University officials unhappy over council action but cooperative.
Brushing aside objections from the University of St. Thomas, the St. Paul City Council approved a new ordinance Wednesday that clamps down on growth in off-campus student housing near the Summit Avenue school.
The restrictions bubbled out of ongoing skirmishes between the university and the surrounding neighborhoods that are filled with stately, historic homes.
"The colleges are an important part of our community and have been for a long time. It's just that in this neighborhood, things have gotten really out of whack; they're starting to feel like more a part of the campus," said Council Member Russ Stark, who represents a majority of the affected area.
The council adopted the change on a 5-2 vote with council members Chris Tolbert and Dan Bostrom voting no.
The ordinance requires that any new student rentals within a certain area be at least 150 feet from other rentals. Rentals are defined as one- and two-unit homes in which there are three to four students renting in each unit. Existing rentals are grandfathered in and won't be affected. Current landlords can register with the city.
The affected area generally is bounded by St. Clair, Snelling, Marshall and Fairview Avenues.
Tolbert said he represents about a quarter of the area that is in the Macalester-Groveland neighborhood. "I feel for the neighbors; nobody should get their lawn urinated on or vomited on," Tolbert said but added, "We live in a city and when you live next to a university, you will see students."
Tensions between St. Thomas and the neighbors were felt at City Hall. Council members say they received hundreds of e-mails about the ordinance change in recent days.
Doug Hennes, St. Thomas vice president for university and governmental relations, repeatedly has said St. Thomas was singled out and the city should have looked at density around other city universities. But the school won't sue.
"We will live with it and move on," he said.
Density issues around St. Thomas stretch back to 1999 when neighbors cranked up complaints about "campus sprawl." Their concerns included demolitions and expansions near the campus.
Stark has now succeeded in addressing the issue where his predecessor, Jay Benanav, failed. Benanav tried unsuccessfully to pass citywide zoning restrictions in 2003 to address neighborhood concerns.
Tolbert, who grew up half a block from St. Catherine University, said he didn't like the message the ordinance sent to students and was concerned the new limits would drive up rents. He also is concerned about enforceability.
Stark said he has "realistic expectations" for the change. The Merriam Park area has been struggling for stability and striking the right balance of occupancy levels. He believes the ordinance will stabilize those areas, but said the city will have to "take a thoughtful look over time" at what happens.
Bostrom was troubled that the change would remove competition from the rental market, but also said he understands the neighborhood concerns.
"I'd sure like to see these St. Thomas kids living on the east side. We've got a lot of rental property," he said.
Council President Kathy Lantry voted for the ordinance. "I don't know that this is going to solve it, but I know that the 1,500 things we have tried before haven't," she said.
Nearly 6,000 undergraduates enroll at St. Thomas every year. Of those, 43 percent live on campus. Of the 3,300 living off campus, roughly half live in housing near the school.
"It's a strong university and a beautiful campus in a great neighborhood," Hennes said. "We're fortunate."

American Elm Status
Name: clark Status: student Grade: N/A Location: N/A Country: N/A Date: N/A
Recently I have found several clusters of wild American Elms in western Massachusetts. How rare is this find and is there anyone in the region who may be interested in the location of these trees
American Elm stands can be found all over the central and eastern US. In my neighborhood alone we have over 30 100+ year old specimens. The reason they are here is because the neighbor treated the elms with injections periodically for about 30 years; both professionally and as a block project. We have lost a few, but the majority are still thriving. Morton Arboretum in Lisle Illinois has been studying Elms for about 50 years and have some very valuable information. Look for them on the web.
Steve Sample
American Elm is not rare in New England. Really large trees are rather uncommon due to the Dutch Elm Disease. I don't know of anyone looking for American Elm large or small.
Interesting since it is the state tree. I'll forward this to Ray Angelo at the New England Botanical Club who might be interested or may know someone who might be interested.

According to Kasandra Perkins' friend, Jovan Belcher killed Kasi after accusing her of having an affair with Trey Songz upon her return from his concert in Kansas City on Nov. 30. How sad.
Kansas City Chiefs player Jovan Belcher murdered his 22-year-old girlfriend Kasandra Perkins after reportedly assuming she was having an affair with R&B singer Trey Songz. After shooting the mother of his child dead, Jovan drove to Arrowhead stadium and killed himself in front of his coach and general manager in Kansas City on Dec. 1.
"[Kasandra] and her girlfriends went to see Trey Songz and Miguel at Midland [theatre]. It was one of her first nights out since having the baby," a friend of Kasandra's tells MediaTakeOut. According to the source, it was Jovan's jealous delusions that lead to both of their deaths, even though Kasandra never met Trey Songz.
"After the concert [the girls] went to the afterparty. She didn't do anything wrong, she wasn't with any guys, and was nowhere near Trey," the friend adds. Jovan was reportedly so upset that Kasandra didn't come home immediately.
"[Kasandra] left after getting a text from Jovan. And that's the last we saw her."
According to reports, Kasandra returned home and after Jovan accused her of having a relationship with Trey Songz, he shot and killed her.

I was sixteen when Roe v. Wade became federal law in 1973. As a naive teenager with modest life experience, I understood little about sex and relationships. As a teenager, I supported a woman's right to choose. I still do.
After Roe v. Wade in 1973, private hospitals sprung up in major cities, often near Catholic hospitals. I served as director of public relations for a private women's hospital in Florida in the 1980s. Unlike the hospital across the street founded by a religious order, the hospital offered late-term abortions as well as infertility services.
In spring 1987, I learned that I was pregnant. Our baby was due in early December, weeks before my husband would complete graduate school. Although this was unplanned, we were thrilled.
One morning at work, I started bleeding vaginally. As a hospital manager, I had access to services right away. My physician sent me to Ultrasound for a check. With new vaginal ultrasound technology, I didn't need a full bladder and fortunately didn't have to wait for the test.
The black and white ultrasound screen showed a perfectly shaped peanut-size fetus. Yet one critical detail was missing: a heartbeat. This caught me completely off guard. I had not called my husband before the test.
When I told him the news, he implored me to leave work and come home. I ignored his advice; the hospital had a special event that afternoon I didn't feel I could miss.
They were—we were hosting a press conference to introduce a couple who had successfully conceived triplet boys through In Vitro Fertilization. I was the hospital spokesperson. How could I not do my job?
The Florida IVF program was the second such program in America and attracted much media attention. A local newspaper printed a graphic of a giant test tube with a baby inside, suggesting an almost Frankenstein view of this new technology.
Staff physicians recognized the urgent need to explain the program; but their first priority was to their patients' privacy. Reluctantly, they dealt with the media through me.
Our goal was to educate the public about how in vitro works; since conception takes place in a Petri dish, even the term "test tube babies" is misleading.
That afternoon, the proud parents and the physicians talked about their experiences. The 3 six-week-old infants weren't there; instead, the press was shown several videos. One was an ultrasound test at five week's post conception. The images revealed three tiny fetuses, twins in one sack, another singleton.
Strikingly different from my own ultrasound that morning, the three little heartbeats nearly jumped off the video screen.
These dual moments within hours– viewing my own dead fetus and seeing the three little heartbeats of the triplets – still haunt me. The margin between life and death is slim.
After work, I went home and bled until I passed my own "products of conception," the medical term for fetal remains. Losing this tissue is also called a spontaneous abortion. The following day I had a D and C.
Intellectually, I know a zygote or even an early fetus cannot live outside the uterus. In three failed pregnancies, I can't say for certain what I lost. I believe in the soul, yet I'm not sure when a soul enters a body. Is there any scientific evidence that life begins at conception?
I was never comfortable in the early pregnancy loss support group community and my opinion about choice has not changed over the years. Yet emotionally, having one healthy baby made me grieve for the idea of the others. When I saw those three heartbeats on the screen in 1987, my own heart jumped with wonder.
What or who is a fetus at five weeks post-conception? I still wonder about the beginnings of life; and I have no answers only questions.My ambiguity does not change my belief in a women's right to choose in a complicated world.
I stay in the middle, not able to offer a cogent argument either way about when life begins. I'm not ready to light a candle for those I lost, although I still have questions about the time of quickening. For those who object to a woman's right to choose, I ask them to focus on hungry, impoverished, and homeless children, and adolescents in desperate need of a steady hand.

- Thanks for this, Bea...
As to the question of the soul..don't know if you saw an earlier post of mine. The question was answered --to some extent--for me ( http://open.salon.com/blog/satori1/2011/02/18/a_leap_of_faithand_proof_of_the_soulpart_3_of_3 )
Definitely food for thought!
On the entire issue, I'm too old to have strong opinions on it anymore, and too young to leave it alone. I pray someday I have the wisdom to know what is right, and give thanks that I've never had to deal with it personally.
Bless you for writing this though.
No one is pro-abortion, we just realize that in some cases it is the only answer. Saving the life of the mother needs no further explanation. I have been known to ask rabid pro-life folks how many neglected, abandoned, addicted or otherwise ill babies they have fostered or adopted. Some times they tell me and I thank them.
And on that note, I am sorry for your loss; an intentional pregnancy that goes wrong is a dream denied.
Congratulations on the EP from me as well. Rated.
The issue reminds me of a philosophy paper I read as an undergrad. I forget lots of it but one question was if you start dropping grains of sand one-by-one on a clean floor, at what stage do you have a pile?
The point was that's it's somewhat arbitrary to state that after x number of grains, hey presto there's your pile. And different people can have different opinions on when the pile comes into existence.
That is part of the reason why I think it's best to leave it to the woman contemplating an abortion. I doubt there can be any definitive moment where most people would agree that now, this is indubitably a life.
Science has a hard enough time defining "life," and I believe there will never be a responsible scientific study to determine the beginning of human life. All scientists and doctors can study is viability, and that is what is used in some legal situations as marking independent life. Viability is a useful concept, although it's slippery, too, as technology makes it possible for more and more prematurely born infants with no possibility of independent life to live in glass boxes that simulate the protection of the uterus.
I think the easiest concept to grasp is whether a woman wants to carry a pregnancy to term or not. If she does not, it's best that she terminate.

Other non-cancerous breast conditions
Some other types of less common, benign or non-cancerous tumors and conditions can also be found in the breast.
Radial scars
Radial scars, also called complex sclerosing lesions, are often found when a breast biopsy (breast tissue is removed and checked under a microscope) is done for some other purpose. Radial scars may distort the normal breast tissue.
Radial scars are not really scars, but are called such because they look like scars when seen under a microscope.
Radial scars do not usually cause symptoms, but they are important for 2 reasons. First, if they are large enough, they may look like cancer on a mammogram, or even on a biopsy. Second, they are linked to a slight increase in the woman's risk of developing breast cancer.
Women who have them may be advised to see the doctor more often than usual. Many doctors recommend removing radial scars.
Other benign lumps or tumors
Lipomas (lie-po-muhs or lip-oh-muhs) are benign fatty tumors that can appear almost anywhere in the body, including the breast. They are usually not tender.
Other benign lumps or tumors that are sometimes found in the breast include hamartomas (ham-ar-TOE-muhs), hemangiomas (he-man-jee-OH-muhs), hematomas (he-muh-TOE-muhs), adenomyoeptheliomas (ad-uh-no-my-oh-ep-ith-ee-lee-OH-muhs), and neurofibromas (nur-oh-fie-BRO-muhs).
None of these conditions raises breast cancer risk, but they may need to be biopsied or removed to know what they are.

Phoenix Suns
Gentry: 'The key word is going to be patience'
Four years into his NBA career, Michael Beasley is not where he expected to be. After being drafted second overall in 2008 behind former MVP Derrick Rose, Beasley was seen as a can't miss prospect with fantastic offensive skills. Since then, he has encountered trouble with the law, seen his name in constant trade talks and feuded with almost every coach he's had.
After signing a three-year, $18 million contract with the Phoenix Suns in the offseason, many believed Beasley would finally live up to the potential they saw five years ago. With so much talent at their disposal, the Suns offense was expected to lean heavily on Beasley to carry the team.
A successful preseason only added to the hype and expectation. But since the regular season opener, inconsistent play and poor shot selection have Suns fans questioning whether Beasley is really the playmaker they thought he was.
Suns head coach Alvin Gentry spoke with Arizona Sports 620's Burns and Gambo to give his take on Beasley's inconsistency this early in the season.
"He's still on a learning curve. We're asking him to do something no other team he's ever played on has asked him to do," said Gentry. "We have to keep working with him as coaches and player development and try putting him in a situation where he can be successful and I think we've got to keep communicating to him exactly what we want and what our expectations are of him. We didn't anticipate this happening four games into the season. I think we've just got to continue to work with him, show him tape and talk to him to try and get him in the position where he can be successful."
When asked if he believed Beasley could live up to the hype he had surrounding him out of college and be the Suns go to scorer, Gentry said it's too early in the season to tell.
"We don't know that. We won't know that until we exhaust all avenues and we will exhaust all avenues before we come to that conclusion," said Gentry. "The key word for us is going to be patience. We've got to be patient. We will continue to work as a coaching staff to look at all avenues and all angles and everything we possibly can from a personnel standpoint."
Gentry went on to say if the Suns hope to compete in a stacked Western Conference, Beasley needs to become more involved on the court.
"Obviously I think he's a very talented player but I still think if there's some kind of way for us to have a really good year, he's got to be really involved in what we're doing," said Gentry. "I don't know if that's the leading scorer but he has to have a hand in what we're doing from the standpoint of effectiveness and just the overall situation of being a facilitator if we need him to do that."

Jordan-X is a stage persona created in 2006 on a late night of insomnia. This page is for the upcoming release of the album entitled "Project-X". I have been working hard on creating new ideas musically, fashionably, and artistically. I want the pop world to be opened up to something fresh and new. Jordan-X is a character that has a story.
Created by the government under an organization called UIWA (Underground Illegal World Affairs) Jordan, a small town musician, was targeted by this organization, killed by the agency, had all records of his existence wiped, and had his body genetically altered and used as a shell to be the "perfect performer" so that the government can make illegal money off the media to fund projects for warfare and other military projects. Jordan-X was the tenth project that went haywire. He escaped from the testing labs in sector 17 and is bound and determined to uncover the plans of the illegal testing center and organization, find out what and who he is, and accidentally becomes famous in the process. He lives a life of fame, fortune and being on the run from cohorts of the organization known as UIWA. UIWA has labeled his case as Project-X and has been in search for him ever since his escape.

I'm pleased that some people found this worked for them, but for me this was a disaster! I was sold on the natural ingredients and claim to 'regulate oil production'. Out of the tube, it smelt herby and seemed a fresh a light gel texture. On the skin it completely refused to absorb and remained a horried sticky, tacky film on my skin. It made my skin just look so awful with and without makeup over the top, and as a result, I only used this for three days. Not the most expensive disappointment I've suffered (Yon-Ka, why!), but a disappointment all the same.

This is HG for me.I have tried so many that claimed to be for my skintype,only to breakout worse than before.This is the first one I have tried that does not break me out.It helps my makeup go on smooth and look nice.My skin feels comfortable and happy.I am old enough to no longer belive in miracles.This is not going to transform my problem skin.But it doesnt make it worse.And that says alot!
This product was horrible....The worst I have ever used.... I applied it before bed and in the morning woke up with new spots!!! Waste of money.
I agree with the other users that it didn't do anything special but I haven't broken out since I started using it and it also goes on well under makeup. It did seem to even out my skin tone as well, I want to try out the other Korres products but I might consider repurchasing for a nice light weight moisturizer that doesn't irritate my skin at all.
EDIT: I ended up getting small little bumps around my chin and broke out on my cheeks which NEVER happens to me. I stopped using this immediately after and now too much is used to return it, I may just have to throw it away.
This product was okay and i had high hopes for it because it said ithelped control the oil producing cerebelum to produce less but that did not happen. It did moisturize but it was nothing special and it was really sticky
I would have to agree with the other revierers that this product is nothing special. It also has a medicine like smell. However I gave it a decent rating because it didn't make me break out and it didn't make my t-zone greasy. Compared to other moisturizers I have used this one goes on well under my makeup and I don't have to re-apply powder after a only few hours.

More reviews by alisha_the_kitten
I honestly wasn't that impressed with this moisturizer. The reviews on Sephora.com were almost all positive, so I had high hopes for this one.
The packaging for this product states that it is a "non-oily, light moisturizing cream-gel for oily skin with imperfections." While I don't think this this stuff is heavily moisturizing to the skin itself, it seems a little bit oily in feel to me and seems a bit greasy on my face. My face looks somewhat shiny after I apply this, and seems to get really oily all over after only a few hours. This moisturizer also contains two oils in the ingredients -- soybean oil and sunflower seed oil. So with all that considered, I'm not sure why the company goes out of their way to state that this product is non-oily. I should probably explain that my current acne serum (MD Formulations Vit-A-Plus Clearing Complex) is alcohol-based and very drying, so that might be an extra reason why my skin might be producing extra oil right now. Either way though, I don't think this moisturizer is helping matters any.
Sometimes when my skin got a dry patch or sensitive blemish, this moisturizer seemed to sting a little. I'm not sure what ingredient(s) in here could be causing that -- maybe the cinnamon or mandarin orange extract. But considering that my skin is very reactive sometimes, I don't think this product works very well for me.
As I've said, the texture seemed a little oily to me. It was fine other than that, though. I would probably hate this in the summer when the humidity comes back. It also doesn't seem moisturizing enough for the dry winters here either. It doesn't smell very nice, but I guess that's not a very big deal. While I didn't notice a reduction of breakouts, I don't think it broke me out any more than usual.
The packaging is nice and professional looking. The metal tube is sanitary and easy to use. I also like how the company includes an expiration date on the packaging. I do have a problem with the price (per ounce), however. The size of the tube isn't very big (1.35 fl oz) and it didn't take me very long to use it up. So I was very disappointed that a non-cheap moisturizer didn't last very long at all.

This come along with the kit for imperfections. There was nothing special about it. It didn't make my skin any smoother or clearer. My skin seemed to be a lot oiler then normal. I wouldn't buy again.

I've spent the evening feeling irrationally listless and sensitive and it's pissing me off. I'd really like to get some guys' clothes but I can't realistically afford the prices of ordering off the internet, plus shipping to Canada, and I'm paranoid about sizing. that being said, I can't exactly ask my mum or my friends to go with me and look at guys' clothes (I've only one friend that I'd ask to go shopping with anyway, and she's sort of transphobic) and if I went on my own I'd have to ask the sales people and that would be equally if not more awkward, and even if I got past that awkward turtle hurtle, they'll likely say anything looks good even if it doesn't in order to make a sale. I don't know. If I ask my mum or friends really, they'll start assuming all sorts of things or think it a joke, because I do wear a lot of dresses because they're far more interesting than jeans and such and in the summer they're cooler. But I'd also like to own some nice guys' stuff, especially vintage shirts and some jeans for when fall starts and before I go off to England. I figure if there's anywhere I can present more genderqueer it'll be there, as no one will know me other than one guy from my school who I met at the orientation and one girl who I'm online acquaintances with and who saw me at a con but with whom I've never had real life interactions. that being said, it's not even as if I know if I'm "passing" (am quite happy to look rather androgynous or boyish or like a girlish boy, I'm certainly not going for manly mcboyface here) in the first place. I've done as much as I know to do, straight leg jeans, binder, men's or unisex loose shirt, hair tucked under my hoodie, running shoes, gotten rid of that hair up the sides of my face (is there a word for that?), but it's not as if I can look in a mirror and tell if it's doing anything. For all I know the binder doesn't do enough even under loose shirts and hoodies or my face is just the girliest thing ever created and if I tried to explain all of this to a friend they'd just laugh at me because I'd just look ridiculous in men's' clothes... or... JFC, I can't even believe I'm typing this out. Hello, have a pagefull of my shameful insecurities.
And I finally agreed to go to the on-campus lgbtq group with my roommate (because Lord knows I'm not meeting anyone new at the other queer groups I'm a part of) and he's all unenthused because I'm not his almost-boyfriend and he wanted to go with him even though he volunteers at the times when the meetings happen. Not like my roommate's been bothering me to go with him for almost a year or anything.
If you were wondering, beets take a fucking long time to cook.
More book not-quite-reviews (I found better books about transfolk!) when I'm not all... whatever this is. Mrrgghh.
Guys' clothes are easy. As long as you've got money and a way to get to the shop, you really don't need anyone with you to shop for guys' clothes. Just go and try some stuff on and look in the mirror in the dressing room. I'm sure no one will think it's weird, either - plenty of girls dress like guys occasionally, some more than occasionally, even girls that are totally straight. Just... experiment. It'll be fine.
Ahaha, unfortunately I'm pretty much completely blind --I can tell if someone's turned on a light, or if there's a wall in front of me-- so if I were to go to the shops on my own asking someone where the guy's stuff is located would have to happen, plus having someone to help with what colour or patern things are. I can pick out things I like no problem, but that does me no good without someone to describe the colour or patern or whatever. And looking in the mirror is out, natch. Eh, perhaps one day I'll have a tad more self-confidence interacting with strangers. Thanks for the comment nonetheless :)
I've got a text-to-speech screenreading programme on my computer. And as for typing, I've just been doing it forever... I can't really remember not being able to type seventy words a minute or faster. Lots of sighted people can touch type as well. There's also braille, natch, but that's a fucktone of paper and production time and really not worth it outside of language courses and elevator buttons. :D

Stay Safe This Weekend: Thunderstorms and High Surf Conditions Expected July 3, 20142:30 PM On this Independence Day Eve, National Weather Service offices in Gray and Caribou have advised emergency management officials of the potential for hazardous weather events from Thursday into the holiday weekend. Severe thunderstormsPotentially severe thundershowers will pass through Maine this afternoon and evening. One round of storms caused severe damage in the Rumford area Wednesday, washing out roads and bringing down trees and power lines. Similar storms can be expected Thursday afternoon and evening. If you are in an area being hit by a severe storm:
Effects of Hurricane ArthurCoastal areas will see some effects this weekend from Hurricane Arthur as it passes well offshore. Effects will be in the form of some steady rain Friday and Saturday (higher amounts in downeast areas), heightened wave action and wave power and the possibility of rip currents. Powerful large waves can sweep an individual into turbulent and dangerous waters. Rip currents can take swimmers out to sea very quickly.
As today's storm potential and the hurricane's track are still developing, all interests are urged to pay close attention to weather forecasts throughout the weekend. Conditions will differ depending on your location. New information with each forecast cycle will help you in making decisions about your weekend activities. Some areas may postpone fireworks displays on Friday. Be sure to check with the community before heading out. Have a happy and safe Independence DayMEMA joins the National Weather Service in urging all residents and visitors to respect the power of the severe storms that are likely today, and the high surf and currents that are likely this weekend.

[Windows 8] How to add a Control Panel shortcut or tile to the Start screen
Posted By Tu Nguyen On January 18, 2013 @ 10:01 PM In Windows | 5 Comments
By creating the Start screen, Microsoft wants it to become the place where you to go start everything. However, this is kind of hard with Control Panel because it has no tile on the Start screen. As you already known, there are other ways to open Control Panel in Windows 8 – using the Charm bar, accessing by the Administrative menu, and using traditional ways. However, if you want to be able to open Control Panel from Start screen, you have come to the start place. In this article, I will show how to open Control Panel in Windows 8 from the Start screen — by adding a tile on Start screen.
Basically, we will create a shortcut of Control Panel that can be pinned anywhere in the Start screen. To do that, do the following:

"We knew coming that we are banged up," Sylacauga head coach Matt Griffith said." We are hurt and it has limited us offensively. We knew Talladega was very much improved defensively. This is the biggest, fastest team that I have seen them have in a long time. We had our hands full tonight. We knew it would come down to special teams, who played really well defensively and who makes less mistakes."
Offense was at a minimum as both teams struggled to move the ball at times.
The Tigers (3-5, 2-4) got on the board first in the first quarter.
After a short punt, Talladega took over at the Sylacauga 48-yard line. Brandon Wilson went around right end and sprinted 26-yards into the end zone for a touchdown. Sylacauga's Dexter Averiette blocked the PAT attempt.
Both teams were able to drive into their opponents' territory, but their drives would falter.
Sylacauga was able to get down to the Talladega 43-yard line, but TJ Smith was tackled for a loss on fourth and 2, which forced the Aggies to turn the ball over on downs.
Sylacauga welcomed back their leading rusher Ian Floyds, who saw limited action as he tries to work his way back from a high ankle sprain. The senior showed signs of getting healthy, as he was able to carry the Aggies down the field for a touchdown. Floyd rushed for 24 of the 46 yards on the drive, which included a 15-yard run down to the Talladega 5. Hunter Johns scored a few plays later on a keeper from 2 yards out. The PAT was good to give Sylacauga a 7-6 lead with 2:56 left in the half.
The Tigers looked like they were going to drive down the field and put points on the board in the second quarter. Talladega got down to the Aggies 33-yard line, but Zach Spratlin threw his second interception of the game to Andrew Robertson.
"It was a hard fought game and it is a shame that somebody had to lose," Talladega head coach Chris Mahand said. "We fell a little short tonight. I am proud of my boys, they fought hard and it is a shame someone had to lose tonight.
Both teams' defenses stiffened in a scoreless third quarter.
In the fourth quarter, special teams and defensive plays was the difference for the Aggies.
A penalty-plagued possession forced the Tigers to punt from the Sylacauga 9-yard line. TJ Green muffed the punt as he attempted to go toward the right, behind a blocker. The senior regained control of the ball and took down the left sideline with a wall of black jerseys leading the way for a 49-yard touchdown. The PAT was good to give the Aggies a 14-6 advantage.
"I knew after I made a mistake I had to make up for it and the best way to do that is with a touchdown," Green said.
In addition to his punt return touchdown, Green recorded an interception and pass deflection on a halfback pass.
"This is just what my team expects me to do as a leader," Green said." I knew we needed a big play and I had to come out here and make them."
On the ensuing kickoff, Wilson returned the football 35 yards down the left sideline to Sylacauga 25-yard line. On the first play of the drive, Wilson ran for 15 yards to set first and goal from the 10-yard line. On second and goal, Spratlin went back to pass, but he was hit as he rolled to his left by Austin Masters which caused him to fumble. The Aggies recovered the football.
"Thank goodness our defense continues to play well," Griffith said. "I tell you what we played well in spots offensively. In the last three weeks we haven't put a complete game together offensively. When you face a county rival and they always play us really hard — we will take a 20-6 win any day."
Hunter Johns sealed the Aggies victory late in the game with a 1 yard touchdown run to give the Aggies a 20-6 lead.
The Aggies travel to take on Shelby County next Friday, while the Tigers travel to take on Homewood.

The conserved heterodimeric endonuclease Mus81-Eme1/Mms4 plays an important role in the maintenance of genomic integrity in eukaryotic cells. Here, we show that budding yeast Mus81-Mms4 is strictly regulated during the mitotic cell cycle by Cdc28 (CDK)- and Cdc5 (Polo-like kinase)-dependent phosphorylation of the non-catalytic subunit Mms4. The phosphorylation of this protein occurs only after bulk DNA synthesis and before chromosome segregation, and is absolutely necessary for the function of the Mus81-Mms4 complex. Consistently, a phosphorylation-defective mms4 mutant shows highly reduced nuclease activity and increases the sensitivity of cells lacking the RecQ-helicase Sgs1 to various agents that cause DNA damage or replicative stress. The mode of regulation of Mus81-Mms4 restricts its activity to a short period of the cell cycle, thus preventing its function during chromosome replication and the negative consequences for genome stability derived from its nucleolytic action. Yet, the controlled Mus81-Mms4 activity provides a safeguard mechanism to resolve DNA intermediates that may remain after replication and require processing before mitosis.

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable. All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

Sorry to hear this. Its hard losing an old friend.
You did a kind act, a difficult one but necessary. I extend my sincere sympathy to you. A dog is a true and loyal friend.
I am so sorry for your loss.
It is never easy to let them go but you did the right thing sir.

The Rainbow Bridge
inspired by a Norse legend
By the edge of a woods, at the foot of a hill,
Is a lush, green meadow where time stands still.
Where the friends of man and woman do run,
When their time on earth is over and done.
For here, between this world and the next,
Is a place where each beloved creature finds rest.
On this golden land, they wait and they play,
Till the Rainbow Bridge they cross over one day.
No more do they suffer, in pain or in sadness,
For here they are whole, their lives filled with gladness.
Their limbs are restored, their health renewed,
Their bodies have healed, with strength imbued.
They romp through the grass, without even a care,
Until one day they start, and sniff at the air.
All ears ***** forward, eyes dart front and back,
Then all of a sudden, one breaks from the pack.
For just at that instant, their eyes have met;
Together again, both person and pet.
So they run to each other, these friends from long past,
The time of their parting is over at last.
The sadness they felt while they were apart,
Has turned into joy once more in each heart.
They embrace with a love that will last forever,
And then, side-by-side, they cross over together.

Uber to offer ice cream trucks on-demand in Denver on Friday
Posted By Andy Vuong On July 18, 2013 @ 11:05 am In General | 1 Comment
As a Denver judge takes his time [1] updating rules that could impact Uber's business in Colorado, the tech upstart continues to operate in the Mile High City and pump out new partnerships.
On Friday, as part of a global promotion [2], the e-hailing app maker will allow Denver consumers to virtually flag down an ice cream truck on-demand with the Uber smartphone program.
The service will run from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. In Denver, hailing a truck will cost $25, which includes 5 servings of Good Humor treats from the Ice Cream Wagon [3]. No cash is required as the $25 will be charged to the credit card that's on file with Uber.
With a high of 81 degrees in the forecast, Uber Denver [4] general manager Will McCollum expects demand for ice cream trucks to be "very high" with limited availability.
"It may take multiple tries to find an available truck," he said. "Please be patient. We'll be working all day to deliver as much ice cream as possible."
Uber Ice Cream [5] will be running in 33 cities and 11 countries on Friday. These types of partnerships are not new for Uber, which regularly teams with businesses on special-event promotions, such as including flowers on Valentine's Day rides.
Meanwhile, Administrative Law Judge Harris Adams had been expected to issue recommendations on updated transportation rules by June. The new rules could force Uber to change the way it operates in Colorado. Taxi companies have argued that Uber has an unfair advantage because it offers a taxi-like service without facing the same regulations.
Uber has countered that it is merely connecting riders with licensed limo companies, acting as a transportation broker, a service that isn't regulated by the state.
After Adams issues his recommended rule changes, the three-member Colorado Public Utilities Commission would decide whether to adopt them.

Tenaska Power Plant
In the next few weeks the Illinois General Assembly will be debating (and very likely deciding) a topic that is of paramount importance to all Illinois businesses. At issue is whether to green-light the construction of a power plant in Taylorville, Illinois, proposed by Omaha-based Tenaska, Inc.
Normally, a decision by a private investor to build a power plant doesn't require legislative approval. But in this case, Tenaska has said it won't build the plant unless a state law is enacted that requires Illinois consumers to buy the plant's power-at above market prices-for the next 30 years. The ICC calculated that this would mean an annual average of $286 million in over-market subsidies from electricity customers. Over 30 years, this totals $8.6 billion in higher electricity rates.
But why is this specifically important to businesses? It's because the proposal calls for a two percent annual cap on rate increases for residential consumers. That cap means that commercial consumers of electricity will bear most of the burden for paying these above-market prices. How does Tenaska justify this apparent inequity of burden? They essentially argue that commercial customers don't pay enough in electricity costs right now.
Higher electric rates will not only increase your cost of doing business, but will have a cascading effect on the economy. While Tenaska's own estimate is that the plant will create about 2,500 temporary construction jobs and "hundreds" of permanent jobs (almost all of them in Taylorville), an independent analysis applying common sense economic metrics shows that $286 million per year electric cost subsidy will kill anywhere from 15,000 to 30,000 jobs*. State lawmakers need to ask themselves if this is a jobs program that actually costs jobs.
We encourage private investment in our state. But we object to a mandate to buy a company's product, for 30 years, at above-market costs, and with all the risk shifted on business consumers instead of to the plant's investors.
The time is now to make your voice heard on the Tenaska/Taylorville Energy Center project.
Please visit www.stopcoalition.com. In just a couple of minutes you can send a message to your legislators telling them that you are against these mandated, above-market electricity costs. There is a template letter for your use, but we encourage you to include information regarding the company you represent and how many people your company employs.
The ICC report is available at http://www.icc.illinois.gov/electricity/tenaska.aspx (Click on "TEC Report.") If you have specific questions on this issue, please contact Dean Nicol, Integrys Energy's Director of Regional Sales - Illinois, at 312-681-1814 or email@example.com.
Thank you for your business and for your attention to this important issue!
Integrys Energy Services
*These job loss estimates represent the difference between what Illinois jobs would be without the TEC plant and what they would be with the Illinois plant, on average, over a 30-year period. The job losses will occur because businesses will take electricity costs into account when contemplating whether to locate operations in Illinois or someplace else, or whether to schedule production or service at Illinois locations or at their locations elsewhere."

Goals and the New (Half) Year
Posted By Jessica Fisher On July 13, 2011 @ 1:01 am In Big Dreams,Joyful Womanhood | 14 Comments
Remember when we set some goals for the year [4]? Way back in the wintry days of December and January…. Last week I mentioned that halfway through something [5] is a good time to assess progress made and determine what's left to do, enjoy, or accomplish. Over the last couple weeks, I've spent time looking back on some of those goals that I made so many months ago. Here's why I'm at:
Write a cookbook [6] – This is going to consume the next 6 months in earnest. Pray for me!
While The Book is not "done-done" (it has the editing process to go through), the manuscript is complete. Amazing! That, obviously, was a huge thing to cross off the list. Thank you for praying for me! It was a pretty crazy six months. I ended up creating over 120 new recipes and trying some new freezer cooking techniques that will really help me out in the kitchen. That last week of fine tuning the manuscript was a crazy one, very, very much like having a baby. At least for me. As hubs describes it, when I went into labor each time, I entered The Zone, where I was very focused on the event at hand and blocked out all distractions. That's when he runs interference with the kids, takes care of meals, mans the battle stations. And there were about three days that week when I was clearly in The Zone. While not as exciting as adding a member to the family, it was a very big deal to, well, write a book! Above is the stack of manuscript pages that I printed out prior to my last edits. Huge monster stack of paper! In many ways it is a dream come true. I wanted to be a writer when I was very young, but gave that up as teenage boys eventually give up their dreams to rock stars or professional athletes. I now believe that even the craziest dream can happen.
Read good books – Stay tuned for news later this week about our Booking It reading program. I am really excited about it!
If not for you all keeping me Booking It [7], I don't know that I would have made the time to read. Accountability has served me well. That, and my Kindle. So, thanks! I've read some great books so far this year. Here are those that I've reviewed so far in case you're looking for a good read:
When I compiled my list, I was stunned that I had read so many books. I didn't know it was possible. But, allowing myself that 30 minutes to read everyday has really made a huge difference. On my plate this month are The Help [19] and The Bible (in 90 Days) [20].
Manage my time better – I've fallen back into the bad habit of attempting too many things at one time. I need to take a step back and focus better.
I was on a roll for awhile with my time budget [21], but in the last month, my time management has been in survival mode [22]. I am looking forward to finding a new normal this month. As a family, we're adding a few new activities, like daily trips to the pool and some sports for the older boys. So, I'm in dire need of readjusting my time budget. More on that later.
Get healthy – I'm long overdue for a physical, and I definitely need to get back to exercising and eating well. I get winded easily and want to make sure that it's just laziness and not an underlying problem.
I got my moles checked in May, and one was removed. The biopsy was normal. I have a physical scheduled for August. And I've been getting to bed by 10 most nights, which is great. The extra sleep and conscious efforts at relaxing are resulting in feeling better physically. I'm also trying to figure out an exercise plan that fits me, ie one that I actually enjoy. The pool doesn't really count since I'm watching the little ones instead of swimming, so don't be too impressed.
Enjoy more down-time with my husband and kids – I want more personal connections with each member of my household, more conversations, more fun [23], more un-plugging.
Obviously, this is an ongoing goal. We went away for the holiday weekend which was great! And are looking toward planning more family travel. In fact, hubs and I were talking recently about how life would be different if we'd had fewer kids. We both concluded that we would have traveled more.
And in the next breath, we both said, "Let's not let our family size get in the way of that." Surely, there's more to pack and more people to keep track of, but I don't want our number to be a discouragement to who we are or who we want to be.
So, we're looking over the United States map and making notes of the places that we'd like to visit, many or most of them national parks and natural landmarks. We're even considering, gulp, several long road trips over the next four or five years, to the Southwest, New England/Montreal, the Pacific Northwest, and the Virginia/DC area.
Hold on to your hats, campers!
Do something with our photos – The girls don't have baby books and most of our framed photos are sitting in boxes. We all enjoy looking at photos, so I want to do something to make that happen.
I can't say that much of this has changed, though I did print and frame some pictures earlier in the year. They have yet to be hanged. But, that's on my list for this next couple months. Get the pictures on the walls. Still haven't tackled the photo albums [24], though I know my kids would love it if I did.
Dejunk and reorganize – We're due for a huge simplification process around here. You all inspired me in the comments of this post [25] to downsize, so before Christmas I filled the minivan with discards. And I'm afraid I've only scratched the surface.
Oh, yes, this one is always one that I feel pretty intensely in the summertime when I have a chance to catch my breath and notice all our junk. I'm thinking that a cupboard or drawer a day might be the way to go. Our neighborhood is having a garage sale later this month, so that may be good impetus to let go of some things.
Save for the Big Kahuna [26] – We don't know what TBK is at this moment, but we know that we have room to save, so we're going to try.
We are still saving as much money as we can. We don't really have a name for it, though. I think once we name it, we'll feel more motivated to save more. That's my theory, anyway.
We recently sponsored a second child through Compassion [27] and are looking toward increasing our giving over the remainder of the year.
Enjoy the freedom of our frugality [28] – Our trips to Monterey and Mammoth were so fun, it was definitely worth it to eat bean and rice dinners to be able to pull it off. Having enjoyed such a nice vacation encourages me to keep scrimping so our family can enjoy some more adventures.
We are definitely doing this. While we haven't taken too many trips, we've enjoyed little extras. Being debt free really is all it's cracked up to be. So keep plugging away at your debt. It will be worth it!
It's never too late to map out a course for your life. Print out this planning page [29] if you are looking for someplace to fill in the blanks and start dreaming some big dreams. Nothing is too crazy.

If you were one of the thousands who attended the services today at Fort Hood, Texas, you heard first-hand President Obama vowing that justice would be done in the attack that left 13 dead and 42 wounded.

"Their life's work is our security and the freedom that we too often take for granted.

I loved this pattern - very easy to do and put together. However, instead of doing hdc stitches, I used dc stitches and ended up with a very huge bag. When my new grandson was born, I used this pattern to make a baby bag, along with baby blanket for his crib - the bag ended up big enough to hold the blanket. My daughter absolutely loves it!
I also use this bag when I go the the Dr.'s office or other places that I have to wait any amount of time. I put my crocheting in it, or other project that I am working on. This bag really comes in handy! Thanks so much for all your great projects.

So here's the conversation I had with mexican jumping bain and butter bain last night on the trampoline.
MJB: "what the heck?!"
ME: You can't say "what the heck" it's really not appropriate.
MJB: Can I say "what the..."
ME: No...you can say nothing that starts with "what" unless it's an ACTUAL question
MJB: Can I say golly? (Which, with his lisp is more like goll-weeeee)
ME: Of course, golly is fine.
MJB: What about dagnabit?
ME: yeah, that's okay too.
At this point 2yrold butter bain wants in on the conversation and cuts to the chase with the following:
BB: Can I say damn, mom?
ME: No you cannot say damn.
BB: Why not?
ME: Because it's a bad word for 2 years olds.
BB: Can I say dadgummit?
ME: Of course you can.
So from here on out the only expletives allowed will be the previously established oh my word! In addition we now have, golly, dagnabit and dadgumit.
I have a feeling we may be having further almost-cursing-rule-conversations, but we've got a few to choose from for the time being.
Do I count this as a mom-victory?

It is an unfortunate reality that some insurance companies are only interested in making a profit.

I actually use the 8604A - Creamy Beige color.
I LOVE this stuff because it matches my skin tone perfectly without having that ashy cast that most powders give.
I love the price (about $5) and have been using it for years. I use this as a foundation and because it has buildable coverage, I dont need any concealer.
I never use the brush it comes packaged with. I use my own big fluffy brush.
I love that its gives me a flawless and natural look without looking too made up. Its not heavy at all, so I wear it daily. Especially in the Summer.
The only thing I hate it that its hard to find. Walgreens and CVS carries this but it depends on the neighborhood. Because it caters to African-Americans, you might not find this in all stores.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I am a Sam Fine and Reggie Wells fan. After reading articles with their recommendations decided to try this a few Black Radiance products. So I went to Rite-Aid, because of the return policy, and chose a few things to try out for my winter dry/flakey face.
Tawny Beige is the same shade as Iman p/p Clay Medium-Dark(original version); medium brown with yellow & red undertones. Same shade as my face(NW45 or Iman Clay6). Dust a little over BenNye Neutral Set so won't look white.
***** Update 1/27/07 ***** Got Iman p/p in Clay Medium Dark(drugstore version) from ULTA. The it is by far the most beautiful powder. Has more of a deep golden undertone. Tawny Beige is a decent product. But Iman p/p is my new HG powder.
