Yuma, Arizona February 2, 2012 - "As far as the AEA Trial goes, it's the sensational story in Yuma, that's for sure."
Yuma Real Estate Broker Todd Burch has been in the news lately.
"I was the buyer's agent as a Realtor for [Frank] Ruiz on the purchase of the Kress, on the purchase of the 50 acres near the Tuscan Ranch project," says Burch. "I was working on and also on the house that was bought down in Vista del Valle."
He's also being called to testify in the AEA Fraud Trial.
"I've been called by the prosecution, I've been called by Rhonda Liddle's attorney and also by Bill Liddle's attorney."
Burch had been interviewed by the FBI And was told he wasn't a target in their investigation.
"I think people think there's guilty by association, but what you'll find is with most of the businesses around AEA, we were business owners that were seeking money and seeking funding from AEA," says Burch. "We weren't being approached with 'Hey, do you want to do this deal, do you want to do that deal?'"
Last September, Burch filed a $34 million-dollar lawsuit against AEA.
"I spent the late morning going to the County Courthouse to see my properties go to auction, based on the fact that AEA couldn't run a credit union."
Burch believes AEA's poor management and direction by the top brass hurt many honest local businesses who dealt with the credit union.
"What we find, as business owners, we don't know the regulations that hold them to the fires, as far as what they have to report to the Feds," says Burch. "And if they go beyond that, you know, the Feds have no choice but to shut them down on their loans, which then results in lines of credit for these businesses getting revoked, you know. And then AEA, rather than working with people, just went out and started suing for what was on their lines of credit."
When asked if he believes he'll collect anything from his lawsuit against AEA, Burch, who's worked as a Realtor for nine years, is hopeful.
"There maybe a chance something is left. That's my hope," says Burch. "You work that many years and spend that much time and effort and money on something, you know, you're hoping it works."

A Fort Payne man was charged with seriously abusing a toddler.
Police said at this point they can release very few details because it's still under investigation.
Luis Humberto Corona, 31, is charged with aggravated child abuse.
According to court records, Corona is the parent, stepparent or guardian of the 15-month-old victim.
The complaint said on September 25, Corona tortured, willfully abused, or cruelly beat the child.
Warrants were taken out on Corona and he was arrested on October 22.
Corona appeared before a district judge on October 25 and bond was set at $100,000.
The judge ordered Corona not to have contact with the victim or the victim's family.
He has since been released on bond.

A single sneeze can spread 2.7 million germs, but the simple act of handwashing can help prevent the spread of germs and keep you and your kids healthy.
"Clean between fingers, then you do wrists, wash up to at least here", explains Carol Lain. "Kids are always in a hurry especially in the summer. They've got places to go and things to do and they're so much in a hurry that they don't spend a proper amount of time washing their hands and they get summer colds and flus and viruses so this is why we do this presentation." adds Carol.
Carol Lain is a public health nurse for the City of Lubbock. She educates hundreds of kids each year in an effort to keep them healthy. "If they would just wash their hands more often, they would get sick less and be at school more often" comments Carol.
So, just how dirty are your hands? Carol turns off the lights and sprays Glo-Germ on the kids hands. "It really shows places they've missed and some of the most common places they miss are the knuckles, back of their hands, their wrists, sometimes both thumbs are completely missed" Carol explains.
Seven year-old Madison Fletcher and seven year-old Trae Exum put their hands under the black light. The light shows you just how dirty their hands are. But Madison and Trae know how important it is to wash their hands. Madison says, "If you don't ever wash your hands, you will get germs everywhere on your body."
Trae says, "I'm going to make sure I scrub real hard." Trae and Madison get to scrubbing and washing their hands. Then they put their hands under the black light again. As you can see, their hands are noticeably cleaner.
Trae says, "I did pretty good."
Madison says, "Washing your hands helps your hands stay clean and you stay healthy."
To stay healthy and clean you need to wash your hands properly. Wet your hands and apply soap. Leave the water running. Next rub your hands vigorously together, creating friction and lather. Scrub inbetween your fingers, your nails, the front and back of your hands and up to your wrists. This should take twenty to thirty seconds. Rinse well and then dry your hands with a paper towel. To prevent contracting additional germs, use the paper towel to turn off the faucet.
A simple song can act as a reminder for kids when washing their hands. Carol says, "Tell children to do their 'A-B-C song' or 'Row Row Row Your Boat' twice and 'Happy Birthday' twice. That's 25 to 30 seconds and that should be ample time to wash their hands."
Safety solutions that can prevent the spread of germs that can cause the common cold and more serious infections like hepatitis A, meningitis and diarrhea. Lain adds anti-bacterial soaps and gel that work without water are fine to use outside and on trips. But just make sure the words "anti-bacterial" are listed on the bottle. And never use it as a replacement for washing your hands altogether.

The Willie Gunn is as far as Earslfield stretches to a gastropub, but the locals haven't been shortchanged. Drop into the attractive front bar, dotted with deep leather chairs, for a casual drink with friends, & perhaps a snack of deep-fried mushrooms with garlic mayo, or bruschetta with cherry tomatoes & mozzarella. If you're in a more romantic or formal mood, head to the restaurant at the back. Here, a meal from the globally influenced menu might commence with pan-fried squid with ginger & chilli noodles or imam bayildi (served, rather oddly, with crème fraîche). Move on to curried leg of lamb, mushroom risotto or a burger. Predictable puddings (sticky toffee, etc) might follow. The wine list has plenty of bottles made for drinking rather than savouring, for under £20.

Weekly Recap (10/25/10-10/30/10), Halloween Editionby Tim Manni
"Frightened by your upcoming ARM reset?"
There's nothing scarier than future uncertainty. When it comes to a mortgage and the monthly payments, the majority of borrowers like the stability that comes with a long-term, fixed-rate loan. You can eliminate the fear of an unknown future mortgage payment by choosing a fully fixed-rate mortgage.
Yet with conforming adjustable rate mortgage (ARM) interest rates hovering in the low-to-mid threes, there are more and more borrowers out there who are tempted to refinance back into an ARM. When someone asks me whether or not they should refinance back into an ARM vs a fixed-rate loan, my response is always akin to that old saying, "If the shoe fits, wear it."
"Don't let your credit score scare away mortgage lenders":
The sheer responsibility that comes with owning a home — making all your payments on time, maintaining the upkeep of the property, etc. — can be a frightening task for those who aren't prepared. However, before the monthly payments and the lawnmowers, comes the mortgage qualification process.
If you're in the market to buy a home, achieving the American dream isn't going to be easy thanks to all the stringent borrowing requirements placed on homebuyers these days.
To give you the best shot at qualifying for a mortgage, Alexandra Kay, professional writer and contributor to HSH.com, offers five ways to make sure your credit score doesn't scare away any mortgage lenders.
"Message to HAMP Servicers: Remember your requirements":
If you ask a borrower, "who is to blame for your HAMP denial?" They'll likely say the servicer. If you ask the servicer, chances are they'll say it's the borrower's fault. Wherever the proper blame lies, a few things are for certain: the foreclosure epidemic is steady if not rising, and failed modifications are still outnumbering permanent mods.
But as the Treasury Department reiterated this month, it's the participating servicers who are the ones with the obligation to the borrower. If a borrower doesn't provide the proper paperwork, then their denial is their own fault; however, "participating servicers are required to certify they tried a variety of solutions including a HAMP modification, a proprietary one, a short sale or some other option to help borrowers avoid foreclosure," according to National Mortgage News.
"Homeowners & homebuyers: Some "green" options expire soon":
Homeowners: Looking for a reason to pull the trigger on that home repair or renovation? If so, here's a reason: federal tax credits for installing certain energy-efficient improvements expire on December 31, 2010:
The tax credit for efficiency upgrades in existing homes (Internal Revenue Code Section 25C) is available for 30 percent of the cost, up to a $1,500 limit for 2009 and 2010, for the installation of certain types of insulation, windows, roofs, water heaters, heat pumps, air conditioners and furnaces. Details on the kinds of products that qualify and instructions for obtaining the credit are available at www.nahb.org/efficiencytaxcredit.
"How will the mortgage market change post elections?"
The latest article from HSH.com, "4 Factors and 3 C's: Mortgage Markets Past the Elections," explores "four areas in various states of flux which need to solidify" before clarity, certainty and confidence can return to the markets. Our hope is that after the Congressional elections on November 2, we'll get a better sense of how these four areas will change or hopefully improve our overall economic picture. As the elections grow nearer, lawmakers have come to a legislative standstill, not knowing whether their party will be in the majority come November 3.
The elections are coming at a time when our country is mired with a lack of consumer confidence because our leaders haven't been able to provide us with much clarity about where our economy is headed in the near future.
"Mortgage rates moved a little lower":
Perhaps the midterm elections will provide a little shakeup to the economy. As economic conditions remain mostly flat, so do mortgage rates. According to the latest edition of HSH.com's Market Trends Newsletter:
Mortgage rates are mostly as flat as the economy, and there doesn't seem to be any strong reason form them to budge much one way other the other, at least not until we get past the forthcoming mid-term elections.
HSH's overall mortgage tracker — our weekly Fixed-Rate Mortgage Indicator (FRMI) — found that the average rate for 30-year fixed-rate mortgages declined by four basis points (.04%), ending HSH.com's national survey at 4.58%.

'Last Comic Standing' finalist appeals to college audience
Students were kept laughing all night by a guest comedian Oct. 15 in Ice Auditorium.
Myq Kaplan had a joke for just about everything and didn't hold back, even cracking a few jokes about audience members.
Kaplan was definitely a good pick for a young adult audience.
He told several raunchy jokes that got the whole crowd laughing, covering everything from gay to incredibly sexual jokes.
"This guy was hilarious. I loved that all his jokes related to each other in some way. He had an awkward presence but that just made him even more hilarious," freshman Caitlynn Fahlgren said.
"He was so funny. I seriously laughed the entire time. I loved that he had a joke about absolutely everything. His level of inappropriateness wasn't too far, but just far enough. He was really engaging with his audience. He kept making fun of one guy for his laugh and me for being late," said freshman Laura Lichti.
Even after his performance, Kaplan kept cracking jokes.
During my interview with him he referred to me as "the Socrates of journalism" because I'm aware that I have a lot to learn, but still tried to fake being the best writer out there.
"I really liked Linfield. Most of the people here seemed really into the show and looked like they were happy to be here," said Kaplan.
Kaplan is a 2010 Last Comic Standing finalist and has appeared on The Tonight Show, Comedy Central Presents, and The Late, Late Show with Craig Fergusen.
He tours the country regularly, and has preformed at more than 1,000 destinations
His CD, Vegan Mind Meld, was one of iTunes top best-selling comedy albums in 2010.

Since coming into the study of astrology, I have deeply pondered the mechanism behind its magical and profound workings. Any student of the subject has surely been amazed by its exactitude and precision in the timing of events, bodily illness, and passing moods that sweep through us in any given day. It is the unending and uncanny accuracy of astrology that keeps me motivated to continue my study. I also believe that astrology can be used to aid in healing. For instance, medical astrology can often be as accurate as a laboratory test, yet looking at the astrological chart is completely non-invasive.
Kepler graduate Chris Brennan prepared an overview article that gives a roundup of predictions made by astrologers about the outcome of the 2012 presidential election in the United States. The article doesn't just focus on the predicted outcome, but includes the techniques used. "The purpose of this exercise is so that we can go back after the election and have a discussion within the astrological community about which techniques worked, and which ones didn't." Read the article.
The daily countdown to the Presidential election has started in earnest. It's the season of prediction, so of course astrologers are feeling right at home. Since the Presidential Panel in May at UAC 2012 to the latest commentary in blogs, newsletters and the Huffington post, astrologers have used a wide variety of indicators to determine how the candidates will fare. Below I have highlighted a few of the more interesting columns that present a variety of techniques, from modern to ancient, Western to Vedic. Although most predict President Obama will win, no one thinks it is going to be an easy path.
My first experience with the Kepler Certificate Program has been an amazing journey. After many years of reading and trying to understand how astrology works, I decided I needed help pulling all the pieces together.
Since I work and have a family, the Kepler online learning program has been a wonderful way for me to reach out to the Universe and understand just a little more about who I am and where I want to go. The teachers are extremely knowledgeable and accessible.
The online learning environment is a great tool with video, audio, webinars, resource links, pdf documents, etc. Kepler also includes their own text and work book and a great selection of an easy to understand astrology books. With the ability to review any area I may find challenging, my learning is exciting and adapted to my needs.
I am enthusiastic and looking forward to continuing my astrological search with Kepler.
Thanks again, Linda Schingen (W101)

By Jennifer Emert - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) - Still no charges in the murder of a man found floating in the Flint River and tonight Dougherty County Police worry that this case will go unsolved without your help.
Fifty-two year old Willie Haggines was found floating in the Flint, South of Radium Golf Course, ten days ago. He had been slashed and stabbed and thrown into the water. Investigators say they've struggled to find a reason why anyone would kill Haggines and without a crime scene, their case has hit a dead end.
"We have no crime scene, no witnesses, and we have no physical evidence, and it's extremely difficult. The general rule of thumb is the longer you go after a homicide after it takes place the more difficult they are," said Dougherty County Police Chief Don Cheek.
Police are asking anyone who may have seen or heard anything about Haggines death even if they think it's minor, to contact Dougherty County or Albany Police. They can also make an anonymous tip to Crimestoppers at 436-TIPS. Haggines suffered multiple stab and slash wounds.

After momentarily appearing as combatants over a 10th school campus, Los Altos' city council and school board now seem committed to being collaborators, and may soon meet face to face.
During its on Tuesday meeting, the Los Altos City Council called for a joint meeting between the two bodies in the near future to discuss how they can work together on finding a site, among other issues.
In the meantime, the city's City/Schools Issues Standing Committee is scheduled to meet at 6 p.m. on May 15, in the council chambers at 1 N. San Antonio Rd.
The action comes after , when council members let it be known they were unhappy with talk that some Los Altos School District (LASD) board members were contemplating taking the former Hillview school campus, now a part of the civic center, by eminent domain.
Board members told Patch then, and continued to stress at , that the district was not contemplating taking that action.
The backdrop of the issue is that the board is under pressure from a recent state appeals court decision over Bullis Charter School that has triggered a search for a 10th campus for the district's students.
"They are subject to a court order, time is running, and I would like to be in there helping, not hindering, and so if there's anything we can do to help them, I'd like to be in there to do that," Councilmember Ron Packard said at Tuesday's council meeting.

Volkswagen has developed a way to turn its cars into giant metal DJs. When plugged into a Volkswagen GTI, the German vehicle manufacturer's Play The Road iOS app uses a swath of data from the car — including its velocity, engine revs, and location — to create a soundtrack that changes as it's driven.
The app's responsive sounds were created by electronic music pioneers Underworld. At low speeds, the app produces calming synth sounds. As the driver turns, it plays scales that sound like an electronic waterfall, cascading as the driver turns left to take the scales higher, and right to take them lower. At higher speeds, the synth is joined by pounding drumbeats. Go even faster, as Volkswagen's test driver does in its 17-minute test video on a closed track, and the effects wash out almost entirely, leaving the driver with an ethereal electro soundtrack to their joyride that only kicks back in as he slows down.
In addition to data provided by the car's on-board computer, the app uses information from the iPhone's gyroscope and accelerometer to modulate the music on the fly, also using the smartphone's GPS system to work out where the car has traveled, and when to play specific sounds. Drive through the countryside, for example, and you'll hear birds interspersed in your personal soundtrack.
The result is a surprisingly coherent song that somehow sounds more like a bespoke soundtrack than the meanderings of a car on tarmac. But you'll have to wait a while before conducting your own electronic orchestra with your steering wheel: perhaps because Volkswagen is worried about the safety implications of urging people to drive faster, the app is not yet available for commercial use.

Motorcycle enthusiasts from throughout the area converged on the Harley-Davidson Shed recently to help fill the cupboards of a local food pantry.
Big Daddy's Sports Bar and Teeters Bar and Grill each made large donations of food and funds for the Manna from Heaven food pantry during the event on Aug. 23. The Dixie Iron Riders riding group also led motorcyclists on a ride and members of the group helped Manna from Heaven president Stephanie Stieler throughout the day as she spearheaded the event.
Big Daddy's employees brought a Sport Utility Vehicle loaded down with food. Teeters Sports Bar employees answered the challenge to help the area needy by bringing a truckload of food.
Stieler said sponsors for the event included Smoky Mountain Harley-Davidson, Teeters Sport Bar, The Hair Garden and Target.
"It went very, very well. We had 2,000 pounds of food, $800 in cash with the sale of tickets and $1,500 in donations," Stieler said. "What was impressive was the enthusiasm of the business people and how they reached out."
Stieler also credited Truth Radio for helping get word of the event out to the public. A group of 10 volunteers showed up because of hearing about the event on Truth Radio, she said.
"I was very impressed with our first food drive. I'm very impressed with just the way the community came together," she said.
Stieler said a toy drive is planned for Nov. 22.

Open Thread: Obama Forgets His First Year
Every president when running for reelection comes up with very specific metrics to tout his success. Barack Obama seems to be doing so in a very unusual fashion--completely ignoring the first one-third of his presidency and focusing only on the last two-thirds. Why? Byron York takes a look:
Obviously, the president is trying to make his record look better; his first months in the White House saw devastating job losses and economic misery. Yet most of what Obama accomplished domestically also occurred in that unmentioned period.
In fact, March 2010 just happened to be the month in which the president's signature achievement, the national health care program known as Obamacare, became law.
It came at a time when Americans were desperate for Obama to devote all of his attention to fixing the economy and helping create jobs. What is sometimes forgotten today is that, at the time, the president and his allies in Congress argued that passing Obamacare was, in fact, the most important thing they could do to create jobs.
Democrats had wanted to pass national health care for generations. But faced with a terrible economic crisis, they were pressed to explain why they were spending time on health care rather than the economy. So after passing the $826 billion stimulus in February 2009 (another accomplishment of the lost period that sometimes goes unmentioned), they began to argue that passing the health care bill was critical for economic recovery.
Obamacare, they claimed, was really a jobs bill.
With Obamacare persistently unpopular and potentially about to be thrown out by the U.S. Supreme Court, it's no wonder that portion of space-time seems to have mysteriously vanished.

I don't think that's entirely accurate

The auto bailout certainly hasn't disappeared; even Romney is running on his success in resurrecting Detroit. Then again if you think about the 2004 election George Bush wasn't exactly running on being president during the worst terror attack in US history, but on his successes after that first dreadful year of his presidency.

Well, first off, ...
Submitted by Newsbubba on Tue, 06/19/2012 - 10:29am.
... Bush actually responded to the attack on the USA by the "Religion of Peace," in a very strong way. I just wish we had finished it in about 60 days with the evaporation of Mecca and Medina. I guess I can't have everything I want, though.
Obama, on the other hand, took what he called something about "a car in th' DITCH, and ... and ... and ... we don't wanna' giv'em back th' KEYS!"
He then proceeded to dig a deeper ditch, push the Fluking car even deeper into it, set the thing on fire, then flood the ditch so we may never be able to even find the car, much less get it out of that ditch he keeps "talkin' bout, yo!"
Oh, and Bush was doing pretty well (except for not removing the middle east) until he got Nancy and Harry in charge of the checkbook. Too bad he didn't run over their asses with that car before he drove it in the ditch.
But let's agree to disagree. Bush wasn't great, but Obama is one hell of a lot worse, and Romney won't be great, but Obama will be even worse in a second term.
A great philosopher once said, "things just have to get worse before they can get worse." (no typo. That's what he said)
I have a feeling that's where we are in the USSA today.

Why should anyone forget Obama's First Year?
Submitted by needle on Tue, 06/19/2012 - 10:57am.
Oddly enough Obama was worshiped by many like a rock star (and blasphemously regarded as the Messiah) during his first year characterized by:
His hugely wasteful trillion dollar pork stuffed "stimulus"
His co-opting and bribing Big Pharma to endorse ObamaCare
His fraudulently promoting ObamaCare, and just plain lying about it.
His inappropriate, ineffectual, and embarrassing trip to Copenhagen to get the Olympics to come to Chicago
His using Air Force 1 like a golf cart
His apology tour and bowing to kings (and essentially giving the nation the finger)
The beginning to Michelle's wildly exorbitant vacation trips while the nation was suffering through a terrible recession. (Obama doesn't feel our pain; he is our pain)
So why forget it? Let's revisit it again and again and again and …
This is just the sort of hate-America stuff Liberals and the DNC media thrive on, so let's live it up.

Do not be fooled - Obama's first year was a raging success
Submitted by Dave. on Tue, 06/19/2012 - 12:54pm.
If you believe, as I do, that Obama's ultimate goals are to bankrupt America, destroy its economic system, then ultimately destroy the country itself, then his first year in the White House went swimmingly.
Obama has America right exactly where he wants it - lying on its deathbed and hemorrhaging profusely.
And putting Mittens RINOmney in the White House next January will only delay the inevitable, because he has proven to me that he just doesn't get it.
Not even a little bit.

The CBO reported that the federal budget deficit for this year will be $1.1 trillion (http://1.usa.gov/xju6K9). That number is in addition to total debt over $15 Trillion and projections that by 2021 federal debt will be over $20 trillion (http://1.usa.gov/wt4DPi).

Mr Warren claims the Dr Oz Show said it would pay for the entire surgery at a top-notch hospital. However, the show would keep exclusive rights to tell Mr Warren's story.
He said he didn't take the TV program up on its offer because Howard Stern wanted him on his show again.
The extremely rare condition, called scrotal elephantiasis, is much more common in Africa and Southeast Asia, where it is caused by parasites, than it is in the western world.
Mr Warren says he contracted it somehow when he hit his testicle with his own leg while turning in bed one morning.
Yeah, right, cause this happens all the time.
Considering past antics, I wouldn't bet against Oz bringing audience members up on stage to play the role of Mr. Warren's testicles while wearing hoodies.

The Modern View on Marriage and Divorce- Single Parenting or Staying Together for the Kids?
Is it better to end a tumultuous marriage and become a single parent, rather than trying to make it work? Having experienced it from the child's point of view- could it work for the sake of maintaining stability in life and holding together hope for future relationships? Do people understand the profound effect it can have; having to watch parents go through numerous relationships, lack of confidence, getting by on one household income? Not only that, but emotions that come with being shared with parents, and feeling second because they need to start their new life from scratch?
Mainly- What is it like when your parents stick to it?
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
May 25 2013: Not an easy question. In some cases two people stay married for the sake of the kids but if this becomes so abrasive that the children suffer then it becomes self defeating. But, in other cases it is the right thing to do. In other cases the persistent marriage dies a horrible slow death where little remains between the two parents other than habit. This destroys the two lives of the parents while allowing the children to blossom, in that sense it requires self sacrifice. It denies a new life of potential love to those parents.
Now, is it true to say that a single parent family misses out on something? In some way yes, there is one parent with much more stress and pressure on them and less time for the parent to find love for themselves. This is compensated to some degree by the love of the children and the joy in being a parent. However, it is hard on that one parent and the child misses out on a gender role model, a father or a mother. This will be missed and effects lives for a long time including potential relationships of the single parent children themselves.

The hype, the hoopla and the hyperbole. LeBron James asks in his new Nike commercial "What should I do?". Well for starters how about winning a game. Ok, that was probably a tad bit brutal but seriously, just win. The Big 3 or Miami Thrice or whatever you want to call them finally took the court for a game that really counted and the Boston Celtics not only gave them a game, they showed the Heat just how hard it will be to win a title, even for a team as talented as them. The Celtics won the game 88-80 and in the process sent a message to the Heat, the Eastern Conference and the league in general that they arent going anywhere just yet. Will Boston be this spry after 82 games? Maybe, maybe not but one thing was made clear and that is the Celtics are a vastly superior team defensively than Miami and I don't see that changing anytime soon.
Dwyane Wade is working his way back after suffering the hamstring injury and this was his first game since the preseason opener. LeBron played well and Chris Bosh was mostly forgettable. The Big 3 could only muster up 9 points in the first quarter. Not exactly what Micky Arison had envisioned when he shelled out $217 million this summer to sign Wade, Bosh and James. These guys will eventually work out the kinks and just like they wont go 82-0 they wont go 0-82 either. Its one thing to look at teams on paper and to actually watch them play and my eyes tell me the Heat not only have some issues (as do all the title contenders including my Lakers) but they may not even be the best in the East, much less the league. Like I said, they will eventually work out the kinks but they look to me like a jump shooting team. The one major thing I don't like about Miami is they don't have much going on in the low post. In blowout games that wont be a factor but in close games it will rear its ugly head. Teams that win titles typically have some sort of low post option. Boston has Kevin Garnett, Orlando has Dwight Howard. The Lakers have Pau Gasol, Kobe Bryant and Andrew Bynum. Somebody that can catch the ball down low and force the defense to react. LeBron to date has not developed a low post game nor does he look to go down there much, preferinginstead to attack from the top of the key. Bosh is more comfortable facing up than he is with his back to the basket and Wade is more of a slasher. To me this all adds up to a team that will have trouble executing late in close games.
Phil Jackson. Doc Rivers. Stan Van Gundy. Erik Spoelstra. One of those names just doesn't seem to belong in that group and Spoelstra would be that name. Say what you want about SVG but at least he has gotten his team to the Finals. There is a TON of pressure on the Miami Heat. They've even got their own section on ESPN called the Heat Index. Its hard to win when you're expected to win. That's why Phil Jackson's coaching record is so remarkable. Every year his team is expected to win and they mostly deliver. After the Miami/Celtics game I saw a lot of blank looks from the Miami side of things. Spoelstra said they weren't going to press the panic button just yet but the fact that he even mentioned the word 'panic' is telling. When Bosh and James arrived in Miami to join Wade, Erik Spoelstra went from coaching a mediocre borderline playoff team to a title contender overnight. He went from being a young and upcoming coach a guy who is supposed to lead this super team to a title in their first year together. As much pressure as there is on the Big 3 there's just as much if not more on Spoelstra with Pat Riley looking over his shoulder. If things get rough will he be able to maintain control of the team and LeBron in particular who would love to see Riley back on the sideline, a notion that Wade is not particularly fond of. Well, as we all know an NBA season is a marathon, not a sprint and we will soon see what all of these teams are made of and more importantly, what they are not made of.

Sir Alex, who was missing a host of players through injury and illness, made three changes to the side that started against Tottenham, with Chris Smalling replacing the rested Rio Ferdinand at the heart of the defence, Paul Scholes returning in central midfield and Gabriel Obertan coming in for only his second start of the campaign. Javier Hernandez and Ji-sung Park dropped to the bench with Dimitar Berbatov leading the line on his own up front. Bursaspor manager Ertugrul Saglam, meanwhile, had the luxury of fielding a full-strength team, although he opted to leave defender Milan Stepanov, fit again after suffering a knee injury at Old Trafford, on the bench.
As the Reds have experienced many times before in Turkey, the home fans did their utmost to make things as hostile as possible and, despite being without a point or goal before kick-off, the hosts quickly looked to unsettle the visitors. Despite Bursaspor's best efforts, it was United who had the first sight of goal on eight minutes. Patrice Evra made a fine run down the left before crossing towards Berbatov, but the Bulgarian was unable to generate enough power on his header to trouble fellow countryman Dimitar Ivankov.
Soon afterwards, following loud but unfounded home appeals for a penalty after Sercan Yildirim collapsed under Scholes' challenge, Berbatov had the game's second noteworthy effort, fizzing a low shot straight at Ivankov from

Bonds and equities differ in both legal and accounting terms. Bonds are debt, whereas equities are (you guessed it, didn't you?) equity. So bonds are treated as liabilities while equities are treated as capital, and thus they belong in different places on the balance sheet.
They are also different in investment terms, both as to income and capital values or payments. Bonds, being debt instruments, pay a fixed rate of interest expressed as a percentage of their face value, and repay (redeem) that face value on maturity, which is itself a fixed date. Equities are different.
Equities: income
Let's look at the income side of things first. For the purposes of learning about finance we will assume that the issuer of a bond must pay the interest due to the bond-holder every year, though in practice there are some special types of bonds that have slightly more flexible arrangements. This is not the case with equities.
The directors choose whether to pay a dividend in respect of any one year; they are not obliged to, and in general there is little shareholders can do to challenge their decision. Thus while you may hold equities in the expectation of receiving a dividend, there is no guarantee that this will actually happen.
Nor is there any certainty as to the amount. If a bond with a face value of $100 pays 5% interest, then the amount of the interest payment every year will be $5, irrespective of whether the current price of the bond is $200 or $50.
In the case of dividends, the directors decide how much to pay in respect of every share; again, they have complete discretion on this. The only exception to this are preference shares or preferred stock, which do usually carry a fixed rate of dividend, but in practice most investors treat these in much the same way as they do bonds.
There is only one essential difference, and it affects the business rather than the investor: interest payments on bonds are paid before tax and may be deducted as a legitimate expense when calculating the businesss tax liability, whereas dividends, even on preference shares, are payable after tax.
When viewed purely from the viewpoint of tax efficiency, it is much more desirable for a business to raise debt finance rather than equity.
So, with equities there is a right to receive a dividend only if the directors decide to grant one, and even then there is no certainty as to how much it will be. As a matter of practice, however, most public companies, particularly in the UK, once having established a customary rate of dividend, will strive to maintain it if they possibly can.
Cutting the dividend can be a key indicator of problems within the business and will frequently also cause a drop in the share price, thus both making the company more vulnerable to a take-over and leading to general shareholder dissatisfaction.
If you want to track the dividend policy of a company, you can do it by using the dividend payout ratio. This operates in two ways, one at the level of one individual share, and the other at the level of the company as a whole (though both should give the same result!).The inverse of the dividend payout ratio is called the retention ratio. Whichever one of these you choose to use, they are valuable analysis tools.
Is a company maintaining the dividend yield, but only at the expense of paying out more and more of the company's profits? If so, how will it fund any necessary capital expenditure in coming years, and what areas might it be starving of cash – new product development, perhaps?
On the other hand, if a business has a large cash pile but is distributing a relatively small amount of earnings every year, then might it not do better to increase the dividend yield, or even to offer to buy back some of its shares from the shareholders?
Equities: capital
Bonds are generally issued for a fixed term, during which they are traded on a public exchange. Thus you have a choice of buying on the primary market (when they are issued) or the secondary (where you buy an existing bond that has already used up some of its lifetime from another investor).
When it comes to realizing some capital, you also have a choice. You can hold the bond to maturity and receive its face value by way of redemption, or you can sell it on the secondary market for its current market price.

The Hub city's Odde Ice Center could soon receive a facelift.
The Aberdeen Hockey Association and Aberdeen Wings presented to the Brown County Commission Tuesday morning to request land to build a 10,000 square foot addition.
It was just two years ago when the Aberdeen Wings began playing hockey.
Since then, the Odde Ice Center has been the home of the wings and their thousands of fans.
On any given night more than 1300 people fill the stands, cheering on their home team.
According to the Aberdeen Hockey Association it's that success and popularity that's helped attract more local players.
"We've almost doubled our youth; the wings have had an incredible success in their first two years. We've got the momentum heading forward," Michael Carrels, Aberdeen Hockey Association Vice President said.
Carrels says in order to move forward an addition to the Odde Ice Center arena is needed.
Carrels and Aberdeen Wings CEO Gregg Odde presented the proposed 30 by 170 foot addition to Brown County Commissioners Tuesday morning.
"When we brought the team to town. One of the requirements to have in an North American hockey league team is to have a dedicated locker room that your team uses," Odde said.
He says their current facilities lack office space, proper locker rooms and enough seating for the flurry of fans that fill the arena.
"I think it's terribly important because that's just one more opportunity for entertainment in the brown county area and on any given evening out there when the wings are playing particularly, it's filled to capacity," Duane Sutton, Brown County Commissioner said.
With an estimated 50,000 plus fans filling the stadium this past year, Carrels says more seats and proper facilities are a must.
The full commission still has to vote on and approve the use of additional land on the fairground.
The entire project would be paid for by the Aberdeen Hockey Association and the Aberdeen Wings.

YAZOO CITY, MS (WLBT) - A Yazoo City man was inside the Hillcrest Baptist Saturday morning when it was destroyed by a Tornado.
Dale Thrasher says his wife called him at the church around 11:30 to tell him that a tornado was at Little Yazoo.
Thrasher looked outside and saw the rain and the funnel cloud. The only place he had to go was back inside the church.
He ran into the sanctuary and dived underneath the communion table as the church came down around him.
Thrasher was not hurt, but injuries and property damage are reported in the Yazoo City area.

It was heady times in the middle of the 21st century. In 2031, scientists using the shiny new, extra gigantic super collider, much to their extremely brief surprise, created a black hole, a tiny naked singularity. In less than a blink of an eye, all that was left, was a hundred yard diameter sphere of vacuum, followed by the thunderclap created as the air rushed in to fill it.
The huge chunk of now the missing collider, assorted other bits and pieces of the facility, along with several surprised scientists simultaneously appeared in space about 2,000 miles away from earth. The pieces, inexorably pulled back home by gravity, and guided by the mysterious cosmic forces that seem to like mobile homes, demolished the Happy Acres trailer park in Texas, and everything else in the area on impact. How the large piece of the gigantic collider ended up appearing 2,000 miles from earth before falling back, with a most notable bang, created the infantile glimmerings that you might actually be able to travel through a wormhole.
Within ten years the first crude worm drive had been installed into a cobbled together ship, and in five days it hopped its way to Alpha Centauri A, and brought back pictures of not one, but five planets. It didn't take long to discover that there were thousands of inhabitable, more or less, planets, and the first pioneers left earth to find their Edens. These pioneers were a hugely varied lot. Religious sects that wanted planets that would have no unbelievers, manufacturing, and mining companies that didn't desire oversight about cleaning up after themselves, the rich who could own a planet as a vacation home, political groups, nudists, and endless other hordes of ethnic, and special interest groups.
Like rabbits on hormones, humanity multiplied and fled the mother planet to live on thousands of newly found planets in the nearby stars. It didn't take long for the squabbles to start. Groups started to get territorial. Believers didn't want non-believers sharing the same solar system. Systems banded together, and started to bully their neighbors, such as they were, and almost quickly as humanity exploded out into the galaxy, it all collapsed.
All of the worm drives were still built, on mother earth, and a ultra fanatical group, for reasons known only to them took a small nuclear device, and blew up the facility, that very carefully stored the singularities. In nanoseconds they, and 25 percent of mother earth was just plain gone. No new worm drives would ever be made again, on a now very wobbly mother earth.
Like all things made by man, the ships required maintenance. The computers that calculated to the umpteenth decimal point where to point the drive, required skilled upkeep, and there were now few left that could do this. Travel between the stars shortly ground nearly to a stop. The worm drive used a small loophole in Mr Einstein's calculations, but radio waves, or lasers could not, and sending a message between solar systems would take decades to reach the recipients, if it got there at all. Planets that were self sufficient plowed forward, some better than others. Many planets were not self sufficient, and in time, Darwin quietly took care of them.So we start our story On the planet Bliss. Ben Thompson is the son of a specialist in the repair of terraforming equipment, and when he was eighteen his father was reassigned to repair the oxygen making systems on a small but very mineral rich planet colonized by Luddites. Although the Luddites espoused low technology, this belief ground to a quick halt at the planets oxygen making systems, and they had more than enough gemstones and exotic minerals laying around to pay for the repairs. Ben opted to remain on Bliss rather than go to such a backward place.

Easy to make and pretty. I used 1/2 of a honey crisp apple, organic cream cheese, and 1 cup of toasted pecans for the outside. (For toasting nuts, I place them on a cookie sheet in a 350 oven for 4 minutes, and use a timer.) Served with ritz crackers. My guests said it was very good.

In 2010 I had this bold idea that I would leave my desk job in DC and move to Nashville to become a musician. Being a bit less well off than I'd prefer, I haven't been able to make it out to many FSU events and I jumped at the chance to see FSU play @ the NCAA Tourney. Anyway, I'm not sure why I'm explaining all of this, maybe just to say that the 97.50 hurts a bit more than I'd like to and thinking about other people, especially in Nashville, in similar situations makes me respect those who do not talk trash to the other team's fans after games.
As for the game...
I'd agree that Cincy outplayed FSU. Kind of. Really, FSU executed its offense unlike any I've seen but failed to convert around the basket. Bernard James was outclassed all night under the rim as he failed to make the second/third move to get the big man to foul. (i.e., instead of taking the jump hook, pivot across the defender's body and finish towards the hoop. He did not try. Once). Kerr was a liability on defense and while he had the size to back down Cincy's big front court, getting into a slug fest down low was the last thing FSU needed. (and kerr also was not making the 2nd move).
The other gentlemen who didn't finish around the basket...well, all I can say is no one on either team was getting that foul tonight.
Did FSU make any coaching errors? No--nothing too bad. The one thing that bugged me all 2nd half was that Cincy's point guard was gassed. Why we were unable to clear out for Loukes was beyond me. No1 would get conveniently picked off of the ball which=rest.
What might have won us this game? Well, FSU can't suddenly become a better ball handling team, but it can force the tempo. I thought letting Cincy run their press and not responding with a press was a huge mistake. Cincy was very gassed and did not have great ball handling big men (their big dudes were very top heavy...i.e., bad hips). I wouldn't necessarily call this a coaching error because what FSU was doing was working...it just wasn't working very quickly.
What was the hardest thing to swallow? Our team was barely sweating. Cincy walked out with a win and legs of rubber. I'm not sure what more we could have given, but it was hard to see the time tick out and know if that game went 8 more minutes Cincy was toast.
Anyway...I'm going to end this ADD laden article and call it a night. Watching games like this makes me want to coach. Bend your knees. Get on the ground. Protect the ball. Look before you throw. Face cut. Full court press. Iso. Win.

text: SAN DIEGO (CBS 8/ CNS) - A cold winter storm is expected to bring rain, wind and snow Tuesday night, and some of the wintry weather has already started. The storm out of the Gulf of Alaska began moving over the San Diego area Tuesday, bringing scattered precipitation expected to increase markedly Tuesday night and early Wednesday.As of late Tuesday afternoon, the banks of dark clouds had dropped only traces of moisture in many parts of the county, and a few one-hundredths to around a tenth of an inch in other areas.Total rainfall from the unsettled atmospheric system likely will range from one-quarter to three-quarters of an inch along the coast and in the valleys, as much as two inches on some mountain slopes, and up to a half-inch in desert locales, according to the National Weather Service. Some small hail also is possible, the federal agency advised.The snow level, meanwhile, should drop to as low as 1,500 feet Tuesday night and possibly to 1,000 feet by around dawn Wednesday. The storm is expected to drop anywhere from one to four inches of frozen white flakes between 2,000 and 3,000 feet, up to eight inches between 3,000 and 5,000 feet, and as much as 20 inches on the highest local peaks.Driving and boating could be hazardous at times as winds up to 70 mph blow over desert slopes and passes, and gale-force gusts whip along the ocean shoreline, according to meteorologists.

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) - Some local Marines and their families are thankful for a special gift given by a group of community members. Monday night the Marines enjoyed a holiday get together with a free home cooked meal.
Five couples served and cooked the meals, their way of giving back to those who serve overseas. "It means a lot to them to know that people still care and are thinking about them," said Floyd Hicklen one of the ten people who helped organize the dinner.
The Marines enjoyed the food, but also enjoyed just being with family and friends for the holidays, something they don't always get to do. "I like the opportunity to come and hang out with the family and just try to spend some time with my brother since he wasn't here for Christmas last year, so it means a lot," said Austin Williams, brother of Corporal Jason Williams.
Jason Williams just got back from Iraq in March but will be deployed to Afghanistan in the spring. "I get to savor the moment and be with my family this year, and next year, I'll make it count this year because I'm not going to be here next year," said Corporal Williams.
For a couple of hours the Marines forgot about the war, and focused on their families. "The families are enjoying it. That's the joy we get out the whole thing seeing everyone else get a lot excitement out of it, it's for the kids," said Staff Sgt. Cedric Foster.
Santa even came early for the kids, making a grand entrance and passing out presents.

Although most colds go away on their own and don't warrant a visit to the doctor, in some cases the common cold can cause a health complication like, on occasion, bronchitis, pneumonia, an ear infection, sinusitis or asthma. The viruses behind the common cold can cause more severe complications in children, including ear infections.
Medical Complications
A child may develop croup from a common cold. And the common cold is the predominant trigger of asthma symptoms for children and adults with asthma.
Acute Ear Infection (Otitis Media)
Ear infection is a frequent complication of the common cold in children. There can be fluid build-up and congestion in the ear drum. When bacteria or the cold virus infiltrates the usually air-filled space behind the eardrum (the middle ear), the result is an ear infection, which typically causes an extremely painful earache. A very young child who cannot verbalize what they are going through may cry or sleep poorly. A child with an ear infection also might have a green or yellow nasal discharge, and sometimes a recurrence of a fever after a common cold.
This is an infection of the sinuses and nasal passages accompanied by inflammation and pain. It can develop when a common cold persists because blocked sinuses trap bacteria or viruses in the nasal mucus and germs grow very fast causing infection and inflammation. Sinusitis is a common complication marked by facial pain, bad headaches and sinus pain as well as fever, cough, sore throat, loss of taste and smell, a feeling of fullness in the ears, and bad breath. Bathe nasal passages using a Neti pot or other small pot or squeeze bottle. Inhaling steam can also bring relief. Pour boiling water into a bowl or pan, then bend over it with a towel over your head and inhale the steam. Or try a hot shower. Acute sinusitis can last for up to four weeks and chronic sinusitis for up to three months. You may require antibiotics. Check with your physician.
Asthma Symptoms
Some asthma symptoms, such as wheezing, can be triggered in a child or adult by a common cold.
Other Medical Complications
Strep throat (streptococcal pharyngitis, pneumonia, and bronchitis are other possible complications that can arise from the common cold.
Lifestyle Disruption
Sleep Disruption
Sleep is often affected by the common cold. Symptoms like a runny nose, nasal congestion, or a cough are often very uncomfortable and can make it hard to breathe. This can keep you from getting enough sleep to function properly during the day.
Physical Difficulties
Physical activity can be difficult if you have a cold. Vigorous exercise can be especially challenging with nasal congestion making breathing difficult. Stick to gentle forms of exercise like walking so you can stay active without overexerting yourself.

Routes Sorted

Look for the crack on the right side of the rock (See beta photo of Flakey). Follow the crack up to a sloping ledge with large rock leaning against it and belay. Walkoff/downclimb to the right. There did not seem to be a distinct crux. There may be a second pitch or an extension of the first (I will investigate next time). Upon returning we tried a short crack (30-40 ft, see photo, right of rope) to the right of the belay. This is definitely harder than the first pitch, possibly 5.8. Although short I enjoyed this more than the first pitch.
The route is on the right side of the rock. It is an obvious crack behind a pine tree that heads up to a large roof. We exited to the right just below the roof. To get down is simple just walk right, down climb a short slab, slide through hole between rocks, walk under the rocks, down climb a boulder, then boulder hop back to the start. If you climb the second pitch, you can rap off webbing and a nut. I added some webbing and a rap triangle January '09. Thanks to the individual who left the nut.
