Multi-Action Advanced Formula
Super Body Shaper from Genesis Nutrition is a natural blend of amino acids that is aimed at improving functioning of hormones that keeps your body in shape. The supplement is used widely by bodybuilders and workout enthusiasts for a toned body, lean muscle mass and an unremitting source of energy. Three to five tablets of Super Body Shaper are ideal for a well toned body. The natural ingredients make it typically safe to have and reduce chances of unwanted side effects. However, in the rare possibility of allergic reactions, a physician should be consulted to determine the right dose.
Potent Amino Acid Complex
Super Body Shaper is a potent mix of Arginine Pyroglutamte, Lysine, Ornithine, Glycine Dipeptide and Choline. Choline is a soluble ammonium salt that improves structural integrity and neurotransmitter capacities of cell membranes. Choline is also known to maintain proper metabolism rates in the body. Choline is widely used to treat conditions of hypertension, anxiety and a variety of disorders – Alzheimer's disease, liver conditions, depression, cognitive conditions, glaucoma, hepatitis and even neurological disorders. The benefits of this ammonium salt also extend to a healthy circulation system and strong cardiovascular health.
Glycine Dipeptide is used to build muscle tissues and convert glucose into energy. Since it converts glucose it is useful in maintaining sugar levels in blood. It is also effective in regulating production of bile acids that digest fat and is therefore used widely to improve the health of the digestive system. Glycine also inhibits neurotransmitters causing depression and hyperactivity syndromes and is a key amino acid aiding the health of the nervous system as well.
Ornithine, Arginine and Lysine
The key body shaping capability of Super Body Shaper comes from Ornithine. This amino acid is a key member in the urea cycle aiding removal of excess nitrogen from the body. Ornithine prevents accumulation of harmful nitrogenous wastes and ensures appropriate running of the liver. Ornithine has also been found to be effective in enhancing the secretion of growth hormones and building lean body mass when combined with arginine. Arginine aids in boosting stamina and energy levels. It also enhances release of growth hormone and aids synthesis of proteins. It achieves this effect by suppressing Endogenous Somatostatin (a hormone that reduces the secretion of growth hormones) secretion. Arginine has decreases blood pressure and repairs damaged muscle and bone tissues- an excellent post work out supplement. Arginine also is effective in improving blood circulation to muscles and vital organs. Bodybuilders prefer arginine supplements as they gain muscle mass as a result of the improved blood flow. However, this amino acid is a must have for regular health conscious individuals as well who gain from superior functioning of vital organs.
The Lysine Component
The Lysine component in Super Body Shaper helps build stronger bones, ligaments and tendons. It is also effective in improving overall immunity levels by improving antibody formation in the body. The Super Body Shaper is a complete mix of powerful amino acids with multiple benefits including that of a well shaped body. Buy the supplement for its natural composition and impressive components. The trust and quality guarantee of Genesis Nutrition makes the Super Body Shaper a must have in any workout enthusiast's diet chart.

Sports Blog: Jerry Jones throwing rocks
Dallas Cowboys Owner/President/General Manager/PR Machine Jerry Jones fired Defensive Coordinator Rob Ryan after just two seasons on the Cowboys staff.
Jones promised big changes after the Cowboys fell to another 8-8 finish, and this seems to be what he was talking about.
Most fans wanted a different splash. More specifically, a lot of fans wanted head coach Jason Garrett gone.
At the very least, most wanted Jerry to at least hire an offensive coordinator to take play calling duties away from Garrett.
Instead, it feels like Jerry Jones picked a random coach to fire just to make a splash. The Cowboys defense did fade at the end of the season, but that has more to do with the injuries that the defense suffered.
The Cowboys defense was so decimated by injuries, that not even the most diehard Cowboy fans knew the names of some of the linebackers and defensive backs that saw the field for America's team this season.
We should've known that this defense was doomed after Sean Lee and Bruce Carter were done for the year. Former All-Pro nose tackle Jay Ratliff played about as much this season as Kyle Orton did.
And to make matters worse, Ratliff's backup was arrested and caused one of the worst moments in Cowboys history, leaving Coach Ryan to grab another nose tackle the night before a game in Cincinnati.
Now if all these injuries sound like excuses for Ryan, perhaps you're right. Perhaps Ryan's defense wasn't going to cut it no matter who was on the field.
Perhaps looking for a new defensive coordinator is the right move for the cowboys, especially with a Texas native like Lovie Smith looking for work.
Perhaps a move back to the 4-3 defense is in the best interest of the boys, and Ryan is a traditional 3-4 guy.
The decision to fire Ryan might've been strictly football, but let's all be honest. This feels like a desperation move, a move Jerry did to make some sort of splash, just to prove to the angry fan base that 8-8 is no longer acceptable.
In the end though, it really feels like he just picked up a heavy rock, and threw it in the lake just for the sake of seeing a splash, and that's not how you excite a fan base.

Brad Wiggins has worked in the burn unit at the University of Utah Medical Center about 22 years. Brad was among a group of people at the hospital 20-years-ago that wanted to help young burn survivors begin to feel better about the way they look.
The group organized a river rafting trip giving the burn patients a chance to have fun and build confidence. That raft trip on the Green River quickly evolved into a summer camp called Burn Camp.
"No one asks them a question. No one says 'oh my gosh what happened to you? Why do you look that way?' They're safe. It's the first place, maybe since their burn injury, where they can take their shirt off at the pool and feel comfortable," Wiggins said.
Brad is now the director of Burn Camp, but it's more than a job to him. He spends huge amounts of his own time and money to make it all happen.
Brad and his group have expanded to camps and river rafting trips for pretty much all ages. All expenses for the burn survivors are paid and some come from as far away as Montana.

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. — The Detroit Pistons set the tone against the Orlando Magic on the game's opening possession. Brandon Jennings launched a long-range shot, and teammate Andre Drummond grabbed the offensive rebound.
It foreshadowed the rest of the night.
The Pistons dominated the Magic in the paint and cruised to a 103-87 win that was more lopsided than the final score indicates.

"We just have to play tougher and take more pride and ownership in what we need to do individually and collectively," Magic point guard Jameer Nelson said. "I felt like we didn't do that at all tonight. We knew who they were in terms of the style of play they played, and it just seemed like it surprised us."
In the hours before tipoff, the Magic worried about the exact scenario that eventually unfolded. Playing without starting center Nik Vucevic, the Magic just couldn't stop the Detroit Pistons' tall and athletic frontcourt of Josh Smith, Greg Monroe and Drummond.
The Pistons collected 17 offensive rebounds and generated 20 second-chance points.
And Detroit compiled 44 points in the paint, while Orlando managed just 22.
"The rebounding was a big, big part of the first half for them," Magic swingman Arron Afflalo said. "That's a big team, man."
The Pistons (18-27) had been playing poorly. They'd lost four consecutive games entering Tuesday.
But for them, the Magic (12-34) were a cure-all.
"We just had to get a win," Detroit coach Maurice Cheeks said.
Drummond finished with 13 points and a game-high 17 rebounds, while Smith added 16 points on an uncharacteristically efficient 8-of-12 shooting night.
Monroe gathered 11 boards of his own.
"The great thing about this game is you know it's coming," Magic coach Jacque Vaughn said. "There was warning, the way their team plays, whether we saw it on film, whether we talked about it. Now we've just got to get in a position of stopping them."
Vaughn attempted to compensate for the Pistons' size and for Vucevic's absence by juggling his starting lineup.
Vaughn scrapped his three-guard lineup. He started Jason Maxiell at power forward, shifted Tobias Harris to small forward and moved guard Victor Oladipo to the bench.
Maxiell, who spent his first eight seasons with the Pistons, was playing his first game at The Palace of Auburn Hills since he joined the Magic as a free agent last summer.
In 14 minutes, he collected one rebound and blocked one shot.
"It was tough," Maxiell said. "Going into halftime, they had 12 offensive rebounds and 16 second-chance points. So, we tried to come out in the third quarter and hit them first a little bit, which I felt we did in some ways. But they came back and hit us back."
That's when the game morphed into a rout.

According to Zindas website, the restaurants name is Hindi for alive. In a number of ways, its an apt name for the newest member of the Eschelon Hospitality group of restaurants.
Its certainly a suitable description of the decor, which more than lives up to the reputation for visual drama that has become an Eschelon trademark in restaurants such as Mura, Sono and The Oxford.
Zindas two-level dining room fairly throbs with the tension between earthy and organic elements (stone walls, contorted root balls suspended from a high ceiling, two nine-foot communal tables fashioned from a single tree trunk) and the yards of purple neon that frame a sleek bar and keyhole-shaped doorways. A recurring Asian motif -- bamboo canes, Buddha sculptures and prints, exotic wood chopsticks on the tables -- is woven throughout, unifying the disparate elements.
And setting the stage for a menu that takes you on a freewheeling tour of pan-Asian fare from Indian chana masala to Chinese duck chow fun to Filipino pork adobo. Descriptions helpfully include the country of origin for each dish, most of which favor contemporary interpretation over strict authenticity. Occasionally, the menu ventures into fusion territory, labeled as New Asian: crispy channa with beets, grilled beef lollipops on sugar cane sticks, and the like.
Five-spice fried calamari, tossed with garlic and Thai chiles, are a fine way to wake up your taste buds. So is som tam salad, a refreshing contemporary riff thats lighter than the original while remaining true in spirit.
Shaking beef lettuce cups, so named for the way the nuggets of tender New York strip steak hop about in the wok as theyre being cooked, is another winning starter. So are steamed buns, with one caveat: Id pass on the surprisingly bland pork belly version, and opt instead for chicken katsu, mushroom, or duck confit.
The entree selection is similarly diverse, traipsing all over the continent from masala-spiced lamb to nasi goreng to miso-glazed scallops to vegetarian lo mein.
A deconstructed mahi vindaloo serves up a moist piece of fish, subtly spiced and expertly seared, alongside a mound of rice and a ladleful of potatoes in a vinegar-tinged vindaloo sauce thats toned down from the traditional version but nonetheless tasty.
The coconut-based Macau yellow curry is even milder, in this case authentically so. As long as youre not expecting the punch of an Indian or Thai curry, youll be charmed by the delicate flavor. Like me, though, you may find yourself wishing the kitchen would be more generous with the mushrooms, tofu, zucchini, red bell peppers, carrots and onions promised by the menu in this vegetarian dish.
Szechwan bison flank steak, on the other hand, was firing on all cylinders when I ordered it: lean, tender petals of dry-fried meat, lightly glazed in a brown sauce punctuated with green onions, chiles and just a suggestion of Szechwan peppercorn.
The bison has since been replaced by flank steak, the result of a recent tweaking of the menu. I cant vouch for the new version, though the description otherwise remains unchanged.
I can, however, tell you that at least one of the new items -- a Malaysian salad featuring bamboo-skewered grilled shrimp on a bed of mixed greens, topped with a vibrant mango salsa -- is a keeper. And, as far as I can tell, Filipino cigars are the same toothsome pork-and-carrot-filled spring rolls I enjoyed when they were formerly listed under their authentic name of lumpia.
Zindas dessert offering is brief but varied, with options including flan, molten lava cake and the Indian-spiced smore that tantalized but wasnt available the night I wanted it. Judging by the merely passable mango mousse I got instead, Im inclined to recommend spending the calories on side dishes with your entrees. Greens braised with hoisin and bacon, say, and exceptionally fluffy naan with mint and tamarind chutneys.
Depending on the luck of the draw, service can be very good. Or you can get the short straw in the form of a server who exhibits all the liveliness and charm of a zombie. As our party waited, and waited, and waited for her to make a rare appearance one Saturday night, we joked that maybe she only came to life after 10 p.m. Thats when Zinda morphs from restaurant into trendy bar on weekends, living up to its name in a different way.

A South Georgia cyclist who met Lance Armstrong is disappointed by his confession.
Kent Wheler is an avid cycler who has competed in many cycling events and teaches spinning and cycling classes in Albany.
Wheler says although Armstrong cheated, that shouldn't overshadow the work he's done for cancer research through the Livestrong Foundation.
"Even though we can be upset with him as a cheat, I think we also have to keep it in perspective that he's done a lot of good things for cancer so I have mixed emotions on it," said Wheler.
Armstrong, a cancer survivor, founded the Livestrong foundation in 1997.
He stepped down as chairman of the foundation in October as a result of the doping scandal.

NEW YORK (AP) — Paula Deen dissolved into tears during a "Today" show interview Wednesday about her admission that she used a racial slur in the past, saying anyone in the audience who's never said anything they've regretted should pick up a rock and throw it at her head.
The celebrity chef, who had backed out of a "Today" interview last Friday, said she wasn't a racist and was heartbroken by the controversy that began with her own deposition in a lawsuit. Deen has been dropped by the Food Network and as a celebrity endorser by Smithfield Foods.
"I've had to hold friends in my arms while they've sobbed because they know what's been said about me is not true and I'm having to comfort them," she said.
Deen told Lauer she could only recall using the "n-word" once. She had earlier said that she remembered using it when retelling a story about when she was held at gunpoint by a robber who was black while working as a bank teller in the 1980s in Georgia. In a deposition for the lawsuit involving an employee in a restaurant owned by Deen and her brother, she had said she may also have used the slur when recalling conversations between black employees at her restaurants.
Looking distressed and her voice breaking, Deen said if there was someone in the audience who had never said something they wished they could take back, "please pick up that stone and throw it as hard at my head so it kills me. I want to meet you. I want to meet you.
"I is what I is and I'm not changing," she said. "There's someone evil out there that saw what I worked for and wanted it."

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB/AP) -- The Internal Revenue Service says the now-former head of the University of Louisville's Department of Family & Geriatric Medicine wrote checks to himself for over $2 million.
Perry "Chad" Vaughn is due in federal court on Monday after federal prosecutors obtained a preliminary injunction to prevent him from spending any of the money. The IRS says the money came from the department and affiliated medical practices.
In December of last year, a court document says, U of L's Audit Services heard testimony that the quality of Vaughn's work had gone down, and that he was frequently absent. It was also told that he took frequent trips to Las Vegas and that he had taken his two children and his mother to Grand Turks and Caicos. It also heard that Vaughn was wearing expensive clothing and driving expensive automobiles.
Auditors looking into the case said they found evidence that some bank accounts had been altered, with deposit totals and the number of deposits found to be wrong, a check number duplicated, and dates out of order.
The court document says when Vaughn was interviewed by a U of L Police detective and FBI special agent, he admitted to issuing 25 fraudulent checks to himself. Those checks added up to nearly $704,000. But authorities say additional evidence brings that total up to over $2 million.
U of L has since fired Vaughn. Gary Mans, Director of Communications and Marketing with the U of L Health Sciences Center, released a statement saying the university is cooperating fully in the investigation. He added, "The University of Louisville has solid internal controls in place to guard against the misuse of university funds. But it's up to employees and their supervisors to follow those policies and procedures. Unfortunately, an employee occasionally will violate the public trust. When this occurs these individuals will be aggressively prosecuted."
Vaughn has not been charged criminally. Federal prosecutors filed a civil complaint against him detailing a criminal investigation.
Emails sent Wednesday morning to Vaughn's University of Louisville accounts were returned as undeliverable. Emails sent to a personal account listed in court documents drew no immediate response.
However, WDRB News was able to track down Vaughn's attorney.
"Mr. Vaughn hired me about a week ago after he was interviewed by federal agents," says John Olash, Vaughn's attorney.
Louisville attorney John Olash is representing Vaughn, he can't comment on the alleged spending but says he is preparing for both civil and criminal charges.
"We expect an indictment at some point and at that time the government will be required to give me all the records that support the charges and I'll be in a position to determine what defenses exists."
According to the civil complaint, a co-worker sent an e-mail to the University of Louisville audit services in October of last year. It outlines her concerns about Vaughn's apparent overt expenditure of money, seemingly behind his means. An internal audit was then initiated and determined that in a span of just a few months...Vaughn issued at least 25 checks to himself for more than 7-hundred thousand dollars.
Meanwhile, the University terminated Vaughn on Wednesday morning.
Olash says, "They have frozen his accounts, and they've searched his office."
Olash also says that put even more of a hardship on his client. "He was terminated today but the last check he got...it went into his account but because his account is frozen he didn't realize any money so he's in a tough spot trying to support his family and pay his bills."

leaves. "Am I so lame that I didn't know these were marijuana plants?" she
laughed, pointing to the green botanical print of her Vena Cava bustier
Also playing model for the night were Nora Zehetner, the actress; Arden
Wohl, the headband-wearing filmmaker socialite; Annie Clark, the
singer-songwriter who performs as St. Vincent; and Hailey Gates, a childhood
friend who Buhai promises "will be wildly famous soon." The NYU experimental
theater student landed the July/August cover of Jalouse and her dinner
partner was Waris Ahluwalia, so we'd say she's well on her way.

Row over "lack of ambition" claim at Worcester City Council
5:15pm Wednesday 5th February 2014 in News By Tom Edwards, Political Reporter
THE former leader of Worcester City Council has accused rival politicians of "lacking ambition" over handing services to new providers.
Councillor Simon Geraghty has called for more urgency over hiving out departments to outside bodies, saying he is disappointed that the process has slowed down since he was ousted from power.
But his criticism has been rejected as "hypocrisy" by the Labour leadership, which says nothing is off the agenda.
Back in 2012 the old Conservative administration revealed it wanted to examine every single service to see if they could be handed over.
The tactic, known as commissioning, can include the private sector, voluntary groups, not-for-profit bodies, charities, new enterprises or even other councils.
A more detailed wish list was then drawn up including bin collections, museum services and leisure.
Cllr Geraghty was ousted as city council leader in a coup last May after Labour teamed up with the Liberal Democrats.
Cllr Geraghty, now opposition Tory group leader, said: "There is a lack of ambition at this council over commissioning - where is the ambition to deliver the best value-for-money services for taxpayers?
"I'm not an instinctive outsourcer, if I wanted to do that I'd have done it seven years ago (after he became leader).
"I've now lost confidence with what this council agreed, particularly in areas like the bins service.
"This council needs to look at it again, start with the really big services and see if we can squeeze every last penny out of the taxpayers' pound."
His comments, made during a meeting of the performance, management and budget scrutiny committee, were rejected by other politicians.
Councillor Joy Squires, from the Labour Party, said: "I remember it being said (by the Labour leadership) that no stone will be left unturned.
"That was stated very clearly by the cabinet, nothing is being ruled out."
After the meeting Councillor Richard Boorn, cabinet member for finance, said: "This isn't about policy, it's about headline making.
"He knows we are going to look at everything, this is hypocrisy."
The council needs to save £4.1 million by 2019, largely due to unprecedented cuts in Government funding.
It plans to look again at commissioning as part of balancing the books.

This chap really doesn't do himself any favours though - he needs to go. As frankly, do the rest of the council. Their infighting, bickering, indecisiveness, squabling, incompetence and general lack of business acumen or care for their constituents, continues to get headlines but achieves nothing other than wasting more time and more of OUR money.
If anyone thinks the politicians have the solutions to any of our problems, then they are sadly misguided. They only cause mayhem and perpetuate more cost and more problems. Frankly, I'm done with the lot of them.

Reviews for Fresh Broccoli/Mandarin Salad
Sort By :
This salad was DELICIOUS!! The different combination of ingredients was outstanding...the yummy custard dressing really made it. I made the recipe as written & wouldn't change a thing. Thanks, Connie.
Doubled the recipe for my church group. Several wanted the recipe. I will definately make this again. The ingredients work really well together. I will leave out the mushrooms as I don't find they add anything.
I used about half of the dressing when I tossed it together. Too sweet for my husband but not for me. Served it with grilled talipia.
I've made similar broccoli salads but none with the yummy custard dressing and mandarin slices. Excellent recipe and this will be another of my favorites from Taste of Home. p.s. I didn't have a red onion but used a Georgia Vildalia onion instead.
Ground mustard is a spice, powder form.

North America is a dynamic migration region, with the United States home to more immigrants than any other country in the world, the Mexico-U.S. corridor the globe's top migration corridor, and Canada a leading destination for migrants. Research collected here focuses on everything from visa policy and border management to immigrant integration, national identity, the demographics of immigrants in the region and their educational and workforce outcomes, and ways to more effectively use migration policy as a lever for national and regional competitiveness.
Find relevant MPI resources on the child migration crisis—from research, articles, and public briefings that analyze the trends and policy developments surrounding the recent uptick in migration of unaccompanied minors to data on Central American immigrant populations and country profiles of El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras—all in one place. Click here.
The U.S. immigrant population—estimated at 40.8 million in 2012 — is the nation's historical numerical high, and it is also the largest foreign-born population in the world. About 20 percent of all international migrants reside in the United States, even as the country accounts for less than 5 percent of global population. This article presents the latest, most sought-after data on immigrants in the United States—by origin, residence, legal status, deportations, languages spoken, and more—in one easy-to-use resource.
Arizona's simmering frustration with the federal immigration system—which has failed to stop illegal immigration through Arizona's border with Mexico — officially boiled over when the state legislature passed and Governor Jan Brewer signed SB 1070 in April 2010.
The writing was on the wall by late 2009, but 2010 confirmed the migration trends glimpsed months earlier in major immigrant-receiving countries: the global recession that began in late 2007 caused migration flows to drop, halting rapid immigrant population growth, and it pushed unemployment levels for some immigrants far higher than those of the native born.
The results of the 2010 elections seem likely to ensure a standoff on any immigration legislation and more immigration enforcement measures at the state level, as
MPI's Muzaffar Chishti and Claire Bergeron report. Also in this edition: Boeing no longer working on virtual fence, temporary protected status extended for Somalis, ban on unauthorized immigrant students at certain Georgia state universities, and more.
While the number of people detained reached a five-year high of over 383,000, apprehensions hit a 34-year low of 613,000 in 2009. MPI's Jeanne Batalova and Kristen McCabe examine the latest immigration enforcement data in this updated Spotlight.
Nearly 200 localities in the United States have seriously considered policies intended to restrict immigration or its impact. Kevin O'Neil of Princeton University analyzes the types of laws local governments pursue and the reasons they take action.
This report provides an overview of diaspora advocacy by looking at five issues: who participates in diaspora advocacy, who or what are the "targets" in these efforts, what means are used to advance these causes, what are the issues on which they focus, and the effectiveness of the efforts.
This book takes stock of the impact of the crisis on immigrant integration in Europe and the United States. It assesses where immigrants have lost ground, using evidence such as levels of funding for educational programs, employment rates, trends toward protectionism, public opinion, and levels of discrimination.
This brief argues that an essential first step to any type of U.S. legalization must be a registration process that rapidly identifies, screens, and processes potential applicants. The government could successfully administer a large-scale legalization only with a well-crafted bill, sufficient funding, an unprecedented mobilization of public and private stakeholders, and intensive planning.
This edited volume examines the development impact of diasporas in six critical areas: entrepreneurship, capital markets, "nostalgia" trade and "heritage" tourism, philanthropy, volunteerism, and advocacy.
Commissioner Bersin details his agenda for his agency and discusses illegal immigration, border enforcement, the impact to the economy on migration flows, the future of the Secure Border Initiative, drug trafficking, and other topics in this wide-ranging conversation with MPI Senior Fellow Doris Meissner and the audience.
Immigrants have been disproportionately hit by the global economic crisis that began in 2008 and now confront a number of challenges. The report, which has a particular focus on Germany, Ireland, Spain, the United Kingdom, and United States finds that the unemployment gap between immigrant and native workers has widened in many places.
This important MPI report challenges the conventional wisdom about the immigrant workforce, using a sophisticated new method of analysis that permits deeper examination of how workers – immigrant and native-born – fare by economic sector, the skill level of their jobs, and educational attainment.
This report explores how nostalgia trade and heritage tourism can involve diaspora populations in transactions that ease the integration of their homeland economies, while helping maintain their ties to their countries of origin or ancestry.

The alleged incident occurred at the intersection of Hull Road and 78 Highway after the fire department responded to a wreck call at that intersection. The wreck was on the Sumiton side of the highway so Sumiton Police Department and Sumiton Fire and Rescue worked the wreck.
Sides said he was talking to a Dora police officer near the scene when the Dora firefighter approached and told him to leave. Sides said he left, but returned and engaged in a verbal altercation with the firefighter.
The firefighter filed a report with Sumiton police later that day and warrants were issued for harassment and disorderly conduct on Tuesday.
Sides was informed of the warrants and voluntarily turned himself in to the department Wednesday.
Sides said the ongoing political tensions in the city contributed to the escalation of the incident, "I allowed a young individual to provoke me to lose my cool," Sides said. "But, this has been boiling for a while."
Sides and the fire department have been split on several issues this term, including the appointment of Chris Edwards as fire chief and the pay rate for the chief's position. Edwards was appointed as the permanent fire chief by Mayor Randy Stephens two weeks after the council voted to reappoint him on a temporary basis. The council then failed to agree on a pay rate, prompting outrage from the department. The situation was eventually resolved, but tensions have remained on both sides.
Sides said he was disappointed this happened, but commended the Sumiton Police Department for its handling of a potentially ugly situation. "I have complete respect for the Sumiton Police Department," Sides said. "They handled it in a very professional manner."
Sides was released on a bond of $50 for each charge and the $35 bond fee.
Both charges are Class C misdemeanors. The fine, if found guilty, is no more than $500 for each count.

Seligenstadt Sankt Marcellinus und Petrus 2012
The pilgrimage church "St. Marcellinus and Petrus" in "Seligenstadt" was built in the year 830 over the grave of the martyrs Marcellinus and Petrus. The original central nave of the church (9th Century) is still preserved. The Romanesque interior was completed in the 13th Century with a Gothic choir annex with an impressive tower. In 1725, the basilica was rebuilt in Baroque style. The Einhardsbasilika is the only Carolingian church north of the Alps, with liturgical worship services.

Revised January 2007
Is drug addiction a disease?
Yes. Addiction is a chronic, relapsing disease that affects the brain and causes compulsive drug seeking and use despite harmful consequences.
- How is addiction a disease? Addiction is considered a brain disease because drugs change the brain—in structure and in function. It's true that for most people, the initial decision to take drugs is voluntary. Over time, however, drug abuse can cause changes to the brain that erode a person's self control and ability to make sound decisions, while sending intense impulses to take drugs.
- What is its course? Drug addiction is a chronic, relapsing disease—like diabetes, asthma, or heart disease—and it can be managed successfully. Treatment helps people to counteract addiction's powerful disruptive effects and regain control of their lives. And just as with other chronic diseases, relapses are not uncommon. But relapse does not signal failure—rather, it indicates that treatment should be reinstated or adjusted to help the addict fully recover.
Why do some people become addicted, while others do not?
No single factor can predict whether or not a person will become addicted to drugs. Risk for addiction is influenced by a person's biology, social environment, and development. The more risk factors an individual has, the greater the chance that taking drugs can lead to addiction. For example:
- Biology. The genes that people are born with– in combination with environmental influences– account for about half of their addiction vulnerability. Additionally, gender, ethnicity, and the presence of mental disorders may influence risk for drug abuse and addiction.
- Environment. A person's environment includes many different influences– from family and friends to socioeconomic status and quality of life in general. Factors such as peer pressure, physical and sexual abuse, stress, and parental involvement can greatly influence the course of drug abuse and addiction in a person's life.
- Development. Genetic and environmental factors interact with critical developmental stages in a person's life to affect addiction vulnerability– with adolescents experiencing a double threat. Although taking drugs at any age can lead to addiction, the earlier drug use begins, the more likely it is to progress to more serious abuse. And because adolescents' brains are still developing in the areas that govern decisionmaking, judgment, and self-control, they are especially prone to risk-taking behaviors, including trying drugs of abuse.
How do drugs work in the brain?
Drugs tap into the brain's communication system and disrupt the way nerve cells normally send, receive, and process information. Drugs work in the brain by:
- Imitating natural neurotransmitters (chemical messengers in the brain). Because of the similarity in chemical structure between drugs and neurotransmitters naturally produced by the brain, some drugs, such as marijuana and heroin, are able to "fool" the brain's receptors and activate nerve cells to send abnormal messages via the network.
- Overstimulating the reward system by flooding the circuit with dopamine. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter present in regions of the brain that regulate movement, emotion, motivation, and feelings of pleasure. And nearly all drugs of abuse, directly or indirectly, activate this system. Some drugs, particularly stimulants like methamphetamine and cocaine, cause nerve cells to release abnormally large amounts of natural neurotransmitters or prevent their normal recycling, which is needed to shut off the signal between neurons.
What happens to your brain if you keep taking drugs?
- The brain adapts. In response to the overwhelming surges in dopamine, the brain adjusts by decreasing the number of dopamine receptors available– thus diminishing the function of the reward circuit. Drug addicts are compelled to abuse drugs to bring their dopamine function back up to normal, requiring ever larger amounts to achieve the initial dopamine high– an effect known as tolerance.
- Changes in neurotransmitters other than dopamine. Long-term abuse causes changes in other brain chemical systems, including glutamate, a neurotransmitter that influences the reward circuit and the ability to learn. When the optimal concentration of glutamate is altered by drug abuse, the brain attempts to compensate, which can cause impairment in cognitive function.
- Drug abuse can trigger nonconscious memory systems. Conditioning is one example of this type of learning, whereby environmental cues, such as certain people or places, become associated with the drug experience and can trigger uncontrollable cravings if the individual is exposed to these cues, even without the drug itself being available.
- Addiction. Brain imaging studies of drug-addicted individuals show changes in areas of the brain that are critical to judgment, decisionmaking, learning and memory, and behavior control. These changes are likely what drive an abuser to seek out and take drugs compulsively despite adverse consequences.
Can addiction be treated successfully?
Yes. Research shows that combining addiction treatment medications, where available, with behavioral therapy is the best way to ensure success for most patients. Treatment approaches that are tailored to address each patient's drug abuse patterns and co-occurring medical, psychiatric, and social problems can lead to sustained recovery and a life without drug abuse.
Addiction need not be a life sentence.

Taylor Wimpey's highly successful 122-apartment development in the heart of Glasgow, The Argyle Building, has just welcomed its 100th buyer, 82-year-old Mr Anderson.
Clearly delighted with his purchase and with a shrewd eye for a good deal, Mr Anderson says: "Taylor Wimpey has really got this development right - the location and price of the apartments offers an incredible opportunity for buyers like me to make a great investment, and indeed many of my neighbours are much younger first-time buyers who've been able to make their first investment in property here, because the prices have remained affordable."
Standing tall in the heart of the city with outstanding views over Glasgow and the mighty River Clyde, The Argyle Building's modern choice of one- and two-bedroom apartments offers an ideal home for those who love city-centre living, and is a striking addition to the city skyline. Prices start at just £138,000 for the final one-bedroom apartment, and from £141,000 for two-bedroom apartments.
The Argyle Building has been a phenomenal success despite the challenging market conditions, and, as Mr Anderson observed, has proved attractive to a broad base of buyers hoping to find a property at an affordable price in the city.
Taylor Wimpey's Sales and Marketing Director Audrey Ross says: "The combination of location, specification, price, and immediate availability of apartments has been a winning formula at The Argyle. First-time buyers have found our prices within their reach, whilst investors have seen the Building's potential. Airline pilots flying out of Glasgow Airport have found it an excellent base; and parents buying flats for children studying in Glasgow have also been among the satisfied purchasers."
For more information or to view these new homes in Glasgow, Taylor Wimpey's sales and marketing suite at 490 Argyle Street, is open Thursday to Saturday from 11.00am until 5.30pm.

The Run for the Animals 3K is a unique race, not just because of its cause, but because of its roots.
The race will be held at Monmouth Battlefield State Park in Manalapan on June 16 and will the benefit the Monmouth County SCPA in Eatontown. Owners and their dogs are invited to participate in the fourth annual race, which also includes a 40-yard Doggie Dash for canines.
The idea behind the Run for the Animals race came from Robert Murphy, 16, who attends Freehold Township High School and started the race four years ago.
"After I saw commercials on TV (for national animal welfare organizations) I wanted to help all the abused and neglected animals, but I wanted to do something big," Murphy said in a release. "I decided to combine this with my passion for running, and that's how the event started."
Murphy is the largest contributor to the Monmouth County SPCA under the age of 18 and that the 2011 race raised $7,000.
Race organizers say awareness about the race has helped participation increase every year. Over 400 people and 200 dogs participated in last year's race.
"We are excited to partner with the Run for the Animals again this year," Monmouth County SPCA Director of Development Meghan Rehbein said. "Robby Murphy and his family have helped build this event into a major fundraiser for us."
Registration for the race is currently underway and entrants who sign-up by May 27 qualify for the $10 entrance fee and will qualify for a free race T-shirt.
The Doggie Dash starts at 10 a.m. and all dogs must be registered for the dash with a $1 fee. Dogs must must be on a leash and accompanied by their owner at all times.
While dogs need to be signed up for the dash they can run in the 3K for free with owners when the race starts at 10:15 a.m.
To learn more about about the race or to download a registration form visit www.runanimals.zoomshare.com.

Another winner from Cascade. This is a really nice cool weather gose. Lots of funky fruit wafts out and assails the olfactory. Has a mulled wine character, lots of spice, orange, clove. Very nice.
Palate confirms with sour fruit, spice, funk. Pretty nicely balanced with a finish that lingers and demands another taste.
Worth trying if it's on tap. They also have a warm version that one of my friends enjoyed (not always). I guess they warm it with fresh fruit and spice for an even crazier finished brew in the cold weather!

On tap at Monk's Kettle. Labeled on the board as "fall gose," but autumn, fall, what's the difference? I mean if I said, "I just took a really bad autumn down the stairs," I'm sure you'd know what I was talking about.
Brilliant clear reddish color with a white head that leaves a ring around the glass.
Aroma is very fruity and mildly tart. I get strawberry and cherry.
Flavor is also tart and somewhat fruity. Wheat, sour cherry, and red berries stand out.
Medium bodied with soft carbonation and only mild acidity.
Drinkability is really good. So this is what a gose is, is it? I may need to try more of these, as this one is pretty good.

This beer is fantastic.
Rusty, clear red-orange color. Light head, not much lace. Although, that might have to do with the fact that it was in a sampler glass.
Smells of sweet berry and citrus. Orange and blackberry come to mind.
The taste is fruity with a definite sourness. Orange and nectarine start it with a slight spice. Chili powder? Then you get the salty top notes that linger a bit to the crisp finish.
Light with a notisable carbonation.
Definitly drinkable. I could drink it all freakin' day. Wonderful.

On tap at the barrel room today.
The beer pours a honey amber color with good head retention and lacing. The nose is impressive, showing honey, ginger and juniper berries. On the palate, the beer is lightly sweet initially, but with some delightful light sour coming on at the finish. The mid palate delivers orange and cherry flavor, with a hint of caramel. This is just delicious. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with good flavor intensity and a fairly long finish. Drinkability is exceptional, with the alcohol completely undetectable. Very nice beer...

On draught at the brewpub, served into a slender tulip, Autumn Gose is a chill hazed auburn with a nice, creamy sand colored head leaving scattered, foamy lace.
Smell is at first rather soft, as it's served too cold for my taste, with overipe oranges, salt and a hint of cider vinegar developing as it warms. Very appetizing.
Taste is very complex and satisfying, with a nice balanced spiciness tempered by the enjoyable saltiness. A nice lacto pucker and amber malt sweetness, a hint of spices and a touch fruity, this has huge flavor for the size. Wow.
Mouthfeel is slick, medium light and dry.
Drinkability is extremely high. This is a great beer, extremely complex, with the sourness and spices, but all restrained enough to make it very sessionable. I found this to be much better then their summer gose, although I was not in a situation to study that one as well.

If I have this right, the Autumn Gose is a wheat beer brewed with orange peel, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt. It gets a primary fermentation with a regular saccharomyces ale yeast and a secondary with lactobacillus bacteria. Conceptually, it sounds strange, and the use of salt sounds unappetizing. But this is a wonderful sour ale.
The Raccoon Lodge serves the Gose in a slender goblet. It emits an inviting sour pungence. Tiny bubbles rise from a sexy, gold-auburn body with a rimmed head. The taste is lacto- sour but not overpowering. The spices add a mild complexity but don't feature prominently. The overall expression is one of sharp, succinct lines that hold one's attention. A measure of cherry cola taste can also be discerned.
Classy and beautiful. A rarity I could drink this all night.

On tap at Raccoon Lodge 11/27 12 oz. pour.
Reddish amber clear brew, not much off-white head, decent carbonation, no lacing. Fruit and spice in nose, no hops present. Cardamon, nutmeg cinnamon, a bit of nuttiness on the taste, citrusy from orange peel, though a bit of lemony esters present, very tasty. Really dry finish, very tart. Another winner from Northwest's finest sour brewer. An unbelievable treat, extremely drinkable, worth seeking out, and really looking forward to the release of winter version (with cranberries!) in near future.

A - Pours a fairly dark-for-the-style deep amber with a thin head and just a slight bit of lacing.
S - Mild tart notes. Fruity like strawberry and peach. Hint of wheat.
T - A wonderful sour - good fruitiness, mostly peach and cherry on the tongue. Nicely tart but not truly sour in my book, nor vinegary, which is good for my preference. Salt is not readily detectable until after you swallow. Lick your lips or inside of your gums and you can taste the salt left over. Nice balance and a real winner on taste.
M - Light carbonation and medium body. Slightly slick feeling on the tongue. No real acidic bite.
D - Sky high if you like a mild sour. Low ABV would make this sessionable, and the flavors are simply enjoyable. Wonderful on tap.

Three south suburban men have been sentenced to more than 20 years in prison each for breaking into a home and robbing a woman and her young son at gunpoint in 2011.
Circuit Judge Amy Bertani-Tomczak sentenced Larnell Weston, 29, of Dixmoor; and Ternell Weston, 26, of Calumet Park, to 23 years in prison, according to a statement from the Will County State's Attorney's office. She sentenced Raunchino James, 27, of Chicago Heights, to 21 years.
The men were convicted of home invasion, residential burglary and armed robbery in a January bench trial, a statement from prosecutors said.
"Our citizens have an absolute right to feel safe inside their homes," Will County State's Attorney James Glasgow said in the statement. "These three armed thugs not only stole cash and belongings from these innocent people, they completely violated their sense of security, and for that they are going to prison for a long time."
The trio kicked in the door of a University Park home early on Feb. 19, 2011, according to prosecutors. They pointed guns at a woman and her 12-year-old son, and demanded money as the boy pleaded with the men not to hurt his mother.
The men then ransacked the home and fled with cash, an Xbox, video games, a laptop computer, camera, camcorder and other items, according to the state's attorney's office.
University Park police found the men in a nearby wooded area, and they ran into an apartment building, where they were arrested, according to prosecutors.
