upcoming Ubisoft video
game, which closely resembles the real crime and murder taking place in the
Mexico border city of Juarez, has critics upset to the point where some want
the game banned.
The video
game is "Call of Juarez: The
Cartel," and it contains themes of murder, torture and kidnapping
in regards to the war between drug cartels within the city. The game is an
update to an Old West series previously made by Ubisoft, and is now set in
present-day Juarez.
several other first-person shooting games tend
to be violent, the problem with this game specifically is that it reflects real
situations occurring within the city, which is "not something to
be made light of," according to former Juarez Mayor Jose
has consistent problems with drug cartel violence and is one of Mexico's most
dangerous cities. Currently, the Juarez cartel and the Sinaloa cartel are going
head-to-head in a turf war in this particular region, fighting for drug-dealing
territory and prime smuggling routes within Juarez. During the first 40 days of
this year, the average number of people killed in Juarez was about eight per
To make
matters worse, Juarez just experienced one of its bloodiest weekends yet. Over
a three-day period this past weekend, 53 people were killed in Ciudad,
noted that Ubisoft's new video game based on crime and murder within the city
will not only raise a sensitive subject for its citizens, but will also reinforce
certain negative ideas about the city to those outside of Juarez.
course, it is something that those of us who love our city don't like at
all," said Reyes-Ferriz. "It's something that demeans our city."
isn't the only one who feels this way. On Sunday, lawmakers in Chihuahua
requested that federal authorities ban the game in Mexico. Chihuahua
congressman Ricardo Boone Salmon stated, "It is true there is a serious
crime situation, which we are not trying to hide. But we also should not expose
children to these kind of scenarios so that they are going to grow up with this
kind of image and lack of values."
The Facebook
page for "Call of Juarez: The Cartel" has also received criticism
from gamers.
it seem a little socially irresponsible to capitalize and/or glorify what is
ACTUALLY happening (violence, murder) because of the illegal dug trade in North
America?" said a user on the game's discussion wall. "If this game
doesn't have a strong 'illegal drugs should be legalized so that there is no
crime related to drug trafficking' theme, then I'm boycotting Ubisoft
had hoped that all the criticism would make Ubisoft rethink the game's release,
but believes that it's probably unlikely that they won't sell it at this point.
The game is already available for pre-order and is set to go on sale for the
Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 consoles this summer.
know the process is not month-to-month or week-to-week," said
Reyes-Ferriz. "I know it takes a couple of years to do a project like
that. I think with all the headway they have, there's not going to be much that
can be done."
response to all of the negative views regarding the new game, Ubisoft released
a written statement saying that the game was in no way meant to directly
imitate or mock the events occurring in Juarez.
of Juarez: The Cartel' is purely fictional and developed by the team at
Techland for entertainment purposes only," said Ubisoft in its written
statement. "While 'Call of Juarez: The Cartel' touches on subjects
relevant to current events in Juarez, it does so in a fictional manner that
makes the gaming experience feel more like being immersed in an action movie
than in a real-life situation.

video game fans."
quote: First, most of this violence is over drugs -- marijuana to be specific. The fact that the U.S. outlaws marijuana, but allows alcohol (arguably more toxic and dangerous) is debatable in its own right from a civil liberties standpoint, but when you add in the violence that our nation is essentially fostering, it's utterly despicable.
quote: I know you are part of the blame America first crowd for sure but are you that dumb; seriously? I don't use or buy illicit drugs however I do consume water so am I responsible for all the people that drown every year? I mean if the demand for water wasn't so high then we would have no need for all those drinking water reservoirs that people use for recreation and some subsequently die of drowning. Or is this you strawman to advocate from the legalization of pot?
quote: Conservative yes Libertarian no!
quote: I have heard this faillogic before it's the same one people use in reference to the 9/11 Attacks that if we weren't meddling in other countries affairs then they( the terrorists) would not have had any reason to attack us somehow it ends up being our fault; it's a completely bankrupt argument.
quote: Drugs are illegal so any one purchasing drugs (feeding the demand) are effectively criminals.
quote: That being said even if we did de criminalize all drugs in the US it still would be illegal in Mexico and most of the rest of the world.
quote: Mexico needs to clean up their own backyard before pointing fingers northward they are heading towards a failed state not unlike Somalia. As for Americas interests we need to act towards containment a Korean DMZ style Border fence would stop 90% of the BS we are seeing going on the border now couple that with a non-bureaucratic worker visa program for the honest hard working Mexicans and possible a refugee program if things get really bad.
quote: ,Forgive me for my bluntness/rudeness but you surprised me with comments like that.
quote: Drugs are illegal so any one purchasing drugs (feeding the demand) are effectively criminals.
quote: Aha, but who decides what drugs are illegal? You? Joe down the street? Your town council? Nope, the federal government.
quote: And for the record I'm talking about the need for a response in a broad sense, not only from the U.S. gov't. U.S. businesses need to step up to the plate and start trying to play a bigger role in improving the Mexican economy.

The Region 7-AAAA opener on Friday night unfolded much like most of the regular season games have for Cane Bay's baseball team this spring.
The Cobras were competitive but just not good enough to win. The Wildcats dropped Cane Bay to 1-6 overall and 0-1 in the region with an 8-5 win at WAHS.
"We have been competitive in each game but we have found ways to give games away," CBHS coach Shane Todd said. "Our biggest problem is not getting hits with runners in scoring position. We have been pretty good getting to third but that last 90 feet has seemed like three miles."
Against West Ashley on Friday, the Cobras fell behind 2-0 in the bottom of the first, tied it up in the top of the second and then gave up two runs apiece in each of the Wildcats' next two at-bats.
The Cobras host Stratford Wednesday and Goose Creek on Friday in their next two games, both region contests.
"We have to keep working and hopefully our hitting will come around soon," Todd said. "We have shown we can be a very good team but we have to be more consistent."
The West Ashley loss came on the heels of an impressive outing two days earlier, a 2-1 victory over defending Class AAAA champion Ashley Ridge that snapped a five-game losing skid to start the regular season.
Cane Bay's first three losses came by a total of four runs.
Against Ashley Ridge, starting pitcher Justin Shelton took a one-hitter into the sixth inning and reliever B.J. Thompson finished off the Swamp Foxes. Billy Detyens' RBI single in the top of the seventh inning gave the Cobras the one-run victory.
Shelton fanned four Ashley Ridge batters in his time on the hill and walked four. Thompson fanned three batters while walking none.
On the season, Todd said Jacob Page, Thompson, and Austin Timm are his top three hitters.
"We seem to get behind early in games and have to play catch up," he added. "It really has prevented us from playing small ball which is what type of team we are."

ABC's Splash is only in its second week, but it's already dived straight into drama.
Not only did Kendra Wilkinson have a heated meltdown in front of coach Greg Louganis, but Nicole Eggert, 41, got injured in a move that "scared the crap out of me," she tells PEOPLE.
"I had been doing the dive and it had been quite successful for me," she explains of a move that will air on Tuesday night's episode. "I was feeling really confident, and I went in for rehearsal before the shoot. We were rushed and I was a little nervous. I did a handstand off the five-meter platform and my arms, my elbows, just gave out on me."
Adds the former Baywatch star, "I teetered on the top of it and then fell, scraped my legs and bounced off. It looks more dramatic than I can say in words. You have to see it – it scared the crap out of me. It really threw me for a loop. I was just a nervous wreck. But I did recover. I had to."
Before joining the show, Eggert says she thought a series like Dancing with the Stars "seemed really scary," but "Now I'm like, 'Wow, maybe that would have been better.' This one is definitely harder than I anticipated and harder than it looks."
When it comes to six-day-a-week rehearsals with her fellow cast mates – including Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Chuy Bravo and Louie Anderson – Eggert says, "At first it really started out feeling like a team. We were all in it together and it was all of our first time. Granted, a lot of things go on and a lot of things happen. But ... we're in it together. We admire each other for being in it and staying in it."

STEVE LEWIS/Durango Herald
STEVE LEWIS/Durango Herald
The last time Durango High School placed a musician in Colorado�s All-State Orchestra, Nolan Reed wasn�t old to enough to hold the violin that has made him a rising star, let alone play it.
Nolan, a 15-year-old sophomore, is one of the most accomplished musicians DHS has produced. He already is concertmaster of the Durango Symphonic Orchestra and is a member of the first violin section of the All-State Orchestra. The last and only other DHS student to make that squad was senior Lech Usinowicz, in 1999.
�Because of my dedication and love for playing music, I auditioned this year and had to wait a pretty grueling month and a half,� Nolan said. �It was kind of rough � most states take a week to let you know � but it�s pretty exciting for me, my family and Mrs. Reed.�
Nolan is not related to DHS Director of Instrumental Music Katherine Reed.
Nolan will play with the orchestra and jazz bands at Monday night�s fundraising dinner and concert. Guest conductor and soloist Arkady Fomin is like family to Nolan; he has played in the Conservatory Music in the Mountains orchestra under Fomin since he was in fifth grade and flies to Dallas once a month for private lessons with the maestro. This summer, he�ll play with the Festival Chamber Strings Orchestra during the annual Music in the Mountains festival.
The honor student also dabbles in jazz, which is rare but not unheard of � Vassar Clements, Jean-Luc Ponty and others gained immortality in the improvisational style. But he doesn�t have many peers in his age group. At this year�s jazz band competition in Greeley, Nolan was the only student to bring a violin.
�It�s a completely different flavor, and it�s another chance to play music. I like to be diverse,� Nolan said.
Fort Lewis College jazz instructor Jeff Solon is a fan and spends extra time with Nolan to advance his budding career.
�Now there�s a super-talented kid. I wrote him a super challenging solo and he just tears it up,� Solon said of Nolan�s prowess on the strings.
Reed said she doesn�t know how to predict Nolan�s future, because she�s never seen this level of talent at such a young age.
�I don�t see any limits to what he can achieve. He�s dedicated, talented and has put himself in the position to succeed,� she said.

Teenage shooting victim Jesse T. McElhinney's killer will be spared jail time, relatives and prosecutors said Sunday, in a decision partly influenced by McElhinney's family's desire for lenience.
Charges in the apparent gun accident were announced last week: McElhinney's shooter, a friend now 18 years old, faces involuntary manslaughter, aggravated assault and theft allegations, among others.
For an adult, such serious charges could lead to prison time - but prosecutors announced last week that the shooter, aged 17 during the Dec. 26 incident, would be charged as a juvenile. That rules out imprisonment; at most, the shooter, whose name has not been released, could be held in a youth detention center.
"Incarceration would not be a possibility," Blair County Assistant District Attorney Wade Kagarise said, noting that the 16-year-old victim's family supported a lesser punishment.
Altoona police said the teenagers were playing with a gun brought from the shooter's home when it fired, killing McElhinney. Details of the theft charge were unclear Sunday, as police said the teen brought the gun from his home.
McElhinney's grandfather, Dean Sprankle, said Sunday that he planned to appear at court hearings in favor of a lenient punishment for his grandson's friend.
"You put that kid in jail - what's that going to do?" Sprankle said. "I can't see ruining another kid's life. I mean, it's already ruined."
Sprankle said officials at the district attorney's office assured his family that jail time is no longer a possibility.
Prosecutors told the family that the juvenile charges reflected the need for accountability and legal closure in McElhinney's death, Sprankle said.
He said he's accompanied the 18-year-old - who wrote an emotional apology on McElhinney's Facebook page shortly after the accident - to his grandson's gravesite.
"We went so he could pay his respects and grieve," Sprankle said. "If I can do something to save the kid and help the kid, I'll do it."

Sidebottom sidelined for Yorkshire
Follow the Friends Life t20 on ecb.co.uk - click here for exclusive interviews and videos, live scores, match reports, photo galleries and much more
Yorkshire will be without former England international Ryan Sidebottom when they travel to Leicestershire for their Friends Life t20 North Group match at Grace Road.
The left-arm seamer is sidelined after straining a calf in training on Tuesday and will be assessed on Thursday alongside club skipper Andrew Gale, who is recovery from a hip injury, ahead of the Roses clash with Lancashire at Headingley Carnegie on Friday.
Azeem Rafiq will continue to assume Gale's role after he became the county's first captain of Asian origin, and their youngest-ever skipper, in last week's 12-run victory over Durham.
Steve Patterson has been called into the squad in place of Sidebottom and Adam Lyth looks set to continue at the top of the order in Gale's absence.
Leicestershire remain bottom of the North Group despite claiming their first victory in this year's competition against Derbyshire last Friday and are now five points adrift of group leaders Nottinghamshire.
Hamish Marshall has described Gloucestershire's Midlands/Wales/West Group clash with Warwickshire at Bristol as "potentially pivotal".
While Somerset have opened up a four-point lead at the top of the table, Gloucestershire still have two games in hand on their rivals and visit Taunton on Friday as they attempt to reach the quarter-finals for the first time since 2007.
"Beating Warwickshire would put us right in the mix," said Marshall. "It is a potentially pivotal fixture for us."
Kane Williamson has now left the club to prepare for New Zealand's tour of West Indies, but Benny Howell is fit again after a chest infection and ready to take his place in the side.
Warwickshire are set to be unchanged from their eight-wicket victory over local rivals Worcestershire.
Club captain Jim Troughton returned from injury for that victory and is expected to retain his place.
Middlesex will be without England duo Steven Finn and Eoin Morgan for their South Group tie with Hampshire as the pair are back on international duty ahead of the NatWest Series against Australia.
Spinner Danny Briggs returns to the fray for the Royals having been part of the England squad for their Twenty20 international against West Indies.
Durham have named an unchanged 13-man squad for their North Group fixture with Derbyshire.
The Falcons are expected to field the same side that lost a rain-affected match against Leicestershire by eight runs at Grace Road last Friday.

We, the Latino Consortium of the Center for Child Health Research, wish to stress the fundamental importance of ethnicity and race in child health research, a perspective that contrasts with a recent ARCHIVES editorial.1 This editorial states that the attempt to improve child and adolescent health "is often ill served by many of the analyses of race and ethnicity in published studies," and concludes that authors will be asked to limit their use of ethnicity and race as variables to "select issues and questions" in future ARCHIVES issues.

Letter writer insulted both women, teachers
According to a recent letter writer, "brilliant women were unable to find career employment" 50 years ago and therefore had to become a teacher, secretary, waitress or clerk. This is insulting to all women in any industry. There are brilliant women in every career. His statement that schools are "woefully lacking creative instructors and principals" is another slap.
It sounds as though this person has not spent any time in a classroom where the teacher – who must have a master's degree, by the way – has to create instructional plans that will engage students. Depending on how long a teacher has been teaching and whether or not he or she is in a private or public school, there are teachers in public schools who make upward of $80,000 per year after 20 years. Not bad for lacking brilliance. Unfortunately, most teachers are not paid as well as those in the business sector at the administrative level, but that doesn't make teachers, or any other professional for that matter, less "brilliant."

Emails show UT Southwestern mixing medicine, fund-raising
The fund-raising executive from UT Southwestern Medical Center phoned first. Then she sent an urgent email to the president's office about the patient.
"We need to expedite care," Cynthia "Cyndi" Bassel wrote last year. She asked the president's aide whether he would call two of the patient's UTSW doctors "to help speed things along."
"If not," Bassel said in the email, "I can handle."
Such emails, which we recently obtained, shed new light on the intersection of medicine and fund-raising at UTSW.
We first learned of that in 2007, after receiving a leaked UTSW list of people designated for favored treatment. The state-supported institution had insisted VIPs didn't get better or faster care at its university hospitals — just "non-medical courtesies," such as free valet parking and an unlisted after-hours number to reach doctors.
In response to the emails, UTSW spokeswoman Nimisha Savani said all patients receive the "same prompt attention" and "in no instance is a physician asked to 'bump' a patient to accommodate one of these requests." (Full response here.)

Before Bishop England guard Michele Boykin stepped to the foul line to shoot her second free throw with her team leading by more than 60 points in the third quarter, Lady Bishops head coach Paul Runey needed a timeout.
"Hey, no pressure but this free throw is for 1,000," Runey joked.
The senior guard smiled back at her coach as she so often does and stepped to the line to calmly drop in the free throw and join the handful of Lady Bishops who've hit the 1000-point career mark at Bishop England.
"It feels like all the hard work paid off," Boykin said about the career achievement. "I wouldn't have been able to get to this mark if it weren't for my teammates. When I get the ball I feel as though everyone is expecting me to do my job, which is get the ball in the basket."
Boykin did her job well Wednesday night, scoring a game-high 20 points as Bishop England rolled past the Palmetto Christian Academy Lady Eagles 88-10 in the Bishops' home opener.
Palmetto Christian (1-2) scored the first field goal of the game, but wouldn't find a second until midway through the third quarter. The Bishops defense blanketed the Eagles from the start, scoring 14 of their 22 first-quarter points off of 12 steals.
"In practice, we don't blow the whistle," Runey said. "Unless the ball goes in the stands, we tell them to keep going after it. It's nonstop; somebody has to come up with the ball. I think that makes us aggressive when you have to get down and dirty. And all our kids buy into it and play that way in the games."
Bishop England (3-0) finished with 36 steals and limited Palmetto Christian to just 14 percent shooting. Boykin also pulled down 11 rebounds as the Bishops dominated on the boards, 41-15.
Annie Pascutti scored eight points for Palmetto Christian and Corey Caulder added two.
For the Bishops, Mary Harriet Moore scored 16 points to go with four steals and four blocks. Caroline McQueeny turned in eight points and five steals, while Holly Foscolos finished with eight points, two assists and a steal.
Bishop England has outscored its first three opponents this season a combined 246-42. Palmetto Christian and Bishop England will meet again Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. on Daniel Island.
"I feel like we could be able to have a good run in the playoffs and return to state but it's hard to tell right now," Boykin said. "We still have a lot more we have to do. Everyone works hard and does their part on and off the court and I feel if we keep up the intensity, we will be on the court in March playing for gold."

Accomplishment Journal: Record Your Achievements
Do you have an accomplishment journal?
I don't know if you've seen my Wall of Fame & Fortune & Awesomeness but it's a list of all the awesome publications and websites I've have the pleasure of being in, on, or near. It's essentially a list of my accomplishments as a result of this blog and it's something I feel very fortunate to have been able to do. I was in the local paper once when I was in 6th grade for reading to kindergartners in my school, the New York Times was a little bigger than that. 🙂
The point of showing that post both here and at the top of every page isn't to brag or show the world how awesome I am. It's there because it gives me the motivation to keep doing what I'm doing every day, day in and day out. Life can be a grind, whether its in an office, a restaurant, a factory floor, a job site, or a retail store. Unless you make a record of the highlights, you can often get lost in the grind and find yourself on the flip side without a clue of what happened.
There are a few other reasons why I think an accomplishment journal is crucial.
What Is An Accomplishment Journal
An accomplishment journal is simply a place you can write down and celebrate all of your accomplishments. You define what success is and you define what you consider an accomplishment. The door is wide open and anything you want to put down is fair game. What an office manager considers a success is different than what a stay at home mom or dad considers a success. A student has different goals, and thus different accomplishments to note, than an executive. However, for any one of those people, an accomplishment journal is something that can provide value for years to come.
Why Keep One?
If you ever kept a journal as a child (I didn't but my wife did and I love reading her cute notes), you know how much fun reading your own thoughts can be. Who and what bothered you, who you liked and disliked, what your concerns were at the time, etc. Now, an accomplishment journal is similar in that you can relive your successes. It makes it much easier to remember the past and offers a glimpse into your own development. That's the emotional sappy reason, there are also many logical reasons to keep a journal.
It helps you keep your resume up to date. I recommend revisiting and updating your resume every three months, even if you aren't looking for a job. It's important to update your resume when the accomplishments and responsibilities are still fresh in your mind. Can you accurately remember the work you did five years ago? If you were put under the gun, like after being laid off, would you be able to remember the work you did last year with sufficient clarity? If you are able to recall exactly what you did, maybe you don't need to update it every three months. I only know that I can't, which is why I update it every three months.
It motivates you. One of the biggest things I learned from my wife when she was looking for a job several years ago was the importance of progress when there appeared to be none. One of the tips I offered in my post about Three Morale-Boosting Tips for Job Seekers was to track your progress. Tracking your progress in a job hunt is like tracking your accomplishments. It may seem silly or minor to you but when you send out ten resumes or go out on an interview, those are accomplishments. When you look back after a week of searching, it's much better to see "I sent out 85 resumes." than to remember "I spent all week sending resumes."
It lets you define how success is measured. Mark at Soul Shelter recently wrote about his struggles with the idea of success. Mark is a writer, a midlist writer (where the books aren't a bestseller but sell enough to justify publication), and struggles each year around the holidays to describe his vocation. While his struggle was with the external barometers of success for his field, bestseller lists and book sales, he does talk about how "we ought to try to recognize and value others' achievements, big and small, vocational and personal. And most importantly, if we want to be happy and self-confident and continue wholeheartedly doing the work we love—however underpaid or undervalued—we must learn to rely on the measures of success that mean the most to us personally, and strive not to lose sight of them."
Having your own journal of accomplishments can help further that goal, if only for yourself. Rather than look towards income or other external measures, your accomplishments are whatever you want them to be and when you write them down, they can give you the motivation to work harder. You decide what you want to write down and only you will be reading it, so feel free to write down things that are important to you that may not be important to anyone else.
Do you keep a journal of your achievements and accomplishments? If so, what was your latest accomplishment? It's ok to share! 🙂

Bayfield resident Anthony Hamilton died of liver cancer Thursday, Sept. 20, 2012, at his home. He was 77.
Known as �Tony,� he was born to Tom and Ruby Hamilton on Nov. 29, 1934, in Wharton, Texas. He graduated from the University of Texas with a law degree in 1959.
On Jan. 29, 1958, he married Caroline �Sissy� �Hope� Almy in Fort Worth, Texas.
Mr. Hamilton had a general law practice, working with estates, banks and the gas-and-oil industry, in Houston and Bay City, Texas. He retired to both Bayfield and Marble Falls, Texas, in 2007.
His family said Mr. Hamilton read every history book he could from his two favorite libraries. He loved high school and college football, especially following the Texas Longhorns, kayaked the waters of central Texas and never tired of hiking the high trails of Southwest Colorado with his beloved dog, Guapo.
�Despite two years of suffering with liver cancer, he courageously continued to embrace living by means of faith, philosophical acceptance and long hikes with his border collie,� his family said. �Had he still been living in Bay City, Texas, he would no doubt have spent his last years hunting red fish in Matagorda.�
Mr. Hamilton is survived by his wife of 54 years, Hope �Sissy� Hamilton, of Bayfield and Marble Falls; children Vaughn Hamilton of Marble Falls, Adair Hamilton Watson of Alexandria, Va., Vance Hamilton of Brenham, Texas, and Marc Hamilton of Baton Rouge, La.; and eight grandchildren.
A memorial service will be held at a later date in Marble Falls.
Memorial contributions may be made to Hospice of Mercy, 1 Mercado St., Suite 270, Durango, CO 81301; or the Lavenia McCoy Public Library, 395 Bayfield Center Drive, Bayfield, CO 81122.

Friday, April 11, 2014
After two days driving the godforsaken, arid, cacti filled Chihuahuan, Jim and I have decided we are not country at heart and we dont want to be cowboys. We camped three days in a town so small that even though they had an Enterprise business, they had no car to rent; they were too small to have bus or taxi service. There are no chain groceries, so we had to ask what the name of a grocery store was to buy food: Albertsons. We wanted to go to a movie, but there was only one in screen in town that showed one movie on the weekend: Saturday night at 7 p.m. Thats what most of these little towns are like, but the people are super friendly. In the RV park, we share space with tired, bearded oil field workers, welders, and tanker drivers who usually live somewhere else and have a trailer at this end of the trail. And the wind howls constantly whipping wind into every crease and orifice of your body. We keep our coach buttoned up and havent used the awning, although there are no trees for shade, because the wind would whip the awning off. Even then, I am wiping down the coach every day and Jim has given up on bathing her, just trying to keep her windshields clean enough to see. We smell dust and breathe dust; our sinuses and skin are like dried onion skin.
We are here to see the Carlsbad Caverns, internationally known as the longest and deepest of all caverns, with some of the most beautiful formations. They are considered The 8th Wonder of the World. I must admit they are breathtakingly beautiful and will put photos on my facebook page. But after the alien landscape we were traveling through above ground, and then the alien caverns, I really felt I was on the far side of the moon. I was so pushing my envelope of comfort with the differences in environment around us 24-7 that at the end of our tour of the wondrous Kings Palace, Big Room, Queens chamber, Papoose Room, I started feeling claustrophobic and was anxious to get up the 850 foot elevator shaft as quickly as possible. We were disappointed that the Star Gazing Party was not being held the weekend we were there, and the thousands of Mexican free-tailed bats that make the caverns their home had not yet returned for the summer. We had planned to go to both the dawn ranger lecture and viewing of the bats return for the day, and to the dusk lecture and bats exit. Disappointing, but maybe well see it somewhere else.
We stopped at a rest stop to walk the pups, which are miserable in the wind which is strong enough to pick Grits up off her feet and push Charlie sideways. Both their eyes are running from dust and have to be cleaned daily. At the rest stop was an old diesel tractor from a tractor trailer, paint peeling, nobody around, just a spooky engine. Was the driver sleeping, or had it been deserted? We didnt go near, just leashed and walked the dogs until this beat-up yellow truck with no back windshield or side windows in it really banged up. There were two long-haired men in it with bandanas wrapped and tied around their heads and bandanas at their necks. On the side of the truck was lettered: axe man. Maybe Ive watched too many sci-fi or horror movies, but I said with a false bravado, Im a little creeped out here. Lets just let the dogs pee on their wee pads in the camper. Jim didnt take two seconds to reply, Okay, lets go. We hurried the dogs back to the coach, locked the door, and hauled out, watching our rear views to see if axe man was following us. It is scary when you are the only one on the road for scores of miles, there is no sign of life for hours, and still the wind howls like a ghost moaning after you and the dust is thicker than the fog back home; in fact the young border patrolman who stopped us at a checkpoint said sometimes these roads were closed when the wind was so hard there was 0 visibility and even the truckers couldnt hold their rigs on the pavement. We were just praying that over each rise in the road we would see water, a tree, an oasis, but no and we couldnt believe us stopping for four days at The City of Rocks State Park outside of Deming, New Mexico for R & R!

West Ashley resident Shirley Wilson gets $32 a month in food stamp vouchers, and she said it's not the government's business to tell her what kind of food she should be able to buy with them.
Haley's plan vs. federal study
Gov. Nikki Haley: "We are going to go to the hot spots. We are going to go to the base where we know we actually have the problems, touch the people who are causing the problems and that's going to make the difference in what we do."The federal study: "No evidence exists that Food Stamp Program participation causes obesity."Haley: "You are looking at a billion dollars that will no longer be put toward candy and chocolate and sodas and chips, but may be put into apples and oranges and things that are healthy."study: "Food stamp recipients are no more likely than higher income consumers to choose foods with little nutritional value; thus the basis for singling out low-income food stamp recipients and restricting their food choices is not clear."Haley: "We are going to be the first in the country to ask for a waiver that says if you are on food stamps, we want to lift those families up and help them know what good nutrition is."study: "The idea of restricting the food choices of food stamp recipients as a means of promoting dietary improvement among low-income Americans has serious conceptual and practical flaws."Sources: Gov. Haley's February announcement of the plan, the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control
"Nobody should tell me how to eat, except when I'm dying and a doctor puts me on restrictions," said Wilson, shopping at Save-A-Lot in West Ashley Tuesday afternoon. "Why are you going to tell me how to spend $32?"
That's exactly what Gov. Nikki Haley wants to do.
Haley has proposed restricting soda, candy and other high-sugar, low-fiber foods from purchase by food-stamp recipients in an effort to help curb the state's obesity problem.
Wilson doesn't like the idea, and the federal government says it probably won't work.
While members of Haley's Cabinet, including Department of Health and Environmental Control Director Catherine Templeton, have endorsed the plan, DHEC's website includes a hyperlink to an 11-page federal report published six years ago explaining why the proposal isn't practical.
The study cites several reasons for that conclusion, including how there are no accepted standards for judging the "healthfulness" of foods against each other.
Also, "food stamp recipients are no more likely than higher income consumers to choose foods with little nutritional value," and "about 70 percent of all food stamp participants ... are expected to purchase a portion of their food with their own money. There is no guarantee that restricting the use of food stamps would affect food purchases," the study said.
The Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 already restricts food-stamp recipients from buying alcohol, tobacco and hot, ready-to-eat food items, such as rotisserie chickens, with the vouchers. The Haley administration wants to push those restrictions further, eliminating foods commonly associated with obesity, such as soft drinks.
"I don't care what you buy with your money, but when the government is giving a supplemental nutrition voucher to buy whatever you want to and it's the same group of people who we are then treating for obesity ... it doesn't make sense," Templeton told The Post and Courier after the proposal was announced last month.
"I don't know if it's an education that eggs are better than Coke, but we're subsidizing obesity and that's my issue. They can buy Coke with their money."
The state government has not issued a definitive list of what would and would not be allowed under the proposed guidelines.
More than 878,000 South Carolinians, about 18.5 percent of the state's population, rely on food stamps.
North Charleston resident Carmen Gonzalez, 33, is one of them. She agreed that some restrictions should be placed on food-stamp purchases — recipients shouldn't be able to buy a $100 cake from a bakery, she said, but they should be able to buy soft drinks and snacks.
"They should need it, not abuse it," Gonzalez said.
Because the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, commonly called SNAP, is administered through the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the Haley administration will need permission from the federal government to implement the proposal.
The USDA website explains that that's more tricky than it sounds.
"Since the current definition of food is a specific part of the (Food and Nutrition Act of 2008), any change to this definition would require action by a member of Congress," a statement on the USDA website says. "Several times in the history of SNAP, Congress had considered placing limits on the types of food that could be purchased with program benefits. However, they concluded that designating foods as luxury or non-nutritious would be administratively costly and burdensome."
Laura Nance, a registered dietician at the Medical University of South Carolina's Weight Management Center, said even if the program is implemented, it can't be expected to solve the whole problem.
"It's not just about the diet piece, it's about getting more active and changing behaviors," Nance said. "This is just one very small piece of the entire puzzle."
DHEC is conducting a series of meetings around the state to solicit comments about the idea. The final meeting will be held at 5:30 p.m. May 2 at the Navy Yard in North Charleston.
Comments also can be submitted online on DHEC's website, scdhec.gov.

Composed by Giacomo Puccini
Sung in Italian
Act I
Benjamin Franklin Pinkerton, a Lieutenant in the United States Navy, is inspecting his new house, built on a hillside overlooking Nagasaki harbor. The marriage broker Goro has arranged for the house and for Pinkerton's marriage to the geisha Cio-Cio-San, who is also known as Madame Butterfly. Sharpless, the American consul, arrives for the ceremony and warns Pinkerton that Butterfly is taking the marriage very seriously; Pinkerton himself considers it something of a lark, although he is enchanted with Butterfly. She arrives with her friends and tells Pinkerton that she has renounced her religion for his sake. When Butterfly's relatives arrive, the wedding ceremony begins, but it is interrupted by her uncle, the Bonze, who curses her for having abandoned her religion. The family members depart, leaving Butterfly alone with Pinkerton. As night descends, they sing of their love and slowly enter their new house.
Act II
Scene 1: Three years have passed. Pinkerton departed long ago and Suzuki, Butterfly's maid, implores her to forget her American husband, but she refuses, having faith in his promise to return. Sharpless and Goro try to persuade Butterfly to marry the wealthy Prince Yamadori, but she refuses. Sharpless starts to read a letter from Pinkerton, which suggests that he may never return, but Butterfly rejects the implication, and shows Sharpless her son, Trouble, who was fathered by Pinkerton before his departure. The harbor cannon fires to announce the arrival of a foreign vessel, which Butterfly recognizes as the Abraham Lincoln, Pinkerton's ship. She and Suzuki strew flowers throughout the house; she dons her wedding gown and, with Suzuki and Trouble, awaits the arrival of her husband as the sun begins to set.
Scene 2: Butterfly has maintained her vigil the entire night. As dawn breaks, Suzuki persuades her to rest. Sharpless and Pinkerton arrive and Suzuki soon discovers that the woman with them is Pinkerton's new wife, Kate. Sharpless tells her that they want to ensure a good American upbringing for Trouble and he then reproaches Pinkerton for his heartlessness. The latter bids an anguished farewell to the site of his past happiness and leaves, unable to face his Japanese bride. Butterfly enters and, after the situation is explained to her, agrees to give up the child if Pinkerton will return in 30 minutes. She bids a last farewell to her son, then sends him away. She takes up the dagger with which her father committed hara-kiri and stabs herself, just as Pinkerton is arriving for his son.

In the first 11 months of the year, the West Branch Drug and Alcohol Abuse Commission has treated 278 clients who identified heroin as their primary drug of choice. In 2011, they treated 173 heroin addicts in the same time period.
The drug, which is highly addictive and readily available, creates physical dependency in the user. The euphoric effect lures people from all walks of life, from high school students to the elderly.
"Addiction happens as readily to the wealthy and educated as it does to anyone. There is no stereotype for an addict," Jennifer Reeder, the commission's assistant director, said.
"There are a number of reasons people turn to drugs, such as curiosity and escape from life's problems, but ultimately they are all attempting to fill a void in their lives," said Reeder.
Once you're hooked, it's almost impossible to stop without help, Shriner explained.
Those who are concerned they may have a friend or family member using heroin should look for paraphernalia, such as syringes, orange syringe caps, and small 1-inch by 1-inch glassanine bags that may contain white or brown powder residue.
"Look for track marks on the arms," Shriner said. He added that many users will wear long sleeves, even when it is warm outside, to hide track marks and bruises.
However, track marks are not only found on the arms. Users can inject anywhere they find a vein.
"You'd be amazed some of the parts of the body people will inject at if they want to hide their use - anywhere and everywhere," Shriner said.
The potency of heroin means that users no longer have to inject the drug. They also may smoke or inhale the substance, Shriner warned.
He recommended looking for items such as razor blades and cut up drinking straws.
Users also experience behavioral changes such as lethargy, irritability, and loss of appetite. Dilated pupils are another clear sign that someone may be using opiates, Shriner said.
For those ready to seek treatment, the first step is asking for help, Reeder said.
"It can be a daunting decision, so reaching out to healthy family and friends can make a big difference," she said.
Reeder explained that addicts can call the number on the back of their insurance card, or a self-help hotline such as Narcotics Anonymous.
Those with no insurance, or who are on medical assistance, may contact the commission.
"The mantra is changing people, places and things - anything tied to the lifestyle you have in your active addiction can trigger a relapse. It's important to be in an environment that feeds the belief that you have the power to live without drugs and make positive life changes," Reeder said.
"Family members of addicts are often embarrassed to have that person arrested. But if they cannot convince their loved one to get into some kind of treatment program, then they need to call the police so that we can get them into a program," Shriner said.
"This is an extremely powerful drug and very rarely will someone be able to quit on their own," he added.
Reeder agreed that recovery without support is almost impossible.
"The fight to preserve funding for prevention, intervention, and treatment is critical," Reeder said.
"Addiction is a disease that has been compared to diabetes with causes, symptoms, and of course a progression, treatment, and a natural outcome if left untreated. We don't refuse to treat diabetics who relapse by failing to abide by the recommended diet or medication regimen, but many would refuse treatment to an addict who relapses," she observed.

The awards ceremony, which was the highlight of International Volunteer Day, was held under the theme, 'Volunteers Partnering for National Development: Together We Can Achieve More'.
The overall winner for contribution of voluntary efforts to nation building and development went to the skills-training organisation, Operation Friendship. For the past 45 years, the organisation has been offering employable skills training to the youth and vulnerable of inner-city communities such as Tivoli Gardens and those of west St. Andrew.
Those who were recognised individually for their statement of volunteerism to the parish were Karl Goodison, Karen Scale, Percival Cordwell, the Rev. Tony C.A. Cousins and Godfrey Lothian.
Mr. Goodison, brother of talk show host, Barbara Gloudon, has for decades served in several sectors. Currently, he is board chairman of the Human Employment and Resource Training Trust/National Training Agency and director at the Citizens' Advice Bureau.
Ms. Scale has for many years spent several hours on Saturday afternoons offering her service to people living with HIV/AIDS at Matthew Chapter 25. Mr. Cordwell, known as 'Heights Man', volunteers with children age 12 and under, honing their football and cricket abilities.
Rev. Cousins is chairman of the board of directors of Jones Town Agency For Change, which offers academic classes for school dropouts and provides a shut-in for the elderly of the community.
Mr. Lothian is associated with four major organisations such as the Kingston and St. Andrew Action Forum that caters to 53 communities.
Never enough
Rev. Webster Edwards, chief executive officer of Operation Friendship, in his reply on behalf of the awardees, said volunteerism is never enough.
"Voluntary organisations are literally struggling to survive. Often you might see us smiling, but there are staff who we cannot pay and bills that need to be met."
Custos the Rev. Weeville Gordon in his greetings said that volunteerism is still alive today. "Volunteers make a difference by contributing their time, energy and talents to the causes they hold dear," he said.
Various agencies and non-governmental organisations were asked to select volunteers, whom they felt deserved recognition. The nominees were then submitted to the custodes in each parish, who also have the responsibility of International Volunteer Day. The awardees received certificates approved by the United Nations.
More than 150 volunteers across the island were awarded at parish awards ceremonies yesterday.

When my doctor asked if I ever smoked cigarettes I said yes, a long time ago, but I still worry about the damage I did to my lungs during those years. Truth is, smoking was as common back then as drinking bottled water is today. Everybody did it. And while we suspected it wasn't good for us, we continued, even when the Surgeon General added his warnings to the cigarette packs. Personally, I smoked a million Marlboros. Wish I hadn't, but I did. I started because it was the cool thing to do as a teenager. I kept smoking because I became addicted to nicotine. Finally, in my 50s, I quit and walked away from a 30-year habit that had invaded every aspect of my life. That was 15 years ago and I still worry.
More Americans die each year from lung cancer than any other cancer. Because a lot of Baby Boomers got hooked on cigarettes, we have come of age in a time when perhaps we can still do something about it. For many years, the medical profession would not perform lung X-rays because they feared the radiation would be too harmful weighed against the chance of finding something early. Now, they've changed their minds. Studies have now concluded that early detection and treatment of lung cancer is well worth the risk. Indeed, this new procedure exposes you to approximately half the natural background radiation you receive annually.
So, if you're like me, it's better to find out now, than later, which could be too late.
Thanks to Roper St. Francis, screening is now available for patients who fit all three of the following criteria:
•You're healthy, between the ages of 55-75, with no signs or symptoms of lung cancer.
•You have a 30-pack a year smoking history (1 pack of cigarettes a day for 30 years, or 2 packs a day for 15 years, etc.)
•You are a current smoker or quit smoking within the last 15 years.
I qualified under the 1 pack for 30 years formula and my doctor set up my CT scan the next day. That involved being slipped into a tube and lying still for about 30 minutes while the machine scanned my lungs and I crossed my fingers.
When the results came back, I was relieved. My doctor said my exam showed "three little dots" on my lungs and that was good news. He said seeing three dots are actually better than one because, "What are the odds cancer would break out in three places rather than one?"
He said those dots could be most anything and we would check them again in a few months to see if there's any change.
Naturally, I breathed a sigh of relief when I got the news. If you are like me, talk to you doctor and schedule a Low-Dose CT Lung Cancer Screening at one of six Roper St. Francis locations by calling (843) 402-5000.
