Support system
Mesa's Sterling, Rowe can lean on each other at indoor nationals
Colorado Mesa women's track and field coach Katrice Thomas always thought Whitney Rowe would be the next Colorado Mesa women's track & field athlete to qualify for the NCAA Division II indoor or outdoor national championships.
Instead, it was Bacall Sterling, who did it three weeks ago. Alexis Skarda was the first Mesa student-athlete to qualify for the indoor or outdoor national championships.
Last week, though, Rowe's provisional scores earned her a nationals invite, and she will join Sterling at the indoor national championships Friday and Saturday in Winston-Salem, N.C.
"Going to nationals itself is an accomplishment, but when you can see one of your teammates and best friends go, that makes it so much better," Rowe said. "You can experience it together. Having the coaches' support is huge, but having someone that can relate to you in that high-pressure situation ... I don't know how to explain it.
"It is perfect. It's hard to put into words, but I'm really grateful she's going with me. It's going to be motivating for sure. I've gone to track meets by myself. Not having that support sucks. Knowing she's in the stands will definitely help."
The junior from Burnaby, British Columbia, came close to qualifying for the Division II indoor national championships last year, so actually making it this year is a relief — and a little hard to believe.
"I've been trying for two years, and now I'm actually going," Rowe said. "It doesn't seem real. We talk about it, 'No, it hasn't hit us yet.' That's the biggest thing why it hasn't hit me: I've been so close and haven't achieved it yet. Now that I've actually achieved it, it's kind of surreal."
Rowe had a provisional time in the 60-meter dash last year, but didn't get an invitation.
This year, she received an invitation to participate in three events: the 60-meter dash; 200; and long jump.
"I think that's the biggest shocker is how much of an improvement I've made since last year," Rowe said.
Rowe improved her long jump by more than one foot from last year. She went from a best time of 7.78 seconds to a 7.56 in the 60, and she lowered her time in the 200 from 25.69 to 24.64.
Rowe had a provisional score in the 100 and 200 in outdoor track and field last year.
"I was super-excited for (Rowe)," Sterling said. "I'm so happy for her because she's been working for this. Making it in three events is crazy. She's been working really hard. It will pay off, and she'll prove herself."
Rowe's offseason work was instrumental in making the necessary improvements to qualify this year.
"I'm glad she stayed focused," Thomas said of Rowe. "She was so close last year that it was either going to be a make or break situation. She decided it was still possible and she would go after it hard. She trained through the entire summer and fall. It's a testament of her hard work."
Both Rowe and Sterling hope to make more Mesa history and become the first track and field All-Americans in the program's history.
"I almost don't know exactly what to hope for," Thomas said. "I don't want to put pressure on their shoulders. They've already achieved such a great accomplishment. I think all of the coaching staff and teammates know how well they can do. We'll go in there and hope for their best performances. If they can do that, we'll come back with one All-American and one All-American Canadian."
Rowe is ranked 10th in the 60 (7.56), 14th in the 200 (24.64) and 16th in the long jump (18-feet, 11.75 inches).
"I'm trying to make finals," Rowe said. "I'm not setting myself up for times. I've done that in the past, and if I don't achieve them ... I shut down. I want to be top eight and get that All-American title that I technically can't accept because I'm not American, but that's the main goal."
Sterling, a sophomore transfer, automatically qualified for nationals three weeks ago in the triple jump. She is ranked eighth in the event (40-feet-4.25).
"My (goal) is pretty much the same," Sterling said. "I want to make it to finals and hopefully place in the top eight and be an All-American. Coach (Jason Brenton) wants me to win the whole thing. If that happens, great. It will definitely give me confidence for outdoors, too."

Reading the Lips of Governor Henry Seriake Dickson
Judge me by this – I will not play politics with your development. I will not play politics with crime, criminality and violence. I will not play politics with the protection of the Ijaw National interest within the context of a united, democratic and peaceful Nigeria" – Gov. Henry Seriake Dickson
The success of a man's journey of a thousand miles is not only determined by his courage to take the first step, but also in his capacity to maintain the balance to achieve desired goals. Politically speaking, his progress is measured by the basis of performance and impact on the people. Since the creation of Bayelsa State, no Governor has taken the amount of time spent by Governor Henry Seriake Dickson to make an elaborate plan of action and resolve to develop the state according to the master plan, which previous governments had been unable to pursue. Considering the lean resources at her disposal, Bayelsans and well meaning Nigerians alike had expected some level of acceleration in her pace of economic, social and infrastructural development, beyond the point we find ourselves before February 14, 2012, when Governor Henry Seriake Dickson took his oath of office as 4th Governor of Bayelsa State.
Prior to this time, it was generally believed that the development of the State has not kept pace with the resources that accrued to the State. In the formative years of democracy people yearned for a change of political leadership of the State for lack of meaningful development in spite of huge sums of money the comes into the state. The urban planning is abused; no roads, infact central areas of Yenagoa city like Amarata, Ovom, Swali, etc have remained an urban eye-sore. The development of the State had been bedeviled by corruption in the civil service system, unemployment; crime was on the increase with cultists having a field day. The State Treasury was putting the state on the threshold of bankruptcy.
Bayelsans received Governor Dickson as a Valentine's Gift because his assumption ceremony coincided with the celebration of St. Valentine's Day, connoting a good omen as far as political developments are concerned. Like his predecessors, he has made lots of promises through the implementation of a Restoration Agenda to develop the State. The Governor said he would not He said he was a product of the Ijaw movement and therefore, he will not play politics with the development of Bayelsa State. And from what we see in Yenagoa today, Governor Dickson is marching his words with action.
Reading the lips of Governor Henry Seriake Dickson when he delivered his inaugural speech, one thing is clear – that he is a radical Governor, a comrade governor with a mission to deliver democracy dividends. He said: " the cardinal focus of the Restoration agenda is to undertake fundamental reform of the governance culture to emphasis transparency, accountability, due process and value-re-orientation by all institutions and functionaries of government, beginning from my humble self" He emphasized that his administration will have zero tolerance for corruption and that the days of enrichment without labour and funding the greed and avarice of a few at the expense of the development of our people is over. Hear him: 'I will work hard to plug all leakages and sources of corruption which have been the bane of our development. I will rather use our common wealth to fund the construction of good roads, education, promote tourism, generate wealth and develop agriculture than fund corruption and greed. Be prepared therefore for a fundamental paradigm shift in the governance culture, values and lifestyle of public officials. I am aware that we will face resistance, we may be misunderstood but we shall always do what is right in the interest of you the people".
Governor Dickson, basking in the euphoria of his landslide victory with a sea of supporters said "in the course of our campaign, we promised massive investment in education, critical infrastructure, agriculture, health, as well as peace and security. The development of human capital is our most compelling and urgent need. That is why we promised you free and compulsory education for all our children in primary and secondary schools with emphasis on computer literacy, science and technology. I hereby announce with immediate effect from today the take-off of free and compulsory education at primary and secondary school levels across Bayelsa State. The rebuilding of our educational infrastructure commences forthwith. Our curriculum will emphasize the study of Ijaw language, history and culture. We shall construct roads and other infrastructure to link our people and fast track comprehensive development. The completion of the three senatorial roads will be given high priority. But all these will not be possible without an atmosphere of peace and security."
Barely six months in office, Governor Dickson's vision is manifesting radical changes sign-posting a new era of development and prosperity. He has awarded contracts worth billions of naira for massive road construction projects and other infrastructural development. With Julius Berger and other construction firms on the road, it won't be long before we see new roads and bridges linking Yenagoa and other communities.
Motor cycle popularly called Okada has been abolished and the rate of auto-related accidents has reduced to a near zero level. A new and safer mass transit system is now in place in Yenagoa. There's now free education and school buses for children. Gradually, Yenagoa has started to recapture its serene and peaceful environment. Bayelsans are also expecting government to ensure that they are economically empowered. Contract for clearing the airport site has been awarded. Bayelsa State will soon be reckoned as a massive cassava producing State in Nigeria. There is a huge re-engineering in the State UBE, and a revolution is already. Most youths believe that the huge amounts of money spent on road constructions do not generate much employment as the companies use heavy machinery and equipment to execute their projects, which of course is a welcome development in terms of quality of work. So far, within a period of seven months, Governor Henry Seriake Dickson has proved to be a man of his words.

Category: yooneek spellings
Linda and I were talking about our beloved Berries the other day, naturally calling people by their Berry names since for the most part we don't know their real names, when suddenly dawn broke.
Hey!, we thought. Here we are, a name site, with lots of regular visitors who are fascinated by names and think and know a lot about the subject, and yet they're known by names they've invented for themselves. So where did those names come from?
Guest blogger Aislinn Nicole is a fan of both baby names and George R. R. Martin's epic Game of Thrones series. Here, she combines enthusiasms and helps us navigate the names of the new season.
The people of George R.R. Martin's book series A Song of Ice and Fire (adapted by HBO to become the TV series Game of Thrones) are very much like the people of our world. Martin's characters are vivid and real, and their names are an extension of that, including interesting similarities and alternatives to several classic names.
There's the simple and lovely Jeyne, pronounced just like Jane. Tywin and Tyrion are similar to Tyler, while Edmure and Eddard sound much like our Edmund and Edward. Marcella was my grandmother's name, so Myrcella holds a particular fondness for me. There are a dozen other examples in the series… and some names you'll never have heard before, that are equally lovely.
Game of Thrones is about a continent (Westeros) of feuding noble families, all vying to control the Iron Throne. At the beginning of the series, the Iron Throne is held by King Robert Baratheon, who requests the aid of his childhood friend Eddard Stark to help him keep the Iron Throne which he won by defeating House Targaryen. Below, the noble houses are listed with the main characters included as well as some characters with more interesting names. Note: some of the characters listed don't appear (or become important) until later in the series, but they are simply too good to exclude.
If you're interested in knowing more about Game of Thrones, the series' first season came out on DVD March 6th, and the second season began on HBO on April 1st. For the real experience though, I'd recommend the book series, A Song of Ice and Fire, whose first book is called A Game of Thrones.
We've often wondered how teachers respond to the new menu of student names on their class lists each year. Guest blogger Emily Gough, an experienced educator, tells the story from her point of view.
At the start of every school year, I am organizing notes, planning lessons, hanging up posters, and of course looking over the new class lists. Each year brings 100+ new students, and of course new names. I am always eagerly checking to see if my class lists are available yet as the countdown to school starts. For one thing, I like to know what the class sizes are, but mostly it's the names I'm interested in.
If I see any that I am at a total loss with pronunciation-wise, I do some research to try to prevent myself from butchering a kid's name on the first day. I wonder over familiar last names, and whether this new student is a younger sibling, and if so will they be very similar or complete opposites? I prepare myself for trying to keep Kylee, Kylie, and Kyley apart in one class and I wonder if Devin and Dakota are boys or girls.
And the longer I teach, the more I get an impression of what each student might be like based upon previous students with the same name. I think every teacher can give you examples- for me, a male Jesse is going to be a handful and Lily will be a quiet, shy introvert. I even will differentiate my assumptions based upon spelling; I would predict John to be studious and Jon a jokester.
The idea for this blog arose, as so many good things do, from the nameberry forums, in this case one on name spellings. In particular, the focus was on names that had more than one legitimate spelling, and asked visitors to pick their favorite of the two (or more).
With so much talk these days about yooneek spellings of names – variations invented to make a name more "special" – it's interesting to explore those names that have more than one bona fide spelling.
Of course, there may be some controversy over what constitutes bona fide name spellings. On the forum, some people took issue with spelling variations springing from different origins of a name: Isabelle as the French version and Isabel the Spanish, for instance, and so not really pure spelling variations in the way that Katherine and Kathryn are. Others argued over spelling variations that might more accurately be differences in a name's gender or pronunciation.
There are obviously a lot of ways to split this hair. And we've made a lot of judgment calls some of you may disagree with. Sure, Debra might be a modern variation of the Biblical Deborah, but it was so widely used in mid-century America it's now legitimate, or at least that's the way we see it.
Here are some girls' names with more than one spelling that we consider legitimate.
- Annabel and Annabelle (and Anabel)
- Anne and Ann
- Ariana and Arianna
- Briony and Bryony
- Brooke and Brook
- Claire and Clare
Guest blogger JILL BARNETT discovers that yooneek names are more prevalent than she'd realized. And every bit as confusing.
On a beautiful Saturday in July, I found myself where most people would love to be on a beautiful Saturday in July: sitting in a painfully boring continuing education seminar, hopelessly trying to remain awake. The air conditioner must have been set at a brisk 52 degrees, and after catching a glimpse of my now cerulean blue toes, I wondered if my lips had suffered a similar fate. My chattering teeth thankfully prevented me from entirely nodding off, but I was in need of a more cerebral distraction. Desperate for entertainment, I decided to count the goosebumps on my lower left arm, first by twos and then by threes.
As the counting fun began, I happened to glance at a piece of paper in front of the 20-something-year-old woman sitting to my left, and I realized that she had written her name in the upper right hand corner. Ever the name nerd, I simply had to take a peek, and after a lingering glance, I discovered that her name was Mykailah. Figuring it was code for Michaela, I naturally wondered about my other neighbor's name. Pretending to do some right arm goosebump counting, I quickly looked at her paper, and was pleased to meet Tyffani. Mykailah and Tyffani? Tyffani and Mykailah? I was now the official filling inside of a yooneek name sandwich.

Ahmadinejad supports oil embargo on backers of Israel
Iran's president said on Thursday imposing an oil embargo on backers of Israel over its Gaza Strip offensive was a "good proposal" but such an idea was not on the agenda yet. According to Reuters, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was asked about an Iranian commander's call earlier this month for an oil embargo on Israel's supporters.
"I think it is a good proposal if Arab countries cooperate. It can't be that nations give oil and it is turned into a bullet, a missile or a bomb on the heads of the people of Gaza. This is not a fair equation," Ahmadinejad said. "But such a thing is not on the agenda yet," he told a news conference.
An aide to Iran's supreme leader on Wednesday said oil could be used as a weapon against Israel, the United States and their allies. Saudi Arabia, however, the biggest producer in the Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), last week dismissed the idead.

Massachusetts man 'Walking for Heroes' from Boston to Birmingham to Los Angeles
A Massachusetts man is walking across Alabama this week in honor of veterans.
Carl Wentworth{}calls it "Walking for Heroes", as he takes steps to support veterans and asks other to take a stand for service men and women.{} He will reach Birmingham tomorrow as part of the cross country trip that started in Boston on Veteran's Day.{} He hopes to reach Los Angeles for the Fourth of July.
"If you told me I'd be in Alabama when I started, I would have told you no way," Wentworth said.
He's a 47-year-old handyman from Worcester, Massachusetts.{} His father served three tours of duty in Vietnam as well as another in Korea, and retired from the Army as a staff sergeant.{} Many other relatives also served in the military.
"I'd like to open up some eyes and maybe show the country that we need to respect and honor these men and women that give so much," he said.
"Seeing homeless veterans on the street played a role in it.{} Listening to their stories, a lot of which are pretty sad, and it all came together.{} I just decided I'm going to walk across the country in their honor and to raise awareness."
Wentworth packed a tent and other supplies into a cart and began his journey.{} He first walked to Long Island to visit his father's grave.{} He said he had a hard time following his father's death to get a proper military burial, but he was finally successful.{} The visit as part of this trip was his first time back to the cemetery since the funeral.
He continued to Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia to honor the members of the armed forces buried there.{} Then Wentworth walked on into the southeast, reaching Georgia before heading west.
"There's definitely no turning back now considering who and what I'm doing it for.{} Giving up is not an option," he said.
The staff at Talladega Superspeedway heard about Wentworth's trip from a media report in Atlanta, and invited him to visit the track for a tour.{} He took a brief break from walking Wednesday morning and accepted a ride in a pace car.
"I'm at a loss for words, I'm still at wow," he said while standing on pit row.
He hopes the drivers who pass him on the side of the road will not go as fast, and will watch out for him.
"I've had a lot of close calls.{} If people would get off their telephone and pay attention while they drive, I would feel a lot better," Wentworth said.
He said he often quietly says thank yous to passing drivers when they give him space, and asks that people express gratitude when they see a veteran.
"Thank a vet and give these men and women more respect," he said.
You can follow his journey and see photos of hundreds of the people he met, including ABC 33/40's Robert Richardson, Lincoln mayor Bud Kitchin, and New England Patriots wide receiver Mark Harrison, on the "Walking for Heroes" Facebook page.

Etosha National Park Trips
Etosha is one of Africa's great national parks and the game viewing here is on a par with South Africa's Kruger, Zimbabwe's Hwange, Kenya's Masai Mara and Tanzania's Serengeti. A visit to Etosha is deservedly one of the highlights of any visit to Namibia. Some 114 mammal species, 110 reptile species and more than 340 different bird species have been identified, and three well-appointed rest camps cater for the hundreds of daily visitors. Each rest camp has a floodlit watering hole, which offers overnight visitors the chance to see good numbers of game in an unusual environment. A large proportion of the park is either closed to the public or inaccessible by road, which has enabled conservationists to carry out important studies of wildlife.
The central feature of the park is the Etosha Pan, a huge depression that becomes a lake during summers of exceptional rainfall, although even then the water is rarely more than a few centimetres deep. Most of the time it is a blinding expanse of flat, white, cracked and dried mud that shimmers with mirages and is dotted with spiralling dust devils. Seeing animals pace across this surreal landscape is one of the sights that make Etosha so special. Indeed, the name Etosha is usually translated as 'great white place' or 'place of emptiness'.Read more
There are no roads across the pan, but along the southern fringe a network of gravel roads offers some exceptional views of this natural feature which can be seen clearly from space. A unique aspect of Etosha is the fine white dust during the dry seasons – your vehicle will certainly be covered with it but in some cases so are the animals, so to follow a white elephant as it ambles down a gravel road is a delightful experience.
Another good reason for visiting Etosha is to see the endangered black rhinoceros; the resident population of about 700 is thought to be one of the largest in Africa. While it is difficult to see these animals in thick bush, they frequently visit the floodlit waterholes. The most commonly occurring species are the animals that prefer open savannah country. You can expect to see large herds of blue wildebeest, gemsbok, Burchell's zebra, eland, giraffe, springbok and elephant, as well as hyena, warthog and the ubiquitous ground squirrel. All of the large cats are found in Etosha and the park is home to three uncommon antelope species: the black-faced impala, Damara dik-dik and the roan antelope.

NEWPORT-based Ballet Cymru has been nominated for a prestigious national award.
The 11-strong company which works out of the Riverfront, has been nominated in the Best Independent Company category for the 13th annual National Dance Awards.
The awards, which are organised by the dance section of the Critics' Circle, brings together more than 50 dance writers and critics from across the UK to decide the shortlists.
Ballet Cymru will now be one of four companies left to fight it out for the prize, when the decision of the panel is announced at a ceremony held in the Robin Howard Theatre at The Place, London on January 28.
Newport-born artistic director, Darius James, said: "It's absolutely unbelievable, we are still pinching ourselves.
"They used to have an award which was voted for by audiences which we won a few years ago but this is the first time a Welsh company has ever been shortlisted for an award by the panel.
"In the press release they sent out the judges said that those nominated 'were the cream of 2011', which is good enough for us in itself."

Release Details
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced today that Chairman Ann Brown awarded the CPSC Chairman's Commendation for Significant Contributions to Product Safety to Sunbeam Plastics of Evansville, Ind., a division of the Rexham Co.
Chairman Brown gave the commendation to Sunbeam for its long-term commitment to developing innovative and effective senior-friendly, child-resistant packaging for a broad range of consumer products. Since passage of the Poison Prevention Packaging Act in 1970, childhood poisoning deaths declined from about 450 to about 50 per year.
Chairman Brown said, "CPSC estimates that about 700 children's lives have been saved by the child-resistant packaging required by the act. The Poison Prevention Packaging Act is one of government's greatest success stories. While CPSC helped dramatically reduce child poisonings, 50 deaths a year is 50 deaths too many. Poison control centers across the country still receive nearly one million calls a year, reporting child ingestions and poisoning near-misses."
Many of these ingestions occur when the child resistant caps are left open, removed, or replaced with a regular cap. People, who have arthritis or do not have the agility or strength to open child resistant caps, leave the hard-to-open closures off the bottles to get to their medicine when they need it. Sunbeam has developed packaging that will be easier for adults of all ages to use, thereby saving children's lives. This commendation underscores how CPSC is working with industry to recognize and encourage safety features in products that protect consumers. We want to promote the message that 'safety sells' to both industry and consumers."
Chairman and CEO of the Rexham Co., Eric Priestly, accepted the commendation today on behalf of the company at an award ceremony at the Willard Hotel in Washington. Sunbeam developed the safety caps to protect a large number of people in advance of mandatory regulations or voluntary standards.
Chairman Brown previously gave the commendation to Playskool for designing the 1-2-3 High Chair with a safety restraint that will help save children's lives and to Procter and Gamble for a senior-friendly, child-resistant safety closure on mouthwash packaging.
Chairman Brown initiated the commendation program to recognize substantial contributions to product safety by individuals, companies, or groups for one-time, ongoing, or multiple actions. Nominees for the award, which will be given periodically, may be brought to the Chairman's attention. Chairman Brown will consider the following factors in choosing award recipients:
-Actions that contribute to reducing hazards to children and other vulnerable populations;
-Voluntary actions that are not mandated by government regulations, that anticipate government regulations, or that go beyond what the government requires;
-Developments that affect the safety of large numbers of individuals;
-Innovations or improvements to existing products; and
-Safety devices, packaging, warnings, or products that enhance consumer safety.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is charged with protecting the public from unreasonable risks of injury or death associated with the use of thousands of types of consumer products under the agency's jurisdiction. Deaths, injuries, and property damage from consumer product incidents cost the nation more than $1 trillion annually. CPSC is committed to protecting consumers and families from products that pose a fire, electrical, chemical or mechanical hazard. CPSC's work to help ensure the safety of consumer products - such as toys, cribs, power tools, cigarette lighters and household chemicals -– contributed to a decline in the rate of deaths and injuries associated with consumer products over the past 40 years.
Federal law bars any person from selling products subject to a publicly-announced voluntary recall by a manufacturer or a mandatory recall ordered by the Commission.
To report a dangerous product or a product-related injury go online to www.SaferProducts.gov or call CPSC's Hotline at 800-638-2772 or teletypewriter at 301-595-7054 for the hearing impaired. Consumers can obtain news release and recall information at www.cpsc.gov, on Twitter @USCPSC or by subscribing to CPSC's free e-mail newsletters.

Get UK Law Questions Answered by Verified Experts
Thank you for your inquiry.
If the original tenant company has assigned (ie. transferred) their interest in the Lease to a new Tenant company lawfully under the terms of the Lease then the Landlord to is only able to terminate the Lease in accordance with the terms of the Lease.
If the original Tenant has been made insolvent then this would affect the Landlord in the event that the new Tenant company defaulted in paying their rent (or other sums due under the Lease) and the Landlord then sought to reclaim this from the original Tenant Company (ie. possibly by way of an Authoried Guarantee Agreement entered in to upon assignment of the lease to the new tenant company). If the company is insolvent, then plainly pursuing them for the sums due would be fruitless (ie. because they have no money).
The most common methods of terminating a lease are by way of break clauses specified in the Lease, which would grant to either the Landlord or Tenant the right to terminate at specified period (s) during the lease term upon the service of notice to terminate (for which there would certainly be a minimum notice time period). Failing that a lease can come to end either by expiration of the Lease term, or by the Tenant forfeiting the lease because of the tenant not performing their obligations under the Lease.
I hope this helps. If so, please kindly click accept or otherwise feel free to ask any further related points to follow up.
Kind regards,
Right, sorry about the misunderstanding.
You should refer to the agreement originally made with the Company to check that the original agreement was assignable (ie. able to be sold to another company under the terms of the agreement).
If the lease agreement has correctly been sold by the original party and bought by another company each party to the agreement (ie. you and the new company that has purchased the insolvent company's interest in it) would be still be bound to perform their responsibilities under the agreement.
The agreement should refer to each parties' responsibilities and if the new company is not fulfilling a term of the agreement (ie. providing back up) then the agreement may entitle you to terminate it and return the items.
If the agreement does not entitle you to terminate it because of the breach of duty to provide backup then you will nevertheless be able to make a claim under contract law for a breach of contract for any expenses or losses incurred as a result of the breach (ie. the expense of paying for alternative backup)
After checking the agreement you should write to the other party confirming the breach, detail the costs incurred as a result of the breach and claim the sum from them. Ask to be paid within 7days failing which a claim will be made in the small claims court . You will be able to this yourself online though http://www.moneyclaim.gov.uk/.

text: Im a pretty loyal google ecosystem follower . In our house we have six android devices : Galaxy Nexus Nexus 4 Nexus 7 TF101 tablet Samsung fasinate Galaxy sII My loyalty have been rewarded as follows : On Feb 23 i bought a samsung chromebook for my wife from the google play store. On the same day i went to best buy and found one there.Tried to cancel google play order but it had shipped. Bought the best buy chromebook it and took it home. Would not connect to wifi. Took it back on the 24th and the employees could not get it to work. Tried a second one,same problem. Grabbed an acer chromebook and it worked perfectly . Recieved the google play samsung chromebook from UPS and it was defective as well . Called google and recived a defective equipment shipping label. Returned it to google and they recieved the defective device UPS on the 5th of march. The Refund will take 14 biz days to be back in my account. One month from the initial purchase! In good faith i ordered two more c7 chromebooks from google on the 17th of march . On the order page it says "in stock" and " DELIVERED in 1-3 business days " . When you click to purchase it it repeats the " DELIVERED in 1-3 business days " . It also states i was paying extra for 2 day shipping , without a choice. After i paid for the device , i received an email with a statement that said it would SHIP within a week. That it a blatant and misleading practice. It borders on fraud. On the 18th i still have not a: received a refund for the original defective chromebook or b: a tracking number for the new chromebooks. I called google play and wanted a tracking number. I was told that it would be a week before it shipped. I asked to cancel it and was told there was an hour window to cancel the order. I was told that it was UPS and not google that owns the warehouse that has all the chromebooks and that google could not do anything about it. I spoke to a supervisor and was told i could not cancel an order that had not shipped yet. Worlds biggest internet company and they do not possesthe technology to send an email to the warehouse that says " hey bob that order is cancelled, dont ship it." I went online and used googles order cancellation form. It said i had cancelled the order but would have to wait for a cancellation email for it to go through. Im done with google. Ill buy all of my apps and devices from Amazon. I dont care if i have to pay more. Rant off.

For starters, Rays at Red Sox for two - weather permitting
UPDATE, 4:55: Ortiz is out of the Sox lineup again, with what is actually "right heel bursitis" so ex-Ray Carl Crawford will be the DH.
Sox lineup:
Ellsbury cf
Lowrie ss
Gonzalez 1b
Pedroia 2b
Reddick rf
Crawford dh
Aviles ss
Varitek c
McDonald lf
Bedard p
UPDATE, 4:14: James Shields called the 3-1 defeat in Tuesday's opener a "tough loss,'' and for good reason as he allowed only three hits, but all came in the third inning, including the Jacoby Ellsbury home run that made the difference. ... Maddon did decide to play Joyce in the nightcap, and Rodriguez's knee is well enough for him to start at short.
Rays Game 2 lineup:
Jennings lf
Damon dh
Longoria 3b
Zobrist 2b
Upton cf
Kotchman 1b
Rodriguez ss
Joyce rf
Chirinos c
Niemann p
UPDATE, 1:06: Cobb's surgery now set for Thursday. Also, best note of the day - today's is Don and Soot Zimmer's 60th wedding anniversary. Think about that.
UPDATE, 12:24: The light rain seems to have slowed to a drizzle and field is being prepared so it would appears Game 1 will at least start on time. .. Maddon said he only planned to play Damon one game so decided to give him the night game and use the day as a chance to get Zobrist off his feet as the DH. ... And he chose Fuld over Joyce based on how he's been hitting and that the Rays' research favors him vs. Lester. ... Maddon said he's not sure what he will do in the second game yet since there is another lefty starting and that Joyce might not play then either. ... No update on RHP Alex Cobbb, whose surgery to remove a blockage remains delayed. And bullpen coach Bobby Ramos missed another trip and is back home in Miami for another test to determine the cause of his throat infection.
Red Sox lineup:
Ellsbury cf
Pedroia 2b
Gonzalez 1b
Youkilis 3b
Ortiz dh
Crawford lf
Saltalamacchia c
Reddick rf
Aviles ss
Lester p
UPDATE, 10:56: And a light rain is starting to fall already. A long day may be even longer.
UPDATE, 10:50: The Rays lineup for the opener has a bit of a suprise, with Johnny Damon not in it and Sam Fuld hitting second in rightfield, with Ben Zobrist at the DH.
Here's how it will look:
Jennings lf
Fuld rf
Longoria 3b
Zobrist dh
Upton cf
Kotchman 1b
Rodriguez 2b
Shoppach c
Johnson ss
Shields p
DEVELOPING: After two days off, the Rays are eager to get back on the field, and will be there all day and night, with a split-doubleheader today at Fenway Park. But that's if the weather cooperates. Though it's not raining now, the forecasts call for showers later in the day, with the rain chance as high as 60 percent by mid-afternoon, then continuing at that rate or close to it until 8 or 9 p.m. So we'll see.
The Rays will send two of their hottest pitchers to the mound - James Shields in the opener and Jeff Niemann in the nightcap. The Sox will start a pair of lefties that have traditionally been tough on the Rays, Jon Lester and newly acquired Erik Bedard.

Wisconsin Budget Calls for $3 Million for Rural and Urban Medical Programs

Wisconsin Academy for Rural Medicine (WARM)
Training in Urban Medicine and Public Health (TRIUMPH)
Follow Us
The University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health will receive $3 million in state funding to expand training programs for students who intend to practice in rural and inner-city locations, Gov. Scott Walker announced.
In addition to expanding the Wisconsin Academy for Rural Medicine (WARM) and Training in Urban and Medicine and Public Health (TRIUMPH), the proposed funds will also be used to establish special scholarships for students based on financial need, and upgrade technology to allow for increased distance learning opportunities.
"We are very pleased at the wise and strategic investments Gov. Walker is proposing to address the future health needs of our state," said Dr. Robert N. Golden, dean of the School of Medicine and Public Health.
"The Wisconsin Academy of Rural Medicine (WARM) and Training in Urban Medicine and Public Health (TRIUMPH) programs are two of the jewels in the crown of our School of Medicine and Public Health. Support for these programs, along with a substantial commitment to helping create more residencies in our state, takes Wisconsin forward in a crucial area of need. We are absolutely delighted that these programs will continue to flourish and bring health-care expertise where it is most needed."
The Wisconsin Academy for Rural Medicine, established in 2005, is a rural education program within the MD Program curriculum aimed at increasing the number of physicians practicing in rural Wisconsin communities.
Training in Urban Medicine and Public Health, which began in 2008, is a focus within the MD Program that seeks medical students who are committed to providing health care for urban populations and to reducing health disparities.
Both programs are addressing the projected physician shortage in underserved areas of the state. According to 2011 report, "100 New Physicians a Year: An Imperative for Wisconsin," the Wisconsin Hospital Association predicts a shortage of as many as 2,000 doctors - mostly primary care physicians - by 2030.
WARM Students Attend Budget Address
Four Wisconsin Academy for Rural Medicine students, along with Dean Golden, were invited to attend Governor Walker's state budget address on February 20.

NEW YORK Technology companies led the stock market higher Monday, pushing the Standard & Poor's 500 index back up to the record high it reached earlier this month.
A pair of strong economic reports also encouraged investors. Wages and spending rose in the U.S. last month, and pending home sales hit their highest level in three years.
As of 1:20 p.m., the Dow Jones industrial average was up 00 points at 14,813, a gain of 0.67 percent. Microsoft and IBM were among the Dow's best performers, rising 2 percent each.
Big tech firms have slumped this month. Concerns about weak business spending and slower overseas sales have weighed on the industry, said Marty Leclerc, the managing partner of Barrack Yard Advisors, an investment firm in Bryn Mawr, Pa. Revenue misses from IBM and other big tech companies have highlighted the industry's vulnerability to the world economy.
"The areas of the stock market that haven't done as well rely on exports," Leclerc said. "Those stocks more dependent on the domestic economy have done the best."
- Pending U.S. home sales reach 3-year high in March
- U.S. consumer spending slowed in March

Tech played catch-up on Monday. Information technology stocks rose the most of the 10 industry groups in the S&P, 1.5 percent. It's the only group that remains lower over the past year.
The S&P 500 index was up 1s points to 1,594, a gain of 0.7 percent. That matches its all-time closing high reached on April 11.
The Nasdaq composite rose 32 points at 3,311, a rise of 1 percent. Apple, the biggest stock in the index, rose 3.3 percent to $431.24.
The number of Americans who signed contracts to buy homes reached the highest level since April 2010, according to the National Association of Realtors. Back then, a tax credit for buying houses had lifted sales. Separately, the government reported that Americans' spending and income both edged up last month.
Moody's and Standard & Poor's parent company McGraw-Hill surged following news that the ratings agencies settled lawsuits dating back to the financial crisis that accused them of concealing risky investments. McGraw-Hill gained 6 percent to $54.80, while Moody's jumped 10 percent to $61.02, the biggest gain in the S&P 500.
Eaton Corp. gained 5 percent to $61.31 after reporting that its quarterly net income jumped, beating Wall Street's estimates. The results were helped by its acquisition of Cooper Industries, an electrical equipment supplier.
In the market for government bonds, the yield on the 10-year Treasury note slipped to 1.65 percent. That's down from 1.67 percent late Friday.

Take 2 recorded losses of $28.8 million for the period ending July 31st, compared to a net loss of $14.4m for the same quarter last year. Sales were up six per cent at $169.9m, boosted by the performance of Midnight Club 3: Dub Edition and GTA: San Andreas.
Elsewhere, the publisher confirmed that The Warriors (PS2, Xbox) and GTA: Liberty City Stories (PSP) were on track for release by the end of October, while it also promised further "extensions of the Grand Theft Auto franchise" for the next fiscal year.

hi, i had botox and the results are great other than when i try to lift my eyebrows the only part that lifts is the arch and it very pronounced.. like an inverted V shape!!! can anything be down to relax this? thank you
Eyebrow Arches Are Really Pronounced After Botox

After BOTOX eyebrow position can change
After BOTOX eyebrow position can change because some muscles may work more while other muscles are relaxed. If it doesn't look natural it can be touched up with BOTOX injections to different areas.
High arch eyebrows after Botox
You describe a situation that should be straight forward to improve. As long as the area that needs further treatment is mid height in the forehead in the vertical line that crosses the eye's position, a few units of Botox should relax that high arch. The physician should not inject the Botox too close to the eyebrow in that vertical plane, otherwise, there may be a drop of the upper eyelid.

You just need a small injection
Sometimes, certain areas of the frontalis muscle respond more than an adjacent area, resulting in crazy eyebrow shapes. There is a simple fix for this. It should be done between 7-14 days from the treatment and usually requires only 1-4 units of Botox. I have seen this less frequently with Dysport.

Throughout the 20th century there has been a family crest, which the Nellis Family has related to and used as a symbol of the roots of their history. Although there is no known direct connection of the Mohawk Nellis Family to the crest, it has been adopted and displayed by members of the family. Some members have taken special effort to have the crest professionally drawn and painted for their own enjoyment, and it makes a memorable keepsake of the Nellis Family. If there is enough interest shown for copies of this crest, an effort can be undertaken to have copies of the crest laser printed suitable for framing. If you are interested in obtaining a copy (or copies) of this work, please send a note to Richard Hayes.

Hello, Friends! I hope you've had a wonderful week. We keep laughing at how long it's taking us to adjust to French time. I was sure we'd be settled by this morning, but 5 of our 6 kids (everyone but Betty) woke up last night between 2:00am and 5:00am and hung out in our bedroom. Hah! So we ended up cancelling our morning appointments and sleeping in as long as possible. Do you have any crazy jet lag stories? Feel free to commiserate with me. : )
In happier news, we have Olympic roadtrip plans this weekend and we're excited! We drive to Calais, France in the morning and take a ferry to Dover, England. We'll spend Sunday in London and head back the next day. A very short trip! But it should be lots of fun. Readers in London have been sending in tips to get the most out of our time there. Feel free to add your own if you have any advice. We need all the help we can get. We can't wait to soak up the Olympics atmosphere!
It seems crazy to be taking a roadtrip when we're not even over our jetlag yet. But it seems even more crazy to have the Olympics so close and not join the fun. So we're going for it! Will you be watching the Olympics this weekend? Any other fun plans?
While we get packed up, here are a few things I've wanted to share with you:
– Albert Einstein gets some new knits!
– A much safer succulent.
– A site overflowing with lovely advice.
– Airstream makeover.
– Lots of fantastic pins this week.
Plus, 3 of my posts on Cafémom:
– Creative + Functional Home Offices.
– The Coolest Backyard Chicken Coops.
– A beautiful Nursery in a Master Bedroom Nook.
And 3 fun slideshows on Babble (have you noticed how speedy they are now?):
– 21 Etsy Shops You Don't Want to Miss.
– Love comfy sneakers? Here are 23 Stylish Outfits You Can Wear With Sneakers.

A $463 million Marin County budget for next fiscal year, up about 4 percent or $17.4 million from this year's program, appeared headed for swift approval this week as officials zipped through a program discussed in detail during earlier policy hearings.
Monday morning's formal session reviewing overall spending plans will be followed by a session on capital expenditures and special district programs at 9 a.m. Wednesday.
Supervisors appeared in accord with spending outlined by the administration, although some uncertainty centered on a raft of last-minute pleas for funds by special-interest groups.
But the message of the day was that after years of revenue shortfalls, spending cutbacks and other changes in business as usual, the sun is shining amid an economic rebound: The budget is balanced and on course to stay that way.
The general fund budget that accounts for most spending is $372 million, or about $50,000 less than this fiscal year. About 40 percent of the increase in overall spending, including special district programs that are part of the $463 million plan, is due to the Measure A sales tax increase.
The county spending plan calls for a workforce of 2,039 employees, 19 fewer than last year. No layoffs are planned.
County Administrator Matthew Hymel and his chief budget aide, Deputy Administrator Dan Eilerman, outlined the spending program, with Hymel calling it "a good news budget" that didn't hold many surprises in light of policy decisions by supervisors earlier in the fiscal year.
An audience of about 45 people was dominated by county officials and top aides, but about a dozen agency representatives and advocates showed up to lobby for pet programs. Senior Access, which will get a $100,000 county grant, and the Center for Domestic Peace, which will get $125,000, asked for more. The Marin County Law Library, reporting it was bleeding red ink at the rate of $6,000 a month, wanted the county to lend a hand. Bread and Roses, Next Generation and several others sought funding.
Supervisors may revise allocations on Wednesday, but beyond that, officials asked the staff to report back with what Supervisor Katie Rice called an "integrated, holistic approach" to dealing with domestic violence that includes mental health services, shelter and other factors.
The budget includes $12.5 million to pay down retiree health care liability, as well as a $2 million pension reserve fund allowing officials to ease annual costs if volatile market conditions or changes in funding policies or investment earning rates occur.
Supervisor Susan Adams, saying "the press" used "old numbers" in reports of pension liabilities, contended that officials are on track to close an unfunded liability gap. She told staff to "dial in on the range" of unfunded liability facing taxpayers so that "the public has a better understanding."
Next fiscal year's overall budget sets aside $78 million to cover pensions and retiree health, up from $75 million this year. Retiree liability facing taxpayers ranges from the roughly $683 million cited by county officials to more than $2 billion cited by Stanford academics who used conservative investment earning assumptions. The retiree health liability alone was "$293 million or about $2,627 per county household," the civil grand jury warned a week ago. The jury reported the county's retiree health liability was 92 percent unfunded, and the county pension liability was 25 percent unfunded. To pay down liability, the county this year provided an extra $46 million to retirement benefit accounts, on top of $75 million already allocated.
"We've done a lot but we still have a big liability in front of us," said Supervisor Steve Kinsey.
Board president Judy Arnold noted the budget document is well organized and illuminating, and provides "interesting reading" for those interested in county affairs. It is available online at www.marincounty.org.

Hospital bed can't hold heavy mum
A 38-stone woman has given birth through caesarian section to a healthy baby in Romania.
Bucharest University Emergency Hospital said 25-year-old Victoria Lacatus had a girl weighing 6.4 pounds lbs.
A spokesman said the mother was being carefully monitored for post-surgery complications because she is morbidly obese.
Ms Lacatus was transported from her village in southern Romania to Bucharest because the local city hospital did not have any beds that could bear her weight.

Zurich (Jan. 4)
The Nazi-controlled Prague radio station today broadcast a warning to the Czech population to refrain from helping Jews in the Protectorate.
"The fate which the Jews met and still are meeting may also be meted out to those people among the European nations who still support the Jews and the enemy," the broadcast stated.
The Nazi press and radio in Norway has renewed its attacks on the Norwegian church leaders. A Nazi broadcast today quotes a Quislingite newspaper in Oslo as reporting that a pastoral letter "glorifying the Jews" was again read from the pulpits of churches in Norway this past Sunday. The paper warns that friends of the Jews in Norway will be considered enemies of the present regime and will be dealt with accordingly.

The big regulatory story in 2008 continues to be REACH legislation in Europe. REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemical Substances) came into force July 1, 2007, and June 1, 2008, saw the start of pre-registration of substances.
The European Flavour and Fragrance Association (EFFA), a member of the International Fragrance Association (IFRA), has been busy helping to set up (pre-)consortia, approximately 20 thus far, to help the industry organize itself and (pre-)register substances on time.
The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA), the organization responsible for managing REACH, is now open for business in Helsinki, Finland. Unsurprisingly, there have been some issues in ramping up to serve an influx of registrations, with various software programs not being ready and some procedural glitches. However, pre-registration of substances is taking place as planned, and will continue until the deadline of Dec. 1, 2008.
The fragrance industry was one of the first sectors to respond to the demands of REACH and to get organized. This came naturally to an industry that has been regulating itself for more than 30 years through the IFRA Code of Practice, IFRA Standards and the more recently added compliance program.
The IFRA Standards form the basis for the globally accepted and recognized risk management system for the safe use of fragrance ingredients and are part of the IFRA Code of Practice. IFRA announced the 43rd Amendment to the IFRA Code of Practice in July of this year. This amendment relates to a total of 60 standards, eight of which are new standards based on IFRA's new Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA); 26 remain unchanged—though the format in which they are presented has changed—and another 26 are related to materials with pre-existing standards that required updating.

Westlake may be a sister city to Tralee, Ireland. But in the two contests for the title of Northern Ohio Rose, being from Westlake or even the Westshore has apparently not been an advantage.
The 2012 Northern Ohio Rose crown was awarded to the finalist who lives the farthest distance from Westlake. Ashley Speaker, who lives in Southington, in Trumbull County, was awarded the title Friday night at a ceremony at La Centre Conference and Banquet Center in Westlake.
The 24-year-old substitute teacher will travel to Ireland May 30 to participate in the regional finals for the international Rose of Tralee title. Named after a 19th-century ballad about unrequited love, the contest is part of a week-long festival in Tralee. The contest is open to unmarried women, ages 18-27, of Irish descent. Judging is based on communication skills, poise, personality and talent. The final segment of the contest is broadcast nationally in Ireland.
"I'm in disbelief right now," Speaker told West Life just minutes after being awarded the title. "It won't sink in for a long time, I'm sure."
Speaker said she learned about the Northern Ohio Rose contest after doing a Google search for Ohio Irish festivals. She also read about it in the Irish American News.
Speaker has already been to Ireland, having studied there for a two-week period while attending Hiram College, where she earned a degree in Social Studies Education.
She told West Life of her interest in the Irish national movement and how the island's history is so closely tied to the character of its people.
"It was really inspiring to see all the hardships the Irish people went though to where they are now," she said.
Last year's Northern Ohio Rose, Bridget Linton, also hailed from outside Cuyahoga County. A broadcast journalism major at the University of Akron, Linton said Friday's ceremony was bittersweet for her. She has remained friends with other Rose contestants she met from around the world through Facebook.
Linton said she would advise her successor to take in every moment of the experience. "It really is the experience of a lifetime," she said.
Annie Dunn, a Fairview Park native who held the title of 2009 Ohio Rose (awarded by a different Rose affiliate), served as one of six judges for this year's competition.
"I could not tell you how difficult being a judge was," she said, adding that she expected one of the six finalists would stand out above the others.
The winner was selected by a points system, explained Dunn, who said judges were looking for a woman who could be confident in a variety of situations. "It wasn't a landslide," she added.
The other 2012 finalists were Brenna Behan, of Westlake; Mary Cooper, of Euclid; Madeline Fox, of Lakewood; Caitlin Mackin, of Westlake; and Tara Quinn, of South Euclid.
The Northern Ohio Rose competition is run by Westlake World Partners, a nonprofit corporation formed to work with the city in pursuing its sister city relationships. Westlake Mayor Dennis Clough and City Council President Mike Killeen are among the founders of Westlake World Partners.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Morgan Stanley ( MS) was the winner among the largest U.S. banks on Friday, with shares rising over 1% to close at $18.05. The Dow Jones Industrial Average
and S&P 500 ( SPX.X) index both saw slight declines and the NASDAQ Composite was down 1%, as shares of Apple ( AAPL) fell 4% to close at $509.02. A Delaware court on Thursday ruled that Apple's iPhone violated three patents held by Sony ( SNE) and Nokia ( NOK). UBS analyst Steven Milunovich on Friday maintained his "Buy" rating on Apple, but lowered his price target for the shares to $700 from $780, while reducing his 2013 earnings estimate for the company to $47.00 from $51.50, and his 2014 EPS estimate to $55.85 from $62.00. The analyst said although UBS was "not altering our Dec quarter numbers materially, we have taken five million iPhones and two million iPads out of the Mar, June, and Sep quarters. Our EPS estimates go down about 10% and are now roughly 5% below consensus." Milunovich added that "although analyst estimates may need to be trimmed, we don't think the story is over. We expect that China Mobile may start to sell iPhones in the Dec quarter." The lack of progress on the Fiscal Cliff negotiations in Washington seemed to outweigh two decent economic reports. The Federal Reserve said that U.S. industrial production increased by 1.1% in November, following a downwardly revised decline of 0.7% in October, while industrial capacity utilization increased to 78.4% from a revised 77.7%. HSBC said that its Flash China Manufacturing Purchasing Managers Index rose to a 14-month high of 50.9 in December from 50.5 in November. A PMI reading above 50 indicates expansion. HSBC chief economist for China Hongbin Qu said that the December reading "confirmed that China's ongoing growth recovery is gaining momentum mainly driven by domestic demand conditions. However, the drop of new export orders and the downside surprise of November exports growth suggest the persisting external headwinds. This calls for Beijing to keep an accommodative policy stance to counter-balance the external weakness, provided inflation stays benign." The KBW Bank Index ( I:BKX) declined slightly to close at 49.26, with all but five of the 24 index components ending the week declines.

"True Blood" star Lauren Bowles is a genuine wellness junkie. In fact, she calls herself a nutritionista.
"I used to say nutrition nerd but then I felt I was devaluing it," she reveals to Healthy Hollywood.
I have to say I loved chatting health & wellness with Lauren. I'm even going to adopt her moniker, "nutritionista" and use it for myself. Love it!
I get excited when a celebrity I interview turns out to be truly into taking care of themselves and, of course, passing on all their healthy living gems to the rest of us folks.
"You kind of become your own science experiment. I have tried everything from veganism to vegetarianism to being gluten-free. I have come to balance point in my life and I know what works for me," adds Lauren.
I get you, girl, you're talking to someone who has experimented with every food plan, is a constant seeker of wellness information and will give just about anything a go.
The 41-year-old actress tells me she really took her healthy eating up a notch when she found out she was pregnant
"I thought, 'I guess I should clean up my act.' I was a complete pregnant nerd and I loved every aspect of it. I was very diligent about what I eat and post-pregnancy once you discover how to eat healthy, you can't un-know it," adds Lauren.
Lauren's daughter, Fia, is now 5. And, she and her husband, actor Patrick Fischler, are both self-proclaimed foodies who are devoted to passing on their habits to their daughter.
"She's been brought up this way, so it's all she's known. She tried an Oreo cookie once at a party and grimaced and handed it back to me because she's grown up on real food. So, when your palette is set that way anything processed tastes so odd," says Lauren.
Lauren, who stays busy with her role as witchy waitress Holly Cleary on the hit HBO series, which is about to kick off its final season, reveals her trick to making sure the whole family eats healthy is preparation. "When something becomes your way of life, you don't think of it as hard, you just make it happen. You can do small things such as on Sundays, or your day off, make a vat of quinoa or steam some vegetables then you can mix and match stuff with just a little forethought. It becomes a fun hobby you can get the whole family involved in and it makes your life so much easier."
And, my new wellness buddy actually got me excited to try an LA-based wellness treatment. I am headed to LA this weekend to attend the Daytime Emmys and celebrate with my co-workers our nomination (and hopeful win).
Yet, before I attend Sunday's event, Lauren convinced me to try her latest obsession, an urban sweat house, called Shape House. "You got to try it, is so relaxing," she exclaimed and added, "Any sweat you can get is amazing. It gets all the toxins out of your body. You leave with that glow and feeling so amazing."
Thanks, Lauren, I booked my appointment for Saturday afternoon and will write about my experience next week.
-- Terri MacLeod

Former Ross Valley Sanitary District general manager Brett Richards pleaded not guilty to all charges at an arraignment Friday in Marin Superior Court.
Richards is facing nine felony counts, including misappropriation of public funds, embezzlement and money-laundering. He is accused of taking a $350,000 housing loan from the Ross Valley Sanitary District that he never used for housing. He could face a maximum 10 years in prison and fines totaling $1.5 million if found guilty.
At the request of Richards' lawyers, Judge Terrence Boren scheduled a May 2 hearing to set a date for a trial. Marin County District Attorney Ed Berberian, who is prosecuting the case, objected to the delay in scheduling the date.
"I believe that to be an excessive amount of time," Berberian said.
Richards' co-counsel, Jai Gohel, said he is anticipating substantial discovery.
"We're not going to be sitting idle," Gohel said.
Following the hearing, Gohel said, "We're doing Public Records Act requests, and we are also, at least at this point, intending to issue some more subpoenas and get all the information we think is relevant to the defense."
Last year Richards' lawyers sought the court's permission to subpoena reams of information from several district board members, the district itself, the county of Marin and the Central Marin Sanitation Agency. Judge Boren denied most, if not all, of the requests, Berberian said.
Gohel also told Judge Boren that he would be filing a request to reduce Richards' bail. Richards has been held in Marin County Jail since August 2013 on $1 million bail after being arrested in the Philippines.
Richards' co-counsel, Michael Clough, said that this week Richards made an offer to settle the civil suit the Ross Valley Sanitary District has filed against him due to his alleged misuse of the housing loan.
In a letter to the district, Clough wrote, "Because he is currently incarcerated and facing criminal charges, Mr. Richards is obviously not in a position to pay off the loan at present. However, in exchange for dismissing all claims alleging fraud, Mr. Richards is prepared to enter into an agreement confirming his obligation to repay the loan and committing him to make all possible efforts to do so after the criminal proceedings end, regardless of their outcome."
Mary Sylla, president of the Ross Valley Sanitary District board, said, "He was already under a legal obligation to pay back the money so promising to pay back the money in return for a settlement at this point seems a little odd."

Generation X indeed
This was one of the funniest cartoons that were released in the year 2002. What is truly fascinating is that the animation is this is just as good as it would be as it is in your stuff today. I love how you use your voice so well in this, especially with the Toyman and Solomon Grundy. Osama bin Laden is so funny seeing as how he gets so angrier than anybody. It is among the best satirical pieces about the war on terror. The ending is also really cool in that it shows another nostalgic cartoon, even if I did not watch it.

Super Bowl XLVI was built up in so many ways. Coach versus coach, QB versus QB and, of course, two classy organizations battling for bragging rights.
This was the rematch of the 2008 Super Bowl, when the Giants defense harassed Tom Brady all game long while the offense provided some late game heroics to win the game, which, ironically enough, is how this game played out as well.
I talked all week about match-ups and momentum. In my opinion, the Giants had the advantage in both categories coming into the game. New York pulled things together as a team when it mattered the most, at the end of the season. That always makes for a dangerous team in the playoffs.
The game revealed two evenly matched teams. It would take nearly 60 minutes for the better one to emerge.
It came down to the fact that when a play needed to be made, it was the Giants that made it. There were turnover opportunities for the Patriots but they were unable to get the ball.
Both QB's did a great job of protecting the ball, but Tom Brady had a costly interception that I feel may have changed the outcome of the game. It came on a drive that could have melted time off the clock and potentially made it a two possession game. That's when Chase Blackburn came up with one of the big plays of the game by picking off Brady's deep ball and putting the game in Eli Manning hands. Manning didn't disappoint.
It was a well played game and it could've gone either way, down to the last play. That's when a game like the Super Bowl is at its best. Anyone who says it was a boring game or didn't live up to the hype is merely trying to be a contrarian. This was a game filled with memorable moments and boasted a very distinguished cast of players.
So congratulations to the Giants for taking a season filled with peaks and valleys and making the best of it, turning their season around when it counted and riding that wave all the way to a championship.
