On Feb. 18, Gunter ate at a local restaurant where he received food poisoning. Around 10:30 p.m. that night, he said he started trying to vomit.
"At about 6 o'clock the next morning, my wife got up to go to work, and I had been up all night with it. I finally threw up, and I threw up so vigorously that it tore a hole in my esophagus where it connects to my stomach; I started losing blood and bleeding on the inside," Gunter said. "It didn't take me very long to where I got so weak that I couldn't walk, and then I passed out. She [his wife, Mary Jo Gunter] rushed to call the ambulance, and they rushed me to Princeton."
While at Princeton Baptist Medical Center, Gunter continued to receive blood for six days and, unfortunately, he kept losing that blood.
Doctors performed three different procedures on Gunter. The first Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) was unsuccessful because Gunter had so much blood that doctors could not find the source of the bleeding. During the second EGD, doctors found what was causing the bleeding: a Mallory-Weiss tear, which is a tear in either the lower part of the esophagus or the upper part of the stomach, close to where the two join. When the doctors tried a procedure to clamp it, that didn't work either.
Finally, doctors performed an endoscopic band ligation. This particular procedure is defined as placing tiny elastic bands around enlarged veins found in the esophagus and tying them off so they can no longer bleed. Gunter remained in the hospital for a total of 10 days. However, Gunter describes a miraculous work that occurred the Sunday he was in the hospital.
"I bled Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, and then the blood stopped on Sunday morning when everybody at church started praying for me. We had people from our church that were on a mission trip in Honduras, and of course they were praying for me over there," Gunter said. "We had people in Arkansas, all over the place, praying for me, and that's when the blood stopped Sunday morning."
Gunter attends Hunter's Chapel Holy Church of Christ where he has been a member and the church's treasurer since 1986. He is the song director at the church and a member of the gospel singing group EverPraySing. Hunter's Chapel presented a donation to the American Red Cross Walker-Marion Chapter Tuesday morning. The organization plans to hold a blood drive Friday, March 28, in honor of Gunter. The blood drive will be located at the Red Cross at 1101 Viking Drive in Jasper from noon until 5:30 p.m.
Pam Fikes, executive director of the Walker-Marion branch of Red Cross, said Gunter required several units of blood while in the hospital and now wants to give back. She also said in an email that the Red Cross expects at least 50 units to be taken Friday.
"When a patient is lying in the hospital and a bag of blood is brought in, they see that bag as a gift. Someone gave that blood to them," Fikes said. "That blood is keeping them alive to see another day. There is no greater gift than the gift of life. Please donate — your blood donation will save a life. The need is constant. The gratification is instant."
Gunter is now recovering from his surgeries. He said he went through 21 units of blood within four days, and his doctors said it was the worst case they had ever seen.
He is grateful for those who prayed for him and gave blood because without them, he said he wouldn't be here today.
"I'm recuperating, and it's a slow go, but I'm headed the right way now. I'm getting stronger," Gunter said. "I just appreciate all the prayers because that's what brought me through. It just gave me a different outlook on people donating blood because that's what saved my life."
According to the American Red Cross website, in order to donate you must meet these requirements: weigh at least 110 pounds, be in general good health, meet the minimum age requirements and should not have donated blood in the last 56 days. The Red Cross is a nonprofit organization which operates on community service.
Gunter's opinion on the importance of giving blood is "to replenish the blood supply that they had to use on me to save my life, and I just hope all my friends will come out and donate blood."
For more information on Friday's blood drive you may contact the American Red Cross in Jasper at (205) 387-1478.

AndrewHairDark BrownNormal HairMy Hair Is Reborn!At first, I was skeptical about this shampoo. Pretty much every shampoo out there claims it will make your hair better, but you really don't see the results the commercials claim. But this stuff, my hair feels as soft as it usually does after some conditioning, but it feels like new even the next day. I'm so glad I found this stuff.posted Jul 23, 2014Link to this post

Adrien C.HairFine or Thin HairStrengthens HairMy hair used to be very brittle and prone to breakage then one of my buddies recommended I use the Regenepure hair loss shampoos. I have been using the Regenepure NT for almost 4 months and I have noticed a decrease in hair fall, plus my hair has become much stronger. I also like that their products are sulfate-free. This is a great quality product for people with delicate or damaged thinning hair.posted Jul 8, 2014Link to this post

Christopher W.HairOily HairFine or Thin HairWorks Great On Oily HairI have been using the Regenepure hair loss shampoo system for about 6 months now and I am really happy with the results. Not only do I see a noticeable difference in terms of hair growth but because my hair is naturally thin it also became very oily throughout the day, and the Regenepure NT helped to get rid of the build up while keeping the rest of my hair smooth and moisturized.

The best camera is the one you have with you at the time.
I used to be anti digital cameras. I held out buying one until my daughter was born, and even then it was only out of necessity (i knew it would be way to expensive to develop all that film). I was still holding out on getting a smart phone because I viewed them as a lesser form of life in the photo world. Eventually I got an iPhone for work and found myself captivated by what it could do by itself, as well as with the apps and accessories. This book is about what i've been doing since I stopped being a snob about photo equipment.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A bit of an abbreviated version this morning, because I'm rambling on the radio on The Early Birds on Sports Radio 790 a.m. in Louisville (tune in, or better yet, give us a call.)
But that doesn't mean there aren't a few items of business, particularly where the University of Louisville is concerned.
It's a big night in the Big Apple for U of L. Athletic director Tom Jurich is up for the AD of the Year Award given by Street & Smith's Sports Business Journal. His primary competition will be the late Mal Moore, Alabama athletic director, who passed away in March.
It's tough to imagine any athletic director having a better year than Jurich had. He negotiated U of L's way into the Atlantic Coast Conference, outflanking a Connecticut program that was expected to be a front-runner for the slot.
His football program won the Sugar Bowl with an upset of Florida, then he managed to fend off a Tennessee run at his head coach, Charlie Strong.
Both his men's and women's basketball teams made their respective Final Fours, and the men and coach Rick Pitino won the school's first NCAA basketball title since 1986.
U of L also has had success in other sports, and has the nation's longest baseball winning streak heading into Big East Conference play.
PITINO ALSO TO BE HONORED IN NYC: While Jurich is attending his awards ceremony on one side of Manhattan, Rick Pitino will be picking up the prestigious Winged Foot Trophy from the New York Athletic Club.
The trophy goes to club members who win the title. Pitino was the first the club honored.
SUGAR BOWL BOTTOM LINE NOT SO SWEET: Jack Coffee of the Louisville Sports Report and Cardinalsports.com had an interesting nugget from Tuesday's U of L Athletic Association meeting.The board was told that U of L had to lay out $4.5 million in bowl expenses, largely for a block of tickets from the bowl that weren't bought by fans, and will receive only around $2.1 million from the Big East.It's customary for the Big East to use part of the $17-plus million from the BCS bowl to get its representative at least to the break-even point. U of L, because it is leaving the league, won't get that consideration.It's a problem with the bowl system. U of L brought 30,000-plus fans to the Sugar Bowl. But fans weren't going to buy inferior seats, and if you can get better on the open market, why buy from the school?U of L likely will be a part of an effort to improve tickets given to schools by the individual bowls.TIP OF THE DAY: It's Webcast Wednesday. I'll be hosting our regular Sports Page Live webcast at 10:30 this morning on WDRB.com.

I always enjoyed Anthrax's music, but always grew tired of Joey Belladonna's high-pitched vocals. Now with this album, John Bush's deep hard rock vocals give these songs heavy credibility. The guitar work is massive and sounds phenomenal. Tracks like Among the Living, Caught in a Mosh, I Am the Law, and Be All End All never sounded better on recording. I now have a new, regained appreciation for these songs. In defence of Belladonna, he has more of a vocal range than Bush, and that is evident when you hear this album and compare the songs to their old versions. Overall though, this compilation sounds KILLER!

Purists may see it as a cash in attempt, but "Greater of Two Evils" finds Anthrax retreading their classic Joey Belladonna era thrash material with John Bush's voice instead. And what a great listen it is. Opening up with "Deathrider", which has never sounded better, it is clear that Anthrax haven't lost a step at all, and guitarist Rob Caggiano, who debuted with 2002's "We've Come For You All", is a perfect piece to the puzzle as he and Scott Ian feed off each other the entire album. "Metal Thrashing Mad", "Caught in a Mosh", "I Am the Law", "Madhouse", and "Be All End All" sound more charged than ever before, and the only complaint one can make of "Greater of Two Evils" is that more songs weren't included. Despite that, this is a must own for Anthrax fans, old and new, and a reminder of how real heavy metal is done.
When I found out that anthrax redid some of their best work I wasn't to sure of how it will come out. But I gave this album a shot and man I loved this album when the first track started. I like the sound and they didn't ruin any of their songs. Tracks that blew me away are Keep it in the Family, Indian, and I am the law. I do recommend getting their first albums instead but this album is just fine and keeps the thrash metal still alive.Keep it up Anthrax. It's the best thing I have heard in a while.
OK, some people totally missed the point of this album completely. You guys are so busy comparing John Bush's singing ability to Turbin's and Belladona's that you don't realize that these songs aren't supposed to be exactly like the originals. It would be pointless for Anthrax to rerecord these with Bush if he was supposed to sing like Belladona and Turbin and hit all those high notes. This is an album for the fans that want to hear classic anthrax songs sung by Bush, who had been their singer at this point for about as long as Belladona was. Maybe Bush isn't technically as good of a singer as Belladona but he does have a good singing voice and a completely different style. And as far as Neil Turbin goes he was a ridiculously horrible singer anyway with no real talent other than screaming and TRYING to hit Halford pitched screams, which would never happen. Turbin was only good for getting Anthrax going and provided some decent over the top metal vocals that caught the attention of a few metal fans back in the early 80's and if he had remained their singer Anthrax would never had been able to evolve into the great band that they became. So stop your bitching and comparing this to the originals and enjoy it for what it is. A collection of great thrash and heavy metal classics updated for fans of the John Bush era Anthrax!!!
Well, reviewing this is a little pointless, I suspect, as I think pretty much all the Anthtax fans out there are gonna know whether or not they're interested in an in-studio re-recording of some of the Belladonna and Turbin era material. But, for what it's worth, I think this is a great disc, and absolutely worth the cash. The only bad part about this album is how it illustrates just how dead thrash is, as it completely obliterates all the so called returns and re-births of thrash that we've heard over the years, both in terms of quality,(which they can't really be expected to match in a single album of new material) and sheer metal thrashing madness. (Which they can be expected to match. Well, Overkill still thrashes it up very well, but that's about it.)
Lousy production was a problem for pretty much all thrash bands back in the day, but Anthrax took it especially hard, I think. And, although I knew that this would sound better than the old stuff, I was a little worried that it would integrate production styles of the newer Anthrax material, which wouldn't be quite appropriate for pure thrash.(Louder vox, less harsh guitar tone etc.) Well, I was quite a fool for doubting them, as the production and mix of this album are absolutely perfect. The guitars are incredibly thick and crunching, and pushed way to the front of the mix, and the drums sound great too, particularly the powerful, thudding bass. The vox are right in the center, and relatively quiet, just as they should be. The bass guitar isn't as prominent as it was in classic Anthrax, but you can still make it out well enough, and you get plenty of extra heaviness with the new production. The only complaint I can imagine is that the back-up/gang vox aren't quite as loud as they ought to be, but this is a tiny matter. And the instrumental performances are pretty much flawless. Bush does a nice job with the vox, naturally. I've grown quite fond of the quirkiness of Belladonna's vox, but most of the time Bush is probably more suited for the job. However, it's the change in the production of the instruments that matters, far more so than the different vocalist.(I can't compare him to Turbin, as I'm ashamed to say that I don't own Fistful of Metal) The songs are generally extremely faithful(though not utterly) to the originals, other than some changed solos, which are still generally quite good.(Anthrax was never really about the solos, to me, anyway. Naturally, this comment might not apply to FoM, as I haven't actually heard it, and wouldn't know)
As I presume most people will, I have some very minor quibbles with the song selection. Simply put, Persistence of Time is underrepresented with only 2 tracks. But, the fact of the matter is that there are 12 Belladonna era tracks on this album, and every last one of them is an absolute classic.(Lone Justice is a bonus track) So I can't complain much.And the Turbin material, while not up to the level of the later stuff, is still good, and definitely deserves it's place due to historical significance. And it provides some nice variety as it's very old-school. sorta like the faster material on Kill 'em All with more melodicism and a stronger, straight up speed metal feel.
Well, that's it. Awesome album right here.

Roses are red, and violets are blue, but your Valentine's Day can be green with a little bit of effort and resourcefulness.
Here are some tips, based on suggestions from Waste Management:
- Cards: Save paper by sending an e-card or making a paper card with recycled materials.
- Flowers: Consider buying your Valentine a tree or small plant that can be added to the garden.
- Jewelry: Instead of shelling out tons of cash for a new necklace or earrings, why not pick out an heirloom piece from a second-hand boutique in Historic Downtown Murrieta or Old Town Temecula.
- Food: Forego the expensive dinner out, and instead opt to cook a romantic feast at home with your Valentine.
- Other homemade gifts: Celebrate special memories with your loved one by creating an electronic photo album or playlist of your favorite songs. You could also use recycled materials to make a scrapbook or homemade picture frame.

Even If You Can''t Stand "Rush," I Beg You To Watch This Short Clip...
Original post made by Barbara on Jun 9, 2009
Even if you do not like him, I am reaching out to you -- both democrats, republicans and independents -- to PLEASE just watch and listen to this short 9 minute clip below. This clip is so moving to anyone who loves this country. His message is so powerful.
This presentation (beginning about 3 minutes into the clip) in my mind ranks among the finest in recent history regarding the greatness of America.
Again, to those who do not like Rush, I encourage you to please hang in an listen to all 9 minutes just listen to the audio if you don't like watching him). However the meat of this (no. 5) segment starts around 3 minutes into it.
If you'd like to comment or criticize, I welcome it. I just ask that you keep your criticism constructive.
Sincere THANK YOU from someone who loves this country.

Why don't we ALL just drink the cool-aide and relax! LOL
Like it or not, there are those of us that have ZERO respect for Rush, or anything he has to say!
Have you ever read his magazine? My god, what a ZERO!
on Jun 9, 2009 at 1:06 pm
Like him or not, Rush has too many good points to be a "zero". Unfortunately, too many people have their heads in the sand (clogging the ears) and continue to REFUSE to listen to reason. Their minds are made up. That is what Hitler banked on....and won.
on Jun 9, 2009 at 1:20 pm
I think Rush is great as do 20,000,000 people who listen to him daily. Why do you think the liberal left attacks him? Because he is right, tells the truth, and thus is a threat to those who are destroying our country.

Saints TE Jimmy Graham's breakout season already has made him a star, but Saints WR Marques Colston is quietly — as is his nature — approaching the fifth 1,000-yard season of his six-year career. He quickly returned to his standard form after starting the season slowly because of the broken collarbone he suffered in Week One, which sidelined him for two games. Graham is on pace to unseat Colston as the Saints' leading receiver — a title Colston has held in each of the past two years and four of his five NFL seasons — in Colston's contract year, but that hasn't created any friction between Colston and Graham, we hear. In fact, Graham has credited Colston with being one of his primary mentors. Colston doesn't shirk the spotlight on the field, but he doesn't demand it, and he's well respected in the locker room. Sources expect his first choice will be to stay with the Saints come free agency.

This diary entry was promoted to the front page by Luke Thomas.
With the recent announcement of a partnership between UFC founder Bob Meyrowitz and Live Nation it is becoming much more likely you will see more MMA on a TV near you, possibly even Network Television.
Live Nation (with their Motocross property and with their Mountain Dew Action Sports tour) like to use the Saturday and Sunday afternoon sports blocks in order to publicize their various properties. Live Nation have used their tv deal with CBS to drive folks towards their Motocross shows, raising the visibility of the sport and driving folks to the arena shows. Live Nation is also a part owner of Mountain Dew Action Sports Tour, that airs on a semi-regular basis on NBC. Airing the AST on network TV drives folks to the events put on at various arenas around the country.
NBC would be an attractive home for any programming from this Meyrowitz/Live Nation marriage. The Peacock Network lacks a deal for Sunday afternoon NFL games and only has Notre Dame home games to take room on Saturday afternoons (They have a NASCAR deal, but that is limited in scope as to how much of the schedule they air on the network.) Their Mountain Dew Action Sports Tour would be a good vehicle for cross promotion and has a similar demographic bent to sell to.
The Meyrowitz promotion will have the ability to leapfrog other rival promotions by virue of their relationship with Live Nation. Meyrowitz won't be able to compete with his creation (UFC) yet, but having Live Nation backing him will give him a leg up on others (IFL, Pro Elite, Mark Cuban) trying to provide Zuffa with legitimate competition.

Gilmore Girls: Season 01 (2000)
It took a great deal of intestinal fortitude for the WB network to schedule the first of its "prestige" drama series, Gilmore Girls, opposite the NBC ... Show synopsis It took a great deal of intestinal fortitude for the WB network to schedule the first of its "prestige" drama series, Gilmore Girls, opposite the NBC powerhouse Friends on Thursday night. But the gamble paid off: a critical success virtually from the outset, Gilmore Girls gradually built up a loyal following which assured WB some of its best ratings of the year. The series was set in the town of Stars Hollow, CT, home of 32-year-old single mother Lorelai Gilmore (Lauren Martin) and her 15-year-old daughter, Rory (Alexis Bledel). Having never married Rory's irresponsible father, Christopher Hayden (David Sutcliffe), and long estranged from her wealthy parents, Richard (Edward Herrmann) and Emily (Kelly Bishop), Lorelai had been forced to go it alone in life, ultimately landing a good job as manager of Independence Inn, a Star Hollow landmark since 1779. She had also done a good job raising her straight-A student daughter, Rory -- though because of the close proximity of their ages, the relationship was more sister-sister than mother-daughter. As the first season opened, Rory was poised to enter the prestigious Chilton Prep School in nearby Hartford. The tuition cost obliged Lorelai to swallow her pride and seek out funding from her parents, who agreed to foot the bill on one condition: that Lorelai mend her relationship with them and once again become part of their lives. This condition was primarily set up by Lorelai's mother, who had plans to mold young Rory into the "perfect" granddaughter that her own child had never been.In the tradition of Northern Exposure, Gilmore Girls was populated with a large and colorful supporting cast, ranging from lovable eccentrics to not-so-lovable drama queens. The staff at Independence Inn included pompous French concierge Michel Gerard (Yanic Truesdale) and klutzy but talented chef Sookie St. James (Melissa McCarthy). Not far from the inn was the diner run by curmudgeonly Luke Danes (Scott Patterson), who, as the season wore on, revealed that he'd had a long-standing crush on Lorelai. The self-appointed "leader" of Stars Hollows' merchant class was Taylor Doose (Michael Winters), owner of the town's main grocery store and employer of Rory's off-and-on boyfriend Dean Forester (Jared Padalecki). Others in town included Rory's best friend, Lane Kim (Keiko Agena), whose efforts to assert her blossoming womanhood were constantly being thwarted by her super-strict Korean parents; busybody dance instructor Miss Patty (Liz Torres); supercilious Babette Dell (Sally Struthers) and her husband, Morey (Ted Rooney); and funky handyman Kirk Gleason (Sean Gunn), a classic example of "still waters run deep." At Chilton, Rory ran smack-dab into a maelstrom of snooty snobbery and calculated cattiness personified by Paris Geller (Liza Weil), editor of the school paper. Halfway through season one, Lorelai began dating Rory's English teacher, Max Medina (Scott Cohen) -- a relationship that nearly cost Max his job. Complicating matters was the return of Rory's prodigal father, Christopher, who was still unwilling to make a permanent commitment to Lorelai -- or was it the other way around? Likewise on the romantic front, Rory found herself caught in the middle of the tempestuous relationship between the jealous, spiteful Paris and the trouble-prone Tristan DuGrey (Chad Michael Murray). The first season of Gilmore Girls ended on a cliffhanger as Lorelai pondered whether or not to accept Max Medina's marriage proposal. There was, however, no doubt that critics and fans alike had thoroughly taken Gilmore Girls to their hearts. Rovi

8:30am Sunday 23rd February 2014 in News
AN inquest has found that a Redditch man killed himself.

Medical cause of death was given as hanging.
A verdict that he killed himself was recorded by the Worcestershire Coroner.

For one Richmond, MO, man his latest catch might not be his biggest, but it was sure his strangest while fishing in the countryside. His unusual discovery has the whole town talking.
A 4-foot alligator is not what one would expect to see washed up on the sand banks of a rural Missouri watering hole.
"This is my first time ever running across anything like this," Ervin Franklin said.
The 70-year-old was out fishing for crappie last Saturday when he found the 30 pounds of rubbery scales.
"I didn't even get a bite as far as crappie fishing, but this was a bigger find," he said. "He was actually laying kind of a little bit on his side," Franklin said.
It was lying lifeless on the banks, with part of his tail sticking in the water.
"At first I thought it was a dead fish laying there. The closer I got, I seen the legs, and I realized it wasn't a fish," he said.
Making sure it was perfectly dead first, Franklin picked it up, loaded it in his truck and took it home with him.
"I knew that if I didn't bring him home, nobody is going to believe this story. They aren't going to believe you've seen an alligator down in a pothole along the river," he said.
Franklin reported his find to the game warden who told him, "Finders keepers."
"I may end up trying to skin him out," Franklin said.
In the meantime, as long as the temperatures flirt near freezing the alligator will stay in the bed of his truck where he will keep it there to show everyone he knows, because everybody wants to see it, to believe it.
Officials at the Missouri Department of Conservation can't confirm what the reptile was, but say it is either an alligator or a caiman.
They can't say for sure, because they don't have anyone who specializes in the species this far north. But whatever it was, officials say it probably used to be someone's pet that they let go.

— Jim "Andy" Andrews, 77, passed away at 8:30 p.m. Monday, Jan. 28, 2013, at his home, after a six-month battle with leukemia. He was born Feb. 23, 1935, to Marshall and Violet Andrews in Hemlock. On Nov. 5, 1955, he married Jean Ann Williams, who survives.
Jim graduated from Kokomo High School in 1952, and proudly served in the Indiana National Guard for eight years. He had worked at Sears Roebuck and Co. and Delco Radio before starting his career with Schrader's Auto Parts in downtown Kokomo, where he worked for 28 years. In 1988, he began a 12-year career as manager of AutoZone on East Markland Avenue in Kokomo. He was known as "Andy" to everyone and loved people and working, so retirement was never mentioned. In 2000, he started employment at Indiana University Kokomo as a custodial supervisor until his illness.
Jim loved kids, and it showed. He and Jean Ann cared for more than 100 children through Catholic Charities and Welfare. He was a Boy Scout leader at Taylor School System for 24 years. Andy always loved camping, hiking, fishing and taking Sunday drives. In his spare time, he enjoyed woodworking, making birdhouses, cars and semis. He looked forward to playing golf every year with his National Guard friends. He was also very active in his church, where he was an elder, song leader and youth group teacher.
He is survived by his children, Cheryl (Ron) Woodward, Virginia, Cindy (Craig) Trott, Greentown, Christy (Mark) Geesaman, Kokomo, Rob (Laura) Andrews, Columbus, Steve Andrews, Indianapolis, and Sally (Brad) Weir, Kokomo. He was a loving grandpa to 14 grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren.
He was preceded in death by his parents; sister, Marilyn Burr; brother, Ronald Lee Andrews; and grandson, Stewart Trott.
A special thanks to Dr. Annette Moore and the oncology staff at Community Howard Regional Health, and also to his great hospice care from Community Home Health nurse Jill Lancelle.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in his memory to the Judson Road Christian Church building fund.
Friends and family may call from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday at Hasler & Stout Funeral Home, 112 E. Main St., Greentown. Private services will follow calling Saturday with Dr. Gary Carpenter officiating, and private burial will follow in Greenlawn Cemetery in Greentown.
Messages of condolence may be left at www.hasler-stout.com.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- JCPS officials are taking action after a meeting over religion sparked concern in the classroom.
Superintendent Donna Hargens sent out a reminder to staff about rules regarding religion in the curriculum.
All this comes as questions were raised after the meeting last week.
The Louisville Area Christian Educator Support group was held last week in a public school auditorium to provide information about religious rights and instructional strategies.
Hargens has reminded principals that public school employees are required to remain neutral concerning religion while teaching in the classroom.

A Colorado woman was impaled by a light pole after she crashed because she was texting and driving.
(WMC-TV) - A Mississippi man will spend life in prison without the possibility of parole for the murder of a Memphis police officer and his wife's ex-husband.
In court Tuesday, Alexander Haydel, 24, pleaded guilty to two counts of first-degree murder for the July 2011 shooting and killing of MPD Officer Timothy Warren and Arthur Warren (no relation). Prosecutors would have sought the death penalty at trial. As part of the plea, the life sentences will run consecutive and a third charge of aggravated assault was dropped.
According to police, Haydel and his wife were visiting Memphis from Cleveland, Miss. over the weekend of July 4 , 2011. When they got into an argument on Beale Street, the ex-husband of Haydel's wife stepped in.
Haydel reportedly confronted Arthur Warren at the DoubleTree Hotel and shot him. Officer Timothy Warren was shot as he responded to the call.
Prosecutor Jennifer Nichols says both Warren families agree with this plea arrangement.
"This isn't a win for anybody," said Nichols. "They approached us with consecutive life sentence offers, and that's pretty rare."
Haydel remains locked up at 201 Poplar in downtown Memphis. He is expected to be transferred to state prison within the month.
"Probably at least six months ago we came to them with a proposal to settle it," said defense attorney Gerald Skahan. "He's always been greatly remorseful and sorry for it happening, and he wanted to do the right thing."
MPD Director Toney Armstrong says avoiding trial saves a lot of heartache for a lot of people.
"Our thoughts and prayers are going to always be with the family. We're just grateful that they didn't have to relive this whole event or this whole nightmare for them throughout a lengthy trial," said Armstrong.
Officer Warren's widow was in court but left without comment.

Our experience at Fifi's was
awesome! I recommend to everyone... The food was outrageous... The service and value was outstanding... Will ne back real soon!"
Dined on 8/23/2014
Everything was outstanding.
Waitress wasn't the best but not bad enough to make an issue out of it. Will definitely be back."
Dined on 8/22/2014
We tried Fifi's because of the
Miami Spice Menu. It was a real surprise. The food, service and ambiance were superb."
Dined on 8/16/2014
Although a bit casual (fish and
lobster on Ice near the entrance), the food quality and taste was fantastic. Service was attentive and efficient."
Dined on 8/15/2014
The majority of the wait staff are
terrible. The waiter barely greeted our party and eye contact is apparenlty optional. When we asked about a particular drink her response was unenthusiastic and she seemed very unfamiliar with the menu. She did not check on us and when she did, it was almost like she was doing us a favor. Completely unattentive and no effort was placed into the service. Gratuity is included in the price so there is no incentive to try."
Dined on 8/2/2014
We have been here before.
However, service was very poor this time."
Dined on 7/24/2014
Group of six of us and we put
ourselves in the hands of our server since we haven't had a lot of Cuban food. Best thing we could have done! Food was terrific, service was friendly, our server knew her stuff, and the prices were reasonable. You wouldn't think much from the outside, but don't judge a book by the cover! We all had a great time and enjoyed the varieties of food we had. Well done!"
Dined on 7/20/2014
First time there. Very good.
Attentive staff. The Paradilla for 2 was delicious and more than enough for us. A large group came in but our waiter warned us before we chose our table. We actually had to tell waiters a few times not to clear our table. We spent almost 3 hours there. Our waiter gave us a complimentary Flan. Delicious. I will definately return to ths restaurant when I'm in the mood for seafood. Maybe for lunch next time."
Dined on 6/24/2014
Fifi's is a great great seafood
restaurant. A hidden gem! The food is consistently good! There are so many choices for someone looking to be on a low carb diet. The tuna coconut roll is like nothing I have ever had before. Also the best and freshest tuna tartare! The appetizers are on the pricey side, but you get a good sized portion. For main course, everything is great. It's hard to choose each time we go. The hog snapper, the fish soup, sea bass and even the kobe sliders are awesome!! You can't go wrong with Fifi's!"
Dined on 6/3/2014
The paella and sea bass were
fabulous! In both cases the fish and shellfish were moist and perfectly cooked. We also had the grilled calamari for an appetizer which was also flavorful and not too chewy. I would definitely go back!"
Dined on 5/21/2014
I recommend this place to anyone!
Fresh food, so good! "
Dined on 5/5/2014
You will love their Seafood Paella
! Orde their Caesar Salad prepared with chunks of mango and shaved Parmesan. The home made potato chips for a side were one that comes with meal. They even serve complimentary slice of flan for desert !!!"
Dined on 5/5/2014
I loved the seafood at Fifi's!
Excellent ambient. Nice attendant speaking Portuguese. I arrived late at night (almost 45' to close the restaurant) but they had treated me and my husband very well!"
Dined on 4/30/2014
IS definitely one of the best
restaurants in Florida. We have taken people from Europe, Puerto Rico, Panama, Dominican Republic and New Yorkers and they all want to go back! Fifi is an excellent restauranter."
Dined on 4/30/2014
I thought this was a cute
restaurant. I did not think the fish was very fresh. It was very salty and overcooked."
Dined on 4/30/2014
Fun place, delicious food,
friendly service,. A favorite."
Dined on 4/26/2014
Fresh local Florida fish. Stone
crabs were fantastic - meaty and affordable!. Great wine selection too. Definitely a place for fish foodies!"
Dined on 4/26/2014
Superb ceviche and some of the
freshest and best prepped fish I have in a long time. Tuna ceviche is excellent as was the hogsnapper special and the Chilean sea bass. Will definitely be back. "
Dined on 4/17/2014
Super fresh, delicious fish
dishes. Service friendly and professional. No attitude, which is a nice change from South Beach. It's also a true fish restaurant in the European sense, i.e. lots of variety in the fishes served + fruits de mer. Outstanding, and we will return. "
Dined on 4/17/2014
We really enjoy the food, good
stone crabs, excellent fish and the service from Wendy was the best."
Dined on 4/15/2014
We started with some apps that
could blow your mind like the tuna tacos FIFi tempura shrimp and some sushi. Fried hog fish was very good and so was sea bass. Good wine deals for Miami not over priced at all. Will be back soon"
Dined on 4/13/2014
A friend of ours that lives in Bay
Village invited us to try this restaurant. I can not say enough about this restaurant! Food quality was high, presentation wonderful. My husband and friend split the Paella which was delicious and plentiful with plenty to take home. My Delmonico steak was tasty and tender. However, it was served red inside, not pink as ordered. I sent back and they were happy to accommodate. Our server was patient and attentive; my husband can be demanding and she handled him professionally and courteously. "
Dined on 4/12/2014
To the voluptuous waitress who
served us, call me q-t ;) 631-946-3859"
Dined on 3/28/2014
Appetizers - tuna tartare -
exceptional. Fresh catch of the day woth the price."
Dined on 3/24/2014
enjoy very much the food, the food
samples and the waitress didn't forget about we had somebody's birthday. The only thing, the hostess didn't see our reservation made with open table. Besides that, great place... we will go back."
Dined on 3/23/2014
Go to Fifi's for the seafood. From
oysters to tuna tartare to the special of the day, hog snapper, the seafood was fresh and well-prepared. We did not try any of the non-fish items, but why go to a seafood restaurant for a steak? The complimentary salad that precedes the 1st course was a nice surprise. Forget the sides -- house made potato chips arrived cold and limp, bread was uninspiring, desserts were less than great. On a busy night be prepared to pour your own wine, for inconsistent course pacing, and for so many servers that you aren't quite sure who is responsible for your table. Fifi's does seafood beautifully; well worth every visit"
Dined on 3/22/2014
Being a port town on the sea, you
would think we woud be crawling with great fish restaurants. Sadly, we are not. Those that do, serve the same grouper & dolphin over & over. Not Fiifi's. The freshly caught hog snapper is a highlight with an exquisite plating but the branzino special (though on the expensive side) was equally good. Loved also the variety of olive oils, the fresh bread and the wine list. Great friendly service round out the gem of a neighborhood restaurant!"
Dined on 3/15/2014
Went on spring break with the
kids. Not knowing the area and being that it was a Saturday night decided to go on Open Table it was a no brainer. Every one was super nice and the place got busier as the night went on. The best thing is that it is North of South beach so its quitter but still active. My wife had a salad (which was huge) and the famous ceviche which she could not say enough good things about. I went with Fifi's Seafood Paella which they say is for 2 but can be a single portion, excellent! What looked interesting was the fresh catch Hog Snapper. (Check out there web site for the photos) Any way highly recommend. p.s. we went back the next week with friends."
Dined on 3/15/2014
2nd time in Florida (we are from
Germany) and 2nd time there"
Dined on 3/12/2014
First their is no alcohol
available, just wine ( a very short list) and beer so we just had water We had a seafood "mariscada" platter. which was very good, It was supposed to be for 2 people but it is really for one. We also had a salad and again the portion was very very very small. The fish in the mariscada was tilapia which was not very impressive but it tasted good. They gave us a Flan courtesy of the house, why? we don't know but it was very good. it took forever to get the check. However they tried to remove my wife's plate while she was eating. The tip (18%) was included and they have a space in the receipt for TIP so if you don't see that they already took it you will give it twice,"
Dined on 3/11/2014
This Miami Beach restaurant was
recommended by the concierge at the hotel. It has the freshest seafood--the special was a hog snapper grilled on the bone which we shared, tender, delicate and delicious. Tasty salad and appetizers. We had to come back a second time for the stone crab and pradella. You really should visit Fifis. The service was excellent and the servers are accommodating. Delicious!"
Dined on 3/8/2014
visiting Miami, but my friend who
lives here said we must try Fifi's. We weren't disappointed. The seafood is incredible. We split the giant platter, which was plentiful and utterly delish, as was the Ceviche appetizer. We also enjoyed a carafe of white sangria - my only complaint would be that it appears canned fruit cocktail was used as the fruit in sangria. Bit of a thumbs down - at $30 per carafe, I think REAL fruit is in order. But I'd go back here again and again"
Dined on 3/1/2014
Fifi's is a great fresh seafood
restaurant on Collins in North Miami Beach. The service is fast and pleasant. The only drawback is the noise level. It was hard to have a conversation."
Dined on 2/27/2014
I rated the food as poor due to
the fact we never received our food after almost 2 hours. However, the waiter did his best job in apologizing. He did give us 2 complimentary appetizers, but we were very disappointed in never receiving our food. The restaurant was not crowded when we ordered our food, but one hour later it became very busy. The waiter said a large party came in and the kitchen was under staffed - however several tables that were seated after us received their food and left before we were told what was going on. We left after 2 hours giving up hope of ever receiving our food. The food at the other tables looked great. I was really looking forward to trying Fifi's - not sure if I'll return."
Dined on 2/25/2014
A great place for fresh fish and
seafood, at a reasonable price."
Dined on 2/24/2014
Food was great. Service OK. We had
a reservation and had to wait 20 minutes for a table. Once we we're seated we had to wait quite some time for service. Our reservation was for 7:30PM and we left after 10:00PM."
Dined on 2/22/2014
We reserved at Fifi's for Saturday
and by 7:15 there was not a seat in the house. The congested traffic made the sidewalk tables unappealing for us, but the interior was a world of its own, tastefully decorated, with attractive tile, modern artworks, and enjoyably animated sound levels. Women seemed dressed for an evening out, while men, typically, looked more casual. Children adapted to the adult ambience. Service was impersonal, but efficient and knowledgeable. We had the hog snapper filets, a specialty of the house, served incredibly fresh, perfectly grilled, and followed by a delicious, complementary flan for dessert. Prices were reasonable, and we left beaming, back to the restaurant's own parking lot--a major bonus!."
Dined on 2/22/2014
Parillada is always delicious.
Service has been better in the past. Staff could not get orders delivered to the correct table. Server was not attentive & lacked knowledge of basic menu questions."
Dined on 2/22/2014
Have never been disappointed in
Fifi's fish. Not as thrilled with the meat dishes but the name of the restaurant pretty much sums up what to order here."
Dined on 2/19/2014
Waitress didn't understand much of
what I was saying. Not her fault, messed up my order and was still clueless."

Most entrepreneurs are all about tech. Gadgets, gear and advances in technology make you faster, more productive and better performing than ever before in history.
Yet, moving at the speed of today's fast-paced world can have other effects, too. Poor sleep, constant connectivity and other modern-day realities are often the unintended consequences of a rapidly changing world.
While some cultural movements, such as the hipster sipping his artisan whiskey by his vinyl record player or the boho chic woman and her inner-flower-child style, might have seeped back into the popular consciousness, there are some more intriguing, shall we say, "vintage" practices that can enhance your life and skills today as an entrepreneur.
Here are three habits that haven't changed much over centuries that will positively affect you as an entrepreneur today.
Read more: 3 Historical Habits That Improve Modern Entrepreneurs #entrepreneurs #biz
There are few phrases more loaded than "I love you." New research published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology examines who says it first–and how it's received. —Andrea Bartz
The vast majority of study subjects believed that women normally say "I love you" first, near the two month mark. Surprise: In more than 62 percent of relationships, the man said it first.
It's been a little over a year since Apple Computer started creating its own, in-house advertising agency to compete with Media Arts Lab, the unit that award-winning advertising agency TBWA/Chiat/Day had created specifically to serve Apple. "Whilst the Californian tech giants have worked on expanding their 1000 person in-house ad team in an effort to have greater control on their advertising strategies," says UK blog Creativepool in a July 4 post, "it is still actively collaborating with TBWA, even though since April, reports have stated that Apple is trying to distance itself from the agency."
So how are Apple's do-it-yourself advertising efforts working out? According to Ace Metrix research data compiled by Bloomberg, not so hot.
Of eight Apple television commercials tested on consumers, the three that scored most effective came from TBWA/MAL. The lowest-scoring of these scored 611 on the Ace Metrix 900-point scale, while the highest scorer of the in-house spots failed to break 600 and the group as a whole averaged 533.
Don't try this at home
Rob Siltanen, who wrote the copy for Apple's 1997 "Here's to the crazy ones" campaign, quotes an old adage by way of explanation. "There's a truism out there that applies," he says, "'The lawyer who represents himself in court has an idiot for a client.' It's very hard to have the necessary perspective to do the job right."
And perspective is what makes the difference between the TBWA spots and the in-house ones. The former were created from the consumers' perspective, the latter from the perspective of manufacturers who have fallen so in love with their collection of no doubt self-evidently ingenious product features that they're convinced the rest of the world will become instantly and completely enamored too.

Over the past few years, we have seen an explosion of startup activity as the traditional barriers to entry have come down. The ability to raise money no longer determines one's fate. With lowered costs to build and run websites, acquire and retain users, virtually anybody can pick up coding and start a tech company.
At the same time, funding opportunities have expanded for early-stage startups. More money is flowing in from a new crop of angels, newly wealthy from a number of tech IPOs. AngelList makes it easier for founders to reach angels and there are hundreds of accelerators and incubators to choose from. On top of all this, crowdfunding has now become a viable funding option for many start-ups, particularly those hardware projects that have had a tough time getting funding from the VC circles.
But this boom landscape might change soon.
While the top of the funnel has grown with all the angel and early-stage activity, the bottom of the funnel is still roughly the same size (about 10-20 billion-dollar companies per year). We have all heard about the Series A crunch in the Valley (there might actually be up to 2,000 companies in the Series A pipeline right now), and perhaps there's a Series B crunch now too.
Additionally, we need to watch out for two developments on the horizon. First, there will be a consolidation in the accelerator space, with the net effect of reducing the number of available spaces for start-ups. And, we should expect angel activity to drop as new angels discover that returns from their seed investments aren't so easy to come by.
Any entrepreneur trying to navigate the financing landscape should be aware of the over-abundance of angel money compared with subsequent rounds. You need to assess early on if your business is venture-fundable. Is your opportunity at least $100 million? If not, revenue from your customers will be your best source of financing. That's okay: many great companies have been built by bootstrapping.
There's a lot of "easy" early-stage money floating around right now, but don't get fooled into taking seed money if you don't have a viable path for later rounds. It will just be leading you down the wrong track.

When Bill Gates first met Warren Buffett, their host at dinner, Gates' mother, asked everyone around the table to identify what they believed was the single most important factor in their success through life. Gates and Buffett gave the same one-word answer: "Focus." (See more in The Snowball by Alice Schroeder).
I love the clarity of their answer but I am also concerned by how this can be, to quote Rudyard Kipling, "twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools." I am an advocate for focus in work, life and leadership. However, the subject has a nuance and depth that many people miss. For a start, most people think of there only being one kind of focus.

There's a good chance that you've heard a lot of false information about the brain. Some of these ideas have been repeated so many times for so long, they become commonly accepted as fact, even after science has long since disproved it.
Check out this video from AsapSCIENCE that puts the top seven myths about the brain to rest:

NASA's Opportunity rover landed on Mars on January of 2004, and this week, it set a new off-Earth roving distance record, accruing just over 40 kilometers (25 miles) of driving.
"Opportunity has driven farther than any other wheeled vehicle on another world," John Callas of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory says in a news release. "This is so remarkable considering Opportunity was intended to drive about one kilometer and was never designed for distance."
Long before Curiosity arrived on the scene, the rover pair Spirit and Opportunity were cruising on the Red Planet. They were each designed to operate for just 90 sols (or Martian days, about 24 hours and 39.5 minutes long), Ars Technica explains, and they both exceeded that lifespan. Spirit's solar power arrays stopped generating electricity in 2010, and Opportunity is still chugging along after celebrating its 10th anniversary. In this time, this plucky rover has been helping us understand the composition of Mars, even sending back clues of past water activity.
"No one in their wildest dreams thought the rover would last this long," Callas tells the Los Angeles Times. "People made bets early on -- 'Maybe we can get to the first Martian winter,' 'Maybe we can get two years out of it' -- but no one thought that it would last this long."
Driving just 48 meters (157 feet) on July 27, 2014 put Opportunity's total odometry at 40.25 kilometers (25.01 miles). Its route is mapped above. This month's driving brought the rover southward along the western rim of Endeavour Crater; it arrived at this 22-kilometer (14-mile) wide crater in 2011. These sites show evidence of ancient environments with less acidic water than those examined at the rover's landing site, inside the Eagle Crater.

It is always troubling to see how many people are falling victim to unhealthy lifestyle choices (sigh, not me). At times a glimpse of the latest obesity statistics in the headlines has prompted me to send a forward to an afflicted family member, or shoot a quick message to a friend that I know has been slacking at the gym: "Time to step up the cardio or else you're going to look like this, man."
That's why I was shocked to read that recent research confirms a sedentary lifestyle is correlated with higher incidences of not just obesity, but cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer—and basically anything and everything that can slowly kill you, regardless of whether you exercise on a regular basis. In short, compensating for sitting around all day with a one hour high intensity workout at the gym is no defence; all office workers are doomed.
There is Hope: How to Avoid Death by Office Chair
Still in a state of shock, there was only one person I could bring myself to call, Occupational Therapist Matt Gereghty.
Not only does Matt know a thing or two about workplace health and safety but since I had a sinking feeling that the news was going to be bad I needed someone who could give me the prognosis with a side of humor (If you've read Matt's blog, i.e. "Your wrists are like baby squirrels" you'll understand).
Confirmed: Sitting All Day is Killing Us
"The trouble with prolonged sitting," Matt tells me, "is that it puts the majority of our body into sleep mode and while seated, our largest muscles groups (our body's engine) are essentially turned off. This has a profound effect on our energy expenditure and metabolism."
"The fact that we are exposing ourselves to eight hours of low metabolism every day at the office, then one hour for the commute, two hours of television watching, etc. means that over time, our body is going to adapt to these horrible conditions - this is when we start to see health problems like obesity, diabetes, heart disease and even cancer," he added.

Jennifer Polk was a few years into her Ph.D. in history at the University of Toronto when she attended a departmental meeting and heard that 50 per cent of the school's graduates were getting tenure-track professor jobs. "They were patting themselves on the back," she says. "I was sitting there horrified." She realized she needed another plan. Since that meeting several years ago, the number of jobs for academics has fallen further. The chance of becoming a professor is now estimated to be one in four.
Charmaine Grant began her Ph.D. three years ago partly because she couldn't get a full-time job after finishing her M.A. in literature at Ryerson University. "I said to myself, there's no way I can go through another year of this, just sending my CV into cyberspace," she says. "I thought my time would be better spent in school." She was thinking less about whether she would become a professor and more about how exciting it would be to continue her scholarship on black women's hair. Today, still unable to see herself as a professor, she's quit the doctorate and begun a job search.
Both women say that the culture of academia has made the transition from graduate school to work more difficult than it ought to be. "Everyone asks you, inside and outside the academy, 'So are you going to be a professor?' " says Polk, "When you get to the point where you realize maybe this is not for me, you feel like a loser."
A couple of recent studies, The 2013 Canadian Postdoc Survey and Beyond Labs and Libraries: Career Pathways for Doctoral Students, confirm that many graduate students aren't getting the support they need to prepare for non-academic careers.
The Postdoc Survey, a partnership between the Canadian Association of Postdoctoral Scholars and Mitacs (an organization that coordinates industry-university research partnerships, including internships) consulted 1,830 of the estimated 9,000 Ph.D. graduates working as entry-level "postdoctoral researchers" in Canada. They found that their average age was 34 and roughly two-thirds earned less than $45,000 annually, many without benefits. Half reported no exposure to non-academic careers and 87 per cent said they either had no access to career counselling or were uncertain thereof. Nearly seven in 10 said their career goal was to become a professor—despite the odds. While large numbers agreed they wanted training in things like grant or proposal writing and project management, few were getting any. Some of their comments were revealing: one said non-academic careers were seen as "selling out or failing."

We have all had those days. You know, those days where we glance back over our shoulders as it's ending and just sneer. Those days where we shake our heads and wonder to ourselves, "What am I doing?!?" Yes, we all have had these moments of clarity that move from an act of intimate introspection deep down to boiling just below the surface. It can be about anything really: our work, our families, our friends, our environment, our possessions, our habits, fill in the blank... And the sensation can get very uncomfortable as you reach a place that feels like you're going to either experience a personal meltdown or explosion. We have all been there and each of you reading this knows what I'm talking about.
Change happens when the pain of staying the same is greater than the pain of change. ~ Tony Robbins
It is a perfectly natural thing to happen. If these types of visceral moments of self-awareness weren't occasionally happening I would probably be worried, because to me that would indicate that we were either 1) in a perfectly balanced state of being (which I have yet to see in my own experiences of working with individuals), 2) in complete denial and ignoring the growing sense that something needs to be done (thus leading to what could be a pretty painful uncontrolled explosion with major collateral damage), or 3) that we had given up on the idea of growth or personal evolution in any meaningful way (which I find typically leads to an accelerated decline in just about every aspect of life including expectancy).
So, it happens to all of us and we need to be okay with that. Now comes the important point that ultimately is the most critical piece in this analysis: Once we start sensing that "feeling," how do we choose to deal with it? The answer to this question can really determine whether we pivot toward a new and healthy path that ultimately leads to additional learning and positive growth or whether we choose to ignore it and let the pressure build up in us like a package of Jiffy Pop on the stove-top (if you don't know what I'm talking about here, Google it or ask your parents about it...) leading to a spectacular explosion that can have some pretty damaging effects on us and those around who we are connected to and who care about us.
I am definitely not saying I have all of the answers or an ancient map that shows exactly where all of the treasure (or in this case answers) is hidden. I am just trying to point out that the act of being self-aware and listening to that little voice inside of ourselves is key when it comes to change and knowing when we might need to consider some shifts in any number of spaces in our lives.
I know that change isn't easy and that it isn't even something many of us are eager to embrace, but knowing that staying the same often leads to us sacrificing or entirely missing great opportunities in life will hopefully be the catalyst that allows us to be more self-aware and willing to acknowledge that change might be the necessary act to enable us to move on and to start writing the next chapter of our lives.
As always, these thoughts are based on my personal experiences and I would love to hear from anyone that has additional perspectives in the comments. It is our collective experiences and unique perspectives that combine together to make us who we are as a community and I for one am eager to seize that learning experience and capitalize on all that it has to offer.

U.S. corporation Monsanto plans to launch production of genetically modified marijuana, and companies such as Drug Policy Alliance y Open Society Foundation are going to create our own brand, which will be produced under cannabis, information portal La Red 21.
Organization of Open Society Foundation is under the control of the shareholder Monsanto, billionaire George Soros. Company Drug Policy Alliance y Open Society Foundation, funded by Monsanto will be responsible for market development of transgenic seeds of marijuana, particularly in Uruguay.
Uruguay – the first country in the world to officially legalize the production and sale of marijuana. Initiator of the law was the leadership of the State, headed by President Jose Mujica. According to authorities, a guarantee of success in Uruguay marijuana legalization should be state regulation of prices for hemp.

All of us get caught up in the grind of worrying about ourselves, worrying about our jobs, worrying about our money, worrying about our kids, and so forth. With all this attention focused on our own lives and affairs, it's easy to forget that other people are suffering. Unfortunately, it's probably easiest to forget that many people encamped in long-term care facilities are inconvenienced a lot more than we are. Without a doubt, many people who live in nursing homes are treated like chattel. They are deprived of some basic joys of being human—most notably sex.
I was shocked and saddened to read a short article authored by Rebecca Clay and published with the American Psychological Association titled "Sex in long-term care." From this article, I learned that older residents aren't allowed to have sex—and even ridiculed or chastised for asking--by staff. Such staff are particularly insensitive to the needs of LGBT residents who sometimes pretend to be siblings in order to remain in close contact with a lover!

Creating a friend specific search
Hi all, I would like a search function on the members page whereby a user can type the exact name of another member into a search box and it either finds them and offers to send a friend request or says 'no user that matches that name'.
Is there something that already does this, or has someone managed to already?
Thanks very much for the help

The Regional System of District and School Support (RSDSS) is a part of the statewide system of school support that was established to meet state and federal requirements. The support system, working within county offices of education (COEs), offers intensive and sustained assistance to local educational agencies (LEAs) and schools receiving Title I funds to increase the opportunity for all students to meet the state's academic content standards. California uses a regional approach to address the needs of students because of the vast number of schools and districts in the state. This support system delivers and brokers resources to districts and schools in need of improvement.
Purpose of Work
Region 7 is an integral service provider of technical assistance and support to LEAs with schools subject to corrective action; LEAs with high percentages of schools identified as Program Improvement (PI); LEAs with schools identified as in need of improvement; and to other LEAs and schools that need support to reach higher levels of academic achievement in accordance with the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act of 2001.
Regional Demographics
Region 7 consists of six counties located in the San Joaquin Valley of California. Fresno County and Tulare County include the largest urban school districts (Fresno Unified and Visalia Unified); Kings, Madera, and Merced are smaller counties with both suburban and rural settings; Mariposa County is a foothill rural community with schools in sparsely populated areas.
Context of Work
Region 7 provides assistance in the following areas:
- Regional capacity building includes eight regional trainings involving at least one liaison coach from each of the six COEs.
- Regional networks provide differentiated services based on the strengths of each network provider. They establish a network of districts and schools creating a forum for dialogue and research focused on reform to improve student achievement.
- Program improvement services provide Essential Program Components (EPCs) to build district capacity for instructional leadership, on monitoring implementation of EPCs, and on reform for the support of their school.
- Regional orientations, trainings, and meetings are held in collaboration with county offices and regional partners. Region 7 provides outreach to PI LEAs and LEAs with 50 percent or more of their schools identified as PI. Information is provided on accountability requirements, responsibility, and trainings to focus on support of schools in need of improvement.
- Alternative governance conducts professional development for district and school personnel making decisions regarding NCLB mandates specific to the Alternative Governance Board model and alternative governance options. Orientation and training for strategic selection of restructuring and corrective actions for schools in need of improvement and training for potential Alternative Governance Board members are provided.
- Customized services foster a culture of collaboration for all by focusing on significant subgroups of students in need of improvement. Other customized services include but are not limited to:
- District/School Liaison Team training
- Site leadership training
- Effective classroom instruction
- Resource allocation
- Data collection analysis
Contact Information
Region 7 offers technical assistance and support to districts receiving Title I funds through a variety of venues. The Region 7 office is located at the Madera COE, 1820 Howard Road, Madera, CA 93638. Contact Art Davis, Director, by phone at 559-662-3862 or by e-mail at email@example.com. To obtain a complete listing of current and future technical assistance activities, visit the Region 7 RSDSS Web site .

CATEGORIES MoviesBad news for "Lost" fans hoping Sawyer (Josh Holloway) would take over the role of classic TV gumshoe Jim Rockford. Deadline.com reports that Universal Pictures is now developing the '70s series as a big-screen vehicle for funnyman Vince Vaughn.
The original show, which ran from 1974-1980, starred James Garner as an ex-con who solved crimes out of his mobile home in Malibu. After a recent attempt by NBC to reboot it with Dermot Mulroney in the lead fizzled (According to Vulture "The pilot [was] so bad that it seemed like a crime."), Holloway's name came up as a viable replacement.
It's not clear whether Vaughn's version of "The Rockford Files" would go the jokey, tongue-in-cheek route of other '70s-shows-turned-movies like "Starsky and Hutch," or strive to be a straightforward crime drama that happens to have a clever wisecracking lead, like the original series.
David Levien and Brian Koppelman have been hired to write the script and Vince and Victoria Vaughn will produce through their Universal-based Wild West Picture Show Productions banner.
You can read more about "The Rockford Files" reboot over on Deadline.

4reals...McDonald's shouldn't have been responsible for that goofy woman's medical bills. SHE was the one who drove off with hot coffee between her legs. She was the one who caused her injuries. The lawyers eyeballs clicked when they realized how much they stood to gain. Juries are notoriously generous with corporation's money.November 8, 2010 at 7:45 a.m.
I agree with the VICAD that this "Federal lawsuit against truck maker is frivolous." The sad part here is that the VICAD knows this and yet continues to make this a news story in their paper. Another article they can add to their "Fatal Funnel."
Enough is enough already. When is the last time the VICAD did a stor on 911 that was even a bigger and much more tragic loss that had long lasting effects even up to today.November 8, 2010 at 7:33 a.m.
I can understand that some people need someone to pay for losing a loved one, but based on the merits of this case, I too think that it is a frivolous one.November 8, 2010 at 6:12 a.m.
Wayward: The McDonalds case wasn't anything more than a customer out to recoup medical expenses. McD's was unwilling and it went to trial. The result was the multi-million dollar payout. Obviously you are shooting from the hip. Educate yourself before you spew your hate.
I keep waiting for the posting from a lawyer. I want desperately to hear how this "noble profession" judges this lawsuit and how it stacks up alongsided other famous lawsuits such as the McDonald's coffee suit which resulted in millions of dollars to the lawyers and about twelve dollars and eighty-three cents to the goofy woman who spilled hot coffee in her lap while driving.
How about the lawsuit brought by family members of victims of the Columbine shooting spree who sued video game makers?
One of the best (and right up there with this suit) is the guy who sued a hospital because their security was so lax that he wasn't prevented from raping a patient. He felt badly afterward.
LAWYERS filed all these cases. Noble profession, indeed.November 7, 2010 at 7:27 p.m.
This lawsuit is well beyond frivolous. It is a despicable example of ambulance chasers abusing the judicial system.November 7, 2010 at 4:13 p.m.
Frivilous is a really nice word for this fiasco.
It is stuff like this that is allowed in US Courts that cost business exhorbitant amounts of money to defend.
What would the countries these folks came from do?
It is regretable these people lost their lives.November 6, 2010 at 1:50 p.m.
It would have been cheaper and safer to go the legal route - wouldn't it?
As a former 18-wheel truck driver, I completely agree with the argument that this lawsuit is frivolous. The truck-trailer owners' and drivers' secondary responsibility (after public safety) is the security of the shippers' cargo in the trailer. Transporting human cargo was never part of my job -- other than one load of refrigerated cadavers for a medical research facility.
For 8 years, most every shipper I dealt with insisted that my trailer be locked and sealed from the outside -- clearly visible to the shipper, receiver, and all Department of Transportation and International Customs Agents in between. Reconfiguring hundreds of thousands of trailers currently in use and retooling the present manufacturing processes to incorporate an inside opening mechanism would be a logistical nightmare and would compromise the integrity currently expected of trailers.November 6, 2010 at 8:19 a.m.
this is simply attorneys fishing for dollars.
figure in the 'go between' man here too, the person between the families and the lawyers.
lot of $$$ for grabs out there for lawyers.November 5, 2010 at 11:30 p.m.

Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - Scottie Reynolds scored 27 points to lead fourth-ranked Villanova to an 82-77 victory over No. 11 Georgetown at the Wachovia Center.
Reynolds hit the go-ahead basket in the final minutes and added four big free throws down the stretch for Villanova (16-1, 5-0 Big East), which blew all of a 17-point lead before going on to its seventh straight win since a loss to Temple on December 13.
Maalik Wayns also hit four free throws in the closing seconds and finished with 11 points for the Wildcats, who are off to their best start since the 1963-64 team opened 17-1.
Greg Monroe scored a career-high 29 points and grabbed 16 rebounds for Georgetown (13-3, 4-2), which had a two-game win streak stopped. The Hoyas nearly pulled off their second monstrous comeback in eight days, as last Saturday they rallied from 19 points down to stun Connecticut, 72-69.

Injury Reports:
Denver Broncos:
Eric Decker-shoulder-probable
Joel Dreessen- knee- out
Wes Welker- ankle- probable
New York Giants:
Da'Rel Scott- knee- probable
The Broncos:
I'm going to go out on a limb and say Peyton Manning won't throw seven scores this week. He will throw four though and add another 330 yards in the Manning bowl.
I don't want anything to do with the running game, so I'll move to the receivers.
Demaryius Thomas will top 100 yards and score, 82 yards and a touchdown sounds about right for Wes Welker and 78 and a score for Eric Decker. Tight end Julius Thomas will come back to earth a bit with 50 receiving yards.
While kicker Matt Prater should be in your lineup, I stay away from Orange Crush this week.
The Giants:
Eli channeled his inner Peyton in the second half on Sunday nightand will finish with a stat line that looks earily like his brothers. He'll take advantage of a Champ Bailey less secondary with a 330 yard three score game.
David Wilson hopes to avoid fumblegate and will produce. 130 combo yards and a score.
I like Victor Cruz and Hakeem Nicks to score with Cruz eclipsing the 100 yard receiving mark.
Playing both kicker Josh Broan and the defense is dangerous at best.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- France's freshly inaugurated Socialist president, Francois Hollande (frahn-SWAH' oh-LAWND'), visits the White House on Friday and plans to announce an early pullout of all French troops from Afghanistan by year's end.
That could infuriate NATO allies and embarrass President Barack Obama and may be logistically impossible.
Hollande's predecessor, Nicolas Sarkozy (sar-koh-ZEE'), worked to improve relations with the United States.
Hollande, who has little international experience, likely will face anger at a NATO summit in Chicago over his plans to pull France's 3,300 troops out of Afghanistan two years ahead of schedule.
And he will have to convince partners at the Group of Eight summit at Obama's presidential retreat, Camp David, that his stance on a European anti-austerity treaty won't send the region deeper into debt crisis.

Teams really, really, really want stability in their bullpens. They're willing to overpay completely for dependably average. The problem, though, is that relievers are impossible to predict -- living, breathing spectrums of success and failure, often in the same month.
Sometimes, they're unpredictable in all the right ways. Take Mike Adams, the setup man for the San Diego Padres. No, seriously, take him: I'm tired of watching him strike out the side when he pitches against the Giants. For a few minutes in 2005, Adams was actually the closer for the Milwaukee Brewers before he was sent down to AAA Nashville. In 2006, Adams kicked around the AAA affiliates of four different teams, finishing the year with a pedestrian K/BB ratio of 48/22 in 59 relief innings. Then he was hurt, missing all of 2007. He somehow found his way to the Padres' organization in 2008, and posted a 5.52 ERA in 12 AAA games.
Maybe throw in an epitaph about a stint with the Chico Outlaws, and that's how the story usually ends. Adams's recovery, though, was amazing (check out the documentary about it when you get a chance). He was called up despite his struggles in the Pacific Coast League, becoming a solid bullpen regular for the Padres that season.
And then he became a freak.
Since he gave up a three-run home run to Bengie Molina in 2008, he's been one of the best pitchers of the game, with a 1.35 ERA over 133 innings. Over his last three seasons, he's posted ERAs of 0.73 and 1.76, with a 0.75 ERA so far this season. Now, it's worth noting that ERA is an imperfect metric, and he does play in Petco National Park, but those are still numbers to gawk at. His 0.73 ERA in 2009 is in some pretty heady and amusing company for a partial season.
The most impressive factoid might be his .156/.216/.215 opponent's line over the past three seasons -- he's turned every hitter he faced into Adam Eaton.
And it all comes back to this: Anyone could have had him. He was kicking around baseball's dustbin while teams were throwing multi-year deals to average relievers. The first scout, pitching coach, or sabermetrician to figure out what turns a pitcher like Mike Adams into MIKE ADAMS, eighth-inning Dennis Eckersley, will make a lot of money for someone. Until then, Adams will just have to settle for being the pitcher with the highest gap between real and fantasy baseball value.

BROCKTON, Mass. (AP) — The trial of a Brockton man charged with two racially motivated killings who once showed up in court with a swastika carved into his forehead is scheduled to start.
Jury selection in the trial of Keith Luke is slated to get started Tuesday in Brockton Superior Court.
Prosecutors say the 26-year-old Luke fatally shot two people in Brockton and wounded a third in January 2009. The victims were of Cape Verdean descent. He allegedly told police he was on a mission to kill "nonwhites."
He faces various charges including two counts of murder.
He's been held without bail since pleading not guilty.
His lawyer tells The Enterprise of Brockton (http://bit.ly/10ltZTK ) he's ready for trial after repeated delays. Attorney Joseph Krowski Jr. has indicated he may pursue an insanity defense.
