The South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) has granted emergency approval for the installation of temporary traffic signals near two Fort Mill schools: Catawba Ridge High School and Doby's Bridge Elementary School as reported by Queen City News. The decision comes after the private company supplying crossing guards notified the district it would cease directing traffic, creating an urgent safety issue.

Local and state leaders quickly collaborated to streamline the approval process to address the severe traffic concerns on the public roads surrounding the schools. Fort Mill schools temporarily hired off-duty police officers to manage traffic in the interim.

If you feel like the digital ground is shaking beneath our collective feet, you’re not alone. In my corner of the cyber world, the last couple of weeks have felt less like gentle cloud computing and more like a high-altitude game of infrastructure Jenga.

The internet has coughed twice recently, and both times, the source of the ailment was disturbingly similar.

First, we watched as the Amazon Web Services (AWS) US-EAST-1 region suffered a major disruption—a single point of failure rooted, ironically, in a basic mechanism: a DNS resolution failure for the critical DynamoDB service. The blast radius was global, reminding us just how much of the world's application and identity backbone rests on a single region of a single vendor.

The Nine-Day Warning

But here is the truly concerning part: just nine days later, the entire cycle repeated itself.

This time, the culprit was Microsoft Azure. A massive, widespread outage crippled Azure Portal access and dragged a host of vital services down with it. Users lost access to essentials like Microsoft 365, Teams, Outlook, and OneDrive, disrupting workflows for companies large and small. Even consumer services like Minecraft and Xbox were affected. The severity was so high that reputable outlets were calling it what it was: an outage "breaking the internet."

(Press Release) Governor Henry McMaster today announced the activation of the Central Carolina Community Foundation's One SC Fund and directed the South Carolina State Guard (SCSG) to assist food banks statewide in response to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) announcement that federal funding for SNAP benefits (food stamps) will be halted beginning November 1, 2025, due to the ongoing federal government shutdown.

In 2007, Tom and Betty Anderson and a group of Tega Cay friends headed to the Anderson’s 2nd home in Pinehurst, North Carolina. There, they were introduced to Golf Croquet by Gene Young (a Member of the Croquet Hall of Fame). The Andersons became so enamored with croquet, they decided to form a croquet club when they got back to Tega Cay. There wasn’t a croquet LAWN in Tega Cay, so the group set up wickets on a soccer field under the power lines, near hole 5 of the Grandview course.

Tom Anderson wanted to fulfil the second part of his dream—to have an authentic full-sized croquet lawn. True croquet lawns are very large at 84 x 105 feet, and are generally level within 2 inches. Through bold determination and networking, Tom and his croquet friends were able to finance and have a real croquet lawn installed. Finally, the court was opened in September of 2010.

COLUMBIA, S.C. — The South Carolina Department of Public Health (DPH) is adding eight new confirmed cases of measles in Spartanburg County since Friday, bringing the total number of cases in South Carolina this year to 33 and the total number of cases in the current Upstate outbreak to 30.

All eight new cases were linked to close contacts of known cases who had been quarantining at home.

The successful early quarantining as a result of the identified exposure is a positive public health outcome that shows how rapid containment efforts – quarantining if exposed – is highly effective in preventing community spread.
In response to the ongoing measles outbreak, the South Carolina Department of Public Health (DPH) has activated a Mobile Health Unit to deploy to the following locations this coming week to offer measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine to unvaccinated individuals at no cost.

State Representative Jermaine Johnson officially launched his campaign for South Carolina governor today, formally entering the 2026 Democratic primary after months of exploration. The state lawmaker is scheduled to make his bid official during an evening event on the steps of the Statehouse.

Johnson, who first formed an exploratory committee in May, has positioned himself as a "different kind of Democrat." He highlighted this theme in a launch video, referencing his successful 2020 primary defeat of a longtime incumbent in House District 80. Since his election, Johnson has become a notable voice within the state's Democratic coalition, frequently using his personal experiences to inform his legislative arguments.
