The Miami Marlins initiated the third franchise-changing fire sale in the 20-year history of the team on Tuesday, reportedly sending Josh Johnson, Mark Buehrle, Jose Reyes and others to the Toronto Blue Jays for Yunel Escobar and prospects. SBNation's Miami Marlins blog, Fish Stripes, takes stock of the franchise in the aftermath of the big deal. Many are upset.
Head writer Michael Jong thinks the Marlins' brass panicked:
The worst part about this trade is that the Marlins did not need to perform this move. We had heard rumors that the Fish were going to sport an $80 million payroll next season. The team had two players in Reyes and Buehrle who were locked into long-term deals at reasonable rates given their projections following their 2012 season. Instead of taking a measured approach and trading a player like Johnson to slowly acquire parts, the team panicked, as it seems they did with their midseason moves, and got rid of all of the players who were making anything resembling a real salary.
He anticipates a strong backlash against Marlins' owner Jeffrey Loria, who made many promises that the new ballpark in Miami would bring new enthusiasm and new success.
If Marlins fans were angry at Jeffrey Loria before, this heinous move will certainly spark a reaction far greater than the one Ozzie Guillen received for his early-season comments.
Marlins fans in the comments section are taking a less diplomatic approach:
Could we make a citizen's arrest...
For defrauding the fine taxpayers of Miami-Dade County, who thought they were financing a new ballpark that would be home to a major league team?

Jason Belmonte originally created a buzz based merely on his unconventional bowling style. Using two hands, a process he traces back to his days as a young boy who couldn't hold the ball in one hand, Belmonte puts an unbelievable number of revs on the ball, which destroys the pins when he's on his game.
By now, he's well beyond a novelty act. He's won bowling titles all over the world, including the 2007 World Tenpin Masters, and is a pretty good bet to cash in any PBA Tour event he enters.
2011-2012 World Series of Bowling
During the 2011-2012 World Series of Bowling, Belmonte proved a lot of people right. For the first couple years of his career, experts and other bowlers were predicting Belmonte would break out and start racking up titles with alarming frequency. Over the course of the WSOB, he did.
Eight events were contested during the World Series, and Belmonte made it to the television finals in six of them. That's impressive enough on its own, since making it to the top four of 204 total entrants is not easy. Belmonte, not content to merely make it to the show, won three of them (the Chameleon Open, Shark Open and PBA Elite Players Championship) and set himself up to contend for the PBA Player of the Year Award.
Belmonte also joined an elite club of bowlers who have thrown televised 300 games when he did so in qualifying for the PBA World Championship.

My Trip to the Trop
At 4:15 AM on Friday morning, I still hadn't fallen asleep. My alarm
was set to go off at 6 AM and I had a long day ahead of me (much longer than I
could have ever presumed). As I was lying in bed, tossing and turning, I
couldn't begin to comprehend that in a few short hours I would be in St.
Petersburg, FL at Tropicana Field within feet of my favorite players. Finally,
I dozed off and it seemed like only five minutes later, a loud buzzer woke me
up. I was too excited to realize how little sleep I got, and really didn't care
that I would be facing my day on two hours of sleep. All I could think about
was a group of guys that consume my everyday thoughts and emotions, and how I
was about to experience what I love more than anything else in this world: Red
Sox baseball.
My dad and I headed to Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport at 6:30 AM and
boarded our flight to Tampa. We sat in our seats and waited patiently for the
rest of the passengers to board. I couldn't help but notice five or six people
wearing Red Sox hats walk on to the plane and take a seat as well. I'm somewhat
of a social butterfly and love meeting new people, especially ones who share
the same love that I have for baseball and the Red Sox. So, I made my way over
to talk to a couple a few rows ahead of me. They were very kind, and they were
headed down to see the games as well. They go to Sox games every year in
different cities. Last year they went to Fenway and this year they were headed
to the Trop just like me! I talked a little bit with a few other Red Sox fans
and it's absolutely amazing to me how one little symbol (the Boston
"B") can bring so many people together. I always find a way to talk
baseball with people and this was no different! During the flight, I was
finally able to start reading "The Teammates" by David Halberstam. It
was recommended to me by a few of my Twitter followers so I had to check it
out. I absolutely love it so far and it was the perfect read to start my
exciting trip.
After we landed (which wasn't the smoothest landing, I might add), we got our
luggage, ran some errands (we had to buy some baseballs so we could hopefully
get a few autographs) and finally made it to the hotel. We quickly changed,
went to grab a late lunch then finally headed over to the Trop. As we pulled up
to the stadium, I couldn't believe that we were actually going to be watching
baseball in a dome. I had never been to a dome baseball stadium and it just
didn't seem right. We arrived around 4:40 and the gates opened at 5:10, two
hours before game time. As soon as we got in, I looked around, certain I was in
a mall. I raced down to the third base wall and stood next to tons of other
screaming Red Sox fans. I was in awe. There's just something about a baseball
field, whether it's indoors or outdoors, that truly makes me happy. There's
nothing else like it. And, to top it all off, the whole team was right there,
stretching and getting ready to start batting practice.
Watching BP was fun, mainly because I love watching all the guys warm-up and
joke around with each other. All of the players walked by, a few acknowledging
the fans (Ryan Kalish and Daniel Nava were two that really stood out), but most
were too preoccupied to give us the attention that we wanted. I wasn't able to
get an autograph the first night, but I really didn't care because I was just
so happy to finally be there. The game went great, we beat the Rays 3-1 and Jon
Lester and Victor Martinez really stepped up at a very crucial time. Lester
went seven innings, giving up only one unearned run off two hits. He struck out
ten, while walking five on 106 pitches. It was definitely a turnaround from his
previous outing. VMart belted two homeruns that night and caught what Terry
Francona said was "the game of his life." Daniel Bard came in for the
8th inning to set-up for Jonathan Papelbon who closed the game out and recorded
his 33rd save on the season. After the game, they allowed fans to walk on the
field and exit through center field. My dad and I decided that we wanted to do
that, and we were able to take some great pictures. It was a perfect ending to
a perfect day.
Luckily, on Saturday, my dad let me sleep in to catch up on the sleep I missed
out on the night before. I wasted a lot of my day by not waking up till 1 PM,
but I really needed it. After I got ready, we ate a late lunch again and then
headed back over to the field. I decided that I wanted to be closer to the
dugout this time so I could watch parts of the NESN pre-game show. I was at the
wall, right next to the dugout and it was great being able to see some of the
behind-the-scenes action of the broadcast. As soon as I reached the field, I
noticed Elizabeth Dreeson (@redsoxgirl46)
was on the field and I had to take some pictures for her! She was able to meet
a lot of the players and even interviewed Darnell McDonald (you can check out
her blog with her latest post about her adventures here)! The next person I noticed
was Heidi Watney. She was getting ready to do her portion of the pre-game show
and was sitting right in front of me. After she finished, a few of the fans
called her over for autographs. She graciously came over and signed for
everyone, including me, and was even nice enough to take a picture with me. It
really meant a lot, because she does hold the position that I would love to
possess some day. It showed me the type of person she is and I was pleasantly
surprised. And to answer the question all of you have been asking…no,
I did not tell her I intend to take her job someday! I truly enjoyed witnessing
that side of the media that I never get to see, and it makes me want to be a
part of it that much more. It was kind of like watching a Red Sox game from a
sports bar, when I could be sitting on top of the Green Monster.
Game two of the series was another incredible pitching match-up. Clay Buchholz,
who had a 0.00 ERA in his previous three starts, and is an AL candidate for the
Cy Young Award was facing Rays pitcher Matt Garza. Buchholz went 7 1/3 innings,
giving up four hits and two runs (one earned) while striking out five and
walking two. VMart kept up his hitting from the previous night, hitting another
solo shot in the top of the eighth to break the 1-1 tie and give us the lead.
However, when Buchholz returned for the bottom of the inning, he quickly gave
up that lead when B.J. Upton hit a lead-off, game-tying homerun. A few crucial
errors occurred for the Sox in the bottom of the seventh inning, though. The
first being a bad pick-off attempt by Buchholz that sailed into the right field
bullpen, allowing Carlos Pena to advance from first to third. After that, J.D.
Drew made a mental error by chasing a foul ball down the right field line and
catching it to make the out. However, that was only the second out of the
inning and Pena was able to tag-up and score from third. Pena's run was the
first run allowed by Buchholz in 26 innings. One incredible defensive play was
made my Ryan Kalish in the bottom of the second, though, when he robbed Upton
of a possible RBI double or triple by making a diving catch in center field
(with a somersault at the end) to end the inning. As a
baseball fan, I was very excited about the bonus baseball we encountered that
night. I'll never complain about free baseball, although it was heartbreaking
to watch Dan Johnson hit a walk-off homerun to win the game 3-2 against my team
in the bottom of the tenth inning. Being there to witness that was surreal,
bittersweet, but most of all, depressing.
That picture is me and Jamie Brooks (@jsbsox). I was able to meet her at the game on Saturday!!
Sunday came way too fast for my liking, but we had all day to waste because the
game was changed to the 8:00 PM ESPN game (which my dad was not thrilled about
because we had to change our flight from Sunday night to Monday morning). We
decided to go to the beach for a little while since we were staying in
Clearwater, which was only a 10-15 minute drive to the shore. I refused to wear
a bathing suit because I was on this trip to watch baseball, not get a tan. We
spent about an hour out there taking pictures and we even got some ice cream.
It was very relaxing (but very hot) and I was just ready to get back to the
field. After the gates opened, I rushed down and decided to try a new spot
during BP and I ended up on top of the dugout, right where the players walk in.
Within the first few minutes, Terry Francona came out of the dugout and started
signing autographs. I was lucky enough to have him point at me so I threw my
ball to him and he signed it and threw it back. A lot of the players
acknowledged us but I knew how focused they were on the final game of the
series. While I was standing there, Dick Vitale, a season ticket holder in the first
row behind home plate, showed up. My dad has always been a fan and talked me
into getting his autograph. It's kind of ironic that I went to a three game
series to watch the Red Sox and I ended up walking away with two broadcasters
and a manager's autographs. Oh well, it is what it is and I wouldn't have
changed it for the world. But, there was a very essential game about to start
and we really needed to win, but the baseball God's had something else in mind.
John Lackey was starting for us that night while we faced James Shields. Lackey
went 6 1/3 innings, giving up five runs on nine hits, walking three and
striking out seven. The turnaround in the game was in the bottom of the sixth,
when Lackey gave up three runs, a two-run game-tying homer by Carl Crawford and
then a bases loaded, one-out RBI single from Dan Johnson (the hero from the
previous night). It could have been two runs, however, VMart had a great block
of home plate to prevent the second run to score. But, the damage was done and
the Rays were on top 3-2 and never gave up the lead again. Yamaico Navarro had
his first RBI in the big club in the top of the fifth when he singled to score
Mike Lowell from third. The Rays ended up winning the game 5-3 and took two out
of three at Tropicana Field. It was a very tough weekend for the Sox, as we
fell 6 1/2 games behind the Rays and Yankees in the AL East and the Wild Card
Despite losing the series, I had such an incredible time. The cowbells, I must
admit, were a bit obnoxious and I would be perfectly content never having to
listen to them… ever again. A few of the Rays fans even stooped as low
as the World Cup and brought vuvuzela's. It wasn't completely
abhorrent, however, I could never imagine having to deal with
that every single home game. I guess being a Red Sox fan isn't so bad after
all. If I had to choose my favorite part of the entire weekend (which is almost impossible), it would be having the opportunity to watch Daniel Bard warm-up and pitch in two of the three games. He is my favorite player and my dad was amazed at how many pictures I took of him (sorry, dad)!
Regardless of the injuries, the disappointments this season, and all the
heartbreak we've sustained, it was absolutely worth every penny to be able to
spend a weekend with my daddy, watching my favorite boys. So, thanks dad, for
everything. I had such a wonderful time with you and I know these memories will
last a lifetime! My trip to the Trop was an experience I will never forget, and
I just hope that we can turn this season around and show everyone what we are
capable of!
If you would like to see all the pictures from this weekend, add me as a friend on Facebook! I should have them up very soon!
Go Red Sox!

CMA's SRO (Standing Room Only) event started in 1972, when CMA held a seminar to present Country Music talent to fair managers from across the United States and Canada. Bringing together talent buyers, concert promoters, artists, support services, venues, and many other members of the Country Music community, this International Entertainment Expo honored and celebrated the live entertainment industry and its leaders.
Originally known as the Annual Fair Buyers Seminar, the three-day event held a number of titles including Talent Buyers Seminar (1974-1984) and Talent Buyers Entertainment Marketplace (1985-1989), eventually becoming SRO in 1990.
In 1985, the first-ever SRO Award was presented to talent buyer, Harry A. "Hap" Peebles, of Harry Peebles Agency in Kansas City. Continuing through the '80s and much of the '90s, CMA presented dozens of SRO Awards in more than 15 categories to honor the outstanding achievements of Country artists and touring industry leaders, including venues, clubs, agencies, publicists and service companies.
After 15 years, the SRO Awards returned in 2012 to celebrate the Country Music touring industry and the people who continue to promote and sustain America's favorite live entertainment format!
Each qualified voter will receive an email from CMA's official online service provider, Election Services Corporation.

The Placer County Sheriff's Office provides air support services throughout the county. The Air Support Unit's aircraft consists of Falcon 30 and Eagle 2. Falcon 30 is an American Eurocopter AS 350 B3 AStar, a five-seat helicopter (as configured, capable of seating six.) Powered by an 870 HP Turbomeca Arriel-2B1 turbine engine, Falcon 30's response speed is approximately 135 mph, service ceiling is 20,000 feet, range is approximately 250 miles and typical endurance is close to two hours.
Falcon 30 aircrews are highly experienced, fly with ANVIS 9 Pinnacles™ Night Vision Goggles during night operations, have received specialized rescue training and conduct law enforcement patrol, marijuana eradication, short haul, long line, external cargo, water rescue, search and rescue and rescue hoist operations, day or night.
Falcon 30 is equipped with a modern avionics package: glass cockpit, GPS moving map systems, multi-channel communications systems (which are capable of communications on all allied agencies radio systems throughout and surrounding Placer County), public address system, satellite phone, high definition day surveillance camera, night infrared imaging camera and a high-powered spotlight. Falcon 30's rescue hoist can lift a 500 pound load and has 164 feet of cable. Falcon 30 can also sling load Aup to 1660 pounds of cargo.
Falcon 30 is named after Sacramento Police Officer Bill Bean, a former Placer County deputy sheriff. Bill was killed in the line of duty on February 9, 1999, in a Sacramento shooting. Bill was a star football player for the Colfax Falcons and grew up in Placer County. His jersey number was 30. Bill was an inspiration to all who knew him.
Falcon 30's FAA tail number (N911WL) is also very significant. 911 is in tribute to the lives lost on September 11, 2001. W honors Deputy Paul 'Woody' Woodruff, the first Placer County Sheriff's Office helicopter pilot and founder of the helicopter program. Woody was killed in a civilian helicopter training accident on September 10, 2003. L is in memory of Chief Warrant Officer-Five Arthur 'Art' Laguna, who also flew as a volunteer pilot for Placer County. While flying security protection for U.S. diplomats in Iraq, Art was killed when his helicopter was shot down on January 27, 2007. Woody and Art both contributed immeasurably to the Placer County Air Support Unit and will never be forgotten.
Falcon 30's primary purpose is to provide air support and backup for the deputies on the ground, hence the motto, "Protection from Above." This is accomplished through responding to backup deputies, providing aerial surveillance for deputies, routine patrol, crime suppression, photo, video and infrared surveillance, crime scene photography or video, search and rescue missions, hoist rescue operations, sling load cargo operations, homeland security missions, assistance in narcotics operations including marijuana eradication and other emergency missions.
Eagle 2 is our fixed wing partner in the Air Support Unit. Eagle 2 is a Piper Navajo twin, capable of long distance, high-speed travel. The primary mission of Eagle 2 is the transportation of prisoners, department administration and other county personnel within California and the western states.

UPDATE: Keston's Aimee Fuller causes controversy with Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics commentary of Jenny Jones' slopestyle snowboarding medal win
Updated 4:56pm Monday 10th February 2014 in News By Patrick Grafton-Green, reporter
LABELLED "a disgrace" by some and as "brilliant" by others, Keston's Aimee Fuller has caused controversy with her commentary of Jenny Jones' bronze medal win at the Winter Olympics.
Miss Fuller, who had gone out of the slopestyle snowboarding event at the semi-final stage, joined Ed Leigh and Tim Warwood in the BBC commentary box for yesterday's final.
The BBC has since received more than 300 complaints, with people saying the commentary was of a low standard.
The commentators cheered when Miss Jones's competitors fell, and also began crying when it became clear she had won a medal.
On Twitter, Chris Hewitt said: "I see I wasn't alone in thinking the BBC's commentary of Jenny Jones' medal was ridiculous - 300 complaints! And deserved - was a disgrace!!"
Ian George added: "Great to see Jenny Jones win a bronze medal for team GB in Sochi. A shame about the awful BBC commentary."
However, social media responses seem to be more positive than negative, with Trevor Cowdery saying on Twitter: "Brilliant heart on the sleeve commentary @aimee_fuller, @SnowEdLeigh & @Tim_Warwood showed true passion #bbcsochi well done."
James Haggerty added: "Just for the record - @SnowEdLeigh @Tim_Warwood & @aimee_fuller 's commentary was the best I've ever heard on the BBC. More pls."
The commentary can be viewed here.
Earlier in the day, Miss Fuller had missed out on the final of the event, in which riders head down a course that includes rails, kickers and jumps.
The 22-year-old fell during her first run and needed a strong effort in her second to secure a place in the final.
However a slight slip following a double back flip meant she missed out.
Jenny Jones's bronze medal was Britain's first-ever medal on snow in an Olympics.
The Winter Olympics is taking place in Sochi, Russia, until February 23.

Was great commentary if you ask me, just the usual Daily Fail readers making complaints.

Another classic NS story in which someone who vaguely comes from the newsshopper patch (has lived mostly in the states since 12) manages to get into the national news so the NS makes a story out of it.

Aimee wasn't great but she is a novice at this - the others should have known better as this is their paid job. It was bad. Very bad.
Don't make Aimee a scape goat.

Who cares if Aimee got overexcited? Congratulations to Jenny.

BUT I didn't complain about it. Really, what wrong with people that feel they need to complain about a bit of commentary. It wasn't offensive, just a bit silly.

Madison (AP) — The first selectman of Madison said a soldier from the town was been killed in Afghanistan.
First Selectman Fillmore McPherson said Tuesday the parents of Army Capt. Andrew Pederson-Keel, who live in Madison, were informed Monday of his death. McPherson said flags in Madison have been lowered to half-staff.
McPherson said Pederson-Keel was one of two soldiers killed in an attack at a police station in eastern Afghanistan.
U.S. officials said have said two special forces soldiers were killed Monday when a policeman fired at people leaving a meeting at district police headquarters in Wardak province. The Pentagon has not released their names.
McPherson said Pederson-Keel graduated from Avon Old Farms School in 2002 and the U.S. Military Academy in 2006.

On Tuesday, Shell attempted to restart work on the Corrib gas pipeline and began erecting fences around their proposed tunnelling compound in Aughoose in Co. Mayo. Thankfully, protests organised by local residents and the Rossport Solidarity Camp on Tuesday and Wednesday managed to halt Shell's work on the site so far.
I fully support the protests organised by local residents in Rossport against Shell's attempts to restart work on the controversial Corrib pipeline. Shell, backed up the Irish state, has consistently ignored the concerns of local residents in relation to the health and safety of the pipeline which will transport unrefined, raw gas under high pressure through the area.
I'm also deeply concerned by reports that a number of protestors have been badly beaten, including one person who has suspected broken ribs, by members of the Gardaí as well as by members of a private security company employed by Shell, IRM-S.
It is an indictment of the current Fine Gael / Labour Party government that they are allowing Shell to proceed with these works while the lives and livelihoods of the people of Erris are at risk.
This government intends to further savage the living standards of working people, yet they accept a situation where Shell will massively profit from the give-away of our natural resources. The gas and oil in Irish waters must be nationalised and brought into democratic public ownership. The massive wealth of the Corrib gas field and Ireland's other natural resources should not be used to further increase the profits of billionaire multinationals and instead should be used to provide investment in job creation, healthcare and education.
Days of Action against Shell in Rossport have been called by local residents and Shell to Sea campaigners for this Friday and Saturday. I intend to travel to Rossport this Saturday with many other Socialist Party members to join the protests against Shell and call on everyone else who can to do so too.
Dublin Shell to Sea is hoping to organise transport for those that would like to attend the Days of Action on Friday and Saturday. If you're interested call or text 086-7362417 or or email firstname.lastname@example.com for more information.

Although there is some debate about just how many freelancers there are in the U.S., everyone agrees that the number is rising. Writers, graphic designers, photographers, videographers, and other professionals are choosing to work for themselves even as the demand for creative content increases. Meanwhile, brands, non-profits, and small businesses need content for online platforms and other communication channels. The "freelance economy" is creating a new problem: How do organizations that need content find the professionals to create it?

The Bills have tendered three potential free agents: S Donte Whitner, LB Paul Posluszny and TE Scott Chandler.
Whitner just finished his fifth season with the Bills, recording a career-high seven passes defensed. Negotiations on a new deal broke down in December.
Posluszny, the team's top linebacker, just completed his fourth season in Buffalo, recording 150 tackles.
The way we see it
The Bills hope to have secured the rights to one of their top free agents in Posluszny and answered some questions about whether or not they see Whitner in their future. CB Drayton Florence remains the team's top potential free agent. But, like most deals that have occurred the past week, we won't know what these tenders mean under the next Collective Bargaining Agreement until one is ratified, specifying the number of accrued seasons required to qualify for unrestricted free agency.

CalmSteady UltraPack
Homeopathic medicine VertiFree™ for inner ear imbalance and dizziness + Herbal supplement PureCalm™ for a calmed mood + Herbal supplement MindSoothe™ for emotional health and feelings of well-being
- Relieves dizziness, nausea, sweating, and vomiting
- Alleviates disorientation
- Promotes a calmed mood in minutes
- Soothes the symptoms of stress
- Promotes a motivated and positive attitude
UltraPack Benefits
Maintain a balanced mood and improve inner ear balance. Get the CalmSteady UltraPack, a selection of three all-natural remedies: VertiFree, PureCalm, and MindSoothe.
VertiFree contains homeopathic ingredients that relieve dizziness and nausea. PureCalm balances emotions by combining naturally-processed herbs in a fast-acting liquid form. MindSoothe reduces common feelings of the blues by combining two herbs in convenient veggie capsules.
Together, these remedies can promote a balanced mood and inner ear balance. Get them in one complete package — the CalmSteady UltraPack.
VertiFree is a 100% homeopathic formula that contains the following ingredients in therapeutic dosage: Cocculus (30C), Lobelia inflata (30C), Bryonia (30C), Gelsemium (30C), and Lactose.
- Cocculus indicus (30C) is a plant that's native to India, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Sri Lanka. The berries from this plant were scattered in streams by indigenous people to relax the fish so that they would be easier to catch. This remedy would benefit people who tend to be very fatigued for a prolonged time. Fainting, restless sleep, and brain fogginess may be common.
- Lobelia inflata (30C) is best suited to people who suffer from faintness, dizziness, and weakness.
- Gelsemium (30C) suits people who tend to become sedentary, preferring to move as little as possible. It can be used to address headaches that are accompanied by fatigue. Gelsemium can also be used to address disorientation. Symptoms tend to worsen in late winter and spring or during emotional upsets such as exams or deadlines.
- Bryonia alba (30C) is highly suitable for people who respect their bodies and the environment when they feel healthy. Physical symptoms of conditions that can benefit from Bryonia include situations where the slightest movement is distressing, when headaches are present, and when an individual perspires excessively.
- Lactose (inactive ingredient)
VertiFree is a homeopathic remedy registered with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). VertiFree contains no gluten, artificial flavors, colors or preservatives. The component(s) in this product is (are) officially monographed in the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States (HPUS).
PureCalm is a 100% herbal formula that contains the following ingredients in therapeutic dosage: Lavender, Lemon balm, and Passion flower.
- Lemon balm (Melissa officinalis) has been studied for its beneficial effect on the nervous system. (Kennedy DO, Scholey AB, Tildesley NT, Perry EK, Wesnes KA. Attenuation of laboratory-induced stress in humans after acute administration of Melissa officinalis (Lemon Balm). Psychosom Med. 2004 Jul-Aug; 66(4):607-13.)
- Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) is another well-known herb that is found in countries all over the world. Lavender contains active ingredients such as tannins, coumarins, flavonoids, triterpenoids and volatile oil. It is best known for its soothing properties and as a tonic to support the nervous system. (Lewith GT, Godfrey AD, Prescott P, et al. "A single-blinded, randomized pilot study evaluating the aroma of lavandula augustifolia as a treatment for mild insomnia." J Altern Complement Med. 2005; 11:631-637).
- Passion flower (Passiflora incarnata) is very highly regarded by traditional herbalists for its soothing properties as a general nerve tonic. In modern herbalism, Passiflora incarnata is known as a natural aid for the nerves. This has been supported by clinical trials. (Akhondzadeh S, Naghavi HR, Vazirian M, Shayeganpour A, Rashidi H, Khani M. "Passion flower in the treatment of generalized anxiety: a pilot double-blind randomized controlled trial with oxazepam." J Clin Pharm Ther. 2001; 26(5):369-373.)
MindSoothe is a 100% herbal formula that contains the following ingredients in therapeutic dosage: Passion flower and St. John's wort.
- St. John's wort (Hypericum perforatum) has been traditionally used for centuries to support a balanced mood and to safely maintain mental wellness and equilibrium. In recent times, clinical studies have confirmed ancient wisdom. Hypericum is one of the most widely studied herbs on the market today. Active ingredients include glycosides, flavonoids, volatile oils, tannins and resins. St. John's wort has also been shown to support a stable mood during menstrual and premenstrual periods. (Stevinson C, Ernst E. A pilot study of Hypericum perforatum for the treatment of premenstrual syndrome. British Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology. 2000; 107:870-876).
- Passion flower (Passiflora incarnata) has active ingredients that include flavonoids, cyanogenic glycosides, alkaloids and saparin. Like St John's wort, Passiflora has also stood up well to clinical studies that support its traditional usage as a soothing and moderating herb. A study in France investigated Passiflora as a natural nerve tonic. (Bourin M, Bougerol T, Guitton B, Broutin E. "A combination of plant extracts in the treatment of outpatients with adjustment disorder with anxious mood: controlled study versus placebo." GIS Médicament, Faculté de Médecine, Unité de Psychopharmacologie, Nantes, France. Fundam Clin Pharmacol. 1997; 11(2):127-32).
How To Use
VertiFree tablets, PureCalm drops, and MindSoothe veggie capsules can safely be taken together on a daily basis. When combined, these remedies can be used as part of a complete approach to emotional and physical balance.

Danny Garcia. He meant business this year, good entertaining fights, devastating kos, and launched his career. Promising young fighter going forward.
Nonito would probably be second, his win over mathebula was his best win by far this year. The other two guys were completely out of their league and just looking for a retirement check. Math was game smart and skilled I thought the fight was very close until the champ rounds.
Guerrero had a good year, but to me the way he did it was dirty. His whole style, the way he seemed to try to sell his widest story, even his entourage seem dirty. Not to mention the whole broner thing that seemed like hes just begging for attention.
Matthysse (huge fan of his) had a solid year as well. Knocked out soto, had a great fight with ajose. Would love to see him in some bigger fights.
Alexander had a big year, even though it wasn't very entertaining (please god don't let him and guerrero end up in the ring together, it would be the second coming of Alexander Bradley).
Froch had a big year as well

Simpson may be a "player to watch" in the NCHC this season.
Dillon Simpson's Fighting Sioux are ranked #5 in the College Hockey News pre-season rankings. Simpson was ranked #13 in our Top 25 Under 25, and talked about his time at North Dakota with Alan Hull.
Oilers' fans in the Vancouver area get a chance to catch Dillon Simpson and the North Dakota Fighting Sioux men's hockey team take on the University of British Columbia and Simon Fraser University in a pair of exhibition games at Bill Copeland Sports Centre on January 3rd and 4th, 2014.
Oiler defensive prospect Dillon Simpson recently spoke to Copper & Blue to let our readers know more about his game and how his development is progressing during his time with the University of...
Dillon Simpson is on the rise for the Oilers and the Fighting Sioux.
After going scoreless in the first 9 games of the season, Dillon Simpson has 7 assists in his last 7 games.
"This weekend may mark the first time that North Dakota has been underdogs entering a series in the college career of Dillon Simpson"The above quote speaks to the dominance of of North Dakota's program but the Fighting Sioux are struggling and SImpson recognizes that: "Even with the kind of year we're having we're all confident in the room.

Florida hasn't beaten Florida State in Tallahassee since 2008, when Tim Tebow's Braveheart act led the Gators past the 'Noles in the driving rain. Saturday's weather should be much better, but the Gators would love to rain all over what was supposed to be FSU's dream season.
Here's the game time for and how you can watch Florida vs. Florida State, series history, and injury updates.
Game time, TV channel: 3:30 p.m. Eastern, ABC.
Radio: GatorVision has the radio broadcast of Florida-FSU for free, and the audio is also available on the official Gators iPhone app. And if have an actual radio, not a computer, the Gator Radio Network affiliate list should be helpful.
Online streaming: Florida vs. Florida State will be streamed on ESPN3 and on WatchESPN, but is probably blacked out to much of the Eastern Time Zone, and, frankly, I don't know how well that'll work. Reminder: If you post links to illegal online feeds in the comments, you're getting banned.
Series history: Florida and Florida State have met 56 times since 1958, and Florida leads the all-time series 33-21-2.
Injury updates: Jeff Driskel will start, and a few other players (including Andre Debose) are back from various injuries, but the most important thing about Florida's health is that the offensive line is apparently as healthy as it has been in more than a month. The Gators dominated up front against LSU in The Swamp, but would do something far more impressive by controlling the line of scrimmage against the 'Noles at Ron Zook Field.
Chomping at Bits seems sort of silly on game days. As always: Talk about any and all of this and/or anything else you have to say in the comments. And let this serve as your College GameDay open thread, too.

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
House of Style is coming back to MTV—naturally, this time around online and on social media. But for those of us old enough to remember the dearly departed original, nothing compares. Luckily, MTV thought of that, too: The channel has put a collection of the best moments from the original 1989-1999 series on a dedicated section of its site, so you can see Jean Paul Gaultier's 1989 dance single, Winona Ryder discuss French style, and a young Graydon Carter sound off about Spy. Above, a photo from the show's archives of Cindy Crawford interviewing Linda Evangelista in 1990. [MTV]
Supermodel TV stars of days gone by (that's Cindy, Rebecca, and Molly of House of Style), meet the supermodel TV stars of today. Naomi Campbell, Karolina Kurkova, and Coco Rocha will be the judges of Oxygen Network's forthcoming model-search reality show The Face. [Oh So Coco]
Stella McCartney's "Little Miss Stella" character, who made her first appearance on the designer's invitations for her Spring 2007 show, is back again, and this time she's the star. McCartney has turned to the children's character as inspiration for her new seven-piece kids capsule collection of T-shirts, jumpers, and more, available in Stella stores and online at the end of August. [Telegraph]
EBay is making moves in the fashion industry. The online marketplace has just been named the new multi-season sponsor of the British Fashion Council's Fashion Forward initiative. The project was designed to aid emerging British designers in developing their businesses in London. [Vogue U.K.]

One week ago, Ashleigh Moore's friends and classmates held a vigil in her honor. They all wore blue ribbons and dedicated a flag to their friend, who they believed would be coming home. But yesterday afternoon, students at DeRenne Middle School learned the quiet but funny girl in their class would not be coming back. When news reached the school, counselors acted quickly. They called in extra counselors from the district and sent home letters to parents, letting them what happened and giving them tips on how to help their children cope.
"We spent some time with them, talked with them and continued to check on them throughout day and allowed them to either leave the room for counseling, or talk to parents, whatever it is they needed," said school counselor Rob Norman.
Counselors say today, students continued to grieve, feeling a variety of mixed emotions including fear, sorrow and confusion.
"Lots of raw emotions being expressed even though we had been, in a sense, preparing for it for a while," said Norman. "It was a shock and it was a tough day for everyone."
And while counselors work to help students, they hope parents will offer an ear or a shoulder should their child need one at home.

Boxing is a business the more popular you are the more money and fan base a fighter has. It seems sometimes in the sport of boxing a fighter's popular can cover the lack of skill a fighter has. For example: Mikey Garcia, an up and coming fighter isn't your typical Mexican fighter he moves around jabs and his defense, his skills are rising fast but his popularity isn't where it should be. Andrea Ward is another example, his skills are off the chart but his popularity is so so. Sergio Martinez who is a top Middle weight has great skills but his popularity isn't where it should be. Juan Manuel Marquez is just now getting the publicity that he should have already had because his skill set is very high. Shane Mosley would be the poster child for this category. Sweet Pea never got the crowd to wear it needed to be and Roy Jones as quiet as it is kept.
"Fighters" like Chavez Jr. who shouldn't even be in the ring has a fan base that the aforementioned fighters should have. The kid is a rock star with an average skill set, and that is due to his laziness. Saul Alvarez who has yet to be tested and his opponents has only showcased his strengths has a following of a mega rock star. Michael Jackson status. Others who make this list would be Manny Pacquiao (Pacquiao's boxing skill not style of fighting is what I am looking at. He is an exciting fighter and has had great wars and fights but his skill level as a boxer is average at best) is a a demigod. Paulie Maliggini (spelling is off) and Gattie (RIP) would also be in this category. Again I am looking at the skill set not the type of fighter that they are.
It is very rare that you have a fighter who is popular and has the skill set to match his popularity: Ali, Foreman, Joe Louis, Frasier, Hearns, Sugar Robinson, Mayweather, Duran, De La Hoya, Tyson and a slue of others.
If a boxer has the popularity but not the skill set should that boxer be praised as being one of the premier fighters or should they be viewed as hype, the boxer with the skill set and not the popularity or fan base should they be looked as a top fighter with no fan base or should promoters and cable companies create a venue for their skill set to be seen?

I agree with you. I hate that MF'er too! He's popular because of his father's legacy. Without his daddy, Chavez Jr is Donny Lalonde, just waiting for SRL to come handle him. Jr gets away with bloody murder, either coming in 20lbs over the limit on fight night or just juicing and not havint to take piss tests. All this because he belongs to one of Mexico's royal families of boxing... I hate him and was glad to see Serge beat him down.

Property Tax Payments - Service Details
Financial Options for Participating Municipalities
Option A: Electronic Checks (eChecks)
An eCheck is the electronic submittal of payment that transfers money from the customer account to the merchant account (or a municipal account in this case), following federal NACHA rules.
Similar to a paper check, real time authorization of account numbers and balances is not possible. A few items to consider when considering eChecks:
Benefits to accepting eChecks:
The way it works:
All eCheck payments will be deposited directly into a municipal government bank account. Municipalities may either open a Bank of America account by completing the attached paperwork, or verify that their current bank can accept NACHA files electronically. Please let InforME know which option you prefer so we can assist you in set up.
The InforME share is $2.00 per property tax paid. InforME will invoice the municipality the first week of each month for the previous month's amount due. The Municipality has net 20 to remit payment.
Option B: Credit Cards
Municipalities may allow their residents to pay property taxes using a credit card. Using the InforME credit card engine, taxpayers may pay by MasterCard, Visa, or Discover cards. Municipalities must choose one of the following methods:
Convenience Fees
Municipalities with enabling legislative authority may choose to charge tax payers a convenience fee on top of the tax amount due. This convenience fee would cover the merchant fees, banking fees and InforME share. Please send statutory citation to InforME.
Administrative Features
The Municipal Administrative Site provides a secure, password protected interface that allows municipalities to search for online transactions by date, date range, transaction number, or name of property owner. Municipalities will also have the option to download a data file.

Select Route:
This little area has only one established problem but it's a good one.
Getting There
This area is not actually at the base of Baldy. In fact it's probably closer to the South Seas. Walk the trail through the South Seas around to the T. Usually you would turn right to head to Mount Baldy. Instead turn left and walk for roughly ten minutes. When you come to a small sign and a trail that turns sharply to the right and heads up-hill you've gone about 20 feet to far. Turn around and take a right (a left if you are coming from the South Seas) onto a barely perceptible trail going across a small creek. You will see the boulder (looks more like a small cliff) up and slightly to your left. You will know Organ Donor by the amazing jug start hold that hangs in mid-air.

DALLAS — When most Dallas County felony courts are wrapping up for the weekend, this one is just getting started.
It's a special court for high-risk family violence offenders and the first of its kind in Texas. The men in it have shot, stabbed, strangled or committed other violent acts against the women in their lives.
"A lot of these guys are getting probation because the state doesn't have a strong case, because the complainant is not being cooperative," said State District Judge Rick Magnis. "They're not getting probation because the state or the prosecutor thinks that they deserve it, or that they're not high-risk. It's because this is the only disposition they can come up with that he'll accept."
Magnis hopes to prevent the women in the lives of these men from meeting a violent end, such as in the highly publicized killings of Deanna Cook or Karen Cox Smith.
Cook's family found her murdered in August 2012, two days after she called Dallas 911 pleading for help. Her ex-husband is accused of killing her.
Cox's husband received a 50-year jail sentence for gunning her down in the UT Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas parking garage in January 2013.
So far, five men have accepted plea bargains and been assigned to Magnis' program. The plan is to expand to as many as 30.
"These offenders really are different," Magnis said. "There's so many lethality issues. So many of the cases where the women die there's been a previous pattern of abuse. If the state — for whatever reason — is offering them probation, I want to make sure that we're monitoring them and that they don't re-offend or kill someone."
Every Friday, officials gather in Magnis' "Jury Deliberation Room" to talk about the status of each of the probationers. What do they need? Are they following the rules? If not, what needs to be done?
One by one, the 12 officials seated around the conference table discussed each of the men this past Friday.
A probation officer explained that one man left his residence at 11:40 p.m. one night and didn't return until 2:40 a.m. His curfew was 9 p.m.
"Is that the only issue with this guy?" Magnis asked.
"Yes," replied one of the officials, explaining that the man did attend his batterer's intervention class on Thursday night.
"We just need him to account for where he was," Magnis said.
Officials explained that the next probationer spent a night in jail because he failed to attend court-ordered community service.
"I wanted to make him understand that he's got to do what I say, that he's got to be accountable," Magnis said. "So we'll see if that works."
The other two probationers received a good report.
Last on the list was "Christopher," who was newly assigned to the program. In December 2012, he violently attacked his former girlfriend who was 28 weeks pregnant.
According to police reports, he kicked in a door and choked her until she nearly blacked out. He punched her in the stomach and violently shook her, causing her to have contractions.
The woman called police, telling detectives that he had broken her ribs months earlier.
But days later, records show the woman told police that she did not want to pursue criminal charges against him.
"He has a very entitled attitude," one official said about "Christopher" during the meeting.
"Let's see if we can change his behavior," Magnis said.
Magnis, who was elected to the bench in 2006, said he had a case early in his judicial career that drove home the need to take a different approach.
In that case, the offender was in court to plead guilty in a felony family violence case.
"He was sitting in the courtroom with his arm around a woman," Magnis said. "When he came up to plead, I discovered that the woman that he was with in the courtroom was the victim. He accepted probation, and the victim asked me to lift the 'no contact' condition and allow them to be together. I said 'No.'"
Two days later, the judge received a call.
"He had her barricaded in the house at shotgun point and wasn't going to let her go," the judge said. "I realized early on that we had some real problems."
After the group meets in the jury deliberation room, it's time for Magnis' weekly encounter with each of the men.
One by one, the men approach the bench.
First to approach is the man who violated curfew.
"Looks like you had a night out? Where'd you go?" the judge asked.
"To take the trash out," the probationer responded.
"Were you taking the trash out for two-and-a-half hours?" Magnis asked.
The probationer admitted that he went to see the mother of his child, but denied that it's the woman he attacked. He told the judge that he's looking for a job.
For violating the terms of his probation, the judge ordered him to do 16 hours of community service before next Friday's court date.
"You're lucky that the sheriff's department really did a roundup and arrested about 230 people in the last couple of days, so the jail is pretty full up, and I don't really want to add to that," Magnis told the probationer, adding this warning: "The next time, there's going to be jail time."
The probationer who spent a night in jail for failing to do his community service hours was next to appear.
This time, the judge offered praise for doing his community service hours.
"Thank you for taking care of all your business," Magnis told the man. "I'm impressed. You kind of got a slow start, but you're catching up. I'm really pleased. I've got no issues."
The other two probationers received nothing but praise from the judge.
"All right, I appreciate you taking care of everything," Magnis told one of the men. "It looks like you're doing well. I know it's tough. Keep working it, OK?"
Finally, it was time for "Christopher" to appear.
He wasn't there.
The judge was not happy. He sent the bailiff into the hallway to say his name three times.
No one answered.
"Let's go ahead and issue a warrant," the judge said.
Moments later, the probationer showed up. The judge asked him why he's late. He told the judge that he only has one car and he was late because he had to pick up his daughter from school.
"I don't really like it when people are late. Are you working?" the judge asked.
"Christopher" replies that he doesn't have a job.
"Well, then you should be able to do 16 hours of community service for me before next Friday," the judge instructed.
Magnis also ordered that a device to detect alcohol use be put on the man; that he take a drug test on the spot; and that he begin batterer's intervention classes.
"I need to know where you are and what you're doing," the judge told him.
Paige Flink, executive director of The Family Place, believes this program will save lives.
"This is a different type of program, because it's an after-the-fact program... after they're put on probation, when they think they might be able to get away with something, when they they've not had to go to prison," she said. "It's a tight box for them."
The probation department provides staff members to keep tabs on the men. The Family Place, a women's shelter, conducts batterer's intervention classes.
Recovery Healthcare does the electronic and substance abuse monitoring. Genesis Women's Shelter works with the victims.
The Dallas Police Department's family violence unit provides a detective to make home visits or do whatever is needed from the law enforcement end.
If the men in Magnis' court don't follow the rules, there is a stick: Prosecutors will file a motion to revoke, the men will go before a different judge for a probation revocation hearing, and then it's likely they will go to prison.
"I'm taking a big chance with my career," Magnis said. "If I have one of these guys go off the reservation and hurt someone, I could find myself in trouble. But I'm willing to take that chance because I think it's important."

It is amazing to think that Marc Jacobs has been behind the helm at Louis Vuitton since 1997. He has taken the brand to a whole new level, really solidifying it as a creative force in the industry without taking away any of its classic and signature elements. Modeled by Nyasha Matonhodze, Xiao Wen Ju and Frida Aasen, the Pre-Fall 2012 collection is all about 1940′s femininity with a nod to the the French fashion house's past.
The collection takes inspiration from the great French architect and designer, Charlotte Perriand who designed famous buildings including the French Tourist Office in London and the League of Nations building for the UN in Geneva. Perriand had her heyday amidst the World Wars and was known for her style as well as for her talent. Her influence can be seen in retro-inspired and quintessentially French pieces including berets, elegant flats and a printed dress and top, both featuring strong shoulders.
Hints from Louis Vuitton's past are alive in an eye-catching leopard mohair suit playing with Stephen Sprouse's iconic print and in the resurgence of the classic Papillon bag, in debossed green, brown and black leather.
A collection from the brand would not be complete without some whimsy and design director, Julie de Libran, achieves that in the touches of fur accenting the looks. Fur-trimmed shoes, coat pockets, a handbag and even a forest green vest all make an appearance. The price tag on these pieces will be high, but I have a feeling that these will be among the favorites of the new-age Louis Vuitton fans.
A really powerful collection that honestly has a little something for every woman. I cannot wait to see the Papillon bags in person and I think those along with the charming berets and outerwear will be really the hits from among the looks.

Nyasha is absolutely gorgeous, and I'm glad that I'm seeing more and more of her. I love this collection because I can actually see myself wearing some of the pieces. Kudos to Jacobs to maintaining the integrity of the brand. I'm loving the shoes!!
I'm not really into fur so I'll pass on the fur shoes but overall the collections looks great and I need a pair of those flats in my life.
That Navy Blue coat (#17) is official.
I like the fur details. I love the one of 01. ugh I know i'll never be able to afford any of it, but it's nice to dream right?
