A SoHo Loft with French Flair
Designer Robert Couturier's elegant Manhattan home
By David Colman
So has Couturier held tight to his past or broken from it? Does he live in a sprawling apartment in a grand Park Avenue building? Or did he head downtown to inhabit an expansive raw loft without walls or labels or boundaries? The answer is both.
Couturier does live and work on two floors of an Italianate cast-iron loft building in SoHo. But while the layout is modern and flexible, the decor, which features French furniture ranging from Louis XIV to Art Deco, suggests the ancien régime that is his birthright.
If the place feels well balanced between old and new, formal and relaxed, the result was hard earned through a process of slow evolution. Couturier lived on the Upper East Side for some 20 years, maintaining a separate office and apartment, before deciding that he wanted to simplify his life and combine the two. He found a duplex space in SoHo in 2000 and installed his offices on one floor and his living quarters on the other. But his business soon expanded, and his own office and a meeting room for clients had to be surrendered to his growing staff. So he moved his residence to one of New York's new all-amenities, all-glass monoliths, becoming the first tenant on a then-empty floor. The problem was, he hated the modernity; he hated his open-plan apartment. "I spent a terrible year being very upset," he says. "It was just not me."
Years later, the phrase "open plan" still elicits an expression of distaste. Indeed, as much as he appreciates American informality, the Couturier view is that walls serve a valuable purpose. "Americans have these fancy apartments and nice areas—living rooms, dining rooms, and so on—and then they live in the kitchen," he says. "French people never live in the kitchen. It's not something we grow up with. So the idea of opening up the living room to the kitchen is not something that occurs to us."

Sheriff Kelvin Williams received support from the Bolivar County Board of Supervisors to partner with the CorVel Corporation of Jackson, which will help reduce medical bills charged to the department anytime county inmates receive medical treatment outside the Bolivar County Regional Correctional Facility.
"In the first year I've been sheriff I noticed we've been paying too much for these medical bills," said Williams. "We needed to do something to cut costs and help save the county money."
Often times these bills are double-charged or overcharged due to mistakes with the paperwork.
Williams learned more about CorVel at a meeting hosted by Commissioner Christopher B. Epps of the Mississippi Department of Corrections in Jackson on Feb. 28.
Representatives from CorVel promoted their services to Williams and a dozen county sheriffs from across the state.
"This is a company that specializes in assisting agencies reduce medical bills," said Williams. "They have a proven track record and they've saved the Mississippi Department of Corrections millions of dollars.
"This is about not putting money out there that belongs to the county. Anytime we can eliminate that — let's do it."
Williams added that the partnership is needed because his department doesn't have the resources, personnel or time to negotiate with medical providers.
CorVel has helped agencies all over the country resolve these problems.
The corporation is also a national provider of industry-leading workers' compensation solutions for employers, third party administrators, insurance companies and government agencies seeking to control costs and promote positive outcomes.
Cathy Marshall, bill review manager at CorVel, provided information to the supervisors at Monday's board meeting.
"We have been a national cost-containing program since 1976," said Marshall. "In 2012 alone we processed $9 billion in bills and saved our clients about $4 billion.
"We want to come in and save the sheriff's department money," added Marshall. "We don't get paid unless we get the bills reduced."
CorVel would get 30 percent of each reduced charge, but the process would still bring money back to the county since it has previously been paying bills at cost.
"On average we save clients about 62 percent per bill," said Marshall.
CorVel works with a number of municipalities throughout Mississippi and has helped the Mississippi State Penitentiary in Parchman save on countless bills.
The claims management company also operates with a national network of preferred healthcare providers, case management, medical bill review, disability management and group health programs.
"It's a win-win situation," said Williams. "I'm all for reducing bills by 60 percent."
The board voted unanimously to support Williams working with CorVel.

Go Green Day!
Hello! Saturday November 5th was 'Go Green' day at the T? Gwyrdd.
The purpose of this event was to explore easy ways to save energy at home, and at the same time, to save money! Amongst these ideas were simple things, such as: walking to school, using a plug in the sink while washing up, turning off lights when leaving rooms, not leaving mobile phones to charge overnight and many more. For more ways of saving energy at home, follow this link: http://tiny.cc/w4iqr
Visitors to the 'Go Green' day were asked to choose one way of saving energy and pledge to introduce the change to their everyday lives.
To ensure everyone kept their pledges, we asked them to write their pledge on a leaf and attach it to the 'Go Green' tree. Before long the tree was full of pledges, ranging from walking to school to wearing a jumper around the house to keep warm.
By the end of the day, the little tree was full of green ideas! Fantastic!
It is worth noting that some visitors jumped at the chance to Go Green (literally!) by donning our green feather boa and glittery glasses! At times it looked more like a surreal episode of Strictly Come Dancing! I'm pretty sure it was the first time the dark slate floors of the T? Gwyrdd had seen such dance moves!
A big thank you to everyone who visited… the next event at the T? Gwyrdd is 'Sustainable Christmas' on December 3rd, a chance to pick up tips for a green Christmas and a chance to try making your own Christmas decorations! If you have any suggestions on how to celebrate Christmas sustainably – let us know on Twitter: www.twitter.com/tygwyrdd
Thanks again, T? Gwyrdd

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Looks good. I did have a few issues though. See below. Also, it is
incorrect to refer to the AKP as an Islamist group.
Islamist-rooted is fine but not Islamist.
Last week a small crisis with potentially serious implications
blew up between Israel and Turkey. Over the past year, Turkey has
become increasingly critical if Israel*s relations with the Arab
world. Turkey has tried, in the past, to mediate relations, for
example between Syria and Israel, and Turkey has now made it known
that it hold Israel responsible for these failures.
The Turkish Ambassador to Israel was called to a meeting with
Danny Ayalon, Deputy Foreign Minister where he was given a chair
that was shorter than that occupied by Ayalon, and was
photographed in that chair. It made it appear that Ayalon was
lecturing an inferior. The impact of the photographs in Turkey
was that Israel had deliberately insulted Turkey. Ayalon argued
that it was not meant as an insult but as a reminder that Israel
does not take criticisms lightly. It is difficult to take the
height of a chair as an international incident, but Ayalon clearly
intended it as sending a significant statement to Turkey, and the
Turks took that statement to heart, so symbolism matters, Israel
chose the symbol and the Turks understood the meaning.
More difficult to understand is the purpose. Turkey is Israel*s
major ally*albeit informal*in the Muslim world. Turkey is also a
country of growing power. As a growing economic power, it
provides Israel with a regional dynamic economy to collaborate
with, something that does not exist in the rest of the region.
Turkey also has the most substantial and capable military force in
the region. Should Turkey shift its stance to a pro-Arab,
anti-Israeli position, the consequences for Israel*s long term
national security position would not be trivial.
Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman introduced a new
concept to Israeli diplomacy this week*and its treatment of the
Turkish Ambassador must be understood in this light. According to
Lieberman, it will be Israel*s policy to expel Ambassador*s from
countries whom Israel feels have unfairly criticized it. Not that
the presence of Ambassadors means as much today as it did in the
18th century, but the image of Israel responding to
criticism*which fair or not is widespread*by reducing relations
seems self-defeating. For many governments, having Israel reduce
diplomatic status causes no harm, and might even be a political
plus with their public. Obviously, Lieberman*s statement is meant
to generate support among the Israeli public, and it might well.
Taking criticism globally will generate the desire for a
response. But consider the strategic consequences.
Turkey has been shifting its position on its role in the Islamic
world in recent years, under the Islamist-rooted regime of
President Gul and Prime Minister Erdogan. But that regime,
although increasingly critical has also tried to bridge the gap
between Israel and the Arabs. It is far from being a
confrontational state. Moreover, the tensions within Turkey,
between the secularists in the military and the
civilian Islamist the AKP government is not Islamist regime are
substantial. Politics inside of Turkey are complicated and
therefore politics between Turkey and Israel are complicated.
Israel*s grand strategy has been, ever since its peace treaty with
Israel, to divide the regional Islamic world, finding common
interests with regional nations, with the goal of making certain
that no common front confronts Israel. Israel has formal treaties
with Jordan and Israel, both based on common enemies. The
Jordanian government, the ruling Hashemites and not
Palestinians*fear the Palestinians at least as much as Israel.
Egypt, which suppressed an insurgency by the Muslim Brotherhood MB
never engaged in an insurgency. You are referring to MB*s main
rival, the Gamaa al-Islamiyah in the 1980s, opposes Hamas which is
the heir of Egypt*s largest Islamist movement, the Muslim
Brotherhood. Israel uses mutual hostility toward the Palestinians
to create a balance of power on its border.
Both Egypt and Jordan will say many critical things about Israel.
They need to speak to their domestic audience. But Israel
understands that what is said to satisfy that audience is not
necessarily connect to their foreign and security policies. Some
Israelis condemn both Egypt and Jordan for these statements.
However if Egypt were to repudiate its peace treaty and begin
refurbishing its military, and Jordan shifted to an anti-Israeli
policy and allowed third parties to use its territory*and the long
and difficult to defend Jordan River line*as a base of operations,
these would pose fundamental strategic threats to Israel. Israel
has adopted a very simple policy. Egypt and Jordan may say what
they want, so long as Egypt does not revert to a Nasserite
strategy and Jordan does not let a foreign force into the Jordan
valley. And given that they want to make certain that the
Egyptians and Jordanian regimes survive, they will gladly tolerate
periodic outbursts against Israel. Rhetoric is rhetoric.
Geopolitics is geopolitics and the Israelis understand the
difference between the two.
That makes Ayalon*s behavior*let alone Lieberman*s not yet
implemented policy*difficult to follow. As satisfying as the
scene was to some Israelis, they certainly knew how it would play
in Turkey. Perhaps they felt that by showcasing their
displeasure, this might incite secularists against the Islamists.
If so, this is a dangerous game. An insult to Turkey can mobilize
the secularists as much as the Islamists, and can lead to
consensus on at least the Israeli issue. The Israelis know very
well that this is not an Islamist v secularist thing. The Turkish
public * regardless of ideology *has grown overwhelmingly critical
of Israel in recent years.
When we step back and look at the strategic picture we see that
Turkey is slowly and systematically emerging both as a regional
power, and as one prepared to use its influence. Given the desire
of the United States to draw down its presence in Iraq, the United
States regards Turkey as a key part of its strategy. Turkey does
not want to see massive instability in Iraq any more than the
Americans do. Indeed, they are contributing in a small way I
would say the Turkish role is increasingly becoming significant in
Afghanistan. We have written about this quite a bit to the war in
Afghanistan. Moreover, in any confrontation with Iran, Turkey is
both a communications channel and a potential ally. Similarly
Turkey has substantial influence in the Caucasus, the
Baltics Balkans, no? and Central Asia. The United States is not
going to move into confrontation with Turkey. Indeed, it sees
Turkey not so much as a surrogate, which it is not, but as the
most significant regional power with interests aligned with the
United States.
Israel is also an ally of the United States, but is unable to
achieve the things Turkey might be able to do in Syria and Iraq,
as well as the rest of the region. Where the American interest is
currently to stabilize these countries and move them away from
Iran, the Turks can potentially help in the is process. The
Israelis can*t. That means that in any breakdown of relations
between Turkey and Israel, the United States will be hard pressed
to side with Israel. The U.S. has fundamental issues in common
with Turkey, and in breaking with Turkey, the Israelis might face
a serious breech with the United States.
But leaving the United States out of it, Israel needs its
relationship with Turkey as well. Looking at the region as a
whole, there are two major powers and one potential one. Turkey
and Israel are the major powers, Egypt is the potential one. As
the Turkish economy surges, as it has over the past years, it will
generate economic activity throughout the region, and particularly
in Egypt, where wage rates are low and where the middle class
while small, can buy Turkish products. A Turkish-Egyptian
economic relationship follows from the Turkish surge. Since
maintaining Egyptian neutrality is a foundation of national
security, souring relations with the Turks can create an economic
revival Egypt sponsored by a patron that is hostile to Israel.
Israel does not want to be caught between a hostile Egypt and
But even leaving aside that dynamic, Turkey is increasing its
influence in Syria. It currently shares Israel*s interests in
curbing Hezbollah in Lebanon and redirecting Syrian relations away
from Iran toward Turkey. Obviously this is a process that Israel
wants to see happen, but Turkey has options. It can expand its
influence in Syria without dealing with Hezbollah. Sure but Syria
is caught up with Iran and Hezbollah in a way that will force the
Turks to deal with Lebanese Shia movement.
The point is that Turkey has options. It is a developing power,
Israel is a power that has developed to its limits. Its emergence
can transform the region and Turkey has a number of ways to play
it. Israel, geopolitically and economically is committed in a
certain direction. This a moment during which Turkey has options,
and more options than Israel.
Israel has relatively few tools available to shape Turkey*s
choices. It does have several ways to close of some choices. One
choice that Turkey has is to maintain the relationship with
Israel. It doesn*t have to. If the Islamist I would just say the
AKP regime and not use the word Islamist choose not to maintain
the relationship, this will be a severe blow to Israel*s strategic
position. Logic would have it, therefore, that Israel would try
not to create a political process in Turkey that makes breaking
with Israel easier than not breaking with them. If Israel is
betting on the secularists to replace the Islamists AKP
government, it might happenDisagree. It is become extremely
difficult. No political party in Turkey is in a position to defeat
the AKP anytime soon, especially because the economy is doing
well. As for the military it is significantly weakening as a power
and has been on the defensive. We have been chronicling this in
the past several months. Besides anybody seen as aligning with
Israel will only be committing political suicide But foreign
policy is best carried out pessimistically, and the pessimistic
assumption is that the Islamists will hold on to power. Israel
needs a relationship with Turkey more than Turkey needs one with
Israel and that makes it hard to make unhedged bets on Turkey*s
internal politics.
Lieberman and Ayalon, by deliberately embarrassing the Turks, are
unlikely to cause the Turks to want to improve their relationship
with Israel. The problem is that Lieberman and Ayalon seem to
underestimate the degree to which Israel needs this relationship.
The fact is that Turkey can afford to criticize Israel because if
Israel takes umbrage and breaks relations, it actually solves
diplomatic problems for Turkey, without harming their strategic
position. If Turkey breaks with Israel, Israel now has a very
powerful regional adversary quite capable of arming regional Arab
powers. It is also a country able to challenge the primacy of the
Israeli relationship in American regional thinking.
It is difficult to know whether Ayalon*s move was sanctioned by
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu. As has been the case in Israel
for years, Netanyahu*s coalition is weak and fragmented, giving
room for smaller parties to pursue their own policies. There is no
question but that embarrassing the Turkish Ambassador pleased many
Israelis, particularly ones who are already part of the
coalition. As a move speaking to Israel, it might have made
sense. But Ayalon also spoke to the Turkish public, and at the
moment, the Turkish voters may well be more important to Israel
than their own. Turkey is too powerful a country for Israel to
have as an

The Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program began as a four-state pilot in 2002 but expanded with the 2008 farm bill to become a nationwide program. Initial funding was $40 million for the 2008 school year and increased to $150 million per year for the 2011-12 school year.
The agency said program funds are allocated at $50 to $75 per student per school year, between $1 and $2 per student per week, to schools with the highest percentage of low-income students.
For fiscal year 2013, DiSogra said program funding was near $163 million, which included some carryover funds from the previous year. The Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program, now in more than 7,000 U.S. schools, is not subject to mandated sequestration budget cuts. Similar funding for the program is anticipated for fiscal year 2014, DiSogra said.
Of specialty crop programs in the 2008 farm bill, DiSogra said the $1.2 billion in funding over 10 years for the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program represents a big slice of the estimated $3 billion allocation over 10 years for all specialty crop industry programs in the farm bill.
"It's very significant for our members and our association," she said.
In his appearance in South Dakota, Vilsack also announced that $285 million will be made available to the states for healthy eating initiatives under the SNAP: Nutrition Education and Obesity Prevention Program, a food stamp program. He said initiatives might include investing in farmers markets, community gardens in low-income areas, or educating retailers on how to stock healthier choices.
Tom Quaife, editor of The Packer's sister publication "Dairy Herd Management," contributed to this article.

You've established your look and selected your wedding colors – from the bridesmaid dresses down to the linen on the escort table. You're surrounded by friends and family as you exchange vows and celebrate your love, a collection of moments that are both truly blissful and fleeting. Eventually, after the dust settles and you've preserved your gown, you'll be able to sit down and reflect on your special day through photographs detailing every moment.
As photographers, we've seen numerous weddings with different styles and recognize that couples have so many factors to juggle: aesthetics, budget, logistics. The list goes on. There are a few elements that can make or break the memories captured as you celebrate your new life together, many of which you may not have even considered.
Choose a great location for getting ready pre-ceremony. This is often an afterthought, but the location of the 'getting ready' images of the bride can be key, especially if the weather is iffy. Spaces filled with daylight are a photographer's dream and the perfect place for capturing the bride alone before the ceremony. Additionally, these locations can act as backdrops for pictures with your bridesmaids and friends, before bridal party photos are taken.
Give yourself enough time for styling. Make sure you get styled first. Things like last-minute adjustments to hair and makeup are always a possibility, and the last thing you want on your big day is to be rushed or unhappy with the way you look.
Consider seeing each other before the ceremony. Some brides believe it's bad luck to see the groom before the ceremony or, more often, will lean on the tradition just for tradition's sake without considering other options. By seeing each other beforehand, the photographer is able to capture the emotion in a private, picturesque setting. During the ceremony, you don't have much time to speak to each other and really take it all in – and it's much harder for photographers to capture an emotional moment.
Additionally, the bride's hair and makeup are usually at their best pre-ceremony and you actually have time for photographs, easing the stresses of rushing to the reception and maintaining a concrete timeline.
Be yourself and allow your ceremony to be a reflection of you, as a couple. Incorporate and blend your family and religious traditions. Weddings are all about adding those personal touches. Does your best friend sing beautifully or play an instrument? Consider having him/her perform during the ring exchange or as you make your entrance into the reception venue.
Consider the width of the aisle when decorating. Allow enough room for you, your dress and the photographers/videographers, if possible. Some aisles can be really narrow, so it's important to keep in mind the placement of vases, candles and anything that could potentially be a hazard.
Create a focal point. The Ceremony is such a memorable and important part of the day, so there should be some sort of 'wow factor 'when the couple exchanges vows, likely at an altar. Whether you decide on a chuppah, tall floral arrangements or something more customized, you want to be sure it's eye-catching and cohesive with the adornments throughout the rest of the space.
Keep touch-ups in mind and consider a second look. Take the elements into account, especially if it's a Chicago wedding. Chances are it will be windy, snowy or humid, which can be difficult with hair and makeup. The last thing you want is for your hair or makeup to compromise your pictures.
Consider keeping your stylist on board until all bridal party photos have been taken. By doing so, your stylist will be on hand for touch-ups throughout the portrait session as well as a transitional look from the ceremony to the reception.
Alter the size of your tabletop arrangements throughout the space. This will ultimately add layers and depth to your pictures and is especially important if your reception is being held at a venue with high ceilings or ornate architecture. The elaborate element can often overshadow beautiful tabletop arrangements and this is a trick that will help them stand out.
Consider adding 'dummy' layers to your wedding cake or placing it on a pedestal. Don't skimp on the size of your wedding cake, especially if your venue is large and elaborate. By using secret 'dummy' layers, you create the illusion of a grandiose cake. One layer can then be added and used for cutting. Additionally, utilizing pedestals creates the same illusion of height and dimension.
Make use of uplighting. Using these lighting techniques can visually heighten your venue, giving it a more dynamic presence on film and in photographs. Aside from heightening the space, it works beautifully for accentuating the architectural elements, which can quickly change the look and feel of your reception venue.

I also think some collectors (it happened to my brother once) buy the card feeling rest assured that a grading service like Beckett is high-quality, top-notch when in the case of BCCG clearly it is not. While I'm add it, could you improve the quality of the pages in the Beckett Price Guides? They seem to rip very easily and I have to buy new ones all the time.

There are many reasons why people decide to purchase a cheap portable air conditioner. These are typically used to cool areas of homes and offices that do not seem to get cool enough with a central air conditioning unit.

Zack Greinke hasn't looked good thus far in his first spring training with the Milwaukee Brewers. I figured this was because it was spring training and it doesn't really matter, but unfortunately that wasn't the case and he has actually been nursing a rib injury since the beginning of spring training. How was the rib injury sustained, you ask? Was he signing too many autographs for his new Brewers fans? No. Was he working out extra hard to get back into Cy Young award winning form for his new team? No. Was he doing an extreme version of the Zack Greinke dance? Sadly, no.
No, Zack Greinke got his rib injury playing basketball. Going for a rebound. For real. I'm not kidding. Our savior thinks he's Tom frickin' Gugliotta.
To make matters worse "rib injury" is actually a poor way to describe what Zack Greinke is suffering with because he actually has a BROKEN RIB and a CRACKED RIB. You know, no big deal. It's not like pitchers need their ribs or anything. It's only the worst news to ever happen in the history of baseball. Read the rest of this entry »

From the above list of corrections, try different transpositions until you get

Release Date: Tuesday, March 19, 2013
Charleston, W.Va. (March 19, 2013) – University of Charleston President Ed Welch today announced a freeze of undergraduate tuition for the 2013-14 school year, keeping the school's tuition over $5,500 below the national average for private universities in the United States.
Today's announcement keeps the cost of UC-Charleston's tuition and fees at $19,500 for undergraduates for the second year in a row. UC-Beckley and UC-Martinsburg locations will continue using a pay-per-credit cost structure. Many course costs will keep their same rate, while some health science courses will see minor increases.
"While the University of Charleston is expanding its enrollment and locations, we are committed to holding down costs to be affordable," said Dr. Welch. "Attending a private university is a rewarding experience, but the perception of many Americans is that it isn't attainable. We want to show students and their families that earning your degree at UC is financially possible."
Nationally, tuition has increased significantly over the last 10 years for students. According to College Board, average tuition and fees for private institutions have risen 26 percent during that time, while public school tuition and fees have increased 61 percent. UC-Charleston's current tuition falls $5,521 below the national average for private schools 2012-13 tuition and fees, and $420 below the 2002-03 average.
UC gained national attention last year for bucking the trend and cutting undergraduate tuition by 22 percent, or $5,500, for the 2012-13 school year. The University also announced the opening of two new physical locations in West Virginia in 2012, as well as a venture into the world of online learning.
The 2012-13 academic year marks UC's 125th anniversary as an academic institution. UC was founded in 1888 as Barboursville Seminary, renamed Morris Harvey College in 1901, moved to Charleston in 1935 and was renamed the University of Charleston in 1978.

Order Information
Joe Crosson became a national hero between the world wars flying mercy missions in the North, including a dangerous search in a dark Siberian winter for a lost pilot, Carl Ben Eielson, and a bitterly cold winter flight in an open cockpit carrying serum through unchartered mountains to Barrow, Alaska. He was the first pilot to land on a glacier. Thriving on adversity and overcoming tragedy, Crosson's is a story of grit and determination.
"Author Dirk Tordoff's loves for Alaska and aviation come shining through in this thoroughly compelling story of one of aviation's earliest heroes. The book makes for fascinating reading if only for the tales of survival and air disasters, let alone the stories of the early flights over the unforgiving Alaskan wilderness... aviation fans take note: Consider this book a must-read." --Fearless Reviews
"All in all, a quite satisfying book, well worth reading, as Crosson's career is a mini-history of aviation in Alaska. Highly recommended." --Daily Sentinel, Sitka, AK
ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Dirk Tordoff, a lifelong Alaskan, conducted the research for MERCY PILOT to satisfy his project requirement while earning a master's degree in northern studies from the University of Alaska Fairbanks.

A group of five male employees participated in this year's Spartan Sprint in Conyers, Ga.
Youth Service Officer Nathan Ross described the event as "five and a half miles of tough road."
"This was a huge challenge," Ross said.
Participants had to run, climb muddy ropes, hurdle walls, complete a lateral rock wall, crawl under barbed wire, traverse creeks and overcome other obstacles.
YSO Scooter Hayworth said there was an obstacle about every quarter mile. There were about 15 obstacles in all.
Some obstacles proved to be too much for the local participants resulting in penalties of completing squat thrusts at the end of the race.
"There were times where some of us just had to give up and take the penalty," Ross said.
The five Juvenile Court officers that participated were joined by Ross' son Hunter and administrative assistant Malita Cornett's son Colin. Both boys are 15 years old.
"It surprised me how well the younger kids did with it," Ross said. "It was fun for me and my son to actually do something together."
The local participants focused on staying together and finishing safely rather than trying to win.
They completed the course in one hour and 59 minutes.
"After we all came back in the office, we all had our medals and all the war stories... there was a glow in the office," Ross said.
The event served as a way for the already tight knit group to grow closer.
"I feel like this is a family more than a work place," participant YSO Steven Rogers said.
Ross was the ringleader in forming the group.
"Here at Juvenile (court) Judge Daniel Swafford and Terry Gallaher, the director — they are real adamant about us staying fit. They are very supportive of that," Ross said.
As part of this support, the court has provided a workout area for employees to use during breaks.
Ross first discovered Spartan Races with his son while looking at physical challenge races on YouTube.
"I showed it to the guys here and next thing you know we are getting a group together," Ross said.
Ross and Rogers spent six months training for the event.
Rogers said running was a major component of training for the race. Weight training was also important.
The officers also became more conscious of what they were eating to get healthier in preparation for the race.
Rogers said the most difficult obstacle for him was climbing the rope. Participants had to climb a rope, over a pit of mud, up to a bell. Ross said he was unable to complete the challenge.
Hayworth said the lateral rock climb was the most difficult obstacle for him.
In true Spartan style, the trail ended with participants running past people trying to hit them with gladiator sticks. The local participants used a "Flying V formation" to keep everyone from getting hit, Rogers said
"It was fun and painful all in one trip," Rogers said of the course.
The participants had to sign numerous waivers and purchase social insurance in order to participate.
"The first aid tent was packed the whole time we were there," Hayworth said.
After the group finished the course, they still had a two-mile trek back to their car.
Ross said he hopes to take a group again next year.

Veteran defensive coach turned in one of his finest performances to date in 2013. Rapidly developed a corps of young linebackers after senior captain Corey Nelson was lost to a season-ending injury early in the year. Dominique Alexander was named the Big 12 Defensive Freshman of the Year and earned Freshman All-America honors, while sophomores Eric Striker and Frank Shannon also received postseason accolades from the Big 12 coaches for their exemplary play. Shannon led the Sooners with 92 tackles in 2013, while Alexander (80 tackles) ranked second. Striker tied a Sugar Bowl record with 3.0 sacks, while adding seven tackles and a forced fumble in that game. Named interim head coach of the University of Arizona football team on October 10, 2011. He had served as defensive coordinator since December 2010 and was co-defensive coordinator during the 2010 season. He also served as Arizona's assistant head coach. Developed three new starters in 2010 with JUCO transfer Paul Vassallo earning honorable mention All-Pac-10 honors, becoming the first Wildcat since Lance Briggs to post more than 100 tackles. Mentored Xavier Kelley into a All-Pac-10 Second Team pick in 2009, while Vuna Tuihalamaka into an honorable mention selection as the Wildcats ranked second in the Pac-10 in total defense. Under his guidance, Ronnie Palmer was a four-year, 41-game starter and 2008 honorable mention All-Pac-10 pick as a senior after earning Freshman All-America accolades in 2005. In the 2008 Las Vegas Bowl, Arizona linebackers combined 30 tackles from three positions. The Wildcats' starting linebackers recorded 20+ tackles in 12 games in 2007-08. Spencer Larsen led the conference with 131 tackles to earn All-Pac-10 First Team honors in 2007. The versatile Larsen has gone on to play both linebacker and fullback in the NFL ranks with Denver, New England and Tampa Bay. Part of an Illinois staff that took a team with an 0-11 record in 1997 and improved the squad's mark to 8-4 by 1999. His Illini unit that year recovered 13 fumbles, had 30 sacks and intercepted 14 passes, plus knocked off No. 9 Michigan in Ann Arbor and posted another big road victory at No. 22 Ohio State. The Illini beat Virginia in the Micronpc.com Bowl and finished the season ranked No. 24. During his time at Army, he helped the Cadets make three bowl appearances, including a 31-29 victory over Illinois in the 1985 Peach Bowl. That season Army posted a 9-3 record and held eight of 12 opponents to 17 points or less. Kish also guided an Army defense that held the opposition to 17 points or less 42 times during his tenure at West Point. |

With September in full swing, you're probably gearing up for chillier temps and thinking about how you can make your wardrobe look just a little more grown up. Consider the blazer: With the right details, it's the easiest way to look cool and put-together (plus, it's a staple that celebs are wearing everywhere right now). But how do you strike the right balance between stuffy and super-polished? Our tips:
- Go for the most flattering fit, and don't be afraid to visit the tailor's for some alterations—it's worth it!
- Opt for a blazer with standout details, like Selena's. Spikes, studs, and anything with a little bit of punk are huge for fall.
- Ditch the black for a bold color or rad print. Show off your personality!
- Rock your blazer with a graphic tee and boyfriend jeans, or give your fave summer dress some much-needed layering. The only piece to ditch is your skirt. Paired with a blazer, your look can too closely resemble a high-school uniform.
- Bonus: You'll score major pro points when you rock a blazer at your internship. Just tone down the loud details for daytime!

ACCA (the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) and MIA (the Malta Institute of Accountants) have signed a new agreement extending the existing Joint Examination Scheme (JES) to incorporate ACCA's Foundations in Accountancy suite of entry-level awards. This agreement signals the continuation of a successful history of partnership working between the two accountancy bodies.
Roger Acton, director-Europe at ACCA, joined MIA's president, Anthony Doublet, to sign the Foundations in Accountancy Joint Examination Scheme (JES) and renew the ACCA Qualification Professional Level JES. The Permanent Secretary at the Ministry of Education & Employment, Dr. James Calleja, in representation of the Minister the Hon. Dolores Christina, was also present at the signing event, signalling the Ministry's support of this development for the local profession.
Roger Acton said: 'Working with other bodies is a vital part of ACCA's strategy and also encompasses one of our core values, that of innovation. Through working with other organisations and people, we can come up with and discuss fresh ideas to keep the accountancy profession advanced. By working together, we can ensure both bodies are training and developing accountants for the future.'
Anthony Doublet concluded: 'I am delighted to be extending this partnership which leads to both ACCA and MIA qualifications; allowing students to complete the examination requirements for membership of both ACCA and the MIA. This offers many opportunities for members and supports lifelong career and development needs.'
This new agreement will take effect from 24 September and any new students registering to study Foundations in Accountancy after this date will do so under the JES. The first exam session will be held in December 2012.

It is often felt that wealthy individuals have access to investments and opportunities that others of lesser means do not have. In my years of practice, I can agree on some levels but also disagree on others.
Let's take the case of Penny Pritzker. A recent Chicago Tribune article outlines some of Ms. Pritzker's investments. It turns out many of the investments cited in the article are available to the average investor.
These include two fixed-income mutual funds run by the legendary Jeffrey Gundlach called the DoubleLine Total Return Bond Fund and the DoubleLine Low Duration Bond Fund. Both have excellent performance records. These funds have two 'classes' of shares, which depend on how you buy the funds and how much you invest. For Pritzker, she paid just pennies in management fees: 0.49 percent and 0.48 percent of assets, respectively. For someone coming into the funds with $35,000, however, the management fee would be approximately 50 percent higher.
The Templeton Global Bond Advantage Fund is also available and carries a five-star rating from Morningstar. (Note: I am not affiliated with Templeton.)
The only fund in which Ms. Pritzker invests that is not accessible to the average investor is the GMO Quality Fund because of its minimum investment requirement of $300 million. However, if it makes you feel any better, for the last year (ending June 5, 2013), you would have been better off investing in the Standard and Poor's (S&P) 500 index, which has returned 26.19 percent versus the GMO Quality Fund at 23.01 percent.
The wealthy do have the ability to access investments that the average investor cannot in real estate. Average investors can also invest in individual real estate holdings, but the downside involves a lack of diversification, lack of market knowledge, and the extensive amount of time required for management. Individual investors do have access to REITs (real estate investment trusts), and REITs have certainly performed well, but the fees and expenses can inhibit the returns, so someone like Ms. Pritzker may choose to do it on her own.

Passage the cells every 4 to 5 days (80% confluent) at an appropriate split ratio (a 1:4 split ratio is recommended). If the colonies are close to, or touching each other, the culture is overgrown. Overgrowth will result in differentiation. ROCK Inhibitor Y27632 is not necessary each time the culture medium is changed. It is recommended when the cells are recovering from thaw or being passaged. This protocol is designed to passage stem cell colonies cultured in a 6 cm dish, using Stem Cell Dissociation Reagent to detach the cell colonies. Stem Cell Dissociation Reagent is stored as a 0.5 U/mL working solution at -20°C. The recommended spilt ratio is 1:4. Volumes should be adjusted according to the size and number of the tissue culture vessels to be processed. Dissolve the appropriate amount of Stem Cell Dissociation Reagent in DMEM: F-12 medium to prepare a 0.5 U/mL working solution. Example: To prepare 40 mL of a 0.5 U/mL working solution: Specific activity of Stem Cell Dissociation Reagent (on product label): 1.46 U/mg (40 mL)(0.5 U/mL) = 13.7 mg. (1.46 U/mg) Dissolve 13.7 mg Stem Cell Dissociation Reagent in 40 mL DMEM: F-12. Note: Addition of ROCK inhibitor has been shown to increase the survival rate during subcultivation and thawing of human iPSCs. The use of ROCK inhibitor may cause a transient spindle-like morphology effect on the cells. However, the colony morphology will recover after subsequent media change without ROCK inhibitor. Warm an aliquot of Stem Cell Dissociation Reagent working solution to room temperature. Aspirate and discard the stem cell culture medium. Rinse the cells twice by adding and discarding 4 mL of D-PBS. Add 2 mL of Stem Cell Dissociation Reagent working solution to the dish. Incubate at 37°C for 10 to 15 minutes or until the edges of the individual colonies begin to loosen and fold back. View the dish under the microscope starting at 5 minutes as incubation time will vary depending on the cell line and colony size. Aspirate the Stem Cell Dissociation Reagent and gently rinse the colonies with 4 mL of DMEM: F-12 Medium, taking care not to dislodge the cells during manipulation. Aspirate the DMEM: F12 rinse and discard. Add 2 mL of stem cell culture medium with ROCK Inhibitor Y27632 to the dish, and detach the cells by pipetting up and down 2 to 3 times with a 1 mL tip. Take care not to over-pipette the culture into a single-cell suspension as single cells will not establish colonies after seeding. If cells are not detaching, use a cell scraper to detach the cells. Transfer the cell aggregates to a 15 mL conical tube. Add an additional 3 mL of stem cell culture medium with ROCK Inhibitor Y27632 to the dish to collect any remaining cells. Transfer this rinse to the 15 mL conical tube containing the cell aggregates. Centrifuge the cell aggregates at 200 x g for 5 minutes. Aspirate the supernatant and discard. Add 1 mL of stem cell culture medium with ROCK inhibitor Y27632. Gently resuspend the pellet by pipetting up and down 2 to 3 times with a 1mL tip, maintaining the small cell aggregates. Take care not to over-pipette the culture into a single-cell suspension as single cells will not establish colonies after seeding. Plate the cells as desired on feeder or feeder-free cultures. Incubate the culture at 37°C in a humidified 5% CO2/95% air incubator. Perform a 100% medium change every day. Passage the cells every 4 to 5 days (80% confluent). Cryopreservation For optimal results, cryopreserve stem cell colonies when the cell cultures are 80% confluent. This protocol is designed to cryopreserve stem cell colonies cultured in a 6 cm dish. Detach stem cell colonies from the dish as described in the recommended subculturing protocol (steps 1-11). Gently tap the bottom of the tube to loosen the cell pellet. Take the Stem Cell Freezing Media from storage and swirl to mix. Keep cold. Decontaminate by dipping in or spraying with 70% alcohol. Add 2 mL of cold Stem Cell Freezing Media to the tube. Gently resuspend the pellet by pipetting up and down 2 to 3 times with a 1 mL tip, maintaining the cell aggregates. Immediately transfer 1 mL each of the cell suspension into two labeled cryovials. Freeze the cells gradually at a rate of -1°C/min until the temperature reaches -70°C to -80°C. A cryopreservation container (e.g., CoolCell® freezing container) may also be used. The cells should not be left at -80°C for more than 24 to 48 hours. Once at -80°C, frozen cryovials should be transferred to the vapor phase of liquid nitrogen for long-term storage.

In part one I talked about how we tend to handle negative emotions and in part two I talked about the effects negative emotions have on our body. In part three, I am going to talk about how to get rid of them once and for all.
The following is one process you can use to release negative emotions once and for all. I have included two books that I think are great for lay people and self-help fanatics at the end of the blog. I do encourage those who are looking to be focused and speedy in their results or have trauma/abuse as part of their history to use the books in conjunction with psychotherapy or hypnotherapy.
- Allow the emotion to arise. Do not judge it, allow it to be and observe it. It will usually go away on its own at the end of the process.
- Accept responsibility for how you feel. If you have a difficult time accepting responsibility, ask yourself: "What is the payoff I receive for feeling this way? Who am I blaming for this feeling or circumstance?" If you still have a difficult time, then question everything. Question where the feeling came from, why it is there, et cetera.
- Identify one of the first times you felt this way. Feelings are associated with other life events; try to identify some of those events and explore the meaning you attached to them regarding who you are – for example: do you feel unworthy or invisible.
- Change the context of the event. What would you have liked to feel instead? For example, would you have liked to feel brave, special or something else?
- Allow yourself to feel this positive emotion completely.
- Go back and identify the lessons from this chapter in your story. What did that teach you or help you learn? For example, if you realized that your feeling of anger is tied to being put down by your brother your entire life every time you attempted something new, perhaps you learned not to give up, to try harder and learn as much as you can about a topic in which you are interested.
- Embrace your pain and joy because they are part of your story. Every part of our life has prepared us to bring our unique gifts to the world. If you try to eliminate or deny a part of your life, you negate the power of your story and ability to create a life that reflects who you truly are.
In order to live a full life, you need to own who you are, the good and bad. Do not run from your negative emotions. Embrace them and allow them to teach you the lessons you have yet to learn. Transform them into high-level emotions like love, joy, acceptance and courage. The process is hard and the specifics look different for each person but it is completely doable! If you feel that you are stuck or struggling, you may want to consult a reputable psychotherapist.
The names of the two books that I think are helpful in dealing with negative emotions are: The Secret of the Shadow by Debbie Ford and Letting Go, The Pathway of Surrender by David Hawkins.
I hope you found this helpful. If you are looking for additional resources, click here. As always, leave any comments below or contact me with personal questions. Pleasant journeys!

Hello, Please give us a simple disable gamepad option. For those of us who use our own non xbox controllers the game is auto detecting the usb device and overriding custom key mapping software. I've been able to disable xbox controller options in other games with this problem but I see no ini file to do this. Currently unplayable with a usb device mapped outside the game. thanks |

The only controller officially supported on PC is the Xbox 360 controller. One thing that has been shown to work though for certain other joysticks / controllers that are configured differently is to use a keymapping software such as Joy2Key, which will allow you to assign the various inputs as direct keyboard inputs, so your game thinks you're pressing keys on your keyboard, but you're really using your joystick. I know this isn't a perfect solution, but it has been shown to work. Community Manager - Volition, Inc.

I recogmend x360ce as it is a DLL file that emulates the xinput liberary (Liberary for communicating with the xbox controller), and allows you to map any joystick key/gamepad/whatever to it :) Quick edit: I have used this on several games including SRTT. It allowed me to use my cyborg rumble controller with saints row. |

Was that quote there for me? In that case why? I do in fact read the thread before posting. Also, Joy2Key is just an key mapper, and x360ce is an rewritten dll. This means you will be able to play all games that support the xbox controller with one configuration, and joystick axis mapping. Please do your homework before posting. |

This worked for me! Thank you :) They have actually brought out a new application for this which even does the key assignments and how to handle the axises for you! It is called XBOX 360 Controller Emulator . Run the .exe file in your game's home directory. It usually grabs your configuration from the net. I needed to tweak mine a bit but it is now working. You only need to do this once for all games if you back up the .exe and it's .ini file. It might not be supported by Volition (which means don't run to them if you have a problem. I don't blame them for taking that stance either , It's bloody hard to do that!) but it seems to work. I've been testing this for 12 hours now and it also works on various other games in a similar fashion. If you find it works for other games , tell the community so the developer can expand it. |
