Illinois football coach Tim Beckman looking for help from juco ranks

Faced with a difficult battle to restore an Illinois football program that's looking seriously down and out, new coach Tim Beckman used the bye last week to fight back on several fronts.
Recruiting, getting healthy and restoring pride were all on the docket at Illinois, which faces a dangerous homecoming against high-scoring Indiana on Saturday (11 a.m., BTN).
''We need a victory,'' Beckman said Monday. ''We need to move this program forward. It cannot stay stalemated.''
Toward that end, Beckman said he hopes to bring in up to eight players in January so they can participate in spring practice, including an unspecified number of junior-college players.
''There's depth issues,'' Beckman said. ''We're not playing with a full deck of cards. We've done this at the other places I've been at — never with eight, but we've had six. Eight's a good number. [We'll] try to get them in here for spring football and build some depth.''
Beckman, who already has ruffled feathers with his recruiting at Penn State, indicated that the need for help outweighs Illinois' past reluctance to bring in junior-college players.
''Illinois has not been known for junior-college players,'' Beckman said, ''but we're going to actively see if there's some out there. We've got a class that isn't really there. We need to get that class with more people in it. The junior-college player would add to that class.''
That's for down the road. Right now, Beckman, whose ugly 2-5 start has prompted a flurry of alumni and media scrutiny, could use a win over Indiana to stop the bleeding.
To get there, Beckman is stressing a theme of ''Own the Day'' for the rest of the season.
''Those last games are done,'' he said. ''We've got five more in front of us. I challenged this team to own the day. Do everything to win that day. That's the way we need to take it.''
That approach starts with practice for Indiana, the last Big Ten team Illinois beat before beginning its 11-game conference losing streak.
At least the Illini will be bolstered by some key players who used the open date to heal up. Among them are standout linebacker Jonathan Brown, who has been hobbling through an ankle sprain, and cornerback Terry Hawthorne, who sat out the Michigan game after suffering an apparent concussion at Wisconsin.
''Jonathan Brown's been playing through a lot of pain the last couple of weeks,'' Beckman said. ''Sunday night, he was the old Jonathan Brown. And Terry was the full Terry Hawthorne.''
That will help. And Illinois will need all defensive hands on deck against the potent Indiana offense, which made its points in losses to Michigan State (31-27), Ohio State (52-49) and Navy (31-30) the last three weeks.
''We're playing a good team,'' Beckman said. ''Indiana has moved the ball well. They're giving up a few points too many on defense, but they're playing good football. They've had a chance to win their last three games.''
Illinois, on the other hand, hasn't even been close in its five losses. And that's a big reason why Beckman is on a surprisingly hot seat for a first-year coach.

With e-commerce projected to account for 11 percent of US retail sales, totaling $414 billion by 2018, Yahoo is re-launching Yahoo Stores so it can grab a bigger piece of the growing online merchant market.
Initially launched in 1998, the updated platform enables merchants to build and transact on sites hosted by Yahoo for up to $9 per month, complete with tools for creation, marketing, analytics, custom templates and domain names. The platform is already used by more than 1.5 million small businesses as more sellers take to the Web to sell their wares.
"We've taken care of some of the stumbling points that small businesses face in setting up online stores," said Amit Kumar, head of Yahoo Small Business, according to the Wall Street Journal.
But Yahoo is a late re-entrant into an increasingly crowded field, with steep competition from Amazon, eBay, Shopify and Etsy, many of which offer customized online storefronts for small businesses.Continue reading...

eBay, the parent company of PayPal, is rebranding the online transaction service's Bill Me Later function to PayPal Credit, bringing consumer lending to the central part of the brand as it blows out the service globally.
It's part of the company's evolution to become a more integral part of commerce. The changes signal a strategic shift to "bring credit more to the center of PayPal," said PayPal's VP of Credit, Steve Allocca, according to TechCrunch. "[Credit is] especially important to us as we look to expand into the offline world and omni-channel. It's going to be all the more important for us to have more levers to proactively manage and control our transaction expense."
Allocca said customer spend rises by 30 percent after adoption of a PayPal credit vehicle and the recent changes support future goals of the brand to compete in retail POS as well as on mobile. Bill Me Later will cycle payments monthly through PayPal Wallet instead of the current website, minimizing steps between PayPal and Bill Me Later.
Meanwhile, PayPal is also expanding its small business lending program, PayPal Working Capital, which is still in invite-only beta. Since September of last year, the program has loaned more than 20,000 businesses upwards of $150 million from PayPal and lending partner, WebBank.Continue reading...

CEO Benzi Ronen calls them "people powered farmers markets," but his startup, Farmigo, is actually much more.
The online farmers market is a community supported agriculture company that is quietly disrupting food commerce, though on a smaller, but more unique scale than related operations like Amazon Fresh and Fresh Direct. Instead of just allowing customers to order fresh produce through the online system, Farmigo extends a business opportunity to local farmers, allowing them to sell their harvests to an eager online community, set their own price, and earn a supplementary income.
"We're trying to find people who have always been passionate about building a better food system, but they could blog about it and they could cheer about it, but there was nothing material that they could do to take action," Ronen told Forbes. "Now they are able to be part of the solution. They're able to do something actionable and make money along the way."Continue reading...

A built-in fanbase; a global market; a universally recognizable brand name and logo. Some of the world's biggest brands are well-endowed with all of these characteristics, however, many of them are missing one, important thing: a great brand story. However, one international conglomerate has found a way around this; by buying a local Milwaukee, Wis. coffee shop's backstory.
With the kind of humble beginnings that make for a great brand heritage, Alterra Coffee opened its doors in 1993 on the fifth floor of a Milwaukee warehouse amidst the metro areas worst financial years. With record-setting unemployment and a widespread cryptosporidium outbreak in the municipal water supply, it wasn't the best time to start peddling coffee. But with grit, good grounds and great service, Alterra built a tremendous local reputation. The brand's locations—which mirror the clean, franchised, free WiFi designs of other major coffee houses—popped up all over Milwaukee. As a movement toward buying local took off across the US, Alterra was perfectly positioned to give Milwaukee coffee lovers their desired Starbucks experience with a local conscience. But it turns out that Alterra's dark roast wasn't the most coveted part of its business.Continue reading...

The winner of the Intuit Small Business Big Game contest will lay claim to an opportunity reserved for some of the world's biggest brands. With an advertisement during the telecast of the 2014 Super Bowl as the grand prize, the winning company could expect the 30-second commercial to provide a significant boost to business.
Intuit—which makes products such as TurboTax and QuickBooks that aim directly at small-business owners_kicked off a contest that will award one small business with the ad during the Big Game on February 2, during the third quarter. That's usually the highest-viewership time of the game.
Former Dallas Cowboys and Miami Dolphins head coach Jimmy Johnson, now a Fox NFL-telecast icon, and reality-TV personality Bill Rancic are promoting the contest, which will ask applicants to detail their challenges, offer tips and answer questions about their business experiences, according to USA Today.Continue reading...

Thirty years after original charges of stomping out indigenous businesses were first levied against Walmart, the chain is still ticking off local retailers that have difficulty competing. Only nowadays, instead of small-town, independent hardware and apparel stores that couldn't hope to compare with Walmart's prices, it's grocery stores that are smarting from price comparisons with the giant.
The chain is continuing to gain market share in groceries and consumables, Advertising Age reported, in large part because of the hundreds of local market-basket price-comparison ads that it has been running in 70 metro markets across the country. The spots show actual grocery shoppers comparing actual receipts from competitive grocery chains to the prices they could have gotten at Walmart. Unhappy supermarket chains have tried but so far failed to besmirch the veracity of the ads.Continue reading...

In a classic bait and switch, Square, the mobile payments company known for its quarter-sized credit-card reader, is taking its business online in a direct challenge to PayPal, which is moving more of its services offline into brick-and-mortar retailers.
After dominating the mobile card reader market, including a hefty deal with Starbucks locations, Square is turning its attention to e-commerce with its new Square Market, which enables merchants to list their products on a website where Square will handle payment processing and deliver cheaper point-of-sale credit card payments (2.75 percent per transaction) by replacing equipment with a smartphone or tablet computer.
"There's a blurring of the lines between offline and online commerce," Square's chief executive, Jack Dorsey, told the Wall Street Journal. "This is the next obvious step for us," he said, while PayPal's VP lobal product Hill Ferguson commented, "We feel good about our position. When you're successful at something, others try to follow you."Continue reading...

Carve your niche in a competitive market
Recent studies have revealed there's no shortage of veterinarians these days. So in the midst of a surplus of veterinary care, how does one stand out and distinguish his or her services from those of others?
My solution: Develop a niche practice. Don't try to be all things to all people in today's ultra-competitive, cost-conscious environment. Target a specific population of clients or patients, identify their needs, and address those needs more competently than anyone else. Could you answer a need in your area for a veterinarian who does house calls or who focuses on a specialty such as ophthalmology, behavior counseling, or holistic medicine?
A prime example of a veterinarian doing just that is Dr. Laurie Hess, owner of Veterinary Center for Birds & Exotics in Bedford Hills, N.Y. Dr. Hess is one of only 150 diplomates of the American Board of Veterinary Practitioners in Avian Medicine, and her thriving practice is one of only three AAHA-accredited bird and exotics specialty referral hospitals in the United States.
Dr. Hess has earned a reputation as the go-to practitioner for exotic pets, in part because of her impressive public relations efforts. Here's how she carved out a niche in her market:
Hit the streets. When she first started, Dr Hess went to more than 60 pet stores in a 50-mile radius. If the pet-store owners recommended her hospital, she would refer clients to their stores for products and food. Share your knowledge. Dr. Hess speaks to local exotic pet clubs and also lectures at schools and conducts tours of her clinic for Boy and Girl Scout groups.
Get in the public eye. Dr. Hess has sent original press materials to more than 200 media outlets and has been a guest on TV's The Martha Stewart Show and The Doctors.
Take advantage of social media. Dr. Hess has an extensive ad campaign on Google, Bing, and Yahoo and maintains an active Facebook page, Twitter feed, and website. In addition, she employs a marketing team at a cost of $1,500 per month to promote veterinary care for exotic pets and birds.
Despite the languishing economy, Dr. Hess says business is good. "The practice benefits from a strong referral base and relationships with nearby veterinarians," she says. "And the added publicity is icing on the cake."

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Organization of American States is meeting
in Washington to consider suspending Honduras' membership because
of the military coup that ousted President Manuel Zelaya.
But even before Saturday's emergency session, Honduras' interim
government decided to pulled out of the OAS rather than meet demands to reinstate Zelaya. OAS officials say they haven't received formal notification of that move.
The group's assistant secretary-general, Albert Ramdin, said Zelaya planned to attend Saturday's emergency meeting. Zelaya is expected to address foreign ministers.
They agreed on Tuesday on a 72-hour ultimatum for the Honduran
government to reinstate Zelaya or face an OAS suspension.
Honduras' interim president was presented with the OAS resolution on Friday and said "the OAS is a political organization, not a court."

Looking in Long Beach
- Fryboy Jan 30, 2009 09:23 PM
Housesitting in Long Beach this weekend and looking for some good eats. Nothing too fancy. Prefer a non- chain. We are near the intersection of PCH and Long Beach Blvd. but are willing to travel farther for something special. Thanks Hounds!
For breakfast or lunch, try The Coffee Cup Cafe on 4th and Grand. Expect to wait. It won't take you long to get there. Not a chain, very casual.
I like La Creperie in the Belmont Shore area. Yummy crepes and I love their cheese and pate appetizer plate!
La Creperie Cafe
4911 E 2nd St, Long Beach, CA 90803
About 5 miles from where you are to Enrique's for some of the best and most innovative Mexican food in the greater LA area. Wonderful pork shank.
6210 E Pacific Coast Hwy, Long Beach, CA 90803
Open Sesame on 2nd in Belmont Shores (basically across the street from La Creperie) is great for tasty Lebanese food. I sometimes contemplate driving there from Burbank for their kafta or chicken tawook with garlic sauce. The fried cauliflower is great, too.
Modica's on Ocean has a great Italian style sandwiches. We love the Smokin Joe
I live near same intersection. How about taking train (one block away) to the Transit Mall station for oysters and chowder at King's on Pine Ave.?
A classic bar, not too fancy, LB landmark. Joe Josts on Anaheim. Bar food. Dont be shocked if everybody is eating pickled eggs, try one, trust me.
Sophy's is nearby on PCH and Redondo (new location) Thai/cambodian done well. Bentlys on Wardlow is good Vietnamese.
Joe Jost's
2803 E Anaheim St, Long Beach, CA 90804
Bouchee's Bistro is on LB Blvd. near WalMart, haven't tried myself, but has good reviews on their sliders.
There is also Cafe Gazelle (just off 2nd St.) cute little Italian place.
I second Sophy's, Enriques, Open Sesame, Le Creperie and The Coffee Cup Cafe.


text: Christie Basks in Fleeting Media Love Like McCain Before Him Print article Send a Tip by Christian Toto 19 Nov 2012 post a comment N.J. Gov. Chris Christie is having his John McCain moment in the media. It's hard to forget how eagerly the press and entertainment outlets like "Saturday Night Live" cozied up to Sen. McCain not too long ago. He was a maverick, a war hero who repeatedly butted heads with the GOP establishment. For that, the Arizona Senator received favorable coverage, an invitation to appear on "SNL" and generally more positive press than most of this peers. Then McCain dared to make a run for the White House. And the media love fest screeched to a halt. Press coverage turned nasty. Late night comics embraced every old age joke their hack writers could crank out. Christie clearly didn't learn the lesson of McCain's inevitable media downfall. The N.J. Governor is the media darling of the moment, the man who cozied up to President Barack Obama in the days before election to help with Hurricane Sandy relief. The pugnacious pol is getting raves for his bipartisan approach, the press realizing just how much he helped Obama in a critical juncture in the election cycle. Christie's appearance on "SNL" over the weekend only affirmed the big, warm media hug. Here's betting all those fat jokes aimed at him will go away. It won't last, of course. Should Christie embrace conservative policies anew, the current love fest will fade like one of those "Hope" posters from President Obama's 2008 campaign. And, if Christie truly has designs on a 2016 presidential run, he can expect the same kind of one-sided treatment from his new pals at "Saturday Night Live." Just ask McCain. Or, better yet, Sarah Palin.

Cops: Men pumped gas for customers after robbery
Updated On: May 08 2014 11:36:13 AM CDT
Police say men robbed a gas station, then stayed at the store for several hours afterward and pumped gas for customers.
The men entered a Hess gas station in southwest Philadelphia demanding money, which reportedly caught the 18-year-old clerk off-guard because one of the men was wearing a shirt with a Hess logo on it, leading him to believe they were making a delivery. At one point, one of the men fired a shot from a gun, grazing the clerk's head, reports KYW-TV.
After he was robbed, the clerk was told to stay quiet in the bathroom for several hours, while the suspects waited on customers and pumped gas for them, offering a discount to those who paid with cash.
He eventually exited the bathroom and called the police.
Police say the robbers are responsible for similar Hess station robberies and are still at large.

LAS VEGAS (AP) - A man accused of randomly stabbing four people near the Las Vegas Strip told police he was upset after a street argument, so he fetched a 9-inch kitchen knife and attacked people.
Police say a 56-year-old woman underwent surgery for a stomach wound, a man and woman were each stabbed in the lower back and a teen was slashed in the shoulder in the attack about 11:15 p.m. Thursday.
Police say 53-year-old Lee Sanford surrendered a few minutes later at a nearby McDonald's restaurant.
Sanford told police he thought white people were bothering him. Sanford is black.
Police say Sanford also was sometimes incoherent during a police interview following his arrest.
Sanford is jailed without bail pending a court appearance Monday on four charges of battery with a deadly weapon.

With tax season upon us, many are wondering, what, if anything, can we write off as a tax deduction. It can be a complicated process, but local tax offices are here to help.
In order to write off things like charitable donations or job hunting costs, you need to know if you are able to itemize. If you are married and filing taxes jointly, you must have over $12,200 in expenses. If you are single, your expenses must add up to over $6,100. If you are the head of household, expenses must exceep $8,950 in order to itemize.
One of the biggest write-offs for homeowners is energy efficient upgrades.
"If you put new windows in, energy efficient, doors that are energy efficient, if you did anything solar with your house, that's energy efficient," explained Anthony Havelka-Chibici, Senior Tax Analyst at Haven Tax and Accounting, "you definitely need to make sure you come in and talk to people that understand taxes and accounting, so they can maximize that for you on your refund."
He says you need to keep your invoice from those purchases and if you do not have a receipt, chances are you paid for it with a credit card and should have records through those statements.

How to go to RTO Office, Tambaram
Tambaram RTO Office is accessible by road, Take the road next to the bus stand - they call it Kishkinta Road - It is about three - four kilometers from the bus stand. There are share-autos that charge you Rs 10/head or a normal auto will charge Rs 40
There are some buses plying on that route. Not sure of the number.
Better if you have a own vehicle as you need to wait for return autorickhaws
Two-Wheeler Testing Ground for RTO Tambaram:
There is a Two Wheeler Testing ground where the candidates are asked to drive like eight . This is one kilometer behind the RTO office. you need to go straight in Kishkinta road and take left near a Vinayagar temple.
RTO comes to the ground on Tuesday and Saturday for verification
Four-Wheeler Testing Ground for RTO Tambaram:
Four wheeler tests happen on Kishkita Road - from the Bridge towards Kishkinta . The
test look like a political rally with the test vehicle - Car / Force Trax followed by tens of two wheelers. The RTO sits in the car and checks the way the candidates drive .. mostly he will ask to start -- change gears -- stop and the next candidate (who follows in the two-wheeler) jumps in . Own vehicles are asked to take the test at last - they are asked to drive for five meters - take a U-turn and come back
There are good number of Driving schools that train drivers here. The predominantly seen there are Alpha Driving School, Sivasakthi Driving School and Driving School

Not all impossible effects are improbable
While a genuine "age of enlightenment" _is_ unlikely (regardless of the outcome), it is still highly possible that the economic situation could improve just because the "correct" candidate gets elected and this eases many peoples' minds. (Specifically, the people who think _only_ their candidate can lead us out of the abject economic depression they think we're in.) No longer convinced they're going to have to fashion their next pair of shoes out of tree-bark, these people will again work / sell and buy / spend more normally.
Exactly like your donkeys. I bet by this time tomorrow, yoked as they doubtless will be under cartloads of firewood, they'll be eating hay with a smile under their whiskers because they know unemployment is about to trend downward instead of geometrically climbing to a hundred and four percent.

Minneapolis, MN 55413
Category: Music Venues
Region: Northeast Minneapolis
Garland Jeffreys is a New York singer-songwriter of exceptional depth and range, a bookish romantic who can write a self-critical song about Malcolm X ("I Was Afraid of Malcolm"), scat like Dion, boogie about John Lee Hooker, and somehow pull off references to Edmund Spenser over a reggae beat. He's been making often outstanding, generally slow-selling records since Ford was president—for an early one, pick up Ghost Writer, featuring the incendiary near-hit "Wild in the Streets." Last year's The King of In Between was his first album in over a decade and one of his best. Coproduced by former Dylan sideman Larry Campbell and featuring guests such as Jeffreys's college chum Lou Reed, the album is very forceful old-guy rock 'n' roll, intellectual as always but also keen to cut to the bone and chase. One chorus simply goes, "I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive—not dead." Indeed! No band this time, alas, but Gabriel Gordon will join Jeffreys on guitar. (Photo by Danny Clinch)

VCA Oak Hills Animal Hospital Testimonials
We value feedback from our clients. Please share your story with us by writing a testimonial.
Caring and Honest Vet-Dorian and Wayne Foster from San Antonio, TX
Pet Name: Bear
I have been taking our animals to Oak Hills hospital for many years and have gotten to know Dr Tschirhart quite well with our 2 big dogs and cats, and strays, etc. One of our dogs, Bear, has been having ongoing problems with her skin and Dr T always has good ideas of things to try (even when our budget goes up and down, he is reasonable). Bear suffered from a stroke after a seizure almost 2 years ago and we thought she would need to be put down, but Dr T examined her after she came out of the emergency hospital and said "give her some time...dogs bounce back better than humans from strokes". He saved her life with those words. We rehabilitated Bear back to normal and she has had many more happy years. The staff there is great and they really work to squeeze you in if you don't have an appointment.
Compassionate Care-Emily Ward from San Antonio, TX
Pet Name: Annie
Thank you,Dr. Harwood for the final time in your tremendously compassionate care of Annie. God bless you and your staff. It has been a privilege knowing you since 1981 when you delivered my last pet Bella, my red, long haired Dachsund.You also put Bella to sleep in April 1994 when she had just had her 13th birthday. Annie would have been 15 years old on November 15th of this year.
Respectfully yours
Emily M. Ward
Exceptional Service and Care-Josefina Castellano from San Antonio, TX
Pet Name: Justin
I was very pleased with the treatment received by my new kitten. He had a declaw with a complication and Dr Marie McMaughan was extremely helpful and caring in her treatment and advice with assuring his quick recovery. I felt that she cared as much as I did. Thank you so much!
This is the place to bring your beloved pets-Mayra and Ralph Ortiz from San Antonio, TX
Pet Name: Maximus
My husband and I highly recommend bringing your pets/kids to VCA Oak Hills Animal Hospital. All our experiences with them have been outstanding. It all begins with the office staff that welcomes you with a smiling face and a positive attitude. Thank you you Elizabeth, Natalie and Linda at the front. Also special thanks to Leonard and Mike, vet techs, who always handle my 4-legged children with love, care and professionalism. My biggest thanks go out to Dr. Sajini Guntur, our vet. She has a passion for being a vet. The moment we met her and saw how she took the time to answer our questions, and how well she cared for our babies we knew this is the place for us. We were so scared as we learned that our dog, Maximus had acquired heartworms. We were devastated, but Dr. Guntur explained to us that there is a series of 2 injections that can be given to get rid of the heart worms. Dr. Guntur and all the staff made this experience so comfortable. Dr. Guntur even took the time to call me after hours just to make sure Maximus was doing well, and gave me so many tips that has helped us to get our baby on the road to recovery. I can't possibly explain how awesome the VCA Hospital has been, but I hope that if anyone is in need of a caring and loving place to take their loved one, that you look no more as you have found it here. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything that you guys do and will continue to do for our family!!!!
One and only Vet care for my pets-Jan Chalfant from San Antonio, TX
Pet Name: Sarah
Since moving to San Antonio in 1973, Oak Hills Veterinary has been the only Veterinary hospital for my dogs. They answer my 1:00 am or 3:00 am calls for emergencies, have always been very helpful with any problems my pets have, including a gall bladder removal just last year. Drs Harwood, Hill and Tschirhart, and Linda Gutierrez and staff are always ready to help in any way they can. God Bless.
Fantastic Animal Care and Customer Service-Jan from San Antonio, TX
I was referred to this location since adopting my 1st cat from the Humane Society, and I have never ever regretted the choice. Through well-cat checks, additional adoptions, a very sad illness and loss, and boarding my cats while on a short vacation, this group has been absolutely wonderful. Special touches, simply wonderful care for my cats, and compassionate concern for me when things got tough. I'd recommend this VCA Oak Hills Animal Hospital to anyone who loves their pet.
My Heart Goes Out to The Doctors-Susan Garcia from San Antonio, TX
Pet Name: Sadie,Tucker,Gracie,and Rusty Garcia
My Heart goes out to all of the Vets there. I do not care for the revolving door doctors, techs, or the receiving front desk of some places. Since 1976 I have used these Vets. Only once I lost a Dachshund to Parvo and it wasn't because of lack of care or compassion. I also had Famos Amos who only lived 4 years because of severe allergies. I can tell you Dr.Paul Tschirhart took excellent care of Amos. Over 30 years Dr. Hill, Dr. Harwood and Dr. Paul Tschirhart and now Dr. Jena Bernavente have done excellent care of my pets. Please try these doctors. You will love Linda at the front desk and all the wonderful staff. Please remember sometimes we lose our beloved animals, the Vets try!. We will see our Pets/Family across the Rainbow Bridge.
The work is thorough, the smiles are for real-Patrick Lemelle from San Antonio, TX
My wife and I have nothing but good things to say about the staff and the service at VCA Oak Hills Animal Hospital. The staff is one of the most compassionate group of people I have met in a long time. We had taken our two big dogs, (Texas & Zen), to several different veterinary hospitals before coming to the VCA Oak Hills, but the service was sorely lacking. Texas passed away due to an incurable cancer, but only after the good doctors did all they possibly could to save him. The entire staff consoled and supported us in our loss and kept in touch through the following weeks. These folks are genuine and treated our pets as if they were their own. We will continue using their services for a long time. Their work is thorough and their smiles are for real. Great job guys; thanks for everything and keep up the good work!!!
Great with old and temperamental dogs-Mark Tovar from San Antonio, TX
Pet Name: CODY
Dr. Paul Tschirhart, DVM, is thorough and makes sure you understand all information needed. Vet techs and front desk are always kind and can really handle even the most aloof and sassy dogs like my Akita/Chow Cody. I trust VCA with my dogs geriatric health concerns that are many and I even board there.
I appreciate all you do
Service-Danny Luna from San Antonio, TX
Pet Name: Rosie
I am very thankful to the the Doctor and staff that took care of our angel Rosie, she is our 2 year old pitbull, she required surgery for an abdominal pain, they took care of her and kept us informed on everything that was going on. Thank you again for making our precious dog happy and full of life again!I Attached a picture of her brother Skippy as we were leaving the hospital.

A lie can make it half way around the world before the truth has time to put its boots on.Samuel Langhorne Clemens
Average people didn't analyze what they thought: they thought they thought, and half of it was gut reaction.C. J. Cherryh
Think about this, the people gave birth to me cannot stop hating each other enough. What does that tell you about me? Half of my genes must be fighting with other half, no wonder I am so fucking messed up.Chetan Bhagat
But you know, it isn't designed. Love just shows up and you go, "Oh, wow, this is going to be a hayride and a half."Jennifer Joanna Aniston
A century and a half after its birth, the modern business corporation, an artificial person made in the image of a human psychopath, now is seeking to remake real people in its image.Joel Conrad Bakan
Some material things make my life more enjoyable; many, however, would not. I like having an expensive private plane, but owning a half-dozen homes would be a burden. Too often, a vast collection of possessions ends up possessing its owner. The asset I most value, aside from health, is interesting, diverse, and long-standing friends. My wealth has come from a combination of living in America, some lucky genes, and compound interest. Both my children and I won what I call the ovarian lottery. (For starters, the odds against my 1930 birth taking place in the U.S. were at least 30 to 1. My being male and white also removed huge obstacles that a majority of Americans then faced.) My luck was accentuated by my living in a market system that sometimes produces distorted results, though overall it serves our country well. Ive worked in an economy that rewards someone who saves the lives of others on a battlefield with a medal, rewards a great teacher with thank-you notes from parents, but rewards those who can detect the mispricing of securities with sums reaching into the billions. In short, fates distribution of long straws is wildly capricious. The reaction of my family and me to our extraordinary good fortune is not guilt, but rather gratitude. Were we to use more than 1% of my claim checks on ourselves, neither our happiness nor our well-being would be enhanced. In contrast, that remaining 99% can have a huge effect on the health and welfare of others. That reality sets an obvious course for me and my family: Keep all we can conceivably need and distribute the rest to society, for its needs. My pledge starts us down that course.Warren Edward Buffett
I see that a man cannot give himself up to drinking without being miserable one half his days and mad the other.Anne Bront
Millions and millions of years would still not give me half enough time to describe that tiny instant of all eternity when you put your arms around me and I put my arms around you.Jacques Prévert
Country acquaintances are charming only in the country and only in the summer. In the city in winter they lose half of their appeal.Anton Pavlovich Chekhov
Self-knowledge can be painful, but not half so damaging as self-ignorance.Orson Scott Card
This is the makeup process. Ive been here since half past five this morning. So would you say youre bringing out a beauty thats already there? How does it work? How do we hide the bald patch?Derren Victor Brown
Democracy is a constant tension between truth and half-truth and, in the arsenal of truth, there is no greater weapon than fact.Lyndon B. Johnson
A prudent question is one half the wisdom.unknown
Its not as if grace did one half of the work and free choice the other; each does the whole work, in its own peculiar contribution. Grace does the whole work, and so does free choice with this one qualification: That whereas the whole is done in free choice, so is the whole done of grace.St. Bernard of Clairvaux
Humankind is made up of two sexes, women and men. Is it possible for humankind to grow by the improvement of only one part while the other part is ignored? Is it possible that if half of a mass is tied to earth with chains that the other half can soar into skies?Mustafa Kemal Atatrk
One final paragraph of advice: do not burn yourselves out. Be as I am a reluctant enthusiast... a part-time crusader, a half-hearted fanatic. Save the other half of yourselves and your lives for pleasure and adventure. It is not enough to fight for the land; it is even more important to enjoy it. While you can. While its still here. So get out there and hunt and fish and mess around with your friends, ramble out yonder and explore the forests, climb the mountains, bag the peaks, run the rivers, breathe deep of that yet sweet and lucid air, sit quietly for a while and contemplate the precious stillness, the lovely, mysterious, and awesome space. Enjoy yourselves, keep your brain in your head and your head firmly attached to the body, the body active and alive, and I promise you this much; I promise you this one sweet victory over our enemies, over those desk-bound men and women with their hearts in a safe deposit box, and their eyes hypnotized by desk calculators. I promise you this; You will outlive the bastards.Edward Abbey
A half truth is a whole lie.Yiddish Proverb
The true love is a state of half-madness, of some kind of soft obsession, ruling a so delicate kind of feeling that can lead a person from the greatest happiness to the most dreadful pain.Afonso Henriques de Lima Barreto
Truth is a naked and open daylight, that doth not shew the masks and mummeries and triumphs of the world, half so stately and daintily as candlelights.Francis Bacon
Well begun is half done.Aristotle

Nice deflectors
Reviewed By Randy N (BOTHELL, WA) Reviewed for a 2014 Toyota Tundra —11/23/2014 10:21 PM
Looks nice on the tundra. Install was easy but the driver and passenger deflectors are loose. Every time I roll up/down windows deflectors shift a bit. Driving with windows open causes the deflectors to rattle. 2nd row deflectors are fine. Other than looking good on the truck these don't seem to fit well and would probably fly off someday when I drive with windows down. Save your money!

NATO raid rescues 4 aid workers in Afghanistan
KABUL, Afghanistan NATO forces swooped in by helicopter before dawn Saturday to rescue two female foreign aid workers and their two Afghan colleagues who were held by militants for nearly two weeks in a cave in northern Afghanistan.
British Prime Minister David Cameron hailed the "breathtaking" operation, which he approved Friday afternoon after becoming increasingly concerned about the safety of the hostages, one of whom, 28-year-old Helen Johnston, was British.
Johnston was kidnapped along with Moragwa Oirere, a 26-year-old Kenyan, and the two Afghans while visiting aid sites in Badakhshan province on May 22. The four work for Medair, a humanitarian non-governmental organization based near Lausanne, Switzerland.
The rescue operation was carried out by British troops in cooperation with other NATO and Afghan forces, Cameron told reporters outside 10 Downing Street in London. He said it was "extraordinarily difficult" to decide to go ahead with the operation, which involved a "long route march" without being discovered.
"It was an extraordinarily brave, breathtaking even, operation that our troops had to carry out," said Cameron. "We will never be able to publish their names but the whole country should know we have an extraordinary group of people who work for us who do amazingly brave things."
All four hostages were rescued safely, no British troops were injured and a number of Taliban militants and kidnappers were killed, said Cameron.
Past rescue attempts in Afghanistan have not always gone so well.
In 2009, an Afghan translator kidnapped alongside a New York Times reporter was killed in a hail of bullets during a rescue attempt by British commandoes. In 2010, the U.S. Navy's SEAL Team 6 tried to rescue Linda Norgrove, a Scottish aid worker, from her Taliban captors in Afghanistan. She was killed by a grenade thrown in haste by one of the American commandoes.
Afghan officials said seven militants were killed during Saturday's operation, which was launched around 1 a.m.
Lt. Col. Jimmie Cummings, a coalition spokesman, said a helicopter rescue team reached the scene before dawn and confirmed that the hostages were there.
"The kidnappers were armed with heavy machine guns, rocket-propelled grenades and AK-47s," Cummings said. "They were kidnapped by an armed terrorist group with ties to the Taliban."
The aid workers appeared to be in good health, but they will be evaluated before being reunited with their families, he said.
Johnston's family said they were delighted and relieved by the news that the aid worker and her colleagues have been freed.
"We are deeply grateful to everyone involved in her rescue, to those who worked tirelessly on her behalf, and to family and friends for their love, prayers and support over the last twelve days," the family said in a statement.
Medair spokesman Aurilien Demaurex also expressed relief that the aid workers were rescued and said the company is "immensely grateful to all parties involved in ensuring their swift and safe return."
Shams ul-Rahman, the deputy governor of Badakhshan province, said the hostages were being held in Gulati, a village in Shahri Buzurg district. It is a mountainous and forested area near the Tajikistan border in extreme northern Afghanistan about 70 kilometers (44 miles) from the district center.

New Project To Look at Medieval Miracles in the British Isles
Known as Mapping Miracles, the project is run by Robert Gallagher, Julianne Pigott and Sarah Waidler of the University of Cambridge along with Jennifer Key of the University of St.Andrews. By developing this database, they hope to show what were the similarities and differences in the miracles recorded in saints' lives, even those that were written in other different parts of the British Isles and centuries apart.

text: All of a Sudden, Media Interested in Benghazi by Joel B. Pollak 5 May 2013 post a comment Share This: Prior to the 2012 election, the mainstream media--and Sunday show hosts in particular--did their best to cover up what was already obvious about the Benghazi attacks on Sep. 11--that the Obama administration had done nothing to stop them, and that it had lied brazenly to the American people about what happened. As I reported on October 28, 2012: The mainstream media's silence on the Benghazi disaster reached deafening levels on Sunday, as hosts of four out of the five major news shows--with the exception of Fox News Sunday--failed to raise the issue. Only Bob Schieffer of CBS gave it serious consideration, and only after it was raised by Sen. John McCain. Now, with witnesses coming forward and congressional hearings looming, the media are scrambling to cover what happened. Too little, too late. And while they might have protected President Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton from failures that would have ended the campaigns and careers of any Republican, in their silence they led the Obama administration to believe there would never be any consequences. In their eagerness to serve Obama/Clinton's short-term political interests, they did their favorites a grievous wrong.

Yes unfortunately it will. Regardless of the eccentric behavior of Ms Mamta Banerjee, she will not have the guts to pull out her support from the UPA-II govt because it has been just one year when her party came to power in West Bengal on the slogan of 'Paribortan' (Change) and she knows that her party will lose seats in the Lok Sabha elections to CPM in West Bengal as she has not brought out any change and her popularity is also at its lowest level. So she needs the cushion of 2 years to establish herself as a good option for West Bengal.Answered by Manoj Adwani, 29 May '12 11:29 pm

Arlington couple seeks return of disabled daughter, after "secret hearing"
When Ceci Covington was growing up there were piano lessons, sports and family trips. Her Arlington parents say Ceci who has down syndrome didn't miss out.
But, now after three decades of raising their daughter, Frank and Chila Covington have been cut out of Ceci's world. They are allowed to see their 39-year old daughter, who lives in a nursing home, just a few hours a week.
"We are still in a state of shock," Frank Covington says. His wife adds that they are not able to sleep.
The couple say the traumatic ordeal started when they put Ceci in a group home, to give her more independence. They say after disputes over care, they were dragged into a legal battle, where they lost custody of their daughter to the state.
"I do call it "gestapo" justice," Frank Covington says. "They just kidnap your kids," Chila said.
The Covington's say they were not aware of the secretive hearings under which their daughter was made a ward of the state. They say a Tarrant County probate court upheld allegations of cruelty and stripped them of their guardianship of Ceci. They say all of it was done without their knowledge. They only received a phone call.
"If you read the charges, they are just gross. It talks about cruelty and neglect, like we were beating her."
But, advocates of the guardianship system are quick to defend the hearings as a way to protect children from danger. They say a child or even an adult in a bad situation can be removed quickly.
After a year of legal battles, Chila says the couple is buried in documents and debt. She says they have spent their retirement money to win Ceci back. Her mother worries that her daughter is being heavily medicated.
"We are not allowed any access to her medications," Chila said.
The Covington's aren't convinced they will ever get their daughter back. They don't hold out much hope for victory in a court hearing two weeks from now. They just want music back in their home and the chance to change the system.
"We want to fix things so other people don't have to live this nightmare," Frank Covington said.Copyright © 2014, The Baltimore Sun
