text: Tidal Wave of Illegal Immigrants Rapidly Draining Federal Resources Print article Send a Tip by Kristin Tate 11 Jul 2014 post a comment HOUSTON, Texas--The border crisis will cause Border Patrol agents and other officials to run out of money, if emergency funds are not allocated soon. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) secretary Jeh Johnson told the Senate Appropriation Committee that the costliness of the crisis is the result of paying agents overtime, as well as providing thousands of illegal immigrants with housing, transportation, and other amenities. According to the Los Angeles Times, Johnson said, "At the current burn rate, ICE is going to run out of money at mid-August and we project CBP will run out of money in mid-September." President Obama has requested $3.7 billion to deal with the situation. Johnson reportedly asserted that if the funds are not allocated, "we will have to go to a harsh form of reprogramming that will take money away from some vital homeland security programs I am sure members of this committee care a lot about." Most of the proposed funds, however, would go to Health and Human Services (HHS)--the agency responsible for caring for the migrants and reuniting them with family members. The Times reported that half of Obama's proposed funds, about $1.8 billion, would go towards HHS' efforts. Currently, when the foreigners are apprehended at the border, instead of being turned away they receive a myriad of taxpayer subsidized benefits. This includes housing, food, education, vocational training, recreation, and even legal counsel. Only $433 million would go to Customs and Border Protection, which is in charge of securing the border, according to the Times. Breitbart Texas Contributing Editor and border security expert Sylvia Longmire said, "I find it unbelievable what Obama administration officials are willing to say in order to get approval for an astonishing $3.7 billion emergency fund to pay for a humanitarian crisis they partially created. Half of that is going towards helping unaccompanied children stay here, and only the paltry sum of $433 million is being earmarked for additional border security measures." She continued, "And to say that the Border Patrol, ICE, and CBP are going to run out of money starting next month is a cheap shot. It's the administration's fault for short-changing those agencies in the first place. But to say, 'Oh no! CBP will run out of money in mid-September!' when the new fiscal year--and a new round of funding--starts on October 1 is just playing on what they think is the American public's ignorance. They are dangling the carrot of Here's the border funding that you wanted! to Republicans so they can point the finger of blame when people start digging into the fine print and realize the measure isn't about border security at all. $3.7 billion sounds like a much-needed windfall for the southwest border, but it's looking more and more like it's funding the administration's political agenda and cheating border agents out of the real support they need."

5 February 2010
Mohammed Darwish abandoned his farm after crops failed and was forced to take a job as a shepherd.(..)It is a scene that has been replicated for centuries in the semi-arid hills and valleys of Syria, where farmers harvest crops, tend fruit trees, and herd sheep and goats. But recently, the conversation, punctuated by glances and gestures towards the heavens, has taken on additional urgency as the nation grapples with a three-year drought that experts describe as the worst in four decades.
15 December 2009
Four bottles of sunflower oil, five kilos of lentils and 13 cans of tuna is what Walid Khalil Ibrahim, an Iraqi refugee living in Damascus, is taking home from the government-run supermarket in Jaramana. And a batch of white eggs.(..)When it is time to pay the bill, Ibrahim, who is receiving food aid from the WFP, reaches for his mobile phone, rather than his wallet.
24 November 2009
With a few weeks left before the end of this year's planting season, UN officials have raised concerns over the lack of funds to help drought-hit farmers and herders in northeastern Syria. (..) The World Food Programme (WFP) shares similar concerns. "WFP has received $2.2 million only out of $22 million needed. This amount is barely sufficient to start the first distribution in December which should cover at least two months of entitlements [December and January]," Silvana Giuffrida, WFP deputy country director, told IRIN.
2 September 2009
On a small triangle of dirt, wedged between two roads half-an-hour's drive east from central Damascus, is a squalid encampment, home to some 50 people. (..) Syria has drawn on international aid to help mitigate the effects of the drought. The World Food Programme has been handing out emergency packages to try to prevent burgeoning malnutrition rates and stem the flow of rural to urban migration. A total of 200,000 people, mainly farming families, are receiving its assistance.
21 July 2009
Malnutrition rates in Syria's northeast have reached alarming heights, international aid agencies have warned. The dry northeast region of Syria is plagued with malnutrition levels that are one and a half times higher than in the rest of the country, according to the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF). (..) According to a 2008 World Food Program report, the rising price of food is having a "catastrophic effect" on Syria's economy, and is exasperating the already insufficient food resources left after the drought.

November 27, 2014
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) -- The rainy spring and early summer has stalled the cutting of hay and prevented tobacco plants from setting deep roots.
But cooperative extension agents say the wet weather hasn't been all bad. Extension crop and soil sciences agent Stephen Barts says the rain has been good for soybean and corn crops.
On the negative side, wheat cutting was lagging because rain and high humidity. The combination is bad for harvesting the grain.
The longer wheat remains in the field, grain's quality declines.

Don't Just Save a Tree, Replant a Whole Forest
A "plant-a-tree" campaign doesn't necessarily leap to mind as the pinnacle in innovative cause marketing. In fact, when I first heard about Government Solutions Group, a company that facilitates cause-related marketing between brands and state parks, it conjured images of elementary school students filing into fields with their seedlings tucked inside paper cups for a group planting. I had no idea of the magnitude of GSG's work and how strategically sound their programs are in authentically uniting brands with a cause that literally touches every community, every generation and just about every environmental issue you can think of from water to wildlife. Shari Boyer, CEO, took some time to expand my view on state park programs, and share her unique insights on how to effectively align your brand with a cause that's as close as your own backyard.

AIG Closed Climate Change Program Last Month
Last month American Insurance Group (AIG) closed its climate change program, which included keeping an inventory of greenhouse gas emissions. The only thing left is the Global Marine and Energy division, but nothing that directly tackles climate change. The Global Marine and Energy division contains some of the "company's most robust portfolio of renewable energy providers," as a New York Times article put it.
AIG has not released an official statement about closing the climate change program, so the reasons why it closed it are only speculation. However, according to Treehugger, "It's assumed that it was a budgetary decision–clean energy is deemed too risky, too low on reward right now."
Esurance: Creating Innovation with a Paper-Less Model and a Cartoon Character
Esurance was founded in 1999 during the peak of the dot com boom. It was the first auto insurer to offer its services exclusively online, from quotes to purchasing to communications to policy documents. As the company capitalized on a technological revolution, it helped create an innovative new business model, one that is inherently greener than its rivals, in an industry that has been seemingly anchored in institutionality and tradition.
"Beginning with the online model, the environmental message was baked into the product," said Joann Lee, Community Relations Manager for the insurer. Click to continue reading »

Wal-Mart Live Webcast: Sustainability Milestone Meeting
Click to continue reading »
Wal-Mart will host a Sustainability Milestone Meeting this morning (July 16th) 9:00 – 11:00 a.m. (CDT) in Bentonville, Ark. Follow the conversation on how Wal-Mart is working to launch a new project that will develop a sustainability index for their products. The meeting will be webcast live, and available for streaming following the meeting. You can also follow the meeting on Twitter via @Walmartmeeting.
As reported yesterday by Sarah Harper, the proposed index is controversial. There are many unanswered questions. Who will define what green is? How will the information gathered be shared?
Wal-Mart – the Leader of Sustainability Indexing?
Wal-Mart is planning quite a "first": it will implement a new "sustainability index," by which it will report the environmental impact of each and every piece of merchandise available for sale. Many of the corporation's 60,000 suppliers are up in arms, as compliance will likely require them to dig deep into their supply chains. But many proponents of sustainability are also skeptical. Will the index be yet another incomplete measurement of so-called sustainability that ultimately leads consumers astray, or worse?Click to continue reading »
Renewables Climb, Slowly but Surely, As Coal Retreats
Non-hydroelectric renewable energy from wind, solar and biomass provided 3.7% of America's energy needs this year through April, up from 3.1% for the same period last year, according to the Electric Power Monthly, a newsletter released by the Energy Information Administration (EIA).
That figure surpasses a goal of generating 3% of the nation's energy from renewables by 2013 in a version of the Waxman-Markey climate bill now in the Senate. The House passed a version of the bill on June 26 that calls for a 6% minimum by 2012, although there are loopholes in the legislation.

What Is an Anti-Fashion Clothing Line?
Philippe Starck, the French designer best known for his interior and product designs, will launch a cashmere line called S+arck With Ballantyne. It is ironic that Starck is launching a clothing line because in January he told British newspaper, The Guardian, "Let's hope fashion in design will disappear. There is a lack of respect when the media says, 'You must be dressed in pink,' and some poor girl dresses in pink, and six months later, when it says, 'You must dress in green,' she's a monster in her pink dress. We can't accept this kind of manipulation."
Starck told French newspaper Le Figaro before the line debuted in Florence, "Although the work of [its] creators is fantastic, I will never be idiotic enough to do fashion. The public will take maybe three years to understand the concept. It's not fashion. We won't be very big in the newspapers. The clothes are non-photogenic. But intelligent people will know to discover us." Click to continue reading »
T. Boone Pickens to Sell Off 667 Wind Turbines
As part of the first phase to build a 4,000 MW wind farm in the Texas panhandle, Pickens ordered 667 turbines from GE. These turbines are to be ready in 2010 and 2011, but the wind farm was called off due to funding and transmission problems. Now that's a boondoggle.
The economy and the wind energy market were very different just over a year ago when this order was placed. The wind industry was booming and a massive 8,900 MW of wind energy capacity was installed in 2008 in North America – this represents 40% of all total new capacity. Steel prices were sky high and demand greatly exceeded turbine supply. Prices soared and it was difficult to buy small quantities of turbines.Click to continue reading »
Desertec: Make it Big
The solar power industry has a couple of well-worn factoids it loves to whip out to impress people. One is that the planet receives more energy from the sun in an hour than humanity uses in a year. Another is that 100 square miles (or thereabouts) of solar plants in Arizona could power the entire United States.
Well, here's a new one: 90,000 square kilometers in the Sahara. That's how much land it would take, covered in solar thermal power stations, to power all of human civilization, according to Desertec, a partnership of European companies, governments and NGOs which was officially launched on Monday. Desertec aims to build a network of solar plants spread throughout North Africa and the Middle East that would provide a significant percentage (15% or more) of the electricity needs of all three regions.

Campbell County High School's football team would be hard-pressed to find an opponent better than the defending Class 3A state champion Knoxville Catholic team it scrimmaged last spring.
However, a Bearden team that went two rounds of the Class 6A playoffs and finished 9-3 last season just might be better than that 2009 Catholic squad.
You'll get no argument from Campbell County coach Dewayne Wells.
Jellico High School seniors Brittany Hughes and Noel Tiller have played ball many years together.
Last week, they were their school's first team selections on the All-District 4-A Softball Team. Lady Blue Devil teammates Zoe Wynkott and Ashley Ouimette were second team picks.
Most valuable player was Coalfield's freshman pitcher Lindsey Fadnek. Joining her on the all-district first team were Coalfield teammates Andrea Foster, Hannah Melhorn and Kaylee Watson.
The other members of the all-district first team were:
Sometimes it is all about the numbers.
A Tennessee Bureau of Investigation report released earlier this month had Campbell County with the fourth highest crime rate in the state.
However, within the county are five separate law enforcement entities with each one submitting its own report to the TBI.
How do you tell the good guys from the bad in a time where anyone can be perceived as a threat?
That is what area law enforcement is finding out this week in a specialized training in LaFollette.
Any hope Joseph Nance had of getting a new trial was put to rest on Monday.
In October 2009, Nance was sentenced to serve 64 years behind bars for multiple counts of child rape and one count of aggravated sexual battery. During criminal court this week, Robert Scott attempted to persuade Criminal Court Judge Shayne Sexton to grant his client a new trial.
Putting the victim of Nance's crimes on the stand, Scott tried to undermine the girl's credibility.

If Neils Miller doesn't have a statue in Appleton, Wisconsin, he should. You'll be hard pressed to find someone who has had a larger impact on the welding industry than Mr. Miller. Back in 1929, he saw a need for a small, affordable arc welder that would operate on the type of electricity readily available in rural Wisconsin. Using American ingenuity, he cobbled together scrap metal, core and coil materials and hammered out that first welder in his basement. Six short years later, Miller Electric Mfg. Co. produced an industry-changing industrial welder and the rest is history.
Throughout the 40's, Miller's machines powered war efforts in the shipyards and defense plants. In the 50's, Miller played a key role in the construction of most major planes, jets, fighters and missiles. Companies like Boeing, Cessna, Lockheed, Douglas all used Miller machines in their factories. The 1970's brought the introduction of the Millermatic machines; the first power source with a built-in wire feeder.
Today, Miller Electric continues their dominance in the marketplace with machines like the Millermatic 211 and the Dynasty 200 DX, Auto-darkening welding helmets, and the Diversion 165 TIG Welder. Miller's full line of welding machines and welding accessories give their loyal customers plenty of reasons to "Bleed Blue."

Obviously you don't count on
Submitted by Denise (not verified) on Thu, 10/27/2011 - 4:17pm.
Obviously you don't count on the revenue that the film industry has brought to our area. So it's very easy for you to say this. Our previous incentives were not working and we were losing work to other states. So NC decided to up the ante. And it worked. I have seen what a major production or long-standing series does for our area. Hotel business picks up, restaurant business is better, the over 500 crew members that live in this area are given the opportunity to provide for their families and not have to work in another city or state, the retail business picks up, and the general morale of the area gets a lift.
Our local film people are hard-working, family-minded men and women who have been working toward something like this for a long time now. This production is the reward for all the years spent working on lower budget films and pilots and independents. I say we celebrate this as a great thing for our area and our citizens and stop with the negative comments that don't do anything to help.

Shaheen Jafargholi: Britain's Got Young Talent!by Hilton Hater at . Comments
It looks like this season of Britain's Got Talent will be a battle of the ages... literally!
While 48-year old Susan Boyle has been commanding most of the attention, following her mind-blowing rendition of "I Dreamed a Dream" from Les Miserables, a young competitor has stepped up to the challenge.
Only 12 years old, Shaheen Jafargholi did more than just belt out an incredible version of the Jackson 5's "Who's Loving You," he didn't cower from Simon Cowell.
Originally, Jafargholi started singing Amy Winehouse's "Valerie." But Simon stepped in, asked him to try another song and he delivered the following performance:
When asked by Entertainment Weekly if he could provide competition for Boyle, Shaheen replied:
"I think she's talented... I wish her the best because she's got talent and I think she should embrace it and take advantage of the attention because I think she deserves it... you don't know what's going to happen. And hopefully it will go my way, but if it doesn't, then I'm just really pleased with what happened so far."
The audition rounds for Britain's Got Talent aren't even complete yet, and this show already feels more heated than American Idol (only because Adam Lambert, hopefully, has that title sewn up.)
Who do you think will win: Boyle, Jafargholi or another competitor?
i hate shaheen wats-his-name!
I agree wholeheartedly with Jeff on 22 April. When I first heard Shaheen, he brought tears to my eyes and I thought how proud I would be, if I were his mother. Susan Boyle has a voice, but I sing that song better than she does - and as for a marketable entertainer, I think not. She takes very little pride in her appearance, and her character is not strong, as shown by her emotional outburst this week. I haven't heard another thing about Shaheen since he knocked the socks of everyone - what? was he too overwhelmingly talented? If Susan Boyle wins this contest, I will never watch it again - on principal - that it's not about who is th most talented, but about who can get the most sympathy votes.
What happened to Shaheen Jafargholi? Is he still in contention or was he "disappeared"?
I don't understand how Susan Boyle can even be compared to this young lad. She may be taller, but he is head and shoulders above her. Even before Shaheen came along I thought that Susan was incredibly over-rated. She is being exploited by the media, because of her looks, not her singing talent. Don't get me wrong, I think that she can sing, but if we were looking at a person who people termed "attractive", she would be a non-event., at least not getting the attention she is now. People are making her their cause du jour and that is wrong. I wish them best the both, but I think Shaheen has a more talented voice.
'valerie' is by the zutons not amy winehouse!!!!

Scientists at the University have a greater understanding of how our genes are controlled following a major research project.
The findings of the study, which looked at how proteins work as teams to control genes in the cells, could also help to unravel the mechanisms of disease such as cancer.
The five-year research, funded by the Medical Research Council, has been published in one of the top science journals, Molecular and Cellular Biology.
The research team, led by Dr Elena Klenova from the Department of Biological Sciences, looked at the protein called CTCF, which was previously identified as a key 'controller' of many of our genes, making them either active or inactive.
However, the scientists have discovered that other proteins were working with CTCF for fine tuning of the genes. This collaboration between CTCF and its neighbours at the molecular level provides the mechanism by which CTCF's function as a gene regulator is controlled.
Dr Dawn Farrar, the principal researcher on the project, said the discovery of the link between CTCF and other proteins was a 'fascinating example of molecular teamwork'.
Dr Klenova, said: 'Understanding the factors responsible for the regulation of our genes, and how, why and when particular genes are switched on and off may give us a greater understanding of general biological systems. It also helps us to unravel the mechanisms of disease such as cancer. We believe that our published study has contributed to present knowledge of gene regulation.'
It is hoped scientists will be able to build on this research – which was undertaken in collaboration with the Cancer Research UK Cambridge Research Institute and Karolinska Institute in Sweden – to further understand the factors responsible for the regulation of our genes, and how this can lead to disease.

You're Viewing discipleship Archives » Juicy Ecumenism
April 21, 2014
We need to understand that our commitment to obey God is a matter of duty, not part of a strategy to either recover dominance or religious freedom. Perhaps, however, if the wider society sees a significant minority of Christians who do not comply with state law and regulations requiring them to sin, and the resultant loss of talent and service to society, there will be accommodation … But whatever happens in the status of Christians in the wider society, our duty to God is clear. Our first commitment is as disciples of Christ – Christians – and only after that as Americans, or whatever other identities and allegiances we have.

Moral autonomy, the reigning doctrine of our age, is seriously inhibiting both truth and freedom for the gospel … Because the relativist challenge to truth and morality is so wide ranging, a successful strategy has to be on many fronts. It has to affect the "core of what people believe."

In 2014 American River Men's Tennis had another highly successful season, as indicated by the award nominees and winners at the Intercollegiate Tennis Association awards banquet. Lovedeep Singh was chosen as the 2014 Rookie of the Year. It is an award that honors the best first-year player in the state. Singh earned it with an overall record of 22-2 in singles and 20-3 in doubles. He reached the State Championship at Ojai singles final, before losing to Player of the Year Nathan Eshmade of Cerritos. For the second time in three years, Bo Jabery-Madison was named State Coach of the Year. ARC has been ranked top 6 in the state rankings in each of the last three seasons. The team has accumulated a 50-8 dual-team match record in those three years and they have won the Big 8 North Conference title in each of those seasons. In addition to the ITA award winners, Kevin Valentine was one of five finalists nominated for the Arthur Ashe Sportsmanship Award, and Andrew Swart was one of five finalists for the Assistant Coach of the Year.

Lovedeep Singh Reaches State Singles Final
The ARC Men's Tennis Team qualified four singles players and all three doubles teams for the 80-player singles and 80-team doubles draws of the State Individual Championships at Ojai. In the singles Lovedeep Singh went in as the #1 seed from Northern California. Kevin Valentine, Jimmy Giovannini, and Adam Duong also qualified and were seeded #7, #10, and #14 respectively. In the doubles Duong/Singh entered the tournament as the #1 seed from the North. Giovannini/Valentine were the #6 seed and Nick Cardoza/Nic Atkinson received the final North seed at #16.
All four ARC players received byes in the first round of singles. In the second round Giovannini and Duong lost close matches to Southern California players. Valentine won his second round match routinely and in the round of 32 he found himself pitted against San Diego Mesa #1, and Socal #10, James Tenbroeck. Tenbroeck jumped out early, winning the first set easily, 6-2. In the second set Valentine won several key long rallies, one of which was an 82 ball rally, and physically wore down Tenbroeck, winning the second set 6-1. In the third set Tenbroeck found another gear and took a 5-0 lead, only to see Valentine fight back to within a game. Unfortunately for Valentine and the Beavers, Valentine was unable to hold serve at 4-5, and he fell on the short end of 3-hour grind-fest of a match.
Singh had a tough draw from the third round on. In the round of 32 he played COD #2 player Felipe Fuentes. Singh overcame early match jitters, winning the first set 7-5, and found his rhythm in the second set cruising to a 6-2 victory. In the round of 16, Singh drew Irvine Valley #2, and Socal #8, Simon Guillin. Singh again struggled early in the first set, before winning the last nine games of the match for a 6-3, 6-0 win. Singh next faced Mt. San Jacinto #1, and Socal #4, Vitor Galvao. At 2-2 in the first set Galvao tweaked a pre-existing back injury and Singh took control of the match, winning the next five games before Galvao was forced to retire at 6-2, 1-0.
The semifinal match for Singh would be one for the highlight films. Singh met up with Richard Catabona from L.A. Pierce in a rematch of a straight-set victory for Singh earlier in the year. However, Catabona was a different player this time around, playing great counter-punching tennis, forcing Singh out of his comfort zone and into a physical battle. Singh went up an early break in the first set before Catabona came roaring back to tie the score at 3-3. They traded holds until Singh, serving at 5-6, played a loose game and was broken, giving Catabona the first set. In the second set it was more of the same physically demanding tennis. Singh played his best tennis in the big moments and won the set 6-3. In the third set both players were physically struggling, Catabona dealing with cramps and Singh suffering from the beginning stages of heat stroke. Singh broke early and was able to hold out for the rest of the set, despite facing several break points, to win the match 6-4 in the third. The energy from the crowd and the players was a truly remarkable sight to see and in many spectators opinions, it was the match of the tournament.
In the final Singh faced off in another rematch from earlier in the season, this time against Nathan Eshmade from Cerritos, his only previous loss on the season. Singh, still physically drained from his previous matches did not have enough in the tank to fend off the all-court attack from Eshmade. The Cerritos sophomore played a calculated and aggressive match, while Singh found himself too often behind the baseline retrieving, rather than attacking. Singh found glimpses of his top level, but was unable to sustain it long enough to get the better of Eshmade. In the end, it was a close, but convincing 7-5, 6-3 victory for Eshmade, the deserving champion of the state singles title.
In the doubles all three Beavers teams advanced to at least the third round. Nic Atkinson/Nick Cardoza beat the Bakersfield #2 team to advance to the round of 32 before being beaten by the Riverside #1, and Socal #2, team of Garcia/Stephenson. Giovannini/Valentine received the #6 seed from the North and reached the round of 16 before losing to the #3 team from the South, Campos/Galvao from Mt. San Jacinto in a match where they had several set points in the first, but were unable to convert. The second set was not as close as they fell 6-1. The North #1 seeded team of Duong/Singh rolled through the draw to the quarterfinals, but with Singh ailing after a hard day on the singles court, and their opponents playing their top tennis, Duong/Singh lost 6-4, 6-2 to Gray/Tshkirkin from Fresno City. Duong became the first player in American River College history to reach the state quarterfinals on two separate occasions.
It was an incredible year for the Beavers, filled with tremendous individual and team efforts. The Beavers will return up to three starters, setting the foundation for what could be another strong year for ARC Men's Tennis.
April 19, 2014
ARC: 3 Fresno City: 5
Conference: 8-0 Overall: 15-3
ARC came out firing in the doubles, going up an early break in each of the three matches. Unfortunately, #3 team Nic Atkinson/Nick Cardoza were unable to hold on, but #2 Jimmy Giovannini/Kevin Valentine and #1 Adam Duong/Lovedeep Singh both posted solid victories against their tough Ram opponents. In the singles, the Beavers lost at #3, #5, and #6 quickly to fall behind 4-2, but Duong kept the Beavers alive with a 6-3, 6-4 win at #4. The last two matches on were #1 Singh and #2 Valentine. As Singh won his second set to push his match to a third set, Valentine lost his second set tie-breaker after fighting off five match points to relinquish the team match, and thus the Beavers team season. It was an extremely successful year for the Beavers and it matches their best regional playoff run since they won the state title in 1966. The team still has the individual state championships at Ojai to play. The top four singles players and all three doubles teams qualified for the event. It will start on Thursday, April 24th. Among the seeded Beaver singles players are Singh (#1 Norcal), Valentine (#7 Norcal), Giovannini (#10 Norcal), and Duong (#14 Norcal). In the doubles Duong/Singh will enter the tournament as the #1 team from the north and Giovannini/Valentine will be the #6 seed from Norcal.

ARC: 5 Foothill: 3
Conference: 8-0 Overall: 15-2
In a rematch of the Beavers only Northern California loss on the year, ARC came out strong and finished even stronger on the way to qualifying for their second straight Norcal championship match. In the doubles, #2 team Jimmy Giovannini/Kevin Valentine were dominant in their 8-2 win. At #3 Nic Atkinson/Nick Cardoza got off to a good start before losing their lead, but eventually finished the match in an exciting tiebreak. At match-point Cardoza ripped a backhand crosscourt and Atkinson finished it off with a crossing backhand volley. Heading into the singles ahead 2-1, the Beavers earned quick victories at #1 (Lovedeep Singh) and at #4 (Adam Duong), and Cardoza clinched the match with his 6-3, 6-2 win at #5. #3 player Giovannini was ahead 6-4, 5-2 (40-0) when the match was stopped due to Cardoza winning the 5th match for the Beavers.

ARC: 3 Grossmont: 6
ARC: 6 Cerritos: 3
ARC: 9 L.A. Pierce: 0
The Beavers went 2-1 in the highly competitive North/South team tournament. In the opener the Beavers came out flat, falling behind 2-1 to Grossmont after the doubles and were never able to attain their top level, eventually falling 6-3 to the Griffins. In the second matchup of day one, the Beavers came out much stronger, taking a 3-0 lead into the singles after doubles play. One of the most exciting matches of the season featured the #1 doubles tandem of Adam Duong/Lovedeep Singh coming back from a 7-2, two-break deficit to beat the highly ranked team of Nathan Eshmade/Amadi Kagoma 9-8(4). ARC was able to carry the momentum into the singles winning three of the six matches and holding on for a 6-3 dual-team victory over the Falcons. On day two ARC swept L.A. Pierce 9-0 in one of the strongest team performances of the season. Individual highlights of the tournament included Adam Duong going undefeated at #4 singles and the #2 doubles team of Jimmy Giovannini and Kevin Valentine playing top-level tennis, winning each of their three doubles match by at least a two-break margin. Next up for the Beavers is the individual conference tournament in Santa Rosa, starting April 4th.
March 20, 2014
Conference: 8-0 Overall: 11-1
The Beavers and the Pirates faced off in a match that featured Norcal ranked #3, ARC, against Norcal #4, Modesto Junior College. The match was competitive from the start as #2 and #3 doubles each reached 6-6. The Beavers were able to pull away late at #3 doubles, but fell short at the #2 spot. Heading into the singles with a 2-1 lead, ARC fell behind quickly in four of the six singles matches, but were able to fight back and win each of them for a hard-fought 8-1 dual-match victory. Lovedeep Singh was dominant on the day, surrendering just two games total in #1 singles and #1 doubles combined. At #2 singles Kevin Valentine battled back from a 4-1 early deficit, winning eleven of the last twelve games for a 6-4, 6-1 win. Jimmy Giovannini and Adam Duong each won physical straight-set matches at #3 and #4 respectively. At #5 and #6 Nick Cardoza and Hien Bui were each down a set, but played resilient tennis to earn three-set victories. This match was much closer than the 8-1 final score would indicate. After playing seven matches in the last ten days, ARC will now have a week off before competing in the annual North/South tournament in Fresno.
March 11 - 21, 2014
ARC: 9 Sierra: 0
Conference: 8-0 Overall: 10-1

Season: 4-1 Conference: 3-0

ARC started off strong, winning the doubles lines at #1 and #2 against very solid Foothill teams. At #3 doubles the Beavers came out flat and were unable to come back from an early deficit. Heading into the singles ARC needed at least a split in the remaining 6 matches. Lovedeep Singh (#1) and Hien Bui (#6) each pulled out straight set wins, but the Beavers were unable to muster another singles victory to earn the dual-team win. Coming closest were Kevin Valentine (#3) and Adam Duong (#4), each of whom lost a 10-point match tie-break in lieu of a third set. Duong battled back from an 8-4 deficit in the 10-point match tie-break to even the score at 9-9, but was unable to keep the momentum going, eventually falling 11-9.

February 14 - 15, 2014
The 40th annual Modesto Junior College Tournament hosted fourteen schools, most of them from Northern California. The flighted tournament features a format that allows competitors to play opponents in a draw that play the same spot for their teams. Team awards are given based on the number of individual matches players win for their team in their respective draws. Of the fourteen teams competing, ARC finished second to Fresno City College by a score of 33-28. The next highest win total was Foothill College with 24.
Individual Beaver standouts included Lovedeep Singh and Adam Duong. Singh won the #1 singles draw, losing just four games en route to the final where he beat Fresno City #1 player Alex Babanine 6-1, 6-2. Duong reached the #4 singles final, where he fell to Fresno City #4 Scott Gray in a hard fought 6-2, 6-3 match.

Rapper Papoose has shared his reaction to his incarcerated wife Remy Ma's appeal for her involvement in a 2007 shooting being rejected in court yesterday (February 24).
Resorting to his Twitter page, Pap said the court battle is still in full swing.
"lock your body cant lock your mind remy is free mentally on to the next court the fight will not end haters keep hating," Pap tweeted Friday (February 25). (Papoose's Twitter)
Details of the rapper's appeal rejection hit the Internet yesterday evening.
New York's top court has upheld the conviction of rapper Remy Ma in the shooting of a friend in 2007. In a ruling Thursday, the Court of Appeals rejected arguments that a judge didn't properly inform jurors before they rendered a guilty verdict. The rapper's real name is Remy Smith. She's serving eight years in prison for criminal possession of a weapon and two counts of assault stemming from the struggle in which a friend was shot. Smith had accused the friend of stealing $3,000 from her pocketbook. (My Fox News)
Last year, Papoose spoke on Remy's possible early release.
"I can't speak about it in detail due to legal reasons, but we just recently got some great news concerning her second appeal" Papoose revealed in an interview. "Let's just say that she's blessed. I highly doubt she will have to serve the full time. If justice is served, then she will come home now. My plan is to see her walk out of that hellhole and get a breath of fresh air so we can enjoy life." (VIBE)
In early 2010, Remy said she hoped to be released from jail by the summer.
"Hopefully I can be home soon, like, before the summer," Remy told radio personality Jenny Boom Boom regarding her appeal. "If none of my appeals work and I had to do the most, probably another three years, a little bit over three years. I have eight [years], but you don't do the whole eight, you have to do about six and I've already done two." ("Jenny Boom Boom TV")

It's not every day that a Victoria's Secret model visits Grazia HQ so you can imagine the excitement when a real life Angel floated into our office this week. The Angel in question is Lindsay Ellingson, the blonde beauty from California who has hit the catwalk for the likes of Chanel, Christian Dior and Gucci as well as donning her wings for the almighty VS show. But rather than popping in on model business, Lindsay met us Graziettes to dish on her new jewellery line, Goldie Knots. Yes, the 29-year-old is not only astonishingly hot but she's also multi-talented, handmaking her own gorgeously delicate bracelets that come in an array of colours and patterns, accented by teeny diamonds. It's no wonder her catwalking mates have already got their mitts on them. And so it was that we found ourselves talking designing and jewels with the lady herself...
Lindsay Ellingson arrives at Grazia HQ to introduce us to Goldie Knots [Instagram]
Grazia Daily: So let's start at the beginnning! When did you start making your own bracelets?
Lindsay Ellingson: Our house was very artistic when I was growing up. My mom loved painting and she taught me how to sew so I would make Indian belts for my friends. I guess it stuck with me and when I started modeling, I developed an appreciation for fine, delicate jewellery but I wasn't finding exactly what I wanted. So I thought 'Wait, I can make this myself!'
GD: So what kind of jewellery did you want to make?
LE: The most important thing is that it's colourful and fun and has a youthful feeling, but is still high quality. You often find kiddy bracelets that use cheaper materials and there's nothing wrong with that, but I prefer to use 14 carat gold beads or diamonds so that the bracelets last and have a shine to them.
GD: Do you make them all yourself? It must be fiddly!
LE: Yes I make them all and each one takes an hour. I'm really good with my hands! I thought I was going to be a surgeon when I was younger.
GD: How do you find time inbetween modeling?
LE: I always travel with my kit so I can make bracelets on the plane or in my hotel room. That's what I'll be doing tonight! It's therapeutic and I love having a hobby and feeling creative. It's also special to have something that's my own.
Lindsay Ellingson shows us how it's done [Grazia_Live]
GD: At what point did you realise this could be a business?
LE: I was initially making them for myself and then my model friends, who have great style, started asking me where they could get them and my stylist friends wanted to rent them for shoots. They were used in Victoria's Secret catalogues so that gave me the confidence to launch Goldie Knots.
GD: Your fellow Victoria's Secret models have also tried designing – did they give you any advice?
LE: Yes, I really look up to them. Alessandra [Ambrosio] just launched her amazing clothing line, Lily [Aldridge] is designing a range of T-shirts for Velvet and Karlie [Kloss] has her Kookies so it's all very inspiring! We encourage each other and give each other advice. Everyone's doing something so different - jewellery, food, clothing - so it's cool to each have our own interest.
GD: Have any of them worn your bracelets yet?
LE: Yes, I've given them some. It's really exciting to see there's interest considering I started this off as my own little thing. My dream is to give each Angel who walks in the show one of my hot pink bracelets because Victoria's Secret always make these amazing goodie bags filled with their beauty products, sportswear, the robes...

GD: We can only imagine! So when can us non-Angels buy your bracelets?
LE: We're making final tweaks to the website then it's launching in a few months. I've just shot the lookbook with Adam Franzino who's an amazing Victoria's Secret photographer.
GD: What's it like modeling your own designs for a change?
LE: It's so much fun because sometimes as a model, you're not a part of the collaboration of the shoot but I had a say in the pictures and I brainstormed with everybody. I was kind of like the art director and I really enjoyed that.
GD: Where do you get your inspiration from?
LE: I get a lot of jewellery inspiration from Pinterest and when I travel, I find the local jewellery district to check out what's there. But it could just simply be the colours in nature. I also met the lady who made my logo through Instagram and I'm always getting style inspiration from bloggers I follow like Aimee Song.
Lindsay showcases her creations [Grazia_Live]
GD: How would you describe your own jewellery style?
LE: Minimal is always better for me. I like pieces that are delicate, classy and dainty.
GD: So what jewellery would you wear on a first date?
LE: It's great to bring attention to your eyes and your face so I would wear tiny diamond earrings. I have these beautiful earrings that are just a chain with a teeny tiny diamond hanging down. I'd rather wear those than a diamond necklace that draws attention here! [laughs and points to her chest] I also love wearing pretty little diamond rings.
GD: As for the future, how do you see GoldieKnots growing?
LE: We're still very small – it's just me and two other artists hand-making the bracelets in New York – so hopefully we can expand organically. My dream would be to make rings and necklaces but still stick to higher quality materials and work more with diamonds. Honestly, I'm happy to just go with the flow and to continue putting my heart into it. It's a whole new journey!

Skin Home Remedies for Acne – 11 Tips To Detox Skin Complaints
Skin Home Remedies
Can they really help acne?
Skin home remedies are a natural, and economical, way to treat your skin to a detox. Our skin is on show all the time and sometimes it can reflect when all is not well inside our bodies.
Acne is a particularly difficult skin complaint. Some people escape it completely, others suffer for years. A slow metabolism is thought to be linked to acne problems, causing the harmful toxins to stay in the body for too long.
Our bodies face attack from toxins we encounter in our daily lives. Your body has it's own detox system and it throws out blood borne toxins called allergens. When this fails, it causes various skin problems such as eczema, hives, psoriasis and acne.

It's hard to believe that Portland ever lacked a dearth of quality paddle outfitters, considering the many evergreen-lined rivers and nearby coastline. But back in 1986, the founders of Alder Creek Kayak & Canoe felt there were too few options serving the area, so they launched their own garage shop. Their passion for the outdoors and paddle sports steadily built the company, and today, a staff of equipment experts advises guests on kayaking, canoeing, standup-paddleboarding, and rafting supplies. Beyond selling gear from vessels to apparel, staffers lead on-the-water classes and organize group trips. The shop also outfits customers for independent exploration with a fleet of rentals.
With Imperial River Company, active relaxation isn't an oxymoron. That's because the company lives by its motto: "Actively relaxing on the banks of the Deschutes River." It does this by harnessing the area's rolling hills and serpentine river for a wealth of outdoor getaways. Whitewater rafting acquaints guests with the Deschutes River's undulating waters during guided rafting trips that launch from a private dock and return to the same area for picnics and beach volleyball. Additionally, fishing expeditions help guests reel in wild redside trout and summer steelhead while taking in the postcard views of the locale, and cycling services rent out single and tandem bikes for calming jaunts along winding roads and around canyons.
Housed at the bottom of the roaring Willamette Falls, which comprises the confluence of Willamette and Clackamas Rivers, eNRG Kayaking's on-water shop and docks serve as the home base for instructional excursions in kayaking, rapids rafting, and standup paddleboarding. Head instructor Sam Drevo also helps those more experienced in watersports to attain a swift-water rescue certification or an ACA instructor certification, required credentials to shake hands with most river deities. Sam watches over all levels of kayakers with experience earned through years of competing, including a ranking as the world's sixth-best freestyle kayaker in 1998 and a first-place win at the Ford Gorge Games' Outdoor World Championships in 2001.
When Sam is not leading tours around the falls or down segments of either river, he guides extended expeditions to other northwestern and foreign waterways. His 16 international aquatic excursions have taken paddlers to rivers on four continents, through countries such as Canada, Costa Rica, Thailand, Laos, China, India, and Botswana. Sam and his staff aim to protect the rivers through eco-friendly exploration and sell a range of kayak models to help others to similarly respect the ecosystem or sneak up and tickle unsuspecting bass.
The outdoor experts of Northwest River Guides lead whitewater-rafting, kayaking, and standup-paddleboarding trips on local waters that range from the Willamette to Klickitat Rivers. They also prepare adventurers for independent outings through kayaking classes, including advanced training in swift-water rescue. For those seeking once-in-a-lifetime experiences or to bolster their strange-and-exotic-water collections, Northwest's guides organize international expeditions to such destinations as Canada, Costa Rica, and Scandinavia. Members of American Whitewater, the Outdoor Alliance, and Portland-based nonprofit We Love Clean Rivers, guides advocate preservation and stewardship during each trip.
At Natural High Rafting, they lead guided rafting and fishing trips on more than 12 of Oregon's scenic and coastal rivers, including the Deschutes and Clackamas. The fishing trips also seek out fish by species, often encountering monsters such as steelhead, trout, and coho and chinook salmon.
In the shadow of the Deschutes River?s towering buttes and sheer rock faces, High Desert River Outfitters? rafts soar over swirling rapids. The outfitter?s river guides have been navigating this river since 1990 and have mastered its most challenging rapids and eddies. In addition to firsthand experience, all guides boasts extensive training in swift-water safety and rescue, as well as certifications in first aid and CPR. They welcome adventurers of all ages, carefully tailoring trips to suit skill levels.
Groups can embark on leisurely half-day sojourns that provide a quick riverside glimpse of the surrounding landscape. Additionally, on any trips that last a day or longer, guides prepare barbecue lunches for all their guests to provide them with the energy necessary to control the rafts and physically remove any stowaway mountain goats.
