The following Perspective is an expression of opinion by the Editorial Board at WIS, and presented by General Manager Donita Todd.
Pseudoephedrine is a common nasal decongestant used in several allergy medicines, but it's also a key ingredient used to make methamphetamine. Meth labs in our state seem to be daily news with SLED reporting nearly a 200% increase since 2007.
While law enforcement becomes more aware of how to find and dismantle these labs, it seems little is being done to prevent would-be meth cooks from making the drug in the first place. Most of the ingredients needed to make meth can be bought easily at any drug store. Only one of those ingredients- allergy medicine containing Pseudoephedrine- is kept behind the counter. But even that isn't keeping it out of the hands of meth cooks.
Only two states in the nation, Oregon and Mississippi, have taken the proactive approach of making drugs with Pseudoephedrine available by prescription only, and those states report a 70% reduction in the number of meth labs. Similar legislation is stalled here in South Carolina where the bill faces opposition from pharmaceutical lobbyists who argue that the general public shouldn't be punished for the crimes of a few.
It may be an inconvenience to get a prescription for Sudafed or Claritin from your doctor, but consider the damage meth does and the costs related to treating and policing that damage. Consider whether that inconvenience is really more important than preserving the safety of our children, neighborhoods, and tax dollars.
That's my perspective. Please share yours.

Fences Piano Lesson
"Fences" and "The Piano Lesson" are two extraordinary works created by August Wilson. Throughout these two plays there is a constant struggle while at the same time these stories revolve around a similar theme or symbol. In "Fences", the idea of building the "fence" is very similar to the "piano" in "The Piano Lesson". August Wilson did not name his play, Fences, simply because the dramatic action depends strongly on the building of a fence in the Maxson's backyard. Rather, the characters lives change around the fence-building project which serves as both a literal and a figurative device, representing the relationships that bond and break in the arena of the backyard. The fact that Rose wants the fence built adds meaning to her character because she sees the fence as something positive and necessary. Bono observes that Rose wants the fence built to hold in her loved ones.
Bono also observes that to some people, fences keep people out and push people away. Bono indicates that Troy pushes Rose away from him by cheating on her. Troy's lack of commitment to finishing the fence parallels his lack of commitment in his marriage. The fence appears finished only in the final scene of the play, when Troy dies and the family reunites. The wholeness of the fence comes to mean the strength of the Maxson family and ironically the strength of the man who tore them apart, who also brings them together one more time, in death.
In "The Piano Lesson" by August Wilson, the central symbol of the play is the 137-year-old piano, an object that incarnates the family history. It takes on a number of meanings through the course of its life. A gift purchased through the exchange for slaves, it originally exemplifies the interchangeability of person and object under the system of slavery. This traffic in flesh reaffirms a white kinship network at the expense of black ones.
These two symbols in these plays have a very similar...

Learning to Learn – "Absorption"
In the second part of my Learning Skills blogs, I would like to focus in on the power of absorption in children. When children are absorbed, it means they have become so resilient to their surroundings that they become wholly engrossed in what they are doing, they are unaware of the passing of time, they are very difficult to distract and they are completely captured in the pleasure of being rapt and immersed in learning.
We tend to find younger children have a natural capability to be 'locked on to learning'. I look at our Nursery children here at Foremarke and observe our three year olds able to stay on a task for a good 20 minutes. Unaware of the world around them they are able to block out any distractions, submerge themselves in the art of 'being busy' and feed their learning by the strength of pure absorption.
Absorption is about being 'locked on to learning'. It is another of those innate capacities which, without awareness and encouragement, can diminish and weaken over time. It is not, however, a capacity that can easily be taught; neither can we coax or demand our young learners' absorption in whatever we may provide for their attention. What we can do is enable them to recognise what it feels like to be 'lost in learning' and to appreciate how this state of being helps the learning process. Our very young learners will have little trouble becoming absorbed in those things which they find interesting, enjoyable and exciting, it is the older children where distractions around them can become a barrier to absorption and so teachers see managing distractions as a key capacity in the process of building absorption in learning.
As teachers and also as parents, we need to begin the process of developing habits of concentration by raising awareness of what it actually means to be absorbed and what it feels like in practice. Do you remember those heady times of being absorbed in a good book? When messages didn't perpetually beep, when emails didn't need answering immediately or when notifications on Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat didn't break the equilibrium of immersion and silence? Distractions are everywhere now, and again it is up to us to provide the opportunities for total and complete enthrallment, fascination and wonder in their imaginations and the world of learning.

Day 85/
I happened to put a hummingbird feeder in my garden last week. Our previous feeder had broken due to the frigid winters over the past couple of years. I guess I was too lazy to bring the feeder in for the winter. We get quite a few hummingbirds in our area and they are always a delight to have around. In fact, I recall a hummingbird sipping water from my hose last year as I watered my plants! It danced in the mist for a good 30 seconds! Certainly, a once in a lifetime event for me.
I purchased some ready-made food for the hummingbirds (red concentrate) without reading the ingredients. I was saddened to see the mix of unnatural additives to the food. I will google some natural recipes and make sure my sweet little feathered friends have a wholesome meal - as close to the real food that they should be eating.

My first day's destination is Mammoth Caves Kentucky, which is 570 miles. This is where I'm to meet up with Tom and Dave who have traveled from Detroit and Virginia. I'm mostly on interstate highways across Illinois in order to put some quick miles on my tires. Stopping for fuel in Indiana, I embarrass myself by dropping my bike at the pump and having my left mirror snap off when it hits a bollard protecting the gas pump. A nice guy in a pick-up behind me helps me lift my overloaded bike back to vertical, but the damage is done.
As I pass through a small town on the Ohio River I come up on the "Bench of Knowledge" where thinkers and philosophers can stop and ponder cosmic matters, quantum physics, or just take a nice rest while watching the Ohio River meander past. I think the bench was made by Indians as there are several Indian Motorcycle posters there. A few hours later I stop for dinner at an Italian restaurant in Leitchfield, Kentucky. Then it's on south where I meet up with Tom and Dave at the Mammoth Caves campground.
Tom acquired a flat tire on his way down from Detroit and had it plugged, but since we had many miles left to go and he was pulling a trailer, we opted to make a detour to a motorcycle shop in Nashville. We called ahead, and when we got there they were, shall I say, less than customer oriented. Tom called ahead to another dealer in Birmingham who said they could get the tire replaced as soon as we got there. I was still in need of a new mirror, but they didn't have one, but they did have a bench grinder. After grinding the end of my snapped off mirror, I was able to Quicksteel epoxy it back into the mount on the handlebar and was good to go.
From the dealer we made a quick trip across town to the Barber Motorcycle Museum. This is where we met up with Blair who had ridden in from Georgia. If you haven't been to the museum before, I highly recommend it. They had my very first bike there, a 1972 Kawasaki S2 three cylinder two-stroke, as well as Dave's first bike, a Moto Parilla. The displays are fantastic and shouldn't be missed. A few miles farther south, we camped in Oak Mountain State Park where Tom prepared the first meal we had since the night before and a fine meal of beans and weenies it was.
After a long night with light rain I got up at 5:30 AM and had a nice warm shower and then we all packed our rain-soaked gear and headed towards our next stop, which was to be New Orleans. Birmingham's congested traffic mixed with steady showers isn't one of my favorite riding combinations. About 10:30 AM, soaked to the bone, we stopped at a Cracker Barrel in Tuscaloosa. We found a nice big table where we could spread out all our wet stuff, and they had to have someone come and mop up the small river of water that was beginning to encroach on the other patrons. After breakfast we sat in front watching the downpour and finally decided we couldn't get any wetter so we moved out. About 30 minutes later we were rewarded with just a few intermittent showers that finally subsided. Luckily the temperature got up to 89°F and we air-dried at 70 mph.
Getting close to New Orleans took us on I-12 West to Lake Pontchartrain where we picked up the Toll Causeway into the city to our next campsite at the KOA, which cost us what a hotel should be charging, $50. We caught a taxi downtown to the famous Bourbon Street where we had a fine dinner and several adult beverages. After dinner we walked down the street smoking a nice hand-rolled cigar and viewed things that no one should ever be subjected to, hoping that a partial lobotomy could remove some of the disturbing images from our brain.
The next morning, after a hot muggy night, found me with that feeling that some animal had somehow crawled into my mouth while I was asleep and burnt a pile of garbage in there. The first part of the trip had us on too many miles of Interstate Highway and now it was time to begin the back roads adventure. Taking Highways 90, 182, 35 and 82 sped us across southern Louisiana bayou country and through some interesting little towns. In this part of the country armadillo road kill is replaced by a pungent dead alligator aroma. We are just in time to catch the Cameron ferry and cross Sabine Lake into Texas at Port Arthur.
We are settling into somewhat of a routine where late in the day we decide where to camp and find a grocery store to stock up on what we want for supper. This night we camp in Sam Houston National Forest after running off some squatters who had occupied our camp site and called us "bikers." Dinner was chicken, corn on the cob, salad, beers and pop tarts for desert. Tom did have a small cooler on his trailer, but in order to keep weight down, we only bought what we needed for supper which normally was cooked over a small bag of match light charcoal.
A cold shower set the stage for a pleasant trip through Texas. Good roads through pine forests and tons of bicycles going somewhere. Not far and southwest of Austin, we make our way to Driftwood Texas to the famous Salt Lick BBQ. This place does so much business they even have their own dedicated turn lane off the highway. The food is wonderful, and my fingers have a renewed sticky grip ready for the continued westward trek on Hwy 290. As we near Luckenbach, Texas, the highway gets crowded with lots of Hog Iron. Stopping for fuel we find out there is the big Hill County Run Rally going on there, but we have many miles to go before we sleep. Arriving on Hwy 39 we find our speed dropping to about 40 mph, but this isn't a problem as this is a very twisty, scenic road that brings a big grin to our faces. At Leaky, Texas on Hwy 83 we pick up our beer and sausages for supper then travel south to Garner State Park to camp for the night.
Rolling thunder has me awake at 4:30 AM, although it never did rain. Our camping neighbors are up early serenading us with ear splitting hip-hop music as we break camp and prepare to leave. We travel further south on 83 to Uvalde where we pick up Hwy 90 west for a long trip across barren southern Texas. We pass a big billboard announcing themuseum of the Hanging Judge, Roy Bean near Langtry, Texas but continue on west without stopping. The weather has been pleasant and great for riding, and it is just starting to get into the 90s as we turn north on Hwy 118 at Alpine, Texas, elevation 4300 ft.
The route is scenic as it winds up to the highest point on Texas Highways at the top of Mount Locke where we stop at the McDonald Observatory and take a quick tour of the facilities, which informs us that this is one of ten locations of the Very Long Baseline Array radio telescope that stretches from Hawaii in the west all the way to St. Croix in the east. It is looking for radio signals from space. Just what we need--old reruns of alien broadcasts.
Dropping down from our 6791 foot peak gaining 10°F we catch I-10 west to Hwy 54 north at Kent only to be threatened by a red dirt devil blocking our path. It's then north on Hwy 54 through the edge of Guadalupe Mountains State Park and on to Whites City, New Mexico at the entrance to Carlsbad Caverns National Park. Years ago I had camped here and was chased by a skunk that apparently didn't want his picture taken. We should have stopped earlier to pick up our dinner supplies as there wasn't anything available here so we opted for dinner at a local restaurant.
It is 62°F while Dave's Jet Boil and Blair's Swedish alcohol fired mess kit stove make up some hot coffee while we pack up camp. Then it is 7 miles up the road to tour the caverns. The tour is pretty awesome and highly recommended. About 11:30 AM we finish up looking at all the stalactites and stalagmites and head north on Hwy 285 to Artesia then west on Hwy 82. I really wanted to go on north to Roswell and scout out some aliens, but it just wasn't going to happen. We had to drive through a few light cold showers and some sleet as we were in 4,000 to almost 9,000 foot altitude. It was 59°F when we stopped in Cloudcroft for lunch, and then made a quick stop for photos of the old cloud climbing railroad trestle just outside of town. Dropping 4300 feet in about 18 miles to Alamogordo warms us up to a pleasing 82°F. Hwy 70 west takes us on a quick tour of White Sands then on to Las Cruces where we picked up dinner at a local grocery store. We're getting smarter learning that out west just because there is a town on the map ahead doesn't necessarily mean there will be any services there. With our late start, Interstate 10 speeds us on westward and we arrive at Rockhound State Park just as the sun is setting creating a spectacular sunset as we look from our vantage point on the side of the mountain across the valley below and the mountains in the distance.
About 3:30 AM I've been awake for about an hour as high winds are severely buffeting my tent. The ground is rock and gravel so there was no way to get tent pegs in. Finally I just drop the tent poles and climb inside the collapsed and flapping tent. As the sun came up, the winds had died down, and the others wondered where I had gone until I climbed out of the pile of tent.
Back on the now long, straight Hwy 180 headed northwest with the temperatures in the 60's, we finally reach Silver City, New Mexico where the scenery and road gets much better. Continuing on we cross into Arizona and stop in Alpine for lunch where a couple of other bikers are dining. Upon leaving, one of them does an impressive near vertical wheelie as they head off opposite to our direction of travel. After a short road construction delay we are on our way staying on Hwy 180 until reaching Eagar and then taking a great scenic Hwy 260 to Payson. I'm beat and my hands are cramping as we pull into an overcast Sedona. It looks like rain and we haven't had a bath in a couple of days so we decide to spend the night in a hotel. I spent some time washing my clothes in the bath tub and charging all my electronic items batteries. Ahhhh! This is nice.
We only have 143 miles to go today to the Grand Canyon and we split into two groups. Tom and I take our time and head off on our own errands, while Blair and Dave tend to some oil changing and other tasks. Our route takes us out of Sedona and up through Oak Creek Canyon to Flagstaff where I eat way too much at the local IHOP. Stuffed as I am, we head north on Hwy 89 through Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument and the Wupatki National Monumentwhere we investigate some old Indian ruins. Hwy 64 takes us west into the South Rim of the Grand Canyon where we set up camp in the Desert View Campground and take a little walk over to a vista while waiting for Blair and Dave to arrive. One thing I am figuring out about camping is that in general, state parks have very nice campgrounds with showers and national parks have nice views but little else.

A leading investment firm that is located in Central London and Dubai is called Solo Capital. Their highly experienced experts have multitudes and years of high end consulting and proprietary trading. That is what they specialize in. They solely concentrate on trading and consulting, as well as sports consulting. Sanjay Shah is the chief executive operator, president and founder of Solo Capital. The highly reputable company has been conducting business for many years, and continues to build its client satisfaction.
As a Kenyan native, Sanjay Shah migrated to Central London with his family to pursue a different way of life. He initially went to Boston College in Central London to study medicine, but soon found that it wasn't something he wanted to do anymore. He switched his major to accounting and finance and started studying those measures. He graduated with his degree and went on to work for an accounting firm to support his family. After working in the financial industry for many years, and enduring the commute along with the everyday grind, he decided to that he wanted to start his on brokerage firm. So he did, and he named it Solo Capital. He can rest assured that he's glad he did, because Solo Capital has surged into the million dollar market and now has an estimated net worth of $280 million. He felt the need that he was able to retire, or at least semi-retire and spend some much needed time with his family and young children. He had spent some time in the music industry which came in handy for his next venture, which would be a newly founded charity.
His new found charity was called Autism Rocks. It is a private invite only concert that helps raise donations for the research and development of autism. It has become a very close issue to him as his youngest son was diagnosed with autism in 2011. It became as quite a shock to himself and wife when they heard the news. It's a fairly new condition but becoming more and more widely known. More people each year are being diagnosed with the condition and his charity will help aid in the research and development, along with donations to universities/ The charity will also help families and patients cope with autism. It can be a hard thing to fully understand, and Shah wants to raise awareness so that more people understand and can look for the symptoms early. His future involves staging more concerts with some very famous musicians and will continue the success of the charity thanks to much support and many of his friends, along with his line of credit. He has donated his own money to the cause, but now Autism Rocks donations can help with that too.

DCIPS uses the leave, benefits, and entitlement programs that are common to all federal employees, to include annual and sick leave, retirement, health and life insurance, etc. In such areas, since there are no DCIPS-unique programs, there are no specific DCIPS volumes written, so DCIPS employees are covered by the OPM and DoD issuances which cover all employees.
In the areas of annual and sick leave, 5 USC 6301 provides definitions for the purpose of Chapter 63 Subchapter I and the Federal annual and sick leave programs in sections 6303 and 6307. The definition of "employee" in that section points to 5 USC 2015, which is the broadest definition of an employee in the civil service. That definition does not specifically exclude DCIPS employees, so the Federal annual and sick leave programs in sections 6303 and 6307 of Title 5 apply to DCIPS employees.
The Combat Support Agencies are part of the Fourth Estate, as defined in DoD Instruction 1402.03 Volume 1 and other places in DoD policy. The Fourth Estate is a collective term that refers to the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD), the Office of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Joint Staff, the Defense Agencies, the DoD Field Activities, and all other organizational entities in DoD that are not in the Military Departments or the Combatant Commands, except for the DoD Inspector General.
Many of the DoD civilian personnel policy volumes give responsibility to the DoD Director of Administration and WHS for all aspects of personnel administration of employees in the DoD Fourth Estate entities that do not have their own full independent appointing authority, and responsibility in other areas for all of the Fourth Estate. Many of the issuances you receive from WHS will specifically pertain to title 5 employees of DoD Fourth Estate organizations (GS, SES, SL, and/or ST employees), and would naturally exclude your DCIPS workforce because your Components exercise independent DCIPS appointing authority using your own secure human resources information systems. The key is to read carefully the issuances from WHS and DoD Director of Administration to determine if they apply to your Component or not, and to contact the HCMO if you aren't sure.

I am new to being a long arm quilter. I have quilted my own quilts and quilts for charity and for friends. Contact me if you want me to work on your quilt. My turn around is about two weeks. Around the holidays, I am sure that will go farther out.
I do some free motion quilting. I also have some pantographs for quilting. Pantograph quilting is where a design is laid out on the quilting table and the quilter, using a laser light, moves the long arm machine in relation to the design on the pantograph. It is a quilting technique that goes from edge to edge using the same design and then starts all over again on the next row.
I charge $.0125 per square inches of the quilt top (pre-quilting) for the quilting.
Plus $3 per spool of thread used if solid color or $7 for varigated thread. I will buy the thread because different threads act differently to long arm quilting. You can tell me what color and I will purchase accordingly. Most quilts take no more than one spool, except for a king or queen sized quilt.
I can provide the batting at an additional cost. The cost would depend upon on size of quilt.
When you drop off your quilt to me, I want to see:
1. the quilt top ready to be quilted
2. the backing ready to be quilted and sized 7-8" more on overall width and length from the top
3. batting, also sized 7-8" more on overall width and length from the top
4. information on paper pinned to the top:
** your name and contact information
** color of thread you want for top and back, if different from top
** date you need it returned finished - right now my turn around time is about two weeks.
Sample costs:
Quilt size is 45" x 60" which is an average crib size quilt
45 x 60 = 2700 x .0125 = $33.75
plus $3 for thread
total cost is $36.75
Quilt size is 80" x 92" which is an average Queen size quilt
80 x 92 = 7360 x .0125 = $110.40
plus $3 for spool of thread
total cost is $93.00 unless it takes two spools.
I will also do binding. I charge $20 per quilt for any quilt that is not a queen or king sized quilt. For a queen or king sized quilt, I charge $30 per quilt. Binding fabric is to be supplied by you. I will cut it to 2 1/4" wide and then I sew the strip to the front of the quilt and hand stitch to back of quilt. Just bring the yardage sufficient for your sized quilt. I can help you figure how much is needed. Just contact me. You are also welcome to precut your strips (please make them 2 1/4" wide and sew them together diagonally). If you pre-cut your strips, I will give a 15% discount on the binding fee.
You can reach me through my contact information on the right hand side of the blog or at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Here are some of the pantographs I have worked with so far: [Click to enlarge picture]
Water Ripples - free motion, great for an ocean quilt
Ginko Leaf pattern - loose design, great for any quilt:
Sunny Day pattern - great for a spring/summer or kids quilt:
Popcorn - whimsical design:
Free motion leaf pattern - good to use when doing an appliqued quilt or floral quilt:
Star pantograph - great for a patriotic quilt:
Box pantograph - for that funky, non-traditional quilt:
Teddy Bear pantograph - cute for a kids quilt:
Bubble pantograph - this is a open, large quilt pattern:

The first venture of the world-renowned Hilton Hotels & Resorts chain in the Baltics, the 12-storey Hilton Tallinn Park occupies a prime location overlooking a green area in the Estonian capital's commercial centre.
Opening of the facility, which will feature a 530-person ballroom as well as seven additional meeting rooms and an executive floor, will go a long way to boost the value of the city as a meeting and travel destination, according to Riine Tiigi, the ECB's Marketing Manager.
"We're really pleased that this new business-class hotel is coming on-line this year. We've been seeing more and more demand for hotels with larger conference rooms, and the Hilton will help meet that need. It's also a great choice for corporate groups who are looking for a hotel with very high standards," she said.
In addition to sweeping views of the city's medieval Old Town and financial district, the Hilton will have a 24-hour fitness centre, a heated indoor pool and spa.

With Talygen's industry leading Client Module, there is full transparency in the Billing process and helps Freelancers make sure that their Clients have full faith in the Billing process
Palo Alto, California (PRWEB) August 25, 2013
Freelancers have traditionally had a difficult time in informing their Clients about milestone updates and then invoicing them for payments on those milestones. Project progress can be halted if timely details are not sent to a Client about a payment being due. Sometimes, Clients may not receive Invoices sent via emails, further delaying the review and payment of those Invoices. Third party Invoicing solutions exist but are hard to manage as they are not integrated with the dashboards and portals used by Companies. Talygen, the world leader in Business Management Automation, has now introduced an advanced Client Invoicing system which integrates with its industry leading Cloud based Software as a Service (SaaS) web application. With this Invoicing feature, Freelancers now have a way to document, collect, and share Invoicing updates with their Clients in real time.

Freelancers can also generate and send Invoices automatically with scheduled recurring invoices. The advanced Invoicing system automatically generates Invoices for Clients based on the provided billing schedule. With this manual work is reduced and there is no need to constantly create the same recurring Invoices. This advanced feature allows Freelancers to manage Client data in one place, and leads to timely payment of Invoices, thus increasing productivity and saving time for both the Freelancers and their Clients.
The Invoicing feature for the Freelancers and their Clients is loaded with features such as:
- Review invoice as soon as it is generated and sent
- Consolidated review of multiple Project expenses within a single Invoice
- Client can use the included Message Board to comment on the Invoices

Wayne State (Neb.) holds on to upset 15th-ranked Grand Valley State
WINTER HAVEN, Fla. -- Wayne State was able to hold off a late rally by No. 15 Grand Valley State to preserve a 5-4 victory at the Russ Matt Central Florida Baseball Invitational. Pitcher Michael Frericks was key to the Wildcats' success and improved to 1-1 on the season with the win, as he threw six innings of work while striking out 11 batters and allowed three earned runs. Wayne State improved to 6-5 on the season while Grand Valley State fell to 3-2 on the year.
The Wildcats got on the scoreboard first taking an early 1-0 lead in the top of the second inning. Brandon Lalk led the inning off with a triple to right center before Michael Herman grounded out to shortstop, but the hit was enough to bring Lalk across the plate. Pitcher Michael Frericks proceeded to dominate innings three, four and five as he struck out eight batters in the three inning span (three in the third and fourth innings and two in the fifth).
Wayne State pushed their advantage to 2-0 in the top of the sixth inning when CJ Nolen hit a sacrifice fly to left field, allowing Brett Keim to score. The Wildcats tacked on two more runs in the top of the seventh inning to bolster their lead to 4-0. Michael Herman led the inning off with a single to left field and later scored when catcher Kevin Andersen doubled to right center for the RBI. Andersen scored two batters later when Blake Brisson singled to right field.
Grand Valley State responded in the bottom of the seventh inning and exploded for three runs to pull within one run as they cut the deficit to 4-3. The Lakers loaded the bases and hit back-to-back singles to score their first two runs. With the bases still loaded, Trevor Reeves came in to relieve Michael Frericks on the mound while there were still no outs in the inning. Reeves walked the first batter he faced and then struck out the next two batters before getting a ground out to third to end the inning. Wayne State then loaded the bases in the top of the eighth inning and pushed across one run when Justin Beranek scored to give Wayne State a 5-3 lead in the contest.
The Wildcats were unable to score any insurance runs in the top of the ninth inning and brought in Nick Ragan for Trevor Reeves to close out the game. The Lakers wasted little time in the bottom of the ninth, chipping away at the WSC lead as Grand Valley State started off the inning with a single through the left side of the infield by Kevin Zak. Giancarlo Brugnoni then doubled down the left field line to score Zak from second base and cut Wayne State's lead to 5-4. Ragan then used the defense behind him as Wayne State recorded three consecutive outs to finish the game.
Frericks led the Wayne State pitching staff, striking out 11 batters in six innings pitched. Frericks allowed 10 hits, three earned runs and walked two batters in the contest. Ragan recorded the save for the 'Cats as he pitched the ninth inning to preserve the win. WSC was led at the plate by Lalk's three hits while Brisson and Andersen each had two hits and Herman had one hit. Grand Valley State outhit Wayne State 14-8 in the game but the Lakers left 12 runners on base compared to only five for the 'Cats.

Social Workers' Role in the Delivery of Play Therapy to Children
Social Work
Date of Paper/Work
Degree Name
Master of Social Work (M.S.W.)
Type of Paper/Work
Clinical research paper
Keith DeRaad
The purpose of this project was to explore the role that social workers play in the delivery of play therapy services to children. This study used a quantitative design to survey 51 licensed social workers on their use of and perceptions of the effectiveness of play therapy. Data were collected through an online survey and analyzed to determine how frequently social workers use play therapy, what level of training they have in play therapy techniques, how effective social workers feel play therapy is with children and what factors are believed to contribute to its effectiveness. Findings revealed that the majority of social workers do not use play therapy with their clients, but do feel it is an effective form of intervention. Additionally, findings showed that social workers had minimal exposure to play therapy in graduate school or through continuing education; yet a majority of respondents indicated that they felt basic training in play therapy interventions should be a part of all social workers' undergraduate/graduate education. This highlights the necessity of further research on the role social workers play in the delivery of play therapy services and the need for schools of social work to better prepare students to practice play therapy in the field.

A Williams Family Blog reader asked via Facebook about where to find and meet Doc McStuffins while at Walt Disney World. The reader knew that Doc McStuffins was on the "menu" so to speak for breakfast or lunch at Disney Junior Play 'n Dine at the Hollywood and Vine Restaurant in Disney's Hollywood Studios. In fact, here's what the Walt Disney World web-site tells about this experience:
A few of your Disney Junior favorites are coming to Hollywood & Vine—don't miss this chance to eat, play and dance along with friends from Doc McStuffins, Sofia the First, Jake and the Never Land Pirates and Handy Manny during this fun and interactive dining experience.
But where else might this character be found?
In my response, I indicated that the Disney Junior characters can also be seen on a rotating basis in the Animation Courtyard between the Voyage of the Little Mermaid and Disney Jr. Live on Stage daily between 9:30 am and 4:40 pm. This character meet and greet typically features two or more characters. Information about this meet and greet would be found on the Park's Times Guide.
While the boy considers himself beyond this stage, we did bump into Handy Manny and Jake from the Never Land Pirates just inside the Magic of Disney Animation building, which is where the characters from the courtyard go to meet guests during inclement weather.
If you are at Walt Disney World and there is a character you would like to meet, be sure to check at Guest Services at the entrance to each park and inquire about character meeting locations and times. Also know that those times and locations can change based on weather and character availability.
On one of our trips the only Disney Princess we had yet to meet was Snow White and we knew she would be in the Germany Pavilion just prior to our dinner at the Biergarten—click here to read more. When we arrived, we were greeted, instead, by a Cast Member telling us that Snow White was tending to a sick Dwarf. While we were disappointed, we were grateful for the information from the Cast Member so that we did not wait around wondering. We never did see Snow White that trip; it was another reason for another trip!

Application of the microwave oven as a fast, safe objective system for dissolution and treatment of samples in the chemical analysis of steel
Project ID: 7210-GD/405Funded under: ECSC-STEELRES 7C
This work was dedicated to selecting the instrumental conditions suitable for the dissolution of samples typical of the iron and steel industries: steels, ferroalloys, slags, coal, ashes, oil, iron ores, sludges, refractory materials. For each matrix the following parameters have been examined: partice size; type and quantity of acid mixture; type of the digestion vessels; power/time ratio. For the dissolution of non-conductive materials three microwave ovens were tested: Milestone MLS 1200 oven (1200 watt); CEM MDS 81-D oven (600 watt); CEM MDS-2000 (software system to control the temperature, by a P photocell; the system allows control of the pressure vessel too). The dissolution of steels, ferroalloys and refractory materials (magnesite, dolomite, magnesite-chrome) was carried out using a MILESTONE MLS 1200 oven. For all type of matrices it was possible to establish which elements are determinable in the soluble phase. The yields for Al, Cr, Si, Ti are generally low when these elements are present as refractory phases (alumina, cromite, rutile) in non-conductive materials. As steels and ferroalloys are concerned, requested times for total dissolution of the samples are very reduced in comparison with chemical procedures.

Improve Visitor Engagement
Your fans love your brand and products for different reasons. For example, some love you because your products make them stand out and achieve a sense of prestige, while others adore you because they find your products practical and consistent in quality.
To highlight who your customers are and why they love you, Juji analyzes your fans and automatically derive your representative fan personas. The derived insights can then be used to humanize product descriptions by highlighting who likes what and why on your landing page. Such messages help you better engage like-minded vistors, who can easily relate to your products and bond with your brand.
Guide Customers to Buy
Instead of asking your customers to fill in a lengthy survey, Juji analyzes their opt-in data (e.g., tweets) and automatically infers their unique needs and wants, including what makes them tick and what ticks them off. Juji then uses the results to recommend What's You—hyper-personalized offers that best suit one's needs or wants from the very first login.
Maximize the Value of Social Proof
Like attracts like. People tend to trust and value the opinions of like-minded others. To help a customer find social proof that s/he can trust the most, Juji automatically infers the characteristics of social proof providers and enables the customer to easily discover the opinions of the like-minded providers.
By augmenting your social proof with personal characteristics of the providers and personalizing the social proof for each customer based on his/her traits, your social marketing becomes more transparent and trustworthy for your customers to rely on in their decision-making processes.

Pastor Joey began his 17th year of ministry at Bluffton UMC on July 4, 2010. Prior to coming to Bluffton, Joey served three charges: St. Matthew Circuit, Cambridge and the Barnwell/Siloam Charge. All of these charges are members of the South Carolina Annual Conference of the United Method Church.
Pastor Joey and his bride Mickaylla were married on July 13th, 2010. Mickaylla, a former speech language pathologist is presently a stay at home mom to their five boys: Mark – 17; James – 13; Josh and Zac – 15; and Mathew – 11.
The first two years here in Bluffton have been a time of transition. They started out by blending their two families into one and relocating their new family to a new location here in Bluffton. In addition, this has been a new pastoral experience by moving from a shrinking population to the fastest growing county in South Carolina. Joey reflects, "This church body is good to us. We are truly blessed. The people here are bright, energetic and eager to serve. From the pastoral perspective, this is exciting and much appreciated."
Pastor Joey's hobbies include hiking, biking, and traveling. We at the BUMC are delighted to have Pastor Joey and his family serve our church.
