Comments about Johnston & Murphy BELINDA WINGTIP:
I bought these shoes because I had been looking for a great pair of oxfords for a long time. I decided on the red ones and I am so glad I did. Better than the style (if possible) is the fact that they are soooooo comfortable. They feel like slippers but look like stylish shoes. So happy with the purchase.

Comments about Johnston & Murphy BELINDA WINGTIP:
Shoe is very stylish and I get many compliments when I wear it, but the toe is a little too long and pointy for my taste. This would be absolutely perfect if the toe was a little shorter and rounded. Very lightweight although not quite as comfortable as I'd hoped, but I have problem feet and this shoe will probably be fine for most people.

Comments about Johnston & Murphy BELINDA WINGTIP:
These look so cute with the hottest colors of the season--coral and mint, which is how I've been wearing them. I can wear them all day with those socks that fit down inside the shoe (they won't look right with actual socks). I find they are too hot to wear barefoot though. But otherwise they are so cute, worth every penny. I get so many compliments, but my feet are the most thankful!

Comments about Johnston & Murphy BELINDA WINGTIP:
Girls (in a trendy shop) have literally stopped me and asked where I bought these shoes. I love how comfortable they are. I wear them with dresses or shorts. I want another pair of these in black and white!

Giants, Padres look to end season on high note
Moscoso gets second start for San Francisco; Ross goes for San Diego
Even though their postseason chances have come and gone, the Giants aren't going down without a fight.
Since Aug. 24, the Giants have gone 19-14, which gives them the third-best winning percentage among National League teams behind Washington and St. Louis. At 15-11 in September, this is the first winning month they've recorded since May.
In the season finale Sunday, they'll send Guillermo Moscoso, a 29-year-old right-hander, to the mound for his second start of the season and first since Aug. 4 at Tampa Bay. He will be opposed by Padres right-hander Tyson Ross.
Moscoso pitched 4 2/3 innings in his Aug. 4 start, allowing three runs on four hits and four walks with three strikeouts. He's appeared in 12 games for the Giants this season, allowing 12 runs in 25 2/3 innings.
Ross will be making his 16th start and 35th appearance of the season. Over his last 12 outings since rejoining the rotation July 23, he has gone 3-4 with a 2.80 ERA, holding opponents to a .192 batting average with 78 strikeouts and 22 walks. Since July 23, his .192 average is fourth best in baseball and the third best in the National League.
In 15 starts this year, he is 3-5 with a 2.97 ERA, and he has worked six or more innings in 10 of his last 12 starts.
Ross pitched eight solid innings and held the D-backs to three hits and one run while striking out six and walking three batters Tuesday.
"He has made strides and is gaining confidence in his ability as a starting pitcher," Padres manager Bud Black said. "Given the opportunities here with consistent, regular starts, I think the talent that everybody has seen with Tyson is starting to show up in competition."
Padres: Gyorko concluding historic rookie campaign
On Sunday, Padres second baseman Jedd Gyorko will finish up his historic season in which he leads all rookies with 22 home runs and 47 extra-base hits. He has the third-most home runs in history by a rookie second baseman, trailing Dan Uggla, who had 27 for the Marlins in 2006, and Joe Gordon, who had 25 with the Yankees in 1938.
Gyorko leads the Padres with 59 RBIs, and since RBIs became an official stat in 1920, no rookie second baseman has led his team in RBIs. The only other Padre to lead the team in RBIs as a rookie was first baseman Nate Colbert, who recorded 66 in 1969.
Giants: Pence signed on for five more years
The Giants agreed to a five-year deal with right fielder Hunter Pence on Saturday. This prevents Pence, 30, from becoming a free agent.
Giants right-hander Matt Cain welcomed the news of Pence's deal.
"He's been very instrumental in the year and a half he's been here," Cain said. "He's definitely an exciting player to watch for us as teammates, and he brings that excitement to the stadium for the fans, too. He's a guy that always is going to bring it, every game. To have him on the team is a huge benefit for us. That's a guy that you want on your side."
Pence has a career-high 27 home runs and leads the team in most major offensive categories.
Worth noting
• Chase Headley has hit safely in 28 of his last 34 games since Aug. 15. He's batting .300 (36-for-120) in that span.
• Twelve of the Giants' last 20 games have been decided by just one run. The Giants are 27-29 in one-run games this season.

Speaker John Boehner gives a thumbs up on the floor of the House on Thursday. / Saul Loeb, AFP/Getty Images
WASHINGTON--House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, was re-elected to a second two-year term to lead a polarized Congress, which convened for the 113th session on Thursday. Debates on deficit reduction, immigration, and gun laws are on the agenda.
For Boehner, leadership challenges also await. He begins the new Congress on a weakened note after failing to deliver a majority of Republicans in support of a bipartisan deal to avert the fiscal cliff of tax hikes and spending cuts, which passed on the strength of House Democrats' support.
He also came under fire this week from Gov. Chris Christie, R-N.J., for delaying action on federal aid for storm victims in the Northeast.
His re-election was never in doubt, but rank-and-file frustration spilled out on the House floor during the roll call vote to elect the speaker, which is the first order of business in a new Congress. Nine Republicans voted for someone other than Boehner, and one lawmaker, Rep. Steve Stockman, R-Texas, voted present. Of the nine who voted against Boehner, three voted for his top deputy, Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va. Two freshman lawmakers who won in the 2010 Tea Party wave, Reps. Mick Mulvaney of South Carolina and Raul Labrador of Idaho, did not vote despite being present.
Boehner was re-elected with 220 votes, while Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., received 192. Pelosi did not receive the support of a half dozen Democrats.
In a speech before the House, Boehner sought an inspirational tone for the new session. "For those who are returning, who have walked these aisles before, maybe it's time we feel awestruck again," he said, calling the the 113th Congress "a time to rise" and cautioned lawmakers against putting politics ahead of the country. "So if you have come here to see your name in lights or to pass off political victory as accomplishment, you have come to the wrong place. The door is behind you," he said.
In her remarks, Pelosi called on Congress to address immigration reform and gun laws, invoking the shooting massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.
The Senate was also sworn in Thursday, ushering in a historic level of women, 20, serving in the chamber and the first black senator from the South since Reconstruction, Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C. He is the only African American in the Senate. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., will continue to lead the chamber.
Vice President Biden swore in the 12 new members elected in November. Opening day draws scores of former lawmakers back to Capitol Hill. Looking on from the Senate gallery was former senator and vice president Walter Mondale from Minnesota. Defeated GOP senator Richard Lugar and retired Democratic senator Evan Bayh appeared alongside newly elected home state Sen. Joe Donnelly of Indiana, a Democrat. Former Ohio Democratic senator John Glenn appeared with newly reelected Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio.
Shortly before the session, Sen. Mark Kirk, R-Ill., who had been absent for the past year while recovering from a stroke, slowly walked up the 45 steps to the Senate, with Biden nearby and the Senate leaders at the top of the stairs to greet him.
"A courageous man," Reid said. Members of the Illinois congressional delegation and senators stood on the steps.
As he entered the building, resting on a cane, Biden and Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., helped Kirk take off his coat. The senator said he was glad to be back.
The traditions come against the backdrop of a divided Congress that is on a collision course with President Obama over upcoming budget fights to extend the $16.4 trillion debt ceiling and fund the federal government.
A deal to avert the "fiscal cliff" of big tax increases and spending cuts split the parties in New Year's Day votes, and the House's failure to vote on a Superstorm Sandy aid package before adjournment prompted GOP recriminations against the leadership.
"There's a lot of hangover obviously from the last few weeks of this session into the new one, which always makes a fresh start a lot harder," said Rep. Kevin Brady, R-Texas.
Followng the 2012 elections, Democrats tightened their grip on the Senate for a 55-45 edge in the new Congress, while Republicans maintained their majority in the House but will have a smaller advantage, 233-200. There are two vacancies.
The new Congress still faces the ideological disputes that plagued the dysfunctional 112th Congress, one of the least productive and most unpopular in more than 60 years. Tea Party members within the Republican ranks insist on fiscal discipline in the face of growing deficits and have pressed for deep cuts in spending as part of a reduced role for the federal government. Democrats envision a government with enough resources to help the less fortunate and press for the wealthiest to pay more in taxes.
"We can only hope for more help," said Manchin, who was re-elected in November. "Any time you have new members arriving you have that expectation of bringing fresh ideas and kind of a vitality that is needed. We hope that they're coming eager to work hard and make some difficult decisions and put the country first and not be bogged down ideologically."
At least one longtime Democrat, Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts, will be departing in a few weeks, nominated by Obama to be secretary of State. That opens the door to former Republican senator Scott Brown, the only incumbent senator to lose in November's elections, to possibly make a bid to return to Washington.
Eighty-two freshmen join the House - 47 Democrats and 35 Republicans.
In the Senate, the Associated Press reported that Reid and Republican leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky are negotiating possible changes in the rules as lawmakers face a bitter partisan fight over filibusters, according to a Senate Democratic leadership aide who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly about private matters.
Reid has complained that Republicans filibuster too often and has threatened to impose strict limits with a simple majority vote. That step could set off retaliatory delays and other maneuvers by Republicans, who argue that they filibuster because Reid often blocks them from offering amendments.
The aide said Reid was preserving the option of making changes with a simple majority vote.

Swanstone Corporate Statement
For more than four decades, we have been a quiet leader in the kitchen and bath industry. Our high-quality products have always balanced durability, value and style. Innovation is one of our core values, and we have set a standard with our ability to invent. Now it's time to reinvent.
The Swan Story
For more than 40 years, we've been creating innovative and affordable solid surface products and materials for customers all over the world. It started in 1964, when we introduced the Swan Shell Shower, a doorless, shell-shaped shower that captured the spirit of its time.
The Shell Shower was the first in a long line of original kitchen and bath products from Swan, including the Circle Shower as well as the industry's first non-ceramic tile bathtub wall system.
In 1987, we introduced Swanstone to the world, first with a line of vanity tops and bowls. Swanstone quickly became known for its superior impact strength, heat resistance, and ability to resist scratches and stains. Consumers now had an elegant and durable solid surface material that was also affordable.
Since then, our Swanstone line has expanded to include a wide variety of kitchen sinks, countertops, tub and shower walls, and more. In 1994 we introduced the Swanstone 1/4" sheet program, offering even more flexibility to Swanstone customers. In 1997 we introduced a complete line of Swanstone products for the restaurant industry, including tabletops, countertops, vanity tops, mop service sinks and windowsills.
At Swan, we're committed to a policy of continuous improvement, to providing our customers with the highest quality products and most responsive customer service in the kitchen & bath industry. And we stand behind this commitment with some of the best warranties in the business.
Made in America
The Swan Corporation is headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri, with manufacturing facilities in Centralia, Illinois.
We proudly manufacture all products made from these material systems in the USA.
Swan High-Gloss
Swanstone Europa Collection
Contrasting the clean, modern lines of today's vanity solutions, the Europa collection adds a touch of traditional styling to the easy-to-install single-piece vanity top.

I bought just about ever product in the Temple Tree Jasmine range, as I love the fragrance, but the room mist just smelt strange. It wasn't anything like jasmine, more like the chemical propellant in the spray, even after I tried shaking it. I don't think that I will use it as it wasn't very pleasant - it's a great shame as I loved all the other items I received. Maybe I just got a bad one?

If you like jasmine and you like floral scents, this home fragrance mist is for you. It has a sweet smell, and a little spritz goes a long way. I have used it to clear the smell of cooking odors and just to "freshen" the home atmosphere.

Census of Population and Housing, 2000 [United States]: Census Tract Relationship Files (CTRF) (ICPSR 13287)
Principal Investigator(s): United States Department of Commerce. Bureau of the Census
Part of the Census 2000 geographic product series, Census Tract Relationship Files (CTRF) show how 1990 census tracts relate to 2000 census tracts. The files consist of one record for each 1990 census tract/2000 census tract spatial set. A spatial census tract set is defined as the area that is uniquely shared between a 1990 census tract and a 2000 census tract. The CTRF consist of sets of four files for each of the United States and territories. The purpose of these files is to assist users in determining the relationships between 1990 and 2000 census tracts. Two of these files are state-level entity-based census tract relationship files, one providing a measurement of change based on population, the second measures change using street-side mileage. The other two files specifically list census tracts that have experienced significant change (2.5 percent or greater): one from the perspective of 1990 census tracts, the other from the perspective of Census 2000. A set of files for the United States as a whole is also provided.

This Nov. 8, 2012 file photo shows marijuana plants flourishing under the lights at a grow house in Denver. / Ed Andrieski, AP
PHOENIX -- Arizona teens are obtaining pot from medical marijuana cardholders, according to a biennial study by the Arizona Criminal Justice Commission.
Nearly one out of every nine high schoolers who said they used the drug within the past 30 days said they got it from a cardholder, the 2012 Youth Study shows.
The study found 11.6% of students in grades 8, 10 and 12 said they got the drug from patients or caregivers who are legally allowed to use marijuana under the voter-approved Arizona Medical Marijuana Act.
It is illegal for anyone who is not a participant in the state's medical marijuana program to obtain and use the drug. It is also illegal for medical marijuana cardholders to share their pot with those who are not in the program. Law enforcement and drug-free organizations have opposed the state's medical marijuana program partly because of concern that youth could have easier access to the drug.
The overwhelming majority of surveyed students reported that they obtained marijuana from friends, at parties, from family, at school, at home, or other places.
Overall marijuana use remained mostly steady in 2012 at nearly 29%, up from more than 27% in 2008 but down from nearly 30% in 2010.
Arizona voters in 2010 passed the medical-marijuana measure to allow people with certain debilitating medical conditions, including chronic pain, cancer and muscle spasms, to use marijuana. They must obtain a recommendation from a physician and register with the state Department of Health Services, which oversees the program and issues identification cards to qualified patients and caregivers.
More than 33,000 people have permission to use medical marijuana in Arizona.
Health officials "knew there would be people abusing the system," even though the program was designed to be strictly medical, said Laura Oxley, spokeswoman for the Arizona Department of Health Services.
A Monitoring the Future survey of 45,449 students in eighth, 10th, and 12th grade released last month, found 6.5% of high school seniors smoke marijuana daily. Almost 23% smoke marijuana regularly. The survey also found that as more states adopt laws allowing medical marijuana, fewer teens see occasional marijuana use as harmful.
