I come to Denver from the Windy City. My professional career began as one of only a few women traders in the pit on the floor of the Chicago Board of Trade. Wanting more flexibility as a single mom, I left the corporate world and developed two wildly successful brands with my own specialty store chain Robyn Parker Home, named after my children, and VSTJ Image & Design, a personal and professional image consulting firm. Not satisfied with less than world domination, I moved into raising private capital and brand consulting. As a creative visionary, fearless in the pursuit of what most deem impossible, I am now serving as a Principal with BREX, using my skills and experience to help our clients realize their entrepreneurial dreams.

When a person is looking to start to enlarge his penis, it's important to have an initial baseline set of measurements in order to more accurately determine just how much larger the penis is getting with the products being used to increase its size. These measurements should be carefully done.
How to Measure the Flaccid State
In the flaccid state, to correctly measure the penis, a person should take a soft, plastic coated tape measure, not a flexible metal one, and extend the tape measure about six to eight inches. The tip of the flaccid penis should be extended forwards and perpendicular to the floor. The tape measure needs to be put along side of the penis, not either on top of it or below it. A side measurement will be more accurate.
The person needs to note where the tip of the penis meets the tape measure in the front and where the tape measure rests against the base of the pubic bone at the back. The average flaccid measurement should be under six inches. It's important to hold the tape measure stiff and taut, then simply glance downwards to see the number of inches of the exact length. Write this down as soon as possible so it's not mixed up or forgotten.
It's also essential that the penis girth or circumference is measured accurately. Take the same tape measure and wrap it around the middle and widest part of the flaccid penis. Do this twice for the most accurate results. Then write this measurement down as well as soon as possible.
How to Measure the Erect State
Measurements in the erect state are considered more important to most men, but the measurement technique is very similar. Take a flexible, soft tape measure and extend it about twelve inches just to get a good, solid length open wide. The penis has to be in a fully erect state here, not in a partially erect one. With one hand holding the penis, take the tape measure and position it at the side of the penis. Don't try to measure it across the bottom or top of the penis as inaccurate measurements may result.
Hold the penis firmly without ever trying to stretch it. Then set the bottom of the extended tape measure length against the nub of the pubic bone. Stretch the tape measure tip out to the head of the erect penis. Hold the tape measure there along the side and take two readings, one on each side, just to be certain you're getting the most accurate measurement possible. Quickly write down the measurement so it's not forgotten.
Since every man's penis size is different when erect, it's important not to try to imagine that it's larger than it actually measures just to try to demonstrate a bigger size. This erect measurement is for each individual for himself alone. Nobody else has to see it at this point. In a short time, with the right enlargement device, the penis will definitely grow longer in its erect state, so there's no reason to feel any embarrassment at this early point.
The erect circumference or girth also needs to be measured at this early stage. Take the tape measure and firmly but not too tightly wrap it around the widest mid section of the penis. Take this measurement two to three times just to be the most precise with it that it can possibly be, then record it down on paper.
Keeping Accurate Measurement Records
Once a baseline measurement has been set, it's essential to keep accurate measurement records from before, during and after the penis enlargement activities that will be involved in achieving more impressive length and girth. As the penis enlargement device is used more and more often, individuals will quickly see dramatic improvements in both length and girth of both the flaccid and erect states. They should take regular measurements of at least once or twice per week the same way as described above for the pre-enlargement states. These detailed records of positive growth will make the individual feel proud and that he's really accomplished something significant and important to his psychological state of mind.
Continuing Penis Enlargement Measurements
Once the product starts to be used, it should be used according to its instructions. Try not to deviate from how it's supposed to be used when the goal is to obtain the largest growth results possible. Continuation of penis enlargement techniques with the product should be maintained for the maximum growth potential. Then at the end of three months, final measurements need to be made to see just how successful the overall results have been. The aforementioned tape measure methods should continue to be utilized to determine the specific increases in inches that the person will be able to both fully see and feel.

Canada is internationally recognized as one of the best places in the world to do business. A solid fiscal standing, with the lowest debt among the leading G7 countries, a competitive tax regime and a robust regulatory system have distinguished Canada at a time when many countries are struggling with rising debt and an increasing tax burden. But we cannot afford to rest on our laurels.
If Canada is to maintain its competitive edge, increase productivity and spur innovation, we must constantly strive to improve the conditions for doing business. Given the current global uncertainty, it is more important than ever that Canadian businesses, indeed all Canadians, are able to operate in a climate of predictability, transparency and accountability.
The Government of Canada has made cutting red tape a key priority and as such, is launching a regulatory reform package that is among the most ambitious of its kind today. The Red Tape Reduction Action Plan, the product of business community input to a year-long commission, not only targets specific irritants to businesses, but the systemic barriers that unnecessarily frustrate and burden Canadian business with additional delays, costs and bureaucracy.
"The systemic reforms contained in the Action Plan are game-changers for doing business in Canada," says Tony Clement, President of the Treasury Board and lead minister for the Action Plan. "Government regulation must and will continue to protect the health, safety and environment of all Canadians. But we must meet this imperative in ways that free business from unnecessary and frustrating red tape. The Red Tape Reduction Action Plan is a major step forward in striking that fine balance.
As part of the Plan detailed here, Minister Clement is overseeing the introduction of six fundamental, systemic reforms. These in turn, are supported by an additional 90 department-specific changes; common sense solutions to problems identified by businesses in areas ranging from tax and payroll, to labour, transport and trade. The vast majority of these changes will be implemented over the next three years.
The systemic reforms include:
The Scorecard, to be published by the President of the Treasury Board, will be reviewed by an external advisory committee. This is part of the Action Plan's broader commitment to accountability and public reporting. For example, the results of the Small Business Lens will be posted on the Web when a regulation is published for public comment. Similarly, key metrics tallying the number of new service standards introduced and departmental performance against those targets will be published.
Finally, to provide Canadians with additional assurance of our government's commitment to monitoring and reporting on regulatory red tape, by September 2014, the government will refresh that part of the Paperwork Burden Reduction Initiative inventory, which identified requirements in federal regulation that impose administrative burden on business. Once updated, this information will be refreshed and reported publicly every year.
Reducing red tape is one of the most important measures a government can take to support a flourishing and healthy business environment, which is the foundation for creating jobs and long-term prosperity. The Government of Canada has shown an unwavering commitment to this goal; through greater regulatory coordination with the United States, a more streamlined and predictable approvals process for major natural resource projects and the Paperwork Burden Reduction Initiative, which cut the paperwork burden by 20 per cent.
With the Red Tape Reduction Action Plan, the Government of Canada will continue the important work of reducing barriers to building prosperity and ensuring Canada remains a leading light in the world when it comes to doing business in a fair, transparent and responsive environment.
The Honourable Tony Clement
President of the Treasury Board and Minister for FedNor
In January 2011, Prime Minister Stephen Harper announced the launch of the Red Tape Reduction Commission. The Commission was asked to identify irritants to business stemming from federal regulatory requirements and provide recommendations to reduce the compliance burden, both at a specific and systemic level.
The Commission, headed by Minister of State for Small Business and Tourism Maxime Bernier, canvassed business representatives from across the country, with an emphasis on identifying irritants that had a clear detrimental effect on growth, competitiveness and innovation. A special emphasis was placed on small business, which is a significant employer, but carries a disproportionate share of regulatory burden. The Commission hosted a total of 15 roundtable sessions in 13 cities, attracting some 200 participants. There was also an online consultation and a dedicated website. Hundreds of ideas were shared.
While many recognized the importance and necessity of regulations, business representatives argued that a better job could be done in designing, implementing and monitoring their requirements. Specifically, the regulatory regime, they said, is not always attuned to the needs, capacities and realities of business. There was a high degree of frustration over duplication among different regulators, high administrative costs, and a lack of a customer-service orientation among public servants. Regulators had a poor understanding of industry realities, they added, and there was a need for a greater attention to timeliness, predictability and accountability.
The Commission analyzed the results of consultations, identified the root causes of the problems and engaged federal organizations to get a comprehensive understanding of the issues. The result was the September 2011 release of the Commission's "What Was Heard" Report.
The Commission then worked with independent experts to evaluate the viability of systemic reforms identified in the "What Was Heard" Report. Their advice was reviewed during two roundtable sessions with businesses, along with a second online consultation. This work led to the January 2012 release of the Commission's Recommendations Report, which detailed 15 systemic changes and 90 department-specific solutions to reduce or remove regulatory irritants.
The Red Tape Reduction Action Plan is the response to the Commission's Recommendations Report. It underscores the Government of Canada's keen commitment to breaking down barriers to doing business in Canada and building the foundations of long-term prosperity.
The Commission called on the government to take action that goes well beyond simple, one-time fixes and focus on fundamental change in how it designs and implements regulations. The government understands that cutting red tape is a critically important way that it can support innovation and increase productivity. This Action Plan demonstrates the government's commitment to delivering better results for Canadians with less frustration and lower costs for business.
The government's response to the recommendations of the Red Tape Reduction Commission falls under three major themes:
The Commission called on regulators to reduce the regulatory burden on business. Thirty-one initiatives focus on reducing regulatory burden through sector-specific measures to:
Examples of Systemic Reforms
Examples of Departmental Initiatives
These measures include creating single-windows for stakeholders and implementing electronic processes to replace outdated paper systems. Some 41 proposals focus on simplifying complex government processes and making it easier for businesses to do business.
Examples of Systemic Reform
Examples of Departmental Initiatives
The Commission identified service quality as a major issue for Canadian business. In response to this challenge, the government will implement 18 initiatives to improve service and predictability. These include measures to set and be accountable for service standards and to provide clear information and definitive guidance to stakeholders. This work will build on existing government-wide initiatives, such as the recently revised Values and Ethics Code for the Public Sector. Under the Code, public service employees are expected to provide fair, timely, efficient and effective service.
The Government will also introduce forward regulatory plans to provide Canadians and businesses with early notice of the government's intention to regulate. A forward regulatory plan is a public list of anticipated regulatory changes that a regulator intends to bring forward over a 24 month period. These plans will give Canadians, business and trading partners greater opportunity to inform the development of regulations and to plan for the future.
Examples of Systemic Reforms
Examples of Departmental Initiatives
This table sets out a series of regulatory system reforms the government will implement in response to the systemic recommendations of the Red Tape Reduction Commission.
|Commission Recommendations
|Government Response
|The government should introduce legislation as soon as possible to adopt the One-for-One Rule.
|The government accepts this recommendation, as announced in January 2012, and is implementing the One-for-One Rule.
|All regulatory departments and agencies should establish an inventory of information obligations, reduce unnecessary information requirements and measure the meaningful reduction of administrative burden using the Standard Cost Model.
|The Government agrees with this recommendation in principle. As the Commission recognized, about 80 per cent of the regulatory burden can come from 20 per cent of the stock of regulations. Implementation of the One for One Rule requires ongoing review and reform of existing regulations to identify unnecessary regulations and administrative burden that can be eliminated. The Rule will also require departments to use the Standard Cost Model to measure meaningful reductions in administrative burden on business. In addition, by September 2014, the government will build on the efforts of the Paperwork Burden Reduction Initiative by refreshing that part of the inventory that counted requirements in federal regulation that impose administrative burden on business. Once updated, this information will be refreshed every year and reported publicly.
|Departments should review their current paper-based processes and forms and submit proposals to their ministers outlining how they will, wherever possible, implement electronic solutions.
|The government agrees in principle with the Commission's view about potential service improvements
offered by electronic processes and forms. Departments are already taking steps to put electronic solutions in place
as part of their response to the Commission's department-specific recommendations. For example, Statistics Canada
will reduce the administrative burden of its business surveys on stakeholders by:
|There should be greater coordination of federal regulatory compliance and enforcement activities in the same sector.
|The government is already undertaking targeted efforts to improve coordination through initiatives such as the Regulatory Cooperation Council. The Canada Border Services Agency, with support from Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada, Transport Canada, and Public Safety Canada, will expedite efforts to enhance and harmonize trusted trader programs with the United States with a view to facilitating joint admission of applicants, through a single, simpler application process. This will reduce red tape by increasing efficiency and predictability and by increasing small and medium-size businesses' ability to access and use the trusted trader programs.
|All regulatory departments and agencies should work with businesses to develop regulatory information e portals with sector-specific modules, which should set the stage for a "Tell Us Once" policy.
|The government accepts this recommendation in principle. Departments are already making targeted efforts to implement electronic tools and share information as part of their response to the Commission's department-specific recommendations. For example, the Canada Revenue Agency will reduce business frustration and related administrative burden in communicating with the Agency by providing its telephone service agents with improved tools and training material, and by enhancing its website based on feedback gathered through surveying small businesses.
|All regulatory departments and agencies should set and publish measurable standards, set goals for service improvement and report on performance at meeting these standards.
|The government accepts and will fully implement this recommendation. Regulators will set service standards for high-volume regulatory authorizations such as licences, permits and certifications. Regulators will also be required to report on their performance against these targets on their websites.
|The government should review and amend the User Fees Act to enable better service to regulated sectors and ensure accountability.
|Departments will be setting service standards for high volume authorizations and will be accountable for meeting them, regardless of whether fees are charged or not. The government is, however, not prepared to make it easier for departments to pass on higher costs to businesses or consumers by amending the User Fees Act.
|All regulators should develop a service charter.
|The government agrees with the Commission's view regarding the importance of service excellence. The recently revised Values and Ethics Code for the Public Sector already sets clear service expectations. The Code calls on public servants to provide fair, timely, efficient and effective service.
|All regulators should have a process for receiving feedback.
|The government agrees and will establish service standards and complaint processes for high-volume regulatory authorizations. This will give stakeholders a clear opportunity to provide feedback on the service they receive.
|Major regulators should establish a pathfinder function—an information officer to channel requests for information from small business to departmental experts, as well as track and follow up on requests.
|The government agrees with the Commission's view that it is important to help business navigate the regulatory system. Service standards will ensure that processes for high-volume authorizations are clearly explained on departmental websites, and that contact information for officials is provided. Additionally, departments will prepare and publish annual forward regulatory plans to give business and citizens earlier warning of upcoming regulatory changes.
|All regulators should review and, based on consultations with businesses, update their most-accessed regulatory publications.
|The government agrees with this recommendation in principle, but given fiscal restraint, recognizes departments need flexibility to update publications based on operational priorities. The new requirement for departments to publish policies on how they interpret regulations will provide greater clarity and predictability for stakeholders and citizens.
|All departments and agencies should have a published policy setting out how they interpret their regulatory requirements.
|The government accepts this recommendation. Departments will now be required to publish their policy describing how they interpret regulations, including when they will provide written responses to stakeholder queries. Businesses and citizens will benefit from increased predictability.
|The government should take measures (e.g., forward plans and consideration of administrative costs in regulatory analysis) to strengthen adherence to key regulatory policy requirements.
|The government is already taking steps to implement this recommendation. A new Cabinet Directive on Regulatory Management is being implemented to improve regulatory design and implementation through introduction of the small business lens, forward regulatory plans, and strengthened requirements to consider administrative burden in regulatory proposals.
|The government should move quickly to fulfill its Budget 2011 commitment to implement a small business lens.
|The small business lens will be implemented immediately and will hardwire sensitivity to small business into the regulatory process; departments will be required to incorporate an analysis of small business impacts as part of their Regulatory Impact Analysis Statements, which will be published in the Canada Gazette.
|The "Powers and Duties" section of the Auditor General Act should be modified so that the Office of the Auditor General of Canada is given the mandate to review and report on the progress in reducing the regulatory administrative burden.
|The government agrees with the Commission that ongoing oversight and accountability are
needed to reduce red tape and keep it out of the regulatory system. The government also agrees that the Auditor
General should be kept informed of the government's commitments on reducing red tape and its performance against
these commitments. In full recognition of the independence of the Auditor General as an Agent of Parliament, the
government is committed to providing the Auditor General with the information he requires to make his own determination
of the merits of auditing the government's progress on regulatory reform.
In addition, the government will establish a Regulatory Advisory Committee to the President of the Treasury Board, which will review the government's Annual Scorecard on implementation of systemic reforms, in particular, the One-for-One Rule, the Small Business Lens and Service Standards. The Scorecard will be made public. Both the Scorecard and the Advisory Committee's views on the government's progress will be provided to the Auditor General annually.
|A substantial part of the annual "pay-at-risk" of senior public servants should be given on the basis of the successful implementation of the One-for-One Rule.
|The government agrees that senior public servants in regulatory departments should be accountable for red tape reduction. The current process for assessing the performance of senior public servants addresses this recommendation.
The government has also committed to following through on all 90 department-specific recommendations. Over the coming months, regulators will develop their own plans to respond to the Commission's recommendations.

Giant kites could power 100,000 homes
While harnessing the wind to generate energy isn't exactly a new idea, with turbines having been around for years, harnessing it with gigantic kites is. Imagine, with a small footprint on the land, a series of gigantic, connected kites using the wind to generate enough energy to power 100,000 homes.
It's still in experimental phases, but if it's successful than we could start seeing these gigantic, high-flying kites popping up all over the place. After all, energy doesn't get much cleaner or more green than wind power, which is blowing all the time anyways. Let's hope this is successful.

Genetically Modified Foods:
Experts View Regimen of Safety Tests as Adequate, but FDA's Evaluation Process Could Be Enhanced
GAO-02-566: Published: May 23, 2002. Publicly Released: May 23, 2002.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-9692
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Genetically modified foods pose the same risks to human health as do other foods. These risks include allergens, toxins, and compounds known as antinutrients which inhibit the absorption of nutrients. Before marketing a genetically modified food, company scientists seek to determine whether these foods pose any heightened risks. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) published guidelines in 1992 to ensure that companies worked with the agency to assess the safety of genetically modified foods. GAO found that FDA's evaluation process could be enhanced by randomly verifying the test data provided and by increasing the transparency of the evaluation process, including communicating more clearly the scientific rationale for FDA's final decision on an assessment of genetically modified food. Scientists expect that genetic modifications will increasingly enhance the nutritional value of genetically modified foods. Although current tests have been adequate for evaluating the few genetically modified foods that have, so far, undergone relatively simple compositional changes, new technologies are being developed to evaluate the increasingly complex compositional changes expected. Monitoring the long-term health risks of genetically modified foods is generally neither necessary nor feasible. No scientific evidence exists, nor is there even a hypothesis, suggesting that long-term harm, such as higher cancer rates, results from these foods. Moreover, technical challenges make long-term monitoring infeasible.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Open
Comments: FDA told GAO that it continues to believe that the recommendation to conduct random audits could be useful. However, in view of resource constraints and competing priorities, FDA has not yet been able to conduct such an audit yet.
Recommendation: To enhance FDA's safety evaluations of GM foods, the Deputy Commissioner of Food and Drugs should direct the agency's Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition to obtain, on a random basis, raw test data from companies, during or after consultations, as a means of verifying the completeness and accuracy of the summary test data submitted by companies.
Agency Affected: Department of Health and Human Services: Public Health Service: Food and Drug Administration
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: FDA has taken actions to make memos to file more detailed as GAO recommended.
Recommendation: To enhance FDA's safety evaluations of GM foods, the Deputy Commissioner of Food and Drugs should direct the agency's Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition to expand its memos to file recording its decisions about GM foods to provide greater detail about its evaluations of the foods, including the level of evaluation provided, the similarity of the foods to foods previously evaluated, and the adequacy of the tests performed by the submitting companies.

To address this urgency, a strong healthcare IT (HIT) system will be needed. And CFOs and their staffs will need to decide what elements and functions are necessary in HIT systems to facilitate the goal of providing high-quality care at affordable costs.
Effective HIT allows providers to implement evidence-based care practices, capture and aggregate data on a variety of short-term and long-term outcomes, better coordinate care across different levels and practices, and provide an analytical foundation for ongoing improvement. Additionally, HIT facilitates better tracking of patients across the care continuum and provides the ability to examine relationships between interventions and outcomes.
To ensure that the HIT infrastructure is durable and appropriate, CFOs should advocate for HIT systems that are both transactional and analytical. The systems should be able to capture data using a standardized approach and share data across different types of providers and care settings. And they should have an analytical platform that provides the capabilities needed to measure successes and define avenues for improvement. The choice of systems is thus a highly strategic endeavor, and senior finance executives should be involved.
The electronic health record (EHR) should not only be ready to receive and distribute timely information for point-of-care decision making, but also be structured in a way that it can easily inform an analytical platform, such as a data warehouse. The system needs to display the full, current state of a patient's records so that redundant or unnecessary testing is minimized. Moreover, the system should have the ability to aggregate information about patients and determine where gaps in care among certain groups of patients may be occurring. In capturing the data, the system should be able to group patients into discrete populations so providers can review the outcomes and determine where care coordination could be improved.
These capabilities become relevant to CFOs and other top management because they are the lynchpin of quality, patient safety, and ultimately payment. Hospital quality improvement and patient safety programs are charged with helping organizations deliver safer, higher-quality care that results in improved outcomes. The programs are also responsible for ensuring compliance with the various quality reporting requirements. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Hospital Compare resource and the Joint Commission Core Measures are examples of quality reporting tools that can affect payment and public perception. These efforts rely on data to measure baseline metrics and plot progress over time. Requirements to capture and report data back to CMS and the Joint Commission can provide hospitals with a better sense of where they rank in terms of specific treatments and outcomes compared with other hospitals and work to improve practice patterns and performance.
Equally critical, independent and unrelated providers should be able to share data across sites of care. The electronic transmission of patient data from one site and set of providers to the next in the care continuum is far more reliable than paper charts, patient memory, or the informal relationships between providers. Moreover, when patients are referred to specialists or admitted to a hospital, the information system should support the primary care physician in the coordination of care, ensuring that duplicate tests and unnecessary treatments are avoided and that appropriate follow-up care is conducted.
In a similar vein, as people increasingly use the Internet for news, information, and social networking, patient demand to use the Internet to access their medical history, communicate with providers, and manage their health also is growing. The information infrastructure should provide patients with educational resources, self-management support, and a portal in which patients and providers are able to communicate with one another. Patient portals are becoming increasingly important in encouraging patients to better manage their own care-a critical business imperative for senior hospital executives under the new world of care management and performance-based contracting.
Strong HIT systems will be necessary for hospital management to understand and contract for risk of all types. Healthcare providers, in general, have lagged other industries in the development of data warehouses and analytical capabilities that enable ongoing inquiry into performance. Such platforms depend on transactional systems, such as EHRs and data exchange, for timely and accurate data feeds. By enabling patient records to be complete, easing communication between providers and patients, and informing care and treatments across a variety of settings and providers, a successful HIT system will have the ability to use the resulting vast array of information to measure and report on the quality of care and ultimately enable CFOs to develop reports that will help hospitals contract with physicians based on their performance.
By measuring and reporting health outcomes longitudinally, providers-both hospitals and physicians-can determine where care can be improved, where costs can be lowered, and how the patient experience can be enhanced. An effective HIT system facilitates better tracking of patients across the care continuum and better understanding of relationships between interventions and outcomes. This ability leads to greater efficiency and effectiveness.
While adopting an HIT system is necessary to compete in the ever-changing healthcare landscape, it does not come without its challenges. The system is expensive to create and relies on a true commitment from patients, payers, and providers to work. But as James Ferguson, executive director for HIT strategy and policy for Kaiser Permanente, has stated, "Despite the challenges, meaningful use [of HIT] will really improve health. It will create more engaged and informed patients, provide more complete data for clinical decision making, and provide the ability to make the right thing easy to do." Perhaps even more compelling for CFOs, these systems will be necessary to contract the way the government and payers will want to contract-on the basis of outcomes.

Knoxville (WVLT) - They're two of our area's biggest high school football rivals, but they do have one thing in common. At one time, both Bearden and West were coached by the late Bill Wilson.
Wilson died suddenly last year, and Friday night, there was a special ceremony during the Bearden/West game to remember the life of the beloved coach.
Volunteer TV's Jim Freeman was there, and he brings us more.
As if there's not enough emotion between the Bearden and West High School football teams when they get together on the gridiron, Friday night added fuel to that emotional fire by the remembering of long-time Coach Bill Wilson.
Of course, Coach WIlson coached all those years, 28 years at West High School, one season here at Bearden. Friday night, he was remembered here at Bearden High School football field. His son-in-law, Seth Grossman, reflects on his father-in-law Coach Bill Wilson.
"Ah, I think he would be honored just looking down, you know. I talked to Coach Cummings before the game and Coach Taylor and both talked about how much he loved kids and just to see these kids down here competing for both schools, I just think he's loving it, and he's probably saying what's with these T-shirts? He was a big T-shirt guy. He made T-shirts for his teams. I think he would love the T-shirts," Grossman said.
The T-shirts designed in Coach Wilson's memory were designed by one of his players, Bearden's Preston Rouse. Former players, coaches, and thousands of fans paid tribute to the man who coached for the two schools. At least one of his former players, James Freeman, played at both schools, Bearden as a Freshman and then three seasons for Wilson at West.
"You know he was very religious. He would be a friend to anyone. If you wanted to be a friend to Bill Wilson, he would be a friend to you pretty much, and that's why I loved him, and I'll always love that guy as a coach, as a friend, as a mentor. He was just a terrific guy over all," Freeman said.
Coach Wilson's family felt more comfortable remaining in the stands during the ceremony.

Uterine Fibroids
Uterine fibroids are the most common tumors of the female reproductive system. Fibroids – also called uterine myomas, leiomyomas, or fibromas – are benign growths that develop from smooth muscle cells and fibrous connective tissue either just beneath the outer surface of the uterus, or within the uterine wall. While estrogen and progesterone are involved in fibroid growth, the mechanism by which they develop is not fully understood.
Fibroids may be as small as a pea and as large as a grapefruit. As many as 50 percent of women develop uterine fibroids at some point in their lives. Because fibroids may not produce symptoms, however, many women are unaware that they have them. Women in the 30s and 40s have the highest risk of developing fibroids. African-American, Hispanic, and Asian women also seem to be at an increased risk, for reasons that are not understood.
At NewYork-Presbyterian, vascular specialists employ a procedure called uterine fibroid embolization (UFE) in some women. UFE cuts off the blood flow to the fibroid and spares the patient from hysterectomy (surgical removal of the uterus). To make an appointment to consult with a doctor about the UFE procedure, please call (646) 962-9179 (for NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center) or (212) 326-8874 (for NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia University Medical Center).
Symptoms of Uterine Fibroids
Some women with fibroids have mild or no symptoms, while in others, symptoms are severe and disruptive. Common symptoms include:
- Heavy or prolonged menstrual periods
- Abnormal bleeding between menstrual periods
- Pelvic pain (caused as the fibroid presses on pelvic organs)
- Frequent urination
- Low back pain
- Pain during intercourse
- An enlarged abdomen, which causes a constant feeling of fullness or pressure
Some women experience iron-deficiency anemia from heavy or prolonged menstrual periods, or abnormal bleeding between periods.
Treatment for Uterine Fibroids
Many women with fibroids are told they need a hysterectomy (surgery to remove the uterus). In fact, about a third to a half of the 600,000 hysterectomies performed each year in the United States are for fibroids. For many patients, though, a less invasive uterine-sparing alternative called uterine fibroid embolization (UFE) is an option. UFE is a specialty of vascular specialists at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital.
During UFE, a medical specialist called an interventional radiologist cuts off the blood supply to fibroids, so that they gradually shrink.
- Doctors begin the procedure by inserting a tiny tube called a catheter into an artery at the top of the leg.
- They guide the catheter into the uterine artery, map the arteries feeding the fibroids using an arteriogram (an x-ray in which a dye is injected into the arteries), and then inject microspheres (the size of grains of sand) through the catheter and into the fibroids to block their blood supply.
- The fibroids begin to shrink, and many women experience rapid relief of their symptoms.
- The procedure takes about an hour, and the recovery time is significantly less than that associated with traditional surgery.
With UFE, the uterus and ovaries are spared (unlike hysterectomy). Studies show that most women who undergo UFE experience significant or complete resolution of their symptoms over time, and their fibroids rarely return.
To make an appointment to consult with a doctor about the UFE procedure, please call (646) 962-9179 (for NewYork-Presbyterian /Weill Cornell Medical Center) or (212) 326-8874 (for NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia University Medical Center).

US Futures Head Higher Following China Rate Cut
NEW YORK (AP) â¿¿ Investors didn't hear what they wanted from Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke.
An early rally in stocks faded in the afternoon Thursday after Bernanke signaled no immediate further steps from the Fed to stoke economic growth in the United States, which has shown signs of faltering.
A report that Americans cut back sharply on their credit card purchases in April, suggesting consumers were losing confidence in the economy, also took some steam out of the market.Bank stocks also lost ground late in the day after the Fed said it wants U.S. banks to set aside more money to cushion against unexpected losses, a key step in preventing another financial crisis. The Dow Jones industrial average had been up as much as 140 points but closed up 46.17 points, or 0.3 percent, at 12,460.96. "The market is addicted to easy money, and Bernanke has the job of not pulling the trigger unless the situation needs stabilizing," said Doug Roberts, chief investment strategist at the investment company Channel Capital Research. Bernanke told a joint economic committee in Congress that the Fed was ready to act if the economy needs it, but he did not spell out any additional steps on the way. The Fed chairman said the central bank was "prepared to take action as needed to protect the U.S. financial system and economy in the event that financial stresses escalate." Weaker hiring in May and comments by a Fed regional president had led some investors to hope that the Fed might try something new. The stock market enjoyed its biggest rally of the year on Wednesday. On Thursday, the early rally in stocks came after China cut its benchmark lending rate for the first time in nearly four years, adding to efforts to reverse a sharp slowdown in economic growth there.

The gameplay, story, locations, sound, and overall feel of the games is always very impressive... Except for one area, the character models
To be quite honest, most of the models look nothing like the characters/actors they are based on, and are animated like bricks... so if you guys get to do the next CSI vegas game, can you please consider these 2 suggestions?
#1) Quit outsourcing the character models, and stop "rendering freehand"... When the actors come in for their recording sessions, get a live scan of their face and create the character model from that. its expensive, sure... but at least you will get true to life character models and not the "always changing but never looking right models"
#2) Rig the characters with more complex skeletons and use live models performing the scenes for animation reference... The current animation is very blocky and unrealistic, sometimes completely ignoring human physiology (they move with no complexity or "performance" and often act like robots)
The characters in your other titles always shine, but why the lack of love with the CSI gang? You guys really should have better character modeling and animation teams on this... especially after 3 swings at bat.

Selsky, and Tom Odula Associated Press Writers NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — Working near bodies crushed by rubble in a bullet-scarred, scorched mall, FBI agents began fingerprint, DNA and ballistic analysis Wednesday to help determine the identities and nationalities of victims and al-Shabab gunmen who attacked the shopping center, killing more than 60 people.

(AP Photo/Khalil Senosi) by Jason Straziuso and Tom OdulaAssociated Press Writer NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — Kenyan security forces launched a "major" assault late Sunday on the upscale Nairobi mall where an unknown number of hostages are being held by al-Qaida-linked militants, in an operation officials said would end the two-day standoff that had already killed 68 people. The assault, which began shortly before sun down, came as two helicopters circled the mall, with one skimming very close to the roof. A loud explosion rang, far larger than any previous grenade blast or gunfire volley.

(AP Photo/Sunday Alamba) by Michelle Faul LAGOS, Nigeria (AP) — A woman who could be considered Africa's Oprah Winfrey is launching an entertainment network that will be beamed into nearly every country on the continent with programs showcasing its burgeoning middle class.

(AP Photo/Michel Spingler) by Howard Fendrich LONDON (AP) — As her agent nodded along approvingly from a front-row seat, Serena Williams sounded contrite and composed. Well-rehearsed, too. Williams even managed to crack herself up with a couple of jokes during her news conference at Wimbledon as the defending champion, where the primary topic was hardly her 31-match winning streak or her bid for a sixth title at the All England Club or her injured sister Venus' absence from the field. Instead, more than half the questions at Sunday's session revolved around themes generating the most buzz on the eve of tennis' oldest and most prestigious Grand Slam tournament: what Williams was quoted as saying in a recent magazine article — and Maria Sharapova's surprisingly forceful verbal swipe in reaction to that story.

bought a pair of misses size 14 jeans yesterday for a goal to work towards. They are going back to the store today because they fit! Buying a size 12
they were very nice and fit wonderfully.
What a surprise
It is so wonderful having it automatically sync to my spark account
one less thing to do entering my treadmill times
Baked Oatmeal
2 1/2 cups rolled oats
1/2 cup steel cut oats
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (I bump this up to 2 teaspoons)
1 teaspoon nutmeg
2 cups milk ( I use 1 percent)
1 egg, beaten
1/3 cup applesauce ( I use 2 of the little snack cups of unsweetened)
1/4 cup oil or 1/4 cup melted butter ( I use margerine)
1/4 cup sugar plus 1/4 cup brown sugar (I use all brown sugar)
(Rasins dried cranberries , unsweetened coconut) any combo you like I add a full cup of this combination
1 Preheat oven to 400�F.
2 Lightly grease a 2-quart casserole dish. I spray it with Pam
3 In a large mixing bowl, combine all the dry ingredients -rolled oats, steel-cut oats, baking powder, nutmeg and cinnamon.
4 In a separate bowl, mix together milk, eggs, applesauce, oil or butter, sugars, and vanilla
5 Stir the liquid ingredients into the dry and pour into prepared casserole dish.
6 Bake, uncovered for about 20 minutes.
7 take out of oven and add in your fruits.
8 return to oven and bake, uncovered for about 20 more minutes or until top is lightly brown.
I portion this out into plasticware and load enough for the week in the fridge.
For the guys I portion � cup, for me I have 1/3 cup which it a good amount for me and a little fruit
We warm it up in the mornings, add a little milk or yogurt maybe some cut up fresh fruit.
such as blueberries, chopped apples , banana, pears or raspberries
I didn't think I would like it but I do.
I like the tracking on line and seeing a report on progress.
I think this will be my gift of choice for christmas this year.
I am tracking my overall steps per day and plan on still doing a 5km on the treadmill outside of the tracking of steps each day
I think sometimes we get into a grove, maybe even a rut where we become complacent and just drift along.
I can not afford to do that.
I need to refresh and revive my spark. What better time then now.
Labour day weekend, a new season coming,time to round out the year

A Look at Open Source Software and Game Development
To start, we want to cover a bit about what exactly open source software is and its effect on modern game development. Open source can be thought about as decision that starts with the creator of the software. It is a way to give permission to other game and software developers to collaborate with each other to improve or modify the original program. It is a commitment to the entire design process and the game design community. Open source refers to completely accessible source code and in many cases, the design elements that are associated with that software.
Enhancement is also an important part of the open source philosophy. Game source code has for the most part been proprietary software with licenses held only by the creators. This is especially true with gaming engines which are sold to gaming companies for development. However, in the case of a few game developers such as ID Software, they released their source code for games like Quake and Quake 2 which created a very large community of game mods and may have even launched a few careers in the gaming industry.
The most important factor of open source software is that the developer has much more control over what they can create. The programmer is able to change portions of the code or even remove those that are not to their liking. This is especially a boon for programmers that are just learning to code as it assists them in becoming more proficient at programming.
Another positive aspect of open source code is that, when there is a community attached to the particular code, bugs are detected and fixed much faster than code that is shielded from the public. Does open source mean free games and free software?
In fact, while most open source products are free, the developers are permitted to charge for their product. The licensing for open source software often and almost always requires the developer to keep the code open. Because of this, most programmers simply release their creation as a free product.
However, it is not uncommon to find that a developer will charge for other supplemental services related to the installation of the software. This would be something like paid tech support for the product.

Gregory M. Kemp Sentenced in U.S. District Court
The United States Attorney's Office announced that during a federal court session in Missoula, on July 19, 2012, before U.S. District Judge Dana L. Christensen, GREGORY M. KEMP, a 39-year-old resident of Missoula, appeared for sentencing. KEMP was sentenced to a term of:
House Arrest: 90 days
Special Assessment: $100
Restitution: $14,255.49
Probation: 5 years
KEMP was sentenced in connection with his guilty plea to misappropriation of postal funds.
In an Offer of Proof filed by Assistant U.S. Attorney Timothy J. Racicot, the government stated it would have proved at trial the following:
From mid-September until December 2, 2010, KEMP, then an employee at the Bonner Post Office ("BPO"), failed to remit or deposit the proceeds from the sale of 59 postal service money orders. He embezzled the funds by: (1) imprinting money orders on the office money order imprinter with various dollar amounts; (2) cashing the money orders without remitting payment; and (3) failing to report the sale of money orders to Postal Service customers and embezzling the cash from the sale of these money orders.
KEMP admitted to the theft of 11 money orders, totaling $2,397, which he accomplished by creating false entries in the post office records by making the money orders payable to himself.
In addition to those 11 money orders, there are 48 additional suspect money orders, totaling $10,516.32, that were negotiated and cashed. The funds from the sale of those 48 money orders were not remitted to the Postal Service and the money orders were not reported as sold. Those money orders can be linked to KEMP since they were either issued to KEMP to sell to customers or he was working at the Post Office the day the money orders were imprinted. In addition to the money orders, KEMP also admitted to stealing unquantified, yet admittedly small, amounts of cash from his assigned cash drawer. He also admitted to frequently taking stamps out of the other BPO employees' cash drawers and the main BPO stamp stock. In the Postal Service accounting system, stamp stock is regarded as cash. Two December 2010 audits of the BPO revealed overall shortages of $1,342.17 in the employees cash drawers and the main stamp stock. The total aggregated Postal Service loss that can be attributed to KEMP is $14,255.49. On December 2, 2010, KEMP tendered his resignation to the BPO Officer in Charge.
When interviewed on December 2, 2010, KEMP admitted to stealing Postal Service domestic money orders from his co-employees' assigned cash drawers by using a small pry bar to defeat their key locks and gain access. KEMP explained that his motivation for committing the crime was his addiction to prescription painkillers, and that when his legitimate supply of pills dwindled, he devised the plan to steal BPO money orders. He said he would imprint the stolen money orders using the BPO's manual imprinter, cash them, and use the money to buy more pills from an unidentified third party.
Because there is no parole in the federal system, the "truth in sentencing" guidelines mandate that KEMP will likely serve all of the time imposed by the court. In the federal system, KEMP does have the opportunity to earn a sentence reduction for "good behavior." However, this reduction will not exceed 15% of the overall sentence.
The investigation was conducted by the United States Postal Service Office of Inspector General.

T: What traits of yours or your DH/SO do you hope get passed on to your children?
I hope that our kids have DH's dimples and curly hair. I hope that our kids get my blue eyes. I hope that the kids get both of our passion for the things they really love!
W: What traits of yours or your DH/SO would you not want to pass on to your children?
Sometimes I procrastinate (like when I am bumping and should be working/dishes/laundry, etc.) and I hope they don't get that. As far as DH goes, he has a pretty good temper and I hope that they are a little more mellow than he is sometimes. I, on the other hand, never get angry haha!
Th: How are you sleeping these days?
Lately, not very well and it sucks! Everytime I lay down this kid starts a dance party in my uterus! But, I guess I should shut up and be grateful that I can feel the baby!
M: Weekend was ok. Baby is apparently ok. I haven't actually been here in July, but I'm assuming we have typical Jersey Shore weather. I'm hoping to get a nice breeze from the ocean.
T: I hope our kids get DH's eyes and my ears.
W: I hope our kids don't get my poofy hair.
Th: Once I actually fall asleep, I'm fine. Can't really complain.
W: I hope our daughter does not get my bad temper or my Dh's nappy curly hair lol
Th: I sleep pretty normal (amount of sleep wise) but this baby must be a night owl because she makes it hard for me to sleep in the night and much too easy to sleep during the day.?
please change my color to blue - it's a boy!
T: I hope he gets our values & strength.
W: I hope he does NOT have dark curly hair all over his body
Th: not sleeping well at all this week - but then again we've been moving apartments and i just found out i have bronchitis!
I've actually been sleeping way better than in the first tri. Though, I'm a tummy sleeper, so I find it a little harder to fall asleep, but once I am asleep I stay that way.
Today, however, is a surprise day off and I could have slept in...but I was wide awake at 6:00am!
Sleep? Sleep? Isn't that what you get during first tri and then not again until the baby is like 8 months old?
Actually, I slept well last night for he first time in weeks. I probably won't sleep again until Thursday of next week. We have to finish packing and moving (the bed goes to the new house tomorrow!!!), but the big u/s is 6 days away. I know I won't sleep Tuesday night. I'll be too exctited!
Th: How are you sleeping these days?
Not well at all. I wake up at least once to go to the bathroom and sometimes can't go back to sleep. Also, DH gets up very early to go to work and then I really can't go back to sleep. I'm having leg cramps/legs falling asleep, too. I just want to sleep!!!
T: I hope one of our babies ends up with DH's blue eyes, but it's not likely.
W: I hope none of them get his stick-straight hair! DD didn't get my curls, which means DS will probably have beautiful curly hair.
Th: With a 7.5 month old, I can say I've slept better. She was waking up at 5-5:30 every morning raring to go for a week or so. She slept from 7:15 p.m.-6 a.m. last night and I'm hoping she does it again tonight!
