It's no secret you're conscientious, and like to get to the essence of a situation. These last months have given you ample time to sift and sort, organize, and resolve pain from the past. The currents of resolving continue with Mercury -- your ruler -- in direct shadow through to the 18th.
The first weeks of January can be super productive, because you're clearer of mind, body and spirit. You're more philosophical about upsets, and so waste less time on them. It's possible in this time to see with compassion, many of your most trying traits. You can see how expectations from society dovetail with your own demanding nature, and any treadmills this puts you on.
The 17th of January is a day to be on star watch -- as one for resounding truths. Mercury aligns with Pluto that day, to expose and illuminate the shadows. What you learn can seem monumental, and enable you to make solid decisions about the biggies of life (job, where to live, sustenance)."The greatest oak was once a little nut who held its ground." Anonymous
This quote describes your tenacity, once you find something worthy of your devotion. Experiment this month, and stay alert to ideas that you might've thought too crazy before. Being able to trust your discernment is key. You'll find stability in following what feels right instinctively.
Venus is in fiery Sagittarius starting the 7th, to boost lagging spirits and get you moving. If you're not finding kindred spirits nearby, look further afield, and say hello to someone in another land. A great time to plan travel, or ally with foreign nationals.
Your built-in practical outlook serves you well when Jupiter goes into Aries on the 22nd. There's little chance you'll go off half-cocked, but you may have to move quicker than what's comfortable for you. This takes you beyond your comfort zone, so get used to feeling at your edge. It's a taste of what's to come, with the quickener Uranus moving into Aries in March.
Practice trusting yourself, in the moment, so you'll be ready when opportunity knocks at your door. Hone your vision, to know what's in line with your heart and what's not. Stick close to those that you trust to be champions of your dreams. Clear out any bad habits of criticism, in yourself or others, in these heady, contemplative days of January.

Breckenridge Plans For Peak 6 Take Step Forward (19-Jun-11)
Expansion plans by Breckenridge in Colorado...
Expansion plans by Breckenridge in Colorado, one of the most popular ski resorts in US and the top US destination for British skiers, have been given the initial go ahead by the US Forest service which controls the land where new lifts and runs would be installed.
Breckenridge, one of the six ski areas owned by Vail Resorts, aims to add 550 acres of terrain on Peak 6. Served by a new six-seater chairlift it would include a mixture of intermediate and advanced level terrain, a mix of groomed and ungroomed slopes and some terrain accessed by the new lift, some that will need to be hiked up to. There would be up to 12 new runs and full proposals are at www.breckenridgepeak6.com
The expansion plans have been moving forward for several years and the latest development is the publication of an Environmental Assessment document which is now open to public consultation for the next 45 days. If the process moves ahead without any delays the earliest that the expansion is likely to take place would be the 2012-13 season.

Club Med
(FORTUNE Magazine) – After reporting a $63 million loss for last year, Philippe Bourguignon, CEO of the French resort group, blamed the Sept. 11 attacks and warned investors that it'll be paradise lost for a while. If Bourguignon fails to fix Club Med soon, he could be in for an extended vacation of his own.

Ellen Camhi, 73, former Stamford Democratic City Committee Chairwoman, passed away Tuesday, February 26, 2013.
On Friday, February 25, 2011, Governor Dannel P. Malloy appointed Camhi to serve as a member of the State Board of Education. Camhi began her career in the field of public education as an elementary school teacher in New York and Connecticut.
Governor Dannel P. Malloy this afternoon released the following statements on the passing of Ellen Camhi:
"Ellen Camhi was a dear friend of mine who tirelessly dedicated herself to her community and to public service. She had charisma and was a passionate leader with character and vision," Malloy said. "Her impact was profound – she served as a mentor to me and inspired my career in public service, in addition to that of Supreme Court Justice Andrew McDonald, Attorney General George Jepsen and U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal, along with countless others. There's no doubt that she will be missed by many. Cathy and I send our heartfelt condolences to her family and all of her friends in the Stamford community."
Camhi became active in Stamford politics in 1970, when drafted by a group of community parents to run for the Stamford Board of Education. She was elected to four terms on that Board including a term of President. Following the School Board, in 1983 Camhi was elected as chair of the Stamford Democratic City Committee, a position she has held for 28 years.
Camhi united the Party, grew its membership and assembled a formidable political organization that won innumerable elections. She promoted the careers of an impressive array of political figures, culminating in the election of former Stamford Mayor Dannel P. Malloy as Governor, former Stamford State Senator Richard Blumenthal as United States Senator, and former Stamford State Senator George Jepsen as Attorney General.
Andrew McDonald, the former State Senator, was appointed as Counsel to the Governor and saw longtime Democratic State Legislator, Carlo Leone, elected to the State Senate.
"She's a legend around here, she's the one who put the party together in the 60s and 70s. She took over the Democratic party and it completely changed the city of Stamford," said John Mallozzi, current chairman of the DCC. "She molded a number of young up-and-comers into leaders. She's someone who really helped shape Stamford in that way. I will miss her. She's done a great number of things for the city and the party."
Mallozzi said strong educational institutions in Stamford were always something which Camhi considered a priority. He said she supported strong schools, which would lead to a strong work force and a strong society.
Jerry Pia, former RTC chairman and current member of the Stamford Board of Education, called her a mentor, one of his biggest supporters and one of his best friends. He said she loved her husband and two boys and all her grandchildren.
"She was one of the biggest proponents for education this city has ever seen," Pia said. "I knew her for 40 years. When I got involved with the board of education, we became friends right away. One of the first things she ever told me was we need to learn to agree to disagree. It was such a nice way to operate."
Pia said she was as big a supporter of education on the city board as off, and would eventually have an impact on state and national committes for education or political movements. He joked about their strong friendship in spite of differing political views.
"I would be there working the PA as she opened Democratic Headquarters," he said. "I was at more Democratic parties than most democrats because of her."
Lt. Gov. Nancy Wyman also weighed in on the loss.
"Ellen was always a lot of fun but she was also a true leader," Wyman said. "What I really admired about her was that she spoke up for what she believed in and she truly cared about people – especially her family."
[An erroneous date from an earlier story on Ellen Camhi has been remedied.]

CATEGORIES Sports, Video, Animals, Weird StuffWhen we saw this skateboarding turtle, our first thought was that our dreams of sharing pizza with Xtreme Nnja Turtles was finally a reality.
Sadly, it turns out this sham-phibian is bound to his board by string. The cat seems pretty interested, though, which us thinking: What animals do like to skate? Read on to find out more. Sadly, if you look up "skateboarding cat" on YouTube, you'll get a bunch of bored kitties patiently gliding across the room under their owners' power.
It turns out a lot of animals need help to thrash. Like this bunny. It's almost as if Usagi Slow-jimbo here has no interest in gleaming the cube. (We're kind of sticking with an '80s theme here.)
Even this owl, generally regarded as one of the cooler birds, has only a casual interest in the sport. It turns out owls are only interested in two things: mice and magic.
The most famous skating bird ever was Gordo the parrot, of whom no videos exist. Sadly, Gordo was birdnapped from his home in the spring of 2009, presumably by the increasingly desperate producers of "Air Bud." We do, however, bring you a skateboarding cockatoo. Finally! An animal skating under his own power!
Say, here's a plucky bird with his own pair of roller skates! Enjoy our friend Stewie, the skating eclectus parrot.
English bulldogs really, really love to skate. Maybe it's because they're so fat that running on their own power is too hard, but you put an English bulldog anywhere near a skateboard and you'll end up with some mobile adorability.
The list of skateboarding bulldogs goes on and on. There's Chief, Kobe, Darla, Frank and, in Japan, Bazooka, just for starters. The two most famous skating bulldogs are Tillman, the world-record-holding speed skater, and Tyson, who's personal BFFs with Oprah. Tyson is the original skateboarding bulldog and the bearer of all joy in the universe.
Tillman not only skates but also surfs and skimboards. His moment of glory, however, came when Natural Pet Foods built a one-story sculpture of him for a parade float.
Here they are enjoying a day at the skate park together:
As for the future? They've inspired several puppies, like Boddington:
And Dozer:
Though not a bulldog, Extreme Pete is the Tony Hawk of skateboarding animals. (Sadly, we could find no evidence of skateboarding hawks.)
Conclusion? Dogs win. Try to prove us wrong.

Jennifer Lawrence Announces Plans To Quit Acting After "The Hunger Games" Movies
Jennifer Lawrence has announced her plans to quit acting after "The Hunger Games" franchise comes to an end. During an interview with Empire Magazine, Jennifer revealed that she is the reason her schedule is so busy so she's not upset that she doesn't have much of a break in between films:
It's okay, it's my fault. I get little breaks here and there. But on the last day of Hunger Games, I'm going to turn my phone off for a year!
Looks like Jennifer is planning on taking at least a year off from acting! She's also revealed in interviews in the past that she hopes to quit acting when it's time for her to get married and start a family. It's unclear if that will happen after "The Hunger Games," or if Jennifer will return to acting for a few years before quitting for good.
Fingers crossed she never quits though – she's such a great actress!

News: Jay-Z Fades To Black, Goes Ghost On "Magna Carta Holy Grail" Cover
Monday, Jul 1, 2013 11:30AM
Rap mogul Jay-Z continues his trend of opting out of appearing on new albums as his new Magna Carta Holy Grail LP shows a Jigga-less cover.
Rather than go with an introspective design, Jay's new LP cover simply bears the title's initials.
Jay Z's highly anticipated 12th studio album, Magna Carta Holy Grail, is days away from dropping and the cover art has been released. It's a simple design. His labelmate and friend Kanye West recently released an album with simple cover art as well. Thought West's cover looks like an intricate design when compared to Jay Z's album cover. (Fansided)
A finalized tracklisting for the new LP has also turned up.
01. Picasso Baby 02. Heaven 03. Versus 04. Tom Ford 05. Beach Is Better 06. FuckWithMeYouKnowIGotIt f. Rick Ross 07. Oceans f. Frank Ocean 08. F.U.T.W. 09. Part II (On The Run) f. Beyoncé 10. BBC f. Nas, Beyoncé, Justin Timberlake, Pharrell, Swizz Beatz & Timbaland 11. La Familia 12. Jay-Z Blue 13. Nickles & Dimes 14. Holy Grail f. Justin Timberlake) [Bonus Track] 15. Open Letter [Bonus Track] (Magna Carta Holy Grail)
Leading to its release later this week, Mr. Carter has released a series of mini-clips decoding tracks like "Heaven."
"This song is like, toying with the idea of being on heaven or hell on Earth. No matter what religion you are, accept other people's idea because have 'you' ever been to heaven? Have you ever seen, you know what I'm saying? My idea is heaven is in your daughter's laughter. Hell could be if your child is missing for three minutes, you're in three minutes of hell. It's just not my beliefs that a just God will make you burn to eternity for free will that he gave you." (YouTube)
Contributing producer Swizz Beatz recently gave fans an idea of what to expect from the mystery project.
He continues: "[Fans] always want to go back to the classics. You always have that hunger of 'Man, why didn't he didn't he just... Man, he's supposed to...' It's always going to be that. For the first time in a long time I think someone solved that problem. He did that with this album." (VIBE)

Article describing the friendly relationship and mutual respect between Aikman and Palmer, and why you should never block a neighbor's driveway.
Yakuza Rich has a pretty interesting post at his blog. In order to put Romo's record breaking season in context in relation to how the league has changed and become more pass oriented over the years, he looks at QB stats (YPA, Comp%, QB rating) of the top 5 Cowboys QBs (Meredith, Staubach, White, Aikman, Romo) in their best years and best two back-to-back years, and how they compared to the rest of the league. Atlhough Romo had a huge year and broke their overall records, in all but one case he actually was #4 or #5 compared to the other great Cowboys QBs and how far above average they were in the league during their best years. One thing that clearly stands out is that The Dodger had a truly monster year in '71. With another year under Romo's belt and the same receiving corps as last year, with T.O. still playing at a very high level and more experience across the board behind him, combined with the versatility of Felix and Martellus to contribute in the passing game, plus the upgraded defense that will likely give the offense more time of possession, it will be very exciting to see how he compares this year. His best years are still in front of him!

If you carry an umbrella, it won't rain, and if you don't, it will. You want an umbrella that won't collapse or invert in the wind. The grip must be comfortable throughout your walk. Stick umbrellas are harder to carry rolled up but usually have bigger canopies and better grips. Compact umbrellas store well but often have a tiny, uncomfortable grips and small, shallow canopies.
1. ShedRain Windpro Auto Open/Close Umbrella
2. Swiss Army Victorinox Automatic Open/Close Umbrella
Sorry, it doesn't have a scissors, toothpick, or even a pocket knife. But Victorinox makes high-quality items, and this umbrella is no exception. It's a compact 13 inches until it automatically unfurls in 3 stages. It has a wind-reflex frame to prevent inversion and made with a titanium alloy for strength. The grip is a comfortable TPR-molded handle. It has both open and close with the push of a button.
3. ShedRain Windjammer Jumbo Umbrella
4. Gustbuster Metro Style Umbrella
5. Totes Isotoner Micro Umbrella
My walking friends say the surest way to prevent rain is to carry along an umbrella. These models are very packable, between 6 and 8 inches long folded. The drawback is the tiny knob when you unfurl them, which can be uncomfortable after any time. That said, these are my favorites as they are easy to stow away or carry easily like a baton once the shower is over.
6. GRIP2 Umbrella
My biggest deterrent from using an umbrella is controlling it in the wind. The GRIP2 umbrella has a unique design -- a second, adjustable grip so you can put two hands on the umbrella shaft comfortably and keep it under control. You can place the second grip anywhere you wish, so if you want to choke up your grip near the canopy, you can.The debuted with just one large-size umbrella with a 62-inch arc. It's vented and waterproof. As a bonus, it is long enough to double as a walking stick with a comfortable grip if it isn't raining!

Did anybody else notice that we could field an entirely workable starting 11 (when everyone is fit) with players from only three nations?
Turnbull (England)
Azpilicueta (Spain), Cahill (England), Terry (England), Cole (England)
Luiz (Brazil), Lampard (England)
Ramires (Brazil), Oscar (Brazil), Mata (Spain)
Torres (Spain)
And we could still afford to make three substitutions and still stay within the three nationalities:
Bertrand (England) for Cole
Romeu (Spain) for Luiz
Piazon (Brazil) for Ramires
That's an entire 14 players (starting 11 + 3 substitutions), which is the maximum number of players a team could field in a match, made up of only three nationalities (English, Spanish, Brazillian). And without the need to draft in any youth team players to fill in for the sake of staying within the amount of nationalities (In other words, looking a little desperate).
Bet not many top English teams could do this?

Yeshayahu Leibowitz - First step towards atheism
Lior Tal
Lior Tal [email] is a student of journalism and political science in the University of Tel Aviv
Translation from Hebrew by the webmaster.
Is there actually no meaning to the statement "I believe in god"?
"I do not understand the meaning of those words when not related to the duties that evolve of them... and you have to also mention that in the world as it is today string pulling by god is not noticable at all".
What are the major elements in the faith of a religious person, as they are perceived by the vast majority of the religious world, globally, and the Orthodox one particularly?
First, the creation of the world. The question is what is the beginning of the being and the answer which points over an outter being called God stands as the base of that faith. Second, The endowment of the written Torah and the tractate of its commentaries on Mount Sinai, by the same God. ie. The Torah and the pradigm of commands we have are a divine document. Third, the existence of God as a supervising of the incidents in the world and realizing his discipline in the terms of compansation and punishment. This supervistion is perceived as private supervisition and national one. And the completion of the faith circle: afterlife, the reviving of dead and the arrival of Messiah. There is an expected reward in the figure of those three to the short vain life on earth, and all the worlds becomes a corridor leading to the "real world". We can say those principals, that are, off course, anchored in the well known 13 principals of faith by Maimonides, are being nowadays the faith basis of the religious Jew. Almost no rabinical authority would dare oppose the truth of those principals. Each single one of those simple pricnipals are not accepted by Prof. Yeshayahu Leibowitz, z"l. Before I quote his views I feel obligated to note that Leibowitz was first of all a practicing religious man. He considered keepeing the Orthodox Halakha as the basis of his existence and the essence of his life. Leibowitz testified about himself that over all his life he never considered not keeping Mitzvot, Even not in teenage, and he sees only one single value in a human life - the worship of God. "For this is what man is all about" he would repeatedly quote Kohelet.
Nevertheless, as I noted, Leibowitz disagreed with all of those basic preassumptions of faith. To his claim, there is no religious obligation to recognize those assumptions as true. He drafts, as his usual habit, Maimonides to anchor his words in the scriptures. In several places Maimonides writes that there is no Halkhic obligation in issues of faith that are not directly linked to practicing Mitzvot. And this is what Maimonides writes in his commentary about the mishna in Sota tractate, chapter 3: "And I have already mentioned many times that when there is a disagreement between the sages in a thought of faith whose object is not imperative - you do not say there 'the Halakha is like someone says' as this is something feeded back to God". Once Leibowitz sees himself released of the religious duty to recognise those principals, he starts a campaign against them.
Leibowitz was not an atheist, but of his discipline atheism is guaranteed! His brilliant and consistent rejection of what I call the faith circle does not imply immediately the abandonment of Mitzvot, but it will probably lead many to that step.
All I have left is to end with a personal note: I was first introduced to his writings when I was a 15 year old religious lad. His book "About the world and its content" taught me skepticism, a consistent uncompromising seeking of the truth, what philosophical thinking is etc. Leibowitz changed my thought patterns and furthermore - made me think. His writings brought me, together with other reasons, to doubt the most basic principals of faith by which I had been educated. In my rendezvous with him, towards the end of my high school studies, I had a great lust to hear answers that would resume me, progressively, to the faith that fleed between my fingers. I think it was the first time in my life I got seriously disappointed of Prof. Leibowitz z"l.
Nowadays I am an atheist.

Underrated: "He Wasn't Lyrical In A Big Pun Way, But What He Was Saying Was Always Solidly Put Together"

[SOHH features a new entertainment personality each week to speak on who they feel is the most underrated artist. After Eddie Griffin gave KRS-One the title last week, Philadelphia rapper Has-Lo crowns Wu-Tang Clan's Inspectah Deck SOHH Underrated.]
Music-wise, Inspectah Deck is SOHH Underrated. Let's give the crown to Deck. Deck is actually one of my favorites [out of] the entire Wu-Tang Clan.
He's a dude that definitely inspired me coming up. He made me want to write rhymes. I would hear something that he spit and just be like, "I need a pen right now." It was all about his lyricism and flow for me.
Deck was a guy that wasn't necessarily lyrical in a Big Pun or Royce Da 5'9 way or [rapped with] super multi-syllables, but what he was saying was smart and always so solidly put together. He would say something that was just out there. Let me think about how I can phrase it. He would say something regular in such a clever way that it set him apart from everyone else.
He has a very subtle and understated lyricism. He's a guy that has to do something overly lyrical. Like I said, he's not a Big Pun with a lot of words and syllables but he was always really classy with the way he would put his rhymes together.
He would say something like, "You can't catch my style with bugs and phone taps." It's super lyrical but it might go over your head how lyrical it really is. I would love to work with him one day.
Has-Lo is a rapper/producer who has been making a steady underground buzz since 2007. He has worked with various artists including iCON, the Mic King, Awar, Zilla Rocca, Curly Castro and Small Professor. He has also released free online mixtapes. A Philadelphia native, Has-Lo recently released his new album, In Case I Don't Make It.

Lefty Women Are Asking Hair Stylists For The Bachmann Look – But on the down low
"A lot of clients have asked for Sarah Palin hair in the past four years, and now, it's Bachmann," says Andi Scarbrough of Byu-ty Hair Therapy in L.A. "Politicians are the new celebrities, because they're real. They didn't just spring up out of the red carpet."
However, she admits, "I have women who come in with photos with the face cut out sometimes."
"She has great coppery color that warms her up a little bit," said Angelo David at his E. 43rdSt. salon, who confirmed a spike in copycat requests for the candidate's look. "Not everybody wants to look like Kim Kardashian."
Bachmann's style "is safe, but not soccer mom. It's sexy," said Alma Qeraxhiu at her AlmaG Salon and Spa on E. 21st. St.
"I have found it a little bit amazing how many women have been coming in asking for her hair style, even though they don't agree with her politics."
Having the best hair is an important step. If you're betting on who will win in politics, you'll come out ahead, I think, if you always pick the candidate with the best hair. Male or female. But with female candidates, the hair can be a distraction if it's not resolved into a predictably sensible yet pretty style.
(Remember when Carly Fiorina said Barbara Boxer's hair was "so yesterday"?)

Not that I am over-reading, but ... jesus. If this professional sports-man-writer is correct, my absinthe-ridden ramblings are correct, and we're averaging 2.7 per play against the Main Event. (Maybe we'll catch them looking ahead to storied Monmouth, the Monsters of West Long Branch, New Yersey. Monmouth's schedule, itself is a killer this year. After Maine, they've got Coastal Carolina (whew, at home), Bryant (no, they don't have to play the girl's field hockey team), and, get this, *Robert Morris*, away, in Moon Township, PA.)
And to make matters worse, the next week, we have to roll out of bed, walk down Melrose again, and play Florida International Airport -- and they are the current NCAA record holder with SEVEN (7) Directional U's on their schedule this year! One of which is ... Middle Tennessee. And we remember what happened the last time we played a directional anything. Do we stand a chance?
Man, I so long for the days of Nebraska, Oregon State, USC, the odd Notre Dame contest, when it was hot, clear, and September in IC. That, at least, matched institution v. institution. I don't really care about bowl games, because I think these guys should be free to chase PAULA infractions after Thanksgiving, at least until they're paid above board and everyone understands they're quasi-pros. But no. We are now in the same league as West Long Branch, New Yersey, Monmouth, a commuter school founded in 1933. I would quote Reservoir Dogs, but I think my children read these things.
Fanhouse (aol):
"Texas A&M has found a way to get some decent talent to College Station, but will likely never approach the depth of talent you find within this conference at Oklahoma and Texas and to a lesser extent Nebraska. Luckily it's college football so there is a second option: innovate. Run the option (which they did last year), run the spread, run unusual defensive looks (which they also did), and so forth. Basically do anything to be different and chances are you'll overachieve.
"But Sherman appears to have decided to go with a pro style offense which is conventional and happens to have shackled once great offensive powerhouses like Miami and USC. Not good.
"Maybe I'm wrong but between the transition pains and the already drab offense, I see trouble on the horizon and quick."
Deception and surprise. That's what you could count on in 1985, astride Melrose, the water tower, and the strange gothic tower of the hospital. Running an O that Michigan couldn't game plan because they'd never seen it. (cf. YouTube.) This season will tell us everything. Looking retrospectively, remembering the Sunday morning in the Nagel's house after we beat 8th ranked Oregon State when Frank Holmes ran wild, must I now examine my future -- and assume that in 20 years our September opponents will be Monmouth, New Yersey?
Why not Allegheny? Allegheny, 20 years hence, is no more ridiculous than Maine or FIU, from the perspective of 20 years past. Allegheny would take the date for $300,000, which is $300,000 more than they'll get for driving to Oberlin. Let's schedule Maine and Allegheny back-to-back. It will make for good media.
Fuck. I want to play OSU and Michigan and the rest of them. Not these pygmy schools.

Black Liquor
An Industry Drunk on Taxpayer Cash
"Black liquor" is the name of a byproduct of the pulp and paper manufacturing process. It can be used as an alternative fuel source, although it is extremely uneconomical.
America's big pulp and paper companies solved the cost problem by raiding the Treasury. "Black liquor" has for years received a generous taxpayer subsidy paid for by American consumers.
How big a gift is this? In 2009, International Paper (IP) booked $2.06 billion from the government. Without the credits, it would have had a loss of $1.4 billion. Well over a dozen other public companies benefitted from the tax credits. Taxpayers were out $6 billion for 2009.
The tax credit has expired and President Obama, to his immense credit, is against restoring it. But the industry is lobbying furiously to have it restored and stick it to consumers once again. It's no secret why: a J.P. Morgan analyst once described the companies as "burning black liquor into gold."
Meanwhile, the industry and its allies throughout the Empires of Collusion complain that forest and paper manufacturers in the developing world unfairly benefit from, you guessed it, government subsidies. The hypocrisy would be laughable if it wasn't so harmful to consumer interests.

Washington Redskins
Ryan Kerrigan - #91 - LB
|6' 4"/ 260 lbs.
|Muncie, IN
|Years played
|2011, 1st round, 16th pick by Redskins
Moore has been pleasant surprise for Redskins
The Redskins have wanted to find a way to move LaRon Landry closer to the line of scrimmage, and the team might have found the solution with the emergence of Kareem Moore.
Reports: Westbrook will choose team soon
Reports are circulating that free-agent RB Brian Westbrook will make a decision Monday about which team he'll play for this season. Although one report said he'd choose the Rams, the team's contract negotiator refuted that.
Haynesworth passes Skins' conditioning test
Albert Haynesworth finally passed the Redskins' conditioning test Saturday morning.
Knee short-circuits Haynesworth's conditioning test
After bypassing his required conditioning drill over the weekend, Redskins DT Albert Haynesworth decided to give it another go Monday morning. However, after three back-and-forth sprints, the two-time All-Pro had to cut short the test when his knee began to ...
Redskins waive QB Brennan
After completing a trade with the Ravens to acquire QB John Beck earlier Monday, the Redskins announced that they have released QB Colt Brennan.
Redskins trade for QB Beck
The Redskins announced Monday that they acquired QB John Beck from the Ravens in exchange for CB Doug Dutch.
Grimm headed for 'Hog' heaven
For those of you relatively unfamiliar with "The Hogs," PFW's Dan Arkush and Hall of Fame "Hog" Russ Grimm himself present the following history lesson.
Portis ahead in Redskins' RB battle
Clinton Portis is the favorite to win Washington's starting RB job, according to "NFC Whispers," despite having more competition this year than in recent seasons.
Haynesworth skips conditioning test
A swollen knee has kept Redskins DT Albert Haynesworth from taking his conditioning test a third time. Haynesworth had some irritation in the knee, and doctors recommended that he not take the test today, head coach Mike Shanahan said.
McNabb says contract extension will happen
Redskins QB Donovan McNabb said he is not concerned about getting a new deal done, and our sources believe something will happen early in the regular season.
Redskins sign fourth overall pick OT Williams
The Redskins announced Friday that they have signed first-round draft pick Trent Williams, an offensive tackle out of Oklahoma who was the fourth overall pick in the 2010 draft.
Reports: Haynesworth fails conditioning tests
On Wednesday, Redskins head coach Mike Shanahan said once-disgruntled DT Albert Haynesworth appeared to be in good shape, but he failed part of a conditioning test required of all players
Don't assume Haynesworth, Redskins will go on smoothly
It has been my experience that it's not easy for some people to forget. So even now that Albert Haynesworth has said he's ready to report to camp, that might not be enough for some Redskins.
Reports: Haynesworth to report as happy camper
Redskins DL Albert Haynesworth has not made a lot of friends in Washington this summer with his displeasure over his role with the team, but reports indicate he is ready to mend fences.
NFC East training-camp reports
In the fifth part of our series of training-camp reports, we look at NFC East teams, including a Redskins club with newcomer Donovan McNabb at the helm.
Washington Redskins linebackers London Fletcher and Kerrigan will head to the Pro Bowl as replacements for Super Bowl-bound San Francisco 49ers linebackers Patrick Willis and Aldon Smith.||||||| The 37-year-old Fletcher is going to his fourth consecutive Pro Bowl. Kerrigan, a second-year player, gets his first trip to the exhibition game. Their additions give the Redskins five Pro Bowl selections for the first time since 1996. They join rookie quarterback Robert Griffin III, who will miss the Pro Bowl after knee surgery, left tackle Trent Williams and special teamer Lorenzo Alexander.
Mike Shanahan upgraded a defense that was a yearlong embarrassment by selecting Ryan Kerrigan of Purdue with the 16th overall selection Thursday night in the NFL draft.||||||| Kerrigan was a defensive end in college, but he'll be an outside linebacker in Washington. The Redskins switched to a 3-4 scheme last year and didn't have the personnel to pull it off - the talents of Albert Haynesworth and Andre Carter essentially went to waste. Kerrigan will play opposite two-time Pro Bowl linebacker Brian Orakpo, giving the Redskins an imposing tandem threat to the quarterback.

NEW HANOVER COUNTY, NC (WECT) - Commissioners in New Hanover County will discuss spending up to $300,000 to tear down parts of the former WASTEC facility due to safety concerns. Last August, an engineering firm noted that certain parts of the facility would not meet current wind criteria.
The repairs would have been included in a contract with Covanta to refurbish the facility but that agreement never happened.
In order to keep on site employees safe, county staff is requesting the stack and flues at WASTEC be removed "expeditiously."
County staff is recommending Commissioners vote to accept bids on the project and move forward as long as the bids come in under $300,000. If the bids are higher, county staff will present an updated recommendation to the board at a future meeting.

One of the responses I got back when I announced the 31 Days of Blog Awesomeness was from Partha.
PARTHA Says: I really want to know how you started your own venture as an entrepreneur. What I am looking for a step by step guide to start up and own a new business.
This is a big topic and and would not fit into a single post. What I will cover is how to look at products and ideas and quickly determine if it's worth moving forward with. I've made the mistake, as I know many have, of moving forward on a project before doing enough testing or having sufficient data to determine viability.
I've said before that I'll work on any product or project where there is a margin and a market. Those are my 2 M's for a new product.
Step1. Determine if there is sufficient margin in the product to support the beginning phases of growth.
- What is the expected cost per unit to manufacture and get to market?
- What is the expected retail price?
- How many units would I need to sell per month in order to make money? This is the minimum threshold.
Step 2. Determine if there is sufficient market to reach the minimum threshold.
- What is my target market?
- Can they afford my retail price?
- What are they buying now, and how many of those are being sold each month?
Step 3. Determine how I can do it better.
- Can I beat their price?
- Can I beat their service?
- Can I offer more?
- Can I market better?
Step 4. Test. If you're like me you don't have a large marketing and R&D budget. You need to test your idea first before dumping money into it. It is always better to ask people to buy your product rather than ask them if they would. Allow them to act and measure what your potential cost per acquisition would be. I'll cover more on how to test in a later post… maybe.
Step 5. Go big, or go home. If the test is big then it's time to take it up a level and get serious. If the test were not favorable you can either quit the project or test some more variables. Don't get too emotional at this point. If after a good amount of testing the market isn't responding to your widgets for left handed people don't be sad. It's an opportunity to brainstorm again.
Starting a business is easy. Starting a profitable business is a little harder. Even harder is starting and maintaining a profitable business. Luckily Partha didn't ask me how to do that, he just wanted to know how I started.
One Response to "Starting a Business – 31 DoBA – Day 28"
Partha Says:
January 30th, 2011 at 10:26 am
Hi Tyler,
Thanks for a great and very insightful post. I really have a lot to learn from you..
Keep blogging. I hope to get a lot more out of this..

Hey everyone, I want to try something here. I'm currently in the process of making a sweet RPG game with detailed turn-based fighting. The amount of artwork I desire is a little hefty and I don't want to do it all by myself. So here's what I want to do:
I need swords – very creative, unique, original, asymmetric swords that are themed like exotic animals: crocodiles, birds, tigers, snakes, sharks, etc. No cats or puppies. Vector art is preferred as I can scale it as I wish, but If you don't have access to a vector editor, try to keep everything between 40*100 to 120*250. I'm looking for 'decent' stuff. The more shading, texture, and overall detail the better. I don't want the swords to look like they were literally built out of animal body parts, but more like a mutation of the animal.
Of course, if I use your sword in the game, you will get credit and recognition within the game.
Thank you for your time. Feel free to ask me questions, or to tell me to go away. :)
Here are some examples:

Angels top Dodgers in a pinch
Pride and Napoli homer; so do Repko and Choi
LOS ANGELES -- Curtis Pride slugged a three-run pinch-hit home run in the seventh inning and Mike Napoli added a solo pinch homer to lift the Angels to a 6-4 win over the Dodgers on Sunday and a sweep of the three-game Freeway Series.Pride's home run followed singles by Jose Molina and Maicer Izturis and came off Elmer Dessens, who was making his final tune-up before an emergency start Friday in Arizona. The Dodgers cut the deficit to 5-3 in the bottom of the seventh on a walk by Norihiro Nakamura and a double by Jason Grabowski. The Angels added a run on Napoli's pinch home run in the eighth. Grabowski pulled the Dodgers to within two runs with an RBI single in the ninth after a single by Mike Edwards and a walk to Mike Rose. In the fourth inning, the Dodgers took a 2-0 lead when rookie Jason Repko and Hee-Seop Choi hit back-to-back home runs off Angels starter Paul Byrd. The home runs were Repko's third and Choi's fourth of the spring. Those were the only runs off Byrd in six innings. The Angels countered with a run off Dodgers starter Scott Erickson in the fifth inning on an infield single by Robb Quinlan and a triple by Izturis. That was the only run off Erickson in six innings.

CALERA, Ala. (AP) — The Alabama county at the center of the Supreme Court's decision on voting rights is praising the decision.
Shelby County attorney Butch Ellis says the ruling Tuesday will save local and state governments time and money without hurting the cause of voting equality.
Ellis says he's "elated" with the ruling, in which the court said a key part of the law is invalid until it's updated by Congress.
The justices set aside a part of the landmark law that requires federal approval for changes to election practices in the South and some other areas.
Ellis says local governments have spent more than $1 billion seeking Justice Department approval of voting changes. He says money spent on lawyers in the past can now go to schools, police and fire protections.

Bristol-Myers Squibb announced today that it is pulling its antidepressant Serzone (nefazodone) from the U.S. market. The controversial antidepressant has already been banned from sale in many countries because of links to cases of liver failure and injury, and at least 20 deaths. The company reportedly notified wholesalers that distribution of Serzone would end June 14. They insist that the medication is being pulled because of declining sales, rather than concerns about its safety.
Several lawsuits are pending in U.S. courts against both Bristol-Myers Squibb and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Nefazodone will remain available as a generic medication, and some attorneys report that they will continue their suits against the FDA until the drug is banned from the market entirely.
While liver failure is not a common side effect of the medication, there is no way to predict which patients will suffer this potentially-fatal side effect. This unpredictability is what led Canada to ban the medication last year. Nefazadone appears to be the only antidepressant currently on the market that can cause liver failure.
What should you do if you are taking nefazodone? First discuss it with your doctor. He or she may be able to substitute another medication. The half-life of nefazodone and its active metabolites is reportedly 18 hours or less. While there is no clearly defined withdrawal syndrome from stopping Serzone, some physicians recommend tapering this medication rather than abruptly discontinuing it. Since you started taking this medication on advice from your doctor, it just makes sense to include your doctor in any decision to discontinue the medication.

Lucien has started kindergarten. One of the many things I love about his new school is the emphasis they place on being active and using their bodies throughout the school day. Lucien's first class on his very first day of school, as it turned out, was a Healthy Movements class in the gym. (The first week they played soccer. The next, freeze dance.) On our school tour the assistant principal talked to parents about the importance of recess, and a new program they've started where kids can come a half hour early to school for free outdoor play in the mornings. The school finds that recess, free play, and the small-scale field trips they take to the local park for science class really make a difference in how kids are able to learn once back in the classroom. As a yogi, I know that these stretch-your-leg opportunities can be as edifying as violin or Mandarin. I'm so heartened to see that public schools are catching on to this.
I've been thinking a lot about elementary schools recently, and was really interested to check out Om Schooled by Sarah Herrington, a memoir and practical manual in one about her experiences teaching yoga in an elementary school setting.
Years ago I taught yoga classes on a volunteer basis in a Los Angeles public school. I'd meet my kids in the huge gymnasium and take 50-plus children through a class period of Downward Dogs, Tree, and Corpse poses. It was inspiring, chaotic, and fun work. But I have to admit I didn't really know the best way to manage a classroom or have a full understanding of how to translate yoga poses and practice for children. I got creative and did my best but I would have loved the help of a real world manual like this one.
I was also interested, and surprised, to find out that some parents are worried that yoga in the classroom goes against their religious beliefs.
Do your children have enough recess and active time at school? Do they have access to yoga? Have you ever taught a yoga class in a school? Please share your experiences with YJ.com! And definitely check out OM Schooled if you are interested in teaching yoga in schools—or would like to bring yoga to your child's classroom.

So, I'm pretty sure I've mentioned this before on here but I got a shelter dog about 6 months ago. He's a pit/lab mix and a huge baby to boot, probably about a year and a half old.
All that aside, I'm looking for advice from the experienced. Dog has anxiety issues. We'll leave the house for any amount of time and he'll start chewing up whatever he can reach. When we first got him, he did the same thing and we figured with time he'd get better as he got used to the environment (being a shelter dog and all). He did stop for a few weeks if not longer and now he's started right back up. I'm fairly convinced it's anxiety (he's a very high strung dog).
Any helpful tips from my fellow "dads?" Anything will help. Also, show us your pups. I like to say "awwwwwwwww."
This is Sarge. He's a baby.

Ex-Whites ace spared jail after crash (From The Bolton News)
Ex-Whites ace spared jail after crash
10:49am Saturday 12th January 2013 in News
A FORMER Bolton Wanderers midfielder was given a six-month suspended prison sentence and ordered to carry out 300 hours of unpaid work after he fell asleep at the wheel and killed a motorcyclist.
Scott Sellars, who played more than 100 games for the Whites from 1995 to 1999, pleaded guilty to causing death by careless driving.
Nottingham Crown Court heard that the incident happened on the A6 in Derbyshire in April, 2011.
Sellars, aged 47, was spared jail after Recorder Shaun Smith said it was a single careless act and Sellars was not speeding.
The court also heard that the former footballer, now a youth coach at Manchester City, had apologised to the family of Simon Burnett, who died after the accident.
The accident happened as Sellars was driving home from work in Manchester, having gone straight there after flying home from Dubai.
Neither Manchester City nor Scott Sellars responded to requests for comment.

ences of driving whilst tired, drunk or under the influence of drugs and they all should be charged with murder not some pathetic driving without due care and attention or careless driving crap. So it should be a murder charge.
Our justice system is a joke!

He says they may have been drinking.Officials were searching an area less than a quarter mile near the Lake Lanier Islands. They say they had to suspend the search on Saturday due to the high volume of traffic on the lake. They are expected to be out on the water again Sunday to continue the search and recovery mission.Investigators for Hall County say they are withholding the man's name at this time. The incident remains under investigation.

Is the Stock Market Passing You By?
At the macro level, investors are subject to the same illusory progress. Central banks around the world are pumping cash into the banking system. This creates the appearance of prosperity, but systemically and fundamentally, I do not see it. What I do see are short-term measures from governments designed to make people feel better in the short run and hoping that translates into something real in the long run.
So how can you benefit from the current environment while avoiding the tailgaters in the left lane? My advice is to find profitable companies generating predictable or growing cash flow. These same companies can take advantage of central bank policy and borrow at historically low rates with the purpose of investing in their businesses for growth or returning cash to shareholders.
Companies like this can provide attractive returns over time, and the growing dividends and cash flow from the business create a buffer if the overall market turns down.
The chart below contains stocks that have a track record of increasing their dividend to shareholders. I am not recommending investors buy these stocks. I am, however, suggesting the list represents a point of departure for further research on an investment strategy that focuses on growing income rather than simply focusing on stock values.For instance, if in November 2002, you purchased $10,000 of Mattel (MAT) that were trading at about $20.50, your 488 shares, then yielding about 28 cents a share would have netted you about $137. Today, those same shares would generate generate about $605, for a cash-on-cash return ($605/$10,000) of more than 6% or three times the yield on 10-year treasury bonds. In the longer term, investing is not about feeling good or feeling bad. It's about what is doing the right thing for yourself financially. That means ignoring what is happening to indexes and specific stocks and choosing what fits your risk profile and needs. You should not look to others to define what you need, rather look inside yourself and set your own destination and develop a reasonable way of getting there.
We recommend staying at a comfortable safe speed, and over time you will probably pass those who make the mistake of lead footing it with a lot less anxiety. Unfortunately, they might just be piled up on the left shoulder waiting for tow trucks and EMS vehicles as you slip by to your destination still in one piece.

3Quotables: Will Smith Fawns Over Jada Pinkett-Smith
"We make the effort to always put the family first. Being there for each other and being present with our kids is the most important thing. I take being a parent very seriously. What's helped us is being supportive, no matter what the situation is. I'm so lucky to have someone like Jada. She's really an incredible woman, wife and mother. … She is just absolutely hardcore, like she absolutely is unfazed by the weight and the pressures of life. She is so calm and cool and easy in any situation. She can bear anything, and I just love that about her."
That's Will Smith talking about his love for his family and his wife, Jada Pinkett-Smith, and wow. Remember all of those pesky break-up rumors? Guess all that business isn't happening now, huh? It really does look like things are A-OK on the homefront for these two, and why not. It's not as if they've really got anywhere else to go, now, do they? I mean, 'Men in Black III' is sure to tank, so it's not as if Will's going to be highly-sought-after by really anyone (unless you want to talk about an 'Independence Day II', and even I'd see that), so Jada doesn't really have to worry. And what with Jada's "hardcore" attitude, I'm sure she's all about keeping Will on his toes, even if he is a giant douchebag egomaniac. Everyone's gotta love someone after all, right?

I call B.S.
They stayed together so he could promote MIB3.
I bet they'll be separated before 2012 is over.
I agree with Hawk! And usually when Hollywood couples try to prove to the world that they're still together by fawning over each other to try to squash breakup rumors the end is usually near!
Why the negativity? They're a great couple and clearly love and respect each other. Why people wish for others to divorce is beyond me.

Police: Brittany Roark left 18-month-old twins alone in 'unlivable conditions'
COLERAIN Twp. -- Police arrested a Colerain Township woman Thursday after an officer found two 18-month-olds left alone in "unlivable conditions" inside her home.
Brittany Roark, 32, was taken into custody after police say they found her 18-month-old twins inside her home in the 9600 block of Manhattan Drive.
The responding officer said he looked inside a window at Roark's home and saw one toddler without clothing and another toddler with only a diaper on. They were walking around on top of dirt, food, clothes, garbage and animal waste, according to police reports.
Roark has three other children but they were not home when police were called, according to officials.
Police requested the children be removed from the home but were not immediately available to comment on where they were taken.
Roark has been charged with two counts of child endangering and her bond was set at $10,000 Friday morning.

'Grape Guy' Catches 116 Grapes in Mouth
[img width=350 height=475]http://www.bismarcktribune.com/content/articles/2006/11/16/ap/strange/d8lee2l01.jpg[/img]
SYDNEY, Australia - An American man caught 116 tossed grapes in his mouth in three minutes in what he hopes will become a new Guinness World Record, his publicity team said Thursday.
Steve "the Grape Guy" Spalding, 44, of Dallas, Texas also set a personal record for endurance grape catching, using his mouth to catch 1,203 grapes thrown from a distance of 15 feet over half an hour, according to publicist Deanna Brown.
No Guinness World Records officials were present at Spalding's grape-gobbling attempt, carried out Thursday in Australia overlooking Sydney's iconic Opera House.
But Brown said observers had filmed Spalding's attempt and would be submitting forms to Guinness officials in the hopes of creating a new record for speed grape-catching _ the most grapes caught in the mouth over three minutes.
No current speed grape catching record exists, she said.
Guinness World Records has no offices in Australia, and the organization could not immediately be reached for comment.

"I opened a restaurant that would seat 250 people. It takes a genius to do that in a town of 950," Corry joked. "When we opened, I wanted us to offer something that the people around here didn't have. I think we've succeeded in that because we have so many customers that are still here and have been here since day one."
Corry calls the Bull Pen a "destination restaurant." He said customers have come from across the United States and several other countries to dine at the Oakman eatery.
"With the restaurant being located here at Old York Farms, it gives people an atmosphere that you can't get most anywhere else," he said. "I'm just thankful to have loyal customers and employees. When you open a restaurant, I think you've got about a 50/50 shot at making it. We've made it because of the customers and the employees."
The Bull Pen was opened only two years after Corry married his wife, Stephanie. Both work full-time jobs as well as running the restaurant — Bull at Walter's Energy and Stephanie as a registered nurse for ENT Associates in Jasper. The couple have two daughters — 9-year-old Chloe and 4-year-old Cash.
"This restaurant is an extension of our family," Corry said. "When you come here, we consider you to be part of our family. My daughters have been raised here."
Chloe Corry said she enjoys helping around the business, especially cooking from time to time.
"I like to cook," she said. "I've cooked hamburgers and even a steak or two when Daddy will let me."
Although he has employed two capable cooks, Bull Corry is usually the one running the show in the Bull Pen's kitchen.
"We've got two other great employees that have been here for years that cook as well, but I enjoy cooking so I try to be back here most of the time," he said. "My mother was a great cook, and I guess I got my love of cooking from her."
As well as being a sit-down restaurant, the Bull Pen also offers a drive-through barbecue pit and caters events of any size. Corry also teamed with local radio station owner Brett Elmore to start the Old York Opry, which can be heard January through August on the first Saturday of each month on Country Legends 88.5 FM.
"Now that we've added the Opry Room, our seating capacity is more than 300 people," Corry said. "We've got more plans for next year, which will include adding some fun things at Old York. I'm very thankful for the businesses that sponsor the park and the opry."
Corry is also offering smoked turkeys and hams for Thanksgiving and Christmas. He said Thanksgiving orders should be in by Sunday.
Corry joked that he hopes to continue running the restaurant for at least 40 more years.
"After that I will turn it over to one of the girls," he said.

The leaks were all true: Following Samsung, Acer, and Lenovo, HP has decided to build a laptop running Google's Chrome OS operating system. It's called the HP Pavilion 14 Chromebook, and its distinguishing characteristic is right there in the name: unlike the first wave of Chromebooks with 11.6-inch and 12-inch screens, the Pavilion 14 has a 14-inch 1366 x 768 panel, and a correspondingly large laptop frame. HP hopes the larger keyboard and more spacious experience will contribute to improved ease of use. There's also a correspondingly larger array of ports, including three USB 2.0 sockets and an SD card slot so you can expand the included (tiny) 16GB of solid state storage should you so choose.
Otherwise, with a 1.1GHz Intel Celeron processor, 2GB of RAM and integrated graphics, the nearly four-pound laptop has much the same processing power under the hood as the competition — which isn't saying a lot, but it should be fine for the limited scope of Chrome OS. The real problem might be that despite the larger frame, HP says the Pavilion 14 Chromebook's removable battery is only good for about 4 hours and 15 minutes. When we reviewed Acer's C7 Chromebook, which starts at just $199, we found its 4 hour, 29 minute runtime unacceptable for a device that just browses the web and runs web apps, particularly when Samsung's $250 Chromebook delivered well over six hours on a charge. Here, HP's asking for $329.99 for a similar runtime as the Acer.
Didn't netbooks have longer battery life
Still, if the idea of a more sizable, possibly more comfortable Chrome OS laptop has you intrigued, you'll find the HP Pavilion 14 Chromebook on sale today at HP's website and shipping to multiple US retailers.

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) - Lupus is a strange disease that's easily misdiagnosed because it can move around and damage any part of the body. It's particularly dangerous when it's diagnosed in young people, like Lindsey Aldous, who was diagnosed at the age of five. Thursday on HealthWise at 5, we heard that it's a miracle that Aldous is in remission at age 17.
"If it wasn't for the money that goes to the experiments and the experimental treatments then Lindsey wouldn't be here with us today. She was given a year to live when she was five. Five years ago they gave her 95% mortality before she graduated from high school. And then we started the experimental treatment, two years ago she went into remission and has been off all, but one medication," said Suzie Aldous, R.N., and mother of Lindsey.
If you'd like to join the effort to help kids like Lindsey, and thousands of adults who suffer from Lupus, the first annual Lupus Walk in Lubbock is set for Friday morning. Registration is at 8 a.m. and the walk starts at 9 a.m. at the Buddy Holly Recreation Area which is at Cesar Chavez Dr. and North University.

Ichiro Suzuki's first at-bat as a Yankee — he started in right field, wore Dave Winfield's old No. 31, and hit eighth — came against the Mariners. And his first hit came in it.
Ichiro, traded to the Yankees for minor leaguers earlier in the day, took a Kevin Millwood pitch back up the middle for a single to center in the top of the third for New York's second hit of the night. He immediately stole second base and moved over to third on a groundout by Russell Martin, but he perished on third thanks to another groundout by Derek Jeter.
Ichiro came back up in the top of the fourth, after the Yankees broke through for three runs, but popped up to second with two men on and one out.
Still, he was hitting .500 against the Mariners after his first two at-bats, which is a pretty good mark for a guy who had never faced them before!

Consumer Law
NJ Lawyer, 2 Affiliated Debt Collectors, Agree to $7.9M Settlement With AG of W.Va.
Posted Nov 16, 2010 7:30 PM CDT
By Martha Neil
A New Jersey lawyer and his two affiliated Pennsylvania debt-collection companies have agreed to cancel $7.9 million in charged-off debts, delete records of the claimed debts from the credit reports of 1,922 consumers and pay $45,000 in refunds and consumer education costs, under a settlement with the West Virginia attorney general.
Laurence Hecker and the collection agencies, PM Financial Solutions LLC and Account Portfolio Management LLC, were accused of using high-pressure tactics, including threats of litigation, in an attempt to collect outdated and inadequately documented debt, reports the Record.
Hecker and APM also were not licensed and bonded as required under state law, the article says. It doesn't include any comment from the lawyer or the companies.
Said Attorney General Darrell McGraw: "I will not allow consumers facing dire financial circumstances to be crushed by abusive collection practices. My office will continue our vigorous efforts to enforce the law against unscrupulous collection agencies and debt buyers."
