GILBERT, Ariz. (AP) - A man whose extreme DUI case was dismissed is back in custody after Gilbert police claim he altered his arrest video.
Police say 56-year-old Rex Altree was arrested in September 2010 for allegedly driving with a blood-alcohol content of 0.15% or higher.
His case was dismissed last November after Altree provided a video that showed his driving wasn't consistent with the police report.
The arresting officer brought the video to the criminal investigations department and had it examined by a forensic computer analyst.
Police say results from the exam showed the dates and times stamped on the video were altered.
They say Altree now faces felony charges for perjury, forgery, tampering with physical evidence and obstructing a criminal investigation.
Police didn't immediately know Monday if Altree has a lawyer.

I Got a Mammogram
This morning I went to the local outpatient center and got a mammogram.
About nine months ago I asked my doctor if she would sign an order that allowed me to get a mammogram (they don't normally do this until you're 40 years old-I'm 31). I explained to her that women in my family had died of cancer, and that although my grandmother didn't die of breast cancer, she did find a lump in her breast that led to the discovery of other cancer in her body. Also, I had an abortion at 16, and while the National Cancer Institute does not affirm the link between breast cancer and abortion, there is enough evidence for me to want to get checked out early.
So today I did.
And friends, it was no sweat. The woman was gentle and kind, and the process didn't hurt one bit. There was some pressure from the x-ray machine, but it was fine.
I'm so glad I went. If it turns out they find something, than praise God I went in for early detection. If they don't find anything, than praise God for peace of mind.
I encourage all of you who are 40 and older or have had an abortion or breast cancer in your family to get a mammogram, and this is the perfect month to do it-it's National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

21 Coffee Talks on "I Got a Mammogram"
Wow! Good for you! I'm curious–what type of cancer did your grandmother have? My mom had ovarian–twice. Praise God she survived–twice! I'll be 31 in a month. My midwife told me I should start getting screened at 35, but I'm wondering if I should push for sooner? I've already had 2 non-cancerous breast lumps–in my mid-20s. It was SCARY! I had to have one biopsied.
Thank you for sharing it didn't hurt, because that is the one thing that has been freaking me out. My mom fainted 2x during her mammogram. I am 35, but my grandmother had breast cancer in her 30's, so I need to get one soon.
Good for you, Sarah Mae! I have fibrocystic breast tissue, so my doctor wants me to start getting mammograms at 30 (I'm 26 now). Having fibrocystic tissue doesn't make you more likely to get breast cancer, but it makes it easier for tumors to "hide." I had a scare four years ago, so I am definitely going to heed the warning and start getting them in a few years (if not sooner).
Good for you! My mom was diagnosed with breast cancer at 34. We were military, and she went to a military doctor about the lump she'd found. He told her "You're way too young to get breast cancer, but I will order a mammogram anyway." There is no such thing as too young. I was 12 at the time, and I remember after her surgery and follow up, her oncologist told her to make sure I started mammograms at 25. I think I had my baseline done when I was 27, and that was with a doctor's order and letter to the insurance company and they STILL DIDN'T COVER IT. I have been doing yearlies for the past 10 years (I just turned 40) and was on 2 month recall mammos for a year to start out with because I have calicifications everywhere in the tissue. As long as they don't change I'm okay. (For me it isn't if but when will I get cancer.) My mom passed away at 45 of cancer that we weren't sure was related or not. Either way, it's nothing to mess with!
Good for you Sarah. I am a PINK WARRIOR who counts off each month as another month from my diagnosis of breast cancer. Mine was detected by mammogram. I had a kind of cancer that was not easily detected on mammogram, because it spreads instead of lumps. I had noticed the spring before it was detected that the affected breast seemed fuller and hanging a little lower. But there was no lump, so no worry right? My oncologist recommends that women with a strong breast cancer risk have both a breast mammogram AND a breast MRI. However, schedule them 6 months apart…such as one in Jan and one in July. Then a professional is looking at your breast tissue every 6 months, but your insurance company won't scream because each test is once in a year. I wish I had been given that advice BEFORE mine was detected and advanced to the lymph nodes. Another piece of advice as well…my father was diagnosed with colon cancer at age 53. His oncologist suggested that his children start cancer screening 10 years before a parent was diagnosed. Regardless of the kind of cancer, start screening at least 10 years before it showed up in your family. Otherwise, follow the standard of care suggested by your doctor.
I am on my doctor's list for early detection. I have to start getting mammograms at 25… that's next week. (I don't know which I'm more upset about, turning 25 or getting a mammogram… :/) However, to a way off topic, question. How would I set up my comments to have a "reply" button. I love the way you have this set up. Is there a link, a website, a gadget? Please let me know. email@example.com Thank you!
Oh and P.S… I love that you go by Sarah Mae! And I love how Mae is spelled. :DDDD
Good for you! I had a mammogram earlier in the year as well (I'm 29). I have a history of cancer in my family but not breast cancer. My reasons were from chest pain that I was having and also some fibrocystic places that my dr noticed. I also had several tests relating to the heart to be sure. Come to find out I have slight Mitral Valve Prolapse and caffeine effects it. I seem to have more chest discomfort when I drink it! Caffeine effects people with fibrocystic disease as well. I also have anxiety problems, which doesn't help either! So, caffeine and I don't mix! All in all, nothing serious, but I'm glad I did it! I say, be proactive. :)
Thankful to hear you went for your mammogram, Sarah, and for encouraging others to do so as well.
Next month will be one year since my diagnosis – found by a mammogram.
Please remember – about 90% of women will get a 'call back' at some point in their lives. Yes, it is stressful, but try not to panic. The majority of those follow up mammograms show that you do not have cancer but some other issue such as those mentioned above.
Early detection is key (and saved both my life and my sister's) PLEASE do not be scared of the mammogram procedure. You may be uncomfortable for a minute but you are strong women – I know you can handle it! :-)
Sarah, way to go being proactive! Another great option instead of or in tandem with mammograms is thermography. Great history of early detection without the added risks of using x-rays on compressed breast tissue. Check it out! http://breastthermography.com/
Good for you. One of my best friends had breast cancer at 28 years old with no one in her family with a history of breast cancer. I just got mine last week. Both my grandmothers died of breast cancer, so I'm super cautious.
What a good thing to do… My great grandmother had breast cancer, not a fun road to go do, she was in her 70's when they found it… but after surgery she was blessed with another 23 years of life! I'm with you the earlier the better for detection.
Congratulations on getting your mammogram! I pray they don't find anything, but early detection is the best chance of betting any type of cancer.
Since your family has a history of cancer & because it is a great organizaiton..you may want to get involved in the local Relay For Life (American Cancer Society). The local community has teams and they do various events throughout the year. Then one day in June they have an all-night event where teams set up campsites, sell food, and some of the team stay there all night walking the track and being/celebrating with friends. They have a survivor's walk lap & luminary time. Luminary time is when people who have bought bags for loved ones, friends, etc. can light the candles & everyone is quiet for a time to reflect & remember.
It is a touching way to help fight cancer. All the monies raised goes to American Cancer Society to help fight ALL forms of Cancer! I've been involved for the last 4 or so years with my church.
It is encouraging that so many young ladies are being proactive about their health! Please continue, in your quest for good health, to research and be informed. There is an alternative to mammograms that is safer and more accurate at detecting cancer, and that is breast thermograms. No, insurance will not cover the fees at this time, but hopefully in the future it will. Here are two links to provide you with alternative information. My best to all of you!
http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archiv… — About halfway down this page is a download for a report on breast thermograms.
You'd think with a mother who died from breast cancer I'd have a mammogram every month. Well, I'm two years overdue (and I'm 41, to boot). Momma would tan my hide. Thanks for the reminder. Love you!
Hey gorgeous!
Good for you.
BTW, my last WW post was on Think Pink and you should have a look at the pics on there if you have a moment inbetween your Relevant craziness … I get to hug you in just over a week … you are going to be squished left right and center by 249 women – nervous?
Thanks so much for sharing this! I am going to talk to my Doctor this week about it. I am 30 and think I should push instead of waiting another decade to find out I should have started something earlier. I too have had an abortion and used the birth control pill for my younger years. It is very sad to think of yet another way the abortion could effect me in a negative light. Thanks for the head's up. (I visit here regularly but am posting anonymously for my privacy, but I do not mind if you contact me directly via my email, or reply to this comment).
Good job getting it done my friend!! I had mine done earlier this year and all was fine – really no big deal to have done! I won't be scared of doing it again!
Also – prayers for you with all the last-minute Relevant things I'm sure you have to do! I hope all goes smoothly and that you don't overdo it! Pretend that I'm there with you – helping out and giving out lots of HUGS! :)
Thanks for sharing! I'm 40 and have my first mammogram and also a colon cancer screening coming up. We have some family history of breast cancer and my dad is almost 3 years cancer free now from his colon cancer. He went in at age 52 and it was already at stage 3, I'm so grateful to God that he made it thru and is still here. His doctor did advise that the kind he had can be passed down, so I needed to start screening yearly at age 40 (like turning 40 wasn't fun enough LOL). Glad to know the mammy isn't so bad…mom has a horror story with her last one. It was a stormy day and right as they had one breast ready to take the shot the power went out..she wound up stuck in the machine, a bit uncomfortably to say the least, for about 30 minutes when power came back on….just made me pray there isn't a cloud in the sky when I go ;-)
Thanks for sharing this with us all! I recently came across an article from Dr. Mercola's website regarding Thermography. It seems to be an alternative to mammograms that is less painful and more accurate. I've never had a mammogram done but if it is less painful I'm all for it! Blessings.
The abortion dis-connection was enough to make me nervous for some time, too. With no history in my family, and pregnancies later in life, I didn't get mine until I was 40. And I was surprised at how easy, simple, and not-so-uncomfortable it was! This is a great reminder that although we may be Heaven bound, we need to take care of this husk we live in. =) I'm due for my 2nd mammo, but since I'm still breastfeeding, it'll have to wait!!! =)

WOW, what happened? A fine young team on the upswing lays 2 eggs in a row and the coach looks like a deer caught in the headlights. Haley looks bad in the presser; scared is an understatement, bewildered with a look in his eyes that I never saw before from him. He was almost speechless, searching for words from a never had before experience. Frank Boal, from a local KC sports news segment said that Haley and Pioli have had issues since late last year and Pioli has not gotten the players for Haley's wish list, either in the draft or FA. He went on to say that the Baldwin pick was all Pioli as Haley had other positions of need.
Unsaid was the Cassell addition which may have been all Pioli and without the Coach's approval. Seems that the biggest byline to come from this weeks blowout loss is the rift in the teams management. There may actually be something to this, think back to Charlie and Chan. For the most part, I have admired what Haley has done for this team. Buuuut, if there is truly a rift in the management of this club, it may be responsible for the teams play. Players are people and tuned in to the interactions around them. Remember Haley was a golf pro before becoming a NFL assistant. If Haley is in Pioli's doghouse then the players may not be giving their full effort for the coach.
Cowher, Crennel and Gruden have been mentioned in some posts around here as some are calling for Haley's dismissal. Mayhap it be Jim Zorn, another former head coach and player who is now on the roster. Personally I have the idea RAC is happy being out of the spotlight in the DC position after being the man in Cleveland. Is there any creedence to this rift? Stay tuned and perhaps this all gets worked out soon.
Before I close, to all you fair weather fans, our team is only ONE game behind in our division. It ain't over yet. Go Chief's!!!!

Cantor to Regroup With Solo CMBS Offering
Cantor Fitzgerald plans to move forward with a solo commercial MBS offering following its split with Wells Fargo.
Cantor, which originally planned to make its CMBS debut next month in a joint $1 billion transaction with Wells, will instead be the sole lead manager and loan contributor for a deal expected to hit the market in April. The transaction would be backed by 40-50 loans with a total balance of $600 million to $700 million, market players said. A Cantor spokeswoman declined to comment.
The plan for a Cantor-Wells collaboration went awry a few weeks ago after comments that a Cantor executive made about the transaction at an industry conference were deemed to run afoul of disclosure regulations for securities deals. Cantor and Wells could have delayed the deal, but decided to scrap it.
Since then, the two banks have regrouped: Cantor will move forward on its own, while Wells is expected to seek out an alternative lending partner. Wells can make an arrangement with any one of several groups, said one industry veteran.
Some investors said Cantor, as a new player in the CMBS market, might run a risk by serving as sole lead manager of its transaction, because it will be the only dealer committed to making a market in the bonds. The investors are going to wonder if Cantor has enough balance sheet to last through the cycle, said one buysider. Will Cantor make a market in this paper three or four years from now? That's the question.
Cantor is expected to bring in co-managers for the transaction.
Cantor decided to make a big push into the CMBS sector last year. It hired four former Credit Suisse executives to oversee the move and has since amassed a large origination staff. The conduit operation is financed in part by a warehouse line from MetLife. The CMBS trading desk is headed by veteran trader Geordie Walker, formerly of Bank of America and predecessor NationsBank. He joined in late 2008, when Cantor broadened its trading focus to include CMBS.

Samsung Series 7 Gamer (US)
Reviewed by VoxMediaUser755707 (Currently owns)
The Series 7 Gamer is a serious mobile gaming platform. It's on par with any of the latest & greatest offered from competitors and boasts a sub-$2,000 price tag. Not bad for everything you're getting. Its only glaring weakness is the battery. It's undersized and lacks longevity, clocking in nearly 2 hours before heading for a power outlet. But all things considered, you aren't playing Battlefield 3 on this thing while moving from room to room, so it's not a legitimate concern. Still, it would have been nice to see Samsung pack a little more "heat" into the battery to give it a bit more portability should the user find it necessary. If you're looking for something powerful without spending well over $2,000 on a mobile gaming/workstation laptop, this might be your best bet. $1,899 is a fair price, and the keyboard and touchpad are improved over the standard Series 7 offerings. Plus, JBL lent a hand in the on-board speakers, offering a small subwoofer to round out a very satisfying auditory experience.

A LONG WAY DOWN (2014) Pierce Brosnan, Toni Collette, Imogen Poots, Aaron Paul, Rosamund Pike, Sam Neill. Directed by Pascal Chaumeil
Fans of the novel by Nick Hornby (High Fidelity, About A Boy) may be disappointed with this adaptation by screenwriter Jack Thorne and director Pascal Chaumeil. The dark dramedy about four strangers who unintentionally meet on the rooftop of a London high rise on New Years eve to commit suicide has been watered down from the edgy novel by Hornby with a majority of the darker material omitted. What's left is an attempt at comedy that unfortunately isn't very funny most of the time.
Martin (Pierce Brosnan), Maureen (Toni Collette), Jess (Imogen Poots), and JJ (Aaron Paul) all had the same idea, find the tallest building in London on NYE and jump off it. After converging on the rooftop at almost the same time, they agree to make a pact and postpone their suicides until Valentine's Day to see if things improve.
The film doesn't explore the back-story about what brought each one of them to the point of wanting to end it all, instead they reveal to one another their situations. Martin, a once popular television host, lost his job and marriage after he slept with an underage girl who he thought was twenty five and so he served some time in prison. Maureen is a single mom who was overcome by the stress of living with a disabled teenager. Jess is a young girl who was dumped by her boyfriend, and JJ is a musician who tells the group he has brain cancer.
I like this cast but they are working with a script that makes the performances seem artificial, and judging by what was left out from the novel it seems like the film makers were a little scared of the material, so then why make the film.
At one time Johnny Depp had bought the rights to the book before it was published and he had hired writer D.V. DeVincentis (High Fidelity, Grosse Pointe Blank) to write the screenplay but for some reason when the rights came up for renewal, Hornby awarded them to his partner and another producer. It's a shame because I'm interested to see where Depp would have taken this story.

Union: Hospital Partnership Bad for StateBy Jeffrey Hess | Published 19 Apr 2012 05:03pm |
A partnership between the University of Mississippi Medical Center and a network of for-profit hospitals is drawing the opposition of a healthcare worker union. MPB's Jeffrey Hess reports.
Members of the Service Employees International Union say the partnership is bad deal that could negatively impact health care for Mississippians.
Jonathan Davis, an SEIU policy analyst, says Health Management Associates over charges patients and provides substandard care.
"This is because they have been possibly engaged in fraud. This is because they are charging patients significantly more than the state wide medical average even when compared to other for-profit companies. And this is because they have been associated with incidents that suggest low quality when related to that level of care," Davis said.
The company is under federal investigation for potential Medicare fraud but none of the company's 10 Mississippi hospitals have been named in that investigation.
The medical school is trying to expand the size of its yearly doctor class and The University Medical Center vice Chancellor James Keeton says the partnership would help provide additional doctors to teach the added students.
"For them? They don't do high end tertiary care such as transplants, level one trauma. They want access to that but we give access to that everybody. But this is a special relationship that allows us to help our education that is the number one reason we are doing this," Keeton said.
Keeton says these partnership are very common and that opposition to it is based on bad-blood between the union and hospital company, not driven by concern for the quality of health care for Mississippians.
The Mississippi college board is currently examining the partnership and could vote on it in an upcoming meeting.

Find an Extra Hour a Day
I open the refrigerator -- again -- and stare inside. Disappointment sweeps over me since, in the two minutes since I last opened it, a pan of lasagna has not materialized. Nor has a pot of beef stew. The trouble is not my lack of casseroles or that my kids are chanting they're starving or that my husband just walked in the door without a pizza box in his hands, though all this is true. The trouble is, I've fallen prey -- again -- to the most consistent time suck of my day: figuring out what to make for dinner.
The 10 minutes I typically waste every night gazing at kitchen appliances may not seem like much. But add in the three minutes it took to hunt for my daughter's boots this morning. And the five minutes I spent rearranging the piles of mail on the kitchen counter. And the 38 minutes it took to drive to the store for the milk I forgot to get yesterday. And, worst of all, the untold minutes that vanished during the 27 times -- yes, 27! -- I logged on to Facebook while I was at my desk, um, working. Minute by precious minute, my days disappear into a black hole. But I'm determined to turn this sorry situation around. I e-mail friends for time-saving tips. I poll experts and test-drive just about every idea I hear. And guess what?
I do it! I save an hour a day! Actually, I save more than an hour a day: I save my sanity. And you can do it, too.
Shopping for Groceries
Time Suck: I used to shop three times a week (often towing two kids), with a mental list I swore I'd remember. Then I'd spend 45 minutes more than I should because I'd backtrack to the dairy section six times.
Time Saver: Rule One: Leave the kids at home, even if you have to shop at night, after they're in bed. Dealing constantly with their demands for gum and Lucky Charms wastes time and money and creates unnecessary stress. Rule Two: A shopping list is critical. Some friends maintain theirs on phone apps like Grocery Gadgets (grocerygadgets.com). In our family an old-fashioned pencil-and-paper version works best. Before you leave, organize the list so it's department-specific: dairy, bakery, produce. Once you're in the store, stick to the list. I'm now in and out in half the time and save money because I resist impromptu "bargains," like the buy-one-get-one-free five-pound bag of shredded cheddar. At checkout, I group items according to where I'll put them at home and bag them the same way. And finally, shop once a week. Period. If you're out of something, deal with it.
Bonus Tip: For the rare (if you follow the rules above) times when you're caught short, stock these emergency nonperishables: Parmalat milk, frozen Egg Beaters, and Folgers Coffee Singles.
Making Dinner
Time Suck: Typically, I wouldn't think about a menu until I walked in at 5:30 p.m. to find I had no plan (somehow this always managed to surprise me). Hence the frequency of my Pasta and Jarred-Sauce Delight.
Time Saver: On Friday night I now thumb through a folder of recipes I've torn from magazines and write out menus for the next seven days on a notecard that I clip, with the recipes, to the hood of the stove. (For easy dinner ideas, go to LHJ.com.) It helps to think strategically: My friend Carla makes at least two meals a week -- marinated chicken on the grill and chicken tacos, say -- that involve the same main ingredient. She cooks all the chicken the first night, saving a second stint at the stove. Another pal deliberately makes extra every night in order to have a couple of nights of "Mom's Second-Chance Buffet."
Bonus Tip: If you have the freezer space, double the amount you're cooking and freeze half for another meal. (One of my friends triples her recipes, but our freezer just isn't big enough to do this.)
Getting Dressed
Time Suck: Every morning I'd stand in front of my closet, wrapped in my bath towel, waiting for a sign from the Outfit Gods. I'd put something on, look in the mirror, hate it, toss the clothes on the floor and start over. I'd do this anywhere from three to seven times.
Time Saver: Heed my mother's advice (I wish I had): Never purchase a top unless you have a bottom that goes with it, and vice versa. That way you'll never waste time hunting for a match for an orphan separate. (Dresses are one piece, so they rule your world.) One working mom I know writes down successful outfits -- from shoes to earrings -- in a notebook. At night she turns the page and, voila, she's set for the next day. If an item is in the laundry, all she has to do is flip the page. (Extra credit: Add photos.) For those willing to spend time to save time, check out the app Pocket Closet (pocketcloset.deepwell-software.com). Sure, you have to shoot photos of all your clothes, but you can then create outfits -- or let the app create them for you. The best part? It keeps track of what you wore when, so you won't show up at a client meeting in the same burgundy jacket you wore for the last one.
Bonus Tip: Decide on your outfit the night before. Keep a spray bottle filled with water in your bathroom. If something's wrinkled, spritz it and let it hang in the shower. Not only will it be dry in the morning, but it will also be wrinkle-free (or free enough).
Managing Mornings
Time Suck: Mornings at my house used to be chaotic, to put it mildly. I'd sprint from the shower to the kids' bedrooms, to my closet, to the kitchen to make breakfast and lunches, to the car to retrieve lunch boxes.
Time Saver: Personal productivity expert Peggy Duncan advises clients to do as much as they can the night before. "No matter how tired you are, there's more time then than in the morning." Pick your outfit, get the kids to pick theirs, set the coffeemaker, empty the dishwasher, make lunches, check the calendar to be sure everything you need (including keys) is packed and in a spot you call the "place I put stuff." Many experts suggest bathing at night, too, but my morning shower doubles as a shot of Red Bull.
Bonus Tip: Enforce a morning rule: No TV until the kids have gotten dressed, eaten breakfast, and brushed their teeth. Nothing motivates a child to move more quickly than withholding Degrassi.

The Buccaneers got some good news this afternoon on the injury front. Tight end Kellen Winslow, corner back Myron Lewis, running back Clifton Smith, and defensive tackle Brian Price were all back at practice today after missing the Miami game with injuries.
Corner back Aqib Talib, who missed the game due to personal reasons and was nursing a groin injury, was also back in practice today as well. This is good news for the Bucs as all of these players are going to play major roles this season and the Bucs need all of them healthy for the season opener.
Yet, while many of the Bucs are healing and getting back to practice, the injury bug has bitten another key player, Maurice Stovall. Stovall, the Bucs top receiver, will be sidelined and has been ruled out for game 2 of the pre-season with an ankle injury. This not good for the Bucs who have questions with experience at receiver coming into this season, but it is early in the pre-season and the rookies, Williams and Benn, had good games against Miami. Hopefully he will be ready by the season opener.

Featuring Tavia Yeung, Raymond Lam, Ruco Chan
His smile widened into a grin and I waited for him to say that he was delighted by my gesture, that he broke up with Kate, that he has fallen for someone, and that someone is me.
What I didn't expect was he leaned down to whisper my name. The sensation of his breath against my cheek was nearly causing my eyes to flutter shut. And I did. I closed my eyes and the next thing I felt was his lips against mine.
"What the—" A male's voice interrupts my kiss with him and I open my eyes immediately.
Here I am with another story. I don't know what I'm thinking posting this story because I haven't completed my other fiction "Dangerous Angel." In any case, I just wrote the first chapter of this fan-fiction for fun but I decide to post it anyway.
As for the theme/idea of the story, I originally intended it to be tragic and heartbreaking since I'm a sadist, but this time I will try to get out of my comfort zone and write something that is cheerful and light. Hence, I will warn you first that I might delete this story in the future because the writing is not that great and I suck at this type of genre.
Nevertheless, I hope you guys enjoy.
Here's my other fan-fictions. I hope you guys support these stories as well.

World War I Clothing for Travel
Also showing items for Warm World War I Clothing
Wool WWII Military Sweater
(Based on 11 reviews)
Category: Clothing/Men's Clothing/Sweaters
Part of standard-issue military wear during WWII, sweaters like this olive wool pullover were popular among servicemen for comfort, durability, and easy pullover warmth. The shawl-collar style buttons up to cut the cold just as it did onboard aircraft carriers in the '40s. Cotton twill canvas-reinforced elbows add durability. Imported.
Available colors: Navy, Olive
Available sizes: Medium, Large, XLarge, XXLarge
Leather A-2 Flight Jacket
(Based on 15 reviews)
Category: Clothing/Men's Clothing/Jackets and Vests
National Geographic performed an important service during World War II as we supplied maps to the Allies. Maps were often sewn in to the lining of the A-2 flight jackets in case the pilots were shot down over enemy territory. This is a reproduction of the historical WWII flight jackets, originally issued in 1931 and then worn by the allied pilots who flew perilous missions over wartime terrain, and the lining features a re-creation of the survival maps of southern France. A surface of vintage French lamb leather adds to the authenticity. Features include some of the customizations that pilots preferred, such as the wind flap, front zipper with storm flap, hidden snap-down collar points, knit cuffs and waistband, and flap-top and side-entry pockets. Imported.
Available sizes: Medium, Large, XLarge, XXLarge
Sheepskin B-3 Flight Jacket
(Based on 7 reviews)
Category: Clothing/Men's Clothing/Jackets and Vests
This authentic B-3 jacket became the military-issued cold-weather flight jacket in 1934, and it is still the warmest and most insulating bomber jacket made. Aviators in WWII bombers came to rely on their B-3 jackets as they often flew their missions over Europe in unpressurized cabins, where air temperatures could drop to more than 60 degrees below zero. Our B-3 is made from an amazingly soft and supple genuine sheepskin with a classic, aged look and deep-pile natural shearling along the body, sleeves, and collar. With double straps under the collar and straps at the waist that cinch to adjust the fit and keep out wind. Traditional leather welted seams and side-entry pockets are authentic details from the original. Made in U.S.A.
Available sizes: Medium, Large, XLarge, XXLarge
Fleece-lined Aviator Cap
(Based on 4 reviews)
Category: Clothing/Accessories/Hats
Intrepid WWI aviators and the barnstorming stunt pilots of the 1930s not only defied gravity but also braved subzero temperatures in their open cockpits. Popular ever since a famous cartoon beagle donned one to battle the Red Baron, these fitted caps offer warmth alongside vintage style. Wear the earflaps down, or flip them up and snap in place.

Research Interests:
My research interests focus on teacher education, especially the assessment of teacher education programs. I am also interested in assessing the effectiveness of youth activity and physical education programs. I regularly present at national conferences, and have published my work in the Journal of Teaching in Physical Education, Quest, Teaching and Teacher Education, Journal of Physical Education, Recreation, and Dance, and Strategies.
Another area of interest is the application of sport and exercise psychology principles to the teaching of physical education. I recently published a book in which I describe theories and research on sport psychology topics that have application to physical education, and provide specific ways that physical education teachers can apply psychological principles to the teaching of physical education.
Engagement Interests:
Each summer since 2004 I have worked with the Purdue Athletes Life Success Program (PALS; formerly the National Youth Sport Program). PALS is a free summer day camp for underprivileged youth in our community. There are two main purposes of the camp: (1) to help campers learn lifelong skills (i.e., respect, caring, trustworthiness, and responsibility); and (2) to provide physically active opportunities for campers. Each summer the camp serves approximately 300 youth, ages 8-16 who meet low income requirements. The camp runs 20 weekdays from June-July from 8 a.m. until 2 p.m. Throughout the years a variety of daily activities have been provided, including: swimming, volleyball, basketball, fitness, cooperative games, Sharbade, softball, tennis, soccer, track and field, health (drugs/alcohol and personal health), computers/writing, and art. Purdue University undergraduate and graduate students serve as instructors, team leaders, service learning supervisors, athletic trainers, discipline counselors, and character development specialists. I am currently working with other professors in our department to assess the program's effectiveness at achieving its goals.
The summer of 2008 I was Camp Director for the Operation Purple Camp at Purdue. Operation Purple Camps are sponsored by the National Military Family Association (NMFA) across the United States. These are free, week-long residential camps for children of military personnel who are deployed. There are two purposes for the camps: (1) to give campers the tools to deal with the stresses that result from a parent's deployment; and (2) provide a week of fun for the campers in an outdoor setting during a difficult time in their lives. The Operation Purple Camp at Purdue University was the joint venture of the Health and Kinesiology Department and the Military Family Research Institute (MFRI) on campus. Our camp served 45 9-15 years olds this summer. The Purdue camp was extremely unique; while other Operation Purple camps around the country were held on traditional outdoor camp sites, ours was one of the few held on a university campus. While this afforded our campers some special opportunities (e.g., easy access to computers for communication purposes, wide variety of campus services), it also provided us with some unique challenges (e.g., providing outdoor experiences on an urban campus, regular transportation needs and costs).

The New York Jets re-signed three of their would be free agents in recent days. TE Jeff Cumberland receieved a 3-year contract worth $5.7M. CB Darrin Walls was re-signed to a 2-year deal worth $1.9M. CB Ellis Lankster was re-signed to a 2-year deal worth $1.6M. The Jets didn't give them signing bonuses, choosing to go with roster bonuses instead. This will protect the Gang Green from having any dead money in the future in case if any of these players get cut before their contracts run out.

The Jets needed a boost following their blowout loss against the Tennessee Titans and they got from their rookie QB Geno Smith who played a mistake free game, leading the Gang Green to a 30-28 win against the Atlanta Falcons. For the first time in his five-game NFL career Smith did not turn the ball over, which was the key against Atlanta's high-powered air attack. Smith's confidence spread around the team. The defense, which is ranked #1 in the league after this game, finally came up with a turnover. Special teams that had hardly provided any help before this game finally did a good job on the returns. And then PK Nick Folk just continued being the team's folk hero, kicking the winning field goal as time expired.

The struggling New York Jets needed a spark and they got it when Rex Ryan finally did what he should have done weeks ago, as he benched QB Mark Sanchez and replaced him with QB Greg McElroy. The move paid off instantly when McElroy led the Gang Green to the game winning score on the first possession of his NFL career. He didn't put up impressive numbers, finishing the game 5 of 7 for 29 yards, 1 TD, but his arrival reenergized the seemingly lifeless team and put the fans back into the game.

TE Jeff Cumberland suffered a torn a torn Achilles' tendon in yesterday's loss to the Oakland Raiders. He will be placed on the injured reserve ending his season. This is a tough break for Cumberland who was poised to have a breakout year after impressing in preseason and catching 2 passes for 35 yards in the first two games.

The New York Jets opened preseason in Houston last night, losing to the Texans, 20-16. The first team offense was on the field for only two series, while the starting defense played for the entire first quarter. QB Mark Sanchez, who did not have WR Plaxico Burress to throw to, completed 6 of 7 passes for 43 yards, 0 TD, 0 INT. WR Santonio Holmes caught both passes thrown to him for a total of 17 yards. Recently signed WR Derrick Mason seemed to have already blended into the offense - 3 receptions for 21 yards. RB Shonn Greene had 5 carries for 32 yards, including a 19-yard run.

Does Rapid Naming Have Anything to Do With Dyslexia Symptoms?
In a word, yes, rapid naming directly impacts dyslexia symptoms. The ability to process information quickly directly impacts reading success. Problems with rapid naming lead to slower processing speeds. Two of the questions experts always ask regarding dyslexia symptoms is: "Does your child take too long to do their work? Do they skip or repeat words when reading aloud? These two questions are directly related to the ability to quickly retrieve information.
What Is Rapid Naming and Why Is It Important?
Studies have shown that children with reading deficits perform more slowly than children without reading difficulties on tasks that measure speed of processing. Almost three decades of research with the Rapid Automatized Naming Test (RAN) have demonstrated that the majority of children and adults with reading difficulties have pronounced difficulties when asked to name rapidly the most familiar symbols and stimuli in the language: letters, numbers, colors, and similar objects. This ability of automatically rapid naming is another aspect of phonologic processing. It is the phonologic access, the ability to retrieve easily and rapidly verbal (phonetic) information that is held in one's long-term memory. This ability to retrieve the stored information rapidly is directly related to the type of process that one goes through when they are reading. A child or adult must be able to access and retrieve the stored phonemes and/or word or word chunks that are stored on their memory at a quick rate in order to make sense of the written word.
Difficulty with rapidly automatically naming a series of objects, numbers, letters, or colors shows that reading difficulties are not just a difficulty with the phonological process (phonemic awareness). When the phonological component was taken out of the test, the speed-of-processing or accessing the information emerged as a stronger predictor of reading performance than phonological awareness tasks were.
From these studies we can conclude that there are several areas that need to be addressed when working to improve reading skills. Phonological awareness and processing is one subset of the multiple processes involved in reading, but it is not the only process involved. Visual naming of objects, letters, numbers, and colors represents an array of other skills that are involved with successful reading. These other skills include attentional, perceptual, conceptual, memory, lexical, and visual sequential processing.
Snyder and Downey (1995) report from the Denver Reading Study that the accuracy rates of those with reading difficulties and of those with normal achieving readers were not significantly different. The only significant difference noted was the reaction time and production duration; the readers with reading difficulties has significantly longer reaction times and production durations.
Solutions to Reading Fluency and Rapid Naming
The good news is that rapid naming practice alleviates several dyslexia symptoms quite rapidly. Studies from the University of Fl have shown that short sessions are over a period of several days are more effective than long sessions.

Compact High Flow Pump for Sludge
April 26, 2010
The hose pump can be used for challenging sludge applications, using no valves, seals or rotors in the product stream, the unit can run dry and handle high grit or air entrained sludge with ease. With flows up to 400 gpm, the pump is ideal for scum, thickener underflow, belt press or centrifuge feed, according to the manufacturer. With a self-loading design, hose replacement is quickly achieved where the pump sits. There is no drive realignment or off-site rebuilding of the pump required, significantly reducing maintenance cost. Advanced hose technology enables the unit to pump corrosives, abrasives, shear sensitive fluids, high viscosity fluids, high-density fluids, large solids and long stringy materials. Peristaltic hose pumps are virtually maintenance free with no expensive seals to replace, no check valves to clog, and no rotors and stators to wear out. Both pump rotors are always fully and centrally supported by their own high strength bearings. Materials are fully contained within the hose element and don't come in contact with the moving parts of the pump, preventing abrasive wear. The pump also provides easy access to shims and shoes, and the shaft design ensures fail-safe operations. Discharge pressure reaches up to 232 psi and operating speeds reach up to 30 rpm for continuous use and up to 38 rpm for intermittent use.

ROCHESTER, Minn. (KTTC) -- Monday the Rochester City Council took on the issues of smoking and drinking in the city.
And as a result of the meeting, there are now a few more places the two activities are banned.
The City Council approved a request to create a smoke free zone around the Rochester Public Library, and in the process also banned e-cigarettes in locations where smoking is already banned.
The new no smoking zone extends around the library but not the parking ramp on the block.
Library officials requested the zone because of the high volume of children and Mayo Clinic patients that use the library.
The law also expands the definition of smoking to include e-cigarettes, personal vaporizers and electronic nicotine delivery systems.
Those devices will also be banned in medical zones, in bus shelters and on Peace Plaza -- where smoking was already banned.
The council also added Central Park to the list of Rochester parks where drinking alcohol is banned.
Without a permit, alcohol in containers larger than two gallons is banned at all city parks, and already banned completely at Mayo Park and Foster-Arend.
Local park users had raised concerns to the council about behavior by those drinking in Central Park.
Alcohol will now only be allowed in the park if the park board issues a specific permit.
Monday was also the first official meeting for Ward 5 Representative Mark Hickey.
He took the Oath of Office at the start of the meeting.

Liberal Activists Overwhelm Opposing Voices at MSNBC's Immigration Town Hall
MSNBC's prime-time "town hall" on immigration reform yesterday exemplified one of the more unseemly elements of media bias: brazen political advocacy disguised as an "honest conversation."
Attempting to pass itself off as a forum for voices on all sides of the immigration issue to elevate the dialogue, "Beyond Borderlines" featured droves of liberal guests who dismissed, admonished, and overwhelmed only token conservative opposition.
From the outset of the program, conservative guests were disadvantaged and drowned out. The "conversation," which touched on a wide-range of issues related to immigration reform, was steered by hosts Lawrence O'Donnell, who is a self-described socialist, and Maria Teresa Kumar, who is executive director of Voto Latino, a liberal immigration reform group.
Mike Cutler, one of the few guests who offered a contrasting perspective on the issue, was repeatedly attacked by Kumar, who oscillated between the conflicting roles of questioner and answerer, and the other panelists.
When Cutler, who served 30 years as an INS agent, proposed enforcing federal law to deal with the estimated 12 million illegal immigrants currently living in America, Kumar snapped back: "I think what the picture that Mr. Cutler is providing, actually, would devastate the United States economy – period."
O'Donnell took over the reins from there, encouraging Rosario Dawson, actress and co-founder of Voto Latino, to gang up on Cutler: "Rosario, what we're hearing from Mike is the strict enforcement school. And it seems to me it sounds a little bit like Arizona on steroids. How do you think that [illegal immigrants] would react to the kinds of things Mike is talking about? Do you think we would see this mass migration back across the southern border of tens of millions of people because they can't get a checking account?"
Dawson's response, instead of helping to shed light on a complicated public policy issue, distorted Arizona's popular immigration law: "SB-1070 is a law that makes us have to go around and point to people, are you a criminal? No. Are you a criminal? How about you?"
The actor/activist's own solution for dealing with the current illegal immigrant population mangled the conservative perspective and invoked racial overtones: "We can't keep going back to old pieces of paper, because according to old pieces of paper, I'm not allowed to vote and as a person of color, you weren't even considered a full human being. So, that's why we need to inject humanity into this situation."
Building on the recurring theme of mischaracterizing those who oppose liberal solutions to immigration reform, O'Donnell reflected on Nevada Republican Senate nominee Sharron Angle's "demonizing" campaign ad, and Dawson hinted that Maricopa County Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio condoned "voter intimidation" to keep illegal aliens from voting in the 2010 election.
Later in the two-hour program, O'Donnell capitalized on a viewer tweet to take cheap-shots at Cutler and conservative opponents: "Many small govt types yell abt sending undocumented ppl 'back.' What size govt agency would they create to execute this?" After reading the tweet, O'Donnell pressed Cutler: "You have estimated 30 million undocumented people in this country. How many millions of government workers would you have to hire to move them back across the border?"
To his credit, Cutler remained calm under pressure, attempting to redirect the discussion away from such a blatantly partisan topic. But Kumar, refusing to let Cutler talk about the real issue, picked up where O'Donnell left off: "You keep criminalizing the undocumented and that's not acceptable because they're workers, right? They're workers. They're parents. And they serve in our military. That is not okay."
Kumar, O'Donnell, and Dawson paid lip-service to border security, but their unvarnished opinion on securing the southern border was apparent every time they spewed invective at Cutler for supporting strong border enforcement measures.
At the top of the show, O'Donnell introduced a video featuring residents of Fremont, Nebraska, who discussed their concerns over the influx of illegal aliens into their community. During the second-hour, Dolores Huerta, described by O'Donnell as a "legendary co-founder" of the United Farm Workers Union, accused the residents of Fremont of being racist:
When we talk about the people that were recruited to work in the meat packing plants in Nebraska, if those were Canadians, you would not have that problem that you are seeing there. It would be very, very different...It's against the people of color. It's against the people from Mexico and the people from Central America and Latin America.
For lobbing such a baseless and insulting accusation, Huerta received not one iota of criticism from the rest of the liberal panel.
To illustrate the extent of MSNBC"s duplicity, even one of the so-called "conservative" guests was brought on to scold conservatives. Alfonso Aguilar, executive director of a Latino Partnerships for Conservative Principles, lambasted Sharron Angle and Tom Tancredo, among others, who have "actually hijacked the discussion of immigration within Republican ranks." Aguilar also implored Republicans to fight for "something constructive that goes beyond just enforcement-only options."
Throughout the "conversation," O'Donnell solicited audience questions, comments, and emails, most of which reinforced the viewpoints of the liberal guests. One audience member alluded to her disdain for Cutler before railing against America's "colonization and marginalization" of Latin America.
Another audience member took a pot-shot at Susana Martinez: "Governor-elect from New Mexico, Republican, ran on the platform of fear and really enforcing immigration laws, but had no knowledge of the DREAM Act, which is one of the most prominent, you know, legislation that is actually going to be in the lame duck session hopefully this upcoming week."
One of the only fair-minded guests, Telemundo's Jose Diaz-Balart extended a genuine olive branch to Cutler and proponents of strict enforcement:
But let's also see if there's not a common ground that we can find with the ranchers that are in the Arizona border and that feel that they should have the right to not have untold hundreds of people coming through their property every week, and they don't know who they are, and they may be led by a guy with an AK-47, who back home in Mexico was cutting heads off. Everyone has a right to be safe.
Unfortunately, few of the guests and neither host shared Diaz-Balart's level-headedness.
As NewsBusters reported back in May, MSNBC's biased coverage of immigration reform is nothing new. The cable network's "A Nation Divided" series drowned out the conservative message with a deluge of liberal guests and loaded questions designed to advance the liberal argument. Just like its predecessor, "Beyond Borderlines" failed to live up to its name.

But the Republicans are in the majority now for the House at least and we can hammer them to start funding the wall, cameras, drones and troops to the border. Additionally, we have to demand accountability - when an illegal is picked up AN ILLEGAL IS DEPORTED!!

Whenever a liberal gets in the conversation, it immediately becomes a matter of race. I don't believe we have a problem with illegals (remember that word, against the law???) coming in from Canada. They come from our southern borders which are where Latinos live, and that's why the issue is pointed at those of Latino heritage. Everything isn't about race you stupid people!

who might be working on farms, I would have told O'Donnell that we don't have near as much a problem along any part of the Canadian border like we do along the Mexican border cause no one crosses the border either from Canada coming into the US or leaving the US going across into Canada do we Lawrence ? And then I would have said you know why Lawrence cause they enforce the laws up there hey !!!!

ACHTUNG! Meeting tonight!
Submitted by Herbster on Tue, 11/16/2010 - 6:29pm.
Cutler and Diaz-Balart were like two Jews at a Bund meeting! I watched most of this intellectual travesty "Moderated" by Lawrence O'Donnell and Maria Kumar - the Frick and Frack of today's Communist Party agenda. O'Donnell was in his usual arrogant mode and Maria Kumar had nice legs. Intellectually, she was right up there with Contessa Brewer. Kumar continually spouted leftist inanities in response to Mr. Cutler - and the audience made up of winners of the cretin of the week contest, would applaud......and look at each other as if to say, "What did she say?" The Huerta-hag piled on with the usual Marxist musings. O'Donnell used the usual snarky argumennts/comments in response to Diaz-Balart and Cutler. He used the Chris Matthews interrupt-the-conservative ploy continually. The audience was truly scary. Obviously recruited, (SIEU? La Raza?) types......low sloping foreheads and close set eyes types. Audience questions appeared to be more deeply planted than mrs. obama's sweet potatoes!
It was a farce, a travesty, with an agenda driven template, but at the same time, a lesson to be learned. These people are dangerous. They hold sway and influence over a large segment of the population by speaking in welcome platitudes and smearing any opposition with third grade "Logic" and mantras such as "Living in the shadows, breaking up families, etc." The appeal is to FEELINGS, not the intellect. Very dangerous. These folks are practicioners of "Change by incrementalism." Get the camel's nose under the tent...........then we move to step two.
In the 30's, the Germans said, "It can't happen here." But it did. We hear the same thing in our Country today - it can't happen here....but it IS happening. All you had to do was watch this propaganda push on TV last night. We live in dangerous times and need to wake up before it's too late. The barbarians are no longer at the gate - they are all around us.

Submitted by gruyere cheese on Tue, 11/16/2010 - 7:20pm.
I am for Immigration reform. Give Illegals an ID and temporary status with limitations.
They should:
Work, pay taxes, social security, medicare, pay for hospital visits, and abide by the law. However, as non-citizens they have to first become naturalized Americans in order to vote. That is the trade off.
I can guarantee you that IF, illegal immigrants have to pay to the Federal Government the way Americans do, having no money to send home to take care of the family and build their retirement home in their country, most of them will rather remain illegal. Because, they can work, get paid under the table, send money home, buy property in their country and move back when there time is up. The money they earn is not invested back in this country. Instead, is the American dollars that they send home that keep the economy moving in ther country, NOT THE US.
I am a naturalized American Citizen and I often ashamed of people like Ms. Rosario Dawson and this Maria Teresa "Kumar". They do not represent the rest of us Latino/Americans who love this country and work hard to be where we are.
I feel sorry for these Latinos who listen to the crap the Liberals feed them in the news! In the end, just like Obama's little auntie who lives in Boston, Latinos end up feeling as if this country owes them because they choose to come here and work in the farm fields or in the factories. This is their choice, they are not forced to come here at gun point.
These Latinos are not smart enough to see that this government is no different than the one in their country. They want you to be dependent of them in every sense of the way so they can intrude in your life and dictate your future and that of your family!

...to 30 million (depending on whose estimate you believe) people back to the southern border probably precludes just simply deporting them. But if you take away their jobs, lose the anchor baby provision and stop them from stealing from social programs then they'll go back voluntarily. That was proven in Arizona when immigrant neighborhoods became virtual ghost towns when SB 1070 was about to take effect, before a federal court gutted most of it. If every state had an Arizona type law the problem would solve itself

There is really no problem as it does not have to be intantaeous. Lest say you do a million per week, so in thirty weeks its done or even less but the trick is to do it. And to close the border. Once the illegal population knows we are deporting then they will start self deporting also. We need to plug the leak first by militarizing teh border.
It is imperative for national security we plug the border and stop the unregulated traffic. Who knows what is being smuggled accross?

The Ugly Truth
Submitted by Blonde on Wed, 11/17/2010 - 1:30am.
As many of my fellow NB'ers know, we spent 6 months this year in Latin America.
Guess what? Every single country there employs armed (could be cops, Army or Marines, depending upon the country) check points....where you MUST show your papers, and generally comply with any other requests, which include pulling over, opening your vehicle, allowing them to look through one's belongings, etc.
In many countries (the relatively richer ones, actually, bordering on the commie Nico & El Salvador)....the personnel at the checkpoints empty ALL buses....this is done to halt...illegal immigration!
Believe it or not, Mexico and Costa Rica have illegal problems....wierd, huh? Yet the Mexican Government decries our attempt at controlling illegals....going so far as to give aide and assistance (maps, etc.) to those who would bust the border.
We need to fire a hundred thousand DC bureaucrats, and replace them with armed border patrols, on horseback, in aircraft, in Humvees, all along our Southern Border. With loaded weapons. Any trespassers who won't stop on order, shoot first and sort it out later. This would do a couple of things....stop the drug lords, and the human traffikers. Oh yeah....strip Big Sis and dump her out in the middle of the desert....and let the animals sniff her junk. Get the lady's Freek off, once and for all (sorry, I am p'o'd about this TSA nonsense).
P.S. Speaking of "illegal" probs in Costa Rica (Uns will verify this)...one of our favorite restaurants was run by our neighbors, Jack & Penny (from Oz, legal, tho, LOL). It was right on the beach in Brasalito. There was a great little Mariachi band (3 guys)....we went there one day, and they were gone. Penny said the Costa Rican ICE guys rounded them up one day at lunch. They were back a week or so later.

I wish I could remember where the article was (American Thinker, maybe?). But some time ago I read a great article about what makes any nation's land their land is the willingness to keep it their land. The left does not have that willingness, I guarantee it. In the history of the world, parts of the globe have been inhabited by so many different cultures that anybody with a claim would find themselves just handing it back to the next people in line. Mexicans can whine all they want, there are enough Americans that call themselves 'Americans" who will fight to keep it.

It's a network all about liberalism or even radicalism - let it be only that. The problem is that second and third tier conservative talking heads are so desperate for face time that they'll agree to sit in what amounts to a dunk tank seat while Matthews, Schultz, et al throw balls at the target.
The thing is, liberals do not get shouted down on Fox - with the exception of O'Reilly who shouts down almost everybody.
