By Brian Dumaine, senior editor-at-large
FORTUNE -- The news on global warming isn't getting any better. A draft summary of the next big United Nations climate study, as reported by the New York Times, concludes with nearly 100% certainty that human activity is the main cause behind the earth's heating, and that if nothing is done to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions, sea levels could rise a catastrophic three feet by the end of the century. In the 2010 Cancun Agreement, world leaders concluded that the most we can afford is a 2°C rise in global average temperature above pre-industrial levels. Another new study by the British NGO Carbon Tracker found that to avoid that 2°C rise, the world must largely wean itself from oil, gas, and coal by mid-century. Because nearly all of our energy now comes from fossil fuels this is, to say the least, a daunting task.
MORE: On climate change, we are the ones we are waiting for
Those kind of challenges are what motivate the scientists and engineers at California Institute of Technology, one of the nation's premier universities. In a quest to make the world more sustainable, The Resnick Sustainability Institute at Caltech, a think tank which is funded by entrepreneurs Lynda and Stewart Resnick, who created the POM Wonderful and FIJI Water brands, has established a global award that will honor cutting-edge work that addresses some of the hardest problems in energy and sustainability. Says Neil Fromer, the Resnick Institute's Executive Director: "We are trying to shine a light on the brilliant young scientists, engineers, entrepreneurs, and politicians around the world who are innovating in sustainability."
Called the Resonate Awards, the contest will be judged by a panel comprised of Caltech's professors and outside experts. The judges will look for young, unheralded innovators around the world who are thinking in radically new ways to solve the world's climate, food, water, and resources problems. "One of our goals," says Fromer, "is to discover new business models for working in a more sustainable ways."
The award winners will be announced in the spring of 2014. To apply, go to http://resnick.caltech.edu/awards.php.

Will Democrats Lift Sarb-Ox's Heavy Burden?
Will Democrats Lift Sarb-Ox's Heavy Burden?
Berlau op ed in Investor's Business Daily
March 14, 2007
Imagine you had a time machine and could go on a stock-buying spree 25 years ago. Yet you didn't bring that much cash on board.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
You could do pretty well investing in the growing firms of Wal-Mart Stores or Apple. But you'd make a killing on this retailer that had just recently gone public with only four stores to its name. Buying 100 shares of Home Depot in 1982 would yield you $1.6 million by 2002.
But time travelers coming back to 2007, even with a fistful of stock market data, probably won't be so lucky. Neither will today's savvy investors who study past trends in publications such as Investor's Business Daily. This is because a law sold as protecting investors from fraud is actually hurting investors' ability to grow wealthy with legitimate firms.
As a U.S. Chamber of Commerce task force this week unveils recommendations for lightening the burdens of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, expect the media to paint the issue as business vs. shareholders.
The truth, however, is that average investors have been some of this law's biggest victims.
Rushed through Congress after the Enron and WorldCom scandals, Sarb-Ox ended up imposing many mandates that greatly encumber honest entrepreneurs. Home Depot co-founder Bernie Marcus recently told IBD that his company could not have gone public as a four-store firm "in today's legal and regulatory climate."
This means that Home Depot's early investors would also have lost out if Sarb-Ox had been in place.
Sharp Eyes Needed
Today, it is much harder to get in on the firms that could be the next Home Depot, unless you are a super-wealthy investor that can participate in private equity deals. According to BusinessWeek, the median market cap of a company going public was $52 million in the mid-1990s. Today, it's $227 million. This means that average investors are increasingly shut out of a company's emerging growth stages, where they would, yes, take the most risks, but also could reap the biggest returns.
The most costly provision, Section 404, forces auditors and executives to sign off not only on the accuracy of financial statements, but also on a company's internal controls.
The unaccountable Public Company Accounting Oversight Board created by the law has defined "internal controls" very broadly, to include a firm's software and other items that have little relevance to financial statements. Some say the law should be called the Accountants Full Employment Act.
But Section 404 isn't the only costly provision. Rules for the strict "independence" of directors on audit committees are preventing large shareholders such as venture capitalists from serving on these committees, even if they are not part of a company's management. But these folks are often the ones with both the incentives and expertise to keep a sharp eye on management for all shareholders.
The strict ban on auditors performing consulting services for the firms they audit should also be tossed. This has resulted in companies having to hire several different firms to perform similar functions regarding taxes and bookkeeping.
Staying On Top
This ban was put in place to avoid auditor conflict of interest, but it is an impractical standard to try to avoid potential conflicts at any cost. Surgeons, for instance, have conflicts of interest if they also refer patients for surgery. But until they prove otherwise, we trust these doctors because they are in the best position to know the surgery that is needed and perform the needed operation. Public companies should be given the same benefit of the doubt.
To ensure that America remains the premiere economy for investors and entrepreneurs, Sarb-Ox must not just be fine-tuned by regulatory agencies, but thoroughly overhauled in Congress. One important sea change shows that, at least rhetorically, the tide has now turned. This change concerns the Democratic Party.
Sarb-Ox was largely crafted in 2002 by Maryland Sen. Paul Sarbanes, chairman of the Senate Banking Committee during the Democrats' brief control of the Senate after the switch of Vermont Sen. Jim Jeffords. But before their victories in 2006, some savvy Democrats such as New York Sen. Chuck Schumer and Speaker Nancy Pelosi started talking about Sarb-Ox's burdens. Pelosi told CNBC in October that the law had "unintended consequences," adding, "I don't think you need the whole package."
Sticking with their words by cutting away the most burdensome pieces of the Sarb-Ox package would go a long way in persuading investors that Democrats can support some reasonable regulatory reform.

Horrible customer service! Almost 1 month so far and no replacement for my RMA CPU.
90% of the order was delivered next day. Remaining item took 4 phone calls over the space of one and a half weeks with all the excuses under the sun to get them to ship. They simply do not care about the customer.
Firstly they use DPD - Enough said about DPD as a courier :)
Secondly - Poor packaging
Thirdly - I've been trying to return an item for the past 4 days as per the Long Distance Sales Agreement. They don't respond to emails nor answer the phone. DDI for returns is 0121 202 0033 (Good luck with that)
Fourth - No PayPal payments accepted as obviously a fair few people like myself would have requested refunds
Fifth - Minimum £45 restocking fee if returned products are damaged in anyway
Sixth - One star because they are cheap - So worth a punt providing your product does not develop a fault
Finally, I'm not going to waste my time with an RMA as these guys are obviously working on a shoestring budget and will no doubt take ages to process my RMA. I'll just have to sell my item on eBay and remember never to buy from box.co.uk again just for the sake of a couple of quid.
The rest of my order will be going through Aria PC.

I ordered a very nice present, the ad said delivery within 2 to 3 days i paid extra to make this happen. then on day of delivery recieved an email saying out of stock for one month. called customer services who said that had been rervised to 2 to 3 months. then recieved an email after asking for my money to be refunded, saying that my complaint and refund could have been dealt with quicker if i had gone on line.
Missed the birthday, no present as the money takes up to 5 days to go back into account. VERY POOR the delivery shown on the site should reflect some thing like the delivery time.
Unfortunately I'm forced to write really poor feedback.I would like to strongly warn everyone .I never delt before with such unprofessional company. I bought Ausus 24inch monitor ,after few days received completely different item HP 23 inch .I rang them immediately to report. Lady on the OYYY customer care line promised that my Asus will be send and delivered at the collection day of the wrong HP monitor. At that point there was't any problem.Fully understand that this things can happen.BUT when courier collected wrong HP monitor,I rang them to confirm when I will get my ASUS. once again Lady on the phone assured that my Asus will be delivered same day. At the end of the day rang them once again ,and in that point i got info that there is no stock of the item originally bought by me. My money will be refunded immediately.next day there was still no refund from OYYY rang them once again and I have been told that need to wait till they will receive HP monitor-extra one more day.Full procedure took 10 days ,and at least 10 phone calls to 0870..... Lost a lot of time and additionally money to call them.Couldn't work at home almost two weeks because my old monitor broke down. spend two long days on waiting for the courier And on the top of that waiting for refund was so unacceptable.

I shopped with Novatech since they started. I'm just a private buyer, so nothing that might change their share prices one way or another. Their prices were (are) competitive but I'd never had to return anything before.
My recent experience trying to buy a HD enclosure certainly changed my view. They sent the wrong unit. Not a calamity - everyone makes mistakes, and I judge a business on how efficiently it deals with its mistakes. I was happy to keep the unit they sent - an HD enclosure is a HD enclosure, though I'd have preferred it to match the earlier unit I'd bought. But it failed within a few minutes of start up - didn't take long to establish it was the external power supply.
The ensuing correspondence to arrange a replacement had me wondering if anyone was actually reading my emails - the same stock replies resulted whatever I said. Not to worry - return was arranged, though I had to post the unit, as their collection service proved difficult to arrange given the queue every time I phoned customer support. They promised to refund part of the postage (part? whatever happened to the distance selling regulations?).
And the replacement came quickly enough to be sure. Despite emails and an enclosed letter requesting they supply the unit I'd ordered (which their website confirmed they had ample stocks of) the replacement was of the SAME WRONG UNIT!!!! This time adding insult to injury with a package missing leads and software.
Like many folks with PCs, I have a drawer full of bits and pieces, so the unit was soon in operation - I was by now kind of desperate to have the spare HD I'd picked up in the Xmas sales actually in operation.
The postage refund? Of whole or part, no sign - I'm not even surprised any more.
They're fired - of course. If only because there are plenty of other fish in the sea. Pity - they used to be one of the best around.

I wish I had seen this site before I ordered a new WebCam.
It did not come next day and had the same issues with customer service as others have. Unhelpful, never ring back etc.
Did find out though that if in stock at local depot they come out same day but if they are coming from the manufacturers they could take several days so worthwhile asking this before ordering and paying for next day.
I caught them out by asking for the name of the courier and the tracking number so I could check for myself. At this point they admitted that it had not yet been despatched. Try this if they are giving you the run around.
I have eventually received my webcam ( thru Parcelforce not City-Link as advised !!! ) but not happy with all the hassle that went with it so won't use CCL again :-(

Ordered a £1600 overclocked 4.80Ghz gaming PC, and came 6 days later. The sales team rang me the morning before to tell me it was ready for dispatch. They also gave me a free steam voucher for the new Dirt 3 PC game!!

Very happy customer!!

The PRO-4X model is restyled with new decals, a satin chrome grille, darkened wheels, and white stitching for the seats.

Who said American automakers are the only ones capable of building a full-size pickup truck? The Titan is Nissan's take on the segment, and it matches its Detroit competitors in size, power, and heft. It has one engine, a beefy 5.6-liter V-8, that mates to a five-speed automatic transmission. Body choices are a four-door crew cab and the King Cab, which has hinged rear half-doors, and there are three bed lengths. We think the Titan is one of the few big pickups that doesn't drive like one. The 317-hp V-8 provides muscular acceleration, and the steering has better feedback than that of some sedans. The Titan's ride is comfortable and planted over lumpy roads. This big truck has a maximum tow rating of 9500 pounds and an array of tie-downs, storage compartments, and towing gear available. The roomy interior is nicely laid out and filled with storage bins and cupholders. The front passenger seat folds flat to provide a work surface, and the center console can hold hanging files. The Nissan Titan delivers on all the primary reasons for which buyers select full-size trucks: size, power, utility, and capability. Unfortunately, all those qualities haven't translated to sales, as Nissan has been unable to gain much of a toehold in the lucrative full-size-pickup market. Currently, Nissan sells one Titan for every twenty-seven F-series pickups sold by Ford.
Front, side, and side curtain air bags; stability and traction control; ABS with brake assist; and a tire-pressure monitoring system are standard.

Reviews for Frosted Banana Bars(31)
Sort By :
Have made this again and again over the years. I don't change anything except I don't make the full frosting recipe. It is a bit too much. Great, easy recipe.
Banana banana banana!!!
My son loved this treat! Glad I cut back the icing sugar to 2c rather than 4c. Its a keeper for my recipe box.
very yummy. the frosting is good too but almost too much. i added four large bananas to use them up and it turned out great. very easy recipe.
I'm going to repeat my review of a while ago. Don't waste your time measuring the mashed bananas; I've found three bananas works every time--and I dump the rest of the ingredients with the mashed bananas and give the beaters a few spins to mix it all together. Because the "cake" is sweet enough as is, I never add the frosting, and it's never missed. This is a no-fail, moist every time, always praised recipe. A professional wedding cake baker asked me for this recipe because she was going to replace hers for this one. You will not be disappointed.

Q: Is the earth set on pillars or hanging on nothing?
A: At first glance, verses such as the following may appear to contradict each other: how can the earth rest on pillars and at the same time hang on nothing?
In addition, the idea of earth having "pillars" and "foundations" seems to defy observations made by astronauts who have seen our planet from afar. To some, it may even sound vaguely like certain pagan beliefs, such as the Hindu idea that the earth is supported on the backs of four elephants that stand on the shell of a gigantic tortoise.
But we should not view these biblical statements as myths, because God's Word is truth (John 17:17). The supposed contradiction quickly disappears when we examine the context of each passage and recognize it as figurative language.
Continue reading to learn how applying a proper biblical hermeneutic resolves this and many other so-called "contradictions" in Scripture.
News to Note Quick Look
Death Star's demise: Nemesis, the death-dealing star no one has ever seen, was invented to explain the "perceived periodicity of mass extinctions on Earth." Nemesis is supposed to have regularly disturbed the Oort cloud—the purported birthplace of cometscausing the Oort cloud to periodically spew forth a hail of comets peppering the earth and killing things.

Building blocks in space rocks: The verdict is in: the "building blocks of life" are found in meteorites. About five percent of meteorites contain organic matter. Whenever organic molecules are found in these rocks, investigators must consider whether the material really came from space or hopped aboard after arrival on earth. Goddard Space Flight Center's new study provides good evidence that molecules like DNA's components are genuine meteorite baggage. Read more.

Substance Abuse Issues
Substance Use and Abuse
Your health and well-being can be affected by substance use and abuse, which are patterns of behavior involving a chemical substance that can have addictive tendencies or negative effects.
Substance use generally refers to infrequent or nonaddictive patterns of drug use. Substance abuse (sometimes referred to as "drug abuse") typically means that a person is using drugs in a way that is harmful to personal health and well-being. This is usually related to psychological or physical addiction.
Substance abuse can refer to using both legal drugs (such as prescription pain medications) and illegal substances (like cocaine, heroin, or methamphetamine). If you use these substances, you run the risk of developing a tolerance to these drugs and eventually to a dependence on them. Long-term use of these substances can lead to damage to your body, including your brain. This damage can occur as a result of the substance itself, or from the things you do while using.
For more information, see the National Institute On Drug Abuse's Drugs, Brain and Behavior–The Science of Addiction.
The Major Players
Some substances have addictive qualities and tend to be abused more than others. Below is a list of illegal substances that play a role in abuse and/or addiction. Please see the links below for Facts and Figures on each substance from the National Institute on Drug Abuse.
- Alcohol
- Club Drugs
- Cocaine
- Heroin
- Inhalants
- LSD (Acid)
- Marijuana
- MDMA (Ecstasy)
- Methamphetamine
- Nicotine
- PCP/Phencyclidine
- Prescription Medications
- Steroids (Anabolic)
What's HIV got to do with it?
The idea that HIV is closely connected to substance abuse is not surprising to healthcare providers who have been working to care for people living with HIV for any length of time. But what many people don't know is that substance abuse is significantly tied to both prevention AND treatment of HIV.
For people who are currently living with HIV, substance abuse negatively affects their health and well-being in a variety of ways, including:
- Physical effects:
- Drugs like cocaine and heroin can seriously affect your circulatory and respiratory systems, and overdoses can lead to death.
- Methamphetamine ('crystal meth', 'Tina', 'ice', 'crank') can lead to tooth decay, significant weight loss, impaired blood circulation, liver damage, kidney damage, and damage to specific receptors in the brain.
- Drugs like methamphetamine and cocaine have been known to affect your immune system, making you more susceptible to infection. Nicotine affects your circulation, making healing of tissues more difficult and wounds more prone to infection.
- Some substances interfere with HIV medications and other medication that may be a part of the HIV plan of care.
- Behavioral effects:
- Recreational drugs can make you feel really good—but what goes up must come down. Coming down from a high from many substances can create feelings of exhaustion, pain, confusion, irritability, and/or depression.
- Getting high can make it hard for you to remember to take your HIV meds.
- Getting high can make it hard for you to remember to make or keep doctor appointments and clinic visits.
- Using drugs can affect housing, social support networks, employment, relationships, etc.—all things that can be very important for someone living with HIV.
- Substance abuse can cause new psychiatric issues and make previous conditions worse (including depression and schizophrenia).
- Using drugs may impair your judgment about sexual risk behaviors—making you less likely to use safer-sex practices and increasing the risk that you could transmit HIV or get another sexually transmitted disease (STD) that could complicate your HIV infection.
For more information, see the National Institute on Drug Abuse's Drugs + HIV: Learn the Link, or SAMHSA's Drugs, Alcohol, and HIV: A Consumer Guide.
Ready to find help? Here's how!
If you are using, the choice to quit can be the most difficult and challenging choice you ever have to make. Substance use and abuse can have both physical and psychological roots, and you may need medical treatment and psychological therapy to help you to stop using drugs. It takes a willing individual, a strong support system, and a sound community program or partnership to be successful in stopping the patterns of substance abuse. Below are some helpful links to finding the help you need:

Frequently Asked Questions
What if I only use drugs on the weekend? Is it really that bad?
Recreational or occasional drug use can be just as dangerous as an addictive pattern of behavior. In particular, excessive alcohol or stimulant (meth) use can be damaging even on an intermittent basis. These behaviors can be associated with immune system damage, lack of medication or treatment adherence, infection, organ damage, and overdose. Some of these effects can be seen even if a person only uses them on the weekends or when out "partying." Sometimes this behavior is more dangerous because it leads to a greater loss of control and more risky behavior.
For more information on the negative effects of substance abuse when living with HIV, please see the Department of Veterans Affairs' HIV/AIDS: Drugs and Alcohol.

BWW Reviews: Houston Grand Opera's Entertaining SHOW BOAT Dazzles and Delights
Houston Grand Opera opened their Winter Repertory offerings with an impressive and rousing production of Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein II's iconic book musical SHOW BOAT. The musical historically changed the face of American Musical Theatre and introduced a genre of entertainment that many feel OKLAHOMA perfected and solidified. Despite it's classification as a musical, the show's score is incredibly operatic and requires many classically trained voices to effectively pull off a production.
Spanning from 1887 to 1927, SHOW BOAT follows the trials and eventual successes of Magnolia "Nolie" Hawks, daughter of Cap'n Andy Hawks of the Cotton Blossom show boat. The plot centers on her torrid love affair with the river gambler Gaylord Ravenal, who leaves Nolie and their daughter high-and-dry in Chicago after his gambling debts catch up to him. In his absence, Nolie goes on to discover her own talents and becomes a leading lady on Broadway. Along the way, the musical deals with racism and the contemporary public's attitudes towards interracial relationships.
Direction by Francesca Zambello brings enchanting life to the familiar story. Each of her leads embodies a character that is distinctive and journeys on their own unique and individual arcs, bringing vivacity into the nearly 86-year-old musical. Additionally, Francesca Zambello is presenting the musical in a similar fashion as the 1988 Studio Cast Recording does, making no edits to language that some may deem objectionable. The audience will be realistically exposed to the N-word, as it was used historically on the Mississippi River. Under Francesca Zambello's reigns the plot moves crisply, keeping the audience engaged in the action of the show whether it is their first experience of 1,000th with the material.
Michele Lynch's choreography is stunning, exhilarating, and captivating. She expertly works around the period costumes of the 1880s through the 1920s to create dance moments that are thrilling and wholly entertaining. Her best examples of stunning dance work are any of the times that the six featured (three white and three African-American) couples get to showcase their skill and talent.
As conducted by Patrick Summers, the opening night performance clipped along at a great pace. The score was beautifully played and sung, except for the opening of the overture. The orchestra started at differing tempos, creating a discordant and tinny sound. With a packed house, Patrick Summers quickly cut the orchestra off and restarted them, allowing the instrumentalists to showcase their own aptitude in playing the lush and harmonious music of Jerome Kern.
Sasha Cooke's Magnolia "Nolie" Hawks is sweet and loveable from beginning to end. Her arc from naïve and protected teenager to self-realized Broadway starlet is entirely believable and a joy to watch. Sasha Cooke's soprano instrument is breathtakingly beautiful, lending a decidedly and much appreciated operatic tonality to her performance. She shines magnificently on "You Are Love" and "Nobody Else But Me."
Joseph Kaiser adroitly captures the handsome, charming, snake oil persona of Gaylord Ravenal, ensuring that the audience falls for him almost as much as Magnolia does, even though we know we should be more wary of him. His voice soars through the air and delights on "Who Cares if My Boat Goes Upstream" and the reprise of "You Are Love."
Lara Teeter's Cap'n Andy is a quintessential portrait of a charismatic and magnanimous persona. He pristinely captures the audience's attention with flawless dance moves, wit, and a showman's pizzazz. Whether signing, dancing, or singing and dancing, Lara Teeter is completely entertaining and enthralls the audience with ease. Every high-energy line, song, and step radiates and resonates with complete and utter star quality.
Song and dance man Frank Schultz is perfectly played, sung, and danced by the talented and affable Houston area favorite Tye Blue. Every moment of Tye Blue's incredible and splendid performance smacks of boundless charisma and reverberates with fascinating precision. No step or note is out place, creating a performance that comfortably finds a place in the heart of the audience and will be cherished for years to come. Moreover, Tye Blue's performance on "I Might Fall Back on You" is simply spellbinding.
Lauren Snouffer plays Ellie May Chipley with poise and vivacious life. Lauren Snouffer's dancing and singing only match her animated and sprightly personality, as she brings whimsical and enthralling life to Ellie May Chipley. She sparkles and dazzles in her performances of "Life on the Wicked Stage" and "I Might Fall Back on You."
Marietta Simpson breathes brilliant life into Queenie, an African-American woman that society wants to oppress despite her ability to stand up for herself. At the top of the show she unabashedly talks back to Pete and challenges his superiority over her, which sets into motion the major conflict of the first act. This trait continues, and is even peppered with humor as she constantly derides her husband for being "lazy" and "shiftless." Marietta Simpson's singing on numbers like "Mis'ry's Comin' Round" and "Queenie's Ballyhoo" is sublimely evocative and emotionally stirring. Her unwavering voice gleams with lustrous control and luxurious emotional depth.
As Joe, Morris Robinson awes and electrifies the audience. His rendition of the "Ol' Man River" solo brought the opening night audience to show-stopping applause that lasted for about five minutes. The male African-American chorus joined in with him to finish the song after the applause break, and together they earned another five minutes of show-stopping applause. Morris Robinson's rich, deep bass carries through the auditorium with ease and is superbly expressive and emotionally gripping. His Joe, usually providing comic relief as Queenie castigates him for being lackadaisical really bares his soul with "Ol' Man River" and each of its reprises.
Melody Moore plays and sings Julie LaVerne with heart and grace. The audience reels for her when she decides to leave the Cotton Blossom, and our hearts break when she sneaks out of the Trocadero so Magnoila and Frank won't see her there. Her vocal skill on "Can't Help Lovin' Dat Man" and "Bill" is simply lovely.
David Matranga effortlessly wins the audience over as the dashing, daring, and brave Steve Baker in the first act, but his second act Max is slimy and unlikeable. These diverse approaches to characterization help the audience to not recognize that he is playing two characters, while ensuring that his performances are dynamic and gratifying.
The rest of the cast and large ensemble mesmerize the audience as well. Each does their duty to ensure that the show's story is realistically, wondrously, and beautifully told and sung.

The tow-truck driver involved in the incident that fatally injured a Keiser University associate dean has a long record of vehicle-related citations and felony arrests.
The dean, Elias Konwufine, 38, of Lauderhill, died Jan. 16, hours after he was run over by his own car as he pleaded with Kenneth Jay Schraff not to tow his car.
Since 2008, Schraff, 48, of Lauderdale Lakes, he been ticketed for failing to register a vehicle; failure to wear a seatbelt; failure to obey a traffic sign; improper tag; driving "too fast for conditions,'' driving without lights, and failure to secure a load, according to court records.
He's received at least four speeding tickets since 2005 — 84 miles per hour in a 65 mph zone, 47 in a 35 mph zone, 62 in a 40 mph zone and 79 in a 65 mph zone — and paid $2,510 in fines and fees, including a boating infraction.
Schraff also pleaded no contest to third-degree felonies in 2003 including burglary, larceny and grand theft, for which he received probation.
Schraff was initially identified as "John Doe'' in a lawsuit filed Thursday, seeking more than $15,000 on behalf of Konwufine's widow, Francisca and her three young children.
An amended complaint filed on Monday in Broward Circuit Court names Schraff, as well as Superior Lock & Roadside Assistance, Sure Fire Auto and Capitol Towing, interrelated companies.
A woman identifying herself as Schraff's mother answered his home phone on Monday and said he wasn't there, but had been told by his attorney "not to talk to anyone.''
The suit alleges that Schraff was negligent when he drove away from Konwufine, as Konwufine tried to negotiate the return of his car, which had been parked partly on a swale in violation of a homeowners association rule.
He had parked there because a tutor for his autistic son had parked in the driveway.
The suit accuses Schraff of failing to maintain control of his vehicle, negligently accelerating and turning the wrecker so that it endangered Konwufine and failing to watch out for pedestrians.
The suit also accuses the interrelated towing companies of failing to investigate Schraff's driving record and also failure to properly train him in Florida law regarding towing.
State law requires a wrecker driver to allow a vehicle's owner to make a reasonable offer to settle the matter before the vehicle is towed away.
The lawsuit said that Schraff never gave Konwufine the chance.

Coniferous ForestsEdited by
- F.A. Andersson
This volume Coniferous Forests is the last in the series Ecosystem of the World.
Conifers and coniferous forests are an important element around us and attract our interest. This volume starts with an account of the history and distribution of the conifers. In six chapters the most important areas in Asia, Europe, North and South America with conifers forest are described covering boreal, temperate, tropical as well as mountainous regions. The descriptions are made out from a biome and an ecosystem perspective. Also detailed accounts on tree species other vegetation is also briefly described. Climatic and soil conditions are dealt with as well as disturbances. Interesting notes on vegetation classification is also to be found, among others from Russia.
The functional aspects of the conifer forests in terms of physiology, production, biomass, water and elemental cycling are dealt with in four chapters. Applied aspects as their economic value, management and importance for tourism are also presented.

The Annual Key Member Appreciation Luncheon is scheduled for Monday, February 3rd.
Join us for an open house from 11:30a.m. - 1:00p.m.
Followed by the
Annual Meeting @ 1:00p.m.
Wellness Center Conference Room
located in the Fitness Depot
Thanks to you, and all the 2012 and 2013 Fall Classic Golf Scramble supporters, the Foundation generously donated a GlideScope® to Sanford Tracy. This equipment is the first alternative airway management technique adapted into emergency care settings.
Why an Annual Membership Drive?
Although the foundation has been very fortunate to receive several large gifts in past years, the means to sustain the organization's ability to continue providing financial support for our local hospital and clinics and continue providing scholarships will likely be based upon a yearly commitment of foundation support by community members – KEY MEMBERSHIPS.
Key membership is simply a commitment to provide a yearly tax deductible gift in an amount designated by the contributor. Gifts of any amount are appreciated and welcomed. When the Key Membership Program was implemented 10 years ago the following levels of giving were established:
$1.00- $199
– Associate Members – Certificate of Appreciation will be awarded each year of contribution.
$200 - $299
– Bronze Key
$300 - $499
– Silver Key
$500 - $999
– Gold Key
$1,000 and over
– Platinum Key
Key Members receive a membership plaque with their first gift and key. Each plaque will accommodate ten years of gift contributions.
In the past 10 years the Tracy Area Medical Foundation has been responsible for raising and contributing nearly $100,000 toward the purchase of Wellness Center equipment for strength and cardio vascular training. In 2010 the Foundation raised $85,000 and contributed $100,000 to the Tracy Clinic construction/remodeling project.
Fall Classic Golf Tournament fundraisers have raised approximately $100,000 with funds designated to purchase equipment such as a bladder scanner for hospital and clinic use, a Lucas Chest Compression System, Lifepak defibrillator, auto pulse machine, patient Hoyer lift, mobile bladder scanner, contributions to enhance radiology and technology, cardiovascular and strength training equipment and facility improvements and this year puchased a Glidescope™. Your continued support provides the highest level of care right here… at home.

presenting one of two AED's to Sanford Tracy CEO, Stacy Barstad. THe AED's were placed in the Balaton and Walnut Grove Clinics.
As a member of the Sanford Health network, Sanford Tracy receives significant support in the areas of education and technology; however expenditures in the areas of equipment and program development are the responsibility of each individual health network facility making the Foundation's support extremely important. Skyrocketing costs can impede Sanford Tracy's ability to access new technology or equipment making foundation support a paramount component of healthcare delivery here in our community.
Why Become a Foundation Key Member?
In today's world of rapidly changing healthcare delivery, maintaining quality health care in a rural setting is becoming more and more challenging. Community support, in every way, is becoming more important than ever. As a Foundation Key Member you become an integral part of maintaining the high quality of care you expect from your local healthcare facility.
For more information on how you can become a Foundation Key Member feel free to contact Lori Hebig @ 212-4179 or any Foundation Board of Director: Darcy Carlson; Chair, Elise Lanoue; Vice-Chair; Carole Snyder; Secretary, Kerry Knakmuhs; Treasurer, Daryl Swan, Nathan Stephens, Zehra Ali, Gabe Pieper, Maria Schleppenbach-Grogan.

Vermont State Police Detective T.L. Hodsden wrote in a court affidavit that Harper obtained prescriptions for opiate-based pain medications from a dozen doctors and dentists in the Rutland, Ludlow, Bennington and Keene, N.H. areas last year.
Harper allegedly filled those prescriptions at eight different pharmacies spread across Rutland and Bennington counties.
In Rutland County alone, Hodsden said Harper filled 17 prescriptions for pain medications between April and June of last year.

Tanning >Tan Bella Tanning Salon
2193 Market St, San Francisco, CA | Directions 9411437.761680 -122.438361
Neighborhoods: Central
Excellent place to tan, very clean, well kept up beds, and a very friendly staff!! Highly recommend this place!!
by far my favorite place to tan – if you want great customer service, an amazing ambiance, and of course an EXCEPTIONAL tan, you have to go to tan bella.
loves it!!!!!!!!!!
the BEST tanning salon in San francisco- no questions asked. – Okay- First off, I just want to say that the location of Tan Bella (off 15th & Market) is so convenient and easy to get to. Walking into the salon was a completely life changing experience! Not only is the place super sheek and cozy.. you also can not ask for better customer service from the employees. They really want to educate you and find a solution that is right for you. Not only have they received incredible reviews but once you go to Tan Bella you understand why. The eqiuipment is one of a kind. There is a whole other meaning to a "high pressure" tanning bed. They have beds that no other salon in San Francisco has. I just happend to be walking by one day and saw that they have been voted #1 in city search & yelp for the last 3 years.. so i decided to come in. This place is truly devoted to help satisfy their customers, they want you to leave here with the perfect tan!! I'm not a fan of writing reviews but I felt that this place deserved one...
I'm really happy that i came here and found the best tanning SALON that San Francisco has to offer!!!!!!!
Thank You Tan Bella – Just went to Tan Bella for the first time and I had a great experience. The individual that helped me (I think her name was Jessica) was extremely helpful. She gave me a tour of the entire salon and explained all of the equipment. In the past I have always burned on beds and after she helped me I new why. I will no longer go on beds with the "long white tubes". This salon has beds that don't burn you and you get really tan!!!!! Asside from the great service, the place is nice and comfortable and has a cool vibe. Thanks Tan Bella for giving me a great tan and a new fun place to go to....
Coolest Tanning Salon in SF, cute empoloyees – Yesterday was my first visit at the salon, I wanted to spray tan in this place. This is the only place I've seen here in San francisco that actually has a cool booth like this, I went to a couple other tannin salons and all the they had was either the beds with the lamps or spray tan by hand.. i basically had with no clothes on in front of a stranger that sprayed me...
But more than anything today i went and there were two reallllly cute guys working, don't know their names but one of them the one who talked to me about the booth and everything looked like a model!!! Loved his skin and his teeth.. makes you want to tan just looking at the guy... So if you still haven't seen any good salons yet. I would definately reccomend Tan Bella... Cool salon and hot employees!!
A New Tan Bella!!!!!! – I just left Tan Bella's new location by the ballpark and I am speechless. I have never seen anything like this in my entire life. The interior is out of this world....... I happened to be randomly walking by and noticed it. I had no idea it was a tanning salon. Once inside, one of the owners gave me a tour and showed me there new equipment. The equipment is off the charts.... Tan Bella has done it again!! I am so excited to have a tanning salon in my neighborhood....
Great Experience – I went to Tan Bella for the first time last week. I read all the reviews and was more curious than anything. I went there almost feeling that there is no way this place could live up to the hype. Needless to say, I walked away very happy. My wife and I wanted to get some color for our wedding coming up and thought we would give it a try. Not only was the place great inside, but the service was excellent. The gentlemen that helped us was very insightful and helpful. He helped us come up with a tanning base plan. He made sure that we will get the best tan in the shortest amount of time. He spent over an hour with us to make sure we understood everything about tanning. Tan Bella was an overall great experience.
Incredible Spray Tan – I have been going to Tan Bella since the opening and it's a great place. Even though they have cool ambiance, and great customer service; my spray tan is what i love the most. After trying about 15 different spray tanning salons in the city I found Tan Bella. I have never had such a great tan. There spray is the best. The color is incredible. Not only can i do it with bronzer, but i can also do there clear version (so i don't get anything on my clothing). The thing I love the most is all the free things they give you to ensure your spray tan is great!!!!
average at best – I have had tans at numerous spas. If you want an excellent spray tan this just is not the place. So as not to be rude I will not use this to advertise my favorite place. However I will say that if you want the best spray tan this just not is it. I only tried it because my favorite place (in pac heights) was fully booked and I live close to this place. I thought just MAYBE it would be OK..
Nope. I will from now on book enough in advance to go where the spray tan does NOT smell AND lasts more than two days.
Best in SF – Tan Bella is a great place to go and Tan. I have to admit, I was very hesitant to to give Tan Bella a chance. I live clear across town and I hate to go out of my way for things. After trying about 3 or 4 salons near my residence I decided to give Tan Bella a try. A few of my girlfriends couldn't stop talking about how much they love it. So I decided to stop being stubborn and give it a try.
They all said that the staff is great, but try and get a tan when one of the owners named Greg was there. They said not only is he nice on the eyes, but he is extremely helpful and patient. I probably asked him about 20 minutes of questions and he answered everyone of them never getting irritated. He was all make sure I was happy. He talked about lotion and what it does but wouldn't sell it to me. He felt it was to early in my process to start using lotion. I really felt that he could careless about what he sold me. He was more worried about me achieving an amazing tan. Lastly, my tan was amazing along with my entire experience. Tan Bella truly is the best sf has to offer!!!!

Right then I need your help.
So here's what I'm after, your opinions, yes I am actually asking you to be outspoken, to step up on the soapbox and hold forth, to elucidate and edumicate me with your honest to goodness views and opinions.
Are we all clear on that bit ?
Good I'll take that as a YES since no-one raised their hand in the air to object.
What I want to know about is texture; not texture in general, but texture in "specifics"… specifically, "Mouth-feel" sensations.
What do you like/love/swoon for. (OK maybe swoon was a bit much of a stretch) and what do you detest, in a "bleuch" kind of way.
"Easy" I hear you saying .. .but ahhh well no it's not "Easy" ….you see because I want to know about "texture" not taste or flavour or aroma or the combination of texture, taste and aroma, just plain old texture.
So I'll give you an idea of what I mean.
I like the texture of those puffy crisp-bread thingies that some people have in place of bread, not the "Danish" kind of crisp-breads like "Kavli" I mean like the "Cruskits" kind of puffed up crisp-bread.
I'd describe them as: Crisp, airy dry and somewhat grainy.
I like slippery rice noodles, slightly chewy, definitely slippery, slightly "bite" resistant, silky and smooth.
So please tell me what your favourites are and adjectivise (Is that a word ?) them for me, there's no urgency, just add to it whenever you feel like it or come across something you like.
I've thrown together a "by no means" comprehensive list below that might be helpful (feel free to add to it).
aerated, airy, biting, bubbly, bumpy, burning, chalky, cheesy, chewy, coarse, cold, cool, corded, cottony, creamy, crisp, crunchy, curdled, cushioned, doughy, downy, dry, dusty, elastic, effervescent, fatty, fine, fizzy, flaky, fleshy, fluffy, foamy, fragile, furry, fuzzy, glassy, grainy, greasy, gritty, grooved, hairy, hard, heavy, juicy, knotty, lacy, layered, leathery, light, loose, luscious, moist, oily, papery, pocked, polished, prickly, pulpy, resistant, ridged, rubbery, rough, sandy, satiny, saturated, scaly, sharp, sheer, silky, slick, slimy, slippery, sloppy, slurpy, smooth, soapy, soft, soggy, spiky, splintered, spongy, sticky, stinging, syrupy, tangled, thick, thin, tough, velvety, waxy, wet, woolly, wiry, zesty,
Cheers and thanks for your help,
