WARREN -- Warren City Schools Superintendent Michael Notar hopes to allay fears of students' safety and explain canceling the high school's football game when he speaks at a news conference today.
"Last week was a good week," Notar said Saturday. "After low attendance on Tuesday, the kids came back and all was well.
"Our kids were wonderful," he said.
Police reported heightened tensions in the city last week after two shooting deaths in the city a week apart. Additional police were called in to patrol streets, and additional security was posted in schools.
Taemarr Walker, 24, was fatally shot in a confrontation with Warren police on Oct. 19, reportedly while he was on his way to shoot up a Warren bar.
On Oct. 26, Richard Rollison IV, 24, was fatally wounded at city gas station. Tashawn Walker, 26, of Baytown, Texas, brother of Taemarr Walker, is accused of being the shooter.
Warren G. Harding High School on Friday canceled its final regular season football game following the recommendation of police.
Notar said he wants to address the issues in today's news conference at 2 p.m. in the Board of Education offices, 105 High St. N.E.
The problems are not coming from within the school buildings, he said.
"The kids are safe," Notar said. "Our kids were great."

|Cameo singles chronology
"Word Up!" is a funk and R&B song written and recorded by Cameo in 1986. Due to its heavy play on American dance and R&B radio, as well as music video play on MTV (which has LeVar Burton as a police detective trying to arrest the band), the single became the band's best known hit.
From the album Word Up!, "Word Up!" was Cameo's first US Top 40 hit, peaking at number 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 and spending three weeks at number 1 on the US R&B chart[3] and one week at number 1 on the US Hot Dance Singles chart. In the UK, it spent 10 weeks in the top 40, peaking at number 3 on September 21, 1986. The song was written by Lawrence Ernest Blackmon and Thomas Michael Jenkins.
Besides being a commercial success, the track also earned critical acclaim from several publications. "Word Up!" won Cameo the Soul Train Music Award for Best R&B/Soul Single as well as the NME Award for Best Dance Record. Like the band's previous single "Single Life", "Word Up!" features a sample of the opening notes of Ennio Morricone's theme to The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.

In the 1990s, "Word Up!" was first covered by British rock band Gun,[19] whose version carried a harder, more rock-oriented sound, including a guitar solo. Taken from their album Swagger, it was released on July 1, 1994, and reached number 8 in the UK singles chart.[20] Two versions of the CD single were released in the UK, each carrying different cover art and different tracks.[21]
Gun's version of the song was featured on the soundtrack to 1996 film Barb Wire, and was also used in the CSI: Crime Scene Investigation season one episode "Who Are You?". The Gun version was also featured on the 2011 series of British television show Dancing on Ice, when Vanilla Ice used it as background music for his dance in the first episode.

|Single by Korn
|from the album Greatest Hits, Vol. 1

|Korn singles chronology
"Word Up!" by American nu metal band Korn is a cover of the Cameo song.[34] Its musical arrangements are similar to that of the cover version by Gun, except it is played in a lower sounding 7 string guitar tuning instead of the standard E. "Word Up!" was the first track featured on Korn's 2004 retrospective album, Greatest Hits, Volume 1, and was one of three new tracks along with Pink Floyd's "Another Brick in the Wall" that was exclusive to the album (the "Word Up!" CD single also featured a live performance of the latter).
Background and release[edit]
It was released as the album's first single in July 2004, and received heavy airplay on alternative radio at its time of release, peaking in the top 20 of both Billboard charts,[35] whilst making a respectable impression on the mainstream charts of other countries, including Australia (where it debuted at number 28),[36] and Germany (number 46).[37] It is the only Korn single to be sent out to Top 40 radio stations, notably receiving airplay on New York City's Z-100, the largest Top 40 station in the US. Lead singer Jonathan Davis has said of the band's decision to include the song on their greatest hits, "We've been doing 'Word Up!' for years as a sound-check song—not the full version, just messing around with the riff."[38]
Music video[edit]
The music video for the song, directed by Antti Jokinen, featured the band-members' faces digitally edited onto dogs in a club scene with women dancing topless.
In other media[edit]
The cover was featured in "Credit Where Credit's Due", an episode of the television series Veronica Mars.[39] The track is also featured in the video game Lego Rock Band.

Little Mix version[edit]
|"Word Up!"
|Single by Little Mix
|March 16, 2014
|Larry Blackmon, Tomi Jenkins
|Little Mix singles chronology
British girl group Little Mix covered the song for Sport Relief 2014. It was released digitally on March 16, 2014, followed by a physical release the following day, which was only available to purchase from Sainsbury's.[44]
Background and release[edit]
Little Mix first announced the single on January 16, 2014, through their official Twitter.[44][45] The song was first played on BBC Radio 1 on January 20, 2014, during Nick Grimshaw's Breakfast show.[46]
The cover art of the single was revealed on January 24, 2014.[47]
Critical reception[edit]
The song received rather positive reviews with the Popjustice ranking it as third for the best version of the song and third for the best Sport Relief single and gave the song 7 out of 10 stars.[48] Kevin Kevinpod of DirectLyrics said that "[Little Mix's] harmonies are spot-on, and the whole record is pure fire." and that the song is a chance of the band getting a number one hit.[49] Its production was also likened to Janet Jackson's single "Black Cat."[50]
Music video[edit]
The shooting for the music video started in early February 2014. The band posted an exclusive picture from the video on February 25, 2014.[51] The video was first shown on the Chart Show TV on February 28, 2014[52] and was posted on Vevo on March 3, 2014.[53] It features celebrity cameos from Nick Grimshaw, Louie Spence, Louis Smith, Arlene Phillips, Melanie C and Chris Barrie.[54]
The video starts off with the band in a changing room of a gym. As they walk out of the changing room, Jade tries to pick up a barbell pretending that she cannot lift it but then she lifts it up and walks away carrying it. Perrie then walks along four women who are working out while Jade is on a stationary bicycle among three other women, following the instructions of a trainer. With the bicycle, Jade starts going forward with the rest following her at the back.
The scene then switches to a court with the band exercising and dancing the same time along with other people while singing the chorus of the song. Afterwards, Leigh-Anne is stood in front of some athletes with one using her as a barbell at the end of her part. Jesy continues with her part while dancing in front of two men working out on treadmills and fall off them after some time. During the chorus, the scene changes again to the court with the owner (Barrie, who had previously played a gym manager in BBC sitcom The Brittas Empire) of the gym seeing the girls and the rest dancing and runs upset out of his office. As he is going down to the court, he sees the athletes in the swimming pool shaping out the title of the song. When he reaches the court, he starts dancing with them.

What's in a name? Your future if you're going to be Eric Mabius's second son.
"My wife, [interior designer Ivy Sherman], wants a French name, but I don't know. I'll have to enroll him in karate right away if I give him a French name," the Ugly Betty star tells PEOPLE. "I was thinking Raphael with the p-h spelling. It's a cool name. I guess he'll be a painter or a sculptor or something."
Recently relocated from Los Angeles, Mabius and family are enjoying Manhattan – especially 2-year-old Max, who thinks of it as "an island full of playgrounds," Mabius, 37, says at a launch party for Vertu Signature Collection mobile phones at the Plaza Hotel Thursday.
And now that his costar, Rebecca Romijn, is expecting twin girls, Mabius says he will definitely be taking his children to play with them during the show.
"Oh, all the time," he says. "Max is a hit on set."

Sisters Emma and May-May were all cuddled up recently on the bed. Seeing this photo,
you would never believe these two would fuss.
So this photo and the seasonal airings of "White Christmas," inspired me to abridge the "Sisters" song with Emma and May-May in mind.
Sisters, Sisters
There were never such devoted sisters,
Never had to have a petsitter, no sir,
I'm there to keep my eye on her
Caring, sharing
Every little toy that we are owning
When a certain visitor came to play
She fetched the ball and I sit-stayed
All kinds of weather, we stick together
The same in the rain and sun
Two different breeds, but in tight places
We think and we act as one
Those who've seen us
Know that not a thing could come between us
Many dogs have tried to split us up, but no one can
Lord help the poodle who comes between me and my sister
And lord help the sister, who comes between me and my pug

The Gender Studies minor is an interdisciplinary program designed to help students think critically about the complex relationship between gender and sexuality and the diverse facets of everyday life. The program, coupled with any of the Centenary majors, provides a solid foundation for either graduate school or for a variety of careers.
Students undertaking this minor examine how gender and sexual ideologies, practices, and politics impact their own lives, intimate and family relationships, art and literature, the creation of knowledge, and economic opportunities, as well as large scale social institutions like education, government, and religion. To facilitate this broad examination, Gender Studies minors take classes from a variety of academic disciplines and professors.
In addition to classes, students also develop independent studies that allow them to focus on a gender or sexual issue that they find particularly interesting. For example, students have received credit for independent research on reproductive rights, media images of masculinity/femininity, gender dynamics in literature, and the politics of homosexuality. Students are encouraged to do internship-based research projects that enable them to explore, through direct experience, various topics of interest.

Eighty years ago, the Historic Iao Theater was the epicenter of variety entertainment on Maui. A weekend's worth of shows might include a theatrical performance by the Little Maui Theater (a local actor's troupe which began performing at the Iao in 1928), concert performances that ranged from Hawaiian music to chamber orchestra, plus hula performances happened almost every weekend before the screening of the latest hit film.
Additional novelties included 10-cent raffle tickets that could win you a four-piece place setting of dinnerware. The creator of these novelty nights was William Ledward, manager of the Iao from 1928 to 1935. On opening night, the bill featured two screenings of the romantic comedy, "Sporting Goods," each preceded by a live program.
A "Professor Baklig and his orchestra" as reported by The Maui News in 1928, "presented a program featuring a violin and xylophone solo by the multi-talented Baklig, and Bert Carlson sang his own original composition, 'Maalaea Bay.' " Admission was a quarter. On most evenings, Maui Amusement Company manager, Manuel G. Paschoal, would welcome patrons with a hand shake and a smile. Paschoal offered up a cash prize of $25 (about $300 today) to whomever came up with the best name for the new theater. The Iao was chosen, and the prize money was split between Foster Robinson and Wentworth Kinney, who both entered the same name.

Nine decades removed, and it still doesn't get more eclectic than the mix of poetry, music, comedy, film and burlesque happening over the next few nights at the now-named Historic Iao Theater, each event presented by local independent production companies and nonprofit organizations.
Kicking things off Friday night, in conjunction with the Wailuku First Friday festivities, is "Solo & Together," a benefit for Mana'o Radio and Maui Onstage. Produced and hosted by musician and Mana'o Radio personality Randall Rospond, the concert will showcase many of Maui's finest musicians, both solo and together, offering more than three hours of music, spoken word and comedy.
Performers will include Rospond, Mana'o Radio founder Kathy Collins, Elaine Ryan, Steve Grimes, Tom Conway, Klaus Simmer, Bill Best and Chino LaForge. As First Friday winds down, the concert will conclude with an anything-can-happen jam session finale featuring the Legendary Unknown.
"Be prepared for some very special guests and surprises," says Rospond.
* Catch "Solo & Together" from 5:30 to 9 p.m. Friday. Tickets are $10, available at the door or in advance at the Historic Iao Theater box office or by calling 242-6969.
Body painter, producer and multi-talented performer, Rachel Deboer, will be offering face and body painting under the Iao marquee during this week's Wailuku First Friday festivities, all the while promoting her own extravaganza, "Where in the World Are the UltraViolets?" happening on Saturday at the Historic Iao Theater.
The latter event will feature tassel twirling, sexy striptease moves, flirty song and dance acts, and black light performance art in this never before seen burlesque showcase featuring the Hawaii Superstars of Burlesque, which includes Kit Kat Club Cabaret and the UltraViolets from Maui, plus Oahu's Cherry Blossom Cabaret.
The event will be hosted by Hunter Down, and the production will also serve as a fundraiser for the UltraViolets as they embark on their first west coast tour of the United States and Canada.
The tour is headed to Vancouver, Seattle, Portland, Eugene, San Francisco, Oakland and Las Vegas, then finishing up just outside of Reno at Burning Man, says Deboer.
"I've never done a tour before, so I asked everyone I knew about possible venues, made a lot of cold calls, and created the tour from scratch," she says.
In addition to burlesque, Deboer has been active in body painting for many years, competing twice at the World Body Painting Festival in Austria. In 2008, she took third place in the Semi-Pro Brush and Sponge category, and in 2012 finished fifth in the world with the UltraViolets in the black light category.
So what unites the three troupes?
"It's just a love of performance and a desire to entertain," says Oahu's Violetta Beretta.
"I think it's the variety," added Ellen Peterson of the Kit Kat Club Cabaret. "It's a true variety cabaret, like vaudeville. We all have a different style, but there's also a sisterhood to it all as well. We're more theatrical, rooted in musical theater."
Deboer explained, "We're the most clowny of the three - you could even say ridiculous. Cherry Blossom is the most traditional. They're 1940s style burlesque."
Deboer says their regular fan base can expect something different this time around.
"The format is different," she says. "It's not just one number after the other, and were more integrated now as opposed to three separate sets by each troupe."
"About 80 percent of the numbers in this show are new," adds Peterson.
Both KKCC and CBC will present dance and music from around the world as they search for the UltraViolets.
"We'll be doing several French numbers, very Moulin Rougey," said Peterson. "French Riviera, French pop-music numbers and a surreal French circus act."
CBC, the Honolulu based cabaret, has influences ranging from vaudeville to B-grade horror flicks, film noir and kitsch, but all framed by the traditional art of tease made famous by artists like Lili St. Cir and Gypsy Rose Lee.
"We're showcasing dance from Hawaii, Spain, France and more," says Beretta. Fellow CBC dancer Lola Love will be offering traditional Samba from Brazil. The dancers of Cherry Blossom will also be in performance at the "Hawaii Burlesque Festival" on June 14 at the Honolulu Academy of Art, Doris Duke Theater.
* The Hawaii Superstars of Burlesque will present "Where in the World Are the UltraViolets?" on Saturday at the Historic Iao Theater. Doors open at 7 p.m.; show begins at 7:30 p.m. Ticket prices range from $15 to $40 (plus applicable fees). Reserved seating tickets are available online at www.mauionstage.com or by calling the box office at 242-6969.
On Sunday, the Historic Iao Theater will host the third annual Huliau Youth Environmental Film Festival, featuring 11 student films made by students from 13 Maui schools. Highlights from this year's line up include documentaries on sea turtles, seabirds, and coqui frogs, an animated talking corn debating the pros and cons of GMOs, a fantasy short called "Plastic Girl," a music video and a reality film following the experience of seven Maui teens eating only food from Maui for four days.
* Maui Huliau Foundation presents the Huliau Youth Environmental Film Festival on June 9 at the Historic Iao Theater. Tickets are $10 general, $5 for youth (younger than 18) if purchased in advance or $15 at the door. Doors will open at 6:30 p.m.; screenings begin at 7 p.m.. Advance tickets are available online at www.huliaufoundation.org or at Native Intelligence in Wailuku.
Finally, on Monday, slam poetry returns to the Historic Iao Theater with "Maui Slammers United," hosted by Shawn Naone-Burger. This event will be in conjunction with Maui OnStage's monthly free theater series, and admission is free. The evening of spoken word artistry and poetry will feature poets of all ages, but may not be appropriate for children. The readers for the Monday night Slam have been pre-set, but if you arrive early, there may be room to add additional poets to the line up. The free ONO! performances are 6:30 p.m. every second Monday of the month at the Historic Iao Theater.
Catch "The Cotton Club Musical Revue," written and directed by Ayin Adams and Gwyn Gorg at the Historic Iao Theater. The most famous nightclub during the 1920s and 1930s returns for a night of entertainment, pupu, music and fun on June 15.
Performers will include Ayin Adams, Nara Boone, Kelly Covington, Rob Digman, Jayna Fleming, Sal Godinez, Galyn Gorg, Gentry Gorg, Gwyn Gorg, Sunny Gorg, Sandra Shawhan and Randall Gray, the Gene Argel Band and Bobby Ingram.
* Reserved seating tickets are $30 (plus applicable fees). For tickets or more information, call 242-6969 or purchase reserved seats at wwmauionstage.com. Pre- and post-show cocktails and dining are available next door at Old Wailuku Grill. For dinner reservations, call 986-0444.

Longtime newspaper executive Taylor Lee Gillespie, formerly of Amarillo, died Thursday, Nov. 8, 2001. He was 56.
Memorial services will be at 10 a.m. Monday at Isle of Faith United Methodist Church, 1821 S. San Pablo Road, in Jacksonville, Fla. The Rev. Ray Guy of Weirsdale, Fla., and the Rev. George Guy of Amarillo, will officiate. Lt. Aaron Martin of Fort Knox, Ky., will give the scripture reading.
Mr. Gillespie worked for 27 years at the Amarillo Globe-News before transferring to the Florida Times-Union in Jacksonville eight years ago. In Jacksonville, he was advertising scheduling manager for the newspaper.
Born in Lubbock on April 2, 1945, Mr. Gillespie became a football star. He attended Southwestern State College in Weatherford, Okla., on an athletic scholarship.
"He had legs like tree trunks," said Mike Begue, the Times-Union's advertising services manager and Mr. Gillespie's boss in Jacksonville about 30 years later. "He was a great lineman."
An illness forced an end to his college football career, so he returned to Amarillo. He graduated with a bachelor's of business administration degree from West Texas State University.
His first job at the Globe-News was advertising copy runner. He became the paper's national advertising manager in 1991.
Mr. Gillespie married his wife, Sandie, in 1968. In addition to being involved with his family and career, he was active in the community.
"He was a quiet gentlemen, both professionally and personally," said Bryce Cockerham, former advertising director for the Amarillo Globe-News. "He got a lot done."
In Amarillo, Mr. Gillespie helped found The Bridge-Children's Advocacy Center for abused children.
"He was in at the beginning. He went to Huntsville, Ala., where the first advocacy center ever was," said Gil Farren, victim assistance coordinator for Randall County and former executive director of The Bridge.
Farren remembered Mr. Gillespie's contributions on both personal and professional levels.
"Not only was Taylor a neighbor of mine, he was the one who got me hired at The Bridge," Farren said. "He was there for the difficult times and worked like a Trojan."
Mr. Gillespie served in many capacities to aid those in need.
"He was on the board of directors, went to conferences, gave day-to-day help and worked to get advocacy centers across the state," Farren said.
He was named a Citizen of the Year by the National Association of Social Workers in 1990. He was a member of the Rotary Club of Amarillo.
He was a member of the Polk Street United Methodist Church. He was past president of the American Cancer Society and was on the board of directors of the National Child Abuse Prevention Coalition.
When he moved to Florida, he found new opportunities.
"It was like a whole new life for him," said his daughter Kristin Parton. "He loved being around the trees, the beach, the weather. It was like his paradise."
He became a devoted fan of the Jacksonville Jaguars, joining the Jacksonville Jaguars booster club.
Times-Union Publisher Carl Cannon, former publisher of the Amarillo Globe-News, called Mr. Gillespie an asset and a friend.
"He has been a valuable employee and will be missed by many friends from Texas and Florida," Cannon said.
Mr. Gillespie was preceded in death by his parents, Elvan and Lois Gillespie.
Survivors include two daughters, Kristin Parton of Amarillo and her husband Jeffrey, and Kimberley Gillespie of Jacksonville; a brother, Ron Gillespie of Amarillo; four sisters, Leticia Goodrich, Debbie Dougan and Donna Skrabits, all of Amarillo, and Gloria Selby of Houston; and twin grandsons, Spencer and Taylor Parton, both of Amarillo.
Memorials should be sent to The Bridge-Children's Advocacy Center, 1419 S. Polk St., Amarillo, TX 79101.

Two If by Sea
Elite residences celebrate the stone and native vegetation of Chile's sea cliffs.
By Jimena Martignoni
With a Pacific coastline stretching for 2,700 miles along its western edge and an average distance of only 110 miles across, Chile is a country dominated by a marine landscape. Sea and cliffs, characteristic of most Chilean beach towns, are also the signature features of the country's affluent resort communities.
Two such towns on Chile's central coast have gracefully integrated existing landscape, architecture, and gardens. Zapallar, located 93 miles north of the capital of Santiago, is one of the most desirable seaside locations in the country; the village of Bahia Azul, 40 miles farther north, is enclosed by a dramatic rocky landscape. In both communities, large private summerhouses dot the ocean-facing cliffs.
Juan Grimm is a Chilean architect and landscape architect who has focused on residential projects for 20 years. He works also in Uruguay and Argentina, but it's in Chile where most of his projects are located. By applying a personal design vocabulary that draws on natural elements and interactions, Grimm roots his designs in three main ideas: the preservation of the native flora and the re-creation of the original landscapes around the houses; the passage of time, based on a deep knowledge of seasonal color and bloom; and the incorporation of the surrounding landscapes into the design through carefully planned vistas.

Rice Festival applies new technology
By: Howell Dennis
CROWLEY - In past year's the International Rice Festival pamphlet which listed the schedule of bands, contests and events was a must-have for all those in attendance. This year, however, it seems that technology has taken things a step further to make things much more efficient for festival goers.
An application is now available as a free download to those who own iPhones. Upon viewing the conveniences that the application provides at the International Rice Festival Office Thursday morning, one could not help but be impressed.
The new application has a GPS to let people know their exact location, the schedule and location of such annual events as the Accordion and Fiddle Contest and the Poker Run, the schedule and stage of the musical performances including biographies on each performer, as well as the precise location that each of the foods the festival is famous for are being served. For example, if a person is hungry for fried alligator simply run a search on it and it will tell which booth is serving it. All of the booths this year will have their allotted number prominently displayed on top.
"I was at Festival International in Lafayette this year and they had a similar system," said International Rice Festival Coordinator Roxie Viator. "They also used the system at the Jazz Festival in New Orleans."
"I realized that these festivals are by no means bigger than the Rice Festival (the largest agricultural festival in Louisiana) so we decided to have one in place for this year."
The free application can be downloaded simply by going to the Apple Application on the touchpad of an iPhone. Search for International Rice Festival and download it from there.
The man who designed the application is Rice Festival Webmaster Mike Dubois.
"We believe it will make things much more simple for our guests this year," said Williams.
Also on Thursday, tickets for the annual International Queen's Ball went on sale. The tickets for the Saturday evening event are $15 and can be purchased at the International Rice Festival Headquarters at 110 E. 4th St. in Crowley.

These are fantastic! Wish I was anywhere near Manhattan to see it.
Max Warsh's Cement Deconstructions
toomer labzda's latest exhibition's a good one. This month, Max Warsh presents his first solo show in New York, entitled, Bilder, exploring the relationship between architectural facades, repetition and collage.
Through a process of collecting, cutting and rebuilding, bold painted shapes mirror the menagerie of cement one encounters when navigating a city.
Each frame is congestive, though solid paths add thoughtful relief, leading us through individualized mazes of texture.
The sculptural and monochromatic depth is an interesting compliment to the 2D and 3D synergy.
If you're in lower Manhattan we recommend a visit, as you'll find yourself standing below motionless conveyor belts, wondering how you play a part in the magnificent heaviness of the surrounding city.

Inspirational Life Quotes – Innocence Of A Child
"A child has no ego, no past or future. The child has no attachments, and because of this, he is able to express himself fully, without any prejudices or preconceived ideas."
There's nothing sadder in this world than to awake Christmas morning and not be a child.
Children lose their innocence the very moment they are forced to make excuses for their parent's bad behavior.
Every life is a march from innocence, through temptation, to virtue or vice.
Children are innocent and love justice, while most adults are wicked and prefer mercy.
The great challenge of adulthood is holding on to your idealism after you lose your innocence
No one has yet realized the wealth of sympathy, the kindness and generosity hidden in the soul of a child. The effort of every true education should be to unlock that treasure.
Live so that when your children think of fairness and integrity, they think of you.

The feral hog isn't about to go away. The population will continue to grow — whether or not they are hunted and trapped. Problems like the recent homeowners' damage in West Ashley can be expected to get worse.
DNR to offer tools to fight nuisances
The nuisance numbers of feral hogs and coyotes are growing, and state wildlife officers are responding by going to the well: landowners.
A voluntary training program is scheduled to kick off in January giving property owners "better tools and better information" to improve trapping and taking techniques, said Alvin Taylor, S.C. Department of Natural Resources director. Details are still being worked out and will be made available on the department website, www.dnr.sc.gov.
By targeting the people managing the largest tracts where most of the animals are found, wildlife officers think they can get the best bang for the buck keeping the numbers under control, particularly of the prolific-breeding hogs.
"The bottom line is DNR does not have enough staff or resources to eliminate hogs," said Sam Chappellear, DNR resources regional wildlife coordinator. Managing them "is going to take a lot of effort. At the end of the day, it's going to come down to the landowner."
Bo Petersen
Land managers and others worry about eventually having to deal with a Texas-size problem. The 2 million-or-more hog population in that state is considered to be 10 times larger than it was 30 years ago, according to the Houston Chronicle, even though the state virtually declared war on them 20 years ago with some of the most aggressive "taking" policies in the nation, and hundreds of thousands of the animals are killed each year.
"We're looking at all the avenues we can," said Steve Lightfoot, of Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. But, "as one wildlife biologist put it, a feral hog is the only animal that will have a litter of 12 and 13 will survive."
The S.C. Department of Natural Resources has lifted nearly all restraints on shooting or trapping the animals, but they are so prolific that no one really expects to stop the population from growing, much less to reduce its numbers.
Feral hogs that recently have been rooting up lawns in Village Green off Ashley River Road are the latest among any number of incidents where the tusked foragers have caused problems in suburbs that back up to wetland woods.
There's no firm estimate of the population in the state, but the hogs have been reported mostly along river basins in all 46 counties in the state.
In 2012, 26,674 feral pigs were reported killed by deer hunters alone — 3,115 in Berkeley, Charleston and Dorchester counties. It hasn't made much of a difference. A single female can produce as many as 30 piglets per year.
"I think we do have a real concern" about the population exploding, said Alvin Taylor, DNR director.
The pigs overrun vegetation and plantings, and run out other game in places where their numbers get too big.
South Carolina laws allow them to be shot freely, or shot with a permit at night where local laws don't disallow it.
"I think we are one of the least-restricted states for taking these hogs right now," Taylor said.
Texas has a program allowing the hogs to be captured and sold to processor "buying pens," making the meat a marketable wild game like bison. Charles Howard, a DNR advisory board member, has pushed the "buying pens" idea to help get the number of hogs here under control, and the DNR board has looked at it, Taylor said.
But the Texas program has had to be very tightly regulated to control disease spreading to domestic pig farms and to keep people from bringing pigs from other states for the profit.
For all of the cost involved, it hasn't made a dent in the numbers, Taylor said.
The hog problem in South Carolina, in fact, evidently has been spurred by people illegally moving hogs from one place to another in order to hunt them. They have been found in coastal swamps since the first free-ranging pigs got away from colonial farmers.
But that population mostly stayed to the more remote river basins and didn't get out of hand, said Sam Chappellear, DNR regional wildlife coordinator. In recent years, hogs began turning up in midstate counties where they had not been seen before in modern times.
"Those hogs didn't make it from the mountains to the coast by walking. They came by trailer or truck," Chappellear said. "Now you've opened up a can of worms and you can't put the top back on it."

A bill allowing some teachers to carry guns in Oklahoma classrooms passed the House late Tuesday night.
House Bill 1622, by state Rep. Sally Kern, was approved by a 12-0 vote in the House Public Safety Committee and passed the House 87-4.
Districts would be given the option to pay for specialized training for teachers. After the training, teachers could carry a firearm into school.
"The bill would allow private schools to set a policy for an armed guard in order to protect students and themselves if an active shooter were to come on campus," said Kern. "Or they could allow teachers to carry a firearm. The point, though, is that it would be up to them. Private schools are private entities and the state has no business telling them who can and cannot carry a firearm on their property.
The bill now goes to the Senate.

Brewery Vivant / New Belgium Escoffier
RATINGS: 93 WEIGHTED AVG: 3.55/5 SEASONAL: Special EST. CALORIES: 278 ABV: 9.25%
Escoffier is our much heralded collaboration with New Belgium Brewing in Ft. Collins, CO. Coinciding with their entry into Michigan in August 2012, this project began with a friendly meeting at our pub. After a few beers and some food, the idea to brew a beer together started to take shape. Surprise!
Auguste Escoffier is considered the master chef of the 20th century. His ideas and methods left an indellible imprint on the culinary world, and are still in use to this very day. We named our beer Escoffier to celebrate the relationship between great food and excellent beer, and how they elevate each other when enjoyed together. If youve ever visited our pub, this is the cornerstone of what we try to accomplish.
Will we make it again? Only the ghost of old Escoffier knows.

How to Order Single Remedies?
by Domenick J Masiello, DO, DHt
The purpose of Flu Guide is to provide the
homeopathic practitioner with some treatment options during cold and flu
season. Many times the initial presenting symptoms are not distinctive
enough to lead to a confident prescription and knowing what remedies have
been effective for the most recent winter infections is always welcomed
during this busy time of year.
Collecting this type of information goes back to
Hahnemann himself. In addition to acute and chronic diseases, he also wrote
about epidemic diseases. In paragraphs 101 and 102 of The Organon he notes
that regardless of the name of the disease, if a physician made a careful
study of the essential features of an epidemic disease, especially those
features unique to that specific epidemic disease, then a cure could be
found. After treating a number of cases successfully, a specific remedy for
the specific epidemic would be known. This remedy could then be used to
treat others afflicted by the same disease.
This was not theoretical for Hahnemann. He
successfully treated an epidemic of scarlet fever with Belladonna and after
receiving a letter from his grandnephew, a physician in St. Petersburg; he
predicted which remedies would be needed during an epidemic of Asiatic
James Tyler Kent, in chapter three of his
Lectures on Homeopathic Philosophy, restates Hahnemann's teaching on the
nature and treatment of epidemic diseases. Kent also asserted that a careful
physician will be able to develop an image or schema of the epidemic disease
and know which remedy to give - even if a particular patient does not
exhibit all of the symptoms of that schema.
Eventually, this concept of the emerging remedy
picture during an epidemic became known as the genus epidemicus. We find
mention of this term in the Mercurius cyanatus Chapter of H.C. Allen's,
Keynotes and Characteristics with Comparisons. In Constantine Hering's
Guiding Symptoms, it can be found in the Colcichum autumnale chapter.
Likewise, E.B. Nash makes use of it when discussing an epidemic of
diphtheria in the Apis chapter of his Testimony of the Clinic.
Think of the word "epidemic" and it conjures up
images of starving children in a third world country and while this is
certainly true it also includes infectious diseases which are
common, widespread, and right here at home.
Every autumn we are beset by epidemics of viral
respiratory and gastrointestinal illness. Coming quickly on the heels of
these by about January, is influenza. This guide is dedicated to making the
life of the homeopath easier during these seasons.
For the purposes of this guide I will only
include information that is well tested. This means that syndromes and their
corresponding remedies will only be listed if at least six cured cases have
been recorded. In the early weeks of cold and flu season I call patients and
see if they have responded to the epidemicus remedy. One may ask how
accurate are results from a homeopath in New York City in relation to a
practice say, in California or Florida or Canada? I have found over the past
22 years that they are amazingly so. This may be due to the fact that New
York City is a global community. It is one of the most ethnically, racially
and economically diverse places in the world. People travel to, from and
through New York all the time and these days airplane travel is the number
one vector for respiratory viruses. Over the years I have prescribed for
family in the near East and Asia with great success. It may in fact be that
epidemics are actually seasonally changing fields of energy that make some
of us susceptible to these viruses such that the epidemic is from the very
onset, a global one.
In addition to colds and flu, I will
occasionally comment on health issues that are currently important news
items. If there is a homeopathic alternative for a condition or if there is
a homeopathic slant on an issue, I'll include it. Keep in mind, of course,
that there is always a time lag between the first appearance of a condition

China is selling some of its U.S. Treasury bonds.
Although the amount that China sold was small, it was a signal to Washington that Beijing is concerned about the future of the dollar, Agence France Presse reported.
"China is implying to the U.S. more or less, that it should adopt a more pragmatic and responsible attitude to maintain the stability of the dollar," He Maochun, a political scientist at Tsinghua University, told the Global Times.
Many analysts have warned that heavy spending in Washington could lead to inflation, and a decline in the value of the dollar.

Researchers study sediments to help determine estuary health
STUART ? A group of researchers from The School for Marine Science and Technology at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth have been out this week collecting and analyzing sediment samples in the St. Lucie River Estuary for the South Florida Water Management District.
The project is part of a two-year contract with the university to measure the nutrient load from the bottom sediments of the St. Lucie and Caloosahatchee estuaries.
"What's going on is that the water management district has been trying to work on ways to improve water quality in the St. Lucie River," said Brian Howes, a professor at The School for Marine Science and Technology. "And the problem with that is it's a very complex system, a very large system and in order to fix something you have to know exactly what's wrong."
Researchers collected 50 sediment cores, a layer of sediment and a layer of water column in each core from the St. Lucie River down to the St. Lucie Inlet for the study. Next week, they will do the same for the Caloosahatchee River.
The samples from both estuaries will then be analyzed at the university, and the data sent back to the water district.
"This is a big beautiful estuary and nobody wants to see it impaired," Howes said. "Estuaries around the world and throughout the U.S. are impaired and they are trying to repair them."
St. Lucie Marine in Stuart has been donating an area of its facility for the project by hosting the researchers this past week.
"I think it's fabulous," said Mary Radabaugh, manager of St. Lucie Marine, "I think anything that we do to make it one step closer to resolving the problem with the river is a wonderful thing,"

Applewhites at Wit's Endby Stephanie S. Tolan
Jake Semple and E.D. Applewhite are back, this time facing a financial meltdown E.D.'s father has called "the end of the world!" Famously creative Randolph Applewhite hatches a plan to save the family from poverty and starvation: They will turn the sixteen acres of their family compound, Wit's End, into Eureka!, a summer camp for creative children. The plan will demand the all-out efforts of the whole family, including Jake, who has managed to survive his first year in their home school. The whole thing seems like a good idea . . . . . . until-in the midst of the ordinary chaos of temperamental artists; talented, intense, headstrong campers; a dead possum; and rampaging goats-anonymous, threatening notes begin mysteriously appearing in the Applewhites' roadside mailbox. Can E.D., Jake, and the Eureka! campers prevent a head-on collision with disaster? In this hilarious, masterful sequel to Stephanie S. Tolan's Newbery Honor Book, Surviving the Applewhites, the Applewhite family returns, more outrageous than ever.

HOLLAND TOWNSHIP — Giavanni Grimaldo normally rides the bus to Harbor Lights Middle School from his grandmother's home, but this morning he hopped on his bicycle for the trek.
The 11-year-old sixth grade student never made it.

Fischer: You Either Stand With Carl Paladino or You Are a "Nancy-Boy"
Over the weekend New York Republican gubernatorial candidate Carl Paladino made news by teaming up with radical anti-gay activist Yehuda Levin and delivering an anti-gay diatribe.
So, naturally, Bryan Fischer immediately came running to his defense:
Everything - every single thing - that Paladino said about the homosexual lifestyle yesterday was dead on the money. What he said is so true and so evident and so obvious that the real controversy here is that there is any controversy at all.
The fact that homosexual activists will now bare their fangs, veritably dripping saliva as they go for Paladino's carotid artery, and will do so with the full-throated blessing of the out-of-the-mainstream media, only illustrates the enormously dangerous clout these purveyors of perversity have been given in our culture.
There frankly is no other kind of homosexual than the dysfunctional kind. Homosexuals are dysfunctional by the very nature of the aberrant sexual conduct in which they engage. As the Roman Catholic Church correctly says, homosexual behavior is "intrinsically disordered."
It is so contrary to nature, so self-destructive, that it is no surprise that homosexuals have much higher rates of suicide (tragically illustrated a number of times in recent weeks), suicidal thoughts, drug abuse, mental illness, and sexually-transmitted diseases than the population as a whole. The rates of domestic abuse in same-sex relationships is two to four times that found in the straight population.
There is a notorious obsession with sex in the homosexual community, where monogamy is virtually non-existent and many homosexuals report hundreds and even thousands of sexual partners over the course of a lifetime. Anonymous sex with total strangers is a routine part of the homosexual lifestyle, sex in bathhouses, public bathrooms, and the bushes in public parks ... If anything, Paladino understated the case against making endorsement of homosexual conduct a part of public policy and a part of public school curricula.
Fischer concludes by making Paladino's remarks the new standard for determining whether someone truly holds pro-family views and I , for one, wholeheartedly support Fischer's demand that the media insist that all conservative candidates go on the record as to where they stand:
I frankly hope the Ministers of Propaganda at places like the networks, the Associated Press, the New York Times, and the Washington Post start pinning down other pro-family candidates on what they think of Mr. Paladino's remarks. It's time for pro-family candidates to put up or shut up. You're either with Carl Paladino or you're with them. We need to know where you stand. Do you have the backbone of Mr. Paladino, or are you a nancy-boy who will try to finesse this issue or dodge it altogether? Inquiring minds want to know.

TRENTON — New Jersey motorists who need to renew licenses or registrations can again do so on Mondays.
The state's 39 Motor Vehicle Commission agencies will open after officials reversed a decision last summer to close on Mondays to save money. The decision resulted in longer lines and waiting times.
The agencies will be open between 8 a.m. and 5.30 p.m. weekdays and until 7:30 p.m. on Tuesdays.
On Saturdays, the offices will operate from 8 a.m. until 1 p.m.
