Giving to LSCS
The Lone Star College Foundation's mission is to change lives through student scholarships and quality educational programs achieved by excellence in relationship building, fundraising, and investment management.
Established as a 501(c)(3) Type I corporation, the LSC Foundation secures and manages unrestricted and restricted assets to support and enrich the academic and scholarship programs of LSCS.
Party with a Purpose Supports StarGala 2015
Lone Star College Dental Hygiene professor and StarGala Committee member Diane Wilson, along with her husband, LSC Foundation Board member Danny Wilson, and co-host Robin Stout, hosted one of the popular Party with a Purpose events at Wilson's home in Kingwood on the evening of March 19, 2015. The purpose of these parties is for the host to gather their own friends, family and colleagues for an evening of discovery and support of Lone Star College, as well as to collect auction items for the upcoming StarGala donated by each guest. The theme for the Wilson's party was gourmet cooking, and many exciting kitchen gadgets were collected to be included in the silent auction, including fashionable aprons, serving dishes, knife sets, wine, a food processor, pizza stones, baking supplies, and more. "Mad Men" is the theme for this year's event, and the theme will truly be a celebration of being "mad about scholarships," as all net proceeds will support the Foundation's efforts of awarding scholarships to high-achieving and deserving Lone Star College students. For more information on the StarGala, contact Judy Lux, Director of Special Events, at firstname.lastname@example.com.

This 1965 Mercury Marauder is a clean example of a long 2-door hardtop we rarely find on offer. The seller says it is a no-rust western car, and it is powered by a 390 with an automatic. Find it here on Hemmings in West Hartford, Connecticut for $13,900 OBO.
I have a 65 mercury marauder 2 door 4 speed from the factory, that being said… My question is is it standard that this model came with a double checkerd flag emblem on the rear post?
I only ask because in all the pictures I have seen I have only seen a single checkerd flag.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
My son and I are building his 64 Maurader. He wants it all stock looking. Gonna do suspension, dics brakes and hydro boost. Motor conversion with an 05 modular 4.6 litre motor with a tremec 5 speed. Rear gears will be 3.55. Promises to be a sleeper……
Just discovered this thread. I have a 66 black parklane fastback. I have been performing many of the suggestions in these comments. Motor freshened, Front disk brake conversion, aftermarket swaybars. New AOD with FE bellhousing bought on Ebay, to be installed, Lokar shifter. This car is built like my Cadillac, has an amazing presence- everybody loves it- men, women, kids. The size, swoopiness, chrome, the sound- truly awesome.
I learned how drive in a white four door '65 Merc Park Lane 390 4BBL. The toughest part of the test was parallel parking that 20ft behemoth. I must admit given the size of that car it had very respectable accelleration and it did great burnouts. That Merc had a beautiful interior with more interior and accent lighting than you could count.
Agree with all of the above — a lot of car for the money.
Discs, and better steering would top my do-list, pretty sure FoMoCo bought it from GM, or contemplated it. Radials, obviously and the aftermarket sway bars.
There are a couple of good OD trans swaps for an FE in a full size, would not hazard a guess at which is best.
It looks good to me but the Olds at only $1100 more looks like a better value and much better visually – at least to me.
One step away from the personal luxury cars that were soon to come.
By the way BaT, for some reason I can now give 'thumbs up' to only some of the comments. When did that change happen and why?
Given the increase in values of late 60's muscle cars over the last few years, I expect the early to mid-60's cars to soar in pricing. For some reason I find the early nostalgia dragsters and cool cruisers like this one just as cool (if not cooler) than the 'mainstream' muscle machines of later years. I'd love me some '65 Olds 88 with some 425 cubes thrown in for a good measure. Oh, and with Astro Supremes, too.
Did you mean to enter this number as a bid? If so please use the bidding box above.

A piece on sfgate offers a telling glimpse of Clinton rage. Last weekend, Bill Clinton flew in from Chicago to California and schmoozed with superdelegates at a state convention. Mingling with the party elite, he was all grins and eye-bags until someone mentioned Hillary defector Bill Richardson:
Rachel Binah, a former Richardson delegate who now supports Hillary Clinton, told Bill how "sorry" she was to have heard former Clinton campaign manager James Carville call Richardson a "Judas" for backing Obama.
It was as if someone pulled the pin from a grenade.
"Five times to my face (Richardson) said that he would never do that," a red-faced, finger-pointing Clinton erupted.
The former president then went on a tirade that ran from the media's unfair treatment of Hillary to questions about the fairness of the votes in state caucuses that voted for Obama. It ended with him asking delegates to imagine what the reaction would be if Obama was trailing by just 1 percent and people were telling him to drop out.
Let's be honest: if Obama was conclusively behind delegate-wise and in the popular vote (as Hillary is) the only question the media would be asking him is, "to what do you attribute your loss?" Yes, Obama has received a big fat pass from the press and they softball him at every turn. But the ongoing assumption that Hillary has some legitimate claim to her continued fight is sustained by little more than the Clinton phenomenon itself. And Bill and Hillary are only called out when their antics go so far beyond the pale as to slip into tabloid-land. Speaking of, here's more from Bill's blow-up.
It was very, very intense," said one attendee. "Not at all like the Bill of earlier campaigns."
When he finally wound down, Bill was asked what message he wanted the delegates to take away from the meeting.
At that point, a much calmer Clinton outlined his message of party unity.
"It was kind of strange later when he took the stage and told everyone to 'chill out,' " one delegate told us.
"We couldn't help but think he was also talking to himself."
Isn't he always. It's called solipsism. The Clintons function in a world of their own. It's what enables Bill to explode and then urge people to "chill out." It's what allows Hillary to recall a routine helicopter landing as a scene from Rambo. It's what drives them to treat the desperately-needed superdelegates with the same contempt to which they subjected the regular Democratic electorate. With trademark class, Bill had someone else call Ms. Binah later in the day and apologize for him.

Padbrook Park
PADBROOK Park's advanced professional Stuart Disney is leading the Devon PGA order of merit after picking up two wins recently.
He won a Devon Winter Series competition at Torquay before taking eighth spot in the next event at East Devon.
He then took a three-shot win after firing a four-under-par 67 on Saunton's west course.
Disney said: "I've been practising hard on my game lately and it has started to pay dividends in my results.
"My score at Saunton would have been even better but for a dropped shot on the last."
There was a big turnout as Padbrook Park's new captains drove in.
An 18-hole team event was played after 2012 captain Chris Manley completed the ceremonial putt out.
New captain Phil Moore took to the tee and was joined by junior captain Max Rawlings and senior captain Rod Elston.
The competition, which was staged as a shotgun start, was won by Dean Silversides, new vice-captain Rod Hutchings, Chris Senik and Duncan Stamp.
They scored 128 points in the stableford event, where the best three scores counted on each hole. They finished five points clear of their nearest challengers.
Results: 1 D Silversides, C Senik, R Hutchings, D Stamp 128, 2 A Pym, D Clow, D Clow, A Robarts and S Held, A Held, K Holway, P Waters 123, 4 J Locke, C Fisher, A Rooker, B Colbourne 119, 5 K Taylor, R Broomfield, J Reed, P Reed 118, 6 K Radbourne, C Edwards, T Evans, P Knight 116
Martin Selby launched his tenure as captain on New Year's Day, taking over from Peter Garnsworthy.
He started his year in office with the traditional captains' drive-in from the 10th tee alongside the three other new skippers for 2013 – Anto Hajduk (ladies), John Woods (veterans) and Nixie Acfield (juniors).
Mike Holder and Mark Sangster won the cross-country challenge on New Year's Day with a nett 29.75 over the eight-hole, par-32 layout.
Peter Boax and John Sampson (30) and Tony and Karen Allsopp (30.5) completed the top three.
Selby started his year of captaincy in style by winning the four-man team event with Charlie Durnan, Ray Pratt and Tony Allsopp on Saturday.
The quartet racked up 88 stableford points to push Gary Taylor, Cameron Bundy, Les Christiansen and Mark Davitt (86) into second place.
Pete Guest, Heath Ellis, Mark Sangster and John Stuckey finished third with 83.
Last year's lady captain Charlotte Snow won the three clubs and a putter competition on Wednesday.
The 17-handicapper carded 20 stableford points over 11 holes to finish four ahead of Caroline Anderson in division one.
Mollie Pilling scored 18 to claim the division two prize by one shot from fellow youngster Hannah Carthew.
Bob Underwood marked his first competition as senior captain with the best score of the day and, under the winter handicap rules, was shown a red card so must play the rest of the winter season with a handicap reduction of two.
The first division was won by Ron Graham with 37 points, with Malcolm Matthews beating Dave Maggs on a countback to second.
Underwood won division two, beating Steve Blundell, Norrie Fleet, Ron Rogers and Phil Faulkner. Ron Cooper scored the only two and won 36 balls to share with his partners, while Malcolm Matthews holed a 130-yard approach shot.
teign valley
New Year's Day saw Dave Stevens, Dougie Porter and Maggie Thomson take the mixed threeball team stableford with 75 points. Tony Martin was the only one to score a two.
The captains' drive-in took place on Saturday, with the outgoing captains putting out and the new captains (men's, ladies', Teignagers' and juniors') driving off at the head of the field for a fourball team stableford with three scores to count.
Chris Pugh, Richard Aggett, Martin Harris and Chris Davey started their year off well with an amazing 128 points.
Paul Ayris and Kerry Skinner won division one in the fourball better ball stableford competition with 49 points, two ahead of David Chammings and Peter Kiss, who beat Rod Milsom-Smith and Colin Beardwell on the back nine.
Division two winners were Ron Copeland and Graham Harding 47), ahead of Rod Jones and Mike Charlesworth (44) and Barry Ratcliffe and Will Kinkead (43 ).

I purchased two of these bras when I was nursing my first son in June 2009. They were so comfortable that I continued to wear them during the 14 months I nursed him and beyond. When I had my second son in July 2011, I contacted my hospital's lactation services office (where I purchased my first bras) only to find that they no longer sold the Bravado Body Silk Seamless Nursing Bra. I was happy to find that Figure 8 Maternity sold the bras online and had a variety of colors/sizes available (I bought 3 more... black, pink and blue ice). This bra is extremely comfortable, the clasps that allow for nursing are simple and very sturdy, the stitching is very durable and the bra itself is simple yet pretty. I also like that there's no under-wire (I'm normally a D cup, so I usually NEED under-wire, but not with this bra-it holds very well). I hope that the Bravado Body Silk Seamless Nursing Bra continues to be produced and sold as many nursing moms can get a lot of good, comfortable use from it!
Reviewed by J. L. (Leesburg, VA), Nursing a 1-month-old
I really like this Bra. I initially ordered the Cake Cotton Candy nursing bra, but it was not a good fit for me at all. The Cake bra felt like a large sports bra (I am on the smaller side even approaching 9 mo. pregnant), you even needed to slip it over your head which is a bit cumbersome when dealing with sore breasts. The Bravado was so much more comfortable for me. There was adequate coverage, but it still gave me some shape and the ability to wear t-shirt tops and the like. The cups unclip and fold down easily. I have tried a lot of nursing bras because I wanted something that was functional but didn't make me feel completely frumpy. I like this bra so much more than expected and have ordered more colors.
Reviewed by S. H. (Dallas, TX), 8 + months pregnant
Best bra around. I have tried other nursing bras, and they have proven to be not worth the time/discomfort of ever taking this bra off. I have been wearing this bra pretty much exclusively for the past six months, and the adjustable sizing means that even as my breasts have changed with the roller coaster that is breastfeeding, it still fits! Super comfortable, doesn't show through fitted shirts, and really well made (I have thrown this into the washing machine instead of hand washing and it is still in good shape). This is the only nursing bra you will need!
Reviewed by J. I. (Redondo Beach, CA), nursing 6 month old
It is comfortable and well made. However, the removable pads are strange. Mine came with creases already and were very visible from the outside of the bra. They did look okay under clothing and hide nursing pads well, but like others mentioned, they are hard to fold down while nursing. Maybe they would be less noticeable if I had a larger chest (b cup on a good day- I got a size small) to fill out the bra better. I kept it because it hides nursing pads well and gives me a nice shape under clothes, but I was expecting more.
Reviewed by a. h. (Windham, NH)
When initially measured for a nursing bra, I was a 34DD. The Medium fits great. There is a little spillover when I am at my fullest, but not so much that I need to go to the Large. This bra is incredibly comfortable and surprisingly supportive. The back hook closure and lack of under wire really do make it easy to adjust with fluctuating breast size. Definitely easy to open and close one handed! Would probably work well when purchased late in the last trimester.
Reviewed by S. M. (Marietta, GA), Nursing a 3 month old
These are very well constructed nursing bra's. The clip fastener won't break off after multiple attempts to unbuckle to feed your little one like less expensive bra's. They come with a high quality nursing pad inserts which is a bonus. I would recommend hand washing in the sink to avoid pilling of the material. Sizing can be tricky if your milk hasn't come in yet, I recommend buying two sizes to get the correct fit and then returning the other.
Reviewed by K. T. (Pendleton, OR), Nursing a newborn
Extremely comfortable! Which isn't easy to come by in a nursing bra that still gives you a good shape under tshirts. The shape it provides is great, of course that is accomplished with removable pads--which can be so aggravating at times, especially after a wash. Luckily, the access holes to adjust the pads are larger than most, so fixing them after a wash is easier than with most bras or swimsuits with the same type pad.
Reviewed by C. S. (Morgantown, WV)
Very comfortable bra, sizing works well for me (I am a 36D). The drawback is the removable foam cups which are too small for a D-cup. They end up looking like nursing pads so often do... irregular lumps on the end of my breasts. The pads also bunch up inside the bra every time I pull the cup down to nurse. Without the pads this is a comfortable and decent-looking bra. I wish it had non-removable foam cups in my cup size.
Reviewed by Y. O. (Portland, OR), nursing a newborn
- Are the straps on the Bravado Body Silk nursing bra adjustable in length?
Yes, the bra straps of the Bravado body silk nursing bra are adjustable.
- Are these bras pretty true to size?
Generally, yes. Please use the sizing chart to determine your bra size.
- I need a soft smooth band around my rib cage because of sensitivity, is this one smooth and soft?
The Bravado Body Silk Seamless nursing bra has a ribbed band and is not smooth.
- Are the straps adjustable?
Yes, the straps are adjustable.

It all began with a leopard-print bra and 2 moms...
That first leopard-print bra was worn for 48 hours straight, and is now called the Original Nursing Bra - still our best-seller, over 15 years later! From those small beginnings with an idea around a kitchen table, Bravado quickly built a strong reputation as having comfortable, stylish, and quality nursing bras. Lactation Consultants, Midwives, Childbirth Educators and others in the healthcare community quickly started recommending our products to their moms, and still do to this day. Now, Bravado Designs' products are worn and loved my moms worldwide, including celebrity moms like Angelina Jolie, Sarah Jessica Parker, Jennifer Garner and Jessica Alba. Although many things have changed since our beginnings all those years ago, one thing never will: our commitment to bolster and enhance the self-esteem of pregnant and nursing moms.

Last week, Cissy Houston and other trustees of Whitney Houston's estate filed a petition to change the structure of payments made to her soul heir, daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown. The document, obtained by Radar yesterday, seeks to make changes that would protect the 19-year-old from "undue influence."
"Respondent has been the subject of significant media attention before, and especially after, the Testatrix's death," the papers read. "Respondent is a highly visible target for those who would exert undue influence over her inheritance and/or seek to benefit from Respondent's resources and celebrity."
So, what exactly are Bobbi Kristina's family members afraid of? Could it be they're taking their rumored disapproval of Nick Gordon, her boyfriend/"adopted brother"? The two did get into a car wreck together last week, just days after Nick tweeted a photo of himself driving with a gun in his hand. And then there's dad, Bobby Brown, who recently checked into rehab for alcohol. But neither of those things seem to indicate they're after Bobbi Kristina's money. Maybe this is just a precautionary measure? Or — forgive our cynicism — a bit of drama stirred up for the sake of their Lifetime show, The Houston Family Chronicles? No, no one would go that far.

National Science and Engineering Week 2010
Around 275 pupils from local schools took part in a wide range of activities offered by Lancaster University's Science and Technology departments as part of National Science and Engineering Week 2010.
The week began with a session all about maths and magic where pupils were shown how probability and maths shaped the world of magic tricks. The presenter, Adam Boddison (Further Maths Network), even managed to predict the lottery numbers!
A Biology session, Have you ever wondered what is in blood?, gave pupils the opportunity to find out about the different kinds of cells in sheep blood and what they do. Attendees investigated the structure of the heart and saw some abnormal blood smears which could be interpreted by hospital scientists to diagnose disease.
An emergency response activity from LEC set pupils the challenge of dealing with an oil tanker fire in the local area. As the students mobilised to calculate weather conditions, potential road cordons and the chemical composition of the spillage, the clock was ticking.
With communication via walkie talkies and written emails the Silver Control team were able to control the situation and ensure the public were made aware of the incident and potential threat. The pupils involved rose to the challenge to avert the danger and enjoyed a fun-packed session that demonstrated real life issues.
Three schools took part in this year's Rocket Challenge day (Engineering and Physics) with a team representing Kirkbie Kendal School finishing the day as winners. In windy conditions their rocket flew well over the 50m mark and after scoring well in a dragons den style interview and on their design, they were well deserved winners.
On Thursday pupils from Lancaster Girls Grammar school had the opportunity to find out about new technologies and novel mobile phone games when spending the day with Computing and Communication Systems. The students took part in a digital treasure hunt using GPS signals to locate the various clues and were able to see the latest research including a multi touch interactive table.
The final offering of the week saw students from Carnforth High school learning all about Psychology. They had the chance to talk to University researchers and looked at the scientific study of the mind, brain and behaviour in small groups.
Electric Earth Lecture
Following on from a successful debut at the Big Bang Festival, Dr Jim Wild presented his Electric Earth lecture to around 150 pupils on Friday afternoon. Through a series of demonstrations and examples Jim showed the students that the earth is alive with electricity; from the Northern lights to a glowing gherkin!
The lecture was filmed - click on the movie below to watch it.
Huge thanks go to all the schools and staff who were involved in the week.

Letters to Mike Bell, Part 2Written by Brandi Barhite | Community Ombudsman | firstname.lastname@example.com
Toledo needs jobs
Dear Mayor Bell,
I am writing this because I have few concerns that you should be aware of that are affecting me, my friends, family and community. My suggestion would be more jobs for teens, more shopping malls that are closer, better roads, free garbage pickup and raising taxes on cigarettes and alcohol.
The first issue that I want to talk about is more jobs for teens. I feel that this is an important issue because having more jobs for teens will keep young people today out of trouble, and teenagers wouldn't have to do illegal things to make money. Also, I feel that there should be more jobs for teens because personally, I'm 15, going on 16 as a junior in high school and I feel there should be a job available for me so I can start my future early.
Second, my next concern is more shopping malls that are closer to Lucas County. Reason being, is that more people would actually be able to attend the movies or shop for clothes once those jobs are available and you wouldn't have to worry about having a way home from a far distance, just because the mall would be so close. Another reason would be that when we had Southwyck Mall or even North Towne Square Mall, more people were drawn into Toledo, even tourists. So I believe with these changes, Toledo will have a better name and would be a better place. This will also help the economy because that's more people spending money.
Last, but not least, I think the city should provide us with better roads. I believe this is a factor because we need to make the city of Toledo look much nicer. Also, with better roads, the citizens of Toledo wouldn't have to worry about needing car repairs from the bumpy roads messing up their tires. Another issue is the community paying for garbage pickup. This is causing more economical problems for Americans because our community is suffering with the loss of jobs and this is just adding another burden to the community with extra money to pay out. My opinion would be to raise the price of cigarettes and alcohol to help with the city budget.

Bad neighborhoods
Dear Mayor Bell,
Toledo has many residents and some who are having a hard time looking for homes, jobs and good neighborhoods. I want to talk about jobs first. Many Toledo residents are losing their jobs and losing their jobs means losing their homes. This hurts the residents of Toledo and tells them Toledo is the worst place to live in.
Here I want to tell you about homes. There are many houses for Toledo residents to raise a family in, but again there are many houses that are torn down. Homes are being trashed and broken into.
Last are neighborhoods that are an influence in Toledo. Bad neighborhoods are causing people to move out, and these neighborhoods are making chaos in our city. The way to reduce these problems is to clean the streets and build new homes. Build more parks and public libraries in these areas.
Helping reduce these problems in the city of Toledo would increase the chance of Toledo being the best city to live in. And more people will think positive of Toledo. Thank you Mr. Bell for your time and hopefully Toledo becomes a better city to live in.

Start with education
Dear Mayor Bell,
I am writing this letter because I believe that the economy has an effect on young teens, as well as education.
There are some issues I would like to address starting with education. The reason I think education should be addressed is because it's the most important priority in life. Without an education, there are fewer opportunities to succeed. I think that there should be a wider variety of choices, such as more elective classes. I also feel there should be more educational programs available. The second issue I would like to talk about is making more programs for troubled teens. If there were more programs for teens, it would keep most of them out of jail and out of trouble. I also think that the programs would decrease violence if kids were in programs instead of being in the streets. I also feel that both of these issues would benefit society in a positive way, by putting a decrease to crimes and more education to keep students positive.
I feel that if these two issues were addressed, it would make a big difference in society. I would also appreciate it if you looked into these issues. I know there is much more to address, but these two issues are and could be a start for change.

Gangs are the problem
Dear Mayor Bell,
My name is Suzanne Hudson and I am a senior at Woodward High School. I am writing this letter to inform you about the problems going on in my community. There are a lot of problems, but there are two that concern me the most: The job opportunities and the gang violence around my neighborhood.
The job options around here are very limited. Adults and teens are struggling to make a living because they cannot find a job to help provide things they need to help themselves and their family.
More and more people are getting laid off or fired and it is not fair to them that they have to suffer because the company they worked for is doing badly.
As far as the gang violence, everybody who cares about our city is concerned about it. Almost every day you hear about somebody getting killed because of gang wars. I personally think it is stupid to fight or kill someone over a color or where you live, but everybody doesn't think the same way as I do. I really don't know what could prevent gang banging. I still believe that it is a serious issue that needs to be addressed.
I believe you will look into these issues and I want to thank you for taking the time to hear problems going on in my community.
There are plenty more problems going on and I'm sure you will be informed about them, but as of right now, in my eyes, these are the issues I'm most concerned about.
Thank you.
Suzanne Hudson, senior
Hire police, fix streets
Dear Mayor Bell,
Some concerns I have for you as the new mayor is to hire more police, fix the streets, add more stop signs and hire people to be crossing guards.
Your first priority should be to hire new police officers and put the old ones back to work. The police should arrest the people who make the wrong choices and get them off the street because they can hurt innocent people. They kill people, kidnap kids, steal money, use drugs, drink, etc. It will help the crime rate if you could get the people who are hurting innocent human beings off the street.
The second issue is the potholes and bumps in our streets. When people drive their cars over the potholes and big bumps, they are ruining their cars and I don't think that is what you would want to happen to the people of this city that you care about so much. If it will help, you could get the high school students at my school who drive to sign a petition.
Third, as mayor you should add more signs and speed limit signs. It will cut down on the accidents. I don't think it will eliminate all accidents, but it will slim down the changes of accidents happening. People who are just learning to drive depend on stop signs. I know you want us who are learning to drive to be safe when we are on the road.
Finally, as the new mayor, you could hire more crossing guards so that kids will start to cross the street at the corners. If you hire new crossing guards to help kids safely cross the busy streets, we can concentrate on our education.
Thank you for taking the time to read my letter.
Congratulations on becoming the new mayor. I hope that you will do a great job as mayor.
Sabrina Johnson, freshman
New resident concerned
Dear Mayor Bell,
Congratulations on being elected the next mayor of Toledo. As a new resident of Toledo, I have noticed numerous things that I am concerned about. My first concern is gang violence. My second concern is that there are not enough jobs for teens. My third concern is that we need to modernize the city.
The reason that I am concerned about gang violence is because the death rate is getting higher. Gang violence is tearing the community apart and making Toledo a bad place to live.
Another big concern I have is that there are not enough teen jobs, which means that teens don't have enough money. That causes teens to commit crimes like stealing. I feel that all of the jobs that teens should fill are being taken by adults.
We also need to modernize our city. For example, our houses are unsafe in many ways. If they were modernized, they would look better and be safer. There are a lot of new, safe ways to lay pipes in our homes and to wire them.
I am glad that you won the election. It is a great honor to know that you graduated from Woodward. I believe that it shows the students here that they can do whatever they set their minds to do no matter where they come from. I hope that you take my concerns into consideration.
Best wishes.
Paris Jenkins, sophomore
Get rid of OGT tests
Dear Mayor Bell,
I am writing this letter to you because I do not think the Ohio Graduation Test (OGT) is fair to every student. The test is not only hard, but it's holding a lot of seniors back from graduation.
I'm a senior myself and I'm struggling to pass the science part of the OGT, so are many more seniors.
Why should there be a test that determines if we graduate or not? Tests are not for everyone. Tests make people nervous.
Some ideas that I have for this problem are just to simply take the OGT away or make a less difficult test. We students will still have to take our required classes and graduate with 21 credits. I don't think we seniors should have to take a test to get a diploma. There are people who want to do things with their lives and want to do things to further their education, but can't because they didn't pass the OGT.
If you decide to take this test away, you will have so many more graduates coming from the Toledo area.
I want to thank you for taking the time to read this letter.

Toledo could use free health clinic
Dear Mayor Bell,
I am so happy that you are our mayor. I am 15 years old and happy to be on the honor roll. I am not in any sports or clubs in school, but I still have Woodward pride. The thing that I like about Woodward is that we have programs to help us go to college like Gear Up and Adelante. They give us so much support and invest money in the school. There are also some teachers who stay after school and give us tutoring. I was thinking about these programs we have at Woodward. Maybe you can have programs all around Toledo to help others kids who attend school. I have noticed that there are programs already like Boys & Girls Club and YMCA, and I think that's a start. You can also provide more afterschool tutoring to all the schools.
The work economy in Toledo is pretty low and I think bringing a casino will just make it worse. The reason being that gambling is another addiction. With all the problems with drugs on the streets and people having to work outside of Toledo, it's just bringing more bad influence to this one great city.
For the health problem in Toledo, I think that it is a good idea to bring a free clinic. For example, Temperance, Mich., has a family medical center, which provides families with low income with a wonderful sliding fee. I think this would be a great help for the high rate of teen pregnancy, because I see a lot of my friends who are pregnant who struggle, so don't think I am pregnant.
Thank you for taking your time to read this letter.
Elia Jimenez, sophomore
Toledo has potential
Dear Mayor Bell,
I am writing you because there are a few things I believe need to be changed for this economy to have the potential it could be capable of having with a little bit of your help.
I believe that if we can get some better and cheaper schooling, then more people will be qualified for jobs. By getting jobs, the economy can progress and run more efficiently. Once we have our economy running smoothly, we can have more money, which we can use to build new houses, schools and buildings to make our environment look more welcoming, and also keep the Toledoans, whom we do have, here.
I also feel that once we accomplish all of these things that there will be more excitement in our environment and less violence and crimes.
In conclusion, I believe that Toledo has a high potential and can be a better city than what we make of it today with a little bit of help from you.
I know that we can make a change in how people look at and think of Toledo.
Thank you very much for taking your time to read this letter and I hope it might be some help to you.
P.S. — Congratulations on becoming mayor!

Please address transfer fees
Dear Mayor Bell,
I have lived in Toledo my whole life and things have gotten bad. There are a lot of things wrong with Toledo. Some people think that you should bring more jobs to Toledo and provide children with a better education. That may be true, but there are also other issues that I feel need to be addressed.
When you start your term as mayor, I believe that you should do something about the roads and sidewalks. Many roads have potholes, some of the potholes may be small, but they can get bigger, and the bigger they are, the more dangerous they become. They do not only cause flat tires, but they can also cause serious car accidents.
I also think that the sidewalks should stop being torn up and redone when they do need to be redone. It is a waste of money that could be put to better use like providing equipment for school gyms and books for classes.
Another problem is bus transportation and transfer fees. I do not think they should cut back on certain bus hours or stop some buses completely from running their routes. What are kids suppose to do if they have to catch the bus in the morning for school or after school to get home?
Lastly, I believe that you should do something about the transfer fees. The transfer fee goes up almost every year and it is getting harder for people to transfer to another bus when they only have enough money to get on one bus. Some people do not have enough money to transfer to another bus. So, then how will they get where they need to be?
Mr. Bell, I am very happy that you will be mayor —finally, something good can happen for Toledo. I cannot wait to see what changes you will bring to Toledo.
I know that there are much bigger concerns, but these are the small concerns that will change Toledo.
Rashunn Waites, senior
What are you going to do for us?
Dear Mayor Bell,
My name is Jessica Hammer. I am a freshman at Woodward High School. I am so happy to be writing this letter to you today. It is amazing that the mayor of Toledo graduated from here. I am writing to ask you what you are going to do for our community.
I believe that you would make our community and Woodward a better place. I think you should hold a community cleanup once in awhile to make our place not as dirty as it is. I think you should help out a lot more with the Cherry Street Mission. I think you should help out with our jobs because a lot of people need these jobs to help take care of their families. I truly believe that you will make a better mayor than all these other mayors that didn't help out with any of these things that I just listed.
Jessica Hammer, freshman
You will be the best mayor ever
Dear Mayor Bell,
Police cuts are the biggest problem. With less police on the streets, more of us are at risk for being part of a crime. Every other day, I hear about either a serious crime or a minor crime. Community build-up is the next issue because of all the harm that comes from the community being the way that it is. The potholes in the streets are dangerous to the cars we drive. They cause us to have to swerve to avoid hitting them and it makes it more likely that we could get into an accident.
Mr. Bell, I am looking forward to having you as our new mayor. I think that you will be the best mayor Toledo has ever had. Please take into consideration my concerns. It will help make Toledo a better place to live.
Hayley A. Crapsey, senior
Don't let officers break the rules
Dear Mayor Bell,
Congratulations on becoming the new mayor of Toledo. My granny, Joan Rowe, told me a lot of things about you when you were the fire chief for Toledo. You attended one of her block watch meetings. I think you are the right choice for the job because you are familiar with the city and a real hero in Toledo. Also, because you are a former Woodward High School student, you are a great role model. You are showing us that even though we live in a bad neighborhood, we can be successful and make a difference in the world.
In the neighborhoods near Woodward, there are many problems, including robberies, shootings and stabbings. We need more police officers on our street and in the schools. We also need more weapon searches.
You also need to keep an eye on the city workers because in two months, three or four police officers have been caught drinking while on duty. They tell us to stay out of trouble, yet they are not good role models. As teens, we need role models that show us how to be good citizens. These cops are basically telling us that we can do what we want.
The most important thing you need to look at is jobs. We need more jobs in Toledo. People without jobs have no house no money, no food and no health insurance. With all of the new diseases going around, it is dangerous not having those things. I know we are having an economic crisis, but maybe we can save lives and save our city. President Obama is doing many things for our country, but we are barely recognized because we are a small city. We need your help and for you to recognize us in the same way.
Thank you for taking the time to listen to me and the other students. Please take my suggestions in to consideration. It is very cool that I can write to you and speak my mind. Congratulations again on your election, and I know that you are going to be a great mayor for our city.
Nathaniel Lafferty, sophomore

Sounds good in theory, however the conflicts of interest would be the PA Legislature itself. How? If they go ahead with this, next on the agenda would be 'Organized Religious Bodies' and their handling of child sex crimes and eventually removing the Statues of Limitations in Civil cases for a period of time for those survivors. Hard Core Catholics of the Legislature do not want to be boxed into a corner and will NOT allow this!
The 'Elite' PA Politicians [ Hard Core Catholics ] want to hear nothing about sex abused victims in PA except " fuhgeddaboudit" ! They could not be more happy than to know that all child-sex-abuse documents have safely been relocated to the Vatican.
Yes,Lawmakers know exactly what they should do. But at present they may be fearful of the 'Spiritual Mafia'. What Mafia?
Sexual abuse silence "deadly" for Church: Vatican official
Wed, Feb 8 2012
By Philip Pullella
ROME (Reuters) - Hiding behind a culture of "omerta" -- the Italian word for the Mafia's code of silence -- would be deadly for the Catholic Church, the Vatican's top official for dealing with sexual abuse of minors by clergy said Wednesday.
What's this Baloney about "attorney fees" that Chairman Ron Marsico, R speaks about? I'm sick & tired of hearing about attorney fees! Should PA enact laws forbidding compensation for car accident victims because,"it may fill a lawyer's pocket with attorney's fees ".
Legislatures need to wake up and smell the roses. Americans are fed up with child sex abuse! Just last week - $28 MILLION - the largest a single alleged victim of sexual abuse has ever won against a religious organization.Candace Conti said elders at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses in northern Fremont, CA knew Jonathan David Kendrick had molested his stepdaughter a few years before, but declined to warn others or tell police. That silence, Conti said, allowed Kendrick to gain her trust and repeatedly assault her at his home when she was 9 and 10 years old.
I'll let Mr. Ron figure out the 'attorney fees' on that one.

Since Task force chairman David Heckler says they would limit it to looking at the statute of limitations in criminal cases only, and not civil. Is not House Republican spokesman Steve Miskin, off tract with the argument of, 'waiting for the task force's recommendations and doesn't want to pre-empt it', when in fact the Task Force isn't touching the 'Civil' issue at all !
It appears the Task force work, is more common sense rather than Rocket Science. In any event I'd encourage them to chat with a local farmer raising animals,on their way to the retreat next month and see what the farmer does with wayward animals that abuse other animals. Sometimes simple answers are staring us in the face.
At George H.W. Bush's inauguration in 1989 he reiterated his call for a "kinder, gentler America,". If Republican's still believe that and not the, " let's be humane to Sandusky syndrome", they should bring the 2 year Civil window bill to the floor now and let it be voted on.
"Also, where are the parents in all this?" This appears to be a horrific generational repeating cycle. With one in four girls and one in six boys being sexually abused in our country. This didn't just start recently. One mother, excusing her conduct for not protecting her child after being notified of abuse occurring, replied when she was a teenager and abused by a relative, her parents did nothing for her after telling them what happened in their absence.So that experience was deeply enmeshed in her mind. Add to that when parents are hardcore members of certain religious faiths that require absolute loyalty [ and never ever bring reproach on our faith and our God ] it can be very hard to be courageous at that time.
PA is in the Dark Ages...still. Did you notice in Courtroom 304 in Philadelphia there were no "Experts" on child/adult behavior concerning "aftereffects" of molestation. Their Banned in PA! This has to stop.
I trust my molester's 70+ year old memory [he did admit it a short time ago] plus my 50+year old memory, plus the 50+ year old memory of my survivor friend [whom I witnessed being molested].
PA legislature members currently are still living in the rear of the 'cave'. The trial in Philadelphia going on now will not have any 'expert witnesses' testifying as to the psycological effects of child sex abuse. PA is the only state to ban them!
I invite the PA Legislature to step out of the 'cave'; breathe some fresh air and pass HB 878 and HB 2050. Statue Of Limitations for Child Sex Abuse must be removed permenately!
When the Pennsylvania House of Representatives passed a resolution declaring 2012 the "Year of the Bible." was that 'CODE' for "We'll 'LOOK' like we're looking after the children, but in reality we'll be looking after our "Sacred Religious Institutions" this year? Organized religion has been mired in child abuse since the 2nd century. Time will tell, but not holding my breath for them to remove SOL in civil cases for child-sex-abuse like Delaware and Maine have done.

SACRAMENTO, CA - A couple of helpful citizens assisted police in the arrest of a man who showed up at a Sacramento welding shop asking for a job in nothing but his birthday suit.
The Sacramento Police Department received a call of a naked man causing a disturbance at Johnson Welding Fabrication in the 1600 block of Juliesse Avenue.
"I turned around and this naked man is walking into my shop," said owner Chris Johnson.
The man was speaking incoherently in Spanish and even told bystanders to call police, according to witnesses.
When officers arrived to the scene the suspect, who has been identified as Jose Ayala, 36, resisted arrest and began to fight officers.
Ayala grabbed a female officer's hair and refused to let go even after being taken to the ground by a pair of officers.
That's when Johnson, who'd been recording the incident on his iPhone jumped in to help.
"I ran over, punched him in the face and they all three went on the ground," said Johnson.
Johnson's brother Eric, along with a cousin and a friend all pitched in to help the two officers subdue Ayala.
Ayala was described as being incoherent and appeared to be under the influence of methamphetamine or some other drug.
"This guy could have got ahold of either one of their pieces and it was dangerous," said Johnson, explaining why he chose to intervene.
The officer, who was not being identified, and the suspect sustained minor scratches and abrasions during the fight.
Ayala was taken to the hospital for to be checked out and then taken to the Sacramento County Jail where he's facing charges for resisting arrest, trying to escape, assault on a police officer and indecent exposure.
He was being held without bail with an immigration hold, indicating he is apparently not an American citizen.
Johnson said he had trouble sleeping after the incident and now has even more regard for what police go through.
To Johnson, the moral was fairly simple: "Drugs are bad. They make you naked and arrested."

I tend to side with teams rather than players when it comes to money issues, but if you have read ANYTHING about the Tannehill issues, it is not about money, it is about the language. To me, it shows that the Dolphins are realizing after OTAs that maybe he was a reach at #8. The FO is sending a bad message to fans and I can't help but to think it has to be doing something to Tannehill's confidence. The guy is married and has to worry about more than just himself. The organization is 100% wrong here, not Tannehill.
For those of you who think this is for Hard Knocks, are you kidding? This is a guys future. Hard Knocks doesn't control the moves of the organization. It is ridiculous if you think that!

Students and alumni at Brandeis University are calling for their school to end the high pay dished out to someone who doesn't "punch a clock" for his part-time work: ex-president Jehuda Reinharz.
Reinharz was paid $1.2 million by Brandeis since stepping down in 2010. According to the Boston Globe, which is calling for a pay cut for him as well, Reinharz currently pulls down a $287,500 salary, but that will drop to $180,000 next year. He earned $500,000 when he left just to advise the incoming president.
As a result, he has received a combined $1.4 million from the university and his work advising the Mandel Foundation.

If you've been singing nothing but "Fancy" and "Rude" for the last few weeks, you're in luck: rapper Iggy Azalea will team up with Magic! — no doubt to capitalize on the success of their summer hits — in a fall performance in Rochester, MI. Tickets for the show at Meadow Brook Music Festival on Sept. 12 go on sale Monday. Other concerts on sale this weekend include "Bottoms Up" singer Brantley Gilbert; Jason Mraz, who just released a new album called "Yes!"; and Enrique Iglesias and Pitbull.
In theater shows, as Cirque du Soleil Dralion prepares for its return to the U.S., dozens of performances go on sale on Friday. The touring acrobatic show, which draws inspiration from Eastern philosophy and its quest for balance between humans and nature, will visit cities like Charlottesville, VA; Albany, NY; and Wilkes-Barre, PA. Meanwhile, Broadway shows such as The Book of Mormon, Wicked, Pippin, and Motown the Musical offer onsales for their traveling tours.
But it's undoubtedly the NFL that steals the show this week. With tickets to see the Colts, Seahawks, and Vikings on sale this weekend, we're reminded of that time of year everyone's waiting for: football season. We're just 49 days away from kick-off. Not that we're counting.

With more than two years and 1,000 shows under its belt, Newsies will say goodbye to Broadway. The Disney musical is scheduled to close on Aug. 24 at the Nederlander Theatre. But it's not time to say so long for good — a national tour commences October 2014. The North American tour will visit cities across the U.S. and Canada beginning Oct. 11, 2014 and continuing through Aug. 16, 2015, with more dates likely to be announced.
Newsies on Broadway became a somewhat-unexpected hit for Disney. The company originally thought they would develop the musical for regional, stock, and amateur markets but were surprised when the musical fared well as a Broadway production. It was an especially welcome success, given that the original film version from 1992 didn't do well. In comparison, the Broadway version has racked up more than $100 million, while the movie version earned a mere $3 million.
See below for the production's upcomnig tour dates and visit the Newsies for more information on tickets.

The exterior color is Moonstone Metallic (one of BMW's recommended Individual colors for the new M5). The interior is Platinum Merino full extended leather and the trim is Auburn Sycamore. The Moonstone Metallic color with its depth and ever changing look in different lights is stunning and even more impressive in person.
This is a Gulf spec M5, so it … CONTINUED

F10 M5 owners don't seem to be at a lack of words when it comes to describing the euphoria of experiencing the new M5 for the first time as an owner, so check out the review inside.
Here's the very first look at a production Imperial Blue Metallic F10 M5 (although it could also possibly be Azurite Black Individual which is also a dark blue/black color). Imperial Blue Metallic has a beautiful metallic blue hue to it when illuminated and is the darker of the F10 M5 colors. This particular 2012 M5 joined ///M Flight, an M owner's club in Germany, this past weekend. Club members were given rides in the new monster 560hp M5 and got up to 187mph … CONTINUED

Deschutes River Recordings: Blitzen Trapper's Eric Earley
This week we released the second episode of Deschutes River Recordings, featuring Blitzen Trapper's Eric Earley. Eric performed "Up on Cripple Creek" right along the Metolius River, a tributary of the Deschutes, located not far from our home base in Bend, Oregon.
Eric, a native Oregonian and Portland resident, has always had close ties to the river. Tucked away in Oregon's southeast corner is the Donner und Blitzen River, the inspiration for his band's name. German soldiers crossed the remote river during a thunderstorm and aptly named it Donner und Blitzen (thunder and lightning). Before his success, Eric bounced around different rehearsal spaces, staying with friends, and was, as he describes, "basically homeless." Often, he found himself wandering along the banks of the Willamette River in Portland, which inspired the story for "Black River Killer" off the album Furr. The catchy ballad recounts a murderer's journey from the Sunset Strip up to Oregon. In another song off the band's latest album American Goldwing, Eric croons, "I'm weary from this river, it flows far, but never nearer to my home," challenging the notion of the river as place of respite.

Cybersecurity Risks - Do I need to worry about that??
We have all heard of, and many of us have been victims of, cyber attacks and/or security breaches, Target Stores being one of the most recent. A recent Fortune article states that "Crime involving computers and networks has cost the world economy more than $445 billion annually, according to a June 2014 report by the Center for Strategic and International Studies."
But you're a small company and we seem to only hear about the Targets of the world. So, is your company at risk? Manufacturing Innovation Blog discusses the statistics of cyber breaches in small businesses: "Verizon 2013 Data Breach Investigations Report found that 62 percent of breaches impacted smaller organizations. In 2011 the average cost to a small or medium-sized business from a cyber-attack was over $188,000."
There are many resources available to help businesses learn more about how to protect themselves from being targeted by hackers. Many of these are listed in the abovementioned Manufacturing Innovation Blog. Additionally, NC State Industrial Extension Service, along with Guilford Technical Community College is pleased to host an informational seminar designed to educate business leaders on the importance of implementing the Cybersecurity Framework and its key components. This half-day program, Protecting Critical Infrastructure: Mitigating the Risk of a Cyber-Attack, will take place on July 25 in Jamestown, NC. To learn more and to register click here.

There is always the risk of someone hacking your site/server. You can spend a fortune and they might still succeed or you can do nothing about it and be safe. It really depends on your type of business and how valuable the information is. window cleaning brighton
An important factor is ensuring that employees are trained in cyber security, so as to avoid a malware infection or clicking on malicious links.

Dinner Tonight: Porcini-Rubbed Pork Chops
I'm relatively familiar with the wonder that is the porcini mushroom. Usually sold dried, they are probably the most meaty, heady, fragrant mushrooms readily available for the home cook. But I've never seen a use for porcinis quite like this. In this recipe from Friday Night Dinners, they're ground up into a powder to become the backbone of a dry rub that's complemented by dry mustard and garlic powder. More

Mark Caserta: Truth about Benghazi is being avoided
It's been six months since Ambassador Chris Stevens and three colleagues were killed by terrorists in Benghazi, Libya, and Americans and victim's families still aren't any closer to the truth about what actually happened.
While not given to conspiracy theories, I believe the ongoing lack of attention given to the terror attack in 2012 represents a shameless attempt by the White House and the liberal media to cover up a serious mishandling of the incident by the Obama administration.
From the very beginning, the White House, in apparent collusion with the press, has worked harder at diverting attention away from the truth of Benghazi than they've worked at interpreting the facts.
It began with U.S. Ambassador Susan Rice's staged appearances on multiple news shows blaming the attack on an anti-Muslim video and continued with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's testimony before a Congressional committee in which she became indignant to the line of questioning and attempted to refocus the investigation.
"But, you know, to be clear, it is, from my perspective, less important today looking backwards as to why these militants decided they did it than to find them and bring them to justice," Clinton said. "...and then maybe we'll figure out what was going on in the meantime."
I submit that "what was going on in the meantime" is at the very center of the apparent cover-up.
First, it's indefensible that this administration knew we had Americans in an unfriendly Muslim country on Sept. 11 and didn't anticipate potential problems. In fact, reports indicate the State Department actually "reduced" security during the months leading up to the attacks despite warnings of escalating unrest in the region.
We know that Ambassador Stevens sent multiple cables to the White House informing them of a recent spike in "organized" attacks and that Libyan security provided "little deterrence." Yet, requests for additional security were ignored.
Multiple reports and testimony also indicate the U.S. had an unmanned Predator drone over the Benghazi consulate during the attack and that the president was watching a video feed of the onslaught in real time.
Why was this scenario allowed to happen? Why did the president not take action? And why is the White House covering up the facts?
Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham believes the White House is now attempting to prevent the survivors of the attack from sharing their accounts of that horrific evening.
In an interview with Fox News, Graham alleged the survivors of the Benghazi attack have been "told to be quiet" and feel intimidated about telling their stories. Sen. Graham indicated he's "had contact" with some of the survivors, calling their story "chilling."
"We cannot let this administration or any other administration get away with hiding from the American people and Congress, people who were there in real time to tell the story," Graham said.
In my lifetime, I cannot recall such disregard for the lives of Americans and the grieving hearts of family members by any administration.
One has to ask: Is anything held sacred above the legacy of Barack Obama?

text: The Alex Shepherd wiki last edited by Manus101 on 07/26/15 04:36PM View full history OverviewAlex Shepherd is the player character in the game Silent Hill: Homecoming. The story follows Alex as he returns home from war only to find that his town is covered in fog. His mother tells him that it is up to him to find his missing brother, Joshua. As he looks through the terrifying town for his lost brother, he discovers the horrors of Silent Hill.Alex is a much more skilled combatant than the average Silent Hill protagonist due to his military training.He is voiced by Brian Bloom.PersonalityDespite his current situation, Alex is generally a rational and sane person.He shows a certain sensitivity regarding his brother. The cold attitude of his parents towards him has definately left its mark, as he can be rather impatient and gruff and he curses a lot.Elle and Alex.Though he has his own problems to attend to, this doesn't stop him from helping other's in need. Alex is able to kill a monster or an attacking human with little trouble, due to combat training received by his father.Alex is very determined. He refuses to let anything keep him from reaching his goals, even when he learns the truth about what happened four years ago. He never stops struggling to survive and protect the ones he cares about. He also shows romantic feelings for Elle Hollaway.Alex receives some sort of salvation before the death of his mother and father, as both tell him they loved him all the time. They were just reluctant to show it because they knew they had to sacrifice him one day.Alex is well trained in combat.Considering the church area and many other appearances of Christian imagery in otherworld areas (like crucifixes and crosses), it seems religion had a big influence on Alex's subconsciousness.The dialog between Alex and his father hints at two reasons why he chose to believe he was a soldier. His whole life, he believed that his father hated him and thought that enlisting would make his father proud of him. He also wanted to become someone strong and capable of protecting people, most prominently his brother Josh.PlotIn the beginning of Homecoming, Alex finds himself in an eerie hospital, where he is looking for his brother Joshua. But everytime time Alex gets close to him, Joshua runs away. There, Alex witnesses doctors committing vile acts on the patients, finds a combat knife and encounters the first monster of the game, a Nurse. Also, the Pyramid Head/Bogeyman makes his lingering presence known to Alex.Homecoming.This sequence turns out to be a nightmare, as Alex eventually wakes up in the passenger seat of truck driver Travis Grady. He's giving Alex a ride to his hometown, Shepherd's Glen.Upon arrival, Alex finds the town strangely changed. Covered in fog and with streets fallen apart, it's hardly a welcoming place.After reaching his home and finding his mother in a near catatonic state, he takes a gun from her lap and promises her to find his younger brother Joshua.BackgroundAs the story unfolds, it turns out Alex has never been a soldier, but spent the last four years as a patient in a mental hospital.A fateful night.He finally learns what really happened to his brother: One night, Alex and Joshua snuck out on a boat on Toluca Lake. In the boat, Alex was teasing Joshua to show him the family ring, both struggled, and Joshua hit his head on the boat. Falling unconscious into the lake, Joshua drowned.After their father Adam secured Joshua's corpse, Alex went into a mental shock, which made his father send him to a mental hospital. The parents lied about their first-born's fate, telling everyone he joined the army.Alex learns that the founding fathers from the four families, Fitch, Bartlett, Holloway, and Shepherd, were all from the town of Silent Hill. They were allowed to leave the town under one condition - they had to sacrifice one child from each family every fifty years. In doing so, they would protect Shepherd's Glen from the terrors that Silent Hill suffers from, due to the wrath of their deity through an appeasement of blood.But the pact was broken. Alex had been chosen to be sacrificed, but with Joshua dying instead, the rules of the pact were no longer intact, and Shepherd's Glen was doomed.

Serum relaxin levels and kidney function in late pregnancy with or without preeclampsia
Stanford University Medical Center, Stanford, CA, USA
AbstractObjective: Relaxin, a potent pregnancy-related hormone, has been proposed to be a major mediator of renal physiology in normal pregnancy. We wished to test relaxin levels in pregnancy and preeclampsia. Methods: We performed precise physiologic measurements of kidney function in 38 normal peripartum women and 58 women with preeclampsia. We measured serum relaxin levels prior to delivery and over the first 4 postpartum weeks utilizing a modern, validated ELISA. Results were compared to those of 18 normal women of childbearing age. Results: Relaxin levels were substantially elevated in women prior to delivery (364 ± 268 vs. 15 ± 16 pg/ml) and fell rapidly over the first postpartum week reaching normal non pregnant levels by Week 2 (32 ± 64 vs. 15 ± 16 pg/ml). No differences were seen between relaxin levels in normal pregnancy as compared to preeclampsia (364 ± 268 vs. 376 ± 241 pg/ml) despite substantial and persistent abnormalities in GFR (149 ± 33 vs. 89 ± 25 ml/min), albuminuria (14 vs. 687 mg/g) and mean arterial pressure (80 ± 8 vs. 111 ± 18). Furthermore no correlation could be established between physiologic measures (GFR, MAP, RBF, RVR) and relaxin levels (p > 0.3), either in the overall population or any of the subgroups. Conclusion: Relaxin is indeed significantly elevated in the serum of women during late pregnancy and the early puerperium. However, serum relaxin does not appear to influence BP, renal vascular resistance, renal blood flow or GFR in late pregnancy or in women with preeclampsia.

Potato Salad Recommendation
Apologies for the mundane request. Can any of you offer a recommendation on where I should pick up potato salad for a picnic in the cambridge, watertown, boston area.
Thank you in advance.
re: Gordough
Love Barry's and second the recommendation.
re: xperteater
"Wellesly" Farms as opposed to "Wellesley" (no last E) is actually BJ's house brand of foods, not related to any real or imagined farm in Wellesley, MA....Just an FYI...;)
re: galleygirl
did not know that, but it was very good for a big store!1
re: xperteater
Hey, I've heard a lot of good stuff about their prepared food tho I haven't tasted it...They even carry some organic lines...
Cambridge to Watertown via Huron/16 you could try Formaggio, Huron Market (think they have pre-weighed containers?), and Russo's if you don't get it at the others.
For something slightly different, try Brazilian maionese which is pretty similar to a standard mayo based potato salad with a few more ingredients (unfortunately usually frozen veggies at most outlets, but they also serve a _lot_ so its usually fresh). In Somerville: Churrasco Grill or Oasis in Medford (both by lb off buffet). Cafe Brazil in Allston a la carte or Cafe Belo per-lb. Muqueca offered it on their buffet, but for some reason I don't think its on the menu. Rio in Arlington Ctr might be closer, but they had some odd things on the buffet for salad and can't predict if they will have it.
Dave's Fresh Pasta and Blue Ribbon also come to mind (the latter may not have it all the time) as other nice versions. For something inexpensive and basic, there is McKinnon's.
re: itaunas
Bob's in Medford has great chicken salad and tuna salad so I would recommend to try the potato salad (though I haven't tried it). If you don't get a chance to before the picnic, I would definitely recommend visiting Bob's another time for a sub, sandwich or almost anything else they have!
Too bad Parish Cafe doesn't sell theirs by the pound. It is soooo good. Not heavily mayo-ey. Besides my mom's, Parish's is the only potato salad I'll eat.

Sharples won't be tied down by the Wallabies – Hogg
Posted: November 16, 2012|
CHARLIE Sharples has been backed to make the transition from England's right wing to the left against Australia at Twickenham tomorrow by Gloucester forwards coach Carl Hogg.
The Cherry and Whites speedster grabbed his first tries for his country last week when he crossed the whitewash twice against Fiji.
That performance has seen him rewarded with just his fourth cap against the two-time world champions at a sold out home of rugby.
With the return of Saracens wing Chris Ashton from a domestic ban, head coach Stuart Lancaster has shifted Sharples from one side to the other but Hogg says he will have no problem adjusting to it.
"Charlie played across the backline for us last year and has played full-back for us so he is well aware of the relationships that he needs to build," said former Scottish international Hogg.
"It will be a challenge for him but he is more than capable of fulfilling that.
"Charlie had an excellent game at Twickenham last week so we are all very pleased as a club for Charlie and getting that opportunity to play against Australia, who are a big Tri Nations side, is very exciting for Charlie.
"His form for us this year has been exceptional so it is a just reward for him and hopefully he can back that up against Australia."
England: Alex Goode (Saracens); Chris Ashton (Saracens), Manusamoa Tuilagi (Leicester), Brad Barritt (Saracens), Charlie Sharples (Gloucester); Toby Flood (Leicester), Danny Care (Harlequins); Joe Marler (Harlequins), Tom Youngs (Leicester), Dan Cole (Leicester); Tom Palmer (Wasps), Geoff Parling (Leiccester); Tom Johnson (Exeter), Chris Robshaw (Harlequins), Thomas Waldrom (Leicester). Replacements: David Paice (London Irish), David Wilson (Bath), Mako Vunipola (Saracens), Joe Launchbury (Wasps), Tom Wood (Northampton), Ben Youngs (Leicester), Owen Farrell (Saracens), Mike Brown (Harlequins).
