Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Recap of Season 3, Episode 6: Hip to Be Scared
So much drama! Tonight's shocking Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Season 3, Episode 6, "She's Gone Too Far," involves new cars, drunken servers, and Brandi Glanville's rumor that ignites a huge argument at Mauricio's work party. We assume that Paul Nassif probably would have had more fun staying at home and waxing his back hair, which is definitely saying something.
Which Came First: the Egg or the Mercedes?
The episode, "She's Gone Too Far," starts off on an upbeat note (don't get used to that this week!) with Mauricio pretending that his daughter Alexia's friends threw eggs at their cars. The big reveal is that he and Kyle Richards are giving her a Mercedes-Benz. Keep in mind that Alexia doesn't actually have her license yet. Yes, Mauricio is the coolest (and hottest) dad ever.
Lisa Vanderpump learns that a longtime Sur customer was upset by a comment made by server Stassi. Take-no-guff Lisa meets with Stassi and chastises her for drinking on the job and for saying the party sucked. (Stassi is classy!) Lisa gives her the night off, although Stassi thinks Lisa won't hear her side of things. Then again, being drunk at work doesn't give you a lot of leverage.
Lisa has several of the ladies over to Sur to test out her new appetizer menu. Talk quickly turns to Adrienne. Brandi — who recently met with her own agent to discuss her book cover — makes cracks about Adrienne Maloof's supposed book deal. Even Ken gets in on the fun, as he apparently thinks Adrienne's book will have as many words as, say, a Where's Waldo book.
Then, Brandi explains why there's tension between her and Adrienne, saying that Paul and Adrienne tried to get her to make comments about Lisa on Twitter. We always knew that little Twitter bird was up to no good.
But then things get worse. Brandi says something about Adrienne and Paul which is so shocking that Bravo censors her statement! All the ladies are stunned, especially Kim Richards, who later asks Taylor Armstrong why no one said anything to Brandi.
And if you're wondering what Brandi said about Adrienne, have no fear! Wetpaint Entertainment has the exclusive inside scoop on exactly what she said! And yep, we can see why the ladies' jaws dropped.
Adrienne and Paul Get Hip to What Was Said, Ken Just Gets a Hip
Paul and Adrienne are preparing for a barbecue for their nephews, and Adrienne is busy teaching Paul how to shred lettuce and then how to use the barbecue. In other words, they are blissfully unaware of the hairy situation going on at Sur. And speaking of "hairy" (how about that for a segue?!), Paul is clearly not familiar with the word "manscaping."
Lisa is busy helping Ken, who is undergoing a hip transplant after a polo accident ten years ago. Lisa realizes how much Ken means to her when she sees him being carted away for the procedure, but luckily, Ken is just fine afterward. These two are just the cutest, aren't they?
But unluckily for Lisa, he has a smokin' hot nurse who wants to know what Ken can or can't feel below the belt. Ken is suddenly thinking, "Wait — is today Christmas, or is it my birthday? Itmust be one or the other."
Mauricio is throwing a lavish dinner gathering to celebrate a successful first year for his real estate company, The Agency. (How long did it take to come up with that name, Mauricio? Were you in a hurry or something?) It's here that we meet Dimitri, Camille's new boyfriend, who is short on conversation but long on... uh, let's get to the next paragraph, shall we?
Adrienne and Paul finally arrive to Mauricio's event, and Brandi is worried, since she doesn't know if they've heard what she's said about them. Well, they don't know — until Kim pops over to inform them. Paul and Adrienne are furious at Brandi, with Adrienne promising a lawsuit and Paul saying he wants "to slam this person right now." Where is some lettuce to take your anger out on when you need it?
"Thanks For Coming — Now Please Leave"
The rest of the ladies are concerned about what might be transpiring between Kim, Adrienne, and Paul — but the mystery doesn't last long. Paul and Adrienne walk over to say they're leaving, and Paul loudly refers to Brandi as a "bitch." And by the way, if you're keeping track of how many times the word bitch is used, let's hope you have a lot of fingers at your disposal to count on.
Adrienne calls Brandi a liar, and Paul calls Brandi a "piece of s**t," but Brandi swears on her children that she's telling the truth. Funny Brandi should mention her kids, because Adrienne then claims that Brandi sleeps until three in the afternoon and leaves her children alone, which Brandi denies. Speaking of sleep, all this stress is making us want a nap.
Meanwhile, Kyle is unhappy, since she's watching Mauricio's work event become a nightmare. So she finally gets Paul and Adrienne to leave, although they have plenty of comments on the way out, including Adrienne making drug accusations about Brandi. Long story short: Yikes.
So now that the dust has settled and the word "bitch" is done being thrown around repeatedly, what is there to make of this? Well, whether or not Brandi's accusation is true, we can see why Adrienne and Paul might want to keep it private.
And we understand that Kim felt funny being around Adrienne and Paul without them knowing what Brandi said about them. But if Kim felt so strongly, why didn't she call Adrienne on the phone to break the news? Or meet up somewhere private to tell them? There's no reason at all why Mauricio deserved to have his work function ruined by this spat.
All in all, we imagine everyone at the party was thinking by the end of the night, "If only I could have had a massive surgery to get out of coming to this party like Ken did." So we can't wait to see how everything gets sorted out next week. If anyone needs us, we'll be relieving the tension from this episode by shredding lettuce. We better buy a lot of lettuce.

SUBJECT: U.S.-Canada Determination of Equivalency
Effective Date: July 1, 2009
1. ACAs must inform their clients that effective July 1, for raw produce intended to be shipped to Canada, no field from which such produce is intended to be harvested may be treated with sodium nitrate (Chilean nitrate). Fields do not have to undergo a three-year transition to meet this requirement. However, fields must be designated free from the application of sodium nitrate, OSPs must be amended, records kept, and the OSP must be auditable. This does not apply to products used in processed products.
2. ACAs must document and collect livestock density ratios for all operations certified for livestock, poultry, and eggs. Data required are animal units per acre or per square foot (for swine and poultry) for all certified operations. ACAs may use their own format for collecting such data, such as an Excel spreadsheet. During the next year, NOP will call on ACAs to submit this data to the NOP in a form needed by the NOP so that such data can be reported to CFIA. More details will be forthcoming as necessary. This does not apply to processed products.

The unofficial blog google.org.cn reports that Google tests a new interface for Image Search. The experimental interface uses bigger thumbnails and no longer shows information about images. To find useful information like the size of the image or the domain that links to the image, you need to mouse over the image.
Google's new UI is very similar to Bing Image Search's interface. It's not the first time when Google tries to hide image details. In 2007, Google launched an image search interface that only displayed information about a result when you hovered over an image, but a lot of users complained and the old interface has been brought back.

Speaker brings anti-bullying message to local schoolsWritten by Brigitta Burks | News Editor | email@example.com
Inspirational speaker Ronnie Bachman will bring his anti-bullying message to several Toledo-area middle-schoolers this week as part of his 11-state tour.
Bachman had a birth defect that led to his legs being amputated when he was 4 years old. Although he had prosthetics, Bachman abandoned them in favor of walking on his hands by the time he turned 18.
The Detroit native doesn't let his disability slow him down physically or emotionally. He encourages middle-school students to do the same.
"Often I'll say to them, 'It's not important what happens to you, it's important how you handle what happens to you,'" he said.
Bachman attended Cody High School and Specs Howard School of Broadcast Arts in Metro Detroit because he wanted to be a radio personality. When he was trying to break into the business, he became the subject of the documentary "Walk This Way," which received several awards. The documentary was co-produced by Aerosmith's Steven Tyler, who also makes a cameo. Bachman counts Tyler as a friend of 36 years.
"I was walking around on my hands, messing around with [Tyler's] stuff backstage in his dressing room and a guy came in and said, 'Wow, dude, look how you get around.' And without missing a beat, Steven said, 'We walk like this (gestures at feet), but Ronnie walks this way.' And it was like a new thing was born," Bachman said.
Kathryn Vander, director and producer of the documentary, first asked Bachman to speak to middle-schoolers in the '90s. Bachman was reluctant, but once he made his first presentation, he was hooked.
"As soon as I was done, someone asked me to do it again. And I did it again. And to make a long story short, that's well over 1,000 shows ago."
"Walk This Way" is also the name of Bachman's book, which is slated for release this winter. In addition, Jeff Thomas of Rainstorm Pictures in Monroe shot a pilot for a potential Bachman reality TV show. Thomas is trying to sell it to networks, Bachman said.
Monroe Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram Superstore sponsored the local section of Bachman's tour. The Superstore is part of the Dodge 20 group, a network of dealerships that help support each other. Dodge 20 members along with Linamar Corporation are sponsoring Bachman's other stops, including those in Canada. Bachman's tour stops for Nov. 7 to 11 include Washington Junior High, Whiteford Middle School, Monroe-area Catholic schools, Dundee Middle School, Ida Middle School, Wagar Middle School and Carleton/ Newport-area Catholic schools.
Ralph Mahalak Jr., owner of Monroe Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram Superstore, met Bachman about 12 years ago. He brought Bachman to speak for the Dodge 20 group in Detroit a couple of years ago.
"Unilaterally, 100 percent of them (in Dodge 20) signed up to invite Ronnie to their communities so Ronnie could get into the schools in their areas," Mahalak said. "We need to get his message out as quickly as we can and to as many kids as we can. It certainly seems bullying has gone to a new level with these teenagers and you're seeing more suicides and more kids getting hurt. All I can say is we can't save everyone, but we can certainly try."

- Willamette
- College of Liberal Arts
- Economics
The Economics Program at Willamette University helps students develop their abilities to think carefully about complex economic, political and social issues by providing foundations for understanding economic behaviors at all levels of society.
Economics at Willamette is taught as an integral part of a liberal arts education. The approach is analytical and applied with a focus on social institutions, social outcomes and public policy.
Students are challenged to explore how the activities of private interests, public institutions and interest groups interact in shaping such issues as environmental quality, international economic concerns, urban and regional problems, poverty, inflation and unemployment.
All economics majors complete a rigorous sequence in core microeconomics and macroeconomics theory. This sequence prepares students to "think like economists" and apply the tools of economic analysis to their own lives, current events and the important choices every society must make. Particular social choices are featured in elective courses on issues related to the environment, international trade, health care, public finance, labor markets, economic development and other topics. In the advanced elective course students pursue topics related to the professor's area of expertise and begin to develop their own research on topics of their choosing. All economics majors work closely with a senior seminar coordinator and other faculty members to complete an independent research thesis as the capstone experience in their senior year.
Students have an opportunity to apply their economic knowledge and analytical abilities through an active internship program where they are placed in local business settings, or in state agencies such as the Legislative Revenue Office, Office of Economic Analysis, Department of Forestry and Department of Justice.
Many Oregon agencies are located across the street from Willamette and provide students with valuable opportunities to apply their economics training while working with people making public policy decisions for the state. Agencies and businesses in nearby Portland provide internship opportunities with a more international focus.

Middle school teachers generally teach grades 6 through 8. Teachers who instruct middle school must be equipped with a great deal of patience. Communication, trust, and the ability to motive and understand children are key components to being a good middle school teacher, particularly because these are very formative years for children. The education they receive during this time shapes their futures and prepares them for adulthood. Middle school teachers are required to obtain a bachelor's degree and complete teacher education/certification programs that are specific to each state. They can teach such subjects as science, math, English, social studies, art, music and more. Middle school teachers prepare report cards to show the progress of each student, and they also assist those students who have difficulty with certain subjects. On occasion, they will have to meet with parents and members of the staff to discuss any problems a student may be having personally or academically. They may also supervise extracurricular activities and field trips. Most middle school teachers work at public or private schools and generally work Monday through Friday with the summers off (unless they teach summer school or work for a year-round school). On occasion, they may need to stay at work in the evening or come in on the weekends.Read More...

Great at First, But
By CalCyclist
from Palm Desert
Purchased to replace ultra light wieght single sided SPD. Loved the Iclicks at first, easy step in without looking, plus smooth bearings. However the pins at the rear of the body worked themselves loose, casuing the pedal to fail long before it should. Mine lasted about 20 months and only 3K miles. I just put my old magnesium and titanium SPDs back on, they have well over 15k on them and still going strong.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Save your cash-period.

from Tucson, Az
I thought pedals were great - on the first ride. They totally fell apart on my third ride with them. The backs of the pedals fell off, and I had to ride home with broken pedals! Disappointing buy.
Stable and easy to use

About Me Competitive Cyclist
See all my reviews
I knew I would need to replace the pedals on my road bike soon, so I had done some research prior to buying. "What is the best pedal for road racing?" The Time iClic came to the surface of the information received. When my right foot came loose from my old pedals at 20 mph one night, it was time to change.There are no adjustments except for positioning the cleats on your shoes. You don't have to fiddle with anything else. No greasy lubricant is required either. You install them, click in and ride, period! They feel very stable.

Turn back Time
By roadeagl
from pittsburgh
Bought a pair of these for my main machine to replace my bulletproof Looks. [i don't know why] Even though i found the click-in learning curve excessively long, decided to standardize my other two road bikes with these to keep things simple. One pedal broke on an uphill climb and another has a slightly bent axle out of the box. Nashville was excellent in replacing but if I could "turn back Time", I'd Look elswhere.
I will buy these pedals again
By sweetwater
from Pahrump, NV.
Have just 200 miles on my Iclic's 2, but so far they are the best clip-less pedals I've used these past 15 years Easy in and out, lite weight, and appears quite durable. Give me 500 hundred more miles and then i'll be able to be more informed. I would recommend these to a friend. Knowing how great these peddles are I would opted for the next grade up.
Great easy entry pedal

Cannot best these pedals for Nashbar sale price.

No cons
By Duderoo
from Knox tn
I just got my third set of these pedals. I have ridden on the iclic2 "racer" version that is red on my two road bikes and just got these standard versions for my tt bike. I've got about 8000 miles combined on my two old sets, and have had no problems with them. I've used the same shoes an cleats the whole time and the cleats show little wear. Occasional clip in misfires happen but it's very obvious by feel when it happens as opposed to the spd pedals I used to ride where a faulty clip in was not always as obvious. They are lighter than a lot of other pedals, and width adjustment worked well for me. The nashbar price is far less than other retailers but even at higher cost these pedals have been a great value.
Poor engineering
By pedal pusher
from San Francisco, CA
I've used Time Impact pedals and enjoy Time pedals after using Speedplay and SPDs. I find that Time's Impact pedals did not leave any hotspots, which the Speedplays and SPDs suffer from.While the iClic 2's are light and engage easily, the hold does not feel as secure as the Impact pedals. I also had a similar experience to a previous reviewer where the pin under the "T" broke on my primary pedal (one that doesn't click in/out frequently). This is surprising and unsettling as the pedal semi-holds, but it's very wobbly and loose, and I'm afraid of an accidental unclip.I'll be switching to Impact's/RXS's for now.

ELK CREEK - What began as an altercation ended in the loss of two lives in the Elk Creek community Wednesday evening, with one of the deceased being the brother of Mingo County Commissioner David Baisden.
According to a report provided by West Virginia State Police (WVSP) Trooper C.A. Douglas, the incident began shortly after 9 p.m. when Phillip Gilman, 43, a convicted felon and a convicted sex offender, attacked Alfred Russell Curry, 75, with a claw hammer. Gilman resided in a camper that was located on property owned by Curry on the Left Fork of Elk Creek, near the Town of Delbarton.
The past criminal history of Gilman is a colorful one that includes a prison sentence for first degree murder in the 1990's and a conviction on charges of 2nd degree sexual assault in 2005. Gilman allegedly shot through the window of a home in 1993, fatally wounding an individual who was asleep on the couch. He was sentenced to 5-18 years in a state prison for the crime, but then tried to escape from prison in 1995 and was ordered to serve an additional 3 years. He was released in 2001 and returned to Mingo County, but did not stay out of trouble for very long. Gilman was found guilty of sexually assaulting a woman in 2005 and was sentenced to 1-3 years in jail. Shortly after serving time for this crime, the defendant relocated to Florida and was arrested in 2009 after failing to register as a sex offender. He had been residing in the Delbarton area for nearly 2 years prior to Wednesday night's incident.
The events that unfolded are a nightmare for Commissioner Baisden, who had received a phone call from his brother's neighbor informing him that Gilman had attacked his older sibling with a claw hammer, and said his brother had managed to get away from the attacker and had managed to run a short distance before collapsing in the middle of the road, incapacitated from the severe head injuries he had suffered.
Baisden went to the scene and along with another individual, was attempting to load his brother in his Ford F-150 truck to transport him to the hospital when Gilman allegedly came up from the creek bank, still armed with the hammer, and assaulted Baisden.
"Dave was armed with a handgun and pulled it on Gilman, but stated that he could not bring himself to pull the trigger," stated fellow Commissioner Greg "Hootie" Smith, speaking on behalf of Baisden. "Gilman then managed to gain possession of Dave's truck and proceeded to run over Alfred, who was still sitting in the middle of the road."
Trooper Douglas said that Gilman headed up the road in Baisden's truck. The commissioner then got into a vehicle with another person and followed behind and met up with Timmy White, a Delbarton Fireman who had heard the 911 call requesting help for Curry. The men returned to the scene and were attempting to render medical aid for the victim when Gilman also came back to the crime scene.
"The suspect once again drove Commissioner Baisden's truck overtop of Curry, who we believe was already deceased at that time," stated Douglas. "He then exited the truck and got into a physical altercation with the commissioner that ended when the fireman with Baisden pulled a pistol and proceeded to shoot Gilman twice. The suspect still managed to flee the scene on foot even though he was injured."
"A short time later, one of our troopers and a Delbarton Police officer encountered Gilman, who charged them with the claw hammer raised above his head and was shot one time in the chest by the patrolman, which caused his death."
The fireman who had shot Gilman has a valid concealed weapon permit and will not be charged in the shooting, having just cause for his actions.
"What's causing Dave the most grief is his feelings that if he would have shot Mr. Gilman the first time he was attacked before he stole his truck and ran over Alfred, maybe he could have prevented his brother's death," stated Commissioner Smith. "This speaks volumes about the type of character that Dave possesses, and clearly illustrates that even in the worst of situations, he was not able to injure another individual regardless of the situation."
"Dave cares for his fellow man and could not bring himself to harm Mr. Gilman, even though the man had physically assaulted both he and his brother. He has a good heart and was unable to pull the trigger. That took a lot of restraint on his part."
"Our hearts break for Dave and his family," stated Mingo County Commission President John Mark Hubbard. "We are here for whatever he needs and we want him to know how much we admire and respect his character."
"This goes to show you that none of us ever know what we're going to have to face in our lives," stated Mingo County Chief Magistrate Dallas Toler. "We none have the guarantee that we're going to make it home each evening or wake up in the morning."
"Dave is close to his family and always looked out for Alfred," said Toler. "He went to his aid this time and almost lost his own life in the process. He could very easily have been killed by the man who attacked his brother. Timmy White (the Delbarton fireman) is a hero in my book; he shot Mr. Gilman and saved Dave from being seriously injured."
"Mr. Gilman was given every chance to stand down," stated the trooper. "He was repeatedly told to drop the weapon and surrender, but he chose to do otherwise. That decision cost him his life."
Commissioner Baisden asked the Daily News to express his gratitude for the outpouring of support he has received from the residents of Mingo County over the loss of his brother, and said it was times like these that you realized how important it is to have good friends.
"I thank everyone from the bottom of my heart that has called to check on me, or who stopped by the office," said Baisden. "I can't tell you how much it has meant to me and my family."
"Alfred was a simple man who enjoyed the simple things in life; it didn't take a lot to make him happy. He was a good man who did not deserve what happened. He was my brother – and I loved him. Our family has suffered a great loss."
Baisden stated he wanted to say a special thank you to the Delbarton Fire Department, the WVSP, Mingo County deputies, EMS and first responders, and anyone else who responded to the scene.
"I appreciate each and every one of you and on behalf of my entire family – we say thank you."
What the argument between Gilman and Curry stemmed from that put the wheels in motion Wednesday evening may never be known, since both men are now deceased. Gilman's body has been sent to the State Medical Examiner's office for toxicology testing to see if he had ingested drugs or alcohol prior to the event that ended his life and reports will be released to the public once they are received.
'I think there is a distinct possibility that drugs may have played a part in this crime," stated Trooper Douglas. "It would not surprise me at all if Mr. Gilman tests positive for drugs."
Funeral arrangements for Curry will be announced by the Chafin Funeral Home in Delbarton as soon as they are completed.

Let's hope the Nogueira brothers convince Silva to fight again.
Frankie's fight was awesome. But what suprised was Kennedy being able to survive the Gracie's submission attempts, Cheers to that guy!
Hopefully having the king dethroned will infuse new energies throughout the division and the entire promotion.

http://www.bjpenn.com/quick-twitt-an...s-a-blue-belt/There are black belts and then there are black belts'
Famous words from UFC commentator Joe Rogan who himself happens to hold a black belt rank in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
Former UFC lightweight champion, Benson Henderson, also holds a black belt in brazilian Jiu Jitsu and in his latest outing at UFC 164 he adorned his shorts with a black belt graphic to remind everyone.
Which is why, some may find it surprising to learn that the new champ, Anthony Pettis, submitted him as a low ranking blue belt.
Guilherme Cruz @guicruzzz
Anthony Pettis' coach just told me he'll promote the UFC champ to purple belt in jiu-jitsu next week. Yes, a blue belt submitted Henderson.
Makes Pettis' sub on Bendo that much more impressive.
Edit; if a mod can fix the title that would be awesome. didnt realize it had the "more at h" part

Dr. Mark H. Bouffard's Ratings
When I saw Dr. Bouffard he was working with Dr. Reinhart. He was a jerk but did address my pain with a great prescription.
Was this rating useful? 1 [[ userState['ratings'][2752896].votes_count ]]
Dr Bouffard has been extremely compassionate and understanding when it comes to helping my pain. If you have been struggling along with some tramadol for spine and joint problems, he will be a godsend. However, this is not the place to go to get drugs for recreation. If the doctors don't notice immediately that you are deceiving them, they will find out during a random piss test. My doctor has been able to deflect some risk by using drug tests randomly. These are deluxe tests so don't even think about the fake urine kits. Anyway, the best way to gain a doctors trust is to not be whiny( unless you can't help it ). tears aren't productive here since you are considered tough for bring such a trooper through the pain, so it is best to have a relaxed attitude during your appointments. Your blood pressure and pulse will give away your pain for you. In sum, dr Bouffard will be your best ally if you are genuinely in pain, but don't lie ! He allows use of only 1 pharmacy to refill.

After my March 26th appt. with Dr. Bouffard I waited to hear from Eisenhower to approve of my health insurance coverage for a special X-Ray that I needed. I waited a couple weeks, called Eisenhower and they said they hadn't received my insurance info from Bouffard's. So I called the Dr.s office and they said they'd send that. Then a week later, after another call to Eisenhower, I was told that they still needed the Patient Notes from the Dr.s office. So I called again and they said yes, they would be sending it. So then I waited and waited and never heard from Eisenhower and just gave up. Now, I just received a notice from Blue Shield dated May 30th, that the Imaging Company at Eisenhower still needed the Patient Notes and two other pieces of info that the Dr.s office never sent. I'm quite sure this is an unusual sequence, or this doctor for sure wouldn't stay in business, but it is pretty shockingly bad customer service. Anyway, sorry to report such a negative comment.....

I am self referring to Dr. "B". Had to cancel 1st appt. They have been so kind and understanding. Interesting to me is Reinhardt history. Dr. "R" was 1st I went to for pain mgt and 3 unsetting appts. later I felt very upset. Saw only Reinhardt and "nurse Ratchet". I have Intersistial Cystitis, triple major scoliosis in spine, stenosis, spondolisthesis & osteoarthritis and have been on presc/ pain med. since 2003. All he offered me was a Cortisol shot in my spine which I declined. I have a much better feeling and great hope for Dr. "B".

Dr. Bouffard is no longer in Reinhart's office! He is on his own in a great location. The staff is so much nicer. The wait time is significantly less. Dr. Bouffard is the best! He is compassionate, knowledgeable and very up to date in the latest medicine and technology. I highly recommend him for pain management!

He works in Reinhart,s office; but do not let that ratint deter you. Dr. Bouffard is up on all kinds of other types of meds is knowledgeable on lower prices, generics, works within financial limitations. He is better than my "primary" on new methods from pain to depression to menopause or blood disorders. Compassionate, professional, approachable.

There's an outlaw in all of us, no doubt. Most of us, however, choose to keep that outlaw at bay - taking a desk job, turning the other cheek when people insult us, choosing to live within the laws of the land on which we reside. But we love to live vicariously through the people who forsake all that...choose their own path. And that's why Discovery's The Devil's Ride is one of its most watched shows. Following the real life adventures and drama of the Laffing Devils Motorcycle Club and its rival club Sinister Mob Syndicate (Sin Mob for short), every moment of every show is taut with the knowledge that this is REALLY happening!

Dr. Beth A Cook started her career in healthcare administration and then realized she would rather work directly with patients. So she left her position as marketing director of a large hospital in West Virginia and went to medical school, where she decided to specialize in obstetrics and gynecology. Over the past decade, she has built a busy Ob/Gyn practice in Summerville with Women's Health Partners. Plus, she serves as chief medical adviser at Summerville Medical Center (SMC), which means she acts as a liaison between the physicians and the administration, a natural fit given her background. She is pleased to be a part of the recent expansion of the South Carolina Institute for Robotic Surgery to SMC and likes the advantages that robotics give her in performing gynecologic procedures such as hysterectomy, cyst removal and endometriosis relief. "Patients are doing fantastic post-operatively." "I still remember the first birth that I got to see, the one that catches you in your heart and makes you tear up and say, 'Yep this is what I want to do.'"

Many thought this Lakers team was a mortal lock for the Western Conference Finals, if not the NBA Finals. I had them losing to Oklahoma City in the West Finals, primarily because of the Steve Nash/Russell Westbrook defensive matchup, but why quibble – even projecting them to make the conference finals was a gross over-estimation of their collective ability. They stumbled out of the gate, getting Mike Brown fired in the process, and have yet to show any sign that they'll turn things around.
The Lakers have a host of problems, but many of them can be traced back to Dwight Howard. He's been an awful fit playing alongside Kobe Bryant. He doesn't like being a complementary player on the offensive end – even though he's probably the Lakers' fifth-best scorer. His presence has pushed Pau Gasol out of position. Gasol has been ineffective playing the four, fallen out of the starting five, and like Howard, taken to sulking about his role.
What's Mitch Kupchak to do? He may have an out. Stop me if you've heard this one before, but according to reports, Dwight Howard is unhappy, isn't sure what he wants to do with his next contract, and may be traded at the deadline. It might make an awful lot of sense for Kupchak to cut his losses and see what he can get for Howard, rather than risk losing him for nothing in the offseason. A deal sending Howard to his hometown Atlanta Hawks could bring back Josh Smith, a deal that might make sense for both teams.
Of course, there's a very real possibility that Jim Buss was the real force behind the Howard trade, which could complicate matters significantly. Not to mention Howard's lingering shoulder injury, which caused him to leave Wednesday's game. (He should be back in action on Friday.)

Union Pacific LEGACY DD35A #70
6-28311 | Price: $599.99
The Double Diesel
In the early 1960s, Union Pacific approached three major loco manufacturers with a formidable challenge: Build the railroad a new diesel-electric loco set that could provide a total of 15,000 h.p. which would decrease the number of lash-ups necessary for U.P.'s long distance operations. The winning builder was GM's Electro Motive Division with a massive, cabless "double diesel" called the DD35, completed in 1963. In essence, EMD's new 88-foot engine was made up of two GP35 diesel locomotives built on a single chassis, and resting on newly-designed 4-axle "D" trucks.
Originally GM configured the consist to run as a four-unit set, with two 5000 h.p. DD35 booster units sandwiched between two 1500 h.p. GP35 diesels. What an incredible sight it must have been in 1963 to see this prototype set of engines on its nationwide promotional tour, all four units decorated boldly in red and white stripes! Union Pacific was delighted with the performance of these engines and immediately bought 27 of them in 1964, along with GP35 diesels to complete the unit sets.
Soon after the initial purchase, Union Pacific requested EMD to redesign the DD35 booster engine to include a cab in front. EMD complied, and in 1965 they sold a total of 15 cab-equipped DD35A diesels to the U.P. Besides the obvious cab addition to the engine, the DD35A also sported a narrow nose and a new style of radiator on the roof that flared out dramatically along the roof sides. DD35A diesels were solid workhorses for the Union Pacific until the early 1980s when the downturn of the economy forced the last of these mammoth engines into retirement. Unfortunately, not a single DD35 diesel survives today. As we look back, the DD35 represents a significant turning point for the Union Pacific as it shifted out of the turbine era and committed fully to a new era of modern diesel electrics.

Girl Develop It Toledo offers bargain tech classesWritten by Jordan Finney | | email@example.com
Google recently published a diversity report that revealed 30 percent of its employees are women. The company said that number is "miles from where we want to be," and began offering vouchers for free coding lessons to any female interested in learning.
Google's national initiative to close the gender gap in technology has already begun on a local level with the recently launched Girl Develop It Toledo.
Toledo is one of more than 30 locations for its parent organization, Girl Develop It. The international nonprofit aims to provide affordable and accessible programs to women who want to learn software development.
Lindsey Danforth and Angel Thomas, Girl Develop It Toledo co-founders, said the group's emphasis on one-on-one mentorship and hands-on instruction sets it apart from other educational programs.
"Anyone can come — you don't have to know anything about coding," Thomas said. "It's basically instructor-led exercise programs where we explain a concept then walk through the process of doing it. We want to give women in our community an opportunity to learn … and the best way to learn is a very hands-on approach."
In addition, Girl Develop It Toledo provides a comfortable classroom environment where women of all coding skill levels can learn and ask as many questions as they want. Cost for each class varies from free to $50.
"I never felt encouraged to ask questions in school. It wasn't so much the instructors but I felt awkward being usually the only female in my class," Thomas said. "Girl Develop It classes are very inclusive. You can learn at your own pace and there are no stupid questions here."
Class topics range from website building and customization to HTML and CSS for beginners. Interested women should go to meetup.com and search for Girl Develop It Toledo, where they can RSVP for upcoming events, find other "nerdettes" on Facebook and sign up for the Girl Develop It Toledo email list.
"Right now is a good time to be a woman and get into programming — companies like Google are looking for you," Danforth said. "We want to bring more women into the tech world because there's a lot of jobs out there for people who learn even a little bit of programming. We can help build the economy and reduce disparity between men and women."
Girl Develop It Toledo classes have an average attendance of about four students, but could accommodate about 20. Regular attendees said they hope to see a dramatic increase in turnout by the end of the year.
"Just come! Come to the intro classes because they give you such a good foundation. You may not come out as an expert but you'll learn a lot," said Julie Woods, who has attended about a dozen Girl Develop It classes. "It's really learning a new language, almost like Spanish or French. It's really just another form of art. Some people draw or play a musical instrument. I create a website."
All classes are held at Seed Coworking, 25 S. St. Clair St.
The Girl Develop It community also meets outside of the classroom on a monthly basis. "Code and Coffee" is an opportunity for women to network, get programming advice and talk about their tech projects.
"We just want to get the word out about coding," Danforth said. "We're trying to make it less nerdy. That's the whole goal: To learn, have fun and find a way to show that coding is actually cool."

Re: Otto Frank File
Embargoed until: February 14, 2007 at 10 AM EST
By: David Engel
Greenberg Professor of Holocaust Studies
New York University
Understanding the situation of Jews in the Netherlands under Nazi occupation, like understanding any aspect of the Holocaust, requires suspension of hindsight. No one could know in 1933, 1938, or even early 1941 that the Nazi regime would soon embark upon a systematic program aimed at killing each and every Jewish man, woman, and child within its reach. The statement is true of top German officials no less than it is of the Jewish and non-Jewish civilian populations of the twenty countries within the Nazi orbit and of the governments and peoples of the Allied and neutral countries. Although it is tempting to look back upon the history of Nazi anti-Jewish utterances and measures and to detect in them an ostensible inner logic leading inexorably to mass murder, the consensus among historians today is that when the Nazi regime came to power in January 1933 it had no clear idea how the so-called Jewish problem might best be solved. It knew only that, from its perspective, Jews presented a problem that would need to be solved sooner or later, but finding a long-term solution was initially not one of the regime's most immediate priorities. Between 1933-41 various Nazi agencies proposed different schemes for dealing with Jews. At first those schemes concentrated upon removing Jews from positions of influence in public life, isolating them socially, and stripping them of their assets and ability to earn a livelihood. Until 1941, most Nazi leaders appear to have hoped that measures of this sort would induce masses of Jews to leave the territories under German control. It is possible that had such mass emigration proved feasible, Nazi leaders would not have decided upon a campaign to kill all Jews in all areas of Europe. It was not until mid-1941 at the earliest that hopes for mass emigration were scrapped and concrete plans laid for total murder. Actual indiscriminate mass killings of Jews began only in early fall 1941, and not until the end of that year did they extend beyond the territories of the Soviet Union. Killing operations were extended to western Europe only in March 1942 and did not proceed in earnest until the following summer.
That the Nazis eventually despaired of the possibility of mass Jewish emigration did not result from a lack of Jewish desire to leave. On the contrary, out of approximately 525,000 Jews living in Germany at the time of the Nazi accession to power, over 300,000 had departed before the invasion of Poland in September 1939. In Austria, which was annexed to Germany in March 1938, the pace of emigration was even greater _ 140,000 out of 200,000 Jews left the country during the next eighteen months. The problem was that as Germany expanded territorially (adding the Czech lands and Poland in 1939, Denmark, Norway, the Benelux countries, and France in 1940), the number of Jews seeking refuge abroad grew beyond what potential receiving countries believed to be their absorptive capacity. The German occupied areas of Poland alone were home to over two million Jews. The prospect of a refugee flow of such proportions thus prompted most countries to tighten their immigration controls, hoping thereby to deflect the flow elsewhere. Moreover, many refugees from Germany and Austria had fled to European countries that Germany conquered following the outbreak of war. As a result, those countries were abruptly removed as possible destinations. According to the best available estimates, for example, the Netherlands took in close to 34,000 Jews from Germany between 1933-40, or more than 11 percent of the total number of Jews who left Germany during that interval. Over 7,000 more Jews from other Nazi-dominated countries fled there after 1938. Once Germany occupied the Netherlands in May 1940, however, Holland was eliminated as a potential place of refuge. Finally, once war began, the countries fighting the Third Reich, citing security considerations, proved by and large unwilling to accept migrants from enemy-controlled territory. In sum, by 1941 increasingly greater numbers of Jews were facing increasingly smaller emigration possibilities. The mounting disparity between the quantity of Jews to be extruded and the possibilities for extruding them no doubt played a key role in German decisions of August and October 1941 to ban any further Jewish emigration from the territories of the Third Reich. Those decisions signaled the Reich's intention to begin its murder campaign.
Nevertheless, more than half a million Jews left German-controlled territories before the onset of systematic mass killing. The overwhelming majority of them, however, cannot be said to have done so because they anticipated that they and their families would be targeted for death along with all other Jews if they remained under Nazi rule. On the contrary, they could not reasonably have anticipated such a fate, because the Germans themselves did not contemplate it before mid-1941, and once the Germans did so, they did not make Jews privy to their plans. The Jews who left took that action by and large because, after weighing the expected costs and benefits to themselves and their families of staying and leaving, they decided that, in their particular personal situations, emigration made more sense than trying to wait out the Nazi storm. The calculation was not a trivial one. Emigration bore a significant price: emigrants could not expect to be able to transfer their assets abroad; possibilities of making a living in a new location were circumscribed (especially in a world economy still feeling the effects of the Great Depression); family, friends, and home would be left behind; it would be necessary to learn a new language, become familiar with a new environment, and rebuild social networks from the ground up. On the other hand, before the actual onset of mass killing, those who had not run afoul of the regime because of their political activity or other unsuitable public behavior had little evident reason to fear for their lives. They could be certain that they would suffer hardship, but whether such hardship would be less bearable than those associated with emigration depended upon individual circumstances.
All of these considerations are evident in the behavior of the Frank family before it went into hiding in July 1942. German Jews _ Otto Frank was from Frankfurt, where his two children, Margot and Anne, were born; his wife Edith, née Holländer, came from Aachen, near the Belgian border _ the Frank family was among the first to flee Germany following the Nazi takeover; Otto left for Amsterdam in August 1933, with Edith and the children joining him in December. Several factors appear to have influenced both the decision to leave and the choice of destination. The family business, a small private bank, had suffered serious losses following the 1929 stock market crash and had never recovered; by late 1932 the family was unable to pay its rent. Around the same time a business opportunity presented itself in Holland, thanks to Otto's brother-in-law, a director of a company that distributed pectin (a thickening agent used mainly in the production of jams and jellies), who helped him establish a pectin supply firm in Amsterdam. Otto had worked briefly in the Netherlands before and was familiar with the Dutch language. His children were young (Margot was seven years old, Anne four) and not yet closely attached to their surroundings. As a result, the costs of emigration were relatively low compared to the potential benefits. Little provocation was thus needed to induce him to move. According to a postwar testimony, the provocation came when, in accordance with one of the Nazi regime's first anti-Jewish decrees, Margot was forced to sit apart from her first-grade classmates. Nevertheless, it appears that emigration was a step that Otto Frank might well have considered even without this decisive push.
In contrast, seven years later, following the Nazi conquest of the Netherlands, the cost-benefit analysis evidently led to a different operative conclusion. Otto was doing well in the pectin business; his family was living comfortably; and his children had put down roots in their new home. In these respects his experience was rather more favorable than that of most German Jewish refugees in the Netherlands, who often felt alienated from Dutch Jewry even as they depended upon Dutch Jewish organizations for political and material support. Nevertheless, perhaps because of fears for Holland's political future following Germany's remilitarization of the Rheinland in 1936, he appears, beginning in 1937, to have investigated business opportunities in Great Britain and elsewhere. Nothing came of his efforts in this direction, however, so that it was not nearly as easy for him to leave the Netherlands as it had been to leave Germany in 1933 (although by his own account he did file an application to immigrate to the United States in 1938). Moreover, during the first nine months following the Nazi occupation little happened to suggest that Jews in Holland would be subjected to more than minor discrimination. On the contrary, the situation of Dutch Jews (including refugees) appeared far more favorable than that of Jews in other Nazi-occupied countries. There were no immediate bursts of terror and physical violence like the ones that had accompanied the Nazi takeovers in Austria, the Czech lands, and Poland; instead, Jews were pretty much able to go about their business as before. When Otto Frank began to investigate possibilities for emigration to the United States in April 1941, the German administration in the Netherlands had yet to strip Jews of their citizenship, prohibit sexual relations between Jews and non-Jews, restrict the practices of Jewish physicians and lawyers, segregate Jewish schoolchildren, expropriate Jewish property, or mark Jewish passports _ all measures that had long been in effect in Germany proper. In October 1940 an ordinance had been enacted requiring registration of businesses having Jewish owners or directors, but Otto Frank believed that he had found a way to circumvent any possibility that his business would fall into German hands. Measures forbidding Jews to employ non-Jewish domestic servants or to attend cinemas, enacted in January 1941, did not affect the Frank family's daily life in any material way. Raids on Amsterdam's Jewish quarter, initiated in February 1941, were quickly suspended in the wake of vigorous protests from Dutch organized labor; and in any event the Franks did not live in the Jewish quarter and were under no pressure to move there. In other words, in Otto Frank's case neither the push nor the pull factors were as strong in 1940-41 as they had been in 1933. Hence he preferred what seemed to him like the nuisances that encumbered an otherwise comfortable life under Nazi occupation in the Netherlands to the insecurity of life as a double refugee in a new country, even if a new country could be found.
What appears ultimately to have tipped the balance in his case and led him to search actively for a new country was not any change in his assessment of the overall prospects for Jews in the Netherlands but his personal subjection to blackmail by a member of the Dutch National Socialist Movement (NSB), one of two Dutch pro-Nazi political parties. Significantly, the pretext for blackmail did not stem primarily from Otto Frank's Jewishness; it lay rather in a casual remark that Otto had carelessly made to the husband of one of his employees, who turned out to be a Nazi sympathizer: in March 1941 he had expressed doubt in an immediate German victory. The husband had decided to inform the Gestapo of Otto's politically suspect tendencies; the blackmailer, who served the Gestapo as a courier, had intercepted the denunciation letter and decided to turn it to his personal advantage. On 18 April 1941 he made his first demand for payment; on 30 April Otto wrote to Nathan Straus, Jr., asking for assistance in meeting one of the conditions for obtaining a visa to the United States. (The blackmailer was most likely the one who later discovered the Franks' hiding place and betrayed its location to the German authorities.)
There is thus little point in asking why Otto Frank did not wake up to the mortal danger facing his family sooner than he did; neither he nor anyone else could reasonably have predicted what would befall Jews in the Netherlands beginning in 1942. His actions become intelligible only when viewed within the context of his individual experience, without benefit of hindsight.

Light From The Lake
Five Graduates Who Can't Miss
In his first season at Our Lady of the Lake University, Smith made a shot for the ages: a three-pointer at the buzzer to upset the No. 1 NAIA team in the nation, LSU-Shreveport, 94-91.
In his final semester at OLLU, Smith played ball full-time and went to school overtime. While many OLLU students took four classes in the spring, Smith took nine, tackling statistics, finance, physical science and management, among others, and passed each one.
Why the crushing load? Smith wanted to graduate Saturday at Freeman Coliseum. "I'm not going to lie to you," Smith says of his 25-hour course load. "It wasn't easy."[Read More]

Winter weather has hit Pushmataha County quicker than expected. Reports have came in that vehicles have already started to lose control on the highways and one has already flipped, trapping the driver.
Do NOT get out on the roads if it is not 100% necessary! Stay home and stay safe. The weather is supposed to continue to get worse as the day gives way to night and more rain and sleet comes our way.
PSO is well along in its preparations for responding to the developing winter storm that has hit our area. Pushmataha County is located in the area that has the greatest potential for disruption in electric service due to ice on lines.
Please remain safe, bring outside animals inside. If you are cold they are as well.

Age: The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) states that if exposure to the sun is unavoidable and your baby is under 6 months, a non-chemical sunscreen (like ours) should be used; consult with your physician. The AAP recommends that because an infant's skin is very thin and sensitive, infants under 6 months should be kept out of the sun.
Scent:No fragrance or scent masking agents.
For Use: Face and body. Does not sting the eyes! For year-round use.
SPF Protection Level: Provides moderate-level protection against sunburn.
Water Resistant: Retains effectiveness after 40 minutes of activity in water or perspiring.
"Whether you have sensitive skin or just like your UV protection without scent, our all-star SPF 18 has got you covered. It's ultra-light and sheer, making it ideal for use on the face and can easily double as a morning moisturizer. Packaged with a convenient pump that locks for safe travel— it's perfectly portable! Formulated without PABA or invasive chemicals, our silky SPF18 moisturizing lotion is simple and elegant utilizing a micronized titanium dioxide. It sits on top of the skin scattering and reflecting dangerous UVA-UVB rays, providing broad-spectrum protection. Non-staining."
For Grownups:
- Double duty as a light moisturizer.
- Works great under make-up; our non-greasy, sheer finish helps "brighten" the skin!
- Perfect protection on overcast days.
- Don't forget that when traveling in a car you are exposed to UV rays.
Tip: Wearing a hat and sunglasses is an important part of sun safety.
Winter use: Since studies show that the risk of sunburn increases at higher altitudes, it's especially important to wear sunscreen on the slopes. Even if you stay at the same elevation all winter long, don't let winter's chill fool you, the sun is still strong and can do lots of damage to your skin. The gentle water resistant formula won't drip into your eyes and sting when you sweat. Clouded vision from runny sunscreen is annoying on the beach and on the ski slopes it can be downright dangerous. Our moisturizing sunscreen helps keep skin from chapping from exposure to the elements.

Local software firm receives venture capital investmentWritten by Duane Ramsey | | firstname.lastname@example.com
Image Integration Systems (IIS) of Perrysburg is entering a growth phase in its business and recently received a significant investment in capital from Plymouth Venture Partners to finance that planned growth.
IIS specializes in the automation of accounts payable processes and document management software solutions. It offers a suite of content and workflow software, DocuSphere, an accounts payable system with all associated consultation, installation, implementation, training and support, according to IIS President Brad White.
The firm's primary business is automating accounts payable for JD Edwards software package users, generally large corporations with $500 million in sales and up, White said.
It serves customers around the world, including Border's Books, Macy's, Marathon Oil, Royal Dutch Shell Oil, the Shaw Group and Turner Industries.
"We have one of the best solutions for JD Edwards," with about 6 to 8 percent of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software but wanted to move into Oracle and SAP that represent 60 to 70 percent of the ERP marketplace, White said.
DocuSphere can reduce the manual system for processing invoices in 14 to 15 days to three days and the cost to process invoices from $15 to $3 per invoice, he said.
IIS needed capital to help it expand and "serve a tenfold increase in the size of the playground we work in," White said.
"There's a real need for capital in this region and we're right for this size market," said Mark Horne, CEO and managing partner of Plymouth Management Company with investor Bob Savage of Toledo, Jeff Barry and Ann Arbor's Ian Bund, chairman and founder.
Plymouth Venture Partners is actively looking to make about 18 investments of $1 million to $3 million in growth stage companies primarily in Ohio and Michigan with established revenues between $3 million and $7 million, according to Horne.
IIS generated revenues of about $3 million last year, providing accounts payable solutions for 70 percent of its customers that receive a return-on-investment as fast as six months with its application. The firm expects to double that revenue in the next year, White said.
"It's really great having these guys in our backyard. There is a considerable amount of value they bring to the table. I don't have experience in building a plan or growing a company while they have a super track record," White said.
After making 29 investments with Fund I, the venture capital firm has raised nearly $30 million in capital for Fund II, the only new fund in Michigan, according to Horne.
"The benefit of a strong record with Fund I has allowed us to raise additional capital for Fund II," said Horne, who works out of offices in Ann Arbor and Toledo.
Savage was involved in seven of the 29 investments with Fund I and joined the firm last year. He continues to manage investments by his firm, Savage Consulting, and Rocket Ventures of the Regional Growth Partnership.
As part of the investment in IIS, Savage has a seat on its board of directors and Horne serves as an observing member of the board.
"We always take a board seat with our investments and try to have two partners actively involved with the companies we invest in," Horne said.
"A month into the investment, the company is already ahead of plan by hiring five new people this year," Savage said.
IIS hired two sales executives, a business analyst, development manager, and lead quality assurance person. It could be adding several more new hires in the near future, White said.
Two objectives of the plan were adding sales resources and expanding product into the Oracle and SAP markets, Horne said.
Image Integration Systems is a privately owned C-corporation with four shareholders, including Plymouth Venture Partners as one shareholder. It has operated in the Toledo area since 1993 and from its current location in Perrysburg since 1999.
The original founders of IIS worked for Software Alternatives, which went out of business in 1993. IIS rose out of the ashes of that company upon recommendation by JD Edwards, which used the original system developed by Software Alternatives.
IIS started with six people and has experienced slow controlled growth, moving from a reseller of software to a developer of it, White said.
The company has 18 employees with 10 directly involved in the software process. One programmer telecommutes from Colorado while a project leader living in Maryland travels around the world, working with clients Monday through Friday.
"Our transactional processing is different than others. It's not an accounts payable program that drives the system. We let the business process drive what happens," White said.
