Donnie Williams Jr. was sentenced by Superior Court Judge Trent Brown July 18 to 10 years to serve for the offense of burglary, with credit for time served since Oct. 26, 2009.
The state had offered Williams a negotiated sentence of five years to serve prior to last week's court date. The defendant was represented in the probation revocation hearing by public defender Len Myers.
The defense stipulated, for the purpose of the hearing, to the validity of drugs tested by the Georgia Bureau of Investigations and the chain of custody of that evidence.
Williams pled guilty in October of 2009 to burglary in Jones County. He was sentenced to five years probation and was allowed to enter his plea as a first offender. He violated that probation when he was charged with another Jones County burglary Oct. 25, 2010.
Williams was also charged with possession of cocaine with the intent to distribute and fleeing and eluding law enforcement officers, Aug. 17, 2011, in Bibb County.

How Alternative Medicine (probably) Killed Steve JobsOctober 9th, 2011
It's often argued that alternative medicine is safe because most of the remedies considered to be "alternative" are in and of themselves harmless.ĀĀ This is certainly true of things like homeopathy, which, if prepared properly, contains absolutely nothing other than the solvent the preparation was based on, which is usually water.ĀĀĀ However, it does kill by another means: it displaces real, useful and scientifically valid medicine and leads to people harboring the belief that something will cure them when it won't, directing them down the wrong road for treatment.ĀĀĀ It does not need to completely stop someone from getting real treatment to kill; just delaying real treatment can be enough.
Such would appear to be the case with Steve Jobs.ĀĀ I do not mean to make light of his death.ĀĀ While I do think his legacy has become extremely inflated, especially in light of his death, he was, by all accounts a nice guy and certainly a good manager.ĀĀ He was a great motivator, he had a pretty good sense of industrial design and he helped provide direction for Apple in the mid to late 1990′s when the company was faltering.
Without diminishing the grief his family and friends are surely feeling, we can still look at this death as an example of why alternative medicine is dangerous.ĀĀ Hopefully it can even save lives.
In 2003, Steve Jobs was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.ĀĀ Pancreatic cancer happens to be one of the most deadly forms of cancer, because it tends to be asymptomatic until it reaches very late stages of development.Ā By the time most pancreatic cancers are discovered, the prognosis is very very poor.ĀĀ Once the cancer has metastasize, it becomes very difficult to treat.ĀĀ Pancreatic cancer is often aggressive and will quickly invade the liver and other organs.Ā Once this happens, simply removing the tumor does little to stop the spread of the cancer and even the most aggressive treatment with chemotherapy and radiation only results in a long term survival rate of a few percent.
Steve Jobs, however, was lucky.ĀĀ His form of cancer was slower in progression and less aggressive than most forms of pancreatic cancer.Ā Even more importantly, it was caught relatively early on in the progression of the disease.Ā The cancer was discovered entirely by chance.ĀĀ Steve Jobs had a history of gastric problems and therefore had been receiving periodic abdominal scans. In October 2003, doctors noticed a growth that was confirmed to be pancreatic cancer.
It's impossible to know with absolute certainty whether the cancer had begun to spread when it was detected, but based on the early stage it was in and the type of cancer, it probably had not. With any form of cancer, delaying treatment can be deadly, but with a form of cancer like pancreatic cancer, it's all the more vital. As long as the cancer is confined to the pancreas, it can be operated on and the survival rates are very good. Yet the longer the cancer remains, the greater the odds that it has begun to spread to other organs. In 2003, the time bomb had probably not yet gone off, but it was definitely ticking.
Steve Jobs' doctors recommended an immediate Pancreaticoduodenectomy, also known as a "Whipple Procedure". The procedure would have removed a large portion of the pancreas, including the entire tumor along with some of the other structures around the pancreas, such as the duodenum and possibly part of the stomach. Overall, for a person in Steve Job's stage of the disease in 2003, the prognosis for completely overcoming cancer is excellent for the procedure.
The procedure is fairly drastic, and while most who undergo it successfully are able to lead relatively normal lives, it can include complications like digestive issues and an elevated risk for diabetes. Ā The fact of the matter is that the cancer was not going anywhere and was only going to get worse unless it was operated on. Ā Doctors urged Jobs to have the procedure immediately, but he was understandably apprehensive.ĀĀ Jobs instead perused a course of so-called "alternative" treatments. While these treatments may have been a lot less invasive than major surgery, there's absolutely no evidence that they actually work.
By some reports, Jobs was "skeptical of mainstream medicine." His preferred course of treatment was a special diet and various supplements prescribed by a naturopathic practitioner. There was concern by some of Jobs friends as well as board members at Apple, but Jobs stuck with the special diet and herbal remedies for more than nine months.
Unfortunately, scans showed that the tumor was growing at an alarming rate, with the herbal and dietary measures having no apparent effect on the progression of the disease. Finally at the end of July 2004, Jobs had the procedure to remove the cancerous tissue from his pancreas.
It's not entirely clear from published reports exactly how far the cancer may have progressed, but what is known is that the procedure that was preformed on Jobs did not simply remove the part of the pancreas. Instead, doctors had to remove much the pancreas, gal bladder, bile duct and parts of the stomach and intestines. It therefore appears that by the time the procedure was preformed the cancer had begun to spread at least to the organs closest to the original tumor. None the less, Jobs and his doctors were hopeful that they had gotten every trace of the cancer, although this is impossible to be certain of.
After recuperating from his operation, Jobs began to resume his role at Apple and appeared to be in reasonably good health. However, over the following months and years, he would show additional signs of troubled health. In 2006, Jobs provided the keynote speech at a major apple event. Many observers were surprised by his appearance, which was described as thin, listless and unhealthy. By 2008, his health had apparently deteriorated further, resulting in Jobs taking medical leave for several months.
It was later revealed that Jobs had received a liver transplant. The exact reason for the transplant has not been made public, but it is overwhelmingly likely that it is because the cancer had returned and spread to the liver.ĀĀ In most cases, the standard course of treatment for such liver tumors would be to surgically remove only the parts of the liver where the tumors are located. However, it seems that the cancer was too far progressed for anything less than complete liver transplantation.ĀĀ Such surgery can cure the type of cancer Jobs had, provided it has not spread beyond the liver, but cancer does often return, often within about two years. A liver transplant tends to be the last resort for such situations.Ā Not only is it very major surgery, but it also involves the use of powerful immunosuppressive drugs, which introduce their own risks and reduce the ability of the body to fight both infections and cancer.
In the end, it seems the cancer returned again. Jobs began to show signs of illness again this year, resulting in his taking medical leave in January and finally stepping down last month. His death, though sooner than most had expected, is not shocking given his deteriorating health.
We'll never be able to know for sure whether it was those nine months of inaction that killed him, but the time lost took him from having an excellent prognosis to having only a mediocre one. If you are lucky enough to catch cancer early, do not squander your opportunity to treat it early. Do what your doctor tells you gives you the best chance of survival, not what some naturepath or yogi tells you will work.

One of our combat readiness assessment tools:
In buddy team pairs:
3 mile run in boots, body armor, kevlar, kit, weapon, and whatever you'd take with you on a mission.
Once you and your teammate complete that, immediately (still with all your gear on):
Run to a 35 foot rope, climb up and down
160lb skedkoe drag for 100 meters
35 foot caving ladder, climb up and down
200 meter sprint
jump over 8 foot wall
If it takes you longer than 30 minutes to do this, you fail. I think my best time is around 25 minutes, but I've seen some of our studs do it in 22 minutes or less.
Then sometimes:
Leading immediately into the EIB weapons and commo lanes, or a stress shoot.
There are several other physical assessment tools that we use, but that's definitely the worst one. God I fucking hate that thing."No. Listen to me because I know what I'm talking about here." -- Hannibal

I'd have the same issue with the rope as a member up higher. The 3 miles and the 8 foot wall wouldn't be too bad for me. Never worn the gear mentioned as a civ, but I do backpack a couple of times a year with about 75-85 lbs (I think I pack too heavy) and running has always been my strong suit (I've always sucked at real sports, though).
Individually, none of the events are particularly bad. It's just the fact that you do them all with no break as fast as possible, and you have to do it at the same pace as someone else, who may be faster or slower than you. So you either have to keep up with someone who is faster, or drag someone who is slower."No. Listen to me because I know what I'm talking about here." -- Hannibal

"Gone With the Wind" was Thom's artistic rendition and representation of the great romance between Rhett and Scarlett. Thom artistically interpreted the Georgia countryside with lush green fields, beautiful flowers and of course cotton fields. He also captured the drama and nostalgia of "Gone With the Wind" with the narrative panoramic style showcasing several moments of the film in one compelling scene. Gel coating is rolled onto the image giving it the "textured" look.
In my painting, "Gone With The Wind", I wanted to capture this central romance but also give a small taste of the gentile old south. Fragrant flowers and lush rolling hills surround Tara, the homestead of the O'Hara family, and serve as quiet sentinels to this way of life. My painting is populated with favorite film characters and rendered in small cinematic vignettes designed to capture all of the drama and nostalgia of this Hollywood spectacular. I truly hope this painting delights all fans of GONE WITH THE WIND[. Beyond this, I pray it reminds us all that true love does exist."
Additional Information:
Framed in durable, break-resistant plexi-glass. This image measures: 16"H x 20"W; Overall Size: 22.5"H x 26.5"W x 1"D. You'll receive a certificate of authenticity to denote this is a genuine piece of Thomas Kinkade artwork. For indoor use only. Made in the USA.
About the Collection
Known as The Painter of Light™, Thomas Kinkade became recognized as America's most collected living artist.

As a devout Christian, Kinkade used his gift as a vehicle to communicate and spread inherent life-affirming values. Kinkade credited the Lord for both the ability and the inspiration to create his paintings.

Grand Rapids (40-24-3-4) responded 11 seconds later with a tap-in power-play marker by Tomas Jurco who was left alone in front of Wolves goaltender Matt Climie.
Chicago rattled off two consecutive markers to break the one all tie. First, Schroeder chased down a puck through the neutral zone and backhanded it to Sweatt, standing on Mrazek's crease, and he sent the puck five-hole to put the Wolves on top 2-1 at 12:04.
Center Jon Matsumoto set up the team's next goal, firing a puck into the scrum around Mrazek, where Davis hit it into the mesh at 13:33 and made it 3-1 Chicago.
The period would close with one final tally from the Griffins, this time by defenseman Adam Almquist with a slap shot high over Climie at 17:02.
Climie (22-22-3) stopped 28 of 30 saves, including 21 shots in the second and third periods. Mrazek (22-14-2) posted 25 saves in defeat.

I am reading a free E-book from Goodreads called "Anarchy: A Love Story." I expected it to be AWFUL. While the writing is a bit over done I actually like story. So if you're looking for something free, I'd recommend it!
And if you don't have Goodreads, get it! Not only does it help me keep track of the 800 books I read every year so I don't read them twice (which I've been known to do) it also lets me know what all of my friends are reading. It's by far my favorite app.
(Marsha, am I allowed to tell people to get free apps on here? It is free after all!)

Plant a buttercup relative
"Poor little Buttercup!" Little Buttercup sold her wares to sailors aboard the H.M.S. Pinafore: that's what Gilbert and Sullivan tell us. And she had a secret...
Now a "buttercup" is usually thought of as a yellow-flowered plant that blooms in the spring, and often has dissected, or cut-up, leaves. All the buttercups of the world (there are lots) belong to the genus Ranunculus, and the name of this genus is used as the base for the name of the plant family...thus, the buttercup family is the Ranunculaceae. Now, the buttercup family occurs nearly world-wide, and most of its members are herbs, with showy flowers. Buttercups are a part themselves, of course, and this family also includes quite a number of popular garden plants, such as wind-flowers, columbines, clematis, delphiniums, monks-hood, nigella (or "love-in-a-mist"), Lenten rose, and peonies. The flowers of these various groups include white, pink, red, blue, purple, or yellow, basically offering every color there is. In many of these plants, the flowers have no petals, and it is their sepals that are bright and colorful. This week's Mystery Plant is not a buttercup, but it is one the members of this family.
It's a common wildflower, with a broad distribution, found from eastern Canada well into the plains, then down south to Arkansas, Mississippi, and Georgia. In the eastern States, it's mostly a plant of woods in the mountains and piedmont regions, usually not too common toward the coast. It's a beautiful perennial plant, rising upward nearly three feet tall sometimes, with large, dark green leaves mostly toward the base. The leaf blades are prominently cleft, or divided, into a number of toothy lobes. Flowering time begins in the early summer, and continues for several weeks. Each flower has five prominent sepals, instead of petals, and these are white, or a bit greenish. Plenty of little stamens will be down there, too, just below an aggregation of tiny green pistils. There can be quite a few of these little pistils, perhaps a hundred or so. Some time after blooming, the sepals will dry up and fall away, and the pistils will swell up a bit, and the whole aggregation will form a head or spike, with a prominent cone-like or cylindrical shape. (Maybe it's more like a thimble.) The little cone starts out firm and hard. But as time goes by, well into autumn, its constituent little achenes become wooly, with fuzzy hairs, and the whole thing becomes soft and starts to fall apart, disintegrating into a fluffy mass. The wind comes along, and Poof-- all the little achenes take off.
Let me end this essay on a somewhat academic and to some, a seemingly trivial note, and ask you to recall that an achene is not just a seed. An achene is itself a fruit, resulting from a matured pistil, and inside is an ovule which was fertilized: that's where the seed is. The same system is involved for our poor little buttercup. (Maybe that's her secret.)

Rated 5 out of 5 by grk82004 Great Shoe! This is a great slip on shoe! It really dresses up a pair of dark skinny jeans or slim black pants. They are super comfortable and run true to size. Consider that this print gives a lot of pairing options and does not limit what you can wear with them. January 25, 2014

"[Sanchez] grabbed me and struck me behind the right ear . . . He continued to grab me, and we both fell to the floor. Upon landing on the floor, [he] sustained a cut on the back of his head."A year later, according to court records, Moreno changed his story again. He told FBI agents that Sanchez was looking right at him with his hands in a "ready position" and refused to put them behind his head. He said he might have grabbed the man's wrists to force him to put his hands behind his back
When Moreno finally pleaded guilty, four years later, he admitted that his assault of Sanchez was unjustified. He was sentenced to a year in prison.
"It's very offensive to me, to the agency, when we hear about someone who abuses their authority," said Agent Cantu, the spokesman for the agency's Tucson Sector. "It gives the entire agency a bad name."
He continued, "It's unfair to judge an entire organization from the actions of one person."
But as the previous examples and the ones that follow attest, more than "one person" within the Border Patrol has violated the public's trust. And given the secrecy in which the actions of agents are cloaked, there is a good probability that these examples merely scratch the surface.
Luis Edward Hermosillo, a California agent, is facing sexual-assault charges for allegedly pulling over a Mexican woman with a tourist visa in June 2009, groping her breasts and genitals, and using his finger to penetrate her while her two young children were in the car.
A judge dismissed charges in 2009 against Nicholas Corbett, a Southern Arizona Border Patrol agent who shot and killed an unarmed immigrant near the border in January 2007, after jurors in two separate trials could not reach a verdict.
Brian Dick, a Tucson border agent, was sentenced in January to more than five years in prison for raping a female agent.
While his crime wasn't directed at an immigrant, his victim shed light on the harassment agents face after reporting abuse by a fellow agent.
The Arizona Daily Star reported that the female agent told her attacker in court that she "received nonstop calls from private numbers from your buddies." She said these callers "should be ashamed of wearing a badge and uniform."
Her story demonstrates that if agents harassed her, one of their own, for reporting that Dick raped her, it is not a stretch to believe what human rights activists have preached for decades — agents are unlikely to report witnessing colleagues abuse immigrants.
There is no doubt that Border Patrol agents have dangerous jobs. And not all of them go home unharmed at the end of their shifts.
Jesus Albino Navarro-Montes was arrested in February 2009 in Mexico and extradited to the United States to face murder charges. Navarro-Montes allegedly ran down Agent Luis Aguilar, who later died, with a Hummer H2 in the Imperial Sand Dunes Recreation Area in California. Navarro-Montes' case is pending.
Later that year, on July 23, a 30-year-old agent was shot and killed while on a call. Agent Robert W. Rosas Jr. was patrolling alone and had radioed spotting several individuals traveling north toward the U.S. border. Then, contact was lost.
Agents were rushing to Rosas' location on a remote border trail east of San Diego when they heard gunshots. They found his vehicle and bullet-riddled body a few feet away.
A judge sentenced Christian Daniel Castro-Alvarez, a Mexican teenager, to 40 years in prison for Rosas' murder.
Though stats on abused immigrants must be ferreted out by news media and activist groups, U.S. border officials are happy to release figures on assaults against Border Patrol agents.
CBP announced that, across the nation, there were 986 assaults on agents in fiscal year 2010, up from 974 the previous year. Along the Southwest border, 974 agents were assaulted in 2010, up from 958 in 2009, the agency says.
Just as immigrants endure desert conditions, including the threat of human assault, Border Patrol agents must work in the same environs, officials note. Not mentioned is that they have the advantages of citizenship, salaries, badges, and licensed weapons.
"We don't mind tracking a group for three, four, five miles in the middle of the heat, in the middle of the cold, whatever," Tucson Sector Agent Cantu said. "That's what we're about."
"There are currently no uniform regulations. [There is] no independent oversight of the treatment of those detained," wrote the authors of No More Deaths' "Crossing the Line" report. "The testimonies [in the report] reveal a systematic refusal to respect the dignity of human beings and a failure to uphold human rights."
Advocacy groups want this culture of cruelty to change. They want Customs and Border Protection to admit there is a big problem and enforce reform. They want the agency to make agents' behavior toward immigrants transparent — stop giving the public the runaround.
On the ground level, they want agents put on notice that there will be serious repercussions if they do not inform immigrants of their rights, provide basic medical care, offer sufficient food and water, and treat them with dignity while they are detained.

Housing, safety issues emphasized
EDITOR'S NOTE: This is one of a series of articles about issues in the Huntington mayoral election. Today's focus: Neighborhood development.
HUNTINGTON -- Both major-party candidates for Huntington mayor agree that the city's population is in a position to grow, but their vision for capitalizing on that potential varies slightly.
The incumbent, Republican Kim Wolfe, cites a plummeting crime rate and advancements in tearing down dilapidated housing during his first four years in office. If re-elected, those efforts will continue while the city looks to promote itself more, he said.
The Democratic challenger, Councilman Steve Williams, also said public safety and improving the housing stock are critical components of making Huntington more attractive. But those efforts won't have as much meaning if the city can't find a way to foster economic development in several key areas of the city, he says.
Whoever wins the Nov. 6 mayoral election will be tasked with making the city an attractive place to live and work with depleted resources fueled by decades of population loss. The city's population, which was at an all-time high of 86,000 in 1950, declined for the sixth consecutive decennial Census in 2010. Huntington's population decreased by 4.5 percent from 51,475 in 2000 to 49,138 in 2010, although city officials point to annual Census estimates that have shown small population gains since 2009. That was the first time the city saw year-to-year population growth since 1993.
Wolfe cites housing, fighting crime as key to growth
Wolfe touts his record of curbing crime and making progress in tearing down and acquiring dilapidated properties for redevelopment purposes during the past four years. He says both measures fulfill a campaign promise four years ago of making the city safer and cleaner.
Huntington's violent crime and property crime rates fell significantly between 2007 and 2010, according to the most recent data compiled by the FBI. The Huntington Police Department's Uniform Crime Report for 2010 indicated the lowest rates recorded for violent crime and property crime during the past 27 years. The violent crime rate alone fell more than 38 percent between 2007 and 2010.
Wolfe also says 130 dilapidated structures have been demolished during his four years in office. That includes several structures that were razed because of a $100,000 anonymous donation from a citizen in 2009 and 52 properties that are being torn down by the West Virginia National Guard and state Division of Highways. Before Wolfe took office, the city struggled to demolish 10 condemned properties per year.
"The most important thing to remember is that the community bought into this, whereas they have been hesitant in the past," Wolfe said. "You've seen relations get better between law enforcement and the citizens because we've done new things like the Weed and Seed Program and the Drug Market Intervention Program where both sides are working together. That's the kind of work that brings neighborhoods back."
Wolfe said the one thing he hasn't done well in his first four years in office is promote the city's successes. That will change if he's re-elected, he said.
"Crime is down, we've got a grip on dilapidated housing, we've paved streets every year and we've added jobs in the city with Amazon and DirecTV," Wolfe said. "We need to do a better job of telling these success stories. We need a public information office where we can do that."
Recreational opportunities such as the Paul Ambrose Trail for Health and planned improvements for Harris Riverfront Park also must be promoted in an effort to keep more Marshall University students in Huntington after they graduate, Wolfe said.
"Why will they stay here? Affordable housing and recreational opportunities," he said. "We have tremendous potential here."
Williams explains vision for attracting residents
Williams said one of his long-term goals as mayor is to make Huntington the most populous city in West Virginia by the 2020 Census.
To increase population and end the trend of residents moving to eastern Cabell County or into Lawrence County, Ohio, Huntington must update its housing stock, Williams said.
"One of the main problems you hear about in Huntington is that the housing stock is outdated and there's not enough available property to build new housing," Williams said.
He believes that problem is being addressed with the Huntington Urban Renewal Authority's land bank program, which takes ownership of dilapidated properties and vacant lots and sells them to residential developers with the agreement that the property will be returned to productive use.
Doing so forces the city to work with neighborhood associations to create more green space in residential areas, thus alleviating storm water concerns and developing recreational opportunities, Williams said. It also requires the city to revamp and streamline its code enforcement procedures, he said.
"The city can't be encouraging development and not be a partner in the development process through effective code enforcement and inspections programs," Williams said. "I've spoken to a few of the code enforcement officers and inspectors and they can identify cost-effective ways to meet code requirements."
On a larger scale, residents also have to feel confident that the city can offer adequate public safety, Williams said. City officials can easily point to reductions in crime rates, but making residents feel safe goes beyond statistics, Williams said. It involves community policing like the measures that have been taken in Fairfield West with the Weed and Seed program, he said.
"It can't just be all about drug and prostitution arrests," he said. "Neighborhoods have to look and feel safe as well."
If elected, Williams said he would also use his economic development background to "marry neighborhood development and commercial development."
"I look at the city now and I see four development zones that we should be targeting," Williams said. "We have what I call the Hal Greer Boulevard corridor, Central City and West End, the downtown and the ACF Industries site in Highlawn."
Williams says all of the proposed development zones would benefit if the city created tax-increment financing districts for each one.
Tax-increment financing districts allow developers to capture increases in property tax and sales tax revenues brought about by a redevelopment project and use the revenues for infrastructure or other improvements in the designated area. Such districts, or TIFs as they are commonly called, already exist in parts of downtown Huntington and at KineticPark, the city's long-planned business park.
"If we can create TIF districts in those areas and encourage redevelopment, struggling neighborhoods will begin to flourish again," Williams said. "All you have to do is look back through the years and see how many of Huntington's neighborhoods grew up as a result of industry and economic development."

Sarah Hodierne of Ashley Ridge High School from Summerville, represented South Carolina as a delegate to the 2013 National Youth Science Camp (NYSC). Hodierne joined 121 other top high school graduates representing the United States and nine other countries at the prestigious four-week program, now in its 50th year. The NYSC, located in the beautiful and rustic setting of the Monongahela National Forest in West Virginia, integrates scientific programming with opportunities for delegates to explore music, art, and the outdoors.
Each year, delegates are able to attend lectures and directed studies led by top scientists and professors from all over the country. This year's lecture topics included: cancer research, genomic medicine, radio astronomy, and energy sustainability. Throughout camp, the directed study program allowed delegates to have extensive hands-on experience in specific fields that interest the delegates individually. Delegates had the opportunity to dissect a pig's heart, discuss bioethics, construct robots, and study cybersecurity measures.
In addition to learning about groundbreaking scientific research, delegates explored their natural surroundings through an extensive outdoor program consisting of hiking, caving, mountain biking, and rock climbing. The overnight backpacking trips provided delegates an opportunity to bond and appreciate the simplicity of nature. Delegates also chose from seminars ranging from Ultimate Frisbee and swing dancing to discussions of philosophy, travel, religion, and culture.
Hodierne said, "The NYSC has opened my eyes to so many new perspectives. Meeting delegates from other countries only shows me how much more I want to study abroad. I also have gotten the chance to hear about how real scientists apply what they study in school which is inspiring."
Hodierne also included, "I was challenged to step out of my comfort zone an embrace the challenge at hand. I tried to many new things that I never would have on my own. When faced with something scary like rock climbing I trusted the other delegates to hold the ropes so I could conquer the wall."

The Fort Dorchester baseball team returns six starters this season and all of them have some pitching experience.
"Pitching should be a strength for us and we return our top four hitters from last season," Patriot coach Jack Radcliffe said. "We are slowly jelling as a team. By mid-season we should be in good shape."
Radcliffe is expecting big things from shortstop Ryan Boyle and outfielder Corey Rawlings. Both have been team leaders since the 2011 season when they received All-state honors.
First baseman Cody Meree and designated hitter Malik Grant are also back after finishing last season among the Patriots' top hitters. The teams' other returning starters are infielder Josh Murray and outfielder Myles Snype.
Boyle enters this season as the Fort's ace and Rawlings and Murray bring a lot of pitching experience to the No. 2 and No. 3 spots in the rotation. Meree saw limited action on the hill last season but is looking to do more pitching this year.
During the Goose Creek American Legion Pre-season Tournament Rawlings picked up a win over Cane Bay and Boyle struck out 11 batters against Berkeley.
In the field, the Patriots only start one senior, Boyle. Meree and Grant will split time at first base while Murray and eighth-grader Drew Yniest will split time at second. Charlie Cooper will man the hot corner and freshman Ryan Thomas will catch.
Rawlings will anchor the outfield. Myles Snype will man right field while Austin McClung and Yniesta will split time in leftfield.
Sophomore Eurndraus Bryant (6-2, 360) also stands to see some action as a DH/first baseman. Others vying for playing time include Mike Maiorelle, Jaxon Anderson, Travis Sturdivant, Austin Jones, Tyler Jones and Mamie Mazyck.
The Patriots had success in spurts last season but struggled once region play arrived. They missed the playoffs after going 2-6 in region play.
This year Bluffton joins Region 8-AAAA and the competition should remain stiff. However, not all of the other teams in the region have the experience they had last season.
"Region play will be tough," Radcliffe said. "We will have to hit good pitching and play solid defense."
Fort Dorchester opened its season Wednesday at Goose Creek. The Patriots' first home game is scheduled for 7 p.m. March 12 when they host Military Magnet.

SSU Release
For the second time this season, and third time during his Shawnee State career, senior Tyler Morgan has been named the Mid-South Conference Player of the Week.
His latest honor comes after recording a pair of double-doubles in the Bears' victories over Wilberforce (80-56) and Bluefield (89-57).
His previous honor this season came during the week of Jan. 7. He becomes just the second player in the Mid-South Conference to take home multiple player of the week honors this season.
In the two dominating victories, Morgan started off his week with a team-high 21 points and 10 rebounds during the non-conference trip to Wilberforce. With just the one conference game this weekend, Morgan again led his team in points (22) and rebounds (14) during the win on Homecoming Weekend against Bluefield. With two more double-doubles to his name, Morgan continues to lead the conference with seven for the season.
The senior is currently averaging 16.2 points and a team-high 9.1 rebounds per game. Against Mid-South teams, he has been even better. Through the first 10 MSC games, Morgan has averaged a double-double with 16.9 points and 10.2 rebounds per game.
Morgan is currently leading the Mid-South Conference in rebounding (both in conference and overall). He is tied for eighth in the conference (with teammate Jeremy Bennington) in scoring during MSC games and is ninth overall in scoring over the course of the season.
He has scored at least 20 points on seven different occasions this season. Four of those have come during his last six games. Overall, five of those 20-plus point games have come during conference matchups. He has also pulled down at least nine rebounds during each of the last six games and has gathered at least that many rebounds in all but one conference game.
On the national stage, he ranks sixth in the NAIA is rebounds per game and seventh in defensive rebounds per game (6.2). He is 10th in total rebounds (164), 23rd in offensive rebounds per game (2.9) and 47th in points per game.
He has already broken SSU's career record for rebounding and is now just 99 points away from breaking the career record for scoring with 11 more regular season games to go.

Fraser Health halts planned fecal transplants
Fraser Health has halted plans for an unusual treatment of implanting feces into patients threatened by potentially deadly infections after the federal government objected.
Fecal transplants are thought to be a way to introduce healthy gut bacteria that can crowd out and replace dangerous bacteria such as C. difficile. Stool from healthy patients can be added via enema or a tube down the throat.
Doctors at Burnaby and Ridge Meadows hospitals were to provide the therapy to patients whose recurring C. difficile infections haven't been cured by antibiotics and have battled chronic diarrhea.
The physicians have argued fecal transplants are effective and could have saved the lives of multiple patients who died of C. difficile infections at Lower Mainland hospitals in recent years.
Health Canada, which considers the treatment investigational, recently stated it can only be performed within clinical trials, which it has authorized in other provinces but not in B.C.
Dr. Elizabeth Brodkin, medical director of infection prevention and control at Fraser Health, said Fraser has put the pilot project on hold in response but she still strongly supports the concept.
"We are fully committed to bringing this procedure to our patients in the near future as we know it can save lives," Brodkin said in an emailed statement.
Fraser didn't believe fecal transplants would be considered an experimental drug limited to clinical trials until it got notification from Ottawa.
"We aren't considering a clinical trial for this procedure, as we feel there have been sufficient clinical trials to show that this treatment is safe and effective," Brodkin said.
She said the health authority first confirmed that the College of Physicians and Surgeons of B.C. had no objection to physicians using the treatment.
Brodkin points to a European trial that was halted early after it cured 94 per cent of C. difficile diarrhea sufferers compared to 27 per cent for the powerful antibiotic vancomycin.
The findings, reported in early 2013 in the New England Journal of Medicine, concluded it was significantly more effective than antibiotics – three to four times more likely to cure the infection.
Fraser Health's first fecal transplant was performed in 2010 at Burnaby Hospital by Dr. Jeanne Keegan-Henry.
Fraser Health's own newsletter hailed Keegan-Henry for pioneering the procedure in an article titled "The S**t Disturber."
It recounted how she bought a blender, labelled it 'Don't use for food' and churned up a diluted mix of a healthy donor's feces that she then implanted via colonoscopy into a C. difficile patient who was near death.
A second implant was performed a year later by Maple Ridge Dr. Ed Auersperg but officials ordered a halt as they hadn't been approved.
The health authority reconsidered the issue last year and decided to pursue the new pilot. Donors would have been screened to prevent the spread of diseases – the main cost of the procedure.
Keegan-Henry told the newsletter the "ewww" factor is the main objection, but not usually from patients.
"By the time you've had diarrhea for two to three months, if someone says 'I'm going to do something absolutely disgusting to you and within an hour you will stop having diarrhea and you may never have it again' you'd be surprised how little resistance there is."
She described the fecal implants as a "cheap and easy" fix to an awful "heartbreaking" disease that incapacitates victims for months and kills some of them.
"I don't have any doubts this will save lives."
Fecal transplants have gained attention in recent years as a potential treatment for other intestinal disorders as well.

Tuscarawas News Detail
Campus Transformation Continues to Build MomentumPosted Jan. 14, 2013
The physical transformation of Kent State University's flagship campus continues its strong momentum with several actions taken on Dec. 12 by Kent State University's Board of Trustees.
After a competitive bidding and interview process, the Board hired The Ruhlin Company of Akron to oversee the construction and renovation projects known collectively as the "Foundations of Excellence, Building the Future" initiative.
During the next four years, the company will manage the scheduling, coordination, construction contracting, contract accounting and communications related to the initiative's four primary capital projects, which total nearly $150 million and are being financed in part through the university's issuance of $170 million in general receipts bonds: major renovations of the most heavily used science buildings (Cunningham, Smith and Williams halls) and a multidisciplinary research addition in the science mall area; construction of a new building for Kent State's nationally respected College of Architecture and Environmental Design near the Kent State University Hotel and Conference Center that will open next June; the rehabilitation, reconstruction or replacement of the art complex; and construction of a new building on the science mall to house the College of Applied Engineering, Sustainability and Technology.
The Board also approved the use of $5.9 million in bond revenue funds for a project to renovate the Olson Center for Undergraduate Studies on the Kent Campus. The center, which provides extensive academic advising services and coordinates advising support throughout the university, was built in 1961 as a dining facility.
In addition, the Board approved the use of $2.5 million in bond revenue funds for a project to renovate the 10,000-square-foot Memorial Auditorium and Convocation Center (MACC) Annex for critically needed swing space as the university moves forward with its "Foundations of Excellence, Building the Future" initiative. The MACC Annex renovations will be completed next summer.
Board of Trustees Gavel Changes Hands
The gavel used by the chair of the Kent State University Board of Trustees was passed to Jane Murphy Timken as the Board passed a resolution of appreciation to acknowledge the many contributions of Trustee Jacqueline Woods, who completed a two-year term as Board chair on Dec. 12.
Woods, a former AT&T Ohio president, is serving a nine-year term on the volunteer Board that will continue through May 2013. The Board's resolution commended Woods, a Solon resident, for providing "dynamic leadership at a remarkable time of growth and advancement for Kent State" and for her focus on the "bottom lines" of financial integrity and academic excellence.
Timken is a Canton resident who began her term as a Kent State Trustee in 2005. She is a graduate of Harvard College and she holds a law degree from American University. Timken has served as a magistrate in Common Pleas Court and practiced law, concentrating in employment and general civil litigation.

Letterpress is amazing, therefore, Brichter is amazing, he's done great things. What it sounds like it is he really helped how people interact with their mobile devices.
Loren Brichter's influence on mobile app design
Loren Brichter got his start working on the original iPhone at Apple, then created and ultimately sold Tweetie to Twitter, and is now responsible for the phenomenal word game, Letterpress. Jessica E. Lessin has profiled Brichter, and elaborated on his influence on mobile interface design in the Wall Street Journal:
When Dominique Leca wanted feedback on his Sparrow mail mobile app in 2010, he sought out Mr. Brichter. Mr. Brichter responded to Mr. Leca with copious notes about the Sparrow app, including suggesting an adjustment to Sparrow's text placement and advising Mr. Leca to "delay the fade-out animation by a second or so." Mr. Leca says he followed much of the advice and asked Mr. Brichter to be an adviser; Sparrow later received much acclaim and was acquired by Google Inc. last year.
Pull-to-refresh, sliding panel layers, and swipe-to-reveal are just a few of the things the WSJ reports have been picked up by everyone from Apple to BlackBerry to Facebook to Google. I think they even try to stick him with hamburger buttons and basements, the now ubiquitous 3-line icons that reveal a sidebar filled with menu items. Busted, Brichter!
The full article is a great read, but might be blocked by a paywall. This Google search link might get you in.
We've been honored to have Brichter talk about his background and work on both Iterate and Debug:
Congratulations to Brichter. I'm a huge fan of his work and I'm looking forward to this "arcade game" they tease as his next project.

Loren Brichter's influence on mobile app design
This was interesting. I thought this was a new api that was created by one company and copied by others. The sliding panels where you slide from side to side to bring forth a new panel with menu options...I had no idea it was first designed by Brichter. Well done. The usability and user-friendliness is amazing.
Not taking away from them, but guys like Steve Jobs are the face of everything and its good to see and appreciate some of these other folks and their contributions.
It really is quite remarkable to see people harvests their ingenuity and transform their ideas into real life successes. Will there ever be another Steve Jobs?

steve jobs knows great design when he sees it
No doubt Loren is a genius and knows what he is talking about when it comes to app content and design. When every other major company picks up on his content to include in their own you have to give the guy props. I also just read the full article in the WSJ and it is really good really giving you what Loren is all about.
One of my favorite games.

I'm sorry guys, I listened to the show last night and all I heard was 45 minutes of whining. Yes, Apple has changed the world 6 times in our lifetimes…so what. Why not 16?? I'm a tech old-timer and this was like the whining I used to hear in San Jose in the early 2000's when the bottom was falling out of the tech market for real. BUT, this slump in Apple has NOTHING to do with reality - it has EVERYTHING to do with perception. And in THAT town, San Jose, as in the frivolous walnut-paneled offices on Wall Street, day traders think you're on a downtrend and NOBODY from the company has got the balls to stand up to these clown and tell the to stop - down you go…ALL THE WAY DOWN.
Tim Cook..toast… You guys..nada… Gruber… window dressing… Who's left??

The Best of Peter Som for Kohl's
Miley Cyrus is no fashion wallflower—in fact, she just dubbed herself a Marc Jacobs muse. Coming from any other star, this would be a pretty bold proclamation to make, but for the singer, it's right on point—tame, even—with this year's string of headline-grabbing antics. But as provocative as she has been of late, we can't forget that Cyrus has had the public's attention, for better or worse, since she was Disney's fresh-faced top teen. In honor of the release of her highly-anticipated album Bangerz, we celebrate that transformation with a look back at her biggest style moments—denim sweatpants, Mickey Mouse sweater, and all.
The singer dons one of her "Bangerz" Tour costumes while performing a show in San Jose.

Comment Re:Entrapment (Score 1) 545
Exactly. Also 'entrapment' (seducing people into committing a crime) is illegal in Holland. So the pedophiles found in the Netherlands in this way will likely not be prosecuted. However, I get the feeling that this was not the intention of the project. I think they just wanted to show how widespread this issue is, and get attention for it. So that 'legal' (whatever that is in your country) measures can be taken to stop this.
