LOCKPORT – Kevin P. Fuller, 35, of Wheatfield Street, North Tonawanda, pleaded guilty in State Supreme Court Wednesday to a charge of selling cocaine to a police informant in that city Sept. 7.
Fuller admitted to fifth-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance and was scheduled for sentencing April 10 by Justice Richard C. Kloch Sr., who could send him to prison for as long as 2½ years.
In another drug case before Kloch Wednesday, John White, 53, of 27th Street, Niagara Falls, pleaded not guilty to an indictment charging him with two counts each of third-degree criminal sale and possession of a controlled substance. The alleged drug deals last year in the Falls were caught on audio tape, Assistant District Attorney Peter M. Wydysh said.
Kloch also placed Chaz C. Balkum, 28, of Rochester, on five years' probation on a reduced charge of attempted fourth-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance. Balkum sold cocaine in the City of Lockport Dec. 15, 2011.

Source: Samsung
quote: China Labor Watch (CLW), a New York-based campaign group, has published two reports about alleged breach of labour laws at factories of Samsung and its suppliers in China.The first, published in August, alleged that it had found seven children - all of them are under the age of 16 - working at a factory of Samsung's supplier HEG Electronics.Samsung had carried out an audit of that factory and said it did not find any evidence of child labour.It was after that report Samsung announced that it would conduct an audit of 249 suppliers in China.But just as Samsung promised to carry out the checks at its suppliers, CLW published another report alleging "illegal and inhumane violations" at eight Samsung factories in China.CLW said it had found evidence of "forced and excessive overtime", "extensive labour contract violations", "abuse of underage workers", "lack of worker safety" and "severe discrimination based on age, gender, and individual characteristics unrelated to the job" among other breaches.Samsung said that it had conducted regular checks as well as unannounced inspections of all its factories in China in October."Except the overtime issue, violations covered in the report are not in line with our knowledge," Samsung said.It added that it would correct its working hours practices and meet the local guidelines by the end of 2014.
quote: When are you Samsung zealots going to wake up and smell what you are shovelling. Foxconn were no better but at least Apple went in and did something positive about it instead of just denying the problem exists .

The 24th Annual Chocolate, Wine & Roses Festival on November 3rd was a financial success. We would like to thank all of the community members that came out to show their support and raise more than $116,000 for Tahoe SAFE Alliance and Project MANA. Specifically, we would like to thank the Munson Family Foundation for the $20,000 Challenge Match Grant which enabled us to raise an additional $25,000 from the community for programs that help keep Tahoe safe, healthy, and fed.Putting on an event of this caliber requires the talent, time, and dedication of staff, volunteers and community members who work closely together towards one goal. It gives me great pleasure to recognize the planning committee who dedicated thousands of hours over the past six months to put on the biggest and best Chocolate, Wine & Roses Festival to date.The committee members include Auction Co-Chairs: Debbie Nicholas & Sherry Kleinam; Chocolatier Co-Chairs: Judith Buckingham & Lee Kresy; Decorations Chair, Lindsay Bourgeois; Entertainment Chair, Heidi Allstead; Judge Chair, Jackie Dontcho; Logistics Chair, Karen Osborne; Sponsorship Chair, Dina Marshal; Volunteer Chair, Kristy Oriol; and Winery Co-Chairs, Karin Paris & Alex Doczy.I would especially like to recognize Plant Works Reno and Shirley Hart for donating all of the tropical silk flowers and trees, as well as their highly competent and dedicated designer staff. It is only because of their generosity, support, and time that were able to create a lush tropical landscape reminiscent of Havana. Thank you Lindsay at Bourgeois Interior Design for working with Plant Works and executing our vision.Thank you to Linda and Richard Offerdahl and Dress the Part(y) for their signature sponsorship and continued support of this important fundraiser. A special thank you to all of our sponsors that contributed to the financial success of Chocolate, Wine & Roses. And of course, I would like to give recognition to the more than 40 dedicated volunteers who took time out of their busy lives to help put on this event.Dawn Harris Tahoe SAFE Alliance

O'Neal Publishes Review of Rousseau Literature in Oxford Journal
Contact John C. O'Neal, French
Posted May 11, 2014
Tags Faculty Foreign Languages French John O'Neal
Undertaking a time-honored tradition in French bibliography known as the état présent, Professor of French John C. O'Neal reviewed the past 15 years of Rousseau scholarship at the invitation of the editors of French Studies, published by Oxford University Press.
Hearing of this study, the Société Française d'Étude du Dix-Huitième Siècle asked O'Neal if it would be possible to use a French translation of his piece for its journal, Dix-Huitième Siècle. Oxford UP gave its permission to do so. The English version appeared in French Studies 68, 2 (April 2014), and the French version is scheduled to come out at a slightly later date this summer.

COLUMBIANA - Summer might just be around the corner, but Heartland Christian School is thinking about what winter and basketball might bring after the school filled out its basketball staffs this week.
The Lions hired Keith Tate, 36 of Toledo, as the head boys basketball coach and former United girls basketball assistant Chris Kadvan, 25, as the head girls basketball coach.
Tate replaces Andrew Bobalik who led the Lions to an 18-5 record last season. Bobalik revealed to the media in May that he was to be hired as a head boys basketball coach at Carrollton, but the Carrollton school district opted out of making the hiring official.
Heartland athletic director Suzanne Shields said that it was too late to reconsider bringing Bobalik back because the interviewing and hiring process was already too far along.
"We were very blessed to have him and are grateful for what he did here," Shields said about Bobalik.
Shields said the school had nine applicants for the head boys job including one from New Mexico.
Tate, a 1995 Toledo Rogers High School graduate, impressed Heartland officials with his deep collegiate coaching background. A part of two years as a varsity assistant at Marion Franklin High School, Tate has spent time in various small college assistant roles throughout the country including becoming the interim head coach at Tiffin University in 2009. Tate's last coaching job was in 2010-11 as an assistant women's basketball coach at Lane College in Tennessee.
He said he found out about the Heartland job through the OHSAA job board and is excited to be back working with young people.
"College players are a little more adult and you don't have the opportunity to help them as much," Tate said. "This is an opportunity to develop these kids on a personal and athletic level."
Tate, who works as a recreational therapist and youth counselor at the Cuyahoga Juvenille Correctional Facility, said he is searching for work closer to the Columbiana area and would love to be involved with the youth of this community outside of basketball.
The former Kentucky Christian basketball player and Excelsior College graduate said he grew up as the son of a father and mother who were both ministers, so Heartland Christian appealed to his spiritual side. He hopes success follows on the basketball side of things.
"This is my first taste of small high school basketball, but I am going to bring a big time feel to it," Tate said.
Heartland also hired former Lordstown assistant coach Wesley Best as its boys junior varsity coach.
"I'm also looking to bring up one of my former college players to fill out the staff," Tate said.
Kadvan, a third grade teacher in the United Local school system, comes to the Heartland girls program fresh off the Eagles' Div. III district championship run. It was his second season on head coach Sam Mathias' bench and Kadvan said he learned a lot.
"I like to thank them all for the opportunity," Kadvan said. "I feel at this point that I'm ready to take on being in charge of a program."
Kadvan, a 2006 graduate of Struthers High School and a 2010 graduate of Westminster College, said he has been working closely with experienced coaches and feels confident that he can start building Heartland into a winner.
"I played one year under (former Struthers head coach) Joe Fuline in high school and he taught me a lot about what it takes to build a program," Kadvan said. "In fact, I am still close with him to this day and I hope to bring that Struthers blue collar work ethic as well as the winning ways I learned at United to Heartland."
Kadvan, who played basketball and baseball in high school, also served one year as a boys varsity assistant at Neshannock High School before coming to United.
He inherits a team that went 4-18 last season.
"The biggest thing will be change," the recently married Kadvan said. "We're going to come to them with different ideas and try to establish a new identity. There is some raw talent here. We're going to have our ups and downs, but hopefully we'll put it all together."

5 Animals That Could Take Over the World (If They Wanted To)
The top of the food chain is a pretty great place for humanity to be, for a whole bunch of reasons. For the sheer dietary variety alone, being able to eat anything we want is just the best.
Jupiterimages, Brand X Pictures/Brand X
"Hmmm. Which of God's creations shall I have today?"
Perhaps more obviously, humanity's dominion over the lesser beasts has ensured that on a day-to-day basis, we can be free from the stress of simple survival. While every other animal has to always be alert, worried about what larger, more cunning animals are doing, humans have been able to relax and dedicate our fight-or-flight reflexes to more leisurely pursuits, like car racing and fight clubs and car fighting. But how did we get to be so fortunate? Are we at the top of the food chain because of our own merits, or because other, cleverer animals simply let us? What if they changed their minds?
Because not a day goes by without someone here at Cracked fantasizing about punching an animal, we felt particularly well-suited to answer this question (which we posed to provoke fantasies about punching animals). What follows, then, is a study of the five animal species best poised to take back this planet from us. Here we shall discuss their strengths, their weaknesses, and how, if push came to shove, these species would fare against an elite team of Humanity Marines in a battle to control the world.
#5. Octopus
Weight: 20-155 pounds
Terrain: the sea
Special Powers: intelligence, ink-squirting, shape-shifting, base-8 arithmetic
Population Available for Military Service: unknown
Military Force Analysis:
For thousands of years, no one paid much attention to the octopus. It was kind of weird looking, it lived underwater, and until the invention of deep fryers, it wasn't especially tasty. Also, octopuses didn't really attack humans, so they never attracted the same level of attention as sharks or tigers or tiger sharks did.
Jupiterimages/Photos.com/Getty Images
So it's only in the past couple decades that scientists finally got around to looking at octopuses, at which point they found out that they're actually pretty smart. Spookily smart. Because it'll eat most things smaller than itself, the average octopus has got a whole mess of different hunting techniques it uses to capture the various prey. They're tool users, nest builders, and presumably pretty good blackjack dealers. And they've got excellent memories; scientists have taught octopuses all sorts of tricks, like disassembling LEGO models, opening locked cages, and solving mazes.
Less charmingly, they can all use these memories to hold grudges. There's a case of an octopus scientist (octologist?) that a particular octopus took a particular dislike to, possibly because she messed up a complicated octopus handshake ritual. The octopus hated this girl so much that any time she walked by his tank, he'd spit on her. She disappeared for a while, because who's got time for that, only to return a year later to find that, yes, the octopus recognized her, and yes, he was going to keep spitting on her.
Comstock Images/Comstock/Getty
"This is my Tank and I am the Law and I am the Lash."
If that doesn't sound so bad to you, like if you don't live next to any octopus tanks, well, just know that they can move around pretty good on land, too. In captivity, they apparently leap out of their tanks all the freaking time, at which point they scurry along the ground like all the nightmares ever. Octopus scientists (octometrists?) have found them behind desks, on bookshelves, and in teapots. Also, some of them are shape-shifters, meaning everything around you right now could potentially be an octopus. If you didn't plan on sleeping this week, say hello to the mimic octopus:
Yeah. So, octopuses are intelligent, tool-wielding, shape-shifting grudge holders, and the only reason they haven't attacked us yet is because to them, we don't taste very good without being deep fried either. As soon as they master boiling-grease technology, humanity is on notice.
Mission Log, Operation: Terror in the Deep
Zeke: I don't like this, Sarge.
Sarge: You don't have to like it. You just have to do it. We have to get these eight-legged SOBs back for what they did to Buenos Aires. That's why we're taking the fight to their home.
Frenchie: But our guns! They don't work underwater.
Biscuit: I'm also getting sand in my mask.
Sarge: Get back in formation, Private Biscuit.
Biscuit: But I dropped my mask. Wait. Here it is.
Zeke: Biscuit? BISCUIT!?
Biscuit: Oh God it wasn't my mask it was a shape-shifting octopus oh God HAAAAAAAALP!
Sarge: Shoot!
Frenchie: We can't!
Sarge: Then kick him! Kick him in the head!
Biscuit: IT'S IN MY HAIR IT'S IN MY HAIR IT'S IN MY HAIR.
#4. Army Ants
Alex Wild via Wikimedia Commons
Weight: not so big
Terrain: Africa, South America, Asia
Special Powers: strength, numbers, strength in numbers
Population Available for Military Service: numbers do not go up this high
Military Force Analysis:
"Army ants" is a description of a few different species of nomadic ants that move and hunt in massive colonies, sometimes numbering millions of ants at once.
Mehmet Karatay via Wikimedia Commons
How many grad students had to die to complete that census?
Army ants are also, happily, completely carnivorous, and with millions of them in one place at a time, they essentially never stop killing, tearing through hundreds or thousands of prey an hour. They only stop killing for a few weeks a year, but don't relax -- that's just because they take a breather to make more army ants.
They're clever, too, moving by day in a variety of formations to protect the more valuable members of the colony, and to drive and trap their prey before them. Witnesses have observed army ant waves 65 feet wide. And at night, the ants stop, forming a colony out of their own bodies, full of tunnels, passageways, and public spaces, filled with what still must surely be a tremendous amount of murdering other species.
They can turn cow corpses into skeletons, and yes, have already been known to kill humans, although for now it's just been the slowest and weakest -- people unable to move out of the way of the relatively slow-moving columns. But don't take too much solace in that, because they can move underground, too. And were they to ever organize on a scale larger than a few million, that could change. Because boy howdy, there are a lot of them. In terms of total body mass, all the ants on Earth may outweigh all the humans, and when you consider just how enormous humans are getting, that amounts to a whole lot of ants.
Mission Log, Operation: Zergling Rush
Zeke: Feels quiet.
Sarge: Last civvies evacuated yesterday, Zeke. After what those six-legged SOBs did to Kuala Lumpur, no one's taking any chances.
Frenchie: Listen! Zey are coming!
Sarge: Eyes up, team. Wait. Where's Biscuit?
Zeke: He went to go take a leak.
Sarge: Biscuit, get back on the concrete right now!
Biscuit: What's going on ... OH GOD NO!
Frenchie: Zut alors!
Sarge: Shoot!
Zeke: We'll hit Biscuit!
Frenchie: And our bullets! They are too big for the leetle ants!
Biscuit: THEY'RE IN MY HAIR THEY'RE IN MY HAIR THEY'RE IN MY HAIR.
#3. Cape Buffalo
Gouldingken via Wikimedia Commons
Weight: 1,000-2,000 pounds
Terrain: Africa. The Capish part.
Special Powers: size, fearlessness, obnoxiousness
Population Available for Military Service: 900,000
Military Force Analysis:
When dopey Internet comedy writers discuss the dangerous animals of Africa, the Cape buffalo is often, and surprisingly, overlooked. Although everyone understands the dangers that lions and hippos and elephants pose, relatively few people (re: people who piss off large animals for fun) know that the Cape buffalo is perhaps the biggest killer of humans of them all, and certainly not to be messed with.
Ikiwaner via Wikimedia Commons
If the Wu-Tang ever decided to endorse a cow, it would be this one.
Why are they so deadly? Well, they'll attack just about anything that gets too close to them, with no provocation (other than "existing too close to them"). Humans, cars, trucks, whatever. They'd probably run down a tank, but no one's been willing to risk one of their tanks yet.
Also of note, along with being the size of cars, they, much like cars, are not brought down by casual gunfire. Their bones are so big that they are essentially bulletproof when shot at with many smaller calibers. It takes massive, thumb-sized bullets to take them down, and even then, often more than one; Cape buffaloes have been known to sprint away after taking grievous wounds. And not just to go wander off and die somewhere. No, getting shot just seems to piss them off. Cape buffaloes are notorious for leaving blood trails and circling around on the people hunting them to try and take them down from behind.
That's right. While wounded, they use themselves as bait, in a trap that will result in them frontally attacking a truck full of people carrying small artillery pieces. They do not take shit from anyone, and were they ever to organize themselves militarily, or even just stop standing still while we carefully aim at their brains, humanity could be in a lot of trouble.
Mission Log, Operation: Cow Patty
Zeke: Here they come.
Sarge: Frenchie, get up on the 50. As soon as they get over that rise, you give them hell.
Frenchie: With plezure. Come get some, you bastards. This is for Gretchen and Claude and Flaubert and all the others from Marseille.
Sarge: Good. Biscuit, you deployed that razor wire in the alley behind us, right?
Biscuit: Is that what you asked me to do? Oh man. That makes so much more sense than what I did.
Sarge: So the alley behind us isn't a mass of razor wire?
Biscuit: No. I built a high shelf and put the stack of wire up there.
Sarge: What? Why!?
Biscuit: I thought you wanted to raise it. Like to stop bears from eating it. I don't know.
Zeke: They're coming from behind us!
Biscuit: Sorry, guys, that's on me.
Sarge: Brace yourselves!
-A massive impact rocks the Humvee. Frenchie falls from the roof turret-
Zeke: Frenchie! Are you OK?
Frenchie: Non!
Zeke: They're on the roof!
Sarge: It's OK. This is armored. We'll be safe here.
Frenchie: Merde!
Zeke: He's right!
Sarge: They're pooping on us! They're pooping in the turret!
Biscuit: IT'S IN MY HAIR IT'S IN MY HAIR IT'S IN MY HAIR.

The room was adequate for our stay and the views were certainly stunning! We could have done with extra towels as we were there for over a week!!
Great location, would stay again
Carpet needs to be deodorized as smells when windows are closed but soon disappears after opening windows . New pillows would be welcome
Fabulous apartment, very spacious and clean, with a gorgeous view of the bridge and cityscape, lovely little touches by the host made us feel at home, very secure building and parking made all the difference I will definitely be booking this apartment again in the future
amazing views of sidney
Appartment is very good located and has space enough for 4 to 5 people (one bedroom for adults, the other bedroom rather for 2-3 kids). Great is tennis-court and pool on the rooftop with amazing few.
The price was rather high and for this, in our opinion all details shoud be perfect (like dishwashing machine must work correctly, all lights should work, no broken chairs).
Very nice spacious apartment with a fantastic view of Sydney. Great location. We really enjoyed our stay.
We stayed at the apartment in April 2015 (2 adults and 2 children) and found it to be excellent. Great location (handy to transport and also easy to walk into town and around), great facilities, spacious, very comfortable and very clean and tidy. The one negative was dealing with Peter and his office staff. When asking for clarification or assistance, they were very defensive and their general communication was not great. Once they sort that out, I would have no hesitation in recommending the apartment as a great place to stay.
Apartment very well located, the whole town can be done on foot
The downside is that this is the same street is very busy and noisy at night.
The pool and rooftop jacuzzi its a real plus
Everything conforms to the description on the website (missing a few dishes when we are still 5)
I highly recommend
Appartement très bien situé, toute la ville peut se faire à pied
L'inconvénient c'est que de ce fait la rue est très passagère et bruyante même la nuit.
La piscine et le jacuzzi sur le toit son un réel plus
Tout est conforme à la description faite sur le site (manque un peu de vaisselle quand même lorsqu'on est 5)
Je recommande vivement
Thank you for the great apartment. It has a great location to public transportation. Everything you need is available (great kitchen, washer, dryer, balcony, ...). The rooftop pool is awesome. Here you have a beautiful view. On the way to the station you pass a supermarket. Everything was clean and tidy on arrival. Would highly recommend it and would like to stay here again at any time. Again a big thank you to Peter, keep it up.
Vielen Dank für das tolle Apartment. Es hat eine super Lage zu den öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln. Alles was man benötigt ist vorhanden (tolle Küche, Waschmaschine, Trockner, Balkon, …). Der Pool auf dem Dach ist genial. Hier hat man eine schöne Aussicht. Auf dem Weg zur Bahn kommt man an einem Supermarkt vorbei. Alles war bei der Ankunft sauber und gepflegt. Kann es nur wärmstens empfehlen und würde hier jederzeit wieder übernachten wollen. Nochmal ein großer Danke an Peter, weiter so.
The apartment was great, the views of the Sydney skyline from the balcony simply stunning! Key collection (pick up at the reception of a hotel) worked without problems.
The apartment itself is decorated very spacious and comfortable, modern and chic 4 adults, only the baths date back to an earlier era ... would be renovated. Very good beds, air conditioning works great. We would come back!
Das Apartment war toll, der Blick auf die Skyline von Sydney vom Balkon einfach atemberaubend! Die Schlüsselübergabe (Abholung am Empfang eines Hotels) funktionierte unproblematisch.
Das Apartment selbst ist für 4 Erwachsene sehr geräumig und komfortabel, modern und chic eingerichtet, nur die Bäder stammen noch aus einer älteren Ära... müssten mal renoviert werden. Sehr gute Betten, Klimaanlage funktioniert hervorragend. Wir würden wiederkommen!

Learn about Lipscomb:Next
Our plans for the next five years are nothing if not ambitious. But that's okay—we've got plenty of energy.
Every piece of Lipscomb:Next is grounded in the institution's values. We are preserving the ideals we've held since 1891 and diligently strengthening them. Here's how.
Lipscomb today
Since 1891, Lipscomb University has been a place where faith and learning go hand in hand.
Every student takes part in regular Bible study and worship, a long-standing requirement established by founders James A. Harding and David Lipscomb. Once a week, we hold The Gathering, where the entire campus comes together in God's name. On other weekdays, students have a choice of smaller chapel experiences, enabling them to celebrate in a more personal way.
As Lipscomb moves into the future, we reaffirm our commitment to foster students' spiritual growth.
We intend to expand the diversity of our campus. Through scholarships and increased international recruiting, we can surmount financial and geographic barriers, allowing more deserving students to benefit from Lipscomb's Christian education. With new technologies, we will give our students better tools to expand their understanding of God.
Lipscomb today
In keeping with our commitment to God, we also commit ourselves to each other.
An array of social activities brings us together. As we purposefully gather as a community, friendships develop and lifelong bonds form. And with thousands of guests visiting campus every year—and countless students, faculty, staff, and graduates working, serving, and worshiping in the area—Lipscomb has become a meaningful contributor and collaborator in Nashville.
Lipscomb:NextAs we move into the next period of our history, we intend to deepen the connections we have and industriously form new ones.
Because shared spaces so often lead to shared experiences, we will improve our physical plant and invest $20 million in residential life. We plan to solicit more international and nontraditional students and more diverse faculty to increase the vibrancy of our school community. Likewise, we commit to greater global engagement through enhanced curricula, travel opportunities, and communication technologies.
Lipscomb today
We maintain David Lipscomb's belief that faith-based education succeeds when it produces a person who is useful. By putting their studies to work, Lipscomb students work toward the greater good.
Lipscomb offers a mix of programs both timeless and timely. We ask students to explore the liberal arts as they master cutting-edge disciplines. Through labs, field experiments, mission trips, and internships, students practice what they're learning as they learn it, graduating with the knowledge and the know-how to work and to serve.
As we improve the quality and range of our academic resources, we will continue to prepare students to do well and to do good.
One of the university's major initiatives will be to grow our offerings in the sciences, pharmacy, and nursing. In response to an ever-increasing need for qualified professionals, we plan to add new health care degrees and build a new space for the School of Nursing. We will also expand in-demand programs, such as business, education, and counseling, and add onto McFarland Science Center.
Lipscomb today
When Lipscomb was founded, the idea of combining faith and learning was groundbreaking. Since then, our appetite for innovation has only grown.
Lipscomb provides students with leading-edge tools and resources. State-of-the art labs, professional-caliber theaters, and interactive classrooms allow students to prepare for what's next in their lives and their careers. We also augment and start programs—such as Pharmacy and Sustainable Practice—that will serve students during their four years on campus and well beyond.
To ensure we're providing students with the very best education, we must continually challenge ourselves to stay current.
Modernized facilities, new workspaces, and cutting-edge technology will help Lipscomb serve the next generation more fully than ever before. We will also found a College of Professional Studies, in which busy, working adults can pursue degree and certificate programs online. We also plan to encourage faculty and student research. While our dedication to teaching remains unchanged, a greater investment in research will result in a richer experience for all.
Lipscomb today
Service is how Christians thank God for His gifts and share His grace with the world.
The Carnegie Foundation recently recognized Lipscomb as a "community-engaged campus," making Lipscomb one of only 311 colleges and universities in the nation to receive this honor. Whether they are mobilizing to help those displaced by flooding, taking part in our annual Service Day, or working with one of 164 partner projects, Lipscomb students dedicate a significant portion of their time and energy to improving the lives of others.
In the coming years, we plan to provide greater assistance to our students as they provide greater assistance to the world.
As an institution, Lipscomb plans to enlarge the scope of those we serve by offering more student scholarships. To us, a Lipscomb education should be dependent upon drive and ability, not finances. Cross-cultural exchange will become a graduation requirement, so that students understand that helping others is not an addition to learning—it's the very reason they learn.

But they're not you. And they shouldn't have all of your baggage, your fear, and your insecurity, and your life experience because that's not fair. They have their own.
Your song is beautiful. It's haunting and moving and it's so you.
...I'm so proud and I'm so impressed and I am so in awe of you."
-mom to daughter, Parenthood
My oldest child is almost ten years old. Yes, I'm shocked.
If I've learned anything about parenting, it's that it gets easier on the mind and harder on the heart. You [kinda] get more sleep, they don't need you as much for the little stuff, they can microwave their own popcorn and make their own sandwiches.
But as they stretch out those legs that won't stop growing, you don't love them any less. You love more. And faster. And you are aware and confused at how un-even it all is. When an act of love is letting go and all you want to do is to hold them tighter.

One of the largest philanthropic events in Charleston will be taking place this Saturday, March 23 at Cannon Park in honor of World Water Day. Now in its seventh year, Water Missions International's Walk for Water invites participants to carry water buckets along a three-mile route, in order to symbolize and experience the daily trek millions of women and children in developing countries make to collect water.
In 2012, more than 2,600 people from throughout the country participated in the Walk for Water, raising over $210,000 for safe water projects worldwide. This year, Water Missions International has set a goal to raise $250,000. With this amount of money, tens of thousands of people currently lacking safe water and sanitation would be provided access for the very first time.
"We are encouraged by the number of community members registered for the Walk for Water this Saturday, and we hope that even more will be able to join us," said Brittany Fogle, special events coordinator for Water Missions International. "The Walk for Water is an eye-opening experience to the reality facing almost 1 billion people every day – lack of safe water. This event invites people here in Charleston to be part of the solution."
During the event, participants will carry buckets that they will fill up with dirty water halfway through the walk. At the conclusion of the walk, the dirty water will then be filtered through Water Missions International's solar-powered Living Water Treatment System, the primary solution used to provide access to safe water in developing nations.
Following the walk, community members are also invited to stay in Cannon Park for family-friendly activities including food, vendors, games and music by Plain Jane. A portion of many vendor proceeds will go back to support Water Missions International.
Established by the United Nations in 1992, World Water Day is held annually on March 22 as a means of focusing attention on the importance of freshwater and advocating for the sustainable management of freshwater resources. Additionally, South Carolina recognizes March 22 as World Water Day and encourages constituents to help ensure that all individuals have equitable and affordable access to this basic resource necessary for life.

I've never written a column for The Sentinel before, but after hearing a story like the one told by Mary Taylor Previte, it is hard not to be moved.
When the Rev. Doug Sabin from Kish Valley Grace Brethren Church in Reedsville first called me to ask if I would like to come interview J. Hudson Taylor's great-granddaughter, I jumped at the chance, knowing the great legacy of her family.
But little did I know that Mary Taylor Previte has her own unique experiences -experiences that hold a message of hope for us today.
Article Photos
Micaiah Wise Bilger
Her story may be deemed tragic by many: During World War II, she was separated from her parents and locked in a concentration camp for three years. The 1,500 prisoners who shared the camp were fed animal feed, given no clothes or supplies and kept to a strict schedule inside the camp walls. The dread of knowing what was happening to other prisoners in their situation caused terror for many in that camp.
But Previte would not share the same thoughts of fear and horror about her story. To Previte, her story is one of opportunity and faith in God.
Through her eyes as a child of 9, the imprisonment was not the terrible, awful experience most would believe. Because of the faith and insight of Previte's school teachers, she and the other children were sheltered from the horrors of prison life.
Today, as a retired teacher and politician from New Jersey, Previte tells her story to church congregations and school children across the country.
She shares that the impact she has made by telling her story is far greater than any tragedy that occurred in her years as a child.
Through her experiences, she said she also ministered to her former teachers as well as the American soldiers who rescued them from the camp in 1945.
Wow! Her story really struck me, as it may many who are watching what is happening in our nation - unrest and uncertainty with the economy and the war in Iraq, political scandals, dissatisfaction with our current leaders.
Will things get worse before they get better? Are we headed for another depression? These questions probably are sticking in the back of many Americans' minds right now.
I am a worrier, and watching the unstable economy slump into recession has caused many a perturbed thought in my mind.
But talking with Mary Taylor Previte reminded me that despite horrible circumstances - imprisonment in a Japanese concentration camp, slop for food and separation from loving parents - God works everything together for a purpose.
Good can come from the horror, the depravity, the sorrow, just as it did for Previte.
I was reminded that no matter what happens to our beloved America - prosperity or depression, peace or war, life or death - God will watch over his people, just as he did 9-year-old Mary Taylor Previte.

Rockefeller Institute report: The Great Recession caused the biggest cuts in state and local government employment nationwide in 50 years
The Great Recession led to the largest cuts in state and local government employment across the country in the last 50 years, according to a report released today by the Nelson A. Rockefeller Institute of Government in Albany, N.Y.
It matters because state and local governments employ 19 million people, accounting for 14 percent of all U.S. employment.
The report authors Lucy Dadayan and Donald Boyd conclude that "the sharp declines in public employment may reduce the quality and quantity of government services."
Combined state and local government employment fell 2.5 percent (-489,000 jobs) since the start of the Great Recession in December 2007 to December.
The percentage declines are even higher when using peak employment levels (August 2008): state and local government employment fell 3.4 percent or 681,000 jobs.
Texas saw a 1.5 percent decline in state government and a 0.2 percent increase in local government jobs in that period. (State employment data for December will be released on Jan. 18.)
Overall, 34 states saw declines in state and local government employment from their peak in August 2008 through November.
Local governments were hit the hardest, losing 2.5 percent of the workforce since the Great Recession began (or 3.7 percent since the peak). Most local job cuts were in education, mainly K-12 schools.
State governments lost 2.5 percent of their workforce since the Great Recession began (or a 3.4 percent since peak levels). Most of the job cuts were in government-type jobs.
The state government declines during the Great Recession weren't as steep as after the 1980 double-dip recession. The demand for higher education tends to rise in recessions due to the scarcity of jobs and a growing demand by employers for higher skilled workers.
The Rockefeller Institute found some regional patterns from August 2008 through November:
– Most of the oil-rich states, including Texas, reported growth in state and local government jobs. Wyoming and Utah, both oil-rich states, reported the largest growth in state and local government employment (9.2 percent and 5.9 percent, respectively).
– All of the Northeastern states saw declines in state and local government employment.

Dorothy Mae Huffman, 81, a resident of Good Samaritan Village in Geneseo, formerly of Galva, passed away at 3:55 a.m. Monday, June 24, 2013 at the village.
She was born Oct. 16, 1931 in Galva, the daughter of Harvey and Pearl (Lempke) Huffman.
Survivors include three sisters, Doris Harper and Mary Ann Haff, both of Geneseo, and Betty Turner of Galva; 10 nieces and nephews and several great-nieces and great-nephews and great-great-nieces and great-great-nephews.
She was preceded in death by her parents; two brothers-in-law, John Turner and James Haff, and a great nephew, Brian DeCrane.
Dorothy was a homemaker and in her earlier years was a member of Home Extension.

At this year's SXSW, one of the strongest B2B social media sessions was the panel "Social Media in the Underground World of B2B." The panel provided eye-opening insight and touched on some unexpected topics, making it an invaluable learning session for B2B marketers.
The presenters included Duane Schulz from Xerox Corporation (@duaneschulz), Jeanette Gibson from Cisco Systems (@JeanetteG), Shanee Ben-Zur from NVIDIA (@sbenzur), Susan Emerick (@sfemerick) from IBM and Melissa Chanslor from Text 100 (@Chanslor).
The panel opened by covering social strategy and engagement. The panelists agreed that the best place to start B2B social media marketing is where your audience is. Identify areas where key decision makers spend their time. Shape your engagement strategy around where those prospects are. Use listening tools, participate in the conversation, and measure effectiveness.
Unique Idea #1: Use Facebook and OpenID for B2B Website Login
Show the connection from social to sales. Cisco Systems is using Facebook and OpenID for login on their website. It's led to a 40% reduction in cost and has increased event registration by 20%.
When it comes to participation, find the best social citizens within your organization to enact the social strategy. Enable them to be true representatives of the brand. By recruiting the right subject experts internally, brands can bring value to the conversation. And no one knows your brand better than your employees, so enable them and make sure they reflect your brand properly.
IBM stresses the importance of their people understanding that they represent the brand, and if they do it well, customers will become brand ambassadors too.
Adoption among employees is key. Engaged employees equals engaged customers. So how do you get employees to adopt social media? Expose them to it.
Unique Idea #2: Conversation Starters
NVIDIA and Cisco System have large LCD screens that display real-time Twitter streams and other social conversations in high traffic areas of their office (meeting areas, near bathrooms, etc.). Employees routinely stop to see what is being mentioned about their brand online. This tactic leads to employee engagement.
When asked about B2B social media challenges, the panelists pointed to ROI and internal resources being the biggest obstacles.
On the topic of ROI, panelists noted that social media ROI can't always be measured. They recommended creating benchmarks and showing growth over time. Show that you changed a trend.
Shanee Ben-Zur from NVIDIA provided additional insight: "Your business objectives should guide you to what you should measure. Tie social back to the original objective and use that as the measurement standard."
Dwayne Schulz said that Xerox is not worrying about ROI for the next 2 years. Their goal is to create a literate community within their organization first.
Unique Idea #3: Gamification
Many B2B marketers may feel that gamification is only for consumer marketing, but rewarding people for participation and incentivizing behavior are tactics B2B marketers can employ too. Integrate game mechanics into an interaction to emotionally engage and empower users.
IBM and Cisco are using gamification now. "IBM is using gamification internally to build leaders through rewards and recognition" mentioned Susan Emerick. And Jeanette Gibson from Cisco Systems mentioned how they were using it on their blog. "You can get badges for sign up, reading, commenting, sharing, etc."
Although the panel covered several other notable points, these topics seemed to generate the most interest from the session attendees. And with good reason- all are unique concepts that help these notable brands achieve success with their B2B social media marketing.
Are you using any of these unique B2B social media ideas? Share your thoughts, stories and feedback in the comments.

From The Shambhala Dictionary of Buddhism and Zen translated by Michael H. Kohn; © 1991 by Shambhala Publications, Inc. Reprinted by arrangement with Shambhala Publications, Inc., www.shambhala.com
Skt., lit., "enlightenment being"; in Mahāyāna Buddhism a bodhisattva is a being who seeks buddhahood through the systematic practice of the perfect virtues (pāramitā) but renounces complete entry into nirvāna until all beings are saved. The determining factor for his action is compassion (karunā), supported by highest insight and wisdom (prajñā). A bodhisattva provides active help, is ready to take upon himself the suffering of all other beings, and to transfer his own karmic merit to other beings. The way of a bodhisattva begins with arousing the thought of enlightenment (bodhichitta) and taking the bodhisattva vow (pranidhāna). The career of a bodhisattva is divided into ten stages (bhūmi). The bodhisattva ideal replaced in Mahāyāna the Hīnayāna ideal of the arhat, whose effort is directed towards the attainment of his own liberation.

Norquist may be a whipping boy in D.C., but he's a hero to beleaguered taxpayers
Editor's note: William F. Shughart II is the J. Fish Smith Professor in Public Choice at the Jon M. Huntsman School of Business. The column below was syndicated by McClatchy/Tribune News Service and will run in newspapers around the country. It has already run in the Kansas City Star, The Bellingham Herald in Washington State, Newsday, The Deseret News and the Anchorage Daily News. Below is a link to it from the Kansas City Star.
By WILLIAM F. SHUGHART II
Grover Norquist has become one of Washington's favorite whipping boys, but taxpayers owe him thanks for focusing needed attention on the real problem in Washington: excessive spending, rather than too-little taxing.
Norquist's "No Tax Pledge" does exactly that.
Excessive spending is the cause of Washington's unprecedented trillion-dollar budget deficits in recent years and spending is the best measure of the burden the federal government imposes on the economy.

Good string. I especially like the first couple pages which was essentially discussing what amounts to the use of deadly force and the interpretation of what stopping an attack entails.
Those of use who have served in the military learned that deadly force is that amount of force which I know, or should know, will cause serious bodily harm or death, to be used as a last resort when all lesser means have failed or cannot reasonably be employed. And we learned all the times when deadly force is authorized...but the only time it's really applicable to us as civilians is when you fear for your life or the life of another. (Yes, I'm perfectly aware that many states allow the protection of property here...that's a legal distinction. In my opinion, just because something is legal doesn't mean it's always the moral or ethical thing to do. I leave that as your call, based on your own laws and morals.)
The key here is "fear for your life or the life of another".
To that end, we don't draw a weapon on another human being unless we truely believe it's a "him or me" situation...that either yourself or another human being is going to suffer serious bodily harm or death if you do not.
Yes, the mere fact that you have drawn a weapon MAY deter the aggressor.
Yes, the mere fact that you may shoot and miss MAY deter the aggressor.
Yes, the mere fact that you may wound MIGHT deter the aggressor.
But these things are incidental to the decision to apply deadly force and they cannot be depended upon. When circumstances conspire to the point where the weapon is drawn, you're saying that applying deadly force is REQUIRED. And THAT is the mind set which is required until the threat no longer exists.
When attacked in such a life-threatening scenario, you don't have time, nor any business, to do anything but apply the maximum amount of force you are able, in the most effective way possible.
If, during this process, the attack is stopped without involving a death...great. Then the need for deadly force at that time no longer exists and it should no longer be applied. (Though you should be on your guard.)
I love the OP because it focuses on the reality of what it means to effectively and reliably apply deadly force with a shotgun. You don't go half-measures, because anything less than deadly is not something that you can rely upon. You don't rely on folk tales about home loaded rounds with dimes or salt. You don't use unproven ammunition obviously hyped for marketing purposes.
And you DON'T go into an application of deadly force expecting less than deadly means to work, nor do you do it believing that the law will look upon you fondly if you do.
I prefer 00 buck in my 12 ga. I will use whatever I have handy, regardless. And I will not stop applying deadly force (by any means) until the threat is ended or I am no longer able to defend myself.

Tried that 3" 4 Buck today.
Far too much recoil for a home defense load, and the pattern wasn't anything impressive.

3 inches is too much
3 inch would be too much for me also, I limit myself to 2 3/4 #4 buck , 00 buck and slugs. As far as I'm concerned I see no need for a 3 inch shell but then I'm not shooting ducks or turkeys

Since the largest shot I can find is #5 turkey I will stick with a 3 inch shell to give those little suckers as much umph as I can.
Someday things will get better and I will be able to get some buckshot.

Lots of good info here, but I was wondering if there is a good "practice"
round that won't break the bank... Saw a case (250) of #7 birdshot for
$70 (Estate Brand) and wondered if it would be a waste of time? Different
recoil ot just totally different patterning? LMK!

You definitely want to practice with what you're going to use, when it comes to shotguns. You'll find that everything patterns differently, so try to train with what you are going to use. I used to use Federal XM12700 before it went up in price. Used to be $99 for 175 rounds plus a new ammo can. Now I think it's about $150. IF you can find it in-stock. Of course if you're into the FliteControl stuff, that's a little harder to buy in bulk or for a good price.
And fyi, you can get 100 round boxes of birdshot for $20 at walmart. 3 of them would be $60 and you'd get 300 rounds.

To the Slug guys, If I am going to launch a single projectile I prefer to to it from a platform designed for that purpose. Some thing with sights and rifling.
At across the room distances shot size is less important than shot placement. The room broom myth has led many to believe all they have to do it stick the muzzle in a crack in a door an anything in the room will be hit. Not so. At 10 to 20 feet the shot will still be tightly bunched you need to aim. Point an pray is not going to cut it.

A little disheartened
I biught a sweet Sroger 20 ga SxS as a back-up gun for ny 12 ga bd especally because both the wife and I have weak left sholders from injuries. At the beginning of this string I read that you should use no buckshot larger THAN #2 in a 20 ga! Right now #4 is really hard to find with the ammo panic.
as I said. the 20 is a back-up and loaded with a heavy #4 Phesant load, does some real damage at 15 ft! The wife can handle the recoil of the plesant shooting Uplander So untill I find that #4 Buckshot we will have to use it with Phesant loads and slugs (I dunno about her and slugs???)
I just mounted a slip-om KickEEZ. I opted for the slip-on because in the past slip-on's have giben me a better recoil reduction. It;s like the air pocket adds to the dampening effect! Heck. get all you can when it comes to recoil reduction!
The Stoger SxS came with a good factory mounted pad that honestly reduces Target loads and
felt recoil to that of my RWS 52 Magnum Air rifle!
Teamwork seems to be the answer to home defense for us!
I foresee the need for some pretty well thought out pratice.
We have to divide the house into defensible quadrents. Teamwork!

People would do far better understanding the laws regarding the use of deadly force in their jurisdiction and making darn sure they meet the wickets for a justifiable shooting should all else fail them. It's these details which are far more likely to fry someone on a self-defense shooting in court.
Here's a short string I found on this:
The biggest issue with handloads seems to be more from a forensics standpoint than from a legal attack by a lawyer. Forensics experts have a much more difficult time pasting together all the details of a shooting from handloads of non-standard factory loads or otherwise unknown variables.

FWIW, In my Mossberg 500 12ga, I have 6x (1 chamber, 5 mag) #4 buck. Read many places that #4-#1 buck can stop the perp without too much peripheral damage. Larger goes through the body and takes out your water heater etc. Gun is hot (but with safety on) at all times. Funny story: had just come from Sporting Clays range and swapped 28 field barrel for 18.5 tactical. Doorbell rang. Was a solicitor (despite multiple signs). Walked to door with 12ga. 68# dog was right next to me. Opened door, asked solicitor whether he was unable to read the signs. When he saw me (I look like a Viking Berserker), 6# coal black dog, and 12ga locked and cocked, he rapidly retreated. I suspect I am no longer on his solicitation list.

Lowest I would go is #1 buck, which size and pellet count is a good load for man. 0 buck, then 00 buck are also good.
Here is something to throw in there. OK, you hear the clumsy boots up at the top. And two more pairs in the kitchen. You slowly approach, and peek out as the suspect is looking into the first room, and see he is armed with a Kalashnikov. Now what? Do you feel sufficient enough with what you have loaded? What do you do now? You have about a second to react. What are you going to do? If someone is going to perpetrate a home invasion, it's a good chance they will be armed and have accomplices.

I always shoot to stop, not kill. If the slug in the heart happens to kill the subject, Oh Well.
I presently have 10 25 round boxes of 2 3/4" 9 pellet 12ga shells left over from the Rodney King Riots. However my main SD weapon is my Sig 226 357Sig or .40 depending on which barrel I have in it.
