Better Business Bureau officials say people fall for it all the time -- a caller who says you've won a big prize but must pay to claim it. A local woman who heard their crooked pitch did the smart thing.
"They said, 'Ms. Fontenot, you all have won $500,000 and I want you to know we're going to be at your house delivering it on Friday between ten and two. What do you think about that?' And I said, 'Well, I think that's good if I really won it,' " said Carolyn Fontenot.Fontenot wasn't fooled when someone called saying she and her husband had won a half million dollars.
"She said, 'Well, before we can process this claim we are going to have to have a security deposit of $2500.' I said,'Well, who is doing this?' " She said, " 'The Metro Asia Financial Group, Metro Asia Financial Group and it was sponsored by the U.S. Government," said Fontenot.
The scammers keep getting more sophisticated. In this case, one of the voices on the phone claimed to be a tax attorney.
"She said, 'I'm sorry, I should have told you, my name is Diane Rothchild. And we're in St. Paul, Minnesota.' " I said, " 'Well do you work for a lawyer?' " She said, " 'No, I'm a tax attorney, but I work in the office of Bradshaw and Company.' " Carolyn turned the tables on them when she said she needed her own attorney to handle the transaction.
" 'Oh no, mam.' " I said, " 'Why not?' " She said, " 'We had to sign a federal confidentiality agreement.'"
"I have to talk to my lawyer, and she said, 'Well go talk to your lawyer and I'll call you in an hour,' Bam -- the phone went down."Carmen Million with the Southwest Louisiana Better Business Bureau said people do fall for such scams.
"We've had calls from consumers who have lost as much as $25,000 from these scams," said Million.
She said Carolyn did exactly the right thing."She handled it perfectly because she asked questions, she knew it was probably a scam but she really asked the right questions. She didn't give out any personal financial information which is probably the most important thing," said Million.They wanted Carolyn to wire the money to the Philippines, but by then she was through with them.
Following this story is a news release with tips from the SWLA Better Business Bureau.
Copyright 2013 KPLC All rights reserved
Lottery / Sweepstake ScamsFraudulent win notices for lotteries or sweepstakes promise prizes or big bucks and ask for personal information or funds to cover taxes or fees. Consumers often receive a check with their win notice, which turns out to be fraudulent.Red Flags: Application asks for detailed personal information. The consumer doesn't remember entering the contest. Lottery tickets must be purchased, sweepstakes usually involve application paperwork, and government grants have a thorough application process. The consumer is asked to forward a portion of the money received back to the sender or to another company to pay for taxes, shipping, fees, etc. The name on the check does not match the name of the company or person the consumer is dealing with. A lottery application or win announcement comes via telephone or mail from outside the country.Problems Reported:Personal information required on applications: Some applications request detailed personal information. If the source is illegitimate or the privacy policy is ambiguous, consumers who provide personal or financial details could become victims of identity theft or financial fraud.Fake win notice: A consumer receives a win notice, check and instructions to forward funds for shipping, taxes or other fees. The check ends up being fake or stolen from another person or business. Lucky people who try to deposit the scam check get stopped by a bank teller. However, with better printing and computer technologies, consumers are often able to deposit the check. After transferring funds, victims discover they've actually transferred funds to the scam artist. Then the money from the check never comes or arrives but is stolen from another person or business' account. This can put a freeze on the consumer's account and requires the consumer to pay back the money to the rightful owner, including the funds they thought they sent for fees, but actually sent to the scam artist. BBB Tips: Check out businesses. Get a free BBB Reliability Report at www.bbb.org. Don't pay to collect winnings. In legitimate cases, shipping and other fees are taken out of the winnings before the money is sent. Taxes on winnings would be handled with tax returns to the IRS. Verify that the check is legitimate. Independently verify that the check is drawn from an actual account at a legitimate financial institution. Do not rely on the telephone number listed on the check. Use directory assistance to get the telephone number of the financial institution and call them to verify the check. Do not use the money until the funds have been collected by your financial institution. Funds "availability" is not good enough. It is a red flag if the company name on the check does not match the name of the business writing the letter. Beware of foreign lotteries. Playing a foreign lottery, via telephone or mail, is against federal law.Specific Scheme Examples:Publishers Clearing House Win Notice. Fake sweepstakes notices or phony calls come from Publishers Clearing House (PCH) impersonators promising a huge prize. Tips to identity real vs. fake PCH sweepstakes can be found at pch.com. Prize winners will not be notified by phone or regular mail. Consumers who win over $10,000 will be awarded in person by the PCH Prize Patrol, with no advance notification. Those who win less than $10,000 will receive an affidavit via certified mail. Additionally, PCH does send out post cards and mailings promoting their services and surveys. At the real Publishers Clearing House, the winning is always free. Do not send or wire any money in order to collect the prize. Don't trust anyone requesting payment for "taxes," "custom fees," "border security" or other purported reasons. If suspicious of a fraudulent call, letter, e-mail or check from someone claiming to be from Publishers Clearing House, contact the actual PCH at 1-800-645-9242 then press 5.Reader's Digest Sweepstakes Win Notice. Fake Reader's Digest Sweepstakes have been circulating across the country for years. To appear legitimate, fake letters sometimes use well known business logos or misuse BBB's Accredited Business logo to falsely imply BBB Accreditation. The real Reader's Digest is a BBB Accredited Business and does have a real sweepstakes; however, scam artists frequently impersonate them. To check legitimacy: Visit the legitimate Reader's Digest Sweepstakes page at www.rd.com/sweepstakes. Don't call the phone number on the notification; use a trusted Reader's Digest source. Their web site shows the customer service number is 1-800-310-2181.Better Business Bureau Lotto Scam. Consumers receive a call, e-mail or knock on the door from a person saying they won the BBB Lotto. Some callers claim to be from Winners International and others claim to be with Better Business Bureau. Tips: BBB does not have a lottery. BBB does not solicit door-to-door. Verify claims that use BBB's name. Visit www.bbb.org to find contact information for your local office: Call to ask questions regarding BBB, report false use of BBB's name, or verify if a caller is a legitimate BBB representative.Report Scams:If you receive a fake check, dispose of it properly by shredding it.If victimized by a fake or stolen check: Report check fraud to the Federal Trade Commission at www.ftc.gov. Report postal mail fraud to the U.S. Postal Inspection Service at http://postalinspectors.uspis.gov. File complaints against businesses at www.bbb.org. If the phony check was drawn on a federally insured financial institution contact the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation at 877-275-3342 or www.fdic.gov. If the phony check was drawn on a foreign bank, contact the United States Secret Service by visiting www.secretservice.gov. If the phony check comes from scam artists impersonating a real business or organization, notify that business or organization.

SAN DIEGO (CBS 8) - Animals rescued from Hurricane Sandy are up for adoption starting Wednesday.

Dean Blevins, News 9 Sports Director
Bob Stoops is proud of the fact that he has never fired a coach, and in theory that won't change.
As we told you five weeks ago, Mike Stoops will rejoin the OU coaching staff, and we confirmed Sunday night that it will happen this week.
Stoops will return as secondary coach and co-defensive coordinator and ultimately be responsible for calling the defense.
One inside source told me that current co-defensive coordinator Brent Venables is 100 percent supportive of Mike's return; same for Bobby Jack Wright, the assistant defensive coordinator whom I expect to remain on the staff.
Current secondary coach Willie Martinez is the odd man out and has been contacting coaches for weeks, and I'm told will soon take another job.
The uncertainty about Martinez just cost OU a 4-star defensive back who recently de-committed, one more reason to expect this change sooner rather than later.

And while the Hispanic birth rate may never return to its highest levels, immigrants who have babies will likely continue to boost overall fertility rates, said Frey, who saw the current decline as a "short-term blip." Immigrants from Asia, he said, continue to move to the United States, though their birth rates are not likely to approach that of Hispanic immigrants at their peak.
The recent birth rate decline among Latino women may also be related to enhanced access to emergency contraception and better sex education in recent years, said Kimberly Inez McGuire, a senior policy analyst at the National Latina Institute for Reproductive Health, based in New York.
^(Optional add end)<
At Mary's Center, an organization in Washington that provides social services to low-income women, the waiting room on a recent morning was filled with immigrants, many with swollen bellies. But not all were planning large families.
Elsa Mendez, 22, a single woman from Guatemala who lives in Washington, is due to give birth to her first child in December, but she said after this one she plans to go on birth control because she wants a better life.
"Sometimes [Hispanic] people — they have a lot of kids, and no talk about family planning," she said. "I have neighbors who have nine kids — they come from El Salvador and are all together in the same room."
But Mendez, a sales clerk, said she sees American families with fewer children, and wants to emulate them. "I want to have more money for her," she said, referring to her unborn child.
Mindy Greenside, director of midwifery at Mary's Center, said many more immigrant women are asking about contraception now than five years ago.
One of them is Elizabeth Rosa, 37, a Salvadoran who lives in Langley Park, Md. Pregnant with her third child, she said it will be her last.
"To have more babies, it costs more," she said as her 2-year-old son Emanuel played nearby.
Pointing to her belly, she said she plans to have her tubes tied after giving birth. "The factory is closing," she said with a smile.

Lamar Alexander on Government Reform
Republican Sr Senator (TN); previously candidate for President
We've had 25 years experience with 'reforms' that tell you what you can do or say in a campaign. Here's the result: fewer candidates; longer campaigns; more rich candidates spending their own money; more say for Washington insiders and the news media and less for you.
That's not right. I'll fight against limits on
Proponent's argument to vote Yes:Rep. WASSERMAN SCHULTZ (D, FL-20): We, as Members of Congress, have responsibility not just for the institution, but for the staff that work for this institution, and to preserve the facilities that help support this institution. We have endeavored to do that responsibly, and I believe we have accomplished that goal.
Opponent's argument to vote No:Rep. SCALISE (R, LA-1): It's a sad day when someone attempts to cut spending in a bill that grows government by the size of 7%, and it's not allowed to be debated on this House floor. Some of their Members actually used the term "nonsense" and "foolishness" when describing our amendments to cut spending; they call that a delaying tactic. Well, I think Americans all across this country want more of those types of delaying tactics to slow down this runaway train of massive Federal spending. Every dollar we spend from today all the way through the end of this year is borrowed money. We don't have that money. We need to control what we're spending.
Proponent's argument to vote Yes:Sen. ORRIN HATCH (R-UT): I am cosponsoring the legislation to provide a House seat for DC and an additional House seat for Utah. Representation and suffrage are so central to the American system of self-government that America's founders warned that limiting suffrage would risk another revolution and could prevent ratification of the Constitution. The Supreme Court held in 1820 that Congress' legislative authority over DC allows taxation of DC. Do opponents of giving DC a House seat believe that DC is suitable for taxation but not for representation?
Opponent's argument to vote No:Sen. JOHN McCAIN (R-AZ): I make a constitutional point of order against this bill on the grounds that it violates article I, section 2, of the Constitution. I appreciate the frustration felt by the residents of DC at the absence of a vote in Congress. According to many experts, DC is not a State, so therefore is not entitled to that representation. Also, one has to raise the obvious question: If DC is entitled to a Representative, why isn't Puerto Rico, which would probably entail 9 or 10 Members of Congress? [With regards to the seat for Utah], this is obviously partisan horse-trading.
Opponents recommend voting NO because:
Sen. BYRD: In 1978, I voted for H.J. Res. 554, that proposed amending the Constitution to provide for representation of D.C. [That amendment passed the Senate but was not ratified by the States]. While I recognize that others believe that the Constitution authorizes the Congress to "exercise exclusive legislation" over D.C., the historical intent of the Founders on this point is unclear. I oppose S.1257, because I doubt that our Nation's Founding Fathers ever intended that the Congress should be able to change the text of the Constitution by passing a simple bill.
Proponents support voting YES because:
Sen. HATCH. There are conservative and liberal advocates on both sides of this issue,and think most people know Utah was not treated fairly after the last census. For those who are so sure this is unconstitutional, [we include an] expedited provision that will get us to the Supreme Court to make an appropriate decision. It will never pass as a constitutional amendment. There are 600,000 people in D.C., never contemplated by the Founders of this country to be without the right to vote. They are the only people in this country who do not have a right to vote for their own representative in the House. This bill would remedy that situation.
Proponents support voting YES because:
Sen. DOLE. I am proposing a commonsense measure to uphold the integrity of Federal elections. My amendment to require voters to show photo identification at the polls would go a long way in minimizing potential for voter fraud. When a fraudulent vote is cast and counted, the vote of a legitimate voter is cancelled. This is wrong, and my amendment would help ensure that one of the hallmarks of our democracy, our free and fair elections, is protected. Opinion polls repeatedly confirm that Americans overwhelmingly support this initiative.
Opponents recommend voting NO because:
Sen. FEINSTEIN. If one would want to suppress the vote in the 2008 election, one would vote for this because this measure goes into effect January 1, 2008. It provides that everybody who votes essentially would have to have a photo ID. If you want to suppress the minority vote, the elderly vote, the poor vote, this is exactly the way to do it. Many of these people do not have driver's licenses. This amendment would cost hundreds of millions of dollars to actually carry out. It goes into effect--surprise--January 1, 2008 [to affect the presidential election]. I urge a "no" vote.
For example, I am a big fan of McDonald's. What about the kids working behind the counter? Would they be considered registered lobbyists because McDonald's has lobbyists? Would I not be able to go to lunch with my longtime friend who owns 12 McDonald's?

The Diversity and Equal Opportunity Office, working in conjunction with the Department of Human Resources and the Student Support Services Office, develops policies, procedures and training programs to ensure that UMMS complies with all applicable federal and state regulations relating to covered veterans and individuals with disabilities. In addition, the Covered Veterans & ADA Subcommittee evaluates policies regarding employees with disabilities and those who are covered veterans, assesses adherence to these policies, and makes recommendations for improvement to the appropriate department(s) and the Chancellor.

SOURCE Armored AutoGroup Inc.
DANBURY, Conn., July 8, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Armored AutoGroup Inc. (formerly known as Viking Acquisition Inc.) ("Armored AutoGroup" or the "Company") announced today that it has commenced a solicitation (the "Solicitation") of consents (the "Consents") upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in a Consent Solicitation Statement dated July 8, 2014 (as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the "Statement"), and the accompanying Form of Consent (the "Consent Form"), to certain proposed amendments (the "Proposed Amendments") to the Indenture, dated as of November 5, 2010, as supplemented by that certain Indenture Supplement for Joinder of Guarantors (the "Indenture"), by and among the Company, the guarantors parties thereto (the "Guarantors") and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (in such capacity, the "Trustee"), governing the Company's 9.25% Senior Notes due 2018 (the "Notes").
The Proposed Amendments seek to permit certain financing transactions of the Company and its subsidiaries, including the entry by the Company into a new secured credit agreement and commitments in connection therewith and the redemption of certain outstanding notes of IDQ Acquisition Corp. and IDQ Holdings, Inc. In addition, Armored AutoGroup Parent Inc. intends to contribute AAG IDQ Acquisition Corporation and its shares of IDQ Acquisition Corp. to the capital of the Company, subject to the successful completion of the Solicitation and the related financing transactions. The Proposed Amendments would amend the Indenture to permit the Company to (i) incur liens resulting in a Consolidated Secured Debt Ratio (as defined in the Indenture) of no greater than 4.00 to 1.00 and (ii) incur indebtedness under the new credit agreement. The Proposed Amendments will be effected by a supplemental indenture to the Indenture that is described in more detail in the Statement (the "Supplemental Indenture").
The Solicitation will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City Time, on Monday, July 21, 2014, unless extended or earlier terminated (such time and date, as the same may be extended or earlier terminated, the "Expiration Date").
Only holders of record of the Notes (each, a "Holder" and collectively, the "Holders") as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on July 7, 2014 (such time and date, the "Record Date") may deliver Consents pursuant to the Consent Solicitation. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Solicitation, promptly after the Expiration Date, the Company will pay to each Holder , who has delivered (and has not validly revoked) a valid Consent in respect of the Notes, $5.00 in cash for each $1,000 principal amount of such Notes in respect of which a valid Consent was so delivered (and was not validly revoked) (the "Consent Consideration") if the conditions set forth in the Statement have been satisfied or, where permitted, waived. Holders of Notes who deliver Consents but validly revoke their Consent in accordance with the Statement, or who deliver Consents after the Expiration Date, will not receive the Consent Consideration.
The Company's obligation to accept the Consents that are validly delivered and not validly revoked is conditioned on, among other things, (i) receipt of valid Consents (which Consents have not been validly revoked) with respect to a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes (the "Requisite Consent") prior to the Expiration Date and (ii) the execution and effectiveness of the Supplemental Indenture giving effect to the Proposed Amendments.
If the Requisite Consent is received prior to the expiration of the Expiration Date, the Proposed Amendments will be promptly adopted. If the Proposed Amendments are approved and the Supplemental Indenture giving effect to the Proposed Amendments is entered into by the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee, the Proposed Amendments will bind all Holders of the Notes, including those who did not give their Consent. If the Requisite Consent is not received prior to the Expiration Date, the Proposed Amendments will not be adopted, pursuant to the Solicitation.

10 Best-Performing Biopharma Stocks of 2012 and Their 2013 Outlook
BOSTON (TheStreet) -- The 10 best-performing biopharmaceutical stocks of 2012 and their outlook for 2013:
10. Affymax (AFFY) +256%
Not only has the commercial launch of Affymax's once-monthly anemia drug Omontys started off strong, but investors are also rewarding the company for its efforts -- and those of partner Takeda. Affymax shares are up more than 60% since Omontys was approved in late March. In other words, the "short the drug launch" thesis that has been nearly bulletproof in biotech for the past few years is not working with Affymax.
Looking ahead to 2013, Affymax could maintain its momentum by signing Omontys supply agreements with the remaining two mid-sized dialysis organizations (MDOs) that are not yet using the drug. [Four MDOs are already Omontys customers, as are about 90 small-sized dialysis centers.]A current Omontys supply agreement with Fresenius, one of the two large dialysis service providers, expires in April 2013. A re-up of that contract, particularly for longer/better terms, would be a big boost for Omontys sales and Affymax's stock price in the coming year. 9. Pharmacyclics (PCYC) +259% I try to steer clear of hyperbole when describing the movement of biotech stocks, but for Pharmacyclics, "rocket" is more than justified. The stock doubled in value in 2011, then more than tripled in 2012. The object of Wall Street's affection is ibrutinib, a pill designed to block the production of an enzyme known as Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) that is responsible for the unchecked or cancerous growth of B-cells. Investors see blockbuster potential in ibrutinib as a treatment for a variety of B-cell related lymphomas and leukemias, and so does Johnson & Johnson (JNJ), which licensed the drug from Pharmacyclics in December 2011. Phase III studies of ibrutinib only just began enrolling patients and won't likely have top-line results ready until 2015. But with a market cap already topping $3.7 billion, Pharmacyclics is pricing in a lot of good news already. 8. Galena BioPharma (GALE) +260% Galena lands a spot on this list despite a breast cancer "vaccine" showing scant evidence of efficacy and disinterest from institutional healthcare investors, who own just 6% of the company's outstanding shares, according to CapitalIQ. Nonetheless, retail investors bought into Galena's risky story, which like many other biotech penny stocks, received a big-time boost this year from the biotech bull market. It's hard to envision a scenario under which Galena repeats its stock out-performance in 2013, even if the macro market remains strong. The phase III study of NeuVax in breast cancer patients with "low" levels of Her-2 expression is expected to reach full enrollment in mid-2013, with an interim analysis scheduled for the end of the year. If the interim analysis fails or comes up inconclusive -- likely outcomes given the shaky assumptions used to design the study -- a final analysis won't be ready until 2015. Galena has had no luck attracting a partner, a buyer or institutional investors despite heavy promotional efforts all year. Insiders haven't been buying their own stock either. With less than $15 million in the bank, at least one dilutive financing in 2013 is likely. The best days for Galena are in the rear-view mirror already. 7. Threshold Pharmaceuticals (THLD) +266% Threshold wins this year's "What have you done for me lately?" award. The company owes its spot on this year's Top 10 list to a super-fantastic February in which 1) Merck KGaA signed on as a development/marketing partner for the pancreatic cancer drug TH-302; and 2) positive results from a phase IIb study of TH-302 in pancreatic cancer were announced.

It is a difficult tragedy that only a few understand: losing a child before they are ever born. For a Tyler woman, the loss of her son, Braden, has now lead to a place where the lives of all children can be celebrated.
Her journey or recovery and restoration was paved with the power of prayer. In August of 1999, just a few days before Jennifer Carson was scheduled to give birth to a new son, that she noticed something was wrong. "Noticed no heart beat, went to the hospital... Braden was not alive," said Jennifer.
Finding comfort in the days to come was not easy. "People either don't know what to say or they say the wrong thing and you feel like your child has been forgotten. You feel like they've been left behind. Which was my greatest fear, that everybody was going to move on and forget about Braden. And I just couldn't let that happen. I wanted him to come with me and I wanted his life to make a difference in other peoples lives."
Jennifer found peace at Elena's Park in Dallas near her parents home. The park is a peaceful place, Jennifer remembers, built in memory of a young child lost. It was here she says God called her to service. "And what I feel like he was saying to me was, 'I want you to go and find all these families that have lost a child and bring them to this place of healing.'"
It would not be that easy. Jennifer was able to find a small group back in Tyler that caught her vision. For four years that would meet every week planning and preparing. "It started out about being a memorial park because obviously that is where my heart is. But we had just as many people who were involved that had not lost children. And it became very quickly evident that God wanted this to be a park about all children."
A lot right on Broadway that for decades had been covered in vines and weeds was purchased. Jennifer formed the Children Are a Gift Foundation and raised more than $800,000 to make the dream of a park a reality.
In September of 2004, just over five years after Braden's death the park opened. It's not a typical kind of park. There is not a playground here but kids love to come and play. The rocks and streams are made to for youngsters to climb and enjoy.
Martha Dunlap's stepson helped work on the park as part of graduate work. He has now died... as has here young grandson. Both are remembered at Children's Park. "Whether we have a child for just a few moments, like we had Landon, or 32 years... it just means that we can appreciate, meditate, think about those hours, those days, those years, and so many different ways. It's just been a great place for reflection, a great place to say thanks to God for those lives," said Martha.
For Jennifer, the park has been an answer to prayer, a place she now prayers where others can come and celebrate the lives of all children.

Spring Training rundown
MLB Radio preview
Fan guide
Peoria Stadium
Radio broadcasts
PEORIA, Ariz. -- Aside from deciding on a fifth starter and the sixth reliever, the main focus during the Mariners' six-weeks-and-then-some Spring Training camp will be on a new managerial regime.
For the first time since 1993 -- when the Mariners had their first spring camp in Peoria after 17 years in Tempe -- Lou Piniella won't be in the clubhouse welcoming the players back.
The Good Ship Mariner is now under the command of Bob Melvin, a 42-year-old former big-league catcher with virtually no managerial experience.
But thanks to a strong foundation Piniella helped establish during his 10 successful seasons in Seattle, Melvin takes over an experienced team that is accustomed to winning and expects to return to the playoffs this season.
Anything less would be unacceptable.
A new era officially begins Feb. 10 on Field One at the Peoria Sports Complex.
For the past two seasons, the Mariners used productive camps as springboards to terrific regular season starts. Seattle had a 20-5 record in April two years ago to ignite a 116-win season, and sprinted to an 18-8 start a year ago.
The unbalanced schedule (more games within the division) usually makes it even more important to start quickly, although the reigning World Series champion Angels are an exception, overcoming a 6-14 beginning last season to finish with 99 wins and secure the AL Wild Card playoff berth.
Once again, the Mariners open the season by playing 20 consecutive games against AL West opponents and the kind of camp Melvin and camp coordinator Jim Goff run could have a lot to do with any early-season success.
With the 25-man Opening Day roster virtually set going into camp, Melvin and his coaching staff -- which includes newcomers Rene Lachemann (bench), Orlando Gomez (bullpen) and Lamar Johnson (hitting), along with holdovers Bryan Price (pitching), John Moses (first base) and Dave Myers (third base) -- getting the players ready for the March 25 regular-season opener in Tokyo against the Athletics ranks at the top of the list of camp objectives.
There also could be a fear of the unknown.
Unlike any of their previous 25 Spring Training camps, this one will be fractured. During a 12-day stretch from March 18, the day before they leave for Japan, the Mariners play just six games. That makes it difficult for 11 pitchers to get enough work to stay sharp.
"It is imperative for us to prepare ourselves to get through that stretch," Price said. "By the time we go to Japan, all of our pitchers have to be game-ready for the season. My only concern is getting all of our pitchers the work they need during that stretch. I'm sure someone is going to be neglected."
To help make up for the week lost at the end of camp, Price said the Mariners will play two or three intrasquad games leading up to the Feb. 27 exhibition against the Padres.
The Mariners play two exhibition games in Japan prior to the regular season games against Oakland on March 25-26 and then return to the Bay Area for two more exhibition games (against the Rangers in Sacramento and Giants in San Francisco) before resuming the season-opening four-game series against Oakland.
It is something that never previously has been done. The Mets and Cubs played two regular season games in Tokyo to open the 2000 season, but resumed the regular season immediately after returning to the U.S.
"We are entering unchartered waters," Price said. "I don't know if there is an exact formula."
The majority of Mariner deckhands are back. Melvin needs to find a fifth starter to follow Freddy Garcia, Jamie Moyer, Joel Pineiro and Ryan Franklin. Right-hander Gil Meche has the inside track heading into camp, but has a history of arm problems.
The bullpen once again will be a strong suit because of closer Kazuhiro Sasaki, setup relievers Arthur Rhodes and Jeff Nelson, and all-purpose reliever Shigetoshi Hasegawa.
There are a few remaining yet key questions: Can veteran Norm Charlton return to top form after missing the entire 2002 season (rotator cuff surgery); and, who will fill the role as right-handed long reliever? Ken Cloude? Rafael Soriano? Jamey Wright?
The Mariners have six weeks to make up those decisions.

Blessed Edward Waterson
- 8 January
- 29 October as one of the Martyrs of Douai
As a young man Edward travelled to Turkey with some English merchants. There he met and was befriended by a wealthy Turk who liked Edward so much that he offered his daughter in marriage if the Englishman would convert to Islam. Edward declined, but the incident set his mind on spiritual matters. The route home ran through Rome, Italy and Edward converted from Anglicanism to Catholicism in 1588. Entered the seminary at Rheims, France on 24 January 1589, ordained on 11 March 1592. Returned to England on 24 June 1592 to minister to his countrymen in hiding for their faith. Arrested for the crime of priesthood soon after, he was abused in prison for several months before being martyred.
- hanged, drawn, and quartered on 8 January 1593 at Newcastle-on-Tyne, England
- the prison horses refused to drag Edward to the scaffold
- when the guards finally got him there, the ladder jumped around to keep them from climbing it until Edward made the Sign of the Cross over it
- 8 December 1929 by Pope Pius XI (decree of martyrdom)

RCT2 was essentially RCT rebuilt from the ground up with extra content and for that reason it is a solid, brilliant game. However there were two issues I encountered with it, that held me back, and they are ones of personal experience.
Upon finishing RCT I played the Mega Park map to death. I poured literally hundreds of hours into it, resetting my park every 8 or 9 years inread more game time. I'd sell off everything and spend perhaps 2 years re-landscaping the entire park, planning out the staggered opening, footpath layouts and themes on sketch paper. It was probably the most satisfying experience I've ever encountered to produce a park which was largely automated. I'd revise price structures, free entry/paid rides or paid entry/free rides or a mix. Constantly trying to squeeze money out of my customers while making the park as perfect as possible. No vandalism, litter, no hungry or thirsty peeps. Symmetric rides, interacting with other rides, interacting with food area's, going under and over path ways.
So what's the problem? Well RCT2 has one massive advantage here, it allows me to to create the mega park from the start, but two features removed in the sequel handicapped any attempt at doing what I did in RCT.
Even though a scenario editor is included, the ability to "naturally" modify landscapes is removed while playing. Landscaping must be done one tile at a time to produce mountains or similarly natural features. A painful exercise and one which pretty much removes the capacity for massive landscaping projects while playing a scenario.
The other issue is the inability to change pricing structure while in game. The pricing system is decided by the scenario designer and cannot be changed and cannot be mixed. IF you charge into the park, you cannot charge for rides, if you charge for rides you cannot charge entrance.
This feature would be okay if you could change the system while playing, but you can't, you are stuck with the same pricing structure from start to finish, even though each structure has its advantages depending upon what point your park is it.
Most don't seem to mind these two features in the game, but because of my own personal experiences with the first game, these features made the second game very very hard to invest in.
Other than that it plays essentially the same as the first.

I remember buying this game when it first came out. It was so much fun then, and it still is! There's nothing more satisfying than building a giant rollercoaster and watching the guests literally jumping for joy :)
It builds on the themes of the original game and improves them in many ways, such as including different scenarios and themes for your park.
The two expansion packsread more add a whole host of new rides, and at such a low price, it's a fantastic deal.
I can't recommend this game enough!

I've been waiting for this game to be on GoG for a while, and finally... finally.... I spent way too much time as an 11 year old playing this game. You can seriously create any theme park and any roller coaster you want. Defy the laws of physics, create rides that end abruptly, killing everyone inside; or take the game seriously and scroll back to watch your perfectly oiled machineread more take care of itself. The amount of depth involved in the gameplay is outstanding, but it never overwhelms you. Again, I was 11 years old when I first dedicated weeks of my life to this game. The art style is very colourful, scenarios within the game can be extremely hilarious (I loved making rides that made everyone puke when they got off), and there's fun to be had for as long as you want because the game never ends. You just create until you can't create no more. And for all that and more, it deserves the title of Good Old Game. Give it a shot!

The Atlanta Police Department is cracking down on drinking and driving among officers. FOX 5's Morse Diggs has learned that the number of DUIs involving Atlanta officers has more than doubled.According APD Chief George Turner, eight officers have been arrested on DUI charges in 2012 so far. Turner is promising stiffer discipline, including termination.APD Deputy Chief Shawn Jones said that in 2011, there were three officers charged with DUI."We want to keep our officers on the right side of the law. I mean, we're held to the same standards as any citizen," said APD Deputy Chief Shawn Jones.Dennis Hammock of the Atlanta Police Union said that officers deal with troubled situations."Police officers only deal with the bad side of life. They do that most of every day that they're on the job. Maybe this is a way to escape sometimes and they just get carried away with it," said Hammock.Turner said the stiffer penalties will begin on Saturday. Officers face a minimum of losing three weeks' pay if they get a DUI. Union officials said they would like to see more treatment plans than suspensions.

After all, chicken is the go-to protein for many of you, and well, what's easier to enjoy than a plump rotisserie? While I love savoring the chicken's crispy skin and succulent meat right out of the rotisserie oven, here are a few ways I also incorporate it into my weeknight meals. Make chicken soup for the soul. What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Rotisserie chicken incorporates easily into a tongue-numbing chicken tortilla soup. 1 / 10 Take a cue from the 'que. What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Instead of a barbecue brisket or pulled-pork sandwich, shred your chicken and mix it with a finger-lickin' cola barbecue sauce. Sandwich it between two halves of a roll, and you've got yourself some barbecued love! 2 / 10 Add heft to an otherwise light salad. What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Incorporate a bit more meat into a healthy Asian-inspired salad, or mix shredded breast into classic coleslaw for a meal in minutes. 3 / 10 One word: quesadillas! What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Make chicken even more of a crowd-pleaser by sneaking some meat into Katie Lee's buffalo chicken quesadillas. Serve them as a simple entrée, or cut small slivers and offer them to guests as finger food. 4 / 10 Make it easy as (pot) pie. What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 With the help of a rotisserie and prepared pie crusts, chicken pot pie suddenly gets much simpler. Make it on a slow Sunday night, and enjoy a slice every day for the rest of the week. 6 / 10 Rotisserie: a quick and dirty enchilada filling. What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Toss leftover light or dark meat with roasted tomatillo chile salsa (or a good store-bought brand, if you're tight on time) for the easiest enchilada filling ever. 6 / 10 Add oomph to your sandwich. What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Whether it's a grilled cheese or an avocado tomato melt, we're pretty sure that your sandwich will like the addition of some juicy rotisserie chicken. 7 / 10 Take stock of the bones. What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Don't think of throwing that carcass away! Instead, use the chicken's bones for making a rich, flavorful stock. 8 / 10 Chicken salad: it's good on everything. What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Whether your vehicle's a crunchy celery stick, a piece of sandwich bread, or a saltine cracker, dressing it with salad made from rotisserie chicken is guaranteed to make it better. 9 / 10 Toss it alongside pasta or grains. What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Rotisserie's an easy add-in for pasta salads, whether it's a Mediterranean version with olives, our sun-dried tomato favorite, a simple pesto variation, or even a healthy quinoa toss. 11 / 10 368 55 12 2 0 Read More Cooking BasicsRotisserie ChickenSlideshowChickenHow ToTips Cooking Basics This Watermelon Shark Will Make Your Jaw Drop 23 hours ago How to Peel Tomatoes, in Pictures 2 days ago A Surefire Way to Determine How Much Heat a Jalapeño Is Packing 3 days ago Spaghetti Aglio, Olio, e Peperoncino 3 days ago The Only Way to Know When Grilled Meat Is Done 5 days ago How to Peel Peaches Without Making a Huge Mess 6 days ago Get a Personalized Living Newsletter!

Welcome to the real world. The data from the school district's demographic consultant clearly showed this was going to happen before the $91M was committed to the short sighted four campus plan and was pointed out to the board at the time.
Being a school board member is a non-trivial job dealing with a wide variety of issues that require a serious time commitment, and good judgement. We respect that kind of commitment. But sadly, Rich and Thygesen who suffer from terminal hindsight smugly dismissed the idea of taking back the O'Connor campus and spending the then estimated 7-8 % of the bond money on major improvement to that facility despite compelling data from their own commissioned studies.
They continued their opposition at the next opportunity to terminate the GAIS sweetheart deal. As a result they also passed up the opportunity to buy a large property adjacent to the O'Conner site for a song.
In a public school board meeting at that time, Rich sneered at the idea of ever having a school in the Willows even though the entry level student population was growing there at a higher rate than anywhere else in the district.Thygesen's view then as now was if we need another campus we will just have to get residents to support another bond issue.
These two with then Supt. Ranella were apparently more concerned with creating lasting monuments to themselves rather than looking at the long term impacts to both students and the community. And Ranella? he retired with exceedingly generous pay increases and benefits.
But Rich and Thygesen are still there trying again to avoid the fruits of their past decisions.
They may find it harder to get support for another bond issue.

These scenarios are ridiculous. All of the palatable scenarios require another bond measure. The only scenario that doesn't is completely ridiculous. Ghysels and the board are trying to passive aggressively convince taxpayers that the only possible solution requires a multimillion dollar bond.
I appreciate the history provided by Old Timer. Poor decisions made by the board seem to always cost the taxpayers more money. Perhaps if they had been more prudent in their spending with the building of hillview, there would have been enough money left over to make reasonable renovations to O'Connor without the need to fleece the community with another bond.

The school board is nominally elected, but probably most residents can't remember the last time they voted in an election for board trustees. That's because the board is an in-group, they handpick their successors, and outsiders aren't even made aware that a transition is occurring.
I have only the greatest respect for anyone who volunteers for this job. But Laura's kids are in their 20s and I think Terry's kids checked out of the public schools a while ago. The fact that they both have a long history with the board is not a compelling reason for them to remain. It's past time to break up the cabal.

People's Republik Of California Now #1 In Poverty
The brokeyest broke state in the nation (which means it is also one of the brokeyest broke entities in the world, as it has the world's 8th largest economy) has long served as the place where the far left has conducted field experiments for their policies. How's that working out? Neil Munro tells us
(Daily Caller) The Golden State has fallen on hard times, with a poverty rate that is now twice as bad as West Virginia's and substantially worse than the rates of poverty in Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas and Texas.
Democrat-run California earned its last-place rank under the federal government's new measure of poverty, which incorporates more detailed analyses of welfare payments and the local costs of food, gasoline and housing. (View the new census data report)
The state's costs are boosted by its environmental and workplace regulations, and by 38 million residents' competition for housing close to the sea.
Hooray, they're #1, they're #!!!!!1!!!! I'm betting they really want to lean on the liberal trope that there are no winners and losers, so everyone should get a blue ribbon for competing.
The new measure, dubbed the "Supplemental Poverty Measure," revised the California's poverty rate from 16.3 percent up to 23.5 percent.
The report estimates that roughly 8.8 million people in California were poor during between 2009 and 2011, when Democrats controlled the state legislature and governorship, as well as the White House. (snip)
The new measure supplants a poverty gauge developed in the 1960s. It incorporates the economic impact of welfare programs, transportation and child-care costs, changes in child-rearing practices – especially the impact of single parents raising kids – plus differences in the region's average prices and health care costs.
This is all despite the large number of lefties working in the entertainment and tech industries, making boodles of money and refusing to give back. A large number of 1%ers failing to help the 99%ers.
The massive influx of illegal aliens sure doesn't help. They've caused many southern California emergency rooms to shut down, and approximately one third of the California prison population is comprised of illegals. Then you add in the "progressive" nanny state policies and high taxes, the job killing uber-environmental policies, support of unions policies, and other workplace policies, and you end up with Brokeifornia having the worst poverty rate. Congratulations!

Farm death man's family pay tribute
11:00am Thursday 25th October 2012 in News
THE family and friends of a former soldier who died in an accident on a farm have paid tribute to him.
Dean Henderson-Smith, 46, died last Thursday after falling through a barn roof at Great Park Farm, near Besselsleigh.
His partner Sacha said: "Dean was my soulmate, best friend, partner and ray of light.
"What little time I had with my sweetheart was filled with happiness, love and joy and I will hold those memories in my heart forever."
His stepson Jake Henderson-Smith added: "There is no definitive way to describe my dad. I can confidently say that he was the happiest, bubbliest, most charismatic man I have ever met.
"Not only have I lost my dad, I have lost my best friend."
Mr Henderson-Smith, of High Street, Long Wittenham, joined the former Royal Corps of Transport aged 18. The regiment later became part of the Royal Logistic Corps and he was based at Abingdon. He served in the Army for 22 years and reached the rank of Sergeant Major, serving in Germany, Kuwait, Bosnia, Northern Ireland, Iraq and Afghanistan.
Friends of Mr Henderson said: "Dean was a friend, son, partner and dad. A fantastic, lovely, special, thoughtful and considerate man and everyone who knew him has lost something special."
Police and the Health & Safety Executive are investigating his death.

Brendan Donnelly used to be one of the very best relievers in baseball. He didn't make the majors until he was 30, and in his second season he made the All-Star team as a setup man. That's hard to do. Easier when your manager is picking the reserves, but still hard to do. And based on when Donnelly came up (2002), you'd think that a sudden success like that might have something to do with illegal substances. You'd be right.
But Donnelly's success didn't just have to do with the substances listed in the Mitchell Report. He was also a known pine-tar user, getting suspended 10 games for an incident against the Nationals in 2005. And in light of Joel Peralta's ejection and likely suspension, Donnelly doesn't see what the big deal is about the sticky stuff:
"The way I look at it is Peralta didn't do anything wrong, and I didn't do anything wrong," Donnelly told the Times. "It's not cheating, not about having the ball do funky things. It's about getting a grip.
I've asked dozens of hitters about this: 'Do you want me to throw 90-plus knowing what the ball is going to do, or do you want me to risk letting it slip?' They all want the pitcher to have control. So pine tar should be legal."
Compelling argument, actually. Not likely a successful one, but it makes sense. Alas, Joe Torre and Bud Selig aren't likely to be swayed, and if Donnelly's suspension is any guide, Peralta could miss up to ten games.

Careme's Cafe Series
Take the intimate feel of a coffee-house, add top-notch live contemporary folk/rock, mix in a light gourmet dinner, and you're enjoying an evening at Careme's Cafe. Since the cafe series first emerged in 1996, demand for tickets has grown along with the program's reputation for really good entertainment. Only about 60 guests are admitted to each performance, so it's a good idea to buy tickets well in advance. The Cafe Series is held in Careme's, the gourmet restaurant operated by the Academy of Culinary Arts on Atlantic Cape's Mays Landing Campus.
Spring 2014 Performance
- Patty Blee, Thursday, Feb. 27
People who love folk rock appreciate this chance to see and hear really good performers close-up. Careme's introduces you to the most talented emerging musicians, often before they are discovered by the music world at large. Many musicians are singer-songwriters. A complete list of past performers can be found here.
Food at Careme's is prepared and served by student-chefs from the Academy of Culinary Arts, under the supervision of Academy faculty. The light four-course dinner includes soup, salad, choice of entree and choice of dessert. Entrees include a vegetable. Some past entrees: lacquered game hen with Calvados, apple cider, honey and figs; grilled herbed polenta tian with eggplant, portabella and smoked tomato coulis. Typical desserts: chocolate souffle cake with white chocolate ganache and raspberry coulis; poached pears with apricot compote and port wine reduction. Menu for the upcoming concert is usually available about three weeks before the event.
Dinner starts at 6:30 p.m., and the show begins at 8:15 p.m.
Tickets are $35. To purchase tickets for the dinner show, call 609-343-4907 or e-mail email@example.com. Please indicate choice of entrée and dessert and if you wish to be seated with friends. Maximum table size is six seats.

RICHLAND, Wash. -- At the high school level, spring sports are set to begin, and Richland Bombers softball returns with a lot of holes to fill. Last season Richland finished third at the 4A state tournament. The Bombers have to replace seven senior starters, but they have key returnees in cancer survivor Monika Hebky and University of Oregon commit April Utecht. Is there any competition between the Bomber softball and baseball teams, which both finished third at state?
"Um, not really," head softball coach Casey Emery said. "Actually I think the girls end of it, they root for the boys. They want them to do really well. There's really no competition as far as who's going to go higher than the other. If we had won a state championship and they took second, there might be a little ribbing there, but being third and third, there's really nothing to discuss there."

Biggest sports scandals of all time
POSTED: 1:38 PM Jun 05 2013 UPDATED: 1:45 PM Apr 29 2014

Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling was suspended from the NBA for life and fined the maximum $2.5 million after a league investigation determined racist comments on a recording were indeed made by Sterling. From questionable wins to doping allegations, here's a look at sports scandals that shocked the world.

For those hoping to hear more postulating from Ohio State's in-house Nostradumbass, you'll be waiting for a while.
As you no doubt have heard by now, Buckeyes wide receiver Evan Spencer made headlines and/or created a stir Monday when he very confidently stated his team would "wipe the field" with the top teams in the country if given the opportunity. That didn't sit well with fans of other schools — or, more importantly, Spencer's head coach.
Speaking to the media Tuesday on the weekly Big Ten coaches teleconference, an obviously-agitated Urban Meyer made it perfectly clear that he was not happy with his player's comments, comments that he viewed as "disrespecting other teams." The head coach also made it perfectly clear that would be the last time Spencer gets the opportunity to share what might be locker-room talk with the masses.
"I'm very disappointed. I can't stand that. … He certainly is not the spokesman for our team. As a result, Evan won't talk to the media for a long, long time.
"You don't do that. That's not good sportsmanship and that's not what we expect. I understand he's a young man and made a minor mistake, but we just don't do that. You talk about your teammates, talk about the team and move on."
Added Meyer, "[w]hat he believes and what goes on in the locker room certainly doesn't need to be in the paper."
To his credit, Spencer took to Twitter Monday night to apologize for the situation that his words created and for which he was chastised by his coach.
I did not mean to disrespect any FB team today. I am confident in my team, and as is evident in the video, I was having fun …—

…with the media answering their questions. I should have chosen my words more wisely. There was no intent to disrespect any other team.—

We've never seen Bernard Hopkins definitively beaten. Chad Dawson and maybe Calzaghe gave him his worst beatings in recent years. Both of those losses werent beatings by any stretch. They were both close and competitive fights. How do you beat Hopkins 117 - 111 or wider? Or better yet, how would someone go in and STOP hopkins. I know a lot of fighters and trainers peruse the board, gimme some of your expert opinion and insight.

Add that Hopkins has Godly stamina even at 48... always had great stamina- Bottom line Hopkins is one of a kind- What we are seeing will not be seen in a long time when he is done. His defense, movement, and perfectly placed shots at the right time is pugilism at its best.. maybe boring to some, yet pure mastery of the essence of the sweet science to others. Hopkins is too smart in there - It would take a Mike Tyson in his prime style at 175 to do him in.. that does not exist
