Plans announced to downgrade services at Friarage Hospital, Northallerton
12:00pm Tuesday 11th September 2012 in News
HEALTH bosses have today announced plans to end consultant-led maternity services and 24-hour paediatric services at Northallerton 's Friarage Hospital.
Following months of protests by people across North Yorkshire, including a mass-march through Northallerton, a huge petition and a series of public meetings, NHS Hambleton Richmondshire and Whitby Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) has published its recommendation for the future of the Friarage.
The CCG's preferred options are:
*Running a midwifery led maternity unit, including a community midwifery and outpatient service;
*Running a short stay paediatric children's assessment unit including a community nursing and outpatient service.
The group said that of the two other options put forward, keeping a consultant-led paediatric and maternity service would require significant investment and would still be fragile in terms of sustainability.
It said that providing a paediatric outpatient service only (no assessment unit) with enhanced community services, whilst offering a midwifery-led maternity service, would be too restrictive in terms of patient access to services.
Richmond MP William Hague, who has led opposition to the changes, said: "I am disappointed that the CCG have not been able to find a unique solution to the challenges facing the hospital and I continue to encourage them to set out a clear and positive vision for the Friarage Hospital.
"We must maintain our opposition to these changes and I call on the trust and CCG to ensure these vitally important local services are maintained."
Dr Vicky Pleydell, shadow accountable officer at the CCG, said: "We have spent the last few weeks analysing all the data we have collected on the Friarage and the options available to us.
"After careful consideration, our council of members, made up of all local GPs, has recommended an option that would see a midwifery led maternity unit and an short stay paediatric assessment unit at The Friarage.
"We will recommend to the Primary Care Trust Board that this is our preferred option, along with the other two options we feel are less suitable, then we will be running a public consultation.
"We know children's and maternity services at the Friarage have been facing issues for some time and this option means that women can still have low risk births at the Friarage and children can still be assessed by the appropriate clinician.
"Our duty is to commission the safest, most high quality services and clinical evidence tells us that this option will allow us to do this, whilst ensuring we remain within our allocation of funding."
The paper detailing the recommendation will be taken to the CCG's Shadow Governing Body, at a meeting held in public, on Monday, September 17 for discussion and approval.
Following that meeting, the recommendation will be discussed by the board of primary care trust NHS North Yorkshire and York at its meeting on September 25.
The board will decide the final options for public consultation, which would take place over 14 weeks.
*Monday's meeting will take place from 10am to 12pm at The Main Hall, Hambleton Forum, Bullamoor Road, Northallerton. There will be a 20 minute question and answer session at the beginning of the meeting for members of the public to ask questions.

why the h--l are we doing this massive waste of money, then closing hospitals, it just doesn't make any sense.
Who agrees to this sort of spending on pointless defence systems we would never use, i never voted for it, did you ????
God help us, lets home the homeless, and treat the sick, etc etc, before we waste our money on such a shame.

I really love your theme and want to use it for my popular site http://Big-Apple.TV.
You've made some great improvements with v1.4 (e.g. vimeo, special data fields for video, etc.), but there are some things like the following – also on your demo site: Click on the picture in the following post, sometimes it will open, sometimes not (move the mouse a bit around), when it opens you see a text above the picture: "none" and the blue arrows from below the pictures shine trough… and several other things like this…http://mimothemes.com/demos/plus/?p=1802
tested on Mac with Safari and Chrome. Will you release a fix for that soon?
Hi, thank you for the feedback, you can be sure that it will be fixed in version 1.6, i have uploaded version 1.5 today, still waiting for approval so hat's whay i cannot include this fix in 1.5
Best regards.
Thank you very much for the answer and good to know! I'll wait for v 1.6.
Best regards, it will be ready soon.
I'm eagerly waiting…
pre sales question is it possible to disable the responsiveness?
Hi, yes, if you buy the theme i can send you a quick fix. Also the theme has the possibility to have your own iphone mobile style theme, only for iphone, if you would like to use it you should need to style it by yourself.
Is this a Wordpress theme or not?
Hi, yes of course it is a Wordpress theme.
Thanks! It doesn't actually say this is a Wordpress theme anywhere in the description of the Theme. I have been burnt in the past with something similar, so you might want to make it clear. Mimo Plus is a Wordpress theme. Not to mention its a keyword people search for.
Edit: Plus is an extremely easy to use Responsive Grid Multipurpose Magazine "Wordpress " Theme
Thank you for the feedback, as it is included in Wordpress Section i thought didn't need to be mentioned but i will change description right now.
What a nightmare this theme is! I love the design, but it's almost imposible to understand the set-up and documentation. The whole layout is built via widgets with no structured documentation of anything realting to what element is which. 80 widget layout options with no idea what they are – get your head around that one! I've uploaded the demo content and the gantry set-up and I still cannot understand how it works. After hours of trying to work it out it's now deleted. Waste of time and money – I can only encourage others who are not Guru level users to avoid this at all costs!
Hi, i am so sorry for your situation, there is a video step by step guide to fire the theme, also in documentationthere are 2 images showing how to publish default widgets like menu, responsive menu…etc.
But if you cannot fire it please send me details to firstname.lastname@example.com so i can fire it for you as it is in demo in 5 minutes.
Best Regards.
@northerbird I agree the documentation could be better. I also was forced deleted my first attempt at trying to build out the "demo look" and am now trying for the second time. also when you upload the XML file it seems to crash leaving you with a broken theme. I however will not give up because I think this is a beautiful theme and really want it to work. Mimo do you think you could record your screen of a basic set up that we could follow along with? Here is a great example of video training for themes -http://para.llel.us/support/videos/ and or please rewrite the "Site start Up" section of our read me file? It is very difficult to understand! ie look at image above, when image is below, or Create override home, when its actually "new override" and for some reason the theme always seems to default back to the "default setting" and the whole Assignments area makes no sense. I take it back please make a video first ASAP!! Thanks so much!
- Ps why does everything turn grey after you create an override, making you check boxes to edit? also why do you ever have to over ride in the first place? It makes no sense.
- Pss to above response, that does "fire" mean you keep saying it in your documentation and now your responses? does it mean to Execute, or to make happen?
Hi, i am working in new videos but the start up one i think is so clear.
The important think to use this theme is to understand the OVERRIDES FEATURE, this is an advanced one that will give you unlimited possibilities, not like the pages system.Be sure that in default override you publish default widgets(those who will appear always, like menu, responsive menu, logo, copyright ..)
And in custom overrides you can publish widgets that will only appear in THAT OVERRIDE. also for each override you create you can show or not content, change colors, change sidebars…etc
In forum are covered a lot of things to read, also in docu, also in videos, here i am also to help you configure it.
Please send me email to email@example.com if you cannot configure demo site.
just found this http://mimothemes.com/video-docs/
Your help file is awful – I have never been so displeased with any file on Themeforest in my entire 3 years here. Money down the pan! This file is incomplete by a long shot… How it got through quality checking is beyond me. I've e-mailed the author and even on the forums no one is getting a straight answer or fix – what's going on MY SITE IS SCREWED. Thanks for that! Enjoy spending my money.
Hi, thank you for the feedback. I will try to improve documentation. Otherwise i am here to help you.
Best Regards.
How do i get my template to look like the demo.. tried and tried…
you need to import sample data xml file. Do it with Wordpress Importer. Then Import Gantry Options with Gantry export and Import Options Plugin. Then Go to Wordpress Reading settings and configure Home page as home page and Blog page as blog page.
You are done.
Hi there… Can the colour be changed from the blue.. Also noticed complaints about your help documentation… Will it be changed soon accordingly…
Hi, of course the color can be changed. I am working iimproving documentation as well.
Best regards.
Hey, loving this theme as always – just could it be made on something other than Gantry Framework – it slows it down a bit.
Also – when is the next update?
Hi, i am working to finish it, i think maybe 2 or 3 days. also probably including button to load more post in infinite scroll, i think that would solve finally your slow load.
Best Regards.
when we CAN expect the next update?
Hi, sorry for delay, i am stil working on it, including several fixes and features, please don't hesitate, it will be ready soon.
hi can i please have an update on when this update looks like its going to be ready?
Hi, the update is almost ready but i have had a server issue, i am working to solve it and then upload the update. Need some more days to have it online.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hello, I just bought your theme but I don't really understand how all the widget work and where to place them…How can I access the forum for help and documentation ? Are there tutorials anywhere ? Thanks
Good morning,
I am really enjoying this theme. However, I have been searching for one item that I can't seem to find in any of the documentation. Is there a recommended size for the photos so that they grid properly? Mine just doesn't seem to be working quite right. Regards.
Hi, the important thing is to use the same size for all featured images, in demo the size used is 1140×720 px.
Great…. thanks. Another issue I'm having is that when I post something, and set a featured image, for some reason, it slides to a Vimeo video that I haven't added. This is happening on a majority of my posts, and I can't find a setting to turn it off.
Hi, this is an issue i am fixing in 1.6, you need to delete any video field before saving a post.
Update 1.6 will be ready so soon, i will post it here in comments as in Support forum.
Can I get an answer ??? This is really annoying ! I did not buy this theme to not be able to do anything with it !!!! Hello ? How do I get access to the forums and tutorials ? My codes don't seem to work and I have a website to work on ASAP !
Hi, as i see you have not purchased this theme. Maybe another theme?
Best Regards.
no, this is the one I bought. This is the one I'm using on Wordpress and I have an email confirmation of the purchase…How could i be using this theme if I didn't buy it ?
Well, send me an email to firstname.lastname@example.com with your details including purchase code.
done !
I would like to have the demo files installed so the site will look and function just like the demo. Do you charge a fee to install those files on my site?
Please register to the support forum and follow the step by step guide, It is very easy and will take you 5 minutes.
Best Regards.
Where and how do I register for the support forum?
Please go to mimothemes.com and find forum and registration link
Do you have a HTML version of this that isn't wordpress? I'd like to purchase it but use my own CMS for it.
Hi, thank you for your interest. By the moment i haven't coded an HTML Version.
Best Regards.

Another target of Metro vice detectives was arrested today in Pittsburgh. It's an I-Team exclusive involving a professional athlete from Las Vegas.
The suspects name is Richard Seigler. He's a professional football player who, until Thursday morning, was a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Now, he's charged with running a prostitution operation on the streets of Las Vegas.
Seigler attended Chaparral High School and was drafted in 2004 as a linebacker by the San Francisco 49ers. For the past two seasons, he's been a Pittsburgh Steeler wearing number 95. The Steelers web site described him as a powerful tackler with good hands.
However, on the same day that Seigler was arrested in Pittsburgh on a warrant out of Las Vegas, the Steelers announced he was cut from the team's practice squad.
Seigler, wearing number 51 in the file photo from the Las Vegas Bowl a few years ago, became a suspect as Metro vice officers probed a juvenile prostitution case. They found out that Seigler allegedly tried to entice a girl to work as one of his hookers, and then learned that he has other women working for him as escorts in Las Vegas.
Metro Vice Sgt. Gil Shannon told the I-Team Thursday afternoon, "It started in December of 2006. We were conducting a juvenile pandering investigation. Various sources led us to identify the suspect as Richard Seigler. He was trying to get women to work for him. Our initial subject had mentioned prostitution. Through related investigations we found more women here in Las Vegas working as prostitutes."
The warrant for his arrest was signed late last week and other law enforcement agencies have been looking for Seigler, who apparently knew he was the subject of an investigation.
Thursday morning, the Steelers told him he had been cut form the team and also that U.S. Marshals were looking for him. Exactly how the team was tipped off is something Metro would like to know. Law enforcement sources told the I-Team that a Pittsburgh police lieutenant is also the chief of security for the team.
In any case, Seigler faces three felony counts, including pandering and living off the earnings of a prostitute. If convicted, he could face up to ten years.

Ultimate Fighter 13 winner Tony Ferguson has drawn another accomplished veteran for his next in-ring test after disposing of Aaron Riley in prompt fashion last month at UFC 135.
According to an official announcement from the UFC, Ferguson has agreed to face Yves Edwards on December 3 at the Ultimate Fighter 14 Finale as part of a lineup featuring the crowning of bantamweight/featherweight winners as well as a battle between coaches Jason Miller and Michael Bisping.
Ferguson is 2-0 inside the Octagon including his season-winning performance against Ramsey Nijem and stoppage of Riley, a loss brought on after "El Cucuy" broke his jaw rendering Riley unable to compete beyond the bout's opening round. The 27-year old Ferguson holds an overall record of 12-2 including eleven finishes.
Ferguson is TUF 13 Finale's Top Performer
In Edwards he will be facing an opponent with more than 4X his experience who is 3-1 in his last four UFC fights. The "Thugjitsu Master" was last seen stopping Rafaello Oliveira earlier this month at UFC Live 6. The victory marked the 41st of his career with Oliveira joining the likes of Riley, Hermes Franca, Luis Palamino, Rich Clementi, and Josh Thomson in terms of foes Edwards has felled.
No other match-ups have been announced for the card though it is likely a number of the pairings will involve competitors on the current season of TUF.

Maybe it wasn't the equivalent of getting buzzed by a 95-plus fastball, but Pawtucket Red Sox pitcher Alex Wilson was startled when Boston made the decision to convert him from a starter to a reliever.
"Actually, I didn't have an idea," Wilson said of Boston's decision. "Two weeks before spring training ended, I sat down with (general manager) Ben Cherington and (manager) Bobby Valentine and the whole staff. I was told 'You're going to be a starter this year.'
"I was – for three starts. When I got the news that I was going to make that transition, I was very surprised."
And rightfully so considering in three-plus minor league seasons, Wilson had made 68 career starts. But PawSox pitching coach Rich Sauveur surmised why Boston opted to shift the right-hander to the bullpen.
"The reason why it was done like this possibly was it was the way he was going to get to the big leagues at this moment," said Sauveur. "They said 'Let's see what he can do.' That was the only reason. It's not that he was throwing badly. He can start. He can relieve. But right now, it's all about helping the Boston Red Sox win and they wanted to take a look at him out of the bullpen."
And as the saying goes, so far so good.
In his first nine relief appearances, Wilson was 2-0 over 14 2/3 innings. He allowed 15 hits, walked six, struck out 16 and posted a 3.06 ERA.
"It's one of those things where your whole mindset changes," said Wilson. "You have to be ready to pitch every day. When you have four days off, mentally you're not even in the zone sometimes. It's definitely different. You have to be locked in every day.
"For me, that's the biggest part. I don't have a problem getting loose quickly or anything like that. Since I had (Tommy John) surgery (in 2007) I've had zero arm problems. Everything feels great. That part of the transition is very easy for me. The hardest part has been the mental side of it – preparing and being in a different routine," continued Wilson.
"For me, that was the most difficult thing. But now that I've had a few outings out of the pen, it's coming back very quickly."
When Wilson refers to "coming back" it means he's turning the clock back to his senior year at Texas A&M where he did pitch some innings in relief.
"Growing up, I always was a position player as most guys are," said Wilson. "I went to college as a two-way guy and ended up predominantly pitching. But for me, I want to be on the field every day that I can. I just love the competition and love being involved in the game.
"Anything I can do to help out the team, that's what I want to be a part of."
One reason Wilson may be successful as a reliever is it doesn't take him 50-odd pitches to get ready while he's warming up.
"He's been able to get ready very, very fast – faster than a lot of guys," said Sauveur. "He already knows about how long it takes him to get ready. He did that in college which wasn't that long ago. That's a plus. I put in the reports that he can get ready in a hurry. That's always going to be a plus for him."
In recent years, Wilson's career has been a series of plusses:
- He was named Boston's 2011 Minor League Pitcher of the year after leading all of Boston's full-season minor league pitchers with a 3.11 ERA in a combined 25 starts between Portland (21) and Pawtucket (four).
- After he was promoted last year to Pawtucket on August 16, he later was voted Portland's Pitcher of the Year plus an Eastern League All-Star.
- Wilson was rated as Boston's No. 11 prospect by Baseball America and its No. 14 prospect by Diehard.
- Baseball America rates him as having the best fastball (93-to-96) and the best slider (82-to-85) in Boston's farm systems.
"I've always been a fastball-slider guy," said Wilson. "That's been my bread and butter since I was 16 years old so being in the pen plays very well into my repertoire.
"I'm very comfortable starting. But I'm almost to the point where I'm extremely comfortable coming out of the pen. I think I can do both at the next level. It's just trying to battle my way to get that chance. We'll see how it goes this year."
The fact Wilson has more than two pitches is one reason why Sauveur feels he can fill more than one role.
"With four pitches, he's going to be able to start," said Sauveur. "As a reliever, having that fourth pitch (a curveball) is going to be a bonus. But I like what I see of him coming out of the pen."
What Wilson considers his third pitch also factors into his being a versatile pitcher.
"I have a third pitch, a changeup, which I'm not afraid to throw at any time," he said. "It allows me to eat some innings. I think I can be a vital aspect for any team – whether it's here or in Boston, eating innings, starting or relieving."
Arguably the next question is if Wilson remains in the bullpen, might he remain a multi-innings reliever or might he eventually morph into a closer?
"I think I could fit very well into either role," he said. "It's just one of those things where, right now, I'm going to do whatever I can to get myself to the next level.As the years go on, I definitely can see myself being pushed farther and farther back into the later innings. I do throw pretty hard. I have two main pitches that are classified as power stuff and I think that plays well into the end of games."
Sauveur expressed the opinion that Wilson has the qualities to be not only a middle reliever but also a closer.
"I said to somebody recently that I saw (the since-traded) Michael Bowden as a starter and as a reliever," said Sauveur. "To me, all along I thought he was a reliever. He wanted the ball every day.
"I think Alex has the same attitude but there's something more there. I think he also could start in the big leagues. But he has the attitude of 'Just go get 'em.' In don't think he's going to have any problems whatsoever in either part of the game.
"Does he have the attitude to close?" queried Sauveur. "Most definitely. Can he be a setup guy? Most definitely. Can he be a long man? Most definitely. Can he start? He's done that. It's just a matter of time before you can read what kind of role he'll have."

Go ahead, laugh.
It's an understandable reaction, considering that Southern Nevada is in the midst of a theatrical throw-down involving some of the funniest musical comedies of all time.
Recent contenders range from "The Book of Mormon" at The Smith Center to Super Summer Theatre's "Spamalot" at Spring Mountain Ranch, where the musical comedy cavalcade launched last season with "The Producers."
And speaking of Super Summer Theatre, its upcoming "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum" — which begins a 12-performance run Wednesday at Spring Mountain Ranch State Park — may be the most uproarious of all.
At least when you consider how long it's kept audiences laughing.
Consider the fact that it's been more than 50 years since "Forum" first hit the Broadway stage, where it racked up six Tony Awards — including best musical.
But it's been centuries — make that millennia — since audiences began cracking up at "Forum's" source material, the farces of Roman playwright Plautus, who died in 183 B.C.
Of course, "Forum's" book writers, the late Larry Gelbart (whose credits include the Emmy-winning "M*A*S*H" and the Oscar-winning "Tootsie") and Burt Shevelove, made a few changes along the way.
But the essentials remain, according to "Forum" director-choreographer Tim Bennett, who cites the show's "very classic, old-fashioned comedy."
To quote "Forum's" equally classic opening number, "Comedy Tonight," from the pen of composer Stephen Sondheim, audiences can expect "something familiar, something peculiar, something for everyone — a comedy tonight!"
And "Forum's" comedy differs from other recently seen in Vegas "superfunny" musicals, Bennett says.
" 'Book of Mormon' is so edgy-funny," he says, while "The Producers" and "Spamalot" not only reflect "contemporary" humor but bear the stamp of their distinctive comedic creators: Mel Brooks and Monty Python, respectively.
"Forum," by contrast, combines ancient farcical elements — from fast-paced chases to mistaken identity — with humor that dates to 20th-century vaudeville. (Even the show's title spoofs a favorite vaudeville-era opening line: "A funny thing happened on the way to the theater … ")
As "Comedy Tonight" promises, "Nothing with kings, nothing with crowns — bring on the lovers, liars and clowns!"
Not to mention "pantaloons and tunics, courtesans and eunuchs, funerals and chases, baritones and basses." Along with "Stunning surprises! Cunning disguises!" And, lest we forget: "Panderers! Philanderers! Cupidity! Timidity! Mistakes! Fakes! Rhymes! Crimes! Tumblers, grumblers, bumblers, fumblers."
The musical's antic action centers on the wily Roman slave Pseudolus (played by Bruce Block), who attempts to win his freedom by helping his young master Hero (Cory Lloyd) win the hand of Philia (Celina Speights), the virginal girl next door.
Alas, the house next door belongs to Marcus Lycus (John Wennstrom), a buyer and seller of beautiful women. Even worse, Philia has been promised to the mighty Miles Gloriosus (Carnell Johnson), a warrior who's on his way to Rome to claim her.
Also in on the frantic farce: Senex (James Claflin), Hero's father and Pseudolus' boss, a henpecked Roman senator; Erronius (Jack Walczak), an elderly neighbor searching for his children (who were kidnapped in infancy — by pirates); Domina (Terri Gandy), Senex's domineering wife; and Hysterium (Stephen Rinck), Senex's chief slave.
For all of the rollicking physical comedy they get into, Sondheim's "Forum" score — his first as both composer and lyricist, after contributing lyrics to the legendary "West Side Story" and "Gypsy" — adds more than a bit of wit to the madcap proceedings.
Sondheim has since created his own Broadway legend, taking musicals in challenging new directions with such works as "Company" and "Sweeney Todd."
By contrast, "Forum" is "so opposite of what we think of as Sondheim material — it's belly laughs and gut reactions and physical humor," Bennett points out. Yet, "one of the most brilliant things about Sondheim is, he writes lyrics the way people talk. The rhythm and style in his lyrics is still there."
Consider the sprightly "Everybody Ought to Have a Maid," in which Senex, Pseudolus, Marcus Lycus and Hysterium extol the virtues of feminine household help:
"Everybody ought to have a maid, everybody ought to have a menial, consistently congenial and quieter than a mouse. Oh, oh, wouldn't she be delicious, tidying up the dishes, neat as a pin. Oh, oh, wouldn't she be delightful, sweeping out — sleeping in."
Audiences of a certain age will appreciate the slyly risque references, but "there's nothing in there that is so specific it won't go over the heads of kids," Bennett says. "It's the same thing with the courtesans — kids can appreciate guys ogling pretty women."
And unlike some Super Summer Theatre productions, where "subtlety can be lost" at the expansive Spring Mountain Ranch setting, "there's nothing subtle" about "Forum," the director points out. With all "the chases and the people in and out of doors," the show's frantic farce "carries over," even to the faraway back row.
Overall, Bennett "can't imagine a person on Earth who wouldn't enjoy" this particular musical comedy, with the accent on the comedy.
He's been eager to direct it every since he first saw it — "mostly because it was so much fun to watch," Bennett says. "I was laughing until I was crying, from beginning to end."
And all these years later, now that he knows the show by heart, "I still sit there in rehearsal and laugh till I cry."
Come Wednesday, Super Summer Theatre audiences will have the chance to follow his lead.

This just leaked from NCAA Headquarters....
"After a very lengthy, albeit not not very penetrating, investigation, we reluctantly announce the severe 'Death Penalty' against the Southern California football oligarchy.
"As is well known on the Internet (but not to the Los Angeles Times), the USC Trojan football program has been point and center in an impressive list of scandals. We refer you to the Bruins Nation's Menelaus file, too large for us to reproduce here.
"We specifically acknowledge that Reggie Bush was accorded extra benefits far in excess of those normally lavished on USC's so-called student athletes. Our judgment is that Mr. Bush has suffered enough through his association with the Kardashian family, so he may retain his ill-gotten Heisman trophy.
"We further acknowledge the zero degrees Kelvin institutional control by President Sample, Athletic Director Garrett, and Chief Ethicist Senora Ross. Our judgment is that everything that happened was the work of one man with nice hair, who has been removed from all university activities (granted, with an eye-opening severance package and a promise not to talk). We refer, of course, to Mr. Tim Floyd. We direct you to the Bruins Nation documentary, "The Sound of SCilence" for further details.
"Finally, we acknowledge the many contributions to bottom-line NCAA revenues gushing from a non-regulated Trojan program. This, in concert with the college's enviable relationship with local law enforcement personnel and the exemplary role-model behavior of the head coach, Mr. Pete Cheat Carroll, results in the following unprecedented sanctions:
"1. Because their behavior is reminiscent of Delta House, they are placed on double-secret probation.
"2. Because they have a poor defense and an untried quarterback and have no chance of making the BCS championship game or even a Rose Bowl berth against a laughable Big Ten team, for this year only the University is banned from post-season play. We understand this will cause great suffering among alumni who would normally flock to the Poinsettia Bowl, Bell Helicopters Armed Forces Bowl, or Chick-fil-A Bowl.
".3 Because they must now compete for academically-challenged recruits against Lane Kiffin and Steve Sarkisian, they are given the additional handicap of losing one scholarship each year through the rest of this decade (i.e., 2010). Please note that as part of the nation's Stimulus Bill, it is acceptable and encouraged for the University to hire marginally-qualified employees whose sons may play varsity without counting against scholarship limits.
"We understand that these egregious sanctions may cause some embarrassment among other schools who have received more lenient treatment in past years (such as forfeiting games). By pounding Southern California as we have, we trust that others who might consider behaving similarly will be fully deterred."

Airline Deals Boost JetBlue Growth
(JetBlue story updated with closing stock price and March traffic numbers)
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- In trying to pick the biggest winners in the current round of airline industry deal-making, JetBlue (JBLU) should not be overlooked.
In the 10 years since the airline began flying, JetBlue has made itself the biggest domestic airline at two key Northeast airports, New York Kennedy and Boston Logan. Now the iconoclastic carrier is moving aggressively to operate and expand at Washington Reagan National airport, the most convenient airport in the nation's capital and arguably in the entire country, given its proximity to mass transit.
Investors took notice of the carrier Tuesday, when it reported that March revenue per available seat mile rose 17%. Shares in JetBlue closed Tuesday at $6.35, up 47 cents or about 8%.Currently, two major deals are underway in the airline industry, both offering side benefits for JetBlue. Last month, after regulators objected to a slot swap proposed by Delta (DAL) and US Airways (LCC), the two carriers offered to divest some slots at National and New York LaGuardia to four low-fare carriers. The group includes JetBlue, which would get nine slots at National. Slots are assigned takeoff and landing times, necessary to operate at congested airports. Also last month, American (AMR) and JetBlue announced they would team up at Kennedy, enabling travelers to connect between JetBlue domestic flights and American international flights. JetBlue also exchanged Kennedy slots for eight slot pairs at National, where it plans to offer eight daily departures starting in November. A few other plusses for JetBlue: Passengers could connect between American and JetBlue flights at Logan. JetBlue announced it has petitioned the Federal Aviation Administration for access to unused slots at National in the early evening and late evening; with a single slot to augment the nine slots it would get from US Airways, it could offer five daily round-trip flights. Additionally, following a Oneworld board meeting last week in Los Angeles, American CEO Gerard Arpey said he "wouldn't be surprised to see many of [the Oneworld] partners talking to JetBlue as well." These moves could enhance JetBlue revenue without adding significant costs. Of course, the airline industry is currently focused on other merger possibilities, and here again JetBlue could emerge a winner. If United (UAUA) does merge with US Airways, it is likely that regulators would require divestiture at National, since the two carriers have dominant positions at both Washington airports. United operates a hub at Dulles, while US Airways operates 47% of the seat capacity at National, a share that would increase if the slot trade with Delta is approved.

Riva 1920 is passionate about working with solid wood - so it's no wonder that the Fiore and Delta stools designed by Karim Rashid were quickly swept up by the brand. Both stools are fun and unconventional with loads of personality. Both are made from solid cedar wood. Fiore clearly resembles a flower, each outer unit reminding us of a petal. Delta can remind us of many things, one being change due to its random shape, another could it be its vague reference to triangles or maybe a split of some kind, if we're considering its name, that is. Either way, these stools boast highly original designs. They make great accent pieces that are not only good for sitting on, but that could also warm a space and instill intrigue. Find out more at Riva1920.

A 17-year-old Nashville high school student is already an award-winning filmmaker, and now his animated monster movie has been nominated by Cheekwood as a finalist for its highest honor, an American Vision Award.
The five-minute movie 'In the Shadow of Monsters' may look silly on the surface, but it says a lot about the creator, Isaac Friedman, a junior at Hume-Fogg High School. When he puts his mind to something, he's all in.
"I spend half my free time doing this, the other half playing video games or writing, something like that," Friedman said.
His movie was created on his computer and is the result of hours of work. The drawings, the music and the design are all his.
"I have fun playing around with monsters and seeing where I can go with the anatomy, and try not to make it too cartoony, which, of course, is hard, because it is after all a cartoon," he said.
All of it was sparked in a classroom of creativity at Hume-Fogg called advanced studio art, where students paint or take photos and basically are asked to compose something from nothing.
The class is the one each day at school where there aren't actual right or wrong answers. Much like life after school, it's all up to you.
"It can be daunting for them to really have to make your own choices, and this is an example of him making every choice," said art teacher Shayna Snider.
Snider knows the movie is fun and entertaining, but it's the effort and the problem-solving faced along the way that makes what everyone does in her class an educational stepping stone to the real world.
"Exactly. And it's epic, and he did all of it," Snider said.
The award has the student already working on next year's competition.
"Little less silly. It can be a bit gruesome at times," Friedman said.
If you think Friedman and his fellow art students are just frittering away their free time, it really isn't so. He has made visits to seven colleges across the country, including several of the finest math, engineering and critical-thinking schools in the United States.

Erlanger, KY , August 19, 2011—TV One will be featuring their new C3-340 Series CORIO®matrix at IBC 2011, which will be held in Amsterdam on September 9th-13th,
The new C3-340 offers an industry first firmware based video routing, switching and video conversion platform. 16 AV universal module slots are available and the CORIO®matrix automatically recognizes the modules inserted as an input or output module. There is no dedicated input or output slots when using 2-Channel DVI-U or 3G-SDI modules. It can be configured up to 32 I/O combinations using 3G-SDI/DVI-U connection combinations and up to 64 I/O's are possible utilizing only HD-SDI modules. This flexibility allows end user configurations to be based on their own needs instead of the router forcing a certain setup and limited configuration. Additional DVI-U or 3G-SDI modules can be added later in open slots without having to re-set the router. All AV modules are hot swappable and recognized for immediate auto configuration.
The CORIO®matrix also provides Up, Down and Cross conversion between a variety of analog and digital video formats thru 3G-SDI. The modules selected determine what format will be accommodated and the matrix size. Signal parameters of the incoming video may be adjusted. All settings are stored in nonvolatile memory and are retained even when power is switched off. User defined presets are also available to customize settings for various applications.
All the functions can be controlled via serial connection via RS-232/422/485, USB or IP. Windows software is provided. A front panel LCD option makes direct setup easy. Third party controllers permit a wide choice of control options. The unit is housed in a standard 4RU rackmount case and features an optional redundant hot swappable internal PSU and power inlet.
The new C3-340 CORIO®matrix is part of the huge variety of product offerings from the CORIO®2 & CORIO®3 Technology ranges and will be on demonstration and display at the IBC 2011 Exhibition.

Breezy and fun, there are several reasons to sample "Emily," but also plenty of room for skepticism over whether this witty half-hour has the depth to survive a highly competitive timeslot.
You hope the show doesn't get stuck in sexual shenanigans week after week. Even 30-year-olds think about other things sometimes. But for now, it seems fair to follow Emily's lead and see what develops.
It also helps that Heather Graham as Emily is so appealing that it often distracts from the fanciful idiocy of what she's saying or doing.
Breezily prefabricated sitcom humor that lacks the fresh zing of anything remotely original.
This ABC sitcom strives for edgy sophistication, but the characters come off as superficial and mean.

The shooting death of a University High School teacher and her husband Monday night has been ruled a murder-suicide. Evidence indicates the husband shot and killed his wife before killing himself.
The two dead bodies were found in a truck at the intersection of Old Robinson Road and Loop 340. Robinson Police Department received a call at 6:40pm on Monday about a male bleeding inside a white 2010 Chevrolet pick up truck.
Authorities responded to investigate and found 48-year-old Stancel Howard Price Jr. and 48-year-old Nancy Ann Price dead inside the truck with gunshot wounds to the head.
Justice of the Peace Kristi DeCluitt pronounced the male and female dead around 7:30pm. Both the bodies have been sent to Southwestern Institute of Forensic Science in Dallas for autopsies.
Nancy Price was a math teacher at University High School in Waco for nine years. She joined Waco ISD in August of 1998. She taught two years at University Middle School and four years at Cesar Chavez Middle School also.
In 2011-2012, Price was named University High's Outstanding Teacher.
University High Principal Bill Shepard said in a statement, "Just three days ago we were on top of the world having won a state championship in soccer, now we are experiencing the effects of an awful tragedy. Our hearts go out to Coach Price's two sons and other immediate family members. The Trojan nation is heartbroken. "
The case is under investigation.

Beautiful looking car for sure! Do all concepts have to have gull-wing doors? It is some sort of unwritten rule?
Ford Evos Plug-In Hybrid Concept to Make US Debut in January
Ford introduced the world to its Evos Concept
at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show. The Evos is powered by a lithium-ion-based, plug-in powertrain that ultimately delivers the same sort of fuel economy as the Ford C-Max Energi that's scheduled to arrive in the US in 2012.
As a design study, the Evos will likely influence the look of the automaker's production vehicles in the near future. The sexy design of the Evos is described by Ford's design guru J Mays as "not to provoke, but to seduce." As we reported in September, the appeal of the Evos concept was more about car connectivity than the plug-in drivetrain or the shape of the sheet metal. For example, the car is supposed to do some wild things, like adjusting the way it drives based on the specific driver's profile, map and weather data, and other info supplied by data pulled down from the cloud. The car will also do you the favor of reading your text messages as they come in.
Given its geekiness, it's not surprising that the Ford Evos will make its first appearance in North America as the centerpiece of the automaker's display at the 2012 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas in January of 2012.
The sleek silhouette of the Evos could command Ford's design for its increasingly electric product line. The Evos also hints toward what's coming down the Ford's pipeline for interior design. As Ford states, "A stylish and innovative cockpit promises new levels of driver interaction" and the interior design features "clean and simple surfaces, with a muscular, athletic" style.

Hey guys,
I will no longer be using this blog anymore. Please check out & follow me on my new blog:
See ya!
A Pop of Neon
Jacket - Mackage / Scarf - Wilfred / Dress - Wilfred Free / Boots - The Bay
I finally got around to cleaning, rearranging and making my room look all pretty! As you can see, I am a huge fan of lights! Room tour anyone? ;)
I sincerely apologize from the bottom of my heart that I haven't made a youtube video in so long. Since December 2012, I have been facing a lot of stress and personal issues and just recently I've been recovering from this whole mess. I don't want to tell you guys any details, but it started around boxing day when I became very sick. I'm all better now but there have been some other personal issues that needed to be dealt. And on top I have school (as usual), work, sports and many other extra curricular activities.
It's "Reading" (aka spring) break for (some) university students, including myself. So I hope to start making videos again. I realized it was a great outlet to release my inner 'girlyness' and creativity in me.
But first on my reading break list is: Remodeling by room.
With that being said.. get ready for a room tour soon.
I'll probably be hosting a giveaway soon because I recently hit 11 000+ subscribers so one of you guys will be lucky enough to win something - and it's also an apologetic giveaway.
I hope you understand, and I will see you soon! Well.. you guys will see me soon, ha.
My Christmas Wish List for 2012
I know, it's a lot of 'basic' things, but I'm the type to be really into neutral things (I know, boring! Haha). I am either going to ask my boyfriend to get one of these things - most likely the herschel bag. And since I am going to be working a lot during the holidays, I guess I'll be saving up for these items!
1. Pearl blazer jacket - Topshop
2. 'Thomen' backpack - Herschel
3. Wedge sneakers in black - Topshop
4. 'Nuckols' booties - Jeffrey Campbell
5. 'Ahrendes' rain boots - Hunter
6. 'Alexa' studded calfskin leather bag - Bag inc.
What's on your Christmas wish list this year?

Twelve people have been displaced by a fire swept through their apartment building in downtown Manchester.
The fire on Green Street broke out just after 10 p.m. Tuesday.
District Chief Mark Pelletier says the flames grew more intense after crews arrived. He called the fire the most stubborn he's ever seen in his 30 years with Manchester's fire department.
Crews say the icy conditions made their firefight tricky.
Fire crews don't know yet what started the fire.

The History of Palm Mortuary
For more than 80 years, Palm Mortuary has served the needs of families in Las Vegas and the surrounding area. Palm's history begins in 1926, when Gene and Anna Parks opened the original Palm Mortuary location at First Street and Carson Avenue, near the current location of the Golden Nugget.
In 1946, Jerry Woodbury and Don DeVoe purchased the mortuary from the Parks family. In 1957, Palm Mortuary's headquarters was opened at 1325 North Main Street, the same site as its current main location.
The following year, in 1958, Palm built Southern Nevada's first mausoleum, The Building of Eternity. One year later, Charles Knauss became the major stockholder. Planning for the future growth within Southern Nevada, Palm purchased 20 acres in Henderson for a combination mortuary and cemetery, which opened in 1964. In 1967, H. E. Burton joined Palm and established the advance planning program.
Continued growth in the Valley led to the opening of Palm Green Valley Memorial Park in 1972. A new mortuary was unveiled on the property in February 1979. Palm's Boulder City Mausoleum was opened in 1983 on 12 acres. In 1986, Flowers by Palm was renamed Flower Fair and a new freestanding florist location was added at Oakey and South Jones Boulevard. In 1987, Palm opened its mortuary at South Jones Boulevard.
In response to the growth in the Northwest part of the Valley, Palm Cheyenne Mortuary opened its doors in March 1994. Soon thereafter, in July 1998, Palm Memorial Park - Northwest opened on 40 acres at Jones Boulevard and Deer Springs Road. The mortuary opened its doors at that location in 2005.
In December of 2009, Palm Mortuary, Inc. was purchased by an affiliate of Service Corporation International. We are now a member of the Dignity Memorial® network of funeral, cremation and cemetery service providers, offering quality, value, caring service and exceptional customer satisfaction.

Palm Mortuaries, Cemeteries and Crematories provide caring and thoughtful service to thousands of Southern Nevada families each year. To find our locations, click here.

It's hysterical when a Wings fan has a meltdown.
Overrated team's crybaby fan has a meltdown because he's finally realizing that their goaltending isn't good enough to make it through the playoffs. Excuse me as I pour out a 40 for them. Check out this exerpt: Have a Fresca and deal with this: With 14 games left, the Detroit Red Wings have no idea who their starting goalie is going to be. Oh and you just shut your whore mouth if you want to sit there and tell me it's going to be a home/away rotation. I don't care what Uncle Mike is saying or what Digger is believing it. It won't happen because it wouldn't work. "So, umm, Ozzie. We dig you and you're our starter...but only on the road because we don't have confidence you'll win at the Joe so you go ahead and trot your happy ass out there for Game 3. See you in a few days. Meanwhile...Conk, you big bastard. You're our starter. At home. Not on the road. Not quite sure you can hack it. So get out there. Get out there and win those first two because I'm sitting your ass when we take this thing to Dallas." It makes no difference. Really. It makes no motherfu**ing difference because...honestly?....neither goalie is good enough. That's that. And that's all. Neither one. You know. I dig Malik. I do. But holy mother of fu**....this? Sad.

The fulcrum is a moveable wheel that sits underneath the mid-point of a springboard diving board, allowing a diver to adjust the amount of spring they receive. The rear of the diving board is fixed to the diving stand, so as weight is applied to the tip end of the board, the board will flex from the point at which the fulcrum sits.
As the fulcrum is moved backward, the diver will receive more spring. As the fulcrum is moved forward, the board will flex less and the diver will receive less spring.
Divers learn through practice how to adjust the wheel to get the maximum amount of spring depending on their weight, and whether they are using a forward or backward takeoff.

Big Board Promises Not To Get Rid Of Trading Floor As It Crafts Plan To Let It Get Rid Of Trading FloorBy Jon Shazar
Hurricane Sandy claimed many victims. Will the New York Stock Exchange's floor traders be among them?
The Big Board doesn't like to close, even for the worst natural disaster to hit its hometown in recent memory, one that destroyed the certificates nominally traded on its floor even if didn't flood NYSE's own basement. So it's drawing up plans to avoid having to during the next catastrophe. And that plan doesn't involve open-outcry trading.
Of course, NYSE says it will never give up its two-century-plus old system. But it will be making those floor traders potentially redundant. And it's never good to be the last of any legacy business. Read more »
The IntercontinentalExchange really, really wants the Liffe. Oh yea, and the New York Stock Exchange, too. Sure. But it's really, really worried that those damned antitrust bureaucrats are going to screw them, as they are wont to do.

Exchange Follies: Consolidated Tape EditionBy Jon Shazar
Just weeks after telling Congress that doing their jobs has become too damned hard, the stock exchanges are providing more evidence.
This time, the problem is the consolidated tape, which provides trade data. Seems it went out for about an hour at the New York Stock Exchange yesterday, making it tough to see in anyone had traded in 165 unimportant securities like State Street Corp. stock. And NYSE's snafu follows a consolidated tape screw-up at Nasdaq last week; while NYSE's server error only messed with some of its stocks, Nasdaq's consolidated tape feed went totally blank on Thursday.

Everyone knows what went down regarding UFC 143. I'm not going to talk about the main event, or the matchups that might happen in the wake of it. I want to talk about the things coming out of the show that I personally found interesting...but the rest of the MMA community must simply disagree. Regardless, I think these points deserve a little more attention.
1. The new UFC opening was AWESOME! - That was a very interesting thing they did, snapping footage and clips from noteworthy fights and compositing them into an entirely new background. It was essentially retroactive blue-screen work, for those who know a thing or two about movies.
All in all, the music and overall look and feel of the new opening was quite slick...I liked it and it's a huge improvement over the gladiator rubbing dirt on his hands while the outdated choir plays in the background.
2. Stephen Thompson - Yes, it's never cool to overhype any prospect, but 28 year old(I think he's 28) Stephen Thompson isn't really a full blown rookie or a run of the mill prospect when it comes to comebat sports in general. He had a long amateur and professional kickboxing career preceding his MMA debut.
But the most compelling thing about him is that he is 100% utterly and completely undefeated. He is not just unbeaten in MMA, he went 57-0 between ammy and pro kickboxing(I believe the breakdown is 37 wins as an amateur and 20 wins as a professional)...I mean, to have that many fights and to have never slipped up, been caught, had an off night, or been screwed by judges...it's pretty crazy. To be a young guy, that's a hell of an aura to have.
3. Renan Barao - His performance on Saturday may have been more measured and clinical against the always game Jorgensen, but he was still Barao's highest ranked opponent to date. But more importantly, the Baron is making history with every win. For starters, he has the longest current undefeated streak of any active MMA fighter with 28 wins(Hector Lombard is a close second on a 25 fight unbeaten streak). On top of that, at 25, he already has the 4th longest winning streak in ALL of MMA history.
His current unbeaten streak is longer than Fedor's was(he past him on Saturday)...and with one more win, he'll be tied for the 3rd longest unbeaten streak of all time. This guy could retire right now and he would still have a place in the history books for a while...because lets face it, this type of winning streak is rare.
Other things that caught my attention included the fact that Starks was not trucked by Herman at all...even though almost everyone thought he would be. He more than held his own. Max Holloway was also a very game opponent, and at 20 years old, he's got a bright future. I think Pierce deserved the decision and I hope he can put a good streak together following this.
I don't think it was fair to go from a warning for the first groin shot to taking 2 points away after the next groin shot. That seemed excessive. Just toshing this out there, but I'd like to see Werdum vs Mir in a #1 contender match to ensure that one of them will lose their next fight...I'm not a fan of either guy.
Well...that is all.

Ever wonder what it's like to be in outer space?
Some Siouxland students don't have to wonder anymore.
For astronauts, it was just another day in space.
"You are in a place now where there is no up and down."
But for students, Thursday was anything but ordinary.
"Was there anything you were not prepared for when you first went to space?"
Thanks to webcast technology Ridge View High School students in Holstein, Iowa, along with 23 other schools across the nation, had the opportunity to ask one question for NASA astronauts, a couple of which were aboard the International Space Station.
"Our question was, what do you think of the Students Space Flight Experiments program and how does it help students," said Dana Hustedt, Senior.
Seniors Dana Hustedt and Gretchen Kistenmacher went through that program firsthand.
This summer, they traveled to Washington DC's National Air and Space Museum.
Thursday, they got to see it again.
"It was really cool to see them back there and talk to them and then also get to see the astronauts in space," said Gretchen Kistenmacher, senior.
Questions from other schools included whether there was a "time limit" for astronauts in space, how they avoid space debris, and how life is different in space than on earth.
"Your blood pressure just naturally increases in your head because it doesn't have to pump against gravity anymore."
Astronauts also did some "showing off" too, with tricks you can only on a space ship.
But their main message was universal.
"You can do anything, and just, you're going to have failures along your path, but just take those failures and they'll open new doors for you, and just continue to dream," said Kistenmacher.
Students from OABCIG High School, in nearby Ida Grove, also took part in today's webcast.

Angry Birds GO!, the anticipated Mario Kart look-alike, well at least we would like to think so will be arriving on December 11 this year. Right in time for the holidays, but just like most of the Angry Birds titles, the game will be free with features like "high-octane downhill racing, upgradable karts, tons of characters with unique special powers and a fully rendered 3D world."
You can see the game-play trailer below and see why we say it is a Mario Kart look-alike, because it has better graphics, the ability to upgrade karts and/or super powers. and supposedly at least 12 different characters to choose from.

Cory Wiergowski recently moved out of Long Beach after a short stint but made the most out of his stay, killing the streets with filmer Zach Krejmas. The new Sunday edit is entitled "For The Homies" and to coincide with the video's release, Sunday is releasing a Detroit-inspired kit to go along with it.
Cory Wiergowski sending this one out to the homies! Cory's been on fire this year, so to honor his hard work we created the For The Homies Kit which includes a Detroit Tigers inspired beanie and a Tee with Detroit's skyline on it. Both are available HERE at the Sunday webstore or at www.albes.com. The last move is nuts! Filmed & edited by Zach Krejmas.
