Newly Installed Dynomax Superturbo Catback System is Too Loud
So I just finished installing my Dynomax Cat back exhaust system today and it seems a little too loud for what I thought it was going to be. I wanted something that would sound throaty and strong and not be too loud so I got the super turbo muffler as everything I have heard about it is that it is one of the quietest performance mufflers around. It is incredibly loud and makes backfiring noises and I am not very happy with it. Has anybody else tried one of these out before? My Suburban had custom duals with a Flowmaster (don't know what kind) and it was not anywhere nearly as obnoxious as this one. Do they need to break in to quiet down or something?99 Silverado Z71 4.8

Spring 2012 Wedding Gown Trend: Embellished Skirts
Posted by in Wedding Dress on August 6, 2011
Bridal market has concluded in New York and everyone is excited to find out what the big trends will be for bridal fashion in 2012! A key trend from the Spring 2012 collections which were just debuted is wedding gowns with ornately embellished skirts. Learn more about this gorgeous trend, and get inspired for your 2012 wedding!
Big skirts are definitely in for 2012! Many of the most striking wedding gowns which were shown at New York bridal market featured skirts which were not only voluminous, but which also had very heavy embellishments. Oversized three-dimensional flowers are one of the most impressive accents in the new 2012 wedding dress collections. While the concept has been shown in previous years in a few haute couture lines, for 2012 the detail will be much more widely available in wedding gowns across all price points. A gown with huge flowers on the skirt would be stunning for a spring or summer bride.
Another take on the oversized embellishment trend for 2012 wedding gowns is large concentric circles of pleated organza. Brides who know their wedding history will be reminded of the famous bridal gown worn by legendary bride Jacqueline Bouvier when she wed John F. Kennedy. The design is updated with light organza which helps keep the gown from being too heavy. The three-dimensional design on the skirt of these bridal gowns is usually balanced with a more simple strapless bodice with shirring. The shirring is just enough interest to hold up to the eye-catching design of the skirt without competing. A strapless neckline looks best when it is enhanced with dramatic handmade wedding jewelry.

NORTH ANDOVER — The air traffic control tower at Lawrence Municipal Airport is among 149 nationwide that will close due to federal budget cuts, the Federal Aviation Administration announced yesterday.
Also closing in Masschusetts are the towers at Beverly Airport and airports in Worcester, Norwood and New Bedford.
The closures will be effective sometime after April 7.
Airport officials were informed in March that the towers could close, but the official word did not come until yesterday.
Last month, Paul Nugent, air traffic control manager at the airport, told The Eagle-Tribune that the five air traffic controllers who work under him will be laid off.
The lack of a control tower will not shut down the airport, Nugent said. The tower at Lawrence Municipal operates from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. each day. At night, pilots can activate the runway lights and report their position to other fliers.

By Alan Pergament
Channel 7 is moving reporter Jason Gruenauer to sports in a month to give the station three on-air sportscasters, incoming General Manager Mike Nurse said today.
A Syracuse University graduate and Lancaster native, Gruenauer has anchored sports in the past when both Sports Director Jeff Russo and weekend sports anchor Shawn Stepner were unavailable. Nurse said Russo and Stepner are expected to get extensions of deals that expire at the end of the year.
Gruenauer's move will just about coincide with the opening of the Buffalo Bills training camp. Channel 7 calls itself the Bills station. By adding a third on-air sportscaster, Channel 7 should be able to cover other sports besides the Bills and Buffalo Sabres more extensively.
Channel 2 presently has three on-air sports staffers in Sports Director Adam Benigni, weekend anchor Jonah Javad and veteran backup Stu Boyar. General Manager Jim Toellner has said in the past that he plans to add a fourth member of the sports team to replace Ed Kilgore, who recently left to work for Buffalo Sabres Owner Terry Pegula.
Channel 7's move to a three-person sports team makes Channel 4 the only station in town with only two on-air sportscasters in Sports Director Steve Vesey and weekend anchor Lauren Brill.

We have a female American Eskimo named Ava who we pulled from a shelter just before she was put to sleep. She weighs 26 lbs.
She needs to get from a San Ramon, CA to Seattle, WA as soon as possible. We are having to board her in San Ramon and the cost is adding up. She has a wonderful foster home waiting to pamper her as she deserves.
It would be great to get her all the way to Seattle but the foster mom is willing to drive to Portland, Oregon to pick her up as well.
Please contact Roxanne at email@example.com if you can help.

Two at central office get increase in salary
- Last Updated on 07:46 AM 06/12/13
- BY Tiffany Hudson
Two central office staff members received significant pay hikes following a closed session meeting of Halifax County School Board members Monday night.
Executive Director for Administration Valdivia Marshall was named assistant superintendent and will receive $5,000 in additional pay from federal funds, and Supervisor for Secondary Education Frosty Owens will receive $10,000 in extra pay for taking on the additional duties of student services.
Director of Student Services was a position previously filled by Beverly Crowder who will retire effective July 1.
The motions were passed by a 4-3 vote, with ED-2 trustee Karen Hopkins, ED-6 trustee Fay Satterfield and ED-8 trustee Walter Potts opposing. Chairman Kimberly Farson was absent from Monday's meeting.
In other action Monday night, board members made changes to the following personnel:
• Vince Newton appointed for one year as interim associate principal at Halifax County Middle School (to work 12 months);
• Stephanie Watts appointed associate principal at Cluster Springs Elementary School (to work 12 months);
• Chris Lacks appointed associate principal at South Boston Elementary School (to work 12 months);
• Pedro Zamora resumes assistant principalship at Halifax County High School (to work 12 months)
• Officially appointed Marliss Barzak as Meadville Elementary School principal;
• Continued the $3,000 stipend to Dennis Seamster for overseeing alternative education;
• Appointed Jeff Davis as director of special education (title change only); and
• Reconsidered the salary of sign language interpreter Amber Shaeffer and placed her on the teacher scale.
Also Monday evening, Halifax County High School was recognized as ranking number 11 out of 100 schools across the county for "100 Best W!SE High Schools Teaching Personal Finance." The recognition came during the regular scheduled school board meeting held at the Mary Bethune office complex in Halifax.
Supervisor of Secondary Education Frosty Owens recognized the high school program, Working in Support of Education (W!SE), a leading New York City based education not-for-profit that announced in late May the winners of the inaugural "100 Best W!SE High Schools Teaching Personal Finance" during a ceremony at the New York stock exchange.
Owens thanked instructors Judy Edwards and Ista Palmer for all their hard work with the students and extended congratulations to the Halifax County High School.
In other business Monday night, board members heard a presentation by Sydnor Jennings Elementary School Principal David Duffer about the history and activities of the school. Duffer told board members Sydnor Jennings Elementary is celebrating 50 years of education.
The school that got its name from the son of a slave stays active in the community and recently raised $500 for Oklahoma tornado victims.
Trustees Satterfield and Roger Long attended the Virginia School Board Association Law Conference on Friday, June 7, in Charlottesville to keep up to date on ever-changing issues of law.
Satterfield said learning more about the Affordable Care Act was "eye opening" because that is something the board will have to address.
Executive Director for Administration Valdivia Marshall updated board members on a number of Virginia School Board Association issues that are slated to be brought back to the July meeting for approval.
Some of the updates included developing a threat assessment team; renaming fire and tornado drills as safety drills and lock down drills and making changes in professional staff probationary terms and continuing contracts.
"We are working to finalize these policies," said Marshall.
Director of Finance Jay Camp presented a resolution to board members to terminate the Early Retirement Incentive Plan bank account that was established July 1, 1999.
Board members unanimously approved the resolution to terminate the account with SunTrust Bank that currently contains $16,000.
Board members tentatively scheduled meeting on Monday, July 8, to discuss the efficiency of school buildings with Director of Operations and Maintenance Larry Roller.
In other business, board members unanimously approved the financial report and the consent agenda that included the approval of minutes from May 13, May 24, personnel report, payment of bills and use of facilities.
Board members went into closed session to discuss personnel and student discipline.
When board members emerged they took the following actions:
• Rescinded the May 13 motion to expel student 2013-23 for 365 days with the motion passing 5 to 2 with Long and Potts opposing.
The following actions passed unanimously:
• Long-term suspend student 2013-23 for an indefinite time and include discipline records with student records.
• Long-term suspend student 2013-29 for first semester and allow NovaNet services.
• Long-term suspend student 2013-30 for 45 days and permit alternative education services, and if student remains on good behavior, his record will be expunged of this incident at the end of the 2013-14 school year; and
• Approved the Halifax County Public Schools organizational chart dated June 10.
Other personnel changes approved following Monday night's meeting included the resignations of Cluster Springs Elementary third grade teacher Judith Burton effective end of 2012-2013; Halifax County Middle School science teacher Mary Helen Stafford effective June 3; Halifax County Middle School pre-algebra teacher Holly Laughorn effective end of 2012-2013; Halifax County High School interpreter Jessica Brinson effective end of 2012-2013; and returning from leave of absence vocational paraprofessional and bus driver Willie Judkins beginning of 2013-2014 school year.

For years, Avon Middle School South has raised money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
The goal is to collect more money than the previous year. In 2012, the total was $1,300. Though they only got $6.17 the first day of this year's drive, after six days it was obvious to school guidance counselor Paul Quirke that they'd match last year's tally.
He thought of ideas that could push this year's fundraiser over the top. That's when Quirke approached Mike Dudek, a custodian at AMSS. Dudek's shaggy beard has endeared him among students.
Quirke, jokingly at first, asked Dudek if he would shave his beard if the school raised $2,000 for the fundraiser. Dudek was hesitant but agreed, thinking they wouldn't reach that amount in less than a week.
Indeed, they needed a whopping $700 on the last day — the equivalent of about $1 from each student. Dudek wasn't sweating it come lunchtime. Then money started pouring in. One student contributed two $50 bills.
"That's when he started to get a little worried," Quirke said of Dudek.
The grand total at the end of that school day was $2,003. Dudek kept his end of the agreement. Two employees from Cass & Company Salon in Avon shaved his beard during a special convocation Wednesday morning in front of the entire student body.
Afterward, Dudek described his new appearance as "different." "I don't think I've felt air on my chin in eight years," he said.
Dudek has an annual routine. Every Memorial Day he shaves his beard down to a goatee and shaves his head. He keeps them both that way until sometime in September.
"Then I start growing my hair and beard out until Memorial Day again," he said. "This year we went a little early."
He still had stubble after the ceremonial shaving. Cass & Company used electric clippers and Dudek didn't bring a razor to work.
"It'll be clean-shaven tomorrow," he promised.
Dudek insisted on keeping his mustache though.
"I probably haven't seen my upper lip since eighth grade," he said. Ironically, that was when he was a student at this same school. And Quirke was his guidance counselor.
"I'm back in my old stomping grounds," said Dudek, who's worked at AMSS for about five years.
Quirke accentuated the convocation with a school-wide Harlem Shuffle. It's the latest dance craze in which someone wears a helmet or mask and gets the rest of the group going. Quirke donned a football helmet and struck some "Saturday Night Fever"-worthy moves as students flooded the gym floor and others danced in the bleachers. One pupil performed an impressive version of the Worm.
"Everyone else jumps in with whatever dance move they want to do," Quirke said. "I knew the kids would know what it was. Obviously they wanted to participate."
Dudek had no regrets on taking the challenge.
"It was for a good cause," he said. "We were kind of hurting a little bit (with fundraising). I figured if it gets kids to donate, why not. It'll grow back."
Well, there was one regret: "That it's not a little warmer." Quirke says events like this are important in showing people, especially youths, what kind of positive impact they can make. For something that started with jars of pennies and ended this way is impressive.
"It gets the kids to realize there are people dealing with other stuff," Quirke said. "Just by bringing a few pennies or whatever helps make a difference. This is just a culminating celebration."

A South Pasadena doctor is being accused of forcing patients to pay the full price for her medical services and using extreme measures in doing so, according to the Attorney General's office.
is being accused of using agressive tactics to receive payments from patients, from filing lawsuits, to taking out liens on patient's homes, the Los Angeles Times reported Friday.
Martello's use of aggressive tactics to collect fees from emergency room patients like Buck — including lawsuits, taking out liens on their homes and damaging their credit — prompted an unprecedented court case by state health officials and a judge's order for Martello to cease the practices.
The state's lawsuit against Martello, however, is the first of its kind, according to Marta Green, California Department of Managed Health Care spokeswoman.
Andrew Selesnick, attorney for Martello, insists his client has done nothing illegal in her pursuit of being adequately reimbursed.

|VolleyHawks Fall In 5-Set Thriller To NU
Set Scores (NU-UNCW): 25-23, 20-25, 21-25, 25-21, 22-20
WILMINGTON, North Carolina – Northeastern's Kelly Bacon held game-high honors with 24 kills and UNCW's Christi Laite had 22, as the Huskies edged the Seahawks, 3-2, in a thrilling Colonial Athletic Association volleyball match on Friday at Hanover Hall.
The Huskies improved to 16-9 overall and 8-3 in the league with the road win. The Seahawks, who dropped just their second home match of the season, fell to 16-9 and 5-6.
The match featured 31 ties, including 10 in the fifth and decisive set, and 13 lead changes. In the fifth set, NU held off the Seahawks, 22-20, to win the match.
In set five, the Huskies built a pair of three-point leads before the teams would trade sides with NU leading, 8-5. Leah Gagliardi came off the bench with UNCW down one and tied the set at 13-all with a kill off a feed from libero Haley Collins. UNCW faced NU game-point on six occasions, but managed to tie the set on five occasions.
In the opening set, the Seahawks rallied from a five-point deficit to drawn even at 16-all following a kill from Laite. UNCW went in front, 18-16, moments later following a pair of NU hitting errors. With the score tied at 21-all, Jamie Bredahl second kill of the set gave the Huskies a 22-21 lead they wouldn't surrender.
UNCW then captured the next two sets to take the lead. In the second set, the Seahawks jumped out early to a 4-1 lead, but NU eventually drew even and grabbed an 11-9 lead on a kill from Hanna Gibeau. Nicole Lott would give the Seahawks the lead for good with a kill to make it 15-14. UNCW expanded the lead to five, 20-15, on a NU hitting error.
In set three, a solo block from Lott ignited a quick burst that included a pair of NU hitting errors to give UNCW a 15-14 advantage. NU again drew even at 16-all following a Bacon kill, but UNCW's Kristin Powell restored the lead with first of her two kills in the set.
With the Seahawks looking to close out a possible victory, NU got out to a fast lead and claimed the fourth set, 25-21. Bacon led NU with five kills in the set.
Joining Bacon in double-digit kills were Bredhal with 14 and Nicole Kurz added 12. Bredahl and Ina Kamenova collected 35 and 31 assists, respectively.
Kline added 13 kills for the Seahawks and Lott chipped in 12. Victoria Phillips (27), Alyssa Desjardins (18) and Collins (10) combined for 55 of UNCW's 59 assists.
Dejardins held team-high honors with 16 digs and Courtney Porter added eight block assists.
UNCW closes out its home schedule on Nov. 10, with a 1 p.m. start against visiting Hofstra. Sunday will also serve as Senior Day for the Seahawks.

Greensburg Daily News
Greensburg —
The South Decatur football team fell to West Washington 29-14 Friday in the Class 1A Sectional 39 semifinal.
The hosting Senators jumped out to a 7-0 lead and pulled away from the Cougars in the second half.
South concludes its season at 3-7, while the Senators improved to 8-3.
West Washington jumped out to a 9-0 lead in the first quarter and carried a 15-8 advantage into halftime. The Cougars broke through with a touchdown run from sophomore Damen Martin, and senior Matthew Gatewood produced the two-point conversion.
After the Senators scored to make it 22-8, junior Chris Johannigman connected with senior Byron Balser for a touchdown pass that cut it to 22-14.
"We had opportunities to cut into that lead, and eventually take the lead," said South head coach Rod Martin.
The Cougars gained 301 yards offensively. Junior Chris Johannigman completed 16 of 31 passes for 241 yards, including a touchdown pass and two interceptions.
The Senators held South to 60 yards rushing on 21 carries, for an average of 2.9 per rush. Gatewood gained 23 yards to lead South. Chris Meadows and Damen Martin each gained 13.
"We startred off kind of slow," said Martin. "They're a very good football team."
Martin credited the Senators' team speed.
"They have very good team speed," said Martin of the linemen and skill position players. "They're not big kids, but they have pretty good team speed. It took us a while to adjust to that, but we did a couple things to give our kids come confidence and realize that we could play with them."
The Cougars committed 10 penalties for 85 yards, which prevented them from mounting a comeback against a formidable opponent.
"It was a pretty good team, but the game came down to our own mistakes and penalties," said Martin.
Balser led South in receiving with 99 yards, while Josh Miller caught six for 70.
Game stats -
Tackling: Josh Miller, Gatewood 9 each; Brayden Helms 8; Myles Lewellyn, Randall Canady, Bryce French, Ben Tichenor, Chris Meadows 3; Byron Balser 2; Austin Ortman, Braiden Halcomb 1.

TURLOCK — As Turlock High tight end Patrick Green headed toward the locker room at Joe Debely Stadium on Friday night, he was asked to summon his team's placekicker before he disappeared into the steam of the Bulldogs' locker room.
Green stopped, began to call his teammate, and then realized something.
"Um, I don't know his name," said Green, one of the nation's top-rated players at his position.
Patrick, meet your kicker, Sergio Lopez, whose fourth-quarter PAT caromed off the left upright and through the posts to provide the Bulldogs the crucial point in a 21-20 victory over rival Oakdale in the season opener.
"At first, my holder held the ball at an angle, and I waited for him to set it straight," said Lopez. "I was thinking that it better go in or I'm done."
And who exactly is the holder?
"I don't know. Isaiah something," Lopez replied, unable to come up with Isaiah Mendoza's last name.
Forgive the Bulldogs if they were a little unclear on names. As head coach James Peterson said, his team might have had a case of the opening-night jitters.
"We really wanted this one," said Peterson, whose team was plagued by turnovers and muffed snaps in the first half. "There were a lot of nerves, especially when you consider our history with Oakdale. They're ruthless to play year after year."
After falling behind 14-0 Oakdale got TD runs of 13 yards from Brock Whiting (111 yards rushing) and 12 yards from Max Stevens (91) Turlock halved the lead when Green hauled in a 19-yard pass from quarterback Sean Downs. The 'Dogs tied the score with 2 minutes, 27 seconds, left in the third quarter when Bubba Moreno broke loose from 34 yards out to make it 14-14.
Oakdale regained the lead as the gun sounded to end the third when Stevens struck again, this time from 28, but couldn't convert the point after.
Actually, the Mustangs did convert, when holder Dillon Tamburrino picked up the muffed snap and scooted around the right end for an impromptu two-point conversion. It was called back for an illegal block.
"The referee said my holder chopped the defender," said Oakdale coach Trent Merzon, whose team outrushed Turlock 210-61 in the first half. "My holder had the ball so I don't know."
After the penalty was marked off, Oakdale lined up for a longer kick, and the snap again was botched, so Oakdale settled for a 20-14 lead.
Two plays after the ensuing kickoff, Jevan Hogan (121 yards) broke right and outraced the Mustang secondary to the end zone for a 59-yard TD with 11:18 to play.
Enter Lopez, who's been battling a slight groin pull recently. His kicked thudded against the upright, but somehow found its way over the crossbar, for a 21-20advantage.
Oakdale marched the ball down inside Turlock's 10-yard line, but Darus Nelson (122 rushing yards) fumbled and Mendoza recovered on the 14. The Mustangs got the ball again on their 27 with 1:56 to play, but Tamburrino was picked off by Hogan on the first play of the series to seal it.
"We don't care about getting beat," said Merzon, who guided his team last season to a Division 3 section title and a trip to a state bowl. "It's about getting better. We answered a lot of questions about ourselves tonight. We've got some kids who can play.
"If we somehow complete that last pass and go in for a touchdown, does that mean we're a better team? No, it just means we woulda won."

Currently the biggest problem with Jillian's current plan of action, (Return to Faq on an indirect route, leaving bloody carnage in her wake along the way, ending this turn in Brookstone,) is that she now has a large force of Decrypted dwagons behind her who can put up pursuit on the next turn.
Under normal circumstances, this pretty much means the capture/death of Jillian, for a variety of reasons. Anyone with a descent map of the area and the ability to semi accurately guess what her force's move is will be able to tell where she is spending the night once she hits Brooktone. From what we've seen, Dwagons usually have alot more move than Gwiffons. Jillian's route to her destination included a detour thru progrock, which means her path was probably not optimal for placing distance between her and Spacerock. Jillian's forces are going to be wounded from fighting the forces that were stationed in Progrock and Brookstone, but fighting fresh dragons.
Unfortunately, these are not normal circumstances. There are 2 ways I can think of that will show us Jillian getting an extra turn in which she can run away from Wanda with her tail between her legs.
In normal circumstances, Gobwin's knob natural turn comes before the RCC's meaning that they should start their next at dawn tomorrow with fresh stats. (Provided no other factor's interfer with turn order, of course.) Sadly, there exists the possibility that Kingworld may have permanently changed Gobwin Knob's natural turn instead of simply ending it. They could get a turn later today, but there is no guarantee that their move will be reset for the turn and their wounds healed. They may have to choose not to pursue Jillian, either because the dwagons simply can't make it to her location or are too wounded to fight.
If GK's turn still comes before Rcc's, then Jillian can also get an extra turn on her persuers by abusing the alliance turn order system. We've already seen one example of such an abuse here. Jillian can break alliance with Jetstone and realliance with Transylvito for a turn's head room. In fact, if Faq's natural turn occurs before Gobwin knob's, this effect may occur naturally if Jetstone falls.

Shark cage
From Openwaterpediaescort boat to serve as an open water swimmer's protection against sharks and other apex predators in the ocean during a marathon swim or channel swim. It can also be used by marine biologists, cameramen, and others who enter waters where there may be threats of shark sightings, shark encounters, or shark attacks. The cage can also have mesh around it in order to protect from jellyfish.
A shark proof cage is an extremely strong metal cage used by SCUBA divers and marathon swimmers to safely either (a) observe, examine or film dangerous types of sharks up close such as the Great White Shark or bull shark, or (b) swim across open bodies of water where sharks are known to exist. Shark cages are built to withstand being rammed by large, powerful sharks.
Open water swims performed with the aid of shark cages are not recognized by most governing bodies and the International Marathon Swimming Hall of Fame.
The swimmer was tossed about in the ocean by the turbulence caused by the shark cage.'
Patented Shark Cage
On 4 September 1979, US patent number 4166462 was issued for a self-propelled shark proof cage. The cage was designed to allow abalone divers to collect abalone without becoming vulnerable to attacks by sharks. With the propulsion system, the abalone divers would exert themselves less and therefore be able to collect their prey for longer periods of time. The patent abstract details a self-propelled cage with at least one access opening and a propeller mounting frame that carries both an air motor and a propeller. Buoyant objects are attached to the frame so that the cage may be made approximately the same density as saltwater.

Opponents of New Hampshire's new Education Tax Credit Scholarships, which will be eliminated if HB370 is passed, claim that these scholarships will financially harm public schools. Although the law providing these scholarships may decrease enrollment at public schools and increase it at private schools, this will not negatively impact public school students themselves. While the overall number of teaching jobs will not change either, private schools may experience an increase in their need for teachers while public schools will experience a decrease. Because of this anticipated result, teachers unions have been waging a war to pass HB370 and eliminate Education Tax Credit Scholarships. They have been brainwashing parents with the fear that these so-called "vouchers" will take money away from public school students and that their children's education will suffer.
Educating our children effectively should be our priority, not employing and compensating teachers. Education Tax Credit Scholarships may force some public school teachers to give up those pricey union benefits that we taxpayers end up paying for. These benefits have contributed to a per-pupil cost in New Hampshire that has almost doubled over the past ten years. At the same time, many private schools do a better job teaching our kids for a much lower price. Public schools could learn a thing or two from these private schools, and if HB370 is defeated, public schools will have to compete with their private counterparts, and this competition will result in better education for all of our children.

HOUSTON -- From the moment Mateo Morales arrived, life has been tough. First, Mateo was born in the Harris County Jail where his mother, Dialina Gonzales, remains without bond.
Gonzales has been charged with auto theft and has a criminal history.
She wasn't behaving very well," said Gonzales' mother, Ninfa Flores. "She was on drugs and alcohol."
Flores said Gonzales' even dropped Mateo on the floor in jail. That's when she claimed CPS got involved.
Eventually, Mateo ended up being taken care of by his father, Santiago Morales.
But in December, Mateo's grandmother noticed her grandchild appeared sick. She says he was very pale and called 911. The 3-month-old was rushed to the hospital where it was determined he had been physically abused and allegedly beaten by his father.
"The police told me he was guilty of what he did, so I threw him out of the house," said Flores. "I didn't want a man like that in my house."
Now, Houston police say Morales is on the run. Detectives are asking for the public's help in hopes someone can tell police where he is.
As for Mateo, he is suffering from a brain injury. At first doctors thought he would never be able to see, but now they are more optimistic.
CPS said Mateo has been placed in a foster home with his 6-year-old sister who was also removed from the home.
"I don't know how the baby is doing, but I need to see him as soon as possible," Flores said.
She told KHOU 11 News that is likely not going to happen because her husband was once in trouble with CPS.

- About Us
While it is no secret that certain chronically ill individuals require daily medical attention to prevent hospitalization, factors such as government-imposed cost constraints can adversely affect how easily — and in some cases how well — such attention can be given. Unfortunately, it is the patient who pays the price, which can range from the inconvenience of having to travel frequently to medical facilities for simple health monitoring procedures, to a deteriorating quality of life.
"Premier Home Care & Rehab uses the HomMed Tele-Monitoring System, in which we can monitor individual patients on a daily basis, 24-7, detecting even slight health changes and correcting them before problems escalate," says Chris Johnson, Administrator of Premier Home Care & Rehab. "It is a productive, preventive tool that empowers patients by enabling them to take stock of their own health care."
The HomMed Health Monitoring System is a user-friendly, FDA Class II hospital-grade device that takes just three minutes to collect its clinical data including heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, glucose levels, lung function, body weight and temperature. The HomMed System has two units: the HomMed Monitor and the HomMed Central Station. The HomMed Monitor is placed in patients' homes to guide them through taking their vital signs each day. The vital signs then are transmitted via wireless technology or traditional phone lines to the Central Station, which is located at the health care provider's facility. The Central Station then presents the patient's vital signs data for clinical review and analysis.
Among the chief benefits, that the HomMed System brings to Premier Home Care & Rehab's patients (in concert with their physicians) is the power to better manage their health — often with dramatic, life-changing results.
Like most people who live healthy, active lifestyles before becoming seriously ill, many people at first refused to believe that anything major was wrong with their health, although problems may have plagued them for years, thus putting off doing anything about them until they became impossible to ignore.
Finally, something gives way and an emergency trip to the hospital takes place. The individual will more than likely undergo a battery of tests and thus your life is changed forever, becoming embedded as a patient seeing several physicians and becoming enriched in the healthcare system.
A key component implemented into a patients healthcare plan to improve the patients well being and quality of life is to monitor the patient daily using the HomMed System with Premier Home Care & Rehab. Aided by the HomMed System, Premier Home Care & Rehab's patients are able to manage and monitor critical vital signs and to accept lifestyle changes and dietary restrictions as ordered by physicians.
A current Premier Home Care and Rehab patient stated, "My monitor has been like a godsend. I don't feel like I'm alone anymore, because the machine is right there. It wakes me up at the same time every day — even when I want to sleep!" adding, "But that's a good thing, because I'm supposed to get up and take my medicine, anyway!"
Another Premier Home Care and Rehab patient said, "This system is extremely helpful, especially for people like me, who live alone," she says. "It saves a lot of time and effort in that I don't have to go back and forth to the clinic one or more times a day, which I especially appreciate if I'm not having such a great day. I feel this technology is here to stay, and am glad to be part of it."
We at Premier Home Care & Rehab feel that the HomMed System is of great benefit to our patients. Additionally, it is a great solution for individuals who are caring for loved ones and who could use the helping hand it provides. For this, we are grateful for the sense of security the HomMed System creates along with our compassionate nursing staff who wants to improve the quality of life for all.

Ms. Effie Weaver, of Paris, celebrated her 101st birthday recently. While the Titanic hit an iceberg on April 14, 1912, Effie Weaver was born in Oklahoma, on April 14, 1912.
She moved with her family to Texas. She Married the late J.D. Weaver and worked in Denison as a nurse aide in operating rooms and labor and delivery. Ms. Weaver enjoys spending time with family and friends and watching The Price is Right.
Reaching the age of 101 is quite a feat, and being Ms. Weaver is a patient at Premier Home Care & Rehab, the staff wanted to help their patient celebrate that milestone birthday. They ordered a cake, provided food, and presented gifts for Ms. Weaver at their office on Monday, April 15th.
With many friends and family of Ms. Weaver gathering for this occasion, there was something extra special that day. The day was about honoring a lady who had been through an enriched life for over a century. It was a very special day for her, and Premier Home Care & Rehab felt privileged to share it with her.
"I don't want to get old," she said. "But it's here and I have to accept it. I am thankful."
With Christmas time, many people will celebrate yearly traditions, gatherings with family and friends and the general good feelings associated with the season, but for some, the holidays generate feelings of sadness and dread.
For those who have lost a loved one during the past year, the holidays may emphasize their grief, according to Shiles Hubbell, Bereavement Coordinator at Cypress Basin Hospice.
"Many times friends and family members of those affected by at a loss as to what to say or do to support their grieving loved one during the holidays" explains Hubbell.
The National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization offer eight practical tips from hospice professionals:
In general, the best way to help those who are grieving during the holidays is to let them know you care. They need to be remembered, and they need to know their loved ones are remembered, too.
Hubbell emphasize that friends and family members should never be afraid of saying or doing the wrong thing, because making an effort and showing concern will be appreciated.
Hospice is a philosophy of care for patients with life-limiting illnesses. A team of professionals and trained volunteers offer care and comfort to patients and their families when a cure is no longer possible. Fully covered by Medicare and most insurance companies, hospice services are available at home or in a facility such as a nursing home or assisted living.
Cypress Basin Hospice is a non-profit agency that has provided support since 1986 throughout Northeast Texas for those patients and their families who are undergoing the effects of life-limiting illness. Besides their bereavement camp for children (Camp Brave Heart), Cypress Basin Hospice offers a wide range of grief support programs to families and individuals, whether or not they are Cypress Basin Hospice clients.
For more information or if you know a person who would benefit from professional grief support, please contact Cypress Basin Hospice at 903-577-1510 or 888-429-2966, or go to www: cbhospice.org.
"Home is where the heart is" is a phrase that has been heard by many of us for most of our lives. Given the growing number of home care and hospice facilities around Texas, the phrase is starting to take on a whole new meaning.
With this as the theme, the Lamar County Commissioners' Court has proclaimed the month of November 2012 'Home Care & Hospice Month' for Lamar County.
The proclamation 'encourages the support and participation of all citizens in learning more about the home care and hospice philosophy of care for the elderly, disabled and terminally ill.'
'Whereas, home care services provide high quality and compassionate health care services to those in need, especially at times of community or personal health care crisis; and'
'Whereas, home care is the most preferred method of health care delivery among disabled, elderly and chronically ill individuals eager to live independently in their own homes as long as they possibly can; and'
'Whereas, home care in Texas is a growing alternative to hospitalization or other institution-based forms of health care for acute and chronic illnesses, providing care to hundreds of thousands of Texans each year; and'
'Whereas, hospice care providers humane and comforting support for terminally ill patients and their families, including pain control, palliative medical care, and social, emotional and spiritual services; and'
'Whereas, hospice fulfills basic human needs of feeling comfortable in familiar surroundings and of attaining physical and emotional peace during the last stage of life; and'
'Whereas, there is a need increase public discussion about advances in pain control and care options available to individuals of all ages races, and backgrounds who are at the end of life; and'
'Whereas, the Texas Association for Home Care & Hospice, and home care and hospice providers in Texas have declared November 2012 as "Home Care & Hospice Month" with the theme of "Home is Where The Heart Is" and are calling on all Texans to observe this occasion with appropriate ceremonies and activities.'
Doris Dollins, Director of Nurses at Premier Hospice (pictured to the left), attended a recent Commissioners' Court meeting to present to the Commissioners a description of hospice care and the benefits it and other home care services offer.
Both Commissioner Malone and Judge Superville said that they had family members in hospice care and agreed that it was a very valuable and necessary form of health care.

Officials are warning potential dog owners, specifically those wanting "Yorkie" dogs to beware of a pet scam that that may be using the SFO name to entice its victims.
Airport Duty Spokesman Doug Yakel reported Wednesday a scam that begins on websites offering to give away pets and offering air transport to connect a pet owner with the new pet. The scammer then requests that the consumer pay a portion of the costs, airfare or other costs such as those related to vaccines, crates or insurance necessary for travel. This request is sent in an e-mail from a false agency known as the "Health Care Department" at SFO.
Airport officials are warning that no such department or e-mail account exists and that the airport is in no way connected to this scam. For more information on Internet fraud, including pet scams, go to the Federal Trade Commission's website at www.ftc.gov.

Sometimes some things we think are harmless, like a beautiful pasture, often turn out to be prickly and annoying. Too often, beautiful things can turn out to be dangerous and harmful. Like the deer that wander past the house, they look beautiful and harmless, but in reality they are the cause of serious injury and death to humans.
As a father, I'm always vigilant to danger and constantly on the lookout to protect my family. My biggest fear is humans – not stickers, burrs, or animals. The coyotes that prey in the pastures don't scare me; I've taught my kids to not approach deer; and most of the other animals are rare and pose little risk. But it is the people who appear friendly, but in reality prey on children, they scare me.
The kids have been sleeping with us due to the flu and all the changes lately. Last night my son had a 102° f temperature and was feeling really miserable. About 2am, I rolled over and put my hand on his chest - partly diagnostic, partly to comfort.
One morning last September, my husband dragged himself out of bed at 5 a.m. and rode his bike to a nearby preschool.

Are you there God? It's me, Carolyn. I was raised Catholic, and like most people my age who were raised Catholic I no longer attend church on Sundays.

The Icon of the Tender Mother
This icon of the Tender Mother is based on a prototype which tradition holds to have been painted by St. Luke at Ephesus. In this version, which was modeled after a 19th century rendition from Italy, the image of the Mother and Christ Child is cropped close to allow the viewer to participate in the intimate relationship between the two. One is drawn to the eyes of the Virgin Mother and led to contemplate, as St Bernard describes, the perfect harmony of "a creature's adoration of her God and a Mother's love for her only Son." The beauty of the Christmas season is illustrated by Mary's hands. Her left hand holds the Christ Child close to her bosom in a nurturing embrace as her right gently caresses His cheek, inviting the faithful to behold the innocent Lamb of God. She is presenting Christ to the world as a gift from God the Father. The fulfillment of this immeasurable gift is indicated by the adornment of the sleeve of the hand making the presentation. The dark crimson mantle with which the Virgin and Child are enveloped symbolizes both the mystery of the Incarnation and the blood that was shed for the redemption of the world. The way Mary's mantle is draped over the brilliant gold-gilded vermillion of Jesus' garment invites the viewer to ponder how the magnificence of God's divinity could be shrouded humbly within the confines of human flesh. As it flows over her arm it encloses Jesus in a way similar to the halves of a seashell. Truly this gift, given by God through Mary's generous acquiescence, is a pearl of immeasurable value. This icon was written by Brother André Love, O.S.B., a monk of Mount Angel Abbey.

Holiday dinner available for less fortunate
By HEATHER TOMLINSON, CJ Staff Writer
Commonwealth Journal
Somerset —
The holiday season is about to be in full swing, and to kick it off, one local non-profit is offering a Thanksgiving dinner with all the trimmings for those who may not be fortunate enough to have such a dinner this year.
"We serve so many more people on the holidays," said Gina Gaylor, who has operated the Living Bread Soup Kitchen since its inception.
Gaylor said the soup kitchen served more than 300 people during last year's Thanksgiving dinner.
This year, the Living Bread Soup Kitchen's Thanksgiving dinner will be held from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. tonight at the Somerset Community Mission, located next to Big Lots in Somerset. The organization recently relocated to Burnside, which Gaylor said isn't yet fully equipped to handle a large-scale dinner. Gaylor said the Community Mission is just the perfect place for such an undertaking.
A Christian band will play music during today's dinner, and there will be drama performances and door prizes given out. Gaylor said clothing will be given away as well.
Gaylor said the Living Bread Soup Kitchen has enough food and supplies and volunteers for today's dinner, but the non-profit is collecting items for their upcoming Christmas dinner, and Gaylor said volunteers who can serve regularly are always welcome.
To donate or to volunteer, call Gaylor at 379-6270.

Need restaurant Rex's for the Upper Upper East side!
What kind of spot are you looking for? Top of the line will be at Sfoglia. Some place more middle ground might be Peri Ela. If you're looking for something upbeat and different , try ABV or Kaia.
re: JungMann
Thanks....your suggestions are spot onfor Thursday and in the future. I am including his roommate so I think I will save the "top of the line" for a special night out for him in the future. He actually lives above ABV and loves it. I think I will shoot to take them to Peri Ela.....again thanks. if you have any other info about neighborhood and places to go pass along. as mentioned he just moved in and would love to shorthand the research!
Just revisted Toloache on East 82nd Street-not far from where you will be. New menu with really exciting dishes. I had miso glazed Black Cod-yes in a Mexican restaurant-which was simply divine. Dining companion had Quinoa paella which was absolutely delicious as well. I been to this place before but never enjoyed the food as much as I do now!
In addition to what's already been mentioned:
Nick's on 2nd Ave and 94th is a decent sit-down pizza place. Cafe d'Alsace on 2nd Ave and 88th is a mid-price restaurant with French-German food. For standard Thai takeout within walking distance, I usually go to Gong on 99th near 3rd Ave. Joy Burger on Lex and 100th is popular too; Shake Shack on 86th is another casual burger option.
For bakeries/desserts, you cannot beat Two Little Red Hens on 2nd Ave between 86th and 85th! Plenty on 3rd Ave between 83rd and 82nd is also good. And Glaser's on 1st Ave and 87th is a lovably crusty old bakery (cheap too).
Finally, here are some previous threads that you might also find helpful:
Welcome to the neighborhood!

So what do you think a K2500 2002 with 105k miles is worth
Truck has no third seat, beat up interior, was used by State police for hauling motorcycles around with the trailer towing rig. Has 4 brand new tires, a leaking power steering cooling coil, starts on the turn of the key, a completely dead battery, and they say it has a dead trans, yet it drove into the lot without a trans problem, it has been sitting for 6 months.
So what do you guys think I should bid on her tonight? Stephen
My plan would be to fix her up for a long range boat hauling, and family travel vehicle...
Hmmm....I wouldn't pay more than $5k-$6k, not like there is a shortage of K2500's out there.04 ECSB Custom silver & grey, Soft 8's, BFG KO's, ReadyLift Leveling Kit, Hellwig front sway bar, K&N filter, DeeZee EZ-Down, Rhino liner, Alpine CDE103BT, Rockford 6.5's, 12" V.A.T.

As a guideline, I would check craigslist, and completed sales on Ebay. I image the prices would vary by region. I know out west K2500s are going cheap because of high gas prices. I reciently bought the K2500 in my signature for $4000. Given that it is the new body style, a 2002 may be worth a little more, however if it has a bad transmission, I would bid a lot less.

2011 Prius II, the daily driver
2006 Sienna, The Kid hauler
Well I bid $2700
I bid $2700 for the truck, and we will have to see, I know if we get it, the first thing is a new battery (what do you guys recommend?) and having the power steering cooler radiator replaced (its shooting out fluid) and then off to a reputable place for looking at the trans.
Got the truck... so now the work begins

The Tribune-Star
Imagine an iconic image of American sports history erased.
Anyone old enough surely remembers the scene. Atlanta served as the setting. The event was the opening ceremonies of the Summer Olympics. Bruce Baumgartner led Team USA into a raucous Olympic Stadium wearing a sublime grin and all the ingredients of ZZ Top's "Sharp Dressed Man." Navy blue sport coat. Red tie. White Panama hat, with shirt and pants to match. He carried a 10-foot American flag pole one-handed, with ease, as if it were no bigger than a track baton, with dozens of similarly attired fellow countrymen and women following behind. Muhammad Ali lit the Olympic flame that hot Georgia night.
The moment screamed "U-S-A."
That was 1996. The United States hasn't hosted the Summer Games since.
"I think that was my big moment as far as athletics goes," Baumgartner recalled Tuesday.
He earned the chance to seize it as a heavyweight champion of one of the Olympics' — and the world's — oldest sports, wrestling. From his senior season at Indiana State University in Terre Haute in 1981-82 until his retirement in 1998, Baumgartner never lost to an American wrestler. He seldom lost to any opposing wrestler, winning the NCAA title at ISU, and then 13 world-level medals, and four Olympic medals, including two golds. His fourth Olympic medal — a U.S. wrestling record — came at those Atlanta Games, at age 35.
Twelve years later, during his induction into the U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame alongside boxer Oscar De La Hoya and NBA star David Robinson, Baumgartner was called one of America's greatest Olympians ever.
On Tuesday, the International Olympic Committee decided to drop wrestling from the Games, starting in 2020. If the IOC made such a decision a generation ago, Baumgartner's big moment in Atlanta would never have happened.
"It shocks me. It dumbfounds me," Baumgartner said, "because wrestling's been in [the Olympics] for so many years."
From the get-go, in fact.
In 1896, when the modern Olympics launched at their birthplace — Athens, Greece — wrestling was one of nine sports on the roster. That was just 116 years ago, though. The connection goes further back. Ancient Olympians began competing in wrestling in 708 B.C. That was only 2,720 years ago, though. Wrestling shows up in the Old Testament. (See Jacob getting a near-fall in Genesis.) Also, archaeologists discovered cave drawings depicting wrestling, Baumgartner pointed out.
"Historic" seems inadequate as an adjective for a sport mentioned in the same book of the Bible as Noah's ark.
The Olympics diminishes itself by abandoning it.
"It is one of the original, transition-type sports," Baumgartner said of its inclusion when the Olympics re-emerged in 1896. "I think it will lose a part of history."
So, why would the Olympic honchos — the IOC executive board — treat one of its vital organs like an expendable appendix?
Think 2013, rather than 1996, 1896 or 708 B.C.
The Games are built around 25 "core" medal-awarding sports in the 21st-century Olympiads. Multiple sports vie to be the 26th medal sport. Eliminating one sport makes room for the IOC to add another. Golf is in, along with rugby, according to The Associated Press. Why golf? Well, consider the criteria the IOC used to make the cut. TV ratings, ticket sales and general popularity stood out, obviously, on that IOC priority list, which also included global participation, "political, emotional and sentimental factors," the AP reported.
Using that criteria, the IOC chose wrestling as the odd man out over, ahem, modern pentathlon. Olympic insiders seemed certain the ax would fall on modern pentathlon. "Modern" is a bit of a misnomer. This sport involves the five skills needed to be a 19th-century cavalry officer — fencing, horse riding, swimming, running and shooting. (Never mind that the ancient Greek Olympic pentathlon included wrestling.) Despite markedly lower TV ratings than wrestling, the IOC spared the cavalry competition. It probably didn't hurt that the son of former IOC Chairman Juan Samaranch is both the vice president of the international pentathlon organization (UIPM) and an IOC board member.
Baumgartner, though, understands the Olympics' need for strong public interest to thrive and survive.
"I think there's a balance. Obviously, you've got to move toward the more popular sports — snowboarding [at the Winter Games] — because that's what the younger generation wants to watch," he said. "But it doesn't have to come at the expense of the traditional sports."
He has a firm understanding of both. Baumgartner spoke Tuesday by telephone from the campus of Edinboro University in Pennsylvania. As the 52-year-old athletic director of that NCAA Division II school, he's around college students daily and has been since joining that university's athletic staff in 1984. He and his wife, Linda, also have three sons in college and high school.
Even with that grasp of youthful interests, Baumgartner fears one consideration skewed the necessary "balance" in the IOC's decision.
"I just hope it's not being driven by ratings," he said.
If so, golf satisfies that IOC desire. The sport's top pros are recognized worldwide, from Phil Mickelson to Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy.
Golf doesn't need the Olympics, though.
"You can see those players almost every weekend. Now you'll be able to see them at the Olympics," said Baumgartner, who emphasized that he enjoys watching and playing golf. "You get to see the best wrestlers once every four years."
Wrestling not only needs the Olympics, but also it embodies the Games' legacy. Physical size offers no advantage. Nor does wealth or nationality. More than 300 wrestlers from 71 different countries competed at the London Games last summer. Their duels test strength, endurance, skill, speed, and a threshold for pain, regardless of the size of the crowd or TV audience. The athletes' "ratings" of the Olympic experience are high.
"It's just a fantastic event. It's awesome," Baumgartner said. "The pageantry, the competitiveness and the intensity — it's great — and the friendship, and winning, and trying to be the best."
The sport has one last chance, albeit a slim one, to be included in the 2020 Games as one of many jockeying to be the 26th medal sport. The IOC meets again in May in Russia, and then presents the 2020 roster to the full IOC General Assembly for the final vote in September. In the meantime, the USA and world wrestling organizations will be "just trying to sell the facts," Baumgartner said.
He insisted, "It's not over till it's over," but acknowledged the situation is "bad."
"It's sad," Baumgartner said, "a sport I've spent my whole life in …"

Create a lighting experience that is specific to you with this modern floor lamp. The round lamp base creates a sturdy base and is given a brushed nickel finish. Five arc arms extend from the metal frame. The five 50W halogen bulbs needed to keep this floor lamp shining are included.
This is an excellent floor lamp with a dimmer to set the mood or to read by. It is sturdy and accents the living room area. I placed it between a tub chair and sofa, and there are light globes from the 5 arcs spreading light on the entire area. My only disappointment was that the diameter of the base was larger than described when I purchased it; I called customer service and reported the discrepancy and I note the web description has been corrected to accurately reflect the correct diameter size.

The New York Times has what, for me, is a new feature in the Opinion section called "Room for Debate." The debate posted yesterday has to do with whether or not people should have a prenuptial agreement. The case that sparked the debate? Elizabeth Petrakis, a New York resident, recently announced that she'd had her prenuptial agreement voided after she claimed she was coerced into signing it four days before her wedding.
The Petrakis case sparked a lot of discussion among family lawyers, especially members of the American Bar Assn Family Law Section. In some states, prenups are upheld if properly executed with full disclosure. In other states, prenups can be voided if unfair or "inequitable." Other grounds to void a prenup are fraud, duress and non-disclosure.
The debate posted by the New York Times is well-worth a read--both for family lawyers and for people who are contemplating a prenup or who are contemplating a divorce with a prenup in place.

Study Suggests A Little Brain Training Can Have Lasting Benefits
A new study says older adults who receive a small amount of brain training can hold on to gains in reasoning and processing speed for up to ten years
Researchers at Johns Hopkins University are calling the results stunning. Seniors in the study received roughly ten hours of cognitive training over a six week period, or received no training. Ten years later, the cognitive training seniors are reporting fewer problems carrying out daily living tasks like cooking or managing finances, compared to seniors who received no training. Alzheimer's Association Central and North Florida Chapter Program Coordinator Beverly Engel says while the study is interesting- it's hard to know what it means in terms of Alzheimer's and dementia.
"These studies are just starting to come out and they are all over the country and we need to be watching them, we need to see more of these studies," she says.
Engel says if nothing else, the study underscores the importance of life long learning and other activities that help to support brain health.

MOORE — The view from Steve Eddy's office is quite impressive.
As far as the eye can see, there are blue skies overlooking a crisp November morning. Cars just a few feet away rush to their destinations, and business around city hall seem to be thriving. But no matter how picturesque a view can be, there are still a few constant reminders that everything can change in a heartbeat.
Directly outside of Eddy's corner office is a tornado siren that seems to stretch on for miles. Out the other window sits a perfect view of where, only six months ago, a raving monster of a tornado mangled this Oklahoma city to shreds.
Not only is Eddy a Moore native, but he's also the city manager, and to say the last few months have been difficult would be an understatement. But, Eddy said, for the most part, operations at the city of Moore have a started a resemblance of normal. The city is, of course, issuing permits that are still related to the tornado, but employees are now seeing more of the daily activities they knew prior to May 20.
"It's hard to see it (Moore) get hit so many times, but to know and see it come back like it has, and be better than it was before, is certainly gratifying. We are growing now just as fast as we ever had in term of not only the storm rebuild, but new homes that are under construction. There are several of those," Eddy said.
Eddy estimates more than 300 permits have been issued for home rebuilding. A number that doesn't surprise him.
"But I am very pleased," he said "We are approaching a third of the homes that we've issued permits on to rebuild. We didn't start issuing permits until about July. We don't think that's bad at all, in fact we think that's real good."
