Questions regarding ADA seating at M&T Bank Stadium can be directed to the ADA Seating Coordinator by calling 410-261-RAVE (7283).
In order to provide accessible seats to as many individuals who need them as possible, the Ravens request that accessible seats not be resold without adhering to Ravens' policies.
The Ravens request that all owners and purchasers of accessible seats complete a Disability Needs Form on an annual basis.
Download the PSL Owner Disability Needs Form here »
Download the Non-PSL Owner Single Game Disability Needs Form here »
As a standard operating procedure, the Ravens make visual inspections of all accessible seating areas during every home game.
A single individual or entity may purchase no more than four (4) total PSL's in the accessible seating area: one (1) disabled guest and up to three (3) companions.
Single game ticket limit per household: 2 tickets per game; total of 2 games
If availability exists, PSL Owners may exchange non-ADA seating for ADA seating. All ADA ticket exchanges and seating accommodation requests must be completed by the Friday before a home game at 5:00 p.m.
In accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Ravens are not required to provide accessible seats in the event of a sellout.
PSL Owners may be entitled to exchange out an entire season of tickets, based on circumstance, need and available accommodations.
If disabled seating is available the week of a game, tickets may be purchased by phone, but must be picked up by the purchaser at the lobby of the Ravens Ticket Office on or before game day.
Individuals who are interested in purchasing accessible single game tickets, but are not PSL Owners, can contact the Ravens Ticket Office at (410) 261-RAVE (7283) on the same date and time that all other single game Ravens tickets go on sale to the general public (typically late July.)
Closed Captioning
The Ravens have teamed up with Caption Colorado to provide closed captioning for the hearing impaired at Ravens' home games via personal text-enabled cell phones and smart phones, or a courtesy handset acquired on game day. Hearing impaired guests can enable their personal device; however it must be done prior to the game. Please follow these easy steps…
• Go to www.mobilecap.net.
• When prompted, enter your name and event id 1016.
• The program will start running automatically.
• Remember to log out after the event!
The courtesy handsets can be acquired on game day at any Guest Services Location (Section 100,127, 500 or 527), or at the Club Level Concierge Desks (Sections 202, 223, 229, or 250) inside M&T Bank Stadium.
A drop-off area for disabled guests is located along the Northbound Russell Street Service Drive on the West side of M&T Bank Stadium between Gates A & D. Disabled guests can be dropped off at this location, prior to parking the vehicle, and picked up after the game. Upon entering the Service Drive, inform the Central Parking attendant that you would like to utilize the disabled drop-off area.

Taking The Drop
Additional Info
Taking the Drop by Danielle Dubois, Jillian Flitton, Debbie James, and Sheree da Costa is an inspirational journey of four everyday women who wanted to share another kind of surfers' world. From varying backgrounds, they met in the ocean and have developed close and affirming friendships since sharing their first wave together. They wrote this book not only to provide an entertaining and inspiring insight into surfing, but also to share their very different stories of how a group of Australian working mums came together to forge stronger identities, increase self-esteem and find happiness and solace within the ocean – mother nature's realm.
It's obvious that this story is not just about surfing. It's also about friendship, trying to keep balance in and out of the water, and having a good laugh (and sometimes a good cry) along the way. Over the next few weeks SurfSister is going to be sharing sections of the book written by Sheree, Danielle, Deb and Jill.
INTRODUCTION from 'TAKING THE DROP'
As the first sun greets another unspoiled day on the horizon an ex-ballerina, a marriage celebrant, a business developer and a Jill of all trades are already up and busy, attending to the things that must be done – wash face and brush teeth, feed dog, make bed, a bite to eat – then out to the car, no time to waste – life, buddies and waves are waiting. We drive the windy road to Palm Beach with familiarity - music plays on the radio - we are in a good mood. Within minutes we arrive in succession at the beach seeking familiar smiling faces as we park our cars, check the tide, waves, and wind. Awesome, the ocean is a mirror!
Urgently surfboards are pulled off cars, out of their covers and waxed. Wetsuits are donned. We are four strong as we make our way to the waters' edge where without hesitation we throw our boards and bodies into the water - paddling out to the beckoning break we are overwhelmed by a tidal wave of emotion flooding over us at the knowledge of how lucky we are to be friends. There is no pretence or falseness, just a bunch of girls being themselves – their true essence emerging. Four middle-aged females who dare to take a little time for themselves. No need to glam up - makeup, blow dried hair and fancy clothes are not a prerequisite. Just surfboards and wetsuits and pure ones' self. Merely one out of twenty-four hours to shed our multi-tasking skin of wife, mother, career woman that life commands us to wear. Just sixty minutes to shine, to experience spirited, fun-filled, daring and innocent freedom of life on the ocean wave. Patiently we wait for our share of the waves, taking turns, enjoying the ride – our minds are clear, released of all thoughts as the ocean grants us what we came for - liberation. Enthusiastic junkies we seek the natural high Mother Nature indulgingly provides. Mobile phones and laptops don't live here.
After a surfing session we are euphoric, cleansed, solid and ready to take on the world and time allowing, conversation over coffee leads to an all-girl alliance where the Chicks On Sticks (COS) philosophy of - 'life is for living, whatever your age' is applied. A place to take a chance, push the boundaries, follow your dreams. Never take NO for an answer – believe in yourself. Where it's all about attitude – and we have plenty of that.
Through the gift of friendship we have grown strong, become support crew and confidantes, and tasted the poignant flavour of life, learning the true value of self-worth. We are a foursome who share a life bursting at the seams with fun and laughter, tears and sadness, adventure and excitement, and especially honesty and trust.
Whatever life throws our way we are prepared to 'take the drop'...

iTunes Radio already third most popular U.S. music streaming service
iTunes Radio may be the new kid on the block, but it has already ranked as the third most popular streaming service in the U.S. The runaway leader is still Pandora but behind that Apple's offering is only just behind iHeartRadio, while placing higher than the likes of Spotify, Google Play All Access and Rhapsody.
Aside from the U.S. Apple has only officially released iTunes Radio in Australia, so most of us are still waiting to give it a proper try. But there's no doubts that it has begun to capture imaginations, potentially even opening up music streaming to a market that may not have tried it before.
Did you find yourself moving primarily to iTunes Radio from another service? What made you try it, and ultimately decide to stick with it? Sound off in the comments below!

iTunes Radio already third most popular U.S. music streaming service
Pandora is still my mainstay, but I have recreated most of my stations in iTunes Radio too. I like Pandora's recommendations better, but iTunes Radio has less dupes, so I fire up whichever one suits my mood better.

Been using Spotify for a while, which I like. But as a committed Apple user would love to have their service in the UK. Whenever that may happen....

I know exactly how you feel. It's great that it's built right into my phone, and I don't have to download another app or sign up for something it just all works. And if you take a look at how much data it uses it's great because it uses less data than the other apps.

The real big takeaway for me is that Google Music actually has 3%. Honestly, as a Google Music user I wasn't expecting it to even have that much. That is amazing.
But back on topic, I did try iTunes Radio. It's not a bad service. I did like it. Only thing is I'm more into the All Access/Spotify type streaming. Not the radio. I do like the more specific control of the radio on iTunes Radio however. If I used iOS as my main phone (I have an iPad and a Nexus 5) I would definitely use it on the daily when I just want to listen to some random music.
I've gone completely iTunes Radio (even deleted Pandora and Slacker). First, I use iTunes Match, so no commercials. Second, I like the integrated app. No separate iTunes Radio App, just right there with the rest of my music. Third, they play the best selection. Not only do I get better songs (for what I want) but I don't get spammed by lousy music in-between. My MyChemical Romance station at Pandora kept shoving Panic at the Disco at me, no matter how many times I told it I hated that artist. iTunes Radio only ever played Panic at the Disco to me once, then it got the hint! Finally, it rarely has buffering delays like Pandora and Slacker were often plagued with.
Oh, and no 40 hour per month limit like Pandora has on mobile apps.
Oh, and I can buy a great new song right there, no searching elsewhere. I can even add it to my wishlist.
I didn't find myself moving to iTunes radio from another service, however once I did understand what it was and read a few articles on it, it began to be my main source of streaming music for free. Before that I didn't actually have anything. Now though I use iTunes radio and I can actually say that I've been exposed to new types of music because it. Or news songs rather..

Also what I think would be great is if they allowed us to make our own stations and pick the specific songs that we want to hear for free and just have them in the loop. And they could run the occasional 15 second ad in order to generate revenue but we get to hear all of the songs that we want to for say specific things like road trips.

Google Play All Access is my #1. I even use it on my iPad Air. Streaming it to my Chromecast is icing on the cake.
Posted via the Android iMore App on my Nexus 5!
Considering it comes built into iOS devices I would expect it to be popular. I still prefer Google Play All Access though since it works almost everywhere
Sent from the iMore App
I use iTunes Radio every now and then but Slacker is still my go to. I have the $3.99/mo subscription so I can cache stations and save data. I was a SiriusXM user and Slacker is simply the closed thing I have found to it.

Intermountain Healthcare hospitals and doctors contract with many insurance plans. To be sure that your services will be covered, we ask that you contact your insurance plan.
Here are some answers to the most frequently asked insurance billing questions for patients treated at Intermountain facilities:
Will Intermountain contact my insurance for precertification or authorization?
It is recommended that you contact your insurance plan or provider directly if you have any questions or concerns about precertification or preauthorization.
I have multiple health insurance companies. How do I know who to bill?
Coordination of benefit rules apply. Contact your provider for help in determining the proper order for billing.
If my insurance doesn't consider Intermountain as a preferred provider, will you bill my insurance?
Intermountain bills all insurance carriers. If your insurer does not include Intermountain as a preferred provider, you may be billed for non-covered charges or be responsible for reduced benefits.
Please contact your carrier to verify your coverage and/or benefits.
What if my insurance company does not authorize or cover services?
You will be responsible for charges your insurance company does not authorize or cover. It is recommended that you contact the ordering provider to discuss whether to receive the service and for other possible funding sources.
Why aren't all services covered by my insurance company?
Under any plan, there may be services that are not covered because the insurance company may consider them routine or unnecessary. If you disagree with the decision, you should contact your insurance company for more information.
What if my claim is denied?
Contact the facility listed on your statement for additional assistance.
What if my insurance coverage changes?
You should bring your current insurance card to your next visit. You should also contact our billing offices to provide updated information.
What should I do if my insurance sends its payment directly to me?
Insurance payments for claims that are sent directly to you, whether from primary or secondary insurance companies, should be used to pay outstanding charges to Intermountain Healthcare. Patients are financially responsible for all outstanding charges. Either deposit the insurance check and send us a personal check, or forward the insurance check as soon as possible.
Why do I still owe a balance if my insurance company has paid?
Based on your insurance plan, you may be responsible for deductibles, copays and co-insurance for fees not covered by your insurance company.
What does usual and customary mean? How does this work?
The usual and customary fee schedule is set up so that non contracted providers are reimbursed at a rate comparable to other HMO reimbursements in the same geographical area. The patient is responsible for charges that exceed the usual and customary amount.
If I receive services because of an accident at work, will you send the claim to my employer?
Due to confidentiality, we are unable to send bills directly to your employer. However, we will send claims directly to your employer's Workers Comp carrier. We will need their name, address and claim number. You may take your bill to your employer and work directly with them.
If you still need to provide your health insurance information to be submitted for your patient bill, you can use this secure online form:
If you need to contact your insurance company directly, please refer your insurance card for the customer service phone number or consult your insurance handbook.
Intermountain provides medically necessary and generally available healthcare to patients in our service area, regardless of ability to pay.

It's amazing what loneliness will do to a person. Right now, Russians are doing these insane tests on people to gauge a person's reaction to extensive periods of isolation. They're doing this because everyone is on the long road to see who gets to land a manned spacecraft on Mars but getting there will take months with current propulsion technology. So basically three or four astronauts will be packed into a tiny craft and flown out further than any person has ever gone, totally cut off from help. Fucks with your mind, doesn't it? Beyond help, stuck way the hell out in space and your only companions are a couple of people who are as terrified and isolated as you. Anything can happen out there. Tonight's story is about what happens when a woman is left alone after the death of her husband and the crazy shit she did to honor his memory.
Winchester rifles are frequently known to enthusiasts as "the gun that won the west". The 1873 model of the rifle was a pretty important gun in that they were extremely dependable and fired straight as an arrow. The introduction of the Winchester Repeating Rifle to the market in 1866 introduced an entirely new concept in firearms. Winchesters are famous for introducing the idea of a lever-action repeating rifle. No more cap and ball shenanigans. This was the real deal. A series of bullets could be loaded into the magazine and fired off rapidly meaning you could kill a whole hell of a lot more injuns out on the plains when you waged a campaign of aggressive insistence that you take their land. When the company treasurer, William Winchester died in 1881, it's said that his grieving wife took advantage of the burgeoning industry of hucksterism that deceived a million people under the guise of spiritual mediumship. During one session with a medium, the medium reported back to Sarah Winchester, wife of the late William Winchester, that the spirits of victims that had fallen from bullets projected from his families' guns, were pretty pissed off about the whole concept of Winchester Repeating Rifles and that her family had a curse on it. The only way to satisfy the spirits and the curse was if she was to leave her home in Newhaven, Connecticut, and move west. There was another caveat, though. She couldn't just buy a house, she had to build one and build one and build one. She was told to build a home for herself and the spirits and if she stopped construction, the spirits would get her. If she did not stop, then she would live forever. Naturally, Sarah got to work.
Beginning in 1884, the Winchester Mystery House construction began and didn't stop until Sarah's death in 1922 when the workers finally called it quits. Are you counting? That's 38 years of continuous construction. This house still exists in San Jose, California to this day where it's reported to be haunted but the paltry ghost stories of the house are nothing in comparison to the tremendously spooky qualities of the house, itself.
The Winchester house contains 160 rooms. Stairs ascend into the ceiling. Doors open to reveal a wall behind them. Hallways zig-zag wildly. Connecting some of the rooms are secret passage ways. A set of stairs descends seven steps before ascending eleven. There was no plan. Ever. Sarah never had a chance to explain herself, either. After her death and the interior of the house became a matter of public record, theories abound about what she was actually doing in there. Coupled to the story about angry ghosts chasing her, many believe that the house was deliberately built to confuse anyone who entered, including the ghosts, so that they could never keep up with her. To know what to build, Mrs. Winchester held nightly seances wherein spirits guided her hand in drawing new sketches for building ideas and the next day, her foreman would carry out the task. Because of the Winchester fortune, the money never ran out and in the end, adjusted for inflation, the total cost of the home was somewhere in the neighborhood of $70m. Mad loot spent on crazy-ass ideas. Sarah was said to have been guided by good spirits whose ideas were to deliberately design the house to be nuts so that evil spirits would become confused and wind up lost in the halls forever.
It looks like it worked, too. Sarah Winchester died in 1922 at the age of 83. The ghosts never managed to catch up with her and according to the staff of the house/museum today, they're all still hanging out, trying to find their way out of the maze she set up for them.

Exclusive! Celebrity Stylist Lindsay Albanese Rates the Glee Gals' 2011 Emmys Fashion
Of course the Glee girls looked gorgeous on the 2011 Emmy red carpet, but were they everything they could have been? Celebrity stylist Lindsay Albanese has worked with several of the ladies on Fox's hit show — and has previously dressed on-air Emmy talent from Entertainment Tonight, Access Hollywood, and E! — so we thought we'd get her take on the lovely Gleeks' looks in this exclusive Wetpaint Entertainment interview!
"Jenna Ushkowitz (Tina) was my favorite. She usually looks really girly and she usually has soft hair — and she tends to pick more romantic-type girly things. I think she went kind of sexy and edgy and she had the severe hair. I thought it really suited her. She looked very fashion-forward. And I loved the pop of color, the red clutch that she carried. She really played with her style. It was very youthful but still sexy."
Naya Rivera
"Naya Rivera (Santana) looked very statuesque and beautiful. But I just think she's so young and her character is so fun and — just because I've worked with her in the past — she has such a fun personality. I just thought that the dress, although gorgeous, was a little too… it wasn't as playful and fun as I would like to see her in. It was gorgeous and she looked flawless but I would have liked to see her in a color or something unique."
Jayma Mays
"It's a gorgeous gown, it's beautiful, but I kind of feel with her skin tone another color would have suited her."
Lea Michele
"Lea Michele (Rachel) was one of my Best Dressed. I think that that gown fit her perfectly and I think that it was definitely unique in the detail of the shoulders and the drama in the back. I really love it because if you're going to do a slip gown, I think this is the way you've gotta do it. This was definitely something a little bit more fashion forward. It was really sophisticated and elegant, but still very funky and glamorous."
Dianna Agron
"I felt that Dianna Agron (Quinn), although beautiful, I felt that was a strange gown choice for her. It was slightly grown up and a little bit too conservative of a look for her. Especially with her new hair change, how she chopped her hair, I think everybody was expecting something maybe a little bit more exciting from her. Although the gown was a vibrant, gorgeous, royal blue color, I think that viewers probably would have loved to see her in something a little more interesting."

The 2008 GBACG Workshop Series Presents:
18th Century Bergère Hat Workshop
Saturday, October 24th, 2009 -- 11pm to 4pm
Bay Area Christian Connection, Oakland, CA
Join GBACG as we get ready for our 18th Century Tea. Come and learn to make a mainstay of 18th Century headwear, the Bergère Hat (French for shepherdess). Up until the latter part of the 18th Century it was a most popular hat perched upon ladies heads. This most versatile and flattering style consists of a shallow crown and a wide, flat brim. Wear the brim folded back, turned up or down, ribbons under chin or behind the head. No matter how you wear it, this hat looks terrific on everyone.
Surviving hats from this period include both straw and fabric covered examples. In this millinery workshop you will learn to construct a fabric covered, French fleece mulled hat. (mulling is an interlining) The brim is constructed of wired buckram, the crown (provided) is hand blocked buckram. Students will be able to choose the width of their hat and two crown choices will be available. Instruction will include a demo on blocking the buckram crown. We will also cover a technique that allows the maker to finish the edge of the hat without the use of a binded edge. After the hat is constructed, well go on to how to trim this type of hat with the ribbon or fabric trims seen widely in the 18th Century. The objective of this class is for the attendees to learn correct buckram millinery techniques so they may continue to make hats on their own.
Instructor Bio: The instructor for our class is Lynne Taylor, an accomplished milliner with a love of teaching others this challenging art. Lynne served as the GBACG Workshop Coordinator from 2002 through 2006. She has taught numerous GBACG workshops, Costume College classes and private classes. Especially of note are Creating a Beautiful Bonnet and the very popular Ups and Downs: a workshop in parasol recovering.
Details: Price of class includes kit fee. Kit includes: a hand blocked buckram crown, buckram for the brim, French fleece mulling, wire, wire joiner and comb. A supply list will be sent to attendees that will include fabric and trim suggestions. Students need to have good hand sewing skills, and need to supply their own portable sewing machine (with zigzag setting), attendees should know how to operate their machine.

Dear Gossips,
Magic Mike vs Terminator this weekend at the box office – which way are you going? Here are some interesting comparisons:
Magic Mike XXL was made for just under $15 million while Terminator Genisys cost $155 million. For Channing Tatum, then, it's really not that much pressure compared to the other guy. According to Deadline, last night at screenings of Magic Mike XXL across the US "96% of Magic Mike XXL's audience was comprised of females — that's the biggest female share ever". And of that number, 34% of fans were there for Channing Tatum. I can understand this. He's one of the reasons I'll be going at some point too. Because I do enjoy, so much, watching him dance. And also, I just like him so much. Another reason? Magic Mike is one of those movies that you don't have to worry about missing any dialogue during the hootin' and the hollerin'. It's a form of relaxation isn't it? Listening to people requires so much more energy.
Have a great weekend!

2. I have an extreme aversion to overhead lighting. In my opinion, elevator lighting is toxic!
No one knows more about lighting than Mimi. This is a fact.
10. I dislocated my shoulder two years ago, and it was the worst pain I've ever experienced. I had to wear a glove for a while because it affected my hand as well. Thanks to physical therapy, I'm finally glove-free!
How is this a new thing? WE KNOW. EVERYONE KNOWS!!!

It's #ThrowbackThursday. So on The Today Show today they gave us the 80s. Boy George and Culture Club. Karma Chameleon. You know what? He sounds good, right? Or am I too nostalgic? I like the raspy quality to it. Whenever I watch blasts from the past like this, I always say to myself, oh my god, they haven't changed at all!

News Detail
Kent State Goes Above and Beyond Supplier Diversity GoalsPosted Mar. 24, 2014
Kent State University's strong relationship with many of its diverse vendors has enabled the success of its supplier diversity program.Vendor involvement and feedback have led to the program's success and an enhanced vendor database at Kent State.
The most recent benefit of this collaboration is that Kent State surpassed its minority business enterprise goal of 15 percent twice. The first quarter of Kent State's fiscal year ended with a total of 15.11 percent minority vendors, and the second quarter increased to 21.19 percent. This is fresh off the heels of a November 2013 nomination for the Northern Ohio Minority Supplier Development Council's Corporation of the Year award.
The combined efforts of Kent State and its vendors have resulted in recent accomplishments and long-term success. The SMART diverse vendor database has raised awareness on all eight of Kent State's campuses, bringing accessible and important information to buyers, purchase-card holders and architects using the new paperless database available to them. The online database creates an internal capability statement outlining minority- and women-owned companies.
"We need to make sure we have good data, and the supplier diversity database was designed to do just that — there is none other like it," says Veronica Cook-Euell, supplier diversity program manager at Kent State and creator of the SMART database. "The data we collect gives us significant information to help our buyers, end users and project managers make a decision to take a closer look. Often times, that closer look can and has resulted in a contract opportunity."
Outreach efforts across Northeast Ohio also have led to Kent State's resounding success. Cook-Euell has taken active roles in the community with major inclusion programming. Kent State has promoted minority inclusion through events such as the Global Business Connection, the Commission on Economic Inclusion and the State of Ohio Reverse Trade Fair.
Kent State has brought opportunities directly to campus by hosting several matchmaker events. These events bring together vendors and contractors with Kent State's purchasers and project managers, resulting in the creation of business relationships and opening the door to possible contract opportunities.
"We at Kent State value supplier diversity and are committed to inclusion of diverse businesses," Cook-Euell says. "We want that perfect world where our supplies are just as diverse as the products and services they provide."
That world may soon be realized as Kent State continues outreach efforts with vendors around Ohio and adds to its growing list of diversity accomplishments.

If you're a fan of forests, you've probably heard a lot recently about the Greenpeace Paradise Forest campaign. In particular, you may have heard about the giant conglomerate Sinar Mas which dominates the palm oil industry in Indonesia. Greenpeace has documented Sinar Mas repeatedly breaking industry guidelines, Indonesian law and its own public statements, razing rainforests to the ground in its race to produce palm oil. The growing controversy around their role in destroying rainforests crucial to endangered wildlife like orangutans and Sumatran tigers has led companies like Nestle, Kraft and Unilever to start cutting Sinar Mas palm oil out of their supply chains.
Sinar Mas is a huge conglomerate, and palm oil is only one of its businesses...and only one of the ways it destroys rainforests. Asia Pulp & Paper – it's giant paper branch – is one of the largest paper companies in the world, and one of the worst threats to rainforests and carbon-rich peatlands in Indonesia.
A new Greenpeace report released today exposes the destructive practices of APP and shines a light on the companies that are still doing business Sinar Mas. The report also counters recent APP greenwash, including its claim that its suppliers "only develop least valuable degraded forests and denuded [barren] wasteland." Pulping the Planet shows that the company is still sourcing from critical orangutan and Sumatran tiger habitat such as the Bukit Tigapulu Forest Landscape and Kerumutan Peat Forest. The report details how that rainforest and peatland destruction is also causing huge amounts of climate pollution.
You can read the report here (you'll need Adobe Reader and some patience to download the report since it's a pretty big file).
The report has already earned a lot of international attention and been reported on in with media outlets such as the New York Times, CNN and Time Magazine.
The report also draws attention to companies like Pizza Hut, Burger King and Dunkin' Donuts that Sinar Mas listed as key global customers in 2009. With leading food companies like Nestle, Kraft and Unilever taking action to sever business ties with rainforest-destroying companies, you have to wonder what fast-food companies are waiting for...are they waiting for activist orangutans to show up at their door? That could be arranged!
Give fast food companies a wake up call. Click here to tell them to stop serving up rainforest destruction!

Tesla Model S review: Great sports sedan, fabulous EV, excellent commuter December 11, 2013 at 12:30 pm
$75,000 buys you a fabulous car that'll get you 200+ miles on a charge, a glimpse of the future, and a new kind of dealer. The cost of electricity is the same as pumping $1.25 for a gallon of gas, while you drive along with sports car-level performance.
EVs are better and cheaper, so why aren't they selling? (Actually, they are) August 29, 2013 at 12:57 pm
Nissan Leaf and Tesla Model S are big successes. Rebates and early adopters help.

Lynx Reflect On The First Half Of The Season
Andrea Allis
Social Media Associate
While the WNBA takes a month-long break (the Lynx return to action August 17) for the Olympics, members of the Minnesota Lynx squad who remain home have already taken to the practice floor, keeping pace with the work their teammates are doing overseas.
The break is also a time for the Lynx coaching staff to review the first half of the season and take a look at what worked and what didn't, coach Cheryl Reeve said.
"[We're] evaluating many areas of the game," said Reeve. "It gives us a great time to objectively go back and look at the first 19 games, take a look at the offenses that we liked. If theres anything we can get rid of, then we look at that too. Its all in the name of these [last] 15 games. Whatever we were good at, lets keep that. If it was iffy, get rid of it."
Looking at the first half of the season, Reeve said she was impressed with the shooting ability her team displayed. There's little reason not to be, as the Lynx sit at first place in the league in field goal percentage (48.6 percent) as well as points per game (86.7).
"We had five or six games where we shot better than 50 percent," said Reeve. "Offensively we were pretty good. Defensively, most times we were pretty good. We had a stretch where teams hit shots on us, especially from the three-point line, and that hurt us. If theres a way we can get better, were going to find that way."
Among their strengths, guard Monica Wright also counts the Lynx reserves' ability to bring a spark to the game and hit the floor when their names are called without missing a beat.
"The whole bench did a good job of being that fire, bringing energy in certain points in certain games," Wright said. "We are going to continue being the bench mob, someone that our team can rely on."
Veteran center Taj McWilliams-Franklin said that the Lynx had a great first half of the season but that there are still plenty of areas the team needs to improve if they want to have a strong second half and repeat as champions this year.
"Some of the things we need to fix are the same things that everyone wants to work on," McWilliams-Franklin said. "We want to be better defensively, more consistent offensively. Our defensive intensity and our defensive rebounding -- lift those to the level where we know we can be. We have had too many turnovers in a lot of games. Definitely get our turnovers down."
McWilliams-Franklin said that rebounding with two wins over the Tulsa Shock just before the break after suffering a three-game losing streak was important for the team's momentum and confidence. She also said that the losses helped the Lynx to realize some of their shortcomings, to focus and improve.
"I think some players opened their eyes to see we aren't as good as they thought. For me, it's winning or losing. I look at games the same way, to see the mistakes I made and how I can get better.
"The same things that are there in our wins are there in our losses. I hope to say that we are able to look at wins and losses the same way."

Angela Privette and Wanda Privette
Washington County Animal Control and Jonesborough Public Safety seized four malnourished dogs they found tied on short chains to trees in a woman's yard, according to court documents.
Two women were charged in the incident.
Wanda Privette, 66, and Angela Privette, 37, of 209 Longview Ave., Jonesborough are charged with four counts of animal cruelty. Angela Privette also faces other charges — driving on a cancelled license, simple possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia — unrelated to the animal cruelty.
Jonesborough PSO Justin Hazlewood first responded to a call about a dog running loose around 10 20 a.m. Sunday and then discovered it and the other animals at the Privette's residence.
"All the dogs looked very malnourished, there was no food present at any of the areas, ther was not adequate shelter provided for any of the dogs and the dogs were restrained with short chains to different trees and a post in the yard," Hazlewood wrote in a court document.
The chains, he noted, were too short to allow the dogs to move around.
The Privettes were not home at the time, but due to the condition of the dogs, Hazlewood called for animal control to take the animals.
Later the same day, at 3 p.m., Hazlewood responded to the Family Dollar on West Jackson Boulevard about a suspicious person inside the store. The woman, identified as Angela Privette, was acting incoherent and intoxicated, according to the report.
Hazlewood said in court documents that Privette told him she had taken suboxone. She was initially arrested on the animal cruelty charges, but after Hazlewood retrieved her a cigarette from her vehicle — at her request — he found two baggies that had a green leafy plant material stuffed into the cigarette case.
When Hazlewood searched Privette's car he also found four cut straws with residue on them. He did not identify the residue in the court document.
Both Privettes were scheduled to be arraigned today in Washington County General Sessions Court.comments powered by Disqus

Zubin MehtaWhile Zubin Mehta was still in his teens, his teacher, the venerable Hans Swarowsky, called him "a born conductor." Years later in 1981, the year Mehta was named Music Director for Life of the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, Harold C. Schonberg wrote in The New York Times that "his beat must be an orchestra player's delight. It is almost textbook in its motions, moving in fairly large arcs in an unfussy manner…. There is something Toscaninian in Mr. While Zubin Mehta was still in his teens, his teacher, the venerable Hans Swarowsky, called him "a born conductor." Years later in 1981, the year Mehta was named Music Director for Life of the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, Harold C. Schonberg wrote in The New York Times that "his beat must be an orchestra player's delight. It is almost textbook in its motions, moving in fairly large arcs in an unfussy manner…. There is something Toscaninian in Mr. Mehta's beat." And yet there always has been something more than the control of even the great Toscanini in Mehta's conducting. Mehta's passion on the podium is all his own. His musical integrity is legend, and his love of freedom is as great as his love of music.
"It is not politics," Mehta has said, "it is humanity. I don't campaign for anybody." He makes sublime music for everybody, often carrying it where it is most needed: from the ruins of the Bosnian National Library in war-torn Sarajevo to Tel Aviv during the Gulf War, in Moscow's Gorky Park during the twilight of the Soviet era, in India with his Israeli musicians breaking a decades-long absence of cultural dialogue and diplomatic ties. In 1999, Mehta's passion brought together for the first time the Israel Philharmonic and the Bavarian State Opera Orchestra for a historic performance of Mahler's Resurrection Symphony No. 2 in what had been a concentration camp in Weimar. Mehta has spread the sheer sensual joy of great music from American coast to coast at the helm of the New York Philharmonic and the Los Angeles Philharmonic, and also at festival time in Florence, and through season after glorious season in his home theater in Munich. Mehta led the Three Tenors Concerts in Rome and Los Angeles. Together with his friends and fellow soccer fans José Carreras, Placido Domingo and Luciano Pavarotti, he created the most wildly sensational classical music success story of our time. Always a showman but also indefatigably a servant of the score, Mehta has a rich and growing discography that attests to the breadth of his musical genius.
While Zubin Mehta, who is Parsee by heritage and Indian by birth, currently resides in Los Angeles, he was born in Bombay—now called Mumbai-in 1936. He grew up in a time of national strife, of India's hard-won independence but also of the painful partition and birth of Pakistan, of Gandhi's assassination and its aftermath, a time of fragile peace. He received his musical early education from his father Mehli Mehta, violinist and co-founder of the Bombay Symphony Orchestra and later music director of the American Youth Symphony in Los Angeles. His younger brother Zarin Mehta is today executive director of the New York Philharmonic. Neither Zarin nor Zubin set out originally for careers in music, however, and young Zubin in fact began training in medicine. After only two semesters of medical school, Zubin Mehta launched into music in earnest, studying conducting with Swarowsky at the Music Academy in Vienna. Zubin Mehta won the Liverpool International Conducting Competition in 1958, shortly afterwards also winning the Koussevitzky Competition in Tanglewood. By his mid-20s, Mehta already had conducted both the Vienna Philharmonic and the Berlin Philharmonic.
His rise in the music world was swift. Zubin Mehta was music director of the Montreal Symphony Orchestra from 1961 to 1967. In 1962 he became music director of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, a position he held until 1978 and a relation he still holds dear: in 2006, after a Philharmonic concert in the new Disney Hall where Mehta received a special award from the city of Los Angeles, Mark Swed wrote in the Los Angeles Times that "something strong and evidently indestructible runs deep between him and this community."
In 1969, Mehta was named Music Advisor of the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, where he became Music Director in 1978. In 1981, the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra bestowed on Mehta the unique accolade of making him Music Director for Life. So far he has conducted more than 2,000 performances with these extraordinary musicians on landmark tours across five continents. In 1978, Mehta became Music Director of the New York Philharmonic, where his 13-year tenure would become the longest in the orchestra's history. Since 1985, he has been revitalizing opera as chief conductor of the Maggio Musicale Fiorentino. This year he completes his tenure as music director of the Bavarian State Opera in Munich, where his operatic triumphs are legend.
Mehta made his operatic debut in Puccini's Tosca in Montreal in 1964. Bringing to the stage the same intensity, truth and passion that he inevitably summons in the concert hall, Mehta's operatic careers has followed a similar trailblazing path: He has led major productions at the Metropolitan Opera in New York, the Vienna State Opera, the Royal Opera, Covent Garden, at Milan's La Scala and at the Salzburg Festival, as well as in the major houses and festivals in Montreal, Chicago and Florence. Mehta's recordings form a living panorama of the best music-making of this or any other era. There have been intensely personal live and studio performances of the classics of the canon, of Mozart and Beethoven, of Brahms, Berlioz and Mahler. Among his many operatic recordings are several that count among the finest of all time, including a stellar version of Turandot that marked the first time both Joan Sutherland and Luciano Pavarotti took the leading roles in Puccini's late masterpiece. A second Turandot recording acts as a souvenir of Mehta's historic performance of the opera in China's Forbidden City.
This year saw the publication in Germany of Zubin Mehta's autobiography, Die Partitur meines Leben: Erinnerungen (The Score of my Life: Memories). The memories are many, the life remarkable. "It all comes from the music, "Mehta has said. "I do whatever the music demands. What is conducting? Conducting is communication. And what I communicate at the moment is what I feel and what my musicians need."

About POGO's Federal Contractor Misconduct Database (FCMD)
The government awards contracts to companies with histories of misconduct such as contract fraud and environmental, ethics, and labor violations. In the absence of a centralized federal database listing instances of misconduct, the Project On Government Oversight (POGO) is providing such data. We believe that it will lead to improved contracting decisions and public access to information about how the government spends hundreds of billions of taxpayer money each year on goods and services.
