Californians are justly proud of their winemaking prowess with the grapes cabernet sauvignon and chardonnay. Yet, for decades before California even had its name, winemakers in Bordeaux and Burgundy had made notable wines from these same grapes.
The wine grape that California might be prouder of is zinfandel, which it has coddled since the 1850s and brought into prominence on its own turf. Though not native to our continent, it truly has become "America's grape."
In 2002, through DNA research, vine scientists determined that zinfandel is the ancient Croatian grape, crljenak kastelanski, imported to the U.S. in the early 1800s by a nurseryman on Long Island, N.Y.
Like so many other residents of the East Coast, crljenak kastelanski relocated to California at the time of the Gold Rush, where it became known as zinfandel, the origin of this name shrouded by time. It took to its new home because it enjoyed the heat and yielded rivers of juicy, fruity red wine that was popular with miners and other early California settlers.
But in modern times, two bad raps plague appreciation of zinfandel, and both are about sugar. First, the grape ripens to very high levels of sweetness; therefore, many zinfandels sported elevated alcohol or unfermented residual sugar (or both). Second, a zinfandel rosé popularized in the 1970s and nicknamed "white zinfandel," is often mawkishly sweet; hence, the oenoscenti disparage it.
Of late, however, more targeted harvesting has gotten a good handle on the first issue. As for the second, how can anyone who truly appreciates wine belittle the significance of one that has introduced so many soda pop drinkers to the word "former"?
For my part, I had to disabuse myself of my own prejudices when this summer I took a fresh look at zinfandel. The zins of my youth were high-octane, overextracted, jam-in-a-jar bruisers that devolved, with as little as a decade's aging in cellar, to something like acrid tea spiked with Everclear.
After recent tastings of 30 California zinfandels from recent vintages, what an awakening awaited! All in all, it was a seducing mix of heady perfumes, persistence of flavors, well-structured, nicely performing red wines.
California zinfandels
You are in for the same treats if you snag any of these terrific wines, all from California, listed by price. A central theme to greatness is old-vine zinfandel, some of these wines coming from vines well over a century in age.
2011 Ravenswood "Old Vine" Napa Valley: The winery's twice-the-price single vineyard zins are well favored, but this offering is a great buy for deeply flavored, headily perfumed, moderately tannic zin that shouts "California." $16
2010 Mettler Family "Epicenter" Lodi: A monster zin, but a Shrek, big and brooding with deeply extracted aromas and flavors, but nonetheless lively and lifted by moderate tannin and tame alcohol. $20
2010 Tierra Davina ZaZin Old Vine Zinfandel Lodi: From an area to watch for old-vine zinfandel, this one sports power but sophistication, too, with dark red fruit underlaid by puffy, mouth-sweeping tannin. $22
2011 Dashe Cellars Zinfandel Dry Creek Valley: In its zins, Dashe dials back oak, alcohol and tannin, all to fine effect; this fits a range of foods, not merely the aggressively hearty. $22
2009 Scherrer Vineyard Zinfandel "Old & Mature" Alexander Valley Sonoma: "Goldilocks" zin: not too aggressive, not too shy; just enough tannin, perfume and persistence of flavor to take you back to it repeatedly. $30
2007 Joseph Swan Vineyards Zinfandel "Mancini Ranch" Russian River Valley Sonoma: The nicest thing about this old-vine zin from an old-time producer is its bright acidity, something not often found in wines of this "size"; superlengthy finish, delightful fruit. $30
2009 Dashe Louvau Old Vines Dry Creek Sonoma: From 85-year-old vines discovered hidden and long-neglected; heady and elegant, in the manner of classic old-style Bordeaux claret. $32
2010 Quivira "Flight" Dry Creek Sonoma: Bright, juicy, smooth, buoyant of red fruits, energizing and true to its moniker; Proustian scents of a rainy day cabin in the woods. $35
2011 Ridge Vineyards "Geyserville" Sonoma: The current release of a famed California zin-based red; long in flavor and chalky tannin but also graced by notes of menthol, wood and bright fruit. $37
2010 Amapola Creek Monte Rosso Vineyards Sonoma Valley: Off 118-year-old vines that yield grapes in meager amounts; Christmas cake flavors with pops of licorice and cola; superseductive for the way it's different at each sniff or sip. $42
2009 Scott Harvey Wine "Vineyard 1869" Amador County: From vines planted in 1869, California's oldest registered zinfandel vineyard; a beautiful wine for its whispering aromas, elegantly delivered fruit, ever-unfolding complexity; delicacy and power. $50
Bill St John has been writing and teaching about wine for more than 40 years.

In my last post, I looked at the Internet's energy use, broadly construed, and contended that we might offload other societal functions onto the Internet. In this post I'd like to consider in what ways that might be an unwise approach given the dependencies of the Internet.
A couple of months ago, Greer argued that complexity limits might make otherwise sustainable-looking systems falter. That is, suppose a system uses very little energy, but requires a set of social arrangements, manufacturing and mining systems, and engineering knowledge to make it work at all. Those complex dependencies might be the system's undoing even if it doesn't run out of energy.
The Internet is composed of a complex array of hardware and software assembled around the world with materials, energy, skills, and designs also from a global resource base. With this complexity comes vulnerability to threats: disruptions in global supply chains, energy shortages, societal instability, and government intervention into its operation. The last two decades have been relatively placid compared with the previous eight or previous eighty, and have provided an environment in which the Internet has been able to grow at a phenomenal pace.
In the spirit of appropriate technology, a colleague of mine, Shaddi, and I decided to analyze the dependencies of the Internet, down to their roots. Our goal was to understand where we might intervene in the system to make pieces of it more locally-reproducible, and thus more resilient. The result was a bit overwhelming, but perhaps a wake-up call.
We looked at a use case of two people communicating over the Internet over a long distance – the dependencies of that scenario are shown in the diagram below (click to zoom). Each box denotes an abstract or concrete component, resource, or function of the Internet or one of its dependencies. Arrows denote dependency; dashed arrows denote optional dependency (a "one of these" relationship). At the top is the use case. We quickly move through the higher layers which represent mostly functional and abstract pieces that we recognize as pieces of the Internet and on to the lower layers which reside in the realm of hardware. Once we move beyond hardware manufacturing we enter the realm of chemical compounds and natural resources that are required for many of the relevant manufacturing processes, from making fiber optics to printing circuit boards. We end with ores or otherwise naturally occurring resources. We decided not to depict operational or deployment dependencies since they tend to involve a small number of processes like power generation and transportation.
Where the dependencies come from is just as important as what they are – the map below shows the origins of some of the many resources from the dependency diagram above. The idea of global commodities and international trade are so firmly entrenched in our thinking today that we take for granted that a resource in another country can be tapped if the price or force is right. However, this is a modern notion, one whose history is scarcely four decades old; higher energy costs and increased resource competition might complicate the picture in the decades to come.
We considered a number of ways of eliminating these dependencies, though I'll have to go into that another time. Suffice it to say that we didn't find particularly elegant ways of replacing the complex and global dependencies the Internet has today.

OXFORD — The second night of the annual town meeting began Thursday with a decision not to vote again on a controversial article that failed on the first day.
The article asked for $2.7 million to complete the purchase of the Oxford water system from Aquarion Water Co. In 2009, voters appropriated $6.7 million for that purpose.
At the meeting that started on Wednesday, a majority of residents voted against the additional funds, when the vote finally was taken just after midnight. Most residents went home after the vote, though the meeting continued with 20 articles yet to be voted on.
At about 12:30 a.m., Alan J. Hammond made a motion, which was seconded, to reconsider the Aquarion article. This led to a commotion, and then someone pulled the fire alarm at 12:35 a.m., according to Police Chief Michael C. Hassett. He said the incident is being investigated, and charges may be filed.
Town Manager Joseph M. Zeneski said, "It was a deliberate act to stop town meeting. This isn't over."
Town Moderator Russell C. Rheault continued the meeting to Thursday night and cleared the room before a vote could be taken on the request to vote again.
Several residents contacted media outlets to try to get the word out that the town meeting would reconvene Thursday evening for a potential second vote. Selectman Jarred J. Mahota said he paid to have a private company to "robocall" local residents to inform them that another vote was possible, and sign-holders on Main Street on Thursday encouraged voters to attend the Thursday evening meeting.
Proponents and opponents encouraged voters to attend the town meeting Thursday night.
On the first night of town meeting, 758 voters packed the high school. On Thursday, 445 voters participated, according to Mr. Rheault.
Town Manager Joseph M. Zeneski said the town still has the right to purchase the water company, if a future town meeting approves additional funds or if grants or other means are found to fund the full $8.2 million ordered by Worcester Superior Court Justice Daniel M. Wrenn in December for the purchase.

A. Little wbo edited the News- Ttmea this week for tbe last time will ^ * apeak tomorrow (Friday) afternoon be / li- tore the Buckeye Press association at Ma Mg convention held In Lima. AA thia convention there will be the greatest of newspaper <men of tho United States. Among other speakers at the convention la Governor Cox, Oeneral Manager Baker of the Plain Dealer, President of the Western Nawepaper Union, Arthur Brisbane, noted newspaper man and many others well versed ln the field of Journalism. The Speech. The text of Mr. Little's speech Is as follows: Mr. President, and Gentlemen of the Fourth Batata:— 1ft view of the fact that there are so many efficient speakers on today's program, I feel confident that you will agree with my fellow-townsmen who, whenever a good speaker ls desired at any of our gatherings, OO NOT call on B. A. Little, for they aay his ability trends toward the pen or pencil aad not to the silvery flow ot the tongue. But I shall do my utmost to present the topic I have been assigned la aa concise a manner aa possible ln this brief talk. * Tha only way to make a newspaper pay In any field Is by hard work, backed by an Intelligent study of the field. I'm sure most of the men here know that statement ls true, and that moat of you have had your share of bard work and long hours, at a smaller salary than that earned by many a day laborer. In our field there are three large cities whose papers reach ua dally. Tbe Cleveland papera could hardly be called competitors. Nowadays v/e argue that every family ahould take a good dally paper, for the atate, national and International news they pon- taln and also for the timely political. sporting and market news. The Blyrla paper, managed by our . friend Burke, doaa not bother us much. •X poaslbly Iter' physical reasons the Chronicle-Telegram ls riot able to reach ua the same day as printed, and few like to read a dally paper that la 14 or even 12 hours old. Thin simplifies' matter's somewhat for us—for tha Telegram ls so good a newspaper that tt might give us a run for our money If It once came Into Amherst. The Lorain Times-Herald, however, haa been a problem with us. When wa flrst came to Amhesrt, nearly 3 years ago, the Lorain paper bad a circulation In our town of about 600, and tha Amherst weekly paper had but a email number of actual subscribers. At the present moment, the Lorain daily la sending in possibly 450 papers with a steady loss In circulation, and wo have built our list up to more than that of the weekly of three years ago and all our subscribers are paid-in- advance. They have been put on the lift without tho aid of a contest or premium of any kind. i . Tha.only solicitation we have tried' Arizona, haa been the casual, common-place kind. Upon meeting or talking with a person whom we know ia not on our list, wo Invariably tell htm he should bo taking the News-Times and wa toll him why. Nine Wines out of ten . ho aaya, "Well, put me down for a year." When the year is up he receives notice that hla subscription is due and payable, and if he doesn't come across within a reasonable time hla name la taken from the list. Moat of our subscribers renew promptly. What arguments de we use? The boat one we have se our stock in trade la that our weekly edition gives full details of any event that haa happened or la about to take place, which tho Lorain paper, even though it car- riea an Amherst corner, cannot do. (Continued on back page) A new meat market known as the Quality Moat Market will open for business for the flrst time Saturday, i Feb. tt In the Dellefield building on Park avenue. It will be managed by Carl Dellefield and company. The store room was formerly ueed for a meat market and with many changes It has boon modernly equipped. Mr. DellefleM Bays It Is his object to give the customers of his market the best meats from a sanitary and flrst class shop. NEW SCHOOL BUILDING CREATES TALK MAJORITY OF PEOPLE SEEM TO BE IN FAVOR OF IMPROVEMENT. The proposition ot building a new school houae of some kind has created much talk in Amherst since the time it was brought up. There seems to be much public opinion in favor ot the proposition. The local board of education has met several times with the Township board. It le the hope of, the local board to co-operate with tbe township board and build a high school building large enough to accommodate pupils from both territories. Although the local board of education has not met for some time It has been continually working on the new improvement for Amherst which la left In Its hands. It Is the plan of the board to visit the various new school buildings of the surrounding territory. Wellington and Willoughby have recently put up new schools and many ideas for the one proposed here may be taken from them. Kind Not Yet Known. The kind of building that the board wants to erect has not yet been decided upon. Tbe members of the board wish to have more time to investigate the different modern school buildings before putting, the matter to the people. : In building, the board will have to think of the future ot Amherst. The present building has adequately housed the children of the town tor educational purposes tor ten years. At the end of that period the building became overcrowded and Amherst haa needed a new building ever since. The mattes will be brought to the citizens of Amherst ln a special election. Several years ago this method was used and for several reasons the project waa defeated. It ls honed that the people of Amherst will see the need of a new building here and pass the Issue without any hesitation. The local teachers are constantly complaining about tbe lack ot room ln the present echool structure and If Amherst wishes to be on the map ln the educational world and wants to give her children an education equal to that given ln larger cities a larger building and more facilities will be needed. BOY SCOUTS HIKE. The local troop of Hoy Scouts Journeyed to thi* edge of Lake Erie H-itur- day on nn exploring trip. The trip i was enjoyed by all the hoys present. Dinner for the bunch was cooked by themselves and they assure everyone that it realty tasted good. While at the lake attempts were made lo fish 'hrough the Ice. but the i liuys did nut meet with much sue* I oSM at this venture. The local troop plans to have many such outings this spring. They were accompanied by their scoutmaster, It. It. Johnson. GAS COMPANY OFFICIAL HERE t LOOKS INTO THE OAS NEEDS OF i AMHBRST—APPROVES EXTENSIONS OF LINES. YOU CAN.

Smythe and John Fritz, local manager of -the Logan company. With the agent several phases of the gaa situation were looked Into and decisions were made on many matters. It ls the aim of the company to Improve Its service ln this town as much as possible. In several places extensions are needed and these will be taken care of before another winter. Dead lines on streets where gaa la ne longer used will be cut off. Mr. Olmstead says that the company wishes to ahow its appreciation for the raise in rates granted them here. It was necessary that the rates be raised and no objection waa made on the port of the people here. New Applianeee Help Conserve. Many new appliances for gas atoves have been Invented recently end are now being demonstrated at tho local gas ofllce. New stoves that give a •good flame with one-half ounce pressure can be purchased. The gas company is asking every user to look at his stove and see If the burner ls placed lower than necessary from the top plate. Burners too far from the kettle waate gas. It takes more time to heat anything with the burner so low down. Many local people have tried adjusting their stoves as suggested and have found they get better results. Mr. Olmsted cited one Instance of a man who complained because he could not cook with gas. The pressure was tested and and ounce and a half was found. His stove waa readjusted and cleaned put and he had so much pressure that he could not uae all of it. Mr. Olmatead emphaalsed the necessity of letting the gaa company know when you have trouble. Tho local manager can often help you to adjust your stove and offer a suggestion that will save you much annoyance and inconvenience.

One of the "fllghtlngest" basketball games of the winter season was that played last Friday night at the gym when the Furnitures trimmed the Lorain Estarols by a score of 34 to 21. The visitors ran several in stars ln an attempt to get revenge for a former defeat, and ea*rly ln the contest the "rough stuff" started. The Amherst boys returned it and with a good margin to spare, much to the delight of most of the onlookers. The end of the flrst half saw the Furnitures leading 17 to 15. Mitchell went in, and when the visitors grabbed a lead of two points, Chippy Bruce, just up from the sick bed, was placed ln forward position. He tied the score within a half minute, and grabbed four more before the end of the game. The Estarols never made a point after Chippy entered the game. And he •was watched. Three or four Lorain men attempted to keep him from the basket, but he led them a marry chaae. A number of fouls called on the locals for their off-plays were made In the open and easily discernible. No one blamed them however. Milton Baumhart made several beautiful baskets on long shots. His brother waa a bear in guarding.

Attttnunrmrnt With thiB issue of The News-Times, E A Little, editor and manager of the News company for the last nine months, and previous to that proprietor of the Little Print Shop and Amherst Times, severs his connection with the company. Mr. Little has taken the managing editorship of a large trade journal, the Bean Bag, published in the interests of bean growers, Jobbers and dealers, an industry covering the states of Michigan, New York, Colorado, California, New Mexico, South Carolina, and foreign countries, notably Japan and Korea. Publication offices will be established in a central Michigan city, probably Lansing. The Journal is now published,at St. Louis, has a circulation of about 2,000, ls issued monthly, and normally contains 64 pages. R. L. Petty of Elyria comes into the News company as the new manager. He is an experienced business man, a top-notcher as a printer, and will inevitably make the company more than ever a power ln the affairs of Amherst. He will find the company in most excellent shape, financially and mechanically, and has a well established business right from the start. So "Ev" is leaving. Since coming here nearly three years ago, we have built up many lasting friendships, have been honored in many ways by the community, and will leave with a feeling of deepest regret, though naturally looking forward with promise to the future. To those who helped us when things looked darkest, and to those who stayed with us and co-operated in so many ways when the horizon took on a rosier hue, we truly say, from the bottom of our heart: "Thank you, and Ood bless you." B. A. LITTLE. and urged that the rights which had been secured after many years of struggle and even bloodshed, and which are now protected by the Constitution, should not be bartered away to satisfy the towering ambition of one man nor lost by the trickery ot foreign statesmen scheming to draw America into their disputes. Referring to the fact that the working men, the common citizens of this country had furnished by far the greatest number of soldiers ln all our wars, that the sons of these men had seldom sought or received exemption in the late world war, while the sons of the rich had often both sought and received exemption from utility service or been placed in safe and secure positions 3500 miles awuy trom all danger, that number ot sons of common citizens, even from Lorain county were "sleeping In the poppy fields of France." Mr. Stetson said in part, "You men, the workers who earn your bread by the sweat of your brows, who live not by generous Incomes but by the toll of your hands, form the backbone and sinew of the country, I do not believe that you are willing after all these yeurs of progress made by this nutlon largely through the efforts of men like you, will now permit thut progress to be checked or lost by entering entangling alliances against which Washington so earnestly warned. I have Infinite faith in tbe final Judgement of the common, ordinary, every-day American citizen whose forefathers helped to establish this nation as the land of the free and the home of the brave, who fought to preserve as a nation ln tho days of Lincoln antl whose sons have so recently offered themselves as sacrifices to protect our civilization and win the great world wur. ' 1 don't believe these men, slower, perhaps in judgement, but of unquestioned patriotism und loyally und of undaunted courage, knowing as we do that our past progress and success have cojue because we have followed the plans of the fathers laid down lu the Constitution, I don't believe that these men desire now to forsake the course which has brought success and progress and be drawn by this League of Nations in Its present form into all the trouble and quarrels of Europe, Asia, Africa or any other foreign country." Atter the speech a fine musical program wus also given. I other ways. When the organisation I '•..is Ilrst started it was compelled to | meet In the Council room of the Town Hall. Afterward, however, through the generonlty of the Atlas Engineering company u room was given them In the Park bank building. Since that time meetings have been held weekly and sometimes more often and tbe ex-soldiers huve taken much pleasure In the rooms. The Legion turned out In a body to award the Distinguished Service Cross to the mother of one of Amherst's fallen heroes. On Armistice day the largest percentage of the members appeared tn ranks and were given a formal welcome home by tbe people of Amherst. On Fell 16, the greatest dance ever given at Redington hall was conducted by the local post. At that dance the Legion showed Its ability In managing an entertainment and It met with hearty approval here. Several hundred dollars were made by tho dance which "served to Replenish thtT treasury of the Legion. This will be used to start a building fund. The soldiers wish larger quarters for their clubrooms and mean to earn them partly themselves. The locul officers of the post have attended muny state and national meetings and have brought home mes- MfSg for the organization. The Legion has taken a stand on Americanism, and hopes to carry out the pro stitution on the part of the farmer's wife. Just to Illustrate the way the Investments of the farm are arranged the farmer buys a binder, spends about two hundred dollars for It and uses it four or five days a year. For the same amount of money he could buy an electric outfit and save his wife steps every day In the year by pumping water, lighting, running | ^"^TSiw every post"of "the the washing machine, the sewing machine-, the churn, or anything she wants to run. The man too will get benefits from the light produced, ami hy installing small motors here and there he can operate the cream separator, milking machine, pump water for the stock, grind feed, run the grindstone, and numerous other small machines around the barn and house. The demonstration wus something Of a revelation to some of those who saw It and the lectures brought them to see their work und their Investments in a different light, no doubt. MID CHAMPS COMING FRIDAY CLARK MUNY HAS REPUTATION —FURNITURES WANT TO SEE THE GOODS. —•— The World Champion girls' basketball team will he here Friday evening to meet the Amherst Furnitures. It is the Clark Municipal teum of Cleveland. It has gon through the season without a defeut and has had only a few in the last several years. The Amherst team hopes to give the Cleveland aggregation a stiff battle. The Amherst Furniture boys will also play the Clark Munlclpul A boys team on tbe same evening. It is one of Cleveland's fastest and best teams, but Amherst does not tear them as the Furnitures have conquered all the best of Cleveland's teams. Stiff practice has been held several nights this week und the Furnitures are In the pink of condition for the game. The Clark Munies are planning to come here with a special carload of rooters. It Is hoped that there will be plenty Amherst supporters there to root for the home team. The game will be called at S p. in. country. Lots More Coming. The organization does not hope to stop at the good work that has been done hy them. It expects to continue and make this post the greatest of any town of Its size.

Hayloft Gang: The Story of the National Barn Dance With narration by Garrison Keillor, this film brings to life a nearly forgotten iconic American radio show - The National Barn Dance, which celebrated the folk traditions that were fading in an increasingly urbanized America. From its first broadcast in 1924 to its last in 1960, the show served as a touchstone for its audience and was the country's most popular country music radio show during the 1930s and 1940s, essentially defining country and western entertainment in those years.G

President Obama wasn't joking when he said he was a Beyoncé fan.
The diva will, again, help the commander-in-chief ring in his second term in office when she performs the national anthem at Obama's second inauguration on January 21.
Beyoncé will be joined by Kelly Clarkson and James Taylor, who will also perform patriotic songs during the event, according to USA Today.
Clarkson will deliver "My Country, 'Tis of Thee," which was previously handled by soul icon Aretha Franklin (and a now infamous hat) at Obama's first inauguration. Taylor will sing "America the Beautiful."

The old adage is you don't find starting left tackles in the second or third round of the NFL draft. The Dolphins might be able to do exactly that -- sort of -- today.
General manager Jeff Ireland of Miami and general manager John Dorsey of Kansas City are scheduled to speak today before the start of the draft's second round. The two talked during the middle of the first round on Thursday, according to Dorsey, and that's when they agreed to reconvene today.
"We'll see what happens," Dorsey said. "That's kind of where we're at."
The conversation between the two GMs will be about trading left tackle Branden Albert from Kansas City to Miami.
The clubs have been going back and forth on Albert for several days and throughout that time it has been speculated the Chiefs were trying to get the higher of the Dolphins' two second-round draft picks to make the deal. The Dolphins never offered that pick, apparently, and might not have made any significant offer involving a second round pick at all.
Interestingly, the Dolphins traded away the higher of their two second-round picks, No. 42, in order to move up in the first round and take DE/OLB Dion Jordan. They have the 54th overall selection remaining and Dorsey didn't seem upset at the idea that could be enough to acquire Albert.
"Would I make that trade if it was offered to me? I don't know," Dorsey said. "That's an unknown. Until something happens, I really don't know."
The offer may be forthcoming. Of course, if the Dolphins want to play hardball, they might offer a third-rounder, of which they have two. Perhaps they want to offer a 2014 pick.
This much seems possible: Miami can get Albert for the 54th overall pick if they offer it.
If they do that the Dolphins might just find a starting left tackle in the second round.
If you're interested in what I think about the Dolphins landing Jordan on Thursday, go here. To me the pick is obviously of primary importance. But what I truly love is the utter guts of identifying a player and throwing caution to the wind to go get him.
It's a bold move.
It's a cowboy up move.
I cannot guarantee Jordan will be a hit. But as I reported early Thursday afternoon the Dolphins were willing to bet on Jordan enough to trade up to get him because they see the potential for greatness there.
I like that.
Continue to come back throughout the day. Indeed, do not leave. There will be major updates throughout. I'm working on Miami's third-round selections.

From Coker College
HARTSVILLE, S.C. - The Coker College softball team earned a place in the Conference Carolinas softball tournament with a pair of wins over Barton College on Tuesday afternoon. The Lady Cobras won game one 3-1 and then followed that performance up with a 4-2 win in game two. The wins improve Coker to 7-13 in conference play and give them the eighth and final spot in the conference Carolinas tournament.
As the # 8 seed in the tournament, Coker will play the #1 seed Limestone College in the first round of the tournament on Friday, April 16 noon at Byerly Park in Hartsville.
Coker scored all three of their runs in the bottom of the sixth inning thanks to an RBI single from Haleigh Rogers (Ward, S.C.) and a two run double by Anna Oswald (Lexington, S.C.).
Barton's lone run of the game was scored in second inning by Rebecka Morgan.
Sydney Greenwalt (Edwardsville, Ill.) (10-12) picked up the win, going a full seven innings, allowing one run on four hits with two strikeouts.
Kendall Street (4-8) was tagged with the loss, allowing three runs on six hits with two strikeouts.
Rogers was 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored to lead the Lady Cobras, while Oswald had a double with two RBIs. Miranda Klees (Murrells Inlet, S.C.) also had two hits for Coker.
Morgan was the only Barton player with multiple hits, while Jessica McFadden and Amber Fletcher each had a hit.
Much like game one Barton was first to get on the board with two run homer by Kelsey Barnes in the second inning to give the Lady Bulldogs a 2-0 lead, but just like game one the Lady Cobras finally got on the board in the bottom of the sixth inning. Again it was Oswald coming through with another two run double, along with another RBI single from Rogers and an RBI from Brittany Owens (Johnsonville, S.C.).
Greenwalt (11-12) earned her second win of the day with another complete game. She allowed two runs on five hits, while Elizabeth Webb (3-6) took the loss allowing four runs on three hits in two innings of work.
Oswald finished the game 2-for-3 with a double and two RBIs, while Jaclin Poole (Clover, S.C.) and Bri Jacobs (Bolton, N.C.) each had a hit for the Lady Cobras.
Barnes led the Lady Bulldgos, going 1-for-3 with a home run and two RBIs, while Natalie Phipps was 2-for-2 with a run scored.

Concealing pain
Experts: Young girls who wear makeup may be covering up insecurities
Playing dress-up is a time-honored practice among young girls.
Odds are, most women remember a time in their early years when they stalked around in mom's high heels, piled on costume jewelry and, in many cases, slathered lipstick, blush and other makeup on their faces. Such playacting is normal and even healthy among young girls, said Lauren Sardi, assistant professor of sociology at Quinnipiac University in Hamden. But, in some children, using makeup at a young age can indicate a troubled psyche, she warned. "When girls become obsessed about makeup and use it to hide themselves or won't go out without makeup, it can signal that something is going wrong," Sardi said.
Natalie Hoeffel agreed. Hoeffel is director of the Greenwich location of the Renfrew Center Foundation, a national organization dedicated to the prevention and treatment of eating disorders. Late last year, the center -- which has 12 facilities in 10 states -- released a survey of 572 girls, 8 to 18, and found that 58 percent of them wore makeup. That included 15 percent of those 8 to 10 years old and 50 percent of those 11 to 13.
Hoeffel, Sardi and other health professionals said the prevalence of makeup use in children is troubling, as it can indicate a negative self image. That, in turn, could lead to extreme behaviors, including eating disorders. It's not a simple cause and effect. "It's not like every 8-year-old who uses makeup is going to have an eating disorder," Hoeffel said. But early makeup use can be an indicator of body image woes, particularly if a girl won't leave home without it. "The concern comes from people trying to use makeup as a mask to hide other things," Hoeffel said.
Sardi agreed. "I actually see it as a way for girls to have control over (their appearance)," she said.
According to the Renfrew study, more than a quarter of the girls who wore makeup reported rarely or never leaving the house without it, and that at least 20 percent of those who have ever worn makeup said they had negative feelings when they went without the products. The research was done in connection with the Barefaced & Beautiful campaign Renfrew launched a few years ago. The campaign asks women to go without makeup on a specific day during National Eating Disorders Awareness Week, which took place Feb. 24 to March 2 this year.
The idea is to get girls and young women to recognize their beauty. Hoeffel said it's often heart-breaking to hear children with body image and other appearance issues complain about their freckles or their nose or some other supposed flaw. "How many 8-year-olds have you seen who aren't beautiful?," she said.
Others specializing in eating disorders also believe there's a link between early makeup use and poor self image, including Claire Mysko, teen coordinator of the National Eating Disorder Association. Mysko also oversees the association's Proud2BMe website, which is geared toward building self-esteem in girls and young women. Like Hoeffel, Mysko said there's no evidence of a direct correlation between makeup use and eating disorders, but the impulses that cause 8-year-old girls to cover their faces with blush aren't that much different than those that can lead to eating disorders. "We can certainly make a link between self-esteem and makeup, and definitely low self-esteem and poor body image are risk factors for eating disorders," she said. "It's a piece of the puzzle."
Another piece of the puzzle is the media. Mysko said girls continue to be influenced by thin models on magazine covers and even by such TV shows as "Toddlers & Tiaras," about child beauty pageant contestants. "So many things out there send the message that girls' self-worth is very much connected to appearance," Mysko said. "That's very damaging for young girls."
Sardi cautioned that not all early makeup use is linked to low self-esteem. If, for instance, a girl sees all of her friends wearing makeup, she might want to wear it, too, in an effort to fit in. But if your child's relationship to makeup seems obsessive or she won't leave the house without makeup, Sardi said you might want to speak to a pediatrician, therapist or other professional.
She and others also recommended that mothers and other female role models set an example by going barefaced on occasion. "You can show your daughter that mom doesn't wear makeup when she's going to the gym or the grocery store," Sardi said.

If you're one of those people who take stock of your life whenever you're next to a fancy sports car — and usually don't like what you see — we've got some bad news:
You're in for a tough summer.
Exotic, luxury car ownership is making a comeback, and according to Jim Appleton — president of the New Jersey Coalition of Automotive Retailers and current chairman of the Automotive Trade Association Executives — there's no better place to capitalize on it than in the Garden State.
"New Jersey is exactly the kind of place these dealerships should locate," Appleton said. "We have one of the nation's strongest car markets, especially for high-end vehicles, because New Jersey is one of the top average income states in the nation.
"If not here, where?"
In May, Maserati opened a dealership in the Whippany section of Hanover. Later this month, Aston Martin will open its newest U.S. appointment in Summit.
The reason is simple:
"There's money in Morris County," said Joe Ripolino, general sales manager at Maserati of Morris County, where 80 percent of its buyers are Morris County residents.
The same holds true for Summit, which is in the heart of some of the wealthiest towns in the country.
"We also have proximity to a real wealth base in Chatham, New Vernon, Mendham, Bernardsville, Madison and Westfield," said Kevin Flanagan, president of Aston Martin Summit.
"With brands of this nature, you have to have clientele that can afford it. To purchase and experience and own one is what makes these cars what they are — pieces of art you can drive around."
But while it makes sense for luxury dealerships to be in high-income towns, that's not always the case.
"Dealership locations are dictated more by local zoning and availability of suitable auto retail and service facilities," Appleton said. "Not surprisingly, many towns full of prospective exotic car owners don't provide for dealerships in their zoning ordinances."
This means that although Maserati's Morris County location already is outselling other established Maserati dealers in its second month of business, Maserati is smart to be selling in Edison and Palmyra, too.
Ripolino said Maserati sold 3,600 cars nationwide last year — and is hoping to increase its sales to 50,000 in the U.S. this year.
Maserati, which has its North American headquarters in Englewood Cliffs, is trying to go mainstream and be as ubiquitous as a BMW.
Price point is still an issue. The cheapest model starts at roughly $66,000, but $80,000 is a more realistic starting point.
So far, Maserati is doing well: 171 were registered in New Jersey between Jan. 1 to the end of April, according to the New Jersey Coalition of Automotive Retailers. That compares to just 56 during the same time last year, a more than 200 percent increase.
Aston Martin registered just 10 cars the first four months, but that's compared to just two during the same time last year. And more are coming.
Though Aston Martin Summit's showroom doesn't open until this week, Flanagan said it already has received a private order and has four other interested buyers.
With the base price for its cheapest model, the Vantage GT, being $99,500, one has to wonder: Is New Jersey really in such bad economic shape?
"The economy is returning, particularly the Wall Street economy, which we are a bedroom community of," Flanagan said.
Before you cry Wolf of Wall Street just yet, consider this:
"Car sales are up across the board and a higher tide floats all boats, including luxury and exotic brands," Appleton said.
Still — with the most common car in New Jersey being the Honda Accord — it's not likely fellow residents will be fond of the increased reminders of their struggle to get rich, too.
So the next time you see a shiny new car out of the corner of your eye, you may be better off keeping your eyes on the road.
If your boss, neighbor, rival or — dare we say it — your ex tells you they just bought a Maserati, odds are they're lying.
According to Joe Ripolino, general sales manager at Maserati of Morris County, 80 percent of Maserati "owners" are actually leasing.
"A lot of these are third and fourth cars and are not frequently used for transportation," Ripolino said.
Same goes for Aston Martin, though the odds are slightly more difficult to prove.
Kevin Flanagan, president of Aston Martin Summit, said 50 to 60 percent of Aston Martin consumers typically lease the vehicles, with the remainder more likely to pay in full.

Too many symptoms ... I'm coming to see you
Jun 2, 2006
Hey Dr. Bob.
i've written before but haven't gotten a response. My symptoms are persisting so I decided I need to come to The Frascino Medical Group to find out what's really gong on with me.
I remember seeing something in the old posts about someone coming to see you and they wound up having lemon's syndrome and someone else had something wrong with their feet that was causing all their problems. i wanted to discuss these cases with my doctor but i can't find them in the old questions posted --- there are so so many!!! --- would there be any chance you could re-post them for me and also post the number to call for an appointment at your office?
Response from Dr. Frascino
Hey Zinger,
I think I may understand why you had difficulty finding those posts in the archives! I'm willing to bet the "lemon's syndrome" was really Lyme's disease, and the feet problem was toenail fungus. I'll repost those below. If that's not what you were searching for, write back, OK?
The number for an appointment at the Frascino Medical Group, Inc. is 650-917-1357.
Be well.
Dr. Bob
So many symptoms. I'm cured at last!!!!!! Mar 25, 2006
Hey Doctor Bob,
Words are inadequate to express my thanks. Following my visit to The Frascino Medical Group I am finally on my way to being truly healthy for the first time in years. After so many doctors, so many symptoms, so many tests, so many sleepless nights, I finally made an appointment at your office and saw Dr. Steve. What a cutie-patootie he is and such a sweetheart too! And that picture of shirtless Dr. Bob he has on his desk OMG I had trouble staying focused.
Dr. Steve actually listened to me as I rattled on and on about my symptoms and how I was absolutely convinced I was HIV positive. He didnt rush me in and out like so many other offices. I was there for 2.5 hours! He reviewed all my old records and even called one of my old doctors to get the results of a blood test that wasnt in my file. He examined me in more detail than anyone ever has before and Ive seen lots and lots of doctors over the years! He even held my hand for the full 20 minutes while he did the HIV rapid test in the office. When he said negative I cried and hugged him so hard Im surprised I didnt break his ribs! And what about all my symptoms? Well, just as he predicted, I have Lymes disease!!!! Ha!
I just wanted everyone to know there really is hope out there. Please listen to what Dr. Bob says. See an HIV specialist who knows what they are doing. I have a new lease on life thanks to my visit to Los Altos California. Dr. Bob, I saw you on the phone in your Foundations office while I was seeing Dr. Steve. You looked up, saw me, and smiled that famous Dr. Bob smile and waved even though we have never met. I almost melted and from that instant on I knew everything was going to be OK. Well, things are much more than OK they are absofrickinlutely wonderful!!!! Dr. Bob as I told Dr. Steve, Ill be making a donation to your foundation and will try to get my company to donate something wonderful for your next silent auction. Im also sending you a personal little thank-you gift that I think youll get a kick out of.
Thanks again Dr. Bob and Dr. Steve --- more than youll ever know
Mr. Cured-at-Last
Response from Dr. Frascino:
Hello Mr. Cured-at-Last,
Gosh, I was wondering why Dr. Steve came home all bruised that evening. You squished him with happiness?!?!
Congratulations and WOO-HOO! I've never seen anyone so happy to have Lyme's disease before! I'm delighted to hear you are "on the mend," as they say in Australia. Thank you for:
1. Your very kind comments.
2. Your donation, thank-you gift and possible silent auction item.
3. Not breaking my honey's ribs.
Stay well. (I'm sure you will.)
Dr. Bob
Lyme, Orange, Banana?? Mar 6, 2004
Dear Dr. Bob,
Huge fan of a great person that is more caring than anyone I know. Yep, that is you! Just one question!! Can Lyme Disease effect the seroconversion window with HIV? I had a negative ELISA test at 13 weeks...and am still worrying because of my possible exposure to Lyme Disease!!! Just need your info and love! Thanks in advance Dr. Bob!!!!
Response from Dr. Frascino:
Hi Tony,
Lyme Disease will not affect HIV test results, and neither will orange or banana. Limes may be key (as in Key Lime Pie), but let's face it: you just can't beat the shape of a firm banana.
Stay well.
Dr. Bob
So Many Doctors, So Many Tests, and Finally You Figured it Out!!!! May 26, 2006
Hey Dr. Bob and Dr. Steve,
I just returned from dropping off a thank-you gift at your office. Certainly words and gifts will never be enough to truly express my gratitude!
I was a wreck when I came to see you 6 months ago. And when Dr. Steve confirmed that my lymph nodes in my groin were indeed abnormally swollen I nearly had a heart attack right in your office. Do you remember how much I cried? Ill bet youll never forget that! My tests had been negative but persistent swollen lymph glands that showed up after my unprotected sex with that skanky hooker overseas had me absolutely convinced it was HIV! So many doctors gave me so many tests and so many different diagnoses and some even said maybe it would turn out to be HIV. Gosh no wonder I was nuttier than a fluffernutter!
I finally decided I needed to see you, if for nothing else other than moral support on how to survive living with AIDS. My trip to Los Altos was the smartest thing Ive ever done in my entire life. Dr. Steve spent 3 hours reviewing my extensive medical records, each and every one of my test results, and did the most thorough medical examination of my life! He even hugged me while I cried and cried and cried!
You guys were the only ones who even mentioned the possibility that my toe nail fungus could be the cause of my swollen lymph glands in my groin! I must admit I was a bit skeptical myself. However now 6 months later (it took 2 three month courses to finally clear up) my nails are normal and my swollen glands have disappeared for the first time in 5 years!!!! Im cured!!!!!!!! WOO-HOO!!!!!
Miracles do happen and those miracles are named Dr. Bob and Dr. Steve.
I hope you like the thank-you gift. Ill also be contributing to your Foundation and I promise to get my company to donate an item for your next live auction!
Please know you both are dearly loved.
Cured at Last
Response from Dr. Frascino:
Hello Cured at Last,
Excellent news! We couldn't be happier for you. Gosh, have six months passed already? We are still trying to dry the carpets out form your flood of crocodile tears! It looked like post-Katrina New Orleans in here after you left that day.
Thank you for your kind comments and generous gifts! The Frascino Medical Group, Inc. is always here to help! (650-917-1357).
Please stay well. (I don't think our levees could withstand another onslaught like last time!)
Dr. Bob and Dr. Steve

Deutsche Bank's Chris Whitmore used IDC's figures and added the iPad into the mix - a type of device normally excluded from IDC's figures (which looks at traditional computers like desktops and laptops). The result? Apple suddenly has the largest marketshare in the US computer market, at 25%. The discussion that has ensued is this: is the iPad a PC? Should it be included?
I'd say the discussion shouldn't focus on whether or not the iPad should be included - but about what that means for other types of devices. If the iPad is considered a computer along the lines of laptops and desktops, then why isn't the iPhone or iPod Touch considered a computer as well? What about all those Android phones out there? Hardware-wise, they're all pretty much the same; the iPad is just a large iPhone with UI tweaks to make better use of the larger screen.
How much more can you do on an iPad that you can't do on an iPhone? The iPad surely makes some things more comfortable, but then again, a normal desktop PC makes some things more comfortable than a laptop. In the end, both the modern smartphone and the tablet are used for the exact same thing: consuming media, playing games, browsing, and keeping in touch with friends. It's just that smartphones are used on the go, whereas tablets are used at your destination.
In other words, if the iPad should be included in computer sales figures, shouldn't modern smartphones be included as well? If not, is screen size what determines whether something is included or not? A 4.3" smartphone should be excluded, but what about the 7" Samsung Galaxy Tab? What if someone makes a pocketable dual 3.5" Courier-like device?
I think the time is ripe to remove the distinction between smartphones/tablets/computers altogether. The iPad, the iPhone, the EVO 4G, HTC Desire HD - they're all computers, and they should all be included in these figures. Suddenly, Nokia would be one of the largest computer manufacturers in the world. A whole bag of cookies for anyone who can combine smartphone/tablet/computer market share figures into a single graph or chart.

|Generic Name
Quinine is always used with either doxycycline, tetracycline, or clindamycin for treating malaria.
You usually take quinine as a tablet (orally).
Quinine prevents the development of malaria parasites in the blood.
To treat malaria, you can take quinine alone for 3 to 7 days, but it is more common to take quinine along with 1 of 3 other medicines (doxycycline, tetracycline, or clindamycin) for 7 days.1
Quinine plus another medicine is used for chloroquine-resistant malaria (where chloroquine is no longer effective against the malaria parasite).
All medicines have side effects. But many people don't feel the side effects, or they are able to deal with them. Ask your pharmacist about the side effects of each medicine you take. Side effects are also listed in the information that comes with your medicine.
Here are some important things to think about:
Call 911 or other emergency services right away if you have:
Common side effects of quinine include:
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
Quinine given through a needle directly into a vein (intravenously, or IV) is not available in Canada, but intravenous quinidine, as a substitute, works just as well.
Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. Taking medicine as your doctor suggests will improve your health and may prevent future problems. If you don't take your medicines properly, you may be putting your health (and perhaps your life) at risk.
There are many reasons why people have trouble taking their medicine. But in most cases, there is something you can do. For suggestions on how to work around common problems, see the topic Taking Medicines as Prescribed.
If you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant, do not use any medicines unless your doctor tells you to. Some medicines can harm your baby. This includes prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, herbs, and supplements. And make sure that all your doctors know that you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant.
Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if you are having problems. It's also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.

In 2002, Jeffrey "Jeff" Havard was wrongfully convicted and sentenced to death in Mississippi for the sexual assault and murder of his girlfriend's six-month-old daughter, Chloe Britt. In May of 2016, the Mississippi Supreme Court ordered an evidentiary hearing for Jeff's case based on defense claims of new evidence due to changes in the science behind Shaken Baby Syndrome.
In September of 2018, Jeff's death penalty sentence was vacated, and a re-sentencing hearing was ordered. Jeff is currently off of death row, but his fight is far from over.
The truth about this case is clear. Chloe slipped from Jeff's arms while lifting her from the tub after a bath, causing her head to hit a nearby toilet. New expert evidence supports Jeff's claims. Chloe's death was a tragic accident, not a murder. Jeff Havard is innocent.
On the evening of February 21, 2002, Jeffrey Havard's live-in girlfriend went to a store to buy groceries, leaving her six-month-old infant, Chloe, in Jeff's care. Chloe spit up on her clothing and bedding. Jeff gave her a bath, and he accidentally dropped her. Her head struck the toilet.
Chloe did not seem to be seriously injured, so Jeff changed her into clean clothes, put her to bed, and said nothing about what had happened. When the baby's mother first checked on her that evening, she seemed fine. A short time later, however, she discovered that Chloe did not appear to be breathing. She and Jeff took the baby to a hospital emergency room, where she died after attempts to resuscitate her failed.
There is no question that Jeff exercised bad judgment that night. He should have explained what had happened right away. But he did not want to admit he had dropped the baby, so he said nothing. It was a big mistake. Medical personnel did not know what had triggered the emergency, and they misunderstood what they saw. Serious brain damage often causes a patient's sphincter muscle to relax, so the anus becomes dilated. That was what happened to Chloe. The doctors and nurses treating the baby thought it meant she had been anally raped.
They were not the first medical professionals to misread this condition. Similar allegations have arisen in enough cases to warrant a systematic study of accidental deaths involving children. Researchers found that anal dilation in such cases is a common phenomenon. It is not an indicator of sexual abuse.
The hospital staff who treated Chloe, and the police who were called in to investigate, did not know this. Jeff was arrested and held in custody. Two days later, when he finally told police what had happened, the late disclosure only served to damage his credibility. By then, authorities believed he had raped and killed an infant.
This was the story that circulated through the community as well. Rumors took on a life of their own, blurring the line between fact and imagination. By the time Jeff was tried, in December 2002, witnesses who had seen the baby at the hospital were recalling injuries that are not shown in photos or recorded in the autopsy report. Defense attorneys did little to challenge these witnesses or explain the medical evidence, which they did not understand themselves. Jeff was convicted of capital murder and sentenced to death in a proceeding that lasted less than two days.
The jury may have reached the only decision they could, because the trial did not clarify the facts of the medical report or what these facts really mean. Two forensic pathologists examined the medical report after the trial, and both concluded that Chloe's death was accidental. Her autopsy revealed none of the injuries that would surely be present had she been sexually assaulted. Even the prosecution's medical expert, Dr. Steven Hayne, has repeatedly stated that the evidence does not support a claim of sexual assault.
Hayne clarified in a 2014 affidavit that he specifically told prosecutors on more than one occasion prior to trial that he could not support a finding a sexual abuse. This information was withheld from the defense, which is a Brady violation.
Most shockingly, the defense learned in January of 2014, 12 years after the conviction, that Hayne had looked at tissue sections under a microscope and found definitively that there was no evidence of sexual assault. In a case where suspicion of sexual assault only arose when ER doctors and nurses noticed what they believed to be physical evidence of sexual abuse. Hayne's microscopic findings were clearly exculpatory, and would have positively shown that the doctors and nurses had simply misinterpreted what they saw. The state withheld this evidence from the defense as well and failed to tell the doctors and nurses about it before they testified.
Unbelievably, the State chose to ignore Hayne's findings and prosecute Jeff for murder during the course of a sexual assault.
Prosecutors stood before the Court and told the jury that Dr. Hayne had "confirmed the nurses and doctors worst fear, that this child had been sexually abused." They knew that Dr. Hayne had done no such thing; in fact, he had done just the opposite. Jeffrey Havard is on death row because the prosecution lied to the jury.
A reasonable jury, presented with the evidence that was illegally withheld from the defense, would have reached a different verdict.
Jeffrey Havard is the first to admit he was guilty of bad judgment on the night Chloe died. He was 22 years old, and he was scared. But he did not commit murder in the course of a sexual assault. He has spent more than a decade on death row, awaiting execution for a crime that never took place.

Death row inmate among many challenging pathologist's findings
Time is running out for Jeff Havard, who is sitting on death row convicted of murder. But now, the man who helped put him there is under fire. "I'm not one to usually use the language, but it's pure hell knowing that unless something comes about, that he could by laying there, you know, and put to death for something that didn't happen," said his Havard's mother, Cheryl Havard Harrell.

The alleged sexual abuse, the underlying felony, qualified the case for the death penalty.

September 24, 2018: Murder evidence evaporated, but Jeffrey Havard still sits in a Mississippi prison
By Radley Balko
On Sept. 14, Adams County Circuit Judge Forrest A. Johnson ordered a new sentencing trial for Havard. But Johnson's opinion didn't go nearly far enough. It was sloppily written, wrong on the law and in many ways a cop-out. But it was also merely the latest of more than 15 years of court opinions that have failed Havard.

Banded Mongoose
(Mungos mungo)
Facts about this animal
Banded mongooses are middle-sized mongooses with a head-body length of about 47 cm, a tapered tail of 28 cm, and a weight of about 1.4 kgs. They are characterized by a series of thin, dark bands across the back, which are most noticeable on lower back and fade away on lower flanks. The body colour ranges from whitish to reddish-brown, with variation among specimens, with darker legs and tail tip. They have five fingers on each hand, and four toes on each foot. Their fore claws are longer and more curved than their back claws and are used for scratching and digging. The muzzle is relatively long and conical in shape. They lack a groove on their upper lip, found in other mongoose species. There is no apparent sexual dimorphism. Females have three pairs of abdominal teats.
Banded mongooses are social animals living in matriarchally organized bands of about 30, sometimes up to 75 individuals. Every member of the group will care for the very young and the elderly, providing food and protection, as well as grooming them. They are diurnal, emerging from their dens, usually a termite mound, in the morning sun and returning to them in the late afternoon Banded mongooses tend to be nomadic, as they will not stay in a particular area for more than a couple of days to a week.
Females become sexually mature around 9 to 10 months of age. There are usually 3-4 breeding females in one band, which seem to inhibit breeding of lower ranked females and about as many reproductive males. Gestation is approximately 2 months, and litter size is variable, ranging from two to six. The cubs are born blind with a sparse amount of hair and will leave the den for short excursions around 4 weeks of age.
Did you know?
That the word mongoose comes from the Marathi (Indian) word mangus? By the way, the plural is mongooses, not mongeese, even if the British Scrabble Players Association pretends the contrary!

Preparing Your Home for Inspection
Congratulations on getting your home under contract. First impressions also count when it comes to your home's inspection—make a small investment of time and money to create a good impression for the home inspector and reinforce why the buyers liked your house. Here are some suggestions to help you have a successful home inspection.
- Confirm that water, electric, gas service are on, with gas pilot light burning.
- Ensure pets won't hinder the inspection. Ideally, they should be removed from premises or secured outside. Tell your agent about any pets at home.
- Replace burned out bulbs to avoid a "light is inoperable" report that may suggest an electrical problem.
- Test smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and replace dead batteries.
- Clean or replace dirty HVAC air filters. They should fit securely.
- Remove stored items, debris and wood from foundation. These may be cited as "conducive conditions" for termites.
- Remove items blocking access to HVAC equipment, electrical service panels, closets, fence gates and crawl spaces.
- Unlock areas the inspector must access - attic doors or hatches, electric service panels, closets, fence gates and crawl spaces.
- Trim tree limbs to 10' from the roof and shrubs from the house to allow access.
- Attend to broken or missing items like doorknobs, locks and latches; windowpanes, screens and locks; gutters, downspouts and chimney caps.

NOTE: WIS does not condone or support sports betting.
COLUMBIA, SC (WIS) - According to Las Vegas oddsmakers, the Clemson Tigers have the best chance in the state of South Carolina to win next season's national college football championship.
The Tigers, who finished 11-2, are favored 16-1 to take it all, according to Bovada Sportsbook.
The return of Tajh Boyd for his senior season was likely on oddsmakers minds when deciding what might happen this fall.
South Carolina's odds are 28-1.
The 11-2 Gamecocks are losing some noteworthy players, including Marcus Lattimore and D.J. Swearinger, but will see the return of Connor Shaw, Ace Sanders, and Jadeveon Clowney.
Both teams won their respective bowl games in thrilling fashion.
Fresh off the 2012-13 BCS championship, Alabama is favored to win the national championship again with 4-1 odds.
Tied for second on the list are Ohio State and Oregon with 17-2 odds.
Two SEC teams, Texas A&M and LSU, round out the top 5 with 10-1 and 12-1 odds respectively.
No matter how the teams do during the season, USC and Clemson will meet for the "state" championship on November 30 at Williams Brice Stadium in Columbia.

Polar Star Knife Bull Horn (Stag)
This knife is made from a beautifl bull horn (stag) 4 1/2" when closed and 8 1/2" when opened.
Polar Star knives are now available at the Alaska Mint. These knives are handmade in Allendorf Germany. They use a variety of exotic materials for the handles, blades. Guarenteed not to brake under normal conditions.
Hand forged damascus steel (very time consuming) Mixture of tool steel (carbon) and spring steel (nickel) one man holds the steel in a furenace, when it is red hot he pulls it out and four men hammer the steel until cool, then it goes back in the furnace to be reheated. Folded 9 to 10 times making 300 to 400 layers.
