Love Brady ad fyi
When we talked all off season about a aggressive front 7. Was I wrong to imagine what the bronco front 7 did in the game .
I miss browner.for a few million we could had a TE matchup and bigger WR guy. Now Devin has to be that guy .
This thread is so misleading.

that is all we go back to zone.
zone defense. People we did play zone till week 5 of last year till it became clear that revis and browner sucked at it.

worst case we will play dennard,butler and Arrington in zone as we did before. This is the pats way for so Long. Its not bad.
sanders getting hot....who is our 3rd receiver .oh we cut that guy.
Wes does not hit the defender .lafell will hit the defender and act like he got shot.
If sanders is doing this can you imagine lafell in that offense.he would be Randi like...good we got him
I have calmed down . I have not been here in a while but i am back.

Hi Arjen: As in all debugging the essential is to simplify as much as possible while still demonstrating the bug. Here are some steps of that simplification process that I have been able to do so far. It leads to a rather improbable hypothesis.... First run comprehensive_test.sh so that "can't open" error shows up in the comprehensive_test.sh build tree, /z/home/wine/newstart/plplot_comprehensive_test_disposable1/shared/build_tree. If after that bad wine result, I set all appropriate environment variables, cd to examples/tcl in the above tree then run echo $(pwd)/test1.ps |pltcl x14 -dev psc -o test.ps Demo of multiple output streams via the psc driver. Running with the second stream as slave to the first. Enter graphics output file name: Can't open /z/home/wine/newstart/plplot_comprehensive_test_disposable1/shared/build_tree/examples/tcl/test1.ps. .... I then tried the same thing in the corresponding c example, and got the same (bad) result. I then tried ./x10c -dev psc -o $(pwd)/test.ps and echo test1.ps| ./x14c -dev psc -o $(pwd)/test.ps and the long filename specified with -o worked fine! I then tried interactive input of the long file name, and that generated the error. ./x10c -dev psc Enter graphics output file name: /z/home/wine/newstart/plplot_comprehensive_test_disposable1/shared/build_tree/examples/c/test.ps Can't open /z/home/wine/newstart/plplot_comprehensive_test_disposable1/shared/build_tree/examples/c/test.ps. ... This is the simplest instance of the error I have been able to generate so far. I then tried many of the same examples under Linux and could not reproduce the error at all no matter how long I made the full path to the file, e.g., echo $(pwd)/../../../../shared/build_tree/examples/c/test1.ps /home/software/plplot_svn/HEAD/plplot_cmake_qt/comprehensive_test_disposeable/shared/build_tree/examples/c/../../../../shared/build_tree/examples/c/test1.ps The bad C results on wine show the error has nothing to do with Tcl which is a nice simplification, but the corresponding good results on Linux show it must be some Windows-specific issue. On the other hand, the good C results using the -o option on wine prove bash and C and PLplot can handle long filenames on wine with no issues. Thus, all the symptoms are consistent with the hypothesis that for the special case where the user must be prompted for a filename, the C (and Tcl) examples call a PLplot function to open the file in a peculiar way which has a Windows-specific filename length limitation. That hypothesis does seem pretty improbable if you think about it, but as Sherlock Holmes said: "Eliminate all other factors, and the one which remains must be the truth." That should be enough experimentation, and it is now time to start debugging the code to see whether the above hypothesis is true. Fortunately, MSYS gives you access to the gcc debugger, gdb, which is an excellent tool for debugging. More later as this detective story unfolds. Alan __________________________ Alan W.

Data on doping among young non-professional athletes are scarce. In order to estimate the prevalence and predictors of doping use, a standardized, anonymous questionnaire was self-administered by 2650 tertiary education students from five European Union countries (Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Italy) and Israel. The reported usage rate of a doping agent (at least once) was 2.6%, with no significant variation in the frequency of doping reporting among the participating countries. Doping was, however, less common among students of biomedical schools (OR: 0.49, 95% CI: 0.27–0.89) and was higher among males (OR: 2.16, 95% CI: 1.25–3.74). Students, who use to drink coffee or recall frequent occasions of involvement in drunkenness episodes, were more likely (twice and three times, respectively) to report doping, and students using nutritional supplements or having participated in a major athletic event were more likely (four times and twice, respectively) to report doping in comparison with students who do not. Of note is the high odds ratio for reporting individual doping when having a friend who uses doping (OR: 8.61, 95% CI: 4.49–16.53). Given the large size of the physically active young individuals in the population and the small number of professional athletes, doping in the general population may be, in absolute terms, as sizeable problem as it is among the professional athletes. There was evidence that high-risk behaviour and supplement use increased the risk of doping.

Boy on a Bike: How a Rwandan Teen Overcame a Legacy of Genocide
Far from home, in a war-torn land, a charity worker met a child who had every reason to hate—and yet taught volumes about love.
He works with the energy and intensity, if not the skill, of a mechanic twice his age. He keeps his head down, focusing on his task, talking to himself—threading greased pedals onto one of 120 sturdy black bikes we're here to build and donate to a Rwandan charity so people can ride to work, to school, to a well with clean water. He looks to be the same age as my third-grade twins. We've been working together for an hour in a small auditorium in a walled compound outside Kigali. A choir practices somewhere outside, the ethereal music blending with the clouds that descend down the green ravines of the hills that define Rwanda. Although he speaks no English and I no Kinyarwanda, we use the universal signs of thumbs-ups, head nods, and "no problem." We work as a team.
And we smile. A lot. The kid has a smile like no other I've seen in more than six years of working with African relief agencies to build and donate bikes to charitable groups. I've seen lots of hard workers. Lots of incredible people. But there's something about this one that has a hold, quite unexpectedly, of my heart, more so than the other kids working with volunteers around the compound.
Maybe because he's about the same age as my own three children, a world away in an American suburb. Maybe it's his warmth, laid bare by a complete absence of any artifice. His eyes glow and his teeth sparkle, and my jet lag melts away as this kid, whose name I don't know and can't seem to find out, beams with pride and happiness at finally getting the pedals onto the bike. I give him a thumbs-up, and he beams anew. Over the course of this humid morning, we'll assemble 15 or so bikes, half of what I could do working alone. But I have a new friend.
And he likes me. Anytime we stop work so I can explain something to him, he holds my hand. When we stop for tea, he holds my hand again, and I slip him some Skittles. A woman in traditional dress comes over, ignoring me, and speaks to him sharply, then raps his hand. I'm shocked, but parenting methods are different in central Africa than in New Jersey, so I say nothing as he struggles to hold back tears. Then he takes my hand and pulls me back to the bikes. Within two minutes, he's beaming, and this time, I'm the one trying to hold back tears.
At lunch, I tell Jules Shell, the director of Foundation Rwanda, the charity group we're working with, what a great hustler we have on our hands. I ask again what his name is. She says, "Well, we call him Jean-Paul. But he doesn't have a real name."
I must look confused. She smiles a little. "I don't think his mom could bring herself to call him anything at the time."
I don't get it, but she continues. "How old do you think he is?" she asks.
"Nine, maybe ten," I say.
She looks at me with the tired eyes of a relief worker exhausted by explaining the unexplainable. "He's 16," she says. I say it can't be; he's tiny. "Sixteen. All these kids are. The genocide was in 1994. Do the math."
Thanks! You're on our list.
And your life's about to get more interesting.

This story touched a cord. I was moved by the story, by the mother and the boy, to be alive after so much pain, decide to give birth, and then to care for the boy but cannot love him. Talk about a paradox! I wept while reading the story. The soul of the boy and his life can teach the human spirit the need to excite in spite of the conditions. I am in awe.
I am so touched by Jean-Paul's story. I wish I could send him a Christmas gift. How can I do that?
We really have no idea how life is for others outside of of safe borders; I treasure any time I can travel outside of the US, it has taught me that triumph over adversity is the NORM for most and the human spirit is a truly amazing phenomenon. Very touching…
"Boy on a Bike" was enlightening. I had no concept of the genocide/rape that conceived children. or that abortion was an option. 'Jean-Paul' has become a gift to his mother. God has a unique talent for making lemonade!
I'm intrigued about the bikes. Are the donations from individuals? groups? Are they new or used? How can I learn more about this?
Carol in Iowa
Does the boy still live with his mother now?
Amazing… absolutely so.
Please do not let that love stop there! Do more than admire the boy. Thanks though for your touching story. Andrew Ndahiro
tears welled as i read this inspiring narrative. may God protect and bless his happy soul…
really inspiring!! wondering how Jean Paul smiles like that, after knowing his story.. there's just so much love in his heart!
warming,,,for a boy like that all he deserves is a care and love
Thanks for sharing the story.
very touching and inspiring…

David Weems wants respect

You have to earn respect and give respect as well. How do you think you can be respected the way you allow a Foreman by the name of Carter curse the employees. He apparently picks on the ones he can bully by calling them [ a stupid S.O.B ]. I have also heard you do the same thing. Is this the way you think you can earn respect by embarrassing the employee. You have a problem of your own.
#2 Apr 12, 2014
carter must be trying to act like a JC jones wannabe.
#3 Apr 17, 2014
David is disrespectful to all employees and people of Greene county! The people need a change!......... Don't vote for David if everyone knew the real David you all would be disgusted!

#5 Apr 17, 2014
The hand guns on their hips ( yes in open carry ) tell me there is a problem of some nature. Is the road dept a part of law enforcement ???
#6 Apr 17, 2014
no they are just want-to-be's
#7 Apr 17, 2014
David Weems is a very respectable man.He doesn't curse nor does he carry a gun on his hip. Ridiculous. You people need to get a life!
#8 Apr 17, 2014
I happen to know David Weems personally and I also know that he is a very good family man. He does not curse nor does he carry a weapon on his hip. That is the most ridiculous thing that I have ever heard. Why don't you people do something constructive for a change!
United States
#9 Apr 18, 2014
HE and Carter BOTH have been seen in public many times with weapons on their hip during work hours. I have personally observed Weems with a Glock and Carter with a Ruger. I am a member of the NRA - BUT those guys flashing the handguns are a little much for me. What use is a handgun in road construction ???? My opinion - open carry is a form of intimidation and has no other purpose. Period.
#10 Apr 19, 2014
There is nothing wrong with open carry, so who cares if they wear guns?
What we should care about is the state of our roads!
#11 Apr 19, 2014
Maybe this is a dumb question but could they work in dangerous or remote parts of the county that carrying might be a good idea? Snakes, rabid animals, bears etc could be an issue for people working outside in certain areas not to mention meth labs and pot growers located near a job site. I'm just giving him the benefit of the doubt by asking. My ex bf used to work outside in a similar field and had these job hazards so I wonder.
#12 Apr 19, 2014
David Weems is not honest in his personal life.... I know for a fact...so why would he be honest anywhere else.
#13 Apr 23, 2014
May be honest but I wish some girl on my road was doing him so it would get paved like some other dead end lanes
#14 Apr 23, 2014
Well may you need to see if the new equipment operator at highway department will move to your neighborhood. By the way she is a female
#15 Apr 23, 2014
I know one thing if I was him and he got re-elected their would be a few employees who would be gone. I know of one former employee who failed a drug test for his DOT. He said it was prescription so David asked for the paperwork from his doctor. He could not produce it so he was terminated and now all his family are just up in arms. I personally like Kevin Swatzell and think he is a very good person. I know the Summers-Taylor group is backing him and I don't understand that at all.

Mr Weems & Mr Carter, what happened to the ten garage old garage doors that were replaced .The doors probably weighed 800 to 1000 pounds each. That should have been a lot of money put back into the budget if they were taken to the foundry. Does any body know where they went and who hauled them off ?

So far everything has been great and teachers really work with you b
The academics at NDSU are great. Most of the professors are great at making their lessons fun, and their grading is fair and reasonable. The registration process is easy and effective. The only thing I would change is to add more study spots throughout campus.
NDSU had a great agricultural and animal sciences department. I feel like I am learning a lot, and they have a lot of classes to pick from that interest me.
proffesors are ok. everything else is good
I'm just a freshman so I'm not into the super hardcore stuff yet so it's not that intense.

Product Description
From Amazon
No matter what the actual temperature may be, several pages into Eiger Dreams you will begin to shiver. Halfway through you will acquire a new appreciation for your fingers, toes, and the fact that you still have a nose. And by the end of this collection, you'll define some commonly used phrases in an entirely different way. The understated "catch some air" and the whimsical "log some flight time" are climbers' euphemisms for falling, while "crater" refers to what happens when you log some flight time all the way to the ground. "Summiting," the term for reaching the top of a mountain, seems almost colorless in comparison. The various heroes, risk-takers, incompetents, and individualists Krakauer captures are more than colorful, whether they summit or not. The author is more interested in exploring the addiction of risk--the intensity of effort--than mere triumph. There's the mythical minimalist climber, John Gill, whose fame "rests entirely on assents less than thirty feet high," and the Burgess brothers--freewheeling, free-floating English twins who seem to make all the right decisions when it counts, and hence most often fail to reach the top. Of course, they are alive. Over these and other talented climbers hangs a malignant, endlessly creative nature--its foehn winds can make people crazy and its avalanches do far worse. Eiger Dreams is an adrenaline fest for the weary, an overdue examination of a stylish, brave subculture. As one of the heroes Krakauer outlines says of his occupation, "It's sort of like having fun, only different." --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Knowing that adventures are better heard as a story rather than read, I also opted for Philip Franklin's reading for Books on Tape. This was a stunningly good choice. Mr. Franklin makes you feel like you are right there as you look down from dizzying heights of thousands of feet while being held up by a small patch of crumbling ice.
The diversity of the stories is remarkable, from those who want to set records for getting up dangerous new routes to those who want to set records for speed in sport climbing (lots of strength and technique but not much risk). I was very surprised by some of the stories, including the ones about climbing "impossible" boulders that might be only 30 feet high and tall columns of crumbling frozen water . . . unattached to any nearby rock.
Mr. Krakauer has a wonderful ability to bring you into the stories by recounting his own fearful beginnings as a climber and the ways that he has sought release from humdrum cares by climbing. You'll find yourself chilled to the bone in places, even though you may be sitting in front of a roaring fire. It's a great trip!
I don't think I'll take up climbing, but I am indebted to this brilliant exposition of climbing's appeal.
Eiger Dreams is a collection of stories about mountaineering and mountaineering culture. This collection of a dozen or so chapters (I suspect all were magazine articles first) regales the reader with the danger of high-altitude climbing, the uniqueness of attitude among many of the climbers and a slice of the culture that surrounds the climbing world.
On the whole the stories are gripping and interesting. It falls short only in one or two instances when the author delves into set place stories like describing the town near Mt. Blanc that seems to derive it's personality from the towering rock and those who are drawn to it in great multitudes each year.
The chapters on individual climbs introduce the reader to the thrills and dangers of high-risk climbing, without the chance that one will tumble out of an armchair 10,000 feet to become part of a mountain. Particularly enjoyable are the articles on the North face of the Eiger, the author's own journey to solo climb Alaska's Devil's Thumb at age 23 and a chapter on the Burgesses -- two mountaineering hobos who combine moxie with single mindedness as they climb the world's tallest peaks. I also enjoyed the chapter detailing early attempts to divine whether or not Everest was really the tallest mountain -- some of the journeys associated with ascertaining the claims of competing peaks remind one of Scott's Polar expeditions -- fueled more by British resolve than planning and logistics.
One wonders at the bent of mind that draws climbers to the highest climbs.Read more ›
He also touches on many different aspects of the sport, including what it's like to be stuck in your tent for days on end; the rewards and repercussions of solo climbing; the challenge laid down by legendary climber Reinhold Messner, who eschewed pre-prepared routes and bottled oxygen; and the culture of climbing towns which are packed to the gills with climbers of varying degrees of skill and equipment.
My favorite essay is the last one, probably because it's the most personal to the author. In it he tells the story of how he quit his dead-end job and spent his last dollar on an ambitious attempt to become the first climber to scale the north face of the Devil's Thumb, an imposing Alaskan peak. This piece is repeated in Krakauer's later book "Into the Wild", but it is definitely worth reading twice if you have both books.
My only complaint is that I got more out of Krakauer's later books "Into the Wild" and "Into Thin Air", if only because they deal with a single narrative and draw the reader that much deeper into the lives of their obsessed protagonists. The essays in "Eiger Dreams" do not explore as deeply as those later books, but they still do a good job of reflecting the excitement and danger inherent in the sport.

Researchers Now Have a Myriad of...

Damage to extremely long-lived proteins (ELLPs) that form transport channels into the nuclei of neurons could represent a key factor in the progression of aging and potentially age-related neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer disease and Parkinson disease, researchers claim. A team at the Salk Institute has found that while nearly all proteins in the human proteome are recycled every few days to prevent functional deterioration and the accumulation of damage, ELLPs are not regularly turned over, and the nuclear pore complex ELLPs identified by the Salk researchers actually appear to last an entire lifetime.
The phenomenon means that as these ELLPs become damaged or deteriorate over time, the channels they form may become compromised, and start letting in DNA-damaging toxins that effect changes in DNA expression associated with age-related disorders.
"The fundamental defining feature of aging is an overall decline in the functional capacity of various organs such as the heart and the brain," comments Martin Hetzer, Ph.D., lead investigator at the Salk's molecular and cell biology laboratory. "Our results suggest that nuclear pore deterioration might be a general aging mechanism leading to age-related defects in nuclear function, such as the loss of youthful gene expression programs."
Dr. Hetzer's team says it is the only research group in the world looking specifically at the role of nuclear pore complex proteins in the aging process. The latest work is published in Science, in a paper titled "Extremely Long-Lived Nuclear Pore Proteins in the Rat Brain."

For a growing number of countries in Africa the current commodity boom is a huge opportunity. But if the economic history of resource-rich, poor countries—especially in Africa—is any guide, rather than bringing prosperity, the resource boom may drive them into what Paul Collier (2007) in his influential book The Bottom Billion terms the "Natural Resources Trap." In Africa, countries dependent on oil, gas, and mining have tended to have weaker long-run growth, higher rates of poverty, and higher inequality than non mineral-dependent economies at similar levels of income.
Two recent studies suggest both the potential and the risks of resource extraction. Alekseev and Conrad (2008) show the potential—resource wealth has tended to make countries better off. They find that in the long run resource-rich countries have significantly higher levels of income than other countries. However, Collier and Goderis (2007, 2008) suggest that this may be due only to the income generated by resource rents rather than to the growth of output. In resourcerich economies—unlike those with more diversified economic structures—production and income may diverge substantially. Collier and Goderis ask whether a commodity boom helps an economy to produce more output. They find that for the first few years following an increase in the price of commodity exports output increases relative to what it would otherwise have been, but usually the growth of output is not sustained. After two decades the typical resource extracting economy is producing less than it would have done in the absence of the boom. Collier and Goderis simulate the outcome of the current commodity boom and find that, if history repeats itself, after two decades output for the typical African commodity exporter will be around 25 percent lower than it would have been without the boom. This is the resource curse.
But geology is not destiny. Natural resource wealth can be an effective driver of growth. Chile, which has been the fastest growing Latin American country for the past 15 years, has relied almost entirely on exports of natural resource products. Botswana has been among the world's fastest growing economies for the last 30 years, and Indonesia and Malaysia have used their natural resource wealth to diversify and grow their economies. From the global evidence Collier and Goderis find that although a decline in production is the norm, it is by no means inevitable. Some societies have succeeded in harnessing commodity booms for sustained increases in production, while others have not. The consequences of resource-riches, they argue, depend upon choices.
This paper is about one important set of choices faced by Africa's resource-rich economies, whether and how to diversify production beyond the natural resource sector. Following this introduction, Section 2 examines the role of natural resource exports in Africa's recent growth recovery. Using a new methodology developed by Arbache and Page (2007) it finds that Africa's growth acceleration after 1995 has been driven mainly by avoiding the policy mistakes that led to sharp economic contractions in the past and by a strong surge in growth in the resource-rich economies. This makes Africa's long-run growth prospects vulnerable to the natural resource curse.
Section 3 introduces the main theme of the paper: Africa's resource exporters are rowing against the current as they attempt to diversify their economies. The relative price changes that occur in a resource exporting economy—symptoms of the "Dutch disease"— place Africa's natural resource-rich countries at a disadvantage with respect to two drivers of industrial change and economic growth. Because Dutch disease discourages the development of new tradable goods producing activities, it inhibits the diversification of the manufacturing sector and limits the potential for increases in the sophistication of manufacturing production and exports. Both diversity and sophistication have been linked in recent literature to higher incomes and faster growth. In addition, research on the impact of agglomeration economies on production costs and international competitiveness strongly suggests that late-comers to industrialization, such as Africa's natural resource exporters, suffer from a competitive disadvantage linked to the spatial distribution of global industry. It is far easier to expand an existing industrial agglomeration than to start a new one. Not surprisingly, then, the data show that Africa's mineral rich economies trail both the Africa regional average and the least developed countries in general in key indicators of industrial dynamism.
Section 4 draws on the experience of three successful natural resource exporters—Chile, Indonesia and Malaysia—to make the point that geology is not destiny. Each of these economies had rising income growth accompanied by increasing diversity of their manufacturing and export structure between 1980 and 2000. Successful diversification away from dependence on natural resources was the consequence of different public policies to mitigate the impact of the Dutch disease. In the cases of Indonesia and
Malaysia, government policies successfully targeted moving into new more sophisticated manufacturing sectors. In Chile public policy favored the expansion into new, knowledge-intensive natural resource based exports.
Some options for policy choices are set out in section 5. The basic theme of the section is that governments—through improvements in the investment climate and public expenditures—can mitigate the worst consequences of the Dutch disease. Section 6 concludes and offers some ideas for further research.

Daniel Oren Returns to Conduct Norma
At the Israeli Opera
Following the immense success of La Juive and Nabucco in Masada last season, Israeli conductor Daniel Oren, one of the most sought after opera conductors in the world, returns in April to the Israeli Opera to lead a new production of Bellini's bel canto masterpiece – Norma.
Oren conducts regularly at the leading opera houses around the world including the Bastille in Paris and Covent Garden in London. But he always emphasizes that his real home is Israel.
Norma – Bellini's powerful drama set in the first century BC in Gaul, follows the dilemma of a Druid priestess who betrayed her people by having an affair with a conquering Roman officer and giving birth to two children.
As the Druids call to war against the Druids, Norma represents, for her own selfish reason, the voice of temperance before she publicly admits her crime and willingly accepts the punishment – death at the scaffold.

One thing to keep in mind is you might want to dodge enemies at the last possible second. Doing so triggers Mystical Dodge, which then slows down time and makes you invincible for a short period. You can also set it to trigger Onimusha instead which allows you to perform a one-hit kill, or Extra Chain, which as you might have guessed lets you chain together attacks more easily. Enemies will come in handy in other ways too: the witch can enslave them (for what purpose, is not clear) or your soldiers can consume them alive to regain stamina. (Is anyone else getting Digital Devil Saga flashbacks? Anyone?)
You can also choose what town in the game will host your home. And if battling ever gets boring, in town you can partake in some minigames, such as gambling, fishing, or a Japanese board game called sugoroku (not to be confused with sudoku).
The Witch and the Hundred Soldiers is slated for a June 28th release in Japan.

Upstate geared up for emergencies
Federal dollars help Spartanburg get tools, training
Published: Sunday, September 11, 2011 at 3:15 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, September 10, 2011 at 11:24 p.m.
Federal funds that flowed after the terrorists attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, have equipped local first response, fire and police departments with modern equipment and software and better trained personnel.
The county's $450,000 mobile command center is one of the most valuable pieces of equipment purchased with Homeland Security grant funds doled out to Spartanburg County through the State Law Enforcement Division.
Since Sept. 11, 2001, Spartanburg County has received $3.7 million in Homeland Security grant funds. Cherokee County has received $467,398 and Union County was allocated $365,170, according to SLED.
County Fire Marshal Bill Hall was on the committee that designed the 40-foot vehicle equipped with a mobile office, radio with various frequencies, an intercom system, wireless Internet, satellite televisions and dispatch stations and a camera with capabilities of surveying an area up to a half-mile.
The committee decided to paint the trailer gray so all emergency personnel, police officers and firefighters would take ownership.
Since receiving the vehicle in 2007, Hall said it has gone out several times a year to major fires, large-scale searches and serves as the mobile command center at Spring Fling, where large crowds congregate.
"Anything you can do in an office, you can do here," Hall said. "It's been incredibly valuable, and if we were to ever have any sort of terrorist attack — foreign or domestic — this would be the place that would serve as our command post."
Since Sept. 11, 2001, the Department of Homeland Security has poured about $216 million into South Carolina to upgrade is emergency communication systems, establish county disaster response centers and outfit police, fire and emergency responders with anti-terrorism plans and protective gear, according to the Associated Press.
County Emergency Management Director Doug Bryson said officials used the funds for training and equipment based on what is most likely to occur in the Upstate: natural disasters, weather-related emergencies or manmade/chemical attacks at plants or other facilities.
"We certainly have plans in place to cover those possible scenarios and how they are likely to play out in the county," he said. "Certainly, what we plan for is different than the emergency plans the coastal counties have in place, and we do a yearly assessment to understand hazards and update our preparation plans."
Bryson said most of the federal resources that have come into the county since 9/11 have been used to prepare for weather-related emergencies such as tornadoes and winter storms.
There are a large number of chemical industries in the county, so emergency responders train based on several scenarios, including chemical spills and accidents.
Emergency responders also train for possible interstate emergencies and consider the county's close proximity to the Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport in the event of an attack there, Bryson said.
"Homeland Security funds have allowed us to outfit the (Spartanburg County) sheriff's office with state-of-the-art bomb squad equipment and to update our communications system so in the event of an emergency, our responders and police officers can communicate with other agencies that would come in," he said.
Sheriff's Office Lt. Tony Ivey said every patrol officer is equipped with laptops that allow them to expeditiously complete reports and provides quick assess to various information during a traffic stop.
"Without those, our deputies would be on the radio tying up vocal traffic," Ivey said.
Ivey said the enhanced communication between agencies is important.
"Since 9/11, I think everybody understands that there's no insignificant player in the war on terror," he said. "Local folks are just as important as state and national officials during an attack."
Ivey said county 911 communications systems have been upgraded so anyone calling dispatchers from a cellphone can be tracked within 50 meters of their location.
"That can be extremely valuable if we lose a signal to locate the individual who is calling for help," he said.
All officers now have gas masks and protective clothing.
"I don't think we're on any terrorist group's Top 10 list, but you never know, and these are things we never thought about before 9/11," Ivey said. "Officers are prepared and know how to respond to a hazardous materials emergency as well, and those are the incidents that we are more likely to be called to."
Spartanburg Public Safety Col. Jennifer Kindall said federal funds allow for annual emergency response and that public safety continually reviews procedures on how officers respond to emergencies and make necessary changes.
"All in all, this county is prepared for any plausible scenario, and federal funding has made that possible," Bryson said. "We're as prepared as we can be, and we work hard to make sure that we have equipment and training to ensure that our citizens are safe."
Cherokee County Emergency Preparedness Director Rick Peterson said the county has purchased a hazardous material identification system that allows emergency personnel to determine whether a powder substance is, indeed, hazardous.
"Instead of waiting four to six hours to have it tested in Columbia, we have the ability to know up-front so we can take action," Peterson said. Emergency response teams were called to a school following 9/11 after a mysterious, powdery substance was found. The substance wasn't harmful and the identification allowed classes to resume fairly quickly.
Cherokee County also purchased a mobile command post that is dispatched throughout the year and, for example, was useful during the serial killer incidents in 2009.
County firefighters have breathing apparatuses that provide air from refill tanks in the case of serious fires, and the county has been able to upgrade its communication system.
"The funds have really been useful by our fire departments that had outdated equipment. They were able to get replacement vehicles and equipment that they otherwise wouldn't have gotten," he said.

He was ordained in Sydney on May 7, 1848 and in September was assigned a position which no one else would accept, that of solitary Catholic chaplain on Norfolk Island. In writing to a friend he said, inter alia, "I feel it passing sweet beyond expression to sit with the prisoners in their dark solitary cells, to hear their sad and bitter tales, the circumstances of their youth, the sources of their misfortune, and the terrible heart-rending misery and degradation, both moral and physical, to which they had been made subject, and then in return to offer them whatever consolation I can".

Church in this city, is about to leave New castle, will be received with sincere regret by the whole of his co-religionists, as well as by many of other denominations, to whom he has endeared himself by his many excel- lent qualities and well remembered deeds of kindness and charity. The rev. gentleman was appointed to this dis- trict by the Archbishop of Sydney; but Newcastle having passed into the Maitland diocese about six years back, F'ather Ryan was called upon by the Bishop of Maitland to act as his administrator here. In carrying ou tthe duties of this important office, Father Ryan displayed business qualifications which have been recognised as able by all with whom he has had to do ; and his efforts on behalf of education have been such as to entitle him to be held in special regard by all. Father Ryan has been recalled to Sydney, to an important office in connection with St. Mary's Cathedral, owing to the ill health of Dean Forde; and having to under- take the duties without delay, he leaves for Sydney on Tuesday night.

The official list of the Big 12's top 25 players is locked away in a vault in an undisclosed location, but we're revealing the list day by day here on the blog. Here's a refresher on my exact criteria.
We're inside the top 10 now, so things should heat up a little bit. Have a gripe with the list? Let me know in the mailbag.
No. 2: Von Miller, LB, Texas A&M
2010 numbers: Miller made 68 tackles, including 10.5 sacks and 17.5 tackles for loss. He also broke up six passes, forced three fumbles, recovered two fumbles and his only interception of the season sealed a win over rival Texas.
Most recent ranking: Miller was ranked No. 4 in our preseason list of the Big 12's top 25 players.
Making the case for Miller: As impressive as Miller's numbers are, they still don't accurately portray how disruptive he was to opposing offenses, especially during conference play. He led the league in sacks for a second consecutive season and was second in tackles for loss, but I'd venture to guess that no defensive player was in the offensive backfield more. Quarterback hurries are a horribly inconsistent stat by nature, but no pass-rusher in the league was more skilled at making quarterbacks uncomfortable, forcing offenses to shift the pocket or making a quarterback throw the ball before he was ready. This year, however, he showed he can be solid in pass coverage, too, which has helped his NFL stock soar.
Despite being shut out by the coaches and the media, Miller was my pick for the league's defensive player of the year. He didn't finish the year empty-handed, though. He won the Butkus Award as college football's best linebacker, and should be a top five pick in next month's NFL draft. He was also one of the Big 12's eight consensus All-Americans.
He was at his best during conference play, and his numbers ballooned during the Aggies' toughest games, but unlike another Aggies player who A&M fans would like to see on this list, Miller had an excuse for his slow start. A sprained ankle limited him early on, and his first sack of the season actually didn't come until the team's fifth game, a loss to Arkansas. From then on Miller was the Big 12's best defensive player. He had 8.5 sacks in his final six games, including two sacks in both wins over Nebraska and Texas and 1.5 in a win over Oklahoma. He was also a big piece of the defense that stuffed the Sooners on the goal line three times during the game.
Nobody else in the Big 12 has his size (6-foot-3, 246 pounds) and speed (4.46 40-yard dash) and few anywhere in all of football possess that combination. Because of that, he'll have a chance to do big things at the next level.
We're down to No. 1 on our list now. Any guesses?
Hint 1: It took me roughly two seconds to put his name at the top of the list.
Hint 2: It's not Alex Henery.
Hint 3: It's not Malcolm Brown, either. (Or is it?)
Find out on Monday morning.
The rest of the list:
No. 3: Ryan Broyles, WR, Oklahoma
No. 5: Jeremy Beal, DE, Oklahoma
No. 8: Nate Solder, OT, Colorado
No. 9: Sam Acho, DL, Texas
No. 11: Landry Jones, QB, Oklahoma
No. 12: Lavonte David, LB, Nebraska
No. 13: Robert Griffin III, QB, Baylor
No. 14: Levy Adcock, RT, Oklahoma State
No. 15: Alfonzo Dennard, CB, Nebraska
No. 16: Blaine Gabbert, QB, Missouri
No. 17: Jeff Fuller, WR, Texas A&M
No. 18: Eric Hagg, DB, Nebraska
No. 19: DeMarco Murray, RB, Oklahoma
No. 20: Orie Lemon, LB, Oklahoma State
No. 21: Jared Crick, DT, Nebraska
No. 22: Travis Lewis, LB, Oklahoma
No. 23: Quinton Carter, S, Oklahoma
No. 24: Tim Barnes, C, Missouri
No. 25: Lyle Leong, WR, Texas Tech

The hotel was pleasant and clean. Staff were friendly and helpful. Rooms were small, but normal for European standards. It was great sitting on the balcony and watching the sites. We found a great restaurant around the corner. Sorrento is a great city to day trip from.
