March home sales in the Charleston area broke through the four-figure mark for the first time in five years last month, though the early jump in spring activity is expected to taper off.
March home sales by county
CHARLESTON COUNTY635 sales at a median price of $245,037. Of those, 210 sales were in Mount Pleasant. West Ashley outside I-526 was the next-most-active area.BERKELEY COUNTY191 homes sold at a median price of $166,400. The area bordered by Jedburg Road, Highway 17A and College Park Road was the most active.DORCHESTER COUNTY184 homes sold at a median price of $162,500. The Summerville/Ladson area was the most active.Charleston Trident Association of Realtors
The Charleston Trident Association of Realtors said Wednesday that 1,045 homes sold at a median price of $202,210 in March. The last time sales for that month exceeded 1,000 was in 2007, the group said in a preliminary report.
Owen Tyler, the association's president, said it was "unusual to see this many closed transactions" so early in the busy spring home-buying season. He pinned the growth in part on investor buyers.
"While we do expect sales levels to remain higher than they were in previous years, we do not expect sales to sustain at this level through the spring," Tyler said.
He added that it is more common to see home sales above the 1,000 mark in the later part of the spring and in summer. The last time they hit that level was in May, June and August of 2012.
For the first quarter, 2,424 homes have sold in the region, a 16 percent increase in sales volume compared to first three months of 2012. The median price of $182,500 is up 1.5 percent from the same quarter a year ago.
The local housing market is getting help from low mortgage rates and lower home prices compared with past years, though both are edging higher. Local job growth also is giving sales a lift.
Much of the activity remains concentrated in Charleston County, which had 635 sales in March, or more than half of the total. Its hottest markets continue to be Mount Pleasant and West Ashley, according to the association.
Real estate inventory also is declining. As of Wednesday, 5,745 homes were for sale in the Charleston Trident Multiple Listing Service database, about 1,000 less a year ago. Strong demand and low inventory have prompted repeated situations in which buyers find multiple offers on homes, according to area agents. Corwyn Melette, broker-in-charge of Corwyn Melette and Associates, said he is consistently running into that situation.
"There's a lot activity, but the inventory does not match up, which makes things very competitive," Melette said. "I recently had one buyer who got beat out on two homes in a single day."
Melette, who largely concentrates on homes in North Charleston and Summerville, has advised clients to move fast if they can.
"Nothing is staying on the market now, not even rentals," Melette said.
Also, the association revised its February figures slightly higher to reflect 732 sales and a median price of $181,750.

HATTIESBURG — According to his numbers, Tracy Lampley is going to contribute about 100 yards per game every time he steps onto a football field for the University of Southern Mississippi.
Those yards might come offensively, taking a handoff for a rush or snaring a pass for a reception. They might come in the return game, by way of kickoff or punt.
To Lampley, one of the greatest playmakers in Golden Eagles history, it doesn't matter how the ball finds its way into his possession.
"It's all about the team, and if I can get the ball in my hands, I can make a play for the team," Lampley said. "It's not about any one individual, and that's what I try to tell my teammates.
"No matter what the coaches say about wanting to get me the ball as much as they can, I'm also telling those guys to work hard, because I'm going to work hard and try and get you guys open, pull some guys with me. If we can do that, we win as a team."
And, as USM (0-1) prepares for Saturday's home and Conference USA opener with East Carolina (1-1), Golden Eagle coaches have been stressing to Lampley the importance of doing both, of playing hard every snap, with or without the ball.
"Some of it, he's got to get open," USM coach Ellis Johnson. "And, you've got to play without the ball in your hands as well as with the ball in your hands. There's plenty of things in there, where he may not be the primary receiver, but he's certainly one of the primary reads in the progression."
Lampley, a 5-foot-9, 168-pound senior from Waynesboro, said he understood what the coaches were saying.
"Coach tells me a lot to play without the ball because a lot of defenses have their attention on me," Lampley said. "So, if I run across the field, full speed, and the running play is coming back behind me, I got the whole defense with me.
"(Coaches) just want me to be full-speed, running to the ball, and that kind of good stuff, to pull the defense to me, and I have to do a better job of that."
Lampley only had three touches in USM's 49-20 loss at then-No. 17 Nebraska on Sept. 1, including two receptions for 27 yards.
The other touch was all the evidence needed why USM wants the ball in his hands.
After Nebraska scored to take a 14-0 lead, Lampley took the kickoff 2 yards deep in the end zone, zoomed through a crease in the middle, outran the angle that the last, potential tackler tried to take on him and was off on what officially would go down as a 100-yard return.
"Tracy Lampley is a difference maker," ECU coach Ruffin McNeill said.
— Lampley is the lone Golden Eagle in the program's history to score a touchdown four different ways in a single season (2009): rushing; receiving; punt return; kick return.
— In the Conference USA championship game last December in Houston, Lampley logged his third 100-yard receiving game of the season, with six catches for a career-high 125 yards. He finished with 240 all-purpose yards as the Golden Eagles pummeled the Cougars to win their fifth conference crown.
— With 3,879 all-purpose yards, Lampley needs just six more Saturday to move past former standout receiver Sherrod Gideon and into fifth place on USM's all-time list.
But with all he's done — including 13 career touchdowns — it's what he could accomplish before season's end that would cement his place in Golden Eagle annals.
Lampley has moved within striking distance of becoming the first player in school history to reach the 1,000-yard plateau in four all-purpose categories. He's already reached the mark on kickoff returns, bringing his total to 1,189 yards with his dart and dash against Nebraska.
Lampley also is closing in on:
— Rushing yards. With 969 yards he needs 31 more.
— Receiving yards. With 905 yards, he needs 95 more.
— Punt return yards. With 816 yards, he needs 184 more.
Johnson said Lampley's chances in those categories could be bolstered by a sterner USM defense.
"Every game, we may have a new play or wrinkle that may involve him," Johnson said "We've got enough ways for him to touch the ball; and we've got to get the ball to him more often. We've got to have more snaps. We've got to have more stops; "We've got to get him more punt returns. So, how do you do that? Make people punt more. That way, he'll touch the ball more."
USM offensive coordinator Steve Buckley said Lampley was the primary target on three occasions in man coverage against the Cornhuskers, but "he just didn't win" the battle to get open.
"But, yes, we've got to get Lampley the ball, and yes, we will do some things this week to get him the ball, creatively," Buckley said. "Hopefully."

SOUTH FAYETTE TOWNSHIP, Pa. — A Pennsylvania man is accused of murdering his wife and torching their home following a dispute over an NHL playoff game between the Pittsburgh Penguins and Ottawa Senators Thursday night.
WPXI in South Fayette, Pa., reported Friday that — according to investigators — Robert Abrams stabbed his wife and beat her with a hammer. She was apparently angry because her husband insisted on staying up late to watch the Penguins and Senators battle it out in a triple overtime thriller, won by the Senators 4-3.
"She had 10 episodes of blunt force trauma to the head resulting in multiple skull fractures," medical examiner Dr. Carl Williams told the Pittsburgh-area news station. "In addition, she had at least four stab wounds to the chest."
The man attempted to cover the incident up, WPXI reported, telling witnesses that the family dog may have knocked over a candle. Abrams reportedly told witnesses that he jumped from a window to escape the flames.
He is charged with criminal homicide, arson and abuse of a human corpse.
Yikes. Hopefully the Pennsylvania justice system is more impartial than the referees calling the Senators/Penguins series.
More Photoshops!!!
Big thanks to Chris, Tom and Marco for their Photoshopping skills. Here are some other submissions from Marco and Scott:

By Kevin Davies
September 15, 2009 | Earlier this year, Pacific Biosciences founder and CTO Stephen Turner ran an animation of a real-time single-molecule sequence trace as a crawl at the foot of his slides for the duration of his talk, demonstrating not merely the impressive length of DNA reads the company could generate, but also its slightly hypnotic quality. "I do hope that some of you will watch the rest of the talk," Turner said.
The cute animation was devised by a member of Scott Helgesen's software group at PacBio, which is not surprising. A decade ago, Helgesen and Brad Carvey composed the opening dragonfly CGI sequence for Men in Black, before Helgesen traded New Mexico for New England and a job with 454 Life Sciences.
Helgesen is now part of the software team, headed by VP Kevin Corcoran, that PacBio is depending on to handle the data from PacBio's single-molecule sequencer next year. The third-generation sequencing system eavesdrops on a grid of DNA polymerase enzymes, tethered to the bottom of nanoscopic wells, as they synthesize DNA strands in real time. As each fluorescently tagged base is snared by the polymerase prior to being incorporated in the new DNA strand, its signal is detected (see "PacBio Sparks Florida Fireworks," Bio•IT World, Mar 2008). The method is dubbed single molecule, real time (SMRT).
The vital job of capturing that information and producing the informatics pipeline that converts those signals into pure sequence falls to Corcoran, who together with Helgesen, has ties with almost every competitor in the market. Corcoran formerly ran the sequencing business for Applied Biosystems (AB), and was involved in AB's due diligence of its own next-gen sequencing acquisition, Agencourt Personal Genomics. He was previously the CEO of Lynx, which merged with Solexa in 2004, two years before Illumina acquired the new entity. Helgesen, director of software engineering, primary analysis and simulation, spearheaded software development at 454 for several years, until leaving in 2006, just as the first Genome Sequencer was released.
Real Time AnalysisPacBio has a fairly large instrumentation software group that writes hard-core firmware and builds real-time operating systems. Once acquired, the data are passed onto Helgesen's group, which handles the primary analysis—image processing, signal processing, base calling and quality value assignments. From there, the sequence data are subjected to secondary analysis, including consensus calls and assembly.
"The biggest challenge is real-time processing of the data," says Helgesen. "The data rates—the amount of data that comes flooding from the sensors—are really high compared to 454, much higher because we're looking at real-time events." Unlike at 454, where Helgesen used a CCD camera to integrate photons over time and under his control, "Now, we're not in charge of the events happening—the molecules just do their thing and we have to watch them."
One of Helgesen's passions at 454 was the use of FPGA (field programmable gate array) technology. He's circumspect on whether he sees a niche for the hybrid computing solution, but Corcoran says: "We'll either go down the FPGA route or some of these other alternatives. Graphics GPUs are becoming very affordable and more easily programmable."
For the prototype research instrument, which measures 3,000 DNA polymerase enzymes running in parallel, the software team has to capture the data in real time but doesn't need to process in real time. When the commercial instrument launches in 2010, however, "the spec for the production system for shipping is capture in real time and process in real time, to keep the throughput going," Helgesen says.
Helgesen says the processing throughput trade-off is the length of each DNA fragment and the numbers of parallel fragments going on simultaneously. The scheme is scalable, which is neat. "The big issue is the data are coming in so fast, you don't have time to store it to disc. You cannot capture the original raw signal data, so you have to process that—first-level data reduction in real time. Even when I interviewed here and heard the number, I was like, 'Man…!'"
Handling that problem is a concerted IT strategy, involving computers with internal blades, data reduction strategies, algorithm optimization, and more.
Reads and Errors
Late last year, PacBio published examples of its first single-molecule sequencing results in a paper in Science. The single-read errors were on the order of 15-20%, but those data were generated almost 12 months ago. "The interesting thing about single-molecule sequencing is that errors are random verses systematic," says Corcoran. "In Sanger reads, the errors start to get worse the farther you go out. We don't see that phenomenon."
Another benefit of PacBio's approach is molecular consensus. By circularizing the DNA template into a so-called SMRTBell, the polymerase could figuratively "take a couple of laps around the circular molecule, [so] you get phenomenal consensus accuracy of one particular molecule." Turner reported individual reads of several thousand bases earlier this year.
Corcoran says a priority is to drive up the raw accuracy rates as high as possible. The consensus sequencing mode would by definition reduce throughput, but provide additional fidelity when searching for rare mutations. "In Scott's pipeline, he has huge amounts of raw movies," says Corcoran. "He has to identify where all the pulses are, assign a base to that pulse in real time, and then, if it's a molecular consensus run, assign a consensus value to that particular read."
As for the sequence traces themselves, Corcoran says customers will have the option of saving them, "but they'll have to be saved off onto some system they provide. We'll stream them off the instrument in real time as we're processing." More likely, they will go down a level and save the base calls and associated confidence values.
I asked Helgesen how PacBio compared to the nostalgic days at 454? "It's definitely more challenging." At PacBio, Helgesen has a team that is "really strong on simulation, figuring out everything beforehand." "The best thing about Scott," adds Corcoran, "is that I was explaining what I was looking for, [and] he instantaneously knew what all my problems were!"

I don't criticize the practice of carrying a baby. I believe it is a loving, gentle way to keep the baby nearby. But I think the term 'babywearing' demeans babies, and although YOU understand what you are saying, you are helping to encourage a negative perception of infants in society by blindly accepting the word. Language is a powerful thing. I'm not asking you to waste your time, just to maybe give the word you are using a bit of thought. I realize that it is inconvenient for you, considering it is the name of your site. I most definitely do not look for things to be offended about!

It's a positive and loving practice, and it sounds like anyone that is going to have a problem with the term babywearing is clearly missing the point and just looking for things to be offended about. I don't wish to put my time and energy toward that nonsense.

Since we know that infants are human beings, why would we use a term that objectifies them? We know that babies are not articles of clothing, and yet this term has become widely accepted.

Bob just got a bird. Now Bob needs a bird cage. So Bob goes to his local pet store and — whoa! —Bob's jaw drops. The price tag lists triple digits that are more than what Bob paid for his bird. Bob notices that the smaller bird cages are lower in price, so Bob starts thinking, "Well, perhaps I can get away with a smaller cage." Bob's eyes zero in on the price tag first, then they zoom out to see what type of cage the price tag comes with. The prices keep dropping, but what Bob fails to notice is that he's now looking at what many bird owners would consider a sleep cage or a travel cage.
Stubborn Bob is determined to save on the cage, so he buys one designed to house a smaller bird species. He sets it up on his corner table and tries to introduce his bird to it. His bird's body is almost the size of the cage's opening, so Bob has to bring his bird down, then up and then forward a little just to get his bird through the cage door, and even then the bird's head bumps against the door frame going in.
Getting his bird out of the cage isn't all that easy, either. To the bird, Bob's hands look massive coming through the small entrance. It takes some more careful maneuvering to get the bird out without hitting the side of the cage. Bob soon discovers that his bird seems to panic whenever he tries to get him out of the cage.

"Everywhere immigrants have enriched and strengthened the fabric of American life."
-John F. Kennedy, A Nation of Immigrants
To honor our 100th anniversary, ADL regions around the country are highlighting the civil rights work at the core of ADL's mission to "secure justice and fair treatment for all." Called "Civil Rights 2013: Leading Minds, Leading Issues", this series of 11 conferences has taken place around the country throughout our centennial year. Each focuses on a single issue at the top of ADL's—and the country's—civil rights agenda: discrimination, religious freedom, immigration, Internet hate and cyberbullying, hate crimes, free expression, and the challenge of balancing civil liberties and security.
ADL New England would like to invite you to attend the culminating event in the series: "America- A Nation of Immigrants: Where We Stand Today". In June the Senate passed a comprehensive immigration reform bill that includes increased border security and a pathway to citizenship for the approximately 11 million undocumented immigrants already contributing to American society. Now the Senate—and the country—are waiting for the House to act. Here, an expert panel will discuss the prospects for comprehensive immigration reform and explore what that reform could mean for America.
This panel currently includes:
Ali Noornai, Executive Director of the National Immigration Forum in Washington D.C.
Reverend Cheng Imm Tan, Director of the Mayor's Office of New Bostonians
Jose Vargas, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, filmmaker, and the founder of the Define American campaign
Moderated by:
John Willshire-Carrera, Co-Managing Director of the Harvard Immigration and Refugee Clinic at Greater Boston Legal Services and Clinical Instructor at Harvard Law School

The past few years have seen a rather remarkable questioning of longaccepted forms of management of early breast cancer. New types of diagnosis, eg, mammography, have not been without problems despite a significant improvement in early detection. New types of treatment include less extensive surgery and the postoperative use of chemotherapeutic drug combinations to prevent or delay the onset of recurrences or metastases.
These new approaches are not free of controversy. Traditionalist surgeons decry the passing of the radical mastectomy, while admitting the lessened morbidity of simpler procedures. Editorial hallelujahs from organs as respected as the New England Journal of Medicine hailed the chemotherapeutic prophylaxis as a "breakthrough," though longer follow-up suggests lessened overall benefit than initially heralded. Meanwhile, arguments continue, and the early treatment of breast cancer remains controversial.
Now comes an important new work that begins with a historical perspective on early breast cancer treatment and then guides

Kevin P. Kaufhold, MD, a local Michiana family physician, is among a select group of physicians to be honored by the American Academy of Family Physicians Foundation (AAFP) for his commitment to education in the field of family medicine. Dr. Kaufhold is one of 12 physicians, across 400 Family Medicine programs nationwide, selected to receive the 2012 Pfizer Teacher Development Award based on his scholastic achievement, leadership qualities, and dedication to family medicine.He is currently a volunteer preceptor with the Family Medicine Residency Program at Saint Joseph Regional Medical Center (SJRMC), and a family medicine physician at the Granger campus of the South Bend Clinic. Dr. Kaufhold earned his medical degree from the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, and is a graduate of the Saint Joseph Regional Medical Center Family Medicine Residency Program."While we have many community physicians who volunteer their time to educate SJRMC's resident physicians, Dr. Kaufhold consistently goes above and beyond – sharing not only his time, but his insight into the art of medicine – at a level that is much greater than most," said Martin Wieschhaus, MD, ABFM, FAAFP, medical director of Graduate Medical Education at SJRMC and program director of the SJRMC Family Medicine Residency Program.The award recognizes outstanding, community-based family physicians who combine clinical practice with part-time teaching of family medicine, and provides funding for each recipient to attend an activity of choice to further their professional development and teaching skills. Each nomination is reviewed and scored by a panel appointed by the AAFP Foundation."The Pfizer Teacher Development Award spotlights the best of our profession: those in active practice who give of themselves to teach, mentor, and inspire residents and students. My congratulations to Dr. Kaufhold and my thanks to Pfizer for preserving the noble tradition of the clinician-teacher," said Mary Jo Welker, MD, AAFP Foundation president.

Geriatrics is very much to the fore these days, and it is useful to have in print the deliberations of a group of experts. This volume deals with problems of aging as brought out in the conference held in February, 1951, and sponsored by the Josiah Macy, Jr., Foundation. Endocrine aspects, cardiovascular aspects, etc., are dealt with in considerable detail but in this particular symposium not much is taken up on the sociological, economic, or occupational side. The reviewer is not enthusiastic about the use of the Socratic dialogue in dealing with this material. There is much lost motion, and inconsequential things creep in, such as the following:
"Engle: Dr. Hamilton, may I interrupt, because Dr. Heilbrunn over here is getting very restless?
"Hamilton: I would like to hear what he has to say.
"Engle: You stay right up there because you have to defend yourself. Dr. Heilbrunn, you know

When you sign up for Original Medicare (Medicare Part A and Medicare Part B), you will also have an important decision to make about prescription drug coverage, also called Medicare Part D coverage. This article gives an overview and some highlights of Medicare Part D.
Medicare Prescription Drug Plans are sometimes called PDPs. They are offered by insurance companies and other private companies that have been approved by Medicare.
When you are first eligible for Medicare, you are also eligible to join a Prescription Drug Plan
Most Medicare Prescription Drug Plans have a network of pharmacies. It is common that PDPs require you to get your prescriptions from a pharmacy on the network list. If you do not, the plan may not pay.
Each plan has its own list of covered drugs, called a formulary, and the cost of medications can vary. It is important to ask about the plan's list of drugs and the rules about covered medications. You should also learn about costs and how to get help to pay for medication if you have limited income and resources.
You have other options as well, including replacing Original Medicare with a Medicare Advantage plan that not only provides medical coverage but also includes Prescription Drug coverage.
Log in or use your Anthem ID card to make sure you find a doctor or hospital in your network, which will help keep your costs down.
Note: If you are a member with Medicaid or other state-sponsored programs, search with the alpha prefix (first three letters) of your identification number or search by selecting a plan/network.
If it's not an emergency (and you can't get to your regular doctor) - there are other options for fast, more affordable care.

Authorities responded late Sunday to a railroad in Goose Creek after a man was fatally struck by a train.
The wreck occurred around 10 p.m. on the tracks at Hollywood Boulevard and U.S. Highway 52, according to a Goose Creek police report. The intersection is about a mile west of Felkel Field, a Goose Creek recreational complex and baseball park.
An Amtrak employee told police that the train was headed north at 79 mph when a man walked onto the tracks, faced the train and crossed his arms.
The man did not attempt to avoid being hit, the employee told police.
Authorities located the man's body about 240 feet from where he was struck.
Berkeley County Coroner Bill Salisbury said the death has been ruled a suicide.
A Goose Creek police report identified him as 34-year-old John Edward Caffrey of Goose Creek.

Adam Henrique returned to the Devils' lineup today as they hosted the Pittsburgh Penguins at the Prudential Center.
Henrique missed the previous three games (and five of the last eight) with a groin injury.
Martin Brodeur was in goal for the Devils against Marc-Andre Fleury. The Penguins' goalie had won his previous nine starts.
Ryan Carter (hand) and Adam Larsson (bruised lower back) remained out while Cam Janssen was a healthy scratch. Peter Harrold was returned to Albany (AHL).
Johnson made a stick save on Henrique 29 seconds into the period.
Attendance is 14,707.
Volchenkov was called for high-sticking at 10:24. It proved costly as Malkin scored a power play goal at 11:43 to bring the Pens back to within two, 4-2.
Mills was unable to clear the puck with a weak backhander that was held in at the blue line by Steve Sullivan and Malkin scored from the left circle after one fake on Greene. It was Malkin's 29th goal of the season.
Ponikarovsky went hard into the end boards with Tyler Kennedy at 17:34. Kennedy had trouble getting up and limped off to the dressing room, but Ponikarivsky appeared to be okay.
Foster was sent off for hooking Malkin at 1:09, but the Devils scored their league-leading 13th short-handed goal of the season.
Kovalchuk blocked Paul Martin's attempt to shoot the puck in from the right point and then stripped the puck from the former Devils defenseman before putting a shot on goal. Fleury made the save, but Zubrus scored on the rebound at 2:28 for a 3-0 Devils lead.
The Devils now have 13 short-handed goals-- six at home and seven on the road. That matches their figure of 13 short-handed goals allowed, also tops in the league.
At that point Fleury was pulled in favor of Brent Johnson. Fleury allowed three goals on 12 shots.
Pittsburgh responded by getting on the board at 3:02 when Matt Niskanen's shot from above the left circle beat Brodeur for a power play goal. There were eight seconds remaining in Foster's penalty.
Parise scored his 20th goal as the Devils took a 4-1 lead. Penguins winger Richard Park fell as he battled the Devils' captain along the end boards and Parise skated out from the left side of the net to backhand a shot through traffic past Johnson at 11:22.
It was Parise's fifth goal in four games.
Boulton took a big hip check to the left thigh from Kris Letang at 15:55. The check upended Boulton at center ice.
The Penguins are outshooting the Devils, 21-19.
End of period: Devils 4, Penguins 1
The Devils started a line with Patrik Elias centering for Zach Parise and Ilya Kovalchuk. Andy Greene and Mark Fayne were on defense.
Other lines: Alexei Ponikarovsky-Henrique-Steve Bernier; Petr Sykora-Dainius Zubrus-David Clarkson; Eric Boulton-Jacob Josefson-Brad Mills.
Defense: Bryce Salvador-Anton Volchenkov; Matt Taormina-Kurtis Foster.
Kovalchuk's 22nd goal of the season gave the Devils a 1-0 lead at 2:21. Parise pushed the puck to Elias from behind the center and Elias centered for Kovalchuk in the deep slot. Kovalchuk has eight points (3 goals, 5 assists) in the last four games.
Brodeur made a pad save on Evgeni Malkin's shot at 6:26.
Volchenkov 's first goal for the Devils gave them a 2-0 lead. Ponikarovsky's pass found the big defenseman at the top of the slot, but he was hesitant to shoot an dished off to Kovalchuk in the left circle.
But Kovalchuk gave it right back and Volchenkov scored his first of the season from the left hash marks at 9:33. It was Volchenkov's first goal for the Devils in 102 games. His last came for the Ottawa Senators on April 1, 2010.
The assist gave Kovalchuk nine points in four games (3 goals, 6 assists).
Brodeur made back-to-back stops on Pascal Dupuis and Matt Cooke shots with 5:30 remaining.
The veteran goalie made a shoulder save to help protect the lead on a spinning move and shot by Malkin from the left circle with 35 seconds left.
The Penguins outshot the Devils, 11-10.
End of period: Devils 2, Penguins 0

Many of the symptoms of CHF (congestive heart failure) are associated with the congestion that develops as fluid backs up into the lungs and leaks into the tissues. Other symptoms occur because not enough oxygen-rich blood gets to the body.
The effects of heart failure on the body depend on which side of the heart is affected.
In this type of failure, the heart muscles on the right side thicken, so that the muscle becomes very relaxed (floppy).
Blood that normally enters the right side from the body begins to back up.
This blood backs up into the body and causes the veins in the body and tissues surroundingthe heart to swell.
Symptoms of right-side heart failure include:
The weakened heart muscle no longer can keep up with the demands of the body for oxygen-rich blood.
Back-up into the lungs occurs. Symptoms of left-side heart failure include:

Concerns for Equity and the Optimal Co-Payments for Publicly Provided Health Care
Michael Hoel
University of Oslo; CESifo (Center for Economic Studies and Ifo Institute for Economic Research)
December 2005
CESifo Working Paper Series No. 1620
In countries where health care is publicly provided and where equity considerations play an important role in policy decisions, it is often argued that an increase in co-payments is unacceptable as it will be particularly harmful to the less well-off in society. The present paper derives socially optimal co-payments in a simple model of health care where people differ in income and in severity of illness. The social optimum depends on the welfare weights given to persons with different levels of expected utility. Increased concern for equity may increase optimal co-payments for illnesses with homogeneous severity across the population. For illnesses where the severity varies strongly across the population, optimal co-payments go down as a response to increased concern for equity, provided income differences in the society are sufficiently small.

After 14 Years, a Young Attorney General Closes in on the Birmingham Bombings
"I was getting ready to eat lunch when somebody ran in and told me what had happened," recalls Bill Baxley, then a 22-year-old student at the University of Alabama Law School. "It was the most shocking thing I've ever experienced. I got sick. I wanted to do something, but I didn't know what."
Since those dark days the New South has risen even to the White House—and Alabama Attorney General William J. Baxley, now 36, has found his own way of expunging the last bitter memories of the Old. In September Baxley won the first indictment in the 14-year-old bombing—and another in the case of an unoccupied Birmingham church dynamited in 1958. "I never put the bombing out of my mind all those years," Baxley says. "I was haunted by the belief that those responsible ought to be punished."
Robert Chambliss, a 73-year-old former Klansman and gas station attendant, has been accused of murder in the 16th Street bombing, while the infamous J.B. Stoner, chairman of the neo-Nazi National States Rights Party, stands indicted for the earlier attack. A letter arrived from Stoner's office last year telling Baxley to "apologize for your harassment of Alabama patriots." An answer went off by return mail: "My response to your letter of February 19, 1976 is—Kiss my ass. Sincerely, Bill Baxley, Attorney General."
The son of a prosecutor and circuit court judge, Baxley grew up in Dothan, Ala. (pop. 50,000), where he found segregation a nettlesome way of life. "I never remember a time when I felt it was all right," he says. After law school, a state Supreme Court clerkship and a six-month tour in the Air Force Reserve, Baxley returned to Dothan to practice law. Appointed to fill the unexpired term of the local district attorney, he was elected to the office himself at 25. Four years later, in 1970, he was elected state attorney general, the youngest man ever to fill that office. "Now I could do what I had sworn to do," he remembers thinking. "Within two months in office I had set one goal for myself: to solve that bombing case." As a reminder, he wrote the four victims' names on a card he always carried in his wallet.
The case was by no means Baxley's sole obsession. He tilted against corruption spawned by decades of good-ole-boy politics in Alabama—and saw a dozen state officials convicted. He sued Birmingham's steel mills for polluting, and won. He closed down a speed trap in Fruithurst, Ala., made the police force resign, and then offered his services to anyone who wished to lodge a civil suit against them. When Bull Connor ran for a seat on the state Public Service Commission, Baxley risked his political career by opposing him—and then prosecuted the man who beat Connor for taking a bribe. (The case is being appealed.)
But the Birmingham bombing was the test of his mettle. The trail of evidence was seven years cold when he got to it, and the FBI waited four years before acceding to his request for its files on the case. ("I think they had some informants they had to protect," he says.) Baxley admits he "may have mentioned once" the possibility of taking the parents of the dead children to Washington for a news conference if the FBI did not cooperate. Soon after, the files arrived.
Sharing Baxley's crusade is his wife, Lucy, 39, a divorcée (with a 19-year-old daughter) who worked for him in Dothan and Montgomery until their marriage 16 months ago. Baxley was living with two other bachelor friends in an apartment that Lucy says "should have been shut down by the health department." Now she works in the legal section of the State Highway Department. "I can work for a man I hate," she says, "but not for a million dollars could I work for a man I love."
Baxley plans to run for governor in 1978—and, with labor, blacks and environmentalists behind him, he will be a formidable contender. Of those who suggest the recent indictments may have been politically inspired, he asks, "What if I lose the case?" But he clearly does not expect that to happen. Stoner is fighting extradition from Georgia, but Baxley hopes to bring Chambliss to trial in November—and to indict perhaps six more of the 30 people he believes were involved in the 16th Street bombing. Baxley is sensitive to the fear, especially among older blacks in the community, that reopening the case might salt old racial wounds. But he insists that his commitment to the prosecution—and to history—is overriding. "I felt so helpless back when it happened," he recalls, "and there's been a cloud over Birmingham ever since. We need to close this ugly chapter—and we've got a good case. I just want to get it to a jury."

A buddy of mine is about to graduate from boot camp. I want to get him something cool to celebrate. I want it to be something nice, but under $75 bucks. Gun or knife related. I was thinking about maybe a nice fixed blade or something. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Skip to comments.It Is Over [Kudlow says: Hillary! is done]
Posted on 02/19/2008 10:29:59 PM PST by Petronski
Please allow me a dose of hardened market realism concerning Obama's landslide victory in Wisconsin. The race is over. Hillary is finished. The Clinton Restoration is over.
President Bill Clinton's political invincibility is over. Hillary's electability is over. Obama got to the far Left faster than she did. He out organized her in the precincts. He out fundraised her. He out speechified her. He out-hustled her. He out-dressed her. He out-presidentialed her. He outdid her and he outbid her for votes, one promised government check at a time.
A 15-point margin in Wisconsin is incredible. Wisconsin is a lot like Ohio except for the wacko ultra-Left Madison college population, which is even worse that Columbus's Ohio State. But there are so many campuses in Ohio that will go for Obama that it is no matter. Think faculty voters, grimly determined for a left-wing takeover of America " from the bottom up" to use the former Saul Alinsky community organizer's phrase. As goes Wisconsin, so goes Ohio.
(Excerpt) Read more at corner.nationalreview.com ...
Pinglists please.
I fear the first is the one which will prove true.
While the thought of an Obama Presidency repulses me. The thought of Hillary winning anything, even the primaries, makes me wretch.
The question is only this....
Does Clinton Inc. have some really dirty dirt on Obama ....
...and this....
...do they have the guts to use it IF they do?
Not time to count any chickens yet. But maybe very soon.
I think as an empty suit obama will actually be over cautious and will not do anything major.
If Hillary loses Ohio, even if she wins Texas, she is done. I'm not counting her out just yet.
Tasty stuff is right, and I love reading it.
However, to paraphrase Rush...I won't believe she's been defeated until a house drops on her, and her feet roll up.
Too, if this all turns out to be true, we are left with another Marxist, one who is potentially more dangerous.
I have heard that, early on, the DNC may have floated (no pun intended) Obama as a foil to make Hillary appear more moderate, and that this strategy backfired. If true, that's funny.
This is Hillary. Guts? She's the closest thing to a viper without the scales. Honestly, I think she would do anything at all if she could get away with it. Most likely, though, is she'll self destruct in a very self-serving and quite hilarious way.
People I trust say that Obama will be harder to beat than Hillary! would have been.
Maybe I should be able to hold out for delayed gratification—but I just couldn't be anything but thrilled to see Hillary! crashing and burning in the primaries—even if there's a greater danger that Obama can beat McCain.
My gut feeling to those questions is "yes and YES".
And we will be seeing it pretty soon.
If I had to guess it will probably be a picture of a younger Obama in Muslim skullcap at a Mosque in Indonesia. Nasty stuff, and they will have to make sure their fingerprints aren't detected, but the Muslim card is about the only one they haven't played yet.
No kidding?
If that's true, then ROTFLOL at them! ;o)
It might explain one reason why she's so unprepared in post Super Tuesday competitions.
How will the Klintons die? Will there be a mushroom cloud? Or a mass epidemic of rat job loss?
I wasn't sure, over the years, that we'd kill her, but once Texas does, (and Ohio) it's time for celebration fireworks!
I'm so happy.
While you may be right, I think it's hard to imagine anyone more dangerous than Hillary.
Too soon to count the chickens.
Not too soon to watch them line up in fives.
He is a Che Guevara-like freakazoid. We should all be scared. But I still can't help but be happy that the wretched hilla-beast is toast.
If you believe that, you need to start listening to him.
I believe he will be VERY active, should he win.
And the Dem congress will cover for him, support him, and the media will...well, you know the rest.
It all depends on the turnout/ If the Pubs don't
get galvanized beyond their flaccid appearances in prumaries thus far, and sober up and start creating "turnout" , we could have a popular vote route by Obama, and you know how history repeats itself, and how that could be played by the MSM, regardless , once again, of how our unrevised Electoral College still works.
Yes, and HELL yes! If they can't win they will take him down with 'em.
Then it's on to crush the commie pinko fag Obama
He won't be able to handle this with his ego. I predict a pattern of self destruction and some bitter retribution.
That doesn't make any sense when you consider that Obama has revealed no policy positions. His speeches have all been pure fluff.
I wonder how many Obama primary votes are actually Republicans and independents just trying to get rid of Hillary who then will vote McCain in the general?
The media wont expose Obama.
It will be up to us.
I guarantee you this ... if we try to expose obama's real liberalism, the left will use the term "swiftboating".
When you have the standard FR position being not voting or going third party, I don't see much hope for McCain.
How about an old drug buddy who sold drugs with Obama?
Old girlfriend that Barry got pregnant and pressured to have an abortion?
Remember how they tried to sandbag Clarance Thomas with that last second slimehag Anita Hill? Could we see that kind of ation again?
Two thoughts, on that:
1) Think back on the 900 FBI files. When did that happen, early- to mid-90's? My calculation is that She Who Must Not Be Named obtained the files for all sitting Congressmembers at the time (535), major players in the DNC (call it 100+), a few of her more dangerous foes in the GOP (maybe another 100+), and the balance of 165 for entrenched members of the Federal bureaucracy, plus holdovers from the Arkansas days and other key figures (Jesse/Al, the MSM magnates, etc.)
When did Barak Husayn ibn Mahomet come on the political scene? Late 90's, perhaps? My guess is, She did NOT get his file. As a result, She and the flying monkeys have been filling the air with random shotgun blasts, hoping that something strikes.
2) I have NO DOUBT in my mind that, should She find something absolutely destructive towards him, She would not hesitate to use it. As I've posted elsewhere, She is The Anointed One. The WH was promised to her from the very beginning, for enduring William the Impeached all these years; their faux marriage, for example. Barack Husayn ibn Mahomet was and is a stalking horse, designed to give her WH bid credibility so that no one can claim She is "selected not elected."
The problem is, he has evolved beyond his role. He is Frankenstein's monster, a political creation of a mad scientist; and something has gone horribly wrong in the lab. This whole O-basm is utterly off-script, and the Clinton machine will eventually do what they do best: destroy all opposition, by any means available.
True--but that kind of namecalling didn't prevent Kerry's loss.
I think the more apt allusion is Obama as Dorothy throwing the pail of water on her. "Oh what a world! What a world! Who would have thought that some little girl like you could destroy my beautiful wickedness."
At least she isn't as Messianic as he is.
His rallies remind me of good ole Southern Baptist revivals...
except his have fainting, and all.
He's one scary dude...and his wife is worse than scary.
He's partaken of the Alinsky kool-aid, too.
And, he just happens to be charismatic.
Not so easy, I think. If he makes it past the threshers of the Clinton machine, he'll be damn near bulletproof.
do people realize what dire straits we are in?....
if we don't keep the white house and regain at least one of the houses we are going to sink really really low...
don't forget what a Barry Bama presidency would do....it would propel every leftist idea in every state and local area......eg...controlling your house's heat....mandating vaccines for young girls...taking our God off of our money, etc....
national health care?...in a blink of an eye....
more taxation for we middle class?...you bet...because if you have ANY asset, you'll be considered rich....
I should take exception with that since I still teach a few classes at OSU, but sadly, it's accurate---especially among (no, not the faculty or students) the administrators! Our last President, Karen Holbrook, was an absolute PC disaster and she appointed all these feminazis to deanships, etc.
That's a good one.
Do you envision a scenario where Obama drops a house, and/or flings a pail of water, on himself, too?
Just covering the bases...;o)
Few, I'd wager. Wishful thinking on your part, perhaps. No one is voting for McCain.
wake up freepers......we're losing it.....
Oh, Yes.
Y'all hold your fire on Obama till we see the whites of his eyes sometime in Sept/Oct.
I'm pinging MiaT. She was forced to eject wrongly, and she should be her to celebrate with us.
Mia, you were instrumental in her Thigness's defeat!
(Now for Obama...)
First question: maybe.
Second question: abso-fuggin-lutely.
No, it will not be easy. There are many of us ready and able to expose this empty suited commie pinko bed wetting fag.
CHANGE WHAT?... Who cares.. most Americans are too dumb politically to care..
People HATE Congress they HATE the President they HATE the lobbyists
They will ask change what.... AFTER THE ELECTION..
Cynical?........ no realistic.. Propaganda is an art..
Now all this is speculation, and you maybe right and it could be wishful thinking on my part, however...Remember when clinton campaigned? He was a rock star like obama. He loved the campaign but when it came to actually being president 18 months later he would take his limo out on the streets and stop it to shake peoples hands and campaign.
This could be the way he is, but who knows. Unfortunatley we conservatives are the only loosers in this whole campaign.
but he says it so beautifully!
Ok everyone. A nice big chorus of Kum By Yah!

once the fatty acid is converted to its CoA ester, the second step in beta oxidation is the transport into the ___ ___
mitochondrial matrix
once the CoA ester is transported into the mitochondrial matrix, it undergoes a sequence of 4 repetitive steps:
1) dehydrogenation
2) hydration
3) dehydrogenation (a second one)
4) carbon-carbon cleavage (thiolase reaction)
acyl CoA synthetase couples with the cleavage of __ to __and ___ in the reaction of fatty acid -> CoA ester
ATP, AMP, pyrophosphate (PPi)
what drives the entire reaction of fatty acid -> CoA ester strongly to the right?
breakdown of pyrophosphate (to inorganic phosphate)
fatty acids esterified with __ are capable of being transported across the inner mitochondrial membrane
the enzyme __ __ converts the fatty acid CoA ester to the O-acylated carnitine which is transported across the mitochondrial membrane by the transporter
carnitine acyltransferase I (CA1)
once on the matrix side of the inner mitochondrial membrane, the acylated carnitine is transformed by carnitine acyltransferase II (CA2) back into the __ __ ___
fatty acyl CoA
O-acylcarnitine is transported across the inner mitochondrial membrane by __/__ shuttle
once inside the mitochondrial matrix, the fatty acyl CoA ester undergoes 4 reactions, the first reaction is catalyzed by __ __ __ and __ is converted to __ in the process
acyl CoA dehydrogenase, FAD, FADH2
the double bond that is formed in the first dehydrogenation reaction of fatty acyl CoA ester in the mitochondrial matrix has a __ stereochemistry
in the second reaction of fatty acyl CoA in the mitochondrial matrix, __ is added across the double bond and the enzyme used is __ __ __
water, enoyl CoA hydratase
the third reaction in the sequence of 4 reactions that occurs in the mitochondrial matrix is another __ reaction, but in this case, the alcohol is oxidized to a ketone using __ as the oxidizing agent
dehydrogenation, NAD+
the b-ketoacyl CoA formed in the third step in the mitochondrial matrix is catalayzed by __ which cleaves off a molecule of acetyl CoA, leaving the __ __ of the original fatty acid but with __ less carbon atoms
thiolase, CoA ester, 2
the 4 reaction sequence is repeated, losing 2 carbon atoms each cycle, in the final reaction sequence in which the 4-carbon butyroyl CoA thioester is oxidized, the final thiolase reaction produces two molecules of __ __
acetyl CoA
example of beta oxidation: palmitoyl CoA (16 carbon atoms) goes through _ cycles of beta oxidation and is completely broken down to __ molecules of acetyl CoA, generating _ FADH2 and _ NADH
7, 8, 7, 7
how many molecules of ATP are generated from FADH2 when palmitoyl CoA (16 carbons) undergoes the beta oxidation process?
10.5 (takes 7 cycles, forms 7 FADH2, 1 FADH2 = 1.5 ATP, 7X1.5 = 10.5)
how many molecules of ATP are generated from NADH when palmitoyl CoA (16 carbons) undergoes the beta oxidation process?
17.5 (takes 7 cycles, forms 7 NADH, 1 NADH = 2.5 ATP, 7x2.5 = 17.5)
how many molecules of ATP are formed for every molecule of palmitoyl CoA that is completely oxidized (beta oxidation plus citric acid cycle) to carbon dioxide and water?
106 (not 108, have to subtract 2 ATP b/c we have to use them in esterification to get the faty acid into the system)

Houston's Bulb Lady, and my wonderful mentor/publisher, the late Sally McQueen Squire, was always looking for ways to make gardening easier for the rest of us, especially when it came to her favorite plants: bulbs.
She came up with this "calendar" for planting bulbs that would make timing (so important in our area) easier to remember.
We'll start with her Labor Day recommendations, since that holiday is right around the corner and is a great time to start gardening anew!
PLANTING BY THE HOLIDAYS by SALLY MCQUEEN SQUIRE
Start tilling new beds or rejuvenating old beds, allowing adequate time for soil to
settle before our big bulb-planting season ahead! One of the best places to buy
bulbs is the big annual Bulb and Plant Mart in the fall.
(Sally, a former Garden Club of Houston President, was a true stalwart of the Bulb & Plant Mart, traveling the country in the early days looking for great plants to sell. The 70th Annual Bulb & Plant Mart will be Friday-Saturday, Oct. 12-13, at Holly Hall Retirement Community by Reliant Stadium. Details: www.gchouston.org. This is the only place left that I know of where you can still buy Sally's book: "A Gardener's Guide to Growing Bulbs on the Gulf Coast.")
Add dirt to bulb beds if the soil has settled. Start amaryllis in containers so they will bloom for the
holidays. Then plant them in the garden, in a raised area, in the spring.
Plant: Agapanthus, allium, anemone, bletilla, lycoris, ranunculus (claws down!), crocus, Dutch iris, freesia, leucojum, milla, muscari, sparaxis and watsonia. Learn about all these in Sally's book!!!!
Start 'Paperwhite' narcissus in shallow dishes filled with pebbles for holiday blooms. Continue planting additional bowls every two weeks, to extend blooming season. The later you plant the bulbs, the shorter time until blooming. If you plant bulbs on Feb. 5, they will bloom about Feb. 22.
Plant: Daffodils and pre-refrigerated hyacinths in the ground. Unchilled hyacinths can be planted anytime in hyacinth glasses or containers and refrigerated until the roots fill the glass. Start amaryllis bulbs in pots in a low-light area for holiday blooms.
Start planting tulip bulbs that have been refrigerated at least 4-6 weeks. Tulips can be planted anytime until Feb. 13. Why not on Feb. 14, you ask? Because that's the traditional day for pruning roses in the garden!
Plant all the bulbs you forgot to plant in the fall — especially those tulips and hyacinths! They won't bloom in the refrigerator!
Don't worry about bulbs. This is the day to prune your roses!
Caladiums can be started in flats inside so they will be ready to put into the ground on Easter. Alstromeria, if you haven't planted them already, need to go into the ground quickly. Stagger gladiolus planting at two-week intervals to produce a long season of color.
Oxalis (those 4-leaf clovers sold in grocery stores love our gardens!) Dahlias can be started now but tubers usually require a full season of growing before producing flowers.
Plant amaryllis and caladiums in the ground now. Don't plant caladiums earlier because these rot too easily in cold soil. Amaryllis will naturalize here; no need to lift.
Plant achimienes. Criniums and cannas can be planted any time, except the dead of winter.
Okay to plant caladiums this late if you use plants.
Thanks, Sally! I miss you so much.

The Yankees set an all-time attendance record of 3.5 million this year, TV ratings are up, and Yankee logos outnumber the combined logos of all other area teams on the streets of New York by more than 10 to 1. There's no doubt whose town this is, except in our local press. New York papers seem to regard the Yankees' monumental victory over the Red Sox in the League Championship Series as something halfway between a mixed blessing and a disaster.
The Daily News led off its sports section with an Associated Press story headlined "Once Again, A Nation Mourns Its Red Sox." Which nation is that? The one in the New York area that loathes the Red Sox? Or the nation outside of the Northeast, to whom the Red Sox are just losers?
The New York Times headlined its Friday sports section not with "Yankees Win, Fans Ecstatic" but with "Yankees Prolong Red Sox Misery." The Times even asked The Boston Globe's Bob Ryan to contribute "a Boston view" to the section, tagging his column "Cubs Fans Can Complain, but Not Like Red Sox Fans." Of course not; fans in other cities could never suffer like Boston fans, and the Northeastern-centric media wouldn't indulge them in their self-pity if they did.

The classic collector's item, of course, is the editorial that inadvertently ran in the early edition of The New York Post on Friday morning, which featured the extraordinary pronouncement that the Yankee "season ended last night in the seventh game of the American League Championship Series." The Yanks, suggested the Post, may have acquired a curse of their own: "The Bombers haven't won the seventh game of a championship series since the 1962 World Series."
Apparently, there was no one handy with a record book to point out to them that from 1962 to the first round of the 2003 playoffs, the Yankees played in 19 best-of-seven series. They lost the only three that went to a seventh game, the '62, '64, and 2001 World Series. They didn't lose in the seventh game of any of the 16 other series primarily because they won those series before they got to the final game. That's a "curse" that Boston fans would take in a New York minute. Allen Barra
Talk about throwing out the book when it's crunch time. Just so we're all clear on how absolutely mind-boggling Grady Little's decision was to stick with Pedro Martinez during the Yankees' fateful eighth-inning rally in the ALCS's Game Seven, here are a few facts informing his pitcher's 7.1 IP, 123-pitch performance. During the 2003 regular season, Martinez threw 2,838 pitches, an average of 15.2 per inning. He threw more than 105 pitches in only ten of his 29 starts, and he pitched more than seven innings in only five of them. He limited the opposition to a .201 batting average in innings one through six and a .207 BA on his first 105 pitches. However, opponents hit .364 against him after his 105th pitch. Want to know what "secret" source we uncovered these stats from? The team's very own Post-Season Media Guide! Guess "Goober" Grady didn't need no stinking numbers to get in the way of his managerial fiddling while Martinez got burned.
One can only imagine what must have been going through the minds of Mike Timlin, Alan Embree, and Scott Williamson as they watched helplessly from the bullpen during the Martinez Massacre on River Avenue. Coming together as a relief corps only after Byung-Hyun Kim was scratched with a supposedly sore arm (from giving the Fenway faithful the finger after one too many blown saves, no doubt), this unheralded troika nonetheless co-authored quite a guidebook of its own against the Yankees: 13 innings, five hits, one run, two walks (one intentional), and 13 strikeouts. In most everyone's mindexcept Little's, obviouslythey would have gotten the Sox those five needed outs and a berth in the World Series, but by the time Embree and Timlin got into the game, the tide had irrevocably turned. In the Sox's somber locker room after Aaron Boone's pennant-winning homer off Tim Wakefield, Timlin was asked if the Yankees' winning so many championships while the Red Sox curse continued seemed unfair.
The 37-year-old veteran, who in the first two rounds of the playoffs outpitched all other relievers (a Karim Garcia single was the lone hit he surrendered in nine-plus innings of pressurized work), just shook his head in response. "Fair?" he replied. "The best hitters in this game make outs seven out of ten times. Baseball's never been fair." You can make book on that one. Billy Altman
After the Giants fumbled three times in Eagle territorytwo by QB Kerry Collins and one by tight end Jeremy Shockeyfollowed by bad coverage on a punt leading to Brian Westbrook's game-winning return, all of which led to New York's embarrassing and disastrous 14-10 loss to Philadelphia on Sunday, dropping the Giants to 2-4 and last place, coach Jim Fassel was left to explain. He lamented about "Murphy's Law." Running back Tiki Barber bemoaned the team's bad luck but then admitted, "You make your own luck."
Meanwhile, Shockey tried to hustle out of the locker room before reporters could talk to him. Just as he reached the exit, however, Shockey patted his pockets and exclaimed, "Fuck, I forgot my keys!" Figures. Brian P. Dunleavy

Then, they frolicked on the beach together.
Now, Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez have completed the serious romance trifecta – she met his whole family.
On Wednesday, Gomez, 18, and Bieber, 17, were spotted with members of the Bieber family in his native Canada. The group went to a local park in Toronto (where they played with his siblings), ate lunch at Swiss Chalet, and went out for ice cream.
"I don't like hiding," Gomez recently said of her relationship with the pop star. "I'm 18 and I'm going to fall in love."

Former Warren Mayor Michael J. O'Brien, with about 80 percent of the precincts counted in Trumbull County, holds a commanding lead in a three-way race for the Democratic nomination for Ohio's 64th District House seat.
O'Brien was getting 60.4 percent of the vote compared to Eugene Mach with 5 percent and Ken MacPherson, 34.7 percent.
The seat is open because term limits prevented state Rep. Tom Letson from running again.

Great lot of this future Coyotes star! Thomas is a patient goal scorer who knows where to go, and anticipates the game pretty well. Has an above average hockey sense, which served him well with the San Antonio Rampage of the AHL.

Successful schools suffer in state budget
July 28, 2013
While we have always supported the function that charter schools serve in Ohio and defended them against undue criticism from their public school counterparts, some of the funding language favoring......
You get what you vote for. He brags on balancing the budget. Yes, in the form of higher taxes passed on by local Ohioans. You were all warned, but did it anyway. How it working for you?

Schools should be judged by the results.
If the public schools were meeting expectations, then this would be a moot question since there would be no need for charter schools.
Look at the results with the students, don't nit-pick line items for either public or charter schools.
There are plenty of metrics that will tell a factual tale.

ViennaResident I am not sure where you got your numbers. I did some research and no where can I find that Warren gets or spends 3 times as much per student than Mathews. Let me know where you got your numbers, I am curious.

Trib this is just a way of reducing the number of teachers in the union.

Warren Schools receive almost 3 times the funding per student than Mathews receives. The Mathews HS Building will be 100 years old and education continues to occur there. Please explain how Mathews 3rd graders, ALL passed this year's State tests and Warren less than 50%. There is something major missing in your logic. I'm sure you want to take more money from the rich Townships to support your failing schools. Now that's not fair! WP can blame everyone else; just don't look in a mirror.

The Kansas City Chiefs made the decision Monday: They're ready to move on without Todd Haley on the sidelines for 2012.
Haley became the second head coach fired this season, joining the Jacksonville Jaguars' Jack Del Rio.
Later Monday, Tony Sparano became the third coach to lose his job when the Miami Dolphins decided to make a move before season's end.
It's possible we'll hear about more firings before the season is over, but it's not too early to break down just how good of an opportunity the Chiefs' job is.
With Del Rio and Sparano out and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' Raheem Morris on the hot seat, there could be wholesale needs for head coaches in sunny Florida. There's no ruling out that underachieving franchises in San Diego and Dallas would look to make changes at the top.
In the Chiefs' own state, the cross-state rival St. Louis Rams are expected to be searching for a coach and general manager soon. There are several reasons, however, why the Chiefs stand out among all the potential openings.
• The Chiefs have a strong general manager already in place. Reports are that Haley's style didn't quite mesh with that of Scott Pioli, the team architect who as an executive helped the New England Patriots win three Super Bowls. Pioli must find someone to successfully mesh with, as he did with Bill Belichick in New England.
In the interim, Pioli will get a longer look at former Patriots and current Chiefs defensive coordinator Romeo Crennel in the capacity. Rumors are already swirling that former Denver Broncos head coach Josh McDaniels will get consideration.
Pioli must be careful about not just sticking to his old ties and go with someone with the right schemes, energy and mindset to execute his organizational game plan. There's nothing wrong with going back to a creative offensive mind (such as McDaniels), but the Chiefs' new coach must be someone who tailors schemes to the personnel, and not the other way around.
• The Chiefs are loaded with good young talent when healthy. Just a season ago, Haley guided them to an 11-5 record and an AFC West division title. The roster isn't much different from that team, with one big exception: major injuries.
The Chiefs lost their best defensive playmaker, safety Eric Berry, to a torn ACL in Week 1. They lost their best offensive skill player, running back Jamaal Charles, to a similar knee injury in Week 2. Before the season, the Chiefs lost a key receiver in second-year tight end Tony Moeaki to—you guessed it—a torn ACL. Since Week 10, the Chiefs' shorthanded offense also has been playing without starting quarterback Matt Cassel (hand).
Because the offense struggled to move the ball and score points with Tyler Palko under center, Crennel's defense suffered. But when looking at it as unit without Berry, it still features Tamba Hali, Derrick Johnson and Brandon Flowers as high-level talents.
When it came to stockpiling talent over the past three years, Pioli and Haley didn't always see eye-to-eye. Haley had trouble giving the offensive reins to former Patriots coordinator Charlie Weis, and that partnership lasted for one winning season in 2010. This season's woes, however, are likely more tied directly to the loss of Charles, who accounted for 1,935 yards, or 35 percent of the team's offense last season.
• The Chiefs aren't far from returning to the top of the AFC West. They should know this firsthand, having gone first to worst in less than a year. The Oakland Raiders, who swept the division last season, look ready to fall short to Tim Tebow and the surprising Denver Broncos this season. The San Diego Chargers continue to be an enigma from year to year. And, going back to an easier schedule plus having a much healthier roster sets the Chiefs up for another potential quick turnaround.
• The Chiefs have an ardent fan base hungry for winning in the long term. Few places in the NFL are as electric as Arrowhead Stadium. Kansas City isn't quite as sleepy as an NFL city as Jacksonville or St. Louis, and doesn't come with the same pressure as Dallas or San Diego. It's a proud franchise where an up-and-coming hardworking "player's coach" can build a strong legacy.
