All political science majors at Millikin complete at least one internship, applying what they learn in the classroom while obtaining valuable, practical work experience. In addition, most of our students choose to enhance their skills by taking part in special opportunities for learning off campus.
The competitive simulation teams, Model Illinois Government (MIG) and Model UN, allow students to hone public speaking, analysis, and negotiation skills in a fun, rewarding way. The teams are coached by departmental faculty, and they travel to cities like Chicago, St. Louis, and Springfield to compete with collegiate teams from around the state and nation.
Opportunities in Washington, D.C. and the Study Abroad programs allow students to affordably travel to more exotic locations, taking advantage of learning opportunities while experiencing different cultures. The expanded timeframe of an entire semester elsewhere enriches the education obtained at Millikin.
Political science minors and other non-majors who are involved in the department are also encouraged to take part in these programs.

Investigators are giving us an up-close look tonight at a high speed pursuit that happened in Madison County Monday morning, and a minor crash that followed.
A sheriff's deputy was injured in that crash and investigators are now searching for three suspects accused of stealing a trailer to haul thousands of dollars in stolen property.
Just after 3 a.m. Monday morning: "Two deputies met a truck that was going to be a routine traffic stop because the trailer of the truck it was pulling didn't have any working tail lights," said Madison County Sheriff's Investigator Larry Shiver.
According to sheriff's deputies patrolling the northwest side of Madison County, the suspect behind the wheel of a dark maroon Chevrolet pick-up truck had plans of his own.
Dash-cam footage gives a closer look into the high speed pursuit down FM 1372, FM 39 and down Lone Star Road. A Deputy loses control of his patrol car and crashes into a tree; he suffers minor injuries. The suspect continues driving, but he then loses control at a curve on Lone Star Road.
"He hit a fence, but then kept on driving about a quarter mile more down the road and abandoned his trailer that was carrying more than $35,000 of stolen property," said Shiver. "We also found out the trailer was stolen too."
The property has since been recovered, and now the owner of the stolen property is personally offering a $10,000 cash reward to track down the thieves.
Some residents say the impact of the crash woke them up Monday morning.
"I was sleeping when it happened, but wife woke up after it made a loud thud noise," said resident Ronney Lyons.
In the meantime, residents living along Lone Star Road say they are left with an overwhelming sense of insecurity.
"That was one of the conversations that me and my wife had and thank God they didn't swerve the other way and come into the house," said Lyons.
Nicole Morten: "It hit a little too close to home?"
Lyons: "Too close. "
Authorities believe the incident is connected to a string of thefts in Madison, Grimes, Robertson and Waller Counties. If you have any information you are asked to call the Madison County Sheriff's Office at: (936) 348-2755. Tips that lead to the arrest will be rewarded with $10,000.

the hot stress injection
I do think, however, that conservatives allow general unease and fear about sex to carry a lot of rhetorical water for them. It seems to me that often enough, conservatives can just sort of invoke sexual ephemera and conjure emotional reactions, out of proportion with what they've actually proved logically. We're evolutionarily and culturally cued to react to invocations of sex, and I wouldn't want to change that. But I think conservatives, when agitating against this or that current sexual practice, use that general sense of heightened emotionality or stress to rhetorical advantage in a way that doesn't actually benefit the conversation.
I'm not quite accusing James Polous of doing this here. My assumption is just that James is hearkening to previous posts where he's already laid the groundwork of why bisexuality is bad. James certainly isn't one to not do the necessary intellectual homework. But I would have appreciated a link to get at his actual arguments, here. Invoking the painfully obvious does us little good. James has a pretty strong case for the origins of bisexual affect, although I can't accept it on the grounds that I don't believe in one person or another judging the internal sexual and emotional content of another. More to the point, though, that doesn't get us anywhere about why this is all to our detriment as a society.
Of note here is probably my philosophical stance that the best, most humane and liberating framework for understanding human sexuality is to think in terms of sexual behaviors and not sexual orientations.
Update: Just about everyone in comments, or near enough, is telling my I'm a moron for this post. I don't know, I think I'm on to something here. Look I'm not saying "don't go to naked parties, it's immoral." I'm saying "I won't go to a naked party, because I don't think the people involved are accomplishing what they think they're accomplishing; and anyway, I want to keep shared nudity for sex, because I value sex."

I largely agree with you, and where I differ isn't so much disagreement as maybe a different way of understanding what you're talking about. I wouldn't change a word in your first paragraph, but I think the second maybe misses something important.
I think you've hit on the fact that conservatives, broadly speaking, take seriously the intensity, uniqueness, "sacredness" if you will, of sexuality, and as with many things which are extraordinarily powerful, sexuality is dangerous. That doesn't make it bad though. The sun, when you think about it, is incredibly dangerous, even from 1 AU out.
What a lot of conservatives are missing is this last part: that dangerousness and goodness can go together. I'd argue that my suspicion here is born out in the way most American Christians deal with God: He's good, therefore He can't possibly be dangerous, right? And we get shitloads of absolute dreck in the way of religious trinketry, based upon the concept of a completely unthreatening God. And on the flipside, we know sex is dangerous, so therefore it must be bad, right? And we've gotten centuries of Cautionary Tales to the point that if you wandered in to any evangelical youth group, you'd likely come away with the idea that having sex before marriage is just about the worst thing you can possibly do. It isn't, but that's what's essentially taught.
So you've got "sexually liberated" people attempting to remove all of the dangerousness from sex, when it's that very danger that makes it special to begin with. And on the other hand you've got your stereotypical religious conservative who is so caught up with the real dangers that sexuality's fundamental goodness is left out.
Neither of these is healthy, but I think I can make an argument that the stereotypical conservative position is the least bad of the two. The conservative position may, as you say, "use that general sense of heightened emotionality... in a way that doesn't actually benefit the conversation," but it leaves intact the possibility for sex to be something special, because it preserves the magnitude of what's going on. The sexually liberated version, on the other hand, essentially eliminates the possibility of sexuality being special at all, as its very program is, as you've said, the "de-eroticization" of sexuality. Take away that and there isn't much left.

I think the average naked human, even a particularly attractive one, isn't something you'd like to look at in most social contexts.
I'm not sure I understand what you mean here. The nude has been an incredibly common and important part of art history since we were cavemen. Do you mean to say that the nude body can't be beautiful unless it's in a painting or a sculpture or other work of art? I find that hard to believe. Are you saying we only like to look at nude bodies in a non-social setting? There are museums full of naked people, not to mention strip clubs and stuff.
I think I just must not be quite getting what you mean.

I mean that looking at the average person naked while they're sitting on the couch or eating peanuts or playing Wii isn't something that I'd want to particularly see, and anyway, I want to keep shared nudity for the sexual act.

Not terrified of the physical act of sex. Afraid of the aspects of sex that are most worth savoring-- intimacy, emotionality, danger.

I don't mean to be saying this is without exception, and of course this is sort of an intuitive idea more than a truth claim. It just seems to me that the attempt to make sex mundane is a mistake; I don't want sex to be mundane. Making sex mundane, robbing it of immediacy and power, is the last thing people who actually value sex would want to do. But it's a subtle thing, for sure.
- December 11, 2008 at 11:46 PM
- BP said...
Freddie that's an hazy intuition you have given no evidence for. Were I to say people who 'don't believe in one person or another judging the internal sexual and emotional content of another' are afraid of the danger of sexual and emotional content it would be as well supported.
- December 11, 2008 at 11:49 PM
- Freddie said...
It's not conjecture. It's a statement of effects. I'm not arguing that anyone feels a certain way or not. I'm arguing about the natural and inevitable effects of making sex into yet another emotionless and mundane activity.
- December 11, 2008 at 11:51 PM
- BP said...
Didn't see your reply before I posted mine.
But to respond to this -- why not both/and? Why not mundane sex with many, satisfying one urge, and intimate sex with one, satisfying another? Perhaps there are certain people for whom these behaviours don't cancel each other, or for whom swingsex is hardwired as gayness. After all, if we recognise homosexuality as genetically-determined, many smaller idiosyncrasies of sexual behaviour start to look less 'decided'. (This gets scary though because it can permit excusemaking for criminality if you aren't strict about the distinction between choosing to be and choosing to act.) Have you looked into the psychology of swinging, if there is one? Perhaps you're acquainted with a few practitioners.
Which is to say I think your first paragraph is o'er-hasty. Politics of love? Politics of loving, not judging, those who swing.
(Louis Theroux has a good documentary on this. It's sort of hands-on, till he chickens out of the random fucking part.)
Ps. I have sloppily equated 'naked parties' with swinging here because I've no idea what the former are.
Pps. Merry Chrimbo.
- December 11, 2008 at 11:59 PM
- Freddie said...
Swinging and naked parties are actually very different. Most of the people who try to sell you on naked parties talk explicitly about de-eroticizing shared nakedness. And, you know, if you're into that, enjoy-- I just would like to keep shared nakedness erotic.
As far as swinging goes, hey, by all means, go at it in any and all combinations you feel like. Personally, I find that robs sex of a little of its mystery, of its hidden depths. But that's just a statement of my perspective, not a judgment, really.
"Love the swinger, hate the swing", haha.

And happy horrordays to you.
- December 12, 2008 at 12:03 AM
Freddie, you sound like sour grapes that didn't get invited to the party. Yes, SoCons believe that if people are allowed to diddle willy nilly all of society will crumble. Heck, "every sperm is sacred" and all that.
Claiming that sexually progressive people are trying to kill the magic of sex makes as much sense as to say that people who like Mexican food are trying to belittle the subtlety of really good bangers and mash.
On the opposite side, are naturalists that try to demystify nudity to better expose the emotional foundation really wrong?
My favorite part is when you posit that some people should cover up. Quite apart from pissing off every liberal chick you'd ever hope to date, no one else is going to want to get in the buff with you either.
You end with a link to a piece that seems to understand the importance of choice. I don't see how you square the two seemingly contradictory positions.
- December 12, 2008 at 12:41 AM
- Freddie said...
You know, constantly telling me that I think something because I didn't get invited to the party, or whatever, isn't much of an argument. And the entire fucking point is that I do get invited.
If this level of reading comprehension is the best I can hope for, I don't know....
- December 12, 2008 at 12:42 AM
For those of you unaware of this rather ridiculous phenomenon, here's an article on naked parties. -K.
- December 12, 2008 at 12:55 AM
Well, then what is it? In the first paragraph you pass judgement on what you understand one particular peer group as embodying. Of course, based on personal experience, I take it that your speaking of close acquaintances. However, at the end you state "I can't accept it on the grounds that I don't believe in one person or another judging the internal sexual and emotional content of another." I find tension between the positions, correct me.

I don't think that what they are attempting will ultimately satisfy them in the way they imagine. Telling the man trying to open a can with a rock that he's engaged in a self-defeating enterprise isn't judging him for wanting to eat the fruit inside. It's attempting to help him understand that his efforts are bringing him no closer to the satisfaction he seeks.

- December 12, 2008 at 1:11 AM
Naw, it's an old Tradition. You know... the basis of morality. We did have one guy that had a moral objection to wearing clothes to class. I think that he eventually went off to counselling. It really just wasn't that big of a deal. If anyone would have proposed a party along the lines of the one recently posted they would have been laughed off campus. We had coed dorms and showers, what's a little nudity?

I suspect that you just might mean naturists...
- December 12, 2008 at 9:28 AM
So, are naturists unable to experience eroticism. Is their experience of sex less thrilling? If we follow this line of reasoning, shouldn't we expect that the people who have the best sex are those that only do it when there's a good chance they will procreate? Doesn't that best preserve the danger and mystery of the activity?
I don't buy this argument. I think different people find different things important in sex. The Libertine can find meaning in her search for exotic fare. The Naturist may seek to dispel the taboo of social nudity to better connect with others on a deeper level. And yes, clueless college students will from time time stumble about trying to find meaning and sexual charge that has thus far eluded them.
There's nothing wrong with Freddie being attracted to traditional sex. He does err in creating straw men that he attributes to others without considering the different ends they may be seeking.
- December 12, 2008 at 10:23 AM
- ryan said...
On the other hand, they may be on to something too: how does your emphasis on self-determination square with what seems to be an argument based on an essential characteristic of sexuality? I certainly have the framework to account for such a characteristic, but do you?
- December 12, 2008 at 12:28 PM
- Alixtii said...
I'd agree with wanting, on a personal level, to keep intimacy, nakedness, and sex connected. I'm not convinced that on a societal level that impulse isn't actively damaging, though.
Is there any rational, non-aesthetic, non-socially conservative argument for keeping intimacy wielded to sex? Otherwise, it reeks of superstition to me.
- December 12, 2008 at 2:50 PM
I think you're onto something.
This is where gay marriage advocates and their opposites are not understanding one another.
For example: I was very moved by the November 15 demonstrations. At the same time, I was incredibly turned off by those demonstrators who carried suggestive signs that both mocked the intimacy of sex (homosexual or otherwise) and made crude suggestions to the people they are trying to convince to support them.
I guess my point is: the struggle for gay marriage would be so much easier without the kind of overly hedonistic sexual character that gay culture has somewhat unwittingly enmeshed itself in - as the colonial writer Albert Memmi would explain it, there's a time in the revolutionary process to be juvenile and insulting. But the maturation of the movement is essential.
It's why I think Dan Savage is so ineffectual as an advocate. I cringed when he made some sarcastic comments about black men and homosexuality. If he could simply present the case earnestly, it would work.

All due respect, unless you can point to a study or recorded statistics or even interviews across a reasonably large and diverse group of people, all this boils down to, as you say, what you "think," i.e. believe is the case (based on your own observations, probably).
Unless you have some data to back you up, all this boils down to wordy versions of "I think." You've presented a hypothesis, but no supporting proof and no conclusion. Absent that, this comes across as (forgive me) nothing more than wordy blather.

In my single days, the idea of a naked party would have been exciting to me, so long as I got to have sex with all the attractive women and didn't have to be hassled by people who I did not find attractive.
Now, imagine a party filled with people like that, and it doesn't sound so appealing anymore (okay, its just a regular party of single people, except without clothes).
- December 12, 2008 at 7:54 PM
- Freddie said...
I'm not making an empirical argument; what data could you come up with? You're going to chart "sexual intimacy"? Sexual danger? No. This isn't science. This is philosophy.

"Afraid of the aspects of sex that are most worth savoring-- intimacy, emotionality, danger."

- December 12, 2008 at 9:06 PM
"That's not liberating sex from anything, it's robbing sex of its power."
This doesn't support your argument. On the contrary, let's agree that sex is powerful, and we're all afraid of it. As defense mechanisms go, the above is less socially (and probably psychologically -- but frankly that's not my problem) destructive than repression followed by the projection outward of pain and fear onto other people, followed by anger at them.
Let me be as clear as possible: There is no question in my mind that if Starr had gotten blown once in a while the whole country could have been saved a lot of trouble. Too bad for him and us both. But I feel sorrier for us.
- December 12, 2008 at 9:55 PM
...What bothers me is that you make these statements, and yet overlook the fact that violence has been similarly desensitized to being a "fun activity." One could theorize that the people who fear violence the most are the ones who cling to their weapons, the ones who love gruesome horror movies and video games. You can get all Freudian about sexuality, but psychoanalysing our taboos on sex should not be done without looking at how we also love violence.

You've got a bad disconnect between stating what you want sex to be for yourself, and implying that people who do things like have naked parties are doing something that devalues sex for them, not just for you.
You're implying that the way you see sex is the only important and valid way. What you're saying is not new. People have been implying that non-standard types of sex "devalue" sex or ages. It's nothing but Miss Grundy-ism in a fancy suit of clothing.
The question you fail to address is *why*, if something devalues sex for you, it necessarily has to do so for other people?
If someone is insisting you have to go to bacchanals to get liberated, you can tell them to kiss off. But stop insisting that they're not getting liberated at them. It's petty. What makes sex special for you doesn't have to work that way for everyone. Insisting that it does is just as egocentric as people who insist that it has to for you.

I think it's plausible to say conservatives (some conservatives in some contexts, that is) betray a fear of sex.
I think it's plausible to repeat all of that and replace "conservatives" with "liberals."
Sex is taboo-riddled. This is not news. It's not good news and it's not bad news -- it's a feature of life.
I don't see the cash value of arguing about which side of the red/blue right/left (what have you) divide is "really" or "more" spooked by sex insofar as it just sounds like cheap points-scoring against one side or the other. This post sounds like points-scoring against liberals -- liberals are really the ones scared of sex! ha! -- but there's certainly plenty of this sort of thing going the other way.
I think the more interesting and telling approach to this is captured in the typology of yourmorals.org.

Hey, just as someone who's been to a few naked parties, I'd like to tell you you're partly right. The ones that I've been to were indeed almost completely un-erotic. But the thing is, that's actually part of the point. It's about being comfortable in your own skin and having the courage to bare yourself to a room full of people. Nakedness isn't, and shouldn't necessarily be, always about sex.

Nothing says you understand something like placing it on a pedestal and worshipping it haughtily from afar. Sure put me and my own pathetic attempts to make sex safer in our place.

Cougars Claim Hawks in Volleyball

- (716) 649-7900 ext. 333
Pittsburgh, PA - The Chatham University Cougars took advantage of their home court setting to put the Hilbert Hawks women's volleyball team away in a 3 set match on October 16. After re-routing around Pittsburgh and arriving late for the match at Chatham, Hilbert was slow to react in set one, but came alive in the remaining two sets in an attempt to win at least one game on the road. The (15-25, 20-25, 21-25) loss drops the Hawks to 5-15 overall and improves Chatham to 4-22.
Sophomore Brittany Baum (Jamestown, NY/Jamestown) had the hot hand driving in 8 kills on the day. Sophomore Devan Jonathan (Basom, NY/Akron) and senior Amanda Dudek (Tonawanda, NY/Tonawanda) were the tandem keeping rallies alive as they each had double digit digs (Jonathan – 11, Dudek – 10). Shannon Memminger (Amherst, NY/Sweet Home) passed for 18 of the team's 20 assist for the match.
Hilbert (1-4) regroups to face Pitt-Bradford (6-0) on Tuesday, October 19th for their third meeting of the season. This match is their official AMCC game which will count in league standings. The first two matches were in conjunction with tri-matches.
The Hawks have three additional AMCC matches to close out the 2010 season. On October 23 and October 30 they will host Mount Aloysius College (1-4) and then Penn State Altoona (5-1). Sandwiched in between is an away match at cross-town rival D'Youville College (0-6).
Saturday, October 30th is senior day where the team will be honoring Amanda Dudek and Carole Jones for their years of participation to the program.
Hilbert College, located in suburban Hamburg, N.Y., south of Buffalo, is a private four-year college founded in 1957 in the Catholic Franciscan tradition. With nearly 1,100 students, Hilbert is a dynamic Western New York college that offers career-focused majors, including one of the top criminal justice programs in the region, and more than 50 minors and concentrations. The college's engaging, student-centered campus community offers numerous leadership, internship, and service learning opportunities from which students launch successful careers while making positive changes in their communities.

Interesting.GSP Was Battling Low-Grade Fever Prior To UFC 158
By Dana Becker | March 19, 2013
Source: The MMA Hour
UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre was battling the effects of a fever, according to his trainer Firas Zahabi. GSP defeated Nick Diaz via decision over the weekend at UFC 158: St-Pierre Vs. Diaz.
Zahabi, during a recent appearance on The MMA Hour, disclosed that St-Pierre was "a bit warm," but the thought to pull out of the fight was never mentioned.
"Everybody is a little injured, everybody is a bit busted up," Zahabi said. "He wasn't sick enough to pull the plug on the fight, but he did have the start of the fever. He was warm and he was feeling a little uneasy. He was feeling a little sick."
GSP mentioned taking some extra time off following the victory, saying he has been going full-force since knee surgery. Johny Hendricks is expected to be his next foe whenever he returns to action.

Did you know your pre-teen needs vaccinations, too?
(NewsUSA) - As children enter their pre-teen years, their world becomes an exciting place of new experiences and newfound freedoms. But adults know that adolescence also brings new risks and potential dangers, and parents can't be there every minute.
There is something parents can do to protect their pre-teens, now and for years to come: make sure their children are vaccinated against potentially life-threatening diseases such as meningitis, whooping cough and, for girls, cervical cancer.
Vaccines are not just for infants. Many parents don't realize that doctors recommend several immunizations for 11- and 12-year-olds."The protection provided by some childhood vaccines wears off over time, and as they get older, young people are at risk of exposure to different diseases at school or camp or in other new situations," says Dr. Anne Schuchat, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases. "What's more, research shows that pre-teens generally do not get preventive health care, visiting the doctor only when they are sick. We at CDC urge parents to schedule a routine check-up for their 11- or 12-year-olds to discuss their child's health and development and to talk with the doctor about recommended vaccinations."
What vaccines do pre-teens need? Three safe and effective vaccines are recommended for 11- or 12-year-olds. All pre-teens should receive Tdap, which combines protection against tetanus, plus highly contagious diphtheria and whooping cough (also known as pertussis), into one shot; and MCV4 to protect against meningitis and its complications. Pre-teen girls should also receive the HPV (human papillomavirus) vaccine -- the first-ever vaccine to prevent a disease that kills almost 4,000 American women every year: cervical cancer.
"The vaccine works best when it is given before the onset of sexual activity," says Dr. Schuchat. "And at age 11 and 12, girls have the best and strongest immune response to this vaccine." The American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Academy of Family Physicians and the CDC support these recommendations for pre-teens.
Parents should also make sure their children are up-to-date on other immunizations such as influenza, chickenpox (varicella), hepatitis B and measles-mumps-rubella (MMR). Depending on their health and medical history, some pre-teens may require additional shots.
To learn more about these vaccines and the diseases they prevent, visit the CDC's pre-teen vaccine Web site at www.cdc.gov/vaccines/pre-teen or call (800) CDC-INFO.

Apple is perhaps the most talked about company in the world, online. Now, thanks to Apple's litigation strategy, Samsung is the second most talked about. Here is a small thread of evidence.
The concept map below was produced from news' reports about Apple early on the 19th December 2012.
The map is made up of all articles on the first page of Google News, for the search term "Apple" as of about 4.00 am EST. It shows Apple, in blue, at the center of all other terms.That just denotes the fact that this is an Apple centric map.
You can see from the map however that coverage of Apple is dominated by the term Samsung. That cannot be good.
The map is a bit like an Apple Wordl except the terms are not just words – they are concepts. That is to say, each word is an aggregation of terms (see below).
Apple can especially be seen in relation to all other concepts colored in blue. These are the ones most closely connected with Apple – e.g. Samsung and patents.
The day before, Samsung had dropped its lawsuits to prevent sales of the iPhone and iPad in some European countries.
The day before that the judge in Apple's San Jose action had refused to ban the sales of certain Samsung products in the USA.
But that was by no means all the news about Apple. Apple's share price was on a rebound, Apple could be seen rearranging its global supply chain, probably with a view to doing much more of its own manufacturing, and Apple seemed to be deepening its relationship with Facebook.
In other words Apple's other news was overshadowed by its relationship with Samsung.
The map is not a Worldl. It comes from the folks at Leximancer and the product is called "Text is beautiful". The words are in fact concept. Leximancer's uniqueness lies in converting words into concepts and themes.
A few more words of explanation:
The blue theme is the theme Apple. The concept Apple aggregates all words that appear to be like Apple – so for example it should aggregate references to "world's wealthiest technology company", though I doubt it is quite that sophisticated.
The value of "Text is Beautiful" is it gives readers a way to get a quick overview of a range of articles. I mentioned Leximancer in an earlier piece – it can do similar summaries of very large text collections – it could for example sit between search and a reader, providing similar summaries of a search return.
As information becomes too voluminous I am convinced we need these tools in our daily lives. They are as important as the written word.

Rogers Street Fishing Village
Editor's Review
People have been fishing commercially in Two Rivers since 1837, making it Wisconsin's oldest, continually operating commercial fishing community. And it got its start in the business thanks to the French-Canadians. To celebrate both its commercial fishing and French-Canadian heritage, the city created the Rogers Street Fishing Village.
The colorful, attractive fishing village ($4) has several components. The main building, which sits along the East Twin River, houses a tiny gift shop. Out the back door are the main displays. First, there's a restored 1936 fishing tug you can walk through; it contains information on how the tugs worked. Three adjacent buildings, connected by a boardwalk, have displays on all the facets of commercial fishing here in the 19th and 20th centuries: setting gill nets, harvesting ice from the river, combating invasive species that threatened the industry, etc. Just beyond the buildings, the top of the old Two Rivers lighthouse is on display; you can climb up to it for a bird's-eye view of the river and town.
One of the newest additions to the museum complex is the spacious combination Coast Guard-Shipwreck Museum. The museum contains several collections of artifacts from area shipwrecks, displays on how the French-Canadians set up house in Two Rivers in the 19th century and a small Coast Guard section. Scattered throughout are related paintings created by artists with local ties.
The fishing village packs a lot of interesting information into an attractive facility you can get through in about an hour. It's worth the price of admission.

Rated 3.5 out of 5�by 2 reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5�by Striker Big and Heavy Just returned from Mexico with my clubs in the OGIO Mammoth. My clubs survived nicely. TSA agents stole my towel and the wire brush which was attached to golf bag, and packed inside the travel bag. It weighs a lot all by itself, so be prepared for charges when you use it on a plane. MY bag and clubs was about 60 lbs and it earned a sticker that said "Heavy". The airlines or TSA tore a seam at the bottom grab point on the OGIO. I suspect they were annoyed at its weight and really treated it roughly. With clubs inside it stands erect and the spinner wheels work great. Without the clubs it bends in half, like it is bowing from the waist. I had trouble storing it in my hotel room. November 11, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by Demonte19 Big Good bag, however bag wants to fold in half when standing with no clubs inside. December 29, 2013

No. 8 USC AIKEN 13, NORTH GEORGIA 2
DAHLONEGA, Ga. — Friday was an unusual day for the eighth-ranked USC Aiken baseball team. The Pacers claimed their eighth consecutive win with a 13-2 victory on the road over Peach Belt Conference foe North Georgia. But what was scheduled to be a doubleheader at Bob Stein Stadium was limited to just one game.
That's because an older North Georgia fan was discovered to have died in between games. Out of respect to the fan, who was reported to have a close relationship with the members of the Saints' coaching staff, the second game was postponed. Weather permitting, it will be made up as part of a doubleheader today.
"Some elderly gentleman, a big fan of North Georgia was sitting in a chair between our bullpen and dugout," USCA head coach Kenny Thomas explained. "After the game, Ty Barkell walked by and said 'that man down there looks like he's dead.' … Our trainer ran out and hollered at their trainer, who laid him down and started CPR and called an ambulance.
"I've never experienced anything like that before," said Thomas, who has been in baseball most of his life and has coached more than 1,500 games. "I felt awful."
The tragic occurrence might have tempered the Pacers' momentum. They scored more than 10 runs for the eighth consecutive game, improving their record to 23-5 on the season and 10-3 against PBC opponents. But the combination of the death and the strong possibility that bad weather could alter or stop today's games from being played.
"We accept that," Thomas said of delaying game two of the series, while taking a straightforward approach with his players about the situation. "It's a sad thing. It's emotional. Some of theses guys have never seen anything like that before."
Thomas said he expects his players to bounce back today. If the Pacers can maintain their torrid pace at the plate, there's no reason to expect them to struggle. USCA opened its win over North Georgia (9-16, 3-7 PBC) by plating four runs in the top of the first inning. It never let up and scored six runs in the top half of the sixth inning. The Pacers out hit the Saints 16-11 in the game.
"We played real well and swung the bat real good," Thomas said. "We got momentum going early. It was really good to score four runs early."
Six Pacers finished with multiple hits. Branden Millhouse, Bill Gerstenslager and Ryan Metzler each had three hits in the game.
Millhouse was 3-for-4 with two runs scored and an RBI. Gerstenslager went 3-for-5 with three runs scored and one RBI, coming on a home run. The designated hitter is on a 15-game hitting streak.
That's just ahead of Metzler, who was 3-for-5 with two RBIs and one run scored and has now hit safely in 13 consecutive games.
They both trail Barkell, who has hit safely in 19 games in a row. Barkell, Ben Donath and Josh Miller each had two hits. Miller had three RBIs and a run scored, while Donath scored two runs and drove in two more.
"Offense, from top to bottom, played well," Thomas said.
USCA starting pitcher Ryan Milewski (3-2) struck out four in his five innings on the hill to pick up the win. He overcame a rocky start and looked impressive before being removed because of leg cramps.
"Milewski gave up two runs in the first inning, but shut the door after that," Thomas said. "He was cramping in his calf, it's nothing serious, but it was 50 degrees and I took him out."
North Georgia starter Taylor Keinat (1-4) allowed 12 runs in four innings.
"It was a good win for us," said Thomas, who send Derek Beasley to the mound for the first game today, slated to start at 1 p.m. Wyatt Brown will start the third game.
While everybody involved was dealing with a mix of emotions, Thomas was able to find a silver lining.
"It's a situation that's a part of life and a sad thing," he said. "But supposedly, he never missed a game, loved baseball and was sitting in a chair watching the team he loved. What better way could you go?"

Science Matters
Climate Change and Aquatic Invasive Species
U.S. EPA researchers are helping states incorporate the effects of climate change into plans to manage aquatic invasive species in their waters, coasts, and wetlands by looking at the combined effects of climate change and these organisms.
A number of sport anglers plying the Illinois River have put down their fishing rods in favor of bows and arrows. They've found better luck snaring their quarry out of the air than with the traditional baited-hook method.
What the anglers are aiming for is silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix). Native to Asia, these heavy-set fish can grow to four feet in length and weigh well over 70 pounds.
But it's not all fun and games.
The carps' habit of leaping out of the water when they sense a boat engine approaching occasionally brings these big fish directly into the pathway of the oncoming vessel. Collisions with airborne carp have resulted in broken jaws, concussions, loose teeth, and other painful and potentially serious injuries.
Silver and bighead carp join a long list of species—including the zebra mussel (Drernia crassipes), Chinese mitten crab (Eriocheir sinensis), water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes), Northern snakehead (Channa argus), nutria (Myocastor coypus), and others—that scientists and environmental managers are working to better understand so they can take action to prevent, control, or eradicate them in order to protect native species, and both environmental and economic interests.
Those efforts may become more challenging as climate change adds a new dynamic to the equation. Researchers at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) are helping states and other partners meet those challenges.
EPA scientists recently released Climate Change and Aquatic Invasive Species and Implications for Management and Research, a comprehensive report on the interaction of climate change and aquatic invasive species. The report provides ecological managers with new insight into how to effectively deal with aquatic invasive species.
"The report evaluates the combined effects of climate change and aquatic invasive species on aquatic ecosystem structure and function, and suggests potential paths forward that will increase understanding and improve management," explains Dr. Michael Slimak, an EPA ecologist who helps lead invasive species research at the Agency.
A state-of-the-science assessment of the potential for climate change to affect aquatic invasive species provides managers and researchers with an important reference for incorporating climate change into their action strategies. The report also presents an analysis of existing management plans that identifies the capacity of each state to modify or adapt activities to account for climate-change effects.
The report is one of the first comprehensive efforts to present information incorporating what is known about the interactions of two complex environmental challenges: climate change and invasive species. While it provides a valuable reference, it also identifies the need for continued scientific research in order to provide the information and tools needed to effectively identify, prevent, contain, and when necessary, eradicate aquatic invasive species.
EPA researchers will continue to lead the effort to provide the science needed to bridge that gap.
Editor's Note: A version of this article appears in the EPA Research Highlights column in EM Magazine, a publication of the Air and Waste Management Association.

being too emotional," said Tate. "I think that was the biggest problem last time was she got inside my head and she made me really, really angry. I just dont think I feed well off of negative energy. Id rather just be positive about it and just be happy. I love the sport, I love fighting and that to me is definitely the key to victory. Other than that I think I possess all the skills to beat her, I think I just need to calm down a little bit and not go grabbing a hold of her and letting her just launch me into an armbar again. It was just really stupid.
I also need to stop the judo. I mean thats another part of it. If she goes out there and throws me and she cant armbar me, thats a big part of the fight too. Thats what Im going to do from now until December 28, its going to be an anti-judo camp.
Its never too early to train and practice that gameplan over and over and over," said Tate. "Im going to beat it into my skull if I have to. Swear to God, shes not going to armbar me if its the last thing I do.
I will seriously shoot myself in the face before I leave that cage if she armbars me again. It cant happen."

Weekdays at 6am on 98.7 FM Arizona Sports
Doug & Wolf
Not bubbling with intensity
We saw very little desperation from our teams or people on the bubble over the last few days. That must change this weekend.
UP NEXT: Selection Sunday
COMMENTARY: The way the Devils have played recently, they don't deserve to go to the NCAA Tournament. Luckily, because of the way they've played over the last five months, they do deserve to go. If desperation doesn't become an immediate part of their game plan, their seed won't matter because they'll be home for the weekend no matter what.
REQUEST: Please dunk the ball, Bachynski
UP NEXT: Home against Calgary on Saturday
COMMENTARY: I don't know what happened to this team. Listen, winning in Boston is hard. The Bruins are great. What's impossible to explain is the first period of Thursday night's game. The Coyotes forgot who they were. More talented teams never used to be the problem because Phoenix would set the terms of engagement early in the game. Remember the first round upset of Chicago? That was Coyotes hockey.
REQUEST: Please shoot the puck, Ribeiro
UP NEXT: 3 games/4 nights
COMMENTARY: One simple question: do you want to go to the playoffs or not? I can completely accept the Suns not making the playoffs. I can even understand them choking under the pressure because they're young. They need to learn what stretch-run tension really is. I can't handle the lack of desire, passion and desperation.
REQUEST: Hold these three opponents to less than 23 points in the first quarter.
All three teams mentioned above are bubble teams, and their lack of intensity is doing more to burst the bubble than their opposition.

It smells wonderful
It smells great and its light and soaks into your skin.
By Katherine on September 10, 2013
Smells nice, but wont ever use it again!
I love the smell of this and wanted to like it, but it really irritates my skin. If it comes in contact anywhere near my eyes forget it, they turn into a veritable endless waterfall. I've never had this kind of reaction to any moisturizer I've used before so it must be that it's overly essential oil scented. I've also found in the short amount of time that I used it that my usually dry, clear skin has broken out quite significantly.
By Kimberly on July 3, 2013
Only Moisturizer I Can Use on My Face!
I have been using the Intelligent Nutrients Moisturizer on my face for over a year now and I absolutely love it. This is the only moisturizer that I can use on my face that does not break out my skin. It is lightweight and just sinks right in. I love that it has good for you ingredients and is USDA certified organic too!

The Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA), enacted in 1980 and revised upon its reauthorization in 1986 and 1995, created the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) within the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to oversee information policy within the executive branch. The Act requires, among other things, that agencies secure OMB approval before collecting information from the public. Since 1995, this has meant that...
Paperwork Reduction Act
Project Stages:1. Gather ideas - Completed
2. Select ideas - Completed
3. Council approval - Completed
4. Picking a researcher - Completed
5. Committee consideration - Completed
6. Back to the council - Completed
7. Consideration by the full conference - Completed
8. Implementation - Current
This study examined whether the text of the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA), 44 U.S.C. §§ 3501–21, or agencies' practices under it could be improved. Among other things, the project considered the costs and benefits of PRA compliance, more efficient ways to achieve the statute's goals, the potential need to update the statute to account for advances in social media and other new technologies, and the application of the PRA to collections of information that are voluntary or directed to special government employees.
The research report for this project was subsequently published as Stuart Shapiro, The Paperwork Reduction Act: Benefits, costs and directions for reform, 30 Gov't Info. Q. 204 (2013).
Final Recommendation
- Recommendation number: 2012-4
- Adopted on: June 15, 2012
- Committees: Administration and Management
The Paperwork Reduction Act ("PRA") governs the ability of federal agencies to compel private parties to disclose information. 44 U.S.C. §§ 3501–21. The law aims to minimize the burden imposed on individuals, businesses, and other entities resulting from data collection by the federal government. Whenever a federal agency seeks to obtain information from a group larger than 10 individuals, it must comply with the PRA. Among other things, the PRA requires agencies seeking such information to make a determination that the contemplated collection of information is necessary for proper performance of agency functions. In addition, agencies must submit their proposed data collection instrument to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs ("OIRA") for approval. The approval process normally includes two required public comment periods totaling at least 90 days and normally takes 6-9 months to complete, although, in June 2011, OIRA implemented a "fast track" review process for certain information collections for which agencies obtain generic approval.
At its 56th Plenary Session on June 14-15, 2012, the Administrative Conference adopted Recommendation 2012-4, Paperwork Reduction Act. This recommendation addresses a variety of issues that have arisen since the Act was last revised in 1995. For instance, despite OMB guidance on the application of the PRA to social media, the Act does not yet account for new technologies. The proposal offers suggestions for improving public engagement in the review of information collection requests and for making the process more efficient for the agencies and OMB.

A stroller can make life much easier for a new parent, but with the wide selection of Strollers available today, it's easy to be overwhelmed. A little background knowledge can save you lots of time and energy in choosing a stroller that perfectly complements your lifestyle.
Most Strollers fall into one of five categories: lightweight, single, double, travel systems, and jogging. Lightweight Strollers, also known as umbrella Strollers, typically weigh less than 14 pounds and are the most compact, portable type of stroller. Lightweight Strollers usually feature a simple fold and streamlined frame, though many new designs incorporate convenience options that are customary on standard Strollers, such as reclining seats, parent cupholders, and underseat storage bags. Because lightweight Strollers take up so little space, many parents keep one stashed in their trunk to be prepared for quick outings. Most lightweight Strollers are designed for infants who can sit upright unassisted, usually around 6 months, but models that offer a reclining seat may be suitable for younger babies. Lightweight Strollers with a high weight limit are also perfect for older toddlers. When shopping for a lightweight stroller, be sure to look for an adjustable sunshade, five-point harness, and an easy-to-use parking brake. The Chicco C6 Stroller is a popular choice in the lightweight stroller category. The C6 offers a multi-position reclining seat and all-wheel suspension for an exceptionally comfortable ride. At a meager 11 pounds, the C6 is a breeze to transport in its custom carry bag, making it very travel-friendly.
Single or standard Strollers offer more features and comfort options than lightweight Strollers and are usually versatile enough to handle most any condition. Many single Strollers offer roomy reclining seats, extra seat padding, adjustable handles, parent and child cupholders, and snack trays, among other features. Single Strollers are larger and heavier than lightweight Strollers, but the added comfort makes them suitable for newborns and children who tend to take in-stroller naps. These days, many single Strollers are compatible with certain car seats to create travel systems, which are discussed later in this guide. For a versatile, quality single stroller that is nimble enough to handle urban environments, the Bugaboo Frog is a stylish choice that features a fabric bassinet to cradle newborns and a reclining seat for use with an older baby. In both the bassinet and seat, children can comfortably lie down or sit up, however uneven the terrain, thanks to the Bugaboo Frog's innovative horizontal and vertical suspension that allows the stroller to "jump" like a frog over obstacles instead of banging against them.
For parents of multiple small children, double Strollers are a lifesaver, and today's double Strollers are more practical and intelligently designed than ever before. Double Strollers typically come in side-by-side or tandem seating. Some tandem double Strollers also feature swivel seats, so one or both children can look at mom and dad or out at the world. This feature works well to protect a small infant from over-stimulation, while giving big brother or sister the independence of a front-facing seat. If you'll be using a double stroller with a newborn, look for a model that features at least one seat that is compatible with an infant car seat for travel system-like convenience. The Contours Options Tandem Stroller by Kolcraft is a bestselling double stroller that offers two completely reversible seats and is compatible with many top infant car seat brands. For two older or similarly aged children, a side-by-side double stroller may fit your needs. The lightweight Jeep Wrangler Twin Sport All-Weather Stroller is a great choice in this category and features reclining seats with an all-weather seat backing that can be rolled up for increased ventilation in the summer or rolled down to block the winter wind. Some double Strollers offer a platform for an older child to stand and ride, which combines the convenience of transporting two kids with the maneuverability of a more compact stroller. The Joovy Caboose Ultralight Stand-On Stroller is 20% lighter than the original Caboose model and features a padded seat for the standing child to take a rest, as well as a neoprene Cool Essentials Parent Organizer for your keys, cell phone, and other necessities.
When it comes to transporting a newborn, many parents opt for the convenience of travel systems, which include a standard single stroller and a compatible infant car seat with a stay-in-car base. The car seat doubles as a baby carrier and can be quickly removed from the car and attached to the stroller without ever having to disturb your sleeping baby. Once your infant outgrows her car seat, the stroller can continue to be used well through toddler and preschool years. The Chicco Cortina KeyFit 30 Travel System is popular for its ease of use, smart features, and great value. The KeyFit 30 infant car seat is rated for infants up to 30 pounds and is one of the easiest car seats to install, thanks to Chicco's one-pull LATCH adjustment and bubble level guides on the car seat base. The Cortina stroller is also user friendly, with a convenient one-hand fold, one-touch rear brakes, and memory recline seat.
For moms and dads who love being outdoors, jogging Strollers are a great choice to make walking and jogging comfortable for both baby and parent. Nowadays, jogging Strollers aren't just for the serious runners. These sturdy, all-terrain Strollers have become all the rage with parents who appreciate the sleek look and clever features that modern jogging Strollers have to offer. Most jogging Strollers feature large, durable tires with resilient suspension that can easily navigate gravel paths or bumpy sidewalks without jarring baby. When shopping for a jogging stroller, always check the manufacturer's recommended age, as some Strollers do not allow sufficient seat recline to accommodate children less than 6 months old. However, many newer jogging Strollers do offer full recline as well as a compact fold, making them a great choice as your everyday stroller. One such model is the phil & teds Sport Stroller Buggy - Single, a unique four-in-one stroller that can grow with your family. The stroller is suitable for both newborns and toddlers, and-when baby number two comes around-simply attach the Doubles Kit accessory for a compact tandem double jogging stroller.
And speaking of add-ons, there is no shortage of fantastic stroller accessories that make life on the go easier. Most name brand Strollers offer their own accessories tailored specifically for their models, such as the Maclaren Universal Footmuff, perfect for cold climates, and the Joovy Dry & Snug Rain Cover that helps keep the elements at bay. The newest trend for high-end Strollers is to offer a chic matching diaper bag that can attach to the stroller, such as the phil & teds Sport Buggy Handbag & Belt or the BOB Stroller Diaper Bag. There are a multitude of other "after market" accessories that will fit various brands of Strollers, including the Click 'n Go Insulated Stroller Cup Holder by Prince Lionheart or the KiddyBoard Maxi Stroller Platform Board, which transforms virtually any stroller into a stand-on double stroller. Before purchasing stroller accessories, always check out the extra goodies that come with your stroller to avoid unnecessary purchases.
A great stroller is a definite must-have for every new parent, and a little research goes a long way in choosing the stroller that best suits your needs. For more information or help in determining which stroller is best suited for you and your baby, call our customer service at 1-888-TOT-BUYS or consult the comparison guide below.
*Age, weight, and height limits differ among models. Always check the manufacturer's guidelines for specific restrictions.
