Raising money can be a bit challenging to accomplish. There are a lot of organizations like school clubs, church groups, charities, sororities and others which need a lot of money to keep going. Most of the time they need to go to their communities to ask for that money. Be it door to door or through the organization of special events. The hard part is figuring out how you are going to make that money in a reasonable, fun and successful manner. health and safety manager provides independent health and safety services to all sectors of business and industry.
Sale of flowers
Flowers such as tulips, daisies, lilacs and roses are quite cheap. You should buy a bunch of them and then sell them for about one dollar. If you buy a lot of flowers and then have people sell them, you are going to make a lot of profit. The best times of the year are valentines and mothers day.
Ugly tie contest
This is a fin event that people are going to like a lot. You can post funny signs on local businesses. The best places include city halls, libraries, churches, courthouses and schools too. Ask for a small registration fee, an amount between two and ten dollars. Ask that the contestant wear an ugly tie to the show. You can ask the local vendors to donate the prizes and money and then have fun voting on the ties.
Bake sale
These are traditional fundraisers as they work quite well. It is possible for people to bake pastries and treats all from scratch. Some options include cookies, donuts, bread, cupcakes and muffins. Find the right spot somewhere outside the library, school, church and grocery store to sell them.
Garage sale
Get all the people in the community to go through their attics and then donate their old but usable items to garage sale. Place an advertisement in the newspaper before the day of the event. Hold the sale in the building of the organization. If you do not have a building, you can hold the sale in the garage of a volunteer. This fundraiser is ideal since there are no overhead costs.
Have some volunteers take part in a marathon. The runners can choose to go from door to door and ask people to sponsor them by donating some money for every half mile they can run. Make sure you inform the sponsors where and when they are going to attend the event.

Would you believe that you can create a beautiful Christmas tree using a tomato cage?
Normally my tomato cages spend the winter behind the garden shed, but I started to think about how they have a Christmas tree shape when upside down.
So, I brought out some tomato cages, mini-white lights and a hair band…
The process was so simple. I took the hair band and wrapped it around the top of the tomato cage. Then all that was left to do was to wrap the lights around the cage. I started from the bottom and went up.
It took me less then 10 minutes to do my first one and the others went just as quickly.
Although the outside of our house is decorated for Christmas, I decided that I wanted to decorate my vegetable gardens.
I placed two of my tomato cage Christmas trees in my side vegetable garden. I could hardly wait for the sun to go down to see how they looked.
I must say, that I am thrilled with the results. I can see my 'festive' vegetable garden from my kitchen window.
I liked it so much, that I did the same for my other vegetable garden.
The thing that I love most about this project (besides being pretty) is that I was able to use regular old tomato cages to make them.
**You could also put them up on your empty plant containers for a dramatic look.
So, do any of you feel inspired to drag out your tomato cages from winter storage?

DNA sampling has helped solve many crimes, and now a new law in Iowa hopes to expand the testing to catch more criminals.
The new law would require people convicted of aggravated misdemeanors like vehicle burglary and credit card fraud to submit a DNA sample when they are arrested.
In the past, only felons and sex offenders were forced to submit a DNA sample.
Assistant Lee County Attorney Bruce McDonald says more DNA samples would give them better resources in solving crimes.
"A DNA profile is developed that can be compared to the database of known DNA samples that are on file and we have solved cases in the past two or three years with similar circumstances," said McDonald.
Some of the aggravated misdemeanors that are exempt from this new law include gaming and betting, hazardous waste offenses and certain traffic offenses.

Is Zaytuna College for Me?
Zaytuna College can only achieve its aspiration of becoming an elite college if it is able to attract excellent students. For us, an excellent student is not necessarily one who is merely among the "best and the brightest," although an excellent student is certainly one who has been generously blessed intellectually. However, intellect without character, a strong work ethic, an open mind, and a commitment to the betterment of humanity will do little to fulfill the purpose of Zaytuna College.
We wish to attract students who are not only blessed with these characteristics, but who also have a deep and abiding respect for the heritage of prophetic knowledge and wisdom, students who see in the past keys that unlock the door to a brighter future. It is our vision to wed students who meet this description with teachers of a similar character to create a vibrant educational institution where knowledge is placed in the service of tradition, and where learning is an ongoing, dynamic process that works for a healthy future for all who inhabit this planet.
Requirements for Admission back to top
Excellent students are an integral part of the mission of Zaytuna College. Besides the requirement of a high school diploma or equivalent, factors to be considered in evaluating applications for admission include GPA, SAT and/or ACT scores, course work, and extracurricular activities. We will examine their academic records, community service records, recommendations, as well as a personal statement indicating why they want to attend Zaytuna College. Applicants may also be invited for an interview with the Admissions Committee. We will consider each candidate individually and will make decisions based on a thorough evaluation of each application. Zaytuna strives to admit a diverse student body.
Zaytuna College does not discriminate on the basis of race, gender, or national and ethnic origin in the admission of applicants, the administration of its educational or other policies and its scholarship and tuition assistance programs, and any other Zaytuna-administered programs. Zaytuna admits students of any race, color, national, and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the College.
Note on the Arabic language prerequisite:
All students are required to take an Arabic proficiency test after admission. Students admitted to the undergraduate program who do not fulfill the Arabic prerequisite and/or fail the proficiency test must complete the equivalent of one year of college-level Arabic prior to enrolling in the fall. They may fulfill this requirement by attending the Zaytuna College Summer Arabic Intensive or a similar program elsewhere.
If students opt to attend Zaytuna's Summer Intensive in order to fulfill the Arabic prerequisite, they are required to pay summer tuition and fees as noted on the Arabic Intensive website but need not submit a separate application. Admitted students who have filed an application for financial assistance for the undergraduate program may be asked for further information if financial aid is required for the Summer Intensive. Note that students who have fulfilled the Arabic Langauage prerequisite are not expected to attend the Summer Arabic Intensive (SAI). They may do so if they desire, but they will not receive any special consideration.
Criteria for Admissions:
At Zaytuna College, we seek students who demonstrate the capacity and desire to grow in three core areas of their lives: in their intellect, their spirit, and their moral leadership. We want our students not only to excel in our challenging undergraduate program but also to contribute to and enhance our society after their graduation.
While demonstration of these traits is ultimately a qualitative exercise, fulfilled primarily through the student's Personal Statement, Essay, and Letters of Recommendation, we view the following criteria as comprising strong markers for each student's potential for success at Zaytuna. As such, each requirement listed in the table below must be fulfilled for consideration of admission into the Zaytuna College undergraduate program.

For us poor Jays fans, this was supposed to be the year that the Yankees players all aged and fell apart before our very eyes, and the Jays snuck up and contended for a possible wild card playoff spot . We knew Boston was going to be good, and optimistic Jays fans thought that Tampa Bay may have been weakened enough by the players they turned over between 2010 and 2011 that the Jays COULD contend. Alas, it was not to be...
Yes, some of you are snickering right now, but despite the ups and downs on this rollercoaster season for the Blue Jays, there are some trendlines that are extremely positive. It looks as though AA is going to be able to fine-tune the roster enough for the Jays to contend for the Wild Card in 2012.
Let's recap the bright spots that have answered some of AA's key concerns moving forward;
Colby Rasmus - AA wanted ,and now has, a talented CF'er. This move is good for both player and team, and hopefully Rasmus can produce like we know he can in 2012.
Jose Bautista - Proved 2010 was no fluke, and at the end of the day if he didn't hit another homerun all season I would still be happy with his production. Jays fans were hopefully optimistic heading into the season, and Jose has fully delivered in 2011. Keeping in mind he also played 3rd base for the Jays when called upon by management, he is worthy of the MVP this season in my view. Jose was what kept this team at or above .500 for most of the season and he should get proper credit. He also had several injuries so consider that when you compare his final 2011 tally to other players like Granderson and Gonzalez that he did it all in about 20 fewer games. That right there should win the Guy the MVP. Sigh...
Brett Lawrie - AA has found his 3rd baseman of the foreseeable future, it looks like. Lawrie's debut has been a dream situation for the player and team (and fans too.) We've all seen his production thus far and actions speak louder than words. If AA had called him up earlier he would be contending against Ivan Nova for Rookie of the Year right now.
Yunel Escobar: Has proven himself to his teammates and fans this season. He has played with hustle and heart the entire season. He has hot-dogged it a couple times and made some errors, but he has also made some incredibly graceful plays as well. His bat has returned to its 2008/2009 form and this bodes well for the Blue Jays moving forward, regardless of whether Escobar plays SS or 2b for the Blue Jays.
Ricky Romero: Proven he can handle the #1 role. Next season, he turns it up a notch to prove he is a legit Ace in MLB. I believe in him, he's a bulldog and guys like that will win lots of games in the Majors. It is going to be a treat to watch Romero over the next 3 or 4 years as he comes into his own...
Perez/Alvarez/Villanueva: Henderson Alvarez as a call-up has been nothing short of brilliant and appears to showcase a high ceiling. Luis Perez, since moving from the Pen to the Starting rotation, has shown himself to be a valuable asset. If he does't have a role in the rotation, he could become a very useful trade chip. Carlos Villanueva has gotten it done for the Jays in the Pen when needed, but he also showed very good promise when he joined the Rotation for the Jays when we had injuries and issues with our other starters. He rattled off several good, quality starts prior to injuring himself. Now back in the Pen, Villanueva is someone I wouldn't mind seeing back in 2012, considering his body of work this season.
Thames/Arencibia: Both rookies have shown good presence at the plate, barring minor issues with J.P. Arencibia who makes up for his issues with power and production - classic Slugging Catcher if you ask me... Eric Thames filled in when Travis Snider couldn't live up to whatever expectations Management had for him, and in my opinion has been a good player for the Jays this season who kind of goes along under the radar it seems. His glove sometimes leaves a little to be desired, however, and this is perhaps where in 2012 Snider can overtake Thames on the Depth Chart. This remains to be seen.
Of course, these are the bright spots. A few negative developments for the Blue Jays this season would include the following (extremely briefly):
Travis Snider - It would ould have been nice to see further development, but he was struggling at the time he was sent down. Big question mark moving forward for this team. I still completely expect him to have a great MLB career, for what its worth. He is very young still...
Cecil/Morrow - Brett Cecil posted 15 wins last season while Brandon Morrow was dominant in the second half of 2010, leading Jays fans to expect a lot from the #'s 2 and 3 pitchers for our rotation this season. Things have not went as planned, leaving the Jays rotation in flux looking forward.
Drabek - Not a lot to say on this. He is a young prospect and we all recall how Halladay had to straighten some things out at AAA for a bit. Hopefully Kyle Drabek can clear his mind this off-season and build off the positives he had in 2011 and have a really strong spring for the Blue Jays in 2012... You may even end up seeing him this September, although this is a question mark amonst fans right now. If he doesn't straighten things out, there are lots of pitchers in our farm system who are awaiting to surpass him on the Depth Chart, and that is just a matter of fact...
Lind - I'm staying positive on Adam Lind, but at this point Jays fans have started openly talking about him being used as a trade chip. This includes me, but only in my fantasy world where we can trade Lind + two other prospects for Joey Votto. Pipedream yes, but you can't blame me for day-dreaming about it.
With all of these things to consider, AA has been able to cross of several items from his "To-Do List". The Jays are test-driving Kelly Johnson for 2nd base next season and so far so good, while Escobar and Lawrie have solidified SS and 3rd for the Jays. Our outfield is 2/3 set with Bautista and Rasmus, the only question mark for 2012 being can Snider overtake Thames somehow on the chart to play in LF. Whoever loses out on that one is probably going to become a trade chip.
The Jays clearly need to address their pitching, including starting and the bull pen. Options for AA to consider include CJ Wilson, although Texas is going to make a very strong push for him. Also, we have had it confirmed by AA himself that the Jays are in on Yu Darvish. This is a costly option, but Darvish clearly has potential based on his domination of the US team at the 2008 World Series of Baseball. As for an even longer shot than signing Darvish, there are rumours that CC Sabbathia is going to opt out of his contract with the Yankees to demand millions of dollars more. This is a possibility, because why else would CC have put that stipulation in his contract if he didn't intend to flex his muscles after several very strong seasons with the Yankees. If this happens you can count on New York doing whatever it takes to appease Sabbathia in his contract quest. There are not many quality arms out there in Free Agency this season so hopefully the Pitchers in our farm system continue to blossom as they have thus far.
The bullpen is much more problematic and the Jays will likely look to free agency and internal roster moves to address several question marks. Pat Hentgen has a done a good job this season as bullpen coach, and in his fairness he hasn't had a lot to work with, as many of our good relievers were used as trade chips. This left many poor options, as recently seen with Brian Tallet going in for a save opp. this past week. The bullpen will be a continuing work in progess for AA, but I think this is par for the course for any MLB bull pen. AA knows what needs to be done, and will address it in the off-season.
The only other question now becomes if the Jays are going to make a move on any of the big name free agents this season. This includes Albert Pujols, Prince Fielder, and to a much lesser extent Jose Reyes, who I have pretty much discredited the Jays from having any interest in thanks to Escobar, Kelly Johnson and Adeiny Hechavarria.
AA could very well attempt to sign Pujols or Fielder, or he could go the trade route like Pat Gillick did with the famous Jays/Padres flip for Alomar and Carter.
Regardless of the potential for this coming season, comments AA has made indicate that this off-season he will be making much more targeted moves due to not having to deal with some of the big tasks he took on last off-season, like hiring a manager and coaching staff, signing Bautista and overhauling the bullpen, in addition to the Wells trade. AA's point was that he will be spending more time this off-season on direct moves that are going to influence the team in 2012. This is all very promising for Jays fans and it now looks like in 2012 the Jays are going to make their move. All in all it will make for a very exciting Off-Season...

As NBA teams are trying to fill out their rosters and complete blockbuster trades, the NBA has finally announced the salary cap for the upcoming 2012-13 season. The salary cap for the 2012-13 season has been set at $58.044 million for each team and the tax level has been set at $70.307 million.
Teams have been negotiating with free agents the over the past week, but can officially sign players on Wednesday, July 11, and now know how they can fit players in under the cap. The cap and the tax level are both exactly the same as they were for the 2011-12 season, which is what was expected.
Now that the levels are official and have been announced by the league, some teams who were wondering if they should use their amnesty clauses on players have a baseline for their salaries and can move forward.
For more on the 2012 NBA Season stay tuned to SB Nation's dedicated NBA hub.

THE sauciest show of summer is being staged at the Theatre Royal.
Neil Simon's Broadway smash hit Last of the Red Hot Lovers, featuring soap stars Debra Stephenson and Steven Pinder, is being staged there from June 11 - 14.
Regal Entertainments have added a unique twist to this irresistible romp. Celebrity impressionist, Coronation Street and Bad Girls favourite Debra Stephenson will star in this ambitious production in three roles, playing Elaine, Bobbi and Jeanette alongside Steven Pinder (of Brookside and Crossroads) who takes on the role of Barney Cashman.
Last of the Red Hot Lovers chronicles the misadventures of Barney Cashman who is in the throes of a mid-life crisis, and his sudden desire for passion and adventure has embarrassing, but hilarious consequences. When he makes the decision to join the sexual revolution, the married seafood restaurateur attempts to seduce Elaine, Bobbi and Jeannette - three very different but equally eccentric women - in the romantic setting of his mother's apartment.
Each attempt proves to be as funny, yet as sad as the last, but Barney's attempts to win over the women are sure to leave the audiences wanting more.
Chantelle Nolan, Theatre Manager said: "This is one of my favourite plays, absolutely hilarious. Steven is a superb actor and Debra is one of the most talented and versatile actresses around."
Debra Stephenson is perhaps best known as the psychotic Shell Dockley in the ITV's smash hit Bad Girls and enjoyed a two year stint as Frankie Baldwin in ITV's Coronation Street.
She has made a name as a singer and is also one of the UK's leading impressionists providing voices on Spitting Image and fronting The Impressions Show alongside Jon Culshaw.
Steven Pinder became a household name through his appearance in Crossroads and his long term stint in the television soap opera Brookside, where he played Max Farnham from 1990 to its conclusion in 2003. On stage Steven starred in the musical adaptation of the dance phenomenon Footloose recently made a special guest appearance in the BBC soap Doctors.
Director Sylvie Gatrill, herself an acclaimed actress, said: "This will be something special - the likes of which we've never done before at the Theatre Royal - I've not been this excited in a long time!"
It begins at 7.30pm on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, June 11-14 with an extra 2pm show on Saturday. Adult admission is £15, concessions available.
Book in person at the Theatre Royal Box Office Corporation Street, (Mon – Sat, 10am – 5pm) or call 01744 756 000 or log on to: www.sthelenstheatreroyal.com

The trial for the has now been set for Jan. 28, 2013, as the prosecutor in the case, Santa Clara County Deputy District Attorney David Boyd was in trial.
Channing Parker Verden is now being represented by who's asked Superior Court Judge Rise Jones Pichon for as much time possible to carefully review the case before beginning.
Verden's previous attorney, Michael Hingle, withdrew from the case in February due to what Boyd said was the defendant's inability to pay for counsel.
Verden has been charged with recklesly starting the inferno more than four years ago after it's alleged he left burning piles of debris at a home located at 31000 Summit Road owned by Los Gatos resident Andrew Napell.
Cal Fire has said the Summit fire burned 4,270 acres, began at 5:17 a.m., destroyed 35 residences, 64 outbuildings, caused 16 injuries and cost more than $16 million to fight.
A Google map on Cal Fire's website shows how the inferno engulfed many mountainous areas in Los Gatos and came dangerously close to Highway 17, 10 miles roughly from the center of town, according to Cal Fire spokesman Daniel Berlant.
If convicted, Verden could be sentenced to up to seven years in prison or receive probation or no jail time, Boyd said.
It's possible, however, that Verden could receive probation, Boyd said.

I always feel like Adam Baker never got, and still doesn't get the recognition in BMX that he is deserving of. He's got one of the deepest bags of tricks I've ever seen from a guy known primarily as a trails rider, can ride damn near anything, and has no issue with dropping the most clicked, stylish tables and following it up with amazing, opposite (and wrenched) 360 lookbacks. Baker hasn't slipped for a minute since his peak of popularity in BMX, and these days resides in Colorado, still riding and digging and killing it. Elliot Van Orman filmed a decent amount of footage with Adam during his trip to Colorado last fall, and the writing is on the wall–Baker is still an animal on the doubles.

Tift County -- A man with a knife held a woman hostage in her home overnight in Tift County after he cut another man's throat. Investigators are trying to sort out the details of what happened.
Thomas Boose was inside his home on Fletcher Drive in Tift County when his neighbor came to the door around 11 o'clock Monday night with knife wound to his neck.
"I was like 'man, what's really going on?' Because Art came over here and it really scared me, because he was beating on the door and his neck and stuff was bleeding. He just talking like 'give me some water,' and I was like 'oh no, oh no.'"
About that time, Tift County Sheriff Deputies responded to a 911 call of a robbery at a house. They say 47-year-old Dennis Lee Hooper, was holding a woman inside at knife point, and the standoff began.
"From that point we activated our special response team. They arrived on the scene and after approximately after two-and-a-half to three hours of intense negotiation was able to secure the hostage and take the perpetrator into custody without incident," said Major Jason Jones of the Tift County Sheriff's Office.
Hooper has been charged with two counts of aggravated assault, two counts of kidnapping, and one charge of sexual battery.
And while the situation left one man hospitalized, police are thankful the situation ended the way it did. "It's unfortunate we had to respond to the incident, but it was as peaceful of a resolution that could be expected. The hostage was relatively uninjured and the perpatrater was not injured at all," said Jones.
A tense standoff, a peaceful resolution.
Hooper remains in the Tift County jail, and it's unclear at this point what if any relation he had to the victims.

Product Details
Designed to fit inside most standard microwaves, Dr Brown's microwave steriliser can hold up to 4x 240ml baby bottles and all their components. A special fixture inside the steriliser holds everything in place for effective all-round sterilisation. By adding 180ml of water to the unit, the steam heat effectively kills all common household bacteria.
The steriliser comes with 2 of Dr Brown's Natural Flow baby bottles which feature a patented internal vent system that has been designed to create a 'vacuum-free' environment. This innovative internal vent system eliminates the vacuum and decreases air bubbles, thereby helping to reduce colic, burping and wind. The no-vacuum effect also prevents teat collapse and as the air is channelled to the top of the bottle, the breast milk or formula flows freely through the teat.
Dr Brown's microwave steriliser includes a microwave steriliser, pair of handling tongues, 2x 240ml/8oz Dr Brown's Natural Flow Baby Bottles, 2x level-one teats and a vent cleaning brush.

Tippecanoe County - A jackknifed semi trailer closed traffic for several hours on I-65 Tuesday morning.
Police say the UPS semi was headed northbound when it hit a construction sign and then a guardrail. Several boxes and packages spilled out from the truck. The driver from Illinois was not injured.The northbound lanes of I-65 were closed between SR 26 and SR 25 for several hours. They reopened at 10:30 am.
A wrecker cleaning up the mess created a hole in the interstate. INDOT patched the hole but may need to return later to fix the hole again.

CAMPBELL, Ohio - Campbell police and Mahoning county Children's Services are investigating a case of suspected child abuse.
Police were called to a home on Regent Street early Monday morning where a 17-year-old boy fell while exiting from a second floor window,trying to get water.
The boy, who weighs just 70 pounds, told authorities that he's regularly denied food and water.
According to investigators, the teen said that his bedroom door is locked and tied shut.
A neighbor who believes the boy is malnourished and dehydrated told police she observed the boy drinking from a garden hose and gave him bananas which he ate hastily.
Hospital nurses found marks on the boys back, some of which were ulcers caused by inactivity.
The boy claims his step-father kicked him in the back when he tried to smuggle some water. No one has been charged.
The boy is now in the custody of a relative.

Best Android feature
The one that turns my screen on to tell me my battery is low... and then keeps my screen on to ensure my phone dies extra quickly.
Thanks Android.
Update: Here's actually the best BEST feature:
When I get out of my car and the phone just starts playing whatever music or podcast I was listening to last; in my pocket. Has something to do with losing the bluetooth connection that it established when I first started the car, even though I wasn't using the phone to listen to anything for the whole ride.
Thanks little buddy!

Net profits of GlaxoSmithKline, the British drug maker hit by a bribery probe in China, jumped by a fifth last year as lower taxes offset flat sales.
Earnings after tax rallied 20.8 per cent to $8.846 billion in 2013, compared with the previous year, GSK said in an earnings statement.

Excluding China, emerging markets sales grew by five percent. US sales expanded by one percent, while Europe was flat.

7:12AM WSJ suggests AAPL iTunes service provides minute profits (AAPL) 23.06: The Wall Street Journal's "Heard on the Street" column suggests AAPL's iTunes music store is not necessarily a moneymaker. When the co originally introduced the store to the public, Apple's shares quickly skyrocketed from a 52-week low of around $13 to more than $20. The article suggests a repeat performance may be in the works as the co introduces the product to a wider audience next week. Currently, the service is available to just 3% of computer users with the co readying a version of the service for the 90%-plus who work in a Windows-based environment. However, the article suggests the co earns less than a dime on each song it sells from the store. Needham's analyst states, "the Music Store doesn't represent a major income opportunity for Apple". The co believes the service is a "trojan horse" to incite interest in the co's iPod music player.

Here's my story on the extremely interesting Annette Gordon-Reed, who won the National Book Award for nonfiction for The Hemingses of Monticello, which intricately traces the family tree of Sally Hemings, the enslaved woman who bore seven children for Thomas Jefferson.
Gordon-Reed is one of 20-odd authors appearing Saturday at Lit LIVE!, the Broward County Library Foundation event that features discussions, panels and book signings. Another notable author who will appear is suspense writer Laura Lippman, whose latest standalone novel Life Sentences once again deftly stretches the genre. Don't miss it (or Lippman, either, for that matter).

A Richfield man has been charged with raping a 10-year-old Burnsville girl.
Terrance Trevelle Hill, 27, is charged with two counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct, a felony with a maximum penalty of 30 years in prison and a $40,000 fine. Each charge carries a mandatory minimum penalty of 12 years in prison and a $12,000 fine.
The mother of the victim, now 12, came to the Burnsville police station on Dec. 15 and told officers that Hill had assaulted her daughter in 2010 at her home on Greenhaven Drive, according to the criminal complaint.
The mother said she had read the girl's diary, in which she wrote that she didn't want to be raped by Hill again. She asked her daughter about the entry, and her daughter said that while she and her mother were living in the same house with Hill in 2010, she had a nightmare one night and snuggled with Hill until she fell asleep.
The girl said she woke up to find Hill raping her. The girl told her mother that the experience was very painful and that it lasted five or 10 minutes; Hill told her the next morning not to tell anyone about it, she said.
Investigators spoke to the victim Dec. 31. The girl gave them the same account, saying she looked for her mother after the nightmare, but when she couldn't find her, she talked to Hill, who was sleeping on the couch.
Hill told her to snuggle up beside him, and she confirmed that she had awakened to find him having sex with her.
The girl said she didn't know what to do. She pretended to be asleep and tried to squeeze her legs together, she said, but Hill forced them apart.
She said she fell asleep afterward, and when she woke up again, Hill was asleep and her underwear was on the floor by the couch. She said she took her clothes and went upstairs, where she cried herself to sleep.
The next morning, Hill told her not to talk to anyone about the incident. She said she was afraid to tell her mother or anyone else.
Police found Hill at his Richfield apartment on Jan. 4 and arrested him on an unrelated warrant. After his arrest, he admitted that he had been staying with the victim and her mother, but said he didn't recall raping the girl and denied touching her inappropriately.
Hill remains in the Dakota County Jail on a $100,000 bond. An omnibus hearing in his case is scheduled Jan. 22 in Dakota County District Court in Hastings.

SAN DIEGO (CBS 8) - Rescuers pulled a 20-year-old woman from the wreckage of her vehicle after she slammed into a semi-truck overnight in Mira Mesa.
The driver, who was alone in the car, was traveling in the 9200 block of Activity Road near Black Mountain around 1:00 a.m. when she crashed into the parked big rig.
"She was injured. It does appear alcohol was a factor. They're working on estimating speed to see if that was a factor or not I don't know that and any rate she was transported to Scripps La Jolla and they're treating her there," said Lt. Paul Phillips with the San Diego Police Department.
The truck driver was asleep in the cab, but was awakened and called paramedics to the scene. He was not injured.
As of this report, there is no word on the woman's condition, but she is being investigated for a possible DUI.

Yuba County was one of the original counties of California, formed in 1850 at the time of statehood. Parts of the county's territory were given to Placer County in 1851, to Nevada County in 1851 and to Sierra County in 1852.
The county was named after the Yuba River by Captain John Sutter for the Native American village Yubu, Yupu or Juba near the confluence of the Yuba and Feather rivers. General Mariano Vallejo stated that the river was named Uba by an exploring expedition in 1824 because of the quantities of wild grapes (uvas silvestres in Spanish) which they found growing on its banks.

The Al Golden to Wisconsin speculation heated up over the past few days and clearly there was some level of interest and talks at some point, but I'm pretty sure this message from Sports Illustrated's Pete Thamel on his twitter account sums up where things stand.
Just got word that Al Golden is flattered by Alvarez's interest but staying at Miami.
— Pete Thamel(@SIPeteThamel) December 13, 2012
Golden was rumored to be mulling his decision and would have one by today, which we clearly have. If Golden isn't going to leave now it's unlikely he's leaving on his own anytime soon down in Coral Gables. He is 13-11 at the helm of the Hurricanes, who were bowl eligible this season, but aren't playing again in hopes of staving off a few of what's expected to be bad NCAA sanctions from it's investigation.
….. more after the jump….
Other coaching notes:
I've learned from sources around Ames that Paul Rhoads has had contact with Wisconsin, but the pull of family being close in Iowa may keep him from jumping to Madison. However, he is also one of the candidates that is on the short list from what we understand and both sides could be posturing a bit by putting info out to the public. For me, Rhoads checks off every box on the Alvarez check list he's stated publicly, but we shall see. The whole Dan McCarney connection is also hard to deny.
Some have thrown the name Jay Norvell out there as a potential candidate – are you kidding me? Look if Wisconsin is hiring a coordinator it's not going to be the guy who turned down Wisconsin just one year ago to be their offensive coordinator because the offensive philosophies weren't going to match.
Bowling Green head coach Dave Clawson is a name that emerged because of the fact that Alvarez was in Ohio earlier this week. I'm not sure why he'd be on the list as he's a whole 22-26 in his career at Bowling Green and while overall record isn't everything it's a bit troubling with all of the other talented coaches Wisconsin could be after from the MAC to begin with. This one has hopefully zero legs – talk about "not creating a buzz," right?
I'd continue on, but I think you get the point. Literally there are "journalists" and twitter people just throwing names like spaghetti against the wall and seeing if any of them stick. Unless there's actually some shred of evidence and not just baseless speculation we're not going to sit here and jump at every name thrown out there.
However, when credible information or names pop up make sure you're following us on Twitter @MTBadgers.

China Car Times previously reported that the Nissan Leaf will be produced in the city of Guangzhou as a Venucia model, although this is not unexpected news, it still makes us worried about the prospect of electric car market in China, which so far has been far behind the government's original plan.
In the automotive field, the Chinese government has paid great attention to two critical issues: One is the development of local brands and local R&D, it is a shame that the world's largest car market is dominated by Volkswagen, General Motors and other western brands, while Chinese local brands can only wallow in low-end market that joint ventures disdain. The other one is electric cars, because most officials and specialists believe the EV technology gap between China and western world is smaller than the gap of conventional gasoline powered cars.
Thus, it is understandable that government is encouraging joint ventures to unveil local brands and build electric models. The encouragement means if you do not do so, to building a new plant or merely expanding in China is almost an impossible mission, let alone to establish a new joint venture. Thanks to this policy, Shanghai-GM unveiled the Baojun brand , Shanghai-VW is expected to unveil Tantus, FAW-VW has the Kaili brand in the works, Dongfeng-Nissan has already unveiled Venucia, Dongfeng Honda are working on the Ciimo nameplate, Guangzhou-Honda has already revealed and launched their first Everus model. Although these brands are currently churning out older name plated cars from the original joint venture, the ultimate goal is to make them into electric brands for the Chinese market – and possibly elsewhere.
However, electric cars attached to a JVs' local brand may make the consumers more confused. Think about this: you have owned a Nissan Qashqai or Teana, and now you go to Nissan's dealership to trade another new car. Maybe the Nissan Leaf comes up on your radar because of its environmentally friendly powertrain, unique styling and intelligent instrument panel, despite of the higher price. But will you choose a tongue-twisting brand you have never heard, called Everus? Would you invest 300,000RMB in a car from a brand with an unknown history and future? It would be a hard sell in a wealthy country, let alone a developing country where such a sum of cash would undergo months of research before a decision is made. Not all of China's consumers are dropping mad money on top dollar brands, the 99% are looking for reliability, a future, and confidence.
The low-end product lineups of JVs' local brands will make things worse. Although government hopes JVs' local brands can develop new cars in China, rather than a direct introduction from overseas factories, most of their models are just revivals of old cars which had been out of production in China. For example, Venucia's D50 is a facelift of the old Nissan Tiida, while Everus S1 is barely a facelift of the old Honda Fit saloon. The expensive avant-garde electric cars are under the same roof with cheap old models – this should be the last thing a product planner wants to do.
Perhaps, attaching a local brand on the hood of an electric car is just to cater for government. The joint ventures do not expect to attract volumes consumers to buy electric cars, since the internal combustion engine is likely to be the main attraction for consumers over the next few years.
Electric cars are the peak of automotive industry. China should face the challenge head one, no matter how difficult it is, because no rival will help them sincerely.

The Deer Park Airport's $2.33 million "ramp rehabilitation" project received a new lease on life when the U.S. Senate on Friday approved legislation ending the two-week-old Federal Aviation Administration partial shutdown.
The ramp rehab project, which included new runway edge and beacon lighting and a new fuel disbursement system, was put on hold when the Senate refused to pass a House-approved bill before going on a month-long summer break.
The city had hired Kilgore Construction Co. in July with a 90-day window to complete the project.

Best of all, our all inclusive ranch rates give you the flexibility to personally sculpt your all inclusive vacation package. Do as little or as much as you want!
Just wanted to let you know what a great time we had at WTR. We are still going through withdrawal, missing our horses and all the wonderful people we met. There were so many things that we were impressed by: the beautiful location; the quality of your horses and what we learned about horseback riding; the great food and accommodations; the opportunity to meet other guests; and especially your staff, all so friendly and outgoing.
Ever since I was a little kid I've dreamed of being a cowboy and you guys made it possible. It's easy to see why everyone comes back year after year. Maybe one day I'll get one of those 10 year buckles, if not I'll have my ashes sent over and you can scatter them from Vista Grande!
Thank you for a wonderful week at WTR. We all had a ball! For the great riding, great all-day rides, gorgeous scenery, wonderful horses, wild tubing/wakeboarding, delicious food, delightful fellow guests, fun wranglers, great staff, invigorating yoga, relaxing fishing, comfortable cabins, great dance, adorable rodeo. We loved everything.
The extended Dunlap family have declared our week "the best vacation ever." Where else can 13 people of all ages do what they want in such a gorgeous setting?
I want to thank you deeply for setting up a wonderful week. The pace of each day, the options offered, the care with which you and your staff attend to even the smallest tasks, the flexibility, your unflappability, and your sincerity have combined to make Wilderness Trails Ranch a special place.
Our stay exceeded expectations. The kids were so polite, they outdid themselves. The cook—unbelievable! We can't wait to come back! Thanks Jan and Gene—you made us feel "at home."
This has been the best vacation ever! The staff does an excellent job! The meals, wranglers and overall experience was top notch! Thank you for everything!"
Thank you for your warm and genuine hospitality—from the comfortable accommodations and first class meals to fulfilling my dreams as a "City Slicker Cowboy." You have a terrific staff who are fun, professional, responsive, and attentive. You exceeded my expectations in every way.
I am quite sure there are many beautiful ranches in Colorado, but it would be difficult to find one with such a total package: Staff, food, horses, activities, and accommodations!
May 2009 - "This was the most enjoyable vacation I've ever had! The staff, accomodations, location and horses are top notch! Awesome adventure! Thank you for a wonderful week!"
We knew a good time was to be ours at WTR, but the final result was FAR beyond our expectations. You have set a very high standard for your staff and facilities. All 18 in our family came away with a renewed enthusiasm in our lives and an imprinting of an extremely fond memory.
"WTR is a gem! Outstanding in all areas! An exceptional experience in an exceptional place, led by exceptional people! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Something for everyone!
We were so impressed with your staff and how efficiently things were run. We said it ran like a "well-oiled machine," but that's not entirely true. A machine doesn't have heart and your staff had that in abundance.
Your staff is wonderful—polite, well-trained, efficient, and enjoyable to be around.
You have set the standard of excellence in how you want the ranch run; how you want your wranglers to handle the horses and to interact with the guests; how you want the children to be challenged; and how clean you keep the place from the cabins to the tack room to the property. I loved seeing the impact of WTR on newcomers and cherish my own moments. Until I drag my boots from the closet again to return to the ranch, I send you my best regards and thanks.
July 2009 - ""This has been a holiday of a lifetime and we have enjoyed every minute from the riding, the staff, the guest and the whole experience! The staff were great!!!"
Our children haven't stopped talking about their trip to the ranch and about "their horses." Phil says it was the best vacation he has ever had with the family and is ready to do it again next year! And that's saying a lot, considering he has bad allergies to just about anything with 4 legs, and I was the one who planned the vacation this year!
Saddle tramps children's program is excellent! My 7 year old is very happy and pleased!
I can honestly say your ranch is the best run, well organized and welcoming place I have ever been. In this day and time a place that is good, wholesome and supports family time is a rarity. I thank you all for the way the week at Wilderness Trails blessed our family.
My week at WTR was wonderful beyond my dreams!! Full of horses and great horsemanship, new friends, great food, spectacular scenery and most of all GREAT hospitality!! Thank you for sharing your world of horses and life in "God's Country."

This is a guest blog by Andy Sernovitz. Andy is the New York Times bestselling author of Word of Mouth Marketing: How Smart Companies Get People Talking and the fantastic blog "Damn, I Wish I'd Thought of That!" He runs WordofMouth.org, where marketers and entrepreneurs learn to be great at word of mouth marketing, and SocialMedia.org, the community for social media leaders at the world's greatest brands.
In word of mouth marketing, there are a few fundamental essentials that — if you get right — can start a whole bunch of conversations. Before you worry about the advanced techniques, the latest social network, or an expensive campaign, make sure you've perfected these four rules:
1. Be Interesting
Nobody talks about boring products, boring companies, or boring ads. You've got to make and do special things. We talk a lot about the corned beef sandwich at New York's Carnegie Deli. Now, that corned beef is really, really good — but that's not why so many people tell friends about it. They talk about it because it comes stacked 7-inches tall. It's huge and it's delicious. It's worth sharing, taking a picture of, and making a special trip to check out when you're in the city.
2. Make It Easy
Word of mouth is lazy. Without your help, even great topics won't make it very far. Your job: Make it incredibly easy to talk about you. Give them things to share when they leave your store. Supply them with brand gear to show off their love for you. Embed simple sharing buttons on your website. Write the email copy for them to forward. Aggressively look for things that slow down the sharing and make it easier.
3. Make People Happy
Happy customers are your greatest advertisers. Thrill them and they'll tell the world about you. Start with the basics: Treat people nicely, answer the phone, respond to questions, smile, don't be a jerk. Then, go deeper: Upgrade their shipping, throw in an unexpected freebie, surprise them with a discount, check in on them, and make them feel special. You'll be surprised at how far a little effort here will take you.
4. Earn Trust and Respect
People don't give referrals for companies they don't trust and respect. They're not going to put their name on the line for you if there's even a chance you'll let them down. So what do you do? You own up to your mistakes. You engage in conversations transparently. You tell them when you're not right for the job. You never cut corners. You never take the respect of your customers for granted. Being trustworthy is something that takes a long time to earn and is easily lost forever.
So what does your company do to be remarkable? Leave a comment and let us know.

|"Vulnerable children always have been the pain in my heart and I have been trying my best to help them, as millions of other people are doing."
Esta información está solamenete disponible en inglés.
Maria Guleghina, the world celebrated soprano, is also known for her support of charitable causes for children, frequently performing in fundraising events. On 12 February 2009, Ms. Guleghina was appointed a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador for children.
"To make a real difference to all children, we have to unite. I am thrilled to be working with UNICEF to help the children of the world who are impacted by poverty, hunger or caught in conflict – and whose voices must be heard," she said upon her appointment.
Throughout her career, the singer has been involved in children's causes, frequently giving charity concerts on their behalf. For example, she has raised funds for survivors of the earthquake in Armenia, the Chernobyl nuclear accident, the Beslan school terrorist attack and for street children in Moscow.
Ms. Guleghina is one of several participating artists for Music of Life Foundation, which offers opportunities to musically gifted children with disabilities and special needs. Children are fully integrated into performances, playing in the orchestra and singing with the professional choirs; the UNESCO World Children's Choir, for example, has performed with Ms. Guleghina. UNESCO is a strong supporter of the foundation.
Ms. Guleghina was engaged by UNICEF to perform, along with other artists, in a concert on Child Protection Day in June 2007 in Moscow. The singer became very involved in organizing the event and delivered a rousing performance.
Maria Guleghina was born in Odessa, Ukraine. She has appeared with the world's leading singers and conductors and performed in major opera houses including New York's Metropolitan Opera, Milan's La Scala, London's Royal Opera and the Paris Opera.
Among Ms. Guleghina's various musical prizes are the Giovanni Zanatello Prize for her debut at the Arena di Verona, the Maria Zamboni Gold Medal, the 1999 Gold Medal at the Osaka Festival, the 2001 Bellini Prize and the Arte e Operosita nel mondo prize from Milan.
Other honours are the Orden of Holy Olga, the Highest Orden of the Russian Orthodox Church by Patriarch Alexis of Russia. In 2006, she was appointed on the Honorary Board of the International Paralympics Committee.
Maria Guleghina lives in Luxembourg.

Deutsch: Bloomberg Rich But A 'Man of The People', Unlike Romney
Tough day at the office? In the market for some mood-brightening mirth? Try this for a guaranteed giggle: Donny Deutsch claims that unlike Mitt Romney, Mayor Michael Bloomberg, while also rich, is a "man of the people."
Let's leave aside Bloomberg's massive wealth and a lifestyle that includes multiple mansions around the world and a fleet of personal aircraft. What makes Nanny Mike perhaps the least "man of the people" you'd ever meet is his haughty, condescending view that he knows better than the mere masses what they should eat, drink and smoke, and is willing to use his power to enforce his preferences by government fiat. View the video after the jump.
Watch Deutsch supply an unintentional side-splitter.
DONNY DEUTSCH: Here's the bottom line: there are two kinds of rich guys. There's Mike Bloomberg, who's 20 times, 100 hundred times richer than Mitt Romney, but is a man of the people and then there's a rich guy who's a private equity guy, who won't show his tax returns --
MIKA BRZEZINSKI: Who has a car elevator.
DEUTSCH: Who has got a car elevator. Who is playing fudgy, fudgy ball as far as when he was and when he wasn't CEO and that's a rich guy who plays outside the lines that I can't trust. And that's not an electable figure.

All of his "people" are the glitzy, superficial and pseudointellectual New York, Hamptons and bicoastal dwellers from LA-LA Land who all suffer from the Pauline Kael syndrome.
To Donny, the "people" all have large NY penthouse apartments, fly in private jets and feel the need to tell the rest of us how to live to preserve their own lifestyles. Clue to Donny: remember what happened to the aristocracy in the French Revolution?

We are being invaded by a cancerous growth called Liberalism. It's being foisted upon us by the rich liberal democrats that own most of the broadcasting companies. The people that live on the coasts in California and New York. They are so sheltered from main street USA , and they only talk amongst themselves at their cocktail parties and red carpet premiers. It's like an echo chamber. They keep telling each other what they want to hear and begin to believe this as fact. Pathetically annoying to say the least.

Here's the bottom line:
Submitted by CobraMan on Fri, 07/13/2012 - 12:48pm.
Here's the bottom line: we know quite a bit about Romney and his wealth, thanks to the democrats, but we can't say the same about Bloomberg, one again, thanks to the democrats. Their "man of the people" isn't discussed as far as what he owns and how he acquired his wealth. True to their hypocritical nature, those questions are always reserved for their opponents and never themselves.
Take Mark Dayton, our illustrious Governor of the State of Minnesota, as a prime example. How many democrats have actually questioned this super-rich democrat about how many jobs the Dayton/Hudson corporation outsourced over the years? How many have questioned this super-rich democrat as to how many cars he owns, how many homes he owns, how much money he has tied up in dubious "investments?" The answer, of course, is none, for Dayton is also one of the democrat's "man of the people" and those questions are avoided at all costs. The Dayton/Hudson corporation, their family owned and operated corporation, isn't even mentioned. Nether is all the people who were laid off when that corporation decided to close the Dayton stores here in the State of Minnesota as not being profitable enough to suit their greedy, predatory, capitalistic nature, just as the democrats love to claim about Baine Capital.

Thats like saying Obamas not a Socialist! Would Romney try to ban Big Gulps? Bloomy first did it to the smokers, but we didnt complain, because we didnt smoke.
Then he did it to the fast food eaters, but we dont eat that, so we didnt complain,,etc
He'll keep on going after people who like certain things til he targets YOU, and then no one will complain, because there will be no one left!
And, BTW, I DO smoke, and what he started, and other cities AND countries have followed his Strong-armed tactics, is nothing short of REPRESSION!

The debate over a new smoking ban took all day in court Tuesday. Attorneys made arguments for and against the Nevada Clean Indoor Air Act. A ruling is expected when the judge resumes at 3 p.m. Wednesday.
You can watch live streaming video of the hearing on LasVegasNOW.com.
Legal heavyweights battled it out in front of the judge with the state's voter-passed smoking restrictions hanging in the balance.
The question District Court Judge Doug Herndon is trying to answer is whether the new smoking ban unfairly targets some businesses and violates their constitutional rights.
The decision will have a big impact on hundreds of establishments
The hearing began shortly after 9 a.m. Tuesday in front of District Court Judge Doug Herndon who will decide whether the smoking ban is constitutional. Currently, the ban is on hold due to a restraining order.
The deadline for all briefs and motions in this high-profile case was 12 p.m. Monday.
Nevada's Attorney General George Chanos turned in a 40-page document Monday refuting point-by-point claims submitted last week by attorneys for Clark County tavern and bars owners.
They are arguing they will suffer irreparable financial harm if the smoking ban goes into effect. But in its response, the Attorney General says all the potential harm is purely "speculative."
The A.G. Chanos also says that perfectly valid health and safety laws sometimes mean that owners of property may not get the maximum economic return.
Read the Attorney General's Response to the Question 5 Lawsuit.
Nevada voters approved Question 5 by a margin of 54-to-46 percent in November's election.
It calls for a smoking ban in all public places, except in gaming areas of major casinos and in bars that do not serve food.
Attorneys for bars and taverns claim the law violates both their "due process" and "equal protection" rights under the U.S. Constitution.
UNLV law professor Peter Bayer says an "equal protection" claim needs to be very specific. "The core of an equal protection claim has a strong similarity to due process. It asks fundamentally "has the government treated different groups fairly."
Bayer continued, "The challenger, the plaintiffs will say, I am being treated differently from other groups, which are similarly situated. That is there are no meaningful differences, and yet I have to do something that the other groups don't have to do or they get something that I don't."
The attorney general weighed to the fray with his 40-page brief. It says the culture of Nevada has changed and specifically contradicts the legal claims made by bars and taverns.
Attorney General George Chanos says:
Law Professor Peter Bayer added, "The courts grant the government extreme leeway. The presumption is that the legislation is lawful and the challenger has an extremely heavy burden to prove that it isn't."
Bayer said the judge may simply "clarify" the law, while careful not to actually rewrite it. "So I would be very hesitant to strike this will of the people as unconstitutional," he said.
The Nevada Resort Association has also weighed into this case. Big hotels and casinos are concerned that the lawsuit filed by the bars and taverns could actually extend the smoking ban to hotel and motel rooms.
All the biggest players and most influential law firms are now involved in the debate.
Judge Herndon's three most likely options:
This issue continues to generate a lot of interest. Catch up on what Nevadans are saying and then weigh in on your opinion.

Vogue Daily
Overheard: Carlos Miele's Summer Scarves
Guests were surprised (but delighted) to find a host of Brazilian models dancing on the rooftop of designer Carlos Miele's Meatpacking District house. The occasion? Revelers were celebrating Miele's new collection of limited-edition summer scarves, whose proceeds benefit Fashion Targets Breast Cancer, a charitable initiative started by Ralph Lauren and the CFDA. DJ Harley Viera-Newton stopped spinning for a minute to tell Vogue that she looked forward to wearing the sheer scarves in her hair and tied on her bag. "I just love the colors!" she said. Miele added, "The collection is perfect for relaxing like the Brazilians do," then paused to quickly deliver instructions to an employee in Portuguese. "When you're a designer, your mind is always busy," he laughed, "but I want the girl who wears this scarf to feel some of the fun of summer in Brazil." The scarves will be sold at Miele's New York store, at 408 West Fourteenth Street. A portion of the proceeds will go toward supporting breast cancer research, education, and patient care in the United States and Brazil.
