How It WorksIn PreparationService LocationsAppointments
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a highly specialized test that produces very clear images of the body without the use of X-rays. Boulder Community Health offers MRI scans at both our Broadway and Foothills locations. Our equipment includes two state-of-the-art 1.5 Tesla scanners and one 3.0 Tesla scanner. Benefits of MRI
Main uses of MRI are for diagnosis of health problems including internal injuries, early-stage strokes, cancers, musculoskeletal problems, brain and nervous system disorders and state of the art cardiac scanning. The scan is also used to evaluate soft tissue masses, bone tumors and spinal problems such as herniated discs. Boulder Community Health offers some specific specialty exams not offered by most facilities. These inclued Breast Imaging, MRI guided needle localization
How It Works
The MRI scanner produces a wide variety of two and three-dimensional images using a large magnet, radio waves, and a computer. The patient lies on his back on a bed that is moved into a horizontal tube. The machine uses short bursts of a powerful magnetic field to create images. During the scan, you must lie very still for about 30 to 45 minutes. The scanner makes loud tapping sounds each time a part of the body is being scanned, so headphones or earplugs are available to lessen the sounds. There is no preparation required for a MRI scan.
A board-certified radiologist interprets the images created by the scan and sends a report to your physician.
MRI is a pain-free procedure and a wonderful diagnostic tool for many people. However, necessary precautions need to be followed. Because magnets are used, some people are not good candidates for this exam, such as individuals with heart pacemakers. Always provide your doctor with important information about your health before having a MRI.
In Preparation
Please be sure to notify your physician if you have any kidney issues and he/she has ordered your MRI with contrast. Please also notify your physician or the MRI department at 303-938-5150 if you are claustrophobic. You must be able to lie still for about 30 to 40 minutes. If lying still is an issue for you please contact your physician or the MRI department at 303-938-5150.Service LocationsMRI is provided at two locations:Boulder Community Hospital, North Broadway and Balsam, Boulder.Foothills Hospital, 48th and Arapahoe, Boulder.

HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL: Lake View wary of competitive Snyder squad
Tigers are winless, but only by 9 combined points
SAN ANGELO, Texas - What: Nondistrict football game
When: 7:30 p.m. Friday
Where: San Angelo Stadium
Records: Lake View is 2-2, Snyder is 0-4
Radio: KWFR 101.9-FM at 7:15 p.m.
Of note: Snyder beat Lake View 20-14 last year.
Coming off a big win last week on the road against Greenwood, it would be easy for the Lake View High School football team to take winless Snyder lightly heading into Friday's homecoming game at San Angelo Stadium.
But the Chiefs know better than that.
Despite its 0-4 start, Snyder has remarkably lost all of those games by a combined nine points.
"First of all, Snyder is nine points away from being 4-0," Lake View head coach Doug Kuhlmann said. "We made sure that our athletes understand that. They've played some good football teams, too — Brownwood, (Lubbock) Cooper, Lubbock Estacado, and (Amarillo) Caprock. All the teams had to beat them at the very end.
"I expect it to be a hard-fought game throughout. And we need to make it a big game for ourselves to finish off the nondistrict schedule and be ready to go into district."
The Chiefs (2-2) had a school-record performance by senior running back Eli Peterson last week, as he ran for 325 yards on 28 carries. He found his way into the end zone six times.
Lake View will have an open date next Friday before opening 4-4A play at home against undefeated Frenship.
Peterson said the Chiefs want to build on the success they enjoyed last week.
"We sure will play our hearts out this week," said Peterson, who has 788 yards rushing and 10 TDs through four games. "We've got a whole week to rest and recuperate.
"I'm positive everyone's going to give it their all this week, with it being homecoming and we are having success. A lot of people are going to turn out to watch us. We're not going to disappoint. We are very excited for this game."
Kuhlmann said he's always a little concerned about his players' focus during homecoming week, but Peterson said the Chiefs know better than to let homecoming become a distraction.
"Last year we were not focused for homecoming," said Peterson, referring to Lake View's 42-7 loss to Greenwood in 2012. "This group of kids, we're very levelheaded, very down to earth and focused. We don't worry about things going on outside.
"When the game starts, it's game time. We like the other stuff, but it's not our main focus. Our main focus is to play football and win football games. The outside distractions aren't going to bother us I don't think."
Kuhlmann said the Tigers, who beat Lake View 20-14 last year in Snyder, present a big challenge on both sides of the ball.
"Offensively, they have a quarterback (Skillet Rinehart) that reads real well," Kuhlmann said. "They're going to establish the run first. The offensive line averages 250 (pounds), I don't know, somewhere along in there.
"And they have a real fast running back (D'Vincent Allison) who knows how to hit the hole and hit it quick. He's got a lot of things going for him."
Allison has run for a team-high 735 yards and 10 TDs
Rinehart has rushed for 411 yards and three TDs, in addition to throwing for 376 and two TDs.
Kuhlmann also is concerned with the Tigers' "opportunistic" defense that has caused fumbles and takeaways at critical times.
"They're a lot better defensive unit than you'd think when you see the score, especially like the Brownwood score (46-43)," Kuhlmann said. "We're not going to be able to just show up and feel like we're going to win.
"We're going to have to establish our offense by execution, and the defense has got to play well. They've got to know where to go and fight hard."
Lake View junior quarterback Nick Martinez, who returned to the starting lineup last week after an elbow injury, says the Chiefs will have to have one of their best games of the season Friday.
"They look like they're a good football team, but that just means that we have to work harder," Martinez said. "We have to memorize everything the coaches teach us and we'll see how it goes on Friday.
"I think Snyder's going to come in fired up because they want to beat us."

A volume in the Middle Ages Series
View table of contents
"I know of no other book that so systematically reviews the question of how Dominicans themselves thought about the relationship of interrogation and torture, truth and pain, persecution and divinity. There are few topics more vital—especially at present—than a study into the relationship of religion and violence. Righteous Persecution is an important and lasting contribution to scholarship."—Mark Gregory Pegg, Washington University
Righteous Persecution examines the long-controversial involvement of the Order of Preachers, or Dominicans, with inquisitions into heresy in medieval Europe. From their origin in the thirteenth century, the Dominicans were devoted to a ministry of preaching, teaching, and pastoral care, to "save souls" particularly tempted by the Christian heresies popular in western Europe. Many persons then, and scholars in our own time, have asked how members of a pastoral order modeled on Christ and the apostles could engage themselves so enthusiastically in the repressive persecution that constituted heresy inquisitions: the arrest, interrogation, torture, punishment, and sometimes execution of those who deviated in belief from Roman Christianity.
Drawing on an extraordinarily wide base of ecclesiastical documents, Christine Caldwell Ames recounts how Dominican inquisitors and their supporters crafted and promoted explicitly Christian meanings for their inquisitorial persecution. Inquisitors' conviction that the sin of heresy constituted the graver danger to the Christian soul and to the church at large led to the belief that bringing the individual to repentance—even through the harshest means—was indeed a pious way to carry out their pastoral task. However, the resistance and criticism that inquisition generated in medieval communities also prompted Dominicans to consider further how this new marriage of persecution and holiness was compatible with authoritative Christian texts, exemplars, and traditions. Dominican inquisitors persecuted not despite their faith but rather because of it, as they formed a medieval Christianity that permitted—or demanded—persecution.
Righteous Persecution deviates from recent scholarship that has deemphasized religious belief as a motive for inquisition and illuminates a powerful instance of the way Christianity was itself vulnerable in a context of persecution, violence, and intolerance.

Tamils undisputed champions of diaspora politics: Scottish writer[TamilNet, Sunday, 31 January 2010, 17:07 GMT]Unless there is a sea change in the factional Scottish parliament in the months ahead, it is a vote I will not be able to cast in a Scottish constitutional context, writes Stuart Cosgrove, a Scot married to an Eezham Tamil, who cast his vote in that capacity in the referendum for Tamil Eelam in Mayhill, Glasgow, Saturday. In his column in Times Online, from the Sunday Times, he recollected the Scottish referendum of 1997 and sounded contentment about his participation in the Tamil referendum which in his view defied the new world order on the epic stage of global politics. Saying Tamils are undisputed champions of diaspora politics today, Cosgroves appreciation was that it was a timely reminder that democracy is a precious gem that neither war nor national circumstances should tarnish. On the text of the referendum he said, almost teasingly, it is a wordier variation of the statement Alex Salmond would dearly love to make for Scots. I aspire for the formation of the independent and sovereign state of Tamil Eelam ... on the basis that the Tamils in the island of Sri Lanka make a distinct nation, have a traditional homeland and have the right to self-determination. Mr Stuart Cosgrove is married to an Eezham Tamil Shirani Sabaratnam from Jaffna. Full text of the article follows: Maryhill has a special place in urban folklore. Its the spiritual home of Partick Thistle, a gangland where the Maryhill Fleet once roamed, and for the fearful bourgeoisie of Glasgows west end its bandit country, just beyond the Byres Road. Yesterday, Maryhill defied the new world order to play a minor role on the epic stage of global politics. At 8.30am, shops lifted their shutters and the rattling noise of corrugated metal woke the dead. A queue of voters huddled together in the damp cold, waiting outside Woodside Hall in Glenfarg Street to cast a precious vote for Eelam, which means homeland in Tamil. Maryhill was chosen as a polling station in a global referendum organised by expatriate Tamils in their tense stand-off with Sri Lanka, a country that has resisted their independence. Woodside Hall has the air of dank municipality its more accustomed to jumble sales and ska discos than making history but the Maryhill referendum is a fascinating story of democracy withheld, with more plotlines than a political thriller and enough constitutional twists to send Scotlands political intelligentsia into paroxysms of near-erotic delight. My interest went beyond the observational. I was there to cast my vote. My wife, Shirani Sabaratnam, is a native Tamil speaker from Jaffna, on the northern peninsula of Sri Lanka. She still holds Sri Lankan citizenship and, as a qualifying spouse, I am allowed to participate in the poll. So, strange as it seems, the stubby pencil of democracy was rightfully mine. As I handed over my identity papers, I was acutely aware of the paradox. Voting Yes/Yes in the 1997 Scottish referendum on devolution seemed natural; voting in a referendum on Tamil independence was an unexpected experience. Unless there is a sea change in the factional Scottish parliament in the months ahead, it is a vote I will not be able to cast in a Scottish constitutional context, no matter how mundane the backdrop. The voters spoke of home, and traded memories. Some wore the red and yellow colours of Tamil nationalism. Coincidentally, in Maryhill, theyre the colours of the local football team, Partick Thistle, who were playing away in Inverness to avoid misunderstanding. Tamils have for decades fought a relentless battle with successive Sri Lankan governments, demanding greater civil rights. With well-organised communities in Toronto, London and Paris, the Tamils are the undisputed world champions of diaspora politics. Many thousands flocked to Westminster to disrupt the business of Parliament at the emotive heights of the civil war last year. Glasgows Tamil community is smaller but no less committed, with enclaves in Sighthill, Dumbarton Road and the east end. Some are students, some are professionals forced into economic migration, and many are political exiles or asylum-seekers displaced from the war-torn north of Sri Lanka. My wifes journey is part of the ragged jigsaw of the Tamil experience. She was born in Jaffna, raised in the nearby village of Vaddukoddai, and moved via Colombo to England. Her home village is now a Bannockburn of sorts, and a landmark in her peoples history. In 1976, Tamils triumphantly secured their biggest victory in modern electoral history. Every political party and all registered voters supported the so-called Vaddukoddai Resolution, a mandate for Tamil independence. Almost teasingly, it is a wordier variation of the statement Alex Salmond would dearly love to make for Scots. I aspire for the formation of the independent and sovereign state of Tamil Eelam ... on the basis that the Tamils in the island of Sri Lanka make a distinct nation, have a traditional homeland and have the right to self-determination. Comparisons end there. The Maryhill referendum is more pressing than kilted teachers at the Wallace Monument. The war in Sri Lanka has killed more than 90,000 people. More than 27,000 were Tamil fighters, many from the notorious Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, aka the Tamil Tigers. In January 2009, as the bitter war reached its cruel end-game, Sri Lankan troops captured Kilinochchi, which was the de facto administrative capital of resistance. It was, in almost every sense, the Tamil Culloden, and a dark cloud still hangs over the outcome, with accusations rife of genocide, war crimes and black propaganda. By tea-time, the hall was all but empty. Glasgows Tamil communities had been and gone, some scattered to low-paid jobs and high-rise flats, others back to professional lives as doctors, computer analysts and entrepreneurs. For the handful of indigenous Scots who had a reason to be there, it was a timely reminder that democracy is a precious gem that neither war nor national circumstances should tarnish.

An update to Pilots For 9/11 Truth Arlington Topography & Obstacles article. Watch 13 minute short here
I can't stress enough how important this piece is. This 13 minute clip alone is enough to prove the official story false. The official flight path is an aeronautic impossibility and the mathematical proof is right here. It has nothing to do with "ground effect". It boils down to what can only be fraudulent data from the alleged black box and centers on the final descent & pull-up required for the plane to descend from the top of the VDOT antenna and hit the light poles while ending up perfectly low and level as shown in the security video and required by the physical damage. Pay close attention to this critical information and I highly recommend you support Pilots for 9/11 Truth with a DVD purchase of the full feature presentation that also includes a full breakdown of virtually every single north side witnesses' POV in comparison to the official flight path. From the impossible final descent, to the lack of foundation damage, to the north side witnesses, this presentation is the ULTIMATE breakdown of the MOST critical and definitive issues proving a military deception in Arlington on 9/11/2001. An absolute MUST SEE! |

Amazing video; thanks for posting this. The more sophisticated the 3-D simulations of the possible flight paths, the more apparent it becomes that the FDR data was fabricated. I think the problem has always been just getting people to look at and understand the evidence. This video is great because it is so concise and requires no 'mental models,' which ARE required with spoken-word expositions of the evidence.
When I went to the Citgo station, my main goal was to create mental models of all possible flight paths from government and eyewitness accounts and compare them to determine which was the most plausible or possible. This video does all that for you, and can only serve to make it easier for people to understand the evidence. |

What is funny is how many ppl spent their time trying to debunk the eyewitnesses (that's what they do, and they call it a "theory") but never tried to analyze the real problems of the NTSB approach described by the official data.

I agree - I spend a lot of time trying to understand and figure out what the debunkers' position actually is on this, and you are right - they just won't accept the data, either the eyewitness accounts or hard FDR data. I read JREF forum posts regularly, and they spend almost all of their time ridiculing eyewitnesses, and generally making excuses for the data instead of honestly accepting it. One possible explanation for this is that CIT's evidence and the contradictions in the government's data itself is completely fatal to their arguments. Therefore, in order to hold the same position, the only option is to ridicule or make extremely elaborate "counter conspiracy" claims, such as claiming that the north side eyewitnesses are really a government-sponsored disinformation campaign. This is ridiculous for so many reasons, but it is the best that they have. I have also seen explanations of the north side witnesses as "aberrations of the norm" meaning that in a given population, there is a statistical certainty that there will be an equal amount of eyewitnesses for both the north and south side flight path. Aside from that being untrue, it makes no sense. This theory can make no predictions and is useless. If this were true, we would see the same "aberrations" in the accounts of eyewitnesses for all crimes, and we just don't see that. The JREF posters are also huge fans of pseudo-mathematics, and they think that if they write out some equations that look complicated, it can be used to "prove" their position. The problem is that the equations are improperly used and almost always have no bearing on the question at hand. "Bizarre Non-Sequitur" is the best term for those pseudo-scientific "papers" posted on the JREF forum. I actually read those "papers" very carefully and always find that they are just an extremely long-winded explanation of an uncontroversial and unrelated fact, or they are completely inaccurately applied physics or math concepts. Unfortunately, they are convincing to many because it appears to be "backed up" with irrefutable math equations that the posters never bother to actually check out for themselves. It's the classic "believe me because I'm the expert" argument that NIST and government in general uses all the time. They are always asking Craig and Aldo for "math" to prove their theory. Well, I would answer that geometry IS math and the eyewitnesses have proven that the official damage could not have been caused by flight 77 because it is geometrically impossible. |

In fact I'd like to use this thread as a reference for some of the other critical Pilots for 9/11 Truth presentations.
I encourage everyone to study all of this extremely important information that ultimately proves the the official data irreconcilable with the physical evidence and therefore fraudulent. 1. Initial analysis of 2006 released NTSB animation reconstruction of alleged FDR information depicting a north side approach (although still inconsistent with eyewitnesses): American 77 Final Maneuver. 2. Break down regarding why the RAW data showing a SOUTHERN approach is STILL inconsistent with the physical evidence due to pitch, roll, and descent & bank angles: American 77 Flight Path version2 - In 3D. 3. Technical explanation regarding why the 2006 released NTSB provided alleged FDR data does NOT completely stop depicting critical values 6 seconds before alleged impact: American 77 Flight Recorder Position Data 4. Animation reconstruction of Arlington National Cemetery employee William Middleton's point of view in relation to both the south and north side approaches: Middleton - Scene From 9/11: ATTACK ON THE PENTAGON 5. Mathematical formulas based on hypothetical NoC flight paths demonstrating aeronautical possibility: 9/11: THE NORTH FLIGHT PATH: Aerodynamically Possible - Witness Compatible |

The official version requires that the flight 77 passes the antenna top of the VDOT?
It is a certainty? In fact, the antenna determines the altitude of the aircraft at the Annex to the navy? |

The "official version" requires it to be much higher. Lowering it to the antenna is a generous hypothetical example but yeah, I suppose for the sake of argument you could say that it is possible to hypothetically be lower especially since the official flight path is actually a bit SOUTH of the antenna. Either way the witnesses prove the plane was on the north side of Columbia Pike and the gas station proving it did not hit. No other arguments are relevant when considering this independent verifiable evidence proving that the plane did not hit. |

It is an important point that i knew not.
I understand better the animation of PF9T. The PF9T simulates the impact of the plane with a great pole. Before road-sign. The great pole has not been touched in reality ... In animation of PF9T. Assuming a passage from the south of the VDOT antenna. The second pole is not touched. we know it was toppled in reality Pilot for 911 truth 01:05. But I'm not sure I understood. Even the official path does not include some elements that should be touched? Ie if the aircraft passes through the south of the VDOT antenna? Okay, if the passage above the antenna is required. The G are too important. It's simple and this is evidence. Nobody should be able to contradict this. |

For defenders of the official version, the witnesses are to be ignored. Therefore all points must be developed...So they will not choice. |

Looking for a New Lincoln MKT in your area?
CarGurus has 1,007 nationwide Lincoln MKT dealers with 541 new car listings.
Have you driven a 2014 Lincoln MKT?
2014 Lincoln MKT Overview
The recently renamed Lincoln Motor Company is Ford's luxury (or at the very least, premium) brand, struggling to compete with the likes of Cadillac, Mercedes-Benz, Audi and BMW. The Lincoln MKT large crossover has been one of its more successful attempts at remaking its luxury brand image. Lincoln's choice to name most of its models with the first two initials, "MK," harkens back to its "Mark" series, and as for the third letter, the "T" in MKT stands for Touring.
Lincoln has suggested that the MKT will replace the longstanding Lincoln Town Car, so you can catch the vibe this vehicle projects from that description. The 2014 Lincoln MKT is an impressively large, well-equipped crossover with a great back seat, ideal for driving several people around the city of your choice in cushy, cushy comfort. And if that ride quality sounds familiar, it's because the MKT shares its underpinnings with the large Ford Flex crossover, though the siblings look nothing alike. In fact, the MKT is truly its own animal with an impressive array of luxury and safety features comparable in both price and content to the Infiniti JX, Audi Q7 and Buick Enclave.
The new model year brought only a slight change to the grille and fascia and some additional colors and packaging choices. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but we think the facial tweaks help the exterior design of the new MKT look less gaudy and front-heavy than its previous form.
The MKT comes in only two flavors, both with V6 engines. The base trim's 3.7-liter V6 provides 300 horsepower to the wheels via a 6-speed automatic transmission. The smaller, more powerful MKT V6 twin-turbo engine borrows from Ford's now famous innovation, the EcoBoost engine, and powers the 3.5 EcoBoost AWD trim. This more-than-capable engine technology performs more like a V8, moving the MKT from zero to 60 in less than 7 seconds and creating 375 hp and 350 lb-ft of torque. It's also relatively fuel-efficient for its size and horsepower, getting an EPA rating of 16 mpg city/23 highway, only slightly lower than the regularly aspirated 3.7-liter engine, estimated at 17/25. The base trim comes in front-wheel-drive only, and the EcoBoost model is available only with AWD.
The real party's on the inside of this crossover, where an abundance of comfort and safety features beats much of the competition. The luxurious leather seating is firm enough for long road trips, but cushy enough for long naps, and the back seat includes options like heated and cooling captain's seats and a refrigerated center-console cooler. The power-folding third-row seats provide legroom enough for 2 average adults, but may be challenging to climb into, and the cargo space for luggage is ample.
The 2014 Lincoln MKT is packed with safety, as you would expect from such a passenger-centric vehicle, and has received Good scores from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) across all tests. Standard front, side and curtain airbags go all the way to the third row, stability and traction control, antilock brakes, a rear-view camera, blind-spot alert system and adaptive headlamps are also standard, along with an inflatable rear belt system. Optional safety items include active park assist, lane keeping assist, collision warning, adaptive cruise control, blind spot alert and a smart key that can be programmed to limit your young children in their quest for fast speeds and loud music.
The 2014 Lincoln MKT also takes full advantage of the technologies offered by Ford, including Sync connectivity, this year made even more user-friendly after last year's complaints were tallied. Overall, the MKT is an excellent alternative to the truck-based, gas-gulping SUVs of the past, as long as you can get behind both the fancy exterior design and the struggling American luxury brand that's trying to find relevance on the flip side of a major recession.

As part of an EPSRC funded research project (GRK52522) entitled 'National Multi-Modal Travel Forecasts', a review of the demand forecasting literature has been conducted. The principal aim of this project is to develop a set of national and regional travel demand forecasts by land-based modes. Such models will contain a set of own and cross-elasticities which can be used in strategic demand forecasting. A review of the literature, alongside fresh empirical work, makes an important contribution to this. A review of aggregate models is contained in Clark (1996). Such models are based on collective behaviour such as market shares or travel volumes. In contrast, disaggregate models make the individual decision maker the unit of observation. Within this project, Wardman (1997a) has provided a review of disaggregate mode choice models developed in the inter-urban context in Great Britain whilst Whelan (1997) has provided a review of car ownership modelling and forecasting.
This paper provides a review of comparatively recent research involving disaggregate mode choice models which have been developed in Great Britain in the urban context. The emphasis of this research is on cross elasticities for three reasons:
Mode choice models are well suited to the estimation of cross-elasticities;
The own elasticities provided by disaggregate mode choice models are underestimates since they do not account for behavioural responses other than mode switching (Oum et al., 1992);
There has long been a view (Dodgson, 1991) that there is insufficient evidence regarding the degree of interaction between modes and this view remains (Acutt and Dodgson, 1995; Wardman et al., 1997)
In contrast, aggregate models are well suited to the analysis of own elasticities since they take into account changes in the total number of trips yet they are generally limited in the extent to which they examine inter-modal competition and hence generally provide little evidence on cross-elasticities.
In this paper, we have drawn upon studies made available to us as part of a review study conducted for the Department of Transport into the value of time (Wardman, 1997b). Much of this evidence was provided on the basis that the identity of the studies remains anonymous. We have therefore provided the key parameter estimates from 34 studies without revealing the identity of these

LANCASTER — There is no shortage of ideas on redeveloping the city�s downtown business district.
Different people have different ideas. For example, The Bicycle Corner owner Joe Rempe said it�s time to stop looking at the downtown as a historic district. Others think promoting historic attractions is the way to go.
But David Scheffler, a Destination Downtown Lancaster/Special Improvement District board member, said vacant properties need to be addressed first. Twelve Ohio State University students have studied the downtown since January and suggested legislation forcing property owners to keep their buildings occupied or face fines.
Scheffler said such legislation would help decrease the number of vacant buildings.
�It�s kind of a mixed bag,� he said of the downtown. �We have a very attractive downtown with a lot of businesses prospering.�
However, Scheffler said the vacant buildings might present a confusing picture to downtown visitors and make them wonder if there is a problem with the downtown.
The OSU students tried to answer that and other questions. At Mayor Dave Smith�s request, they completed a 155-page report on the downtown and looked at economic development, vacant property strategies, parking, marketing, entertainment and other elements of city planning.
The class, from OSU�s Knowlton School of Architecture, worked under auxiliary faculty member Chad Gibson, the senior planning officer of Upper Arlington.
Paperback Exchange owner Leanne McClellan said the students did a good job on the project, but she said she thought a lot of their ideas were unrealistic.
�But they were nice ideas to kick around,� she said.
The issue: Is there enough downtown parking?
Local idea for solution: Open up some private lots.
Ohio State recommendation: Build a large centralized parking lot.
City Council President Ken Culver reacted with mock shock when the OSU students said there was actually too much parking downtown instead of not enough. They said the problem is that most of the parking is in private lots that provide no access for downtown shoppers and visitors. The students said the signs warning of tow-away zones in private lots keep people from visiting downtown.
Paperback Exchange owner Leanne McClellan said there is adequate downtown parking, but it�s not being used properly. She suggested opening a county-owned lot between West Chestnut Street and Main Street to the public would be a big help in ridding the perception of a downtown parking problem.
�On-the-street parking is busy sometimes during the middle of the day,� McClellan said. �But most of the time it isn�t even really full then. I don�t think parking is as big an issue as people think it is. Generally, there is a parking space. You�re just not always going to get immediately in front of the store you want to be in.�
Mayor Dave Smith and McClellan said people who will walk from their car to a mall and think nothing of it balk at walking the same distance downtown.
�The perception of downtown is if you can�t park in view of the front door on Main Street or Broad Street or Columbus Street, then there�s no parking,� Smith said. � We�re looking out the window right now, and we can see open parking spaces at 2:30 in the afternoon.�
Smith also said about 8,000 people come to the city during the annual summer ArtWalk event and are able to find parking, as do the 1,000 to 1,500 people who watch downtown summer band concerts. Additionally, he said about 2,000 people work downtown each day and have no problem finding parking spaces.
�If someone wants to be somewhere in their car, they will find a place to park and they will go to business or activity,� Smith said.
In order change the perception of a parking problem, Smith said the city needs to work with property owners to open up off-street parking. For example, he said five or 10 spaces could be set aside for the public.
The Bicycle Corner owner Joe Rempe said there is not enough parking and the city must get rid of two-hour parking downtown or charge for parking to let people stay as long as they want.
�Because what if there is a place to eat?� he said. �I know sometimes two hours doesn�t cut it, at least that�s my feeling.�
The issue: Are more entertainment options needed?
Local idea for solution: More alcohol-free options. Change the current way of thinking.
Ohio State recommendation: Create a Community Entertainment District that would create entertainment, retail, educational, sporting, social, or arts establishments as spelled out by the Ohio Revised Code. A CED would allow for reduced-cost liquor licenses within it.
The Bicycle Corner owner Joe Rempe said other than bars, there is not much for downtown entertainment. He said one way to solve that is stop looking at downtown as a historical district.
�Things are changing,� he said. �If they (business owners) want something changed, you�ve got to do it. That�s how we progress.�
Paperback Exchange owner Leanne McClellan said except for going to a bar, there is nothing to do downtown.
�By the same token, though, even when we try to stay open after 5 o�clock, nobody comes down here,� she said. �So it�s kind of a catch-22.�
She said it would be nice for some entertainment options that are not alcohol-related or even retail-related. She suggested a coffee bar or a classic movie theater.
�Some place to go where people could go hang out without having to get drunk,� McClellan said. �Then I think retail places would be justified in staying open late because the traffic would be here. But to ask your average small business person to stay open more hours a day and maybe pick up a customer a week out of it is just not going to fly.�
A coffee house at Art and Clay on Main has opened and more are planned to open downtown.
Mayor Dave Smith said younger people might like to meet friends for food and drink. That is available downtown, just maybe not as much as the OSU students would have preferred.
�So, they know what they liked,� he said. �They just think we need more of that.�
Smith said the Destination Downtown Lancaster and the Lancaster-Fairfield County Chamber of Commerce are trying to supplement entertainment by having beer available at some events because that is what younger adults want.
�So they have the beer gardens, and they have been very successful,� he said. �We kind of understand what needs to be done. We just need to find the private sector businesses that either want expand the businesses they have or get new businesses to come in.�
Destination Downtown Lancaster/Special Improvement District board member David Scheffler said the OSU students and a previous survey of area residents both pointed to the need for more eating and social gathering places.
The issue: Is there enough housing downtown?
Local idea for solution: Use upper floors of vacant buildings for housing.
Ohio State recommendation: The same as the local idea.
�Well, if there is housing, I haven�t seen it,� The Bicycle Corner owner Joe Rempe said. �With some of these buildings you could do loft apartments. I think that would be great.�
Paperback Exchange owner Leanne McClellan said it would be nice to see the upper floors of more downtown building turned into housing.
�I do see a trend in the younger people of going to more urban environments,� she said. �My son lives in Seattle and he lives in that kind of environment. But I don�t necessarily think we�re going to get them down here unless we have some restaurants and coffee bars and some things to offer them.�
She said building more upstairs housing might be a good place to start in redeveloping downtown.
Mayor Dave Smith said the OSU students counted about 900 living spaces downtown and near the downtown area.
�And we know that if you go another half block in any direction, you get into heavy residential very quickly,� he said.
Smith said the success some building owners have had proves there is a demand for downtown housing. He said the OSU students said they would prefer living in brick buildings with hardwood floors, which some downtown buildings have.
�A lot of what the students are talking about, and what we already know about ourselves, is that there are people living close to downtown,� Smith said. �We just need to take more advantage of the downtown properties that are empty on the second floor and third floor and get them in a position to be used for residential.�
The issue: What is the best way to market downtown?
Local idea for solution: Fill vacant buildings to give the city a better image.
Ohio State recommendation: Improve the city�s website, increase activities in city parks, fill vacant buildings, improve downtown signage.
The OSU students said Lancaster has the reputation as a tired, drive-through city. The Bicycle Corner owner Joe Rempe said progressive change is the way to eliminate that perception.
�Get the stuff in here first before you market the downtown,� Rempe said. �Obviously, offer some incentives for businesses to come here. You can�t make it rough on people who want to come down here and set their business up.�
Paperback Exchange owner Leanne McClellan agreed with the OSU students� perception of the city.
�You reach the Gateway and the first thing you see is a a vacant, overgrown lot, which I understand is a work in progress,� she said. �But once you get past the Gateway, unless something is done to address the empty buildings and the state of repair of some of the buildings, we�re not going to get anywhere. We really need to spruce up the immediate downtown area and get that really, really looking good. Or otherwise, you have a gateway to nothing.�
The Gateway is at Main Street and Memorial Drive. Wagenbrenner Development, of Columbus, is cleaning up and making it available to someone wanting to build on it.
Mayor Dave Smith disagrees with the perception of Lancaster as a drive-through city.
�Every town has its own image,� he said. �I know that when we were part of Main Street Ohio and Main Street Lancaster we would have a lot of out-of-town visitors come in, and we would hold some seminars here. They would tell us what a wonderful downtown we have, be it the parks, the museums, the older buildings downtown � what a wonderful town we have. And most of us think that is very true. I think the students were saying, �If you want to improve things, you need to step it up a little bit.��
But he said the vacant downtown buildings never look good and building owners should improve the buildings or find tenants for them.
�So if you find new tenants, hopefully that will help with the store-front issue,� Smith said. �At the same time, some of the facades could use an upgrade or a facelift. Fresh painting. Maybe some window panels exchanged.�
He said that is what city will do with the Columbian building as it moves some city courts and offices into it.
Smith said filling the vacant buildings, including their second or third floors, would help with downtown�s image.
The issue: What is the best plan to develop the former Lancaster Glass site?
Local idea for solution: Find a large anchor business.
Ohio State recommendations: Use various strategies to ensure the Gateway encourages residents and visitors to further explore downtown.
Ohio State University auxiliary faculty member Chad Gibson said any downtown redevelopment should start with the former Lancaster Glass site.
Some people want to build a performing arts center there, but Gibson said the site is not the right place for it. The Bicycle Corner Owner Joe Rempe disagreed.
�That will attract people to come downtown,� he said. �Newark has it with the Midland Theater. And you could have your parking there, as well.�
Paperback Exchange owner Leanne McClellan said it is most important to find the right business to fill the site because it will be the first impression of downtown. She said the Gateway is the most important component as far as visibility, but something is needed beyond it.
Because the area is called the Gateway, Mayor Dave Smith said whatever occupies it should be profound.
�Since it�s a private-sector opportunity, Joe Williams and Eric Wagenbrenner from Wagenbrenner (Development) have been very open as they go through the mitigation and cleanup of the property,� he said. �If somebody wanted to buy and build today, they�d have to wait because the mitigation is still going through, the test wells are still being monitored.�
When they are ready to develop, Smith said Williams and Wagenbrenner are looking for one big notable anchor business.
�They have a handful of second-tier, smaller entities that would love to be near and around a big entity,� Smith said. �The big entity could be a hotel. It could be somebody that has a big, notable franchise chain for a restaurant that could be the big anchor there. So there are some opportunities.�
He said the former Lancaster Glass site has also been considered as the home for the jail the Fairfield County commissioners eventually want to build.
�It�s idealistic that the Wagenbrenner property be the gateway,� Smith said. �We don�t need a little gas station in there. We don�t need a one-story, non-architecturally unique type building.�

Preventing Swimmer's Ear
A dip in the pool feels great, but if the water's contaminated and it goes in your ear, you might end up with a painful condition called swimmer's ear.
"Boy, it really hurts. and it hurts when you open and close your jaw, because you're compressing the canal. And, it hurts when you pull your ear," said Dr. Ricardo Martinez, and emergency room physician.
Swimmer's ear is not the same as a common childhood middle ear infection.
"If water is stuck in your ear, skin begins to break down," said Dr. Martinez. "You can get an inflammation. But, you can also get an infection because of the dirty water that you get in there from an infected pool or infected water. "
To prevent swimmer's ear, the centers for disease control and prevention recommends these tips:
*A pool or hot tub should have good chlorine and ph levels.
*Don't swim in lake or ocean areas closed because of pollution.
*Avoid putting objects in your ear, including fingers and cotton swabs. *Dry your ears after swimming.
"If you can't get the water out, put a couple of drops of alcohol or some other medication that helps dry it out.," said Dr. Martinez.
If the pain persists, see a doctor. Swimmer's ear can be treated with antibiotic ear drops.

DUAL REVIEW: The Lotus Palace by Jeannie Lin
It is a time of celebration in the Pingkang li, where imperial scholars and bureaucrats mingle with beautiful courtesans. At the center is the Lotus Palace, home of the most exquisite courtesans in China…
Maidservant Yue-ying is not one of those beauties. Street-smart and practical, she's content to live in the shadow of her infamous mistress—until she meets the aristocratic playboy Bai Huang.
Bai Huang lives in a privileged world Yue-ying can barely imagine, let alone share, but as they are thrown together in an attempt to solve a deadly mystery, they both start to dream of a different life. Yet Bai Huang's position means that all she could ever be to him is his concubine— will she sacrifice her pride to follow her heart?
Jayne:I don't think we've ever dual reviewed a Lin novel and I was eager to see what you thought of her latest one. "The Lotus Palace" is almost two books in one. It's a love story between two people of vastly differing social backgrounds as well as a murder mystery. The romance worked fairly well for me but the mystery didn't grab my attention as much as I might have wished.
Sunita: I really enjoyed your review of her previous book, The Sword Dancer, so it's great to do this one together! I agree that the mystery wasn't particularly unusual, and by the end I didn't really care whodunit, but the setting and the romance were so appealing to me, especially as events unfolded in the second half, that I was really caught up in the different aspects of the book.
Jayne: One thing I can always count on when reading her work is that I will almost effortlessly learn a lot. Details, large and small, are seamlessly woven into the narrative and I never feel as if I'm being force fed every little thing she learned during her research. Recently I read something on the BBC website about the difficulty of the exams Chinese scholars who sought government positions had to face. In the struggles of Bai Huang, I can see this come to life. 20+ years later, I still remember the grueling study schedules my accounting major sorority sisters set for themselves in order to pass the CPA exam but I don't think they had anything on what Bai Huang endures – for the fourth time. It's too bad that women couldn't have taken it as his sister Wei-Wei looks like she would have aced the test the first go round.
Sunita: Wei-Wei is a terrific character; she starts out as the stereotypical cute younger sister but you realize quickly what Bai Huang knows, that she is very smart and very focused. She accepts that she can't be a scholar the way a man can, but she still manages to use her talents.
The setting is so richly realized, even more so than in The Sword Dancer, whose worldbuilding I thought was excellent. I agree that there is no sense of infodumping, just the careful evocation of a community and its geographical and political context. Because of that, the first half of the book was a bit slow-moving for me. We learn about the Pinkang li, the quarter where the courtesans live, and we get to know the inhabitants and customers of the Lotus Palace. What I like about this approach is that by the time the romance really gets going, we know Yue-ying and Bai Huang as individuals, so we're rooting for a happy ending because they really fit together, not because they are each the other's designated Beloved Object.
Jayne:The Historical Undone novella "Capturing the Silken Thief" introduced me to the world of Tang Dynasty courtesans and the people who worked with them. "The Lotus Palace" takes this many steps further and is a full-on immersion into this environment. Yue-ying lives in the background of this pleasure palace. She and her mistress Mingyu were sold into this life and share a bond no outsider understands. Yue-ying knows how lucky she is to have been redeemed from being a common prostitute in a brothel even if her marked face disqualifies her from the heights that Mingyu has reached.
I enjoyed reading about Yue-ying. She's practical, hardworking and doesn't stand for any nonsense from Bai Huang. She serves as his introduction to the world of these servant girls and teaches him some respect for those who aren't rich and privileged. This is actually my favorite aspect of the book. An experience in Bai Huang's past has already stripped away the veneer of the beautiful illusion the courtesans project but meeting Yue-ying makes him truly see the harsh reality behind the glitter.
Sunita: Yue-ying is a terrific character. She's been dealt a very tough hand, but she's neither downtrodden nor feisty. She accepts the world as it has been made for her and she appreciates the good things in her life. Her relationship with Mingyu (who is another nuanced, interesting character) is clearly more than just courtesan-servant, but we don't find out precisely what it is until the second half of the book. Yue-ying is understandably unromantic, but she's also loving and interested in the world around her.
Jayne: One thing I loved was Yue-ying's visits to the local temple including stopping to see an ancient (I assume) sea turtle who lives there.
Sunita: I did too, and it's typical of Lin's approach that was seems like a trivial interlude featuring the turtle turns out to be important, both in showing us a side of Yue-ying and to the plot. As for our hero, Bai Huang is clearly more than he at first appears, but I wasn't sure exactly how he would turn out. In the second half of the book I realized that he fit a common historical romance archetype: the under-achieving aristocratic eldest son who has failed to live up to expectations but wants to do better. But he wasn't predictable in this story because his background and context meant that his family interactions, his parents' expectations, and his own choices were identifiably Chinese, not British or even generically Western. It's a great example of how a little-used cultural context provides a palette of character motivations and actions that is the same in some ways and very different in others.
Jayne: Still, he's a bit of the romantic in their growing relationship. She has to bring him back down to earth. It felt realistic that to her, sex would be devoid of emotion while he would get wrapped up the hearts and rainbows. And while her feelings changed more quickly than might be reasonable, I appreciate that Lin didn't have one good sexual experience "cure" her. It took two. Oh, well.
Sunita: Those are really great points. The "bad sex" scene has the shape of other bad sex scenes in romance novels, but the particulars are all about these two characters. I admit I was also surprised at the relatively rapid transition, but by genre standards I suppose it's not that fast.
Jayne: The roadblocks on the way to their HEA are formidable. He is of a renowned family of wealth and means. She is the daughter of a poor farmer who sold her. His family has already arranged a marriage for him and she resists becoming his concubine because she's already been owned in the past and, now that she's free, she'll never submit to that again. As it got closer to the end of the book, I was biting my nails as I wondered how Lin would get them past this impossible impasse. A clever woman – yah! – saves the day. I hope she will get her own wonderful hero at some point.
Sunita: I honestly did not know how Lin was going to get this couple to an HEA. She laid the groundwork for why Yue-ying didn't want to be a concubine so well that I launch into my usual "Oh, just go ahead, you'll be set for life" lecture. Yes, there was a way to be a content woman as a concubine, but Yue-ying wasn't going to be able to manage it, and neither would Bai Huang be able to play his part. And given that both she and Bai Huang knew that he wouldn't be happy if he didn't fulfill his family obligations, I didn't see a way out. But there was, it was completely believable and, in retrospect, it was obvious.
Jayne: Yes, very obvious but very realistic and nothing that made me roll my eyes and think,"Oh, just go with it, Jayne!" As much as I enjoyed the romance though, the mystery didn't work so well for me. It just didn't make sense to me that Mingyu and Huilan, who had both been in this world of owned women for years, would have banded together over this one incident out of what surely must have been a similar background shared by many of these courtesans and prostitutes. The nitty gritty of solving the case didn't differ from many mysteries I've already read and wasn't as interesting to me as learning more about the Tang Dynasty.
Sunita: I don't disagree with you at all on this, but I nevertheless went along with it. I didn't have much of a sense of Huilan, but I felt that Mingyu had more intense emotions than she expressed, so her sudden decision seemed somewhat plausible. And while the procedural aspect was pretty standard, I liked the character of Constable Wu a great deal, especially his interactions with Yue-ying.
Jayne: The romance between a down-to-earth heroine and a more starry eyed hero "made" this book for me. The "how would she manage to get them together and solve the realistic conflict she's set up" dilemma kept me glued to the story. The murder mystery – eh, not so much. I hope Wei-Wei will show up again in a future book and that we'll see more of Yue-ying managing to keep Huang anchored and steady. B-
Sunita: I think that there are definitely readers who have similar reactions to yours, and I think you make a good argument for them. Nevertheless, when the romance started to really take off, and Yue-ying and Bai Huang had to balance their happiness at being together with the uncertainty of how they could have a future, I fell completely in love with this book. I think it's in part because I deeply appreciated the way the context and the language reflected a more formal, hierarchical society while still showing the way romantic and familial love shaped people's motivations and actions. It felt utterly authentic to me, and I don't have that reaction very often. The way Lin took traditional romance archetypes and storylines and embedded them in an unfamiliar (for romance) context impressed me a lot. That's probably why I find this to be her best book yet, and I expect that she will get even better. A-

Good things already from NZ Charter Schools
Even apparent Charter School opponents have had to acknowledge some good progress and potential on this front already. From the Save our Schools team:Â http://saveourschoolsnz.
At the Quality Public Education Coalition forum, chairman Bill Courtney caused heads to swivel when he greeted Alwyn Poole in the audience before giving an update on charter schools. Poole is the principal of Mt Hobson Middle School. He's also a member of the Villa Education Trust, whose South Auckland Middle School is one of the first in the charter schools pilot.
Courtney's talk used South Auckland Middle School's figures to explain how funding has been allocated. He also made the point that the charter school model has been hijacked by the privatisation movement. One of the first proponents of the idea, Albert Shanker, saw it as a way to allow teachers greater autonomy, to engage the students who weren't being served by normal schools
This sounds like what Poole's schools have been able to do: Poole said he works with children with needs like dyslexia or Asperger's, or kids who need a "boost" at middle school level. He was asked why couldn't he achieve it within the system as a special character school. In 2002, that option was "blocked". They were looking for "ways of expanding what we do", so applied for the partnership school option.  Read more »

FSU Hosts "Summer Video Fair" to Teach Directing/Acting for the Camera
The workshop will be an intense, hands-on experience in which participants can learn techniques of directing and acting for multiple and single cameras, used in shooting sitcoms and soap operas. Special guest artist for the fair is Hollywood producer-director and seven-time Emmy award winner H. Wesley Kenney.
Kenney was a director of the groundbreaking sitcom "All in the Family." He later directed several TV pilots, including the popular show "The Jeffersons." He is best known in the industry for serving as executive producer and director of the popular daytime dramas "Days of our Lives," "General Hospital" and "The Young and the Restless," where he was honored by the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences with seven Emmy awards for excellence. Kenney has been a professor with the UCLA Film and TV Department where he teaches multiple-camera techniques.
The Video Fair is the brainchild of Dr. Robert Scott, chair of the FSU Department of Mass Communication, and Edward Mallory, FSU Artist in Residence.
Mallory's 15-year run as Dr. Bill Horton on "Days of our Lives" won him "Best Actor in Daytime" accolades by Daytime Magazine in 1971 and 1972. Mallory also served as a director of "Days," and after leaving the show, he directed "The Young and the Restless," "General Hospital," "All My Children," "Rituals," "The Judge" and "Generations." He also produced many shows for the A&E network, including biographies of Joseph P. Kennedy and Hedda Hopper. Mallory has conducted classes in acting and directing for multiple camera for the Professional Artists Group in Hollywood.
"Directing for Camera" and "Acting for Camera" are the main focuses of the Video Fair. The program has been designed for directors who are interested in multiple-camera techniques and actors who will work in the selected scenes. All students in the "Directing for Camera" program will rotate from camera operators, cable pullers, technical directors, assistant directors and directors, under the tutelage of Kenney. Both Kenney and Mallory will instruct the acting portion of the program.
All classes will be held in the Guild Center on the FSU campus. The FSU Cable TV-3 studio, a fully equipped studio with a booth and camera, will be the center for the session.
Tuition, room and board for the week is $850. Tuition without room and board is $450.
There will be screenings of videos related to the sessions and the final scenes of student directors will also be viewed and critiqued. A farewell party will be held on the final evening, and actors and directors will receive DVDs of their scenes, as well as certificates of participation.
"It will be a rewarding summer session," says Mallory. "Graduates will gain a valuable insight into the realities of 'big-time television.'"
For more information and registration, call the FSU Department of Mass Communication at 301-687-3049.
FSU is committed to making all of its programs, services and activities accessible to persons with disabilities. You may request accommodations through the ADA Compliance Office at 301-687-4102, TDD 301-687-7955.

These Baked Creamy Chicken Taquitos made it around the blogosphere a couple of times before I actually whipped them up. I wish I didn't wait too long, cause they were delicious! Perfect for dinner, served with some black beans and a light salad, they would also be terrific appetizers/finger food when guests are over. Once you have the chicken cooked, they only take a few minutes to put together. I'd imagine they would freeze well (prior to cooking) if you wanted to make a few batches for a later time.
Baked Creamy Chicken Taquitos
by OurBestBites.com
by OurBestBites.com
Printable Recipe
- 1/3 C (3 oz) cream cheese
- 1/4 C green salsa
- 1T fresh lime juice
- 1/2 t cumin
- 1 t chili powder
- 1/2 t onion powder
- 1/4 t granulated garlic
- 3 T chopped cilantro
- 2 T sliced green onions
- 2 C shredded cooked chicken
- 1 C grated pepperjack cheese
- small corn tortillas
- kosher salt
- cooking spray
- Heat oven to 425. Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly coat with cooking spray.
- Heat cream cheese in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds so it's soft and easy to stir. Add green salsa, lime juice, cumin, chili powder, onion powder and granulated garlic. Stir to combine and then add cilantro and green onions. Add chicken and cheese and combine well. (You can prepare up to this step ahead of time. Just keep the mixture in the fridge.)
- Work with a few tortillas at a time and heat in the microwave until they are soft enough to roll without cracking. It helps to place them between damp paper towels. Usually 20-30 seconds will do it. If you find yours are cracking when you roll them or come unrolled right away, just try heating them longer and try the paper towel thing.
- Place 2-3 T of chicken mixture on the lower third of a tortilla, keeping it about 1/2 inch from the edges.
- Then roll it up as tight as you can.
- Place seam side down on the baking sheet. Lay all of the taquitos on the baking sheet and make sure they are not touching each other. Spray the tops lightly with cooking spray or an oil mister and sprinkle some kosher salt on top.
- Place pan in oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until crisp and the ends start to get golden brown.

Courtesy Cash Overdraft Protection Disclosure
Federal law now requires members to opt-in and sign the below consent form in order for the credit union to pay your overdrafts (also referred to as Courtesy Pay or E-Paid NSF) for transactions including ATM withdrawals and debit card purchases you make at a store, online or by telephone.
Explanation of Overdrafts
An overdraft occurs when you do not have enough money in your account to cover a transaction but the credit union elects to cover the cost for you in return for a fee. We will not offer courtesy cash overdraft protection unless you agree to opt-in for the coverage.
We will not authorize and pay overdrafts for the following types of transactions unless you ask us to:
- ATM transactions
- Every day debit card transactions
Standard Overdraft practices that come with your account
We will authorize and pay overdrafts for the following types of transactions:
- Checks and other transactions made using your checking account number
- ACH items
We pay overdrafts at our discretion. Having overdraft coverage does not guarantee that we will pay your overdrafts. If we do not authorize and pay an overdraft, your transaction will be declined.
- We will charge you a fee of up to $35 each time we pay an overdraft. The fee is $37.50 for New Start Checking™ accounts.
- Also, if your account is overdrawn for eight or more consecutive business days, we will charge an additional $2.50 per day.
There is no limit on the total fees we can charge you for overdrawing your account.
Revoke Consent
You or any joint account owner has the right to revoke your opt-in consent at any time. Simply visit any branch location or contact us. Upon receipt of your revocation we will discontinue your Courtesy Cash Overdraft Protection as soon as possible.
Cheaper Alternative
Did you know we offer other overdraft protection plans, such as a link to a savings account or line of credit, which may be less expensive than our standard overdraft practices? To learn more, call or speak with a Financial Service Representative at your nearest branch location.

originates from the words "bitch" and "idiot." describes girls between the ages of 15-22 who typically are mildy attractive but have no other selling points. some characteristics of a bitti are overuse of the phrase "oh my god" and the word "like," the inability to hold an intelligent conversation, usually blonde hair and fake tanned to an ungodly extreme, after 1-2 drinks they are "so drunk" that the next dick they see just accidently falls into their mouth, and lastly, many have omnisexual names like, jordan, sam, jo or tyler.

Rafael Furcal had to leave last night's Cards-Astros game due to a tight left hamstring. It seems now that he's going to need a coupe of days to recover. Since there are only a couple of days in the season that means that the Cardinals will have to win or lose the wild card without him.
In his place: likely Nick Punto, according to Matt Leach of MLB.com. No word on whether Ryan Theriot will play a part. Which is strange because, after all, the Cardinals were in first place back when he was the starting shortstop.
Oh well. It is what it is.

This is disappointing…
With some of the errors he has made over the last 2 weeks to kill games, I thought maybe he was tanking on purpose because his heart still rests in ATL.
Now it's just one more thing working against the Bravos…
