It's the perfect recipe. Take 13 of the best and brightest chefs in a foodie-town and pair them up with Louie's Kids children from various programs, who are either battling obesity or just trying to get or stay in shape. Then sit back with a glass of wine and watch the healthy (and delicious) food fly.
That's exactly what to expect from the fifth annual Piggly Wiggly Little Chef, Big Chef event on Thursday, June 13 at the South Carolina Aquarium. The culinary competition raises funds for Louie's Kids, a national nonprofit that helps treat childhood obesity as well as helps kids live a healthier more productive life in programs like RunBuddies. Event guests will have a chance to taste all 13 collaborative creations and vote for their favorite Big Chef, Little Chef duo.
Louis Yuhasz, founder of Louie's Kids, looks forward to Little Chef, Big Chef each year. "These kids desperately need to learn how to make food that is both nutritious and affordable," said Yuhasz. "This event does just that in a fun and memorable way."
This year's scrumptious affair, presented by SYSCO and IKON Financial Group, features an all-star chef line up sure to leave your mouth-watering, including last year's winner: Nico Romo of FISH.
2013 Piggly Wiggly Little Chef, Big Chef participants:
Nico Romo, FISH
Marc Collins, Circa 1886
Cary Zapatka, Square Onion
Craig Deihl, Cypress
John Zucker, Cru Café
Ben Berryhill, Red Drum
John Ondo, Lana Restaurant
Michelle Weaver, Charleston Grill
Ken Vedrinski, Trattoria
Lucca Jeremiah Bacon, The Macintosh
Forest Parker, Old Village Post House
Kevin Johnson, The Grocery
Nate Whiting, Tristan
Little Chef, Big Chef not only benefits the participants from Louie's Kids, but also the chefs, who are able to make a difference in the life of a child they may have otherwise never had the opportunity to meet. Mike Lata of Fig, who cooked in last year's competition, told Yuhasz Big Chef, Little Chef was one of the best events Fig participated in all year.
Chef Forest Parker of Old Village Post House in Mount Pleasant said, "I'm excited to represent Maverick Southern Kitchens and our relationship with Louie's Kids. It's easy to make poor food choices when constantly surrounded by all the temptations of the Lowcountry. My hope is that my Little Chef, Ashlyn, and I can offer each other some inspiration in our partnership. It's a real win-win!"
Tickets are available for $65 in advance, or $75 day of, and include beer provided by Southern Eagle and Palmetto Brewery and wine. Advance tickets can be purchased at all Charleston area Piggly Wiggly stores or online at Louieskids.org. Purchasing tickets early is strongly encouraged, as space is limited and this event sells out.

Great system, Great sound
Reviewed By Kevin B (Randleman, NC) Reviewed for a 2013 Kia Optima —12/5/2014 5:26 AM
Great sound and added throtle response. Straight bolt on application to my 2013 Kia Optima SXL. Couldn't be happier with the purchase.
Reviewed By Talia S (Woodstock, GA) Reviewed for a 2009 Audi A4 —1/11/2015 8:07 AM
Because of the vented tips the sound of my turbo spooling has a higher tone giving it a supercharger sound. It is quiet when it needs to be but still has a nice deep tone that I love! Would Buy again... I may end up buying two more later and doing quad tips

Energetics of New World Herbs – Part 2
In my last blog entry I addressed the ideas of the western, biochemical approach to the study of herbs, vs. an energetic approach. Again, I am not saying that the biochemical, analytic approach is wrong, but just that it is incomplete. Additionally I am saying that the tradition of energetics as a pragmatic method (based […] [Read More]
Energetics of New World Herbs – Part 1
One of the concepts that has sadly gone missing from the world of western herbology, is the idea of "energetics." Instead what has happened, is that the current western medical approach of symptomatic, reductionist mechanics has been applied to herbs. This has led to the result that new world herbs (North American Herbs) in western […] [Read More]
Survival Racing… Using Pentathlon Ideas
Last week I got to volunteer as a timer in the shooting portion of the Olympic Pentathalon trials being held here in San Antonio – at the Russell Equestrian Center (where my daughter trains and rides).

The Human Path – Explanation of Core Classes
The primary concept behind The Human Path is to bring people closer to the earth and closer to self-awareness, thereby helping lead the "organism of humanity" to more sanity (and survival as a species) in the way we live.

Natural Fitness using Trees
Back to the subject of functional fitness, there is another great training accessory out there pretty much everywhere you look (unless you live in N. Texas or the desert): Trees. Here in the hill country, there is a tree that is far and away the best exercise tree I have ever seen. It is the […] [Read More]
Fire: The Hand Drill
There are several ways to start a fire without using matches or modern tools. Examples of this include: Fire plows, fire pistons, bow drills and hand drills as well as numerous variations on each of those methods. Bow drills are the friction fire tools that many are familiar with, and for good reason. They are […] [Read More]
Winter Solstice – Part 2
As sort of an end-of-the year perspective on things, I feel that the subject of winter solstice and our connection with our planet merits a 2-part blog entry.

Winter Solstice and our Connection – Part 1
Blessed Solstice to All.

Rope Undulation Workouts
I remember a pivotal moment in my life about 20 years ago, and believe it or not, it actually has a lot to do with the topic of this blog entry. 2-inch rope. The thicker the rope, the better a forearm workout you will get. I was about 25, and had already been in the […] [Read More]
Selection and Care of a Good Knife
If you were going into a remote, wilderness setting and had your choice of only one "primitive" tool to take with you other than the clothes on your back, then that item should unquestionably be a knife.

We caught up with Vera Fried, Darren Aronofsky's sixth grade teacher who inspired him to become a writer, who explained how she inspired the director Darren Aronfsky.
Vera even gets a cameo in the film. She's a real character:
Did you remember Darren as a student?
-I had 2,000 students and they were very bright. They were the best and the brightest, maybe because they had me to push them into being the best and brightest. Darren wrote a poem (was inspired by Noah and it won an award from the United Nations) when he was in my class and when he won the contest I handed back the pages and said, 'Dedicate your first book to me kid.' That's what he said in his first email. He said, 'Now I never became a real writer, just a movie maker and film writer but I did do a comic book and I dedicated it to you. I expected Archie and Veronica and I get this 12 x 15 Japanese anime book in French because that's where it was published and it says, 'Dedicated to Madame Fried, my sixth grade teacher who gave me the desire to write.' I figure it doesn't get any better than that but then it got better because he invited me to the set. Everyone said, 'We're so happy to see you Vera' and the only one calling me Mrs. Fried was Darren because he can't say Vera. I told my friend what happened and she said, 'You're a storyteller, you're making this up.' I said, 'Yeah? Come with me,' and the next day she came with me and then he said, 'Do you want to be in the movie?' I said, 'Yes!!' I play a crone. He said, 'Remember you made me dress up as Benedict Arnold in the sixth grade? Well now we're even.' A one-eyed ugly crone, it was wonderful.
I'm absolutely thrilled with what Darren has done for teachers. I'm on an active campaign to get everyone to call their favorite teacher because it made me feel so wonderful.It also gave me a lot of stuff to tell stories about. The first time I told a story about Darren I won a haircut and $25 because I told it at a storytelling fair.
You know how he found me? He sent his grandmother to a Hadassah meeting in Brooklyn because I had moved to Florida and she stood there and said, 'Does anybody know Vera Fried?' and my friend Jean from Florida said, 'There's a kid looking for you,' and I said, 'Give him my email.' He searched me down. It meant a lot. I'll never have an experience like this in my life.
And Alec's little brother walked the carpet with his two daughters…but he was NO VERA!
You're born again. These faith-based movies must make you happy.
It's interesting because I have experienced in the last six to eight years probably a little push back from mainstream Hollywood about my perception and being outspoken in the media about my Christian faith. It's interesting that the content is coming back around and we're seeing a surge in faith-based Christian filmmaking. It's been a blessing for me in the last couple of years.

Video:Top Places to Go With Kids in DCwith Haley Lesavoy
Want to learn about great places to go with kids in DC? Here, see tips for visiting the nation's capital with children.See Transcript
Transcript:Top Places to Go With Kids in DC
DC is not only a great place for those in the work force or college students, But it's a great place for kids as well. I'm Haley Lesavoy for About.com and today we're going to show you the five best places for kids in DC.
First Idea for Places to Go With Kids in DC
Up first we have the Washington National Zoo. And with over 400 different species it's a must see for kids and adults alike. Because it's part of the Smithsonian institution, admission to the zoo is free and in order to get there the closest metro stop is Woodly Park on the redline. If you wan't to make sure to see all of the animals make sure to set aside a couple of hours and if you want to beat the crowds the best times to go are early in the day or after 2pm.
Second Idea for Places to Go With Kids in DC
Up next you have to check out the sights of Georgetown. Whether it be shopping or restaurants, it has a limitless amount of options for kids. You can sit down and grab a quick bite to eat or even have a nice family dinner there. And After dinner you can go to the water front where they have boats and kayaks you can rent to go out on the Potomac or you can even walk around and check out the sights by foot.
Third Idea for Places to Go With Kids in DC
Another great place for kids is Washington's National Stadium. The new world-class stadium opened in 2008 and games go on throughout the entire summer. So if you're here on a family vacation make sure to check it out because it's a great way to enjoy America's favorite pastime.
Fourth Idea for Places to Go With Kids in DC
DC is home to plenty of fun and interactive museums so if you want to get out of the heat and into some air conditioning, we're about to provide you with a list of places you can go. Among our favorites are the Air and Space museum, The Newseum, The Spy Museum and Madame Tussauds Wax museum. All of these are extremely hands on, and are a great way for kids to explore DC and learn a little bit as well.
Fifth Idea for Places to Go With Kids in DC
No trip to DC is complete without seeing the National Mall or the Washington Monument. If you want to get a birds eye view of the entire city you can actually go to the top of the Washington Monument. Where you can see everything from The White House to the Lincoln Memorial. Tickets are free and available starting at 8:30 am so it's best to get there early. Or if you want to purchase tickets in advance you can do that for $1.50 online.
So there you have it. Those are our picks for the top 5 places for kids in DC.
I'm Haley Lesavoy for About.com and we hope you enjoy your visit.

About Me Intermediate
Comments about K2 Darkstar Snowboard 2011:
I will start out by saying this is not a beginner board. Even if you have the basics down, don't think your just going to snap in and shred. Its a lot like driving a sports car(a real one). The moment you get cocky and do something reckless, don't expect to be saved. Aside from the learning curve, it turns on a dime and is a satisfying ride. Great bang for buck for another deck.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I really enjoy this board. It's my first one and I'm really happy with how it rides.
Great board for a great price!

This product is sick, for a sub 200 board I got all that I wanted and much more. Looks great, feels great, good board for me to start this season with.
buttery and sophisticated.

About Me Advanced
K2 darkstar flatline tech is awesome. A perfect balance between rocker and camber. Perfect for all mountain use.
Really solid board to start on
By Emmett Fitz-Hume
from Vancouver, BC
I just started riding this season, used friends old equipment for the first few times out, did a lil renting and bought this based on recommendations.Turns out to be extremely light, easy to manuever, smooth riding with good pop.I would definately recommend this as a good all around board for beginners,it seems like i'll be able to use this for a long time without needing to upgrade.
what a good lookin' board
By StyxnStones7
from western mass
a surprisingly light and flexible, scratches real easy but a real good lookin' board. big fan of the true twin too
Awesome board!
By V spot
from San Francisco, CA
Bought this to use as my short board for a more playful ride and I sure made the right choice! Paired the board with Flux SF45 bindings and man it was super nimble. Holds a great edge when charging hard and has really good pop. It's a little stiff but flex is probably medium overall, soft enough to press but not the best butter board. Great in the fluffy stuff, tip floats great! Super fast and stable, glides the cat walks with ease! The only bad thing is the sidewalls near the tip and tail damage easy because they are tapered. Totally recommend this board to anyone! Great board!
Good board... Good price!
By Britt brown
from OH
The board is amazing! Fast and responsive. I rode a burton before buying this board and I'm now a huge fan of K2. This thing has got some speed to it! If your looking for the next level board this is it!
Top Notch
By Brosideon
from Elkins, WV
used it for some great allmountain freeride. let me tell you, it does NOT get better than the flatline tech of K2
Pretty Awesome
By Shaun White's [*]
Sick Design,very light weight, and makes for a very good ride.
Great Park Board
By Bubbles
from Snocompton
About Me Expert
For the park rider you will find it's a little bit stiff for pressing but not overly stiff. Good for jumps, qp's, and hitting rails/boxes with any speed.

College to Dedicate Torrey Tennis Complex on November 1
From the Office of Advancement
Brunswick, GA – Bill Torrey and his late wife, Marta, will be recognized for their long-standing support of the College and the new athletic programs with the dedication of the Torrey Tennis Complex on Friday, November 1. The ceremony will be held at 4 p.m. at the tennis courts, located on campus adjacent to the Coffin Gymnasium, Campus Center and Student Activities Center. The public is invited.
Marta Bender Torrey was a passionate tennis player who enjoyed participating in the game well into her seventies, frequently traveling to New York in September to witness the U.S. Open Tennis Tournament. Bill Torrey has served on the College Foundation Board of Trustees for more than three decades, including terms as chairman during the tenures of three College presidents. Mrs. Torrey was the devoted mother of two children, William F. Torrey III and Elisabeth Torrey Ansley, as well as an enthusiastic duplicate bridge player and an artist of note. One of her paintings, "Orange Bouquet," is displayed in the College's permanent collection.
In 2012, Torrey endowed a women's tennis scholarship at the College in memory of his wife.

The original TrekAmerica way - camp your way across the continent. Don't worry if you've never camped before, it's brilliant! Camping is the original all-American outdoor adventure - nothing beats sitting around the campfire toasting s'mores and talking about your day with your Trek mates.
Most of our Trekkers come back and say that camping was one of the highlights of their trip. American and Canadian campsites aren't like pitching a tent in your garden - most have showers and laundry facilities, and sometimes even swimming pools and Jacuzzis! And when the weather's good there's sometimes no need for the tent at all - you can bring your sleeping bag out into the open and sleep under a blanket of stars.
Where you'll lay your head
All the campgrounds we stay at are selected for either their scenic beauty or their convenience to the places you'll explore. Many campgrounds are situated close to National Parks or on beaches so you can get back to nature and see the parts of America not seen by other tourists. Showers, laundromats, shops and swimming pools are commonplace and most camping trips have nights at hotels or hostels in cities included in the tour price, so you can stay right in the heart of the action.
Lodging nights
Most camping trips have nights at hotels or hostels in cities included in the tour price, so you can stay right in the heart of the action when you're in these iconic cities. On lodging nights you'll simply need to drop your bags, freshen up and you're ready to go and explore.
All equipment is provided (except a sleeping bag!)
On camping tours we provide all the necessary equipment including high quality tents, a padded roll mat to sleep on, camp lights, food storage containers and cooking equipment. All you need to bring is a sleeping bag! Our high quality tents are very easy to set up and take down on your own, and your leader will show you how. We camp with two in each spacious tent, which leaves more than enough room for your luggage. Home sweet home!
It's all about teamwork
An essential part of your camping tour is helping with the day to day camp duties. With guidance from your tour leader, the team spirit makes the chores easy and enjoyable. From setting up camp in the evening to breaking it down in the morning, and unloading the vehicle to shopping for food and preparing group meals, you'll be part of the team.
Food Kitty
We've made it easy to keep an eye on what could be one of the biggest expenses of your trip - food! If everyone bought breakfast, lunch and dinner separately each day, you're looking at one heck of a bill at the end of your trip. We make the most of our group buying power with the Food Kitty. On camping trips, everyone contributes $10 a day towards food for the group which usually covers 3 meals a day for the days spent camping.
We buy fresh meat, fruit and vegetables as we go and cook together, sharing the cooking and camp duties. We find it's a great way to eat fresh, healthy food at an unbeatable price and with little waste, and as we're buying our own foods it's easy to cater for everyone's needs and tastes. Occasionally we'll eat at a restaurant, each paying our own way and enjoy local specialities - Mexican tacos, chilli dogs, pretzels and deep pan pizzas.

Lopsided loss to Tulsa still lingers
HUNTINGTON -- It was a game every Marshall University football player wanted to forget, but none could.
The only thing whipping harder than the wind on Nov. 12, 2011, in Tulsa, Okla., was the Tulsa Golden Hurricane whipping Marshall on the field.
It was a 59-17 loss that dropped the Thundering Herd to 4-6 on the season and pushed the team to a breaking point.
As Marshall prepares for its 3:30 p.m. Homecoming contest against Tulsa on Saturday at Joan C. Edwards Stadium, memories of last season's painful trek to Tulsa linger.
"The thing I remember most about that game is that when one thing went wrong, we turned on each other a little bit," Marshall defensive end Jeremiah Taylor said. "We had guys injured that game, things just kept piling on one after another and we just couldn't recover."
The game itself was wild in nature.
The wind stayed steady at beyond 20 mph with gusts upward of 40 mph. It was so strong that Tulsa won the toss and deferred the kickoff in both halves so the Golden Hurricane could have the wind advantage.
It worked, as Marshall's passing offense was derailed in the strong wind. The Herd was forced to go one-dimensional on first and second down, running the ball with Travon Van and Tulsa loaded up the box to stop the run.
Once forced into passing situations on third-and-long, the Golden Hurricane defense teed off, sending the house on several occasions and eventually knocking out Marshall starter A.J. Graham.
It ended up being Graham's last snaps in a Marshall uniform as Rakeem Cato took over and started the rest of the season.
Cato remembers the game well.
"We couldn't run anything," Cato said. "Their whole defense had the system. They had a quarterback that was here the year before who went there as a grad assistant (Press Taylor, quarterbacks coach). He knew the whole system and they knew everything we were doing. They were calling it out as a defense when we'd line up."
The result was a 42-3 halftime deficit that left the Herd reeling both on the field and on the sideline.
Marshall was coming off a bye week and had defeated UAB, 59-14, in its previous outing.
It certainly wasn't the expected result and the quick change of events got the best of the Herd.
"It was such a bad day for us, man," Marshall wide receiver Aaron Dobson said. "Our players were snapping on each other. Everybody just wasn't vibing out there."
While the game is something players won't forget, it also served as a wake-up call. The Herd followed the loss with three straight wins to end the season, including a 20-10 victory over Florida International in the Beef O'Brady's Bowl.
The results of that 2011 contest mean little to the 2012 season, but it doesn't mean Herd players have exactly pushed it out of their minds.
"We have to make sure that we do our job -- come in and make it miserable for them," Taylor said.
Much like a Thunder-storm.

The Daily Beast reports Democrats are beginning to seriously regret choosing President Obama over Hillary Clinton in 2008 – and who can blame them after the president's performance today and during the last few weeks? Throughout the debt ceiling debate, Obama has regularly swooped in to play "referee" between Republican and Democratic lawmakers but has shied away from proposing any serious debt-cutting plans of his own.
Today, Obama once again blamed partisan gridlock for blocking progress, while refusing to acknowledge any personal fault. He claimed he's been aware of the severity of the debt problem since his first day in office. So why has he done practically nothing so far to address it? If Republicans hadn't taken up the debt ceiling fight, does anyone actually believe Obama would have taken any serious steps to deal with the deficit crisis?
The president conceded today that "moderate" entitlement reform has to take place. If he's known that to be true, then why hasn't he been spearheading it? And why have his policies only added to the entitlement problem since taking office? Instead of showing leadership, Obama has tried to play the role of the impartial mediator. He offers blame for both sides but few solutions. And when his proposals fail, he ducks responsibility.
Instead of bringing both parties together, this finger pointing has only added to the antagonism between the two sides. In the process, Obama has also lost the trust of his fellow Democrats, who resent him for trying to shift his share of the blame for the gridlock onto them.
It's no wonder disgusted Democrats have started whispering about a primary challenger to Obama. After all, if he's done this much damage to the party's brand in three years, imagine what he can do in eight.

Next week is Teen Read Week, an annual celebration put together by the American Library Association which aims to celebrate teens reading. This year's theme is "Picture This," and focuses on the intersection of art and image with writing. To go along with that theme, here's an idea for a display -- books that feature photography or characters who are photographers themselves. All images and descriptions are courtesy of WorldCat, and you are welcome to borrow this list and use it. If you have other books that fit the theme, drop a comment. For list purposes, I've limited myself to fiction titles.

'That's my mom!' gasps Marissa. Saturated self-portrait: Blake, nice guy, class clown, always trying to get a laugh, not sure where to focus. Contrast. Shannon, Blake's GF. Total. Babe. Marissa, just a friend and fellow photographer. Shannon loves him; Marissa needs him. How is he supposed to frame them both in one shot?
All You Get is Me by Yvonne Prinz: Almost sixteen-year-old city-transplant Aurora must adapt to life on an organic farm as she navigates an eventful summer when she falls in love, discovers that her mother has left for good, and watches her father take a bold stand in defense of the rights of undocumented Mexican farm workers. Aurora takes photographs throughout the story, developing them in a broken down shed.
Fall For Anything by Courtney Summers: As she searches for clues that would explain the suicide of her successful photographer father, Eddie Reeves meets the strangely compelling Culler Evans who seems to know a great deal about her father and could hold the key to the mystery surrounding his death.
Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs: After a family tragedy, Jacob feels compelled to explore an abandoned orphanage on an island off the coast of Wales, discovering disturbing facts about the children who were kept there. This book makes use of photographs to tell the story.
The Tension of Opposites by Kristina McBride: Sixteen-year-old Tessa, a budding photographer, has been living in suspended animation since her best friend was kidnapped at the age of fourteen, and when she suddenly returns, both of them, along with the people they love, must deal with the emotional aftermath of the terrible ordeal.
Exposed by Kimberly Marcus: High school senior Liz, a gifted photographer, can no longer see things clearly after her best friend accuses Liz's older brother of a terrible crime.
A Little Friendly Advice by Siobhan Vivian: When Ruby's divorced father shows up unexpectedly on her sixteenth birthday, the week that follows is full of confusing surprises, including discovering that her best friend has been keeping secrets from her, her mother has not been truthful about the past, and life is often complicated. Ruby gets a Polaroid camera for her birthday, which plays into the plot.
Snap by Carol Snow: When fifteen-year-old Madison's parents, who are having problems, bring her to a seedy beachside town, she relies on some quirky new friends for help figuring out how her camera is taking pictures of people who are not there, and who later suffer tragedies.
Sources of Light by Margaret McMullan: Fourteen-year-old Samantha and her mother move to Jackson, Mississippi, in 1962 after her father is killed in Vietnam, and during the year they spend there Sam encounters both love and hate as she learns about photography from a new friend of her mother's and witnesses the prejudice and violence of the segregationists of the South.
Through Her Eyes by Jennifer Archer: Sixteen-year-old photographer Tansy is used to moving every time her mother starts writing a new book, but in the small Texas town where her grandfather grew up, she is lured into the world of a troubled young man whose death sixty years earlier is shrouded in mystery.
Born Confused by Tanuja Desai Hidier: Seventeen-year-old Dimple, whose family is from India, discovers that she is not Indian enough for the Indians and not American enough for the Americans, as she sees her hypnotically beautiful, manipulative best friend taking possession of both her heritage and the boy she likes.
Rain is Not My Indian Name by Cynthia Leitich Smith: Tired of staying in seclusion since the death of her best friend, a fourteen-year-old Native American girl takes on a photographic assignment with her local newspaper to cover events at the Native American summer youth camp.

The biggest-ever combination of two South Carolina banks will be decided today at investor meetings in North Charleston and Columbia.
Merger metrics
What the combined SCBT-First Federal would look like:
Customers: 608,809
Employees: 2,349
Branches: 147 in South Carolina, North Carolina and Georgia
Total stock value: More than $1.3 billion based upon SCBT's closing price Tuesday of $54.84
Total assets: $8.2 billion
Deposits: $6.7 billion
Loans: $5.9 billion
Source: SCBT Financial Corp.
Shareholders of First Financial Holdings Inc. and SCBT Financial Corp. who haven't already sent in their ballots can gather at 2 p.m. to vote on the previously announced stock swap.
The tally will be finalized by early Friday, when both companies release their quarterly earnings, said Robert Hill, chief executive officer of Columbia-based SCBT.
Hill, who would be CEO of the combined banks, said Tuesday that support for the merger "is exceptionally strong from both shareholder bases."
First Financial Holdings is the owner of First Federal, the largest and oldest bank based in the region. It, like SCBT, traces its roots back to the Great Depression.
The two lenders announced a plan earlier this year to merge through a stock swap to accelerate their growth, cut their costs and further expand their reach through acquisitions. The deal brings together a pair of community banks that opened their doors in the early 1930s, when First Federal set up shop on Broad Street in downtown Charleston and SCBT was founded in Orangeburg.
Under the terms of the merger, First Financial investors will receive 0.4237 of a share of SCBT for each one they exchange.
The stock of both companies has climbed since the deal was announced Feb. 20. Tuesday's closing prices put the value of the tax-free swap at $384 million, up 27 percent in the past five months.
SCBT, a growth-minded company that has expanded into North Carolina and Georgia in recent years, is the buyer. It expanded into the Charleston region in 2006 and has opened five branches.
The deal would pair SCBT's operations in the Midlands and along the Interstate 85 business corridor between Charlotte and Atlanta with First Federal's large presence along the coast.
The nuts and bolts of the merger will take most of 2014 to complete, Hill said. Customers should not notice any changes for a year.
The deal calls for the surviving parent company to be called First Financial Holdings, but the stock will continue to trade under the SCBT ticker symbol.
Hill said the new name that eventually will grace the nearly 150 bank branches hasn't been decided.
"I think by the end of the year we'll announce the name," he said.
An undetermined number of office closings and job cuts are likely. Most of the head-count reductions are expected to be reached through routine turnover and other forms of attrition.
First Financial Holdings and First Federal CEO Wayne Hall, who would become president of SCBT, said the two banks have been working together as the merger vote has approached. "But come Friday, we'll definitely be one team," he said Tuesday.

Learn more about recent steps to promote water consumption in schools.
In December 2010, President Obama signed the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act into law. This act improves child nutrition policy in many important ways, including a provision to require free drinking water to be available with school meals. In September 2010, Governor Schwarzenegger signed SB 1413 (Leno) creating a similar requirement for all schools in California to make free, fresh drinking water available to students during school meals. These new requirements recognize that some progress has been made in getting rid of sugary drinks in schools. But, not as much has been done on promoting the healthy choices, namely water. Water is an essential nutrient and is calorie-free. Best of all, tap water is free! Unfortunately, a recent survey in California found that over 40 percent of responding schools reported to have no access to free water in cafeterias.
The state and federal governments recently released guidance on implementing these requirements; schools should be in compliance by the 2011-2 academic year. This web-based toolkit provides you with the information you need to promote water consumption in schools.
A report by California Food Policy Advocates highlights challenges with providing free, clean, and appealing tap water in schools as well as strategies to promote consumption. Click here for a copy of the report. Use the links above to learn about the importance of water, what's currently required, and how to make things happen in your school.
Please check this site often. We'll be updating the site with photos, best practices, and updates as we learn more about what's going on in communities all over California and the rest of the country.
Let us know what's going on in your community's school on water access/consumption. Contact Ariana Oliva at email@example.com, 213.482.8200 x203.

Mattox Achieves Second Place in NCAA Steeplechase for All-America Honors
Finishes in 10:26.79, Breaks the 10:30 mark for the Second Time
DELAWARE, OHIO -- Willamette University runner Kimber Mattox (Jr., Bend, OR/Bend HS/Cornell Univ.) took second place in the women's 3,000-meter steeplechase with a time of 10:26.79 at the 2011 NCAA Division III Outdoor Track and Field Championships on Friday, May 27. She earned All-America honors in the steeplechase for the second time in three years.
Also for the Willamette women's track and field team on Friday, Brandi Miller (Jr., Grants Pass, OR/North Valley HS) placed 18th in the heptathlon with 4,291 points.
For the Bearcat men's team (see separate story), Evin Colignon (Sr., Poulsbo, WA/Charles Wright Academy) earned fifth place in the decathlon with a personal record score of 6,614 points, as he claimed All-America honors, and David Oppat (Sr., Beaverton, OR/Southridge HS) finished 18th in the shot put with a top throw of 50' 5.25".
Mattox and Kimberly Chinn from Baldwin-Wallace College were part of the lead pack of four runners for much of the race in the steeplechase. They were the two leaders over the last couple of laps, until Chinn started to pull away with about 200 or 300 yards left. Chinn finished in first place with a winning time of 10:24.22.
Tonya Turner from Willamette's NWC rival Whitworth University was third with a time of 10:28.21. Marissa Liberati from SUNY Geneseo (N.Y.) was fourth in 10:33.03 and Alyssa Smith, also from Geneseo, was fifth in 10:34.60.
While taking second in the race, Mattox registered only the second time under 10:30 in Bearcat women's steeplechase history. She earned the first sub-10:30 in WU history earlier this season when she ran the steeplechase in 10:23.34 at the Mt. SAC Relays to set the Willamette record.
Mattox claimed her first All-America award in the steeplechase in 2009, when she took sixth place at the NCAA Championships. She received All-America status in cross country this past fall by placing 35th at the NCAA Cross Country Championships.
Up next for Mattox is the 5,000-meter run on Saturday, May 28. The race, which will feature a total of 23 runners, is scheduled to start at 4:40 p.m. (EDT)/1:40 p.m. (PDT).
Miller moved up four positions in the heptathlon on Friday after beginning the day in 22nd place. She took 17th in the long jump and finished 19th in the javelin throw, before concluding the competition by placing ninth in the 800-meter run.
In the long jump, Miller produced a top leap of 16' 1.50". During the javelin, her best throw covered 92' 0". In the 800-meter run, Miller achieved a time of 2:26.61, as she narrowly missed her personal record of 2:26.43, set in the heptathlon at the West Coast Invitational earlier this month.
It was Miller's first trip to the NCAA Championships. Her top event score was 796 in the 110-meter hurdles with a time of 15.35 seconds on Thursday, May 26. Her overall score of 4,291 trailed only her career-best mark of 4,406, set at the West Coast Invitational.
The winner of the NCAA heptathlon was Janey Helland of Gustavus Adolphus College (Minn.) with 5,061 points. Emma Dewart from Ithaca College (N.Y.) took second with 5,015 points and Courtney Lauer from DePauw University was third with 4,906 points.
Event winners in the heptathlon on Friday were Helland in the long jump at 18' 5.25", Kelly Curtis from Springfield College (Mass.) in the javelin throw at 130' 6" and Jill Ziskovsky from Central College (Iowa) in the 800-meter run at 2:19.07.

TravelPod Member ReviewsInn at Laurel Point Victoria
Nice motel in great location - only a 10inute walk to town. Large room with lounge chairs and a great view. Wi-Fi included plus fridge. Another tricky shower mechanism (they are all different!). Staff very accommodating. Only a 5 minute walk to Orca Spirit Adventures which were fantastic. Seafood Chowder at nearby Days Inn was great. Brekkie was lovely. All in all a great hotel
This review is the subjective opinion of a TravelPod member and not of TravelPod.com.
The views from the front entrance area are beautiful over looking the city.
Hotel is older but very well maintained.
Our king bed was nice and comfortable but once we opened the sofa bed, it was hard to move around the room. Better for a couple.
Overall the hotel was nice.

Historical Traveler Reviews Inn at Laurel Point Victoria
Romantic getawaway
Myself and my wife spent an anniversary getawaway last year at the Laurel Point,with another couple who share the same anniversary date, we all felt it was wonderful
"Very nice indeed"
My wife and I stayed there two nights last september; very nice weather by the way. We enjoyed it immensely, very large Japanese style room, enormous bath with dual shoji doors and increditible views of Inner Harbor with the Empress Hotel in the back ground. We highly recomend it.
Fine Hotel, highly recommended
Comfortable, excellent location, clean, great view, friendly staff, reasonable rates, good facilities, valet service, good food, prompt room service with food arriving hot. We stayed there in October 2003 and shall be back.
Beautiful room and view
Just returned from Victoria (Oct, 2003) and had a wonderful time at the Laurel Point Inn. The room (apparently in the newer wing) was phenomenal with a floor to ceiling incredible view of the harbor. The minimalist Japanese furnishings were ideal and provided ample space to feel comfortable and not cramped. The bed was comfortable with good linens. There were three different phones to choose from. The grand bathroom was better than the one we had at a $900 Paris Hotel Las Vegas suite! The balcony overlooked the pond, garden, and harbor. I agree with the other reviewer that the pond looked murky, although there is no smell. Location was great, particularly since their hotel rooms were not facing any streets (some of the other high dollar hotels had rooms facing the main, busy street!); however, there are seaplanes throughout the day (but all the other hotels in the downtown area get the same noise, I would presume). We ate at the lounge (with ceiling to floor views) for two nights, loved the seafood and particularly enjoyed the piano singer (Heather MacLeod), who was adept at setting a romantic mood. Even the elevator had a window with a gorgeous view of the harbor! The only downside was the noticeably absent valet and the dingy self-parking lot, abeit free.
There is better....
Recently stayed at Laurel Point Inn. Great location and free parking.
Was put in the older wing which is looking a little worn. Plain simply furnished room that could have done with a make over but comfortable enough for a few nights. Had a small balcony that over looked the newer more modern wing making us feel like the poor relations but we did have a partial inner harbour view and were made to feel grateful for that by the check in desk!
The bathroom looked very good but house keeping left a lot to be desired on closer inspection - we ended up cleaning it again each day!
There are better places to stay.
Excellent suite, good value
We stayed at the Laural Point in for almost a week, July 2003. Our one bedroom suite was outstanding with a good view of the inner harbor but perhaps a bit of an overkill for a couple. The rooms are not cluttered and the furniture is modern with some Japanese overtones. The bathrooms are enormous and very well appointed. We felt the rooms were far superior and less expensive than comparable suites at the Empress, but that may be more a matter of taste - antiques vs. modern and small baths vs large ones. The seaplane traffic may bother some who demand absolute quiet but from our experience, all the hotels with rooms facing the harbor suffer from this. The breakfast package includes a gargantuan choice of fruits, meats, pastries, etc. and wonderful omelets. The housekeeping staff is excellent but if you like to nap in the afternoon, you may have to ask them to clean your room early. We think the LPI is the best in Victoria.
Nice (but expensive) hotel on Victoria waterfront
We recently stayed at Laurel Point Inn in July 2003. Our studio suite was in the newer wing (as some reviewers had recommended), had Japanese styled doors and beds, a huge marble tiled bathroom. The exterior of the hotel, with its modern design and distinctive bluish glass guardrails was very conspicious even from afar. There were 2 restaurants on site, although we didn't dine there as we were out during meal times and downtown Victoria presented way more dining options. Our studio suite room was large (for 3 of us), with fridge, hairdryer, lots of lights and decorations, and opened into a large Japanese garden with pond overlooking the scenic Victoria waterfront.
The big bathroom (with separate shower and hottub) was as advertised - huge enough to accomodate several people and very classy. There was even a small TV in the bathroom. The only downside was the water in the pond in the Japanese garden looks like a municipal sewer (no filtration? or fish), although it didn't smell at all. The location of the hotel was a definite plus, it was a 5 minute walk to downtown Victoria along a scenic pedestrian walkway. We'll probably return if they can keep prices down.
We stayed here in 1991 and it was the most beautiful place we have ever stayed. I still rave about it. Everyone was so nice and our room was unbelievable!! It overlooked the sculptured Japanese gardens, a little waterfall and the harbor just beyond. We stayed here a whole week during which time we often just sat and stared out at the incredible view!
Great Hotel yeah Just doind Eat there!
My girlfreind and i stayed there in Feb 03 and we found the studio suite very good. I have styaed at this property many times in the past and think that its is a little expensive for the newer south side. But the decor and the style of the hotel on the south side is just my style. Staff was friendly and promt.We had two breakfasts, at the hotel, one room service and the other in the lobby. They both were werent good at all. the stuido stuido suite was a little worn out due to wear and tear. Even though there are no glareing complaints with this property,l i think i'll try another hotel for my next visit.
Million Dollar Runway, 10 Cent Control Tower
We recently stayed for a four day weekend including Valentines Day in a one bedroom suite. The hotel is in a beautiful setting on the inner harbour. The suite was very large although minimally furnished with a great bath and a huge terrace that had a view of the inner harbour.
The superlatives stop here. Room service was inconsistent from day to day and even within one order. Hot omelette for me, ice cold French toast for my wife....very romantic!!
After an all day outing we returned in the late afternoon to find that our room had not been made up.
We overheard other guests complaining as well particularly about the Valentine's day dinner or from what we heard maybe Massacre!!!

Victoria brought me right back to Bangor in many ways. The coast line is so very similar, with the exception of the amazing views of the Washington Mountains on the other side of the Salish Sea. Marcelo and I enjoyed scrambling over the rocks and exploring the city. Victoria is full of Colonial history which is immediately apparent from the imposing Parliament Buildings, ...

KSPC Plans for Reception Improvement With New Antenna Location
The KSPC antenna is heading for the hills in an effort to improve the station's broadcast signal. Last month, the FCC approved the move of the antenna from its current location near Seaver Theatre to a tower located in the Claremont hills near Padua.
Plans for this improvement date back to the 1980s, says Erica Tyron, director of college radio and television. Her predecessor, Julie Frick, had researched and tested the idea of moving the antenna, but "apparently it wasn't feasible at the time for a number of reasons," says Tyron. Last summer, it was learned that the FCC was opening up the opportunity for new FM station applications in California. "If we didn't apply to change KSPC's existing transmission location prior to October," says Tyron, "we might have lost the opportunity to ever move—new stations would have boxed KSPC's signal in to limited locations."
The move, which involves the $40,000 replacement of the antenna, transformer and transmission system, will clear up reception for listeners in the current 35-mile transmission radius, but won't extend the radius. "It will improve KSPC's overall broadcast penetration, rather than expanding it very much," says Tyron. "Also, just the replacement of the transmitting equipment and antenna will improve reception, as the new equipment will work far more efficiently and effectively."
Other costs associated with the move include a monthly rental fee for tower space from American Tower Corporation and electricity expenses. "These items were requested as part of the equipment and alternations budgeting process last December for FY 2008-09," says Tyron. "We have received unofficial confirmation that the E&A requests were approved."
A specific date for the move hasn't been set yet. The FCC did grant a construction permit in early March, but the station is still in the process of filing for a new broadcast license from the new location and negotiating terms for the tower rental.
KSPC broadcasts 24/7 at 88.7 FM and online at www.kspc.org. In 2006, the station celebrated its 50th anniversary.

Americans' opinions of cruise lines plummet after Carnival Triumph
Mar 05, 2013 9:54 am
Skift Take
Although the cruise industry will eventually bounce back, those who have never taken a cruise are even less likely to try one than they were one a year ago.
It's not surprising that a recent poll by Harris Interactive found that U.S. adults have less trust and a worse perception of major cruise lines following the Carnival Triumph disaster last month.
The drop in perceived quality (18 percent) and intent to buy (13 percent) was the most notable for Carnival, but impacted other brands including Disney, Holland America, and Royal Caribbean to a lesser extent.
The poll also found that 57 percent of American adults believe air travel to be "much more reliable" than taking a cruise. The perception of which is safer was split 50-50.

There's more to Hackademic than the talks. Throughout the weekend there will be a number of events and contests designed to engage the attendees and broaden your understanding of a variety of interesting topics.
Lockpick Village
Want to tinker with locks and tools the likes of which you've only seen in movies featuring cat burglars, espionage agents, or Southern California car thieves? Then come on by the Lockpick Village, where you will have the opportunity to learn hands-on how the fundamental hardware of physical security operates and how it can be compromised. The Lockpick Village is a physical security demonstration and participation area. This public space will consist of a workshop environment in which participants can learn about the vulnerabilities of various locking devices, techniques used to exploit these vulnerabilities, and practice on locks of various levels of difficultly to try it themselves.
Experts will be on hand to demonstrate and plenty of trial locks, picks, shims, and other devices will be made available. By exploring the faults and flaws in many popular lock designs, you can prepare yourself not only for possible work in the penetration testing field, but also simply gain a much stronger knowledge about the best methods and practices for protecting your own infrastructure and personal property. After all, you can have the most hardened, patched, and properly-configured servers on the planet but none of that matters if someone marches them out the door without any difficulty. ;-)
3 State Bike Ride
While not exactly security related, the location of Hackademic offers a unique opportunity. Newark DE is located in the NW corner of Delaware… which is only a few miles from both Pennsylvania and Maryland. Saturday June 30th, we'll be arranging an early morning bike ride to go through all 3 states. It sounds really impressive, but it will only be a 15 mile ride. You don't have to tell your friends that though. Let them be amazed that you rode through 3 states in one day.
If you're interested in the ride, let us know so we can plan appropriately. If you can't bring a bike with you, we'll point you to a local shop that you can rent from.

The Clarence School District has lifted its suspension of a Middle School girls lacrosse team that was accused of using racial slurs in a game against Sweet Home.
"Given additional information that has surfaced as a result of a more extensive investigation, including discussions with Clarence parents and the superintendent at Sweet Home, we are immediately resuming the girls' modified lacrosse season," Clarence Superintendent Geoffrey M. Hicks said in a statement released Friday.
Clarence's reversal capped a tumultuous week in the district, which began with Monday's announcement that the team would be suspended from play for four games. The team of 23 seventh- and eighth-grade girls was told it could continue practicing but its members would have to attend a diversity awareness program.

She stuck by her man after he cheated and was charged with sexually assaulting a Colorado woman in 2003. The very pubic court proceedings and constant media attention was enough to drive a wedge between any solid marriage. Somehow, they made it through and it appeared that all was good. But, as of Friday of last week Vanessa Bryant filed for divorce sighting "irreconcilable differences".

NMSU must monitor its program to assure compliance and to identify and report to the NCAA instances in which compliance has not been achieved. An institution found to have violated NCAA rules is subject to disciplinary and corrective actions as determined by the NCAA.
