If you're a guy who's experiencing hair loss, you don't have to sit there and take it. You have many options for treatment, ranging from the Cappilus Laser Hat to scalp micropigmentation. Other treatment options include surgery and medications. Finasteride is a prescription hair loss medication that can help treat male pattern baldness. Learn more about finasteride, also known as Propecia, and see if it's a good hair loss treatment for you.
Propecia is the brand name of finasteride, a 5-alpha-reductace inhibitor. Finasteride was originally marketed as a medication to help guys with prostate issues. But doctors conducting the clinical trials noticed that it also seemed to help regrow hair. In the late 1997s, the FDA approved the medication for treating male pattern baldness.
To understand how Propecia works, it helps to understand male pattern baldness. Male pattern baldness occurs in guys who are sensitive to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a stronger form of testosterone. DHT causes certain hair follicles, usually those on the top of the scalp, to shrink, or miniaturize. The shrunken follicles are no longer able to produce healthy hair. Propecia blocks 5-alpha-reductase, the enzyme that transforms testosterone into DHT.
During clinical trials for the medication, about 86 percent of the men who took it saw their hair loss stop. About 65 percent saw regrowth of hair, according to WebMD. Propecia is so far that only medication available that is able to lower the levels of DHT in a man's body. It's often recommended as the first line of treatment against male pattern baldness by the American Hair Loss Association.
Another benefit of finasteride is that it can be taken on its own or used along with another hair restoration procedure to improve results. For example, your doctor might prescribe Propecia after hair restoration surgery to help slow down or halt the progression of hair loss in untreated areas of the scalp. The Capillus Laser Hat can help stimulate hair growth along with taking finasteride.
It's important to understand that Propecia can cause a number of side effects, some of them more severe than others. One of the most noteworthy side effects is a loss of libido, which can last for as long as you take the medicine. Such side effects are usually very rare, though and affect a very small percentage of patients.
Another thing to know about Propecia is that you need to continue to take it to see the benefits. Hair loss can progress or return if you go off of the medication for any reason.
Also, Propecia is for men only. Women shouldn't take it and it's particularly important that women who are pregnant not even touch it, as handling crushed finasteride tablets can cause birth defects in male fetuses.
While Propecia can be an effective hair loss treatment for many men, it's not your own option. To learn more about hair restoration and other hair loss treatments, call 844-261-7020 to schedule a consultation at Contemporary Hair Transplant in Paramus, NJ today.


The latest generation of Samsung lamp based Projection DLP TVs utilitize one of two enclosures: either the BP96-01472A or the BP96-01653A Enclosure. Both enclosures cover the HLS and HLT Series DLP sets.
The Samsung BP96-01653A Enclosure is powered by a Philips "e22" style lamp, operating at 132W / 120W watts. It's a 1.0mm arc lamp and its mean life is rated between 6,000-7,000 hours. That equates to roughly 3 to 3 1/2 years. Remember, this is the MEAN…we've seen a range between 2,000 to 30,000 hours on UHP lamps. Information on how you can extend the life of your projection tv lamp, click here: 7 Tips for extending RPTV lamp life.
**If your model number is not listed here, contact us!
— Do NOT purchase generic brand lamps such as LTI, APO or third-party manufacturers such as OSRAM. These lamps were NOT engineered with and for your TV…only your Philips lamp has been engineered to work flawlessly and output the best possible color. Above that, it just doesn't make sense to choose an aftermarket lamp for a $5-$10 difference (and in many cases they are more expensive!!). Be a smart consumer and do your research! Discount-Merchant.com promises to be the low price leader in all Projection TV Lamps they carry…if this is not true, let us know and we'll fix it!
‹ How do I replace the lamp out of my RCA, Samsung, Sony, Zenith, Hitachi, Panasonic, JVC, Philips, or LG TV?
Are you looking for something in particular? Our forum has a great community of experts to help you out.

The National Shooting Sports Foundation's Board of Governors has announced that Steve Sanetti has accepted the position of president and chief executive officer of NSSF, effective May 1.
by Kevin Paulson | Mar 26, 2008 | Pro-Staff Blog
The National Shooting Sports Foundation's Board of Governors has announced that Steve Sanetti has accepted the position of president and chief executive officer of NSSF, effective May 1.
The Board of Governors began the search for a new president and CEO following its annual meeting in late February.
Sanetti is well known throughout the firearms industry, having spent 28 years with Sturm, Ruger and Company as an executive and general counsel, and been a member of the NSSF Board of Governors and the Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers' Institute (SAAMI) Board of Directors.
"Steve is one of the most well-respected individuals in our industry," said Robert Scott, chairman of the NSSF Board of Governors. "His experience and good judgment have been valued at Sturm, Ruger for decades and by the industry at large for his role in helping defeat the municipal lawsuits filed against our industry."
Sanetti said he was thrilled to be taking the helm of the 47-year-old trade association. "Although I've been in this industry for 30 years and associated with the NSSF Board of Governors for 15 of those years, the challenges we all face will be new and constantly changing. The only way we will survive and prosper is to be flexible in our thinking and creative in our problem solving. New situations demand novel approaches, and I am confident that with the skilled staff and thousands of loyal members of NSSF we will continue to help increase participation in and understanding of the shooting sports we are so passionate about.
"I am excited to begin this new phase of my career at a place where I can have a positive and lasting impact on the future of hunting and shooting," he added.
Sanetti was hired by Bill Ruger in 1980 to be the company's first general counsel and rose up through the executive ranks to become, in 2003, president, vice chairman of the board and chief operating officer, the position he currently holds. A founding member of the Firearms Litigation Support Committee, Sanetti helped direct the successful coordinated response to municipal lawsuits that threatened the firearms industry in the late 1990s.
In addition to his legal and executive experience, Sanetti brings strong communications skills to the position, having written numerous articles and given many interviews defending the lawful and responsible ownership and use of firearms. He has spoken on 60 Minutes, ABC News Nightline, CNBC, National Public Radio and before various federal and state legislative bodies.
Sanetti is an avid hunter, target shooter, firearms collector and amateur gunsmith who was a three-year member of his college rifle team and later the team's coach. He was the enthusiastic captain of many victorious Ruger shooting teams at industry competitions and says his favorite hobby is to spend a day target shooting with his family.
A 1971 Distinguished Military Graduate (with honors) of the Virginia Military Institute, Sanetti earned his law degree from Washington & Lee University Law School. He served as a captain in the U.S. Army from 1975-1978 and was chief of criminal law for the First Cavalry Division at Ft. Hood, Texas.
At the Board of Governors meeting last month, Doug Painter, president and CEO of NSSF for the last six years, requested a change of position to become senior advisor and trade liaison. Painter praised the choice of Sanetti as his successor, "Steve has a tremendous knowledge of our industry and a real passion for our sports. He is a true believer in our cause."
NSSF's Mission Statement
"Our purpose is to provide trusted leadership in addressing industry challenges and in delivering programs and services to meet the identified needs of our members."

Are You Feeling Better About Dante's Redesign?
When the new Devil May Cry was revealed back in 2010, the Internet was not happy. Message boards were upset that a younger Dante didn't have white hair, and that he looked like he listened to Dashboard Confessional.
A little over two years later, after lots of gameplay footage and trailers, the Internet seems to have cooled down a little bit. The game is set for release in about one week, and we want to know: are you still upset about the redesign?
Personally, after playing through Devil May Cry 4, I felt the series need a powerful shake-up, and being the big Heavenly Sword and Enslaved fan that I am, I was excited to see Ninja Theory taking on the challenge. I was happy to see the developer known for character development take Dante and make him their own. I could sympathize with the people who weren't happy seeing their favorite video game character with a new distinctive look, but it was definitely time for something new to happen to the series. How about you?

Hipparchus is an ancient crater that has been subject to considerable modification due to subsequent impacts. The western rim of Hipparchus has been all but worn away from impact erosion, and only low hills and rises in the surface remain to outline the feature. The wall to the east is somewhat more intact, but it too is heavily worn. A pair of deep clefts lie in the western wall. These parallel a sets of scars running through the south-central highlands.
Gaps in the northwest rim of Hipparchus form valleys that connect with the mare to the northwest. A rille named Rima Réaumur runs from this site to the outer wall of Réaumur.

Feast of the Sacrifice at PWS
Home > Education > Feast of the Sacrifice at PWS
Students at the PWS continued their celebrations from the picnic at the Pearl Centre by making the symbolic lamb in respect to the Feast of the Sacrifice.
The students enjoyed a great time with the toys and candy full of party bags they had received before commencing on their Cultural Studies Lesson, which was based around 'Kurban' meaning 'Sacrificial'. The class was not only entertaining but also very informative. While they were having fun making their little lambs, the kids were told the story behind the hardships Prophet Adem and Ibrahim had to go through with their children.
What does Feast of the Sacrifice mean?
Eid al-Adha, also called Feast of the Sacrifice is an important religious holiday celebrated by Muslims worldwide to honour the willingness of the prophet ʾIbrāhīm (Abraham) to sacrifice his young first-born son Ismā''il as an act of submission to God's command and his son's acceptance to being sacrificed, before God intervened to provide Abraham with a ram to sacrifice instead. It lasts for four days.

Right, HPE. You've eaten your hyperconverged Simplivity breakfast. Will it blend?
Yeah, that might be because HPe don't want to deal with HCI. What sort of answer is the need for HCIA would go away?
ermmmm, same old same old, please buy the same old HPe same old willya....!!
You might notice that HP Inc (PCs, printers and such) and HP Enterprise are two fully separated entities these days.
The article talks about solutions provided (not necessarily invented) by HPE.
guy heading up the HCI team who spoke to us at HPE Bristol was Ex-Lefthand!
"....We talked to Paul Miller, VP of marketing...."
Stopped reading at that point - it's never worth asking a marketing droid about any tech, not unless you're looking for something to perk up your rosebushes. Always, always, always corner one of their techies, far from the protections of his/her sales team or marketing interference, and talk tech to them - you'll learn more in five minutes than you will from five weeks of marketing male bovine manure.
Is it just me, or did the "Will it Blend?" theme start playing when I opened up this article?

TSFA or RRSP – Better Place to Stash Cash in 2023?
If a recession hits us hard in 2023, you'll want the ability to take out cash if you need it. But if you don't, here's what I'd do.
These 2 Canadian Dividend Stocks are a Retiree's Best Friend - January 23, 2023
Here's the Next TSX Stock I'm Going to Buy - January 23, 2023
2 Top TSX Dividend Stocks to Buy in January 2023 - January 22, 2023
| More on: CM
This next year could be a doozy for investors. We've already gone through a rough 2022, and now we're entering 2023 and it promises to be just as, if not more, difficult. There is bound to be a recession in the first half of the year. And even if it's a mild one, it's a recession nonetheless.
Therefore, many investors might be trying to figure out what they should do to keep their cash safe. Should they keep it in cash? Put it in their Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA)? What about their Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP)?
Today, let's answer that question and provide some opportunities to create growth in 2023, and beyond.
Cash?
Honestly, if there's one thing that analysts, economists, and financial institutions all keep saying, it's don't sell everything to take out the cash. The market will recover, and in Canada we're not looking like the Great Depression of 1929 when banks collapsed.
Instead, Canadian banks have done well even during the Great Recession of 2008. That's because they put aside provisions for loan losses to prevent those incredible downturns. So you can keep your cash stored safely without worrying that suddenly you'll lose it all.
This goes for your investments as well. If you've invested wisely, even relatively so, then you're more than likely going to see your shares climb back to pre-fall prices in a year or so. And given you should be investing long-term, that's not long at all in the grand scheme of things.
TFSA or RRSP?
Now, where should your investments be kept during a recession? While it's nice to say that you can put your cash aside and forget it, life happens. The next year could be filled with layoffs, some of which have already happened in riskier sectors such as the tech sector.
In that case, you probably don't want to make your RRSP your first priority during a recession. I'm not saying you shouldn't invest in your RRSP, it's a great tool to bring down your net income at tax time! I'm merely saying that if you want cash readily available in case of an emergency, your TFSA is the way to go.
While you invest, I would consider buying up Canadian banks that offer high dividends to create more income for an emergency scenario. In this case, Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (TSX:CM) is a great option.
Why CIBC
CIBC stock is a Big Six Bank with those provisions for loan losses I talked about. What's more, it's made some great changes in the last year. With more focus on its customer service, a new brand, and a stock split, it's created a lot of buzz.
But the buzz is worth it these days. Shares of CIBC stock trade at a valuable 8.2 times earnings as of writing. You can therefore lock up a 6.16% dividend yield at the time of writing this article. That's while shares are down 23% year to date!
Should shares of CIBC stock then climb back to 52-week highs, that's a potential upside of 56% as of writing! So you'll end off the year with more returns, as well as a strong amount of passive income.
If you're looking for cash in 2023, as well as a safe way to store it, I would stash it in your TFSA. Worst case scenario, you can always take it out if you need it. Best case, you let it grow, reinvesting your CIBC passive income as you watch your returns rise higher and higher.

If you decided to install tinted film on your home's windows, then it's important you know how to care for it. Window tinting that is properly cared for will look wonderful and last for many years. To properly care for your newly tinted windows, follow each of these post-installation care tips.
The tinted film installed on your home's windows needs plenty of time to dry and cure. Until it has cured, it may look cloudy or you may see small bubbles of water on the surface of the glass underneath it. This is completely normal and expected.
Windows that are tinted in the hot summer months or those with a lot of direct sunlight should cure in about a week. However, windows tinted during colder weather or not in direct sunlight can take up to a couple months to fully cure.
Never apply any heat in an effort to speed up the curing process because this will damage the tinting film. Simply let the film cure and don't touch it until the windows are clear to see through again.
To avoid damage, only clean tinted windows with ammonia-free, foam-style cleaners. This type of cleaner will have fewer problems with streaks and is safe for use on tinted windows.
Additionally, never use a natural-bristle or plastic-bristle brush on window tint.
If someone tapes a holiday decoration to one of your windows, then you need to take care when removing the tape from the window. Remove the tape slowly and carefully. If there is any adhesive left behind, then you can remove it by gently scrubbing it with a soft cloth dipped in mineral spirits.
Finally, if something comes into contact with the window tinting film and scratches or chips it, then there isn't anything you can do to repair it. However, if you call a local glass contractor, then they can come out and replace the damaged section of the film with one that matches all the other windows.

A man fatally shot a teenager in Oregon for playing loud music Thanksgiving week, police say
A man in Oregon fatally shot a teenager Thanksgiving week after getting upset that the 19-year-old was playing music loudly in the parking lot of an inn that the two were staying at, police said.
Robert Paul Keegan, 47, shot Aidan Ellison on Monday at the Stratford Inn in Ashland after the pair got into an argument over Ellison playing loud music, Ashland Police Chief Tighe O'Meara told CNN.
Around 4:20 a.m. during their argument, Keegan pulled a gun from his coat and fired a single shot, striking Ellison in the chest, police said. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
"The blame for the incident is entirely on Robert Keegan, he is 100% responsible for it," O'Meara said. "He's the one who chose to bring a gun into the situation."
Keegan was arraigned on November 24 and indicted for charges including second degree murder, first degree manslaughter, unlawful possession of a firearm, and recklessly endangering another person.
He pleaded not guilty to all four charges on Friday. He is currently being held in the Jackson County Jail without bail and is set to appear in court on February 21, 2021.
Keegan's lawyer did not respond to CNN's request for comment.
Keegan was staying at the inn because he was among those displaced by the Almeda Drive wildfire, which killed two people and tore through hundreds of homes, according to O'Meara.
His 3-year-old son was in their hotel room at the time of the shooting and was handed over to his grandparents when his father was arrested, O'Meara said.
The killing of Ellison, a Black man, resulted in collective mourning from his community alongside calls against racism, which O'Meara said was "valid."
"I understand that there are legitimate tensions surrounding matters of violence against people of color in the US, and this situation speaks directly to that," O'Meara said.
"I want to do whatever I can with the police department to navigate our marginalized community member relationships and find a way through this."

Message from Pastor Stanton for July 2018
I remember learning in high school about John D. Rockefeller and how he created a monopoly in the oil business through "vertical integration." Vertical integration is one of those phrases you have to learn for a vocabulary test and then never have to know again, but I think it's worth knowing about as we think about where our church has been and where we're trying to go.
"Thriving churches in 2018 build and maintain robust partnerships. First Lutheran has been developing partnerships for many years."
By 1911, Standard Oil controlled 85% of the US Oil industry. Notice: Standard didn't own 85% of just the oil, but the whole industry… mineral rights, pipelines, refineries, gas stations and every other part of the industry from the beginning of production to the moment a consumer made a purchase. By owning every part of the business, Rockefeller could control supply, driving up demand whenever he felt like it. By being so large, he could squeeze out competition and become "too large to fail" (to use a 21st century term).
There was a time not so long ago when individual churches tried to behave like a vertically integrated monopoly, becoming so large and independent that they wouldn't need anyone else. Dominate the "religious marketplace" and squeeze out the 'competition' as though churches are playing a zero sum game. In this model, 'membership' at a church meant you never stepped foot in another church building… unless it was for a funeral or a wedding (maybe).
The religious world has changed a lot in the last 20 years, though. Although still important, the building and the programs have waned in importance. Generation X, Y, millenials and Generation Z don't care about the denomination name or doctrine as much as how a church's beliefs shape their actions. Who do you welcome? Who do you serve? Who gets to lead? How can I contribute?
"Through many partnerships, our work extends into places of need locally, regionally and globally. "
Providing opportunities for hundreds of people to serve, lead or contribute their gifts is a challenge. And to do so, thriving churches in 2018 build and maintain robust partnerships. First Lutheran has been developing partnerships for many years. The most obvious and longstanding is the place we have within the La Crosse Area Synod of the ELCA. Nearly 10% of First Lutheran receipts are passed on to the work of our synod, which passes on 50% of its receipts to the Churchwide Unit of the ELCA. These are monies that support Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Services (for almost 80 years!), Lutheran Disaster Response, seminaries, missionaries and so much more. But just in the last 10-15 years, First's role within our synod has changed as we have claimed stronger partnership with our local Campus Ministry that serves UW-L, Viterbo and Western. We are also more closely tied to Sugar Creek Bible Camp and Lutheran Social Services. Serving college kids, summer campers and those who are most vulnerable has always been important to First Lutheran. But in the last decade or so, we have increased our giving and presence within these ministries.
At our annual synod assembly in June our synod formally established a companion relationship with the Evangelical Church of Czech Brethren, which is in addition to the companion relationship we already have with the Lutheran Church of Peru and the domestic companions we share ministry with in the Southeastern synod of the ELCA, which covers Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Kentucky and Tennessee. These invaluable partnerships broaden our understanding of Christ's presence and work amongst God's people.
Our First Teen Clothes Closet has partnered locally with what is now the La Crosse Foundation for the last three years so that we can provide shoes, hygiene products and new underwear for youth who need them. We have also been collaborating in important ways with other clothes closets at Trinity on the northside and Our Savior's downtown. As our lead volunteers assess the status of our clothes closet, they have recommended (which the Vision and Leadership Team approved in June) a move: let's bring the Teen Clothes Closet to the people who need it rather than asking them to bring themselves to us. The aforementioned Trinity Lutheran has its own kids clothes closet and has the space to spare for our teen clothes as well. Building on this partnership, then, we will be using the next couple of months to relocate our Teen Clothes Closet ministry to Trinity in hopes that more teens will make use of the generosity of our members. Nothing else really will change as our members will still contribute and sort clothes, receive clients and manage the publicity. The only difference will be where it all takes place.
First Lutheran is changing lives, but not just while our members are gathered in our walls. And not just within these walls! Through many partnerships, our work extends into places of need locally, regionally and globally. We won't even attempt to create an institution that doesn't need anyone else in order to thrive. Instead, First Lutheran will stand with others who seek to "proclaim Christ through word and deed, care for others and the world God made and work for justice and peace."

In 2005, Tony Hawk's American Wasteland was released (Microsoft Xbox 360, Nintendo GameCube, Sony PlayStation 2, and others). This game was also known as THAW, and was a sequel to THUG 2.
Screenshot from Tony Hawk's American Wasteland.
The goal in story mode is to win the approval of the pros by mastering various feats and obtaining pieces from Los Angeles and the surrounding area to build a skate park, which will be called "American Wasteland."
This game is the first to allow the game to be played in one large streaming level, and the game world is much larger than any of the Hawk games that preceded it. It also features a classic mode in certain levels.
This same year, Tony Hawk's American Sk8Land, which was loosely based on THAW, was introduced to the handheld market for the Nintendo DS and Game Boy Advance. It was the first Tony Hawk game for the DS, but the sixth for the Game Boy line.
The Game Boy Advance version did not have the same graphics and capabilities of the DS version, which made good use of the dual screens. For instance, players could use the touch screen to create skateboard art.
In 2006, two more games were released: Tony Hawk's Project 8 (Microsoft Xbox, Sony PlayStation 2, Sony PlayStation Portable, and others) and Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam (Nintendo DS, Nintendo Game Boy Advance, Nintendo Wii, Sony PlayStation 2).
Project 8 featured a complete graphics overhaul with all new motion captures, lending a more realistic feel to the animation. There is one large city to skate in and all levels are interconnected, with no loading times. Another option that was added was the "nail trick," which allowed the player's feet to be zoomed in on and controlled with the analog sticks, thereby allowing new types of moves.
Another unique feature is the ability to control characters during crashes, with the goal being to injure the player as much as possible and receive a large hospital bill -- which results in cash rewards in the game.[15] Downhill Jam is a spinoff of the Hawk series and does not have a story mode. The goal is to race opponents, complete goals, and achieve high scores.
Screenshot from Tony Hawk's Proving Ground.
In 2007, Tony Hawk's Proving Ground (Nintendo DS, Nintendo Wii, Sony PlayStation 3, and others) was released and met with mixed reviews. Naturally, many felt that it did not bring anything fresh to the drawing board.
They had seen most of this before, and the similarities in the Hawk games were even more apparent after Electronic Arts released Skate (also known as skate., 2007; Microsoft Xbox 360, Sony PlayStation 3), which gave skateboarding game fans an exciting new option.
No major Hawk games were released in 2008], as Activision took a much-needed hiatus, but the company has resolved to continue on with the series under the stewardship of new developers
With aggressive new competition from the ever expanding Skate series, as well as games like Shaun White Snowboarding (Ubisoft, 2008; various platforms), whose Nintendo Wii version supports the Wii Balance Board as a controller, and Stoked (Destineer, 2009; Microsoft Xbox 360), which is an open-world snowboarding game featuring dynamic weather conditions and multiple mountains to explore, Activision will be forced to put a truly new spin on the ollies, grabs, and grinds, hopefully reinvigorating the genre once again.
Even if future Hawk games fail to make an impact, the legacy of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater is undeniable and will continue to be felt in the genre for the foreseeable future.
[15] Idol Minds' Pain (2007), a popular downloadable game for the Sony PlayStation 3, would base its entire premise around hurtling characters via catapult to inflict as much damage and bodily harm as possible.
[16] Series offshoot Tony Hawk's Motion for the Nintendo DS was released in November 2008 to critical and commercial indifference. Tony Hawk's Motion is bundled with the DS Motion Pack add-on, which is an accelerometer that allows for twisting, tilting and turning using the handheld itself, and the game, Hue Pixel Painter, where the objective is to "paint the town." Activision has promised that future Tony Hawk games will feature alternative control schemes.

A two-Test series loss has resulted in India slipping from 117 ratings points to 112, which means that they are ahead of Australia by just one rating point.
The Aussies now have a great opportunity of finishing ahead of India on the table before the April 1 cut-off date.
Australia are currently leading South Africa 1-0 in the three-Test series, and they need minimum of a draw in the series to move ahead of India. But if South Africa bounce back and win the next two Tests, then they will not only retain their pre-series rating of 133 ratings points, but Australia will also remain behind India on 110 ratings points, thereby handing Mahendra Singh Dhoni`s side second position at cut-off date.
South Africa are already guaranteed the number-one position at cut-off date, and will retain the mace and will also collect a cheque of USD 450,000. The side that finishes second will pocket USD 350,000, while USD 250,000 will go to the third-ranked team.
Meanwhile, New Zealand have gained five ratings points following their win over India. They have joined the West Indies on 87 ratings points. However, they are ranked above the West Indies when the ratings are calculated beyond the decimal point.

State Educational Finance Commission, "South Carolina's Educational Revolution: A Report of Progress in South Carolina," 1955.

The Brown v Board of Education decision caused uproar in the South. In defiance of the Supreme Court's decision, many politicians declared that school segregation would remain. Some African American parents began petitioning to enter their children into white schools. A shocked Governor Byrnes threatened to close the public schools if Black students attended white schools. As the dust settled from the decision, Governor Byrnes directed the school equalization program to continue. To justify continuing to build more Black schools, the State Educational Finance Commission, the agency overseeing the school construction program, stated "newer more modern buildings will tend to keep the Negro in the Negro schools."
The state's educational landscape continued to transform with new, modern schools. For the first time in South Carolina history, most public Black schools had cafeterias, libraries, running water, and gymnasiums. Students no longer had to draw water from a well, go to the bathroom in an outhouse behind the school, or carry their own wood to heat their school. The buildings themselves were in place.

However, while the state provided new school buildings, racism still governed decisions made at the local level. School boards across the state did not order new school furniture, leaving Black students in a new school with no desks. The science labs had outdated, broken equipment, often hand-me-downs from white schools, without enough for all students. W. Gresham Meggett High School on James Island had a new football field, but there were no lights for evening practices or games. School district officials stocked the shelves of new school libraries at African American schools with torn and discarded books from the white schools. Therefore, the buildings stood as a hollow gesture from the state that separate but equal had been achieved.
Despite state politicians' best efforts, the equalization program did not prevent African American parents from attempting to desegregate the state's schools after the Brown decision. Petitions came from Black parents in Charleston, Greenville, and Florence requesting their school districts admit their children into the local white schools. All were ignored. The parents looking to enroll their students in white schools suffered. Like the parents who signed the NAACP petition in Summerton, many lost their jobs once their employers discovered their attempts to desegregate local schools. Others lost their homes, as landlords evicted renters and banks called mortgages due. Back in Summerton, the reprisals against Briggs petitioners continued. Black Summerton farmers found that no one would buy their crops. For a second time, whites used arson as an intimidation tactic in an attempt to suppress civil rights activism. In 1955, an arsonist set fire to Reverend J.A. DeLaine's new church in Lake City, South Carolina. Angry, armed white men finally chased DeLaine out of the state shortly after the church fire. Harry Briggs, who had been unemployed since 1949 finally left South Carolina for Florida in 1957 to find work.

In addition to using violence to maintain segregation, white South Carolinians also continued to fight to keep funding away from African American schools and in the pockets of white schools. Politicians regularly spoke about the success of equalization, but where funding actually went reinforced South Carolina's racially discriminatory practices. In 1955, new South Carolina governor George Bell Timmerman said the state made great progress toward equalization. Over 700 school building projects were underway. Children attended school in 2,500 new classrooms. The state spent almost $150 million on schools, with $81.5 million of this going to African American schools. By 1957, South Carolina had 145 Black high schools, compared to only 80 in 1951. However, as the school funding program continued throughout the 1950s, more and more of the money went to building new white schools instead of Black schools. Politicians bragged about the progress. Despite the Supreme Court ruling segregation unconstitutional, South Carolina's public schools remained firmly segregated and unequally funded at the beginning of the 1960s.
While the state provided new school buildings, racism still governed decisions made at the local level. School boards across the state did not order new school furniture, leaving Black students in a new school with no desks. The science labs had outdated, broken equipment, usually hand-me-downs from white schools, without enough for all students. W. Gresham Meggett High School on James Island had a new football field, but there were no lights for evening practices or games.

Citizen of the Month
Become a Rotarian
Rotary is a leadership organization. We're made up of local business, professional and civic leaders .We meet regularly, get to know each other, form friendships, and through that, we're able to get things done in this community.
There are over 33,000 Rotary clubs in more than 200 countries and geographical areas. The members of these autonomous clubs are called Rotarians, and they form a global network of 1.2 million business and professional leaders, all volunteering their time and talents to serve their communities and the world. Individual Rotary clubs, in turn, belong to the global association called Rotary International.
How Do I Become a Member of Rotary?
If you're interested in joining a local Rotary club, fill out our contact form, though individuals must be sponsored or proposed for membership into a club. Rotary International staff will process your information and forward it to local Rotary club leaders. You can also contact a local Rotary club directly. Often, a person being considered for membership is invited by a club member, or sponsor, to attend one or more club meetings to learn more about Rotary. In this case, the sponsor submits the candidate's name to the club's membership committee. To get started with Rotary, begin by reaching out to a club.
Please note that membership in a Rotary club is by invitation only...What are the qualifications for membership?
Prospective Members Must:
Hold (or be retired from) a professional, proprietary, executive, managerial, or community position
Have demonstrated a commitment to service through personal involvement
Be able to meet the club's weekly attendance or community project participation requirements
Live or work within the vicinity of the club or surrounding area
What Are the Responsibilities of Membership?
Members are expected to attend weekly club meetings. They must pay annual dues to their clubs, their Rotary district, and Rotary International, and they're expected to participate in local or international Rotary club activities or projects. Clubs encourage members to aspire to club leadership or committee roles.
What Are the Attendance Requirements?
An attendance record of 50 percent is required to remain an active Rotarian. Any missed meeting must be made up within 14 days before or after the regular meeting. To accommodate busy schedules, there are various opportunities to make up missed meetings.
How Much Are Dues to Rotary International?
Although we don't collect information on individual club fees, it's entirely appropriate to ask about the cost of membership. If you're interested in joining a particular club, attend a weekly meeting and ask this question.
What is the Minimum Age to be in Rotary?
There is no minimum age to join Rotary. You may be invited to join at any age after you become established in a career and have the time and financial resources to meet all Rotary club membership requirements. If you're interested in joining a Rotary club, ask members about the time and financial commitments necessary to fulfill membership requirements, and consider whether you can make those commitments.
Are College Students Eligible for Membership?
No. Rotarians have achieved a level of career experience that enables them to bring a specialization to their club, and students haven't yet reached a level in their professional and personal lives that allows them to fulfill all aspects of Rotary club membership. But undergraduate and graduate students, as well as young adults, may become members of Rotaract clubs.
Is There a Way for High School Students to Get Involved?
Yes. Interact is a Rotary-sponsored service club for those ages 12 to 18. Interact clubs give young people an opportunity to participate in fun, meaningful service projects while developing leadership skills and meeting new friends.
How Do I Locate a Club in My Area?
You can search where all our district clubs meet or search all clubs to find one near you.
Where Do I Find a List of Rotary Classifications?
Because of the ever-changing landscape of professional work and the unique commercial environments in which Rotary clubs are located, Rotary no longer keeps a standard list of classifications on file. Clubs are encouraged to create their own classification lists by using their local phone books, chambers of commerce, or other business directories. Classifications aren't rigid and can reflect the many types of professions and positions that exist in particular industries. The law classification, for example, can be broken down into criminal law, tax law, intellectual property law, and other fields.
If I'm Not a Rotary Club Member, Can I Still Help Out with Service Projects?
Yes! You can offer to assist any Rotary club with its local service projects.
Rotary has more than 33,000 Rotary clubs worldwide. There are more than 1.2 million Rotarians worldwide! Contact us and become a member today!

U.S. evacuates China consulate staffers as illness mystery deepens
The same concussion-like symptoms that hit staffers at the U.S. Embassy in Cuba have been reported at the consulate in Guangzhou.
The U.S. consulate in Guangzhou, China.U.S. State Department
June 7, 2018, 4:11 AM UTC / Updated June 7, 2018, 12:39 PM UTC
By Alex Johnson
The United States has evacuated some Americans from its consulate in the Chinese city of Guangzhou after an employee was confirmed to be suffering symptoms consistent with the mysterious illness that led to the removal of more than half of the U.S. Embassy staff in Cuba, the State Department said Wednesday.
Heather Nauert, the State Department's spokeswoman, said "several" consulate employees had returned to the United States from China for further evaluation after they were screened as part of a task force Secretary of State Mike Pompeo created last month. The force is investigating reports of hearing, vision, balance and memory damage.
The medical screenings in China are continuing, Nauert said. There are about 170 U.S. diplomats or employees and their families in Guangzhou.
FROM OCTOBER 2017: New audio reveals what diplomats allegedly heard in Cuba 'sonic attack'
Oct. 13, 201701:59
The State Department said in a health alert last month that the employee in Guangzhou reported "subtle and vague, but abnormal, sensations of sound and pressure" that had no immediate explanation. Pompeo said then that the employee's symptoms were eerily similar to those reported by the Cuban embassy staff.
Doctors said in February that the symptoms among some 24 Havana embassy staffers were similar to those caused by concussions — headaches, balance problems, sleep disturbances and visual and hearing difficulties.

U.S. experts have said they know of no technology that would explain the symptoms. But President Donald Trump and other U.S. officials have accused Cuba of having targeted U.S. personnel with some kind of "acoustic sonic weapon" for unknown reasons, an allegation the Cuban government has forcefully denied.
The State Department responded by pulling 60 percent of its workers out of the Havana embassy in early October and expelled two-thirds of Cuba's staff in Washington.

Royals' Perez, Mondesi ready to build on healthy 2020 sprint

Salvador Perez and Adalberto Mondesi each arrived at spring training a year ago after significant surgeries, and they spent the time leading up to the COVID-19 pause wondering whether they would be ready for opening day.
There's no such trepidation this year.
Perez, who missed all of 2019 following Tommy John surgery, and Mondesi, whose season ended with shoulder surgery, took advantage of the break between the original spring training and spring training 2.0 — when baseball resumed a ramp up for a season unlike any other. They were fully healed by the time July rolled around, and each took advantage of the health they were finally afforded by putting together standout 60-game sprints.
Perez led all catchers with a .333 average, hitting 11 homers and driving in 32 runs while winning his third Silver Slugger award. Mondesi hit .356 with six homers and 20 RBIs over for the final month of the pandemic-shortened season.
Now, the Royals' longtime catcher and standout shortstop are optimistic they can carry that into a full 162-game season.
"I think for this team, we just want to win, you know?" said the 30-year-old Perez, who signed with Kansas City as a 16-year-old out of Venezuela and is entering the final year of the $52.5 million, six-year contract he signed in March 2016.
"We're going to compete," he said. "They brought in some great players, players with a lot of experience in the big leagues, and playoffs, too. We just want to win. We're a good team, we're going to prepare ourselves to be ready every day, play our best and see what happens end of the day."
While his arm wasn't an issue after Tommy John surgery, Perez still had had to overcome some adversity once spring training resumed last summer. He was sidelined for part of camp after contracting COVID-19, then he had an issue with his eye that led to some blurry vision and limited him to 37 games during the season.
The six-time All-Star said those issues also are in the past.
In fact, Perez has been bouncing around the campus in Surprise, Arizona, like youngster during the first week of full-squad workouts and leading up to their spring training opener against the Rangers this weekend. He is often among the first in the batting cages, and manager Mike Matheny has held him up as the standard for the rest of the team.
"Salvy is my go-to example," he said. "You throw him in the cage at 8 o'clock in the morning and he's verbally telling them, 'You're going to have to outwork me to take my job, and it's not your job yet,' and then he physically outworks them and proves it, and that's him every day. 'This is my job. I'm going to keep pushing.'
"When you have your very best players leading like that, it creates that competition that makes everyone better," Matheny said. "It makes Salvy better, it makes everyone else better, because everyone else is watching."
That includes Mondesi, the 25-year-old whiz who has yet to fully realize his potential. He was headed for a breakout year in 2019 when the shoulder injury put him on the shelf, and he has still yet to play more than 103 games in a season.
But after a slow start last season, Mondesi showed over the final month that he can provide an offensive spark along with his slick defense. He hit all of his homers and drove in all but two of his runs down the stretch, and a solid offseason has the Royals believing that he will capitalize on the momentum that he established in September.
"As good of a representation of talent as I've ever seen in baseball, period," Matheny said. "We know that there's something there, to take one step closer towards consistency. That's what we're looking for: How can we help him get into a place that takes a step toward doing what we know he can do a little more often than what he's done it?'"
That's a question the Royals — as a team — are hoping to answer after edging closer to .500 by the end of last season.
Healthy versions of Perez and Mondesi could provide an answer.
