Deputies crackdown on synthetic substances
Substances outlawed in Florida
Published 2:43 PM EST Jan 28, 2013
Volusia County sheriff's investigators warned 15 businesses Monday about selling synthetic drugs.
Deputies said the next time owners could be prosecuted and fined if they don't comply.
Sheriff's deputies inspected more than 170 businesses in recent weeks in a crackdown on the sale of synthetics after the state outlawed them last month. Banned products were found on the shelves of 15 stores.
Investigators gave a one-time warning to owners about the now-illegal substances and say in the future, the law will be strictly enforced.

The South Carolina Stingrays didn't do the little things they needed to do to come away with a victory Tuesday night against Greenville.
It was those little things, that attention to detail, that has propelled the Stingrays to the top of the standings and the best record in the ECHL's Eastern Conference during the first half of the season.
Todd Hosmer scored two goals and Jeff Malcolm made 36 saves to lead Greenville past South Carolina, 5-3, Tuesday night before a crowd of 2,202 at the North Charleston Coliseum.
The Stingrays, who have lost four of their last six games, are 29-9-3 (53 points), but remained in first place in the Eastern Conference. The Road Warriors, who have won four straight, improved to 18-15-3 (39 points).
While the South Carolina outshot the Road Warriors, 39-25, it was their "self-inflicted" mistakes that cost the Stingrays a chance at a victory against their in-state rival.
"We're just not playing very well right now," Carbery said. "We're not doing the things, the little things that we were doing earlier in the season when we were winning hockey games. We got some bad breaks, some bad bounces, but they were self-inflicted. We lost coverage, we had breakdowns in our defensive zone and we were standing around. We just were not very sharp tonight."
The five goals that Stingrays goalie Jeff Jakaitis allowed were the most all season in a single game.
"We just didn't play very well in front of Jeff tonight," Carbery said. "He might not have had his best game, but four of the five goals you can't fault him for."
The Stingrays fired off 39 shots, but could have recorded a dozen more if they had not been blocked by the Road Warriors' defense. Getting shots to the net and blocking shots were two points of emphasis for Carbery after the game.
"We're not blocking shots and we're getting too many of our own shots blocked or deflected," Carbery said. "You've got to be committed to blocking shots. It's not something you can work on. If you're in this league, you need to block shots. Some of the most skilled guys at the NHL level don't have to block shots, but if you're in the ECHL, you've got to block shots if you expect to move up to the American League."
Hosmer kicked off the scoring 5:14 into the game, slipping a wrist shot between the Jakaitis from the top of right-wing circle.
The Stingrays tied the contest on the power play when Igor Gongalsky backhanded in his fifth goal of the season over Malcolm's glove at 11:38 of the first period. Defensemen Steve Spinell and Jeremy Price recorded assists.
The Road Warriors answered a minute later when Greenville forward Josh Nicholls made it 2-1.
Early in the second period, Road Warriors defenseman Mike Marcou made it a 3-1 game with his sixth goal of the season.
Price pulled the Stingrays back within a goal, 3-2, at 9:19 of the second period, completing a 2-on-1 rush with forward Paul Rodrigues.
With Greenville defenseman Sam Klassen in the penalty box for high-sticking, Road Warriors team captain Sean Berkstresser capitalized on an unassisted shorthanded breakaway at 16:45 for a 4-2 advantage.
Hosmer grabbed his second goal of the game at 4:39 of the third period to extend the Road Warriors' lead.
Stingrays forward Kyle Bodie wrapped up the game, scoring at 16:40 with a nifty wrist shot off an assist from Gongalsky and forward Wayne Simpson.

YELLOW CREEK - The recent combination of winter melt and rainy conditions blamed for a landslide on Hibbetts Mill Road on Tuesday prompted Yellow Creek Township trustees to order a section of the road closed to traffic, effective 8 a.m. tomorrow, March 1.
A portion of the rocky cliffside overlooking the road slid down to the road's edge, bringing a pair of trees with it. At Tuesday evening's trustees meeting, board member Larry Brewer said a township resident with a chainsaw proceeded to cut the downed trees, which were blocking the road. The only problem, he said, was that the person chose to dispose of the trees by letting them fall down into the creek ravine. The larger tree snagged the telephone line running across the ravine, where it remains suspended on the wire, which is still intact but heavily strained under the weight.
"Again?" asked township road worker Randy Matthias in disbelief, recalling a similar incident last spring. "Oh, it's on there pretty good," Brewer replied.

A landslide that brought trees down across Hibbetts Mill Road on Tuesday, coupled with worries about continued wet weather causing further incidents, has prompted Yellow Creek Township trustees to order a portion of the road closed as of 8 a.m. tomorrow, March 1. (Photo by Richard Sberna)
Although the road is currently passable, trustees worried that the recent winter melt combined with upcoming rains could result in additional landslides. For that reason, they issued an order closing a section of Hibbetts Mill Road approximately a half-mile from the state Route 45 intersection, until further notice.
The need for repairs to other township roads came up for discussion. Trustees agreed that the township had the resources for no more than a mile and a half of chip-and-seal repairs at current costs. "It depends on what's needed and where it's needed at," Brewer said.
Matthias, who represented the road department for absent roads foreman Gary Mitchell, said hills should be prioritized. Certain areas, such as on Bolivar Road, are in such poor condition they cannot be effectively salted in the winter. Brewer advised waiting on Forbes Road as long as it remains covered by a road usage maintenance agreement with Chesapeake Energy, which is utilizing the road for gas exploration.
Matthias asked trustees if they had ever calculated the per-mile costs of chip and seal versus the number of potholes that could be filled for that same amount. Boyd conceded that they hadn't. Brewer had figures from 2011 pricing one-and-one-half miles of chip and seal for $17,318. Boyd then assumed a price of approximately $15,000 per mile this year versus a 10-ton load of patch for approximately $800.
"How many loads do we normally use?" Matthias asked. "A lot," Boyd answered.
Fiscal officer Debbie Lyle promised to research the figures before the next meeting and have the calculations ready for comparison. In the meantime, Brewer suggested Matthias and Mitchell complete berming work before moving on to patching potholes.
In other business, Lyle reported on an email she received from Benjamin Rich at FirstEnergy Solutions regarding the non-payment of aggregation fees due to the township. At $.10 per enrollment with the aggregation plan and 265 enrollments in the township, Yellow Creek is due $2,650, which Lyle has been pursuing for more than a year. "It's just been a nightmare," she said.
The email stated that the previous aggregation representative, Colette Appolito, is no longer with the company for reasons not stated. Rich apologized for the "embarrassing situation" of Yellow Creek and other communities not receiving their payments. "This is completely unprofessional and unacceptable, and I am going to fix it," Rich states.
The health insurance controversy addressed in previous meeting has also been resolved. The issue was the result of what trustee Kenny Biacco admitted was a misunderstanding on the part of township trustees regarding the policy from Anderson-Campbell Insurance. The late arrival of insurance cards from the agency added to the sense of worry on the behalf of Matthias and Mitchell, but further explanation of the payment process from the agency provided trustees with the assurance that, in fact, the total $2,500 deductible will be covered as originally planned.

Learning from the election
December 1, 2012
For Republicans, it is clearly focus time. Every time a party loses the White House, a reassessment is in order. Of course, it is far simpler to be persuaded when a party has met with failure....

In 59 precincts making up a large section of Philadelphia, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney did not receive a single vote for president. President Obama did not get 99 percent of the vote. He got all the votes. Every single one, according to election officials.
There was a similar happening in Cleveland, Ohio, the key battleground state in the recent race for the presidency.
And in counting news, a Florida election official decided unilaterally to have a midnight recount of votes in one precinct and Rep. Alan West, in a race where the margin was less than one half of one percent, suddenly lost 4,500 votes. Not a couple hundred votes - 4,500. West is going to court, demanding an explanation for the sudden recount and asking that there be a recount of his entire district's voting.
Before the election, there were questions about whether the absentee ballots of military personnel were being adequately processed to preserve their voting rights.
You form your on conclusions on whether and why all these things happened, but at the very least, they raise troubling questions about our most sacred of American rights the voting process.
We can't help but reflect on the harsh criticisms that were leveled at Pennsylvania's voter identification law, which is scheduled to be in effect in next year's elections. The law was passed this year but its usage delayed until next year following court challenges, with a judge ruling there weren't adequate measures in effect to make it easy for everyone to have a proper ID.
But from the uproar surrounding the law, you would have thought the law was geared at rigging the election.
Meanwhile, we have suspicious election day happenings in Philadelphia, Cleveland and Florida and the same media makes little of them.
The voter ID law may not directly relate to these curious happenings, but it does fall into the same election day credo: Make the vote proper.
That's all any of us regardless of political persuasion should want. To not share that sentiment makes us no better than the dictatorships and rigged elections elsewhere that we quickly criticize.

Hugh Bonneville, Robert James-Collier, Joanne Froggatt, Sophie McShera and Brendan Coyle, who all star in the Emmy award-winning PBS show Downton Abbey, visited New York this weekend.
On Sunday, the actors and actresses enjoyed their first ever live professional basketball game when the New York Knicks took on the Denver Nuggets at Madison Square Garden.
Fans of the series will do a double-take when they see Bonneville – who plays Robert Crawley, the 7th Earl of Grantham, head of the aristocratic household – posing with basketball player Amar'e Stoudemire and wearing modern-day clothing.
Dan Stevens (who plays Matthew Crawley on the series) is nowhere to be seen in the photos, but is currently starring in The Heiress with Jessica Chastain on Broadway.
Most recently, Downton Abbey's creator Julian Fellowes announced that he will create a period drama based on the Gilded Age of New York City for NBC.

Obama Takes Responsibility for Libya
President Barack Obama said for the first time on Tuesday that he ultimately was responsible for the safety of four Americans who were killed in Libya last month, but denounced as "offensive" Republican charges that the White House initially resisted labeling the incident a terrorist attack.
Libya was one of the few foreign-policy issues raised in Tuesday's 90-minute presidential debate, and Republican challenger Mitt Romney repeated his charge that the Obama administration was slow in responding to signs of a growing terrorist threat in Libya and North Africa.
But Mr. Romney's suggestion the Obama administration may have had political motives in failing to initially call the siege on the U.S. consulate a terrorist attack led to one of the sharpest exchanges of the debate.
"The suggestion that anybody in my team, whether the secretary of state, our U.N. ambassador, anybody on my team would play politics or mislead when we've lost four of our own, governor, is offensive," Mr. Obama said. "That's not what we do."
Mr. Romney responded: "It took them a long time to say this was a terrorist act by a terrorist group."
Mr. Obama said Mr. Romney should check the transcript of the president's comments from Sept. 12, the day after the attack. And indeed, Mr. Obama did use the word "terror" in his comments in the Rose Garden, though not as precisely as he suggested during the debate. "No acts of terror will ever shake the resolve of this great nation," Mr. Obama said at the time. That statement also referred implicitly to an anti-Islamic video that the administration, in other accounts, initially blamed for protests that led to the assault.
The debate followed interviews given Monday by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, where she defended the White House's actions in Libya and said the State Department was in charge of security at the consulate in Benghazi.
However, Mr. Obama said: "I'm the president. And I'm always responsible."
The administration has confronted a series of questions over the shifting explanation for the origin of the Sept. 11 consulate assault. Republican lawmakers on Tuesday continued their push for an independent commission established by the State Department to complete its work before the Nov. 6 presidential vote.
That appears unlikely. State Department officials announced the commission, called an Accountability Review Board, on Sept. 20. In an official notice on Oct. 4, officials said the board must report its findings within 60 days, unless its chairman requests more time.
Some Republicans are charging that the workings of the board, headed by retired State Department diplomat Thomas Pickering, are holding up the investigations of Benghazi taking place in the Senate and House.
"The commission has an important role in helping to reach final conclusions about what happened in Benghazi," said Rep. Darrell Issa (R., Calif), who is heading a House probe into the attack. "The commission should not, however, be an excuse for delaying other necessary efforts to determine what happened and what steps need to be immediately taken to protect our diplomats overseas."
Mr. Pickering said Tuesday the review was progressing, but he couldn't say how long it might take. "Generally, we're doing what we need to do to complete our report," he said in San Francisco, where a public memorial for Christopher Stevens, the U.S. ambassador to Libya slain in Benghazi, was being readied.
Republican criticisms of the State Department over Libya have intensified in recent days after two former security officers stationed in Libya testified that their requests for an increase in U.S. diplomatic security in the country were denied. The State Department disputes some of that testimony.
The discussion about Libya during the debate began with a citizen's question to Mr. Obama about a lack of security at the U.S. consulate in Benghazi. Mr. Obama did not directly explain during the debate why there were security complaints by U.S. officials in Libya.
Mrs. Clinton, in recent interviews, sought to deflect political pressure on Mr. Obama by saying she took responsibility for any security lapses in the attack that killed Ambassador Stevens.
U.S. Government Reaction to the Benghazi Attack
Follow some of the administration statements on the Libya attack.
"I take responsibility," Mrs. Clinton told The Wall Street Journal, stressing that State Department security securityprofessionals—not the White House—vet the threats posed to overseas missions.
"I'm the secretary of state with 60,000-plus employees around the world. This is like a big family.…It's painful, absolutely painful," the former first lady said.
Mr. Issa on Tuesday praised Mrs. Clinton's statements on Libya: "Secretary Clinton showed leadership in acknowledging her ultimate responsibility for security failures that took place within her department before the events of Sept. 11, 2012."
Still, Mrs. Clinton's statements seemed to do little to damp the broader GOP push to attack Mr. Obama's national-security credentials going into the final weeks of the campaign. Meanwhile, Mr. Obama has campaigned on his national-security record, highlighting the killing of 9/11 mastermind Osama bin Laden, the battle against al Qaeda in Pakistan and the Taliban in Afghanistan, and efforts to weaken Iran economically.
Republican criticism has partly been fueled by the Obama administration's shifting descriptions of the assault. Senior officials had initially said the attack on Benghazi stemmed from a "spontaneous" reaction in the Muslim world to the posting of a U.S.-made video that mocked the Islamic faith's Prophet Muhammad. The White House later said the assault represented a terrorist attack.

Susan Powell's Father-in-Law Secretly Took 4,500 Pictures of Her
"It's a hard time of year," Susan's father, Chuck Cox, tells PEOPLE. "Our daughter's still missing. Someday, we will find out what happened to her."
He added that he is not sure what to make of a West Valley City, Utah, police announcement Thursday that their investigation into Susan's Dec. 6, 2009, disappearance remains active but "has been scaled down," with a reduction in the number of full-time investigators working the case.
The announcement came at the same time that more evidence emerged of the alleged obsession Susan's father-in-law, Steven Powell, had toward her. Authorities released nearly 4,500 pictures that they say he secretly took of her at home and elsewhere.
Cox says he's hopeful that the police are still doing everything possible to solve Susan's case, but he hasn't ruled out suing the department for failing to arrest Susan's husband, Josh Powell, for her murder.
More than two years after Susan's disappearance, Josh on Feb. 5 murdered the couple's two sons and committed suicide by blowing up his house.
Cox's lawyer, Anne Bremner, says Cox "goes back and forth" over whether to sue West Valley City. "He wants them to find her. A lawsuit can have a chilling affect on things."
Cox and Bremner say they do plan to file a lawsuit against the state of Washington for continuing to give Josh visitation with his children despite what they claim were mounting concerns regarding his mental stability.
Although Cox and the police believe that Josh Powell knew more than anyone what happened to Susan, they also strongly suspect that his father, Steven Powell, should still be looked at more closely.
Ted S. Warren / AP
In numerous interviews with PEOPLE, Steve and Josh Powell denied any involvement in Susan's disappearance and have suggested that she ran off with another man.
Steve Powell was prosecuted for surreptitiously photographing his neighbor's young daughters (and is serving a 30-month sentence), but the investigation also unearthed journals in which Powell described his interest in his daughter-in-law, as well as the thousands of photos, which were released Thursday to the Associated Press.
In a journal entry, Steven Powell recalls a sexually charged dream in which Susan asks him, "Do you think I would make a good wife for you?" None of the pictures show Susan naked, although there are images of her crotch and backside.
"We think he knows exactly where our daughter is," Cox says.
Once Susan disappeared, Josh sold the family's home in Utah and moved with the boys into Steven Powell's house in Puyallup, Wash., only about two miles from the Cox family.
On Thursday, families streamed to Puyallup's Woodbine Cemetery to remember the Powell boys and other children who died tragically and to dedicate a memorial: a bronze angel inspired by the novella The Christmas Box, in which strangers learn the value of love following a child's death.
The novella's author, Richard Paul Evans, also attended the dedication. The memorial is on a hill overlooking the boys' gravesites 75 yards away.
"We get a lot of support from a lot of people and we're going to make it through," Cox says.

A few weeks ago, Thomas J. Thompson seemed assured of keeping his job as an Erie County sheriff's deputy, even though he took part in beating an inmate in the Erie County Holding Center.
Thompson, as punishment for his crime, was ordered to serve eight months in federal custody with a recommendation from the judge that he do his time at a halfway house in Buffalo.
It was a sentence that would have allowed Thompson to keep his badge, a prospect that Sheriff Timothy B. Howard called "frustrating" and one that now may be changing because of the agency in charge of federal prisons.
The U.S. Bureau of Prisons wants Thompson to serve his time in Lexington, Ky., which means Thompson may again face dismissal if he cannot appear for work each day.
"Whether he's at a maximum facility, a minimum facility or a camp doesn't really matter," said James W. Grable Jr., Thompson's lawyer. "It's a sentence that will cost his wife and daughter their financial future."
Grable was in federal court Wednesday urging U.S. Magistrate Judge H. Kenneth Schroeder to change his original sentence so that Thompson can remain in Buffalo and keep his job.
Schroeder rejected his request and made it clear that where Thompson serves his sentence is beyond his authority as a judge.
Thompson's appeal to the court also coincides with a renewed effort by Erie County to dismiss him.
Schroeder mentioned the county's interest in terminating Thompson on Wednesday, and Undersheriff Mark N. Wipperman later confirmed that the Sheriff's Office has received legal opinions from the county's Law and Labor Relations departments regarding Thompson.
He said the opinions address Thompson's previous termination – his firing was overturned by an arbitrator – and the possibility of "double jeopardy."
"We received those opinions back, and a 'second' decision will be made very soon in regards to Deputy Thompson's employment status," Wipperman said in a statement.
Thompson's legal woes stem from his involvement in a Jan. 18, 2010, assault on Stephen Heilmann, an inmate at the Holding Center.
As part of his plea deal, Thompson admitted recruiting other deputies to assist him in punishing Heilmann, who he says lied to guards about drugs at the jail.
When a search of another inmate's cell failed to turn up any drugs, Thompson and the other deputies returned to Heilmann's cell and told him that because he lied, he had to take a punch to the gut.
Thompson then told Heilmann to pick out a deputy to deliver the blow. He did so, and a deputy then punched him. Heilmann later sued the county and won an out-of-court settlement.
An official with the bureau indicated in court papers that it has a policy of placing law enforcement personnel sentenced to federal custody in facilities outside their community because of the risk of being close to inmates they may have investigated, arrested or prosecuted.
Grable said Thompson has been ordered to report to the facility in Kentucky by next Thursday.

Most of those players aren't that contemporary, though.
A lot of casual sports fans around America (believe it or not) don't know several of those names you listed above.
I don't doubt it, but they are still better known names, and more easily identifiable than Norris, Smythe, Patrick and Adams. And why should those 4 guys get a division, and a trophy named after them - spread the love!

SALEM - The East Palestine girls cross country team's first win of the season gave the Bulldogs something they've been waiting years for.
East Palestine ended Salem's dominance Tuesday by winning its first Columbiana County cross country girls title since 1980.
"We've been solid, but we've never won this year," East Palestine coach Jim Young said. "We've chased South Range around."
"We knew we could do something as long as we worked for it," East Palestine freshman Hannah Hall said. "You can't just start out winning."
East Palestine had five of the top 15 runners at Waterworth Memorial Park to win the close team race with 41 points. Lisbon was second with 48 and United was third with 59.
"They knew to chase anything in blue," Young said. "We knew United was good, too."
Salem finished fourth with 69 points. The Quakers entered the meet having won the last 10 county titles and 19 of the last 21 years.
Junior Allison Parks became the first United girl since 1990 to win the county meet.
"I just wanted to win county for once," Parks said. "Last year was a teasing year. This year I wanted to make up for it."
Parks covered the 3.1-mile course in20 minutes, 9 seconds, finishing 24 seconds ahead of Salem senior Mallory Maher.
"The farther up there I placed, the better it was for the team," Parks said. "I'd like them to get some of the recognition for once. They are my biggest fans. We are are a tight-knit team. This is the first year I've had a team. It's a great feeling."
Parks was coming off a school-record 18:59 at the Malone Invitational on Saturday.
"There's something about that course," Parks said. "Everyone does good there."
She wasn't pushing to break her school record again Tuesday, although a lot of people were watching if she could.
"Pressure comes with it," Parks said. "Every year you get better, people expect more out of you. I try to make it help me, not hurt me."
East Palestine freshman Haley Hall said the girls have gotten tired of seeing the 1980 girls team as the only county champion listed on the wall in the high school gym.
"It just makes you work harder," she said. "We really want to win it and if we worked for it, we could do it."
"We've talked about this two weeks ago," Young said. "It's nice to break the old records."
The Hall twins were East Palestine's first two finishers - Haly in fourth and Hannah in fifth.
East Palestine's other runners did their part by staying ahead of their Lisbon counterparts - sophomore Justina Stanislaw was 11th, junior Korynn Crawford was 12th and junior Sarah Adams was 15th.
"The Hall girls do what they do and Korynn Crawford did a great job. She had her best race," Young said.
Throughout every race, the Hall twins hear people yelling the wrong names at t hem.
"Very, very often," Hannah Hall said. "They know us, but when we're running, we have our hair up."
Before races, people will find out what socks each is wearing so they know who is who.
"Hannah usually wears high socks, too, but today she forget them," Haley Hall said.
The two don't get in a lot of cross country practice because they also play for the East Palestine soccer team.
"We always get to have fun together," Hannah Hall said. "It's a good experience."
The Bulldogs will be aiming for another win at the Inter-Tri County League Meet at McDonald on Tuesday.
"Hopefully we'll place good in the ITCL," Haley Hall said.

Office of Naval Research
Phenotypic and Genotypic Markers of Performance Vulnerability to Sleep Loss
Principal Investigator: Namni Goel, Ph.D.
In this project we will use phenotypic and genotypic techniques to identify predictors of those individuals most vulnerable to the performance effects of both acute total sleep deprivation (TSD) and chronic partial sleep deprivation (PSD). Evidence from our laboratory as well as from other groups has indicated large and highly replicable (trait-like) individual differences in the magnitude of fatigue, sleepiness, sleep homeostatic and cognitive performance vulnerability to acute TSD. Approximately a third of healthy adults are highly vulnerable to the neurobehavioral effects of sleep deprivation, another third are vulnerable, and the remaining third are much less vulnerable. The reasons for these stable (phenotypic) differential vulnerabilities are unknown. This project has two specific aims: (1) Establish the extent to which neurobehavioral vulnerability to acute TSD overlaps with neurobehavioral vulnerability to chronic PSD (i.e., are there 1 or 2 phenotypes for performance vulnerability to sleep loss?); (2) identify predictors and correlates of individual vulnerability to the performance effects of acute TSD and of individual vulnerability to chronic PSD, including 5 specific candidate genes involved in sleep-wake, circadian and cognitive regulation, as well as the importance of habitual sleep duration, chronotype (morningness-eveningness), baseline performance ability, IQ, personality traits, and body mass index (BMI).

The "First Love" singer brought her mother and 6-year-old twins along for the concert series, spending two nights at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach.
"Max and Emme enjoyed the pool and had a great time," a source tells PEOPLE about Lopez's kids. "Jennifer had sushi from Blade and loved it. Her mom enjoyed her show and danced to all of her music."
The newly single Lopez, 44, didn't show any signs of reigniting her love life, instead focusing on her family and staying away from the club scene. She split from choreographer Casper Smart in early June after dating for two and a half years. Despite the breakup, Lopez has been living it up promoting her latest album, A.K.A. (which debuted at number six on the Billboard charts and number one in the hip hop and R&B category), performances everywhere from Brazil to New York.
"Jennifer was in a great mood and acted extremely nice and pleasant to media and fans," the source says of her time in Miami.

Monday, July 21, 2014
Honoring the accomplishments of its young people has been a long standing tradition with Moncks Corner Town Council.
During the Tuesday, July 15 meeting of town council, local Park and Recreation baseball and softball teams braved heavy rainstorms to be recognized and so honored.
Its always great to see the council chambers filled with our young people who braved this weather to be honored their accomplishments, said Mayor Pro Tem Michael Lockliear, who occupied the center seat for Mayor Bill Peagler who was ill.
Berkeley High School valedictorian Bryce Kunkle and salutatorian Caroline Lamprecht, along with Park and Recreation regular season Ponytails champion Pirates and Machine Pitch champs the Marlins were recognized at the beginning of the Towns regularly scheduled July meeting.
You can easily see the future of Moncks Corner and Berkeley Stags athletics are in capable hands, Lockliear said.
In other town business, the final cutout list for the new Regional Recreation Complex continues to take shape as the town seeks to see the park completed prior to the towns inaugural town festival and BBQ Cooker of the Year competition this fall. The two day event will take place at the new rec center complex on Nov. 7-8.
Town Administrator Marc Hehn advised council that the mayor will present the fiscal year 2014-2015 town budget during its August meeting.
The mayor wants to be here to present the budget to council and with the race for supervisor complete he can finish up his review of the new budget and present it to council at next months meeting.
Two readings and a public hearing are required for approval.
The towns new fiscal year begins Oct. 1, 2014.
Peagler defeated current Berkeley County Supervisor Dan Davis in a runoff election on June 24 and will resign as mayor effective Dec. 31, 2014.
Town Attorney John West presented council with a special election report detailing the logistics to electing a new mayor to finish out the remainder of Peaglers term.
The Mayor Pro Tem will serve as interim mayor until the special election is held on March 31.

PITTSBURGH - It was a dark and stormy night - and almost a horrible one for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
They headed in Monday night's game against the Kansas City Chiefs at Heinz Field with two goals: Beat a dispirited 1-7 opponent, and make sure no one got hurt in advance of Sunday night's first-place showdown against the Baltimore Ravens.
They accomplished only one of the goals. Shaun Suisham's 23-yard overtime field goal gave them the 16-13 victory, but quarterback Ben Roethlisberger left the game in the opening minutes of the third quarter with a shoulder injury.
Article Photos
Lawrence Timmons returns an interception for the Steelers in overtime.
Mirror photo by J.D. Cavrich
Roethlis-berger was sandwiched between tacklers Justin Houston and Tamba Hali, and his shoulder was crunched under both players when he went to the turf. Roethlisberger left the field favoring his shoulder and soon disappeared down the steps to the locker room.
ESPN cameras caught him riding a cart away from the locker room, and ESPN later reported that Roethlisberger and his wife left the stadium and were headed to a hospital.
After the game, coach Mike Tomlin said that Roethlisberger's shoulder was being evaluated and that he had no further information.
Byron Leftwich, who had played just once in the last three years, was forced to take over at quarterback, and that was as dicey a proposition as might have been expected.
Then again, it's not like the Steelers offense was exactly humming with Roethlisberger at the controls.
It was a shaky night all around for the Steelers, who were just a week removed from beating the defending Super Bowl champion New York Giants on their own turf. This time, they looked like the uncertain team they were at the start of the season.
The Steelers extended their winning streak to four games, but it was a struggle all night.
They couldn't have won without the thorough cooperation of the Chiefs, a bad team that played badly. Quarterback Matt Cassel's incompetence was one of the Steelers' best assets.
Cassel converted a big fourth down to send the game to overtime, but then launched an ill-advised and wobbly pass that Lawrence Timmons was able to leap and intercept to set up the winning field goal. Timmons' play compensated for Ike Taylor's getting beat on the fourth down pass.
"It wasn't a pretty body of work by any of us," Tomlin said.
The Chiefs had an apparent touchdown called back when replay proved that Leftwich's loss of the ball was an incomplete pass rather than a fumble. But, because they're the Chiefs, they still managed to give the Steelers 15 yards and a first down by excessively celebrating a touchdown that didn't even count. Stuff like that is how you build a 1-7 (now 1-8) record that will surely get people fired.
Having survived Kansas City, the focus can finally turn to the first of two games against the Ravens in a three-week span. The Steelers' ability to handle that challenge on their home turf probably hinges on Roethlisberger's availability.
Until this point, much had been made about how revisions in the Steelers' offensive strategy had been vital in keeping Roethlisberger healthy. Normally by midseason he's dealing with at least one lingering injury issue.
But he headed into Monday's game in good shape. Then he left the game in the third quarter, apparently headed for an MRI. As Tomlin is fond of saying, such is life in the NFL.
The game against the Chiefs was scary enough. The possibility of facing the Ravens without Roethlisberger?
That's positively frightening.

Some people's happiness tends to hinge on asparagus season and while you could purchase asparagus out of season, you sometimes get shunned for things like that here. Yet when that first locally grown asparagus finally decides to show its ruddy little face at the grocery store or farmer's market it is advisable to buy it in bulk and find opportunities to creatively experiment with it.
Those first batches, especially, which are sweet and young, need nothing more than a quick roast in the oven. Or to be tossed with broccoli rabe and chickpeas and a dash of lemon juice, all of which is then thrown over some polenta, as is done here. Quick, simple and for the lemon lovers out there – utterly delicious.
Asparagus and Broccoli Rabe Over Polenta Recipe
|230 per serving
|Prep Time:
|15 mins
|Cook Time:
|40 mins
|Total Time:
|55 mins
- 4 cupsveggie or chicken broth
- 2 cupswater
- 2 cupspolenta
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tspdried basil
- 1 tbspolive oil
- 1 onion, chopped finely
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 (14 oz) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1/2 cupveggie broth
- 1/2 tspdried basil
- black pepper , to taste
- zest of 1 lemon , freshly grated
- juice half a lemon
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 bunch asparagus, about a pound, woody ends cut off and cut into 1-inch segments
- 1 bunch broccoli rabe
- zest of 1 lemon , freshly grated
- 1 1/2 lemons, juiced
- salt , to taste
1. Bring the 4 cups veggie broth and 2 cups water to a boil in a deep saucepan. Slowly whisk in the polenta, garlic, and basil. Reduce heat and simmer gently, stirring frequently in order to prevent sticking. Cook until very thick and smooth. Season with salt to taste.
2. While the polenta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet and saute the onion until it is browned, about 5 minutes. Add in the garlic and chickpeas, and cook for one minute. Add the broth, basil and black pepper and simmer for 5 minutes. Add the lemon peel and juice. In a separate bowl, mix the cornstarch with 1/4 cup water until dissolved. Pour into the pan, stir to mix, and then simmer until thickened, 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and keep warm.
3. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Once it boils, toss in the asparagus and broccoli rabe. Boil for 2-3 minutes. Strain. Toss with lemon zest, lemon juice, and salt, to taste.
4. Portion out the polenta into four bowls. Top each with the chickpea mixture as well as the asparagus and broccoli rabe mixture.

Make Your Voice Count!
This summer the Myeloma ACTION Team is organizing advocates from across the country to meet with their members of Congress and ask for their support of HR1801, the Cancer Drug Coverage Parity Act. Are you interested in attending or organizing a meeting with your Representative? We have broken down the process into 10 easy steps to help you participate in the political process. Click here to view the slideshow and then contact Aimee with your interest.
Congratulations to June Advocate of the Month, Barb Sarbaugh!
Barb's advocacy participation started last summer when she learned about Postcards for Parity. "I am not a group leader, I am not a medical expert, but I can explain the issue and encourage people to sign the cards. There are many in our group who are struggling and should not have additional concerns about finances on top of the medical concerns about this nasty disease that we all face. Anything that we can do to alleviate the financial hardship is worthwhile, in my opinion." Read More

Slow Down & Live, by Ed Zahniser (Pernot & Tatlin, 2011, free PDF posted at pernotandtatlin.com under Zines, 01 Zahniser)
Ed Zahniser's latest chapbook, Slow Down & Live, is a witty compilation of his "I Want To Quit My Day Job" series of poems.
This beautifully designed limited edition book is a collaboration with artist-designer Heather Watson, who illustrates the chapbook with drawings of envelope security patterns. The handmade limited edition is on scrap paper from Watson's day job and is hand-sewn in Japanese-style binding with Kraft paper covers. The beauty of the book as a physical object is a companion asset to the beauty of the poems inside.
Article Photos
First and foremost, Zahniser's poems are a unique meditation on what it means to work in America. However, this celebration of human labor is not evident at first.
The book opens with the poem, "I Want To Quit My Day Job." The poem is blunt, opening with the lines "I want to quit my day job/marry the boss & become a kept man." The poem seems to indicate that the speaker does not wish to work at all anymore, but as we read further we find that he wants more time to pursue the vocation of writing poetry. He wants to "stay home & write poems on whatever." We are then reminded that writing, too, is a job. Writing is work. In order to have time to pursue a career as a writer, he must "Say it again-slow down & live,/slow down & live."
At first glance the speaker's desire to pursue a career as a writer seems to be the desire to be idle enough to do nothing but write and do no other kind of work. However, the second poem, "I Want To Quit My Day Job & Bus Tables," refutes the stereotype of the lazy, dreaming poet with time on his hands. In this poem the poet chooses to "bus tables," and this job, considered menial by some, becomes a source of inspiration for the poet-worker who says, "I want to overhear toe-curling conversations/then turn them into instant myth." It seems that being a bus boy can make one a better poet, and by asserting this, Zahniser pays tribute to those who work at this often invisible and unappreciated job.
Zahniser continues his tribute to the often unappreciated underside of America's workforce in the poems which follow. He expresses admiration for the job of delivery driver when he writes "I want to retire from my desk job & be/a delivery driver for Domino's Pizza." This job will help him to meet people who are happy to see him:
Just think, me the former bureaucrat
and all these so expectant folk so
hungrily open their door to me.
Zahniser continues this train of thought in the next poem where the speaker wants to quit his day job and "be a WalMart greeter," another position which often goes unnoticed and unsung. He then condemns the world of the bureaucrat in the next poem, "I Want To Quit My Day Job in Bureaucracy." If only he could achieve this, it would create a world where "you don't have to convince/your boss your great idea was really his or hers." By leaving the world of bureaucracy, one's ideas belong to oneself. However, the freedom of leaving the bureaucratic world is yet a dream.
The speaker only "wants" to quit his day job. It hasn't happened yet: "But now I am one, in a cubicle no less." This awareness leads to the next poetic meditation where, trapped in an office, he dreams of what freedom would be like: "In my office daydreams I'm home fast asleep." He is trapped but dreaming of freedom, and the definition of freedom takes a surprising turn when he declares that his chosen profession would be "I want to learn to make cigars by hand."
Freedom becomes acting as both maker and vendor of cigars on a tropical island where tourists express appreciation for the work of his hands. This closing poem's praise of manual labor rounds off the book's central theme that the most invisible jobs may often produce the highest self-esteem and satisfaction, especially if one wants to write. This is reason enough to "slow down & live."

I've been asked by some of my followers to compile a master list of all the things I use to make my fun food fridays. Some of you will think this collection is cool, some of you will think I'm absolutely crazy, and most of you will think I need a serious intervention. I kind of didn't even realize myself how much stuff I had until I laid it all out to take pictures of it. You certainly don't need all of this stuff to make cute lunches for your kids though. You can make cute lunches for your kiddos with very minimal supplies. This is just my
addiction collection and I'm sure this won't be the last of it. You could also use this list of equipment for making bento lunch boxes. Kirsten is starting Junior Kindergarten in just under 2 weeks and you can guarantee that I'll be making her cute bento-style lunches for school using these very same supplies.
I also use the tweezers and pick all the time. When I use my small plastic cutters, these are essential to get the small details out of the cutters.
Other stuff I use occasionally are my apple slicer for slicing apples and other fruit, pizza roller for quickly cutting up quesadillas, pancakes, etc. I also have a variety of scoops and melon ballers for scooping fruit like watermelon, kiwi, cantaloupe, honeydew melon, etc.
You can find the plastic cutters with the handles here
And you can find a huge assortment of plastic cutters here
Some of my favourite comfort grip cutters are the butterfly
Here's a link to the dinosaur sandwich punch
You can find some adorable egg molds like a rabbit and bear, a heart and star, and a fish and car
Some of my favourites are the flower silicone cups, heart silicone cups, mini silicone cups, and flexible silicone cups
Here's some links to some small silicone cups: flowers, and animal farm
Here's a cute set I found on Amazon of cute animal picks
You can find the food safe markers here
You can get some icing eyes here, and here
Some of my favourite sprinkles are pink pearls, jumbo confetti, pink sugar, rainbow sprinkles, heart mix, and chocolate jimmies
A lot of you are probably thinking, where on earth are you storing all this stuff? Well, all the cookies cutters and decoration items are stored in a plastic bin that sits on top of my fridge. My tools are in my cutlery drawer. The sprinkles are with my spices. The dishes are with my regular dishes. Besides the huge plastic bin on top of my fridge, nothing else really takes up much space. That's probably why I didn't realize I had this much stuff!

A couple of thoughts: I know it isn't standard practice, but to be completely fair to the voters, when a City Council person steps down, shouldn't that person be replaced by offering the position to the candidate who had the next most votes in the last election and, if they decline, keep going down the line? Why should the council be the ones to pick who they think would be best? The voters already said who they thought should be running the town (It's us, isn't it?) On the national front, the Republicrat party has failed us miserably! To all you Democrats out there who think it is only the Republicans who cater to big business and have no morals, think again! Your Democratic Party is even worse and it is becoming so obvious. Almost all the politicians - including the great one, Obama - have sold us out. All I hear is "blah, blah, blah!"

Vodka from milk? Cheers!
Vodka from milk? Cheers!
A dairy farmer in England is getting cheers for his Black Cow home brew.
by Dennis Halladay, Hoard's Dairyman Western Editor
Whey, the liquid by-product of cheese making that is often disposed of as waste, is being made into vodka by a large-herd dairy farmer in England. No kidding.
Naturally, the mere fact he is doing it has been great fodder for headlines and news reports across Europe. But it's not just a publicity stunt; those same stories say the stuff is actually pretty good. In fact, Black Cow Vodka has already made a fan of actor Daniel Craig, the current James Bond star.
The self-taught distiller is Jason Barber, 47, who operates a 250-cow dairy in Beaminster, in southwest England. He is clearly not only an inventive chap, but a talented one, as well. Barber is a longtime cheesemaker who won the World Cheese Awards Cheddar Trophy in 2012.
He got the idea for using whey to make vodka after he saw a TV program about people in Serbia making vodka from yak milk.
Whey from his cheese making is saved and fermented using a special yeast, which turns whey sugars into alcohol. It is then distilled and treated — Barber says the process is a secret that took him three years to develop — and then triple-filtered and bottled.
Although gin is vastly more popular in England, Black Cow Vodka has made fans of customers at two posh restaurants near London that are owned by high-profile celebrity chefs. And the reviews haven't been bad either.
"OK, so vodka made from milk doesn't exactly sound enticing," said a recent review by food and drink critic Tom Parker Bowles in a Sunday edition of The Mail. "But Black Cow Vodka is one of the most remarkable things I've ever tasted — wonderfully smooth and beautifully rounded. It makes a Dirty Martini you'll never forget."

Let's be clear, the Hatters are happy to be here. However, they are not just happy to be here.
That might have been the case two years ago when the Hatters were selected to play fourth-ranked Tennessee on the Lady Vols home floor.
This year, however, the Stetson women's basketball team has many reasons to be excited about their chances heading into Saturday's NCAA Tournament First Round game vs. third-seeded UCLA.
Given its highest seed in school history (14), playing on a true neutral court at a location within driving distance of several players' hometowns, and competing with veteran squad that has played together for two years or more, Stetson (24-8) feels like they have an opportunity to pull the first-round upset.
"Two years ago we were really just happy to be there," Stetson head coach Lynn Bria said. "It was tough to get a 16-seed and have to go against Tennessee. It was a great experience being there but this year's team now knows the protocol. They are older now, more mature, and don't make the same mistakes they did two years ago. So even though we aren't as big, we are a much better team, we have more experience, and I think that makes our chances better."
Stetson held an afternoon practice Friday at St. John Arena on Ohio State's campus, as they prepared for Saturday's contest against the Bruins (25-7).
"We haven't played anybody like UCLA," senior Shanasa Sanders said during the practice day press conference. "They are a great team but we are prepared to play them (Saturday). They have great size and we are going to have to double-down and rebound."
The Hatters will indeed have to contend with a much larger Bruin squad. UCLA starts four players at 5-11 or taller, while Stetson starts three players listed at 5-7 or less.
"They are obviously bigger than us and present match‐up problems but I also think that we present match‐up problems because we can shoot the three and that's not what they want to do," Bria said. "They want to pound it inside and their guards will post‐up as well, so we have to make sure to help and double‐down in the post. We also will have to hit some outside shots."
Stetson is also expecting a large turnout of supporters on Saturday. With Victoria McGowan from Michigan, Ashley Buis and Jama Sharp from Indiana, and Ashley Dennis basically playing in her hometown, the crowd may provide a big advantage for Stetson. Coach Bria, who hails from West Virginia, and President Libby are also expected to bring a large contigent of supporters to the game.
Although the crowd may be a nice bonus, if the Hatters are to win, they will still have to execute on the court.
"If we are close and hanging in there I think the pressure is on (UCLA) because they are supposed to win the game according to the seed," Bria said. "If we can rebound with them and limit their points in the paint we have a real shot to win this game."
One thing is for sure - the Hatters believe that an upset is possible.
"We have a great opportunity (Saturday)," senior Victoria McGowan said. "We are just going to come out and play hard, do our best and leave everything out on the court because this may be the last time out there for some of us."
The game will be broadcast on ESPN2, ESPN3, and the WatchESPN App for mobile devices. Tip-off is scheduled for shortly after 1:30 p.m.

Dangers posed to atheists in Pakistan
Imagine living with the constant fear that an angry mob would torture you to death if they found out you are a free thinking person.
That's how many agnostics and atheists live in Pakistan. Being Pakistani and an atheist is undoubtedly a dangerous combination. This does not even begin to make sense until you bring the context into the picture, which is a religious verdict about apostates being punishable by death. So much for 'thinking freely or differently'. This religious ruling is the prime factor that puts the life of Pakistani atheists in danger. In fact 'thinking' is just as big of a sin in Pakistan as thinking differently. You are doomed if you decide to use your so-called god-given mental faculties and engage in critical thinking because thinking in matters of faith is a sin in itself.
Despite the fact that revealing yourself as an atheist in Pakistan is like having a death wish, some are brave enough to publicise their atheism. Yet most atheists living in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan have no choice but to live in disguise as Muslims. They are often called 'in-closet atheists' which is not far from reality. The constant dread, dismay and the pressures have taken a significant mental toll on atheists in Pakistan as religion takes hold on the majority of Muslims in the country.
Another significant factor jeopardising the life of atheists living in Pakistan is the Penal code of Pakistan, which has laws decreeing the death penalty for various religious offences. This may or may not come as a surprise to free thinking people all over the world, but the famous 'Blasphemy Law' proposes death penalty for merely defiling the 'sacred' name of Holy Prophet Muhammad. So far many innocent people have fallen prey to the draconian law of blasphemy:
"An estimated number of 1,274 people have been charged under the stringent blasphemy laws of Pakistan between 1986, from when they were included in the Constitution by General Zia ul Haq, until 2010." (Source: Dawn News)
The exhaustive list of people accused, jailed and even killed by radical Islamists 'in the name of Allah' can be accessed here.
As if blasphemy law wasn't enough, an apostasy bill proposing death penalty for 'apostates' (Muslims who choose to renounce their religion) was proposed by MMA (Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal - coalition of religious and theocratic parties) in 2006 which was later passed on to Standing Committee by the National Assembly of Pakistan.
Come to think of it, it's not the state or the laws that are dangerous; it's the majority of inhabitants of Pakistan who believe it's their duty to hunt you down and kill you for blasphemy and apostasy by taking law in their own hands. It's the mindset of the Muslim inhabitants of Pakistan that feeds the problem. According to a report published on in 29 July 2010 by Pew Research Center, 82% of Pakistanis favour stoning adulterers and 76% favour the death penalty for people who leave Islam. That says a lot about the doomed future of atheists in Pakistan as well as the doomed future of the country itself. That also says a lot about how peaceful Islam is and how pure 'the land of pure (Pakistan)' is.
Who is to blame for fostering this mindset in the majority Muslim community is a different story and it will take another article to expand on that. But to cut the long story short, the main culprit is religion. Seeing the numerous target and mass killings, not to mention honour killings, all done in the name of religion, it's evident that religion has harmed Pakistan and its inhabitants far more than anything else.
Interestingly enough, Islam is claimed to be a 'religion of peace' and considering how, according to Muslims, Holy Prophet Muhammad preached tolerance and forbade violence, one would think that Pakistan being an Islamic state would show tolerance towards the minorities. But the truth is Muslims are exceptionally intolerant and discriminate against those who don't think like them. This is apparent in actions of the extremist fundamental Muslims over the past few decades.
For example, in August 2009, seven Christians were burnt alive in Gojra town of Lahore, Punjab, over alleged desecration of Quran. Also, in March 2013 125 Christian houses were burnt over alleged blasphemy in Lahore. Even though the Muslims still assert that they are 'peaceful' and 'tolerant', the inconsistency between their words and actions is evident.
As one would expect taking into account the violence and bloodshed it generates, Islam has received much criticism from many well known figures including Richard Dawkins: "I'm reasonably optimistic in America and Europe. I'm pessimistic about the Islamic world. I regard Islam as one of the great evils in the world, and I fear that we have a very difficult struggle there."
Not surprisingly though, criticism too is not handled well in Pakistan and riots can be initiated as soon as someone publicly criticises or condemns Islam or a religious figure. This issue is crucial because it poses dangers for many people, but the most substantial issue, undeniably, is the role of government as well as the judiciary, which are both legally responsible for regulating the malicious and violent behaviour of people. However, no such action has been taken so far on the part of government or judiciary. Another key issue is the role of security services, which have been as inactive as the government. Apparently the authorities are either blind, or they endorse the brutality of the enraged masses. Given that the authorities are adherents of Islam, it's not surprising that they would consider letting the locals bring down their own version of justice on these secular ex-Muslims.
The crux of the matter is, although Pakistan exercises comparatively less extreme ways to 'punish' people for 'thinking' than other Islamic States, it is still not a safe haven for citizens who have chosen to abandon religion and move towards scientific, moral and ethical ways. Without a secular and liberal heading for Pakistan, people from other faiths and free-thinkers are never going to be safe, and will always be classed as second class citizens, amongst the Islamists.

It's the only awards show that's as much a concert as it is a parade of stars. So, who brought the goods Sunday night at the Grammys?
There were plenty of memorable moments, both solo performances and the duets and collaborations for which the Grammys are so famous.
Justin Timberlake made his much-anticipated – and, it turned out, sepia-toned – return to the Grammys, with help from Jay-Z, singing "Suit & Tie" and "Pusher Love Girl." That came soon after Taylor Swift opened the show with a flamboyant Alice in Wonderland take on her hit "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together."
Carrie Underwood, in a suddenly technicolor dress, belted out impressive renditions of "Blown Away" and "Two Black Cadillacs." And Frank Ocean, the golden boy of this year's Grammys, gave a hypnotic spin on his song "Forrest Gump."
Jack White and Kelly Clarkson also dazzled – he roared through "Love Interruption" and "Freedom at 21," while she offered poignant tributes to Patti Page and Carole King.
Then there was the all-star salute to Bob Marley, with Sting, Bruno Mars and Rihanna leading a rousing singalong – with everyone, on stage and off, seeming to join in.
