Since the five million votes you cast last year are probably more than UAB will ever get, the selection committee has declared that which every man has been waiting for: In addition to naming Esquire's eighth-annual Sexiest Woman Alive in 2011, we are conducting a second-annual tournament to allow America to choose its own honoree. (Tragically, the magazine's past selections are ineligible.) Much like another epic March tournament, this competition starts with hard-earned seeds and pairings across four regions. Then you come in. As each round of actual March Madness continues, you'll get to vote on a new round of concurrent and equally exciting matchups, culminating in one winner, who will probably tweet about it profusely.

I love this dress it really shows off the curves! And its not sheer like it shows online!
Really pretty, it doesnt have a bra built in it though.
May 13, 2013
Not bad, Had to take up even the XXS
Looks good and sexy after I still had to take the XXS up on the sides since I have a small waist. Since it's 2 layers it wasn't easy taking it up myself but once I got it to fit right it will be great for an easy casual look either with flats or heels. I'm 5'4", 102 lbs and 23" waist. It's a decent buy but a 4 star cause I had to take it up more.
May 12, 2013
Beautiful Dress
I love this dress and suspect that it will sell out soon! It's a very nice quality but delicate so be careful. The lining of the dress is nude. It's long but not to long for me. I'm 5'3 and it goes down to my ankles. Perfect for Spring/Summer.
May 11, 2013
Purchased a size Small; this is the PERFECT summer dress! The picture was a littler misleading as you couldn't really tell how sheer the dress was. But I am happy to say that the overlay is white and the lining/interior is nude, so it's not all the way white, but the colors compliment each other very well. The outer netting is a bit delicate, and it is a bit long on me, so I will have to have it altered. And I also love that the straps adjust so that way cleavage doesn't show too much. I have the perfect jewelry and wedge sandals to go with this, and I also plan on pairing it with a denim jacket. But it can be worn either casual or dressy, which is another reason that this is the perfect summertime dress!
May 6, 2013
love it
I tried this on and loved it very cute and sexy even though i keep buying maxi dresses. Again as I said in some other reviews with the maxi dresses even though I am 145 lbs but I am very fit I needed xs as s was kinda loose, I usually wear s at bebe.

State attorney general investigates firm's cancer-funding sales pitch
BY STEPHANIE ZIMMERMANN Consumer Reporter email@example.com December 1, 2012 3:05PM
Adam Shryock, president of Boobies Rock. | Facebook photo

Updated: January 2, 2013 6:12AM
Boobies Rock — a for-profit business that's been doing heavy fund-raising for "breast-cancer awareness" in Chicago and around the country — has largely removed its presence on Facebook as the Illinois attorney general's office has begun investigating the company.
A Chicago Sun-Times investigation this week revealed that Boobies Rock was bringing in thousands of dollars at Bears, Cubs, college football games and at bar and nightclub events with the pitch "Would you like to donate to breast-cancer awareness?"
But many of the charities it claimed to benefit said they received little or no money.
After that story was published, Boobies Rock founder Adam Shryock emailed his managers telling them to " 'unpublish' their Boobies Rock! Facebook page until this passes" and explaining how to do so.
Among the dozens of now-vanished Facebook pages is the Boobies Rock-Chicago page, which had featured scores of photos of Boobies Rock sellers hawking T-shirts and other merchandise to tailgaters at Bears, Northwestern, St. Xavier and other games and raising funds through "Cocktails for a Cause" and other such events at bars.
Shryock said Friday the pages were removed because "several of the reps with pages expressed concerns about being harassed, death threats, etc."
He added: "That decision was also made because our biggest problem right now is with reps posting or presenting inaccurate information. Our focus right now is to clean that up and removing all Facebook pages but our main page with [sic] help in doing so."
Several charities whose names or logos were used by Boobies Rock to market its products told the Sun-Times they received only small donations, of $100 or $250 — and sometimes only after complaining.
A Boobies Rock presentation used to gain entry to some venues put its gross revenues for 2011 at about $1.1 million, with "total commitments" at just over $250,000. But those "commitments" included a $250,000 legal settlement that Shryock paid to the Keep-A-Breast Foundation to settle a trademark-infringement suit.
Included in that settlement figure was a $25,000 donation to the Young Survival Coalition.
Two weeks ago, Boobies Rock sent a $50,000 check to The Pink Fund, a Michigan charity that got its lawyer involved after Boobies Rock used the charity's name and logo to raise money.
Matthew Link, legal counsel for the Chicago City Council Finance Committee, chaired by Ald. Edward Burke (14th), said Burke plans to introduce a measure calling for an investigation into whether Boobies Rock violated city ordinances, consumer-protection laws or charitable fund-raising laws.
Link said Burke was offended by Shryock's response to the charities' criticisms in which Shryock told the Sun-Times: "We have the right to say who we give money to . . . We don't have to be best friends with them [the charities] but we have the right to say who we give money to."
"I think most people would be greatly offended by the position that the company's founder took," Link said. "What does it do to the legitimate charities that are trying to collect for their causes?"
The city's Department of Business Affairs and Consumer Protection did a preliminary check, and "as far as we can tell they don't have any city permit to be selling anything," said spokeswoman Jennifer Lipford.
The Illinois Attorney General's Charitable Trust Bureau is conducting its own investigation, spokeswoman Maura Possley said.
Melonie Murray, Boobies Rock's former promotional manager in Phoenix, quit the company last summer. Murray said she was given a quota — $350 minimum for each two-hour bar event — and became disillusioned when managers at Boobies Rock would not tell her exactly how much of the money was going to charity. When she submitted the name of a woman with breast cancer — the best friend of a local Boobies Rock model — in response to the company's call for submissions, she said, "They said, 'Well, that's not how it works.' And I asked them how it works, and they blew me off."
Shryock said he didn't remember that request but said the company gets many requests and can't meet them all.

R. Kelly's Olympia Fields mansion auctioned for $950,000
BY LISA DONOVAN Cook County Reporter email@example.com March 18, 2013 1:13PM
R. Kelly

Updated: April 20, 2013 6:23AM
If he hasn't already, controversial R&B artist R. Kelly should be readying to move everything — including anything trapped in closets — out of his south suburban mansion.
On Monday, his 22,000-square-foot Olympia Fields home went up for auction as part of ongoing foreclosure proceedings, and Kelly's lender on the property, JP Morgan Chase, offered the sole bid of $950,000 on Monday.
Once a judge signs off on the purchase, the lender can ask a Cook County Chancery Court judge to evict the owner, according to the Sheriff's Office, which handles eviction orders.
An attorney for Chase emailed the bid to the sheriff's office, whose myriad duties include serving as auctioneer for foreclosed properties. A Chase spokeswoman reached later in the day declined to comment on the auction, citing "borrower privacy."
Once a judge signs off on the deal, the bank can ask a judge to have the sheriff evict the owners and, eventually, move toward putting the home on the market.
The house on Maros Lane boasts six bedrooms, eight full bathrooms, six half-baths, an indoor pool and theatre, according to the Cook County assessor's office and the Century 21 real estate listing. The home sits on 3 acres with a private lake surrounded by imposing iron fence in the tony Maynegaite Woods subdivision.
The foreclosure is seemingly another sign of financial problems for one of the best-selling, highest-earning recording artists of all time, who rose to acclaim with songs like "I Believe I can Fly" and has penned the operetta "Trapped In the Closet" — a musical soap opera with 33 chapters depicting the complicated and sometimes tangled sex lives of its characters.
Last year, the Sun-Times reported Kelly owed the Internal Revenue Service nearly $5 million in unpaid taxes, according to documents held by the Cook County Recorder of Deeds.
His one-time spokesman, Allan Mayer, reached in Los Angeles said he couldn't comment on the auction but said Kelly is not having financial problems.
Kelly's business manager Derrel McDavid didn't return a call for comment.
Kelly originally paid $1.5 million for the Olympia Fields property that once belonged to the Maros family, who owned several McDonald's restaurants. Kelly demolished the house to build the mansion that sits there today. Bess Maros was "heartbroken" to learn that Kelly had torn down the home, Maros' daughter told the Sun-Times after her mother's death.
Kelly custom-built the 16-room gated mansion in 1997, according to the Associated Press.
In March 1999, Chase gave Kelly a $3.5 million mortgage but he still owed $2.9 million on it back in 2011, according to court filings.

Watsco Inc's quarterly net PPE increased from Mar. 2014 ($44 Mil) to Jun. 2014 ($45 Mil) and increased from Jun. 2014 ($45 Mil) to Sep. 2014 ($45 Mil).
Watsco Inc's annual net PPE increased from Dec. 2011 ($39 Mil) to Dec. 2012 ($43 Mil) and increased from Dec. 2012 ($43 Mil) to Dec. 2013 ($45 Mil).
Property, Plant and Equipment (PPE) are the fixed assets of the companyFixed assets are also known as non-current assets.
Property, plant, and equipment includes assets that will - in the normal course of business - neither be used up in the next year nor will become a part of any product sold to customers.
Some of the most common parts of property, plant, and equipment are:
Companies with lots of property, plant, and equipment often have special categories. For example, railroad property includes:
There is often a note in the financial statements - found in a companys 10-K - that will explain the different categories of property a company owns.
The market value of property, plant, and equipment can differ tremendously from the book value of property, plant, and equipment.
For example, when Berkshire Hathaway liquidated its textile mills, it had to pay the buyers of the companys manufacturing equipment to haul the equipment away. That property, plant, and equipment was literally worth less than zero. On the other hand, some companies own thousands of acres of land.
All property, plant, and equipment other than land is depreciated. Land is never depreciated. However, land is not marked up to market value either. Under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), land is shown on the balance sheet at cost.
The property, plant, and equipment line shown on the balance sheet is usually net property, plant, and equipment. This means it is the cost of the property, plant, and equipment less accumulated depreciation.
A company with durable competitive advantage doesnt need to constantly upgrade its equipment to stay competitive. The company replaces when it wears out. On the other hand, a company without any advantages must replace to keep pace.
Difference between a company with a moat and one without is that the company with the competitive advantage finances new equipment through internal cash flows, whereas the no advantage company requires debt to finance.
Producing a consistent product that doesnt change equates to consistent profits. There is no need to upgrade plants which frees up cash for other ventures. Think Coca Cola, Johnson & Johnson etc.

Comments about SPORTLINE Men's DUO 1060 Speed & Distance Heart Rate Monitor:
this was a replacement for an older model. I had very good service from the first DUO 1060 however the chest strap broke when I unbuckled it. I have been trying to get Sportline to replace it for 3 weeks or more. It has a design flaw I believe my first strap never game me any trouble and I use it about 4 days a week. After a couplpe of thousand uses you would think it might break if a brand new one breaks first try. The old one still works.

Bell Academy, Parks Elementary and Pearman Elementary will be participating in the March 28 Kids Walk to Cure Diabetes program.
Cleveland School District first partook in the walk last year and the national program spearheaded by the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation continues to grow across American schools.
"We have eight students on record in the Cleveland School District with Type 1 diabetes," said Angie Campbell, a nurse with the district and event coordinator. "It doesn't seem like a big number considering the amount of kids in our schools, but to me, any amount is too many."
The walk is linked with an in-school fundraising program operating on two goals: to educate students about Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, and to provide them with an opportunity to make a difference by raising money for T1D.
The money raised will be sent to JDRF to contribute towards research, treatment and prevention.
Those wishing to donate can also find a link for the district platform at www2.jdrf.org.
Donations will wrap up on the day of the walk, the ceremonial closing to the campaign.
"We raised about $650 last year between two schools," said Campbell. "The kids are excited and we're looking to build on last year's success."
Keshaune Griffin, 13, a seventh-grader at D.M. Smith Middle School, walked last year and has a special connection to the event.
"It's important to me because it gives me the chance to meet other young people who also have Type 1 diabetes," said Griffin.
Griffin was diagnosed with T1D in the fourth grade but has learned to make the most of life ever since.
"Life has been different but it's enjoyable," said Griffin. "I'm happy to have all the family and friends help me through this."
Griffin, a former student at Bell Academy, is anticipating another opportunity to put a positive twist on the illness after receiving the invite to come back and walk at Bell again this year.
"I look forward to walking with people like me — people who have experienced what I've experienced.
"Diabetes is more than just the medicine you take or the food you can't eat. It's about going out there, having fun and living with it."
The Kids Walk to Cure Diabetes program also helps foster an environment of positive character building and community service.
Through JDRF efforts, students learn tolerance and empathy for others and raise awareness of T1D in the community.
As the largest charitable supporter of T1D research, JDRF is currently sponsoring $530 million in scientific research in 17 countries.
More than 80 percent of JDRF's expenditures directly support research and research-related education.
Campbell added that it's imperative parents help schools identify health problems when students are young.
"Parents need to help schools know if their child has diabetes or any other medical problems," she said. "Teachers and the staff are informed about these issues and students feel more comfortable knowing that."

The Bernina Express has to be the most spectacular Alpine crossing since Hannibal and his elephants. Departing from Chur, the crimson-coloured train ascends to the Engadine before weaving its way behind the Bernina Hospiz (2253 metres) through the Poschiavo Valley into Valtellina in Italy. The first highlight awaits passengers near Filisur, where the train traverses an awe-inspiring landmark – the 65-metre-high Landwasser viaduct. The train continues through 55 tunnels and across 196 bridges, making short work of the gradients even without a rack-and-pinion system. The cross-border Albula and Bernina Lines between Thusis and Tirano owe their 2008 inscription into the UNESCO World Heritage list to stunning scenery such as the Schyn Gorge, Morteratsch Glacier and Brusio spiral viaduct. And nothing can compare to that first glint of glacial ice on the horizon.

The yellow PostBus takes you through typical Engadine villages, the romantic Bergell Valley and in Italy along the shores of Lake Como.A cruise on Lake Lugano and an excursion to Gandria make a perfect pairing.

Consumer Bureau's Suit Against Law Firm Faces Big Challenge
Law firm fighting debt collection suit has won against similar claims
Represented by Mike Bowers, Fred Hanna's law firm has prevailed in other claims against its debt collection practices.
What's being said
A law firm regularly abuses the public and violates the law, and a series of judges give the law firm a pass. One judge actually suggests the plaintiff should make a complaint to the state bar about the lawyer instead of being permitted to sue for damages!
No wonder the public has nothing but contempt for lawyers, judges and the entire American legal system.

Don't panic!
One of the many advantages of being a member of a dentists-for-dentists specialist organisation such as Dental Protection, is that you are able to discuss your problems and concerns with experienced dental colleagues who can empathise with and understand the situation you are facing.
Dental Protection advocates a policy of honest and open communication with patients. When complications and errors do arise, you should be prepared to provide your patients with objective factual information in a caring and supportive fashion, together with an appropriate explanation of any clinical issues in terms that the patient is likely to understand. Patients have a right to be informed of any matters which relate to their health, or to treatment provided for them; you should try not to withhold objective factual information or an expression of regret or sympathy where appropriate.
Saying that you are sorry that an incident has occurred, or expressing your regret that a patient is upset or unhappy, is not necessarily an admission of guilt, fault or liability. It may not be appropriate, however, to speculate or to cast blame unless and until all the relevant facts have been carefully established by proper and thorough inquiry. An inappropriate remark could prejudice your own interests and/or those of other practitioners.
The following tips will help to reduce complaints and also assist in the success of any defence which may be required:
Further information on incident reporting and complaint handling is contained in the member pages at this back of the current Annual Review.

100% agree with the other comment. I love this dress! fits true to size and, the material is great. Ladies don't miss out on this amazing addition to a wardrobe.

Lovely & flowy dress!
I ordered this online and was looking for a dress to impress my bf at the airport and it did not disappoint me! It's got an under wear black slip that can be detached and the material is thick on the slip. I'm 5'5 and this dress hits right above the knee and feels good on. The tie sash lets you show off your curves and this dress can go from day to night with a change up of accessories and shoes. Glad I got this dress :)
September 1, 2013
Great dress, not sure it's what I was looking for
Great dress, fit is fantastic in XXS, I am 5'3" and 115 lbs, 32B/25/34. It's just a lot dressier than I expected. I ordered it because I thought I could wear it on vacation in Hong Kong during the day with flat sandals for a casual put together look, then switch to heels and a clutch for nighttime. It looks great dressed up, but it's not a casual dress at all, even with the cuffed sleeves and shirtdress silhouette. The skirt is very swingy and flared which adds to the dressy feel, I wish it was less so. For petite people, I feel it looks silly pairing the swingy skirt with flats. It does work with wedges. It's more of a sexy but conservative cocktail dress than a casual shirtdress, which was what I was looking for. I also feel it's a bit pricey considering it's polyester, not silk, but I suppose it's in line with the pricing of other cocktail dresses.

The Office of Postsecondary Education (OPE) formulates federal postsecondary education policy and administers programs that address critical national needs in support of our mission to increase access to quality postsecondary education. OPE is led by Lynn Mahaffie, Acting Assistant Secretary for Postsecondary Education.
OPE includes several major organizational components:
Higher Education Programs (HEP)
HEP administers programs to increase access to postsecondary education for low-income, first-generation students and students with disabilities. Included among these are the Federal TRIO Programs. HEP programs also strengthen the capacity of colleges and universities serving a high percentage of disadvantaged students by strengthening academic programs and institutional management, improving physical plants, and increasing endowments. The Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education provides grants to promote reform, innovation, and improvement in postsecondary education.
Policy, Planning, and Innovation (PPI)

text: (Attica, OH) The O'Reilly All Star Circuit of Champions make their final appearance at Attica Raceway Park with the running of the Attica Ambush presented by Baumann Auto Group/ Aaron's Sales & Lease/ Ohio CAT to close out the track's 20th Anniversary season.The All Stars have nearly made a home at Attica since the gates reopened in 1988 and have held over 80 events. Frankie Kerr and Dale Blaney are tied with the most career wins at the Northern Ohio 1/3-mile speed plant with eight victories a piece with defending series champion Greg Wilson with 7 feature wins in tow. Local legend and 12-time track champion Mark Keegan leads the Attica regulars with 4 wins over the All Stars with 2008 track champion Byron Reed having two wins to his credit.This season however Lance Dewease has been the only driver to visit victory lane at Attica under the All Star banner and the Pennsylvania driver finds himself in a fierce points championship battle with Ohio's Dale Blaney with only a handful of races remaining. The 25th Anniversary of Ohio Sprint Speedweek got off to a soggy start at Attica back in June with the opening event being canceled because of Mother Nature.The anticipation builds for the Attica Ambush with the recent announcement of Tyler Walker making a return to O'Reilly All Star competition aboard a Kasey Kahne Racing supplied machine. Tyler Walker has 7 wins on his racing resume with the All Stars, but has yet to find victory lane at 'Ohio's Finest Racing' venue.Bring your family, call your friends because this event is one you will not want to miss. Dewease, Blaney, Hannagan, Martin, Walker and many more All Stars against the fierce weekly competitors at Attica like Reed, Harrison, Linder & Weaver just to name a few going for the $5,000 prize after a 40-lap feature. The Service Drive Solutions UMP Attica Late Models and dirt trucks will also be in action with no points on the line and only going for the win as Curtis Deisenroth (ARP Lates) & Cory Ward (dirt trucks) were crown track champions last weekend.Adult general admissions is $20, seniors $18, ages 11-15 $15 and ages 10 & under are free. Pit passes are priced at $30. Gates will open a half hour early this Saturday night at 4 p.m. with racing slated to start at 7:30 p.m.

OWENSBORO, Ky. (7/24/13) - Only got $20 in your pocket? New Life Church's Thrift Shop has you covered.
New Life opened its doors, Tuesday, July 9, to the Owensboro area with its affordable clothing, accessories, home furnishings, and more. Todd Camp, Pastor of New Life Church, and his wife, Sandy, manage the thrift shop located across the street from the church on the corner of W 4th and Crabtree Ave."It's low cost and quality for our neighbors and Owensboro locals," Todd Camp said.
The proceeds for the thrift shop support New Life Church's ministry. The ministry includes a food pantry, soup kitchen, and soon, an emergency shelter for women.
Camp said he hopes that the store will provide future employment to the neighborhood, as well as retail job training. Volunteers are always welcome for sorting and stocking items, Camp added. Volunteers are often a diverse group of people including the recently retired and also court-ordered volunteers.
Buying customers are important to the business, but donors are what keep the business afloat, said Camp.
"We are always in need of donations," Camp said.
New Life Thrift has had a steady flow of customers since its grand opening two weeks ago.
"We are pleased with the results so far," Camp said.

Referred to by some tailgaters as "crack dip" because they find it irresistible, this sour cream and mayonnaise dip, made with Ranch dressing mix, shredded cheddar and bacon, is a sure winner. |
Cheddar Bacon Dip
Now y'all know I love my my dips, though I'm probably a bit more endeared to hot dips than I am cold ones, but with The Big Game coming up, I thought it'd be nice to get this favorite up on the site.This one is a variation from a 2004 Taste of Home recipe, and is a little bit in line with the old school onion dip we all seem to love - the primary base background coming from sour cream and a little bit of mayonnaise. That's a good start, right?
Well, this one includes some Ranch dressing mix and a little bit of garlic powder for seasoning, a dash or three of hot sauce, some shredded cheese - I prefer very finely shredded cheddar cheese myself - and some bacon! What's not to love about all that?
Kind of like Mississippi Sin, tailgaters of various teams have adopted this recipe as their own team dip, often referring to it as "crack" or "crack dip," but I think that title has already been taken. I'm not a fan of that expression personally, so I don't know about all that, but it is quite a tasty cold dip and worthy of an addition to the dip hall of fame here at Deep South Dish.
One word of warning though - don't be tempted to add in any salt or salt based seasonings because between the packaged Ranch, the bacon, and the cheese, there is plenty of sodium already present. My favorite way to enjoy this dip is with corn chips or tortilla chips, though remember that is just another level of saltiness! Ay-iii!
This recipe makes roughly 2-1/2 cups of dip, so if you're having a large gathering, you may want to double it. It is also tasty with some seeded, chopped and well drained tomatoes added - just make sure that they are dry before you stir them in, and wait to add them just before serving.
Here's how to make it.
If you think this sounds yummy, I'd sure ♥ it if you'd click to pin it, tweet it, stumble it, or share it on Facebook to help spread the word - thanks!

DES MOINES – The DNR received a report of a 50-gallon diesel fuel spill from a portable fuel tank onto the ground at Drake University around 8 a.m. today. The product ran off and entered a storm drain that directed the fuel to Closes Creek.
Mark Chambers, who reported the spill for Drake University, said absorbent material was utilized at the affected area and booms were applied across the creek. Clean Harbors, an environmental contractor onsite for other work, initially assisted university staff.
Hydro-Klean is completing the cleanup of the spill.
The estimated spill amount was reduced to 35 gallons of diesel fuel.
The DNR is investigating and will assess possible affects to aquatic life in Closes Creek.

Defending against Damage and Devastation…
There is growing list of East Coast and Gulf Coast states that mandate the use of impact resistant products in Wind-Borne Debris Regions. The need to protect property and people from hurricanes and violent storms has become a crucial requirement in the construction industry.
As coastal populations and development increase, the threat of injuries, deaths and damage to property during hurricanes and violent storms has intensified. A major cause of property damage and injury is the penetration of the building envelope by wind-borne debris caused by powerful wind, relentless rain and internal/external pressure changes. Responding to these challenges, we offer single source responsibility and solutions to fit your needs with a comprehensive group of hurricane resistant products. These products not only withstand the wrath of hurricanes and storms but provide increased security throughout the year.
Our range of hurricane resistant products have been independently tested and many have received Notices of Acceptance (NOA's) issued by Miami-Dade County BCCO. Products continue to be tested and submitted to Miami-Dade County BCCO for additional NOA's.
Our hurricane resistant products meet the testing standards for Wind-Borne Debris as set forth in ASTM E 1886 and 1996, Florida Building Code (FBC) Protocols TAS 201, TAS 202 and TAS 203. A growing list of states throughout the East Coast and Gulf Coast Areas of the United States from New York to Texas continue to reference these standards in current building codes. These codes mandate the use of hurricane resistant products in Wind-Borne Debris Regions.

The county has a total of 70 registered sex offenders, 15 of them are incarcerated and the remaining 55 live within the community.
According to Deputy U.S. Marshall Richard Upchurch, six of the 55 were found non-compliant and a warrant has been issued for each of their arrests.
"We've been doing it all across north Mississippi. We also did a roundup in Coahoma and Tallahatchie (counties)," said Upchurch.
Sex offenders are required to re-register every 90 days and get an identification card.
First time sex offenders are required to report to their local sheriff's department and to visit the Highway Patrol Station for their identification card.
The sheriff's department verifies addresses by making home visits.
"We have more man power, so we often come and help the sheriff's department. It usually takes between four to five hours," said Upchurch.
If a sex offender changes jobs or residences, he is required to report to their local highway patrol station within 90 days.
"It's all about communication," said Upchurch.
Previously, offenders were required to live at least 1,500 feet away from schools, but as of July 1, offenders are required to live at least 3,000 feet away.
"There are some ways that doesn't apply. If the sex offender has been living at an address and the county decides to build a school in or near that area, then the sex offender is not required to leave," said Upchurch.
"We really appreciate the U.S. Marshalls for assisting us with the sex offender verification," said Sheriff Kelvin Williams.
"In conjunction with the U.S. Marshalls, we just want to let the citizens of Bolivar County know that they are safe and that we are monitoring sex offenders.
"We will make sure that every sex offender will remain in compliance. The law is the law and we are not going to circumvent from it," said Williams.

Red and lots of it is the right shade for a steakhouse, as anyone who has made the pilgrimage to
The bar (see accompanying "Good Deal" for more) was doing its usual brisk business on a recent evening, and it took a few moments for our cocktails to make their way to table. They were worth the short wait. Mine was the classic chilled Grey Goose martini with three olives in an oversized glass, which was just what I had in mind, but Colette's citrus mojito was a work of art, with the requisite mint truly muddled, not just smooshed around in the bottom of the glass. She anointed it her new fave.
Overall, service was as smooth and unobtrusively attentive as it ought to be but often isn't in a luxe class restaurant. When I asked whether that evening's oysters (a quartet of fresh bluepoints for $8.95) was accompanied by a mignonette or the more common red horseradish sauce, the waiter was momentarily perplexed but vowed to see what he could do. When the starter arrived it was accompanied by not one but two ramekins of the minced shallot and wine vinegar sauce, whipped up on the fly by the chef just for me. Bravo!
Colette started with a steakhouse staple, a simple salad of sliced beefsteak tomatoes and bleu cheese crumbles with a bit of sweet onion thrown in for good measure ($6.95). She found the tomatoes sufficiently tomatoey to declare her first course quite satisfactory.
The wine we chose that evening, a scrumptious Newton Claret ($56), arrived a bit ahead of our steaks (What? You thought we'd order the fish?) to breathe and give us a gawking interval. We were seated in a cozy side room that accommodated just four formally set tables. The agreeable sound level is typical of the larger main dining rooms, as well, which is all to the good. I hate shouting at waiters over the hubbub, don't you? Oddly, the ceiling in our little nook hosted several horizontal pictures in ornate frames, which I'm guessing are meant as a goad to the conversation invited by the acoustics.
And now for the steaks. The list is divided into two columns, one headed Traditional and the other Specialty, plus a box to showcase "limited availability" Japanese Wagyu beef ($110 to $160, depending on portion size) for unreconstructed big spenders. We ignored the box and chose one steak from each column.
Colette went straight for the Big Wally of the traditional list, a perfectly gorgeous 22-ounce prime bone-in ribeye ($39.95). This mouthwatering wonder, served precisely medium rare with a dainty crust, completely covered its ample plate, leaving no room for a side dish. Just as well, since the sides are ordered separately from a longish list. At some places this strategy comes annoyingly close to nickel-and-diming the customer to puff up the bill, but
We chose hash browns with sour cream and caramelized onions ($7.95) and were profoundly glad we did. Two super-sized potato pancakes (we split one and took one home, along with about half the ribeye, to devour with eggs the next morning) proved to be the apotheosis of hash brownness, crisp and brown without, moist and fluffy within. We were tempted by the asparagus béarnaise, a wild mushroom sauté and the "colossal" beer-battered onion rings, but really, where would we have put them? Best to try one item each visit, unless you're feeding teenagers.
From the specialty list I chose a longstanding favorite, steak au poivre ($36.95). Hyde Park's version features a luscious 14-ounce
Were we foundered? Practically, but we soldiered on and ordered cheesecake ($7.50) for the finale. Lucky us. The high, pale-yellow wedge we shared was lighter than thistledown but full of flavor and with a texture light years distant from the gooey cream cheese stuff "cheesecake" so often turns out to be. Now that's my kind of wedge.

Thanks for the Memories
"Beautiful," I said.
"Barbs are poisonous, though," she said.
Isn't that just the way life goes?
Beyond the aquarium runs the short bar at Déjà Vu Bistro, and on the evening we visited, a couple, evidently with preferences akin to our own, was dining there despite a handful of empty tables. Other tables were full of people and all of them seemed to be in a very good mood, whether they were pondering that week's menu, the evening's specials, eating something nice, or just laughing over wine.
Good sign, as was the warm French bread that arrived at our table soon after the ice water. When a restaurant pays attention to the bread, as Déjà Vu emphatically does, it's always cause for optimism. The stock of the sparkling aperitif we ordered turned out to be down to a final glassful in a final bottle, so our waiter kindly split it for us, on the house. The hopeful signs were piling up fast.
As hinted above, the menu changes every week, and there usually are a few daily chalkboard specials, especially those that qualify as the catch of the day. Our enthusiastic waiter noted with evident pride that all fish at this cozy place in a strip mall on
From the week's starter menu Colette and I chose to share a small plate pairing meaty shrimp-accented crab cakes with lightly fried calamari ($12.95). It was a fine choice. Both the cake and the squid rings were delicious naked, but the richness of the crab was beautifully brought out by a zesty chipotle mayonnaise, while the calamari was well served by a
Entrées come with a salad before the main event, and we both chose the house salad over the Caesar, figuring it would be lighter and thus help us save room for dessert. It was. Fresh and spare greens, a few modest bleu cheese crumbles, a little sliced red onion and a judicious sprinkling of pine nuts cleared our palates nicely.
As we were finishing the salad, a female presence blew through the front door, deftly collecting an empty salad plate on the fly and turning all heads as she headed full-tilt toward the kitchen. This, our ebullient waiter noted with some small trace of awe, was co-owner Ceci Duval, whose domain is the dining room. She certainly animated the place as she table-hopped, chatting with regulars and beaming with approval at first-timers like us.
We settled down when the main course arrived. Colette had chosen from the daily specials list lightly seared, deep purple Ahi tuna prepared two ways ($31.95). The one she liked best, although both were toothsome, was served au poivre in a lively peppercorn crust asserted again by a
My choice was scallops ($25.50) from the printed weekly menu, five fleshy little white sautéed domes under a sprinkling of tomato confetti. I'm a fiend for scallops, as constant readers will know, and these stood up well, although they weren't the best I've tasted in recent memory. Still, they were very fresh and obviously selected with care by the chef.
Sides were a mixed success. The star on my plate was a wonderfully fresh and refreshing lemon-dill potato mash, the pluperfect accompaniment for shellfish. Colette's tomato risotto was thoroughly agreeable. The problem on both our plates was the veggie of the day, which proved to be that rather tired mélange of broccoli florets and julienned summer squash. I do wish this combo would retire from menus everywhere.
We finished the wine, a nicely balanced La Crema Chardonnay ($36), as our unflaggingly effervescent waiter told us about the two desserts on offer that night. One was a classic fruit tart, which tempted us, but we decided to split an order of Déjà Vu's celebrated bread pudding instead. Our invaluable waiter confided that the chef whips it from actual Danish pastries and by some alchemy turns them into an impossibly light, slightly moist, discreetly sweet little miracle served with a generous dollop of fresh whipped cream. Oh, boy! I can't think of a better way to send a guest out the door with fond memories and a vow to come back for more.

Good Deal
The bar at Hyde Park Steakhouse opens at 4 p.m. for a double-whammy happy hour that runs until 6:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. Here's the double deal: Martinis, good ones, are just four bucks a pop! If you like a nosh with your silver bullet, half a dozen offerings under the Small Plates heading on the bar menu are available for $5 each, and not only during early happy hour but also late, from 9 p.m. until closing.
My favorites are a brace of tasty little aioli-sauced sliders served with wide boardwalk fries (normally $7.95) and a rack of mini mahi tacos in cute-as-a-button wonton crisps ($8.95 outside happy hours), which are almost as good as the mini burgers. Definitely worth leaving the office early, but also good for rewarding yourself for working late.
