Entries in environment (7)
cicLAvia, 2011
What: CicLAvia
When: Sunday, October 9, 10am-3pm
Where: Los Angeles
In response to the congestion and pollution of the city streets in Bogota, Columbia, Ciclovías began there over thirty years ago in 1976.
Today they're held every Sunday and Holidays—and they're growing in popularity here as we become more concerned about the environment and take to biking which offers a healthy alternative to vehicular transportation.
For five hours this Sunday, the notorious streets of LA will be closed to motor traffic as CicLAvia makes them safe for people to walk, skate, play—and ride a bike.
Quickly becoming a bi-annual event—as shops and restaurants along the route open their doors to participants—seven and a half miles of streets were car-free for the 2010 event and this October new spurs in Chinatown and South LA will be added.
Thanks to cristina, store manager west hollywood, for this submission.
bike the drive, 2011
What: Bike the Drive
When: Sunday, May 29
Where: Lake Shore Drive, Chicago
One day of every year since 2002, Lake Shore Drive is closed to motor vehicle traffic and open only to cyclists for 30 miles—15 north of downtown, and 15 south—from 5:30 to 9:45am.
Take advantage of the situation and get prepped—and don't forget registration is required to bike the scenic and historic route.
Bonus? Proceeds from the ride help the Active Transportation Alliance to continue improving bike lanes, walking paths and transit in the region. So besides enjoying the festival in Grant Park, it's for a good cause.
planting saplings, 2011
We're not sure how many trees technically make a woodland a forest, but we think we're off to a healthy start.
As a result of everyone's purchases made on April 22, 2500 saplings will be planted in honor of Earth Day 2011.
We dig all who participated—and a big, huge 'Thank You' to American Forests for doing all the dirty work.

A young mother has confessed to brutally slashing her daughter to death because she believed the child — who had a history of sleepwalking — was possessed by the devil, authorities in Illinois said this week.
Nelly Vasquez-Salazar, 25, is being held on $5 million bond after appearing in court Tuesday to face a first-degree murder charge.
Authorities found the body of Vasquez-Salazar's 6-year-old daughter, Evelyn Vasquez, early Monday morning in the family's Waukegan, Ill., apartment. The child, who died of multiple stab wounds to her neck and upper chest, according to the coroner, was found on the floor of her bedroom.
She had been stabbed 11 times, prosecutors and investigators said at a Tuesday news conference. A butcher's knife that they believe to be the murder weapon was recovered, as was a religious picture featuring St. Joseph, Mary and baby Jesus. The artwork had been cut up by a knife.
"She had had conversations with her mother because Evelyn had been sleepwalking and [Vasquez-Salazar] would wake up and her daughter would be standing by her bed," William Biang, Waukegan police chief, told ABC News. "The theory was that the daughter was possessed."
Authorities responded to the apartment at 4:40 a.m. Monday after Vasquez-Salazar went to a neighbor's apartment reportedly covered with slashes to her own hands and wrists.
Vasquez-Salazar initially told investigators that she killed her daughter in self-defense after the child came at her with a knife, according to Stephen Scheller, an assistant state's attorney in Lake County, but the woman later admitted to being fearful of a daughter possessed by the devil.
"The first statement we received from the defendant was that it was an act of self-defense," Scheller said. "After she made the statement to detectives, she later recanted it, made a second statement, which she admitted in fact she had stabbed her daughter multiple times about the body."
Domenic Cappelluti, a detective for the Waukegan police, cited a recent call between the suspect and the suspect's mother in Mexico that could have, in part, prompted the killing.
"In summary, Nelly said, 'My daughter is sleepwalking,'" Cappelluti said. "She called mom for advice, her mom said she might be possessed and then Nelly took it for whatever she took it for."
Cappelluti also described the suspect as remaining calm throughout a videotaped interrogation and answering all of the investigators' questions.
During part of her interview with police, Cappelluti said, the suspect described blaming "certain incidents and people besides herself at first, but then later stating that she blamed herself for how she murdered her daughter."
Despite the woman's ability to remain composed during interviews with police, she broke down when she was led off to jail, saying she did not deserve to live, and then again in court during arraignment while prosecutors outlined their evidence, ABC News' WLS-TV in Chicago reported.
Evelyn was born in Denver, where her father now lives, according to WLS. She had lived in Mexico with her grandmother until the summer when she moved to Waukegan, a community of 90,000 residents midway between Chicago and Milwaukee along the Lake Michigan shoreline. Grief counseling was made available at the elementary school where Evelyn was a member of the kindergarten class.

No matter your view on the subject, in a little less than a month's time John Paul Amis will no longer be superintendent of Perry County Schools. By virtue of a contract oft extended by the Perry County Board of Education, he'll be riding off to a nice retirement.
What he leaves behind him, however, is a school district in need.
First, it should be noted that Mr. Amis did work, especially in his final few years as superintendent, to address the district's facilities needs. After several years of looking, a piece of property was finally purchased for what is now known as East Perry Elementary, and according to a statement he released last week, funding is now available to build a new school that could potentially consolidate A.B. Combs, Big Creek and Willard elementary schools. Additionally, Buckhorn has essentially a new school, as does Robinson, and plans are in the works to rehab Chavies.
But as the physical needs are now being addressed, it has taken state leadership and a new principal to begin to address the academic needs at Perry Central, the county's largest high school which last winter was listed one of a handful of persistently low-achieving schools in the Commonwealth of Kentucky.
And while ACT scores for the school's juniors were up this past school year, data shows that graduating seniors actually fared worse than the previous year. At Buckhorn High School it was just the opposite, as junior scores on the ACT declined, while seniors improved.
Additionally, in 2011 the district's graduation rate was below the state average, while the district as a whole failed to meet requirements of the federal No Child Left Behind law.
While we're the first to acknowledge that there are some really good things going on in the Perry County School District, such as the free lunch program, the fact remains that there is some very hard work ahead for our local educators and for a new superintendent, whoever that may be several months from now.
Any future success of the district, however, will now fall upon the board of education, the members of which have a very important decision to make in naming who they want to lead their district.
We're not arrogant enough to presume that we have the best answer, but we do hope the board will lead a very thorough search and consider every candidate for the job, whether they currently reside in this district or not. If anything, what the district needs now is a new direction, and perhaps a little new blood.

This complete and unabridged collection contains all 23 of Beatrix Potter's Tales in one deluxe volume with all their original illustrations. A perfect gift to introduce children to the world of Beatrix Potter, the Complete Tales is also an ideal christening present; traditional and timeless, it's a classic for any nursery shelf. Discover Beatrix's most famous character, Peter Rabbit, and meet his family and friends. There are so many exciting adventures to enjoy, told with such humour and wit it's difficult to believe that Beatrix Potter wrote many of them over 100 years ago. Children will love hearing what happens to naughty Peter Rabbit when he disobeys his mother and ventures into Mr. McGregor's vegetable garden. They'll delight in discovering the fate of Tom Kitten who, like so many young children, finds it just impossible to keep his clothes neat and clean! The tales are arranged in the order in which they were first published to enable them to be read in proper sequence, as several are linked together by events and characters. There is a section at the end of the book that contains four additional works by Beatrix Potter that were not published in her own lifetime. The stories included inside are: "The Tale of Peter Rabbit"; "The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin"; "The Tailor of Gloucester"; "The Tale of Benjamin Bunny"; "The Tale of Two Bad Mice"; "The Tale of Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle"; "The Tale of Mr. Jeremy Fisher"; "The Tale of Tom Kitten"; "The Tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck"; "The Tale of the Flopsy Bunnies"; "The Tale of Mrs. Tittlemouse"; "The Tale of Timmy Tiptoes"; "The Tale of Johnny Town-Mouse"; "The Tale of Mr. Tod"; "The Tale of Pigling Bland"; "The Tale of Samuel Whiskers"; "The Tale of The Pie and the Patty-Pan"; "The Tale of Ginger and Pickles"; "The Tale of Little Pig Robinson"; "The Story of a Fierce Bad Rabbit"; "The Story of Miss Moppet"; "Appley Dapply's Nursery Rhymes"; and, "Cecily Parsley's Nursery Rhymes.

Working Itself to Death

Although distribution is not typically a high-margin/high-return sort of business, industrial supply is a different story, as MSC Industrial (NYSE:MSM), Fastenal (Nasdaq:FAST), and Grainger (NYSE:GWW) have all managed to generate solid margins, returns on capital, and free cash flow. With the acquisition of Barnes' (NYSE:B) North American distribution business (BDNA) now complete, MSC Industrial has an interesting set of options in front of it. While management will find itself occupied initially with fixing BDNA's flabby margins, the opportunities for product, end market, and geographical expansion make this a name worth knowing and owning today.

BDNA In Hand, Now The Real Work Can Begin
Although a $550 million deal isn't all that large by Wall Street standards, it's a significant transaction for a company of MSC's size (about $5 billion in market cap). The deal brings the company into many new businesses/markets - expanding its Class C supply business, but also adding product lines like fasteners and hydraulics and end-markets like transportation where MSC previously had a much smaller presence.
Arguably it's not even the different business lines and markets of BDNA that will make the integration challenging. Instead, this was a company that was run by managers more familiar with manufacturing than distribution and the results show it. Due at least in part to an inefficient distribution system (including poorly-leveraged distribution centers) and sub-optimally productive sales force, BDNA managed to translate gross margins higher than MSC's into much (high single-digit, by my calculations) operating margins.
SEE: Understanding The Income Statement
The bad news is that BDNA is a large business and it's really not possible to just flip a switch and have everything fixed by morning. The good news is that MSC not only has a history of integrating deals, but a very strong corporate legacy of efficient operations (particularly in the sales/distribution areas). Not all of MSC's experience can be directly brought to bear on BDNA – completely converting BDNA's model away from high-touch sales interaction to phone/internet-based ordering isn't going to work – but there's nevertheless ample opportunity to improve BDNA's performance, while providing more incentives to sales reps and managers to think in terms of growing the business.
A Platform For Growth?
MSC Industrial now has at least a foothold in multiple markets that could lead to better long-term growth. Thus far, MSC has thrived in large part on its strong market position in metalworking, and that market has long been more than half of the company's business. With BDNA, that can change (and not a moment too soon, as rivals like Fastenal look to expand into metalworking).
BDNA gives MSC the chance to compete with Fastenal in the fasteners market, a market at least as large as metalworking. BDNA will also expand MSC's presence into hydraulics (where companies like Applied Industrial Technologies (NYSE:AIT) specialize) and further grow its OEM business – basically industrial "private label" manufacturing. While MSC did have some presence in these markets prior to BDNA, the acquisition will certainly grow the company's profile and customer base, and grow its addressable market in a meaningful way.
SEE: Analyzing An Acquisition Announcement
The same should be true in terms of end markets and geographical markets. BDNA brings with it a meaningful customer base in areas like transportation, railroad, and utilities, areas where MSC really hasn't focused much before. Assuming MSC can successfully cross-sell BDNA's customer base (something the company has been fairly good at in the past), this represents a largely new set of businesses for MSC to count as customers. Last and not least, BDNA brings with it exposure to Canada. While MSC has had exposure to the U.K. for some time now (and has been slow to address it), there is at least the option now to make this a more international business and one that doesn't rely solely on the U.S. industrial sector.
A larger presence in markets like hydraulics and expanded private label offerings should also help MSC withstand increased competition from Amazon (Nasdaq:AMZN) in industrial supply. While Amazon's existing distribution capabilities (and willingness to invest for the very long term)makes it a threat to the industry's margin structure, it could also inadvertently highlight the benefits of the elevated service offerings from companies like MSC.
The Bottom Line
In the short term, MSC is going to have to absorb margin dilution as it integrates and improves BDNA. While the internal rate of return from this deal probably won't be all that impressive for the first two or three years, I believe the long-term IRR should be in the low teens. Moreover, I think that analysis understates the potential benefits to be gained from cross-selling and organic expansion catalyzed by the transaction.
I'm still very nervous about the health of the U.S. industrial/manufacturing sector, and the possibility that ongoing weakness will lead to a disappointing upcoming earnings report. Still, I would use any such disappointment as an opportunity to buy shares. With BDNA in hand and its own internal efforts, I believe MSC can grow its top line at a high single-digit rate and produce free cash flow growth in the mid-teens. That works out to a fair value in the mid-$90s and a stock that, while vulnerable to a sluggish economy in the short run, offers compelling long-term opportunity.
At the time of writing, Stephen D. Simpson owned shares of MSC.

Random Apostasies and Heresies

Hi Glen! My first time visiting here, though I've been meaning to for some time after reading your comments at Neil's and elsewhere.
I do want to inquire about your comment in the first piece. Why do you think God wouldn't answer a prayer for anyone to benefit from gambling? What's wrong with gambling? I don't mean what's wrong with how people abuse gambling and can be corrupted by it, but gambling itself. I love gambling and would do it more if I had a better income and more time. It's a form of entertainment that can also enrich one's life if done properly. I've asked others now and then to cite something from Scripture that would justify a negative attitude for the gaming of this kind, and have come up dry, as I have when studying myself. Bear in mind, I do not equate gambling with greed, though the greedy hope to get wealthy via gambling. But that doesn't mean gambling itself is bad/evil/wicked/wrong.
And if God chose to benefit anyone, what makes you believe that he would not use gambling to do so? I buy lottery tickets regularly. I don't ask Him to make the little balls fall my way. I figure if He wants me to enjoy immediate wealth, He will. I leave it up to Him. But I don't buy if I don't have the money. The money could always be used for other things, but so could money spent on dinner and a movie, or new clothes not needed or a billion other things for which people trade their cash without thoughts of whether or not it is wicked, good or neither to do so.
As to leading anyone to the RCC, you do realize that it could lead people toward a more sound understanding of the faith to get a taste of it from a "lesser" denomination, don't you? God works in mysterious ways, and my own Catholic upbringing kept me in His fold long enough to study for myself and turn toward the Bible until I found problems that led me away from the RCC. Going from nothing to even the RCC is better than staying at the nothing. Who knows where it could lead the man?
I'm just sayin'.

Hi Marshall,
Welcome to my blog! Of course this is only the apologetics side - you have to link to my other one to see my social commentary side :oD
As for the issue of Gambling, how about I answer your questions with a new post on that very issue? I can do it fairly quickly by cutting and pasting from an outline of an old class I taught to high school Sunday School.
As for the RCC: No, I do not believe God would lead anyone to the RCC any more than He would to the LDS. No where in Scripture will you find God leading people false teachings where they can be trapped, just so they can sample what false teachings are like. Of course I believe God can use people's experience in false teachings, as He has done with my stint as a Mormon, but I don't see God's character as leading people into lies and heresy.

One commenter, whose name linked to a heretical site (he calls himself a "non-trinitarin Christian"), had this to say:
"I'm skeptical about the lottery thing, too. Considering that a lot of people pray to win the lottery, it was bound to happen that someone who prayed/was prayed for won. Probabilities, man."
I have to agree with that statement!

Home Invasion Scam-What To Watch Out For
This is a story out of Colorado Springs, Colorado, where local TV station KOAA did a story about people roaming around neighborhoods dressed as security guards, Comcast repairmen and even utility workers.
They do so to perpetrate a scam on homeowners and gain entry into their homes. The idea has been around for a long time but it seems to be gaining in popularity, especially with senior citizens who are more naïve.
You can read the rest of the story
What To Watch Out For
I learned this in a neighborhood watch meeting but I've heard it before. Never, never let anybody into your house unless you know who they are and why they are there. Just because someone is wearing a Comcast label on his shirt, doesn't necessarily mean he works for Comcast. A man dressed as a security guard may be nothing more than a common criminal trying to rip you off.
Always ask for identification. If there is any doubt, call the company and asked for verification. Be especially suspicious of people who show up unannounced without an appointment.

The rain came and went, and the Fox Creek softball team ended up splitting the week that was.
The Lady Predators finished the Palmetto Classic with a 2-2 record. The preseason tournament saw them beat South Aiken and lose to Midland Valley. This past week the team thumped Barnwell on Tuesday, 17-8, and fell against Silver Bluff 6-3 on Saturday. Rain caused a small layoff and the scheduled game against North Augusta was canceled.
We did all right, I just dont like losing, head coach David Bell said following the game against the Bulldogs. We started off a little bit slow and Silver Bluff played a really good game. Their pitcher was dead-on and the ball was really moving. We had trouble laying off the high stuff and that got us.
In that contest Betty Vignati had two hits and a run scored. She was the only Predator to notch more than one hit, as the team combined for just seven total. Freshman pitcher Jada Simpson gave up two earned runs as two errors led to the other four runs. Simpson also struck out five in the outing.
The script was flipped for the Barnwell game, however, as the Fox Creek bats exploded for 24 total hits. Erin Harrison led the hit parade with four, followed by Vignati, Simpson, Harley Muniz and Emily Lingerfelt with three a piece. Nicole Gibson, Morgan Matthews, Hannah Culpepper and Sabrina Ladousier rounded out the lineup with each having two hits. Culpepper had four RBIs in the game, as well as a home run. Ladousier had three RBIs and Vignati had two. Vignati also led the team with three runs and she had one of the teams three triples (Culpepper and Ladousier had the others).
They hit really well, Bell said. Jada also pitched a great game. Girls just got on fire and they showed something we had been looking for. We hadnt done a lot of batting practice and they just came out in the ninth inning and unloaded on them; they put up nine runs in the inning. Hannah hit a triple to start it off and then hit one out in the same inning. Just a lot of good things and a lot of things we can work on and get better at. We have a young team.
Vignati and Simpson were chosen to the all-tournament team, which was voted on by all of the coaches who participated..
The Predators will start their regular season at North for a game scheduled on Tuesday and at Williston-Elko on Friday. They will host Lewisville on Saturday before playing next Tuesday at home against Ridge Spring-Monetta.

(ABC 6 News) -- We've all heard the phrase, 'bring home the bacon', but now Austin based Hormel is bringing home the bacon and turning it into motorcycle fuel.
It is the definition of a one of a kind – a diesel motorcycle that runs solely on bacon grease.
"We actually had the grease from our Rochelle, IL plant so it is all 100% Black Label," says Hormel brand manager for Hormel Black Label Bacon, Nick Schweitzer.
Scott Schraufnagel who works for BBDO Minneapolis, the advertising agency responsible for the idea of the bike, says the motorcyle, "runs on B-100 bio-diesel so what that means is it has no hazardous waste materials."
So, how do you turn bacon grease into bio-diesel? Well, you take it to a company that converts grease into bio-diesel like Bio-Blend Fuels in Wisconsin. "It's almost a one-to-one ratio in terms of one pound of material to about a gallon of pig fuel," says Schraufnagel.
The fuel for the bike costs about $3.50 a gallon and gets 75 to 100 miles per gallon, and yes, it does smell like bacon when it runs. Hormel foods is the owner and operator of the bike which will be used in a documentary called, "Driven by Bacon".
"We are working with a bacon lover who's going to be riding the bike starting a cross country trip where we'll be going from Austin, MN to San Diego, CA," Schraufnagel says.
As the bike travels the country, the crew hopes to meet people who are excessively passionate says Schraufnagel, "the whole goal was to really find people that are to the core about something, we're obviously bacon to the core, but finding people that have a passion or have something they really believe in."
The film crew will edit the documentary on the road which will premiere in San Diego at the International Bacon Film Festival at the end of August.
Following its journey, the bacon bike will return to Austin possibly resting in the SPAM Museum.

Step 2: What you need.
glue gun
empty soda/water bottle
Knife or razor blade
Dremel, for touching up the saw cut
not pictured - a clothes iron is nice, but not necessary
a US 5 cent piece, otherwise known as a nickel
Step 3: Prepping the bottle
Now, use the knife to remove the little plastic strip around the bottle neck.
Step 5: Finish with Dremel
I left a very slight raised "ridge." I find this makes it easier to use.
Step 6: The nickel
Step 7: Gluing
If you mess up.. like I just did... then you can place the whole shebang on top of your overturned clothes iron at medium heat. Don't use the highest setting, like I did... I just found out that the plastic turns white when it gets too hot! :)
try putting the glue on the bottom of the cap, and get more space inside :)

Keep JFK ('91) cued to Donald Sutherland's "Mr. X" scene near the middle of the film, in which he mumbles to Costner on a park bench for what seems like 4 or 5 hours. It's video Xanax: a somnolent actor sleepwalking through a straw-voiced, muttered soliloquy while Oliver Stone's camera work does a slow fade to black. Set your TV timer to blink off at the end of this stultifying 17-minute scene; you'll likely conk out before the tube does. If not, watch it again.

Q&A with Greg Williams, Executive Editor WIRED
Posted by Christine Overby on March 21, 2013
- 418 Recommendations
- 0 comments
There's a growing group of people who are always online and use their devices to support nearly every activity, including making decisions about your products and services. We call them your perpetually connected customers. They will shake your marketing to the core, because they value service and utility – not ads buzzing in their pockets. To thrive, you need new tactics and a culture of innovation. In the run-up to our Forrester Forum for Marketing Leaders EMEA, I've been speaking about marketing innovation with one of our keynotes, Greg Williams, Executive Editor at WIRED. As an editor, speaker, and writer, Greg scouts the best glimpses of the future that exist in the here-and-now. Here are some of his thoughts.
Q: What's your favourite example of an application that merges the digital and physical?
A: It's a really hard thing to get right. A successful example is Tesco's South Korean operation, which is called Home Plus. As part of its drive to become the number one supermarket chain in the country it did some research, which revealed that – as people in South Korea work some of the longest hours in the world – they found supermarket shopping an enormous chore. Home Plus reacted to this by posting detailed photographic images of its stores (everything from meat counters to shelves of cleaning supplies) on the walls of subway stations. This enabled time-poor commuters to use their mobile devices to scan QR codes and have their goods delivered to their homes within hours. Home Plus online sales went up by 130 per cent in three months, helping it to close the gap on the market leader, E-Mart.
Q: Are there low-risk ways for brands to open up innovation?
A: I think that it's a mind-set more than anything else. I did a talk for a large energy company a few months ago that was trying to improve its knowledge flows. They'd got people together from all over the world who work across various parts of the business that basically operate in silos. Instituting large-scale change was high-risk for them in terms of cost, and they didn't know where to start. In instances like this I think that the only way to initiate change is to try and forget that you work in a large institution and act like an entrepreneur and energise your team or those around you and, essentially, attack the way that you work. You have to hack your own business, your own working methods and the only way to do this is to have a culture of openness.
Q: What's the most common mistake that brands make when story telling?
A: People talk a lot about uniqueness and setting your brand apart, which are important, but I feel that, in many ways, content marketing is no different from writing a novel or a movie – it's about creating a narrative with emotional resonance. To steal from John Lasseter, the chief Creative Officer at Pixar, there are three words that really count: make, me, care.

CROYDON RIOTS: Coulsdon gun store raided
Posted: August 10, 2011|
A gun store in Coulsdon was ram-raided in the early hours of this morning.
As many as 15 air powered weapons were stolen after a white Ford Transit van smashed into the front of GT Shooting, in Chipstead Valley Road, at 5.25am.
The van completely destroyed the front of the store,which sells specialist rifles and pistols, allowing two people to enter and steal a number of weapons.
The suspects are believed to have driven away towards Surrey.
It is unclear whether the raid on the shop is connected to the looting which left dozens of Croydon stores looted and buildings ablaze on Monday night.
Detectives from Croydon CID are investigating.
Retired garage parts manager Richard Hurren, 64, described the damage to the store: "The whole of the front is open and destroyed. Bits and pieces of glass and debris are lying all over the floor.
"There has been very substantial damage to the front of the store. It's difficult to tell if anything has been stolen because the police won't let us near."

The landlord must:
The tenant must:
Common sense, a good lease, and local, state and federal laws protect your
tenant rights. Understanding your legal rights is a critical advantage that can
help you to avoid, meet, and overcome rental problems.
Common sense is a personal attribute requiring consistent exercise. Obtain a
receipt for payments to a landlord or use checks or money orders that can be
verified. Read and understand anything you are asked to sign. Get a copy of
anything you sign. An application to rent is not a lease and is not binding
until confirmed by a lease. If you pay a security deposit with an application,
you may lose the deposit if you decide not to rent the apartment after you are
approved. Giving notice that you do not wish to rent an apartment before
notification of approval should justify return of the deposit unless
specifically denied by terms of the application or oral notice. An
administrative fee may be charged for a credit check and would be
Each party should read, understand, sign, and receive a copy of a lease. A
lease is a legal document describing the relationship, obligations, and
prohibitions of a relationship between a landlord and a tenant.
Remember that most landlords are decent, hardworking business people who
desire a positive relationship with their tenants and a profit from their
rentals. A few landlords create problems for some of their tenants. Resolving
problems amicably in honest discussion is preferable, but if disagreements are
not resolved easily, additional steps and remedies may be necessary. For minor
disagreements, courts are a poor solution. If a disagreement and/or problems
are major, courts may be the only solution. Often, nonrenewal of a lease is the
easiest ending to a bad relationship.

Secret Service: Fake bills on the rise in SA
SA Woman outraged after receiving counterfeit bill
SAN ANTONIO - It took a few months, but Julia Rosales saved $3,000 to buy a bigger vehicle for her growing family.
"I went from two kids to five kids. My boyfriend is a single dad of three, so we needed a bigger vehicle," Rosales said.
Rosales went to Randolph Brooks Federal Credit Union, where she banks, and withdrew the money.
But when she tried to use it, she got a big surprise.
She said a security guard at a later location put it up to the light and it came out that it was fake.
"I was like, 'No way, I just got it from the bank,'" Rosales said.
Per protocol, the bill was taken and sent to the Secret Service.
Rosales went straight to Randolph Brooks to report what happened but said they didn't respond the way she had hoped.
"She didn't even bother to look up my account," Rosales said.
Jackie Carter, with the Secret Service, said they've seen an increase in counterfeit bills, likely due to the economy.
Carter said there are ways to tell if a bill is counterfeit such as threads you can see when you hold them up to light and color-shifting numbers on the bottom right of most bills.
"The ink will shift from green to black," Carter said.
Sonya McDonald, with Randolph Brooks, released a comment.
"While we can't get into specific procedures for security reasons, the likelihood that a counterfeit bill came from RBFCU is low," McDonald said.

June Is Dairy Month Serves as a Healthy Eating Reminder for Moms and Kids
SACRAMENTO, CA — During June Is Dairy Month, Dairy Council of California reminds moms that milk provides the nutrition kids need when they're out of school and not benefiting from the essential nutrients found in school breakfast and lunch programs.
By design, school lunches provide one-third of the recommended daily allowances of protein, vitamins A and C, iron, calcium and calories that kids need for healthy development. However, only a fraction of children have access to food programs over summer vacation. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service agency, of the 18.5 million children who received free or reduced-price breakfast or lunch during the 2008 school year, only 3.5 million children had access to summer food programs.
