Rialto also known as "Bridge City" features a somewhat cooler version of a Mediterranean climate which may be characterized as a Continental Mediterranean climate, which is known for wet, cool to chilly winters (frost is typical during this time of year) with hot, dry summers.
The particularly arid climate during the summer prevents tropospheric clouds from forming, meaning temperatures rise to what is considered Class Orange by the scientists at NOAA. Rialto gets an average of 16 inches (410 mm) of rain, hail, or light snow showers each year; most of this rainfall precipitates in winter. During winter, Rialto's northern-most neighborhood gets snow, heavily at times as a result of its elevation of about 3,000 feet (910 m) above sea level. However, most of city is out of snowfalls' path.
The seasonal Santa Ana winds are felt particularly strongly in not only Rialto but the greater San Bernardino area as warm and dry air is channeled through nearby Cajon Pass at times during the autumn months. This phenomenon markedly increases the wildfire danger in the foothill, canyon, and mountain communities that the cycle of cold wet winters and dry summers helps create.
Rialto is located at 34°6′41″N 117°22′57″W / 34.11139°N 117.38250°W (34.111360, −117.382403)[5].

Ancient artifacts discovered by archaeologists suggest that what is now the city of Rialto was settled prior to 1500.[14] Such artifacts, now found at the Rialto Historical Society, indicate that the Serrano Indians lived in the Rialto area between 1500 and 1800 AD.[15] There is no indication as to where these Indians went or why.[15]
In 1842, the Lugo family was granted the Rancho San Bernardino-a holding of 37,700 acres-which encompassed Rialto.[16] In 1851, the Mountain Family[citation needed] purchased part of the Lugo family's Rancho San Bernardino,[16] and claimed several other portions of the bench which later became known as Rialto. This claim was later amended by the United States Government, permitting them a smaller fraction of the initial purchase.[17]
An adobe building from the early 19th century which was used for many purposes over the years, is the oldest building still standing in Rialto and stands restored in Bud Bender Park, formerly known as "Lilac Park".[18] The City of Rialto leases the house and a small portion of park land to the Rialto Historical Society for $1 annually.
In 1887 a railroad connector line was built between San Bernardino and Pasadena by the Santa Fe Railroad.[14] Along the line, townsites were located every 2,600 yards (2,400 m) and by the fall of that year over 25 new towns were being built. This same year the Semitropic Land and Water Company was formed to organize the purchase and selling of real estate, water, and water rights and privileges.[14]
In the fall of 1888, the first school was built and Brooke School District was formed.[19] Records show[citation needed] that up until 1920, the Brooke School District was in continuous operation, except for a very short time in 1888. The prominent Rialto Trapp family bought the first school house in 1921, remodeled the building, and members of the family resided in it until it was destroyed by fire. The Rialto School District (today Rialto Unified School District), was formed in 1891. The staff consisted of two teachers and a principal with separate play areas for the boys and girls.
The Chamber of Commerce was established in 1907.[14] The Chamber incorporated in the spring of 1911.[14] By 1911 the population had grown to 1,500 with 40 businesses and a local newspaper. The election results on October 31 of the same year were 135 for the incorporation of the city and 72 against.[14]
Foothill Boulevard was repaired in 1913 and became U.S. Route 66 a section of the US highway system.[14] In 1914 Los Angeles' Pacific Electric Railway completed its San Bernardino Line through the City of Rialto, with a junction at Riverside Avenue for the Riverside Line. Today the Tracks above First Street are a part of the Union Pacific and the Pacific Electric depot on Riverside Avenue is Cuca's Restaurant.[18]
A fire in the 1920s swept through and destroyed many of the buildings in the downtown area.[14]
Rialto's population growth had increased to 3,156 by 1950. In 1956 the population soared to 15,359. By 1964 it showed increase to 23,290 and 33,500 in 1978. Rialto is 4 miles (6.4 km) wide and 8.5 miles (13.7 km) long. Rialto's population grew from 80,000 in 1994 to over 91,873 in 2000.
Governance and Management
Management Structure 2012 In 2011, City Administrator Mike Story consolidated various department head positions in an effort to save resources.

Rialto is served by the Rialto Unified School District. It has a Christian School called Bloomington Christian School on Bloomington Avenue for junior high and high school. It also has a preschool and elementary hosted by Calvary Chapel Rialto. Rialto is also home to a private Catholic school (Preschool thru 8th grade). St. Catherine of Siena Parish School is located on Sycamore Avenue, just off Foothill Boulevard. The western portion of Rialto is served by Fontana Unified School District[20] while the southern portion of Rialto is served by Colton Joint Unified School District.
In 1994, the Rialto Western Little League hosted the Southern California Championship for the Major Division, in which the winner went on to participate in the Regional Tournament. The winner was Northridge City Little League who went on to play in the Little League World Series in South Williamsport, Pennsylvania. The Tournament was held at Lilac Park, now known as Bud Bender Park.
In the news
Water controversy
In the late 1990s, local water officials discovered perchlorate contamination in the city's drinking water supply that contained as much as 800 times the recommended limit according to safety recommendations issued in other states.[21]
The contaminant, which has seeped into several of the town's drinking water wells, is the subject of lawsuits by the city of Rialto against 42 parties, including Goodrich Corporation and Black & Decker, the US Department of Defense, and the San Bernardino County.[22] Both companies, most likely under contract with the Department of Defense, operated weapons manufacturing facilities which used massive quantities of rocket fuel.
After many years of negotiations, Goodrich Corporation and Black & Decker still have not agreed to clean toxic waste from the environment in northern Rialto. Studies have shown that perchlorate consumption, at the levels measured in the affected wells, can lead to medical issues.[citation needed] Perchlorate exposure can harm iodine uptake into the thyroid.[23]
With several other wells unusable due to contamination,[24] the drought-prone city teeters on the brink of running out of water.[24]
2005 recall election
On September 13, 2005 the Rialto city council voted to dissolve the Rialto Police Department and replace it with a contract with the San Bernardino County sheriff's department. Soon after the vote, a San Bernardino County court issued an injunction on the change because the vote was done in secret.[citation needed] As a result two city council members, Ed Scott and Winfred Lee Hansen, were up for recall.[25] In March 2006, city leaders decided to keep the Police Department.[26]
Movie industry
The local Interstate 210 between Alder Ave and Linden Ave has been filmed for movies and TV.
The movie Transformers, 2007 Fox television show, Drive, the freeway scenes in The Hangover, Due Date, and several commercials by UPS and car ads have been shot there.
The television show, Fear Factor, used a portion of the then uncompleted highway 210 in Rialto for one of their notably-extreme stunts.

Toledo >Wholesale Foods > Bulkfoods.com
3040 Hill Ave, Toledo, OH | Directions 4360741.638321 -83.615742
Neighborhoods: Scott Park
Kay D. I have been ordering from this company for years. I have been 100% satisfied with quality,prices and customer service. I couldn't ask for anything better. My family orders from this Co. as well. Recommend them highly.
I, too have had a very bad experience with bulkfoods.com.
The shop appears to have been taken over by an evil cabal of nasty adolescents. They goofed up my order, and after 3 HOURS of phone calls and emails on my part, they admitted, backhandedly, that they were at fault, and then they stated their intention to deduct $10 from my refund for a "cancellation fee". WTF.
I reported this to my bank; they have reversed the charges.
I had been a 100% Satisfied Customer since 2004.
Unless something radically changes, and for the better, I will no longer be doing business with BulkFoods.com.
Just as an FYI, here is a link I found to look for other bulk foods purveyors: http://www.top20sites.com/Top-Bulk-Foods-Sites. BulkFoods is on the list; it does not count.
Tastful products for great prices! – When I first saw thier website I couldn't believe thier prices and all the variety they had in prodcuts. I thought to myself this has to be too good to be true! Not only was I amazed at how terrrific thier prices were I also recieved my order very fast and it was recieved in perfect condition. It had to be shipped the same day I placed the order. Not only was the prodcut how I expected but everything was so fresh and delicous. I can't wait to place another order! BulkfoodsDOTcom is truley a terrific company thier prices are amazing, they have a great variety of products, and the quality of the products is excelltent as well. I will defanitly tell my family and friends about this company.
Great pricing – Bulk Foods has great prices on bulk items such as nuts and seeds! I'm so glad to have found a place with bulk nuts and such competitive pricing. I can get the things I need, have them shipped to my door, and not worry about going over my budget. -Janet
Great dry food selection! – I ordered dried coconut and Medjool dates from Bulk Foods to make homemade granola, and I was so surprised to see all the options they have. They even have dried fruit without sulfur or added sugar for those of us trying to follow a healthy diet. Thank you! -Angela
Fast Delivery – I ordered 5 pounds of pistachios and was very pleased with the service and quality. They arrived at my door in less than 48 hours and that wasn't even express delivery! The pistachios were fresh and delicious. In fact, the family consumed all 5 pounds over Christmas. I will certainly not hesitate to order again from Bulk Foods.
Restaurant's best supply company! – "My restaurant had gone through several suppliers for spices and cooking items until we found Bulk Foods. Now, I can order all the spices we needin bulk for a low cost. The service is always prompt and we've never had a problem with the qualityof the products we recieve."
-Josh K.
I love the christmas tins!!! – Each Christmas our company sends gift tins to each employee. I was able to get all the gift tins we needed from Bulk Foods, and they even let me choose what items I wanted in each tin! Not only is the selection great, but the tins are beautiful.
Great Product and Price – I work in marketing, and often bring candy or nuts to my clients. After searching online for a company that sold candy and nuts in bulk, I found Bulk Foods! They have a wide variety of wrapped candies that are perfect for using as a token of appreciation to my clients. I was not able to find a better deal anywhere else
Horrendoud. Run away fast and far from Bulkfoodscom! – I placed an order for $102.14 on 05/26/2011 with BulkfoodsDOTcom. Just hours later, upon receipt of an email that it was ready to ship, I realized that they had input an incorrect SHIP TO address. I immediately called BulkfoodsDOTCOM to request that they correct the information before the order shipped, speaking with David who refused to help in any way because "we are going home for the day. We're closing" Though I stridently begged that he intercept the order before it shipped he would not help, but said they would fix it the next day. Next I emailed BulkfoodsDOTcom a detailed description identifying the problem, and the needed resolution. The next day BulkfoodsDOTcom responded via email saying that they were not going to rectify the problem, would ship to the address I had indicated, which is not true (see below), and that they would charge me to make any changes. I told them to cancel the order and refund my money which they have refused to do.
The representatives of BulkfoodsDOTcom were callous, unreceptive, and unwilling to hear or to help, though intervention on their part would have quickly resolved what is now a significant matter-- one in which I the consumer, and their would be customer, have been slighted and am being ask to bear the burden for multiple negligences on the part of BulkfoodsDOTcom.
I want the order cancelled and all monies paid refunded, but per the other Citysearch reviews, this may not be easy.

Mizzou basketball player arrested for second time this week
No. 11 Kentucky downs Mizzou
COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — Aaron Harrison scored 21 points and James Young added 20 to help Number 11 Kentucky beat Missouri 84-79 on Saturday.
The Wildcats (16-5, 6-2 Southeastern Conference) kept their poise one game after calling a player-only meeting to discuss the team's issues away from home.
Jabari Brown finished with a career-high 33 points and Jordan Clarkson scored 28 to keep Missouri (16-5, 4-4) in the game. Clarkson's layup with 51.9 seconds remaining narrowed the Tigers' deficit to 80-77, but Aaron Harrison answered with a layup 30 seconds later to end the threat.
Missouri's frontcourt offense only mustered three points in Columbia. The team fell to 43-3 at home under third-year coach Frank Haith, but has lost two of its last four.

Dennis Rodman Heads to North Korea to Visit His 'Friend' Kim Jong Un
SEOUL (ABC) - Former NBA star Dennis Rodman is on way to Pyongyang today for a five-day visit to meet North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, but the trip he said is not to free jailed American missionary Kenneth Bae.
"I'm going to North Korea to meet my friend, Kim," Rodman told reporters while transiting at Beijing's airport earlier today. "It's a friendly gesture."
Bae, currently serving a 15 year sentence of hard labor in North Korea, was arrested for attempting to overthrow the communist government. Negotiations for his release was canceled at the last minute by North Korea just before Robert King, U.S. special envoy on North Korean human rights issues, was to visit Pyongyang last week.
Pyongyang's excuse for the abrupt withdrawal was disapproval of the U.S. military participating in annual joint drills with South Korea.
Rodman, the first American to have met Kim in February, noted this trip is "another basketball diplomacy tour." His earlier visit had stunned the diplomatic world when very little was known about Kim Jong Un's personality.
The former basketball star was spotted hugging, drinking, and laughing with Kim who is known to have been a fan of Rodman from teenage years when he was educated in Switzerland. The trip had been organized by the cable channel Vice to promote an exhibition game and make a documentary.
Rodman has referred Kim as "an awesome kid" and gave lavish praises after spending time with him earlier this year.
Rodman said that Kim's father and grandfather Kim Jong Il and Kim Il Sung, "were great leaders," according to the Associated Press. "He's proud, his country likes him — not like him, love him, love him," Rodman said of Kim Jong Un. "Guess what, I love him. The guy's really awesome."
Jim Crews to be named SLU basketball head coach
Jim Crews served as the interim coach for the SLU Billikens men's basketball team.
Crews led the team to their first A-10 title in decades and a number 4 seed in the NCAA tournament.
The deal is reportedly long-term, but specifics have not been released.
Illinois loses bid for sweet 16 in final minutes against Miami
After Larkin's first field goal in about 9 1/2 minutes, D.J. Richardson missed a 3-pointer. In the fight for the rebound, the ball appeared to ricochet off the hands of Miami's Kenny Kadji out of bounds. But the Hurricanes kept the ball, and Durand Scott made two free throws after that.
Miami (29-6) is in the round of 16 for only the second time in school history. The Hurricanes play Marquette (25-8) in Washington D.C. on Thursday night.
Larkin, the only non-senior starter for Miami and the ACC player of the year, finished with 17 points. Rion Brown had 21 with five 3s.
Brandon Paul had 18 points for Illinois (23-13).
SLU grabs share of A-10 title
"It's never perfect, but that was fun to watch," interim Coach Jim Crews said after No. 16 Saint Louis trounced La Salle in the second half and clinched a share of the Atlantic 10 title with a 78-54 victory Saturday. "Really, they kept getting better and better, and that's unusual. That's very unusual."
Dwayne Evans had 16 points and 17 rebounds for Saint Louis, which led by just two points at halftime and then made 17 of 20 shots. Kwamain Mitchell had 19 points and six assists on senior day to help the Billikens (24-6, 13-3) win their first conference title since 1970-71 in the Missouri Valley and clinch the top seed in the A-10 Tournament next week in Brooklyn, N.Y.
"Everyone made plays," Mitchell said. "We kept pushing it and pushing it, and we came up with some great shots."
Rob Loe matched his career best with 20 points, hitting all seven shots. The Billikens shot 58 percent overall, one game after shooting a season-worst 30 percent in an overtime loss at Xavier.
"I couldn't be more pleased or proud or tickled for these guys to win a championship," Crews said. "It's hard to win a game, much less a championship."
Saint Louis has won 12 of its last 13 under Crews, who made it a smooth transition after taking over for the late Rick Majerus with no assurances past the end of the season. The Billikens can take the title outright if VCU loses at Temple today.
Seniors Cory Remeken, Cody Ellis and Mitchell were among the first to snip the nets.
"I'm sure he's proud right now," Ellis, an Australian import whose parents made the trip for the last two games, said in reference to Majerus. "He's watching this from somewhere. "
Tyrone Garland had 15 points off the bench for La Salle (21-8, 11-5). The Explorers entered the day in second place after winning seven of eight and had been 2-0 in the Chaifetz Arena before absorbing a 24-point loss that was the school's worst of the season.
"That was about as bad a beating as you could take in the second half," La Salle Coach John Giannini said. "I'm really disappointed with the way we played. They took it to us. They won a lot of individual battles — maybe all of them in the second half."
Ramon Galloway, who leads the Explorers with a 17.8-point average, was just 3 for 12 and had eight points.
SLU goes for first title in over 40 years
A return to form in the regular-season finale Saturday for Ellis greatly increases the odds for a school that's one win away from its first conference title in more than 40 years.
Ellis was 0 for 15 in an overtime loss Wednesday at Xavier, 11 of the misses from 3-point range. And with his parents right behind the bench after making the arduous, 40-hour globe-hopping trip to see the 6-foot-8 senior off in style, too.
"I'm just going to try to get it out of my head," Ellis said. "Probably next game, the law of averages says I should knock a couple down, eh?"
Ellis has made three or more 3-pointers nine times this season, including six at Fordham to tie his career best. He leads the team with 52 3-pointers and reasoned, "I've just got to stay confident."
Interim coach Jim Crews' advice at Xavier was simple: Fire away.
"I told him probably three times in the game to keep shooting," Crews said. "You're not going to pinch-hit for Pujols or Mantle or Musial or someone who's good, are you? If he's open, I want him shooting it."
Crews has kept the program built by the late Rick Majerus humming with the 16th-ranked Billikens (23-6, 12-3 Atlantic 10) tied for first place in the conference heading into the finale against La Salle (21-7, 11-4), which also has a title shot.
Saint Louis last earned at least a share of a conference regular season title in 1970-71, in the Missouri Valley. The last outright title was in 1956-57.
To accomplish that, the Billikens need a win coupled with a VCU loss against Temple.
Crews won four conference championships at Indiana as a player, including the Hoosiers' unbeaten season in 1976, but coaching has been a reality check. In 24 years at Evansville and Army, he produced four NCAA tournament teams.
"I'd say the majority of players go through college without a championship," Crews said. "This league has 16 teams and that body of work, you've got to earn it."
The opponent is no pushover. La Salle, which has won seven of eight, needs a win on Saturday and a VCU loss against Temple to take the championship.
La Salle has beaten two Top 25 teams and is 2-0 at Saint Louis' Chaifetz Center.
"It's a big game for La Salle, it's a big game for us," Crews said. "It would really be neat and cool for these kids, all the things they've been through, to win a championship."
That Saint Louis is NCAA tournament-bound for the second straight season after ending a 12-year drought last year is a given.
"When I first got here we were on the bottom of the league," senior reserve forward Cory Remekun said. "Now we're fighting for a championship. It's crazy to see how much we've improved."
The Xavier loss ended an 11-game winning streak for Saint Louis, which has had a season of high notes with one of the stingiest defenses in the country and a balanced attack with six players averaging seven or more points.
"Some of the guys I've played with have gone through a lot," said senior guard Kwamain Mitchell, who was suspended for a semester in 2010 and returned as a calming presence on the court. "I appreciate the opportunity to be a part of it and I'm going to leave everything on the court."
The three seniors plus Femi John, who had a career-ending knee injury a few seasons ago, will be honored after the game.
"It is emotional, should be emotional," Crews said. "Personally, I've always had a hard time with senior day. It's hard on the coaches, too."

HDMLHandheld Device Markup Language is used to format content for Web-enabled mobile phones. HDML is Openwave's (formerly known as phone.com) proprietary language, which can only be viewed on mobile phones that use Openwave browsers.
HDML came before the WAP standard was created. It uses Openwave's Handheld Device Transport Protocol (HDTP), instead of WAP.
Phones access HDML sites the following way:
Once the URL is typed into the phone, the phone sends the request to Openwave's UP.Link gateway. The gateway sends a HTTP request to the Web server. The Web servers returns the page via HTTP back to the Openwave UP.Link gateway. The gateway sends the data via HDTP to the wireless carrier's network and down to the phone.
HDML and the Openwave gateway are most popular throughout North America. In Europe, WML and the Nokia WAP gateway and browser are the emerging standard. However, some versions of Openwave browsers do interpret basic WML.
To serve HDML pages, administrators must add the text/x-hdml mime type to their Web servers.

interview with Olympic skier Bode Miller.NBC is facing criticism for its
Miller, 36, became the oldest Alpine medalist in Olympic history when he won the bronze in the super-G, the L.A. Times reported. Miller was interviewed by NBC's Christin Copper after the race who repeatedly delved into the April death of Miller's brother, Chelone.
Eventually Miller broke down on camera and the New York Times noted that instead of breaking away, NBC stayed on Miller for 75 seconds.
For his part, Miller has come to Cooper's defense via Twitter: "My emotions were very raw, she asked the questions that every interviewer would have, pushing is part of it, she wasn't trying to cause pain."
Did NBC Go Too Far in Bode Miller Interview?
NBC's repeated questions concerning the death of Olympic skier Bode Miller's brother has generated criticism.

So very unprofessional -- she should loose her job. It was crule and totally uncalled for. Program manager just as much at fault for not cutting it off and/or panning to something else. If this was run AFTER REVIEW - That makes it even worse and heads should roll.

jaycee February 18, 2014 at 01:03 AM
I literally turned to my husband while watching that interview and said "WTF is wrong with that reporter!?" It was clearly a moment he should have had in private. I was waiting for Bode's wife to come and comfort him and just make the reporter go away!!
carol jones February 18, 2014 at 01:50 AM
a bit overboard for sure, once he started gettingupset just say congrats on the metal and sorry for your loss and be done with it
J D C February 18, 2014 at 07:00 AM
Yeah the job of a REAL reporter is to KEEP the interviewee TALKING, not watching them CRY! After he "trailed off", SHE should have trailed off, the SUBJECT! This is the Olympics not REALITY TV. The man just won a Gold Medal for Christs sake! Like I said, THEY SUCK!
Chris Daley February 18, 2014 at 07:37 AM
I didn't see the interview because I decided NOT TO WATCH Putin's Winter Olympics in the palm tree coast of Black Sea. These games should never been held here. The world looks the other way while Syria, Iran and North Korea create misery. Two million refugees have fled bombed- out Aleppo, Homs and other cities hit with Assad's air war against his own civilians. Chemical weapons were used, setting a "red line" for our president who is afraid to make a decision, but rather play it safe with non-action. We stand for something or we stand for nothing-as we are- while another holocaust occurs! We allow it! Iran is hosing us re nukes and No. Korea's goose-stepping 2 million army will require serious consequences if they step across the 38th Parallel. The world best wake up to these threats to peace and US, NATO need to be engaged to prevent evil. So not much Olympic Spirit here for me, because it's phony, Putin is on their side. Us or them.
Big K February 18, 2014 at 08:30 AM
This reporter could clearly see and hear this mans distress over the loss of his brother. She should have ended this questioning and conversation, then and there.
Taylor February 18, 2014 at 09:01 AM
Spouse had an up-close experience with TV "journalists" during the Seton-Hall fire a few years ago. Overheard one reporter gushing to another that they got a relative of one of the fire victims crying on camera. Makes you want to throw up all over them. TV news is dead in this country.
carol a roskam February 18, 2014 at 09:10 AM
Absolutely, Ms Cooper was way out of line and unprofessional, her questions were rude and inconsiderate. Of course, it goes without saying, that Bode, or anyone for that matter, would be upset and certainly feel very emotional after that awesome performance. She was definitely out of line, and unprofessional. She took the glory of the awesome performance from not only Bode, but from everyone who competed in that event, and threw it under the bus, for her moment of stardom, which in my opinion should land her in the unemployment lines along with the rude and insensitive cameraman who kept the camera rolling on on Bode for 70 plus seconds.
leslie bunch February 18, 2014 at 10:15 AM
I agree with Carol. The reporter and cameraman were very insensitive and should have terminated their interview the moment they noticed how upset he was getting. I was so mad, yelling at them to leave him alone. It seems that reporters will stop at nothing to get their story.
Jon Scagnelli February 18, 2014 at 10:41 AM
If you can't tell by his facial expressions alone that he had enough after the first sensitive question, you shouldn't have a job as a reporter. Kudos to Bode Miller for representing our country in tough times and staying strong up until the shameful reporter came into play. NBC should be embarrassed.
steve forte February 18, 2014 at 11:18 AM
Reporter probably thinks he was showing class for not asking about his cousin.
John Reing February 18, 2014 at 11:22 AM
The reporter probed way too deeply. She got him to shed a tear, so maybe she'll get a quarterly bonus. These reporters are trash in my humble opinion.
Suzanne February 18, 2014 at 01:40 PM
I think NBC went way overboard in sensationalizing what a very personal situation for Bode. Tell NBC what you think - firstname.lastname@example.com. He is the SR VP of Communications for the sports group
Kent Murray February 18, 2014 at 08:33 PM
They were out of bounds. Bode said on numerous times, I am doing this for my brother, thinking of him, etc... They were so wrong - flippin reporters are always trying to make something out of a Human Emotion Story. She should be so disappointed in the way she handle that interview and apologize to Bodie. What a Great Man, he gives his heart and soul for his sport and for our country! Go Bode - Sorry you went through that! SEMPER FI!
Janice Franks February 18, 2014 at 09:00 PM
Bode Miller magnanimously defended the female reporter; the interview was painful to watch. I kept yelling at the T.V. "leave him alone;" he was so obviously in pain and she seemed so uncaring.
Diane Weekley February 19, 2014 at 12:15 AM
SHe was an idiot! She needs to be taken off interviews. Common sense and no human feelings!! I was embarrassed by her. :(
Marc Oliver February 19, 2014 at 08:26 AM
She's a vulture like most other reporters. Also, I forget who was interviewing Pikus-Pace but they were pressing her about a friggin' miscarriage she had. She cried of course and the reporter got her big moment.
Roger Minkow February 19, 2014 at 10:50 AM
I think the Bode Miller interview was unprofessional and pointless. He is a great athlete who was vulnerable and exploited by the interviewer. Although he was gracious and didn't blame her I do. I think she should apologize to him and everyone else she offended by her behavior and I think NBC owes all of us an apology for letting that segment air on TV.
jeff gibb February 19, 2014 at 11:58 AM
I have been a long time fan of NBC and their professional grade of news/sports reporting for decades. Costas and crew are always well informed and usually bring a lot to the Olympics. This year, 2 events actually made me cringe and lowered the standards of sports reporting significantly: Kristin Copper and Lewis Johnson were incredibly disrespectful and rude to their interviewees, Bode Miller and Katie Uhlaender, respectfully. Both had just achieved great success and both reporters not only chose to bring up a very difficult recent death, but asked a revolting number of follow up questions, with obvious results. I not also the article in the Salt Lake Tribune showing the tally of death questions at 3/day...While I could understand acknowledging the athletes' losses, offering condolences, etc., the sheer number of follow up, detailed questions about a highly personal matter was completely unprofessional and ridiculous given the circumstances. I hope NBC instructs its reporters on how inappropriate these questions were, and does not, rather, offer bonuses for "emotional breakdowns" as happens in some different arenas... At the very least, NBC and these individual reporters, should apologize directly to Ms. Pinkus-Pace and Mr. Miller. I get that we live in a world where all is fair game with the press, but some things really do need to be left private.
carol a roskam February 19, 2014 at 12:47 PM
Yes Marc Oliver, there were several interviews both at the Olympics and on TV shows that were so insensitive and out of line, to name a few others who conducted these interviews would be Lewis Johnson, Matt Laury, Meredith Vierra to name a few, I am sure I am missing some. These reporters, talk show host, journalists, etc are in it for the sensationalism with tital disregard for the individuals, heir accomplishments, feelings and most of all their privacy. They are rude inconsiderate people who should all be dealt with appropriately and my feeling is public apology and termination. We all have someone inn our life, weather it be Mother, Father, Brother Sister, Husband, Wife child in our life that we have loved and lost, and yes, there are situations in our life that we reflect and say to ourselves I wonder how _____ would feel or I know ____ is proud of me or I did it all for ______, but these are thoughts and comments we keep in our heart, mind and soul and share with very intimate people in our life when the situation presents itself. It is not to be forced or pried out in public like these inconsiderate people are doing. Congratulations to all out athletes who have are still are representing the USA. We are so proud of all of you and SHAME ON THESE OTHER INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE DOING ALL THE REPORTING. THEY SHOULD ALL BE FIRED!!!!!!
Gloria Cowan February 19, 2014 at 03:56 PM
If NBC wants to recover some of the damages of Cooper's remarks, given the amount spent to host the Olympics, they will have to fire her a___. Then many of us will feel that she's gotten what she deserves. I don't think of media culture; instead I think of human decency.
J D C February 19, 2014 at 04:33 PM
I have already posted my dismay for what she did and in no way condoning it but do any of you think this has anything to do with this new "trend" of ballplayers etc. pounding their chests and looking up at the sky all the time, ESPECIALLY when they know the camera's on them? The ACHIEVEMENT doesnt seem to be enough anymore there HAS to be a back story. Is it just me?
Patricia Mentink February 20, 2014 at 12:13 PM
Send that reporter to sensitivity training. It was obvious that he was hurting and her questions? only made the interview worse, until Bode Miller fell to his knees and sobbed. She must feel terrific for her accomplishment. I personally would fire her, if NBC hasn't already done so. To Bode, great job, America is proud of you and your family.
Jerry Seltzer February 20, 2014 at 12:33 PM
all media are competing with each other for attention....create emotional moments for viewer response; forget that there is a human being there......it will go on...
Mary Jones February 20, 2014 at 04:12 PM
She conducted an interview last night ( Wed. ), so NBC hasn't removed her from reporting at the Olympics. I don't want to see her fired, but at least removed from the Olympics.
Lorraine Crenshaw March 03, 2014 at 07:35 AM
Yes! Pity but perhaps she needs to be treated the same at some point in time. Our caring media in action.

Calling for an immediate end to violence in Syria
Sarah Adams
February 18, 2013
BEIRUT, Lebanon -- The first time I went to Syria through my work with Mennonite Central Committee, almost four years ago, I was unable to access social networking websites. Today, the armed conflict prohibits me from entering the country, but I get a lot of my daily updates through my Facebook feed.
Recently I was chatting with a friend in Aleppo:
Naive question to someone in a city under siege, I admit. He's right. Throughout the country, no one knows where violence will break out next. As the conflict has grown, cities that were home to people of all faiths and ethnicities and enjoyed calm for months have suddenly been caught up in the violence.
My friend goes on:
Theories abound about what's going on in Syria. The growth in the number of non-Syrian fighters, coupled with weapons shipments to both government and opposition fighters from other countries, raises questions about who is really fueling the conflict. MCC partners in Syria often wonder aloud what other countries hope to gain, either from the status quo or from a change in regime.
Meanwhile, millions of people are struggling to feed and shelter themselves. Cooking gas is no longer available in shops and is prohibitively expensive on the black market. People can't heat their homes in the current freezing temperatures because they can't afford the diesel needed for the heating stoves. Forests that were hundreds of years old have been cut down for firewood.
Hundreds of thousands of children have been forced to stop their schooling, and state of the art vocational training centers have been turned into shelters for displaced people. Young boys that are able to go to school have been kidnapped on their way to class as opportunists seek a quick profit, requesting high ransoms for their release.
Local churches and community groups have worked tirelessly to meet the needs. To help them in their efforts, MCC has contributed food, blankets, hygiene kits, skills training and other support worth more than $2 million. I speak with Syrians each week who express gratitude that they have not been forgotten.
So my friend asks:
Sometimes it is easy to forget that Syria is not composed only of a government army and opposition fighters. Yet, I know from MCC's work with church and community groups and youth that millions of Syrians don't believe violence is the way to end the increasingly complex conflict.
In Homs, volunteers risk their lives to bring basic food and medical care into conflict-riddled areas, and families open their homes to displaced people. In Aleppo, where schools have been closed due to the violence, teachers have set up informal centers where children can keep up their lessons and add a familiar routine to their otherwise terrifying days.
In Qalamoun, people of goodwill have turned their homes into staging grounds for donations and distributions. In Ras al-Ayn, where Christians have been displaced and churches have been vandalized, residents of other faiths enter the church towers each day to ring the bells and keep the spirit of unity alive.
My friend says he wonders how long hope can carry people:
Until then, MCC's Syrian partners have new people come to them each week with urgent requests for daily survival. For the many people who lived a comfortable life until just a few months ago, there is much shame in asking for help. Finding ways to help people maintain a sense of dignity as they seek assistance is an important part of the MCC work.
The only hope to reduce the resources needed for the humanitarian catastrophe is to end the violence. While aid addresses the very real symptoms of the problem, it will never solve the conflict. As long as the conflict rages on, the suffering will only intensify.
Because of the power outages, my friend has been chatting on Facebook with me through his cell phone. It's time to say goodbye:
The conflict in Syria has reached its two-year mark, and for many Syrians, it is a time of mourning. Those brave enough to stand on the side of peace and to speak out against both government and opposition violence deserve to be heard. Women and men of all faiths, in all areas of the country, are praying each day for an end to the violence, serving their neighbors as they wait for peace to come.
Join the people of Syria in their prayers for an immediate end to the violence. Tell your government officials to urgently seek a nonviolent, political solution to end the conflict. Stand with the Syrian people by donating funds for food, shelter, education and reconciliation efforts inside the country.

As a regular blood donor for more than 30 years, and having known Brian Hodges for several years, I read with interest your July 13 story regarding policies that restrict blood donations from gays ("Gay man's Portland blood donation fails again"). I could not help but be reminded of past policies restricting transfusions among races.
Brian Hodges of West Gardiner waits in line to give blood July 12 at the American Red Cross donor center in Portland. Hodges was turned down under a federal policy that bars gay men from contributing to the blood supply.
2013 File Photo/John Patriquin
I hope the powers that be will soon revise these outdated policies to be consistent with the current level of their own actual blood screening tests, regardless of a donor's self-declaration of activities as diverse as sexual partners, overseas travel, imprisonment, tattoos or intravenous drug use.
At a time when blood demand is so great, it does not make sense to continue to limit supply when efficient and accurate screening is already in use.
The next time I make my regular donation, I will do so hoping it might make a difference and be an actual gift of life to someone in need. And for the record, if I ever need a pint, I would be thankful to receive one from Mr. Hodges.

On 'birthday' of Medicare, let's appreciate all it's done
This month, Medicare turns 48. Since Medicare was signed into law July 30, 1965, by President Johnson, the program has helped millions of people 65 and older as well as many younger Americans with disabilities get the health care coverage they need.
Prior to the creation of Medicare, only half of the older adults in the United States had health insurance because coverage was often unavailable or unaffordable.
While you may understand the benefits of Medicare, did you know that it took almost two decades for Medicare to be signed into law?
President Truman tried on three occasions to implement a national health insurance program without success.
In 1961, a task force convened by President Kennedy recommended the creation of a national health insurance program specifically for those over 65. President Kennedy gave a televised speech about the need for Medicare in May 1962.
President Johnson continued the call in 1964, urging Congress to create Medicare. Finally, in 1965, Congress passed legislation creating the Medicare program.
When Medicare coverage began, more than 19 million Americans 65 and older enrolled in the program. Today, nearly 50 million Americans depend on Medicare for their health insurance coverage. With increasing life expectancies and more people turning 65 every day, the number of people in Medicare is expected to double between the years 2000 and 2030.
Because this program is vital to so many, it's important we take the time to appreciate Medicare's journey. Equally important, we need to make sure that we do all we can to ensure the program remains strong for current and future generations. You can share your opinions at earnedasay.org.

Farm bill leaves out needy, favors corporate interests
The farm bill sets U.S. agricultural, food and resource conservation policy for the next five years.
Earlier this month the U.S. House of Representatives, on a party-line vote, broke with tradition by stripping from the farm bill the Supplementary Nutrition Assistance Program (food stamps).
What's left in the bill is billions of dollars of subsidies mostly for farming conglomerates. The U.S. Senate passed a much more balanced bill last month.
Over the past 18 years, our government has doled out an average of $7 billion per year of taxpayer funds to support the livestock and dairy industries. Instead, their products should be taxed to reimburse state and federal governments for the uncounted billions in increased medical costs and lost productivity associated with their consumption.

Ever try a Mongolian beer? Porterhouse offers Baa Dog at 5.0% alcohol by volume. How about trying Keo from Cyprus, or Windhoek from Namibia? Better still, bring in a full bottle of a beer the Porterhouse doesn't already have and they'll reward you with a free pint! Wine, cocktails, coffee, and coffee drinks are also available. Most beers are priced about $3-5 for a pint, although there are some of the more exotic ones that are a bit pricier.
If you're hungry, try the oysters, or perhaps the nachos. Food is served from 5:00 PM to 9:30 PM except for weekends and bank holidays, when it is served all day. Prices range from about $4 for the potato wedges to about $16 for a Porterhouse steak.
I spent much of New Year's Eve here and had a great time; lots of good craic (conversation) with the locals, as well as live music. The staff is young and friendly, and while this is a place popular with the younger crowd, there were a number of "over 40's" as well.

Facilities are top-notch; available to everyone and really nice. If you're willing to ask around or do a tiny bit of research you'll find incredible opportunities worth taking advantage of.
everything is great--there are options for absolutely anything and Princeton is an incredible opportunity.
Really good for the most part. Everything is clean and fairly new on the inside of the buildings.
Academic buildings are beautiful and top of the line... from more original buildings like McCosh to newer ones like Frick (the chemistry building)! Dorms are a mixed bag... it's all the luck of the (room) draw!
It Could Be Better. I think that the university has a lot to offer with a very diverse assortment of things to take part in. However, it would be nice for there to be more information about these facilities-- more media.

Common student facilities, such as the gym and student center, are state-of-the-art. The student gym, Stephens Fitness Center in Dillon Gym, was recently renovated and the machines updated, but the biggest problem in the minds of the vastly health-conscious students is how long the wait is for a treadmill or elliptical machine. The student government continues to battle with the issue of gym overpopulation, and machines are added to the limited space on a regular basis. The Frist Campus Center opened in 2000, increasing student space dramatically. Students now have a campus coffee shop, convenience store, food court, and smoothie stand where they can charge everything to their student account, much to the chagrin of many Princeton parents suffering from the phenomenon known as "Frist sticker shock."
Princeton has made a lot of recent strides to catch up with other major universities in terms of campus facilities. Until 2000, students were forced to cram into the small but character-filled Chancellor Green, which was recently renovated and now has a gorgeous reading room in the rotunda. Perhaps it was poor planning or just not realizing how popular new facilities would be, but Frist Campus Center and Stephens Fitness Center both face overcrowding problems, which will only get worse as the University expands its student body.

The University of Minnesota's Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP) offers financial awards twice yearly to full-time undergraduates for research, scholarly, or creative projects undertaken in partnership with a faculty member. UROP affords undergraduates a unique educational experience of collaborating with a faculty mentor on the design and implementation of a project. At the same time, faculty have the opportunity to work closely with students and receive valuable assistance with their own research or professional activity. UROP adds a new dimension to the undergraduate experience. It also encourages students to conduct research and pursue academic interests outside of their regular courses by employing them to work on special projects. Projects are expected to contribute to the student's academic development.
UROP applications are judged on the quality of the proposed project, the strength of the collaboration with the faculty sponsor, and the educational benefit to the student. Since funding is limited, awards are granted to the strongest proposals.
A stipend (up to $1,400) is available as salary for actual time spent working on a project. This corresponds to approximately 120 total hours of work for the project.
An expense allowance (up to $300) is also available for supplies and expenses required by the project.
Students may receive both a stipend and an expense allowances for a single project making a maximum award of $1,700
For applications made in the spring, awards are for the approximate period of July 1st through the following June 30th. Awards made in the fall are for the approximate period of January 1st through the following June 30th.
To apply for a UROP you must be a full-time (see below) UMD undergraduate enrolled in a baccalaureate or pre-baccalaureate degree program. Additionally you must be in good academic standing as defined by your college. Individuals on academic probation are NOT eligible. Adult special students are NOT eligible.
Full-time student status: During the period of your award, you must be registered for a minimum of 6 credits per semester.
Since UROP stipends are salary for actual time spent working on a project, students applying for a stipend must be eligible for student employment. Employment through UROP is available under regular University Employment and the College Work Study (CWS) program. Students who qualify for College Work Study are encouraged to apply CWS funds to their UROP stipends.
Under regular University employment, undergraduates working on summer projects must either register for a total of 6 credits during the summer, or carry a minimum of 6 credits in the preceding spring and subsequent fall semesters. Students working on Intersession projects cannot graduate prior to the end of the Intersession term.
Foreign students receiving a UROP award must be registered for a minimum of 12 credits per semester for the period of the award.
Under College Work Study (CWS) Program Employment, undergraduate students must be registered for a minimum of 6 credits per semester for Work Study (both Federal and State) during the academic year and/or a total of 6 credits during the summer.
Students may hold only one UROP award at a time. While past award recipients may reapply, priority will be given to first-time applicants. Past award recipients must have completed a final report and evaluation for all previous projects before they will be considered for another award. Students nearing graduation may apply only if they will complete their UROP projects, and submit a final report and evaluation of the program, before graduating from the University.
Academic credit: If you will be earning academic credit for your proposed project (e.g. for coursework, independent study, senior thesis), then you are NOT eligible for a UROP stipend. UROP is intended to supplement, not to duplicate, these credit-based educational opportunities. UROP projects, however, frequently grow out of work begun in a course, or explore in a preliminary way a topic that is later expanded into a senior thesis.

Over My Dead Body
Michele Bardsley - Author
- eBook - ePub eBook: $7.99
Moving into Broken Heart seemed like the perfect transition for Simone Sweet and her young daughter, Glory. With her ex-husband gone after attempting to murder Simone, and Glory being mute since the incident, it is one place where she can feel safe, and almost forget she's a ravenous vampire...Dear Reader,
No one is without secrets, but Simone's are big. She'd hate to have them interfere with what's developing with local hunk Braddock Hayes. When not turning her legs to jelly, he's building an Invisi-shield around Broken Heart and helping Glory speak again. But when Simone's past resurfaces, it threatens to ruin her second chance...
My name is Simone Sweet and I run the garage down on Main Street in Broken Heart, Oklahoma. I can repair just about anything ... except my daughter. She hasn't spoken a word in almost three years. Well, now. That's neither here nor there. Some things—like the past—just can't be fixed.
Did I mention I was a vampire? I suppose that's important, but not exactly special. At least not in Broken Heart. Some of us are vampires, others are lycanthropes, and we got fairies and dragons, too. We have few humans, though most of 'em are donors.
Except for Braddock Hayes. Now, there's a neck I'd like to suck. Hoo-boy. I probably shouldn't admit that, right? He's a former member of Paranormal Research and Investigation Services. I know a military man when I see one, and he's got that vibe big-time. Not to mention, he has a lot of techno-toys that might as well be stamped "Made in Area 51."
He's the kind of gorgeous you wanna eat with a spoon, and even though his gaze always hints at secrets, I can't grudge him that. I have secrets, too. What I didn't figure on was that my secret would stroll on into town and threaten everyone.
It's complicated. So's my relationship with Brady. Y'see, vampires can't ... um, enjoy relations without a 100-year commitment. Brady's human, and I'm a bloodsucker for life. That what you call a roadblock, right there.
Then people start disappearing, and others turn up dead, and accusations start flying against me and mine. Suddenly, my love life isn't the only thing that sucks. All I know is that Brady is just about the only person I can rely on to help me figure out what's going on. All we have to do is trust each other. Yeah. No problem. You know what? Reality bites.
And so do I.
Simone Sweet

"A DECENT SMOKE. Not worth the $200 or $300 off the shelf. Definitely worth C.I. reduced price. "
"Finished about half the bundle. Great , smooth taste with great burn. Sticks are wrapped way to tight though. Need Doctor'd up during a smoke to avoid breakin' a brain vein. Still worth the C.I. discount price....."
"Just tried on - they are gonna be a great fishing cigar! Affordable, long lasting, mild and pretty smooth. Gotta watch the beginning tho - burn seems to drift sideways if you don't light it even enough..."
"Not a bad smoke at all. I think they taste more like a longer lasting version of a Fonseca 5-50. Creamy, slightly salty with a dash of wood/toasted nut flavor. Very mild, but well worth it if you can get them cheap."
"Got one from a friend and liked it so much I ordered a bundle. Agree on the burn issues, but great flavor and great value."
"I am around 20 deep into the bundle of 25. I'd say that of those 20 that 15 burned completely properly, 4 were an uneven burn and 1 was so tight that I should have just given it up. For roughly $2 a pop though these are pretty good, particularly when you consider that it lasts easily over 2 hours. I probably will order more because the creamy flavor is excellent. I recommend them, but be advised that if you are sensitive to a firm draw, these may not be for you."
"Just finished my first bundle of these and ordered two more. Very good creamy taste. Out of my first bundle several burned a little unevenly and one was almost unsmokable because of the tight draw, but probably 20 out of the 25 were quite good. The draw tends to be tight, so try something else if you are sensitive to a tight draw. I bought the long ones of these and they tend to last over two hours each, so at $2 a pop, that's a good deal."
"Very good mild creamy flavor marred by inconsistent construction. Most have burned properly, but one was so tight I was turning blue trying to smoke it and at least two others burned unevenly and one developed a bulge that cracked open about an inch and a half below the ember. At this time I have smoked about half of my order. One good thing about these is that they last over two hours, so cost is really quite moderate in relation to total smoking time. Depeinding on how the second half of my bundle goes, I may order more."
"Man these bad boys are silky smooth and very tasty. I usually like a more full body but I have to say I really liked'em and I will get more for sure!!!"

Taking Care of Skin Problems in Senior Dogs
After having given you a lifetime of love, loyalty and companionship, a senior dog needs a reason to live in its older days. Even though it remains debatable whether dogs experience emotions like humans or not, they definitely deserve the same compassion as any other senior member of your family.
With advanced age, senior dogs become more vulnerable to the same dog skin problems that they had to face while young. The skin is the first line of defense against the attacks of external pathogens. Senior dogs are prone to have dry skin and lose some of the shine of their coats as oil secreting glands slow down. Graying hair and dry skin are the key indicators of advancing age.
Here are some skin and coat care tips to keep you senior dog comfortable:
- An itchy skin is common in all dogs, but it occurs more frequently in senior dogs. As senior dogs are more vulnerable to environmental irritants, external parasites, fleas and ticks, an itchy skin in seniors require immediate attention for fear that they cause secondary infections.
- Senior dogs should be given medicated baths to keep their skin in good shape. Also use a very mild shampoo and only those that have been specially formulated for dogs.
- The aging skin of the dog is more inclined to react to allergens and dryness. A blow drier at this age can prove to be harsh on the dry skin. Use thick absorbent towels instead.
- Lumps under the skin are more prevalent in senior dogs. Look for any unusual growth while grooming. This could be a tumor that might be difficult to cure at this age if early treatment is not provided.
- Cut the nails more frequently than before to avoid damage to the skin when itching or scratching as drier skin is likely to be brittle. Dogs usually run down their nails while walking, but senior dogs are less active, which makes their nails grow faster.
- You need to be more regular in grooming and even more observant so as to locate any abnormalities on the skin. Even harmless-looking flea bites can potentially cause a major infection or an allergic reaction at this age. Your flea control program also needs to be more focused.
Whether it is a senior dog or a cat, older skin cannot take care of itself. In senior cats, even mild conditions like feline hair loss, cat dandruff and feline acne require more than normal attention. Grooming at an advanced age is not only meant to spruce up the looks but also to protect the first line of defense of the body against external factors.
