The 17th Tennessee Infantry was mustered into Confederate service on August 15, 1861 at Big Creek, Campbell County, TN. The regiment was then placed under the command of Brigadier General Felix K. ZOLLICOFFER, and participated in an engagement at Rock Castle, Kentucky (Camp Wildcat) on October 21, 1861, where it suffered 45 causalities. On January 20, 1862 the regiment was engaged in action at Fishing Creek near Mill Springs, Kentucky. In this battle the regiment suffered 46 casualties and Brigadier General ZOLLICOFFER was killed. The next action the regiment saw was during General Bragg's invasion of Kentucky in 1862. During this campaign the regiment was present at the capture of Munfordville and at the battle of Perryville (Oct. 8, 1862 - 24 casualties).
The regiment was placed in General Patrick R. CLEBURNE'S Division during the battle at Murfreesboro (Dec. 31, 1862), where the regiment listed 246 causalities out of 598 men engaged. Following the Tullahoma campaign, the regiment was heavily engaged at the Battle of Chickamauga (Sept. 19 & 20, 1863) and suffered 130 causalities out of 249 men engaged.
The regiment then severed its connection with the Army of Tennessee
and served under Lt. General James
LONGSTREET during campaigns against Knoxville and East
Tennessee in the Fall and Winter of 1863/64.
The regiment was
then transferred to the Army of Northern Virginia in the Spring of 1864. In
Viriginia, the regiment was involved in many
battles, including Drewry's Bluff (May 15, 1864 - 68
casualties out of 319 engaged), Petersburg (June 17, 1864 - 70 men
captured), and Hatcher's Run
(Feb. 2, 1865). The regiment was surrendered by LEE at Appomattox Courthouse
approximately 70 men remaining from the over 1000 men who served.

Skip to comments.Sen. Lindsey Graham to seek authorization for U.S. attack on Iran
Posted on 09/19/2013 5:10:52 PM PDT by steelhead_trout
Sen. Lindsey Graham is one of the strongest advocates of an American military strike against the Assad regime in Syria. He was unhappy when President Obama decided to seek congressional authorization for an attack, and then unhappy when his fellow lawmakers voiced disapproval of the president's plan. Graham believes the diplomatic path chosen by the administration will lead to a debacle.
Given all that, Graham now says he will work with a bipartisan group of senators to craft a resolution authorizing the president to use military force -- not against the Syrian regime but against Iran. In an appearance on Fox News' Huckabee program over the weekend, Graham argued that such a resolution is essential, because American inaction in Syria will encourage Iran to go forward with its nuclear weapon program, eventually leading toward a Mideast conflagration if the U.S. doesn't intervene.
(Excerpt) Read more at washingtonexaminer.com ...
Lindsay "Low Hand" Graham thinks he is the C in C now?
What in the world is going on with ol linseed graham.
he is as batty and senile as it gets if you ask me
McCain and Graham are the blunder Twins
Iran should seek UN approval to strike Lindsey Graham's home in Washington DC
If youd like to be on or off, please FR mail me.
Yes, America's projection of weakness, not inaction, does encourage Iran. And North Korea. And Russia, the Muslim Brotherhood and their terror offshoots, pretty much everyone who hates America. Irrespective about anyone feels about a strike on Syria, it wasn't a lack of Congressional action that deep sixed it. If if were ever contemplated. The idea that somehow Congress can force an unwilling Commander in Chief is something new. Lindsay should worry about Obamacare, Syria is a dead issue.
Dear Linseed,
When you become POTUS (or declared sane) you can attack whomever you like. Since we are now a dictatorship. you won't even need to ask permission or anything!
In the meantime, go away!
If at first you can't invade, try try again...somewhere else.
What's this, a fag hissyfit over getting censured?
Freep You Lindsey Graham (FULG)!!
I am starting to wonder if he and McCain are suffering from syphylis and it has gone to their brains! They are just off the charts crazed these days.
Lady Lispy has gone 'round the bend.
All the jokes aside, what's WRONG with this guy? What is motivating him and others like McCain? Is there money involved somehow? Because this is just nuts for them to risk reelection. Only money or blackmail could explain this idiocy! Well, maybe it could be some kind of gay brotherhood thing, but otherwise, it makes no sense.
He's a nutjob.
Why is this is breaking news? It was posted yesterday:
Why does she want to attack Iran?
Somethings up with the Bobsey twins thats for sure....
It's Limpy GRAmnesty— Big McAmnesty suck up. By the By he is going to lose his primary real bad.
I'd be willing to bet they both have big dollar donors from the military equipment/supplies sector.
<< I'd be willing to bet they both have big dollar donors from the military equipment/supplies sector. >>
Yeah, now that would make sense. They figure the big donor $ will be enough to get them reelected, plus they get to stay in the good graces of their Communist-Marxist-Socialist-Democrat masters. All they have to do is $ell their $ouls.
If that happens, I will thank God, and I don't even live in South Carolina.
This is what happens when you let lawyers think they're soldiers.
"McCain and Graham are the blunder Twins"
They can both get a room with Huck! He's a POS of the first order.
Blackmail is a great motivator.
War for sale! War! Who wants your war! We've got fresh war!
Or fudge packing thumper twins if you get my drift.
I agree, Iran needs their behind kicked in a bad way and when George Bush was president we should have, could have, would have gone in and strike Iran but now is not the time for it unless everyone including Israel was all on the same page.
1979 was the time for it. It's been too late ever since. I don't fault either George Bush for not going against Iran. I didn't agree with him on just about anything else, but I'm glad Clinton stayed away from that sh*thole of a country too.
I hope it is. Syphilis can be cured. Stupid is forever.
But paresis of the brain, where the spirochetes from syphilis enter the brain, cannot be cured. The end result is insanity, then death. FWIW, this was the fate of Al Capone...
True, curing the syphilis will not repair existing damage to the brain, but it does stop further damage. WRT Linda, I'll take what I can get.
Senator Strangelove strikes again.
Graham says obama doesn't need congressional authorization to attack Syria. But he wants to give obama authorization to attack Iran. Get your shit together, Linzy.
im sure many people are praying for this :
Former Sen. Lindsey Graham
Think about it...
This subject keeps him and McCain in the news carrying Obama's water ( what does he have on these two ) to keep them from doing what should be their real job and main focus, i.e. stoping Obamacare. In the process they have show a fractured un-unified GOP which is what Obama needs. Facilitators of darn near evil? One has to ask that IMHO..
This is what happens when you let lawyers think theyre soldiers.
DING!! We have a winner!!!
People in SC still swear Lindsey in a "conservative". I believe the people there like all the publicity he brings them; just like the hapless Arizonans with McPain.
When your enemy is digging a hole, give him a shovel.
Hey lindsey - bomb Iran ... where? The weapons and research facilitiates are buried deep underground beneath tons of sand and rock. How would you ever know if it was successful? Its not as simple as just lobbing some bombs on these countries.
Lindsey Graham is a nut case....
Whats gives with these freaks? All of a sudden they want to start a war with every country in the middle east.
His biggest new fans will be Bombs Away McCain and Chickenhawk Hannity.
I think Democrats and Independents will save him unfortunately.
What's this guy been smoking? Granted, I hate the leadership in Iran as much as the next person, but come on, now he's advocating an all out regional war in the Middle East.

Yoo Captures B.C. Junior Girls' Championship
Last Updated on Sunday, 15 July 2012 12:42 Sunday, 15 July 2012 11:55
Team Canada Duel Ends With Yoo Champion Ahead Of Kim; Kong and Kapchinsky Finish T3
Osoyoos, British Columbia (BRITISH COLUMBIA GOLF)-Anica Yoo overcame her Team Canada Development Squad partner Taylor Kim to claim the 2012 British Columbia Junior Girls' Championship at the Osoyoos Golf and Country Club.
After posting a new women's course record during third round action, the eighteen year old Port Coquitlam resident Yoo proved it was not a fluke by following it up with a four-under-par 68 final round.
After sea-sawing birdies and bogeys on her first six holes, Yoo turned up the temperature on her round, carding four birdies in a five hole stretch starting on the 8th to get her round to -4, -11 overall.
"I struggled a bit in the beginning of today's round," stated Yoo. "I was able to make birdie then bogey, birdie then bogey. It wasn't until the eight hole that I got my round going."
Not only did she birdie four out of five holes, she did so on all par 4's, including the third most difficult hole on the day in the par 4, 350-yard 9th.
She wouldn't need any more on the day, closing her round with five straight pars en route to a 277 total (74-70-65-68-277).
Playing in the same group and starting the day tied wit Yoo was her teammate and friend Taylor Kim. The seventeen year old from Surrey was actually ahead of Yoo by one stroke during the final round after stringing together back-to-back birdies on the 5th and 6th holes before Yoo went on her four-hole tear.
After making bogey on the 9th hole, resulting in a two-shot swing, Kim couldn't get off her par rhythm, making six straight pars up until the par 5, 16th hole where she would make birdie.
This would close the gap to two-strokes with Yoo but Kim would stumble on the way in, making two straight bogeys to finish her round even-par 72 and claim second all by herself, an eventual four-strokes behind the champion Yoo (66-74-69-72-281).
When asked about her plan going into the round tied with her teammate, Yoo revealed something no one would have guessed, her nerves.
"I was actually really nervous and scared. My coach phoned and wished me a good round and said if I played to my targets, hit my yardages and stayed committed I would have a good round," mentioned Yoo. "I guess he was right."
"I have wanted this so bad since I was 13 years old," stated Yoo. "I have won the Bantam and Juvenile but never won the Junior. To do this in my last year is amazing. This feels amazing."
Yoo claimed the 2006 B.C. Bantam Championship and the 2010 Juvenile Championship.
With Team Canada Development Squad members taking the first two spots in the Championship, a playoff was needed to determine who would finish in sole third for purposes of naming a Team B.C. subsidy recipient.
After posting an even-par round of 72 (77-76-71-72-296), Fifteen year old Alix Kong of West Vancouver warranted a spot in the sudden-death playoff.
The other competitor would be seventeen year old Madison Kapchinsky of Kelowna who finished her final round with a two-over-par 74 (73-72-77-74-296), tied in third with Kong. Both players would finish the Championship with an overall score of (+8).
The sudden-death playoff would only one hole, with Kong making birdie and stamping her ticket to nationals by way of the British Columbia Golf subsidy.
Typically, the top three performers at the B.C. Junior Girls' represent British Columbia on Team BC but it was announced prior to the event that amateur-standout Jisoo Keel of Coquitlam would be exempt from qualifying due to a Team Canada scheduling conflict.
Team B.C., consisting of Yoo, Kim and Keel, will now travel to Calgary, Alberta to the River Spirit Golf Club on July 31- August 3, 2012 to go up against the best and brightest in the Royal Cup Canadian Junior Girls' Championship.
Asked of her excitement heading into nationals, 2011 Canadian Junior Girls' runner-up Yoo could barely contain herself.
"This is going to be the biggest competition ever. British Columbia will definitely be the favourite."

How to shop for Pool Timers
Pool supplies include a wide array of devices to keep your swimming pool up and running. The general pool equipment includes pool pump, filter grids, cartridges, pool motors, pool filters, pool heaters, pool vacuums and pool timers.
Digital Pool Timer Features
The digital pool timers have gained vast usage due to the numerous features that they have. As you may already know, these timers are designed to turn the lights, appliances, water irrigation systems and street lights on and off. The timers in particular can make any house secure and comfortable. The timers are able to solve a number of problems you face every day.
How to Buy a Pool Timer?
- Start with selecting a swimming pool timer. Find the one that is easy to install. Also, make sure it is easy to use.
- Pool timers are usually installed after the pool filtration system has been fully set. That is why you have to make sure that the pool timer you buy fully integrates with the pool filtration system you have already installed.
- Make sure to buy a pool timer that has a number of multiple functions instead of a simple model. You have to know that pool timers are designed to turn the pumps on and off. They also are able to have control over the lights, climate controls and other installed pool devices. As a result, it is crucial to purchase a timer that is 100% suitable for existing poolside appliances.
- If you wish to purchase a dual swimming timer, it means that you have a large size pool. Dual swimming timers were particularly designed to handle big size pools. The large size pool has complex filtration systems. Each system must exclusively regulate its filtering functions. At the same time, the second timer in the dual pool timer model is designed to regulate the lighting control as well as other pool functions.
- We always suggest looking for pool timers with a non-corrosive cover. Since the pool timer is really close to handling wetness and water, the water-proof non-corrosive box is a must.
- Make sure to pay attention to the electrical pool timer requirements as they vary. The 110V electrical hookup will work best with 110 volt pool timer. At the same time, if you have a 110 volt system and a 220 volt swimming pool timer, you need to install a new line to handle the 220 volt.

American Samplers
The earliest known American sampler was made by Loara Standish of the Plymouth Colony about 1645. By the 1700s, samplers depicting alphabets and numerals were worked by young women to learn the basic needlework skills needed to operate the family household. By the late 1700s and early 1800s, schools or academies for well-to-do young women flourished, and more elaborate pieces with decorative motifs such as verses, flowers, houses, religious, pastoral, and/or mourning scenes were being stitched. The parents of these young women proudly displayed their embroideries as showpieces of their work, talent, and status.
In recent years, samplers have become important in museum collections as representations of early American female education. Many are signed, and some are inscribed with locations and the names of teachers and schools. The emergence of large numbers of these samplers has resulted in much research in diaries, account books, letters, newspaper ads, local histories, and published commentary that is helping to illuminate the lives of women in early America.
Many early samplers do not have the letters "J" and "U" in their alphabets because they were not part of the early Latin alphabet and so the letter "I" was used for "J" and the "V" for "U." The letter "s" is often replaced with the printers "s" which looks like the modern f.
There are 137 American samplers in the Textile Collection. The first was donated in 1886, the Margaret Dinsmoor sampler. In the 1890s the Copp Collection was received and it contained two samplers—one by Esther Copp and the other by her great niece Phebe Esther Copp. (The Copp Collection is an extensive collection of 18th-and 19th- century household textiles, costume items, furniture, and other pieces belonging to the Copps, a prosperous but frugal Connecticut family.) The earliest dated sampler in the collection was made in 1735 by Lydia Dickman of Boston, Massachusetts.

Mary Bishop's Sampler
- Description
- There is a wide floral crossband at the center of the sampler, worked with crinkled silk thread in long, couched stitches. At the bottom of the sampler are three large and two small floral motifs, and among them these initials: "WB SB CB JB." All four edges are finished with wide green silk ribbon. Mary Bishop included an inscription and the names Joseph Bishop, Mary Bishop, and Sarah Bishop.
- Inscription: "In the sightless are I dwell / On the sloping sunbeams pley / Delve the cavern's inmost cell / Where never yet did daylight stray / Joseph Bishop / Mary Bishop / Sarah Bishop."
- Mary's inscription is from a poem entitled "Song of a Spirit" by Ann Ward Radcliffe (1764-1823). Mrs. Radcliffe was a popular English writer in her day and this poem is from her 1791 historical Gothic romance novel The Romance of the Forest. The sampler is stitched with silk embroidery thread on a linen ground with a thread count of warp 28, weft 30/in. The stitches used are cross, satin, eyelet, rice, stem, outline, and crosslet.
- Despite including the names of possibly her mother and father, nothing could be found about the life of Mary Bishop.

Sochi 2014 Olympic partners commit to Mzymta River Basin restoration23/
Environmental Action Plans from Zero Waste to Climate Neutrality to Help Stage Greener OlympicsSochi / Nairobi, 23 March 2011 - Leading partners involved in the construction of the Olympic venues and infrastructure in the Russian city of Sochi, host of the 2014 Winter Olympics, signed a Declaration, Wednesday, that commits them to develop and implement a restoration plan for the Mzymta River Basin, based on a recommendation by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP).In March 2010, UNEP submitted a report to the Russian Government outlining the impact of construction work on the environment and called for collective action to safeguard the unique ecosystem of the region, recommending the development of a restoration and biodiversity preservation and management programme for the Mzymta River Basin.The report also recommended a Comprehensive Impact Assessment of Olympic and tourism projects on the ecosystem.The Declaration of Commitments, facilitated by UNEP and witnessed by the Government of the Russian Federation, was signed today by representatives of Olympstroy, Russian Railways, Krasnaya Poluana, Gazprom, the Federal Grid Company, Rosa Khutor and the administration of the Krasnodar region. Also attending were Dimitri Kosak, Deputy Prime Minister of Russia in charge of planning the games and Alexander Zhukuov, also Deputy Prime Minister and President of the Russian Olympic Committee.Dmitry Chernyshenko, Sochi 2014 President and CEO, said, "International expertise in ecology is a unique asset to the Sochi 2014 Games legacy. In Russia where the 'green standards' practice has recently been introduced, the analysis and evolving of this into a reality of the leading international experience in restoring the complicated ecosystems is incredibly important. The recommendations of these independent ecologists are extremely important for creation a unique ecological legacy of Sochi 2014 Games which will continue to be maintained long after the Games are complete."Achim Steiner, UN Under-Secretary General and UNEP Executive Director, said: "The Olympics are a source of national pride but also an opportunity for showcasing innovation and catalyzing action towards a more sustainable future nationally and internationally-one reason why UNEP is involved in the Olympic movement and a partner with the International Olympic Committee"."Winter games such as Torino 2006 and summer games such as Beijing 2008 have underlined the power and the potential of the Olympics to motivate millions and assist countries see a cleaner and greener development path. Sochi 2014 has that opportunity too and UNEP welcomes today's commitments, including the plan to restore the Mzymta river basin, as one of many positive steps towards that goal," he added.In the context of its support of the Sochi 2014 Ecological Programme, UNEP has submitted to the Organizing Committee environmental action plans that cover key areas including Zero Waste and Climate Neutrality. The action plans will form a portfolio of seventeen environmental projects to be carried out under the Sochi 2014 Ecological Programme.The objective of the Zero Waste programme is to develop a sound plan for waste management that focuses on sustainable consumption, recycling and safe disposal. Key deliverables under the action plan include the provision of new waste collection and processing facilities at identified venues and the procurement of environmentally friendly products, manufactured from low impact, recycled, and recyclable materials.The Zero Emissions action plan outlines a detailed strategy for carbon management around the games to measure, reduce and offset carbon emissions.Key deliverables under the action plan include an auditing framework for Green House Gas emissions and the development of measurement methodologies appropriate to Russia and Sochi; a GHG reduction plan; and the development of a voluntary carbon offset programmes for Russia.UNEP was invited by the Russian Government and the Organizing Committee of the Sochi 2014 Olympic Games in 2008 to provide guidance on the integration of environmental considerations in the preparation and staging of the Games. UNEP has a longstanding collaboration with the International Olympic Committee (IOC) in the greening of the Games that spans Athens 2004, Torino 2006, Beijing 2008 and Vancouver 2010.For More Information Please Contact Nick Nuttall, UNEP Spokesperson/Head of Media, on Tel: +254733632755 , E-mail: email@example.com Shereen Zorba, Head of Newsdesk, on Tel: +254 713 601 259, E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com

Hundreds rally round the river
October 7, 2011
With enormous gratitude, the South Yuba River Citizens League (SYRCL) is grateful for the 620 volunteers who removed over 13,000 pounds of trash and recycling out of the Yuba and Bear Rivers, Deer, Dry and Wolf Creek watersheds on Sept. 17 for the 14th Annual Greater Yuba River Clean-up and Restoration Day. Thanks to the 17 agencies and citizens that hauled the trash away from the 35 sites extending from Donner Summit down to Parks Bar on the lower Yuba River. Special thanks to all the local farmers who donated food for the lunch along with the stores and bakeries. Acknowledgment also to our major sponsors: Nevada City Self Storage, Briar Patch Co-op, A-One Bookkeeping & Tax, Builders and Consumers, PG & E and YubaNet News. Thank you to the entire community of people demonstrating their stewardship of our watershed.

Alright, now that you've wiped the drool from your face, I thought I'd break it down. You'll notice the numbers attached for your convenience.
1. Laptop. Of course, my faithful companion, without whom I could accomplish nothing. No writing, no wasting hours upon hours every day skulking around online instead of writing, no watching interviews of people with Irish accents, or old Flight of the Conchords clips. Laptop, do you have anything to say?
This is quite possibly your worst post ever.
See? What would I do without him?
2. The outlet. Which is also essential because Laptop's battery lasts about three minutes.
Who's stupid fault is that?
It's true. They can't all be macs.
I hate you.
If you can't say anything nice I'm going to disinvite you from contributing to this post.
Oh. No. The horrors. The horrors. Yawn.
Sarcasm is not an attractive trait in electronics, my dear Laptop.
3. Dr Pepper. Enough said.
4. Popcorn. You'll notice the bowl is empty.
5. Random crap, including but not limited to a notebook for (shockingly enough!) taking notes, whatever book I'm reading at the time, a whole mess of wires and cables, and a stuffed koala bear that has no business whatsoever being there, but that I simply don't care enough to remove.
6. Snow Patrol playing on Laptop. Speaking of which--I get to go to their concert in October! My very first concert! I'm so excited! I'm so excited! I'm so...so...scared! I mean, whoa, channeling Jessie Spano for a minute there. Just excited, not at all scared.
You'll notice that Word is also open in the background. I like to open up my work in progress during the day so that it sits there, blinking at me, mocking my inability to get anything done while Dojo is awake.
7. My favorite feature--the dishwasher! Right in front of me to constantly remind me that I have not, in fact, done the dishes yet today. It's also a really fun activity for my kids when they get annoyed with me to come over and pull it open, smacking me in the stomach or whacking me in the shins. Of course, just to the right is the dishwasher's companion, the sink. Lovely.
She keeps me next to the kitchen sink, for the love of DOS. THE SINK.
Sorry. It's true.
And finally, in another pleasant feature, you'll notice something conspicuously missing from this picture--that's right, no chair! If I want to get anything done during the day I have to stand at the counter. The moment I take Laptop to the couch with me Dojo is climbing on both of us, his body magically transformed into nothing but elbows and knees, viciously finding any soft spots to dig themselves into while he makes his best efforts to break Laptop.
Still, he's cute.
Agreed. Someday I'll have Hot Stuff take a picture of me when I'm actually writing, but all I do is curl up in the corner of our hand-me-down of a hand-me-down couch, typing furiously away while Laptop singes my thighs.
I do that on purpose.
I know, my love. I know.

|Posted by Doug on January 03, 19101 at 10:33:09:
I have an old (my house was built circa 1930, original, I'm not sure)Crane shower single handle faucet with a separate diverter. The handle goes from SHUT to COLD to HOT. The diverter goes from SHOWER AND SPRAY to SHOWER to SPRAY. It works well, but my problem is that I can not get it to stop dripping. Yes, I know that it takes a bit of time for the upper shower to finish draining, but not all day and night. I have replaced the washer(s) behind the single handle, just beneath the two cone shaped inserts. Of course I had to fabricate the washers as all plumbing shops laughed when I brought the unit in to ask about it. They all agreed that I was out of luck. Any help out there?

Despite a slow economy, Communities is Schools' annual School Tools supply drive was able to collect hundreds of school supplies that will benefit area school children in need.
The campaign, which collects pencils, notebooks and other items, began Aug. 1 and will end Tuesday.
This year, locals have been able to donate supplies at one of the BB&T locations in the county – on Main Street in Lancaster and off Charlotte Highway in Indian Land.
BB&T served as the lone drop-off location for the Communities in Schools (CIS) drive this year.
Dozens of students who didn't get the supplies they needed when school began will soon get a helping hand.
United Way of Lancaster County recently held its second annual Stuff the Bus school drive in which residents donated papers, pencils, crayons and other school supplies to collection spots throughout the county.
Those supplies benefit children served through the Lancaster County Outreach Project, which provides resources for neglected and abused children.
Remaining supplies will go to other Lancaster County School District children in need.
A group of rising kindergarteners interacted with their teacher and mingled amongst themselves as if they had been around each other for months.
If there were jitters about starting school, they weren't easy to detect. This group of youngsters appeared eager to be in the classroom.
The scene in Heather McManus' kindergarten class at Indian Land Elementary School was one that was seen across the school district last week, as teachers wrapped up this year's Countdown to Kindergarten program.
The Lancaster County Fire Chiefs Association recently announced the latest winners of its annual scholarship.
Sara Gardner and Meredith Hagins are the winners for the 2010 cycle, each receiving $500. They were presented their award July 22 at the association's regular meeting.
Each year, the association awards a $1,000 scholarship to one student or $500 to two.
Crystal Fields' recent trip to Washington, D.C., was more eventful than she thought it would be.
Fields, the lead ESOL (English as a Second or Other Language) teacher for Lancaster County School District, visited the nation's capital for two reasons June 22 through June 27.
Discussion of drawings, paintings and poetry isn't being restricted to just art classes.
Melanie Rick Layne wants educators to know that the arts can be used in all disciplines to help students learn and achieve at a higher level.
Layne, who works with the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, facilitated a seminar last week for teachers in the Lancaster County School District and Rock Hill schools.
KERSHAW – Blood pressure and heart rates are just some of the vital signs students at York Technical College's Kershaw/Heath Springs Center will be able to read in class.
Nursing students and others taking classes under York Tech's medical programs will soon have access to two patient simulators.
The full-body manikins have a temperature, pulse and heart beat – signs students can monitor on a screen display as they would real-life patients.
Hayden Lee shared his love for music through a recent drawing contest sponsored by Google, the popular Internet search engine.
Lee, a rising seventh-grader at Andrew Jackson Middle School, was a state finalist in this year's Doodle 4 Google contest, which was open to kindergarten through 12th grade students across the United States.
The contest allows a student to put his or her own personal and artistic touch on the Google word logo. Student entries had to be submitted by late March and judging took place in May.
Johnesha Graham isn't going to let a tuition increase get in the way of her degree.
Graham, 28, is just one of many students who will be paying higher tuition payments at the University of South Carolina at Lancaster this fall. The university recently announced a 6.5 percent increase in its tuition costs for the upcoming school year. Fees, including technology, science lab, matriculation and parking fees, have also increased.
HEATH SPRINGS – There was a different activity going on in each corner of the Heath Springs Community Center on Thursday.
In one area, a group of children worked on math equations. And nearby, another group played the board game Scrabble.
Everywhere you looked, youngsters were either working on projects, playing games or receiving help with academics – and all appeared to be having fun in the process.

Happy Fourth of July weekend! This week in Tech we mingled with actresses and "Explorers," took a look at new cameras and computer systems, and pondered a world without Google Reader. Here's what you need to know about the week in Tech:
1) Windows 8.1 delivers some needed tweaks
Microsoft has heard the complaints from users about Windows 8 and will debut a big update, Windows 8.1, later this year. USA TODAY's Ed Baig took a look at Windows 8.1 earlier this week. Here are a few of the improvements in the update:
— Start button: It's back! Kind of. Users can find the traditional Start button in Desktop mode at the bottom left corner of the taskbar. Windows 8.1 also gives you the option to open in the Desktop environment on start-up.
— Bing integration: You can do a Bing search from anywhere on the standard Windows interface.
— Windows store: The store got a new look, and a new feature that brings up apps it thinks you'll be interested in based on other purchases.
2) Talking Your Tech: Mayim Bialik leaves tech on the set
Mayim Bialik is a self-described nerd, but you wouldn't know it from her limited use of tech gadgets and social media.
The Big Bang Theory star plays nerdy scientist Amy Fowler on the show, but at home she doesn't use the Internet to home school her kids, and she doesn't let them go on the Internet or watch TV very often.
Bialik isn't totally tech-averse: She has a MacBook Air, an iPad and an HTC One phone that she uses herself. But when it comes to home schooling her kids, she has a more traditional approach: "It's good old-fashioned paper, pens and pencils. I know the Internet is available to me and them, and that it will be useful, but I'm teaching them the way I was taught."
3) At Google Glass 'basecamp' lucky newbies get specs
Get ready to get jealous. Some 10,000 "Glass Explorers" are going to be going hands-on with Google Glass over the course of this summer, ahead of the product's 2014 launch. Glass Explorers submitted to an online contest and paid $1,500 to get the specs.
USA TODAY's Marco della Cava chatted with a few of the Explorers at Glass "basecamp" in a decommissioned naval base in San Francisco.
So what do they think of Google Glass so far? Here's a sampling of their reactions:
Magda Schoeneich, 30, New York: "I expected it to be bulkier and more fragile, but it's solid and very intuitive."
Grant Heimbach, 28, Texas: "I've only had it on 10 minutes now, but I'm already comfortable with it," he says. "They feel like my pair of Ray-Bans. I don't notice that I'm wearing anything different."
USA TODAY's Brett Molina put together a guide to the best Google Reader alternatives. Here are a few of the best:
Feedly: The site is "the best option in a Google Reader free world" and "offers the best selection of sharing options," including Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest.
Flipboard: This is your best option if you want to go mobile. Flipboard has a magazine-style format and is available on iOS and Android.
Digg Reader: This Reader is fairly new, but it's "a clean, simple choice" with options for sharing to Twitter and Facebook.
5) Canon's new 70D SLR keeps video in focus on the go
No need to lug a big camera and a heavy camcorder to the next family barbecue. Canon's new EOS 70D DSLR camera takes clear video and stays in focus even in auto mode.
USA TODAY's Jefferson Graham took it for a test run and said it doesn't zoom in as quickly in video mode as it does in camera mode, and the video clips have a limit of 12 minutes. But the camera also keeps 80% of the video focus area sharp, Graham says.

RC Tell me about Mirror, what are the key elements that it considers?
AL One of the projects I have been working on over the last few years investigates the politics of vision and the language of seeing through the relationship between perception and the construction of space.
Mirror is the latest in a series of work that uses the interaction between repeated metal units, an image reflected from the painted backs of the units onto the supporting wall, the wall itself, and the title of the work to draw attention to and question such situations and ideas. If the viewer is prepared to look at the work from an oblique viewpoint a shadowy image of the text 'mirror' is revealed floating in a simple geometric space.
Language and perspective are both systems used to describe space. The simple act of seeing the ephemeral image subverts the viewer's initial perception of the work and acts as a reminder of the subjective nature of seeing/understanding.
The idea of mirror as a space is complex and interesting for it has parallels in those systems that drive and reinforce cultural and social values and as such fundamentally influence the way we see the world around us. Mirror provides a contemplative space in which to look at familiar things in new ways.
RC You have previously worked in conjunction with architectural projects and does Mirror seek to question the boundaries between artwork and architecture?
AL I have become increasingly interested in the blurred intersections between art and architecture. This has resulted in a series of collaborative projects where it is difficult to define where the art stops and the architecture begins. This work intrudes into and interacts with specific interior or exterior architectural spaces often using the idea of the body as a unit of construction. Although Mirror does not seek to question the boundaries between art and architecture per se there are architectural elements inherent in its evolution.
As with all the reflection works Mirror responds to the architectural spaces in which it is placed—the reflected image changes according to the time of day, etc. It uses simple industrial materials associated with the construction of buildings to create complex spatial experiences.
The wall is a fundamental architectural element. Mirror uses the wall as both a support and a field in which to operate. In doing this it relates to a long line of artistic interventions in interior architectural space, including Constructivism and Minimalism.

Comments: The mounting screw nut looks way too far forward on the bill to be stable without really tightening down the hat itself because the weight of the camera will want to push the bill down. Not sure but looks like that would make it uncomfortable. Might want to relocate mount screw closer to the hat brim to offset the weight in-balance from the camera. I built one myself and that's the only way it could be made to work comfortably with my Canon Elph.

The first automobile bearing the Mazda name was introduced in the 1960s. Mazda quickly developed the rotary engine and their first pick-up truck by the end of the decade. In 1970, Mazda begin importing and selling cars in America with the introduction of the RX-2. The RX-3 and RX-4 followed later in the decade, and by the 1979 Mazda was selling the Mazda RX-7, which would become a staple of their line.
Throughout the 1980s and 1990s Mazda continued to build their brand and develop their reputation for creating vehicles which were fun to drive. The Mazda 323 and 626 were introduced in the 80s, but Mazda's biggest victory came in the 90s with the introduction of the Mazda MX-5 Miata convertible. Over the years, the Miata has steadily sold, making it the best-selling roadster in the world.
Today Mazda offers ten vehicles for buyers to choose from. In the 2000s they unveiled the popular CX-9 SUV and Mazda 2 hatchback. Both vehicles have introduced a new segment of the population to Mazda. The Mazda 3 and MX-5 Miata remain two of the company's most popular sellers. Nearly every Mazda today features some version of their revolutionary rotary engine, which is efficient, powerful, and reliable. Mazda has remained an innovator, focusing in recent years on reducing the fuel consumption of their vehicles while maintaining the performance, speed, and exhilarating drive the company has always been known for.

Foreclosure Inventory Falls 28% to Close 2013
Foreclosure and seriously delinquent inventories at the close of 2013 reached their lowest levels in six years, according to data from Black Knight Financial Services.
The total U.S. loan delinquency rate was 6.47% in December, up .26% from the previous month. Even though the volume of loans 30 or more days past due, but not in foreclosure, rose on a monthly basis, the overall trend for 2013 was still one of improvement as delinquencies fell by 9.85% from a year ago.
The number of delinquent properties across the country is at 3.2 million, the Jacksonville, Fla.-based firm revealed. Additionally, there are more than 1.2 million loans deemed to be 90 or more days delinquent but not in foreclosure.
Mississippi, New Jersey, Florida, New York and Louisiana had the highest percentage of noncurrent loans.
The states with the fewest amounts of delinquent loans were Montana, Colorado, Alaska, South Dakota and North Dakota. �
Meanwhile, the inventory of loans in foreclosure nationwide stands at more than 1.2 million through the end of December, which represents a year-over-year change of approximately 28%.
On a monthly basis, the foreclosure pre-sale inventory rate only fell by .74%.
Loans in foreclosure have been past due for an average of 920 days, Black Knight Financial says.
On a positive note, foreclosure starts were down 23% for the year, the analytic provider noted.
This mortgage performance statistics information is derived from Black Knight Financial Services, formerly Lender Processing Services, loan-level database representing approximately 70% of the overall market. �

By Debra Atlas
April 22, 2012
Since 1900, Louisiana has lost more than 1 million acres of wetlands and barrier shoreline. In just the past 50 years, more than 1,500 square miles of coastal Louisiana disappeared. The state could lose an additional 1,000 square miles of land by 2050– an area roughly the size of Rhode Island.
Since the oil spill of 2010, there has been some marshland die-off in critical marine life habitat areas like Barataria Basin. Birds and animals flock to the smaller islands of Barataria to mate and give birth. These islands were heavily oiled, resulting also in partial washing away in those areas. Clean up concerns had to be balanced with the potential for causing further erosion. A lot of vegetation was removed because it was heavily oiled. Despite this, some of it has already grown back on its own.
"We walked a fine line in terms of clean-up," says Chris Macaluso, Coastal Outreach Coordinator for the Louisiana Wildlife Federation.
Clean up can never quite turn back the clock either. Oil is bubbling up to the surface in wetlands that were cleaned during the days after the oil spill. Further restoration is needed, but getting the funding for it is a huge project.
"We have to get the Restore Act passed in Congress. It's critical to the future of coastal restoration in Louisiana," says Scott Madere, Communications Director for the Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana.
The smaller habitats are supposed to be assessed by the Natural Resource Damage Assessment process, with hopes that some of them can be restored. After the assessment process, the idea is to get BP to pay directly for those damages.
Meanwhile, the state legislature is working on a thorough, scientifically-based Coastal Restoration Master Plan. It outlines fifty years of coastal restoration efforts that are designed to reconnect the Mississippi River with the Mississippi River Delta. Madere says they are optimistic about it, and that there is little opposition to its passage from the legislature.
On the federal level, Madere believes the Restore Act, if passed, would do wonders. There is also the possibility of billions of dollars from Clean Water Act fines and penalties being awarded to Louisiana. Madere emphasizes how high the stakes are for not just Lousiana, but all of America.
"When something goes wrong here, it goes wrong for the entire country," he says.
Preserving the integrity to the lower Mississippi River is critical to our national security and to our shipping interests. The Louisiana coast features major navigation and ports that are important to the Midwest and to areas that flow into the Mississippi River. Cargoes are shipped around the world from this coast.
Then there are the fisheries. The Gulf is among the nation's lead areas for commercial fishing and for shrimp and crab exports.
Perhaps most importantly, Lousiana's saltwater marsh and freshwater swamps are unique ecosystems that are not found anywhere else in the world.
"This land is precious to our culture and our identity," says Madere.

Vee neck
100% soft Lambswool
Machine washable (wool programme.)
Ideal for the golf course
Medium weight 10 gauge fabric
Soft and durable fabric
"Relaxed classic Unisex fit
Versatile all year round garment
IMPORTANT SIZING NOTE- Our Unisex sizing is cut very generously; ladies order a size smaller than the female equivalent. Gents we don't stock XXXL as our XXL is huge! Please double check our unique sizing guide for the garment dimensions
We want your WoolOvers to last just as much as you do (we have our reputation to uphold!) so here is our guide to prolonging the life of your knitwear. Follow these steps and your garments should last for years to come!
All of our fabrics are a blend of natural protein fibres and knitted from machine-washable yarn. Wash them on a wool program, using a non-bio detergent at a maximum spin speed of 600 rpm.
Many biological detergents contain wool-eating enzymes. Never use biological detergents or stain removers on Wool, Silk or Cashmere fibres because the enzymes will literally digest the fabric and you may end up with unsightly holes!
Afraid not. Those that contain bleach will lead to progressive fading and may weaken the fabric, again leading to holes.
Wool and natural fibre detergents are available at all supermarkets. Many sell Woolmark-approved own brand products. Other good brands include Dreft, Persil Silk and Wool, Woolite, Stergene and Ecover Wool Wash.
Most of our knitwear is machine washable, there are some newer styles that are hand wash only. Please see wash label for washing instructions.
REMEMBER: to increase the life of your WoolOvers, use a slow spin (600 rpm or less) and a low temperature (30° max.) to avoid stretching, shrinking and matting of the fibres.
Our cotton blends will be fine in your tumble dryer, but avoid direct heat on the woollens. These should be reshaped and allowed to dry naturally.
TIP: Keep them supported to maintain their shape, a broad banister can be ideal, or simply lay flat, ensuring you rotate it.
