Anson County Sheriff's Deputies arrested three suspects on various meth lab charges on Jan. 22.
Deputies had gone to the residence on Raintree Road that day looking for a suspect from Union County on felony larceny charges. When the suspect fled out the back door, he was arrested by deputies who noticed a great deal of debris in the yard that they suspected to be used in meth lab operations.
Deputies arrested Kenneth Michael Brower on warrants from Union County. Deputies also arrested Mickey Buddy Gulledge, 35, of Raintree Road, Jimmy Lee Hildreth, 22, of Hildreth Road; and Robert Christopher Lowery, age 42, of Lakeview Drive, all Wadesboro addresses. All three were charged with various counts of possession, manufacturing and distributing methamphetamine.
Gulledge was placed under a $200,000 bond, and Hildreth and Lowery were placed under $100,000 bonds.
Anson County Sheriff Tommy Allen said that this was one of the messiest lab scenes his officers have run across. "It basically appears that they just threw their waste, by-products and other used items out the back door into the back yard," he said. "From the cleanup it appears that this operation was ongoing for a while. It was a long cleanup time, most of the next day."
The sheriff said that he expects Brower will be charged when he is released from Union County. Other charges may also be pending against the above defendants as well.

When planning a wedding, couples must make scores of important decisions — from whom to invite to how to pay for it. Even the hardiest of partners can feel a little lost. Author Meg Keene's new book focuses on the meaning of marriage, at least as much as flowers and cake.


text: Why is Louisiana still one of the most obese states? With over 33% of adults considered obese in Louisiana according to the CDC's latest numbers, what's fueling the crisis? A new government survey shows 12 states, including Louisiana, now have very high obesity rates, despite 20 years of efforts to reverse that trend. "We have a culture that promotes eating and eating to excess unfortunately," says Dr. Melinda Sothern, Professor of Public Health at LSU Health Sciences Center. But she says, "It is very easy to take the type of food we eat in South Louisiana and make it healthy," by changing to healthier oils and changing some other unhealthy ingredients. She says our spices actually lend themselves to weight loss cooking, since they add a lot of flavor with no added calories. But the other big problem she says is that people don't believe what doctors are saying about the health effects of being overweight. (Recent studies have shown a link to cancer and obesity, in addition to other well known effects like diabetes and heart disease.) Dr. Sothern also directs the Health Promotion Program at LSUHSC and she says local people just don't believe that changing ingredients and not eating sugar will actually make a difference. "A lot of individuals believe that they inherited the problem." It was just seven years ago when no state in the nation had a obesity rate higher than 30%. Since 2009 the issue has intensified in America, and Louisiana has really seen a huge increase as experts say it's much more acceptable to be fat in this state. Dr. Sothern also says locally the obese are not believing what doctors are saying that making small changes to recipes and exercise habits will actually make a difference. Click here for the breakdown on Louisiana's stats. Overall, more than a third of adults are obese but rates vary by state. The latest figures are based on a 2011 telephone survey that asked adults their height and weight. For the first time, households with only cell phones were included. That's according to the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta, which released the figures on Monday. State rates remained about the same although states with very high rates went from nine to 12. At least 30 percent of adults are obese not only in Louisiana, but also in Alabama, Arkansas, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas and West Virginia. Colorado was lowest, at just under 21 percent, and Mississippi was highest at nearly 36 percent. Photo Credit: Photo by Tony Alter, licensed under Creative Commons with attribution

About Hanukkah Gift Ideas: London Blue Topaz Engagement Rings
Buying Guide
Engagement rings have been the ultimate symbol of love for thousands of years. In ancient Egypt, they wore rings on the third finger of the left hand to mark where the "vein of love" went directly to the heart, starting a tradition that continues today. When pledging your love with a unique engagement ring, you are starting your own family tradition. The most important value factor to consider when shopping for london blue topaz engagement rings is the quality of the center stone. Gemvara hand-selects top quality conflict-free gems that are expertly cut for maximum beauty. Dark and handsome, London blue topaz adds flair to any jewelry design. Its vivid dark blue hue is more intense than traditional blue topaz. Our unrivalled selection of engagement rings by Randy Dixon, Martha Gomez Gutierrez, Bijoux & Bijoux, and other talented jewelry designers means you can find an engagement ring that perfectly symbolizes your relationship. Clean london blue topaz engagement rings with mild dish soap: use a soft brush where dust collects. When taking off your engagement ring, don't pull on the gemstone: this won't damage the gem but it can, over time, stretch the metal that holds it in place, making the setting less secure. Be careful when removing your ring to wash your hands. Don't leave it on the rim of a sink where it can slip down the drain! Gemvara's fine quality london blue topaz engagement rings are designed to be passed down for generations to come, crafted by hand in the United States.
London Blue Topaz Quality
As intense as the sky at twilight, the vivid cyan of London blue topaz is much more dramatic than the traditional Swiss blue topaz color. Like all blue topaz, London blue owes its beautiful color to radiation. Once the rarest of topaz colors, blue is now both beautiful and surprisingly affordable. London blue is generally more expensive than lighter topaz shades, since its color is more difficult to produce.
Gemvara's London blue topaz is exceptionally cut to dance with brilliance. Because we make all of our jewelry to order, we can hand-select each London blue topaz one at a time to perfectly suit your design. Meticulously handcrafted with exceptional quality in the United States, Gemvara London blue topaz jewelry is designed to last.

The Surry Arts Council kicked off 2013-2014 fund drive yesterday afternoon by hosting a lunch event on the lower level of the Andy Griffith Museum.
The funds contributed during this fundraising period will help the Surry Arts Council continue funding arts in the community, assist with operating costs and expand the growing list of special events, programs and classes provided throughout the year.
The goal for the fundraiser, which will last until June 30, is $160,000. Prior to the kick-off event, $56,000 was raised.
The fund drive kick-off began with a performance by Surry Arts Council's Golden Notes adult chorale group, directed by Sylvia Lowry with accompanist Rebecca Pendleton. The Golden Notes meet every Tuesday at 10 a.m. on the lower level of the Andy Griffith Museum.
Volunteers in attendance worked on donor prospect lists and requests during the lunch, which was donated by Subway's Bill and Michell Juno and served by SAC staff and volunteers.
Alan Connolly, president of the Surry Arts Council Board, gave thanks to those in attendance and introduced Dan Harrison, chairman for the fund drive and vice president of Business Development at Renfro Corporation.
Harrison described the fund drive as a "big event" that provides the "life blood of the Surry Arts Council," which is in its 44th year of operation. He continued by highlighting several events and praising the recent WPAQ anniversary, which brought in around 600 people to the Earle Theatre for the birthday concert.
"Arts is an essential part of our community and it impacts just about everyone in Surry County. Through programs and events offered by Surry Arts Council, we can offer a promising economic development opportunity and excellent quality of life…we showcase the richness of life in the community through supporting the arts."
Harrison also said that the Surry Arts Council gives more than $200,000 each year through contracting and paying a wide variety of performers and artists in the community who participate in the special events, programs, jam sessions and concerts.
"We want to continue to thrive and make significant contributions to this vibrant arts community."
Surry Arts Council Executive Director Tanya Jones also addressed the attendees and recognized the staff and volunteers in attendance, as well as special guest Sonia Dickerson, who represented Surry County Schools.
Outside of the annual fund drive, Surry Arts Council raises an additional $50,000 devoted solely to school programming. Jones said part of the goal of the arts council is to "strengthen students in order to become better citizens and smarter graduates."
Jones also pointed out that the Surry Arts Council provides programs for people of all ages in the community, from the Golden Notes group, to a family with young children, both represented in the room by members of the Golden Notes group and Jennie Lowry Caudill, who was in attendance along with her children and her mother, Sylvia, director of the Golden Notes.
Along with enjoying the programs provided by the arts council, Caudill is also a part of the Downtown Business Association, which partners with the SAC for several events, including the annual Art Walk. Last year, the Art Walk brought in more than 65 artists to demonstrate their art in businesses throughout downtown Mount Airy.
During the fund drive kick-off, a photo presentation put together by Hobart Jones was displayed, which rotated through pictures from arts council programs held during 2012.
The Surry Arts Council has continued to thrive after 44 years serving the community. It has multiple events, classes and programs throughout the year, such as Mayberry Days, the weekly Merry-Go-Round, weekly jam sessions, the upcoming Tommy Jarrell Festival, Art Walk, Missoula Children's Theatre, multiple community theater performances, Arts Alive, summer camps, special concerts, movies, school programs, dance programs and classes, free weekly guitar and fiddle lessons for youth, photo workshops, art classes, preschool programs and special friends programs.
Surry Arts Council programs reach a weekly average of 2,500 people with an average of four programs per week.
The Surry Arts Council oversees programming at the Andy Griffith Playhouse, the Earle Theatre, the Andy Griffith Museum, the Old-Time Music Heritage Hall and the Blackmon Amphitheatre.
A visual arts director was added during 2012, Lizzie Morrison, who brought more of visual arts presence to the arts council. Morrison is the instructor for the popular Paint the Night Away monthly art classes, as well as private art lessons and lessons for kids and high school students.
In closing, Jones said she is "hugely proud" to be a part of an organization that is making a significant difference in the lives of so many people in the community.
Those wishing to support the Surry Arts Council by becoming a supporter and/or volunteer are welcome. Memberships begin at $10 and there are multiple donation levels. Further membership and programming information is available at www.surryarts.org or by calling 786-7998 or emailing firstname.lastname@example.com.

Go | New | Find | Notify | Tools | Reply |
What are yours from the past few seasons..... Misses: I used hollyhock and larkspur seeds for the first time this year. (I need something tall) Well, they came in.. but not in full, and what did come in was not all that impressive. Don't know if I'll try them again. Pleasant surprises: - GORGEOUS amaranthus...5 foot tall, full, large red/purple plumes of feather like flowers. Not the weeping kind. These are like tall full celosia. - I recently saw tall coleus. Again, gorgeous deep red purple. These must have been 3 feet tall. I didn't know they got that tall. If only they were perennial I still might try them. Have to make sure I get the tall ones though. - My friends snapdragons that returned. They may not be perennial but I night try them instead of the disappointing larkspur and hollyhock. | |||
What an interesting thread this is going to be. Disappointing misses - zinnias this year. No germination on saved seed or bought seed..weird. The only zinnia's I had were volunteers in both the beds and the veggie garden. Those in the veggie garden made for some interesting row shapes but I would not let hubby till them under. Another miss - two gift mandavilla vines, one overwintered last year, the other a Mothers Day gift this year. Neither grew much, nor bloomed this year...and I did keep them watered. Regarding the amaranthus - had disappointing results with it last summer...so did not plant this year. Agree, it is a beautiful plant. Love the leaf colors on the varigated too. Pleasant surprises - the Diamond Frost. Bought one plant a few years ago to use as a filler. Knowing that it wasn't winter hardy, I put it in the root cellar with the other plants for the winter....each year it has grown and performed beautifully - I've transplanted starts to other pots and even directly into the ground. The plume celosia and Lady in Red Salvia return every year to delight the eye and brighten the garden. Two of my summer favorites. ve | ||||
Disappointments...a LOT this year. My wisteria didn't bloom as full as usual, my Lady Banks rose didn't either...due to warm/cold/warm/cold weather in early spring. My zinnias were like VE's..the saved seed didn't want to germinate but I also had some volunteers. This year I pulled off seed heads & buried them next to the plants so I should have plenty of volunteers to move next year. My hollyhocks got a super bad case of rust & killed 3 of them...I only had 4. I sprayed the last one with Natural Yard when it started showing signs of rust...and so far it has prevented it from going any further. We had more rain than normal this summer & I've had more destructive insect damage too! I've been invaded by about 4 kinds of worms I hadn't seen before down here. Worms are eating my hyacinth bean vine seed pods. I'm not getting near as many seeds as I normally do. Pleasant surprises.... My brugmansia (angel trumpet) has been steadily blooming for over a month...just love the smell. My carrots did wonderful. My bell peppers are still producing. My black/blue salvia out did itself this year & is still putting out blooms for the hummers & insects. I discovered a FANTASTIC nursery (thank you FFG)! Some of my non-reblooming day lilies did rebloom. That was a super nice surprise. I've had about 8 hummers most of the year & lots of butterflies...and more bees than normal for me including a few honey bees. So not a totally bad year! "The soil is the source of life, creativity, culture and real independence." David Ben-Gurion | ||||
really enjoyed first year of my iris blooming. only 4 of ten flowered but the ones that did were beautiful beyond what i expected. i'm real excited about more of them flowering next year. the surprise sunflowers from dropped birdseed produced an abundant crop. that was fun. new daylilies? not so great. one creamy yellow was lovely, two more were OK but the other 6 (which are now in other members gardens from this board) were just meh. | ||||
Misses were most of the veggie garden.. For some reason I didn't have the abundance I usually have. Pleasant surprises.. the 6 x6 bed of corn I put in. Got many ears and I'm getting ready to pull the dried up stalks for Halloween decorations. Also the cardinal flower vine that showed up in a flower pot in the back yard.. Its still blooming and the red flowers really show up.. and of course my humongous elephant ears. Had no idea how they'd do where I put them, but at 6 1/2' high I guess they like it. | ||||
Disappointed in roses this year, they didn't bloom as profusely as in past. Lost a Korean Spice Viburnum that was a full grown bush and bloomed in spring, first planting, now it's dead. Having a hard time reestablishing wisteria that the chipmunks detroyed chewing/tunneling thru the roots. Very happy with some replanted daylilies and allium that made a nice showing in the spring. Surprised about other oriental lilies I planted and forgot. Also very happy about a gorgeous red water iris that got moved because it wasn't meant to be in soil. | ||||
First time planting veggies in a raised bed and the Red pepper got some sort of Wilt disease and had to be pulled out. Then, my squash got powdery mildew. I got exactly one baby squash the whole summer. I hate squash, they spread out and take up so much room (for nothing in my case!). My matos were okay. Got a lot of cherry tomatoes, love them. My neighbor gave my DH something from her garden last month. She mentioned to him that she didn't get any tomatoes this year. I kept telling my DH I didn't see any tomatoes on her plants. (I can see them right outside my window) What a shame, she planted about 10 tomato plants this year again and they all started looking really terrible. I think she may have to treat her soil, I think something is in it, probably a fungus.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Wavy, SPRING HAS F I N A L L Y SPRUNG!!!!! | ||||
Some of my Pleasant Surprises actually started out as Disappointments! My Pleasant Surprises: 1. I survived the gardening season and an almost complete reno of my garden! 2. My roses survived the winter without being babied. Even a potted gift rose that has now survived 2 winters outdoors. It had 3 blooms altho is still only about a foot tall (may not grow larger). This summer I planted it in the garden without it's pot. Usually I've buried the pot but since it seems to be a survivor it can be permanent. 3. The maple tree that appeared dead early in the spring returned and looks healthy (altho needed a severe pruning to remove dead wood). 4. Bought some dark red snapdragons which is a color I don't usually use. They started out slowly (pruned by the squirrels!) but soon bushed out, bloomed, and were very pretty. I'll use them again. 5. Didn't fertilize as much as usual but almost everything grew very well, even plants in containers. Just tried it as an experiment as I suspect over-fertilizing is a common practice for many of us. Still going to use compost but won't bother using as many other organic amendments/fertilizer. 6. The common day lilies the marmot ate tops off and dug up and even ate some of the tubers came back well after replanting close to my house. Even a few blooms. 7. First year ever I've had Autumn Joy bloom and continue blooming without being eaten by the deer as I now have deer fencing. My Disappointing Misses: 1. Biggest disappointment was my Limelight Hydrangea which never really bloomed, the blooms started late and never developed fully. Only reason I can think of is that I amended that bed with old manure last fall. Other plants there grew much larger leaves than usual so I think the N was high. It got compost this fall. 2. The chipmunks ate many of my petunias and 'pruned' many other plants. Little so-and-so's! Lucky "I have always had an aversion to the concepts of in style and out of style." ~Rose Tarlow Inspirational pics: http://inspiration4u.shutterfly.com/ | ||||
Last Thanksgiving, my sister gave a hibiscus that she had bought. She couldn't remember if it was a tropical or hardy. Anyway, i planted it in the spring, on the south side of the house. it didn't bloom this year, but it is about 3'tall. Another wonderful surprise is one that i got from bana. i saw the bears breeches that she posted and I just had to have some. she went on an on about how invasive it was. I have 33 acres and i need something that is invasive. She sent me some and I planted it. Can't remember how many months ago it was but today I noticed this new sprout that i've never seen before. I was beside myself, I was sooooo happy. | ||||
Fun thread. It's nice to know we have company with our hits/misses! I finally reworked the front garden bed and was happy with the result...for a little while. The yellow canna that were so pretty...for a little while...are gone. Discovered that they have a virus with no recovery. So out-out-out they went. On a good note, blue porterweed sent off shoots and is filling in some bare spots for free. Love that! ~Like sands through the hourglass ~So are the days of our lives | ||||

SAN JOSE -- A San Jose woman who brought international notoriety to the city with a severed-finger-in-chili hoax was back in court in another alleged charade, this time accused of obscuring the fact that her felon son had a gun.
Anna Ayala, 47, and son Guadalupe "Junior" Reyes, 26, were arraigned in a San Jose courtroom Friday. Ayala was arrested Thursday on suspicion of being an accessory to a felony and filing a false police report.
Police say her son admitted to accidentally shooting himself in the ankle at their Alviso home, and because a felony burglary conviction barred him from having a firearm, the mother-and-son duo made up a story about him being attacked by two men.
And just like in 2005 when
In addition to charges of falsely reporting a crime, Reyes has been charged with being a felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition.
Reyes, clad in an orange jail jumpsuit, used crutches to enter the courtroom Friday. Ayala used her hands to shield her face from media cameras during the brief hearing where both were assigned bail of $150,000, which Judge Philip H. Pennypacker set with their
Ayala served four years in prison for the chili finger caper, and Deputy District Attorney Bret Wasley said her "history of manipulating the system for her gain" warranted the bail amount.
Reyes, sitting in the defendant's gallery, mumbled something unintelligible in protest to Wasley's characterization of his mother and was admonished by a bailiff not to talk out of turn.
Outside the courtroom Mary Ayala stood up for her sister and nephew to reporters, saying they were good people. She said Reyes "makes mistakes like everybody else," but saved most of her words for his mother.
"I'm confused. I don't really know what to say," Mary Ayala said. "I'm worried for my sister. She didn't do (anything) wrong. I love her, and I will support her to the end."
Ayala and Reyes are scheduled to return to court March 1.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Brad Keselowski strolled through the Daytona 500 Club with his cellphone in one hand and a half-empty bottle in the other.
Nope, not beer. Not this time.
Keselowski was drinking orange juice Thursday at Daytona 500 Media Day, which officially kicked off Speedweeks. Still, the reigning NASCAR Sprint Cup champion was his usual, laid-back, outspoken self, offering up some of the best one-liners during a daylong event filled with playful jokes, repetitive questions, canned answers and optimistic outlooks for the upcoming season.
For Keselowski, it wasn't all that different from his last moment in the spotlight. He just didn't have a little buzz going.
"If you drink enough orange juice, you can drink a lot of beer," said Keselowski, who memorably chugged away in Victory Lane after clinching his first Cup championship at Homestead-Miami Speedway in November.
Three months later, he was fielding questions about defending his title, tweeting from his race car — which he famously did during last year's Daytona 500 — the budding relationship between competitors Danica Patrick and Ricky Stenhouse Jr., and his plan to purchase a tank.
"There is just something very rootsy about it," Keselowski said. "A man should own a tank."
Where would he put it?
"Right in my driveway," he said.
The tank talk was just one of the many topics addressed by the 50-plus drivers who took part in the eight-hour event at Daytona International Speedway. No surprise, the Patrick and Stenhouse saga — they announced they were dating last month — took center stage. Continued...
"It some respects, it's just a relationship," five-time champion Jimmie Johnson said. "Clearly, there's more to it. It doesn't hurt anything. It will keep people looking and watching and curious as to what that dynamic is on the track, I'm sure. ... We'll all be watching with great curiosity."
Patrick and Stenhouse were open about their relationship, clearly ready for all the ribbing. They shared Valentine's Day plans with reporters. He called her "hot." She joked about what would happen if he wrecked her on the track.
"He better have a really good, 'I'm sorry,"' Patrick said with a wink.
Four-time series champion Jeff Gordon was fielding questions of his own after filming a "Harlem Shake" video at his race shop — even climbing atop a race car to dance — and the evidence is now online.
"One of the best times I've ever had," Gordon said. "Certainly the best time I ever had in my race shop with my guys in there. Luckily it was quick so it didn't take them away from their jobs too long because there's a lot going on at the shop. I'm a little embarrassed at my dancing, but it was still worth it. It was a great time."
Not everyone had a blast at media day.
Juan Pablo Montoya stared down a reporter who insinuated that the driver might hit another jet dryer this season. Montoya slammed into a dryer during last year's Daytona 500, setting off a fiery explosion that halted the race.
"People are dumb enough to think I hit the thing on purpose, like I really want to try and kill myself," Montoya said later. "It is kind of crazy. That was a freak accident, and in a way, I was very, very lucky to walk away from that one. Not only myself, but the guy driving the jet dryer. To walk away with nothing out of that it was a miracle. I was glad it was over."
Joey Logano, Matt Kenseth and Kurt Busch talked about being with new teams. Kyle Larson, Dylan Kwasniewski, Ben Kennedy and Ryan Blaney looked and sounded every bit like eager youngsters. Austin Dillon wore a black cowboy hat to the event. Dave Blaney donned a pink firesuit.
Two-time Daytona 500 winner Michael Waltrip, meanwhile, unveiled a green-and-white car to honor and raise funds for Sandy Hook Elementary School. Waltrip was set to drive the No. 30 Toyota in a one-race deal. Instead, he will be behind the wheel of No. 26 to honor the victims of the Dec. 14 massacre in Newtown, Conn., where 20 first-graders and six adults were gunned down. Continued...
Waltrip met with families from the area recently.
"I left there three hours later, but part of me is still there," he said. "There's no doubt about that. I didn't have that same feeling before I got there. I was sad, I was hurt, I was sorry, but it wasn't personal. That day, it became personal."
Dale Earnhardt Jr. praised NASCAR for taking steps to mandate baseline concussion testing for drivers in 2014. Earnhardt missed two races following a concussion last season, knocking him out of contention for the championship.
"When you get into an accident, you may have, may not have had a concussion, you can take this test again and find out exactly what is happening to your brain, if things don't feel right, you feel like you're having some trouble," Earnhardt said. "It helped me a lot. There was a lot of good information I learned throughout that whole process. That impact test was a good standard for measuring. There's no way to diagnose concussion, but this is a good standard for being able to measure one."
Keselowski has no way of calculating his chances of repeating as champion. He switched from Dodge to Ford during the offseason, has a new teammate (Logano) and has more than 40 others gunning for him.
Nonetheless, he seemed unfazed by the precarious position and whatever pressure that might come with defending the title. He even bragged about his choice of shoes at media day.
"There is nothing wrong with a little style is there?" Keselowski said. "Everyone likes a little style. I feel like I have a little style. I am wearing white shoes. Who else wears white shoes?"

After a student walk-out spurred a flood of support from alumni and others, the board of the University of Georgia's student newspaper backtracked Friday and vowed a staffer they had hired will not have final say on editorial decisions, the paper's former editor-in-chief said.
The new policy was one of several requested by student journalists and outlined by Red & Black newspaper board members in a meeting Friday with students in Athens, Georgia, said Polina Marinova, who was the paper's top editor until earlier this week. She called the policy shift a testament to the students' unity and conviction, as well as thanks to a wave of public pressure put on the board.
"I'm just really proud that everyone stood together and there was so much support," Marinova told CNN on Friday night. "We stood up for ourselves, and I think other people saw that."
Marinova and Julia Carpenter quit as editor-in-chief and managing editor, respectively, of the Red & Black on Wednesday, with fellow editors, design staff, photo staff and reporters joining them leaving the newspaper's building en masse. They explained they had done so after the publication's board recently hired several "permanent staff with veto power over students' decisions."
In a statement posted on a new website -- redanddead.com -- they set up to continue covering news and offer their views, the departed staff posted a "draft" memo written by a Red & Black board member dated on Wednesday -- the day of the resignations and walk-out -- as being "effective today." In the memo, board member Ed Stamper detailed responsibilities for the "Editorial Director and the entire professional staff" such as "taking corrective action to replace students that do not follow our standards," setting design mandates and suggesting what types of stories staff should cover, including "more good" and less "bad" news stories that highlight wrongdoing.
"Recently, editors have felt pressure to assign stories they didn't agree with, take 'grip and grin' photos, and compromise the design of the paper," wrote Marinova, a rising University of Georgia senior, in a statement announcing her resignation. "But what's most alarming to me is that there was no input from the Red & Black student staff about any of these changes."
After the resignations and walk-out, the Red & Black board and its publisher, Harry Montevideo, on Thursday issued their own statement expressing "regret" for what it called "a great deal of miscommunication during the past 24 hours."
They stated the Red & Black "is still and will remain an independent student media organization," explaining the hiring of the new professional staff and specifically stating that the recently appointed editorial director is meant to serve as "a counselor, teacher, mentor, coordinator and manager" and not as a de facto editor-in-chief who makes final editorial decisions.
In her resignation letter, Marinova wrote that "more than 10 permanent staff" had been hired in "less than a month." On Friday, the board of directors vice chairwoman Melita Easters disputed that figure, saying it was "more like eight" -- about half of whom were part-time, and only two of whom were editorial staff (with others focused on marketing and advertising).
Easters said that the "board, as a whole," did not foresee the students' actions or the public hubbub that followed.

The milk cliff
A frequent bugaboo of the "fiscal cliff" debacle was the "milk cliff" - the threat of milk price doubling, if Congress failed to extend dairy subsidies. Parents were forgoing other necessities, because their children "had to have milk."
Most industries would gladly give up their tax loopholes for that kind of product loyalty. But this one is totally undeserved.
Consumption of dairy products, laden with saturated fats, cholesterol, hormones, and drugs elevates the risk of diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. This is particularly critical during childhood years, when dietary flaws become lifelong addictions.
A study of 12,829 children by Harvard Medical School found that drinking cow's milk leads to weight gain.
Several proteins in cow's milk can thicken mucus secretions leading to respiratory problems in children.
Most African-Americans and Asian-Americans suffer from cramping and diarrhea because they lack the enzyme to digest lactose in cow's milk.
The good news is that green leafy vegetables and legumes supply all the calcium and proteins touted in cow's milk, without the excess calories and other yucky factors noted. Every supermarket offers a huge line of dairy-free milks, cheeses, and ice creams made from healthy nuts and grains.
This is why USDA's current Dietary Guidelines for Americans, shunt dairy (and meat) off the recommended plate of vegetables, fruits, and grains.
Cow's milk is produced for bovine – not human babies. Let's give our kids a healthy start! Continued...

Vietnam veterans low priority
The new 113th Congress are now seated. The 112th Congress failed to recognize Veterans of the Vietnam War. House Bill HR-3612 and Senate Bill S.1629, to restore The Agent Orange Equity Act did not make it out of committee. In all probability, these Bills are dead and must be re-introduced.
There are 439 members of Congress States and Territories, 100 members of Senate. The 112th assembly of both Houses only 126 Representatives co-sponsored the House Bill and 14 Senators co-sponsored the Senate Bill.
What does this say about those Legislators who ignored the Bills?
Veterans of the Vietnam War are low priority. We have become a liability for budget dollars. Our quality of life means little to our Congress and Senate. What is a veterans life worth who honorably served Country and Flag? Freedom is not free.
Every day another veteran falls ill to a disease attributed to the deadly herbicide agent orange. Every week approximately 400 to 500 sick Vietnam veterans die. The legacy we leave behind is our government does not care.
We advocates for Vietnam veterans must start over to convince our legislators to do what is right. We are groups who volunteer our time to help sick veterans gather evidence required by the Veterans Affairs for submission of claims. We do the leg work, we meet with members of Congress and Senate in support of veterans. Our only reward is knowing we helped a veteran. What we do is not enough unless we have support from the Congress and Senate. We ask all Americans to urge our legislators to pass laws that will provide equitable VA health care and compensation for sick Vietnam veterans so they may realize better quality of life.

A man accused of killing a school district librarian and raping her 10-year-old daughter in upstate New York had removed an electronic tracking anklet before carrying out the attack, police said.
David J. Renz, 29, of Cicero, is accused of abducting the 47-year-old mother and her daughter shortly before 9 p.m. on Thursday as they left a gymnastics class, state police said.
He tied up the mother and raped her daughter in their vehicle, state police said.
He then drove the car a short distance down the road, police said, where the librarian was fatally stabbed.
The girl managed to escape the vehicle and flag down a passing motorist for help.
Her mother was declared dead of multiple stab wounds at the hospital. The girl is still being treated for the injuries she sustained in the attack.
Renz -- who police said was arrested after trying to flee the scene through the woods -- has been charged with rape, kidnapping and murder.
He had been ordered to wear the electronic tracking device on his ankle while awaiting trial on child pornography charges, Matt Brown, chief probation officer of the Northern District of New York, told CNN Friday.
Renz was also told he had to be home between the hours of 9 p.m. and 7 a.m., Brown said.
Authorities believe Renz was able to remove the strap to the tracking device and reconnect it quickly enough that the probation office was not alerted, Brown said.

A classic casserole, chicken is paired up with broccoli, rice, cream soup and cheese. |
Chicken Broccoli and Rice Casserole
I finally got my recipe for broccoli and rice casserole up after a recent reader request, though it's pretty common with most other broccoli and rice recipes out in the world - cooked rice, cooked broccoli, cream of something soup and a few seasonings, all mixed together, turned out into a baking dish, sprinkled with cheese or a crumb topping and baked.When I was browsing through my Trisha Yearwood cookbook Georgia Cooking however, while waiting for my newly ordered more recent cookbook of hers, Home Cooking to arrive, I saw this recipe for a Chicken Broccoli Casserole. Instead of combining all of the ingredients together, she layered hers, so I was intrigued and decided to give her version a try, with a few of my own elements thrown in. I loved it!
While I did use the lemon called for in the recipe, it does provide quite a tang to the casserole even for a lemon lover like me, and frankly, I think the casserole would be great even without out. Broccoli is such a super food that we ought to work it into our diets whenever we can and certainly in our children's diets early. While I don't think I'll give up my mix together and bake broccoli casserole, this really is a delicious take on that old timey standby and with the chicken, you've got a great main dish.
Here's how to make it.
Make Ahead Freezer Tips:
Several years ago I did the Once-a-Month-Cooking method of freezer cooking and picked up some make ahead tips that I still use to this day. Anytime that you can have things prepped ahead of time for dishes like this one, is a great time saver we all can use - but especially those of you who have the hardest job in the world - being a stay at home mom. This is one of those great casseroles that can not only make use of that kind of make ahead freezer prep of the individual components, but can also be either doubled or divided into smaller dishes and prepared for the freezer.
Whenever I cook rice, I always make a full pot of it, no matter how much I need. What I don't use goes into the freezer to be re-hydrated and used another time. All you have to do is microwave it, covered, with a splash of water and it comes back as good as freshly cooked! The chicken I used was pieces from leftover cooked chicken that I tore off the bone and stored in the freezer. I happened to have fresh lemons in the fridge, but check out this tip so you have fresh lemon juice available all the time. The chopped broccoli can also be from leftover broccoli you made with dinner one night, but it really only takes a matter of minutes to cook frozen broccoli in the microwave. Place it into a bowl with a little bit of water, cover it and microwave it on high for about 6 minutes, or simply wrap it in dampened paper towels and microwave.
All of that freezer prep, made a dish like this a total breeze to throw together in no time and I really liked the way that this casserole presents itself. Still not easy to photograph, but instead of a mess of cheesy goo all mixed together {not that there's a thing wrong with that}, each element stands on it's own on your plate instead.
If you think this sounds yummy, I'd sure ♥ it if you'd click to pin it, tweet it, stumble it, or share it on Facebook to help spread the word - thanks!

Adapted from Trisha Yearwood's Georgia Cooking in an Oklahoma KitchenRecipe: Chicken Broccoli and Rice Casserole
©From the Kitchen of Deep South Dish
Prep time: 10 min |Cook time: 40 min | Yield: About 4 to 6 servings
- 2 cups of cooked rice
- 3 cups of fresh, raw chopped broccoli, lightly cooked
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice, optional
- 1 (10 ounce) can of condensed cream of celery soup, (like Campbell's)
- 1-1/2 cups of grated Cheddar cheese, divided
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1/4 teaspoon of freshly cracked black pepper, or to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon of Cajun seasoning (like Slap Ya Mama), or to taste, optional
- 1/2 cup of bread crumbs, or crumbled potato chips, or crackers
- 4 cups of shredded cooked chicken
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter or spray a 9 x 13 inch baking pan with non-stick spray.
To layer, spread the rice in the bottom of the pan and top evenly with the broccoli; set aside. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon juice and cream of celery soup. Add the garlic salt, pepper, Cajun seasoning; mix. Add one cup of the cheese and the chicken. Spread mixture over the top of the broccoli layer and smooth out. Alternatively you may also simply mix all of the ingredients together and spoon into the casserole dish.
Bake uncovered, at 350 degrees F, in the upper section of the oven for 30 minutes. Remove and add the crumb topping and the remaining 1/2 cup of cheese on top. Return to the oven and bake another 10 minutes or until the crumbs brown and cheese melts. Check the center to make sure it is cooked through. Let sit for a few minutes to settle before serving. Can freeze.
Cook's Notes: The addition of lemon does provide quite a tang to the recipe. I see no reason why it wouldn't be just as good without it, so I included that as an optional ingredient. Feel free to leave it out.
Variation: Instead of layering, whisk together the sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon juice and cream of celery soup. Add the garlic salt, pepper, Cajun seasoning; mix. Add the rice, broccoli, one cup of the cheese and the chicken. Mix well and turn out into the prepared casserole dish. Omit the chicken to make it a simple layered Broccoli and Rice Casserole.
Tips: If you bake this too close to the heat source, you may end up with crunchy rice on the bottom. If you don't have already cooked, leftover rice on hand and don't want to steam or boil rice, you can substitute a quick cooking rice like Minute rice if desired (for 2 cups cooked). Also, if you don't already have leftover cooked chicken on hand, place about 4 average sized, whole, boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a pot, cover with water, add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 40 minutes, or until tender. Set aside to cool enough to shred.

Queen Silvia is quoted by Swedish daily newspaper Aftonbladet as saying: "The princess is very happy and so are we. He is a real dream-son-in-law."
The wedding will take place in summer 2013 but a date has not yet been announced.
O'Neill may have been reassured by the fact he's not the first commoner to marry into Sweden's royal family in recent years.
Madeleine's elder sister, Crown Princess Victoria, wed her former personal trainer in June 2010. Gym owner Daniel Westling was given the title Prince Daniel, Duke of Vaestergoetland, on their marriage. The couple had a daughter in February who became second in line to the throne of Sweden, as the first grandchild of the king and queen.
O'Neill, 38, says he is still working on learning Swedish but has been given a warm welcome by the royal family.
"I felt part of the family right from the very beginning. Madeleine's family is very warm and we have a very good time when we all see each other," he said.
Born in London, where his late father Paul O'Neill was posted from his native New York, Christopher was educated at a Swiss boarding school before gaining an MBA from Columbia Business School in New York, according to an official biography provided by the Swedish court.
A 16-year career within the field of finance followed. He is currently a partner and head of research at Noster Capital, which has offices in New York and London -- as well as being a keen sportsman and Chelsea Football Club fan.
His mother, Eva Maria O'Neill, is quoted by the court as saying: "As the mother of Christopher O'Neill I am delighted at the happy news. I look forward to welcoming Princess Madeleine, who I am very fond of, into our family. I wish them both all possible happiness."
The couple will remain in New York for the time being but have not ruled out a move to Sweden in future.

TripAdvisor Beurteilung von Reisenden
I had a stopover in Santa Maria for the night and was not looking forward to it after reading all the reviews of hotels and the town. But the Days Inn... was a delightful surprise! The staff bent over backwards to help me and were incredibly friendly. The room was great, good quality beds and linens. Mini fridge, microwave, coffee maker. Soothing colors. Really a great place for the money. The walls were a bit thin so I could hear people talking in the next room but it wasn't that bad. All in all, a very good place to stay. von Nicole` aus Los Angeles am 30.04.2013

If you need a vehicle that provides 8-passenger capacity but are dead set against driving a minivan, the 2012 Honda Pilot makes an excellent alternative. Strong, safe and easy to drive, the Pilot SUV

Despite its size, the 2012 Honda Pilot SUV rides and drives very much like a large car. The firm suspension limits body roll, squat, and dive, yet is not so firm as to punish its passengers with every passing pothole or road distortion. We found the Pilot's steering a bit heavily weighted, but it is very precise and offers good feedback in the turns. On the highway the Pilot SUV tracks straight, and even strong wind gusts can't deter it from its intended course. The interior seems quieter than many large SUVs we've tested, but that's not a scie

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 2,600

Cons: "Only 5 speed tranny, remove start? change holder?"

"My review is for the technical type person; take it for what its worth. It is rather critical. I am not bashing my fellow Pilot owners if you love your Pilot and feel compelled to defend it at all costs; I am not like that. I do not have buyer remorse, but some things were lacking after I bought. All vehicles are designed and I figured the brilliant Honda engineers would have added the features I list in my cons. I will make my comparison to my old SUV which was a 2005 Suburban 1500 Z71 4x4.(yes I know I am comparing a full size 18 MPG max SUV but this is a reasonable comparison) Forgive me if I only list cons. You and I know the pros which is why we bought a Pilot CONS: 5 speed instead of 6 speed like the rest of the industry, this causes a 1000 rpm drop in the 2-3 or 3-4 shift. Honda, why not upgrade your tranny? I suspect the outdated tranny results in the dismal gas mileage. No remote start at least on the EX-L. Honda how can you skimp on a $50 electronic device. No change holder? Isn't this a no brainer? Top Heavy feel at highway speeds; ...the Pilot lets you know to be careful when making lane changes at 60 MPH. I suspect this may be due to undersized anti-sway bars but I am not sure. This is a comparison to the full size 8 passenger Suburban which is probably not a fair comparison given Suburban's wider stance and longer wheel base. Maintenance seems difficult, even an oil change. It doesn't look like the engineers thought much about the mechanic who has to work on the vehicle. Stupid method to engage 4WD = You have to shift into a low gear and then press the 4WD button? What if I need 4WD at speeds above 25 mph? I really did not pay attention to this aspect of the Pilot until later. I thought all modern 4WD vehicles allow you to drive at speeds up to 50 mph. Not the Honda Pilot. Even if you start out in 4WD, once you shift into drive at highway speeds, the smart engineers at HOnda designed your Pilot to shift out of 4WD. The Driver Information Center lacks the ability to easily change settings like when doors lock. The vehicle feels under-powered at all times. While the economy bar and eco button are nice, I find I am not rewarded for driving as efficient as possible. Yes I am complaining about my average city + combined mileage, which is 19.5 mpg. OK here is one positive in the midst of all this carnage; I drove from Atlantic City to the Poconos, all highway miles. I reset the trip odometer which also resets the mpg and I saw for the first time sustained gas mileage of 24.5 mpg at 65 to 70 miles per hour. Towing? Nobody at local Honda dealers knows anything about towing or electric brakes. The manual says you can tow, you have to dig real hard into the owners manual to find information about plugging in a wiring harness and electric brakes. Dealer, while willing to sell me a new SUV almost cautioned me to not treat the Pilot like it was a SUV. I read the owners manual and I am aware the max rated towing is 5000#. Back to the tranny: I think first gear should be geared lower for towing situations,...but alas Honda did not really envision the Pilot to tow anything more than a Jetski. Back window has 2 giant washers at the top. When you go to wash and squeegee the back glass, the big washers get in the way. I never had that problem before."

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 45,000
overall rating 9 of 10rating detailsPros: "Smooth, Quiet, Very Comfortable, Giant Cargo Area"
Cons: "Too many buttons for climate control"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10
"I bought my Pilot as a certified pre owned 2 years ago and it is a fantastic vehicle. It is a wonderful driver and great on long trips. After 45000 miles it has very few rattles and drives like a brand new vehicle. Smooth and quiet with plenty of power and all of the seats in the back fold flat for maximum cargo. The seats needed to fold flat for my job and I literally looked at all SUV's in its class and it has by far the best cargo area. Plus my dog loves it back there. My only complaint is too many buttons for the AC. It is virtually impossible to adjust the controls without looking. Best just to leave in on AUTO and let the climate control do its job. For those who have never owned a Honda, it truly is a different experience. The dealers treat you better than any non luxury brand on the market. It is no wonder that Honda can sell plain looking cars and have such loyalty from its customers."

Bring a Trailer: 1966 Goggomobil TS-250 and 1978 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz
Bring a Trailer is a reliable source for solid project cars and affordable daily-driver classics, and today, the enthusiast site is serving up a study in contrasts.
First, a 1966 Glas Goggomobile TS-250 currently listed on eBay. The quirky German microcar is in great original shape, both inside and out, and you're sure to be the only one on your block to own one should you decide to make it your own. The Goggomobile's 250cc two-stroke engine isn't going to make your heart race—unless you try merging into expressway traffic—but the car does boast 55-mpg fuel economy.
If microcars aren't your thing, don't worry: There's a 1978 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz listed for sale as well. This 34,000 mile creampuff has a rare electric T-top, fresh paint and a crisp new vinyl top—all of which is nicely accented by the overstuffed, light-blue leather upholstery.
The two coupes may occupy opposite ends of the automotive spectrum, but they're both very, very cool rides. You could choose one or the other, but for less than the cost of an entry-level BMW 3-Series, why not put both in your garage?
The fuel-sipping Goggomobil would make a practical, economical daily driver, while the Eldorado could be unleashed for weekend cruising.
It makes perfect sense—to us, at least.

The Age 18/05/2013 | Most of those who take a political approach to the budget assume that if it's in deficit, the way you get it back to surplus is to cut government spending or, if you're a really bad person, increase taxes. They forget it's the budget itself that's supposed to do the heavy lifting.

Ziuaddin Yousafzai spent much of his life believing that girls should get an education. He always made sure his daughter Malala understood that.
Months after Taliban militants gravely wounded the 15-year-old with a bullet to the head for being vocal about that belief, he thinks more people around the world and in his home country agree with him.
Last October, the teenager was riding home in a school van in the Swat Valley, a Taliban stronghold in Pakistan, when masked men stopped the vehicle. They demanded that the other girls identify Malala.
The trained their guns on their target and fired. Then they shot another girl, wounding her.
Malala was treated by Pakistani doctors in the initial days after the shooting. The prognosis was dire. As international outrage grew, Pakistanis took to the streets. Shooting a little girl? The Taliban had gone too far this time. The government had better do something. Around the world, more people began learning about how the Taliban, years earlier, had ordered that all girls leave school.
Malala "is the daughter of the whole world," her father told CNN on Friday. "The world owns her."
She has become an icon of education, a symbol of girls' rights. "She has made a difference," said.
Malala is getting stronger by the day, and "recovering very well, very fast," he added.
The teen was discharged from a hospital in Birmingham, England, in February and is receiving rehabilitative care.
A team of international doctors who took over Malala's care from Pakistani providers certainly did amazing work in saving her life. They addressed her brain swelling. Her skull had fractured in tiny pieces from the gunshot at close range. She has endured numerous surgeries.
