Now, the Bulldogs will look for players to pick up the slack for the senior who shared the team lead with 27 catches for 469 yards and four touchdowns.
"I'm definitely going to miss that guy, but that's what we do, that's what we practice for," said Wooten, who has 12 catches for 154 yards and two touchdowns this season. "Guys step up when things happen because you have to prepare for the unexpected. I feel like we have guys on the team that can definitely take the spot and just roll with it and make things happen just like he did."
Brown played split end. Georgia is listing Malcolm Mitchell as the starter and Rhett McGowan as the backup at that position on the depth chart for Saturday's game against Auburn. Tavarres King is listed as the starting flanker.
"Fortunately for us, we have a very deep receiving corps, guys with a lot of talent," said redshirt freshman Justin Scott-Wesley. "When the coach calls your number, you just have to be ready."
Scott-Wesley, who has one catch at Georgia, hasn't played since the Vanderbilt game on Sept. 22.
"I think it definitely gives me an extended role to contribute to the team," said Scott-Wesley. "Just because of the sheer numbers we have."
Georgia already lost top receiver Michael Bennett early last month with a torn ACL.
"It happened so fast, you never know," Wooten said of Brown's injury. "People say all the time any given play something like this can happen."
Wooten said that Brown seemed to be taking his injury in stride.
"He's still the same old Marlon," Wooten said. "You wouldn't even know there's a difference. I'm pretty sure he's got his head up. He's fine."
DE Jones won't return this season
Georgia coach Mark Richt wouldn't divulge exactly how long defensive end Abry Jones would be out when the senior underwent surgery to repair a torn ligament in his left ankle two weeks ago.
On Monday night on his radio show, Richt said Jones' college career is over.
Jones, from Warner Robins, was already expected to be out for the rest of the regular season, based on what his high school said.
Richt mentioned Jones' was done as a Bulldog when talking about how Brown's career is over.
Richt said Jones "is not going to play again for Georgia. Marlon Brown is not going to play against for Georgia. (Sophomore) Michael Bennett will get to play, which is a blessing. It's just sad that those guys senior years ended prematurely because they're great guys. I still think have great careers in the NFL."
Jones has 17 tackles this season and 106 for his career. He also had 13 1/2 tackles for loss and five sacks at Georgia.
Murray gets another SEC honor
Quarterback Aaron Murray certainly has some momentum heading into Saturday's pivotal game at Auburn.
Murray shared the Southeastern Conference's offensive player of the week honors today with Tennessee's Tyler Bray on Monday. It was the second time Murray was tabbed for the award in the last three weeks.
He completed 21 of 28 passes for 384 yards and four touchdowns in a 37-10 win against Ole Miss.
Murray moved into sixth place on the SEC career touchdown list with 80. He is one away from tying former Ole Miss quarterback Eli Manning for fifth. Muirray moved up to sixth in the nation in passing efficiency at 168.90.
This and that
Fullback Zander Ogletree has earned "a pretty even split" when Merritt Hall returns from his ankle injury, Richt said. When that will be, Richt isn't sure. Hall wasn't listed on the injury report Monday, but Richt said he wasn't sure if he will play against Auburn. "We'll have to really see how effective he is the next two days," Richt said. Ogletree has four catches for 25 yards and scored on an 8-yard touchdown run.
Offensive guard Chris Burnette (shoulder) and linebacker Chase Vasser (shoulder) didn't practice Monday.
Saturday's captains: David Andrews, John Jenkins, Jarvis Jones and Shawn Williams.
Saturday's ESPN2 on-air crew: Mark Jones, Brock Huard and Allison Williams.

Otis Woods, Administrator Division of Quality Assurance
The purpose of this memorandum is to clarify how Life Safety Code NFPA 101 (LSC) waiver requests should be developed by Medicare and Medicaid participating health care providers. Overall, the number of denied requests has resulted in a significant increase in work for all parties involved.
The Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) is attempting to address any misunderstandings by proactively notifying all providers that are regulated by the Life Safety Code.
The need for a waiver occurs for a variety of reasons including when a provider is unable to correct a deficiency and requests an exception in lieu of strict compliance.
After receiving a DHS Statement of Deficiencies (SOD),for instance, the provider requests a waiver within their Plan of Correction (POC). DHS will make a recommendation. Favorable recommendations will be forwarded to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Chicago Regional Office for adjudication.
Waivers to the LSC are permissible if:
Approval is not automatic yet is favorable if the following justification is provided:
Provider indicates the location of the LSC deficiency on a simplified floor plan showing the floor, wing, and room names affected.
Provider analyzes a range of cost alternatives to correct the deficiency, then forwards a reasonable cost estimate from a reputable third party, that is two years or less in age. Costs can include relocation of residents / patients during construction and disruption of services (IE food service). Provider must ensure that the scope of work is identified within the cost estimate.
Provider explains how strict compliance would pose a financial hardship to the facility's viability:
Provider evidence that the LSC deficiency does not pose a hazard to occupants by detailing compensating safeguards that exceed code-minimum, for example:
This memorandum is motivated by the mutual concern of the Department and providers for compliance with the requirements, and to maximize safety for all occupants. All ongoing LSC deficiencies are recited at each survey, and no waiver should be assumed to be absolute. CMS reserves the right to review or revoke any and all waivers at any time. Providing the above-listed items does not guarantee an approved waiver. Failure to follow the conditions agreed to within a waiver request may result in waiver revocation, retroactive physical plant impacts or CMS enforcement actions.
Please direct all questions about the content of this memo to David Soens, Director, Office of Plan Review and Inspection at (608) 266-9675.

First impressions: Pretty solid build, four simple yet expressive knobs, decent price.This little blue stompbox is fantastic. I mainly use it for subtle tone boost, where you can't really tell that it is chorus that I am using. I set the depth at around 2 o'clock, rate at around 10 o'clock, tailor EQ and level as needed, and then I turn it on for the duration of my playing. It works well with both single coils and humbuckers, though it suits my DeArmond M77 with USA Dynasonics especially well. This box makes my clean tones shine and fattens up my overdrive just where I want it. Of course, subtlety is not all this pedal is capable of. You can get some very deep, lush tones all the way into quirky and dizzying madness. Not sure if this is true stereo operation or not, but that isn't a feature I was concerned with.I am on my second one currently, though that is not due to any issues on Boss's end- I accidentally hooked my previous Super Chorus up to a 10v power supply and it fried something inside. Whoops! Needless to say, I purchased another one, and if presented with the option again, I would stick with this pedal.

This pedal color's your tone and the tone knob doesnt really help and it sounds kind of generic or digital with my tube screamer so i got rid of mine. For the price, i got mine used, its not bad but you could save your money now and get a better pedal later, i would reccoment the digitech chorus factory; it has 7 or so different choruses on it including 2 boss pedals, 1 flanger and a TC Chorus/Flange setting! and if you think all digitech pedals are bad, think again.Overall, i wouldn't reccomend this to someone who plays 2-5 gigs a month, but if your just starting out or still learning then i say go for it.. To the untrained ear, its not bad ;)

Boss does it again! Nice sturdy pedal. There are cheaper plastic onces out there, but I can see me breaking them easilly. This is well built.
Sound effects are really sweet... I usually use it on all my songs for a "fuller" tone. Not set to overpower, but to enhance. The 4 knobs give you a nice range of tones.

Comments about Boss CH-1 SUPER Chorus Pedal:
This is an excellent pedal. My little brother who is 13 years old treasure this pedal a lot. He always uses it when he is playing his guitar. The pedal also has different options to adjust the pedal sound. Worth of having it.
Comments about Boss CH-1 SUPER Chorus Pedal:
As I said, it's a Boss. These chorus pedals are great. I like to crank them more to the 3o'clock position than the noon so it gives it a well pronounced presence. Most people like them at noon or 9 o'clock or lower. I would recommend this pedal for anyone looking for a little flavor in their rig. It makes you cleans shimmer and really comes through on overdrive and lead distortion. What I like about this one is the fact that it sounds good ANYWHERE one the pedal board. It sounds beautiful set up chorus, overdrive,wah or overdrive, chorus,and wah. I always have wah last and plug the guitar into it.
I have one song where I turn all four knobs over to 5 o'clock, wide open, and it gives a really awesome watery sound. Like an octave pedal it sounds like a dozen guitars playing at once through a rotary Leslie or something.
Bottom line: you can't go wrong with this pedal. Thanks Boss. Keep 'em coming.
Four knobs that can go from subtle vibe to lushy wetness. I am impressed.
It's a Boss. I know it will last forever, this is my third Boss pedal. The oldest is 17 a year old DS-1 and still going strong. These things are the best built pedals on the market.
It is a little steep, but still a lot cheaper than some of the other brands. But in the end I will only use Boss and will pay their price because I know it will be the only time I will have to buy one.
Comments about Boss CH-1 SUPER Chorus Pedal:
Encontr bien bueno el pedal. Me gust. Pero me hubiera gustado que trajera el cable para ponerlo elctrico no con batera.. Gracias.
Comments about Boss CH-1 SUPER Chorus Pedal:
The build quality and overall tone are very nice. it doesn't color the basic guitar tone that I can hear. It imparts a pleasing musical chorus sound. It's gives your baisc chorus sound in a fairly narrow range. It excels at the "always on" mild coloring that some guitarists like to use to give their sound a bit more interest. What it won't do are the extremes. It won't do a heavy intensity or vibe-like warble. But what it does it does very well.
The four knobs it has covers all the ground. The wet-dry effect level knob is especially appreciated.
It's a Boss. Practically indesctructable.
For around $100 it's in line with other Boss pedal values. I'm not saying there isn't a better value around but I'm not up to trying them all to find out. Boss must have sold millions of these and it's stood the test of time.

Warm Up America! is the perfect project in which to involve a group of children and teens because it engages them in community service work. Many teachers begin by having the children select the charity.
Learning to knit and crochet is also a process that draws a group together. Not only will they learn from you, but from each other. Those children who grasp the skills more quickly help others.
Assembling the actual afghan is another growing experience, where the children discuss and comment about how to arrange the different colored sections. Finally, having the children participate in the presentation of the finished blanket wins them well-deserved praise.
Along the way you can involve family, friends and outside groups such as members of local senior centers, making the project truly intergenerational. The older adults can also provide additional assistance with teaching and assembly, which you might need.
Warm Up America! is a win/win program: the children better understand how their time and effort can help someone in need of warmth, and in the process they learn a skill that will last a lifetime.

Reviewed Apr. 21, 2011
Hello all,
After seeing this recipe in "Taste of Home", I knew I loved the ingredients and had to try it. After reading the reviews I made a few alterations:
1) I sauteed 20 oz. of fresh mushrooms chopped into medium size pieces in a bit of olive oil and butter. I don't like canned mushrooms at all, nor does my family, so this was a personal preference.
2) I omitted the Parm. Cheese as I didn't have any on hand, and used Swiss cheese instead.
3)This was key, I cut way down on the mayo, only using 1/4 c. I wanted to taste the mushrooms instead of the mayo. This helps keep the oil down too. I also did not grease the pie plate as there was enough fat in the sauteed mushrooms.
Watch the cheese carefully, and be sure to stir it as it gets close to the 20 minute mark. This will help it from clumping up.
You can make the ranch seasoning from scratch instead of using the Ranch Salad Dressing envelope called for by combining the following:
1/4 tsp dried parsley
3/4 tsp ground pepper
1 tsp. seasoned salt
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 tsp. Hungarian paprika
1/4 tsp. onion powder
1/8 tsp. dried thyme
It's much better-and cheaper-than using the envelope, and no extra mystery additives either! :-)

Hmmm...every time i make this dip it turns out fine and everyone loves it. There was no extra grease. I did not grease the pan.I did use light mayo as well as a 2 cheese blend instead of the cheddar though. It seems to make a difference in the end result. (i.e. the pool of grease)

In their 1996 article, Kirzner and Rosiello describe the "hump and dip" sign as a benign sonographic feature recognized in the majority of fibroadenomas.1 The sign consists of "a small, focal, smooth-contour bulge immediately contiguous with a small sulcus." Their article describes the presence of this sign in 77 of 136 (56.6%) biopsy-proven fibroadenomas while being absent in 150 documented carcinomas. The authors concluded that the "hump and dip" appearance is a reliable feature of fibroadenoma that may be used to avoid biopsy. However, we describe two cases of breast carcinoma which, on ultrasound imaging, demonstrate the "hump and dip" sign.
Patient 1
A 40-year-old premenopausal woman presented with a palpable mass in her right breast. Mammography showed the mass as measuring approximately 2 cm in diameter in the outer breast, with margins largely obscured by adjacent fibroglandular tissue. Ultrasound (5 MHz to 10 MHz linear array transducer) showed the lesion to be solid and well defined, with an echogenic capsule around only a small portion of the mass. The mass was oval and elongated in the direction of tissue planes, mildly heterogeneous in echotexture, and slightly hypoechoic to fat. The mass also displayed a lobulation, or "hump", adjacent to a gentle sulcus. Mildly enhanced sound through transmission was noted (figure 1). Fine needle aspiration of the mass showed ductal carcinoma with extracellular mucinous material. The patient was treated with total mastectomy and axillary dissection. Pathologically, the lesion had a gelatinous surface and lobulated borders on gross inspection. Microscopically, the tumor was composed of abundant extracellular mucin and numerous nests of well-differentiated malignant ductal cells floating within the mucin (figure 2). The interface between the tumor and the adjacent breast stroma was smooth, with tumor nodules indenting but not invading adjacent breast tissue. Multiple separate tumor nodules were present elsewhere within the breast. The histologic diagnosis was well-differentiated invasive mucinous carcinoma. One axillary lymph node contained a micrometastasis.
Patient 2
A 44-year-old premenopausal woman discovered a mass in her left breast that was discrete and moveable on physical examination. Mammography showed a rounded mass of 2 cm in diameter in the lateral aspect of the woman's left breast. The margins of the mass were mildly lobulated and partially obscured, with portions of the visualized margins appearing defined (figure 3). Ultrasound (7 MHz linear array transducer) showed a solid, well-defined lesion which was mildly heterogeneous in echotexture and slightly hypoechoic to fat. A clear lobulation followed by a sulcus was evident. There was no thin echogenic rim visible surrounding the mass. Mildly enhanced sound through transmission was noted (figure 4). Fine needle aspiration revealed carcinoma, which was treated by segmental mastectomy and axillary dissection. On gross inspection, the mass was variegated, with well-defined margins. Microscopically, the edges of the tumor were rounded, lobulated, and protruded into the adjacent fibrous-adipose stroma. The growth pattern demonstrated lobules of uniform-appearing malignant cells (figure 5). The lesion was diagnosed as invasive ductal carcinoma with neuroendocrine differentiation. One axillary lymph node contained a micrometastasis.
The role of breast ultrasound has evolved in recent years from distinguishing simple cysts from solid lesions to the more detailed evaluation of solid lesions. Ultrasound also is increasingly used for guidance in aspiration and biopsy procedures. This expansion of applications has been possible due to the introduction of improved technology with digital imaging and broadband high-frequency automatically-focused transducers, which has resulted in marked improvement in near-field resolution. Sonographic characterization of breast lesions has been studied in an attempt to improve the specificity of mammography.2,3 In doing so, it is hoped that the number of biopsies for benign lesions can be reduced, conserving healthcare resources and eliminating the physical and emotional impact of biopsy for carefully selected patients.
Evaluation of the margins of a breast mass, both mammographically and sonographically, is of critical importance in determining the level of suspicion for malignancy. There is significant overlap in the imaging appearance of benign and malignant lesions-cancers can be entirely well-circumscribed and benign lesions may have spiculated margins. No single sonographic feature of a mass margin has been accepted as excluding malignancy with a sufficient negative predictive value to justify imaging follow-up rather than biopsy.
Stavros et al2 describe a spectrum of findings used for the sonographic evaluation of breast masses. Based on their methodology, if a lesion has even a single malignant characteristic (spiculation, angular margins, marked hypoechogenicity, shadowing, calcification, duct extension, branch pattern, microlobulation), it is excluded from the benign classification. If there are no malignant features and one of three combinations of benign features is
present (intense and uniform hyperechogenicity, ellipsoid shape plus a thin echogenic capsule, or two to three gentle lobulations plus a thin, echogenic capsule), the lesion is categorized as benign. Lesions that lack both benign and malignant features are considered indeterminate.2 For benign sonographic findings, the authors report a negative predictive value of 99.5% in a large series.
Based on the criteria of Stavros et al, the mass found in our first patient, while having no malignant sonographic features, would have been categorized as indeterminate and would have been biopsied, due to the absence of an echogenic capsule around the entire lesion. The mass found in the second patient also would have been considered indeterminate-the lesion was round, not ellipsoid, there was no echogenic capsule, and the lobulation cannot be considered gentle. One may argue that the sulcus in many lesions with the "hump and dip" appearance would exclude them from classification in the benign category because the lobulation is not sufficiently gentle. There is obvious subjectivity in deciding how a mass should be categorized; at some undetermined point a lobulation is no longer "gentle" and a deep sulcus becomes an angular margin. The report by Stavros et al is the strongest evidence to date that, with experience and documented results, high quality equipment, careful scanning, and a mechanism to ensure patient follow-up, ultrasound can be used to place some patients with solid masses into a follow-up program rather than having them undergo biopsy. These patients need to be carefully selected, and should be fully evaluated clinically and mammographically, as well as sonographically.4 In both of our patients, the masses were newly palpated and of sufficient concern on physical examination and imaging studies; a follow-up program, rather than biopsy, was never under consideration. For other masses with the "hump and dip" appearance, the management may not be as clear.
In attempting to improve the specificity of breast imaging, there is the risk of delaying the diagnosis of malignancy. Ultrasound will likely play an increasing role in reducing the number of benign breast biopsies performed. However, additional prospective studies are needed. The acceptance of sonographic studies for the differentiation of benign from malignant lesions is likely to be based on the presence or absence of a constellation of imaging findings, rather than a single characteristic. In our description of two examples of the sonographic "hump and dip" sign in patients with carcinoma, we find this margin characteristic is not specific for fibroadenoma and should not be used as justification for imaging follow-up rather than biopsy.

Patriarch Partners Taps Granger to Head Croscill/Glenoit/Excell
GDA Staff -- Gifts & Dec, July 31, 2012
NEW YORK - Patriarch Partners has appointed longtime industry executive Joe Granger as president and ceo of its Croscill/Glenoit/Excell subsidiary.
Granger most recently was president of Springs Global US Inc., which he joined in early 2009. There he developed the Diane von Furstenberg home collection as well as the Pantone bedding and bath line. In addition to overseeing Springs' Wamsutta and Springmaid brands, he structured the launch of Nate Berkus branded home furnishings set to hit Target this October.
Previously, Granger was the svp of sales, licensing and product/retail development at Ralph Lauren Home, where he spent nearly a decade. He earlier had been with Calvin Klein Home when it was licensed to the former Home Innovations, and prior to that was with the former Pillowtex.
"Joe's track record for achieving growth and inspiring innovation in the home furnishings industry well prepares him to drive the future of Croscill, Glenoit and Excell," said Lynn Tilton, Patriarch Partners' founder and ceo. "His experience and established relationships in this tight-knit industry, we believe, will foster accelerated expansion and increased marketshare for these great brands."
Patriarch Partners LLC is an investment firm and holding company that manages 75 companies - among them Ex-Cell, Glenoit and Croscill, the latter of which it acquired in November 2008 - and has annual revenues of more than $8 billion.
"I have long admired Lynn Tilton's and Patriarch's mission of saving iconic American brands and building great value for their respective constituencies," Granger said. "I am thrilled to lead this exciting company's new efforts to further build and enhance the brand value of Croscill, Glenoit and Excell for its retail customers and consumers."Joe Granger - Patriarch Partners

With 31 days until what some people say is the most important election in our nation's history, local Democratic and Republican committees react to the first presidential debate and the poll numbers that have shifted in an apparent response to performances.
After the first debate, a recent Rasmussen poll for likely voters in Virginia says Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney is leading with 49 percent of responders against President Barack Obama's 48 percent.
Romney supporters say the governor did what he had to do at a the first presidential debate Wednesday night in terms of laying out his plan for the economy and health care. But, they said he also showed more of his human side too.
"My mother-in-law met Romney and said he was the most dynamic, charismatic, caring individual and couldn't understand why some people said recently that they were afraid of him because he really is the American dream," said Joy Kuhar, a volunteer with the Romney campaign.
Democrats are still pushing for their candidate and say that the new polls are nothing to worry about.
"The only poll that will matter is the election, on Nov. 6," Obama supporter Bruce Odell said.
Odell says President Obama did a fine job in the first debate, but he says he is looking forward to the next debate.
"We'll be not taking any kind of half-truths or bending of truths in these coming debates. It'll be him taking him toe to toe," Odell said.
Both sides say they will be working very hard the next month to spread the word about the choice America will face on Nov. 6.

Bird life is about habitat. Ucluelet's rich habitats include ocean waters, rocky shoreline, mudflats and old growth forest.
Ukee's great bird show headlines hundreds of species. These include bald eagles and great blue herons from the seashore, chestnut-backed chickadees and blue Steller's jays from the forest, and migrant birds including Rufous hummingbirds and orange-crowned warblers.
Bird watchers don't have to leave town to find the bald eagles. Not at all shy, eaglets are frequently spotted in nests right in town.
Just Birding is based in Tofino, but it's the only outfit of its kind on the Ucluth Peninsula and it transports bird-lovers to Ukee waters. Its owners have 40 years of professional bird-watching under their belts. Their B&B is called B & B – for Bird and Breakfast.

Just Birding owner George Bradd has the right stuff, a veteran guide whose birding has taken him to California, Mexico, Fiji and Australia. Departing guests rave about seeing bald eagles, western sandpipers, lesser yellowlegs, marbled murrelets, black oystercatchers, Pacific loons and many others in a span of 48 hours.
The literal Early Bird Tour focuses on shore and sea birds. Paddle with Eagles has visitors in 7-m/22-ft voyageur canoes that stealthily close in on bald eagles in the tops of old cedars. During the salmon migration in the fall, tours take on extra dimension as eagles swoop into the sea in pursuit of salmon dinners.

Two Red Bank police officers were fired in 2010, but one now receives about $1,100 a month in unemployment benefits from the city and the other gets nothing.
The state approved former Chief Larry Sneed's application for benefits and refused one from former Cpl. Rebecca Chauncey.
When Chauncey filed for benefits with the Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development, Red Bank City Manager Chris Dorsey attached documents alleging misconduct by Chauncey.
He included nothing of the sort with Sneed's application.
Dorsey wrote letters about the firings to the labor department, which decides whether an applicant should receive unemployment benefits.
"In Larry's case, he left Red Bank for entirely different reasons than Chauncey did," Dorsey said Wednesday, declining to elaborate.
Dorsey's letters likely influenced how the labor department awarded benefits, agency spokesman Jeff Hentschel said Wednesday.
One city commissioner said she doesn't know why Dorsey gave different treatment to the ex-employees.
"It needs to be fair to both," Commissioner Floy Pierce said. "I don't agree with anything Dorsey's doing."
Dorsey blamed the state labor department for the situation.
"They asked us questions and we gave them the facts," Dorsey said. "They gave the determination."
Chauncey case
Chauncey was fired in December after a Nov. 16 incident in which several officers searched three residences.
When she applied for benefits Dec. 22, Dorsey wrote to the labor department that he based her termination on a private investigator's report about the incident.
The report by the Tellico Resolution Group said Chauncey allowed a bail bondsman to force his way into an elderly couple's home without a warrant, consent or life or death circumstances, one of which is required by law for all searches.
Chauncey faulted police leadership for never teaching her about the proper chain of command as it relates to bondsmen. But the Department of Labor declined to grant Chauncey benefits, saying she was in "violation of the law" for her role in the Nov. 16 incident. The decision was based on the internal affairs investigation, which Dorsey commissioned for $1,370, according to city records.
To date, Chauncey has not been charged with a crime in connection with the searches. She has a clean criminal record in Hamilton County.
"There's a certain degree of assumption of fact," Hentschel said. "They [benefits examiners] don't go into a great amount of investigation beyond what's presented to them ... to figure out if there's more to what's been presented."
Evidence and sworn statements only come into play at the appeal level, he said.
Chauncey has named Dorsey as part of a $1.5 million lawsuit she filed in U.S. District Court.
She declined to comment when contacted Wednesday.
Sneed case
Dorsey fired Sneed early in July, and Sneed applied for unemployment benefits July 7.
Dorsey attached no disciplinary measures to the application and he did not challenge Sneed's right to receive compensation, records show.
Sneed said in his application that he was fired for "allegedly not being fair with some of his employees."
The Department of Labor granted benefits to Sneed, saying Dorsey failed to provide enough evidence that Sneed committed "workplace misconduct."
Such evidence would've been enough for the department not to give Sneed the benefits, Hentschel said.
Dorsey gave the Chattanooga Times Free Press two dropped harassment complaints against Sneed from female employees, but he did not include the dropped complaints or any other documents that could be construed as "misconduct" in his letter about Sneed's application.
Sneed also filed a $1.5 million lawsuit against the city. He declined to comment for this story and his attorney, Lee Davis, did not return a phone message.
If you are looking a good Criminal Justice degree I strongly recommend "United Forensic College" there you can get the best training to solve crimes.
And once again Chauncey is cheated by Chris Dorsey. Does anyone else see a pattern here? because I do. He is in her lawsuit against the city and yet he is allowed to write the letter to the labor department about her receiving unemployment? that is pure conflict of interest.
Cheated? Or do you mean screwed? Where is the Mayor at in this? Chris Dorsey is running the City Of Red Bank in the ground. Shouldnt the Mayor step in and fire this idiot?
Chauncey: She has a clean criminal record in Hamilton County.
Does the above statement means Chauncey does have a criminal record elsewhere?
Doesn't necessarily matter in this case. In my interpretation, the point was: she hasn't been charged in connection with the bail bondsman incident to "violate the law," except for a private investigation. A real charge would have happened in Hamilton County.
Please remember that the City of Red Bank is on a commission system and that a vote of 3 out of 5 commissioners is required to fire the city manager. Red Bank runs very differently from the city of Chattanooga on that note. She was screwed, completely screwed and I think that more people need to stand up in this city against Chris Dorsey.

We meant protectors. *cough*

To some football fans, the battle on the gridiron is enough, the dulcet tones of Jim Nantz and CTE-addled ramblings of Phil Simms providing the perfect soundtrack to the league's 47th championship game. But to many other NFL lovers, true happiness will only come if -- regardless of who hoists the Lombardi Trophy -- the longest touchdown scored on February 3rd is no longer than 45.5 yards. Welcome to the too-tempting-to-resist world of prop bets.
So why does that guy at your Super Bowl party have his iPhone open to the stopwatch app as Alicia Keys sings the national anthem? Whether it's waiting to see how long a diva holds the last note of "The Star-Spangled Banner" or what color Gatorade gets dumped on the winning coach, the prop bet has taken over the big game, making those mindless box pools feel as exciting as Psy's new side gig shilling for pistachios. By now, even the biggest stick in the seven-layer dip has to admit that prop bets are fun -- and they've changed the way casual fans watch the game.
Last summer in London, countless people lost money when Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II showed up to the Olympic opening ceremonies wearing a salmon-colored hat. (Hey, purple seemed like a no-brainer at 5-to-1.) But that's nothing compared to whoever took the 1,000-to-1 odds that a UFO would show up over Olympic Stadium. These were just two of the bets offered by William Hill, the UK bookmaker with a £1.93 market cap and the inventors of the prop bet.
As that annoying friend who tags along on every Vegas trip likes to say, they don't build those giant casinos by losing money. But according to William Hill's longtime media relations director Graham Sharpe, the company's eponymous founder took a big loss on the first prop he ever offered in 1960: 1,000-to-1 that no man would walk on the moon before 1970. (The victor would spend his £10,000 winnings on a sports car and promptly die in a wreck.)
Losing money may go against the religion of bookies, but all that free publicity cushions the blow, and Hill truly rocked the betting world when they broke even after fielding £250,000 worth of bets on Dallas' infamous "Who shot J.R.?" subplot. (Yes, years later they took money from Simpsons fans when Mr. Burns took a bullet.)
Today, William Hill is still famous for offering 1,000-to-1 odds on everything from the Loch Ness or Elvis Presley being discovered alive to, ironically, a sitting president officially admitting that the moon landing was a hoax. But for the company that issued the UK's first fixed-odds football (that means "soccer") coupon in 1944, sports betting is still its bread and butter. As such, it's no surprise that William Hill brought their bizarre bets to the world of athletics.
Even though the NFL continues to foist teams like the Jaguars and Rams on its European fan base, American football is still big business in London. With that comes the Super Bowl prop bet. "I suspect that we have been taking such bets for the better part of a quarter century," says the thoroughly British Sharpe. "Such bets individually are relatively small beer, but as a whole represent a significant turnover. Many of what used to be known as novelty bets are now mainstream-and they turn over millions."
Perhaps that's why, along with making the 49ers 4-to-7 favorites to win Super Bowl XLVII, William Hill also posted 20-to-1 odds that Beyonce will have a wardrobe malfunction during her halftime show. (Hubby Jay-Z making a cameo pays out at just 2-to-1.) As the company's sports guru, Joe Crilly, can attest: "there will always be someone who wants to bet on a market that we offer, no matter how ridiculous they may seem at face value."
Still, to find out when the proposition bet went from novelty to mainstream, one need look no further than Super Bowl XX in January 1986. Despite Bears coach Mike Ditka's pre-game vow not to use his rotund defensive lineman in any offensive sets, William "Refrigerator" Perry ran one in from the one-yard line, upping the score to 44-3.
Perry's plunge was more than fuel for the George Michael Sports Machine, however. That's because many intrepid bettors grabbed the odds of such a TD occurring at 75-to-1. That line was eventually bet down to 5-to-1, but Las Vegas still lost a mint. And as Jimmy Vaccaro, the inventor of said prop bet, explained, a boom was born.
By all accounts, wagering on Super Bowl XLVII could give 2006, when a record $94.9 million was bet in Las Vegas alone, a run for its money. LVH SuperBook's Jay Kornegay estimates it will fall just a few million short, but he's also confident that prop bets will represent a minimum of 10 percent-and possibly even a full half-of total betting on the game. (SportsBook will grease the skids by offering around 300 different options.)
This, mind you, is only the money being wagered in Las Vegas, where, by law, bookmakers must stick to outcomes that can be documented on the field. (Goodbye, national anthem bet.) That plus offshore wagering means the value of prop bets this year can easily reach nine figures-hardly a surprise in a gambling loving world where the first Super Bowl odds turned up last July.
So will the big game feature a missed extra point or successful two-point conversion? Can Ray Rice (-105) out-rush Frank Gore (-125)? Will Joe Flacco (+200) best Colin Kaepernick (+140) to win the MVP? All these questions will be answered over the last 60 minutes of NFL action this season.
Just try not to laugh too hard at that friend who put his rent money on Vonta Leach scoring the first touchdown (+4,000) because, surprisingly, it might not be a sucker's bet. "Prop bets are not easy money for us," says William Hill's Graham Sharpe. "In fact, they are often suggested by people with more expert knowledge of the subject in question than we have."
It may confuse the average Super Bowl partygoer, but betting stupid sums of money on ridiculous outcomes may not be so crazy after all. So cut some slack to the friend who uses the prop as his crutch. And when it comes time to make your own bet, hammer "tails" on the opening coin toss. Heads has was won the last four Super Bowls in a row, so tails is totally due.
-- Mike Olson

She explores Singapores most notable neighborhoods and explains the growth and development of each and even includes some sights that few visitors see or even hear about. From the worlds only nighttime Formula One race to the citys thriving calendar of events, and its non-stop culture of eating, drinking and clubbingSingapore has stepped out of the shadows and onto the world stage. Famed for its innovative business prowess, what is less known is that the island has more parks, gardens and recreational facilities than any other city of comparable size.
This book is now available and can be purchased in bookstores and online at Tuttle Publishing and Amazon.

My workshop from Agile Australia 2012 with Adrian Smith called "Agile Coaching Workshop" is available on SlideShare. The Agile Coach is a critical role in helping leaders, teams or individuals…
I was unable to attend Agile Australia 2012 and as a result missed out on what looks like an awesome "Agile Coaching Workshop" presented by former colleagues Craig Smith and Adrian Smith. These guys have many years of practical experience between them, and as mentioned once before, when they speak it pays to listen.
The slides from the workshop are available on Slideshare and on Craig's blog (which is where this post links to). Although these are only slides they contain a lot of content that will be useful for those unable to attend the workshop. A preview of the slides had previously been posted and shared by myself too.
For me the section on identifying personal areas of strength and weakness provided me with ideas for improvement – and where I could broaden my skills in the coaching department. I shall be trying out the Agile Coach Competency Matrix and contacting one of the guys for some advice.
I am not an Agile Coach by title and never considered myself a coach – I feel I am more of a Agile practitioner trying to support teams and leave a legacy that will being maturity and delivery success long after I leave. These slides whilst not making up for missing the workshop may give you ideas for assessing and improving your own Agile skillset.
Am sure the guys would appreciate some feedback on the slides and would love to hear from anyone who attended the workshop. I wonder if either Craig or Adrian would fancy presenting a version of the slides at the Agile APN in Auckland some time?
