Dean's Garden Centre staff raise more than £19k for the Alzheimer's Society
8:35am Thursday 17th January 2013 in News By Press reporter
STAFF at Dean's Garden Centre have raised a "blooming" magnificent sum of £19,787 for the Alzheimer's Society.
Every year, staff at the garden centre nominate a charity of the year and in 2012 it was the Alzheimer's Society.
Customers and staff helped to raise the money, which included a £3,000 donation from the partners of the business.
The money was raised through various events, including a jubilee party, a charity bike night, a walking treasure hunt and a brass band concert.
Bethan Wood, of the Alzheimer's Soceity, said: "We are delighted with the amount that Dean's Garden Centre has raised for the charity.
"One in three people over 65 will develop dementia, so the condition will touch most of our lives at some point and this money will make a real difference to people living with dementia and their carers. We are hugely grateful for all of the hard work and support that Dean's Garden Centre have given us over the past year."
The partners at Dean's said: "We would like to thank our customers and suppliers for their continued support throughout the year and also thanks to all the staff at Dean's Garden Centre, York & Scarborough, who helped to raise this magnificent amount."
The garden centre has chosen York Against Cancer and Yorkshire Cancer Research to support in 2013.

SPOKANE, Wash. - Senior Forward Austin Friedly is not only playing in hopes of a State Championship, he is also making a lasting impression on lives abroad.
For the past two years, Austin has spent part of his summers on a mission trip in Nicaragua, a country with one of the highest poverty rates in Central America.
He worked inside an orphanage in the town of Jinotega, working with kids that have had anything but a good life.
Friedly only worked there a few weeks, but built up quite the relationship with a couple of the young girls, likely acting as the only mentor and positive influence in their lives.
Austin is back home now, trying to complete a goal that has meant so much to him in life. It's no longer life's biggest priority though, ministering to these girls has now made him want to just be a better man overall.

This history of LaSalle and Owners
Rose-Aimée and Clark Butler have lived in the house that is the LaSalle Bed & Breakfast Inn since 1990. They originally purchased it for use as a dance studio in the years before Rose-Aimée became Youth Director of the Fort Wayne Ballet. They opened the LaSalle Inn in early 2003 as a way to share the history of the home as well as pay for some of its restoration.
Rose-Aimée is a native of Lille, France, and spent much of her youth in West Africa as the daughter of a French government administrator. When decideding on the name of the business, it was very clear to connect back to the French history of present day Fort Wayne, back when it was named Fort Miami. This dates back when Robert de La Salle built the second Fort Miami which is now Fort Wayne in 1680's. To learn more about French explorer Robert de LaSalle, you can visit these articles.

Fort Wayne First French Explorer
Learn more about our LaSalle branding...
René-Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle, or Robert de La Salle (November 21, 1643 – March 19, 1687) was a French explorer. He explored the Great Lakes region of the United States and Canada, the Mississippi River, and the Gulf of Mexico. La Salle claimed the entire Mississippi River basin for France.
René-Robert Cavelier was born on November 21, 1643, in Rouen, France.[1] When Cavelier was younger he enjoyed science and nature. As a man, he studied with the Jesuit religious order and became a member after taking initial vows in 1660.[2] At his request on March 27, 1667, after he was in Canada, he was released from the Society of Jesus after citing "moral weaknesses."[3] Although he left the order, never took final vows in it, and later became hostile to it, historians sometimes described him incorrectly as a priest or a cleric.
La Salle never married.[4] He had an older brother named Jean who was a Sulpician priest.
Required to reject his father's legacy when he joined the Jesuits, La Salle was nearly destitute when he traveled as a prospective colonist to North America. He sailed for New France in the spring of 1666.[5] His brother Jean, a Sulpician priest, had moved there the year before. La Salle was granted a seigneurie on land at the western end of the Island of Montreal, which became known as Lachine.[6] (This was apparently from the French la Chine, meaning China. Some sources say the name referred to La Salle's desire to find a route to China, though the evidence for this claim is unclear and has been disputed).
La Salle immediately began to issue land grants, set up a village and learn the languages of the native peoples, mostly Mohawk in this area. The Mohawk told him of a great river, called the Ohio, which flowed into the Mississippi River. Thinking the river flowed into the Gulf of Mexico, La Salle began to plan for expeditions to find a western passage to China. He sought and received permission from Governor Daniel Courcelle and Intendant Jean Talon to embark on the enterprise. He sold his interests in Lachine to finance the venture.[7]
READ THE REST HERE: René-Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle: From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Few men achieve the critical eminence that has shaped the course of history or that will shape the future. Robert LaSalle is one of those men.
Born in Rouen, France on November 21,1643, LaSalle was 17 when he became a member of the Jesuits(a strict Roman Catholic religious order) but was removed after only 7 years because of moral decrepitude. By this time, LaSalle was 23 and broke. That's when he decided to leave France in hopes of becoming a colonist in the North American territory. LaSalle set sail for Canada ( at that time called "New France").
LaSalle's brother Jean, who was a priest in the territory helped LaSalle gain a fief (land held in exchange for service during the middle ages) at the Island of Montreal later known as LaChine( "China") due to LaSalle's desire to find a western water route to China.
LaSalle governed this territory. He issued land grants, set up villages, and learned the customs and languages of the Indians. These Indians told LaSalle about great rivers and passages that flowed into the Gulf of Mexico.
LaSalle began dreaming of expeditions that would establish a western passageway to China. He asked for and received permission to pursue this venture. Soon, he sold everything he owned and set off on his journey into the unknown.

As some of you know Demarcus Cousins of the Sacramento Kings has stated that if he doesn't get a max contract extension that he will demand a trade to a team that will. The 22 year old Kentucky alumni has had many problems with his attitude such as getting in verbal fights with coaches and getting a little physical (in a bad way) on the basketball court.
In this fanpost I am going to give my reasons why I think it would be foolish for the Suns not to have interest in the 22 year old center.
The reasons why I think that Demarcus Cousins should be on the Suns radar is that he is only 22! Coming out of Kentucky he was drafted 5th in the 2010 Nba draft. He has been a fantastic player during his 3 year Nba tenure. Over the 3 years he has had an average of 17 and 10 which is very good for a 22 year old. Talent isnt a question when it comes to Cousins and I expect him to become and Nba all-star by next season and be a top 5 center in the near future. Trading for Cousins would give Phoenix a "corner stone" to build around with dragic.
One major down-side to trading for Cousins would be the value. In my opinion the Kings would want very high value at first. I would glady give up the #5 pick in the 2013 nba draft for Cousins. He has way more potential than any player in this weak 2013 draft class. As long as we dont give up Dragic anyone on the Suns roster should be up in the air for the trade for Cousins. If the Kings will accept the offer of Gortat and #5 for Cousins and the kings 36th pick, I would be thrilled.
Then I would package the 36th and 30th pick to the Hawks for the 17th or 18th and select Jamal Franklin. A line-up of Dragic, Franklin, Dudley, Morris or Scola, and Cousins would be a very solid lineup to build around.
I think that coach Hornacek and the Locker room veterans that Cousins lacked in Sacramento would help his attitude problems. In conclusion, Suns NEED Demarcus Cousins. Tell me what you think in the comments! :)

The Moving Finger Writes
The book takes its name from verse 51 of
Edward FitzGerald's translation of the
Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám:
"The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ,
Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit
Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line,
Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it."
These poems are all about the joy, agony
and satisfaction that comes from writing.
I have chosen to illustrate the book mainly with
photos of graffiti. Graffiti is an artform like
poetry, insofar as it is both admired by many
and reviled by others, all over the world.

- Meanings and history of the name Michal: | Edit
"Michal" was one of the Biblical names embraced by Zionism, very rarely found in pre-Zionist communities. It is a very common female first name in contemporary Israel. Michal is not a form of Michael, but possibly means "brook," or "stream." - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michal
According to Louis Ginzberg (Talmudist and leading figure in the Conservative Movement of Judaism of the twentieth century), the Rabbinic tradition is that she (Michal) was of "entrancing beauty."
Michal (Hebrew: מיכל) was a daughter of Saul, king of Israel, who loved and became the wife of David, (1 Samuel 18:20-27) who later became king of Judah, and later still of the united Kingdom of Israel. Their story is recorded in the Book of Samuel. It is recorded that she chose the welfare of David over the wishes of her father. When Saul's messengers were searching for David in order to kill him, Michal secretly sent him away while pretending he was ill and laid up in bed. She let David down through a window and hid teraphim in his bed as a ruse. (1 Samuel 19:11-17)

DeLand Police detectives are searching for a gunman responsible for shooting a couple of people at a house party early Sunday morning.
Police said the gunfire erupted at 3:30 a.m. Sunday at a home at 403 South Clara Avenue. Apparently, the house served as an "after-party" location from a local community fish-fry that took place earlier in the day.
Da'Shayla Woods attended the party and describes the moments when a barrage of bullets started flying."It was very chaotic. You can imagine having a gun and bullets don't have a name on it," she said.Detectives and crime scene investigators spent the overnight and the later part of Sunday searching and collecting evidence from the home. They also interviewed several people who were at the party. Witnesses told FOX 35's Ray Raimundi a fight started inside the home and spilled onto the street. Those who attended the party are angry the celebration ended in bloodshed."It's people like you all, and you all know who I am talking about, that messes it up for everybody in DeLand. And you all put DeLand on the map in the wrong way," Woods said.The homeowner was on scene but refused to talk on camera about the incident. DeLand Police have not given information on the identities of those who were shot, hurt or killed. Authorities want anyone with information on the whereabouts of the shooter to call the Crimeline (800) 423-TIPS or the DeLand Police Department.

My father in law said that the NBA has more players with a criminal record than any other sport. Is this true? I looked every where and I couldnt find an answer to this. His favorite sport is the NFL and it seems to me like the NFL would have more felons than the NBA. In the last few years there have been a couple NFL murderers like Rae Carruth comes to mind. Even Ray Lewis was involved in some kinda homicide if I remember correctly. I remember a NJ Nets guy shot someone on accident with a shotgun a few years ago, but It seems to me the NFL would have more criminals, just based on the fact that there are way more players, personell and coaches in football than in bball. There is alot of pot smoking in the NBA and alot of steroids in baseball. There certainly are alot of thugs in the NFL. What about hockey? Anyways, let me know what you find. Any links would be helpful.
So which pro sport has the most felons or players with a criminal record? NBA, NFL, MLB, NHL?

Fatal Crash on Old Burkesville Road in Clinton County, KY
Date of News Release: 01/08/2006
(Columbia, KY) - A Clinton County resident was killed during a Police Pursuit on Old Burkesville Road. Trooper Jeremy Johnson observed a vehicle traveling east on KY Highway 1590 at a high rate of speed. Before Trooper Johnson was able to catch up to the vehicle, the driver turned onto a side road and continued speeding and driving recklessly. After turning west onto Old Burkesville Road, Trooper Johnson lost sight of the vehicle. Approximately one-half mile further down the road, Trooper Johnson discovered the vehicle had left the roadway, struck an earth embankment, and overturned. A passenger, thirty-seven-year-old, Patsy L Phillips of Albany was ejected from the vehicle. Another passenger, nineteen-year-old, Johnathan Earl Wray of Albany attempted to flee the scene, and was caught after a short foot pursuit. The driver of the vehicle, thirty-year-old David Lynn Wray of Byrdstown TN, was transported from the scene by Clinton County EMS along with the other occupants of the vehicle.
Patsy L. Phillips was pronounced dead at the Clinton County Hospital by Clinton County Coroner, Steve Talbott.
Johnathan Earl Wray was charged with Alcohol Intoxication and Fleeing/Evading Police 2nd Degree by Trooper Clint Walker. He was later admitted to the Clinton County Hospital.

More charges will be filed as the investigation progresses by Accident Reconstructionist, Trooper Dewayne Holder.

Google has cycled through a number of attempts to make search results more relevant when you are signed in with a Google account. They tried stars similar to the ones used to designate an email message as important in Gmail. Eliminating a specific result from the results you see on the page was another path to personalizing results. They even tried a search wiki concept where you could add notes about a specific result. While I tested all of these features, none of them really made sense. I don't know about your search habits, but when I go to Google to search for something, my goal is to find what I'm looking for and get the heck out of there.
Search behavior like mine doesn't lend itself to spending lots of time annotating search results. My gesture of interest in an article typically extends no further than the fact I actually clicked on the result. When Google first announced their new Google +1 effort, I was equally dubious, because it encouraged clicking a button (like the one pictured below) in order to vote for the quality of a particular result.
In concept this is great, but you can't reallly know an article is worthwhile until you've read it. So here again, Google is trying to get you to interact with a page on Google.com you'd rather leave to arrive at your final destination. Fortunately, Google wised up and made +1 something you can easily use.

Perfect Light – In Camera!
There's good reason Seim's EXposed won the coveted HOT ONE award from Professional Photographers of America. – It's changing how people see and use light. This 4 hour workshop series studies light at it's fundamental level. Portraits – Landscape – Digital – Film! It doesn't matter – EXposed is not about the latest fads. It's about what really counts, Light! – That's the best investment you can make in your photography.

Other stuff you'll LOVE – PHOTOGRAHICS Miniseries | Power Workflow 4
Picture Taker or Master Photographer?
Light! – Understanding the nuances of light and having the ability to use it to produce stunning images is the the key difference between boring snapshots and high quality images that bring to life every detail – EXposed is the first film that looks at every aspect of how we manipulate light in photography from exposure foundation to digital Zones.
The Journey To Mastering It: International award winning photographer Gavin Seim has been studying what makes light shine since age twelve. More than fifteen years later, he's more passionate than ever. Inspired by the masters, EXposed is no fictional tale. It's a documentary of light as Gavin travels around the USA with the Super Camper and a sack of gear, hunting light and sharing what makes it tick. We've compiled a decade and a half of learning into the most breathtaking study of light to available today. A workshop that entertains and educates. That explores not only at how to photograph light, but how to truly see it.
How EXposed Was Made: EXposed is produced on location as Seim travels around the United States. Often filmed solo, captured live with wireless microphones in the places he was photographing. Sometimes with a team of two, as Nathan operates cameras. Every stitch of was recorded by our small team. No stock footage, no crews, no sets. It's a labor of love, a study of light like no other in existence that will change how you see.
A Peek at What We'll Learn…
- WAY Beyond AUTO -
Many workshops focus on rudimentary understanding on your camera and it's settings. Gavin teaches you the elegant foundations of light and how they all work together so you ALWAYS know what's happening with every setting. Getting out of Auto is easy. But truly understanding light puts you in another class.
- Demystifying Exposure -
Gavin takes on light like no series has dared to do – You'll move beyond buttons and dials and truly understand how light functions, as Gavin takes you into every dark corner of lights and illuminates it in terms any skill level can relate to.
- ZONES for DIGITAL -
You're about to take control of your exposure in a way that 99% of photographers have not even touched. It's not new, it's just been neglected. Gavin makes make Zones simple and focused on how we can use them in the digital world. It's going to change everything about your exposures.
- Burning, Dodging and Tone -
Not so much has changed from the darkroom days and the classic techniques are some of the most overlooked. You'll learn to master tone and combine that with advanced burning, dodging and control to take advantage of the light.
- LONG Exposures -
Gavin is acclaimed for his long exposures and in EXposed he shares his secrets, going beyond the simple concept of exposing long and reaching into powerful techniques for doing exposures that are minutes or hours and still retaining quality.
- Visualizing Better -
Ansel Adams taught us how important it is to visualize, to see in the minds eye before we make the image. Gavin returns to this seldom mastered technique as we discover a secret to Raising the Bar on your work, making less frames and getting better results.
- Metering, Strobes, Reflectors & More -
This is not a quick video with a model and a few lights. EXposed is about giving you total mastery over light and we look at each aspect that makes it happen. The principles we study go right down to strobes, reflectors and even using natural elements and natural lighting tools. We study metering, tools and techniques for controlling light,.
- Simplifying Ratios & Dynamic Range -
Exposed takes one thing after another that people call complex and makes it simple. We take on ratios as the simple, powerful tool they are. They help you better understand your light and you'll understand them in no time. We look ate the reality of dynamic range and take all the guesswork our of whether you have the shot or not.
- Skills Few Photographers Know -
EXposed has done what no other workshop has – It's takes a journey that addresses nearly every aspect of the perfect exposure. It makes it simple, but not patronizing. If you think you understand exposure, you don't know the half of it. We quickly get past the basics and build a foundation of using techniques that many photographers never fully master – Until now.
- More Than a Workshop -
EXposed is a 4 hour series will teach you to understand how light works – It's for image makers of any genre and any skill level. It's years of study packed into a few stunning hours where you can learn and review on your schedule. EXposed is like nothing else. Gavin has a passion for light and helping others understand it and he's always eager to help because we're all still learning. If you have a question just email, firstname.lastname@example.com

Seim on EXposed.
"I love traveling America and looking for it's most breathtaking views. Making new images, writing about new discoveries. It's an adventure like no other. For months I get to be with my family, exploring and studying light with virtually no limits on time or destination.
EXposed is what started it all. We were on the road for a three month tour that turned into four. I realized the opportunity to make the series I had been dreaming of. One that would be easy to digest where we could study the amazing but simple things that are rarely taught about light and photography.
Months later the result was EXposed. It came out better than we ever imagined, not only in the beauty of the places discovered, but in the way it conveyed exactly what we wanted. Not simply how to make images. But how light works. How we can see and use it to make images like never before.
With all the fads in photography today, it's surprising how little we talk about the art and science of light. Making a great photograph is more than just clicking, buying new software, or pushing buttons. It's something more. It's light and shadow, exposure and tonal control. It doesn't matter if you're using the latest digital gadgets or film.
Truly understanding light at every stage is where it counts. Not rules, so much as how to see and expose light. That's what we do in EXposed. Whether you're a new photographer or a veteran professional. EXposed is a challenging and entertaining look at how to make the light truly sing." – Gavin Seim

Jason E, Eldridge Studios
"Finally!!! Someone gets down to the true nuts and bolts of photography!!!!!! It's not about just aiming your camera at something it's about LIGHT!!!" Mark W
Exposed is both entertaining and educational. It is very much a conversational exposé that takes you through all aspects of working a photograph to capture exactly what see in the field. – Michael Testi, Blogcritics
"This series is worth every penny and then some"
"Best $$$ I spent on an instructional series hands down this year!" – Susan Rose Photography
"It's the best workshop I've ever downloaded!" – Shane O'Regan

text: (PRBuzz.com) January 31, 2013 -- ResearchMoz.us include new market research report"Styrene Butadiene Rubber (SBR) Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth And Forecast, 2012 - 2018 " to its huge collection of research reports. Styrene butadiene rubber is the most commonly used synthetic rubber and accounts for over 45% of the global consumption. Tire manufacturing is the single largest application segment for SBR and consumes over 75% of the SBR produced globally. The growth in the SBR market is primarily driven by the increasing demand from the tire manufacturing industry, which is the largest consumer of SBR. However, the volatility in the raw material prices, especially butadiene prices, has been a major inhibitor for the market.

Bautista Canyon — which leads from Valle Vista, east of Hemet, up through rugged hills to Anza — was surprisingly busy when I pedaled from the citrus groves into the hills on a Sunday mountain bike ride.
Trucks, Jeeps and SUVs cruised by with drivers and passengers peering up the steep slopes. Vehicles were parked here and there. A road-bike rider descending on the paved lower half of the canyon offered a clue.
"There is a lot of shooting," he said.
I rounded a bend and saw a couple of hunters clambering into a rugged, brush-choked canyon with high-powered rifles. Up the road, two more in camouflage were scanning the brush with a spotting a scope.
I was pedaled right into opening weekend of deer-hunting season.
I stopped to chat with the hunters. They had seen eight deer in two days of hunting in the San Jacinto Mountains. .A member of their group shot one.
I continued on until I met friends who had ridden down the backside of Thomas Mountain, above Garner Valley, into the cayon.
I felt foolish. It certainly was imprudent to bound through the canyon on the mountain bike on the weekend lots of hunters were waiting for a bounding deer.

Any drummers out there?
Black metal band Nattsvargr is looking for a drummer . We play solid black metal in the old style, influences include Bathory, Mutiilation, etc. We're located in Upstate NY, but if you can record at home then location is not a huge factor - our primary focus is creation and recording.
Surely there's someone out there, we've been having to use a drum computer and frankly, it sucks balls.
:idea: We can promise dibs on the hot black metal chicks that shall surely flock to us! :p
I would love to do it, I can only record with one mic though. (thats probably a good thing though :p )

G-Force's big bang theory put to the test
10:00pm Tuesday 17th July 2012 in Business By Mike Pryce
WORCESTERSHIRE firework company G-Force Fireworks will be going for more glory when it takes on two other companies in the British Firework Series Challenge in Cheshire.
The Evesham-based firm will be putting on a firework spectacular at Capesthorne Hall, near Macclesfield, on Saturday, August 11, in the hope of winning the votes of the audience, and returning home with the title.
The event is the second leg of the annual GB Firework Championship Series, organised by Daventry-based MLE Pyrotechnics.
G-Force Fireworks is competing against Flashpoint Fireworks, of Guildford, and Komodo Firewords, of Market Harborough in Leicestershire.
All will put on a 10-minute top-class firework display, choreographed to music, with the audience then texting their votes to the organisers to decide the eventual winners.
"It's a spectacular night, and if you are thrilled by top- class firework displays, then this is the place for you," said organiser Mat Lawrence, of MLE.
"G-Force are one of the UK's best companies, and we're delighted they're involved in this competition yet again."

Efficient Estimation and Identification of Simultaneous Equation Models with Covariance Restrictions
AbstractThe authors consider estimation of simultaneous equations models with covariance restrictions. They consider FIML estimation and extend J. A. Hausman's instrumental variables interpretation of the FIML estim ator to the covariance restrictions case. A slight variation on the i nstrumental variables theme yields a simple, efficient alternative to FIML. The authors augment the original equation system by equations implied by the covariance restrictions, linearized around an initial consistent estimator, and perform three-stage least squares to obtain an asymptotically efficient estimator. They also present a simple me thod of obtaining an initial consistent estimator when the covariance restrictions are needed for identification. Finally, they consider i dentification from the standpoint of the moment restrictions implied by instrument-residual orthogonality and covariance restrictions.

The Vernon Club
1575 Story Ave.
$10, 7 p.m. (doors)
This may be blasphemous to some, but the title of "best rap group from Kentucky" no longer seems to belong to the boys from Bowling Green. No disrespect to the brothers Nappy, but CunninLynguists — note for note, album for album — may have just chin-checked your crew via their latest offering, Oneirology. Producer Kno is a beast behind the boards. Nationally known for his Black Album mash-up, his sample-heavy production marries strong melodies with ridiculous drums. Deacon and Natti are no slouches, with their perfect balance of subject matter and delivery. Comparisons to Dungeon Family figures like Goodie Mob and Outkast are easy to draw, and not lazy, though they're certainly tired of hearing them, as the aboveground masses have still not caught on like their Atlanta counterparts. The group plays their first Louisville show in what feels like forever at the Vernon with some of Louisville's lesser-known hip-hop acts and tour opener Homeboy Sandman. —Damien McPherson

Reviews of Sunrise at North Hills
Average Rating: based on 2 Reviews
I visited this facility
We really liked everything about Sunrise at North Hill: the different rooms that were available, the different types of setups, and the activities that they had. It was a much larger community than what we were looking for. The staff was great. We liked the dining room, but didn't try the food. It was very secure.
I visited this facility
This facility is great! I visit it regularly. They offer exceptional dining for the residents as well as having actual chefs that prepare the meals. Upon arriving there, I am greeted by a staff member with a bright smile and hardy "Good Morning." The facility is neat and clean through out and attention is given to maintaining a clean and neat facility. The halls are filled with the sights and sounds of happy residents and joyful staff. I once saw on my visit here a staff member walk up to a resident who was visibly upset. The staff member hugged him and consoled him on what ever was bothering him. One major plus that seems to add to the joy the residents seem to always have is that they allow the residents to have pets! When a resident is a little under the weather, I have seen staff go beyond the scope of their employment and care for the residents pet. It is a joy to see so many happy residents.

Last week, we aired my mom's story about her battle with breast cancer. If you missed it, you can view it from the home page of our web site, www.ktvn.com
Because of this story, every hospital in our area, plus Reno Diagnostic Center, donated free mammograms or something else to help other women beat breast cancer. This week, we are highlighting Saint Mary's.
They wanted to introduce Laurie Schirling. She's the breast nurse navigator. She's the one phone call people should make once a lump is found. She guides patients through the biopsy, the treatment options and finally creates a care plan for after treatment. She also provides information on alternative treatments like acupuncture, support groups and helping the entire family deal with the diagnosis. And it's all for free. "Breast cancer is very confusing Basque there are so many different types of breast cancer. It's not all one disease so there are different treatment options, depending on where the tumor is and what type of disease they have. I hope them through looking through the options. Some people get chemotherapy, some people get radiation, some get surgery. It just depends on the situation."
Because of my mom's story, Saint Mary's is offering 75 dollar mammograms until January 31st. They are also offering two 6 month cancer rehab/medical exercise memberships at their gym. To enter the drawing, stop by their fitness center located at 645 North Arlington Avenue or email amanda at email@example.com Submissions must be sent by December 31st and the two winners will be contacted that same week.

And we were so, so close to having the full starting line-up. Alfie, Spezza and Michalek all blew past Kessel to take the 3 forward positions. Karlsson took the overall top position with just under 940,000 votes.
The only one left out was Gonchar - who ended up just over 11,000 behind Dion Phaneuf for the 2nd defense position.
Tim Thomas took the goalie spot.

News: LeBron James & Carmelo Anthony Laced Nas W/ Gold Medal Tix, "He Didn't Want To Miss History"
Tuesday, Aug 14, 2012 2:43PM
Rap veteran Nas reportedly has friends in high places as new reports claim NBA stars LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony hooked him up with tickets to watch their gold medal-winning Olympics game against Spain last Sunday.
According to reports, Nasty Nas just happened to be in London during the Summer Olympics.
Nas wasn't planning on being in the stands when Team USA played for the gold medal in basketball ... he wasn't planning on partying with the guys after the game either ... until Carmelo Anthony and LeBron James talked him into it ... and gave him free courtside tickets. It's good to have rich friends. Here's the story -- Nas had been in London to headline a concert and was 6 hours from getting on his return flight back to the States ... when he got a call from his pal Carmelo Anthony. (TMZ)
A rep for "God's Son" also revealed James and Anthony both wanted Nas in attendance.
Nas' rep told us ... the rapper has been friends with 'Melo and 'Bron for a while, and the two made it clear they REALLY wanted Nas to attend the game ... and offered to get him some pretty sick seats if he was down to change his flight. Nas' rep tells us ... the rapper didn't have to think twice before taking the guys up on their offer ... changing his ticket immediately and extending his hotel room stay because "He didn't want to miss history." Of course, Team USA CRUSHED Spain in the finals ... and the rapper joined the champions in the gold medal after-party. Nas' rep tells us, "He's very thankful that Carmelo and LeBron looked out for him ... It was a moment that he will always remember." (TMZ)
On Sunday, Team USA defeated Spain to win the men's basketball gold medal.
Great for most of the Olympics, just good enough for gold. The U.S. men's basketball team fought off another huge challenge from Spain, pulling away in the final minutes Sunday for a 107-100 win and its second straight Olympic championship. And just like 2008, the star-studded Americans had to work for this one. LeBron James capped one of basketball's most brilliant individual years with a monster dunk and a huge three-pointer in the final 2:50. That wrapped up a close, back-and-forth game that few would have seen coming after the Americans had been so dominant for so long in London. (Newsday)
Last month, the rap star performed at ESPN's annual ESPY Awards ceremony.
"Amazing night and honor to be in the building with all those men and women," said Nas in an exclusive statement sent to XXL. "They have always supported me and last night was about me supporting them." In front of sports superstars such as the Eli Manning and Justin Tuck of the Super Bowl champion New York Giants to the NBA's Steve Nash and NFL's Tim Tebow, Nas ripped into performances of "Nasty," "The Don" and "Summer On Smash." (XXL Mag)
Check out a recent Nas interview below:

The lunch went well. We focused on how she was feeling after all of this and how to deal with those feelings. We talked about being reactive and ways to give ourselves a little breathing room in order to rationally assess situations before taking action.
We talked about the differences between looking out for oneself and being selfish. We talked very little about other people involved and kept the focus on her. It was good.

Man sentenced to one year in jail for burglarizing La Jolla home
By Kelly Wheeler
City News Service
One of two men accused of breaking into a La Jolla home in which a 22-year-old woman they'd met earlier was fondled as she slept was sentenced Friday to a year in jail.
Xavzier Pernell Paschal, 21, pleaded guilty last month to first-degree burglary of an occupied home and receiving stolen property.
The woman testified that she and four friends went to Windansea Beach Aug. 10, where she met Paschal and Brian Patrick Silva, also 21.
She said they saw the men when they returned to a house on Westbourne Street, but did not invite them in, and that she was "mildly intoxicated" from drinking beer when she fell asleep on a living room couch between 2 a.m. and 3 a.m.
She said she awoke around 4 a.m. to find a young man in a hooded jacket fondling her.
Paschal — who was never implicated in the fondling — was seen running through the house and dropping a computer and an iPod in an alley as residents chased him, according to court testimony.
San Diego police said they found stolen property in the defendants' car when it was stopped several blocks away, and Paschal admitted drinking and taking items that didn't belong to him.
A detective testified that Silva claimed he was told by Paschal that they had permission to be in the house, and that he did not sexually assault the woman on the couch — though he did admit to rubbing her buttocks.
Silva is charged with burglary, receiving stolen property, rape by a foreign object on an unconscious person and misdemeanor sexual battery.
Paschal's attorney, Dan Tandon, said his client's crime was more "opportunistic" than anything else.
The attorney said Paschal and Silva were drinking with the victims earlier in the evening.
"This stupid opportunity came to (Paschal)," Tandon said.
Tandon was unable to convince Judge Charles Gill to impose less than 365 days in jail so Paschal could get back in school immediately.
"He was not involved in the sexual assault," Tandon said. "He's got a lot of things going for him. He regretted everything that happened that day."
Deputy District Attorney Robert Stein said the defendants should have known there were people in the home sleeping.
"It was a hot prowl," Stein told the judge. "It was a planned hot prowl."
Gill said he was troubled by the facts of the case and didn't doubt that Paschal would regret the decision to go into the house for the rest of his life.
Silva, who is out of custody, faces trial on Feb. 10. He faces nine years, four months in prison if convicted, Stein said.

King digital & Zynga join forces to survive!! Long ZNGA
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Your the mindless vegetable for not being able to answer my logical question !!!
Sentiment: Hold
This company has been in business for 30 years & their stock is a measly dollar, it seems they have great products but apparently no one is buying them! Stoxline has a SB rating btw so maybe good reason ? No position
With Alibaba IPO happening soon this is a no brainer & with the added buyout speculation ,this makes for a strong $5.00 upside. I think Marissa would be very happy to get out from under the pressure of trying to save YHOO!! long YHOO @ 21.60 & buying more today after open
"Therefore, we think a fair takeout price would be much higher than the $60 RAI is rumored to be offering. Bottom line—we reiterate our Outperform rating on LO ($51.10) and $56-58 valuation range and believe there are many reasons to own LO—a potential deal would just be icing on the cake," Wells Fargo added. The company later increased its estimate, noting it believes RAI could pay up to $80 a share for LO. I'm long LO
This company has the Verichip technology that has been & could one day be implanted into all humans otherwise known as The Mark of the Beast!!!! Any Christian should not own this stock!!
Sentiment: Sell

Calif GOP gubernatorial hopefuls hold first debate
COSTA MESA, Calif. (AP) - The two Republicans who want to replace Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger will face off in their first debate Monday, giving them a chance to connect with voters who know little about them.
With the June 8 primary election three months away, those most likely to want a glimpse of Meg Whitman or state Insurance Commissioner Steve Poizner will be conservatives who tend to dominate GOP primaries.
The candidates remain largely unknown to many Californians.
Whitman, the billionaire former chief executive of eBay, has a lead in early polling after spending millions of dollars on advertising. Poizner, a Silicon Valley multimillionaire, has criticized her for running a tightly choreographed campaign and, until recently, keeping her distance from reporters.
The two appeared separately last weekend at the state Republican Party convention in Santa Clara, where they echoed familiar conservative themes.
Poizner told delegates he would cut off state-funded services to illegal immigrants and called the border with Mexico a national security threat. Whitman wants to slash the state payroll to help manage California's budget crisis.
Attorney General Jerry Brown, a former two-term governor, does not face a serious challenge in the Democratic primary.
Whichever Republican emerges to run against Brown in the general election faces an immediate challenge. Republicans represent less than a third of registered voters statewide, meaning Whitman or Poizner will have to take more centrist views if they hope to appeal to the 20 percent of California voters who are registered as independents.
Both GOP rivals have focused their campaigns on taming the state's annual budget deficits and creating private-sector jobs. They're counting on those themes resonating with voters angry over lost jobs and a persistent national recession.
Schwarzenegger, a Republican, is in the last year of his second and final term.
Monday's debate was organized by New Majority California, a conservative group based in Orange County.

Getting to ET During Rush
The best way to get to our house is to meet one of us at the Chapel turnaround across the street from Maseeh and McCormick next to the Tech Shuttle stop to catch our Great White Van (we'll be holding yellow signs). Make sure to check the detailed schedule for the van time, but here is an overview of when we generally have van runs during rush:
|IAP Weekdays
9:55am, 5:20pm
|Spring Weekdays
8:55am, 9:55am, 5:15pm, 7:00pm
12:15pm, 1:30pm, 3:30pm, 5:15pm, 7:00pm, 9:00pm
You can also get to our house on the Boston West Saferide. You'll recognize us by the yellow house located right across the street from a park about 15 minutes into the route. Saferide runs from 6:00pm to 2:00am on Sunday through Wednesday, and from 6:00pm to 3:00am on Thursday through Saturday. On campus, you can catch Saferide at the turnaround behind the student center.
You can also call us to get a ride over. Call the house at (617) 734-9211 or dial 3-8888 from any campus phone. We will be happy to come get you no matter where you may be! (Unless you happen to be in Kansas or Neverland or something.)
We extend invitations, known as "bids," to join Epsilon Theta throughout the rush period. When you accept a bid, you make a commitment to join our community. If our way of life appeals to you, come spend time with our members, ask lots of questions, and get a good feel for how our house works.
Our semester-long Pledge Program serves as a lively introduction to ET and MIT, and involves everything from a puzzle-solving adventure through the city of Boston to organizing our annual Halloween Party. Pledges have full house privileges and can hold elected positions at ET. It's probably obvious, but we don't haze either.

A Westland woman wakes up to find a man standing over her bed
WESTLAND, Mich ( wxyz) - A Westland woman says she woke up in the early morning hours of October 26 to find a man standing over her, he put his hands over her mouth and told her to be quiet.
She started screaming and kicking and he ran and jumped off the second floor balcony--the same way he got into her place.
The 34-year-old woman says she ran in the hallway of her apartment building yelling for help and banging on the walls, her neighbor ran out to help her and then called 911.
Police are investigating and since it happened the woman says she has put a lock on her bedroom door, a golf club by her bedside and she is carrying mace where ever she goes.
"I was terrified," says the woman who we are not identifying. She had $300 on the table outside her bedroom and the man never touched it, so she says she believes she knows what he came for.
She had a small cut on her face where he put his hands. He also left prints on the wall. Police are looking at all of the evidence. They are also in search of a white pick-up truck that neighbors say the suspect was driving. Police are hoping someone knows who this might be and will notify them.
In the meantime, they are urging women and everyone to keep lights on and doors locked and some sort of stick or bolt on door walls.

Blake Farenthold on Technology
Proponent's Argument for voting Yes:
Opponent's Argument for voting No:
[Rep. Waxman, D-CA]: This bill will cripple National Public Radio, public radio stations, and programming that is vital to over 27 million Americans. We are now voting to deny the public access to one of our Nation's most credible sources of news coverage. This bill does not save a penny. This legislation does not serve any fiscal purpose, but it does serve an ugly ideological one. This legislation is not about reforming NPR. It is about punishing NPR. It is vindictive, it is mean-spirited, it is going to hit the smallest stations in rural areas particularly hard. Public radio is indispensable for access to news that's hard to get, especially where broadband service is limited.
The House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure has jurisdiction over all modes of transportation: aviation, maritime and waterborne transportation, roads, bridges, mass transit, and railroads. But the Committee has jurisdiction over other aspects of our national infrastructure, such as clean water and waste management, the transport of resources by pipeline, flood damage reduction, the economic development of depressed rural and urban areas, disaster preparedness and response, activities of the Army Corps of Engineers and the various missions of the Coast Guard.
When combined, these areas of jurisdiction provide a comprehensive view of how communities across the United States are connected to one another, how infrastructure affects the growth and flow of commerce at home and abroad, and how an effective government can improve the lives of its citizens.

OnTheIssues Notes:This bill is intended as a replacement for SOPA and PIPA, the two bills which sparked an Internet protest in January 2012 and a shutdown of Wikipedia.com and google.com. Google and Facebook prefer the OPEN Act; the music and movie industries prefer SOPA and PIPA. Independent content creators, which include OnTheIssues.org and the Copyright Alliance, oppose all three bills on free speech grounds, and because large corporate website have resources to fight legal battles while small independent websites do not.

"Pro-choice" activists are hell-bent on making sure that unborn babies don't have a voice. To that end, they've spent the past several days flooding the Texas Capitol with chanting, calls to arms, and oh-so-classy pro-abortion paraphernalia:

Shira, we should note, doesn't view the pro-abortion movement as a War on Babies, because "all [babies] do is sleep and shit." The competition for Mother of the Year sure is stiff in pro-choice circles.

Mayor condemns mosque arson attack
The Mayor of North East Lincolnshire Peggy Elliott has condemned an alleged arson at a mosque in Grimsby.
"I can't believe people in the community would do such a thing but they are in the minority."
Councillor Peggy Elliott.
Police came across the fire at the Islamic Cutural Centre on Weelsby Road around 10pm last night. The fire was put out and no one was injured. Police say it is too early to speculate on the cause of the blaze. Two people have been arrested in connection with the incident.
