseph said.

Got "Fetch"? POP/IMAP Email Broken in iPhone 2.1?
As opposed to "push" style ActiveSynch, MobileMe, or Yahoo! iPhone mail, traditional POP or IMAP accounts, like Gmail or ISP mail, needs to "fetch", or check the server on a certain schedule to see if there are new messages.
Reader Mike wrote in pointing us to a thread on the Apple Discussion Forums about "fetch" email being broken with iPhone 2.1. I only fetch mail from Gmail, and Gmail IMAP is a strange and buggy implementation which gives me considerable problems beyond the iPhone, so I can't say whether anything is really broken or not in 2.1.
Reader Steffen, however, after thinking the problem could just be undocumented IMAP IDLE behavior, decided to run some tests:
Finally, I had some time to look into this thorougly. I dumped IP traffic all night to see what iPhone does. My iPhone is set to retrieve data every hour. Here's when the iPhone actually connected to my IMAP server:
Looks like everything but an hour to me... Oh yeah, forgot to mention... I've turned off everything except for GSM radio do be sure to get all traffic. The last three connections occurred when I started to play around with the iPhone this morning. So, the effect that lead me to the assumption of IMAP-IDLE on the iPhone seems to be something else. It appears that the iPhone will contact IMAP more often while using it and somehow random while idling... So, no IMAP at this time, but maybe interesting as well...
Definitely interesting! Thanks Steffen!
Any other readers out there got "fetch" problems? Wacky behavior? Please let us know!

Got "Fetch"? POP/IMAP Email Broken in iPhone 2.1?
I have had problems with mail since I got the iPhone. Sometimes it doesn't want to connect.
My question is this:
Sometimes I download the mail to Outlook then if I try to open it on the phone says "This message has been downloaded from the server". If it knows this then why doesn't it clear it off my phone so I don't have to?
My BB would clear them off, not as fast as I would like, but it would.
Lots of the complaints seem to be about Gmail. I should note again, Gmail gives me problems on my laptop, desktop (OS X), and right now the guy working next to me on Ubuntu is getting locked out... Might be problems on both ends, so to isolate the apple issues, anyone getting this with non-Gmail "fetch'?
iPhone fetch worked fine before 2.1 - after 2.1 I rarely get my email unless I open the mail application... or, randomly, as Steffen suggests. Sometimes just using other apps on the phone will make it check my mail. But it's definately NOT doing it every 30mins as programmed. Sometimes I can go more than 6 hours without it checking for new mail.
It's this kind of unreliability that led me to abandon my Windows Mobile PDA phone and buy an iPhone. I don't feel like I'm much better off lately on the iPhone. I'm glad I switched for other reasons, but I've been very dissappointed in Apple, and this is my first experience buying one of their products.
I have received this error message before, about 3 times in the last 2 months. i have the latest and greatest updates, I think i have gotten this message with all the firmware updates. i have actually had many problems with gmail on my mail.app. i have 4 gmail accounts (2 @gmail.com accounts and 2 domain accts).
I have my gmail acount configured for imap.
I've also noticed that my connections are a bit random although configured for hourly, but i think i've found a "pattern".
It seems that there is no e-mail fetch if the iphone is idle. From my log files, there seems to be an access to the imap server every time I interact with the iphone after a long idle.
It doesn't access at all when i'm asleep, but as soon as i wake up and disable the alarm it accesses the e-mail (i thought it was wierd to hear the "you got e-mail" alarm everytime i wake up.)
Anyone having a "déjà vu" feeling about this?
Someone asked if this was happening outside of gmail... I've been having problems with getting my outlook emails since I got this phone a couple weeks ago. First of all it took forever to input my account information correctly (it would say "verifying pop info" indefinitely), and since then email retrieval has been very on and off.. some days they all come through, some days none. I actually got a gmail account becuase I thought it would be better supported be the iphone, but lately my gmail has stopped retrieving email from outlook server for some reason.... what a mess
Even worse than scheduled fetching failing, my iPhone won't even collect from POP or IMAP servers manually.
The server settings are definitely correct. tailing the server logs I can see, for example, that the iphone is initiating an imap(s) connection, but then nothing. I tried with and without SSL. On the iPhone itself it just says it's checking for messages and sits there until I force quit the mail app.
I purchased my iPhone 3G this weekend and it had 2.1 on so can't comment on previous firmware but something is definitely broken.
Unusable POP/IMAP is a deal breaker for me. If only Apple would state if they're aware of this, and if a fix is scheduled for the 2.2 firmware. Knowing my luck the release date will be after I can no longer return my phone and still won't fix the issue.
Are you kidding??? Apple denies everything, admits nothing, and makes counter-accusations. They won't even acknowledge that we should be able to change our own email alert tones. What makes you think they acknowledge new problem created by their "update"???
I can only speculate that they are introducing such problems intentionally. I can't imagine why, but the reaches of the glaring incompetence of their programmers along with their deafening silence on the problems makes the mind boggle.
Here's the scoop:
Apple decided it was better to preserve iPhone battery charge by checking mail only when a user wakes the iPhone up or a "network event" wakes it up (e.g. changing cells towers).
There is a known bug in Apple's POP3 Fetch where the iPhone doesn't close the POP3 session properly on the mail server. This leaves the session open until the server session times out. POP3 does not allow more than one session, so until it times out the iPhone (or any desktop or laptop client trying to access the same mailbox) cannot connect to that same mailbox.
Why can't apple just fix this Fetch problem... I'm about ready to go back to my trusty Blackberry, in which I always, always, always got me email... Even before they showed up on my computer when I sitting in front of it. I already know the battery life sucks, but I want the email. It seems even after 2 days of this new iphone 2.2 update, I still don't get email, unless I hit refresh - then presto emails that are hours old...
I had the same problem. I ran the 2.2 upgrade last night. No more mail fetching problems. None.
I have the same problem, I havent received emails for about 4 days? wont connect to server is one message but i checked my settings and noticed that the server options for my yahoo account were all turned off and also other email accounts so i turned them on
i'm not sure yet if this works??? not sure if i shouldve turned them on or not
any help will be appreciated.
I just got my IPhone at the end of January, and I HATE IT. I used to get my e-mail, now it tells me "cannot get mail. The connection to the server "pop3" failed" Does anybody know how to fix this. I have my fetch set at 15 minutes.
Another unrelated question. Does anybody know how to reply to tweets with this phone?
I never had a problem with my Blackberry.

...even if the carry handle is removed? I would think that for bench or prone shooting(with a bi pod) that mounting a scope on this would be inefficient and too high to be comfortable?
BUT if one removes the handle and mounts a high power directly to the upper receiver, THEN the large front sight post would be an issue, right?

HAZARD – The trial of a Knott County man accused of murder remains scheduled for later this month after attorneys were unable to reach a plea agreement this week.
Donald Combs, 35, has been lodged in the Kentucky River Regional Jail in Hazard since May 2012, after he was alleged to have driven a vehicle over in embankment in the Lost Creek community of Perry County. Combs, of Fisty, was under the influence at the time of the crash, police said, which resulted in the death of a passenger in the vehicle, 51-year-old Burly R. Combs, also of Fisty.
Donald Combs was indicted in July 2012 on charges of murder, leaving the scene of an accident, driving under the influence second offense, and driving on a DUI suspended license. He has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
A pretrial conference was held in the case on Feb. 27, at which time attorneys could not come to an agreement on a new plea. Combs remains set for a jury trial in Perry Circuit Court on March 25, and will appear in court again for a status conference on March 21.
