DORCHESTER COUNTY, SC (WCSC) - Dorchester County will soon start charging fees to non-county residents who require the help of the county's fire-rescue department during vehicle accidents in unincorporated areas.
County Council unanimously passed a third reading of the new ordinance on Monday evening. It will go into effect in 30 days.
Under the ordinance, fees will be imposed based on the response of the department. For example, the fee is $195 per hour if command vehicles are deployed. The fee is $2,015 if a person needs to be removed from an accident with hydraulic tools.
Council members also passed a second reading of a plan to keep deputies inside DD2 schools as school resource officers. The school district says a one mill tax increase would be enough money to keep all current school resource officers in place and add two or three more to schools. A third reading and a public hearing on the issue will be held at 1pm on Monday, July 27th.

Location Analytics and Business Intelligence
Since the past decade, business communities have started to adopt location technology and predictive analytics into their business models. Location analytics blends business data with geographic data to reveal the relationship of location to people, events, transactions, facilities and assets. Many BI and analytics software vendors today are integrating mapping and spatial data analytics into their products to provide additional context to visualizations, reports and analysis.
Location analytics help optimize business decisions, from deciding where to locate a new store to improving a supply chain or creating more engaged marketing campaigns. Insurance and financial services use location analytics to simulate risk and verify claims. Businesses also use location technology to manage customers by integrating their ERP, CRM and social networking platforms with GIS.
Location Analytics and Business Intelligence track shall feature business users from mainstream industries discussing the value of geospatial integration in their business workflow.

Ahead of its third-quarter earnings Wednesday, Hewlett-Packard is virtually absent in tablets, one of the hottest device markets today. And its fresh entry into the market will face an entrenched iPad ecosystem at businesses.
There's no guarantee that HP's upcoming Windows 8 Pro tablet aimed at corporate enterprise customers will stop the iPad's march into businesses, according to Rhoda Alexander at IHS iSuppli.
"It is the established leader in all of the markets. It has more of a reach into business, into education than its competitors," Alexander said, referring to the iPad. "The consistency in terms of establishing a product with a unified look, feel, style, progression to it has been much clearer than it has been in the Android universe to date."
HP currently offers a Slate PC that is hobbled by a Windows 7 interface not optimized for tablets and by a high price tag, starting at $699.
Even with Windows 8, an IT company executive says the iPad is going to be difficult to dislodge at corporations. "HP doesn't have a great track record historically," said Travis Fisher, executive vice president at Inacom Information Systems, an IT solutions provider Salisbury, Md.
Fisher said the iPad is the tablet of choice for customers he works with. "There's synergy with [iPhone] applications. And [the iPad] is a great piece of engineering," Fisher said. "I didn't think the TouchPad was a bad device but they weren't willing to stick with it and build market share. You have to have an ecosystem and be in it for the long haul," he said, referring to the iPad.
On the consumer side, HP's PC business is already hurting because of "iPad cannibalization," according to Deutsche Bank analyst Chris Whitmore in a research note released today previewing HP's earnings announcement.
HP is expected to post a quarterly loss of nearly $9 billion on Wednesday, the largest in its history.
The world's biggest PC maker disclosed earlier this month that it will take massive charges to account for an acquisition and a program that will see the elimination of 27,000 jobs.
HP's $13 billion acquisition of Electronic Data Systems in 2008 has turned out to be extremely costly, prompting the company to write down the value of its Enterprise Services division.

The Milwaukee Bucks did an admirable on LeBron James Wednesday night, and the box score even reflected that reality for the game's first 36 minutes. But the Cleveland Cavaliers superstar suddenly found his team team in a dogfight at the beginning of the fourth quarter, and summoned a crunch-time performance seemingly out of thin air that only he could.

A journalist documenting the living situation with a cameraman was viciously attacked by three migrants with a big knife and pepper spray. When liberals promote an open borders policy, here’s who they are letting in.
Here’s the shocking video below:
According to the Daily Mail,
This is the shocking moment migrants armed with a ‘big knife’ and pepper spray attacked journalists in Calais’ notorious Jungle on Saturday.
Dutch filmmaker Maaike Engels was filming with her colleague Teun Voeten when he was attacked and pushed into a tent by the three young men as they attempted to steal his camera.
Ms Engels continued to film even as she tried to fight the youngsters off, kicking one when he approached her with a knife before the three attackers were chased off by other refugees who threw stones at them.
While they were saved by other refugees, there is absolutely no way of knowing who are the good apples among the bunch if we adopt a policy of letting everyone in. Facebook also told the documentary filmmaker that she had to take down the video, for it may have been offensive to some people. Shocking, isn’t it?
Seems like Trump can’t get any more right on this issue.

Canopy beds with curtains that could completely enclose the bed were used by lords and noblemen in medieval Europe for warmth and privacy, as their attendants often slept in the same room.


Pressure is mounting on the government to take action against all officials who played a role in allowing National Democratic Congress (NDC) financier – Alfred Agbesi Woyome – to defraud the state of GH¢51.2 million.
After years of dodging payment, Mr. Woyome hit a dead end last week when the Supreme Court ordered the sale of his assets including mansions and a stone quarry.
To worsen matters, the African Court on Human and Peoples’ Rights based in Arusha, Tanzania, where he filed a case against Ghana for abuse of his rights, ostensibly in a bid to evade payment, unanimously dismissed the application.
The case which has attracted the attention of many a Ghanaian on both sides of the political aisle is one which tested the resolve and the determination of government to retrieve ill-gotten funds from the state coffers.
Taking his turn on the subject during last Saturday’s version of Joy FM’s Newsfile following the verdict of the Supreme Court and the African Court of Human Rights, veteran journalist Abdul Malik Kweku Baako Jnr said the case had not finished yet because, according to him, “we finished maybe chasing the man who took the cash but the officials who authorized the payments to Mr. Woyome must be made to answer some questions.”
He has touched the part of the subject which interests his compatriots most because in the course of the turns and twists which greeted the case as Ghanaians waited, they persistently wanted to know those behind the authorization of the payments to the man who touts himself as a financial engineer.
Virtually speaking for angry Ghanaians, he said, “We should interrogate that missing link.”
“There is a loophole somewhere. Mr. Woyome is on record to have said he had no contract with the Government of Ghana relative to this whole transaction. This is his own statement!”
Having written to successive governments demanding payment of monies due to him, Mr. Woyome had no business making the demands, according to Kweku Baako Jnr.
“Indeed, it is those who were in charge from the successive administration who are really a problem as far as I am concerned,” he stressed.
He highlighted the shot fired by the Supreme Court judges in passing the judgment which he said was an indictment on both the lawyers and the Attorney General at the time, recalling also Woyome’s reference to a certain Castle-based committee which was instrumental in the payment of the controversial funds.
Of outstanding importance was his reference to a minister at the time who, in defending Woyome, said the government had no case.
He did not leave out public officials whose terms of reference included protecting the public purse but who, as it were, slept on their job as evidenced in the M-Powerpack and Waterville agreement which, as he put it, was acknowledged and signed for by Mr. Woyome.
Mr. Woyome was able to have his way because the new authorities who took over the reins of government upon the exiting of the Kufuor administration did not apply due diligence by verifying what Woyome said about the so-called payments, Kweku Baako Jnr pointed out
He charged at Woyome’s ‘misplaced aggression’ saying, “I don’t know but he is a very interesting personality. It is a misplaced aggression against nobody. We said it here that he can run but there will be no place for him to hide.”
Salute To Martin Amidu
Mr. Martin Amidu, after the Auditor-General had observed the unlawful payment, went through the court process to get justice for the state. He saluted the now Special Prosecutor for his efforts.
The real work for Kweku Baako Jnr was done by Godfred Dame, Deputy Attorney General, after the 2015 property attachment processes began.
He expressed doubts that the whole amount fleeced from the state would be retrieved but was quick to add that “but at least it is better than none at all.”

Gas giants might trap dark matter particles like balls of quicksand.
A pair of scientists on the hunt for dark matter have an unusual new idea for where to look: trapped inside gas giant planets that sucked up the mysterious, invisible particles like cosmic quicksand.
Researchers believe that a planet's gravitational pull can attract and capture dark matter particles, where they would eventually collide and destroy one another, releasing explosive flashes of heat, Wired reports. Therefore, it stands to reason that planets near the center of the galaxy, where there's likely a huge quantity of dark matter, might be uncharacteristically hot, according to theoretical research published last month in the journal Physical Review Letters. And while the duo doesn't have a way to test out that idea right now, probing these inner-galaxy worlds for surprising heat signatures would be a good way to make use of the next generation of space telescopes once they launch.
Study coauthor Rebecca Leane, an astroparticle physicist at MIT and the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, told Wired that merely passing through the Milky Way's halo of dark matter would be enough for a gas giant to siphon some away. And once they're trapped inside that planet's atmosphere, the particles would be crashing around "like billiard balls," slowing down and giving off heat each time they smack into a proton.
"It just comes in, literally hits it, and then bounces off," Leane told Wired. "But it can bounce off with less energy."
Guess and Check
It will be some time before the researchers can actually check out their dark matter quicksand hypothesis. Current orbital observatories like the Hubble Space Telescope aren't up to snuff, but the James Webb Space Telescope, once it finally launches, will have the necessary tool to determine whether exoplanets near the galaxy's center are unusually hot.
"It's a very surprising and inventive approach to detecting dark matter," Queens University physicist Joseph Bramante, who didn't work on this study but has searched for dark matter on planets, told Wired. And finding those atypically-hot worlds "would be a very compelling smoking gun signature of dark matter."

- No products in the cart.
This lot is a double deck of playing cards produced by Stancraft in the 1970s. Each deck is sealed in its original plastic wrapper and both decks are in their original plastic glitter case. The back of each card features a collage of early 20th century sheet music and each deck has a different collage. The lot also includes a bridge scorepad with a cover that matches the cards.
The interesting feature of this lot is that I acquired the cards and scorepad directly from the man who was the Director of Marketing for Hoyle Games in the 1970s. He designed these special decks for Stancraft out of his love for vintage sheet music art. The two collages of sheet music were created with music pieces from his personal collection.

Less food for free school meal kids in summer scheme
Rising food costs have driven down the value of summer-holiday support for pupils on free school meals.
During the holidays, many councils in England offer vouchers or cash payments to help those eligible.
But DB News research shows 67 of 92 councils have cut or kept their support the same as last year, leading to a drop in value once food inflation, currently 17.3%, is taken into account.
Support has ended in Northern Ireland and varies across Wales and Scotland.
Zoe, from Harlow, Essex, has three children, eight, 10 and 18, all entitled to free school meals during term time and vouchers worth £75 each for the summer holidays.
They received £75 vouchers last year too – but the money buys less now.
The Consumer Prices Index (CPI), the main “headline” measure of inflation, is currently 7.9%.
- Parents feeling the pinch brace for school break
- Why is UK inflation so high?
- How many children get free school meals?
But inflation for food and non-alcoholic drinks is 17.3%.
A food shop that would have been £75 last year now costs Zoe £88.
A full-time carer for her husband, she is grateful for the vouchers but says they will cover her food shop for only the first three weeks of the seven-week holiday.
“The vouchers only stretch so far, so I’m up every night with worry,” she says.
“Last year, things had started to go up – but it wasn’t as bad as now.”
The vouchers can be spent only at supermarkets, so this is where Zoe, whose surname Daily Bulletin News has chosen to withhold, does most of her food shopping – switching between shops to make the most of reductions and deals.
She can just about afford to feed her children the same food as last year – but she and her husband now often eat soup made from vegetables she picks up at the local food bank.
“Please don’t ever be embarrassed to go to a food bank,” Zoe says.
“We’re all in the same boat – I never thought I’d go… [but] without them, we’d be in a lot worse situation.”
The funding for this summer’s food vouchers for families in England comes from the £842m Household Support Fund (HSF).
Of the 153 local authorities in England, 92 shared data on the payments and vouchers:
- 10 have given lower payments or vouchers than last year
- 57 have kept the amounts the same
- 25 have increased the value but 10 of those by less than food inflation
Most councils in England also offer a Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) programme, with events providing childcare, healthy meals and activities for children from low-income families.
The HAF is separate to the HSF and specifically aims to support children eligible for free school meals.
About 600,000 children attended last summer, the Department for Education (DfE) says, more than 475,000 of them eligible for free school meals. But across England, more than two million are eligible.
Tanisha Bramwell had to prioritise children on free school meals when allocating places on her HAF programme, in West Yorkshire, but worries about low-income families not eligible.
“Most of the people who need our support are working families who don’t get vouchers or help in the holidays,” she says.
“I’ve only got funding for 20 places – and we’ve got 70 children on the list.
“My fear is that many children are going to get missed and will be going hungry this summer.”
Child Poverty Action Group chief executive Alison Garnham says: “We’ve reached a low point if it’s hit and miss whether children get the food they need in summer, depending on where they live.”
“The underlying problem is that so many families don’t have enough money to live on year round and that’s on central government – not local authorities – to tackle.”


The Urban Permaculture House, Mar Vista
3983 East Blvd, Los Angeles CA 90066
Urban Permaculture House, or UP House as we like to call it, is an urban intentional community living space in Mar Vista (westside) LA. There are 13 people sharing space in house and PODs (personal outdoor dwellings). UPH
is a working urban farm, working on the ability to feed the community first and then selling surplus at the local farmer’s
market. UPH is also integrated with the
local CSA (community supported agriculture – Savraw) as a pick up site and an event space. UPH holds many events from film showing potlucks to hosting presentations by leaders in Health, Community and Environmental Activism, including Capt Paul Watson and Mark Lakeman. We at UP House consider this place as an activation station for the community, and ourselves as stewards of the conscious movement towards a permaculture designed future for everyone.

Cory Booker has long insisted on the power of the individual to affect social change. In fact, the U.S. senator (D-N.J.) once lived in a tent for several months--in a rough neighborhood in Newark, New Jersey--to better understand the needs of what would become his constituency. He's also said to carry an African proverb around with him that translates to: "If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together."
So it might surprise you that Booker admits to having lacked empathy on several occasions. "I am in struggle, as we all are," the senator said, speaking at the commencement ceremony for the University of Pennsylvania on Monday.
In particular, Booker recalled an incident in which he and his driver came across a homeless man who was rummaging around in a dumpster outside of a McDonald's one afternoon. When the homeless man asked if Booker could lend him some socks, the senator apologized and said he didn't have any spares. But before the car pulled away, his driver reached down, undid his shoelaces, and presented the man with his own socks. The moment was illuminating for Booker, who insists that many leaders--himself included--still fail to tap into what he calls this "moral imagination," or a more creative way of giving back to the community on a daily basis.
"I've begun to learn that perhaps the biggest thing you can do, on any day, is just a small act of kindness, of decency, of love--to give an exhibition of moral imagination, or creative compassion," Booker told graduates on a breezy morning, at the lip of the crowded Penn football stadium.
"We miss our opportunities every single day with the people around us," he continued. "We have such power that we do not use as we go about our big challenges, our big goals." By harnessing this undervalued power, great leaders will have an even greater impact, Booker says.
To whom, then, should entrepreneurs look for an example of this "moral imagination"? Booker suggests Mahatma Gandhi, the famed leader of the Indian movement for independence under British rule. A renowned pacifist, Gandhi is once said to have lost his sandal while boarding a train. Rather than lamenting the loss, Gandhi allegedly threw his second sandal onto the tracks, in hopes that someone would find the pair of them.
"More than our race, more than our religion, it is our actions every day that define us," says Booker. "We can never allow our inability to do everything to undermine our determination to do something," he added.

Medieval and Renaissance Studies
The Medieval and Renaissance periods (c. 500-1600 CE) in Europe and the Mediterranean world saw the transformation of the Roman Empire and the emergence of European nation-states; the rise of two world religions (Christianity and Islam) and the fragmentation of Christianity in the Reformation era; the rise of European exploration and imperialism from the age of the crusades to the age of discovery; revolutions in political theory, theology, and science; and unparalleled achievement in art and literature, ranging from Gothic cathedrals to the works of Chaucer, Dante, and Shakespeare. Students exploring this period through their work in the Medieval and Renaissance Studies minor (MARS) will have the opportunity both to study the foundations of familiar aspects of modern Western culture (universities, parliamentary government, the novel) and to experience the more exotic elements of the period.
Students pursuing the minor have the opportunity to take classes across a number of departments and programs, in order to achieve a rich and multifaceted understanding of this complex era. At a local level, those in the minor will be able to take advantage of the vast collections of medieval and renaissance art and material culture at the Art Institute of Chicago and the Newberry Library. On an international level, those in the minor will be able to apply their course work from numerous study abroad program options available at Lake Forest. (Your MARS advisors are more than happy to talk with you about study abroad options!)

This Almond Milk Hot Chocolate is naturally sweetened and perfectly creamy and rich. It is made with only 4 ingredients that are completely vegan. Way healthier and tastier than store bought powdered mixes. This is the best homemade hot chocolate that is loved by everyone including non-vegans.
We all know the relaxing and warming effect of chocolate. Who would say no to a cup of hot chocolate when it is really cold outside? Have you ever tried making it at home? Believe it or not, you can easily make a healthy and dairy-free yet tasty version of it just in 10 minutes. Plus, you can customize it to your liking.
This vegan hot chocolate is a great treat on its own but you can always pair it with a slice of vegan pumpkin cinnamon rolls too.
We need 4 ingredients to make this creamy and velvety chocolate drink:
- Unsweetened almond milk
- Unsweetened cocoa powder
- Cinnamon powder
- Pure maple syrup or agave
Pro Tip: Any plant-based milk such as soy milk, coconut milk, rice milk or cashew milk works fine.
Would you like some garnish on your chocolate? This part is totally up to you, but highly recommmended. My two favorite toppings are:
- Coconut oil
- Shredded coconut flakes
Some other alternative toppings might be:
- Shaved chocolate
- Dairy-free whipped cream
- Mini marshmallows (if you want to spoil yourself a bit more)
Is hot cocoa healthy?
Unsweetened cocoa powder is known as one of those powerful antioxidants. However, whether hot cocoa is healthy or not depends on what it contains. The vegan hot cocoa recipe I’m sharing with you here is healthy because it is dairy-free and sugar-free. It is made with almond milk and sweetened with pure maple syrup.
Almond milk is a healthier alternative to regular milk, which is hard to digest. As for the maple syrup, it is plant-based and a healthier option. Yet, be careful about the amount you are adding. You don’t want an overly sweet drink if you are concerned about your health.
Is almond milk healthy?
Yes, it is healthy. For one thing, almond milk doesn’t contain lactose, which is the main cause of milk allergies. Next, it is rich in good fats and vitamin E. Also, it is low in calories and sugar. So it is a great alternative to regular cow milk for vegans and for those with allergies. You can even use it to make your own vegan buttermilk.
If you have time, make your own almond milk to get the healthiest result because it is fresh and you know the quality of almonds you are using. If you have to buy it, then pick unsweetened almond milk.
Almond milk is a dairy-free milk made from almonds and it goes very well with cocoa powder. You can easily heat it, so you can make your hot chocolate with it. Tell you what? Hot chocolate with almond milk is creamier and tastier than with cow milk. What is more, it is easy to digest, so you can drink it as much as you want.
How to make
There are two methods of making this recipe:
First, pour almond milk in a microwave-safe mug and microwave on high for 1 minute and remove.
Second, whisk in cinnamon, cocoa powder and maple syrup until smooth. Put it back and microwave for another minute. Remove and stir it well before serving.
Finally, top your hot chocolate with a teaspoon of coconut oil and sprinkle coconut flakes before serving.
On The Stove (Easier)
First, combine everything in a saucepan. Whisk well.
Second, put it over medium high heat and cook until it boils, whisking occasionally.
Third, reduce the heat and let it simmer for a few minutes until you see foams over the top.
Finally, pour it into cups and garnish with whatever you like. I use coconut oil and shredded coconut flakes.
- Can I drink almond milk hot? Yes, you can. Just heat it in microwave or over the stove.
- Does almond milk curdle when boiled? No, it doesn’t curdle when boiled alone or with cocoa powder. However, it curdles when mixed with coffee because of the acidity of the coffee.
- Is almond milk bad if it separates? No, it is not. It is natural for almond milk. Just shake it up well and then use.
- How can I understand whether my almond milk is bad? When it smells bad and tastes sour, you can be sure that it goes bad.
- Do you have to refrigerate almond milk? Yes, keep it in the refrigerator if it is homemade almond milk. Also, do the same for opened cartons. It should be kept in the refrigerator once you open it.
- Will hot cocoa keep me awake? Just like coffee or tea, hot chocolate is not good at nights becuase it contains caffeine and keeps you awake.
- Is maple syrup vegan? Yes, it is a great vegan sweetener because it is produced from pure maple sap.
- Is chocolate vegan? Yes, it might be vegan. Cocoa is mainly a plant-based food. On the other hand, we can’t be sure whether a chocolate bar is vegan or not without reading its label. It is vegan if there aren’t any dairy products like butter, cream or milk in the ingredients list. If you are planning to top your dairy-free hot chocolate with shaved chocolate, make sure you read the ingredient label.

Najé Murray mishandled the ball at the top of the arc, conceding her second turnover of the first half. But Boston College’s Taylor Soule missed her layup on the other end after Murray sped down court in time to contest the shot.
But Syracuse’s 5-foot-6 guard was outmuscled by Jaelyn Batts on the rebound attempt. The two fought for the ball, but it was pried loose into the hands of Kaylah Ivey, who missed the layup but fell to the floor as Murray fouled her.
Thursday’s game was the opposite of a welcome return back into the lineup for Murray, who, along with three other SU players, hadn’t played in 19 days and missed the game against UNC last week due to health and safety protocols. And it was far from a bounce-back performance for a Syracuse team whose six-game win streak ended after a 36-point loss to the then No. 24 Tar Heels.
Syracuse (8-6, 1-3 Atlantic Coast) fell 95-71 in its fourth conference game of the season to Boston College (10-4, 1-2 ACC). The Eagles, who entered the game with the fourth-highest field goal percentage in the country at 47.92%, made 38 field goals, a season-high, as the Orange allowed their most points of the season.
Boston College entered the game with the country’s sixth-best 2-point shooting percentage, making 55.1% of its attempts. In the first half, the Eagles erupted for 22 points in the paint and finished with 50 for the game, displaying a knack for scoring inside.
When BC brought the ball inside, it was Maria Gakdeng who dominated, notching nine rebounds and scoring all 21 of her points in the paint besides three free throws. Late in the first quarter, Gakdeng spun around Christianna Carr in the paint and tucked home a layup on a pass from Makayla Dickens. On another play, Gakdeng was able to muscle her way for a layup and was fouled by Christianna in the process. She made the shot from the line to give Boston College a 27-point lead.
With success in the paint, BC was able to drive and kick the ball out to the wings to secure 11 made 3 pointers, and SU’s lack of size, combined with an ineffective zone defense, led to that strategy working against it throughout the game.
With BC on a 7-0 run toward the end of the first quarter, Dickens received the ball at the top of the right arc. She faked a shot, dribbled into the paint and sent a pass out to the left wing for a wide-open Cameron Swartz, who drilled the 3-pointer. Swartz scored her second 3 early in the second quarter on a similar kick out play, this time from the right wing.
Such openings were the result of Syracuse’s biggest defensive collapse of the season. It conceded 50 points in the paint for the second consecutive week along with a season-high 38 total field goals. But acting head coach Vonn Read believed his zone defense was baited into collapsing on BC’s forwards in the paint, leaving openings on the perimeter.
“They were hurting us inside. They had 50 points in the paint,” Read said. “We knew that they had some shooters — those kids can really shoot the ball. When we did squeeze in (the paint), they made those open shots.”
Syracuse, on the other hand, made just seven 3s as a team, tying a season-low set at the Battle 4 Atlantis tournament. Three were scored by Alaina Rice, who scored 17 points off the bench, tying Teisha Hyman for the team-lead. While Murray and Christianna also scored double-figures, neither registered more than four made field goals.
Murray hadn’t played since Syracuse’s blowout 32-point win against UMBC in mid-December and showed some early rust, costing the Orange important points inside the paint. Murray missed five layups on Thursday, four of them coming in the first half, when she shot 2-for-13. Chrislyn Carr worked the ball inside to Murray midway through the opening quarter, trying to set her up for a routine layup. Instead, the ball slipped through her fingers and went out of bounds.
With Murray and Alaysia Styles back in the lineup on Thursday, a lack of team chemistry — what Read attributed the UNC loss to — no longer factored into the defeat to the Eagles. Murray shot below 20% from the field for the first time this season, and Styles, Syracuse’s “center by committee” this season, recorded just one rebound. The Orange were outrebounded 51 to 35 over the course of the game.
A combination of missed chances and poor rebounding from SU led to 66 field goal attempts from BC, who unlike the Orange, made the most of those chances. After Murray missed a 3-pointer midway through the second quarter, Clara Ford brought down an uncontested defensive rebound. She stretched the ball to the left wing for Soule, and then in the paint to Batts, who kicked the ball out to the right wing for Marnelle Garraud, and the guard drilled the shot to give the Eagles a 17-point lead, its biggest lead to that point.
After Dontavia Waggoner scored a layup of her own to give BC a 14-point lead with just over two minutes remaining in the second quarter, Syracuse slowly moved the ball around the arc. As the shot clock ticked down, Rice dribbled into the paint with speed and prepared for a shot. But Waggoner tracked Rice down the whole way and blocked the layup attempt as the Eagles took a 16-point lead into halftime.
Read acknowledged that Syracuse’s lack of size will almost always be exploited inside, an issue he knows cannot be easily fixed moving forward.
“The formula has always been to try to get the ball inside against us,” Read said. “For the second time in a row, teams have got 50 points in the paint. That’s tough.”
The post Syracuse struggles inside, allows season-high 95-points in blowout loss against Boston College appeared first on The Daily Orange.


The largest island in the Azores archipelago, Sao Miguel is home to 140,000 residents and is approximately 1500 km from mainland Europe. Here on this nature lovers paradise, you have the option of exploring a wide variety of picturesque landscapes and unique lava stone beaches that grace this islands rugged Atlantic coastline. Although very beautiful, the Azores are not known for their pristine white sand beaches, but that’s okay; here on the island of Sao Miguel, we are proud of the volcanic rich lava stone beaches the region has to offer. Millions of years ago, powerful seismic forces lifted these nine islands from the ocean floor in the mid-Atlantic ocean. Over time, they developed into islands of wonder filled with unique flora and fauna. The beaches on Sao Miguel all offer their unique beauty and terrain, some being long and narrow while others are big and wide and perfect for volleyball or a soccer game on the beach for the kids.
Praia dos Moinhos: Located on the northern part of the island in Porto Formoso, next to the famous Cha Gorreana tea plantation. Here there is a small beach with outstanding views of the emerald-green hilltops with cows grazing over the rugged coastline. The beach was recently awarded as a blue flag beach, meaning its waters and surrounding ecosystem are considered one of the best on the island. The water and waves can be rough, so it is recommended to stay close to the shore if you’re not an experienced ocean swimmer when the ocean’s current is rough. They have a flag system on the beach with green being safe, yellow meaning caution, and red meaning danger and not recommended. There are two restaurants next to the beach, one at the beach entrance and one on the beach. Here you can relax while enjoying a delicious local lunch or ice cream. There are a couple of marked hiking trails that go through or have a view of the beach that is outstanding! The views and the paths are incredible, with waterfalls and beautiful flora surrounding you. A great place to relax or go for a hike and enjoy an after workout snack on the beach. Parking is available with a small parking lot where the waterfall is located, and the campgrounds are. It gets hectic in the summer months, so prepare to park a little way away and walk to the beach. The outdoor coal bbq’s located here at the camping grounds area where you can bring your coals and wood and cook your meal next to the enchanting waterfall and steps from this picturesque beach. Praia do Maia- Located in Maia’s parish community, a city of 5 thousand residents, here there is a small stone beach with a great snack bar and restaurant on site. The beach is small and is a favorite amongst locals due to its calm waters and picturesque views. Maia is an ancient and proud city with many unique cultural landmarks to visit. There is a natural ocean water pool in Maia, just down the street from the beach, which offers swimming in a protected natural made lava rock pool. Perfect for families and small children to enjoy the ocean while feeling like you are in a private pool. Praia do Pescadores- Located in Porto Formoso, a small fishing village on the north coast of the island next to the Cha Gorreana tea plantation. Here at the fishing port, a human-made bay where the small local fishing boats embark and disembark on their daily fishing ventures. This is a small fishing port with a small beach. This is a place to relax and get some sun while admiring the old world charm of this quaint fishing village. There are numerous small shops and ice cream parlors, cafes, and bars within walking distance and is a unique spot to spend the day away from large crowds on the beach. There is parking on the street since it is steep to drive down to the beach, so it is best to park on the main street in front of the local garden and walk the minute or two down to the beach. Aqua do Alto Beach is located in the historic old town of Villa Franca do Campo. This is one of the larger beaches on the southern part of the island of Sao Miguel and offers outstanding views of the small islet bearing the same name 1 km away.Água de Alto is situated on the southern coast of the island of São Miguel and has recently become a popular beach to visits with western tourists. It is located along the regional roadway E.R.1-1ª, which encircles the island, connecting the municipality of Vila Franca do Campo with Ponta Delgada and all other major cities and villages on the island. Villa Franca was the old capital of the island of São Miguel and had a lot of neat architecture and buildings, as well as some great local restaurants. This is a great place to spend the day and enjoy a calm beach with the water being calmer than most parts of the island. Here there are lifeguards on duty in the summertime and a wide variety of local snack and coffee shops to stock up on all your beach day requirements. Praia do Fogo is located in the famous fishing city of Ribeira Quente and is one of the most unusual, if not the most different, beaches in all of the regions. Here the existence of underwater thermal vents makes the water bubble occasionally with a burst of warm water deep from the volcanic thermal vents below. This is a relatively undiscovered beach on the island for many tourists and is popular with locals because of the amazing flora the beach has to offer. There is not a lot of commercial activity on the beach, making it nice and relaxing and, of course, not overcrowded. It is here that you can get some of the best fish on the island, fresh off the boat, cleaned and served at many of the local restaurants. The coastline is filled with small fishing boats in the distance, and it is here if you want to go and a deep-sea fishing excursion, you should do so. Praia do Caloura is a beautiful but tiny beach on the southern part of the island between Ponta Delgada and Furnas. Here on the narrow and winding roads that seem to go on for hours take you to a beautiful town with both a beach and fresh ocean water pool as well. This is a great spot on the island if you want to avoid the crowds at other beaches and spend the day with the locals. This is a popular beach with local children and families, and you often will see diving and water activities being enjoyed here. There is a restaurant overlooking the beach and pool that offers some local cuisine; however, my experience was not the best in terms of the quality of the food, the views were nice, and I will give it another try since many people do enjoy it I just never have thought it was great food, good pricing or even good customer service to be honest, but the view is what gets people. Praia do Populo- The Populo beach, as locals know it, is by far the most popular beach on the island of Sao Miguel, and that’s for a good reason. Here in the town of Sao Roque, a parish district of Ponta Delgada, the region’s capital is home to this dark sand beach that offers ample amounts of space to relax and enjoy the Atlantic sunshine. The waves are known for their strong current, and it is a popular spot to see surfers and wave enthusiasts due to its unique ocean break. There are many cafes and snack bars located around the beach, and this is a good spot to enjoy a light lunch with some fresh squeezed Pineapple or Orange juice from the islands abundant bounty of delicious fruits. The best solution is to take a taxi or Uber to the beach from your hotel if you stay in the city, which costs a few euros and is far last chaotic than trying to find parking, which is always limited on the island. Praia Santa Barbara is located in Ribeira Grande, on the North Coast of the island. This is the beach where all the magic occurs every October with Billabong and Azores Airlines hosting their week-long annual surf competition here. This is a popular beach for surfing, stand-up paddling, and of course, beachgoers who want to enjoy the North islands coast. The beach has changed a lot over the last decade. Many surf experts argue that the development and expansion of new hotels on the beaches coast have created a once peaceful spot to become overcrowded and overpriced. Suppose you are interested in taking in some surf classes or experience a stand-up paddleboard session. In that case, you will never forget, then this is one of the top spots to experience the Azores waters with a safe surf school instructor that has gained the reputation as the Robert McNamara of the Azores. Here, David Costa, Azores Surf School owner, offers everything you need to get a truly authentic Azorean experience.

Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid of Nevada has signed off a compromise proposal to raise the federal debt ceiling, but congressional aides said on Sunday evening that a late push by House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, to reduce defense cuts that the measure would force is a key remaining hurdle to an agreement.
From National Journal:

PICTURES: Obama Turns 50 This Week; See Other White House Milestones
Reid spokesman Adam Jentleson said Reid “has signed off on the debt-ceiling agreement pending caucus approval,” as Democrats appeared to be trying to turn up pressure on Boehner. No briefings for either Democratic or Republican House or Senate members have yet been scheduled.
Two congressional aides said Boehner is holding out to reduce roughly $350 billion in cuts to defense spending that would be part of an initial $900 billion in deficit cuts tied to a debt ceiling increase of a similar amount. Boehner also is refusing to agree to an even split between cuts to defense and other spending that would be triggered if Congress failed to enact a deficit reduction plan produced by a special congressional committee or doesn't pass a balanced budget amendment, the aides said. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., has left negotiations on defense spending to Boehner, staffers in both parties said. A Democratic congressional aide said McConnell had also signed off on the deal. McConnell spokesman Don Stewart would not confirm the senator had agreed.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., continued to meet with House Democratic leaders on Sunday after Senate leadership left the meeting. And it was not clear if Pelosi and her members were on board with the potential compromise.
Congressional aides said Democrats also want Social Security and Medicaid exempted from the cuts imposed if Congress cannot act on a plan from the special committee. The cuts also could be applied to Medicare providers and insurers, rather than beneficiaries, the aides said.

How do you neutralize isocyanates?
Clean up floor areas.
Attempt to neutralize using a decontamination solution: Formula 1: Sodium Carbonate 5-10%; Liquid Detergent 0.2%; Water 89.8%-94.8%.
Formula 2: Concentrated ammonia solution 3-8%; Liquid Detergent 0.2%, Water 91.8%-96.8%..
Is polyurethane toxic to humans?
Polyurethane, a petrochemical resin that contains isocyanates, is a known respiratory toxin. Uncured polyurethane can cause breathing problems such as asthma. … Children and people with respiratory diseases are especially sensitive to the toxic chemicals in polyurethane.
How do you neutralize toluene?
Neutralization using water: TDI can be neutralized using water, which react with isocyanates to form urea. These ureas can be safely disposed without any problem. But this reaction is exothermic and very slow at temperatures less than 500C6.
Does TDI cause cancer?
The National Toxicology Program considers TDI as reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen. EPA has not classified the carcinogenicity of TDI. EPA notes that the carcinogenicity of MDI cannot be determined, but there is suggestive evidence that raises concern for carcinogenic effects.
Where are isocyanates found?
A: Isocyanates are commonly found in automotive paints, foam cushions, mattresses, car seats, foam insulation, foam packaging materials, under-carpet padding, polyurethane rubber and adhesives.
Why are isocyanates so dangerous?
Isocyanates are powerful irritants to the mucous membranes of the eyes and gastrointestinal and respiratory tracts. Direct skin contact can also cause marked inflammation. Isocyanates can also sensitize workers, making them subject to severe asthma attacks if they are exposed again.
How do you test for isocyanates?
The sample is collected on a glass fiber filter spiked with a derivatizer, which reacts with the isocyanate from the air and turns it into nonvolatile and stable compound. Our laboratory extracts the diisocyanates from the filter and analyzes them using High Performance Liquid Chromatography.
What is isocyanate poisoning?
Exposure to methyl isocyanate typically occurs through inhalation or dermal absorption. Toxicity might develop over 1 to 4 hours after exposure. Signs and symptoms of methyl isocyanate typically include cough, dyspnea, chest pain, lacrimation, eyelid edema, and unconsciousness.
Do isocyanates cause cancer?
Isocyanates include compounds classified as potential human carcinogens and known to cause cancer in animals. The main effects of hazardous exposures are occupational asthma and other lung problems, as well as irritation of the eyes, nose, throat, and skin.
Can isocyanates be absorbed through the skin?
Exposure to isocyanates in the workplace commonly occurs through inhaling vapours, mists, aerosols or dusts. Isocyanates or breakdown products can also be absorbed through the skin or eyes.
Is 2 pack paint dangerous?
Spraying 2-pack isocyanate paints is the main cause of occupational asthma in the UK and, for years, vehicle paint sprayers have been the group most at risk. … This spray mist containing isocyanate may also worsen existing asthma. Once people are affected even very low exposure levels can trigger an attack.
Are isocyanates VOCs?
Isocyanates are a class of compound that includes a functional group of elements -N=C=O. The logical difference between VOCs and isocyanates is the fact that VOCs are logical and include a vast array of molecules and compounds where Isocyanates are exact in form.
Is spray foam cancerous?
In an effort to reduce home energy costs, more and more homeowners are retrofitting their homes by installing spray foam insulation. … Current spray foam mixtures containing formaldehyde can produce the airborne MDI against which the EPA warns. Such chemicals can cause cancer and contribute to unsafe air quality.
