- Summary: Nate Cooper has been smitten with Cristabel Abbot since he first laid eyes on her at the impressionable age of six. But before he could try and snuggle up to her at nap time, or maybe send her a valentine, his family moved away. In the intervening years there have been other women in Nate's life, but none who could measure up to Cristabel. Convinced she's the only girl for him, Nate decides to move back to L.A. and track her down. The good news: she's still single and stunning. The bad news: there's a reason she's still single. Cristabel's still best friends with the same ugly little girl Nate remembers from first grade, June Phigg. The two are inseparable. They live together. They go to yoga together. They would even go on double dates together...if only June could get a date. And Cristabel simply refuses to leave dear June home alone. Determined to spend as much time as possible with Cristabel, Nate sets out to find a boyfriend for June. But even when he pays them, guys all flee at the sight of her. And then it hits him: June needs a makeover. But as Nate and June become friends and she emerges from her cocoon, Nate slowly realizes that the girl of his dreams isn't the hottie at all. It's the nottie -- who turns out to be something of a hottie herself. (Regent Releasing)… Expand

The Farrelly brothers could burp out a movie funnier than The Hottie & the Nottie, a farce of corrupt stereotypes that's never more grotesque than when it pretends to be more than skin-deep.
Like Nate, we are mere Notties. And we are supposed to feel oh-so privileged for getting to watch Paris through the glass.
Great actors make the craft look easy. In the Paris Hilton comedy The Hottie and the Nottie, acting looks very, very difficult.
How is Paris Hilton in her first starring role to receive a national release? Pretty bad, actually. She's limited to a single, all-too-familiar expression of smug self-satisfaction, and she delivers her lines in a tone somewhere between "seductive" and "dish-soap commercial."
Crass, shrill, disingenuous, tawdry, mean-spirited, vulgar, idiotic, boring, slapdash, half-assed, and very, very unfunny.
The most astounding thing about this abysmal comedy -- aside from the fact the studio actually allowed critics within a mile of it -- is that it's so ghastly it is beneath even the meager dignity of Paris Hilton.

Aug 28, 2012Most underrated movie of the decade. Haters are out in force to get this one, Paris is a very accomplished actor and so is Ashton Kutcher, and together they make a very funny, deep, emotional, thought provoking movie. One I keep coming back to over and over and always find myself enjoying it. Would recommend to everybody.… Collapse

Dec 22, 2010This film easily fits into the "worst of all times" category... ah. It was almost painful to watch. You know the feeling when a film is so bad that you cannot even laugh at it anymore? It is so horrid that it is not even funny, just straight-out horrible? Well, that is "The Hottie & the Nottie". And that's just the storyline. Paris Hilton - my oh my.

Sunrise, Fla. — The second-guessing regarding last night's decision to substitute Seth Petruzelli in place of a medically disqualified Ken Shamrock in the main event of EliteXC and CBS' "Saturday Night Fights" has already begun.
The main question being raised is why did Kimbo accept the fight considering there was little upside?
Well, I believe there was an upside for Team Kimbo and it was likely financial. While speaking with sources at the post-fight press conference for the event, they indicated to FiveOuncesOfPain.com that Slice received a "substantial" increase over the guarantee he was scheduled to make vs. Shamrock.
For a guy who used to fight unknowns in backyards for only a few thousand dollars, accepting a fight vs. Petruzelli probably made a lot more sense once EliteXC made him a financial offer he likely couldn't refuse.
Sources indicated to Five Ounces of Pain that Kimbo's camp initially refused to accept a bout vs. any opponent other than Shamrock before accepting the Petruzelli deal. Whether his management was legitimately concerned is uncertain, but you'd have to be a fool to say "Sure, we'll take the fight" right off the bat and kill your negotiation leverage. Kimbo's team got the best offer they could for their fighter.
You can look at it from a manager's perspective and rationalize that it was a mistake because Kimbo didn't prepare for Petruzelli and that Petruzelli wasn't an established fighter, thus bringing little reward in exchange for assuming a high risk. From that perspective, it's hard to argue to taking last night's fight was a bad decision in hindsight. But that's also a myopic viewpoint.
There's another perspective to consider and that is the one of the fighter.
Kimbo is 34 with multiple children. Because of his late start in MMA, his shelf-life as a professional athlete is limited compared to others. He only has so long to make so much money. The goal is to garner big paydays and if EliteXC offered him a compensation package that he was already working towards, why not take it now as opposed to later?
Slice likely found himself in an all or nothing situation: either accept the higher offer or risk coming home with nothing. While I am sure EliteXC would have compensated him for his time to some extent, I seriously doubt that they would have paid him a full purse for not fighting.
It also be overlooked that Kimbo is also a fighter who has repeatedly stated that he's never turned down a fight and that he'll fight anyone, anywhere. When you talk the talk, you're going to need to walk-the-walk.
Ego and pride also come into play. A manager's job is to protect their fighter but there is a fine line that needs to be walked. If you tell your fighter not to take a fight on short notice because it's too dangerous, you run the risk of your fighter feeling insulted because of a perception that you don't believe in their ability.
And let's be honest, Petruzelli is no world beater at this point. It's not like he accepted a fight vs. a former Muay Thai champion or jiu-jitsu black belt. At this stage of the game, Slice should be taking on fighters of Petruzelli's caliber. Granted, it's better to have more notice so that you have proper time to prepare, but Petruzelli was also at the same disadvantage.
The fact that Kimbo was also fighting in his backyard cannot be overlooked. Many friends and family were in attendance and wanted to see him fight. There's a chance he felt a sense of duty to go out there and put his best foot forward in light of the bad situation since another option had been presented to him.
Was last night's decision the right call for Kimbo? It depends on what perspective you're looking at if from.
the problem is that seth is a real fighter that is not in his 40s and way past his prime. Kimbo is just another fighter trying learm mma but has had a tremendous amount pressure put on him becouse of the srteet fights seen on the net. but really pretty much any pro fighter could have beaten those guys.apparently the brains at elite xc didnt realize that.

He had to take the fight. It was a game of financial chicken between Kimbo's management and EliteXC/CBS. EliteXc is in financial trouble. Successful ratings for CBS' "Saturday Night Fights" ratings have always been driven by Kimbo's fights.
Another ratings failure could spell the end of Saturday Night Fights and EliteXc. If they fail, Kimbo's income is also gone. If Kimbo lost, his career is …..

sam i really enjoy your website and everything you write but on this one theres really nothing to write about. he gopt knocked out with a "phantom punch" in 14 seconds. i mean cmon man " 14 SECONDS". i cant buy the arguements of not havin enough time to train for this opponent and all that jazz. if the fight had gone on for a while and been a lil back and forth where you can actually see how each guy working one another then ok the arguement applys. 14 SECONDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NO EXCUSES. im not gonna get into mistakes from elite xc and all that. just looking at the fight. ok it wasnt a fight.all i ask myself is , was kimbo really that bad? i mean during the day earlier the hurricanes lost to fl st at home,great game,canes showed heart all game. get it ,ALL GAME!!!!!!!!. point being kimbo was fighting at home in front of friends and family and every wannabe yahoo who thought this guy was something.and what happens? he gets freakin whacked in 14 SECONDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!. as far as being a monumental mma letdown and all that elite xc claimed it to be(the announcing team is a whole other story), who cares? think about what it does to him. i mean this was his superbowl in his backyard and poof , 14 SECONDS later it all goes away.

anyone see Jared Shaw last night? – - I hate to talk ill of people – but this guy is an absolute joke. I understand that his "cash cow" got beat – but who isn;t going to watch Kimbo for his "comeback fight" or whatever they market it as. The Arlovski fight went off well – and (I'm assuming) we'll see some more cross-promotion happening – and iof that happens we are in store for some great matchups – it's time for EXC to market actual good fighters (shields, winner of diaz/alvarez, etc.)
Agree or Disagree: 0 0
Fist off, I agree that the pressure to fight was more than likely financial.
What I don't understand is why there is so much hate for Kimbo? He is just another guy that was given an opportunity to make "Real" money from fighting legitimately.
Do they hate him because he is old? or thuggish? The way I see it, it was the internet voyeur's lust for violence that made Kimbo. Kimbo decided to legitimately train, become a real fighter. He is learning the "Art" of MMA. He is respecting everyone that fights and trains just as any other true MMA artist should do. The pros
hate him because of the opportunities that they are not getting or didn't have the luck of having? Its not like he planned it this way, someone offered him money to fight and he capitalized on it. This is exactly the same thing that anyone of us would do. Kimbo now trains with a legend of the sport getting the right training and management to enter into this sport in the correct fashion. If training with the right people isn't the way then maybe we should all just go back to streets and fight. Lets see how we'll get paid then.

Ya know, it was an entertaining event, free too for those of us watching it at home. We got to see some good fights. The Kimbo vs Shamrock fight was a circus act from the beginning, so that fight was always going to create controversy. With the turn of events last night the controversy continues. I'm sure Kimbo and Seth both got nice checks to fight, they may have fought with or without any financial boosts, but I would think that the money thrown around to save the night would make any of us step up.

Dave Meltzer reported that was the holdout, but Honestly Sam, they should of just went with Frank Shamrock or Arlovski, who said he was prepared to step in if they needed him. I mean when Petruzelli was announced as Slice opponent, the Vegas odds quickly changed and Kimbo was a heavy underdog. He was in a no win situation no matter what. If he was going to lose, it would of been better to lose to one of those guys and be able to spin it well, these guys have over such and such fights in their careers, their former UFC champs, Kimbo is on his 5th professional fight (if you count Mercer). In my opinion that looks better than losing to a guy that was not able to make it in UFC.
Agree or Disagree: 0 0
I think putting him up against Arlovski (win or lose) would have been good except for:
Arlovski = Affliction, and Kimbo losing to him would lower EXC even further for casual fans and even further legitimize EXC. Wouldn't have been a smart business move to be honest, that's how I see it.

After last night,I LOVES me some Elite XC.
Great card overall.
I don't think we've seen the last of Kimbo.
Ideally they'll just put him further down on the card,in a more legit spot.
I still think Kenny's cut was a botched blade job,designed to stop the fight via cut,so Kenny could get a payday and a rematch.
Can your sources find out exactly how many chillens Kimbo has?

"I mean when Petruzelli was announced as Slice opponent, the Vegas odds quickly changed and Kimbo was a heavy underdog.
This is incorrect. Kimbo was a -350′ish favorite against Shamrock and it had jumped up too around -500 at most sport books when it was switched to Seth. I got in on Petruzelli at +375. Made a great payday.

AA was not a real option as it would have required Elite picking up the tab for him and Nelson (Nelson would still have gotten paid even if his fight is pulled) and that is something they simply can't afford. AA's pay was reportedly seven figures.
Frank Shamrock was not an option because
A) He would have had to weigh at least 206
B) He was not licensed in Florida.

Well, at least Kimbo wasn't afraid to take the call, that's for sure. Besides, he's not a top 10 fighter atm, so any fights count for him now and I don't see him declinining a fight because of a "no name" proposition. He's just not there yet and heck knows when he will be…
Agree or Disagree: 0 0
the big question is not "why did he take the fight".. Of course he was going to fight. They could not just cancel him regardless of what else happened. Had Kimbo been forced to withdraw instead of Ken S. they would have simply canceled it that's all. The Continuing Story of Kimbo was the draw..
The real question that no one is talking about is… why did Kimbo bull-rush a guy he knows nothing about. Maybe he was afraid of him, afraid to get taken down? It's someone you know nothing about. Why not feel things out a bit?
Anyhow Kimbo is not done by a longshot. He'll get a few more kicks at the can for sure. Maybe this is good.. takes the pressure off. Perhaps he'll get a chance to develop a bit.. but a workable ground game is not something that you develop overnight or even in a year or two.. just ask Houston Alexander.

Getting knocked out in 14 seconds is a lot better than getting your ass beat for 15 minutes. He really was not exposed as bad as he would have been if he got beat up for a long time. Everyone gets caught. He could still make plenty of money for EliteXC if he whoops someones ass.

"Getting knocked out in 14 seconds is a lot better than getting your ass beat for 15 minutes. "
Dude, you're delusional. Getting ko'd by a jab from some skinny white kid is a lot more embarrassing than being in a 15 minute fight and losing a decision. He didn't get caught from from some crazy haymaker, he got ko'd from a jab.

Arlovski fight went over well? The ref let him stand up out of a very very bad position for him. He was in trouble on the ground he was side mounted, and Roy was throwing kimura attempts at him, and I don't think Andrei could have gotten up until the round was over if he made it that long. The crowd booed because they didn't want to watch Roy's beautiful guard pass, etc., the ref didn't know what he was doing and didn't want the crowd to boo. HE HAD A VERY VERY GOOD CHANCE OF SUBMITTING HIM. Nelson is a bad ass on the ground. Ridiculous

I'm guessing Ken didn't get paid (or at least not his full purse), so there should have been some money there for the 2 guys in the main event. Not sure if that would have been enough though.

Kimbo is not an MMA fighter but a thug. Over the hill Bas Ruten found a circus act and is cashing in. I dont blame him. Shamrock is past his prime.Any young well trained MMA fighter could beat either one IMO.

To me, Kimbo is and has been a complete overhyped joke. CBS and EliteXC need to stop selling this guy as an "MMA" fighter becuase he has NO MMA skills at all. NOW we know, that he can't take a punch either. Come on Sam and the rest of you who are making excuses for this fraud, Seth Petruzelli weighed in at 205 and Kimbo was 234, thats a Light Heaveyweight knocking out a true Heaveyweight.
I wanted to puke when heard (I think it was Gus Johnson) say, you have just witnessed the greatest upset in the history of MMA.
Kimbo = FRAUD…

Last night Yahoo's front page had a picture of Kimbo with the headline: Kimbo exposed as farce. It's still up there but you have to click the sports tab to see it. Last night I'm talking type in yahoo.com in your browser and that'll show up immediately.
What is crazy is that it's NOT an Iole column…

people keep talking shit about kimbo- a single father of like 151 kids. he's trying to make a living to support his family so ease up off him. not only that, but these people saying he cant take a punch? how about u go fight him u pussies. staying behind a screen and talking like that is simple since you dont even train. Anyone can get dropped as long as they get hit in the right spot. So for the haters who know nothing, go back to eating chips on your couch or start getting some education on MMA.

Hey Joe, are you kidding me, If I wasn't 50 years old and weighing in at 165 LBS I would fight that guy. Before you spew venom towards those that trash KimBLOW, you better understand what your are talking about. Whether you like it or not, KimBLOW has NO, NONE, ZERO, MMA skills. He is a brawler and nothing more. Who cares if Petruzelli was a late add, KimBLOW outweighed him by 30 lbs and KimBLOW did what he would've done no matter who was across the cage from him. Charge and throw haymakers. I guess that qualifies him as an MMA sensation. He is bad for the sport, period. He is what the UFC use to be, a brawler.
Guys like KimBLOW and Houston Alexander need to get some skills before they should be recognized and passed off as MMA fighters.
If I wanted to watch a brawler who just wants to throw punches I would watch boxing.
As for his 151 kids, he should learn how to slip a rubber on, they work.

Tim besides you're annoying overuse of the stupid nickname of KimBLOW over and over again i think maybe you have a problem with black people why else are you throwing Houston Alexander in this or bringing up Kimbo's children.

Hey Robert…. Nice try guy, my wife is African America and just laughed when I told her what you said.
I put Houston Alexander in my post because Sam also had an article on why its too early to give up on Houston Alexander that I had numerous responses to.
I love MMA and train even at my age, so when I see guys passed off as "MMA fighters" that really have no MMA skills, I take offense to that.
Kimbo (that make ya feel better) is a product of CBS and EliteXC, its not his fault but that doesn't change the fact that he has no MMA skils..

First off I would like to respond to the UFC nazis out there, people like AJ. UFC is a company not another way of saying Mixed Martial Arts. MMA fighters are pretty much free to go to what ever company they want to. Granted the UFC is a house-hold name, because, (as much of a toolbag Dana White is) he is a good bussiness man. He knows who would draw a crowd without belittling the sport. Also, AJ your comment about making more money at UFC is bullshit Dana has his few ass buddies like Chuck Liddell and Matt Hughes that he lets do some marketing, but other than that when a fighter signs to UFC they get paid the least out of every orginazation out there and sign over their own marketing rights. So, if the fighters get paid less why would they go to UFC?, one might ask. Well as mentioned earlier, UFC is a house-hold name. Unless you are an MMA fan you would have no Idea about some of the other orginazations. So therefor sign with the most known one, TO GET KNOWN AS A FIGHTER. Look at any MMA website or mag and see who the top ten rankings are for heavyweights, I just looked on this one and at least 6 out of 10 (that's the majority if you did not know) are not with the UFC. The best fighters are spread out dude you need to look around you, see those six walls that's what we can a box, you need to come out every once in a while. Also just a question back in the day if you watched Wrestling if you were a Hogan fan did you not watch him when he went to WCW, or If Tyson fights were one HBO, Showtime, and Cinemax would you only watch the ones on HBO, no you would watch, because you were a fan. Hopefully that last question will sink into some of the UFC nazi's heads. UFC is a company not the sport alone. Now as far as the whole Elite xc and Kimbo thing goes, My thoughts are this: Shaw saw $$$$$$$ with marketing(exploiting) Kimbo, and Kimbo saw $$$$$$$$$$ for doing what he loves to do. Honestly I think Kimbo is not ready for the sport yet, but he is getting old and not every one can be Randy Couture. I don't think we've seen the last of Kimbo, as mentioned on this site. Who doesn't want to see him in a comeback fight. Also I just have to mention I can't wait for the Gina vs Cyborg fight. Finally (no offence to anyone) The cheerleader will beat up the bulldyke.

Joe pretty much nailed it. You're a sad example for a 50 year old. And surely you can submit him if you're "MMA skills" are so superior to his.

Forst pussies and now calling me an IDIOT ?? Why the names guys, I am just stating what I think, my opinion, thats all. That doesn't make me an idot, far from it.
Kimbo got over a 1/2 million dollars for that fight, thats a crime !! All the people who paid to watch the fight and the advertisers that sponsored it should sue.
I'm a sad example of a 50 year old, why is that ? Because I state my opinion ?
Grow up, this is a forum where people state what they think and share what they think, to come out here and call people pussies, idiots or UFC nazi's is childish, very immature. You all can say what you think without the name calling but I guess that makes you a tough call when all call others names. I guess you showed me a thing or two. You guys are as big a joke as Kimbo is.

Hey Big poppa.. I agree with you on the heaveyweight division, the UFC is not as strong with its stable of fighters in that division. But they pretty much dominate all the other weight classes, wouldn't you say ?
I do think the UFC has one of the best up and coming heaveyweights in Cain Velazquez, the guy is GOOD.
As much as I think you may hate this comment, to alot of people the UFC and MMA are one in the same. I have said MMA to guys and they say what is that, when I explain it they say, or you mean Ultimate Fighting. LOL

joe are you on crack? pulling out the race card over this? telling people who say Kimbo is a bum that they have no clue what they are talking about? WTF? Kimbo got dropped by a half-jab, that was completely telegraphed!!! Whats even worse is the fact that the jab was thrown off of Seth's back foot while his front foot was in the air!!!!!!! How long did you think it would take before someone dropped Kimbo with his fighting style like that? All he does is bum rush and throw power punches. He's a circus sideshow attraction that is only around because the company is clutching at straws trying to appeal to the "casual" mixed martial arts viewer. Hes a disgrace to the business and he should stick to fighting homeless guys on the streets for ham sandwiches!!! Kimbo being black has nothing to do with him sucking…he does that on his abilities(or lack thereof). Please understand what you are talking about before you open your mouth!!

Murder and a Movie: The Jeffrey Lamb Case
A Date with Death
A 911 call came late in the day on June 15, 2004, sending the Palm Beach County Police to Silver Beach Road in Lake Park, the home of Jeffrey Lamb. Lamb had been the caller, claiming through tears that his wife Cathy had been murdered. He'd come home from his job as a tow truck driver and found her on the kitchen floor, apparently bludgeoned to death. He stated that when he had tried to find a pulse, she had been unresponsive.
Emergency personnel found Lamb hysterical and hyperventilating, crying over his wife's body. There were bruises on both her face and head, and part of her brain protruded through a vicious fracture in her skull. They were unable to detect any sign of life, so they transported Cathy to a hospital, where she was pronounced dead. An autopsy was ordered, and her body went to the morgue for further examination.
Although Lamb, 31, said he thought the house had been burglarized, the fierce bludgeoning of Cathy raised red flags. Someone intending burglary does not typically beat a homeowner so viciously. The police wanted to eliminate possible enemies who might have staged a false burglary to cover the murder. The place had been ransacked, certainly, and it appeared that items had been taken. In fact, Lamb told them, his wife had a pair of diamond earrings, one of which was missing.
There was no apparent murder weapon on the scene, but Lamb had blood on his pants. He had an explanation: When he found Cathy, he'd tried to help her, getting blood on his thumb, which he'd wiped off on his pants. As a routine precaution, detectives requested his clothing.
But there was another odd aspect to the crime: Police noticed that whoever had killed Cathy had also clobbered two of three dogs in the home. One was a mixed-breed pit bull, the other a German shepherd — guard dogs. Both had been beaten badly in the head, but had survived. Closed into a bedroom, the third dog, which belonged to Jeffrey Lamb, was unharmed. He said that when he came home, the dogs had seemed spooked and refused to come near him.
Police were familiar with one of the dogs, because they'd been called into a neighborhood incident in which the dog bit someone. Detectives believed one of these dogs might have bitten the intruder, which meant they might get DNA from inside their mouths. A crime scene processor carefully took swabs for testing. Then it was time to ask Lamb more questions.

According to her booking report, officers were assigned to the store where they met with loss prevention officers. They told TPD that Jones had "conspired with [an] associate to defraud Walmart of $633.37 worth of merchandise.
Jones reportedly only legitimately paid $73.82 of the total amount through the self-checkout lane.
Officers placed her under custody following their discussion with the Walmart officials. She was taken to the Tulsa County Jail on $2,000 bond.

Building Design
Province responds to calls for better design with plans for a 'policing' department and design champion. The Northern Ireland Executive is launching a major initiative to improve the quality of architecture in the province amid continuing criticism of the quality of its building design. The executive has responded by unveiling plans to appoint a "high-profile†design champion to head a new department that will be modelled on Cabe. The move comes after criticism of architectural standards in the province, most recently by the Lord Mayor of Belfast, Tom Ekin, who claimed there was a culture of pushing through new development regardless of appearance or context.

LEXINGTON, KY (WAVE) - Two sisters are hit by a car while walking home from buying school supplies.
Around 3:30 Thursday morning, two girls were walking home on US-27 in Lexington. They didn't have time to get out of the way of the car and were both hit from behind.
Chantelle Napier, 12, had broken bones and a collapsed lung. Her sister, 20-year-old Chelsea broke her legs.
Police said it appears the driver fell asleep behind the wheel. Apparently he had just gotten off work and veered off the edge of the road when he fell asleep.
The girls are now at UK hospital.

Foul fines for dog owners breaking by-laws
A dog owner has been fined £450 for failing to clean up after his pet, while another was charged £130 for walking her collie in a dog free zone.
Both cases were brought before magistrates by Brighton & Hove City Council.
Anthony Gallagher of Windlesham Road, Brighton, was fined £100 and ordered to pay £350 costs after failing to clear up after his pet after it fouled in the street.
He was reported by a member of the public after the incident in Goldsmid Road.
Beverley Dunn of Brunswick Street East, Hove, was fined £80 and ordered to pay £50 costs after walking her pet in the "no dog" area of residential Brunswick Square Gardens.
– Cllr Pete West, Brighton and Hove City Council
Most dog owners are very responsible in respecting by-laws and the need to control and clean up after their pets in public places.
"So, it is disappointing when we find it necessary to expend scarce council resources on pursuing fines. We hope the results of these cases will encourage all dog owners and walkers to be more considerate."

Cross country competes at A-Sun Championships Saturday
The JU women's and men's cross country programs will look to achieve their overall team goals Saturday when they race in the A-Sun Championships Saturday in Fort Myers, Fla.
The Dolphin women will trot out a veteran squad which looks to improve on their fifth place finish during last year's meet.
"Quality individual performances will lead to a quality team result," JU head coach Ron Grigg said. "Saturday morning will be full of opportunity for our team of veterans."
Leading the group of six seniors for JU is A-Sun preseason Runner of the Year, Joane Pierre. The Immokalee, Fla., native has earned all-conference honors at the meet every season, including placing fourth (17:51.00) in the 2011 championships.
Pierre has paced the Dolphins in the last two meets to consecutive A-Sun Runner of the Week accolades. Her time of 21:10.8 (2nd) at the FSU Invitational (10/5) broke the JU program 6k record.
Junior Svenja Meyer will to better her time of 18:10.70 in the 2011 championship that netted her second team all-conference honors. Meyer has finished fifth and sixth, respectively, in JU's last two meets.
Other A-Sun championship veterans for JU include seniors Amalia Vogler, Bienna Freeman, Morgan Keel and Alicia Gard-Kaminkow and sophomore Sarah Bailey. Junior LaTonya Payne will be running in the conference meet for the first time.
The JU men will continue to rely on its freshmen in Nick Dale, Andrew Merrill, Will Tirado, James Trebilcock and Ryan Wagner.
"It has been a lot of fun working with five freshmen this year and watching them develop," Grigg said "We know they are ready for their best performance of the year."
Dale has led the Dolphins all season, including running a 28:08.95 at the UCF Attack Challenge Oct. 12. Merrill has been JU's second highest finisher in every race and ran a 29:19.92 in the last meet.

Some heart of Illinois residents received some startling news on the cohesiveness of the area economy Thursday.
The Tri-county Regional Planning Commission teamed up with "VITAL Economy Alliance" to help determine how to establish a stronger regional collaboration. The goal of the project is to have all of the communities in Peoria, Tazewell and Woodford counties working together toward a stronger overall economy.
The preliminary report found the Tri-county area is currently below average in nearly every category, but there is potential for improvement.
"The three weeks have taught us that there is a huge common interest, and a common recognition of what the problems are, and what the opportunity is," Frank Knott, VITAL Economy Alliance said. "That is something you don't often see, across the public and private sector."
A final report is due April 13. After that, "VITAL" will give formal suggestions to the Tri-county Regional Planning Commission on how to achieve better regional collaboration.

Call to lower planned rise in council rent
11:00am Monday 11th February 2013 in News
COUNCIL house rents must not go up by 4.63 per cent, an opposition councillor has said.
Oxford City Council's Green Party has urged the Labour-run authority to drop the increase, which would put an average annual rent up by £96.83. Green leader David Williams said the council was using an "old and costly" formula to calculate rents that it now has the power to drop.
The council is to set rents on September's retail price index (RPI) rate of inflation, 2.6 per cent, plus 0.5 per cent and a further £2.
He said the authority has a "healthy" pot of rent cash – an expected £5.7m by March 31 – and rents should go up by 2.6 per cent.
But deputy leader Ed Turner said the increase is needed to help pay back £200m it borrowed to buy its 7,819 homes, meaning it no longer has to hand half its rent cash to the Government. He said there is no alternative.

Security chains foil burglars in Laindon
10:25am Monday 28th April 2014 in News By Carri-Ann Taylor, Reporter
FRONT door security chains have stopped burglars breaking in to two Laindon homes.
Police are urging residents to install the chains following two attempted break-ins on April 22.
Thieves tried to break in to a house in Markhams Chase at about 2.20am.
About an hour later, at 3.15am, they tried to burgle a house in Nursery Gardens.
In both incidents the victims were woken-up and the would-be thieves disturbed.
Angie Torrance, station sergeant at Basildon Police Station, said: "The person responsible for these offences was unsuccessful due to the occupants use of security door chains.
"This simple crime prevention measure has proved to be effective in stopping this offender in their tracks."

A pair of wins over Highway 10 rival Melville has leap-frogged the Yorkton Terriers to top spot, both overall and in their division, in the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League.
Friday in Melville the Millionaires scored 6:44 into the game, a powerplay marker by Cole Berreth, which proved the only marker of the opening frame.
It was also be the only goal of the night for the host team.
In the second period the Terriers would get powerplay markers of their own from Tyler Giebel and Kailum Gervais, to take a 2-1 lead through 40-minutes.
Chase Norrish would add an insurance marker into an empty net in the final minute of the game to complete a 3-1 Terrier win.
Kale Thomson faced 32-shots in the Yorkton net for the win, the same shot total Isaiah Plett faced in the loss for the Mils.
Terrier head coach Trent Cassan said it was a good start in Melville.
"We had a real good start last night," he said after Saturday's win in Yorkton, adding while Melville held the lead after 20-minutes, the Terrier effort was one they built on the rest of the way.
"I just told the guys to stay the course," he said, mentioning that the powerplay clicked in the second.
A night later at the Farrell Agencies Arena in Yorkton the home-team again led 1-0 through 20-minutes as Brett Boehm struck on the powerplay late in the frame.
Boehm would add two more in the second to record a hat trick, while Gervais would add a single.
Alex Brandrup and Cole Berreth replied for Melville to leave the score 4-2 in favour of the Terriers through 40-minutes.
Landon Farrell would add a powerplay goal 7:47 into the third to draw the Millionaires to within one, but that would be the end of the scoring in a 4-3 Terrier win.
Thomson was again in net for the Terrier win facing 29-shots, while Plett faced 40 in the loss.
Boehm said the hat trick was of course gratifying, made more so that it came against Melville.
While arriving just in time for the New Year's set with the Mils, Boehm said he is now well aware of the intensity of the rivalry. He said playing New Year's Day in Melville and looking at the rink full of fans for both teams cheering told him all about the intensity.
"It didn't take long to understand," he said.
A three goal performance in a big game is something the Terriers were hoping for when they acquired Boehm in a trade with Flin Flon. He said he realizes that he is supposed to score and with linemates Giebel and Gervais things are clicking.
Boehm said the line was put together when Tayler Thompson missed a couple of games, and just started working right off, adding it has spread the offence out a bit noting "Thompson can create offence without anybody with him."
This weekend's game had the added pressure of being for first place in the Viterra Division.
"It was an eight point weekend really," offered Boehm, noting wins for the Terriers were equally as important as losses for the Mils.
Cassan said it has been a dogfight with Melville all season.
"It's been tight between the two of us all year," he said, and while the two wins have given Yorkton an edge, he expects it will be tight the rest of the season too."
As for the success of the Boehm/Giebel/Gervais line, Cassan noted, "they've been really good on the powerplay lately." He then added "as a team our powerplay has been more effective."
Cassan said a key to the powerplay's improvement has been the Terrier defence getting involved.
The two wins by the Terriers lifted them back into top spot in the SJHL's Viterra Division with 68-points based on a record of 31-11-2-4. That is two better than Melville with 66. Yorkton also has two games in-hand.
Estevan sits third with 56-points, followed by Weyburn with 45.
Up next
The Terriers were scheduled to host Humboldt Tuesday, but results were not available at press time.
Yorkton heads out on the road to face La Ronge Friday, and then stop in Melfort for action Saturday.

Panthers get past the Orange in MVAC softball
INDIAN LAKE — Crown Point had a huge first inning, scoring four runs and taking the lead for good as the Panthers defeated Indian Lake/Long Lake on the road, 15-6.
Emma Gray and Alex Macey each pitched a complete-game performance. Macey, however, got the better of duel.
Macey helped herself in the game, going 3-for-5 with a home run to put the game out of reach for the Orange.
Brittany Foote went 3-for-4 at the plate, including a double. Maddy Miller went 1-for-3 with a single.
"(Macey) is a very good pitcher," Indian Lake/Long Lake coach Gary Gray said. "She is probably the best pitcher in the conference and we didn't do a bad job against her today, but she is a very good pitcher."
The issue for the Orange was committing fielding errors, accounting for seven of them.
"We didn't practice on the field," Gray said. "We had a lot of tough hops and overthrows and that is what hurt us in the game (Friday), but we can sort those out."

The room is actually very nice and clean! The TV channels were decent and they had Fox, CNN and TNT. The bed was very comfortable and they had extra blankets and pillows.
Good location, ample space, comfy beds.
Junior Suite was not worth the cost. It was only the size of a regular cabin. It was fairly clean but the carpet was stained.

From the days when North Americans had to face that difficult decision in choosing between two beers -- each marketed under a vast array of labels, natch -- came the odd habit of drinking one type of beer year round. Didn't matter whether it was 90 degrees in the shade or 10 degrees below sans wind chill -- ice-cold, light-flavored lager became our choice.
Well, guess what folks? We don't have to do that anymore! .

Amarillo, Texas - As cases of fungal meningitis appear in other parts of the country, we have had none in our area.
And a local doctor tells us he's sure there won't be any in the future.
With new fungal meningitis cases being confirmed, it's understandable why some would worry.
But I was told today while these worries are expected, they are not necessary.
An Amarillo doctor says several physicians in our area, himself included, have their medications go through a strict process regulated by the state and FDA.
Dr. B.J. Daneshfar says, "each hospital, each clinic, or each physician get papers indicating that's done. And different entities must authorize or release that these tests are done. And every batch that we buy has that done."
Doctor Daneshfar says some states may have different rules, or they may cut steps out of the process.
This is why they have problems.
He says, "I personally have used this since 1998 and never had an infection or any problems."
To him, the compounding pharmacy in New England where the tainted drugs originated, is not correctly going through this process.
And this has resulted in their medication causing people to develop fungal meningitis, leaving our local patients concerned.
Mary Dillard says, "of course the fear of people that have had this in other parts of the country that have even had deaths over it, I became very alarmed and very concerned. I called up here and talked to them and they told me there's no fear. They've come from a different place than where the others had come from."
Doctor Daneshfar is one of many who believe the fungal meningitis outbreak will end soon.
Dr. Brian S. Murrell says, "there will probably be more cases that arise from previous injections that were done using their medication, but I suspect the worst is over in terms of numbers."
Physicians tell me this type of meningitis is not contagious and aside from the current injection cases, very rare.

How the hell could Allen outplay him when he was out for 8 games last year? Allen is even more injury prone. In fact, he's injured this year, as well, with his thumb fracture. D-Jax was one of the main reasons our defense dominated in 2002 and finished #1 last year. When you have stable play @ FS, the Cover 2 can really dominate in passing defense. Just look at when we had Damien Robinson manning the spot? We were burned repeatedly, until D-Jax became pretty good.
the main guy hurting our defense is Booger,if he puts pressure up the middle every body does better.
Dexter was let go becuase he was oft injured and Allen out played him and took his starting spot last year. It looks like with every loss the IQ of Bucs fans drops several notches it seems.

A non-stop flurry of nothing came out of Las Vegas as the Winter Meetings came to a close, as the gold nuggets ended up being turd nuggets. Not that this deal was a real whopper, but Melky and Mike Cameron wasn't finalized so I'm not going to go into that yet.Please, blog, may I have some more?
David Ortiz went straight from DH to the DL. If there was any justice, he'd have at least gotten some time at DJ. So this is our rap ode, a 'sixteen' if you know what I mean and watch Miss Rap Supreme….Please, blog, may I have some more?
Today, I noticed my diploma from the College of Fantasy Baseball at Charleston was a bit dusty and hanging crooked. So, I removed it from the wall, gave it a spit shine, polished the wood frame and fixed the wire so it would hang straight.Please, blog, may I have some more?
Halladay is the vet who averages 10 innings a game. AJ Burnett is the high-paid free agent with filthy stuff. McGowan is the prospect that's on the verge of greatness, but Marcum has the best ERA, WHIP and K rate. That's right, Shaun Marcum!Please, blog, may I have some more?
In fantasy baseball, it's imperative to trade away overrated players before they lose their luster and trade for underrated players. Then there's simply the rated ones. If this reads vaguely familiar, it's because I'm cribbing Chuck Klosterman, who I think is brilliant.Please, blog, may I have some more?
I'm admittedly not a fan of rookie catchers. There's not a long history of success, Piazza and… Um… Well… Benito Santiago. Granted in fantasy baseball, you don't need a whole lot from a catcher for him to have a good year.Please, blog, may I have some more?
After ten or so years, Rudy and I managed to agree on a trade. Melky Cabrera for Zach Greinke in a ten team mixed league. A fair enough trade in my estimation, but I still waited a day before pulling the trigger.Please, blog, may I have some more?
These are the players you want to drop, add or simply hold onto for your fantasy baseball roster.
Every Baltimore Oriole not named Nick Markakis, Ramon Hernandez or Brian Roberts – This team looks atrocious. Millar's best is behind him, and he was never that good, shortstop is a black hole, Mora is mediocre and will get injured soon, forget Adam Jones for now, I don't even like Luke Scott anymore as a deep sleeper.Please, blog, may I have some more?

It breaks our hearts when we read the news that our children are slaughtered in their schools, fellow citizens are massacred in a theater, or simply shot defending their homes. In many parts of the world, it's rare to live to a "ripe old age." Men, women, and children are savagely slaughtered at random by those without law and a venomous thirst for the blood of the infidel.
Whenever senseless slaughter occurs in our country, the cry goes out to limit the ownership of guns. The only thing standing in the way of millions of Americans who have no respect, nor the desire, for a gun is our Constitution.
I've never been a gun enthusiast. We had an old single shot .22 when I was young. I never saw my dad fire it. My brother killed a snake with it in 1951. The rifle lived in the garage. In the military, I became acquainted with a variety of guns. I passed all the tests. Guns have never been a passion of mine.
What is a passion of mine is my country and its Constitution. The Second Amendment states, "the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed." That's not a 'privilege' offered by Barack Obama, Eric Holder, Jerry Brown, Sheriff Anderson, or even the U.S. Supreme Court. It is a right guaranteed by our Constitution to all law-abiding citizens of the United States of America.
So the emotional cry goes up by millions of people whenever a heartbreaking slaughter like Newtown happens and our pandering government seems to think it must do something to pacify the ignorant.
I don't believe the blather coming from the White House, the U.S. Congress or any legislation passed by the feds, state, or local jurisdictions, to control the purchase or use of guns, would have prevented any of the gun-related tragedies in the past several years.
Here's the problem: Our elected officials have failed, for decades, to protect and defend the Constitution of these United States. We The People have the constitutional right to keep and bear arms. Our government has failed to ensure a "well regulated militia." Of course, the founding fathers knew that a well-armed nation is one major means of keeping our "government" in line.
Let me try to explain my position: We have a (relatively) well-regulated transportation system. Most drivers have passed a course of study, shown a reasonable ability to operate a motor vehicle and, once licensed to do so, go about their business. Are there unlicensed drivers on our highways? Have they caused traffic disasters? Of course. That is called "criminal." Period.
Consider the hard work and trillions spent regulating the 'privilege' of driving and the hard work and trillions spent suppressing a Constitutional right. Instead of doing the hard work necessary to fulfill their oath, our government has demonstrated that it really wishes our Second Amendment would just go away.
What should have happened decades ago was our federal government declaring a legal age for gun ownership, ensuring that every citizen who wishes to do so receive information and training in the proper use of weapons, and issuing a license to keep and bear arms. That would be well regulated. But thanks to all the propaganda spewing from the feds and the states, supported by the anti-gun idiots, we are burdened with the brilliance of fat-cat legislators who pick and choose just how we will be "allowed" to exercise our Constitutional rights.
Ah, California. Our elected wing-nuts who find it abhorrent that lead poisoning should be the result of being shot helped close America's last lead factory, dismissed the employees, and raised the price of ammunition.
The latest techno legislation is to enforce "microstamping" on shell casings. It won't bother the criminal element one iota but continues to harass law-abiding citizens. Oh, by the way, say good-bye to Smith & Wesson and other legal arms dealers and their related employees and economical support of California. Brilliant.
Our Constitutional rights granted by the Second Amendment, has been under assault for decades. If only our elected government worked this hard to "protect and defend" our Constitution, there would be trillions of taxpayer dollars saved and we would enjoy greater peace and freedom through a well-regulated militia.

Clint Dempsey appeared to have put the United States ahead in the 20th minute, but a close offside call that went against the United States' wiped Dempsey's left-footed finished off the scoresheet, keeping the match scoreless.
Michael Bradley broke into attack at the edge of the box only to be collapsed upon by three Algerian defenders. The ball eventually found an open Herculez Gomez on the right wing, who had a point blank shot saved by Rais M'Bolhu. The rebound to Gomez found its way to Dempsey at the far post, who touched the ball into the open net.
Replays showed that Dempsey, three yards from goal, was probably even with Algerian defender Mahjid Bougherra.

Hypothetical 'Xindi Mission' game - what if.. ( nerdy)
WARNING - this post is for the most hardcore Enterprise fans, and in fact the most rabid Star Trek fans in general. So please don't flame me or others who choose to play this game. Also, people who are not as 'hardcore' can play as well, all are welcome as long as you don't flame someone for being so nerdy to know the detail needed to play this word game!! END OF WARNING
We all know of the Xindi mission, where they entered the delphic expanse, and finally saved earth.
Now the game...
What if the same exact mission was needed to be carried out - BUT -
Instead of the NX-01 Enterprise, the N.C.C. 1701-E Enterprise was sent in in it's place.
I don't know how this could happen, time travel, whatever.
But for the sake of this game, imagine Picard and crew had NO KNOWLEDGE of what to expect, just like Archer's ship and crew. They were going in blind and alone.
Now, knowing what you know of the Xindi Arc, how would things have played out differently?
For example, the Enterprise-E was and is VASTLY superior in every way compared to the NX class starship. Speed, Defense, Weapons, Transporters, Shuttlecraft, Sensons, etc all of it is a wild leap from the NX line.
I will start off the little game with my 'what if' thoughts
I would suspect Enterprise E would be shielded from, or could quickly adapt to the nature of the expanse, so those damaging 'anomalies' from the Spheres would not harm them like they did the NX class.
Also, with the Sovereign class Enterprise, with it's advanced sensors, would have pinpointed much faster than the NX class could where the Xindi were, they could have scanned all of the spheres instead of the smaller number the NX class could, etc.
All encounters with the Xindi would be heavily favored toward the Sovereign class Enterprise.
I would be they could have went right in and destroyed 'the weapon' without having to use the stealth Archer did, and if the weapon got away they could have followed it and caught up without the help of Degra's ship, etc.
I hope you like this idea, I know it got my mind going, filling in Picard's ship in each episode instead of the NX Enterprise.
WOW!! talk about hypothetical. Technically that could have happend, Daniels could have sent the E back in time to stop the threat to the timeline. But that wouldnt have made for a very good and very long season.
The whole fact that the E has shields shoots this whole Idea out of wack. Not to mention longer and bettter use of transporters.
Then again you can say that about any episode or Movie or any show at all for that matter. U can usually say, WHY DIDNT THEY JUST DO THAT??? But again, its a movie, show, and it would make it short and boring.
" To Bodlygo were no man has gone before."
I,m still trying to figure out why they never went to Bodlygo. does anyone remember that episode???
Based on everything we saw during Season 3, there wasn't a single vessel in the Delphic expanse that could've stood up to the Enterprise-A, let alone the E. And given the much more advanced scientific knowledge of the crew on the Enterprise-E, the nature and function of the Spheres would've been deduced very quickly; and they probably would've destroyed or disabled them rather quickly. It's also quite likely the Enterprise-E would've had a lot less trouble convincing the Xindi to call off their attack, considering all the data they must have in their computers. Also, it's quite possible that there could even be Xindi crewmen aboard the E that could help in convincing their ancestors.
Hypothetically Daniels could have sent the E back in time to stop the threat to the timeline but the "Makers" could have sent back a similar defence ship from the future or forged a partnership with the founders?.
Imagine, NX01, 1701-E & J against the Makers & the Jem Hadar?
Course Heading Sir; Second star to the right... and straight on till morning

A Northeast Cobb state lawmaker who is the chief sponsor of a major piece of wireless legislation is defending the bill as necessary for public safety and economic development.
State Rep. Don Parsons, a Repulican, explained in a video posted Friday that HB 176 is more than beneficial to cellular and wireless companies.
The bill, known officially as the Mobile Broadband Infrastructure Leads to Development (BILD) Act, would streamline cell tower approvals by limiting the time local governments can take to act on applications.
HB 176 would provide a 150-day window for approval or rejection by local governments. If those bodies take no action in that time, an application is considered approved.
The legislation was approved last week by the Georgia House Energy, Utilities and Telecommunications Committee that Parsons chairs and will be sent to the Rules Committee this week for a full House vote.
"That's a lot of time, a lot more time that's being given than in other Southeastern states," Parsons said in the video of the 150-day limit.
HB 176 has the support of the cellular and wireless industry and such pro-business groups as Americans for Prosperity.
It is by opposed by Georgia Municipal Association (see attached PDF) and the Association of County Commissioners of Georgia as well as a number of local governments, including the north Fulton city of Milton.
Parsons said that cell towers accommodate more than phones, with smart phones, tablets and other complex devices requiring more bandwidth.
"It's not the 150 days cities and counties object to. Not once have they come to me and asked for some other number of days," he said. "What they disagree with is that they cannot demand money from and charge the cell phone companies what they want."
According to a 2012 AJC article, metro Atlanta was ranked as the second-most-wired region in the country by Forbes magazine.
"There's a demand for cell service in this state that is only going to increase," Parsons added. "There's demand for bandwidth that's only going to increase. This bill will go a long way toward those issues."
The AJC reported this week that a similar "shot clock" measure approved in 2009 by the Federal Communications Communication is being challenged in the U.S. Supreme Court.

Veterans day services are underway across the Quad Cities and starting things off Saturday morning was a celebration at the Hero Street monument in Silvis.
The Hero Street service is not only well known in the Quad Cities, but across the country. That's because more than 100 people who grew up on the quiet street went on to join the military, fighting for our freedom. Eight of those people, whose faces are engraved on the monument, even lost their lives doing so.
Many of their family members, who are also vets themselves, were at the ceremony. They say it's a moment that means so much.
"I'm just one of the 15 members of the Soliz family that has served and are still serving," said Korean Vet Tony Soliz.
Soliz says protecting our country is in his family's blood. His uncle, who is pictured on the monument, died fighting in World War II. Meanwhile, his nephew is carrying on the family tradition of service in Afghanistan.
"Memorial day and Veterans day mean a lot to me. All the veterans, like I say, some went and some came back, all the ones that didn't come back we honor them today, along with everybody else that has served."
Soliz was even given his own honor Saturday, a small plaque, for his continued efforts to never forget the legacy of Hero Street.
"I really appreciate this plaque. I'm really proud of this street."
Another proud veteran is Tanilo Sandoval. "Veterans day is very special to me because I lost my two brothers in World War II and my youngest brother served in Korea and was killed in an automobile accident five weeks after he came home," Sandoval said.
For Sandoval not a day goes by he doesn't think about them.
"I come here everyday."
The only difference on Saturday morning, he's not alone.

ProgressNow New Mexico wants a state senator to apologize for labeling the gay community as "whores."
In a recent blog post, state Senator Bill Sharer (R-Farmington) wrote about his stand against gay marriage in New Mexico. He wrote that even though Alexander the Great was an admitted homosexual, he was a traditional marriage hero because he married a woman.
"He directed his officers to stop 'whoring' around and find a local woman to marry," Sharer wrote.
"The threat to Senator Sharer and the Republican Party in New Mexico doesn't come from loving couples entering into committed relationships, it comes from their own failure to recognize the progress our country is making towards realizing the dream of freedom and equality for all," said Patrick Davis, executive director of ProgressNow New Mexico. "That's not the gay agenda or the Hispanic agenda, it's the American dream. They are no longer on the wrong side of history, they are on the wrong side of now."
Sharer said he will file a lawsuit to stop county clerks from issuing same-sex marriage licenses, but a suit has not yet been filed.

Gloucester Daily Times
---- — To the editor:
Mr. Slyman's piece ("Midweek Musings," the Times, Wednesday, July 3) has sparked a number of responses, and while there are a number of valid issues raised and opinions stated, I still have a question about the acceptance of Mr. Slyman's column and letters that would only serve as fuel for responses of anger and outrage.
For those who are bothered by my reference to Mr. Slyman as "Mr." I try to avoid confusing who someone is vs. what that person does or claims to do.
I fail to see how the community benefits from such transactions that have been displayed on-line or by the original midweek comment. I also fail to see how the Gloucester Daily Times benefits from such publications.
As many know or believe, I am fortunate to have many of my letters published and I deeply appreciate that signal honor. But, always, I consider what affect or effect might follow from what I write. I do not write to incite but to provoke a possible insight.
I believe, without any proof to offer at the moment, that sometimes we are better off without some musings, letters, and many of the on-line splatterings. Newspapers, more than any other media, have an obligation to inform as many readers as possible in as neutral a manner as we flawed humans are capable of doing.
The influence newspapers exert over a long period shapes the community. I think we should have a high standard that we demand of them. This is not something we ask that they adhere to, but something we demand of them.
Rabble rousers are always underfoot; our community has to demand a higher ethical standard be presented by those who have the power to influence others.

Life After Breast Cancer
Cancer taught me to slow down.
-- Nicole Vazquez, 37, diagnosed three years ago
Vazquez was found to have Stage 2, triple-negative cancer when she was 34. She had chemotherapy followed by a mastectomy, radiation, and breast reconstruction. One year later, Vazquez became manager of corporate sponsorship at Susan G. Komen for the Cure. She lives in Dallas.
September 11 is an even more meaningful date for me than it is for most other Americans because that was the day in 2006 when I first felt a lump in my left breast. A week and a half later I was diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer and was told to start chemotherapy immediately. My doctors said I couldn't even wait long enough to harvest and freeze some of my eggs so that I could have kids one day. First I spent 24 weeks on chemo to shrink the tumor, then I had a mastectomy.
I've always been a confident, upbeat person with tons of energy and I wasn't about to let cancer get in my way. So four weeks after my surgery, there I was, back at work full-time, even though I was getting daily radiation treatments. My colleagues would ask, "How are you doing, Nicole?" and I'd flash a big smile and say, "Great, great." I was determined to be Wonder Woman.
And for a year I managed it. Then one day I simply crashed. I went to bed and slept for 10 hours. For a couple of months it was all I could do to drag myself to the office every day. Eventually I realized that my body was telling me that I needed to slow down and reflect on the enormity of what I'd been through.
It was also telling me I needed to set new priorities. For years my first concern was my job; my personal life had to fit into whatever space was left over. And I'd crammed that space full of frantic activity. I'd taken all the ingredients of a successful career -- efficiency, drive, achievement -- and applied them to my nonwork life, never once stopping to figure out what I really wanted.
These days, what I want is at the top of my list. And sometimes that's sleeping for 10 hours straight or just vegging out in front of the TV. If I don't have the energy to do something, I admit it to myself and don't commit. The same goes for work. I'll put in long hours if necessary, but there are times when I have to say, "Not today."
If cancer does nothing else, it teaches you the importance of having a support system. I'd always prided myself on my independence, so it was hard for me to ask for help. But I realized that it's okay to rely on others -- that, in fact, people feel honored when you allow them to lend a hand. And once I started accepting my limitations and truly paying attention to my own needs I became much more sensitive to the needs of others.
Today I counsel other women under 40 about the importance of early detection. One of the first things I tell them is, "You don't have to be Wonder Woman." Happily, I now realize that neither do I.

Former Norwich patrolman Kenneth Nieves, charged with sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl while on duty, made his first appearance this morning in the New London courtroom where major crimes are heard.
Nieves, who posted a $50,000 bond following his arrest last month, asked for more time to hire an attorney. Judge Patrick J. Clifford granted the request and continued the case to Feb. 6 after reminding Nieves he is under court order to have no contact with the alleged victim.
Nieves, 45, who joined the police department in 2002, resigned in September 2011 after he was placed on administrative leave while police investigated allegations that he was having sex with girls and women while on duty. He was arrested in December after a woman came forward with specific information about the charges.
According to state police, Nieves began a four-year sexual relationship with a 14-year-old in 2003-2004. The alleged victim, now 22, told state police he would come to her workplace while on duty and in uniform and have sex with her before driving her home in his cruiser.
Senior Assistant State's Attorney Theresa Anne Ferryman, who signed the arrest warrant charging Nieves with three counts of second-degree sexual assault and three counts of risk of injury to a minor, will prosecute the case.

Doctors are telling patients who have not had their flu shot to get one as flu season continues to sicken people across Tennessee.
According to the Centers for Disease Control, Region 4 which includes Tennessee, Kentucky, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, North Carolina and South Carolina has elevated cases of influenza.
Elevated means the percentage of positive influenza tests is above the national average.
"The influenza vaccine is a good but not perfect vaccine," Dr. William Schaffner said. "It will prevent many infections for many people."
Dr. Schaffner is the chairman of Vanderbilt University Medical Center's Department of Preventative Medicine.
He said a number of people may have gotten a flu shot and still fallen ill because they are not actually suffering from influenza, but an infection that has similar symptoms.
"They are coming in with a cough, bronchitis, not feeling well, stuffy nose, sore throat and some aches," he said. "It sounds like influenza, but there are other respiratory viruses like the common cold that's also going around at the same time."
He continued, "Truly many of these respiratory infections are the common cold caused by other viruses. The flu vaccine can't prevent those it can prevent real influenza."
Dr. Schaffner said the flu vaccine changes every year depending on what train doctors believe will be the most prevalent.
"This year we hit it right on target because the circulating viruses are well matched in the vaccine," he said. "If you haven't gotten vaccinated that is the first thing they should do."
Flu season is far from over. Dr. Schaffner said the peak for flu is usually February.
"Also wash your hands, stay away from people who are coughing and sneezing, as much as that is possible in this busy season, and get lots of sleep," he said.
If you do get sick the doctor said you should stay home so you do not infect others.
The flu can be the most dangerous for infants, the elderly or others with compromised immune systems.Each year the flu kills more than 30,000 people nationwide.
