It's raining with features in the experimental version of Blogger, available at http://draft.blogger.com. To try these new features, it's a good idea to visit Draft Blogger and temporarily enable "Make Blogger in Draft my default dashboard" at the top of the page.
Probably the most important new feature is the inline commenting system, that lets you post comments without opening a new page. This year, I tried using a pop-up window for the comment form, but it's still inconvenient to post comments. The new option, which can be added in the Draft Blogger by going to Settings > Comments > Comment Form Placement, uses an iframe to display a textarea and a list of authentication options:

I added the inline comment form to the template, so you can try it. For now, you can't preview the comment before posting it and I haven't figured out how to add the option to delete your comment.
Another extremely useful new feature lets you import and export your posts and comments. "Now you can export all of your posts and comments into a single, Atom-formatted XML file for easy backup. You can then import the posts back into Blogger, either into an existing blog or into a new one." The option is available in the Draft Blogger by going to Settings > Basic. Please note that the exported XML file can be quite large: for example, this blog's entire archive has 10.2 MB.
Blogger has a new post editor that borrows a lot of new tricks from Google Page Creator. You can move the images inside a post and dynamically choose between different sizes of the image. The new editor is smart enough to no longer replace newlines with
 tags when you add tables, lists, styles, scripts and objects. There's also an improved preview option that uses your template to style your content. Unfortunately, the new editor lacks many features currently available: auto-save, spell checking, video upload and the toolbar for editing HTML.
Blogs that use the new layouts can add star ratings to get feedback from readers, but I'm not sure if this is a useful feature. There's also an option that integrates Blogger with Google Webmaster Central: you can automatically add all your Blogger blogs with a single click.
This is one of the biggest updates to Blogger and many of the new features are long overdue. If everything goes well, all these features will soon be available in the standard Blogger interface.

Update (Oct.25/07): Updated satellite imagery for affected areas of Southern California are now linked from this post on the Google Lat Long Blog.
As calls for evacuations in California continue 2 media outlets are using Google Maps to help local residents or those already evacuated to track the spread of the wildfires:
LATimes.com uses Google My Maps to create wildfire tracking map:
This Google Map created by the team at the LATimes.com can be found by linking off from the "Interactive Google map" link found on the front page of the site (as of 23-Oct/07). This spawns a Google Maps view of a frequently updated map of wildfires in Southern California. Click the map markers to reveal a great deal of information which includes: Location, Acres burned, Containment %, Structures Destroyed/Damaged, Injuries, When it Started, Possible cause, Point of origin, Firefighters deployed and finally.. the number of Evacuations. This is impressive data all mapped to help those keep track of loved ones or their own homes and properties.
KPBS San Diego helping local residents with Google My Map:
KPBS San Diego is also providing a service to the community by helping residents stay current on very specific information for the San Diego area. A Google My Map has been set up and linked from the KPBS front page to help people stay current with the wildfire situation there. KPBS in addition to offering radio reports has set up a Twitter page that will provide text updates immediately for San Diego residents:

Yakkety Yak: Tibetan Salty Butter Tea
Yak byproducts may not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think about a warming cup of tea: but then again, it's possible you're not reading Serious Eats from Tibet. The traditional blend of black tea, milk and salty yak butter, known as Po Cha, is as ubiquitous in the Himalayan regions as...well, as the yak itself. (And before we offend any yaks, we refer of course to the butter of his better half, the female, known as the "nak".) More

Deer and everything about them fittingly dominate the month of Thanksgiving. We are certainly blessed and give thanks for their widespread distribution and fairly healthy status in just about every corner of the West Virginia.
However, we can surely do without the major misfortune of colliding with them in our vehicles. That's especially true since we're the most likely state for just that to happen. Their peak mating activities and being chased around by hunters makes November a prime month for deer collisions. And yes, we even see several older antlered males that met their maker in that fashion as they were likely scent-trailing seasonable females.
The tempestuous and hormone bolstered seasonal mating peak or "rut" lasts only a few days to weeks of mid to late November in these parts with exceptions, of course. This age old mating ritual is geared toward a likewise peak birthing or swarm attack of newborn fawns roughly seven months later. Predators can only take so many under those circumstances and the vast majority make it through that gauntlet of tooth and claw. In addition, the late May-early June birthing period gives the fawns just enough time to wean, grow a nice hairy coat, then meet the next major challenge, winter.
Just like rabbits and other prey species, they're lives are "beset by adversity," to quote one old time wildlife professional. Just jib-jab you say? Then imagine yourself as a fawn to young of the year graduate just out of your spotted coat. You're barely five months old and being shunned by this doe, your mother, as you try to nurse the last drops of milk in advance of this frightening, low-pressure sensation of a freak weather phenomenon, the Frankenstorm.
Wasn't late October supposed to be for the warmer Indian summer? A few days later, you're neck deep in this heavy wet white stuff, snow. You're cold, hungry and 30 to 50 inches deep in a blanket of it at the Mountain State highlands. Poor things had never even seen such fluffy, white stuff 'til that monster storm arrived.
But the ground of late October is fairly warm and after a few days, the snow is melting and the bigger deer begin to plod through it, breaking some trails for other deer to follow. Though you had been feeding on succulent grasses before the storm, that food source is now dormant and buried. But low and behold, the ruthless storm portrays a merciful side. It has knocked down, broken or bent limbs, shrubs and trees by the billions. The evidence of it is here, there and everywhere.
At the end of all those billions of tree and shrub limbs are trillions of twig ends or snippets of current year's growth of maples, oaks and other edible species. Such twig ends or "browse" are also high up on the normal winter menu of whitetails and many are near enough by that they don't have to expend more energy in getting to them than they get from eating them!
And just when the snow was all but melted, the victuals were good and things were starting to warm up a bit and get back to normal, along comes some 325,000 gun toting, two-legged and smelly creatures into the woods out for venison. It's just another day of November in the world of the white-tailed deer!

Washington, DC (Sports Network) - Ryan Zimmerman slid across the plate with the winning run on a wild pitch in the bottom of the 10th inning, sending the Washington Nationals to a 3-2 win over the Cincinnati Reds in the opener of a four-game series Thursday.
Zimmerman led off the inning and was hit on the arm by Reds' reliever Alfredo Simon. He advanced to second on a one-out single to left by Jayson Werth, then moved to third on a groundout by Xavier Nady.
Facing Roger Bernadina, Simon (0-1) bounced a breaking ball that got away from catcher Devin Mesoraco, allowing the winning run to score.
"We're off to a good start, but we have a long way to go," Zimmerman said. "I think the strength of this team is pitching and defense. The defense has been a little sub par, but the pitching has been great."
Craig Stammen (1-0) struck out the side in the top of the 10th to pick up the victory after Washington blew a 2-0 lead in the ninth.
Adam LaRoche went 2-for-5 with a two-run single and Ian Desmond was 3-for-5 with a run scored for the Nats, who are 5-2 and off to their best seven-game start since moving from Montreal in 2005.
Starter Gio Gonzalez was fantastic in his first home start of the season, going seven shutout innings and giving up just two hits while striking out seven without issuing a walk.
"He was really good," Reds manager Dusty Baker said. "Today he threw a whole bunch of fastballs, so perhaps he's changed his philosophy coming from the American League to the National League, but he was good."
The Reds, who have dropped three of their last four and fell to 3-4 on the season, tied the game against Nats closer Brad Lidge in the ninth.
Lidge coaxed a groundout from Zack Cozart to start the inning, but then got into trouble by walking Joey Votto and giving up a double down the left field line to Scott Rolen to put runners on second and third.
Washington elected to intentionally walk Jay Bruce, loading the bases with one down for Ryan Luckwick, who sent a sharp ground ball to third that just snuck under the glove of Zimmerman to plate both runners and tie the game at two.
Earlier, Washington broke a scoreless tie in the fifth. Gonzalez dunked a single into center field, Desmond slapped one up the middle and Danny Espinosa worked a walk to load the bases with one out.
After Zimmerman grounded into a fielder's choice, LaRoche picked up his teammate with a two-run single up the middle to give the Nats a 2-0 advantage.
Gonzalez has allowed just one unearned run in two career starts against the Reds...Cincinnati starter Mat Latos yielded two runs on five hits and three walks in five innings...Gonzalez's hit was his first in the majors.

Local wedding planner celebrates 20 years in businessWritten by Sarah Ottney | Editor in Chief | email@example.com
Whether it's a last-minute vendor cancellation, broken-down limo, guest with an uninvited plus-one or red wine stain on the bride's white dress, Bee for the Day owner Brooke Lauber-Cobb and her team of 16 "bees" have the experience to quickly solve any wedding emergency.
The Archbold native has been in the wedding coordinating business for 20 years.
"I like the anonymity of being the person who takes care of problems behind the scenes," Lauber-Cobb said. "The feeling of accomplishment you get when you solve a problem and no one else even knows you've done it. It's such a rush."
For most of her career, Lauber-Cobb has held a day job, building her wedding planning business on the side by word of mouth, but about four years ago, she started operating Bee for the Day full time. Her past experience includes political and nonprofit fundraising and event planning, catering, waitressing, 9-1-1 operator and the criminal justice field.
"I've always been in problem-solving positions and in the service industry," she said. "We really try to stay ahead of any problem that's going to come up. We want to be your problem-solving people."
Bee for the Day is the only local company that specializes solely in wedding planning, Lauber-Cobb said. Day-of coordination is the most popular service. Bees can also accompany clients to vendor meetings, offer vendor recommendations, look over contracts, tweak invitation wording and more. Bee for the Day also collects information from each vendor and organizes all the schedules into one master schedule.
"We say we wear black and stay in the back," said coordinator Heather Bertz, who has been with Bee for the Day for seven years. "If we can stay behind the scenes and let everybody think 'Oh my gosh, Susie and her mom planned the most amazing event and it just went off without a hitch,' that's our ultimate goal."
The average cost of Bee for the Day services is $1,500 to $2,500, said Lauber-Cobb, who bills by the hour rather than offers packages so that couples can more easily customize the service to their needs.
"The biggest false statement about wedding planners is that you can't afford one," Lauber-Cobb said. "Honestly, I think you can't afford not to."
Bertz said it's satisfying when a client — often the father of a bride trying to reign in a budget — admits the expense was worth it.
"My favorite part of the night is when dad comes up to me and says, 'I thought my wife was crazy for hiring you, but I am so glad you were here to spend the day with us. You were the best money I ever spent,'" Bertz said.
Satisfied customers
Marybeth Monaghan Hughes of San Diego and her mom Randi Monaghan of Toledo hired Bee for the Day, on the recommendation of a family friend, to help coordinate Hughes' Dec. 14 wedding in Toledo.
The three Bee for the Day coordinators who worked the wedding were unobtrusive yet available, Hughes said.
"I wasn't ever walking around and bumped into them, but it seemed like throughout the evening, the second I felt I needed anything, one of them was right there ready to help," Hughes said. "Plus, they work with wedding professionals all the time and it was nice to have an extra advocate on my side when there were questions or issues."
The bees averted a food allergy crisis, took charge of a vendor issue, fixed a problematic bustle and had dry socks ready for the groomsmen after a snowball fight photo op. They also dismantled and loaded all the reception centerpieces into the family's vehicles — even brushing the snow off the cars, warming them up and turning them to face the exit, Hughes said.
"It was absolutely worth it," Hughes said. "They exceeded expectations for sure. I'm sure both of my sisters will be using them for their weddings when they get to that point."
Monaghan agreed, saying the bees made it so she and her husband could enjoy the reception.
"My husband … said it was the best money they spent," Monaghan said, laughing. "Instead of having to check on every little detail, we were able to enjoy our party. I told my husband it was almost like attending someone else's wedding. I'm sure we could have managed the day without her, but it wouldn't have been nearly as enjoyable or run as smoothly."
Business expansion
Bee for the Day is based in Perrysburg, but coordinators will travel anywhere. The company has done weddings in Columbus, Chicago, Las Vegas, Hawaii and more. The business coordinated 50 weddings in 2012 and 75 in 2013, with a limit of five weddings per weekend.
Lauber-Cobb's business is growing in other ways as well. Two years ago, she launched sister company Bee at Ease, which specializes in "life celebrations," such as funerals, bridal and baby showers, graduations, birthday and anniversary parties and bar/bat mitzvahs.
"It's the same as planning a wedding, but it's in a shorter period of time," Lauber-Cobb said. "People have the same sense of worry and frustration and are out of their element. To be able to pull everything together and take care of things in an immediate fashion, we can offer a sense of assistance where you may not have known you needed it. We can offer the peace of mind that everything is going to go well."
There is also a Bee for the Day office in Dallas, which started a former Toledo employee moved to Texas and opened her own business there.
When hiring a wedding coordinator, Lauber-Cobb recommended looking for someone experienced, enthusiastic and calm under pressure.
"I don't want anyone to think my job is not fun. It is fun. But there's a lot of stress and it's more than going to parties and dressing nice," Lauber-Cobb said. "There's a lot of work to it too."
But Lauber-Cobb and Bertz both thrive on helping families pull off the perfect event.
"I think people are surprised by how much they rely on us and how much we offer them that they didn't expect," Lauber-Cobb said. "My favorite line is when someone says to me, 'I couldn't have done this without you' I always say, 'You could have, but I'm glad you didn't because it would have been a lot more stressful.'"

Many companies have concentrated on optimizing their supply chains with suppliers around the world in addition to themselves, in order to stably and rapidly provide products and services to customers with better quality and cost performance.
Against a backdrop of increasing awareness of compliance, human rights, and the environment around the world, in addition to respecting the rights of their own group employees, companies are now expected to responsibly survey the state of labor conditions, compliance with laws and regulations, and environmental measures at their suppliers, and take action if necessary to remedy any shortcomings. A company that continues to conduct business with secondary or even tertiary suppliers discovered to have shortcomings in these areas will be criticized by society, which may impede the company's ability to manufacture products and otherwise conduct business.
Panasonic's Standard Purchase Agreement clearly explains its principles regarding respect for human rights, keeping working environments safe, prohibiting discriminatory behavior, and actions in other areas. Our suppliers, as well as their subcontractors and suppliers, are required to adhere to these principles. Panasonic aims to build a sustainable supply chain with its suppliers by updating and distributing information about the principles it wants its suppliers to observe from a CSR perspective as well.
In order to fulfill its social responsibility in its procurement practices, Panasonic has adopted a basic policy of not using conflict minerals as raw materials, because conflict minerals are a source of funding for organizations that are involved in human rights abuses, environmental destruction, bribery, and other unlawful activities in regions of conflict.
Specifically, Panasonic participated in the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals in Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas project that the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) began in August 2011. In fiscal 2014, Panasonic began investigating its smelters for evidence of conflict minerals in collaboration with the Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association (JEITA).

Money may be tight these days for many in the region, but one thing local leaders can agree to spend a little money on is the future of the youth in the area — or at least that was the impression for anyone attending last week's appreciation dinner for donors to Project Hope, a non-profit project designed to help at risk male youth in Perry County.
Project Hope was formed in 2009 after local officials noticed a trend in juvenile cases, attributing the reason they were in trouble to there being nothing better to do. Now, with donations and volunteers from the Kentucky State Police, the Perry County Fiscal Court, local businesses, and many other places in the county, those kids have something to do.
Chris Fugate, pastor of the Gospel Light Baptist Church in Hazard and a newly-retired KSP officer who is also one of the leaders of Project Hope, said the over 100 volunteers the project gets each year only hope to better the lives of those kids who need help.
"We just want to be an influence on the young men in our county that have strayed away or maybe don't have the help at home that they need," Fugate said. "We encourage them, of course, to stay in school, go into some kind of trade, whether it's vocational school or college, to learn a trade, and so they better their lives."
Fugate said while the boys chosen for the program are nominated by school officials, counselors, parole officers, or parents, that does not necessarily mean they have all been in some kind of trouble.
"Some of them have been in trouble, but not all of them. They're good boys, some of them just don't have the leadership that they need at home maybe," Fugate said.
Fugate said the boys who are chosen for the project get to do numerous activities throughout the year, including going to Mammoth Cave and Natural Bridge this year, all free of cost. The project has also hosted a camp, Camp Promise, every year since it was founded.
The camp takes 50 campers to the Twin Rocks Bible Camp located on the Middle Fork of Maces Creek for four days in June. The campers have camp dads, who are KSP officers, Fugate said.
"Every person that works at camp is a volunteer, most of the cabin dads are troopers with the state police, and we just try to interact with the boys," he said.
Fugate said he would love to see the project expand to not only other counties, but to also include both boys and girls.
"It would be a blessing to see other communities and other groups of people come together, and we'd love to help with that," Fugate said.
Project Hope and Camp Promise would not be possible without the care and donations of businesses, organizations, and citizens of the county, Fugate said, and he and his fellow volunteers are extremely grateful.
"You can see by looking in the full room in there, a lot of people invest in our kids and they care about them," he said.

Two Scioto County residents' recent pleas in federal court in Cincinnati have been unsealed and both have plead guilty. Tracy Bias and Bart Journey, both of West Portsmouth, have entered guilty pleas to charges of conspiracy to distribute a controlled substance.
That count carries a maximum penalty of up to 20 years imprisonment, a fine of up to $1 million, a three-year term of supervised release, forfeiture of assets, potential civil penalties and a $100 special assessment.
According to documents from the United States District Court, Southern District of Ohio, Journey entered the plea on Feb. 10, 2012, and that plea was sealed until last week. Bias entered his guilty plea on May 23, 2013, and it was also sealed on that date to be revealed last week before the beginning of a money laundering trial for Columbus attorney Steven Hillman, the lone person in that case to stand trial.
As a part of the plea agreement, the U.S. Attorney has agreed to dismiss all remaining charges in the case. One part of the agreement sheds some light on the sentencing structure for Bias.
"Further the United States agrees that should the defendant, Tracy Bias, cooperate in this matter as required and provide honest and complete testimony, the United States agrees to seek a term of incarceration not exceeding 10 years."
The decision goes on to say, "Tracy Bias (Bart Journey) agrees that during the course and in furtherance of the conspiracy, he co-owned and operated Southern Ohio Complete Pain Management, located at 1219 Findlay Street in Portsmouth, Ohio, and was co-owner in Portsmouth Medical Solutions, located at 1405 11th Street in Portsmouth Ohio."
The decision said the pain clinics would see approximately 30 patients a day and charge them at least $200.
Reports are that closing arguments in the case against Hillman may come as early as Tuesday.
Hillman is charged with conspiracy to distribute and dispense controlled substances and money laundering.
"The United States expects the testimony to show that Steven Hillman knew the pain clinics were engaged in illegal activities and that he also deliberately ignored the illegal distribution of controlled substances from these pain businesses. Knowing the types of activities that were going on within the businesses, Hillman borrowed or was given hundreds of thousands of dollars ($132,920 at 18 percent) in United States Currency that was to be used to open a pharmacy, Physicians' Pharmacy in Piketon, Ohio. This pharmacy was to act as a conduit to fill the prescriptions for pain medication that were otherwise not being filled by local pharmacies," the government case reads.
The case goes on to say Hillman received $10,000 a month in fees from Bias and Journey as a retainer from money obtained by the clinics. It charges Hillman and others associated with Physicians' Pharmacy, continued to obtain cash from Tracy Bias in an additional amount of approximately $75,000. That money was never recorded as received from Bias.
Hillman tried to challenge Portsmouth's pain clinic regulations in Scioto County Court, but lost that case.

Tuesday, April 16, 2013
To many of us, the idea of playing the game of golf with a Frisbee would seem to be a fairly new concept. But, the first accounts of a competitive game go back to the 1920s, and organized "disc golf" leagues and tournaments emerged in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
With thousands of courses in the United States and many more in 40 other countries, the sport has reached that "critical mass" point where there is currently an explosion of new courses.
In just the last two years, the Charleston area has gone from two courses to six – and one of the four new ones is right in our own backyard, just 15 miles north of the Ravenel Bridge.
Brooks and Arthur Geer, owners of Sewee Outpost got hooked in Charlotte where well over a dozen disc golf courses are maintained by the state.
Upon returning, they laid out a course for their own enjoyment, using flower pots as targets. Given the store's focus on outdoor life in the Lowcountry, it soon seemed natural to put in a course that could be enjoyed by many. Harold Duvall and Zeb Campbell of Innova Corp. came to Charleston and designed a course for them. The course was put in, and now official "baskets" have replaced the flower pot targets.
A basket, the equivalent of a "hole" in conventional golf is vertical pole surrounded by two circles of chains that arrest the flight of a disc, allowing it to fall into a basket below.
Mount Pleasant resident David Heywood, professor at the College of Charleston, is a disc golf enthusiast who showed me the ropes – or chains, if you will.
There are a wide variety of discs - some for distance, some whose flight arcs to the left or right and some designed to fall into the basket. Disc golf has its own unique terminology to refer to the numerous types of throws, but overall the rules and etiquette closely mirror those of conventional golf.
"What a pleasure to finally have a course in our backyard. We don't have to travel to the other side of town now to play," Heywood said.
Surprisingly, one of our own Mount Pleasant residents is a two-time world disc golf champion, three time Woman Disc Golfer of the Year and inductee into the Disc Golf Hall of Fame.
She is Vanessa Chambers, who along with her husband Coleman own Hunter Transportation based in Mount Pleasant. Coleman, Vanessa and their two sons structure all of their vacations around disc golf courses, having played all over the United States, in Canada and Europe as well.
So, next time you are up toward Sewee Outpost, give Disc Golf a whirl. "Greens fees" are $5 to play all day, the expense of discs to get started is minimal and you don't have to wear those funny shoes. You might just find yourself saying, "Under the magnolia tree, through the azalea bush, off the oak sapling, nothin' but…. umm, basket."

Friday, January 18, 2013
An early morning bomb scare Friday disrupted operations at the Dorchester County Law Enforcement Annex in Summerville.
Employees and onlookers stood, shivering, outside, on the far perimeters of the parking lot on Deming Way as bomb experts from SLED and the Charleston County Sheriff's Office carefully inspected a car parked in front of the Dorchester County Sheriff's Office first with a robot, then manually.
The incident began to unfold about 7:30 a.m. Friday when a DCSO deputy came into the building and encountered a woman, identified as Delphine Rhodes of Summerville, in the front waiting area of the DCSO office. When the deputy asked Rhodes if he could help her, she told him she believed there was a bomb in her car, a white Lincoln Town Car parked outside, Sheriff L.C. Knight said.
Sheriff's Office officials spoke to the woman and quickly determined she was experiencing some mental issue. Nonetheless, standard procedure calls for any bomb threat to be investigated and safety measures enacted immediately, he said.
"We didn't take that chance," Knight said in response to a question as to whether the woman's assertion seemed credible. "We take all such incidents seriously, and we immediately took actions to ensure everyone's safety and called in the experts."
With buildings and parking lot evacuated, the bomb squad took about two and half hours to carefully go over the vehicle, including deployment of a specialized robot to inspect the vehicle, Knight said.
Rhodes was transported to Summerville Medical Center for evaluation, according to DCSO officials. Knight said he did not know of any charges DCSO might be pursuing as of yet, but noted that such a decision would very likely depend on the results of Rhodes' medical evaluation. He also said that to his knowledge, DCSO has never had any dealings with Rhodes.
The bomb squad determined there was no bomb around 10 a.m. and employees returned to the building and normal operations resumed shortly thereafter.

Gearworld: The Borderlands
In days before, the gears still turned and the old machines still worked. The sky was clear and blue, and life flourished. Then noxious clouds came and choked the air. Smoke blanketed the sky. Some people departed in flying cities, ascending above the clouds to the World Above. Others dug deep beneath the ground, vanishing into the World Below. Meanwhile, those in the Borderlands watched the world grow dark as the gears ground to a halt.
Gearworld: The Borderlands is a game of negotiation, conquest, and construction in which two to four players compete to gain the favor of the Sky People for their tribe of scavengers in a post-apocalyptic landscape. Based on the classic board game Borderlands designed by Bill Eberle, Jack Kittredge, and Peter Olotka, Gearworld: The Borderlands has streamlined the original rules and re-imagined the game's setting while retaining its predecessor's spirit and core mechanics.
When the world darkened, and the Sky People first left the surface behind for to live in the World Above, they took vast stores of energy in order to secure their independence. After generations spent in the World Above, the Sky People's stores of energy have finally begun to dwindle. Anticipating this problem, the cities' engineers have drafted plans for great engines known as skyworks. The skyworks will bring the heat of the Fire Below up to power the cities of the Sky People. The Sky People know that the starving, scavenging tribes of the Borderlands are desperate for any goods that they can get, and the Sky People need the tribes of the surface to build their skyworks. Building the skyworks for the World Above ensures a tribe's survival, and in the Borderlands, survival is all that matters. Gather resources, trade with other players, and battle your rivals in an effort to be the first to develop three skyworks for the Sky People and gain favor for your tribe.
Scavenging in the Wastes
The tribes of the Borderlands have mined the land for coal, gold, and iron for generations, and are adept at extracting scrap from ruins. Horses are the primary mode of transportation of these goods and are valuable in war, so a ranch can make or break a tribe's success. Each resource is essential to building your tribe's strength and, eventually, the skyworks.
Scavenging the wastes is not an easy task, and luck plays a large role in which resources each tribe has to work with at the outset of its struggles. Controlling a production site gains your tribe one of those resources during the production phase. Tribes must jealously guard their mines, scrapyards, and ranches if they have any hope of being able to build or barter.
During setup, players take turns placing Resource Tokens facedown on the map. Once all the Resource Tokens are on the board, they are flipped over to reveal what each site produces. Players then place their tribe's figures on spaces of the board. Each player must try to secure as many resources as he can for his tribe while constructing a defensible front to fend off greedy neighbors. Then the struggle for the favor of the Sky People begins.
Developing the Borderlands
While building the skyworks is the end goal, each tribe must use its resources wisely in order to reinforce its strength and enhance its ability to transport goods. Combining resources into weapons, bridges, ships, and riverboats while conserving enough to build skyworks is the delicate balancing act that each tribe must undertake.
Weapons will reinforce your military might, making them extremely valuable when your tribe comes under attack. A ship can give you control of the coast, and steamboats make transporting resources via the river an easy task. Both of these vessels also add to your strength in battle. Bridges are a quick and inexpensive way to connect the islands of Claw, Ironside, and Locke to the main landmass of Haestus, potentially opening up new avenues for resources.
In order to build any of these developments, including the skyworks, all of the materials required must be in the same space, so the effective transportation of resources is essential to your success. Each tribe must produce, trade, or steal the resources they need to build new developments and protect what is theirs.
Diplomacy and Conquest
Resources in the wastes of the Borderlands are scarce, and there will be times when a tribe will need to trade in order to gain the supplies they need to succeed. Trading allows two players to swap any amount of resources and place them in any area that they control. Trading is an efficient way to get the resources you need while bypassing the problem of transporting resources all over the wasteland. Take note, however, that while a good trade may bring you closer to your goals, it does the same for your competition.
Even with the friendliest of trade conditions, there will be times when diplomacy breaks down, and the only option is to do battle. During the battle phase, each player chooses another player's tribe to attack in a neighboring space. Players can form alliances to reinforce defenses or enhance an attack's strength. Gang up on a tribe that has had a runaway lead, or defend your own interests by reinforcing a weaker tribe to keep a buffer zone in place. Defeat an opponent, and your tribe controls that space including all of its resources and any developments that may have been built there.
Spearheading, a new addition to the rules of battle in Gearworld: The Borderlands, allows an attacker to declare ships, steamboats, and horses as spearhead reinforcements. These additions boost your strength in battle and allow you to reinforce your newly conquered area with these units if you succeed. Winning battles lets you follow up with a second attack or take advantage of an extra transport action, so the tide can turn quickly within a single round of play.
Acquire resources by conquering your fellow scavengers, carefully defending your own lands, or using trade and diplomacy to gain an edge. The favor of the Sky People is yours for the taking provided you are able to outwit the other tribes of Gearworld: The Borderlands!

Last week, at a meeting in New York, it was announced that a group of Republican and Democratic lawmakers have agreed to get together once in awhile and chat. This made news nationwide.
Does that not tell you all you need to know about the sorry state of American politics? Does that not paint the starkest possible picture of the frozen government and Balkanized parties that have left our nation lurching from crisis to crisis like a drunk on a heaving deck? Lord help us, it is newsworthy when Republicans and Democrats agree to talk.
This announcement of the political equivalent of a foreign exchange program was made under the aegis of a fledgling public interest group, No Labels, which has set as its task nothing less than the fixing of Americas broken government.
The group would want you to know that its name does not mean members are expected to surrender their ideology or party affiliation at the door. Indeed, No Labels members represent both parties and all points of the ideological spectrum. They would also want you to know their mission is not simply to restore civility to public discourse.
No, No Labels seeks to return to a day when labels did not prevent lawmakers from addressing the nations problems. Stop fighting, start fixing! goes the groups slogan.
Founded two years ago and having gained little traction since, No Labels used last weeks event to hit the proverbial reset button. The group purposely does not get into the weeds of public policy or social issues, but it does have goals more ambitious than just encouraging regular get-togethers.
Its wish list includes a provision that Congress doesnt get paid if it fails to pass a budget on time; another that bans lawmakers from taking any pledge but the Pledge of Allegiance and their oath of office; still another that requires a fast up or down vote on presidential appointments. No Labels would also like to see lawmakers receive an annual, nonpartisan briefing on the fiscal state of the union, the idea being that they would no longer be able to cherry pick facts from partisan groups to support their budget arguments.
Yes, this all smacks unbearably of kumbaya and earnestness to many of those professional cynics who watch politics for a living. Maybe they are right. There is something admittedly quixotic in the whole thing. But has anyone floated a better idea? The alternative is to remain what we are: a tire spinning in snow, making a lot of noise, digging in deeper and going nowhere.
We are in this fix because there is too much money in our politics, because the media echo chamber has grown too loud, because our election system has been rigged such that it discourages compromise. We are also here because the GOP has been taken over by inflexible extremists who call themselves (but often are not) conservatives.
Understand: our politics are not simply polarized, they are poisonous. Left has seceded from right, fact has seceded from media, compromise has seceded from negotiation, pragmatism has seceded from legislation. We play a zero sum game where party trumps country, reason is treason and there is an evident belief that he who yells the stupidest thing in the loudest voice, wins.
This state of affairs exists because voters have allowed it to exist, because they reward it with big ratings on television and big numbers at the polls. But there is a price tag for this. Our government is a train wreck.
No, thats the wrong word. Train wrecks, after all, move. Our government is a glacier frozen and inert beyond anything in recent memory. Any idea that holds out even a quixotic promise to get it moving again is worthy of support and applause.

Adam and Alex discuss the hit-and-run in the sauna, Sharon and Nick make a date, and Michael gets himself thrown in the hole.
At the penthouse, Adam tells Chelsea he's happy about Connor's improving vision. She thinks he also feels guilty knowing he can see because a little girl died. She wonders if he's heard from his contacts yet. Adam hasn't. He warns her not to get Chloe's hopes up.
At Crimson Lights, Alex tells Kevin the food is better there now than when he owned it. They discuss the hit-and-run. Kevin is fed up with the police department's efforts. Chloe arrives. Alex assures her they're doing everything they can before leaving. Chloe tells Kevin he can't keep taking care of her at night - he's exhausted and his family needs him. Chloe can't keep taking from him. He says she makes him feel needed, which is helping him survive. Later, Noah and Courtney arrive and discuss his long hours. They make plans for dinner and kissing afterward.
Sharon arrives at The Underground where Nick is fixing the freezer. He says he called her there to discuss something and asks about the confession she was about to make in the freezer. She pretends not to remember and then says she did something she really regrets; she took advantage of him by calling him over every time Faith had a sniffle. Sharon sprays Nick with soda. He gets her back and laughter ensues. Nick says Nikki's holding an event there tomorrow - the place is cursed. It may be time to reevaluate his life...again. He suggests they do something with Faith together tonight - he wants Faith to know they're friends. Sharon beams. "It's a date."
At the jail, Fen tells Lauren he's keeping a low profile. She says Michael will try to help him. Fen says he should be the only one in there. He tells her not to visit him anymore - he can't be a mama's boy. In the yard, Michael chats up the guard, whom he knew when he was D.A., and asks him to let him speak to the warden. "If he helps me, I can help him." Fen returns to the yard and surreptitiously talks to Michael through the fence. When an inmate comes over, Michael snaps, "Mind your own business!" It turns out the guy is called Womack. Fen tells Michael it's not easy to stay away from him. Michael tells Fen to lay low - he's going to talk to the warden. Womack calls Fen over. "I'll take care of you." Womack takes Fen inside and Michael freaks out, hitting the guard in the process.
Chloe arrives at the penthouse to work. Adam is leaving. Chloe acknowledges that he obviously feels awkward about them donating Delia's corneas. Adam says there just aren't words. After, Chelsea notices Connor has a tummyache. Chloe gives brief advice and then tries to focus on work, but admits that all she can think about is Delia. She keeps replaying memories but they're slipping away. Chloe says the nights are worst but Kevin's helping her. Chloe wonders if Chelsea's still there because she needs Adam. Chelsea admits they have the same fears about parenting. Chloe urges her to cherish every moment with Connor.
Kevin and Alex discuss the hit-and-run at the station. Alex is frustrated and takes off.
Lauren meets Summer on the coffee house patio. Summer is upset about Fen dealing drugs and being in jail. She wants to visit him. Summer says it goes back to Jamie, and she wants to take responsibility. Lauren says Phyllis would be proud. They hug. After, Summer sees Noah and Courtney. They talk about Fen's dealing. Courtney abruptly leaves. Summer and Noah discuss Courtney. Summer admits that she doesn't know about her family - it's really weird, but Courtney's never invited her to her house.
Alex finds Adam in the sauna at the Athletic Club. They discuss the wacky leads Alex has received on the hit-and-run since the reward was offered. Alex can't understand someone killing a girl and going on with their life. Adam wonders how he knows that's the case. He says the reason the person didn't own up to it might make sense to them. Alex mentions Adam having a personal stake in the case. Adam says it affected a lot of people, though he's connected more than most because of his son. Alex says the guy won't get away with it. Adam says either way, it won't bring Delia back.
Lauren arrives at the jail and is told Michael's being put in the hole. Michael is taken past, hollering her name.
Alex returns to the station. Kevin snarks about him finding a clue in the sauna. Alex says, "Actually, I think I did."
Adam returns home as Chloe assures Chelsea she'll always be there.

Simple enough, your predictions for the upcoming year. This can include title holders, fighters being released or retiring, anything really. What do you think is going to happen in the world of MMA in the next 12 months?
I'll get things started:
Cain will still be the HW champ
Frankie will win the FW title, after Aldo bumps up to LW
GSP will still be the WW champ
Weidman never get's a shot at the title. He'll fill in for Vitor after he pulls out of the Bisping fight due to injury, then promptly lose.
Silva vs. Jones will come oh so close to happening, but won't due to some crazy bullshit.
Chael Sonnen will retire after getting tapped against Bones. Maybe have a couple money fights, but he'll be done by the end of the year.
Rousey gets KOed in her first title defense. The UFC women's division doesn't see 2014.
OneFC holds an event in the US.
Bellator gets crazy ratings on Spike; Dana White counter programs them at every turn.
Eddie Alvarez and Gilbert Melendez have the FOTY

Editor's Note: This is a continuation from previously published spring sports season previews. The Moultrie News ran previews about Wando's and Bishop England's teams in the Feb. 20 edition.
Dale Hoover is just making sure his teams are ready this season. That's all a coach can ever do and hope for results to follow.
The Palmetto Christian Academy track and field teams had strong showings in the SCISA 1A/2A state championships last year, and Hoover expects more of the same.
"The PCA boys finished as runners-up in the state championship," Hoover said, "and I expect we will be more competitive in our quest for the championship this year."
He added that he hopes the Eagle girls are regarded among the state contenders.
Fresh of a succesful basketball season, Gabe Hogan, Adam Graudin, Cody Brewerton, Joe Siegwald and J.T. Waters all shift their attentions to the track. Hogan was state champion in long jump, high jump and triple jump. Graudin is a two-time 400m champion.
First-year Palmetto Christian student athlete Brewerton will compete in discus and shot put. Siegwald and Waters will both compete in the 100m and 200m races. Siegwald is also assigned to the long jump.
On the girls end, Annie Pascutti returns as a two-time champion in the 400m hurdles. MacKenzie Patrick finished second in the hurdles.
Lane Weinheimer and Abbby Fesler are also key competitors. Weinheimer participates in the 100m and 200m races. Fesler tries her hand in shot put and discus. She grabbed third place in discus last season.
The Eagles have six regular season meets scheduled. Among the most challenging figure to be the meets at Orangeburg Prep, March 5, and at Porter Gaud, March 13.
"It is difficult to set expectations before the season, because you never know what athletes the other teams have until you start the meet schedule," Hoover said. "I believe we will be in the mix at the state championships in May."

Bureau of Medi-Cal Fraud & Elder Abuse
California's most vulnerable people - its children, poor, elderly and disabled - can all too often be victimized by:
- Medical doctors ordering unnecessary lab tests, and allowing untrained, uncertified assistants to provide medical treatment to patients
- Dentists performing unnecessary teeth extractions on both adults and children
- Medical supply companies billing for equipment and products that were neither ordered nor delivered
- Nursing homes allowing their patients to suffer from bedsores, malnutrition and dehydration
- Nurse assistants physically abusing elderly and dependent adult patients who are entrusted to their care
Your Legal Duty - Reporting Elder and Dependent Adult Abuse
Training Materials:
Download a text version of the Your Legal Duty Curriculum, pdf
The reporting requirements have changed and our office is working on a new curriculum along with a revised video. Please use the document entitled "Mandated Reporter Flow Chart," which describes the newly revised requirements, to supplement the curriculum and video.
While most health care providers in the state's Medi-Cal program are committed to giving the finest and most appropriate treatment to their patients, some unfortunately place profit and greed above patient care and the law.
To protect our most vulnerable citizens and help safeguard the state's Medi-Cal program, the Attorney General's Bureau of Medi-Cal Fraud and Elder Abuse works aggressively to investigate and prosecute those who would rob taxpayers of millions of dollars each year and divert scarce health care resources from the needy. The Bureau of Medi-Cal Fraud and Elder Abuse also works aggressively to protect patients in nursing homes and other long-term care facilities from abuse or neglect. These dedicated efforts have earned special national recognition for the Bureau of Medi-Cal Fraud and Abuse.

Guess who's response to this whole episode this is:
Oh Ye of Little Faith...
Berador doesn't have to "prove" anything. That is just a troll game. We have all been in fights that weren't "open to the public."
But, see, this is how the trolls work, they make you question everything. If we defend our friend, that is a good thing. Much better than being a pack of mad dogs like the BSDo punks.
Even if it weren't true, what difference does it make? I had an exhibition match in my little home town about twenty years ago. Even got paid for it by the local promoter. No way I could "prove" it happened. The guy I fought passed away a few years ago and the promoter moved away.
But, I ask you all again. EVEN IF IF COULD PROVE IT WITH NAMES, ADDRESSES, NEWSPAPER CLIPPINGS AND SO ON, SO WHAT? THE TROLLS WOULD STILL HATE AND BASH ME and refuse to accept any proof anyhow.
See guys, reality is a matter of what each of us CHOOSES to believe.
Look for the good and praise it, instead of thinking that if you didn't see it personally it couldn't have possibly happened. That is just being closed-minded.
Also, his student has shown up on TMAX presumably to defend him: http://www.armbell.com/forum/viewtop...2&mforum=kobra

Nothing, I mean NOTHING, is funnier than ninja's. Claiming to be a ninja is like putting on "sad clown" make up and pantomiming crying in front of an audience while circus midgets pull 200 yards of hankerchiefs out of your pocket. A little pathetic coming from a grown man, but still funny.A lie gets half-way around the world before the truth has time to get it's pants on. - Winston Churchhill

Radford's board is really heating up. That Lord Morgue guy even mentioned that proof should be easy to provide, but Radford is still defending Leo to the end. Remember, always follow the money. There are two types over there, the givers and the takers. Radford, Leo and Ron are all takers, they are all selling something. The rest are the givers, they buy the stuff. Since Radford's whole life is a series of lies, he has to defend Leo when he lies.

This is at least as funny as his MA claims--from his Sourceforge.net diary:
Got the first helper, a Blackcoder like myself. He told me
that he has a working bootloader, though it's only FAT12 :( .
Well, i guess that's ok for starters. The one i'm workin on
myself can yank it to a FAT32, but the EQU handle is a bit
quirky ( gotta remember to find some example-code on it ) ."KI water is available on request.($20+ donation suggested)."

Also does the title "training camp attendee" on Captain Happy Tabi's boards mean that disgruntled guy has been to a camp with AK?
Jesus. That could be a goldmine.

Berkeley Stags football coach Jeff Cruce might be seen along the sidelines sporting a pair of Tom Cruise Top Gun reflecto-shades before the 2014 season progresses very far.
Everything about the Stags offense this year is geared around speed.
We cant go fast enough, Cruce said following their scrimmage with Battery Creek on Thursday, Aug. 14. We have to go faster... faster.
Thats a football snapped every 18 seconds.
Eighty plays run a game.
These Stags feel the need for speed.
We need to be in shape for this and a scrimmage like this goes a long way in seeing where we are, Cruce said.
In their final tune-up before their Aug. 22 tilt with Johnsonville, the Stags turned on the afterburners and gave fans a preview of what to expect this fall.
A warning though, a visit to the concession stand and you might miss something big.
We want to run as many plays as we can as fast as we can, Cruce said. We can never go fast enough.
That means defenses better be in shape.
The Stags moved the ball downfield at such a pace, the chain gang couldnt even keep up.
As soon as the whistle blows to start play, were snapping the football, the Stags coach said.
Joseph Dress, the pilot for this Top Gun Stags fighter jet, ran for a touchdown and threw for two more, as Berkeley scored at will against an unprepared Battery Creek.
That pass to D.J. Whitherspoon was a dart, Cruce said.
With the ball on the Dolphins 30-yard line, Dress dropped back to pass. Finding no open targets, he tucked the ball to run, rolling out to his left.
As he reached the sideline, Dress spied an open Whitherpoon sprinting across the back of the end zone and fired a 35-yard frozen rope that the Stags wide receiver snared off his shoe tops.
Thats throwing back across the body, off the wrong foot, Cruce said. Hes got the arm strength to make that play.
Dress also ran for another touchdown before giving way to sophomore Darius Douglas, who scored on his first drive under center. Douglas scored on a run up the middle from 18-yards out.
Darius played very well and hes going to quarterback the JV team, Cruce said. We could have the best JV team weve had at Berkeley in a while.
On their first possession following a Battery Creek punt, Leon Simmons capped a Berkeley 45-yard drive to get the scoring underway for the Stags, a five-play drive that took all of 90-seconds.
Were already setting up the next play as were running up to the ball, Cruce said. Ive been fast at Hanahan and Cane Bay, but never this fast.
Later in the second quarter, Dress also found Keron Reid in the end zone for his second TD pass of the night.
This was a good scrimmage, Cruce said. We needed this time on the field badly.
With Johnsonville waiting on Friday, Aug. 22, and Stratford and Summerville standing in line immediately afterward, the Stags need to strap on their flight helmets.
Summerville is going to be very good this year, Cruce said. It will be very interesting to see how we do against them.

Leonard Bell and Michael Crim couldn't stop smiling at the groundbreaking ceremony at Ridge Spring-Monetta High School Wednesday – looking ahead about 18 months for the completion of a new middle school building on the campus.
It's a huge change for the small community of Ridge Spring, where the existing RS-M Elementary/Middle School has been located for some 60 years.
Bell, an RS-M graduate, serves as the advisory committee chairman for Crim's agriculture and FFA programs.
"This is amazing," said Bell. "It's been a long time coming, but it's always on time when it comes. This is going to give to children more incentive when they're surrounded by things up to standard."
Crim has been waiting for something like this since he started teaching at the high school in 1999. He anticipates that the new facility will bring people to the area, recognizing that the school's good scores. The addition of grades 6-8 to the campus will increase the number of students in the Career and Technology Education program, Crim said.
Warren Wintrode was appointed assistant principal at the high school about 16 months ago. A few months later, he was named the principal and has found the school a special place.
"It's about hope," Wintrode said. "The sense has been that we're out here by ourselves. But this shows that Aiken and Aiken County are putting money into this community, and that's huge that we're behind you for the long haul."
Ridge Spring is perhaps a unique community in South Carolina in the area of education. The community itself is located in Saluda County, including the elementary/middle school. But the school for many years has been part of the Aiken County School District. The high school was built by Aiken School officials about 50 years ago, which was probably the only way that could happen, said lifelong Ridge Spring resident Wallace Rodgers, a 1964 graduate.
"My children and grandchildren have been through here," he said. "I have an interest in this school, and I try to help as much as I can. It really is a big boost for the community."
That's certainly true, said Ronnie West, a new School Board member from Wagener, who also represents Ridge Spring.
"I hope it inspires the students to work even harder," he said.
The middle school re-location into a new building is the first phase of an overall project. The next step in roughly five years would be moving the elementary school to the high school campus.
"The need has been here forever," said Deputy Superintendent David Caver. "The amount of people who came out from this small community shows how real proud that this is happening."
