Late 16th century (denoting a set of plans of a building): from French modelle, from Italian modello, from an alteration of Latin modulus (see modulus).
mould from Middle English:
The root of mould 'a hollow container used to give shape to hot material when it cools' is Latin modulus, source of model (late 16th century) and module (late 16th century). The mould that is a furry growth of fungi is unconnected, and came from a Scandinavian word into late Middle English. The origins of the expression to break the mould, 'to change to a markedly different way of doing things', comes from the manufacture of objects cast in moulds. Destroying a mould afterwards ensured that no further copies could be made. The phrase dates from the 1560s and probably comes from a translation of the Italian epic poem Orlando Furioso, written by Ludovico Ariosto in 1532: 'Nature made him and then broke the mould.' Mould in the sense 'earth' as in leaf mould is a Germanic word found in Old English ( see mole).

About the Book
The Sister Wife is the first book in a new Brides of Gabriel historical series set during the formation of the Mormon edict of polygamy. Award-winning author Diane Noble explores the inner conflicts, emotions, and decisions of three women married to the same man. A moving tale of faith and doubt, love and commitment for fans of Big Love or those who devoured Carolyn Jessop's Escape, The Sister Wife follows a budding family living in close community with the controversial Mormon prophet Joseph Smith as they are pulled deeper into the world of polygamy.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
What if the man you loved told you God wanted him to take another wife? What if that woman was your best friend?
Set in the heart of the earliest days of a new nineteenth-century sect known as the Saints, The Sister Wife is a riveting account of two women forced into a practice they don't understand, bound by their devotion to Prophet Joseph Smith. When Mary Rose marries Gabriel, neither of them could foresee how quickly the community would turn to the practice of plural marriage. Devastated when Gabe is faced with an order from the Prophet to marry her best friend, Bronwyn, Mary Rose tries to have the faith to carry through with the marriage. But can she really be married to the same man as her very best friend? Can Mary Rose and Bronwyn face betraying both their husband and their God to do what they feel is right?

Critical Praise
"Diane Noble not only explores the early days of the Mormon church; she also probes deeply into the human heart... the pages turn faster and faster…right up to the breathless conclusion and the promise of more drama to come." — Liz Curtis Higgs, best-selling author of Thorn in My Heart
"Diane Noble is at her best in The Sister Wife. I found myself transported by the richness of her words, the authenticity of her research and the depth of her spirit. Well done!" — Jane Kirkpatrick, award-winning author of An Absence So Great
"The first book in the Brides of Gabriel series introduces us to the foundation of polygamy in Mormonism. A well-researched, gripping story written with depth of emotion, it tactfully illustrates different belief systems and explores plural marriage without sensationalizing it." — Romantic Times BOOKclub
Praise for The Veil: "Prepare to burn the midnight oil. I couldn't put this book down. The Veil revealed a shocking early Mormon practice." — Francine Rivers, New York Times bestselling author
"The Sister Wife is the first in Noble's Brides of Gabriel series, which, given the popularity of Big Love—the HBO television drama about a fundamentalist Mormon family in Utah—should be a big hit with readers." — Booklist

John Butler, age 77, born in NC was listed in the 1860 Wood Co. TX mortality census. My 5th great-grandfather was a John Butler, born in 1782 in Sampson Co. NC. He moved with his wife & children to Dooly Co., GA where I last found him in the 1850 census. I found three of "my" John Butler's sons in Wood Co. on the 1860 census, Adam, Robert, and Phillip R. so I am pretty sure of the connection. I would like to know where John is buried and if his wife Lucy is buried there also. I did not find a listing for her in the 1860 census.
Thanks again for the help.

About the Book
A masterful gothic chiller, Immortal with a Kiss is a paranormal historical adventure that fans of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Jane Austen alike are certain to cherish. In a starred review, Booklist called Descent into Dust, Jacqueline Lepore's first novel to feature Victorian vampire slayer Emma Andrews, "Deliciously macabre"—and in Immortal with a Kiss Emma travels to a girls' school plagued by the undead to fulfill her great and terrible destiny as an avenger…and, perhaps, confront her sworn nemesis: the elusive monster Dracula.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
Born by blood to be Dhampir—a vampire hunter—Emma Andrews nearly lost her life and everyone she loves at Dulwich Manor. Now something evil is preying on students at a northern Lake District girls' school—the same school Emma's mother attended years ago. Drawn as much by the desire to learn more about her family's secrets as the possibility of vampires, Emma finds the schoolgirls in the grip of a terrible legacy—the ageless evil of the Cyprian Queen, a dark goddess of ancient legend. Now Emma must tread a careful path—along with her old friends Sebastian, Father Luke, and the mysterious and dashing Valerian Fox—deeper into the darkness to face her most paralyzing fears . . . and perhaps come one step closer to the Dracula himself.

Mission: Can I Get Kelly Ripa's Body?
One writer's journey to find strength (and a thinner waistline?) through the celebrity-worshiped fitness workout, Physique 57
Seriously though -- do I want arms like Ripa's that don't flap in the wind? Yes.
Should my ass be less obtrusive? Probably.
Would it be nice to sit and not have a jellyroll slowly unfold over my jeans? Ab-solutely.
But above all, as a twenty-something woman, do I need to stop considering the walk, I repeat w-a-l-k, up the three flights of stairs to the office my fitness routine for the day? That, my friends, would be an affirmative.
I came to these revelations after a recent visit to the doc. I was sitting in the waiting room and spread across the coffee table were a bunch of "Fitness" and "Shape" magazines with bikini-clad celebs glaring their shiny teeth and flat bellies at me.
There she was -- little-but-larger-than-life Ripa posing in a neon orange two-piece. I picked up the mag and as I thumbed through the pages, reading about her adventures in motherhood, how she never exercised in her twenties, and her "new" love of Physique 57, a trendy workout my friend Tricia was just raving about as I shoveled in a cheesy omelet at brunch, I had a thought.
Do these high faultin' celebrity workouts splashed across glossy magazines actually work for real people? Could I, the former chubbiest girl in the 5th grade whose thighs have never not touched, get the toned body of a celebrity? Could this fitness fad really be as life changing for me as it was for Miss Ripa?
I was determined to find out, to make a change. I was determined to try this Physique 57.

Great job! Getting started is the hardest part and as long as you continue, it'll be easy to keep those good habits. Now I am inclined to look into the Physique 57 classes. There is not gym where I live that offers it, but perhaps I can find a DVD where I can try it at home. Nice work!

All things, including water, can be measured in density. Density is how much stuff is packed into the same amount of space. So a cup of water compared with a cup of honey — which is more dense? It's the gloopy, thick honey.
Solid things, including your bones, can be measured in density. Nice, solid bones will be strong, less likely to break, and have high bone density. If you get enough calcium when you're young, your bones are more likely to be dense and strong for your whole life. So drink milk and eat other calcium-rich foods!
But back to our density rainbow: Plain water is less dense than water mixed with other stuff, such as dissolved candy (sugar). In this experiment, you'll dissolve small and large amounts of candy into water. Then you can carefully layer the different-colored waters in a glass.
The water that contains only two dissolved candies will float on top of the water mixtures that contain four, six, eight, and 10 dissolved candies. Why? The water mixtures that are less dense (fewer candies) will float on top of the layers that are more dense (more candies).

I am volunteering to help out w/ a youth disc golf clinic this Sat. 6/12 for "envirokids". Middle Park course, Lowry Field next to hole 7.
Turns out there are about 30 registered--too much for one person!
If anyone can help out from 8:30-noon, or at least part of that time, that would be awesome. I could use a couple more portable baskets and maybe some extra discs. Looks like kids from 5-12 years old. Great way to teach them etiquette, taking care of courses, and of course SKILLS.
Send me a pm or call me at Bett. Parks&Rec if you can help out!

- Binding: Hardcover
- Era: Crimean War
- Number of Pages: 288
- Subject: Crimean War
- Date Available: November 2007
William Howard Russell's uncompromising dispatches from the Crimea to the London Times, collected in this book, revolutionized war reporting and the public's perception of war. Never before had Britons on the home front been exposed to the grim realities of remote battlefields, and they were shocked and outraged by what they read. Russell's images of the plight of the soldiers and his criticism of medical facilities led the government to vastly improve soldiers' living standards and Florence Nightingale to improve sanitation for the wounded. Even now, more than 150 years after his reporting from the Crimea, readers will find Russell's graphic descriptions to be extraordinarily modern.
Among the dispatches reproduced for the book are Russell's eyewitness accounts of the battles of the Alma, Inkerman, Balaklava, and the Tchernaya, and the carnage at the Malakoff and the Redan. His description of the brave fiasco that came to be known as the Charge of the Light Brigade inspired Alfred Lord Tennyson to compose his famous poem. Russell's refusal to compromise and his meticulous attention to detail set a standard that remains today.
William Howard Russell was born in Dublin, Ireland and died in 1907. After covering the Crimean War, he reported on the American Civil War and Indian mutiny. After retiring, he founded the Army and Navy Gazette.

Start planning now for summer
|Now is the time to make reservations for summer stays at many national parks, inlcuding among the peaks of the Sierra Nevada in California's Kings Canyon National Park. (Ron Cobb/St. Louis Post-Dispatch/MCT)
Oh, sure, there is still some room for spontaneity. But more and more, the most popular campgrounds and trailheads are booked months in advance.
So if you have any desire to roast marshmallows this summer under Half Dome's shadow or hike to the summit of Mount Whitney, now's the time to get your ducks in a row.
Here are some things you can do now (or soon) to make summer all the more memorable:
A hiker rests and soaks in the summit of Mount Whitney. Hiking to the summit is no easy task and takes a bit of planning, including getting a permit through a lottery system. Applications for the lottery can be done online from Feb. 1 to March 15.
Campsites in Yosemite National Park are notoriously hard to get. In fact, they typically sell out in minutes — or even seconds — after they're made available online.
Seven of Yosemite's 13 campgrounds are on a reservation system operated through the National Recreation Reservation System at recreation.gov. These sites become available in one-month blocks five months in advance on the 15th of the month at 7 a.m.
What does that mean for this summer? It means that on Feb. 15, reservations can be made from June 15 to July 14. And so on.
Phone reservations can also be made at 877-444-6677, but using the Internet is faster since you don't risk having to wait for an operator while all the lines are busy. To save precious seconds on the 15th, log on before 7 a.m. and fill out a recreation.gov profile.
Between April and September, reservations are pretty much essential for all Yosemite campgrounds. The park also operates seven first-come, first-served campgrounds — six of them are outside the Valley — but even these typically fill up by noon during the busiest months.
Wilderness permits, required for all overnight stays in the backcountry, are available up to 24 weeks in advance. And, yes, the most popular trailheads fill up quickly.
Yosemite's hotels, lodges and tent cabins are operated through DNC Parks and Resorts. Go to yosemitepark.com or call (801) 559-4884 for details.
Last week, park officials set permanent hiking limits for Half Dome. Applications will be accepted March 1 to 31 on recreation.gov for the preseason lottery in mid-April. A secondary lottery also will be held during the hiking season for any cancelled or leftover permits.
Sequoia and Kings Canyon
Campsites in Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks aren't as impacted as those in Yosemite. But the busiest, including Lodgepole and Dorst Creek, are available six months in advance of the day you wish to camp at recreation.gov or (877) 444-6777. So that means you can make reservations today for all dates through July 10.
Other campgrounds, including those in Grant Grove and Cedar Grove, are first-come, first-served. (Campgrounds in Cedar Grove seldom fill up, even during busy summer weekends.)
Wilderness permits for the 2013 quota period (May 24 to Sept. 24) become available March 1.
Now's also the time to make reservations for the Bearpaw High Sierra Camp, an 11.5-mile hike from Crescent Meadow along the High Sierra Trail. Go to visitsequoia.com or call (866) 807-3598 for details.
National forests
Campgrounds in the Sierra National Forest and Sequoia National Forest/Giant Sequoia National Monument can be reserved up to six months in advance of your arrival date at recreation.gov or 877-444-6777.
This means now's the time to reserve a campsite for your early July trip to Huntington Lake, Bass Lake, Mono Hot Springs or Stony Creek.
Sequoia National Forest also has two historic cabins and a fire lookout that are sometimes available for rental. Details: fs.usda.gov/sequoia.
State parks
California's most popular beach campgrounds, including those near Santa Cruz and Pismo Beach, are in high demand and often sell out minutes after they become available.
Reservations are available up to seven months in advance at 8 a.m.. on the first of each month at reserveamerica.com. So that means campsites can already be reserved for July. For August, they come available Feb. 1.
Telephone reservations are also accepted at 800-444-7275. Details: parks.ca.gov.
Mount Whitney
Hiking to the summit of the highest peak in the lower 48 between May 1 and Nov. 1 requires a permit. Yes, this even applies to day hikers willing and able to make the 21-mile round trip from Whitney Portal.
Due to high demand, the Inyo National Forest has implemented a lottery system through recreation.gov. Applications will be accepted Feb. 1 to March 15, and you can request multiple dates. (They weren't on the site until Friday.) On April 1, any remaining space will be open to online reservations.
The first weekend of August is typically the most requested date. To have a better chance of getting a permit, pick a midweek day in July or September. Details: fs.usda.gov/inyo or 760-876-6222.

Health & Baby
Many Babies Healthier in Homes With Dogs
July 9, 2012 -- Babies in homes with dogs have fewer colds, fewer ear infections, and need fewer antibiotics in their first year of life than babies raised in pet-free homes, Finnish researchers find.
Homes with cats are healthier for babies, too, but not to the same extent as those with dogs, note researchers Eija Bergroth, MD, of Finland's Kuopio University Hospital, and colleagues.
"The strongest effect was seen with dog contacts. We do not know why it was stronger than with cat contacts," Bergroth tells WebMD. "It might have something to do with dirt brought inside by the dogs, especially since the strongest protective effect was seen with children living in houses where dogs spent a lot of time outside."
Earlier studies have found that children raised on farms get asthma much less often than other kids. And some studies have found that kids in homes with dogs have fewer colds than other kids.
To take a closer look at the situation, Bergroth's team followed 397 Finnish children from their third trimester of pregnancy through their first 12 months of life. Parents filled out weekly diaries with detailed information on their child's health and on their child's contact with dogs and cats.
They found that compared to kids in pet-free homes, kids in homes with dogs:
- Had fewer respiratory tract symptoms or infections
- Had ear infections less often
- Needed fewer courses of antibiotics
Why Might Dogs Make a Difference?
It's not clear why living with a dog makes such a difference.
"It might have something to do with the dog itself as an animal," Bergroth suggests. "The living environment can also affect this. These children lived in rural or suburban areas, so inner-city kids -- and dogs -- might get different results."
A time-honored theory, the hygiene hypothesis, suggests that children's immune systems mature best when infants are exposed to germs in just the right amount. Too many germs are unhealthy, but so is a sterile, germ-free home.
That theory is now giving way to the "microbiome hypothesis," says Karen DeMuth, MD, MPH, assistant professor of pediatrics at Atlanta's Emory University.

Plant to Convert Gas to Liquid Fuel Planned in U.S.
From New York Times
By Clifford Krauss
In an ambitious bet that the glut of cheap natural gas in the United States will last for many years, a South African energy company announced on Monday that it would build America's first commercial plant to convert natural gas to diesel and other liquid fuels.
The company, Sasol, which is based in Johannesburg, has been a pioneer in a technology that has tantalized energy scientists for decades over its potential to produce liquid fuels without using oil, which has historically cost far more than natural gas.
Having already built smaller plants in South Africa and Qatar, Sasol has designed its new Louisiana plant to produce 96,000 barrels of fuel a day using its "gas to liquids," or G.T.L., technology. It will be the second-largest plant of its kind in the world, after Royal Dutch Shell's Pearl plant in Qatar, and will cost $11 billion to $14 billion to build.
"By incorporating G.T.L. technology in the USA's energy mix," David Constable, Sasol's chief executive, said in a statement, "states such as Louisiana will be able to advance the country's energy independence through a diversification of supply."
The facility will include a gas processing plant, a chemical plant and a refinery. All are required to perform the alchemy of converting natural gas into diesel, jet fuel and other chemical products.
What makes this southwestern corner of Louisiana attractive to Sasol is its proximity to bountiful shale gas fields just north of here and west in Texas. A boom in shale drilling has reduced the price of natural gas in the United States in the last four years by more than two-thirds, encouraging many energy and chemical companies to build and expand manufacturing plants around the Gulf of Mexico to produce a variety of petrochemicals.
Sasol estimated that the plant would create at least 1,200 permanent jobs and 7,000 construction jobs. Production is scheduled to begin in 2018. The state encouraged the project with more than $2 billion worth of tax credits and other incentives.
The company said it would put off previously announced plans to build a separate gas-to-liquids plant in Canada, giving priority to the Louisiana effort. The track record for the technology, conceived by German scientists in the 1920s, is not encouraging, mainly because of a history of construction cost overruns.
Shell's new Pearl plant in Qatar, built with Qatar Petroleum for $19 billion, was over budget by a factor of three and has had stubborn maintenance concerns. Many other oil companies have looked at the process and declined to make the huge investments necessary.
Only a handful of gas-to-liquid plants operate commercially in Malaysia, South Africa and Qatar, and they collectively produce a bit more than 200,000 barrels of fuels and lubricants a day — the equivalent of less than 1 percent of global diesel demand.
Nevertheless, Shell is considering building its own G.T.L. plant on the Gulf Coast. Sasol and the Malaysian oil company Petronas are building a plant in Uzbekistan, and Sasol is joining Chevron to build one in Nigeria. Rosneft is planning a pilot project in Russia.
Profits have been elusive for the technology. To make it work, natural gas prices must remain low and prices for oil, diesel and jet fuel must remain high for a prolonged period.
Natural gas and diesel prices have historically been very unpredictable, and if enough companies build gas-to-liquids plants or find other uses for natural gas, demand would rise, putting upward pressure on prices.
In the United States, various companies have plans to build natural gas export terminals and promote more use of compressed natural gas for vehicles, as is done in many countries like Pakistan, Iran and Argentina.
"If you didn't have cost overruns, and if you didn't have maintenance unscheduled downtime, if everything worked perfectly, then G.T.L. plants look pretty good on paper," said Don Hertzmark, an international energy consultant who has worked on gas-to-liquids and other natural gas projects for 30 years. "These plants are only economic with very low gas prices."

Identity theft is not solely a high tech crime committed on the Internet. It can be as simple as someone stealing your mail or discarded credit card receipt.
Army First Sgt. Finn Carlton knows the horrors of ID theft. A suspect took him for more than $20,000, opening up a line of credit and even obtaining a driver's license.
Carlton is trying to reassemble his life. He immediately called the police, all three major credit bureaus, and the Federal Trade Commission.
The FBI compiles names of victims like Carlton and tries to determine common threads among criminals committing these crimes.
Experts say consumers must protect their vital information at all times and use common sense when dealing with any important bank statements or receipts.

How Does My Doctor Know I Have Ewing Sarcoma?
You should report any symptoms that might be caused by Ewing sarcoma to your doctor. Symptoms may be caused by cancer or by other, less serious problems. To find out what is causing your symptoms, your doctor will ask you about these things.
Your health history
Your family's history of cancer
Your lump, if you have one
Your pain, if you have any
Any other symptoms you are having
Your doctor will also perform a careful physical exam. If you have a lump, the doctor will look at its size and shape, and the effect it has had on surrounding areas. The doctor may also schedule one or more of these tests:
X-rays. This is often the first test done if your doctor suspects a bone tumor. Doctors can identify most Ewing tumors with an X-ray. An X-ray uses very low doses of radioactive rays to see through your skin. It imprints an image of the inside of your body onto a piece of film. Sometimes doctors skip the X-rays and go right to other tests such as a computed tomography scan (CT scan) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan.
Computed tomography scan (CT scan). A CT scan can help your doctor identify more clearly a Ewing tumor. A CT scanner takes X-rays of your body from different angles as you slide through it on a table. A computer combines these pictures to produce a more detailed picture of the inside of your body.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). An MRI can more clearly define abnormalities to see if they are really due to a Ewing tumor. During an MRI, large magnets and radio waves produce detailed pictures of the inside of your body. The energy from the radio waves creates patterns formed by different types of tissue and diseases. This produces cross-sectional pictures that look like slices of your body. Your doctor may order an MRI of a certain area of bone if you are having a lot of pain at a certain spot. These pictures will also help him or her see what part of a lump to take out in a biopsy.
For this test, you lie still on a table as it passes through a tube-like scanner. The scanner directs a continuous beam of radio waves at the area being examined. A computer uses data from the radio waves to create pictures of the inside of your body. You may need more than one set of images.
Bone scan. For this test, a nurse or technician injects you with radioactive dye. Then he or she takes pictures of your bones with a special camera about two hours later. The picture shows areas of bone where the radiation is concentrated, which can mean that there is an abnormality. It does not necessarily mean there is a tumor. Other things, such as arthritis or bone fractures, can also make a bone scan abnormal. Your doctor may also use this test to find out if a bone tumor has spread to other bones or if a soft tissue tumor has spread to bone.
Positron emission tomography (PET) scan. This test is similar to a bone scan, but a slightly radioactive sugar is injected into the blood. Tumors use more of this sugar than normal cells, so the radiation collects in tumors, where it can be seen with a special camera. PET scans can help determine the spread of Ewing tumors, find out if abnormal areas seen on a bone scan or CT scan are tumors, and help follow the response of the tumor to treatment.
These tests can help show where the tumor is and whether it has spread. They may give enough information for a doctor to tell the cause of the problem, or you may need further testing.
When You May Need More Tests
In nearly all cases, the doctor will remove a sample of tissue from your tumor to confirm the diagnosis. This is called a biopsy. A doctor who specializes in identifying disease, called a pathologist, will look at the sample under a microscope to check for cancer.
Your doctor may send you to a surgeon or another doctor for a biopsy. Although a physical exam and the pictures of the growth may suggest that a tumor is cancerous, a biopsy is the only way to be certain. The biopsy tells the doctor what, if any, type of tumor you have. Your doctor might perform one of these types of biopsy. If there is a chance that a tumor is a Ewing tumor, it is very important that the biopsy be done by a doctor with experience in treating this disease.
Excisional biopsy. If your tumor is small, a surgeon can cut through your skin and take out the whole tumor. You will be given anesthesia so that you are asleep during the biopsy.
Incisional biopsy. If your tumor is large, the surgeon removes only a small part of the tumor. If the tumor is close to your skin's surface, the surgeon may numb the area. If the tumor is deep inside your body, you will be given anesthesia to put you to sleep.
Needle biopsy. The doctor inserts a thin, hollow needle through your skin to remove tiny bits of tissue from the tumor. This type of biopsy does not require surgery, and you are awake during this test. The doctor may use a CT scan to guide the needle. Sometimes, this test does not remove enough tissue to know whether the lump is a sarcoma, but it can tell whether it is something else, such as an infection.
Bone marrow biopsy. This test is not usually done to diagnose Ewing tumors, but it may be done once the diagnosis is made to help determine if the cancer has spread to the bone marrow. For this test, hollow needles are used to remove samples of bone marrow, usually from the back of the hip bones. Teens and adults may be awake when this is done (with the area numbed), but children are usually sedated or asleep for this procedure.

Gun Owners Not Irrational
Published: Thursday, February 14, 2013 at 12:09 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, February 14, 2013 at 12:09 a.m.
I take exception to Andy Crossfield's characterization of gun owners as irrational ["County Commission's Failure on Background Checks for Guns Wrong," letter, Feb. 10]. While I do agree that the current craze of buying weapons and ammo is impulsive and self-defeating, it is not at all irrational.
In deference to our duly elected government which is duty bound to serve the interest of the people, history is replete with evidence of governments turning on their people as they use any excuse to justify tyranny. It is the responsibility of the people to hold them to their duty.
If it can't be done in a civil manner, then justice must be served by the power of the people as stipulated in the U.S. Constitution. No people can hope to defeat a tyrannical power with words alone. The framers of the Constitution knew this firsthand. That is why the original version of the Constitution was amended repeatedly after it was ratified.
We, the people, are the last stand against tyranny. This condition was established by design in accordance with the laws of nature. There is nothing irrational about self-preservation, and there is no greater honor than that attributed to a patriot.

Man charged with DUI after running over man in back yard
Published: Thursday, January 17, 2013 at 9:19 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, January 17, 2013 at 9:19 p.m.
A Pacolet man was arrested on a DUI charge after a man was run over by a car in the backyard of a Memorial Drive home on Tuesday.
Joseph Victor Cole, 50, of 100 Shippy Lane, was charged with felony driving under the influence with great bodily injury and second-degree assault and battery, according to arrest warrants.
An incident report states that deputies and Pacolet police responded to the Memorial Drive home and learned that Cole, who was slurring his words while talking to officers, had backed over the 54-year-old victim. Cole told officers that he didn't run over the victim, that the victim already had a broken leg, the report states.
Before officers responded, Cole pulled a knife on Spartanburg EMS workers assisting the victim, according to the report. EMS workers wrestled Cole to the ground and called for officers, the report states.
Cole remained at the Spartanburg County Detention Facility on Thursday on a $15,000 bond.

MORAGA -- A mother demanding the Boy Scouts allow her gay son to become an Eagle Scout wrote up an online petition in support of her goal that has received about 70,000 signatures.
Karen Andresen is pushing the organization to let her son Ryan, a senior at Maybeck High School in Berkeley, apply for scouting's highest rank. Ryan, who turns 18 next week, recently came out to his friends and family as gay, she says in her petition on Change.org.
In the petition, Karen Andresen writes that Ryan was denied his Eagle Scout standing by Troop 212 despite fulfilling the necessary requirements. Her son's story is gaining national attention; Karen and Eric Andresen said Thursday that their story will be aired nationally. They declined further comment.
"It hurts me so much to watch Ryan suffer for being who he is, because to me, he's perfect," Karen Andresen writes in the petition. "Ryan has worked for nearly 12 years to become an Eagle Scout, and nothing would make him more proud than earning that well-deserved distinction. I hope that if enough people come together, we can convince my son's troop leaders to help him feel proud of who he is and all he's accomplished."
Ryan has been a Scout since age 6, according to the petition. His mother said his approved final project for earning his Eagle Scout designation was a "Tolerance Wall" he built to oppose bullying in school by using tiles illustrated by elementary school students. He built the 288-tile wall at Joaquin Moraga Middle School, his parents said.
But according to a statement from John Fenoglio, Scout executive of the Mt. Diablo Silverado Council, which oversees Troop 212, Ryan's admission falls short of Scouting's standards.
"Recently, a Scout proactively notified his unit leadership and Eagle Scout counselor that he does not agree to Scouting's principle of 'Duty to God,' and does not meet Scouting's membership standard on sexual orientation," the statement read. "While the Boy Scouts of America did not proactively ask for this information, based on his statements and after discussion with his family, he is being informed that he is no longer eligible for membership in Scouting."
Signatures from as far away as the United Kingdom are among the 70,000, including many from former Scouts and siblings of Scouts.

The Texas A&M – Corpus Christi women's basketball team will look to get back to .500, as it plays its fourth game of the year in the Dugan Wellness Center in a matchup with Southeastern Louisiana on Thursday.
• It has been a difficult start to conference play, as the Islanders have dropped five out of their first six meetings. However, only one of those six teams was not picked in the Southland preseason polls to finish in the top six.
• The magic numbers for the team this season have been 40 and 70. The Islanders are 5-0 when shooting 40 percent or better and 4-0 when scoring at least 70 points. On the flipside, when their opponents shoot better than 40 percent, the Islanders are 3-8 and are 1-3 when giving up 70 or more.
• As a team, A&M – Corpus Christi is second in the Southland in three-point percentage, shooting 34 percent from behind the arc. Brittany Mbamalu and Jasmine Shaw have recorded a majority of the treys, combining for 95 of the team's 117 made shots from deep. In the last eight games, the duo has accounted for 63 of the team'S 71 threes.
• After averaging 21.5 turnovers in nonconference play, the Islanders have done a better job of holding on to the ball with just 16 turnovers a game in their six Southland games.
• After struggling to find offense last year, senior transfer Jasmine Shaw has become a main offensive threat for the Islanders. Last season, no Islander had more than two 20-point games. Shaw already has five and leads the team with 16.4 points per game.
This will be the 10th all-time meeting between A&M – Corpus Christi and Southeastern. The Lady Lions hold a slight advantage in the series, winning five out of the first nine games.
Last season, Southeastern won both games, as it was the first time the two squads met twice in a season. The Lady Lions won 66-54 in Hammond and 72-68 in Corpus Christi. Prior to that, the teams split the first six meetings in conference play. Every game played in the Southland has been very competitive, as the average points margin of victory has been 6.4, with only the first matchup of season last year being decided by double digits.
However, the one game played in nonconference play couldn't have been more one-sided, as the Islanders beat Southeastern 97-48.
Southeastern has had a much better start to Southland play, going 3-2 in conference games after winning just one of its 12 nonconference matchups. However, the Lady Lions faced some stiff competition prior to getting into conference, facing teams from the SEC, ACC, Conference USA and American. Their lone win came against the University of Moblie (Ala.) in their season opener.
Southeastern has struggled mightily on the road, going just 1-9 in true away games and 0-3 in neutral sites. The Lady Lions' one road win came against a similar opponent to A&M – Corpus Christi, as they faired much better than the Islanders in Lake Charles with an 82-65 win against McNeese. However, Nicholls beat Southeastern by a much larger margin than it beat the Islanders, knocking off the Lady Lions by nearly 30.
The Lady Lions have been hot lately, beating both Incarnate Word and Lamar, while dropping the game in between those to Sam Houston by just one point in OT.
Southeastern gets contributions from several players, as it has four players averaging double figures. The highest of those is Symone Miller, who is averaging 14.2 points a game on a nightly basis. The second-leading scorer is also the leading rebounder, as Nanna Pool comes in pulling down 9.7 boards a game to go along with 12.2 points. First Team Preseason All-Conference player Aja Gibson (11.8) and Elizabeth Styles (10.7) round out the double-digit scorers.
The Texas A&M – Corpus Christi women's basketball team came up just short, as a three off the glass for Nicholls with time winding down led the Colonels to a 67-60 victory in Stopher Gym on Saturday.
Brittany Mbamalu had a huge afternoon for the Islanders, as she tied a school record with seven threes — six in the first half — for a career-high 23 points.
After getting shut down for just two points in the first half, the Islanders' leading scorer Jasmine Shaw finished with double digits, picking up nine points in the second half for 11 total points.
Emani White, who leads the Southland in scoring, hit the fatal blow to the Islanders, as she had six points in the final 38 seconds for a team-high 18 points. Three other Colonels had double-digit games in the form of Jenny Nash (12), KK Babin (10) and Jasmine Scott (10).
The Islanders did a much better job of shutting down their opponents from behind the arc, as they limited Nicholls to just 6-of-22 from downtown. However, A&M – Corpus Christi did not shoot the ball well from deep outside of Mbamalu, as the rest of the team went just 2-of-19 from three-point land.
Heading into their two games in Nashville in November, the Islanders had been outrebounded by 27 total boards. However, A&M – Corpus Christi dominated the rebounding stats in its trip to the Volunteer State, outrebounding both Belmont and Tennessee State by 13. The Islanders then finished off the roadtrip by outrebounding Texas State by 19, while also snatching up 23 offensive rebounds compared to the Bobcats' seven.
The Islanders once again cleaned up everything on the boards when they returned home, snatching up 15 more rebounds than UTSA, and then pulled down 11 more than UTPA.
After getting outrebounded for the first time in five games at Texas Southern, the Islanders won the rebound battle against UTA despite losing the game. They then backed it up with 17 more boards than Huston-Tillotson.
However, as of late, the Islanders have had similar rebounding results as the first games of the season. Through the first six games in Southland Conference play, the rebounding difference has led to several of the Islanders' losses, as they have been outrebounded by an average margin of 6.2 rebounds, dropping them from first to fourth in that category.
Jasmine Shaw, a senior transfer from Marshall, has tallied five games of 20 or more points this season and is averaging 16.4 points a game, which ranks fifth in the Southland. Last season, no Islander had more than two games exceeding 20 points throughout the entire campaign.
In the game against Tennessee State, Shaw struggled from the field, going just 3-of-12 and 1-of-6 from downtown. However, she still made a huge impact on the team, setting a career high in rebounds with 13 — seven offensively — and in assists with nine. She also knocked down seven of her nine free throws to give her 14 points on the night, meaning she came just one assist short of picking up the first triple-double in Islanders' history. For good measure in that game she also hit the game-winning jumper with five seconds left and recorded four steals in the matchup.
She then struggled in her next two games, scoring a total of just seven points, making just three of her 20 attempts from the field, missing all seven of her three-point attempts. However, she bounced back against UTPA with 17 points, going 6-for-9 from the field, including two threes.
Shaw then followed up that performance with an even bigger one, scoring a career-high 28 points against Texas Southern, including seven threes, which tied a school record. Shaw kept rolling heading into the Christmas break, knocking down another five threes and a total of 19 points at UTA. She then added 16 points to go along with five rebounds and five assists against Huston-Tillotson.
In her first two Southland games, Shaw racked up 13 points against the Sugar Bears, followed by 19 points, five rebounds and three assists against Oral Roberts. Then, in her third game in the conference, she exploded for a career-high 29 points, while once again tying the school record with seven threes. She also crashed the boards for 10 rebounds to pick up her second double-double of the season. She then added 19 more against SFA to raise her to the third leading scorer in the conference.
She struggled against McNeese, though, as the Cowgirls held Shaw to just 2-of-6 from the field with no threes and just four points — her second lowest total of the season. Then, despite scoring 11 at Nicholls, she struggled from deep once again, making just one of her seven three-point attempts.
Senior Brandi Huff had a breakthrough performance in the matchup against Tennessee State, setting a career high in rebounds while matching her top scoring outing. The Rockport-Fulton native notched her first career double-double, pulling down 11 boards to go along with a team high 15 points. She then matched her career high in rebounds against UTSA, picking up five on offense and six on defense. Against UTPA, she hit double figures in the scoring column for the third time of the season with 12 points. Then at Texas Southern, Huff had seven points and six rebounds and tied career-highs in blocks (2) and steals (2).
Huff had arguably the biggest game of her tenure with a career-high 21 points to go along with 10 rebounds against Huston-Tillotson for her second double-double of the season. She went 7-of-9 from the field and made all seven of her shots from the charity stripe. Huff also blocked two shots and dished out two assists.
After struggling in the Southland opener, Huff bounced back to score nine points against Oral Roberts. She also set career-highs in the game with three steals and four blocks. Then, against Northwestern State she helped crash the boards with seven rebounds, as well as going a perfect 3-for-3 from the field for six points. She followed that up with nine points against SFA.
Freshman Brittany Mbamalu has made a significant impact on the team, especially with her pinpoint shooting ability from three-point range. With 51 threes this season, she currently ranks seventh in Islanders' history for a single season, and ranks 13th in the nation and first in the Southland with 3.0 triples a game.
In her first two games, she only saw two minutes of action combined. However, she logged 19 minutes of play against Southern Utah, and hit three threes for nine points, earning herself a spot in the starting rotation.
In her first seven games as a starter, Mbmamlu hit double figures in each outing. She now ranks second in the Southland in three pointers made (2.6 per game, 39 total). Mbamalu also shattered a school record with 18 three-point attempts in the game at UTA with the previous high being 13 — which she had tied in the game at Texas Southern.
Her streak of double figure performances was brought to a halt against Huston-Tillotson where she only had nine points. However, this was only in 16 minutes of play after she suffered an injury in the first half of play. She then got back in double figures with 10 points against UCA in her first conference game.
Mbamalu then posted her ninth and 10th games in double digits with four three pointers against the Lady Demons for 12 points before knocking down five from deep for a game-high 15 points at McNeese.
She had the biggest game of her young career against Nicholls with 23 points to go along with seven threes, tying a school record. Amazingly, 20 of those points came in the first half, as well as six of the threes before the Colonels did a better job guarding her in the final 20 minutes of play.
In each of its first three losses, A&M – Corpus Christi came up just short, losing by an average of just five points. In its loss against Fairfield in the championship game of the Emerald Beach Islanders Classic, the Islanders were just one play away from tying the game up. In the matchup with Southern Utah, the Islanders trailed by just four late in the game before the Thunderbirds pushed the lead back to seven before the final horn sounded.
A&M – Corpus Christi saw a four-point lead against UTSA dwindle away over the final 3:22 of regulation before being outscored 6-1 in overtime to fall 55-50. The Islanders were downed by double-digits for the first time this season in a 75-64 defeat by UTA before losing a four-point game to UCA. It was another close loss in the next two matchups, as the Islanders fell to Northwestern State by six and to SFA by seven to keep their average margin of defeat at six at that time.
However, McNeese played a very solid game against the Islanders en route to a 28-point victory, which was the biggest of the season after the first seven losses came by a combined total of 43 points.
It was another tough loss against Nicholls, though, as a heave by the Colonels with 38 seconds left banked off the glass and in to put them up three on the way to a 67-60 win.
During the early signing period, the Islanders received National Letters of Intent from Emmeri Archer (Brooklyn, N.Y./ South Shore HS), Daryon Fields (Spring, Texas/St. Pius High School), Ashley James (Highland Village, Texas/Marcus High School) and Jennifer Ramirez (Brooklyn, N.Y./ASA Junior College).
A 5-foot-7 guard, Archer comes to the Islanders as a three-star recruit with a 90 ranking from ESPN. It also ranks her as the 18th player nationally at her position.
Coming from Spring, Texas, Fields will bring some inside presence to the Coastal Bend. The 6-foot-2 post is ranked 42nd in the nation at her position and 309th nationally overall. In her junior year at St. Pius, Fields nearly averaged a double-double with 10 points a game to go along with eight rebounds each time out.
James, a 5-foot-4 point guard from Marcus High School in Flower Mound, Texas. In her junior year, she was named first team all-district and the defensive player of the year in her district. That season, James averaged 10 points, four steals and three assists per game. She has also picked up district MVP and offensive player of the year awards during her high school career.
Ramirez, a native of Brooklyn, N.Y., comes to the Island University from ASA Junior College in New York City. Ramirez played her high school basketball at New York City Lab School. In her junior season she averaged 18.8 points, including a 35-point performance in her team's playoff game, as well as 6.5 assists and 6.5 rebounds a game.
With the departure of eight players from last year's squad, the Islanders only have four returners for the 2013-14 season made up of three seniors and one sophomore. The leading scorer out of the bunch was Ashley Darley, who was second on the team in points scored with 7.9 a game. Darley also ranked second on the team in rebounds per game and steals per game last year.
Taryn Gregory also returns for her final season after starting in 20 games last year. She comes into the year ranking fourth in career free-throw percentage with a .764 overall mark her first three years. Brandi Huff rounds out the trio of seniors after ranking third on the team in rebounds a year ago.
The lone sophomore on A&M – Corpus Christi's roster is Ashanti Plummer. The Manhattan, N.Y., native enters play this year after making an impact on the team her freshman year, ranking second on the team in games started with 22 and first in the team in blocks and 11th in the Southland in the same category.
The Islanders enter this season with the top-ranked recruiting class in the Southland after signing 10 newcomers. However, five of them join the Island University with collegiate experience – three at the Division I level.
Two of the transfers have played for coach Royce Chadwick, as Shay Weaver and Jasmine Shaw come to the Island University after playing for him at Marshall. Shaw will look to make an immediate impact, while Weaver will sit out this season because of NCAA transfer rules.
Alissa Campanero will look to get the ball in the hands of shooters as she dished out 4.9 assists per game last season with Odessa College and has experience in Division I after playing her freshman season at Hawaii.
Adebayo played at Eastern Oklahoma State Community College and averaged 16 points and seven rebounds per game, while securing 12 double-doubles, picking up First Team All-Conference, First Team All-Region and Third Team NJCAA All-American honors.
Lexy Harris joins the Islanders after averaging a double-double with Angelina Community College, averaging 12.8 points per game and 10.9 rebounds to go along with 2.1 blocks per game.
Rounding off the highly touted recruiting class are four freshmen. No. 63 in the ESPN Girls Recruiting National Rankings is Camesha Davis who averaged 16 points and 8.5 rebounds at Desoto High School. Another freshman that comes to the Coastal Bend almost averaging a double-double is Doshi Davis who averaged 11 points and 8.3 rebounds as a senior at Memorial High School in Port Arthur, Texas.
A freshman that managed to average a double-double her senior season of high school was Brittany Mbamalu, pulling down 10.1 rebounds a game to go along with 20.8 points. She was also named first team all-district her junior and senior seasons. Looking to help out a team that averaged less than 50 points a game last season is Kassie Jones, who was ranked 10th in Texas in scoring her senior year, averaging 24 points a game.
After finishing last season 3-15 in conference play, the Islanders have been picked by the Southland coaches to finish ninth in the conference, while the SID Poll has A&M – Corpus Christi occupying the 10th spot.
The Islanders will matchup with Southland newcomer New Orleans for the first time with a 4 p.m. game on Saturday in the American Bank Center. Next, A&M – Corpus Christi will face several tough road games, as it plays a season-high four consecutive games away from home.

I would like to have a special setting that when the original file has sbs/SBS in the name, it would render the subtitle file with duplicate text for Side-By-Side compatibility. Otherwise the text gets too large and even with the smallest setting it is centered on the screen so that it always covers both halves of the screen as of today.
The function would just duplicate the text output and center it exactly on the same distance for perfect overlap with SBS on TVs supporting this (SONY etc)
Would this be possible via a plugin?

World Vision staff in Mali report that military action has been so far confined to the capital city and has not affected the organization's program sites.
Military troops seized power in the West African nation of Mali on Wednesday. The BBC reports that rebellious soldiers have closed national borders and announced "suspension" of the constitution.
President Amadou Toumani Toure has not been heard from since the military took control.
A spokesman for the military said they have ended the president's "incompetent regime" and plan to hand the control over to a democratically elected government.
Mali has been under a civilian government since 1992. A national election is scheduled for July 2012.
World Vision staff in Mali report that military action has been so far confined to the capital city and has not affected the organization's program sites. World Vision works with more than 67,000 sponsored children in 34 communities in Mali.
The unrest was at first thought to be a mere protest by troops who say they are under-resourced in the fight against ethnic Tuareg rebels in the north.
More than 140,000 Malians are believed to have fled from the conflict, either to displacement camps or into neighboring countries.
The United Nations estimates that 3.5 million people in Mali are facing food shortages.
Tens of millions in West Africa are affected by drought, low food production, and high food prices.
Pray for children and families impacted by the violence. Pray for peace in Mali.
Give a one-time donation to assist children and families in Mali and other struggling West African countries. Because World Vision has been awarded government grants, your gift to help provide emergency food, agricultural assistance, and other critical support will have four times the impact.

Democratic congressional candidate Ro Khanna recruited two last-minute Republican candidates to split the GOP vote and restore his position as the top challenger to Silicon Valley U.S. Rep. Mike Honda, an East Bay Republican official claims in a lawsuit.
The lawsuit provides no direct evidence proving Khanna helped get Joel Vanlandingham and Vinesh Singh Rathore into the race, and Khanna's campaign blasted the allegation as baseless Wednesday.
Khanna, a former Obama administration official from Fremont, "is focused on spreading his forward-looking vision to voters in the 17th District and had nothing to do with anyone entering this race," spokesman Tyler Law said.
But Jeffrey Wald of Fremont, an Alameda County Republican Central Committee member, wants a Sacramento County Superior Court judge to order the Alameda and Contra Costa County registrars and Secretary of State Debra Bowen to kick Vanlandingham and Rathore off the June 3 primary election ballot.
His lawsuit claims "Khanna recruited candidates to enter the race as Republicans to split the Republican vote three ways, effectively diluting votes that would otherwise be cast in favor of (Vanila) Singh."
Dr. Vanila Singh, a Fremont Republican, entered the race at the start of this year, while Vanlandingham and Rathore filed papers just before the March 7 deadline.
"The addition of Singh Rathore and Vanlandingham, both of whom are running as Republicans, will split the GOP vote, effectively moving Khanna to second place in the top two June 3 Primary Election," Wald's lawsuit says. "The addition of Singh Rathore, another Indian-American, will split the Indian-American vote. In addition, the fact that Singh Rathore has added his middle name on his ballot designation appears to be a clear effort to cause confusion between 'Vanila Singh' and 'Vinesh Singh,' both of whom are designated as Republicans."
Rathore, a Google product attorney for San Jose, submitted candidacy papers bearing several nominating signatures in the same handwriting, indicating the people didn't sign personally as required by law, the lawsuit says. And Vanlandingham, a tech industry job recruiter from San Jose, submitted nomination papers signed by people who also had signed for Khanna, or bearing addresses or handwriting that differed from those people's voter registrations, the suit claims.
The lawsuit also claims neither Rathore nor Vanlandingham had registered or filed statements of candidacy with the Federal Election Commission as of this past Sunday; no FEC records could be found for either of them Wednesday.
Wald is represented by the San Francisco law firm of Dhillon & Smith. Partner Harmeet Dhillon is vice chairwoman of the California Republican Party.
"The contents of this legal action brought by a voter in the district are concerning," said Vivek Kembaiyan, campaign spokesman for Honda, D-San Jose. "This is a matter for the courts to decide, and we hope that there was no foul play involved in the candidates' recruitment or filing."
Rathore said in an email Wednesday he's "an ordinary citizen tired of feeling cynical and disillusioned by our political process" who filed to run for Congress because of his care for civil liberties, Internet freedom and other issues.
"I spent my nights and weekends collecting signatures for my nomination papers, and it's sad to see another candidate (or their proxies) try to bully Mr. Vanlandingham and I out of the race through litigation," Rathore wrote. "This is exactly why regular people don't get involved in politics."
Vanlandingham emailed the court Wednesday morning to object, saying Wald's claims seem biased: "He makes claims that lead to conclusions that are remarkably one-sided. He makes allegation[s] toward myself that are not true."
Vanlandingham specifically took issue with Wald's claim that his candidacy papers initially didn't reflect his Republican affiliation, noting that he has been a registered Republican for more than a decade. "Furthermore, if Mr. Wald was truly questioning the capability of the office of Register [sic] of Voters competency in doing their jobs, Mr. Wald would be asking for verification of signatures of ALL CANDIDATES not just the Republican candidates.
"It is painfully obvious that Mr. Wald's intention is politically motivated and that he is supported by some 'backroom deal' with Congressman Mike Honda and the Democratic Party," Vanlandingham wrote. "He is using the courts and the tax payer money in hopes of 'splitting the vote' and removing any checks and balances put into place by having any Republican candidates in the race. I would ask the court to dismiss this case and not waste any additional time or tax payer money."
Singh wouldn't comment on the lawsuit Wednesday, campaign manager Scott Luginbill said.
But Singh's campaign did announce Wednesday that the National Republican Congressional Committee advanced her to "On the Radar" status in its "Young Guns" program, which recruits and nurtures candidates who show promise of running a successful campaign.
"On the Radar" is a designation for candidates who have "met the minimum threshold in campaign organization and show potential to achieve greater status in the program as the cycle progresses." It's still short of "contender" and "Young Gun" statuses.
"California's hardworking families deserve better than skyrocketing health care costs, financial instability and mountains of debt on their backs. I am certain that Vanila Singh will be a strong contender this election cycle," NRCC Chairman Greg Walden said in Singh's news release.
