Better for Babies: Helping Low-Income Families Access Quality Child Care Options
Sep 24, 2013
By Stephanie Schmit and Hannah Matthews
This post is the fourth installment in a series highlighting the findings from CLASP's recent study and subsequent publication, "Better For Babies: A Study of State Infant and Toddler Child Care Policies."
Recently, CLASP released a report, Better for Babies: A Study of State Infant and Toddler Child Care Policies, that presents data from a recent state survey of child care subsidy, licensing, and quality enhancement policies. It provides a national picture of infant-toddler child care.
The new report is part of CLASP's Charting Progress for Babies in Child Care Project. The foundation of Charting Progress is a Policy Framework comprised of four key principles describing what babies and toddlers in child care need. One of the key principles is that families need access to quality child care options. For low-income families, child care assistance is essential to affording the high costs of infant and toddler care. State child care subsidy policies can determine whether and how parents with very young children can get and retain assistance for and access to quality care.
Findings from the Better for Babies Survey related to access to quality options for infant and toddler care:
- Twenty-five states set their maximum subsidy eligibility determination period at 12 months for most families. The remaining states extend shorter authorization periods to families before requiring redetermination of eligibility. Four states (Illinois, Nevada, New York, and South Dakota) allow longer eligibility periods for children receiving subsidies who also attend Early Head Start, which is allowable under CCDBG regulations. In practice, all families may not be authorized for the maximum eligibility period. All states require families to report changes, such as those in employment or income, which would impact their eligibility status between periods of redetermination; however, some states have taken steps in recent years to limit what families are required to report and how often. Longer eligibility periods for subsidies may support continuity of care for infants and toddlers.
- According to what states reported in this survey and a 2012 analysis by the National Women's Law Center (NWLC), only three states (Arkansas, Hawaii, and New York) set their standard reimbursement rate for a one-year-old in center-based care at the recommended 75th percentile of a current market rate survey. Only New York set its rates for both one-year-olds and four-year-olds at the recommended 75th percentile. Higher reimbursement rates allow providers to better meet the high costs of infant care and allows families access to more child care options
- Thirty-two states have tiered reimbursement rates. Of those, approximately 80 percent still have a reimbursement rate for center-based care that is below the 75th percentile of current market rates.
- Twenty-two states reported offering differential rates for infant-toddler care. What this means varies by state. For example, in California, according to the 2012-2013 state plan, contracted child care centers caring for infants receive a 70 percent higher rate above the standard reimbursement rate and those caring for toddlers receive a rate 40 percent higher. For infant and toddler caregivers in family child care homes, the adjustment factor is 20 percent.
- Fourteen states reported using contracts to increase the supply or improve the quality of infant-toddler care. States utilize different strategies when creating contracts. Some states contract directly with the child care providers, while others offer sub-grants to communities or other entities.
- Forty-one states reported that they pay child care providers for days when a child is absent from care. These policies widely vary, with the number of allowable absent days deviating up to 10 days per month. One exception is Idaho, which does not limit the number of allowable absent days. According to a recent NWLC fact sheet, many states are beginning to put stricter guidelines on their absent day policies by reducing the number of hours or days that are reimbursed.
- Of the 37 states that currently have Quality Rating and Improvement Systems (QRIS), 35 states reported that they include quality standards specific to infant-toddler care, with guidelines specific to infants and toddlers across the social, emotional, physical and cognitive domains.
- Twenty-one states reported that they provide varying monetary or non-monetary support for family child care networks.
- Thirty-three states reported that they support (through play-and-learn groups, supports to help providers become licensed, health and safety trainings, etc.) the license-exempt FFN providers caring for infants and toddlers.

Three Severe Blows To The Mind -MP3-
November 2nd 2007
In case you have just discovered this blog, the following three tracks might forever change your understanding of what African music can sound like. Try to forget all that "world music" crap you might have been accidentally exposed to earlier in your life, forget everything about hippies with dreadlocks and drums in the park. Just click onto the record cover or labels and listen:
I've played the Ferry Djimmy track on my last radio show with Mr. Finewine so some of you might already know it. Last week I found another copy of this 45 and it seems that this is an earlier release on Djimmy's own label. This man never ceases to blow my mind. Not only was he wearing an iron cross around his neck, four watches on one wristband and called his private record label "Revolution Records", he also rocked harder than the MC5! Djimmy definitely knew what time it was!
This unbelievably hard and funky version of "Sookie Sookie" by Orchestre African Fiesta was recorded in Congo around 1968. This also was included in an earlier mix but I've never seen this record in it's original form. The 1970s reissue on "African Records" is already close to impossible to find. I only ever came across two completely hammered copies until last week I found the OG on Congolese Decca! Not only does the OG version include an additional drum break but also it sounds much, much clearer and louder!
This last example of outrageously deep and heavy African Funk once more comes from Cotonou's mythical Orchestre Poly Rythmo. I guess by now, I own enough of their records (and I'm only talking about their funky stuff...) to spin two nights in a row without playing one record twice. "Ma Tafou Gnin O" leads us into new psychedelic depths. The sax and organ solos towards the end are simply killing it.
I'm currently busy cleaning up the records that I found on my last trip. New mixes and lots of cover scans will show up here within the next days.

Forgiveness of sins follows confession and leads to true blessing
Now (Psalm 32) we have what he wants still more the forgiveness of sins. The pressure of affliction turns him to God's law, but to the consciousness of having broken it. Righteousness in that sense he could not plead: forgiveness was his need, and that Jehovah should not impute the iniquity he had, and was brought to acknowledge. Long he had striven against this; but Jehovah gave him no rest. But he confesses sin, and guile is gone from his heart: impossible till then. We are hiding iniquity in it. Forgiveness in grace draws the godly man to God. In the water-floods they do not come nigh him. Jehovah is the hiding-place of the soul preserves, blesses, guides. Only they are warned to be intelligent through obedience, and not to be without understanding, so that God must guide by providential power.Remark here that while forgiveness is celebrated (and the remnant will deeply need it), yet the great distinctive truth which separates them from the mass of the people is kept up distinctly trust, righteousness, and integrity of heart. To the wicked there are sorrows.
In principle, such a psalm, blessed be God, has the widest application. For the remnant it is prophetic, to induce truth in the inward parts, and encourage them by goodness to that confession of sin in which alone God can bless, as is ever the case. For forgiveness and no guile go together. They will only know full acceptance when they look upon Him whom they have pierced, who comes as Jehovah to deliver. But let us lay to heart the great principle of this psalm. Full absolute forgiveness, the not imputing sin at all, is what takes guile from the heart. Else we flee from God, excuse, palliate, if we dare not justify. Where full pardon is before us, we have courage to be true in heart. Who will not declare all his debts when their discharge by another is the only thing in question? who not tell his malady for a certain cure? Grace brings truth into the heart brought to confess its transgressions. He finds all the burden of his sins gone. The humble and godly are encouraged to draw near to a God thus known. "There is forgiveness with thee, that thou mightest be feared." The psalm will encourage the remnant thus to true confession. When possessed, they will enter into full blessing. We thus see how it is a prophetic preparation and school for them, drawing out before them what will not all be accomplished when they are thus brought to look to Jehovah, but which they thus know will be. Hence these psalms speak of Jehovah's character, as it has been proved with the inspired composers; in principle, often in letter, with Christ, in order to draw out the confidence of the Jews in the day of distress, and to comfort every uneasy soul. Thus the celebration of complete deliverance is mixed with the cry for it, because it is prophetic and has had fulfilments.
Psalm 33 has its just place after the forgiveness of the people. Before we pass on to these psalms, remark how the guilelessness of heart produced by complete forgiveness leads to that intimacy with God which gives us to be guided by His eye. We have His mind with Himself, and that in the perfectness of His own nature in which He reveals it. Forgiveness leads to full blessing.Synopsis by John Darby

Václav Havel: Outtakes from an InterviewBy Adam Thirlwell
My first memory of Václav Havel is of watching the news as a kid, after the Hanna-Barbera cartoons, and seeing pictures of Havel in his living room: a prison of stuffed bookshelves. For me, Havel was the image of a literary hero, an ideal of literature as integrity.
I've always, in other words, been a sucker for the questions of Prague—especially Prague in the era of Soviet Communism, probably because these questions all relate to a larger problem: a writer's responsibility and resistance to political life, the serious business of being flippant. In the setups of his farcical plays and—following his imprisonment in 1977 for involvement in a human-rights charter—through the patient linguistic analysis of his essays, Havel's subject was always the same: how language can be made to connive in unreality. But he also believed that words could be renovated, that a politics was possible. And this hope led him, for instance, to the courage of the following statement in his 1977 trial: there were certain words, he said, "which recur continually in the indictment and which one would describe as loaded, words like subversion, lies, malice, illegal organizations, anticommunist centers, vilification, hatred and so on. However, when one looks closely at these words, one finds that there is nothing behind them." Just as it made him read Bellow's libertine Herzog, in prison, in these dissident terms: "A professional with 'words' goes mad in a situation where words have no weight. He clearly lacks what we do not, which is to say a situation in which words have so much weight that you must pay quite dearly for them."
This was why, in the summer of 2010, I found myself proposing a Paris Review interview to Havel. I wanted to ask him my own series of Prague questions, about his love of Bohumil Hrabal's stories, the cinema of the Czech New Wave, his intuition of farce … These questions, basically, were one big question: What was it like for a writer, as he did, to end up in the Presidential Palace?
The Interview, however, turned into a melancholy comedy of its own. Read More

$90 for a cup of coffee: world's most expensive blend is defecated from an animal
Coffee snobs can now take it to a whole new level. The world's most expensive cup of coffee is made from beans that are extracted from the excrement of a small animal.
The Kopi Kuwak is famously produced by the Paradoxurus, a relative of three different breeds of civet, a slinky mammal that looks like a cross between a cat and a mongoose. The coffee blends originates on the Indonesian island of Sumatra and is produced when the Paradoxurus eats coffee cherries, digests them and then the beans are extracted, cleaned and roasted.
Amazingly, a cup of Kopi Kuwak typically costs about $90. Or, you can pick up a pound of the beans for around $1,000. Just getting a cup of the coffee typically requires an appointment.
Is it the unusual and labor-intensive process that drives up the price? Or, is there something truly, well, unique about its taste?
The coffee website Funnel Mill describes the Kopi Kuwak process as, "The resulting coffee is said to be like no other. It has a rich, heavy flavor with hints of caramel and chocolate. Other terms used to describe it are earthy, aromatic, sweet and exotic. The body is almost syrupy and it is probably the smoothest coffee known to mankind."
However, the website Touch of Modern is offering a limited run of Kopi Kuwak that is far less expensive. You can pick up a bag of Kopi Luwak Arabica for less than $30. Buying three 150 gram packages of the blend will set you back about $600 but that's still quite a bit less than purchasing the bleind at its full price.
So, what do you think? Would you spend $600, or even $30, to try the world's most rare and expensive coffee?

Jammie Thomas-Rasset's Lawyers Appeal $222,000 Fine to Supreme Court
Jason Mick

The consul argues the defendant's due process rights were violated
Could the highest profile music piracy case to be brought against an individual in the U.S. be headed to
The Supreme Court of the United States
(SCOTUS)? That's the outcome lawyers for working mom Jammie Thomas-Rasset are hoping for.
The defendant's legal team
has filed
a petition for certiorari claiming that their client's right to due process has been violated. The case has been kicked around the courts for some time.
Ms. Thomas-Rasset first lost in a June 2009 jury verdict, with the jury deciding on a
$1.92M USD fine
, arguing that lawyers for music labels like Sony Corp.'s (
) BMG and their trade group the
Recording Industry Association of America
(RIAA) has sufficiently proved that the working mom had willfully-infringed on 24 songs.
After the
U.S. Department of Justice
approved the verdict
, the matter seemed settled, setting a rather draconian precedent. But a judge
cut the fine to a mere
Then it was deja vu all over again -- the case went to retrial, a jury found Ms. Thomas-Rasset guilty of another huge fine (
$1.5M USD, this time
), and then the judge yet again bumped the fine
to $54,000 USD

Most recently the RIAA,
et al.
appealed the reduction
, and the fine was bumped back slightly to $222,000 USD, where it currently sits. That appeal prompted Ms. Thomas-Rasset's lawyers to ask the SCOTUS to hear the case.
The defendant's lawyers cite
State Farm v. Campbell
BMW v. Gore
, and
St. Louis I.M. & S. Railway Co. v. Williams
as relevant cases. These cases all involved the plaintiff seeking a large amount of punitive damages (for example Dr. Ira Gore sued BMW and initially won $4M USD in punitive damages after BMW sold him a repainted vehicle and claimed it was new). In each case the SCOTUS ruled that there should be reasonable limits, based on the scope of the civil offense, to punitive damages.
The RIAA and big media backers are estimated to have spent over $3M USD on the case; Ms. Thomas-Rasset has received much of her legal services and fees paid for via donations.

Brussels, 6 June 2011 – A revolving door between the European Parliament and industry lobbyists could undermine the ability of MEPs to act in the public interest, according to a new report from Corporate Europe Observatory (CEO) published today (Monday) [1].
The research and campaign group is urging the European Parliament's President Jerzy Buzek to address the issue when he convenes his working group this week [2].
A significant number of former MEPs have gone into industry lobbying jobs, using their knowledge of the system and their extensive contacts, to promote industry interests in the Parliament.
For example, former UK Conservative John Purvis, now chairs the Financial Future Forum for Brussels lobbyists Cabinet DN; former Irish MEP John Cushnahan (Fine Fail), now lobbies MEPs on behalf of British American Tobacco; and the Austrian MEP Hubert Pirker (EPP) set up EU Triconsult following his previous time as an MEP. Pirker, who returned to the Parliament following the resignation of Ernst Strasser, has now dissolved the company.
Campaigners say that the revolving door between the Parliament and lobby consultancies creates serious conflicts of interest. When MEPs move straight into lobbying jobs, there is also the risk that such contracts are a reward for favours done while the MEP was still in office.
Other MEPs retain close ties with industry while still in office, including via former assistants who have moved into lobbying positions. For example, the French MEP Françoise Grossetête (EPP) has strong links with the pharmaceutical industry, and has openly defended its interests. Her former assistant is now employed as the Senior Manager European Affairs at Sanofi Aventis.
CEO's transparency campaigner Vicky Cann said:
"Far too many MEPs are going through the revolving door into industry lobby jobs, which can lead to unacceptable conflicts of interest. The Buzek working group must address this issue and act to prevent the influence of industry undermining public duty."
CEO – together with the ALTER-EU coalition - is calling for MEPs:
• to be barred from negotiating lobby roles while still in office
• to face an 18-month cooling off period before taking up a lobbying role
• former MEPs employed as lobbyists should also be required to surrender their access passes to the Parliament.
The organisation also wants to see action to block MEPs from taking second jobs which involved acting in personal or others interests, including through lobbying European institutions and agencies.
MEPs should be forced to declare all additional earnings, and a cap should be introduced, limiting extra earnings to a proportion of their MEP's salary.
Vicky Cann, email: email@example.com, tel: +32 (0)2 893 0930, Mobile: +32 (0)489 596 478 /

[1] Caught in the Parliament's revolving door, Nikolaj Nielsen for Corporate Europe Observatory, June 2011 http://www.corporateeurope.org/lobbycracy/content/2011/06/european-parli...
[2] The ad hoc working group led by Parliamentary President Jerzy Buzek was set up to examine the code of conduct for MEPs as well as improving transparency around relations between MEPs and lobbyists, after four MEPs were caught in a newspaper sting operation appearing to be prepared to accept cash in return for tabling amendments. The group is set to meet on Wednesday 8 June 2011.

Quote from: gramma dishes on December 19, 2013, 01:22:26 PMDominick's?Yup. I had my first job there and it was wonderful way back when. I even learned confidence to interact with people after being bullied in school. It started going downhill when Safeway brought them out, but I still shopped there frequently. It's sad that's going to be my last memory of them.
Petco.com. My old watering system for my dog had a hole in the upper bottle (whole another story to how it got there) So I go to petco.com to find a replacement system. Find one I like, it's on sale and site says in stock. Because I hate filling a dog bowl every day (3 dogs in the house) I clicked the 2 day shipping. On the day it is to arrive I receive an e-mail that it's back ordered! I go to check on it and the link doesn't say when it will be in stock. So I open live chat, to ask if my 2 day shipping charge will be refunded and to ask if the item was back ordered why didn't the site say so when I placed the order, and when will it be in stock. Get told by a representative that the item is being pullled and I won't be charged till it ships. We kept going round and round till a phone call had me end the session. Waited a day, rechecked my order status, still backordered. Try to do live chat and the feature is down. For a entire week. Finally get e-mail the following Monday that it has been shipped. Total time from ordering to arrival 7 business days, and 2 weekend days, for a total of 9. Was charged for 2 day shipping, and my e-mail to the company has gone unanswered. I could understand back orders this close to Christmas but I ordered this product right after Thanksgiving. And my friends wonder why I prefer to shop in person.
Sounds like a lot of folks are done with Target.
I thought all credit and debit cards were at risk, not just target-issued cards? The article I read said to watch your account if you used a card at any target between something like 11/27 and 12/15.
Quote from: JenJay on December 20, 2013, 09:35:36 PMI thought all credit and debit cards were at risk, not just target-issued cards? The article I read said to watch your account if you used a card at any target between something like 11/27 and 12/15.Ijust went to bank and had them reissue a debit card (done in 5 minutes) so I am not too worried. Will be keeping an eye on my account for the next few weeks just to be safe but I have not written off target.
Speaking of salads, there's a restaurant in my home town that we'll never go to again. I asked to go there for my birthday, which is on July 22 (this becomes important in a minute). My older daughter, who's a vegan, took a look at their online menu and found a very nice-sounding salad that she wanted to order. When we went there for my birthday, Daughter asked for the salad - only to be told "Sorry, we're not serving that until the summer."I repeat - this was JULY 22.
I think I'm about to write off my local CVS pharmacy.I went in yesterday to pick up my prescription and wait in line behind two people at the pick up line and when it's my turn the clerk said I had to go to the drop off window in order to renew my insurance. So I go and wait in the drop off line behind three people until someone is able to run my insurance through. I'm told to go back to the pick up line which now has four people in it. I ask the clerk who just ran my insurance if she can ring me up since I've already waited in line two times and she told me no. Fine.So I wait in line for a third time and finally get to ring my prescription up. When I mentioned this to the original clerk she said it was company policy to do that now because it was quicker that way.

Five Everett Silvertips were listed in the NHL Central Scouting Service's final rankings for the 2013 NHL draft, which were released Wednesday.
Swiss defenseman Mirco Mueller led the way for the Tips. He's ranked ninth among North American skaters. The ranking was three spots ahead of where he was ranked at the midterm, and it made him the third-ranked Western Hockey League skater. The ranking suggests Mueller is a candidate to be picked in the first round.
Goaltender Austin Lotz was ranked 10th among North American goalies. Lotz moved up one spot from the midterm rankings, and he's expected to be a mid- to late-round pick.
Everett had three other defensemen crack the rankings among North American skaters. Ben Betker, who was not ranked at the midterm, was ranked 147th. Ayrton Nikkel was 149th and Austin Adam was 175th, both moving up slightly from their midterm rankings. All three are ranked in the range that makes them borderline selections.
Everett had two players picked in last year's NHL draft. Defenseman Ryan Murray was selected second overall by the Columbus Blue Jackets. Defenseman Nick Walters, since traded to Brandon, was a fourth-round pick by the St. Louis Blues.
Former Silvertips prospect Seth Jones, a defenseman who announced he wouldn't play for Everett last offseason and was subsequently traded to Portland, was ranked No. 1 among North American skaters and is the favorite to be picked first overall. Also, winger Trent Lofthouse, who was traded to Victoria midseason, came in at No. 126 among North American skaters.

PARIS — Organizers of the annual Cartes Congress (now the Cartes & IDentification Congress) plan a number of innovations for the 2008 show, which is scheduled for November 4 through 6 at the Paris-Nord Villepinte Exhibition Center here. The event will focus on e-transactions and ID management, and will focus on the dynamic United States market. Japan was the nation of honor last year.
In 2007, the Congress inaugurated a co-located show, IDentification, to give visitors the benefit of the synergy between the two overlapping industries. This was a great success, the organizers report, and it will return this year. The 2008 event is expected to draw more than 20,000 visitors, 520 exhibiting companies and 1,700 conference delegates.
Prompting designation of the U.S. as 2008 nation of honor is the observation by the event's sponsors that this country "has been a genuine pioneer in terms of transport, payment, exchanges and loyalty applications." Moreover, they added, "Compared to the rise of contactless technology in Europe, the United States appear to be very much ahead when it comes to its deployment via multiple applications such as electronic documents or payment cards. The secure electronic transactions market represents a strategic area, one where the U.S. is actively involved and is consequently tending to impose a number of new technological standards."
This year's parallel IDentification trade show will display the state of the art in biometrics, documents securing, authentication, physical and logical access control, encryption and RF identification.
The opening session will be a World Card Summit, at which a panel of industry leaders will offer their perspectives on industry developments. Showgoers also will be able to avail themselves of the Mobile Transaction TechZone, another program inaugurated last year to widespread applause. It offers a detailed overview of the latest products and services in the areas of machine-to-machine (M2M) communications, transaction security, kiosk technology, and a variety of RFID implementations. It's organized in partnership with the Near-Field Communications Forum, and NFC applications will be prominent among the exhibits (NFC is a popular cashless payment system based on an RFID device typically built into a mobile telephone handset.)
Another highlight of the Cartes & IDentification Congress will be the presentation of the coveted Sesame Awards, which are open to all companies in the sectors studied, whether or not they exhibit. Winners in 10 categories are selected by a jury of experts, and are honored at a gala event on the evening before the show opens.
The Congress is administered by Comexposium (Paris), a new trade show management organization formed by the alliance of Exposium and Comexpo; official partner is Eurosmart (Brussels, Belgium), an international association representing the smart security industry.
Information on attending or exhibiting at the show, and online registration, may be found at www.cartes.com.

Are you using a Live CD ?
When I log into BT4R2 and use startx it loads the desktop, however there is a problem. It only loads up two workspaces, even when I have previously set it to 4. Anytime I log out and boot back up it is always reset to the default 2 workspaces.
The easiest way to fix this I guess would be to locate where the default values are saved.
Now I have noticed there is a default button in the manager that allows you to change the number of workspaces, which means if my logic proves right there must be some sort of configuration file that holds these default values within them so they may be recalled at a later time.
My question is, where is this configuration file located? And if there is one how would I edit it to change the default from 2 to 4? Just by changing a value or would there be more involved?
Thank you.

Do not read the Wiki, most your questions will not be answered there !

No I am not, however it seems to have fixed itself. I will post if that changes....weird.
Thanks though.

Sandy • It wasn't about the destination. It was about the ride and the pit stops. It was about the guys playing alongside each other, sprinting around a field just the way it was when they were in fifth grade, learning the ins and outs of the game.
The ride the Wasatch Wasps went on this year was irreplaceable, a season that will be talked about for a long time. Some players have played together since they were 12, and others dating back to second grade.
"Unexplainable," senior defender Cesar Vargas said.
There's actually quite a lot to explain. The Wasps won the Class 3A boys' soccer state crown Saturday, slipping past archival Park City 1-0 at Rio Tinto Stadium to finish the 2013 season a perfect 20-0.
The state title was the program's second in three years.
During his 23-year tenure at the helm, Wasatch coach Dawain Wheatley has experienced highs the school's first title game in a 1-0 win over Juan Diego in 2011 but he's seen countless classes roll through the school ending their careers in heartbreak.
Winning a state title is not easy.
"This group had creativity," he said. "But like all the groups that came through, we had the passion."
The passion to work through every obstacle thrown in their direction. They won two double-overtime games this season, fought off Dixie in the quarterfinals in a penalty shootout, survived a thriller against Ogden in the semis and rode Vargas' penalty kick rocket in the 15th minute Saturday to a championship.
"It's not a team," Vargas said, "it's a family."
Wheatley and his players said they never expected to run the tables entering the season. The focus of the season was to take each game as seriously as a state championship, never relent no matter the opponent and play the fast-paced, imaginative style of soccer this group of Wasps had grown to embody.
"I think we were all feeling the pressure," senior midfielder Hunter Ketterer said, "but we all knew that we could do it."
They did it, overcoming dramatic do-or-die scenarios when it mattered most.
"These kids know what it's like to lose," Wheatley said, "because we've been this close."
As a team that featured 13 seniors and a plethora of talented underclassmen, Wasatch perpetually forced the issue with opponents this season. When it had an opportunity to create something going toward the goal, the players had the confidence to drop jaws in the crowd.
Long after they'd won it all, the Wasps hoisted injured senior Alex Espinoza into the air. The diminutive star had suffered a tendon injury in his ankle during the last game of the regular season, an injury that clearly hampered his relentless style of play.
But the injury, as he described it, healed when it wasn't supposed to. He played Saturday and was part of the mob scene when the Wasps capped perfection.
"Not many people do that," Espinoza said.
Not the way the Wasps did. Not the way they came to their final destination.

After the success of recent Fighting Machines events, we are pleased to announce our first event in 2013, Fighting Machines 6, will be held on 23rd March at the Robin Park Arena in Wigan. The Robin Park, an 800+ seated venue with a tiered block on one side, may be familiar to boxing fans, with high profile British names such as John Murray, Jamie Moore and World Champion in waiting, St Helens Martin Murray having fought there on numerous occasions.
The venue has fantastic facilities including adequate parking, disabled access, bar facilities and walking distance to the local Retail Park.
The card for this event will feature a number of A class bouts and a quality B+C class undercard.
We are delighted to confirm our Main Event:
67kg A class Full Thai Rules
Brad Stanton (Kiatphontip, Leeds) vs Sam Omomogbie (Liam's Gym)
This is a fight that everyone one has been talking about and we are excited to be showcasing it on Fighting Machines. These two have been blasting their way through the 67kg division and both have a number of KO's on their records.
Brad claimed the Commonwealth title after stopping Jerseys Michael Blood in the 1st round on the last Fighting Machines and then took a late place in a K1 tournament and had a great fight but was unsuccessful this time but is ready to fight again.
He has beaten other quality names such as Richmond Annan, Salah Abdulsalem and Nathan Epps, losing only to the latter two in very close contests. His record stands at 12 wins from 14 fights.
Sam is a force to be reckoned with and has an impressive CV with 10 victories from 13 fights, including wins over Sean Perry, Solomon Wickstead and Jonno Chipchase.
He too has just taken a late fight with a few days notice and defeated Michael Blood on his home show in Jersey . His trainer, European Champion Liam Robinson, stated Sam would be even better if he actually trained for a fight Amazing!!
Both of these lads are strong, technical, aggressive fighters and this will be a real don't-blink affair!
And co-main event:
84kg 5x3 'oriental rules'
Joe Mcgovan (SDF, Sheffield) vs Lyndon Knowles (Minotaurs)
These two World champions will collide in what will surely be one of the fights of the year!
Hard-hitting Mcgovan will be looking to add another KO to his CV against the more experienced Knowles. Mcgovan won the WFKKO World title with a win over Marlon Hunt and has a professional record of 11 wins from 14 bouts with a KO average above 90%.
Knowles boasts a hugely impressive 32wins from his 40 fights, including a successful WRSA World Title win over Christian Di Paolo. He is a two-time World Champion with some huge scalps under his belt.
This fight has all the makings of a classic!
Our first supporting fight is an A class contest at 68kg max:
Josh Turbill (Spitfire, Heywood) vs Ste Long (Hanuman)
This fight will be explosive! Turbill made his return to the ring after a long layoff on Fighting Machines 5, stopping Scott Richards inside 3 rounds. Known for his devastating clinch work, Josh is a great technician and has beaten some of the country's top names, including Salah Abdulsalem, Sean Perry, Nathan Epps and Darren Till. His record stands at 16wins, 1 draw, 1 loss.
Long is also a bright prospect and has been making a name for himself with a number of impressive performances, most recently in a win against Mike Egan. He boasts a perfect record of 12 straight wins and is eager to pit himself against the big names at welterweight.
Also featuring:
60kg A class Full Thai Rules:
Tim Nutter (Kiatphontip, Leeds) VS James Hawksworth (Wigan Thai)
Two young skilled fighters who are now competing at A class after some impressive wins at B class and now ready for the next level.
Plus exciting fighters on the show:
Sean Perry
Craig Jones
Ian Houillebecq
Ste Foy
John Kaufman
Danny Horton
Paul Sudworth
+ many more.
More fights to be announced soon.

Back then, Ramsay was an up-and-coming player in the food world, a working class Scot whose father drank too much and abused him.
By his early thirties, Ramsay had a burgeoning empire of his own and a series of Michelin stars to show for it.
Ramsay doubtless felt the need to make something extraordinary from this pulpy departure point.
At one point, Ramsay is shown crowing over one of their desserts.
Ramsay was jerked out of his absorption in the net by two shrill blasts.
Sacrificed in the treaty, as stated by Dr. Ramsay and Mr. Hildreth.
They came near the end of the rope and Ramsay slowed his strokes a little.
Ramsay agreed with me that it was one of the best published for a long time.
Ramsay laid a friendly hand on Black's mane, and the little horse followed willingly into the barn.
If you chance to meet Ramsay will you ask him whether he has it?

Williams Sonoma Tamales
Spicy food has a tendency to whip me into a verbal frenzy. (As well a sensory overload of yum). Problem is, making spicy Mexican food is, well, something I have tendency to fail at (see my inch thick tortillas). There are Mexican places in town, but I haven't found a good tamale in town...enter the internet. Hello Tamale. (isn't that what the internet is for after all?)

Dev Patel Gossip
Dev Patel gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
I think we're through
At least until The Last Airbender has been purged. I am a fickle bitch, as you know, especially when it comes to quiver. Just the smallest, smallest aberration, it's enough to kill it forever. Especially when it's a young actor without a strong foundation, without history, without a body of work to sustain him through the sh-t times. Full Story
Freida & Dev in Montreal
Freida Pinto has been in Montreal shooting Immortals. Her boyfriend Dev Patel is in town to join her, seen here together leaving the gym yesterday after a workout. Dev can soon be seen in theatres in The Last Airbender. He plays the bad guy. Of course he does. Because brown people suck. They sure f-cked the sh-t out of that cast didn't they? They whited out all the minorities. Full Story
Front Row Amazingness
Please. I nearly fainted. Look at this front row in London at Burberry last night. My Gwyneth sandwiched between my Emma and Mario Testino, and Liv Tyler on the other side, then Daisy Lowe, then Mary-Kate Olsen, and publicly loved up Freida Pinto and Dev Patel. In another section, Victoria Beckham was also seated front row…but she wasn't invited to the girl party. Full Story
Slumdog love in NYC
Freida Pinto and Dev Patel are in New York and were spotted by paps returning to their hotel last night after dinner. Dev jumped out a block ahead to avoid being photographed together. Um. Please. Why the f-cking drama? Maybe it's that whole she was married and then became famous and ditched her poor husband allegation. Full Story
Oscar finally: Freida Pinto
Loved it. Finally not a prom dress. Maybe not the hair but the blue and the detail and the way it moved – in person this was magnificent. In person she popped. In person it took away the headache of Beyonce and replaced it with a calm serenity. In person this girl… This girl makes you feel good about the world. Full Story
Of course she's here
Sienna Miller arrived in LA yesterday afternoon and, what did you expect?, headed straight for a party, seen here at the Grey Goose event last night with Dev Patel. Are you worried? Our sweet young Dev corrupted by Sienna? He's not married. She's not interested. You shouldn't worry. Full Story
BAFTA Unspoiled: Dev Patel
Please let him stay this way – so humble and grateful and eager and sweet. Here's Dev Patel at the BAFTAs riding the incredible wave, and still as amazed as he was 2 months ago when this thing took off. Dev is adorable! Did you see him on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart? If not, you MUST. Full Story
Last night at the London Film Critics Circle Awards – a mini Skins reunion! Returning home, the triumphant Dev Patel hooked up with former Skins co-star Nicolas Hoult who appeared delighted to see that his old friend is riding such an incredible wave. You may remember Nicolas…or not. About a Boy? Marcus? This is Nicolas. Full Story
Slumdog DGA
Slumdog Millionaire director Danny Boyle took home top honours this weekend at the Directors Guild Awards in Hollywood. Dev Patel and Freida Pinto were with him to help celebrate. Freida was also spotted in Little India, southeast of Los Angeles, at a photo shoot the other day. As you can see, she's ridiculously beautiful. Full Story
SAG Awards Wrap-Up
Slumdog is sweeping everything. Like, everything. But never forget what the Academy did to Brokeback. So the SAGs happened last night. The Brange, as usual, had them screaming loudest even though Angelina decided to put everyone to sleep in her toga. But Meryl, Kate, Tina Fey…how's that for a power lady trifecta? We'll break down the Oscar implications in the days to come. Full Story
Slumdog vs Goliath
So you know by now, it's Slumdog the Underdog vs Benjamin Button Goliath at the Oscars. Understand who Academy members actually are: old people and Hollywood players. This is why Crash won so undeservedly over Brokeback Mountain. Because they voted for their friends. Benjamin Button is a Hollywood movie. Full Story

Giving credit where credit is due
Registration is now open for SCALE 9X — register now by clicking on the winking penguin.
Last week, Amber Graner did an interview with yours truly here. And when answering the question about my activities outside of Fedora — in which I am primarily involved when it comes to FOSS — I had a long, rambling answer about Lindependence 2008 and The Lindependence Project. But in tooting that particular horn, I mentioned Ken Starks but I neglected to mention two others who were — and still are — instrumental in the formation of The Lindependence Project and its ongoing maintenance.
Mea culpa, Stephen Rufle and Bob Lewis.
Stephen Rufle came up to Felton a few years ago from Phoenix, bringing his two boys and about a hundred stuffed penguins he makes at Open Animals. Using the GPL to license its patterns, Open Animals produces open source stuffed penguins — if you're so inclined, you can fork the pattern to make the penguin, or animal, of your choice, providing you release your creation under the GPL That's how it works. Anyway, Stephen and his sons were instrumental in making Lindependence 2008 a success back at its inception, and Stephen has, to date, hosted the lindependence.org site, which is currently undergoing a massive facelift. The reason for that is we're holding Lindependence Hours at various locations in Northern California and, watch this space, we'll be holding a Lindependence 2011 on or near Independence Day in Felton, California, at the Felton Presbyterian Church. Watch this space, and thanks very much for all you do for FOSS, Stephen.
I wish I had enough words that would be fitting for the superlatives Bob Lewis deserves. I met Bob at the Richard Stallman presentation at Cabrillo College in February 2008. Bob is a retired AT&T engineer who had also spent some time working at SCO — when it was the Santa Cruz Operation, based here in Santa Cruz, at a time when produced pretty good software before moving to Utah to become a litigation company. Bob was tireless in organizing and helping folks at Lindependence 2008, as well as being a spark plug in getting Felton LUG moving. Not only this, Bob is also an energetic evangelist for Linux and FOSS in the area, converting and helping many folks whom he has converted to Ubuntu. It would be nice to have a dollar for every time he comes to Redwood Digital and says, "Well, I have another convert." If anyone deserves to be at the top of the list for credit in Lindependence's success — the Felton Farmers Market Linux booth and the Felton LUG are offshoots of this success — it's Bob, and again I apologize for not mentioning it in the interview.
Thanks again guys for all you do.
(Fedora ambassador Larry Cafiero runs Redwood Digital Research in Felton, California, and is an associate member of the Free Software Foundation. He is also one of the founders of the Lindependence Project.)

Jessica & Jason
October 13
Grand Rapids, Michigan
Q & A with the couple:
What was the one thing about your venue that made you know it was the one?
When we first started searching for a venue we looked at a lot of country clubs. We realized that we love Grand Rapids and we really wanted something unique that would show our out-of-town guests why we love it so much. The Goei Center still features its original character and charm. We felt that it was a unique location that expressed our personalities and styles as a couple
Which three details from your wedding were your favorites?
1. The venue.
2. Jason's grandmother baked our wedding cake and Jessica's close friend Kasi created the cake's decorations. Jessica featured photographs of her grandmothers and great-grandmother on their wedding day on the cake table.
3. We had an accordionist play during the cocktail hour. It was a highlight for our guests.
We could go on and on, it's hard to pick just three.
Give us the one moment from your wedding day you can't stop thinking about.
Jessica: We chose not to see each other before the ceremony. We know that it is popular to do photographs before the ceremony, but for us it was important to keep that first view down the aisle authentic. We chose to have photographs done with the two of us on opposite sides of a brick wall, holding hands and exchanging cards. It was so exciting knowing that he was just around the corner but it still left an element of surprise and romance.
Jason: The entire ceremony. The humor of getting the microphone stuck on my grandmother's outfit. The constant reminders to myself to keep calm, and hoping that everyone couldn't see my legs quivering. To that first glance of seeing Jessica, the woman that was going to be my wife, escorted down the aisle with her parents. Those are images I will never forget and will always be able to replay again and again in my mind.

About self-watering planters
I love to grow fresh salad greens, tomatoes and herbs. But growing veggies during high summer means daily watering, which becomes a problem when we go away for vacation. In the past, we've hired the neighbor kid—sometimes he remembered, and sometimes we came home to withered veggies. Last summer I decided to build "self-watering" veggie planters that I could leave for a week without watering. The results were amazing. The planter boxes themselves were gorgeous, they kept rabbits and other critters from munching on my greens, and I went for weeks on end without having to water. I watered three times all summer long (no kidding), and we had garden-fresh salads until frost. In this article, I'll show you how to build one for yourself. The secret is in the perforated drain pipe.
Self-watering planters are sometimes called "sub-irrigated planters" or SIPs, because your plants get to "sip" water whenever they want. Our version uses inexpensive perforated drain pipe with a fabric sleeve in the bottom of the planter. Once you fill the drain pipe reservoirs, they allow air to circulate and water to wick up to your plants' roots whenever they need it. When plants are watered from below, the roots stay consistently moist, there's less evaporation and you don't need to water as much. The vinyl tubing allows any overflow water to drain. There are many commercial self-watering planters available—the EarthBox (earthbox.com) is one but you can easily make your own.
Top 8 Reasons to Build This Self-Watering Planter
- It saves your back and knees.
- You'll have fewer weeds.
- It waters your plants while you're away.
- It saves water.
- You'll have fresh veggies steps from your back door.
- It's easy to create the perfect soil.
- It protects your veggies from hungry critters.
- It's a handsome addition to your patio.
Self-Watering Planter Basics
- Choose a spot that gets at least six hours of sun. If your planter is against a wall, you can get by with less sun because of the reflected heat.
- A 4-ft.-wide planter is ideal for harvesting from both sides. Keep it to 3 ft. wide if you're placing your planter against a wall or fence.
- Line your planter with a "fish-safe" rubber membrane. It will prolong the life of the wood without leaching chemicals into the soil (and your food). You can buy fish-safe pond liners in different thicknesses and materials at home centers, garden centers and online retailers.
- Don't use garden soil or a heavy potting soil in your raised garden. Use a light, fluffy "soilless" blend that will retain moisture without compacting or becoming waterlogged. You can also buy potting soil specifically formulated for self-watering planters.
- Mulch your containers to keep weeds down and to slow evaporation.
- For more great ideas for building sub-irrigated planters (SIPs), visit insideurbangreen.org.
Build your own planting box
Photo 7: Position the drain pipe and the fill tube
Cut the perforated drain pipe into 6-ft. lengths. Space the drain pipes evenly along the deck floor, wedging the ends tightly against the short sides of the planter to keep soil out. Pack potting mix around the pipes to keep them straight. Stick a fill tube in the top end of one of the outside drain pipes. The water will flow from there into the other drain pipes through the perforations in the tubes.
Photos 1 – 6 show you how to build a handsome wood planter box. The total cost of my 3 x 6-ft. cedar planter was $330. If you use treated wood, the price would drop to about $250. And I used a thick EPDM pond liner, which cost $120. (You can buy thinner versions at home centers for about $35. All the other materials are available at home centers or garden/landscape centers.) To give the box a nice finished look, we routed the boards and sanded the faces and cap. We left the cedar unfinished, but you could seal yours. After we built the basic box, we moved the planter to its final position and then added the self-watering system, soil and plants. Even without the soil and plants, this planter is heavy!
Photos 7 and 8 show you how to construct the self-watering system. Once you're ready to plant, add a soilless mix to just below the top of the planter.
Once your plants are in, fill the drain pipe reservoirs through the fill tube until water runs out the drainage hole (this can take a while). The water will slowly wick out of the perforated pipes into the potting mix packed around it and eventually up into the potting mix and plant roots above.
You'll have to experiment to see how long your planter will stay moist. Fill the drain pipes whenever the soil feels dry 2 or 3 in. down. When I set mine up, I filled the drain pipes and gave the plants an initial surface watering and then mulched around them. After that, and despite a record hot summer, I refilled the pipes only three times over the summer and I had herbs and greens growing until the first frost!
Figure A: Self-Watering Planter
Overall dimensions: 3' x 6' x 23 1/2"
For Material List, Cutting List, and Plant choices for containers, see Additional Information below.
Note: We notched the flooring to fit (Photo 5). You can also fit the floor within the 2x2s as shown and let the liner span the gap.
Building Tips
- When assembling the box ends (Photo 1) and sides (Photo 2), leave gaps between the planks to allow for expansion and contraction. I used 1/16-in. washers as spacers.
- To determine where to put your planter floor (Photo 4), add together your soil depth, the flooring thickness and the height of the drain pipe and add an inch to that so the soil level will sit an inch below the top of the box.
- For greater strength, use 2x2 horizontal cleats (33 in. long for our planter) for each end and 2x4s for the center two joists.
- Don't miter the top cap—miter joints open with changes in humidity. Butt joints will look neater than miter joints over time.
- Wedging the ends of the drain pipe against the planter will prevent potting mix from getting into the pipes.
- Wedge the CPVC fill tube tightly into the top of the drain pipe. It should be long enough to poke out of the top of your soil once your container is planted (Photo 7). You only need one—the water will flow into all the drain pipes.
Video: How to Build a Sub Irrigated Planter System
If you like fresh vegetables and herbs from the garden, but don't think you can have a garden, Elisa Bernick, an editor at The Family Handyman, shows you how to build a sub irrigated planter system (also called a self-watering planter) that will allow you to grow your favorite foods and keep them watered, even while you are on vacation.

Normally (depending on which definition of normal you are using), I am not given to much grumbling. I do admit to every now and then exercising my right to complain a little, but it is not anything to write home about.
If you would inquire with the Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage she might have a different opinion altogether. It seems that the only thing we really agree on is that we do not agree on too much. Our biggest disagreement would be in this area of grumbling.

Great interview with BAMMA Londsale title contender Dale Hardiman by our man Jeevan (@JeevanSD_MMA):
Covers his training regime whilst studying full-time, his time in the marines, and of course the upcoming fight with Stevie Ray.
Well worth checking out!YourMMA.tv: How do you think he will fight, and what will be your game plan? How do you combat his judo black belt?
Dale: From the footage I have seen, Stevie comes across as an aggressive fighter. He has the awkwardness of any southpaw but also has some good Muay Thai to back it up. I would be stupid to give away a game plan at this stage but I am capable and skilful enough to get the job done from any position I find myself in. As for his Judo black belt, it doesnt worry me. If he chooses to throw me on my back, he has to then fend off my grappling assault. If he chooses to stand then he will do so at his own risk.

What's the story?
Is the Department of Veterans Affairs making mistakes on war-related disability claims at a higher rate than previously acknowledged? The Center for Investigative Reporting reviewed a year's worth of VA inspector general's audits and found an error rate of 38 percent in a sample of 1,200 high-profile claims. The VA, which acknowledges it makes mistakes on 14 percent of disability claims, says the targeted audits are not an accurate representation of the agency as a whole. But veterans' appeals clog the system, lengthening the delays for all veterans. Nationwide, the average wait time for an answer on a claim is 260 days, two months longer than a year ago.
Who is accountable?

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- An Ohio judge says a woman with one of the best prisoner records he's ever seen won't be released early because she hasn't shown real remorse for her husband's 1994 poisoning death.
Michelle Barrett of Columbus was sentenced to up to 25 years in prison on her guilty plea to voluntary manslaughter. She told police Kirk Barrett committed suicide by drinking orange juice with cyanide.
In court on Thursday, the now 43-year-old woman said she accepted responsibility. The Columbus Dispatch reports (http://bit.ly/yVf2AE ) she told a judge she brought the poison into the house to kill herself.
But the judge said he believed Barrett wanted to kill her husband. He noted that investigators said she wore a disguise to obtain cyanide.
Barrett's next parole hearing will be in three years.

A Taste of Mexico in the North CountryWednesday, August 30th, 2006
Weather: Sunny and Mild
It was Monday night in Fergus Falls, and I was hungry. I had asked Connie, our receptionist at the plant, for dining recommendations. Connie had discussed the virtues of the infamous habanero pepper with me, earlier in the day. So when it came time to make dinner plans, I knew she was the one to ask.
I must apologize here, because when I left my hotel to go and eat, I forgot that my camera was still in my flight bag, which was sitting on the luggage caddy in my room. This was unfortunate for a number of reasons:
1) The old Fergus Falls Theater is a stunning example of Art Deco Design circa 1930-something.
2) The rest of downtown is comprised of well-kept red brick buildings dating back to the turn of the century. Main street is simply fascinating.
3) The Ultimate Fajita Burrito at Don Pablo's was a thing of beauty.
This is not one of the Don Pablo's chain of restaurants. It is family-owned, and staffed by recent immigrants who have a limited command of the English language.
This failure to communicate resulted in a chicken fajita burrito being delivered to my table after I had ordered steak. But the thing looked so appetizing that I didn't even complain. I just dug-in and enjoyed my "chef's surprise".
Let's talk about salsa for a moment. I think a Mexican restaurant lives and dies by it's salsa. However, the house salsa at Don Pablo's is geared towards the predominantly Scandi-wegian palate, here in Fergus Falls.
It is made with fresh ingredients, and has a nice flavor, but is way too mild for my jaded tastebuds. When I asked my waiter for a hotter salsa, he played the "no habla" card. So, drawing from my old Tijuanese vocabulary, I asked him for "mas picante". This, he apparently comprende'd.
He came back in five minutes with a bowl of crushed red chili peppers, fresh, not dried. He must have run them through the food processor. Then he gestured between that bowl and the salsa, as if to say, "Mix your own, fussy gringo." But of course, he was smiling the whole time.
The burrito really was wonderful, with grilled chicken, peppers and onions, and lots of melted cheese. After some experimentation, the salsa was just right as well. I recommend the Don Pablo's in Fergus Falls to anyone who enjoys good Mexican food. It was a real surprise to find this place so far north.
On Tuesday, after my business was done, Frogwing and I set off across the high plains of North Dakota, on our way to Aberdeen. But that's a story for next time. Adios!

Archangel Amael's Blog
I'm a newibe with BT4 so I hope I can find enlightenment on a few things. My computer is a Toshiba Satellite, 4GB RAM, 500GB HD, Windows 7 64bit. I do have BT3 installed on a vdware virtual machine and I have no problems. In the pursuit of a persistent usb thumb drive---Part 2 of the instructions " Persistent Changes"---I was not allowed to set the default of " 4 " after entering the first 2 commands of the section. I was also not allowed to add " vga=x317 " to the " Start Peersistent Live CD " section also within Part 2.
Could not install Nessus, the next step, because it said it could not locate the file or program. Nessus was downloaded to my computer and the first usb thumb drive, but still could not see it. And lastly, very strange...BT4 did download semi-succesfully to the usb thumb drive....however...there are no konsole shells or mouse controlled pointer. I get as far as " airodump " and cannot go further because of no taskbar or konsole shells.
Archangel Amael's Blog
Hey thanks for noticing and the endorsement.
you said you downloaded nessus to the 1st partition of the usb thumb drive, did you properly umount that partition? if so, are you sure you are looking in the right place? when backtrack finishes loading and goes "live" it no longer runs of that partition, rather, it runs off of an imaginary area in your ram ( mount -l to see what i'm talking about) as such even an ls -a command will turn up no results for said file. try going to the actual device and checking that out, you can browse there via konqueor under media or mount and cd to it.
open source = open minds, human knowledge belongs to the world
I guess I just wanted to follow all of the directions and learn later. I became interested in BackTrack because of WEP &WAP concepts....had no idea it could do other things. I did, however, look a the video you suggested. Thanks. I have a little trouble with videos that aren't narrated on subjects I know very little about. But since I have no taskbar with options to choose from...I can't even try OpenVas yet.
Perhaps Autonessus might be a better tool, or Seccubus as it's now called - less noisy than Openvas and Nessus apparently.

Library to receive Harrell collection
University Libraries will celebrate the opening of The Flynn T. Harrell Collection on the Separation of Church and State at 10:30 a.m. Nov. 10 in the Hollings Library.
The event will feature a talk by J. Brent Walker, executive director of the Baptist Joint Committee (BJC) for religious liberty and noted expert on church-state issues, who will speak about the separation of church and state and the importance of the Harrell collection.
Housed in University Libraries' South Carolina Political Collections, The Harrell collection contains books, journals, an extensive clipping collection and 45 years of correspondence documenting the history and debate over this key principle defining America's government.
A strong advocate for the separation of church and state, Harrell has maintained that Americans must remain free to worship or not to worship according to the dictates of their individual consciences. "State-coerced religion would result in an America that few of us would recognize or desire. True and vibrant religious faith must remain voluntary," Harrell has said.
Harrell served for 21 years as the first business/financial officer of the South Carolina Baptist Convention and was elected president of the convention in 1987. He also was an executive assistant to Attorney General Travis Medlock for 11 years. Harrell is a former member of the Board of Visitors of the Wake Forest University Divinity School and the advisory council of the Center on Religion in the South at the Lutheran Theological Southern Seminary. He has authored several church/state articles and delivered speeches on the subject on more than 100 occasions to churches, schools, civic clubs and other groups. He has served as treasurer of the Board of Trustees of Americans United for Separation of Church and State.
The event is open to students, faculty and staff and other invited guests. It will be held in the program room of the Ernest F. Hollings Special Collections Library (enter through Thomas Cooper Library). Call 803-576-6016 to reserve a seat.

3-Inch Knife Removed From Man's Back After 3 Years
(NEWSER) – Billy McNeely had been bothered by back pains and a persistent itch for three years, but when he scratched it Monday night, he felt something hard and sharp. His girlfriend poked around and discovered why—it was a knife blade, inside his back. McNeely hightailed it to the emergency room, where doctors took out a three-inch blade, reports the Canadian Press.
The 32-year-old Northwest Territories man says he was stabbed five times in April 2010, after a birthday party arm-wrestling match turned ugly. "They stitched me up and bandaged me up," says McNeely. "They never took X-rays."

Another language broadens appreciation for one's culture and that of others. It prepares one for active citizenship in an increasingly multicultural and multilingual world.
In a highly competitive world, with an ever more intricate global economy, proficiency in at least one additional language represents an invaluable asset. It opens wide opportunities for careers in business, law, government, communication, medicine, and many other fields.
We recommend a major in a modern language or a double major including a modern language, to all students pursuing a bachelor's degree on this campus.
The modern language options at IU Southeast are:
- French
- German
- Spanish
