Doug Robinson: Welcome to NCAAland — a country completely independent of the U.S.
Scott G Winterton, Deseret News
Welcome to the country of NCAAland.
Maybe you've heard of it.
NCAAland exists right smack dab in the USA, but you wouldn't know it to watch the way it operates.
NCAAland denies basic individual rights and freedoms to its citizens — also known as "student-athletes" (or make that athlete-students). They are denied due process, they are denied the ability to earn a living from their labor, they are denied from making money from their own name or likeness, they are denied the ability to seek better opportunities elsewhere or come and go as they please. Meanwhile, in NCAAland, coaches and schools enjoy those privileges.
There are so many rules that it would make an IRS agent dizzy. But the point of all the rules is pretty much the same thing: Anything that benefits NCAAland is good, anything that benefits athlete-students is bad.
Let's look at some current cases to see how things work in NCAAland.
It has been estimated that Johnny Manziel, the Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback at Texas A&M, brought $37 million worth of media exposure to his school. Not only is he denied a cut of that money, he can't even sell T-shirts with his likeness or name. NCAAland has generously allowed him to sue anyone else who tries to do so, but in the process may have created another mess trying to make their own rules work. Where would the profits from such a lawsuit go since Manziel can't earn money from his name? No one's figured that out yet. Expect several elite college athletes to create copyrights and trademarks, then watch the NCAA rush to cover the loophole.
As a result of the infamous Jerry Sandusky child molestation case, the NCAA levied a $60 million fine against Penn State and a four-year bowl game ban. What does the NCAA have to do with criminal actions? This isn't a recruiting violation or an improper benefits case. Isn't molestation the jurisdiction of the law and courts? That's what Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett thinks. He filed a lawsuit saying the NCAA overstepped its authority and "piled on." No kidding. NCAAland has gotten so full of itself that it thinks it can augment legal remedies and demand a cut of the action.
"A handful of top NCAA officials simply inserted themselves into an issue they had no authority to police under their own bylaws and one that was clearly being handled by the justice system," Corbett said.
Pennsylvania passed a law that agreed to the penalties but restricts use of the $60 million to finance child abuse efforts only in Pennsylvannia. NCAAland, still full of itself, has filed a suit against Pennsylvannia.
Now we go from the serious to the silly. Last fall, BYU posted on the Internet an offer to sell its game jerseys. Simple? No. The laws of NCAAland forbid the school from selling jerseys with the player's name on it. Hence, this caveat on the website offering: "We will contact each fan who is selected to arrange payment. Please be aware that NCAA regulations require the player's name to be removed from these game-worn jerseys."
Translation: Only NCAAland can make money off players.
Joel Bauman is a sophomore wrestler at the University of Minnesota. In his spare time he has recorded songs and music videos designed to inspire youth. He sells them on the Internet. He would like to make a career of it someday, and now seems like a good time to prepare for it.
Instead of encouraging Bauman, NCAAland is trying to shut him down. NCAA rules demand that he remove his name from the songs and videos that he has posted on various websites or use an alias. He refuses, saying he has a message that can't be delivered anonymously. But the rules of NCAAland demand that he either comply or give up his wrestling career. He can either earn spare change with his songs, or keep his scholarship.

Giannoulias bill aims to green state government records
From press release
State Treasurer Alexi Giannoulias is encouraging state agencies to switch to sending and storing documents electronically—rather than keeping paper records—in an effort to save state money and resources.
The Government Electronic Records bill, which passed unanimously in the Senate State Government Committee, will enable government agencies and constitutional offices to transfer or distribute a record by e-mail or to retain an electronic copy whenever possible. In many instances, current state law—drawn up decades ago—does not allow agencies to e-mail documents or to store them electronically, requiring instead that they be printed for mailings and for storage.
Illinois is just one of three states that does not have legislation or guidelines encouraging electronic transmission and storage of documents.
"This bill will help bring state government into the 21st century in both a fiscally and environmentally-responsible way," Giannoulias said. "Making the switch to electronic records will not only help save natural resources, it will ultimately reduce costs associated with mailing, printing and storing documents as well as buying paper and envelopes."
The bill aims to reduce state agencies' reliance on paper, permitting them to employ a more cost-effective and environmentally-friendly method of document management without violating state statute.
The bill could allow for Illinois residents to receive notices to renew their driver's licenses or have their vehicle's emissions tested via e-mail, instead of mailed letters.
The bill creates the Electronic Records Advisory Board, which would develop best practices for state agencies to follow to implement electronic records management and retention policies by July 1, 2011. Every state agency and constitutional office would then use those guidelines beginning in early 2012 to promote the use of electronic means of creating, transmitting and retaining state records.
The bill would not require a state agency or office to transfer previously-archived documents to electronic format or require them to refuse to accept hard-copy documents for submission or filing. Agency directors would also have the discretion to consider a constituent's access to technology in deciding whether to distribute a document electronically to best ensure delivery.

BizQuiz: Do you have a clue about doctor pay? (Answer 5a)
5) A – Incorrect.
With adequate client demand, appropriate doctor staffing, and medically driven care, these usual suspects shouldn't be a problem.
I don't recommend incentive-based formulas when the caseload isn't large enough to keep all the doctors in a practice busy. But in practices with a sufficient caseload, I've seen only a few situations where competition—or service selection based on the dollars—occurred. Usually doctors don't have time to "turf" cases, and a bigger problem than doctors who drive up the costs is doctors who look for ways to save the client money.
You must never lose sight of why you do what you do—your patients' health and well-being. The medicine must drive the finances, not the reverse. If a doctor focuses on what's best for the patient, the dollars will follow. And if you do employ a doctor who treats patients based on the financial result versus the medical result, that doctor definitely doesn't belong in your practice.
So, you missed this one... Now you know. And if you want to learn more about doctor pay, you might be interested in our extensive list of articles.

Year in review: December 2012, 'District buys land for future stations'
Date: January 2, 2013
by: Pam Eubanks | Managing Editor
EAST COUNTY — Officials of East Manatee Fire Rescue are working to fulfill a promise made to voters in 2003 — better coverage for nearly every home in the district.
East Manatee officials closed Dec. 14, on two land parcels that will put nearly every homeowner in the district's boundaries within five miles of a fire station, once stations are constructed on them in future years.
"We're excited," East Manatee Fire Rescue Chief Byron Teates said. "It was a wise move on behalf of the district. We'll have about 95% of our district within five miles of a fire station (once those stations are built)."
The first property, currently an orange grove, sits on about five acres on the southwest corner of the intersection of State Road 64 and Dam Road, just west of The Concession. The second parcel, now sod fields, is located near the northeast corner of State Road 64, immediately west of the Panther Ridge community's western border.
"We know there (are projects) already being planned for out there (but we don't know when they'll be built)," Teates said. "The bottom line is it's not going to be any cheaper in the future to buy this property. The most important thing is (we got property) where we need the stations, not where we would have to settle for (once development occurs)."
Teates said stations will be built on the properties as growth in the area demands, likely not for another three-to-five years.
East Manatee purchased the properties from Lakewood Ranch developer Schroeder-Manatee Ranch for $922,000. Teates said the district has been saving money for such a purchase and did not have to take out a loan to finance the deal.
Money used for the transaction came from savings from an ad valorem assessment that passed a public referendum in March 2004 and went into effect late that year. The district had lobbied for the ad valorem assessment, starting in 2003, because special assessments for services were not keeping up with growth, Teates said.
As part of a pledge to voters, district officials told constituents the money would be used to complete coverage of East Manatee's district — areas that will be serviced directly by stations on those properties.
Once built, the stations also will help to reduce insurance premiums and improve insurance options for homeowners in those areas, he said.
Teates also said the district has no plans to purchase additional properties.
"That's not to say density doesn't change, but based on what we see this (is all we will probably need)," Teates said.

Ellen Kardashian Sues Kris, Kim, Khloe and Kompany for Defamationby Hilton Hater at . Updated at . Comments
Ellen Kardashian - the widow of Robert Kardashian, who previously sold journal entries from her late husband to the tabloids - has sued Kim Kardashian and her family for defamation.
Ellen names Kris, Kim, Khloe, Kourtney, Rob and Ryan Seacrest Productions in her legal documents, arguing that reality show producers involved her in a recent series storyline that included a private investigator trying to sell her information.
Robert's widow says she refused the bait, but that the mission of the show/family was to make her look like a bitter gold-digger.
Ellen then goes into detail about how the Kardashian insulted her on their program, alleging that she married their dad for money.
In the lawsuit, she also refers to Kris Jenner as a "manipulative and devious mother and ex-wife who simply used and exploited her children." She is seeking unspecified damages.
The rivalry between Ellen and her step-children has been raging for years.
The Kardashian kids actually filed a lawsuit against her this spring, but later dropped it because Ellen did have legal grounds for leaking Robert's journal entries.

Robot chicken: popular television show or crispy chicken dish in a sweet, tangy sauce? At Kung Pao Bistro, it's the latter. The Chinese eatery packs a huge selection of meat, vegetarian, fried rice, and noodle options on its menu. While the chefs specialize in traditional Hunan, Sichuanm and Cantonese dishes, guests will also notice other Asian and American flavor influences in their meals, which are prepared using house-made organic chicken broth and high-quality soy and wheat meat substitutes when desired.
From Chick 'N Chow's tables, which flaunt the rosy crimson hue of a bowl of sweet-and-sour sauce, soups launch warm steam alongside kosher and vegetarian dishes. Entire rotisserie chickens emerge from trips to a fryer with a golden cloak and satisfying crunch, and the menu also cheers dieters with low-calorie steamed dishes topped with broccoli that spells out encouraging affirmations. Beneath a fan painted with a traditional landscape, diners gather to-go containers, and delivery drivers tote bags laden with lo mein and memos from telecommuting fortune cookies.
Cooking seminars are normally scheduled Tuesday–Saturday at 7 p.m., with an additional Saturday afternoon class at 3:30 p.m. Click here for a sample menu.
Le Chine Wok sizzles up an MSG-free spread crowded with spicy Chinese, Thai, and Vietnamese dishes. Fresh and natural ingredients pepper the menu, turning taste bud against taste bud in intense palatal debates between sea-centric plates such as the candied walnut shrimp or spicy soft-shell crab with serrano peppers ($15.95 each). Dishes, such as the basil eggplant chicken ($12.95), send sweet aromas drifting through the dining room, and the boneless smoked duck is prepared over burning tea green-tea leaves to absorb complex flavors and fortune-telling abilities ($16.95).
Liliya China Bistro's comestibles curators craft authentic Mandarin and Korean-Chinese cuisines using fresh ingredients for dinner and lunch. Four vegetable egg rolls make for flavorful starters or hair curlers, paving the way for heartier eats, such as mongolian beef ($12+) or spicy shredded pork soused in hot garlic sauce ($12+). Otherwise, diners can select from the large stock of seafood spreads, noodle dishes, or vegetable-based entrees, which include a spicy mabo bean curd ($12+) and bok choy mushroom ($12+). During afternoons, guests can peruse the cast of savory midday eats, including bulgogi bedecked with marinated chicken ($9.50), beef ($10.50), or pork ($9.50). Or they can opt for a helping of shrimp, which comes to tables performing an aquatic dance within a sea of lobster sauce ($9.25). Each lunch entree arrives at tables equipped with a savory regime of salad, rice, and soup of the day.
This Los Feliz favorite for Chinese cuisine offers just enough fancy – white tablecloths, red lacquered walls, dim lighting and a hopping bar with signature mai tais – to make it romantic for a date, but it also remains family-friendly. The Palace is family owned, and features traditional Chinese harp music every Friday, Saturday and Sunday night, adding a lively artistic ambiance. Szechuan, Mandarin and Cantonese cuisines spin out traditional and authentic favorites like soup dumplings, lettuce wraps, crab rangoon and barbecue ribs to start; tangerine shrimp, sizzling scallops, Szechuan peppery chicken and Beijing duck are offered as mains. There's a big vegetarian menu featuring dishes like mapo tofu and snow peas with fresh water chestnuts, and plentiful fried rice and pan-fried noodle dishes. The restaurant features a private upstairs banquet room that occasionally hosts live entertainment, and offers delivery to the neighborhood.

Forget what you've heard about being your own worst enemy. In Perception, it's friends and family who really screw a girl over. That girl, Jen, is played by Piper Perabo with a disarming lack of annoyance. She's your run-of-the-mill caustic Brooklyn weirdo, until an oncoming truck lands her in a high-tech wheelchair. Suddenly, she's wearing headbands, grinning with Perabo's famed elasticity, and cruising to a quick recovery.
This should be funny or sad, but it's neither, in this incoherent cross between Riding the Bus With My Sister and a Christina Ricci vehicle. Just when Jen's back on her feet, the real problems start: heroin addicts, lunatic parents, a flight to Pakistan, and a series of utterly predictable demises. The problem, we learn, is her "perception," but what does perception have to do with a strung-out physical therapist and a gun-wielding, vegan ex-girlfriend? That's cool, though; Jen's looking as chipper as Gwen Stefani in her new tracksuit. It's so hip to be chaired.

when i submitted my tm application i did not include any pseudo marks, now my mark has been registered for about 6 months and I want to request to add a pseudo mark to my registration. dug around uspto website for 2 days. only thing that is relevant is the Misc. Forms section then form 1: voluntary amendment not in response to open action letter. the description indicates a section 7 form request is required (but very unclear). but that form is only for immaterial changes and adding a pseudo mark would be a material change (the certificate does not include pseudo mark info so it would not change) but the uspto database would change; for material changes it says see TMEP Section 1609.10(a). but that talks only about USPTO errors, this is not an error; what form to use please!?
A pseudo-mark is a spelling variant of a word mark for which a registration is being sought. The Trademark Office intake department adds pseudo-marks to an application so the applied-for mark, and the registration when it issues, is found when a similar mark is searched. See the linked-to information below. A trademark registration applicant, or even a trademark registrant, cannot ask the Trademark Office to add a pseudo-mark to the registration's file history.
A pseudo mark is a word that is an alternate spelling or intentionally misspelled version of a word that is protected by an existing similar mark. Pseudo mark is a designation the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) assigns to marks that has an alternative meaning or spelling. The USPTO assigns pseudo marks in their database to assist in the trademark search process. The pseudo mark label does not show up on the registration certificate. This categorization has no legal significance.
Why do you ask this? Either you are an unusually sophisticated searcher of the USPTO database who wishes to ensure that even a clueless searcher will turn up your registration and back off ... or you are unaware that the pseudo mark field in a record of the USPTO database is without legal significance.
I look forward to learning what a "pseudo mark" is.
Your only legitimate concern would be if someone were to file an application for a mark that sounds like your registered mark. Normally the examiner will pick up on this. If not, your opportunity will be to file an opposition and also to sue for infringement if they actually use the same-sounding mark in your industry. Perhaps in future the PTO will allow such suggestions but right now they control this (hidden) aspect of their database. See TMEP 104.
First, let's tell you what a pseudo mark is:
"The pseudo-mark field shows the literal equivalent of a pictorial representation of wording in a design mark, and/or spellings that are similar or phonetically equivalent to wording in a word mark. The assignment of pseudo-marks to electronic records is performed by the Trademark Office within the USPTO. "
You not only can, but are encouraged to submit such suggestions, as the USPTO wants to make its search algorithms LEARN and IMPROVE so better searches are done.
In fact, when a trademark application is submitted, it is standard practice for the USPTO to send out a pseudomark notice informing an application that a pseudomark has been entered into the pseudomark field in the database for this mark. That notice is specifically to allow opportunity to suggest corrections or additions. I have received literally hundreds of these notices. I have to say that I only recall disagreeing twice with such a notice. In fact, generally receiving such a notice is a GOOD THING as it means your registration probably covers that pseudomark as well. In other instances the pseudomark is being cited because the examiner is setting up to reject you for similarity to a registration for the pseudomark. So when you get one of these you need to immediately get on TESS and see if that is the case as you need to let your client know right away. It might be malpractice not to do that. I would be willing to testify that failure in that regard is malpractice.
How common are these pseudomark designations? Extremely! In fact, the USPTO said in 2007 that since 4/4/2006 it had sent out 86,000 such notices. The number now is likely closer to a million.
This is a relatively basic concept to most experienced trademark attorneys, but foreign to many attorneys, even ones that submit trademark applications on occasion. And these can be a trap for the unwary or novice, as can misapplication of the TESS search algorithm.
As to how to submit these, see the "Christmas Day Notice" from last year found at http://www.uspto.gov/web/patents/patog/week52/O...
Or just submit them to firstname.lastname@example.com
Note that what you are actually submitting is a request for addition to the search algorithm so it is not so much a correction to your registration as a correction to the TESS algorithm that you are requesting. What you want to happen is that when someone searches the pseudo mark they bring up your mark as an obstacle and so they don't choose the psuedo mark or if they file on the pseudo mark they get rejected. This is, in fact, a very powerful and inexpensive tool we trademark litigators use to advantage to bolster cases. If we, as plaintiff, can get the USPTO to enter the defendant's mark as a pseudo mark of plaintiff's mark, the defendant's case on likelihood of confusion is thereafter on life support.

My poor Bionic! I need help with this ICS on my Bionic. (Going Crazy!)
Thursday 25th of October 2012
I have nothing but great things to say about the Bionic phone. It has been, hands down the best phone I've used on Verizonwireless! I cannot say nothing but great things about this phone on GB. So I get the app to update to ICS and boy that was a HUGE MISTAKE! Now I cannot stand this phone! I need help with a couple things... Turning off LTE... I see the option... I just cannot click on it to do this, why would Verizon do that?! There are other settings that are there that you cannot use and it's like Verizon is going, hahahaha, you can look, but you cannot touch lol. I have tried every app in the Google Store and nothing seems to be working for me. This is killing my battery! This is the forth time I am charging my phone today, and I can normally get away with charging my phone like twice in a day, sometimes 3 times. A one last charge before bed. But this is horrible, 4 times? My battery was never like this. My phone is also getting very hot as well. It did this once in a while but all day it has been hot. An update is suppose to be better on the phone, not worse! My emails keep

I need help with a Google Nexus 4 on Straight Talk with an AT&T sim card
Saturday 29th of June 2013
I had Virgin Mobile locked in at $25/month and after moving recently the service wasn't very good in my house. I decided to switch providers and my phone was getting old anyway, so I made the switch to straight talk with an AT&T sim card from ebay for $50. I'm avoiding t-mobile for the same reason - it won't have very good service in this area. I used the APN settings listed on straight talk's website, and the data works, and I can send picture messages, but can't receive them. It's an annoying issue that I can't find a solution for. I've tried a few different APN settings, but none have worked and just stop all data function completely. I've tried talking to straight talk customer service, but it was a complete waste of time. Their solution is basically reset the phone and try the same thing over and over. I hung up after an hour today. My parents actually have galaxy S2s on straight talk with AT&T sims, and I tried copying their APN settings and it still didn't work. Help? Possible solutions:1. Correct APN settings or some other setting that quickly fixes the issue2. Switch

Hello from Montreal - I need help with a Hipstreet Flare 2
Sunday 02nd of February 2014
Hi everyone, I saw a mention of you guys on youtube and thought I would give it a try since I can't reach the manufacturer until tomorrow. I bought a Hipstreet Flare 2 tablet for my daugther at Christmas. This morning, it won't boot up. It gets stuck at the welcome screen (Hipstreet Flare 2 logo) and won't go any further. We tried shutting it down and starting it up again a few times, nothing. It worked great until last night. Any tips on what I should do? P.S. couldn't find the right section to post it in (sorry about that).

Researchers from Uppsala University and the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) have contributed to the study by analysing genes that played a key role in the evolution of the domesticated pig and by mapping endogenous retroviruses (ERV), retroviruses whose genes have become part of the host organism's genome.
The findings are now being published in the journals Nature and PNAS.
Together with an international team of geneticists and retrovirologists, Uppsala University researchers have charted the pig genome.
"The pig is one of our most important domesticated animals, and it was high time for its genome to be mapped," says Professor Leif Andersson, who participated in the project.
The major project to chart the pig genome shows that the wild boar originated in Southeast Asia about 4 million years ago. The findings also reveal that domestication started nearly 10,000 years ago, taking place in several independent locations all over the European and Asian land mass. It was also common that wild boar mixed with domesticated pigs, especially in Europe during early agriculturalisation, with free-ranging animals.
Uppsala researchers Patric Jern, Alexander Hayward, Göran Sperber, and Jonas Blomberg used the computer program RetroTector and detailed sequence comparisons in so-called phylogenetic studies to map the retrovirus part of the pig genome. What all retroviruses, such as HIV in humans, have in common is that they need to become part of the host cell's genome in order to produce new viruses. When a germ line-cell is infected there is a chance for the virus to be passed on to the host organism's offspring, and for millions of years retroviruses remotely related to HIV have colonised vertebrates, leaving traces in their genetic make-up as endogenous retroviruses (ERV).
The researchers were able to see that pigs have fewer ERVs than humans, however, unlike human ERVs, some pig ERVs have the capacity to reproduce and infect, which might pose a risk when transplanting pig organs to humans. The article constitutes a baseline for assessing that risk, but it also provides an enhanced understanding of how retroviruses have spread among vertebrates in the course of their evolution.
Carl-Johan Rubin, Leif Andersson, and their associates have been in charge of looking for the genes that have had the greatest importance in the evolution of the domesticated pig. One of the most striking differences between the wild boar and the domesticated pig is that the latter has a considerably longer back, including more vertebrae. The researchers have now identified three gene regions that are critical for understanding this difference. Two of them correspond to genes that explain variation in body length in humans, another instance of genes having a very similar function across different species.
Domesticated animals constitute excellent models for evolution, and the new study shows how white colour developed. The gene variant for white colour in pigs differs from the gene variant found in wild boar, with at least five different mutations, four of which are duplications of DNA sequences. This is the most striking example of two key discoveries the Uppsala scientists have made in recent years, that:
- structural changes in the genome (e.g. duplications) have contributed significantly to the evolution of domesticated animals.
- the evolution of domesticated animals has been underway for so long that we can now see the evolution of gene variants, that is, genes in which several successive mutations gradually changed the function of the gene.
The findings are now being published in Nature and PNAS:
Groenen et al. (2012) Pig genomes provide insight into porcine demography and evolution, Nature, DOI: 10.1038/nature11622
Rubin et al. (2012) Strong signatures of selection in the domestic pig genome. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (USA), DOI: 10.1073/pnas.1217149109

Clinton Sparks - Favorite DJ
Artist: Clinton Sparks
Producer: Clinton Sparks
Album: The Brighter Side of Dark
Avg Rating: 2.7 ( 24 votes )
Shade 45 DJ Clinton Sparks always seems to have his name in the spotlight, whether it be his beats, the 838,439,489 (actual number) of mixtapes he's done, or his frequent appearances on your television. Now, with the help of Jermaine Dupri and DJ Class, Clinton Sparks drops his new track Favorite DJ, off his currently unscheduled new album The Brighter Side of Dark. Produced by Sparks himself, astute listeners may recognize the Baltimore club music rhythm that made DJ Class a household name with his single I'm the Ish. Vocally, Class' auto-tuned verse sounds pretty much like your standard DJ Class verse, followed closely by JD, who gives us a 16 bar effort that's not spectacular, but is enough to keep the flow going. Throw in some repetitive hooks and your standard "Simon Says" from the DJ, and I'm not sure Sparks will succeed in his mission to have Favorite DJ played in clubs and house parties everywhere. But what do the DJs in the DJBooth think? Are you ready to claim this track as your new anthem, or has it fallen short…like JD?

Stylists play offense to render haircuts, dye tresses, and condition locks to achieve the best-looking 'dos possible. Aestheticians show why they are the stalwart defenses of cosmetology; they wax fuzz, administer spray tans, and treat complexions to thorough, relaxing facials. Nail technicians do their part by gussying up all 20 digits, and massage therapists take care of any residual stress by kneading muscles or pretending they are Ringo Starr and your back is a brand-new snare drum?Ringo is a gentle drummer.
The guiding philosophy at Love Yoga Massage can be summed up in two words: "No Om." Here, fitness, stretching, and massage carry more weight than getting zen. The studio's huge list of classes is categorized in groups such as Hot Yoga, Flow Yoga, and Zumba. In addition to yoga classes, Love Yoga offers Thai yoga therapy, which combines traditional Thai massage with Western medicine and massage practices.
Seven days a week, the therapists at May's Foot Reflexology massage specific points on clients' feet, stimulating their nervous systems to boost overall health. The treatment can help the body recover from strain and stress, improve sleep quality, and even prevent issues such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and a resurfacing childhood fear of "This Little Piggy." For female clients, the therapists include a free upgrade to massage lotion infused with shea butter, jojoba oil, and other skin-softening ingredients.
Celebrating its 10-year anniversary in 2012, Styles Hair Studio enhances its clients' natural beauty with hair, nail, and waxing services doled out by an experienced team. Each stylist and colorist takes part in continuing education to stay ahead of current styling techniques and other contestants on Beauty Jeopardy! The TIGI Professional salon also holds an annual Cut-A-Thon to benefit local school and charities, including the American Cancer Society.

BOGOTA, Colombia (AP) -- Colombia's foreign minister says Venezuela decided unilaterally to close the countries' shared border nightly, and her government does not believe it will have the desired effect of diminishing food and gasoline smuggling.
Maria Angela Holguin's statement to reporters Wednesday contradicted reports by official Venezuelan media that the two countries' presidents had agreed on the measure during an Aug. 1 meeting.
Local officials on both sides of the border complained that the 10 p.m.-5 a.m. closure that took effect Monday night will hurt the thousands of Colombians and Venezuelans who work on opposite sides of the 1,400-mile (2,200-kilometer) frontier.
Venezuela also sent 17,000 soldiers to the region to enforce what Venezuela has called a 30-day trial closure.
Venezuela has the world's cheapest gasoline and sells many basic foodstuffs at subsidized prices.

A 36-year-old Plover man will spend three years on probation after he's convicted of conspiring to break into cars and businesses last summer.
Plover Police say they received a report of suspicious activity near Dan's Liquor on Post Road. An officer responded to the area around 3:30 a.m. August 25. According to the criminal complaint, as he shined his spotlight two people ran from the scene.
Eric Harvey, 36, and Kelly Patton, 30, were arrested at the scene. Prosecutors say Harvey admitted he was looking for scrap metal and considered breaking into car looking for money. Police say they recovered a hammer wrapped in a towel near the scene.
Harvey reached a plea deal with prosecutors in May. He pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit burglary and resisting an officer.
According to the criminal complaint, Patton left her two children, ages 2 and 3, sleep unattended at Harvey's house. She received a similar deal in May and was also ordered to spend three years on probation.

For some reason this turns me off Cruz.
He looks way too much like a politician, or a "give me your tithes so I can enrich myself" preacher. Just something a little slimey about him.
That's just a feeling.
The biggest thing I don't like about him is he is on the warmongering side of the spectrum. So to have him preaching the gospel of Christianity doesn't sit well with me.

i wasn't going to do april goals since i've been slacking so much lately. coming to the realization yesterday that i have, finally, lost 10 lbs made me realize that i need to make goals and be more alert to how i'm acting and what i'm doing. so i have made the same tired goal i make every month, day, week, etc. work out! i obviously need help in this department. it's also really the only thing i have no valid excuses to not do. i use the weather excuse, but i've got tons of in-home exercise stuff at my disposal. i use time, but i've got plenty of time. i could probably easily work out 5 hrs a day. not continuous on all days, but some. yes, i have a sad life. though i could make it less sad.
seriously, here is a work day for me:
4:00-alarm goes off so i can get up to work out. i push snooze til 5:30. shower, breakfast, net time. leave for work at 7:15-ish.
7:45-5:00: work.
5:30-ish: home from work. clean kitchen, vacuum, laundry, etc. start dinner.
6-ish: eat dinner
6-ish-10ish: eat dinner, clean kitchen, watch tv/movie, read, etc. bed time.
yup, there is easily 2 hrs in there i could squeeze in a workout.
but this is nothing compared to the weekend:
6:30- getting out of bed. i am always up by 6:30 on the weekends. it's a curse from doing it my entire life. doesn't matter what time i go to bed. even if it's 4 am.
now, the remainder of my day depends on what i have planned. if i'm grocery shopping i will be at the store by 8. if i'm meeting people for something it's usually around 10. if i have nothing planned i clean. so my mornings are sometimes active. but most weekends, especially in the winter, i sit on the couch and watch tv all day. in the spring/summer i'll be outside working in the yard or sitting on the back deck.
if i have plans at night i usually don't do anything til around 8. i start dinner around 6.
so why the heck am i not spending a couple hours a day working out on the weekends?! what the heck is wrong with me?! maybe i feel it's cutting into my tv time. i must change things.
there are a lot of 100 day challenges going on right now. i've decided to partake. i'm going to start tomorrow and i will have a full plan at that time. right now i'm leaning towards 100 days of working out. again, it's what i can afford to do and i've got plenty of time to do it. i really want to do a clean eating thing, but money is very tight so food is not the greatest, but it could be worse! i'm basically just not getting enough food. today for instance: breakfast was an egg sandwich on a whole wheat english muffin with a glass of ff milk. lunch will be leftover spaghetti and i have a low-fat string cheese for snack. then dinner is more leftover spaghetti with homemade bread. and milk. see, not a lot of food there. i will be hungry and if i'm lucky i won't eat the ice cream in the work freezer and no one will bring any wonderful snacks in to temp me. like donuts. cause i'm gonna be too hungry to use the amount of willpower it will take to say no. i do wish i worked somewhere where everyone's idea of bringing in a treat was fruit or something else healthy. right now i am out of fruits and veggies and have no other snack foods at home. my fridge is "stocked" with eggs, cheese, half-gallon of milk pickles and lunch meat. can't wait til i get paid on wednesday.
so, i'm guessing a 100 day challenge of working out will be the best bet for me.
i'm really hoping my hours will be given back to me at work in the next week or 2. hopefully today. that would be another $100 on a paycheck and i could really, really use that money. i've been struggling since november. i can't do it anymore.
sorry this got so long winded. i really only came on here to post my goal for the month. thanks for reading! i'm going to review my march goals and see if i accomplished anything. i'll report back tomorrow with my 100 day challenge and a plan to support it.
this morning before work i was standing out back with a co-worker while she smoked. we were talking and i kept saying what's that noise, do you hear that? it was this weird smacking noise. after a minute or two it got louder and faster. suddenly the other weird noise with it got louder and it was a kid screaming! a kid was being beaten on the other side of the fence! neither of us had a phone, go figure, so i ran back inside, out the front door across the parking lot and down the sidewalk to that block. we had no idea what the street was called so i had to find out to call 911. i called them and was so out of breath i was having trouble talking and trying to slow my breathing at the same time.
i'm not sure if i was of any help for this kid. i don't have the exact address or know which house it was coming from. it's a bad neighborhood. i could only give 911 the street. there's an alley behind our office and a privacy fence seperating it from the backyards of that neighborhood. we hear weird things all the time, but never this upsetting.
anyway, it took forever for my heart rate to slowdown and i still feel shaky. though i think that may be more cause of how upset i was. i tummy still feels icky, i have some major nerves going on.
i have always wondered while watching movies and tv shows, what if? what if i had to run? what if it was life and death, mine or someone else's, and i had to run, but couldn't? now i kind of know and it's not a good feeling. i've let myself become so out of shape and unhealthy it could easily hurt me and someone else. i mean, i ran a good distance, but by the time i got there, i was out of sorts. i was shaky, out of breathe, my eyes were watering, etc. i realize this was part due to being out of shape and being freaked out, but still. i could have reacted better.
i'm going to learn from this.
i feel awful.
i realized yesterday that it was the first day of spring and i was falling seriously behind on my goals for the year. the biggest one being that i'm trying to lose 100 lbs this year. by the end of this month i need to have lost 25 lbs. um yeah, i'm way off track!
i made a list of goals to help refresh where i want to be a year (or less) from now. i thought about the goals i had made last year and what i need to do get them accomplished. i feel better this morning and i feel like their is hope. i can do this! i just need to get out of my winter rut and focus.
thank goodness it's the last day of february. february 2010 was awful, so i had high hopes for february 2011. i was gonna be prepared to not let the winter blahs get me down, i was gonna workout, focus on eating. i was gonna make a change! it all started out well. til i hurt my knee. downhill slide! i couldn't finish the 30 day shred. i couldn't find a workout that i felt was a proper workout that didn't bother my knee. so i gave up. which i'm pretty mad at myself about.
i'd like to regain my focus and get back on track in march. i'm going to find a workout that doesn't bother my knee and makes me feel like i've accomplished sonething. it's not %100 yet, but it's definitely feeling better. probably still not able to do squats which saddens me as i love squats!
my main focus for march is to eat better and track what i eat. i'm still really bad about tracking. especially if i eat something bad.
i know if i can get eating and working out both into a nice routine i'll be unstoppable. but first i need to get a steady ball rolling on one. i can do this, i will do this!
I�m beginning to feel unmotivated. I�m not surprised, it is February after all. I have been doing pretty well this year, which I have to remind myself of everyday. Look what you�ve accomplished! Still the past week or so I�ve felt unmotivated.
I�ve been doing the 30 day shred all month and I�ve been very proud of myself with that. But my knee has been bothering me. I woke up Saturday morning and it was so swollen and sore I could barely move it. So I decided to work out to see if that would help. It didn�t. I was on day 11 of 30ds and day 1 of level 2. I did the workout but I couldn�t fully do the lunges, squats, etc. So I decided to postpone the 30 ds and focus on some lower intensity stuff. I did that Sunday and it was much easier. I also iced my knee throughout the weekend. It does feel better now, but still some pain when I move it too much or not enough. I�ve taken today and Monday off from working out just so I don�t hurt it further or cause lasting issues.
But let me tell you, giving up on the 30 ds has really gotten to me! I feel like a failure! I know the only reason I�m not doing it is because of my knee, but it�s been difficult to accept that.
I�m totally broke and wasn�t able to get all the food I needed to have proper snacks on hand so I�ve been eating pretty poorly the last week or so. I feel like I�m losing control of everything.
Combine that with my usual winter blahs that come around every February and you have me feeling pretty darn bummed. I just want to curl up on the couch and go to bed at 7 every night.
I hate feeling like this. I know where it leads. It leads to what 2010 became when I let these feelings get the best of me and they just kept getting worse and I kept gaining weight til I hit my highest weight ever. I�m so scared of failing right now. I had great expectations for this year and right now I feel as though they are completely unattainable.
Tonight I�m going to go through the journal I was keeping at the beginning of last year and through some of the blogs I�ve posted here (reading all your great comments always helps!) to try and get some frame of mind about where I was 2 months ago, last year, even last week. I do not want to fail again! I can�t!
I just need to get out of this funk.

Celebrity Style: Nicole Richie in Mason and Givenchy
Celebrity Style: Nicole Richie
by Fashion 22 Reactions 0 Shares Print
Nicole was out and about this weekend in a laid-back but, of course, stylish outfit. It's always all about the accessories with this girl, and this is no exception. She added a harder edge to her taupe Mason ruched tank and favorite skinny jeans with some rather fierce Givenchy peep toe heels and her trusty Balenciaga bag. This is a look the average Betty can easily put together herself, minus the big designer names — you know what I mean. We all have a pair of fierce heels in our closets and with Nicole as inspiration for how to wear them during the day, I just might break mine out.

Coming up roses
In spring this year, me and my son planted a small rose bush in one of the wine barrels seen in the pictures. For good measure we threw in a handful of other random seeds as well, as we didn't have a clue about what would actually thrive in that environment. It turned out that the seeds turned into a massive wall of flowers that completely covered that small, poor rose bush. I had completely forgotten about it if it weren't for a stubborn red dot, seemingly hanging in the air, that I noticed one day outside the window. So now, mid November, finally, our rose bush is blooming.
There is something about the stubbornness of this rose, the fact that it blooms all alone so late in the year and the coolness of its red color that makes me think about Serge Lutens La Fille de Berlin.
If you'd choose a perfume to represent this rose, which one would it be?

12 Ways to Look Hot and Feel Cool
Cruel summer? Pfft. With just a handful of simple tricks, you can turn up the heat without breaking a sweat.
• To stop your hair from getting sweaty, "Aim salt spray at damp roots in the morning, and then let your hair air-dry," says hairstylist Nathaniel Hawkins. "That will give your roots some volume and soak up sweat and oil throughout the day."
• If your hair is fine and you like a tousled finish, mist dry hair three or four times from an arm's length away. "You get a messy texture that creates tons of body," says Hawkins.
• Turn a stodgy updo into a stylish one by spraying and scrunching a bun or braid to "create a roughed-up texture in about three seconds," says hairstylist Mark Townsend.
