Arkansas Attorney General Dustin McDaniel has approved the wording of a ballot measure that would legalize same-sex marriage in the state.
McDaniel's office on Thursday certified the proposal by the Arkansas Initiative for Marriage Equality, clearing the way for the group to begin gathering signatures to place the measure on the ballot. The group wants to put the proposal before voters in 2016.
The measure is the second gay marriage related measure certified by McDaniel's office, which approved the wording of a proposal in September that would repeal the state Constitution's ban on same-sex marriage. That proposal, however, stops short of specifically legalizing gay marriage.
The proposal approved Thursday also repeals the ban and would prohibit clerks from refusing to issue marriage licenses based on the couple's sex.

ALLEN PARK -- Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler's status for Sunday's game against the Detroit Lions remains up in the air.
Speaking on his weekly radio show, Cutler said, "I was aiming for the Green Bay game, and that didn't happen. So I don't think we can say I'll be out there for the Detroit game."
Cutler suffered a partial groin against the Washington Redskins on Oct. 20. The initial prognosis was that he would miss at least four weeks.
There's no benefit for the Bears to announce Cutler's status until Sunday. The Lions are heading into the week with the intention of game-planning for both Cutler and backup Josh McCown.
"I think both guys have similar skill sets," Lions coach Jim Schwartz said. "They run the same plays on offense. You're not talking about a completely different change in styles or anything else."
McCown has been steady filling in for Cutler. He has a quarterback rating over 100, throwing for 476 yards, three touchdowns and zero interceptions over parts of two games while leading the Bears to a win in Green Bay on Monday night.
An 11-year veteran, McCown spent the 2006 season with the Lions. Detroit center Dominic Raiola, one of just two players still with the team, wasn't the least bit surprised with how well McCown has been playing.
"Maybe a lot of people were surprised, but I wasn't," Raiola said. "I remember how good of an athlete he was, how smart he was. The guy could throw the ball, he could run around, scramble, make plays, create plays, extend plays. That's the kind of guy he was and he's still the same guy."

Is Arbitrage Socially Beneficial?
E. Glen Weyl
Microsoft Research New York City; Yale University
October 15, 2007
Economists often associate information efficiency of prices with allocative (Pareto) efficiency. When arbitrageurs connect segmented markets to correct a misallocation of risk, this assumption is sound. However, when opportunities for arbitrage or financial innovation arise from mispricings caused by the presence of confused investors or other distortions, such market-making is harmful. Rather than arbitrage facilitating the flow of risk to those who can most efficiently bear it, this harmful arbitrage allocates risk to those who least understand it. The beneficial effects of efficient pricing on real investment decision mitigate the harms caused by arbitrage, but also limits its benefits by providing substitute insurance. Even when arbitrage is not strictly harmful, it may be oversupplied, especially given that it typically employ some of the most talented workers.

Gurgel, Sokoudjou among recent UFC cuts
Jorge Gurgel and Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou are among the recent cuts from the UFC roster. Both were involved in losses in their last fight within the octagon.
Gurgel never fails to give a wild performance, such as the one against Aaron Riley that garnered him Fight of the Night honors at UFC 91. But more often than not, he has come out on the losing end, having lost three of his last 4 fights. He has been widely criticized for not utilizing his BJJ Black Belt skills more and instead choosing to stand and trade with his opponents. Gurgel will not be out of work long as he has already signed an exclusive contract with the Strikeforce promotion. In the end, it would not surprise me if Zuffa didn't help get him signed right away. His time in the UFC was clearly up and yet he was a real favorite of Dana White's. A demotion to WEC would be seen as just that while also inadvertantly degrading the WEC's lightweight class.

The Ultimate Fighting Championship today formally announced three additional bouts that will take place at UFC 89: Bisping vs. Leben on October 18th at the National Indoor Arena in Birmingham, England. The most noteworthy bout is a light heavyweight matchup between Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou and Luis Cane.
Both Sokoudjou and Cane are coming off of impressive performances. Sokoudjou stopped fellow PRIDE veteran Kazuhiro Nakamura in the first-round of their fight at UFC 84: Ill Will due to a leg injury while Cane destroyed Jason Lambert in just two minutes at UFC 85: Bedlam last month.
Additional bouts also made officially today included Dan Hardy's UFC debut against the always entertaining Akihiro Gono and heavyweight prospect Shane Carwin looking for his second straight UFC knockout win against fellow heavy-hitter Neil Wain.
UFC 89 will be headlined by a middleweight clash between England native Michael Bisping and hard-hitting popular veteran Chris Leben. The two were originally set to throw down in June but a mandatory jail sentence stemming from a probation violation forced Leben to withdraw from the anticipated matchup.

Thiago Silva weighs-in for UFC 78: Validation. Photo property of the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
The Ultimate Fighting Championship has announced three additional bouts for the the organization's return to Las Vegas on May 24th for UFC 84: Ill Will.
The promotion confirmed the already-rumored fights on their official website.
UFC 84 will be headlined by a bad blood-filled UFC lightweight title bout that pits current champion B.J. Penn up against former champion Sean Sherk. Former light heavyweight champion Tito Ortiz will also go up against an undefeated Lyoto Machida in a fight that will likely be Ortiz's last with the UFC.
Former PRIDE standouts Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou and Kazuhiro Nakamura will return to action against each other at the event.
After busting onto the scene with two huge upsets over Antonio Rogerio Nogueira and Ricardo Arona in consecutive fights, Sokoudjou was defeated in his UFC debut, submitting to Ryoto Machida at UFC 79: Nemesis in December. Similar to his opponent, Nakamura also lost his debut to Machida as well. Nakamura is coming off of a suspension courtesy of the California State Athletic Commission after testing positive for marijuana.
After being originally scheduled to face Rashad Evans, who was tapped to fill in as an injury replacement against Chuck Liddell at UFC 85 in June, Thiago Silva will now take on Europe Top Team product Antonio Mendes.
Silva has won his first three fights inside the Octagon and remains undefeated in his professional career. Mendes, who will be making his debut inside the UFC, is currently riding an eleven-fight winning streak that stretches all the way back to October 2004.
Light heavyweight contender Wilson Gouveia will attempt to continue his winning ways when he takes on international prospect Goran Reljic.
Gouveia is currently riding a four-fight UFC winning streak. The American Top Team product recently pulled off a huge knockout win over veteran Jason Lambert. Reljic has not lost yet in his professional career. He last earned a unanimous decision over Waldemar Golinski at a Boxing Explosion event this past August.

Former PRIDE light heavyweight standouts Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou and Kazuhiro Nakamura return to action against each other when the Ultimate Fighting Championship returns to Las Vegas for UFC 84: Ill Will on May 24th.
The news comes from our friends at MMA Junkie, who confirmed the fight with Sokoudjou himself this past weekend.
The event will be headlined by a bad blood-filled UFC lightweight title bout that pits current champion B.J. Penn up against former champion Sean Sherk.
After busting onto the scene with two huge upsets over Antonio Rogerio Nogueira and Ricardo Arona in consecutive fights, Sokoudjou was defeated in his UFC debut, submitting to Ryoto Machida at UFC 79: Nemesis in December.
Similar to his opponent, Nakamura also lost his debut to Machida as well. Nakamura is coming off of a suspension courtesy of the California State Athletic Commission after testing positive for marijuana following post-fight testing for UFC 76: Knockout.
The Nevada State Athletic Commission has released the official list of medical suspensions stemming from this past weekend's UFC 79: Nemesis, which took place at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas.
The notable potential injury not mentioned on the list involved Nate Mohr, who had to be helped out of the cage after being submitted with an ankle lock by Manny Gamburyan. Various reports have made statements ranging from Mohr's trainers hearing "a pop" to Mohr having a broken leg. Mohr has been medically suspended anyway until January 20th with no contact allowed until January 13th for precautionary reasons.
Chuck Liddell, Matt Hughes and Tony DeSouza have all been medically suspended until January 29th with no contact permitted until January 20th. Both Hughes and DeSouza have been suspended for precautionary reasons while Liddell has a laceration above his left eye.
James Irvin, who was knocked out by an illegal knee from Luis Cane, has been shelved until February 28th with no contact until January 13th because of precautionary reasons.
Both Wanderlei Silva and Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou have been medically suspended until February 13th with no contact permitted until January 29th because of laceration around their right eyes.
Soa Palelei and Doug Evans received the worst medical suspensions. Palelei has been suspended until June 27th unless a broken nose and broken left orbital bone suffered in his fight with Eddie Sanchez are cleared by an ophthalmologist. Evans has been suspended for the same length of time unless a broken left thumb is cleared by a doctor. If it is, he will still be suspended until February 13th with no contact until January 29th because of an additional cut above his left eye.

Georges St. Pierre came closer to cementing his status as the top welterweight in the world when he gave future UFC hall-of-famer Matt Hughes a drubbing over the course of two rounds before submitting his idol with an armbar during the main event of last night's UFC 79: Nemesis.
Hughes was originally slated to face fellow Ultimate Fighter 6 coach and current welterweight champ Matt Serra but Serra was forced to pull out of the bout after suffering herniated discs in his lower back during training. Hughes was then given a selective list of opponents that agreed to step in and the former nine-time champion picked St. Pierre in an attempt to try and avenge a prior loss to "Rush" at UFC 65 last year.
However it was obvious from the start of the fight that it was only a matter of time before St. Pierre was going to come away with a win. The Canadian took Hughes down at will throughout the first round, mounting his opponent and connecting with a number of unanswered punches while his opponent held on for dear life.
Hughes found his way back to his feet a couple of times but St. Pierre quickly put an end to that with wrestling skills that have made him consider possibly trying out for the Canadian Olympic wrestling squad next year.
The second round started off much like the first and after mounting and taking his opponent's back, St. Pierre locked in an armbar that caused Hughes' face to grimace in pain. The Hillsboro, Illinois native then verbally submitted to referee Steve Mazzagatti, ending the fight.
Many fans showed concern when St. Pierre took the fight on short notice as he would only have a little over a month to prepare for the bout. Training wasn't an excuse for Hughes during a post-fight interview with UFC color commentator Joe Rogan.
"I came in 120 percent," Hughes said. "I really trained hard for this fight. I brought in some of the best people and we really had a good game plan. Georges is just a better fighter."
Hughes also acknowledged that he "had some thinking to do" in terms of continuing his career.
With the win, St. Pierre becomes the interim UFC welterweight champion. He will now wait for Serra to fully recover from his injury and the two will unify the belts at some point next year.
Even though he deserved the win with a show of complete domination, St. Pierre refused to consider himself the welterweight champion, as that distinction is held by the last man to defeat St. Pierre inside the Octagon.
"That's why I'm going to take off this belt," St. Pierre said after the fight. "Thanks to the UFC for giving me that; it's a good honor, but the real champion is Matt Serra. Until I get my belt back, I'm not going to consider myself champion. Matt Serra that night beat me fair and square. He was the better man and I made many mistakes and had a lot of issues that night. Next time when I fight him, it might be a different story and people will understand what I'm talking about."

Things heated up really fast during the stare-down between Chuck Liddell and Wanderlei Silva. Silva empathically ripped off his shirt before approaching Liddell. After an intense stare-down between the two, Silva faked a move towards Liddell and Liddell responded by flipping his opponent the bird. Silva started to walk towards Liddell and officials and trainers all jumped in but order was quickly restored.

I don't think the OP was for real, but the thread reminded me of an "Overheard in London" moment I had on the underground the other day. A teenagey girl - huge - got on the train with her normal sized mum, drinking a SB frappacino. She must have just bought it cos her mum was staring at it and asked her how many calories it had. The girl defensively snapped back that she didn't care.
Sorry, no punch line to the story - it just made me feel sad. She clearly did care. How horrible must it be to be overweight and have other people judging you for wanting to have a frappacino?

We enjoyed the article by Blake et al1 "Adolescent and Young Adult Women's Misunderstanding of the Term Pap Smear," which appeared in the October 2004 issue of the ARCHIVES. It is always a pleasure to have clinical intuition validated by scientific fact. Indeed, the misunderstanding the authors document is so profound in our adolescent medicine practice that we developed a patient information sheet (available on request) to address the problem. We were, however, disturbed by the statement that 14- to 17-year-old patients whose parents did not accompany them to the clinic were excluded from this survey study in order to obtain institutional review board approval. Numerous publications addressing the definition of minor subjects and their right to consent to participation in low-risk survey research of this type2- 5 suggest that in so doing the authors needlessly biased the results of their otherwise informative and clinically useful study. In the hopes of dispelling the misunderstandings implicit in this exclusion criterion and enhancing the validity of future research bearing on critically important aspects of adolescent health and behavior, we would also like to draw the attention of the readership to several publications that may be useful in addressing constraints imposed by institutional review boards.2- 5 We find our pediatric colleagues are often unaware of these consensus statements.

Exercise and the Woman's Heart
Quite simply, exercise can be a lifesaver for women with heart disease. Your heart is a muscle. Like any muscle, it becomes stronger with exercise and pumps blood through the arteries to the body more efficiently. At the same time, exercise also improves the performance of the muscles in the rest of your body. Research shows that the specific benefits of regular exercise include:
For women with cardiovascular disease it is necessary to achieve reasonable exercise goals, appropriate pre-participation screening, and explicit advice about your exercise program. Supervised cardiac rehabilitation is considered standard care in the treatment of people with heart disease. Unfortunately, it is estimated that as few as 15 percent of eligible women are referred to these programs.
Exercise Guidelines
When beginning an exercise program:
How Much Exercise is Enough
Monitoring Intensity
Proper exercise intensity is one that will result in favorable fitness changes and other cardiovascular benefits. Three tools are available to help you know if the exercise intensity or effort is right for you.
Heart Rate (or pulse)
While exercising, be aware of the increase that occurs in your heart and breathing rates. If you are part of a cardiac rehabilitation program, a target heart rate will likely be prescribed for you. Learn to monitor your pulse rate accurately using the following method: Hold your hand with the palm facing up and place the first two fingers of your other hand on the thumb side of your wrist. Alternatively, you can raise your chin slightly and gently place your first two fingers over a blood vessel in your neck. Press gently and count the number of beats you feel for a period of 10 seconds. Multiply the number of beats by six to find your heart rate in beats per minute (e.g., 20 beats in 10 seconds = 120 beats per minute).
Rating of Perceived Exertion
Work out at a level that is between "fairly light" to "somewhat hard." You may be sweating and breathing hard but not gasping for breath.
Talk Test
During exercise, you should be able to carry on a conversation. If you cannot do this, you are probably pushing too hard and should slow your exercise pace.
Warming Up and Cooling Down
Warm Up
The purpose of the warm-up phase is to prepare the body for exercise and for you to exercise safely. A proper warm up should result in a gradual rise in body temperature, raise your heart rate within 20 beats per minute of your prescribed target heart rate, and improve blood flow to the muscles. Perform at least 5 to 10 minutes of light aerobic exercise, such as slow walking. Be aware of your posture. Let your arms swing freely at your sides, taking easy strides, and breathe normally.
Cool Down
This is the period immediately following the conditioning or "dynamic" exercise. The primary purpose of the cool down is to return your heart rate gradually to its pre-exercise level. Spend 5 to 10 minutes performing low-level activity, such as slow walking. You may want to end the cool-down period with stretching activities.
Exercise Warning Signs
Listen to your body! You should stop or avoid exercising if:
If you develop discomfort, heaviness, or tightness in your chest or arms, call your doctor right away. If you develop a cold sweat, extreme breathlessness, palpitations or faintness, call your doctor right away.

We are on the Titanic and about to hit the iceberg. Captain Obama has gutted the coal industry, NASA and our health care system. Our military superiority and our national defense are in serious jeopardy. We are wallowed in debt and headed for financial ruin. Much of this speaks to the intelligence of our leaders.
Obama has let political operatives like Valerie Jarett lead him around by the nose and approve deals such as Solyndra that have cost us billions of dollars with no results.
The press played a big part in having us believe that Barack Obama is a quick study. We were duped. I have it on pretty good authority that his grades at Occidental College and Columbia University were abysmal.
Liberals were determined that we have an Afro-American president and gave a false and deceitful account of his credentials. Now we are at an actual unemployment rate of over 15 percent and headed for disaster. Never again should this country be crucified on the cross of political correctness. Barack Obama is, as Gore Vidal once remarked of an inept writer, "A blinkered hedgehog in wild fox country."

Whats wrong with Argentina?Originally Posted by Nana
I am 26 years old and my job is a private teacher. I taught at a catholic school 3 years ago and had enough of the management. I now teach a group of 7-14 years old students. I start my class at 9 o'clock and finish at 11 o'clock every weekend. Early this year I acknowledged my students that food from 7-11 is not the best for them. I tried comparing to them of what they will get if they buy a real chicken from a market to a chicken sausage from 7-11. I also try to inform them of how a big company will take away local people's careers and their parents will earn less. They listened to me and understood this concept well.
One day, one of my intelligent students told me that he had informed his parents about it and they are very happy. One older student said to me that she cannot promise that she will not go to 7-11 because her parents will rather choose 7-11 than local shops. This makes me feel very sad because somehow the vast majority of Thailand do not think for themself. Thailand might end up like Argentina one day if we continue to be so blind. I just thought that if I have a bit of knowledge and I may be able to give some good attitude to younger generation, things may change for the better for this country. I sometimes wonder though if we still have any hope at all?

let it go mate. let it go. all you can do is educate and move on to the next person to educate. progress is slow. and progress never comes from a kid saying to you, "i will convince my family to do just as you told me!"
change is a slow churn. don burn out from your inability to change children overnight.

Yes that's the fact, plantation is our main career here. Most people here own either rubber of palm plantation. We earn well here but mostly just spend it in 7-11 or Tesco instead of local shops. People who used to own shops here now are out of business because they cannot beat this big companies.
Thanks AO for the info, I will look into that.

I am not a backpacker, I am Thai and that's why I am worried. This is my bloody country. I can leave but what is here is mine and always will be.

My (future) Thai family has/does both - (small) rubber & palm plantations and a local shop (stock out on their front porch) and as far as I could tell on my last visit folks there don't buy junk food from a local Seven, they'd rather pluck a fish from the pond in the back or cross the street and have the neighbor hack a chicken's head off..and for this I'm glad. I don't think I saw a Seven in Bang Saphan Noi at all, but I wouldn't necessarily be surprised if there was one I missed along the main road, or will be soon. The slow and whole life, the one they still live down in those parts, may not be around too much longer. I'm happy to hear about what you're teaching your students Nana.Originally Posted by Nana

Innovation Engineering Course Offered for Spring
Scholarships available to cover course tuition
Instructor Chad Everett
MACHIAS, Maine – As part of a statewide initiative to build innovation and entrepreneurship in Maine, the University of Maine at Machias is offering a course on Innovation Engineering during the spring 2013 semester. Registration for the course is now open to both current students and community members.
The course, which is team-taught by UMM instructors Chad Everett and Jim Lenke, will focus on creativity as the foundation for generating innovative ideas in any field and how to apply those ideas to the real world.
Innovation Engineering is a concept that is applicable to all majors and industries, from business to biology and English to education.
The course will give students the theories behind and practice using tools to generate meaningfully unique ideas. These tools engage creative stimulus, diversity, and mining for technology and economic, social, and cultural trends. Students will examine case histories that demonstrate how social and cultural contexts and human institutions have been influenced by innovative individuals who have realized original ideas in practice.
An investment from the Blackstone Charitable Foundation has provided 400 scholarships over a three-year period for students in Maine to take Innovation Engineering courses. The scholarship will pay for the full cost of tuition for one Innovation Engineering course at any of the University of Maine System campuses offering the program.
The Create: Innovation Engineering (INV 180) course at UMM will run Tuesday evenings from 5:30 to 8:20 p.m. beginning January 23, 2013.
Students must apply by December 12 to be eligible for the course tuition scholarship.
Information sessions are being held Monday, November 19 at 5:30 and 6 p.m. in room 102 of the Science Building. There will be a short presentation explaining what Innovation Engineering is and how it can benefit your education or career. The instructors will be available to discuss the spring 2013 class, Create: Innovation Engineering, and provide information on the tuition scholarships available for the program.
For more information, contact Chad Everett at 255-1360 or email@example.com.

In Reply.–The prime objective of this brief clinical note was to reaffirm the principle that, once surgical intervention is decided on, total abdominal colectomy with ileoproctostomy is the only procedure that precludes rebleeding; a secondary objective was to discourage time-consuming angiography, since identifying and resecting a portion of the colon containing the bleeding site will not prevent later rebleeding from another site.
Identification of the active bleeding site, therefore, is not entirely pertinent to our disagreement, which centers around the success in controlling diverticular bleeding with intraarterial vasopressin infusion. My own experience at Detroit General Hospital has been less than satisfactory with this technique. Reasons for failure have included inability to cannulate either the superior mesenteric artery or the inferior mesenteric artery in patients with diffuse, occlusive disease, lack of response to a standard vasopressin infusion, and rebleeding after initial success either during or following a vasopressin infusion.

Sean "Diddy" Combs and girlfriend Kim Porter welcomed twin daughters on Thursday, PEOPLE has confirmed.
"Diddy received an early Christmas gift! It gives us great joy to announce the arrival of Diddy's twin girls. The beautiful, healthy baby girls were born this morning with Diddy by mother Kim Porter's side," Sean Combs's rep, Robert Zimmerman, of Dan Klores Communications tells PEOPLE.
"The first arrived at 7:56 a.m. weighing 5 lbs., followed 2 minutes later by the second at 5 lbs., 4 oz. Diddy had a plane on standby in Toronto where he is filming Raisin in the Sun and made it just in the nick of time for the delivery. Both Kim and the girls are doing great."
In honor of two people who had an enormous influence on both Porter and Diddy, 5 lb., D'Lila Star Combs was named after Porter's grandmother, Lila Star, Zimmerman said Thursday afternoon. Her 5 lb. 4 oz. sister, Jessie James Combs, was named after Diddy's grandmother, Jessie Smalls.
On his MySpace page Diddy also posted a message announcing the birth of his girls, adding: "Thank you for all your support this year! I Love Y'all! God Bless."
Diddy, 37, and Porter, 36, are already parents to son Christian, 8. (Diddy also has a son, Justin, 12, with ex-girlfriend Misa Hylton-Brim.)
The hip-hop mogul joked about having daughters at his and Porter's star-studded baby shower in New York City last month, "I'm so excited to have girls, but I know I'm in trouble now!"
And even before the girls were born, they brought out Diddy's softer side, Porter said. "I see the way he's been acting," she told PEOPLE at the shower. "He said, 'I can't wait for them to fall asleep on my chest.' He's going to be very hands on. I don't think he's going to be able to say no to them."

It was only a matter of time.
S'mores & Scouts
In the arcane world of food holidays, Aug. 10 has become known as National S'mores Day.
Who knows the first person who sandwiched marshmallow and chocolate between two graham crackers. But s'mores certainly seem like a spur-of-the-moment creation around a campfire.
At any rate, they have reached the ripe old age of (at least) 86: The first recipe in print dates to 1927, appearing in the handbook "Tramping and Trailing with the Girl Scouts." But there's evidence they were around years before the recipe was formalized.
Over the past decade, doughnuts got a re-do, cupcakes made a comeback and pies gained newfound popularity.
Now s'mores seem to have risen as the new shabby chic of retro sweets.
S'mores lovers won't find many campfires burning in the heat of a Lowcountry summer. But they can find a s'mores scene in Charleston: sophisticated versions of their favorite treat on specialty store shelves and dessert menus.
All are at the ready to help them celebrate National S'mores Day on Saturday.
For Danielle and Tanner Loveless, a penchant for throwing "s'more-gasbord" parties and six weeks on the road in an RV led to a career about-face for her and a new venture dedicated to the business of s'mores.
Last fall, the Mount Pleasant couple launched Haypenny Confections. Two days a week, she and a couple of part-time workers have use of a catering kitchen off Spruill Avenue in North Charleston.
In the artisanal spirit, they are putting their own spin on graham crackers (honey cinnamon) and making marshmallows in 45 flavors, including maple bacon and champagne and strawberries.
For now, Haypenny does not make its own chocolate, but it's in the plan as the business eventually grows into a larger kitchen.
Haypenny is selling its s'mores for wedding receptions, catered affairs and at some public events. Three flavors — vanilla, bourbon praline and toasted coconut — also are packaged in "kit" form and offered in specialty stores such as The Coastal Cupboard and Mixson Market. (See other retail locations at www.haypennyconfections.com.)
Danielle, 31, was a music teacher for 10 years and has taught locally at both Laing and Knightsville public schools. After three years in the Lowcountry, she left to pursue a master's degree in music education at the University of Utah. There she met her future husband, Tanner, while both were working at a summer day camp teaching outdoor adventure.
"I was a lifelong music teacher in my mind," she says. But a bit of serendipity led to a turn of events.
They were planning to move back east and, in the summer of 2011, sold everything they had and bought an old RV. Just before hitting the road for six weeks, they threw their last "s'more-gasbord" for friends. People at the gathering urged them to do something bigger with their s'mores.
The two, with a lot of time to think, traveled to Connecticut, where Danielle's parents live. While there, she got accepted to graduate school at the University of North Carolina-Greensboro. That was the next game plan. He already had a degree in finance.
Meanwhile, they started playing around in the kitchen, making graham crackers and learning the nuances of marshmallows. "We failed miserably the first time. I broke a hand mixer," she says with a laugh.
"It's more scientific than you think. There really is a lot of precision involved."
And then something magical happened.
"It was sort of at that turning point. Neither one of us were really feeling Greensboro, and decided let's just give it (s'mores) a shot. So we did."
They had a "destination" wedding in Charleston in May 2012, then moved here in August.
Tanner, 27, found a job at Blackbaud, and Haypenny was incorporated in November.
Danielle's introduction to s'mores is classic: "In the summers, we'd always go up to New Hampshire," she says. "One of my best memories is making s'mores at my aunt's lake house."
"It's also a memory that involves lots of people," she says, which adds to the nostalgic appeal of s'mores.
Haypenny is named for a ha'penny, a Victorian coin worth half a cent. The idea is that "if we failed, we wouldn't have a ha'penny left to our names," they joke.
Besides events and catering, Haypenny is turning out about 100 s'mores kits a week (four s'mores per kit, $10).
The food maker has its eye on the future, however, with plans for an online store and a Kickstarter campaign.
"We have other ideas down the road," Danielle says. "The heart of it is revitalizing classic desserts."
She adds, "This is not an unhappy business to be in. Everybody loves s'mores."
The Warehouse
Elliotborough is an up-and-coming address in downtown Charleston. Further proof came last month with the arrival of the Warehouse bar at Spring and St. Philip streets. On chef Eva Keilty's menu are only two desserts, and one of them is a S'mores Torte.
It will set you back $6.50 for this over-the-top s'more that includes a flourless chocolate torte and homemade "nutella": ground hazelnuts flavored with fruity Disaronno amaretto.
There's toasty, molten marshmallows and graham crackers in the mix and to gild the lily, clusters of pecan crunch.
Voodoo Lounge
The kitchen staff at Voodoo west of the Ashley likes to play with food, and they want you to play with food, too. So they put s'mores on the menu.
"It is food you can have fun with," says chef Toker Smith.
He's not kidding, since the dessert has its own tabletop "campfire."
In the middle of a large plate is a Sterno-fueled mini-grill that you use for roasting the marshmallows.
There's the requisite Hershey's chocolate and graham crackers, but for a $2.50 upgrade, you can get bacon and peanut butter, too ($5 regular, $7.50 deluxe).
Reach Features Editor Teresa Taylor at email@example.com or 937-4886.
The Voodoo Lounge offers a tabletop s'mores experience that comes with bacon and peanut butter if desired.×
Bourbon praline marshmallows are one of 45 s'mores flavors offered by local company Haypenny Confections. The marshmallows are made by hand as are the honey cinnamon graham crackers.×

text: "Sisyphus" is the self-titled debut from the group formerly known as S/S/S, a collaboration between singer-songwriter Sufjan Stevens, producer Son Lux, and rapper Serengeti. The album was commissioned by the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis to accompany the opening of a new exhibition by visual artist Jim Hodges. Although they worked independently, Sisyphus took a trip to Hodges' studio and referred to his work throughout the recording process, and it's a Hodges piece displayed on the front of the record. The band chose the cover because it screams disco and party, feelings they wanted to cultivate throughout the record.

Summary of Damage in Warren County
The NWS in Jackson conducted a survey across western Hinds and Warren Counties. The team found extensive straight line wind damage across a large portion of western and west-central Hinds County, as well as much of central Warren County. Four short tornado paths were also found on the north side of the wind damage swaths.
Eagle Lake Tornado:
Summary: An area of straight line wind damage occurred just before the tornado, about 5 WNW of Eagle Bend, where Hwy 465 and the levee meet. Here a mobile home was rolled over and a few trees snapped. Winds were estimated at 85 mph. Shortly after this, tornadic damage began along Hwy 465. The tornado was rather wide, 300 yds, and tracked east-southeast for 4 miles through the heart of the Eagle Lake Community. Hundreds of trees were snapped or uprooted with 30-40 homes, mostly mobile homes, damaged by downed trees. Several power lines were also taken down by trees. Several structures, about 10-15 homes, sustained shingle/roof damage or had carports/awnings torn off. Most of the trees were blown to the southeast and roof damage was on the west-northwest side of homes. However, several locations along the path had trees blown down to the north-northwest with some shingle damage on the east facing side.
Summary: This brief tornado touched down along Warriors Trail Road between Vicksburg and Bovina, just south of I-20 and Hwy 80, and tracked east for 2 miles. Numerous trees were snapped and uprooted. Several power lines were taken down by trees. A couple structures were damaged by downed trees.
Other Damage from Straight Line Winds:
Significant straight line wind damage occurred across a large portion of central Warren County. Several areas in Downtown Vicksburg had trees and power lines blown down with a handful of structures sustaining minor to moderate roof damage. Major roof damage occurred to the Enterprise Rent-a-Car building where a large portion was torn off. Areas along and south of I-20 were especially hard hit. Areas across Hwy 61 to Halls Ferry to Porters Chapel to Lee Roads had hundreds of trees uprooted or snapped. Numerous power lines were taken down with nearly 30 homes damaged by fallen trees. The wind damage was extensive across central Warren County with several trained spotters estimating wind gusts between 80 and 100 mph.

The voters get it and they know it represents higher taxes and premiums. They have been shouting their disapproval for months, which has been arrogantly ignored.
The second part of Davis' summary is very telling of what progressives represent. If you package it right, the voters won't notice.
Hence the back-room deals and 3,000-page bills.
Progressives think their internal agenda to destroy the middle class and create dependency will be hidden by their external message of "hope and change."
Well here is the answer to their message. No, no, no, no, no, no. Got it? Do they need more clarification? As a reminder, November 2010 is going to bring the real change.

Building a foundation
Cargill leaders lay first bricks for kitchen at orphanage in South Sumatra, Indonesia
At the end of March, Emery Koenig, executive vice president and chief risk officer, and David MacLennan, president and chief operating officer, laid the first bricks for the foundation of a new kitchen and dining facility at the At-Taqwa orphanage. The two executives participated in the event while visiting Cargill's Hindoli palm oil plantation.
Improving living conditions for children
Prior to receiving support from the Hindoli plantation, its employees and other community members, the At-Taqwa orphanage relied on public donations. Life for the children it served was much harsher. They slept on dirt floors while rain seeped through worn roofs. The too-few toilets at the orphanage were frequently broken. In short, the situation was desperate.
However, since Hindoli and Cargill's support began in 2006, the facilities are dramatically improved. New dormitories are constructed. Proper toilets with sanitary fixtures are installed. The recent groundbreaking for the kitchen and dining facility was simply the latest development. Hindoli employees also continue contributing personal funds to support regular operations at the orphanage.
Cargill in Indonesia
Our activities in Indonesia started in 1974 by establishing a small feed mill in Bogor, West Java. Over the years we enjoyed substantial growth, and today our expansive operations comprise the origination, processing, handling, shipping and marketing of a wide range of agricultural and food products and related services. Headquartered in Jakarta with offices, manufacturing plants and facilities throughout Indonesia, we employ over 10,000 people.

Last August, Melissa McCarthy was driving down Santa Monica Boulevard in L.A. with her parents in tow when the actress suddenly had to pull over. Down the road, she spotted a billboard for her new CBS comedy Mike & Molly, and immediately "I got choked up," says McCarthy. "It was one of those silly moments because in other sections of the world it was just a billboard. But it was a big deal to me. I've never been on a billboard before! It was overwhelming. We sat there in a weird gas station and I had a good little happy cry to myself."
It's been a long time coming for McCarthy, 40, who was once told by a manager that she'd never work in Hollywood if she didn't lose weight. "It really hurt my feelings," she recalls. "I understand that the odds are not as high as if I was skinny, but I still have talent. I thought, 'I'll show you!'" McCarthy is a woman of her word: After memorable roles as the flighty chef Sookie on Gilmore Girls and Christina Applegate's best friend on Samantha Who?, McCarthy is a breakout star. Each week Mike & Molly draws about 13 million viewers eager to watch the evolving relationship of a couple who met at Overeaters Anonymous. McCarthy admits she was hesitant to sign on to the project at first. "I'd never done anything that touches on weight. I just don't find it funny," she says. "But there is a sweetness between these characters. Weight wasn't the topic of the show. It was a slice of the pie."
Her recent success hasn't always been sweet. Last October a Marie Claire blog story sparked an uproar when writer Maura Kelly criticized the series, saying she would be "grossed out if I had to watch two characters with rolls and rolls of fat kissing each other." Says McCarthy: "It was so unkind. I thought, 'Shame on you.' At a different point in my life, it would've crushed me. But it didn't."
She credits her strength to her parents, Sandy and Michael, who encouraged McCarthy to fuel her funny side while growing up on a farm in Plainfield, Ill. "I'd perform for my poor mother in our laundry room. I'd make up songs that were never-ending," says McCarthy-a high school cheerleader who dreamt of appearing on Saturday Night Live. "As a teenager I went all Goth, but I wasn't mopey enough. I would pretend to be, but I'd end up making people laugh."
In 1996 her comedic touch led McCarthy to L.A., where she joined the comedy troupe the Groundlings and met her husband, actor and writer Ben Falcone, 37, whom she wed in 2005. But McCarthy-who admits, "I'm not afraid of a Guinness and a burger!"-knew her waistline might have harmed her chances of landing a regular gig in size-conscious Hollywood. "I would always cry to my sister Margie," says McCarthy. (Actress Jenny McCarthy is her cousin.) "She is built like a bird. I just don't lose weight easily."
Luckily she didn't have to. Her big break came in 2000 when she landed Gilmore Girls, where "weight never came up" she says. That didn't stop McCarthy from signing up for a doctor-supervised all-liquid diet of 500 calories a day, which led her to lose 70 lbs. in four months in 2003. "I'd never do that again," she says. "I felt starved and crazy half the time."
The pounds later crept back on when she was pregnant with her daughter Vivian, now 3. "It was the first time I ate something and didn't give it a second thought. If I wanted a piece of toast, I'd have one," she says. "It felt magical." After welcoming her second daughter, Georgette, now 1, she's battling the postbaby weight again. "With the second one it's not coming off as easily! I see my reflection and I'm like, 'What's that in my sweater? Oh my God, it's me!' " says McCarthy. But instead of targeting a certain size, "I want to be healthy. I don't have a goal weight. I'll know when I feel good."
To get there she works out with trainer Viveca Jensen doing Piloxing (a mix of pilates and boxing) and playing tennis. "I'm trying to do things that are fun," she says. She's also trying to be a good example for her girls. "I want to show them how to be healthy," says McCarthy. "My husband and I always make a pot of vegetable soup that we puree and keep in the fridge. They don't eat processed foods. But if my oldest daughter wants a cupcake, once in a while I'll let her have it."
The best lesson she's going to teach her daughters? Don't sweat the small stuff. "Part of being young is you think gaining 6 lbs. is the end of the world," says McCarthy, who next stars in the comedy Bridesmaids, in theaters this May. "Being older, I'm not as hard on myself. The important things in my life-my family, my kids, my job-are so wonderful. I feel really lucky."

"I was very impressed with the quality of this card. My son was so excited to have his picture and name on the card. He is really looking forward to giving these out on Valentine's Day."
"I ordered these cards for my son for Valentine's Day to hand out with some sweet treats. The quality is outstanding! The Card is just adorable!! I let him choose the picture and design, we had a blast putting it together. The size is small, so it can't be mailed, but otherwise, perfect for its purpose!"
"I LOVE THIS ONE!!!! When they came I didn't realize they were so small but they worked perfectly for what I wanted them for. it was LOVE LOVE LOVE at first sight."
"I purchased these for my 3-yr-old son to give at preschool. I changed the "from" text to red, and changed the font to one with a more handwritten look. These are printed on a nice heavy cardstock, and the colors are suitable for boys or girls to give. Very happy! Note that the size is tiny, I didn't pay attention to the dimensions."
"I've ordered these Valentine cards for my boys to give to their classmates. They are so adorable and my boys love them and can't wait to share them with their friends! The quality of the cards is very good and I highly recommend them! We also bought a Ninja Suckers to go with them!"

Today marks the first ever SCOUTS SHOUTS, where I'll blog about my favourite song of the week, my album of the week, film of the week…you get the idea. Be sure to check back every Thursday to see what's hot that week.
Album of the week
Fleet Foxes – Helplessness Blues
I've come to the recent conclusion that the Fleet Foxes are my favourite band at the moment. I just love their sound. Their harmonies are divine and the pictures I paint in my head when I hear their music are so vivid, wild, fantastical… Their new album is so organic. It manages to have a richness and complexity about it, whilst simulatenously maintaining a somewhat bare and simple feel to it. The songs are easy on the ears but are also deep and it's a beautiful progression from their first album, without being too much of a departure from the sound we fell in love with first time round. The tracks I'm feeling at the moment = 'The Plains/Bitter Dancer', 'The Cascades' and 'Grown Ocean'.
Baroque Pop. Folk. Rock.
Song of the week
It's an old one, but still such a tune and it popped up on my shuffle the other day.
Crush of the week
Amber Heard
Photos from GQ Italy, March 2009
Film of the week
THE INFORMERS is a film set in early-80s LA starring Billy Bob Thornton, Mickey Rourke, Kim Basinger, Jon Foster, Austin Nichols and my crush of the week Amber Heard. Whilst it may not have done well critically or commercially, I really enjoyed it, (maybe more so because of Ms Heard). It was not nearly as bad as I expected it to be.
Female model of the week
I love a little bit of Ale.

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama -- Holy Family Cristo Rey Catholic High School in Ensley is launching a capital campaign, according to a news release today from the school.
"Board members and school officials are currently gathering support to help the school continue providing an affordable college preparatory education for inner-city youth who otherwise could not afford private tuition," the release states.
This announcement comes after Father Alex Steinmiller, school president, told AL.com earlier today that Holy Family is facing tough times financially.
"We have not been able in our 6 years of existence to raise any capital to sustain us in the down time of the year, June through August," Steinmiller said. "We have operated 'cash in and cash out' for the last 6 years. Our board wisely decided that either we raise the capital or we cannot continue in the present economic mode of doing business."
AL.com was also told this morning that the board and Holy Family staff were to meet at the school today to discuss the situation.
Holy Family Principal Sidney Moore said "it is business as usual" at the school, according to the release.
The school is continuing to welcome new students and preparing to open as planned on Aug. 5 for the new school year, the release states.
The school was also to host admissions testing for prospective students today and again on Tuesday, June 25.
"Private schools of this size always need money to make education affordable," Moore said. "Every student here receives tuition assistance and we always have to raise money to help them out."
Holy Family has been part of the national Cristo Rey network of Catholic high schools since 2007 and offers students a unique work-study program.
Students work five days per month at one of more than 60 businesses in metro Birmingham, thereby earning about 70 percent of their tuition.
School officials say that 100 percent of Holy Family graduates have been accepted into college since the school joined Cristo Rey network.
The 30 graduates in the Holy Family Class of 2013 have received a combined $2.34 million in scholarships, a school record, according to the news release.

MARTINSBURG - Without a helmet, a facemask, shoulder pads and his No. 44 jersey, Ryan Miller resembled many of the other Martinsburg players assembled for a championship meet-and-greet Thursday at the high school.
Until he signed his autograph.
Then the fans streaming through the cafeteria knew when they saw his name.

The four state championship trophies had a prominent place.
Miller's blocked punt that bounced out of the end zone for a safety provided the point differential in Martinsburg's historic 9-7 victory over Huntington Saturday for the Bulldogs' fourth state Class AAA championship in a row.
"They're just saying, 'Congratulations,' and 'Good job,' and stuff like that," Miller said in between signing some pictures and t-shirts.
Miller said he didn't know how many people have asked him about the blocked punt over the the five days since Martinsburg became the first Class AAA team in West Virginia to win four championships in a row.
"Quite a few," he said.
In time, it'll likely be quite a few more questions about it for the rather reserved senior.
The celebration was somewhat a reflection of Miller's demeanor.
"We figured we'd scale it back a little," said Martinsburg coach David Walker, who agreed the demure approach fit his personal style a little more, too.
"We'll do a nice football banquet for the team," Walker said.
For the previous three celebrations, fans filled the Martinsburg Fieldhouse to hear assorted speeches from school administrators and local government officials.
This time they strode through the line of players in a fairly solid stream for more than hour, ate cake and gazed at pictures from the championship game and at all four title trophies.
"It's a little more sedate," said the vociferous Malique Watkins, the team's senior quarterback.
The event was just as fun to him as any of the others.
"I've done this the last three years," he said. "This is probably the only one that matters. I'm enjoying it while I can."
That's even though an ankle he sprained early in the state championship game still hurt him.
"The second drive," Watkins said. "A linebacker dove at me as I was being tackled at the same time. I walked it off; I'm glad it was on third down."
Like Watkins, A.J. Petry played his last snaps for Martinsburg during the championship win over Huntington.
Petry thought the adverse weather that canceled school Monday and Tuesday came as a testament to the Bulldogs.
"With the snow days, it seemed like we got a couple of days off because we won our fourth state championship," Petry said. "It really sunk in we made history.
"It's a great feeling."
Walker, though, said he's still wrapping his head around the accomplishment
"I don't know if it's still completely sunk in," the coach said. "I keep thinking about all the hard work the kids have put in. I'm just proud of how the players, coaching staff, school and community put in hard work.
"It's a team effort."
Martinsburg won 54 of 56 games during its four-year championship run.
Soon, the underclassmen will get in the weight room to begin working on winning a fifth title in a row.
"I'd like to think there's always possibilities," Walker said. "It depends on how hard we work.
"I like to think anything is possible."

The "Just Kidding! I'm a Kid!" Faces of 80s and 90s Sitcom StarsCarolyn Castiglia
BuzzFeed compiled a group of photos last week celebrating The "It's Apparent I'm A Parent" Face In Family Sitcom Opening Credits. The quintessential sitcom parent look involves a lot of tight-lipped smiling and crossed arms, suggesting an air of pleasant disdain familiar to so many of us from our own childhoods. But the archetypal sitcom kid is exactly the opposite: always in some kind of quirky, wide open position reflecting the wackiness of their boldly colored denim overalls and printed rayon shirt. Sitcom kids have just been caught in the act by sitcom parents, their faces reading, "Just kidding! I'm a kid!" Here are the best from the 80s and 90s sitcoms we all loved:
The Cosby Girls 1 of 8Rudy, Vanessa and Olivia rocking the "We're too cute to get in trouble!" look. If all else fails, lip sync! BABY! BABY!

Samantha Micelli 5 of 8Moody teen Samantha Micelli proves to be the exception to the goofy open pose rule, as you can see here. Sam's looking a little closed off; maybe she's got her period and is worried about bleeding through those awesome purple pants?! Interestingly, Judith Light's character Angela Bower also goes against type in the "parent faces" collection. Angela loves being a mom so much she smiles with her teeth! Or is that just the lightness Tony brings out in her?!
