The situation in Tallahassee will affect more than a Heisman and National Championship chase. Jameis Winston's life and reputation are on the line. In the aftermath of an ESPN report that states that Winston's DNA was found on the alleged victims panties, Winston's lawyer, Tim Jansen, addressed the matter according to AL.com. When asked by a reporter today if the sex between Winston and the accuser was consensual. "Absolutely," Jansen said. Jansen also criticized both the Tallahassee Police Department and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement for what he said would be an illegal leak of the results of the DNA analysis to the media while adding he wasn't surprised by what was reported by ESPN. "I don't think it's a secret what the defense is when I tell you that we are not surprised his DNA was found," Jansen said. "We anticipated it would be found. We never, ever said he wasn't there." Jansen then backtracked somewhat on the consensual part. "I'm not saying that. But I'm saying that the eyewitnesses who were there will verify that any material that was found or any evidence that was found is consistent with him doing nothing wrong." Jansen then questioned the relationship between the States Attorney's office, and ESPN. "All I know is it's very suspicious that the only news reporting agency that (State Attorney) Willie Meggs met privately with yesterday in his office was the one that reported that last night on television and that would be ESPN."

Characteristics of laser diodes for interferometric use
Applied Optics, Vol. 28, Issue 17, pp. 3657-3661 (1989)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (524 KB)
Low-coherence-length light from laser diode sources has applications in extending the useful range of interferometric fiber optic sensors. The characteristics of two commercial low-coherence laser diodes were investigated and compared with theoretical models to determine the operational characteristics of the devices. Reasonable trends in the comparison were seen.

Last Game
The Reds won a real nail-biter against the Phillies last night. Every inning either team scored changed the lead. Homer Bailey had a real strong outing against an offense that had its way with the pitching the night before, and it was a Zack Cozart homer in the top of the ninth that put the team over the top.
This was a fun one to watch, and it sure is nice not to have to worry about being swept in a 4-game series anymore. Final score: Reds 5, Phillies … [visit site to read more]

Understanding Cervical Cancer -- Symptoms
In the early stages, cervical precancers or cervical cancers cause no pain or other symptoms. That's why it's vital for women to get regular pelvic exams and Pap tests to detect cancer in its earliest stage when it's treatable. The first identifiable symptoms of cervical cancer are likely to include: Abnormal vaginal bleeding, such as after intercourse, between menstrual periods, or after menopause; menstrual periods may be heavier and last longer than normal. Pain during intercourse. ...

This old, abandoned farmhouse with gingerbread trim outside of Pardeeville, Wisconsin, caught my eye everytime I passed it. I finally took some pictures of it for this painting and hope I captured the feeling of loneliness and long ago memories.
Thank you for stopping by my gallery! I am currently residing in Arizona and have previously exhibited in galleries in Arizona and Wisconsin. Having lived in both states, it has given me very diverse subject matter as is evident in the variety of art pieces I have posted here. I also have appeared in several art shows in both states and received various awards, including the Wisconsin Regional Art Show Travelling Exhibit Award for my watercolor 'Spring In Tlaquepaque'. While working for the Dean Medical Center in Madison, WI, I completed several commission pieces to be displayed in their clinics ('Comin' Home', 'The Catch', 'Little Mill', and Christine's Ride'). I also created their employee birthday card for several years in a row. I hope you will enjoy viewing my artwork. Just click on each gallery to view the art in that category, then click on any image to enlarge it.

Judges volleyball aces Louisa, 3-0
Posted: November 6, 2013
Special to The Winchester Star
WINCHESTER — Poor Louisa County.
A miscalculation of how long the trip to Handley for Tuesday night's Conference 23 semifinal volleyball match left the Lions late and hustling to get ready after they arrived in Maddex-Omps Gymnasium at 5:55 p.m. — five minutes before play was supposed to begin.
Once things started, there was the catcalls from one very loud student in Handley's "Loud Crowd" section. With a megaphone in hand, the student would bellow "Ace!" every time Judges senior Allie Hoffman would release her jump serve.
As Hoffman continued to pepper Louisa's back row with ace after ace, the same student would occasionally throw in, "I'm in your heads, Louisa!"
This was how it went for the Lions through the early stages, and Hoffman dropped nine aces to open the match on a 15-0 run. The Judges won the first set at 3, and though Louisa put up a better fight over the next two sets, Handley won those two (at 18 and 17) as well to gain a 3-0 (25-3, 25-18, 25-17) sweep and clinch a trip back to the regional playoffs — this time in 4A North — next week.
"Coming in, definitely, I always look at coach [Lindsay Cole] for spots," said Hoffman, who had a 12-point service run earlier this season in a win over Skyline. "And that's a big thing, because if you find an open spot and you serve to it, almost always you can get an ace or something.
"Also once you find [an opponent] and can get in their head a little bit, it's something you can definitely use to your advantage and get them in a little funk."
Cole knew a little something about her opponent, having faced Louisa in both a scrimmage and Conference 23 jamboree last month at Harrisonburg where all six teams competed.
That familiarity certainly helped, and the Judges (10-7) made few mistakes — in fact, they did not have an attack error (finishing with just three) until the third set — and held off the only serious threat they received from the Lions by closing out the second set strong and moving ahead 2-0 in the match.
"I think, definitely, Allie set the tone with her serve," said Cole, who got the Judges within a win of the state playoffs last season before falling to eventual state champion Loudoun County in the old Region II semifinals. "Consistently rolling off 15 points in that first set, I think that just pumped everyone up with the intensity.
"Carrying that over to the second set we were maybe a little overconfident, but we were able to come away with [a set-win]. Louisa kind of got a little scrappier on defense. But overall, when we were able to get the offense set, we were able to score points on their defense."
The Lions got all three of their points in the first set off missed serves by the Judges, and Louisa (9-11) did not register its first kill until senior Julie Musser got one for the Lions' first point of the second set.
That exchange was followed by an ace from senior Heather Treynor for a 2-1 lead. It would be the only time in the match that the Lions would hold a lead, but they did continue to compete well in the second set.
After Treynor's ace, the Judges rolled off a 7-0 run, which was triggered by two aces from senior Liz Grove and two kills from senior Rachel Dodson, for an 8-2 lead.
A series of attack errors by the Lions allowed the Judges to keep building their lead, and after junior Emily Snow hit through the Louisa block for a kill, Handley had a 20-11 lead.
The Lions, who would start to find a better flow and produce 10 kills in the second set after having none in their lopsided first-set loss, then scored four straight, getting kills from junior Jill Elkins and Treynor, an ace down the line from senior Katrina Williams, and a kill to the back row from sophomore Rebecca Bookman to cut the Judges' lead to 20-15 and force Cole to use a timeout.
As it turned out, it would be the only time Cole needed one in the match.
Out of the break, Williams sent her next serve long and the Lions followed that with an attack error to allow Handley to get its lead back to seven.
Handley senior Semefa Tettegah then had a crucial kill, and Louisa called for timeout. The Lions got it back to five late, but Grove nailed consecutive kills to clinch the set.
"We just needed to realize that we needed to finish it and there was no doubt that we would," Hoffman said. "We just had to come out strong. I think we came out a little too complacent, so we needed to step up and show them what Handley volleyball is all about."
The Judges had 11 kills as a team without an attack error in the second-set win, led by Tettegah with three, and Snow, Grove, Dodson, and senior Alexis Zygmunt each collecting two apiece.
"She just told us to go for it because they were a scrappy team and you never know what to expect," Tettegah said of Cole's pep-talk in the late second-set timeout. "She told us to be on our toes and be ready for the ball wherever it goes."
Louisa coach Joel Abe was happy his team began to bounce back in the second set and give the Judges a push.
"That's what we talk about — having resiliency," Abe said. "We have five seniors, and that's the leadership part they've been working on this year. You can always come back in a game and it was great to see in both [the second and third] sets they made a late push and kept fighting all the way up until the end."
Handley got a big boost from Liza Homan to begin the third set, and the sophomore's three kills quickly put the Judges in front. A 5-0 run a short time later increased the hold to 11-2, sparked by a Homan block off a free ball that was returned too close to the net off Zygmunt's serve, two straight aces from Zygmunt, and two kills (both off tips) by Grove.
The play of Homan, Grove, and Dodson kept things under control deep into the set until Louisa had one last push after Cole changed up her lineup to allow several recent junior varsity call-ups to get some postseason experience.
The Lions scored five points during six late exchanges, but the Judges sealed it when Tettegah sent a kill down for match point.
It was balance once again for the Judges, and all six seniors had a big hand. Grove (six kills, one ace), Tettegah (five kills, eight digs), Zygmunt (four kills, three total blocks), Hoffman (14 assists), Molly Mintschenko (an ace), and Nichole Smith (eight assists) all had their moments and helped the Judges earn their place in the Conference 23 final, which will be played on Thursday at 6:30 p.m. at Fluvanna.
"Especially since we have six seniors, everyone on the team wants to go out with a bang," Tettegah said. "It's our last season of volleyball and it's almost over."
A senior closed it out with a kill, and a senior with a big serve got the team out to a start that built all the confidence they needed.
Hoffman, too, is cherishing playing with her classmates and wants the good moments to last as long as they can.
"It was a big goal [to win in three sets on Tuesday]," Hoffman said. "We want to come out as strong as we can in our conference. It was really important to win here [Tuesday]. I've played with these girls from seventh grade and through many travel seasons, and it's really important our senior year that we finish strong and have nothing left to give on the court."

what kind of vehicle? anyways, most have a vacuum ball under the hood the vacuum connections go to that operate the vents, if this ball isn`t there, there`s nothing to stop them from moving back to there closed position if there is no vacuum, and there is no vacuum at under load throttle. all the device does is act as a check ball to hold the vacuum it has under acceleration. on most GM`s it looks like a ball with 2 vacuum fittings, on other GM cars it looks like a long slender can. sounds as if yours is missing in action or is no longer operational and needs replaced.
I second that. I would hook a gauge up to it. with a long piece of hose that goes to the cab. and try it. and see if the vacuum is lost when you acclerate.
Assuming you have the cannister. |
The vehicle is a 1995 Dodge Caravan with the 3.3 litre V-6.
A vacuum ball, huh? Is that the thing that plugs into the brake vacuum booster? It has a vacuum line coming out and going through the firewall. Oh wait...the line does have a can thing on it. I'll try replacing that and see what happens. |
This last Spring I noticed that my heater controls were stuck on defrost. I figured it was the dash control so I changed it. No luck. I then resorted to actually reading the repair manual (real men don't need instructions!). After some simple checking, I found the bottom of the vacuum ball had MELTED and you couldn't see it from the top.
I found what I think is the vacuum ball, a canister about as big as my thumb, located on the vacuum line going through the firewall. Went to the local Chrysler dealer and guess what? The thing does not show on any of their parts lists or schematics! I'll try to run something down this weekend.
I think the vacuum cannister "ball" should be about the size of a softball. THink about it. It has to store enough vacuum to pull all your vacuum lines. I think you are fooling with a checkvalve.
I thought it was a check valve. I know what you're talking about with the ball, I have one on my truck. This car doesn't have one. They just built it with a vacuum line coming off the brake boost reservoir with a check valve in it. But that gives me another idea ... maybe I'll try plumbing the truck's ball into the van and see what difference it makes!!
You can use a garbage can for a vacuum storage. If it was sealed. anything that will hold a vacuum. Give the one off your other vehicle and see it it helps. I think there should just be 2 nipples on the ball. I dont know which is in/out. On mine the big one is to the manifold and the little one to the accessories.

March 1, 2015 on 12:25 am | In Bravo, Fascinating Information, Funny...Money, Government, Investment Opportunities, Office Fodder, Solutions, Uncategorized | 2 CommentsHow the Small Business Administration can Help You Improve or Start a Small Business
People have great ideas for small business all the time, but most never get past the idea stage, and it's often due to a lack of funding for major expenses like retail or industrial space. And many don't realize that they might be able to access funding from the Small Business Administration (SBA), a federal agency that provides all kinds of useful information—as well as loans—for small business and start-ups.
What Help can the SBA Provide for Small Business Owners?
The SBA offers a range of different types of programs for helping small business owners get loans or access venture capital, and can also guarantee bonds for contractors.
SBA guaranteed loan programs are designed to help small business owners get third party loans from participating lenders. The money that a small business owner borrows doesn't come from the SBA itself, it comes from a conventional lender such as a bank, or sometimes from micro-lender organizations or other community organizations. Many banks participate in the SBA loan program, including The Bank of America, Chase, US Banks, and Wells Fargo, as well as lending institutions like Fundera. The SBA's role in the loan process is to provide a guarantee that the loan will be repaid; this reduces the risk for the lender, and allows them to offer loans with more favorable terms, and more relaxed qualifying criteria. Note, however, that the SBA won't guarantee a loan for a borrower who can access conventional financing at a reasonable rate—the loans are intended more for people who would not otherwise be able to access affordable funding.
In a similar fashion, the SBA surety bond program helps contractors by acting as a third party, or surety, to a contract between the contractor and a project owner (the person the contractor is doing work for). Under the terms of an agreement between the contractor and project owner, the contractor is legally bound to provide the work they're contracted for, but if they are unable to do so, the surety—in this case, the SBA—becomes responsible for getting the work done.
The also known as the Small Business Investment Company (SBIC) is a combination private and public investment partnership designed to help small businesses locate growth capital. The funds are licensed by—but not provided by—the SBA, but the SBA supplements capital raised by investors with its guaranteed loan program. Access to venture capital funds is more limited than access to loan funds, however, and there are more stringent qualifying criteria for businesses that want to access venture capital.
What can You Use SBA Loans For?
The SBA offers several different loan programs; the amount a small business owner can borrow depends on the bank they work with as well as SBA regulations. For example, Chase bank offers loans of up to $5 million, while Bank of America offers loans of up to 3.5 million. In most cases, the business must have been in operation for two or three years, and the owner or owners must have some of their own equity in the business (these are requirements of the lenders, rather than the SBA itself). The SBA has requirements of its own: for example, the business must be a for-profit organization, be an SBA-defined small business, and have a sound business purpose in mind for the funds. However, there are few restrictions on what the business can do with the money: it can be used for both long term and short term purposes, including use as working capital for paying expenses of operation, to buy equipment, fittings and furnishings, or supplies, to buy real estate such as building or land, to renovate a building, or to construct a new one. Purchasing land and buildings can be an especially advantageous way to use SBA loan funds, since it allows a small business owner to access retail or industrial space without having to qualify for a commercial loan, which is typically a more expensive prospect than a residential one. Restrictions on what can be done with the money include using it to pay or refinance other debts, to pay delinquent taxes, or for any purpose not considered a "sound business purpose" according to SBA regulations.
How to Apply for SBA Funding
The SBA offers plenty of guidance for small business owners interested in applying for loans or accessing venture capital, including help with finding local lenders, application checklists and guidelines, and further services at local offices.
February 15, 2015 on 12:08 am | In Fascinating Information, Investment Opportunities, Solutions, Uncategorized | 2 Commentsby Naomi Shaw
A real estate partnership can be a lucrative venture for many individuals with a limited amount of money to invest. Forming a partnership will increase your working capital, and you'll be able to buy properties you couldn't afford on your own.
However, there are some significant risks that can come with forming a partnership. If you choose the wrong person or company to do business with, you could find that your investment quickly becomes a loss.
Before entering into any sort of real estate business partnership, make sure you do your homework on who you'll be working with.
Knowing Your Partner
Entering into a real estate partnership with another person or company is something you should do only after you understand who you're working with. While helpful to work with people you know and trust, there are some questions you should ask any person or company before considering a partnership.
● How much money do you have to invest? How is your credit score?
● How many properties do you currently own?
● When do you expect to make a profit from your properties? Do you plan on holding properties for years or do you want a quick turnaround to leverage into other ventures?
● Have you had other real estate partnerships in the past? Do you currently have other real estate partners? Do you have references to any past or current partners?
Understanding Your Partnership Agreement
Before you commit to any type of partnership, it's essential that you come up with an agreement as to how the partnership is going to work. The most important things you need to discuss when setting up a real estate partnership include:
● How partners will get paid and when. Do partners share profits or are profits tied to resale only?
● What your responsibilities in the partnership are. Usually, one partner will manage properties while another is responsible for finding new properties. Of course, all partnerships differ. Defined roles are important.
● Is the partnership going to be reviewed at certain times? Many partnerships review profits about once per year. After all, not all partnerships are worth maintaining if there's no growth or profit.
Hire an Attorney
If you form a good partnership, chances are you won't ever need to consult your attorney. However, you do need to hire a qualified attorney who will help you setup your partnership.
Trying to do it yourself will most likely leave big gaps in your contract, and unless you're incredibly well versed in business partnerships, those gaps could create potential problems down the road when it becomes time to sell properties, split profits, or dissolve the partnership and its assets.
Hiring an attorney seems costly, but it's going to cost you a lot less than a business partnership gone wrong.
A real estate partnership is often an excellent way to make more money than you ever could on your own while balancing the work that real estate investing takes. However, partner with the wrong person, and you could end up losing all of the money that you had to invest.
Do your homework and ask questions, and always set up a binding legal agreement that helps both partners understand how they'll be working together and how they'll be able to exit the partnership if needed.

January 31, 2015 on 9:02 pm | In Bravo, Lease Rates, Market Snapshot, Office Fodder, Statistics, Trends, Uncategorized | 1 CommentIf you've held on to your Los Angeles area office real estate through the stagnant years, 2015 is your time to cash in. Up until recently, office space demand has roughly equaled inventory additions. Finally, operations in the major office districts in Greater Downtown, the Westside Cities and the San Fernando Valley/Tri-Cities areas are seeing significant improvement.
Let's look at Westside office space…where the past year, Silicon Beach office vacancy rates dropped to 14.3% as technology firms continue to seek out real estate in the ultra-hot neighborhoods of Venice, Santa Monica, Marina del Rey, Mar Vista, Playa Vista and Culver City. As the young and digital take over the Westside, according to Marcus and Millichap, median asking rents for office space climbed 10.4% to $42.97 per square foot. Rents for Class A space was up 9%% to $44.73 per square foot. Class B/C asking rents for jumped 13.7% in the period to $39.51 per square foot. In 2015, full-service asking rents will improve 5.7% to $44.12 per square foot this year as conditions remain favorable for leasing managers. Keep in mind, despite the huge gains, asking rents finish the year 8.5% below the pre-recession peak.
Rising rents have impacted sales trends. Average sale prices for West Side office buildings ncreased 7% in the period to $453 per square foot. Top-tier properties changed hands close to $500 per square foot.
Although buyer demand supported market appreciation, transaction velocity dipped 17% year over year as investors opted to hold onto properties as Net Operating Incomes continue to climb. Mostly, 2014 saw class B assets changing hands, as cap rates compressed to the low-6% range because of improving operations.
Expect the Westside Cities market to remain tight, as only 70,000 sq.ft.is under construction. Development is expected to be limited on 2015. The largest project is a medical office building at 121 N. San Vicente Blvd. The 32,000-square foot property is scheduled for completion in the second quarter of 2015.
Looking at 2015, vacancy rates will fall to 13.8%. As centrally located space becomes occupied and prices rise, affordable space will draw tenants priced out of prime office districts. Asking rents could climb as much as 5%.

January 1, 2015 on 8:29 pm | In Bravo, Fascinating Information, Investment Opportunities, Lease Rates, Market Snapshot, New Developments, Office Fodder, Statistics, Trends, Uncategorized, Winning Properties | 2 CommentsAs real estate developer Rick Caruso is remaking downtown Pacific Palisades, other developers have been flocking to area neighboring Caruso's Playa Vista development.
Global presence Google has increased their real estate holdings by purchasing 12 acres in Playa Vista, while developers Clarion Partners and Maguire Investments have made significant office investments in the neighborhood.
Word on the street has it that Google spent nearly $120 million on 12 vacant acres next to a historic hangar where aviator Howard Hughes built his famous "Spruce Goose" airplane. Zoning allows for nearly 900,000 square feet of commercial space on the 520,000+ square feet of land. Google will also lease the Hughes hangar. Built in 1943, that 319,000-square-foot building has recently housed soundstages for movie and television production. This compliments their 41,000-square-foot video production facility for subsidiary YouTube, which is housed in a renovated former Hughes building in Playa Vista.
"This is phenomenal news for the Westside and for the Los Angeles economy," said City Councilman Mike Bonin, who represents the Playa Vista area. "It really makes and brands Playa Vista as the tech and innovation capital of Los Angeles."
Also in Playa Vista, DivcoWest and Maguire Investments have formed a joint venture that will own Water's Edge, a two-building, 260,000-square-foot office property developed by Maguire Investments. The joint venture also plans to develop a third creative office building on the campus. Groundbreaking is expected to be mid-2015.
"The timing was perfect," praised Robert F. Maguire III, chairman and CEO of Maguire Investments. "Our timing is really exceptional because the buildings currently underway are essentially rehabs, so we will be the first new building in the market….We can't move fast enough. Once completed it will be one of the most exciting creative campuses in the country."
Speaking of facelifts, Clarion Partners has completed redevelopment and rebranding of its office property at 12130 and 12180 Millennium Drive in Playa Vista. Not to be outdone, Clarion boasts that the six-story, 301,642-square-foot property will be the first major creative office redevelopment property in Los Angeles. Formerly named Latitude 34, the new building has already signed a 49,000-square-foot lease with Group M advertising company.
Expect new office development on the Westside beyond Playa Vista be limited to a handful of small properties, as the average vacancy falls to 13.8%. Class A rents for top-tier space is up 9% to $44.73 per square foot annually.
Last year Microsoft Corp. opened a roughly 20,000-square-foot space in Playa Vista, relocating 130 employees from downtown L.A. Facebook Inc. has operations nearby. The neighborhood boasts the headquarters of online advertising platform Rubicon Project, consumer electronics and accessories maker Belkin International and ICANN, the nonprofit organization that is responsible for assigning Internet domains.
The Lincoln Property Co. (which sold the land to Google) is the largest commercial developer in Playa Vista, with five office buildings – including the new West Coast headquarters for movie specialist IMAX Corp.
Lincoln is also building the Runway, a $260-million retail, housing and office project that will become the commercial heart of Playa Vista when it opens early next year. Other developers are in the process of building an additional 2,600 housing units.
As the Silicon Beach reputation continues to grow, Playa Vista has become an innovation incubator. At first, the neighborhood's appeal was because of its location near major freeways, the Westside, the beach and Los Angeles International Airport. But, Playa Vista has come into its one as a vibrant creative community, home to USC's Institute for Creative Technologies, as well as TMZ, Warner Bros, Sony PlayStation and Verizon. Yahoo is rumored to be leasing office space there soon.

Donald Sterling on Forbes Lists:
- #931 Billionaires
- #328 in United States
- #792 in 2013
- #296 Forbes 400
Rounding out the California-based real estate billionaires on the Forbes top 1,000 billionaire's list is the infamous former owner of the L.A. Clippers Donald Sterling.
In August 2014, Sterling was forced to seller the basketball team he owned to former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer for $2 billion. You remember, Sterling gained notoriety due to racist remarks he made in 2014 in relation to the L.A. Clippers, the evolution of struggling San Diego-based NBA team he bought in 1981 for $12.5 million.
Donald Sterling was born Donald Tokowitz on April 26, 1934, in Chicago, Illinois. His family moved to the Boyle Heights area of Los Angeles when he was two years old. Starting in 1961, Sterling began to make his career as a divorce and personal injury attorney building an independent practice when Jews had few opportunities at prestigious law firms.
Sterling got started in real estate when he purchased a 26-unit apartment building in Beverly Hills. He then purchased Lesser Towers, a pair of large apartment buildings in Westwood and renamed them the Sterling Towers (now the Sterling International Towers).
Sterling amassed his fortune over several decades, buying apartment buildings primarily in Los Angeles; he also owns properties in Orange County, San Diego and Las Vegas.
In 2009, Sterling paid $2.7 million to settle a lawsuit that alleged housing discrimination against African Americans and Hispanics; Sterling and his wife denied any wrongdoing.
