Tigers sign Joel Hanrahan
Friday at noon Dave Dombrowski called a teleconference to announce that the Detroit Tigers have officially signed RHP Joel Hanrahan to a one year contract. The contract guarantees him $1 million, and could increase to $2 million with incentives. Hanrahan was considered one of the more dominant relievers in the MLB up until his arm injury last year.
Hanrahan only pitched in nine games with the Red Sox in 2013 before having season ending elbow surgery. A year replaced from Tommy John Surgery, the Tigers hope that he can recapture some of his past dominance. Over the course of his entire career he has a 9.81 K/9 rate and a 4.4 BB/9 rate. He was the closer for the Pittsburgh Pirates in 2011 and 2012 and has recorded 100 saves with a 3.85 ERA, and a 3.75 FIP.
Take a look at Hanrahan's Whiffs per Swing percentages between 2010 and 2012 when he pitched for the Pirates.
As you can see, Hanrahan's slider was nasty, and his high whiffs/swing percentage confirms that (52.21% in 2010, 58.82% in 2011, and 59.85% in 2012). His best fastball whiff/swing percentage was 18.35 in 2012, and he also had an average velocity of around 97 MPH between 10' and 12'. Yeah, those are some pretty darn good numbers.
Obviously, there is no guarantee that Hanrahan will be able to recapture the form that made him so dominant, but with the current state of the bullpen, the Tigers have nothing to lose. With that being said, the Tigers would not have signed him in the first place if their scouts didn't like what they saw in his bullpen sessions last week.
There is no official timetable on when he will make his Detroit debut, but he has not faced live hitters since early 2013. My guess is that he will spend the month of May in Lakeland facing live hitters in Single A, and then will get called up sometime in the middle of June. Although I don't think Hanrahan automatically means that the Tigers' bullpen is fixed, I do think it's a giant step in the right direction. Due to the cost and potential, this signing is low risk, and could be highly rewarding. This next sentence might sound unprofessional, but it's all I can think of to close this article. Man, would it be nice to have another reliable arm in the bullpen.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn (WVLT)- Another new public housing development is finished in the Five Points area of Knoxville.
This is one of many phases KCDC is working on to revitalize that area.
There are two six unit buildings, each one will house 12 families.
They're equipped with energy efficient appliances and each one has two large bedrooms.
Tuesday, city and county officials cut the ribbon to officially open these buildings.
Alvin Nance, Executive Director and CEO of Knoxville's Community Development Corporation says this is just a small step in a big picture, "This is our first phase of family style units in this community so we're really excited about this because the families get to move in with their kids directly behind the park."
People will start moving in as early as next month.

2013 Bathroom Trends
If House & Home has anything to say about it, 2013 is all about bathroom decorating. It's now at the top of designers' lists — you may have noticed our love of statement tubs in recent issues.
For the past 30 years, PierDeco Design has been at the forefront of bathroom trends, creating state-of-the-art bathroom furniture. Modern materials and sleek designs make them tastemakers in the industry. (This blog post is sponsored by PierDeco Design.) Here are a few of our favourite new products from the company:
Acclaimed Italian industrial designer Antonio Bullo created the Day Evo Bathtub. Available in teak or cedar wood, the tub's clean, modern lines exemplify a sophisticated, Scandinavian style. The Yell Okoumè Shower Column complements the tub's minimalist look.
The multilayer wood Next Step Evo Bathtub takes the Day Evo's sharp lines and softens them, creating a warm, inviting silhouette. The wall-mounted Shift Hub offers an unobtrusive, architectural alternative to the standard sink.
Indulge in a spa-like experience at home with a sleek stainless steel shower column that features adjustable rainfall, flexible jet showerhead and a square brush handheld shower. Did we mention the AquaMassage Shower Column has a thermostatic temperature control valve? Finding the perfect temperature just got easier.
Create a dramatic moment with the Red Cube Vanity. A matching statement tub pops against a fresh grey and white room. Opt for the PD-890-S AquaMassage Shower Column to give a room a high-tech feel. The thermostatic waterfall shower column is illuminated by relaxing chromotherapy LED lights.
It's time to up the ante on bathroom design and we've definitely found some new inspiration for our next bathroom makeover. If you're about to take on a bathroom reno and want more information, have a look at PierDeco Design's full range of products at pierdeco.com or call 1-855-417-3740.

Killer Queen
|"Killer Queen"
|Single by Queen
|from the album Sheer Heart Attack
|"Flick of the Wrist"
|21 October 1974
|Vinyl (7")
|1974, Trident Studios
|EMI (UK), Elektra (US)
|Freddie Mercury
|Roy Thomas Baker, Queen
|Queen singles chronology
"Killer Queen" is a song by the British rock band Queen. Written by pianist and lead singer Freddie Mercury, it was featured on their 1974 album Sheer Heart Attack, and also appears on the band's compilation album, Greatest Hits.[1] When released as a single, "Killer Queen" was Queen's breakthrough hit, reaching number two in the United Kingdom and number 12 in the United States.[2][3] It was released as a double A-side in the UK, the US and Canada (where it reached number 15 in the RPM 100 national singles chart),[4] with the song "Flick of the Wrist". In 1986, it was featured as the B-side to "Who Wants to Live Forever".[5]
Mercury commented that he wrote the lyrics first before adding the musical arrangements. The recording features elaborate four-part harmonies (particularly in the choruses, and also providing backing parts in the verses), and also an elaborate multitracked guitar solo by Brian May, including use of the "bell effect". The song, in the second line, mentions the phrase "Let them eat cake", a phrase (mis)attributed to Marie Antoinette: "Let them eat cake," she said, Just like Marie Antoinette. In an interview for a documentary video about Queen, Eric Hall, who promoted Queen in radio stations at that time, unveiled that the song was written about him. Eric Hall:
|The story is this: He comes to see me one day to play me a record, and he says to me, "Eric, I want you to hear this." And he puts this record on. I said, "Love it, love it. It's gonna be a hit. Love it, monster. Monster me!" [Freddie then says], "No, you have... Eric. Have a listen to the lyric." He put it on again. ♪ She keeps Moet et Chandon in her pretty cabinet...♪ [Freddie:] "This song's about you. I'm the Queen—me. "I'm" being Freddie, and I can't have you. And that's killing me." Now I listen to it again. He was right, 'cause I had a pretty cabinet at EMI which I kept Moet et Chandon on.[6]
Recording sessions[edit]
Besides using his grand piano as usual, Mercury overdubbed the song with an upright (credited as "jangle piano"), to give the track a vaudeville sound. At one point there are two bass guitars, one of which does a descending run. Contrary to songs for the first two Queen albums, this one was partly recorded outside England, at Rockfield Studios in Wales.[7]
Queen on the record[edit]
Freddie Mercury:[8]
|People are used to hard rock, energy music from Queen, yet with this single you almost expect Noel Coward to sing it. It's one of those bowler hat, black suspender belt numbers – not that Coward would wear that. (...) It's about a high class call girl. I'm trying to say that classy people can be whores as well. That's what the song is about, though I'd prefer people to put their interpretation upon it – to read into it what they like.
Brian May:
|'Killer Queen' was the turning point. It was the song that best summed up our kind of music, and a big hit, and we desperately needed it as a mark of something successful happening for us... I was always very happy with this song. The whole record was made in a very craftsman-like manner. I still enjoy listening to it because there's a lot to listen to, but it never gets cluttered. There's always space for all the little ideas to come through. And of course, I like the solo, with that three-part section, where each part has its own voice. What can I say? It's vintage Queen. The first time I heard Freddie playing that song, I was lying in my room in Rockfield [a residential recording studio in Wales], feeling very sick. After Queen's first American tour, I had hepatitis, and then I had very bad stomach problems and I had to be operated on. So I remember just lying there, hearing Freddie play this really great song and feeling sad, because I thought, 'I can't even get out of bed to participate in this. Maybe the group will have to go on without me.' No one could figure out what was wrong with me. But then I did go into the hospital and I got fixed up, thank God. And when I came out again, we were able to finish off 'Killer Queen.' They left some space for me and I did the solo. I had strong feelings about one of the harmony bits in the chorus, so we had another go at that too.
Live performances[edit]
The song was played from 1974–78 live as part of a medley.[9][10][11][12] In 1974, the song was played following "In the Lap of the Gods",[9] and in 1975–76, the song was played after "Bohemian Rhapsody".[10] In 1977, the song was played as the introduction to a medley, followed by "Good Old-Fashioned Lover Boy",[12] and in 1978, preceded "Bicycle Race".[13] In 1979, the band played most of the song, and after the guitar solo ended, the opening bars of "I'm in Love with My Car" were played.[14] The song was played at the Montreal Forum, Quebec, Canada in November 1981, and is recorded in the live album, Queen Rock Montreal.[15] In 1984 and 1985, during The Works Tour, it was reintroduced in a medley following a truncated version of "Somebody to Love".[16]

I can't aim a gun for the life of meI always sucked at Duck Hunt. I can say with certainty that I would never make a good hunter (besides, I don't want to shoot animals, anyway, but that's one girl's opinion). But the way I figure it, if someone's going to hunt, they should hunt. And they shouldn't waste time on the small stuff like Bambi's mom either; they need to go for the big game. All's fair in a game of hunter versus grizzly if you ask me. If you want to check out what game hunters bring home, head to Cabela's in Fort Worth, 12901 Cabela Drive, from now until June 23, when the Boone and Crockett Club's 26th Big Game Awards celebration will be going down. Over 100 of the biggest big-game trophies will be on display, including the third-largest black bear, Tule elk and musk oxen. Admission to the trophy display is free to the public during store hours.

Major John Allard, PIO Office, 785-2415, 24-Hour Press Box: 799-2001, Ext. 1100
Man Arrested for Unlawfully Presenting Himself as a Nurse
Lexington County Sheriff's Department detectives in cooperation with the Kershaw County Sheriff's Office arrested a 28-year-old Lugoff man on charges that the man unlawfully presented himself and practiced as a nurse and licensed practical nurse while the man provided medical services at a medical facility on Medical Circle near West Columbia.
Lexington County Sheriff James R. Metts said detectives obtained an arrest warrant for Kerston Kyle Turner, 28, of 113 Linde Lane, Lugoff, on a charge of unlicensed practice as a nurse and licensed practical nurse and asked Kershaw County deputies to arrest Turner at his Lugoff home. Kershaw County deputies arrested Turner on Friday, January 24. Lexington County deputies on Monday, January 27 transported Turner to the Lexington County Detention Center, where Turner was being held on Monday while awaiting a bond hearing.
An arrest warrant alleges that on January 14 Turner willfully and unlawfully presented himself as a nurse and licensed practical nurse to a 16-year-old boy and the boy's mother while Turner provided medical services, which were not medically necessary, to the 16-year-old boy at MedCare Urgent Care Center, 110 Medical Circle, West Columbia, Metts said.
The arrest warrant further alleges that Turner, who had the word nurse tattooed on one of his forearms, performed unlawful services on the 16-year-old boy that were outside the scope of Turner's certification as a certified nursing assistant and constituted a sexual assault on the 16-year-old boy, Metts said. The South Carolina Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation certified Turner to work only as a certified nursing assistant.
Turner previously was arrested on January 17 on arrest warrants that detectives obtained for Turner on charges of engaging a child under the age of 18 in a sexual performance and first-degree assault and battery in connection with the unlawful services that Turner performed on the 16-year-old boy, Metts said. Turner was released from the Lexington County Detention Center on January 18 after Turner posted bail totaling $10,000.
Metts asked anyone with information about additional criminal activity involving Turner or information about situations in which Turner has interacted inappropriately with children to contact the Lexington County Sheriff's Department at (803) 785-8230 or CrimeStoppers at 1-888-CRIME-SC. Citizens also can provide information anonymously by accessing the Crime Tip link on the Sheriff's Department web site (www.lexingtonsheriff.com).

Using Broad Vs. Narrow Personality Measures To Predict Leadership Success: Does Keeping It Simple Have An Impact On Predictive Power And Utility?
Free registration required
Executive Summary
This paper sets out the arguments for using broad versus narrow personality traits to predict leadership success. It includes a summary of the Five-Factor Model, highlights limitations of using the model, and considers specific practical considerations for researchers and practitioners when choosing whether to take a broad rather than a narrow approach when measuring personality. This paper demonstrates the superiority of specific personality measures (ie Primary Factors) over broad personality measures (ie Global Factors). In summary, keeping it simple does have a negative impact on predictive power and utility, as well as on the value to the respondent. The optimum approach for researchers and practitioners is to assess personality by using narrow trait measures.

The world will never be the same... never again. We have lost an amazing man to this terrible disease. Not once did he complain.... not once did he ask why. He kept on smiling... he kept on loving his family and touching our hearts. He was full of life... loved life more than anyone we know. His laugh was contagious and his generousity was unmatched.
We need to let people with ALS know they are not alone. ALS affects more than nerve cells and muscles, it affects families, friends, co-workers, and communities.
With no known cause or cure, ALS challenges the human spirit and tests the courage of everyone touched by this devastating disease.
However, we can work together to create a Community of Hope that restores dreams and builds courage. Our community gives strength and hope to our loved ones, neighbors, and friends facing the fear and uncertainty of ALS.
Your gifts will make this possible. Please click the donation button to the right if you want to help other families fighting this disease and contribute to the research of finding a cure.
Thank you for helping us build a Community of Hope and honoring our HERO! Goran has a special place in the hearts of everyone he touched and we will continue to celebrate his life and the amazing person he is!

A Day to Celebrate Big Guy
On August 2nd 2014 we celebrated Big Guy at the Buffalo ALS walk. I spent the months leading up to the event planning with the ALS walk committee as I now hold the logistics chair for the walk... It was one of the best experiences I have had. I met amazing people, got to help a great cause and most of all... honor my dad.
The meets were held in Orchard Park and I really looked forward to them. The 30 minute drive there and back became my time to listen to the radio and think about my daddy and how much I missed him.
Our Team had over 60 walkers.. we were the 3rd largest team out of 55! Our team alone raised $4,650.00 with the event bringing in over $170,000 for ALS! We ranked in at #7 out of 55 for fundraising. We sported our Big Guy T shirts with swedish flags on the sleeves... It truly was a perfect day. The forecast called for rain... but that morning the sun sure was shining! My dad use to always say that i lucked out with the weather.. every party we ever had the sun shined.... I know that it was him looking down on us! I can't wait for next years walk! It was so touching to have all our friends and family come together for the event... I miss you daddy....

Trying to heal the wounds
I am convinced that when you lose a loved one... you never really heal. Your life will never be the same and the Grieving that is estimated to last about 6 months... well it will last forever. What I am starting to realize is how to pick up some of the broken pieces...and try to one by one glue them back together.
My 27th Birthday was on June 9th... exactly 3 months after my dad passed away. I dreaded the day... even though I know my dad wouldnt want me to... he was always the big celebrator in our family. Although I missed him dearly, had my outburts of tears.... my family came together and made the day really special. I learned that because of him... the way he celebrated our birthdays... my family picked up the pieces and carried on the tradition.
Father's day.... Another really hard day... It was heart breaking to wake up that morning and not be able to call him and tell him I loved him. I felt sad and devastated... I texted Toby and simply said "It sucks not having a dad"... his reply was simply "Yes, it sucks".... I think we both cried while exchanging those texts....Sure.. we celebrated my wonderful husband and father in law... but something was missing... my dad was missing.
Talon's birthday... He turned 6 yesterday.... As Talon opened his presents one by one... he opened a very special one... it was a shutterfly book titled "My favorite memories of farfar".... I poured my heart and soul into it... it was never perfect enough but I convinced myself I would just have to make him more books... because lets face it there are probably thousands of pictures I wanted to insert. When my father passed away I decided that one of the best ways to honor him was to make sure that his grandkids, who he loved more than anything in this world, would vividly remember how amazing he was.... That is when I decided that this year every grandchild will get a Photobook with their favorite memories of Farfar, filled with only pictures of him and the birthday kid.... I know he would love that.... Talon loved his book and I have a feeling it will become his favorite bedtime story!
I guess what I am saying is that we never really heal completely... our hearts never truly mend... there will always be broken pieces and there will always be scars... BUT.... slowly day by day we adjust... and we figure out ways to continue honoring our loved ones... and we learn that even though they arent here on earth... they are forever in our hearts.
I am so looking forward to the ALS walk on August 2nd... it has been such a good outlet for me to be apart of the committee and I love making a difference. We currently have the largest team in Buffalo and have raised over $1300.00. I just cant wait to walk that day with our friends and family... honoring one of the most amazing people we all knew....

Trying to adjust....
Easter passed... it's now over... I had so much nervousness, anxiety and sadness with Easter approaching that I really wasnt my normal self. I usually go all out for Holidays... it is something my dad and I had very much in common. This year it felt as though I just wanted it to come and go. Dont get me wrong, I wanted my kids to enjoy the holiday but I was secretly crying inside. It was the first of many holidays without dad... It was so different... The day went better than I had anticipated... I thought I would just cry all day... but it all hit me right after the easter egg hunt. I got through the hunt just fine... but when that settled.. it hit me hard... I had to pull myself together for a few minutes in my moms bedroom. I know the day was hard for her but boy is she amazing. She invited over Leanne's mom as well as Andrew's parents to her house. I mean the woman just lost her husband and she pulled off this amazing day and made it special for everyone. I know how hard it was for sure but she did a great job. Toby.... he is just awesome. He pulled off the egg hunt flawlessly... and then he did the most amazing thing. My father had this wooden face that you attached to the tree, it made it look like the tree had a face LOL... the thing that was great was that it looked just like him... Well my dad never hung it up at the new house, he actually left it at the old house. Well, Toby had gone to get it... and on Easter he got out the ladder and hung it up with the kids... It is almost like its dad watching over us. On Easter Sunday we also lost my husbands Grandmother. .. It was so hard to tell Talon that another amazing person has left this world... but he felt better when I told him "farfar" was welcoming her into Heaven... but Boy.. 2014 has been a rough year! I am hoping the rest of the year is quiet and uneventful.
I keep waiting for it to get easier, for it to finally sink in and stop hurting so much... but the truth is that it hurts more and more each day. Talon has started baseball and everytime I drive him there I think of my dad, and how he would be right there next to me cheering for him... I have asked myself a million times why him... why now?
Tonight I am heading to the first ALS Buffalo Walk committee meeting. I was asked to join the committee and am super excited... but a little nervous that my emotions will get the best of me. One thing is for sure, if I can do anything to try to bring awareness to ALS and help find a CURE i am going to. I wish no family the pain that we have gone through... My hope is for a world with no ALS....
We are over halfway to our goal... but the truth is our goal is neverending... our fight will go on forever.... I miss you daddy.... your Queen Bee

Missing my daddy
We did it.. we made it through the wake and service.... we are so appreciative of all the folks who came out to honor my dad at the wake and service. There was one point at the wake that i left the room and came back and it was packed. I stood there, taking it all in. The room was absolutely jam packed... because my father had an impact on all those people standing there... It made me even prouder to be his daughter.
The Eulogy was so hard to write and even harder to share but I was determined to get through it... I wanted to share with the world how amazing my father was.
The week after everything "settles" is really awkward. Going back to work monday was exactly what I needed to do but it just felt weird. Leaving work and going straight home instead of my parents house to help take care of my dad just didnt feel right.
I am really trying to put my energy towards my boys... and try to focus on the positive things in life but it is REALLY hard. Just when I think I am going to be OK... something happen.. like the Appointment reminder for "DADS DENT Doc appt" poping up this am on my computer.
Oh how I miss him :( I can't explain it but I feel like I have been ripped off! I know that i have more amazing memories with my dad than most people have in their entire lifetime.. but I really did appreciate him everyday of his life... why couldnt i have that longer? He was my rock!
Thank you everyone for your support

Thank you... It truly is humbling
Thank you to everyone for your kind words, support, love and contributions to the ALS BIG GUY fund. Last Tuesday I was driving my dad to the hospital for his second attempt at a feeding tube placement... he was quiet because he was nervous... OK and because he thought I was the worlds worst driver and frequently told me that everytime he got in in my car he was risking his life!!!
.... anyways... we were driving down Maple and he all he said was "what a terrible disease this is... I hope that very soon this disease ends... It is terrible to have it take over your body"... He then went on to try to reassure me that Toby and I wouldn't be subject to this terrible disease... it was like he was trying to reassure himself... That's dad... always worrying about others.
It is amazing how much support we have received.. from all over the world... He truly had such an impact on people everywhere. Today is the perfect day for a snowstorm (other than poor Toby having to plow :) ).... I can sit inside all day and pour my heart and soul into his scrapbooks... pictures.... memorial cards.... It is almost therapeutic for me to sit there... with hundreds of photos of him spread all over the floor.... arranging them...
Thank you again for all of your support... Dad is surely looking down smiling at us all.
- Sue

The Silence....
Silence,,,,, the silence. No FB posts , No phone calls, No weather alerts , No dog pictures, No group text messages, No emails, and No more drop ins. Those are just a few of the many we all miss from you. You were always there to check in , make sure we were ok. These last 2 days have been silent. You touched the lives of so many around the world , I know they can all feel the silence.....
We pray every night with Matias, and he asks Jesus to make far far and max better and bring them back down to the ground . I'm not sure how we will get these little kids through this silence either. It's true when they say one day at a time. We will have to somehow make a new normal I know this , but there will always be a little "noise" we are missing. I love you to the moon and back!

The day that not even 'the planner" can plan for
Growing up I had a little bit of OCD... okay ALOT! My dad would certainly tell you that I was the planner in the family. This is probably why at an early age he started calling me "Queen Bee"... In his phone I am saved as "QB"... When he answered he would say "Hi Queen Bee"... It was just the way things always were... I planned and planned and planned... I wanted things to be perfect and I wanted them in order.
When my father was diagnosed with ALS I knew that I had to plan for that dreaded day... the day he left us. I swear every week I had good intentions to go to Amigone... and plan. Planning gives me comfort... But each week I procrastinated. It is probably the one and only thing in my life I kept pushing away off of my "To-Do" list. Well... I never planned... and looking back, I probably couldn't ever have done it. Toby picked me up this morning at 8:30... as we drove to Amigone we both knew what dad wanted... we just knew how he was. It was hard.... it hurt... and I just hate being in those funeral homes...
As we walked out we chuckled.. I looked at Toby and said "dad is looking down on us swearing about how much money we just spent!!!!" On the drive home we decided one thing for sure... After the service there will be coffee AND PAULA's DONUTS! those were his favorite!!! A couple weeks ago he would call me in the morning and ask me to stop there for him... He loved Paula's!
We did it... we made it another day... one day at a time right?!
-Queen Bee :)

Getting through the first day without Daddy....
When you lose someone you love so dearly... It really changes you. You feel emptiness, devastation and absolute fear. We are blessed to have an AMAZING family. It is for sure what my dad was proudest of... But still... getting through that first day is so hard. "Taking one day at a time" never related so much to us before. The house tonight was full of the kids running around... but it still felt so empty... He wasn't there... cracking jokes, teasing us and kissing those grandbabies.
It is amazing how people come together when something so terrible happens. The Englert family and Gross Family came by with loads of food... Talon and Matias were thrilled.. they ate like grown men :) Thank you to everyone for all your kind words... I know we all feel devastated tonight... This week is going to be tough.. really tough... but we look forward to celebrating his life and honoring him forever.
As my dad would say on facebook "Good night my friends, sleep well and tomorrow I hope you wake up feeling well rested"- The Viking!

Gwyneth Paltrow Trouble with Goop No Big Whoop
By Daniel Gates | 3:26 pm, December 18th, 2009
Could Gwyneth Paltrow's recent vacation land her in hot water?
A story getting a lot of play speculates that the actress might be the first celebrity "to run afoul of the Federal Trade Commission's stringent new guidelines for paid endorsements."
What's Paltrow's alleged offense?
Her recent praise of the La Mamounia Hotel in Marrakech, Morocco after a Thanksgiving visit.
On her lifestyle site Goop, Paltrow wrote glowingly of the hotel's luxurious features, including its gardens, designed interiors, spa treatments, and dining options.
The problem?
The FTC published new guidelines last month under which a celebrity who endorses a product or service "has to disclose any 'material connection' to the provider," including free merchandise and services in addition to cash payments.
Since many high-profile guests like Paltrow and Jennifer Aniston are rumored to be given accommodations at places like La Mamounia in exchange for the publicity they attract, and since the new rules "specifically target new media like e-newsletters and websites" (Goop's two formats), DailyFinance.com speculates that Paltrow's high praise could be subject to a high fine.
Gossip Cop suspected the reports were making a mountain out of a molehill. A representative for Paltrow dismissed the severity of the claims. "She always talks about places she has been and loves on Goop," he told Gossip Cop, "This is no different."

When the Better Business Bureau, Indiana State Police and U.S. Postal Service all endorse something, it's probably worth paying attention.
Those organizations are joining with 3Rivers Federal Credit Union and Iron Mountain Records Management to offer consumers free document shredding next month during National Consumer Protection Week.
Marjorie Stephens, spokeswoman for the Better Business Bureau for northern Indiana, said shredding unneeded documents keeps them out of the hands of identity thieves.
There are still Dumpster divers people do get into garbage cans to see if there is any information they can glean, such as a Social Security number, she said Friday.
An identity thief could respond to a discarded credit card offer, activate the card and direct bills to another address, Stephens said. The victim could end up with thousands of dollars of merchandise charged in his name.
One of the best ways to prevent that from happening is to register with consumer credit bureau Experian's opt-out service to stop credit card offers from arriving in the first place, Stephens said. Call 888-567-8688 to join the list.
The Direct Marketing Association also offers consumers the opportunity to reduce the amount of junk mail they receive. To remove your name from various mailing lists, go to www.DMAchoice.org.
I'm telling you, I don't get a lot of junk mail at all, Stephens said. Using this is great.
For documents that do need to be shredded – including bank statements more than 3 years old and expired contracts more than 7 years old – the service will be offered free March 6.
A similar event last June resulted in 11,500 pounds of paper being destroyed, Stephens said.
The local BBB office offers consumers a one-page, IRS-issued guide for how long various documents should be kept. Contact the office at 423-4433 to request a copy.
Several types of documents should be kept permanently, including tax returns, audit reports and canceled checks for important payments, including taxes, property purchases and special contracts.
Melissa Shaw, 3Rivers spokeswoman, said the local credit union expects to offer free shredding three times this year. The other two sessions have not been scheduled.
3Rivers will also distribute information in the lobby on March 5 to help protect its members and others from identity theft.

Windows 7 Desktop Windows Manager Cuts Memory Usage By 50%
This was posted and an interesting screenshot taken from the presentation by Anantha Kancherla which was about "Writing Your Application to Shine on Modern Graphics Hardware". It contained a sheet that mentioned that Windows 7 will cut memory usage in the graphics system of the Windows 7 Desktop Windows Manager by 50%. The same chart mentioned that the Windows 7 desktop manager will make use of the Direct3D 10.1 API which probably meant that it is supported if the video card is supporting DirectX 10.1. It is unlikely that Windows 7 will require a DirectX 10 video card to run at all given the current market share of those video cards.

Tony Stewart is proving that that things we love might not always be good for us. After a big tumble across an Ontario short track, the driver of the number 14 car and co-owner of Stewart-Haas Racing had another incident, this time at a half-mile dirt track in Oskaloosa, IA. And unlike that last crash, Stewart sustained some pretty bad injuries.
Stewart broke both the tibia and fibula in his right leg, although the severity of the breaks weren't mentioned. According to a report from NASCAR, which cites The Des Moines Register, Stewart was alert and talking when he was pulled from the car, but was rushed into surgery on arrival at a local hospital. The report doesn't mention any additional injuries to the other three drivers involved.
Stewart was in the lead of the Front Row Challenge on Monday night, a winged sprint car race, taking place about an hour east of Des Moines. A backmarker lost control and ended up tangling with the three front runners near the end of the race. The incident has a healthy dose of irony following comments Stewart made to NASCAR after last week's crash, "You guys (in the media) need to watch more sprint car videos and stuff. It's starting to get annoying this week about that. That was just an average sprint car wreck. When they wreck, they get upside down like that. That was not a big deal." This one was apparently a much bigger deal.
With a broken right leg, Stewart won't be racing at this weekend's Sprint Cup race at Watkins Glen. It's unclear who Stewart-Haas Racing will field as a replacement and how long the three-time champion will be out.

Olde Philadelphia Pineapple is a truly mediocre soda. The product has a lightly sweet flavor, but there's just not a whole lot of taste to this product. It's basically just a generic soda flavor and is not very pleasing to the mouth. We'd recommend putting a sweeter more defined pineapple flavor into this product. For now, it's not a good product.

I Believe
I am here, I hear you, I understand, and I care! Come talk with me.
About Me
I am here.Denton is my town where I live wtih my husband of 17 years and 3 children. I work in Corinth, just south of there, and worship at a church that has campuses across the Dallas Metroplex. I'm also an Aggie and a graduate of Sam Houston, so I've been all over Texas.
I care: At 16 I wrote in my life goals: to work with people who were discouraged, hurting, and wanting to grow. It is a passion and it shows. My licensure requires updated CEUs, but I am constantly reading as well. Sharing what I have been reading is lots of fun and an easy way to help others.
I understand: I have a lot of training and degrees on the wall, but I struggle with family and relationship issues just like everyone else. I've learned a lot from my mistakes and successes and the mistakes and successes of my clients. Let me share these lessons with you!
I hear: My job is a part-time job and a fultime passion. Email me, call me. If I don't know the answer, chances are I know where to get it or how to find it. You can go online to schedule a time to come in and talk [Yes! Face to Face] or you can call.
The Reason I Became A Helping Professional
Its in my genes! My Mom worked to feed 3 states at the Houston Food Bank and my Dad has been a chaplain/minister since before I was born. Even with such great parents, life hasn't always been easy, and I've found I'm really good at helping other's get a handle on their issues. I have been focused for many years on parenting, children and how families work. I still have a long way to go, though, and each client/friend I meet gives me something to pass on.
Success Stories
Play Therapy
I highly recommend Ms. Graham's services as a play therapist. She saw my daughter for play therapy and gave great insight and adivce to me on how to handle the situation at hand. I have contacted her several times since these visits for her opinion on various occasions and have found myself going back to things she told me over a year ago when dealing with new situations as they arise. Ms. Graham is fair, honest, direct and insightful. I sincerely believe she sees each child as the individual they are and tailors her approach to fit the need, prayerfully considering all parties involved. As a parent, it is sometimes hard to listen to someone else give you advice about your child. However, I am so glad I trusted Ms. Graham and have been truly thankful for her guidance with my daughter.
Child well-being
Ms Graham is an awesome lady. Her main concern is the well being of the children. In our case, I can say that she saved my children. I recommend her to anyone. She took the time to understand us and the complex situation we were in. She was there when we needed her at a terrible time. She guided me thru these hard times so the children would not hurt as much. Even thou the scars will always be there, thanks to Ms Graham, we are able to heal well.

Democrats say they will keep letting communities choose their own workers. Republicans, in 2012, are submitting their own lists to city clerks...who by state law, have to use the names on the list. Parties have until Wednesday to submit their lists for next year.
