The Easter Eggstravaganza at Middleton Place is a long-standing spring tradition. On Saturday, March 30, families are invited to visit the National Historic Landmark and take part in an exciting day of Easter traditions. But the event is far from the usual Easter Egg Hunt. The Eggstravaganza will send the fun into overdrive with the addition of activities like the egg toss, egg roll, egg dying, a reading of classic children's tales, and a variety of colonial games.
After a brief orientation for visitors, the Easter Bunny will kick off the egg hunts. Un-dyed, hard-boiled eggs will be hidden among Middleton Place's ancient Live Oaks and beautifully manicured lawns in three hunt locations separated by age group. Ceramic, hand-painted prize eggs will also be hidden. Prizes will be given to each child who finds one of these special eggs. Elevating the drama of the Easter egg hunt further, one purple ceramic egg will be hidden among the others in each age group. The children who find a purple egg will receive a prize, and their family will be registered for a drawing to win the Grand Prize: a Middleton Place Foundation annual membership for four.
After the hunt, children and their parents are invited to the Plantation Stableyards to dye their eggs and craft "sheep eggs" and "Easter crowns." Later in the day, an egg toss will be held on the Greensward and an egg roll will take place down Middleton Place's rolling terraces. The Easter Bunny will make a special appearance on the Parterre at 11:30 a.m., and will be available to meet and greet children and take photos. Additionally, children can play colonial games such as rolling hoops on the Greensward.
Around mid-day, classic stories, including The Tale of Peter Rabbit and The Country Bunny and The Little Golden Shoes, will be read aloud as families gather under the shade of magnolia trees overlooking the main parterre. Eggstravaganza activities will take place until 2 p.m., but families may linger at Middleton Place and delight in the day's regular activities all afternoon. Visitors can take a tour of the Gardens and see the azaleas at their most colorful, view heritage breed livestock and visit the artisan craft shops in the Stableyards, or tour the House Museum. The Middleton Place Restaurant will also be open, serving Low Country fare all day.
Gates open at 9 a.m. Easter Eggstravaganza starts at 10:30. There is no additional charge beyond general admission to participate in Easter Eggstravaganza, and the event is free to Middleton Place Foundation members and guests of the Inn at Middleton Place. For more information on the Eggstravaganza or to purchase tickets in advance, go to www.MiddletonPlace.org.
The mission of the Middleton Place Foundation, a public non-profit educational trust, is to sustain the highest levels of preservation and interpretation for the collections and programs of the Middleton Place National Historic Landmark, its Gardens, House, Plantation Stableyards and affiliated properties, such as the Edmondston-Alston House.

World Conferences and the Cheapening of International Norms

Saint Louis-Warsaw Transatlantic Law, Vol. 9, 1995
Northwestern Public Law Research Paper No. 10-65
As long as we understand that world conferences only address problems, we will not be disappointed in them. We will only be disappointed if we think that a world conference is supposed to solve problems. Is there any point in getting a lot of people together, at great expense, just to address a problem without any prospect of solving it? My answer is a qualified yes. A world conference is a cultural artifact. It has an impact upon our collective sense of civilization.

INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. - A fever is a natural part of a child's immune response. When it is functioning at its absolute best, a child's body will fight off most foreign invaders so swiftly that they will have no outward effect at all. However, when necessary, a child's immune system will raise his or her temperature to create a hostile environment for that invader. It's how a healthy body functions.Simply put, our body's first line of defense when invaded by a virus or bacteria is specialized white blood cells. A strong, healthy immune system may be able to eliminate the invaders with this first step alone. If the white blood cells fail to contain the bugs, then the brain recognizes there is an invader and raises the body temperature to assist in killing it off.This elevated temperature will generally be just a couple of degrees, but the brain determines the degrees based on the potency of invaders and what will be necessary to eliminate the bug. If the infection is severe then the body temperature rises accordingly. For every degree the body temperature rises, the white blood cells travel twice as fast.For all children above the age of 3 months, a fever is actually a good thing. It's a sign that their immune system is functioning properly. Although many parents will panic when their child has a temperature above 98.6 F, the reality is that children's temperature may naturally run a little higher than what many consider the norm.
A low-grade fever is anything between 100 F and 102.2 F. This level of fever is beneficial and will assist in defending the body from most bugs that a child will be exposed to.A moderate-grade fever is between 102.2 F and 104.5 F. This temperature is still considered beneficial; if a child's body has reached this temperature, it's what's needed to kill whatever bacteria or virus their body is attempting to fight.A high-fever is a fever greater than 104.5 F. This fever will cause your child some discomfort and result in crankiness. Generally indicative of a bacterial infection, this fever means that the body is fighting something a little more serious than the common cold. While it will not cause brain damage or any other harm to a child, it is wise to seek assistance from a medical provider.A serious fever is one that is at or above 106 F; this fever can be harmful. Seek immediate assistance from a medical provider for any fever above 104.5 F.
Fevers that are caused by the body's immune system are not dangerous, and the brain will control the body temperature and not allow it to get so high as to cause harm. While it can be frightening to have a child running a moderate to high fever, it is simply their body doing what it was designed to do. The only body temperature that can actually cause brain damage is 108 F.What about fever reducers? Since it is a very rare fever that can actually cause any kind of harm to a child, the best response is to let it run its course; most fevers will resolve themselves in 24 to 72 hours. Parents should be aware that fevers will naturally spike a little in the late afternoon and evening, so a slight increase in temperature during these times is not a cause for alarm.A wait-and-watch approach should be recommended, rather than turning to over-the-counter medicines. The risks associated with these chemicals far outweigh any potential danger from the fever.The typical over-the-counter drug is going to contain acetaminophen (Tylenol), which may cause liver damage. Other fever reducers include ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil), which can cause stomach upset, and aspirin has been associated with Reye's syndrome when given to children. Reye's syndrome is a combination of symptoms including nausea, vomiting, confusion, headache and/or nightmares.The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) does not recommend fever-reducing drugs: "Fever is not an infection." Even in cases of high temperatures, the AAP says, "Fevers generally do not need to be treated with medication unless your child is uncomfortable or has a history of febrile convulsions. The fever may be important in helping your child fight the infection."The best response to a fever below 104.5 F (40 C) for children over the age of 3 years is lots of rest and clear fluids. Since fevers may cause the child to sweat, parents need to be aware that they will lose sodium and water, which must be replaced with proper fluids. This does not include Gatorade or other sugary sports drinks.
Parents should contact the child's health care provider right away if any of the following occur:• A child younger than 3 months is running any grade of fever.• A child between 3 months and 3 years has a temperature above 102.2 F and appears ill (it should be noted that even teething may cause a slight increase in temperature).• A child of any age has a temperature over 104.5 F (40 C). Additionally, since dehydration is a potential side effect of fever, watch your child for the following: dry mouth, lack of urine or lack of wet diapers, dry skin, irritability, fatigue, or with an older child, dizziness. These signs of dehydration may be a concern and the child should be seen by a health care professional, especially if they are unable to keep down clear fluids.It is important to note that in children under the age of 5 years, a fever can also lead to a seizure, known as a febrile seizure. However, while this can be frightening, it will typically have no lasting effects.- Rodney Shoemaker, DC, works with Incline Chiropractic Natural Health Center, located at 894 Southwood Blvd. in Incline Village.

The 4 Traits That Put Kids at Risk for Addiction
September 29, 2016,
Felty syndrome is a disorder that involves rheumatoid arthritis, a swollen spleen, decreased white blood cell count, and repeated infections. It is rare.
The cause of Felty syndrome is unknown. It is more common in people who have had rheumatoid arthritis for a long time. People with this syndrome are at risk of infection because they have a low white blood cell count.
A physical exam will show:
A complete blood count ( CBC) may show a lower number of white blood cells called neutrophils.
An abdominal ultrasound may confirm a swollen spleen.
Persons with this syndrome are usually already receiving treatment for rheumatoid arthritis. They may need other medicines to suppress their immune system.
Methotrexate may improve the low white blood cell count.
Some people benefit from removal of the spleen (splenectomy).
Infections may continue to occur.
Rheumatoid arthritis is likely to get worse.
You may have infections that keep coming back.
Call your health care provider if you develop symptoms of this disorder.
Prompt treatment of rheumatoid arthritis may decrease the risk of developing Felty syndrome.

Hoard's Dairyman article: Top five considerations for superior calf housing
Top five considerations for superior calf housing
by Neil Broadwater
The author is a dairy extension educator with the University of Minnesota and is based at Rochester, Minn.
There isn't a "best" calf housing design, but here are the five things
you must consider with each design.
Dairy replacement calves are raised in many different kinds of facilities, whether it be a new or remodeled building, hutch, or other type of concept that fits the farm. What is the "best" housing design for raising dairy calves? The simple answer is there is no "best" design. However, every design involves trade-offs. Choosing the right calf facility depends on the capital and labor resources available as well as your needs and management style.
Calf housing doesn't have to be expensive, but it needs to be as labor efficient as possible without any sacrifice to animal health or performance. A well-designed facility can still result in sick calves if not properly managed. The facility also needs to be flexible to changing calf numbers that occur from time to time. In order for a calf housing system to be successful, there are important fundamentals that need to be incorporated into the design related to ventilation, comfort, pen size and calves per pen, labor efficiency, and cost effectiveness.
The goal is to provide fresh air to remove harmful airborne organisms, minimize dust, eliminate noxious odors, remove excess moisture and heat without causing a draft on the calf. Do not compromise on this goal as it will affect calf performance and health. Ventilation requirements change with age. Calves up to 2 months of age need a ventilation rate of 100 cubic feet per minute (cfm) of air in hot weather, 50 cfm in mild weather, and 15 cfm in cold weather. Calves from 2 to 12 months of age need a ventilation rate of 130 cfm during hot weather, 60 cfm during mild weather, and 20 cfm during cold weather. An open front facility needs a ridge opening so warm, moist air can move up and out of the building.
Calves need a dry, draft-free environment. Calves can maintain a relatively constant body temperature when the environmental temperatures range between 45° and 80° F. Their optimal outdoor temperature is around 70° F. For most newborn calves, the lower critical temperature is around 50° F. In tightly closed, insulated buildings, supplemental heat may be needed to reduce temperature fluctuations during cold weather. Housing systems that place calves on cold concrete, rubber mats, sand, mattresses, and slatted floors can cause net energy loss and even be too cold to allow resting.
Relative humidity needs to stay between 50 to 70 percent. The facility design should include features that allow temperature and humidity adjustments when they are outside the acceptable range. Calf hutches need to be designed to allow air movement but be protected from the wind and placed on well-drained material so urine and rainfall moves away from the calf resting area.
Isolation or group housing
Isolating young calves from birth to at least two weeks after weaning is important to prevent transmitting diseases to each other. Each calf pen is a micro-environment within the overall facility, so each pen needs to meet calf comfort standards. Calf pens should be separated by a solid panel and perhaps extended a foot to prevent nose-to-nose contact and control drafts, but the ends and top of the pens should be open. During cold temperatures, use deep bedding so the calf can stay warmer by "nesting" which provides a layer of warm air around itself and reducing its lower critical temperature. Calves (all breeds) from birth to 2 months of age in individual pens should have 30 square feet per animal (Penn State Housing Plans, NRAES-201). If using hutches, place them at least 2 feet apart.
Some calf raisers have installed computerized calf feeders to reduce labor and simplify calf chores during the preweaning period. The design of the facility needs to allow the computer feeders to stay warm and a place to store data files nearby. Raising preweaned calves in a group does pose greater risk than in isolation as disease can more easily be passed to other calves. It can be successful, but top management, keen observation, and constant monitoring (each calf, not just how they are doing as a group) are important to stay ahead of problems.
Postweaned calves should be grouped by age and size with three to five animals per group. At about 4 months of age, groups of six to 12 are acceptable. Don't overcrowd.
Overcrowding can cause stress and contribute to digestive upsets and diseases. Calves (all breeds) housed in groups from 2 to 4 months of age should have 30 square feet per animal and 40 square feet from 4 to 8 months of age. Calves 3 to 8 months of age need 4 inches of bunk space if hay or silage is always available or 12 inches if fed grain or TMR. If all animals eat at once, 3- to 4-month-old calves need 12 inches of bunk space and 18 inches for 5- to 8-month-old calves.
Labor efficient
The type and design of calf housing can have a large influence on labor efficiency. Ease of feeding, manure removal, bedding, and animal restraint all affect labor efficiency. Delivery of milk, grain, and water should be easy and convenient for both calves and calf feeder. The facility design should include appropriate locations for gates to allow ease of sorting and catching of calves for vaccinations and other management tasks. The pen arrangement should allow for ease of adding bedding and removing manure.
Cost considerations
There is a large variation in housing costs for raising dairy calves. Some alternative housing structures can be more cost-effective initially but may end up being more costly over the anticipated life of the structure than a more permanent structure. One type of facility may save more costs than others when it comes to feed shrinkage, labor, bedding, veterinary care, maintenance and repair, and utility costs. Remodeling an existing or unused building may be tempting, but it has to meet the environmental and management needs with cost-effective modifications. Remember, cutting corners just to save construction costs could jeopardize other more important efficiencies and fundamentals.
There is not a "best" design that fits everyone, but there may be a best one for you. Many issues will influence the type of calf facility decided, including the resources you have available and your specific needs and management style. However, every design must include these basic fundamentals to help assure the investment will be successful in providing excellent calf health and performance.

UNIVERSITY PARK - Central Florida owns two commanding victories in two weeks - a 38-7 beatdown of Akron and a 38-0 shutout of Florida International University - but coach George O'Leary was not all positive in his Monday teleconference previewing this week's game at Penn State.
"I thought last week, we went out, and I thought we made good effort, not really a smart effort," O'Leary said. "I thought we played with good effort both sides of the ball and special teams. I think we got to play smarter in certain situations, offensively and defensively, and again it's a work in progress."
O'Leary went on to say his team has to stress the fundamentals and smart play on the field, which is something the Knights will continue to work on in practice.
While all the focus coming into the game may be on Penn State's true freshman quarterback, Christian Hackenberg, Central Florida's quarterback will be a major obstacle for the Nittany Lions.
A large part of the Knights' 2-0 success belongs to Blake Bortles. The redshirt junior has accumulated 528 yards and four touchdowns in the first two games, with a completion percentage just shy of 70 and no interceptions.
Much like Hackenberg's 45-yard electrifying touchdown throw to Allen Robinson, Bortles' Saturday night was highlighted by a 59-yard toss to Rannell Hall that set up a touchdown in the second quarter.
"We did some good things on offense," Bortles told reporters after the game. "It was a good performance, a good win."
Bortles and Hackenberg both had slow starts in their respective last games, but both picked it up and posted big numbers when all was said and done last Saturday.
O'Leary praised Hackenberg Monday, and said the Virginia native is not playing like a true freshman.
He doesn't make a lot of mistakes. He knows where to deliver the ball," O'Leary said. "He has the arm strength, he has the size, and obviously he must have the knowledge, too, because he has the ability to take a bad play and make a good play out of it. I think they got themselves a whale of a quarterback."
O'Brien joined O'Leary's Georgia Tech staff in 1995 as a graduate assistant and climbed his way through the Yellow Jackets' staff to offensive coordinator in 2001.
Monday, O'Leary said O'Brien had great work habits and he was always looking to get better during their days at Georgia Tech.
"He came in and was a young, enthusiastic guy that couldn't get enough knowledge, worked at the game extremely hard and usually good things happen to guys like that," O'Leary said. "He worked his way up through the ranks and to the point where he's at now, where he's a very successful coach. But he worked hard to get where he was at."

New York Strippers Drugged Men, Stole Their Money, Prosecutors Say
Four strippers and a club manager have been charged with picking up professional men at bars, drugging them and then stealing their money, law-enforcement authorities said Wednesday.
Samantha Barbash, Roselyn Keo, Karina Pascucci, Marsi Rosen and Carmine Vitolo were each charged with conspiracy and other financial crimes, said Bridget Brennan, New York City's Special Narcotics Prosecutor.
Karina Pascucci and Carmine Vitolo were arraigned Wednesday afternoon before Judge Bonnie Wittner in Manhattan Supreme Court. Both pleaded not guilty. Mr. Vitolo was released pending further court proceedings. Ms. Ms. Pascucci was released on $5,000 cash bail.
On Tuesday, Ms. Barbash was held on $10,000 cash bail. Ms. Keo and Ms. Rosen were held on $5,000 each. All three pleaded not guilty to the charges.
The five are accused of stealing about $200,000 from four victims's credit cards between September and December 2013, prosecutors said. The men work in medicine, finance and law.
The women met the men at city restaurants for dates or introduced themselves at bars, prosecutors said. They are charged with then slipping them men a tranquilizer, cocaine, or another drug, prosecutors said.
While the men were drugged, the women are charged with taking them to Scores New York, on West 28th Street in Manhattan, or RoadHouse NYC Gentlemen's Club in College Point, Queens.
The women took the men to private rooms, officials said. While inside, the women would take the men's identification and credit cards, officials said.
They charged tens of thousands of dollars to the cards by forging the victim's signature or concealing the true amount of the charge from the victim, officials said. The charges ranged from $5,000 to more than $100,000, officials said.
Assistant District Attorney Eryck Kratville said Mr. Vitolo was a manager at Roadhouse, and was directly involved in deciding how much money should be taken from the victims. His attorney, Brian Pakett, said in court that his client was "completely and utterly shocked at the allegation," adding, "this is a 43-year-old man with no convictions on his record whatsoever."
Ms. Pascucci's lawyer, Patrick Parrotta, noted that the 26-year-old was gainfully employed and that it was her first arrest.
"This repugnant scheme involved not only the theft of $200,000, but compromised the health, safety and security of victims by covertly giving them harmful substances," Ms. Brennan said. "The defendants were banking on the victims being too afraid to contact the police, but as the indictment and arrests show, they made a serious miscalculation."
The arrests were the result of an eight-month investigation by the New York Police Department, Ms. Brennan's office, and the federal Drug Enforcement Administration.

WSDAPI - Ralf Beckers about Web Services on Devices for Windows Embedded Standard 2009
- Posted: Apr 26, 2010 at 1:42AM
Right click "Save as…"
Ralf Beckers is a software developer at the Microsoft Embedded Systems Development Center (MESDC) in Aachen, Germany. In this video, Ralf provides a short introduction to the MESDC and then dives into a discussion of the "Web Services on Devices" stack for Windows Embedded Standard 2009.
"Web Services on Devices" API (WSDAPI) is Microsoft's interoperable implementation of Device Profile for Web Services. WSDAPI can be used for easy SOAP based communications between devices (including those that are embedded) and clients. Because the DPWS is an open specification, compatibility with other implementations is ensured. Microsoft's WSDAPI not only offers a complete set of APIs, it also features a code generation utility that enables developers to focus on core functionality of the device and not on the communication.

(Oh, bee tee dubs, she's ONE YEARS OLD WITH THIRTEEN YEARS WORTH OF OPINIONS.)
As I was pushing her in the cart to the parking lot, an old man was sitting in a car nearby, with his window down, and he said "Can I look at your baby?"
I obliged, and Ivy smiled and he went on about how special children are, what a blessing, and I agreed.
And he was one of thirteen children, and told me a story, "My Mama always said if there are children in heaven, then I don't want to go there."
And he laughed. And told me that story again like he hadn't just seconds before.

Boeing Co. said today it will invest another $1 billion and add at least 2,000 jobs at its North Charleston 787 campus by 2020, citing steep demand for commercial airplanes over the next two decades.
The company's "phase two" growth plans are expected to be part of in a bill to be introduced around noon in the General Assembly in Columbia.
The Post and Courier reported the deal today.
"We do intend to grow," said Jack Jones, Boeing South Carolina vice president and general manager.
Jones briefly addressed the expansion in his opening remarks at an aerospace conference taking place at Charleston Place today.
"I understand we're in the news this morning," Jones said.
It's no secret that Boeing has had growth on its mind, but it has declined to specify what those plans were. Last year, the Chicago-based company bought the S.C. Research Authority office complex next to its existing 787 campus, which has about 6,000 workers. More recently, it has been in serious talks with Charleston International Airport about buying 320 acres across the road from its local factories.
It also has locked up the rights to purchase another 765 acres.
"This is an expansion on a whole new level," Gov. Nikki Haley said Monday.
"I think what we're seeing is a new phase of building airplanes in South Carolina," Haley told The Post and Courier.
Boeing South Carolina spokeswoman Candy Eslinger confirmed the growth plan today.
"Since 2009, Boeing has invested more than $1 billion in land, facilities, infrastructure and tooling in South Carolina, and today we have more than 6,000 teammates working at the Boeing sites in the state," Eslinger told the Associated Press. "With unprecedented demand for commercial airplanes including a forecast of another 34,000 airplanes required over the next 20 years Boeing is positioned for significant and sustained growth in the years ahead."
While details remain scant, lawmakers have been told the company will establish an information technology "center of excellence" in North Charleston that would create about 1,000 jobs. The rest would be made up of 787 engineers and production employees.
An operations center for the 747 Dreamlifter cargo jet that delivers 787 components and a new paint facility also are part of the proposal.
"I believe you'll see they'll be adding other enterprises," said state Commerce Secretary Bobby Hitt, who stressed "there's no talk" about building an entirely different aircraft in North Charleston.
Hitt also said the state in discussions with Boeing suppliers that are interested in setting up operations in South Carolina to be closer to the 787 assembly plant.
"This has statewide benefits," Hitt said.
Boeing assembles the 787 Dreamliner in North Charleston and Everett, Wash.
It is pushing to boost its production rate in South Carolina to three a month by the end of the year, but the latest expansion suggests that number will go higher.
House Speaker Bobby Harrell, R-Charleston, and state Sen. Hugh Leatherman, R-Florence, said they will co-sponsor a bill providing $120 million to offset some of Boeing's upfront expansion costs, such as site preparation work, road improvements and utility expenses. The money would be raised by selling state-backed bonds, they said Monday.
Both lawmakers expect the bill to pass and for Haley to sign it into law.
"The takeaway is that Boeing is doing very well in South Carolina, and South Carolina is doing very well because of Boeing," Harrell said. "So both of us want to expand its presence dramatically."
He said the company is looking past the battery issues that have grounded the 787 since January. Boeing said Friday that a demonstration flight that day marked the completion of the testing required by the Federal Aviation Administration.
"My goodness, Boeing is a company that thinks decades into the future, so the battery issue is something they'll have to deal with, but they're planning way beyond that right now," Harrell said.
Haley and Harrell predicted that the job and investment estimates Boeing has provided are conservative based on its past track record in South Carolina.
Boeing announced in late 2009 that North Charleston would become the site of its first commercial aircraft assembly plant outside of Washington state. By that point, Boeing had already purchased a pair of troubled 787 fuselage suppliers that had built factories at the airport.
In all, it committed to invest $750 million and create 3,600 jobs in exchange for an incentives package valued at $450 million.
"As it turned out, Boeing seriously under promised and over delivered," Harrell said.
Leatherman, chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, said the company and the state have been talking about its growth plans informally as far back as 2010.
The terms of "phase two" expansion began to take shape about three weeks ago. Leatherman, who helped craft the original legislation that landed Boeing's assembly plant, said he has "long suspected" the company would add onto its South Carolina operations.
"I didn't realize it would come quite this fast," he said.
Leatherman also called the projection of 2,000 jobs as low.
"Frankly, I suspect 2,000 more to follow," he said.
Brendan Kearney of The Post and Courier contributed to this report.

Thursday, November 28, 2013
Although our nation and world are vastly different from when the Pilgrims observed the first Thanksgiving in 1621, some things about Thanksgiving have endured throughout the years.
Thanksgiving still ushers in the Christmas season, undeniably the most meaningful time of year for many of us. Families still gather to fellowship and savor a bountiful meal. And Americans still reflect on the things they're thankful for, in their own lives and in being a part of our exceptional nation.
Just think about the number of truly great things we all can be thankful for this Thanksgiving season.
I think about our men and women in uniform, away from their families helping to defend our nation, especially those serving overseas. Let's be sure to honor their sacrifices, express our gratitude, and salute their service this Thanksgiving season.
I think about my elected position as comptroller general of South Carolina and about what a privilege it is to serve the citizens of our state. I realize that elected officials as a whole have sunk to new lows in public esteem these days – and justifiably so to some extent – but, thankfully, many serve for admirable reasons.
I think about the many opportunities this country extended to my hardworking grandparents who immigrated from Sweden; about the many opportunities this country extended to my parents; about the many opportunities it extended to me, my five brothers and two sisters; and about the many opportunities it has extended to my three children.
I think about how much better off the citizens of our country are compared to the citizens of any other country on earth. Immigrants from countries around the world still flood to our shores to enjoy the good life that our country offers to those who seek to become Americans willing to work hard to support their families and benefit their communities.
There's something else that comes to my mind at Thanksgiving as well.
I think about what life was like for those pilgrim settlers and for the early colonists who followed them: the fierce struggles they must have faced just to survive; their hard work and endurance; their love of liberty and individual freedom that was so intense that they risked everything to build their futures free of the heavy hand of tyrannical government.
I'm grateful for their pioneering spirits, amazing efforts and dreams of freedom. Because of their longing to breathe free, you and I live in the nation they gave us, the greatest and most special nation in history.
Of course, the world and America are very different places today than in their day.
In some ways, the world is a far more advanced place. But it's also far more dangerous, plagued by threats like terrorism and cyber warfare.
Here at home, we've also made great advances. Think about the improvements we've made in racial and cultural relations, and surely in the comfort level of our day-to-day lives.
But as we've evolved, so has the role of government in our daily lives. Now, I don't want to get political about this, but it's just another important point to ponder while thinking about Thanksgiving then versus Thanksgiving now.
I realize that life in America is a lot more complex nowadays. But, surely the Pilgrims would scratch their heads in bewilderment at the far reaches made by government into our everyday lives – from such basics as the large number of local ordinances on noise or lighting or building styles, to much larger intrusions like the national security surveillance program and all the taxes that dig ever deeper into our pockets to feed the growing appetite of government and government programs, many of which we don't want nor do we need.
I don't think this has happened because government is necessarily "evil." I think it's mainly because government tends to grow just like other entities tend to grow.
Because of that tendency, it requires constant effort to prevent government from growing and encroaching on us too much. That's sort of what the Boston Tea Party was about. That's what the Pilgrims were about, too. I'm extremely thankful for that priceless heritage they imparted to us.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. Christmas is almost here.
Richard Eckstrom, a CPA, is the comptroller general of South Carolina and commander of the S.C. State Guard.

Critics Oppose FDA Approval of Painkiller Zohydro
Feb. 27, 2014 -- A new narcotic painkiller is due to come on the market in March, and critics want the FDA to reverse its approval of the drug, Zohydro ER. They claim it could become the next OxyContin, another opioid that's become a popular drug of abuse.
Critics of the FDA's ruling include attorneys general from 28 states and FED UP!, a union of consumer groups, addiction treatment providers, drug and alcohol prevention programs, and other interested groups. They have petitioned FDA Commissioner Margaret Hamburg, MD, to prevent Zohydro from coming on the market. The FDA approved the drug even though its advisory committee voted 12 to 2 against approval.
"I firmly believe that the benefits of this product outweigh its risks," the FDA's Bob Rappaport, MD, wrote in the summary review explaining why he approved Zohydro last October. Rappaport is director of the FDA's Division of Anesthesia, Analgesia, and Addiction Products. "Many patients in the U.S. suffer from untreated or poorly treated chronic pain. Further limiting access to potential treatments is not the answer when new treatments are critically needed."
Opioids are a man-made type of narcotic pain medication. They subdue the central nervous system, ease pain, and induce sleep. They can have serious side effects if not used properly.
Here are some commonly asked questions about Zohydro, made by Zogenix, a San Diego company.
Q. Why do people want the FDA to reverse its approval of Zohydro?
A. Zohydro is too easy to abuse, critics say. It is the only approved extended-release product that contains the man-made opioid hydrocodone. It will be available in doses as high as 50 milligrams per pill -- five times the amount in immediate-release hydrocodone pills. Even though it is meant to release hydrocodone slowly over 12 hours, the pill could be tampered with to release a large dose all at once, says Andrew Kolodny, MD, co-founder of the group Physicians for Responsible Opioid Prescribing.
Two members of the FDA's controlled substance staff warned about the potential for abuse in materials presented to the advisory committee. "If approved and marketed, Zohydro ER will be abused, possibly at a rate greater than that of currently available hydrocodone combination products," wrote medical officer Lori Love, MD, PhD, and pharmacologist James Tolliver, PhD.

Hybrid vehicles have consistently increased in popularity in recent years, which is good news for potential buyers of used hybrids. Though the Toyota Prius is the top selling hybrid car in the world, which means there's more than three million little Prius hatchbacks roaming around out there, the success of the Prius and other early modern hybrids, such as the Honda Insight, challenged more manufacturers to join the game. That's good news for the auto industry, since they're making cars people actually want to buy. That's good news for global energy policy, since hybrids are much better for the environment than cars with traditional gas engines. And that's great news for people who want a hybrid but can't afford a new one. There are a lot of used hybrid cars out there, so shoppers can truly be choosy when it comes to buying a preowned hybrid.
Even though a used hybrid probably won't have the most up to date features, buying used can still be worth it because it saves a lot of money. And shoppers truly benefit from the fact that hybrid vehicles have quickly become an especially competitive class. Almost every major manufacturer has at least a couple of hybrids in their lineup, and even though hybrids still command a premium sticker price, designers know that vehicles have to stand out amongst the others, so hybrids are often loaded with features. Most used hybrids will have good options and amenities that won't be totally outdated. It's easier than ever to buy a preowned hybrid and save some money up front, and still be able to save money at the gas pump.

This paper demonstrates the effect of radio frequency (RF) front-end (FE) free-running local oscillator (FRO) phase noise (PN) on the phase component of the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) code correlation product. It is observed that as FE PN increases, it adversely affects the stability of the phase component of the code correlation. The tracking loops in baseband processing of a GNSS receiver attempt to lock on to the frequency, delay and phase of the correlation product. Until these parameters are varying within acceptable bounds, set by the dynamics handling capability of the tracking loops, the tracking loops are able to successfully track the satellite signal. However, PN increases the variation in phase of the correlation product calculated over consecutive epochs and may also cause loss of tracking lock if these variations go beyond phase locked loop (PLL) pull-in range thresholds. This paper studies the relation between FRO PN and phase component of correlation through numerical analysis, and software simulations by artificially contaminating GNSS signal stream with PN of increasing variance and checking the result on the standard deviation (SD) of the phase component of correlation product. Based on these results, this paper recommends certain maximum limits on the FE PN in order to keep the SD of phase component below the onesigma phase error limits of the PLL used in typical GNSS tracking loops.

KANSAS - The field was awash of green and brown and celebration.
Except for a little yellow speck.
And for the second time in the fourth quarter, Lakota saw a touchdown taken off the board because of a penalty.
It left the goose egg on the scoreboard as Seneca East picked up its third shutout of the season, 27-0, on Friday night at Lakota Stadium.
"On a night like this, ball security is huge. We came out and took care of the football. I thought we were opportunistic," Seneca East coach Ed Phillips said. "The name of the game was defense and our defense played outstanding. They have some playmakers on offense and all night long, our defense stood up and we got another shutout."
The Tigers held Lakota to 160 yards of total offense. Their defense sealed the game late in the fourth when Kevin Moore picked off Tiger Jaso and returned it 98 yards for the final score of the night with a minute and a half to go in the game.

It was the final frustration for Jaso in the final quarter.
With about six minutes left, Jaso received a punt at the Seneca East 48 and raced down the home sideline and into the end zone. But it was called back on a block in the back call. The Raiders (2-7, 0-6 Midland League) couldn't do anything on that possession and had to punt it away.
After a three-and-out, Seneca East (7-2, 4-2 MAL) booted it back to Lakota and the Raiders started its drive on their own 32. On the first play from scrimmage, Jaso juked and jived his way down the field and into the end zone. But a holding call at the Seneca East 34 brought the Raiders back out on offense, and three plays later, Jaso threw the interception on a halfback pass, ending the Lakota threat.
"You wish you could have gotten one and just push it," Lakota coach Dave Vodika said. "Tiger Jaso, if you can get him loose, is just super. It was disheartening. As we tell the kids, we ought to feel bad. They are missed opportunities."
After a scoreless first quarter, Seneca East got on the board midway through the second quarter with a 5-yard touchdown pass from Ethan Caudill to Adam Bauman.
Less than four minutes later, Seneca East took advantage of a fumble deep in Lakota territory and turned it into six points, with Jared Walker plunging in from two yards out.
Bauman got on the board in Seneca East's opening drive of the third quarter, scoring on a 2-yard run to make it 20-0 with 9:54 to go in the third quarter.
Jaso had 75 yards rushing to lead the Lakota attack.
Seneca East was paced by Caudill's 96 yards passing as Lakota bottled up the Seneca East attack, holding them to 170 yards on the night.
"Our guys are disappointed. I thought we played hard. We just shot ourselves in the foot. They're a pretty nice ball club," Vodika said. "We were competitive at least. There's no substitute for experience and we have some inexperienced guys, like seven of them on defense. That hurts us. I feel bad for the seniors. They're a great group of kids."
Both coaches admitted their eyes are on next week already. Lakota travels to North Baltimore for the right to climb out of the MAL cellar as both teams lack a win in the league.
"It's been a while since we've tasted victory. North Baltimore, (Dino Woodruff) does a nice job down there and we have to get ready for that," Vodika said. "We need to just keep pressing and finish the year with a win. That's what I hope we can do."
Seneca East hosts Carey in a game that stands to push one team into the playoffs and leave the other outside looking in.
"They are high school kids and they know what's coming. I walked into the locker room there and listened to them afterwards and I can see they are pretty hyped up for next week," Phillips said. "It's going to be a good time. We're excited about."

JOHNSTOWN - Area tea party members said U.S. Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Pa., has turned his back on his constituents by proposing additional gun control legislation.
About 50 tea party members rallied outside Toomey's Johnstown office Tuesday in opposition to the Public Safety and Second Amendment Rights Protection Act.
"The tea party was instrumental in helping Toomey get elected," said David A. Noll, vice president of the Bedford County Patriots Tea Party. "We feel he betrayed us."

Timothy Karns (left) of Bedford and Craig Hetherington of Osterburg were two of 50 protesters outside the Johnstown office of Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Pa., on Tuesday.
The Public Safety and Second Amendment Rights Protection Act was co-authored by Toomey and Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va. The proposal was hailed as a bipartisan compromise on gun control and enhanced background checks for firearm purchases in the wake of Sandy Hook and other mass shootings.
But the proposal has drawn the ire of conservatives, including tea party members, who have blasted Toomey for infringing upon Americans' Second Amendment rights.
Holding signs that read "Pat Toomey, you are fired," "No guns, no freedoms" and "2nd Amendment: the original Homeland Security," the group said Toomey ignored his constituents in crafting the proposed legislation.
"We want him to recall that legislation," Noll said. "We don't need any new gun legislation."
According to Toomey, the proposal is designed to strengthen the national background check system.
The legislation would require background checks for all gun purchases made online or at gun shows and would establish a national commission to examine the causes of mass violence.
The bill is not designed to ban any types of firearms, limit ammunition magazine sizes or create a national firearms registry, according to Toomey's website.
"The bill will not, in any way at all, infringe upon the Constitutional rights of law-abiding citizens," according to the senator's website.
But tea party members said the legislation opens the door to creating new legislation that could compromise gun owners' rights.
"It's a slippery slope," said Caludine Matesa, a tea party member from Murrysville. "Hopefully he'll reconsider what he's doing."
The broad wording of the legislation and possibility of a national gun registry were a concern for tea party members, said Pittsburgh resident Karen Toft.
Matesa and Toft held signs that read "Criminals do not follow gun laws," and on the back, "No new gun laws: enforce the ones we have."
Toomey was in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday, said John P. Frick Jr., Toomey's regional manager.
Frick said he would not comment on the legislation being questioned by tea party members on Tuesday.
But Frick mingled with protesters outside Toomey's office and met with small groups of tea party members throughout the afternoon.
"The bottom line is, they have their right to assemble," Frick said. "We will take their message to Sen. Toomey."
University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown students Cliff Maloney and Joel Black said they both campaigned for Toomey, but his recent proposal was cause for concern.
Holding a sign that read "Tell me more about how criminals follow laws," Maloney said additional gun legislation would only hurt law-abiding gun owners.
Black said existing gun laws need to be enforced.
To the students, the rally outside Toomey's office was about one thing.
"Liberty," Maloney said.
Toomey is scheduled to hold a conference call with members of the media to discuss the proposed background check legislation this morning.

The Two Noble Kinsmen: Director, Barry Kyle; Designer, Bob Crowley; Photographer, Donald Cooper (ahds.ac.uk/performingarts): Royal Shakespeare Company, May 1986
"A stylised ancient Japanese setting full of ritual and ceremony lends interest to long scenes and speeches of celebration and invocation and helps make sense of the chivalric code that underpins this tragic romance." Lyn Gardner, City Limits 22.5.86
In this opening scene, three widowed queens seeking revenge interrupt the wedding of Theseus and Hippolyta. like a classical Greek Tragedy. But this was a production of a Renaissance play, based on a medieval romance, though set in prehistoric Greece, and with Japanese costuming. The audience seemed understandably confused about what exactly was going on. HMR

MUNCIE, Ind. - The No. 9 Ball State Cardinals swept the IPFW Mastodons (25-21, 25-17, 25-20) Saturday night at Worthen Arena to advance to the MIVA Semifinals.

The first set saw five ties early on before the Cardinals were able to benefit from some Mastodon attack errors to go up 12-10 forcing the Mastodons to call a timeout.

Contractor sues River Valley Transit
January 29, 2013
It was a festive red ribbon-cutting occasion last April when the 350-space Church Street Transportation Project opened amid hoopla as dignitaries expressed hope for a parking solution in an expandin......
My family and I stayed at the Townplace Suites from July thru September while relocating to this area. I can truly say I agree with the city on NOT paying the full amount on the parking garage. The elevator in the garage never worked while we were staying there. Work progressed at a snails pace and the artwork on the side of the building was put up in the middle of the night keeping everyone staying on the Church St side of the hotel upto all night. Not to mention the bums using the bathroom in the parking garage stair well. The contractor definately cost the city revenue and the cost of extra security while they took their good old sweet time to finish the job.

As a retired purchasing agent, this should all have been covered in the PURCHASE ORDER. If it wasn't, the city better be seeking a new purchasing agent!!!!
With a proper purchase order, any late services, delayed use of facility, etc., SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED, which would prevent this kind of mess.
It reminds me of the federal government and their lack of proper purchase orders which result in cost overruns, etc.

Amen Shirley. It's absolutely a result of the 'good old boy network' that many people have referenced. While the artwork on the site of the buildings looks nice, I agree, spending that amount of money, or any amount of money on it when you're struggling to find the funds for a new budget is inexcusable.

Sadly, must agree with wwhickok - Wmspt has become a place to pass away rather than live. From the old boy network to the old money to the extremely OLD mind set, there is not much place left in town for youth, excitement, new ideas or just plain happiness.

why does 2oo thousand dollars need to be spent on ARTWORK PANELS on the outside of the building when grafitti artists do it for free. that is just rediculous from a city thats almost broke any ways. grants and such are supposed to be used for the good of the city not to sue people with FIRE THEM ALL get people in there that know what the*****they are doing

We are delighted to introduce the Pi Bench for meditation in the traditional kneeling, or seiza posture. This posture is a good alternative for those who have difficulty meditating in the cross-legged position.
The Pi Bench, inspired by the mathematical symbol Pi, promotes correct spinal alignment while eliminating stress on the knees. Its innovative architecture locates the bench's legs beneath the center of the seat at the greatest weight bearing point. This unique design feature gives the Pi Bench enhanced stability and allows the sitter more options for positioning the legs they are not as "confined". The bench's rounded, contoured legs allow you to adjust the angle of the seat for your personal comfort.

I received a comment on my post about Backpacking Trip planning made easy. The Reader asked a few questions I would love to answer.
Oregon must be a great place for backpacking. Tell us how far you have to go to get to the trail heads around you. And how far is too far away for a weekend camping trek.
I live in the midwest, in a plains state, and have to travel hours to get to even the Ozarks in Arkansas to find more than a 2 mile wilderness trail. Do you go 3 or 4 hours from home base? More than 150 to 200 miles? Do you camp at a park the first night and hit the trail in the morning? Or do you hike a bit at night and camp on the trail?
