Charges filed in Ebony Jackson murder
Police say that he and Jackson had reconnected recently. While Jackson and was running a bath at Proudie's apartment, police say the 40 year old shot Jackson in the head. Proudie then allegedly took her body and stuffed it in the trunk of her car.
Police found Jackson's son abandoned in the hallway of a Breckenridge Hills apartment complex on January 4 and Jackson's body on January 8.
Proudie has previous convictions in 1990 for Burglary and 1992 for Assault in the 2nd Degree. He was also on probation for multiple offenses in 2012.
No word on if Prosecutors will seek the death penalty.
Illinois parolee gets 4 years for Alton double stabbing
EDWARDSVILLE, Ill. (AP) - A parolee originally charged with attempted murder in the Alton, Illinois stabbings of two brothers has been sentenced to four years in prison after pleading guilty to aggravated battery.
The (Alton) Telegraph reports that Lavonte Brownlee entered the plea after prosecutors agreed to drop the more serious counts.
Authorities say Brownlee stabbed 40-year-old John Parker and 31-year-old Jay Parker last September outside the B&R Tavern after a dispute inside the East Alton business.
Police say John Parker was stabbed as many as 10 times, and his younger brother sustained two wounds. Both survived.
Brownlee was on parole after prison terms for armed robbery, home invasion and battery.
EXPERTS: Pistorius violated basic firearms rules
Particularly jarring for firearms instructors and legal experts is that Pistorius testified that he shot at a closed toilet door, fearing but not knowing for certain that a nighttime intruder was on the other side. Instead of an intruder, Pistorius' girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp was in the toilet cubicle. Struck by three of four shots that Pistorius fired from a 9 mm pistol, she died within minutes. Prosecutors charged Pistorius with premeditated murder, saying the shooting followed an argument between the two. Pistorius said it was an accident.
South Africa has stringent laws regulating the use of lethal force for self-protection. In order to get a permit to own a firearm, applicants must not only know those rules but must demonstrate proficiency with the weapon and knowledge of its safe handling, making it far tougher to legally own a gun in South Africa than many other countries where a mere background check suffices.
Pistorius took such a competency test for his 9 mm pistol and passed it, according to the South African Police Service's National Firearms Center. Pistorius' license for the 9 mm pistol was issued in September 2010. The Olympic athlete and Paralympic medalist should have known that firing blindly, instead of at a clearly identified target, violates basic gun-handling rules, firearms and legal experts said.
"You can't shoot through a closed door," said Andre Pretorius, president of the Professional Firearm Trainers Council, a regulatory body for South African firearms instructors. "People who own guns and have been through the training, they know that shooting through a door is not going to go through South African law as an accident."
"There is no situation in South Africa that allows a person to shoot at a threat that is not identified," Pretorius added. "Firing multiple shots, it makes it that much worse. ...It could have been a minor — a 15-year-old kid, a 12-year-old kid — breaking in to get food."
The Pistorius family, through Arnold Pistorius, uncle of the runner, has said it is confident that the evidence will prove that Steenkamp's death in the predawn hours of Feb. 14 was "a terrible and tragic accident."
In an affidavit to the magistrate who last Friday freed him on bail, Pistorius said he believed an intruder or intruders had gotten into his US$560,000 (€430,000) two-story house, in a guarded and gated community with walls topped by electrified fencing east of the capital, Pretoria, and were inside the toilet cubicle in his bathroom. Believing he and Steenkamp "would be in grave danger" if they came out, "I fired shots at the toilet door" with the pistol that he slept with under his bed, he testified.
Criminal law experts said that even if the prosecution fails to prove premeditated murder, firing several shots through a closed door could bring a conviction for the lesser but still serious charge of culpable homicide, a South African equivalent of manslaughter covering unintentional deaths through negligence.
Johannesburg attorney Martin Hood, who specializes in firearm law, said South African legislation allows gun owners to use lethal force only if they believe they are facing an immediate, serious and direct attack or threat of attack that could either be deadly or cause grievous injury.
According to Pistorius' own sworn statement read in court, he "did not meet those criteria," said Hood, who is also the spokesman for the South African Gun Owners' Association.
"If he fired through a closed door, there was no threat to him. It's as simple as that," he added. "He can't prove an attack on his life ... In my opinion, at the very least, he is guilty of culpable homicide."
The Associated Press emailed a request for comment to Vuma, a South African reputation management firm hired by the Pistorius family to handle media questions about the shooting.
The firm replied: "Due to the legal sensitivities around the matter, we cannot at this stage answer any of your questions as it might have legal implications for a case that still has to be tried in a court of law." Vuma said on Monday it referred the AP's questions to Pistorius' legal team, which by Tuesday had not replied.
Culpable homicide covers unintentional deaths ranging from accidents with no negligence, like a motorist whose brakes fail, killing another road user, "to where it verges on murder or where it almost becomes intentional," said Hood. Sentences — ranging from fines to prison — are left to courts to determine and are not set by fixed guidelines.
The tough standards for legally acquiring a gun were instituted in part because of a wave of weapons purchases after the end of racist white rule in 1994, said Rick De Caris, a former legal director in the South African police. Under South Africa's white-minority apartheid regime, gun owners often learned how to handle firearms during military service. Many of the new gun owners had little or no firearms training, which brought tragic results, De Caris said.
"People were literally shooting themselves when cleaning a firearm," said De Caris, who helped draft the Firearms Control Act of 2000.
Prospective gun owners must now take written exams that include questions on the law, have to show they can safely handle and shoot a gun and are required to hit a target the size of a glossy magazine in 10 of 10 shots from seven meters (23 feet), said Pretorius of the Professional Firearm Trainers Council.
In his affidavit, Pistorius said he wasn't wearing his prosthetic limbs "and felt extremely vulnerable" after hearing noise from the toilet.
"I grabbed my 9 mm pistol from underneath my bed. On my way to the bathroom, I screamed words to the effect for him/them to get out of my house and for Reeva to phone the police. It was pitch-dark in the bedroom and I thought Reeva was in bed," he testified.
Legal experts said they are puzzled why Pistorius apparently didn't first fire a warning shot to show the supposed intruder he was armed. Also unanswered is why, after he heard noise in his bathroom that includes the toilet cubicle, Pistorius still went toward the bathroom — toward the perceived danger — rather than retreat back into his bedroom.
"He should have tried to get out of the situation," said Hood, the attorney.
UPDATE: Ebony Jackson murder suspect in custody
Investigators believe Jackson was killed in the suspect's north city home, not far from where her body was found stuffed in the trunk of her own car. The paper reports that the suspect's current girlfriend lives in the apartment building where Jackson's baby was found.
Trial of man accused of murdering two Steak 'n Shake employees underway
23-year-old Oundre Akins allegedly killed the two employees during a robbery. Akins decided this week, to waive a jury trial and will allow the judge to decide his guilt or innocence. In exchange for that move, prosecutors took the death penalty off the table.
Prosecutors say Akins' brother, Anthony Akins was also involved in the crime. Anthony had murder charges reinstated after he refused to testify against his brother, and prosecutors plan to seek the death penalty is he is convicted.
2 men charged in SE Missouri man's death
BLOOMFIELD, Mo. (AP) - Two Southeast Missouri men are charged with first-degree murder in the death of a man whose body was found in a truck in a fast-food restaurant parking lot.
Stoddard County prosecuting attorney Russ Oliver says 29-year-old Matt Cook and 45-year-old Glen Scott Evans, both of Dexter, were charged Sunday in the death of 34-year-old Sean Crow of Bernie. Crow's body was found in a truck in Advance last Wednesday.
The Southeast Missourian reports the men were also charged with robbery and armed criminal action. They are being held in Stoddard County Jail.
Online court records do not show that either man has a lawyer.
Further details about the crime and cause of death have not been released.
Two men charged in Jennings homicide
Prosecutors have charged with 25-year-old Anthony Primm and 24-year-old Bernard Eric Wilson III with second-degree murder and first-degree burglary. Both are being held in St. Louis County Jail on $500,000 cash bail. Online court records don't list lawyers for either men.
Prosecutors claim Primm entered the home through an attic vent and is accused of taking various items from the home when Hutchinson was shot.
UPDATE: Pistorius charged with murdering girlfriend
The prosecutor said Tuesday that Pistorius shot 29 year old Reeva Steenkamp four times through the bathroom door of his home in a guarded and gated complex in the South African capital, Pretoria. Prosecutor Gerrie Nel told the court the door had been broken open.
The family of the 26 year old Paralympian and Olympic athlete says police evidence will show there should be no murder charge in the Valentine's Day shooting.
Pistorius, in a gray suit, blue shirt and tie appeared grim and solemn in court. He nodded after the chief magistrate asked if he was well.
Man with two overturned murder convictions, will face third trial
Mark Woodworth walked out of the Livingston County jail at midday Friday and repeatedly said he was overwhelmed by the prospect of his new freedom. He thanked his friends and relatives for their support, hours after a judge's order releasing him on a $50,000 bond.
Woodworth has been serving a life sentence in the fatal shooting of Cathy Robertson, the wife of his father's farming partner. His latest conviction was thrown out in January when the Missouri Supreme Court ruled state prosecutors had failed to share evidence with Woodworth that could have helped his defense.
Attorney General Chris Koster quickly announced he would try Woodworth again.
St. Clair County Cold Case Task Force makes arrest in 1995 murder
Charges have been filed against George Bricking Jr for the 1995 murder of Christine Foster. Bricking had been arrested in '95 but a grand jury determined there was not enough evidence to file charges.
The task force also arrested Carlos Garrett for the 1989 murder of a 16-year-old girl earlier this week.

A man breaks out of jail to reach his one, true love and meet his daughter for the first time.
Many a country song and the occasional movie have been built on that melodramatic frame. But it earns an elegiac treatment in "Ain't Them Bodies Saints," a spare, subdued Texas tale that wears its worn premise with style.
Casey Affleck is Bob Muldoon, a low-rent outlaw whose devotion to Ruth (Rooney Mara) is such that you kind of wonder why the guy won't go straight, just for her.
Within the first five minutes of the film, we figure out why. She drawls "I don't want to go to jail" and "That shack ain't no home" and "I think I'm gonna have a baby." Ruth drives the getaway truck for Bob and his pal Freddy (Kentucker Audley), only they don't get away. Freddy dies in the shootout, Ruth shoots a deputy (Ben Foster) and Bob takes the rap for her.
He goes to prison and writes her long, aching letters that narrate the film. She has their baby and tries to start over, only that deputy who doesn't realize she's one who shot him takes to coming around, looking in on them and buying the little girl, Sylvie, presents.
Then Bob breaks out.
Editor turned writer-director David Lowery follows Bob's quest to get back to Ruth, the obstacles he faces and the complications that await him back in tiny Meridian, Texas. The action — which involves the legacy of the old man who raised him (Keith Carradine) — is less interesting than the characters, who are layered and given full-blooded performances by the cast. Affleck, in particular, has never been more natural in a role.
They could have set this modern story in the Dust Bowl, and Mara's rawboned features would have been right at home. She embodies a kind of edgy rural allure that makes the deputy's awkward courtship scenes feel just right.
And Carradine brings a marvelous weariness to a man who feels responsible for some of this and wants to make things work out, but who can't see that happening with Bob on the run and making his way back to Ruth.
There's nothing new here. Ryan Gosling's "The Place Beyond the Pines" recently covered some of the same ground. But it's all written, spoken, photographed and edited with such care — the soundtrack features violins, twangy string music and hand-claps — that "Ain't Them Bodies Saints" feels like a fresh and poetic treatment of a prosaic story that should be utterly worn out by now.
A man breaks out of jail to reach his one, true love and meet his daughter for the first time.

Cellar/Tasting Notes "Give this Burgundian-style Chardonnay some extra breathing time and it rewards you with tight, fine-spun and complex flavors of lemon meringue, orange peel and brioche, with a streak of creamy vanilla. It's the sort of wine that invites reflection and rewards patience."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "From a vineyard on Ribbon Ridge immediately west of Bergstroms' winery, planted only in the last half dozen years, and monopolized by them, the 2011 Pinot Noir Le Pre du Col leads with scents of licorice and tamarind; smoky black tea and nobly fungus; lemon and grapefruit oils; not to forget..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Vibrant, expressive, focused and concentrated, dancing lightly with an array of toast? and mineralaccented peach, pear, lime and orange blossom flavors, lingering enticingly against refined acidity."

It can't be easy making the longest running film franchise fresh and interesting… it can't be easy at the best of times, but on this 50th anniversary year, the producers and new director Sam Mendes had their work cut out.
Last week critics got their claws on the film for the first time, and the reviews appear positive. The Rotten Tomatoes website is currently listing at an aggregate score of 96%.
Here's a few soundbites from some of the reviews – some of which are spoilerific.
Skyfall swipes the best and most established Bond elements from every actor's tenure and combines them into a film so satisfying as a stand alone story it's nearly impossible to envisage how it could be improved. – Clothes of Film
On his third outing Daniel Craig's Bond finally feels like he's come into his own, a strong balance of old and new but a rugged, clever character all his own. And Skyfall is the suave yet wry, superbly confident and perfectly executed movie to match him. – Cinema Blend
Bardem, who created such a memorable screen villain in No Country for Old Men's Anton Chigurh, repeats the trick with Silva. He's camp, creepy and reptilian, and his first encounter with Bond is enough to make you laugh one moment then squirm the next. – Digital Spy
Ultimately, Mendes delivers an assured, accomplished Bond film that stands somewhere between delivering what the public expects from a Bond film and creating something original and new. His Bond is certainly more nuanced and intricate and instilled with a sense of Britishness that befits 007′s fiftieth year on the screen. – MI6
Ably directed by Sam Mendes, Skyfall – the 23rd official 007 outing – is at its finest during a bruising, tumultuous opening half, fired by an electrifying pre-credits chase scene and a script that nods shrewdly to the Wikileaks furore. Cyber-terrorists have stolen a hard drive containing a complete list of Nato operatives that they proceed to leak online, in weekly instalments, five names at a time. – Guardian
One of the pleasures of Skyfall is the amount of screen time given to characters who in previous films have had only a marginal role. Dench's M in particular is foregrounded. She's at once a maternal figure and someone (we learn) who has behaved very ruthlessly towards her spies. Ralph Fiennes registers strongly as a bureaucratic type, breathing down her neck but with hidden reserves of courage. There is enjoyable banter, too, between Bond and Ben Whishaw's very youthful but very boffin-like Q. An added treat is Albert Finney as a bearded Scottish gamekeeper/vigilante. – Independent

The appraisers serve on four teams within the Assessor-Treasurer's office: residential, commercial, statistical and appeals. Each of them is Accredited by the Washington State Department of Revenue to evaluate property for tax purposes.

Columbia >Beauty > Shear Xpectations
136 Pelham Dr, Columbia, SC | Directions 2920933.981522 -80.965897
Neighborhoods: East & Southern
Just moved to Columbia in November and I was in desperate need to get my color done. I found great reviews about Shear Xpectations so I thought it was worth a shot. When I called, the receptionist was very friendly, and set me up with a great colorist Blair. She was super friendly, listened to what I wanted, and very informative on what I could do to maintain healthy hair. Like many other experiences that I have had she was the first stylist who didn't over process my hair. The outcome was PERFECT! I def have rebooked with her! So she's officially my go to no matter what!!
Blair is AWESOME – I love Shear X and I especially love my stylist Blair! I am very picking when it comes to my hair and Blair always knows just what to do. I would not trust anyone else with my hair. I always like to change up my styles and go from one extreme to the other by being really blonde or dark brown long or short and whatever it is I am always satisfied with the work that she does. I have a hairstylist for life.
Just the best – Love this salon!-
Everyone there is super friendly and helpful - they do everything they can do accommodate your schedule - and I have never had to wait more than 10 minutes when I arrive for any appointment.
I go to Blair and have been beyond thrilled with her cuts and color. I like as stylist who is honest when I ask her opinion and confident in her ability to give you what you want - and Blair is - in addition to being just a super friendly person.
I also see Bobbie for facials, etc. and she is amazing.
Blair is the best!!! Been looking around for a salon for awhile. So glad I found her! She is amazing at color!
FOUND SHANNON! – If you're looking for Shannon, you'll find her at Salon Bella on Forest Drive. The phone number is 790-7375.
I'm happy that I found where she is working now and know that many of you are tyring to find her! YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
BEST, BEST, BEST!!!! – BEST SALON EVER! I started going to Shear Xpectations from reading all their reviews on citysearch and almost everyone was right!.....(Not really sure what that benblalock was talking about). My number one person there is Blair. She is amazing, very sweet, and knows her color! I had my hair colored and cut there and dont think it has EVER looked this good. She is the BEST!!!!! All of the girls there are great. Very, Very nice! Couldn't have ask for a better place to go to get my hair done. Everyone better start going there!!! 10 STARS**********
I will not return to this establishment!!!! Pure snobbery!! – I have had my hair cut here one other time by Erica. She was very friendly. I was pleased with her work. Erica was why I decided to return to this shop, however, they actually do not take walk-ins. They claim they do. I came into the shop around 10 a.m. this morning. There was no at the front counter. The massage therapist came out from behind the curtain and offered to help me. I told her I would like my hair cut, and that I was a walk-in. She spoke with a female with dark hair that was pulled back. She seemed to have an attitude. The massage therapist told me that there was nobody to cut my hair, but at 10:30 she would have someone. She gave me a card for $5 off my return visit. I showed up right prior to 10:30. Blair (a stylist) and the female with dark hair were at the front counter. I told them I was told I could get my hair cut at 10:30. She told me she would see if she could find someone to do it. She and the girl with dark hair started whispering. Very rude. They left me sitting up front. Meanwhile, the stylist were in the back talking and cutting up. One was even cutting her bangs. The two snobs at the counter left me sitting. I asked for the owner. I told her what had occured and that I would not be back to her place. I informed her that just because a person is dressed a certain way does not mean they don't have money to spend in her shop. I was dressed down in jeans, a cap, and my old Army jacket from when I was enlisted. Make sure your dressed to the hilt to get good service at this place. The owner told me she was sorry, however, I just want others to be aware. Make sure you look like your somebody before going here. I guess money talks? Clothes or something does......... Customer service sure does not.
To comment to benlblalock – In response to your comment I shall say that I already apologized for what you felt was a bad experience to our business and I even called you after you left and I left you a message on your phone apologizing again and welcoming you back to our salon. I was shocked when you commented on your clothing because I thought that you looked fine. Most of all our clients wear jeans and we get lots of military in our salon so…in no way, shape or form do we discriminate against anyone especially based on how people dress. Our staff would NEVER refuse someone based on clothing. We have such a wide range of clientele form all over the Columbia area. From what I recall of the situation we made an appointment for you welcoming you to our business. We never told you that we could not cut your hair. You have been to our salon before and you stated that you were pleased with your service so I am confused why you would want to write something like this about us. Sometimes our front desk staff has to step away from the desk from time to time to do other work related things for our business like sweeping hair etc., so our massage therapist was filling in for our receptionist for a minute. And YES!!! We DO take walk-ins. Any one is welcome to walk-in to buy product or to speak to our front desk staff or any of the other employees to discuss haircuts , color etc. We don't like for people to have to wait if they don't have an appointment so if you are a walk- in with out an appointment and need any service that we offer, we will let you know at that point if we can or can not take you at that time and schedule a time for you to come back. So we scheduled for you to come in at 10:30 so yes, you had to wait for a couple of minutes. I am sorry about that, it was the best that we can do. The reason why the girls let you sit up front and wait is because they knew that you were waiting to be seen by one of the other stylist who was not ready to see you yet. Trust me to say that the girls that were whispering up front were not whispering anything negative about you. And about the people in the back that you said were cutting up..i am confused about that comment because if you were referring to my cleaning staff, nail tech and esthetician. …they don't have a license to cut hair so they couldn't have taken you for a haircut and yes they are fun girls to talk with so they were just chatting with each other. Trust me to say that we definitely wanted your business and I feel like this was a big misunderstanding. I can't change your opinion on our salon but we do care about our clients and that is why we gave you a coupon when you walked in and that is why we called you and left a message on your phone. Sorry for your troublesome experience. –Shear Xpectations management
NO! NO! NO! – Terrible haircut!!! I asked for long layers and what i got was big chunks...It looks like Edward Scissor hands got a hold of me. Instead of gradual layering it looks like one giant step on the back of my head. She used a razor the entire time (no scissors, no texturizing scissors) to butcher my beautiful, long hair. Now I will have to battle the frizzies everyday and wait months and months for my hair to look good again. The only thing I left the salon with was shear disappointment and regret!
Love it! – I went to different places constantly trying to find a stylist that actually listed to what i wanted and made my hair look great. I finally found that in Blair! She's very consistent in remembering what i want every 6-8 weeks. She's also honest enough to tell you if she thinks a certain style will look good on you or not. Decent prices: I get color, highlights, and a cut for about $130.

MARQUETTE - The Marquette Sentinels Under-19 AA girls hockey team posted a win, loss and tie in a three-game series against the Sault Ste. Marie Wildcats, a Bantam team, in Marquette last weekend.
The Sentinels opened with a 4-3 victory on Saturday afternoon even though they fell behind three times during the game.
The Soo led 1-0, 2-1 and 3-2 before goals by Marquette's Kirsten Iwanski in the first period, Allison Carlson in the second and Brock Neslon in the third each tied the game. Assists on those goals were credited to Melissa Casey, Sydney Cornock and Iwanski.
But with 1:40 left to play, Iwanski scored her second goal on a feed from Montana Viitala for the game-winner.
Hannah Riesland stopped 31 of 34 shots to earn the victory in the Sentinels' net.
Game 2 on Saturday evening ended in a 0-0 tie as Marquette's Carley Maanika stopped all 19 shots she faced and the Wildcats' Cody Deevey turned away each of the 35 shots Marquette took.
Game 3 was a 1-0 win for the Soo despite Marquette's 40-22 shots-on-goal advantage as Riesland and Maanika split goaltending duties in the Sentinels net.
Marquette returns to action the first weekend in November for the Icebreaker Cup in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario.

...because education is key to success
The latest in a series about the value of League membership
The League's in-person, telephone and online programs better equipped credit unions' front line staff, board members, and management to fulfill their roles. In 2013 we:
"We've made learning as convenient and cost effective as possible for busy professionals facing a strict budget," said Jennifer Esser, Director of Education for The League. "Most of our training is online and because of our archive, available 24/7. We also strive to offer discounts and freebies to encourage participation where it might not otherwise be possible."
For example, The League's state Government Affairs Conference in Madison Feb. 12 will again offer $99 registration – close to half off the regular price – for young professionals ages 35 and younger and staff with active Members' Conduit Accounts. One free registration is available to credit unions offering Payroll Deduction and another free registration is available to credit unions that add five new employees to Payroll Deduction before January 11.

Simply Salad boasts more than 40 salad odd-ons. When lunchtime rolls around, there's no end to boring, unhealthy options. There are burgers, Chinese takeout, pizza, sandwiches, and plenty of other ways to put yourself into a food coma via a sad desk lunch even before you hit the 3 p.m. wall. But according to The New York Times, it's chopped salad that reigns supreme in the Northeast, and the trend is making its way across the country.
RELATED: 10 Most Pointless Salad Ingredients
From Chop't to Just Salad to Saladworks and even to Subway, every week it seems like another chain comes along to offer us even more chopped salad options. But which one is the best? We put the country's most popular chopped salad chains to the test, and one emerged as a clear winner.Sometimes a salad is the perfect way to get your lunch on. Vegetables for health and wellness, protein to fill you up, and enough food to nix your hunger but not put you in a food coma are all good reasons to consider it. Plus, in mixed company, salads are allergy- and vegan/vegetarian-friendly. Everyone wins!
RELATED: 10 Easy Salad Recipes Worthy of a Meal
Salads chopped to oblivion might sound kind of weird, but hear us out! Chopping the salad with a mezzaluna (a crescent moon-shaped blade with two handles, rocked >over produce to chop it) allows all the pieces to get coated evenly in your dressing, provides you with bite-sized pieces that are easy to eat, and allows you to get a bite of each topping in each bite. Some argue that the ideal salad is one in which there are large chunks of every component, so you can mix and match the flavors and textures with every bite, but the fact remains that there are lots of people who have jumped on the chopped salad bandwagon, and probably eat one every day of the week.
As the popularity of chopped salads has increased, the number of places that offer them has expanded nationwide. Some of the most recognizable names, Chop't and Saladworks, have gone viral up the East Coast and beyond, while many remain regional favorites. We have ranked some of the most popular chains according to pricing (using the most popular pre-made salad, chicken Caesar), variety of add-ons, chopping method, customization, and green-ness of the chain.
RELATED: 5 Tricks For Slimming Down Salads
5) Fresh & Co
Fresh & Co has tons of lettuce choices for build your owns, including mesclun mix, baby spinach, Italian blend, iceberg, Oriental blend, romaine hearts, kale, and a romaine/kale blend. Thirty-one simple add-ons are offered, along with 22 premium and 12 proteins, and you get four to start. They also have 10 signature predesigned salads and rotate three seasonal choices. But where Fresh & Co started to lose points was with the price. Meats and proteins tacked on an additional $2.75 to $3.95 per item, which seemed excessive. This option isn't terribly cost-effective and if you are looking to build a custom, filling salad with a lot of protein, you might want to check your other options. However, their salads sound delicious and if you choose a pre-designed option you might do better. If you're looking for a lower-calorie option, the Asian Chop-Chop checks in at 314 calories, while the California Cobb is a little heftier at 629 calories. Our trusty chicken Caesar showed up at Fresh & Co for $9.75, since you have to purchase the chicken separately.
4) Chop Stop
Skipping to the left coast, Los Angeles boasts its own answer to the chopped salad craze called Chop Stop. Their chicken Caesar will run you $8.49 (we're guessing they charge extra for the sunny weather?) or you can pick from 13 other pre-planned salads. If you'd rather get more creative, you have four lettuce options and 42 add-ons, including more fruit than any other option (strawberries? Yes please!). You are also allowed to pick six add-ons to start, which seems generous to us! Those wanting light fare would do well to choose the 290-calorie Greek Chop, while those with a heartier appetite might like the 900-calorie Chop-Zilla. A huge point in Chop Stop's favor is their eco-friendly approach to packaging their food. The salads are packaged in 100 percent compostable containers, the cutlery is made from plant starch, and the to-go bags are Earth-friendly.

3) Just Salad
Just Salad, with locations in New York and Hong Kong, offers up a range of chopped salads, wraps, smoothies and frozen yogurt. Your "chef-designed" Caesar salad will cost you $7.29, or you can pick from 13 other pre-designed salads or four seasonal creations. If you choose the make-your-own route, you have seven lettuces to pick from including baby spinach, romaine, iceberg, mesclun, kale, red cabbage, and arugula (points for more options!). You get four regular toppings (or if you use their eco-friendly reusable bowl, you get two extra or a cheese!), with extras coming in at $0.59 each. They also offer six premium toppings, seven protein options, three seafood options, and eight cheeses. The variety offered for these mezzaluna-chopped salads bumped them up high in our books.
2) Saladworks
Saladworks is an institution in the salad-for-lunch world. Founded in 1986, it quickly started outselling the burger and pizza joints in the mall where it started. A chicken Caesar salad will run you $8.29 and is one of 13 pre-designed salads on the menu. If you want to build your own masterpiece, you have three lettuce options and get five toppings included in the $8.69 build-your-own price, with each extra goodie costing you $0.99. If you're looking for a light lunch, the Greek salad comes in at just less than 190 calories, but a more robust choice would be the Fire Roasted Cabo Jack, coming in at about 390 calories. While the website doesn't specify whether any of the food offerings are organic, the company does have a new eco-friendly approach to some of their stores, including bamboo flooring, LEED-approved recycled vinyl walls, fluorescent and LED lighting, and live herbs in pots. Yelpers also approve, noting the cleanliness of the restaurants and the freshness of the ingredients.
RELATED: 9 Sexy Whole-Grain Salads for Summer
1) Chop't
Chop't, arguably the most recognizable chopped salad chain in America, comes in number one on our list. The price point is reasonable, with a chicken Caesar salad running you $7.09. When you build your own salad, you have five kinds of lettuce to choose from, and a list of more than 50 add-ons. The first four add-ons are free, and you get one mezzaluna-chopped lettuce and one dressing. The sheer number of Chop't outposts in both New York City and Washington, D.C., is a big point in its favor, making it a convenient stop for a healthy meal. The calorie loads are lower than some other chains, with the high being their Cobb salad at 670 calories, and the low being their Palm Beach Shrimp salad at 240 calories. While they don't specify if they use organic produce, they do note on their website that they use locally sourced vegetables when necessary and use "responsibly raised" chicken and turkey. You also get a great amount of variety, since there are 11 chef-designed salads and three rotating seasonal salads.

I am very thrilled with the effects after using your Aqua-Rite product for just 12 weeks. I hope that this will continue...—Gregory
What is Aqua-Rite?
Aqua-Rite is a 100% safe, non-addictive natural herbal remedy formulated by our team of natural health experts. Aqua-Rite has been used for many years to safely maintain fluid balance in the body to discourage water retention.
Aqua-Rite supports routine water balance in the body, thereby helping to support balance in all cells and organs of the body. Aqua-Rite can make all the difference, without compromising health and without side effects.
By assisting the body's natural water elimination process naturally, Aqua-Rite also helps to support all systems of the body, including cardiovascular health, energy levels and feelings of well-being.
The formula remains true to the whole spectrum method, ensuring the bio-availability and balance of all the active ingredients contained in the remedy. This method of manufacture also significantly reduces the likelihood of side effects and maintains all active ingredients in perfect balance – exactly as nature intended!
Support water balance in the body
Maintaining healthy water balance in the body is of vital importance to health. As the human body uses water for many biological processes, healthy fluid levels are necessary for bodily systems to function effectively, from the cardiovascular system to the immune system.
When this water balance is disrupted and water retention occurs, many people turn to diuretics to treat it. However diuretics can have many ill effects on health, in addition to usually only providing temporary results without addressing the true problem.
The natural way
A healthy body regulates its water balance on a cellular level, thus ensuring health and systemic equilibrium. Drinking 8 glasses of water a day and reducing the daily intake of salt and caffeine can go a long way in supporting healthy fluid balance in the body. Natural remedies have been used in traditional medicine for thousands of years to support water balance.
In more recent times, research has confirmed this traditional wisdom. There are now many published clinical studies demonstrating the ability of a range of herbs to support balanced fluid levels in the body.

Aqua-Rite is a 100% herbal formula and contains the following ingredients in therapeutic dosage: Buchu, Dandelion, Olive leaf.
- Buchu (Agathosma betulina) supports the body's natural ability to rid itself of toxins by supporting the secretion of retained water. (Simpson D. Buchu – South Africa's amazing herbal remedy. Scott Med J 1998; 43: 189-91 (review). (Didry N, Pinkas M. A propos du Buchu. Plantes M éd et Phytoth ér 1982; 16: 249-52).
- Dandelion (Taraxacum officinalis) contains bitter principles that have a supportive effect on the liver and digestive system by supporting the flow of bile. It is also a very rich source of vitamins and minerals, including Vitamin A, D, C, various B Vitamins, iron, lecithin, silicon, potassium, magnesium, zinc and manganese. Dandelion supports the routine excretion of retained water and is also considered to be an excellent cleansing tonic for the liver. Studies have investigated this herb for its ability to support urine production and excretion. (Rácz-Kotilla E, Rácz G, Solomon A. "The action of Taraxacum officinale extracts on the body weight and diuresis of laboratory animals." Planta Med. 1974 Nov;26(3):212-7.)
- Olive leaf (Olea europea) is well known for its supportive action in maintaining normal range for blood pressure, healthy circulation and balanced blood sugar levels. Components of olive leaf extract have powerful antioxidant activity and studies have demonstrated that Olea europea relaxes the blood vessels. (Khayyal MT, el-Ghazaly MA, Abdallah DM, Nassar NN, Okpanyi SN, Kreuter MH. "Blood pressure lowering effect of an olive leaf extract (Olea europaea) in L-NAME induced hypertension in rats". Arzneimittelforschung. 2002;52(11):797-802. PMID: 12489249). It has also been studied for its ability to support cell integrity. (O'Brien NM, Carpenter R, O'Callaghan YC, O'Grady MN, Kerry JP. "Modulatory effects of resveratrol, citroflavan-3-ol, and plant-derived extracts on oxidative stress in U937 cells." Department of Food and Nutritional Sciences, University College Cork, Cork, Republic of Ireland. J Med Food. 2006 Summer;9(2):187-95.)

Ziggy Dick's BBQ Cook-Off 2011
Barbecue competition heats up at Collier festival
Sunday through Friday, Mac McLaughlin doesn't want anything to do with barbecued meat.
"I won't go near the stuff," he says emphatically.
But come weekends, this jovial 71-year-old Tampa man gets more than his fill of barbecued chicken, pork and beef while working as a volunteer judge for barbecue competitions throughout the state of Florida.
"I do this just about every weekend during the season," McLaughlin said, explaining that barbecue season is anytime is isn't too hot or too cold to cook outdoors.
McLaughlin was one of the 41 judges who participated in the inaugural Ziggy Dick's BBQ Cook-Off and Festival, held last Friday and Saturday at the Collier Country Fairgrounds.
"For a first year, this was an excellent contest," McLaughlin said of the festival that attracted 41 professional cooking teams and about 3,500 visitors.
This sentiment was echoed by professional cooks, brothers Rick and Tony Wolfe of Orlando, who called the event "top notch" and acknowledged that, "The Rotary Club did it right."
The festival was sponsored by the Rotary Club of Naples Bay and was sanctioned by the Florida Barbecue Association (FBA). The fundraiser featured live music, a bounce house for kids, plenty of mouth-watering food from contestants and vendors, and $15,000 in prize money. Proceeds from the event will benefit Polio Plus, the Gift of Life programs and scholarship money for local high school students.
The prize money was a big draw for a lot of contestants, but it wasn't the only reason they came. Joe Mazzillo, captain of the Orlando team Smokin' 'n Drinkin', has been competing in barbecue contests for 12 years. He says they are "… all about family and friends having fun, eating good food."
Bob Barr, also from Smokin' 'n Drinkin', formerly known as Harvest Hogs, agrees.
"There's a lot of good camaraderie here," he said.
Indeed, for most of the judges, volunteers and contestants, the festival seemed to be as much about the people as it was about the food.
Judges like McLaughlin, who are certified by the FBA, receive no compensation for their time or travel expenses. But McLaughlin does it because "it's fun and I enjoy the people."
First time competitor Mike Russell, owner of Travelin' Blues BBQ in Cape Coral, admitted that, at first, he felt intimidated by all the experienced professionals in the competition. But once he met his competitors, he found them all to be pretty nice. Many even offered the novice competitor cooking tips.
Friendly as they are, there are still a lot of cooking techniques and ingredients these cooks and teams won't share. Many competitors use secret rubs and sauces that they've spent years perfecting.
Dana Hillis, 51, owner of Big Papa's Country Kitchen in Naples, claims the key to his success is "in the rubs and sauces, and, of course, the cooking." And he should know. Big Papa's won the coveted FBA Team of the Year in 2010 and National BBQ's Best of the Best in 2008 and 2010. He's participated in more than 75 contests in the last 4 years and has learned to adjust his recipes for regional differences. He finds that Floridians like their sauces a little sweeter, while people in Georgia and Alabama tend to like their sauces a little tangier.
Todd Noon, 42, from Sanibel Island team Boss Hog, uses a three-part rub that he contends is "the best of all the regions." Noon says the secret to a good barbecue is "a good rub, a great sauce, and a lot of time on the smoker." Noon has been cooking since he was 8 years old and previously did competition cooking for Michelbob's. He now leads his own team and is developing his own line of rubs and sauces. He proudly proclaims, "Most people say our ribs are like candy."
Each contestant had a chance to participate in any or all of four competition categories: chicken, pulled or sliced pork, ribs, and beef brisket. To compete for Grand Champion, teams had to enter all four categories. The first ever $2,500 grand prize went to Florida Boys BBQ. The Grand Reserve Prize went to Big Bad Wolf BBQ.
Event organizer and president of the Naples Bay Rotary, Roger "Ziggy" Dick, hopes to make the Ziggy Dick BBQ Cook-Off and Festival an annual event, which should please judges, contestants and spectators alike.
As Paul Genco, 69, of Naples, said between bites, "The ribs were darn good," and "I would definitely come back."

The worldwide featherweight rankings were shaken up this weekend as Hatsu Hioki upset Nova Uniao knockout artist Marlon Sandro yesterday at Sengoku: Soul of Fight. Not to be outdone, Hiroyuki Takaya proved that he was the better fighter in a rematch of the DREAM Featherweight Grand Prix final as he edged out Bibiano Fernandes in a narrowly contested affair at K-1's Dynamite!! 2010 New Year's Eve card.
In what turned out to be a surprisingly one-sided affair, Japanese lightweight kingpin Tatsuya Kawajiri dominated Josh Thomson over the course of three rounds with impressive wrestling ability and smothering control on the ground.
Alistair Overeem vs. Todd Duffee - Brutal KO at K-1 Dynamite!! 2010.
In one of the more drawn out battles on the K-1 Dynamite!! 2010 New Year's Eve card, former UFC fighter Jason High used superior wrestling and strength to out work and out grapple Japanese legend Hayato "Mach" Sakurai.
In an one-sided welterweight title showdown, Kazushi Sakuraba was unable to make it out of the first round after DREAM Welterweight champion Marius Zaromskis punched Sakuraba's inflated cauliflower ear, causing it to spew blood.
As most fans expected, Alistair Overeem proved once again that he is the alpha male of MMA's heavyweight division as he made quick work of former UFC veteran Todd Duffee at K-1's Dynamite!! 2010 New Year's Eve event this morning.
When the restrictions came out regarding the DREAM/K-1 mixed rules contest between DREAM champion Shinya Aoki and K-1 MAX competitor Yuichiro Nagashima hit the wire, it was safe to say that Aoki would do anything to avoid standing with Nagashima in the opening three-minute round under K-1 rules. Aoki took that to a whole new level at K-1 Dynamite!! 2010 this morning.
Most MMA and K-1 fans didn't give former Strikeforce light heavyweight champion Gegard Mousasi much of a chance when his K-1 Rules battle with Keijiro Maeda was officially announced. After all, K-1 is Kyotaro's world, and Mousasi had been busy honing his craft within the context of mixed martial arts.
Join us here at BloodyElbow.com on Friday, December 31st at 4:00 AM EST for live results and commentary of K-1's Dynamite!! New Year's Eve extravaganza. The event will air live on HDNet at that time, so join us for a few laughs, some great mixed martial arts action, and live discussion among our community.

401 7th Ave, New York, NY | Directions 1000140.750023 -73.991242
Daily 24 Hours
Neighborhoods: Chelsea, Midtown
Would not stay again- just okay – When I walked into the lobby of this hotel I thought I had walked into the wrong place. It looked like an airport. There were hundreds of people! There were easily 80-100 people in the sitting area with luggage. There were about 50 people in line to check in. There were people everywhere. After waiting 20 minutes I finally checked in, though when I saw the sign that said "portable smoke detectors available" I hesitated. The room was a decent size for NY standards. The 2 double beds were not the worst I've slept on but not the best. The heater/AC unit did not work- fortunately it was spring and I didn't need either. The phone didn't work in the room or in the common area near the elevators. There was no ice bucket and I had to wait 40 minutes for one. The blow dryer didn't work- my replacement never came. The window opened- I was shocked- but there was no screen. The TV had basic channels. The room was very old and outdated but I will say it did not smell at ALL. The bathroom was so old and pretty nasty. Layers of dust and grime on everything. Not a very good cleaning crew here! Only thing offered was shampoo and bar soap. When I called asking for a wine opened I was told they are not a full service hotel. There are a few little stores in the lobby. There are 2 restaurants but I did not eat at either. Not the worst hotel but far from the best. I paid $200- next time I'll pay a little more for a better place.
good & quiet hotel – NY for sure is not 5 star but anyhow good value for money. located on main street of town it is easy to reach by all means of transport, incl walking. It's a great hotel but if any of you are looking to save some $$ then book it at SweetHotelDeals.us They usually have some pretty good deals on there!
Very good hotel – I found my stay in the hotel last week a really great experience. The location could not of been any better it was so central to everything in New York. It's a great hotel but if any of you are looking to save some $$ then book it at SweetHotelDeals.us They usually have some pretty good deals on there!
Fantastic Everything – The hotel was clean, the front desk and temporary luggage storage staff were extremely kind and helpful, our room on the 12th floor was great, and the hotel's location is simply fantastic. We stayed in a Penn 5000 room, so we had complimentary breakfast (bagels, pastries, and oj) every morning and coffee, tea, and hot chocolate, and Internet access 24 hours per day. I have absolutely no complaints.
Friendly, Efficient, and Helpful – The hotel staff is friendly, efficient, and helpful...all in a way that prevents a huge hotel from being impersonal.
Very Satisfied – Came in town for the weekend. We are very satisfied with Pennsylvania Hotel. Our room was very comfortable. The hotel location is really good. Staff was great, our room was kept clean and we were even given an upgrade when the Internet wasn't working in my room.
Very Convenient – This hotel was perfectly located next to Penn Station and was very convenient for my husband and me. Bathroom was clean and had good water pressure.
Off the Chart! – The service was amazing from beginning to end. The staff here is off the chart with wonderful personalities. They are genuinely welcoming, gracious and intelligent. I cannot wait to come back!
My fiance and I spent Valentine's day in the city and spent our evening here. This place is beautiful, very comfortable and posh, the kind of thing you want for a romantic weekend. The room was extremely clean, well decorated and comfortable and the bathroom was huge. It was exactly what you'd want. Fabulous!

C's sign two more thugs Williams and Crawford??
posted at 2/22/2013 10:58 AM EST
What is it with Ainge he keeps bringing in players with bad attitudes who have been bad apples on other teams. Crawford is a gunner who has to have the ball, non team player, plays no D and displays a temper tantrum if he sits on the bench to long.
Williams had to go to China to find work, no NBA team wanted him because of his poor work habbits, turnover machine and poor shot selection.
I had to laugh when poster after poster mentioned Danny taking an international guy? Or Redick? We all know Danny likes athletes with very questionable attitudes.
This should be fun watching this 500 team with out a big man, Garnett gets hurt and the C's are done.

They're not thugs, just hard headed. Hopefully Doc, KG, and PP can get through to them and buy into the Celtic concept. I live in the DC area and Crawford is a streaky shooter. Even though he was playing for a pitiful Wizards team. When he gets hot he can light them up. He has to learn how to play defense.

No being black does not make you a thug. Crawford and Williams are bad team players,gunners,have bad attitudes,play poor defense and come across as bad apples.
Many white players are also thugs, Bill Lambeer was a thug.
Ainge and Rivers refuse to take any international guys knowing Garnett dosn't like to play with any.

According to runrun, the Celtics should be spending all their scouting dollars looking for a none black player and one that is below 6'3" or above 6'9" (apparently the Celtics have cornered the market on 6'3" - 6'9" players). They should be looking for a guy that has never spoken his mind and is so unselfish he will have a hard time feeding himself because he is always worried about other people. Our target player should be preferably a Euro but will take Mexican and/or philippino if they're lite skinned.
Runrun wouldn't it be easier if Danny just asked San Antonio if we could borrow Genobli for a couple years?

From RD9:
Brett Morris wrote:BREAKING NEWS
Oregon State Representative David Gomberg announced this week that special – no-cost – "permits" are now available for flying larger kites at the D River Wayside in Lincoln City.
New beach rules were adopted in 2012 which generally allow unrestricted kite flying. But park administrators continued to express concerns about large kites in crowded areas.
"For the past two years, we've been working with Parks to allow larger kites to be flown at popular wayside parks. The Parks Department originally wanted formal permits, fees, and insurance waivers. But after meeting with the Department director, we seem to have resolved all these issues." said Gomberg's office.
Larger kites are now being defined as those over 100 square feet.
A "Large Kite Permit" lists flying rules which include using adequate anchors, marking lines, and not leaving kites unattended. Fliers are asked to pick up a form copy and have it available when on the beach. A second copy is kept for Parks files. Forms are available from the Parks Department, Visitor Center, or Northwest Winds Kite Store. There is no permit fee.
Forms are not required on other beaches or wayside parks.
"I really encourage fliers to file these simple forms" said Gomberg. "This allows us to demonstrate that there is ongoing interest in larger kites in Lincoln City, and that they are being flown safely and responsibly."
The D River Wayside is the most popular and visible beach wayside in Oregon. It has also long been a recognized location for showcasing larger kites and is the site of two long-running kite festivals. David Gomberg is past president of the American Kitefliers Association and owner of the Northwest Winds stores on the Oregon Coast. In 2012, he was elected to represent the Central Coast in the Oregon Legislature.
A big thanks goes out to David and Susan Gomberg for all of their support and involvement in the above events.
