Maps Of Mice - And Men
International consortium maps 98% of the mouse genome
A UK-US-Canada consortium coordinated at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute publishes in Nature online (Sunday, August 4, 2002, 19.00 GMT) the most comprehensive map of the mouse genome, containing an estimated 98% of the DNA sequence. The map has already proven a valuable resource in the hunt for mouse and - even more importantly - human genes.
The genome of the mouse is widely regarded as one of the keys to understanding the human genome sequence. For example, comparing the two sequences can highlight regions that act to control genes. Such control regions, which are very difficult to find using current methods, are crucial in understanding the role of genes in health and disease. An accurately 'drawn' mouse genome map is vital in helping to turn human DNA sequence into a research tool for biomedicine.
The mouse map resembles an atlas of a country: it provides an overview of the genome landscape and, because all locations are indexed, it allows the user to focus rapidly on the region of interest. Any 'page' of the mouse genome can be selected and any piece of information - or any remaining uncertainty or problem in the sequence - can be examined by concentrating the effort exclusively on the relevant place, while excluding all the other parts.
Simon Gregory, leader of the project at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, said: "By investing in a large-scale collaborative effort, we have been able to generate an exceptional resource that covers almost 100% of the mouse genome. The map allows us to pick out the regions that are lacking in the whole genome assembly, to focus on genes and to highlight regions of similarity between mouse and human."
Without a map, it is not possible with current technology to sequence a large genome finished to the standards demanded by the international research community. All large genomes are finished using mapped DNA clones.
Professor Allan Bradley, Director of the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute stated: "As we move forward to interpreting the code of life, the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute will provide a suite of resources that will accelerate discovery by biomedical researchers around the world. The map of the mouse genome is one example of the collaborative work we and our partners do to put enabling research tools as swiftly as possible into the hands of those who need them - scientists working to understand and defeat disease."
In the two-year project more than 300,000 randomly selected individual genomic fragments were overlapped to establish unlocalized coverage of the mouse genome - fewer than 8000 genome segments. In a final mapping step, unique mouse chromosome data were incorporated to reduce that number still further: the published map contains fewer than 300 gaps.
Professor Steve Brown, Director of the MRC Mammalian Genetics Unit, Harwell, one of the largest mouse genetics research centres in Europe, said: "The publication of the mouse physical map represents a major milestone in our study of the function of genes in both human and mouse. Together with the mouse draft sequence, it is transforming the science of mouse genetics and will enormously enhance our ability to understand the role of genes in human disease."
The map will continue to be improved and developed. The value of the publication also lies in the way in which the methods developed for this project can be exploited in the future. The laboratories involved have been at the forefront of exploring technologies to provide genomic information as rapidly as possible and the mouse map is a benchmark for future work.
Very rapidly and with little DNA sequencing a biological repository can be produced for a species that allows researchers to home in on the regions of the genome that interest them and provides the materials to take biomedical research forward.
Dr Marco A. Marra, Director of the Genome Sciences Centre in Vancouver, said: "The mouse is one of the most important animal models for studying cancer and many other human diseases. Rapid and accurate mapping of the mouse genome and linking the map to the human genome sequence will accelerate world-wide efforts to understand the molecular basis of cancer, and will provide an important genomic resource for the international research community."
In comparative genomics, new sets of information for each species are being used to improve analysis and accuracy of existing sequence sets. A major role of genomics and bioinformatics is to manage and exploit these large datasets through collaborative work and exchange.
Notes for Editors

Additional Quotes
John McPherson, Associate Professor of Genetics at Washington University, added: "We have been able to build upon the experience of constructing a clone-based map of the human genome. This accelerated the construction of the mouse map providing a tremendous resource for the mouse scientific community. The physical map will continue to be curated and be made publicly available."
Dr David Bentley, Head of Human Genetics at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, added: "One of the key features of this project was using the human genome sequence to accelerate the process of mapping out the mouse genome. The enormous success of this approach points the way for tackling many other mammalian genomes."
Pieter de Jong, Director of BACPAC Resources at the Children's Hospital & Research Center at Oakland expressed his excitement: "It is very gratifying that this new mapping approach will open the floodgates towards similar studies for many additional species relevant for human health and the human food supply. Species such as rat, cat, dog, cattle, pig and chicken are already available to the international community through the unique cloned genomic fragment resources created in Oakland"

Flying from Dresden
As Dresden becomes increasingly popular with tourists, the city's airport has become an active hub in the country. Dresden International Airport (DRS) is located 9 kilometers northeast of the city center. Travelers who take flights from Dresden with airberlin can connect to a number of airports within Germany, across Europe and destinations around the world.
Dresden International Airport Information
A stroll through Dresden International Airport can feel like walking through a mall rather than an airport. A large number of stores, bars and restaurants line the hallways to keep you occupied while you wait for your next flight. At the travel center you will find agents ready to help you plan your holiday. Stop by the viewing platform for a drink and enjoy the view of the runway.
Getting to the Airport in Dresden
Travelers can take a train to Dresden International Airport and get off at a station just beneath the terminal. The journey from the city takes about 20 minutes. A bus to Dresden International Airport requires several changes, but is a cheaper option. You can also hire a taxi to Dresden International Airport.
Arriving in Lanzarote
Find your place in the waters of the Atlantic with tickets to Lanzarote through airberlin. The "island of eternal spring" was once a volcanic hotspot, but now offers international tourists an opportunity to enjoy the purity of an untouched natural environment.
First Time in Lanzarote
Travel to Lanzarote and enjoy lush vegetation to the north and pristine beaches to the south. Reminders of the island's volcanic past can be seen throughout, creating an endless number of opportunities to view some of the most unique geological formations in the world.
Your Lanzarote
Flights to Lanzarote will give spelunkers the opportunity to travel deep into the 6-kilometer Cueva de los Verdes, the world's longest volcanic gallery.
Making the Most of Your Lanzarote Holiday
This relatively flat island has a dry, predictable climate that can be enjoyed in every season with flight deals to Lanzarote. Cooling breezes keep temperatures on the island mild and enjoyable. Look for cheap hotels in Lanzarote during the fall and spring months when the tourism season slows down. If you're considering a trip to Lanzarote, pick airberlin for unparalleled service and quality.

The future of Anderson County Council is unfolding, but what does it all mean?
ANDERSON COUNTY - With Bob Waldrep's runoff win Tuesday night, the formation of next year's Anderson County Council is becoming clear, and some residents already are hailing the shake-up as a mandate for conservative government.
District 2 incumbent Gracie Floyd is the only Democrat seeking a seat on the council, which means this month's Republican primary likely has sealed six of the seven council seats.
Waldrep, Cindy Wilson and Ron Wilson will remain on council as the representatives for districts 1, 7 and 6, respectively. They'll be joined by newcomers Eddie Moore, Tom Allen and Tommy Dunn, who will represent Districts 3, 4 and 5 respectively.
"The drama is over," wrote one member of The Cocklebur, an online Anderson political forum. "The TOGA (transparency and open government allegations) party won. They owned the issue. All the king's money and all the king's men couldn't change that. So now what?"
Replacing three members on a seven-person council shows voters are ready for new blood and new ideas, said Bruce Ransom, a political science professor at Clemson University and Pendleton resident.
But how the change-up will affect ongoing squabbles between County Administrator Joey Preston and Cindy Wilson remains to be seen, Ransom said. Cindy Wilson and Waldrep regularly vote together on issues, so only two of the three oncoming council members would need to vote with Wilson to see a shift in the majority, he said.
"That gets everyone's attention," Ransom said. "That gets (people's) thinking and behavior (focused) around whether there will be a shake up. … It does open the door for that possibility."
Dan Harvell, a supporter of Waldrep and Cindy Wilson, said he believes voters are finally voicing their opposition the county administration's abuses of power and the administrator's "dictatorial" leadership style.
"I feel this entire election cycle is a referendum on Joey Preston," Harvell said.
What will happen to the administrator in January is the undercurrent running through most political discussions following the primary. Allen said accountability came up over and over again as he walked around the neighborhoods in District 4.
"They don't know where their tax dollars are going," he said. "They don't know how they are being spent."
Allen said he is supportive of a full audit because it could bridge the gap between those who are suspicious of the county government's spending and those who aren't. Ron Wilson, who called for the complete audit in last month's council meeting, said he expects most of the new council members will support that move.
But neither Allen nor Wilson sees a new council giving the administrator his walking papers. It would be irresponsible of those coming in to not give the administrator a chance to work with them, Wilson said.
"I think everyone wants to see Anderson County move forward and progress," he added. After the June 10 Republican primary, Preston said the relationships between council members always are evolving, and he believes that will continue to be the case.
"I believe with the new council members and the new council, the focus will remain on serving the people of this great community," Preston wrote in an e-mail. "I hope that we can do that with healthy debate and well-thought out decisions that we can all be proud of today and into the future."
The Anderson Independent-Mail contacted Administrator Joey Preston during the course of reporting this story, but didn't receive his reply until this morning.
"I welcome all of the new members that were recently elected, and I look forward to working with each and everyone of them," he said in an e-mail. " I also will be available to provide them with any assistance they may require in the time of transition".

If not for the blinding flash of Angelina Jolie's sinewy thigh, her heavy black Atelier Versace dress would have looked like nothing so much as an oversized velvet (who knows?) garbage bag. So believe us when we say: we get the pose. But we weren't the only people laughing when she got up on stage to present the award for Best Adapted Screenplay and cocked her leg out like a pageant toddler in the final round of Miss Pixie Stix Louisiana.
Before The Descendants screenwriters Alexander Payne, Nat Faxon, and Jim Rash began their acceptance speech for the award, the trio (led by Rash on stage left) took a perfectly timed shot at Jolie by mimicking her thigh-baring pose. Now if only the former Groundlings troupe-members had hosted the entire show.

Seacoast Banking Corp. reports third-quarter net income
STUART — Another reduction of non-performing loans and some belt-tightening put Seacoast National Bank's bottom line back into black ink in the third quarter.
Seacoast Banking Corp. of Florida, the bank-holding company for Seacoast National Bank, reported net income of $447,000 for the third quarter. Seacoast, however, still has a year-to-date net loss of $950,000 because of a $2.3 million loss in the second quarter when it proactively reduced non-performing assets to pre-recession levels.
Stuart-based Seacoast, the only publicly traded bank headquartered on the Treasure Coast, is one of the largest independent commercial banking organizations in Florida with approximately $2.1 billion in assets and 38 offices in South and Central Florida.
Seacoast ranks first in deposit market share in Martin County, with 20.6 percent, and fourth in the Treasure Coast, at 11.8 percent.
Increasing revenue sources include personal deposits growing at an annual rate of 17 percent a year as customer households increased by 6.3 percent from a year ago.
Fee-based revenues — primarily fees for account service charges, mortgage loans and credit card transactions — are up 8.8 percent from the previous quarter and 20.7 percent from a year ago.
Mortgage loan fees, for example, increased by 28 percent from a previous quarter and have more than doubled from a year ago.
Chairman and CEO Dennis Hudson said, "I think the residential market is really starting to improve."
Hudson said increasing revenues helps the bank's bottom line, but before implementing his profitability improvement plan for 2013 he focused on two key goals — reducing loan losses and cutting overhead.
Net charge-offs of non-performing loans were reduced to less than $2.5 million during the quarter compared with almost $6.3 million in the second quarter.
And current non-performing loans declined by 8.3 percent, Hudson said, an indication of potentially fewer foreclosures in the future.
Some savings resulted from some restricting of upper management, which was announced last month. Seacoast also closed one branch in a Wal-Mart in Vero Beach earlier this year and plans to close three more — in Jensen Beach, Vero Beach and Wauchula in Hardee County — by the year's end.
Hudson said the dozen or so employees at those branches already have been reassigned to vacant positions in other branches.
"For a year now, we've basically been improving the credit metrics," Hudson said. "As a result, we're now at a point where we can focus on improving the bottom line."
The profitability improvement plan contains more than 100 separate elements that are evenly balanced between revenue enhancements and cost reductions, Hudson said.

Illegal immigrant supporters push Brewer for licenses
PHOENIX — Supporters of young immigrants granted the right to stay in the
country by President Barack Obama are urging Gov. Jan Brewer to change her mind
and let them get driver's licenses, citing new federal guidelines that clarify
that those in the program are legally in the country.
Democratic lawmakers were joined by several young immigrants at the state
Capitol on Tuesday to try to persuade the Republican governor to revoke her
order blocking licenses for those granted so-called deferred action. They argued
the Department of Homeland Security clarification late last week clears up any
concerns Brewer had about their legal status.
Brewer issued an executive order on Aug. 15 barring state agencies from
granting driver's licenses and other benefits to those granted deferrals. Her
action came two months after Obama said he would defer deportations for people
younger than 30 who were brought to the U.S. before they turned 16. They will be
granted work permits and Social Security numbers, allowing them to live and work
in the U.S.
Brewer's decision sparked a lawsuit by some people denied licenses. The case is
pending in federal court.
A Democratic lawmaker who proposed a bill that would permit those accepted into Obama's program to get licenses said she does not think it will pass because of the Republican majority.
"It's not going to get passed by both houses," said Rep. Anna Tovar. "But I do feel that it's the need and the wants of my constituents that are pushing me to file the bill."
Tovar added that she hopes the bill creates a talking point for the governor.
Rep. Martin Quezada, D-Phoenix, said nearly 14,000 Arizonans have either
applied for or been granted deferred action. Friday's clarification from
Homeland Security removes Brewer's argument that they were not legal.
"She has what she needs now to do the right thing," Quezada said. "Many,
many other states are already doing this, why is Arizona not? It's not because
there's a legal reason not to, it's because it's a political statement she's
trying to make."
Brewer spokesman Steve Benson said the governor and her lawyers were still
assessing the Homeland Security directive.
Elisa Vega, a 21-year-old Phoenix resident who was brought to the U.S. at age
4, said having a driver's license is a critical need.
"It's important to just basically get around everyday life, like if I have to
go to the store or if I have to find a job," Vega said.
She also said it's important for the general public, because allowing those
with deferred action to be licensed also means they can get insurance.
KTAR's Bob McClay contributed to this report.

The Magazine
Ideas in Battle
A publisher's reflection.
Jul 21, 2008, Vol. 13, No. 42 • By ROGER KIMBALL
At a June 4 meeting in Washington to observe the tenth anniversary of Encounter Books, sponsored by the Hudson Institute's Bradley Center for Philanthropy and Civic Renewal, Roger Kimball, editor of The New Criterion and publisher of Encounter Books, offered some introductory remarks, "Encounter and the Power of Ideas."
The work of the Spanish-born American philosopher George Santayana is not as well known today as it should be. But nearly everyone knows Santayana's observation that "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." As the publisher of Encounter Books, a press concerned with ideas and public policy, I often think of Santayana's admonition. It always inspires a certain fear and trembling, especially when I remember it in conjunction with that old Chinese curse: "May you live in interesting times."
We certainly live in interesting times. It is an age in which "faster" is synonymous with "better," when yesterday seems like ancient history, and when empty hortatory words like "change," "audacity," and "innovation" are widely regarded as beneficent talismans of universal future happiness--a happiness that never actually arrives but which, so we are told, is always just around the corner.
Who are we, we Americans of the 21st century? How did we arrive at our present prosperity? What sacrifices were made by our forbears to bequeath us the richest, freest, most physically secure society in history? What good ideas did the Founders of this republic promulgate to our eventual benefit? Equally important, what bad ideas did they shackle, tame, and inoculate us against? It is worth stressing the bad ideas. Santayana's observation about the dangers of forgetting the past is fearsome not only because of the good things we might miss, should forgetting progress and metastasize; it is fearsome also because of the many bad things that we thought we had vanquished only to see them striding buoyantly over the horizon once more.
More than two decades ago, Daniel Patrick Moynihan ruefully noted that Republicans had become "the party of ideas." Although it is not universally acknowledged, especially in Washington, Moynihan was right about that, as recent American political history amply attests on issues from welfare and taxes to free markets and national security. And this fact tempts me to indulge in an extended parenthesis. Recently the New Yorker ran a long piece by George Packer about the alleged bankruptcy of conservative ideas. The newsstand edition even featured a headline wondering whether the GOP was "brain dead," a question which prompted me to ask "compared to whom?"
Packer's article was unsatisfactory in ways large and small. Where, one wonders, was the New Yorker's vaunted fact-checking department? Why had they not scrupled to verify the many misquotations and mischaracterizations that bedizen the piece? Packer seemed to mistake intellectual sobriety with intellectual weakness. Compared with the situation a few decades ago, conservative ideas enjoy enormous influence in our society nearly everywhere that doesn't begin with the words "University of . . ." On economic matters, for example, it is widely understood that low taxes and free markets conduce to the production of wealth, and that what Friedrich Hayek called "the extended order of cooperation," aka capitalism, is enormously more successful at ensuring prosperity and underwriting liberty than any of the sentimental, socialistic alternatives on offer.
It is part of the responsible exercise of intelligence to recognize the difference between ideas that work and produce desirable outcomes, and those which merely produce a species of moral intoxication. Packer points to no left-liberal ideas that can compete with conservative ideas; he merely assumes that because conservatives are not beating a gong called "change" they have run out of ideas. The truth is that conservative ideas are regnant, and those who support them understand the wisdom of Lord Falkland's observation that "When it is not necessary to change, it is necessary not to change."
There is much more that might be said about Packer's article. I'll confine myself here to noting his description of the New Criterion as a "dour" publication, a characterization which suggests that Packer either doesn't know what the word "dour" means, that he has never read the New Criterion, or that he was engaged in this article primarily in a species of ideological combat masquerading as journalism. These options, I should note, are not mutually exclusive.
But let me return to Pat Moynihan. I wonder what he would say were he with us today. It was the philosopher Samuel Goldwyn, I believe, who spoke of feeling as if it were "déjà vu all over again." I know what he means. Ideas that have been tried and found wanting; tried and found to be disastrous: the totalitarian temptation in all its many guises; the multifarious utopian schemes for universal beatitude; efforts to curtail freedom in the name of an abstract republic of virtue--all these ideas were thoroughly discredited only yesterday but, like some strange villain out of a science fiction movie, they have suddenly changed shape and are poised to attack again. We have yet to learn--even now, even at this late date--that promises of liberation often turn out to conceal new enchantments and novel forms of bondage.
Consider, to take just one issue that Encounter has weighed in on often, the various efforts to deconstruct American identity and replace it with a multicultural "rainbow" or supranational bureaucracy. Such efforts have made astonishing inroads in the last few decades and, especially, in the last several years. As the political philosopher Samuel Huntington has noted, the attack on American identity has counterparts elsewhere in the West wherever the doctrine of multiculturalism has trumped the cause of national identity. The European Union--whose unelected leaders are as dedicated to multicultural shibboleths as they are to rule by top-down, antidemocratic bureaucracy--is a case in point. But the United States, the most powerful national state, is also the most attractive target for deconstruction.
It is a curious, not to say alarming, development. It corroborates James Burnham's observation that "liberalism permits Western civilization to be reconciled to dissolution." For what we have witnessed with the triumph of multiculturalism is a kind of hypertrophy or perversion of liberalism, as its core doctrines are pursued to the point of caricature. As the Australian philosopher David Stove pointed out, we in the West "set ourselves to achieve a society which would be maximally tolerant. But that resolve not only gives maximum scope to the activities of those who have set themselves to achieve the maximally-intolerant society; it also, and more importantly, paralyzes our powers of resistance to them."
Freedom, diversity, equality, tolerance, even democracy--how many definitive liberal virtues have been redacted into their opposites by the imperatives of political correctness? If a commitment to "diversity" mandates bilingual education, then we must institute bilingual education, even if it results in the cultural disenfranchisement of those it was meant to benefit. The passion for equality demands "affirmative action," even though the process of affirmative action depends upon treating people unequally.
Since September 11, these issues have taken on a new urgency. The murderous fanatics who destroyed the World Trade Center, smashed into the Pentagon, and killed thousands of innocent civilians, took the issue of multiculturalism out of the fetid atmosphere of the graduate seminar and into the streets. Or, rather, they dramatized the fact that multiculturalism was never a merely academic matter. In a sense, the actions of those terrorists were less an attack on the United States than part of what the former Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu called "a war to reverse the triumph of the West."
We are still very far from being in a position to assess the full significance of September 11 for the simple reason that the detonations that began that day continue to reverberate. A battle of wills, a contest of values, a war of ideas, was initiated--or at least openly acknowledged--on September 11. It is much too early to predict the course of that conflict.
Indeed, September 11 precipitated a crisis the end of which we cannot see. Part of the task that faces us now is to acknowledge the depth of barbarism that challenges the survival of culture. And part of that acknowledgment lies in reaffirming the core values that are under attack. That reaffirmation is another part of Encounter's mandate. Ultimately, victory in the conflict that besieges us will be determined not by smart weapons but by smart heads. That is to say, the conflict is not so much--not only--a military conflict as a conflict of world views, of ideas.
And that is where institutions like Encounter Books can play an important role. My point is that when we speak of publishing and the power of ideas, we need to give at least as much attention to criticizing seductive bad ideas as we do to promulgating the good ones. Indeed, because vital good ideas that impinge upon politics and social life tend to be elaborations of relatively simple home truths, the critical project of exposing bad ideas is often tantamount to revealing the good ideas that the bad ideas had obscured or perverted.

What causes abdominal bloating, low back pain and vomiting? 4 possible conditions
See a list of possible causes in order from the most common to the least.
PMS symptoms start five to 11 days before menstruation and typically go away once menstruation begins. The cause of PMS is unknown.
Endometriosis occurs when tissue from the lining of the uterus grows outside of it, forming growths on the ovaries and in the pelvic region.
This condition is considered a medical emergency. Urgent care may be required.
Ectopic pregnancies occur when a fertilized egg fails to attach to the uterus. In most ectopic pregnancies, the egg will attach to the fallopian tubes. Less common, it may also attach to the abdominal cavity or cervix...

Recently, an article on VegNews announced that Biggest Loser trainer, Bob Harper, has gone vegan! Although I do not watch The Biggest Loser I am inspired by the incredible weight loss that has resulted from the show. I am delighted that at least one of the trainers is promoting a cruelty-free diet because I know fitness "guru" Jillian Michaels is certainly not.
I don't know a great deal about Jillian Michaels, aside from the fact that she declares soy to be dangerous for women while having absolutely no educational background in nutrition, chemistry, biology or anything related for that matter. In the past she tweeted about veganism being unhealthy. It frustrates me when people with great influence make claims such as these. People seem to trust Jillian Michaels when it comes to their health but I think they should look deeper into her qualifications before doing so. Don't get me wrong, I think Jillian has a place in the fitness community but she is not a Registered Dietician and should not be touting false claims.
On that same note, Bob Harper is also not a dietician, but it will be encouraging to see someone on a mainstream TV show express the benefits of a vegan diet from his own experience, if he decides to do so. Jenny-O is one of The Biggest Loser sponsors so I won't be surprised if he is tight-lipped about veganism. I can only hope he has the chance to speak his truth.
Meat heavy, high protein diets are the recommendation in most commercial gyms. Bob Harper going vegan is in my opinion, a step in the right direction. Currently, most personal trainers are expected to bring in revenue through protein supplement sales and most encourage their clients to eat higher protein amounts in order to gain muscle mass. As many of us know, excess protein is not beneficial in any way. Hopefully, Bob Harper will educate contestants and viewers about protein needs and vegetarian sources rich in protein. While protein deficiency is a concern in developing countries, it is practically impossible to find in the United States. I will delve deeper into the protein issue and shed some light on common protein myths in a future blog post.
Veganism is a process of learning, making changes and growing. Bravo Bob! I hope you continue happily on your vegan journey.

Brooklyn Slate Company is a collaborative effort from Brooklyn graphic designer Sean Tice and Parsons graduate student Kristy Hadeka. After visiting Hadeka's family slate quarry in upstate New York in the spring of 2009, the two grabbed a few pieces for use as all-purpose boards back home in Brooklyn. They found a number of purposes for the slate such as trivets for tea kettles and hot dishes to coasters for beers, and they began gifting pieces to friends. The response was so overwhelmingly positive that the two struck out to produce a line of slate products forming Brooklyn Slate Company.

As you probably know, disposable diapers sit in a landfill, undecayed, for generations. They're convenient for parents and caregivers but deadly for Mother Earth.
Maybe you didn't know about another big problem. There's evidence that most popular brands of disposable diapers are bad for your baby too.
The good news is that there are brands of disposable diapers that are better for babies. The bad news is that most parents don't use them.

© Copyright 2015 Newton Citizen
COVINGTON -- A Newton County Sheriff's Office deputy happened to be at the right place at the right time on Oct. 26 to break up an altercation involving a tire iron and a handgun.
The deputy was helping a resident open a locked vehicle about 5 p.m. in the parking lot of a business on Eagle Drive when he heard raised voices from the roadway.
He saw two men, one driving a black truck with the driver's side door open who appeared to be yelling at another man in a white truck.
"He initially thought it was an accident," NCSO spokesman 1st Lt. Mark Mitchell said. "Then he saw that the male in the black truck appeared to brandish a handgun and saw him walking toward the male in the white truck, who appeared to take cover."
Mitchell said the deputy ran toward the two trucks with the intention of stopping what was going on, but before he could get there, the man who had been driving the black truck reached the other man and used a tire iron and "poked him in the chest four times, very hard," according to the NCSO incident report.
Once the officer broke up the altercation, he was able to locate the handgun, as well as drugs. He also determined that the suspect was under the influence of alcohol.
Mitchell said it was so far unknown what the altercation was about.
Christopher Marcus Kidd, 24, of 90 Avalon Road was arrested at the scene and charged with violation of the Georgia Controlled Substances Act, drugs to be kept in original container, DUI/alcohol, pointing a gun/pistol at another, and simple assault.
In other crime news, a 51-year-old Decatur man was arrested in a theft by taking incident on Access Road on Oct. 22.
Mitchell said the NCSO received a call about 1 p.m. and learned that the owner of Conestoga Builders at 1265 Access Road was showing a storage building to a customer when a man later identified as Anthony Andre Butler entered the business office.
"He was able to steal some company checks and the owner's wallet," Mitchell said. "When the owner realized this, the male quickly left the business and fled in his vehicle down a no outlet road ... he was driving backwards trying to get away from the owner."
Mitchell said NCSO units went after him and found him driving recklessly through the neighborhood, searching for a way out of the area.
Butler, who initially gave a phony name to deputies, was arrested and charged with theft by taking, reckless driving, driving while license is suspended or revoked and giving false name and information to law enforcement officers.
Also, employees at a church were apparently victimized on Oct. 23 by an unidentified black woman, according to the Covington Police Department.
An employee at Baptist Tabernacle at 10119 Access Road said the woman was observed in the hallway of the church and they began to question among themselves who she was. She was next spotted exiting the restroom and when questioned, she said she was looking for a rental business and decided she needed to use the restroom.
Later the employee noticed that $120 in cash was missing from her purse that was in a backpack behind her desk.
The woman is believed to have been driving a white SUV.

Indian education minister requires study of Hindu scriptures, tells critics to leave country
Catholic World News - July 20, 2011
Christian and Muslim educators have joined in a call for the removal of a government minister in India's Karnataka state who is imposing the study of Hindu scriptures in government-run schools and telling critics of the policy that they should leave the country.
A delegation of Christian and Muslim leaders met with Hans Raj Bharadwaj, the governor of Karnataka, on July 19, asking him to dismiss Vishweshara Hegde Kageri, the state's minister for school education, for asking the critics of teaching of the Bhagavad Gita in classrooms to "quit India."
"By making such a statement, the minister has violated his oath of office," said Imitiaz Ahmed, chairman of the Karnataka State Minorities Educational Institutions Management Federation. Sister Genevieve, secretary of the education commission of the Karnataka Regional Bishops' Council, argued that the classroom study of the Bhagavad Gita in a secular country "violates the freedom of religion" guaranteed under Indian constitution.

PARISHVILLE - A property revaluation in the town of Hopkinton has led to a school tax rate decrease of approximately 32 percent, but increased property values mean the discount wont be nearly that much on school tax bills for residents living in the municipality.
Its a decrease per thousand in assessed value, Assessor Allen W. Fukes said ,referring to the tax rate decrease. The amount theyll pay depends on how much their assessment went up.
That being said, Mr. Fukes noted he believes most residential taxpayers will see a decrease in their tax bill.
I would say most residential properties will be paying anywhere from 10 to 20 percent less, he said, adding that even many of the waterfront property owners along Lake Ozonia will also see a decrease in their tax bills.
Mr. Fukes said the increase in assessed values varied greatly from parcel to parcel.
Some assessments didnt increase much because they were pretty close to their full value assessment to begin with, he said. Some properties did go up quite a bit, mostly those with a lot of vacant land.
Mr. Fukes explained those parcels received the biggest increase because the towns land value has increased significantly since the last revaluation was done.
The revaluation increased the towns assessed value from $56,710,039 up to $83,544,401 and with that increase also came an improvement in the towns equalization rate.
In Hopkinton, they will see a significant decrease in their tax rate, because their equalization rate went up from 72 to 100 percent, said Superintendent Darin P. Saiff.
That would mean in the past a property valued at $100,000 in the town was assessed at $72,000. Equalization rates are set by the state and compare actual property sales to assessments on comparable properties in a municipality.
With the decrease, taxpayers in Hopkinton will pay roughly $12.90 per $1,000 of assessed property value versus the roughly $18.18 they paid last year, a decrease of $5.28.
For example, a property owner assessed at $72,000 with no STAR exemption would have had a school tax bill of $1,308.86 last year. If that property is now valued at $100,000 after the revaluation, his tax bill would drop to $1,290 this year.
When voters in the district headed to the polls this past spring, the budget proposal they voted on called for an estimated 2.91 percent increase.
We assess taxes in four townships, Mr. Saiff said. Three of those towns, Hopkinton, Parishville and Potsdam, will see a tax rate decrease.
While residents in Hopkinton will see the biggest decrease, taxpayers in Parishville and Potsdam will also see tax rate decreases of approximately 1.4 percent.
In Parishville, where the equalization rate remained 5.6 percent, taxpayers will see a tax rate of approximately $230.54 per $1,000 of assessed property value. This rate is $3.28 less than last year.
Potsdams equalization rate also remained the same at 96 percent. Taxpayers there will see a tax rate of approximately $13.44, a decrease of 19 cents from last years rate.
In Stockholm, theyll see a slight increase in their full value tax rate because their equalization rate went from 95 to 92 percent, Mr. Saiff said.
That change results in a 1.8 percent tax rate increase, which is still less than voters had anticipated in the spring.
The increase of 25 cents gives taxpayers in Stockholm a rate of approximately $14.03 per $1,000 of assessed property value.
