More lots being cleared in Presho
Posted by Lucy
One of Presho's oldest structures was burned down last weekend by the Presho Fire Department as a fire fighting drill and service to the current lot owner, the Eastern Star. Fireman Calvin Hight uses a long pole to push in what remains of the west wall of the building. The building, was most recently the home of the late Donna Jost, but at one time housed businesses including the Presho Post newspaper in the early 1900s. Eastern Star has intentions of clearing the lot and building a new meeting hall at the location. The Star's current hall is pictured on the right.

I rate it at 400 and process it in divided Pyrocat-HD. As others have stated, overexposure or improper development will create a lot of grain. I learned this the hard way by rating it at half the given film speed, a procedure that worked very well for me with Fuji Acros 100 and Ilford Delta 100. The Delta 400, for me, turns out to be a "true" 400-speed film. Color me shocked and amazed but delighted with the extra speed.

CHICAGO and REGENSBURG, Germany, June 2 /PRNewswire/ -- The TGF-beta 2 inhibitor AP 12009, developed by Antisense Pharma, reveals very good safety and tolerability in the systemic treatment of pancreatic carcinoma, malignant melanoma and colorectal carcinoma. AP 12009, administered intravenously, showed a clear proof of concept. Patients with stage IV pancreatic carcinoma, who received AP 12009 for seven days every other week as second or third line therapy, had a median survival time of 29.6 weeks (6.8 months) after start of AP 12009 treatment. One of these patients with several liver metastases even experienced a complete response. Efficacy and safety results of the multicenter Phase I/II study were published today at the Annual Meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) in Chicago, USA (1).
In the open-label, multicenter, dose-escalation Phase I/II study patients with advanced stage pancreatic carcinoma, malignant melanoma or colorectal carcinoma were included. So far 25 patients have been treated in six cohorts. The first four cohorts received AP 12009 as 7-day on, 7-day off cycles. For this schedule, the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) was reached with two grade III thrombocytopenias as dose-limiting toxicities (DLT). These were self-limiting and required no therapeutic intervention. The third DLT was a grade III rash. Thus, the compound AP 12009 revealed excellent safety and tolerability. Very encouraging case reports were observed. One patient, diagnosed with stage IV malignant melanoma, survived more than 60 weeks after the start of AP 12009 treatment. Another patient with stage IV pancreatic carcinoma and several liver metastases had a complete response and is still alive as of March 2008 148 weeks (34 months) after the start of treatment with AP 12009.
After reaching the MTD with the 7-day on, 7-day off schedule, a second
schedule with 4-day on, 10-day off cycles was initiated. Two cohorts with a
total of seven patients h

Focusing on a team of blessedly young-looking police officers who posed as students to bust crimes in high school, college and any other teenage hot spot, the '21 Jump Street' cast became rather popular -- especially one guy named Johnny Depp.

GREENE COUNTY — The polls are open for the Greene County Archives' "I Found It In the Archives!" contest. The contest, which began back in June, called for those who have utilized the county archives to submit their stories of quests in the archives for public consideration.
Voters now have the chance to decide the contest winner by choosing their favorite of the six finalists. The essays are available for viewing on the agency's website and Facebook page. Voters should either "like" their favorite entry on the "Greene County Archives" Facebook page or submit their choice to email@example.com. Voting is open through 5 p.m. July 25.
"We're really happy with [the entries]," said Greene County Archives Public Outreach Coordinator Robin Heise. "It's exactly what we were hoping for is to hear some of the stories and get an idea of what people have found here at the archives."
The first essay came from John Forbes Sweson from Glenview, Illinois. In his essay, Sweson said the Greene County Archives helped him to uncover several family history details relating to a historic Shaker hatbox.
"Our family was never big on family history," he wrote. "The hatbox was the key to an unknown part of our story."
The second essay was written by Mike Denis, who used the archives to extract facts from fiction from a historical novel about a slave named Garret Buster. Denis learned more about Buster's story and family along the way.
"The Greene County Archives have been a tremendous help in piecing together this family," he wrote.
The third essay was written by Deborah Clark Dushane, who researched a family tall tale about an ancestor. When she was in school, her grandfather would give her a dollar for a good grade and say, "It would be more if my Uncle Ike hadn't shot the town sheriff, and we had to sell the farm to keep him out of jail."
Dushane researched the story and found out there was perhaps more than a little truth to the tale.
The fourth essay was written by Mary Stefanik, who worked to link her family heritage back to an individual who was on the Mayflower. She used information found in the Greene County Archives to apply for membership in the General Society of Mayflower Descendants.
"I received a letter last week from the Mayflower Society approving me as having a direct descendent on the Mayflower – Mr. Edward Fuller," she wrote in her essay. "It is a wonderful feeling knowing where you come from and getting an idea of who your family was."
The fifth essay was written by Judith Spencer, who learned more about her family history through the archives.
"I found many relatives, some good, some bad, in the archives," she wrote. "With lots of help of the staff I found ancestors I didn't even know I had."
Through the archives she discovered the truth behind a family secret.
The sixth essay was written by JoAnn Garlough of Iowa, who researched other Garloughs through the archives. In her essay she described receiving information from the agency.
"I ended up with more information than I originally had asked for, so I was even more encouraged that I would be able to piece together this puzzle," she wrote. "My package contained estate records, common plea records, biographical sketches and much more. With this information I was able to fit together some of the missing pieces of the puzzle."
The winner of the competition will receive behind-the-scenes tours of the Greene County Archives and the Greene County Court House, as well as a frameable certificate. The winner will also be entered into the statewide level of the contest.
The winner of the state level of the competition will be hosted at the Ohio Local History Association/Society of Ohio Archivists fall meeting and will be given a tour of the Ohio Statehouse.

Prices are still good bump!
Prices are good still, don't miss out!
for the DYI'ers... does this kit simply "snap on" (or bolt on, or tape on) over existing... or do you have to remove parts to properly install this?
Clearly the spoiler goes right over the existing trunk... but what about the side skirts and the front lip?
Bump this back to the top, prices listed on the first page are still good!
Are the jack point covers available separately? Missing one...
And any word on the R-line front bumper skin? I'm digging the one-piece look.
Stupid question from someone who is about to purchase a CC... Besides the R-Line bumper being one piece, are there any styling differences between the GC kit and the bumper/skirts on the R-Line?
Test driving a CC tomorrow Then need to sell the Corrado
To those lookiing for pics of the lip spoiler..... The one in the GC kit is the same as the optional factory lip spoiler. Here is a pic of mine.
Do you do lay away? This is the only was i could sneek it past the wife JK
Too old to act like a child but young enough to still play like one :p
I have had a few requests for more pictures, so I found a few last night.
Any luck on that jack point cover, Bud?
Three week bump!
do you make custom rear spoilers for the CC? other than the lip spoiler?
I am picking up my 2012 CC tomorrow and am looking for ground effects, spoiler and front piece. Do you have pictures and how are your units installed? do you have a web site?
Price for the front/sides unpainted? Thanks!
Nevermind, got it sorted

Hair Club® Partners with American Chopper's Paul Teutul, Sr. to Celebrate Finale of Nationwide Motorcycle Tour
Hair Club® is partnering with American Chopper's Paul Teutul, Sr. to celebrate the finale of their recent Motorcycle Tour.
Boca Raton, FL (PRWEB) October 05, 2011
Hair Club, the nationâs largest provider of all-proven hair loss solutions for men and women, today announces the finale of their 35th anniversary cross-country motorcycle tour with Paul Teutul Sr., star of Discovery Channelâs reality television program American Chopper.
In celebration of the companyâs 35th anniversary, Hair Club partnered with Orange County Choppers to design a custom-built motorcycle unveiled on-air in a January 2011 episode
of American Chopper. Created by the showâs star and proprietor of Orange County Choppers, Paul Teutul, Sr., the bikeâs design commemorates Hair Clubâs milestone year. The custom
chopper incorporates the 35th anniversary logo and features illustrative design elements such as razor-edged front forks, shear-like custom rims, and a specialty paint job depicting skulls, both bald and with flaming heads of hair.
"I can't think of a better way to celebrate our company's anniversary," expressed Hair Club CEO Darryll Porter. âœWe all have that romantic, iconic image of speeding down an open stretch of highway on a motorcycle, hair whipping behind us, but that vision doesn't have quite the same effect if your hair is thinning or you're suffering from hair loss."
Over the past year, the chopper made appearances at some of the countryâs largest rallies and bike events, now making its final stop at the Orange County Choppers headquarters in Newburgh, New York. Teutul will be broadcasting from New York via satellite to networks and affiliates nationwide on October 6th to discuss the design of the custom Hair Club chopper, the companyâs milestone anniversary, and also his own connections to the brand as a patient.
During the filming of Hair Clubâs two-part American Chopper episode, Teutul visited Hair Club centers in New York and New Jersey. After a hair and scalp analysis by one of Hair Clubâs licensed specialists, he received a transplant procedure to address his own hair loss. In addition, Hair Club provided complimentary services to Orange County Choppers staff member Storm Sasaki, who lost his hair during radiation treatment for cancer.
Founded in 1976 by Sy Sperling, 2011 marks Hair Clubâs 35th year in business. The leader in
Hair restoration and the largest company in the industry offering all proven hair loss solutions,
Hair Club has granted more than 500,000 men, women and children with an experience that has truly changed their lives.

Just in time for the holiday shopping season, state transportation leaders are hoping to soon reopen a new ramps, recently closed because of a cracked support.
The cracked column and cap are hard to miss.
'If you go out and look at it today, it looks like a spider web,' said DOTD New Orleans area administrator Mike Stack.
Inspectors first noticed the cracks six months ago, but in September the department decided to go ahead and open the new flyover ramp.
It connects Causeway Boulevard to the westbound Interstate 10.
The ramp closed less than a month later, much to the dismay of local drivers.
'They opened it, then closed it,' said driver Dennis Lee. 'I said what's going on? Why would would it open and close right back up in a few weeks, you know. It was odd.'
'I had no idea what to do, how to get on the I-10, you know, said driver Robert Howell.
'Do we think that this is an imminent failure on this structure, no, but in the interest of public safety, we don't take any chances,' said Stack.
Stack admits they don't know for sure what caused the concrete to crack.
He thinks there was something wrong with the concrete mixture on this column and another cracked support on a nearby ramp, still under construction.
'Everything tested fine,' said Stack. 'We approved that mix. Now we're experiencing these cracks it could have something to do with mix. It may not even have been a construction thing.'
Boh Brothers is the contractor on the I-10 improvement project.
Stack is confident the company will cover the cost of fixing the damaged supports if it's found to be at fault.
'We will settle our differences, if you will, if there are any after the fact,' said Stack. 'The important thing was to get the one that we have removed already rebuilt and reopened.'
Until then there are two detours, a makeshift ramp to the west bound I-10 at Severn and the interstate...drivers can also drive the service road to Bonnabel and make a u-turn.

Time to Rebuild our Foundations
Sojomail - November 10, 2011
"When extreme weather hits, we hear about the property damage and insurance costs. The healthcare costs never end up on the tab." - Kim Knowlton, a senior scientist at Natural Resources Defense Council, co-author of study estimating that deaths and health problems from floods, drought, and other U.S. disasters related to climate change cost an estimated $14 billion over the last decade. (Source:Reuters)

Time to Rebuild our Foundations
So let's talk about jobs, jobs, jobs.
My fellow Americans,
We are enduring a financial crisis that has created a great economic recession with much suffering for many, and with more to come. And there is an even deeper problem we face: For decades we have neglected the foundational infrastructures of this nation, both physical and moral. Our roads, bridges, schools, transportations systems, energy grids, and even the structures of our families and communities are all in disrepair.
So, let us use the painful reality of this economic crisis as the opportunity to rebuild America, to repair our economic and social life for our children and their children. From the renovation of our educational buildings, classrooms, and systems to the building of a new grid for a future of clean energy, to rebuilding the fundamentally important role of fatherhood in our families, we will strengthen our foundations as a nation. We are going to put America back to work with the good work that that we must now do.
It won't be easy or quick. But, as your president, I will focus my primary energy on putting Americans back to work in constructing America's future. And I will report to you on our progress every month.
After two years in office, President Obama has finally begun to clearly say and do that. His jobs bill, including a national infrastructure bank, is the right course now. And while it should have come much sooner and be much bigger, it is an important step in the right direction.
These laws respected private property, but still required a portion to be set aside in a way that would allow other people to provide for themselves.
I like Obama's American Jobs Act. It is a plan that could prevent up to 280,000 teacher lay-offs and modernize 35,000 schools. It would expand high-speed Internet access to build and broaden our technological infrastructure as well as invest in our current infrastructure that is crumbling. It also would give tax incentives to businesses for hiring veterans and the long-term unemployed, provide job opportunities for low-income youth and adults, and extend unemployment insurance for those who still can't find work. These are all good ideas.
Obama's jobs bill would help those who want to work get to work, and investing in our children's future and basic infrastructure would pay back dividends for years to come.
People are working and yet are still going hungry.
This is why nutrition assistance programs are so important, as are work supplements such as the earned income tax credit.
A survey released this week by the Public Religion Research Institute shows that majorities in every major religious category -- as well as the religiously unaffiliated -- all believe that the country would be better off if the distribution of wealth was more equal.
Putting Americans back to work is essential to reducing poverty and addressing inequality, and it's a top concern among people of faith in our country.
Obstructionism may work politically, but it won't put Americans back to work. Concrete action must be taken, and we need to call for our political leaders to find common-ground solutions to create jobs.
No plan is perfect, but inaction is no longer acceptable. Work and dignity are Christian values for the common good, and it is time for both political parties to support them.

Pagara TKOs Chavez in 2nd round; three other Pinoy boxers win in Pinoy Pride 29 (Sports)
DAVAO CITY, Feb. 8 (PNA) -- World Boxing Organization International junior welterweight champion Jason "El Nino" Pagara retained his title by knocking out Mexican challenger Cesar Chavez in 1:56 of the second round in the Pinoy Pride 29: Fist of Fury Saturday night at the USEP Gym in Davao City. Pagara first knocked down the Mexican twice in the early opening round but was saved by the bell.
In the second round, the native of Cagayan de Oro City immediately went to the body before landing a whooping right hook to the head that sent down Chavez grimacing in pain. Chavez tried to stand up but only to fell down again on the canvas with his forehead hitting first forcing referee Bruce McTavish to stop the scheduled 12-round title-fight. "Malakas talaga si Pagara (Pagara is really strong)," said ALA chief trainer Edito Villamor. Meanwhile, WBO Intercontinental junior featherweight champion Genesis "Azukal" Servania also retained his title by a convincing unanimous decision over Mexican challenger Juan Luis "Perla Negra" Hernandez.
Servania tried to mix it up with Hernandez, who opted to keep on avoiding the undefeated Filipino fighter from Bago City after the second round. According to his female trainer Monica Abedith Rico, Hernadez injured his right wrist during the second round. Servania, however, kept on chasing Hernandez but failed to land the knockout punch. Both fighters earlier predicted to win by a knockout.
"King" Arthur Villanueva also remained undefeated by scoring a similar unanimous decision against former world champion Juan Cesar "Pingo" Miranda. The fight, however, turned out to be more exciting compared to the Servania-Hernandez championship bout. Miranda showed his old form in the first five rounds but slowed down in the remaining rounds as Villanueva completely dominated the fight with his stinging left-right combinations.
Villanueva said that he had learned so much from his fight with Miranda. "Kailangan ko pa ma-improve ang aking stamina at diskarte (I still need to improve on my stamina and skills)," said Villanueva. Promising Mark "Magnifico" Magsayo and Arjan "Spartan" Canillas also both remained undefeated after stopping their foreign rivals in the undercard. Magsayo stopped former PABA super bantamweight champion Sukkasem Keityongyuth of Thailand in 2:10 of the fifth round by landing a whooping right cross to the head.
The smashing blow almost sent down the Thai out of the ring. Referee Elizardo Resma was able to hold on to the leg and immediately stopped the fight. It was Magsayo's 10th win and 8th KO while Keithyongyuth only suffered his third loss against 13 wins. Canillas, on the other hand, knocked out Stevi Ongen Ferdinandus of Indonesia in 2:48 of the 4th round. Canillas landed left-right body shots to send the Indonesian kneeling down at the corner and was counted out. Canillas now has 10 straight wins with no loss or draw.
The other results: Vic "Vicous" Saludar of South Cotabato won over Bukidnon's Lester John Pronco by unanimous decision, Arnold Garde of Empire Boxing Gym Davao beat Bacolod's Rafael Sueno by unanimous decision and Bukidnon's Brian "Buhawi" Lobitania knocked out General Santos City's in 50 seconds of the 2nd round. The Pinoy Pride 29, a co-presentation of ABS-CBN was backed by Rajah Park Hotel, Fungisol, Infinity Suites, The Royal Mandaya Hotel, SM City Davao, Holiday Taxi and MMJJ Ads. (PNA)CTB/LCM/LTDR/LDP
GenSan dad seeks lifting of LRA suspension order for titling of public lands
GENERAL SANTOS CITY, Feb. 3 (PNA) -- City officials are pushing for the immediate lifting of a suspension order issued by the Land Registration Authority (LRA) over the titling of pubic lands within the city. City Councilor Rosalita Nunez filed a resolution urging the LRA to recall the "total suspension" order on land titling that it issued in July 2013 in the wake of an investigation over alleged irregularities in the processing of land titles involving declared public lands in the area.
She said the move is mainly aimed to facilitate the processing of titles for various alienable and disposable lands in the city that are already considered as residential areas. The official specifically cited areas that were not covered by the investigation and subject to claims by local residents. Nunez said some of these areas are already eligible for titling as provided for in Republic Act 10023 or the "Act Authorizing the Issuance of Free Patents to Residential Lands."
BFAR allots P55-M for implementation of TARGET program in Region 12
GENERAL SANTOS CITY, Jan. 26 (PNA) -- The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) has allocated around P55 million for the implementation this year of a new socio-economic initiative for poor fisherfolk in parts of the region. Sammy Malvas, BFAR Region 12 director, said Monday they have identified a total of 3,723 inland and coastal fishermen as beneficiaries of the newly-launched Targeted Actions to Reduce Poverty and Generate Economic Transformation in the Fishery Sector or TARGET program in the region.
He said the recipients were chosen from among the registrants of the agency's National Program for Municipal Fisherfolk Registration (FishR) and the database of the National Household Targeting System for Poverty Reduction (NHTS-PR) of the Department of Social Welfare and Development in Region 12. "We will be providing livelihood assistance to these beneficiaries, who are considered as among the poorest of the poor fisherfolk in the region," he said during the program's regional launching here.
ARMM gov calls on stakeholders to guard gains of Mindanao peace process
COTABATO CITY, Jan. 27 (PNA) -- Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) Governor Mujiv Hataman has urged all peace stakeholders not to let Sunday's violent incident in Mamasapano, Maguindanao involving elements of the Philippine National Police–Special Action Force (PNP-SAF) and Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) derail the ongoing Mindanao peace process. As of the latest count, the incident claimed the lives of 49 police officers and 5 MILF fighters.
Hataman said even the MILF concurs that the operation launched by the SAF team was legitimate. He said even Department of Interior and Local Government Secretary Manuel Roxas called the incident a "misencounter" leading to the "single largest loss of life in the security sector." Hataman also called on both government and MILF not to let the case affect the ongoing peace process, cautioning that detractors might use the incident for their own agenda and try to sow discord and derail the peace process.
ARMM pursues 2015 P120-M BRIDGE program
COTABATO CITY, Jan. 20 (PIA) – As the transition to Bangsamoro Government is expected in the 2nd quarter of 2015, the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) launched another development program - the Bangsamoro Regional Inclusive Development for Growth and Empowerment (BRIDGE) at the Office of the Bangsamoro People, here recently. The ARMM-BRIDGE concept is patterned after the government's National Community Driven Development Program (NCDDP) under the KALAHI-CIDSS convergence program of the DSWD, according to ARMM Executive Secretary Laisa Alamia..
"The ARMM-BRIDGE adopts the same mechanism of Community Driven Development (CDD), meaning, the developments that we're going to undertake is based on the request/needs of the community. "This BRIDGE is an upscaling of ARMM-HELPS program at the municipal level – although, the individual budget can be implemented through municipal wide, community or barangay level," Alamia said. During the launching of the program, Alamia identifiedl 15 target pilot municipalities in the five provinces of ARMM in which each pilot town submitted at least three barangay beneficiaries.

A two-way street on gunrunning
So now laudable efforts by U.S. law enforcement agencies to crack down not on gun ownership but on gun smuggling – through initiatives such as "Operation Gunrunner," which the ATF launched a little more than a year ago – are an infringement on Americans' right to bear arms under the Second Amendment?
Somehow, I doubt that James Madison, the father of the Constitution, would co-sign that assertion.
This is a serious issue worthy of serious discussion, without hyperbole or distortions. Congress certainly thinks so, which is why it approved $10 million for Operation Gunrunner in the economic stimulus bill.
Sarukhan, in a recent interview with the Union-Tribune, cited one bust last year in the city of Reynosa, across the border from Texas' Rio Grande Valley.
"In a single seizure," the ambassador said, "we detained half a million rounds of ammo, 270 semiautomatic assault weapons, fragmentation grenades and . . . sniper rifles. And they were all coming from the U.S. side of the border."
No point in denying it. Much of the death and destruction south of the border is stamped: "Made in the U.S.A." Americans helped make this mess. It's only right that we do whatever we can to help clean it up – not just for Mexico's own good, but for ours.

So placid, its harmonious fluidity;
it seems almost still in the morning haze,
but an eddy near the shoreline
betrays its movement.
Leaves glance and lazily spin
until their pace quickens
as the stream rolls like a silk blouse
over smooth stones.
Around the bend
a more busy visage marks its pace
as it washes a branch from the shore
and tosses it in a cascade of white
where the mist is caught in spectrums of light.
Away from the falls the same fickle flow
once again lazily slips into a sleepy pond
where the haze from a distant campfire
drifts low.

text: PARIS â?? The French foreign minister says France plans to vote in favor of recognition of a Palestinian state at the U.N. General Assembly this week. Laurent Fabius has told parliament that France has long supported Palestinian ambitions for statehood and â??will respond â??yesâ?ťâ?? when the issue comes up for a vote â??out of a concern for coherency.â?ť With the announcement Tuesday, France â?? a permanent member of the Security Council â?? becomes the first major European country to come out in favor. It amounts to a setback for Israel. The Palestinians say the assembly is likely to vote Thursday on a resolution raising their status at the United Nations from an observer to a nonmember observer state, a move they believe is an important step toward a two-state solution with Israel.

1991 BMW 325i Q&A
1991 BMW 325i Question: weird sound through speakers when radio is turned on.
Hi, this only happens when the radio is on (ofcourse). Any action which utilizes current, such as stepping on the break which means the break light turns on, using a turn signal,turning on wipers gives me an audible "poof" like sound to eminate from the rear speakers. Clearly it must be the sound system (it is the original one) but I don't know where to start. Has anyone experienced this before and do you have any suggestions on where to start. I don't want to install a new radio since, once it's on, there is no problem with the sound... Thanks in advance! - girlgeek2

What concerns Bailey is that community colleges may increasingly try to overcome their budgetary challenges by becoming more selective in their admissions policies. "That goes against their mission in the first place," he says.
The value of that mission can be seen in terms of dollars and cents. Those who attend community colleges generally have 15 to 30 percent higher earnings than those who don't.
So the book's authors offer a number of broad recommendations for community colleges, including improving data management technology to monitor student progress, focusing on closing the racial and income achievement gaps, providing more direct counseling and advising, and reaching out to high schools in their communities to help teenagers prepare academically and socially for higher education.
CUNY's community colleges do have some innovative programs that address the challenges set forth in Defending the Community College Equity Agenda. Borough of Manhattan Community College has an "Out in Two" scholarship program that pays half of a student's tuition as long as he or she takes enough credits to earn an associate's degree in two years. The school's Academic Advisement and Transfer Center office blocks registration for any students who don't come in for a mandatory counseling session each semester.
Kingsborough Community College has a Diploma Now program that offers GED preparation for potential high school dropouts and a New Start program for students who have been expelled from college for academic reasons.
And at LaGuardia, Ivana Estrada was given the chance to take computer science courses at Barnard, which led to her earning a bachelor's degree. But even with these opportunities, Bailey and his co-authors point to significant barrierssocial, economic, and academicthat will continue to hinder community college student success. Estrada admits she was lucky. "I know I had an advantage," she says. "I was younger than most of the other LaGuardia students, and I didn't have any children."

Property owners have a responsibility to provide a safe environment free from dangerous conditions. While a slip and fall accident may seem like a minor event, it can cause extremely serious injuries, including broken bones, head trauma, fractured hips, and neck and back problems. Falls are consistently the number one leading cause of injuries in the United States.
Here are just a few examples of the excellent outcomes that we get for our clients:
Client slipped on water caused by a plumbing failure. Sustained back injuries. Awarded: $500,000

Slip and fall and trip and fall accidents can happen just about anywhere. These types of accidents are often the result of:
- Negligently maintained floors
- Damaged or cracked walkways
- Leaks/wet floors
- Dangerous construction sites
- Negligently maintained or guarded pools
- Unsafe conditions at markets, office buildings, and retail stores
The key to California slip and fall accidents is proving negligence (carelessness) on the part of the property owner or the management in charge of the premises. Owners are responsible in California if the condition of the property was dangerous, the owner knew or should have known about the dangerous condition, and the owner had a reasonable opportunity to correct or warn of the condition before an injury occurred. If this is the case in your California slip and fall accident, contact Steinberg for a FREE consultation.

Everett Parks guide shares passion for outdoors
Michael O'Leary / The Herald
Andy Boos leads a group on a 4-mile walk through the city of Redmond Watershed Preserve in early April. Boos leads a variety of popular group outings for the Everett Parks and Recreation Department, and spots in the outings fill up fast.

Michael O'Leary / The Herald
Andy Boos leads hikers on an outing in Redmond.
"Andy is the best find I've ever had," said Jane Lewis, Everett Parks and Recreation supervisor.
Boos is an independent contractor for the Outdoor Program, now in its 36th year. He specializes in walking and hiking trips, and leads snowshoe and cross-country ski outings.
"Being in nature and enjoying its rewards creates a special bond between people," Boos said.
Originally from Wisconsin, Boos came to the Northwest in 1986, partially because of the outdoor opportunities. One of Boos' first truly challenging hikes was scaling the Cascades' Three Fingers mountain.
"It's a difficult trip that takes all day," he said. "When I got there, I was blown away by the spectacularness of the place and made a vow to try to return every year. It's become an annual tradition that I've done 26 years since."
It is also where he earned the nickname Alpine Andy.
"There is a cabin you can stay in with a list of housekeeping suggestions. One thing is to leave some snacks for Alpine Andy, who is the resident pack rat. So I stole it from him!" Boos said with a laugh.
Boos continued to develop his skills after joining the Mountaineers and eventually began sharing his passion as a guide. "Nature can be a humbling place, but is also so enriching," he said.
Through the Outdoor Program, Boos leads about 140 trips annually. He always includes tried-and-true destinations, and embraces the challenge of exploring new locations.
Most are day trips ranging from the Canadian border to Mount Rainier and the slopes of the Cascades to Wenatchee.
"The hiking program is a great introduction to the area if you've just moved to Washington or Everett where most of the walking tours happen," Lewis said. "We take you to all the best places."
What makes Boos exceptional is his ability to create a sense of community. In 2011, more than 1,120 people, from kids to seniors, participated in the walking and hiking programs.
"We actually have a lot of people who are active in the program who are in their 70s and 80s," Boos said. "A few participants have even been in their 90s. That's really inspiring to me. It's important to be active as we get older and hiking and walking are great opportunities."
Giles Shepherd's introduction to hiking was courtesy of Boos and Everett Parks and Recreation. Shepherd began hiking in his 50s after retiring from teaching at Everett Community College.
"Thanks to hiking, I put on about 15 pounds of leg and shoulder muscle since I retired," Shepherd, 70, said. "Regardless of what ails you, having this kind of experience is good when it comes to fending off some of the things that can afflict us in our older years. I'm certainly appreciative of the positive effects."
The sense of camaraderie and accomplishment are equally important. Every year, Boos creates certificates congratulating hikers on how many miles they have covered. The award's background is filled with photos commemorating the trails and scenery along with the smiling, proud faces of participants. Shepherd's most recent certificate celebrates 1,300 total miles hiked.
It is almost impossible to estimate how many miles Boos has logged. This year he will make his annual trek to Three Fingers and visit the "other" Alpine Andy. Another goal is to finish climbing the 100 tallest peaks in Washington. He has conquered 92.
Boos turned 50 years old in January and celebrated with a hiking trip to New Zealand, where he scaled the 10,000-foot-peak Mount Aspiring.
"It's really a great name (Mount Aspiring) for the idea of forging ahead with the rest of your life," he said.
Andy Boos' hikes
Everett Parks and Recreation offers a wide variety of events including walking, hiking, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, kayaking, cultural activities and more. Prices and times vary.
If you have limited or no hiking experience, the walking program is an appropriate introduction. Excursions are generally four hours, leave from local parks and use easily accessible trails. Costs average $25. All ages welcome.

In a small sauce pan, whisk together maple syrup, brown sugar, whiskey, mustard, orange juice, orange zest, ground cloves, and allspice. Heat over medium heat for 15 to 20 minutes until slightly thickened. About 30 minutes before the end of the cooking time, brush the ham with the glaze. Once meat reaches 140 F internal temperature, remove from oven. Lightly tent with foil and allow to stand for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing. Serve hot.

Providing online services like BPOS (http://mocp.microsoftonline.com) are
not like shipping server or client software. Once you cut the bits for
on-premise software, they pretty much stay the same for a while. Not so with
online services. Microsoft is continually updating them to provide more
services, protocols, and features. This makes it a bit of challenge
to keep current. Since we shipped the services a couple years ago, we've added
a bunch of capability including POP3, SMTP relay, migration from Hosted
Exchange, Powershell commandlets for migration and administration, and a bunch
more. AND the price went down to only $10 a month!
In that spirit, I'm happy to announce
that the default mailbox size for Exchange Online is now 25GB!
That's up from 5GB. This 5x increase is
free of charge and automatically implemented on new users. You can increase
existing users to 25GB if you need as your overall allocation for mailboxes has
been increased to (25GB x number of users) instead of (5GB x number of users). The

Officers found filth, bugs, feces and a white powder inside
Police took two children from a Middletown home covered in filth, bugs and feces, and arrested their mother Tuesday.

MIDDLETOWN, Ohio -- Police took two children from a Middletown home covered in filth, bugs and feces, and arrested their mother Tuesday.
Middletown police said neighbors of Victoria Colwell contacted them with the concern that her children, an 8-month-old boy and a 2-year-old girl, were in unhealthy living conditions and that Colwell was intoxicated.
When police arrived, they said Colwell spoke with slurred speech and seemed unsteady on her feet. She was taken into custody on two counts of child endangering.
Police surveyed the townhome and found a scarce amount of food, along with piles of soiled laundry, feces, roaches and a white powder substance accessible to Colwell's children.
"Totally deplorable," Officer Andy Warwick said. "The diaper was totally saturated to where when the 8-month-old was picked up, urine and feces came out the sides of the diaper."
He said the children, who are safe with their grandparents, could have "easily been poisoned" by the white powder.
"Children are a great blessing and we need to take care of them, they're our future," Warwick said.
Butler County investigators will continue to explore the case but were not immediately sure if Colwell would get her kids back.
