The public's advice about redrawing South Carolina's congressional and legislative districts was about as diverse as those who doled it out.
Sixteen residents, politicians and other community leaders spoke to the state Senate Redistricting Subcommittee hearing Thursday to tell lawmakers how they should approach this once-a-decade task.
The hearing, held at Trident Technical College in North Charleston, marked the 10th and final one held across the state. On Wednesday, the committee will meet in Columbia to begin the redistricting task.
Dewitt Williams, 92, encouraged lawmakers to ensure the new districts are politically competitive. "I'm against so-called safe districts," he said.
Jonathan Hoffman followed Williams and echoed his thoughts. "They shouldn't be incumbent-protection devices," he said. "The more competitive, the better."
Pete Anderson of Edisto Beach urged senators to put Colleton County in one Senate district. "We have three senators, and none of them live in Colleton County," he said.
While trying to have Senate districts follow county lines might seem like an admirable goal, Dorchester County Council Chairman Larry Hargett said having Senate districts that cross Berkeley, Charleston and Dorchester counties helps keep Lowcountry senators attuned to the region's needs.
Some speakers criticized the state's existing legislative districts as being racially gerrymandered, but Gwendolyn Robinson of Mount Pleasant told lawmakers, "There has to be race-consciousness. There has to be an awareness that we are all members of this state."
Others suggested lawmakers consider drawing districts that are not divided between television media markets.
After the hearing, Senate President Pro Tem Glenn McConnell, R-Charleston, said the addition of a seventh congressional district will guarantee a major change on the map. He said the subcommittee next will try to settle on some objective guidelines that it can use to draw districts so the process doesn't get overly political.
That objective criteria could help the state beat back any court challenge, McConnell said.
Kaye Koonce, an executive committeewoman with the state Democratic Party, told lawmakers the process "is likely to end up in court, despite your very best efforts."
A similar House panel, which will work on both congressional districts and the state House seats, plans a public hearing at 5 p.m. April 14 at 500 N. Main St. in Summerville.
The state plans to complete redistricting before next year's primary and general elections.

The papers have been judged, the votes have been tallied, and the winners are the Castro County News and the Plainview Daily Herald.
The two papers took home General Excellence Awards in the Panhandle Press Association's 2001 Better Newspaper Contest on Saturday at the Ambassador Hotel. The Gulf Coast Press Association judged the entries.
The awards breakfast was highlighted by speaker Mike Cochran of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, who recounted tales of run-ins with interesting people and slip-ups made by headline writers.
"We're lucky to be in Texas," he said. "Look at the characters we've got."
Characters like Judge Roy Bean on the Rio Grande, who kept a bear that had a taste for alcohol near his bench. Or an editor from the Fort Worth Press who wrote the headline "Cops eat kid's pet," in reference to a slain deer run over by a police officer.
"Don't you love this business?" he said, to cheers and laughter from the audience.
Following the speech, the Castro County News took home eight plaques for awards earned in the Division 1 contest for weekly papers, besides the General Excellence Award. Two of those eight were for first place.
"For a long time we won it year after year, it got so I got embarrassed," said Don Nelson, publisher of the Castro County News. "We've been working hard these past several years to win it again. This time it surprised us."
The Plainview Daily Herald also came away with eight awards, besides the General Excellence Award. Four of those awards were for first place.
"It's a true honor," said Doug McDonough with the Plainview Daily Herald. "It was obviously a tough decision for the judges."
The Clarendon Enterprise and the Quanah Tribune-Chief each took home Community Service Awards, each receiving $250.
The PPA, established in 1908, has more than 50 member newspapers in the Texas Panhandle, South Plains and parts of New Mexico, Oklahoma and Kansas.

Ray Luv, a native of the South Park district of Santa Rosa (West), California came on the scene of San Francisco Bay Area rap with his 1992 single "Get Ma Money On!" off his "Who Can Be Trusted?" EP. One of the producers of the album was the Khayree. Ray Luv formed a rap group named Strictly Dope with 2Pac in the late 80s. In 1995, he released "Forever Hustlin," which put him on the map locally. Ray Luv was part of the rap scene that grew out of Vallejo, California during the 1990s. Acts such as Mac Mall, Dubee Aka Sugawolf, E-40, Mac Dre, Young Lay and others put Vallejo's rap scene on the map during the 1990s. San Francisco based radio station 106.1 FM KMEL helped these acts get (locally) famous by giving them much deserved air time. Ray Luv is also a part of the group The Link Crew. Ray Luv's official music video for "Last Nite" off the classic album "Forever Hustlin'" released in 1994 / 1995 by the label Young Black Brotha/Atlantic Records. The track "Last Nite" was a blockbuster hit with daily rotation on 106.1 KMEL and throughout California radio stations; a classic indeed. Ray Luv (born Raymond Tyson), is a native of the West 9th district of Santa Rosa, California. Ray became well known during the explosion of Bay Area rap in the early 1990's. His 1993 single "Get Ma Money On!" off the Who Can Be Trusted? EP was very popular and earned lots of local radio play in the San Francisco Bay Area on radio station 106.1 KMEL. One of the producers of that album was the Vallejo native Khayree who started the record label "Young Black Brotha." Ray Luv had many guest appearances, including songs on the Master-P produced collaboration "West Coast Bay Boyz" and the soundtrack to the movie "New Jersey Drive." In 1995, Ray released another albumForever Hustlin. Ray Luv was part of the rap scene that grew out of the Bay Area during the early 1990s joining such acts as Mac Mall, Dubee Aka Sugawolf, E-40, Mac Dre, Young Lay, JT Tha Bigga Figga, RBL Posse and Master P.

A 66-year-old man developed fever, chills, myalgias, three erythematous skin lesions, and transient left eyelid lag. Because of persistent fever, he was hospitalized 4 weeks after the onset of disease; a peripheral blood smear showed Babesia microti in 3% of his erythrocytes. Eighteen hours later, he died unexpectedly. Autopsy showed pancarditis with a diffuse lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate, and spirochetes were found in the myocardium. Antibody titers to both the Lyme disease spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi and Babesia microti were elevated. The finding of spirochetes in the myocardium and the elevated antibody titers to Borrelia burgdorferi suggest that the patient died from cardiac involvement of Lyme disease.

Gotham City Impostors
(PS3, PC, Xbox 360 )
Solid customization and wildly absurd characters make this an FPS worth playingBy Garett Mefford Score:
Mar 25, 2012 11:57PM PST
Gotham City Impostors is a first person shooter that focuses on two rival gangs, the bats and the jokerz, that go to war when the dark knight is out of town. Obviously, the bats try to uphold justice in the absence of the caped crusader while the jokerz take a page from the clown prince of crime and terrorize gotham. That's about as far as story goes in this particular game, but that is really all we need. After all, this game is all about the online play.
The gameplay is similar to your garden variety online FPS, while the gunplay is solid, it's not really something to write home about. The absurdity of some of these weapons really make the game as great as it is. Laying jack in the box land mines, throwing boomerangs, slingshotting grenades, and so many more weapons keep the game from getting stale with just firing guns over and over.
Imposters offers deep customization for your character. You're able to change the body type from a massive tank to barrel through enemies, to a skinny beanpole that can easily dodge enemy fire. Along with these you can change your characters clothes to fit your own personality; you can equip items such as cardboard batman heads or a clown afro just to name a few. However, not all the customization is just cosmetic. You can equip your character with certain perks much like the perks in the call of duty multiplayer.
Along with those perks, there are several different movement perks(such as glider rigs, roller skates, grappling hooks) that give this game a real personality. I can't praise these movement perks enough with how beautifully they are executed in the game. The roller skates, for example, control insanely smooth. This gives the player a sense of gliding across the map much faster than usual and there are even ramps set up to let the player launch themselves across the area.
The game offers 5 maps that are set through out the city of Gotham. In each of these maps there are certain areas that cater to certain perks. Such as air vents to boost the glider rigs, ramps to launch players on roller skates, and high secluded areas that can only be reached via grappling hook. In addition to these, there are first aid kits that can be used to heal your character regardless of the perks you have chosen.
Imposters offers 3 game modes to use these maps. these game modes include the standard team deathmatch, Fumigation, and Psych Warfare. Fumigation is similar to Headquarters in Call of Duty or Conquest in Battlefield. The players capture certain fumigators(bases) to take control for their team. The team with that takes 100% control kills the other team with a swarm of bats(the bats) or a nerve toxin (the Jokerz). Psych Warfare is similar to capture the flag. Players grab a battery to power their own demoralizer. This is where a twist comes into play. When a team succesfully captures a battery the other team is "demoralized", which means they lose all ability to use their weapons and gadgets. Leaving the "demoralized" players as sitting ducks.
Overall, this game is very fun to play. Whenever you need a break from from the realism of Call of Duty or Battlefield, Imposters can deliver with some over the top absurdity that can break through the mundane and treat you with a beautifully crafted change of pace. There are a few bugs to work through; such as lengthy load screens, occasional matchmaking errors(I was once by myself against a team of six) and the near gamebreaking divebombs. This is when players choose the heaviest bodyset with a glider and divebomb onto you, which is almost a surefire kill everytime. However, these little issues shouldn't keep you from having a ton of fun with Gotham City Imposters.

A multiple constituency approach to IJV performance measurement
This paper analyses the differences in the way partner firms assess the performance of international joint ventures (IJV). It is argued that an understanding of these differences is important for the practice of, and for research into IJV management. From a managerial point of view, firms, as well as IJV management, need to know how the partners evaluate the venture's performance. From a research perspective such differences can distort the results of studies that compare the performance of IJVs with other organizational designs or aim to identify the determinants of IJV performance. A multiple constituency approach is employed to develop hypotheses and test them using empirical data gathered through a questionnaire survey among 110 managers of German-Chinese joint ventures (GCJV) in the People's Republic of China. This is supplemented by qualitative data gathered through in-depth interviews with 25 managers. The findings highlight a number of differences regarding the way in which partner firms assess the performance of IJVs that are relevant for practice and research.

The United States and Its Unafraid Ally, Bahrain
The United States, a long-time ally of the al-Khalifa regime currently governing Bahrain, is in a unique position to pressure the country to change its policies. The United States must take concrete action to condemn the Bahraini regime for its ongoing human rights violations.

INDIANAPOLIS -- The Indiana Pacers weren't about to let another big first-half lead slip away.
After blowing a 25-point cushion against Denver earlier this season, the Pacers managed to hold off the Dallas Mavericks' second-half rally for a 111-107 victory on Friday.
Danny Granger scored eight of his 25 points in the fourth quarter, Jamaal Tinsley added 24 points and Troy Murphy chipped in 18 for the Pacers (6-7), who won for the third time in four games despite playing without All-Star forward Jermaine O'Neal.
"We are starting to come together as a team, and tonight we could see it," said Indiana center Jeff Foster, who finished with 10 points and 11 rebounds. "This was a big win and we've got to build on it."
Dallas, which trailed by 16 points in the first half, tied it at 98 on Brandon Bass' basket with 5:48 left in the fourth quarter. The Pacers regained a 104-98 advantage later in the period, but the Mavericks scored the next four points to get within two.
"During a timeout, we said, 'Let's show what type of team we are right here,"' Granger said. "We took it from there down the stretch."
Shawne Williams' free throw gave Indiana a 110-107 lead with eight seconds left, and Foster knocked the ball away from Dirk Nowitzki on the Mavericks' ensuing inbounds play to secure the victory.
"When it came down to the end, they were able to get to the free throw line and we kind of sputtered," said Mavericks guard Devin Harris, who scored 24 points.
Nowitzki had 20 points and 11 rebounds, and Josh Howard finished with 19 points for the Mavericks (9-3), who had their five-game win streak snapped.
"We're making it tough on ourselves," Dallas guard Jason Terry said. "It takes a lot out of you to come back like that."
The Pacers opened a 30-20 advantage late in the first quarter on Tinsley's jumper, but Dallas got five straight points from Terry to close out the period.
Indiana built the advantage back up to 41-25 early in the second quarter following Murphy's 3-pointer. The Mavericks answered with a 14-2 run to cut the deficit to four points with 5:09 left in the half, but the Pacers regained a 62-53 advantage heading into the break.
In the third quarter, Dallas trimmed an eight-point Indiana lead to 88-87 late in the period after Howard's two free throws, Terry's 3-pointer and Harris' pair of free throws.
"We felt like we had a great third quarter, and that got us back into the game, but in the fourth, I think we just ran out of gas," Harris said.
Granger said the win proves Indiana can play with some of the top teams in the NBA. The Pacers already have victories over three of the Western Conference's elite - Utah, New Orleans and Dallas.
"This could be a basis for ongoing games and a lot of wins," he said.
Murphy and Nowitzki each got technical fouls following a heated exchange of words with 9:19 left in the fourth quarter. Murphy was upset about a hard foul he received from Nowitzki on a drive to the basket. ... Mavericks coach Avery Johnson was ejected in the fourth quarter after picking up two technical fouls for arguing with referee Bennett Salvatore over a foul call. ... O'Neal missed the game with swelling in his left knee and lower leg. The six-time All-Star also sat out Wednesday's 105-93 victory in New Orleans. The timetable for his return is uncertain. ... Dallas G-F Devean George (left foot stress reaction) and G-F Eddie Jones (sore right leg) did not play. ... The Pacers snapped a four-game losing streak against Dallas.

Movie capsules: What's playing in Erie, Meadville, Sept. 19- Sept. 25
TINSELTOWN: "Clean Guys of Comedy" today, 8:30 p.m. "Fight Club" on Sunday, 2 p.m., and Wednesday, 2 and 7 p.m. "Unstoppable: A Live Event with Kirk Cameron" on Tuesday, 8 p.m. "Pompeii from the British Museum" on Wednesday, 7:30 p.m.
TINSELTOWN: "Prisoners."
MOVIES AT MEADVILLE: "Battle of the Year." "Prisoners." "The Way Way Back."
Sunset Drive-In: "The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones." "Riddick."
Tinseltown: "The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones." "The Ultimate Life." "The World's End."
MOVIES AT MEADVILLE: "Getaway." "The Grandmaster." "One Direction: This is Us" in 2-D. "The Smurfs 2" in 2-D. "This is the End."
"Battle of the Year": Battle of the Year attracts all the best dance teams from around the world, but the Americans haven't won in 15 years. Dante Graham (Laz Alonso) enlists Jason Blake (Josh Holloway) to assemble a team of the best dancers and bring the Trophy back to America where it started. (1:49. PG-13 for language and some rude behavior.)
"Prisoners": When Keller Dover's (Hugh Jackman) daughter and her friend go missing, he takes matters into his own hands as the police pursue multiple leads and the pressure mounts. But just how far will this desperate father go to protect his family? (2:33. R for disturbing violent content including torture and language throughout.)
"Despicable Me 2": Gru (voiced by Steve Carell) is recruited by the Anti-Villain League to help deal with a powerful new super criminal. Heartfelt and funny. One of the best animated films of the year. (1:39. PG for rude humor and mild action.) ***
"Elysium": Set in the year 2154, when the very wealthy live on a man-made space station while the rest of the population resides on a ruined Earth, a man (Matt Damon) takes on a mission that could bring equality to the polarized worlds. Interesting sci-fi flick, despite the simplistic script. (1:49. R for strong bloody violence and language throughout.) ***
"The Family": The Manzoni family, a notorious mafia clan, is relocated to Normandy, France, under the witness protection program, where fitting in soon becomes challenging as their old habits die hard. There are some funny moments, but this fish-out-of-water flick isn't really special. (1: 51. R for violence, language and brief sexuality.) **
"Getaway": Former race-car driver Brent Magna (Ethan Hawke) is pitted against the clock when his wife is kidnapped by a mysterious villain. He commandeers a young woman's car and takes her on a high-speed race against time. Despite some impressive action, the story is just too silly to pull off. (1:30. PG-13 for intense action, violence and mayhem throughout, some rude gestures, and language.) *1/2
"THE GRANDMASTER": The story of martial-arts master Ip Man, the man who trained Bruce Lee. Despite some choppiness, it's a meticulous and beautiful film. (1:48. PG-13 for violence, brief drug use, smoking, language.) ***1/2
"Grown Ups 2": After moving his family back to his hometown to be with his friends and their kids, Lenny (Adam Sandler) finds out that sometimes crazy follows you. Humorless and useless. (1:41. PG-13 for crude and suggestive content, language and some male rear nudity.) *1/2
"Insidious: CHAPTER 2": The haunted Lambert family seeks to uncover the mysterious childhood secret that has left them dangerously connected to the spirit world. Only slightly entertaining, but the script isn't really clever and evil spirits don't seem very original. (1:45. PG-13 for intense sequences of terror and violence, and thematic elements.) **
"Lee Daniel's The Butler": An African-American's (Forest Whitaker) eyewitness accounts of notable events of the 20th century during his tenure as a White House butler. Not the best piece of cinema, but certainly powerful and worth a look. (2:12. PG-13 for some violence and disturbing images, language, sexual material, thematic elements and smoking.) ***
"The Mortal Instruments: CITY OF BONES": When her mom is attacked and taken from their home in New York City by a demon, a seemingly ordinary teenage girl, Clary Fray (Lily Collins), finds out truths about her past and bloodline on her quest to get her back. Fans of werewolves, vampires and supernatural teens will love it, but there's nothing compelling or groundbreaking about the story. (2:10. PG-13 for intense sequences of fantasy violence and action, and some suggestive content.) **1/2
"One Direction: THIS IS US 3-D": A look at Niall, Zayn, Liam, Louis and Harry's meteoric rise to fame, from their humble hometown beginnings and competing on the "X-Factor," to conquering the world and performing at London's famed O2 Arena. Why would director Morgan Spurlock ever agree to do this film? The documentary doesn't reveal anything about the teen sensations, and it's more geared toward fans. (1:32. PG for mild language.) **
"Planes": Dusty (voiced by Dane Cook) is a crop-dusting plane who dreams of competing in a famous aerial race. The problem? He is hopelessly afraid of heights. With the support of his mentor Skipper (Stacy Keach) and a host of new friends, Dusty sets off to make his dreams come true. Painfully unfunny, although small children might find it interesting. (1:32. PG for some mild action and rude humor.) *1/2
"RIDDICK": Having been betrayed and left for dead on a sun-scorched planet, Riddick (Vin Diesel) must fight for his survival against the deadly alien predators that exist in this barren land. There's nothing too appealing in this third "Riddick." (1:59. R for strong violence, language, some sexual content/nudity.) *1/2
"The Spectacular Now": A hard-partying high school senior's (Miles Teller) philosophy on life changes when he meets the not-so-typical "nice girl" (Shailene Woodley). A refreshing little teen romance flick with two great leads. (1:35. R for alcohol use, language and some sexuality -- all involving teens.) ***1/2
"THE ULTIMATE LIFE": A billionaire with questionable priorities re-examines his life after discovering his grandfather's journal. With Peter Fonda, Bill Cobbs, Logan Bartholomew. Bland and without urgency. The film plays it way too safe. (1:49. PG for brief battle scene, mild thematic elements.) *1/2
"The Way, Way Back": Fourteen-year-old Duncan (Liam James) is spending his summer vacation with his mother, her overbearing boyfriend, and his daughter. Having a rough time fitting in, Duncan finds an unexpected friend in Owen (Sam Rockwell), manager of the Water Wizz water park. The film gets lost in a sea of messages, but the cast keeps it afloat. (1:43. PG-13 for thematic elements, language, some sexual content and brief drug material.) ***
"We're the Millers": A veteran pot dealer (Jason Sudeikis) creates a fake family as part of his plan to move a huge shipment of weed into the U.S. from Mexico. A surprisingly hilarious summertime comedy with standout performances by Sudeikis and Will Poulter. (1:50. R for crude sexual content, pervasive language, drug material and brief graphic nudity.) ***
"The World's End": Five friends who reunite in an attempt to top their epic pub crawl from 20 years earlier unwittingly become humankind's only hope for survival. The story sputters along, but it's still full of laughs. (1:49. R for pervasive language including sexual references.) ***
"You're Next": When the Davison family comes under attack during their wedding anniversary getaway, the gang of mysterious killers soon learns that one of victims harbors a secret talent for fighting back. This horror film is a good mix of psychological terror and bloody fun. (1:36. R for strong bloody violence, language and some sexuality/nudity.) ***

'Donnybrook' doesn't land solid punch
"Watch twenty men enter a thirty-by-thirty barbed-wire ring, fight till one man was left standing. Then another twenty numbers were called for the next free-for-all. Till Sunday, when the winning men were left to fight till one man stood bloody and toothless waiting for his cash prize."
Frank Bill is offering you a ringside seat to this fracas in his appropriately titled "Donnybrook," a novel that inexorably draws its characters - those who stay alive, anyway - to this "three-day, bare-knuckles tournament," held each muggy August in a remote enclave in southern Indiana. Entry fee to fight? $1,000. Prize if one emerges as king of the hill? $100,000. »Read Full Article

Murray is Inspired By Family To Shock Sergio Martinez
MARTIN MURRAY says he's going to keep his feet on the ground even if he defeats Sergio Martinez in Argentina this spring.
The St Helens man faces the world's best middleweight for his WBC crown at the home stadium of Velez Sarsfield on April 27.
Martinez is widely regarded as one of the top three pound for pound fighters on the planet, so a victory for Murray would likely catapult him to superstar status.
However, he has no real interest in glitz and glamour and just wants to secure the financial future of his family.
"There's stardom to be had, but for me it's all about providing for my wife and kids," he said.
"Boxing's is my job so it's not just about looking good, it's about winning things so I can make sure my family has the best life I can provide for them.
"Winning this will make me the number one middleweight in the world and set up some more big opportunities.
"If I go on and beat Martinez I'll be in some massive fights which will secure our future and my legacy."
Martinez is so popular in Argentina that last year he was voted as the country's best sportsman ahead of footballing wizard Lionel Messi and around 50,000 fans are expected to turn out for the fight with Murray.
Murray knows he's going to be up against it in front of a partisan crowd, but he believes he has the tools to score an upset which would rival Lloyd Honeyghan's surprise 1986 victory over Donald Curry.
"With me being so much of an underdog it'll be a shock to a lot of people if I win, but it won't be a shock to me," he said.
"This is a fight I feel I can win and we'll be working on a plan in the next few weeks to work out how to beat Martinez."
The only game Murray's gonna beat Martinez is TENNIS. LOL!Comment by chiguy91 on 01-31-2013
i think an aspect of this fight that has me excited for it is to see how martinez looks after surgery and at 38. he can say he feels good in training, but we'll see how good he looks and…Comment by mathed on 01-31-2013
Good luck to him. I expect a very electric crowd and Martinez to come out and prove a point in front of his hometown crowd. Sergio by TKO/KO in round 7.Comment by Tonyu on 01-31-2013

/// Nokia: A Microsoft Surface Phone Could Screw Us
Jonas Daehnert No one knows for sure yet if Microsoft is developing its own Windows 8 smartphone, but some of the company's handset manufacturers clearly fear that it might. One in particular: Nokia. Nokia bet the farm on Windows Phone back in 2011, committing to a broad partnership under which Microsoft's mobile OS would be its primary smartphone strategy. Two years later, it continues to struggle toward what has so far been an elusive recovery. So it's understandable that the Finnish handset maker might worry that Microsoft's foray into the tablet world with Surface might herald a similar "exploratory" jaunt into the smartphone market. And, according to Nokia's latest 6-K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, that is a very real fear. Among the multitude of Microsoft-related uncertainties listed in the "Risk Factors" portion of Nokia's 20-F is this one, helpfully flagged by Business Insider : "Microsoft may make strategic decisions or changes that may be detrimental to us. For example, in addition to the Surface tablet, Microsoft may broaden its strategy to sell other mobile devices under its own brand, including smartphones

Vaccine harassment cases
I got super sad :( as I can relate to them. I was severely harassed by my last pediatrician.
Comments (7)
Been reading through these. I found the record on page 23-24 from LA to be especially poignant. A pro-vaxers child had an obvious vaccine reaction and she learned all about how they refuse to acknoledge them, report them, or treat them. Her comments about he doctors refusing to acknowledge that there was even anything wrong with her child when her nanny recognized there was something different and "quite seriously asked if we had dropped the baby on his head because he seemed retarded all of a sudden" really got me. I could totally see a CPS investigation coming from that. Could totally see that happening and it actually did happen to one of our family friends. Her child reacted after a vaccine and her husband and in-laws thought that she had done something to her. Then when the exact same thing happened to their son while under their care, they had to admit that they had been wrong. But I wonder how many other testimonies to "abuse" to a child to cause brain damage, could have been caused by an undiagnosed or unacknowledged vaccine reaction.
Bren-USMC wife '04, DD-06/06 9#9oz, DS-09/08 10#13oz, DD-09/10 9#1oz DD-11/13 8#1oz. Four NCBs! ^5 Angels^
( o )( o )-'07, '09, '11!
That is the scariest information I have seen yet.
Keep a cool paw; live, love, laugh, & be happy
Wow, that is very scary! All the more reason for me to stay strong about all of those vaccines when my pediatrician is harrassing me about them. Any advice would be appreciated on what to do and what my right are on this. I have searched for laws on vaccines but couldnt find much.
This happened to a coworker, sadly. Her 1-year-old was having brain swelling, inability to focus and the doc said she was being abused by the nanny or "shaken baby syndrome" as they call it. Turns out this baby had health issues from early on and I'm going to guess that vaxing just exasperated her issues. So CPS took her kid away to investigate the parents and the nanny. Last I heard she had to sign over full custody to her brother just so the state woudln't take her child and she could at least visit her under supervision. Scary as hell.....But the worst part is the mom seemed to believe that the nanny was abusing her. She didn't think the vaccines could cause that damage....
I seriously wonder how many parent's have had their baby's wrongfully taken away due to vaccine related shaken baby syndrome accusations. It makes me sick. And I have learned that vaccines have a monstrous effect on the deathrate of SIDS. It is the worst among Native American children and it absolutely makes sense because Native Americans are the most susceptible to viruses and diseases due to being isolated for most of their history.
We live on a reservation and the chance of your child dying from SIDS is very real. Everyone knows several people whose babies have died from this. And it sickens me that a lot of this is being caused by the pushy doctors at the Indian Health Clinics.

Rising interests rates means more pain for Hongkongers, says HKMA
Ratio of household debt to GDP increases to a high of 62 per cent, putting families at risk
Related topics
Rising interest rates in future could spell greater pain for Hongkongers as household debt in the city soars to all-time highs, even as they borrow less to buy homes.
The ratio of household debt to gross domestic product rose to a record 62 per cent in June from 61 per cent in March and 59 per cent at the end of last year, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority said in a half-yearly report yesterday.
The increasing ratio was a "warning signal" to the economy, HKMA chief executive Norman Chan Tak-lam said in May.
Household debt includes credit card loans, personal loans and home loans - which are usually a family's largest debt. The higher the ratio, the more vulnerable borrowers will be when interest rates go up.
Interest rates in Hong Kong, with a currency pegged to the US dollar, should rise when the US Federal Reserve delivers on its promise to wind down its quantitative easing, as is widely expected within months.
During the last cycle of rising interest rates in 1994-1995, when the Fed raised its benchmark interest rate to 6 per cent from 3 per cent, the impact on Hong Kong was relatively mild, the HKMA said.
"The potential impact on Hong Kong from [the] Fed's policy normalisation could be larger [than in 1994-1995], given that some domestic imbalances have been building up, particularly in the property market," it said.
Property transaction volumes have been muted after the government rolled out several rounds of measures to curb property prices.
These measures, the HKMA said, had helped bring down the loan-to-value ratio for new mortgages to an average of 56 per cent in June from 64 per cent before they were brought in, and the debt-servicing ratio to 36 per cent from over 40 per cent.
The HKMA also reported that pre-tax profit of retail banks had grown 30.9 per cent in this year's first half from the second half of last year.
Net interest margin, a measure of lending profitability, rose to 1.41 per cent in the first half from 1.37 per cent in the previous six months as ample liquidity drove down banks' average funding costs.
The capital adequacy ratio of locally incorporated banks rose to 15.9 per cent at the end of June from 15.7 per cent at the end of last year. But the tier-one capital adequacy ratio edged down to 13.2 per cent from 13.3 per cent.

Maybe it's time to define Conservatism. People throw around the term and it's getting almost as used, abused, caricatured and feigned-persecuted as the term RINO--everyone's favorite fallback when they choose political expedience over principle.
Republicans are NOT necessarily Conservatives, although many Republicans are conservative. So, envision the Venn Diagram above as having Republicans all around. Some Republicans are incoherent. That is, the slide between the circles for convenience sake or depending on what idea is currently trendy.
Politicians and their political staffers vacillate between the circles; usually based on political convenience. For example, almost all Republicans pay lip-service to fiscal conservatism but almost none of them believe it in practice. They all have their exceptions because they all have their pet ideas about what the government should do. Most of these ideas mean getting into your business.
Some politicians hold socially conservative beliefs but don't like talking about them because it's icky. More of them, especially in the Senate, are socially liberal.
Republicans killed their brand by nearly abandoning any form of fiscal conservatism. They believed in keeping taxes, but not spending, low. This caused the government to grow and the future debt obligations foisted on future generations to grow with it. The Democrats have since made the Republicans look like pikers in comparison, but the Republicans still have a ways to go to undo their image and action problem.
Now, there's much ado right now about the Conservative Political Action Conference because an identity-politics group GOProud has been allowed to attend CPAC. Having read founder Chris Barron's material and seen his activism, it seems that his group fits into two circles (or in the past, referred to as two legs of the Conservative tent)--the fiscal conservative and hawk circles. Here is the group's belief statement:
What we believe
We are conservatives who believe in limited government, individual liberty, free markets, a strong national defense and a confident foreign policy. We believe that every individual should be equal under the law. Click here to learn about our federal legislative priorities.
I'm pretty sure the "equal under the law" thing is a euphemism for gay people being married like hetero people. Otherwise, this is a fiscally and defense-wise conservative group.
Meanwhile, there are Libertarians of the Ron Paul variety. Last year, they notoriously won the CPAC straw-poll (a function of a bunch of college Ron Paulians being shipped to the conference to stuff the voting). You can look at the Libertarian's platform here. There is little about social issues, and in fact, many Libertarians are pro-Gay Marriage and pro-abortion. Or, they believe that these are personal choices and not to be part of the government at all. As to foreign policy, many libertarians are frankly anti-war, period. Some others believe in border protection with the rest of the world on its own. Others believe that America is only obligated to fight back when they're attacked (and the 9/11 attack was not a real attack).
As far as I can tell, many, if not most, libertarians inhabit only one circle on the Conservative Venn Diagram. In fact, Libertarians are so adhered to being anti-foreign intervention and pro-abortion and gay marriage that they vote Democrat -- see also Megan McArdle, et al.
Should these people be excluded from CPAC? They only constitute one leg of the Conservative tent while the GOProud constitutes two.
I'll come back to that question. For a moment, let's consider the Tea Party. When polled, Tea Partiers are very socially conservative. They emphasize fiscal conservatism because they feel the threat to the Republic and to personal liberty is the vast debt and the ever more powerful federal government--both of which strangle the freedom enumerated in the Constitution.
Does this swing both by the Tea Party, and by the nation generally, toward more fiscal restraint mean that the social issues are no longer important? Certainly not! It just means that many Americans believe that the pressing issue is the suffocating debt. Many also believe that many social ills can be solved by getting the government less, and not more, involved in citizens' lives.
The Tea Party's focus makes Republicans uncomfortable, because, more than any other policy, fiscal cuts are concrete. Lofty rhetoric can be thrown around about social issues, but so far, the only way at many social issues has been by cutting public funding (a fine strategy, by the way). Money can be measured. Republican action on such a tangible circle will be judged and judged harshly come this next election.
In an effort to conflate things and confuse the issue, many Republicans and even some Conservatives, throw the libertarians and the Tea Partiers into the same boat. This is a mistake. Tea Partiers are very concerned about fidelity to the Constitution and fiscal restraint and worry that much of the tradition that made America great is not being conserved. Libertarians would like to progress toward new social structures, tend to be more secular, and tend to have isolationist foreign policy views. These are big differences.
Another note. There is a strain of Big Government Conservatives in the Republican party. These folks have strong sympathy for social justice issues--they might want universal health care, for example, because they believe it's the Christian Thing To Do. This impulse can also influence foreign policy--intervening on behalf of Christians being massacred in nations being overrun by Islamists (Sudan) or sending billions in foreign policy aid to Africa for AIDs medicine and Malaria prevention, as an example. These folks often favor Amnesty for illegal aliens. President Bush was this flavor of a Conservative. He was hawkish and socially conservative but he was not, in the least, a fiscal conservative. He saw the government as an objective force for good. To fully understand this strain, read Michael Gerson's book Heroic Conservatism (I may be the only one who read that book, but it laid out this philosophy).
It is safe to say that the Tea Party reacted to this lopsided conservatism. At what point do Christians need to tend to their own house? America's house needs some tending. And so, the fiscal brakes have been applied to get True Conservatism back in balance.
In addition, there are one-issue voters in every circle. That is, there are some Republicans who only vote Republican for fiscal reasons (they own a business and don't care about the rest of it, for example). Some vote Republican because they're one issue is abortion. They give to the SBAList and they vote Life. I have evangelical friends who chose Mike Huckabee on only this issue. The rest of his stands mattered little. And then there are a whole new group of Republicans who are somewhat derisively labeled "Neocons". These are hawkish foreign policy folks, often but not always Jewish, who were turned by the 9/11 attack. These folks can be quite liberal on spending and social issues.
Being a Republican is indeed a Big Tent. And all the one-leg folks will be at CPAC, too. The SoCons, the NeoCons, the Libertarians--all guys who may consistently inhabit only one circle--will be there.
Back to GOProud and Libertarians.
What to do with them?
I remember being at a conference two years ago being exasperated at the naivité of the group of libertarians and an old GOPer said to me, "We need their votes, too."
But CPAC is NOT the Republican party and it's not the Libertarian Political Action Conference, it's an ideological gathering where people work together to form action around Conservative Ideals. The Conservative Political Action Conference brings together all those who have disparate conservative principles; activists, who gather information, share information, and act on that information.
Some folks don't get on the agenda. In fact, Pamela Geller missed being on the agenda in years past because the topic of Islamism in America and around the world was too un-PC. She rented a room and had overflowing crowds anyway.
Some folks get into the conference that some others don't like. I could list some organizations that I'm not fond of who've been regular CPAC attenders. No matter, in the war of ideas, the truth always wins.
For those irritated by the Gay Marriage idea being allowed in the tent, isn't it time to do something at the event to convince the attendees of the value of Traditional Marriage? If a session such as that isn't allowed on the agenda, isn't that a big enough idea to rent a conference room and speak on it? The fact is, the Value Voters Summit speaks to one leg of the tent. It is, in a sense, preaching to the choir.
The conservative movement swings. And different issues come to the fore depending on the circumstances. It is not being overly dramatic to believe that America faces a dire fiscal crisis and it is the defining issue for the next two years. That doesn't mean all other issues are irrelevant. It just means that fiscal conservatism is at the fore.
Since Libertarians occupy the fiscal conservatism circle, they're getting more attention and validation than they've had in years. Being that many of them are so annoying on other issues, it can be grating to have them be center stage when they aren't conservative in any other meaningful way. Still, that doesn't mean that some ideas that had been out in libertarian land aren't now mainstream conservative ideas--auditing the Fed comes to mind, cutting whole government departments comes to mind. Ideas that were once unthinkable are now at least being considered. How do we put these fiscally conservative ideas into practice?
I'm sure you see where I'm going with this...
The answer to the question about whether Libertarians should be at CPAC..is well, yes, they should be there. And so should GOProud. They have every right to try and convince people of their ideas. The Conservative world is not the Borg. It is not some monolithic hive-mind like the Left enjoys. There are debates and the circles expand and constrict.
The fiscally conservative circle was nearly non-existent for years. I'm glad it's back. I hope it can make a difference policy-wise and through concrete legislation.
And I hope social conservatives don't abandon CPAC. I have strong reservations about identity politics in conservative thought. In fact, I'm pretty sure identity-politics are antithetical to conservatism as a philosophy. Still, we need to reach more minority voters and convince them of conservatism. How do we do that and not balkanize conservatism?
That's a real discussion that must be had. And CPAC is just the place to have it.

May 3, 1926 – June 1, 2014
SAN ANTONIO (AP) – Emmy-winning actress Ann B. Davis, who became the country's favorite and most famous housekeeper as the devoted Alice Nelson of "The Brady Bunch," died Sunday at a San Antonio hospital. She was 88.
Bexar County, Texas, medical examiner's investigator Sara Horne said Davis died Sunday morning at University Hospital. Horne said no cause of death was available and that an autopsy was planned today.
Bill Frey, a retired bishop and a longtime friend of Davis, said she suffered a fall Saturday at her San Antonio home and never recovered. Frey said Davis had lived with him and his wife, Barbara, since 1976.
Producer Sherwood Schwartz's "The Brady Bunch" debuted in 1969 and aired for five years. But like Schwartz's other hit, "Gilligan's Island," it has lived on in reruns and sequels.
As "The Brady Bunch" theme song reminded viewers each week, the Bradys combined two families into one. Florence Henderson played a widow raising three daughters when she met her TV husband, Robert Reed, a widower with three boys.
In her blue and white maid's uniform, Davis' character, Alice Nelson, was constantly cleaning up messes large and small, and she was a mainstay of stability for the Brady family. Davis' face occupied the center square during the show's opening credits.
"I'm shocked and saddened! I've lost a wonderful friend and colleague," Henderson said in a statement Sunday.
"The Brady Bunch" had a successful run until 1974, but it didn't die then. It returned as "The Brady Bunch Hour" (1977), "The Brady Brides" (1981) and "The Bradys" (1990). It even appeared as a Saturday morning spinoff (1972-1974).
"The Brady Bunch Movie," with Shelley Long and Gary Cole as the parents, was a surprise box-office hit in 1995. It had another actress as Alice, but Davis appeared in a bit part as a trucker. It was followed the next year – without Davis – by a less successful "A Very Brady Sequel."
Older TV viewers remember Davis for another non-glamorous role, on "The Bob Cummings Show," also known as "Love That Bob." She played Schultzy, the assistant to Cummings' character, a photographer always chasing beautiful women. It brought Davis supporting actress Emmy Awards in 1958 and 1959.
She was born Ann Bradford Davis in Schenectady, N.Y., and grew up in Erie, Pa. She said she took to using her middle initial because "just plain Ann Davis goes by pretty fast."
She was stage-struck since the age of 6 when she and her twin sister, Harriet, earned $2 with their puppet show. She attended the University of Michigan, joking that she was a premed student "until I discovered chemistry."
She graduated in 1948 with a degree in theater and later joined a repertory theater in Erie, Pa. She told the Associated Press in 1993 that she got her big break while doing a cabaret act in Los Angeles, singing and telling jokes.
"Somebody said, 'Get your agent to call the new Bob Cummings show. They're looking for a funny lady.' Within three hours I had the job. That was January 1955. I had such fun with that show.
"I did a couple of pilots that didn't sell, a few movies and one year of nightclub work, which I hated. Then I did the pilot of 'The Brady Bunch' and never had to do another nightclub."
For many years after "The Brady Bunch" wound up, Davis led a quiet religious life, affiliating herself with a group led by Frey.
Davis never married, saying she never found a man who was more interesting than her career. "By the time I started to get interested (in finding someone)," she told the Chicago Sun-Times, "all the good ones were taken."

Discussion in 'Great Lakes' started by yeahnatenelson, Sep 16, 2012.
I just called the woodmans and they said they haven't gotten it in yet fyi
That loud screeching sound is cars making sudden U-Turns Southbound on 94.
^ haha yea, I'm pissed though because nowhere around here seems to have gotten it yet. The only place that even gave me a date said maybe by Wednesday. I cant wait that long!!!
Just picked up an entire case at New Glarus Beer Depot. We were there for a hard hat tour and sampled some as well!!
can't wait to crack this open!
Is that a testament to how good it is?
Do tell, what does it taste like?
My guy says Serendipity next week (ish). Likely Friday delivery for him. Cherry is running thin on stock here as well.
It is here and it is fantastic! No real sourness, but not as sweat as the other fruits. The question now is how MANY cases!
I agree with Pickles here. Not really sour, definitely tart though. And the fruit is way more complex than in the Belgian Red or Raspberry Tart. Both of those are very one dimensional in the fruit flavors IMO. For this one, you can taste All three but the are very much integrated.
Ohh black wax, I like, I like. I will see you soon sweetie.
Had a sample - I agree it's a good stand-in for Belgian Red and the cranberries bring a nice tartness. If you like Belgian Red, Cranbic, and/or Apple Ale this is a great fruit beer. Perfect for the Thanksgiving table.
However, given that for the same price I can pick up a 4 pack of Enigma which is almost double the volume of beer and considerably more complex, I'll be taking home the Enigma every time until supplies run out.
New Glarus posted about Serendipity on their facebook.
How does it compare to Enigma in terms of sour character?
Looking to trade for some of this guys. Don't mean to request a trade here but I'm just looking for some info. Price and availability is what I'm mostly interested in. I'll make my official request where it's more appropriate. Thanks for the help.
I didn't think it was sour, but very tart, similar to the Raspberry Tart.
Nothing like it. Some will not like this beer but, only because they are expecting a sour. This if a fruit beer and not a sour no matter what the desc says.
still no official review up, cmon guys! What color does this bad boy pour? I hope this hits my area tomorrow
Plenty of Belgian Red available at B & B Beverage in Wind Lake, WI. Serendipity landing today
Ottos on Oakland ave. should have this sometime this week. Have only about 2 cases left of Belgian Red, and a bunch of Enigma cases left even a couple Saisons.
Bought a case today and just had my first glass. Absolutely delicious. Hope it gets brewed again next year.

Since 2007, 63 former campers have been added to the officiating rosters of the Big Ten Conference, Mid-American Conference and the Summit League. We are committed to identifying, teaching, and developing the next generation of Division I officials.
While other D-I camps provide just a few games in exchange for high tuition costs – we include first-class hotel accommodations, daily buffet breakfasts, clinic sessions, two highly-experienced NCAA Tournament officials on every court, excellent facilities, and the top 17-year old competition in the nation (as evidenced by the hundreds of D-I coaches in attendance).
Please refer to the Session pages above for specific information about each camp, lodging information, and camp location and dates.
As a result of our camps selling out each year, we fill spaces on a first come, first served basis.
This means the Application Form AND Payment for the full tuition, must be received in our office to hold your space at camp.
An email confirmation will be sent from our office confirming your space in camp once all information/payment is received.
