An Aiken man is dead after an early morning single vehicle crash on Wire Road.
Kirby A. White, 22, of Aiken was pronounced dead at the scene at 2 a.m., according to Aiken County Coroner Tim Carlton.
White was driving north in a 2006 Mitsubishi on Wire Road near Old Shoals Road when, Carlton said, it appeared the vehicle went of the roadway and stuck a tree.
Carlton said it appears White was speeding at the time of the crash and that alcohol may be a contributing factor.
White died from multiple body trauma, and toxicology is pending. The S.C. Highway Patrol is investigating the crash.

Chris Bianco Surprises With New Trattoria and Pizzeria in Phoenix
We've been on Chris Bianco overload for the last couple weeks around here, but the maestro had one more surprise up his sleeve that we couldn't possibly ignore. What if we said he just opened a new trattoria and a second Pizzeria Bianco in Phoenix? Okay, what if we told you we already checked out both? More

The day Steve Jobs stepped down from the board is the day the innovation died for Apple. Under his watch, the company always did something to remain ahead of the game. Now they're playing catchup to Samsung, especially when they release one new iteratition of iPhone per year.
Development of the next two iPhones began under Steve Jobs, of course
One does not simply pull an iPhone whole from the void and birth it in a single day. As anyone involved in the design, development, and manufacturing of iPhone-class products will tell you, it takes a long, long time and roadmaps typically stretch out over years. So, it comes as little surprise that the next two generations of iPhone, likely including an S-type update to the current iPhone 5, began under the direction of Steve Jobs. Still, given Jobs legacy, hearing it reaffirmed again seems to make many people happy. Which brings us to Mike Aldrax's report in the San Francisco Examiner:
[District Attorney George Gascón] said the next two generations of iPhones have already been developed.
"They preceded Tim Cook," the district attorney said he was told of the future iPhones.
The reason a San Francisco district attorney is being sourced is because of his office's ongoing investigation into stolen mobile devices.
To say that Steve Jobs having a hand in these products isn't important is saying his involvement with Apple wasn't important, which is lunacy. Someone of his universe-denting talents having a hand in anything is amazing. However, Jony Ive on design and Tim Cook on logistics, Bob Mansfield on radios and chips, and the rest of the team no doubt contributed from the beginning as well, and will be there to adapt them to ever changing market conditions, and eventually shepherd them onto store shelves.
Eventually the ball gets handed off, and the team runs with it. That's how this stuff works. Still, it's nice to know Steve Jobs was there for these products, at least in the beginning, right?

Development of the next two iPhones began under Steve Jobs, of course
Obvious troll is obvious. Don't feed him.
How about an intelligent reply instead. Point-counterpoint...you get the drill.
They could continue to make the same old stuff and watch technology fly further away from them. And we could watch the single biggest stock crash in history. This would literally put the last nail in the coffin to put him in the history books as the man who made Apple.
Or they could listen to the public and build what the people want to buy.
Steve never listened to the public- he reckoned they dint know what they wanted until he told them, and he was often right.
Apple's significant stock dip has had nothing to do with the company's sales. They've continued to be one the most, if not the most, profitable companies in business. The plummeting stock really is an artificial byproduct of too much idiotic ramblings of "analysts." Apple's business hasn't done anything to actually warrant the falling stock prices. You could possibly say Maps, but one app isn't enough to be a sole reason for a stock falling as much as Apple's has. I think the stock will rebound significantly once the iPhone 6 and iOS 8 are released next year. I believe in Jony Ive.
I'm sure whatever they come up with will be fine. It may seem like they are not innovating but how do you improve upon perfection. i don't blame them one bit for just sitting back and soaking up the profits from the hard work they have put into the platform. Larger screen, bah, fancy home screens, humbug, Apples greatest strength is in it's simplicity. Sure it's not for everyone, and the market has room for people with other opinions to step outside of the fold and buy what they like. It is ludicris to want more complicated, and to "just work" at the same time. I've used a few of the phones out there now and everyone of them had me wanting to pull my hair out by how complicated it seemed to make it do the simplest task. Streaming youtube to your tv with a Note2 for example, 45 seconds for the tv to even respond to the fact that you wanted to stream youtube. Maybe I'm spoiled but I will take my iPhone 4s any day of the week over what is offered right now, maybe for no other reason than it doesn't make me want to jump off a building. It just works, Jobs got it right, Apple is keeping it right.
It took you 45 seconds to get the Note 2 to stream YouTube videos to your TV, Something isn't right my friend, My Note 2, completely stock takes about 3 seconds. Maybe you do need something very simple, all as it takes is pushing a button. 45 seconds, comical and obviously you were zigging when you should have been zagging.
Being a Android owner since the Nexus One, currently own 3 of the newest Android phones and also buying the new SGS4, telling you this because I'm also picking up the new iphone 5 on April 12th from T-Mobile. Buying the 64gb model in white. I want to find out what all this fuss is over the iphone 5. I get sick speeds on T-Mobile in my area. I get over 20mb down and 6mb up on their HSPA+ Network, their LTE is right around the corner. Very excited to get my new iphone 5. I will be back to this forum looking for some help, the iphone is all new to me. Hope I don't get thrown out being also a Android Geek. There isn't much I haven't done with the Android OS, it has come a very long way, those of you who have not used the top of the line current Android device, you should give it a try, you just might be surprised. I am just a Geek, Android - IOS, doesn't matter. Love it all.
Yeah I find this whole post, listing out all these phones you supposedly own pretty comical. I work in IT and I have about 10 devices on my desk for testing, but that's job related.
This kinda bugs me. This means Steve knew what the iPhone 5S, 6, and 6S would be like. I am constantly disappointed in the battery life. The battery life is amazing for the little battery that is inside this phone; however, it's not enough. I cannot sit down and enjoy my phone by doing all the stuff on their TV ADs and still have enough battery to get through the day. I'm also not a fan of their retina display campaign. Is retina display great? Sure, but if you need to stay at 40-50% brightness to survive the day, can you honestly say you are truly experiencing a 'great' retina display?
Software and hardware working in sync (minus battery) can only make battery usage so efficient. Eventually, it will begin to fall short. I do not see Apple giving us a removable battery. It will screw up their design and it's something they won't like. I do; however, see Apple finally pulling their head out of their asses and giving us a 2000+ mAH battery.
Completely agree about battery life. IMO this is mostly a byproduct of Apple's incessant need to keep making the phone thinner. Add a couple millimeters and put a bigger battery in for crissakes! The Droid Razr Maxx HD has got the perfect form factor if you ask me. It's battery life is phenominal (I had to use one for a month when my iP5 was stolen). If only it didn't run that pesky Android mess. Make a bigger phone, Apple!
I take my iPhone off the charger at 5 am and head for work, I hardly ever have an issue with battery life. I'm making calls, checking emails, even playing games on my lunch break with no issue. Even with heavy usage I'm sitting at 35% at 8:30 pm.
The "Great Man Theory" of history has been debunked often and the criticism applies to the organizational-industrial field and business hagiographies. Owners and C-level executives are important, but not as important as most think. Apple has had many talented people developing great products and, although I mourn the loss of Jobs and feel quite sad when I think of him, Apple will be fine. Jobs had failures and successes and so will Apple without him--and a good deal will be out of their control.
Once again haters filling up the comments screaming "we want innovation!" with no ideas as to what innovation they want or realizing that innovation and available technology are too far apart right now. All of the device builders feel this gap right now... ALL of them whether we the consumer see it or not. Until BlackBerry and the iPhone came along, there had not been innovation in mobile in almost a decade. I'm not saying it will take that long again this time but right now let's enjoy the refinement that all the device builders continue to crank out.
I agree with your comments. It's exactly that, the next gap will be hard to bridge. It's an ongoing struggle to break the trends of what exists currently.
Think of our expectations now, were using less than a cm piece of glass to organize and communicate our entire lives. And we want MORE?? So soon???
This is exactly right. When the iPhone debuted, Steve said it was 5 years ahead of the competition. Well, it's about 6 years later and it's pretty much neck and neck, but we're at a point in technology where the next innovation isn't going to come in hardware anytime soon. Everybody is using cutting edge technology. It'll take a pretty significant breakthrough for anybody to leapfrog ahead.
Attn Apple: Please don't humor us with another "S" model. I genuinely want to stay with iOS products but am really hoping soon you will give us; 1) bigger AND wider screen, and, 2) an upgraded UI with a new home screen NOT made up of the same grid of useless icons we've had for 6 years!
I am increasingly lusting after a GS3/4!
I think the key words here are started by Jobs. Jony Ive and Tim Cook will still be a part of these next two iPhones but I think they will still be very Jobs iPhones. But it will be interesting to see how they are done and how the first Cook iPhones will be done as well.
And not just the next two iPhones. I'm pretty sure Steve mapped out a 5-year plan. And a 10-year plan. And a 15-year plan. And a 20-year plan. And I'm sure Tim Cook is working along those lines.
For example: the 5 year plan would end in roughly 2015. By then we'll have AMOLED screens on all mobile iOS devices (not the Apple TV or television set), and those screens will be manufactured by Sharp. And that means iPhones will be 5mm thick and iPod touches 3.5mm thick. And iPad and iPad mini will also be 5mm thick. iOS will have augmented reality built-in, a slightly "3d" look (with multiple AMOLED layers achieving a 3D look without needing much more GPU power), Siri will work with the Bluetooth earbuds shipped standard with all iOS devices. More iCloud robustness, performance, and features. (Lots of specific hardware details in the 5 year plan.)
10 years: the Apple disruption of the television industry will be under way, Apple will be running Numbers spreadsheets to determine if and when to actually release a 4K or 8K HDTV set. They'll totally skip the current 1920x1080 TV generation, wait for costs to come down, then start work on their own set. iCloud and the redesigned and renamed app formerly known as iTunes will be the key to Apple's television solution, and there will be several massive data centers in the US like the one in North Carolina. The 800th Apple Store will be opened, MacBook Airs will all be 10mm thick, and iMacs will be 5mm deep at their thickest point.
20 years: All iOS devices will be free with carrier subsidy and/or iCloud paid account, iAd will partially subsidize all iOS devices and will have replaced much of conventional TV advertising. Apple will start working on a 3D television projection system that doesn't require a physical screen. iPod will be the size of a postage stamp, will weigh 5 grams, and can be attached to the user's temple. No more earbuds. Sound will be transmitted directly into the user's brain. It will be called "iPod sticker."
You win the Internet for today with that comment!!! Seriously, love all the possibilities/advancements you stated & completely agree that Jobs 100% had a sort of "roadmap" for the next 10-15 years. Obviously his extended vision won't be followed to a "T", but the outline for the upcoming Apple cycles is there for them to build upon.
Isn't this how companies should operate. You what you are doing ahead of time. Companies Create 1 year, 2 year and 5 year plans. I'm sure there were some tweaks to the plan but overall this isn't a surprise.
Ewwww, never been a fan of that God dude, but Jobs was da man!
I think it is ridiculous to expect Jobs to know how the tech landscpape would look two years ahead, not to mention five years. Would people prefer a bigger screen, or more battery, or a faster radio would appear, or new sensor tech, 4K TV, games would be in, games would be out, emphasis on social or not, these are decisions Apple makes every year, and adjusts its phone design to fit.
I don't think, for example, that Jobs ever decided on a bigger screen, he considered the old size perfect. All that came from the pressure from Samsung, and it was not planned two years in advance, but probably around the time the 4S was launched.
To keep the "Apple magic" going, people are constantly keeping this myth alive, that Jobs knew everything in advance and made products for the next five years, but it is just not true. The tech landscape changes too fast for anyone to make specific product plans for five years ahead. Jobs probably made general plans such as the yearly cicle, emphasis on mobile, emphasis on profits etc., but not the blueprints for the iPhone 6, that is just ridiculous.
so steve jobs last iphone is the iphone 6
While I am sure the products initial ideas and general form where started back then much of the tech was not available. Also, Apple has been bending to the market with screen sizes so the chance that SJ had a huge influence on the products that we will hold in our hands over the next few years is a stretch. I see this comment as a way of convincing the masses who hear that Apple is no longer innovating by saying that these products where influenced by SJ the one true innovator so don't worry and continue to look forward to our products.
...so we can expect no substantive improvements to the iOS (aside from Ive's playing with 'flat') or hardware improvements that may realistically compete with whatever current Android product is out there until, at least, late 2014 - all because they're sticking to some dead guy's 5 year plan? Yeah. That's cutting edge.
Or maybe, simply, they just don't want to comply with a court ruling and that's their excuse.
I guess more on development also has become a crucial part and you can always reach out for any help or iphone apps or games on http://www.agileinfoways.com/contact-us

app103, does the F1 key work in other programs?
I just tried it in open office and no...F1 doesn't work there either. But this is the only F key that is having a problem. Everything else works, and does what it is expected to do, so I don't think it's an issue with some F-lock, that doesn't exist, being stuck.
One final thought, thoug - App, is there a key labelled Fn on your keyboard by any chance?
No, there isn't one.
And the path mentioned in the Jon Galloway blog post doesn't exist here, so I don't think it's some Microsoft branded keyboard stuff installed on my pc.
I don't have a Microsoft branded keyboard. I have an HP one...pretty generic PS/2 thing, most likely manufactured by Micro Innovations. (they make a lot of stock keyboards for Dell & HP) It is pretty much identical to all my genuine Micro Innovations branded keyboards I own except for color. These are pretty simple keyboards, nothing fancy about them except that they are spill resistant and can take a royal beating and keep working. The fanciest thing about them is the mute button in the upper right corner.
There are no user changeable settings for this keyboard except the repeat speed.
Maybe I'll have to play around with ahk and see if I can get F1 to trigger F1 (kind of like I had to do with Win+E to force it to open Explorer)

Fans flock to MU Homecoming
HUNTINGTON — The day started out dreary with drizzles of rain. But sometime near 10 a.m., the sun emerged and chased away the gray clouds, making it pleasant for thousands of Marshall University students, alumni and fans to line the streets of Huntington for the homecoming parade.
"We try to come and show our support every week," said Ryan Wheeler, a Marshall graduate who now lives in Teays Valley. "But homecoming is special because Marshall has such a special story."
Wheeler and his daughter, Claire, and cousin, Amelia Johnson, were dressed in green to enjoy the parade as it went along 4th Avenue before hitting 5th Avenue toward Joan C. Edwards Stadium.
In addition to a bunch of candy being thrown, the parade also featured several marching bands, including Marshall's Marching Thunder and Huntington, Spring Valley, Cabell Midland and Riverside High School bands. Fraternities and sororities also decorated floats for the parade, many illustrating this year's homecoming theme, "Remember the past. Thunder into the future," as part of the 175th anniversary of the school's founding.
Also taking part in the parade was Ashland resident Bill Bare. He was driving an old trolley he bought in 2002 that had been used by the city of Ashland. He painted it, put decals on it and loaded it up with memorabilia as a tribute to the 1970 team and the 75 players, coaches and supporters who died in a plane crash that year.
"We use it to tailgate in, a whole gang of us," said Bare, who has driven it in parades before. Saturday was special, though, as his 15-year-old grandson, McKay Chapa, flew in from Texas on Friday night to ride in the parade and then cheer on the Herd against Tulsa.
Bare's grandson wasn't the only person who traveled across the country to attend the homecoming festivities. About 80 alumni from Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity gathered at the tailgate blast, hosted by the Alumni Association, Black Alumni Association and Parents and Family Weekend. The African-American fraternity was celebrating its 50th anniversary at Marshall, bringing men and their families from a good number of states.
Among them was Horlin Carter, a 1969 graduate who played on the baseball team and was among the first members of Kappa Alpha Psi. He now lives in Greensboro, N.C., but tries to attend homecoming each year.
"People see friends they haven't seen in years and they make new friends," said Nancy Pelphrey, the assistant director of the Alumni Association. "We're thrilled to have so many people back on campus."
Saturday's homecoming activities also included the 5K Alum Run, Breakfast with the President, the NPHC Stepshow after the game at the Big Sandy Superstore Arena and a Black Alumni dance sponsored by Kappa Alpha Psi.

Dual-QB system is lifting UNC's offense on eve of State game
North Carolina has gone from relying almost entirely on Bryn Renner at quarterback to using a two-QB system with the addition of Marquise Williams.
Williams' role has steadily increased in recent games, giving the Tar Heels a run-pass threat heading into Saturday's trip to rival N.C. State (12:30 p.m., WRAL).
It's no coincidence that UNC (2-5, 1-3 Atlantic Coast Conference) is coming off two of its best offensive performances of the season, including last weekend's 34-10 win against Boston College.
"Each week it's gotten a little bit cleaner," offensive coordinator Blake Anderson said. "There really weren't any mistakes in terms of the communication or transition (against BC). As long as we keep doing that, it'll be effective for us."
Williams, a sophomore from Charlotte, made his first career start at Virginia Tech while Renner sat out with a foot injury, throwing for 277 yards and two touchdowns to go with 56 yards rushing. Renner, a three-year starter, has returned to take the majority of the snaps, but the Tar Heels have increased Williams' workload.
Williams has attempted 15 passes and thrown for pair of touchdowns over the past two games. He also averaged nearly 7 yards per carry and ran for a score. Compare that to earlier this season, when Williams got a combined three rushes and one pass attempt through the first four games. And Williams heard defensive players calling out that the Tar Heels were going to run the ball — likely with Williams on a keeper — the moment he ran onto the field in those early games.
"We weren't taking advantage of everything he had to offer," head coach Larry Fedora said. "Now he has complete control of everything that we do out there. I don't think anybody's saying that anymore."
Williams said he's steadily gained confidence with the additional reps. And he senses the coaches' confidence rising, too.
"You've just got to put belief in the coach," Williams said. "And that's one thing — they're starting to believe in me. I just worked hard in what I need to improve at. That's passing the football and accuracy to make them believe."
Williams' expanded role has given N.C. State (3-4, 0-4) plenty to prepare for this weekend.
"Early he was more of a runner in a run package," Wolfpack defensive coordinator Dave Huxtable said. "Now they're mixing it up more with him running and throwing. But you still have to be ready for the runs with him.
"We've studied them all, we've worked them both, we're conscious of them and we're communicating about it. Now we've got to go out and play and defend it."
So far, at least, the change has provided a spark to an offense that hasn't moved at the same high-scoring pace as last year's record-setting run.
In the first game with Williams taking a larger role behind Renner, the Tar Heels racked up 500 total yards — their best total in a month — in a 27-23 loss to unbeaten Miami. Last weekend's 34-point showing was North Carolina's best output since scoring 40 in the win against Middle Tennessee on Sept. 7. And Williams' mobility has helped ease some of the pressure on an offensive line that lost three players to the NFL draft in April.
"It's been good because it's working," senior tailback A.J. Blue said. "And anytime it's working, you want to continue doing it. It rubs guys the right way. It hasn't rubbed anybody the wrong way from what I can see. As long as it continues to work, I think guys will feel good about it."

At the end of the day, GSP still comes out winning here by a country mile.
Sure, maybe they took his title behind his back and Dana said some dickhead things leading up to GSP's "taking a break", but think of how many buys GSP will be taking from the UFC with his absence.
Couple that with his role in the Captain America sequel, leaving while on top and the utter desperate grovelling at GSP's feet he'd receive upon his return, and the millions of dollars the UFC will be throwing at him(not that he needs it) to get him back.
End of day, they can take his title and treat him unprofessionally upon his exit, but GSP holds all of the fucking cards here and will until he chooses to return(and IF). UFC is losing a lot of business with his absence, he was their biggest draw and can hold them over a barrel.
Again, GSP wins here.
Georges made the UFC tens, if not hundreds of millions for every million they paid him. He's exhausted, done. Why can't he just be allowed to go? Why does anything need to devolve into a pissing contest?
All manner of men came to work for the News: everything from wild young Turks who wanted to rip the world in half and start all over again -- to tired, beer-bellied old hacks who wanted nothing more than to live out their days in peace before a bunch of lunatics ripped the world in half.
Dr. Hunter S. Thompson
The Rum Diary
Yeah, Bye.
Gotta think Dana is really not happy now either in a span of just a few months he's lost GSP and Silva his to two top fighters and both big PPV draws.

An open letter to the honorable Governor Peter Shumlin from the MadDog Chapter of Trout Unlimited.
In the closing hours of preparing this letter to you, we learned of—and certainly applaud—your decision to rescind the emergency stream rules you implemented in the aftermath of Tropical Storm Irene.
While the emergency rules were well intentioned and clamored for by understandably traumatized citizens across the state, their unintended consequences will, over ensuing months and (we fear) years, make themselves known and demand to be addressed—hopefully in an atmosphere of more enlightened science and less turmoil.
That is, in fact, an opportunity we have today.
As an organization that has worked for more than three decades to improve, stabilize and protect Vermont's rivers and tributaries, we have been profoundly distressed by the devastation Irene has visited upon our rivers and upon our friends and neighbors in the towns that share the same floodplains. And we've been equally distressed by the long-term implications of the damage caused by some towns' and individuals' over-zealous responses to it, especially with regard to gravel "extraction."
Unfortunately, its practice was not just allowed but encouraged by you in numerous public forums—and in places has resulted in what can only be described as an orgy of unrestrained assault on our rivers. While many of these actions have been well-intentioned despite their ignorance of riparian geomorphology, others have been transparently opportunistic and callous during a time when Vermonters' overall response to this tragedy has served as a model for the rest of the nation and provided so many shining examples of the very best in human nature.
In Middlebury, for example, gravel was extracted from the Middlebury River even though it suffered no appreciable storm damage. To their credit, alarmed Middlebury citizens finally demanded that the select board both discontinue the practice and repair damage to the affected area. Unfortunately, once done, such damage is not so blithely reversed.
All up and down the Mad River Valley there were similar over-responses, or responses executed with little or no input from ANR. A town administrator admitted allowing gravel removal from a site that had suffered no threat to the infrastructure simply because the town "needed the gravel for the roads." As a result, downstream communities will be an even more highly targeted "event destination" in the next event. Similarly, just south of the same site, where the Mad River as a result now runs straight, wide, deep and has moved upstream very close to Route 100, Sugarbush has amassed a stockpile of more than 45,000 cubic yards of gravel.
Sadly, the gravel that has now silted over so many fields, yards, former roadways and businesses has become a convenient (and to some extent, an understandable) target for our distressed communities. A hue and cry has gone up to dig out the rivers further to simply let the next flood pass on by. But to where? And to the greater peril of whom?
The practical effect of such dredging will be to turn our rivers into Great Escape water parks—from which there will be no escape, "great" or otherwise.
It is unnecessary for us to further reiterate the sound science cited in numerous communications to you in recent days from such organizations as the Friends of Mad River, Friends of the Winooski River, Vermont Natural Resources Council and your own Agency of Natural Resources and many others.
All support the proven science of floodplain and riverbed non-intervention; that channelization increases hydraulic velocity, compromises floodplain ability to help absorb and diminish the severity of flood events; that denuded riverbanks easily collapse and contribute to the general destructive power of such events, before creating even more lasting degradation in the form of deposited silt.
What we do want to reiterate and support to the fullest extent possible are the opportunities for infrastructure improvements, articulated with rare precision by former Commissioner of Fish and Wildlife Wayne Laroche in his September 29, 2011, editorial in the Barre-Montpelier Times Argus.
"Could there be any silver lining in this event? Perhaps there will be if state and town officials have the foresight to consider, choose and use better practices than they have in the past as they repair the flood damage. Band-Aids and replacement of poor designs from the past will only ensure that the next flood brings similar destruction.
"This is a golden opportunity to restore some of the integrity of our stream systems by (emphasis ours) sizing and choosing designs of culverts and bridges to better accommodate high stream flows, as well as fish and wildlife passage. Simply avoiding the channelization of rivers by heavy equipment is a good place to start."
Making a case for the rivers has been difficult in the face of such historic loss and the high emotions understandably generated. Given our organization's mission statement—"To conserve, protect and restore America's cold water fisheries and their watersheds" —public and private responses to such attempts have often been skeptical and patronizing, rife with implications that our only concerns as an organization are elitist and selfishly focused on our leisure-time activities as fishermen.
Yet nothing could be further from the truth. Our primary concerns have always been for the application of sound science that contributes to the natural health of rivers. This is why, for example, our major activities include tree plantings on riverbanks in order to stabilize them against erosion in such events—and in dam removals to allow rivers to breathe freely and meander where they must in order to provide pressure relief valves that are so necessary when flood events occur.
Sound river management practice not only supports healthy fish populations, it also supports a very important economic benefit in today's difficult job markets by the revenue river-related recreational activities bring to the state. Ask any guide, sporting goods business owner or proprietor of the many other ancillary business beneficiaries of river-related recreational activities in the state.
So as we move from emergency response to one of hopefully greater normalcy, saner heads—and an even higher degree of scientifically proven methods—must now prevail. Not just for the protection of the rivers and fish we, as an organization, care about but for the protection and benefit of the people and communities we all care about.
Clark Amadon lives in Moretown and is president of MadDog Chapter Trout Unlimited.

A man wanted in connection with a weekend shooting has been arrested by Georgetown police and the Drug Enforcement Unit. But the man who was shot has also been charged in the case.
Two others have been charged with being accessories to the case.
Georgetown Police Capt. Nelson Brown said Kwamane Edward Smith, 21, of 259 McKenzie Circle, Pawleys Island was found at a Myrtle Beach hotel on Highway 501 and was taken into custody Wednesday afternoon charged with attempted murder.
The shooting happened at about 12:30 a.m. Sunday in Bayview at a home across from the community playground.
Bullet holes pieced the front wall of the home feet away from where children's toys are scattered across the front lawn.
Brown said 39-year-old Mark Ellis was shot in the abdomen and underwent surgery at Georgetown Memorial Hospital.
The Bayview home where the shooting took place is where Smith's girlfriend lives, Brown said.
"The motive for the shooting is believed to be drug related," Brown said.
On Tuesday, Ellis was also charged with attempted murder.
Brown, on Wednesday, confirmed a report by a neighbor that Ellis arrived at the house in a vehicle before the shooting occurred. He said Ellis got out of the car and forced his way inside the house.
Moments later is when multiple shots were fired, the neighbor said.
Brown said Ellis and Smith were firing shots at each other but Smith escaped without injury.
He said Ellis "broke into the house over drugs and money."
According to the charges, after Smith left the house, he was assisted in hiding by Mary Alice Shaluly and Christopher Brown, also of Pawleys Island. Both are charged with harboring a fugitive. Brown is also charged with trafficking in heroin.

Beefed-up support for big loads and ventilating comfort for long hikes.
Built to let fresh air flow between you and the pack, as well as comfortably support heavier loads, the Deuter Futura Pro 42 Backpack keeps you charging on the trail during day hikes or overnight
treks. With a ventilating AirComfort Futura Pro mesh back panel and mesh-covered shoulder straps and hip-belt padding, you won't drown in sweat. The beefed-up suspension system comfortably handles up to 35 pounds of gear, and the padded shoulder straps and hip belt work together to distribute the weight in the right places. The hip belt pivots, following your movements to keep your load balanced on uneven terrain, and the sternum strap prevents the backpack from shifting side-to-side. Compression straps on the sides and hip-belt secure or
reduce the volume of your load so items inside don't move around.
Plenty of pockets allow you keep your gear organized while providing separated spots for smaller or wet items that you don't want intermingling in the main compartment. Trekking pole and ice tool loops on the side of the backpack hold your poles and tools, and you can attach additional tools or carabiners to the loops on the lid.

The Walton County Sheriff's Office has been trying to send a strong message to spring breakers by proactively cracking down on underage drinking, but that hasn't stopped the party.
The beach in front of Whale's Tail was crowded with loud, sun-burnt college students Wednesday afternoon. Some breakers were oblivious to the officers, who were just about 50 feet away arresting young men and women, and some were defiant — snapping posed photos in front of the patrol trucks and hiding drinks in mugs and Starbucks cups. For a 360 degree view of the pile of people, click here.
"Nobody cares," said Ole Miss senior, Brian Tucker, of the police presence. "Everybody will just find a new place to drink."
But those avenues are closing as the Sheriff's Office launches a full frontal assault on lawbreaking co-eds.
A lot of breakers The Sun spoke with were unaware of the party bust March 11 that sent 32 men and women to the Walton County jail for underage drinking, but even after hearing the news, they were determined that the party would go on.
"I'm not underage, but I guess it's kind of scary, because I'm drunk in public," said Danielle Colson from
Sheridan Barrow from the

Those caught drinking underage have the choice between a $250 fine or a notice to appear in court.
"That's kind of an excessive charge," commented Harrison Scofield from
On the beach, deputies walk through the crowds to keep a close eye on the party. If underage drinkers are found, they pull them out of the crowd to their parked trucks, where they pour the alcohol out of mugs in all shapes and colors and fill out paperwork.
Deputy Leo Cook said the Walton County Sheriff's office is doing everything they can to discourage underage drinking and to keep everyone safe.

"That sucks," said Finkleburg after hearing the details.
"I understand why they're doing it," Breland said. "When we were underage we would just pre-game, then go out. That way, you don't get in trouble."
At the very least, spring breakers provide a bit of entertainment.
Parked in beach chairs several feet away from the sardine-packed crowd, a group of family friends enjoy the show.
"My husband and I like to watch the kids," said Melissa LaChapelle, a flight attendant in town from

Question is multiple choice, but every answer leads to Cardinals loss
It almost reads like a multiple choice question gone awry�
Question: In Week 11, the Atlanta Falcons defeated the AZ Cardinals after the Falcons allowed which of the following to occur:
A) A half-dozen turnovers, including 5 INT's by Matt Ryan
B) Getting boo'ed at home (dome-not-so-sweet-dome)
C) Allowing LaRod Stephens-Howling to rush for 127 yds (career high)
D) Sleepwalking thru the first quarter
E) All of the above
Considering that each of the multiple choice options actually took place during a 23-19 win by the Falcons, the correct answer is indeed "all of the above."
"We knew he'd throw us the ball, so it was up to us to just make the plays and make the catches. And we did," Sam Acho said about Matt Ryan during our Cardinals radio network postgame interview on Arizona Sports 620. "Unfortunately, we were one stop too short."
Indeed, the Cards defense held the Falcons offense to just a single touchdown. Stating the ultra-obvious, the Big Red D played well enough to win. And the Cards offense left Atlanta with almost a guilty look on its face.
"It's terrible because of the job that the defense did. On offense, we need to score more points and help them out," LaRod Stephens-Howling bottom-lined after a career-high rushing effort.
The game plan called for the Cards to pump the A-B-S (brakes) in the A-T-L and bring the skidding to a halt. Thing is, that's getting tougher as it's a moving target right now.
"We ran the ball well today, didn't throw it. Last game, we threw the ball well, but didn't run it," head coach Ken Whisenhunt told me after the game. "We have to get a mix where we can do both of them well and move the ball well and make plays."
And if you don't make plays? Effective immediately, it doesn't matter if you're a 5-time Pro Bowler (Adrian Wilson) or the starting quarterback (John Skelton), the gauge has reached zero-tolerance.
"The message this week was that we were going to make changes at different positions and the quarterback isn't exempt from that," Ken Whisenhunt replied when I asked him what prompted replacing John Skelton with rookie Ryan Lindley. "If they're not making enough plays to win then you have to look and see if the next guy can do that�we had some throws early in the game we missed."
In fact, in baseball terms, this latest Cards loss is akin to an at-bat where you strike out swinging�after hitting 5 long drives - foul.
"It really is a game that we should've won. There are some games where you say you should've won and other games where hands down, no question everyone in the locker room and everyone in the stadium knows you should've won that game," Acho said. "That's the toughest part about games like that."
Then I suppose this wouldn't be a good time to mention to Cards defenders that Matt Ryan just became the first quarterback since Green Bay's Bart Starr in 1967 to win a game despite throwing five interceptions and no touchdowns, according to Stats LLC.
"We were kind of sleepwalking thru the first quarter of the football game," Falcons head coach Mike Smith stated. "It shows our resiliency, that's what it shows. We're a very resilient football team that is going to find different ways to win."
Well, the Cards sixth straight loss was, uh, different alright. As in - all of the above.

About 1,500 children who have been relying on free, healthy lunches from the county school system this summer had to find other options last week.
Because many school buildings lacked electricity after the June 29 derecho, Montgomery County Public Schools shut down its free summer meals program on the following Monday and Tuesday, and had to keep it shut down throughout the week in some locations.
As of Friday, one walk-in location still did not have power, according to Erin Kvach, a food service supervisor with the school system.
Although the program does not reach anywhere close to the number of children it could — this school year 32.3 percent of county students, or about 47,000 children, qualified for free and reduced price meals — the impact was still there.
Many families have come to rely on the program for lunch, Kvach said.
"They lost whatever food they had, and not having somewhere to go was a burden," she said.
Needy families have had worse burdens. In February 2010, during the huge snowstorms, schools were closed for a week, said Marla Caplon, the school system's director of food and nutrition services.
"Not that being hungry is OK for one day, at all," Caplon said.
If the power would have been out for longer, Caplon said she would have looked to alternatives, such as setting up drop sites to provide food, as the school system did during the snow storms.
"We apologize," Caplon said, regarding having to shut down temporarily. "It is our commitment to feed the kids in Montgomery County."
The free meals program is a federal program, so the school receives reimbursement from the federal government for each meal served.
About 9,000 children will be fed through the program this summer. Free meals are offered at about 114 sites throughout the county, some of them schools, some community centers or other buildings. At 13 of the sites, anyone under 18 is allowed a free meal, no registration required.
The school system is working hard to increase participation in the program, through outreach with the help of a county and school system partnership called Linkages to Learning and nonprofit Share our Strength, Kvach said. Seven walk-in sites opened for the first time this year; there were only six last year.
The school system sent out fliers to students in English and Spanish, posted them in libraries, food banks and other community locations, Caplon said.
In 2011, the school system served 112,255 breakfasts and 155,822 lunches during 50 summer days.
To qualify as a walk-in location, a building must meet requirements for meal preparation, distribution and accountability, have proper capacity and logistics, offer educational, cultural and/or recreational activities, provide supervision and other monitoring and training, maintain proper sanitary conditions, and keep daily records. Also, more than 50 percent of the schoolchildren in the area must qualify for free or reduced price meals. At least one volunteer is needed to run the program, Kvach said.
Although most sites are schools, they don't have to be. Global Pediatrics, a doctor's office in Takoma Park is offering the program this summer.
Kvach visited Fox Chapel Elementary School in Germantown on Friday, a walk-in site that the school system added this year.
"When you go to these sites and talk to the parents and kids, you see the need," she said.
About 70 children on average eat a meal on weekdays at Fox Chapel, said Diana L. Zabetakis, the school's principal.
That number of visits is high for a first-year site, but Zabetakis wants many more to come. More than half of Fox Chapel students qualify to receive free or reduced priced meals, she said.
"It makes a difference because when they eat, that is one less thing they have to worry about," Zabetakis said.
To recruit families to the program at Fox Chapel, Zabetakis said school staff drove around the neighborhood and talked to people, passed out fliers, and used Connect Ed, a phone message system.
Ronica Gravette, who lives near Fox Chapel Elementary, took her daughter, niece and grandson to get lunch at the school on Friday.
She said the program is nice for her family, not just because it's a free meal, but also because the children get to see their friends and get something to do during the day.
Fox Chapel puts on a movie, and a book swap lets children continue reading through the summer.
"We want to feed the mind, body and soul," said Sherry Moses, the school's assistant principal. "We want to jump on the fact that we can increase learning over the summer."
Gravette's daughter said the lunch — a peanut butter, meat or cheese sandwich with a side and drink — was the "perfect" meal, just like one they would have at home.

ELKIN - With the state playoffs tipping off this week, four area hoops squads received berths in their respective brackets, the North Carolina High School Athletic Association announced Saturday.
On the boys side, Elkin and Starmount were awarded slots in the 1A and 2A postseason, respectively. On the girls side, East Wilkes and Forbush punched their ticket to the 1A and 2A playoffs, respectively.
The Buckin' Elks, fresh off a Mountain Valley Conference regular-season championship and a second-place finish in the conference tournament last week, earned the No. 3 seed in the 1A state playoffs.
Elkin will open its title run at home against familiar Northwest Conference foe East Surry tonight.
The Cardinals swept two regular-season meetings between the squads, including a 67-57 victory in Pilot Mountain in January. East finished the year with a 15-10 mark.
Starmount used a strong second-half run to advance to the conference tourney semifinals last week and captured the No. 10 seed in the 2A bracket.
The Rams kick off the playoffs tonight on the road against seventh-seeded Piedmont. The Panthers finished the season at 20-5 and 11-3 in the Rocky River Conference.
East Wilkes earned the 11th-seed in the girls bracket after claiming the final 1A slot from the conference.
The Lady Cardinals will open against Wilkes County neighbor West Wilkes tonight on the road. The Blackhawks swept the regular-season matchups with both wins coming by double-figures.
Forbush rounds out the local teams in the playoffs, capturing the No. 14 seed in the 2A state bracket.
The Lady Falcons tip off the postseason tonight on the road against third-seeded Thomasville. The Bulldogs powered their way to a second-place finish in the Central Carolina Conference at 18-5 and 8-2.
The other four area squads - Elkin and Starmount girls, and East Wilkes and Forbush boys - missed the cut for their respective playoffs. After not receiving postseason berths, the high school careers of senior leaders Heaven Walters of Starmount and Avery Wallis of East Wilkes came to an end.
According to the NCHSAA, first-round games are tentatively scheduled for 7:00 p.m. tonight, unless changed by the schools.

What species of flatworm?

Moderators: Leslie Harris, nwscubamom
2 posts • Page 1 of 1
Found this guy when I was turning over rocks around a little wreck in about 54 ft on the west side of Palos Verdes penninsula. It moved very fast and disappeared after a few moments down a hole in the rock. It didn't seem to have the rhinophore like protrusions most of the flatworms I've seen have.

it looks a little bit like this Enchiridium punctatum I found in the Southern California underwater field guide, but it doesn't look like an exact match.

Jeanne loves animals, especially dogs and cats. She has a dachshund named Chester who likes to eat shoes. Some of her other favorite things are reading, baking, and taking walks. It's hard for her to pick a favorite book, but she enjoys funny books, mystery books and books about history. At the moment she is working on discovering her family tree and thinking of new things to try (most recently glass blowing and white water rafting).

Bluegill anglers had their best luck fishing deeper structure in 18-30 feet, near the bottom. A No.8 hook with a giant redworm, leafworm, waxworm, small leech or a piece of nightcrawler worked best for live bait. A drop-shot rig or a slip-bobber rig is the best way to present these baits in deep-water situations. Vertical jigging a small jigging spoon or a 1/32-ounce jig dressed with live bait or a plastic tail also produced.
Perch were active along weed lines in 10-20 feet, near the bottom. Vertical jigging a 1/32-ounce jig or jigging spoon baited with a waxworm, spike or giant redworm produced.
Crappies were found suspended along outside weed lines or over deep water. Drifting or casting using a 1/32-ounce jig dressed with a small fathead minnow, waxworm or 2-inch plastic tail worked well.
Largemouth bass fishing was great on the area lakes. For shallow-water locations such as piers, overhanging trees and inside weed lines, use wacky worms, tubes or pre-rigged worms. Plastic frogs have taken fish from the slop. Mid-depth weeds can be fished using swim jigs, jig-and-craw chunk combos, spinner baits, square-bill crank baits or top-water baits. Anglers fishing deep weed lines had their best luck using Texas-rigged plastics, jig worms, skirted grubs, tube jigs or deep-diving crank baits. A medium golden shiner, nightcrawler or leech fished on a live-bait rig or a slip-bobber rig works best for live bait.
Smallmouth bass action was best near breaks or rocks in 15-25 feet. Dragging a tube jig, drop-shot rig, football jig-and-skirted grub or a Lindy rig with a leech or small sucker will work best. Popper-style top-water baits or flukes have produced during morning and evening.
Northern pike were found near structure and baitfish in 18-25 feet. A small sucker on a slip-sinker rig with a circle hook and fluorocarbon leader will work best. Vertical jigging a 3/8-ounce hair jig with a large golden shiner also works excellent. Many smaller pike can be caught casting spinner baits, chatter baits, Mepps spinners, buzz baits or lipless crank baits over weed flats.
Walleye fishing was spotty, especially during the hot sunny days with no wind. Low light conditions will be your best times to target walleyes. Try fishing the weed edges using a weedless jig baited with half a nightcrawler or leech. Trolling with live bait on spinner rigs with bottom bouncers or minnow-style crank baits has produced.
Muskies were most active along deep weedlines or structure in 18-45 feet. Trolling deep-diving crank baits will be your best option. Rock bars adjacent to weeds will also hold fish this time of year. Target them using bucktails, spinner baits or weedless spoons. Top-water baits have produced during night and early morning.
Catfish have been caught from the Rock, Fox and Crawfish rivers, along with lakes Mendota and Koshkonong. Nightcrawlers, cut-up suckers and stink bait worked best.
Becky Smith
This week continues with more of the same as we have experienced for the past three weeks: slow action and scattered fish from top to bottom.
Trollers continue to catch a few fish with little or no pattern. Most of the activity is on the north shore from depths of 80 feet out to more than 200 feet. It's a very mixed bag of king salmon, coho, steelhead and a few lake trout. Spoons are attracting the bigger kings, but overall, dodgers and flies are catching a larger variety of fish. Full lead cores and dipseys are covering the 30-50-foot depths with down-riggers working the 50-80-foot depths. Almost all of the catches have come from pre-dawn till just after sunrise or the last hour of daylight in the evening
Shore fishing has been very slow. The only action has been very early in the morning where an occasional brown trout has been taken. The McKinley break wall or any of the deeper harbor areas are about the only possibilities for trout right now. One of the biggest problems is that we seem to have lost our bait fish population temporarily. Till the alewives return, things will be slow. The river under the Hoan Bridge is about the only area with alewives, but the water temperature in the river is too warm for trout right now. Shore anglers need some west winds for things to improve.
With the warmer water temps, the perch action has picked up just a little. There are a few being caught at McKinley, the river under the Hoan, Russell Ave. and the South Shore pier. For boaters, the boils off South Milwaukee are also good. Small minnows, jigging spoons, jigs tipped with small Gulp minnows or a piece of crawfish tail are the best bets. Use light lines and fish early or late in the day.
Smallmouths are also a possibility in the harbor. They have been found along the base of seawalls or along any of the rock and rubble shoreline. Most of them are caught by accident while perch fishing so small minnows are good for the bass as well. Jigging spoons are great for checking out vertical seawall. Rocky shorelines are best fished with goby-imitating jigs or a slip float and leech. These bass are finicky and early mornings and evenings are the best for the bass as well.

RONDA - Starmount pulled out a hard-fought 54-53 victory over East Wilkes Tuesday night, likely avoiding regular-season champion Elkin in the first-round of the Mountain Valley Conference tournament next week.
In a battle of 5-9 squads, the Rams withstood a furious Cardinal comeback to pick up the all-important victory to likely bypass the Buckin' Elks in the opening game of the tourney.
The teams traded hoops in a back-and-forth opening half as East grabbed a 17-16 lead at the end of one. The Cardinals pushed their advantage out to 28-25 at the break.
But the Rams turned up their defensive pressure in the third, limiting East to just seven points in the frame, jumping out to 43-35 lead at the end of three.
The Cards responded with a charge in the fourth, eventually tying the game at 52-52 late in the frame on a Chandler Bare layup with 21 ticks remaining.
Luke Shore drew a foul and hit both shots from the free throw line to give Starmount a 54-52 bump.
Avery Wallis was hacked on a drive to the basket with 0.3 seconds on the clock, heading to the line with a chance to tie the game. But the senior missed the first shot, forcing an intentional miss on the second attempt.
Wallis banked the shot in as the Rams inbounded the ball in and sealed the crucial one-point victory.
Shore powered Starmount with 18 points and seven rebounds on the night, while freshman Kyler Gregory came up big with 16 points and seven boards. James Ashley tacked on 10 points.
Wallis recorded a game-high 24 points to lead the Cardinals, while Bare and McKinley Johnson tacked on 10 points apiece.
With the win, the Rams (6-9) mixed up the conference standings heading into the final night of the regular season.
Starmount, Alleghany and West Wilkes all sit in the fourth spot at 6-9, while East Wilkes, Forbush and Ashe County are 5-10 with one game remaining.
Both squads return to action tonight for Senior Night, with the Rams hosting North Wilkes and East welcoming Alleghany to town.
