Police appeal over soccer violence
7:53am Monday 19th May 2014 in National News © Press Association 2014
Photo issued by the Metropolitan Police of a man detectives would like to identify after trouble at the QPR v Wigan Championship semi-final at Loftus Road in west London.
Police are appealing for help in identifying five men they would like to speak to after pushing and shoving "turned nasty" during a football match.
The violence erupted during the QPR v Wigan Championship play-off semi-final at Loftus Road, in Shepherd's Bush, west London, Scotland Yard said.
It kicked off during the second half of the game when stewards attempted to remove a fan from the upper tier of the South Africa Road stand at the match last Monday.
Chief Superintendent Colin Morgan from Specialist Crime and Operations Public Order Branch said: "This incident started with some pushing and shoving at the top of the stand.
"It quickly turned nasty as a large group of supporters and stewards fell and were forced backwards down the steep stairway that separates the stands.
"It was made worse by some supporters who then chose to punch, push and kick at the stewards. It was pure luck that no one was badly hurt. We will deal robustly with those responsible for disorder, whether inside or outside football venues, and we will bring them to court."
Anyone who is able to identify any of the men pictured is asked to contact officers from Operation Arrowtip on 020 8246 0076 between 08.00 and 16.00hrs.
Operation Arrowtip is the Metropolitan Police Service's ongoing response to football-related disorder and criminality.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Coroner's officials have ruled Whitney Houston died by drowning, but heart disease and cocaine use were contributing factors.
The announcement Thursday ends weeks of speculation about what killed the Grammy-winning singer on Feb. 11.
Houston was found submerged in the bathtub of her room at the Beverly Hilton Hotel on the eve of the Grammy Awards.
Several bottles of prescription medications were found in her hotel room, but coroner's officials said they weren't in excessive quantities.
Coroner's spokesman Craig Harvey says cocaine metabolites were found in Houston's system, and it was listed as a contributing factor in her death. He says the results indicated Houston was a chronic cocaine user.

By ERRIN HAINESAssociated Press
ATLANTA (AP) - Georgia's labor commissioner says the state's unemployment rate has declined for the sixth straight month to 9.2%.
That number is down from a revised rate of 9.4% in December, and is the lowest rate since March 2009, when it was 9.1%.
The jobless rate was 10.1% in January 2011. Since then, Commissioner Mark Butler says the state has gained nearly 84,000 jobs, which he cites as the largest year-to-year increase since 2006.
Gains point to growth in sectors including health care, retail, trade, manufacturing and business services.
About 13,000 more Georgians returned to the workforce between December and January, typically a period of decline due to the loss of seasonal jobs. Butler says the numbers indicate "Georgia businesses are starting to show confidence in the economy."

Town Square
Opinion Pleasanton Election Endorsements Are Out
Original post made by Stacey on Oct 22, 2008
But allow me a moment to take those guys to task... Tsk tsk, guys! I see you haven't done your homework. I suggest you do what I did and ask the traffic engineering department about traffic light synchronization in Pleasanton instead of basing your boisterous opinions upon mere assumptions.
on Oct 22, 2008 at 9:08 pm
I guess now is the time to spill the beans...
- In 2001, Dublin, Pleasanton, and Livermore received funding to upgrade the traffic communication systems.
- Traffic light synchronization began roughly in 2002. The patterns put in place at that time were not really optimized though. Within the last 2 years more time has been spent to make adjustments to the programming in order to increase the level of coordination that occurs.
- Example streets with coordination: Santa Rita Rd., Valley where it crosses Santa Rita, Hopyard Rd., and Stanley/First from Bernal/Valley to Bernal. Coordination patterns on these streets run only during certain peak times.
- Stoneridge, to my dismay, is not coordinated. Surprisingly, coordination does not work well on Stoneridge because the volume of traffic through the business park is too small!
That's it in a nutshell. There is a lot more detail I could add, but I think it is best left for another time. I learned that the reasons behind traffic can be complex and the solutions are equally complex. There's no one single solution that will fix our traffic problems. It will be a combination of things.
I thank Mr. Tassano for taking the time to answer my questions. I, like OpinionPleasanton, held the perception that there was no traffic light synchronization. I think a little "horn tooting" will dispel that assumption.
on Oct 23, 2008 at 12:05 pm
I am glad that you took the time to contact the City with your signal timing questions. It sounds as though I was able to answer your questions.
Traffic Engineering welcomes the opportunity to answer questions, comments and concerns regarding our traffic signal system. As I mentioned to Stacey in my response to her email, it is not our intention to add delay to anyone's travel through Pleasanton. If you see a problem with the signals we want to hear about it, as it may be a malfunctioning signal, and if it is not, we should be able to explain the reason for the operation of the signal.
If you have questions, please do not hesitate to email me directly at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Mike Tassano
Director of Transportation
City of Pleasanton
on Oct 24, 2008 at 7:47 pm
Let me quote from the PW a few weeks ago:
Brozosky said the public is also frustrated over the failure of the Hosterman administration to make any headway on resolving traffic congestion, a promise in the last election campaign.
"When you have a traffic department of only 2-1/2 people--with one designated to planning and the other full-time employee to maintenance, you have less than one person who responsible for traffic coordination for the whole city," he said. "Traffic signals aren't working the way they should be which is causing drivers to find alternate routes through residential neighborhoods."
Even though he sat on the council he does not have a clue what's going on in the city traffic department!!! And yet he has his supporters!

Plenty more preview and analysis at SB Nation's Georgia Tech blog, From The Rumble Seat, and our Iowa blog, Black Heart, Gold Pants. When the game kicks-off, join them for discussion, party here in this StoryStream for live updates and head over to EDSBS where Spencer Hall will be live-blogging a college football game for the final time this season. It's an Orange Bowl jamboree!
GAME NOTES: The 76th annual Orange Bowl is set for January 5th, as the 10th- ranked Iowa Hawkeyes and the ninth-ranked Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets square off at Land Shark Stadium in Miami Gardens.
The Yellow Jackets posted an 11-win campaign and captured their first outright ACC title since 1990, topping Clemson in the ACC Championship Game, 39-34. Paul Johnson's squad opened the season with a pair of victories before suffering its only league loss at Miami on September 17th (33-17). Tech rebounded nicely though, with eight straight victories to capture the ACC's Coastal Division crown and spot in the conference championship game. The team suffered its only other defeat at the hands of rival Georgia (30-24) in the regular season finale, but was able to earn the BCS bowl bid with a thrilling win over Clemson for the conference crown. The season earned Johnson his second straight ACC Coach of the Year award.
Georgia Tech is playing in its 13th consecutive bowl game and is 22-15 in the postseason all-time, including a 3-2 mark in the Orange Bowl. The Yellow Jackets have not had much success in the postseason of late, losing their last four bowl games, including a 38-3 rout at the hands of LSU in last year's Chick-fil-A Bowl.
Kirk Ferentz's Hawkeyes were not as fortunate in their bid for a conference championship this year, as back-to-back losses to Northwestern (17-10) and Ohio State (27-24 OT) in November prevented the Big Ten title and Rose Bowl bid from landing in Iowa City. Still, the team reeled off a 10-win campaign, winning nine straight to open the year and ended the regular season on a high, with a 12-0 shutout of Minnesota to place second in the Big Ten and earn the Orange Bowl bid.
Iowa is making its 24th bowl appearance and is 12-10-1 in its previous postseason play. The Hawkeyes have played in the Orange Bowl just one time before, that being a 38-17 loss to USC in 2003.
Iowa is 0-7 all-time against the ACC, while Georgia Tech is 6-6 in 12 matchups against the Big Ten. However, this is the first-ever meeting between these two teams on the gridiron.
Unlike a lot of teams in the Big Ten, Iowa utilized more of a balanced attack this season, instead of relying heavily on the run. The Hawkeyes had their moments when the ground game took center stage, but on the year, the team averaged a rather pedestrian 109.4 yards per game rushing, on 3.2 yards per carry. In addition, Iowa scored just 12 rushing touchdowns, all by tailbacks Adam Robinson (775 yards, five TDs) and Brandon Wegher (528 yards, seven TDs).
The passing attack was much more effective (221.3 ypg) as QB Ricky Stanzi completed 56 percent of his passes, for 2,186 yards and 15 TDs and came up huge late in big games when needed. The receiving corps lacked any real go-to- guy, but there were several reliable outlets on the season, in Derrell Johnson-Koulianos (41 receptions, for 687 yards, two TDs) and Marvin McNutt (30 receptions, for 653 yards, seven TDs).
A strong defense was really the key to Iowa's season, as the team limited the opposition to a mere 15.5 ppg. The team was stingy against both the run at 122.4 ypg, and the pass, where foes managed just 164.7 ypg, ranking eighth nationally in that category. The Hawkeyes thrived on big plays, racking up 29 takeaways this year, including 20 interceptions.
Several All-Big Ten First-Team members highlight the play on defense for Iowa. Linebacker Pat Angerer is one of them, after leading the team in tackles (135), with one sack, one INT and two forced fumbles. The secondary is highlighted by ball-hawking strong safety Tyler Sash (84 tackles, six INTs), while the defensive front's relentless pressure was spearheaded by defensive end Adrian Clayborn (61 tackles, 18.0 TFLs, 9.5 sacks). Other defenders of note include LB A.J. Edds (73 tackles, four INTs) and DE Broderick Binns (58 tackles, 9.0 TFLs, 6.0 sacks).
Iowa defensive coordinator Norm Parker knows the task at hand, considering Georgia Tech's electric offense.
"It's like coaching 20 years ago," he said, before adding, "but what these guys have done with this offense, they are, without question, they are the gurus of doing it. You've got to look at it and say these guys are really good. I mean, not only are they good at what they do, but they've got good players. They've done a great job."
The Yellow Jackets use a totally different approach to move the football, as they represent one of the most productive rushing teams in the nation thanks to a devastating spread offence. Georgia Tech finished the year second in the nation in rushing, churning out a ridiculous 307.2 yards per game on the ground, on a hefty 5.3 yards per carry.
It certainly helps to have one of the nation's premier tailbacks in Jonathan Dwyer (1,346 yards, 14 TDs) and an ultra-productive QB in Josh Nesbitt (991 yards rushing, 18 TDs). Throw a talented Anthony Allen (597 yards, five TDs) into the backfield, and this is a ground game that can strike at any time.
Nesbitt is critical to what Tech can accomplish on offense according to Coach Johnson.
"The key in any offense is to have a quarterback. Josh has certainly played well this year and he has done a good job running the offense and hopefully he will have a big game next Tuesday. He is a good athlete. Josh is a strong guy and he is very competitive. He is an athletic guy so he is a good runner as well as being able to throw the ball."
Despite the fact that Georgia Tech rarely goes to the air, Nesbitt has thrown for 1,689 yards and 10 TDs this season, thanks in large part to star wideout Demaryius Thomas. The 6-3, 230-pounder creates matchup problems down the field and comes into this game with 46 receptions, for 1,154 yards and eight TDs.
According to Thomas, it is "pick-you-poison" with his ability downfield.
"If you try and play a safety and a corner over the top of me then you don't have enough people in the box to stop the run. When we're running the ball well you have to have eight people in the box. That leaves me one-on-one and our offense is a vertical passing game so we can go deep on them and most of my catches can be for so many yards."
Keeping the defense fresh has been a key to Georgia Tech's success this year and a potent ground game has done just that, with Tech controlling the ball for just over 34 minutes per game. That has allowed the defense to make big plays, including 24 takeaways and 23 sacks.
The unit is highlighted by ACC Defensive Player of the Year and All-American rush end Derrick Morgan. The 6-4, 275-pounder put up a huge campaign, finishing the year with 52 tackles, 18.0 TFLs, 12.5 sacks, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries. The linebacking corps is highlighted by standouts Brad Jefferson (team-high 90 tackles, 8.0 TFLs, two forced fumbles) and Sedric Griffin (72 tackles). All-ACC Second-Teamer Morgan Burnett (77 tackles, 3.0 TFLs, four INTs) spearheads the play in the secondary.
Coach Johnson thinks that Iowa will present a unique challenge.
"Defensively, they're probably similar to North Carolina or Clemson in that they're big up front. They're just a good defensive team. Offensively, they kind of have a style of their own. They have some big offensive linemen and they try to run the ball at you and throw some play action. I don't think we've played anyone that resembles what they do offensively."
This game will come down to ball control and if Tech can get its ground game going, look for the Yellow Jackets to end their current bowl skein and finish the season on a strong note.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Georgia Tech 27, Iowa 21

Doctors are trying to answer the question: What came first, depression or a lack of sleep?
A study in rats shows after one week of getting four hours of sleep a day -- they had reduced function in parts of the brain that regulate mood. After a month of restricted sleep, their brains were making fewer cells.
Experts say their study proves the important role sleep plays in regulating our emotions.

[Note: Want your photos and/or write-ups from Bethel youth or recreational sports featured on ]
At one time, it seemed like every college and professional athlete had a nickname. Players weren't just identified by the name on their backs or number on the roster, but also by a colorful moniker they had been tagged with by a sportswriter or teammate. A nickname could spice up a story or add laughter to a locker room. For some reason, we've seen great nicknames become all but extinct.
The 1970's were a time of high-anxiety for our society and high-jinks in sports, where it seemed that it was mandatory to have a nickname. The Dallas Cowboys were loaded with great ones, like Ed "Too Tall" Jones, Randy "The Manster" (half-man, half-monster) White, and Roger "The Dodger" Staubauch. The Houston Oilers had Billy "White Shoes" Johnson and the Oakland Raiders had Kenny "The Snake" Stabler and Ted "The Stork" Hendricks. Man, those were the days. Baseball had Jim "Catfish" Hunter and John "Blue Moon" Odom, while the NBA gave us Wilt "The Stilt" Chamberlain, Walt "Clyde" Frazier, and Earvin "Magic" Johnson. Even hockey was creative and imaginative with the likes of Montreal's Maurice "Rocket" Richard and his brother, Henri, who was known at the "Pocket Rocket."
There were some colorful nicknames given to players from the Connecticut over the years. who played in the Major Leagues for the New York Yankees and Washington Senators, was tagged with the nickname "Spec" because of all the freckles he had on his face. That may seem cruel, but anything goes in the sports world and if the name fits, you may have to wear it, whether you like it or not.
was a schoolboy legend in Stamford before he turned 16-years old. A three-time All-State running back and gifted baseball player at Rippowam High School, Valentine became known around the city as "Bobby V."
If you mentioned Frank Vieira to a sports fan in the state, they might say "Who?" but if you say "Porky" Vieira, they'll be quick to say, "Oh, yeah. He's a basketball and baseball legend who averaged 28 points as senior at Bridgeport Central and built the New Haven baseball program into a national power."
"Porky" stood only 5'6" and is on Portuguese descent, so that's how the name came together that's what he's known as throughout the state. Not Frank. Not Vieira. Just "Porky."
There have been other colorful nicknames given to great players and coaches from the state. a former star at Masuk High School (Monroe) was the "G-Man". became the "Hit Dog" at Seton Hall University and with the Boston Red Sox. Rudy Johnson, a three-sport star at Branford High School, was known as "Scag." Howard Ives, a standout hockey player at Hamden High School was known simply as, "Butch."
Former basketball star at New Canaan High School, became known as "Wilky". Legendary Danbury football coach Ed Crotty was known as "Copper" and his name is splashed across the Hatters football stadium today. Joe Sikorski, own legend, was "The Bear." Does have a nickname? Does anybody else around the state have a good one? Where did they all go?
football player who died tragically in a car accident in mid-March, was known as "The Great Brandino", a beautiful moniker given to him by his grandfather and one that truly fit Brandon.
Why are there a lack of great nicknames in the sports world today? With the Internet and all the social media platforms, one would think there would be more memorable nicknames, not less. Perhaps, it was just more meaningful to sportswriters in an era gone by to be remembered for tagging someone with a name they could associated with. People are more creative today, not less. Maybe they're just trying to come up with a nickname for themselves and don't have time to worry about anyone else.
Bobby Hull, "The Golden Jet" and "Broadway Joe" Namath. How cool is that?
Patch wants to know your list of all-time favorite nicknames.

Months ago when the staff of the Breast Cancer Fund decided to launch a national campaign to secure passage of a federal ban on phthalates in kids' toys, lots of folks told us flat-out we were dreamers. Last week our dreams—and the dreams of a growing environmental health movement—came true. Congress passed (almost unanimously) the Consumer Product Safety Commission Reform Act, a massive toy safety bill that includes a first-ever federal ban on phthalates in toys. President Bush has indicated that he'll sign it.
Of course, this is significant because parents will no longer have to worry about their kids being exposed to these toxic chemicals, which have been linked to serious health problems including early puberty in girls, which is linked to breast cancer later in life. But there is a bigger story here.
With this vote, Congress took an important first step forward on what will be a long road toward reforming the way chemicals are regulated in the U.S. It's not that Congress is ahead of the curve: Washington, California and Vermont have already banned phthalates in toys, as have a dozen countries and the European Union. What's significant here is that federal policymakers are waking up to the reality that sweeping chemical policy reform is needed.
The other noteworthy—downright amazing—part of this victory is the movement behind it. The Breast Cancer Fund led a broad-based coalition of over 60 groups from around the country made up of moms, nurses, the faith community, health-affected groups, environmentalists, legislators and women's health advocates who organized press events, activated their constituencies and—in the process of doing so—helped make this victory possible.
And there were legislative champions: California State Assemblymember Fiona Ma, who introduced California legislation—co-sponsored by the Breast Cancer Fund and Environment California—that resulted in nation's first ban on phthalates in kids' toys; U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, who authored the original Senate amendment on phthalates and was fierce in her support of the measure; Sen. Barbara Boxer, who led the Senate negotiations on the phthalate ban and tenaciously defended it throughout three long months of negotiation with the House; and Representatives Henry Waxman, Jan Schakowsky and Diana DeGette, who led the fight on the House side and who served as steadfast and tireless advocates for the ban among their colleagues.
This legislation is a victory for children's health and safety and a major blow to the chemical industry, which spent millions of dollars trying to defeat it. The coalition effort that convinced Congress to support the phthalates ban points to a growing movement calling for major chemical policy reform.
On behalf of the Breast Cancer Fund board and staff, I send out our deep gratitude to every parent, policymaker and public health advocate that helped make this remarkable success possible. We're not resting yet, but it's time to celebrate how far we've come together.

HUNTINGTON — The Barnes Agency is 10 years old this year, and the Hurricane-based advertising, marketing and public relations agency is celebrating its landmark birthday by expanding to an office in downtown Huntington.
Huntington is familiar turf to Jeff Barnes, the agency's founder, president and sole owner. Barnes grew up in Charleston but moved to Huntington in 1996 to become vice president of marketing at St. Mary's Medical Center. Later, he played a similar role with Genesis Hospital System, the short-lived affiliation of St. Mary's, Cabell Huntington and Pleasant Valley hospitals.
In 2003, he opened his own ad agency in Hurricane, figuring that the Putnam County location would make it convenient to serve clients in both Charleston and Huntington.
Not surprisingly, given Barnes' background, most of the firm's early clients were in the health care field. Since then, the agency's client list has dramatically expanded to include names in the banking industry, the legal profession, retailing, tourism and manufacturing. A list of clients on the agency's web site includes more than 50 names, including heavy-hitters such as West Virginia United Health System and The Greenbrier resort.
Initially, the firm employed three people. Today, it employs eight people and is looking to add additional staff.
The agency's Huntington-area client list includes Marshall University and MU athletics, the Big Sandy Superstore Arena and First State Bank of Barboursville. Even before cutting the ribbon at its new office suite at 3rd Avenue and 10th Street, the agency landed the Huntington law firm of Greene, Ketchum, Farrell, Bailey & Tweel as a new client.
Barnes said he could have expanded his agency into Charleston instead of Huntington but noted that when he sounded out members of the Huntington business community about the possible move "without exception they were excited by the prospect of having us." That enthusiasm made his decision an easy one, he said.
Tracy Straub will manage the agency's Huntington office as director of client services. A public relations and marketing professional with more than 15 years of experience, Straub came to the agency from Marshall University, where she managed the school's scholarship and endowment programs. Prior to that, she worked with the Huntington Regional Chamber of Commerce.
"We are eager to put our skills to work helping businesses in our community become more successful," Straub said. "If our activity over the past few weeks is an indicator of how successful we are going to be in the Huntington region, then we are in for one heck of a ride."
The agency's new office is located only a few doors away from the former Stone & Thomas department store that's being redeveloped by Marshall as a downtown center for its visual arts programs. Barnes says he's negotiating with Marshall to work closely with the new center by adding two paid student interns to the office staff.
Barnes noted his agency has a long history of doing pro bono work for nonprofit organizations and said he intends to expand that role in Huntington. As a first step, he has joined the board of directors of the Huntington Area Food Bank and is assisting it with a revamped public relations and marketing effort, including the design of a new logo, soon to be introduced.
Susan Barnes, the agency's vice president and chief operating officer, is also president of the board of directors for the Ronald McDonald House in Huntington.
"Philanthropy is very important to the Barnes Agency," Straub said. "Jeff made that clear during my interview and I knew, at that moment, that this was the job for me.
"I am thrilled to be part of such a talented staff and to work for an agency that makes giving back to their community a priority."

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- General Electric Co. is challenging the fair-market value of its massive Appliance Park campus in southeast Louisville -- a move that could cut the company's property tax bill by nearly half.
At stake is about $200,000 in annual revenue for taxing districts like Jefferson County Public Schools, Louisville Metro government, the commonwealth of Kentucky, and the Okolona fire department, according to a WDRB.com analysis based on last year's tax rates.
The challenge comes amid a renaissance in jobs and investment at Appliance Park, for which GE has separately been promised more than $20 million in taxpayer-funded economic development incentives from the state and Louisville Metro government.
Jefferson County Property Valuation Administrator Tony Lindauer argues Appliance Park's land and buildings are more valuable now that GE has invested $800 million in recent years and added 3,000 jobs since 2010, according to the company's figures.
The PVA raised the park's assessment from $30.9 million -- its taxable value since at least 2007 -- to $41.9 million as of Jan. 1, 2013. The change means higher property taxes for GE beginning with this year's tax bills, which will be mailed to property owners throughout the county next month and are due by Dec. 31.
But GE says Appliance Park -- which is actually broken into 24 parcels taxed separately -- is worth only $22.6 million, according to documents filed with the Kentucky Board of Tax Appeals.
"GE Appliances disagrees with the County PVA's increase to Appliance Park's assessed property values," GE spokeswoman Kim Freeman said in an emailed statement. "We have filed the appeal and as part of that process will engage a credentialed professional appraiser to demonstrate the appropriate taxable value of the land and buildings."
Freeman declined to comment further until the case is heard by the board of tax appeals.
A successful appeal would reduce GE's annual property tax payments to about $238,000, from about $440,000, according to WDRB.com's analysis, which assumes no change from 2012 tax rates.
Lindauer said the re-assessment was prompted by improvements at the park, particularly the permits GE took out to add a data center.
Lindauer said it will be up to the Kentucky Board of Tax Appeals to sort out the dispute in the coming months.
"Right now we are stuck on our figure, and they (GE) are stuck on theirs," he said.
But Lindauer said it's "possible" he could ask the appeal board for a lower assessment than his current $41.9 million after he and his staff toured Appliance Park on Tuesday and saw the condition of some of the buildings.
"The buildings are still the same, but they invested in the line and in people; that is where their investment is," Lindauer said, summarizing GE's representations to his office.
Worker payroll and factory machinery are taxed separately from land and buildings, which are at issue here.
About 6,000 people work at Appliance Park, and estimates of its footprint range from 770 acres (Louisville Metro government) to 900 acres (GE). The park has six factory buildings -- five of which currently house production lines -- and a large warehouse in addition to ancillary buildings, Freeman said. (Map of Appliance Park's location).
In 2009, GE decided to breathe new life in the 1950s-era factory.
After a major overhaul and wage concessions by the park's unionized workforce, GE began making GeoSpring hybrid water heaters in February 2012. It was Appliance Park's first new product line in more than 50 years, according to the company.
That was followed last year by a new French-door refrigerator operation; the first phase of production of a new dishwasher model; and a new line for high-efficiency top-loading washers. Finally, GE began making a frontload washer and matching dryer earlier this year.
The state and metro government have promised GE substantial taxpayer-funded incentives in exchange for the reinvestment and new jobs.
In 2012, Kentucky approved GE to receive $20.5 million from the state coffers over a 10-year period, assuming GE maintains its projected jobs and investment. The state had originally offered $10 million in 2009, but the deal was sweetened as GE upped its ambitions for Appliance Park.
In 2009, the Metro Council unanimously passed an ordinance creating a special tax-increment finance district for Appliance Park. The arrangement allows GE to keep 80 percent of the new Metro government occupational taxes generated by the addition of workers at the park, up to $2.5 million over 10 years.
GE activated the agreement this year and will begin receiving the money starting next year, according to David Morris, deputy director of the Louisville Metro Department of Economic Growth & Innovation.

Suspect in Glenwood Double Shooting Turns Himself into Authorities
The primary suspect in a fatal glenwood springs shooting turned himself in yesterday. Freddy Argueta Cabrera is currently in custody in Mesa County. Aspen Public Radio's Marci Krivonen reports.
The shooting happened Wednesday night near an apartment complex, south of Glenwood, just outside the city limits. Walt Stowe is a spokesman for the Garfield County Sheriff's Office.
"We got a 911 call of shots having been fired near the Riverside Cottages, and so, they responded to that. It turned out to be just south of the Riverside Cottages in the buildings next door to them," Stowe says.
Both shooting victims were transported to Valley View Hospital in Glenwood where one died. The other victim was taken to a Denver hospital for medical care.
The Post Independent reports the suspect, Freddy Cabrera is the owner of El Horizonte restaurants in Carbondale and Glenwood Springs. On the restaurant's website, Cabrera is described as a long-time Valley resident who fled his home country of El Salvador to escape a civil war. He arrived in Aspen in the 1990's. Authorities won't confirm Cabrera owning a restaurant.
Before Cabrera turned himself in, authorities were warning residents in the Valley to be cautious. Officials with the Garfield County Sheriff's Office will continue to investigate the incident.

Each jurisdiction establishes bar registration and admission standards for individuals who wish to practice within the jurisdiction. One important aspect of admission to practice is an evaluation of an applicant's character and fitness to practice law. Applicants should take care to respond fully and accurately to each question on the law school application. Applicants should be aware that, in conducting character and fitness investigations, bar authorities frequently request copies of candidate's applications for admission to law school to determine whether they have supplied erroneous, misleading or incomplete information in the admission process. If discrepancies are found, bar authorities may conclude that such discrepancies demonstrate a lack of honesty, trustworthiness, diligence, or reliability so as to call into question the applicant's fitness for admission to the Bar. Applicants are encouraged to contact the Board of Bar Examiners of the state(s) in which they intend to practice in order to secure information regarding the qualifications for admission to the practice of law in that jurisdiction, including what constitutes proof of sufficient character and fitness.
If the answer to any of the questions regarding character and fitness is affirmative, a full written explanation must be provided. Such explanations should include dates, circumstances and outcomes surrounding the incident(s). Additionally, please supplement the application whenever necessary to ensure that the answers are current and accurate. If applying electronically, please use an electronic attachment for each question.

A brilliant rainbow dawns Pierceton, Indiana on Monday evening, April 20th, 2009. This Eastern view of West Market Street shows the beautiful colors spanning "Antique Town's" First Baptist Church (left), Blue Lion Coffeehouse (right of center), and Brower Park (distant center). What a great predecessor to this small town's upcoming warm summer atmosphere. The Pierceton Days Festival Parade will be turning this corner from South State Road 13 on the first weekend in August and is just as enjoyable as many events planned throughout the year. Friendly, comfortable, quiet, and enjoyable activities for all ages. What a view!

You were simply too smart for me.
Worse case hes a solid backup and special teams ace.
There is a reason he has been buried on the depth chart and only a sub-package player. His biggest problem has always been his ability to key and diagnose plays - he does not read and react and for whatever reason has not fully conceptualized the complexities of NFL offenses. This is his biggest hurdle to becoming the teams SAM and keeping it for the 2013 season. There is no denying he is a physically gifted athlete with untapped raw ability. However until he gains the ability to be more then just an athlete he will be nothing more than a special teams player.

No, it doesn't, but it will break the bank. Most modern strollers can't be pushed out of the shop for upward of $350 to $1,500, which means parents are spending a pretty penny for luxury wheels. Before the double wide and custom setups, strollers were sets of wheels without today's safety features. If you're a collector, want to justify a big purchase, or are into the retro vibe, sites like Etsy allow us to peruse prams of the past. Take a spin down memory lane. Canvas 1930s Baby Carriage What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 This hoodless baby carriage (available for $145) is made of canvas and wrought iron. Pros: Ideal garden wheelbarrow or backyard baby bassinet. Cons: Let's not even imagine traveling with this heavy load. 1 / 5 A 1940s Big Buggy Pram Stroller Collapsible What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 This Collapsible Big Buggy Pram (on sale for $350) from the 1940s is worlds more functional than the hoodless pram of the '30s, but still a beast. Pros: Crib-like appeal and a stylish design. Cons: It's collapsible, but you'll have to buy a vintage Buick for it to travel in. 2 / 5 A True Antique Buggy What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 This antique buggy (on sale for $99) is a little bit country, and with those big wheels, a lot of roll. It's unclear from the listing when it was made, but the design and materials don't appear to be waterproof. Pros: It's good, old-fashioned carriage chic. Cons: The lining looks cozy, but it's a ticket to stain city. 3 / 5 1955 Vintage Stork Line Pram What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 This 1955 Stork Line Pram Baby Stroller (on sale for $215) has a seriously cool retro vibe. Pros: It's just one compartment, but looks big enough to fit triplets. Cons: This bad boy measures four feet long and almost four feet tall. 4 / 5 Vintage Wicker Baby Buggy What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 This vintage wicker pull along buggy (on sale for $50) offers a different take on the traditional baby pusher. Pros: It's unique and light. Cons: You pull instead of push? Call the chiropractor!

"Dr. Schuller's book suggests new rules of the road for foreign assistance. His prescriptions are the result of dedicated fieldwork and years spent in Haiti living with Haitians, learning their...
The city was on fire. Not the Eternal Flame, a work-in-progress memorial to the Haitian Revolution that had yet to be lit, but thick plumes of charcoal-gray smoke filled the sky, blotting out the sun.
I was rushing. My neighbor Lise1 had warned me. "Better pick up what you can," she said. "You don't know the next time you'll be able to be out in the street." It was late afternoon, soon to be dark.
The market was unusually crowded, voices elevated an octave higher than usual, the staccato shouting of business transactions louder than usual, devoid of its usual joviality: the taunting, joking, and catching up between friends. People scurried by, clutching black plastic shopping bags full of whatever they could afford, whatever they could still find: candles, mosquito coils, cooking oil, matches, batteries for radios, and bulk food like dried beans, rice, milled corn, potatoes, and carrots.
By the time I made it back down the slippery cobblestone street that led to the market, little was left. Instinct, and Michele, a timachann (street merchant) whom I had come to know, told me to seek out the crowds, the long queues, to find what I was looking for. Michele had sold her last candle, and save for the two boxes she stuffed into her halter-top for her own family, she was even out of matches.
Stuck in the long lines, I experienced for myself that indeed it was catch-ascatch-can: get what you could while you still could. After being turned away from three "boutiques,"2 I was finally able to get matches, mosquito coils, and some cooking oil, but no batteries. The "eau miracle" (French for "miracle water") vendor had already closed up shop by the time I got there. Luckily I had iodine tablets, bleach, and a five-gallon jug of treated water.
The kriz (crisis) in Pòtoprens3 (Port-au-Prince) had finally past the point of no return. For the first time since being teargassed while observing an October protest, I was truly scared. The "insurrection" had finally reached Pòtoprens, just as the "rebel" Guy Philippe had boasted, predicting that he would reach the nation's capital by his birthday (February 29, the same day as Aristide's ouster). Earlier that day, still in an obstinate effort to abide by Haitian law and get my permis de sejour4—my "green card," enabling me to legally live and work in Haiti—I saw what I had only heard about from my family in the United States watching CNN: the lines were drawn, the streets empty. Downtown, just across the not-quite-finished monument to the bicentennial to the Haitian Revolution (1791–1804), the Texaco station was smoldering. Three trucks, each with ten to fifteen men all clad in black and some toting semiautomatic weapons, circled the gas station. The driver of our tap-tap ("public" transport, in this case an old converted minivan packed with eighteen adults, some with merchandise jammed under their seat or on their lap) went numb for a moment, then slammed on the brakes and made an immediate U-turn, speeding back up the hill. At the stoplight where the tap-taps were supposed to turn, the Total gas station was not only burning, but the pumps had been ripped from the concrete. Spooked, the chauffeur continued to climb, yelling at the passengers to please remain seated. Ordinarily, such a deviation in the normal route would have triggered loud protests from the passengers, particularly the timachann carrying heavy merchandise. Like me, other passengers were stunned into silence. Eventually, the driver zoomed his way through side roads and deposited us in front of the neighborhood Catholic Church, not even bothering to collect the fare.

Seems like when the bite gets hot, the leaders and hooks you made up the night before are tangled in a bird's nest. For a very easy and inexpensive way to store your leaders, wrap them around foam pipe insulation and secure them with toothpicks. The tube can be installed on a plastic coat hanger, and the hanger can be cut to slide off the foam to rapidly remove or install leaders. The system also works with those pesky sabikis.

Brenda and I stopped in at Big Sky long enough to realize there was nothing there for us.. so we immediately skipped across Missoula to Bayern... I love this place.. and I love the beers and the styles they brew.. that said.. this is the first time I've stopped in and the Schwarzbier was on tap.... I had a pint while the man behind the bar filled a growler for me.
Standard pint glass filled pretty much to the top.. what head was there was a khaki tan .. the brew is BLACK .. that is until I hold it up to the nearby window and a beautiful burnished walnut is revealed... very clear... and very pretty.
Aroma is continental.. I would if given blind expect this to come from Germany... very clean roasty and slightly toasty maltiness... rich with only the slightest whaffs of coffee..
Flavor is fantastic too.. slight malty sweetness combines seamlessly with roasted malts.. lite chocolate is apparent as it warms.. sorta nutty with a hit of dark rye crust... not really getting any hoppiness... but this brew is a benchmark for the American interpretation.. very very clean and very drinkable even on a warm summer evening.. the body is lite and the carbonation is prickly leading toward me wanting another pint.. but alas.... I have to take off... onward to Kettlehouse.

This is probably my favorite brew from Bayern. Darker than the other brews (obviously) there is a light berry sweet aroma with a roasted rye-like flavor imbedded in it. This beer is very smooth and the flavors meld perfectly.

Appearance: Pours a dark brown color, but not nearly black. Lots of ruby hints around the edges. Not much head to speak of or lacing. What head there is is a very light brown hue.
Smell: Smells of biscuity malts, a kind of berry like sweetness, and some light chocolate and roast notes as well. Very interesting.
Taste: Very dry initially with biscuity malts coming through. Some dark fruit flavors come through after that, think blackberries. Roast and dark chocolate are far in the background. It's pretty simple all in all, but I like it a lot. Pretty good in its simplicity.
Mouthfeel/Overall: Lighter bodied and very easy drinking. Extremely sessionable. I wish I had access to this beer all of the time. Has a lot of flavor for the ABV. The whole is greater than the sum of the parts for this beer.

Stopped at the brewery on my way through Montana and had to try this one.
A : A very nice black color with a decent tan head.
S : Very light aroma, hints of roasted malts, some sweetness to it
T : Nice light flavor to it with roasted malts note. A little bit of hop bitterness on the finish. Exactly what I would expect from a schwarzbier
M : Light, crisp, and refreshing
D : Real easy to drink. Too bad it's not bottled and available in Texas

Had this beer in the tap room on a beer tasting trip to Missoula. It has prompted me to return twice and get it in growlers. The color is a real black color with deep reddish brown edges when held to the light. The nose is of roasted grain and maybe a little dark chocolate. Flavor is a melding of malt sweetness balanced with a roast and hop bitterness, that still manages to keep that refreshing lager quality. Mouthfeel is spot on lager, crisp, clean and refreshing. Overall this is a beer I would order and order again . . . . and again . . . and again . . . and again.

Contrary to the posting, THIS BEER IS NOT RETIRED, and is available almost year round in the tap room of the brewery only.
Generally not a dark beer drinker, as in Porters and Stouts. This is a surprisingly easy drinking beer. You can taste this beer and not be overwhelmed. If you are a Pilsner drinker or prefer a beer that is not so heavy, you might like and enjoy this, for a Black Lager Beer.

Final push puts Bonds in starting lineup
Slugger moved by fans' drive to get him to 14th All-Star Game
SAN FRANCISCO -- Barry Bonds might not be the people's choice, but he's certainly a people's choice.Receiving an impressive late surge of votes in online balloting, Bonds climbed aboard the starting squad for the National League All-Star team by finishing third in the voting among outfielders. Bonds will join the New York Mets' Carlos Beltran and Cincinnati's Ken Griffey Jr. in the NL outfield. This marks Bonds' 14th All-Star selection. "I'm at a loss for words," Bonds repeated, appearing genuinely moved by his rally at the ballot box. "I'm surprised. I thought I played good enough to make the team, but I didn't think I'd start. This is great. I just can't say thanks enough to the fans here in San Francisco." The 78th Major League Baseball All-Star Game will be televised nationally by FOX Sports, in Canada by Rogers Sportsnet and Sportsnet HD and televised around the world by Major League Baseball International, with pregame ceremonies beginning at 5 p.m. PT. ESPN Radio will provide exclusive national radio coverage, while MLB.com will provide extensive online coverage. XM will provide satellite radio play-by-play coverage of the XM All-Star Futures Game. Bonds, who's five home runs short of tying Hank Aaron's all-time record of 755, was in fourth place when the final voting update was announced last Monday. He trailed Alfonso Soriano of the Chicago Cubs, 1,332,581-1,213,423. In the final vote total, Bonds had 2,325,391 to Soriano's 2,202,513. Before that, momentum had begun to build for Bonds, who wanted a chance to participate in an All-Star Game at home, since the game is scheduled for July 10 at AT&T Park. The Giants launched a "Vote Bonds" campaign, with "advertisements" being shown on the AT&T Park scoreboard between innings, ushers wearing "Vote Bonds" stickers and online voting stations set up around the ballpark. A stretch of six home games immediately preceding last Thursday night's conclusion of online balloting also may have helped Bonds. "The fans thought he deserved it," Giants executive vice president Larry Baer said. "The San Francisco Giants are hosting the game; it happens once every 25 to 30 years. For us to be able to host the game with our player in left field is hugely meaningful for the fans. The decibel level will be loud when he runs out there." Hall of Famers Tony Gwynn and Cal Ripken Jr. intensified the drumbeat for Bonds by endorsing his presence on the All-Star team during a conference call to promote TBS' All-Star selection show. Giants manager Bruce Bochy also was especially vocal in his support for Bonds, noting how fitting it would be for the slugger to play before the home fans. "I'm happy for him," Bochy said. "I think it's great for our fans and for baseball. This guy is going to go down as one of the greatest players ever, if not the greatest. To be starting here at home, that's huge."
The 2003 season marked the introduction of the Player Ballot to the All-Star selection process. Each league's players, managers and coaches elect eight position players and eight pitchers from their league. Catchers and infielders who finish in the top two at their position on the Player Ballot, and outfielders among the top six, are assured of making the All-Star Team. In instances where the winners of the Player Ballot are also fan-elected starters, the player with the next highest amount of votes on the Player Ballot makes the All-Star Team. Eight pitchers - five starters and three relievers - become All-Stars through the Player Ballot. The manager of each World Series team from the prior season - in this year's case, Detroit's Jim Leyland and St. Louis' Tony La Russa - then fills the remaining slots on their respective teams, ensuring that one player from all 30 clubs is named to the All-Star Game.

Whole Foods made the following announcement on its website today. It was promoted by the Whole Foods Capitola Facebook Page.
Whole Foods nearest to Moorpark is located at 740 N. Moorpark Road, Thousand Oaks.
Today, we stood up for the consumer's right to know by announcing that all products in our US and Canadian stores containing genetically modified organisms (GMOs) must be clearly labeled within five years. We heard our customers loud and clear asking us for GMO labeling and we are responding where we have control: in our own stores.
We are the first national grocery chain to set a deadline for full GMO transparency. By 2018, we will require our supplier partners to label products containing GMO ingredients, and we will work in collaboration with them as they transition to sourcing non-GMO ingredients or to clearly labeling products with ingredients containing GMOs.
The announcement went on to say that Whole Foods expects many suppliers to comply long before the five year deadline has passed. The Whole Foods proprietary line — 365 Everyday Value — is ahead of the curve by avoiding GMOs almost entirely.
Although Prop 37 failed last year in California, which would have mandated GMO labeling across the state, Whole Foods said it is still behind such a law.
Until the GMO labeling requirement is fully effective, shoppers can rely on Non-GMO Project verified products and certified organic products if they want to avoid GMOs. The US National Organic Standards prohibit the intentional use of GMO seed in the production of organic crops. As a pioneer in the US organic food movement for the past 32 years, we offer thousands of organic products, the largest variety in the country. To ensure a growing supply of non-GMO options for our customers, we are stepping up our support of organic and certified products, and we are growing the non-GMO supply chain with our supplier partners.
We are as excited about this announcement as we are dedicated to supporting transparency and our customers' right to know what's in their food.
What do you think of the announcement? Is it a step in the right direction? Tell us in the comments!

Women's Golf Wins FGCU Fall Invitational
FORT MYERS, Fla., - The FGCU women's golf team won the FGCU Fall Invitational by two strokes as Heather Hagerman won the individual title by four shots as well.
The Eagles won their first tournament since the 2003-04 season where they won two tournaments. Hagerman shot 73 on both days to easily capture the individual title. Under tough, windy conditions, the Eagles posted a team score of 313 to overcome an 11 stroke deficit to win by two strokes. Jessica Paulmann fired a 78 in the final round. Amber Pedersen and Courtney Figueroa each posted 81's to round out the scoring for the Eagles. Pedersen finished 14th, tied with Maria Venot with 159. Figueroa was one stroke behind and placed 16th. Paulmann's 162 over two days was good for 19th in the event.
"This is a great way to begin the year, winning our first tournament of the year at home," said head coach Holly Vaughn. "This will build confidence in our team and will be something to build on."
Bethune-Cookman shot the low round of the day with a 305 to finish second. FAU, day one's leader wound up third after shooting a 327 for a combined score of 623, one shot behind Bethune-Cookman. FGCU's Atlantic Sun rivals Stetson and USC Upstate finished fourth and fifth with team scores of 631 and 634 respectively. Barry rounded out the field with a team score of 637.
The Eagles next fall tournament is October 13 in Daytona, Fla., at the LPGA International Xavier Invitational.

Central Michigan took the air out of Iowa's season with a 47-yard field goal to give the Chippewas a 31-29 win over the Hawkeyes in Iowa City.
The Chips recovered an onside kick and were aided by a personal foul and delay of game penalty to get in field goal range with just a smattering of seconds remaining.
Naturally, the AIRBHG's wrath extended to Kirk Ferentz and the Iowa faithful, as he softly pursed his lips together to give a slight breeze that let the ball flitter over the uprights.
Then we were treated to a pile of chips.
And now we turn our attention to the aftereffects, eloquently summarized by our friend Adam Kramer.
On a positive note, the Iowa City arrest report is going to be just grand tomorrow.— Adam Kramer (@KegsnEggs) September 22, 2012
[M*A*S*H* theme]
Iowa is now 2-2.

Attorneys for Andrea Sneiderman challenged the indictment against her in a DeKalb County courtroom on Tuesday.Sneiderman is scheduled to go on trial later this summer on charges implicating the mother of two in her husband's murder. Rusty Sneiderman was shot in November 2010 outside a Dunwoody daycare facility. Andrea Sneiderman's boss, Hemy Neuman, is serving a life sentence following a trial last yearAndrea Sneiderman's case is moving toward jury selection, which is set to begin on July 29. Tuesday was the last scheduled date for the judge to hear arguments on pretrial motions. The indictment charges Sneiderman lied to police and concealed evidence in the case. Sneiderman's lawyers claim the charges against her are vague and make it unfairly difficult to defend her against charges in her husband's murder.During Tuesday's hearing, a DeKalb prosecutor called the defense arguments "merit-less."Judge Gregory Adams plans to rule later on the defense motions. The judge said the trial is expected to last at least three to four weeks.
Firefighters are calling a man a hero after he helped save a family from a burning home in DeKalb County.

"Absolutely LOVE the quality of this invitation - first time ordering from the Studio Basics line, so I wasn't sure what to expect. The paper itself is a nice card stock, design was simple but elegant and the photo and text print was clear and even better in person. Would definitely recommend."
"As always- I am overwhelmed by Tiny Print's ability to produce such beautiful products! These invitations are as sweet as the baby girl you will purchase them for! They are as beautiful as expected....I love Tiny Prints...they are the only place I shop for invites, Thank You cards etc...you can't beat their quality! I give this invite 2 thumbs up! Thanks Tiny Prints!!!!"
"The card is exactly what I expected. Colors are in line with the preview and they are just perfect for our daughters baptism."
"Everyone has had great things to say about card and baby's picture (so glad I included the picture). Delivery was prompt which was important in my case as this was done last minute. One person told me their's arrived wrinkled in the mail but I presume that's the mail delivery's fault."
"Am so happy with the invitation just what I needed. I had to reorder more as my husband changed the reception venue at last minute. Beautiful Card and Excellent Service. Highly recommend!!!"

Of course you aren't giving into cancer... but I am SO sorry that you and Emily have to have those talks. Love you lady!!

- Rachel said...
Oh girlie... I am so sorry.
I think it's so hard for people to fight this yucky stuff, and it's hard for people who love them too.
You know she loves you, and she wants what every parent should be blessed to have - a kid who wants their mom around forever.
So glad that you love and appreciate eachother because your family is the blessing that God gave each one of you.
Praying for healing, physical and heartbreak.
(And p.s... your girl is a treasure. And I'm so glad she can be honest and loving with you).
God Bless You Amy.

I hate cancer too! You're sweet daughter was just reminding you how important you are... As I always say, you keep fighting and I'll keep praying.
At the falling out in clumps stage I ended up shaving it off. The hair was ending up everywhere and it itched. Remember it grows in thicker and prettier. :D

Bless your heart and little Emily's... Did you check into a wig so little Emily won't feel so badly? I've seen gals in Church and also shopping with such beautiful scarves around their heads. You would also look beautiful with a real colorful one that matched your outfits. Don't despair ... when it all grows back it will probably come in very thick and curly. You then WILL have the last laugh.
I remember Jeff having radiation to his head and he lost some hair. When it came back half his head was so curly it was hard to cut. Amazingly the side of his head was not where the radiation was aimed at - but the side where the radiation came out. Strange!

You are too tough and too sweet to give in to cancer. Hate this for Emily (and rest of your sweet family)... hate this for you too... but oh my gosh... the true sweet Emily coms out in her comment about having babies... I have tears thinking about it. Hugs

I have been a lurker for a bit. Always thinking and praying for your family. I am also a fellow cancer survivor. When I started losing my hair, i had my best friend give me a purple mohawk and we put temporary tattos on my head. I couldn't control losing it but I could control how.
Hugs to you and your sweet family!

Sweet Emily. I love her age. I've taught sixth grade for 15 years and have a nine year old boy and a six year old boy. I just saw Eclipse. I bet Emily is going to go see it. It was great. Much better than New Moon. She loves you like no tomorrow. Keep talking and listening to her. Keep your chin up and knock this cancer down. You have a wonderful family, they need you and you need them. I'm praying for you. FEEL BETTER SOON. You have been so strong for so long. You can do this! I will have to share some funny things with you that my 6 year old says to me. COLE REMINDS ME OF SEAN little one!

Huangshan is a mountain formation located in Anhui province and is real famous for the fascinating landscape they provide. What does fascinating landscape mean? Several huge mountains with a very sharp outline and impressive forests which are located between

I marvelled at the travel photos of Huangshan in the internet and wondering why no one has told me about this enchanting place in China. There's so much talk about Beijing, Shanghai, Suzhou, Hangzhou, Guilin, and many other popular cities, but none of my friends, relatives or colleagues mention about Huangshan.
While planning a trip to Shanghai, I accidentally chanced upon a travel phot
