Meet the Culprit: Atrial Fibrillation
Featuring: Dr. Best, Cardiologist
Highlighted most recently on national and local news has been the discussion of atrial fibrillation. What is it? How can you get it? And from the standpoint of a physician, how can atrial fibrillation be treated?
We've all had the opportunity of being placed in situations that were, well less than comfortable. Often times, we begin to feel anxiety, and the beating of our heart increases dramatically. Imagine living life with that rapidly beating heart rate… Your heart beats all the time, thanks to electric signals that are produced by your body. When those electrical signals begin to beat at a chaotic-like pace, for seemingly no reason atrial fibrillation is typically the culprit.
Atrial fibrillation is not induced because of an infection, disease or airborne virus. "A-fib" as it is known, may develop due to high blood pressure, out of a heart attack, heart failure, cardiomyopathy, endocarditis, abnormal heart valves, and heart defects with which you may have been born.
My patients, who are identified as possibly having atrial fibrillation, undergo a series of tests to confirm the diagnosis. Those tests include, but are not limited to: a chest x-ray, holter moniter, blood tests echocardiogram and a stress test. Atrial fibrillation should not be overlooked as something that will simply "go away." Because the chaotic heart beat may create a pool of blood near or even in the atria, patients who have atrial fibrillation are more likely to have a stroke and in some cases, die due to the muscle spasms of the heart.
As a physician, I take a pride in the care I provide my patients and generally recommend the following treatment options for those diagnosed with atrial fibrillation:
- Anticoagulation with either Coumadin or Pradaxa as prophylaxis against strokes
- Cardioversion or shocking the heart back to normal sinus rhythm
- Initiation of anti-arrhythmic drugs to maintain sinus rhythm
- Pulmonary venous mapping and ablation of the tissues by radiofrequency waves (invasive)
- Maze procedure (during open heart surgery they filet the atria decreasing reentry circuits)
- Radiofrequency ablation of the AV node with placement of a permanent pacemake
If you have questions or concerns, my staff at the CMH Heart Institute Clinic will be happy to visit with you. Call the CMH Heart Institute Clinic at 417-328-6040 for more information.

For die-hard tattoo lovers out there who are thinking of obtaining a body art, a girl rib cage tattoo can be a great option. However, before you finalize your decision to embed it, you should be aware that getting rib cage tat can be a very painful process.
These tats are great and beautiful, but you should have a strong endurance in pain because this part of your body is usually sensitive since it has less fats and tissues.
Because of this, there is less padding on your rib cage skin which is supposed to cushion the impact of the tattooing process resulting to a great pain. So, it pays to think very well before making your final decision to get this kind of tat. Also, you should consider the fact that it could require more time in tattooing because the rib cage area is a wide canvas for getting your tattoo.
After finalizing your decision to embed a female rib cage tattoo, it's time to conduct a research about rib cage tat ideas on the internet. Your choice of a tat design for your rib cage actually depends on which part of it you are going to place the tattoo. Considering that the rib cage is a large canvass, you can pick your design from many options available to explore.
Your choice can be applied to one side of your girl rib cage tattoo or on both sides. Let's say you want a tat on both sides, then, you can opt to have it at your back connecting these areas. The most popular rib cage tats for girls these days include the images of flowers and well-known quotes, phrases and sayings. When you engrave quotes and sayings, you can use a stylish font that is swirling and looks feminine.
Today, a lot of girls opt to have women rib cage tattoos made-up of poems which are written using intricate fonts. You can have these scripts done vertically or horizontally. Flower designs are also very popular in creating rib cage tats for girls. In fact, a lot of girls opt to have tat designs that start from their hips and continue to the sides of their chests.
Another popular flower design is cherry blossom which can enhance the beauty of a girl. There are also some girls who opt for tats that are made-up of single words like, Serenity, Peace, or the
name of their boyfriend. You can also embed an angle tat or a simple butterfly on your rib cage. In obtaining a rib cage tat, there are some important things that you should know.
First, you should continue breathing while undergoing the tat session. There are times when you may feel being restless or excited while being tattooed. In this case, you should ask immediately the tat artist to pause for a while. The tattooing of girl rib cage tattoos gives some sort of sensation, so, if you find it hard to stop your movements while getting tattooed, you can take several breaks as necessary to be comfortable.

MMA News
Vitor Belfort would stop TRT for a title shot if necessary
Vitor "The Phenom" Belfort (23-10 MMA, 12-6 UFC) has been under a lot of scrutiny for his use of TRT (Testosterone replacement therapy.)
The 35-year-old former UFC champion, Belfort, has looked spectacular in his past two octagon appearances, earning headkick knockout wins over perennial contenders Michael Bisping and Luke Rockhold.
Belfort recently stated that should it be necessary for him to stop TRT for a world title fight, he would, but doesn't feel it's necessary:
"I've already said that, if they agree with it, I would (stop doing TRT)," he said. "No problem at all. If they want me to get there in a disadvantage, that's ok.
"But they already told me that's not the problem," he continued. "UFC told me 'you can't get in there in disadvantage.' The thing is, I'm in normal testosterone levels with TRT. That's the treatment. People don't seem to understand that I'm the only guy that does blood tests. Many fighters don't do this, many use illegal stuff and are not tested like I am. I'm tested all the time. Week after week, month after month. I have to keep the levels normal to make it fair."
Vitor is set to rematch Dan Henderson (29-10 MMA, 6-4 UFC) in the headlining bout of UFC Fight Night 32 on November 9, in Brazil. With a win over "Hendo," Belfort hopes to be rewarded with the winner of UFC 168's middleweight title fight between Chris Weidman and Anderson Silva.
0 Responses to "Vitor Belfort would stop TRT for a title shot if necessary"
ufc allows up to 5:1 or 6:1 test levels. Thats far above normal. im sure vitor is right at the limit everytime.
Vitor is a major Dbag! I swear if he really wanted to be in a even fight he wold let his body do what it does or doesnt do naturally. The more I hear him speak the more its become easier to stop being a fan of his.

Democrats are crowing today about how their early voting operation is giving President Obama a big edge over Mitt Romney. Early voting has been a priority for the Democrats who have fought hard to preserve it in the crucial swing state of Ohio. According to a Reuters/Ipsos poll, they are being rewarded for this emphasis by gaining a huge edge among early voters. Reuters reports the poll says Obama leads Romney 59-31 percent among the seven percent of the electorate that has already cast their ballots. If those numbers were accurate and hold up by Election Day, that could make an enormous difference in what has otherwise been considered a tossup election. But, as the Romney campaign has pointed out, the poll doesn't seem reliable. Nor is it necessarily indicative of what the results will be in various states.
Liberals who have been quick to pounce on any poll with an inadequate sample in the past should steer clear of this Reuters poll. Not only is the margin of error in the survey a whopping 10 percent and therefore so large as to render its results meaningless, but also the sample in each state is miniscule. As Rich Beeson, Romney's political director, pointed out in a memo, the total sample of early voters was only 361 with only 115 of them in swing states. That means the average number of early voters polled in each state is less than 10. Early voting hasn't even begun for the general population in Colorado, the state with the highest number of early voters four years ago. More important is the identity of the groups the campaigns are targeting in their early voting turnout programs. According to Politico, the Democrats have focused on getting Obama's base out early while the Republicans think their core voters don't need to be rousted out to the polls before Election Day, and instead concentrate on wavering potential GOP voters. Whether the latter strategy is smarter than the former is yet to be seen. But the Reuters poll is so flimsy that it's difficult to see why it should be taken seriously.
Beeson argues there's no point for his party to invest in a measure that would be devoted to bringing out GOP voters early that he knows will support Romney on Election Day. That may be true for high intensity Republicans, but Democrats seem to think their base needs more help and might not vote at all if they allow many of them to wait until November 6. They are probably right about that, which means their approach makes sense.
Early voting does alter some of the calculations for pollsters since once a person has voted they are invulnerable to the subsequent swings in opinion about the candidates. Democrats seem to think that since Obama has led most of the way, this limits Romney's path to a comeback win. But since most early voting is happening now, as the Republican surges, this is not a compelling argument for either candidate.
Even if the Reuters poll was accurate — and there is no rational reason to think that it is — it doesn't mean that Obama should view early voting as his path to re-election. It is just a device to increase turnout among sections of the public who cannot be relied upon to vote without this sort of aid. But there is also no reason to think that exponentially more Democrats will vote early than Republicans nationwide. As Beeson says, of those voters who have requested ballots but have yet to turn in their vote, Democrats hold only a six percent registration edge. Another wild card here is the military vote that may not be so favorable for the Democrats.
That means there is much less than meets the eye to the early voting hoopla. No matter who has what is liable to be a small edge in this category, it won't decide anything.

Political Development Underway in Tunisia
U.S. Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton today said political development is underway in Tunisia.
On her visit to Tunisia, Ms. Clinton said that the political side of the revolution is going quite well.
"The elections were done in a very impressive way. The assembly is now constituted. The government is up and running." -Ms. Clinton
On October 2011, Tunisians turned out in huge numbers to vote in the country's first free election since the start of the Arab Spring reform movement.
Translation from French: Ben Ali out. Photo: Wikimedia Commons
She cites that revolution in Tunisia has not only made a significant difference in the lives of Tunisians, but it has also given hope to people everywhere.
She highlighted that the challenge now for all the Tunisians is how to ensure that the economic development of Tunisia matches the political development.
She explains that this it is not an unusual challenge faced by Tunisia after the revolution.
"Anytime there is a revolution, there will be the need to reconstitute the economic institutions as well as the political ones." - Ms. Clinton
She stresses that the era of cronyism and corruption is over in Tunisia. She adds that the new era of entrepreneurship and opportunity is coming.
"There is a need for both short-term relief and a longer-term economic plan that will make the changes in Tunisia that will open Tunisia to the world and bring opportunity here to your country." -Ms. Clinton
She notes that the United States have pledged to help Tunisia in the short run to deal with the immediate economic needs of the Tunisian people, and also to support the longer-term changes that will make a real difference for Tunisia.
Ms. Clinton says that she will reach out to other governments and countries.
Ms. Clinton is a strong champion for Tunisian democracy and what has been accomplished here.
She notes that the world community must ensure that the economic opportunities that the Tunisian people are seeking are made available.
"So both on behalf of the United States and in my capacity as Secretary of State, working with colleagues from countries around the world, I will do my best to provide the support that is needed in the short term. I don't want to over-promise." -Ms. Clinton
She underlines that there's a global economic downturn affecting much of the world right now, she stresses that Tunisia has a way forward that will lead to success for this important country at this point in your history.
Ms. Clinton states she visited Tunisia to express the U.S. commitment to support Tunisia's political and the economic reforms that are occurring in the country.
On March 2011, after the ouster of former president Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali, the United States has pledged that it will work for the creation of jobs for the Tunisian people. The United States Overseas Private Investment Corporation will offer financial support in the form of direct loans, guarantees, and political risk insurance for the Tunisians. OPIC is already supporting two Tunisian private equity firms that are focused on small and medium-size businesses and will support investor visits by American businesses to Tunisia.
After the revolution, Tunisia confronts a long list of challenges to the creation of a democratic system. Expectations for swift and wide-ranging reforms are very high among a population hungry for change after decades of harsh authoritarian rule.
According to media reports, the political uncertainty in the wake of the dictator's departure has taken a toll on the Tunisian economy and its tourism sector in particular, on which some 500,000 people in this country of 10 million depend for employment.

School Counts! Aims to Raise Quality of Life
By Dr. Kenneth Ender, President
School Counts! is a hole-in-one for Cumberland Countys residents and businesses.
Through School Counts!, high school students are going to be able to earn a certificate, in addition to their diploma, that indicates that they are workforce ready. Students can earn the certificate by attending school regularly, achieving above average grades, accomplishing more than the minimum graduation requirements and graduating on time.
The School Counts! certificate means opportunity for the students. Area businesses will give them the edge as job applicants, since the students possess characteristics employers desire. School Counts! students will also be eligible for a full scholarship to attend Cumberland County College.
So the countys School Counts! high school graduates can pursue entry-level jobs at the 350 area businesses participating in School Counts! or continue their education at CCC for free.
Money for the scholarships is being raised by the CCC Foundation through special events and an endowment campaign. The first event was the June 14 School Counts! Golf Classic, which netted $75,000.
What a spectacular event! I was far from being the best golfer playing on this beautiful day, but I was most likely the happiest. The community really came together to benefit this great cause student scholarships and an improved quality of life in Cumberland County. More than 70 area businesses sponsored the golf tournament, with South Jersey Industries and the Law Offices of Arnold Robinson serving as the presenting sponsors. Major sponsors included Federici & Akin II Consulting Engineers, STV Architects, The Daily Journal and many others.
CCC Foundation Board member Norman Neill saw that all the details were in place as chair of the Golf Committee. The members, who shared Neills enthusiasm, included Carl Kirstein, Michael Milam, William Milam, Sue Perry, Mark Sockwell, Anthony Sparacio, Alan Woodruff and myself. Volunteers included Anne Bergamo, Vanessa Brown, Gerri Brosh, Terry Carpenter, Carol Fallows, Betsy Gonzalez, Dale Hoffman, Barbara Jarecki, Connie Kirstein, Angie Kracke, Sharon Lind, Barbara Ann Logan, Dolly Marciano, Stacy Pagliughi, Jill Perry, Alyce Reed, Pat Sink and Dorothy Zila.
Newfield National Bank was the first place team. The foursome included President/CEO Gene Rogers, David Swiderski, Pete Burton and Mike Pash. They won a trophy and tailored blazers. Many of the 144 golfers won prizes courtesy of the sponsors.
The five qualifying golfers Tom Ayres, Phil Price, Frank Forcinito, Jim DeFilipo and Ed Kemp - failed to win the $1 million hole-in-one shootout, presented by Foundry Service Corporation and Price-Milam Insurance.
But they were among the many stars in an event that will assist in raising the quality of life in Cumberland County. The enthusiasm generated by those planning, playing and sponsoring the School Counts! tournament makes me confident that there will be scholarships available for all eligible students when the program begins in 2005.

NEW YORK — Jim Carrey says that he cannot support the violence of his upcoming superhero action flick "Kick-A** 2" in the wake of the Sandy Hook Elementary massacre.
The actor shot the film last year before the mass shooting in Connecticut that killed 20 children and six adults. He tweeted Sunday that "now, in good conscience, I cannot support that level of violence." Carrey adds that he wasn't ashamed of the film "but recent events have caused a change in my heart."
"Kick-A** 2" is a sequel to the 2010 movie whose breakout star was the 11-year-old vigilante Hit-Girl, played by Chloe Grace Moretz. She reprises the role in the sequel, which Universal Pictures will release Aug. 16. Carrey plays a vigilante named Colonel Stars and Stripes.
A spokesman says Universal declined to comment.

Alex, It was our pleasure to spend a few days with you, your efficient staff. We felt warmly received, and someone always there to help. Esther was a fantastic cook, Fierro always looking for good animals with Mencho adding his eyes to the field. Martin made sure our needs were met.

I feel better tonight. I went for a long run, which took away some of the guilt from your fantastic Poitahue food and incredible wine! This is one of the best places I had ever been! The lodge and staff are fantastic, the country is beautiful, and your free-range stag are wonderfully challenging. I am only sorry that my wife, Donna, didn´t shove this part of our Argentina adventure - Which means we must return! I cannot thank you enough!

© Copyright 2015 Albany Herald
ALBANY -- Although it was costly in terms of dollars and personnel time, representatives of The Albany Herald, WALB-TV and WFXL-TV said Friday that the investment in open government was worth it Friday morning.
The Albany news organizations signed settlement papers in their lawsuit against the Dougherty County School System and its Board of Education, which agreed to release information on three of the six candidates the board interviewed for its next superintendent in late December.
The board voted 5-2 Jan. 27 to appoint Albany State University executive Joshua Murfree as its only finalist and voted 4-3 on Feb. 3 to remain with that appointment. The news organizations partnered to file a lawsuit against the School Board on Feb. 4 after the board failed to comply with the Georgia Open Records Act by not releasing information about the other superintendent finalists.
The agreement, which the School Board accepted Wednesday in a 6-1 vote, states that the board does not admit to "any of the allegations contained in the complaint" or to the validity of the news organizations' complaints.
The settlement was signed Friday at the law offices of Langley & Lee by Albany Herald President and Publisher Michael J. Gebhart, WFXL-TV President/General Manager Jenny Collins and by WALB-TV News Director Rick Williams, who signed on behalf of General Manager Jim Wilcox. Dougherty County School Board Chairman David Maschke and Superintendent Sally Whatley signed the agreement Thursday, with Whatley "attesting Maschke's signature as secretary of the Board of Education," DCSS Attorney Tommy Coleman said.
Bill Calhoun, the attorney representing the Albany news agencies, said he notified Judge J. Richard Porter III of Cairo that the hearing set for Monday on a temporary restraining order the plaintiffs' received had been canceled in Dougherty County Superior Court.
"It's unfortunate that we needed to go to this extent and extreme because the School Board should've done this in the first place," Gebhart said.
Asked what stood out most about the case, Gebhart said, "The extreme that they went to make sure they got their man, that's what was the most amazing aspect of this whole ordeal."
Collins was thankful that the superintendent lawsuit aspect was over.
"It's been time consuming," said Collins, who has with WFXL six years. "We've incurred expenses, the school system has incurred expenses and none of it would've been necessary if they had done what they were supposed to."
Wilcox told The Herald Wednesday: "It is a crying shame we had to spend thousands of our dollars and taxpayers' dollars to require elected officials to comply with the law."
The settlement lists five conditions. The first was to release and provide to the public copies of all the documentation that the School Board has on the three candidates they "preliminarily deemed to be best qualified" for the next superintendent.
The second condition was that after the board interviewed six candidates and narrowed its list to three candidates for second interviews, that if the total of three -- including Murfree -- decline to have their documents released, then the School Board "shall seek candidates consenting to the release of their documentation from the remaining of the six initially interviewed, starting with the next preliminary best qualified and descending in order of their qualifications for the position, until a total of three are obtained." However, if none of the six candidates choose to have their information released, the School Board has "no obligation to release information on any other candidates."
Coleman said Georgia School Boards Association consultant Bill Sampson, who conducted the national search for the board, was calling the candidates for the School Board. The Herald uncovered Arkansas educator Roy G. Brooks, a 37-year educator with superintendent experience, as a finalist on Feb. 18. Former Clayton County School System interim Superintendent Valya Lee was the other finalist before she withdrew from consideration last month.
The third condition was that the School Board "shall not actively try to discourage applicants for the purpose of eliminating applicants competing with Dr. Murfree."
The fourth condition is the School Board can't take final action to name a superintendent until at least 14 days pass from the date of the release of the information and documentation requested.
The final condition was that once all the procedures that were listed were fulfilled, the news organizations would dismiss their lawsuit.
As far as when the School Board will release the candidates' names, Calhoun said the agreement doesn't have a timetable.
"There's no specific timeline requiring them to produce the information within X number of days, but they can't make a final appointment until 14 days after they produce the records under the Open Records Act and our settlement agreement," he said. "I would anticipate they would move forward fairly quickly and produce the documents."
Before joining Langley & Lee 10 years ago, Calhoun worked for nine years in the Office of the Attorney General of Georgia in Atlanta. He said he dealt with Open Records cases frequently when he worked in the Attorney General's Office.
"Most Open Records disputes or disagreements do not go to court, but would be resolved informally," he said. Calhoun said he couldn't remember any Open Records request cases that he handled in his 23-year career that went to a trial.

Baumgartner Vaughan column: DHS Forever, with Lougee's daughter
Bobby Lougee loved to socialize. Even when age made it harder to get around, Lougee kept it up because his old friends appreciated his efforts. He liked it, too, of course. Lougee, who died Memorial Day weekend 2013, was a World War II veteran, a Marine, a good friend to many, and a man who remembered a time in Durham when you could get six hot dogs for a quarter. His mom would send him downtown with 25 cents to get those hot dogs. Sometimes he chased the ice truck to gather up the ice chips that fell off. That was a long time ago now. But not so long that those memories are only found in stories. Lougee lived to 90, and some of his contemporaries are still around.
Every year, Lougee would come by the newsroom and ask us to let readers know about the upcoming Durham High Forever reunions. The reunions brought together former Durham High students who graduated during the war years, and by "the war," I mean World War II.
Now one of Lougee's daughters, Mollie Tompkins, has taken up her dad's efforts. She called me recently to tell me that she's organizing the reunion this year. It will be held May 3 here in Durham. It's for DHS grads from 65 or more years ago, so the youngest will be about 83 years old.
It was Lougee's hope that the reunions continue after his death so graduates could still fellowship with each other at least once a year, Tompkins told me. "In fact, he was rather adamant about it," she said. Tompkins hopes there will be same amount of interest in the reunions as the past eight years.
"This is the first reunion without Daddy, and believe me, he is sorely missed," she said. "Many times I wish I could just ask Daddy one more question. He was very peculiar about the way he handled the administrative duties, and I just hope I can do them half as well."
So if you knew Lougee back when he joined the Marines because it had the best uniform, or if you laughed at his jokes these past years, here's how to continue his legacy. The Durham High Forever Reunion will be at noon May 3 at the Durham Hilton, 3800 Hillsborough Road. Registration begins at 11:30 a.m., and costs $20 per person. If you have any questions, call Tompkins at 919-886-1876.
She's doing this out of love for her late father.
"I know he'll be looking down on us that Saturday morning and smiling knowing that his wish is being fulfilled by many people that love him," Tompkins said.

True story! Every little bit helps. I can't do froggy jumps, but I'll try this with some upper body weight stuff....by the by, holding a hand (of soup, beans, whatever) in either hand when you do upper body workout stuff is just as good as holding a one to three pound weight. But cheaper! :D

My parents retired to a home they built on a beautiful large lake. This
is a view of the end of the cove where they lived. It was the place
that we all came together to celebrate our family, to play to eat, to
laugh and spend an inordinate amount of time waterlogged. As my parents
aged, they had to move, but we are filled with wonderful memories of
being together there.
me encanta, como siempre me admira la gente pinta naturaleza

What are some realistic d-line or safeties coaches out there that could step in and take over as DC?
I definitely think Hyde had an advantage in this years offense running the read option and veer. Defenses had to respect the threat of Braxton running so it was essentially like playing against 10 defenders on must runs. Having said that Hyde is still a man among small, helpless children and the way he moved piles was incredible. It would be interesting to see how wells and clarett would have produced in this offense
Great write up, glad to hear bucks recruiting well. Just a side note... Luke Kennard, a 5-star of the 2015 class (AAU teammate of AJ Harris, buckeye commit) dropped 51 points Tuesday night. Although it was against mediocre competition, that high of a point total in a short high school game is nothing short of spectacular
when will we know what time they will play? Trying to get tickets and there is a choice between 12:00 and 6:00, and I don't want to watch Indiana...
This season has been crazy, both in the BIG and in the rest of the country. Without a single dominant team(like Kentucky last year), it seems like anyone in the top 15 could potentially make a run at the title. It is going to be a very mad march.
Thad Matta is sweatier than DT
Just heard chants of "let's play football" haha I love it
Craft shooting pull up jumpers, no matter how wide open, is not what his team needs from him.
Hardaway Jr. is apparently up for an academy award with that kind of acting

Ivanovic is keen to get off to a flying start following the return of Jose Mourinho and he already has his eyes on the trip to Old Trafford on August 26.
He said: "It's very important, more mentally, because it's the beginning of the season.
"That game will not decide who is going to be champions, but it will decide a lot of things about the confidence and about the team.
"It's very important for us psychologically to start the season well. I think it can give us extra confidence and after that we can play game by game.
"The season is very long. We have to be ready for every challenge."

Prevent Celiac Disease? New Study Explores Potential Early Intervention
Much to my grandmother's chagrin, I'm nowhere close to having children.
Much to my chagrin, this new study on the prevention of celiac disease won't be finished before my prime child-bearing years are over.
Study to prevent celiac disease, you ask? Indeed. A new Dutch study is taking a look at the so-called "window of opportunity," in which it might (might might might) be possible to keep celiac disease from taking hold in an infant.

We are going in either July or August and I would love to pick a time that is slower than usual... also, if anyone could compare what it's like at spring break and what it's like in summer, which has more people? I know what it was like when we went there during Spring Break a few years ago, but haven't been in the summer for over 10 years.
Also, has Innoventions closed yet? I've never gone into it and would love to see it before they permanently close it.
What is the best time to get to the park (in order to be near the front when it starts) to use the Magic Morning?
Thanks in advance! I haven't been to Disneyland in 4 years and it has been 4 years too long! I can't wait!

Men in protective clothing repairing hazardous sidewalks
Men wearing bright neon yellow masks and other protecting face gear and clothing are operating a noisy machine similar to a buffer on the sidewalks of Forest City these days.
Precision Safe Sidewalks is under contract with the Town of Forest City to make repairs to 351 sidewalk hazards identified through a recent survey.
Specifications of the Americans with Disabilities Act were used in the survey to determine the condition of the sidewalks and the report was presented to Town Council earlier this month.
The town is spending up to $31,123 to repair the hazards on Main Street that also includes 97 linear feet of curb hazards at points of egress. Powell Bill funds will pay for the repair proejct.
The work has been ongoing for the past days and is expected to be completed next week.
According to the survey, there is 0.74 estimated curbside sidewalk miles along Main Street from South Broadway to Church Street with 234 hazards.
Along the same stretch there is an estimated 0.53 sidewalk miles and 117 average total hazards.
In the status report, the town takes all the responsibility for the repair and maintenance of all the sidewalks, with the few exceptions where there is documentation existing that the building-side portion of the sidewalk belongs to the property owner, City Manager John Condrey said recently.
In the past, the town took responsibility of one-half of the sidewalk toward the street and the business owner took care of the sidewalk half way to the respective business.
The sidewalk problems were created by the root growth of trees planted in town.
The company estimated a savings to the town for repairing the sidewalks will be $115,715.

HOUSTON (AP) - A 43-year-old Mexican national on Texas death row for the beating death of a man at his Hill Country ranch near Kerrville almost 16 years ago has lost a federal court appeal, moving him a step closer to execution.
Attorneys for Ramiro Hernandez contend he was mentally impaired and ineligible for execution for the 1997 slaying of 48-year-old Glen Lich. The former Baylor University history professor was fatally beaten with a crowbar. His wife also was attacked but survived.
Hernandez, from Tamaulipas, Mexico, also argued he had poor legal help at his Texas trial, where he says evidence of a previous murder conviction and prison term in Mexico was improperly allowed.
The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has rejected each argument.
Hernandez does not yet have an execution date.

AUSTIN, Texas -- Gov. Rick Perry is threatening to call a special legislative session if lawmakers don't send him a budget with $1.8 billion in tax cuts.
The Legislature finishes its work May 27 - unless Perry summons it back into session.
The House late Tuesday passed a tax bill proposing $667 million in breaks for Texas businesses. Perry said Wednesday that was "a third of the way there."
He added: "If folks want to go home at the end of this legislative session" he'd have to see a budget including $1.8 billion in tax cuts.
Perry says he wants no fee increases for transportation and $2 billion for water and infrastructure projects.
The hard line was a tactical change for Perry, who has had a low-key role in pushing legislation this session.

Sam Houston's pressure too much for West Oso boys as Bears fall in regional
Bears tamed in regional semifinal for second straight season
CORPUS CHRISTI - What took West Oso nearly half a quarter to build, state-ranked San Antonio Sam Houston snatched back in a matter of seconds.
The fourth-ranked Hurricanes needed just eight seconds to erase a four-point deficit and reclaim the lead for good nearly midway through the first quarter of Friday night's Region IV-3A semifinal boys basketball playoff game.
Sam Houston was just as quick in turning steals into fast-break points during its decisive 16-0 first-half run en route to beating the Bears 60-40 at the American Bank Center.
District 30-3A champion West Oso (13-21) had its 12-game winning streak snapped while falling in the regional semifinals for the second straight season.
"We wanted to go a little further for the seniors, but obviously it didn't happen," Bears coach Arnold Flores said. "We made a good run and had a good season. Their athleticism and quickness really hurt us tonight. We lost the ball way too many times, and they converted that into points."
The 28-3A champion Hurricanes (21-6) won their 13th consecutive game in advancing to Saturday's noon Region IV-3A final against either against No. 13 Brookshire Royal (28-9) at the American Bank Center. The Falcons beat No. 23 Hondo, 57-52 in Friday's other regional semifinal game.
Sam Houston — which had fallen in this round the past two seasons — also avenged a 75-70 regional semifinal loss to the Bears in 2011 in the process.
West Oso wasn't intimidated by the Hurricanes, as it held Sam Houston well under its 95 points per game average in its first two playoff games this season.
The Bears used senior post Davon Fox's two putbacks and junior forward Justin Haywood's athletic layup to score six of the game's first eight points in building their brief four-point lead.
The game changed quickly from there, as senior guard/forward Terrence Washington's 3-pointer — part of his team-high 20 points — off an inbounds pass started the Hurricanes' big first-half run.
Sam Houston took a one-point lead eight seconds later thanks to senior forward Isaac Thornton's putback following a Hurricanes' steal.
Sam Houston then used three fast-break layups, another 3-pointer from Washington and Thornton's two-handed dunk — following four more steals by the Hurricanes — to extend its first-quarter lead to 18-6.
Sam Houston led by as many as 15 during the first half, before taking a 35-23 lead into the half.
"We knew they were an athletic ballclub," Flores said. "My concern was handling their pressure and obviously we didn't do that the first half. We had 20 turnovers in the first half, and we average anywhere from 7 to 10 turnovers a game. Those 20 turnovers really hurt us."
The Hurricanes then scored the first six points of the third quarter to push their lead to 41-23.
West Oso wouldn't come closer than 15 points in the final ten minutes of play, as Sam Houston eventually built a 22 point lead in the final minute of the fourth quarter.
"We played better in the second half but still — their defense took us completely out of our offense," Flores said.
Fox scored 11 of his team-high 20 points in the second half, and he finished with 16 rebounds for a double-double.
Fox was also one of three seniors — forward Donivin Beasley and guard Alex Caceres were the others — that played in their final basketball game for the Bears on Friday.
"We got here but didn't quite put on the show that we wanted to," Flores said. "We've got a good nucleus coming back next season, and hopefully we'll build on that. I definitely expect to be back (at the regional tournament) next year."

The Special Investigations Unit (SIU) is investigating the death of a 22-year-old Windsor man who died in police custody Thursday morning.
Windsor police responded to a call around 11a.m. on Jacobs Drive about a man who was acting strangely.
An officer arrived on scene and found the man, who was having difficulty breathing. The officer placed him in a recovery position. The man stopped showing vital signs shortly after another officer arrived to assist.
The man was pronounced dead after paramedics transported him to hospital.
The SIU – an arm's length agency that investigates reports involving police in the case of death, serious injury or allegations of sexual assault – has assigned two investigators and two forensic investigators to probe the circumstances of this incident.

Regarding Arlen Specter, Dana Milbank writes:
He is ornery, vain, disloyal and a brazen opportunist. He lacks a discernible ideology, puts his finger to the political winds before casting a vote and in the end does what is good for Arlen Specter.
But Milbank is going to miss him, because "whatever his faults, he fought the forces of party unity and ideological purity that are pulling the country apart."
This is wrong for multiple reasons. First, why is party disloyalty for the sake of doing "what is good" for a pol (i.e., his own perpetual re-election) a noble thing? Sacrificing party loyalty for a principled stance is a different matter. Joe Lieberman is the quintessential example — casting aside partisan loyalty to advocate a robust foreign policy and the promotion of American values. We can say the same of pro-life Democrats when they cast aside party loyalty to uphold their core beliefs (not very often as Bart Stupak showed). Charlie Crist and Arlen Specter are simply opportunists, sniffing out the most expedient position at the moment. Even Milbank concedes: "His Democratic primary opponent, Joe Sestak, finished off the hopelessly contorted Specter with an ad showing him receiving Bush's endorsement in 2004 and playing Specter's boast that 'my change in party will enable me to be reelected.' Specter will probably be remembered for that unprincipled quote. I'd prefer to remember him for something else." Yes, because it demonstrates how disdainful is a philosophy built purely around a pol's self-preservation.
Milbank is also off-base, because there is nothing wrong with offering voters a rather stark ideological choice. Big government or smaller? Human rights promotion or appeasement to dictators? High or low taxes? One gains a governing majority by presenting a well-thought-out vision on both domestic and foreign policy, getting voters to agree, and then going to Washington with a mandate to govern. And if a politician misrepresents what he is about during the campaign or overreaches (as Obama has done), then a new choice, a new election, and a new mandate will follow.
And finally, the country is not being "pulled apart." We have a revival of grassroots politics, a new crop of candidates, and a vibrant debate about the role of government and America's role in the world. How is that bad? And why shouldn't we see this as an affirmation of the health of our democracy and of the benefits of new media that can assist organizers and facilitate a robust debate between competing philosophies?
In sum, bipartisanship, if conducted on a principled basis for good and honorable ends (e.g., defense of the country), is to be cherished. But bipartisanship without any purpose other than self-preservation or for destructive goals is no virtue. And that's why Arlen Specter's defeat is to be celebrated.

I was recently contacted by someone and asked how to patent an idea. He was quite upset when I told him that you can't, that you can only patent an implementation of an idea...an invention. He didn't want to believe me, saying lots of companies do it every day and get rich off of those ideas. (he wants to get rich too)
He has a lot to learn, beginning with what the difference is between an idea and an implementation of an idea.
He, just like many, also has everything backwards in his head, thinking you come up with a great idea, rush to make something, then go get it patented before someone steals your idea. That's not how it works, not at all.
That would be like rushing to create a solution to a problem without knowing what the problem really is, then go look for a problem your solution works for to try to sell your invention, rather than coming up a great way to solve a known existing problem...the best way possible to solve that problem, taking your time to do it well, revising it and making it better till it is the best it can be, then patent it, market it, and sell that solution to people that already want it. (kind of how the coding snacks here work)
There are a gazillion inventions every year and the patent office is overloaded with some of the worst stuff you have ever seen...silly stuff...poorly designed stuff, all in the hopes of getting rich. Most inventions never make a dime and have cost their inventors a fortune by the time they have finished and given up.
I went in search of some good reading material for this guy, since he wasn't going to take my word for it when I told him he was going about it all wrong, and found this fantastic article that will explain in greater detail what the invention process is really about. I figured I would share it and possibly save someone a lot of money & heartache in the process.
Just remember this: Real inventors create solutions to problems, they don't dream up crazy ideas. That's what dreamers do. Real inventors are thinkers, problem solvers...not dreamers.

The beloved Angel Oak is only $75,000 away from the much-needed assurance that adjacent properties will not be developed.
That goal seems infinitely doable, given that the campaign has already raised over $6.8 million.
But the Friday, March 14, deadline, just a week from now, looms. And if the balance doesn't come in by then, an eager developer is in the wings.
There is every reason to believe the community will rise to the occasion. More than 10,000 people have already contributed money. Charleston County has designated $4.9 million of Greenbelt funds toward the effort; the City of Charleston, $650,000; the S.C. Conservation Bank, $890,000; Seabrook Island, $70,000; and Kiawah Island, $10,000.
The Lowcountry Open Land Trust (LOLT) and the Historic Charleston Foundation each gave $50,000; and Blackbaud and Boeing each gave $25,000.
Elizabeth Hagood, LOLT executive director, said some donors were waiting to see what County Council would do before pitching in, so the fund-raising timeline was shortened. But an anonymous donor made what she calls "a very generous gift" toward the necessary $400,000 and made the end goal reachable - if the community does its part.
Bringing in $75,000 is no small feat, but neither is producing a huge live oak from a tiny acorn - an oak that would shade generation after generation and survive fierce hurricanes.
Angel Oak advocates come from all walks of life - children awed by the mammoth limbs (the longest is 89 feet long and more than 11 feet around), church groups sharing potluck picnics, science students, men popping the question, conservationists and historians.
Indeed, were it not for the public response to a grassroots campaign, the tree might already be surrounded by dense apartments.
Now, it will not only be protected from run-off, lights, noise and pollution from such development but be comfortably situated on an expanded site that will accommodate walking trails and educational features.
A farm on the other side of the tree has already been put under a conservation easement.
LOLT, which has spearheaded the fund-raising efforts and will own the property, took on the project in two stages. The first, 17 acres, was completed in January.
The second one, now close to completion, is 18.7 acres,
It was an ambitious overall project made possible because of the Angel Oak's extraordinary appeal to people.
Donations may be sent to the Lowcountry Open Land Trust, 43 Wentworth Street, Charleston, 29401. Or gifts can be made online at LOLT.org.

President Obama and the first family arrive on Martha's Vineyard Thursday for their annual summer vacation, but they're not leaving controversy behind.
The country's continued economic problems—and eight Republican presidential candidates reminding the Democrat about them—may leave Obama yearning for the singularity of the issue he faced last year: the aftermath of the Gulf oil spill.
A year later, domestic problems like the S&P credit-rating downgrade, and international concerns including a spike of violence in Iraq and Afghanistan, have sharpened criticism of Obama's decision to take a 10-day vacation in what can be seen as an elite playground.
(PICTURES: Obamas on the Vineyard)
"If I were president today, I wouldn't be looking to go spend 10 days on Martha's Vineyard," Mitt Romney, the GOP frontrunner, said today during a call to WLS-AM in Chicago.
"Now, Martha's Vineyard is in my home state of Massachusetts, so I don't want to say anything negative about people vacationing there. But if you're the president of the United States, and the nation is in crisis—and we're in a jobs crisis right now—then you shouldn't be out vacationing," added Romney, the former governor of Massachusetts.
Despite the criticism, Romney himself will visit the Vineyard during Obama's stay, attending an August 27 fundraiser in Edgartown.
(RELATED: Romney Stays Course Despite Perry Run)
The White House dismisses such questions, noting the president travels with a full communications suite and will be little more than an hour's flight from Washington should there be a need for him to return to the White House.
"I don't think Americans out there would begrudge that notion that the president would spend some time with his family," White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said last week. "The presidency travels with you. He will be in constant communication."
A muted anticipation has already taken hold among island residents and visitors.
Most of Obama's vacations have been overshadowed by similar concerns or weighty matters.
(RELATED: With 'Listening Tour,' Warren Tests Waters for a Senate Run)
His first visit to Martha's Vineyard, in 2009, was marked by the death of Sen. Edward Kennedy. The president and first lady Michelle Obama left the island overnight to attend the Massachusetts Democrat's funeral in Boston.
The president also undertook one piece of official business, announcing he was renominating Ben Bernanke as chairman of the Federal Reserve.
Obama's first trip to his native Hawaii for a holiday vacation, in December 2009, was marked by the Christmas Day attempted terrorist bombing of a Detroit-bound airliner.
Last summer, Obama was criticized for choosing to return to Massachusetts rather than trying to promote the spill recovery with an extended stay along the Gulf Coast. He tried to defuse with a 26-hour, pre-vacation visit to the Florida Panhandle.
Once Obama arrived on Martha's Vineyard, he was neither called away nor held an official news conference, but the middle of his vacation was marred by heavy rain.
(RELATED: Romney Calls for Common Ground, Hails Tea Party)
Things brightened by the end, before Obama flew south to commemorate an event that once prompted questions about President Bush's decision to remain on vacation in Texas: the fifth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina.

The Medal of Honor franchise is taking a break. Electronic Arts announced today that after Medal of Honor: Warfighter missed sales expectations, the series is being taken "out of rotation."
It is not clear what this means for developer Danger Close Games. An EA representative told GameSpot this afternoon that the studio has no announced projects.
"We haven't announced a new project for the Medal of Honor development team, although there are other projects in development in Los Angeles and throughout our other EA studios," the company said. "Medal of Honor is a great franchise with a storied past. We recognize and appreciate the value of the franchise. We're going to give Medal of Honor a rest while we plan its return. We haven't made any decision on how or when it will return."
In years past, Battlefield and Medal of Honor games have traded off releasing every year. EA did not say which franchise could replace Medal of Honor in EA's yearly shooter rotation, though the company said more details will be shared on the next financial call in 90 days. Battlefield 4 is currently in development, with a beta to arrive later this year.
Respawn Entertainment, led by former Call of Duty designers Jason West and Vince Zampella, is currently working on a big-budget unannounced game for EA.

I tried to start over by backing up everything from the airdisk, formatting it to Extended (not journaled) file format and trying it again. I even reset all the settings in the router.
I plugged it in last night and it seemed fine. My windows machines were seeing the airdisk network just fine and transfer speeds were good. However, this morning, I noticed that my windows PC's could no longer view it, although, I am able to view the airdisk from my macbook.
The bigger problem is that, when i plug the drive directly into my computer, i get the errors below, saying that it cannot be repaired and that it is read-only. I'm hoping these two issues are related, but I NEED to be able to write to this disk when plugged into the laptop (I used to be able to, but no longer).
The pics below are what I was getting before AND after I reformatted the disk and started over. I really have no clue what is happening here. Do you think the PC's connecting to it are messing up permissions? The router has not lost power and all disks were ejected properly. I've never had these errors before when plugging into a laptop and it has only started after upgrading to leopard and downgrading back from 7.2.1 to 7.1.1.
(the images are hosted on my company's server and are safe).
The error when plugged in (pops up after being plugged in)

Could it be leopard? This is driving me crazy. Everything worked fine before this. I hope it isnt caused by leopard, as I really like the OS so far.
Thanks so much!!

however, i'm still noticing that whenever i plug the airdisk into my macbook after a couple hours or so of use, i get the errors above in the pics. if i plug it back into the router, im able to write to it.
that would be fine, except i have to move hundreds of gigs worth of data BACK onto the drive from when i formatted it, which can be a ***** going over a network...

WASHINGTON (AP) – Kelly Clarkson says it's the coolest photo she's ever been in: a photo of her shaking hands with President Barack Obama after she sang at his inauguration. It's the picture of Clarkson with another president that's taken fire on the Internet: Bill Clinton. He photobombed her as she sang "My Country 'Tis Of Thee." The photo shows Clinton peeking around the person in front of him so he could see Clarkson.

One of the main foods of the panda is bamboo. The pandas depend heavily on bamboo to survive. It is the clearing of the bamboo forests in china that caused the pandas move more into the rain forests and jungles. The giant pandas have extremely strong jaws and teeth that help them to chew the bamboo shoots. The pandas can eat more than 20 kilograms of bamboo in one single day.
They are as big as an American black bear in size. Each adult panda can weigh up to 500 pounds. The panda mainly depends on vegetarian food and can digest large amounts bamboo in a single day. They spend nearly 14 hours in a day eating bamboo. Also, fortunately for them, there is abundant bamboo in the rain forests. Many people think that the pandas are herbivores and by choice they eat only leaves and bamboo. However, sometimes, the panda was also found eating carcasses of dead animals. So that classifies the panda into carnivorous animal also. However, unlike other carnivores the panda was never found hunting. Only if it finds a dead animal, will the panda feed on the carcass.
In captivity, the pandas are, however, fed only bamboo in the zoo. The giant panda is known for its huge appetite.
