Dance classes offer many benefits for little girls and boys: New skills and friends, exercise, an appreciation for the arts and more.
But at Trudy's School of Dance on James Island, dance is also about being a part of the family - a legacy that stretches back to the studio's founding in 1939 by Trudy Oltmann. A true family business, Trudy's is now owned by Linda Oltmann Walker and Tiffany Oltmann Gauch DiPrima - the daughter and granddaughter, respectively, of the legendary Trudy, now 92.
The studio hasn't missed a beat in 75 years, sharing the joy and art of dance with thousands of Lowcountry residents who keep coming back for more. (Several students are celebrating more than 35 years of taking dance at Trudy's!)
Here, Linda and Tiffany share their thoughts about the Oltmann family's lifelong commitment to teaching dance, how the art has evolved through the years, and the lessons they've learned at Trudy's.
What do you think has been your secret to success all these years?
Linda: We have a family feel here. Everybody says that when they walk in our door here, they feel like they're a part of the family. That's the way Trudy always had it, and how she taught me and my sister, Judy Oltmann Bennet (who retired as co-director of the school in 2008). They know how Tiffany and I were raised in the studio to treat people and that we have the best interest in mind for them and their kids.
How long have you been dancing?
Linda: Since I was 3. I'd go with my mom when she was in the studio teaching. She didn't have a babysitter back then, so she took me to the studio with her. Same thing for Tiffany. We joke that we started dancing right out of the womb, but age 3 is when we officially started and went on stage.
How has the dance world changed through the years? What are some of the new trends in dance?
Tiffany: I think it's just the genres have change a little bit. I remember back when I was little it was just ballet, tap, and jazz. Now we have contemporary, hip-hop and ballet fusion. . There is still is jazz tap, and ballet, but now when someone comes into studio there are many more classes. They come to take one class and end up taking two or three or four.
Linda: I remember when hip-hop started. People said it was just a trend, but now it's been 15 to 20 years. A lot of people get tired of going to the gym, working out with weights or with DVDs at home - that can only stay fresh for so long.
What are the biggest joys of running a dance studio?
Linda: We love what we do. We're blessed to have a job that we love, being able to reach people through dance. They'll come in and say they're a terrible dancer: "Can you make me a great dancer?" We can make you a better dancer! For me, it's about the creativity and the people.
Tiffany: When at the end of a show you hear a younger child say they want to be able to dance like you or teach like you one day, it tugs on your heart strings a little bit. They're little sponges; it makes you realize how much you impact them. And, working with my mom isn't terrible either. (Laughs)
What are some of the toughest challenges?
Tiffany: I'd say losing a student, who started when they were 3, to college. That's tough, but it happens.
They become family. We have a room back here, we call it the teen or tween room. They bring their dinner and homework and hang out. It's like their second home here.
So, when they leave, it's tough. That last hug and that last show is tough. But they always come back and usually come back to dance when they finish college
Linda: I agree. Losing people that you have for so long is one of the hardest things that we have to do.
If you weren't a dance studio owner, what would your job be?
Linda: A dance student somewhere. I think Tiffany and I both had our doubts at one time. I swore I would never teach dance because I grew up in it, but my senior year in high school, my mom got really sick. I had to take over the studio and plan a show, and do it all myself in four weeks. I either had to do it or close the studio. When the show was over and the kids came up to hug me, I knew this is what I should be doing.
Tiffany: After college, I moved to San Diego and wrote for a music magazine. I stayed with the arts, but I kept gravitating back to dance. I surprised my mom one year and came back to the recital. I moved home shortly after that and came back to the studio.
What's the biggest lesson you've learned from dancing?
Linda: So many of my parents have said: "My child is not just learning steps here: She is learning about people, tenderness, respect, teamwork, pride, family."
They learn so much more by being involved in the school. They're not just numbers to us or last names. They are individuals. They have ups and down. We're there for them and they're there for us.
The lesson is: You're going to get back a lot more by being kind to people and sharing your passion, and it will pay you back tenfold.
Tiffany: Dance is an emotion. It comes from your soul and your heart and no matter how good you think you might be, that comes out when you put the music on. Students forget where they are. It transcends all levels and all ages for me.
What is the greatest lesson your mom ever taught you?
Linda on Trudy: She always said, that when those students were coming in, they're coming in to do what they love. Your responsibility as a teacher is to make sure you give them your all. If they come to a class and you can't get a smile from them during class, you're not reaching them, and you need to try harder. They're coming for fun, for enjoyment, and to learn. If they don't smile, you take them aside and see what's going on, but make sure you're giving them 100 percent. If you can't do that, you don't need to be teaching dance.
Tiffany on Linda: My mom always told me that whether it's in the studio or outside, Trudy's had a legacy, and there are a lot of people who know who you are and who look up to you for what you offer at Trudy's - dance or the family atmosphere. Every person who walks through that door, whether they're 2 or 82, you never know what's going on in their lives. So be aware, and if you see someone who's quieter than usual and they're not laughing or having a good time, something is going on and you might have to adjust your plan.
What's the one lesson you hope children who dance at the studio will learn?
Linda: Self-esteem, I think, if I had to pick one thing. Positive self-esteem and the sense of accomplishment that you can do anything. That affects your attitude about everything else. You have to be happy yourself, on the inside, before you can help other people.
Tiffany: You hear people say it's not about the destination, it's about the journey. It's so true. We have those people who come in and watch "So You Think You Can Dance" and say, "I'm never going to dance like her." Of course, she probably has been dancing for eight hours a day since she was 3.
But if they're here now, and they look forward to coming to class, that's all that matters. I have people say that this is the one hour they look forward to the whole week. For me, that does it right there.

I Can't Read That!
Family historians must be prepared for the many diverse languages that impact our rsearch.
When we must deal with foreign languages, unfamiliar alphabets or archaic handwriting, we need to be prepared or know where to find help. As we learn to read these alphabets and handwriting, we can understand how and where mistakes were made in our names.
Reading through online passenger manifests and census images for the names we know can be enlightening. I skipped over someone named Menchel Tallelsy until I looked at the actual manifest image - It was our cousin Mendel Talalay. The D was scrawled and the transcriber thought it was a separate C and H, instead of the correct D. I recognized TALLELSY immediately as TALALAY, but then I've been looking at even stranger forms of this name for a long time.
The more you look at old handwriting, the better you'll be able to read it. There are also some excellent online resources for this task, listed at the end of this article.
If you can, start with records or documents in a language you know to become familiar with the challenges.
No matter how good you think your eyes are, use a magnifying glass. I never understood why people in the library always had them. After some major eye strain, I went out and got one myself.
A journalist's motto, and a genealogist's, is always "Do Not Assume." Read carefully and slowly to decipher the words. Ask others to read a listing and see if they can decipher. Several pairs of eyes are always better than one.
Check your document for confusing letters and see if other words on the same page might have them. If the letter form is in a word you can read, use it to decode the others. If days and months are indicating, they can be useful in decoding letter combinations to unravel the other puzzles.
If you can, scan the document and use a program like PhotoShop to enlarge specific words and then crop individual letters to print out. You'll have a handy-dandy poster to hang on your wall.
I've participated in two recent transcription projects of Israeli cemeteries totalling 85,000 burials in two major cemeteries. The records were in Hebrew and needed to be transliterated into English for JewishGen's searchable Online World Burial Registry. The golden rule is always to transcribe whatever is there, exactly as is, complete with errors, but since Hebrew is a phonetic language and usually written without vowels, the names are open to interpretation.
When the names were recorded, the often Eastern European clerks were faced with names to record and spell in Amharic (Ethiopian), Farsi (Persian), Greek or Spanish. In our transliteration, we needed to try to discover the ethnic origins of unusual names, the pronounciation and correct English spelling.
In general, transcribers in large projects need to be familiar with common names and places with fcompetiency in historic handwriting (paleography). Those who are familiar with certain ethnic common names and handwriting may see the letters clearly and unambiguously. Others, with no frame of reference, have a more difficult time. However, the errors may eventually help and provide more information. Keep your originals original. You can always refer to the original and the error when analyzing your findings.
For good practice, read through a wide variety of passenger manifests. Some are beautiful examples of calligraphy, while others are scribbled with leaky pens, complete with ink blotches. With many names on each manifest, you can review them and train your eyes. If you come across a familiar name or place, use those clues to decipher other names.
Check online and at specialty websites for handwriting aids. Avotaynu has some transcription manuals for different languages. Your local Family History Center has finding aids, alphabet charts, abbreviation lists and more. Collect those pertinent to the countries and languages you are searching.
Confusing letters are not only found in the middle of words. The initial letter may also be hard to read and lead to running up the wrong research road or coming to a brick wall. In some intensive work with the Ellis Island Database, before Steve Morse's One-Step Pages www.stevemorse.org were developed, I discovered these letter groups are often confused.
I,J; S, F, P; D, C and H; F, H; J, I; K, R; S, L; O, Q; P, R; U, V; W, M, V, U; b,f; d, el; j, I; k, t; s, l; t, c; ss, fs, ps; w, vv; y, g, q.
Also think about what certain letters sounded like in various languages, particularly when the speaker had an accent: B-P; D-T; F-P, F-V, G-K, J-Y, S-Z, V-B, V-W, W-R. C-S, CH-SH, R-RR, L-LL.
Vowels are also a problem. I, IE. EY and Y can be substituted for each other. AI-AY-AJ all sound the same. A name that begins with an A can begin with an O or other vowel, so check each spelling.
I've listed some examples of language aids online. There are many more. Try to look at some that focus on your family origins. I'm interested in hearing your comments and what you've found. If the database you are searching has the option for "contains," try using the name written without the first letter.

Antiques in the spring
Springtime in Lodi always starts with a day of hunting for those antiques you just have to take home: 1960s daisy-print trunks, mint green salt and pepper shakers, black-and-white lithograph postcards and rusted garden furniture. The Lodi Street Faire brings about 700 vendors to the streets of Downtown for a day of shopping in mild weather. One of Lodi's annual signature events, the street faire will take place May 5 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The owner of the decaying Girard Warehouses, the historic complex stretching along Front Street north of Market Street, must stabilize and seal the buildings by Nov. 29, a Philadelphia court ordered yesterday.
The owner, a private partnership, will be fined $750,000 if it does not adhere to a strict schedule of repairs, including reconstruction of two collapsed rear walls, Common Pleas Court Judge Jane Cutler Greenspan said.
The consent agreement arose from a suit that the city filed last week after construction and repair work on the buildings - about the last of the city's old commercial waterfront - apparently ceased, officials said.

The Film
King rocker and legendary frontman of The Clash, Joe Strummer was hot on the comeback trail, touring America and Japan before his untimely death in 2002. Derived from a longer work called Let's Rock Again!, this eight-minute music documentary follows rock icon Strummer on his intercontinental tour — 11 years since he last hit the road — and features montage performances from The Clash, songs from Strummer's later band The Mescaleros, and Strummer himself waxing philosophical on music and life. An intimate portrait, Joe Strummer Rocks Again! is a memoir piece produced by Strummer and his longtime friend Dick Rude.

Comcast Needs to Come Clean
Over the last couple of days, Comcast has been telling the press that they're not interfering with their users' traffic, they're just "delaying" it. Let's examine that proposition for a moment. In our previous posts, we discussed Comcast's forging of TCP RST packets to kill users' connections on BitTottent, Gnutella and Lotus Notes. To see just how disingenuous Comcast is being, consider the following analogy:
Alice is trying to telephone Bob. Alice telephones Bob, and hears someone answer the phone in Bob's voice. They say "I'm sorry Alice, I don't want to talk to you", and hang up. Except, it wasn't actually Bob who answered the phone, it was Comcast using a special device to impersonate Bob's voice. Comcast might describe this as "delaying" Alice and Bob's conversation, on the theory that perhaps they'll keep calling each other until some day when Comcast isn't using their special device. They may also invoke the theory that Alice will call other people who are a lot like Bob, but aren't on Comcast's network, so her conversation will only be delayed.
If "delaying" traffic was Comcast's private intent, they were clearly making absurd and frequently incorrect assumptions about the protocols they were jamming. No doubt that is how they wound up blocking Lotus Notes. (On that subject: after the blog and media attention that followed our post pointing out that situation, Comcast may have finally listened to IBM/Lotus and taken steps to stop jamming Notes. We're happy they've done that, but we have little confidence that smaller companies or free/open source software developers would be able to get Comcast's attention when their protocols are broken by Comcast's packet spoofing.)
Another thing that Comcast has started suggesting to reporters — without giving any details — is that for obscure technical reasons, they can't always prevent network congestion by reducing the amount of bandwidth available to P2P protocols, so when the network is busy, they start jamming them instead. This is an interesting argument, but it's very hard to evaluate or refute it without any details! (A nice rhetorical trick, that.)
For now, let's be very generous to Comcast and assume what we think is false: let's assume that some P2P network or other actually triggers a flaw in the way cable modem networks are designed, so that it's hard for Comcast to keep plenty of the channel free for web surfers when there are enough P2P nodes around. In that case, rather than just spoofing packets and offering incredibly disingenuous denials after they've been caught red-handed, Comcast should come clean. They should explain what they're doing, and explain in precise and detailed terms why they're doing it. If they do that, the technical community will be able to evaluate their arguments properly, decide whether they've got any basis at all, and (we're just guessing here) explain to them how to solve their problem correctly and without arbitrarily jamming things.
That way, Comcast might not break the very thing they claim to be selling access to: the Internet.

The hypothesis that those who are aware of psychologic distress are less likely to experience parapsychiatric events (psychosocial predicaments) was not confirmed. The data showed that the experience of such psychosocial events is an alternative way of expressing psychological disorder. The rate of parapsychiatric events in those who did not consult a psychiatrist was inversely related to social class position—the lower the position, the higher the rate. In brief, the study showed that a significant proportion of the population under study suffered psychological distress which was expressed in a way which did not bring them to the standard psychiatric resources, either public or private.

LUBBOCK - Two college basketball teams looking to stop losing streaks will face off today.
Oklahoma State, though, will have a decisive advantage playing at Gallagher-Iba Arena.
The No. 17 Cowboys have won 16 in a row at home, the eighth-best winning streak in school history, coming into today's game against Texas Tech at 3 p.m.
OSU has appeared to be a Jekyll-and-Hyde team this season, winning every game at home but losing on the road. The Cowboys have won all four Big 12 Conference games at home, while dropping all four road contests, including their last two, at Colorado and Oklahoma.
Tech at (17) OSU
Big 12 Game: Texas Tech Red Raiders (15-9 overall, 4-5 Big 12) at No. 17 Oklahoma State Cowboys (18-5, 4-4), 3 p.m. today, Gallagher-Iba Arena Stillwater, Okla.
Tuning In: ESPN2-TV.
Texas Tech, meanwhile, started the season well away from home with four consecutive victories - three by double digits - but the Red Raiders are 1-3 on the road in conference play.
"In my mind, Oklahoma State plays about seven players and they're a little tired," Tech assistant coach Stew Robinson said. "That's tough, especially on the road. They played well against Tennessee and Pittsburgh earlier in the season, but if you look at them now, they look tired.
"They're definitely a team that needs a win, like we do, and they haven't lost at home. We're expecting them to give us their best shot."
The Cowboys are on a little more solid ground when it comes to the NCAA Tournament. With an 18-5 overall record and a Ratings Percentage Index number in the 20s, OSU can feel good about its chances.
The Red Raiders, though, have been sliding since winning four of their first five conference games.
Tech comes in with a four-game losing streak, which includes a 61-59, heartbreaking defeat on Tuesday at home to Nebraska. The Cornhuskers won the game on a buzzer-beating 3-pointer by Charles Richardson Jr.
Robinson said Tech didn't handle Nebraska's box-and-one zone defense on Jay Jackson very well. Jackson was held to five points, the first time in 50 games the senior guard didn't reach double figures.
"The movement wasn't there and that was part of it, and Jay, he could have done other things," Robinson said. "He wasn't very hard to guard and that spells disaster for us. Despite all that, we still had a chance to win, though."
Tech has relied heavily on Jackson and Martin Zeno recently, which has been one of the problems during the losing skid. Jon Plefka scored 15 points and Alan Voskuil added 14 - both off the bench - but the Red Raiders received a combined 12 points from seven other players against the Huskers.

West Michigan Academy of Arts and Academic Director Floyd Strandberg, the target of a petition drive by parents demanding his immediate termination, announced Friday he will resign from his position before June 15.
Strandberg announced his decision to resign in an e-mail sent to board members and staff at 4:18 a.m. Friday.
"Out of love for the students, respect for the staff, and devotion to the missions at WMAAA, I will be officially resigning my position," Strandberg wrote. "The official end date is to be determined, but it will be by June 30, 2008 or before. My prayers are with all of you."
Strandberg was not at the academy Friday and could not be reached for additional comment.
Board Vice President Judy Bregman cautioned Friday that the board has not accepted Strandberg's resignation. She said that will be an agenda item at the May 27 meeting.
Although most personnel at the academy are hired by the school's management company -- The Woodbridge Group -- Bregman said the director is the one employee in which "the board has direct input." She said if the board decides to accept Strandberg's resignation, its decision will be forwarded to the management company for action.
Bregman declined to comment about Strandberg's announced resignation because "there is a danger what I say could be interpreted as speaking for the entire board."
Strandberg's resignation came as the academy board was preparing to conduct a performance review of the director position after parents, teachers and staff complained of a conflict with the administration. A timetable for that review was supposed to be revealed at the board's May 27 meeting.
On Tuesday, academy board Chairman Andy Catlin submitted his immediate resignation over "sharp and irreconcilable differences" with some board members that came to a head when the academy board submitted a proposal to buy the former Ferrysburg Elementary School for $1 million from the city of Ferrysburg. Catlin's resignation also will be discussed by the board later this month.
The offer to buy the school buildings caught staff, teachers and parents by surprise and highlighted what some believe is an ongoing schism between the school community and the administration. Critics contend the proposed purchase would deplete the school's $1.15 million reserve fund and ruin the academy's small-school flavor by expanding to a second campus.
Opponents of Strandberg last month launched an Internet petition drive calling for his immediate termination. As of Friday afternoon, the petition listed 31 signatures.
Strandberg has been the leading proponent of expanding the academy to the former Ferrysburg Elementary School, about a half mile from the academy main building at 17350 Hazel. The academy currently has 385 kindergarten through eighth-grade students.
Strandberg had warned the academy needed to expand to survive predicted state cuts to elementary and secondary education. Additional space also is needed for a proposed performing arts center.
Janet Taylor, a parent and member of the academy's strategic planning committee, said she believes Strandberg made his decision for "what he felt was best for the school and the kids."

Recently, investigators have reported 39 cases of hyperthyroidism without thyroid pain and/or tenderness associated with low radioactive iodine uptake (RAIU). Gluck and associates1 have made a valuable contribution to the understanding of the cause of this syndrome by noting histological changes of chronic thyroiditis on thyroid biopsies performed in four cases. Although the changes of chronic thyroiditis have also been detected by other investigators,2,3 there remains considerable controversy over whether patients with this thyroid disorder have a form of subacute thyroiditis or chronic thyroiditis. In an editorial in the January Archives (138:26-27, 1978), Woolf indicates that patients exhibit features of both disorders. The clinical course, low RAIU, and negative or weakly positive thyroid antibodies suggests subacute thyroiditis, while the absence of thyroidal pain, normal ESR and biopsy findings are consistent with chronic thyroiditis. Although the relative merits of these causes are debated in recent reports, editorials,

I'm not going to lie, I'm a real bird nerd. I love feeding and watching the birds in my yard. We have several store-bought bird feeders up in our yard, but I thought the kids would like to make a beautiful homemade bird feeder for their feathered friends too. Birds need food all year around, but food sources can be especially scarce in the Winter. I make sure that my feeders are always full so the birdies won't go hungry! This bird feeder was so simple to make, you just have to be patient while the water sets. The next day you can hang this homemade bird feeder outside and delight in watching the birds sneak a treat. I love that the wreath is set in ice, so not only are the little birdies getting a snack, but they are pecking at the ice too and probably enjoying a little drink at the same time. Because this bird feeder is set in ice, it's for Winter climates only, below 0 degrees. Anything above that, and your lovely ice wreath bird feeder is going to melt! Not only is this wreath a great source of food for the birds, but it's also beautiful to look at!
What You'll Need
birdseed for outdoor Winter birds – I would say about 4 cups, but you may use more or less depending on the size of your pan
pine tree sprigs
boxwood leaves – they don't wilt when they are frozen so they will stay beautiful in your wreath!
a bundt pan – mine was silicone
How To Make It
1. Take your bundt pan and place it on a flat surface.
2. Fill your bundt pan until it's about 3/4′s full with all your ingredients – bird seed, cranberries, sticks, pine tree sprigs, boxwood leaves. It really doesn't matter what order you put these in. The kids just kind of threw stuff in. When ours froze, the birdseed sunk to the bottom and the sticks, leaves and cranberries stayed on the top. That was okay because it looked beautiful.
3. When done filling your pan with the ingredients, fill it with water until it just covers the ingredients. Place your bundt pan either in the freezer – or place outside – until frozen.
4. When completely frozen (I waited until the next day), remove from pan, cut a piece of ribbon and hang the ribbon from the wreath. Hang your wreath outside and watch your little feathered friends!

Several months after resigning her post as governor of Alaska, a more moderate Sarah Palin addressed a group of global investors in Hong Kong giving what she called her view of Main Street.
"I'm going to call it like I see it, and I will share with you candidly a view right from Main Street, Main Street U.S.A.," Palin said, according to a video of part of the speech obtained by The Associated Press. "And how perhaps my view of Main Street ... how that affects you and your business."
The former vice presidential candidate's speech was broad in scope, touching on everything from from financial markets and Afghanistan to China-U.S. relations and health care.
Some have speculated the address was meant to lay the first brick in the foundation for a 2012 White House bid. Palin caught much political heat in 2008 for her lack of foreign policy experience. "She has learned and grown from the election," said Melvin Goode, New York-based consultant who said he'd carried out some political polling for President Barack Obama in the past.
"She was more level headed," he said. "She didn't criticize. I was waiting to see if she said anything derogatory about Obama, and she didn't."
Instead she argued for less government involvement, calling for lower taxes and a private-sector solution to health care.
Palin also touched on U.S.-China relations, suggesting the U.S. had a role to play in shaping China's future. She prompted China to become a more a responsible member of the world community and to help resolve issues related to Afghanistan, North Korea, and other troubled regions.
Wednesday's address - her first given overseas - was closed to the media so that she could make an "unfettered" presentation to the investors.

According to this, every one of you who commented on my original groceries post is doing really well keeping costs in check -- even as we all try to prepare healthful, tasty, relatively interesting meals for our families.
We should all be proud of ourselves! Keep up the good work, folks!
(The "thrifty" plan AKA the "eat a bunch of crap or starve" plan is still disgustingly low to me, but that's a rant for another day.)

Physical Literacy
Jump teaches physical literacy, a combination of fundamental movement skills and fundamental sport skills. With these skills kids have a foundation to explore and enjoy different sports and physical activities keeping them active for life.
In this video, Jennifer Hood, Owner and Director of Jump, explains physical literacy and why she believes it's essential learning for every child.
Canadian Sport for Life (CS4L) is a movement to improve the quality of sport and physical activity in Canada. CS4L links sport, education, recreation and health and aligns community, provincial and national programming. LTAD is a seven-stage training, competition and recovery pathway guiding an individual's experience in sport and physical activity from infancy through all phases of adulthood.
Active for Life is the place where parents go to learn about how to make a difference in the health and happiness of their children. Research shows there's a right way and a right time to develop the fundamental movement and sport skills that benefit kids for their entire lives. Learning these basic movement and sports skills is known as becoming physically literate.

Initial media reports of the school shooting that took three young lives in Chardon, Ohio, earlier this week followed a somewhat predictable path. The killer was a "loner" who had been bullied in school, a few people speculated - and the press ran with it.
Within hours, teenagers who knew the alleged shooter, 17-year-old T.J. Lane, said that was bunk. Lane had not been bullied. He had friends, though he was not particularly outgoing.
On Tuesday, Lane's attorney told a judge at his client's arraignment that, "This is not about bullying. This is not about drugs. This is someone who's not well ..."
That goes without saying. Anyone who would begin shooting at other human beings is not well, psychologically. The extent of Lane's problems remains to be determined.
But initial reactions to the shooting - again, including those of some in the news media - illustrate a serious challenge in identifying troubled youths who may become violent. Too often, we as a society tend to simplify such situations. We go for the easy, politically correct answers.
That is a naive and dangerous approach to violence by people of any age.
More - much more -needs to be known about teenagers who go on killing sprees. We need answers, not politically correct theories that place other children at risk.
Somewhere, over the rainbow ... That ought to be President Barack Obama's new slogan. "Hope and change" just isn't believable anymore.
Obama once again demonstrated his separation from reality last weekend, in telling Americans we really shouldn't be worrying about high gasoline prices.
Why, by 2025, cars averaging 55 miles per gallon of gasoline will be available in U.S. showrooms, Obama assured us - thanks to his administration's higher standards for fuel efficiency.
"That means folks will be able to fill up every two weeks instead of every week, saving the typical family more than $8,000 at the pump over time. That's a big deal," the president said in his weekly radio address.
But $4 a gallon gasoline is a big deal right now. And Obama, through actions such as blocking the Keystone XL pipeline and drilling in new areas of the United States, is forcing gasoline prices even higher during the next few years. Never mind about 2025.
It also seems to have escaped the president's notice that ultra-high mileage cars such as the Chevrolet Volt are not affordable for most American families. They can't afford to save money on fuel, in effect.
A variety of actions, ranging from more domestic drilling to encouraging coal liquefaction, could ease fuel prices sooner than 2025. But Obama isn't interested. He would prefer unrealistic technologies that, at some point over the rainbow, may help.

Elizabeth Hurley's wedding to Arun Nayar may have been unlike most – she was given away by Elton John – but she was as emotional as any bride, she says.
"I cried in the church, during Elton's speech and during our first dance," Hurley, 41, tells Hello! magazine. "I'm afraid my stiff upper lip deserted me."
Nayar, 42, an Indian businessman, was overcome as well. When his bride walked down the aisle, "I have never seen anyone look so beautiful, and I was so full of emotion that I had to struggle not to cry," he says. "I felt so full of love for her."
The couple wed on Saturday in a 90-minute religious ceremony (which followed a small civil ceremony the day before) at Sudeley Castle in Winchcombe, 125 miles west of London.
Hurley's ex, Hugh Grant, was not among the celebrity guests (who included Elle Macpherson, Eva Herzigova and Yasmin Le Bon). "We adore our exes," Hurley tells Hello!, "but we thought it would make all four of us feel a bit sad." (Nayar was previously married to Italian model Valentina Pedroni.)
On Monday, the newlyweds arrived in Mumbai, India, for a week of celebrations, which began Monday night with a private dinner reception at the city's Taj Hotel.
One small hitch in their plans: Mumbai authorities reportedly demolished the party tents and wooden structures set up for a party at Juhu beach. "Illegal encroachment along the beach coastline is not allowed," SS Zende, a Mumbai municipal officer, tells AFP.
For details on Elizabeth's wedding dress, the lavish reception and more, pick up the new issue of PEOPLE, on newsstands Friday.

On Campus college notebook, April 27
Former McDowell swimming standout Kelsey Ferrante, a junior at the University of Akron, recently won medals in several events at the three-day Mid-American Conference swimming and diving championships at the Spire Institute in Geneva, Ohio, in March.
Ferrante was named to the all-MAC first team and helped the Zips win the conference championship for the first time in school history.
Ferrante placed fourth in the 200-yard backstroke (1 minute, 59.49 seconds), fifth in the 200 IM (2:02.01) and fifth in the 100 backstroke (54.87). Ferrante also swam a leg on the winning 200 medley relay team (1:39.69). She was also part of the 400 medley relay team (3:40.65) that placed second. Both medley teams set school records.
Ferrante also swam on the 800 freestyle relay (third place, 7:23.67) and 400 free relay (fourth, 3:24.11).
Ferrante recently received the team's Coach's Award for attitude, effort and conduct both in and out of the pool.
Akron head coach Brian Peresie also was named MAC coach of the year.
Ferrante, a co-captain for the Zips, is pursuing a degree in exercise science-physiology.
Fairview graduate Amanda Lawson, a junior at Akron, also helped the Zips win the title at the MAC championships.
Lawson, a breaststroke and individual medley specialist, finished 10th in the 200 breaststroke in 2:17.64 and 10th in the 100 breast in 1:02.82. She also swam in the 200 IM, finishing 29th in 2:08.95.
- Former Central Tech and Villa Maria student-athlete Terry Carson is wrapping up his college baseball career with Montreat College, an NAIA program in North Carolina.
Carson, who formerly played at Gannon before transferring, is having a strong senior season with Montreat. Going into the weekend, the 6-foot 3-inch, 225-pound right fielder led the Cavaliers with seven home runs and 22 RBIs. He was hitting .282 (31-of-110) in 37 games with a .412 on-base percentage and a .536 slugging percentage despite a recent slump.
Montreat entered the weekend with an 18-26 record.
- Florida Gulf Coast has gained national attention for its basketball in recent seasons, but the Eagles also have a strong hockey team.
Erik Frits, a McDowell graduate, recently helped the FGCU hockey team finish as the Division II national runner-up in the American College Hockey Association. Florida Gulf Coast lost to New Hampshire 5-3 in the title game March 25 in Marlborough, Mass. FGCU beat the Penn State Ice Lions -- PSU's club team -- 6-4 in the semifinals.
Frits, a fifth-year senior, was a defenseman for the Eagles. After the 16-team ACHA tournament, Frits was named to the all-tournament first team as a defenseman and received a plaque for his efforts.
He helped the Eagles to a 26-2-1regular-season record while compiling three goals and seven assists in 28 games. Frits also had a team-high 53 penalty minutes.

FAO and IRRI Report on Rising Temperatures' Impact on Rice
9 August 2010: The Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN (FAO) has reported on research undertaken by a team of scientists from the FAO, the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) and academic institutions on temperature impacts on rice yields.
The research uses data collected in irrigated fields across six Asian rice growing countries. It finds that while daytime temperature increases contribute to better rice growth up to a point, these gains are offset by negative impacts of increased evening temperatures. The results suggest that rising temperatures have cut yield growth rate by 10-20% in several locations. The researchers highlight the potential negative impact of reduced rice yield on global food security and poverty. IRRI is a member of the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR). [FAO Press Release]

Native Americans[edit]
Indians friendly to the settlers resided in east Texas[5] before the Kiowa, Kickapoo, Kichai, Apache and Comanche intruded upon their territory.[6] These tribes hunted, farmed the land, and were adept traders. By 1772 they had settled on the Brazos at Waco and on the Trinity upstream from the site of present Palestine. The Tawakoni[7] branch of Wichita Indians originated north of Texas, but migrated south into east Texas. From 1843 onward, the Tawakoni were part of treaties made by both the Republic of Texas and the United States.
On May 19, 1836 an alliance of Comanche, Kiowa, Caddo and Wichita attacked Fort Parker, killing or kidnapping all but about 18 settlers who managed to escape to Fort Houston, which had been erected in Anderson County in 1835 as protection against Indians.[8][9] Among the captured was Cynthia Ann Parker, who later became mother of Comanche Chief Quanah Parker.[10] Some residents of Anderson County are related to Cynthia Ann Parker.
In October 1838, Gen. Thomas Jefferson Rusk conducted a raid against hostile Indians at Kickapoo, near Frankston,[11] ending the engagements with the Indians in eastern Texas for that year.
In 1826, empresario David G. Burnet received a grant from the Coahuila y Tejas legislature to settle 300 families in what is now Anderson County.[12] Most of the settlers in the county came from the southern states and from Missouri.
Baptist spiritual leader Daniel Parker[13][14] and eight other men organized the Pilgrim Predestinarian Regular Baptist Church in Lamotte, Illinois. The fellowship in its entirety migrated in 1833 to the new frontier of Texas. Among this group of settlers were Silas M. Parker, Moses Herrin, Elisha Anglin, Luther T. M. Plummer, David Faulkenberry,[15] Joshua Hadley, and Samuel Frost. Fort Parker was the earliest actual settlement in the vicinity. After the fort was attacked, some of the survivors moved to Anderson County.
County established[edit]
The First Legislature of the state of Texas formed Anderson County from Houston County on March 24, 1846. The county was named after Kenneth Lewis Anderson. Palestine[16] was named county seat.
Anderson County voted in favor of secession from the Union.[17] When the Civil War broke out, former Palestine district judge Judge John H. Reagan[18][19] served in the cabinet of the Confederate government as postmaster general, being captured at the end of the war and spending twenty-two months in solitary confinement. During Reconstruction, District Nine Court Judge Reuben A. Reeves,[20] a resident of Palestine, was removed from office as "an obstruction to Reconstruction" in part because of his refusal to allow blacks to participate as jurors in the judicial process.
In 1875, the International – Great Northern Railroad[21] placed its machine and repair shops and general offices in Palestine, causing the community to double in size over the next five years.
In January 1928 the first successful oil producer in Anderson County, known as the Humble-Lizzie Smith No. 1, was brought in.[22] By the year 2000 - 295,904,540 barrels (47,045,062 m3) of oil had been taken from county lands since 1929.
The Gus Engeling Wildlife Management Area[23] was purchased by the state between 1950 and 1960, much of it. Milze L. Derden. The area was renamed in 1952 after Gus A. Engeling, the first biologist assigned to the area, was shot and killed by a poacher on December 13, 1951.
Anderson County tied for 13th place in a list of the 25 American counties with the highest number of lynchings between 1877-1950.[24]
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the county has a total area of 1,078 square miles (2,790 km2), of which 1,063 square miles (2,750 km2) is land and 15 square miles (39 km2) (1.4%) is water.[25]

Hi, all.
We do use of ACE_Thread_Mutex in our code to protect critical
sections. The protection looks like follows:
// a global object
ACE_Thread_Mutex mutex;
// start critical section - the object <lock> created at function
stack and released when control gets out of function scope
ACE_Guard<ACE_Thread_Mutex> lock( mutex );
// get exclusive access to resources
What is your opinion - whether the ACE_Thread_Mutex is priority-
inversion-safe ?

Phil McGain won the biggest men's division and Argentina Jimenez Bonilla claimed the women's open crown to highlight the Meanline Fins Slalom on Saturday at Kanaha Beach Park in Kahului.
The contest was the third event on the 30th annual Maui Race Series schedule, and second to be finished.
Race organizers were able to run 24 heats with 15-18 knot winds in the morning, but lighter winds and a near-sinking of the start boat halted the afternoon ability-level racing.

Race director Rick Vetromile had already abandoned the first afternoon heat due to a light wind shift when the inflatable start boat came to shore one-third full of water. With the winds still not increasing, Vetromile then canceled the remaining 12 heats.
McGain won all four heats in the 50-59 age group.
"I had a good day, the winds were generally pretty light," he said. "I was focused on getting around the marks. I had good starts but Mike Yasak and Geoff Pease were pushing me hard."

Jimenez Bonilla had not claimed a women's top prize in more than two years.
"I loved the conditions today," she said, "and I loved the Hot Sail I used today."
Jimenez Bonilla won the first two heats while Tamara Bockius took the third. If Bockius had claimed the fourth heat, she would have won the tiebreaker and taken the division title.
Bockius broke her mast while sailing before the start sequence in the final heat, however, and was towed back to shore by the water patrol.
"I should have replaced it before it failed, it was an old piece of equipment," Bockius said. "It was like a shotgun exploded. It was just dumb, I know stuff breaks."
While Bockius was returning to the beach, Annie Crombie, a six-time New Zealand national slalom champion, got off to a great start and led until Jimenez Bonilla overtook her on the last outside leg. Crombie then passed Jimenez Bonilla after rounding the final outside buoy.
"I had some kind of rubbish on my fin," Jimenez Bonilla said of the final lead change. "It slowed me down. I was trying my best to make it to the last mark."
The day's other winners were Dan Ellis (19-39), Peter Slate (40-49) and Ben Massenburg (60 and over).
The next MRS event is the Quiksilver Cup, scheduled for July 19 at Kanaha.

Guide to Lapping Your GPU CoreFormer staff writer -
Category: Cooling, VGA Cooling
» Discuss this article (10)
Many of us in the overclocking community love to push every little bit of power out of our components whenever possible. Whether its upgrading equipment or improving on our existing hardware, many find themselves doing hours of work for a small drop in temperature, a gain in clock speeds, or both if possible. Lapping a heat sink is a common way to improve a system's cooling factor, but what about the component the heat sink itself is trying to cool? If that component isn't as flat as the heat sink, then there was probably little-to-no gain in lapping the heat sink to that component. One processor that many have overlooked perfection is one of the more common ones: The Nvidia Geforce 4 GPU itself. Today, I'll show you how to lap your video card processor core.
What you'll need
Lapping the core
First step is getting off your current heat sink (in this guide, it is not the stock heat sink, but the Thermaltake Gf4 Cooler). There are 2 pins to remove. There're a couple ways to get the pins off depending on how the heatsink is attached to your video card. Some heatsinks have pins you pull out or and some require pushing barbs in together on the plastic pins, located on the back side of the card. After that, it may be a little stubborn due to thermal pastes, but a twist and it should come off. If it is epoxy that holds it down, you are at risk of damaging you video card, but you can get it off with a blow dryer or heat gun. Just heat it up and slip something like a credit card between the heat sink and GPU and it should pop off.
As you noticed, the only contact spots were AROUND the center of the GPU, where the center is where cooling is needed the most. This is due to the odd shape of the cpu, but thats why were here, right? To fix this problem.
Should go a little something like this once you clean off all the thermal paste. It wont ever look the same after this, so take a last look.
As we put a strait edge on the GPU processor, we can see it curves slightly inward, which is what is killing our thermal tranfer to the heat sink. You can barely tell from the pic, but you can definatly see light shine through the crack between the strait edge and GPU. If it were even fairly flat, we wouldn't see any light at all. Just set your strait edge (or razor blade) from corner to corner of the GPU to see this for yourself. Our goal: get the GPU as flat as possible. If you havn't already, you may want to lap the heat sink to your video card for best performance and lapping of the GPU (explanation coming up). To lap the heat sink, take a look at this guide and it should get you started in the right direction. I highly recommend doing a heat sink of any sort before doing something as valuable as your graphics processor. After you lap the heat sink, if you have chosen to, it's time to get to business. Lapping will cause small fragments of various, conductive metal pieces to go just about everywhere (as well as water from wet sanding), so we should first protect out other components on the board. To do this, get your plastic bag and lay it down on top of the GPU. In this example, we use a Zip-Lock bag and just put it inside of there.
Trace the outer edge of the GPU on the bag with a marker. Take the card out and cut out a about an inch away from the tracing. This gives room for the tape to stick to the video card and bag. Put a layer of tape around the edges of where you cut out. Then place the video card back in the bag and seal it.
Use electrical tape to hold down the plastic bag and protect the naked areas around the GPU. Layer up the tape until you get around the edge of the GPU. If you can, keep the tape low so you don't sand it. We now have all of our components protected, so here comes the fun part: lapping It's time to choose something flat to lap the GPU with now. Since few can exactly fit a mirror around the capacitors and other high-raised objects on the board, something smaller will have to fit. One reason I highly suggested lapping the heat sink to the video card is because it will make it as flat as it gets, therefore it would make the GPU just about as flat if you choose to use it on sanding your processor (which in this guide, we used the heat sink for the base of the sand paper). So placing the sandpaper on the heat sink, folding the extra paper around the sides of the heat sink, dab a small amount of water on the sand paper and begin lapping the GPU with 400 grit. The best advice would be sanding in a circular pattern. That's what was done here and as long as you apply even pressure (remember, not to really push on it though!) and good circles, it should turn out perfect. If the sand paper starts rubbing against any of your protection (tape or bag), give just an extra layer of tape on there so it wont sand through. One thing that was unclear was the top that you see when you first wipe off all the thermal paste is not the GPU die. The die is much like that of the AMD Athlon XP chips, but buried inside this copper core. So don't think you are actually sanding the top of the die itself, but simply, the copper core around it.
Once we start to see the copper around the GPU, you may want to go to the next grit paper. Just change grit to the finer grain per inch once the ring of chrome disappears around the edges, revealing the copper underneath.
After 800 grit
After 800 grit, its optional to continue to a finer finish, but only if you wanted to get the smoothest of surface (mirror lap). Lap just a little more with the 1200, 1500, or even 2000 grit to get the perfect surface. Its time to wrap things up once you start to see the GPU die though (should start seeing a square develop around the copper. I left a small amount of the silver on top so I didn't start sanding away at the die itself!)
After 1200 grit
1500 grit was all that was available for this guide, but it was a good mirror finish on the copper. And to finish our lapping off, cleaning time! Rubbing alcohol is the best way to clean all the residue off. Clean off all you can, then take out the video card and clean it without the protection. I would use a Q-tip and the rubbing alcohol and get around the sides of the GPU where it was hard to get with the bag and tap on there.
After 1500 grit
There you have it, the final result...
After 400 grit
There was no light visible through the strait edge.
Now, let's find out if lapping actually helped anything. Just simply apply the thermal paste, put the heat sink back on, snap it all in, apply some pressure (to ensure contact), and install the card! If you didn't break it, it should boot.
Test Rig
All stability and full load heat testing was done on Unreal Tournament 2003 with all highest settings and 1600X1200 16bit, played for 20-30 min. All temperatures in celsius and rounded to the nearest .5°.
Defiantly a significant drop in the temperature. A 4� drop on both idle and load.
The drop in temps made it much more stable at higher clock frequencies. I didn't try to adjust the ram anymore, since i didn't think the difference would be that great in the heat to the ram.
Again, we see a good drop in temps on the overclocked side of things. 4.5� difference on idle, with 5� difference on load. Conclusion This game with these settings depends HEAVILY on the video card. This is a good example of the gains in FPS on high detail and resolution settings in the real world of overclocking to improve gaming. Not a huge difference, but still, some is better than none! Whether your looking for stability or more clock speed, this is a cheap modification well worth doing (Especially those planning to do a voltage mod to the card). Hope everybody can benefit from this guide...

To the Editor:
Double-crested Cormorants are dark colored, fish eating, non-game birds that are native to South Carolina. When flying, Cormorants can be mistaken for large ducks or geese; when swimming, for American Loons or Anhingas. Cormorants can often be seen flying over or foraging for fish in large bodies of water in South Carolina.
Late in 2013, the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources (SCDNR) announced its plan to authorize and orchestrate the killing of Double-crested Cormorants on Lakes Marion and Moultrie. Soon after the end of the waterfowl hunting season in late January 2014, SCDNR will permit members of the public to shoot these birds. The reason offered by SCDNR for this Cormorant hunt is that they are depleting the stocks of fish in these lakes.
I have been a fisherman throughout my life, and I know how anglers will often blame anything for the fact that they didnt catch fish on a particular day or for the fact that the big one got away. Now, fishermen in the big lakes are blaming these native birds for what they perceive is a decline in the game fishery. Furthermore, these fishermen and the politicians that they have lobbied are pushing SCDNR to allow the killing of Cormorants.
When I requested scientific evidence from SCDNR to justify this proposed hunt, none was provided. I strongly suspect that none exists. Rather, as Ive said, I believe that SCDNR has been pushed and bullied into an unnecessary slaughter of a native non-game bird, by fishermen, fishing guides and a few powerful but misguided politicians.
The South Carolina Department of Natural Resources and its staff have been my valued and trusted partners and colleagues for the entirety of my 40-year conservation career. I have always believed SCDNRs policies and actions to be driven by hard scientific evidence, so the coming unjustified Cormorant killing is totally out of character.
It is my hope that this letter, and other public expressions of concern and disappointment which it may prompt, will cause those involved to abandon this proposed plan to slaughter these harmless native water birds, for what appears to be no biological reason at all.
