Somewhere I recall stumbling across a strange sentence, "Mothers are upper rooms." The comment stopped me in my tracks. What on earth could that mean? The only upper room images I could conjure were pictures of frightened disciples gathered behind locked doors. I had heard many sermons based on the topic of fear versus faith. But, never had motherhood been connected with that imagery.

Continuing with the discussion of butterflies, the size of the butterfly's wingspan can range from one-inch to more than 4 inches. Some are small and their color matches the foliage and makes them hard to spot.
Southern magnolias have already begun their summer show and the early-blooming crape myrtles like Natchez won't be far behind. Included are a few of the things I learned after observing these plants over the years.
Little Gem continues to be the most popular southern magnolia in the trade. There are some perfectly good reasons for that. It fits better into most gardens since it only reaches about 30 feet or so. Little Gem also blooms heavily at an early age. That's something many of the southern magnolias don't do.
Franklin Square Gallery in Southport is calling for artists for its summer regional show, a juried exhibition June 21-July 17.
Fee is $30 for two pieces of art. Entry forms are due by June 4 and work must be submitted for judging between 10 a.m.-4 p.m. June 18.
Two nationally known artists, both now working in North Carolina, will jury the show. The 2D judge is Vae Hamilton, known for her collages. The 3D judge is Dina Wilde-Ramsing, whose pottery is in collections throughout the state.
Paws Place Animal Rescue in Boiling Spring Lakes is having a fundraising yard sale 8 a.m.-noon Saturday, June 12.

Tax receipts will be given for donations. For information, call (910) 845-7297.
In the United States, nearly 740,000 people experience a stroke each year. Join Richard Crane, M.D., of Brunswick Community Hospital, at a free seminar on Thursday, May 20, to learn more about how to prevent and recognize a stroke.
The seminar, which is part of Brunswick Community Hospital's Focus on Health lecture series, will begin at 2:30 p.m. at the Brunswick Electric Community Room, 795 Ocean Highway, Shallotte. Light refreshments will be served.
Cinco de Mayo is probably one of the most-recognized celebrations in the United States. It's comparable to the Chinese celebration of Chinese New Year and St. Patrick's Day for us Irish folks.
Five visible planets are viewable at different times from early evening to early morning this month. In the early evening, three of the five naked eye planets are ready for your viewing pleasure. Two more naked eye planets appear in the wee hours of the morning.
Naked eye, if you are unfamiliar with the term, means you do not need any magnifying aids to see the planet. Here is the where and when of the visibility of the planets in the month of May.

text: 947 FXUS63 KLSX 292251 AFDLSX Area Forecast Discussion...Updated Aviation National Weather Service Saint Louis MO 551 PM CDT FRI APR 29 2016 .SHORT TERM... (Through Late Tonight) Issued at 315 PM CDT Fri Apr 29 2016 Will show an increase in showers and thunderstorms this afternoon this evening as low level moisture convergence begins to increase over the area. Will keep categorical PoPs over the entire area overnight as low level moisture increases on the nose of a 40kt low level jet. This will occur under increasing mid-upper ascent of large upper low now entering southern Plains. Severe weather threat tonight will be limited by the lack of instability, but moisture will be plentiful with increasing PWATs around 1.5 by 12Z. Widespread lows in the 50s still look good and are close to MOS guidance. Britt .LONG TERM... (Saturday through Next Friday) Issued at 315 PM CDT Fri Apr 29 2016 (Saturday through Monday) Main concern will continue to be the potential for severe storms on Saturday and Saturday evening. Widespread showers and thunderstorms should be ongoing during the early morning hours as there will still be some strong low level moisture convergence underlying the mid level ascent. This will allow for the widespread showers and thunderstorms to end from southwest to northeast during the late morning and early afternoon hours. Still have some concern about redevelopment of thunderstorms along and south of I-70 during the afternoon and evening hours. Latest run of the GFS is farther north of the surface low which matches better with the more consistent ECMWF and NAM. Will continue to show chance PoPS for thunderstorms during the afternoon and evening. Model MUCAPES are in the 1000- 2000 J/kg range with deep layer that supports supercells. Hodographs in the warm sector suggests a sheared environment that would favor multicells with a damaging wind potential. However, could not rule out a brief tornado potential along the warm front. Severe potential should end toward late evening once the cold front moves east of the CWA. Shower chances will continue into Sunday as the upper low passes through the area. (Tuesday through Friday) GFS and ECMWF continues to show highly amplified upper flow over North America next week with a deep trough over the eastern CONUS and a ridge over the Rocky Mountains. This will result in northerly upper flow aloft through the period that is cutoff from a supply of Gulf Moisture, so will keep forecast mainly dry for now. GFS and ECMWF does show a cold front that moves across the area from the north on Wednesday night. 850mb temperatures look cooler today than previous runs, which support temperatures closer to normal as we go into early May. Britt && .AVIATION... (For the 00z TAFs through 00z Saturday Evening) Issued at 518 PM CDT Fri Apr 29 2016 MVFR cigs should continue in UIN this evening, while ceilings gradually drop into the MVFR catagory elsewhere later this evening and overnight as an intensifying southerly low level jet brings increasing low level moisture into the area. Showers and thunderstorms now over portions of eastern KS and western MO south into eastern OK and western AR will spread east-northeastward into COU around 03Z later this evening and into UIN and the St Louis metro area around 06Z Saturday. Ceilings and visibilities may at least briefly drop into the IFR catagory late tonight and early Saturday morning with the rain or showers and embedded elevated storms. Most of the showers and storms should shift east-northeast of the taf sites by late Saturday morning or early afternoon as a warm front shifts northeast of the area. East-northeasterly surface wind will become more due easterly later this evening, then veer around to a south-southwesterly direction Saturday afternoon after passage of the warm front. Specifics for KSTL: Showers and a few storms should move into STL around 05-06Z tonight with the cloud ceiling dropping into the MVFR catagory. Showers and a few storms should continue late tonight and much of Saturday morning with ceilings and visibilities down into the IFR catagory at times. Most of the showers and storms should shift east-northeast of STL by early afternoon with the potential of scattered storms redeveloping late Saturday afternoon or early evening. The prevailing ceiling will become VFR Saturday afternoon. Easterly surface wind will continue tonight, then veer around to a southeasterly direction Saturday morning, and a south-southwesterly direction Saturday afternoon.

On Monday we introduced you to Jeremy Morlock, one of five Joint Base Lewis-McChord soldiers accused of the pre-meditated murder of three unarmed Afghans. In a chilling video, the 22-year-old Alaskan blithely recounted one of the killings for Army investigators. Now another newly-leaked video seems to help explain, in part, why Morlock and his fellow soldiers would have allegedly perpetrated crimes so heinous: intimidation from their commanding officer, Sergeant Calvin Gibbs.
In the video below, recently leaked to ABC News, another soldier tells investigators that Gibbs plotted to maim "Stoner," the whistleblower who first sparked the investigation, and murder his mom upon returning to Fort Lewis. Morlock and Adam Winfield, another soldier accused of murder, have both spoken out about similar intimidation.
Morlock's hearing on Monday, the first of what will be many court proceedings, attracted international attention. Present were reporters from the Los Angeles and New York Times, national TV networks and France's version of the AP.
During a lunch recess, we the assembled media had the disorienting experience of walking out of a courtroom where we'd just heard testimony and into a cafeteria where a talking head on CNN was talking about the testimony we'd just heard.
The case is being used as an entry point for all sorts of larger questions related to the war: the wisdom of our continued military presence in Iraq and Afghanistan; treatment, or lack there-of, of traumatic battlefield brain injuries; and the extent to which our troops are over-medicated -- as part of his defense, Morlock's lawyer brought in a Boston toxicologist to talk about how his client might have been made highly suggestible by his prescriptions for 10 different pain killers, sleep aids and anti-depressents.
But at their heart, these cases are also simply about a group of young men thrust into a highly stressful situation. And the way one of those men reportedly leveraged that stress to allegedly get his fellow soldiers to do things that, under normal circumstances, they might never have done.

Pregnant Kate Middleton's Cousin: Kate Giving Birth in "Next Few Days"
It looks like Prince William should get ready to pass out cigars!
Pregnant Kate Middleton may be giving birth any day now, which would be sooner than her expected due date, according to Life & Style.
Kate's due date is this Saturday, July 13, but her cousin Lillian Lowers thinks that the royal bundle of joy could greet us even earlier than that.
"I think it's going to happen in the next few days," Liliian reveals. "No one could be more enthusiastic than me." Uh, perhaps Lillian has never met us, because we believe that we're the most excited, thank you very much!
And Lillian isn't the only relative who's thrilled about the little one, as William's aunt Sarah Ferguson is, too.
"It's very exciting," says Fergie. "Any new birth is brilliant news."
We can't wait for Kate to give birth — which apparently won't be much longer!

After upgrading one of my MacBook Pros to Lion, I've been encountering a consistent problem when attempting to engage in a video chat with my parents who are using a MacBook that is still running Snow Leopard.
Prior to the Lion upgrade, video chats worked flawlessly, but after the Lion upgrade, the audio coming from the Snow Leopard machine is completely gone. Video alone works fine in both directions, and the Snow Leopard client is receiving audio from the Lion client, but the Lion client is not receiving any audio from the Snow Leopard client according to the iChat connection doctor.
Not a missing update/firmware issue-
Both machines have all the latest OS updates applied.
Not a hardware deficiency issue-
Both machines were able to engage in flawless video chats using iChat prior to one machine being upgraded to Lion.
Not a bandwidth issue-
MacBook Pro (Lion) is hard wired to an ethernet connection which ties into a fiber optic connection 100Mbit/100Mbit (down/up).
MacBook (Snow Leopard) is hard wired to an ethernet connection tied into a AT&T Uverse connection 24Mbit/3Mbit (down/up).
As a troublshooting step, each machine was tested with iChat bandwidth limitation set to 500k, 1Mbit, and 2Mbit.
Not a ports issue-
As a troublshooting step, both machines were placed into each respective LAN/WAN DMZ.
Not a firewall issue-
Both machines are not running with a firewall enabled.
Not a network configuration issue-
Video chat continues to work flawlessly between Snow Leopard only clients from the same networks over the Internet (tested with additional Snow Leopard clients on my end that have yet to be upgraded to Lion).
Not a microphone or sound configuration issue
First thing checked, double checked, and checked again.
After checking the connection doctor within iChat during one of the problematic video chats, it reveals that "audio quality" from the Snow Leopard client is always 0%.
Has anyone else encountered this problem? Moreover, is there a solution?
BTW, Facetime video calls between all clients work fine, but we all hate Facetime and prefer to continue using iChat.
Any help would be sincerely appreciated.
Thank you.

I used TimeMachine to revert from v11 to v10.7 iTunes is working fine, playlists, albums, etc. Except...at iTunes Store I'm getting 'an unknown error occurred (-42408)' when it first starts up and if I try to download, for instance, the free song of the week. I can play samples and browse the Store just fine. I also get error 42408 when I try to deauthorize/authorize this computer.
I've gone back a couple times in TM to an earlier iTunesLibrary.itl and tried 'previous iTunes Libraries' while in TM. I've also trashed com.apple.itunes.plist.
Any ideas appreciated...as opposed to ranting how you're going to switch over to the dark side.
Installation of the new iTunes has installed a lot of files in a lot of places, and you have to restore the old versions. Any easy way (I've done it) involves the program Pacifist. Instructions are here:
Note: no need to use "MacZapper". Just follow the instructions re. pacifist, and let pacifist replace the application as well as all of the auxilliary files. Every time pacifist asks if you want to replace a file, click replace.
Thanks, Fred. I might go the "Pacifist route" with just a trial period of its use. But, that's a lot of hoops to go thru when I already have v10.7 installed and working; except for the Store error.
I suspect error -42408 is due to residual later versions of support files than those which work with iTunes 10.7. Several possible options:
1) Restore them from another source (e.g., a Time Machine backup). Check https://discussions.apple.com/message/20441424 which requires you have a Time Machine backup. A variant of this is at: https://discussions.apple.com/message/20448184
2) Use Pacifist to re-install iTunes 10.7 and let it install the old versions over the new versions by responding "yes" when it asks if you want to replace files.
3) Untested. If you delete the specific iTunes system files the 10.7 installer might just replace them with the old version as long as it doesn't see a newer version in place.
This may include these files in /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/ which apparently get updated by iTunes 11:
Message was edited by: Limnos
Thanks for the replies. So...use TM to restore these?
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/ which apparently get updated by iTunes 11:
Is that at HD/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/
Or 'home'/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/?
It looks like the top system level, not your user level. With reference to:
http://www.macgurulounge.com/troubleshoot-problems-getting-itunes-to-talk-to-you r-iphone-ipad-or-ipod/
I still use iTunes 7.5 under OSX 10.4 and don't have any of those files.
I also ordered a 10.6 Install Disc from Apple. I needed one anyway. I thought I'd use it to then go to Utilities>TM and go back to a Previous Library.
One problem I'm having with my 'previous' files is that I've renamed the last couple of good ones. Now my previous files are too old; missing about 20 songs and three or four (meticulously created) playlists.
Yes, those are in 'HD' as opposed to 'Home'. They are quite embedded and I don't think I want to mess with all that.
I did use Time Machine to restore:
Album Artwork/
iTunes Library Extras.itdb
iTunes Library Genius.itdb
iTunes Library.itl
Previous iTunes Libraries/
iTunes Music Library.xml
All to no avail. Still getting the error 42408 on Store startup and when I try to buy something.
Limnos...still using 10.4 huh? I must say that 10.6 is a great improvement. I haven't had to run Disk Utilities nor anything like TT Pro or Disk Warrior since going to it! How many years now? It's just very stable. And, I think most Macsters like iTunes 10 pretty well.
When I get the 10.6 Install Disc I might even do a System Restore; just get er done once and for all. 10.6 is so stable I've never had the need for something like Pacifist. Until iTunes 11 came along. On the other hand, seems like when iTunes 10 came out, there was an outcry too. But v11 is different; it's a complete overhaul. Actually, it seems many people like it; a few of us don't.
Thanks again.
My computer won't run anything newer than OSX 10.5. I don't want iTunes 10 or 9 or 8 because there's so much overhead on the marketing bells and whistles vs. the one or two minor improvements I might actually use (such as find exact duplicates). iTunes 7.5 is rock solid for me and does 95% of what I would actually use in iTunes 10 and probably 110% of what I would use in iTunes 11.
I haven't had to reinstall Tiger since it was first installed in 2005. I am still working off the same installation. I do have Diskwarrior but I bought it to use on another drive that had errors.
I don't know the details on those system files. If they are iTunes-specific then re-installing the operating system won't replace them with an earlier version. I don't know why you don't just use Pacifist. It looks like many others have successfully for just the problem you are encountering and I have seen the software recommended for years for other purposes too. Just make a clone backup of your computer and have at it.
I reinstalled with TM :
first : itunes 10.7
then : 'home'/Music/iTunes/
iTunes Library.itl
iTunes Library Extras.itdb
iTunes Library Genius.itdb
iTunes Music Library.xml
then /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/
and it works
My configuration : mac osx 10.6.8
I have success. yay
I used the Install Disc to run Utiliies>restore; using my TM external HD as the source. I did not do a system reinstall. My system is now completely as it was on Nov 28th...with a fully functional iTunes 10.7. I think it's the simplist method. I didn't have to go thru all those steps the other methods call for; most especially messing with Terminal.
Limnos, I dig how you've stuck with tried and true older machines, OS, and apps. Good for you!
Thanks also to fredgoodman and vcorma (and a few others) who offer help instead of rants and vitriol toward Apple.
'vcorma' Not to devalue what you've done, and I appreciate your posting. But, was that 10 steps you took? Eg use TM to restore iTunes Library.itl; then open again to restore iTunes Library Extras.itdb; then open again to restore iTunes Library Genius.itdb...and on down thru the list. Or, were you able to click on all those files and restore in one fell swoop?
@David Cun I am in the same boat as you were. Please forgive the question but can you describe exactly what you did when you ran the Install disk? I've never done that before and it would be really helpful to know the step by step. Thanks so much!
After getting the OS Installer running, it will be ready to install the OS and ask for your preferred language. Stop. Click on "Utilities" at the top of the window. You'll be given the 'Restore' option and using your external TM backup disc. I must admit I wasn't real familiar with the process my own self...and ended up doing a 'system restore' from November 28th, the day before I updated to v11. It took about 30 mins. But, that's okay; I just did other stuff until it was finished.
Perhaps someone can chime in on how to do just the 'iTunes restore' instead of a 'system restore'. Or, maybe you'll see that option; maybe I just jumped in too quickly.
If you want to use the 'Pacifist method', I found this one at one of the other threads, "I HATE THE NEW iTUNES..." Looks like quite to-the-point advice.
"...I just followed the advice of Joe Streno (http://www.emacconsulting.com/apple/itunes/downgrade-itunes-11-to-itunes-10-7/

The Winning Game Plan for Stocks in 2012
(DIS - Get Report), automakers such as Ford (F) and GM (GM), and a wide range of retailers are bound to benefit. The fact that retailers such as Kohl's (KSS - Get Report) and Macy's (M - Get Report) trade for around 10 times projected fiscal (January) 2013 profits could start to attract bargain hunters. Best Buy (BBY - Get Report), trading at just 7.5 times projected (February) 2013 earnings, may be the best value among large retailers. Is that backdrop likely? Well, a look back to 10 years ago may be constructive.In 2001 and 2003, the U.S. economy shed a combined 2.4 million jobs. By 2003, investors were still fretting about a "jobless recovery." You hear that same refrain today, but if history is any guide, then employment trends may finally perk up in 2012. So if the U.S. economy creates 2 million new jobs in 2012, then you should expect a solid market rally. Of course, every silver lining has a touch of grey (as noted by the Grateful Dead), and an improving economy would likely lead investors to start thinking about interest rate hikes. Rates are so low that even a moderate boost in rates would still be quite benign in terms of the broader stock market. But rate-sensitive stocks such as utilities, telecom-service providers and other yield plays would look comparatively less appealing once government bonds start to offer more respectable payouts. The outlook for industrial stocks would be decidedly mixed. An improving U.S. economy surely helps, but prolonged economic weakness in Europe and Japan, coupled with a possible slowdown in China would likely crimp export demand. Goldman Sachs expects sales growth for U.S. industrials to slow from a projected 10% in 2011 to just 6% in 2012. Still, many industrial stocks such as Ingersoll-Rand (IR) and Caterpillar (CAT) appear fairly inexpensive at around 10 times projected 2012 profits. Risks to Consider: It may be a bit too soon to predict a healthy U.S. economy for 2012. A resolution to the European crisis would surely help, not only to stave off a deep recession in that part of the world, but to remove the psychological overhang for U.S. stocks.The outlook for many other sectors depends on the pace of employment gains and changes to the Federal Reserve's interest rate stance. If the economy really gains a head of steam, then consumer discretionary stocks such as Disney

Hip-Hop Meets Its Match
By DOUGLAS CENTURY
Published: June 11, 2000
ON a drizzly morning late last month, just after 6 a.m., the radio waves crackled with scorn as Star and Buc Wild broadcast from the West Village studios of WQHT-FM, Hot 97. ''Sounds of venom!'' Star hissed, dressed in a carefully angled cream Kangol cap, rocking back and forth on his pumpkin-colored Timberland boots.
''Spitting fire!'' added Buc Wild, who sat sleepy-eyed in a billowing black T-shirt, his hair springing up through his headphones like an electrified mop.
''I got venom in my heart because the Knicks are going down, folks,'' Star said, adding with a laugh, ''Oh yes you are.'' With the entire city gripped by orange-toweled Knicks playoff fever, Star and Buc Wild, the hosts of Hot 97's morning drive-time show, were heaping abuse on the hometown heroes. The previous night, in the opening game of the Eastern Conference finals, the Knicks had been drubbed by the Indiana Pacers, and now Star and Buc Wild could scarcely contain their contumely.
''Can we get a thugged-out white boy on the New York Knicks?'' demanded Star with a mischievous grin. ''These Knick fans got me upset. I'm hyped. I'm riled up. A thugged-out white boy named Austin Croshere from Indiana ran circles around those bums last night. We need a thugged-out white boy on New York and then maybe, maybe, I'll become a Knick fan.''
As a radio duo, Star and Buc Wild are fast becoming the most controversial figures in hip-hop. Since their show, ''The Star and Buc Wild Morning Show,'' began in March on New York's leading rap station, each weekday morning from 6 to 10, they hurl insults at athletes, movie stars and revered members of hip-hop royalty. Their style can be raunchy, tasteless and sometimes -- against one's better judgment -- sidesplittingly funny.
While the pair might seem like just the latest members of radio's long-running school of shock jocks, the difference is that black-oriented radio has rarely seen this kind of lancing of sacred cows. Star and Buc Wild have landed in a music scene that, for all its seeming iconoclasm, is rife with boosterism and a fawning regard for celebrity. ''I'm not trying to be their buddy or their pal,'' Star said of the music-industry heavyweights he often lampoons, including Foxy Brown, Mariah Carey and Russell Simmons. ''That's why I can bring the fire the way I do.''
Even Lauryn Hill, hip-hop's much loved philosopher-queen, has been a target. Introducing one of her hit songs recently, Star said with a cackle, ''Here she is, the woman who's running around with two kids out of wedlock and still has the nerve to get up on stage quoting Scriptures from the Bible -- Lauryn Hill.''
Bill Adler, a longtime music journalist and author of a biography of Run-DMC, said: ''Star has definitely distinguished himself as a contrarian. A lot of what he's saying is quite brave. There ought to be more unfettered criticism of the big figures in hip-hop, and there's far too little of it right now.'' At the same time, Mr. Adler faults Star for often being sophomoric. ''I suppose the same can be said about Howard Stern,'' he said.
That's an influence that Star -- who was born Troi Torain in Scotch Plains, N.J., and moved to Brooklyn when he was 18 -- happily acknowledges. ''I've always listened to Howard Stern,'' he said. ''I'm a big, big Stern supporter. In fact, I called up Gary Dell'Abate, Howard's producer, the first 30 days we were on the air, just to say, 'Hey we're just giving props to the King of All Media -- let Howard know we're not trying to rip off his style, but we are heavily influenced by him.' ''
Like Mr. Stern, whose own syndicated talk show on WXRK-FM continues to dominate the morning drive-time competition in Arbitron ratings, Star and Buc Wild have quickly polarized their radio audience. ''Their show is stupid, redundant, and most people definitely can't stand them,'' said Heide Alaia, a broadcasting student at New York University. ''There's no substance to what they do. All they do is player-hate, and they're just using it as a commercial ploy. To tell you the truth, they make me crazy.''
The volume of reaction, both pro and con, has surprised the management of Hot 97, where the early morning show was led for several years by the more genial team of Ed Lover, Dr. Dre and Lisa G. ''Morning drive is the most competitive slot of the day,'' Tracy Cloherty, Hot 97's programming director, said. ''You're competing against 1010 WINS and Howard Stern and people watching 'Good Morning America.' Plus the younger audience, which is our core listening group, tends not to listen to the radio much in the morning. But for Star and Buc Wild, being on the air less than two months, the recognition is astonishing. We've never seen anything like it. The listeners might not like them, but they definitely know who they are.''
The show regularly plays critical voice-mail messages left by listeners, many of which have to be bleeped clean of profanities. In the last few weeks, the show has managed to anger leading rappers like Foxy Brown, Method Man and his entire Wu-Tang Clan, incidents that Star and Buc Wild delightfully dissect on the air.

Ski rescue legislation efforts seen waning
MONTPELIER The support for recouping the cost of rescuing lost out-of-bound skiers has waned.
Three bills were proposed this session that would assign financial and sometimes criminal responsibility when skiers and snowboarders travel outside boundaries and become lost.
Rep. Larry Townsend, D-Randolph, and Sen. Kevin Mullin, R-Rutland, introduced bills that would fine skiers and snowboarders up to $500 for going out of bounds at a Vermont resort. Mullins bill has been withdrawn, and Townsend said he was not going to pursue his.
Rep. Thomas Terenzini, R-Rutland, proposed a bill that would hold a ski resort responsible for paying the rescue crews if a skier or snowboarder got lost on its mountain.MORE IN Central VermontBARRE The Vermont Philharmonic, at its final concert of the 2015-16 season, proved most...

Father-son duo win championships at HartsellePublished 4:36pm Wednesday, May 29, 2013
Joy Harris
Hartselle Enquirer
Carlton and Jordan Guyse have spent countless hours of this year thinking about Hartselle baseball games, practices, wins, losses, strategies and injuries. Carlton and Jordan are also the first father-son duo to win 5A baseball state championships at Hartselle.
Carlton was center fielder on the 1990 team that brought Hartselle its first state championship in baseball. He was a part of Head Coach William Booth's first state championship win, and now his son also got to be a part of Coach Booth's eighth win. Jordan played left field on this year's title team.
Carlton has been coaching Jordan and many other current Hartselle baseball players since they were 5 years old. He coached them each summer in the high school's off-season, watching them grow and progress as a team.
"I knew these boys were definitely capable of taking state," Carlton said. "They should have last year when they made it to the fourth round of playoffs, so we really had high hopes for this year. They had the most depth of any team in the program since at least 1987."
Jordan's father was both excited and sad over his son's last season of high school baseball.
"I knew this year would close out an important phase in Jordan's life, but I also hoped this would be the year they won it all, so I had mixed emotions starting the season," Carlton said.
Of the 14 seniors on the team this year, all 14 are going to college, 11 on academic or athletic scholarships. The overall senior GPA was 3.82, displaying the discipline from the parents, coaches and players. Many of the seniors were also on the state championship football team.
Jordan had mixed emotions on the conclusion of his baseball career.
"It was painful to turn in my uniforms, but ending with a state title made it bearable," Jordan said. "I got to play on a team that became family to me. I couldn't have asked for a better group of guys to share this with."
As a former player, Carlton could relate to his son's success on multiple levels.
"I am excited for him because I've been through it, and I know what this means for him," Carlton said. "I was also happy for the team as a coach, a dad and a friend."
Several of Carlton's teammates have sons who will soon come through the Hartselle Baseball program and hopefully go on to win more state championships, but Carlton and Jordan are proud to be Coach Booth's first father and son state champs.
Jordan says Coach Booth is still the same as when his dad was playing, but Booth's expectations have changed quite a bit.
"From day one we set our sights on a state title," Jordan said. "We are expected to make it to playoffs, and if we don't, it's a real disappointment. When my dad was playing, playoffs were the goal, not the expectation."
Jordan has wanted a state championship ring like his dad's for quite a while, and now he has one.
"Dad can't brag anymore," said Jordan. "I have a ring that will hopefully be bigger than his now."

North Texas Lake Openings & AccessOfficials with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers say while most waterways are open, lake visitors will need to do their homework to find out if there is access to parks, boat ramps, marinas and recreational facilities.
Learn Water Safety Tips Before Heading To The Pool Or LakeWhile thousands of North Texans enjoy the summer weather by heading to area lakes or neighborhood swimming pools, there are some safety precautions to keep in mind before taking a dip.
Texas Kicks Off Campaign To Halt Spread Of Zebra MusselsTexas has kicked off a public awareness campaign to help stop the spread of invasive zebra mussels as boaters prepare for the summer.
Boat Draining For Zebra Mussels Goes Statewide Holiday boating over Fourth of July weekend in Texas will include more regulations meant to stop the spread of invasive zebra mussels.
Texas' Recent Rains Improve Drought, Lake Levels Plentiful rainfall this past week improved conditions across Texas, although 69 percent of the state remained in some drought stage. Just less than 5 percent of the state was in the driest category on the map, down from about 6.6 percent a week ago.
1 Dead After Watercraft Accident On Joe Pool LakeOne person is dead after a personal watercraft accident on Joe Pool Lake. There were four friends, on two separate jet skis, when one 't-boned' the other. The impact killed one of the drivers – a 42-year-old man.
Drought & Low Water Levels = Slow Business On Area LakesThe start of summer is usually synonymous with big business for shops along North Texas lakes. But with water levels sitting at historic lows, boaters are scarce.
Rules To Combat Zebra Mussels Extended StatewideA new Texas rule, just passed by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission, expands boat draining rules from 47 counties to statewide to combat the spread of Zebra mussels.
Despite Recent Rain, More Is Needed To Fill Depleted LakesFinally! Drenching rains covered North Texas late last week and Monday. That's two storms in just under a week. That has to be good news for all of our lakes, right?
Lakes & Lakefront Property Drying Up As Drought ContinuesThere is no escaping the signs of the plummeting lake levels in Granbury. Boat ramps are landlocked, islands and debris are appearing everywhere, and boat docks are high and dry.
Texas Considers Expanding Zebra Mussel MeasuresA state commission is considering adding two Central Texas counties to the list of 17 where boaters are required to help keep invasive zebra mussels from spreading.
State Officials Propose Restrictions To Stop Zebra MusselsState officials concerned about the migration of zebra mussels around North Texas have proposed requiring all boats operating on public water in 17 counties to be drained after each use.

Arsenal midfielder Mikel Arteta believes David Moyes will be successful with Manchester United.
Arteta played for Moyes at Everton.
"We hope the fact all the other top teams have changed their boss will help us this season. When you bring in a new coach, you need time to adapt.
"But I still think United will be a big threat.
"I worked with David Moyes at Everton for many years and he's a very clever man.
"He knows he's working with players who have been really successful so I don't think he's suddenly going to make too many changes. He doesn't need to."

Opening walking tour held SaturdayPublished 4:00am Thursday, April 11, 2013
Attendees at Saturday morning's heritage walking tour were treated to information about Wetumpka's antebellum churches and West Side businesses and residences.
In the first of four tours this year, local historian Joe Allen Turner shared a few of the stories about the city's history that he has gleaned through the years.
After a brief synopsis of the area's early days, Turner moved on to the day's principal topic.
"We have three antebellum churches still in existence – First Baptist, First Methodist and First Presbyterian," he told his listeners.
"But there was a fourth one – an Episcopal church. The congregation eventually dwindled away and the building fell into disrepair and was torn down."
Turner said no one is quite certain where the church stood.
"I've heard it was somewhere on the river bank," he said.
Turner explained that the Methodist Church was organized in 1819, the Baptist Church in 1821 and the Presbyterian Church in 1836.
He shared tidbits about each site.
Turner noted that Tallulah Bankhead's grandparents were married in the Presbyterian Church and that Bankhead's sister lived in the city for a time.
First Baptist, Turner said, was initially located on the east side of the river but moved to its present vicinity after the original building burned.
The current property was leased in 1845.
The bricks of the First Methodist Church were made by hand, he said.
Turner also talked about the businesses that once thrived on the west bank of the Coosa River.
"The West Side had a theater complete with a stage, velvet curtains and scenery," he said. "In 1833, Mr. Barnum came through with his Siamese twins on exhibit."
There were two hotels on the city's west side, in addition to the large three-story hotel at the Harrogate Springs resort, he explained.
"There were so many hotels because Wetumpka was at the head of navigation going all the way to Mobile and on to New Orleans," said Turner.
"People would bring merchandise and supplies from further north to be shipped south, and goods from New Orleans and Mobile would come here to be sent back north.
"It was really a thriving busy place, and got off to a fast start. But when the steamship business declined because of the railroad, it sort of fizzled out."
Turner said his lifelong interest in the city's past began when he was a child. As he listened to his grandparents and their contemporaries talk about their own bygone days, he said he was struck by the realization that once his elders were gone much of the area's history would be lost beyond recall.
"That's why everyone wants you to write a book," teased Jean Slaughter, one of the attendees.
"You need to sit down every night and write notes or record stories."
At the end of the tour, attendees regrouped at the Elmore County Museum for refreshments.
The walking tours will continue for the next three Saturdays.
Tours begin at 10 a.m. each date and attendees should meet at the museum.
Wetumpka has hosted heritage walking tours each year since 2003 as part of a statewide program spearheaded by the Alabama Tourism Department.
This is the 11th year for the tours.

During my pregnancy, all of our doctors (perinatal, ob, cardoligist) told us that there are not levels of Down Syndrome. Well, ofcoarse there are! Ava is sitting up perfectly at 8.5 months, and she is eating any type of baby food or puree we give her and has no sensory issues to speak of. She grabs a spoon from me and feeds herself, she reaches for things, trys to crawl, rolls over both sides and gets all over our living room by rolling and kind of crawling. Her muscle tone is certainly up there. Now, her level of intelligence will certainly be of a lower iq (i get that) but physically I am seeing a wide range in our lo's. I am not bragging that Ava is doing well (though grateful and happy about it certainly) just confused as to why the doctors say there are not levels. It seems that they want to paint the darkest picture so parents will abort these beautiful people. Regardless the tone of Ava, we would still be completely in love with her, but......I will post this on the DS pregnancy board as well. The fact is, that they are not SLOW at everything and they deserve so much more credit than the doctors are giving them. Just a thought I wanted to share.
Levels of Down Syndrome
loving mom to Alex 12-1-2003, Ava 4-16-2010 (Trisomy 21 and AVSD)
Technically, the doctors are correct. You either have DS or you don't, there are no "levels." (Translocation and Mosaic make up a very small percentage of the DS population, and they are different types of DS, but not really "levels.")
That having been said, the population of people who have Down syndrome have varying degrees of cognitive ability, gross motor skills, fine motor skills, verbal skills, with variation in personalities, appearance, and interests. The DS population is a set of diverse people.

I think that it boils down to poor communication on the doctors' parts. They're actually technically right, there aren't "levels" to speak of. You either have DS or you don't (ok, except for mosaic T-21, when every single cell isn't affected). What they could do a much better job of describing is that every person with DS in unique and will have his or her own set of strengths and challenges, just like everyone else. They focus on DS as the deciding core of who this baby will be, forgetting that that 21st chromosome isn't the only genetic material that said baby will have! However, docs still really don't have a good way to tell how DS will impact any particular child's health and mental function, so I find that they tend to gloss over that a bit and treat the cognitive delay as a fact, when in reality they have no way of knowing how delayed a particular child will be. A good genetic counselor will say that congnitive function varies but that most children with DS fall into the mild-to-moderately delayed range.
7+ years after having our daughter, I am continually reminded of the "level" of individuality in the DS population -- I see kids who are potty trained at 2, others who still haven't mastered bladder control at age 6, kids who sign and speak like there's no tomorrow, kids who prefer to be quiet, kids (Nancy's daughter Gabbi) who get their own popcorn at age 6 (ok, I'm a bit jealous of this one, but Abigail's gonna have to wait to try this - our microwave is on top of the gas range), kids (like mine) who read and write, kids who understand math (not mine!)... the list goes on.
We are all parents or expectant parents of children who will be who they are - we can only help them along the way and encourage them to take pride in the things they do well and try with a smile on their face when something's tougher. It's my experience that our kids with DS are incredibly resilient, patient and focused individuals.

Ditto Amy!
And yes Gabby makes her own popcorn, and has her first belt in Karate, knows the value of some coins, is reading many sight words, and she is still not potty trained. Thus the "mix" of skills!

Both my perinatologist and genetic counselor were very clear that there is a spectrum of kids with DS. I think the frustrating thing for me is you don't know until 2 or 3 years down the road which end of the spectrum your child will be. Of course this is true for all children, not just those with DS.
I wouldn't put anything in cement for any kid at 2-3 years. People with DS keep learning all their lives.
Yeah, I thought there was a sort of "spectrum" for Ds, cognitively speaking. And, I've heard numerous times that cognitive impairment isn't related to how affected they are physically--the 2 don't go hand-in-hand.
I have a son with Asperger's Syndrome, so he's considered to be low on the autism spectrum. We knew something was up with him from the time he was little, but he wasn't diagnosed with Asperger's till he was 6 1/2, and then it was a couple more years before I had all of his therapies, IEP accomodations, and such, all squared away. I'd have to say that one of the positives about Down syndrome is that these kiddos are immediately treated as though they're going to be very "affected." They get Early Intervention and medical screenings, even though it's not known until they're a little older just how cognitively impaired they're going to be. I think it's pretty cool, because all the early intervention stuff makes a big difference in what they can achieve (or so I've heard!). I'm personally amazed that my little boy automatically gets into the special needs preschool in our district with the Ds diagnosis alone (I couldn't get my Aspie son into that program, even though I knew he'd benefit, simply because I didn't have a definite diagnosis yet). Of course, just like with all kids, there's going to be a range of IQ levels (the #s I've read are usually between 50 and 70) in kids w/ Ds. I know I've read that their IQ is more related to their genetics than to their Ds, though--I hope our little guy takes after his engineer dad, for sure! LOL!

I think words like "spectrum" or "levels" are not applied to DS because DS covers so many aspects of a person.
Autism is a socialization disorder, so the term spectrum as applied to Autism applies to the one aspect - socialization (even though with autism there are a variety of sub-components to that).
With DS, cognition is just one aspect. There are 300 to 500 extra genes in every cell of a person with DS, and there is impact across a variety of systems (potentially heart, potentially intestinal, cognition, muscle tone, potentially thyroid, motor planning, etc.). The "mix" of the number of systems impacted and the degree of each (small heart defect healing on its own o tetrology of fallot?) is a different variation for every person.
That's why words like "levels" are not really applicable to Down syndrome, which is simply an amount of extra genetic material.
I know to some extent it sound like simply semantics and I guess it is. What we know is that individuals with nondisjunction Down syndrome have an extra chromosome in every cell of their bodies. That is black & white, no levels, degrees, etc.
But then there is the variety among the population. People with DS vary greatly in the issues they face, their strengths and challenges. But there is no chart with a line going up and people with DS being placed upon it, and no specific age when you can classify a person based on that chart. How would you place someone on such a linear chart, with the variety of systems?
Even when it comes to cognition, traditional IQ testing is not suited to people with DS. With Gabby, the answers she gives you on any given day do not necessarily sum up or reflect her knowledge, for a variety of reasons. Teachers who spend time with her eventually see that, and they wind up apologizing for test results, saying, "I know she knows more than is shown here, but you know Gabby - she won't necessarily tell us everything she knows at any given moment."
I have known Gabby for almost six years, and I can't hazard a guess how she compares "in total" to other people with DS. There are just too many differences among them all to compare.

I have a question about what mommamelly5 said about children with Ds's IQs being related to their genetics. I selfishly really want to believe this. Not trying to sound snotty I swear, but I was a nerd in school and a math major in college (funny how that doesn't really matter to my life at all anymore...ahhh the things that were once so important yet mean nothing), In the beginning I remember hoping that this would help somehow. However, we aked the genetic couselor if it would help that my husband and I are "smart," and she said "no." She said it doesn't matter at all how smart we are. But the fact that we are "smart" (I use the word losely ) would help in that we would learn everything we could to help our child and advocate for him.
So what is the truth? I also read somewhere that the parent's intelligence has some affect. However, it makes sense to me that the way the extra chromosome can affect the brain and signals and things like that would negate any genetic intelligence stuff. Like it's not the raw intelligence that is an issue, but the child's ability to process information and express their knowledge. Am I making any sense!??? Does anyone know the answer or is it one of the great mysteries of DS?

Better educated parents lead to children with higher IQ's - in any situation, Down Syndrome or not. I think in the end it means that the child will be able to reach their potential more than children of parents who are not as educated. Educated(I hate using the term smart because smart and educated are not necessarily the same) parents know what to do for their children, spend more quality time teaching/learning with their child and is, in general, more involved in their children's lives when it comes to education. SO and I are both college graduates, so yes I would say we are smart (educated), so we take a more active role in Seth's education and we have more resources to help him.
I've also read that parents who are educated have more books in their home and value reading and other activities rather than television and other things that aren't necessarily educational. I shouldn't talk because SO and I are huge gamers but we keep that to when Seth goes to bed. It is also the interaction between parent and child. Research has shown that educated parents speak more and have better quality conversations with their children.
So while the IQ might not be transferred, children always benefit from educated parents.
ETA: I sincerely hope this makes sense at 12:30 am. hehe. BTW can you tell I'm in the education field? I'm really an advocate for education in any way, shape and form. It just betters us as people, as parents, as a society in whole. Ok I'm getting off my soapbox now.
Seth 12/16/07 T21
It is also understanding that "smart/educated" people have a higher tendency to parent children with DS who will score somewhat higher on typical IQ tests etc. However, I want to caution that, like Nancy says, IQ tests are NOT good indicators of the sum total of knowledge that our children possess. IQ tests are standardized, and they require a standardized response time, a presumption that the subject has heard or seen and processed the request etc. That is just not our kids. Just like you and I are not the sum total of our own IQ (and mine is very high), it's what you do with that, how you are taught and encouraged by parents, teachers and mentors to process information and use it in appropriate contexts etc that is important. Children with Aspergers and a very high standardized IQ may function much less successfully in real-life situations than a child with DS who may not be able to skip count by 4s. Social knowledge is a gift that most kids with DS have naturally - empathy, respect for others, persistence etc...
The genetic counselor who claims that the cognitive function of a child with DS does not bear any relevance at all to his parents' IQ or education level is just sadly mistaken. The problem is that we can't GET an adequate "reading" of IQ on our kids because the kinds of tests that are available now don't meet their needs. So, do almost all kids with DS test in the 50s-80s range for typical IQ? Yes, but that doesn't mean a thing. They shouldn't be subjected to those tests at all because they tell us nothing about how that child learns. (BTW, you can actually decline IQ testing - there are plenty of other observation and assessment tools out there). The problem of congition in the DS population is complex - a piece of information my child "knows" one minute is "unknown" the next -- you can sometimes tell by the way she looks to one side that she's searching in her brain for that word she wants to tell me, and something else comes out instead. She has the word, the meaning, the usage, but she can't apply it all the time.
As someone else has already said, environmental issues play a huge role in a child's development - any child's. My daughter loves books because she's been read to almost every day of her life. She is excited and motivated to write words and paint pictures because she gets that they are a necessary way of communicating and getting her own ideas out there. Raised in family with little education, few books, little access to the arts and a lackluster approach to school, I'm sure she'd be a very different person.

Film: "Ajab Gazabb Love"; Music Director: Sajid-Wajid; Lyricists: Kausar Munir, Sukhjit Thandi and Priya Panchal; Singers: Mika Singh, Mohit Chauhan, Mohammed Irfan, Antara Mitra and Dalvinder Singh; Rating: ***
Jackky Bhagnani's last film gave the chart-topping "Party abhi baaki hai", and one hopes his new movie, "Ajab Gazabb Love", will recreate the same magic with its tunes. The soundtrack, composed by Sajid-Wajid, has four original tracks and two remixes. They have got ample support from Kausar Munir, Sukhjit Thandi and Priya Panchal, who have penned the lyrics for the album.
The soundtrack kicks off with a bang as Mika Singh's rocking voice comes your way in "Boom boom (lip lock)", a peppy number full of catchy beats. In terms of music, it is not the finest melody from Sajid-Wajid's storehouse, yet it manages to engage due to the cheeky lyrics by Priya Panchal and some good techno beats. Again, Mika's energetic voice just forces the listener to get on the floor and shake a leg on this track.
It also has a remixed version, which has a bit more beats thrown in here and there, but there's nothing to bowl you over. It's better to stick with the original, though one can sample the remixed version too.
Slowing down the tempo, "Tu" hits the right romantic note with Mohit Chauhan's soulful vocals. There is a good play of varied musical instruments while not downplaying the singer's voice in any way. The lyrics are quite smooth and Kausar Munir has done a good job by bringing out a dreamy essence.
The sound of piano emerges loud and clear in "Sun soniye", a romantic duet crooned by Mohammed Irfan and Antara Mitra. Their voices blend quite well and elevate the listener's spirit. The use of violin in various intervals is commendable and so are the mesmerising lyrics, penned by Kausar Munir.
There is also a remixed version of this track, but one fails to understand the necessity of turning a blissful soft track into a club number. The composers have done a decent job by transforming it into a racy song with beats, but it fails to move you.
Rounding up the album is "Nachde Punjabi", an out and out Bhangra track, sung by Dalvinder Singh. There is a good fusion of traditional dhol beats with modern sounds and some authentic Punjabi lyrics by Sukhjit Thandi.
Overall, the soundtrack of "Ajab Gazabb Love" is satisfactory. But it could have upped its ante had there been one or two more songs. Nonetheless, it has good energy to keep you rolling.

Life, Began In US:
Barack Obama's Mercer Island mother gave birth in the United States, a federal judge has ruled. The result was dismissal of a lawsuit brought by a Hillary Clinton supporter prior to the Democratic National Convention alleging that Obama was a citizen of Indonesia, not Hawaii, thus making him ineligible to serve as President of the United States. The judge determined that the allegations in the complaint were too vague. He said nothing about John McCain being born in Panama.
Death, Thwarted In Tenn.:
Federal agents have broken up a plot by two neo-Nazi skinheads to assassinate Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama and shoot or decapitate 102 black people, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco Firearms and Explosives said Monday. In court records unsealed in U.S. District Court in Jackson, Tenn., the AP reports, federal agents revealed the disruption of a plot to rob a gun store and target a predominantly African-American high school in a murder spree that was to begin in Tennessee, a Red state favoring John McCain.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Through no fault of its own, Lenovo (LNVGY) is still far from being a household name in the U.S. despite having established a strong international presence on the strength of historically solid execution.While Lenovo falls short in sex appeal compared to Apple (AAPL) and Google (GOOG), this company is second to none in terms of efficiency and maximizing capital deployments.
Despite Lenovo's reputation for strong performance, not much was expected heading into this quarter. Not only did IDC recently report a 14% drop in global PC shipments given the fact that HP and Dell reported revenue declines of 10% and 2% respectively, but the market was expecting unassuming results from Lenovo. But Lenovo had other ideas. The company earned $126.9 million in net income. Not only did this beat Street estimates of $110 million but the 90% year-over-year profit surge (up from $66.8 million) was the fastest performance for Lenovo over the past seven quarters. This made me question how the Street could cheer HP's 31% decline in GAAP earnings per share. On the revenue front. Lenovo's 4% growth really stood out. I will admit that this was not up to the company's usual standards (up 12% last quarter). But Michael Dell and Meg Whitman would have done cartwheels if Dell and HP could yield half of that performance. Besides, the revenue results were still enough to help Lenovo acquire an additional 3% in global PC market share.

It's far too late to hand out specific recommendations for New Year's Eve bubbly. At this point, most people have one or two pit stops to the store scheduled and no time to special order a specific bottle or six.
So study the labels above. They are four of the best and cheapest buys floating around area stores right now, and by "best" I mean that they taste like wine and not like the leavings of a chemical accident. If you purchase them by the case, they should be 10% cheaper, a deal that should be offered at any decent retailer in town.
Presto Prosecco ($9) - I drank this all summer. I'm still indignant that the majority of Prosecco bottles now hover around $16 more than they do $10. Presto has the slight creaminess and light, fruity quality associated with Prosecco, which should always be kinder and gentler than it's Spanish counterpart, cava. (spotted it at Whole Foods, Pete's)
Zonin Prosecco ($7) - This brand used to be widely available, and the label is different than I remember, so maybe it's from an Uncle Zonin of the Zonin family. Who cares, it'll tickle your nose, make a nice cocktail; and, though it's a little less outstanding than the Presto, has that same Sunday morning drinkability. (Trader Joe's exclusive)
Louis Perdrier Rose ($8) - Get the pink version if you see it, but the regular brut is perfectly lovely. It's French, has an aggressive bubble and tastes like at least $12. (spotted at Esquin, QFC North Broadway)
Segura Viudas "Aria" Cava ($10) - They also have a slightly cheaper cava available for around $8; the label is cream and very plain with "Segura Viudas" in gold script and a rose with a pink label that runs about a buck more. This has been one of the more readily available, better deals in sparkling wine for years.

Comments On Mar 20, 2013:put this two piece roof on my ranger. product looks good and stands up to the occasional abuse of being rubbed against a tree. It was more than i expected to mount though, was wore out fighting it. I also needed to apply some silicone to the seem to prevent water from seeping into the cab when riding in the rain.

My baby's head is bigger than average. His doctor told me they could do an MRI just for my peace of mind. She said she wouldn't worry about it. But I'm worried. Should I do the MRI to my 10-month baby? I was reading that they have to put them under so they won't move and now I'm even more scared.
What should I do?
Please help!
