The NRA digs in with scare tactics
January 15, 2013
WASHINGTON — When Vice President Joe Biden invited the National Rifle Association to the White House the other day to join in the Obama administration's post-Newtown talks on ways to counter gun......
I dont know if the Journal pays for this type of column, but if they do they should consider it wasted money. Jules Witcover, and most other liberal columnists, do nothng but parrot the talking points of their side with no indication that they have thought through issues and are able to provide convincing, or at least, reasonable arguments. This reminds me of the same type of people Plato often had to deal with 2500 years ago when he said "Wise men speak because they have something to say - fools because they have to say something." This columnist is, I presume, making a living on saying nothing. Doing nothing but repeating old tired and discredited liberal BS.

Even if such fools got their wish and banned all future sales of the dubiously named assault weapons and high capacity magazines, how would that alone prevent the next Adam Lanza from getting his hands on an existing set of equipment and repeating Newtown, or worse ? It wouldn't, but someone like Witcover obviously cannot reason that out for himself. However, it is no accident. It is exactly what the gun-control mentality seeks. The next Newtown will just be their justification to go farther. I won't blame Witcover himelf for holding that motive. I dont believe he is smart enough to be that clever. Such ideas come from the "true believer". Witcover is at best a fellow traveler, and at worse a mere useful idiot.

"For too long, the NRA has used its scare tactics and its money to intimidate spineless members of Congress, and to herd pliable gun owners into going along."
For too long, such fools as Jules Witcover have held out and supported idiotic soluions to problems of their own making simply to achieve ideological goals, and they have herded the gullible masses into going along.
What kind of mind regards the statement "the only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.", as anything other than sound advice and truth, when the response in every one of these shootings by those most affected, the victims, is to call for police to come with guns.

5 Tips to Avoid Getting Screwed by Your Next Online Purchase
Jupiterimages/Goodshoot/Getty Images
If you are completely removed from any responsibility in life, do me a favor. Grab four light bulbs from your house, pack them as carefully as you can, and then mail them to a random location a few states away. Go ahead, I'll wait. I lied, I'm not waiting. How much was the shipping? A couple of bucks, right? I've mailed out books that weigh several times as much for less than $2. Now check this shit out:
Via Amazon.com
Notice the section in the middle that says "Shipping & handling: $21.96"? I wasn't just throwing light bulbs out there at random in my above scenario. That's actually what I bought. The shipping and handling was almost as much as the bulbs themselves. Now, I don't mind paying it, because the type of bulbs I needed were hard to find ... but it sure as fuck shouldn't be doubling the price of my fucking order to get them to me.
Given, my complaint isn't always correct. Let's say that instead of ordering my lights from the largest lighting supplier in the world, I was ordering it from Tito's Love Monkey Emporium and Also Lights. It's run by Tito and his lovely wife, Chad Woman. They're too small of a business to have FedEx stop by weekly for pickup, and they don't ship out enough merchandise to keep tons of packing material on hand. This means that they have to pay for the box, the packing material (bubble wrap, Styrofoam), the gas they'll be burning to get to and from the post office, and the minimum wage employee's hourly wage to take it there. By the time they're finished nickel and diming, they've added a couple of dollars to the deal. Fucking drug dealers are more efficient than that.
Stockbyte/Stockbyte/Getty Images
"That'll be $4 million."
Regardless of whether shipping prices are inflated or not, you have to factor them in, even though you most likely won't know what that price is until you hit the checkout window. This is especially true with electronics, which can have extremely high shipping costs that factor in insurance and pretty heavy packages (much like my crotch -- OOOOH!). It's for this reason that I have to be really careful when buying online, because my debit card, like many people's, has a daily spending cap. If I go even one penny over that amount, my card will be rejected and I'll have to find an option that's one cent less than all the bullshit I just went through. Or call my bank and have them temporarily raise the limit, wait a couple of hours for that to be processed (if I even catch them before they close), wait to see if they've called the police after my stream of violent threats, and redo the whole order.
#1. Read the Customer Reviews
Stockbyte/Stockbyte/Getty Images
Nothing in the world compares to customer reviews, but they can be a bit tricky. First, you have to figure out if what you're reading even came from a customer and not some bullshit company shill. It's not always obvious, but one way you can tell at a glance is if their glowing, five-star review sounds more like a commercial than a critique: "I absolutely love my Windows Phone with Windows 8 technology! The whole world is now at my fingertips, allowing me to download and play tons of music and movies with a simple-" Go fuck yourself. Nobody speaks like that, you ignorant twat.
The other thing to avoid is fanboys. You'll find them scattered around from time to time, trashing computers or software with one-star "reviews" like "Should have bought a Mac," or a video game system with "PlayStation is way better." Most of them are pretty easy to spot because they don't contain a single word of useful information on the product. Ignore them like you would any other complete fucking idiot in the real world.
Jupiterimages/Pixland/Getty Images
"U R SUTPID! BUY MAC BCUZ iT BETTR! BLAAAhhRRG!"
But you don't have to be a master of psychoanalysis to figure out that if 20 reviews are all complaining about the same thing, even with another 20 fanboys and shills mixed in, it's probably an actual issue that you should take into consideration.
Keep in mind that you're not just looking at the rating of the product. A four-and-a-half-star rating is great and worth looking at, but it doesn't hold much weight if it's only been reviewed by one or two people. And for some reason, people have an extremely fucking stupid habit of trashing a product in the text and then giving it an absurdly high rating. In this string of reviews, a guy complained about an improperly seated hard drive and a broken VGA port on the motherboard, yet he still gave it three stars, because evidently that's an above-average computer. On the same page, another customer had a broken DVD player and never got a response from customer support: four stars. In fact, there are several reviews on that page that complain of broken parts, bad customer service, and improper construction ... but you'd never know it if you just looked at the rating system:
Via Newegg.com
Holy shit, a four-star review! This computer must operate on magic!
The name of the game is research. Yes, it's going to take a little extra time away from raid-prepping your Druid and begging for tits on 4chan, but it's better to spend that time before you hand over the money than to spend 10 times as long plowing through paperwork, shipping, and the headache of dealing with customer service, who you just know is making a jack-off hand motion while you're explaining your problem.

The terrorists responsible for the September 11, 2001, attacks were motivated, in part, by an ideology rooted in the hatred of Jews. Mohamed Atta, a key member of the Al Qaeda Hamburg cell responsible for the attacks, considered New York City to be the center of a global Jewish conspiracy, and Khalid Sheik Mohammed, who masterminded the attack, had previously developed several plans to attack Israeli and Jewish targets. In their view, New York, as a center of world finance, was the quintessential Jewish target.
In the years since the attacks, a significant number of American citizens and residents involved in terror plots in the U.S. have been influenced by violent ideologies developed by Al Qaeda and other foreign terrorist organizations that promote hatred of Jews and Israel.
According to these ideologies, Jews are the eternal enemy of Muslims and the embodiment of true evil. Al Qaeda-affiliated extremists and those who have adopted a similar ideology have long referred to their enemies as "Zionist-Crusaders," the "Jewish-Crusader Alliance," or the "Jews and Crusaders," thereby identifying Jews as a key component of the forces they view being at war with Islam.
Al Qaeda's ideology, which was developed by the original ideologues of Islamist terrorism, led to attacks against distinctly Jewish targets around the world beginning in 2002. Since then, these anti-Jewish themes have increasingly been propagated online, including in English-language terror propaganda intended to reach and appeal to Western audiences.
As a result, American citizens and residents influenced by these ideologies of extreme intolerance have not only expressed hatred of Jews and Israel, but also in several cases specifically targeted Jewish institutions.
While most plots in the U.S. since 9/11 have been foiled by law enforcement before they were carried out, several cases demonstrate the willingness, if not the capacity, of extremists motivated by radical interpretations of Islam to target Jews.

Weight fluctuates that much during the day?
I got a TSH blood test done on me in November, and my thyroid levels came out normal.
Hahaha you have NO idea how fast my heart rate goes up during the playoffs. It's quite sad, really. It's in the 120's thats for sure.
Thanks buddy.
Yeah same here..I mean you'd think with people saying you look skinny that it'd be a good thing, but not when you aren't doing anything to earn it like in my case. lol
I just get TOO paranoid thinking something is wrong. And in return being that way makes me lose my appetite because I get all anxious and scared. Ay yi yi.
Oddly enough I just got a personal trainer (a week ago today and have had three sessions so far in addition to my dancing).
Always take your weight at the SAME time every day.. Your weight fluctuates 5-6lbs throughout the day so checking it three or four times, you won't get an accurate weight. He and I just talked about this in my session today because I did the same thing. I weighed myself in the morning a week ago then on Monday during the evening and I was 6lbs heavier. I asked him why and he told me that your weight fluctuates 5 to 6 lbs at any given time during the day.

As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
Adapting to Evolving Business Environments Is...
LC-MS Gains Favor Due To the...
Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
The multibillion-dollar worldwide market for injectable antithrombotic drugs (including anticoagulants and antiplatelet agents) will continue to grow as minimally invasive surgical interventions to open blocked coronary vessels become increasingly commonplace.
Despite the agents available in the clinician's antithrombotic toolbox today, control of clotting remains suboptimal. Clinicians performing intravascular interventions are still faced with achieving the delicate balance between preventing the formation of ischemia-producing clots while allowing healing clots to form and develop normally to prevent excessive bleeding.
Antithrombotic technology in the acute and subacute care cardiovascular setting is poised for a paradigm shift and is in need of therapeutic alternatives with improved safety profiles and enhanced effectiveness. New treatment strategies capable of more selective and actively controlled inhibition of critical targets in the coagulation cascade will reduce the risk of adverse events associated with revascularization procedures.
Novel approaches that give clinicians a greater degree of control over coagulation will concomitantly minimize the risk of ischemia and bleeding and allow for real-time adjustment of the therapeutic effect in individual patients. The result will be optimized safety and efficacy of anticoagulant therapy and a broadly applicable approach to antithrombosis that embraces the principles and advantages of personalized medicine.
Patients with acute coronary syndromes routinely undergo coronary revascularization procedures such as percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI)—angioplasty with or without intracoronary stent placement—to unblock clogged arteries.
With the anticoagulant therapies available for use during PCI, patients are at risk of coagulation-related complications such as unwanted thrombus formation that can lead to myocardial infarction, stroke, and/or the need for vessel revascularization, or, at the other end of the spectrum, uncontrolled bleeding resulting in life-threatening exsanguination, the need for transfusion, and/or extensive medical treatment and a prolonged hospital stay.
Because existing anticoagulants are administered as IV infusions and the infusion is only stopped at the end of the PCI procedure, these drugs persist in the circulation and continue to exert their effects long after it would be desirable to reduce anticoagulation to a level that would minimize the risk of excessive bleeding and maintain homeostasis. The inability to reverse anticoagulant effects with an active control strategy adversely impacts both medical outcomes and the pharmacoeconomics of PCI.
While it is readily accepted that ischemic events lead to increased costs and grave medical consequences, it is not as well known that excessive bleeding carries a high cost in terms of both mortality and medical expenditures. Patients who experience a major bleed are at least two and a half times more likely to die in the hospital than those who do not.
The economic toll associated with bleeding complications has been estimated at $1,300 to more than $15,000 per patient. The treatment for bleeding may range from frequent monitoring of anticoagulation to extensive hands-on care, often requiring the use of compression or closure devices. In the instance of a major bleed, blood transfusions, with their associated costs and risks, are often necessary. Thus, the next generation of anticoagulants will need to address the issues of ischemia and bleeding equally well.
A pivotal characteristic of the optimized antithrombotic agent will be rapid, predictable, real-time control over coagulation. The ability of clinicians to adjust the antithrombotic effect in response to the specific patient and setting would allow them to minimize the risk of ischemia and of bleeding simultaneously without erring on the side of either clotting or anticoagulation. This is a realistic goal that is now within reach due to recent advances in the development of aptamer therapeutics paired with complementary active control agents.

[B]Netflix Prize awarded[/B]
The Netflix Prize was finally awarded three years after the competition began. A team of seven individuals (BellKor's Pragmatic Chaos) scooped the $1 million prize.
Netflix is a movie rental company, and in 2006 were looking for a way to improve their movie recommendation system. This was important to them, as it is to Amazon and pretty much every other online retailer, since it allows customers quickly find products that will appeal to them, and hence increase sales and return custom.
They released a database of 100 million movie ratings from almost half a million customers. The challenge was to predict the ratings these users would give to a quiz dataset of movies. Netflix knew and withheld these ratings and marked competitors by how closely their predictions match the real scores that customers gave to withheld ratings.
The competition is important in that it significantly advanced the state of the art in recommender systems (aka collaborative filtering) in an open and collaborative manner.
A whole host of techniques were either developed or enhanced to tackle the problem and to handle the large size of the database - the largest publically available database of customer rating data.
One interesting outcome was that no single method of analysing the data was sufficient to achieve the required quality of predictions. Combinations or ensembles of many different techniques provided the best results.
All the details, including the papers describing the winning algorithms, are available at the [URL="http://www.netflixprize.com"]Netflix Prize[/URL] website. [B]Dead Fish responds to Human Emotion[/B]
This story has been doing the rounds of Slashdot and the Register recently, but is pertinent here given my interest in statistics.
The researchers in human brain mapping used the standard statistical tools for analysing MRI data of human brains and applied it to a fish. A dead Atlantic salmon to be exact. The test otherwise followed normal lines: "the salmon was shown a series of photographs depicting human individuals in social situations. The salmon was asked to determine what emotion the individual in the photo must have been experiencing."
Afterwards the found correlations between brain activity as measured by the MRI equipment and analysed using standard techniques, and the photographs of the people. Thus proving that a dead fish responds to the emotions displayed by humans in social situations.... or perhaps that the standard statistical analysis needs more rigour.

Microsoft Raises Its Licensing Fees to Cash in on Bring-Your-Own-Device

BYOD fees for "user CAL" licenses of Sharepoint, Lync, etc. will jump 15 percent
Microsoft Corp. (
) has announced a change that's good news for its investors and bottom line, but likely bad news for business clients.
The change affects Microsoft's so-called client-access license (CAL). If you own a business, you purchase a CAL from Microsoft, which allows your on-site employees to use software such as:
Bing Maps Server
Core Suite
Enterprise Suite
Exchange Server Standard or Enterprise
Lync Server Standard or Enterprise
Project Server
SharePoint Server Standard or Enterprise
System Center 2012 Client Management Suite
System Center Configuration Manager
System Center Endpoint Protection
Visual Studio TFS
Windows Multipoint Server
Windows Server
Windows Server RDS, RMS, Terminal Services
There are
two flavors of CALs
-- User CALs, which allow a unique user to connect any device they own, and the Device CALs, which associate a per device license fee. Previously Microsoft had set these two licensing options to the same price.
User CALs (left) are the preferred solution for BYOD users, versus Device CALs (right).
That was great news for enterprise users, as one of the hottest trends right now in IT is the bring-your-own-device (BYOD) craze. BYOD means that one user may not only connect from both a work machine (say a work laptop), but also personal machines they own (say their personal tablet and laptop). If a business was to buy a Device CAL license, it'd have to buy three licenses for those devices, but with the User CAL, the employee had the flexibility to use any of those devices, while the employer was on the hook for only a single license fee.
But the deal is about to get a little less sweet, as Microsoft has announced that it will be bumping the price of its various User CALs by 15 percent. The price change will take affect Dec. 1. However, large customers that have Enterprise Agreements, Enterprise Subscription, Open Value Subscription, and Open Value Perpetual will be able to hang on to their current pricing until the end of their contract.
Ultimately this seems like a smart move for Microsoft. After all, a 15 percent premium User CAL is still the cheaper option for enterprise customers, if the average user connects with 2 or more devices. But the move could also backfire, forcing some smaller clients to free, open source alternatives. However, making such a switch can be costly and the end result may be inferior software, in some cases.
For those reasons it seems unlikely that Microsoft will see mass defections, even if it may be offering up an irritating change to its business clients.

RE: Typical
You don't appear to be familiar with PostgreSQL. What major vendors DON'T support PostgreSQL these days? Support for PostgreSQL is often better than commercial db support. The Wisconsin state court system switched from Sybase (what SQL server is derived from) to PostgreSQL and the person who made the switch told stories of often needing to wait weeks for Sybase to issue patches to fix problems while just using the *free support* from the PostgreSQL community he was able to get in touch with actual developers and usually have solutions in 24 hours. That's not counting the commercial support from companies like EnterpriseDB. The performance of PostgreSQL was also superior and the feature set so rich they were considering abandoning coding completely in portable standard SQL to take advantage of the extra features.
What exchange is capable of? I know! Creating ridiculous amounts of vendor lock-in it's almost impossible to extricate oneself from? :-) Seriously, it's a simple e-mail server and groupware system with shared email, contacts, address book, etc. Software to replace that is a dime a dozen... Zimbra, eGroupWare, Kolab, etc. If you want to put the pieces together from disparate sources the options are much larger.
You're doing nothing except regurgitating old saws "... support is vastly superior". Those who have actually (attempted to) use MS support beg to differ. There's not even **an open bug tracker** for Windows or Office! If you can find where to report a bug you simply enter your information in without even be asked for an e-mail address for follow-up! It probably gets sent right to /dev/null. Office is so riddled with bugs it's hard to fathom. For a decade statisticians have been warning their colleagues not to rely on Excel for statistical work in numerous published papers. Unlike other software vendors, MS simply refused to fix bugs that they revealed, to the point where one paper even asked the question, "Does Microsoft Bother To Fix Bugs In Excel?" Some Excel functions returned ZERO digits of accuracy! Many of them existed from Excel 97 and only got fixed in Excel 2010! 2010 is much better now (on the functions that have been tested, at least) but still has some issues and the original paper authors still haven't cleared it for serious work. Meanwhile, they've written about open source spreadsheet Gnumeric, whose five or six unpaid volunteers took their list of errors (far less than Excel's) and fixed most of them within a few weeks and the next release of Gnumeric passed their benchmarks with flying colors while it's been a decade-long oddessy for Microsoft to slowly fix the identified problems in Excel (sometimes exchanging one inaccurate algorithm for another inaccurate algorithm). OpenOffice also had issues, but again much less than Excel and the developers were happy to have the problems found and moved to correct them immediately.
I wouldn't let a company that takes 13 years to fix serious bugs (for which optimal algorithm solutions are generally well-known and published in the public domain) get their software anywhere near my company's PCs. Support is NOT vastly superior. That's before you get into the fact that Master Documents in Word has been broken since Word '95 straight through 2010 and large documents will inevitably lead to corruption. And I can also get into what Access users have had to put up with. Or go way back and bring up the phony error messages they used to put in their products that would come up if you were using a non-MS DOS to scare you. No, "superior support" has never been what MS has been known for. I'll take the commercial support offered for open source products by many vendors or even the free support from developers and users over MS any time. The best part with open source is that you can fix non-trivial problems oneself (or pay another firm to do it) without having to wait, hope and pray that Redmond or Cupertino get around to it. Just two days ago I was testing out OpenSUSE 12.2 before upgrading and found an issue where the password was being asked for multiple encrypted partitions at bootup even though it should only ask once because they all use the same password. The boot system employs human-readable scripts - if you can call bash scripts readable :-) - and I was able to find the appropriate one and figure out generally what it did even though I am not a bash programmer and last looked at bash 25 years ago when I got to play around on an old UNIX mainframe at AT&T after school as a kid. I thought I might know what the problem was but not why, cut and pasted a line, added a few more words, rebooted and - voila! It worked! Now I can not only file a bug report but a solution report as well. :-) My first open-source contribution. :-) If it was Windows, I'd have had to file a bug report into the void and if I was lucky wait for Patch Tuesday assuming they considered it a bug and then that they got to it right away. Even if I didn't find a solution (and I'm sure SUSE will implement a slightly cleaner one) since the problem was small I'm sure I would have heard back right away from a developer as it was easily reproducible in a VM and probably even been given the fix to try out/use before it made it into the patches - which DON'T wait for Patch Tuesday before going out.
No, the old saw about support really doesn't apply anymore. I know of one firm that provides paid support for FIVE HUNDRED open source tools from libraries up to applications and OS. I've had no problems relying on open source and its support for small business, and even many large firms today have no problem either... I think I saw something about over 80% of U.S. businesses using at least one open source component in their businesses today. PostgreSQL is used everywhere from pharma giants Genentech and BASF to the U.S. CDC, NWS and state department to Apple, Red Hat, IMDb, Reddit, and at least until MS bought it, Skype.
[Regarding switching the Wisconsin court system to PostgreSQL]:
"We've been very happy with both the performance of the product and the support we have received from the mailing lists. Overall, PostgreSQL has been faster than the commercial product from which we converted. Even more important is the fast response we have had when posting problems to the lists. We have normally had a fix within 24 hours. Frankly, the support has been amazing."

This month we'll finally get our grubby mitts on Deus Ex: Human Revolution, the third entry in the legendary RPG series. In this article we look back to the original Deus Ex - widely regarded as one of the best games ever made - and examine the legacy that Human Revolution must live up to.
You are watching a guard at the entrance to a walled-off compound, learning his routine as you loiter in the shadows nearby. You are thinking about your options.
The obvious choice is to simply take the guy out. You could snipe him from a distance, snuffing him out with a single headshot, but you're worried about the noise that would make. Besides, you're not in the mood for killing someone unless you absolutely have to. You could creep in and use a non-lethal weapon - a taser, tranquilising crossbow, or pepper gas spray - but while these tools are quiet, they're also risky.
The safest approach of all might dispense with combat altogether; you scoped out a back door a few minutes ago, and if you can get past the lock that would afford you a silent way in. So, are you going to look a way to learn the password? Or would you rather hack your way past security? Hell, if you find a chocolate bar and give it to that hungry urchin you met earlier, he might know of a different path in.
In Deus Ex, there's always another way to get things done. The game rarely gives you fewer than three routes into an area of interest, and often you can find the ways that seem to bend or break the rules altogether. In the situation I just gave, you could also climb over the outer wall by grabbing smaller items and dumping them in a big pile - provided, of course, that you had upgraded your lifting abilities. Late in the game you encounter enemies who explode when they die, and if you can be bothered to lure one to the appropriate doorway, you can use their demise to open a frustrating dead-end.
That's why I love Deus Ex: it's a game where you can use a rocket launcher to bypass all that tedious hunting for keys and passwords. It's an idea that seemed incredibly fresh back in 2000, and it's a crying shame that it never became an industry standard. For decades we've been taught that a locked door is a request for patience. "Play properly," it seems to say. "Find the key, and you shall be rewarded." It's a carrot and stick mechanic - but Deus Ex breaks the stick and lets you chomp on you orange prize as soon as you like. Take a jam jar, throw it against the nearest wall, and then use your fingers to scoop the sticky goodness from the resulting glassy mess. That's what it feels like when you blow open a safe in Deus Ex.
But it's not all about locked doors. If anything, Deus Ex is about freedom - both the freedom given to you, the player, and the freedom that's being curtailed by sinister forces of government oppression. From the Majestic 12 to The Illuminati to the Men in Black, the game's plot provides a crash course in 20th Century conspiracy theories. The story ferries you from New York to Hong Kong, from the catacombs beneath Paris to the metal corridors of Area 51. And appropriately enough for a game so concerned with secrets, there's a vast sea of hidden stuff to find at every stop along the way.
For most of the game's duration, the levels in Deus Ex take the form of miniature playgrounds, open maps packed with alternate routes and remote cubby holes. Depending on how you're playing - and how you've decided to upgrade your abilities - you might never stumble across some of these places until your third play-though. There you are, leaping about the rooftops in Hong Kong with your super nanobot-powered legs, and then suddenly you crash through a glass window into an apartment you've never visited before. Snoop about and you'll find that it belongs to a secondary character, their personal emails shedding new light onto their character.

Tuesday, July 2, 2013
The Patriots had their second straight Air it Out championship in sight Saturday but Sumter edged out Fort Dorchester by a single score to claim the 2013 title.
The Patriots' Blue Team and the Gamecocks both started 5-0 in 7-on-7 passing competitions to advance to the Division 1 championship game of Byron Maxwell's Air it Out Passing Tournament held at Fort Dorchester.
Fort Dorchester quarterback Coby Garrett completed nine passes in the finals to five different receivers including two touchdown passes to DeMonte Bailey. But Sumter completed more than a dozen passes and also found the end zone multiple times.
The Patriot defense had four players break up a Sumter pass and nearly made an interception that could have turned the tables on the Gamecocks but that ball fell incomplete.
"These tournaments are good for your skill guys," Patriot coach Steve LaPrad said. "It gives you a chance to see if you have any guys who can catch the ball and gives you a chance to evaluate what kind of job your quarterback is doing throwing the ball. Football is still about blocking and tackling but this helps show you where some of your guys are."
Stratford and Hanahan both went 3-0 in pool play and advanced to the Division 1 semifinals before falling to FD Blue and Sumter, respectively. FD Black, Ashley Ridge Cardinal, West Ashley, Berkeley and Bluffton also competed in the Division 1 bracket.
Wando claimed the Division 2 championship with a win over Palmetto Christian in the finals. James Island and Georgetown advanced to the semifinals of the bracket before falling to Palmetto Christian and Wando, respectively. Other teams that competed in Division 2 included Stall, Porter-Gaud, Ashley Ridge White, Northwoods and Bishop England.
Ashley Ridge Cardinal finished the tournament at 2-2 after being eliminated by FD Blue by an 18-16 score. Ashley Ridge White finished at 1-3 after being eliminated by James Island by a 22-21 score.
Fort Dorchester Black finished at 3-2 after being eliminated by Sumter.

Hey, everyone! I've missed chatting with you every week. It's been a blast shooting season 15 of The Biggest Loser, and I'm so glad we can all get together here to discuss it after each episode airs.
What did you think of Tuesday's season premiere? It was a big change-up, having the trainers part of the casting process, right?! I can tell you, I'm glad that wasn't my decision to make. It must have been so hard to choose the best 15 out of all the heartbreaking stories they heard of people searching for a life transformation. And I know they had so much to consider in their decisions.
I totally appreciated that it seemed to come down to heart, the gut instinct of each trainer, finding people they connected with and people they felt really wanted the chance and were willing to work for it.
Once on the Ranch, some of the contestants immediately resonated with me. David's story of losing his first wife to brain cancer and promising to not leave "her girls" really hurt my heart.
I was also impressed with American Idol winner Ruben Studdard, someone who has such recognition and talent but who has the guts to walk onto the Ranch for the same reason as the other 14 contestants – to lose weight and fight for his health. And he is wiling to do it in such an open, vulnerable way.
And what about Holley? A current Olympic weightlifter coming onto the Ranch because she wants to medal and not just participate in the Olympics is so awesome. She was an immediate favorite on the Ranch with the other contestants as well as with the crew.
Paul Drinkwater / NBC (3)
When we started the weigh-in, I could tell immediately that the contestants were already stronger than when they first walked through the doors. It's amazing how quickly those changes happen with trainers Bob, Jillian and Dolvett in the Biggest Loser gym.
David losing a staggering 38 lbs., Jay and Matt losing 23 lbs. each, Ruben and Rachel each losing 21 lbs., Bobby losing 20 lbs. and Tanya losing 16 lbs. – those are some great first-week numbers! At the end of the day, Dolvett and the red team killed it, losing over 100 lbs. together. But with Jillian using her trainer save option, it was so great to not have to send someone home after only one week together.
Favorite moment of the week: Ruben in the ice bath and then proclaiming to Jillian that he's "bringing the real man back." HA!

The new chief of the Salem Police Department will be announced this week, possibly by Thursday, after an outside agency grades the exams taken Tuesday night by three officers.
High score wins the top job currently held by Chief Bob Floor, who's retiring Feb. 1 after 30 years in law enforcement with the city.
Lt. Dave Casto, Sgt. J.T. Panezott and Sgt. John Scheets all signed up to take the Civil Service exam required for promotion to the position of police chief. All three started with the department in the same six-month period.
Panezott joined the department on July 19, 1989, Scheets joined on Sept. 15, 1989 and Casto joined on Jan. 16, 1990. Floor said all three are good officers who have served with successful careers.
"They're all solid. They're dependable," he said.
He's known all three during his career and put every one of them through their physical agility test when they became Salem Police officers. He said he's just as eager as everyone else to find out which one of them will succeed him.
He said they should know the answer within 48 hours of the test, which is different than when the Salem Civil Service Commission had the sergeants' exam earlier this year. The chief's test was made up by the International Association of Chiefs of Police and will be graded by one of their representatives.
He said nobody local was involved in compiling the questions and nobody local will be grading it.
"There's a whole different set of rules they have to follow for a chief's test," he said.
He wasn't sure how many questions the candidates would have to answer, but said they were multiple choice and covered topics from at least six different study books, dealing with local government, police investigation, Ohio Revised Code, and procedures.
The awarding of the promotion goes strictly by the score on the test.
"We use the written test to make sure there is no room for bias," he said.
Floor had to go through the process when he took a test to become chief, a position he's held since March 31, 2006. His career began as a part-time patrolman in the village of Lisbon before joining the SPD as a full-time patrolman on Jan. 3, 1983. He made sergeant on July 21, 1995 and was promoted to the rank of lieutenant on May 26, 2001.
Once he knows who his successor will be, he'll start showing that person the fine details and teach him the legalities of the job.
Who was eligible to take the test was determined by rank, with all lieutenants getting the first chance to sign up. Since only one of three lieutenants signed up, the test had to be opened up to sergeants to keep it competitive.

The 4 Most Epic Benders Ever Captured by an Arrest Report
#2. Seriously, Though, That's His Beach
It was just another lovely summer day in Long Beach: The sand was warm, the waves were crashing, the Sublime was playing on repeat while men in cargo shorts gazed sternly at skateboards and smoked. The people were relaxed and content -- until a Nissan Maxima came careening through the parking lot, jumped the barrier, and made immediately for the water. The driver, leaning out of his window, yelled "THIS IS MY BEACH!" followed by his own Social Security number. No other words, just "THIS IS MY BEACH GUYS FOR REAL HERE IS MY SSN!" Over and over again, for the entire duration of his short, purposeful commute to the middle of the Pacific Ocean. I'm not sure what the standard protocol for proving beach ownership is -- if there's like a deed, or a little card, or a badge with a picture of you standing on the beach giving a big thumbs-up -- but I have a feeling it's not just frantically shouting your student ID.
After the man carefully parked an economy sedan in the sea, he calmly opened the door, left the vehicle, and began swimming out into the water -- still ceaselessly yelling his presumed property ownership and proof of citizenship to nobody in particular. Nobody was hurt, not even the man himself, as the lifeguards quickly swam out and pulled him back in.
His reaction wasn't noted at the time, but I'm just going to take a guess here and say the guy was mad confused when those Speedo-clad trespassers chased him out into the middle of his pool and forcefully interrupted his afternoon swim.
#1. 127 Hours Is for Pussies; a Man Needs Only 540 Minutes
William Todd is not to be praised. William Todd hurt some folks. William Todd is a bastard. But goddamn, nobody has ever been as high as William Todd.
Todd's spree started, like all good sprees, when he got off a Greyhound bus in Nashville, Tennessee. That's how you know you're in trouble, right there: "Got off the Greyhound in Nashville, Tennessee" is a damn fine start to a heartbroken country song. No story starts "Got off a Greyhound in Nashville, Tennessee" and ends with "won the Nobel prize." Todd stepped off his bus for a nine-hour layover, and instead went on a raging, nonsensical crime spree you'd need some fucked-up mods to replicate in Grand Theft Auto.
First, he "broke into the Slaughterhouse and stole a Taser, revolver, and shotgun."
That's first. That's how it starts. That's just his opening act.
The news story capitalizes that phrase, by the way -- "the Slaughterhouse" -- which makes me think it's the name of a business. Maybe a gun store with a morbid sense of humor. But no, basic Googling says the Slaughterhouse in Nashville, Tennessee, is an annual haunted house containing, for some reason, a Taser, revolver, and shotgun. Apparently Nashville is extremely serious about the authenticity of fear in its holiday events. Well, I should say "was extremely serious." Whatever the Slaughterhouse was, William Todd burned it to the ground. But not before stealing one more thing: a T-shirt. So, just picture everything that happens from this point onward being perpetrated by a man wearing a shirt that says "THE SLAUGHTERHOUSE" in giant bloody letters on the front.
Todd then found a random group of people leaving a bar, whom he Tased, pistol whipped, and robbed. Five entire minutes later, William carjacked a taxi, took it to a Walmart, and bought $200 worth of food. Holy shit, he's operating on video game logic: He was low on health after getting caught in the fire, so he immediately jacked the very first car he found, drove it into a store, ran inside, and bought $200 worth of food to restore some bars.
Todd then broke into a law office, where he pooped on the desks and rubbed it into their law degrees. I don't know what the point of that was, but honestly, I just don't think it ever occurred to him to wipe his ass with anything but the law itself. Todd then wandered around a hotel knocking on doors, pretending to be a housekeeper. A female housekeeper, mind you, funny voice and all. He robbed another couple while crying the entire time. Todd was sobbing, not his victims -- just absolutely weeping into THE SLAUGHTERHOUSE shirt. During all of this, Todd somehow found time to shave his head completely bald, and then ran his stolen taxi into the side of a parking garage, totaling it.
When police finally found William Todd, he was submerged inside a water tank on top of Opryland, just his eyes showing above the waterline.
And now it's worth clarifying that this was not an entire criminal rap sheet, cherry-picking the craziest examples from a few years of depravity. This wasn't a bad month, or an eventful week. Even after all of these crimes, should he have found a paint shop and lost his wanted level, William Todd would have made his bus.
This all happened in a single night. Nine hours. 540 minutes.
You're a dick, William Todd, but let nobody say you're unproductive.

Election Day is hardly over and recriminations are flying within some Republican circles. After singing his praises in October, conservatives are claiming Mitt Romney was not clear in his programs. Moderates, citing the increase in women voters as well as Hispanics and African-Americans gains, are predictably blaming the social conservatives in the Christian Right.
Now all of this can be expected so soon after a defeat. Richard Nixon lost in 1960 to John F Kennedy by 49.7 percent to 49.6 percent, and it was treated as a catastrophe. Nixon, it was argued would never be "top banana," and conservative ideologues argued for a "choice and not a echo." They got it in 1964, putting up Barry Goldwater and losing to Lyndon Johnson by 61 percent to 38 percent Indeed, Kennedy speaking on another matter, after an election said that "victory has a thousand fathers, but defeat is an orphan."
Which should convince Republicans to refrain from Monday morning quarterbacking. It was a narrow defeat popularly and substantial electorally, but not massive. Perhaps more disturbing is the Republicans essentially gave Democrats some Senate seats because some candidates like Todd Akin and Richard Murdock could not resist giving gratuitous anatomy lessons. The Democratic gains in the Senate can, in the main, be charged to the Tea Party.

But to harp on the point could be destructive. Despite its defects, the Tea Party added life to the Republican coalition. Uniting Libertarians and social conservatives is no mean feat. Taking the House in 2010 was largely a Tea Party victory, and to slam them for all that is wrong is misguided and self-destructive. Republicans have lacked leadership at the top since Ronald Reagan articulated a convincing vision of a smaller but more effective government. His successors have run on a mish-mash of emotional stances and called it Conservatism. Had the Republicans chosen better, the Tea Party would not be necessary.
Romney's campaign showed all the contradictions of the GOP. After being pasted in South Carolina by Newt Gingrich, Romney accelerated his drift to the right. He was not particularly convincing because he had a devil of a time defeating Rick Santorum. He then picked Paul Ryan to once more prove his bonafides, only to discover it was not enough to defeat President Barack Obama. So in October, he rediscovered Massachusetts Mitt, making a run that was too late.
With the results showing Romney doing badly in urban battleground states, the facile judgment that Republicans are not moderate enough is temporarily in the ascendance. But the main problem may be that Republicans have nominated candidates who lack a strong sense of who they are and what they believe. Reagan was denied nomination in 1968 and 1976 because he seemed unelectable. When he finally received the nomination in 1980, some persisted in believing the Californian a prime candidate for defeat. In November he proved his detractors wrong.
Reagan, unlike his successors, ran positive campaigns that spelled out the perils of big government. However he did not believe in no government. Usually his opponents in both the Republican and Democratic parties tried to brand him a radical or heartless and dangerous. He explained his views clearly, and he won. Because his convictions were firm and he was reasonably principled, the public usually approved. George H.W. Bush, the younger Bush, Bob Dole, John McCain and Romney lacked the ability to spell out exactly what they were about, and they either suffered defeat or left uncertain legacies.
Conservatives could easily point out that Romney did not charge up his base. Indeed, in some states, the right picked up some state Legislatures. For the GOP to retake the White House, they should take Goldwater's advice in 1960 to "grow up" and "go to work."

NIAGARA FALLS – Police have issued an arrest warrant for a convicted drug dealer in the shooting two weeks ago of a 2-year-old girl in front of Hometown Grocery.
Willie R. Scott Jr., 32, of LaSalle Avenue, also known "Boo" and "Tony," is considered armed and dangerous, city police said. He is 5 feet, 9 inches tall and weighs 265 pounds, according to detectives.
Investigators believe Scott meant to shoot a man sitting in the car with the little girl but instead struck the child.
They ask anyone with information to call 911, the Criminal Investigation Bureau at 286-4553 or the main police desk at 286-4711.
Police responded to a call of shots fired Nov. 27 and found J'raeona Moore had been shot in the face in front of the market on Pierce Avenue. J'raeona was lucky to be alive, according to doctors at Women & Children's Hospital who removed a bullet from the right side of her face.
The bullet lodged near the little girl's right cheek, and a bullet fragment was found on the left side of her face, according to police.
"Luckily, it was a few inches away from her brain," said her mother, Sha'Ronda Platt, as her daughter recovered shortly after the shooting. "She has no damage to her brain, and I am thankful for that."
The girl continues to recover in the hospital. A fund has been set up to cover her medical costs; more information can be found at www.gofundme.com/ helpthebaby.
City Police Capt. William M. Thomson, chief of detectives, said the girl was seated in the back seat of the parked car when she was shot. He said an unknown suspect or suspects drove by the Hometown Market and fired several shots at the car, one of which went through the door of the car, while J'raeona was in the back seat.
Platt said she had just gone inside the store to pick up a few things, leaving her daughter in the car with a male friend, who police believe was the intended target.
Police have not named the male friend.
Scott is known to police and has served time in prison for drug sales and possession.
In 2008, he was called a second-level supplier to former city cocaine kingpin David A. Phelps and pleaded guilty to third-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance in Niagara County Court. He was sent to state prison and released on parole in August 2010, according to state corrections records.
Police reported another drive-by shooting related to the case last week in which an unknown person shot at a house on LaSalle Avenue.
They have not said how that case might be related, but they said none of the toddler's family or friends were targeted.
Two bullets were found lodged in the house after the shooting, one of them in an inside wall. No injures were reported.

What would you do if the cost of childcare for your family was nearly as much or even more than you actually earn?
That is a question many families must face. Despite working multiple jobs to make ends meet, some families must choose between working and having a parent stay home because childcare is more than they can afford.
"We feel strongly that working parents are an essential part of our community by being able to provide for their families and paying taxes through the workplace, they are contributing to society and our local economy," explained Lycoming County United Way executive director Scott N. Lowery. "We would not want a family to feel they must choose for a parent to stay home because they cannot afford childcare so LCUW allocated $55,000 in funding this year to subsidize scholarships for families on a sliding scale at the YMCA."
"By making quality child care services available to families regardless of their ability to pay, we are giving the children the opportunity to develop social skills as well as academic skills that are necessary for future success," said Carolyn Hawk, child care director at the YMCA. "All of our child care programs utilize developmentally appropriate curriculums that enhance this development."
Child care programs at the Y serve children 6 weeks old through 12 years old.
One family affected by the United Way scholarships includes a father who works full time at a local manufacturing facility and a mother who works part-time at a grocery store and attends college part-time. Their two children, ages 2 and 4, thrive at the Y's childcare facility.
"I want to be able to get a better job so I am working on my associate's degree," the mother said. "We are hard workers and want to provide for our family but childcare costs for two add up. We are very appreciative for the support of United Way and the Y so we can continue to improve our lives. Someday, I look forward to being able to help others in the way we are being helped now."
In addition to traditional families, the Y reports seeing more cases of grandparents raising the children in recent years.
Last year two grandmothers approached the director of one of the Y's childcare centers for help. The two women had just obtained shared custody of their two grandchildren, a toddler and an infant, and needed help paying for daycare.
"We both have jobs but we could not afford full-time tuition for them. We were so grateful when we learned the YMCA could help through United Way funds and we could keep our jobs," said one of the grandmothers.
The River Valley Regional YMCA is the largest child care provider in Lycoming County, according to Hawk.
"We know in tough economic times like these, families need us more than ever to keep them as a productive part of our economy," said Hawk. "Without these services there would be a detrimental slide to the well-being of our children and ultimately our community."
"We are happy to be able to fund this program at the YMCA because it makes a genuine difference in the lives of not only the children and their early childhood education, but also strengthens the overall family unit and their well-being," concluded Lowery. "When parents work, they earn needed income, contribute to the overall community economy, and gain a sense of self-worth and satisfaction that is important in the families' everyday lives."

This technology provides our radiologists with the newest advancements in medical imaging and is designed to assist in minimizing false negative readings during mammogram screenings.
Breast Ultrasound
An ultrasound is a painless test that uses sound waves to image the body without using radiation. It is not meant to replace a mammogram, but is used to further evaluate an abnormality.
These procedures utilize a special needle to take a sample of abnormal tissue in a breast.
The Breast Center at Memorial Hospital now offers Dexa scanning. A Dexa study is a painless test that shows the level of bone density in the spine, hips and /or wrist to look for osteoporosis.
There is no breast cancer in my family, so do I have to worry?
70% of all women who get breast cancer have absolutely no risk factors. The bottom line is that all women are at risk for breast cancer.
I don't have the money for this test. How can I afford it?
Pennsylvania offers programs for women to receive free or low cost mammograms.Memorial Hospital has a financial assistance program for those in need. For more information, please call 717-849-5420.
At my age, is it necessary to check my breasts? Am I too old to get breast cancer?
The risk of breast cancer increases with age, so the older you get the more chance you have of developing breast cancer. Unfortunately, the incidence of breast cancer is also increasing in younger women. That is why screening should begin at 40. In women of all ages the chance of curing breast cancer, if detected early, is high.
I've had one mammogram and everything was fine, so why do I need another one?
The purpose of regular mammograms is to detect new abnormalities at an early stage, while the chance of curing breast cancer is high.
Get a routine mammogram.
The American Cancer Society recommends that women have a baseline screening mammogram between the ages of 35 and 40 and receive annual mammograms beginning at age 40. Women under 40 with either a family history of breast cancer or other concerns about their personal risk should consult their physician about when to begin mammography.
See your physician on a regular basis.
A clinical breast exam should be part of your routine check-up. Beginning at age 20, women should have a breast exam once every two to three years. Women age 40 and older should have one every year.
Perform breast self-exams once a month.
Ask your physician for more information about what to do during a self-exam. If you find something unusual during a self-exam, contact your physician for further evaluation.

They can tell the difference between grapple and snizzle.
They brave the biting cold to record the snowfall in the teeth of a 50-mph wind.
They run out into a hailstorm to measure the biggest chunk of ice.
These are weather spotters, the unpaid men and women the National Weather Service counts on to tell them what is actually happening, and radar just doesn't cut it.
"When I see a good storm coming on the radar, I'm outside filming the clouds," explained Lori Dankert of Perrysburg, a 19-year veteran spotter for the weather service in northwestern Cattaraugus County. "It makes you feel like you're helping, and it makes you feel like you're involved."
Spotter Devin Sobieraj made an early morning check on his own snowfall gauge in Orchard Park last week, then jumped in his car and took a three-hour jaunt to the Tug Hill Plateau northeast of Syracuse just to take some pictures of the massive lake-effect storm that left snow piles creeping toward the tops of power lines.
"Tons of snow," Sobieraj told a reporter by phone from a Thruway rest stop. "I got some awesome pictures."
It's that kind of spirit that the weather service hopes to harness during its ongoing regionwide recruitment effort to increase the numbers of its volunteer weather "SkyWarn" spotters across Buffalo Niagara.
"There are a lot of things the radar can and cannot tell us," Judith M. Levan, who coordinates warning signals for the weather service's Buffalo office, told trainees during a recent two-hour session at Kenmore West High School. "That's why I need you guys. I'm not looking at the surface; you guys are."
With an average of 10,000 thunderstorms, 5,000 floods, 1,200 tornadoes and two "land-falling" hurricanes hitting the country each year, the United States "is the most severe-weather-prone country in the world," Levan said.
And each year, that weather causes about 500 deaths and $14 billion in damage.
Yes, radar helps. But it takes more to track those storms.
"We have a lot of fancy equipment, but there isn't anything we can do to replace the trained spotter on the ground," Levan said. "We see the value of having spotters out there giving us reports."
Looking for an enemy
Spotters are the battlefield scouts surveying the physical landscape for an enemy: life-threatening weather.
Sobieraj, an Erie Community College student who will pursue a degree in meteorology at SUNY Oswego, said the proudest moment of his five years as a spotter came in early December 2010 when a nasty lake-effect storm blitzed the region, turning portions of the New York State Thruway from Cheektowaga to Westfield into a virtual parking lot.
In West Seneca, the weather service determined 3-4 inches of snow was falling per hour during that storm.
But the information Sobieraj provided from the ground aided meteorologists in tailoring their forecasts.
"We had no snow," said Sobieraj, who lived in Amherst at the time. "Knowing how little snow I got in Amherst helped them determine where they would issue warnings in their text forecast."
Dankert, the spotter in Perrysburg, has seen many storms: lake-effect snowstorms blowing in off Lake Erie in the winter, wind and rain storms during the summer. Rotating cloud formations. Toppled trees. Ice storms.
The one she'll never forget – nor will the village of Gowanda – was the flood of August 2009.
"There was lightning that was nonstop. It was like flash, flash, flash. It looked like daytime" in the middle of the night, Dankert recalled. "In between my basement flooding, I went out and measured my rain."
At one point, she slipped and found herself "chest high in water." Six inches of rain had fallen in about 90 minutes.
Later, when Dankert called the weather service to report the totals, there was disbelief.
"Are you sure you got that much?" the meteorologist asked.
Providing 'ground truth'
Meteorologists can't rely exclusively on radar estimates, so they turn to people like Dankert and Sobieraj for what they like to call "ground truth."
"It's pretty important. If it wasn't for us, it would be hard for the National Weather Service to make warnings to the general public," Sobieraj said. "If there isn't any 'ground truth' to it, it's hard for them to get that information."
Added Dankert: "It's awesome to know as a spotter that you can give your reports to the weather service, and you can warn the people that might possibly get that severe storm or heavy snow or whatever Mother Nature brings. It's helping your community and helping the weather service warn those ahead of a storm."
Even so, the flow of information is often two-way.
Like the time a tornado was forming just southwest of Dankert's Perrysburg house – where she keeps a backyard weather station.
Her phone rang with a personal weather warning from a live meteorologist. "They told me to get in my basement. I was outside taking pictures of the clouds," she said. "It's pretty cool to have the inside scoop."
The weather service's "SkyWarn" program, which consists of trained weather spotters, was developed in the 1960s. Spotters are charged with providing "reports of severe and hazardous weather to help meteorologists make life-saving warning decisions."
For instance, Levan explained that the average lead time between when a severe thunderstorm warning is issued and when it strikes is about 15 to 20 minutes. For a tornado, it's 10 minutes or less.
Learning to spot disaster
Every moment counts.
That's why spotters are trained in identifying cloud types and formations and the atmospheric ingredients necessary to generate severe storms that can spawn life-threatening conditions.
Spotter trainees learn the life cycles of thunderstorms – how they're born and why they die. They're instructed on the structure of the "main storm tower," how to look and identify the updrafts that feed the storm's energy and learn to distinguish the differences between rotating columns of air that spawn tornadoes and decoy "scud clouds."
And they're encouraged to keep the weather service informed of what they're observing. Levan said the weather service relies on its spotters to provide reports on funnel or wall clouds, tornadoes or waterspouts, torrential rains, heavy snow, the presence or size of hail, wind damage, flooding or any weather-related injuries or deaths.
"Don't assume we know what's happening," Levan told trainees at a recent session.
Though the training is open to anyone with an "interest in the weather," many of the spotters have another hobby – amateur radio.
"I can describe to them firsthand what is going on," said Stu Scott, an amateur radio enthusiast who recently renewed his training as a weather service spotter, something he's been doing for four to five years.
In the event of a weather emergency, say a severe thunderstorm, freezing rain or tornado touchdown, amateur radio operators link up with the weather service's band and instantly transmit information that could lead to the issuance of a severe weather warning. That could save lives.
Information, instant communication and unfailing power makes emergency weather reporting a natural attraction to amateur radio operators, according to Robert Fleischauer, the president of the Amateur Radio Association of the Tonawandas, who also serves with the North Tonawanda Fire Police and Emergency Operations Center.
"We do have two-way communication. We can get a hold of (the weather service) easily, and that information is logged in and passed on," said Fleischauer, who recalled that amateur radio operators were called into duty as essential personnel during the October Surprise snowstorm of 2006.
Power was out for days – even weeks – in some parts of the Tonawandas back then, so amateur radio enthusiasts were brought down to the Emergency Operations Center at the North Tonawanda Fire Hall, where they helped relay information back and forth about road conditions, residents in peril and other hazards.

"It is so difficult to balance celebrity, being young and having this huge responsibility," Givens, 44, told PEOPLE Thursday at Marshall's "Shop Til It Stops" event in New York City's Union Square to kick off Domestic Violence Awareness Month. "I was a baby. So I understand the pressure that Rihanna feels to speak out, especially when that camera is on you."
Givens says Rihanna – who hasn't publicly commented on her abuse by singer Chris Brown – will find her way. "You do need time to figure your life out," Givens says. "I do feel that if she speaks out about it people will listen to her. But she is young and I can imagine the pain and the confusion she is going through."
Givens said Rihanna should take as much time as she needs to sort it out. Brown assaulted the singer in February, and was sentenced to six months of community labor.
"She has every right to take all the time she needs. It is very confusing because of what we do [perform], you feel that your life belongs to a lot of people but your life belongs to you."
Time Does HealIn 1988, Givens, then 23, and a star of the sitcom Head of the Class, married Tyson. Less than a year later she filed for divorce, alleging that he had physically abused her. Though she was quickly branded a "gold digger" and the "Most Hated Woman in America" in the press, Givens persevered. She has become an advocate for the National Domestic Violence Hotline and travels across the country speaking about the issue.
"People ask me why I do this, but I have gone through it and when I talk about it, I feel better," she says.
The actress says she hopes more men to speak out on the domestic violence issue, and hails Jay–Z for speaking out after Brown attacked Rihanna.
"I feel like Jay-Z really seemed to take a stand on Rihanna's behalf. I just love that," says Givens. "I feel that one of the things that will help this domestic violence movement is when more men step up."
As part of Thursday's event, the mother of two boys unveiled an exhibit honoring those who take a stand against domestic violence. It features information about the cause and messages of support from celebrities like Jennifer Love Hewitt, Rosie Perez, Martina McBride and Chaka Khan.
"One day very soon everybody will be on board supporting this cause and taking a stand against domestic violence," said the actress, who sported a purple ring in honor of the cause.
Givens says she is currently working on her second book and about to start work on a film in New York. She says time does heal and that her faith, family and yoga have helped her.
"I think a difficult time made me the person I am today," she says. "I mean I am not perfect. But it did make me the woman I am."
Givens will also miss her ex-husband's appearance Monday on Oprah. She's headed to the Caribbean with another pretty special man in her life. "I will not be watching," she says. "I am going to be taking my oldest son and 10 of his friends on a cruise to the Bahamas."

Shannon believes that things happen for a reason. But she learned the hard way that the reasons for the setbacks in life often aren't revealed until much later.
When she found herself pregnant at 19, Shannon did not have a job or a home. Coming from what she called a dysfunctional home, she hadn't lived with her family for a few years.
"My three older sisters had all also had babies as teenagers and my brother had served serious jail time," Shannon said. "Obviously, I didn't learn from their mistakes but rather followed in their footsteps."
What happened next changed the course of Shannon's life. She got a call from Susquehanna Health's Nurse-Family Partnership, a community health program that provides guidance to women who are pregnant with their first child. The mother is paired with a registered nurse early in her pregnancy and receives home visits throughout the remainder of the pregnancy and through the child's second birthday.
Cindy helped Shannon find public housing, obtain health insurance, search for a job, gather baby items and provided a listening ear.
"I loved that she listened to me and took me seriously, unlike the not-so-good people I had surrounded myself with at that point in my life," Shannon said.
Cindy encouraged Shannon to open a new chapter in her life. When her daughter was just 5 months old, she began taking paralegal courses at Pennsylvania College of Technology. Shannon felt an instant connection to the intricacies of the law and what it represents in society. This, she said, laid the foundation for her desire to continue to study and practice law.
In 2006, the year her time with Nurse Family Partnership came to an end, Shannon earned an associate's degree. Because of that degree, Shannon knew she no longer could receive public assistance. That same year, she also learned she was pregnant with her second child.
She found a paralegal position in Williamsport with meager pay. The job caused her to lose even more financial assistance and she realized then that she would need to further her education if she wanted to support her children.
Shannon also met her fiance in 2006. Much like the encouragement from Cindy, Shannon found a rejuvenated sense of determination when Eric pushed her to enroll in school.
In 2009, she trained to become a Court Appointed Special Advocate of Lycoming County.
"These organizations make a difference in children's lives and are quite simply investing in the future of this country," Shannon said. "I decided that, whenever possible, I would use my knowledge to advocate for children in one way or another."
And finally - eight years after starting school -Shannon earned a bachelor's degree in paralegal studies with minors in business administration and management, cum laude. Just a few weeks ago, she was accepted to Penn State Dickenson School of Law with a $60,000 scholarship.
"There, I will focus on child advocacy," Shannon said. "I now have three daughters. They are 9, 6 and 2. I'm glad that I am setting the example for them that anything, and I mean anything, is possible."
Cindy, she said, is owed much of her gratitude.
"She didn't only change my life, but she changed my childrens' lives, and perhaps the lives of children that I will be able to help in my career," Shannon said. "She set the ball rolling the other way. I can say without hesitation that the Nurse Family Partnership is an invaluable resource, which so many people desperately need."
Lycoming County United Way supports Nurse Family Partnership each year through its annual campaign. Contributions from community members help nurture the lives of first-time mothers who have nowhere else to turn. With your help, we can redirect the lives of women who may find themselves on the road to nowhere.
Please consider giving to Lycoming County United Way campaign this year. The affects of your donation reach neighbors in your community just like Shannon, who may find themselves facing a hardship. For more information, visit www.lcuw.org.

I'm a week or so removed from the D3 scene. Sorry for the absence but it's make it or break it for some teams starting now. Conference tournaments are underway and will be finished real soon. I believe that the NCAA Selection show is this Sunday 5/3.
Thanks to all for positive and or critical feedback on the All-Decade team. Kreiger was a definite miss on my part and deserves a nod. If I can create a user poll for this team I think I will do that so you all can vote on the Position Players of the Decade and then on a Player of the Decade.
So back to D3land and the big show. I'm a fan of the AQ as it makes conference play that more important. We saw that first hand this year in the CAC as Stevenson and St. Mary's defeated Salisbury and almost had them sitting at home while everyone went to the dance.
We have one lock in Salisbury for pounding #1 at the time Stevenson two weeks ago. No need to worry, the Mustangs will get invited and should be the #2 in the South behind undefeated Roanoke…assuming they win the ODAC.
This week, we have some match ups that will include some fierce inter-conference rivalries. At stake, a ticket to the dance!
