Three-Term New York Mayor Oversaw Financial Recovery
Ed Koch, a feisty and witty, Bronx-born Democrat who won three terms as mayor of New York and developed into an international personality, oversaw the city's financial recovery in the late 1970s only to see it shudder a decade later in the face of AIDS and a crack-cocaine epidemic.
As mayor, Mr. Koch, who died at age 88 Friday in New York, hosted heads of state and used City Hall as a bully pulpit to advocate for foreign-policy priorities, particularly those supportive of Israel.
New York faced myriad difficulties when Mr. Koch joined a crowded field of Democratic rivals running for mayor in 1977. High crime and a five-borough blackout followed by looting that summer made it seem nearly ungovernable, and a serial killer who called himself "Son of Sam" was at large. Arson then flared in the Bronx as the Yankees defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers in the World Series. Worst of all, the city's finances were still in crisis after a brush with default in 1975.
Ed Koch: Giant of New York City Politics
Mr. Koch, who earlier in the race had polled 2%, harnessed a so-called "blackout backlash" to defeat incumbent mayor Abe Beame and archrival Mario Cuomo and win the election.
Edward Irving Koch balanced the city's budget, restored its credit and helped revive the confidence of New Yorkers. Over 12 years in office, he replaced the patronage appointment of judges with a system of merit selection— a reform he called his proudest achievement—and launched $5.1 billion in city-funded affordable-housing construction, rebuilding neighborhoods gutted by arson.
"His love of the city, I think, is what made him a great mayor," said Mr. Cuomo, who later beat Mr. Koch in the 1982 race for governor. "It gave him a force, a special force that enabled him to work harder…and do more than most mayors could do."
Mr. Koch's headstone, placed at Trinity Church Cemetery in upper Manhattan, is inscribed with the words of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl, spoken shortly before he was killed in 2002 by militants in Pakistan: "My father is Jewish, my mother is Jewish, I am Jewish." Mr. Koch, who described himself as a secular Jew, said he selected the quote because "that's me, too."
Mr. Koch's father, a furrier from Poland, lost his business in the Depression and moved the family to Newark, N.J. His son was drafted at 19 into the Army in World War II, earning two battle stars. He later studied at New York University School of Law and went into private practice.
Mr. Koch got his start in New York City politics in the early 1960s as a reform Democrat, ousting Carmine DeSapio, the head of Tammany Hall, from his position as Democratic district leader in a party primary in Manhattan's Greenwich Village. He was elected to the City Council in 1966 and two years later was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives, serving for nine years.
On Friday mornings, he would stand at subway stations, handing out literature. People rushed right past him. He recalled: "And then serendipitously one day I said, 'I'm Ed Koch. I'm your congressman. How'm I doing?' And people stopped to tell me!"
Mr. Koch said he was by nature shy, but as mayor he developed a style that was boisterous and blunt, offering stories that made people laugh. "The mayor is not a coward—and the mayor is also not a schmuck," Mr. Koch said when he refused to pose for a photo with a tiger.
"He was New York," said John LoCicero, a chief political aide for Mr. Koch and a longtime friend
Mr. Koch's sexual orientation, which he refused to discuss publicly, became a point of discussion in his career, including during the AIDS crisis and during the 1977 mayoral primary, when a campaign poster appeared with an anti-gay slogan. Mr. Koch maintained that responding would legitimize the question and could lead to discrimination against gay people in states where discrimination because of sexual orientation hadn't been outlawed. "I take the position, 'It's none of your business,'" he said.
One of his political high points came on the first morning of a public-transit strike in 1980. As the mayor plotted strategy he looked out the window and saw thousands of people walking across the Brooklyn Bridge. He rushed to join them, shouting, "Walk over the bridge! We're not going to let these b— bring us to our knees!" The labor dispute was resolved 10 days later, with transit workers receiving a pay raise far less than they initially demanded. Mr. Koch's hard line helped him in later negotiations with New York's police, fire and sanitation workers.
His third term was overshadowed by municipal corruption scandals, though Mr. Koch wasn't directly implicated. Still, toward the end of his mayoralty, one community after another seemed to turn on him. Blacks were alienated by his remark that Jews would have to be "crazy" to vote for presidential hopeful Rev. Jesse Jackson. The Irish voters were outraged when he visited Northern Ireland and lauded British troops there for "safeguarding the peace."
After his failure to win a fourth term, Mr. Koch remained a public figure, writing novels and memoirs, reviewing movies and serving as a television judge on "The People's Court." Always weight-conscious, he became a spokesman for the UltraSlimFast diet program—and for Dunkin' Donuts. A documentary about the former mayor, called "Koch," opened Friday in theaters in New York.
Mr. Koch carried on a political feud with New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani and lobbied New York state government for ethics reform. In 2011, he helped get a Republican congressman elected in New York as rebuke to the Democratic Party's stance on Israel.
Even when his passions ran against public opinion, he was tolerated. He had attained the status of a cranky but beloved elder statesman.

327 House members tell Obama to make U-turn on US-Israeli relations
posted at 10:00 am on March 28, 2010 by Ed Morrissey
Barack Obama talks a lot about the "spirit of bipartisanship." Now he's had a chance to see it for himself, thanks to a series of diplomatic fumbles between the White House and Israel, usually one of America's closest allies. More than three-quarters of the US House of Representatives signed a letter expressing dismay over the direction of the alliance, warning that the "highly publicized tensions" aren't helping America's interests:
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu will continue discussions with his senior ministers in the coming days, looking for a way out of the crisis with the US. He received some badly needed support on Friday from 327 congressmen, who signed a letter expressing concern that "the highly publicized tensions" in US-Israeli ties will "not advance the interests" of either state. …
Meanwhile, in Washington, [327] congressmen – three-quarters of the House of Representatives – signed a bipartisan letter to US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton expressing solid support for Israel and the expectation that differences between Jerusalem and Washington will be smoothed over quickly and in private.
"We are writing to reaffirm our commitment to the unbreakable bond that exists between our country and the State of Israel and to express to you our deep concern over recent tension," the letter read. "A strong Israel is an asset to the national security of the United States and brings stability to the Middle East.
"We are concerned that the highly publicized tensions in the relationship will not advance the interests the US and Israel share. Above all, we must remain focused on the threat posed by the Iranian nuclear weapons program to Middle East peace and stability."
The letter stated that the US's unswerving commitment to Israel's security has been essential in forging previous Israeli-Arab peace agreements, "both because it convinced those who sought Israel's destruction to abandon any such hope and because it gave successive Israeli governments the confidence to take calculated risks for peace."
The letter's lead signatories were Eric Cantor (R-VA) and Steny Hoyer (D-MD). The letter had only circulated for three days last week before garnering 327 signatures, probably the most bipartisan effort seen on Capitol Hill in this session of Congress. It provides a measure of just how far out of the mainstream the Obama administration has gotten on relations with Israel.
Moreover, they're entirely correct. Thanks to what amounts to a reversal of 20 years of American policy on settlements in Jerusalem, Obama has given the Palestinians a reason to refuse to come to the table that Israel simply can't address. Obama has made peace a lot less likely than it was fifteen months ago by throwing his tantrum in such a public manner. Weakening Israel won't bring peace — it will bring more attacks on Israel as Palestinians begin to believe that the US won't back its ally any longer.
Jennifer Rubin believes Obama's fumble was by design, or at least by instinctual hostility towards Israel. With advisers like Samantha Power at the White House, that hostility was known long before Obama got elected. Accidental, latent, or overt, Obama's hostility towards a key democracy in the most strategic part of the world has raised eyebrows of both Republicans and Democrats on Capitol Hill — perhaps belatedly, but not too late to put some serious pressure for this administration to grow the hell up.

Project Match director to speak on leaving welfare, Nov. 25
Posted November 22, 2002; 06:32 p.m.
The founder of a research and service welfare-to-work program will present a lecture on "Welfare Recipients' vs. Welfare Agencies' Barriers: A Chicken/Egg Debate" on Monday, Nov. 25. Toby Herr, director of Project Match, will speak at 4:30 p.m. in 016 Robertson Hall.
Project Match serves the Cabrini-Green and West Haven communities in Chicago. The research portion of Project Match is affiliated with the Erikson Institute, a graduate school and research center for the study of child development, where Herr is a senior research associate and a member of the board of trustees.
In 1999, Project Match was named by the Annie E. Casey Foundation as one of its "Families Count" honorees. This award is given to programs that embody the principles of family strengthening by enhancing opportunities for families and children who live outside the economic and social mainstream.
Herr also currently consults with and provides training to several welfare programs nationwide. Prior to founding Project Match in 1985, she served as an elementary school teacher in Cabrini-Green for nine years.
The lecture is sponsored by the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs .

Last week, the six-month interim agreement between Iran and the P5+1 countries to freeze Iran's nuclear program went into effect. As the U.S. and its allies now prepare to negotiate a permanent agreement with Tehran, the Obama administration should review the status of the last bilateral agreement between the U.S. and Iran—the Algiers Accords, signed 33 years ago this month and still in force but now largely obsolete.
The accords, negotiated in the waning days of the Carter administration and signed on Jan. 19, 1981, the day before President Reagan's inauguration, are best known for producing the release of the 52 American hostages held captive in Iran. But the agreement also created an international claims tribunal in The Hague to resolve the complex contractual and property disputes between the two countries.
The Iran-U.S. Claims Tribunal, which began operation in July 1981, was expected to decide all claims within a few years, yet it remains in operation three decades later. While the tribunal has performed well as a claims settlement mechanism, it has outlived its original purpose, is expensive to operate, and remains a symbol of the nadir in U.S.-Iranian relations.

Nephrocalcinosis is a disorder in which there is too much calcium deposited in the kidneys. This condition is common in premature babies.
Any disorder that leads to high levels of calcium in the blood or urine may lead to nephrocalcinosis. In nephrocalcinosis, calcium deposits form in the kidney tissue itself. Most of the time, both kidneys are affected.
Nephrocalcinosis is related to, but not the same as, kidney stones (nephrolithiasis).
Conditions that can cause nephrocalcinosis include:
Other possible causes of nephrocalcinosis include:
There are generally no early symptoms of nephrocalcinosis beyond those of the condition causing the problem.
People who also have kidney stones may have:
Later symptoms related to nephrocalcinosis may be associated with chronic kidney failure.
Nephrocalcinosis may be discovered when symptoms of
Imaging tests can help diagnose this condition. Tests that may be done include:
Other tests that may be done to diagnose and determine the severity of associated disorders include:
The goal of treatment is to reduce symptoms and prevent more calcium from collecting in the kidneys.
Treatment will involve methods to reduce abnormal levels of calcium, phosphate, and oxalate in the blood and urine.
If you take medicine that causes calcium loss, your doctor will usually tell you to stop taking it. Never stop taking any medicine before talking to your doctor.
Other symptoms, included kidney stones, should be treated as appropriate.
What to expect depends on the complications and cause of the disorder.
Proper treatment may help prevent further deposits in the kidneys. However, there is usually no way to remove deposits that have already formed. Extensive deposits of calcium in the kidneys do NOT always mean severe damage to the kidneys.
Call your health care provider if you know you have a disorder that causes high levels of calcium in your blood and urine, or if you develop symptoms of nephrocalcinosis.
Prompt treatment of disorders that lead to nephrocalcinosis, including renal tubular acidosis, may help prevent it from developing.

VIDEO: The trailer for Drag Me To Hell
Sam Raimi and producer Rob Tapert here return to the gonzo slapstick horror of their classic Evil Dead trio — and this time they show the kiddos you don't need buckets of blood to scare the bejabbers out of an audience. (A cascade of vomited cockroaches will do.)
Raimi embraces hoary clichés like Gypsy curses and gateways to Hades in this cautionary tale for financial professionals. Loan officer Christine — a sweetie who volunteers at a puppy clinic — doesn't want to repossess poor old Mrs. Ganush's house, but she covets a promotion to assistant manager. The deed done, Mrs. G. conjures a vengeful demon that attacks Christine in myriad guises — most memorably free-flying parts of the grotesque granny's body.
Raimi's devilish wit and masterful use of shadow, sound, and silence make it folly to predict when or how the spirit will appear. And Alison Lohman is hilariously beleaguered as Christine, who's forced to rejigger her ideas about things like blood sacrifice if it'll chase the demon out of her life.

Back from a week of low-tech work/holiday. I keep feeling more and more that I should finally start making a picture organizer after my own taste. I seem to be behind some kind of threshold that I should get past in order to start hacking anything. Instead I'm reading, practising for Bujinkan and watching the snow pile up and temperature creep down outside.
GT4 release date here is only a few weeks away, I believe. Would be nice to finally get that. I hope the non-driving related components have improved as they were really irritating in an otherwise great simulation.
Firefox still doesn't accept mozex. At least some other extensions and features work and help remove some of the netrape braindeadness. Every time I hit ^U to erase a text field I get homicidal. Otherwise the new release looks acceptable.

* Need to add irqpoll to kernel boot parameters for normal boot, otherwise you experience either very slow boot or sometimes impossible to boot, just hangs. (tested this on 4 units i have deployed). This is something to do with the SATA setup)
* Currently have only one tuner of the dual tuners working. You have to check out the v4l-dvb latest source using mercurial, and then make and install it, then add to /etc/modprobe.d/options the line:
cx23885 card=4
This gets one of the dual tuners working at present.
Other than this everything works great!

Apart from my LVM becoming corrupt due to (I think) a faulty PSU, all working, and improving with every update.
Update: I ended up taking out the 8500gt as I didn't realise that the underscan/overscan feature was not available with the 8 series NVIDIA cards. I am outputting to a 32 inch WS CRT at the moment and the overscan makes it unwatchable. I am now running a second-hand 7600gt I swapped for the 8500gt with a mate. Not happy, but what can you do...? Getting a 42inch LCD sometime in the near future. That should cheer me up.
Update 2: Now have my Sony Bravia 46". The 8500gt problem mentioned above is no longer an issue.
Update 3: Since Mythtv 0.21 I have dumped the LVM and moved to storage directories. I now sleep much better instead of worrying about losing all my recordings to a faulty HD.
Update 4 : Upgraded the processor on the backend from a X2 3800+ to a X2 4200+ because I had one lying around. Also upgraded from 1 gb ram to 2.5gb of ram on the backend as the backend was running out of memory under certain circumstances (not anymore).

"Do more than is required of you"
General George S. Patton
I think I understand the basic genetics of coat color in the LR, that determined by the B, b, E and e alleles, thoroughly; but sometimes this may not be enough.
I have a 2+ year old black LR from a black (BBEE per Vetgen) x black (BBEe or BbEe per breeding results) breeding. His undercoat fur is brown and some guard hair (in the area where the upper and lower lips meet) shows a reddish brown tint. This isn't so easy for me to figure.
I found a hint, maybe, at the vetgen site: http://vetgen.com/canine-coat-color.html where they show a pathway to solid black or brown color through the various K and A alleles. I wondering if this is what I'm seeing in this pup. Any one have any ideas? I presume this color anomaly is NOT very common in black Labs but folks here have seen many more than I.
"Somehow this creature has completed my manhood; somehow, I cannot explain why, a man ought to have a dog. A man ought to have six legs; those other four legs are part of him." -G.K. Chesterton
Concentration or shade of yellow (or chocolate for that matter) IS more difficult to understand, but the overall picture of black, yellow, chocolate is easy peasy
Thanks everyone for the info. It has been very helpfull.
Lord help me to be the person my dog thinks I am.

When did it become ok to breed to recessive gene dogs?
Is the reddish sheen you're seeing on the guard hair, the undercoat or both? I'm wondering if the brown folks see when the black dog "blows its coat" is really brown underfur that isn't noticed until it is coming out with coat change? I that case this may be more common in Labs. than commonly thought.
The brownish color I'm seeing on this dog's body is from the brown underfur not the guard hair. This difference between the guard hair and undercoat colors is what has me stumped. I haven't found any discussions of this yet. Probably I should pursue the discussions I started with the vetgen geneticist a little more and maybe get the full color gene panel run - including K and A as well as B and E.
If it is really rare in LRs I'd be thinking of doing the mixed breed testing too.

La Perla celebrates first Australian boutique opening at Sydney Airport
World renowned Italian lingerie brand, La Perla, has opened the doors to its first Australian-based boutique in Sydney Airport's International Terminal (T1), further expanding the terminal's luxury retail offering. The store has been brought to Australia by King Power International, a leading retailer of specialist stores in airports worldwide.
Passengers travelling through T1 can now explore the full range of delicate underpinnings, stylish beachwear and elegant nightwear – as well as the Nero Perla men's range – in the new 60 square metre store and enjoy tax and duty free prices.
The space is La Perla's 130th store worldwide since Ada Masotti founded her Italian company in 1954. The name La Perla is inspired by the jewel-lined case with red velvet in which Ada's first creations were transported.
The brand is now a global icon of fashion and luxury, renowned for its exceptional craftsmanship and use of the finest fabrics to create garments adored by fashion conscious shoppers around the world.
"Our new Sydney Airport store, the first of its kind in Australia, has been designed to reflect the romantic and intimate experience we aim to deliver to all our customers around the world. The new store at the airport will build on the current success of the La Perla brand in Australian domestic department stores by extending our reach to the exciting on-airport retail market," La Perla Creative Director, Giovanni Bianchi, said.
Sydney Airport General Manager Retail, Andrew Gardiner, said Sydney Airport was excited to be delivering an Australian first to its international terminal.
"We're delighted to be delivering more choice to our international passengers by introducing this respected lingerie brand to our international terminal. We're excited that Sydney Airport is the only place in Australia where customers can shop for the full La Perla range at tax and duty free prices while also experiencing the full La Perla brand experience.

Track Foreprint and hindprint like narrow split hearts, with pointed end forward. Male prints 3 1/4" (80 mm) long, female 2 3/8" (60 mm) long; walking stride 2224" (550600 mm). Tracks are smaller and narrower than those of Elk or Moose, and sometimes not distinguishable from those of White-tailed Deer. Distinctive bounding gait ("stotting"), with all 4 feet coming down together, forefeet printing ahead of hindfeet.
Sign Browse marks, buck rubs, scrapes, bed, and droppings similar to those of White-tailed Deer. Bucks often strip bark from saplings when rubbing velvet from antlers. Twigs bitten off by these deer lack the neat, clipped-off look of twigs taken by rabbits and rodents.
Bed: Often leaves beds of flattened grass where it has slept. Examination often reveals sex: Both urinate upon rising, but doe first steps to one side; buck urinates in middle of bed.
Scat: Droppings are pellets, 1" (25 mm) or less long. Consistency and shape of scat vary with the season (clumps in spring when forage is moist, cylindrical pellets when moisture content of food is low).

By David Wheeler/Special to the NEMS Daily Journal
PONTOTOC – All the New Albany bats needed on Friday was one inning.
That inning just happened to be a drama-filled top of the seventh.
The Bulldogs plated two runs in its last at bat, edging the Pontotoc Warriors 2-1 to sweep their play-in series in the Class 4A playoffs.
"We're going into the seventh inning down 1-0, and we hadn't pressured them up to that point," New Albany coach John Walker said. "And we had our 7-8-9 guys coming up, who are capable guys.
"Then we had a flare that fell in, and that seemed to get us started."
That "flare" – a leadoff single by Grant Hogue to center – got it all started. Jimmy Baldon found another hole in the Pontotoc defense with an infield single to the left side.
After a ground out that advanced the runners to second and third, Jonah Zahller put an innocent slow roller into play to the right side of the infield. It turned out to be a perfect spot as Zahller reached base allowing one run to score, with another following on the same play on a throwing error.
"We came out and looked sharp early," Pontotoc coach Casey James said. "It just wasn't enough."
Pontotoc (16-11) put itself in a good position in the bottom of the second following a solo home run to left field by Trey Henry. That set up Pontotoc starting pitcher Chance Witt, who cruised through his first six innings of work, scattering three hits over that span.
New Albany (16-12) hurler Ben Foster had an effective outing as well, only allowing three hits over his seven innings on the mound.
"We had a guy go out to the mound who was efficient," Walker said. "That's what kept us in the game, gave us a chance to win."
New Albany advances to face Division 4-4A No. 1 seed Kosciusko. The best-of-three series begins Thursday at Kosciusko, with New Albany slated to host Game 2 on Friday.
Tish County advances
In Oxford, Blake McGuff threw an eight-winning no-hitter Friday as Tishomingo County defeated Lafayette to win its 4A series.
A.J. Roaten drove in the winning run for the Braves (20-10), who won Game 2 by a 4-1 score.
Tish County advances to play Cleveland next week.
Lafayette (19-10) won Game 1 on the road, 5-3.

LIBYA: Fighting hampers access to basic supplies in Misrata
From 22 to 24 April 2011, media reports indicate that 60 people were killed in the fighting in Misrata that has intensified despite Government forces stating that they would withdraw momentarily to allow for negotiations between tribal leaders and opposition forces. Over 10,000 people have been evacuated from the city, and as of 26 April over 13,000 people remained at transit points and camps in Egypt, Libya and Tunisia.
On 25 April, there was heavy shelling in the Misrata port area while a World Food Programme (WFP) ship was still unloading supplies. According to media reports, three residential districts were hit by over a dozen rockets and two schools were destroyed. Although there are sufficient stocks of basic supplies in Misrata, they are not always accessible due to the violence. There is also fear that given the conflict in western Libya, the overall piped water and sanitation systems are vulnerable to collapse should they be hit.
Fighting also continues in the Nafusa Mountain region, where at least 11 people have been killed between 24 and 26 April. NATO fired on targets in the area for the first time on 25 April. Estimates suggest that at least 30,000 refugees from the Nafusa Mountains have crossed into southern Tunisia, where reports indicate low levels of basic supplies, local resources and health structures for the influx of refugees.
The Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF) will provide some $1.5 million to support two WFP projects in Libya that will provide United Nations Humanitarian Air Service (UNHAS) flights and install emergency telecommunications services. The humanitarian response thus far also includes the Turkish Red Crescent's establishment of a bakery to distribute 100,000 loaves of bread to IDPs in Benghazi and WFP distribution of food for some 200,000 beneficiaries in eastern Libya.
According to OCHA's Financial Tracking Service, the $310 million Flash Appeal for the Libyan Crisis is currently only 42 per cent funded.

You are here
A panorama of marshscapes illuminates the Ashley River abode of Doug Warner and Truman Smith.
I didn't find the marsh attractive at all when I first moved here," says Doug Warner. "I thought, 'Why would anybody want to live near that?'"
The North Carolina native grins as he says this, because today he's sitting on the back porch of the two-story
Wagener Terrace home he shares with his partner, Truman Smith, and just beyond the two of them, a sprawling swath of shaggy golden reeds separates the house from the slate-blue waters of the Ashley River. Thanks to an infinity pool that takes up most of the backyard, from this vantage, the lot verily falls off into the tidal scene.
"But now," Doug confesses, "I'd rather be here than anywhere else. The marsh changes so much from season to season, and the views…." He pauses before continuing, "The light is always different, the tides change, the birds come and go…it's very calming. Sometimes in the middle of the night, I'll get up to just look out over it all."
It's a view he came to love over the course of his nearly 20 years in the Lowcountry. Known locally for his engaging skills as an auctioneer (he works pro bono and has helped raise some $8 million to date for everything from Spoleto to Trident Tech), the one-time soldier and Republican activist lived in another Wag-ener Terrace home on the Ashley for years, favoring the waterfront neighborhood's ideal location (a skip away from peninsula
amenities but not clogged with an influx of visitors or traffic), history, and continual evolution.
Just north of Hampton Park, where the circa-1786 Lowndes Grove plantation mansion resides, where a sprawling 1800s farm once thrived, and where middle-class Greek and Jewish families settled from 1910 to the mid-century, the tucked-away Wagener Terrace neighborhood is a stew of restored (and unrestored) bungalows and colonials. "It has that great character of an older neighborhood," says Doug, "and one that's got diversity—young families, older people, black and white folks—it's not homogenous."
As for Truman, an Alabama native who moved here from Dallas four years ago, he's amazed at how friendly Wagener Terrace (and Charleston in general) is. "There's something nice about being in a smaller community—you always run into people you know; it's more personal than being in a big city," adds Truman, who oversees the Texas-based Posey Family Foundation, is president of the South Carolina Log Cabin Republicans, and serves as the board chair of Darkness to Light.
In 2005, the pair embarked on something pretty bold for a couple new to sharing a zip code: they decided to build a house. "Our friends thought for sure we'd kill each other," laughs Doug. But to them, it made sense; instead of Truman simply moving his things into Doug's house, they wanted a home they could truly share.
The couple stuck with Wagener Terrace, opting for a piece of marshfront land considered part of the "King's Grant" property, which can be traced back to early Charleston land grants. Though only about one-third acre of the triangular lot is suitable for building, that was enough for Truman and Doug, who found a house plan they liked by Beaufort's Allison Ramsey Architects, tore down an existing 10-year-old garage-house, and had friends at Charleston's Dufford Young Architects modify the plans to frame their singular slice of Ashley River waterfront.
Over the next year, a five-bedroom, four-bath house sprouted up. It's laid out as straightforward, practical, and cozy as the owners themselves, with maximum views of the water. Entrance is by way of a main hall that leads to a handsome office—"We both work from home, so we spend plenty of time here and in a second workspace upstairs," says Truman—and a kitchen-meets-bar-meets-family-room area. "Isn't the kitchen where all parties end up?" he adds. "It is for us. We may not cook much, but we definitely use the space for entertaining."
Along the back, an expanse of windows and doors—with minimal panes to provide unobstructed marshscapes—makes up the far wall. Beyond that, there lies a deep, wraparound porch littered with rocking chairs and settees that beg for sit-a-spell visits.
Upstairs, the pair sacrificed guest room square footage to add more depth to the master suite, which also sports a nearly unobstructed view over the Ashley and a porch with a hanging bed, known as "the best place to read in the house," according to Doug. Toss in a spacious dressing room and a steam shower with a tile floor that mimics a mosaic pattern the well-traveled pair saw abroad, and it's an enviable set-up. Interior designer and friend Carol Lund stepped in to help streamline their look, which features a neutral, masculine palette; dark wood furniture; hand-woven rugs; and natural materials like hides and leather.
But you can hardly begrudge the two, because one, they truly appreciate their home; two, they share it so often with friends, family, and occasionally, charities (thanks to parties they host); and three, Doug and Truman have accented the place with personal touches at every turn. "The house is comfortable whether it's just us or we're having a bunch of people over. There's nothing in it that we feel like, 'Oh God, that can't get messed up.' It's a place where we live and work and enjoy being with friends."
Water Lessons
Building on a marshfront, riverside lot demands some savvy designing. Here are a few tips Truman and Doug picked up along the way.
- Make a mildew-proof miracle: Instead of haint blue on the porch ceilings, they stained the beadboard there and coated it with boat-quality varnish to protect it from mildew and to cut down on touch-ups.
- Keep it cool: Porch fans on the river side sometimes swing so much during windy seasons that blades break from smacking the ceiling. Tightening the suspension helps.
- Employ scare tactics: Birds love to congregate in the pool, but leave their mark with droppings and meal debris. Floating a few colorful beach balls on the surface has cut down on the problem since the ever-moving spheres act as scarecrows.
- Maximize opportunities: Skipping panes on the porch-front glass doors provides unmarred views of the marsh and water.
- Purge pests: The near-constant breeze keeps the porch and house bug-free and eliminates the need for screens on doors and windows.

By Ginna Parsons/NEMS Daily Journal
On Friday afternoon, longtime Journal copy editor Judy Putt was taken from the newsroom by ambulance to the North Mississippi Medical Center. She had been complaining of a headache that worsened to the point that she was in tears.
The first report we got was swollen sinuses. Then it was a blood clot. By the time she got to Methodist Hospital in Memphis, it was a brain aneurysm. The doctors did everything they could, but the bleeding wouldn't stop, and Judy died in surgery early Sunday morning.
I cannot begin to tell you how much we will miss Judy Putt at the Journal, both personally and professionally. She was the most detailed, organized person I've ever known – she was always leaving herself yellow sticky notes – and her creativity showed on the Food, Health, Home & Garden, and Living pages she designed.
She had the kindest, gentlest soul and an unforgettable laugh. Not a day went by that she didn't tell a funny story about her husband, Jerry, or a sibling or her nephew, Chris, or one of her animals. Lord, she loved her animals. We used to joke that if we came back in another life, we'd want to come back as one of Judy Putt's dogs!
Judy loved to cook and she was always trying new recipes. Many are the times I've shared lunch in the breakroom with Putt – that's what a lot of us called her – and talked about what we cooked the night before, what we were going to cook that weekend or what we'd cooked that we would never, ever try again.
She was known at the Journal for one particular dish she made for two special occasions: general election night and Christmas snack day. It's a spicy chili cheese dip Putt called LBJ Dip. And as editorial page editor Joe Rutherford reminded me, it's the only spicy thing she ever made for us because she generally didn't enjoy spicy food. I don't know if I ever had the recipe, so former Journalite Beth Bunch emailed it to me.
Judy always tripled the recipe and brought the dip in a big Crock-Pot with bags of Fritos Scoops. It never lasted very long.
But her legacy will.
Putt's LBJ Dip
1 pound hot sausage
1 can chili without beans
1 pound Velveeta, cubed
In a large skillet, cook the sausage until browned and drain off grease. Add the chili and the cheese and cook until cheese has melted. Transfer to a Crock-Pot to keep warm. Serve with Fritos Scoops.

Horse Wormers
Worms are parasites that compromise your horse's health. Various types of worms attack the many systems of your horse's body, causing damage to the mouth, stomach, intestines, lungs, blood and skin, and compromising the horse's immune system.

Philippines: Hope amidst the ruins of Bohol
A joint OCHA/Government assessment team found severe damage in Carmen, the town at the epicentre of the earthquake that shook the central-Philippine island of Bohol on Tuesday (15 October). They also found a doctor who was determined to keep delivering for her patients in extraordinary circumstances.
The earthquake struck Bohol early in the morning, triggering landslides that engulfed entire homes. It ripped apart bridges and tore down centuries-old churches. Current estimates suggest that more than 140 people have been killed, with up to 3 million affected including almost 40,000 who have lost their homes.
The team, including OCHA staff and employees of the Department of Social Welfare and Development, visited 24 of Carmen's 29 barangays (neighbourhoods) and found only three injuries and no deaths, although the situation is still critical. More than half of all homes have been damaged or destroyed. As a result, people are now sleeping in the open, without power or access to clean water.
In the grounds of the local health clinic, they met Dr. Josephine Jambonillo, an obstetrician. She was in the clinic when the earthquake struck, tending to four new mothers and their babies. The quake brought the ceiling of the clinic down, but Dr. Josephine managed to get the women and their babies out into the open and to safety.
That was not the end of Dr. Josephine's day. The stress of the earthquake saw a string of women begin to go into labour throughout the day and night. "We were lucky it is almost a full moon," she told the OCHA team. "There is no electricity and I worked all night delivering nine babies."
Some of the mothers gave birth outside the medical unit while others delivered in an ambulance. There are two more mothers waiting to give birth today. By the time the OCHA team arrived, Dr. Josephine had been working non-stop for 24 hours.
"We are in touch with UNFPA (the United Nations Population Fund – the agency that has supported the clinic) with a request from Dr. Josephine for emergency lights, antibiotics and obstetrics kits," said David Carden, OCHA's Head of Office in the Philippines. "In the midst of the damage, not only did we find there was no life lost in Carmen, but we found new life here."
The beginnings of a response
In all, more than 30 evacuation centres have been opened and are housing more than 30,000 people. With rainfall expected in the coming days, living conditions are expected to deteriorate.
The Philippines Red Cross has mobilized teams of staff and volunteers to carry out initial assessments and begin to provide assistance. More teams are being readied for deployment. The World Food Programme has pre-positioned stockpiles of food and supplies ready for distribution, and the government has released about US$232,000 to buy relief materials.

Shares of Micron Technology (MU) are down 64 cents, or 3%, at $21.02, following a bunch of mixed reports this morning.
There was one downgrade of the shares, from RBC Capital Markets's Doug Freedman, who cut his rating on the shares to Sector Perform from Outperform, writing that "While we remain in the camp that the memory industry is, and stands to be, a better place, MU valuation appears ahead of fundamental improvements."
In fact, there are risks, he thinks, that "could result in a reset to bullish expectations," specifically a miss on consensus expectations for the company to ultimately reach a rate of $3 per share in annual earnings. (Current consensus calls for $2.14 per share in the fiscal year ending August):
We largely expect a solid beat to NovQ estimates as we see EPS at $0.48 vs. Street at $0.43. While estimates could go higher for FebQ we simply
believe that 1H estimates could eventually reset given weakness in the Smartphone market and potential correct in the tablet market [...] Risks loom for 1HCY14. We believe MU's DRAM segment (via Elpida's mobile DRAM exposure) is susceptible to a -30% Q/Q order reduction at Apple (AAPL) in CQ1. Mobile exposure should account for ~25% of sales in early CQ1 (as seen in the chart below). In addition, we believe that Micron is more susceptible to the recent softness in spot market pricing (vs. SanDisk) as its newer 16nm at Singapore sell into the spot until quality improves and customers qualify. Lastly, we highlight that given ramp of NAND at SK Hynix post-fire and MU's Singapore (expecting an incremental 30K wafers) there is added risk of above-seasonal pricing erosion.
Freedman cut his November-ending fiscal Q1 estimate to $3.7 billion and 48 cents from a prior $3.8 billion and 50 cents, and cut his February outlook to $3.6 billion and 40 cents from $3.9 billion and 64 cents. His full-year fiscal '14 estimate goes to $14.78 billion in revenue and $1.96 in EPS from a prior $16.1 billion and $2.66, below consensus for $15.1 billion and $2.11.
The revised November estimate still suggests a bottom-line beat for Micron versus the consensus for 44 cents.
Micron is expected to report results on January 7th, after market close.
On the other hand, Drexel Hamilton's Richard Whittington reiterates a Buy rating today, and a $30 price target, and raises his estimates, writing that "Persistent daily increases in DRAM spot prices suggest even tighter supply-demand equation than we'd previously fathomed."
Given what he perceives as a "broad upturn in electronics demand," writes Whittington, "While incremental new capacity will eventually respond to heightened margins, that required to materially impact pricing remains over a year off."
"Thus, Micron's DRAM gross margins will remain high longer than previously estimated, driving overall margin and EPS through FY2015."
Whittington raised his EPS estimate for fiscal '14 to $2.57 from $2.51, and raised his 2015 outlook to $3.10 from $2.83.
And Credit Suisse's Jonathan Pitzer maintains an Outperform on the shares, and a $25 price target, as he also thinks a beat is in store for the November quarter, and for the February quarter as well. He thinks the company can deliver $2.91 per share in profit this fiscal year.
Whittington thinks supply and demand continue to remain favorable for the company this year:
Upside to Street for F1Q/F2Q is being driven by better than expected DRAM pricing, improved profitability from Elpida, more favorable Yen FX, and higher EPS from Inotera JV; somewhat offset by lower NAND pricing as MU ramps its Singapore Facility. Investors are clearly concerned by the re-ramp of capacity at Hynix Wuxi facility in C1Q – but we would argue only a limited impact as Wuxi represents NO NET new wafers, and inventory level appears lean especially in the PC market – we would also draw an analogy to HDD/Thailand floods which STRUCTURALLY reset profitability higher in HDDs even after supply disruptions ended. We continue to argue that memory in general and DRAM specifically are setup for a multi year re-valuation as structural supply growth slows and demand drivers accelerate
