UFC NEWS – Kenny Florian Leaves ESPN's MMA Live: Set To Host "UFC Tonight" On FUEL TV
Authentic Sports Management today announced that Kenny "Ken-Flo" Florian will serve as a host of "UFC Tonight," a weekly news show that debuts in January on Fuel TV as part of the seven-year broadcasting deal with FOX networks. The show will become a primary source of news and information for Fuel TV viewers and fans of the Ultimate Fighting Championship® organization.
"To become a host for the first major news program for the UFC at the very start of its new partnership with FOX is an honor, and I am so proud that they selected me," said Florian. "I'm appreciative of Dana White and Lorenzo Fertitta and the executives at FOX for giving me this opportunity, and especially my manager, Glenn Robinson and his team at ASM, who worked hard to make this show on Fuel TV a reality for me. This is a huge step forward for my career, and I can't wait for everything to start on January 3."
"Kenny Florian is incredibly talented and I have no doubt that he is going to help UFC Tonight become one of the most popular shows in sports programming," said Glenn Robinson, President, Authentic Sports Management. "Kenny has done a superb job of developing his skills as a television personality while actively fighting his way to the highest levels in the Octagon. He is an example to all other fighters on how you can succeed to your utmost potential. I am thrilled that ASM was able to help make the UFC Tonight hosting opportunity a reality for Kenny. Pretty soon "Ken-Flo" will be broadcast in every home across America. You can never have too much Ken-Flo!"
One of the most popular athletes in the sport of mixed martial arts today, Florian is an original cast-member of The Ultimate Fighter. He burst onto the national scene with his performance on the show, despite the fact that he was competing in a division well above his natural fighting weight. Since his time on the show, he's gone 12-4 in the Octagon, and recently vied for the featherweight world title against reigning champion Jose Aldo.
Florian is a familiar face in television as well, having served as an MMA analyst for years on ESPN's "MMA Live" alongside Jon Anik and Franklin McNeil. As an active MMA fighter competing at the highest level in the UFC, "Ken-Flo" will bring first hand perspectives to the new show with his experiences and knowledge inside the Octagon.
"UFC Tonight" will be hosted by Florian and Todd Harris, who is known for his work as an ESPN and VERSUS play-by-play commentator.
In addition to his television and fighting career, Florian operates his own MMA academy, Florian Martial Arts Center in Brookline, Massachusetts, and was recently awarded the second degree on his Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt.
"UFC Tonight" will air weekly for the first six months. However, Fox executives have stated it has the potential to increase to several episodes a week or to a daily news program. "UFC Tonight" will debut on January 3, 2012, at 10 p.m. ET/PT.

Is that a step down? or a step up?
considering mma live hasnt been on in like 3 weeks, i would say it was a good move lol
lol. guess your right
ASM needs a more imaginative statement writer:
"I'm appreciative of Dana White and Lorenzo Fertitta and the executives at FOX for giving me this opportunity, and especially my manager, Glenn Robinson and his team at ASM, who worked hard to make this show on Fuel TV a reality for me."
"I am thrilled that ASM was able to help make the UFC Tonight hosting opportunity a reality for Kenny."
I am thrilled that Kenny is thrilled about being thrilled. Just the thrill alone is just overwhelming thrilling. Wouldn't it be thrilling if thriller was the opening music for this thrilling show? THRILL
I don't know about Kenflo as a commentator, am I the only one that saw him studdering and hesitating on Live television at UFC Rio this August? Seems to me like he is just Dana's pet and that he could be a camera man or work in the headquarters. I'm not trying to hate on da boy, I congratulate him on all the chips coming his way but that doesn't make up for the fact that his skills are lacking in the interviewing department and that his face looks like his neck threw up! TEAM PENN!!!!!!

Hey, we're all for ripping on the 2011 Oscars, but leave the kids alone. While most of the criticisms of last Sunday's show revolved around James Franco & Anne Hathaway being upstaged by Billy Crystal & the ghost of Bob Hope, Bravo's inescapable VP and reunion show host Andy Cohen told the folks on Morning Joe that it was P.S. 22's rendition of "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" that 'ruined everything.'
There was a thing called 'Up With People' in the '70s or '80s. Here's what: Oscar night is not about Up With People. Like, I don't need to see that. It was just bad. It was just awful. It was horrible…A public school chorus singing "Somewhere Over the Rainbow." I literally — if I wasn't going to go out to some parties I would have slit 'em right then. It was the worst. I was looking for a knife to stick in my eyes, it was so terrible. Everything has its time and place. The end of the Oscars is—we don't want to see this. You just ruined everything.
While having the winners march out mid-song was a bit much, we'd argue that the presence of sweet little schoolchildren would be welcome if the show didn't shoehorn them into a weird "old movies meets new media" theme that the hosts and writers were too incompetent or too indifferent to get over. Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin would have had no problem setting up the stage for these sweethearts last year. And wasn't it worth it just to see when Anne Hathaway told P.S. 22 they were going to Hollywood? Though Cohen swore that he loved, loved public schoolchildren before his rant, anyone who thought P.S. 22 was the worst part of the show probably hates kids just a little.

76,504 see Browns rout 49ers, 37-14, to win Western Division crown
Cleveland Municipal Stadium
Plain Dealer Reporter
Cleveland's wide-awake Browns, once again more efficient workmen on an afternoon when expertness was necessary for victory, yesterday retained their All-America Conference western division championship and qualified to defend their league title in the annual east-west play-off Dec. 14
Brisk and nimble when they were that attacking team and prompt in capitalizing on all of their opponents' mistakes, the Browns scored on six of the nine times they held the ball to trim San Francisco's 49ers handily, 37 to 14, before a crowd of 76,504 in the stadium, making the total attendance for the year 392,760.
Just as in their two previous triumphs over the 49ers, and in virtually every victory this season, the Browns relied on the arm of Otto Graham to boost them into the playoffs. Otto has a varied list of catchers, and yesterday Dante Lavelli was his principal receiver.
Lavelli Snares Seven
Seven of the 15 throws Otto completed during the game were taken by the handsome Hudson (O.) boy, and three of them were for touchdowns.
Dashing Dante, always a capable man in the important games, scored his first touchdown by racing away from Len Eshmont to make a running catch in the end zone on a play that started on the 49ers' 23 at 11:10 of the first period.
He got behind Earle Parsons in the corner of the field to make a catch of a 15-yard fling for his second score shortly before the first half ended.
And on No. 3, on which he established a new conference record, Lavelli brought the fans to their feet on a 62-yard play in which he outmaneuvered an opponent with one of the finest pieces of work seen here this season. For deceit, it was comparable to the job turned in by Mac Speedie against Chicago when he faked three Rockets out of position while on his knees.
Graham, Adamle Score
Graham went over on a quarterback sneak from the 1-yard line after Tommy Colella had made a zigzag return of 44 yards with an intercepted pass and Tony Adamle smashed over from the same distance for the Browns' other touchdowns.
Chet Adams demonstrated there still is plenty of power in his right leg by kicking a 44-yard field goal after four minutes of the first period. One conversation was made by the veteran tackle and three by Capt. Lou Saban.
Adams and Saban were called upon for the place-kicking duty when Lou Groza pulled a muscle in his leg during the pregame warm-up. Once an outstanding place-kicker with Indiana, Saban broke into the scoring column for the first time in two years of play with Cleveland.
In baseball, a team particularly easy for a pitcher to beat is said to be the hurler's "cousins." If such a term can be used in football, then it would be appropriate to apply it to the 49ers in their struggles with Graham.
Sets Pass Record
Otto has now faced San Francisco four times, and his record is 54 completions in 82 attempts, which means he hit two of every three. Yesterday his aerials were good for 222 yards, while his three touchdown scores put him ahead of the field in that department for the year with 18. The 18 break the conference record by one.
While athletes triumphed on the field, it also was a personal triumph for the coaching staff. Coach Paul Brown changed his pass patterns somewhat, having Lavelli and Speedie crossing behind the line of scrimmage, instead of heading for the side lines as they usually do. It completely confused the 49ers, who remembered the Brownie ends catching them close to the lines and stepping out before they were tackled in San Francisco.
It was the largest margin by which the Browns had ever whipped the 49ers, but it might have been closer had the invaders clicked a couple of times when they appeared headed for certain touchdowns.
49ers Strong on Ground
San Francisco presented its customary stylish running attack with Eshmont, John Strzykalski and Norm Standlee breaking through for substantial advances. And Albert, though not enjoying one of his better days, was good enough to make it interesting early in the contest.
But Albert fumbled once when the 49ers were within striking distance of a touchdown, and Standlee made the same error on another occasion. On Standlee's fumble the 49ers had reached the Cleveland 8-yard line.
The incident that turned the game into somewhat of a rout occurred on the fourth play of the second half when Albert had one of his passes intercepted by Colella on the 49ers' 47. Picking up his interference beautifully, Colella got to the 3-yard line when he bumped into one of his own men and dropped to the ground. Graham scored on the second try from there, making the count 22-7, and San Francisco never came back.
Cleveland started the scoring habit shortly after Marion Motley returned the opening kickoff 26 yards to the 31. The first three plays were passes, the third going to Speedie and accounting for 17 yards for a first down on the 41. Motley burst through the middle for 6 before Graham hit Speedie for 13 yards and another first down on San Francisco's 40.
Adams Kicks Field Goal
The attack stalled on the 37 and Adams took the field to send a high, arching kick over the goal posts to make it 3-0.
San Francisco came back immediately after and marched to Cleveland's 36, Standlee, Eshmont and Strzykalski alternating at carrying the ball. With a first down there, Albert attempted his first pass, but as he had his arm cocked back to make the throw, the ball slipped from his hand and Weldon Humble recovered on the 43.
The Browns got in motion again for the first touchdown. Before the touchdown was made, the Clevelanders made a six-pointer that doesn't get into the records because of a penalty. It was one of the prettiest plays on the day, Graham throwing a strike to the speeding Lavelli after freeing himself from a swarm of 49ers.
After the penalty the Browns were on the 42. From there, Graham passed to Edgar Jones for 12 yards. Mickey Mayne picked up 5 through the middle and Otto clicked on his first touchdown aerial to Lavelli. Dante had no trouble taking the perfect throw, since he had gotten into the clear in the end zone.
Fumble Halts the Drive
The 49ers marched to the Browns 8 after taking the next kick-off, but it was here that Standlee fumbled. The leather was recovered by Don Greenwood in the end zone, giving the Browns possession on their own 20. They couldn't advance this time, however, and Horace Gillom had to punt.
Strzykalski returned 14 to the 44 and the 49ers set sail a third time, this time going over. Albert completed three passes in the drive, the third going to Eshmont in the end zone from 8 yards out. Joe Vetrano kicked the point.
The Browns received and moved 81 yards to the score that made it 16-7 at the half. Jones carried the ball four times for 29 yards and Graham completed four passes on the drive to the 15. Otto's fifth success went to Lavelli in the corner of the end zone for the score. Thus the Browns had tallied on three of the four times they had the ball in the opening half.
They took the field prepared for that second-half attack that has characterized their other engagements with the 49ers. But it never developed after Colella's interception enabled them to run the score to 22-7
Graham-Lavelli Again
There never was any doubt seven plays later when they made it 30-7 on the third Graham-Lavelli maneuver. After Graham had made a 15-yard punt return to the 35 and Motley advanced one yard at center, Graham threw to Lavelli again.
When he reached he 12-yard line along his 40-yard journey, Dante was hemmed in by Alyn Beals very close to the sideline. He came to a stop as Beals charged in, and after Alyn went past, the Cleveland end continued on to a touchdown.
Jesse Freitas drove San Francisco to its second touchdown early in the fourth period when he completed two aerials to Ed Carr for gains of 22 and 17 yards and one to Beals for 10, putting the ball on the Browns' 5 from where Strzykalski went over left tackle for the tally.
Motley almost got into the clear twice for the distance as the Browns marched 76 yards for their final score, but halted after moving 18 and 8 yards. Graham's passes of course also figured prominently in this drive. One went to Lavelli for 10 another to Bill Boedeker for 12, and the third was taken by Speedie on the one-yard line, Mac stepping out of bounds after gaining 16 yards. It was here that Adamle plunged over.
- How are the Browns doing?

Troy has benefited from almost every major change of transportation through the
years. When the Miami-Erie Canal was built, it gave the city a boost. When the railroads ruled
America, they made Troy a vital stop. When Dwight Eisenhower's highway program swung into full
gear, Interstate 75 went right through Troy, and Interstate 70 is just a few miles south, putting
the city near one of the major road hubs in America.
When the airplane became the preferred mode of travel, Troy was just up the road
from a couple of brothers named Wright, who ended up inventing the airplane and putting Troy in
the center of a whole new mode of transportation. Dayton International Airport was built just 15
minutes away from Troy city limits. The 90-minute air market from Troy includes more than
half of all U.S. households, 70 percent of U.S. income and over 65 percent of U.S. manufacturing.
That means the people and businesses of Troy still can enjoy a small town
atmosphere while being only minutes away from major transportation centers.
It also means that Troy's residents are never far from the advantages and
attractions of major metropolitan areas. Columbus and Cincinnati are just an hour away; Indianapolis,
Detroit and Cleveland are among the other cities are an easy drive.
A 90 minute market that is unsurpassed in the US

After a lengthy downturn in workforce incentive travel programs, businesses are now starting to jump back into the pool. . . One of many organizations finding creative ways to incorporate incentive travel is DriveSavers, based in Novato, California, a leader among data recovery service providers. According to CEO Jay Hagan, Drive Savers offers incentive travel rewards because "we give our professionals the opportunity for experiences they will never forget; something that stays with them, and becomes a permanent part of their narrative."

In good times and bad, reward and recognition programs help excite and engage these major constituents who are responsible for achieving organizational performance. Although only part of the total mix, incentive travel -- group travel, individual travel, or motivational event – is unlike other reward and recognition programs. Incentive travel creates experiences other programs can't achieve. (October 2010) READ MORE>>
Motivational travel has long been recognized as a powerful business tool for helping organizations achieve key business objectives. However, most incentive industry research is limiting as historical efforts have only provided insights from the corporate user and provider viewpoints. Consequently, the results are frequently skewed to their point of view—what they perceive as their own needs, wants and preferences. This study is different.
The Incentive Travel Council partnered with the SITE International Foundation and Monmouth University to conduct this study on the Incentive Travel Participant Viewpoint. "The incentive industry has made strong strides over the past few years in better providing transparency into the business values achieved through incentive programs," said Jim Ruszala, past president of the Incentive Travel Council. "However, the industry is still starving for specific incentive travel based insights on ways to improve that business value by creating more meaningful, motivational and memorable experiences for its incentive travel participants."

How can any organization stay ahead of the game and ensure they're optimizing what can be achieved through effective incentive travel programs?Incentive Travel initiatives have proven themselves to be a tremendous and valued asset by assisting organizations in achieving business performance objectives. However, maintaining and growing the motivational drive achieved from participants will always remain a challenge. Competition, increasing audience expectations, diversity, and legislative pressures, are but a few of the influencers impacting the performance of these initiatives.

I really think that those who are complaining about Resident Evil 6 in comparison with past games should really replay those to remember how much they're the same. Even concerning dumb, bombastic, Michael Bay-ish stuff. I mean, RE4 had a giant stone statue-robot-thing pursuing Leon for god's sake!
I get that most people dislike it on it's own and some never did enjoyed RE4 and/or 5 in the first place, and that's fine. It's really weird, though, when comparisons are made to previous games, and how wonderful and perfect they were, as basis for criticizing RE6 when they're so much alike: the feel of the shooting, production values, tone of the story, obnoxious Quick Time Events... Or has everyone forgotten those awful "running away avoiding traps" parts of 5?
Yeah, it's probably bad that a 2012 game plays that much like 2005 and 2009 ones, and maybe those little sins aren't as easy to overlook today, but I was really shocked to see that Brad gave RE5 a perfect score. Have things changed that much since then? RE6 is probably worse for it's lack of focus, reworked melee system, contrived story and perhaps uneven pace, but not THAT much worse.

I'am 5 weeks now and the only things i have had was sore breast and i have been very tired,And dizzy at times. I have also had 2 kids and was sick by this time with both of them do maybe this time around it won't happen.posted 08/27/2007 by a BabyCenter Member
I have tested and got a neg. result but I'm pretty sure that I am pregnant. My period isn't due for another couple of days but I have been feeling terrible the last 3 days. I am tired in the middle of the day to the point where i'm falling alseep, nausous and upset stomach on and off throughout the day, frequent trips to pee, and some smells that never bothered me before are making me want to throwup. My boyfriend lit a cigerette this morning and I thought i was going to be sick. With my son i had these same symptoms about a week before the HPT came up positive. Im going to wait another couple of days then test again.posted 09/11/2011 by a BabyCenter Member
the more i read the more i think i'm pregnant! my fiance and i are "not trying not to get pregnant." my periods were always regular until John and i began dating. i've been tracking my period since last summer and my average cycle is 36 days (the longest cycle being 42 days from september to october). i am on day 36 now and should have started but i haven't. i've had many typical symptoms such as fatigue, irritation & aversion to smells (which is no fun when working in a restaurant). yesterday i felt what i thought was cramping briefly but i usually don't cramp til second day of my period. last night when i was going to bed my whole back ached and i asked john to rub it. the moment he put pressure on my back i was almost in tears because of the pain. because my periods have become irregular the last few months i'm trying not to get my hopes up but all signs are pointing to pregnancy. I am going to wait til the 14th (42 days into my cycle)to take a test; we're hoping for 2 pink lines!posted 02/08/2010 by pistolmaker
First month trying, so I have no idea what to look for. I felt like I was ovulating- sharp pain on one side- about a week or so after my period, then a week later had several days of very uncomfortable cramping, back aches, sore nipples(no enlarging or darkening though). Basal Body Temp didn't spike like I expected. Then after those several days, symptoms other than nipple soreness let up and my temp did go up. Now a week later and back is achy again and very mild mild cramping. No nausea. Negative pregnancy test today... still a week or so before I expect to start... fist month off of BC, so not sure of exact cycle. I don't think I'm pregnant, but have wishful thinking. Any thoughts?posted 11/28/2007 by a BabyCenter Member
I am about 5 weeks into my second pregnancy, I also have a 2 year old. I feel nauseous most of the day then I'll get hungry but feel sick after I eat. Sometimes when I'm sitting at my desk at work I feel "phantom kicks" I guess you could call them. The little flutters that you get in the early stages that just progressivly get stronger. Maybe I'm crazy but I do feel them, anyone else? or am I the only silly one one here?posted 09/04/2007 by preciouswinter
For the woman who is 6 weeks pregnant and extremely sick - Talk to your doctor about Zofran. Most doctors won't prescribe it unless you're an extreme case, but maybe you are. It's anti-nausea medication and it really saved me.posted 09/20/2007 by JvonElling
Kelly check out the site www.helpher.org. Not all "morning sickness" is just that. I had very severe sickness with both of my pregnancies and that site really helped. Anonymous asking about stomach tenderness. It is common. Your muscles and ligaments are stretching to hold your uterus and the baby. I freaked out with my son because of that and went to the ER for them to just laugh and shake their heads at me.posted 10/23/2007 by sweettater79
First pregnancy I was sensitive to smells and did not really want to eat. I even lost 1 lb and 1/2 in the first trimester. This pregnancy I feel sick, but don't vomit, but I am simultaneously starving. I want to eat all the time. It illeviates the nausea momentarily but comes back ans stays until I eat something again. The symptoms started at 4 weeks. Hope I don't get fat! A similarity is during both pregnancies I had sensitive breasts.posted 12/04/2009 by a BabyCenter Member
I'm only 4 1/2 weeks and the worst symptom is awful gas! My stomach gets so bloated I can't stand to have anything on my belly! Comfy pants for me! The belching is so not attractive. Also... really tender breasts... but the gas is definitely the worst!! Any suggestions to help?!posted 10/20/2009 by vrozzi123
I just found out i am prego about 5 wks and i also have cramps i thaught maybe something was wrong but most of the women i see have them mine are in my back and i also been burping alot and im not a burper i feel sick but no vomiting it feels like im car sick this is my 3rd and i should be used to it but it feel like its brand new.posted 12/29/2008 by MA'LISS KISS

Rusted Root On World Cafe
World Cafe revisits a 2002 studio session with Rusted Root as Sense of Place: Pittsburgh continues. The energetic, percussion-heavy band has become synonymous with the sound of the city. Formed in 1990, Rusted Root is a sextet featuring many instruments and styles; the group is known for blending acoustic rock with world music. Its percussion style is heavily influenced by the music of Africa, Latin America and Native America, while its lyrical content often touches on Christianity, Judaism and Islam.
In 1992, Rusted Root released its debut record, Cruel Sun. It wasn't until its second album, When I Woke, that the group began attracting national attention, particularly with the ubiquitous feel-good track, "Send Me On My Way." Wednesday's session was recorded around the time the group released Welcome To My Party, which came out four years after its self-titled album.

American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, June 4, 2004 No matter how many military operations have been, or will be, launched: To Americans, D-Day will always be June 6, 1944.
D-Day was the "Greatest Generation's" ultimate operation and represents a lasting legacy.
The invasion at Normandy code-named Operation Overlord was the largest amphibious operation in history. Planning took years and required massive amounts of shipping, aircraft, equipment, supplies and, most of all, personnel.
As we look back on the invasion, it can seem that the invasion was pre-ordained for success. Nothing could be further from the truth. It was a daring operation into the teeth of a well-entrenched enemy.
Many "what-ifs" could have doomed the Allied invasion. What if Hitler had realized early that the landings in Normandy were the main Allied efforts? What if German Field Marshall Erwin Rommel had the time to perfect the defenses on the beaches? What if Panzer divisions had arrived at the beaches the day of the invasion? What if the men of the 1st and 29th Infantry divisions hadn't fought and clawed their way off "Bloody Omaha" Beach?
These what-ifs-turned-into-certainty could have changed the course of history. Even with these what-ifs not being factors, the invasion's success was still not a sure thing. At nightfall on June 6, Allied commander Army Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower could only say that his forces had established a beachhead. Holding it was another story.
But the men of the American, British, Canadian and French forces fought tenaciously. Other men landed more supplies, more tanks, more artillery pieces and more fighting men. Thousands of those fighting men paid the ultimate price.
It is now 60 years later, and those young men that defeated the Nazi menace are now old. This anniversary could be their last large-scale celebration and remembrance.
As we look to the years ahead, D-Day June 6 is a date that later generations need to remember. The cause our fathers and grandfathers fought for needs to live on. And we need to celebrate the world they made and left for us to maintain.
The American cemetery above Omaha Beach is freedom's sacred ground. More than 5,300 Americans lie in honored glory in that graveyard and that's just a small portion of those killed in battle.
The row upon row of crosses and Stars of David should give every American an idea of the sacrifice that an earlier generation made on our behalf. They should also inspire this generation and all future ones to maintain the light of freedom handed to us.

School Notes:
Beginning in Foundations and continuing through a student's graduation from High School Prep, Trinity provides eight distinct Benefits to every child who steps through our doors: Embrace New Thinking. While other schools may prioritize the tenets of classical education ahead of all else – perhaps believing older must be better – Trinity inspires New Thinking among students through innovations in teaching and learning. Today's world demands New Thinking to solve its complex problems, and Trinity graduates will provide it.Participate in Your Child's Education. Trinity parents meaningfully participate in their child's education. Here, you are welcome to sit in on your child's classes, eat lunch with them in the cafeteria, or pray with your child and their classmates at weekly Chapel. Just as Trinity is a place for children to learn about mitochondria or art history, we are also a place for mothers and fathers to learn about their children.Learn More. We challenge our students to achieve their potential and then some. Thanks to managed class sizes, forward-thinking leadership, and a team of teachers that might just be the best in Phoenix, your child learns more at Trinity – more about academic fundamentals; more about Faith; more about service and citizenship; and more about themselves.Do the Right Thing. As a Lutheran school, we welcome Jesus into our classrooms and integrate His teachings into our curriculum. More than just lessons on a SMART Board, we embed Christian values that empower your son or daughter to do the right thing – to make the right decision when it matters most – even when others may encourage them to do something else.Think for Yourself. Liberated from "classical" or "traditional" methodologies, Trinity faculty adapt their individual teaching styles to how your student learns best. As a result, we equip your child to think for themselves – to see the world differently – because real life is never as simple as a standardized test.Believe in You. Whether academic achievement comes easily or with great effort, we enhance your child's self-confidence. From learning to collaborate with other boys and girls during the nurturing days of Preschool; to rapidly expanding his or her reading, writing and math abilities in the developmental years of Primary School; to fine-tuning study skills and advocating for their ideas in High School Prep, your child will graduate from Trinity believing in themselves.Thrive in Any High School. Trinity students thrive in Christian, Catholic, Public, Charter and Independent high schools throughout Phoenix. Academically sound, socially adept, humble but self-confident, our graduates stand out among their high school peers both inside and outside the classroom.Extend Your Family. Ours is a diverse community. We are Arizona natives and Midwest transplants; artists and soldiers; Lutherans, Catholics and Agnostics; and nearly every ethnicity created by God. But we laugh together after school at pick-up time; we cry together when life takes unexpected turns; we look out for one another's children as if they are our own; and we mean it when we say "It's good to see you" to another parent in the parking lot. More than a school, we are a family. Welcome home.

Fewer than half of Americans know Mitt Romney's a Mormon
Mitt Romney's Mormonism—a huge media talking point leading up to the Republican primaries—may not be as big of an issue with everyday Americans since most of them can't correctly identify his faith. Only four-in-ten people said that Romney is a Mormon in a recent survey by the Public Religion Research Institute and Religion News Service. […] [Read More]
Americans, MTV and abortion: Overlapping 'pro-life' and 'pro-choice'
Most Americans' views on abortion don't fit perfectly in the "pro-life" or "pro-choice" categories, and nearly three-quarters say it's ok disagree with their religion's teachings on the issue, recent research suggests. The Millennial generation sees teenage pregnancy through portrayals on MTV or movies, which have been shown to have a positive impact on support for […] [Read More]

4. The composition of claim 1, wherein said surfactant is selected from the group consisting of alkyl ether sulfates, betaines, ethoxylates, amides, and ethers.
5. The composition of claim 1, wherein said film former is selected from the group consisting of silicon based waxes, silicon polymers, polyquaternium 4 and mixtures thereof.
6. The composition of claim 1, wherein said emollient is selected from the group consisting of oils, fatty acids, fatty acid esters, and mixtures thereof.
7. The compositions of claim 3, wherein said plant is selected from the group consisting of lavender, rosemary, witch hazel, mimosa bark, chamomile, and mixtures thereof.
8. The composition of claim 1, and further including up to 0.5% by weight of tocopheral linoleate.
Traditionally, the cleansing and moisturizing regimen for the skin consists of a three-step process, comprising cleansing, toning and moisturizing. Each step requires a specific product, i.e. a cleanser, toner and moisturizer, and each requires a particular method of use.
Cleansers are designed to remove dirt, cosmetics, and the normal skin byproducts, such as sebum, dead skin cells, and the like. However, cleansers tend to leave residual materials on the skin, such as soap film and oily components.
Toners are designed to remove the soap residue and other potential pore clogging materials, while moisturizers serve to mimic the action of normal skin secretions in maintaining suppleness in the skin and provide a barrier to evaporation. The use of the moisturizer is necessitated by the removal of natural skin secretions by the cleanser and toner.
The use of the conventional cleansing-toning-moisturizing system requires the consumer to maintain stocks of three different products, learn the appropriate regimen for use of each individual product of the system and take the time to follow each specific regimen in its appropriate order.
Recently, there has been a desire for more convenience in personal care products which has been evidenced by increased sales of conditioning shampoos, breath freshening toothpastes, and other multi-functional products. The use of a single product which provides a multiple function saves the consumer both time and effort and possibly money.
The invention is directed to a multiple function cleansing conditioner for topical application, which comprises a water base containing a surfactant, an emollient, a cationic material, a film former, and a polyamino sugar condensate.
The surfactant is a cosmetically acceptable low irritancy-type which reduced surface tension on the skin, thus allowing dirt and oils to be washed away with water.
The emollient can take the form of oils, fatty acids, or fatty acid esters.
The cationic material, such as oleyl palmityl palmitoleyl keratin hydroxypropyl dimonium chloride lactate has a net positive charge and is attracted to human skin which carries a net negative charge, thus providing a smooth silky feel to the skin.
The film former, which can take the form of a silicone based wax, or a high molecular weight silicone polymer, produces a coating which remains on the skin after rinsing and thus aids in maintaining the polyamino sugar condensate, which is a skin moisturizer, on the skin.
The unique interaction of the cationic material, the film former, and the polyamino sugar condensate in a gentle surfactant base, provides both a cleansing and conditioning action for the skin.
Through use of the invention the consumer can maintain a stock of only a single product which will provide the multiple function of cleansing and conditioning. The use of a single product will require only one regimen of treatment or application.
Other objects and advantages will appear in the course of the following description.
The invention is directed to a cosmetic composition which incorporates both cleansing and conditioning action. In general, the composition has the following formulation in weight percent:
______________________________________10% to 40% Surfactant 1% to 15% Emollient 0.5% to 5.0% Cationic material 0.5% to 2.5% Film former 0.05% to 1.0% Polyamino sugar condensateBalance WaterThe preferred composition is as follows:15% to 35% Surfactant 2% to 10% Emollient 0.8% to 2.0% Cationic material 0.5 to 1.5% Film former 0.10% to 1.50% Polyamino sugar condensateBalance Water______________________________________
The surfactant is water soluble and is a type commonly used in cosmetic products, having low irritancy to the skin. Examples of surfactants which can be used in the composition are alkyl ether sulfates, such as sodium laureth sulfate; glycerides such as PEG-6 caprylic/capric glycerides; betaines such as cocamidopropyl betaine; ethoxylates such as PEG-10 soya sterol; amides such as cocamide DEA, myristamide DEA, or PEG-20 methyl glucose ether disteartate; and ethers such as Oleth-10 (sold by Croda, Inc.).
The emollients to be used in the composition are cosmetically acceptable types and can take the form of oils, such as olive oil, castor oil, mineral oil, silicone oil, such as cyclomethicone; fatty acid esters, such cetearyl palmitate or isopropyl-12-hydroxystearate, or mixed fatty alcohols, such as cetearyl alcohol.
The cationic materials provide substantivity to the skin, which in turn produces a smooth silky feel. Human skin tends to carry a negative charge and the positively charged cationic material is attracted to the skin and will remain in contact with the skin surface for a prolonged period of time. The cationic material preferably contains fatty acid moieties, i.e. oleic, linoleic, etc., which are known to be naturally present in the skin, and can also include keratin, lactic acid, amino acid, or phospholipid moieties. Specific examples of the cationic material which can be used are oleyl palmityl palmitoleyl, keratin hydroxypropyl dimonium chloride lactate, wheatgerm-amidopropyl dimethylamine hydrolyzed wheat protein, and guar hydroxypropyl trimonium chloride.
The polyamino sugar condensate is a skin moisturizing material and is the CTFA approved name for Aqualizer EJ sold by Kolmar Laboratories, Inc. Port Jervis, NJ.
The film formers produce a coating which remains on the skin after rinsing and the coating or film aids in maintaining the conditioning agents on the skin. The film formers also protect the skin from environmental conditions and aid in the retention of natural moisture within the skin. Specific examples of film formers that can be used are silicon based waxes, such as stearoxytrimethylsilane and stearyl alcohol; silicon polymers, such as dimethiconol; and cationic cellulose derivatives such as polyquaternium 4.
In addition to the above-mentioned ingredients, the composition can also contain from 5% to 15% by weight of botanical or plant extracts, such as lavender, rosemary, witch hazel, mimosa bark, and chamomile.
A small amount, up to an amount of 0.5% by weight of a material, such a tocopheral linoleate, can also be included which serves to enhance the moisturizing effect of the polyamino sugar condensate.
Also, small amounts up to 0.5% by weight of materials such as fragrances, preservatives, and colorants can be included in the composition.

I sit my daughter on the potty and she cries her eyes out. I ask her if she needs to potty, she always says no. She has constipation issues and is scared to poop, and she seems pretty happy with staying in a diaper.
I don't know what to do. How did you guys potty train your LO's?

Originally published in the August 2014 issue of Home & Textiles Today
Walmart and Bed Bath & Beyond have been nipping at each other's heels for the top spot in home textiles. Could one of them finally be pulling away?
Home Textiles Today's exclusive survey of the Top 50 home textiles retailers ranks the top U. S. retailers by sales of 2013 home textiles. All home textiles categories, bed, bath, kitchen, table linen and window coverings, including alternative window coverings, custom decorating and accessories that are generally sold with textile items, are included in the sales estimates. In order to be eligible for the ranking, each retailer must sell more than one home textile category.
This exclusive report also ranks the Top 10 retailers by 2013 sales of housewares. Housewares include small kitchen electrics, personal electrics, home environment electrics, cookware, bakeware, kitchen gadgets, storage and cleaning products.
All sales information, except for publicly held companies that break out line-of-business sales for home textiles and housewares, are Home & Textiles Today market research estimates. Sales figures are given for the 12-month period ending closest to December 31, 2013. Individual retailer descriptions include the date of the fiscal year end or the 12-month periods that deviate significantly from that date.
Sales estimates are based on information from a variety of sources including the companies themselves, public company filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, discussions with industry analysts and suppliers and published and unpublished reports, including newspaper articles in various retail trading areas.
This ranking is by no means comprehensive and does not represent the entire industry. More than the 50 home textiles retailers and the 10 housewares retailers listed are vital companies within the industry. Home & Textiles Today chooses not to include some companies due to lack of verification of sales figures.

Size It Up, Ship It Out
A very clever new site, Sizeasy.com, is working to fill a huge gap in online shopping–the freakin' 3rd dimension.
Not everything you buy online is like shoes: you've got sizes and you don't need to see them on your feet to make sure they'll fit properly. (Although, you may need to see if they'll match your underwear. In that case, problem almost solved.)
But, what if you need something that has no standardized sizing scheme and size still matters? (I heard that and it wasn't very funny.) For example, you need to buy a big box to hold your guitar effects pre-chained together so you don't spend 45 minutes before a gig plugging in DC wires while your drummer spits and spills beer all over your head. We all go through it, but it's an electrical hazard. The pedal board can put an end to our troubles.
So how will I know whether the pedal board I want could fit all my sonic gadgets? I could just do the arithmetic myself, but then I wouldn't have anything to blog about. So let's walk through an application of this happy little website…
I know I have a Digitech Whammy IV. It's the thing that weird rock guitarists like The Edge, Tom Morello, and Trey Anastacio use to make weird pitch bending sounds. I just go to the Digitech website, find the manual, get the dimensions (2.5″x6.3″x8″), then enter them into the Sizeasy website. Suddenly, a block the size of the pedal shows up.
Then I can go to the merchant page for the pedal that I want. Easily grab the dimensions from there, and enter them, too. Voila! There's an easy illustration available to help me decide if the pedalboard is going to hack it.
Now if only they could do this for oddly shaped items like my suitcase and Curious George, or my roommate's head and one of these.
That wasn't a shameless plug. I don't expect you to buy a new toilet because I linked you to it.
(Thank you LifeHacker.)

Read Poems by
Maya Kaabour
It is as if their odds were divided by zero,
The chances of me being "normal" are quite… impossible.
Look at me from different angles
And beware of my varied sides,
I cannot comprehend life's matters unless they've got a
Study - guide.
I am not cold-blooded! I am not alone!
This knowledge digs into my tissues and my bones.
My body is bound to free-fall.
But I will not step into my sepulcher until I…
Experiment it all!
Papers! Papers!
Nothing compares to the smell of a successful experiment's
Florid vapor.
It is the scent of home.
I know it all! Ah yes! I know it all!
These books shall not elude my hands
Until I wear that pall!
I draw my exes and find answers for my whys.
I can calculate the increasing velocity
Of people's lies.
I make the irrational seem rational and
My feelings might be fractional.
But what good could love offer me?
It does not value my "signs" or even solve my functions.
It does not re-collect the atoms of my being… It is not a junction!
What good could friends offer me?
They do not give me "pies" or even certainty!
Some wish to decrease my acidity…
Ignorant faces!
Equilibrium paces!
Action-reaction cases!
If only someone could lessen my "concentration"
Then perhaps I shall become dilute,
For I am nothing but an unwanted residue…
I am nothing but a science brute.

PAG's Stormwater Regulations Guidance for the Construction Industry
Managing stormwater flow on construction sites is required by state law to prevent erosion and transport of soils and contaminants. Controlling stormwater discharge is important to prevent harm to washes and fragile desert ecosystems in Arizona.
Stormwater management information and guidance is provided to the construction industry through Pima Association of Governments' semi-annual Stormwater Construction Seminars as well as upcoming efforts with our partner jurisdictions to provide tail-gate trainings and demonstrations on site.
Professionals in private and public sectors, including planners, designers, engineers, outreach personnel, regulators and inspectors are welcome to attend the seminar. Seminar participants receive Flood Plain Manager Continuing Education credits. The seminar provides an opportunity for business to interface with all the local and state regulatory agencies to understand their individual permitting requirements. Post construction stabilization methods, including rainwater harvesting practices, are shared as well. Resources provided by past seminars, including presentations, are available here.
Between seminars, you may contact one of your local MS4 contacts to request on site training. Contact information is available here. Operators can learn what is required under the Arizona Pollutant Discharge Elimination program and see examples of best management practices (BMPs) to include in Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans.
Highlights of the 2013 Seminar
Chris Henninger, Supervisor of the Stormwater and General Permits Unit at Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ), presented the updated Arizona Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (AZPDES) 2013 Construction General Permit (CGP). A panel of stormwater managers from the local jurisdictions within Pima County were available to answer questions.
Topics at the 2013 Seminar included: Stormwater discharges generated during construction activities can cause an array of physical, chemical and biological water quality impacts. The CGP authorizes stormwater discharges from construction-related activities where those discharges have a potential to enter surface waters of the United States or a storm drain system. Construction operators may continue to apply for stormwater permit coverage under the 2008 CGP, until the Department's approval and issuance of the 2013 CGP, effective June 3, 2013 (Updates: http://www.azdeq.gov/environ/water/permits/cgp.html).

I lean against the railing
Drinking in the setting sun
The breeze dances in my hair
The day will soon be done
I feel your arms around me
Your body pressed against mine
I lean back on your shoulder
Drink in your scent like wine
Your lips linger on my neck
I let out a gentle sigh
"Come inside, my sweet darling
Let the moon rise in your eyes.
I know I'm often busy
Love making seems so rushed
Tonight I'll take things slow
In a room tranquil and hushed."
You turn me round to face you
You claim me with a kiss
"Oh, come with me, my darling
Let me fill this night with bliss
You give me all that I want
You never withhold my due
Tonight, lie back, my darling
Let ME make love to you."
You carry me to our bed
And gently lay me down
I close my eyes and sigh
As your hands undress me now
"Just let me love and hold you
Let me ravish till morning light
In liquid warmth of sweetness
Is where I will pass this night."
I feel your hands caress me
I feel your lips of fire
I faintly hear your murmurs
As I'm taken by desire
Tenderly, gently, slowly
You tease my receptive mind
Knowing full well, it is there
My fantasies you will find
I listen and I follow
I surrender as I'm lead
Tonight you want to give
Tonight I will be fed
Passion has shut my eyes
Every touch...magnified
Your lips kiss away my tears
When in release I have cried
I finally resurface
Your hand toys with my damp hair
Your lips give a longing kiss
Of your need I'm now aware
I croon softly in your ear
"Let desire now take flight
Come in to me, my darling
Come now with the dawning light."

More than 100 pregnant ewes stolen from Roseland farm
Posted: June 03, 2014|
SOPHISTICATED thieves have stolen more than 100 pregnant ewes from a Roseland farm.
The sheep from Fentongollan Farm had been put out for the winter across farms in the local area.
In total 1,700 ewes had been put out last November but on their return this February for lambing it was discovered that more than 100 had gone missing.
Jeremy Hosking from the farm explained: "They went out to dairy farms in about November and they were all electronically tagged and all scanned before they went out.
"There were then pregnancy scans just before Christmas and all the right numbers were there then.
"They came back to the farm in mid February for the lambing season and that is when we noticed something was wrong.
"We were halfway through lambing when we noticed and at first I thought there must have been a mistake and that they had to be there somewhere.
"However we checked and found 102 were missing.
"I have to say we suspected that this might have happened before but were not able to prove it."
Mr Hosking said that the method used to take the ewes had been "sophisticated" as the offenders have taken 20 from different groups making it difficult to notice at first.
He said: "It has been cleverly done. It must have been done at night and they must have had dogs to help and by doing it this way it is not noticed immediately."
Mr Hosking added that those responsible must have known the farm and where it sends its ewes and the system it uses which he said was "worrying".
He also said that as the ewes had been taken in groups of 20 it was likely that an Ivor Williams trailer was used as that is the perfect size for such a group.
The livestock has been valued at more than £11,000.
But Mr Hosking said the ewes had greater value to the farm as they are part of a large breeding programme of Aberdale hybrid sheep which the farm has been running over the last three years.
He added: "It is really galling that a number of them have gone.
"You have losses in farming but theft leaves a real bitter taste."
Anyone with information about the theft should contact PC Neil Duckworth at Tregony Police Station using the 101 number and quoting crime reference CR/76393/14.

(June 6, 2012) -- Former McLennan Community College golfer Cole Howard shot 73-70 – 143 at the U.S. Open Sectionals on Monday at the Woodmont Country Club in Rockville, Md., to secure a spot in this year's U.S. Open to be held June 14-17 at the Olympic Club in San Francisco.
Howard was one of only seven players from the Woodmont sectional to secure a spot in the field of 78 for The Open. The sectionals are open to all players with a handicap index of 1.4 or better. This year, 9,005 players entered for a chance to make the field.
While playing for the Highlanders from 2004-06, Howard was a two-time NJCAA All-American and recorded nine top-10 finishes. He then transferred to the University of North Texas, where he had five top-5 finishes and recorded a 73.5 stroke average.
He began his professional golf career following his graduation from North Texas in 2008. He has played on the Adams Golf Pro Tour Series and the NGA Hooters Tours, claiming the 2011 Beaumont Open title, the only victory of his professional career. He also served as a graduate assistant at North Texas for one year and as a volunteer coach at MCC for three years.
Howard had to endure a long wait following his 36 holes on Monday to find out if he made the cut. Once he realized he was in, he immediately called his parents and then MCC coach Vince Clark.
"One of the biggest influences in my life, right after my father and my grandfather – I look at him as a friend, a brother, a dad," Howard said. "Going to McLennan was the best thing I ever did for my life, in general. Meeting him and the people down there were great."
Howard also plans to call on lifelong friend and fellow MCC golf alum Brian Mills to caddy for him at The Open.
"It should be a blast," Howard said.
Two other former MCC golfers have recently received honors. Nathan Anderson, a former NJCAA All-American playing at Texas Wesleyan University, was named a 2012 Jack Nicklaus recipient as the Golf Coaches Association of America's Collegiate Player of the Year in NAIA. He was also named a PING First-Team All-American and set the Texas Wesleyan record for single-season scoring average at 72.08. Former player and volunteer assistant Juan Salcedo was invited to compete in the British Amateur.

Today is the 60th anniversary of the death Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin. There are many ways to mark such an occasion, though you could hardly do better than this Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty photographic tribute to Stalin's victims. As the introduction notes, at the height of the purge period, Stalin's henchmen were executing 1,000 people a day. And the anniversary comes this year at a time when Stalin's vision for society, the fear and terror of totalitarian Communism, lives on in North Korea.
Recalling Stalin's crimes is important, if repetitive, because it seems to be what the world failed to do with Stalin's mentor, Vladimir Lenin, who created the system maximized by Stalin and who should also be remembered as a monstrous criminal, only one with fewer victims than his protégé. At any rate, one person who has chosen the wrong way to remember Stalin's death and legacy is exactly who you might expect it to be: Vladimir Putin. Reuters reports:
Support for Stalin has risen in Russia since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 gutted the social safety net, damaged national pride and left many Russians longing for the perceived order and stability of the Communist era.
But Lev Gudkov, director of independent Levada Center polling group, said the biggest shift occurred after Putin came to power in 2000 and "launched a comprehensive program to ideologically reeducate society".
"Reeducate" is certainly an appropriate term for the ruse. And how successful have Vladimir Putin's efforts to clean up the image of a tyrannical murderer been? He's made some progress:
In the same poll, 47 percent of respondents said Stalin was "a wise leader who brought the Soviet Union to might and prosperity". And in a Levada poll last month, 49 percent said Stalin played a positive role, while 32 percent said it was negative – roughly the opposite of a 1994 Survey….
Nowadays, efforts to debunk the criticism and clean up Stalin's image are a fixture of bookshop shelves, and school notebooks decorated with Stalin's photo went on sale last year – something unthinkable at that time.
In Volgograd, the city where Putin celebrated the 70th anniversary of the 1943 Battle of Stalingrad last month, local authorities now allow the city to be referred to by its old name at annual anniversary events and on five other days every year.
It should go without saying—though Putin's antics suggest that it does not—that the Soviet Union's disintegration in 1991 is still a relatively recent event by historical standards, and that Russians are ill-served by any effort to keep them bound up in the lies of Putin's imagination. In the July 2012 issue of COMMENTARY I reviewed Leon Aron's book on the fall of the Soviet Union, and mentioned that Aron critiques the poison that Putin injects into the bloodstream of a still-recovering nation by whitewashing the crimes of its past.
Aron writes in the book of the great responsibility on the shoulders of the political leaders who inherit any revolution. The public, after all, must go back to some semblance of normal life for the new state to have a chance. "People have to make a living, to care for families, and so they leave the public square to the political class, which at this early stage cannot be but a moral centaur: half forward-looking human and half beast of the past," Aron writes. Here is Aron's description of the process that Putin has interrupted:
One could, with greater or lesser precision, assess the damage to Russian culture from everything that was blown up, burnt, lost, thrown out, and spoiled under the Soviet regime, the writer Boris Vasiliev wrote in January 1989. From the starved-to-death great poet Alexander Blok to those who were lost to Russia because of forced emigration: Bunin and Rakhmaninov, Repin and Chaliapin, Shagal and Kandinsky. But who, Vasiliev asked, could ever calculate the moral loss inflicted by the regime? Those who led the moral revolution were well aware of the vastness of the distance that must be traveled before their work was completed. As the sociologist Vladimir Shubkin wrote in April 1989 in the leading liberal magazine Novy mir: "We have miles to go before the public morality is restored … before we even approach what might be called the moral Renaissance." He was right, of course. Sixteen years later Vladimir Putin–then a mere president, soon the "National Leader"–called the demise of the Soviet Union the greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the twentieth century.
Pundits have, in recent years, grown noticeably impatient with those who bring up the Cold War past, and implicit (and sometimes explicit) in their disinterest in the topic is the question of why it is necessary to again recount what the West fought to defeat in the Cold War. The attempt to even partially rehabilitate Stalin's legacy is one answer that sadly, in 2013, still bears repeating.

This coming weekend I am making home versions of commercial desserts: Oreos, Hostess cupcakes, and--with some help--fried fruit pies.
I have never made fried pies, period. I am looking for some help with berry pies and/or lemon. The lemon in particular is leaving me confused. Would it be as simple as making the filling for a lemon pie? Does it need a little extra cornstarch to make for better out-of-hand eating? Anyone else foolish enough to have done this?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
