Was nervous to purchase this item at first because of the reviews by people who owned the product longer than 1-2 years.The good reviews were all from new users. All I have to say is so far so good...I have back and neck issues and this mattress really sincerely helps! This mattress is exactly as pictured, I allowed it 1 full day to retain it's shape after unpacking, and it feels so good. The quality is the same a mattress that costs double. The delivery was very fast! You have to purchase the memory foam according to your usage, environment and level of maintenance. I travel back and forth from one town to another for business, and some days, I am not actually sleeping on my bed. When I go back and forth from a firmer mattress to this one, I feel sore after sleeping on this one, I don't know why? The mattress is BEST the second day after my return and not the first?? AFTER THAT, it is like sleeping on a cloud that cradles you. With regular daily usage, the mattress is amazing A couple things to consider with a memory foam mattress that I learned from family members and friends who own them: * MEMORY FOAM can be HIGH MAINTENANCE, but well worth the investment * How high does the mattress sit against your bed frame, headboard, etc. * memory foam mattresses are better on a flat, hard surface for the best support. Box springs are ok, Bunkie boards are better, and a thick Plywood cut to the size of the bed and covered is the best apparently(advice from my brother who has a much higher end mattress than this one)...However, If you are considering one in the price range over $1000 like my folks invested in (over this one)--then you don't have to do squat!! My brother actually stumbled on this theory after purchasing another competitors memory foam that started to lose its comfort after only 1 year. His wife insisted on purchasing another mattress. While they waited for the other one to arrive, they set their memory foam on their hardwood floor in a guest room and slept on it on the floor. They were shocked at how comfortable it was and are emphatically against box springs for memory foam now. The new mattress is now in the guest room. * You must allow the memory foam to "BREATHE" so that you can maintain it's resilience (for med end and lower end- it makes no difference). You do not want the mattress to actually "memorize" your body contours or it won't support the body as well as when you first purchased the mattress. I remove the covers, unzip the mattress cover and open the windows to allow the mattress to truly aerate while I do laundry. * Moisture/humidity/sweat is memory foams worst enemy. If you live somewhere humid, if your husband is sweaty or his gums spring a leak when he sleeps, if the master bed is close to the bathroom and you love steamy showers INVEST in a moisture proof cover. This comes from family and friends with at least 7 years of memory foam mattress usage experience. Hope this helps someone.
We needed a relatively cheap and comfortable mattress before the holidays since my cat decided to ruin the one we had in our guest room. I couldn't believe what I found...a queen size memory foam mattress with decent reviews for a little over *** bucks, and, bonus, it's shipped right to your door! When it arrive, it was in a heavy cardboard box that was pretty easy to move into the guest room. The mattress was shrink wrapped, but not in the "M" way the enclosed instructions stated. No worries, it opened up easily, and took about a day to fully "expand" and that's about how long the funky foamy smell took to dissipate, too. I had to sleep on it the other day due to a migraine(it's in a dark room) and at first it was cool, then became warm with my body heat. Others have complained that this type of mattress gets too hot, but I thought it was comfortable and my back felt wonderful after sleeping on it. Also, it did NOT sag in the middle as one reviewer commented, and I'm "big-boned", if you catch my drift. The mattress is on the previous boxspring which seems to be doing a great job of supporting it. I would definitely recommend this...what could you lose for a little over *** bucks. Definitely a bargain.
When I first got this mattress I was a little nervous because it seemed firmer than I liked. But after setting it up and testing it out the first night, It was awesome. I slept better than I had in a long time! If you do want some very soft or plush like this is not for you. But I have some back and neck problems and this mattress curves perfectly to support them. Would recommend!
This matress is super, very confortable just like a tempurpedic, but way less money $$$ My husband & I are very happy with the bed, even our dogs they love it too! we all fit perfect.
After seeing the great price of this mattress while browsing the o.co iPad app, I had to take a further look, even though I wasn't really in the market for a mattress. I bought the mattress after reading over 90 positive reviews (yes, i read them all ;-) I decided to buy the mattress, which was on a Tuesday. The mattress arrived at my front door on Friday morning. Very FAST shipping. The mattress came in a fairly small box considering this is a queen size. Inside the mattress was compacted within a sort of compression band, so I just lifted that onto the bed foundation. Then, I just cut down the side of the band with scissors, and watched as the bed immediately started expanding (it was folded in half lengthwise and then rolled into a cylinder shape).I just had to pull out one side of the mattress to help it unfold and it expanded to fit the foundation. I have to admit it was pretty exciting to see a mattress do this. The minor odor didn't take too long to air out w/ open windows, and it was tolerable.. not that strong in the first place. Laying on the bed for the first time was wonderful.. I can't tell a major difference between this and the much more expensive Tempurpedic/memory foam mattresses in stores. It's feel just perfect.. not too soft, not too firm. You can feel your body adjust into perfect alignment. After sleeping on a coil mattress forever, my wife first admitted that although she did feel a little bit of a slight pain when first laying on it, it was only because her spine was not used to being aligned straight haha This is a great mattress and if you are unsure about buying this mattress because its on the web and you can't try it out, GET IT. I heard the lectures from others about needing to try out mattresses before purchasing, but I am very glad I did. I saved A LOT of money on a mattress built just as great as the expensive brands. If you are looking for a memory foam mattress this is a GREAT choice. I LOVE mine!
So far so good. Did not need an adjustment period and I sleep like a baby. Really like it. Did not have to wait very long to use it. Can't believe how small the shipping size is, but I was able to use it after 24 hours.
wasn't expecting it to be so firm I've slept on for several nights but couldn't get used to it. I will have to buy a foam topper in order for it to be comfortable
I owned this mattress for two years and had to give it up two months ago due to a cross-country move. I miss it already! This mattress is great for people who have very weak shoulders and constant back troubles, like me. I have pretty severe scoliosis, which causes more problems than you can imagine, and this is the first mattress I have ever been able to sleep on my side in without waking up the next morning in excruciating pain! It's not normal memory foam, but normal memory foam never left me feeling so comfortable and pain-free in the morning. It supports you in all of the right places. It's very firm, probably one of the firmest memory foam mattresses I have ever been able to find. I also have to say that after two years of use, with two people sleeping on it every night, this mattress never once lost any of its structure or formed any dents. I've heard a lot of people complain about memory foam mattresses denting in or losing support in the areas where you sleep, but that never happened with this mattress. This one really withstood the test of time! A few warnings, it's definitely under a queen size. I actually thought it was more of a full sized mattress, to be honest. And so did my sheets, which were always loose and never fitted correctly. Another warning would be that this is definitely a fairly firm mattress. If you're looking for something soft and squishy that you can melt into at the end of the day, this mattress is not for you. If you have back troubles or just don't like feeling as if your mattress is swallowing you whole, then this mattress IS for you. And my third warning, I'm not sure if this is normal for memory foam mattresses or if it was the cover that we had over ours but for some reason our mattress was always slightly damp. During the summer it would soak up all of the humidity in the air and actually be WET under the bottom of the mattress! It's kind of disturbing. to be honest. I suppose Iowa summers are hotter and more humid than a lot of summers, but I never expected there to be a pool of water under my mattress! Despite those few hang ups, I really thought this mattress was incredible and I will always remember it as THE mattress! The one perfect mattress! I would definitely recommend it to friends...and do...frequently :)
I actually love this product but my wife has issue with it. I am 300lbs and this is great for me. Doesn't sag and doesn't make my 120lb wife roll toward me. The issue she has with it, is that she says it's too warm.
Purchased this mattress last month. Was pleasantly surprised.

Treachery From BushCo on Ports "Compromise"
by DownWithTyranny, Mon Feb 27, 2006 at 08:25:10 AM EST
The very first mention on DWT of Bush's outrageous ports sale was called "Why Is The Republican Congress Letting Bush Sell Off Our Ports To A Shaky Arab Emirate?" (exactly a week ago, Monday, February 20). A lot of hot air has been expelled and righteous indignation has been played out in front of the TV cameras but, the question still remains the same. Although every survey and poll shows that Americans overwhelming-- and vehemently-- reject this deal (today's AOL poll shows that only 9% of respondents want to see it go forward Bush is still pushing this through.

Read previous negative reviews and was plesantly surprised. Negative reviews are addressed as follows: THICKNESS: not thick or thin, adequate thickness for use as a bedspread. Its does not look like its a pillow when placed on the bed. Again, I believe its intended use is as a white bedspread due to intricate pattern. I place it over my comforter when I make the bed and looks amazing - just like in the picture. True comforters are measured in "ounces of fill" this one is adequate for use as a lightweight comforter though I would not reccomend since it wrinkles easily if used as a comforter for daily use. COLOR: white is a true bright white not ivory or cream. QUALITY: Its polyester but very soft. there are no smells. Again, I purchsed for use as a decorative bedspread so I will dry clean it and not risk ruining pattern or accidentlaly shrink by washing in water. VERY DELICATE: one review stated it was falling apart by making the bed and just pulling, Not true, maybe they were very rough and broke the stitching when pulling the fabric or the one they received was damaged. It can be handled normally without damaging the fabric or stictching. Overall I am very pleased with this purchase. Again my intent was to use it as a bedspread and not comforter. I have been searching desperatly for a True White bedspread that was very rich looking and inviting at a reasonable price. I found it in the Carmen white comforter. Comparable comforters other online stores M***ys and P*****ry B**n were $200 - $400 price range and ruched instead of diamonmd pattern - this pattern when found was closer to $400 in other stores.
Ordered white and gray. The white is a bright white, exactly what I wanted. The gray one is darker than in the picture. At night with the overhead light on it almost looked like it had army green in it. Was too dark for what I wanted, but was still pretty. Also, ordered it in a king for my queen size bed. It is an extra thick mattress and the king is a little to big but the queen size was a little too small, so kept the king size. This is a light to medium weight comforter. I am very pleased with it and like the way it looks on my bed.
This product would make a wonderful addition to any bedroom. The color I ordered, blue, is bright and really perks up my room. The best thing is this comforter stays in place overnight unlike another one I have that always seems to slide toward the bottom of the bed. It is nice and fluffy and very cozy to sleep under without a lot of weight on top of you.
The color is true to the picture, I ordered the beige. In the photo is appears the shams are euro shams but they are not, they are standard shams but nonetheless very nice. As expected when it arrived it was quite wrinkled from being packaged but just a few spritzs with the iron and steam and it looks fantastic. Even the little throw pillow it comes with looks great after a little steam wrinkle release. Great value for the price! Pair it with a different color coverlet and your bed will pop! I've spent so much money on bedding sets in the past and I love this one the most!
This comforter set is great! I went for the taupe because the white looked too bright and it was more beige than I wanted. I was hoping for off white like it looked in the picture. But none the less the pattern looks cool and the set is soft and warm. I love it.
Perfect weight soft comforter. Looks more expensive than it is. It's a good quality comforter set, especially for the price for the King. I was shopping for a set to get me by until I found something else. I didn't know I would like it so much! I'm no longer shopping for comforter sets.
I really like this comforter - light enough for Texas summer evenings; the style allows it to never look rumpled. The color complements most any furniture.
This set definitely looks like what is depicted in the image, however the taupe has a yellow undertone which I was not expecting and what I am most disappointed with is how it feels...the sheets are soft however the fill for the comforter itself feels like the scratchy stuffing often found in pet/dog dogs. :( I wish it felt nicer but it no longer is something I use as a blanket, instead it now sadly serves more like a mattress pad.
Lightweight and looks great. I am hoping that it's easy to wash.
The comforter is soft and warm - actually a little too warm for me - I am always hot! Not sure why some said it was light. Very good look - love it in my room - gray is a great charcohol shade.

By SHERRY VAN ARSDALL
Milestone Construction in Syracuse was awarded a contract for $739,820 for the city's central garage expansion project.
Members of the Goshen Board of Public Works and Safety approved the contract Monday after receiving five bids at the Feb. 11 meeting. The central garage is used to service city-owned vehicles.
The City Council in 2012 approved the purchase of property and a former warehouse at 320 Steury Ave. for $190,000 with the intent to relocate the garage from Fifth Street to the new site. This project will renovate a two-level office and the existing warehouse and add a steel-framed metal sided building to make the facility suitable for vehicle maintenance.
Also, the Goshen Engineering Department received permission from the board to advertise for bids for the 2013 50/50 sidewalk and curb replacement program. Bids for the project will be due April 1. All necessary funds have been appropriated and are available for the project.
In other matters, the board:
• Approved a request from the city's utility department to declare 1,202 water meters as surplus property and to sell them.
• Approved a three-year maintenance program agreement of $7,191 with Cummins Crosspoint for emergency back-up generators at the city's police station, three fire stations and street department.
• Entered into a contract with Kiefer Consulting for $9,311 for soil sampling and analysis of farmland where the city's biosolids from the wastewater plant area applied. The city has a land application permit from the Indiana Department of Environmental Management for the application of biosolids and is required by IDEM to conduct the testing. Kiefer Consulting will provide the farmers using the city's wastewater sludge with the soil nutrients information that is found.
• Approved a request from Goshen Engineering for a survey by Brads-Ko Engineering and Surveying for $6,640. The work is needed for stormwater improvements on Steury Avenue.
• Approved a policy to provide public notice of meetings by publishing the notice on the city's Internet web site.
• Approved a request by Justin Clark, an employee for the Vineyard Community Church in Syracuse, to use city sidewalks March 8 and 9 to obtain footage for a small scale video production for Easter and Good Friday.

ARCADIA, Calif. (April 10, 2010) – Racing a distance on turf for the first time, Dream Nettie registered a 9-1 upset Saturday when rallying from just off the pace to defeat Lucky Rave by three-quarters of a length in Santa Anita's 30th running of the $100,000 La Puente Stakes for 3-year-olds at 1 1/8 miles.
The Kentucky-bred son of Dixie Union, ridden by Joe Talamo, covered the route in 1:48.80 after tracking early leader Ace of Aces and assuming command inside the eighth pole. Lucky Rave, ridden by David Flores, closed strongly for the place, one-half length ahead of Bogie with Alex Solis aboard.
The extended distance and surface change appeared to flatter the bay gelding trained by Jerry Hollendorfer, whom he co-owns in partnership with William de Burgh and George Todaro. Dream Nettie's only prior turf experience had come earlier this year in a sprint at Santa Anita when he ran sixth. He had won one of four previous starts at 1 1/16 miles over synthetic surfaces.
"We have an improving horse and I think the more distance, the better," Hollendorfer said in the winner's circle. "I had a perfect trip," said Talamo. "I knew we were walking up there, and I almost made a middle move at the half-mile. But I waited and chirped to him at the five-sixteenths, and he jumped into the bridle. He just exploded through the stretch."
Dream Nettie rewarded his backers with payoffs of $20, $9.20 and $5.80. Lucky Rave paid $6.40 and $4.40. The show price on Bogie was $4.80. Fantastic Pick, the mild 3-1 favorite in the field of eight, was never a factor.
The stakes victory earnings of $60,000 more than doubled what Dream Nettie had banked in his eight previous races while elevating his total to $107,800 from a 3-1-1 showing.

In gaining his 12th career victory in his 42nd start, 6-year-old Warren's Pepe achieved his first stakes victory with a tenacious wire-to-wire win under Martin Pedroza in Saturday's secondary feature, the $76,110 Santana Mile.
Claimed at Del Mar for $12,500 last August by Lamonte Isom, Warren's Pepe was making his first start for trainer Julio Canani as he crossed the wire in 1:35.44 while repelling the closing bid of 9-5 favorite Slew's Tiznow by one-half length.
After making his previous seven starts at Golden Gate Fields, the Santana Mile was only the second Santa Anita start for the California-bred son of Rahy who had finished sixth in Santa Anita's 2009 Fleet Grounded Handicap at 1 1/16 miles.
Sent off as the 4-1 fourth choice in a field of five, Warren's Pepe was sent to the front immediately by Pedroza. Tracked by Art Currency, he led through fractions of 24.27, 47.53, 1:10.98 and 1:23. Runner-up Slew's Tiznow, with Joel Rosario aboard, finished 1 ¼ lengths ahead of Norvsky and jockey Martin Garcia in third.
The winner paid $10.80, $5 and $2.80. Slew's Tiznow returned $3.80 and $2.60. The show price on Norvsky was $2.80.
"I told him to make the lead," Canani said in explaining his instructions to Pedroza. "He went easy the first part, and just tried to get away at the end, but you have to get lucky. I was a little worried at the eighth pole, but after that, it was okay."
"I've watched his last couple of races and he broke a little slow," Pedroza said of the winner. "Today, he broke good, and I wanted to go as slow as I could the first quarter, and it worked out. The first quarter was definitely the key.
"When we came to the half-mile pole, I just decided to let him run and get the jump on the closers – make them come and get me. I don't ride like that very often, but it worked. It was my only chance to beat these kind of horses."
The victory was worth $48,690, which increased the career earnings of Warren's Pepe to $343,176 from a 12-11-6 log in his 42 races.
Defending champion Gotta Have Her is the 2-1 morning line favorite among eight entrants in Sunday's 36th running of the Grade III, $100,000 Las Cienegas Handicap at 6 ½ furlongs over Santa Anita's hillside turf course. The Las Cienegas will be contested as the fourth race on a program of nine races that gets underway at 12:30 p.m.

Side-effects of cancer treatments could be avoided
New research at Birmingham University suggests children with brain tumours could avoid the side effects of aggressive cancer treatment.
In-depth scans which determine the make-up of a tumour could potentially mean some children are spared the more strenuous therapies that can lead to long term disabilities.
From 2006-2008 there were 219 cases of brain tumours in children up to the age of 14.

SUMMARY OF SOME OF THE ARKANSAS LAWS AFFECTING THE PUBLIC SCHOOL SITUATION SENATE JOINT RESOLUTION NO. 5 Proposes a Constitutional Amendment to provide for local option elections on how to use local and state money for education. It will allow each district to decide whether it wants a free public school system or to adopt a method of student assistance. It also contains a provision for school millage rates to revert either to the current rate or thirty mills, whichever Is lower, on the electorate^ disapproval of the millage proposed by the school board. This proposed amendment will be on the ballot In the general election of November I960. It could mean the complete destruction of the free public school system In the state, district by district. ACT 5 and (ACT 151 of 1959) Permits transfer of funds from one school district wherein schools are closed by order of the Governor to another school district or to non-profit private schools accredited by the state. Act 5 has been ruled unconstitutional by the U. S* District Court. (No appeal has been made yet to the U. S. Supreme Court. 7-1-59) ACT 46 of 1959 Provides for direct payment by the State Department of Education to individual students on a financial grant basis for use by student in obtaining instruction when the student is prevented from attending public school for any reason beyond his control. ACT 256 of 1959 States no person eligible to attend public school shall be required to attend with students of different race. When school normally attended becomes integrated, parent or guardian may apply to State Board of Education for tuition grants to pay instruction costs in any other,publie or accredited non-profit, non-sectarian private school. Sets up procedures for applying for aid and determining the amount of aid. ACT 84 of 1955 approved February 26, 1957 Provides "Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no child in the State of Arkansas shall be required to enroll in or attend any school wherein both white and Negro children are enrolled". ACT 461 of 1959 This is a lengthy and detailed pupil assignment bill, patterned after the Alabama Statute which recently was upheld by the U. S. Supreme Court. It can, however, be invalid as it is applied. Each local Board of Education, or the Superintendent if so authorized, shall assign pupils upon consideration of: "Available room and teaching capacity in the various schools; the availability of transportation facilities:the effect of the admission of new pupils upon established or proposed academic programs; the suitability of established curricula for articular nunlIsthe, adequacy of the pupils; the adequacy of the pupil's academic preparation for admission to a

Bright Students are Representing! by Bright2009 - over 5 years ago
"This year, our "Bright" fifth grade students voted on the design and color for their class shirt. They are very proud to wear them whether it is on special days for the fifth graders or to class field trips over the next few months. The day this photograph was taken, we were headed to The Dorothy Chandler Music Center in Downtown Los Angeles. Teachers and students from the many schools present admired our shirts and I personally bragged about the wonderful CustomInk company. Captured in this photo are the students from Ms. Hamilton's class, which represent one-fourth of the Bright El. school 5th graders. The t-shirt sale for our grade level functions as a fundraiser for all Class of '09 events. It was very successful! Other grade levels are now interested also."

As the trainer of four of the 11 horses entered, Bob Baffert has more than one-third of the field scheduled to start in Monday's opening day feature at Santa Anita, the Grade I Malibu Stakes. But the Hall of Fame trainer plans to let the chips fall where they may as far as giving instructions to the riders of his Fab Four: Racing Aptitude and Mike Smith; Hoorayforhollywood and Garrett Gomez; Smash and Rafael Bejarano; and The Factor and Martin Garcia.
"The outside (No. 11 post position) is a much better spot for The Factor," said Baffert, who has seen the only graded stakes winner in the lineup break from the dreaded rail in his last two races, the Grade I Ancient Title Stakes on Oct. 8, in which he finished fourth as the 2-5 favorite, and the Grade I Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile on Nov. 5, in which he faded to eighth, beaten nearly 12 lengths after setting the pace early on.
Asked if The Factor would be sent from the more advantageous post, Baffert said, "I don't know. I just let Martin ride his race. There's a lot of speed in there, so I just let my jockeys ride their race and see what happens. I quit giving instructions. If you have to give instructions (to jockeys), you shouldn't use them."
Baffert dismissed a Malibu mano-a-mano with fellow trainer Steve Asmussen, who entered three in the race for 3-year-olds at seven furlongs: Rothko, Light Up the Score and Wine Police.
"(Richard) Dutrow (Jr.), he's in there (with Associate)," said Baffert, who is seeking his first win in the Malibu, having failed to reach the winner's circle with 20 previous starters. "And like I said, there's other speed, so we'll just have to see what happens."
The Factor blew out four furlongs Thursday on Hollywood Park's Cushion Track in 48.60, while Centralinteligence went the same distance at the Inglewood oval in 47.60 for Ron Ellis.
The field for the Malibu, which goes as the ninth and final race on opening day: El Pocho, Kevin Krigger, 50-1; Centralinteligence, Joel Rosario, 8-1; Luckarack, Hector Berrios, 30-1; Rothko, Corey Nakatani, 9-2; Racing Aptitude, Mike Smith, 8-1; Hoorayforhollywood, Garrett Gomez, 8-1; Light Up the Score, Victor Espinoza, 12-1; Smash, Rafael Bejarano, 9-2; Associate, Ramon Dominguez, 6-1; Wine Police, Joe Talamo, 8-1; and The Factor, Martin Garcia, 7-2.
Trainer Blake Heap is looking forward to seeing trainer Wesley Ward when his long-time friend and fellow trainer arrives from Florida for the Christmas holidays.
Ward's visit is two-fold: to see his family and to saddle Cozy Kitten in the Grade II Sir Beaufort Stakes at one mile on the grass on opening day.
Cozy Kitten worked four furlongs on Santa Anita's turf course Tuesday in 48.60. "He worked real good around the dogs," Heap said. "He's doing really well.
"Wesley is coming in with his wife (Kim) to see her grandmother. He was going to be here next Monday anyway, so he said, 'We might as well run.'"
Cozy Kitten is coming off a seventh-place finish in the Grade I Hollywood Derby on Nov. 27, but was beaten less than three lengths.
"He had a lot of trouble in the race," Heap said. "He might want a little longer than the one mile of the Sir Beaufort, but hopefully we'll have opportunities later in the meet in the turf marathons at a mile and a half and the San Juan Capistrano (at about 1 ¾ miles) on closing day."
The field for the 12th running of the Sir Beaufort, which goes as the eighth race: Cozy Kitten, Alonso Quinonez, 12-1; Venomous, Joel Rosario, 4-1; Comma to the Top, Joe Talamo, 4-1; Mr. Commons, Mike Smith, 9-5; Thirtyfirststreet, Hector Berrios,20-1; Irish Art, Rafael Bejarano, 10-1; Moment of Weakness, Kevin Krigger, 30-1; Ultimate Eagle, Martin Pedroza, 3-1; and Riveting Reason, Victor Espinoza, 20-1.
WHITE MAKES 'FACTOR' MILD MALIBU CHOICE; MR. COMMONS 9-5 IN SIR BEAUFORTSanta Anita's oddsmaker, Jon White, has installed The Factor as the 7-2 morning line favorite for Monday's Grade I Malibu Stakes, the main event on the track's opening-day card.
"The Malibu is a race that many trainers point for," White said. "It has become such a strong race that it makes it a real challenge in terms of making a morning line. The field for this year's Malibu is very deep. Several horses have the credentials to win it, which also was the case last year."
"One of the reasons I made The Factor the favorite for this year's Malibu is he's been the favorite in six of his eight career starts," White explained. "He also is a Grade I winner at the Malibu distance. And on opening day last year, The Factor ran a lights-out race to win by a big margin (8 ¼ lengths) and break Santa Anita's six-furlong track record.
"I think Rothko and Smash also are going to receive quite a bit of support from the bettors. And Associate might get quite a bit of play, too. Rothko, Smash and Associate all could appeal to those bettors who emphasize speed figures.
"Smash has earned some big Beyer Speed Figures, while both Rothko and Associate have excellent Thoro-Graph figures. Associate has turned into a tiger in his two starts for (trainer Rick) Dutrow since being claimed for $35,000 at Saratoga. In both of those starts Associate has run off and hid. He certainly could prove a tough customer in the Malibu off his Thoro-Graph figures for those two races."
1. El Pocho 50-1 Very tough spot for Chilean import to make U.S. debut
2. Centralinteligence 8-1 Won in fast time in his only start on the dirt
3. Luckarack 30-1 Big class hike to Grade I level off win for $40,000 tag
4. Rothko 9-2 Looks like major player while seeking 4th straight win
5. Racing Aptitude 8-1 Fast drills at Santa Anita after 16-1 upset at Hollywood
6. Hoorayforhollywood 8-1 A neck and a couple of noses away from being 4 for 4
7. Light Up the Score 12-1 Blossomed during the Churchill Downs fall meet
8. Smash 9-2 Contender off his fine record and 1:10 4/5 work
9. Associate 6-1 Two huge wins in NY for Dutrow since being claimed
10. Wine Police 8-1 Has faced the likes of Stay Thirsty & Caleb's Posse
11. The Factor 7-2 Grade I winner at the Malibu distance
1. Cozy Kitten 12-1 Not without a chance off his 3rd in Oak Tree Derby
2. Venomous 4-1 Slow pace in Hollywood Derby did not help him
3. Comma to the Top 4-1 Sharp recent synthetic win; Grade III turf winner at 2
4. Mr. Commons 9-5 Exits BC Mile and looks tough vs. 3-year-olds
5. Thirtyfirststreet 20-1 Runner-up in Zia Park Derby on the dirt
6. Irish Art 10-1 Finished 9th in Hollywood Derby at 12-1
7. Moment of Weakness 30-1 Zero for 8 since coming to U.S. from Ireland
8. Ultimate Eagle 3-1 Won Oak Tree Derby & Hollywood Derby
9. Riveting Reason 20-1 Ran 6th twice during Santa Anita autumn meet
John Sadler has promising 2-year-olds entered in both juvenile stakes races at Santa Anita on opening day, Almost a Lady in the $100,000 California Breeders' Champion Stakes for fillies and Stoney Fleece in the $100,000 California Breeders' Champion Stakes.
Each race is at seven furlongs on the main track. "They're both doing well," Sadler said. "Stoney Fleece is the more accomplished of the two. He's won four out of six, so I'd imagine he'd be the favorite in there.
"Almost a Lady has won both her starts, but her (3 ¼-length) win (at 3-5) in a starter allowance is a little easier race than the race on Monday. I imagine she'll be second choice to the Spawr filly."
That would be Ismene, the unbeaten Anoakia Stakes winner, who is seeking her third straight win, this time from the outside No. 6 post. "It's a nice post for her," Spawr said. "Just color her gone."
As for Sadler's prospects for this meet, Santa Anita's training champion in 2008-09 and 2009-10 was cautiously optimistic, using a line out of the Will Rogers handbook:
"We've got a lot of eggs," Sadler said. "We'll see how many hatch."
The field for the California Breeders' Champion Stakes for fillies, which goes as the first race: Tangerine Tickle, Hector Berrios, 6-1; Almost a Lady, Joel Rosario, 7-2; Willa B Awesome, Martin Pedroza, 5-2; Warren's Amber, Victor Espinoza, 20-1; Belloma, Martin Garcia, 6-1; and Ismene, Mike Smith, 6-5.
The field for the California Breeders' Champion Stakes: Forever Freedom, Joe Talamo, 10-1; Passing Game, David Flores, 7-2; Got Even, Garrett Gomez, 12-1; Johnny Be Mine, Martin Garcia, 4-1; Motown Men, Rafael Bejarano, 7-2; Crimson Giant, Modesto Linares, 50-1; Stoney Fleece, Joel Rosario, 5-2; Exotic Slew, Alonso Quinonez, 8-1; and Heart Fever, Corey Nakatani, 12-1.
It was a typically furious finish when Eddie Delahoussaye piloted Lord Grillo to a 9-1 victory in the 1997 Malibu Stakes, defeating 3-10 favorite Silver Charm by a half-length. The retired Hall of Fame rider came from next to last in the field of nine after a slow start.
"Lord Grillo came from off the pace that day," Delahoussaye recalled. "I knew Silver Charm would be up close and naturally he was the horse to beat. I swung wide in the stretch and Silver Charm had to steady a little bit in the stretch.
"I got the jump on him and I don't know if it would have made any difference if he got through or not, because when we galloped out, we were still in front of him. I was glad I got the jump on him." Prior to Lord Grillo, the great Delahoussaye won the 1991 Malibu aboard the Ron McAnally-trained Olympio.
Now 60 and retired from riding since 2003, Delahoussaye has recovered from surgery on his right hip four years ago and is a frequent Santa Anita visitor during morning workouts, where his ingratiating, down-to-earth manner makes him one of the most popular people on the backstretch.
"I'm buying and selling horses and I've got a few clients," he said. "I'm doing some consulting and going to the sales trying to find some horses. I'm keeping my hands in the game and doing a little PR for the track once in a while."
FINISH LINES: Gates open on opening day at 10 a.m. First post time is 12 noon. Santa Anita's popular wall calendar will be given free to all fans at Santa Anita with paid admission while supplies last . . . Bill Spawr on Breeders' Cup Sprint winner Amazombie's four-furlong work Wednesday in 48.40, breezing, for his 2012 debut in the Grade II Palos Verdes Stakes on Jan. 21: "I'd say he's on schedule or even ahead of schedule. I mapped everything out from the 21st back in case we get some bad weather, so I've got a little wiggle room." . . . M One Rifle, also a Palos Verdes candidate, worked on Santa Anita's fast main track Wednesday for Bruce Headley. The 2009 Malibu winner went six furlongs in 1:13.20 . . . Also at Santa Anita, Bob Baffert sent Breeders' Cup Juvenile Sprint winner Secret Circle six furlongs in a bullet 1:11.60, fastest of 12 drills at the distance, the average time of which was 1:13.23. Oak Leaf Stakes runner-up Candrea went five furlongs for Baffert in 1:01.20 as she prepares for the Grade II Santa Ynez Stakes on Jan. 15, while veteran stakes winner El Gato Malo went three furlongs in 37.20 under the direction of Craig Dollase . . . Ron McAnally said he spoke by phone to cancer-stricken trainer Lewis Cenicola yesterday. "He sounded weak, but it was good to talk with him," the Hall of Fame trainer said of John Henry's former exercise rider, who is undergoing Hospice care at his Arcadia home.

Victini and Mew are both.....well...cute, and they're legendaries. Also, they're both psychic-types. Who is more adorable? Who is stronger? Who do you like better?
I like Mew, because he looks cuter, he is rarer, and he can FLY!

Who is more adorable?
Mew. At least to me, Victini is very... weird.
Who is stronger?
Mew, I guess.
Who do you like better?
I never used a Mew in-game and I loved to use Victini in BW.
So my vote goes to Victini.
Mew without a doubt. We need more small arms, big feet Pokemon!
Design-wise, I won't be 'biased' and go with Victini. Clearly it has some sort of theme going on; Mew's just a pink fetus.
Battling-wise, they're the same in base stats, but Mew has the unpredictability on it's side with it's HUGE movepool. Although, Victini gets points for V-Create. Still, I've used a Mew in HGSS (10th Anniversary) and, man, do they hit hard.
Conclusion? I haven't cashed in my Liberty Pass yet, despite getting it a month ago. So I don't have a feel for Victini's persona as of right now. I'll say that Mew is a definite favorite for me, though. Mysterious and playful come through in it's anime appearances, and in-game it's strong and varied. It's also the original Pokemon, you know, before Arceus came along. For now, then, I'll choose Mew.
PS ~ Are you just making this thread to justify your username? XD
Even though Victini is better design wise & has the unique typing, Mew beats Victini in so many ways. Like this one: Mew knows EVERY TM & HM. A shitload of moves to choose from to such a tiny little creature. ;) Lets not forget it contains the DNA all pokemon. I can always respect that.

Victini. It's adorable TEETH won me over.
I kissed you in the water and made your dry lips sing
I saw you look like a Japanese baby
In an instant I remembered everything...
Victini looks like your random level three encounter on the first route. Mew does not. Thus, Mew wins 10-0.

Who is more adorable?- Victini is really, really cute!! :) :)
Who is stronger?- Mew has the movepool of all movepools. Mew wins.
Who do you like better?- I've used both (10th anniversary Mew in HG and Liberty Pass Victini in White) and I would have to say Mew. Mew has gotten me out of more tough situations than Victini has. But Victini is still a good Pokémon.
"If we climb high enough, we will reach a height from which tragedy ceases to look tragic." ~Irvin D. Yalom
I've never used a Mew before so I'm gonna have to go with Victini.
I'm warning you, I am a lethal killing machine. It was a secret government experiment. They did stuff to me. Spooky stuff... Anal stuff. It turned me into a dangerous telekinetic. As the ancient Tibetan Philosophy states "Don't start none, won't be none!"
More adorable?
-Victini is. Mew has already an impression of pedophile to me after kidnapping Pikachu in the Lucario movie. LOL
-Mew definitely.
I prefer?
-Victini. Mew is a shotacat.
Kenta's Pokemon Party
Anyway, Mew is way better, I hate Victini, that nasty little brat was harder to catch than all the other legendaries for me and I don't like how it looks either. I'm not a big fan of it's backstory either, and why it deserves to be "0" in the pokedex.
I'm burning up with my hatred for you, runt!
Claims: Pyroar and Overheat
This one is interesting. Back when Black and White were announced, I hated Victini. I considered it to have all what I don't like in a pokemon's design, in spite of loving everything else that was shown.
Perhaps I was wearing nostalgia goggles myself. I got to preffer Mew over it because of it's importance in Gen. I and all.
But when I actually started playing and looked at the rest of similar legendaries, I figured Mew was actually the one I liked the least in design and that Victini wasn't that bad, being more like a fire Celebi. I also liked the event in the game, which is preciselly the sort of thing I'd have liked to see with the rest of "event pokemon".
Also at that point I had a pokeball, a superball, and an ultraball, and only a grass type to sleep it. That was challenging.
I love Victini, but Mew is impossible to vote against. Its design is wonderfully simple, it can learn pretty much any move... how can I vote against it?

Cover Samples
Marvel contacted me to do some cover work, but wanted to see samples of my work with their characters. They gave me a list of four to choose from, so like a little over achiever I chose to do a cover for all four. The instructions I got where to create a cover image that was not story specific and had no other characters. I tried to have fun with it.

New Wheel of Time covers :D
My pal Seamas and I are back doing covers for the Wheel of Time graphic novel adaptation, and the latest batch is on sale at Dynamite Comics (Seamas did the one with Rand being chased by trollocs through Shador Logoth). We're pretty excited about it and we're cooking up some cool artwork for future issues, so make sure to keep an eye out.

Wheel of Time prints for sale
It seems I've been made into a licensed Wheel of time artist! Both Seamas and I have received the honor of being able to help illustrate the world of the Wheel of Time, and as a result we get to sell prints of our work. All images must meet with Harriet's approval, and here's what I have approved so far. Seamas and I are trying to come up with ideas for different types of things we can put our images on to sell besides just prints...any suggestions? In the meantime, I'm working on some new WoT illustrations to see if I can tempt any of you into buying them...and if you have a scene or character in particular you'd like to see, you should let me know! If you're interested in buying prints of my work, just click the link in the upper right corner of my blog to go to my gallery, and make your choice of size, paper, etc.

RENTON— On Monday, June 17, Renton Technical College will offer its first Massive Open Online Course (MOOC). These courses are free for anyone to join. The debut of MOOCs at RTC conjuncts with its deepened focus on eLearning, which allows students more flexibility.
This is a professional development course titled, "Hybrid Courses: The Best of Both Worlds" and is designed to give educators tips on organization, planning and tools to be successful in teaching technology. The course currently has over 600 students who have enrolled. Curriculum and Technology Specialist Liz Falconer, who will be facilitating the MOOC, was the driving force behind bringing MOOCs to RTC. "The MOOC setup refocuses the student's energies on learning. "It is very much a 'journey' rather than the destination; since students are not graded in the traditional sense and sign-up with different goals and with a wide variety of backgrounds. They can select the parts that are meaningful and important for their own purposes. With that being said, some MOOCs come with a certificate of completion, and I am offering that for people who want to do a final project in this course," said Falconer. MOOCs are a growing trend in higher education and many Ivy League schools such as Harvard, Princeton and Stanford now offer them.
The course runs from June 17 - July 15 and there is still space available to enroll.
Renton Technical College prepares a diverse student population for work, fulfilling the employment needs of individuals, business and industry. The institution has the highest completion rate of any two-year college in Washington State.

Meehl promoted to director of the Center of Entrepreneurship at Lake Erie College
With the funding and vision in place, Lake Erie College has hired John Meehl as its director for the new Center of Entrepreneurship, which was funded by a recent $1.297 million five-year challenge grant from The Burton D. Morgan Foundation of Hudson and the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation of Kansas City, Mo.
Meehl, former director of Academic Services at the College, is taking the reigns of the new initiative titled, 'Put Your Passion to Work.' He will be in charge of managing activities and programs of the Center, including supporting student internships, community outreach and special events. He will also facilitate community and alumni engagements related to entrepreneurship in cooperation with other campus offices. Meehl is currently in the process of establishing a Student Advisory Board for students interested in providing input into the new initiative.
'Put Your Passion to Work', has a three-fold foundation – faculty and curriculum development, experiential components and mentoring and community and alumni engagement. The initiative will help create an awareness and inspire an entrepreneurial spirit in students, regardless of their major field of study.
"I am excited about beginning this new opportunity and look forward to working with the faculty and community to make the Center a success," said Meehl. After spending 30 years in public education in
Ashtabula County, Meehl originally joined Lake Erie as a member of the Education Department where he served as instructor of education and chair of the department. He continues to serve as an adjunct professor.

North Carolinas Loren Shealy won Sports Illustrateds female College Athlete of the Year award yesterday. The rising junior field hockey player won the award in its first year of existence. Cornell wrestler Kyle Dake was named the male College Athlete of the Year.
She is from Charlotte, N.C., and attended high school at Charlotte Country Day.
Shealy was second on the team with 16 goals and third in points, helping to lead the Tar Heels to a national championship appearance. However, she was equally, if not more, impressive off the field.
In addition to being named an All-ACC Academic, Shealy is the first-ever athlete to become a Robertson Scholar, which allows her to split time between classes at UNC and Duke.
Shealy graduated from Country Day a semester early to enroll at Chapel Hill in January of 2011. One year later, she was one of 18 Carolina students to be awarded the prestigious scholarship. She is majoring in business administration.
Its a challenge, but its very doable, said Shealy of balancing high-level academics and athletics. If it hadnt been for (coaches and teammates) understanding my situation and wanting me to fully participate in the Robertson, I couldnt have done it.
I think one of the biggest things I learned was that hard work and dedication to what youre doing will take you a long way, no matter what youre doing. I just kind of went into it knowing that I had to give everything 100 percent, and thats all I could do, and everything else would fall into place as long as I gave everything my all.
Sports Illustrateds editors and writers picked Shealy over four other finalists: Oregons Liz Brenner (volleyball/basketball), Northwesterns Taylor Thornton (lacrosse), Baylors Brittney Griner (basketball), and LSUs Kimberlyn Duncan (track).

Late In The Evening Lyrics
First thing I remember I was lying in my bed,
Couldn't've been no more than one or two,
And I remember there's a radio,
Coming from the room next door,
While my mother laughed the way some ladies do,
Well, it was late in the evening, and all the music seepin' through.
Next thing I remember, I am walking down the street,
Feelin' all right with my boys and with my troops, yeah,
Down along the avenue some guys were shooting pool and I
Heard the sound of a cappella blues, yeah,
Singing late in the evening, and all the girls out on the stoops, yeah.
Then I learned to play some lead guitar, I was underage in this funky bar
And I stepped outside and smoked myself a J,
When I come back to the room, everybody just seemed to move,
And I turned my amp up loud and began to play
It was late in the evening, and I blew that room away.
First thing I remember when you came into my life,
Said, I'm gonna get that girl no matter what I do,
Well, I guess I've been in love before
And once or twice been on the floor
But I never loved no one the way that I love you,
And it was late in the evening, and all the music seepin' through.

PENDLETON, Ind. — Pendleton Heights snapped a five-game losing streak Friday, running roughshod over Muncie Southside on its way to a 62-27 victory.
Senior Jim Arney gained 151 yards on 12 carries and scored three touchdowns to lead the rejuvenated Arabians offense. Eight PH rushers combined for 295 yards against the Rebels after not reaching a combined 100 yards in the previous five games. Coach John Broughton, sporting a bright pink shirt in support of the first Pink Out for Cancer Game, thought the Arabians ran the ball better but didn't want too get to "giddy" about it.
"We were running against a poor defense. But our young kids needed that. We've got two freshmen on that offensive line. Two of the five are freshman and one's a sophomore. And then we got a junior and a senior so we have to get them some confidence. That helped us," Broughton said. "They're big kids, so they're going to playing for us down the road but we need them to play now. They gotta play now. They did a nice job blocking up front."
Noah Etchison (70 yards) and quarterback Jesse Furrow also had a rushing touchdown each for the Arabians.
The improved PH running game opened up the passing game for Furrow, who was a perfect 6-of-6 for 209 yards and three touchdowns. Chandler Wilson accounted for 108 yards of that total on just two catches that both resulted in touchdowns. Brandon Riggs also had one touchdown catch of 31 yards.
Senior Eren Davis scored the Arabians' special teams touchdown with a spectacular 77-yard kickoff return in the first quarter. Muncie South didn't let him get his hands on the ball again.
"They don't want to kick deep to our kids. They gave us the ball at midfield because we're pretty good back there," Broughton said. "We ran three back last week and one this week. Eren got a hold of it, and he's got confidence right now, he and Chandler both."

SAN DIEGO, Calif., Jan. 8, 2003 - The roar of the crowd made way for the buzz of the saw and the hammering of nails during a Super Bowl blitz build as four National Football League players built a Habitat for Humanity house alongside volunteers and homeowners during the week of Super Bowl XXXVII in San Diego, Calif.
"When I got my first home, the NFL provided that - with my salary," joked San Diego Chargers Defensive End Marcellus Wiley, who also tackled home building in last year's Super Bowl blitz build in New Orleans. "Now the NFL, through Habitat for Humanity, is providing the Diaz family with a no-profit, no-interest home."
Wiley joined Scott Turner, a corner with the Buffalo Bills, Tim Dwight, a wide receiver with the San Diego Chargers, and Chuck Wiley, a defensive end with the Minnesota Vikings, as they hammered on a house on Sheryl Lane in National City, a San Diego suburb, to help the Diaz family achieve the dream of homeownership.
"People can put us on a pedestal and call us heroes, but this is what I enjoy - being with real people," Turner told the Diaz family and a crowd of Habitat volunteers. "Jesus said, 'I came not to be served, but to serve,' and I have the privilege to serve the Diaz family. They have had a lifelong dream to have a home and now God has made it a reality."
Dwight, who flexed his construction skills by pounding nails on a frame and installing a portion of the roof, said he helped to build his own home a few years ago. "Our job is great, but what it's really all about is touching people."
Eduardo and Aida Diaz, the partner family of the NFL Super Bowl XXXVII Habitat for Humanity home, will contribute sweat equity hours building their home as well as others, and pay a no-interest, no-profit mortgage. They say they are looking forward to moving out of their small National City apartment and providing a safe, decent home for their two young sons, 7-year-old Elias and 4-year-old Benjamin. Eduardo works as a finish carpenter, helping to create the American dream for other people.
"One of the best dreams we have is to own a house, and now we see it come true," said Eduardo Diaz. "I want to thank God and thank Habitat for Humanity for helping me and my family build a home. And we are grateful to the NFL and the players. My sons say they can't wait to play football in a yard with grass, instead of on the small concrete slab they use now."
The NFL, Allen & Company, and Sports Events donated more than $100,000 to Habitat for Humanity International to build the Diaz's home.
Habitat for Humanity International is an ecumenical Christian ministry dedicated to eliminating poverty housing. Founded by Millard Fuller, along with his wife, Linda, Habitat for Humanity International and its affiliates in more than 3,000 communities in 87 nations have built and sold more than 125,000 homes to partner families with no-profit, zero-interest mortgages. http://www.habitat.org/ [1]

The distinguished members of the Connecticut chapter of the Society of Cosmetic Chemists (bet you didn't even know we had a chapter here) will be gathering this September to hear about seaweed.
Connecticut seaweed to be exact. The kind of seaweed that can be used in all sorts of cosmetics, from lip gloss to "butter body cream." The kind of seaweed that could potentially rev up a whole new industry in this state.
The dude they'll be listening to is Connecticut's seaweed guru, Professor Charles Yarish. His talk will be entitled "Nutrient Bioextraction: Opportunities for Nutrient Management and Economic Development in Long Island Sound and Coastal New England," but all it really boils down to is locally grown seaweed.
Yarish says he's going to be pushing the idea that Connecticut's cosmetics manufacturers shouldn't really have to import the seaweed they use in their products from France or somewhere in Asia. Not when this state has already opened up what Yarish hopes will be the first of many seaweed farms along its shoreline.
"I want to get them to understand what's under their noses," says Yarish, who has been studying seaweed and its potential uses for decades at the University of Connecticut, where he is professor of ecology and evolutionary biology.
What's under their noses is kelp. "There is a whole suite of compounds that come from kelp," Yarish points out, compounds that are both potentially valuable to seaweed farmers and desirable for the cosmetic companies that use them.
Connecticut's General Assembly just passed legislation that sets up a state regulatory and inspection process that will make commercial cultivation and sale of seaweed possible.
Seaweed is like some do-gooder's dream plant. The list of different types of things you can use it for is freakish: human food, animal food, fertilizer, biofuel, and cosmetics.
It doesn't need the sort of environment-destroying crap that commercial land crops require (pesticides, herbicides, chemical fertilizers). It doesn't require tons of fresh water like corn or soybeans or wheat. In fact, seaweed can actually extract a lot of those excess agricultural and lawn fertilizers that are getting washed into the Sound, where they screw up the ecosystem.
In Scotland, Norway and some other places, people and governments are all whipped up over the idea of harvesting tons of seaweed for use as biofuel.
Unlike the corn used to make ethanol, turning seaweed into fuel won't push up the costs of human food around the world. Experts point out that food-corn prices are rising because so much corn is now being used for fuel.
It seems like a terrific idea, but Yarish doesn't think it's the right thing to try for Connecticut seaweed farming.
"That's the lowest hanging fruit," he says of using seaweed for biofuel; he believes the limited sort of seaweed farming that will be possible along Connecticut's coast should concentrate only on the highest possible value crops.
Seaweed farming along the Sound will have to be limited because our congested shoreline is being used for all sorts of other things, including fishing, boating, and clam and oyster beds. "Our coastal waters have so many competing uses," says Yarish.
So Connecticut seaweeders need to concentrate on things with high potential value like human food and, yes, cosmetics. "We should be looking at maximizing the value of the commodity we're producing," is Yarish's theory.
The first use of high-quality Connecticut seaweed is likely to be for human food, and the state's first farm, off Branford's Thimble Islands, is already getting ready to start selling.
And then, says Yarish, there are cosmetics.
According to the U.N.'s Fisheries and Aquaculture Department, "Extract of seaweed is often found on the list of ingredients on cosmetic packages, particularly in face, hand and body creams or lotions."
It can be sold in sachets as something you put in bathwater. It can be ground up and used as a paste in "thalassotherapy" (where you get it spread all over your body to restore the skin's natural beauty and suppleness and, uh, well, you get the idea). It can be used in massage creams, face masks, shampoos, body gels, and do-it-yourself body-wrap kits.
The guy who invited Yarish to speak to Connecticut's cosmetic chemists is John Mahon, the president of this state's chapter.

By Fox 2 News Staff
DETROIT (WJBK) -- The Detroit Police Department says they have demoted Commander James Moore two ranks to lieutenant. The move comes after Fox 2 reported that Moore was under investigation by internal affairs for two alleged domestic violence incidents.
Earlier this month, Fox 2's Ronnie Dahl explained that the incidents reportedly took place over a 30 day period and involved Detroit police officer Deloma Stone.

"Based on the seriousness of these allegations, his role as commander was compromised in the police department and in the community. Standards for appointees are higher than that of other ranking officers. There are consequences for any allegation of inappropriate behavior. We will investigate all reports of misconduct," Interim Chief of Police Chester Logan said in a statement.
"The chief's action is consistent with my desire to eliminate improper behavior in the police department and all City of Detroit departments," said Mayor Dave Bing. "Employee misconduct will not be tolerated."
Moore told Dahl by phone that he wasn't romantically involved with Stone and had done nothing wrong.
Dahl also reported that while the case was presented to the Wayne County Prosecutor's Office, there would be no criminal charges because Stone was not "cooperating with the investigation".
The mayor's office says Moore has been with the police department since 1978 and was elevated to the rank of commander in 2007.

Eco Halogen Bulbs
Eco Halogen Bulbs are one of the latest versions of incandescent light bulb technology. With the household versions of the traditional incandescent light bulb having succumbed to the phase out instigated by the EU ban, halogen bulbs have had to be improved in order to not suffer the same fate.
The subsequent strive for improved effieciency has seen the creation of energy saving halogen bulbs...
Halogen v eco halogen
Halogen in its base form is something like 10% more energy-efficient than its regular incandescent cousin. The type of halogen being used inside the bulb influences the final figure. In addition to that, a new technology that redirects infrared heat back onto the filament helps the lamp burn more brightly still and bumps up energy-efficiency to around 20-40% over basic halogen technology. Some energy-saving halogen bulbs clock up an amazing 50-60% advantage over old incandescent bulbs.
The halogen advantage
Halogen lighting tends to be cheap - that's one thing we can all appreciate. But where it really shines is in light quality. Being an incandescent light source it produces a full spectrum of light, which makes it almost peerlessly colour-accurate. The CRI measure (colour rendering index) that is sometimes referred to is inherently maxed out by halogen, where other technologies fumble to hit a half-decent score. Halogen light is bright, crisp, and is ideal as critical display lighting or task lighting.
What we stock
We sell a wide variety of energy-saving halogen lamps:
- Eco Halogen GLS Bulbs : high quality replacements for regular incandescent bulbs with extra energy-efficiency and twice the lifespan.
- Eco Halogen Candle Bulbs: perfect for crisp, pure light from your luminaires and pendants!
- Eco Halogen Golf Ball Bulbs: little spherical marvels of crisp halogen lighting for your compact-sized luminaires or decorative pendants.
- Eco Halogen GU10s: the classic mains-powered spotlight with all the inherent benefits of one of the best forms of light around.
- Eco Halogen Low Voltage Spotlights: low voltage multifaceted reflectors for track or rail lights, recessed ceiling lights or desk lamps.
- Eco Halogen Double Ended Linear: powerful halogen linear lamps for uses such as floodlights.
- Eco Halogen Reflectors: bright and efficient replacements for old incandescent 'R' type mains reflectors.
- Eco Halogen Capsules: incredibly bright light from very small luminaires and fittings is possible with these great incandescent replacements.
- Eco Halogen AR111: impressive output for lighting large display areas - save money over old incandescent equivalents!
Still trailing fluorescent lamps or LEDs for sheer low-powered efficiency and lifespan, these energy-saving halogens are, nonetheless, an enticing blend of affordability and fantastic-quality light.
