Michigan St. Plans $20M Spartan Stadium Renovation
EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Michigan State University is planning a $20 million Spartan Stadium renovation to be wrapped up next year.
The Detroit Free Press reports (http://on.freep.com/10leeMH ) the East Lansing school's board holds a retreat and meeting June 19-21, during which construction is expected to gain final approval. If that happens, athletic director Mark Hollis says construction is expected to begin and work on the project could wrap up in May 2014. The project is expected to be funded by $14 million in donations and $6 million of MSU athletic department funds. The plan calls for a two-level building at the stadium's north end, including locker rooms, an equipment room and a media center. Restrooms and concession stands, as well as a recruiting room for sports, also are planned as part of the project.

More than anything Taylor Drake wants her life back. She's returned to her family home, suffering from the agoraphobia that has plagued her since she was brutally attacked in her apartment. Once a confident and successful photographer, she now cowers behind closed doors with a loaded pistol. She fears her attacker will find her and finish the job.
The last assignment chief deputy Adam Gillespie wants is babysitting the spoiled celebrity Taylor. He blames her father for his family's financial ruin; her brother is the incumbent candidate for county sheriff, Adam's opposition in the upcoming election.
Complications arise when someone murders the man he arrests for stalking Taylor. Adam soon learns things aren't as they seem. Taylor is hardly a pampered prima donna, and there are holes in the history of the feud between their families. He has to reconcile the feud or any future with Taylor--with whom he's fallen in love--is ruined. But first he must stop the person determined to kill her.

TaraBI got a question. At what age can a person first get pregnant? I just found out that my next door neighbor won't be going to church today because she's knocked up and feeling very sick.
My next door neighbor is 11 and I really didn't think people could get pregnant that young. The baby's daddy is apparently going to be her mom's friend's son.
Next question. This girl is extremely small for her age. She is only about 3 1/2 – 4 feet tall and very small all the way around. How on earth will the baby actually fit in her? It just doesn't seem possible.
I am just so blown away by all this. It made me really curious. I wonder what she is going to look like towards the end of her pregnancy. She'll be nothing but a stomach!
June 25, 2006 at 4:33 pm #213976
shazboyou can get pregnent has soon as you start your monthlys and has for being small that should not cause no problems but she may have to have a c section to deliver . my mother is 4 foot and she had 2 c sections due to her pelvis being to small but alot of people go on to have them naturally surely you must be doing sex education at school . and where was the girls parents when this was going on. i know you can not bewith your children 24/7 but she should of explained things to her daughter
June 25, 2006 at 6:27 pm #213977
twinzplus3Yikes that's young! I'm thinking the same thing–where were the parents????
June 25, 2006 at 7:08 pm #213978
TaraBI overheard my mom and her mom talking this morning. I don't have a lot of details. It just shocked me that someone can get pregnant that young or while that small.
I don't think they know when it happened. Her daughter and this guy are good friends and hang out a lot at each others house. They have even been to our house several times. I am just guessing. But I thinking both parents were probably somewhere nearby. Both their parents were very protective. I just think they were kept in the dark or something.
Isn't c section where they cut you open? That sounds horrible! Actually giving birth at all sounds horrible! If I was that small I'd want an abortion. And I don't even believe in abortion. To me it just seems extremely scary.
June 25, 2006 at 8:34 pm #213979
cocotboThe worst part about all this is that little girl hasn't finished growing yet. Carrying and delivering a child when her own bones haven't finished growing yet is going to put an amazing strain on her body.
Shazbo is right, except for the fact that you can actually get pregnant before you ever have a period. If you hit it on your very first ovulation, just before your first period – surprise! Baby. Age really has nothing to do with it. Girls are starting their periods much earlier now. There are 9 and 10-year-olds starting their periods now. And with that comes all the hormones and urges that one didn't have to deal with until they hit their teens. It is a very dangerous world if you don't know what's going on.June 25, 2006 at 9:16 pm #213980
twinzplus3Yes–they cut you open to have a c-section. I would think because of her age they'd almost have to. Labor is an incredibly emotionally & physically difficult. And like cocotbo said, it's gotta be incredibly hard on a body that's not finished growing.
June 25, 2006 at 10:53 pm #213983
MJ7I was going to say what Cocotbo did about getting pregnant before your first period. Girls do ovulate before then. I wonder if there are other complication risks for those who have babies when they themselves are so tiny?
C-cections are when they cut you open. This happens sometimes when the pelvis is too narrow for the baby to fit out. It happens for other reasons too like emergency deliveries. The hormonal changes in an 11 year old are hard enough, I couldn't imagine having been pregnant at 11!
To answer some other's questions hear about where the parents were, there are many kids that have sex in the home when their parents are there by going into a room and keeping the door shut. Or even in the yard at night. Many parents might believe because they are home with thier child, their child wouldn't do anything like that behind a closed door. SO UNTRUE. Kids area smart and I think some have figured this out–or at least thought the risk was worth it. I imagine some parents wouldn't think their 11 year old would be interested in engaging in sex at that age. There are lots of speculations in my mind as to how this could have happened. I wish this girl good health.
June 25, 2006 at 11:27 pm #213985
TaraBThis entire situation just really weirds me out. If I was her age and her size I would be so unbelievably scared right now. The thought of them actually cutting me open is about one of the scariest things I can think of next to exploding because the baby couldn't come out.
I don't know what she was thinking, but I don't think she knew what the hell she was doing. I feel bad for her mom too. Her mom was crying when she was talking to my mom.
I have just never heard of something like this happening before. I know a girl at my school who is pregnant, but its high school and most people are doing it. I'd be surprised if I didn't know someone pregnant. But back in her age I didn't know ANYONE having sex. Not a single person.
June 26, 2006 at 1:46 am #213989
WordsAplentyI'm thinking it never crossed the girl's mind that she would be having sex. I would never think of an 11 year old that way. I would probably think of it as an innocent friendship. By the way, how old is the boy?

No one here can say she will have to have a C-cection because none of us are qualified to make that call. The likeliness may be there for it though. When mothers are told before hand by their dr. that they'll require a c-cection, the mom gets scheduled for it. There isn't usually the hours of labor unless something else happens. The mother is numb and can't feel her surgery. More often, I think the mom's focus is on her baby rather than on her tummy.

blossyI remember reading once or it may have been on the news a few years ago that the youngest mother on record was a 9 year old child!

J920MJ7..pass the tissue box. That is truly sad. Surreal even.
Where there is a will there is way, with regards to the eleven year old girl and her parents.
I know of a teen couple, who got together because the parents were friends.
But sometimes u cant even leave little boys and little girls alone anymore.
I was a party where toddlers kept dancing together and the little girl would get depressed when the boy would leave and when he came back, she was holding his hand, kissing him and hugging him. Its cute. But its an early awareness.
I started menstruating at 11. I cant imagine what that little girl and mother and father must be going through. -

JURIST Guest Columnist Karla Swift of the Michigan State AFL-CIO argues that the "right to work" laws enacted by the Michigan Legislature in 2012 are unconstitutional and were enacted in violation of Michigan's Open Meeting Act...
As JURIST previously reported, the Michigan State AFL-CIO, together with the Change to Win Coalition and the Michigan State Building and Construction Trades Council, filed a lawsuit in US District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan challenging the constitutionality of Public Act 348 (PA 348) [PDF], the new right to work law covering private sector employers and workers.
PA 348 violates the Supremacy Clause of the US Constitution by imposing state regulation in an area that is preempted exclusively by the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA). Specifically, PA 348 violates the Supremacy Clause by invading federally preempted regulation of private sector labor management relations it at least the following respects:
These unconstitutional provisions are not severable from the rest of the law and, therefore, our lawsuit calls on the court to permanently enjoin Michigan from enforcing right to work in the private sector.
Our state's newly adopted right to work laws are also subject to challenge based on the unprecedented way in which they were enacted. The Michigan State AFL-CIO has joined with other union organizations, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), legislators and journalists as plaintiffs in an action to challenge the new right to work laws on the grounds that they were passed in violation of Michigan's Open Meetings Act [PDF]. The case was filed in Ingham County Circuit Court and charges that government officials, in an unprecedented assault on democracy, deprived the public of their right to participate in and observe the legislative process, by locking citizens out of the Michigan State Capitol while crucial legislative action was taking place. Under Michigan's Open Meetings Act, citizens have a stake in seeing that our government conducts business in a democratic and transparent way. No laws should be passed while citizens are locked out of their Capitol building. In addition to being illegal, the secretive conduct of the legislature was shameful. It's particularly disturbing that journalists were prevented from providing complete coverage of this historic lame duck session. The public has a right to know what their government is doing. These are the facts alleged in the complaint:
Like its private-sector counterpart, Public Act 349 (PA 349) the so-called right-to-work amendment to the Public Employee Relations Act (PERA) [PDF] was hastily enacted in a few days during the lame duck session in December 2012. Snyder and Attorney General Bill Schuette assert that PA 349 applies to Michigan's classified civil service, despite decades of case law reaffirming that the exclusive and plenary jurisdiction of the Michigan Supreme Court takes precedence over attempts by the legislature to regulate employment in the civil service. The application of PA 349 to the civil service not only would violate the Constitution of Michigan, it would exceed the legislature's powers and conflict with PERA itself.
In an attempt to short-circuit the normal judicial process for deciding such questions, the governor has requested an advisory opinion from the Michigan Supreme Court as to whether the application of PA 349 is constitutional. We believe that the question should be given full due process in the lower courts and, therefore, the Michigan State AFL-CIO has filed an amicus brief urging the court to reject the governor's request.
At the time this article was submitted, the Ingham County Circuit Court had dismissed the case against PA 349 on jurisdictional grounds; a similar suit was subsequently filed with the Michigan Court of Appeals. The Michigan Supreme Court has yet to respond to the governor's request for an advisory opinion.
Without intervention, right to work laws for both public and private sector workers will go into effect on March 27, 2013. In the event that these policies are enacted temporarily, the Michigan State AFL-CIO will continue to pursue all legal and political avenues available to have these unreasonable collective bargaining restrictions reversed. Working people will continue to organize, and the labor movement will overcome this obstacle.
Karla Swift is the President of the Michigan State AFL-CIO.

Vote now! Vote Democratic! Know your rights!
Fellow Democrats,
In the midst of early voting, the TCDP and the Black Austin Democrats are hosting The New Texas Equity Alliance Celebration next Tuesday (October 30, 5-7 p.m.) at the Carver Museum (1165 Angelina Street) to honor leaders who have fought hard against voter suppression in Texas. This is the last fundraiser of the election cycle for the Travis County Democratic Party. Sponsorships and tickets are available now, so click here and plan to join us. Be sure to read our interview with Jeff Travillion in today's "On the Record With Diane Holloway" for details on the background and inspiration for this event.
Have you cast your ballot yet? Early voting started yesterday (Monday) and continues through Friday, November 2nd. I was proud to cast my ballot yesterday morning at Parque Zaragoza after our TCDP press conference featuring some of our superb Democratic elected officials. We are indeed fortunate in Travis County to have such a great delegation.
Before you vote, be sure to check out our 2012 election website, thecoordinatedcampaign.com, which has information about our endorsed candidates, links to lists of the early voting and mobile voting sites and lots of other good information. It also includes a list of the propositions that the Travis County Democratic Party has endorsed — from Keep Austin Healthy's Prop 1 to Vote for Fairness Props 10 and 11 to Love Austin's Props 12 through 18.
As I'm sure you've heard, there have been multiple attempts by Republicans to suppress and confuse voters. Constable Bruce Elfant, candidate for Travis County Tax Assessor-Collector, has put together a simple, user-friendly voter info site traviscountyvoter.org with the most common questions and easy-to-understand answers.
For example: You do NOT need a photo ID to vote if you have your voter registration card. That Republican-instigated law was blocked by the Department of Justice and by a federal court in Washington, D.C. Be sure you know your rights, and be sure your voice is heard.
We've done amazing work together — so far we have knocked on 85,000 doors — and I want to thank all of you. I also want to encourage everyone to be sure you've done everything you possibly can to help re-elect President Obama and achieve victory for all of our great Democratic candidates. Please come by our Coordinated Campaign Headquarters (2406 Manor Road) and volunteer. You can also click here to donate. Let's give our best efforts now and get this done!
Andy Brown
Travis County Democratic Party Chair
PS: Representative Eddie Rodriguez asks for your support for Prop 15, which would allow the City of Austin to expand its funding for affordable housing. This bond will help low-income, elderly and disabled people in our community.

If anyone has the time or interest I'd very much appreciate it.
I just need someone to size this down to the site standards and feel free to make asthetic adjustments as you see fit, I'm not at all particular about how I want this to turn out.
Very much appreciated if anyone can help me out here.
Thanks for the time and effort.

Court sentencings
The Columbian's policy is to publish all Clark County Superior Court felony sentencings, as provided by the Clark County Clerk's Office. DC signifies that the defendant has entered drug court. Addresses are provided by the courts and may have changed by the time of sentencing. Misdemeanor sentencings, provided by District Court, are published for the following crimes: DUI (driving under the influence), DWS/revoked (driving while license is suspended or revoked), theft-3 (third-degree theft), and assault-4 (fourth-degree assault). If the defendant is sentenced for other misdemeanors at the same time, those offenses are also listed. Money figures represent fines.

Petition to get MicroSD slot in Nexus phones
This petition is for those who love the Nexus phones but hate that they dont give us enough memory space for all our music, videos, photos and whatever else we wish to put on them. We want the option to have a microSD card slot in the phones to add whatever space we feel will do the job for us. 8GB certainly isnt near enough and 16GB is barely adequate. We all love the pure Android experience and want these phones to be our daily drivers but simply need more space in them. Streaming video and music is great and all but carriers dont allow you to have unlimited data plans any longer(in the USA at least). I am trying to get as many signatures as possible to show Google that we as consumers take this seriously and consider this to be a big problem. We are willing to give up something like a glass back (which is a fragile way to go anyways) for plastic i.e. to achieve this goal or even perhaps pay a little extra, whatever it takes. We hope you take this petition seriously. Thank you!

CHAPTER XI.Lenardo and Odoard also were for some days very busily occupied, the former in providing the emigrants with everything necessary, the latter in making the acquaintance of those who remained at home, and in judging of their capacities, in order to give them adequate information as to his own aims. In the meantime for Friedrich and our friend there was left opportunity and leisure for quiet discourse. Wilhelm got him to describe the plan in general, and when he had been made sufficiently familiar with the country and surroundings, and the hope had been expressed that they should see a large number of inhabitants dispersed in a widely extended domain, the conversation at last turned, as was natural, upon that which in point of fact holds men together—namely, religion and morality. Of this the lively Friedrich was able to give a sufficient account; and we should perhaps earn gratitude if we could give the progress of the conversation, which, by question and answer, objections and corrections, meandered on in a really commendable way, and with sundry deviations made its way pleasantly to the special end in view. In the meantime we must not linger so long, and we give its results at once rather than be obliged to let them come to view only little by little in our readers' minds. The following was the essence of what was dealt with:— That man should accommodate himself to the inevitable, all religions require: each one in its fashion attempts to solve this problem. The Christian religion contributes most pleasingly to this by means of faith, love and hope: therefrom ensues patience, a sweet feeling of what a priceless gift existence still is, even though, in place of the desired enjoyment, the most hateful sorrows are laid upon it. To this religion we firmly hold, but in a peculiar way: we teach our children, from youth upwards, the great advantages that it has brought us; on the other hand we ultimately impart knowledge as to its origin and progress; only then does its Founder become dear and precious to us, and all information that relates to Him becomes holy. In this sense, which perhaps may be called pedantic, but yet must be recognized as logical, we endure no Jew amongst us: for how are we to allow him participation in the highest culture, the fountain-head and origin of which he denies? From this our moral theory is entirely apart: it is purely a matter of deeds, and is comprised in the few commandments—Moderation in what is arbitrary, diligence in what is necessary. Now, everyone in the course of his life may assist himself of these laconic precepts after his own fashion, and he has a fruitful text for unlimited application. The greatest reverence is impressed on all for Time, as the highest gift of God and Nature, and the most assiduous handmaid of existence. Clocks have been multiplied amongst us, and one and all indicate the quarters with hand and stroke: and in order to multiply such signals to the utmost, telegraphs are created in our country which if they are not deranged give, and truly by a very ingenious contrivance, the course of the hours by day and night. Our moral theory, which is also quite practical, aims mainly at thoughtfulness; and this is furthered in the highest degree by division of time and attention to every hour. Something must be done at every moment, and how could this be effected if attention were not paid to the work as well as to the time. Considering that we are only beginning, we lay great stress upon the family circle. On fathers and mothers of families we intend to impose great responsibilities: with us education becomes all the easier, as everyone must provide men and maids, men-servants and women-servants for himself. It is true that certain things must be taught with a certain uniform sameness. To read, write, and reckon with facility, the abbé undertakes to teach the masses: his method is suggestive of mutual instruction, yet it is more intelligent: but, in fact, it all depends on educating teachers and scholars at the same time. But there is another form of mutual instruction that I will mention: the practice of attack and self-defence. Here Lothario is in his element. His manœuvres have some similarity to those of our skirmishers, yet he cannot be otherwise than original. Here I remark that in our civil life we have no bells, in military no drums: in one as in the other the human voice combined with wind instruments suffices. All this has for some time existed and still exists; but its proper application is left to the mind that would probably in any case have originated it. The first requirement of a State is that of a courageous magistracy, and in that ours is not to be deficient; we are all impatient to approach the business, cheerful and convinced that one must begin simply. So we do not think about justice, but about police. Its fundamental principle is vigorously expressed. No one shall annoy another. Whoever makes himself a nuisance is kept apart, until he understands how a man must conduct himself in order to be endured. If there is anything lifeless, unreasoning, in point, this in like manner is put away. In every district* there are three directors of police, who change with each other every eight hours, shift-wise as in mining, which also must never stand still, and one of our men will especially at night-time be ready. They have the right to admonish, to blame, to scold and to reconcile. If they find it necessary they call together a larger or smaller number of the confraternity. If the votes are equal the president does not decide, but lots are drawn, because we are convinced that when opinions are directly opposed to each other, it is always a matter of indifference which will be followed. As for the majority we have altogether peculiar opinions: we let it hold good, it is true, in the necessary course of affairs; but in the higher sense we have not much confidence in it. However I must not expatiate further on this point. If you ask about the higher authority that guides everything, it is never found in one place. It is continually moving about in order to maintain uniformity in the main thing, and in things permissible to grant everyone his will. This is a thing that has already been done once in the course of history: the German emperors travelled about; and this institution is in the closest conformity with the idea of free States. We are afraid of a chief-town, although we already see the point in our possessions where the greatest number of people will collect together. But this we keep to ourselves: this will happen by degrees and will still be soon enough. These are, in the most general way, the points about which we are for the most part agreed: yet whenever members come together in larger or smaller numbers they are always talked over again anew. But the main thing will be, when shall we find ourselves at the place and spot? The new state of things, which is however to last, is in fact expressed by the law. Our penalties are mild, admonition is allowed to everyone who has a certain age behind him: only the recognized elders may disapprove and blame, only a number convened can punish.* It is noticed that severe laws are very soon blunted, and little by little become laxer, since Nature always asserts her rights. We have indulgent laws, so as to be able to get gradually more severe: our penalties consist first and foremost of a separation from civil society, milder or more vigorous, shorter or longer, as found necessary. If the property of the burgher citizen grows, little by little, something is nipped off here too, less or more as they deserve, so that they may suffer something from this point also. Information on these points is given to all the members of the association, and in an examination that has been instituted it has been found that they all make the most appropriate application of the main points to themselves. The main thing always is only this, that we retain with ourselves the advantages of culture, and leave behind its disadvantages. Dram-drinking and circulating libraries are not allowed with us, but how we demean ourselves towards bottles and books, I would rather not disclose. Suchlike things will have to be done, if we are to criticise them. And in just the same sense the collector and editor of these papers keeps back other regulations, which still circulate among the Society itself, as problems which perhaps it is not prudent to attempt at the present time and place; and so much the less approval could one anticipate if one ventured to mention such things circumstantially.

"Today is the culmination of a tremendous effort of county commissioners, historians and residents," Russ Gutmann, chairman of the Sarasota County Historical Commission, told the roughly three-dozen people who braved a chilly morning Saturday, Jan. 5, to witness the unveiling of Bird Key's historical marker at its entrance on John Ringling Boulevard.
The application, review and installation process to get a historical marker takes years to complete, Gutmann explained.
The fact that Bird Key residents possessed the tenacity to get a marker came as no surprise to Sarasota Mayor Suzanne Atwell, who moved to the Key 14 years ago and spoke at the ceremony.
"I quickly learned how seriously the community cares about the beauty of Bird Key," she said. "Now we have that commitment enshrined for all the walkers, joggers and bikers to see when they cross the bridge."
Originally, Bird Key was 12.8 acres of rock, which caught the eye of Davidella "Davie" Lindsay Worcester while she was boating with friends. Worcester purchased the land in 1906 and drew up plans for a Georgian-style mansion, New Edzell Castle, named for her ancestral home in Scotland. Worcester died in 1912, two years shy of the home's completion, but her relatives, followed by John Ringling's, occupied New Edzell Castle until its demolition in 1959.
During the latter half of the 20th century, Bird Key grew exponentially.
In 1951, Ringling's nephew, John Ringling North, purchased 280 submerged acres from the state to expand Bird Key. Eights year later, the Arvida Corporation purchased the property (and then some), dredging and filling the submerged land to enlarge the island to its present size of approximately 300 acres. Today, Bird Key has 511 residential lots.
From a rocky dream to a luxurious haven
"Bird Key began as a dream, when a young woman spied beauty in the 13 acres of rock while boating. It is here today because of the nexus of her dream and the ambition of a development company," said Eileen Normile, president of the Bird Key Improvement Association.
Here's an overview of the island's history.
1905: Davie Worcester spots a rocky island while boating.
1906: Worcester purchases the 12.8 acre-island.
1914: New Edzell Castle, Bird Key's first mansion, is completed.
1922: Business associates John Ringling and Owen Burns purchase Bird Key from Worcester's heirs.
1925: Ringling constructs a bridge and causeway to connect Bird Key and the outer keys of St. Armands, Lido and Longboat to the mainland.
1934: Ida Ringling North, Ringling's only sister, moves in to New Edzell Castle.
1936: Following Ringling's death, Ida Ringling North and her son, John Ringling North, become administrators of the Ringling estate, which includes Bird Key.
1951: John Ringling North forms the Bird Key Corporation and acquires 280 submerged acres from the state to expand the island.
1959: The Arvida Corporation purchases 2,000 acres of Ringling property, which includes Bird Key. With the intent of creating "a luxurious island residential haven," the company dredges and fills the submerged property and starts construction of the island's infrastructure.
1960: In place of New Edzell Castle, torn down in 1959, Arvida builds the Bird Key Yacht Club.
1964: Bird Key is connected to the city water system.
1967: Arvida transfers the Bird Key Yacht Club to the island's residents.
2013: Bird Key receives a historical marker, located at its entrance on John Ringling Boulevard.

User Review for Today's Mom® Cozy Cuddler Pregnancy Pillow
I am six months pregnant, and have been sleeping great since I purchased the pillow. The material is fine. I highly recommend this pregnancy pillow.
User Review for Today's Mom® Cozy Cuddler Pregnancy Pillow
very quick delivery!
User Review for Today's Mom® Cozy Comfort Pregnancy Pillow
I received this as a gift from my mom when I was 3.5 months pregnant and started using it immediately - I have slept like a rock EVERY night since getting it! I'm a stomach sleeper and this helped me to still sleep on my tummy while not putting too much pressure on it. Now that I'm 37 weeks pregnant and so huge belly sleeping is no longer an option this helps me to sleep on my side comfortably. I love this pillow and would recommend it to everyone! I'll be making sure my sister gets one when she has a need for it (but not mine - I'm not giving it up!!) :)
User Review for Today's Mom® Cozy Comfort Pregnancy Pillow
Very happy with this pillow, I almost bought the more expensive cooler version, but decided instead to try this one, so glad I got it. I'm sleeping so much better with just one pillow versus having to readjust 5 pillows throughout the night.
User Review for Today's Mom® Cozy Comfort Pregnancy Pillow
I wanted to fall right to sleep when this arrived in the mail and I tried it out. I love how it wraps around you. You'll definitely want to wash the outer shell before use because the dye smells horrible. My only complaint is that the pillow is a little too hard. I like a much softer pillow, but with its many uses, it probably needs to be stiffer.
Pregnancy Pillow
Good maternity pillows are hard to find. It's all about mom's comfort when it comes to a pregnancy pillow and BabyAge has the best pillows on the market.
Our Today's Mom Cozy Comfort Pregnancy Pillow is like sleeping on a cloud! BabyAge.com has created the Today's Mom product line by listening to the biggest concerns of...well, moms of course! One of the biggest pregnancy pillow problems has been hard edges digging into mom's shoulder. The Cozy Comfort Pregnancy Pillow has a curve shaped, shoulder support design, that contours to the shoulder and provides a soft sleep. Another problem examined by Today's Mom is lumbar support. The Cozy Comfort Pregnancy Pillow correctly supports mommy's weight while she sleeps. An important upgrade mother's demanded was belly support. This maternity body pillow features a belly support allowing the tummy to rest and support the baby comfortable. Perhaps the best feature is the large, square head rest area. Other pillows feature a flimsy, oddly shaped area for the head. The Cozy Comfort Pregnancy Pillow's head support resembles a standard pillow to provide comfort. This is one of the only pregnancy pillows designed with an easy to remove zipper-cover. Now, the pillow and case can be separated for washing. Both are machine washable, made of a 50/50 combination of polyester and cotton, and a 200 Thread count percale. This revolutionary pillow is patent pending.

Does anybody have any insight into what went on with Larry Izzo and Willie on the sideline during the game. It appeared that Mike Vrabel had to pull Willie away from Izzo, according to the broadcasters. Pretty uncharacteristic of a Patriots sideline.
I'm going to say it looked like a lot of frustration on the parts of both men. This occured right after Izzo fell down on Mike Anderson's second TD run, so maybe Willie was questioning his effort? Who knows...
Well I don't know why McGinest is crying about it, like we were going to stop the Broncos or any team for that matter on the one yard line, I really don't know Izzo was in there but oh well, there were going to score regardless of who was in.

I ordered a rather large TP Toys slide, which was dispatched quickly. One thing not sure whether it Wicken's packaging of the slide but sellotape holding the handrials in place for transit has left a slight sticky mark behind which I'll have to clean off. Might be worth putting some paper or something between the rail and the sellotape. This doesn't detract from the good service. Thanks
I ordered 2 items which were listed as in stock as discountedheating had the best price. Items were delivered seperatley but on time. No problems at all.
I hesitate to give any company a rating of 5 stars but nothing went wrong with this transaction.

Full description for Stillness and Speed
In Stillness and Speed, one of football's most enigmatic stars finally opens up about his life and career, revealing the things that motivate and inspire him. Viewed by many as one of the most influential figures in Premier League history, and scorer of the goal that Arsenal fans voted the best in the club's history, Dennis Bergkamp is a true giant of the game. As a youngster, Bergkamp learned from the Dutch master Johan Cruyff. By the time the pupil was ready to graduate from Ajax and move abroad, he was ready to spread the word, but in Italy he found few willing listeners. It was only when he moved to Arsenal and linked up with Arsene Wenger that he met someone else who shared his vision for football's possibilities. Bergkamp became central to everything the club did: now he had become the teacher, their creative genius, and the one who inspired some of the wayward old guard to new heights, helping them to seven major trophies. Few footballers' books make you think anew, but in Stillness and Speed Bergkamp presents a new vision for the game and how it might be played. He was a player like no other; his story is told like no other. It is a book that will inspire football fans everywhere, whatever their allegiance.

Wonderful Design
Striped Glory Save the Date Cards Very easy to use. I had some adjustments to make and magnetstreet was able to make our save the dates look great.
Loved the cards
Simply Smitten Save the Date Cards We were really thrilled with how our save the date cards turned out. We loved this design but it was difficult to find a picture that would allow us to include that block of text without blocking my fiance's head. The Magnet Street staff was so accomodating! We went through several rounds of proofs (at lesat 6 or 7) until we had the design exactly how we wanted it. They helped us personalize the design so that it would carry the same look and feel, but wouldn't block either of our heads. Friends and family have been telling us how much they loved our save the dates! We felt that the quality and weight of the paper was excellent. However, we did think that the picture printed a little bit darker than we were expecting.
Love the simplicity!
Simply Smitten Save the Date Cards So classy! you'll never regret staying classy and not trendy! We got the same save the date! Enjoy your planning!
Save the dates
Striped Glory Save the Date Cards I loved how the product looked and felt. It was quality cardstock and it looked professional. My one complaint was the size. It is probably my own fault for not glancing at the size before I ordered, but I assumed a "classic" card would be around the normal size of a greeting card. This is not true. It was very small, probably half the size of a greeting card. I was expecting something bigger and received something smaller so that is the only thing I was unhappy with. Again, it was probably my own fault for not reading closer. Be sure to read the size!
Simply Smitten Save the Date Cards I am so pleased with our Save the Date cards we recently received! They are beautifully printed and came very nicely packed in a convenient box (that I am now using to store all my invitation "supplies"). The option to personalize each design with our own colors and style was awesome! So happy and would recommend Magnet Street to any bride!!

FARMINGTON -- For Ken Klinker, the cooling temperatures and falling leaves are a sign of only one thing ... pumpkins.
For 15 years Klinker, a Farmington resident and city employee, has been developing his talent for pumpkin-carving. Friends and family define him as an artist who has found his passion in life.
"Some people use canvas, but in his case he likes pumpkins," said Dave Combe, Klinker's neighbor. "He's really quite good at it."
Klinker said he got hooked years ago when he bought a kit that claimed to create an amazing carved pumpkin. He spent hours poking tiny holes into a pumpkin and was disappointed with the outcome, until he put a light inside.
Lighting the pumpkin brought the design to life, he said. What was invisible in the daylight was an amazing work of art when lighted from within in the dark.
"I was hooked after that," he said. "I've been carving pumpkins ever since."
Some of his work includes characters from "Harry Potter," "Avatar," and "Pirates of the Caribbean." He appeals to children with carvings of Mickey Mouse and entertains the older crowd by carving monsters and ghouls. He gets most of his designs off the Internet.
This year he has been licensed by the University of Utah and Brigham Young University to sell pumpkins carved with the schools' logos.
Last year he had a display of 102 pumpkins in his yard on Halloween. About 30 or 40 of those were real-- the rest were foam. This year he hopes to top that number.
Combe said the neighbors have enjoyed watching the collection grow over the years. What started with just a few pumpkins has grown to more than 100, he said.
"It's a neighborhood gathering on Halloween," Combe said. "We are just dumbfounded at how many there are and how intricate they are. It's fun for all ages."
Klinker's wife, Kim, said he began carving on foam pumpkins when they had to fill up their trash can with pumpkins the day after Halloween.
"It was hard to see all that hard work go in the trash," she said.
Some designs take five to six hours or longer to create, and it was frustrating to see them succumb to mold and decay.
Foam pumpkins, although more difficult to carve designs into, last for several years, Klinker said.
Klinker has an assortment of tools that help him create the elaborate details. He uses a Dremel rotary tool to carve foam pumpkins. It has various small bits to create shading and depth, he said.
He carves the real pumpkins with wood-carving tools and an X-Acto knife.
Klinker will be displaying some of his pumpkins in City Hall on Halloween, and they will also be part of a children's Halloween party, sponsored by Miss Farmington, on Oct. 21.
He also donated one of his detailed carvings of Jack Sparrow to the Philadelphia Children's Hospital as part of a nationwide effort by pumpkin carvers to benefit the hospital.
"I never feel like enough people come and look," said Klinker. "I hope that lines of cars line up to see them."
Klinker lives at 1288 S. 15 East, in Farmington. Much of his work can be seen at www.facebook.com/kenspumpkinpatch1.

Comfort and control – that's what the Logitech Wireless Trackball M570 delivers when you unbox it. While trackballs would be the least popular form of input compared to touchpads and traditional mice, there must be enough people around the world who use it to warrant continued production as well as Research & Development into this niche market. One major advantage would be to use this in factories where there is not enough desk space for a mouse, although a trackpad would do equally well. The Wireless Trackball M570 was specially designed for all-day comfort and will be accompanied by the leave-in Logitech Unifying receiver. We're pretty impressed with the battery life though – a single AA battery will be able to last up to 18 months on average, now how about that? The Logitech Wireless Trackball M570 will cost $59.99 in the open market. Definitely give this a miss if gaming's your main vocation. [Press Release]

Got something to say? Post a comment-
I'm of the mindset that Gizmodo and their parent company Gawker are in the wrong and don't have a legal leg to stand on here. Sure, I liked reading about the new prototype iPhone, yet Gizmodo has handled the situation very poorly so far.
First, journalist shield law (as many other have said) protects sources. It doesn't give a journalist the ability to commit crimes. CA has an exception in the law such that if the journalist has committed a crime the shield doesn't apply.
Second, the source tried to return the 'phone by calling Apple's public numbers? (I'm not sure I believe that happened at all, or the circumstances would be completely different)
The bar was in Redwood City. It's a 20 minute drive to Cupertino. Walk into the lobby, say "I found this, I have reason to believe Apple owns it," put it on the counter and walk out. I'm pretty sure that Apple could figure out what to do with the iPhone at that point.
Third, CA law does not have a "finders keepers" clause. It states that if you find a device and think you know who owns it, you are obligated to try to return it. I can't figure out how "selling it to Gizmodo for $5000? constitutes "trying to return it". As I said above, I can't see how it would be hard to return the iPhone...dropping it at Apple's HQ or at the bar should have done it.
I do agree that Gizmodo had an interest in reporting it, but they appear to have handled it in the worst possible way. Buying the device was not at all required to review it. Depending on how you interpret the laws this may be a felony-level offense, given how much money changed hands.
"Five years ago in TechSpot:
Intel to send 65 nm chips into mass production"
Now there are 32nm chips available for purchase.
But yet I am still running a 65nm original Conroe based Core 2 Duo.
Honestly I think its sad that the question has to be asked about owning your data. Give it another 50 years and we won't own a single thing we have, so even if we don't go socialist we will be anyways.

Investment in African Ag
The corridor's infrastructure sounds just as superior—"International highways connect all major agri-zones in (the) corridor to main consumer markets in Dar, Arusha, Nairobi and Lusaka; international port and airport at Dar with direct connections to Middle East, Asia and Europe, second international airport to open in Mbeya; main power grid runs through corridor, with several major hydro projects already in place and potential for agri-based power producers to supply directly to grid."
Tanzania has described itself like the Garden of Eden for investors, but seeing would be believing. It is no secret that food production suffers in emerging nations because of limited mechanization in farming, poor harvest techniques, inferior storage and poor transportation. Investment in an emerging country means overcoming these problems.
Trade or export is a major driver in decisions by investors. Private investors want return from marketing crops, and government backed investors or Sovereign Wealth Funds are interested in establishing production to supply their home country.
The point of view of U.S. agricultural commodity/product organizations is to increase U.S. exports more than encourage investment. The U.S. government is looking for a positive trade balance for the U.S., rather than the African nation.
A trade mission to promote U.S. agricultural trade and investment in sub-Saharan Africa conducted Sept. 16-20, launched the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Sub-Saharan Africa Trade Initiative, which aims to expand U.S. agricultural commercial ties in the region.
Delegates traveled to Mozambique "to learn first-hand about the region's rapidly evolving market conditions and business environment—information that will enable agribusinesses to develop export strategies for sub-Saharan Africa."
The mission included 18 U.S. companies and 16 U.S. agricultural commodity trade associations that represented a variety of agricultural products including snack foods, beverages, fruit and nuts, agricultural machinery and more. They met with African buyers from across Sub-Saharan Africa.
"Sub-Saharan Africa's strong economic outlook, growing middle class and surging demand for consumer-oriented foods creates a promising market for U.S. food and agricultural products. Over the past decade, U.S. agricultural exports to Sub-Saharan Africa increased by more than 200 percent. Last year, bilateral agricultural trade between the United States and Sub-Saharan Africa totaled more than $4.75 billion," USDA noted.

I hoped for a more insightful article - giving us clues about the bottlenecks for investment in Africa. The introduction alluded to that but the rest of the article didn't deliver. The question remains : why don't companies invest in Africa. Or more specifically, why don't U.S. companies invest in Africa in contrast with for example Chinese companies?
