Rated 5 out of 5 by Iloo Exactly what I needed I love hardwood floors and hate wall to wall carpeting . But I feel you need area rugs to make a house welcoming and feel like a home.This rug is perfect in my kitchen. I have the 3x5 black in front of my stove. It has the great quality and low profile I want. But also a unique feature in that it has a fun pattern and multiple colors that comes very close to blending as a neutral . September 16, 2015

Preakness beefs up security, bans back packs
- At Baltimore, Preakness officials have toughened security guidelines for the Triple Crown race after the bombings at the Boston Marathon.
Back backs and duffel bags will be prohibited from the infield for the first time. Only clear coolers will be allowed in the building or the infield, and the new policy also forbids laser lights and pointers.
The security measures will be in effect on the day of the Preakness, May 18, and Black-Eyed Susan day, May 17. More than 100,000 fans have attended the Preakness in 10 of the last 12 years.
The Maryland Jockey Club installed the policy after consulting with law enforcement and public safety officials.
Jockey Club president Tom Chuckas said, "These changes will address concerns fans may have following the Boston tragedies."

The 7-month-old prince is set to fly halfway around the world and join his parents, Prince William and Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, in New Zealand and Australia for his first royal engagements, enabling fans to see him up close for the first time since his christening in October.
While it was believed George would join his parents for the three-week trip, his accompanying them was only confirmed this weekend, once they were sure they were comfortable with the arrangements.
"It is entirely their own decision," said William's private secretary, Miguel Head. "The times he may join them [on engagements] is driven by the same desire – that nothing other than their own considerations and comfort will be taken into account."
The tour begins in Wellington, New Zealand, on April 7 and ends in Canberra, Australia, on the 25th.
Before travel arrangements could be finalized, the couple had to seek permission from the Queen for William and his son to travel together – normally, heirs don't travel long distances together on the same aircraft. William set the precedent himself in 1983, when he was 9 months old and joined his parents, Charles and Diana, on a trip Down Under.
Great thought has gone into planning the trip around the needs of baby George, who will have an as-yet-unnamed nanny traveling with him.
Also in the entourage: William and Kate's private secretaries, three press spokespeople, a tour secretary, a personal assistant (though this, it is stressed, is not a dresser), a hairdresser, and an orderly to manage logistics. Sir David Manning, a former diplomat and an adviser to the couple, will also accompany them.
The Baby Stays PutThe palace has a "hub and spoke" plan, with the royals basing themselves in three places – Wellington, New Zealand, and Sydney and Canberra in Australia. William, 31, and Kate, 32, will head out on their engagements and return to their son at night.
"That's so that Prince George doesn't have to move around, and the couple can still cover as much of the country and see as any people as they can," an aide says.
It will be Kate's first time in those countries, something she is excited about, aides say. William "is in no doubt that his wife will fall in love with New Zealand and Australia every bit as much as he did some years ago," Head says.
The flight from London to Wellington takes about 23 hours, and while locals will get their first glimpse of George when he and his parents walk off the plane on arrival, the royals are giving themselves a day to get over the 11,000-mile flight and will stay at a private residence outside of the New Zealand capital.
Two days later, after they've spent family time together, William and Kate will attend a garden party hosted by the governor-general of New Zealand to celebrate the Plunket group, a national organization that provides healthcare to parents and their babies.
Calling it "a nice relaxed informal occasion," Head adds that there is a possibility that Prince George will attend the event.
Aides say "it's hoped" George will also appear at an engagement in Australia with his parents. An ideal time would be when Kate and William visit Taronga Zoo in Sydney on April 21, Easter Sunday, where an enclosure for bilbies (an endangered marsupial) will be named after Prince George.
Also on William and Kate's full schedule are attending swanky evening events, sailing on Auckland harbor and visiting spectacular Uluru, in the heart of Australia.

A bill pre-filed today in the S.C. House of Representatives would amend South Carolina's Freedom of Information Act to make government much more transparent and responsive.
This is the second attempt by Rep. Bill Taylor (R-Aiken) to reform the FOIA. Last spring his similar bill won approval in the House 101-1, but stalled in the State Senate in the final days of the legislative session.
This is about opening up government to the citizens who pay for it; they have a right to know what their government is doing, said Taylor.
Loopholes in the current FOIA allow state agencies, school districts, towns, cities and other government entities to drag their feet on requests, sometimes for months on end.
A law that is not enforceable is not a law at all," said Rep. Taylor. There is additional teeth in the bill so if citizens seeking information from government feel they are getting stonewalled they can seek immediate relief in Magistrates Court rather than waiting many months or more to have their grievances heard in Circuit Court, Taylor said. Magistrates would be able to order the government unit to comply and would be able to fine those responsible for not complying with the FOIA to be in civil contempt.
Bill Rogers, executive director of the S.C. Press Association, lauded the bill for adding considerable heft to the FOIA. A major weakness in our law is enforcement, and this change would make it much easier for a citizen to get a public record without the expense of hiring a lawyer, he said. The bill will also prohibit the exorbitant fees some agencies charge for copies of public records.
The key provisions of H. 3163 would:
Cut the length of time from 15 calendar days to 7 days to initially notify a person if their FOI request can be met.
Cut compliance time from 30 business days to 30 calendar days.
Prohibit state and local entities from charging fees for staff time spent complying with FOIA requests.
Allow state and local government entities to charge only prevailing commercial rates for copying records.
Disallow charging for documents available in digital format.
Increase fines for FOIA violations from $100 to $500 (1st violation), $200 to $1,000 (2nd violation) and $300 to $1,500 (3rd violation).
Allow for Magistrates to provide immediate legal relief and enforcement who could hold individuals in government in civil contempt for failing to comply with the FOIA requests.
This legislation monumentally strengthens South Carolina's open-government law by not allowing government officials to hit FOIA requestors with large, punitive research and copying fees which have the practical effect of stymieing transparency, said Rep. Taylor.
USC law professor and FOIA expert Jay Bender agrees. In response to this legislation several government-funded special interest groups will complain about the cost of making public records public. That argument is fraudulent. If the General Assembly has found, as it has, that it is vital in a democratic society that public business be performed in an open and public manner, it is incumbent on public bodies to anticipate requests for records and budget and staff for a timely response. That is the price of democracy.
Rogers said grassroots support is needed to move this bill forward. Passage of this important legislation needs to be a grassroots effort. Every citizen should demand open and transparent government.

The myth that ate West Virginia
June 29, 2013
The 18th century Anglican Bishop George Berkeley is best remembered for his theory of "immaterialism," which held that the physical universe is merely a contrivance of our minds....
Well, Minor, nice to see your ignorance is consistent (a play on the famous phrase "a foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds," in case you miss the reference).
How about the idea that state leaders should be trying to figure out alternative employment for "someone with little education," to use your words? How about the school systems actually trying to provide more than a "little education?"
And instead of apparently disparaging newcomers to WV - at least I think that's what you were arguing, though it's so badly written I can't be sure - why not point your rhetorical popgun at the out-of-state companies that are exploiting us?

The deputy coroner investigating the deaths of two Gallitzin men Saturday afternoon is awaiting test results from autopsies done Sunday to rule on a cause.
"I think we'll find the cause in the toxicology results," said Pete Long, in connection with the deaths of James F. Flaugh, 33, and Ryan J. Louttit, 22, whose bodies were found in Flaugh's house on Forest Street.
The results will not be available for several weeks, Long predicted.
There was no outward sign of trauma and no indication of anything like carbon monoxide poisoning form a faulty furnace, he said.
But there were a multitude of prescribed medications in the house, according to Long.
Investigators will be trying to sort out which were prescribed to whom, he said.
No illegal drug paraphernalia was seized, he said.
The situation "may point" to accidental death, he said.
One victim's body was found in the living room and one in the bathroom, Long said.
Flaugh's father found the bodies when he couldn't make contact with his son, Long said.
Louttit was a friend, he said.
"JR" Flaugh was a "great father" to his nine-year-old identical twin daughters, said their mother, Danyelle Thompson, who was with Flaugh for five years, ending nine years ago.
Flaugh took the kids to Slinky Action Zone, to the park and out for Chinese food, got them movies for his custody weekends and even for weekends they spent with her, Thompson said.
"Anything they wanted to do, he would do with them," she said.
When she and Flaugh were together, they'd play touch football with friends at Muleshoe trailer court, she said.
"Me and him had our issues, but he was always there for the kids and always there for me," she said.
He sometimes texted her in the mornings, saying "hope you have a good day," she said.
He'd been off work for five years after a car crash that damaged his ankle, she said.
Before that, he'd worked as a security guard, she said.
He grew up in the Duncansville area and went to Hollidaysburg High School, she said.
She didn't know Louttit well, but her kids said he was "a really good friend of their dad's and nice to them," Thompson said.
The kids understand what happened and are going "in spurts" - fine at times, "then it hits them," Thompson said.
"They want their dad back," she said.

Research Summary
Our laboratory is interested in understanding how neural circuits form and function to elicit appropriate behavior, and how they can be modified by experience. Orderly and specific patterns of neuronal wiring are critical to trigger coherent responses to sensory inputs. Conversely, mistakes in connectivity may lead to altered behaviors observed in disorders such as autism or schizophrenia. It is therefore essential to learn how neurons choose synaptic partners as they "wire up" the developing brain and maintain such connections throughout life. To study mechanisms of neuronal wiring, we have focused on the visual system. The success of our research will provide novel insights into the cellular basis of visual perception and will allow to generate new methods to examine neural circuitry in the normal brain and in animal models of of neurological and psychiatric diseases.
Specialized Terms: Neuroscience; Development; Visual system; Neural circuits; Transgenic approaches; Direction selectivity
Extensive Research Description
Our current research involves both retina (light-sensitive layer of eye) and brain targets: 1) Retina project includes investigating how retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) acquire specific morphological structure during development and how they eventually recognize distinct visual cues (e.g. color, motion). We are examining potential effects of overexpression and knock-out of candidate genes on structural development and functional specification of distinct subsets of RGCs that may lead to alteration in visual perception. 2) Brain project focuses on investigating how distinct visual information from the retina - perceived by different types of RGCs - is processed in the brain. Studies include the search of brain neurons receiving specific visual cues (e.g. direction selectivity) from the retina and examination of development of unique connections between the retina and the brain.

Police asked the complainant why she thought a loan company would be contacting her and she said her brother had taken out a loan in her name from CashNet USA and she believes he owes them money. He has a joint account in which he overdrew multiple times and the loan he took out was from that account. She advised that she helps her brother out with his disability checks and this is how she believes her brother got all of her information. She advised that she contacted CashNet and they said they would leave her alone and try to locate her brother to pay back the loan. A phone number for CashNet USA did not match number on her cell phone and after looking it up on the Internet it appeared the number is a scam and that they call people and threaten them in exchange for personal information. The complainant was advised to ignore the call and that it was more than likely a scam.

Services for Murray Yosim, who owned and operated Bernstone's Cigar Store for 35 years, were held Sunday in Amherst Memorial Chapel, Getzville.
Mr. Yosim died Friday in Millard Fillmore Suburban Hospital, Amherst, after a brief illness. He was 91.
Bernstone's Cigar Store at Main and Swan streets was a mecca for tobacco connoisseurs who were looking for that special cigar, pipe or tobacco blend, according to his daughter Ronna Kluger of Toronto.
"It was the go-to place in Buffalo if you wanted a quality pipe or cigar," said Kluger. "His store remained open and thriving during the building of the NFTA Light Rail Rapid Transit."
Mr. Yosim blended his own tobacco and had an extensive pipe collection, recalled Kluger.
Mr. Yosim, who lived in Williamsville for almost 40 years, was a member of Temple Beth Zion.
Survivors include his wife, the former Adelle Newman; two daughters, Kluger and Pamela Yosim; and a sister, Claire Kay.

NASA'S Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) is one of the world's primary sources for climate data. GISS issues regular updates on world temperatures based on their analysis of temperature readings from thousands of monitoring stations over the globe.
GISS' most recent data release originally reported last October as being extraordinarily warm-- a full 0.78C above normal. This would have made it the warmest October on record; a huge increase over the previous month's data.
Those results set off alarm bells with Steve McIntyre and his gang of Baker Street irregulars at Climateaudit.org. They noted that NASA's data didn't agree at all with the satellite temperature record, which showed October to be very mild, continuing the same trend of slight cooling that has persisted since 1998. So they dug a little deeper.
McIntyre, the same man who found errors last year in GISS's US temperature record, quickly noted that most of the temperature increase was coming from Russia. A chart of world temperatures showed that in October, most of Russia, the largest nation on Earth, was not only registering hot, but literally off the scale. Yet anecdotal reports were suggesting that worldwide, October was actually slightly colder than normal. Could there be another error in GISS's data?
An alert reader on McIntyre's blog revealed that there was a very large problem. Looking at the actual readings from individual stations in Russia showed a curious anomaly. The locations had all been assigned the exact temperatures from a month earlier-- the much warmer month of September. Russia cools very rapidly in the fall months, so recycling the data from the earlier month had led to a massive temperature increase.
A few locations in Ireland were also found to be using September data.
Steve McIntyre informed GISS of the error by email. According to McIntyre, there was no response, but within "about an hour", GISS pulled down the erroneous data, citing a "mishap" and pointing the finger of blame upstream to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Adminstration (NOAA).
NOAA's Deputy Director of Communications, Scott Smullens, tells DailyTech that NOAA is responsible only for temperature readings in the US, not those in other nations.
The error not only affected October data, but due to the complex algorithm GISS uses to convert actual temperature readings into their output results, altered the previously published values for several other months as well. The values for August 2008, for instance, changed by 0.11C and the global anomaly as far back as 2005 increased by a hundredth of a degree.
GISS is run by Dr. James Hansen, a strident global warming advocate who has accused oil companies of "crimes against humanity". Hansen recently made headlines when he travelled to London to testify on behalf of a group of environmentalists who had damaged a coal plant in protest against global warming. Hansen also serves as science advisor to Al Gore.
Dr. Hansen could not be reached for comment.

The Buffalo Board of Education voted unanimously Wednesday to delay a major merger of its football program until at least 2014-15.
Athletic Director Aubrey T. Lloyd III recommended two weeks ago that the district merge its eight football teams into four in 2013-14, saying it would make the city's teams more competitive.
But after talking to coaches, parents, athletes and various people in the community in the past week or so, he said, he realized such a change requires more time.
"I learned a lot about Buffalo," said Lloyd, a native of Syracuse who first came to Buffalo about 19 years ago. "You really have to vet this out in the community."
Rather than consolidating to four teams – one in each quadrant of the city – in the next school year, the district instead will downsize from eight to seven teams, at Lloyd's recommendation. International Prep's team will merge with Riverside for the coming fall season.
This past August, 18 athletes were playing on International Prep's team; by the end of the season, there remained only 16 – the minimum number required by state regulations, Lloyd said. Athletes from International Prep this fall will be able to play for the Riverside Frontiers, which will retain its name and continue to play at Riverside's renovated field.
After moving to seven teams, the district will have more time to study a consolidation to four, he said.
"It's a big task. We have to think about new uniforms, new names for the teams," Lloyd said. "This would give us time to think this through more thoroughly and come up with a good plan."
Board members thanked Lloyd for altering his original recommendation for four teams: Buffalo North, Buffalo South, Buffalo West and Buffalo East. Most board members still seemed generally supportive of such a merger, but only after the community has more time to study and discuss it.
"I think we need more time to reconsider this, to move to four teams, if need be, and go out to the community and share this," said Rosalyn L. Taylor, who represents the East District. "Taking it slow is my recommendation."
Board member Barbara Seals Nevergold urged Lloyd to begin as soon as possible the discussion about a 2014-15 merger. "We have a tendency, sometimes, to put things on the back burner," she said. "I hope the conversation will get started this year and not wait until next year."
The proposal sparked opposition from many who said students would be less likely to want to play for a team that did not bear their school's name. Opponents also said the proposal was likely to mean some students would be excluded.
Lloyd said he recently surveyed the principals of the eight schools that have football teams. The principals of East and Hutch-Tech supported merging to four teams next year, he said.
The principals of McKinley and Riverside did not support the merger next year and did not want any further discussion of it, he said. The principals of the other four schools supported consolidating to seven teams next year and then revisiting the issue for 2014-15.
In unrelated business at Wednesday's meeting, Superintendent Pamela C. Brown updated the board on the state Education Department's review of Buffalo's teacher-evaluation plan, which was submitted Tuesday and must be approved by the state by today for the district to retain $33.4 million in state aid.
Brown said state officials advised the district Wednesday about a number of details in the plan that need to be tweaked before the plan can be approved.
"We were able to clean up a lot of technical things, a little rewording or whatever. We are working through the final details of the plan right now," Brown said. "We are very, very hopeful we will have an approved plan by [the deadline]."

In hi/lo split poker games such as Omaha Hi/Lo or Stud Hi/Lo, a hand consisting of the ace, two, three, four, and five of the same suit. It is simultaneously the best possible low hand (5-4-3-2-A) and a very strong high hand (straight flush), and will therefore almost always win at least 3/4 of the pot. Wheel refers to any 5 high straight, the flush is what makes it a "steel" wheel.
Last time I got quads playing Omaha on Pokerstars, someone had a steel wheel and he ended up scooping the pot.

There are no longer any good reasons for your business to not take credit card and debit card payments. Credit cards and debit cards are the most popular forms of payment with consumers, and customers spend more when they pay with plastic. No matter how small your business, you can easily and affordably accept credit and debit card payments anywhere that you take your mobile phone.
The smartphone revolution allows any tablet or smartphone to be instantly transformed into a working credit card reader. There are three major players in mobile credit card processing, all of whom offer a free app to process payments. Let's take a look at these three to help you decide which mobile credit card swiper is right for your business.
Accept credit card payments with Square
The most thoroughly field-tested of the instant electronic payment systems is Square, a free app that can process credit card payments on a smartphone or tablet using a small auxiliary plastic dongle. Starbucks uses Square to accept credit card payments, and it is also used by many New York City taxi drivers. Square founder Jack Dorsey, who also founded this thing you may have heard of called Twitter, claims Square is now processing $10 billion in payments annually.
Many small business owners find Square effective and affordable. The free Square dongle plugs into the earphone jack of an iPhone, Android phone, or tablet, making the device a credit card reader. Square charges 2.75 percent per swipe, or $275 monthly -- lower than the industry standard of 3.5 percent and without the dedicated phone line and expensive equipment inherent in most credit card processing systems.
There are a few disadvantages with Square. Square processes payments via Wi-Fi, so transactions will run more slowly if numerous devices are using that Wi-Fi network. Some merchants have complained that deposits are not available the next day as advertised, and occasionally they don't get those deposits for 30-60 days. The Square interface is designed in such a way that many customers forget to tip.
"Since we've started to use (Square), tips have started to go way, way down," coffeehouse barista Seaja Herfindahl told the Durham News. "It's really frustrating for people like baristas, who depend on tips."
Accept credit card payments with PayPal
PayPal also offers a smartphone-friendly mobile credit card reader and undercuts Square slightly with a 2.7 percent charge on all transactions. Unlike Square, PayPal's mobile card reader can also process personal checks.
Be aware, though -- PayPal is notorious for freezing or placing holds on user accounts and funds. PayPal will freeze an account that sees unusual spikes in business -- not good if your business depends on certain "spike" business days like trade shows, product launches or single-day events. PayPal has a history of freezing accounts for non-traditional businesses, with very sensitive triggers that flag many perfectly innocent merchants. PayPal has even frozen accounts whose spike in revenue was due to charity donations.
Accept credit card payments with LevelUp
LevelUp performs the same credit card and debit card transactions, but does not utilize a plastic dongle and does not even require a smartphone. LevelUp instantly creates QR codes that can be scanned to process payments. The advantage of LevelUp for your business is that the company charges 0 percent for processing fees (though they do get you with a monthly service fee). The disadvantage is that both the seller and the buyer need to be using the LevelUp app. How often are you able to convince your customers to download third-party apps just so they can do business with you?
The mobile credit card reader field is expanding, and may be one of the bigger small business trends of 2013. Bank of America is rolling out a mobile payment service next week. Another service called PayAnywhere will soon be available in Home Depot stores nationwide, and the company is also airing an amusing television ad. If your customers want to use debit or credit cards, your business would be well-advised to give them some credit.

Commission adopts public comment policy
April 17, 2013
The Randolph County Commission adopted a public comment policy Tuesday that places limits on the amount of time speakers may address the commission....
Each individual has the right to submit the given topic they would like to discuss, and is then given 5 minutes to speak on said topic. Have any of you been in such a meeting where there are NOT time restraints on public comment? Is no one worried about the amount of time that it would take away from the actual business that MUST be done at these meetings if everyone is given all the time they want? Our tax dollars pay the county officials and employees that take part in that meeting. I would much rather see my tax dollars spent to allow these officials to spend time on the issues facing this county instead of being forced to listen to the same nut over and over again. By the way truthseeker, I am the furthest thing from an athiest that you will ever find. Read comments, don't just skim them and begin your judegemental posts. "Judge not"...

Yeah those liberals don't want to hear from their constituents anyway. They cannot handle criticism or opposing views. Just like todays news that Democrat moron Baucus who helped pass and get the Obamacare fiasco passed now ADMITS and WHINES that it is a disaster waiting to happen. Oh really? He couldn't have enough intelligence to THINK and READ the thing BEFORE signing it and voting for it could he?
Pelosi told them they had to pass it before they could see what was in it. No wonder liberals get bad mortgage deals when they're too ignorant to READ something before signing it. Total idiots.

How dare the lowly public to assume they have the right to speak to the almighty supreme commissioners that they elected!!

It is those like Mr House who cause other people in the community to believe that Christians are all "nut jobs" and also cause others to not take Christianity seriously. When will he and his constituents realize that by making specticles of themselves they take away time from getting the business of the county done.

Charleston police officials were ready to release a report about the arrest that unraveled an alleged murder plot last month when federal prosecutors pulled the plug on their efforts to comply with the state's Freedom of Information Act.
Key portions of the S.C. Freedom of Information Act
Crime reports from the past 14 days must be made available for in-person inspection during business hours without the requestor making a written request.An agency's records can be withheld if their release would harm that agency by identifying informants, foiling a prospective law enforcement action, disclosing secret investigatory techniques, endangering public safety or disclosing intercepted communications.Violating the law is a misdemeanor punishable by up to a $100 fine and 30 days in jail for the first offense, a $200 fine and 60 days for the second, and a $300 fine and 90 days for the third.
The U.S. Attorney's Office told them that releasing the document, as well as supplemental reports, would stymie its investigation into those scheming to kill state lottery official Nancy Latham.
The police bowed to the wish.
But The Post and Courier soon found the report in a stack of crime records at police headquarters. It described how an officer pulled over a suspect and how a pistol was found in his car.
It said nothing about a plot.
"We were preparing to release that original report, but they said it would harm their case," Deputy Police Chief Tony Elder said. "We are police, and when you're looking at potential harm to an investigation ... we feel we have to defer to them."
The denial was what one media attorney called a step backward for the Charleston Police Department after the agency made strides in the past year to be more open by releasing supplemental crime reports.
An agency can claim a FOIA exception if it says how a document could foil its own prospective action, said Jay Bender, an attorney for the S.C. Press Association. Federal officials' actions are not a reason to hold back, he said.
But the argument has snowballed. The College of Charleston's police force recently cited a federal probe when it refused to release a report.
"To have one agency ask another to break the law is remarkable," Bender said. "The police are rolling over for the feds."
But while some agencies have closed the door to public documents, others have opened up:
OPEN: Charleston County Consolidated 9-1-1 Center
After an SUV was chased from West Ashley to Orangeburg County last week, the Sheriff's Office said it couldn't immediately provide incident reports. For nearly two days, the public would have known little about why deputies pursued the car at 100 mph for nearly 75 miles if it weren't for their radio transmissions that day.
Charleston County spokesman Shawn Smetana said the county recently devised a process to quickly get copies of 9-1-1 calls and dispatch communications, which are public records, to the news media.
When the county gets a request, workers at the 9-1-1 Center compile the recordings and send them to the agency involved. The agency approves the release, and the county provides Internet access to the data.
Less than a day after the high-speed chase, the county released deputies' communications, revealing that their target was a suspected drug dealer who tried to run over one of their own.
"(We) strive to be completely transparent to the public," Smetana said. "This is just one way to accomplish that goal."
OPEN: Myrtle Beach Police Department
For free and easy access to police reports in Myrtle Beach, residents can go online.
After software strikes out any personal information, incident reports are posted on a police Web page. The department says the system has generated no complaints and has freed up personnel.
OPEN: Hanahan Police Department
After a baby showed up at a hospital with a skull fracture and a father was arrested, the police released a report stating those facts but little else. More information would be in supplemental reports, the report stated, that the police refused to release.
After the police were informed that state law requires the release of all crime reports, including supplements, they did so.
The reports explained the abuse that the child allegedly suffered.
CLOSED: S.C. Dept. of Public Safety
Members of the public must file a written request for crime reports from the S.C. Highway Patrol even though the FOIA says the public doesn't have to. Anyone who shows up at a police agency and asks for a report generated in the past 14 days should get it without that hassle, the law states.
But the patrol's parent agency doesn't have the manpower to handle such requests, Lt. Kelley Hughes said. Because the agency has offices statewide, that geographic challenge slows the process, he said.
Plus, each request must go through a single FOIA coordinator, Leigh Watkins, who handles 250 every month.
"We're not like your local police department where everything is happening in your area," Hughes said. "We can't always get a report when you're coming in off the street."
CLOSED: Charleston Police Department
In April, the police said the U.S. Attorney's Office would decide whether to release reports about the murder-for-hire arrest.
But Assistant U.S. Attorney Nathan Williams has declined to say how the release could ruin his case.
Regardless, state courts have already decided that the department's reasoning for withholding information is faulty, according to Bender, the press attorney.
In 2005, North Charleston refused to hand over a 9-1-1 call describing a police shooting because the Solicitor's Office worried that it would taint the jury pool.
The Post and Courier sued, and the state Supreme Court ruled that the city must release the tape because it could not prove any harm to itself.
CLOSED: College of Charleston
When they busted a fake ID ring in Virginia, federal investigators credited the school's Department of Public Safety for helping to crack the case. But the U.S. Department of Homeland Security asked the school not to release reports about local aspects of the crime.
College attorney Kathryn Bender, who isn't related to the press attorney, channeled the same FOIA exemption as the Charleston police did in the alleged murder plot: that the release would harm a "prospective law enforcement action."
"That claim is often made, but you never hear about the law enforcement action actually coming to fruition," Jay Bender, the Press Association attorney, said. "The bad guys already know what happened. The only people kept in the dark are the people paying the salaries of the police."

Kim Kardashian's baby isn't even born yet and is already being drawn into mama's divorce.
Kardashian, carrying boyfriend Kanye West's child, has bristled at what she sees as stall tactics by estranged husband Kris Humphries to close the legal books on their 72-day marriage.
But Humphries's lawyer Marshall W. Waller writes that "what is really going on here is that an 'urgency' in the form of an apparently unplanned pregnancy" is being used by Kardashian as "an opportunity to gain a litigation advantage (to) prematurely set this matter for trial."
He adds parenthetically that the pregnancy is "something (Humphries) had nothing to do with."
Waller explains his reasoning for calling the pregnancy as unplanned: "Indeed, why would (she) plan to get pregnant in the midst of divorce proceedings?"
Kardashian, herself, recently addressed the timing.
"God brings you things at a time when you least expect it," she said last month. "I'm such a planner and this was just meant to be. What am I going to? Wait years to get a divorce? I'd love one. It's a process."
Kim Kardashian's Pregnancy Is No Reason to Speed Divorce, says Kris Humphries

NEWELL, W.Va. -A park overlook, a batting cage, a new fire truck-they're the kind of improvements that Robert Wells envisioned for his hometown when he decided to bequeath $200,000 to the East Liverpool-Fawcett Community Foundation in 2007.
A new round of grants recently approved by the foundation's board of directors will use the Wells bequest to fund beautification, recreation and safety projects in Newell, said Jackman S. Vodrey, foundation secretary.
The grants are as follows:
- $50,000 to the Newell Volunteer Fire Department toward the purchase of a new pumper truck.
- $30,000 to the Newell Community Improvement Coalition toward the construction of an overlook at Laurel Hollow Park.
- $10,000 to the Team Mojo Foundation for the installment of a batting cage at Clarke Field.
"Oh, my gosh, that's wonderful," said Beverly Enochs, president of the Newell Community Improvement Coalition, when she heard the grant application had been approved. "That is great news."
The money will help fund the design and construction of an overlook at Laurel Hollow Park on state Route 2, Enochs said. The coalition already has approval from the West Virginia Division of Highways to proceed with the project.
The coalition also has funding from the Community Participation Grant Program of the West Virginia Senate, she said.
Enochs said the overlook will help more people, especially the elderly and those with disabilities, to enjoy Laurel Hollow Park, which has undergone a transformation over the last few years.
"I think it would make it more accessible for a lot of people," she said. "It would be nice if they could just get out of the car right there and enjoy the view."
Since 2009, the coalition has received $40,000 in Wells grant money from the foundation to make improvements to the park, which dates back to 1906. The improvements include walking and biking paths, picnic areas, lighting, landscaping, grills, an information kiosk and a restored amphitheater known as Bears' Den, according to the coalition's grant application letter.
The coalition and Team Mojo Foundation also have used the Wells bequest to make improvements to Clarke Field across the street. The playground bears the name of George Washington Clarke, a Homer Laughlin China Co. salesman who was instrumental in developing Laurel Hollow Park.
The batting cage at Clarke Field will be coin-operated to help cover the cost of maintenance and upkeep by the Hancock County Parks and Recreation staff, according to the grant application by Bill Crawford, Team Mojo founder and executive director.
The $50,000 grant will cover about 10 percent of the cost of the new pumper truck for the Newell Volunteer Fire Department. The truck is being built by the Sutphen Corp. of Dublin, Ohio, at a cost of $450,000.
Robert Wells' $200,000 bequest, designated for Newell projects, was in addition to a $187,000 charitable remainder trust established by him and his wife, Carolyn, in 2002 for tri-state projects. To date, $199,530 of the bequest has been disbursed by the East Liverpool-Fawcett Foundation, Vodrey said.
About $25,000 is left "because we've had some stock gains and income from investments," he said.
Robert Wells died in 2007 and Carolyn in 2005.

Straight Answers Make a Difference
Members Jeannie and Robert took delivery of a 2011 Ford Explorer XLT!
They'd been looking for an Explorer for quite some time and having trouble finding exactly what they wanted. Visiting numerous dealerships stating they had 10 such vehicles in stock and to come down right away... only to get the run-around and only find one on the lot.
A Coca-Cola employee and member of the Credit Union, Jeannie knew about SCE FCU's CU at the Wheel service and thought Robert should give it a try. At first he was skeptical, but decided to give us a call anyway. Couldn't hurt... right? He told us he wanted to trade in his Lincoln LS Sedan for a very specific Ford Explorer.
We immediately went to work!
Robert couldn't believe it when we called him back within just a few hours to let him know we had located the vehicle he wanted and negotiated a great sale price for the Lincoln, too.
Robert said,"I'm in law enforcement and loyalty in my profession is a big deal. Due to your service and professionalism, I will no longer buy a car any other way than through CU at the Wheel. Plan on being busy because I'm going to share this experience with my entire agency at the Sheriff's Department."

According to William J. Hamilton, III the volunteer architects for Hungryneck Straphangers have just shown them their design concept for a new bus stop at Shelmore and Highway 17, which they hope would become an inspirational example for the community at large.
"Our goal was to develop a bus shelter which could be built by community volunteers that reflected the architecture and tradition of the Lowcountry. Many levels or engineering study and government approvals are still needed before anything is constructed," he said.

LISBON - The state is investigating a foamy material bubbling up from strip-mined property in Center Township that is in the process of being reclaimed.
Mike Settles, a spokesman for the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency, said the agency has conducted preliminary tests that have ruled out any kind of chemical spill.
"We're not sure what it is but it's not chemically related ... It doesn't sound like a serious situation," he said.
The property is owned by Rosebud Mining and located south of Lisbon on state Route 164 at the intersection of Mattix Road. The OEPA was notified by the Columbiana County Emergency Management Agency after passing motorists reported seeing piles of foam up to 10 feet high in some instances bubbling from the ground.
Edie Dillard, interim director of the county EMA, said Willie Brantingham visited the site but deferred to the OEPA after determining it was not the result of any accident. Brantingham is information coordinator for the Local Emergency Planning Committee.
Settles said the reclaimed property has been seeded and covered with lime, fertilizer and hay. The foam was bubbling up from the hillside and flowing into a stormwater discharge pond that eventually empties into the West Fork of the Little Beaver Creek after passing through wetlands.
As a precaution, the OEPA sealed off further discharge into the pond until they get the results back of tests performed by Rosebud. The OEPA also used an aeration device to break up the foam.
Although the OEPA is hesitant to offer any theories on what created the foam, Settles said their staff spoke with a neighboring farmer about what was going on.
"A local farmer said he's seen this before, when old hay has been used (for seeding). That's just speculation at this point. We'll know more when get the test results," he said.

Public business needs to be public knowledge. (This Mr. Taylor, is also why people lose faith in their government). If taxpayer monies are footing the bill, the taxpayers should be privy to the issue.
