#06–172 July 3, 2006
Hunting, fishing licenses are up for renewal in S.C.
It's time for South Carolina sportsmen and sportswomen to renew their annual hunting and fishing licenses for the 2006-2007 season. Last season's licenses expire on June 30.
The prices of all hunting and fishing licenses for the upcoming 2006-2007 South Carolina hunting season remain the same as last season. A $9 Senior Statewide Hunting and Fishing Lifetime License replaces the old gratis license, which was free for state residents age 65 and above, but residents born on or before July 1, 1940 can still obtain the free gratis license. The new $9 senior license expands benefits for 64-year-old residents.
The S.C. Department of Natural Resources (DNR) sells hunting and fishing licenses at its Columbia headquarters in the Rembert Dennis Building at 1000 Assembly St., DNR field offices statewide and through many retail businesses across the state. Licenses for the upcoming 2006-2007 season went on sale June 16 and are valid immediately after purchase.
South Carolina hunting and fishing licenses expire June 30 of each year. Licenses for the 2006-2007 season may be purchased from about 800 retail stores in South Carolina or from most DNR offices. Also visit the DNR Website http://www.dnr.sc.gov/. Click on "Buy" to purchase a license. You can also purchase a license by telephone 24 hours a day, seven days a week by calling 1-888-434-7472.
"South Carolina has a rich heritage of fishing and hunting," said Sandra Hartley, DNR license sales administrator. "More than a half-million people, including residents and nonresidents, bought fishing and hunting licenses during fiscal year 2005-2006 which generated more than $13 million in revenue for natural resources conservation in the Palmetto State." Federal funds for wildlife and sport fisheries restoration earmarked for South Carolina are based in part on the number of hunting and fishing licenses sold. The funds are generated by excise taxes on hunting and fishing equipment.
Residents and nonresidents age 16 and older must purchase the required licenses to hunt and fish in South Carolina. Anyone born after June 30, 1979, must complete a hunter education course to purchase a hunting license. Residents born on or before July 1, 1940 will still be able to obtain the gratis license, free of charge. State residents born after July 1, 1940 will need to purchase the $9 Senior Statewide Hunting and Fishing lifetime License. The senior lifetime license, for residents age 64 and above, includes privileges that cover not only hunting and fishing licenses and big game permit, but the Wildlife Management Area permit (a $30.50 annual permit), the state duck stamp (a $5.50 annual stamp), and the Saltwater Marine Recreational Fisheries License (a $10 annual license). Applications for Lifetime, Gratis and Disability licenses will be printed in the 2006-2007 "Rules and Regulations" booklet available in August, or individuals may call (803) 734-3833 in Columbia to obtain an application or you can download an application from the DNR Website at http://www.dnr.sc.gov/licensing.html.
"Please note there are some tags/licenses/permits required for specific privileges not covered under the senior license," Hartley said. "We encourage people to pick up the new regulations locally from license sales agents at retail stores and DNR field offices statewide beginning the first week of August to save the state mailing and other handling expenses. For questions regarding hunting and fishing licenses call (803) 734-3833 in Columbia."
Copies of the free fishing and hunting regulations booklet "2006-2007 South Carolina Rules & Regulations for Hunting, Fishing & Wildlife Management Areas" will be available beginning the first week of August from the retail businesses that sell licenses and DNR offices.
Sportsmen and sportswomen can access the rules and regulations by visiting the DNR Web site at http://www.dnr.sc.gov/regulations.html. If copies of the booklet are not available from other sources write to: Regulations, PO Box 167, Columbia, S.C. 29202.
"If you plan to participate in specialized nongame fishing activities, tag and permits are available only through the DNR office in Columbia, Charleston, Clemson and Florence," Hartley said. "Call (803) 734-3833 for an application. Don't wait to purchase the required permits at the last minute before a fishing trip."

RE: George Schnepp
We tried to see who he was buried next to, but came up with nothing! There was a very small stone (maybe 6"x6") that had what looked to be A C E but that was all...it appeared to be about the same age as his marker.

He is buried in an as "you need a grave" area. About 50% of the graves do not have marker.
The graves on each side of his marker have no markers. I'll put it up later.

I searched for your loved one yesterday. This cemetery is enormous. There are about 21,000 burials here. If you look at the photos for this cemetery, there is a map and you will see names of different sections. Each section has upward of 400 plots in it. If you could get the name of the section it would help. I don't have a map of plots and when I go there the office is hardly ever open so I can't access the map inside the office. I will be going back now and then and if you call the office at 816-279-5005 and get a section name and post it on the memorial page, someone should have a better chance of finding the marker. Directions or a location within the section could help as well. The office personnel don't want a person like me asking for the locations of a whole bunch of people....they just don't have time for it all at once.
I hope this will help you find your loved one.

I have posted a copy of her death certificate. The cemetery where she is buried will only provide grave locations to family members. Please contact the office to obtain plot information and add it to the memorial page and/or your photo request, so that the volunteer photographer can find the grave marker for you. The office can be reached at 901-767-8930 or 888-943-7275. Ask for Paul Campbell.

Breast Milk
Image Caption : Mother with Visible Cardiovascular System. When a mother's digestive system breaks down food nutrients are absorbed into her bloodstream. The nutrients travel to capillaries in the breast tissue where they are taken up by lactocytes (milk-producing cells) and repackaged into breast milk.
Breast Milk
Baby's Nutrition Begins with You
Energy Demands of Breastfeeding
Infant nutrition begins with the food a mother ingests. A healthy diet is important for expecting mothers as the fetus grows and develops. And while women are advised that they are not, in fact, "eating for two," doctors and dietitians do encourage expectant moms to make sure their vitamin, mineral, protein, and calorie needs are being met.
The importance of good nutrition for new mothers continues after the baby's birth, as the mother's body transforms nutrients from her diet into breast milk. Although 9 months of pregnancy can require between 80,000 and 120,000 additional calories, breastfeeding for the same amount of time can burn up twice that. According to Susan Tucker Blackburn inMaternal, Fetal, & Neonatal Physiology,"For the healthy, well-nourished lactating woman, an additional 500 [calories per day] is recommended to meet the energy requirements for milk production during the first 6 months of lactation." The good news is that "approximately 170 kcal of the increased requirements are provided by maternal fat stores from pregnancy."
It may seem astonishing that lactation is more demanding in terms of energy than pregnancy, but whereas for much of gestation the fetus is tiny, weighing just ounces, a lactating mother can be producing more than 3 cups of milk daily to fuel the growth and development of an infant whose birth weight of 7 lbs or so can double in just 4 months.
Meals to Milk
The first step in the remarkable transformation of raw ingredients, whether they are bananas, burgers, or broccoli, into mother's milk takes place in the mouth. Food is chewed and enzymes in saliva begin to break down the components. The stomach continues the physical and chemical disassembly of food by churning it and mixing it with powerful digestive juices that turn the meal into a milkshake-like slurry of tiny food particles and gastric liquid called chyme.
From the stomach, chyme passes to the small intestine. With the help of bile, hormones, and additional enzymes from the pancreas and intestinal epithelium, it is ready to be absorbed. The small intestine is lined with folds covered with tiny fingerlike projections called villi. The villi are covered with even smaller projections called microvilli. These structures produce a vast surface area through which nutrients are absorbed. Specialized cells in the microvilli allow nutrients to cross the membrane and enter the bloodstream, where they will be carried to the breasts to be repackaged into milk.
Through Thick or Thin
We know that not all diets are created equal. That goes for kids, adults, and also lactating women. And of course healthier maternal diets will translate into healthier mothers and healthier infants, just as healthier diets translate into healthier children and healthier adults. In evolutionary terms, however, lactation is so critically important that nature has made it a particularly robust and resilient biological process. How else would humankind have survived through lean times?
Physiologically, milk production is a compromise between the needs of the mother and needs of the infant. In times of scarcity, a mother's body will tap her owns stores of fat and nutrients to ensure the survival of her infant. The baby's nutritional needs have priority. It's a fine balance, of course, since the well-being of the infant is also dependent on the well-being of the mother.
This doesn't mean lactating women today should be indifferent to diet. But what the resiliency of lactation means in the real world, says Bo Lönnerdal, is that a woman living in poverty and on a restricted diet in Africa can still produce breast milk comparable to that produced by an affluent and well-fed woman in Sweden. "Very, very nice studies have looked at Gambian women in rural villages with very restricted food intake and the quality of their breast milk is excellent."
This is true with many important ingredients, says Lonnerdal. For example, "a woman with malnutrition can produce breast milk with adequate and normal concentrations of protein." Severe deficiencies, though, particularly with some vitamins, can result in breast milk that is also deficient in those vitamins. Calcium, too, can vary with diet. It all depends on the specific nutrient or vitamin. Diet can indeed affect breast milk, but not always in a completely clearcut manner. There is also natural variation in breast milk.
"Some of the minerals found in breast milk are very tightly controlled," says Sharon Donovan, "such as iron and zinc, and these are very hard to change in milk. Because their levels are very well regulated in the mammary gland, these components are very stable."
Iron is a good example of how the mother's body regulates the concentration of key ingredients, says Lonnerdal. "An anemic woman in India or Ethiopia would have exactly the same breast milk iron levels as a woman in Sweden or Finland consuming 60-100 mg of iron every day. Exactly the same. No difference. Because the mammary gland tightly regulates this and makes sure that breast milk contains precisely the amount of iron that infants need."
And that's good for an infant of a woman in India as well as an infant in Finland. "If iron levels rose with diet," explains Lönnerdal, "it could be detrimental to the infant because iron is not an innocent nutrient; iron in excess can have negative consequences. In addition, there are few or no menstrual losses of iron during lactation. But if iron in breast milk fell in response to diet, the infant would be iron deficient and anemic, so that wouldn't be good. The mammary gland, therefore, is set to this very, very narrow window in order to meet the needs of the breastfed infant." By 6 months, however, the baby does need additional iron, which is supplied in solid foods.
Lönnerdal points out that "a severely anemic woman would be tapping stores in her own body, so her situation worsens. On the other hand, very little iron is required in breast milk, so the additional loss in that case may not be dramatic. But it's very obvious that the priority is definitely on making breast milk with adequate iron rather than covering the mother's own dire needs at this time." So while infants can be thankful that evolution has made lactation as bulletproof as possible, a healthy diet should still clearly be a priority for all pregnant and lactating women.
Ingredients May Vary
Sources of Variation
That breast milk composition is not uniform was brought home very clearly to Sharon Donovan when she was still in school. "When I was a grad student, we'd collect breast milk samples and bring them into the lab for analysis. When you spin breast milk in a centrifuge in the cold, all of the fat rises to the top. In samples from some women, the fat layer was thick; it looked like the lard on the outside of a steak. In other women you could almost just pour it off, like corn oil."
The underlying reasons for that sort of variation were reviewed in a United Nations report. "There are several factors that are known to influence the concentration of breast milk constituents in predictable ways," explains the report. "These include stage of lactation; breastfeeding routine; parity, age, and other maternal characteristics; regional differences; and, in some situations, season of the year and maternal diet." The reason it is important to better understand this variation, of course, is because "differences in breast milk composition affect the daily intakes of milk components by the breastfed child."
One factor that influences milk composition in some parts of the world is season. "In sub-Sahelian Africa," according to the UN report, "where food availability, infection rates, farm work, and childcare patterns vary between seasons, variations in the concentrations of some constituents, such as fat, immunoproteins, and water-soluble vitamins, have been observed." An example of a seasonal effect in this region can be found in the relative concentration of vitamin C in breast milk: levels are high during the season when mangoes are plentiful but low for the rest of the year.
An important point made by the UN report is that, overall, "the similarities between regions are more striking than the differences, particularly with respect to the major nutrients."This doesn't mean all the differences are negligible, but rather, that the amount of variation within any given population is likely to be larger than the amount of difference between one region and another region. Significant variation among individuals, rather than populations, seems to be the rule.
There are still many reasons, however, to study both the similarities and differences in breast milk around the globe. "I've been involved in studies where they've picked nine different regions in the world and looked at the composition of breast milk," says Bo Lönnerdal, "and it turns out to be very similar when it comes to most of the components." But looking at what components do vary, and why, can be a rich source of information on the genetic, cultural, and environmental factors that influence breast milk. Tracking mothers' dietary intake and infant health also provides information that can be used to improve the well-being of both mothers and babies worldwide.
Role of Genetics
Researchers are coming to believe that genetics could be playing a significant role in breast milk variation. But, as Lönnerdal notes, "I think we need to be clear about the distinction between genetics and ethnicity." And that can be tricky. "It's very difficult to disassociate them because different ethnic groups have different dietary habits, but I haven't seen anything that would convince me that breast milk from, say, Hmong women in California would be different from Caucasian women in California if they had identical dietary habits."
Lönnerdal, who has also studied zinc deficiencies in breastfed infants, believes that new (and increasingly inexpensive) genetic screening tools will help researchers better understand the origin of much breast milk variation. "We have found that some women produce breast milk that is extremely low in zinc. It's the only thing that is abnormal; everything else is fine as far as we can judge. And we know it is a genetic anomaly. I think this is uncommon, but how uncommon is it? We don't know."
Genetics can influence the composition of breast milk through an uncommon mutation, but genetics may sometimes play a broader role. An example of this sort of genetic variation in breast milk involves the oligosaccharides that help support infants' immune systems. There are about 200 different known oligosaccharides in human milk, and one individual's milk can contain anywhere from a few dozen to more than 100. It turns out that different oligosaccharides protect the infant from different pathogens. So an infant who receives one type of oligosaccharide in breast milk may be protected against one type of pathogen, but not another.
While oligosaccharide profiles don't strictly reflect geography (they are actually closely tied to blood group types), recent studies, says Donovan, have shown some interesting regional variation. "If you go to Mexico, for example, you see that the women there are creating oligosaccharides that are a little different than women elsewhere. So it does seem that women in different areas of the world have different oligosaccharide patterns." But, again, there is also substantial variation within a given population in Mexico.
A type of variation in breast milk composition that is strongly geographical is the mother's production of antibodies, immune factors that help fight pathogens. All infants receive antibodies in breast milk, but it's particularly interesting that each infant receives antibodies to the organisms the mom actually encounters, and these can be very local. As a result, the antibodies a woman produces in Sri Lanka will be different than those a mother produces in Boston or San Francisco. In this way, breast milk "knows" which germs are likely to threaten the infant and arms that baby with the right immune defenses. Pretty smart.
Add to this mix the fact that a breastfed infant is exposed to the flavors and spices of the local cuisine the mom is eating, and what you have, in physiological terms, are babies who "know" where they are living long before they can ever send a postcard.
Breastfeeding and Breast Milk: Condition Information
Breastfeeding, also called nursing, is the process of feeding human breast milk to an infant, either directly from the breast or by expressing (pumping out) the milk from the breast and bottle-feeding it to the infant. Breastfeeding and breast milk provide an infant with essential calories and nutrients.
According to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) Policy Statement on Breastfeeding, women who don't have health problems should exclusively breastfeed their infants for at least the first 6 months of life.
The AAP suggests that a woman should try to breastfeed her infant for the first 12 months of life because of the benefits to both the mother and the infant.
Although breastfeeding is the recommended method for feeding infants, and breast milk provides most of the nutrients an infant needs, it does not provide infants with adequate vitamin D.4 The current AAP-recommended daily vitamin D intake is 400 IU per day for all infants and children beginning from the first few days of life.5 Human breast milk contains a vitamin D concentration of 25 IU per liter (about 4 cups) or less. Therefore, to meet the 400 IU daily requirement, supplementation is required.
Breast milk is the milk produced by the breasts (or mammary glands) of a human female to feed a child. Milk is the primary source of nutrition for newborns before they are able to eat and digest other foods; older infants and toddlers may continue to be breastfed, either exclusively or in combination with other foods from around six months of age when solid foods may be introduced.

My yard has a lot of weeds but my kids can't tolerate Roundup and other such stuff.
You know of some organic harmless way to kill weeds?
I was thinking of getting a goat. I heard goats can even eat poison ivy. Would neighbors mind? Is it legal in Pleasanton? I can also help neighbors with the goat for weeding by renting or for free.
P.S. I am new to the neighborhood

Organic? Sure -- bend over, grab weed, pull, throw out. Duh! Get your kids off the couch and away from their texting and have them help.
Why does everyone in this town think they need to pay for a health club membership but they are too lazy to actually do anything that resembles work? Oh it might ruin your manicure I guess.

I tell my people to contact a weed removal crew to come in and remove them for me. (Undocumenteds usually do the best job and they don't charge as much.) JUst call me the job creator that I am, trying to cope with Obama's obsession with raising my taxes.

It's a shame a person posts something and then has to deal with getting jumped on, or with extreme sarcasm.
I don't know how large your property is. If it's small-ish, I agree with the idea of resident - why not all go out and work on pulling them? Or, there are "weed whackers".
I'm not sure about goats...if you are considering them then your property must be very large. There are municipal codes online that you could research.
If it were me, I'd get the family together with various tools to get rid of the weeds & then plant something that will discourage more weeds.

Is there some special tool or technique that I can get to pull up those dandelion weeds without breaking the roots? Those things are really tough.

I found this on Amazon, but it is unavailable.

Anyone had any luck pulling these things?

"You know of some organic harmless way to kill weeds?"
I think that if there was some such convenient way to kill weeds we would have all heard about it and the companies that make chemical weed killers would be all out of business. All I do is pull out weeds when I see them. That's enough if you already have a fairly good grass lawn since grass is apparently already a pretty good competitor against weeds. If your lawn is completely overgrown with weeds, you may just have to kill all the plants by "solarizing" the lawn and start over.
As for pulling up weeds without breaking the roots, I usually do my weed pulling when the lawn and soil are wet because the roots seem to be easier to pull out then.

Yeah but then when you pull em up they spray up wet dirt in your face. I hate that.

unclehomerr.. adds - so will fire. Get a butane torch and destroy all you can reach after pulling the above ground growth. Maybe vinegar 'and' fire!

"...so will fire."
Actually, as I'm sure unclehomer knows, just drinking a lot of beer and peeing on the weeds will also work. The excess nitrogen in urine can cause yellowing or browning of grass or weeds. Dog owners are probably familiar with the effect.
Still, commercial chemical weed killers are probably a lot more effective than urine or vinegar or goats or butane torches.

Old UnleHomerr had a neighbor, EE-I-EE-I-O.
And on that liberal's lawn he had to pee, EE-I-EE-I-O.
With a pee pee here and a pee pee there
Here a pee, there a pee, everywhere a pee pee

Man with machete near school not arrested
Police found man with machete across the street from Cheyenne Mountain Charter Academy.
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Police say a man was showing off a machete near a Colorado Springs school, but he wasn't arrested.
It happened on Tuesday (2/11/13) on Wahsatch near Nevada outside Cheyenne Mountain Charter Academy when students were leaving school.
The school sent a letter Tuesday night to parents letting them know about the incident. Police say the man was never on school grounds, but parents are still worried.
Cheyenne Mountain Charter Academy parents and staff are keeping a close eye on their children.
"You shouldn't be allowed near, that close to the school with a weapon like that," said parent Danielle Walker.
The school says someone noticed a suspicious man across the street minutes before students were released on Tuesday. They asked the man to leave. Police say he pulled out a machete.
"For this neighborhood, it's seems kind of average, every day something that would happen," said neighbor Robert Muntt.
The officer on campus for after-school traffic and the school resource officer made sure the man left the area. Then, they called for backup.
"That was a key piece in our response here," said Mullaney.
Students were released about 10 minutes later. The man with a machete showed up again.
When police first saw the man, he was in a shopping center parking lot near the school, but by the time officers turned around they were able to stop and talk to the man at a mobile home parking lot across the street from the school.
Police say the man did not break any laws by having a machete out in the open and he was not on school grounds, but parent Danielle Walker says he was too close.
"The elementary students, they are walking home or across the street or they're walking from the school with no adult supervision. And it just makes you worry when there are people like that wondering around across the street," said Walker.
However, the school insists there was no need to worry.
"He had never been on school property, but had even moved out of the area and we had a uniformed Colorado Springs Police Officer right there. So the threat had moved away," said Mullaney.

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
Without the services of center Marc Savard, the Bruins marched forward on Tuesday night as they continue their pitiful push toward the playoffs. Savard, arguably the best player on the team, will likely be out the rest of the season with a serious Grade 2 concussion after a hit at the hands of Pittsburgh's Matt Cooke on Sunday.
Mark Recchi did his best Savard impersonation, playing parts in all three Bruins goals on Tuesday. He scored in the first period, and then assisted on goals in the second and third, but the defense (and goaltending) couldn't hold off the punchless Leafs in a 4-3 loss in overtime.
Marco Sturm (in the 2nd) and Patrice Bergeron (in the 3rd) scored the other goals for the Bruins, who fired a total of 29 shots at Leafs goalie Jonas Gustavsson.
"We stopped moving our feet and being hard on the forecheck," Bergeron said. "We were hard on their defensemen early and had success, but then we got away from that."
Toronto, meanwhile, was powered by two second period goals, and a tying goal in the third by Luca Caputi. Nikolai Kulemin knocked in his 13th goal of the year four minutes into overtime for the game-winning goal against Tim Thomas. Overall, Thomas was decent, finishing with 26 saves.
Former Bruin Phil Kessel continued to struggle against his former team, but he did pick up an assist. It was his first point in five games against Boston.
The Bruins dominated the game from blue line to blue line, winning face-offs by a 33-21 margin. With that type of an advantage, you'd think the Bruins would be able to launch more than 29 shots on goal in three periods and an overtime. Savard's loss will truly be painful, as he could have been the difference in Tuesday's game.
Next up for the B's is a date with the Flyers on Thursday.

England were today heading for a famous victory in India. Before the sun set on the VCA Stadium they had reduced their opponents' first innings almost to tatters and established a position of enviable control in the Fourth Test.
Three wickets for Jimmy Anderson (above), including that of Sachin Tendulkar for a record ninth time in Tests, complemented a notable maiden Test innings by Joe Root, whose knock of 73 made his selection seem one of the most inspired in recent history.
By the close India had reached 87 for four in reply to England's first innings of 330 all out, still well adrift and needing to push the throttle if they are to have the remotest chance of the win they need to square the series.
Root, the unexpected debutant, planted himself firmly to the spot in the early part of the second day.
His steadfast innings hardly lit up the match but it gave the tourists precious runs on a pitch not offering them lightly and the important commodity of breathing space.
Anderson built on that foundation with a typically vigorous exhibition of smart swing bowling.
He bowled the dangerous Virender Sehwag with a beauty which swung in and moved away in his first over and returned to remove Tendulkar with one that cannoned into the stumps off an inside edge.
It was hard to dispel the feeling that Anderson, who has now taken Tendulkar's wicket more than any other bowler in Tests, might also have terminated the Indian batsman's stellar career.
When Anderson ended Gautam Gambhir's hesitant stay with a ball slanting across him, India were in deep trouble and their unbeaten home record, which stretches back eight years, under distinct pressure.
England could hardly have expected more than they managed and following Root's superb effort, aided and abetted by the lower order, it was their day. The pitch is slow but is still providing little encouragement for any bowlers and given the lack of pace, bounce and turn it can hardly improve.
There is time for matters to develop but pre-match warnings that the surface would contain a toxic combination of snakes and crocodiles, albeit metaphorical, appear to have been an exaggeration.
For Root, it was a memorable day despite being deprived of the 27 runs that would have given him a hundred in his first Test innings. His selection for the match took all observers by surprise considering he was brought on this tour as a spare opener and had played in only one of the three warm-up matches in which he made 28 and 24.
Yet from the moment he walked out at the VCA Stadium on the first evening he looked the part and marshalled England's innings from a potentially precarious state of 139 for five.
It was an outstanding effort and his refusal to be flustered at any point, as well as the fact that he offered no chance whatever until he was dismissed, marked out a player who may well be Yorkshire's latest durable contribution to England's batting ranks.
He was given excellent support by Matt Prior and Graeme Swann, who also contributed half-centuries.
Beginning the day at 199 for five, Root and Prior took the less glamorous route. They worked out that if they stayed runs would accrue, slowly perhaps but definitely.
Prior was the more adventurous and reached his 30th Test score above 50 with a square cut for four.
Root followed not long after and one measure of his stoicism lay in the statistic that it contained only two fours.
Another was that he became the first man to face 200 balls in his maiden Test innings since Andrew Strauss made 112 from 215 in 2004.
Before lunch Prior was bowled playing down the wrong line to Ravi Ashwin and Tim Bresnan was dismissed lbw by Ishant Sharma almost immediately afterwards.
Nobody was quite sure what an adequate total was but 242 for seven was probably not it. Swann, as he has done for most of this series, batted with great good sense, driving off the front foot when the ball was there for it but otherwise biding his time.
Root continued doing things his own way, pushing singles, glancing, nudging and defending properly.
He had made barely a false move of any kind when he executed a drive at the leg spin of Piyush Chawla without sufficient conviction and gave a waist high return catch. He had batted for almost five hours, faced 229 balls and hit only four of them for four.
Swann had time to reach his first Test half-century for almost three years but ended an impeccable cameo with an over-confident reverse sweep to which he was out lbw.
England had a rousing start when Anderson's third ball pierced Sehwag's defence and removed the middle stump. If they were not sure they were on top before they knew it then.
We apologise to all cricket fans as we are unable to print live pictures from today's play. This paper, along with other British media groups, is not publishing any live pictures from the Fourth Test in protest at the Indian cricket board's refusal to grant access to certain major picture agencies which we view as a restriction on the freedom of the press.

Grey Cup Festival: Justin Bieber, Carly Rae Jepsen Set To Score Musical Touchdowns
In the last two days there've been reports of cowboys and cowgirls riding horses through the streets of Toronto and trying to invade hotels along with groups of shirtless men who've painted themselves blue and are wandering around bellowing at the top of their lungs.
This isn't some performance artist's interpretation of the apocalypse. Rather, the 100th edition of the Grey Cup, the Canadian Football League's championship game, has taken over the city and with it a traveling party of epic proportions has swept in.
The Grey Cup finale between the hometown Toronto Argonauts and Calgary Stampeders takes place Sunday, Nov. 25 at the Rogers Centre ( 6 p.m. ET on TSN) and the half-time show will feature Justin Bieber, Gordon Lightfoot, Carly Rae Jepsen and Marianas Trench. The pre-game show will showcase The Guess Who's Burton Cummings and Kathleen Edwards.
More importantly, every one of the eight teams in the CFL will be hosting wild parties as part of the Grey Cup Festival over the weekend and bringing in marquee bands to perform.
K'naan, Kardinal Offishall, Matthew Good, Sam Roberts Band, Our Lady Peace, Classified, Zeus, Fefe Dobson and quintessentially Canadian rock acts like Kim Mitchell, Treble Charger, April Wine, Big Sugar, Chilliwack, Platinum Blonde and a pile more will be playing across nightly free street parties and/or ticketed events.
We like parties and music AND sports, so we took a closer look at some of the musicians playing and tried to figure out what songs of theirs would work best to rock thousands of psyched up football fans.
All of Our Lady Peace's music seems perfectly suited to slow motion montages of giant athletes engaged in action, but the idea of a "One Man Army" single-handedly willing his team to victory has a particularly romantic appeal on the eve of the Grey Cup.
Reggae rapper Kardinal Offishall has always been a strong supporter of his hometown and its teams so there's zero doubt he'd want his love song about Toronto "The Anthem" in play during the rarest of occasions -- a professional T.O. sports franchise potentially winning something.
Hello, Long Bomb. This one's a gimme.
We've always known Sam Roberts as more of a hockey and surfing kinda guy, but "With a Bullet" will serve in a pinch to illustrate the pass-happy offense CFL quarterbacks are known for.
We were really hoping someone on the Toronto or Calgary roster had the name "Edmund" or "Fitzgerald" so that whenever they got tackled we could yell "Man, Edmund got wrecked!" and start humming the song. Sadly, there's nobody. Keep that one in your back pocket for the future.
People from across the country have been partying non-stop for a week leading up to the big game. There's going to come a moment when someone's going to need to switch out the booze for pop.
In a different world where this song isn't about a gay hookup (see the official video) "Call Me Maybe" is the theme song to the sadly ignored second string kicker hoping, praying he'll get the coach's attention and get in there for the big game.
K'naan's confessional song from his Troubabour album about being out of cash and waiting on a Western Union money transfer is pretty much the opposite of sporting glory. Still, entering into the fourth quarter of the 100th edition Grey Cup has got to be similarly anxious for the players in the last 15 minutes of the game.
Let's be honest, there's not much that's particularly "football" about Justin Bieber besides a wide receiver's prance and maybe, in a mega-stretch, the steam-punk gear he wears in the "Santa Claus is Coming to Town (Arthur Christmas Version)" video being a little like football gear.
This one's more of a future pick because economists predict Saskatoon would make a good CFL expansion city... in 2035.

What is Social Science?
"Social science" is a term whose origin can be traced back to early efforts to classify the sciences, dividing them into the philosophy of science and three branches (natural sciences, social sciences and the formal sciences). The sciences and related STEM disciplines constitute a major portion of curriculum of contemporary universities. The term "social science" was itself was accepted into contemporary academe at the emergence in the first half of the 19th century.
The social sciences encompass multiple fields of scholarship, research and professional preparation. While debate about 'the definitive list' is endless in any system of classification, the social sciences have in common three basic components: i) a shared history; ii) a commitment to the use of scientific methods; and iii) a focus upon aspects of human nature. Social science research focuses upon the study of societies, cultures, social organizations and the behavior and mind of individuals. Social science disciplines are cornerstones of academic journals, professional organizations and academic institutions to which practitioners belong.
At the conceptual level, social sciences overlap with but are distinguishable from i) behavioral sciences, ii) organizational sciences and iii) cognitive or information sciences. Each of these constructs historically emerged subsequent to the recognition of the social sciences even as the nature of scholarship and scientific inquiry, social systems and academe have evolved.
Common to nearly all definitions of the social sciences are sociology, anthropology, communications, economics, history, political science and psychology. More inclusive lists have included disciplines as varied as journalism, jurisprudence, law, education, geography, linguistics, criminology, developmental studies, and demography. At the heart of debates about the boundaries of all scientific disciplines are the basic questions of 1) when does inquiry become scientific investigation; and 2) when does applied research become 'action research'? These debates invigorate research and teaching in the social sciences.

Social Science Professor Ken Elliott Invests Expertise in Gen Ed, Reaccreditation Work
As a veteran member of the Social Science program at the University of Maine at Augusta, Professor of Psychology Ken Elliott has been involved for many years in the development of general education standards and the organization of reaccreditation efforts at UMA. In the 2016-2017 academic year, Professor Elliott is investing his considerable expertise in guidance for future generations at the University and in expert review for another institution.
Over the summer, Professor Elliott has completed work on a report reviewing student perceptions of Gen Ed at UMA. He indicates that the experience has led him to change his teaching methods and he hopes the report will encourage the Senate and its relevant committees to review UMA's current approach to developing and assessing Gen Ed at UMA. Among other recommendations, he advocates for student memberships on the UMA Gen Ed committee.
Professor Elliott is also engaged in studying new NEASC standards in anticipation of being a member of a site visiting team. In October of 2016 the team will be visiting an institution seeking reaccreditation, Charter Oaks State College in Connecticut. Charter Oaks is a school of 900 students with an emphasis on distance education in the state of Connecticut. Professor Elliott looks forward to the opportunity to apply his knowledge regarding NEASC standards to the benefit of a sister institution.
In New Book, Social Science Professor tells Teens: "I'm Rooting For You."
Before she was a psychologist, a researcher, and a professor, Dr. Laura Kati Corlew was a troubled teen who poured her heart into her poetry. Dr. Corlew's new book, a Song from Silence (poetry from when I was young), contains a selection of these writings, addressing topics like identity development, depression and suicide, love and heartbreak, and gender, sex, and sexuality. Sometimes incisive and beautiful, sometimes clumsy and cringe-worthy, the poems reveal the honest struggles of an adolescent and young adult seeking to find herself when she is lost, seeking to redeem herself when she feels damned, and seeking to survive when there seems no point in life.
Interspersed throughout are passages of commentary in which the adult psychologist remembers and analyzes her life as "a former at-risk youth." Dr. Corlew defines terms and concepts from developmental psychology and explores how developmental themes common in Adolescence (~age 12 to 18) and Emerging Adulthood (~age 18 to 25) are illustrated in her young writings. She discusses memories of emotions and experiences from her high school and college years. Any young person trying to make it through or any adult trying to make sense of what they once survived will appreciate the bald honesty and compassionate clarity found in this book.
Professor Corlew will appear at the Nottage Library on UMA's Bangor campus at Noon on Tuesday, September 20 2016 and at the Katz Library on UMA's Augusta campus at Noon on Thursday, September 22 2016 for book talks at which she will read and sing from her book and discuss the poem's relation to developmental psychology. Copies of the book will be available for sale, and Professor Corlew will be happy to sign copies.
Social Science pairs with Art in New UMA Travel Course "Cuba: Culture + Change"
The Social Science program at UMA may have a home in Maine, but we are citizens of the world. In a move to strengthen our program's global connections, Associate Professor of Social Science Lorien Lake-Corral worked with Associate Professor of Art Robert Rainey to develop and deploy a new travel course — Cuba: Culture + Change — in the Spring semester of 2016. Full details regarding the course are available at UMACuba.com.
This six-credit course combined credits in Art and Social Science and brought together a group of UMA students, faculty and staff for an intense academic experience. The group prepared intellectually and practically before traveling to Cuba, visiting historic sites, experiencing Cuban culture and placing it in social context. While there, they also made a point to follow the historic footsteps of the President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama, who had traveled to the country in a historic visit the week before.
The practical experience of travel to Cuba at a historically and culturally unique moment provided an opportunity for students to take the words of Clifford Geertz, finding culture in action:
"Believing, with Max Weber, that man is an animal suspended in webs of significance he himself has spun, I take culture to be those webs, and the analysis of it to be therefore not an experimental science in search of law but an interpretive one in search of meaning."
~Clifford Geertz, The Interpretation of Cultures (1973)
Social Science Students Shine at 2016 UMA Interdisciplinary Conference
Social Science majors offered a strong presence at the 2016 University of Maine at Augusta Interdisciplinary Student Conference in April of 2016. The presentations of these students reflected a renewed emphasis on student research in the Social Science Program curricula and included work completed as part of a class, in conjunction with faculty research activities, or as independent projects. They also reflect the significant organizational work of Social Science faculty member Dr. Kati Corlew in conjunction with Professor Sarah Hentges, coordinator of the Interdisciplinary program at the University of Maine at Augusta.
Among social science participants, Junior Emma-Marie Banks described her applied work with fellow undergraduates in the UMA Writing Center, Senior Paul Cote shared his findings and recommendations regarding the history and future of tribal-state relations in Maine, and Dan Oulette presented a model of Interdisciplinary Measures & Designs for Group Dynamics based in part on work in the new Social Science course Cultivating Community (SSC 334). Jason Palmer highlighted findings from two multivariate research projects describing variability in the design of political campaign signs and explaining the expression of happiness over social media. During the conference, a Twitter backchannel discussion was maintained (and can still be reviewed) via the #UMAINT hashtag. The social structure of interactions over #UMAINT was charted during the day using techniques taught in the Social Science program's Social Media Certificate curriculum. The network graph of virtual ties preserves a visual record of stimulating intellectual conversation during the day.
Student Research Conference Coming to UMA Bangor in 2015
Students at the University of Maine at Augusta are carrying out a surprising amount of innovative research. It's time to celebrate that fact.
As part of an ongoing push by the Social Science Program to support student research (in classes, independent study, internships, capstones, and/or with faculty), the Social Science Program will launch a Student Research Conference in the Spring 2015 semester.
The conference theme will be "Celebrating Student Research" and will highlight students who have participated in or conducted research as part of a class, in conjunction with faculty research activities, or as independent projects. Students will be provided an opportunity to present their activities to other students and faculty. This conference will take place on the UMA-Bangor Campus. Students of the Social Science Program as well as all UMA students will be invited to present their research and research skills development and attend to support their peers. Students from the Augusta Campus will be offered transportation to attend at the Bangor campus. A guest speaker will be invited.
As the Spring 2015 semester gets underway, look for updates and a call for participants. For more information, please contact Assistant Professor Kati Corlew (email@example.com).

A Swiss couple who paid hundreds of dollars to renew their wedding vows in the Maldives were unknowingly mocked and verbally abused by the local celebrant.
Speaking in the local Dhivehi language, the celebrant called the couple "swine'' among a range of other insults and religious themed taunts. The footage of the 'hate video' was posted to YouTube and has caused controversy worldwide. The celebrant has since been arrested and an investigation launched.
The couple were oblivious as they are insulted throughout the ceremony. The 'celebrant' briefs the couple in English, prior to the ceremony, that it will be conducted according to "not only Maldivian" but also "Arabic and Islamic" norms. This video shows the direct translations.

The Maldives Police Service have confirmed they are investigating staff at Vilu Reef Resort and Spa at the request of both the Ministry of Tourism and the resort's operator Sun Travel and Tours… Police Sub-Inspector Ahmed Shiyam said the resort was cooperating fully with the police investigation.
"We are discussing with the Prosectutor General's office as to whether there is any way those involved can be charged,' Shiyam said.

The hotel is apparently attempting to contact the couple to explain the situation and offer undisclosed compensation. The video was uploaded as joke by a member of staff.
A 15-minute video of the ceremony was uploaded on YouTube on October 24 2010 by a member of staff. Vilu Reef Manager Mohamed Rasheed told Minivan News that the staff member who uploaded the video did it as "a joke", without "realising the seriousness of the potential consequences".

"You are swine" and "the children that you bear from this marriage will all be bastard swine," the tourist couple were told during the wedding ceremony conducted in Dhivehi at Vilu Reef Beach and Spa Resort. The ceremony cost $US1300.

Deputy Minister of Tourism Ismail Yasir told a Maldives news company that the Ministry was "very concerned" and would be investigating to determine whether the practice was common. Meanwhile the Vice President of the Tourism Employment Association of the Maldives, Mahrouf Zaki, claimed that the disparaging of guests in Dhivehi by resort staff was not uncommon.
"Sadly this is very common, and not only in Vilu Reef but even in very upmarket luxury resorts," said Zakir. "I've seen it happening, and not just for wedding ceremonies but birthday songs as well. It's a stupid thing to do, I think it's crazy."
"I don't think this is new – if you look at the Vilu Reef video there are 15 people standing around for the ceremony, and a lot more people in the background. The management must have been aware of it."
Source: http://minivannews.com
Foreign Minister Ahmed Shaheed said the video had damaged the country's reputation.
"I was shocked and horrified… I could not see the entire video because my children were around and I didn't want them to hear the bad language that was used.
This is a rip-off of the couple who in good faith went to this resort to renew their vows. This incident will damage the reputation we have built over the years for professional quality service… I expect the hotel to refund the money and make a full apology.''
Source: www.news.com.au
All tourist hotels without exception will be required to follow the new guidelines which will be issued shortly, the President said in his weekly radio address on Friday morning.
In his address, President Nasheed expressed disgust at the incident and described the behaviour of those involved as "absolutely disgraceful". He appealed to all members of staff working in tourist resorts to be "vigilantly professional". The President noted that bad behaviour, such as that depicted in the YouTube video, can cause enormous damage to the country´s tourism industry.

The potential damage to the Maldives brand was confirmed by the speed with which this story has caught fire online. it is the idyllic island nation, not just the guilty celebrant, which takes a hit.

The Maldives National Journalists Association issued a press release condemning the news company…
This organisation condemns the use of unacceptable language of low standards in any newspaper or website that can be read or accessed by children, adults and families. We would also like to take this opportunity to note that the translation published in Minivan News will damage Maldivian tourism and business.
Minivian news responded by stating…
Minivan News heartily agrees that the Maldives National Journalists Association (MNJA) should be concerned about the filthy language used by a Vilu Reef staff member in the leaked video, in which paying tourists seeking to renew their wedding vows are mocked and degraded by up to 15 complicit resort staff…. Furthermore, Minivan News believes that the duty of a 'responsible' news publication is to bring such sensitive issues to light, without fear or prejudice, holding big business to account when its behavior damages the Maldives' cherished reputation for tourism excellence.
Source: minivannews.com
The potential damage to brand Maldives is enormous. The Twitterverse has been full of negative commentary about the idyllic island chain and the Maldives tourist industry has scrambled to contain the damage from the sabotaged wedding ceremony. But the officials have also sought to shoot the messenger. The Minivian news organisation which post the 'hate video' have been accused of irresponsible journalism.
