Diner Reviews
Booked here for convenience after
going to the view at the top of the rock in the evening. There is nothing better than average about this restaurant. The burger is tasteless, the fries over-seasoned. The salmon was well presented but unexciting. Our waiter was indifferent and distracted, in general the service was disappointing. Head out of midtown if you can."

We booked a table during retaurant
week, and were placed just in front of the golden angel, that was great. But when asked for the restaurant week menu, we had to move the back tables on the side. Food was worth the price - only 25$ for 3 course menu- but service was not so friendly. Guess the restaurant week was nice to discover the restaurant but the restaurant week do impact on what you get."

Enjoyed my annual "Birthday

We had 9 for breakfast, 4 adults
and 5 children (4-11). The staff was very nice and the food was great. Fun place with great view."
Dined on 8/13/2014
When we arrived we were really
lucky to be seated right next to the fountain, which made our visit. The food was little better than fast food really but with a high price tag. The cocktail I had was delicious and that mixed with the fountain made it a great evening. The quality of the food let it down though."

I went here during the holidays
two years ago and was very disappointed . This time I really enjoyed the summer menu . The down side was slow service , freezing ac and long lines to the bathroom because of the outdoor patio. Wasn't the best meal but was good enough to return ."
Dined on 8/10/2014
I was great being outside looking
at the water and statue in the heart of Rockerfeller center but the waitress was attentive to all her customers except us and mentioned that it was my birthday and nothing was done even though meal came with dessert"
Dined on 8/8/2014
This restaurant looks out on
either the skating rink , or an outdoor garden seating, depending on the season, with the Prometheus Statute Fountain to the side. The food is very good, and the service was excellent!"
Dined on 8/7/2014
There were four of us and our food
was good but portions were small, especially the hanger steak. Service was a little slow as our waiter kept on disappearing to the outside diners. The best thing about this restaurant is the setting."
Dined on 8/5/2014
A friend and I specifically went
to try this restaurant during NYC Restaurant Week. Therefore, our menu choices were limited. The gazpacho soup was good with a bit of spice. We both had the cod, which I found just fair, a little dry, but I my friend enjoyed it a bit more than I did. The lemon tart was deemed okay. I thought the banana split tartufo was quite good. The service was quite prompt and friendly enough. The scenery from the restaurant is nice and is probably beautiful in the winter when you can look out at the skating rink. The cafe has a pleasant ambience. Based on our experience, this might not be the place for you if you prefer big portion sizes."
Dined on 8/5/2014
Restaurant week brough us in, but
we will definitely return. The choices on the special menu were great. There is something for everyone. The salad was large with the perfect amount of dressing. The salmon was done well with a crunchy farro salad underneath. The banana split tartufo was sweet, crunchy and flavorful. The sizes of the courses was perfect. YOu can also look out the huge windows at Rockefeller Center in all of its glory."
Dined on 8/4/2014
Great food, great location. A bit
on the pricey side but great for work lunches. Service left a bit to be desired."
Dined on 8/4/2014
Been here a lot of times for lunch
and it is very nice. I like the outdoor seating where you can enjoy the waterfall and the statue, which feels like you are on vacation. Food is good. Sometimes when it gets busy it takes a while for service to be attentive, but you just have to relax and enjoy the ambience. They are accomodating with food, seating, and services if you request them. Their burgers and fries are very good. I also tried the salmon and pasta which were all very good as well. You need to keep in mind of which area you select your food. Some portions maybe less than others. Must try the banana split ice cream!"
Dined on 8/4/2014
I had lunch at Rock Center Cafe
during Restaurant Week, so the price was fairly reasonable. The organic greens were surprisingly tasty. The seared cod was also delicious. I believe they forgot about me- the waiter came over at one point and asked if I'd received the cod yet, then apologized when he brought it. But it was fine, I was happy just being there. Dessert was a banana split and it was heavenly. The ice cream half-scoops were coated on one side with a chocolate shell and the bananas were carmelized. The only complaint I would have is that since I had a reservation, I was expecting to be seated out on the skating rink area with a great view. Instead, I was seated off to the side beside a large hedge so couldn't see much of anything."
Dined on 8/4/2014
Food was expensive for what you
get. Out door birds can be pesty if sitting by bushes. Quality was good.. Service was good."

It's a wonderful place for lunch.
Great location and great view of the fountain. We went there during the restaurant week offer. It makes the dining experience even better. I would recommend the place."

The food was amazing and the
service exemplary. I highly recommend Rock Center Cafe and will return again."

We took the grandchildren to lunch
before the theater. The wait staff could not have been kinder or more helpful. They graciously dealt with all the needs that arose (and fell). The food was terrific and we were on our way to the theater with time to spare. The Rock Center Café should always be an option in midtown."
Dined on 7/27/2014
Went for what I thought was a
Sunday brunch. There were maybe three breakfast items. Limited lunch menu. Thought it was a bit overpriced for what you get. I make excellent scrambled eggs and theirs were not. I don't mind paying the price if the food is worth it but this was not. That said, it was very pleasant eating where the ice rink is in winter and in front of fountain. However I can see why it wasn't very crowded even at 11:30 on a Sunday morning. The locals all know better."
Dined on 7/27/2014
It was really nice a place I will
never forget I got engaged there it was perfect and beautiful food was good and our service was amazing his name was Sean. It was amazing would go there again."
Dined on 7/25/2014
The food was a really good
standard but systemic operational procedures detracted from the experience. For two of the three courses we were delivered food and then sat and waited a considerable time for cutlery to eat it with.We exchanged glances with other couples in the same predicament"

My family and I enjoyed our
scrumptious three course meal in the heart of NEW York City. Delicious food, great servers, and great for people-watching."
Dined on 7/24/2014
The service was too slow and not
as polite as I expected"
Dined on 7/22/2014
Sure, it's a tourist trap but the
food was good (hard to screw up a cheeseburger) if not over priced (welcome to New York) and the view and ambience was great fun. Our kids (11 and 7 years old) loved looking at the fountain and the server was great. Noisy, but not too loud to have a conversation without raised voices. Request outdoor seating if weather permits."
Dined on 7/20/2014
Not much variety but the
appetizers and service were great!!!"
Dined on 7/16/2014
Recently had breakfast with a
group of 7 people. Food was excellent from simple pancakes and eggs to inventive omelettes (shrimp, fava bean, and fontina cheese, chorizo, among others.) Fresh squeezed OJ, French Press (non-stop) coffee, attentive yet unobtrusive multi person service, comfortable seats with ample space between them made for a great atmosphere. New Yorkers who think it's touristy don't get it. The cognoscenti know what the tourists know. It's a great restaurant!"
Dined on 7/16/2014
Rock Center Cafe has a great view
of the Prometheus fountain (and the skating rink in Winter), you can either dine in or out in the Summer, this time we dined in as rain was forecast. Having only an hour for lunch, the staff was very accommodating of our schedule, the food was very good, and the service was fast. We would dine there again."

We enjoyed a fabulous glass of
wine at lunch on a table next to the iconic statue/fountain. While it was very pricey, we enjoyed the food and the service plus the amazing setting"

Recommend the watermelon-tomato
salad. Loved sitting by the fountain. Room for improvement: the hosts and hostesses were inexperienced and, with the exception of one, not very polite. Get better help at the desk. Otherwise, delightful. Surprising for such a touristy location.--BashfulAdventurer.com"

Overly priced and very small
portions. Guacamole $17 and not so good. good for drinks"

The food was spectacular and the
service was outstanding. We cannot wait to go back."
Dined on 7/6/2014
I've been here three times now.
The food is delicious and the portions are big, not what you'd expect at a place like this. Sitting indoors offers a classy experience, while sitting outside is a bit more casual, but so nice in good weather. I've never had a bad waiter, and our last one was extra nice. They always get the order right, which shouldn't be a plus, but if you've eaten a lot of places in nyc, you understand it is! The only thing that keeps me from going here a lot (I work in 30 rock) is the prices. I love the shrimp chop chop salad, but at $28 it's a once in a while type of thing."

My friends and I enjoyed the Rock
very much. The food was good but little over priced"

Had a great lunch while shopping

Had Sunday Brunch (10:00 a.m.)
with my wife & daughter (9 yrs old). Service was great, food was great, ambiance was great. Food was hot and tasty and came out quickly. Limited menu selection for finicky 9 year old palate, but we were able to "special order" pancakes and eggs with no trouble."
Dined on 6/29/2014
My daughter and I had a wonderful,
outdoor lunch at the Rock Center Cafe. The guacamole was delicious and both of our salads had the right blend of favors. We will definitely go back to dine here again!"

-- It will make you stronger. It will give you peace of mind and make
you feel like a winner. Health insurance is what the whole country has
been talking about, so don't be left out.
like a sales pitch? Get ready for a lot more. As President Barack
Obama's health care law moves from theory to reality in the coming
months, its success may hinge on whether the best minds in advertising
can reach one of the hardest-to-find parts of the population: people
without health coverage.
The campaign won't
come cheap: The total amount to be spent nationally on publicity,
marketing and advertising will be at least $684 million, according to
data compiled The Associated Press from federal and state sources.
16 percent of Americans are uninsured, but despite years of political
debate and media attention, more than three-quarters of them still know
little about the law known as "Obamacare," according to recent surveys.

executive officer of the Chicago-based Jayne Agency, one of the
advertising firms crafting messages to reach the uninsured.

summer to get the word out before enrollment for new benefits begins in
The targets are mostly the working
poor, young people who are disengaged, or those who gave up their
insurance because of the cost. Three-quarters are white. Eighty-six
percent have a high school education or less. Together they make up a
blind spot in the nation's health care system.
been shut out. It's too expensive and it's incredibly confusing," said
David Smith of the advertising agency GMMB, pitching the health law's
benefits in Washington and Vermont.
confusion might only have been magnified by the administration's
surprise announcement recently postponing part of the system that
affects businesses. But that change should not affect many individuals. A
bigger complication is that in about half the states, Republican
governors are declining to cooperate, which will limit the marketing.
states that have been more receptive to the health care overhaul and
are further ahead in their planning will receive proportionally more
federal money for outreach, advertising and marketing than
Republican-led states that have been hostile to the law.
research from all 50 states shows the amount of government spending
will range from a low of 46 cents per capita in Wisconsin, which has
ceded responsibility for its health insurance exchange to the federal
government, to $9.23 per capita in West Virginia, which opted for a
state-federal partnership.
About $4.8 million

She has not had

heart condition. She's been struggling with chest pains, arthritis and

the cost of your health insurance. If you can afford a policy, by law
you have to get one. People will be directed to healthcare.gov, a
government site, for more information.
political stakes for the Obama administration in a big response are
high. If only the sickest people sign up, the cost of their medical care
could overburden insurance carriers and sink the new marketplaces. The
new system depends on a balanced pool.
The ad campaign already underway in Colorado demonstrates the search for an effective message.
TV commercials show people being magically transformed into champions.

they're winning at a horse race, in a casino or at the World Series

ODU's Weinstein to Discuss 'Guesstimation' on Radio Show
Lawrence Weinstein, a nuclear physicist on the faculty of Old Dominion University, will be a guest on the public radio show "With Good Reason," which will be broadcast on stations in Virginia and the District of Columbia the week of March 31. He will discuss the art of guesstimation, a way of looking at the world around us, from the power output of a gerbil to the relative dangers of a shark attack.
The program will be broadcast in southeastern Virginia by WHRV-89.5 F.M. at 1:30 p.m. on Thursday, April 3. A broadcast also can be heard by visiting the Hampton Roads public broadcasting family of Web sites at WHRO.org.
At withgoodreasonradio.org, the program will be available in the future within the site's archives. "With Good Reason" is produced for the Virginia Higher Education Broadcasting Consortium by the Virginia Foundation for the Humanities and is broadcast in partnership with public radio stations.
Weinstein, a University Professor of physics, tries through his writings about guesstimation to improve our understanding of the numbers that bombard us each day. For example, he offers a visual reference of lottery tickets stacked up to an over flying jet to help people comprehend what it means to have one in 170 million chances to win a lottery. Numerical literacy helps us make sense of our world, Weinstein says, and keeps us from jumping to conclusions or formulating opinions that do not conform to universal laws.
He and John Adam, ODU professor of mathematics and statistics, have written a book, "Guesstimation: Solving the World's Problems on the Back of a Cocktail Napkin" (Princeton University Press), that is scheduled to be in bookstores by April 21. Weinstein also writes a column in The Physics Teacher magazine titled "Fermi Questions." This is a term scientists use for the sort of questions that the renowned physicist Enrico Fermi could answer with quick applications of physical laws and numerical reasoning.

It wasn't so long ago the MLS team were not considered to be particularly relevant in CONCACAF Champions League. Up until last year's tournament, no MLS team had ever advanced as far as the semifinals, let alone won a championship under the current format.
Of course, that all changed when Real Salt Lake came up just short in the finals against Monterrey. RSL's performance showed that MLS teams can not only compete in CCL, but they can even stand toe-to-toe with Mexican teams. During their near storybook run, RSL twice tied Mexican teams in Mexico and actually beat Cruz Azul at home.
With five MLS teams in this year's tournament, we could see an unprecedented number of teams advance into the Knockout Stage. We here at SB Nation Soccer have taken a look at each team's chances and given an overview of who we think stands a good chance of advancing. Spoiler alert: We think four teams stand good chances of moving along, with only Toronto FC really looking like a longshot.

Wide Plot Seen In Guilty Plea In Iraq Project
By JAMES GLANZ; Elizabeth Rubin contributed reporting for this article.
Published: February 2, 2006
Robert J. Stein Jr. could not have been clearer about his feelings toward the American businessman who was receiving millions of dollars in contracts from Mr. Stein to build a major police academy and other reconstruction projects in Iraq.
''I love to give you money,'' Mr. Stein wrote in an e-mail message to the businessman, Philip H. Bloom, on Jan. 3, 2004, just as the United States was trying to ramp up its rebuilding program in Iraq.
As it turned out, Mr. Stein had the money to give. Despite a prior conviction on felony fraud that his Pentagon background check apparently missed, Mr. Stein was hired and put in charge of at least $82 million of reconstruction money in the south central Iraqi city of Hilla by the Coalition Provisional Authority, the American-led administration that was then running Iraq.
In United States District Court in Washington, court papers indicate, Mr. Stein will plead guilty today to conspiracy, bribery, money laundering, possession of a machine gun and being a felon in possession of firearms, for essentially giving millions of that money to Mr. Bloom, and taking millions more for himself. Mr. Stein used some of his stolen money, the papers say, to buy items as wildly diverse as grenade launchers, machine guns, a Lexus, ''an interest in one Porsche,'' a Cessna airplane, two plots of real estate in Hope Mills, N.C., a Toshiba personal computer, 18 Breitling watches, a 6-carat diamond ring and a collection of silver dollars. The papers say that the ring of corruption was much wider than previously known, drawing at least seven Americans, including Mr. Stein, Mr. Bloom and five Army reserve officers, into what is portrayed as a maelstrom of greed, sex and gun-running at the heart of the American occupation of a conservative Muslim country.
As part of their bribery scheme, Mr. Stein and his co-conspirators dispensed and received a wide range of other items like cigars, alcohol, first-class plane tickets and ''money laundering services,'' according to the papers. And if all of that were not enough reason for Mr. Stein to love giving money to his partner, the papers say, there was another: Mr. Bloom kept a villa in Baghdad where he provided women who gave sexual favors to officials he hoped to influence, including Mr. Stein. Mr. Bloom's lawyer, Robert A. Mintz, declined to comment on the case.
The court papers say the money was taken by outright theft of millions of dollars in cash -- some of it then lugged aboard commercial flights back to the United States -- by steering millions of dollars in construction contracts to Mr. Bloom's companies in return for bribes, and through international wire transfers of millions more.
Over all, Mr. Stein is accused of stealing at least $2 million of American taxpayer money and Iraqi funds, which came from Iraqi oil proceeds and money seized from Saddam Hussein's government, accepting at least $1 million in money and goods in direct bribes and grabbing another $600,000 in cash and goods that belonged to the Coalition Provisional Authority. In return, Mr. Stein and his cronies used rigged bids to steer at least $8.6 million in contracts for buildings like the police academy, a library and a center meant to promote democracy, the papers say.
The papers say ''Stein and his co-conspirators recommended numerous construction projects in Hilla, Iraq, that were intended to be, and were in fact, steered'' to Mr. Bloom. That charge suggests that Mr. Stein, using his perch at the provisional authority, was manipulating at least part of the reconstruction program to enrich himself and his cronies.
There have so far been four arrests in the case, including Mr. Stein, of Fayetteville, N.C., and Mr. Bloom, who lived for many years in Romania. The others, who like Mr. Stein served as C.P.A. officials whose authority extended over a vast territory centered on Hilla, are Lt. Col. Debra Harrison of Trenton and Lt. Col. Michael Wheeler of Amherst Junction, Wis. They were all arrested late last year. Lawyers for Colonel Harrison and Colonel Wheeler did not immediately respond to phone messages left late last night.
The papers covering Mr. Stein's likely plea deal refer to Mr. Bloom, Colonel Harrison and Colonel Wheeler only as numbered co-conspirators, but their names are easily deduced from the context. The remaining three people called co-conspirators have not yet been publicly charged with crimes and their names are not known. The papers also suggest that others may have been involved.
As described in the court papers, reports by the Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction, and other public documents, the story of Mr. Stein's slide into the depths of corruption began shortly after he was sent to Iraq after being hired by S&K Technologies, a St. Ignatius, Mont., company that had won Army contracts to provide administrative support in Iraq.
Although S&K's contract called for Pentagon background checks, some of which were actually carried out, according to former S&K employees, Mr. Stein was given extraordinary authority in Iraq to authorize and spend money, in spite of his fraud conviction in the mid-1990's.

- The Sleeping Beauty is the pinnacle of classical ballet: a perfect marriage of Petipa's choreography, Tchaikovsky's music and a glorious challenge for every dancer onstage. It is also The Royal Ballet's signature work. Today's Sleeping Beauty features additional choreography by Anthony Dowell, Christopher Wheeldon and Frederick Ashton, and stars Lauren Cuthbertson & Sergei Polunin. Mark Monahan of The Telegraph raves: "A one-stop history of the art form up to that point, it remains the apotheosis of regal Russian classicism and a thematic tapestry of unrivalled richness, all playing out to Tchaikovsky's most opulent and ingeniously constructed score."

It's time to take another vintage video trip down Cuse hoops memory lane, but this time, the Orangeman in the spotlight isn't a member of the All-Century team, nor is he necessarily a household name amongst SU fans.
Regardless, Brooklyn, NY's Wendell Alexis ended up with a solid four-year career at Syracuse. His first three campaigns were spent as a sixth man, producing quality minutes in place of Andre Hawkins, Sean Kerins and Rony Seikaly in the frontcourt. Alexis is remembered for his oh-so soft shooting touch (which helped him to a splendid 79% career free throw percentage), and for his unsmiling, steely-cold stare of a hardwood assassin.
Check out his numbers, and marvel at his consistent improvement each year, culminating in a sparkling senior season in which he earned a spot on the All-Big East second team and as an All-American Honorable Mention as Cuse's second leading scorer (behind Pearl Washington) and #2 rebounder (behind Seikaly).

TULLAHOMA, Tenn. (AP) - Federal contractor Aerospace Testing Alliance has sent "do not report" notices to between 100 and 150 workers and plans to tell another 300 people to stay home from work because of the government shutdown.
ATA spokeswoman Kathy Gattis told The Tullahoma News the employees notified on Friday have been told not to come back to work "until the government crisis ends." The second group of employees will be told to stay home until Oct. 21, when the company will begin a new round of testing.
Gattis says many of ATA's 1,682 employees will be compensated using their accrued vacation time.
Gattis says ATA is asking workers who did not receive notices to use their vacation days to allow the contractor to stretch its available funding as far as possible.Copyright 2013 The Associated Press. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed.

It seems rather fitting that my first ND/SB post would be tied to this. Greetings one and all! This is strictly related to the Nets coming to London for a second time in January 2014. There were some rumors around here that there may be a European version of the Loud and Proud section for the London Games. Or at least some show of healthy support for our beloved Nets. In 2011, D-Will fresh on board, the Nets owned the Raptors in both games (well, the second was a thriller, but still). It pained me to see that my friend and I -then students in the UK, now back in our home country of Romania- were among the very few who actually rooted for the Nets. The British masses were there for the show and the booze, which is understandable, but still a bit annoying.
I know some of you are coming from Ireland and even Singapore (correct me if I'm wrong, I've read those comments a while back), and we're making quite the journey ourselves. While seeing the Nets play is rewarding enough, it's safe to say we'd all want a picture or a quick chat with our favorite players - not to mention yelling "Brooo-klyn" at the top of our lungs!
If there is a topic about this already, please disregard this. If not, let everyone know! What seats are you buying? Let's get organized and get stuff done! Meet and greets, Loud and Proud, etc.
My suggestion, having been to the O2 before, is LEVEL 4A. Tickets there go for about 60 GBP (96$) and have a great side view. Another option would be LEVEL 4B, the very top ring, which is 5 pounds less.
How do people feel about the idea?
Thanks for your time!

It's NASCAR race day at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, Calif. and we've got the actual race start time, the starting lineup and some other facts about today's race for you below.
What time does the race start today? Remember the Three Stooges from the Daytona 500? The actors from the upcoming movie "delivered" the green flag to the flagstand after two actresses from the film were grand marshals. Well, now the Stooges themselves are grand marshals, and they'll give the command at 3:07 p.m. Eastern time. The field is scheduled to take the green flag at 3:16 p.m., but that's highly unlikely due to the weather forecast today.
Race name/distance: The Auto Club 400 is 200 laps around the 2-mile Fontana track. The race distance is significant because the track chose to go with the 400-mile distance when it was cut back to one date instead of keeping the 500-mile distance.
TV and radio: Today's race can be seen on FOX. Every Sprint Cup Series race through May will be on the FOX network. Unfortunately, there is no live streaming of the race – but you can listen on the Motor Racing Network's Web site (just click the red link). You can also check MRN's site for a list of affiliate stations in your area.
National anthem: Old-school rockers Night Ranger will sing the national anthem today after performing a pre-race concert. Pop star JoJo was originally scheduled to do the anthem, but was replaced for an unknown reason.
Tickets: Auto Club Speedway hasn't come close to selling out for years. There are plenty of tickets available if you're interested in attending.
Weather: The unofficial NASCAR weatherman, Brian Neudorff, says today's race will likely be a washout. Neudorff says there's less than a 10 percent chance the race gets in today, so it will likely be a Monday event. You can see Neudorff's complete forecast here.
Last time: Kevin Harvick out-dueled Jimmie Johnson in one of the more exciting finishes of the 2011 season, beating the No. 48 car to the line and debunking the myth of Johnson's "golden horseshoe" – a term Harvick christened after losing to Johnson at Fontana in 2010.
Starting lineup for today's NASCAR race at Auto Club Speedway:
- Denny Hamlin

Sleep is crucial to a healthy lifestyle and disease prevention. In today's hectic world, many people have trouble working in the amount of sleep they need each night. The term "sleep disorders" can refer to a wide variety of disorders that either prevent or disrupt sleep. But sleep disorders do more than just prevent sleep – they can also increase the risk of serious and chronic health conditions, such as obesity, depression, diabetes, and heart disease. Thousands of auto accidents each year are attributed to drowsy driving. It's clear lack of sleep can affect not just you, but those around you.| MORE
If you need copious amounts of caffeine just to get through the day, and you feel persistently exhausted, you already know there's something amiss with your sleep. But a lack of good sleep can manifest itself in other ways too. Sleep studies are tests that measure how well you sleep and how your body responds to sleep problems.| MORE
Because sleep disorders and sleep apnea have more than one cause, we offer more than one treatment. However, the only treatment you'll get from us is the one that suits you the best. Out board-certified sleep physicians use their vast experience, the latest research, latest technology, and advances in clinically proven medicine to support your health and well-being.| MORE
Losing sleep tends to make people eat more and gain weight. The relationship between sleep loss and weight gain is a strong one, and has been shown in a variety of studies over the years. Large population studies show that both adults and children are more likely to be overweight and obese the less they sleep at night.| MORE
Inadequate, disrupted, poor-quality, non-restful, and at times elusive sleep constitutes one of the most common complaints raised by parents to pediatricians. The consequences can be serious, and range from behavioral concerns and academic failure to delayed growth, failure to thrive, and cardiovascular problems. For this reason it is important for both parents and educators to understand how sleep works and how disruptions in normal sleep patterns can affect children and teenagers.| MORE

With a background in Internal Medicine, I developed a passion for Sleep Medicine while during a sleep rotation and observed directly how people were impacted both medically and personally by sleep related issues. My personal practice philosophy is centered on my patient and how I can help them to feel better, and live better. As my patient's advocate, it gives me tremendous pleasure to hear my patients exclaim time and again, 'Oh my gosh, I feel like I got my life back!' The treatment of sleep disorders can be life changing and may also involve a lifetime of care. Our team is here to cheer you on when needed, monitor your progress, and as necessary, adjust and refine your treatment plan. We're right there for you before, during and after.SEE ALL OUR SPECIALISTS
As a neurologist, I found the sleep and brain relationship to be fascinating. Sleep health is often overlooked in routine health exams, and it's only within the last two decades we have come to understand its importance, and the significant impact it can have on a person's overall well-being. I truly enjoy being a part of my patient's health care team. It's so rewarding to hear my patients say that better sleep 'changed their life.' My personal practice philosophy is focused on my patient and their care always comes first. The doctor, patient relationship is a two-way relationship, and as part of that I find truly listening to my patient is key in developing a diagnostic and treatment plan that will enable my patient to make informed decisions to improve their sleep and health – in order to better their days and nights.SEE ALL OUR SPECIALISTS
Being on the faculty of East Carolina University Brody School of Medicine has allowed me to maintain an active research agenda, and I'm particularly interested in cardiovascular comorbidities and the genetic role of Obstructive Sleep Apnea. I have been fortunate to be a part of and have published several high impact papers in peer reviewed scientific journals with regard to sleep, and it's been wonderful to be on the forefront of sleep research, as it's a relatively new specialized area of focus. I have the best of both worlds, as I greatly enjoy working with patients as well. My personal patient care philosophy is to treat every patient with the highest possible quality of care and to assist my patients in making informed health care decisions to improve their overall health and enhance their lives.SEE ALL OUR SPECIALISTS
With a background in neurology, I became interested in sleep medicine because of the curiously active brain during sleep and the dynamic processes that occur during this period. Not only are our brains going through impressive changes as we sleep, but nearly every other organ system can be affected as well. I take great pride in that I truly listen to my patient's account of their sleep issues and combine this with the best tools such as lab work and a sleep study to tailor an individual diagnostic and therapeutic approach that can truly work to improve someone's life. Sleep medicine is a team approach, and I enjoy working with my patients referring and/or other treating physicians to ensure optimal patient care. As I recently finished up my sleep fellowship and moved back to the DC metro area, I am excited to become an active part of the northern Virginia community, and deliver a high quality of care to my patients.SEE ALL OUR SPECIALISTS

DISTRICT LEAGUE: Spectrum crush Auto
6:00am Tuesday 11th December 2012 in Football
SPECTRUM thoroughly dismantled Auto Engine Tune with a 12-3 thrashing of their opponents in the Swindon & District Premier.
In control from the start, Spectrum went 3-0 up courtesy of a Murat Satici header, a Craig Kelly free kick and Andy Marriott.
Auto Tune pulled a goal back through Ben Keating but Hugo Teixeira scored twice within five minutes to make it 5-1 at half-time.
Spectrum ran riot after the break and Byron O'Regan grabbed four on his debut.
Marriott and Satici both got another goal each and Eddie Allsop netted a penalty, while Steve Winchcombe scored a late double for Auto.
Elsewhere in the division, Swiss Chalet Rangers blew a two-goal lead but recovered to defeat Lower Stratton 4-2.
Rangers seized the initiative early on courtesy of goals from Gareth Walton and Aaron Selby.
However, efforts from Jordan McLean and Michael Spring brought Stratton level at the break.
In the second period Rangers were in the ascendancy and re-took the lead on the hour when a good move was finished by Lewis Polden.
Within five minutes the lead was doubled when Sean Irwin sprung the offside trap and smashed home to make it 4-2, and that was how it stayed.
In Division One, Peter Cox put Larry's Plaice 1-0 up against Ferndale before Kray Dunn knocked in the equaliser.
After the break Cox and Steffan Holmes scored twice within five minutes, but Ferndale staged a fine recovery.
A deflected goal from player-manager Daniel Doole and an equaliser from Dwaine Dodson secured a share of the spoils A Darren Rudman goal within 30 seconds of kick-off gave Fox & Hounds the lead against Bassett Bulldogs.
Fox hit the woodwork several times and with 15 minutes to play Jason Hudson snatched a point for Bulldogs.
Sportz Central took a 1-0 lead against Chiseldon courtesy of Pete Ockwell and that advantage was doubled shortly into the second half by Alisto Pires.
However, in a stunning final half hour Daniel Vaughan and a Stuart Cody hat-trick secured a 4-2 win for Chiseldon.
Goals from Jordan Allen (2) and Chris Neate gave Ramsbury a 3-1 win over Swindon Spitfires.

For anyone trying to crack the 3h15 barrier anywhere in the world
Jools - I find I can usually get my legs going before my brain!Abbers - recovering ok?Moof - cracking session. Is Abo this weekend?PMJ - certainly not an ideal way of doing your LSR every week.Poacher - get well soon.GM - it's been a long, long wait, so I can't believe that race day is only 3 days away now. Final race pace session today d&d (see below), recovery run tomorrow and rest on Saturday, so hoping for a good night's sleep on Friday night for a change, because I'm going to be too excited to sleep much on Saturday!6 miles with 8 x 200m @ race pace which is around 50s per rep. Did 49, 47, 48, 48, 48, 47, 47, 48.
I'm another 310XT user who had to do a hard reset. This was when all runs got stored under 'yesterday' as the date and I could not download them. I've always had a lot of troubles synchng my Garmin too - persisance pays
Nice sessions Moof - I'm confident on your behalf that goal A or B happen. You've trained very well and seem to be quite fresh already.
Likewise Gul - you've prepared dilligently and are going well so I too expect you to be able to capitalise on all your excellent preparation come Sunday.
A strange thing happend yesterday - I went running. 10x1 minute run and 1 minute walk. I ran in the local park for a bit of extra cushioning. All was comfortable, my form was good and hopefully I could keep going without difficulty. Thanks for all the good wishes you have given me on that.
Moof and Gul - you've done all the hard work - now for the enjoyable bit. Be extra careful with steps, kerbs, etc, until you actually stand on that start line...
Bike It - Back running again - fantastic.
BikeIt: excellent news: you're back running! Hope the rehab continues to go well
Gul: nice final session.
Good final session Gul. Looking good for the weekend.
Unplanned 21 miler today. It wasn't pretty, infact it was a real slog. Ran it in my DS Trainers (first outing for them off the treadmill). I'm a bit unsure whether to try them in a marathon, or to stick with my normal cushions.
Looking good for Sunday, Gul (just checked back - I did Great East half mara on 13/5/1990) ! Don't get too comfy on that bench, Poacher . . . . .Bike-It - encouraging - make sure you stick to the plan . . . .
8.5 steady here this a.m.
Good sessions from Moof & Gul; showing good speed. Nothing silly now.
Excellent news from BI getting back to running.
"Unplanned 21 miler". An interesting concept AR!
Solid miles from Birch.
Recovering OK, thanks Gul. Legs were definitely worse for wear at the start of the week, but feeling more normal now. Have done a couple of slow 4 mile recoveries, going to get out for 6 or so at lunch, although nothing quicker than 8m/m.
Moof - Strategy sounds good, not too risky, hope all goes to plan for you!
Gul - Nice last session there, so your aim is sub 90 which is definitely achievable if your training is anything to go by. Will you factor in any time or will you try run an even pace?
Birch - Welcome back! I was still in school up to 1991! I cannot comprehend how you have run 54,000 miles? What age were you when you took up running and how many mara's have you completed?? Intrigued to know....
AR - Another LR done. What shoes do you normally wear for mara's? I ran in Saucony Ride 5 for my marathon last week and they were great. Light yet really well cushioned.
Birch.. great too see you back, sorry to hear you've been through the mill lately. I need some old codger support - the rest of the pipe & slippers brigade have disappeared from the threads I go on! Funnily enough one of the youngsters at my club was asking what happens when you become an older runner. My three main points were..
1: Speed goes to hell in a handbasket.2: Recovery from a race/hard session takes much longer than in younger days.3: You tend to talk about the times you used to run more than the times you currently run..
Anyway, keep up the good work & hope you win a few V60 prizes (I scraped a V55 1st in a recent half so life in the old dog yet!). I'm joining Jools at Frankfurt in a couple of weeks so I'll try to keep the flag flying for the old duffers.
Hi everyone. I haven't posted on the forum for months but have continued to lurk when I can. It's great to see the usual suspects training and racing well with a few new posters too. Hi Abbers!
Life has been hectic for me recently but I'm proud to announce that my wife gave birth to a beautiful baby daughter recently. I've already bought a running buggy and look forward to Parkrun racing with Babybark once she's old enough.
Despite being busy I've managed to keep training and racing hard. I've kept to a simple formula of racing a HM (8 since June) or running a 20+ miler every weekend for the last few months. I've also run one interval session mid week at 5k to 10k paces. The rest of the week I cram in as many miles as I can at an easy pace. I'm able to run to and from work every day so have been able to maintain high mileage.
I'm running the Dublin Marathon on 28th of October and just started tapering. Over the previous month I've run over 100 miles a week three times peaking last week with 107.5. My goal for Dublin is to run sub 2:54:45 and beat the first ever 26.2 mile marathon time set by Dorando Pietri in the 1908 Olympic s. Although, he was later disqualified for being assisted near the finish line. I'd love to know that if I'd been born 100 years earlier I could have won that race, been Olympic Champion and World record holder!
Anyway enough running talk, here's a pic of Babybark
GM, I have worn either Asics GT1170 or Kayanos to date in Half and Full marathons. I thought I was feeling more impact in my shins this morning. It could be because of less cushioning (certainly a lot less than the spongy Kayanos) , or possibly because I'm not designed to run at 4:30am
Good to hear from Badbark. Congratulation to you all. That is big mileage - good luck with Dublin
GM, you recovering well after Sunday's efforts?
Badbark, congratulations on Babybark! Impressive weekly miles at the best of times, but even more so with a little one to occupy your time. Is she your first? Sounds like you're due a storming run in Dublin.
AR - Big difference in shoe then. Who is designed to run at 4:30am? Gul maybe! Certainly not me!
Badbark - Good luck with Dublin, that's my home town and one day I will find myself legging it through the Phoenix park with thousands of runners like you are soon to be! Have you run it before?
Abbers - Howzit? I feel absolutely normal in the legs now thanks, middle toe nail on left foot is the only sore part, quite annoying really as I can feel it coming away but it's not quite gone!
Badbark - Abbers just reminded me to congratulate you on the birth of your daughter, she is a cutie!
Thanks, Wardi - I've kept an eye on your antics on the other thread, and you certainly seem to be in fine fettle at the moment - IIRC you had a dodgy time with injury layoff(s) a couple of years back? As I mentioned with Jools in mind the other day, I hope Frankfurt still has the red carpet and disco lights finish !! Gerard - I started running in 1986, so 54,000 isn't a lot per se (it averages around 37mpw). My first 25000 took 11 years, though and 2nd 25000 took 14 years. Completed 23 maras, with 2 DNF's & a DNS from 26 campaigns. Sunday's DNF was my 3rd, but didn't actually have a campaign preceding it !
Hell I feel old, I started running in 1982 or 1983 and did my first marathon in 1985. I certainly haven't got up to 54,000 yet.
PMJ, just checking you are ok - "1982 or 1983" is not the sort of stat that we have come to expect from you - I was expecting the time and date

ALCOA (WATE) - Why would someone viciously rape and stab an 80-year-old Alcoa woman in her home?
It's a question police have not been able to answer since Ermaline Croft was found murdered in her Garfield Street home in December 1990.
Croft was the mother of five children, active in her church and the community. She was a widow who had lived alone for the last few years of her life.
People in that quiet, suburban community called her "Granny" because she was a grandmother figure to everyone in the neighborhood.
No one expected to find her murdered in such a gruesome way.
"She was not your typical 80 year old, that's for sure. She drove. She was always helping someone, taking someone someplace, or doing something for them," says her neighbor, Anna Brewer.
It was Brewer who opened the door to the crime scene 20 years ago. Croft had not been heard from in a few days and her children called asking someone to check on her.
"I still always think about it. I always think about it," Brewer said.
"The crime scene photos are pretty horrific. It was a pretty gruesome type murder. She was stabbed repeatedly by several objects. They raped and sodomized her," says Detective Kris Sanders with the Alcoa Police Department.
Detective Sanders believes the crime was done by someone who hated her and clearly wanted to watch her suffer.
For example, one of several sharp objects used to attack Croft was a fork from her kitchen drawer.
"I would characterize it as a very intimate killing. It was someone who was familiar with her, who knew her. If it was a stranger killing, it would not have been so gruesome," Detective Sanders said.
No one who knew Croft has been the same since then. "Living so close, it's a constant reminder. I always think about it," Brewer said.
Investigators have taped interviews with dozens of friends and relatives, but they say those have gone nowhere.
"You still wonder, are they still around? Who are they? Where are they?" Brewer said.
Most of Croft's five children are alive and in their 70's now. For years, they did interviews hoping investigators would find their mother's killer. Now they say it's too emotionally difficult to revisit those details all these years later.
If you have information on the murder of Ermaline Croft, call the Alcoa Police Department at 865-380-4964.

"Lieberman Party" Hijackers Win HoJo Skirmish
by Melissa Bailey | January 19, 2007 8:48 AM | Permalink | Comments (3)
These men — a medical physicist and a political science prof — came head to head at a HoJo's over the future of U.S. Sen. Joseph Lieberman's fake political party. One left. The other recruited five more official "hijackers" to the anti-Joe cause.
The occasion was the second organizational meeting of the Connecticut for Lieberman Party, the vehicle created to propel Connecticut's junior senator to a general election win in 2006 after he lost the Democratic primary to anti-war challenger Ned Lamont. Lieberman created the "party" to have a line on the November ballot. Then he forgot about it.
John Orman (pictured at right), a political science professor at Fairfield University and a longtime outspoken Lieberman critic, contacted the Secretary of the State's office to legally join and then take over the abandoned party, which has a guaranteed ballot line in the next Senate election. Orman came to a Milford Howard Johnson hotel Thursday night with a tall agenda to make the party a soapbox for political theater and Lieberman criticism.
Number two on the agenda: A call for a "sore loser law," otherwise known as the "Lieberman Law," preventing Lieberman-style political party-hopping for losers of primaries.
Before Orman kicked off the meeting in the small conference room, Stuart Korchin walked in the door. Standing by the cookie table wearing a red rain jacket and a reappearing smirk, Korchin challenged the prof on his chairmanship and the direction in which he's taking the party.
"The purpose of your smart-alecky wrangling with the Secretary of the State" is not what the voters wanted when they elected Lieberman to a fourth term in November, charged Korchin.
"You don't amount to a hill of beans as far as Joe Lieberman is concerned," he said, calling the CFL party a joke.
Orman kept an affable, but serious, debating demeanor. "I think the people of Connecticut have been pushed to the side, don't you agree?" When 70 to 80 percent of Americans oppose a troop surge, and Lieberman supports it, the senator's not listening to voters, argued Orman.
"He's spoken open and often on the fact that he does what he thinks is the right thing," said Korchin. "I wish there were more politicians like him."
The two men — who both claim to be chairman of the CFL — are wrestling for control of Lieberman's party, which Lieberman has made clear he wanted no affiliation with after winning re-election. The senator retained a Democratic Party registration. He goes by the letter "I," for independent, not CFL, in the Senate.
Korchin, who's from Cheshire, seeks to keep the party open to further its original purpose: Reelect Lieberman.
Orman's vision? "An experiment in citizen activism and people-powered democracy."
Orman filed paperwork with the Secretary of the State documenting his first organizational meeting, in which he nominated, seconded, discussed, and elected himself chairman. The state has accepted the CFL rules he submitted.
Korchin claims he registered as a party member in August then nominated himself chair, but "the people of the Secretary of the State's Office were not aware of my registration. There was a glitch."
Korchin exited the HoJo after the face-off, declaring he would hold his own CFL meeting on Aug. 9 at his Cheshire home.
The Agenda
The conference seats filled with a mix of small-town Democratic Town Committee members, bloggers, vloggers, and Democrats disillusioned with Joe. Some came to hurl jokes and relish political theater. Others came with a petition, ready to orchestrate a Lieberman "accountability" campaign. CTBob, who appointed himself unofficial CFL media relations director, manned the video cam wearing a "Kiss" button.
Orman's one-man party having blossomed to six members, the voting got under way. First order of business: Elect a chair. Someone nominated Orman. "In the spirit of inclusion," said Orman, sweeping his arms wide open, he nominated his absent adversary, Korchin.
Orman won the tussle by a 5 to 1 vote. The vice-chair? Jonathan Kantrowitz, the guy whose truck haunted the senator's campaign this summer bearing the infamous Bush-Lieberman Kiss float. Kantrowitz ran for U.S. Congress twice in the Fourth District. Orman has run for Congress once; another time he battled Lieberman for the Democratic Party Senate bid before dropping out.
"He and I disagree on one thing," admitted Kantrowitz. "He's into the issues. I just think it's great political theater."
Voters approved a series of recommendations to their "glorious namesake" senator. Goals on the CFL agenda include asking Lieberman to:
"Stop misleading Connecticut voters by saying one month before the last election that no one wants to bring the troops home more than Joe Lieberman and then calling for a robust, substantial and sustained troop increase in Iraq."
"Stop blindly supporting Bush's Iraq war policy since over 75 percent of Connecticut citizens do not support those policies."
"Stop cavorting with FOX network conservatives to bash those opposed to the war in Iraq." The latter drew dissent: "I think it makes it clear where he stands — he should spend all his time cavorting with FOX," opined Kantrowitz.
"Call for a sore loser law in Connecticut named the 'Lieberman Law' to prohibit major party candidates from running in the election after they lose a party primary. Our party also favors moving up the deadline for petitioning candidates to one month before the primaries."
Two members of the Democratic Party State Central Committee leadership, fresh out of a monthly meeting Wednesday, reported the group had voted unanimously in favor of pressuring the state legislature to pass such a "sore loser law."
Kantrowitz (pictured) then read aloud some more proposals:
A pledge "to NOT support the candidates our party nominates," the way the Republican Party ditched Senate candidate Alan Schlesinger and some Democrats didn't support Lamont.
A pledge, "following the lead of our glorious namesake, to report ALL campaign expenditures as petty cash."
A pledge "to only support candidates who will promise, if they lose the primary, that they will form a new party named after themselves. We will support the candidate of that new party rather than the winner of our primary."
Orman, in a clear grasp at seriousness, rejected the laws without a vote. He ended on a less theatrical, more earnest note: "We're doing all this in good fun," but when The New York Times takes notice, there's a chance to push a platform. Orman said he could see the party running candidates against Democrats who had supported Lieberman over Lamont in November, to "hold them accountable."
The course forward remained uncharted: "Nobody has ever tried to take over a fake political party and use it to keep [a politician] accountable," said Orman. He expected to call another meeting in the next month or so.
"We may need to meet again:" With the State of the Union coming up on Tuesday, he noted, Lieberman "may be kissed again."

About 45 people demonstrated outside Lieberman's office yesterday (Thursday, Jan. 18) in Hartford. You can read about it here.

This link gets you to an MSNBC interview of Sen Lieberman by Imus. Notable low points include the Senator suggesting that he wouldn't send 15,000 more troops to Iraq, he would send 35,000!!!
As ridiculous as it sounds, he just might succeed...after all, he was successful at getting 1/3 of the Democrats in CT to stab their party in the back and NOT vote for their party's candidate.

How can anyone believe that Joe Lieberman is wrong about the Iraq war. He is a religious man, with the highest of morals and integrity. Iraq has always been an enemy of Israel, a true threat to their egsistance. Paul Wolfowitz, Douglas Feith, David Wurmser, Scooter Libby, Joe Lieberman and many other chosen people, are doing, and have done, Gods work here on earth. If they must lie about WMDs, so be it. If they have to connect Iraq with al-Qaida, let it be done. To be true or false with the goyim - what difference does it make! The goal – to make the American military take up arms aganist Israel's enemies. This is the zionist dream. And by their actions, and with the help of their media, they have suceeded in making Israel's enemies our own. Thousands if not millions of Americans will have to die, but to the Joe Lieberman's of the world, that's a risk they're willing to take.

English (Traduzir este texto em Português): charge it at the bowling section, and pull in. Bowl section is when it starts turning around the reef passage. The reef seemed to have a boomerang type shape with lefts going diagonally down the line and a very deceptive looking fast right/closeout around the corner. The inside waves which broke from about 3-4 ft, had a nice open section at the start with a good wall which got faster and rounder the further you went down the line, until it eventually closes out on shallow coral. The sets tended to break in a couple of spots. The usual ones would break just as the inside ones, but about 30-40 yards further out and a bit longer and faster. These tended to be best ones at about 5-7 ft. I saw a few bombs come through which were a couple of feet bigger and went longer, and unriden. Every now and again there would be a few rogue sets which would break wide and more parallel to the reef. These were fast, hollow and makeable but shorter (get out before the end). The sets seemed to come out of the deep and just appear on the edge of the shelf, which made it hard to stay in position for them. And there is no channel to paddle through once caught inside. I also surfed it in fun, small 2-3 ft offshore/cross-shore. A great wave whichever the size.
English (Traduzir este texto em Português): totally friendly if anybody is out, everybody is getting waves.
English (Traduzir este texto em Português): it is a total world class wave, every inch as good as cloudbreak. just not quite as long, but then there is no crowd.

Batiluva - For anyone planning on surfing Frigates or staying at Batiluva. Stayed here recently and must advise about a few things. First..Insane Wave!! Surfed all over the world and Frigates is no joke. Very Good. Food at Batiluva is super!! Accomidations are very simple. If you bring your girl she better be able to for a lack of better words rough it. Cold water showers,no AC etc. Sharon who runs the camp is cool but a bit crazy. If she wasnt blown out on Morphine and wouldnt yell at the Fijian employess things might be better. She has already been beaten up by them years ago. This place is cool but definately not run by surfers for surfers. For example, If you want to go check the surf in the morning and its not good yet, dont plan on another check in a few hours. She only lets the boat go to the spot once a day. This is lame. Any Surfer knows we like to surf all day. And not have to sit in a 12ft dingy all day just waiting for it turn on. Very frustraiting. Beware of your bill at the end. 175 per day!! A bit expensive especially if you are with your girlfriend or wife who doesnt surf. If she is basically sitting in a hammock throughtout the trip @175 per day this can blow. Should definately be a surfer and non surfer rate. 175 per day all inclusive? Nope! If you plan on having a beer at night prepare to pay. Not a cool suprise at the end of the trip. Bring a bottle of rum from the mainland? Yes but dont let sharon see or you will be charged. WTF?? Dont like to be a hater but this is a sight for surfers by surfers intended to share experiences for the best possible future trips. Right?
De Anonymous , 20-11-2009
- I just spent a week surfing Frigates and it was great, the waves were fun when small and sick when bigger. Stayed at Yanuca Island Resort for a reasonable price and it was only a 20 minute boat ride to the break.
De Eric , 02-05-2009
deals in these times? - Just planning to stop in fiji in mid september on the way from oz to cali. it looks like the best options for budget in terms of time in quality waves are Waidroka and Seashell, would anyone comment on the likelihood of getting a good deal in this harsh economic climate. It seems prudent to maybe split time beetween the two, surfing frigates from waidroka and wilkes and namatu? from seashell.

Breakfast In A Slow Cooker
Nice base, but as is a little bland. Add other seasonings or maybe use spicy sausage. Second time used extra spicy Mrs. Dash when cooking sausage and it helped that some. But next time will add more seasoning still. Also find that the milk should be halved. Tried it that way and it was much better. Doubles fine in bigger crockpot. 6-8 hours was fine, more might have been too much. — kathybat 11/28/2011

Man, I really liked this horse. I always had at least a small wager on him when catching his races. Was hoping he would be a turf/synthetic star for another season ... didn't know about the injury after his last race / retirement.
My horse racing news & watching has been non-existent for the past few weeks due to other priorities and commitments - not exactly the best strategy going into the BC - and I just saw this story on Dullahan.

Leominster Hum: People urged to come forward (From Ledbury Reporter)

Leominster Hum: People urged to come forward
4:33pm Tuesday 10th June 2014 in News
PEOPLE who are plagued by a nuisance noise known as the "Leominster hum" are being urged to come forward.
A number of residents in the town claim they have been been losing sleep due to a low frequency, humming noise for a number of years.
And although tests have been carried out previously, there has been no resolution to date. Now, campaigners are awaiting the results of more tests carried out by Herefordshire Council's environmental health team.
The results are expected to be presented in a report this month.
Town Councillor Peter Ellis wants to hear from anyone else who has been affected by the noise.
Email firstname.lastname@example.com or send a letter to Iain Plumtree, Leominster Town Clerk, at the Town Council Offices at 17 West Street-, Leominster, Herefordshire, HR6 8EP with information.

It is possible that those who report these hums may have a tinnitus problem of course and can't be ruled out. Some have linked them to other strange paranormal events even UFO's. I am not going that far but think that the end results of checks will be interesting but not necessarily conclusive.

A pedestrian was killed after being hit by a vehicle in Lebanon Thursday evening.
The crash was reported around 8 p.m. at 900 Carthage Highway near Sparta Pike.
Police say 59-year-old Cindy Ballington of Lebanon was hit by a vehicle and killed.
The driver of the vehicle has been identified by police as 33-year-old Pamela Delay of Lebanon.
Police say Delay was driving eastbound in a 2012 Dodge Journey when she hit what she thought was a mailbox. Delay allegedly continued to her home, which is down the road from the crash, and called to report it.
According to officers, they believe that Ballington walked out into the roadway and that Delay did not see her.
Officials say they do not expect charges to be filed at this time.

Think about the following two sentences:
Missouri is north of Arkansas.
Strawberry ice cream is the best flavor.
The first claim is a fact and is true independently of what
anyone thinks or feels.
The second claim is different; it is an opinion. Some people may like strawberry ice cream the best
while others may prefer chocolate.
To determine if information that you get from sources
such as a website,
a TV news program, or a book is a fact or an opinion you'll need to consider how well the claim is supported
by the evidence.

How is this route not on here yet? This is the classic "Let's go flail on an off width since we're in Yosemite" climb. There is literally no approach and it is super easy to TR. So if you want to try out a 5.10 ow in Yosemite, throw on a toprope and commence struggling. Most people I�ve talked to seem to think the bottom section is the crux but I don�t think it�s too bad if you have some basic leavitation technique. Transitioning into the squeeze up higher however, is a grunt any way I know to do it.
On the south side of the 140, a few miles west of the junction with the 120. Look for the old generator station.
Easy TR off of a couple bolts. Leading it would require a big bro or two as most of it is too big for cams.

Close your eyes and imagine a place where students leave laptop computers unattended in the library, don't lock their dorm rooms, and misplaced ID cards are returned before they are even discovered missing. Open your eyes-no, it's not Eden, just Grove City College. Of course, the college strongly suggests keeping valuables under key, but many students don't feel the need to watch their stuff very closely. Petty thefts have occurred on campus, but the fact remains that GCC is a safe place-day or night. In the women's residence halls, all doors except the lobbies are locked and alarmed at 9 p.m. After midnight (or 1 a.m. on the weekends), male student security guards secure the dorms and check student IDs in the women's residence halls. Some women are inconvenienced and frustrated by the double standard, but most feel more secure, and it is no surprise that sexual assault is a foreign concept at Grove City College.
GCC security guards maintain a visible presence on campus and are friendly. However, some students have registered complaints about slow responses to car troubles. Security services like dusk-to-dawn escorts and RAD courses ensure basic safety. The Zerbe Health Center offers a free health service through a local doctor. If a student urgently needs more than a friendly smile, homemade chicken soup, and cough drops, the best bet is to head over to the local hospital. In case of emergency, campus security willingly transports students to the emergency room at the local hospital.

AFC Bournemouth: Howe outlines reasons for duo's loan moves
1:36pm Monday 6th January 2014 in Sport By Neil Perrett
CHERRIES manager Eddie Howe has outlined his reasons for granting loan moves to defender Miles Addison and striker Matt Tubbs.
Addison has joined League One high-fliers Rotherham until the end of the season, while Tubbs has returned to former club Crawley, initially for a month but with a view to staying until May.
News that both deals were in the offing was revealed exclusively by the Daily Echo last week with the pair completing the paperwork on their respective temporary transfers earlier today.
Addison, who has been named on the bench a number of times this season, has not made an appearance for Cherries since lining up in a 2-2 draw at Bury 13 months ago.
Signed permanently by Paul Groves in July 2012 following a loan spell under Lee Bradbury, the 24-year-old's debut season at Dean Court was cut short by a persistent foot injury.
Addison, who is midway through a three-year deal having signed from Derby County, was replaced as captain by Tommy Elphick during last season's promotion campaign.
Tubbs was recalled early from a loan spell at Rotherham where he had netted just once in 21 appearances after joining the Millers at the start of the season.
The 29-year-old former Salisbury star was a big hit during his first stint at Crawley, his 40 goals helping them win promotion to the Football League in 2011.
Verwood-raised Tubbs joined Cherries two years ago for a then-club record fee of around £800,000 and featured mostly from the bench as Howe's men secured promotion to the Championship.
In an exclusive interview with the Daily Echo, Howe said: "Miles expressed a wish to play this season. At this stage of his career, and with the injuries he had prior to coming here and while he has been here, he didn't want to spend any more time on the fringes of the squad.
"When someone makes that request to you, it is only right that you listen. You do what is best for the club but you also have to think of the player and his future.
"He made the decision that when the window had reopened, we would look at his situation. He wants to play and has gone to a good club who are doing well. It is an opportunity for him to get regular football which I think is what he needs.
"Matt had a frustrating spell at Rotherham where he didn't get the football he had wanted. He wasn't a regular starter for us last season and had hoped to get regular football.
"Hopefully, he will get that during his time with Crawley, get back to scoring goals and get that buzz of scoring because he has scored wherever he has been in his career.
"I think it is a good move for him at a club where, previously, he did well. Hopefully, that will give him the impetus he needs to hit the ground running."

Why not just cancel contracts on these players who are not fit or come up to standard so we can create space in th3 squad and replace them?

Get a prolific goal scorer whether on loan or purchase our strikers are good but not quite good enough, we have had so much possession but can't do it in the final third, with someone like Kevin Davis we could have beaten Birmingham at home and Ipswich!! UTCIAD

A 10-month-old accidentally locked himself inside a hot car, and his mom says a 911 dispatcher didn't immediately send help.
Health and fitness apps designed to help with everything from diet and exercise to monitoring health conditions have been gaining popularity.
But, all of the information entered into those apps could be putting your personal privacy at risk..
Matt Demargel said that fitness apps helped him peddle away 30 pounds.
"The apps have been very critical in helping me achieve my goals," he said.
Demargel used apps to monitor his weight, bike routes, even what he ate.
What many people may not know is that apps that ask for personal information often share it with third parties which puts user privacy at risk.
"I've made a choice that being that this was going to help me from a health perspective, that I would take the privacy risk," Demargel said.
Officials said not everybody may be as comfortable with that concept as Demargel.
"I think that's troubling. In the health and fitness context where consumers are used to thinking about sharing their information in the traditional provider context. I think they might be surprised about the collection of information that's happening," Federal Commission spokesperson Cora Tung Han explained.
Information sharing is all about marketing.
"If you have high-blood pressure and you are telling the app, 'I have high blood pressure', you should expect you're going to get an advertisement for high blood pressure medicine," Application Developer's Alliance representative Jon Potter said.
The FTC has stepped in and wants app providers to let users know who is tracking them.
"We do look at whether or not apps are honoring what they say in their privacy policies and also whether or not they are living up to what they say to consumers in the app itself about what they're doing with their information," Tung Han said.
For personal protection the FTC suggests reading app privacy policies and only proving information that you are comfortable sharing.
