Interested in a friendly, informal conversation with a member of the staff at Counseling & Psychological Services? Just walk in for a confidential consultation! Speaking with a counselor consultant can help provide support, insight, solutions, and information about other resources.
Let's Talk is a mental health program that provides drop-in consultations for University of Cincinnati students. It's free, no appointment is necessary, and students are seen on a first-come, first-served basis.
Let's Talk is not a substitute for formal counseling and doesn't constitute mental health treatment but the counseling consultants can listen to your specific problems and introduce you to what it's like to speak to a member of our staff.
No topic is off limits. Common concerns include:
- stress
- sadness
- worry
- relationships
- academic performance
- family problems
- financial struggles
Let's Talk Schedule
Please note: Consultants may not begin new conversations with students within the last 15 minutes of the shift.
Day | Time | Location | Contact |
Monday | 12:30 - 2:30 P.M |
College of Law; Center for Professional Development- Room 201 | Jennifer Young, PhD |
Thursday | 1:00-3:00pm | Ethnic Programs & Services (EPS)- 559 Steger Student Life Center | Nzingha Dalila, Ed.D |
Who should visit Let's Talk?
Any student can come to a Let's Talk consultation, but it's the best fit for students who:
- Aren't sure about counseling or wonder what it's like to talk to a counselor;
- Aren't interested in ongoing counseling but would like the perspective of a counselor;
- Have a specific problem and would like someone with whom to talk it through; or
- Have a concern about a friend or family member and would like ideas about what to do.
Times and locations occasionally change throughout the semester. Check back for the most up-to-date information.

Question: These maggots have recently appeared on our kitchen ceiling. They are quite sticky and very active. Are you able to identify them and advise what we should do about them if more appear?
Maggots on the ceilingPhotographer/Source: Richard Clivaz
Answer: The "maggots" in your photograph are actually the larvae of a moth, most probably the Indian Meal Moth. We would need to examine the larvae under a microscope to confirm this.
Check for any open or damaged food products in the pantry – the moth larvae may be feeding on flour, corn, broken grains, seeds, powdered milk, cereals, chocolate, biscuits, dried fruits, nuts, dog foods, etc. The larvae of some species produce mats of webbing over the food products which should make an infestation obvious.
You will need to check all rooms of the house for possible food sources such as dog food in a laundry. The larvae can move away from where they have been feeding when they are ready to pupate (which is probably what they were doing on your ceiling), so if you find them in one room it doesn't necessarily mean that's where they have been feeding.
We would be happy to identify any adult moths or larvae you have. Call the Discovery Centre at MelbourneMuseum on 8341 7111 for instructions on how to get specimens to us. The Discovery Centre is open between 10am and 4:30pm seven days a week. Entry is free.
We love receiving comments, but can't always respond.
Hi Anne, if you can take a photo and send it in, we will have the entomologist take a look and try to identify the critters. Alternatively, you can collect some and drop them into the Discovery Centre, please quote your enquiry number, DC ENQ 5739.
Hi Lisa,
If you follow the advice in the text you should minimise the chances of Indian Meal Moths surviving and increasing in numbers in your home. The Museum can't advise on pest control as we are not involved in this field. You would need to decide if you wanted to use chemicals near your food. If you make sure there is no chance for the moths to gain access to a food source they should not be able to survive. Good Luck.

Beautiful Mystery Bling!
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
This clutch was a glitter-ball of amazing glamour! I paired it with RTR Ciner earrings, and a store-bought dress (that I was forced to purchase at the last minute because my RTR dress didn't work).
Only two drawbacks to the clutch:
(1) The snap closure isn't tight. I was very aware of how easily it could have opened - be careful! I didn't have any catastrophes, but with a few more cocktails I could have!!
(2) Size is a little small. I tried to carry my iPhone (no case), credit card and driver's license (loose), two $20 bills, blotting sheets and lipstick. Man I struggled arranging things so it would all fit. And that's traveling light for me!
In the end, however - a very statement piece to add. Would probably rent again if/when I wear this cocktail dress.

Perfect something borrowed for my wedding
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
This was the perfect something borrowed for my wedding day! Some glitz and glam without being over the top... big enough to fit my iPhone, lipstick, lipgloss, powder. And not too 'bridaly' so my bridesmaids were perfectly fine carrying it around for the whole day!

For a dress that needs some sparkle. It is a little small - was able to fit lip liner, lipstick and phone with the right arrangement. Followed previous reviews.

I had lipstick, iPhone 5, cash and ID and it wouldn't always close unless I very carefully placed the lipstick above the iPhone. It's very pretty though!

Dinner is offered Saturday at 7 p.m.
Beginning March 8 our Saturday dinners will begin at 8 p.m.
Our farm to fork dinners return July 19.
B&B guests need to make separate dinner reservations if you would like to partake of our Saturday evening dinner. Just mention dinner under "special needs" on our electronic reservation form. (Please note that you cannot reserve dinner on evenings of murder mystery events if you are not participating since dinner is part of the fun!) Reservations are required by noon Wednesday in order for us to plan, purchase food and prepare accordingly. Each evening's menu is posted below. Innkeepers host this casual dinner.
Other food options are not available on Saturday evenings. Only whole house rentals may request a change in the menu. Our dining room is not open to the public. Price is per person.
Advisory: It may be harmful to your health to order rare or medium-rare undercooked meats.
Menu schedule
All dinners include homemade bread, soft drinks, coffee or tea. Wine may be purchased after Feb. 14. Because we are a bonded and licensed winery, guests may no longer bring their own alcoholic beverages to the dining table.
All pork, registered Scottish Highland beef and lamb dinners are from animals we have raised here on the farm with natural (nearly organic) methods. Desert is optional. We offer through February a delicious Creme de Menthe cheesecake for $5 a serving.
Valentine's weekend dinners do include the dessert listed.
We will offer complimentary Wisconsin wines with dinner through Feb. 8.
Dinner reservations must be made by noon Wednesday each week.
Saturday, Jan. 25 ($25 per person) creamy cole slaw, Scandinavian meatballs, mashed potatoes, pepper parmesan beans.
Saturday, Feb. 1 ($15 per person) garden salad, baked pork chops with brown rice pilaf, sauteed vegetable medley
Saturday, Feb. 8 ($15 per person) garden salad, pork roast with rosemary and thyme, hubbard squash, sauteed vegetable medley
Friday, Feb. 14 Valentine's Day Dinner ($25 per person) blue cheese waldorf salad, mustard basil chicken breast with white wine mustard sauce, long grain and wild rice, sauteed vegetable medley, chocolate peanut butter cheesecake.
Saturday, Feb. 15 Valentine's Dinner ($25 per person) pear and greens salad with maple vinaigrette, fork tender beef roast in red wine, oven baked potatoes, green peas, spiced carrots, flourless chocolate cake
Saturday, Feb. 22 ($15 per person) seven-layer salad, Scandinavian meatballs, mashed potatoes, pepper parmesan beans
Though nearly every Saturday night dinner throughout the year consists of some foods grown or raised on the farm, we offer special dinners during the growing season. With the exception of the bread, 90 to 100 percent of these farm to fork dinners are grown on site. Guests can literally be in touch with their food source. We are the ONLY B&B in Wisconsin to offer this special meal. Vegetables and fruit are from our organic kitchen gardens. All pork, lamb and registered Scottish Highland beef is raised here on the farm under humane conditions. Chicken is sourced nearby. No antibiotics or growth hormones are in our corn-based cattle feeds. All grass and hay is raised organically.
Build your own picnic package!
We'll loan you our picnic baskets and a blanket so you may enjoy dining alfresco on our lovely nature trails, porch or patio. Or eat in your room if you like. We can also brown bag it to go if you're leaving for the day or checking out.
Salad and sandwiches are available anytime and are priced from $4 to $6. (Not all all sandwich and salad items are available everyday -- it's always best to request in advance.) They make great picnic lunches for enjoying on our beautiful hiking trails or purchase to enjoy with wine tasting.

Verde Canyon Railroad
The Verde Canyon Railroad takes you on a trip through Southwest regions rich with indigenous flora and fauna throughout the Verde Valley. Asphalt, concrete and tension drift away as you cruise from Clarkdale to Perkinsville at a smooth 12 miles per hour.
Along the journey, the vintage train cars wind their way through Arizona wilderness and your senses come alive. You hear the wheels echo off the canyon walls, feel the gentle wind kiss your cheek, taste Arizona's special blend of fresh air or spy a majestic Bald Eagle effortlessly floating on a breeze.
The train passes towering crimson pinnacles, ancient Indian ruins, fortified trestles, a monocline fault and a manmade 680-foot tunnel on a four-hour rail journey from the old mining town of Clarkdale to the Perkinsville ghost ranch and back.
As you cruise, enjoy deliciously prepared meals paired with wine made locally at some of Arizona's most renowned vineyards.

Nine Inch Nails Reveals Four Covers for New Album
Artist Russell Mills combined traditional materials like oil and acrylic paints with sundry objects that he subjected to various chemical processes, including burning, bleaching, calcification and erosion.
Nine Inch Nails' forthcoming new album, Hesitation Marks, will feature four different covers. The band revealed the album art, which was created by artist Russell Mills, earlier today. Mills has previously collaborated with the Trent Reznor-led group -- he created the artwork for 1994's The Downward Spiral as well as several other Nine Inch Nails releases from that period.
The four covers correspond to the four formats in which the album will be released on Sept. 3. Each also boasts its own title: Turn And Burn (digital), Time and Again (standard CD), Cargo in the Blood (Deluxe CD) and Other Murmurs (vinyl). To create the artwork, Mills combined traditional materials like oil and acrylic paints with sundry objects that he subjected to a variety of chemical processes, including burning, bleaching, calcification and erosion. Some of the objects used in the art include blood, copper wire and rusted linen.
PHOTOS: And Then There Was One... Music's Most Successful Breakout Solo Acts
"This renewed collaboration very quickly suggested massive potential for the strange and the familiar to collide and collude in works that I hoped would encapsulate, by allusion, suggestion, metaphor and association, the conceptual ideas imbued in the album as well as in the undertow of its sonic world," Mills said in a press release. "I've tried to make works that obliquely allude to the essence of the subject matter, to its emotional core. I hope that they will invite multiple readings."
He added further explanation on NIN's Tumblr page. "The works explore ideas of catharsis, of being into dissolution into being, both on a personal and sociological level," Mills wrote. "They allude to ideas about chaos and order. They deal with ways of suggesting presence in absence. They are a cross between the forensic and a pathology of the personal in which only fragments remain, in which minimal clues can suggest events that may have occurred. They attempt to harness the chaos of a situation, of now, of the personal trauma, of the human condition, into a form that is coherent, a form that accommodates the mess without disguising it as something else. It attempts to capture the essence of these ideas by implication and exclusion. Beneath the form lies the uncertainty and ceaseless flux of the mess, of the chaos."
STORY: David Lynch's 'The Big Dream': What the Critics are Saying
Mills has previously produced artwork for albums by such artists as Brian Eno, David Sylvian and Peter Gabriel, and for books by Samuel Beckett and Ian McEwan. His artwork, just a few of 30 pieces he created for the album's packaging, joins the recent David Lynch-directed video for Hesitation Marks' first single, "Came Back Haunted."
Hesitation Marks marks Nine Inch Nails' first album for Columbia Records. The band will be headlining Lollapalooza and Outside Lands in August before embarking on a North American tour this fall.

ProHealth Care announced the addition of oncology and hematology physician Laura Raftery, MD, who recently began seeing patients at ProHealth Care Regional Cancer Centers in Oconomowoc and Waukesha. Dr. Raftery treats all types of cancer, with a particular interest in breast and gynecologic cancers.
Dr. Raftery attended medical school and completed her residency and fellowship at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine. She is a board-certified physician in internal medicine, hematology and medical oncology.
"I was drawn to practice oncology for many reasons, the most important of which is the special relationship that develops between the patient, his or her family and the physician," said Dr. Raftery. "It is important to listen carefully to the patient and communicate clearly along each step of the journey — a journey many patients find physically and emotionally difficult. I believe each patient's mind and spirit should be considered along with the physical body. I am committed to helping a patient make choices in keeping with his or her goals and values, and I strive to deliver leading-edge cancer care with compassion."

Total mail volume began to grow again and, from 1992 through 2000, reached record levels. Then, in 2001, the Postal Service again saw a slight drop in total mail volume compared to the previous year. The 9/11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center buildings caused a tragic loss of human lives and rippled out to affect many areas. One was to intensify recessionary effects on the mailing and advertising industry. In 2002, total mail volume dropped to 202.8 billion pieces, down nearly five billion pieces from the previous year.
In 2005, for the first time, the volume of Standard Mail exceeded that of First-Class Mail. However, First-Class Mail continued to generate more revenue than any other class of mail. In 2006, the Postal Service sorted and delivered more than 213 billion pieces of mail, about 40 percent of the world's total mail volume and more than any other postal administration in the world.
In Closing,
In 2001, the USPS created a television commercial edited to Carly Simon's song "Let the River Run" The commercial, which ran after the 911 attacks and the anthrax mailings, featured no voice over, only the following text interspersed on title cards"
"We are mothers and fathers. And sons and daughters. Who every day go about our lives with duty, honor and pride. And neither snow, nor rain, nor heat, nor gloom of night, nor the winds of change, nor a nation challenged, will stay us from the swift completion of our appointed rounds" Ever"
In 2006, 224,400 letter carriers delivered mail in the nation's cities.

Partially correct. You can eat the seeds. Squirrels love 'em too. It's a ton of work to get them out. The taste is similar to sunflower seeds.

[–]cynikalAhole99 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago
Thanks - I did not know about the seeds being possibly edible. When I was a kid I licked the bitter pungent inside of the fruit to my grandfathers laughter. I learned a lot of uses for the tree/wood and fruit but eating any part was not on that list.
[–]Sludgehammer 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
I've always wondered how hard it would be to breed them into an edible fruit. There's even a closely related plant, Silkworm Thorn, that's edible.

Bartell Hurst Foursome: vintage 8x10 photo
The Bartell Hurst foursome was an acrobatic dance team that was popular in burlesque and vaudeville in the late 1930s and into the 1940s. This photo was used to advertise their appearance at the Edgewater Beach Hotel in Chicago, IL. The Edgewater Beach Hotel had a private beach and water access and even offered seaplane service to downtown Chicago. The hotel eventually closed in the 1960s, when a mid 1950s extension of Lake Shore Drive cut the hotel off from beach access. But in its heyday it hosted the biggest names in entertainment - including Benny Goodman, Glenn Miller, Tommy Dorsey and many more - and even broadcasted from its own radio station.
Julie Jenner (Stege): vintage cigarette card photo. Cigarettes use to include small format photos of movie star, dancers or pin up girls in each package - like early collectible or trading cards. It was a promotion, of course, to encourage people to buy more cigarettes and collect all the cards in each series. The scan of the back is of a card from a different dancer, but I included it so you could see the ornate back!
Julie Jenner (Stege): vintage 8x10 photo. Julie was a Ziegfeld Follies dancer when WWII began. Feeling the patriotic need to contribute to the war effort, Julie hung up her dancing shoes, and enlisted in the Women's Airforce Service Piolts (WASPs). She flew through out the war. After the war she married (Stege) and raised 3 children. Unfortunately, we lost this little spitfire of a lady in June 2009.

FOX Sports Exclusive
Cassel, Winslow smart plays Week 7
We're six weeks into the season, meaning that the Position vs. Fantasy Defensive Points Allowed tool has meaningful sample sizes. The bye weeks continue, making matchup-hunting a popular and necessary strategy.
Please keep in mind that the players listed are mostly meant to be borderline guys, who need reasons for you to play or bench them. You won't see a recommendation to start Aaron Rodgers and Adrian Peterson, because you should always start Aaron Rodgers and Adrian Peterson. Make sense? Good.
Note: The fantasy points referenced below are from FOXSports.com standard leagues.
Week 7 Byes: Bills, Bengals, Patriots, Giants, Eagles, 49ers
Stay away: Kevin Kolb, Cardinals (vs. Steelers)
Kolb is averaging 256 passing yards per game, making him a tempting bye-week start. However, the Steelers have been shutting down opposing quarterbacks, giving up just 18 completions, 174 yards and 12.8 Fantasy Points Per Game (FPPG). You should be able to find a better QB option. We'll even suggest one for you a couple of paragraphs down.
• Mark Sanchez has averaged just 162 passing yards over his last three games, and this week the Jets host the Chargers, who rank in the top third of the league with 16.7 FPPG allowed to opposing quarterbacks. Keep the Sanchize on your fantasy bench this week.
Play, play, play: Matt Cassel, Chiefs (at Raiders)
There will be plenty of hoopla surrounding Carson Palmer's Raider debut on Sunday, but he's probably not going to be the best fantasy quarterback on the field. Palmer's teammates rank 29th in the league with 23.5 fantasy points allowed to opposing QBs, and even though Jackie Battle looked pretty good in Week 5, the Chiefs' running game is suspect without Jamaal Charles. Cassel might have to throw quite a bit for them to have a chance, and should put up solid numbers.
• Bears QB Jay Cutler may have told offensive coordinator Mike Martz to go $#@! himself on Sunday night due to a constant lack of protection, but Cutler has been putting up solid fantasy numbers this season, throwing eight touchdown passes and averaging 246 yards. On Sunday in London, Cutler will throw against the slightly below average Bucs' defense (19.6 FPPG to opposing QBs). The local fans might not have any idea what's going on when Cutler has another strong outing, but we will.
Running Backs
Stay away: Peyton Hillis, Browns (vs. Seahawks)
Hillis might miss the game with a hamstring injury, and if he does, this warning goes for Montario Hardesty as well. The Seahawks are pretty good against the run, allowing just 16.6 FPPG to opposing running backs, and just a shade over three yards per carry. Bet the under on this game, and don't expect the Browns to do much damage on the ground.
• James Starks is a solid platoon back, but he's had just one game with more than 63 yards on the ground, and hasn't carried the ball more than 13 times. The Vikings' penchant for giving up rushing touchdowns has them allowing 20 FPPG to opposing backs, but they're permitting just 76.5 yards per game to those backs, which ranks fifth in the NFL. Combine that with the here-to-stay Starks/Ryan Grant timeshare, and you probably want to keep Starks on the bench under most circumstances this week.
Play, play, play: DeMarco Murray, Cowboys (vs. Rams)
Is Murray a superstar in the making? Probably not, and his offensive line isn't very good at opening holes. However, the Rams' run defense has been getting shredded, giving up a league-worst (by a lot) 161.8 yards rushing yards per game. Murray has been the most popular add this week on FOXSports.com, and with good reason. He's a solid fantasy start in Week 7.
• Are you giving up on Ryan Torain after his gigantic disappointment in Week 6? Go ahead, but I'm sticking with him. The Redskins will start John Beck at quarterback, so they'll probably want to run the ball to take pressure off him. The Panthers haven't been very good against the run, giving up a league-high 28.3 points to opposing running backs. If Tim Hightower wasn't around, Torain would be one of fantasy's best starts in Week 7. Even with Hightower posing a threat, Torain is worth playing as a bye-week replacement. Don't break my heart, Mike Shanahan.
Wide Receivers
Stay away: Santonio Holmes, Jets (vs. Chargers)
Holmes has caught a TD pass in each of the last two games, but has pedestrian totals of 20 receptions and 287 receiving yards for this season. This week, he faces a Chargers' defense that has allowed just 13.1 FPPG (second in the league) to opposing wideouts. If you want to bet on a Holmes breakout, you might want to wait a couple of weeks.
• Arizona's Early Doucet has been a somewhat popular free-agent pickup since his eight-catch, 92-yard (and 17-target) performance in Week 5. However, the Cardinals apparently spent the bye week figuring out ways to get the ball to Larry Fitzgerald more often, and as we mentioned in Kevin Kolb's entry above, the Steelers are very strong against the pass. They've allowed a league-low 12.7 FPPG to opposing wide receivers, and if Fitz's workload picks up, that won't leave much room for Doucet to succeed.
NFL Sim-Matchup
Love NFL history? Simulate any NFL game for FREE! Check out Whatifsports.com's NFL SimMatchup.Play, play, play: Mike Williams, Buccaneers (vs. Bears)
Williams has been a fantasy disappointment this season, with 25 catches for 242 yards and a score through six games. However, he's been targeted eight, nine and 13 times over the last three games, and faces a very average Bears' passing defense this week (21.2 FPPG to WRs). Tampa Mike is going to break out one of these weeks, and you won't want him on the fantasy bench when that happens.
• We mentioned above that the Seahawks' defense has been strong against the run, but they've been subpar against the pass, permitting 24 FPPG (19th in the league) to opposing wide receivers. Greg Little is quickly becoming a featured performer in the Browns' offense, catching six passes in each of his last two games, and getting 12 targets in Week 6. Whenever Colt McCoy throws this week, Little is likely to be his first option. Play him if you have him.
Tight Ends
Stay away: Jared Cook, Titans (vs. Texans)
With the Patriots' twin tight end monsters on a bye this week, many fantasy owners will be looking for a temporary fill-in. You might be tempted to grab Cook in the wake of his 80-yard touchdown in Week 4 and his four-reception, 59-yard game in Week 5. Beware, because the Texans have been stingy against opposing tight ends, allowing fewer than three receptions and just 4.3 FPPG. You can do better than Cook.
• The Cardinals have allowed tight ends to catch just 19 passes in five games this season. Pittsburgh's Heath Miller is usually just a so-so fantasy option, and with 10 catches for 88 yards in his last three games, he's a worse option than usual against Arizona on Sunday. Miller has good games sometimes, but you can't count on him.
Play, play, play: Kellen Winslow, Buccaneers (vs. Bears)
Cutler, Mike Williams and now Winslow. Are we in for a London shootout between the Bears and Bucs? Probably not, but the Bears have been fantasy's worst team against tight ends this season, allowing 12.5 FPPG. Since they haven't played the Patriots like some of the other bad-against-tight-end teams, that number looks even worse. Winslow is usually a low TE1 who can be benched depending on matchups, but he's a rock-solid start in Week 7.
• Rams rookie Lance Kendricks was a fantasy sleeper entering the season, but he hasn't quite lived up to expectations. However, he's caught four passes in each of his last two games, and the Cowboys' D ranks 31st against opposing fantasy tight ends (11.7 FPPG). Kendricks is a sneaky good play if you're looking to replace Vernon Davis, Jermaine Gresham or one of the Pats this week.

Judge Jane Farish fought back tears in the Greymouth District Court this morning as she awarded compensation to the victims of the Pike River mine explosion.
Pike River Coal (PRC) was ordered to pay $760,000 in fines and more than $3 million in reparations for breaches of health and safety that contributed to the deaths of 29 men.
The families, along with two survivors, were each awarded $110,000 in compensation.
But PRC, which is now in receivership, has just $156,000 available in a post-explosion insurance fund for fines and reparations.
The decision was met with applause from the families, who have waited years for justice.
"The hazards were well known, they were predictable and they were preventable," she told the court.
"At the time of the explosion there were many indicators that the mine was an unsafe and in a potentially explosive position, yet the warning signs were not noticed and not heeded."
The charges against PRC cover four main areas of failure, after the company failed to properly measure methane levels, ensure there was proper ventilation, check panel geology and mitigate explosion risk.
Another charge was laid for failing to ensure the safety of 16-year-old Joseph Dunbar, who was the youngest of the 29.
But a question remains over whether PRC, which is currently in receivership, will be able to pay the hefty reparation.
It has not contested the charges brought against it due to a lack of funds, while representatives and former directors have not appeared in court.
Receivers PricewaterhouseCoopers filed an affidavit which outlined that only $156,000 is available in a post-explosion insurance fund.
However, Judge Farish said the reparation could be paid out by existing shareholders or directors.
The largest shareholder, NZ Oil and Gas, is keeping the company in receivership rather than liquidation, implying there was still some financial viability at the site.
Directors also held a considerable amount of insurance, she said.
Outside of court Bernie Monk, who lost his son Michael in the disaster, implored NZ Oil and Gas to step up.
"It's almost laughable to say how many millions of profits they made," he says. "If they walk away from this, then God help New Zealand."
Mr Monk also applauded the sentence, saying Judge Farish had put a "stake in the ground".
"I think she stood up to the plate and I was impressed," he says. "Looking back she's done things right.
"It has been charged emotionally and I thank her for the patience she's had with us."
He was, however, sceptical that they would see any significant compensation after the sentence.
Yesterday, the court heard the heartbreaking legacy that the tragedy has left behind, as family members talked of the ongoing grief and financial strife they have suffered since.
The court heard how the men's deaths caused depression, suicide attempts, divorce, chronic anxiety, loss of employment, and the ongoing pain of knowing that the men's remains are still inside the mine.
In an impact statement read aloud to the court, Beth Mackie told of her continuing anguish at the loss of her son Samuel.
"An act of violence has been brought against my son and I am very angry and bitter," she said.
"That a company could play Russian roulette with his life is like something from a horror movie."
Many families expressed their anger over the way the sentencing is being held, frustrated that the company's directors are not being held directly accountable.
Reading a statement, widow Anna Osborne told the court she wanted someone to take responsibly for "killing" her husband Milton.
"Milton was my rock, I miss him more than I can say," she told the court.
"He was the love of my life, who loved me regardless of all my ailments and inflictions."
The 44-year-old voiced her frustration at being restricted by the court process, saying it prevented her from singling out and naming the directors.
"The employers pushed the miners and contractors to their death," she said. "How can the people responsible for this just walk away?
"This was no accident, it was totally avoidable and unnecessary."

We recently stopped by DISH for a radio interview with executive chef Garreth Dickey. This guy seems to be one of those under-the-radar chefs that are not all that interested in receiving fluff. His demeanor assured me that he's probably never yelled at anyone and probably holds the door for senior citizens daily. Besides being genuinely kind, this chef has talent.
When chef Garreth made his way to Dallas, he began working for Stephan Pyles at Star Canyon. He was also executive chef at The Porch, as well as Hibiscus. If he had anything to do with the mac & cheese recipe at Hibiscus, then we must all immediately bow down to his greatness.
DISH's menu is described as "modern comfort food" with prices ranging from $4 – $32. The seasonal menu brings with it exciting new creations for DISH fans to enjoy. Chef Garreth also offers a three-course tasting menu that changes nightly, with an optional wine pairing. Rumor on the street is DISH morphs from restaurant to nightclub after ten or so. The decor certainly backs up this story. Maybe that's why a lot of guys were wearing cool looking hats and skinny jeans during dinner.
Just so you know, someone up in this club is an animal lover. Not only does DISH care about your pet being pampered on the patio, there is a canine-friendly menu. Please do not bring a cat. No one likes this. This menu does not say feline-friendly. I have never seen a fun cat. Cats are always scratching people. The only thing cats do for fun is painstakingly claw at a ball of yarn all day– pouncing on it like prey. Snoozer. Dogs need patio pampering in order to relax after a long day of fetching.
There are plenty of plates to share in the app area of the menu. Almost Veggie people have the option of ordering mixed mushroom flatbread, salt and pepper calamari, Imperial crab dip, blue cheese mussels, or ahi tuna pica— to name more than a few. There are plenty of meat, seafood, and signature dishes on the menu as well. Do yourself a favor and save room for dessert. The salted caramel pudding is glorious.
Sometimes people release a fantastic vibe filled with whole-hearted goodness. Executive chef Garreth Dickey possesses that kind of vibe. Whether dinner or brunch, experiencing this chef's creations is something you don't want to miss.

John Stossel: The disappointing year in liberty
• Obamacare. It was supposed to "bend the cost curve" downward. The central planners had lots of time to perfect their scheme. For a generation, the brightest left-wing wonks focused on health care policy. The result? Soviet-style consumer service comes to America.
Nothing to cut? Government spends $3.8 trillion a year!
Many Republicans are almost as eager to spend as Democrats, despite the difference in rhetoric between the two parties. About the only spending reduction Republicans accomplished in the past few years was the so-called sequester — which really happened by legal default because the two parties couldn't reach an agreement. The sequester instituted cuts of about $85 billion a year, a mere sliver of that $3.8 trillion budget and a still smaller sliver of our $17 trillion debt.
To make it a better year, we can't trust such a powerful government to restrain itself. We should cut back its duties to reduce its power.
John Stossel is host of "Stossel" on the Fox Business Network, and the author of "No They Can't! Why Government Fails, but Individuals Succeed."

Monday 10 Mar 2014
By Roxana Azimi. Web onlyPublished online: 21 November 2010
Paris. After previously highlighting Japan and the Middle East, this year's Paris Photo fair (18-21 November) showcased the photography of Eastern Europe. While the quality of the Statements section—which featured contemporary artists from the region—left a little to be desired, the historic works, including works by Brassaï, Miroslav Tichy and André Kertesz, were dazzling, with jewels including Kertesz's Chez Mondrian, 1926, offered by Howard Greenberg gallery for €684,000.
London's Hamilton Gallery brought the iconic Irving Penn image, Woman in Moroccan Palace, 1951, on sale for $650,000 (an edition of which sold at Christie's in April for $446,500). Such a work, at such a price point, rarely finds a buyer at the fair. Hamiltons had, however, sold a photo by Horst P. Horst for $150,000. "The economic crisis is not scaring people as it did before. People don't feel frozen," said Greenberg, who sold Robert Capa's Death of a Loyalist, 1936, for €12,830 to the Yale University Art Gallery. The healthier market had encouraged the return of four US exhibitors, notably Gitterman Gallery and Yossi Milo (both from New York), and two New York newcomers, Aperture and Barry Friedman. The latter sold a collection of six photos by Michael Eastman to a European collector for between €6,500 and €16,500 each."I'm very happy with the sales. There is a very strong possibility that I will come again," said Friedman.Back after a three-year hiatus, Yossi Milo sold 25 photos in three days. Fair veteran Hans P. Kraus sold 16 works by Henri Courmont for between $5,000 and $75,000. American collectors, who had been absent from the fair for the past two years, were also back and were particularly active. The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, Kansas City, bought Adolphe Braun's Fleur Photographiées (mid-1850s) as well as Pierre Jules César Janssen's Surface of the Sun, 1894, from London's antiquarian sellers Bernard Quaritch. The Getty Museum was in negotiations to buy the entire series Maquettes/Lights, 1995, by Naoya Hatakeyama, from Paris's Sage Gallery."It started off slow, but the networking is amazing. The number of collectors and press grows here every year. There's no other place in the world where I can show my artists to a targeted audience," said Tom Gitterman.Even if buying was less active in the Statements section, being at Paris Photo offered unexpected visibility to the lesser-known galleries."Photography is not appreciated at the same level as other art categories in Slovenia," said Dejan Sluga, director of Photon Gallery, based in Ljubljana. "The market is weak there, with a population of only two million. We exist thanks to public support and EU funding."Despite this, the fair is ending its Statements section. Next year it will instead have a platform focused on African photography.

Fun! Baby Name Polls
Hone your baby naming skills and help others. Which baby names are best?
Show polls from: today | last seven days | last four weeks | all
Sort by: most recent | most comments | most votes
I have one daughter who is 7 and was not planning on having any more kids so when it comes to names I am pretty useless. My friend came up with Erin the first time around too. I'm looking for a name which fits with her sisters without being similar so no E names please. Thanks for your help!~ Jo
Hey! I am 15 and my mom is pregnant with my third little sibling, which I get to name. I love the names Isla, Avia, Penelope, Callum, Caledon and Dominic, but I want to save them for when I have kids. I have two little siblings called Bryce & Nevaeh. I'll post a list of names I like in the first comment, please tell me what you think and which ones would be best! Thanks!
We are looking to find names that sound best with our last name which is pronounced hor-hay. We are not necessarily looking for Spanish names. Please give suggestions of names that you think sound best with our last name. Thanks!
Need a middle name for baby girl Mila? Thoughts on the name are also welcome
I love the name Adelaide for our first daughter, but my husband is not very fond of the name. I would like to know your thoughts. Please suggest similar names if you do not like this one. Thanks! -Katie
My name's Alexis and I have three kids. Their names are Hanna, Miley, and Cade. My sister is pregnant with her first babies, twin boys. She recently told me what she is naming them and I'm shocked. They are horrible names that the boys will no doubt be teased for and I don't understand how she likes them. I don't know how to tell her how horrible the names are without seeming rude. Do you have any advice on what to say?
I really love the name Sydnie for a girl and I might use it. Do you know anyone named Sydnie? Do you like the name? Anything you want to say about the name? Thanks for your comments!
Which name do you like best? We are having a boy! We have a bunch of names that we like a lot. Our surname is Campbell. If you really like a name that has already been eliminated you can bring it back.
Wdyt of Dorothy? We love Dorothy with nn either Dottie or dolly. Would like to get an idea of what others think.
I need a middle name that starts with a V! Well, I don't "need" it, but since her name would be Mila Price, I thought it would be cool to have her initials MVP. It's not necessary though, so don't be afraid to suggest others. Also, I don't like names like Valerie, Victoria, or Veronica. So idk if there will be a broad range of names, just trying to see what's out there. Help if you can! Thanks in advance :)
Would you have any idea how to pn Magaidh or mairi? They are both gaelic Scottish names which I love.
