Comments On Jun 23, 2015:The sprocket is holding up well, and seems more durable than the full aluminum sprockets. I am a little concerned about the screws that secure the steel ring to the sprocket, a couple have come loose. I re-tightened them with permanent loctite, but I think Renthal should find a more permanent way to assemble these sprockets.

Comments On Mar 13, 2015:I finally stepped up and spent the extra money on the TwinRing. It's so worth the extra money. I won't ever use anything else. Excellent product!

Comments On Jan 27, 2015:Looks great and has virtually no wear after a summer of riding. I'll definitely buy another, if it ever wears out.

Comments On Sep 19, 2014:I've run these for a little while now, and while the teeth on these wear super-slowly, the tiny allen set-crews have a tendency to vibrate out to one side or the other after only ~10 hours or so. My fix was to take each set-screw out one at a time and apply a high-strength retaining compound to each one before re-installing it. That held them in place for maybe twice as long, but given how long this thing takes to wear down, you will need to adjust those little screws over the life of the ring. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I like these sprockets enough to keep buying them...

Comments On Apr 04, 2014:Simply the best sprocket I have ever purchased. Thought it was a gimick but it was not. Ride pretty much every weekend and still holding up after (2) years. I would not buy antthing else based upon my experiance

Comments On Jun 17, 2012:I've had a few of the Renthal alloy sprockets and whilst they look great and are light as a feather, they wear out super fast, (compared to other similar alloy sprockets). I thought I'd try the twin ring as the steel outer ring should make it last a very long time. As with all Renthal sprockets, it looks great and the quality appears to be very high. I've done one desert race with this sprocket, (6 hours of riding on my KTM 505 SX) and the teeth are already showing signs of wear. That's with a new front and new high quality X-Ring chain. The OEM KTM alloy sprockets last better than this. I'll try the Supersprox version next time.

Retina MacBook Pro torn down, shows little upgradeability
The Retina display-packing MacBook Pro that was announced at WWDC has been meticulously disassembled, as you might expect, everything is glued or soldered in place, including RAM, battery packs, and the display. While that might not make for a laptop that's particularly well-suited for repair or upgrades, it does make for a svelte package. The iFixit guys have a few thoughts on their experience taking the new MacBook Pro apart:
- Just like in the iPhone 4/4S (and the MacBook Air), proprietary Pentalobe screws prevent folks from accessing the machine's internals. That means you need a special screwdriver just to remove the bottom cover.
- As in the MacBook Air, the RAM is soldered to the logic board. Max out at 16GB now, or forever hold your peace—you can't upgrade.
- The proprietary SSD isn't upgradeable either (yet), as it is similar but not identical to the one in the Air. It is a separate daughtercard, and we're hopeful we can offer an upgrade in the near future.
- The lithium-polymer battery is glued rather than screwed into the case, which increases the chances that it'll break during disassembly. The battery also covers the trackpad cable, which tremendously increases the chance that a user will shear the cable in the battery removal process.
- The display assembly is completely fused, and there's no glass protecting it. If anything ever fails inside the display, you will need to replace the entire (extremely expensive) assembly.
It's clear that Apple's laptop design is following closely in line with their tablet strategy: make it small at all costs, even if it means using proprietary parts and keeping tinkerers out. While that might not be great news for folks like Ally, it's hard to argue with the results. The new MacBook Pro looks like a beast of a machine, and odds are if you're a fan of Apple hardware, you don't mind being locked out of certain things. Of course, the pricetag is another story altogether...

Retina MacBook Pro torn down, shows little upgradeability
This sucks. I always upgrade my mac after purchase.
It feels like they went the route of the eMachine, circa 1998.
Re: "Of course, the pricetag is another story altogether..."
It certainly is. But it will eventually come down in price. The original 13" MacBook air sprang forth as a $2000+ "executive laptop." And now, 4.5 years later, it starts at the same price as an iMac. $1199.
No, the MacBook Pro (with Retina screen) probably won't ever drop to $1199. But yes, it's very likely that it will get cheaper over time.
Looks like a flop, Mac has bent over backwards with this one to lock in instant obsolescence. It may only be compelling for a mater of months. It's only a mater of time when large SSD hard dives and monitors with the same pixel density as Retina display hit the market at a much lower price point.
honestly after much thought i there are more negatives then positives for me. I already use windows so it's not a big deal. But the price is high, i've got nothing thunderbolt, hard to upgrade drive or memory, low amounts of storage at a high price, sadly it's not just an upgraded 13inch at the same price. That's what i expected but this is just a massive price hike and i didn't see a 13 inch model. I'll look to the more affordable products, possibly the vizio, and i may try and run osx in virtualbox.

Back to top.
One man and one woman from four different age groups were selected as the best of the best of the 2008 Success Stories. And on March 14, 2009, at a gala ceremony in Los Angeles, California, Kristy McLean and Dallas Carter were each awarded the Grand Prize of $250,000! Read Kristy's story below. Find out what inspired her to transform her body and her life—maybe it'll inspire you to be the Team Beachbody Game winner in 2009!*
THEN: At 235 pounds, I had sciatica and low energy. While in satisfactory physical health, my emotional health was a nightmare. I felt hopeless, huge, and embarrassed. Somewhere inside me was a strong, confident person with amazing potential, but anytime she tried to surface, my self-conscious persona would squash her with negative self-talk and insecurity. Getting dressed was miserable, and I started every day feeling defeated. I began ignoring myself, avoiding the mirror or trying to look cute. From someone who started her life as a confident, self-assured girl, this was a sign that something needed to change.
NOW: I'm confident, inspired, determined, and in control of my physical and emotional well-being. As I make my own fitness [my] #1 priority, everything else in my life is falling into place. My entire family and community look to me as a role model, offering hope that they too can achieve their goals. I found my passion and a new career in fitness. Having conquered my biggest challenge in life (my weight and negative self-perception), I can accomplish ANYTHING—failure is not an option. I receive comments, emails, and Facebook posts daily from those who I have inspired with my story (please log on and read them for yourself!). This is my accountability, and [it] drives me toward continued results.
Two factors solidify my transformation: consistency and accountability. The consistency came with commitment to [doing] daily Turbo Jam workouts in my garage or at the gym. Missing a workout was not an option.
Accountability was the missing link in my previous attempts to maintain weight loss. Becoming a Team Beachbody Coach in June 2008 and winning the July 2008 MDB [Team Beachbody] Game was the one-two punch that added accountability to my plan and changed everything, starting a chain reaction from that point forward.
Having accomplished all of this in just 6 months, I can only imagine what is in store for 2009. My goals include building my Coaching and Turbo Kick businesses, investing contest winnings in entrepreneurial fitness ventures and fundraisers, [becoming] Top Coach 2009, [getting] more professional fitness certifications, and continuing to inspire others to be active participants in their own lives. As I coach and inspire more people, my accountability grows and I become even more inspired myself. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that my personal transformation would result in the realization that one person truly can make a difference in this world.
There is no turning back . . . I have found my "WHY!"

Consult your physician before beginning any exercise program.
Since all great things come in threes (or is it celebrity deaths?), we're going to complete our sugar trilogy with a look at the worst food in the world: soda pop. Forget about brands; whether it's Coke, Dr. Pepper, or even Hansen's Natural, it's all junk. There are different degrees of "junkiness," but this is Nutrition 911, so we're sticking with the bird's-eye perspective. The taste might make you happy, but from a nutritional point of view, soda's only place in the world is to make people fat, sick, and unhappy.
In America, we drink a lot of cola (or "un-cola"). A lot. On average, we each drank 52.4 gallons in 2005, and this figure includes infants, healthy folks, prisoners, etc., meaning that the average soda drinker actually gulps (their word) more than this. Carbonated soft drinks are the biggest single caloric source in the American diet. Teenagers in particular are hooked on the stuff and get an average of 13 percent of their daily calories from "pop." If this doesn't scare you, it should. In terms of sheer amount, these statistics could be alarming if it were any one food. A proper diet should have some balance and diversity. And soda pop is the antithesis of "any food." It's bad food.
We use the term "empty calories" for foods like soda that have no place in a nutritious diet. This term is ridiculously misleading. The calories in soda are far from empty. Most of them come from sugar. In the U.S., it's nearly always high fructose corn syrup, the cheapest, most processed sugar on the market. Other ingredients include caffeine, various phosphates and acids, and artificial colorings. We'll get to their effects on the human body in a minute, but first, let's stick to the simple stuff. Per day, the average teenager consumes between 10 and 15 teaspoons of refined sugar via soda—which, according to government standards, is about their daily requirement for all foods. This means that for the average teenager, his or her soda consumption virtually eliminates his or her chances of eating a balanced diet. There's nothing empty about that.
The soda companies are a marketing juggernaut. They spend roughly $700 million a year on media advertising alone—not to mention hundreds of millions more sponsoring events, athletes, musicians, and such. This volume of cash makes it difficult for consumers to avoid them, by design. To avoid the temptation to drink Coke, you've got to be highly principled or living in the middle of the jungle. And even then, well, I once happened upon a soda vending machine halfway up Mount Yarigatake in the Japanese Alps, and a friend traveling in Guatemala found Coke in a rural area that didn't have running water. Let's just say that soda companies are going to continue making it easy for you to find the stuff.
This type of marketing machine won't go away quietly. With the stats listed above, you could certainly put two and two together and link soda companies to the childhood (and adult) obesity epidemic that is arguably the world's most serious health crisis. Yet, while researching this article, I came across a widely published "study" stating that "soft drink consumption has no effect on childhood obesity." Suspicious from the get-go (the word "no" being a huge red flag), it didn't take me long to find this statement: "The research paper was supported by an unrestricted gift from the American Beverage Association." Bingo. Remember those Phillip Morris tobacco "studies" that promised a long and healthy life from chain smoking?
Besides the simple caloric trade-off, sodas are formulated to give you a rush. The sugar is mixed with phosphates designed to speed it into your system. It's so good, in fact, that many cyclists prefer Coca-Cola to specific sports food when they need a sugar rush near the end of races. And while a sugar rush is a good thing when you're trying to exceed your anaerobic threshold and you're out of blood glycogen (never mind if you don't know what this is), it's a bad thing whenever you're not, which even for a competitive cyclist is 99.9 percent of the time.
Beyond the simple sugar rush, these acids and phosphates alter your body's pH levels and inhibit the absorption of other nutrients. Then there are the effects of certain artificial coloring agents. For example, yellow #5, commonly used in soft drinks, has been linked to attention deficit disorder, hives, asthma, and other allergic reactions in some children.
Then there is the nutrient trade-off to consider. A person who drinks one Big Gulp per day must go to great lengths to maintain a balanced diet. Otherwise, they will almost certainly be deficient in numerous vitamins, minerals, dietary fiber, and essential fatty or amino acids—none of which is found in soda. For this reason, soda is often linked to type 2 diabetes, osteoporosis, dental erosion, and a higher risk of kidney stones and heart disease. And that's just a start. There's plenty of less scientific data linking soda to poor scholastic habits, which we'll get to in a later class.
In an attempt to become thought of as healthier, soda companies have diversified into non-carbonated beverages and diet sodas. While these are an improvement in some ways, they are hardly a solution to the problem.
First off, most juices and other caloric non-soda alternatives are mainly just sugar and water without the carbonation. A quick label comparison between a commercial orange juice and a Mountain Dew would show a similar "bottom line" with regards to calories and sugar. The only improvement would be the lack of the non-caloric offenders.
But that's no small matter, as the true effects of these ingredients have not been thoroughly studied. Despite their no-calorie status, diet sodas have been linked to assorted illnesses. Recent studies have backed up my more anecdotal evidence that I've yet to have a client not lose weight by kicking diet soda. Granted, all of my clients drank an excessive amount, but regardless, there is little doubt that the pH balance of diet sodas hinders the body's ability to absorb nutrients, and that just may be the tip of the non-caloric iceberg.
A large-scale study in 2007 showed that men and women who had more than one diet soda a day were 31 percent more likely to be obese and 25 percent more likely to have both high triglycerides and blood sugar, and they had a 50 percent greater risk of developing metabolic syndrome. Never mind if you don't know what metabolic syndrome is. Just trust me when I tell you that you don't want it.
In my world, soft drinks would come with the same type of regulatory language as cigarettes and booze, at least. Actually, in my world, we'd all be educated and wouldn't require this language at all, but that's Politics 911, not Nutrition 911. Anyway, here are five ways you can help educate the public about the dangers of soda, according to the Center for Science in the Public Interest. Contact your local government officials and/or the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and suggest that:
Are you scared yet? You should be. Or you could just stop drinking soda. Sounds so simple, doesn't it? That's all the time we have this week. Next week, we'll take a look at water. We know we're supposed to drink that, right?

Warning labels and signs are everywhere. Some are unique to each of us. For instance, for years, whenever I visited a greasy spoon, I knew that the quality of the food was inversely proportionate to the number of teeth the head cook had. The fewer teeth, the tastier the food. Moreover, warning labels populate our grocery stores' aisles. Although they're necessary due to the litigious times we live in, some of these labels are more questionable than others. See if you can guess the products that bear these puzzling warning labels.

"In Steve Edwards column regarding sodas, much of the physiologic information is solid. However, while it does not have much to do with the article, there is no such thing as blood glycogen. Sugar in the blood is in the form of glucose. Glucose is stored in the body as glycogen in either muscle or the liver. When the body needs sugar for energy, glycogen is broken back to into glucose for reentry into the blood stream. I just wanted to clear this up."

"Great Article I am curious however what would be a good drink to prove some pep during the day if not Diet Soda I get up at 5am every day for P90X have a 6 month old to care for before and after work and work in an office environment where I absolutely need to bring my A Game every day. Without some type of caffeine I would be heads down on my desk much of the day"

"Dont ask your local government to TAX soda. That is the dumbest thing I have ever heard proposed. Once the system becomes dependent on that tax, and people quit drinking soda, the money will be gone and new deficits occur. This has already happened in some states that have imposed an extra tax on cigarettes where people have reduced their consumption. Additionally, no federal or state or local government is going to use tax money to promote health. The havent in the past and wont start today."
– Olathe, KS
"Thats funny when you say dont propose a tax on soda. it may cause a reduction in the sale of soda as what happened to the sale of cigarettes. I think thats the whole point. we may not make more from the taxation in the long run, but the savings from the health benefits and payments for what kinds of cancer cigarettes may cause and the obesity or other bad health problems that soda brings to us. I think the tax is worth it."
"FINALLY someone taking a stand on soda. I work in a grocery store and I am amazed at how much people buy of that stuff especially when it goes on sale. They will load a whole grocery cart up with the garbage and even worse they give it to their children. I can not believe how stupid people continue to be regarding diet and health. Thank you for presenting the accurate facts about this ALL AMERICAN beverage."

The Department of Social Services was called to help investigate after a 10-month old boy from Player Road was taken to the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston with a non-accidental spiral fracture to the femur, a report states.
The DSS worker said the parents first took the child to Georgetown Memorial Hospital.
Doctors told DSS the injury was not accidental because it had to be caused by a twisting motion.
The babys father said the victim was in a room with other children ages 4, 8 and 10 years old when he heard his baby crying.
He said he put the baby in a playpen but he would not stop crying so they took him to the hospital.
The child was released to the custody of another relative after being discharged from the hospital.
The matter is still being investigated.
Screwdriver threat
Georgetown police responded to the 400 block of Palm Street because a 56-year-old man was reportedly threatening to kill a 34-year-old woman.
The man allegedly said he would kill the woman with a screwdriver when she went to sleep.
The woman told police the man, who is the father of her children, pushed her and hit her on the head after they got into an argument.
She said he was holding a screwdriver and threatened to stab her.
Witnesses at the home backed up the womans version of events.
The man was arrested for simple assault.
Pit bull kills cat
A woman from the 300 block of Driftwood Ave. in Kensington said her inside dogs started barking June 29 and when she looked outside she saw a pit bull killing her daughters cat.
The woman said she tried to rescue the cat but the dog would not let it go. The cat, the report states, was 11 years old.
The dogs owner said he had the dog with him as he was riding his bike. Although the dog had a leash attached to its collar, the man was not holding the leash.
He said the dog went in the womans yard then he heard a screaming noise and saw the attack taking place.
He said the dog is only aggressive towards cats and not humans.
The man was issued a citation for having a dog at large.
Attacked at friends
A 27-year-old Plantersville man is accused of attacking a 41-year-old man who was at the home of a friend on Muster Road June 18.
The victim said earlier in the day, while at his own home, the suspect threatened him by saying he would beat his (butt).
He said he ignored the threat at the time.
He said later in the day, while at his friends house, the suspect came up behind him and hit him on the side with a closed fist and tried to punch him on the face.
The man said he was able to get away and walked home to call 911.
The case was presented to a magistrate for warrant consideration.
Firework burglary
Someone broke into a fireworks stand in the 3400 block of Highmarket Street June 23.
The owners wife said the locks were cut off the back door of the building but nothing appeared to be missing.
The woman told a deputy they feel someone from a competing fireworks stand may be responsible because they are always complaining when they are open.
They were advised to call the Sheriffs Office if they discover anything missing.
Forged paperwork
A Conway woman says her uncle, a Pleasant Hill area man, forged her deceased mothers name to probate court paperwork and filed the documents in the court system.
The woman said her mother passed away in 2005 and the estate was left to her. She said there was still an acre of land off of Cohen Drive in question after her grandfather died in 2012. She said the forged paperwork stipulates that acre goes to her uncle.
The woman said she has the original paperwork showing she is the rightful owner of the acre.
The case is still under investigation.

Any force you direct into your pedals also travels up into your torso, particularly your lower back. The muscles running along the lower section of your spine go into overdrive to support you when you pedal hard, especially during long, seated climbs.
They've Quit When: You slow down and start veering side to side, as the muscle platform you're pushing against collapses.
Tune 'Em Up: Assume a push-up position with your hands on a low step directly beneath your shoulders, feet on the floor. Extend your right arm overhead and lift your left foot a few inches off the floor, pointing your toes. Hold for a few seconds, then return to start. Repeat with the opposite arm and leg. That's one rep. Do 10.
Your trapezius and rhomboid muscles run along your upper back and into your neck. They hold your head up and shoulders back as you stretch across your top tube in the riding position.
They've Quit When: Your neck aches so much you can't get aero without saying, "Ow!"
Tune 'Em Up: Lie facedown on an exercise ball with your feet planted on the floor shoulder-width apart, and your belly and hips pressed into the ball. Keep your back flat and your chest off the ball so your body forms a straight line from your head to your heels. Drop your arms toward the floor, keeping elbows slightly bent and close to your torso. Squeeze your shoulder blades together and lift your arms out to the sides. Lower and repeat 10 to 12 times.

Alright, a quick update! Friday night I went to a wedding! I was up all day running around to get ready! We needed three hair cuts and pantyhose! LOL So, after running around all day my BP was high! It was 160/90. So, on Saturday I laid around and didn't do much of anything! I forgot that I ordered Italian Subs from the Fire Co. and my neighbor dropped them off. That is what we ate for luncg and after eating it I got a terrible pain under my right rib. Well, I called the doctor and he said to go to L&D and he would check my out. All of my labs came back normal, but I was dehydrated and because of the dehydration the baby's heart rate was up! Like 200! So, after I drank two bottles of water the doctor came in and said that he thought it was my gall bladder and he was sending m home! Before he sent me home, he checked my cervix. This was the first time! I joked and said that I was probley tight as a drum and believe it or not, I am 3cm dilated and 50% effaced! So, I go home and on Monday I wake up to my mucus plug falling out! This has never happened to me before. I had a 2:15 appointment and when I was there everything looked good! The midwife checked me and she said that she would go along with my doctor, 3cm and 50% effaced! After that appointment I went up to the hospital for my NST. She had my hooked up for an hour and the baby's heart rate was everywhere. 121-173!! She called up to L&D and a resident looked at it and he said to keep me hooked up for another hour! So, after another hour she did a BPP and the baby scored 7-8 (I think?). So, she called my OB and they decided to send me to L&D for an induction. When I got up there they did another NST & BPP. The NST looked good and the baby got another 7-8 on the BPP! He said that they baby wasn't practice breathing when they wanted it to, so that is why it got a 7. So, We decided to send me home! He checked me again ad this time I was 4cm dilated and 80-90% effaced! He told me to go home and he would see me in his office on Thursday. Well, yesterday I thought for sure I was going into labor and of course it was false! But my Blood Pressure is up again! 160's (two 170's)/ high 90's! Should I call? I don't have any headache's my swelling is really about gone and I feel good! What do you guys think? I will be 38 weeks on friday and because I have GD he wants me to get as close to 38 weeks that I can! I am scheduled for an induction on the 22nd!
Sorry it is so long!

Is it possible to convey, through the experience of just one man, the sweep and enormity of the horror that was American slavery?
Movie review
5 (out of five stars)
Director: Steve McQueen
Cast: Chiwetel Ejiofor, Michael K. Williams, Michael Fassbender, Benedict Cumberbatch, Brad Pitt, Paul Giamatti, Paul Dano, Sarah Paulson, Lupita Nyong'o
Rated: R for violence/cruelty, some nudity and brief sexuality
Running time: 1 hour, 13 minutes
That, quite simply, is the formidable task that British director Steve McQueen has set for himself with his new film, the blistering "12 Years a Slave."
And even if the movie weren't as good as it is, we'd need to thank him for trying; far too few filmmakers have had the courage or initiative to address head-on the darkest chapter of U.S. history.
As it happens, the film is stunningly good, thanks both to McQueen's unflinching, unsentimental approach and to impeccable casting, most crucially of the wonderfully expressive Chewitel Ejiofor as a man with a truly extraordinary, and extraordinarily true, story.
The film is based on the memoir of Solomon Northup, a black man who was born free in New York. In 1841, Northup, a skilled violinist, was lured to Washington, D.C., with the offer of work. Instead, his "employers" drugged him and sold him to a slave trader.
The very title of the film gives away a key fact, but it's hardly a spoiler. The crux of the movie is not whether, but HOW, Northup summoned the strength and the cunning to survive 12 years in the hell of a series of Louisiana plantations.
Crucial early scenes depict a comfortable, happy life in Saratoga, N.Y., where Northup lived with his wife and two children. That all changes in one hellish moment, when he awakes in shackles, his wallet and papers gone, and realizes he has no way of proving who he is. He loses even his name.
Soon, Northup's on his way to Louisiana. Shock — his, and ours — deepens as he stands for inspection, surrounded by other slaves for sale, many naked, poked and prodded like cattle by their seller (a frighteningly banal Paul Giamatti) who has no problem separating a mother from her small children. (Later, as the mother, a moving Adepero Oduye, weeps, her new mistress consoles her: "Your children will soon be forgotten.")
Northup's first owner, William Ford (Benedict Cumberbatch) is, in the scheme of things, a more sympathetic type, and he appreciates his new slave's intelligence. But he's powerless to protect Northup from a sadistic overseer (Paul Dano, reliably chilling), and a confrontation Northup has with the overseer leads to one of the film's most excruciating scenes, perhaps one of the most painful in any film about slavery. Hung from a tree, Northup is left to dangle for hours, teetering between life and death. His toes, which barely touch the ground, are his only hope.
All the while, plantation life continues in full view of this horror: children playing, other slaves working, the mistress looking on from the porch.
Northup survives, but only to be sent off to another owner, the monstrous Edwin Epps, who cites scripture as support for 150-lash whippings. Epps, mesmerizingly portrayed by Michael Fassbender, a McQueen regular, also has sexual desires for a lovely young slave, Patsey, who has to endure not only Master's advances but the poisonous, violent jealousy of his wife (Sarah Paulson, also excellent.)
A scene in which Patsey is subjected to Epps' most crazed fury is so harrowing, you may need to close your eyes — but don't. Newcomer Lupita Nyong'o is shattering in the role.
But the film truly belongs to Ejiofor, whose big, soulful eyes seem to register so many things at once: Shock, pain, grit, determination, abject despair at times, cautious hope at others and, always, dignity.
"I don't want to survive," he says at one point. "I want to LIVE." But before he can live, he must survive. It's an extraordinary tale. How McQueen and his team portray that tale is quite extraordinary, too.

Patriot forward Alihan Ozsoylu scored three goals Tuesday to lead Fort Dorchester to a 7-1 win over Carolina Forest in the opening round of the Class AAAA boys' soccer playoffs.
Fort Dorchester scored in the first five minutes and added a goal in the next five to set the tone. The Patriots entered the half ahead 4-0 and then cruised into the second round of the playoffs.
"We didn't have a player on the field to disappoint tonight," Fort Dorchester coach Chris Jones said. "We put our stamp on this game."
Jack Stasek, Zikeem Smith, Trevour Johnson and Clay Mahlie also scored for the Patriots as keepers Dos Santos and Christian Baker held the Panthers to a sole goal. The Fort improved to 13-5 on the season while Carolina Forest was eliminated with a 9-9 record.
The Patriots faced Aiken Thursday in a second-round game played after press time. If the Fort won, it will host the winner of Thursday's Wando/Dutch Fork game in the third round Saturday.
The Fort scheduled a pair of games against strong opponents at the end of the regular season this year in an effort to get prepared for the playoffs. Jones says that move paid off.
"I was worried because we didn't get the game in with Academic Magnet but I think playing Bishop England definitely helped us refocus our goals and priorities," Jones said. "I'm proud of the way our team came out tonight focused and not over confident and I think BE being such a good test for us had something to do with that."

For the second year in a row, the Ridge Spring-Monetta High School football team won its season-opening game, beating Pelion 30-18 on Friday.
The Trojans overcame the physical play of a bigger Pelion squad and used a touchdown just before halftime to steal momentum and the lead. Senior quarterback Reggie Preston connected with Ralfael Leaphart on a touchdown pass that put RS-M ahead 14-12 at the break.
"It was not pretty, but anytime you win, you can take it," said Heath Corley, who's in his second year as RS-M's head coach. "It was a typical first game. Kids had cramps, play was sloppy and it was very physical. Pelion smashed us, but we made a few adjustments."
Preston completed 15 of 28 passes for 279 yards and two touchdowns. His other score was to slot receiver AJ Hopkins, who had a big game with four receptions for 129 yards.
Travious Wigfall had 14 carries for 154 yards and a touchdown, and Craig Burton punched in the other TD on the ground. Even Preston pitched in with more than 30 yards rushing. RS-M will have its home opener next Friday against Saluda.
Fox Creek High School football coach Russ Schneider was pleased with his team's performance in spite of a tough loss in the Predators' season opener.
"The kids played hard. We played a close game," Schneider said.
Schneider didn't have many opportunities to call plays in the first half, estimating Fox Creek only lined up for five snaps with possession of the ball. That was the result of a dominating Dreher squad that controlled possession, a turnover and a 99-yard kickoff return by multi-sport star Darshon Broadwater for the Predators' lone points.
Fox Creek will play next Friday at McCormick.
Williston-Elko couldn't pick up the road win against Class AA competitor Edisto on Friday, falling 28-19.
The Blue Devils spread the ball around for 204 yards on the ground on 27 carries, with Faheem Richburg scoring a pair of touchdowns and Antonio Coleman scoring once. Quarterback Dalton Mundy went 3-for-11 for 42 yards through the air.
Edisto quarterback Tyrell Maxwell was as good as advertised, passing for 108 yards and a touchdown and rushing for 95 yards and two more scores.
The Blue Devils will host another Class AA team – Chesterfield – next Friday, while Edisto will play Orangeburg-Wilkinson.

I hate to tell you, but its not going to matter. I've had Sprint service for two years in Nashville. We've been told LTE this, and LTE that...but guess what - neither 3g NOR LTE work in this town.
Most of the time, I get the dreaded 1x status.
I was at a Titans game the other day - scored some good seats, and wanted to text my wife at home to let see. I tried about 12 times to send it, all throughout the game, and it never went through. Meanwhile, the guy next to me who had the same iPhone, but on Verizon, was texting pics to someone throughout the game.
Data is non-existent on Sprint. It doesn't matter that its cheaper.
As soon as the 5s becomes available in stores around here, I'm switching to Verizon. I'm done.

- DOGS: reaction-driven de novo design of bioactive compounds (2012)
- We present a computational method for the reaction-based de novo design of drug-like molecules. The software DOGS (Design of Genuine Structures) features a ligand-based strategy for automated 'in silico' assembly of potentially novel bioactive compounds. The quality of the designed compounds is assessed by a graph kernel method measuring their similarity to known bioactive reference ligands in terms of structural and pharmacophoric features. We implemented a deterministic compound construction procedure that explicitly considers compound synthesizability, based on a compilation of 25'144 readily available synthetic building blocks and 58 established reaction principles. This enables the software to suggest a synthesis route for each designed compound. Two prospective case studies are presented together with details on the algorithm and its implementation. De novo designed ligand candidates for the human histamine H4 receptor and γ-secretase were synthesized as suggested by the software. The computational approach proved to be suitable for scaffold-hopping from known ligands to novel chemotypes, and for generating bioactive molecules with drug-like properties.
- SQUIRRELnovo : de novo design of a PPARalpha agonist by bioisosteric replacement (2009)
- Shape complementarity is a compulsory condition for molecular recognition [1]. In our 3D ligand-based virtual screening approach called SQUIRREL, we combine shape-based rigid body alignment [2] with fuzzy pharmacophore scoring [3]. Retrospective validation studies demonstrate the superiority of methods which combine both shape and pharmacophore information on the family of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs). We demonstrate the real-life applicability of SQUIRREL by a prospective virtual screening study, where a potent PPARalpha agonist with an EC50 of 44 nM and 100-fold selectivity against PPARgamma has been identified. SQUIRREL molecular superposition is based on a graph-matching routine [4] and allows partial matching. We used this advantage for searching for bioisosteric replacement suggestions in a database of molecular fragments derived from a collection of drug-like compounds [5]. The bioisosteric groups suggested by our tool SQURRELnovo, can be used for ligand-based de novo design by a human expert. Using the fibrate derivative GW590735 [6] as query, we designed a novel lead structure by substitution of the acidic head group and hydrophobic tail. The synthesis and following testing in a cell-based reporter gene assay [7,8] revealed that the designed structure activates PPARalpha with an EC50 of 510 nM.

South Carolina has too many unwanted animals. It's not a stretch to call the continued breeding of these animals an epidemic that brings many public health issues.
But, there are many groups working hard to improve the situation. Without them, this epidemic would be even worse.
But there's a move afoot by some veterinarians to limit those good deeds, putting the welfare of thousands of animals behind a few more bucks in their pockets.
Rep. David Hiott, a Republican from Pickens, has introduced legislation that would seriously curtail much of the work being done by animal groups like the SPCA Albrecht Center for Animal Welfare here in Aiken County.
Hiott's bill would allow animals already in the possession of a shelter or rescue to be spayed or neutered, vaccinated and microchipped at that organization's facility, but would restrict them from offering those same services to the public.
That means facilities like the SPCA couldn't offer those services to low-income residents who want to care for their dogs or cats, but have trouble affording it.
Why? Some veterinarians in the state say these centers are using public money for services that directly compete with their businesses. In other words, the shelters and rescues offering these services to poor people are taking money away from their businesses..
Never mind that facilities like the Albrecht Center provide those services through donations from the private sector.
Or that these services are offered to low-income people who otherwise couldn't afford the care for their pet.
Or, that allowing these animals to continue to breed will only make the problem worse: More unwanted animals, more disease and more puppies and kittens who will grow up and produce more of the same.
Fortunately, the S.C. Humane Society has met with the state's Association of Veterinarians and Hiott, and they are working on a compromise that would remove the limitations proposed.
That's good. But we'll rest a little easier once it's done.
We can't put the interests of a few veterinarians ahead of the welfare of the animal population across the state.

What is Organic?
Organic is a labeling term that indicates that the food or other agricultural product has been produced through approved methods. These methods integrate cultural, biological, and mechanical practices that foster cycling of resources, promote ecological balance, and conserve biodiversity. Synthetic fertilizers, sewage sludge, irradiation, and genetic engineering may not be used.
How Are Organic Products Overseen?
The National Organic Program regulates all organic crops, livestock, and agricultural products certified to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) organic standards. Organic certification agencies inspect and verify that organic farmers, ranchers, distributors, processors, and traders are complying with the USDA organic regulations. USDA conducts audits and ensures that the more than 90 organic certification agencies operating around the world are properly certifying organic products. In addition, USDA conducts investigations and conducts enforcement activities to ensure all products labeled as organic meet the USDA organic regulations. In order to sell, label, or represent their products as organic, operations must follow all of the specifications set out by the USDA organic regulations.
How Do I Know if My Food Is Organic?
Look at the label. If you see the USDA organic seal, the product is certified organic and has 95 percent or more organic content. For multi-ingredient products such as bread or soup, if the label claims that it is made with specified organic ingredients, you can be confident that those specific ingredients have been certified organic.
What About Other Labels?
There are other voluntary labels for livestock products, such as meat and eggs. Animal raising claims must be truthful and not misleading. USDAs
Food Safety Inspection Service
verifies the truthfulness of these claims:
. This label indicates that the flock was provided shelter in a building, room, or area with unlimited access to food, fresh water, and continuous access to the outdoors during their production cycle. The outdoor area may or may not be fenced and/or covered with netting-like material. This label is regulated by the USDA.
. This label indicates that the flock was able to freely roam a building, room, or enclosed area with unlimited access to food and fresh water during their production cycle.
. As required by USDA, meat, poultry, and egg products labeled as natural must be minimally processed and contain no artificial ingredients. However, the natural label does not include any standards regarding farm practices and only applies to processing of meat and egg products. There are no standards or regulations for the labeling of natural food products if they do not contain meat or eggs.
. Grass and forage shall be the feed source consumed for the lifetime of the ruminant animal, with the exception of milk consumed prior to weaning. The diet shall be derived solely from forage consisting of grass (annual and perennial), forbs (e.g., legumes, Brassica), browse, or cereal grain crops in the vegetative (pre-grain) state. Animals cannot be fed grain or grain byproducts and must have continuous access to pasture during the growing season. Hay, haylage, baleage, silage, crop residue without grain, and other roughage sources may also be included as acceptable feed sources. Routine mineral and vitamin supplementation may also be included in the feeding regimen. If incidental supplementation occurs due to inadvertent exposure to non-forage feedstuffs or to ensure the animals well being at all times during adverse environmental or physical conditions, the producer must fully document (e.g., receipts, ingredients, and tear tags) the supplementation that occurs including the amount, the frequency, and the supplements provided.
. Livestock productions with the label claim pasture raised must be from animals which had continuous, free access to the out-of-doors for a significant portion of their lives. Feedlot-raised livestock or any livestock that were confined and fed for any portion of their lives may not produce products labeled with the term.
. Multiple labeling programs make claims that animals were treated humanely during the production cycle, but the verification of these claims varies widely. These labeling programs are not regulated under a single USDA definition.
No added hormones
. A similar claim includes Raised without Hormones. Federal regulations have never permitted hormones or steroids in poultry, pork, or goat.
Protecting Organic Integrity
30,000 on-site inspections per year by certifying agents to monitor compliance with USDA organic standards
Certifying agent audits to ensure appropriate monitoring
Residue testing program to verify that prohibited pesticides arent being applied to organic crops
Robust compliance and enforcement activities
Issue-based investigations (e.g. country- or commodity-specific)

The Antlers Fire Department hosted a multi-agency training event at the Pushmataha County Fair Grounds on Monday, August 29. The training began at 7:00 p.m. at the Antlers Fire Department Training Center.
This training was scheduled to provide basic knowledge and instructions on how to successfully draft water from a static water source and move it to a different location.
While doing their training, firefighters utilized a Fire Engine at the Fire Training Center to load water into Tankers, which then transported the water to the fair grounds located on the south side of Antlers. Once at the location, the Tankers dumped their water into portable water tanks (which almost looked like collapsable pools). After dumping the water into the pools, another Fire Engine began pumping the water out of the pool to the fire fighters.
The purpose of this exercise was to allow the local Fire Departments to participate, and practice, a fairly new concept in water supply which is mainly used in rural areas where fire hydrants are not accessible.

Naomi Duguid's Coconut Sauce Noodles
Poached chicken plus broth and noodles is nothing new. Most of us eat chicken noodle soup on a more than regular basis throughout fall and winter. But Naomi Duguid's Coconut Sauce Noodles in Burma is far from ordinary. In its most basic form, egg noodles are boiled and then dressed with a thick soup of chicken, cracked coconut milk, and shallots. More

I was on bedrest
I had been diagnosed with severe preeclampsia
my blood pressure was sky high the minute I sat up or rolled off my left side
I was scared to death
I was counting how many times Emily kicked me
I was waiting...
the next day, a Monday to be exact, I went in for my 35 week checkup. The nurse midwife checked me and saw that my reflexes were overreactive, a red flag the preeclampsia was progressing. A desicion was made to induce the following Wednesday.
I got worse over the next 48 hours
I was scared for my baby, and was scared over what was happening to me.
Blood pressures shooting up to 150/110, severe migraines like I have never had in my life, involuntary jerking of my muscles, something was wrong.
Thank god I got induced that Wed
Thank god Emily was born safe...small...but safe
I was on bedrest for two more weeks
My bp did not go down until I went on meds two weeks post partum
it was months before the involuntary muscle movements went away
about a year and a half for the hyperreflexia to dissappear
my baby was so tiny, 37 weeks but so small...I felt horrible she was so little...but thankful she was out of me and safe in my arms
we both recovered
we both grew and gained strength
When I was 36 weeks with her little sister, I got preeclampsia again
but we were prepared this time and doctors moved fast
I had medication and good care, and Isabelle was born a little bigger and I bounced back within a couple weeks...what a difference
Today, six years later, I look at my beautiful kindergartener and am so proud of her
how far we have come
how tall and smart and beautiful she is
I forget how scary it was six years ago
Thank you God....
On April 1, my beautiful April Fools Baby was born...early...but safe....
Happy Birthday Emily :)
Six Years Ago Today

The F10 M5 concept was officially unveiled online today [official photos/video/info] to much excitement and anticipation. The F10 M5 represents the successor to the now fabled E60 M5, which began production in 2005 and ended last year. The F10 M5 concept's official press release photos reminded us much of the E60 M5 concept's debut photos. We've posted up some comparison photos below.
Not much technical info or specs have been released so far for the F10 M5, but what we do know is that the engine will … CONTINUED
Today marks the public release of the all new BMW Concept M5 ahead of its formal debut in Shanghai.
Now as you may have quickly noticed, the word 'concept' sits between BMW and M5, meaning this car is not yet the full production vehicle. In typical BMW M fashion, first a "concept" version of the car is rolled out to the public, in order to showcase what the car will look like, painted in stunning Chrome Shadow. After this car has been shown to the world, … CONTINUED
We recently posted the F10 M5 [URL="http://f10.5post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=501764"]teaser and trailer (with commentary)[/URL] from BMW, but here's the raw uncut footage, featuring nothing but the visuals and sounds from the F10 M5 undergoing winter testing. 30 minutes of pure unadulterated F10 M5 goodness. The F10 M5 concept's debut is nearly upon us so stay tuned for coverage!
Speculation around possible transmission options for the upcoming F10 M5 continues. Last week relieving news trickled in as EVO's Chris Harris and other outlets confirmed that BMW will not resort to their widely used 8-speed ZF automatic transmission but instead use a beefed up 7-speed M-DCT for the M5. This leaves one remaining 'mystery' regarding M5 transmission options — whether there will be a manual transmission available. German Focus appears to know more on the matter as they mention in a today's article about fast … CONTINUED
While we're all waiting for its official debut, BMW continues testing FEP prototypes of the F10 M5. Spotted in SoCal, here are more pictures of a beautiful M5 in Silverstone II, a nice silver color with a light blue hue already known from the E60 M5. The previous Silverstone II sighting was at the Schipol Airport in the Netherlands.
The M5 will feature a twin-turbo twin-scroll V8 with an output of at least 555hp (internal code S63) and — according to latest reports — mated to a … CONTINUED
More test drive reviews of F10 M5 prototype are trickling. Following Chris Harris' review last week, two German publications just published their first impressions on the F10 M5. Both Autobild and AMS confirm that a 7-speed DCT will be used, and both hint at an output of 560hp. According to AMS, BMW has also developed a new Limited Slip Differential. While the actual lock is still performed by visco clutches it now is able to work proactive and build-up lock even before one wheel loses … CONTINUED
We bring you more photos of the F10 M5 in beautiful monte carlo blue! Seen here is the expected production form of the F10 M5, with only front and rear details under any major camouflage. It is easy however to piece together what they look like from previous spy photos (posted below). The new M5 will be powered by a tweaked version of the S63 V8 twin turbo motor from the X5M/X6M, good for what we believe will be 585-600hp.
Also pictured are the best interior spy … CONTINUED
We've posted below the newest F10 M5 trailer and a separate extra length testing video, complete with commentary (and our English translation) from the test drivers. Enjoy the sights and sounds inside!
What makes for a great video? EVO's Chris Harris and a pre-production F10 M5 on snow surely isn't the worst thing to start with. Following two F10 M5 teaser videos on M-Power.com last week, this video shows Chris Harris going sideways in an F10 M5.
There's also some more information on EVO.co.uk. BMW apparently confirmed with Chris Harris that the new M5 will have at least 555hp (that's the output of the X5 M and X6 M) and that "there's a seven-speed DCT dual clutch … CONTINUED
The countdown to the F10 M5 has officially begun. Here's another teaser video from M-Power.com starring Dr. Kay Segler, CEO at BMW M GmbH, and some shots of a slightly disguised M5 during winter testing. We're looking forward to learning all the details about the M5 in the coming weeks.
But, if that's not good enough for you or you simply can't wait that long, M-Power.com might have something for you. Register at the M-Power.com Closed Room and let BMW M know which dreams you associate with … CONTINUED
As we reported earlier, a new Closed Room on M-Power.com has just opened. As with the former Closed Room for the 1-series M Coupe, there'll be tons of information and media made available over the next couple of weeks and months. Register for the new Closed Room at M-Power.com to have access to all upcoming information.
For now, here's a first teaser video of the F10 M5.
The F10 M5 is almost upon us, with a concept version headed for a debut at the Shanghai auto show in April. Being in its FEP phase, it's being tested in some different production colors. Before this particular model was spotted, the only other time a blue M5 has been spotted was at M's Garching headquarters where it was spotted with its production rear exposed for the only time.
What we see here is basically the production form of the M5, albeit with front and rear bumper … CONTINUED
Motortrend provides some reasoning behind why the upcoming F10 M5 may be M-division's first automatic-only model, featuring a ZF 8-speed automatic transmission only and no manual or dual clutch transmission option. (Thus far, the F10 M5 has only been spotted with automatic transmission)
Their reasoning for the lack of a DCT option is due to the monstrous torque that the F10 M5′s twin turbo DI 4.4L V8 motor from the X5M/X6M is expected to generate. The F10 M5 is expected to feature more power than even the … CONTINUED
Confirming the importance of the Chinese market to BMW, the F10 M5 Concept Car will debut at the Shanghai Autoshow in April, rather than at the Geneva show where it was originally intended to be debuted. Geneva will instead feature the debut of the BMW Connected Drive Roadster Concept.
The first details of the M5 production car will be launched in mid-summer and the
production F10 M5 will be shown at the IAA Frankfurt for it's World public Premiere. US Public Premiere will be at the … CONTINUED
Not many details have been confirmed yet on the upcoming F10 M5, but in a recent interview with the head of M division, Dr. Kay Segler has confirmed that ceramic brakes for the F10 M5 is in the works! When posed with the question whether future M cars will be available with a ceramic brakes option, he responded that it's being worked on, for the M5.
This would represent the first time that ceramic brakes are offered as an option on a production BMW. Ceramic brakes provide … CONTINUED
The 2012 F10 M5 continues cold weather testing and evaluation in Northern Sweden. As with our last F10 M5 photos, this one also wears a set of snow wheels/tires for testing purposes and are not the wheels we've come to know as the production wheels (which can be seen here and here). The mirrors you see are the production intent versions.
We were told that the speedometer topped out at 320km/h (199mph)
We have posted some older spy photos below (from the Nurburgring) which shows what the production … CONTINUED
The F10 M5 has been spotted undergoing another season's worth of winter testing in northern Sweden. It's spotted here with snow wheels/tires for testing purposes and are not the wheels we've come to know as the production wheels. The last time we saw the F10 M5 during winter testing it was nearly completely camouflaged, but it's been over 9 months of slow strip tease by BMW since then. The mirrors are also from the regular F10 5-series. The significance of these photos is simply that the … CONTINUED
The first non-black FEP (final evaluation phase) F10 M5 prototype was spotted in September and we now bring more photos of an FEP stage M5. Its camouflage remains similar to recent F10 M5 test mules and the front and rear bumpers remain covered, but we have posted some recent revealing photos for reference. The mirrors and wheels are production intent.
The F10 M5 concept will bow at the 2011 Geneva show in March 2011 and … CONTINUED

COLUMBIA — A state government watchdog group Thursday called on House Speaker Bobby Harrell of Charleston to step down as speaker while an inquiry into accusations he used his office and campaign account for personal gain is ongoing.
John Crangle, the executive director of S.C. Common Cause, said the group's board will decide whether to ask Harrell to resign his office permanently after more information is known from a South Carolina Law Enforcement Division inquiry.
Crangle said the board Thursday also delayed a decision on whether to ask state Attorney General Alan Wilson to recuse himself in a prospective Harrell investigation.
Harrell's spokesman Greg Foster called Common Cause part of an effort to smear the House speaker.
"It is irrelevant what a biased political group pushing a long standing agenda says about this issue," Foster said in a statement. "Speaker Harrell is in full compliance with the provisions of our state's ethics act and no credible group has suggested otherwise. Obviously, this is just another misguided attempt by a politically motivated group to smear Speaker Harrell's name while advancing their biased agenda in the media."
Wilson's office has said he will not recuse himself.
Wilson earlier this week returned a $3,500 donation from Harrell's campaign account and another $3,500 contribution from the Palmetto Leadership Council, a committee Harrell is affiliated with. Crangle has raised questions as to whether the $3,500 contribution from Harrell to Wilson for his 2011 inaugural gala was legal.
State law bars contributions from one candidate's campaign coffers to another candidate's account. And Ethics Commission attorney Cathy Hazelwood said this week a candidate shouldn't use his or her campaign funds for a donation to an event such as an inaugural gala because campaign expenditures "have to bear a fairly direct relationship to a candidate's re-election or to the office they're holding." Harrell's office has disputed that assessment.
This week, Wilson's 2010 campaign chairman said the $3,500 from Harrell for the inaugural gala was among 10 to 15 contributions for the event that were mistakenly not disclosed on Wilson's campaign disclosure forms.
The chairman, attorney Thad Westbrook, said the campaign will file an amended disclosure form that includes the previously missing contributions.
Wilson's move to return the contributions from Harrell and the Palmetto Leadership Council came after the Republican attorney general last week referred an ethics complaint against Harrell to SLED.
Wilson explained in a statement this week that he was returning the contributions from Harrell and the Harrell-tied group "in an abundance of caution to avoid even the slightest appearance or impression that this office could be compromised in any way."
Wilson will be in a position to pursue further investigation or prosecution of Harrell if SLED finds evidence to pursue.
Wilson asked the law enforcement agency last week to assign an agent to conduct an initial inquiry into criminal allegations against Harrell.
Among other things, the Republican House speaker has been accused of using his campaign account and office for personal gain by the leader of the S.C. Policy Council.
