Will new Perry chief of staff hold job only briefly?
Ann S. Bishop, Gov. Rick Perry's new chief of staff, is on "a sabbatical" from her job as executive director of the Employee Retirement System and apparently will go back to running the state employee pension and health care fund, though it's unclear when, according to this post on the ERS website.
On Nov. 27, a day after Perry placed former chief of staff Jeff Boyd on the Texas Supreme Court, he announced that on Dec. 3, Bishop would replace Boyd.
In this press release, the Republican governor gave no indication Bishop would stay in the job only temporarily.
However, the undated item on the ERS site speaks of "Ann's temporary leave of absence." Last Friday, it says, the pension fund's board "approved the leadership change," which involved naming system lawyer Paula A. Jones as acting executive director. "It is the board and Ann's intent that she will return to ERS to continue her service as executive director immediately following the completion of her temporary leave," the post says.
How temporary is it, I asked Perry's press shop. Will Bishop stay with Perry just for the legislative session next year?
"The governor surrounds himself with the best and brightest and Ann is an exceptional leader who has led multiple agencies and her intent is to ultimately return to ERS after serving as chief of staff," spokeswoman Lucy Nashed responded in an email. I pressed for details on what "ultimately" means, and Nashed replied, "No specific date."
In February, Bishop, or at least her board, made some enemies by deciding to switch the state employee health insurance contract from Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas, which held it for eons, to UnitedHealth Group.
As my colleague Christy Hoppe noted at the time in this post, UnitedHealth had a very Perry-connected lobby team, including former chief of staff and presidential super PAC operator Mike Toomey; former Perry gubernatorial campaign manager Luis Saenz; and former Perry health care policy director Victoria Ford. In addition, Team UnitedHealth included former Perry aide Chris Cronn.
Blue Cross, of course, had its own high-powered team of Hillco Partners, lobbyist Mignon McGarry and former Bob Bullock budget adviser Sheila Beckett.
The switch, which required UnitedHealth to assemble a far-flung provider network, occurred Sept. 1. If there are problems, the affected state employees usually have the ear of their legislator. So to some, it's interesting that if lawmakers want to grill the ERS brass over the UnitedHealth deal, they're probably going to find one of the key people with knowledge out of reach, on the south side of the Capitol Rotunda, right between the two chambers. On sabbatical.

EAST LIVERPOOL - For most children, Christmas morning means waking up while it's still dark, excitedly stepping into a wonderland of brightly decorated trees, colorfully wrapped gifts and a day filled with family, food and fellowship.
But, as in every community, there are in the city some children to whom Christmas is only a myth, something other families celebrate, a day like most others in their lives where gifts, fellowship and sometimes even food are rare.
It is to this group of children the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 29 again hopes to bring some Christmas cheer with the annual Cops and Kids campaign.
In its 13th year, the program formerly known as Shop with a Cop depends solely on the generosity of the community to provide not only toys but warm coats, boots and gloves to children for whom Christmas is not always merry.
Chief John Lane is chairing the campaign for his third year and said donations have been coming in slower than usual, perhaps because of the poor economy.
But, according to Lane, he is hopeful people will come through again this year as they have always done to help the kids.
He said one resident never fails to donate $5 each year, "all she can afford," while a family from outside the area
consistently donates $300, and both donations are always appreciated.
"It all adds up," Lane said, saying 62 children were given a happy holiday last year, with $12,915 spent during a shopping trip with police officers, who were assisted by their wives and other family members in helping the kids choose their treasures.
"We average about 60 kids a year," Lane said.
The children chosen to participate are recommended by their respective schools, with Lane noting, "The teachers see them every day; they know what they need."
And, while family financial situations are generally the basis for participants, Lane said that is not always the case. Sometimes, a child is chosen due to another situation in the home, such as the loss of a parent, where the child "just needs his day brightened."
Letters have gone out to local businesses and some former donors, soliciting donations, and Lane said any amount is appreciated.
The children will be taken shopping on Dec. 15 this year, so donations can be made any time before then.
They can be dropped off at the police station in the basement of City Hall or checks r money orders can be sent to F.O.P. #29, Cops and Kids Program, P.O. Box 233, East Liverpool, Ohio, 43920.

Dos Cabezas RBI Better Than Uno
Yaniel Cabezas lined a walk-off bases-loaded RBI single into the LF corner with one out in the bottom of the 9th, as the Cubs rallied for two runs in the final frame to edge the Giants 3-2 in AZ Instructional League action this afternoon at Fitch Park Field #3 in Mesa.
Down 2-1, the EXTREMELY patient Garrett Schlecht led off the bottom of the 9th for the Cubs by drawing a walk on a 3-2 pitch. Rubi Silva then laid down what was intended to be a sacrifice bunt, but it turned out to be a bunt single as the Giants third-baseman could not make a play. Danny Lockhart followed by laying down another bunt, and this time the ball was fielded by the third-baseman, but the throw to 1st base ticked-off the second-baseman's glove and into RF foul territory, allowing Schlecht to score from 2nd base with the tying run, Silva to advance to 3rd, and Lockhart to take 2nd base. The Giants opted to pitch to hot-hitting (429/551/857) Micah Gibbs, but he drew a walk anyway, loading the bases with no outs. Neftali Rosario then struck out swinging with the bases loaded, leaving it up to Yaniel Cabezas. And Cabezas came through, hammering a line-drive into the LF corner to score Silva from 3rd base and give the Cubs the victory.
Cabezas drove-in the first Cubs run as well, ripping an opposite-field RBI single over the second-baseman's head with one out in the bottom of the 4th, driving-in Micah Gibbs from 3rd base. Gibbs had reached base on a lead-off triple (near HR) off the right-centerfield fence.
The 22-year old Cabezas was a Cuban defector who signed with the Cubs last December for a reported $500K bonus. Cabezas played on the Cuban Junior National Team and for Los Vaqueros de La Habana (Serie Nacional) with fellow Cubs minor leaguer 2B-OF Rubi Silva. Cabezas and Silva defected together, and both players signed with the Cubs on the same day (12-15-2010), with Silva getting a reported $1M bonus.
While Silva had a good first year in the U. S. (he hit 285/305/392 combined between Peoria & Daytona, and he was 4th in the MWL in triples), Cabezas struggled at the plate with the AZL Cubs and at Boise (combined 202/284/260). However, Cabezas did hit a team-leading 356/402/520 with a team-leading 17 RBI in 82 PA with the EXST Cubs in April & May prior to the start of the short-season leagues in June, and was arguably the EXST Cubs MVP. (Cabezas also threw out 27% of opposing base-stealers in 44 games behind the plate with AZL Cubs & Boise).
Cabezas is currently hitting 348/423/391 and playing solid defense behind the plate at Instructs (which is approximately equivalent to Boise), and despite his offensive struggles with the AZL Cubs and the Boise Hawks in 2011, I think it is likely that he will be the #1 catcher at Peoria on Opening Day 2012.
RHP Dillon Maples (Cubs 2011 14th round draft pick - $2.5M bonus) made his second Instructs appearance, throwing two shutout innings (28 pitches - 15 strikes). He allowed a single and a double, and he hit a batter (and almost hit two more). He was behind on almost every hitter, and the outs he did get were mainly ground balls on low-90's two-seamers (and he did not rack up any strike outs). He also benefitted from a CS. But at least he looked better than he did in his pro debut last week, when he walked three and couldn't retire the side before reaching his pitch limit.
Ex-Cubs Shawon Dunston, Sr and Lee Smith were at the game today (both are serving as instructors with the Giants), so Shawon Sr got a chance to see his son play (although Shawon Jr is presently buried deep in a 1-25 slump).
Here is the abridged box score (Cubs players only):
1. Rubi Silva, 2B: 2-4 (4-3, 1B, 5-3, 1B, R)
2. Danny Lockhart, 3B: 0-3 (L-1, 6-3, 4-3, SH-E4)

4. Neftali Rosario, DH-C: 0-4 (K, K, 6-3, K)
5. Yaniel Cabezas, C-DH: 2-4 (K, 1B, 4-3, 1B, 2 RBI)
6. Shawon Dunston, Jr, LF: 0-2 (4-3, 1-3 SH, 3-1)
7. Trey Martin, CF: 0-3 (6-3, K, F-7)
8. Justin Marra, DH #2: 1-3 (1B, P-4, L-1)
9. Carlos Penalver, SS: 1-3 (6-4-3 DP, 1B, F-8)
10. Garrett Schlecht, RF: 1-2 (1B, F-8, BB, R)
1. Zac Rosscup: 1.0 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K, 21 pitches (10 strikes), 0/1 GO/FO
2. Dillon Maples: 2.0 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K, 1 HBP, 28 pitches (15 strikes), 4/1 GO/FO

What does Spencer hit on radar gun? Listened to Smokies broadcast one night when he did mopup/blowout duty and announcer said stadium gun showed 99. Likely inaccurate, but he threw in low 90's as 18 year old at high school near here. Can he help as pitcher?
Re: Dos Cabezas RBI Better Than Uno
I don't know if this us 3/44, but Pete Gammons says the Astros are moving to the AL. I always thought it was bullshit having 6 teams in the NL Central. This certainly can't hurt the Cubs chances of making it to the promise land, even though the Astros are turrible.
Re: Dos Cabezas RBI Better Than Uno
This certainly can't hurt the Cubs chances of making it to the promise land
Couldn't it? Doesn't the extreme suckitude of one (or more *ahem Pirates) team in the division increase the chances of winning the Wild Card?
If it happens, I'll miss watching games played in that park. I'll also miss Cubs domination of the shitty-ass Astros lineup. Wood's 20-k game and Zambrano's no-hitter both came against the Astros. Even Ryan O'Malley managed 8 innings of shutout ball against them in 2006 and had casual fans around the net campaigning for him to have a rotation spot in 07.
Re: Dos Cabezas RBI Better Than Uno
They were also NL champs in 2005.
Re: Dos Cabezas RBI Better Than Uno
Yeah, too remember that shitty-ass Astros lineup that Wood dominated. This was a team that only won 102 games and lead the league in runs scored.
They only made the playoff six times (and as noted the WS once with 6x2nd place non playoff finishes) since the NL Central started. They're definitely much worse than our beloved Cubs (4 playoffs, no WS and no additional 2nd place finishes).
Re: Dos Cabezas RBI Better Than Uno
Yeah, the Wood case was different. The shitty Astro offenses I'm remembering are mostly the last 3-4 years. And the Astros are not the perennial losers that the Pirates have been. The only way the Astros not being in the division could even hurt the Cubs slightly is in the short term--as their franchise rebuilds--and that's only in the sense that having a couple teams to beat up on slightly improves a team's chances for the Wild Card.
Zambrano did seem to love to face the Astros, especially in Houston. But Zambrano is probably gone, too.

According to a report out this week, the country singer has kept a "son" from his wife Faith Hill and his fans – except the "son" isn't biologically his.
Tyler Zarbo, a 23-year-old student tells The National Enquirer, that when McGraw, now 45, was engaged to his mother, Kristine Donahue, the Grammy Award winner helped raise him.
The report claims that although McGraw and Donahue split, McGraw maintained a relationship with Zarbo, who lives in Orlando, Fla. But McGraw's rep, Mary Hilliard Harrington, says these claims couldn't be farther from the truth.
"The National Enquirer story is full of inaccuracies and misrepresentations about Tim and Faith. We aren't going to comment on false statements that appear to have been sensationalized for the purpose of selling tabloid magazines," she tells PEOPLE.
Zarbo told the tabloid that McGraw was "like a father to him" and that he "saw me as the son he never had, and we've stayed in contact."
He adds: "I wish he could have remained as my substitute dad, but it just wasn't meant to be."

quote: Ever since Manning was accused of being the source for the WikiLeaks disclosures, those condemning these leaks have sought to distinguish them from Ellsberg's leak of the Pentagon Papers. With virtual unanimity, Manning's harshest critics have contended that while Ellsberg's leak was justifiable and noble, Manning's alleged leaks were not; that's because, they claim, Ellsberg's leak was narrowly focused and devoted to exposing specific government lies, while Manning's was indiscriminate and a far more serious breach of secrecy. When President Obama declared Manning guilty, he made the same claim: "No it wasn't the same thing. Ellsberg's material wasn't classified in the same way."Ellsberg — dumped 7,000 pages of Top Secret documents : the highest known level of classification; by contrast, not a single page of what Manning is alleged to have leaked was Top Secret, but rather all bore a much lower-level secrecy designation. In that sense, Obama was right: "Ellsberg's material wasn't classified in the same way" — the secrets Ellsberg leaked were classified as being far more sensitive. To the extent one wants to distinguish the two leaks, Ellsberg's was the far more serious breach of secrecy. The U.S. Government's own pre-leak assessment of the sensitivities of these documents proves that. How can someone — in the name of government secrecy and national security — praise the release of thousands of pages of Top Secret documents while vehemently condemning the release of documents bearing a much lower secrecy classification? Nor is there any way to distinguish the substance of the two leaks.

LORETTO - St. Francis men's basketball coach Rob Krimmel doesn't often feel disappointed with his team's overall performance.
But Saturday, he was. And he had good reason to be.
Aside from a short burst in the second half, the Red Flash couldn't get much else to go their way in an 81-56 Northeast Conference loss to Wagner at DeGol Arena.
"We knew coming into the game that Wagner was a physical team," Krimmel said. "We knew that they were experienced and tough.
"In the second half, we made that run, but it was too little, too late to play with that energy. I'm certainly disappointed with this one because I thought for the first game, for 40 minutes, we just didn't respond."
And things may get worse before they get better.
The Red Flash couldn't scratch out a win during their four-game homestand, and now they hit the road for three of their toughest league games.
St. Francis visits LIU Brooklyn on Thursday before a date with St. Francis Brooklyn on Feb. 2 and a rematch with Robert Morris on Feb. 6.
"You've got to protect home court," Krimmel said, whose team has now lost seven straight. "You've absolutely got to protect home court. We didn't do that here."
Now going on the road, "Those are three of the top teams in the league right now. It'll be nice to hopefully have everybody back and going with a full roster, but those are three of the most talented teams and three of the most experienced teams."
Junior guard Umar Shannon (ankle) and freshman forward Stephon Mosley (concussion) sat out again, and so did their combined 22.3 points per game.
But their absence wasn't the only thing that was troubling.
The Red Flash (1-18, 1-7 NEC) were a miserable 20-for-56 (36 percent) from the floor and turned the ball over 16 times.
They were crushed on the boards, too, losing that battle, 38-28.
"I thought my guys came out with the right intensity, the right focus on the defensive end of the court, which was my focus today," said Wagner coach Bashir Mason, whose team improved to 11-8 overall and 5-3 in the NEC. "We wanted to really work on our defense and execute. What we stress a lot is field-goal percentage defense. We want to force guys into taking highly contested shots. With that, we have to finish good defense with rebounding."
"I think it was a combination of their defense and us rushing a little bit," Krimmel said of SFU's shooting woes. "We didn't shoot well. Without [Mosley] and Umar, we needed guys to step up and make shots in this game, and we didn't [get that]."
St. Francis may get a boost when it makes its Brooklyn road swing next week.
Both Shannon and Mosley could be in the lineup, re-establishing the chemistry that has been building since the beginning of the new year.
"We were getting into a chemistry with a group of guys, and they were starting to play really, really well," Krimmel said. "You take two starters out of the lineup and insert some guys that were a part of the rotation, but a little different role, it broke a little bit of our rhythm."
The Seahawks - who moved to 8-0 this season, 18-0 over the past two seasons, when holding opponents to 60 points or fewer - had five players score in double figures, led by Jonathon Williams' 19 points.
As a unit, Wagner was 34-for-59 (58 percent) from the field, including an impressive 19-for-30 (63 percent) effort in the second half.
"We're not a team where we rely on one or two guys to score," Mason said. "We're a pretty good team where we can have multiple guys score in double figures if we're playing the right way. We did that this afternoon.
"We were smart, moving the ball, taking advantage of what was given to us. We shared the ball and we were able to get some easy layups around the basket, especially there in the second half."
Earl Brown and Ben Millaud-Meunier each had a team-high 12 points for the Red Flash. Dom Major had nine points on 3-of-8 shooting from behind the arc.
"Even before the injuries, he kind of worked his way in at Monmouth and FDU and played well," Krimmel said of Millaud-Meunier's development and improvement. "And he earned those minutes before the injuries happened. Now with the injuries, his role has increased a little bit, but I have complete faith in him. He's going to be a good player for us."

Primary systemic amyloidosis is a rare disease. It occurs in the absence of predisposing diseases and is characterized by deposition of amyloid chiefly in the tongue, the alimentary tract and the heart. Koletsky and Stecher1 recently reviewed 24 cases of this disease reported in the American and foreign literature and added 2 cases of their own. Two additional cases have since been reported.2
The following case involved an example of this disease with primary involvement of the alimentary tract; it presents several unusual features.
M. T., a 66 year old Negress, was admitted to the medical service of the Grady Hospital in July 1943, with the chief complaint of massive hematemesis three hours before admission.
—The patient had been seen frequently in the outpatient clinic since 1927, when she came to the hospital because of constipation and poor appetite. At that time she appeared

Arguably one of the best rivalries in all of college football takes place today in Columbus, Ohio when the Michigan Wolverines led by beleaguered head coach Rich Rodriguez faces the No. 8 Ohio State Buckeyes.
Since head coach Jim Tressel took over the Buckeyes program, Ohio State has won five straight, and a victory today would match legendary coach Woody Hayes record of six-straight between 1972-77.
Rumors are cranked up once again about Rich Rod's future in Ann Arbor, so a win today could save his job.
Seriously, is three seasons enough time to give a head coach? Is it realistic?
We shall see.
For now sit back and enjoy rivalry weekend with this annual epic match up.

Bent poles
Good went BAD
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
We used this tent twice in great weather! We loved it. The third time we camped there was a rain storm. This storm bent our poles which made our tent collapse and ended up with tears in the tent! We had a mountain hardware tent set up as well. Nothing happened to that tent! We were very disappointed in this tent. We have sent two emails to kelty and have not heard back. I also contacted backcountry and they told me I would have to deal with it myself. I am very frustrated that I spent a lot if money for a tent that only lasted 3 camping trips! So if you plan on using this tent in perfect weather, great! You will love it. But if it rains or the wind happens to blow, say good bye to your tent!
Great Option for Families!
I've used this with a family of 5 in more remote car camping situatuions for trip 2-7 days long with no issues. This is a great choice for larger families or ones looking for a little extra room. I'd been holding off on the purchace because there aren't a lot of good choices in tents this size. Tons of room, sturdy, and has held up to moderate incliment weather so far. The set up is easy too because of the color coordination, just don't get confused by the 3 orange pole sleves and the corresponding 2 orange poles and one grey (center) pole.

The perfect family tent!!!!
I did two months of research and this was the tent I went with. Glad I did. Plenty of room for a family of four. I am 6' tall and I still have about 10" of room above my head. I can put this tent up with my wife in about 5 minutes. The thing I like best besides the head room is that it is a free standing tent. We have camped in this tent three times and could not be happier with our choice. We have yet to camp in the rain but we did give it the hose test and it passed. Absolutely no water. The only thing I dislike about this tent is the floor. The material is thin. I recommend the footprint. And the stakes are cheap. Every tent i have ever bought came with cheap stakes. Must be a standard. Other than that this is the best tent I have ever owned. It's worth every penny:)
A Decent Value with Annoyances
Things that I like:
- The tent is easy enough to put up that it can be done by one person, despite its size.
- Color-coding of the poles and the corner rainfly attach points is helpful.
- Very roomy with lots of headroom to stand up in.
- It's reasonably light for a tent this big, though certainly you're not going to backpack with it.
- The rainfly provides excellent to-the-ground coverage of front and rear.
- Temendous ventilation without the rainfly on, and still good with it on.
They skimped on a bunch of little details, which is annoying when you spend the extra for a good brand like Kelty:
- The stakes are pathetically soft aluminum wire. They really cannot be used in hard or rocky soil, and you should immediately replace them. Who thought I needed finicky, lightweight stakes in an 8-person tent that weighs 30 lbs?
- The tent has 7 attach points for guy lines, but it only comes with 6 lines.
- The rainfly attaches to the frame of the tent with velcro, but that velcro is just barely long enough to make it around the frame poles. On the corners this works, as the pole is exposed, but across the roofline, the poles are in sheathes that have cutouts for the velcro straps. However, the cutouts only cut back to within an inch of the pole, leaving the velcro straps about an inch short of the length needed to actually fasten them. I have never succeeded in fastening them.
- Bizarre lack of thought to the packaging: the tent rolls up and it placed in the duffel bag without any kind of binding. The rainfly rolls up and has a thin ribbon supplied to tie it (a ribbon that is prone to disappearing, as it color matches the tent and bags). The stakes and the poles each have their own bags, and a ribbon is sewed on the bags to tie them shut, but it's sewn so close to the mouth of the bag that you'll never spend the time fussing with it to try to get it to stay closed if there's any kind of weather going on. Come on guys - I have 10 lbs of high-strength aluminum poles in a bag, but the cost and/or weight of a drawstring is just too much?
- The feeling I get is that whoever designed this tent had a great background in small backpacking tents, where one obsesses about weight, and didn't really make the leap to the car camping mindset, where convenience is a lot more important than weight. Blow the extra two pounds to give us steel stakes that can be driven into the ground without collapsing, a couple more inches of velcro, and some drawstrings on the bags.
Things that could be improved:
- The rainfly leaves the sides exposed, and the side windows have zip covers. If you get direct rain on one of these windows, you may get a trickle of water at the corners through the zipper. Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't.
- The "vestibule" doesn't have a roof, per se. It is just part of the rainfly that runs from the top of the tent down to the ground at a shallower angle than the front of the tent. Don't expect to be able to stand up in it.
- The design of this tent largely depends upon your ability to predict from which direction the wind will come in a storm and align the tent such that it hits the front or back and not the sides. This is not uncommon in tents this size, so I'm not dinging the tent too badly on this, but let me explain. First, the tent base is 13'x11', but there are only six stake loops - one at each corner and one in the center of the 13' spans, which means the front and back. So from the front/back, you have 3 stakes across with 6'6" spans, but from the only marginally shorter sides, you have only one at each corner, giving an 11' span for wind to get under. And it will. Add to that that the rainfly comes to the ground in the front and back (but not the sides), and that it is secured to the ground with three more stakes on the front and back. Then, in addition, the rainfly has a guy line at each corner, as well as one in the center of the front, and two near the center of the back. So, if the wind hits the back of the tent, it hits 10 stakes, in the front, 9 stakes, and in either case, the rainfly is designed to split the wind around the tent. But if the wind hits the sides, only 4 stakes, (two at each corner - none holding down the center of the 11' span). Add to this that the sides of the tent tilt out so that the window points slightly towards the ground, and you have yourself a design that is extremely effective at catching the wind and allowing high winds to peal your tent off the ground from the side if, say, the wind shifts 90 degrees right before an afternoon Rock Mountain thunderstorm.
The video makes the rainfly look like it...
The video makes the rainfly look like it is big enough to use as a porch with guy lines and trekking poles but the pictures of the rain fly don't seem like it's that big at all. Can you please clarify if the rain fly that comes with the tent is big enough to make a porch or if there is an additional piece that is attached to get that effect. Thank you.
I was wondering the same thing!
does this tent come with a separate rain...
does this tent come with a separate rain cover or it it rain proof without one?
It comes with a waterproof fly; see the second detail shot for a picture of it.

Blend in express is huuuuuuuuuge! just hoping they add it to express for desktop as well.. (and even support wpf for that matter)
now there is only one part missing..
WinRT. For. Desktop. Apps.
To have Blend integrated into everything else is so much more logical. It's always felt weird to have to use 2 different tools.

The greater Charleston area emerged from the recent recession with one of the highest population growth rates in the nation, as people moved to Berkeley, Charleston and Dorchester counties at a brisk pace.
Numbers for context
Here's a look at how the Charleston area gained population, from April 2010 through July 2012, compared with other parts of the United States:There are 381 metropolitan areas in the U.S. Among them, the tri-county Charleston metro area was number 12 for population growth.There are 3,194 counties in the U.S. Berkeley County was 35th fastest for population growth. Dorchester County was 97th. Charleston County just missed the top-100 list.South Carolina's population increased by 2.1 percent, or 98,359 people, during this time. The tri-county area population grew by 4.9 percent, or 32,831 people.Most of the area's growth came from "net domestic migration" — more people moving in from other U.S. locations than were moving out.
New census estimates show the tri-county area was the 12th-fastest-growing metropolitan area in the nation. Berkeley and Dorchester counties made a top-100 list of fastest-growing U.S. counties.
"That was a bit of a surprise," said Mike MacFarlane with the state's Office of Research and Statistics. He said Charleston County was projected to have a population of 370,900 people in 2020, but the Census Bureau estimates suggest that the county could have that many residents now.
Charleston County missed being on the 100-fastest growth list by a just fraction of a percentage point.
Ben Hebert, 24, is one of the recent arrivals.
He moved from Baltimore to Charleston in early 2012, lured by what he saw as a better quality of life, and a job as a systems analyst at the Medical University of South Carolina.
"It makes it easier for me to live the life I like and pay my student loans," said Hebert, who lives in West Ashley.
The Census Bureau estimates that between April 2010, when the decennial census results were tabulated, and July 2012, nearly 33,000 people were added to the tri-county population.
Some of the growth came from the area's positive birth rate, but most came from people moving in.
Charleston County remains the population center of the area, with more than half the population of the tri-county area, although that could change. For every 15 additional Charleston County residents recently, nearly 18 moved in to Dorchester and Berkeley counties.
Berkeley booming
Berkeley County saw the most growth in the region, and grew faster than all but several dozen counties in the nation, adding nearly 12,000 residents in the course of 27 months.
"I'm sure it's going to cause a lot more traffic, but it's also going to bring a lot of convenience to us," said Gail Richvalsky, who moved to Berkeley County with her husband Thomas in 2010 to be near their children and their families in Mount Pleasant and Summerville.
"This is a wonderful place to live," said Richvalsky, who is lifestyle director at Del Webb at Cane Bay. "There is always something going on."
Elaine Morgan, executive director of the Berkeley Chamber of Commerce, said the chamber's national ad campaign touting what the county has to offer may have contributed.
"I think we're doing a good job of getting out how great Berkeley County is," she said. "It's a beautiful place with great natural resources, and once you come, you usually want to come back."
Population growth is seen as a boon to the real estate and retail markets and all the jobs they create, but it also means more demand for wider roads and larger schools.
Goose Creek Mayor Mike Heitzler said some of Berkeley's growth comes from the fact that homes are less expensive there than in parts of the area.
"Many are looking for the biggest bang for their money, and we have inexpensive costs of living and for housing," he said.
'Feels like a small town'
Among those many were Jenn McMahon-Shaw, a stay-at-home mom with two preschoolers who moved to Hanahan from Pennsylvania in 2011 when her husband, Bob Shaw, was relocated.
"It turned out to be one of the best decisions we ever made," she said. "We looked at the whole area and then chose Hanahan.
"It's close to so many things, but yet it still feels like a small town," said McMahon-Shaw. "There are plenty of parks, shopping, things for the kids to do, and the schools are good."
From 2000 through 2010, it was Dorchester County that grew most quickly, with a whopping 42 percent population gain.
The Census Bureau estimates that Berkeley County outpaced Dorchester more recently, but Dorchester was still among the fastest-growing in the nation.
Some of that growth is coming from places nearby.
Phil Hulet and his wife Nancy moved to the new Bellwood subdivision near Summerville six months ago, after two years in Mount Pleasant. She wanted to be a little closer to her retail job and he wanted out of Mount Pleasant.
"It's just too yuppie for me," Hulet said. "Here, we have truck drivers and Boeing people."
That's Dorchester County in a nutshell. The county owes its recent growth to the same things that have been bringing people here all along.
"It has that 'town square' appeal. It's affordable; I think that's always going to explain growth," said Phillip Ford, a resident who is the Charleston Trident Home Builders Association executive director.
"The community, the schools, low taxes and the proximity to Charleston," said County Council Chairman Bill Hearn, who came 23 years ago for those reasons and hears newcomers talk about them repeatedly in his job as a real estate attorney. "It's a nice place."
The only real complaints are traffic and infrastructure, such as roads that for years did not keep up with the growth.

An Exclamatiion, normally good in nature, refering to the virtue of a particular instance or action in accordance to its difficulty, risk or originality. Can also refer to an object that is the result of a "wicked sick" action (this particular usage does not necessarily denote a positive result). Similar in nature but not necessarily in definition to "w00t", as it is almost completely defined by the speaker/writer.

"A 1080 with an indy? Wicked Sick"
"Yeah he was fine but the car and the pillar looked wicked sick."

The Church of Saint John the Beloved (28 Sumter Ave, downtown Summerville) has announced the roster for the Sixth Annual Concert Series.
Saint John the Beloved has been hosting a series of music and performing arts events each season bringing a wide variety of talented performers to the Summerville area.
The 2014-15 season is no exception, and in fact, presents the most diverse programming to date with groups ranging from classical choral and chamber ensembles, to jazz, folk music featuring spirituals, Celtic music, and Tuvan throat singing.
Each event is usually at 4 p.m. on the first Sunday of every month beginning in September.
The series will kick off on Sunday, Sept. 7 with Chamber Music for Organ & Strings featuring the Micah Gangwer and Asako Kramer on violins, Damien Kramer cello, and David Friddle on organ. Friddle is the Music Director and organist at St. John the Beloved. This dynamic program will feature works by Corelli, Dvorák, and Rheinberger.
SJB Music Director David Friddle: Most people think of chamber music as written for individual instruments and piano; however, there is a relatively large body of work written for instruments and organ. In this concert we explore three different composers and periods and will demonstrate a new side to the pipe organthat of chamber music instrument.
On Oct. 5, the jazz and classical combo Common Ground will present My Soul in Stillness Waits, a program of hymns and song arrangements tailor-made for the group. Common Ground features classical soprano Jill Terhaar Lewis with jazz musicians Robert Lewis on soprano saxophone, Gerald Gregory on piano, and Ron Wiltrout on drums.
In honor of the Feast of All Souls, Nov. 2s program is a special performance of Brahms A German Requiem featuring the St. John the Beloved Adult Choir accompanied by piano duo Myungsook Stoudenmire of Summerville and Janet Elshazly of Mt. Pleasant and directed by SJB Music Director Dr. David Friddle. Sunday, Nov. 2 at 4 p.m. Soloists are Jill Terhaar Lewis, soprano and Daniel Megli, baritone. In the spirit of Brahms composing his Requiem in the vernacular to be understood by all, this work will be performed in English.
Decembers concert will delight audiences with a holiday program by the Charleston Symphony Orchestras Brass Ensemble. Select performers from brass and percussion sections of the Charleston Symphony Orchestra will be featured in this event in a program of traditional carols, select ensembles for brass and percussion, and including a sing-along. Information about the program and tickets will be announced.
Nothing conjures the holidays more than a festive brass ensemble, says Friddle, and the CSO performers will help us all get into the spirit!
The Celtic Band Good Foot will present a program on Feb. 8, 2015. This ensemble includes Bart Saylor on a variety of instruments along with Susan Conant on flute and whistle and Karin McQuade on fiddle and vocals. Good Foot performs traditional Celtic music, along with American roots music.
March 1, 2015, features African-American Spirituals with Voices of Deliverance, a group based in Charleston. Voices of Deliverance is a Charleston-based a cappella vocal group, specializing in Spirituals, along with a wide repertoire of other styles as well.
After the March concert, there will be a hiatus in April to celebrate Easter.
The Concert Series will resume in May for the final event featuring the Alash Ensemble, a group of Tuvan Throat Singers. Tuvan throat singers master the art of singing multiple pitches with one voice. The Alash Ensemble will present a program of traditional music with modern influences.
Having heard this group before, Friddle said, I can say confidently that Alash Ensemble is an amazing musical experience. Their appeal is to every groupfrom youngsters to seniors, traditional to alternative and all who attend will come away impressed with just how much the human body can do. Its a physiological demonstration of folk music that is both beautiful and entertaining.
The St. John the Beloved Concert Series is funded by St. John the Beloved Catholic Church and generous donors. Most events are free and open to the public as a gift to the community.
Donations received at series events will help to continue to support the concert series. Patrons should pay as they able; those who cannot donate are still warmly welcomed. For more information, contact St. John the Beloved Music at (843) 873-0631 ext. 15.

Tom Kalpin never talked about his 1944 class ring, the one he lost at a beach in Canada shortly after his graduation from the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy.
Gone and lost forever is probably what the young Tonawanda man, fresh out of school and headed for the war, thought at the time.
Nearly 70 years later, Kalpin is gone; he died in 1991. But the thick gold band with the red stone and the initials "TGK" engraved inside found its way home last week and into the hands of the three daughters he left behind.
"It's pretty wild," Elmer Covelli said of the story behind the ring. "I'm just glad we found a home for it."
Covelli should know. He's the one who found the ring in the late 1950s or early 1960s and spent decades wondering to whom it belonged.
His search ended last week when he and Kalpin's daughters gathered at the All Heroes Memorial in Tonawanda's Niawanda Park, just blocks from where Kalpin grew up.
When Covelli handed over the ring, the three women hovered over it, staring at it and listening as the Eggertsville man told them the tale of his 50-year search for their father.
"To me, the story is more about his journey than ours," Janet Curry, one of Kalpin's daughters, said of Covelli. "He could have sold it. He could have just trashed it. But he didn't."
It was so long ago, Covelli can't remember the exact year or beach he was at when he found the ring buried in the sand. He thinks it was Sherkston or Wyldewood, but again, it was a long, long time ago, too long to remember.
"I took it home and just threw it in a box with some other jewelry," Covelli said. "About six or seven months ago, I was looking for something in the box, found the ring and thought, 'You know, a family would probably like this back.'?"
He also realized that with the help of the Internet, a tool he didn't have 50 years ago, he might finally be able to track down the owner.
"My son was good enough to jump on board," Covelli said. "He has a friend at the Pentagon, and they began networking it and, wham bam, came up with the name."
Thomas G. Kalpin.
OK, but who is he? And even more important, how do we find him? Covelli wondered.
A quick Google search led them to a name, address and phone number in North Tonawanda and Kalpin's former wife, Elaine.
"I kind of blindsided her," Covelli said, "but I had nowhere else to go."
Elaine Kalpin admits she was shocked by the phone call and the news of a ring she never knew existed.
She now thinks she knows how her former husband, an avid swimmer, lost what she assumes was one of his most beloved personal possessions.
"I'm sure he was very proud of it and that's probably why he wore it to the beach," Elaine Kalpin said. "He took great pride in being part of the Merchant Marines."
Not surprisingly, Elaine Kalpin's first reaction, after getting off the phone with Covelli, was to alert her daughters to the big news.
"My mother called and said, 'I have a story for you,'" said Curry. "And when I heard it, I cried."
Perhaps even more amazing than the story behind the ring is the fact that it looks new, even now, 68 years after Kalpin left the academy and after at least 10 years buried in the sand before Covelli found it.
"I didn't know anything about it," said Kathy Davis, one of his daughters. "He never talked about it. My mother didn't even know about it."
For Davis and her sisters, the ring is more than a long-lost heirloom; it's one of the few material remembrances they have of a father they lost more than 20 years ago.
"Happiness, just happiness," said Karen Vollmer, another daughter, when asked how she felt upon hearing about the ring. "He didn't have a lot of possessions, especially from his youth."
All three women suspect that the ring, like World War II, was something their father didn't want to talk about.
Kalpin spent much of his military service in the Pacific and, even though he was in the Merchant Marines, he saw more than his share of the war.
"We never really talked about what he did during the war," said Curry. "But I do remember him saying they were in great danger."
After the war, their father returned home and went on to the University of Buffalo, where he received a degree in mechanical engineering.
Curry thinks one of his greatest legacies is the grandchildren - five of nine - who followed suit and went to school for engineering.
But that's different.
In the ring that finally came home, she and her sisters have something concrete, something they can hold in their hands, that reminds them of the father, who like thousands of other fathers went off to war, came home and never wanted to talk about it.

RICFest Homecoming Update: All outdoor activities planned for Oct. 1 have been moved indoors. Click here for details.
Prospective Undergraduates
In order to assist students who are unable to meet the cost of financing a college education, the Office of Student Financial Aid administers an extensive program of scholarships, grants, loans, and part-time employment opportunities. Demonstrated financial need is the primary factor used in the awarding of financial aid, although some scholarships are given each year in recognition of superior academic achievement or special talent. Approximately 92 percent of full-time freshmen applied for financial aid in the fall 2014 semester, and 69 percent of those students were awarded need-based financial assistance. The average need-based financial aid package was $9,501. This includes scholarships, grants, loans, and federal work-study employment. Entering freshmen are encouraged to use our Net Price Calculator to estimate the cost of attendance after typical grant and scholarship awards.
General Eligibility Standards
Applicants should be aware that virtually all financial assistance awarded by the College is limited to:
- Students who have been accepted into a program that will lead to a degree.
- Students who are U.S. citizens or eligible noncitizens.
- Students who are enrolled at the College carrying at least one-half the normal full-time academic load (limited Federal Pell Grants are available to some students studying less than half-time).
- Students who are maintaining satisfactory academic progress (see below).
For financial aid purposes, student status is normally verified at the end of the Add period (first two weeks of a semester). Hence, those who are officially classified as non-matriculated students, visiting students, or special students should anticipate that their awards would be canceled. Students whose status at the end of the Add period is less than full time should expect that the amount of their award(s) might be reduced proportionately and/or canceled.
Application Procedure for 2016-2017
To apply for any need-based financial aid, you must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or FAFSA on the Web at www.fafsa.gov. We strongly encourage students to apply on-line, but students wishing to use the paper FAFSA may request up to three copies by calling the Federal Student Aid Information Center at 1-800-433-3243. In addition, you must complete the Rhode Island College Financial Aid Application if you wish to be considered for need-based Rhode Island College grants and scholarships.
This form is available from the Office of Student Financial Aid. It may also be obtained online (click here for Forms page).
Applications should be submitted as soon after January 1 as possible. To have your FAFSA information sent to Rhode Island College, enter our Federal School Code, 003407, in Step 6 of the FAFSA. It is not necessary to list the college name, address or state, but be sure to enter a housing code to indicate where you plan to live while attending the College. While it is preferable to use income figures from a completed 2015 income tax return, you may use estimated income figures if necessary to ensure on-time application. Priority for funds administered by Rhode Island College is given to students who complete the financial aid process in accordance with the following deadlines:
Incoming Freshmen (Fall Semester)
- Application for admission on file with the Office of Undergraduate Admissions by March 15.
- FAFSA on file at the federal processing center by March 1.
- The Rhode Island College Financial Aid Application on file at the Office of Student Financial Aid by March 1.
Readmitted and New Transfer Students (Fall Semester)
- Application for admission on file with the Office of Undergraduate Admissions by June 1.
- FAFSA on file at the federal processing center by May 15.
- For Transfer Students only –the Rhode Island College Financial Aid Application on file at the Office of Student Financial Aid by May 15.
Incoming Freshman, New Transfers, and Re-admitted Students (Spring Semester)
- FAFSA on file at the federal processing center by November 15.
- For Freshmen and Transfer Students only – the Rhode Island College Financial Aid Application must be received at the Office of Student Financial Aid by November 15.
Note: Awards for students entering in the spring semester are contingent on available funding. The college does not hold funds aside for students entering in the spring.
Applicants should fill out all forms completely and accurately in order to avoid delays in processing and possible loss of financial aid. Adherence to deadlines is strongly advised. Late applicants are only considered for funds that may be available after on-time applicants are awarded.
After the FAFSA is submitted, the federal processor sends the student a Student Aid Report (SAR). Be sure Rhode Island College is listed on the SAR, otherwise we will not be able to receive your information from the federal processor. If Rhode Island College is not listed or a SAR is not received within four to six weeks, contact the Federal Student Aid Information Center at 1-800-433-3243.
Financial aid awards are not automatically renewable unless specified otherwise in your award letter. Almost all student aid at the College must be reapplied for every year.
Note: Rhode Island College reserves the right to require verification of income data submitted by any and all applicants for financial assistance. Awards for those who are asked for such verification will be made conditional upon receipt of the requested information/documentation. Forms of documentation or verification that may be requested include, but are not limited to, transcripts of federal income tax returns and copies of authorization letters for untaxed income. Any discrepancy in reported figures may result in adjustment or cancellation of the financial aid award and may be reported to the federal government for further review and possible legal action.
All awards made by or through the College are conditional and are based upon information available to College officials at the time the award is made. All awards are, therefore, subject to change and/or cancellation, should the College become aware of facts, conditions, and/or circumstances that differ from those upon which the award(s) was (were) based. Similarly, all awards are contingent upon the receipt by the College of sufficient funding from state, federal, or other funding sources and/or donors to cover award offers.
Financial Aid for Summer Sessions
In addition to the process outlined above, students who wish to apply for financial assistance for summer sessions must submit a Rhode Island College Application for Financial Aid-Summer Sessions. These forms are available from the Office of Student Financial Aid on or about February 1 each year. A form may also be obtained online (see Forms on Main Page). Summer Session aid is contingent upon the availability of funds and normally consists of Direct Loans, Pell Grants and Federal Work-Study. Preference is given to applicants who file summer applications prior to April 1.
Standards for Measuring Satisfactory Academic Progress of Undergraduate Financial Aid Recipients
Standards of satisfactory academic progress for student aid recipients measure both the quantity and quality of course work completed. All credit hours attempted, with the exception of credit hours dropped during the first two weeks of the semester (or corresponding time for Summer session courses), are counted to determine placement in the schedule below. In addition, federal regulations require that student aid eligibility be terminated once a student has attempted 150% of the credit hours needed to complete an undergraduate degree program. Satisfactory academic progress is measured once each academic year at the end of the Spring semester.
|0 to 12
|13 to 29
|30 to 59
|60 to 89
|90 to 119
|120 to 149
|150 to 180
TRANSFER CREDITS: Credits transferred into Rhode Island College are included as credits attempted to determine placement in the above schedule.
TREATMENT OF "W", "I", AND "F" GRADES: Credits for all courses with these grades will be added to credits attempted to determine placement in the above schedule.
REPEATED COURSES: Credits for all repeated courses will be included in the total of credits attempted.
TOTAL LIMIT ON ATTEMPTED CREDITS: Rhode Island College does not provide student financial aid to undergraduate students attempting more than 180 credits.
APPEALS AND REINSTATEMENT OF ELIGIBILITY: If a determination is made that a financial aid applicant is not making satisfactory academic progress, the applicant will be considered ineligible for all student financial aid programs for the next academic period. If a student believes that there are extenuating circumstances that contributed to the failure to maintain satisfactory academic progress, the determination of student aid ineligibility may be appealed to the Director of Student Financial Aid. Student appeals should be submitted in writing. Student appeals not resolved by the Director of Student Financial Aid may be further appealed to the Assistant Vice President for Academic Affairs.
The above Standards of Satisfactory Academic Progress are not designed to replace the standards that the College uses for Academic Dismissal/Probation. It is possible for a student to lose financial aid eligibility without losing status as a degree candidate. However, once a student loses status as a degree candidate, he or she will also lose eligibility for financial aid.
Student aid eligibility may be reinstated during the academic year once a student successfully completes the required number of credits with the required cumulative grade point average.

The purpose of screening is early diagnosis and treatment. Screening tests are usually administered to people without current symptoms, but who may be at high risk for certain diseases or conditions.
A back exam should be part of a thorough well-child check-up.
Screening Tests
Tests include:
Adam's forward bend test
—With feet and knees together, you will be asked to bend forward with your arms dangling. The screening person will stand first behind you and then in front of you to check for any visible curvature, or any uneven appearance in your rib cage, hipbones, or shoulder blades.
—This device is used to measure the actual degree of curvature of your spine. You will be asked to stand with feet and knees together, and bend forward until the examiner can see curvature in your upper spine. The scoliometer is then placed on your back, and a measurement is taken. Another measurement is taken when you have leaned over further, and the area of curvature is visible in your lower spine.
Screening Guidelines
Professional organizations differ regarding whether children should receive screening for scoliosis. Many states, however, mandate screening in schools. Scoliosis screening is done using the methods listed above. Each state has different regulations on what age screening takes place. Adolescents are at highest risk to develop idiopathic scoliosis during their rapid growth phase. As a result, screening may be done anytime from middle school through high school.
If scoliosis is identified, then the family will receive educational materials about scoliosis, and the child will be referred to their primary care physican for further evaluation.
