HARTSVILLE, S.C. – Coker College head women's soccer coach Dan Muns is pleased to announce the addition of two new players for the fall of 2011. A pair of twin sisters, Carrie and Tina Stokes will don Cobra jerseys starting in August.
The duo comes to Coker from Camden, S.C. where they were standout players at Camden High School. Carrie, a defender, is a three-time All-Region and two-time Defensive Player of the Year selection, while Tina, a forward, is a three-time Region Player of the Year and Offensive Player of the Year selection.
According to Coach Muns, Carrie is an anchor type defender who has the ability to play anywhere on the backline. "She reads the game very well and does a great job of making things predictable for her teammates," added Muns. "Her determination in not allowing opposing players to get behind her will make a strong case for earning a starting spot this fall."
On the other side of the field Tina is expected to make an impact right away in an attacking role. "Tina has a nose for the goal and will immediately make us more threatening in our new attacking rhythms," said Muns. "Like her sister she is a very versatile player, she brings an appreciation for defending the pitch to the offense."
The Cobra women will open up their 2011 campaign under the direction of first year Head Coach Muns on September 1 at home against USC Aiken.

Erin Brockovich (UK - BD)
Benjamin Willcock takes a look at Julia Roberts' Academy Award winning film...
I find it hard to believe that it has been eight years since Julia Roberts delivered her Academy Award winning performance as Erin Brockovich. Eight long years—how time flies. I was first introduced to this film via a good friend of mine. He handed his copy to me not long after the DVD went on sale, and encouraged me (with some force) to watch it.
But you know how it is sometimes; you glance at the cover, the title and finally the people who star in it, and give off a little shrug that tells the person offering it to you only too plainly that you're not interested. I seldom shun films that people recommend to me but at that time I really couldn't be bothered to give it the time of day. It was always on my 'to watch' list, but it was a title that probably came nearer the bottom of that list.
All I can say is that I'm glad I have persistent friends. To say I fell in love with this film would be something of an understatement. Perhaps it's the stellar performances by Julia Roberts and Albert Finney, or maybe Steven Soderbergh's masterful direction, or just the fact that it is based on real-life events, I really can't pin the film's overwhelming success on any one of its many excellent attributes.
It's one of those films where every part plays an equally large role. Without one, the film would not succeed. Bring them all together, and you have something very special. But it all starts at the root, the story. Erin's struggle to balance her low-paying job, her child and her love interest is something we all can associate with. She's your everyday, hard-working slave to society and you'll see something of yourself in her character.
But as we see her go from this sort of everyday lifestyle, struggling to keep the plates spinning, all the way to the upper echelons of the law machine as she takes on an entire company, it certainly gives you that shot of adrenaline and inspiration. Her compassion for the sick who have been the unknowing victims of corporate greed and foul play is admirable, selfless and touchingly human.
She's almost like a tireless nurse in her desire to help the helpless. She doesn't have to do anything, she could merely get on with her own life and deal with her own problems, but she chooses to make a difference that'll mean the world to a small group of people. It almost makes you wish there were more Erin Brockovich's in the world, and that is really the underlining message of the film—to make us realise there's good in the world, even if we seldom see it.
This is a truly heart-warming film, and the fact that it is based on a true story makes it even more meaningful to the viewer. You feel for Erin's cause, you want nothing more than to see her succeed and Julia Roberts brings her to life with a passion and determination rarely seen on-screen. This was, and still is, her greatest performance. Erin Brockovich is a masterful work of cinema, and one that, to me, has climbed to near enough the top of my list. This is a film everyone should own.
The cinematography used in this film is excellent, employing a kind of rustic-amber colour palette and largely stationary shots with little to no movement. The high definition transfer does a great job of preserving the film's original interpretation. The colours look stunning, and while there is an ample amount of film grain it never gets in the way of an otherwise flawless transfer. Some shots do look a little blurry compared to the majority, but these are so far apart that it never feels inconsistent. Black levels are impressive, but they don't reach reference-level quality by any means. In all this is a very solid transfer that looks sharp, clean and well-rounded. And yes, it is the best you will ever see this film. It might not be a substantial jump over the DVD, but it's definitely enough to justify the asking price.
The only option you have on this disc is a Dolby TrueHD 5.1 track, but fear not, it sounds excellent. While not an action or adventure film rife with explosions, complex sound effects or a bombastic soundtrack, Erin Brockovich still has enough punch and clarity to make full use of your home theatre. Dialogue, I am pleased to report, is superb. Good job, seen as the whole film is practically nothing but dialogue. The gentle, sometimes springy score by Thomas Newman also gets the royal treatment. Frankly, I doubt this film could ever sound better. The audio engineers have done a fantastic job on this disc.
Disappointingly there're only three features on this disc, starting with 'The Making of Erin Brockovich' which is a fifteen minute behind the scenes look at the production of the film. Again, it's one of those glossed over, hyper-thin extras that you'll only ever watch once. That doesn't mean it's not good, but I'd hardly call it a genuine 'making of' when you spend so little time with the production staff. What this disc really needed was a full-blown commentary, but alas there isn't one.
Next up is 'Personality Profile: The Real Erin Brockovich', which is a four minute account of the woman herself. Again, there's not much here, but it's good while it lasts. Finally, there's a 'Deleted Scenes' reel, which lasts roughly thirty minutes. Quite a meaty extra, but some of the scenes are quite stagnant and were rightly chopped from the film. Still, if you would like more insight into the film and some of the characters then most of them make for pretty decent viewing.
Erin Brockovich is a classic, to say the least. If you don't feel even the slightest bit of compassion for her, or you don't feel an overpowering sense of elation when she overcomes her plight, then you really mustn't have a heart. Though a feel-good, heart-warming film, you'll not see a great deal of cushy Hollywood sentimentality here; you can just appreciate it for the great work that it is.
The Blu-ray itself is great, and though sadly lacking in extra features, the high definition transfer and Dolby TrueHD audio more than make up for it. This is a pretty solid disc, and one I would recommend to those who owned the original DVD. For newcomers, this is a great place to start. Just be aware that a special edition or some other kind of double-dip will likely crop up at some point in the near future.
* Note: The above images are taken from the Blu-ray release and resized for the page.
Review by Benjamin Willcock
This is a great film and really shows how talented Julia Roberts is.
Is it really not coming until the 31/12? I head of picking up the Universal USA HD-DVD as I heard a Sony BD was coming.
Which has the same extras but only DD+
p.s - Even Aaron Eckhart's character is handled warmly, instead of the usual useless boyfriend.

Worth noting, perhaps, is that from what I know on standard-def those deleted scenes come with Soderbergh audio commentary.

Chris, are there any other BD's floating around that don't have an official release date, or is this just a once off?
It's the only one I've had. All a bit odd really. I can't find any info on it at all, not on Sony's press site, their PR company's site or the usual retailers' sites. I even had to Photoshop that cover

Mark Mills cares passionately about community issues. He calls local officials and writes letters to the editor about everything from school spending to local tax rates. Yet he rarely votes. Currently, he's not even registered.
"To me, politicians have become so removed from the real world," says the middle-aged Mr. Mills, a computer technician with a PhD who lives in Denver. "Politics is just so ... political."
As the nation's politicians, parties, and press gear up for the first elections of the millennium, more and more Americans are dropping out of the conventional political process - even civic-minded people like Mills.
Indeed, while the United States often holds itself up as a model of democracy, it has chronically produced one of the lowest voter participation rates in the Western world since World War II. It hardly seems what the Founding Fathers had in mind 224 years ago when they set forth a blueprint for a new kind of representative government, one deriving "just powers from the consent of the governed."
Since 1960, when modern-day US presidential voting peaked at 63 percent, turnout has declined by 14 percent, to less than half the voting-age population. This November, it could drop even further. Experts have been grappling with the downward drift for years, but never more than now. Dozens of groups, from Harvard
University to the World Wrestling Federation, are devoting resources to understanding and, they hope, reversing the decline in voting.
"We have a crisis of the erosion of democracy at the grass roots," says Curtis Gans, director of the Committee for the Study of the American Electorate.
Walter Dean Burnham, another expert on voting, says the attitudes associated with low participation - the apathy, the anger, the negative views of government - may be even more dangerous than low turnout itself. In fact, he notes, studies show that people who do vote are just as cynical about politics as people who don't.
"You've got all this surging just below the surface, even at a time when the context - peace and prosperity - is so favorable," says Mr. Burnham, a professor at the University of Texas at Austin.
Still, many people, like Mills, are finding new ways to participate in politics - just not at the ballot box. So, at the start of a new century, the question looms: Is American democracy broken, or just being transformed?
'Doers' who don't
Karl Stoecker of Miami, a lanky, blond magazine photographer in his late 50s, has one foot inside the mainstream and one foot outside. Every morning, he likes to go to the ocean to chat with the young surfer/philosopher crowd. He also has two daughters in public school - and says he's fine with paying taxes to support their education.
"But I won't help [politicians] push their system by voting," says Mr. Stoecker. They "cater to business interests, not to the public's."
Jill Davidson, a 30-something massage therapist and restaurant hostess in Miami, laughs when asked if she votes. "I don't know where to go register," she says, flush from a workout at the gym. "And reason No. 2, I'm just lazy."
Consciously or not, these two people represent a significant element in the American psyche: the notion that the right not to vote is as valid as the right to vote.
If they were from Australia or Belgium, where voting is mandatory, they would face a fine on the order of a parking ticket for a "no-show" on election day. In Australia's two most recent elections, turnout there broke 80 percent.
Stoecker and Ms. Davidson represent another important observation about nonvoters in America: Those over age 45 tend to be more angry and alienated, while those below 45 tend toward indifference.
It may be, observers say, that older nonvoters grew up with higher expectations of what government can accomplish, while the younger generation came of age when disillusionment with government was already in place. Since the 1960s, a steady stream of events - the Vietnam War, Watergate, Iran-contra, the Lewinsky matter - has reinforced cynicism about Washington.
Still, attitudes and behaviors of nonvoters vary widely: Some appear so intimidated by the complexity of the issues involved that they don't vote, almost out of respect for democracy. Others are absorbed by concerns at home and work, and don't see the need to become civically engaged.
And then there are those like Mills, the activist in Colorado, who feels he can have a greater impact through direct, local action, rather than handing his mandate for action to someone else by voting.
In a 1996 poll of 1,001 likely nonvoters, the Medill Journalism School at Northwestern University in Evanston, Ill., found that nearly one-third of nonvoters are so-called "doers" like Mills: They are active in their communities, pay attention to the news, and tend to be educated.
Still, they often don't vote because they "don't have time" or because "politicians spend too much time on petty things."
If such social connectedness and community involvement were rising overall, then the decline in voting might not be as troublesome to observers. But, in fact, the nation's "social capital" - involvement in community networks - has steadily eroded for the past two generations, according to Robert Putnam, author of "Bowling Alone."
Once-robust civic organizations, like the League of Women Voters, are struggling to remain active in some communities. Weekly church attendance - which correlates strongly with voting - is down. Newspaper reading and TV-news viewing, which also tie closely to voting, are declining significantly as each generation gives way to the next.
"Generational replacement," in fact, is the single biggest factor in the decline in turnout, says Mr. Putnam, a professor at Harvard University in Cambridge, Mass. As the World War II generation - known for high civic involvement - dies off and is replaced by their grandchildren, voting levels are going to continue to decline.
Young adults typically vote at lower levels than older, more settled adults. But fewer and fewer young people are converting into voters as they grow older.
Putnam himself places the largest share of blame on television: Since 1984, household viewing has averaged more than seven hours a day. "It's really quite lethal to civic engagement," he says. "And I'm not talking about watching 'The NewsHour.' "
Dinner-table index
Dan Bryan, a judge from Auburn, Neb., stands at the foot of the Jefferson Memorial in Washington and quietly reads the inscriptions on the wall.
"I always vote," says Judge Bryan. "Voting is a way of memorializing them," he adds, gesturing toward the statue of the author of the Declaration of Independence and the third president.
He lobbies his three children to vote, too, even though they exhibit the usual characteristics that weigh against voting among young adults - such as being away at school or simply on the move.
Daughter Colleen, an undergrad at Loyola University in Chicago, confirms that she does indeed vote. Usually. She missed the Nebraska primary, even though dad had sent her an absentee ballot. "I didn't know any of the issues," she admits.
Behaviors learned from our first teachers - parents - are perhaps the most deeply instilled. But as families get busier and spend less leisure time together, including at dinner, that becomes less true. In some families, dedication to voting may be a casualty.
Another factor, alluded to by Ms. Bryan, is the amount of work it takes to cast an informed vote. As initiatives and referenda proliferate, voters joke that they need to enroll in graduate school to understand all the issues. In California, for example, this year's voters' guide explaining ballot measures is a Michener-esque 74 pages long.
Beyond the explosion in initiatives - some of which involve hot topics and actually drive up turnout - Americans are asked to vote far too often, analysts say. Between primary and general elections, from president down to dog-catcher, voters can end up going to the polls four times a year.
"We have this system that's gotten more and more complicated and is asking more and more of citizens," says Martin Wattenberg, a political scientist at the University of California at Irvine. "Basically, people don't want to have this much control."
Even many Americans who try to vote regularly say the political system isn't working. "I think the system's sick," says Ken Kozol, an electrical engineer from Long Grove, Iowa, who nevertheless votes "as much as I can."
Mr. Kozol blames the dual party system, for one thing, saying he'd "sure like more diversity" among candidates. His wife, Sandy, who home-schools daughters Amy and Lara, adds, "You pick the top two candidates, and that's all you hear about, and then you're sick of hearing about them."
But for those Americans who vote less often than the Kozols, overexposure of the major-party candidates isn't the problem. It may be too little exposure. In recent years, the parties have used increasingly sophisticated technology to pinpoint where "their" voters are, and target them, to the exclusion of non- or sometime-voters, who don't get the phone calls, e-mails, and regular mail that drive up turnout.
In other words, parties and candidates are not in the business of producing large turnouts. The key, for them, is to get more votes than the other guy, not to promote the lofty goal of greater democratic involvement.
Many nonvoters also point to the explosion of money in politics as a reason for staying away. Rick Romero, a construction worker and father of three from Denver, says he feels his vote doesn't count: Those who get into office are simply the ones with the biggest "war chests."
Likewise, poll after poll shows that the public intensely dislikes negative campaigning. Yet negative races often attract big turnouts - usually because they're closely contested. And in races where the most money is spent, turnout is highest, because they also tend to be the tightest battles.
Another player that takes some blame for declining turnout is the media, which tend to focus on campaign tactics and brawls rather than issues. The "civic journalism" movement, an effort to report news in a way that is more responsive to a community's needs, was launched in the early 1990s, but with mixed results.
Ultimately, though, it may be candidates themselves who can spur greater interest in voting. When John McCain, the Republican senator from Arizona, captivated the nation with his drive for the GOP presidential nomination, it was his air of straight-shooting "authenticity" that brought some nonvoters into the "small d" democratic fold.
What Mr. McCain's candidacy showed is that, when people feel inspired, they will turn out. In this year's New Hampshire primary, which featured hot races in both major parties, voter turnout topped 80 percent.
It's not all bad
Declining turnout has become the poster child for the view that the American political system is in distress - or, at least, has lost the faith of the people.
But, in fact, the two phenomena may be unrelated, says Ruy Teixeira, author of two books on voter turnout. Turnout now is not catastrophically lower than it was in 1960 - 63 percent - when government was viewed as more responsive, he says.
He also notes that turnout in most other major democracies has been dropping as well. Switzerland, the only country in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development with lower turnout than the US, has declined by 39 percentage points since the 1950s. Only two countries have seen an increase: Denmark and Sweden.
To some, low turnout is a sign of satisfaction with government. Indeed, turnout in the US spiked up to 55 percent in 1992, when voters were unhappy with the state of the economy. But the low-turnout-equals-satisfaction argument fails to acknowledge the overwhelming survey evidence of public cynicism and unhappiness with government. In fact, it is older Americans - those with the highest turnout - who are most satisfied with government.
Still, many experts predict turnout this fall could be slightly higher than it was in 1996, when the nation approved of President Clinton's job performance and Republican nominee Bob Dole looked weak. This time around, the race is expected to be one of the closest in the post-WWII era, which could add to turnout.
Weighing against that is growing public sentiment that Washington just isn't as important as it used to be. Betsy Siegel, a wardrobe stylist for TV commercials in Miami, never voted in a presidential election until recently. Yet her real interest remains local issues - the neighborhood park, Christmas lunches for needy children.
"I don't know enough about Congress," she says. "I don't know how much they really do. And I think the president is more or less a symbol."

Ringworm is a fungal infection of the skin. Despite its name, it has nothing at all to do with worms. The fungal infection may appear on the skin, nails, hands, feet, or scalp.
© Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Ringworm is caused by microscopic skin fungi that live on the outer layer of the skin. You can get ringworm from direct skin-to-skin contact with infected people or pets. It is also transmitted by sharing hats and personal hair grooming items, and through contact with locker room floors, shower stalls, seats, or clothing used by an infected person.
Ringworm is more common in children 12 years of age or younger.
Factors that may increase your chances of ringworm:
When ringworm appears on the skin, it makes circular, reddish patches with raised borders. Eventually, the patches grow larger, and the centers of the patches turn clear, giving a ring-like appearance.
Symptoms of ringworm on other parts of the body vary, for example:
Ringworm symptoms on the body usually appear 4-10 days after exposure. Scalp symptoms will appear in 10-14 days.
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A skin examination will be done. Ringworm is often easily diagnosed by appearance. However, symptoms may be similar to other conditions. A sample of the affected area may be taken for testing.
Treatment can be taken by mouth or applied to the skin:
This type of treatment is used for ringworm of the skin or body. It includes antifungal creams and powders. It usually takes at least 2 weeks for the ringworm to clear. After ringworm clears, treatment is usually continued for at least 2 more weeks.
For ringworm involving the body, hands, or feet, nonprescription treatment is highly effective.
Some medications are more effective than others.
This type of treatment is used for ringworm of the nails and scalp. Early treatment for scalp ringworm is important to prevent permanent hair loss. A culture or other test may be given to get an accurate diagnosis before beginning this kind of treatment. Prescription pills are given for:
If you developed ringworm from your pet, your pet should be treated as well. Check with your pet's veterinarian for treatment procedures.

Daisy Johnson, Eden Fesi, Garabed Bashur, Adam Brashear, Julia Carpenter, Navid Hashim, Amadeus Cho, Walter Newell, Sebastian Druid
(Quake, Manifold, Black Box, Blue Marvel, Madame Web, Arabian Knight, Mastermind Excello, Stingray, Druid II)
[Reveal] Spoiler: Click to Expand
Daisy Johnson, a.k.a. "Quake" is more of a junior Nick Fury than "Nick Fury Jr." She worked with him and a handful of heroes during Fury's Secret War and quickly moved up the ranks of SHIELD. Aside from Fury & Black Widow, she's the only known agent with Level 10 clearance. She was one of Fury's "Secret Warriors" when Fury went underground and was even an Avenger for a little while.
Like Fury & Tony Stark, she's been the leader of SHIELD. Like Stark, she's had to erase some of her own memories. Like Fury, she's no longer in charge of SHIELD. In "Secret Avengers", she's been "indefinitely suspended" over her handling of a specific situation (attempted assassination of a foreign power). She knows something big's coming. But she's not going to let a suspension stop her.
Which is where our story begins....
Her first stop once she's on the run? Eden Fesi, a.k.a Manifold. He's an Avenger and, more importantly, he's a teleporter with unlimited potential. They were Secret Warriors together, she looked after him when he fell into a coma and, in turn, he helped her during that memory erasing ordeal.
From there, their next stop is India to pick up her next recruit, a technopath called Black Box. Maimed by Sabretooth, Bashur was believed deceased until his recent encounters with Deadpool. He's been on both sides of the law and never too far from SHIELD observers/bagmen. They need him as tech support for Johnson and to help contact their next recruit... Blue Marvel!
Blue Marvel has been around the Marvel Universe since the 60's, but was forced into retirement and now focuses mainly on his research. Johnson wants to recruit him, not only for the power that he brings to the table (even if he only participates in the occasional mission), not only for the use of his secret underwater base in the Mariana Trench but also for assistance with the next recruit, the psychic who initially warned former Director Johnson of the impending doom... Madame Web!
Julia Carpenter "inherited" the precognative abilities of the former Madame Web upon her death. Even though she's now blind, she still has her Spider-Woman powers and can handle herself in a fight. She foresaw an upcoming crisis and, knowing that Spider-Man wasn't the one to go to for this problem, she contacted the person she saw in her visions. She's been contacting the director for months now, helping Johnson understand the threat that's on the horizon and giving her time to plan.
While Carpenter has limited knowledge of the future, she had no idea Johnson's next step was to recruit the Arabian Knight. When SHIELD compromised, Johnson has had to look outside for help. Hashim has a uniform made from an unravelled magic carpet that allows him to fly, a magic sword and a great deal of military knowledge. And he surprisingly gets along well with Johnson's next recruit.... Amadeus Cho!
Cho, often considered "the seventh smartest person in the world", is capable of completing complex equations in the blink of an eye. While Black Box is capable of hacking into and/or communicating with computer systems, Cho can calculate the necessary equations to meet their goals. He's known for being quite dedicated if he believes in a cause. Like the time he hacked the SHIELD Helicarrier. While he's used Pym's helmet in the past and currently relies on a variety of BannerTech devices, he's never gone the full armor route, unlike... Stingray!
Walter Newell, a.k.a. Stingray, is an accomplished oceanographer. He also wears the Stingray armor, which has helped him both in ocean exploration and his duties as an Avenger. He sided with Captain America against the SHRA, was later pardoned and taught at Camp Hammond. He's not one of Johnson's initial recruits, as he was conferring with Brashear on a unrelated matter (or IS it unrelated), but was quickly asked to join.
Sebastian Druid, the son of former Avenger Anthony Druid, is another former teammate of Daisy Johnson. He's a wizard-in-training who has already demonstrated a variety of abilities, such as the creation of a magic bullet for a very specific purpose, the ability to corrode metal almost instantaneously and the ability to create forcefields. He's been training with John Garrett, an associate of Nick Fury, and is an accomplished pilot and sniper.

I love the mug because of the photo, the color I chose and the mug size. The only negatives are that while I knew the photo was small, it's a little too narrow. I have a Marilyn mug that I did not buy online, and it spans the entire mug as two copycat photos. Also, the inside of the mug is not smooth as most mugs are. Otherwise, it's fine, as is its price.
It pays to be in the lead during the summer meet at Saratoga Race Course.

You really can dance the blues away, something actress Angela Trimbur definitely believes: In her "Dance Like Nobody's Watching" YouTube videos, Trimbur films herself unabashedly busting a move in a series of public places -- the mall, a laundromat. And she looks pretty dang happy (as do many of the surprised onlookers).
Dance as a mood-booster isn't just a theory, though:
Studies have shown that dancing can significantly lower levels of stress hormones and depression.
Why? Well, there are a few key factors -- endorphins play a part, and the focus required to dance is thought to interrupt negative thought patterns. Plus there's the "letting go" aspect ... the loss of self-consciousness and inhibition. Like nobody's watching.
I guess it's not surprising that the original "dance like nobody's watching" quote is actually a line from a poem by author William W. Purkey, which essentially reads like a recipe for life-long happiness:
"You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching,
Love like you'll never be hurt,
Sing like there's nobody listening,
And live like it's heaven on earth."
Watch this video and tell me ...
Does Angela Trimbur look depressed to you?
Do you ever dance like nobody's watching? Does it make you happy?

For Immediate Release:
January 13, 2014
Nicole Galloway
(573) 303-1471
COLUMBIA – Boone County Treasurer Nicole Galloway announced today she returned a record $14,876 worth of unclaimed property in 2013. The record amount was returned from 20 accounts through her online unclaimed property system, the only one of its kind for a Missouri county.
The returns represent a $3,000 increase over 2012, with individual return amounts ranging from $35 to $5,400.
"Unclaimed property returns were strong in 2013 because we have the only county-based online return portal in Missouri, and that makes the process much easier," Treasurer Galloway said. "Since taking office and launching this online system, nearly $28,000 has been returned directly to citizens."
About $68,000 worth of unclaimed property remains in more than 3,000 accounts. The Unclaimed Property Database is updated in real time, as checks continuously become unclaimed property.
Unclaimed property includes checks issued by the county that remain uncashed. Examples include outstanding refund checks written to citizens or checks to vendors for services. Checks become unclaimed property if they are outstanding for 180 or more days. After being held for three years by Treasurer Galloway, unclaimed property is required by state statute to be turned over to the state where it is held forever until claimed.
"I make every effort to return unclaimed property in the three years I hold it," Treasure Galloway said. "It is simpler to return the money to the original owner while I hold it than after it is turned over the state. It is less likely that the citizen has moved or passed away, making it easier to verify the claimant is the original owner of the money."
Citizens may search and file claims 24 hours a day, seven days a week at www.ShowMeBoone.com/Treasurer. Anyone with questions may call (573) 886-4365 or email email@example.com.

Maxloader Overload Spring Support Systems 201228
- Additional Support: The Maxloader Spring Support Systems provides additional spring support to your truck or SUV. The Maxloader was designed to assist the factory leaf springs when they compress down onto the helper springs, eliminating pre-tensioning and a constantly stiff ride.
- Better Handling/ Control: The Maxloader's design allows for better handling and control while carrying heavy loads. This spring system was designed to provide factory handling and control regardless of what size load your vehicle is carrying. (Always stay within your vehicle's rated GVW load limits.)
- Less Sway: The full length design of the Maxloader System allows it to act like an anti-sway bar. It helps prevent rolling and swaying characteristics that often occur when a vehicle becomes too overloaded for the factory suspension.
- Less Maintenance: The Maxloader Systems require less maintenance than any other spring support system out there. There are no additional clamps, bushings, or air lines to worry about. The Maxloader also helps reduce stress and wear on your vehicles drivetrain and suspension components.
- No Adjustments: The Maxloader Spring System never requires tuning or adjustments. Once the spring system is installed and securely fastened, users will find there is virtually nothing to adjust or wear out.
- Level Loads: Maintain a factory ride height and level loads with a Maxloader System. The rear of the vehicle will sit level, eliminating front end lift and un-natural steering tendencies.
- Factory Ride: The Maxloader Springs allow your vehicle to maintain a factory ride. While empty, only the factory springs will be working, ensuring a plush and comfortable ride. When the vehicle is loaded, the Maxloader springs begin to interact with the factory springs to provide additional support and level suspension travel.
- Easy Installation: The Maxloader easily installs between your factory leaf springs and axle. It works with your factory spring pad pins and mounting brackets with no additional modifications or drilling. Simply install the longer U-bolts and you have a factory looking suspension with factory ride characteristics.
- Lifetime Warranty: All Maxloader Spring Supports are backed by a LIFETIME WARRANTY. There are no wearing parts and the polyurethane bushings provide long life, less noise, and better shock load dampening.
Made in the USA from US materials! The engineers at Maxloader believe that the customer does not have the time nor the money to invest in a spring system that will eventually fail. To overcome this, the Maxloader Spring Support System was introduced as being both cost effective and safe for the user. The Maxloader System is easy to install, safe for all operations, and will never wear out.
The Maxloader installs between the axle and your factory leaf springs. Unlike other systems that mount above the leaf spring and always work against the factory springs, the Maxloader Spring Supports only provide additional support when the factory springs are loaded. This allows for a plush, factory ride during daily commutes, while providing increased support and stability when hauling and/or towing heavy loads. The below the spring mount is designed to only engage when needed and eliminates any pre-tensioning allowing for a factory ride empty or full.
The Maxloader springs are as long as your factory leaf springs, providing support to the factory leafs at three key points; both spring ends and in the center mounting location. This ensures an evenly distributed load and prevents fatiguing stress that other systems exhibit and eventually cause broken leaf springs. This unique design is also very effective at eliminating swaying and rolling characteristics, especially in corners.
Installation is easy and and can be quickly accomplished with only a few bolts; no clamps, drilling, or air system components. The end result of a Maxloader Spring Support System is a vehicle that rides smoother and more level, with evenly distributed weight resulting in less strain to the drivetrain and suspension components. All Maxloader Systems are backed by a Lifetime Warranty.
Limited Lifetime Warranty
The Maxloader Spring Support System is backed by a limited lifetime warranty against defects in either materials or workmanship.
InstallationThis product offers an easy, at home no drill installation. The installation manual is clear cut and easy to read. For additional information, please see the installation manual below. You may also call us toll free at 1-866-309-1907 or 701-253-5906.

State police are seeking a suspected crack cocaine dealer after they say a search of his home in Butler turned up drugs and a rifle.
Bryan Andrew Perri, 28, is wanted on a felony arrest warrant that police vice officers obtained Tuesday.
Perri earlier this year became the target of a drug trafficking investigation. Police said they learned that he was selling crack cocaine from his home on the 100 block of Mercer Street.
They also believed he had guns in his house. Already a felon, the defendant is prohibited from possessing firearms.
During the investigation, according to court documents, a police informant in August bought crack at Perri's house as part of a controlled drug buy.

Valero Energy Corporation (www.valero.com) yesterday reported its first quarter 2009 net income of $309 million, or $.59 per share.
Valero, which entered the ethanol business by agreeing to buy seven ethanol plants from VeraSun Energy Corporation on April 1, closed on six of the plants and one development site this month and expects to close on the last plant soon.
In an earnings conference call yesterday, Bill Klesse, Valero's chairman of the board and CEO, said that acquiring VeraSun's assets at a time of low ethanol margins "enabled us to pay only 30% of replacement cost for some of the industry's best ethanol plants." Valero selected the plants for their size and access to local feedstocks.
The acquisitions will allow Valero to produce 780 million gallons of ethanol annually, or about 50,000 gallons of ethanol per day. Kleese said that the company expects ethanol demand to grow under the federal mandate and to catch up with production capacity by 2010.

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- The Senate on Thursday approved aid to Ukraine and sanctions against Russia. The Senate's bill grants $1 billion in loan guarantees to Ukraine and would codify U.S. sanctions already imposed on Russian officials for Russia's takeover of Crimea. House lawmakers are working on a separate bill that would expand sanctions, but the differences between the bills are expected to be quickly ironed out. The Senate bill was approved on a voice vote. Earlier this week, Senate Democrats dropped from the bill reforms to the International Monetary Fund that House Republicans opposed.

Imagine musical performances by 130 performers taking place at 25 different locations up and down one 18-mile stretch of road in one weekend -- and several of those performers enjoy national acclaim.
This will be reality when the 30A Songwriter's Festival returns for the fourth time Jan. 18-20.
Representing diverse styles ranging from folk and country to rock and blues, the 2013 line-up is touting headliners Lucinda Williams, Nanci Griffith, Shawn Mullins, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Jeffrey Steele, Suzanne Vega and Fastball.
In addition, other recognizable names include The Shadowboxers, Joe Leathers, Kyle Jacobs, Gretchen Peters, Donnie Sundal and Boukou Groove, Geoff McBride, Daphne Willis, Reed Waddle, Forrest Williams, Mike Whitty, Lyle LaMonica, Dannica Lowery, Kelsey Anna, Ben Friedman, Drew Tillman, The Owsley Brothers, Chris Alvarado, and Mojo Rising. In all, the festival will feature 200 musical performances by these artists and more.
As of press time, the final schedule wasn�t set, but venues will range from listening rooms to spacious outdoor amphitheaters, with each location offering its unique individual vibe, ambiance, and musically-inspired stage artwork.
Artwork created by more than a dozen artists over the past four years will be featured as backdrops to most of the stages. The location of each backdrop is outlined in the official program guide. Artists who volunteered their service include folk artist Alan Moore, Allison Wickey, Andy Saczinsky, Bailey Miller, Billie Gaffrey, Bryan Hand, Henry Nooe, Justin Gaffrey, Justin Lyons, Mallory Page, Michael McCarty, Raquel Morgan and Russell Beans. Several of the artists will be featured on festival merchandise this year, including 2013 Visit South Walton Artist of the Year Saczynski and former Artists of the Year Wickey and McCarty.
The festive weekend kicks off Jan. 16 with a private in-the-round mini-concert by renowned stars Mary Chapin Carpenter and Emily Saliers of the Indigo Girls for the members of event sponsor Walton County Cultural Arts Alliance.
The official public kick-off party will be from 4-6 p.m. at Pandora's in Grayton on Friday with music in both rooms.
"That's when people will gather and plot their strategy for the weekend," said Russell Carter, event producer and chair, and Cultural Arts Alliance board member.
Throughout the weekend performances will take place on stages ranging from The Vue on the west end to Rosemary Beach on the east and several locales in between.
Rosemary Beach will host three venues: Rosemary Beach Town Hall, the Summer Kitchen, and Amavida Coffee House.
There will also be performances at Seaside, WaterColor, Gulf Place, Grayton, and Alys Beach. New venues include 723 Whiskey Bravo in Seagrove and Bentley�s in Seacrest.
WaterColor Inn & Resort will serve once again as the Festival headquarters.
The two largest outdoor venues will be Sunday afternoon at the Seaside and Gulf Place Amphitheaters, closing out the festival with headliners Lucinda Williams and Nanci Griffith sharing the Seaside stage and Suzanne Vega and Mary Chapin Carpenter sharing the Gulf Place stage.
The schedule of other performances is available on the website www.30asongwritersfestival.com.
"The 30A Songwriters Festival has quickly gained a reputation among musicians as a forum for true songwriters to perform their self-penned songs as well as established performers to showcase their original compositions," said Carter. "We book artists with diverse musical styles. Our emphasis is the art of the song.�
"South Walton celebrates a thriving arts community, and we are proud to showcase our local talent alongside nationally-acclaimed songwriters and up-and-coming artists to raise funds and awareness for arts education initiatives that benefit the children of Walton County," said Cultural Arts Alliance Executive Director Jennifer Steele.
All net proceeds from the festival benefit CAA's programs.
Carter is an event lawyer and manager and represents many of the artists. He volunteered at the event its first year with booking of artists and came on the board the second year.
That first year, there were 50 to 60 artists and proved to be hugely popular. Carter said the decision was made then to build the event up and make it something �big and wonderful.�
The number of artists participating is now at 130 for this year and the number of tickets and passes issued were cut off at 3,000 last year and will be again this year, he said. And that cut-off number is expected to be reached by the time the box office opens Jan. 16. As a result, day passes will only be available if weekend tickets have not sold out.
Weekend passes are $180, and there are no VIPs. If available, day passes will be $70.
No pets or coolers are allowed at any venue.
Weekend passes are available online at www.30asongwritersfestival.com, at Central Square Records in Seaside, or by calling the CAA at 622-5970.
"The immediate impact on the economy created by the 30A Songwriters Festival is the infusion of business activity resulting from thousands of customers and fans descending on 30A for a long weekend in January which prior to the creation of the festival was dead," said Carter. "We employ many people and businesses open their doors and thrive all week. Over the long term, the notion of this being a summer resort erodes and visitors and second-home owners begin to view 30A as a place to visit and enjoy year round.�

MSU's Wilson looks to sure up DL depth
The only likely starter Mississippi State coach Chris Wilson says he can be confident about right now is Pernell McPhee.
That's not to say the Bulldogs defensive line coach doesn't have options.
"I've got right now seven guys and I like to travel with eight during the season but we'll see how that last guy develops," Wilson said.
Last spring Wilson eloquently summed up what Friday's split-squad session signified as the team added shoulder pads to the practice equation for the first time this preseason.
"You're out of pajamas and now you see who's really prepared to put their face on people and be physical," Wilson said.
McPhee, an all-conference second-team selection, obviously stands out in a group looking to replace two starters but only totaled 19 sacks as a team in 2009.
The defensive line, which is supposed to be a much more experienced and productive unit from the '09 results, looks to currently be two-deep at every position but McPhee's left end position with local red-shirt freshman Johnathan McKenzie from Starkville Academy and sophomore Trevor Stigers vying for that spot. Stigers suffered a left knee injury that MSU officials said would be evaluated today as he left practice hobbling with an ice wrap on the knee.
On the right hand side of McPhee is six guys fighting for the two inside tackle positions and the opposite rush end where Wilson feels is too early to announce who'll start the season opener Sept. 4 against Memphis.
"You've got Nick Bell and Sean Ferguson competing for one position," Wilson said. "To be quite honest, you've got Fletcher Cox and Devin Jones fighting at the three (nose tackle) technique. Josh Boyd is being pushed by James Carmon which is a plus."
Carmon is a 330-pound defensive tackle that his head coach has called publicly "one of the biggest human beings I've ever seen in my life" and is looking to translate his junior college All-American at Gulf Coast Community College into Southeastern Conference action.
"We're really trying to prove a point to the SEC and the whole world that we can compete with the best," Carmon said. "I think that's what we're going to do."
Friday's split-squad workout saw the defensive line starting candidates split between the afternoon and evening sessions giving both set of players plenty of repetitions.
Mullen, who was highly critical of the energy level of the first practice mostly consisting of the starters and newcomers, talked Friday afternoon about the heat being a distraction that he didn't see as much out of the players Tuesday in similar conditions.
"We got to be better and coming out here, warm day and you get a little adversity out there, this is what it is," Mullen said. "You going to find out what type of team you have during a little adversity like this."
The wild card on the depth chart could be Yazoo City's Kaleb Eulls as a traditional 4-3 defensive end with his hand in the ground and also showcasing him as a stand-up pass rusher in a seven or eight-man box front.
"We move him around and that's the great thing about him," Wilson said. "He's at about 276 pounds (but) we'd like to get him down to about 265 and hold while still keeping his athleticism."
Eulls was a four-star recruit and picked the Bulldogs after receiving offers from Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana State and Ole Miss. Eulls made headlines off the field in a positive way when he and his three younger sisters were the main students involved in saving the lives of 22 passengers on a school bus when a 14-year old female student boarded the bus armed with a .380 semi-automatic handgun threatening to shoot and ordering the bus driver to pull over.
According to reports, Eulls then opened up the emergency door located in the back and began evacuating as many students as he could from the rear of the bus while trying to reason with the armed female.
Mullen confirmed the whole team will practice Saturday at the South Farm fields until Aug. 17 and had moved the 105 players on the roster into a team hotel Friday night.

My director approached me the other day and said the local elementary school had lost it's native speaking teacher and was having trouble finding a new one since it's out in the boonies. They have asked if my hagwon would farm me out to them to teach their kindi class in the morning. I would be paid seperatlely for this work and am mildly interested. My immediate response was to point out that my E-2 does not permit this but they just kinda laughed and said sure, but you'll never get caught. Of course they balked when I said, OK if you'll agree to pay the fine if I do get caught. My question is this. Is there a way to do this legally? Can my existing E-2 be amended to permit teaching legally in 2 locations or can the elementary school arrange for a seperate visa? Is there a way to do it and remain in compliance with those wonderfully fair and impartial Korean immigration laws? Any help would be much appreciated.

Immigration will stamp your passport and you are then legally able to work at the second school. Your employer probably doesen't want to pay the fee.
