ECR4Kids Colorful Essentials™ Book Display with Storage - 6 Compartment
Gagandeep from Brampton, ON– Verified Buyer
This unit is great for any kids room...bedroom or playroom with plenty of room for books and storage. There were a few damaged pieces when it arrived. However, I had no issues getting a replacement unit. Easy to assemble and looks great. There's plenty of room for all my son's books. It's really handy as he's able to see the cover of the book and take out the one he wants to read instead of making a mess of them trying to find his book. Overall, a great purchase and well worth the money.

Priya from Chicago, IL– Verified Buyer
Bought this for use in a pediatric office. It's a great way for kids to access books themselves and the piece is heavy and very sturdy. Easy to put together but took about 30-40 minutes. My only complaint is that the laminate chips easily.
AWESOME book display
Michael from United States– Verified Buyer
Before we got this book display I had such a hard time getting my girls to read books... As soon as they were able to see the fronts of the books using this display they were instantly more interested. It's such a blessing and keeps things organized. For the price especially, WE LOVE this thing.

This is a great piece. A little difficult to put together but this is a solid piece of furniture and also looks great.
good bookcase and storage
Sarah from Lees Summit, MO– Verified Buyer
This is great and very sturdy. Perfect for books and also games, puzzles, etc. on the bottom. Only two complaints: 1- one of the boards was slightly damaged on the corner. But, it is on the back side, so you can't really see it, so we just kept it as is. 2 - my husband put it together and said the directions were not very clear, so it took a while to get it put together. Otherwise, it's a great product.
I would buy this product again
Yamilet from Bronx, New York
For anyone looking for a sturdy, great looking bookshelf, this is it! I love that it is strong and long. My children have at least 100 books of all sizes and shapes and I was looking for a long- lasting, long (because I didn't want a double-sided bookshelf), cute bookshelf to help me organize them and I found it. I love the fact that is has cubbies that allows my children to put their little things in and have everything in one place. The only reason I don't give it 5 stars is because it came with a crack on it but it was probably done during transportation.
Combining their responsibility to the community and their desire to be environmentally conscious, they have a program to reduce (or better yet, re-use) what they would normally dispose of... Early Childhood Resources has eliminated almost all of their cardboard waste by implementing commercial cardboard shredding equipment in its facilities to convert cardboard destined for the landfill into some of the best packing material available.
Competition typically demands lower costs and with it, labor intense jobs are being exported faster and faster every year. Early Childhood Resources, being committed to "Maximum Value," balances the demands from the marketplace with the practicality and social values of finding ways to maximize the capabilities of those in our community with developmental disabilities, and want to work! The program provides a stimulating and developmentally enriching environment. These individuals gain valuable social and work skills while earning competitive wages, and creating "Maximum Value" in their products.

Curators' Tour of The World at War, 1914–1918 TOUR THURSDAY, JULY 24, 7 P.M.
Join exhibition co-curators Jean M. Cannon and Elizabeth L. Garver for a tour of The World at War, 1914–1918 on Thursday, July 24, at 7 p.m.
This exhibition marks the centenary of the start of World War I, a war that lasted four long years and killed ten million servicemen. The geo-political causes, the war's global expansion, and the outcomes of the war are well documented. The collective personal and national trauma inflicted on all who experienced the war, however, remains relevant for a contemporary world still embroiled in conflict.
Drawing on the Ransom Center's extensive collections, this exhibition illuminates the experience of the war from the point of view of its participants and observers, preserved through letters, drafts, and diaries; memoirs and novels; and photographs and propaganda posters. Visitors will have the opportunity to better understand the history of the war through the archives of those who witnessed it first-hand. The exhibition is on view through August 3, and the exhibition catalog and exhibition postcards will be on sale at the tour.
The tour is free and open to the public, but donations are welcome. If you cannot attend the curator's tour, docent-led tours of the exhibition are offered Tuesdays at noon, Thursdays at 6 p.m., and Saturdays and Sundays at 2 p.m.
Attendees will have the opportunity to win a signed copy of Geoff Dyer's The Missing of the Somme, a copy of Barbara Tuchman's The Guns of August, and a set of exhibition postcards.

Standing in teams, Hinds County deputies, ATF agents and U.S. Marshal's received their assignments in a church parking lot Friday night on California Avenue.
It marked the beginning of a two week crackdown on crime in northwest Jackson.
Working out of a mobile command center, the more than 50 law enforcement officers began the operation several days in advance.
It didn't take long Friday night before the first bust was made on Brown Street.
"What you're smelling Joe is a new generation of marijuana. It's called Hydro," Sheriff Tyrone Lewis explained when WLBT's Joe Barnes asked about a strong odor in the area.
Hydroponic weed is more potent and more expensive.
"You're looking at about $9,000 worth of drugs over there. On top of that we were able to take another gun off the street," explained Hinds County Chief Deputy Chris Picou.
At the scene, deputies say they seized $6,000 and Mario Jointer's vehicle. He was led away in handcuffs.
It was the first bust and first day on the job for new employee Liberty, a drug sniffing dog, who Lewis was quick to give credit to.
Deputies then moved on to other neighborhoods, while others manned DUI checkpoints.
While there law enforcement were also checking for criminals wanted on outstanding warrants.
The sheriff's department set up on one street for a while, before moving on to another.
The goal is to keep criminals guessing where law enforcement will show up next.
"We intend to stop everything that's moving, walking, crawling that looks suspicious in this particular community," explained Lewis.
The first term sheriff says deputies will do an assessment in two weeks to determine if the department will stay in the neighborhood or if it will move to another location in Hinds County.

Fizik 2mm superlight bar tape offers 27 different colours options, which should suit everyone
Product Overview
- Easy to fit
- Decent grip
- Harsh to hands
Product:Fizik Superlight bar tape
Price as reviewed:£13.99
Listed as just 2mm thick, Fizik's Superlight bar tape is made from MicroTex and manages to combine being incredibly thin with enough flexibility to give a good fit.
Unlike a few other lightweight alternatives, it doesn't feel like you're going to snap it while fitting, which in turn means you can get enough force to make those crucial corners without leaving edges that pick up or snag.
With 27 different options — most of which match the company's saddles — there should be something for everyone.
A thinner tape you'll struggle to find and from our experience it's possible to get a very tidy finish.
The white without logo version offers plenty of friction for decent grip with gloves but if you prefer your summer rides glove-free, you may want to think twice as this tape really isn't too kind to bare skin.

By Juliana Menasce Horowitz, Special to CNN
Editor's note: Juliana Menasce Horowitz is a senior researcher at the Pew Research Center. The views expressed are her own.
When U.S. President Barack Obama travels to Mexico this week, he will encounter a Mexican public that has far more positive attitudes about the United States than at any time in the last several years.
America's image south of the border fell sharply in 2010, when Arizona passed a "show me your papers" law aimed at identifying, prosecuting and deporting immigrants who are in the U.S. illegally. But Mexican views have rebounded since then, and U.S. favorability ratings are now at their highest point since 2009. The prospects for U.S. immigration reform may be, at least in part, the source of renewed Mexican approval of their neighbor to the north.
A new Pew Research Center poll found that 66 percent of Mexicans have a favorable opinion of the U.S., up 10 percentage points from a year ago and up 22 points from May 2010, immediately following the enactment of Arizona's immigration law. The last time America's image was as strong among Mexicans was in 2009, when 69 percent said they had a favorable opinion.
Opinions of Obama, though more positive than in 2012, are still mixed – 49 percent express confidence in the American president, while 39 percent have little or no confidence in him, compared with a year ago, when 42 percent of Mexicans said they had confidence in Obama and 46 percent said they did not.
This boost in America's image comes amidst rising expectations that Washington may soon reform U.S. immigration laws.
More than 11 million native-born Mexicans live in the U.S., including about 6 million who are in the country illegally – by far the largest segment of the undocumented population, according to estimates by the Pew Research Center. In June 2012, Obama authorized the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, giving more than one million undocumented immigrants who were brought to the U.S. as children the chance to apply for temporary but renewable work permits and avoid deportation. It is estimated that 70 percent of those eligible for the program are from Mexico.
Obama carried the Latino vote by 71 percent to 27 percent in his 2012 reelection victory. Since then, the president and a bipartisan group of U.S. Senators have been working on legislation that would remove the risk of deportation and open a pathway to citizenship for immigrants who are in the U.S. illegally. These legislative developments have been followed closely by the Spanish-language media.
But this resurgence in goodwill for America coexists with continued skepticism about Uncle Sam's intentions and influence in Mexico. And Obama himself, although now more popular than a year ago, receives only lukewarm ratings there. The president's trip, which is being billed by the White House as an "opportunity to reinforce the deep cultural, familial and economic ties that so many Americans share with Mexico and Central America," is also a chance for Obama to improve his own image on several key issues regarding the U.S.-Mexico relationship.
One challenge will be to convince Mexicans that Washington sees them as a full partner. About half of Mexicans say their neighbor to the north takes Mexico's interests into account; 45 percent say it does not. And while the vast majority of Mexicans generally sees the benefits of strong economic ties with the U.S., their opinions are more mixed about the impact America is currently having on Mexico's economy, with 33 percent saying U.S. influence is positive and 28 percent saying it is negative.
Besides talks on economic ties and collaboration on immigration and border security, Obama is likely to hear from Mexico about the U.S. role in the country's ongoing fight against drug traffickers. Currently, 56 percent of Mexicans blame both the U.S. and their own country for the drug violence in Mexico, while one-fifth say the U.S. alone bears most of the responsibility.
Mexicans welcome their neighbor's cooperation in combating this serious problem, with about three-quarters saying they want U.S. help in training Mexican police and military to combat drug trafficking, and 55 more than half saying they approve of the U.S. providing money and weapons to their country's police and military. But they draw the line at any American boots on the ground, with 59 percent rejecting the deployment of U.S. troops to their country to fight narco-traffickers.
The drug war, immigration and the economic relationship between the U.S. and Mexico are among the items bound to be on the agenda when Obama visits Mexico this week, and Mexican opinion regarding U.S. involvement on these issues has shifted in a somewhat more positive direction in recent years. The question now is whether the two countries can build on the promise fostered by the proposed immigration policy and cement some the progress that appears to have been made.
The real history: Spain illegally claimed most of the western north America, central America and South America. The Mexican government inherited this illegal booty. The U.S. took some of it away.
The modern claims of Mexicans over what is now U.S. territory and their attempt a "moral high ground" on this issue is nonsense. In California, General Vallejo of the Mexican army wanted to break away form Mexico.
How does the Mexican government treat U.S. citizens who are in Mexico illegally? They are arrested.
One can feel pity for the downtrodden people of Mexico, but it is their own bad government that is the cause. Just a few very wealthy families, a small middle class and a huge amount of extremely poor.
Did OBAMA sign the (I-864) law for each of the 11 million illigal mexicans he sponsard for citizenship?,,Obama has to garentie each person 125 % of the yearly wage law to not be useing any goverment food stamps or services??

The Tribune-Star
TERRE HAUTE — The Chicago Tribune reported on Thursday evening that Terre Haute native Josh Phegley will be promoted from Triple-A to the Chicago White Sox.
The White Sox play at Tampa Bay on Friday. According to the report, Phegley will join the White Sox in Tampa.
Phegley — who has played for the White Sox Triple-A club at Charlotte since 2011 — was not in the Knights' lineup on Thursday when Charlotte played Gwinnett in an International League game.
According to the Tribune, Phegley's promotion is part of a move the White Sox made on Thursday when it optioned outfielder Jordan Danks to Charlotte after the White Sox defeated Baltimore 3-2.
Phegley, who is slated to play in the MLB Futures Game in New York during All-Star festivities later this month, has had a standout season.
He is currently hitting .316 at Charlotte with 15 home runs and 41 RBI in 61 games.
The White Sox have carried catchers Tyler Flowers and Hector Gimenez throughout the 2013 season, but both have struggled.
Phegley told the Tribune-Star on June 24 that he was exercising patience as he awaited his possible Major League fate.
"The White Sox are trying to develop guys to be winners, guys who know how to win games. The White Sox got off to a slow start and we got off to a slow start," Phegley said. "The way I've played so far this year has taken a lot of pressure off. I've done all I can."
Phegley is one of the most decorated players to come out of Terre Haute. He helped Terre Haute North reach a semistate in 2006 and was named Mr. Baseball the same season.
Phegley moved on and earned a rare full-ride baseball scholarship at Indiana University where he was a starter for the Hoosiers for three seasons.
Phegley was drafted in Compensation Round A of the 2009 Major League Baseball draft. He was the 38th pick overall.
Phegley's minor league career was slowed by a condition called Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Punpura (ITP), a blood platelet affliction Phegley fought through in 2010. He eventually recovered.
Phegley began to hit his stride in 2011 and he batted .266 with six home runs and 48 RBI for Charlotte.
Just as important, he began to throw out opposing baserunners at an improved rate. He threw out 46 percent in 2012 and had thrown out 41 percent in 2013.
Phegley will be the first Terre Haute native to play Major League Baseball since Brian Dorsett finished his career in 1996.
Tribune-Star reporter Andy Amey contributed to this report.

Daniel Bice, the Journal Sentinel's watchdog columnist, holds politicians and the powerful accountable
No charges for top aide to Sheriff Clarke
Milwaukee County prosecutors have opted not to bring criminal charges against one the top officials to Milwaukee County Sheriff David A. Clarke Jr. for steering county contracts to a close friend.
Assistant District Attorney Kurt Benkley said in a letter last week that Clarke's office had asked prosecutors to pursue charges against Major Nancy Evans earlier this year.
Evans has been suspended with pay since late May after she awarded three no-bid contracts worth less than $6,000 to Jevon Terry, who is described in the letter as having a "close personal friendship" with Evans.
Benkley, a member of the DA's public integrity unit, said he investigated the matter but decided not to charge Evans with misconduct in office or having a private interest in a public contract.
"The evidence does not support criminal charges," Benkley wrote in the Nov. 5 letter.
It is not clear whether Evans remains on paid suspension.
Fran McLaughlin, spokeswoman for Clarke, did not return calls or emails in recent days.
Evans, who joined the sheriff's department in 1997, was appointed by Clarke this year to command the Detention Services Bureau, the largest division within the agency. Along with the jail and correctional facility, she oversees electronic monitoring and court services.
She is paid $92,869 annually.
According to Benkley's letter, Evans hired Terry's company, Midwest Wood Flooring, to do three projects - to strip and prepare the walls the painting in two offices at the Criminal Justice Facility and to refurbish 20 conference chairs.
The contracts were for just under $2,000 each. County rules bar officials from using a purchasing card for individual transactions exceeding $2,000.
Benkley said in his letter that Evans did set up Terry's PayPal account and directed PayPal invoices to be sent to the county.
"On a gut level, Major Evans' favoring Mr. Terry with a county contract seems unethical and, hence, a violation of an official duty," Benkley wrote. But he said the county ethics code considers it a violation only if a county contract puts money in the pocket of a county worker or a relative.
"Neither Major Evans, nor her family, benefited from the contract. We can show no kickback to Major Evans," Benkley said.
In addition, Evans argued that she was not violating purchasing rules by paying for a single project in three separate financial transactions. She said these were distinctly different projects.
"Major Evans asserts her only goal was to save money for Milwaukee County," Benkley wrote. "This argument would be a compelling defense theme in a criminal trial."
Sheriff's investigators also complained that Terry's work was substandard. Benkley said this would be a civil matter, not a criminal one.

Sounds like Clarke is mad at Jevon Terry for stealing his girlfriend. Is there no end to Clarke's pettiness?
So how much money was wasted on this investigation for three contracts totaling $6000? Wow....thanks for wasting taxpayer funds...
The law being charged with anything ... course not.Hide replies
Clarke is and has been Rollo Tomasi, the one who gets away with it.
Really !! This women sat home for 8 months and got paid. It sounds like she did wrong but we just won't charge her. Doesn't the Sheriffs department have work rules. WOW taxes payers carry the load again.
Dave you are such a good judge of character. You made Major Evans in charge of everyone, and she turns out to be funneling contracts. Your former Information Officer is in prison for child molestation. Some of your Captains have criminal records...where does it end?Hide replies
As long as Clark,Belling and Sykes kiss each others butts and make the right feel good it wll never end.
First of all, don't you think the DA would have pursued this if he could have convicted someone?
Second of all, this will make Bice's ledger look more balanced since Sheriff Clark ran as a democrat.
The fact that Bice has a column in a major daily newspaper is another sign of how far the journalism in this country has sunk.
If there were paper clips missing then there would have been a John Doe investigation and it would have take 2 years to convict her. Good thing it only took 8 months to cover this one up!
The county has for many years defined "ethical" purchasing as being something that would prohibit the county worker or their relatives from profiting.
The problem is today there are less traditional families where the definition of relative hasn't reflected the times. Where is the line drawn for "relatives" at the first or second cousin, in laws or step children's families?
We also have not really defined what is meant by profiting.
As a hypothetical if some lawyer in the DAs office came by information through a criminal case that could politically advantage them to maybe get support to get a better job would that be profiting? If so at what point? Meaning such an alliance might not manifest any profit for years and could be seen as building a professional relationship or concealing evidence.
We like to think we would "know" all the relatives. I can tell you for certain the DA's own investigation in the Jane Doe case followed a line of family that was incorrect. Using electronic databases no one checked the county's own birth records. By the time the prosecutor realized the err well he wrote an unfortunate letter that isn't really as it appears. This was an offer for a much better deal, a political spiel where I would of walked. This offer followed an unfortunate loss of a warrant and other oddities all meant to give me the deal of the century. I never accepted and at least now you understand why.
Ethics is something you wear for a lifetime as Mother always said. Making the prosecutor wear those ethics is the bigger lesson.
This is a joke! This employee has been sitting home since May, with full pay and benefits, while the DA's office takes it's sweet time investigating $6K worth of work. Clarke - demote her and take away her credit card, like you did to former Lt. Willie Brown (now a sergeant again) and move on. Clarke cries about Abele cutting his budget yet he wastes probably $64K in salary alone on this mess. The private sector would never handle things so shabbily. This is downright embarassing.
Clarke does not notify the district attorney of many very probable assaults and other crimes committed in his jail.
What is the crime rate in Clarke's house? How many of his inmates caught new cases from criminal behavior in his house?
It would be exceptional if Clarke had no crime behind his bars. No major city county jail system is crime free.
We can't do much about prosecutorial discretion but we can make sure they see all the cases. Clarke not charging inmates is a security issue that creates one guy deciding what justice is. Putting people in the hole instead of charging them is not justice.Hide replies
have you ever been in the hole?

MODESTO — Lt. Scott Heller, a 17-year veteran of the Modesto Police Department, will leave next month to take a job as police chief in Placerville.
"While I'm excited to begin this new chapter in my career, it is difficult to leave the law enforcement agency I grew up in," Heller said in a news release from Modesto police. "My law enforcement career began with the Modesto Police Department on Jan. 2, 1997. I have been blessed during my tenure in service to the city of Mo-desto."
Heller has held numerous assignments with MPD, including patrol, tactical patrol unit, robbery/homicide, Stanislaus Drug Enforcement Agency Task Force sergeant, SWAT sergeant, commander of the Gang and Narcotics Units and assistant commander of the Investigative Services Division.
Heller, who has a master's degree in emergency services administration from California State University, Long Beach, and a bachelor's degree in political science from California State University, Stanislaus, served in the Air Force prior to his police career.
"Scott is a highly valued member of the Modesto Police Department command staff and will be greatly missed," Modesto Police Chief Galen Carroll said in the release. "... I am positive he will do a great job for the city of Placerville."
Heller is the second member of the department to accept a chief's position. In July, Capt. Michael Harris was named chief in Livermore.

• We hear that the talk of RB Brian Westbrook's career being over might be highly premature. Westbrook's balky left knee — and not the multiple concussions he suffered this season — reportedly is the issue that might cause him to retire, but he is not believed to have suffered any further injury to the knee this past season. Westbrook might not remain with the Eagles given their preference not to pay $7.5 million to a part-time player, which is what he would be in Philly next season if he stayed. But he is not likely to retire at this point, we hear.
• DE Osi Umenyiora has won his power struggle with the Giants with the firing of defensive coordinator Bill Sheridan and the hiring of Perry Fewell. Umenyiora, who hinted at season's end that he might be playing his final game with the team, now likely will return. He makes in the neighborhood of $3 million, and though last season was not his best, the Giants know they need to add to their front seven and not get rid of the important pieces they have.
• The Cowboys will be using a new placekicker next season after Shaun Suisham's late-season failings, but it could come from one of two interesting sources. One would be kickoff specialist David Buehler, who worked late in the season on his placekicking and will spend the offseason continuing to hone his craft. The other, believe it or not, could be Nick Folk. Although the team let him go in midseason, we hear they have not completely ruled out bringing him back, believing his problems to be more mental than physical.
• The Bears continue spinning their wheels in their search for new coordinators, but word is they are probably a lot closer to landing a new offensive coordinator to replace the fired Ron Turner than finding a new defensive coordinator. The front-runners to coordinate the offense at this writing are Bengals QB coach Ken Zampese and Chargers assistant head coach/TE coach Rob Chudzinski, whom we hear San Diego might try hard to keep.
• While our sources in Green Bay believe that John Schneider did a solid job working under GM Ted Thompson as the director of football operations, they did not consider Schneider's exit to Seattle to become the Seahawks' new GM a major loss. We hear it's possible the team might decide to not even replace Schneider, given the growing prospect of a lockout in 2011.
• We hear that Lions head coach Jim Schwartz jumped at the chance to coach the Senior Bowl, having twice been there previously with the Ravens (1998) and Titans (2006) as an assistant on those staffs. Interestingly, though, in '06 the Titans did not draft a single player from the North team they coached, selecting only DT Jesse Mahelona from the South team in the fifth round. So, for Schwartz with the Lions, the experience might be as much about finding which players not to draft as much as finding ones to select. Among the players the Titans passed on that year: Jay Cutler, who went to school at nearby Vanderbilt, instead taking Vince Young.
• Falcons TE Tony Gonzalez recently confirmed he will return to play in the 2010 season and said he was excited about the team's prospects. Sources said don't be surprised, however, if Atlanta uses a middle- to late-round draft pick on a tight end to groom as an eventual replacement for Gonzalez, who will turn 34 in February.
• Panthers RB Jonathan Stewart underwent successful surgery on his left foot Jan. 20 after playing through pain throughout the 2009 season. He had been nagged by an Achilles problem, which forced him to miss practices, but he didn't miss any games and is expected to participate in a May minicamp. The second-year veteran led Carolina in rushing with 1,133 yards this season.
• Saints ORG Jahri Evans will be a restricted free agent for the second year in a row and could be playing on another one-year tender in 2010. When asked about his future on Jan. 21, Evans said, "Everybody's focusing on this season and will approach those bridges when they come." Evans, who has started every game since he entered the league in '06, said he "most definitely" wants to return to the Saints next season.
• The Panthers drafted a would-be replacement for FB Brad Hoover in 2009 when they selected FB Tony Fiammetta in the draft's fourth round. Hoover, however, still has one year left on his deal, and the team wasn't overwhelmed with what it saw from Fiammetta during his rookie season. Observers expect Hoover to remain the starter at least for the early part of next season.
• We hear Pete Carroll was instantly impressed with Gus Bradley, who has been retained as the Seahawks' defensive coordinator. "It's the Monte Kiffin thing again," one team source said of the glowing recommendation the former Buccaneers defensive coordinator gave to Carroll on Bradley's behalf — similar to the endorsement for Bradley that Kiffin gave to Jim Mora last year. "Pete just couldn't ignore that."
• Don't expect to see WR Jerheme Urban back with the Cardinals next season. "He's done, history, out of there," said one team insider of Urban, whose costly fumble in the playoff loss in New Orleans, we hear, really stuck in head coach Ken Whisenhunt's craw.
• A real battle could be shaping up for the Rams' starting job at right guard previously held by Richie Incognito, who was released late in the season. It's a given that Mark Setterstrom and John Greco will battle for the job. "But Adam Goldberg's best position is guard," said one team insider. "It's not inconceivable that he ends up at right guard."
• Niners head coach Mike Singletary said he wasn't concerned that new special-teams coordinator Kurt Schottenheimer hasn't coached special teams since 1994. "No, not at all," he said. "Now, if he was out of football for a period of time, that would concern me, but I think a good football coach is a good football coach." We hear Singletary put major stock in endorsements from coordinators Jimmy Raye and Greg Manusky, both of whom served with Schottenheimer on the same Redskins staff in 2001.

Leslie Hoffman, the Black Elk Energy spokeswoman, said Saturday that there were still no signs of any leak or spill at the platform site.
BP's blown-out well spewed millions of gallons (liters) of oil into the sea, about 50 miles (80 kilometers) southeast of the mouth of the Mississippi River on the east side of the river delta. The crude fouled beaches, marshes and rich seafood grounds.
After Friday's blaze, 11 people were taken by helicopter to area hospitals or for treatment on shore by emergency medical workers.
The production platform is on the western side of the Mississippi River delta. The Coast Guard said more than 20 people were aboard the platform at the time of the fire.
"The company continues to cooperate closely with all state and federal agencies," company officials said in a news release Saturday. "As reported yesterday, this platform was not in operation and had been shut in since mid-August. According to visual reports from this morning, there is no visible sheen in the vicinity of the platform. "
Cubanski said the platform appeared to be structurally sound. He said only about 28 gallons (106 liters) of oil were in the broken line on the platform.
David Smith, a spokesman for the Interior Department's Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement in Washington, said an environmental enforcement team was dispatched from a Gulf Coast base by helicopter soon after the Coast Guard was notified of the emergency. Smith said the team would scan for any evidence of oil spilling and investigate the cause of the explosion.
Black Elk Energy is an independent oil and gas company. The company's website says it holds interests in properties in Texas and Louisiana waters, including 854 wells on 155 platforms.

Manchester police continue to investigate reports of explosions felt within the township's Pine Lake Park section over the past nearly two months.
"We know that they're occurring," said Capt. Lisa Parker. The cause, though, is still under investigation by detectives.
Police have received reports of 19 explosions in various locations throughout the residential area which lies between Ridgeway Boulevard and Route 37. Those incidents occurred between Aug. 17 and Oct. 4 on 14 separate days.
"They're all calling because they heard the same explosion. That's how we know we have 19 incidents on 14 separate days," Parker said.
Most explosions have been heard by residents at night and officers have never heard an explosion while on patrol, according to the captain.
"It's not happening at the same location every time," Parker said.
"They are extremely loud and cause great concern," said Monmouth Avenue resident Renee Piercy in an email to Manchester Patch. She said that she has heard blasts "numerous times."
Piercy said that in one instance, she was outside when she heard two blasts and then noticed fire in the woods. Police and fire officials responded to the scene and took her statement, she said.
No injuries have been reported as a result of the explosions, Parker said. Detectives are actively following up on leads and Parker said that anyone with information should contact the department at 732-657-2009.
Residents throughout Ocean County have felt the booming effects of exercises at the Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst range complexes, which are located between McGuire and Dix near Ocean County's border with Burlington County.
But Bill Addison, the base's media relations chief, said that from speaking with police it seems residents in Pine Lake Park are experiencing the effects of something more local.
Some on social media have speculated that aircraft testing — such as a plane breaking the sound barrier and causing a sonic boom — could be a cause of the sounds.
But that seems unlikely, as "none of the aircraft that are stationed at the installation have that capability," Addison said.

Traverse City Record-Eagle
---- — TRAVERSE CITY — Kylee Bonne "sank to the floor" after seeing a news story flash on her cellphone: A Traverse City woman died after a dark SUV or pickup truck struck her as she bicycled home from work.
"I can't stop thinking about her," Bonne said. "It brought back memories of my night ... when the truck left the roadway and veered toward me."
Bonne referred to the tragic death of Kelly Ann Boyce, 29, struck down early July 5 by a hit-and-run driver as she pedaled east on Washington Street. She rode within a foot of the curb when a dark SUV or pickup truck — traveling in the same direction — hit her.
Boyce was thrown from the bicycle and became entangled with the vehicle. It dragged her for more than a block to an alleyway on Railroad Street.
Bonne, 31, was hit by a dark SUV or pickup truck on June 28, 2012. Bonne said she spent a "great night" on a local party boat with friends and was riding home on her bright pink cruiser bike, adorned with reflectors, at about 1 a.m. She was nearly six months pregnant and hadn't been drinking alcohol.
Two years earlier, on July 5, 2010, a 39-year-old bicyclist was struck at 2:14 a.m. She was riding her bike home in the south alley of the 400 block of State Street and struck from behind by what she observed as a black, full-sized pickup truck. She suffered only minor injuries, according to police reports.
Traverse City Police Captain Brian Heffner said police aren't discounting the similarities. All three were females, bicycling home from the downtown area in the early morning at very nearly the same time of year.
All three were hit by a dark pickup or SUV that came up from behind them.
"We're trying to determine if they are all related," he said. "Obviously, we want to solve all three of them."
Heffner has also received reports from male bicyclists. Brian Beauchamp and Bill Palladino called the police tip line following Boyce's death with reports of separate run-ins last year with someone who aggressively drove a dark pickup truck last year.
Beauchamp said he was riding his bicycle on Eighth Street last summer on his way to work when a black pickup came in close behind him.
"He revved his engine behind me, came within inches of hitting me and sped off," he said. He was unable to read the license plate.
Palladino said he was walking on a sidewalk in the 500 block of Washington Street with his wife and son in March 2012 when they had another scary encounter with a black pickup.
"They clearly saw us and revved their engine as if to announce themselves," he said. "They did not stop at a stop sign as they were turning toward us. It actually hit the curb and sat there and revved the engine. It was probably about 20 feet from us."
Palladino said the truck sped off too fast for them to read the license plate, so he didn't report the incident until reading about Boyce's death and wondering about a pattern.
Bonne said she was heading south on Union Street after stopping at the House of Doggs. Someone called out, "Nice bike!" as she passed 7 Monks Taproom. A few minutes later, she noticed a truck had pulled out from Eighth Street onto Union just behind her. She decided to cross east onto Ninth Street well in advance of the truck to get home. The truck put on his blinker and followed slowly behind her as she rode on the far right side of the road. She first thought that it might be a friend. Suddenly, the truck accelerated and veered toward her.
"I know I was going to get hit, so I started jumping off my bike and jumped toward the grass. I curled into a ball and rolled onto the grass on my side, protecting my belly," said Bonne. "It happened really fast. The truck didn't slow down even when it hit me, and I couldn't see much. I remember seeing the headlights and the chrome grille and thinking, 'I can't believe this truck was hitting me right now.' I remember seeing a tire eight inches from my head. It just kept driving really fast. It sped around the corner onto Cass Street."
She suffered a black eye and a leg broken in several spots that perfectly aligned with the bike frame.
Bonne said the truck was black, shiny and new. A witness, who heard her screams described it as either an SUV or a pickup with a topper.
"When I was in the hospital, I saw a commercial for a Cadillac and saw that grille on the Escalade and it gave me chills," she said.
She said friends didn't believe her at first when she said the driver deliberately struck her.
"They thought it must have been a drunk driver," she said. "But I just knew it wasn't a drunk driver. In my opinion, everything points to someone who has some issues."
Bonne still rides her bike during the day, but never at night or alone if the city is laden with festival-goers. Her leg has healed, but she still suffers bouts of anxiety, – something new for her.
"I do pilates and yoga," she said. "I'm normally a very calm person."

Outasight - Rollin' Wit Me ft. 6th Sense
Artist: Outasight
Featuring: 6th Sense
Producer: 6th Sense
Album: Mick Boogie Presents: From There To Hear Mixtape
Avg Rating: 2.4 ( 14 total votes )
If you were one of the many to assign Outasight and 6th Sense's Booth-exclusive Rehearsal Tape freestyle a four or five-star rating, you'll be happy to hear that the dressiest emcee in the biz has rejoined forces with the NYC rapper/producer for his latest Booth feature. On this newly-released cut off Outasight's Mick Boogie-presented From There to Hear mixtape, the duo issue an ultimatum to all listening: "Either you're Rollin' Wit Me or trick you gotta go." Outasight is a little more aggressive than usual here, but he manages to talk himself up and trash the competition without abandoning his characteristically playful flow. Though 6th Sense once again whips out the jazz organ on his percussion-driven instrumental and lays down some hook vocals, he doesn't get to step into the spotlight and showcase the lyrical skills we glimpsed on his Rehearsal Tape guest verse—ah well, maybe next time. From There to Hear drops today, and fans can also look forward to a sophomore album, From Here to Eternity, sometime this year.

Love this thread, thanks for starting it TheIronLady.
Yep, Rudy & Tonya are the exceptions. On the opposite end of the spectrum would be someone like Tara Lipinski, who came from a wealthy Texas oilfield IIRC. But usually skaters fall somewhere in the middle, literally, meaning upper middle class. Nancy Kerrigan's parents were both blue collar, as were Michelle Kwan's, Johnny Weir's, Evan Lysacek, et al.
Lol still chuckling about the martinis comment, and the response.
Edmonton Journal article: Love of figure skating, hard work drives Jessica Amy Sergeant (IMO, the "average skater" in this thread should include someone who placed 16th in Senior at 2013 Canadian Nationals)
(Angela Duffy is Sergeant's coach and choreographer.)Jessica Amy Sergeant wakes up at 4:30 a.m. every day.
But the 22-year-old figure skater doesn't get ready for class or a morning run.
Instead, Sergeant heads to Starbucks at South Edmonton Common for a seven-hour shift. After work, she makes the 30-minute trek to the Londonderry arena to train until late in the afternoon. She then stays at the rink to coach young skaters until 7:30 p.m.
"Then I go home, and pretty much go to bed," Sergeant said. "I haven't had an actual day off in a long time."
For the last few years, Sergeant has been financing her own skating, with some financial assistance from her club.
Sergeant, who estimates her training expenses at $18,000 last year, spends an average of $1,200 on skates, and replaces them once or twice a year.
"Depending on how long the boot lasts and how (many) sharpenings you get with the blade," she said.
"I ask for a budget from my coaches for this upcoming season," said Sergeant, who receives technical support from Doug Schmierer. "They came up with a budget of $25,000. And that didn't include equipment costs."
This year, Extreme Edge Skating Club opted to waive ice fees for all skaters who make it to the Skate Canada Challenge.
"For me, they've paid my ice fees for the past two years, so it's awesome," said Sergeant.
"It's a huge chunk of money off of a bill for an elite athlete," Duffy said.

"Randy [Starkman (1960-April 16, 2012)] lived by the same motto as the rest of us. The Olympics isnt every four years, its every single day. He just got it." --Canadian Olympic kayaker Adam van Koeverden
Rohene Ward is an example of a very talented skater who struggled to find enough money to train and ultimately had to retire from competition. A lot of people have wondered what he might have achieved if he had been able to afford unlimited coaching and ice time.

Posted Friday March 8, 2013 --- 4:45 p.m.
CREs are resistant to most antibiotics. According to health officials that's what concerns them. Even more freighting they're already inside you.
" Infections with these are much more difficult to treat. "
According to Gwen Borlaug, Coordinator of the Health Care Infections Program with the Division of Public Health, the bacteria lives in your gut. It doesn't become harmful until it's outside your gut.
" They are resistant to a number of antibiotics and then we're left with very few choices to treat them with. "
Certain CRE infections have a fatality rate approaching 50%. People most at risk include those who already have weakened immune systems or frequently encounter health care facilities like hospitals.
Despite that Borlaug says patients should not avoid going to hospitals.
" Patients shouldn't panic. There are ways that hospitals are able to reduce transmission, they're able to protect patients. So, we don't want you to stop getting your health care just because of this. "
The State of Wisconsin has been tracking CRE infections since 2011.
Since then 25 cases have been reported. Nationally, according to the CDC, CRE infections are becoming more common. 42 states have reported at least one type of CRE infection.
Officials say the best way to avoid CREs is to practice good hygiene.
That includes washing your hands frequently.

An animal that was a vivid part of many people's memories in the Puget Sound area has died.
Ivan, the gorilla who lived in the B & I Circus Store in Tacoma for nearly two decades, died Tuesday following a medical procedure at a zoo in Atlanta.
More than 50-years-old, Ivan's health was failing and keepers elected to run a full diagnostic workup on him.
The gorilla was put under general anesthesia Monday and never woke up, said Dr. Dwight Lawson of Zoo Atlanta.
"He passed away peacefully," he said. "Ivan was quite old, and over the past few weeks his condition had been declining."
The zoo said Ivan had recently lost weight, lacked an appetite and suffered from a respiratory illness.
Ivan had lived at Zoo Atlanta since March of 1995. He was born in the wild around 1962 in what is now the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Wildlife traders sold him to the owners of the Lakewood department store in 1964 where he was kept alone in an indoor enclosure with walls painted to resemble the jungle.
The store's star attraction, many people around Puget Sound remember making specific trips to see Ivan, known to sometimes bang his fists against windows as shoppers looked at him.
In 1987, the local animal activists with PAWS of Lynnwood took up Ivan's cause, campaigning to have him released.
In 1991, Ivan was featured in a National Geographic documentary titled, "The Urban Gorilla."
Facing pressure from the community, in 1994 the store donated Ivan to Seattle's Woodland Park Zoo, which later transferred him to Atlanta. Watch video from Ivan's release by clicking here.
When Ivan arrived in Atlanta, zookeepers said he hadn't seen other gorillas since he was a baby.
Dr. Lawson said Ivan remained attached to humans likely as a result of his background.
"He never took to [other gorillas] quite as well as we'd hoped," he said. "He got along with other gorillas but never bred and maintained a friendship with people."
Share your comments and memories of Ivan on Facebook, Twitter, or using the comment section below. We'll share some of them on KING 5 News and KING5.com throughout the day.
Here is a selection of some of those reactions and memories posted to YouTube, Facebook and Twitter:

FREEMAN SEEKS 300th CAREER VICTORY ON SENIOR DAY AT VALPO
Friday, February 27, 2004IPFW (8-19, Independent) at VALPARAISO (15-11, 10-5 Mid-Con)
WHEN: Saturday, February 28, 2004, 2:05 p.m. CST.

TV: None.
THE COACHES: Valparaiso is led by Keith Freeman, who is in his 16th season of coaching, and 10th with the Crusaders. He is 299-164 overall and 170-117 at Valpo. IPFW is led by Bruce Patterson, who is 267-162 in his 13th season overall and 21-61 in his 3rd season with the Mastodons.
SERIES RECORD: Valparaiso leads the all-time series with Southern Utah 5-4.
LAST MEETING: Valparaiso downed the Mastodons 86-60 back on December 10 in Fort Wayne, Ind. Suzie Hammel led four Crusaders in double figures with 19 points, while Jenna Stangler added 18 more. Geneva Murdock led the Mastodons with 20 points and seven rebounds.
Valparaiso steps out of Mid-Continent Conference action on Saturday afternoon to entertain IPFW on Senior Day beginning the final homestand of the 2003-2004 season for the Crusaders. The Brown and Gold is looking to rebound from a loss at Southern Utah last Saturday.
FREEMAN CLOSES IN ON 300: Valpo head coach Keith Freeman is going after his 300th career victory for a second time against IPFW. In his 16th season of coaching, Freeman has posted a 299-164 record overall. Of that win total, 170 have come at Valpo, 85 at St. Joseph's (Ind.), and 44 at Huntington, Freeman's first school.
VALPO AMONG NATION'S BEST: The Crusaders currently rank 22nd in the nation in turnovers per game according to the February 24 NCAA rankings. Valpo has turned the ball over just 14.7 times per game.

A WINNING TRADITION: Valpo has assured itself of its 13th winning season in the last 14 years. The only time the Crusaders have not finished over .500 during that time was in 2000-2001. Valpo's 15 wins thus far this season currently rank tenth in Crusader history for victories in a year.
DEFENSE: Valpo's defense has allowed just 56.0 points per game during league play, and allowed just one opponent, UMKC, to reach 70 points in a game. In fact, just four conference foes have even reached the 60-point mark.
KUIKHOVEN HAS CAREER NIGHT: Mayella Kuikhoven came in off of the bench and provided a big spark for the Crusaders at Southern Utah. In just 13 minutes of action, the sophomore tied her career high with 15 points and also led the Brown and Gold with five rebounds.
IPFW NOTES: IPFW will conclude its 2003-2004 season this afternoon here in Valparaiso. The Mastodons snapped a seven-game losing skid on Monday evening with an 82-69 triumph over Wright State in Fort Wayne.
The Mastodons have three players averaging in double-figures in scoring on the season. Amy Gearlds is the only player to have started all 27 games for IPFW and leads the squad averaging 17.9 points per outing. Against the Raiders on Monday, she poured in 26 points, draining five three-pointers.
Verea Bibbs has added 14.1 points per game for the Mastodons, while grabbing a team-leading 8.5 rebounds per night. On the year she is shooting 56.4%, which ranks 24th in the nation.
