Mark Epps enters this summer with big plans for the Grovetown boys basketball team.
Epps was recently hired as the head coach for the Warriors, replacing Daniel Jordan.
This summer, Epps will work with the team for four weeks, implementing his offense, defense and other facets of the game.
"There's some minor changes we want to make," he said, adding he wants his team to be well-conditioned. "I want to have a fierce defensive presence."
Five years ago, the greatest moment in Augusta golf history took place.
Some might say Larry Mize winning a green jacket in 1987 was the greatest golf story in the area. Some might tell stories of Charles Howell III or Vaughn Taylor.
And you can even argue Augusta State winning its first NCAA Division I national championship was the greatest golf moment in these parts.
Tyler Chavous was recently named the Columbia County boys lacrosse player of the year.
The Evans junior midfielder posted a standout campaign in the Knights' first year of lacrosse. Chavous recorded 52 goals and 18 assists. He also added more than 90 ground balls in the season. He led the county in total points, goals, points per game, goals per game and ground balls. Chavous and Will Millwood were the lone representatives on the all-county team.
Grovetown High School recently celebrated a first.
Fabiola Delgado and Daizah Patterson became the first Lady Warriors to sign college soccer scholarship offers, each signing to play with an NCAA Division II program. Delgado is headed to Erskine College, while Patterson will play this fall at the University of North Georgia.
Also, midfielder Maddie Miller will play soccer this fall at Clayton State.
She didn't sign a offer from the school, coach Kim Riggs said, because she already has a full academic scholarship.
Many of you Columbia County parents can now feel relieved. Graduations have come and gone. Time to close another chapter in your child's life.
Tyler Chavous is proving to be a leader in the sport of lacrosse.
The Evans junior started a petition for the school to add lacrosse a year ago. When he learned his school was adding the sport, he got people out to practices at the old Bel Air Elementary School.
"I got as many people as I could," he said, stating the number of players grew from 15 to 30. "I got enough to start a team.
"It feels really good to know that other people have the same love for the sport that I do."
The story of the Lakeside boys winning a second consecutive state tennis championship starts with Drew Harris.
While the Panthers were already loaded with talent, Harris decided to relinquish his spot as the returning No. 2 singles player on the team. Instead, he teamed up with Elliott Bull to give the Lakeside a powerful No. 1 doubles tandem.
"Honestly, some of the younger kids got better and I didn't improve that much," Harris said. "I was just like if they're better, they deserve it. Plus, I enjoy doubles a lot more."
I chatted briefly Wednesday afternoon with a former youth baseball coach of mine. He's tall, slender and 75.
Fred Lamback doesn't look 75. Then again, a lot of folks I know in their 60s and 70s these days don't look their age – nor do they act it.
Mr. Lamback is still jogging on a regular basis. And he's working on getting his bike trainer back from the shop. I asked if he's planning on competing in any upcoming triathlons.
His response: "I'm trying to get in better shape."
Amy Vincent plans to put up a lot of shots on the basketball court this summer. Now, she has plenty of motivation to do so.
Vincent recently signed an offer to play at Truett-McConnell College.
"It's really exciting," she said. "I'm really looking forward to going next year and being a part of the team."
Vincent, who graduated as a homeschooled student with a 4.0 GPA, played point guard for Eagle Sports of Augusta. Vincent averaged 17 points a game her junior season.
Goalkeeper Jasmine Cole of Evans was named the girls Region 2-AAAAA player of the year after helping her team pull off a first.
The Lady Knights went undefeated in regular season region play for the first time in school history. Cole allowed five goals in region play as Evans amassed a 10-0 record in the regular season. The Knights advanced to the region championship as well as the first round of the state tournament.

Post subject: can i breast feed after having a reduction?
Hi there
I had a breast reduction about 12 years ago and was so dissapointed to hear from my midwife that i would more than likely not be able to breast feed when my little one is born.
Is anyone in my position with success of breast feeding
Posted: Tue Apr 15, 2008 7:37 am
Post subject:
Thought id reply to you as no one else has. Sorry I am not in the same situation as you, although I was told after having breast implants that I would not be able to breastfeed! I dont know why I was told this because I was told by my surgeon when I had them that it would not affect me breastfeeding in the future!??
What was the reason they gave you for not beaing able to breastfeed after havin a reduction????
Posted: Fri Apr 18, 2008 6:55 pm
Post subject:
Hi, Thanks for your replys. I was told by my midwife that when having a reduction the milk ducts are cut therefore the milk supply would have difficulty getting through to the nipple. She said to give it a try but it would probably be unsuccessful. I guess i'll just have to wait and see.
I do know that implants should not affect breast feeding as the this is a completely different op which does not interfere with the milk ducts so thats good news for those with implants

Hi Leona,
I'm in the same postion as you, but I was told from the beginning that breastfeeding wouldn't be possible. There are two types of reduction - one which seperates the milk duct and one which doesn't. It may be that you had the one which doesn't.
My obstetrician seem a bit overly optimistic to me, she just seemed to think it would be no problem. She basically said I could choose. Either you can give it a go, and then take anti-lactation meds if it doesn't work out (because you still produce the milk, it just has nowhere to go), or, she said, if you decide in advance not to try, you just take the anti-lactiation meds before the birth.
There is a whole organisation dedicated to breast feeding after reduction, at www.bfar.org. They have loads of info. It's not really for me, as they're very much there for women who are desperate to breastfeed, and I probably won't be (for other reasons), but I hope that this is a help. There also quite helpful with how to deal with healthcare staff who don't support your wishes to try.
Hope it works out for you!

Post subject: Breastfeeding after reduction
I too had a breast reduction in 2004, following the birth of my three children and when I thought my family was complete. Then we got a surprise and I'm pregnant with No. 4 and due in December.
I've obviously not yet tried breastfeeding following my reduction but as it's something that I very much want to do, I've researched this quite a bit. I see it that it's not impossible to breastfeed but that naturally we would not produce as much milk as is required. To resolve this issue, it is recommended that following each feed, we express more milk too to stimulate our breasts in to producing yet more milk - the whole supply and demand chain.
Another member recommended the BFAR website and it does seem to be great. I would suggest speaking with a Breastfeeding counsellor based at your hospital as they would most likely have more experience with Mum's who've had reductions than your doctor has.
My nipples were cut around too, but still left connected to the nerves etc which were just consentinered up to fit in my new perfect shaped boobs - which I hope won't grow to be as big as they were before the op!!!
Good luck - and remember that knowledge makes us powerful so seek as much advice as you can.

Arkansas extends six coaches contracts
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – The University of Arkansas has extended the contracts of six of its most successful Olympic Sport head coaches further bolstering its commitment to maintaining a nationally competitive all sports intercollegiate athletics program.
With the extensions, the Razorbacks have employment agreements through the 2015-16 season with women's gymnastics co-head coaches Mark and René Cook, head women's golf coach Shauna Estes-Taylor, head men's golf coach Brad McMakin, head men's cross country and track and field coach Chris Bucknam and head women's swimming and diving coach Jeff Poppell.
"We are pleased to announce new agreements for six coaches who have helped our program compete and win in the Southeastern Conference and nationally in their respective sports," Vice Chancellor and Director of Athletics Jeff Long said. "The agreements demonstrate a mutual commitment between our outstanding coaches and the University of Arkansas to the long term success of the Razorback program. Mark, René, Shauna, Brad, Chris and Jeff have all demonstrated their commitment to helping our student-athletes succeed academically, athletically and socially. I am looking forward to the continued success of our gymnastics, golf, track and field and swimming and diving programs under their leadership."
The University of Arkansas recently finished No. 24 in the Learfield Sports Directors Cup standings, a year-long measure of athletic success of the nation's intercollegiate athletic programs. The Directors Cup assigns points based on national finish for up to 20 sports. It was the third top 25 national finish in the past four years, marking the first time the Razorbacks have earned that distinction in a four year period. In 2010-11, Arkansas finished second among programs with 19 or fewer sports while ranking eighth among programs with 20 or fewer sports.
Serving as co-head coaches Mark and René Cook have led the Razorback Gymnastics program since its inception. Currently in its 10th season, the Razorbacks have earned eight NCAA regional bids, won two NCAA regionals, advanced to the NCAA Championship five times, reached the NCAA Super Six and finished in the top 10 in the nation three times. Arkansas has finished ranked in the top 15 seven consecutive seasons and has produced 28 All-America selections and 13 NCAA individual event finals appearances. In 2011, the Razorbacks won the NCAA North Central Regional, tied for ninth in the nation, recorded two wins over No. 1-ranked Florida, beat No. 4 Georgia, and set school records with seven dual-meet wins and four road wins.
Estes-Taylor is in her 10th season with the Razorbacks including her fifth season as the head women's golf coach. Since being elevated from the assistant coaching ranks to head coach in 2007, Estes-Taylor has led the Razorbacks to four-consecutive NCAA Regional appearances, two NCAA Championship appearances including a program-best tie for fifth place finish at the 2011 NCAA Championships. During her head coaching tenure, Arkansas has posted four top-five finishes at the SEC Championship including two conference runner-up finishes. The program has also been recognized twice nationally as part of the NCAA Public Recognition Awards, a program designed to honor teams in the top 10 percent of their respective sport in Academic Progress Rate (APR).
In his sixth year at the helm of the men's golf program, McMakin has led the Razorbacks back to national prominence. In his first five years, McMakin guided the Razorbacks to four NCAA Regional appearances, two NCAA Championships and a program-best national runner-up finish at the 2009 NCAA Golf Championships. Arkansas has also been successful within the conference earning two top-four finishes at the SEC Championship. During his tenure, the Razorbacks have boasted seven All-America and 10 All-SEC selections. McMakin was named SEC Coach of the Year in 2009 and was a finalist for the Dave Williams National Coach of the Year award in 2011. Earlier this fall, Arkansas earned a No. 1 national ranking for the first time since 1997.
Bucknam is in his fourth season as the head men's cross country and track and field coach at Arkansas. He has continued to build upon the rich tradition of Arkansas track and field winning six SEC championships in his tenure including a pair of cross country (2010, 2011), indoor track and field (2009, 2010) and outdoor track and field (2009, 2011) titles. The most recent team crown came earlier this week, when Arkansas won the 2011 SEC Cross Country Championship in Maryville, Tenn. The Razorbacks have earned 64 individual All-America selections in his first three full seasons, including 37 in 2010-11. Since 1992, Bucknam is the only SEC coach other than legendary Arkansas coach John McDonnell, to win league coach of the year honors in his first year as a coach in the SEC. The duo is also the only league coaches to sweep the SEC Indoor and Outdoor Coach of the Year honors in the same season since Arkansas joined the conference.
Poppell is in his sixth season as head coach of the Razorback women's swimming and diving team. Since taking the reins in 2007, Poppell has guided Arkansas back to its place among the nation's top programs including a national ranking of 17th by the College Swimming Coaches Association of America during the 2010-11 campaign. Arkansas returned to the national rankings for the first time in 16 years when the Razorbacks cracked the top 25 in 2008. In his first five seasons, the Razorbacks posted a dual meet record of 37-14 and earned the program's best SEC finishes including a fifth-place showing in 2009. In 2010-11, Arkansas finished the dual meet season at 9-2 and ranked 24th in the final national poll.

Stuffed Eggplant Rolls
2 (1 pound) eggplants
1/4 teaspoon salt
5 tablespoons olive oil
4 garlic cloves, chopped
3/4 pound button mushrooms, quartered
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
4 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
1 cup chopped ham
1/2 cup white wine
1/2 cup Italian Bread Crumbs
1/2 cup freshly grated Pecorino Romano cheese
1/2 cup Chicken Stock
1 cup Tomato Sauce
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Serves 6 to 8
Printable Version
Trim the ends of the eggplants and cut lengthwise into 1/4 inch slices. Discard the outer slices. There should be about 8 usable slices from each eggplant. Sprinkle the slices with the salt and lay on top of one another in a large colander. Place a dish on top and weight it down with a heavy object (a large can of tomatoes works well.) Drain for 20 minutes. Pat dry with paper towels.
Preheat the oven to 425 F. Brush a nonstick baking pan and both sides of the eggplant slices with 3 tablespoons of the olive oil. Roast for 25 minutes, until lightly browned. Set aside.
Heat the remaining olive oil in a large saute pan set on medium-high heat until sizzling, about 2 minutes. Cook the garlic, mushrooms, pepper, basil and ham until the mushrooms have released their juices, about 3-4 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and mix in the bread crumbs and 1/4 cup of the Romano cheese. The stuffing should be on the drier side. If too moist, add more bread crumbs.
Preheat the oven to 400 F. Place 1-2 tablespoons of the filling at the large end of the eggplant slices. Roll the eggplant slices up, enclosing the stuffing. Set aside.
Pour the chicken stock and tomato sauce into a 9x13 inch baking dish, stirring to mix. Place the eggplant rolls in the sauce and top with the mozzarella cheese and the remaining Romano cheese. Bake for 30 minutes, until the cheese is brown and the sauce is bubbling. Serve 2-3 rolls per person.

Tuesday, March 5, 2013
AIKEN, S.C. (WRDW) -- The search is on for an 11-year-old accused of possession of marijuana.
According to the incident report, the juvenile was signing in for an event at the Smith Hazel Recreation Center on Monday when a small bag containing a green leafy substance fell out of his pocket and landed on the desk.
An employee saw the bag and took it away, telling the juvenile she would call the police.
The juvenile told her he didn't care because he was already on probation, but before he left the property, he allegedly asked the employee if he could "get his weed back."
The responding officer was not able to find the 11-year-old.
Tests later confirmed the leafy substance in the bag was marijuana.

The Scientific American Mind blogs will concentrate on psychology, neuroscience, and related fields. Six new blogs are launching on the site today. They will be joining the 11 existing mind-and-brain blogs on the Scientific American Blog Network. All of the Scientific American Mind blogs will also be featured on the Scientific American Blog Network.
The six new Scientific American Mind blogs are:
- Illusion Chasers by neuroscientists Susana Martinez-Conde and Stephen L. Macknik contains posts on perceptual tricks, illusions, eye movements, magic, and the neuroscience of fiction
- Psysociety by PhD student Melanie Beth Tannenbaum discusses social psychology with a pop culture angle
- Beautiful Minds by NYU cognitive psychologist Scott Barry Kaufman explores intelligence and creativity
- Notbadscience is an animal behavior and cognition blog by PhD student Felicity
- The Moral Universe by assistant professors Jamil Zaki and Adam Waytz focuses on social psychology and its relationship to current events.
- Scientific American Mind Guest Blog will spotlight diverse voices on hot topics in psychology and neuroscience
Scientific American blog editor Bora Zivkovic will curate the Scientific American Mind blogs along with Scientific American Mind Managing Editor Sandra Upson and Editor Ingrid Wickelgren.
"On the Scientific American Mind blog network, readers will find terrific insights into psychology, psychiatry and neuroscience from some of the most interesting voices covering these fields," says Scientific American Mind Editor in Chief Mariette DiChristina.
The introduction of Scientific American Mind blog destination is another point of growth for Scientific American's digital offerings. In July 2011, Scientific American launched the Scientific American blog network to unite editorial, independent and group blogs under the magazine's banner. The blog network provides a platform for people in the science community to exchange ideas and interact with SA readers. It started at 47 blogs and has grown to 56. The blogging community is responsible for 25% of ScientificAmerican.com's total traffic.
Scientific American Mind has also launched a new home page, mind.scientificamerican.com, which hosts print and online articles, as well as multimedia, in one convenient location.

I couldn't get my hands on a free android app that properly accounts for altitude variations (gps is quite lame for that). So I wrote my own and I would really like to get some feedback from other runners. The app is free. It shows your track on a map like many other apps out there but it is simple to use and it calculates your elevation variations with very good precision so you can have a real idea of of many meters/feet you climbed up and down. Exporting kml or gpx is simple to do.
Any feedback will be greatly appreciated!

Losing Kyle
He is not a family member nor a relative.
But losing him makes me grieve.
Kyle was my student.
Early this morning, I heard from the radio about his death. He was only 16. He was young, vibrant and would have been the first in his family to complete his high school education. He had lots of potential. He is kind, brave, smart and loving. His teachers love him. He is an individual who would-have-been, who could-have-been and who should-have-been.
I feel for his soul, his family and his shattered future – no, gone future.
I know he is gone, but his memories and his love will always remain in the hearts of the people whom he had touched.
I just wish he will fulfill his dreams, as he goes to heaven.
Kyle, you will be missed!

Things Fall Apart
by Chinua Achebe
Things Fall Apart Religion Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #4
Near the barn was a small house, the "medicine house" or shrine where Okonkwo kept the wooden symbols of his personal god and of his ancestral spirits. He worshipped them with sacrifices of kola nut, food and palm-wine, and offered prayers to them on behalf of himself, his three wives and eight children. (2.14)
The Igbo people pray to their gods through wooden idols of them. It's important to note that the shrine is devoted both to a god, but also the spirits of Okonkwo's ancestors. Family life is so important in Umuofia that ancestors take on a somewhat divine nature; they must be remembered and honored or the ancestors will bring bad fortune.
Quote #5
The story was told in Umuofia, of how his father, Unoka, had gone to consult the Oracle of the Hills and the Caves to find out way he always had a miserable harvest.
The Oracle was called Agbala, and people came from far and near to consult it. They came when misfortune dogged their steps or when they had a dispute with their neighbors. They came to discover what the future held for them or to consult the spirits of their departed fathers. (3.2-3)
The Oracle is widely believed to have foresight – being able to tell men about their destinies. Not only do the Igbo believe in oracles but ghosts of their "departed fathers" – who are thought to have tremendous wisdom to impart on the living.
Quote #6
At the most one could say that his chi or personal god was good. But the Ibo people have a proverb that when a man says yes his chi says yes also. Okonkwo said yes very strongly; so his chi agreed. (4.3)
The gods, especially one's personal god (or chi), are not beyond the realm of human influence. One's personal god can be affected by one's willpower, as demonstrated in Okonkwo's case. This means that a person doesn't live a life completely dictated by fate or the chi they were born with.

NEF RAW Sizes?
I've had the opportunity to get out and shoot with my new D800 over the last couple days. Also had time to review the manual as there are some differences between Nikon's system and the Canon system I've shot over the last 7 years.
The manual shows that the camera is campable of 3 NEF FX sizes: L (7360*4912), M (5520*3680) and S (3680*2456). While the times would likely be few and far between, I like knowing I have the option to capture a smaller size NEF file. However, for the life of me, I can't figure out how to change the size from L to M.
What am I missing or am I interpreting something wrong?
#1. "RE: NEF RAW Sizes?" | In response to Reply # 0gpoole Nikonian since 14th Feb 2004Mon 25-Feb-13 01:37 AM
D800 NEF FX images only come in one size, 7360x4912. You can select the 3 sizes you show only for JPG images.
The dimensions may vary, but this single size NEF and 3 sizes of JPG is common to all Nikon DSLR cameras. The only way to change the NEF dimensions is to select a crop option such as DX on a FX body.

Hi Brad,
To add to what Gary said for the NEF file you can use compressed or uncompressed in 12 or 14 bit. If you are shooting and need to save more room on your card step down to 12 bit compressed and it will save you some room on your card. An uncompressed 14bit RAW NEF files is about 74MB and a 12bit is 57MB. A compressed 14bit RAW NEF is around 35MB and a 12 bit is around 29MB. And Lossless compressed is somewhere in the middle. This is where you can save yourself some space when you need it. I think the chart is on page 436 in the manual.
Happy Shooting,

#3. "RE: NEF RAW Sizes?" | In response to Reply # 0Skyco Nikonian since 12th Mar 2012Tue 26-Feb-13 01:04 AM | edited Tue 26-Feb-13 01:10 AM by Skyco
Hi Brad,
I use three FX image sizes on my D800: 1. FX (36x24) -2. FX 1.2 (30x20 = 9x16 HD TV) and 3. FX 5:4 (30x24mm = 8x10 magazine cover etc.) - as well as DX (1.5x 16x24) on my full frame lenses when I don't want a 40 something MB file to crop on the computer when I can do that in camera.
If this is what your asking about (page 79 of the user manual) go to - Image Area - in your shooting menu in your D800. I have my FN button assigned to image area as I use and change them a lot.
I strongly recommend one of the books on the Nikon D800. The manual is great for telling you what features the D800 has but it don't give a clue as to what there for or how best to use them. I have Darrell Young's "Mastering the Nikon D800" and I would be lost without it! Darrell is a Nikonian and takes time to explain what the settings mean And how to use them.
I hope this helps.
Well Wishes,

Scaena Mainframe Music Processor
Though I was in the Avatar room asking about new digital products, somehow this one was missed, so thanks to Jason Serinus for coming up with a photo for me. There was also a little confusion about the name of the product, but we're going with Scaena Mainframe for now.
The company info says that the new server plays all formats of audio and video and features an aluminum enclosure with liquid cooling, Xenon processor, "error correcting" RAM, and a custom 7" touch tablet to run everything. The Mainframe also runs off of a lithium battery power supply that can go for up to 12 hours on a charge.
No pricing or availability info yet.

Review Details
Babylegs Baby LegwarmersProduct Rating: Product Review (submitted on January 3, 2011):
I have bought some other legwarmer brands but nothing beats Babylegs for softness and stretch in my opinion. I have many pairs for my girls and now that I have a boy, I have some for him too! There are some great boy prints. They are great to add warmth without extra bulk in the cooler months. When babywearing, his pants often come up and these cover that gap! For girls they are perfect under a dress or skirt to make an extra adorable outfit.Would you recommend this product to a friend? Without hesitation!

Kings Dominion Pictures
Let's start the new year with some new photos. 81 brand spanking new Kings Dominion photos from our trip last summer. Lots of Intimidator 305 pictures, some great Dominator pictures – all kinds of goodness. You can set your pretty little eyes on the full Kings Dominion photo gallery or you can just look at the new Kings Dominion photos. Your choice.
Don't forget about the Intimidator 305 video (complete with fist-down-your-throat soundtrack) or the Crypt video (do I still have to mention they're in HD?) or even the Intimidator 305 wallpapers. Because you're missing out if you skip them. And you don't want to suck like that. I don't want you sucking like that. So let's just not suck and give it all a look.
That's it. Happy New Year!

Bubbling to the Top
Chris Reed brews and bottles natural soft drinks, but he might soon be uncorking some champagne. The 47-year-old president of Reed's Inc. brewed up an $8 million IPO that has generated a broad consumer response and a good deal of buzz on Wall Street.
Although the public stock market is generally not welcoming to small companies these days, Reed's has put some sparkle in its offering. The trick? Advertising the stock offering directly to its consumer base via a bottleneck tag.
Because of its all-natural ingredients and hand-crafted products, Reed's has thousands of passionate customers in natural food stores across the country. Reed hopes to make those consumers as loyal to his company as they are to his product.
"If we can get the funding from the consumers, it's better for us," says Reed. "They're a passionate shareholder rather than a trader or flipper."

Google's Wonder Wheel on DrupalPosted: Fri 03/27/2009 by seoexpert

Bash Accelerated Drupal InstallationPosted: Fri 01/30/2009 by seoexpert
When developing Drupal modules or checking out modules I don't know yet, I run an instance of Drupal on my local machine. Sooner or later I feel the need to erase this installation and do a fresh install. The Drupal installation process is pretty straightforward and simple making it a good candidate for automating at least parts of it.
In the Drubuntu Drupal group I found this install script for Drupal that does not only install Drupal but also creates an operating system user, as well as apache2 and DNS configurations. A pretty useful script, but it does too much for my development needs.
Linking the Logo to the Home Page with JavaScriptPosted: Thu 01/08/2009 by seoexpert
The logo of a Web site is not only important for branding but also as a navigational element, that many users expect to link to the home page. According to usability guru Jakob Nielsen the first of Ten Good Deeds in Web Design you can do is link your logo to the home page except you are on the home page.
Mr. Nielsen conducted many usability studies and has written groundbreaking articles and books on Web usability. Good reason for me to trust him when it comes to this topic, especially when it sounds completely plausible.

- Conference date: 19–23 October 2009
- Location: Malta
Lenticular galaxies display the prominent disks that are characteristic of late‐type galaxies, but contain no gas, dust or star formation like early‐type systems. So are they more closely related to spiral or ellipticals?.
One important clue to their origin is recorded in the kinematics. If they are simply quenched spiral galaxies then their stellar motions should be identical to those in spirals, whereas if their origins are closer to an elliptical, produced through merging, then this history should be reflected in more random stellar motions ([1]).
We performed a maximum likelihood analysis in order to recover rotation velocity and random motions in the spheroidal and disk component of the galaxy NGC 1023. Its kinematics are consistent with the one of a stripped spiral, somehow complicated by an ongoing minor merger.

As crazy as it sounds I'm loving this story about the White House and Bill Clinton trying to get Kendrick Meek to drop out of the race at the behest of Charlie Crist.
Why you ask?
Because it was obvioiusly leaked by and afterwards pushed by Charlie Crist himself.
See when you start playing with footsie with a RAT like Crist this is the kind of shit that happens. I love that folks now see just how royally the White House and national Democrats have fucked up the race down here and that they all now have a lot of egg on their face. I love that up until Tuesday and maybe even after they will have to answer uncomfortable questions about it.
Kendrick Meek deserved a hell of a lot better and people like me will not forget.

Am I a grinch for thinking Chocolate Chip Cookies are not acceptable on a holiday cookie tray?
I make CCCs throughout the year. I love CCCs. They are not difficult to bake.
Holiday cookies, to me, are ones that take a bit more time, have special flavors, and are passed down for generations.
I received a cookie tray from a friend with CCCs and oatmeal raisin cookies. I appreciate the thought/gesture, but it just didn't hit me as Christmas-y! I understand that people don't have the time/money to devote to more challenging/expensive cookies, but ugh.

Commissioners reappoint pro-development planners
Published: Wednesday, April 15, 2009 at 11:58 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, April 15, 2009 at 11:58 a.m.
Henderson County commissioners in a split vote reappointed three Planning Board members with development ties, turning back efforts to add more balanced growth voices that advocates called for.
With no discussion, commissioners reappointed Realtor Steve Dozier, contractor Mike Cooper and golf course manager Tommy Laughter.
Polled by the board clerk, commissioners Larry Young, Charlie Messer and Mark Williams all named the incumbents as their choices.
Commission Chairman Bill Moyer favored Cooper, Guri Andermann and Jerry David and Commissioner Chuck McGrady named Laughter, Andermann and David.
The makeup of the Planning Board has become an issue in recent weeks as the advisory board has sought to limit discussion of area plans to people living in each community or at least to identify whether the speaker lives in the area.
Advocates of more growth restrictions contend the Planning Board is made up of a majority of professionals with ties to home building, commercial construction and development.
The Planning Board generally makes recommendations on rezoning and other development requests but has the authority on its own to approve subdivision requests from 35 to 299 lots.

The preliminary investigation into a serious traffic accident that occurred at 2251 hours last evening has revealed the following:
20-year old Dana Royal of Perry Oliver Drive, Hope Mills, was traveling north-east on Gillis Hill Road when she lost control of her vehicle causing it to leave the roadway. While attempting to return to the road, she overcorrected her vehicle and crashed head-on into an oncoming van driven by 46-year old Terry Coonfield, of N. Main Street, Raeford. The impact of the crash was such that it caused Mr. Coonfields vehicle to leave the roadway and come to rest in the bushes.
Upon arrival to the scene, Officer Mark Jodoin noticed fire coming from the front of the van. He additionally identified two occupants inside the vehicle. After extinguishing the fire, Jodoin was able to pull Mr. Coonfield out of the van. The passenger, Ardella Coonfield, identified as Mr. Coonfields mother, remained trapped in the vehicle until the Fire Department arrived. There is no update on their conditions at this time.
Dana Royal, who has been determined to be at fault in the accident, was airlifted to UNC Chapel Hill, where she remains in critical condition.
There is no additional information available at this time as the investigation remains ongoing.

'it's just a fun event, unfortunately, with me being more track focused, it's a hard time of the year to come back to Maine for a road race.

It's no secret; by the end of this fiscal year, the state of Mississippi will no longer receive federal stimulus dollars.
Lawmakers are meeting this week to start on the 2012 budget. They estimate this could mean $500 million less going in to the 2012 budget year.
It's the first day of meetings for the Joint Legislative Budget Committee, a week-long effort to try to sort out next year's budget with state agencies.
"We've got to really do good budgets and to make best use of the dollars available," said House Speaker Billy McCoy.
With almost 3 months in to FY 2011's budget and FY 2012 on the table, lawmakers say the catch here is that federal stimulus funds will run out in 2011.
"But we realize again that there's about half a billion dollars of federal stimulus money that will go away," said Lt. Gov. Phil Bryant.
As agencies present their efforts as to where more money might be needed, Bryant says the state legislature won't have any room to provide additional funds.
"And this year, we think they'll be asking for about $607 million worth of new money, as terrible as that is to believe in these terrible economic times," said Bryant.
As Gov. Haley Barbour sliced 12 percent from last year's budget, the budget this year was $500 million less at $5.5 billion.
And though revenue reports so far show the state slowly climbing out of the red, lawmakers say it's too early to say that agencies won't have to pay the price.
Meantime, the Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks reported Monday laying off 19 employees total state-wide for budget reasons.
Eleven of those were working at George Payne Kossar State Park near Enid. This park could now be closed indefinitely.

WASHINGTON - On Tuesday, Cruz said on conservative Glenn Beck's radio show that if the United States strikes Syria it will be acting as "al Qaeda's air force."
That prompted a stern rebuke from an Illinois lawmaker - a fellow Republican - at this afternoon's House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing on Syria.
"I have heard people say, and it has really bothered me - they say that if we go in and we strike Assad, and make him pay for the use of chemical weapons… that we are acting as, quote, `Al Qaeda's Air Force,' " said Rep. Adam Kinzinger. "That is a cheap line by some people to garner headlines and not a serious discussion about what is going on in Syria."
Kinzinger asked Secretary of State John Kerry what he thought of the Texas senator's colorful characterization, though neither cited Cruz by name.
Kerry responded by taking issue with the suggestion that a strike would aid any terror group. "if "It won't help Al Qaida. It will further expose Al Qaida. But it will hold a dictator accountable to this critical standard," he said.
Failing to act, he said, would allow Assad to act with impunity, and "completely undermine America's credibility, America's word in the region and elsewhere. It will embolden North Korea and embolden Iran."

Cold, Flu, & Cough Health Center
New Bird Flu No Immediate Threat: U.S. Experts
By Amanda Gardner
HealthDay Reporter
TUESDAY, April 9 (HealthDay News) -- At this point, there's no reason to believe that the emerging H7N9 strain of bird flu that has sickened at least 24 people and killed seven in China is cause for alarm, health officials in the United States say.
For one thing, no cases of human-to-human transmission of the virus have yet been reported -- a necessary precursor to a full-blown pandemic.
"This is very early in the course of identification of human cases," said Dr. John Midturi, assistant professor of internal medicine at the Texas A&M Health Science Center College of Medicine, in Temple.
"We do see something similar every few years with avian [bird] flu," added Richard Webby, a member of the department of infectious diseases at St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital in Memphis.
But this year's strain does seem a little different.
"What's making everyone a little bit more uneasy is that, looking at the sequence of the virus, it appears to have some mutations we think may indicate that the virus might have increased its ability to replicate in humans," Webby said.
But for now, there's no proof of that ability, he cautioned, and the genetic sequence of the virus would still need to change for it to pass easily from person to person.
The first human cases were not identified until March 31, according to published reports.
It's possible that the H7N9 virus is also found in some type of mammal, such as swine, and public-health officials are working to identify possible hosts.
"We don't think that necessarily just this virus growing in [birds] would cause some of these [genetic] changes," said Webby, who's also director of the World Health Organization Collaborating Center for Studies on the Ecology of Influenza Viruses in Lower Animals and Birds. "We can't say with any sort of gusto that the last host of this virus was an avian host. Avian flu is a very generic sort of term.
Chinese authorities are taking precautions against further spread of the virus, suspending sales of live poultry in Shanghai and slaughtering poultry in markets where the virus has been detected.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower
by Stephen Chbosky
Literature and Writing Quotes in The Perks of Being a Wallflower
How we cite our quotes: (Part.Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #1
I like to read books twice. (1.3.2)
After the revelation at the end of Perks, you might want to read it a second time, too. Trust us—you'll see a ton more the second time around.
Quote #2
[To Kill a Mockingbird] is now my favorite book of all time, but then again, I always think that until I read another book. (1.4.2)
Confession: the same thing happens to us. Our favorite books are The Giving Tree, The Road, and Invisible Man, but tomorrow? It's anyone's guess. And you know what? We're not complaining about a world where there are enough great books to keep changing our minds.
Quote #3
When I write letters, I spend the next two days thinking about what I figured out in my letters. I don't know if this is good or bad. (1.10.2)
The process of writing something down can be a great way to figure out complex problems. Stumped on a paper? Just start writing, and the solution might just come to you.

Top Cow's PILOT SEASON Goes into STEALTH Mode
PILOT SEASON Goes into STEALTH Mode
"Through the simple circumstances of living in the same house with his father and him being absent-minded, Todd learns that his father is a superhero named Stealth," said writer Robert Kirkman. "Stealth's been in action for better part of his life. All those years growing up, Todd wondered why his dad wasn't around for t-ball and other things, but now he knows why – his dad was saving the world. Finding out about this aspect of his father's life is groundbreaking for him, but its difficult to talk to his father about it since he has Alzheimers."
While Kirkman's other superhero title Invincible is more a classic variety of the superhero genre, this book takes the enthusiastic creativity of cape fiction and plays it against real life struggles of a modern family.
While operating under the guise of the tech-savvy flyer Stealth, Todd's father saved the world but also accumulated his fair share of enemies along the way. Those threats, along with the erratic behavior one would expect when dealing with Alzheimer's, puts a heavy toll on Todd's lap and his relationship with his father.
"The book really tackles the idea of what happens when superhuman vigilantes get old," said Marc Silvestri, who partnered with Kirkman on all of this year's titles. "Like so many of Robert's concepts, this one succeeds on his characterization. You really feel for these guys, you know?
Although the series promises some weighty subject matter, the creators also know how to weave in superheroic elements that they all know too well. Top Cow founder Marc Silvestri worked side-by-side with Kirkman to flesh out all of the Pilot Season books including this one, and this one gave him a chance to design a whole new superhero.
"This concept was difficult," said Silvestri," in that Robert didn't really have a concrete idea of what he wanted this superhero character to look like. We decided we wanted to have him be a technology-based hero. I've been exploring the idea of having technology possessing an organic quality, as well as different textures and materials playing up against each other. I also thought the idea of transparent wings was something cool to play with."
Although the character is going on in years, his superhero Stealth suit remains as cutting edge as it was when he first donned it many years ago.
Stealth is the third of five Pilot Season books coming out from Top Cow this year. In a unique
"Sheldon's actually been in the Top Cow studio for some time, studying with me and assisting me with backgrounds," explains Silvestri, who is well known in the industry for mentoring superstar artists such as David Finch and Michael Turner. "He's had a couple smaller projects with us, but recently he made a really great leap in his art and we thought this was a good time and opportunity to thrust him into the spotlight."
Mitchell, who previously worked on the Top Cow books Trinity: Blood on the Sands and the recent Witchblade Annual, is one of several artists who work in-house at Top Cow's studio dubbed "the pit".
Each of the five artists chosen to draw this year's crop of Pilot Season books brings a different style and perspective to the concepts Kirkman and Silvestri dreamed up, giving each title a shot in the voting process to choose the winner for the unique competition. Just as in previous years, fans will vote online to see which titles they want to see expanded into a full series. Each year, the top two vote-getters are greenlit into the full series, but it's not an easy thing – in the first year alone, the Pilot Season competition garnered over four million votes from fans. With Kirkman helming all five projects, his thoughts aren't so much if he'll win or not but which of his creations fans will like best.
"It's a weird thing in that I don't have a stake into what exactly wins," explained the writer. "I think each of the five concepts have enormous potential to continue. I'm actually anxious to continue writing all five of them. I honestly want all five of them to win. Whichever two are in the winner's circle will bust out in miniseries of their own, but I honestly can't rule out the possibly of expanding the other ones in the future. I think it's a fun thing for readers, for retailers, and the Top Cow crew and me. I hope it's something people get behind and campaign for their favorite books."

Wildfire Burning Near Leavenworth Triples in Size
A ridge-top wildfire burning northeast of Leavenworth, Wash., tripled in size overnight and residents of 30 nearby homes have been told to evacuate. Residents of another 35 homes have been told to prepare to evacuate.
Fire spokeswoman Robin DeMario said on Wednesday morning the Eagle Fire has grown to more than 2 square miles, because of overnight fire activity and more accurate mapping.
No structures have been lost, but DeMario says the fire has burned to within a few feet of some homes. It is burning through grass and brush in some areas and timber in others.
Heavy smoke is drifting east toward Wenatchee and Cashmere.
About 300 people are fighting the wildfire.

We have to admit we found a point made by Nomura's Richard Koo last month a little confusing. He argued quite persuasively that deflation is simply not a serious problem for the Japanese today.
JP Morgan's chief Japan economist Masaaki Kanno weighed in on the rather odd dichotomy in the FT on Monday, arguing that:
The key to understanding the success of Abenomics is the asymmetric response between the currency and the bond markets, which can be attributable to divergent inflation expectations. In the currency market, inflationary expectations rose among investors, mostly non-Japanese, while on the other hand the JGB market remains dominated by Japanese investors, whose inflation expectations appear more or less unchanged.

A Little Princess
by Frances Hodgson Burnett
A Little Princess Questions
Bring on the tough stuff - there's not just one right answer.
- What does royalty have to do with anything? Why is Sara called a princess?
- How would you chart Sara's path in terms of rising and falling?
- What is the role of imagination and storytelling in the book?
- If the story was set in present-day times, where would Sara be and how would her situation be different?
- How important is money in the story and why?
- What is the role of geographic location in the story? Would it be different if Sara were a little czarina from Russia instead of an exotic princess from India?
- Isn't it a little bit creepy that Emily is such a character in the book? We mean... she's a doll. And dolls are creep-tastic. Why do you think she's so important?
- Let's talk about words: does it make a difference what kind of accent the characters have?
- Why does Sara get to be adopted by a rich man while Becky has to end up working in a bakery?
- What in the world is Miss Minchin's deal? Do you think she sees the error of her ways by the end?
- Why is the Indian gentleman so sick?
- What does the Large Family represent to Sara? Why are they obsessed with her, too?

What Kind of Person Decorates a Garage?
Subaru people can identify with SVX driver Toly Arutunoff. He's a distinguished vintage auto racer, now 74, whose heart has a soft spot for cars that perform better than they're expected to.
Although Arutunoff has been involved with various businesses, including oil drilling and auto dealerships, he hasn't had a "normal" career path. He was born into privilege – his Russian father had invented equipment that proved invaluable to the oil industry – just before World War II. After Toly Arutunoff earned degrees in English, philosophy, and math in the 1950s, he followed his lifelong passion to race cars.
Because of his family's fortunes, Arutunoff's only limit to what he could do with his cars was his own good sense. The garage he built at his Tulsa home is not outrageously outfitted, nor are his cars priceless collectables. In fact, his 12-car, French-door structure could probably be duplicated by an enthusiast with an average income. (The massive pool with waterfall, fountain, and hot tub are likely out-of-bounds.)
Unlike some of the privileged, Arutunoff hasn't simply purchased the fastest Ferraris and the latest Porsches with which to go racing. Instead, he favors cars he can drive on the highway to the races and back and not attract much attention. He also has an appetite for a good story, and quirky orphan cars from unusual manufacturers delight him.
He calls his rare, old Italian Lancia Appia "the ugliest car ever made," and he has a unique model of a Cooper roadster (a 1960s sports car by the same company that produced 1960s Grand Prix cars and the original Mini Cooper) that even Peter Cooper himself could not identify.
He also has built his own car, a unique canvas-bodied, eight-cylinder two-seater called the Lapine Agile (quick rabbit). Surrounding his cars are leather director's chairs and coffee tables on top of woven woolen rugs, which offer inviting places for visitors to relax and listen to Arutunoff's racing stories. A wall-sized trophy case is actually contradictory to his personality that shuns showing off, but his small office filled with pictures of him racing against world champions like Phil Hill, Richie Ginther, Bob Bondurant, and Dan Gurney lets visitors know that Arutunoff has the qualifications to be a star.

The fight goes beyond the call for a full democracy. It is the protection of the very basic rights of a population, under threat of a state that finds the idea of human rights laughable.

La Jolla, California, October 4, 2013 – The International Surfing Association (ISA) is proud to welcome the Czech Republic as its 75th Member Nation of the ISA.
The Czech Republic is centrally located in Europe. It's bordered by Germany to the west, Austria to the south, Solvakia to the east and Poland to the north, making it a popular destination for travellers from all around Europe and abroad.
"We are incredibly excited to welcome the Czech Republic to the ISA as we near the 100 member list mark," said ISA President Fernando Aguerre. "Although a landlocked nation, the Czech Republic is home to many surfers, and it also has a vast array of rivers and lakes, creating great potential for the sport of standup paddling to thrive there. Because of its location, it's also a country that can prove that engaging in wave riding activities can take place anywhere around the globe, without being dependent on the ocean."
Besides becoming the 75th ISA Member Nation, the Czech Republic is the 22nd country in Europe to become part of the ISA. Neighboring ISA member nation Germany, which boasts one of the fastest growing SUP populations in the globe, makes the Czech Republic a natural fit as an upcoming standup paddle destination. The country has already hosted several stage challenge races in lakes and rivers this past year, as well as a variety of events descending rivers and water channels.
"We are so excited to be a part of the ISA. Being a part of the ISA brings a lot more opportunity to our standup paddlers and surfers who can represent our country on an international stage. It will also let us show that even a landlocked country can compete in waveriding sports at the highest level," said Czech Federation Stand Up Paddle (CFSUP) President, Stanislav Hubacek. "Besides working with the ISA to provide more opportunities for our own paddlers and surfers, we also look forward to opening our beautiful lakes, reservoirs and rivers to standup paddlers and surf lovers from all the other countries across the globe as well."
About the International Surfing Association
The International Surfing Association (ISA) is recognized by the International Olympic Committee as the World Governing Authority for Surfing. It was originally founded as the International Surfing Federation in 1964 and has been running the Open Division World Championship since 1964, the World Junior Surfing Championship since 1980, the World Masters Surfing Championship since 2007, the World Bodyboard Championship since 2011, the Hainan Wanning Riyue Bay International Surfing Festival in China, and the World Standup Paddle (SUP) and Paddleboard Championship beginning in 2012. The ISA also sanctions the World Kneeboard Titles and the World Tandem Surfing Championship, and will launch the World Longboard Championship in 2013.
ISA membership includes the surfing National Governing Bodies of 75 countries on five continents. Its headquarters are located in La Jolla, California. It is presided over by Fernando Aguerre (Argentina), first elected President in 1994 in Rio de Janeiro and re-elected seven times since. The ISA's four Vice-Presidents are Alan Atkins (AUS), Karín Sierralta (PER), Debbie Beacham (USA) and Layne Beachley (AUS).

(WASHINGTON) — The Food and Drug Administration has approved a new drug from Pharmacyclics and Janssen Biotech Inc. to treat a rare and aggressive form of blood cancer. The agency says it approved Imbruvica for patients with mantle cell lymphoma who have already received at least one previous drug therapy.

Longwood geographer creates web site with smoke-free restaurant data
February 16, 2009
A Longwood University geographer has used his interest in mapping Virginia data to shed light on one of the hottest issues in this year's Virginia General Assembly.
Information on the proportion of smoke-free restaurants for each Virginia locality is available on a web site created by Dr. David Hardin, associate professor of geography, based on information compiled by the Virginia Department of Health's Office of Environmental Health Services (OEHS). Hardin created the site, which contains two maps and accompanying analysis, after learning in January that the state legislature would consider several bills to ban smoking in restaurants and bars.
Both of Hardin's maps break the state's 134 counties and independent cities down into three categories: those in which a majority of restaurants are non-smoking (slightly more than 75 percent of localities), more than 65 percent of restaurants are non-smoking (about 32 percent of localities), and a majority of restaurants allow smoking (nearly 25 percent of localities).
The OEHS, on its web site, publishes the percentage of restaurants in each Virginia locality that are completely smoke-free, have restricted smoking policies, or allow smoking anywhere. The OEHS gives percentages for both full-service and fast food restaurants, whereas Hardin uses the combined rate for both types of restaurants.
"I have taken the OEHS data and mapped it," Hardin said. "I teach a Geography of Virginia course, and whenever there is data for Virginia localities, I mine whatever data that I can convert into maps."
Hardin's site, "Clearing the Haze: The Proportion of Smoke-Free Restaurants in Virginia Localities, 2009," was posted Feb. 10, only 11 days after he first viewed the data on smoke-free restaurants on the OEHS web site. "The findings of this study are not meant to promote any particular side of the smoking ban debate in Virginia," he noted in the analysis that accompanies the maps.
"One of my maps is a standard map in which I have added a darker shade where not just a majority but two-thirds of the restaurants are smoke-free," he said. "The other is a cartogram in which I changed the size and shape of the localities based on population, as is done to illustrate election results. Populations affected by different rates of non-smoking were tallied using 2008 population estimates for Virginia localities. The two-thirds (smoke-free) localities tend to be in urban and suburban areas, as I expected. In over 75 percent of localities, a majority of restaurants are smoke-free, and over 90 percent of Virginians, just under seven million people, live in localities in which the majority of restaurants are smoke-free."
Was he surprised by any of the data? "I was surprised that the localities in which two-thirds of restaurants are smoke-free contain a majority of Virginians. Also, I was surprised that the Valley and western Virginia were as smoke-free as they are, including Craig County, which is the only locality that is 100 percent smoke-free. Not surprisingly, Northern Virginia localities - Fairfax, Loudoun, Arlington and Alexandria - as well as Hampton Roads, have smoke-free rates in the upper 70 percent range. The least smoke-free localities are Charlotte County and Petersburg, both of which have a smoke-free rate of 8 percent."
Some 34 states have statewide smoking bans in restaurants, Hardin said, including Tennessee, which might surprise some people. It's likely that Virginia will adopt some form of a smoking ban in restaurants - if not this year, then very soon, he said.

Product Description
Fluxx is a cool new card game. Fluxx is...
- Easy to learn - The game teaches itself!
- Fun for everyone - kids and adults, gamers and non-gamers... everyone loves Fluxx!
- Non-collectible - the whole game comes in a single box!
- Fast paced, fun, and totally unpredictable!
- Fun for groups of up to 6, but fun even with just 2 players!
- Unlike any other game you've ever played!
There are 4 kinds of cards in Fluxx:
- Keepers:
You put these out on the table in front of you when you play them.
- Goals:
When someone plays a goal, it stays in the center of the table until a new goal takes its place. To win, you simply need to do whatever the goal says. Most of the time, the goal requires you to have a couple of particular Keepers on the table in front of you. As soon as any player achieves the current goal, that player wins!
- New Rules:
This is where the fun really starts. When the game begins, the only rules are that you draw 1 card per turn and play 1 card per turn. But when you play a New Rule, these rules are either changed or added to. New Rules change the number of cards drawn and played per turn as well as the number of cards you are allowed to hold in your hand, the number of Keepers you can have, bonuses for players who have particular Keepers, and more.
- Actions:
These are 1 time use cards that let you do fun stuff like stealing someone else's Keeper, getting rid of a rule you don't like, drawing more cards, and so on.

Took a look at other people's configs and there's a whole bunch of them with 200000 MHz (!!!) memory frequency of videocards; others have 157/300 MHz indicated as if their videocards ran in powersave mode during the benchmark. Actual RAM frequency not determined correctly too (for example for clearly bus-overclocked rig 400 MHz is indicated). Also, processor's multiplyer and bus speed are not displayed at all, although it's an interesting piece of information.
