GREENVILLE - A Greenville woman pleaded guilty Friday afternoon in a case involving the death of her baby.
Lauren K. Jones, 28, entered a guilty plea to one count of Endangering Children, a felony of the third degree, in the Darke County Common Pleas Court. The state dismissed an indicted count of Involuntary Manslaughter, a felony of the first degree, in exchange for her change of plea and testimony against her co-defendant, and the father of the child in the case.
Jones and 29-year-old Scott A. Webber, the parents of the 16-month-old female baby, allegedly gave the child the over-the-counter sleep-aid ZzzQuil in February 2013. An investigation led to charges being filed against the couple after the baby died as a result of poor sleeping environment and the drug in her system, according to Darke County Prosecuting Attorney Kelly Ormsby.
Jones is currently being held on a $75,000 bond in the Darke County Criminal Justice Center awaiting sentencing on April 4 at 3 p.m. Webber is scheduled for a jury trial starting March 18 in the Darke County Common Pleas Court.
Jones is represented by Miami County defense attorney Jack Hemm. She faces a maximum of 36 months and a $10,000 fine in the case.

- Got A Question?
First, a little about my business: Five Star Auto Center is a full service conveyor carwash with a full service auto repair and lube center located in Rocklin, CA. We offer hand wash and detail services, providing the cleanest vehicle possible. Our motto is "Quality at an affordable price."
For the past six years, Five Star has been named "Best of the Best" in its local market. Our customers love the fact that we have one of the lowest turnover rates in the industry with some of our employees working here for over 10 years!
The decision to go solar
In 2007, I was invited to attend a conference on solar powering your business. It was a general program not specific to the carwash industry. I left the conference thinking we could be the first solar powered carwash in the United States.
This became my inspiration as I firmly believe to succeed you must differentiate yourself from the competition. I also felt strongly that our industry is not always shown in a favorable light and this would be a step towards improving the image of the industry.
I started to research the possibility of converting our facility into solar power. We solicited bids from eight different purveyors and finally after months of discussions, negotiations and number crunching we selected Solar Power, Inc. as our vendor.
The next phase was planning out install and obtaining financing to make the program work financially. My requirements were:
• Zero out-of-pocket expense;
• Payment equal or less than existing electric bill;
• Must provide 80-90 percent of power requirements; and
• Must be able to do installation without shutting down facility.
After much searching we were able to work out a deal with our bankers where we would provide them with the power company rebate and the federal tax credits in exchange for basically a zero interest rate on a 10- year lease of the system with a minimum buyout at the end.
The project
We ended up installing 612 solar panels erected on four custom built support structures that also included shade for our employees while working on customer vehicles. In order to continue doing business we had to rearrange our entry and vacuum area and were able to create three vacuum lanes and service writer area.
Business actually continued with minimal disruptions. I think we were down a total of a few hours over the three and a half months from start to finish.
The process worked with only minor setbacks including a bad power inverter — the unit that converts the solar and feeds it back directly to us and sending any excess production back to the power company.
As far as a learning curve, the process was relatively simple. I do regret not fully understanding how Pacific Gas & Electric would credit us for our production. Turns out that if we produce more than we use it goes back to the power company without any credit to us. I believe this is different depending upon your state laws.
With this in mind the vendor sized our system a little smaller to be sure we were not going to produce more than we used. As it turns out this, while frustrating, was not a meaningful issue as we only over produce during the peak times of the year and the credit program is on an annualized basis.
The other learning curve issue was not being involved with the invertor selection as we had two different failures one that took us offline during some of the best production days of the summer.
The benefits
The benefits of the system are incredible and include:
• Cost-savings
• The resulting production of almost 90 percent of our electric power requirements;
• The ability to be a green certified business (BERC certified); and
• An overwhelmingly positive response from our community. In fact, we were voted Green Business of the Year by our local Chamber of Commerce.
The end result (chart) is we have reduced our power costs by almost 90 percent from around $34,000 per year down to only a little over $4,000 for our second full year with the system.
Coupling the annual lease costs with the net electric costs make this literally a zero cost improvement with not one nickel out of pocket expense.
Not only did we succeed with most of our pre-system goals, we have been able to produce enough power to supply 28 average sized homes for a year and have saved the equivalent of over 283,000 pounds of C02 from being put into our atmosphere — which is like taking over 315 cars off the roadways for a year. How's that for a carwash giving back to its community!

A Sacramento TV station is reporting that a current minority owner of the Sacramento Kings wants to buy the team and keep them from moving to Seattle.
The report indicates the owner has $350 million, and a verbal commitment for another $400 million. His plan is to keep the Kings and build a privately financed arena.
The majority owners have reached an agreement to sell their stake in the team to investor Chris Hansen s ownership group, with the goal to move the team to Seattle as early as this fall. The sale must still be approved by the NBA.
The Sacramento City Council is expected to meet Tuesday to discuss paying $150,000 to hire consultants and attorneys to help negotiate a deal for a new arena.

Siding is important part of home's structure
Published On: Jul 26 2012 02:41:34 PM EDT Updated On: Aug 07 2012 03:19:57 PM EDT
Although many believe siding is only important for visual appearance, it is actually one of the most important parts of a home's structure.
Siding protects homes from being damaged by different types of weather -- be it the beating sun, pouring rain or melting ice.
When choosing siding for your home it is essential to keep in mind geographical location and everyday moisture level. It is also important to think about how much maintenance you are willing to do on your home.

In the latest edition of View from the Booth, Cobi Jones and Joe Tutino preview the Houston Dynamo match.
Check it out below...
CARSON, Calif.—On Sunday, LA Galaxy midfielder Colin Clark will be looking to take on his former club, but he understands that he'll need to improve his sharpness to see the field.
The 29-year-old midfielder joined the Galaxy in the offseason from the Houston Dynamo via the MLS Re-Entry Draft and has made just five appearances for the Galaxy during the 2013 season with four starts. Clark admits that he lost a step in terms of his speed after suffering two ACL tears in 2010 and 2011, but he's confident that he can regain his form with the Galaxy.
"I haven't been completely sharp; I'm just missing bad turnovers in certain areas where we have a good chance at goal. I'm just missing that final pass so it's really about cleaning that up as far as my level of sharpness," Clark told reporters earlier this week. "It's just being all around better. Practice as well as reserve games even the minutes if I get in the first team those have to be sharper."
Although Clark has every reason to be frustrated, the winger is keeping a level head.
"I've had up and downs before," said Clark. "You just have to deal with it and work harder and put in some extra time."
CARSON, Calif. –Bruce Arena and Dominic Kinnear are two of the finest coaches in MLS and on Sunday, the two will duel as the LA Galaxy take on the Houston Dynamo at The Home Depot Center.
Both coaches rank among the top five in most overall wins with Arena sitting at number two while Kinnear is in fourth. The two coaches account for four of the 18 MLS Coach of the Year awards handed out in MLS history as well as appearances 11 MLS Cup titles in total. Arena has won four MLS Cup trophies as a head coach while Kinnear has two MLS Cup titles of his own.
The pair may be two of the most dominant coaches in MLS history, but Arena has had the edge over his Houston counterpart with a 5-4-1 regular season record (4-3-1 while with the Galaxy) against Kinnear while holding a 3-0-0 record in the postseason including two MLS Cup titles.
Ahead of their first and only –regular season—clash, Arena offered his thoughts of his coaching counterpart.
"It's certainly Dominic's team. Dominic is that franchise. He's built it from scratch, they moved it from San Jose, but that's all Dominic," Arena told reporters, also stating that he's known Kinnear since before the 1994 World Cup. "His outstanding qualities as a coach, although he's not technically he's not called general manager, he's fully responsible for putting that team together. He does an outstanding job and his record speaks for itself. He's won championships, he's been in God knows how many finals [Six all-time as a coach and four as a head coach]. He's really done an outstanding coaching job."
It was a comeback for the ages as Monterrey won their third consecutive CONCACAF Champions League Final with a 4-2 victory over Santos Laguna.
Santos Laguna was up by two goals heading into the last half hour after strikes from Carlos Quintero and Felipe Beloy, but it was not to be for Santos. Los Rayados roared back with four goals in the last 30 minutes with two from Aldo De Nigris as well as strikes from Neri Cardozo and Humberto Suazo. The title sealed Monterrey's third consecutive victory and their second straight over Santos, who they defeated in the 2011/2012 edition of the tournament.
As we flip the script to the 2013/2014 edition of the tournament, the Montreal Impact eliminated Toronto FC in the semifinals of the 2013 Amway Canadian Championship by overcoming a 2-0 first leg deficit to win 6-0 at Stade Saputo. They'll face Vancouver Whitecaps FC, who defeated NASL side FC Edmonton 2-0 at BC Place to advance 5-3 on aggregate.
Montreal will host Vancouver in the first leg of the Canadian Championship on May 15 before the second leg at BC Place on May 29.
The Houston Dynamo will be without their chief playmaker Brad Davis for their MLS Cup rematch against the LA Galaxy.
An independent review panel rejected an appeal filed by the Dynamo after Davis was given a red card for a foul committed in the fifth minute of second half stoppage time in an April 28 game against the Colorado Rapids.
In order for a call to be overturned, the panel must be unanimous in its decision that the red card issued was an error.
Video of the play is below...
CARSON, Calif. – Jack McBean underwent surgery on Tuesday to repair a fractured left clavicle suffered during the LA Galaxy's 2-0 victory over Real Salt Lake last Saturday and according to LA head coach Bruce Arena, the injury may sideline the 18-year-old forward till mid-summer.
The injury occurred in the 51st minute of LA's road win over RSL when McBean collided with RSL center back Nat Borchers. Prior to the injury, McBean had appeared in ten matches across all competitions while scoring two goals and tallying two assists.
Following training on Wednesday, Arena confirmed that McBean's surgery was a success.
"Everything was good. My understanding was that it was a clean break, they surgically repaired it and we're optimistic that he'll have a speedy recovery," Arena said.
As for a timeline for McBean's return, Arena told reporters that he may return sometime in July.
"I think it is six to eight weeks," said Arena. "I think they periodically check and see how the break is healing. Everyone is a little bit different, but that's something where we would think that he would be ready at July in some point.
The injury will almost certainly rule McBean out of contention for the U.S. U-20 roster for the U-20 World Cup in Turkey roster as the tournament will take place from June 21 to July 13.
Despite the severity of the injuries, Arena admitted that injuries "are part of the game" and he had no ill will towards Borchers for the foul that led to the injuries.
"I've never seen that kind of injury on contact from behind on a shoulder blade," said Arena. "I would have thought that you would have gotten a dislocation or a separation not a break like that so it was surprising. Borchers went in hard for the ball, so fair play."
CARSON, Calif. –Former LA Galaxy Academy player Jeffrey Payeras may be a key member of Guatemalan giants Municipal, but the defender believes that he gained plenty during his time with LA.
Payeras was a key member of the club's academy and also played several games with the club's reserve squad making his Reserve League debut in July of 2011. It was during his academy days with the Galaxy and youth club Pateadores that he became close friends with LA Homegrown players Oscar Sorto and Jose Villarreal, who also attended Amino Leadership High School.
The native of Hawthorne, California parlayed his success with LA's Academy into a tryout and then deal with Municipal where he has the chance to play in the birth country of his parents.
Last week, Payeras spent a week with the U.S. Under-20 team during their camp at The Home Depot Center and drew high marks from head coach Tab Ramos. The center back started in both scrimmages that the U-20's held during the week with the first team and appears to be a contender to earn a spot at the 2013 World Cup in Turkey later this year.
During the camp, Payeras spoke briefly with LA Galaxy Insider and other reporters as he refelcted on his time with LA, his new experience in Guatemala and the U.S. U-20's.
The conversation with the Galaxy Academy alum is below…
(On how he got the call to the U.S. U-20 camp…)
PAYERAS: "I got the call up [in mid-April]. I'm very excited and very happy and all thanks to God because everything is happening right now and I got signed with my team over there in Guatemala and I got called up here. Now, I just want to work hard and hopefully become a part of the team."
(On how he chose Municipal…)
PAYERAS: "I went over in December and tried out for two weeks then they decided to sign me and offered me a contract so I decided to stay. Not only is my family from there, but I felt good staying there."
(On whether he ever faced off against fellow Hawthorne native and Leuzinger High School grad Gyasi Zardes…)
PAYERAS: "No, I didn't. He was a year younger than me. He went a different high school, but my brother played against him."
(On how his game is growing in Guatemala…)
PAYERAS: "It's a little bit different, but I'm just learning from the guys over there and the way that they play there. It's different to the way that we play here, but I'm just adapting and getting used to it."
PAYERAS: "It's a little bit different, but I'm just learning from the guys over there and the way that they play there. It's different to the way that we play here, but I'm just adapting and getting used to it."
(On his conversations with head coach Tab Ramos…)
PAYERAS: "We haven't really talked, but he told us about the tournament and hopefully I'm a part of the team."
(On whether coming to the Galaxy as a Homegrown Player was ever in option…)
PAYERAS: "I'm just happy that I was with them when I was and if it would have happened then I would have been excited too, but I'm excited where I am right now."
(On what he gained with the LA Galaxy Academy…)
PAYERAS: "You learn from professionals and I learned how they played and being professional as a person on the field and off the field."
(On his living experience in Guatemala…)
PAYERAS: "I have an apartment and I live with three teammates over there. It's good. It's 10 minutes away from the training facility and it's good. It's in the city."
(On where his family is from in Guatemala…)
PAYERAS: "They're from a city called Santa Rosa, which is an hour and a half away. I visit there every once in a while. my dad was there this past month and my uncle's and my grandma are there."
(On his thoughts about coming to MLS…)
PAYERAS: "It's up to what happens in the future. I would love to be here in the U.S.A and play here, but for now I'm over there and who knows if the opportunity comes then I would love to."
LAGalaxy.com videographer Paolo Ferrari joined in during Tuesday's media scrum and has provided a video reaction of Robbie Rogers training with the LA Galaxy.
The clip includes a few shots of Rogers training with the team.
Check it out below.
CARSON, Calif. –LA Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena confirmed on Tuesday that Jack McBean underwent surgery for a fractured left clavicle suffered during the 51st minute of the LA Galaxy's 2-0 victory over Real Salt Lake.
The injury occurred after McBean collided with RSL center back Nat Borchers leading him to be substituted for fellow Homegrown forward Gyasi Zardes two minutes later. No timetable has been set for McBean's return.
The 18-year-old forward had become a regular in the Galaxy rotation by appearing in ten matches across all competitions including five starts all coming in MLS play. McBean even began to contribute on the scoresheet as he notched two goals and two assists, one of which came in LA's win over RSL.
On Tuesday in the club's first training session since the victory, Landon Donovan expressed his disappointment for McBean.
"I was bummed for Jack, he's played really well," He's been here a couple of years now and trained well, played well for the reserve team, now he's getting his chance to play. It was a bummer for him, but it is part of the game, but he'll come back and be ready."
When asked if McBean's injury may provide the youngster with an smidgen of perspective after his run of form, Donovan agreed.
"He's young and he just wants to keep playing and playing and it's frustrating when he's doing well so and that happens. He'll be fine and sometimes it's good to take a step back, I agree, but we know that he'll come back and be ready."
CARSON, Calif. – Robbie Rogers may be training with the LA Galaxy, but the team that owns his rights, the Chicago Fire are clearly in interested in adding him to their club.
In an interview with reporters on Tuesday, Chicago head coach Frank Klopas stated that the Fire would be interested in bringing him to the Fire. Rogers rights were acquired by the Fire in the offseason from the Columbus Crew.
"It's great, with his home in LA, for him to go back and play, that's great news," Klopas said. "Before he came out, we made that move because we believe Robbie Rogers is a very good player and we knew at some point that he was leaving his team in England. That hasn't changed.
"It's great that he came out, that's all great, and a lot of people support him. We are, too. He's a young guy, it's great for him to come back and play. That's why we took his rights."
Klopas also admitted that he had not heard from Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena about a potential deal for Rogers' rights.
"At some point I'm sure they will," said Klopas. "For us, he's a very good player. We'd like to have him here with us."

Huskies' Overstreet steps on a new stage
One-time child actor pursues his his dream of playing Division I basketball
Mark Mulligan / The Herald
Dion Overstreet, sitting inside Hec Edmundson Pavilion, has been invited to walk-on WITH THE University of Washington basketball team.

Her intuition soon proved fruitful, first with the modeling assignments, then the television ads and then the offers for the child to appear alongside people like Bernie Mac and Ellen Degeneres in TV sitcoms.
If only the path to Division I basketball had been so easy for Dion Overstreet Jr.
Before getting an offer to join the University of Washington men's basketball team as a walk-on late last month, Overstreet was a bit of a hoops vagabond who stubbornly held on to his dream. He always knew he had what it took to play NCAA Division I ball, and the 5-foot-9 guard from Venice High School in Los Angeles -- by way of Edmonds Community College -- was going to do whatever it took to get there.
"That's one thing about me: I never settle," he said. "I'm never satisfied. I always want to compete at the highest level."
Overstreet's cross-country journey from Oakland to Hollywood to New Jersey to Edmonds to Montlake had a few lucky breaks along the way, and meeting a former NBA player named Sean Higgins proved to be a key moment along the way for the child-star-turned-hoops-junkie. Higgins took Overstreet under his wing about seven years ago, when the former University of Michigan star was coaching minor-league basketball in Los Angeles, and he's the one who eventually convinced the L.A. kid to pass on a Division II scholarship from the East Coast to play at Edmonds CC.
That didn't initially look like an obvious stepping stone to the Pacific-12 Conference, but Overstreet's gritty determination helped him get to UW when all doors seemed to be closed.
After two weeks of playing open-gym pickup games with several current and former UW players, and getting another break when the Huskies lost recruit Mark McLaughlin in early August, Overstreet finally got the call. Lorenzo Romar, who had never even seen Overstreet play a game, delivered the news that the Huskies were offering a spot as a walk-on.
"I didn't know what to expect," Overstreet said last week. "I just put it in God's hands, like, 'It's all going to work out.' I knew it would all work out. I did what I could in open gym, so that's all I could control."
For most of his youth, Overstreet looked like a good bet to be a star on a different kind of stage. His small roles in shows like "Ellen," "The Bernie Mac Show," "Malcolm in the Middle" and "Chicago Hope" helped pay the bills for a single mother while providing a career path from the young actor from Oakland.
He once appeared in a Pizza Hut commercial with none other than Muhammad Ali. A few years later, during an audition for a part he didn't end up getting in a movie called "Magnolia," Overstreet showed up for the reading expecting to find behind-the-scenes directors and producers but instead opened the door to see A-list actor Tom Cruise waiting to read lines with him.
"You kind of get nervous when a big star like that is at your audition," Overstreet said last week, smiling and shaking his head.
The acting bug dug deep into Overstreet's skin, and yet it didn't stay there forever. He quit acting in the ninth grade, opting instead to focus on his next goal: playing Division I basketball.
It was around that time that Higgins came into his life while training young basketball players in his spare hours. Higgins loved Overstreet's potential but didn't initially believe he had what it took to make it on the basketball court.
"I remember the first day I worked with Dion, and he wanted to quit," Higgins said last week. "He wasn't used to (being pushed hard on the court). His mom -- he has a great mom -- she pushed him into staying."
Perseverance would become the attribute Higgins most appreciated about Overstreet, and he kept in touch with the kid through the coming years. Overstreet played on a struggling team at Venice High School, then missed out on a chance to walk on at UC Irvine when his grades slipped as a high school senior.
Having decided to go to Apex Academy prep school in New Jersey after his senior year, Overstreet finally got an offer from a four-year school. It was a Division II school out East, and so he jumped at the chance to return to the West Coast when Higgins called in the summer of 2010 to offer a different kind of opportunity.
Higgins had recently taken a job as head coach at Edmonds CC, and he was looking for talented players to help build the program. He convinced Overstreet that a Division I offer might be there if the guard could put together a solid highlight tape at the junior college level.
Overstreet's first year at Edmonds CC didn't go as planned.
"Everyone was out of control," he said. "It was people's first college year, and it seemed like everyone's attitude affected the entire team. We won some games, but we didn't have that bond and chemistry."
A weightroom warrior whose biceps make him look more like a running back than a point guard, Overstreet put in extra time in the gym after his freshman year to improve his jump shot and become a more complete player. A switch to shooting guard helped show off his scoring prowess -- he averaged 13.9 points per game last season and had a season-best 42 against Shoreline CC -- and yet the D-I offers never came. Not many Pacific-12 Conference schools are in the market for 5-9 two-guards, and so Overstreet found himself on the verge of basketball extinction.
And so, as Overstreet said last week, "I became like my own business man."
He started sending out game tapes and calling coaches throughout the West. Gonzaga, Washington State and Colorado State were among his targets. But UW, a program with which he had fallen in love while watching Will Conroy and Nate Robinson when Overstreet was in high school, was Overstreet's undeniable target.
He ended up contacting a UW assistant about the remote possibility of walking onto the team. NCAA rules prevented Romar and his staff from watching Overstreet live during the summer, so all the coach could tell him was to show up for open-gym sessions at UW and hope to make a mark. Overstreet was sleeping on a friend's couch and spending his free time doing three-hour shooting sessions, working out or jogging. Then he would head back to open gym, where he tried his best to make an impression playing with and against former Huskies like Isaiah Thomas and Terrence Ross, as well as returning players like Abdul Gaddy.
UW had recently lost McLaughlin, a junior-college transfer who was supposed to be the lone member of this year's recruiting class, and so the Huskies were already short on players.
As Romar said last week: "We were looking for bodies."
The coach began asking around, and players like Gaddy recommended Overstreet because of his attitude and 94-foot, Venoy Overton-like defense.
"They felt he could be competitive enough where he could hold his own," Romar said last week. "He came out one day, we looked at him (in an individual tryout), and we invited him to join the team."
That call came in late August, right before the team left for an international trip. Overstreet, who did not make that trip, had spent two weeks sleeping on a couch, working out, playing open-gym basketball and chasing a dream.
With only a single suitcase of clothes by his side, Dion Overstreet Jr. had finally done it.
He had become a Husky.
"He's done through some ups and downs and persevered," said Higgins, now an independent scout who no longer coaches at Edmonds CC. "Dion, he's been through a lot. He comes from humble beginnings. He fit the profile of a kid anyone would want to have in their program."
With most of his acting money dried up, Overstreet is relying on Sallie Mae loans to pay for school. He didn't earn the scholarship that will help get his UW teammates through school, but that doesn't really matter to Overstreet now. What matters is that he achieved his dream of being a Division I basketball player.
"My route was different, but I think everything happened for a reason," he said last week. "Everything prepared me for this situation. … Everywhere I go, I have to go out and prove myself."
Overstreet said he hasn't given up on acting. He might get back into it one day, but for now he's majoring in communications and looking to forge a career path in the journalism field.
"Somebody told me: 'When you're young, plant all your seeds,'" he said of his diverse portfolio.
For now, Overstreet is focused on school and basketball. He finally achieved his dream, and now the former Edmonds CC player wants to show how far he can take it.
"This is still a new stage for me," he said. "I've never experienced thousands of people screaming their lungs out. My adrenaline is definitely going to be pumping."
It just might be that stardom was not meant for Dion Overstreet Jr. But don't bet against this strong-armed man with the childlike face.
When it comes to chasing a dream, he's got his mother's tenacity and a stubborn way of throwing himself in with both feet.

Lisbon, Maine
Comment: I'm 6'3" and it's hard to find quality products that fit like they are actually made for you. This is one of those Great Quality at a GREAT price.
Comment: Really nice looking vest for the taller guy. Liked it so much,l I bought another one!
Lakewood Ranch, FL
Comment: This vest was an awesome deal, easily selling for two to three times the price for comparable vests. There were no blemishes anywhere on the leather and it has a nice heft to it. My club's Colors and patches looked great when sewn on. There are two outside pockets as well as two inside. The pockets have no snaps so items could potentially fall out. I followed Jafrum's suggestion about measuring my actual chest size and the vest fit like a glove. I would probably order a size larger if you have a bit of a gut though, because the fit is almost like it is tapered towards the waist. I'm 6'2" and the vest covered my belt just fine. I have a broad chest, 52", and there was plenty of room without any binding. Got a few compliments from the ladies for the slimmer fit. PAY ATTENTION to actually measuring your chest size, then making your purchase based on that or one size bigger if wearing over a lighter leather jacket or, as already mentioned, you have a stomach bigger than your chest. Jafrum's sizing is unique. Normally I wear 2XX for vests and coats, not 4XXXX. The product is made in Pakistan, and aside from some thread ends needing to be melted with a lighter, I was extremely pleased and will definitely do business with Jafrum again.

Comment: This is a really nice vest at any price, but a heck of a nice vest at $35. It is made of rich full grain heavy leather, the stitching is flawless and the size is accurate. I'm 6' 3" and it fits great. Love the extra length. Vest back has a V yoke and seam down the center which looks great, but be aware if you want to sew on your club colors. Highly recommended!!

Comment: Just writing to comment about the wording on Tall Mens Leather Motorcycle Vest with Gun Holsters MV102 Tall. Ordered this vest and it is awesome. I love it. I was talking to a gun dealer I know and when I showed him the link, he asked what they meant by 12mm handgun. After speaking with him, he thought it might be a good idea to word this description better so that people who do know and carry guns would be more likely to purchase this item. Maybe something along the lines of "fits most 9mm sized handguns and some slightly larger" and maybe have the size of the pockets listed. Hope this is helpful feedback for your company. I am constantly touting your company as I have had nothing but good service with you. Thank you for your time.

National team competitions
25-24, 31-21, 25-21, 19-12
EWE Baskets Oldenburg brought out the big guns in Game 3 of their quarter-final play-off series with Khimik Yuzhne and outscored the Ukranian side 100-74 to clinch the last spot in the EuroChallenge Final Four.
The deciding encounter started out as a balanced affair on a frenetic tempo, as Oldenburg had to fight tooth and nail with their guests simply to be up by one point, 25-24, at the end of the first quarter.
The lead changed hands 15 times in the first 12 minutes, while the scores were level on eight occasions.
However, when Rickey Paulding hit a three-pointer from the top of the key 1:09 from the end of the second quarter to give Oldenburg their biggest lead up until that point, 54-43, something enormously important became apparent - the hosts could keep up at the same rhythm all night long.
They led 56-45 at half-time and came out of the locker rooms looking as fresh as ever, continuing to run the floor and score in transition, while Khimik gradually started slowing down.
Oldenburg took their largest lead in the entire series, 70-55, on another three by Paulding, before a Julius Jenkins lay-up on the fast break extended that to 17, 72-55, 3:54 from the end of the third quarter.
The German side continued to pile up the misery on their guests and even increased the gap to 24, before taking their foot off the gas a bit in the final frame, in which they scored only 19 points.
Paulding led the charge for the winners with 24 points and seven rebounds, while Adam Chubb finished with 22 points on 10-for-11 shooting from the floor and Jenkins had 17 points and four assists.
Willie Deane led all Khimik scorers with 23 points and added four assists in a losing effort.

Oldenburg head coach Sebastian Machowski: "I'm glad that we don't have to leave right after the game. This was the fourth game for us in the last eight days. And the team played very well in most of those games. Even after the tough loss in Ukraine, we bounced back and won our league game in Tübingen in convincing fashion. Today, we scored the ball really well and as a result of that, really deserved this win. I had a great time watching from the sidelines and really enjoyed being a part of all this."
Oldenburg player Adam Chubb: "We knew that Khimik were no pushovers. They came here ready to fight and had the same aspirations as us to advance to the Final Four. But we were prepared for their physical game and we stayed in our offensive sets. When our shots started to fall, we simply played hard, kept our concentration and had fun together. I can't remember when I last had a game with so many dunkings. Khimik didn't make it easy for us but in the end I think we deserved to advance."

Because of all the publicity, you might naturally think that most underage drinking deaths are related to driving while intoxicated. Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) wants parents to know that the dangers of underage drinking are even greater off the roadways.
MADD analyzed 2010 data from the FBI, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on deaths related to underage alcohol use.
What they found may surprise you. The study showed that only 32 percent of underage drinkers died from traffic related deaths. 68 percent were from other causes. Researchers found that 30 percent died from homicides, 14 percent from suicide, 9 percent from alcohol poisoning and 15 percent from other causes.
"As parents, we are definitely aware of the dangers of drinking and driving," says MADD national President Jan Withers. "I think we're not as educated about all the dangers that drinking before age 21 can be related to. And they're very, very real."
Child health experts agree that talking with your child about alcohol use should begin before they are at the age where temptation and availability are present. That can range anywhere from pre-teen to college age. Its never too late to have that discussion.
Sometimes parents mistakenly believe that if a child is introduced to alcohol drinking in the home that its much safer for them. They believe that their kids are in a controlled environment and not on the road afterwards. But as the analysis shows, being on the road isnt the only concern parents should be thinking and talking about.
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration's 2011 National Survey on Drug Use and Health found that one-quarter of people ages 12-20 (9.7 million children) reported drinking within the previous month. Among those who did not illegally buy booze themselves, 21.4 percent were supplied alcohol from parents, guardians or other adult

Reading from "Idoru"
William Gibson is considered one of the foremost science fiction authors today. His books have dared to revolutionize the way that we perceive the future and innovatively combine daily life with technology.
Gibson's groundbreaking novel, Neuromancer (1984), coined the now popular phrase cyberpunk. This 1984 book won Gibson the Hugo, Nebula, and Phillip K. Dick Awards, and earned him the reputation of being "science fiction's hottest author." The popularity of his collection, Burning Chrome (1986), led to the film adaption of his story, Johnny Mnemonic (1995).
Praised for his stark realism, gritty language, and fast pace, Gibson has truly become one of the most visionary science-fiction writers ever. Although his books are set in the future, they are singularly contemporary in outlook. In the preface to Burning Chrome, Bruce Sterling explains that his short stories "paint an instantly recognizable portrait of the modern predicament [and show] the hidden bulk of an iceberg of social change."
Please join the Athenaeum for this first public reading from William Gibson's newly completed work, Idoru (1996).
Orange County Politics: Post Bankruptcy
TUESDAY, MARCH 5, 1996 12:15 p.m.
Is the ruthless cut-and-thrust world of campaign parties an all-male preserve? Or can a woman prosper and flourish as a leading campaign manager? Is Orange County monopolized by conservative Republicans and the "Christian Right"? Or can a pro-choice feminist play a leading behind-the-scenes role?
Eileen Padberg is uniquely qualified to give answers to these questions. She has managed public affairs and political campaigns in both the public and private sectors for more than twenty years. In 1986 she managed the Clint Eastwood for Mayor of Carmel campaign, as well as many successful campaigns from governor to City Council, including two major statewide initiatives. In 1988 Padberg served as the Western Regional Political Director of the George Bush for President campaign in California, Hawaii, and Nevada.
On the corporate side, Padberg provides strategic planning and corporate public affairs services for clients which include a national not-for-profit organization to combat drunk driving and the illegal use of alcohol by minors. She also organizes and manages grassroots coalitions in fifteen cities nationwide. Padberg is an appointee of Governor Pete Wilson to the commission on the Status of Women and is active in the Trusteeship, a network of Southern California professional women.
The Rose Institute of State and Local Government and the Athenaeum are sponsoring this lecture and discussion on the political and economic climate in Orange County. Lunch is served at 11:45 a.m. Eileen Padberg will speak at 12:15 p.m.
The Rhetoric of Assent Today
Can we reason about values? Wayne Booth has defied modernist dogmas which have reduced rational argumentation either to experimental proof or irresponsible cries of the heart. Challenging the pervasive demands for systematic doubt, Booth has attempted to restore meaningful and persuasive discourse about values by recovering the insights of classical rhetoric for contemporary reasoning.
One of the most important and influential literary critics of our time, Wayne Booth, the George M. Pullman Distinguished Service Professor of English at the University of Chicago, has been in the forefront of rediscovering the ethical dimensions of rhetoric, fiction and story-telling.
His books include The Rhetoric of Fiction (1961); Critical Understandings: The Power and Limits of Pluralism (1979); A Rhetoric of Irony (1975), The Vocation of a Teacher: Rhetocical Occasions, 1967-1988 (1990), and The Company We Keep: An Ethics of Fiction (1988).
Please join us for dinner and this provocative talk about rhetoric and values in modern society.
Raising Darwin's Consciousness: Female Sexuality and the Prehomid Origins of Patriarchy
Behavioral biologist Dr. Sarah Blaffer Hrdy has been credited with revolutionizing the field of sociobiology, challenging certain tenets of Darwinian theory while expanding the study of female sexuality. Her work in anthropology and animal behavior has been instrumental in establishing new theories concerning the evolution of female sexuality, competition, orgasm, infanticide, and reproductive strategies.
Over the last two decades, Hrdy's research has dispelled myths of female subservience and coyness. Featured in the book, Reinventing the Future: Conversations with the World's Leading Scientists (1994), she described the nature of this work: "We've tried so hard to change stereotypes about females and say: 'Look, females are not just passive; they are also competitive and assertive creatures.' But that is not to say they are only competitive, vicious, and cunning. They are in fact cooperative, nurturing, competitive, cunning, intelligent, and creative. Rather than reducing female nature to any single set of stereotypes, we want to talk about a whole range of potentialities."
Hrdy's distinguished career has been highlighted by a number of landmark books and articles. The book, The Langurs of Abu: Female and Male Strategies of Reproduction (1977), shattered the image of a female with a biologically-determined life of monogamy and sexual passivity. Considered a classic study of India's sacred hanuman monkeys, this book revealed the complex sexual strategies employed by female primates. Her other books are The Woman That Never Evolved (1981) and Infanticide: Comparative and Evolutionary Perspectives (1984).
Her recent articles also include "Rethinking Mothers' Nature" (1995), "Infanticide: Let's not throw out the baby with the bath water" (1995), and "Sons versus Daughters: How they fare in different human and animal societies" (1988).
With a Ph.D. from Harvard University, Hrdy is a professor of anthropology at the University of California, Davis. She is coming to Claremont as the David E. French Lecturer for 1996.

Forever Barbie: The Unauthorized Biography of a Real Doll
Mattel's Barbie is the most successful doll in the history of the world. Through the years this eternally 30-something icon has accumulated over one billion pairs of shoes, over 900 million outfits, a Ferrari, jewels, and designer dresses. She has glided through numerous career changes, and she has worked as a teacher, baseball player, baton twirler, prom queen, and disco queen.
In her most recent book, Forever Barbie: The Unauthorized Biography of a Real Doll (1994), M.G. Lord examines the toy as a reflection of popular cultural values and notions about femininity. After graduating with honors from Yale University, she moved to New York City, where she currently resides.
Lord shrewdly traces the evolution of Barbie from a mere imitation of Bild Lilli, a voluptuous German doll designed for adult men, into her emergence as one of the most powerful cultural icons in the world. Interestingly, Barbie is historically reflective of the role of women in our society, and has had a profound influence on women's lives, from empowerment to eating disorders.
Among those praising this book is Susan Faludi, who describes the work as "an elegant meditation on the meaning of Barbie [that] will shake up your rusty preconceptions and make you think of America's most celebrated plastic doll in ways you never have before." Please join us to hear a fresh perspective on the most successful toy ever, as part of the Athenaeum series "The New Feminism."
The Tense Embrace of the Other: U.S.-Mexico Relations
RUBÉN MARTíNEZ
As part of its continuing series, "Politics and Popular Culture in the Latino Community," the Athenaeum is pleased to host the return of Rubén Martínez, Emmy Award-winning journalist, poet, and performer. His lecture will tackle the multifaceted relations between the United States and Mexico, two neighbors with distinct conceptions of life and history.
Perhaps best known as a co-host of "Life and Times," the KCET series on politics and culture, Martínez has written The Other Side: Notes from the New L.A., Mexico City, and Beyond (1993). This collection of essays and poetry has won widespread critical acclaim. Currently, he is at work on his second book, a journalistic novel about the changing cultural and political landscape of Mexico.
A former news editor of L.A. Weekly, Martínez is the Los Angeles bureau chief for Pacific News Service and a guest commentator on National Public Radio's All Things Considered. His articles have appeared in The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Village Voice, La Opinión, The Nation, and New Perspectives Quarterly. He also teaches journalism at CMC and Chicano studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara.
Beyond this professional life in journalism, Martínez is a successful poet and artist who has gained international recognition. Recently featured as a spoken-word artist on MTV-Latino, Martínez been an artist-in-residence with Los Angeles public schools for almost a decade. He has also appeared in Danger Zone/Terreno Peligroso (1995) -a month-long series of performances that earned raves in both Los Angeles and Mexico City. Martínez has performed at the Los Angeles Metropolitan County Museum of Art, The House of Blues, Centro Cultural de la Raza, and The National Civil Rights Museum among other venues.
In the field of journalism, Martínez has won an Emmy for his work on "Life and Times," and his coverage of the Rodney King investigation and its aftermath earned him a Greater Los Angeles Press Club award of excellence. For his literary endeavors, he has been accorded a fellowship in literature from the California Arts Council, a Santa Monica Arts Council prize in literature, and a Chicano Literary Contest Prize from the University of California, Irvine.
Science and Religion
With a background as both a research scientist and a pastor, Dr. Hugh Ross has dedicated his professional life to bridging the gulf between science and religion.
An astronomer, Ross studies current developments in the physical and life sciences and looks at their theological implications.

The Changing Face of Religion in America: Religious Fundamentalism
Martin Marty is one of this country's foremost theologians, consistently expanding the common understanding of faith and advancing the scholarly study of religion. For over 35 years, he has examined the role of religion in the United States and its evolving relationship with American politics, free thought, and constitutional law. In his return visit to the Athenaeum, Marty will speak to the dynamic changes that are now taking place in the religious world and their potential impact on America as a whole. During his last visit on the occasion of the bicentennial celebration of the United States Constitution, Marty explained how a multiplicity of religious congregations helped to create the fundamental principles of that document.
Marty is a prolific writer who has written over 40 books on religion in America. These include: The Glory and the Power: The Fundamentalist Challenge to the Modern World (1993); The Infidel: Free Thought and American Religion (1961); Religion and Republic: The American Circumstance (1987); and Pilgrims in Their Own Land: 500 Years of Religion in America (1984). He has served as senior editor of the weekly The Christian Century, editor of the fortnightly newsletter Context, and coeditor of the quarterly, Church History. His book, Righteous Empire: The Protestant Experience in America (1970), won the National Book Award in 1972.
Since 1963 Marty has taught at the Divinity School of the University of Chicago where he is the Fairfax M. Cone distinguished service professor of the history of modern Christianity. He also teaches as part of the history department and the committee on the history of culture.
A holder of 25 honorary doctorates, Marty is a past president of the American Academy of Religion, the American Society of Church History, and the American Catholic Historical Association. He is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the Society of American Historians, and the American Antiquarian Society.
Marty earned his Ph.D. from the University of Chicago in 1956. He served ten years in the pastorate after having been ordained as a Lutheran to the Christian ministry in 1952.
The Marian Miner Cook Athenaeum and the Chaplains of The Claremont Colleges are pleased to sponsor Professor Marty's visit as part of the ongoing series "The Changing Face of Religion in America."

A sand-shifting project will remove sediment from the Santa Ana River Marsh to help restore an area for an endangered bird species and place piles of sand offshore near a popular surf area in Newport Beach.
Workers with heavy equipment have begun excavation work in the marsh, and a large black pipe has been laid out on the sand in West Newport for the $5 million Army Corps of Engineers project, expected to get under way Wednesday and last about a month.
The purpose of the project is to restore a portion of a 7-acre island sanctuary to help attract the federally endangered California least tern, an area meant to be a safe haven for the bird and other wetland species.
Click here to watch a video of the dredging operation.
The area is part of a larger, 92-acre area built to encourage refuge for the birds. Another portion of the area will be dredged to maintain habitat for the light-footed clapper rail, another federally endangered species, as well as the state endangered Belding's Savannah sparrow.
A total of 73,000 cubic yards of sand will be removed from the site, with 50,000 cubic yards slated for an inland dump site because it was too fine and tested too contaminated for other uses.
A second purpose of the project will be to replenish the beaches in West Newport by taking about 23,000 square cubic yards and pumping it about 1,000 feet offshore near 60th Street.
According to the city, sand to be placed offshore has been tested and approved by the Regional Water Quality Control Board and meets acceptable standards. The sand pumping will run through mid-March, at which time the pipe on the beach is expected to be removed.
Newport Beach assistant city engineer Bob Stein said the sand slated for the ocean is being dumped beyond the surf zone, and over time much of this sand will reappear on the beach down the coast and between the rock jetties.
"Having that extra supply of sand is really beneficial," Stein said. "It's really our main line of defense to protect the homes on the peninsula."
The groin jetties in West Newport – eight piles of rocks sticking out like fingers into the ocean – were put in place in the 1960s to keep sand from being chopped away and shifting down coast during big winter storms.
Sometimes, the sand is lost into the Newport Canyon, which sits offshore near Newport Pier. The cyclical event happens each year: Strong storms wipe away sand in the winter, and usually summer swells bring it back – but sometimes in lesser portions, in turn meaning beaches lose their width.
Also, as development occurs inland, less sediment washes down the Santa Ana River, meaning less sand makes it to the beaches in Newport, Stein said.
After it disperses, the sand will span an area the size of two football fields, 6 feet deep, and eventually will flow between the groins, Stein said.
Beachfront resident Barbara De La Pena opposes the project, saying the public did not receive adequate notification about the project.

Three State Capitals to Receive Green Design Assistance from EPA
January 15, 2014
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on January 9 announced urban planning design assistance to help the capital cities of Michigan, Washington, and Wisconsin develop greener designs, including the use of renewable energy technologies. This is the fourth year of the Greening America's Capitals program, an EPA program conducted in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and the U.S. Department of Transportation through the Partnership for Sustainable Communities. The partnership is helping communities across the country create more housing and transportation choices, reinforces existing investments, and support vibrant and healthy neighborhoods that attract businesses.To date, 15 capital cities have received assistance.
EPA will assist Lansing, Michigan, in transforming a 14-acre parking lot in between the state capitol and the Hall of Justice into a public park that showcases green infrastructure and renewable energy technologies. The agency will also assist Madison, Wisconsin, to explore ways to make pedestrian and bicycle improvements and add green infrastructure, such as trees and rain gardens, to streets in the Triangle Neighborhood. Finally, EPA will help Olympia, Washington, to incorporate green infrastructure along Capitol Way to reduce stormwater runoff, improve bicycle access to businesses and the waterfront, and adapt to climate change. See the EPA press release and Partnership for Sustainable Communities website.

Dusty BlakeHead Coach
E-mail: email@example.com
Office Phone: 910-220-2130
Dusty Blake was named the Pfeiffer baseball coach on July 30, 2012, which represented his second stint in the Falcons' dugout. Blake previously served as the team's assistant coach in 2005.
Despite taking over a young team that featured 17 underclassmen and was picked to finish seventh in the Conference Carolinas in 2013, Blake guided Pfeiffer to 18 wins and an 11-11 conference record, earning the Falcons a fourth-place finish. Under Blake's leadership, Jon Gray was named First Team All-Conference after hitting .354 and leading the conference with 12 home runs. The Falcons led the conference in home runs, hitting 46 long balls and the pitching staff was second in fewest walks allowed with 135.
In his second season at the helm, Blake guided the Falcons to its biggest win total since the 2009-10 season. Blake's squad finished the season with a 26-23 overall mark and a 13-7 record in Conference Carolinas. Third basemen Tyler Summers and pitcher Ethan Greene were selected to the First Team All-Conference and Pfeiffer placed seven total players on the First and Second Teams.
Prior to arriving at Pfeiffer, Blake handled all operations for USC Upstate for the 2012 season, including managing the pitching staff, recruiting, practice planning, and strength and conditioning. Under Blake's guidance, the Spartans improved its team ERA, allowed 180 fewer runs, won 33 games on the season, decreased their walk total by 100 and increased their strikeouts by 100. Blake also mentored Scott DeCecco who went on to be a 22nd round draft pick by the Seattle Mariners.
Blake also served as the pitching coach and recruiting coordinator for the Wofford Terriers from 2008-2011. He was responsible for the development of pitcher John Cornely, a 15th round draft pick of the Atlanta Braves. The Terriers pitching staff posted its lowest batting average against since the 2000 campaign and its team ERA was the best mark since 1985 under Blake's direction.
Blake spent two seasons as the pitching coach at Catawba College from 2006-07. During the 2006 season, the Indians led the South Atlantic Conference with 49 wins, a 3.44 earned run average, and 8.8 strikeouts per nine innings.
In the summer of 2007, Blake served as the head coach of the Asheboro Copperheads of the Coastal Plain League.
Blake's coaching career began as the pitching coach and outfield instructor for the Falcons for the 2005 season. He also serves as Pfeiffer's Assistant Athletic Director and was selected as a member of the Baseball for Life advisory board. The group goes into Charlotte and repairs fields, provides equipment and gives free clinics to inner-city kids.
Blake earned his Bachelor's and played baseball at Appalachian State from 1999-2003. He also earned a Master's in Organizational Change and Development from Pfeiffer.
Dusty and his wife, Amy, currently reside at Lake Tillery with their daughter, Mia.

Comments about Panaracer Col De Vie Tire:
Great value tires. My only gripe was that once I got the sidewalls muddy/dirty they never looked clean again. Can't go wrong for that price, though...

Comments about Panaracer Col De Vie Tire:
These tires are great! for the money they can not be beat. Great looking nice allaround tread pattern. The only problem with these tires is that they do not measure out to the stated 38mm width. They run around 34-35 on 22mm rims. It isnt a bad thing per say, and most tires tend to run a bit narrow but just be aware of this fact in case you wanted a bit more of a fire road than on road tire.

The only problem I had with this hardware is that the slot for attaching the hardware to the rack didn't run close long enough. I ended up have to drill some holes in them due to my bike's short chainstay.

The TSP hack attack: Where are we?
Wednesday - 6/13/2012, 2:00am EDT
A favorite game in political (that's "p" as sometimes paranoid) Washington is what did you know and when did you know it? Under the rules of the game, the cover-up is almost always worse than the crime itself. The rule of thumb, from the Watergate era, is follow the money, although people rarely do that. Following the money can be tricky. Also complicated. Especially in the computer age with multinational players.
The topic (plot) du jour for some federal workers and retirees is the hack attack on their Thrift Savings Plan. It apparently happened in July 2011, although we don't know when the FBI found out about it. Or how. The FBI informed the Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board (it runs the TSP) in April. The board set up procedures so that people (approximately 123,000) whose data had been compromised could have their credit monitored for a year.
The TSP is a big deal. It has 4.5 million accounts and is worth about $313 billion.
It has irked some people that the TSP didn't immediately contact certain senators (or, uh, reporters for that matter) to report the breach. It has irked some people that the FBI waited too long after it found out about the hack-in to tell the TSP.
Could it be that they know what they are doing, even though it's not the way Hollywood would handle it?
Last week, the Office of Personnel Management had its regular annual conference, this time in Dallas. Lots of important people from the HR community were there. One of them was Greg Long, the TSP's executive director. He was scheduled as a speaker.
One of the participants said that when Long came on stage, he moved away from the lectern, stood center stage and said the equivalent of "fire away". The questions came, including at least one from someone who was one of the 123,000 who were hacked. So what did Long say? Let's find out.
Today at 10 a.m. on our Your Turn radio show, Long has agreed to run though what happened, who knew what when and, to the extent anybody knows, what's next? Bear in mind this is an active FBI investigation. Some of the data may involve the accounts of FBI agents.
They are playing it close to the vest for what may very well be a very good reason. You don't tell the bad guys when you are closing in. You don't, darn it, (unlike Criminal Minds) hold a press conference to flush out the bad guy or guys.
Listen if you can (1500 AM or online), and if you have questions email them to me at firstname.lastname@example.com or call in during the show at (202) 465-3080. The show will be archived here.

DoD bolsters acquisition
workforce in face of budget pressures
The prospect of tighter budgets has prompted agencies to begin reducing their workforces. But at least in one segment of the workforce, DoD is learning from its past mistakes. The pressure to cut spending has not slowed the Pentagon's efforts to increase the size of its acquisition workforce.
Lieberman, Collins warn
against slashing acquisition workforce
The two influential senators say the mistakes the Defense Department and others made in the 1990s during the last serious budget reductions can't be repeated this time around. Sen. Joseph Lieberman (I-Conn.) said budget cuts shouldn't be balanced on the backs of the acquisition workforce. Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) added reductions in acquisition staff mean the government will pay more for goods and services. The story is part of the week-long special series Inside the World's Biggest Buyer.
