President's Report:
Dr. Carter began his report by saying that during the meetings and discussion sessions at Wampee on August 6th and 7th most of the time had been spent developing the three themes that truly underscore the nature of Francis Marion University. First, there was discussion of how the University connects with the Florence Community with programs such as the Center for the Child and the Center of Excellence. Both of these programs help with the early and secondary education of children and further the nature of the University's collaborative structure with the school districts. Also Dr. Rebecca Flannagan and Dr. Ken Autrey reported on the Swamp Fox Writing Project and the Pee Dee Fiction Festival as well as professional writing efforts to assist and further support the community literacy across the region. In addition the Provost spoke about several entrepreneurial programs to encourage FMU students' involvement with and assimilation into the business environment across the Pee Dee.
Then, Dr. Carter outlined important points of the second theme: Building the University. Francis Marion University has expanded substantially over the past few years. This year the University is undertaking the development of the Center for the Child, a new phase of Villas, and it will break ground on the Performing Arts Center. The facility will likely be completed within eighteen months.
Lastly, Dr. Carter touched on the third theme of the Wampee Retreat: Educating the Community. Both of the first two themes underscore the third theme, that which the university does best, educating our region. Once again we find we are in the enviable position of providing the best education for the best price in South Carolina. Dr. Carter stated that he does not expect our commitment to this last theme to ever change.
Other Business:
No other business.
Mr. Jackson thanked the Board members and staff for coming to Wampee for the meeting. He also thanked everyone for their hard work. Mr. Jackson adjourned the meeting at 11:17 am.
Respectfully Submitted,
Carolyn Beasley Shortt

Gave everybody a cup and gave me a few bucks
Then he started bragging bout his last lick)

Historical Perspectives
Food Co-op Rejects Effort to Boycott Israeli-Made Products (NY) TIMES) By KIRK SEMPLE and GERSH KUNTZMAN 03/28/12)
Source: http://www.nytimes.com/2012/03/28/nyregion/park-slope-food-co-op-to-decide-on-boycott-vote.html
NEW YORK TIMES Articles-Index-Top
Members of the Park Slope Food Co-op voted overwhelmingly on Tuesday night against a motion that would have moved the organization closer to joining an international boycott against products made in Israel. The vote settled a debate that had embroiled the venerable neighborhood institution for many months and divided its membership.
The vote, conducted by paper ballot, came during the Brooklyn co-ops monthly general meeting, with 1,005 people voting against the motion to hold a referendum on a boycott, and 653 in favor.
A boycott should be by consensus, and there is obviously not that, Jeff Prant, a co-op member, said after the vote. While the arguments for the boycott had merits, he said, they were outweighed by the divisiveness.
Tensions at the co-op, on Union Street, had been climbing to a breaking point in recent weeks as the members, numbering about 16,300, weighed the matter. Reporters and television trucks had become a common site outside the co-ops doors. Advocates passed leaflets with increasing urgency. Politicians and pundits weighed in. And emotions, in at least one instance, spilled over into fisticuffs.
The boycott lobby is part of an international movement called Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions, or B.D.S. that is trying to compel the Israeli government to change its policies toward Palestinians, and withdraw from Palestinian territories.
The vote tonight has shown us that we still have a lot of work ahead in the fight to end Israeli oppression of Palestinians, said Liz Roberts, a member of the pro-boycott lobby. However, despite our loss in tonights vote, we have succeeded in one of our goals: B.D.S. has entered into the consciousness of thousands of co-op members and has even made it into mainstream conversations.
The start of the meeting was delayed by 45 minutes as hundreds of members filed into a large auditorium at Brooklyn Technical High School. The meeting had been moved from its usual setting in a local synagogue to accommodate the turnout of more than 1,600, a record for the organization.
Over nearly 90 minutes, about four dozen speakers stepped to the microphone and made their arguments.
Advocates for the boycott criticized Israeli military action in Gaza and the West Bank, and argued that a ban would be an important symbol in the fight against injustice.
Dennis James, who pushed for the boycott, recalled a visit to Gaza in 2009. I viewed the results of the 22-day bombardment, he said. I saw apartment blocks blown apart. The American school flattened. The hospital shot full of holes.
But many opponents of the boycott said the store was no place to adjudicate the politics of the Middle East. Some questioned the motives of the B.D.S. movement.
Aaron Dobbs occupied something of a middle ground, saying he was 100 percent against the B.D.S. movement but 100 percent in favor of the referendum in order to give the greatest number of members a chance to participate in the vote.
The anti-boycott lobby received a boost on Monday, when several of the citys top politicians expressed their opposition to the ban, including Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg, who said he would encourage New Yorkers to do more business with Israel, not less.
Irina Ivanova, a boycott supporter, said those officials statements were a little disappointing, but added, I cant say Im surprised.
She said the Park Slope Food Co-op Members that support the B.D.S. group had received endorsements from a range of activists and social justice organizations, including the writer Alice Walker, the antiwar group Code Pink and Mustafa Barghouti, a Palestinian politician.
Boycott supporters had asked even those opposed to a boycott to support the call for a referendum, arguing that a referendum, which would involve a mail-in ballot, would give members more time to vote, thus allowing greater participation.
But some members simply wanted the issue to go away as quickly as possible for fear that further debate would foment more divisiveness and damage the organization, which was founded 39 years ago.
These people are insidious, and they destroy communities, said Peter Raskin, a co-op member speaking about the boycott lobby. If they have a problem with Israel, let them go to the State Department.
A boycott would have been largely symbolic; the store carries only a few Israeli-made products, among them a seltzer-water maker, organic paprika, two styles of kosher marshmallows and three varieties of tapenade and pesto, said a store founder, Joe Holtz.
One of the product manufacturers is PeaceWorks, a company that seeks to encourage peace among rivals through economic cooperation. Its line of tapenades and pestos uses olives grown in Palestinian villages, glass jars made in Egypt and sun-dried tomatoes from Turkey.
The key to resolving the Palestinian-Israeli conflict is greater understanding of each other, not greater polarization, Joshua Scherz, president of PeaceWorks Foods, said in a statement.
Omar Barghouti, a Palestinian human rights advocate and co-founder of the B.D.S. movement, said that regardless of the outcome, the fact that the debate had reached Park Slope reflected the momentum the cause had gained.
We are fast reaching our South Africa moment, he said in a statement from East Jerusalem.
In recent weeks, advocates carrying leaflets have been a common sight on the sidewalk outside the Union Street store. While civility has generally prevailed, two people who apparently hold opposing views on the matter scuffled in front of the store over the weekend.
That makes me very unhappy, Mr. Holtz said. Im hoping thats the end of that. (Copyright 2012 The New York Times Company 03/28/12)

Why peace in the Middle East has been elusive plus praise for a story about Birthright trips.
The Reasons Why Peace Has Been Elusive
Jonathan Tobin, in his Sept. 19 opinion piece, "Oslo 20 Years Later: Have the Lessons Been Learned?", puts his finger on why there have been several decades of failure to achieve peace in the Middle East.
In any negotiations, Israel's purpose has been to produce two states, one Jewish and one Palestinian, living side by side in peace. The PLO's purpose was to gain an advantage to produce one Palestinian state, with no Jews permitted within its borders.That is why they've rejected having their own state alongside Israel three times, refused to permit any Jews in the territories they control, and why their leadership openly states that if a Palestinian entity is formed, no Jewish presence will be permitted.
In order for peace talks to succeed, both parties must be prepared to compromise and create an atmosphere of trust. Israel, by giving up Gaza, uprooting settlers and by accepting a Palestinian state with half of Jerusalem as its capital, has done just that.
The Palestinians, by refusing to cease terror attacks on innocent civilians, fomenting hatred in their media and schools, and refusing to abide by the terms of previous agreements, have not.
The Western media and governments have completely ignored these failures. At the same time, they've continually attacked the Jewish state when the talks inevitably broke down. The problem is and always has been Palestinian intransigence, not Israel's refusal to make concessions. The West's inability to grasp these facts explains why peace has been elusive.

Birthright Story Hits Home for Reader
Bryan Schwartzman's recent article "Back From Birthright — Now What?" (which first appeared in Inside magazine and ran online Sept. 4) really struck home. Taglit was, for me, an experience that changed my life.
Since I had graduated college early, I decided to return to Israel a month after my Taglit trip for a Masa internship program, followed by a New York University Extension Masters Program in Israel. I ended up meeting the person who is now my husband, an Israeli, while I was there, and by so doing, gained a family of more than 200. My connection to Israel is also a very special one, as I miss it dearly.

Stiffel Article Omits Some Details
I would like to comment on Bryan Schwartzman's Sept. 12 article on the Stiffel building in South Philadelphia, "Stiffel Building Gets Historic Designation," as it does not give enough detail.
In 1929, the Jewish Federation built two buildings in South Philadelphia. One building was erected at 508 Moore St. and was known as Jewish Education Center No. 1 (JEC #1). The second center at Marshall and Porter streets was called Jewish Education Center No. 2 (JEC #2).
Basically, they were used to teach "Talmud Torah" to the large population of children. I attended adult evening school there. But as years went by, the Jewish population moved out of South Philadelphia and the building on Moore Street was closed.

Two BW students are headed to jail
(Cleveland) — Two students at Baldwin Wallace University are going to jail for operating a drug lab.
Benjamin Knight and Lauren Pajerski — music conservancy students at the liberal arts college in Berea — were sentenced to the minimum nine months in jail Thursday for making and selling Ecstasy.
The 25-year-old Knight and 23-year-old Pajerski were arrested during a raid of their off-campus apartment in October 2012, following an investigation by the university and police in Berea.
They had pleaded guilty to charges accusing them of stealing chemicals from a chemistry lab at the university and manufacturing the illegal stimulant out of an empty dorm room.
Two other students charged in connection with the case avoided jail time.

"Every woman has a right to be beautiful," Arden proclaimed.
The notes and general introduction are taken from the esteemed Arden Shakespeare edition of the plays and poems.
The forests of Arden on which he based his forest comedies were just round the corner.
In whispers, the doctor made to Miss Arden a most satisfactory report.
It is certain that Shakespeare had many cousins on the Arden side.
Orlando being driven from home by his elder brother, also went to the forest of Arden, and was taken under the duke's protection.
Perhaps on his coming to Longcroft he found the old Arden arms there.
Arden was speaking, as the three chums sauntered toward their classes in Bordmust Hall.
Hampton in Arden was not altogether his own, but his son Robert purchased it for 500 marks.
But the chief was kindly sympathetic and soon had drawn from Arden all the story.

St. Loukas was an early 10th century hermit and lived a strict ascetic life on the slopes of the Helicon Mountain in Boeotnia, Greece, near Distomo, about 120 miles n.w. of Athens. Because of his elevated life and great love for God, he was given the gift of wonder-working, knowing by God's revelation, things to come. He flowed myrrh as fragrant healing oil after his death.
Much of modern Greece was then a part of the Byzantine Empire, or the Eastern Roman Empire. When the rise of Islam had occurred in the early 7th century, a wave of Islamic warriors had set out to conquer first Arabia, then Egypt and northern Africa, Syria, Mesopotamia, Persia, Afghanistan, northern India, Spain, and the eastern parts of Asia Minor by a.d. 750 under the Caliphs. Many of the Greek islands were also conquered, including Crete in a.d. 826. Before he died in a.d. 953, St. Loukas predicted that the Emperor Romanos would reconquer Crete. This came to pass in a.d. 961 by the armies of General Nicephorus Phocas under Emperor Romanos II. The Monastery of Hagios Loukas is today one of the great examples of 10th century Byzantine architecture.

I won't however go on my rant about how I think the absolute last thing the UFC needs right now is more weight classes, either male of female.
Sherdog.com - The number one MMA site on the web today!
This division is packed full of natural weight females. Another women's division was imminent from what I could see. I can't see another weight class coming in but this for sure was essential to even the playing ground a little.

text: After an astonishing 10-year run that included Red Sorghum, Ju Dou, Raise The Red Lantern, To Live, The Story Of Qiu Ju, and Shanghai Triad, director Zhang Yimou appears to be walking off into the sunset, perhaps finally worn down by his constant battles with government censors. The brightest star of China's justly heralded "Fifth Generation" filmmakers, Zhang has a knack for slipping potent social and political sentiments into everything from opulent historical epics to gritty, verité-style contemporary melodramas. While his storytelling skills have never left him, Zhang has lately lost his taste for allegory, first with 1999's decorous pastoral The Road Home and now with Happy Times, a warm and openly sentimental neo-neo-realist comedy with only the thinnest sliver of subtext. Turning a minor variation on a well-worn theme—the orphaned child and the reluctant surrogate father—Zhang remains a fluid, delicate craftsman with strong populist instincts, capable of winding through a story without a single wasted frame. But for these same reasons, Happy Times seems uncharacteristically lazy and complacent, like a once-great boxer who refuses to punch his weight. An Umberto D. in the making, Zhao Benshan stars as a poor, aging pensioner who wants to stave off loneliness but barely has the financial means to take care of himself. Ever the optimist, he promises his latest fiancée (Dong Lifan), a boorish single mother with a bratty son (Ling Qibin) and a blind stepdaughter (Dong Jie), that he can raise 50,000 yuan for their wedding, a sum he knows he doesn't have. Zhao and his best friend (Li Xuejian) hatch a scheme to spruce up an abandoned bus in the park and charge young lovers to rent it by the hour, heralding their new business as the "Happy Times Hotel." But when his fiancée pushes him to hire the blind girl as the hotel masseuse, Zhao and his loyal friends oblige by spinning an even more outrageous web of lies, constructing a phony "massage room" in an abandoned warehouse. The presence of a blind orphan seems like certain catastrophe for the director: She dreams only of encountering her long-lost father and getting her sight restored when he can afford the operation. But Happy Times doesn't buck the clichés so much as infuse them with feeling, playing off the pleasant, unforced rhythm of two characters who pine for simple companionship. An unlikely third-act twist threatens to push shamelessly for the waterworks, but Zhang saves his one ambiguous shot for last, ending on a bittersweet note that briefly throws the entire film into relief. But everything else rests plainly on the surface, worth nothing more or less than the modest sum of its simple humor and sweetness.

Some fathers like to spend quality time with their sons out on a ball field or on a lake. For area orthodontist Bill Martin and his sons, it's more likely on top of a 14,000-foot tall mountain.
On July 1, Martin and his two sons completed their most recent trek up Washington's Mt.

Woman: Ex-Boyfriend Violent Before Family Attack
SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) — A young woman testified Thursday that her ex-boyfriend grew possessive and violent in the weeks before her father and sister were killed in a fiery attack on their California home that prosecutors say was an elaborate plot by the man to try to win her back.
Speaking in a calm, firm voice, Shayona Dhanak told jurors in a Santa Ana courtroom that a then-22-year-old Iftekhar Murtaza punched one of her male friends at a fundraiser for her college dance team and tried to discuss their relationship with her at parties. She said Murtaza kept blaming her parents' opposition to them dating for the breakup, though she told him she had only
used them as an excuse.
"It's not my parents," she testified having said shortly before the attack. "It's you I'm tired of."
Dhanak's testimony came in the trial of Murtaza on charges of killing Dhanak's father and sister and assaulting her mother and leaving her for dead outside the family's burning home in an upscale Orange County suburb in 2007. If convicted, he could face the death penalty.
Prosecutors contend the attack was part of Murtaza's plan to eliminate the family as an obstacle to his two-year relationship with the college freshman as she had blamed the breakup on religious differences between her devout Hindu family and his Muslim faith. After the split, Murtaza chatted online with his best friend about hiring a hitman to kill the family, but when Dhanak started dating someone else, he decided to carry out the murders himself, prosecutors said.
In May 2007, Murtaza and a friend attacked Dhanak's father and 20-year-old sister, left her mother with her throat slit and unconscious on a neighbor's lawn, and set the family's Anaheim Hills house
on fire, prosecutors said. Five hours later, the charred, stabbed bodies of Jay and Karishma Dhanakm were found burning in a park about two miles from Dhanak's dorm room at University of California, Irvine.
That morning, Dhanak testified, police showed up at her door. Murtaza repeatedly called her cellphone as she was being interviewed by a detective, who answered and told him to stop calling.
Two days later, Murtaza told her he was going to be leaving.
"I said that's dumb. When there's a case going on like this, why would you leave the country?" Dhanak told jurors.
Murtaza was arrested the next day at an airport in Phoenix with a ticket to his native Bangladesh.
Murtaza has pleaded not guilty. His defense lawyers have declined to comment on the case and did not make an opening statement.
In a 2007 jail interview, Murtaza told the Orange County Register he couldn't commit such a ruthless crime.
Murtaza is charged with two counts of murder with special circumstances of burglary, kidnapping and financial gain and multiple murders. He is also charged with attempted murder and conspiracy.
The trial comes after the convictions of two of Murtaza's friends for the killings and the sentencing of one of them to life in prison.

In-Ground Arctic Defender Shield Pool Covers - 20 X 45ft Rectangle
Superior Strength, And "Heat Shield" Algae Fighting Technology!
SAVE 10% on Double Water Tubes! When purchased with an in-ground pool cover.
Keep debris out of your pool this winter season with an Arctic Defender Shield in-ground pool cover and spring opening will be a breeze. In addition, the Arctic Defender Shield winter cover can prevent damage to your pool walls and surfaces by protecting your pool from falling debris in even the nastiest winter weather.
Back to
The Arctic Defender shield has all the features of our standard pool covers but is made of an even more durable fabric! This pool cover features a cutting edge "rip stop" fabric weave technique that stops tears and rips before they start. This winter cover also contains an additional layer of silver fabric that works in combination with a black bottom layer to prevent light penetration (algae need light to grow!) and further reduces algae growth. This unique silver layer also deflects heat and keeps the pool water cooler which also helps prevent algae growth.
The Arctic Defender Shield is made of extra wide material to reduce the number of seams and all seams are heat sealed rather than sewn, for a more durable and water-tight seal. The tightly woven inner scrim is topped by a premium, extra-thick polyethylene weather resistant coating. This makes our Arctic Defender winter pool cover extremely durable and highly resistant to U.V., acids, alkalis, salt, mildew, chlorine, and other pool chemicals.
- Offers an extra large 5 foot overlap for a better fit.
- Please order by pool size! (All covers accommodate an 18-inch water drop.)
- Rugged, heavy-duty water bag loops are conveniently placed every 4 ft. to help hold water tubes firmly in place!
- 16-Year Warranty (4 Full Years)
- Available with or without double chamber water tubes.

Once again...The shipping cost is what UPS is charging you to ship the item to your address. I just added items from many different brands I like and they are all charging me around 10-12 dollars to ship to my address and they are all located within a 10 mile radius of where I live.Was out all night and just rechecked Spring 1 and those prices are still there. Not to get on a rant, but these increases are out of control. $66 for a crew plus the UPS shipping is really pushing it. I love Diamond, but moves like this make me stop and think..
That being said, I'm happy to add the imprint hoodie and cable car tee to my collection. Had planned on picking up a lot of Spring 2 after I saw it the other day. I'm not so sure now
We did USPS but the rate of lost, stolen, misrouted packages was insane.

Olivier is scared yet intrigued, and goes forth to learn more about the ghost.
The vines at Olivier Leflaive in Puligny-Montrachet grow quickly during the first weeks of July, up to 12 inches in 24 hours.
Maceo Robert – Halle Berry and Olivier Martinez revived this old Spanish form of Matthew for their newborn son.
The film won four Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Actor for Olivier.
In the words of Olivier Todd, "Camus was correct too early."
But it was no joke, and Commandant Olivier had to lay down his arms.
He found the former commissary of police at table, in the company of Olivier and Suzanne.
"He is on his knees half the time now," said Father Olivier mischievously.
"Your tears will not restore your son to you," sententiously observed Olivier.
At length comes the rencounter which is a turning-point in his fate; he meets Olivier, Antoinette's brother, the true Frenchman.

Perry to Sign Unemployment Benefit Drug Testing Bill
Governor Perry today will sign a bill that mandates that recipients of unemployment benefits pas a drug test before receiving them, 1200 WOAI news reports.
This is a good example of how a lot of people feel about the accomplishments of the regular session of the Legislature, as neither Democrats nor Republicans like the measure Perry is about to sign.
Democrats point out that to receive unemployment benefits, a person has to have been working, and if that individual is fired for failing an employer-mandated drug test, the worker is not eligible for unemployment benefits anyway.
They also point out that a similar program when it was tried in Florida in 2011 cost taxpayers more than $175 million, and resulted in fewer than 2% of all benefit applicants being disqualified due to drug use.
Taxpayer money will pay for the Texas drug testing as well.
State Sen. Tommy Williams (R-The Woodlands), the chief sponsor of the bill, says people on unemployment benefits are there only briefly until they get a new job, but if they are taking drugs, they are not eligible for employment in many fields, and as such are violating their part of their agreement to receive the benefits.
Republicans are not satisfied with the bill either. They wanted every recipient of every state cash benefit, including recipients of welfare, Aid to Families with Dependent Children, and Lone Star Card food stamp benefits to have to pass a drug test as well. But Democrats managed, in a chaotic end of session debate, to remove welfare recipients from the list.
There are also numerous loopholes in the bill. Unemployment benefit recipients will first have to fill out a questionnaire, and only those whose answers indicate a 'propensity toward drug abuse' will be required to take the drug test to begin with. The law doesn't specify how that determination will be made.
Conservatives asked that Perry include a tougher drug testing law in the agenda fro the current special session, but he refused.

Friday, February 19 2010 - Anthrax
FBI formally closes protracted anthrax case
February 19, 2010
WASHINGTON -- After seven frustrating years probing the deadly 2001 anthrax mailings, the FBI closed the case Friday, concluding a mentally unhinged government researcher acted alone in the attacks that killed five people and unnerved Americans nationwide.
Many details of the case have been known, but newly released FBI documents paint a fuller portrait of Dr. Bruce Ivins as a troubled scientist whose career was teetering toward failure at the time the letters were sent. As the U.S. responded to the mailings, his work was given new importance by the government and he was even honored for his efforts on anthrax.
The documents also describe what investigators say was Ivins' bizarre, decades-long obsession with a sorority. The letters were mailed from a mailbox near the sorority's office in Princeton, N.J.
The anthrax letters were sent to lawmakers and news organizations as the nation reeled in the aftermath of the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks. Postal facilities, Capitol buildings and private offices were shut down for inspection and cleaning by workers in hazardous materials "space suits" from Florida to Washington to New York and beyond.
The FBI and Justice Department announced the decision closing the case while disclosing reams of evidence collected in the case. Officials also released a nearly 100-page summary of their findings.
The document said Ivins made comments to a former colleague that showed "immediately prior to the anthrax letter attacks, his life's work was in jeopardy."
Ivins killed himself in 2008 as prosecutors prepared to indict him for the attacks. He had denied involvement, and his family and some friends have continued to insist he was innocent.
Authorities say Ivins' death capped a years-long cat-and-mouse game with investigators, in which he repeatedly offered to help the FBI catch the killer, cast suspicion on his colleagues and tried numerous forms of subterfuge.
Authorities tried to build a case against biowarfare expert Steven Hatfill, but ultimately turned away from that and had to pay him a multimillion-dollar settlement.
After the attacks, the FBI relied heavily on Ivins' help, according to the documents, and the scientist offered agents his notebooks, his office, and his e-mail.
He passed a polygraph in connection with the investigation in 2002, but investigators learned years later that he had been prescribed psychotropic medications at the time. Examiners who reassessed the results concluded that Ivins exhibited classic signs of the use of countermeasures to pass a polygraph.
The new documents also present a novel theory why the anthrax notes featured block writing that highlighted specific letters within words.
Investigators believe Ivins' use of the letters was part of a secret code that had two possible meanings: pointing to a colleague, or stating a specific dislike of New York. Two of the letters were sent to New York — one to The New York Post, and another to NBC's then-anchor Tom Brokaw.
The anthrax case was one of the most vexing and costly investigations in U.S. history. Officials announced in 2008 that the lone suspect was Ivins. The move Friday seals that preliminary investigative conclusion.
Laced with anthrax, the letters were sent with childish, blocky handwriting and chilling scientific expertise.
The spores killed five people: Two postal workers in Washington, D.C., a New York City hospital worker, a Florida photo editor and a 94-year-old Connecticut woman who had no known contact with any of the poisoned letters. Seventeen other people were sickened.
For years, the FBI chased leads but filed no charges.
In 2008, the agency announced that the mystery had been solved but the suspect was dead.
Authorities said that in the days before the mailings, Ivins had logged unusual hours alone in his lab at the Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases at Fort Detrick, Md. They also said he threw investigators off his trail by supplying false leads as he ostensibly tried to help them find the killer.
As the FBI closed in on Ivins, the 62-year-old microbiologist took a fatal overdose of Tylenol, dying on July 29, 2008. After Ivins' suicide, FBI Director Robert Mueller said the investigation found he was the culprit, and prosecutors said they were confident he acted alone.
Skeptics — including prominent lawmakers — pointed to the bureau's long, misguided pursuit of Hatfill, and noted there was no evidence suggesting Ivins was ever in New Jersey when the letters were mailed there.
At the urging of lawmakers, the National Academy of Sciences has launched a formal review [Ed. note: Information on review here] of the FBI's scientific methods in tracing the particular strain of anthrax used in the mailings to samples Ivins had at his Fort Detrick lab.

So, I've been back into WoW for a bit now, and although the game has changed significantly since my TBC/Wrath days, a lot has stayed the same.
I didn't pick the PUG life, the PUG life picked me
The first noticeable change for someone who has been out of the game for a while, is the continued trend towards easy grouping for current content. Not only can I queue up for dungeons and scenarious, but I can queue up for multiple raids, and I don't lose my place in the queue while playing one of those raids. Often, immediately after leaving a raid, the queue for one of the other ones pops. Getting groups is easy, and within a few weeks of gearing up, I downed the LFR version of the final raid, marking the first time I ever completed the final raid in the game (I beat every encounter in wrath EXCEPT the Lich King).
Another positive change is the "per-boss" individual lockout in LFR. I remember the frustration of PUG groups in Wrath when it didn't go well. If you cleared half the raid, you were pretty well screwed for that week, unless you could convince another raid to come in and complete it. Now, I can queue up for a raid, clear what bosses we can, and if we don't complete it, I can queue for a different group later, only able to loot the bosses I have not killed yet.
The biggest negative at this point isn't new, but it seems to have been exacerbated by the anonymity and random nature of the Raid Finder tool: Assholes.
It's hard to determine which is more frustrating: The idiots who walk into a raid without knowing the encounter, do stupid things and cause wipes, then say "lol its just lfr no big deal haha," or the jerks who will scream and throw fits at every minor mistake made by anyone. This is made worse by the fact that apparently there are a few non-English speaking realms in my battlegroup, which means at any given time there's a possibility of queuing up and raiding with folks you can't communicate with. And while LFR raids are not difficult per se, when a chunk of folks has no idea what to do, they quickly become exercises in futility.
Class Roles
When cataclysm came out, although I was nearly done with the game at that point, I welcomed the return of difficult heroics. I have no idea how it was toward the end of the expansion, but early on, they were a challenge. I was thrilled at the prospect of strategy behind trash pulls. Proper use of CC, the use of misdirect and feign death, dispelling things… I enjoyed these challenges. These things are not really present even in the raids in Pandaria. There also have been no new 5-mans, although I confess I have yet to participate in many heroic scenarios. There seems to be less to differentiate a "good" hunter nowadays except stellar DPS. And although topping the meters is satisfying, the ability to chain trap mobs, kite adds a'la Gluth, or other such tasks is a facet of playing that I miss.
As for difficulty, I can't really intelligently comment here, as I've not made it out of LFR… however, the raids present little challenge to a decent group. I hope to soon have enough people in my guild to attempt tougher content, or perhaps oQueue is what I need to be doing to get into the higher difficulty raids.
The (Continued) Rise of the Casual
Going along with the LFR comments above, it seems to me the game has much more to offer the casual player now. Gearing is fairly easy to do solo, through the timeless isle, dailies on the Isle of Thunder for valor points, and a wealth of crafted epics. The addition of pet battles is a mini game which, although I'm not into it, is something a player can do solo in a limited amount of playtime. Scenarios are a nice stand-in for 5 man content where roles are not as important. It'll be interesting to see how Draenor furthers the casual POV, with things like garrisons (and the profession perks associated with them)
Looking Ahead to Draenor
Although I enjoy MoP's storyline in general, I don't feel like I'm as invested in it as I was during Wrath. Wrath (and cataclysm), gave us world-breaking baddies who were bent on destruction, and the villains in Wrath just don't appeal to me as much. Although we don't know much about Draenor yet, I really hope that we get back to the idea of a super-evil baddie with the real possibility of total destruction. Feelings as enemies just doesn't have the epic appeal.
I'm going to log on a bit later and try to finish some more of Wrathion's questline. If anyone reads this any more, my fledgling casual guild is recruiting. Stop in and say hi. Alliance side, Gilneas. Character name "Fitzh"

Basically going down to Jaco the first week in March. I've been a few times but at different times of the year. What can we expect as far as surf size in Jaco and Hermosa in early March? What about conditions? What tide is best for these breaks?
I've been there when it's low tide and it's flat but at high it's decent. Is this always the case?
Any help would be awesome.

around 150
After dating:
less than 170
After 7 years of marriage and 2 kids:
221 (actual)
Those numbers?
I know.
{sad feeling yesterday when I weighed myself}
The first thought I had after weighing myself was,
"I don't feel that fat. I feel better than I have in a long time"
{sexy girl, remember?}
And, yes it is just a number, but why does it have to be such a big number, jeesh!
I am really loving how I look these days.
I feel sexy, good-to-go, and curvy. I have a bounce in my step, you know?
I've been taking karate classes, a cardio-kickboxing class here and there, and an intense yoga session just this Tuesday. I'm sweating my bootie off, people! And I definitely feel it in every muscle.
Can you say "ow!" with me everytime I take a step?
On top of that...
I only eat half of what's I'm served on my plate and eat the rest for dinner or lunch the next day.
I'm having a smoothie for breakfast this morning
I also ate two big handfuls of tortilla chips after dinner last night. And, maybe another handful of dark chocolate covered almonds after that. I may have also opted for a huge cup of Sprite instead of water...
So you get where I'm going with this right?
No one force fed me.
No one strapped me to a chair everyday for 10 years putting food in my mouth.
Well, actually someone did.
So, yes I'm feeling all kinds of hottie these days...
And, yes, I know that all the food I consume isn't healthy for me.
Also, I understand that just because I'm exercising doesn't mean I can just eat however and whenever I want.
That's the first step out of denial, right?
: )
How do you keep yourself from shoving all that yummy food in your mouth?
'Cause it's dang hard over here!!!

A year after a made-for-TV movie about Christopher Porco aired on the Lifetime, an appellate court is siding with the producers and the network.
Porco, now 30 and representing himself from prison, had sought an injunction against "Romeo Killer," claiming it violated his civil rights. It aired anyway.
The judge says Porco's request to stop it amounted to an "unconstitutional restraint on speech."
Porco is serving 46 years to life for the 2004 axe attack that left his father dead and mother severely injured.

Levy historian
At the March 1896 meeting of the American Institute of Mining Engineers, a report was given on the Albion phosphate district located in the northeast corner of Levy County. The area embraced a territory about four miles wide and six miles long. The Florida Central and Peninsular Railroad, which ran from Fernandina, a shipping port on the Atlantic, to the Cedar Keys, on the Gulf of Mexico, passed through the center of the district.

Four different women. One common shoe size. And a shared lust for fabulous footwear. In this sparkling novel, the wife of a controlling politician, a debt-ridden eBay addict, an agoraphobic phone sex operator, and a nanny for the family from hell (who barely knows a sole from a heel but who will do anything to get out of the house) meet on Tuesday nights to trade shoes. In the process, they form friendships that will help each of them to triumph over her problems, from secret pasts to blackmail, bankrupcy, and dating.
©2007 Beth Harbison; (P)2007 Audio Renaissance, a division of Holtzbrinck Publishers LLC
"Reading this novel is like eating a slice of cake." (Publishers Weekly)
"Chic Lit with character development"
I enjoyed this book because the characters are not outrageous stereotypes. These women are more like you and me than is the norm in Chic Lit. The characters change and grow throughout the book and they do not depend (too much) on men rescuing them from their troubles. I loved getting to know these women and cheered for them when they changed their lives for the better. I also love shoes, which predisposed me to like this novel. This book is slower paced than you might be used to for this genre, but give these characters a chance and they will win you over with their regular gal charms.
"a cute listen"
It kept me entertained for the most part. Did it keep me running longer because I couldn't stop listenting to it, no. But there are very few books that do that for me.
It took about 15 minutes to get going but I liked how it was about 4 different women so I liked the 4 different point of views.
I liked the narrator.
"Fun read"
First time reader of this author - will try another. Light reading - cute storyline - loved the orator.
Sometimes you just need a good read without a lot of twists and turns.
"Nice, Enjoyable!"
It's an easy listen, four women and their shoe addiction. Believeble enough. The stories come together nicely and interestingly at first and problems are fixed with a nice tidy bow at the end. The narrator is fantastic. She's the reason I chose the book. Will read more from this author just for the narrator!
"was okay"
This book follows the lives of different women being lovers of trendy shoes that meet up weekly to discuss their lives and of course shoes! I thought the book would be more fun and engrossing than it was, it was an okay read, but certainly not a book that you are not wanting to put down. The book is very slow and you don't really feel or care for any of the characters.
"LOVE the Shoe Addicts books!"
I am not a person who is into shoes, but these Shoe Addicts books are the best! They are engaging and hilarious! I hope there's sequels soon!
"another winner I'm in love with Beth Harbison ' s."
Beth Harbison ' s writing style is charming and witty. She can manage to make you laugh and cry all in one page. I love it.
"Easy and quick listen"
I enjoyed this audio book, but definitely wasn't my favorite. It was easy and didn't have to concentrate too much. Predictable, but a good chick book.
"Great read"
I am using this audiobook as a way to run longer:) I'm finding as soon as I stop running I still want to continue listening to it, but I'm making myself wait until the next run. Needless to say I've been running a lot so I can listen to this book!!! It's light and breezy and a great easy read or listen!
She was very entertaining and I enjoyed listening to her voice!

Shock: At Least 19 Injured as Gunmen Open Fire at New Orleans Mother's Day Parade
(NEWSER) – At least 19 people, including two 10-year-old children, were injured when gunmen opened fire on marchers in a Mother's Day parade in New Orleans yesterday, the Times-Picayune reports. No fatalities have been reported, but three victims are in critical condition. Police believe three suspects and at least two different weapons were involved. The suspects—one of whom is described as 18 to 22 years old with short hair, wearing a white shirt and blue jeans—were seen fleeing after the incident and are still at large.

Its a long complicated story but to cut it short my husband and I are still newlyweds. I am 31 weeks pregnant. My last diagnostic ultrasound was at 7weeks pregnant everything was ok and est dd (dear daughter) is December 30th. I had a 3d non diagnostic ultrasound done at 24 weeks that hubby paid for. Baby looked normal. I saw his hand and fingers stretched out, he rubbed his eyes, hid his face though (see my avatar). Hes very active, kicks hard, responds to us poking around a little. However, due to issues i'd rather not share I have not been able to receive prenatal care from a doctor. We cant afford to pay out of pocket for it either. I am worried about any possible medical complications for my baby. I feel like crying sometimes. From a previous pregnancy with my husband which I aborted blood tests and ultrasounds were done. Everything was normal ... I was extremely sick with morning sickness and put on Zofran.
I am 20 my husband is 27.. we are both healthy, we dont smoke, I rarely drink ( not since being pregnant)
What are the major medical problems that can go undetected without a doctor??

Emma Stone & Andrew Garfield Charity Bomb The Paparazzi
Clever kids! Adorable couple Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield were having lunch in New York City this weekend, when they discovered paparazzi were lying in wait outside. So they took advantage of the publicity and quickly made these signs which read:
"We just found out that there are paparazzi outside the restaurant we were eating in so… why not take this opportunity to bring attention to organizations that need and deserve it? www.wwo.org and www.gildasclubnyc.org. Have A Great Day!"
WWO stands for the Worldwide Orphans Foundation and Gilda's Club in a cancer charity. Props to them for their creativity — much better than a middle finger. (On a completely different note, is that L. Ron Hubbard on Andrew's T-shirt or is Xenu playing tricks on me?)

New Linkin Park album expected out this summer
Listen to Linkin Park on iHeartRadio
Linkin Park's Mike Shinoda says the band is "pretty deep" into the making of its next album. He says in a post on MikeShinoda.com that they've spent endless hours jamming in the studio to come up with a "bold and energetic" sound for the follow-up to 2012's Living Things.
The band has also broken away from their usual recording methods by working in a new locale and producing themselves. Shinoda says they can't wait for fans to hear the results, which they expect to have out this summer.

In this case i am referring to guilt. But i have noticed it with anger as well. It seems sometimes that even in my awareness, the feelings run so deep that i am almost held hostage by something i know is not wise attention. Yet even in sitting with it or looking at it, i can't seem to move out from being with it. Is the idea just to sit longer?

The Seshen will debut on Tru Thoughts with the 'Unravel' EP on 6/7 October. Stream it's title cut via Thump.
The "Unravel" EP sees The Seshen's admirably experimental approach maturing and coalescing into something very special, a signature sound that flies out of the speakers, fizzing with imagination, emotion and a sense of adventure. Lyrically, the six cuts delve into the human condition, and the lead track is an impactful statement of intent, with a muscular, aggressive backdrop playing host to an impossibly silken vocal verse and contrasting chorus that explore with grace how an unravelling relationship can chip away at the identities of those involved.

Gre'thor was the Klingon equivalent to the Terran "Hell". It was where the souls of the dishonored went when they died after being ferried there on the Barge of the Dead in the waters inhabited by Kos'karii. The insignia of Gre'thor, and dishonored Klingons, was an inverted emblem of the Empire.
In Klingon mythology, the gates of Gre'thor were guarded by the monster figure known as Fek'lhr. (TNG: "Devil's Due")
In 2372, after he and his family had been stripped of their honor, Kurn considered that if he were cast down into Gre'thor, he'd have had the consolation of being with other Klingons, dishonored or not. (DS9: "Sons of Mogh")
In 2376, B'Elanna Torres experienced a near-death experience about her mother Miral almost being sent to Gre'thor because of her daughter's dishonor. However, Torres traded her life for that of her mother, and she herself was sent to Gre'thor, which to her was interpreted as USS Voyager and its crew. (VOY: "Barge of the Dead")

CHARGE FOR A CURE - Join Today!
Last Game: 2
March Total: 7
Season Total: 45
PHILADELPHIA - Behind the Charge for a Cure initiative and several other charitable events, the University of Pennsylvania women's basketball team raised more than $4,000 in 2011-12. Since head coach Mike McLaughlin took over in 2009-10, the team has raised $12,250 for various charities.
In three seasons, McLaughlin's Quakers have been extraordinarily active off the court in support of local, national and international causes. In its second year, the "Charge for a Cure" initiative, has raised nearly $7,000, which is in addition to the $5,500 raised for breast cancer awareness and the 400-plus pairs of shoes collected in 2010 for Haitian citizens after the nation's devastating earthquake. The Quakers also adopted 13-year-old Emily Miccarelli, a brain cancer survivor, through the Friends of Jaclyn Foundation for the 2009-10 season.
This year, the Quakers collected more than $2,000 from 41 donors in the second year of the Charge for a Cure initiative. Through raffle, t-shirt and ticket sales, the team raised another $1,540 with their annual Play 4 Kay "Pink Zone" game held on Feb. 4. The NCAA donated an additional $500 after the Quakers won the 'Pack the House' challenge for the second straight year.
Donors of Charge for a Cure pledged a donation for every offensive charge taken by the Quakers during the season. The initiative helped the Red and Blue on the court as they took a total of 45 charges this season. Donors included many members of the Penn Athletics Department, Penn Alumni, current athletes, members of the media and family and friends.
The charges were added up monthly with November's donations going toward the American Cancer Society, December's charges went toward Autism Speaks, January supported Luekemia and Lymphoma Society, February's proceeds went toward the ALS Association of America and March supported The Michael J. Fox Foundation (Parkinson's Disease).
"I think this has been a really great effort by so many people," McLaughlin said after the first year of the Charge for a Cure initiative. "The money is extremely helpful to the cause and its a great thing, but even more so is the awareness that this initiative brings toward these diseases. We are grateful to raise money for these causes, but we always felt the most important part of this initiative was about raising awareness. We hope this only continues to grow so that we have the opportunity to reach as many people as possible."
All of the proceeds from the Play 4 Kay game will be donated to Penn's Rena Rowan Breast Center at the Abramson Cancer Center.

Alicia - from Harlingen, TX
Unfortunately, the vanilla cupcakes will not turn out very well. The cocoa powder and chocolate in your recipe has multiple purposes. Chocolate contributes fat. Take out the chocolate, and the final cake would be very dry. Some fat would be needed to be put back into the recipe. Cocoa powder contributes mass to the batter. If you take out cocoa powder, you would need to add some flour back into the recipe. Also, chocolate is acidic. The amounts of leavening agents (baking powder and/or baking soda) that you put in your cupcakes would be out of proportion with the leavening need of the batter, so your cupcakes will not rise appropriately. Changing any of these variables can be done, but would require experimentation

Akron has a new plan to guide development downtown.
Akron City Council this week approved the redevelopment plan, which will consolidate five to six plans previously approved for downtown. The new plan involves no zoning changes or property acquisition.

The heir-apparent for the Summit County Republican Party was unanimously elected Wednesday night to head the party's executive committee.
Bryan Williams replaces Jonathan Pavloff, who had held this post since 2006.
Alex Arshinkoff, who has chaired the party since 1978, remains chair of the party's central committee and the overall chair. He wasn't feeling well and didn't attend the Wednesday meeting.
"I'll work with Bryan for four to six years," said Arshinkoff, 59. "Let him learn the ropes. He'll be a good chairman."To read more or comment...
Akron Mayor Don Plusquellic is among several Ohio mayors who have signed onto a national initiative to fight bullying.
Plusquellic has joined a partnership with the U.S. Conference of Mayors and the BULLY Project as part of an effort to develop local solutions to lessen bullying in schools. The mayors in Cleveland, Columbus, Toledo and Dayton, as well as several in smaller Ohio cities, including Brunswick, are among 170 mayors from across the country who have joined the initiative.
The project, called Mayors' Campaign to End Bullying, aims to raise awareness, foster a safe school environment and work with experts from the BULLY Project to create customized responses to bullying in school districts.
"Our children have the right to participate in school and activities free from harassment and bullying," Plusquellic said in a news release.To read more or comment...
Bryan Williams is expected to be elected chairman of the Summit County Republican Party's Executive Committee during a Wednesday evening meeting.
Williams, who currently holds the executive committee's No. 2, will replace Jonathan Pavloff, who has held the committee's top spot since 2006. Pavloff is a businessman who is vice chair of the University of Akron Board of Trustees.
"I'm looking forward to it," Williams said this morning after a Summit County elections board meeting.
Williams was appointed to the four-member elections board in February, serving alongside long-time Summit County GOP Chairman Alex Arshinkoff. Williams is a former director and deputy director of the elections board who also was a state legislator and a State Board of Education member.To read more or comment...
Anti-illegal immigration protests will be held across the country this weekend, including one in Akron.
The We the People Convention is organizing the events against illegal immigration and amnesty for people who come to the United States illegally, according to Tom Zawistowski, who heads up the group, along with leading the Portage County TEA Party.
"I ask you to join me in standing up for American sovereignty and letting our elected officials know where we stand," Zawistowski said in a news release.
The Akron protest will be from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday on the pedestrian walkway off Sumner Street and Interstate 76. (Get off at the Wolf Ledges Parkway exit and go two blocks east to Sumner Street.) This is the only event being held in the Akron-Canton area.To read more or comment...
A disagreement about whether Akron City Council should go into executive session in the middle of a rare caucus Tuesday resulted in an even more infrequent occurrence -- a tie vote.
Council members had been talking about an ongoing lawsuit on fire department promotions when Councilman Jeff Fusco suddenly suggested that the discussion should be moved into executive session. A Beacon Journal reporter in the audience asked on what grounds when the discussion had been happening in open session.
Council members then voted on whether to go into executive session with Clerk Bob Keith initially miscounting the votes and saying the majority voted for it. As some council members started to leave the room, the reporter again objected, questioning the vote count. Bob Keith retallied and realized the vote was 6-6-1, which wasn't a majority. The discussion continued in open session, allowing the media and the public who attended to hear what was said.
The council members who voted for the executive session were: Fusco, Donnie Kammer, Garry Moneypenny , Russel Neal, Jr., Rich Swirsky and Mike Williams. Those voting against were: Mike Freeman, Bob Hoch, Jim Hurley, Marilyn Keith, Tara Mosley-Samples and Linda Omobien. Councilwoman Margo Sommerville, who entered the chambers in the middle of the disagreement about whether an executive session was warranted, abstained.To read more or comment...
Akron City Council doesn't often have caucuses, but will have one Tuesday.
The caucus will be from 3 to 5:30 p.m. in council chambers on the third floor of Akron City Hall, 166 S. High St. (The ending time is firm because of a Housing Appeals Board meeting that starts at 6 p.m.)
Council President Garry Moneypenny called the caucus at the urging of some council members, particularly Councilman Russel Neal, Jr.
Topics are expected to include fire department promotions, the results of the recent Safe Surrender program and the possibility of adding speed bumps in Akron neighborhoods to slow down motorists. Councilman Mike Freeman has long been a proponent of speed bumps.To read more or comment...
Have you ever noticed how often Cleveland and Akron come up as the punchline in a movie or television show?
Those who live in Northeast Ohio often bristle at the negative mentions, and applaud the fleeting positive associations.
A Beacon Journal colleague who complained about one of the leads on a story about Cleveland getting the 2016 Republican convention today made me wonder how various newspapers chose to start their stories about this historic opportunity. So, for your reading pleasure, here are a few samples. You can decide if they put Cleveland in a positive or negative light. (Links are included to the full stories.)

The Akron Planning Commission has two new members.
Akron City Council this week approved the appointment of former Akron Councilman Ken Jones and former Chief of Staff Rick Merolla to the commission. They will each serve five year terms.
Jones, a Ward 5 councilman, lost in the last election. Merolla retired last summer after a long tenure with the city.
Fusco said Jones and Merolla will be "a very good fit" for the commission with their previous experience.To read more or comment...
Akron is hoping to land the new Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. plant.
Akron City Council passed a resolution this week urging Goodyear to pick Akron for its new $500 million factory.
"We've proven to Goodyear that we are willing to do what it takes," said Councilman Jeff Fusco, referring to the package that the city, Summit County and state put together to convince Goodyear to keep its headquarters in Akron. "We have the talent, infrastructure and loyalty. We are asking them to give us a shot!"
Mayor Don Plusquellic previously sent a letter to Goodyear leaders and spoke with the head of the search committee.To read more or comment...
David Pepper, the Democratic candidate for attorney general, held a news conference in Akron today to criticize state cuts to addiction services funding to local communities.
The cuts begin today and will total $20 million statewide.
"Ohio's heroin crisis is spiraling out of control, and this is the exact wrong time to be cutting critical addiction treatment funds," Pepper said in a news release. "Instead of more cuts from Columbus, we need proactive leadership that adds both treatment and enforcement to finally get this crisis under control."
The Associated Press reported that a state change in how it funnels federal dollars to local communities for addiction services will result in a $20 million shortfall. The state will distribute $63 million in 18 months rather than over a year to address cash flow problems.To read more or comment...

Black Sabbath tops Billboard album chart for the first time ever
Listen to Black Sabbath on iHeartRadio
It's a career first for Black Sabbath. More than 40 years after their debut on the Billboard 200 chart, the veteran British rockers are coming up with their first-ever number one album on the chart.
Sabbath's Rick Rubin-produced 13 sold more than 155,000 copies in its first week to top the Billboard 200 and also topped charts in the U.K., Denmark, Germany, New Zealand and Switzerland.
Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy Osbourne calls it "another incredible milestone" for the band, thanking fans for their support and loyalty.
13 is the band's first album in 35 years to feature founding members Osbourne, bassist Geezer Butler and guitarist Tony Iommi. Black Sabbath will launch their North American tour in support of "13" on July 25th in Houston, Texas.
