It's finally time—after three months of spirited competition, we are excited to announce the results of the 2013 ASPCA Rachael Ray $100K Challenge. Division 5 champion The Animal Foundation of Las Vegas, Nevada will take home the $100,000 grand prize in grant funding from the ASPCA. The organization accomplished an increase of 1,055 animals' lives saved over the same period during 2012. Congratulations!
The following division leaders will each receive $25,000 in ASPCA grant funding:
Division 1: Washington Animal Rescue League of Washington, D.C., with an increase of 326 lives saved over the prior year
Division 2: Texas Humane Heroes of Leander, Texas with an increase of 389 lives saved over the prior year
Division 3: HALO Animal Rescue of Phoenix, Arizona with an increase of 824 lives saved over the prior year
Division 4: Citizens for Animal Protection of Houston, Texas with an increase of 625 lives saved over the prior year
All told, the 49 Challenge contestants saved 56,379 animals' lives over the course of the exciting three-month challenge—a combined increase of 12,050 lives saved compared to the same period during 2012. We are truly impressed by the dedication, hard work and creativity these shelters employed in order to find loving homes for thousands of animals in need. Congratulations to our Challenge winners, and to all those who participated. You deserve a round of applause!
Lori, I so agree. Only NO KILL shelters should be allowed to participate. Good point.
Only no kill shelters should be recognized and honored for their work. They have the welfare of the animals at heart and also making sure they are placed in a good home.
Charging $10.00 just to get rid of the animals will save them the cost of killing and disposing of them. They buyer has wide choice what to do with these poor cats or dogs. Cats may be killed and skinned for their furs. Dogs could be placed in shooting ranges, dog fighting rings or tortured just for fun. $10.00 is not much for a cheap enough for that.
Yes, I was holding my breath to see if a popular upscale organization from South Florida was going to be on their list. They give the appearance of rescue, but also enable repeat hoarders who "board" animals of the elderly in horrendous conditions for cash, including helping them evade law enforcement. Unless you've lived in the area with some of these "rescue" org, it's difficult to know the real truth.
Hi, I am looking to adopt right now, here in South Florida. What organization are you referring to, so I can avoid it? I want to adopt from an organization that truly helps animals. Thanks.
Congrats to all the winners! The dogs and cats are truly the winners in this case, so way to go!!!
You are absolutely correct. Kudos to you for bringing this to everyone's attention.
Diane, Thanks so much to you and other caring citizens looking out for animals. The Animal Foundation saved 1,055 more lives this summer than last summer. While we all acknowledge they still have a long way to go, the $100K Challenge was designed to help and support shelters in making dramatic steps in the right direction. Of the 49 competing shelters, The Animal Foundation achieved the biggest increase in lives saved.
It may be helpful to know that the ASPCA has conducted research on fee waived adoptions. We discovered that people who don't have to pay an adoption fee are every bit as bonded to their new 4-legged family member as those who pay a fee. Bear in mind, while the fee may be waived (or in the case of TAF reduced) the adoption criteria and counseling process is not waived. Our research also shows that such promotions dramatically increase adoptions. We have followed the return rates at Challenge shelters and learned that in nearly all cases return rates have actually gone down or remained consistent.
Sadly there are still tens of thousands of animals at risk of not finding homes every day. We're working hard to help shelters and rescues save more lives.
Absolutely right. The ASPCA is here to support those shelters become better! I am appalled by the negativity on this board. Just because many shelters don't currently have the resources and know-how to go NO KILL does not mean that they don't have compassion. It also does not mean that they want to improve! I worked at a kill shelter and I have worked at a no kill shelter and I have had just as much compassion while working at each. The big difference was resourcefulness, community support and MONEY! This is a problem we are only going to solve by supporting each other. Lets stop attacking kill shelters and ask what we can do to help them! I
Very Valid Point. In Mi there is the Oceana County Animal Control who also won an award but had over 100 animals that became "missing" no record of where they went, we assume to labs or outsourced to other venues, but their records show them coming in but not going out. That did not count to their award either. The goals should be to save animals but the recordkeeping should also consider those missing (without paperwork & put down) Many areas have larger populations of animals. So the put downs and the lives saved should be considered.
Sorry, but I'm going to have to disagree here, Animal Foundation has made HUGE improvements over the last several years. They are up against it here in "Fabulous" Las Vegas, a city with a population of 1.8 million that takes in the same number of unwanted pets that LA County with a population of 10 million and six shelters does. Considering they take in 100 to 200 animals a DAY, they are doing a remarkable job against horrific odds. Kudos to AF and the ASPCA for the $100K Challenge...

For local boy, it's a great day to be a Knight
Kamiak's Nathan McCarty, whose dream was to renovate his school's baseball field, has a day he will remember for the rest of his life.

Kamiak baseball player Nathan McCarty (right) along with (left to right) former UW basketball player Donald Watts, former Sounder Taylor Graham, Washington football player Austin Seferian-Jenkins and former Mariner Dan Wilson during Monday's ceremony at Kamiak High School.
Of course, the chance to play baseball on a beautiful afternoon, to get a hit and score a run, and to help Kamiak beat cross-district rival Mariner simply made an already great day even better for McCarty.
Recalling the day he was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, McCarty said, "Oct. 13, 2011 was probably the worst day of my life. But this is the complete opposite. This is one of the best days of my life, and it's one I'll remember for the rest of my life."
When Make-A-Wish Washington approached McCarty, a 16-year-old Kamiak junior, with the offer of a special gift, he dismissed the suggestion of taking his family on a memorable vacation trip. What he really wanted, he said, was to have his high school baseball field improved.
His idea follows a similar wish by former South Whidbey High School baseball player Colton Wilson, who had the same request in 2007.
On Sunday, a crew of some 200-300 people went to work at Kamiak, and on Monday their efforts were on display for the Knights' final regular-season home game.
There are new wind screens on the fences down the foul lines and across the outfield, new padding behind home plate, new screens enclosing the two dugouts, larger bleachers for the visiting team, and new rain covers for home plate and the pitcher's mound.
"It's exactly what I wanted to see," McCarty said. "It looks absolutely perfect. I'd say this is one of the best fields in Wesco, and probably in the Northwest."
Before the game, there was a ceremony emceed by former Seattle Mariners catcher Dan Wilson. Shannon McCarty, Nathan's mother, recalled for the crowd those dark moments back in 2011 when her son's strange symptoms were finally and shockingly identified.
"It was suddenly something much more serious than we thought," she said. "Those days were scary. ... It was tough, but we've made it a long way."
Nathan McCarty is roughly halfway through chemotherapy treatments that will continue until January of 2015. Those sessions are difficult, said David McCarty, Nathan's father, "but he is really determined. The way he plays baseball is the way (he has faced treatment)."
In addition to Wilson, there were other special guests on hand. McCarty is a University of Washington fan, so Make-A-Wish arranged a visit by two Huskies -- one past, one present. Former UW basketball player Donald Watts and Austin Sefarian-Jenkins, the starting tight end on the UW football team, both addressed the crowd, and Sefarian-Jenkins made sure Nathan knew that "we are not the superstars today. You are."
And Sefarian-Jenkins had another surprise, too. "He gave me his phone number," Nathan McCarty said with a grin of disbelief. "I have it in my phone right now, which is crazy."
Kamiak coach Steve Merkley made sure to have McCarty in the starting lineup as the designated hitter. He came close to a hit in his first at bat with a sharp line drive, but unfortunately it was right to Mariner's third baseman.
McCarty popped out to first base in his second at bat, but in the fifth he bounced a sharp ground ball up the middle. Mariner's shortstop made a diving stop, but there was no chance for a throw and McCarty had an infield single.
He took second on another single, moved to third on a balk and scored Kamiak's sixth of seven runs on an infield out. The final score was 7-1.
"It was a perfect day," Merkley said. "It couldn't have been any better."
As he watched McCarty at different times in the afternoon, "he was just happy," the coach added. "You could see it on his face. He was a happy kid and I'm happy for him."
For all of Tuesday's joy, there are still uncertain days ahead. Nathan McCarty will continue his chemotherapy for another 18 months and then hope for a clean bill of health. Short of that, his next step could be a bone marrow transplant.
But the prospect of bad news seemed very far away on a truly magical day at Kamiak High School. Under blue sunlit skies, playing the game he loves, and surrounded by hundreds of people who love him, nothing less than a perfect outcome seemed possible.
"This was a day when you don't have to think about what (illness) you have," Nathan McCarty said. "It was a day to just get back to my normal life and have some fun with my friends and the whole Mukilteo community."

Applause, applause, applause ..... but, is this duty to serve the constitutional order not much more incumbent upon the State, whose only aim is to be pure and unadulterated justice, than defense counsel, who is also charged with gaining a result for a client? I agree both are responsible, but it seems to me that the government attorneys bear a burden much heavier than defense counsel .... ""I note, much as we did in Mechling v. State, 16 N.
1015 (Ind. Ct. App. 2014), trans. denied, that the attorneys representing the State and the defendant are both officers of the court and have a responsibility to correct any obvious errors at the time they are committed."
Do I have to hire an attorney to get co-guardianship of my brother? My father has guardianship and my older sister was his co-guardian until this Dec 2014 when she passed and my father was me to go on as the co-guardian, but funds are limit and we need to get this process taken care of quickly as our fathers health isn't the greatest. So please advise me if there is anyway to do this our self or if it requires a lawyer? Thank you
I have been on this program while on parole from 2011-2013. No person should be forced mentally to share private details of their personal life with total strangers. Also giving permission for a mental therapist to report to your parole agent that your not participating in group therapy because you don't have the financial mean to be in the group therapy. I was personally singled out and sent back three times for not having money and also sent back within the six month when you aren't to be sent according to state law. I will work to het this INSOMM's removed from this state. I also had twelve or thirteen parole agents with a fifteen month period. Thanks for your time.
Our nation produces very few jurists of the caliber of Justice DOUGLAS and his peers these days. Here is that great civil libertarian, who recognized government as both a blessing and, when corrupted by ideological interests, a curse: "Once the investigator has only the conscience of government as a guide, the conscience can become 'ravenous,' as Cromwell, bent on destroying Thomas More, said in Bolt, A Man For All Seasons (1960), p. 120. The First Amendment mirrors many episodes where men, harried and harassed by government, sought refuge in their conscience, as these lines of Thomas More show: 'MORE: And when we stand before God, and you are sent to Paradise for doing according to your conscience, *575 and I am damned for not doing according to mine, will you come with me, for fellowship? 'CRANMER: So those of us whose names are there are damned, Sir Thomas? 'MORE: I don't know, Your Grace. I have no window to look into another man's conscience. I condemn no one. 'CRANMER: Then the matter is capable of question? 'MORE: Certainly. 'CRANMER: But that you owe obedience to your King is not capable of question. So weigh a doubt against a certainty—and sign. 'MORE: Some men think the Earth is round, others think it flat; it is a matter capable of question. But if it is flat, will the King's command make it round? And if it is round, will the King's command flatten it? No, I will not sign.' Id., pp. 132—133. DOUGLAS THEN WROTE: Where government is the Big Brother,11 privacy gives way to surveillance. **909 But our commitment is otherwise. *576 By the First Amendment we have staked our security on freedom to promote a multiplicity of ideas, to associate at will with kindred spirits, and to defy governmental intrusion into these precincts" Gibson v. Florida Legislative Investigation Comm., 372 U.S. 539, 574-76, 83 S. Ct. 889, 908-09, 9 L. Ed. 2d 929 (1963) Mr. Justice DOUGLAS, concurring. I write: Happy Memorial Day to all -- God please bless our fallen who lived and died to preserve constitutional governance in our wonderful series of Republics. And God open the eyes of those government officials who denounce the constitutions of these Republics by arbitrary actions arising out capricious motives.
From back in the day before secularism got a stranglehold on Hoosier jurists comes this great excerpt via Indiana federal court judge Allan Sharp, dedicated to those many Indiana government attorneys (with whom I have dealt) who count the law as a mere tool, an optional tool that is not to be used when political correctness compels a more acceptable result than merely following the path that the law directs: ALLEN SHARP, District Judge. I. In a scene following a visit by Henry VIII to the home of Sir Thomas More, playwriter Robert Bolt puts the following words into the mouths of his characters: Margaret: Father, that man's bad. MORE: There is no law against that. ROPER: There is! God's law! MORE: Then God can arrest him. ROPER: Sophistication upon sophistication! MORE: No, sheer simplicity. The law, Roper, the law. I know what's legal not what's right. And I'll stick to what's legal. ROPER: Then you set man's law above God's! MORE: No, far below; but let me draw your attention to a fact I'm not God. The currents and eddies of right and wrong, which you find such plain sailing, I can't navigate. I'm no voyager. But in the thickets of law, oh, there I'm a forester. I doubt if there's a man alive who could follow me there, thank God... ALICE: (Exasperated, pointing after Rich) While you talk, he's gone! MORE: And go he should, if he was the Devil himself, until he broke the law! ROPER: So now you'd give the Devil benefit of law! MORE: Yes. What would you do? Cut a great road through the law to get after the Devil? ROPER: I'd cut down every law in England to do that! MORE: (Roused and excited) Oh? (Advances on Roper) And when the last law was down, and the Devil turned round on you where would you hide, Roper, the laws being flat? (He leaves *1257 him) This country's planted thick with laws from coast to coast man's laws, not God's and if you cut them down and you're just the man to do it d'you really think you would stand upright in the winds that would blow then? (Quietly) Yes, I'd give the Devil benefit of law, for my own safety's sake. ROPER: I have long suspected this; this is the golden calf; the law's your god. MORE: (Wearily) Oh, Roper, you're a fool, God's my god... (Rather bitterly) But I find him rather too (Very bitterly) subtle... I don't know where he is nor what he wants. ROPER: My God wants service, to the end and unremitting; nothing else! MORE: (Dryly) Are you sure that's God! He sounds like Moloch. But indeed it may be God And whoever hunts for me, Roper, God or Devil, will find me hiding in the thickets of the law! And I'll hide my daughter with me! Not hoist her up the mainmast of your seagoing principles! They put about too nimbly! (Exit More. They all look after him).

It's a classic "love at first sight" story—while browsing Facebook, Aurora Bergmann saw a post featuring Berry, a special pit bull terrier in need of a home at the ASPCA Adoption Center in New York City. Bergmann felt Berry's picture was posted just for her. According to the post, Berry would thrive with lots of room to roam and a canine companion—two things Bergmann had plenty of.
A country life with Bergmann's family—including their four dogs—seemed like a perfect fit. The Bergmanns had adopted and rescued three of their four dogs, and when they visited the ASPCA Adoption Center in New York City for the first time in October, they were on a mission to meet Berry and take her home.
"It gives us joy to be able to help a dog," Bergmann says.
It was immediately clear that Berry was happy to be home—and she quickly became comfortable in the family's fur-filled household.
"When we come home, she wags her tail and gives us kisses," Bergman says. Berry loves spending her time romping around outside on the Bergmann's land, and is coming around to spending time inside the house, too.
She plays with the four other dogs, but is especially chummy with a pit bull mix. Bergmann's son rescued a sweet pit who had been abandoned by the side of a highway in New Jersey, and it warmed the family to the pit bull breed.
"Now we realize what wonderful dogs they are," Bergmann says.
We couldn't agree more. We think Berry is one lucky pooch!
... feels so good to have other people knowing there is love on first sight
Always happy to hear a good ending to a story of a dog in need of a good home. We recently lost Georgia, our Pit Bull/Beagle mix which we got from a local animal rescue. She was sick & we had to have her put down on 25 August. It was one of my sadest days and many sad days to follow. Although we still have our Husky, Belle, we miss Georgia every day. We will most likely, eventually, get another small pooch but for now, it's only Belle, who by the way, showed many signs of missing her little friend and felt our sadness. Thanks for all the wonderful work you do for these defenseless, loveable animals.
God Bless The Bergmanns!!!! they are very special people. Much happiness and love for Berry :)
Pitties have so much love to give. Thanks for returning some to Berry! What a blessed dog to have exactly what she needs from a family that adores her!
I just love pits and Berry is sooo cute! So glad someone accepted her for what she is!! love happy tails!!
I too have a rescued pibble named Berry! How cool is that? Years and years of wonderful love and luck to all of Berry's family, both furry and human.
Thanks so much for sharing your familie's Pittie love story. God Bless you and your son! These beautiful, gentle, loving and affectionate dogs desperately need us to spread the word about their HUGE, beautiful hearts.
It broke my heart to only be able to rescue one sweetie from NYAC&C. I urge everyone to encourage friends and family to rescue a pit bull; especially, from high-kill shelters such as AC&C.There are so many beautiful pitties there that only want to live to love you.
This tale brought tears to my eyes... Bless you and your family for making room in your home and hearts for a Bully Breed that most likely would have been PTS. Shelters are overflowing with pitties that have been abandoned and abused.
If only folks knew what love bugs these dogs are given a loving environment.
The reality is that pit bulls are loveable snuggle bunnies! okay, not really bunnies, but people are quick to judge these beautiful dogs. They are not visious killers that the media has people to believe. The only reason you cannot trust pit bulls is they will steal your hearts and force a smile on your face when your feeling down. They only way a breed can mean is the way they are treated. No two dogs are the same, and neither are people. However, people are quick to say ALL PITS ARE MEAN!!!! which is not true!
Perfect example, I have four dogs. One is a australian mix german shepherd. Another is a sheltie mix australian shepherd. Another is a russell terrier, and last is bella our pit bull. Out of all the dogs, she is the most lazy loveable calm dog. She hardly barks and act like everyone is her best friend. Also thinks she is a lap dog. She get easily scared at thurder, fireworks, screaming, vaccums, and brooms. She has feelings and people ingore the fact that pits have feelings.
Long story short, I feel she found us. The reason I say that is that yes, I rescued her, but she was sitting in the back pouch waiting for the door to open up. She did not attact the other dogs or me when I open up the door to found out she was there. To this day, I do not know how she got there. Where she came from and why she chose to find her forever home in my heart. I can never ask her about her past life, why she had scars along her body. How many litters she was force to have or why is such a sweetheart.
People, before you are quick to judge these loveable dogs and spend time with one at a shelter. Back up your options with a fact that not everything you read in the media is true about this dogs.

the best reviews
their picks
what to buy
To get the best-tasting rice, experts and consumers alike say a rice cooker is essential. Some are so simple, all the cook has to do is pour rice and water into the cooker's pan, shut the lid and push a button. Other rice cookers use microprocessors to cook a variety of rice types; still other rice cookers do double duty as steamers and slow cookers.
Rice cookers are defined by heating technology. Conventional rice cookers are simple appliances. You just add rice and water and push a button to start the heating process. These are fine for cooking white rice, but may not be ideal for brown rice or rice for sushi, which require different temperatures and cooking times. These grains do best in a rice cooker that has a microprocessor, sometimes called a micom rice cooker, which have a variety of cooking settings.
Induction rice cookers, which use an electrical current to warm the entire cooking bowl -- rather than a traditional heating element that warms only the bottom of the bowl – cook much more evenly and can be fine-tuned to prepare even the most delicate rice types, experts say. They're also much more expensive than other rice cooker types.
The best rice cookers have a pressurized heating. This raises the temperature to a higher level, which modifies the structure of starch in the rice grains. Rice is cooked faster, and the texture is fluffier and softer. Rice aficionados believe this makes the rice easier to digest.
Some rice cookers do more than just cook rice. Food steamers cook more slowly than a dedicated rice cooker, but they can also cook and steam meats and vegetables while they're cooking the rice, resulting in a no-fuss, one-pot meal.
Most of these rice cookers and cooker/steamers can be pre-programmed. Take a few seconds to start them in the morning, and you'll come home to perfectly cooked rice -- or a complete meal.
Rice cookers have one of the widest price ranges of any countertop appliance. You can pick up a simple unit for white rice for $20 at your local department store, or spend $700 and up for an induction rice cooker. Many of the higher-tech models fall in the $100 to $300 range and get as good reviews for performance as those that cost twice as much.
ConsumerSearch has analyzed a number of expert reviews and hundreds of owner reviews to evaluate dozens of rice cookers on their performance, ease of use and durability. We then narrowed down our results to determine the best rice cooker for any kitchen.

By Pure Matters
Plan Ahead
More than anything, last-minute, unexpected errands can create unnecessary noise in your day. By planning ahead you can avoid this stress. First, declare a shopping day. This is the day you put on your calendar to shop and if you are prepared with a good shopping list you can avoid having to run out to get paprika, soccer treats or whatever at the last minute. Make two lists of things you buy regularly, one for online and one for off. Include all the spices and products you use, even unusual ones as well as common items your family eats, such as rice or peanut butter. And include items you might need for a special occasion, like brownie ingredients. Post them on your refrigerator or in your phone, or wherever it is handy. When you are close to running out of an item, mark it on the list. When shopping day arrives your lists are ready for you. No thinking or inventory required.
Manage Your Inbox
Whether it's your paper or digital inbox don't treat it as a file cabinet. One of the best pieces of advice I've heard comes from a book I read a long time ago (Taming the Paper Tiger). They recommended keeping a garbage can right by your mailbox. When your mail comes in, go through it all at once. Mail you know you don't want to open goes into the trash immediately. Open the rest, discard what you don't need … again, right away. What's left gets acted upon or filed right away. This applies easily to your email in-box, as well. It means you have to set aside a little time to deal with it but it keeps you from building big "I'll get to this later" and "sort through soon" piles.
Compartmentalize Activities
Although multi-tasking seems like a way to fit more in your day, put brackets around certain things. Set times aside during which no email, phone or texting is allowed. Set other times to deal specifically with email or phone calls. Give undivided attention to story time, dinner time, workout time or whatever-important -thing time. The rest of the day, go ahead and multi-task but make definite "on" and "off" periods and you'll be surprised at the streamlined results.
Stop Procrastinating
Putting off things you know you have to do just keeps your to-do list longer than it has to be. It also clutters up your mind with things that will nag at you until they are done. Instead of thinking about that task that you have to do and why you don't want to do it or why you aren't doing it, just do it.
Carve Out 10 Minutes of Quiet Time
Time in the car by yourself doesn't count. Find 10 minutes … only 10 minutes … where you don't think of anything. No lists, no worries, no planning. You will see how grounding this can be and how it allows you to focus on what is important during other parts of your day. Some people meditate. Some just set a timer for 10 minutes and sit. Some find it easier to settle their mind by taking a walk. Most find it easier to set time aside earlier in the day rather than later. But all who do it agree that, if done regularly, it really works.
Get Enough Sleep
Without enough sleep you can become frazzled and trying to organize basic tasks becomes more difficult. There are lots of reasons people don't get enough sleep. I have tended to sacrifice sleep because there are so many things I want to do in a day and I have trouble winding down. It's helped me to prioritize sleep (amazingly, I still get lots done!). And to wind down I find that taking a magnesium supplement in the evening does the trick. There are tons of types of magnesium out there but magnesium citrate is a highly absorbable form. And since it also helps my bones and muscles too, I figure it is a win, win, win for me!

Elton John's band includes original members Davey Johnstone on guitar and Nigel Olsson on drums, as well as Matt Bissonette on bass, John Mahon on percussion, and Kim Bullard on keyboards.Elton's latest studio album, The Diving Board, features 12 new songs written by Elton and his longtime lyricist Bernie Taupin and returns Elton to the piano, bass and drums lineup that marked the artist's introduction to worldwide audiences more than 40 years ago. As he explains, "I'm incredibly excited about every aspect of this album: The performances, T Bone Burnett's production, Bernie's lyrics and the songs we've created. The Diving Board is the album I've been waiting to make for decades."
The Diving Board and the 40th Anniversary re-release of Goodbye Yellow Brick Road are available on EltonJohn.com and at record outlets everywhere, including Amazon.com and iTunes.
Elton is one of the top-selling solo artists of all time, with 35 gold and 25 platinum albums, 29 consecutive Top 40 hits, and he has sold more than 250 million records worldwide. Elton holds the record for the biggest selling single of all time, "Candle in the Wind '97," which sold 37 million copies. He also holds the record for most appearances on Billboard's Adult Contemporary chart, with his newest single, "Home Again" marking his 69th entry. Since his career began in 1969 he has played almost 3,000 concerts worldwide. John has recently been named the first recipient of the BRITs Icon Award, which recognizes the very highest level of British music achievement, presented only to iconic artists whose writing, recording and performances set them apart as having made a lasting impact on the nation's culture.
Service and handling fees are added to the price of each ticket.

When Inc. went virtual last month, reporter Sarah Kessler knew that working from her tiny Brooklyn apartment wasn't going to facilitate her sanity. Instead, she used the month to sample a variety of New York coworking locations, which offer community and workspace to solo workers. Here are Sarah's eight reasons why a coworking space is better than working from home or the neighborhood café.
Resorting to hourly coffee purchases might be the best way to avoid glares from café employees after you plunk yourself down for an eight-hour work day at one of their tables. But you don't have to feel guilty about working at a coworking space. You can plug in your laptop and take that phone call without the guilt of breaking the vibe.
When an entrepreneur who was working at Hive at 55, a non-profit coworking space in lower Manhattan that is run by the downtown alliance, needed some bookkeeping help, director Daria Siegal matched him with a CPA who had also worked at the Hive. Darrell Silver, the founder of Perpetually.com, met and hired his programmer at New Work City. Coworking spaces are abound with stories of connections that led to business.
The desk chair can be a seriously under-appreciated piece of office equipment unless you are forced to leave it behind. Coworking allows you to enjoy desk chairs (with wheels and back support!) as well as enough desk room to spread out all of your computer equipment, papers, and work utensils. At Hive at 55, once you stake out a spot on a desk, you're welcome to leave your things there overnight so that you can pick up right where you left off in the morning. New Work City another coworking space in Manhattan, provides lockers to full-time members in order to facilitate a similar concept. The workspace at In Good Company, a coworking space for female entrepreneurs, is pictured above.
You could drag yourself to after-work networking events, speakers, and conferences. Or, you could meet dozens of people with interesting projects by simply working alongside them during the day, as pictured here at New Work City. Several spaces even have community organizers, who are responsible for knowing everybody's business and making introductions between people who might be able to help each other.
After overhearing a discussion about an exceptional sandwich place near Coworking Brooklyn, which resides in The Change You Want to See art gallery (pictured above), I asked where it was. Instead of relating the cross-streets, my coworkers invited me to lunch with them. I not only had the scoop on the best lunch spot in the area, but somebody to eat with. I found similar sanity-preserving chit-chat happening around communal coffee troughs and printers at all of the spaces I visited.
Although you might be comfortable working from your tiny apartment kitchen, it's hardly a place that you'd like to invite clients. Belonging to a coworking space often includes access to conference rooms, which can lend some credibility to your business meetings. The Hive at 55 has a conference room that seats 12 people around a table and has a projector. Try pulling that off in your kitchen.
You may be the sole employee of your company, but with coworking, you can still enjoy the benefits of being surrounded by people who are doing similar work. Coworking spaces are developing for just about every niche: The Metropolitan Exchange in Brooklyn caters specifically to architects, urban planners, and industrial designers; Green Space Manhattan hosts sustainable small businesses; Cubes & Crayons in San Francisco combines coworking and childcare; and In Good Company in New York (pictured above) was started by a pair of consultants to serve the needs of female entrepreneurs.
Most coworking spaces host events and seminars that appeal to their members. In Good Company, for instance, offers monthly talks with successful female entrepreneurs, four-session classes on case study growth strategies, and expert panels on specific business topics. New Work City has hosted events ranging from "How to Start a Cupcake Business" to a hackathon that developed a new technology to help the recovery effort in Haiti. –Sarah Kessler

When an old man (or any man) takes a sexual shine to a six year old girl and forces her to marry him when she turns nine. Do we as a species have any moral objections to this man? Well, today if a man has sexual relations with a child we are disgusted and in most countries that man would be labelled as a paedophile and be sentenced to a term of imprisonment. What if this same man lived say, one hundred years ago? Is our moral outrage diminished in any way? Has the behaviour of this man become less troublesome to us? What if this man lived three hundred years ago? Do we care anymore? Do we simply come out with 'Well that was a long time ago and it was the custom of the day!' or do we simply retort 'Girls matured a lot quicker in those days!' Does time water down our moral outrage? Or do you still see this young girl as a child, whether it was one hundred years or two thousand years ago? And that any grown man that took a very young girl as his bride committed child rape! I'm sure this scenario will have its apologists everywhere. So here comes the extra moral problem. What if this man is revered as a holy man, wait not just any holy man but the ultimate holy man by over a billion followers? What if this man is seen as God's last prophet? As in the Prophet Muhammad! What would be your moral objections be now? Would you still be morally outraged? Would you be an apologist? Or would you just not think about it morally? Or would you claim it was not a sexual union but a political union?
A Moral Outrage or Not?

A Committee Meeting was held on Wednesday March 8th at 24 New Oxford St.
Present: Dr. Joules (Chairman), Dr. J. Wright, Mrs, I. Brown, Mrs. L. Manning, Dr. J. Gillison, Mr. R. Calder, Lord Faringdon, Mr. J. Coyne, Mr. C.H. Norman, Mr. G. Jeger,
1) Minutes of the meeting on March 8th were confirmed and signed.
2) Matters arising:
a) New Premises. The National Joint Committee had inspected these premises with us but had intimated that they were too small to be taken jointly. They were seeking something with at least equivalent accommodation for themselves alone. In view of the cheapness of the rent and the probability of this being reduced by sub-letting to other organisations, it was agreed that the house at 69 Great Russell Street be taken on a quarterly tenancy as from the 25th of March. The Organising Secretary was asked to submit a report to the next meeting of the Committee on the furniture that would be required. Mrs. Brown kindly offered to assist in obtaining some desks and other equipment.
b) Dr. Joules reported that Nurse Margaret Finley would be in hospital for about another week, and would require treatment for some considerable time after that. We would be liable for the bill for her hospital treatment.
c) Our vehicles confiscated at Marseilles. Mr. Pollock of the Foreign Office had asked for a full statement to be sent to him officially, when he would take up the matter with the Consul-General at Marseilles. It was decided that on their release we endeavour to use the vehicles for the care of the refugees in the camps, if possible, rather than send them to Valencia.
d) The Organising Secretary reported that, the day after the last Committee Meeting, he had received from the three Spanish nurses in France a letter of thanks for the 1500 francs paid to them by the C.S.I. on our behalf.
Attempts were being made to get them into this country, but as it was understood that the British Government is granting only 100 visas for Spaniards, it was decided that no action be taken for the time being, as there were probably a considerable number of more serious cases still in the camps, for whom these hundred permits should be utilised.
e) Refugee Committee. Professor Marrack had just returned from Perpignan, having brought back a list of 16 names of doctors at present in the camps, who were prepared to go to China to continue work there.
A new Refugee Committee under the auspices of the N.J.C. had been set up, and a request had been received for a representative from this Committee. It was agreed that Professor Marrack be asked to act as our representative with Mrs. Manning as his deputy.
3) Special Correspondence: a) A letter from Mr. Poole in Perpignan where where he is working on behalf of the N.J.C. asking whether we could supply a steriliser for de-lousing the underclothing of the refugees who are taken from the camps to the clearing house. It was decided to consult Mr. Wogan Phillips and Professor Marrack and to spend up to £50 on suitable apparatus.

Enjoy chefs' creations at Cooks' Home Tour in Everett
Dan Bates / The Herald
Tom and Dianne Easley are opening their very musical home for the Assistance League of Everett's first Cooks' Home Tour on Monday.
Dan Bates / The Herald
Cindy Hilliard of Briar Laine Personal Chef Service will be serving items at the Easley home in north Everett.
Dan Bates / The Herald
Be sure to check out the tub in the Easleys' master bath.
Dan Bates / The Herald
The master bedroom has its own juke box (left) and speakers (upper shelf), of course.
Dan Bates / The Herald
Tom Easley's office reflects the eclectic style of the home.
Dan Bates / The Herald
A nearly complete set of Vogue Records made in 1947 in Chicago complement the Easleys' collection of Wurlitzer juke boxes. The Vogue disks are made of aluminum and are 78 rpm.
Dan Bates / The Herald
The vintage telephone booth is originally from the Savoy Hotel in Seattle. Like the 10-cent Coke machine, it works.
Dan Bates / The Herald
Vintage 78s line a runner on this table setting.
Lights dance and Nat King Cole's soft, rich baritone voice croons as the phonograph needle meets vinyl.
You don't have to put another dime in the jukebox, baby.
All the jukeboxes here are on free play. Just push the button and that flash-crackle-and-pop resonates from the automated record flipping machine.
There's a jukebox in almost every room at the north Everett home of Dianne and Tom Easley.
"I like that old music. You can understand it," Tom Easley said.
Cole's "Unforgettable" is the couple's favorite.
"That's our song," Dianne Easley said.
It's on the jukebox in the bedroom.
Maybe your song is on one of the eight jukeboxes in this home featured on Monday's Cooks' Home Tour by the Assistance League of Everett.
The self-guided tour is a fundraiser for Operation School Bell, which provides clothing for children in need in Snohomish County.
Homes include an updated Cape Cod, a contemporary ground-floor condominium and a 1907 three-story restored to its original floor plan.
Not only do people get to tour six dramatically different homes in the north end, they also get to eat.
A chef will be stationed in each kitchen with specialty samples. At the Easley home, Cindy Hilliard, owner of Briar Laine, a Mill Creek personal chef service, will be serving pickled asparagus with Black Forest ham and goat cheese.
Music and food. Great balls of fire!
The jukeboxes date to 1936, the first year of the coin-operated music machines.
Tom Easley has been restoring jukeboxes for years.
"He came with the jukeboxes. That's why I chose him," his wife said. "But he had other qualities."
They met at Boeing, where he works in human relations. She retired from HR in 2011 and is an Assistance League volunteer.
"We both love old stuff," she said.
The love gets crazy at times.
"You know, you run out of space and you think, 'Holy crap, what are we going to do with all this stuff?'" he said.
Well, if you're Tom and Dianne, what you do is buy another house to store the excess.
"We bought that house at the corner," he said.
"Some people buy beach cabins," she said.
Who needs a getaway with all the fun things at home anyway?
These aren't simply for show. They play with their toys.
There's a penny gumball machine, a peanut machine, a Coke machine stocked with bottled pop and beer, a wooden phone both from the Savoy Hotel in Seattle, and a wall pay phone that works.
The two antique slot machines also work. The jackpot pays $10. In nickels.
Unforgettable. That's what this home is.
Andrea Brown; 425-339-3443; email@example.com
Cooks' Tour
The Cooks' Home Tour by Assistance League of Everett is a self-guided tour from 10:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday. It features six homes with a chef in each kitchen offering samples. There will also be a raffle and a vendor market.

PUNXSUTAWNEY — Marion Center sophomore Brodey Thompson may not have been included on the Carl A. Truance Holiday Classic All-Tournament team, but his three-pointer at the buzzer lifted the Stingers past the Punxsy boys' basketball team Thursday night in front of a near-capacity crowd in Punxsutawney.
The Chucks (3-3) were ahead 49-48 with 9.3 seconds left before Daniel Triponey missed the front end of a one-and-one. As Marion Center's sharp shooting Alex Woodrow, the tournament MVP, raced down court, he was met by one of Punxsy's tallest players — Luke Janocha.
PUNXSUTAWNEY — A day after scoring eight second-half points, the Punxsy girls' basketball team scored just 10 during the final two quarters Thursday to drop both games of the Carl A. Truance Holiday Classic in Punxsutawney.
The Lady Chucks (2-6) trailed 28-20 after three quarters, but Hazleton was able to pull away with a 15-5 final quarter to earn a 43-25 victory in the tournament's consolation game.
PUNXSUTAWNEY — The Punxsy junior tandem of Daniel Triponey and Logan Weaver combined for 40 points during the Chucks' 61-48 triumph over Clarion during the first day of the 16th-annual Carl A. Truance Holiday Classic Wednesday night in Punxsutawney.
Triponey led with a game-high 23 points, and Weaver followed with 17 points, as the Chucks returned to the tournament's championship game after missing out last year.
Punxsy will face Marion Center at 7:45 p.m. tonight with the title on the line. Marion Center is coming off a 61-42 victory over Redbank Valley earlier Wednesday.
PUNXSUTAWNEY — The Punxsy girls' basketball team was unable to crack 30 points before missing out on the Carl A. Truance Holiday Classic Championship Game for the third-straight season during a 41-29 loss to Westmont Hilltop Wednesday night in Punxsutawney.
Punxsy senior Shawnna Crago scored 18 points, but she didn't receive much help, as the rest of the Lady Chucks' roster combined for 11 points.
Junior Alex Magill added seven points, and Parris Kernich tallied two.
There were many moments that Punxsy sports fans have cherished and won't soon forget from 2010. The following are Punxsutawney's greatest triumphs and achievements from this year.
Pennington honored by state
Punxsy's Braedon Pennington was named to the 2009 Associated Press All-State Class AAA First Team as a defensive back following his senior season by Pennsylvania sports writers after helping send the Chucks to their first District IX Class AAA title since 1991.
Just as days and months pass, so do the four sports seasons in Punxsutawney. As the cold winter of basketball and wrestling brightens with the thought of spring's baseball and softball, cool spring weather becomes even warmer as summer provides even more baseball and softball.
Then, once the days again grow crisper and shorter, football, soccer and volleyball are the main feasts, as the holidays are soon to arrive.
CLEARFIELD — The Punxsy junior-high wrestling team wasn't happy with the way its match against Clearfield ended, but the Chucks still picked up a huge victory over a squad it has lost to many times.
Behind five wins by fall, Punxsy built a 46-3 advantage, only to squeeze out a 52-44 victory last Wednesday in Clearfield.
"It was great to beat Clearfield finally," Punxsy head coach Bill Burke said. "We're certainly happy about that win, but I was a little disappointed with our finish."
PUNXSUTAWNEY — The Punxsy eighth-grade boys' basketball team allowed a combined seven points during the first and fourth quarters while upsetting Altoona White last Wednesday at home, 31-25.
The Chucks (3-1) were ahead 20-13 at halftime before Altoona trimmed the lead to 24-22 entering the final frame. That's when the Chucks pulled away during a 7-3 final frame.
"This was a good team effort defensively," Punxsy head coach Glenn Good said. "There is room for improvement, but overall, it was a good defensive effort. We also rebounded well on both ends of the court."
CLEARFIELD — The Punxsutawney varsity wrestling team knew heading into Clearfield Wednesday night that it would be challenged at every weight and would be in for a tough night, and that's exactly what the Chucks got.
The Bisons were too powerful down the lineup, earning a 48-17 victory over the Chucks (1-1), a victory that may seem lopsided, but for Punxsy head coach Eric Eddy, a loss that had plenty of upside.
HARMONY — The Lady Chucks picked up their second win of the season Thursday night as Punxsy traveled to Harmony and earned a convincing 54-31 win to push its record to 2-4 on the season.
The Lady Chucks jumped out to a 14-6 first-quarter lead before pulling away in the second frame to make it 26-11 at halftime.
The second half was more of the same for Punxsy as the Lady Chucks used swift ball movement and sharp shooting to increase its lead to 41-24 after three quarters before putting things away in the fourth.

LOVE THIS ALBUM!!!!The albume the unforgettable fire Got me hooked to u2. The song named after the album might have been the main reason for my love of this group of mysterious lads.
29 August, 2012
The Unforgettable Fire, to meUnforgettable Fire album, to me. Unforgettable Fire' Album, this is the band and their fourth album. ' Sleep sleep tonight and may your dreams be realised (MLK),it is shadow and light, 'Coca-cola, football radio, radio, radio, radio, radio, radio.' (Promenade) offset in evidence. Sweet guitar sound, thougtful rithme of bass guitar, drums in prompt research. ' Pride'! ,there is a strong go up and echoes of fightings, and drums underlines this with a tough beat,' One man comes in the name of love' and rebellion bursts ''Throw your life away Such a nice day Let it go( Wire). ' If I could, yes I would' ( Bad), tones are softly lowered, sometimes, nuances are enriched and the way is found back ' I am wide awake ( Bad) ,'Sky, it's a blue sky ( Indian Summer Sky). 'And still we run, we run and don't look back' ( a sort of homecoming). In this album with a foot forward there are specific enviroments with special carpets of sounds just like in ' Elvis Presley and America', The Unforgettable Fire' and 4th of July.'Stay this time, stay tonight in a lie. Ever after is a long time.' ( The Unforgettable Fire). Also in this remastered album there are songs not previously released , ' Disappearing act' ,with a singular construction of the song, voice and guitar that seems so distant, amazing wise lyrics and ' Yoshino Blossom'. A 21th century song.

My 1st concert-ever!This show started a life-long passion for concert going! I saw it in Pittsburgh, PA-it was so incredible! I loved A Sort of Homecoming!!!!!! Thanks U2!!!

Ask your average first- or second-year medical student about Constitution Day and one is likely to be met with a reflective pause, followed by a simple question: "What is Constitution Day?"
Constitution Day is an American federal holiday that recognizes the ratification of the U.S. Constitution. It is observed on Sept. 17, the day the U.S. Constitutional Convention signed the document in 1787. The law establishing Constitution Day as a holiday was created in 2004. In May 2005, the U.S. Department of Education announced the enactment of this law and that it would apply to any school receiving federal funds of any kind.
|Michael J. Rigelsky, Esq., discusses the Constitution and privacy rights with LECOM School of Pharmacy students.
Though it is a relatively new holiday, more and more educational institutions have taken major steps to incorporate discussion about the U.S. Constitution and the government. At LECOM locations in Erie, Pa., and Bradenton, Fla., guest speakers helped discuss the role of the Constitution in public policy while offering insights into how the document affects us on a daily basis.
LECOM Erie
On Sept. 17, Michael J. Rigelsky, Esq., visited the school and met with osteopathic and pharmacy students to discuss the 220-year-old document and the government it helped establish.
Rigelsky took time to talk about the Constitution and how it applies to people living in 21st century America. Rigelsky, who practices in the litigation and business law sections of Manchester, Bennett, Powers & Ullman, L.P.A., provided common situations that illustrated how Constitutional rights are exercised and how U.S. citizens are protected – or not protected – by those laws.
"How many of you think the Constitution provides you with a right to privacy?" he asked. Though students offered varying theories about a person's privacy rights in America, Rigelsky was quick to point out just how complex the government's application of the Constitution has become over the course of 220 years.
|Major Regan Shabloski, D.O., quizzes first-year medical students about the Constitution.
Throughout his interactive presentation, he regularly called on students to get their impression of how the Constitution works, specifically in regard to the creation of legislation and the balance of power between the three branches of government.
Major Regan Shabloski, D.O., Medical Corps, Pennsylvania Army National Guard and Director of Clinical Education at LECOM, discussed the Constitution with the College of Medicine class of 2012. During his presentation, Dr. Shabloski referenced several instances from his own military and civilian experiences.
"As you can see, I have a unique perspective on the Constitution as a military officer sworn to support and defend it against all enemies, both foreign and domestic," he said.
Dr. Shabloski supplemented his own experiences with a series of trivia questions about the Constitution. Students attempted to answer questions about the framing of the Constitution, the origin of the title "President of the United States" and in which order the states ratified the original document.
LECOM Bradenton
Attorney Mary Lindstrom, a healthcare attorney for Blalock, Walters, Held & Johnson, PA, gave the keynote address at LECOM Bradenton's Constitution Day ceremonies.
|Attorney Mary Lindstrom delivered the keynote address at LECOM Bradenton.
In her speech to LECOM medical and pharmacy students, Lindstrom noted that there are different ways to interpret the Constitution.
"The Constitution is the framework for how we operate as a society," she said. "Constructionists interpret the Constitution to the letter. Others believe in a living, breathing Constitution, one that adapts to the way society changes."
She also noted some interesting facts about the Constitution:
• The Constitution does not specifically mention a right to privacy. However, Supreme Court decisions over the years have established that the right to privacy is a basic human right, and as such is protected by virtue of the 9th Amendment.
• The word "democracy" does not appear in the Constitution.
• George Washington and James Madison were the only two Presidents to sign the Constitution.

Tonight's installment is the last episode of USA Network's Common Law series — either for the season or for the series. It remains to be seen if this TV show will be cancelled or renewed for a second season.
Common Law follows a pair of LAPD detectives — Travis Marks (Michael Ealy) and Wes Mitchell (Warren Kole). They bicker but their talents mesh so well that their commanding officer, Captain Sutton (Jack McGee), orders them into counselling to keep the team together. Others in the cast include Sonya Walger, Elizabeth Chomko, Alicia Coppola, Nora Zehetner, and Reed Diamond.
The show debuted back on May 11th to 2.48 million viewers with a 0.7 rating in the 18-49 demographic. In terms of viewers, that was about 30% lower than Fairly Legal's second season premiere a couple months earlier. Common Law did however significantly outperform the ninth episode of Fairly Legal that preceded it.
Loading ...
Over the course of the season, Common Law's ratings have declined and that's not positive. At the end of July, they hit a new low with 1.76 million and a 0.5 demo rating. The season has averaged 2.13 million with a 0.6 demo rating.
The show is the lowest-rated scripted series currently on USA. That's somewhat understandable because it does air on Friday nights, a lesser-watched night of television. Still, Common Law's numbers are worse than Fairly Legal's season average (which also aired on Fridays) and much lower than the other scripted shows on USA this summer.
What will USA do? It's hard to say but, based on the ratings, there doesn't seem to be an overwhelming reason for them to renew Common Law for a second season.
But, what do you think? Do you like Common Law? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed? Which way do you think USA will go?

Laced Leo Romero Youth
Blue Navy
The Emerica team's favorite shoe is a super-thin skate chiller. This version was inspired by Leo Romero.
Emerica team rider-inspired and desired, the Laced is a super-thin skate chiller that is, despite its name, meant to be worn without laces…just like Andrew runs 'em. Don't worry, a special hidden elastic band will keep these pups snug. But, we threw a set of laces in the box in case you want to tie up anyway.
• Overall thin design keeps feet comfy and provides maximum board feel for greater accuracy.
• Elastic tongue-centering straps keep tongue from sliding down sideways.
• Full-length EVA foam midsole cushions bottom of feet during heavy impacts.
• Gum rubber cupsole with zigzag tread pattern provides maximum grip for more confident skating.
• Triangle logo on tongue.
• Pure logo on side.
• Emerica Combo logo on footbed.

Great quality
I loved the colors, the quality and the organization when shipped to make sure they do not get damaged. I would of given it a 5 but 2 inches is not that big. I think they are a bit small but they are the size i ordered so I can work with that. Overall a great product and received pretty fast.

They're not the typical heavyweight champions. They're not brutes. They're not from the mean streets of Chicago, Louisville or Baltimore, and they have no rivals outside of each other.
They're Ukrainian with PhD's. They're methodical with a talent for chess. They hold every major belt in the heavyweight division, and they almost never lose.
Vitali and Wladamir Klitschko have combined to win a total of 105 bouts with just five losses, and given these staggering statistics, it would be difficult to deny them a place among the all-time greats.
Ali is widely considered the greatest of all time but he is also remembered for his three wars with Joe Frazier including his one loss to Smokin' Joe, and who can forget that lunging left hook that put Ali on his back in the 15th round of their first fight?
Of course, Mike Tyson is remembered for his intimidation and formidable punching power, but he is also remembered for his knockout loss to Buster Douglas, biting a chunk of Evander Holyfield's ear off in frustration, and a lop-sided thumping he took from Lennox Lewis.
But the Klitschko brothers have rarely been involved in anything other than a one-sided beating they were dishing out, and for all of you that would argue against the validity of their opponents, just try and name more than one man Tyson defeated.
Not that easy is it?
In fact, if you were to remove both of the brothers from boxing today, I am betting the division would look more competitive.
Perhaps the validity of the heavyweight division is in question because the Klitschko's are making it look so easy?
And who's to say they wouldn't have dominated every era with their formidable size and reach?
It's hard to imagine a 5-foot-11-inch Joe Frazier or a 5-foot-10-inch Mike Tyson ever getting past Vladimir's jab or Vitilai's 6- foot-7- inch frame.
The problem for American boxing fans and the assortment of other critics lining up to discredit the two brothers lies in a common misconception of their contemporaries.
The Utah Jazz and the New York Nicks put together some amazing teams throughout the 1990's but they are largely remembered for not getting it done. Why? I'll tell you why, because Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls were standing in their way and made it look so easy.
Of course, many would say the NBA in the 1980's was a higher level of professional basketball because there was a perceived higher degree of talented teams.
Teams like Bird's Celtics, Magic's Lakers, and Isaiah's Pistons.
The 1980's were viewed as a better era for professional basketball because there were so many great teams of equal talent fighting it out each year, but none of them could distance themselves from the rest of their contemporaries like the Bulls did in the 1990's or the Klitchko's have done in the modern era of heavyweight boxing.
Remove Michael Jordan from the 1990's equation and you have memorable competition, an assortment of champions, and games for the ages.
Don't believe me? What happened to the Bulls when Michael Jordan decided to play baseball?
Let me tell you.
Jordan's Bulls won three consecutive NBA titles until he retired from basketball to play professional baseball. During that time, Scottie Pippen's Bulls made the playoffs but did not win a championship. When Jordan returned to the Bulls in 1995, he promptly guided them to three more consecutive titles, and just like that basketball was boring again.
Why? Because we knew who was going to win.
There is nothing wrong with heavyweight boxing today; it is just being dominated so thoroughly that it has degraded the talent of anyone not named Klitchhko.
In essence, it is boring because we all know who is going to win.
And I don't think that would change in any era.

GO Switch Widget
10,000,000 - 50,000,000 downloads
- Amount of switches
- Good-looking
- Useful
- Should be more customizable
- It would be great more widget sizes
+ By GO Launcher Dev Team
"The dashboard widget"
Reviewed by Emmanuel Lund / Mar 19, 2012
GO Switch Widget is one of the most complete widgets on Google Play
The reason? The amount and above all, the utility of the switches it includes. Bear in mind though that this is a widget that can only be place on your screen if you're already using GO Launcher EX. There are two available sizes: 1x1 and 4x1. Of course the most interesting is the latter. It allows you to place up to 6 switches out of 20 available. Just take the ones you use most frequently: WiFi, ringer, brightness, bluetooth, GPS, auto-sync, airplane mode, auto-rotate, vibrate... among many other. What's more you can toggle position modification.
Removing switches to add new ones is as easy as long press home screen, choose GO Widgets and then GO Switch Widget. Then select the six switches you want to place on the widget and un-select the ones you want to remove. You can even change position of the switches in the widget by lick and toggling the icon. That easy.
In a nutshell, another great widget developed by GO Dev Team, maybe the most useful. We've just found two catches: it needs more widget sizes and it would be great if it were more customizable.
In 4x1 style, up to 12 toggles and 2 controls are supported. Compare to other switch widgets, you can just simply drag the toggles to change their positions in the widget. Moreover, like other GOWidgets, theme is also supported.
To make it work, you must install the latest version of GO Launcher EX which is the most popular home launcher app in Android Market.
Free tools for you: Flashlight , QR Scanner , Timer
How to uninstall?
To lock screen, the widget must be set as the device administrator. Once it's done, you cannot uninstall the widget directly like other normal GOWidgets. If you happen to uninstall it, you can follow the instruction below:
Enter the "Settings" menu -> "Location and security" -> "Select device administrators" -> Make sure "GO Switch Widget" is not selected -> Then uninstall the
Available Size:
Since GO Switch Widget has the right to lock screen, to UNINSTALL it, you must execute the steps below first.
Press the "menu" button in home screen of GO Launcher EX -> Select "Settings" -> Select "Location and Security" -> Select "Select device administrators" -> Make sure "GO Switch Widget" is not selected. Then try uninstall the widget like other usual applications.
Some toggles may be out of work after your GO Switch Widget is upgraded. Please refer to the instruction below to figure them out.
For the WiFi toggle (the instruction may be varied a little in different phones)
Settings -> Wireless and network -> Wi-Fi settings -> Unselect "WiFi" -> Then try the WiFi toggle in the widget to open the WiFi network.
For the Bluetooth toggle (the instruction may be varied a little in different phones)
Settings -> Wireless and network -> Bluetooth settings -> Unselect "Bluetooth" -> Then try the Bluetooth toggle in the widget to open the Bluetooth function.
For the screen lock toggle (the instruction may be varied a little in different phones)
Settings -> Location and security -> Select device administrators -> Unselect "GO Switch Widget" -> Then try the "screen lock" toggle in the widget to lock the screen.

How to add GOWidgets to your home screen?
- Long press on your home screen in GO Launcher EX. Press the GOWidget option and choose the widget you like. Make sure you have enough room for the widget.

CINCINNATI, Ohio – Behind a pair of individual victories and two relay wins, the Miami University men's track and field team finished in second place at the Oliver Nikoloff Invitational, hosted by the University of Cincinnati at Gettler Stadium Friday and Saturday.
The RedHawks compiled 189 points at the meet as they were just beat out by Southeast Missouri State, which won the meet with 196 points. The host Bearcats took third with 184.5 points, followed by Eastern Kentucky (49) and Marquette (47.5) in fourth and fifth, respectively. Butler (45) and Xavier (27) were the next two finishers in the 12-team field team that also included select athletes from Notre Dame and Kentucky.
Senior Jarrod Eick (Hartville, Ohio) won the 5000m run in 14:35.27 as Miami's lone individual winner on the track while classmate Matt Marol (Evanston, Ill.) was not far behind in fourth in 14:52.98. Freshman Peter Stefanski (Aurora, Ill.) was Miami's only other individual winner, as he earned first in the high jump for the third straight meet, clearing 2.08m/6-9.75, just shy of his personal best. Junior Matt Gambill (Dover, N.H.) was fifth in the high jump, topping 1.98m/6-6.
The RedHawks captured both relay events as freshman Jason Bailey (Springboro, Ohio), junior Sam Spallinger (Pandora, Ohio), sophomore JaShawn Combs (Dayton, Ohio) and junior Jahquil Hargrove (Norristown, Pa.) combined to finish first in the 4x100m relay in 42.21, just edging out Southeast Missouri State. In the 4x400m relay, Hargrove, junior Robert Balzano (Poland, Ohio), freshman Adam Bodrick (Columbus, Ohio) and sophomore Skyler Coburn (La Porte, Ind.) also claimed first in a time of 3:17.09, a second ahead of Cincinnati, as Miami picked up 20 points between the relays.
In addition to his relays, Hargrove was the runner-up in the 400m dash in 47.97 while Balzano was right behind in third in 48.57 and Bodrick was fifth in a personal-best 49.37. Spallinger took third in the 200m dash in 22.61 while Bailey was eighth in the 100m dash in 11.45.
In the 800m run, senior Jack Spilman (Chagrin Falls, Ohio) placed third in 1:52.12 while junior Kevin Brown (Lewis Center, Ohio) was sixth in 1:52.60. Redshirt senior Brett Wagner (Toledo, Ohio) finished third in the 3000m steeplechase in 9:35.32 with freshman Matthew Pelletier (Burton, Ohio) right behind him in fourth in 9:40.55.
In the hurdles, Combs crossed in third in the 110m hurdles in 14.57 while classmate Sam Chester (Medina, Ohio) was right behind in fourth in 14.80. In the 400m hurdles, Coburn was the runner-up in 55.20.
In other field action, senior Sam Wildeman (Naperville, Ill.) claimed second in the pole vault clearing 4.70m/15-5 while freshman Jacob Hensh (Uniontown, Pa.) was fifth with a personal-best clearance of 4.55m/14-11. Senior John Cantwell (Holland, Pa.) earned another runner-up in the long jump with a personal-best leap of 7.26m/23-10 while Spallinger was fourth (6.90m/22-7.75). Cantwell also posted a personal best in the triple jump, capturing third with a jump of 14.46m/47-5.25.
In the throws, junior Rob Stein (Villa Park, Ill.) placed second in the discus with a heave of 48.67m/159-8 while he finished third in the shot put (16.22m/53-2.75). Freshman Paul Golen (Elmhurst, Ill.) was fourth in the shot put with a toss of 14.76m/48-5.25. In the javelin, sophomore Tyler Yee (Florida, N.Y.) earned runner-up with a throw of 56.95m/186-10 while junior Taylor Celestin (Mason, Ohio) was right behind in third (53.10m/174-2).
Miami returns home next weekend to host the Miami Invitational Friday and Saturday, April 5-6, in the first of two home track meets this year at George Rider Track.

COLUMBUS, G.A. - The Pfeiffer University softball team opened the 2014 season on Friday night, dropping a closely fought contest to Columbus State, 3-0. The matchup was the first of five games for the Falcons this weekend as Pfeiffer has drawn doubleheaders over the next two days of the Cougar Classic. With the loss, the Falcons drop to 0-1 on the young season and Columbus State improves to 5-2 overall. The win is credited to Columbus State's Kristen Carr and is her first of the season. Sophomore hurler Sam Jarmusch falls to 0-1 on the season with the loss for the Falcons.
Following the loss, Pfeiffer Head Coach Chris Vullo said that Columbus State is one of the best hitting teams the Falcons will face all season. Behind a solid defensive effort and miserly pitching, Pfeiffer was able to keep the matchup scoreless through the first half of play. The Falcons held Columbus State to just one hit over the course of the first three innings, and Jarmusch finished with three strikeouts.
The game started to break for the Cougars in the fourth inning when Casey Cooge doubled to right center field. Cooge would advance to third on a stolen base and eventually score on a single to left center by Carr. Columbus State would put two on the board in the fourth and tally one run in the sixth to take the victory.
Offensively the Falcons were lead by junior Lindsey Russell who bested all players with three hits for the game.
Pfeiffer returns to action tomorrow at noon when they take on Tusculum in their first matchup of the day. Following the Tusculum game the Falcons will take the field against Wingate at 2:30 pm.

Why even make this trade?
Hm. When does he become eligible to be traded with someone else?
Now I do voice overs. Finally!
Click here for my first voice demo!
Why even make this trade?
My Anthony Davis website: http://thebrow.uphero.com/
It just limits Dell's flexibility for two months- and for what? Not that this makes this a terrible trade, just a C- for me personally. You traded non-factor for non-factor and lost flexibilty
We have 8 guys who can play front court minutes. 6 who can play backcourt minutes and that includes Eric Gordon who won't be back until sometime around Memorial Day. Not every trade has to be a game changer, but it should at least be practical. Thats all we are seeing here.
Rivers seems to get hurt quite often from playing all out. I'm all about having some depth. I think Warrick played once this year.
I am gonna miss Hakim... The 7 mins he gave us this season were important. He'll be missed...
IMO Warrick was probably asking to be traded somewhere where he could play and Charlotte was the only team interested. They offer a very good locker room guy (And former DLeague MVP, FYI) and we thought "Eh why not. The back court is thin."
He becomes our oldest player. Welcome, Matt!
Team saves a little bit in salary and brings in a locker room guy who can shoot. Straight up, it's probably a bad deal for the Hornets. But overall, and considering the Hornets' situation, they're probably better off making this deal. Neither would play on this team anyway, and instead you get a locker room guy instead of a guy who might complain about not playing.
Cue the Star Wars Imperial March Music and let the domino falling begin. Demps says the games have begun.
Yay! Ever since I saw Desmond Mason throw it down on Matt Carroll, I've thought "OMG I want him on my team" haha but in all seriousness whenever he is in the game I will be chanting MVP at my computer + he does Roger Masons job better than Roger does
funny, i woke up this morning with a hunch that we made a trade...was expecting bigger i think :P
Jim Eichenhofer @Jim_Eichenhofer
Veteran guard Matt Carroll brings perimeter shooting, backcourt depth to Hornets: http://on.nba.com/TYm1wO
Two things I see with this:
1. It saves about $500,000 from the payroll. Doesn't sound like much, but for a small market team that type of cash can have real consequences. Especially if Dell is on a fixed budget with Benson like he was when the league was running things. 500k got us Carl Landry.
2. Carroll is a more tradeable piece. While Warrick has some very minor value as an actual player (which is debatable at his price tag really), Carroll is quite simply the cheaper expiring which provides more flexibility in making another deal.
January 13th is right in prime time for making further deals, so anyone complaining about that aspect is really just being impatient. Dell is playing chess not checkers, as usual.
With Gordon's horrible contract on the books you need to squeeze out every dollar you can for flexibility.
"Hornets means nothing." - Tom Benson
Matt may have lost a step but like others mentioned, he will be a "good locker room guy". Matt is a consummate professional who can and should knock down the open 3.
Emeka Okafor - Joe Smith - Carmelo Anthony - Manu Ginobili - Jason Williams
Al Jefferson - James Posey - Aaron McKie - Shaun Livingston
Warrick was the last frontcourt player on the depth chart... I'd take another shooter in exchange for a big that gets no minutes, and its not like Carroll is eating our cap space and crippling us in the future. Another good locker room guy isn't a bad thing either.

Usage Discussion of LEARN
Learn in the sense of "teach" dates from the 13th century and was standard until at least the early 19th <made them drunk with true Hollands—and then learned them the art of making bargains — Washington Irving>. But by Mark Twain's time it was receding to a speech form associated chiefly with the less educated <never done nothing for three months but set in his back yard and learn that frog to jump — Mark Twain>. The present-day status of learn has not risen. This use persists in speech, but in writing it appears mainly in the representation of such speech or its deliberate imitation for effect.
