PIERRE, S.D. — South Dakota Gov. Dennis Daugaard said Friday he will once again ask federal officials to let South Dakota expand its Medicaid program in a way that would provide medical services only to those most in need.
The Republican governor made a similar request last year, but U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius turned it down. Daugaard said federal officials now may be more willing to let the state expand Medicaid to cover a smaller group of people than envisioned in the federal health overhaul law.
"I want to keep that conversation going," Daugaard said.
The federal health overhaul gives states the option of expanding Medicaid to cover people earning up to 138 percent of the federal poverty level. Daugaard wants to expand eligibility only up to 100 percent of the poverty level because those above that mark can buy subsidized private insurance through the new health care law.
Daugaard sent a letter Friday asking Sebelius if she would consider such a partial expansion of Medicaid. If she approves, the state budget passed by the Legislature in March could make provisions for expanding Medicaid, subject to federal approval of a detailed agreement.
The governor's letter says South Dakota is interested in providing Medicaid coverage to people earning less than 100 percent of the poverty level who are working or have lost jobs in the past 12 months. He said the proposal was developed after meetings with Republican legislative leaders.
Daugaard said South Dakotans believe in self-reliance, hard work and perseverance, so those earning above 100 percent of the poverty level should buy subsidized insurance through the federally operated online exchange.
"We want to help those who can't help themselves. Those who can help themselves should," he said.
South Dakota's Medicaid program now covers about 116,000 children, adults and disabled people. The full expanded eligibility would add an estimated 48,000 people, mostly adults without children.
People earning up to 138 percent of the poverty level — about $16,000 for a single person or $33,000 for a family of four — would be covered by a full expansion. The federal government would fully cover those added to Medicaid rolls through 2016, and the state's contribution would rise in stages to 10 percent of the costs by 2020.
An expansion to 100 percent of the poverty level would cover a single person earning up to about $11,700 and a family of four earning $23,850.
Senate Majority Leader Tim Rave, R-Baltic, said he wants to provide Medicaid coverage to people most in need. One example would be a single parent with kids who works but cannot afford to buy insurance, he said.
"It's the right thing to do to try and help the most needy in South Dakota," Rave said. "We're looking for something that is a common sense, conservative approach to helping those South Dakotans who are working hard but just having a hard time making ends meet."
House Minority Leader Bernie Hunhoff, D-Yankton, said Democrats would prefer to expand Medicaid to cover everyone up to 138 percent of the poverty level but said the governor's proposal would be a good start.
"Half a loaf is better than nothing," Hunhoff said.
Hunhoff said he hopes the governor's proposal does not impose a work requirement on those who get Medicaid under an expansion. Many low-income people cannot find jobs because of disabilities or other problems, he said.
Daugaard said he still worries that the federal government will be unable to fulfill its promise to pay most of the cost of expanding Medicaid.
"I'm concerned about the ability of the federal government to control itself and its spending," he said.

Well folks the US Government decided to pursue the worst of the possible scenarios. One should not expect the insane to be reasonable I suppose. Their ears are closed tight and I was not able to help them. This presents a huge problem as they have not proven consent or a lawful chain of authority so you need not be bound to contract when you achieve a state of responsibility and remove your consent.

text: content April 7, 2009 DHA reduces tumor growth In an article published online on April 1, 2009 in the journal Cell Division, Egyptian researchers report that the omega-3 fatty acid docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), found in fish and the algae they consume, not only offers its own protection against tumor growth, but improves the chemotherapeutic effects of cisplatin while reducing its toxicity. Professor A. M. El-Mowafy of Mansoura University's Department of Biochemistry and associates administered 125 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) DHA, 250 mg/kg of DHA, cisplatin alone, cisplatin combined with 125 mg/kg DHA, or a control substance to groups of 8 to 10 mice implanted with mammary carcinoma cells. A group of mice not implanted with tumor cells served as controls. Serum C-reactive protein (CRP, a marker of inflammation), white blood cells, and MDA (a marker of lipid peroxidation) were measured, and tumor development was assessed after 20 days. Mice injected with cancer cells experienced significantly elevated levels of C-reactive protein, white blood cells, and lipid peroxidation compared with control mice. These levels were reduced in animals that received cisplatin and/or DHA. While treatment with 125 mg/kg DHA inhibited tumor growth by 38 percent compared to untreated animals, 250 mg/kg suppressed tumor growth by 79 percent, which was a greater effect than that of cisplatin alone (which was associated with a 55 percent reduction). The combination of DHA and cisplatin resulted in an 81 percent inhibition of growth, while reducing elevated white blood cell levels (leukocytosis) to normal levels. Treatment with the higher dose of DHA alone was associated with a similar reduction in white blood cells, which, when elevated, are associated with tumor growth. A strong relationship was observed between tumor growth and white blood cell levels as well as C-reactive protein levels. In another experiment with rats treated with cisplatin, the addition of 250 mg/kg DHA prevented lethal kidney toxicity in 88 percent of the animals that received it, while none of the rats that received cisplatin alone survived. "DHA elicited prominent chemopreventive effects on its own, and appreciably augmented those of cisplatin as well," Dr El-Mowafy commented. "Furthermore, this study is the first to reveal that DHA can obliterate lethal cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity and renal tissue injury." "The chemoprevention elicited by DHA was dose-dependent, and appeared to be mediated by reduction of leukocytosis, oxidative stress, and replenishing of endogenous antioxidant machinery," the authors write. "Most strikingly, a strong anti-inflammatory effect was produced that was highly reflected by reduction in CRP level. We provided novel, strong evidence that CRP serves as a sensitive diagnostic/prognostic marker both for tumor progression and responsiveness to chemotherapy in solid tumors." "In essence, the renal protective and animal rescuing effects obtained for DHA, as well as its capacity to ameliorate leukocytosis, oxidant stress and inflammation, further substantiate its produced chemoprevention/chemo-enhancing profiles," they conclude. "This could, therefore, suggest a new fruitful drug regimen in the management of solid tumors based on combining cisplatin with DHA." Cancer chemotherapy According to the National Cancer Institute, almost all normal cells grow and die in a controlled way through a process called apoptosis. Cancer cells, on the other hand, keep dividing and forming more cells without a control mechanism to induce normal apoptosis. Anticancer drugs destroy cancer cells by stopping them from growing or dividing at one or more points in their growth cycle. Chemotherapy may consist of one or several cytotoxic drugs that kill cells by one or more mechanisms. The chemotherapy regimen chosen by most conventional oncologists is based on the type of cancer being treated. The goal of chemotherapy is to shrink primary tumors, slow the tumor growth, and kill cancer cells that may have spread (metastasized) to other parts of the body from the original, primary tumor. However, chemotherapy kills both cancer cells and healthy normal cells. Oncologists try to minimize damage to normal cells and to enhance the cell killing (cytotoxic) effect on cancer cells. Too often, unfortunately, this delicate balance is not achieved. In another study, a group of dogs with lymphoma were randomized to receive either a diet supplemented with arginine and fish oil or just soybean oil. Dogs on the fish oil and arginine diet had a significantly longer disease-free survival time than dogs on the soybean oil (Ogilvie et al. 2000). Life Extension magazine April, 2009 issue now online!

Of the startups I've worked with since launching my consulting business, I'd say 90% have developed a product that has addressed a need or solved a problem. This isn't to suggest all of them have succeeded but their products had the potential to become a viable business.
For all the talk about social media, content marketing and the sales funnel, a startup's prospects hinge on the product.
You can put lipstick on a pig but if a product fails to meet a need, solve a problem or, frankly, sucks, traction is difficult, if not impossible, to achieve.
It's something too many entrepreneurs can overlook because they're so excited about doing a startup. It is painful to run into an entrepreneur who thinks they're onto something when, in fact, it's pretty obvious their idea is going nowhere fast.
Many entrepreneurs fail to realize their product isn't viable because their eternal optimism doesn't let them think rationally. Maybe their "product" is nothing more than a quasi-interesting feature, perhaps it only appeals to a small niche, or it's attempting to compete against bigger and better rivals.
Even then, many entrepreneurs will continue a Don Quixote quest to attract customers. This could carry on for months and involve continual iterations, a wave of new features or even a pivot. Still, a bad product is still a bad product no matter have much TLC it gets.
At some point, a startup entrepreneur has to see the writing on the wall. They need to decide whether the product has absolutely no appeal (the worst case scenario), or whether it seems to be resonating with certain customer segments (aka a ray of hope). In the latter case, the product may have shot at gaining some potential if the right moves are made.
To be honest, most products don't evolve or have the opportunity to head in a new, better direction. Far too often, entrepreneurs are far too married to an idea that simply doesn't work and, as a result, they're trying to force their product into a market that doesn't want or need it.
One last thought: Even with a good product, startups need to execute well from a marketing and sales perspective. It means have a strategic plan, and then figuring out how to pull the right levers at the right time – something that is easier said than done.
Note: The inspiration for post came from Kissmetrics, which published a post "13 critically important lessons from over 50 growth hackers". Coming in at #12 was: It's the product stupid.
"In the final assessment, growth hacking, when deployed in the service of a bad product, is a waste of life. Sorry, it needs to be said that bluntly. Engineering growth for something meaningful and important is a noble cause. Pushing a lazy idea, with lazy execution, is not worthy of your energy. Your results won't be lasting no matter what your charts look like in the short-term. Time breaks all hockey sticks that are not owned by great products."Tagged products, startup

Beaufort Arsenal – Beaufort , South Carolina
South Carolina | SC Picture Project | Beaufort County Photos | Beaufort Arsenal
The Beaufort Arsenal was constructed in 1798 from brick and tabby. It was home to the Beaufort Volunteer Artillery, whose valiant history traces back to the Revolutionary War. The arsenal is now one of several Beaufort museums. It displays war and industrial artifacts, including two historic brass trophy guns.
The Beaufort Volunteer Artillery was a militia of prominent citizens who came together to protect Beaufort and its ports during times of war. The Beaufort Arsenal was built to serve as their headquarters and to store weapons. According to Major Scott Bell, a historian for the SC National Guard, the men were not officially recognized as the Beaufort Volunteer Artillery until 1776 – even though they had organized many decades earlier to fight off attacks from Indian tribes, Spaniards, and even pirates!
During the Revolutionary War, the Beaufort Volunteer Artillery fought in battles up and down the coast. It was considered one of South Carolina's best-outfitted and best-manned militias, and it helped drive the British off Port Royal Island in 1779.
The Beaufort Volunteer Artillery fought for the Confederate Army during the Civil War, participating in the battles of Pocotaligo, Honey Hill, and Coosawatchie. The artillery was eventually disbanded in the late 1870s and became part of South Carolina's naval militia.

Last Look is a domestic horror film that blurs the line between fantasy and reality, the theater and real life. Based on true events, the story probes beneath the shiny surface of suburbia to discover sadomasochistic violence, savage theatricality, role-playing and abuse. Betsy Beutler stars as Susan, a square-jawed young woman who returns to her secluded childhood home after her twin sister dies. She is soon drawn into a dangerous drama that is being played out by her faded actress mother, Barbara (Jill Jacobson) and her obsessive film-maker brother (Josh Watson). The sociopathic Barbara has written a play, entitled "Best Performance" and is using her children as her cast. The scenes are filled with painful longing, tender romanticism, and past humiliations. Susan is drawn into her family's theatrical world and is also aroused by Bill, and in trying to aid him, she discovers her dark side. As the film nears its conclusion, our heroine learns that she must give the performance of her life in order to survive the night.

Girls' Generation Seohyun's "manner hands" prevents another incident
Girls' Generation's maknae, Seohyun (21), has gained attention yet again for her "manner hands." Recently on an online community board, users created a topic titled, "Caring Seohyun helps Taeyeon unnie with her dress." Images of Girls' Generation and several other artists exiting the stage at the MBC "Korean Music Wave in Google" concert was uploaded.
The MBC "Korean Music Wave in Google" concert took place on May 21st at Mountain View, California. In the images, Seohyun can be seen helping Taeyeon with her long dress from behind as they walk off the stage together, preventing an accident in which Taeyeon would have most likely tripped on her dress.
Last month, another such incident was seen on Mnet's "Wide Entertainment News" in which Seohyun can be seen with the other members of Taetiseo backstage. A strong wind came through, ruffling Tiffany's skirt. Seohyun can be seen quickly putting her hand on the skirt, preventing Tiffany from experiencing an embarrassing moment.
Netizens commented, "Seohyun's 'manner hands' is the best," "Seohyun is always there to protect her unnies," "She is always taking care of other people," and "Her unnies are surely reassured."

Gastroschisis repair
Gastroschisis repair is surgery to correct a birth defect that causes an opening in the skin and muscles covering the belly (abdominal wall). The opening allows intestines and sometimes other organs to bulge outside the belly. The surgeon places the organs back inside the belly and closes the belly wall.
See also:
- Gastroschisis
- Omphalocele (a similar defect)
- Omphalocele repair
Alternative Names
Abdominal wall defect repair
The goal of surgery is to place the organs back into the baby's belly and repair the defect, if possible. The surgeon will wait until your baby is stable to do surgery. This may take a week to 10 days. During this time, a plastic pouch, called a silo, will be used to return most of your baby's intestines and other organs into their belly.
When your child is ready for surgery, your baby will receive general anesthesia. This will make your baby unconscious and unable to feel pain during the operation.
- The surgeon will examine your baby's intestine (bowel) closely for signs of damage or other birth defects. Unhealthy parts will be removed, and the healthy edges will be stitched together.
- The surgeon will place any abdominal organs that are outside the belly back into the belly.
- The opening in the wall of the belly will be repaired, if possible.
- More surgery may be needed at a later time to repair the muscles in your baby's belly.
Why the Procedure Is Performed
Gastroschisis is a life-threatening birth defect. It needs to be treated right after a baby is born.
Risks for any anesthesia are:
- Allergic reactions to medicines
- Breathing problems
Risks for any surgery are:
- Bleeding
- Infection
- Blood clots
Additional risks of gastroschisis repair are:
- Inflammation of the tissue that lines the wall of the abdomen and covers the abdominal organs
- Organ injury
- Temporary paralysis (muscles stop moving) of the small bowel
- Problems with digestion and absorbing nutrients from food, if a baby has a lot of damage to the small bowel
- Breathing problems if the baby's belly area (abdominal space) is smaller than normal. The baby may need a breathing tube and breathing machine for a few days or weeks after surgery.
Before the Procedure
Gastroschisis is usually seen on ultrasound before the baby is born. After it is found, your baby will be followed very closely to make sure they are growing.
Your baby should be born at a hospital that has a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and a pediatric surgeon. A NICU is set up to handle emergencies that occur at birth. A pediatric surgeon has special training in surgery for babies and children.
Immediately after birth, any organs outside your baby's body will be covered with warm, moist, sterile bandages or a sterile plastic bag. A nasogastric (NG) tube will be inserted through your baby's nose or mouth into their stomach to drain the stomach to keep it empty. This prevents the baby from choking and breathing stomach contents into the lungs.
After the Procedure
After surgery, your baby will receive care in the hospital's neonatal intensive care unit. They will be placed in a special bed called an isolette. This bed has an incubator to keep your baby warm.
Your baby may need to be on a breathing machine until organ swelling has decreased and the size of their belly area has increased.
Other treatments your baby will probably need after surgery are:
- Antibiotics
- Fluids and nutrients given through a vein
- Oxygen
- Pain medicines
- An NG tube placed through the nose to drain the stomach and keep it empty.
Feedings are started through the NG tube as soon as your baby's bowel starts functioning after surgery. Feedings by mouth will start very slowly. Your baby may eat slowly and may need feeding therapy, lots of encouragement, and time to recover after a feeding.
The average stay in the hospital is a few weeks up to 4 months. You may be able to take your baby home once they are taking all foods by mouth and gaining weight.
Outlook (Prognosis)
After you go home, your child may develop a bowel obstruction (a block in the intestines) due to a kink or scar in the intestines.
Most of the time, gastroschisis can be corrected with 1 or 2 surgeries. How well your baby does will depend on how much damage there was to their intestine. After recovery from surgery, most children with gastroschisis do very well and live normal lives.

Permanent Wood Foundations, Images 1-8
Good drainage, reliable waterproofing, and the right structural details yield a warm and dry basement living space.
The Southern Pine Council's "PWF Design and Construction Guide" contains an abundance of prescriptive data, including span tables, fastening schedules, and detail drawings.
All framing lumber and plywood used in ground-contact areas must carry a grade stamp identifying it as suitable for foundation use.
Plans for pressure-treated basement foundations with backfill depths of up to 86 inches can be drawn up by following prescriptive design tables. Deeper fill or other site-specific conditions that fall outside the scope of the tables will require a plan stamped by an engineer.
Although wood foundations have traditionally been supported by footings of carefully compacted gravel or crushed stone, a poured concrete strip footing can also be used.
The poured footing simplifies the process of snapping layout lines and provides a convenient surface for marking plates and assembling wall framing.
The top member of the doubled top plate can be assembled from conventional untreated framing lumber, lapped at the corner as in standard framing.
Intermediate blocking provides solid nailing at panel edges, all of which are carefully sealed with approved caulk.
Pressure-treated wood foundations (also known as permanent wood foundations, or PWFs) have been around at least since the 1940s, and my own experience with them dates back 20 years or so. During my first year on my own as a framing contractor, I was framing homes for a large builder who used wood foundations on many of his projects. Although I was confident of my ability to frame the job from the foundation up, my experience with PWFs was limited. Fortunately, the builder was good enough to assign one of his own experienced carpenters to help me out on my first foundation.
That job went well, and today I still use variations of that same design. I've tweaked some elements, but the overall process has changed very little.
For me as a builder, a key benefit of the wood foundation is that it keeps my guys working in lean times. I employ carpenters, and with a crew trained in foundation installation I can keep that part of construction in-house, which helps with scheduling and quality control. It also means one less sub on the job, which saves money. The trades are ready to go as soon as the walls are built, and insulation and drywall are ready with no additional framing required.
The idea of wood foundations might initially make some builders uneasy, but I'm very comfortable with them. Like any foundation, a PWF can be done wrong, but if that happens it's probably the fault of the builder, not the foundation system. I've stayed in touch with many former customers, and I know that the wood foundations I built 15 years ago are as good as ever. For me, that's convincing evidence that the approach works. The builder I learned from years ago is still using them, too.
Choose your foundation. That said, I don't use wood foundations everywhere. I work in more than 40 Michigan counties, and I use conventional concrete foundations more often than not. Although the cost of a PWF is comparable to that of a poured foundation, it's a better value if the basement will be used as living space, thanks to the ease with which a wood foundation can be insulated and finished. PWFs are especially good on sloping lots where there's a walkout area toward the front of the structure.
You can't use just any green-tinted lumber for a PWF. Lumber and plywood meant for use in foundations are engineered specifically for that application, and each piece should be clearly marked as such. The grade stamp should also specify a preservative retention of .60, indicating that each cubic foot of material contains .60 pound of preservative. Southern yellow pine is the most commonly used species in PWFs because it accepts preservatives readily. Pressure-treated dimension lumber follows the same grading system as ordinary framing lumber. We ordinarily use a No. 2 grade for foundation framing.
Conveniently for us, wood foundations are well-known in our work area. The salespeople at the yards we deal with understand our requirements and have never failed to send us the right material.
Health and the environment. Foundation-grade PT lumber is treated with chromated copper arsenate, or CCA. Although CCA-treated lumber was widely used for decades, the EPA sharply restricted its use in 2004 after concerns were raised about its possible toxicity. (CCA is still widely and legally used in marine, agricultural, and industrial construction, however.) One of its few remaining uses in residential construction is for permanent wood foundations.
I take common-sense precautions when working with CCA-treated lumber and have never experienced any ill effects from exposure to it. Since the preservative is said to resist leaching into the soil, I don't think there's anything to worry about once the treated lumber is completely enclosed in a wall.
Most of my customers seem to agree, because I've never had anyone express any concern about this issue - including the owner of the home shown on these pages, who is an environmentally conscious organic farmer. From an environmental standpoint, in fact, a wood foundation is arguably a much "greener" choice than concrete, which takes enormous amounts of energy to manufacture.
The right fasteners. For long life, all fastenings used in a PWF must be stainless steel - hot-dipped fasteners won't cut it here. Stainless fasteners are available to fit both coil and stick nailers and cost about 50 percent to 60 percent more than conventional fasteners.
The code does permit us to use regular galvanized framing connectors, though, and we've never had any problems with them. There are probably two reasons they're allowed: First, the connectors are on the dry side of the wall, so there's no moisture present to cause rust or corrosion. Second, CCA-treated lumber seems to have a fairly low potential for corroding metal - most problems with damaged hangers and fasteners are associated with the newer lumber treatments that have come along since CCA was phased out for general use.
The bible for wood foundation design is the "PWF Design and Construction Guide," available as a free download from the Southern Pine Council (SPC) at southernpine.com. In our area, code officials stick pretty much to the guide, because the state building code doesn't cover the subject in any detail. Its tables and construction details let you choose the right fastening schedule, lumber dimensions, and stud spacing for most common situations.
Load paths. A key difference between a wood and a concrete foundation has to do with how each accepts point loads: In a concrete foundation, a point load that falls within a wall - from a structural ridge, for example - can be transmitted to the mudsill wherever the load-bearing vertical member happens to end up. But because a treated wood foundation is essentially just another studwall, the load path in a PWF has to remain continuous all the way to the footing at its base. These loads should be accounted for and called out on the plan to make sure they are properly transferred to the footing. Depending on the load, it may be necessary to beef up the section of footing beneath the point load.
Shear walls. Most buildings that have a front-to-back grade differential of more than 4 feet will need at least one internal shear wall to resist the lateral thrust from the uneven soil pressure. In structures from 24 to 48 feet wide, the shear wall must be located in the middle third of the basement. Buildings more than 48 feet wide will require two shear walls, which must be no farther than 24 feet from one another or from an end wall.
An internal shear wall can often be omitted where the grade differential occurs between the shorter sidewalls, since the long exterior walls that connect them often provide adequate shear resistance in themselves. The SPC design guide provides detailed shear-wall nailing requirements for a range of situations.
Whenever shear walls will be required, it's important to work out their locations during the design stage, because they have a big effect on the quality of the living space. The goal is to come up with a floor plan that allows the shear walls to serve as useful partitions rather than obstructions.

DILWORTH, Minn (KFGO AM) -- The Dilworth City Council discussed, but didn't decide last night, whether to continue with its police department or whether to contract those services with the sheriff's department.
City leaders say they need more information before they make a decision.
The cost of using Clay County deputies for routine patrols in Dilworth wouldn't be cheap.
Sheriff Bill Bergquist is still finalizing figures, but expects the cost to be "several hundred thousand" dollars each year.
Dilworth has six full-time police officers and three part-timers.
Chief Josh Ebert recently resigned after less than two years on the job.

Wow it's been almost a year since I have posted. I haven't been doing much photography as my button business and life in general keeps me busy! I did have the honor of taking a good friend of mine son's photos and I am so happy with them. I found a couple of new spots perfect for guy photos. I am looking forward to two more Senior guy photo shoots and that will be it for the year!
Thanks Conor and Jody for a fun evening and for your willingness to try out my new spots! :)
Here is Jordan's latest performance! I am SO proud of him.
Jordan and I took a little road trip yesterday to Southern Iowa. We stopped at the Villages of Van Buren in Keosauqua, the house in Eldon that inspired Grant Wood's "American Gothic" and then some shopping in Fairfield and Washington. I enjoyed the barn quilts! We enjoyed our day and this was something Jordan had been asking to do for awhile. Next on the list according to Jordan.....Austin, Minnesota for the Spam Museum! He has already researched it and Google mapped it so I guess it's a GO!
1 and 2: Rialto Beach Washington
3: Original Starbucks in Seattle
4: The Space Needle
5: Bainbridge Island (Mt. Rainier in background)
6: Seattle
7: Pike Place Market (a MUST see!)
8: Shipwreck Beach, Washington
9: Dungeness Spit, Washington
10: La Push-1st Beach, Washington
11: Ruby Beach, Washington
I couldn't resist making this little movie!! Enjoy!
I didn't get to stop at one of my favorite antique places today but I did talk the boys into letting me stop briefly and snap a shot of this building. I have been wanting to do that for a long time. I am a big fan of Grant Wood and "American Gothic" and this building is just so incredible!! We are not far from Stone City and the original house that was the one depicted in "American Gothic". There are so many wonderful painted buildings and barns in my area. I hope this Spring and Summer I can share more of my travels and sites like this in my little corner of Iowa!

It's a crime police say is victimizing more Midstate residents every day: money fraud. For one Spring Hill man, what started as a potential business deal turned into something much worse.
Philippe Smith snapped a passion for photography into a business a few months ago when he lost his daytime job. So, when he got an inquiry about a possible photo shoot, he responded.
"He was wanting someone to photograph a company event that he was having in Columbia, and he wanted me to get back to him with prices," Smith said.
But, the man on the other end of the phone call quickly wanted more than just prices.
"He asked me to do him a favor, because his party planner did not have any way to charge credit cards," Smith said.
Smith finally agreed to the request, and said the potential client provided the needed credit card information.
In the end, Smith received a payment for more than $1,200, which was to be sent to the so-called party planner.
"I had received probably 300 text messages and about 50 phone calls wanting me to get this money processed," Smith said.
Smith said he then walked into a store and wired nearly $1,000 through Western Union to a person in Georgia. At the request of the sender, he did that not once but twice - the second time to a different person, which police say is a huge red flag when it comes to a scam.
"Why wire fraud is so popular is because it's basically like sending cash. It's hard to stop and hard to track once it gets to its destination," said Spring Hill Police Det. Michael Foster.
Foster said this type of fraud is usually done on the internet, and the victim never meets the scam artist.
Smith said since he has been scammed, he's received similar calls from other potential scam artists.
Foster said while this is one of the hardest types of crime to prosecute, there are some simple ways to protect yourself against scams in the first place.
Most importantly, never send a money wire transfer to someone you've never met in person.
"There's always an excuse about why they want to. It's usually not reasonable if you just sit and think about it," Foster said.
Smith said he regrets sending that money, which his credit card company now wants him to pay back, but he also wants others to learn from his mistake.
"These guys that do this, they have no feelings anybody but themselves," he said.

It was a really good finish to the whole series. I thought it was a bit rushed though. Otherwise it was really interesting.It is sad that the series is now over. This was a AMAZING final book. posted Aug 13, 2012 at 11:35AM

I thought this book was pretty good. Maybe a little cheesy, but it had a good concept. I think or there may already be a next one in the series. I just kinda got a hint from the book. this book was good. posted Jul 19, 2012 at 2:37PM

This was a very good book. I liked that Georgia is a strong female character. I thought the whole blogging concept was so interesting. I NEVER would have thought of that idea! the only thing I really did not like was the ending readers may see why. Any way I thought this book was AMAZING. posted Jul 19, 2012 at 2:19PM
|Eighth grade bites
by Brewer, Heather.
I thought this was an interesting book. That is good and bad. I thought it was good because it had a good plot. And I thought it was bad because I thought Vlad was a little dorky at times. I pretty much liked the book. I thought it was unique. posted Apr 19, 2012 at 9:12PM
by Aguirre, Ann
I actually enjoyed this book. I avoided it for a long time because I thought it was going to be over the top filled with romance but it wasn't too over board. I like Deuce's way of thinking. She is strong and not overly wimpy. Fade's character is more mysterious and just different. There is another book coming out in the series called Outpost. If you look at the website you can read two chapters of Out post as well as Enclave. Overall this book was pretty good. posted Apr 15, 2012 at 5:36PM
|The giver
by Lowry, Lois.
I did not like this book. I strongly dislike how people compare it to the Hunger Games. It is not a book I would recommend. I especially did not like the ending I thought it was awkward. I also had some questions on the book. I thought maybe the author could have told the reader more on what was going on. For example, how did the Giver transmit the memories? Like what gave him the power to do that? I would also have liked to know more about who made their society the way it is. I can see why some people like this book. It is different and those books are fun to read. posted Apr 15, 2012 at 5:28PM
by Roth, Veronica
I really liked this book. It was well thought out. The next book "Insurgent" comes out in may 2012 I think. One of the only things I didn't like was that the dauntless had so many piercings. That is not brave. Over all thought book was AWESOME. posted Dec 29, 2011 at 12:06PM

This is a good book, but they do like touch and stuff. I personally think that you should read the 1st chapeter instead of reading the back. Why? because in lots of book when they write the back and inside cover it sounds cheesy. of corse that is my opinion. this book was AWESOME posted Jul 25, 2011 at 8:17AM

It was good. I dont really have a lot to say about it I think I prefere the first one. But I love the begginings of storys and stuff. I recomend this book but read the first one first. This book was GOOD. posted Jul 25, 2011 at 8:12AM
|Battle royale
by Takami, Koushun.
This book is really good. I think that it should not be adult fiction. Sure they say some bad words, but I think teen fiction is good. Seriously it is just like another version of the hunger games, but different. The plot is a lot a like, it is still not the same though. did i mention I am not an adult yes so this comes from a kid who loves to read. This book is AWESOME posted Jun 18, 2011 at 6:59PM

Music can soothe, inspire and invigorate. That's exactly what one Toledo church hopes to do.
Tuesday on Your Day, Paul Wood and Dean Thompson stopped by from the Church of St. Andrew to talk about how they use country music to inspire people.
Every first Saturday of the month, the church brings in country singers to perform, and relate the music to a biblical verse or teaching. Saturday, September 7th at 6:00 p.m. they will be bringing in George Jones.

My parents, who met on a commune in Sointula, British Columbia, were part of that generation that tried to imagine a new way of life by moving "back to the land," constructing their own homes, and expanding their consciousness. In 1976, my father checked himself into the Angus Campbell Treatment Centre in Moose Jaw, and shortly afterwards discovered the Baha'i Faith. Starting from this personal, even diarist position where the polarities of hippy culture, recovery and religion converge in my memory, this work shifts into a larger question about the "the spiritual in art." And rather than sealing off this question within the universal language of abstraction I have sought to pose it against the peculiar specificity and symbolic register of my experience.

Nicole 'Snooki' Polizzi, Miley Cyrus Share Birthday Joy On Twitter
"Jersey Shore" star Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi was celebrating her 25th birthday on Black Friday, but it wasn't the shops that provided her with her favorite present.
The reality star and new mom Tweeted that her baby boy — Lorenzo, who was born in August — was the most rewarding gift of all.
"My favorite birthday gift," she Tweeted, linking to a photo of the MTV star holding her little one. (Click HERE to see the full pic.)
But, Snooki didn't leave out her love for her fiance, Lorenzo's daddy — Jionni LaValle, thanking him for celebrating her big day with her.
"Best Birthday ever with my fiance @JLaValle and Lorenzo," she wrote.
In typical Snooki fashion, though, she wasn't the perfect birthday girl. She made sure to emphasize it was her big day.
"Lol I'm being that annoying birthday girl to @JLaValle saying 'but it's my birthday today you have to,'" she Tweeted.
Snooki wasn't the only celeb celebrating their birthday on Black Friday. Miley Cyrus turned 20, and hit Twitter to thank her fans for their well wishes.
"So much BIRFFFDAY love!" she wrote. "i wish everyday was like this."

SOSEScript: setTownGlobals failed executing with the following error: Error on line 32 position 1: Subscript out of range: '[number: 0]'
Jalon White and Sarah Pandolfi are two of the best athletes in Indians' history, having put forth numerous dominating performances on the football and soccer field, respectively. On Feb. 27, both seniors took a major step toward shining in a larger spotlight by signing their letters of intent to compete in college during a ceremony at the North Haven High School library.
White, who set a program record with 1,824 rushing yards last fall and totaled over 3,800 with 48 touchdowns for his career, will play cornerback at Assumption College, a Division II school in Worcester, Mass. He was accompanied at the signing by his mother Antoinette White and grandfather Leroy Sumner.
Pandolfi, a forward who had 18 goals with eight assists as a senior and netted 55 career scores, inked her name to compete for Division I University of Massachusetts Amherst. She was joined at the signing table by her mother Lynn Pandolfi.
Athletic Director Todd Petronio read a few kind words at the ceremony, calling White "a fierce competitor" and Pandolfi "someone who always wants the ball when it counts." He also told both athletes to always appreciate the support they've received from the relatives sitting beside them and that he hoped they would each forever have a place in their heart for the maroon and white. Petronio then presented White and Pandolfi with sweaters representing their new schools, after which they both took some time to share their thoughts about this monumental occasion.
White, a three-time All-SCC and Levi Jackson recipient who was the Indians' MVP in his senior season, will attend Assumption on a full scholarship.
"All the signs pointed to me going to Assumption. The other day I was trying to catch the bus and, when I did, it was on Assumption Street. I also had a great vibe when I visited the school and their coaching staff made me feel like they were really interested in me," White said. "I love that all these people came here to support me when they didn't have to and I'm happy knowing I made some friends along the way. I'll always remember the work ethic I learned at North Haven and that you have to keep your family close because family means a lot."
The person who presides over the Indians' football family is Head Coach Anthony Sagnella, who was filled with pride to see White put his name on the dotted line.
"I'm exited for Jalon's opportunity and I'm sure he will do fine as he adjusts," Sagnella said. "Not only is Jalon a quick and athletic kid, he's also fearless and plays with extreme toughness. Jalon is also the type of person whose personality brightens the huddle with an infectious smile."
Pandolfi was also all smiles on this day. The three-time All-Oronoque selection and two-time All-State honoree said she was excited to play Division I soccer at a school that's not too far from home.
"To come this far and get to play DI is unbelievable. I fell in love with the campus and really liked the coaching staff," Pandolfi said. "I'm thankful for the support of my family and hope that the UMass soccer family is just like the one at North Haven. Coach [Brittany] Collard brought our team together and this school is the closest-knit one I've ever seen in my life."
Coach Collard attended the ceremony and extended nothing but praise to Pandolfi for the impact she had on her program the past four seasons.
"I am obviously so proud of Sarah. She has a love for soccer that shows up every day and, when you need a goal, she's the player you look to," said Collard. "Sarah will fit in just fine at UMass due to her competitive nature, grit, and determination. She will show that she belongs."

By Christiaan Hetzner
STUTTGART, Germany (Reuters) - German automaker Daimler
Premium brands like Daimler's Mercedes or Volkswagen's
But some investors have begun to lose patience with a Daimler management team that has failed repeatedly to deliver the same profitability as peers BMW
Daimler executives admit profits would have been better were it not for the underperformance of Mercedes in China, a vital growth market where its two local rivals have been running circles around it.
Daimler forecast 2013 earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) from its ongoing business at around last year's 8.1 billion euros, down 10 percent from 2011 and in line with a consensus estimate from analysts.
"For market and model-cycle reasons, the first quarter is likely to be the weakest of the year," said its finance chief Bodo Uebber.
Uebber said Daimler based the forecast in part on expectations that the euro will trade between $1.30-$1.35. The European currency was bid at $1.357 on Thursday.
An upcoming revamp of its flagship Mercedes S-Class saloon, due mid-year, and roughly 600 million euros in Mercedes cost savings would boost second-half profit, the company said.
Shares in Daimler rose 2.3 percent by 0948 GMT to 43.99 euros, outperforming both its peers in the European auto sector <.SXAP> and other German blue-chip shares <.GDAXI>.
"The forecast is not bad given expectations and at least there was no disappointment like so often in the past," said Metzler Bank analyst Juergen Pieper.
He said a planned dividend payment of 2.20 euros per share was "a bit of a positive surprise, since it looked as if it may be lowered to around 2 euros".
The earnings were also slightly better than expected, said Pieper, although that was more to do with Daimler businesses outside the core Mercedes and Trucks divisions.
The group had also forecast stable earnings this time last year, but ended up warning in October that it would miss its profit target of 9 billion euros by about 1 billion.
It was also forced to postpone 2013 EBIT profit margin targets of 8 percent at Daimler Trucks and 10 percent at Mercedes. That second goal had been set back in 2010.
Analysts have repeatedly questioned whether Mercedes can achieve its goal of overtaking its two German rivals to become the world's largest luxury carmaker by 2020 so long as its sales growth in China continues to lag theirs.
Chief Executive Dieter Zetsche said on Thursday that shareholders would see next year the target was realistic.
After conceding in July that poor growth in China was more than just a temporary blip, Daimler has moved aggressively to improve its fortunes there and aims to increase annual sales by half to 300,000 vehicles in 2015.
In December, it brought in a new China sales chief, appointed a new management board member responsible for its Chinese operations and combined two competing sales channels for locally built and imported cars.
On Friday, Daimler went a step further and bought 12 percent of its Chinese joint venture partner BAIC Motor in a deal that values the Beijing-based company at around 5.3 billion euros ahead of its planned stock offering.
Sales in China rebounded last month, growing over 15 percent following a steep drop in December. But Mercedes is outsold there two to one by Audi, while the BMW brand's sales volumes in the country were 50 percent higher last year.

If you're looking for a taste of provincial Sweden before pushing on further south or, alternatively, to Stockholm Skavsta airport, historic NYKÖPING, 100km southwest of Stockholm, is perfect. Indeed, since Ryanair established a base in 2003 at Skavsta (7km northwest of the town), the airport has effectively become Nyköping's lifeblood, supplying a steady flow of arriving and departing Ryanair passengers. Capital of the surrounding pastoral province of Södermanland, Nyköping's underrated charms include an excellent museum in and around the ruins of its thirteenth-century castle, and a thriving harbour – a regular target for the Stockholm yachting set – that bustles with life in summer.
St Nicolai kyrka
On the main square, Storatorget, opposite the tourist office, stands the vast St Nicolai kyrka with its white, vaulted ceiling. The building dates from around 1260, although most of what you see is the result of sixteenth-century refurbishment. The pillars here are adorned with dozens of beautiful, heavily moulded silver candle sconces. It's the Baroque pulpit, though, that's the highlight; crafted in Norrköping in 1748, it was modelled on the one in the Storkyrkan in Stockholm. Outside, standing proudly on a nearby rocky outcrop, is the red 1692 bell tower, the only wooden building not destroyed in 1719 when the town was attacked from the sea by invading Russian troops who burnt virtually the entire place to the ground.
From Storatorget, it's just a couple of minutes' wander south, down Slottsgatan with the river to your left, to Kungsgatan. Here you'll see the King's Tower, the main part of Nyköpingshus castle. A late twelfth-century defensive tower, built to protect the trading port at the estuary of the Nyköping river, it was subsequently converted into a fortress by King Magnus Ladulås.
In the sixteenth century, Gustav Vasa fortified the castle with gun towers; his son Karl, who became duke of Södermanland, converted the place into one of Sweden's grandest Renaissance palaces. Devastating fires here in 1665 and 1719 reduced all lesser buildings to ash and gutted the castle. With no money forthcoming from the national coffers, it was never rebuilt; only the King's Tower was saved from demolition and became used as a granary. Today, the riverside tower and the adjoining early eighteenth-century house built for the county governor form a museum complex. Wandering through the original gatehouse (porthuset) beneath Karl's heraldic shield, you reach the extensively restored King's Tower. On the first floor, a stylish job has been done of rebuilding the graceful archways that lead into the Guard Room. The rest of the museum is fairly uninspiring, the best exhibition being a display of medieval shoes and boots.
The last supper
The last supper
It was in the King's Tower in 1317 that the infamous Nyköping Banquet took place: one of King Magnus's three sons, Birger, invited his brothers Erik and Valdemar to celebrate Christmas at Nyköping and provided a grand banquet. Once the meal was complete, and the visiting brothers had retired to bed, Birger had them thrown in the castle's dungeon, threw the key into the river and left them to starve to death. In the nineteenth century, a key was caught by a boy fishing in the river; whether the rusting item he found, now on display in the museum, really is the one last touched by Birger, no one knows.

Marconi Foundation for Kids
The Marconi Automotive Museum and Foundation for Kids strives to reach its goal of helping to raise a million dollars a year for at risk youth in Orange County. A large percentage of net proceeds generated from special events and tours are donated to local children's charities. Founder Dick Marconi has a mantra that he gives to all groups he addresses. That mantra is "learn, earn and return." As his father before him said, first you learn by getting a good education, then you go out into the community and earn, and then you start to give back, perhaps in small ways to begin with, and as you reach retirement years, start giving in more significant ways. And that's exactly what he's done. Dick is known as one of the great philanthropists in Orange County, California.
Our Charity Partner: Infinite Hero Foundation
Infinite Hero's pledge to those who have risked their lives is to reward their sacrifice and bravery with support that articulates our gratitude. We partner with like-minded organizations to provide access to innovative rehabilitation programs that address the unique needs of veterans and their families.
The measure of our impact is positive outcomes, not merely gestures. Like the heroes we serve, we refuse to shy away from a challenge. Where boundaries exist, we will plow through them. Where strategies and solutions have not yet been found, we will create them.
We will marshal the resources of technology, community, medical research and mental health care to foster collaborative innovation and affect positive change for our heroes in need.
