A Compelling Memoir of a Cutter's Descent and Emergence
By Katrina Gay, Director of Communications
Sharp: A Memoir
David Fitzpatrick
William Morrow (2012), $25.99
In his often unsettling memoir, Sharp, author David Fitzpatrick takes the reader through his life, starting with his early memories as a child in an Irish Catholic family and the abuse he endured by an older brother. Although cognizant of a family history of mental illness, Fitzpatrick does not seem aware of his own slowly spiraling condition, further abetted by abusive "friends" in college, drug use and an intense and difficult love affair relationship break up.
Not good at fighting back, intensely passive and increasingly self-loathing, he describes with powerful detail his psychiatric breakdown. Fitzpatrick found relief from his psychic pain through cutting, and then burning, himself. He takes the reader through a 20 year process of his attempts to find recovery.
The reader descends with Fitzpatrick, slowly and deliberately, and although often uncomfortable, is left with a deeper understanding of the gradual decline of his health, his brain illness and the darkness it bodes. This is a graphic telling, as one would imagine a detail of self-violence to be.
As someone who has read many memoirs, this one stands as unique. The challenge of recovery from mental illness, the intersection of hospitalization and our treatment system and the absolute necessity of friends and family towards this end becomes rich and evident. What appears to an outsider as a clear path and choice is marred by a sick brain's inability to reason, discern and choose. Fitzpatrick reveals the myriad of sometimes unusual mental health care providers, psychiatric drug and side effect realities, multiple in- and out-patient programs and relationship roller coasters with friends and family.
Added to this is the intense questioning of self and esteem that so often accompany a mental illness that create further barriers to his ability to embrace health and recovery. Fitzpatrick helps the reader understand this—how someone can actually be afraid to give up their mental illness, because it is all that defines him: "That was who I was–I had my illness and nothing else."
Finally, and seemingly miraculously, with the help of a talented psychiatrist, lots of life experience, a family that never deserted him, friends who surface along the way and a fine-tuned medication plan, Fitzpatrick manages to emerge and find life. In Sharp, the reader is able to better understand the wreckage that often remains after a prolonged illness such as this when even the concept of hope is ungraspable. Relearning, with encouraged small steps and a talented health care professional, how to live and imagine a well life—how vulnerable one is to a back slid—is humbling and, at the same time, inspiring.
Never hesitant and certainly not reluctant to reveal the details of his experience, Fitzpatrick writes with necessity and manages, despite the grim events, to reveal encouragement in a fresh, not sentimental, fashion. His story, and the reader's experience, are authentic and help one understand how "a normal life" can be so challenging and yet so sweet when found.

MARTINSBURG - Area hunters will take to the woods with hopes of bagging bucks for the next two weeks as Monday marked the kickoff of firearm buck season.
According to Todd Butler, owner of Shenandoah Valley Sportsman's in Inwood, opening day was a success for hunters and patrons of his store.
"So far this morning it went fairly well for the group that's here," he said.

Submitted photo
Mark Morrison of Shepherdstown shot this 11-point buck off Flowing Springs Road in Jefferson County Monday.
Before noon, while noting the kickoff seemed slower than previous year, Butler said he had seen two or three nice 8-point bucks bagged.
According to reports, approximately 333,000 West Virginia hunters are expected to take to the woods within the next two weeks. Berkeley and Jefferson counties fall under the Division of Natural Resources, District II with company from Morgan, Hampshire, Hardy, Mineral, Grant and Pendleton counties.
According to Officer Richard Nelson of Hampshire County, strides have been taken to improve safety in recent years.
"We have more and more classes for hunter's safety," Nelson said.
In addition to the influx of hunting safety classes offered, Nelson attributes the safety improvements to the apprentice licence, a temporary licence allowing a person to twice hunt with another hunter. After experiencing hunting firsthand, apprentice hunters are required to take a hunter safety education course if they wish to become fully licensed.
According to Nelson, one of the most notable hunting safety tips that may often be overlooked is a hunter's notification of another person of his or her specific whereabouts.
"That really helped us a couple weeks ago when we had a gentleman fall out of tree," he said.
Nelson said safety tips include complying with state law, which requires hunters wear 400 square inches of orange; learning the area where they plan to hunt; developing a game plan for going in and coming out of the woods; treating a gun as if it's loaded whether it actually is; identifying targets correctly, using the correct ammunition; showing caution when climbing fences, gates or trees; and avoiding use of alcohol or drugs.
According to the West Virginia DNR website, the state's hunting-related profit - accounting for food, lodging transportation and equipment - generates nearly $270 million yearly. Rural areas, DNR said, especially benefit.
DNR cites state regulations as mandating that only deer with one or both antlers more than three inches above the hairline are considered legal bucks. Furthermore, only two deer per hunter may be bagged with a gun or bow during buck season and specific licensing regulations apply. Hunters are limited to three antlered deer per calendar year in all combined archery and firearm seasons.
According to DNR, the following firearms are legal for hunting deer during buck season: a rifle using centerfire ammunition; a rifle using .25 caliber or larger rimfire ammunition; a muzzleloading rifle - with or without scope - and muzzleloading pistol of .38 caliber or larger; a handgun using a straight-walled case of .357 magnum cartridge or larger, or a bottle-necked case of .24 caliber or larger - a Class A-1 handgun stamp is required; and a shotgun loaded with solid ball ammunition.
For further information on hunting seasons, safety tips or the complete list of 2012-13 hunting regulations, visit the West Virginia Division of Natural Resource's website at www.wvdnr.gov.

on February 10, 2013 - 8:37 PM
, updated February 11, 2013 at 9:53 AM
WASHINGTON – More than a year after inadvertently severing the federal lifeline to domestic-violence programs in Buffalo and across the nation, Congress is inching toward fixing what it broke.
But while the Senate is on the verge of passing the Violence Against Women Act, which is scheduled for a vote today, that fix could still falter in the House, where the bill remains hung up on a proposal to allow tribal courts to render justice on white men who abuse their partners on Indian land.
The debate over the bill resonates in both metro Buffalo, where there were 5,156 reported incidents of domestic violence in 2011 alone, and on the reservations of the Seneca Nation of Indians, where – as on all Indian reservations – white abusers of Native American women can routinely escape justice through a legal loophole.
In addition to opposing the provision involving Native Americans, House Republicans last year objected to the Democratic-controlled Senate's call for extending the bill's protections to lesbians and illegal immigrants. As a result, the two legislative chambers never settled on a final compromise on the Violence Against Women Act.
All of which is appalling to women such as Jerri Lynn Sparks, of Churchville, near Rochester, who found herself running for her life, bloodied and beaten, after her husband attacked her last July.
"This is what happens when a political party forgets to represent the people," said Sparks, a former top aide to former Rep. Eric J.J. Massa, D-Corning.
There are signs, though, that House Republicans will be much more amenable to compromise on the issue this year, after an election in which allegations of a GOP "war on women" cost the party dearly at the ballot box.
The Violence Against Women Act "just naturally moved up the priority list for a lot of members," said Rep. Tom Reed, R-Corning. "This is the sort of issue where we have to set politics aside."
In fact, the Violence Against Women Act has enjoyed widespread bipartisan support since its original passage in 1994.
The law authorizes federal grants to social service agencies for providing housing and counseling to victims of domestic violence, as well as money for training to police departments so that officers will be schooled in handling "domestics."
"A lot of the resources available to help women to escape an abusive relationship are made possible by the Violence Against Women Act," Sparks said.
In addition, she said the federal law provides for a consistent focus on domestic violence across state lines – which may not exist without the assist from Washington – while boosting public awareness of the programs that exist to aid battered women.
Together, those efforts have achieved a 50 percent reduction in incidents of domestic violence nationwide in the last two decades, said Sen. Charles E. Schumer, D-N.Y.
"That number speaks for itself," Schumer said. "Can you imagine? A 50 percent reduction is huge. With that kind of return on investment, no one can argue that we shouldn't pass this bill."
The bill would authorize $659 million in funding for programs to combat domestic violence, down by 17 percent from the previous level of funding.
People at the agencies that receive that money aren't thrilled with the reduction, but they say it's far better than seeing their funding dry up completely, which is what they fear will happen if Congress doesn't reauthorize the Violence Against Women's Act.
While some funding for domestic-violence programs has continued under other legislation since the act expired, they say that won't continue indefinitely unless the law is reauthorized.
"What I don't think people understand is that the support this law provides to the police, the prosecutors and the courts to handle domestic violence, sexual assaults and stalking," said Mary Ann C. Deibel-Braun, victims services coordinator for Catholic Charities in the Diocese of Buffalo.
Deibel-Braun said she was astonished that the bill got hung up last year over provisions to extend its protections to Native Americans, lesbians and illegal immigrants.
"To say that some women should be protected under the law, but not all, is very offensive," she said.
The bill that the Senate is on the verge of passing is similar to one that it approved last year, but for one difference: While it still clarifies that the law applies to lesbians and immigrants, a controversial provision granting more visas to abused immigrants has been removed.
Congressional sources expect that change to make the bill more palatable to the Republican-controlled House, where one key obstacle remains: the provision to allow tribal courts to bring cases against white men who abuse women on Indian territory.
To Lesley Farrell, social services commissioner for the Seneca Nation of Indians, such a provision makes good sense.
"There are no current consequences for non-Native perpetrators of attacks on Native American women," Farrell said. "I don't have the exact statistics, but it happens on all Indian territories."
Still, some lawmakers harbor grave doubts about giving tribal courts jurisdiction over non-Indians.
"It raises such significant constitutional problems that its passage might actually not accomplish anything at all for Native American women while failing to protect the constitutional rights of other American citizens," Sen. Charles E. Grassley, R-Iowa, said on the Senate floor last week.
Hearing such concerns on both sides of Capitol Hill, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., is trying to hammer out a compromise with Rep. Tom Cole, an Oklahoma Republican and one of three Native Americans in the House. One possible solution would allow non-Indians to petition to have their cases moved to federal court if they feel they are not getting a fair trial in a tribal court.
But even if a deal isn't struck on the controversial provision regarding Native American women, Democrats said, it's essential for the House to move forward on the bill.
"A full reauthorization of this law is necessary to ensure authorities have all the resources they need to fight domestic violence," Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said on the Senate floor. "So I hope the Senate's bipartisan action this week will send a strong message to House Republican leaders that further partisan delay is unacceptable."

LOCKPORT –Paul S. Turley did not appear for the resumption of his child sexual abuse trial this morning, and his wife also cannot be located, prosecutors told the judge.
Turley absconded during the lunch break Wednesday, after jury selection was completed for his trial on charges of molesting two girls between 1996 and 1998, beginning when they were five years old. The crimes allegedly occurred in North Tonawanda.
Assistant District Attorney Elizabeth R. Donatello said jails and hospitals in the region have been checked, with no sign of Turley, 47, who Wednesday told Niagara County Judge Sara Sheldon Farkas that he now lives on Lincoln Avenue in Dunkirk.
Donatello said Mrs. Turley's place of employment also says she is absent.
Defense attorney D. Daniel Stevanovic told the judge he tried to reach his client by phone last night and this morning, unsuccessfully. He also tried to contact him through Turley's mother, who posted a $50,000 bail bond for her son after his arrest last year.
Donatello requested Farkas to order the bail forfeited, but the judge demurred. She told Stevanovic that she would give the mother 24 hours to get her son to court.
"If she can produce him, she won't lose her money," Farkas said.
None of the jurors apparently had been exposed to the publicity, and the trial continued with testimony from Officer Robert J. Cinquino, the North Tonawanda policeman who took the initial sexual abuse report from the girls.
On Wednesday, Stevanovic said he reached Turley by phone at about 2:30 p.m., and the defendant told him he was in a parking lot at a Tim Hortons.
There are three Tim Hortons in Lockport alone.
"He was very frightened" by the prospect of being jailed, Stevanovic said.
Farkas said in court that Stevanovic was concerned Turley might to do something to harm himself, but the defense attorney said in an interview, "He didn't say, 'I'm going to off myself.' Like any attorney, I'm concerned about my client's well- being."
Asked after court if he expected Turley to show up today, Stevanovic said, "I have no idea."
Turley sat through a day and a half of jury selection, which wrapped up at about 1 p.m. Wednesday. Stevanovic said he didn't have lunch with Turley, as his client told him he planned "to sit here and meditate."
Turley, who faces up to 39 years in prison if convicted on all charges, wasn't around when court resumed with Farkas' opening instructions to the jury and the attorneys' opening statements.
Like all Niagara County Court defendants, Turley signed a form at his June 15 arraignment, allowing proceedings to go forward without him.
No announcement was made to the jury about why Turley wasn't in court. "Maybe they won't notice," Farkas said.
Assistant District Attorney Cheryl L. Nichols said in her opening statement that the alleged crimes occurred in North Tonawanda, where Turley was then living, between August 1996 and June 1998.
The two girls were 5 when the abuse allegedly began. One of them said she was molested again by Turley on Christmas Day 2003, when she was 12.
Since the State Legislature has in effect repealed the statute of limitations for many sex crimes, Turley wasn't in the clear when his alleged victims, now 21, came forward in November 2011.
Turley, who was living on North Bailey Avenue in Amherst when he was arrested, said in court Wednesday morning that he had moved to Dunkirk after being evicted from the Amherst residence about three months ago.
Stevanovic said Turley spent about a week in jail after his arrest before posting a $50,000 bail bond.

Salt stains on leather. ¶ Water marks on suede. ¶ Scuffed heels, worn soles and unsightly turned-up toes. Shoes and boots take a beating during the winter. Neglecting them makes it worse.
Rather than pampering pricey pumps, we wear them in slushy parking lots. We pile up soggy boots in the hallways and kick dusty flats under our desks. We do not always protect our investments.
Shoe-care advice is everywhere. On websites. On hang tags. In consumer magazines. At the neighborhood shoe-repair shop. The tricky part is taking the time to do the right thing at the right time using the right products, tools and techniques. ¶ That means properly weatherproofing footwear before wearing it in the elements the first time. Cleaning, conditioning and further protecting footwear as recommended. Taking shoes for repair to extend their lives and improve their (and your) looks. Even taking a moment to remove the salt from boots upon entering the house.
"The best thing you can do is keep your boots and shoes dry and clean. Most people, when they come home from a sloppy day out on the street or sidewalk, just take off their boots and set them by the door," said Tom Burakowski, owner of the Shoemaker's Bench, 5428 S. Abbott Road in the Town of Hamburg.
"Many people have very fine shoes and boots. If they just took the time to take the paper towel and wipe them dry, a lot of the salt and, of course, the water and snow would be wiped off. Tomorrow would be so much better if they did that. When the salt dries overnight, that is when it does the most damage on the boots," he said.
"And if you protected them ahead of time with some silicone or conditioners and oils, it would have resisted the absorption of the salt, and maybe the boots wouldn't have gotten so saturated. People don't realize just how significant polishing a shoe or boot can be when it's dry and clean. Polish can be a very good protectant," Burakowski said.
"I also encourage people to trust their intuition. We know how to do things. It's really just a matter of doing it. Any attention we give our shoes and boots, they appreciate," he added.
Shoe boutique owner Valerie Gasiewicz knows a bit about boots, women and Buffalo's winters.
Some customers wear leather in the fall and then switch to an easier-care faux leather during the snow, slush and road-salting season, she noted. Others stick with leather because they love it.
"We see plenty of women who want the real leather throughout the whole winter, but you have to be able to maintain it, you have to care for it and protect it. Otherwise that salt in our Buffalo winters will just eat away at the shoe," she said.
"If it's a bad winter, I usually spray my leather boots two or three times throughout the season," said Gasiewicz, owner of the Shoe Suite, 4446 Main St., Snyder.
No matter the footwear material or style, picking the right care products and tools – from repellents to brushes – is key. This matters if your boot is a tall fashionable style or a short rugged one.
"There are so many different materials that boots are made of – from faux leather to cloth to real leather to suede – you can't just pick one product off the shelf anymore. I think the best thing is to utilize your local shoemaker, your local cobbler, and to find out what the best product is for that shoe or that boot that you are trying to protect," she said.
Shoe and product manufacturers also often provide a customer-service phone number people can call with care questions. Information and inquiries also are found on many websites.
KIWI, the maker of shoe- and boot-care products and accessories, offers facts and tips on its website, www.kiwicare.com. And individual manufacturers, such as UGG Australia and Johnston & Murphy, offer both shoe-care advice and products for doing so (including kits).
UGG's website, www.uggaustralia.com, also features a video on caring for and cleaning UGG classic boots, which includes tips such as stuffing boots with clean paper towels to speed up the drying process and help maintain their shape.
Here are some other ways to keep your shoes and boots in tiptop shape:
• Whether it's a repellent, conditioner, polish or other product, choose one that is designed specifically for suede, leather or the other material you're treating, including synthetics. Then apply according to the manufacturer's directions. Pay attention to warnings regarding proper ventilation, etc.
• When using a product, always do a test patch in an inconspicuous area, Gasiewicz said. "You want to make sure that it is not going to stain or discolor the boot in any way."
• When it comes to shoes you love (and paid good money for), repair rather than replace. Gasiewicz has worn shoes for years simply by having the heels replaced when necessary. (Plan on spending $15 to $20 to replace heels on women's shoes, Burakowski said, which will include some cleaning and touch-ups.)
• Don't store shoes and boots in a cold, damp area such as a basement or garage.
• Consider storing shoes in the original box or individual shoe bags – especially if you do not wear them often – to protect them from dust, which can damage them. Some manufacturers provide bags with purchase. Bed Bath & Beyond sells a drawstring canvas bag with see-through window on its website, www.bedbathandbeyond, priced $14.99 for a set of two. These also are convenient for carrying shoes to work or packing in a suitcase.
For seasonal storage, Burakowski recommends using paper bags (or the cardboard boxes) rather than plastic. "Plastic will trap the moisture in the boot or shoe, whereas a paper bag would allow it to breathe and the paper itself will absorb any moisture that was left in the boot or shoe," he said.
• Another suitcase packing tip: Men's roomy athletic socks are the perfect size and thickness to shield dainty pumps, according to the editors at Real Simple. They also will prevent dirt from transferring to your clothes.
• Remove salt from leather shoes with white vinegar or a shoe desalter purchased from a shoe-repair shop. ("The desalter will be nicely balanced so that it doesn't really have a residue of the vinegar smell. Many times when you use a home product, the person uses too much vinegar so you walk around smelling like a pickle," Burakowski said.)
Prefer vinegar? Good Housekeeping suggests mixing equal parts white vinegar and water. Soak a rag in the solution and dab the leather shoes. Rinse with a water-dampened cloth. Wipe with a dry towel. Let the shoes dry, away from radiators or other heat sources, which can make leather brittle. Finally, buff with a soft cloth.
• Shoe or boot trees can help footwear maintain its shape, especially when used right after it's worn.
• Have a cobbler put rubber sole guards on leather soles (about $20). It extends the life of the sole and creates a nonslip surface, Burakowski said. Adding heel plates – a kidney-shaped piece of plastic nailed on the back of the heel – is another idea (about $5 a pair).
• Shelves and hanging shoe bags are safer for shoes than your closet floor. Your mother was right.
Experts also often recommend not wearing the same shoes every day but rather rotating them to give them time to dry and regain their shape.
Or, as your mother may also have told you, give them time "to breathe."

At 23, he's already been honored as a hero. But for Summerville Fire Department's Assistant Engineer Ryan Howlett of Summerville, he's just doing what he loves.
Joining the fire service when he was 17 and still in high school, Howlett became a member of C & B, an all-volunteer fire department, as a junior firefighter. He joined SFD three years later.
After graduating from high school he went to the Fire Academy and took 27 classes in both fire and EMT training and is certified in both.
However he finds firefighting much more exciting than EMT work. "It has the adrenaline rush," he explained. "And, we are first responders," which means he uses his medical training as well. He is also a certified scuba diver.
Growing up he moved from North Charleston to Summerville, attended Stratford High School in Goose Creek and was home schooled through Christian Kingdom Academy. His mother is an EMT-I and is step-dad is a paramedic. His older brother is with the North Charleston Fire Department. It runs in the family.
His dad works with boats at Palmetto Boats and his little brother works for the City of North Charleston with the roads department.
Howlett has no real home with SFD yet – he's what they call a floater. He is normally at Station 3 on Trolley Road but he goes wherever he is needed during his shift.
As an Assistant Engineer he might be driving an engine, if the normal driver is not available, or he might be the tailboard man, riding backwards in the jump seat.
Then at the scene it gets a bit more complicated, depending on the order of arrival. For example, if his is the first truck to arrive on the scene it will be assigned to suppressing the fire (actually fighting it).
Howlett does such things as lay line (get the hoses out and lying in the proper direction) or he might be on the gauges, pumping.
A complicated job, this means he must contuously calculate (in his head) pressure vs friction vs diameter (of the hose) vs length (of the hose) in order to make sure the men on the fire fighting end of the hose have enough water to safely fight the fire.
Obviously whoever is pumping the fire needs to have a competent grasp of mathematics.
"I love math," he laughs, "it is a lot of fun pumping."
And, of course, going into a fire is exciting as well. "It is an adrenaline rush, feeling the heat," he explains.
Howlett says he's not scared when inside a burning building but aware.
"I am really aware of the level of training needed to be safe," he said, "and Summerville has a really good training department. We are trained to look for different signs when inside a fire. So many different things can happen and you never really know what you are dealing with."
At only 23, he has not had any really bad experiences. He has, however, had some good ones. Such as the day he and his firefighter best friend, 26-year-old Brandon Bryant, were travelling on I26 and came upon a motor vehicle crash. While Brandon called for fire, rescue and police, Howlett extricated the victim out of the car. For that, they were honored during a recent fire department ceremony.
And when he's not feeling that adrenaline?
"I take care of my dog – a 10-week old yellow lab," he said. "I love to be outdoors. Anything outdoors, fishing, I love being on the lake." His grandparents had a place on Lake Moultrie.
He also spends time with his family. "My little brother is pretty much my life!"
And firefighting? "It is something I have always wanted to do…I love it."

Banker Chris Latham is fighting his estranged wife's attempts to take away his guns, saying he fears for his life due to threats and vandalism that have occurred during their bitter divorce battle.
Kentucky suspect charged in Charleston murder-for-hire plot due in federal court here Monday. Complete story here.
In documents filed this week in Charleston County Family Court, Latham maintains it is imperative for him to keep his pistol and concealed-weapons permit because he has been targeted for harm by his wife Nancy and her half brother, a convicted triple-murderer who is out on parole.
"The whole situation is explosive," his divorce attorney, Robert Rosen, said. "He has every right to be worried."
But Nancy Latham, a real estate agent and treasurer of the S.C. Education Lottery Commission, has insisted she is the one in danger, accusing her estranged husband of plotting with his girlfriend to kill her in a murder-for-hire scheme.
She has asked the court to issue a protective order against her husband and bar him from communicating with their children, keeping guns or holding a concealed-weapons permit.
A Thursday hearing has been scheduled to take up her request and her husband's competing motion seeking protection from her.
Her attorney, Timothy Madden of Greenville, called Chris Latham's allegations a "credibility assault" on his wife and "unsubstantiated bull----."
"If he is in fear for his safety, that has been the result of things he has fabricated in his own mind," Madden said.
Competing claims
Three people have been arrested in connection with the alleged plot to kill Nancy Latham, but a heavily redacted indictment filed in the case this week indicates there is a fourth defendant as well. That person's name is blacked out on the indictment, and the U.S. Attorney's Office said the identity of the person cannot be revealed until the document is unsealed on Monday.
Chris Latham has not been charged with a crime. But his wife has accused him of being involved in the alleged plot in her request for protection and in a civil lawsuit she had filed against him and three defendants on record: Russell Wilkinson, 39, and Samuel Yenawine, 38, both of Louisville, Ky.; and Wendy Annette Moore, 37, Yenawine's ex-wife who lives in the Charleston area. Nancy Latham has named Moore as her husband's live-in girlfriend.
In his response to her request for a protective order, Rosen states that such action is unnecessary because the couple is already subject to an October restraining order that bars them from contacting, harassing or interfering with one another.
Rosen also argues that state law doesn't give the family court the power to prevent his client from keeping guns, holding a concealed-weapons permit or communicating with his two children.
Furthermore, his motion states, Chris Latham has a right to defend himself against harm, and Nancy Latham has threatened to destroy him financially, placing him "in fear for his life, safety, and his reputation."
Since the divorce proceeding began, Chris Latham has encountered vandalism of his property, including a December 2011 incident in which someone loosened all the lug nuts on one of his car's tires, according to court documents.
The motion states that Nancy Latham and her half brother, paroled triple-murderer John Hall Cannon, tried to recruit Moore's ex-husband to help "destroy or take down" Chris Latham. The ex-husband, Matt Robinson, discussed the matter in a call to Moore that was recorded and placed into evidence in the divorce case.
Robinson, however, stated in a deposition that he made up that story to get Moore to come clean about an affair he suspected she was having with Chris Latham.
Madden said Nancy Latham "categorically denies" any suggestion that she has attempted to harm her husband or damage his property.
The Post and Courier has been unable to reach Cannon for comment.
Higher influence?
In a recent affidavit, Chris Latham also alleges that his wife has deceived House Speaker Bobby Harrell and his wife, Cathy, to "use their power and influence to defame me with my clients, prospective clients and other individuals to destroy my career."
Cathy Harrell is close friends with Nancy Latham, and records suggest the Harrells were siding with her in the divorce. But the couple have insisted they have done nothing to influence the outcome of the Lathams' contentious case.
Chris Latham had previously challenged the judge appointed to the divorce case on grounds that Bobby Harrell, as speaker, holds sway over how South Carolina judges are picked. A family court judge later issued an opinion that there was no evidence that Harrell influenced the judiciary.
Rosen also questioned Cathy Harrell in a March deposition about texts she sent to Nancy Latham, including a February 2012 message concerning Chris Latham obtaining his concealed-weapons permit.
"Lovely!" Cathy Harrell wrote. "I'll make sure SLED Chief Mark Keel is aware he is crazy!"
Rosen questioned whether she was "using state influence, SLED, to sick 'em on Chris?"
Cathy Harrell denied that was the case. She said in the deposition that the text "was just a joke" and she never reached out to Keel.
SLED spokesman Thom Berry said Cathy Harrell never contacted Keel about Chris Latham or the permit.
During the deposition, Rosen also asked Cathy Harrell whether she had talked with her husband about influencing the Family Court in the Latham case. "Oh, my goodness, no," she replied.
When asked about Chris Latham's allegations in the court filings, Bobby Harrell responded with a written statement that said:
"Cathy and I are godparents to the children, and of course we will do everything we can to help this family through crisis. People make crazy claims when going through a divorce and this is an example of that. We are disappointed to watch the family go through this, and hope for the children's sake this difficult time passes soon."

Monday, November 26th, the IMF's State Patients Equal Access Coalition (SPEAC) held its first meeting with state cancer advocates in Springfield, Illinois to discuss how groups can work together in the coming legislative session to ensure Illinois' state health exchange offers affordable access to comprehensive cancer care.
The Exchange, which is a central part of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), will offer uninsured and underinsured Illinois residents a market place to purchase affordable health insurance. Illinois is establishing a partnership with the federal government to implement the exchange and SPEAC advocates will work with state policymakers to guarantee that services critical to cancer patients, such as chemotherapy, hospitals stays, and palliative care are included.
Led by the IMF, Illinois SPEAC members include the American Cancer Society, Susan G. Komen for the Cure, the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, among others.
The coalition will be leading efforts across the country, so stay tuned to see what's going on in your state!

NSBNews.net photos by Sera Frederick / On the drawing boards for five years-plus, the proposed Hampton Inn & Suites is the new reality for historic Flagler Avenue in New Smyrna Beach. The developer is South Carolina-based David Swentor (with hand out to the drawing) shown here with CRA Director Tony Otte during a public hearing earlier this year.
NEW SMYRNA BEACH -- Residents soon will see the beginning of the first significant hotel development in the City in more than 20 years. Developers of the Hampton Inn Hotel on Flagler Avenue are expecting to break ground on the project in the next few weeks.
"After nearly five years of meetings and public hearings, we're excited to have a new hotel coming to New Smyrna Beach," said New Smyrna Beach Mayor Adam Barringer.
"The project will serve as an economic generator in the short term with construction jobs and in the long term with the travelers expected to stay here. We anticipate this hotel will exceed the expectations for occupancy."
NEW SMYRNA BEACH -- Susie Bruner put into perspective the true meaning of the 15th annual New Smyrna Beach Holiday Charity Ball.

Beethovenfest Finale Pittsburgh Symphony in Bonn
Yesterday began with a tour of the Beethovenhaus with Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Music Critic Elizabeth Bloom. Liz is a Harvard grad, a percussionist, and she spent last year in Turkey on a research grant learning about Turkish percussion. The Beethovenhaus has over 100,000 visitors each year. It's a tourist magnet in Bonn. The house features a concert hall for chamber music in the building next door. Underneath is the archive, containing priceless original manuscripts by Beethoven in a concrete vault with all the appropriate temperature and humidity controls. There's a silent alarm to the police if anything is disturbed – and if the city of Bonn were leveled by bombs, the manuscripts are stored in a way that they should survive. The public never sees the originals; only scholars and megawatt musicians like Anne-Sophie Mutter. The assistant archivist, Julia Ronge, said she is coming to Pittsburgh on November 6th to give a Beethoven talk at the national meeting of the American Musicologists Society at the Convention Center!Our tour guide showed us the portrait of Beethoven's grandfather, the famous original portrait of Beethoven by Joseph Karl Stieler, Beethoven's life and death masks, his wireless glasses, his inkstand, organ, the instruments for his quartet, and the viola to which he attached a wax seal in red, lightly inscribed with a cursive letter "B." There is the Conrad Graf piano he played. Also, his scissors, writing desk, notes for his housekeepers, a lock of his hair, and much more. There is a technology lab where you can line up a dozen different recordings of the "Waldstein" Sonata or the Fifth Symphony – allowing you to switch among them to compare interpretation. On the computer screen, you can see the original score of Beethoven's Ninth while listening to Karajan's recording. There is a multimedia version of "Fidelio" going every hour. A single ticket is 5 euros. The gift shop featured lots of DVDs and CDs. I was tempted by "Der Junge Beethoven," produced by the German broadcaster WDR. You can buy a death mask or a life mask in plaster for 50 euros. Reproductions of Beethoven's conversation books from the years of his deafness, biographies, busts, scarves, pencils and pens, and postcards are all for sale. It is a great shop. I picked up a few more Beethoven CDs which feature performances with the instruments found in the house. You will hear them soon.
I took the No. 66 tram to Heussallee Museumsmeile – 1.90 euros. You buy your ticket from a machine, an electronic sign tells you how many minutes until the tram arrives, and off you go. I was headed to the massive Deutsche Welle building, where the Beethovenfest has its offices. There, I interviewed Ilona Schmiel, the Intendant or Director these past ten years. She is now the head of the Zurich Tonhalle Orchestra. She says she would love to present a series of Pittsburgh Symphony concerts in Zurich, and is talking to Bob Moir, the orchestra's Senior Vice President of Artistic Planning, about just that.I had to run back to the hotel to join a group of musicians, organized by Cynthia Koledo DeAlmeida, who were going to play a fundraising concert in Cologne. An intern from the festival, Natalie Chen, drove me back in a BMW – the Official Car of the Beethovenfest. We left from an underground garage reminiscent of the Pentagon's.
Then it was off to Cologne with Dr. Dirk Spillman. He drove the musicians to the home he shares with his wife, Inga Spillman. The intimate concert was given to benefit Cologne schoolchildren, who do not get much music their classes. Cindy had met the Spillmans in Santa Barbara, where she participates in the summertime Music West festival. Dr. Spillman, nicknamed "Tiger," is now retired as an EMT specialist. He loves good design. His home, with its garden and Braun stereo system, was stunning. It was built in 1907. In the ravages of WWI, German homes were required to build bomb shelters in the basement. That's where the doctor keeps his tools and hangs his wash.We walked a short path through the lush green Cologne Südpark to the home of Marian and Ludo Rautenstrauch. Marian and Ludo are prominent supporters of the arts, and agreed to host the concert. Marian is part of the German publishing company Uhlstein. She knew Herbert von Karajan and other German art and music luminaries.
Cindy, Christopher Wu, David Premo, Rodrigo Ojeda, Lorna McGhee and Meng Wang played Mozart's Oboe Quartet, the Gypsy rondo finale from Brahms' Piano Quartet No. 3, Dohnanyi's Aria for Flute No. 1, and Bach's Trio Sonata, BWV 1038.At dinner, I sat with Wolfgang Arndt, Marian's attorney, who had lived in America in the early 60's as an intern for Youth for Understanding – which still places Germans in American homes. They are based in Washington, D.C. The Rautenstrauch's nephew Klaus was with us, too. He also had been an American exchange student. These two couldn't have been nicer dinner companions. They say that Germans are highly self-critical since the events of WWII. We talked about Angela Merkel and her upcoming election. They say she has exactly the right view of Vladimir Putin, since as a former East German she had suffered oppression from the East. When Merkel meets Putin for diplomacy, she speaks with him in fluent Russian. We talked about the German view of the NSA scandal, and Obama's predicament with Syria. All the conversation had a good-natured warmth that was an absolute delight. This along with German meatballs, creamed Krautsalat, and boiled potatoes with parsley, followed by apple sauce with a crumble topping. Fabelhaft! Back in the van, Dirk drove us all back to Bonn.
Many of the Beethoven Festival souvenirs are emblazoned with the word "Freude," or Joy, as in the Ode to Joy. What freude it is to hear the Pittsburgh Symphony in Bonn tonight for their final tour concert. The tickets for the festival here are a bit more affordable than the 350 Swiss franc tab (about $350 US) in Lucerne.

Hoard's Dairyman: Consider your lower-cost options
Consider your lower-cost options
The author has a dairy nutrition consulting business, Paradox Nutrition, LLC, in Plattsburgh, N.Y.
Feeding commodities presents a challenge of maintaining quality and controlling wastage or shrink of feed commodities on the farm.
With the current milk prices, people are looking to cut back on feed costs. As a nutrition consultant, my job is to suggest the best ways to do this.
There really is no easy answer; nor is there one answer for everybody. Often, dairy producers end up just pushing on their feed company representative to get the cost per ton of their grain down. Obviously, you want to make sure that you don't have something in your grain that is not paying for itself. But, if this is your only focus, you probably will not get very far, and you may end up saving a nickel but losing a dime in the long run.
Target your TMR . . .
Are you feeding a one-group TMR to all of your milking cows? Or are you feeding one complete feed to all of the milking cows in your barn? Maybe now is the time to ask "Why?" It still may be the right thing to do, but it may not be. Last week, I priced out a feed program with a high and low production group and saved $1 per cow per day by feeding the low cows their own TMR with a different low-cow grain.
With target feeding, the goal is to give cows the nutrition that they need but no more than they need. Early-lactation cows usually will respond profitably to a higher quality diet balanced for amino acids, with higher levels of fat, and with proven feed additives. If you take these more expensive ingredients out of their diet, be prepared for lower peaks and more breeding problems.
Late-lactation cows easily can maintain their milk production on a more basic diet. They need fewer nutrients to support their level of milk.
With careful diet balancing, as well as cautious pen movements, you can control production drops when you switch cows from a high- to a low-production group. However, there is the social impact that you cannot do much about aside from trying not to overcrowd pens.
Generally, for low-group diets, I still try to support more milk from protein than the group is averaging. If the group is averaging 60 pounds per cow per day, I still make sure that I have enough protein to support 65 or 70 pounds. I also try not to make too big of a change in diet NDF levels, perhaps boosting forage in the diet by only 5 percentage points.
If you have a tie stall barn and one complete grain mix that you feed by the scoop around the barn, you may think that you can't do more to better target feed your cows. But, have you ever thought about finding a way to handle a second grain that would contain the expensive ingredients and which you could topdress just to your early-lactation cows? It might even be economical to purchase such a grain in bags if it allowed you to save a significant amount of money on your regular grain.
Often, farms purchase a separate energy supplement (like cornmeal) and a separate protein supplement with minerals and additives and use both in different rations for the milking cows. This makes sense if you are getting a great deal on straight cornmeal (or other energy source). But, if you only have two bins for grain on the farm and this strategy is forcing you to feed some higher quality ingredients and additives to your low cows, you might want to reconsider this approach. It may make more sense to combine your energy and protein sources and have a complete feed for the high cows and another complete feed for the low cows. You won't know until you run the numbers.
During times of high feed prices, it is essential that nutritionists work even harder to find the most economical feed ingredients to meet cows' nutrient needs. Remember that cows require nutrients and not necessarily the same feed ingredients that have always been fed in the past. Routine optimization of the ration using current feed ingredient prices is crucial. Both large and small dairy farms can reduce feed costs by purchasing some feed ingredients as commodities and mixing them into a TMR.
Feeding commodities presents more of a challenge to you. Delivered product must be good quality, and this quality must be maintained as feed is stored on the farm. You also must control wastage or shrink of feed commodities on the farm, and the cost associated with it should not be overlooked. Feed ingredients must be palatable, not damaged by weather, and free of molds, bacteria, and trash. It's not worth the risk to feed a bad load of any ingredient.
You need to know your suppliers, measure bushel weights, visually inspect all incoming loads, and routinely test samples at a laboratory. Incoming feed ingredients need to have a known and consistent nutrient profile, and they need to be processed correctly. Certain feed ingredients have more consistency issues than others.
Don't waste starch . . .
With tight margins, dietary starch digestion needs to be as complete as possible. Your goal should be to have no visible passage of grain in the manure. Some people find it helpful to wash manure to screen out the grain contained in it. Some nutritionists send manure samples to a laboratory to analyze for starch content. My general rule is that, if I see grain in manure after I kick my boot through it, there is too much. Adequate fiber length for good rumen mat formation helps to slow passage of grain for a more complete digestion.
Grinding increases the amount of surface area that the rumen microbes can attach to. Thus, grinding improves starch digestibility. It has been recommended that 67 percent of cornmeal should pass through a kitchen flour sifter (~1.18 mm). This equates to an average particle size of 1,100 microns. High-moisture corn should be rolled prior to feeding if it is 28 to 32 percent moisture, but it should be ground to a smaller particle size if it has less than 25 percent moisture.
Proper corn silage dry matter and processing at harvest is essential so that corn silage kernels are fully digested. You must make every effort to ensure that corn silage is fermented for four months prior to feeding to make certain that the starch is available to the cow.
For long-term profitability, you need highly digestible forages. Better genetics and improved forage harvesting and storage have helped to improve NDF digestibility on many dairy farms. Highly digestible forages help you reduce grain levels in the ration. This improves rumen health and reduces ration costs. With typical Northeastern U.S. forages, I balance high production rations with 24 to 25 percent forage NDF. But, with highly digestible forages, often I can meet energy needs and control acidosis better with 26 to 27 percent forage NDF. Those of you who are feeding highly digestible forage may have high production diets containing as much as 65 percent forage. Obviously, this can make a huge difference in the farm's bottom line.

you would create a scheduler that derives from VirtualScheduler, give it two type parameters that implement the absolute and relative part of your notion of time. For this to work, your notion of time will need to be able to :
an internal source control system from before TFS (we're all old school Microsofties who have the old system's shortcuts in our fingers )
We didn't integrate Pex with Tfs.
In our team we use a checkin system popular inside Microsoft that does verification before checkin. Source changes get packaged up, send to a server. The server kicks off a build with the code changes, starts up a bunch of vms, installs the product and runs test on it. Only if everything passes the code is checked in by the server.
In this system adding pex is very easy as you can write test scripts in any (scripting) language you want as long as there is a commandline to execute. Not sure how much work it would be to get it going in TFS...
Yup aware of the volume (and lighting) issues, recording on a Flip right now, which is great for home videos but less ideal for these kind of videos, getting a more professional camera soon...
Thanks! Yes we'll definately bring the marble diagrams up with the doc team...
Definately, we already have the videos for the upcoming week or so recorded, but we'll include that in the next batch we'll record..
CombineLatest is extremely useful in a scenario where you always need a pair of events e.g. you need to know the latest key pressed in combination of the latest position of the mouse cursor.
There is a Join operator that implements the Join-Calculus, we'll do a future video on that operator for sure!
That's actually what CombineLatest does. We're missing one that will not duplicate but does take the latest unused value (cache of one, with consumption), will talk to Wes and Erik to see if that would be a useful operator...
Zip will start caching. On Thursday we'll explain CombineLatest which is like what you're describing as the second option...
Hi JWeber,
Rx allows all of the above options. It really depends on what you're looking for. option 1 would be the default behavior. if you had used a AsyncSubject or ReplaySubject, you could get option 3. option 1 and 4 you'd have to implement manually using Observable.Create.
Hope this helps,

5 Terrifying Things Movies Don't Tell You About Los Angeles
#2. The Headshots
Being a gigantic nerd who loves video games and the apocalypse, when you say, "Let's get some headshots," I reply, "Sweet, I call Bill. I had to be Zoey last time." But no, they're not talking about shooting subhumans in the skull (sigh, they never are when you want them to be, you know?) they're referring to the blown-up, soft-lit faceporn that is the cornerstone of the auditioning process. And everyone has them: No matter how ordinary or down to earth a person might seem, no matter what they look like, or how unlikely it sounds -- if they live in L.A., there's a 1 in 3 chance that they have a stack of gigantic, glossy pictures of their own face burning a hole in their briefcase. And they will be absolutely astonished to learn that you do not. The really twisted thing is, this has nothing to do with personal vanity or delusional pipedreams: It's a universal requirement of the culture. My wife was looking for part-time work when we first moved down here -- nothing to do with the entertainment industry, mind you, mostly receptionist positions or social work -- and every single job required headshots with the resume. To answer the fucking phones.
An example: Soren Bowie works at the desk behind me. All joking aside, he's a perfectly normal, well-adjusted, modest and down to earth kind of guy, who only occasionally hunts men for sport. Here's his headshot:
Michael Swaim and Cody Johnston work in the far corner, because they're video people and not allowed to associate with the more civilized text editors. They're protesting the apartheid, but they can't cross the Writes Only line, so they're easy enough to ignore, for now. These are their headshots:
I'm not saying having these things reflects on them negatively, it's just surreal. Those are my coworkers. The people that man the desks surrounding mine. And yet they all have to have these weird, cheesy glamor ID cards, regardless. It's like the government is assembling a watch list to help ensure only the beautiful people get on the Doomsday Arks. Maybe someday, after I get this cocaine habit to stick, I'll have to look into it as well. But for now, the closest thing I have to a respectable self-portrait is the defensive cell phone pic my wife snapped after she came home from shopping and realized she forgot the Jameson.
Obviously, I will not be on that Ark.
But all of this -- the chrono-negligence, the beast with a thousand mouths, the Bioshock-style mad cosmetic surgeons, the mandated face-badges - it all pales in comparison to the biggest, most shocking, most soul-destroying aspect of Los Angeles. Something no movie, TV show or blood-scrawled prophecy could have properly prepared any sane human soul to experience.
#1. Beer Costs Like $9 Here
Nine motherfucking dollars! Per pint!
Sure, that's for a middle-to-above-average brew, but what is this, post-collapse Russia? Is money so meaningless that we have to measure it in wheelbarrows? Where are the human rights protesters?! Fuck Wall Street, why aren't the hipsters camped out in the parking of the 7-Eleven?
Jesus, I thought I made a pretty good living, but in reality, I earn like three cheap beers an hour, max. Do you know how heart-stoppingly depressing that realization is? I need a steady rate of at least $5/hr just to get out of bed in the morning.
Welp, I guess there's always the valley. Guess I better start making some phone calls. How much do gloryhole attendants make these days anyway, and what do you mean, you need a goddamn headshot?!
You can buy Robert's book, Everything is Going to Kill Everybody: The Terrifyingly Real Ways the World Wants You Dead, or follow him on Twitter, Facebook and Google+. Or you could argue that I'm being unfair, that you live in Los Angeles and have a fantastic work ethic, but that sounds hard: Don't you have people to do that for you?

COLUMBIA — If Sharrod Golightly reaches to the furthest depths of his memory, he can remember when Tennessee football was a successful program consistently in the national spotlight.
His mind traces to former Volunteers running back Jamal Lewis. Golightly, South Carolina's starting spur, was 7 years old when Lewis played his final season in Knoxville. He would watch the big, bruising tailback on Saturday afternoons, rooting for a player that came from his hometown.
"I was a big fan of him, coming from Atlanta," Golightly said.
In the years since, Tennessee's successful seasons have been few and far between. For most, they're hard to remember. "Um, I'm kind of young," Golightly said when asked if he recalled when Tennessee was an SEC juggernaut instead of an annual disappointment clawing for a way back to the top.
When No. 11 South Carolina travels to Neyland Stadium for a noon kickoff Saturday on ESPN, it will face a Volunteer program that barely resembles its rich tradition. In the 14 years since Lewis left campus, the Volunteers hit the eight-win mark just seven times. It's a staggering fall from grace, considering the Vols had at least eight wins every season in the 1990s.
Tennessee hasn't won a postseason game since the 2008 Outback Bowl. It hasn't been to a bowl game in the past three seasons. These used to be annual rites for the program. Not anymore. Since Steve Spurrier became South Carolina's head coach in 2005, Tennessee has more coaching changes (three) than bowl victories (one).
In its first season under coach Butch Jones, Tennessee desperately hopes for a return to glory. The first six games of Jones' tenure have been a mixed bag. The Vols are 3-3, winless in two SEC games, but their last game was an overtime loss to then-No. 6 ranked Georgia — a game that gave the program hope entering a bye week.
"Tennessee is a team that has lost to three really good teams — Florida, Georgia and Oregon — and they beat three teams they were supposed to beat, I guess," Spurrier said. "They're getting into sort of the meat of their schedule, like all of us are. Huge game, division game, conference game, all that. So hopefully we should be ready to play."
The Gamecocks are the biggest benefactors from the Vols' collapse. The two programs traded positions in the SEC East. It is South Carolina now considered an upper-echelon team alongside Georgia and Florida, while Tennessee is in the division's bottom half.
Spurrier said the biggest advantage has come on the recruiting trail. As USC's profile climbed, the program became more attractive to top-flight recruits. The Gamecocks have maintained four straight Mr. Football recipients, with Stephon Gilmore and Marcus Lattimore — and soon Jadeveon Clowney — going on to the NFL.
"It has helped us not to lose South Carolina athletes to Tennessee the way it probably happened prior to '04 or '05, somewhere in there," Spurrier said. "We started to keep the best players in our state, instate between us and Clemson. They get their share, we get our share, and I think that has helped both schools. It has helped them, it has helped us to be able to compete with the surrounding state schools — the Georgias, the Tennessees, the North Carolinas, schools like that.
"Historically, some good players would leave our state and go to FSU, Georgia and Tennessee, schools like that. It's beneficial to keep the best players in the state."
It's beneficial to win head-to-head matchups against divisional rivals, too.
Golightly may struggle to remember Tennessee's recent past, but he undoubtedly recalls Oct. 30, 2010. The Gamecocks beat the Vols that day 38-24 in Columbia. They haven't lost since.
To find the clearest example of how realities have changed at USC and Tennessee, look at the decade-by-decade breakdown. The Vols owned the Gamecocks in the 1990s with a 7-1 record. They were 8-2 against USC last decade.
This decade, the Gamecocks are 3-0.
"I guess it's new territory," Golightly said. "But you feel like you're a winner."
