Jury convicts suspect for retaliation
Waynemon Demount Bullock, a 25-year-old from Henderson, was convicted Thursday by a federal jury of retaliating against a federal witness.
Bullock was investigated by the Henderson Police Department and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
According to a statement from U.S. Attorney Thomas Walker, Bullock assaulted the witness on Oct. 5 of last year. The witness had testified in front of Senior Judge James Fox.
Bullock and a co-defendant approached the witness at a Henderson convenience store, accused the witness of being a "snitch" and beat the witness.
Bullock was recently released form the N.C. Department of Corrections prior to assaulting the victim.
Bullock could face a maximum of 20 years imprisonment at sentencing.
Investigators and prosecutor Katherine Burnette moved the case through the Project Safe Neighborhoods initiative, which encourages federal, state and local agencies to cooperate in a unified "team effort" against gun crime, targeting repeat offenders who continually plague their communities.

My favorite flavor, don't change a thing
Love that it comes in a fifty pack! Thank you so much Starbucks, keep on trucking!
I literally am never without VIA, EVER. Being able to buy it in a bigger container is fabulous.
Product is outstanding , delivery isn't. It is not as prompt as I believe it could be.
I purchased the Via packets for my mom, who is a Starbucks fan. She was very excited to receive it. She loves her coffee, and Starbucks is a treat for her.
It's so quick and easy to make my first cup of coffee in the morning. Plus it tastes great.
This was an awesome purchase. I didn't know Starbucks even sold the Via packs in a 50 bundle. We do a lot of traveling and I love the convenience of being able to have a Starbucks instantly instead of bad hotel coffee or restaurant coffee. This way I start my morning off right. And I don't have to make a whole pot.
This is the way I am going to buy Via from now on, in the LARGE packs !! Thank you Starbucks. Oh yes,,,,they are so much cheaper this way also.
My mornings are super rushed so it's really nice to grab my reusable Starbucks cup, my via packet and head out the door. Once I'm settledat work I can quickly and easily make a great tasting cup of coffee with just a little hot water. You still get the great taste of a brewed cup of coffee. I was very excited to order a 50 pack online. These will last me a long time!
I tried the supermarket coffees and just had to toss them in the garbage.
Went online and asked for BEST INSTANT COFFEES, your Colombian brand was on the top five list, at a price about five times higher than the cheap ones I had tried. I ordered it, tried it, and never looked back. I'm hooked for life. You get what you pay for, and you just proved it again.
It's not cheap, but it's very good. Love it!

Vision College ni selalu fully-booked. So it was quite hard for us to set an appointment.
What was it like??? :D
It was a fantastic experience! :D :D :D Walaupun yang scan tu student (Only qualified students), tapi memang best coz HE did everything he could and did his best to try to get the best pictures possible. Yes, you read that right – HE! Benda ni I terlepas pandang. I rasa boleh kot kalau you nak student perempuan yang scan. But you have to inform them earlier, masa set appointment tu. I personally prefer perempuan yang buat. But to set another appointment was not possible and impractical.
Masa tengah scan tu, he explained everything I was looking at and showed me Cik Baby's nose, chin and eyes. He also gave me a chance to listen to the heartbeat! :D
Anyway, the scanning process lasted 30-45 minutes and I could continually watch Cik Baby on a monitor screen BESIDE the bed. (This is the only downside coz my neck was cranking!) Kalau screen tu letak at the end of the bed, mesti best!
"Eh Kak... Tak takut ke tengok tiba-tiba mata dia bukak besar! Hehehe... Belum lagi... Most babies belum bukak lagi sekarang ni..."
Budak tu nama Arif ke Afiq entah. Ala-ala gituhhh... ^_^
Price? Dulu RM60. Now dah naik RM90. I got a CD (pictures and videos) of her movements and measurements in the form of a presentation. Almost 50 pictures! The photos and videos will definitely be treasured forever. :D I'd really recommend it. Well worth the money!
Here is the website of the college. Do click for address, contact number, operation hours and map. (Btw, it is closed on weekends).
I dok wonder..., apa beza 2D, 3D, and 4D ni? So google, dapat ni...
"2D mean 2 dimensional scan, this is the most important scan that the doctor all over the world used to do all the parameter measurements for the baby in order to access the well being of the baby. With 2D scan as well, we can see the structures inside the fetal body (detail scan). 3D scan means add the 3rd dimention so that the picture can be seen as 3 dimensional picture, it need the doctor to do the scan as 2D and the computer will process the 2D info and reconstruct the picture. 4D scan means real time 3D scan which add another dimension, real time."

Two years ago I was in the board of my study association. When we moved to another location about half a year ago within our building the clock we had didn't fit in the new interior. They bought another clock which I didn't like. So there was only one thing to do. Make my own with the logo of my sub association(some kind of fraternity).
Step 1: Materials
- white paint
- old clock
- steel strips/steel plate
- silicon coalk
- angle grinder
+ grinding disk
+ sanding disk
- MIG welder
- wood saw
- metal file(rounded)
- wrenches(depending on your clock)
- wood-drill
- Japanese chisel(optional)
Step 2: Design
In the study associations workshop were lots of steel strips so I wanted to use them. The new room was decorated in a modern style and there was a stroke of concrete visible where I thought the clock would look good. At this point I made a design in photoshop were I would work with. After creating the first metal parts I adjusted the design to the design below.
Step 3: Metal fabrication: welding
In order to look good, I arranged the strips in such a way they sort of alligned with the specific part of the logo. At this point everything was made roughly to the correct shape. Later on I added several small strips to reinforce or for better looks. All strips, from one part of the logo, were 'spot' welded together.

Tucson Fire Foundation Casino Night
The "Casino Night" fundraiser at the Arizona Historical Society is intended to raise funds to sustain current Fire Foundation initiatives: local fire service culture and history, as well as Firefighter Health and Wellness, including educational programming, Firefighter Cardiac Disease Assessment, Firefighter Fitness and Injury Prevention, and the upcoming "Firefighters to Israel" delegation. The objectives of the delegation are many, and include: creating a platform for the mutual sharing of international departments' ideas, philosophies and procedures; collecting "best practices" from other countries, and bringing them back to metropolitan Tucson to enhance our delivery of services; developing a citizen diplomacy program for Tucson- area firefighters; and creating a long-lasting linkage between the host country and Tucson area fire agencies. Other areas of interest include: becoming a catalyst for progressive and visionary change within the American fire service; assisting in the training and application of new technologies with regional fire service and first responder personnel and affected citizen populations; and improving employee and organizational performance by experiencing best practices. Additional objective include: pursuing innovative ideas for new approaches to governmental issues, emergency preparedness, disaster response and mental health of professional and civilians; as well as establishing an ongoing, sustainable multiyear commitment with other international agencies and regional participants. The Fire Foundation Board of Trustees and staff members are all volunteers who are deeply committed to "taking care of those who take care of us." All Foundation volunteers are highly accomplished in their respective fields – including, most notably, Golder Ranch Fire Chief Randy Karrer, who was recently named Arizona Fire Chief of the Year. Chief Karrer's passion for the fire service, and compassion for the firefighters played a role in his receiving the prestigious award. These attributes also make it an honor to have Chief Karrer on the Foundation Board. Please join us for dinner and a silent auction, we hope to see you there!

Between now and the Supreme Court's ruling on Obamacare in June, we're sure to see a lot of these attacks on the supposedly activist conservative court. The Wall Street Journal editorial board did a good job yesterday skewering the idea that overturning the mandate would be an example of judicial activism, but if the court strikes down the mandate or full law as many have speculated, the "activist" argument is really the only card the Democrats can play.
Rep. James Clyburn (D-S.C.) said President Obama should campaign against the Supreme Court, painting it as a conservative, activist institution if it rules that the administration's healthcare law is unconstitutional.
"In terms of the Congress, I believe that it would be off-base for us to do that, but for the president, I don't think it is," Clyburn said on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" on Monday. "I think the president ought to take a look at what happened in years before — we've seen presidents run against Congress and we've seen presidents run against the Supreme Court. Franklin Roosevelt did it to the Supreme Court; [Harry] Truman did it to the Congress."
Obama probably isn't looking to Clyburn for campaign strategy, but the congressman's comments do provide insight into the liberal mindset at the moment. The Supreme Court went into the Obamacare hearings with record low approval ratings of just 28 percent in the latest Rasmussen, and perhaps the Wall Street Journal is right that the criticism of the court is purely a public lobbying effort by the left – a warning to Justice Kennedy that his legacy hangs in the balance and an appeal to Chief Justice Roberts' supposed sensitivity about the public image of his court.
On the other hand, liberals may actually have an appetite for an anti-SCOTUS campaign led by the president next fall, especially as their anger about the Citizens United ruling still hasn't ebbed. But even with the court's low approval rating, this seems like an ill-advised strategy. Obama's health care law is unpopular, and the majority of Americans believe it's unconstitutional. If the Supreme Court also takes that position in June, then Obama attacking the justices for it on the campaign trail isn't going to be very helpful.

With Halloween just around the corner, many of you may be just days away from a major candy glut. Perhaps your kids will bring home a prodigious haul.

If Candy Bar salad sounds like some sort of new fangled concoction, think again! Candy Bar Salad has been kicking around since at least 1926 as this Ladies Home Journal advertorial for Oh Henry! candy bars shows. In this adaptation I've pared it down to the basics: tart Granny Smith apple slices, Snickers pieces, caramel drizzle, and homemade whipped cream—no lettuce leaves, mayo or Cool Whip required! More

Except for two barbacoa tacos at Gerardo's—more on that later—those three bucks were the best I spent all week. More

When I was a kid, the simpler a candy bar was, the better. My favorite? 3 Musketeers. Soft, chocolaty, and not at all complicated—what wasn't to love? 3 Musketeers and I grew apart; and eventually, I gave up on drugstore candy bars for good. Until, of course, it became my job to know as much as I possibly could about chocolate. Between that and my penchant for new, shiny things (ooh, NEW!), I naturally couldn't resist when I saw three(!) different versions of 3 Musketeers staring me in the face at my local drugstore. More

Photograph from Svadilfari on Flickr There is something so frustratingly natural about the Cadbury Creme Egg. Nothing, of course, about its flavoring, but about its cycle. Like all other naturally occurring things, it is born in spring and then grows into something less adorable. One can only suspect it ends up as a peanut butter pumpkin around October and makes its final appearance as a gold foil-wrapped hard block of Christmas-tree-shaped chocolate at the end of the year. Such is life, and aging is difficult even for chocolate.

I am thinking about window coverings for our master bedroom....1) Could I do curtains in the master bedroom? Do I have to do curtains in the master bath too or ca I do something different?2) If I do curtains in the master bedroom, do I have to do curtains in all other rooms? Any input would be much appreciated.Thanks!
Hi, peonygirl!
You definitely don't need to do curtains in the bathroom as well — as long as the design itself flows between the two through things like colour schemes, aesthetic, etc. it should be fine. (Here's an example where Cameron MacNeil gave a principal bedroom curtains, but both the bedroom and adjacent bathroom have blinds: http://houseandhome.com/tv/segment/serene-principal-bathroom-bedroom-mak...
Also, I definitely wouldn't rush to give all your rooms curtains unless you felt you actually wanted them in all the rooms.

The Student virtual machine provides access to a consistent Windows computing environment for students complete with software, updates and MIT specific configurations.
Things To Know About Your VMware Image
One: Store data in My Documents folder or on Desktop.
Data should not be stored within the Virtual Machine, as there is no good mechanism for backing up data stored in the VM itself. To make it easy to store data on your host machine, the Virtual Machine has been configured, so that when you access My Documents or the Desktop, you are accessing the Documents and Desktop of your host machine. This is called mirroring, and allows data to be stored on the host machine, where it can be included in regular backups.
Caution: Files deleted from the Virtual Machine Desktop or My Documents folder will be deleted from the Macintosh Desktop or Documents folder as well.
Mirroring must be manually enabled when the VM is run on a Windows Host:
Q: How do I enable Mirroring in my Student VM?
Two: We recommend against overly customizing this environment.
Standard troubleshooting practice will be to download a new copy of the Virtual Machine. When you delete the previous copy of the Virtual Machine, all customizations and data will be lost, including additional software that has been installed. Before deleting any previous Virtual Machine, see: Steps to take before deleting a Virtual Machine.

Industry price declines impact Semprius
Because of a global decline in solar panel prices and a difficult investment market, Durham-based Semprius downsized staffing levels last year, officials with the company confirmed.
But Scott Burroughs, vice president of technology for Semprius, also said the company believes solar panel prices and the investor market have improved. The company is looking to close on financing this fall that he said is expected to help boost the company's production capacity and move it toward its profit targets.
"I think we've lived through this valley of darkness, and now it's just a matter of, over the next few months, trying to close this (financing) out; we do anticipate closing in the third quarter," said Semprius CEO Joe Carr.
The Durham-based company makes solar modules that it says are unmatched in cost and performance. It makes what's known as "high-concentration" solar photovoltaic modules.
They differ from traditional solar technology in that they concentrate sunlight onto small solar cells –about the size of a pencil point in Semprius' case -- to more cost-effectively use the semiconductor material that makes up the cells.
The company launched a pilot production plant in Henderson after receiving commitments for a $600,000 grant from the state, and up to $3 million in tax benefits. The company had planned to create 256 jobs over five years there.
The pay-out of both the grant and tax benefits were contingent on the company's meeting hiring and other performance targets. Kim Genardo, a spokeswoman for the commerce department, said that to date "no state money has been approved for this project."
Burroughs said the company's downsizing was a result of price decreases across the industry, and due to a "very difficult" fundraising environment. The company has not released the size of the downsizing. Carr said the downsizing affected both Henderson and Durham.
"A lot of investors, particularly venture capitalists, have moved on to other investment areas besides solar," Burroughs said.
According to a report from IBISWorld Inc., the U.S. solar panel industry saw a rapid fluctuation in prices in the five years prior to 2014. Government incentive programs helped boost the industry in 2009 and 2010, but prices dropped in 2011. Low-cost panels, mostly from China, flooded the market, according to the report.
Company revenues followed the price declines, according to the report. The report expects many unprofitable companies to get out of the business in the next five years.
But Burroughs said Semprius officials believe the climate for investments in solar has improved, and prices are increasing.
"The problem is that over the last four or five years, solar has gotten a very bad name in the investment community," Carr said. "We have seen a dramatic turn in interest in funding of solar now," he added.
The money they are looking to close on in the fall would finance capital equipment to allow the company to increase the plant's production capacity and cover operating and research and development expenses, Burroughs said.
Until the company has raised that investment capital, he said Semprius is using bridge loans to help finance its operations.
"I'll be honest – it's a difficult environment, but because prices are starting to increase and volumes are starting to increase," Burroughs said. "We're starting to see the climate finally starting to improve from an investment standpoint."
Semprius officials consciously chose not to get into the market in a "big way," he said. The company started production, but at a low volume. Right now, Carr said they have 14 demonstration systems installed globally. Carr said they're looking to increase their capacity at the Henderson plant to be able to turn out panels that can produce 100 megawatts, and once they hit that mark, they'll be competitive with Chinese manufacturers on a dollar-per-watt basis.
"We are confident that once we get to scale, we will be able to compete with the Chinese imports and in fact, we will be able to beat them on a dollar-per-watt basis, which will lead to even more revenue," Burroughs said. "The challenge for us is simply completing our fundraising."
Finlay Colville, vice president at the solar market research firm SolarBuzz, said in an email that Semprius was affected by the price declines of conventional solar cells, even though the company is a maker of the non-conventional, high-concentration photovoltaic models. Colville leads the solar market research firm's team of analysts who track the photovoltaic solar market.
Colville said that's because the "whole proposition" from companies developing concentrator solar cells – which focus sunlight to a smaller area, requiring less silicon semiconductor material in each cell – was that the price of silicon was very high a few years ago.
"In the last few years, silicon price has come down an order of magnitude," he said. "Therefore using less silicon is no longer a big deal - in fact it's a very much smaller part of the overall module costs."
Although the concentrator cells are "still very niche," he said, there is a market for that cell for certain applications, such as space-based uses, and for locations that receive strong sunlight.
But Carr said that even though the price of silicon has fallen, the company is still competitive on price. He said that because of the design of their technology, they use a 1/1000th of the amount of the material in a standard photovoltaic module, the cost is a tenth of the cost of a standard silicon module. And they're working to make their cells and modules as a whole more efficient.
"With the funding that we're gaining traction on now, we'll be profitable," Carr said. "Our challenge has been to get over the stigma of solar that's been generated over the last couple of years to convince investors that we are, in fact, different."

Rangers open series against Rays with 5-4 victory
A.J. Pierzynski and Mitch Moreland hit consecutive home runs off birthday boy Jeremy Hellickson and the Texas Rangers held on for a 5-4 victory over Tampa Bay in their series opener Monday night.
After Pierzynski's first homer for Texas, a two-out solo shot in the fourth that made it 2-1, Moreland pulled a 428-foot shot deep into the Texas bullpen in right-center field.
Alexi Ogando (2-0) allowed only one run on three hits but needed 89 pitches to get through 5 1-3 innings. The right-hander walked three and struck out two five days after getting a career-high 10 strikeouts in 6 1-3 innings at Houston.
Joe Nathan, Texas' fifth pitcher, gave up a run in the ninth, but still got his second save this season and 300th of his career.
Hellickson (0-1), who turned 26, gave up three runs and five hits over five innings. He needed 30 pitches to get out of the first, including a nine-pitch leadoff walk by Ian Kinsler, and threw 98 pitches overall.
Elvis Andrus, in a 2-for-18 slide before singling in the fifth, added a two-run single in the Rangers seventh for a 5-1 lead.
Pierzynski became the seventh different player to homer for the Rangers in their seven games. Moreland then hit his second homer of the season, part of his three hits against the Rays after going 2 for 21 the first six games.
Even though Kinsler got caught stealing in the first, Texas went up 1-0 when Lance Berkman scored from first base on Adrian Beltre's two-out bloop double. Left fielder Sam Fuld made a diving attempt to catch the ball, which instead went under his glove and rolled behind him.
Tampa Bay got even in the second. Evan Longoria drew a leadoff walk in the second, and scored when second baseman Kinsler made a throwing error when trying to complete a double play.
Yunel Escobar reached second base on that misplay. But Escobar didn't score in part because of a running, over-the-shoulder catch by right fielder Nelson Cruz only steps from the wall for the second out, a play that had third-base coach Tom Foley shaking his head in disbelief.
Longoria was 3 for 3, all singles, including one in the eighth when the Rays loaded the bases and scored twice. He is hitting .417 (10 of 24) with only singles and is longer into any previous season before his first home run.
Ogando, an All-Star starter in 2011 before working out of the bullpen last season, got into the sixth before walking Ben Zobrist and giving up another single to Longoria.
Joe Ortiz, the 22-year-old rookie lefty who is only 5-foot-7, got out of that jam with a pair of grounders and then worked a 1-2-3 seventh.
Hellickson pitched on his birthday for the second year in a row. On his 25th birthday, his 2012 debut, he pitched 8 2-3 scoreless innings in the Rays' 3-0 win over the New York Yankees.
NOTES: Beltre, the Gold Glove-winning third baseman, started the game with a standout play. He was up on the grass when Desmond Jennings hit a shot down the line. Beltre dove at an angle going backward to make a backhanded stab, then got up and threw out the leadoff hitter. ... Tampa Bay's first error of the season came in the second inning when 2B Zobrist was unable to snag Pierzynski's grounder. ... Nick Tepesch, a 24-year-old right-hander, will be called up for the Rangers to start in his major league debut Tuesday.

1,500 attend governor's Easter egg hunt
The lawn around the state Capitol was hopping with about 1,500 egg-collecting children Wednesday as Gov. Bob McDonnell and first lady Maureen McDonnell held Virginia's first "Governor's Easter Egg Hunt."
Just as the U.S. president traditionally opens the White House grounds for an Easter egg roll, the McDonnells invited children to participate in their free event at Capitol Square.
The McDonnells formally greeted their guests after exiting the Executive Mansion accompanied by the Easter Bunny, Smokey Bear, Virginia Commonwealth University's Rodney the Ram, the Richmond Flying Squirrels mascot Nutsy and several other costumed characters.
"I want to especially thank the first lady and her staff – all of the people from the First Lady's Initiatives Team Effort – for their great planning," Gov. McDonnell said.
He singled out "Sarah Scarbrough, the mansion director, who's been putting Easter eggs together for about three months, I think."
After the event, Scarbrough called the egg hunt a success. "We'd love to see it become another Virginia tradition," she said.
Eight thousand plastic eggs had been placed all over the lawn of Capitol Square, designated for children of different ages – with some eggs apparently containing more impressive treasures than others.
The eggs for the event had been donated by the Science Museum of Virginia, the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, Bow-Tie Cinemas and other organizations, according to a press release issued by Mrs. McDonnell.
Students from The Steward School, a college preparatory school in Henrico County, painted the faces of egg-hunters for free. Music and mild weather accompanied the late-afternoon and early-evening festivities as the governor and the first lady mingled with a long line of guests and friends. They included VCU President Michael Rao, his wife Monica and their two children.
Some attendees were displeased, however, with the first-time jamboree.
"It was unorganized," said Delethia Agyeibi, a mother of two. "When the governor said, 'Go!' or whoever said, 'Go!' everybody went – and they didn't acknowledge the times and the ages for each set area."
Agyeibi's children expressed disappointment at not having won any special "prize eggs." But they smiled at the eggs they did manage to gather.
As part of the first lady's Serving Our Service Member Families effort, the McDonnells encouraged guests to bring "baby shower gifts for expectant military moms." Mansion staff and volunteers set up boxes for these items around the Capitol grounds, and most of them were full by the end of the two-hour-long event.
Children were able to write thank-you cards to members of the military at a booth provided by the United Service Organizations, as well as create bracelets with supplies provided by the Science Museum of Virginia.
"We all agree that trying to come together and do what's best for Virginia, trying to solve problems, is the thing that makes Virginia really a great state," Gov. McDonnell said.
"Enjoy this time with your family. Have a celebration for the great blessing that God has given us as Virginians and Americans and do the things that you want to do to have fun."
Several state agencies helped with the event. They included the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, the Virginia Foundation for Healthy Youth, the Virginia State Police, the Virginia Tourism Corp. and the Virginia Egg Council.

There's one obvious reason why many people visit the world's Mecca of gambling in Las Vegas and that is ….casino gaming . And with so many casinos and different casino games offered in the city it certainly makes sense to visit Sin City for gambling purposes. But there are also other reasons besides gambling that some people choose to fly hundreds or even thousands of miles to stay in Las Vegas for.
And many of these reasons revolve around the experience that the city offers casino gamers that goes beyond the simple act of wagering money. The hotel that a person chooses to stay in definitely adds to this experience too. Otherwise, why would a person go to Las Vegas only to stay in some dive motel where they're more likely to be greeted by a cockroach than a lover in bed? Keeping this pleasant thought in mind, let's take a look at some of the best and most lavish hotels that the city has to offer.
The Bellagio
Many gamblers may have heard about The Bellagio casino as it's known for its high stakes poker room called Bobby's Room. But there's more to The Bellagio than just its poker scene as this resort has an exceptional pool, sweet locker rooms, great changing facilities as well as glamorous hotel and casino rooms. High rollers will especially love The Bellagio casino since they can get their own private playing room if they have a high enough bankroll.
MGM Grand
If you're willing to spend a grand, or more, at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas casinos you can get one of their coveted Skyloft rooms. The Skylofts are located on the penthouse floor and offer absolutely amazing views plus every need you might have is taken care of by the staff. Going beyond the Skylofts, the MGM Grand also offers some top-of-the-line restaurants such as Wolfgang Puck, Pearl, and Emeril's.
New York-New York
Las Vegas isn't all about glamour and fancy dining as the New York-New York casino provides its guests with a really thrilling experience. The amusement park-like rides such as the Manhattan Express Roller Coaster definitely create some excitement, while kids will enjoy visiting places like the M&M store and the rock climbing facility located across the street from the casino & hotel area.
Wynn Las Vegas
Before billionaire Steve Wynn came along with his vision for a resort & casino, it would've been impossible to imagine a golf course ever existing on the Vegas Strip. Now the impossible has come to life and that's not all, as every room offered at the Wynn creates an unforgettable experience for the guests with polished floors and fancy furniture helping them to live the good life.
A true family experience can be found at the Ritz-Carlton in Las Vegas casinos, or rather close by Las Vegas casinos. The Ritz-Carlton casino and hotel is located 17 miles away from Sin City but offers shuttles to and from Las Vegas as well as a host of activities. Day camp is provided for children, fly fishing is available, craft lessons are taught here, and hiking is also an option. Further adding to the allure of the Ritz-Carlton is its beach which is located right next to a great swimming area.
Caesars Palace
Sports gambling is definitely embedded into the culture of Las Vegas and no place is better for the sports bettor than Caesars Palace. The Roman inspired casino has one of the largest sportsbooks in the world and guests can walk just a short ways over to club Pure for some nightlife, provided their attire meets the standard for getting in. Plus the hotel rooms aren't too shabby either and are very affordable for the average person.

STONY BROOK, N.Y. -- Katie Leland (Timonium, Md.) recorded three goals and five assists to propel the University of New Hampshire women's lacrosse team to Saturday afternoon's 19-4 America East victory against Stony Brook University at LaValle Stadium.
UNH, which defeated Stony Brook 19-3 last year, won its fifth consecutive game to improve to 6-4 overall and 1-0 in America East. SBU is now 4-5, 0-2.
Kristin Blanchette (Sudbury, Mass.; three goals) quickly gave the Wildcats a 1-0 lead with a goal 35 seconds into the game and Jess Burnap (New Canaan, Conn.) netted the first of her four goals in the game 19 seconds later for a 2-0 advantage. Jill Albee (Pembroke, N.H.; two goals) and Sarah Cahill (Lexington, Mass.; three goals) also scored in the opening four minutes to produce a 4-0 lead.
Danielle Werner (three goals) put the Seawolves in the scoring column at 7:45, but tallies by Cahill and Blanchette extended UNH's lead to 6-1 with 12:16 remaining in the first half. Werner struck again less than a minute later but SBU would get no closer the rest of the way as Kelly Blaney (Stony Brook, N.Y.) and Burnap struck 17 seconds apart for an 8-2 advantage.
Leland, whose five assists and eight points are both career highs, capped the first-half scoring with unassisted goals at 21:54 and 26:41 to push New Hampshire's lead to 10-2 at halftime. Leland has amassed 16 goals and 14 assists for 30 points during UNH's five-game unbeaten streak.
Burnap netted goals 48 seconds apart to open the second-half scoring and keep momentum in UNH's favor through the second stanza.
UNH starting goalie Stacey Plati (Nashua, N.H.) stopped five of seven shots in the first half to earn the victory. Julie Bevad (Sea Cliff, N.Y.) made one save and surrendered two goals in the second half. SBU's Jen Sandtorv turned away five of 20 shots in 52:30, then Gina DeNezzo allowed four goals and was credited with two saves the rest of the way.
In her homecoming, Blaney scored three goals for the Wildcats. Alexa Webster (Aurora, Colo.) recorded a career-high two points with a goal and an assist.
New Hampshire returns to action April 14 at home vs. Harvard University. Game time at Memorial Field is 3:30 p.m.

LONDON (AlertNet) - The number of children killed in Somalia's conflict increased sharply in October and is likely to rise further, the United Nations children's agency (UNICEF) said on Tuesday.
Escalating fighting in the Horn of Africa nation killed 24 children last month - nearly double the number of those killed in every other month this year – and critically injured 58, according to the United Nations.
"Increasing numbers of children and civilians are being caught in attacks and cross-fire across the south and centre of Somalia," UNICEF's representative to Somalia, Sikander Khan, said in a statement.
Sexual violence poses another serious threat to the lives of Somali children. More than 200 children, mostly girls, have been raped this year, UNICEF communications specialist Jaya Murthy told AlertNet by phone from Nairobi.
At least 600 children have been recruited and used for armed service this year, the U.N. agency said.
Insecurity and violence in Somalia are hampering the delivery of humanitarian aid to children in need, UNICEF said, as the worst drought in 60 years has put 750,000 people at risk of starvation.
"Many of the hundreds of thousands of children already facing a situation of life and death due to famine and disease are now facing the risk of having life-saving assistance cut off to them," Khan said in a statement.
Last month, Kenya mounted an air and ground offensive against al Qaeda-linked al Shabaab, Somalia's Islamist rebel group. The move came after a string of kidnappings in Kenya and cross-border raids, which the government blamed on the rebels.

what a great post about enjoying the holiday without generating too much junk!thanks:)
An Eco Easter Basket
With Earth Day (April 22) so close to Easter, join me in nixing the traditional basket filler and hunt for goodies that encourage an appreciation of nature. I'm pretty confident my outdoorsy, totally-curious-about-the-world 4-year old son will love it.
Reducing by Reusing
It really surprises me to learn that lots of folks trash their baskets after Easter. Think of all of those sad, pastel baskets sitting in landfills for eons – discarded and forgotten. And don't get me started on those (soulless) cellophane wrapped pre-filled baskets you see in big box stores! The Easter Bunny is way more creative and nature-conscious than that.
Growing up, my brother and I always reused the same baskets year after year. Lots of memories tied to those baskets! It was like seeing an old friend when my parents would pull my basket out of the attic each spring. Believe it or not, my mom also saved and reused our Easter basket grass from year to year. Her reasoning was rooted in saving money and getting the most use out of everything. My mom's example fits right in to my environmental outlook on life (not to mention my budget). I bought a sturdy natural woven basket and a couple of bundles of green recycled paper grass for my son's first Easter – and – four years later, we are still making holiday memories with them.
Gifts that last
As I set out shopping to help the Easter Bunny find gifts to fill my child's basket, I noticed that some stores set out a dizzying array of disposable trinkets as filler for baskets. The Easter-specific toys I spied seemed like they'd last a week before breaking. Needless to say, I was uninspired.
With Earth Day in mind, I aimed to seek out items that would be fun, useful and encourage our kid to get outside and commune with nature. Here are some of the ideas I thought up; share yours too – I still have some room in the basket to fill.
Books about bugs, butterflies, birds can open up a young one's eyes to the importance of conservation.
Springtime is a good time to replenish art supplies – a quality sketchpad and colored pencils could help a young artist to bloom.
A colorful water bottle can keep your kid hydrated and keep plastic out of landfills.
Encourage your young one to dig nature by tucking a few flower, herb or vegetable seed packets into their basket.
Look for organic, all-natural sweets made with ingredients sourced with care. I'd be remiss if I didn't mention Endangered Species Chocolate's organic, dark and milk chocolate Bug Bites. *smile* It's chocolate that not only tastes indulgent and contains ingredients I can feel good about giving my child – it funds species conservation, promotes fair trade and encourages sustainable cacao farming.
Comment below and tell us how you green up Easter! Or add other eco-minded Easter basket ideas to our list.
13 Comments to "An Eco Easter Basket"
Depending where you live (and the weather) a kite would be fun…and a good opportunity to talk about wind power!
Happy Earth Day everyone!
I L-O-V-E this idea! There is a family-owned kite store in my downtown area. This is a perfect way to support local business and put something useful, lasting and fun in my son's Easter basket. Thanks for the idea, Moonsword.
I have never tried your candy before. I am entering a contest on new age mama. This is the first time I have heard of you. I love the idea that you are helping out the animals. What a great thing to be doing and I love your name. Rita Spratlen
So glad New Age Mama introduced you to our chocolate (and this blog)! We hope you give Endangered Species Chocolate a try…maybe for Easter or Earth Day.
This is great!!! I think it is about time that we start thinking more about the all unnecessary packaging that goes into gifts and other things. Thanks for this!
My family loves Endangered Species chocolates in their Easter baskets (we use the same baskets from year to year). It's my favorite chocolate of all time!
Seeds are an awesome idea, I am going to it this year!
We have used the same baskets year after year with our kids…no need to be wasteful!! I focus on educational treats for my children too…they love books, games, art supplies as well!! Last year they got gardening gloves, gardening tools, and little smocks!!!
We have reused the same baskets for many years, but have occasionally used a toy or other container that can be used for storage in their rooms, or a big sand pail that was used year after year at the beach. Child size gardening tools were also a big hit. Shredded comics from the Sunday paper or construction paper works better than cellophane b/c it can be recycled.
I don't have kids and I haven't celebrated Easter in many years, but I would love a small piece of Endangered Species chocolate to make me feel like a kid again.
Love your article and can't agree more. My company does gift baskets and our packaging is modern, reusable and eco-friendly – from the containers, to the fill and tissue, and even the bows.
And we fill our gift baskets with wholesome delicious foods and treats including Endangered Species chocolate, too.
For Easter, I add pretty painted eggs to the baskets – these can be reused by the recipient to make a lovely quick and easy display year after year.
Monica, I love this! My kids use the same basket each year, too! We fill theirs with books, art supplies, clothes, DVD's and a few items of candy. Love the water bottle and seed packet ideas.
Great post!

NEW YORK — NBC on Wednesday announced its long-rumored switch in late night, replacing Jay Leno at the "Tonight" show with Jimmy Fallon and moving the iconic franchise back to New York.
Fallon will take over in about a year, the switch coinciding with NBC's Winter Olympics coverage next year. Veteran "Saturday Night Live" producer Lorne Michaels also will take over as executive producer of "Tonight."
NBC made no announcement on who would replace Fallon at the 12:35 a.m. "Late Night" slot, although Seth Meyers of "Saturday Night Live" is considered a strong candidate.
The change at "Tonight," the longest-running and most popular late-night talk show, had been widely reported but not confirmed by the network until Wednesday. NBC reportedly just wrapped up negotiations with Fallon on a contract extension.
Steve Burke, chief executive officer of NBC Universal, said the network is purposefully making the move when Leno is still at the top of the ratings, just as when Leno replaced Johnny Carson at "Tonight" in 1992.
"Jimmy Fallon is a unique talent and this is his time," Burke said.
Leno, in a statement, offered his congratulations to Fallon.
"I hope you're as lucky as me and hold on to the job until you're the old guy," he said. "If you need me, I'll be at the garage."
Fallon said: "I'm really excited to host a show that starts today instead of tomorrow."
NBC has been quietly building a new studio for Fallon at its Rockefeller Center headquarters. "Tonight" began in New York in the 1950s, but Carson moved it to California in 1972. Starting next year, Fallon, Letterman, Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert will tape late-night shows in New York. ABC's Jimmy Kimmel and TNT's Conan O'Brien will be the top California-based shows.
"The 'Tonight' show will bring even more jobs and economic activity to our city, and we couldn't be happier that one of New York's own is bringing the show back to where it started, and where it belongs," New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg said.
New York state recently added a tax credit in its budget that seemed designed specifically to benefit NBC's move East with "Tonight."
NBC is worried that ABC's Kimmel will establish himself as a go-to late night performer for a younger generation if the network doesn't move swiftly to install Fallon.
ABC moved Kimmel's time slot to directly compete with Leno earlier this year.
But the move also has the potential to backfire with Leno's fans, who did not embrace O'Brien when Leno was temporarily moved to prime time a few years ago.
"The guys at NBC are not totally stupid and are not going to shoot themselves in the foot," said Gary Carr, senior vice president and executive director of national broadcast for the ad buying firm TargetCast. "I think it's a good move for them long-term. But it may have short-term ramifications."
NBC has long prided itself on smooth transitions but that reputation took a hit with the short-lived and ill-fated move of O'Brien to "Tonight" and Leno to prime-time a few years ago.
The Leno-Fallon changeover didn't begin smoothly. Leno had been cracking jokes about NBC's prime-time futility, angering NBC entertainment chief Robert Greenblatt, who sent a note to Leno telling him to cool it. That only made Leno go after NBC management much harder.
The first public effort toward making the transition smooth came Monday night, when Leno and Fallon appeared in a comic video making fun of the late-night rumors. It aired in between each man's show.

The 25-year-old had one year left on his previous deal but his extended contract will now keep him at Turf Moor until the summer of 2017.
"I'm delighted to have extended my deal with the club as this is where I want to be playing my football under this management," he said.
"We had a great year last season and this is a club is going in the right direction so I'm made up to be a part of that.
"I felt like I was getting back to my best last season and a massive factor behind that was because I was enjoying my football and I felt I could go out and express myself.
"We've got a great bunch of lads and there is a real togetherness in the squad, with everyone pulling in the same direction.
"Obviously it is going to be a tough season ahead but if we stick together and work as hard as we did last year then I think we can have a successful season."
Scotsman Arfield began his career at Falkirk before joining Huddersfield for an undisclosed fee in the summer of 2010.
Burnley signed him on a free transfer last summer and he made 49 appearances in all competitions for Sean Dyche's side, scoring nine goals to help them secure promotion from the Championship.

Speedie, Willis, James Shelved for Yankee Game; Graham, Humble Also Hurt
Cleveland Municipal Stadium
Plain Dealer Reporter
"We busted them, but we got busted up pretty well ourselves," said Coach Paul Brown, surveying a group of his athletes being given first aid treatment in the Browns' clubhouse shortly after they had left the field with a 14-7 victory over the San Francisco 49ers.
MAC SPEEDIE, X-rayed at Charity Hospital, was found to be suffering a slight shoulder separation, which he sustained in the second period when he crashed to the ground in an unsuccessful attempt to snatch a pass five yards from the San Francisco goal line.
BILL WILLIS, also X-rayed, received a painful bruise beneath his left eye when kicked by an opposing lineman during the second period. His face is badly swollen.
TOMMY JAMES, a third to be X-rayed under order by Dr. Vic Ippolito, the team physician, was found to have sustained a bruise above the left ankle, which he incurred while making a tackle during the second kickoff, a minute after the game began.
OTTO GRAHAM, suffered a bruised and swollen right hand, which was stepped on by a San Francisco lineman, who was offside in the second period.
WELDON HUMBLE, was hit on the chin while tackling a 49er ball carrier during the second half.
Ready for Los Angeles Game
It is doubtful that Speedie, Willis and James will be able to play next Sunday when the Browns meet the New York Yankees at New York, but according to Ippolito they should be recovered in time for the Thanksgiving Day battle with the Dons at Los Angeles.
James was the only one of that group who had to be sidelined after being injured. Speedie, Willis, Graham and Humble remained in the game despite their injuries, though Speedie was replaced by Horace Gillom in the last period.
Parseghian is Surprise
With every game, it seems Brown springs a surprise performer. Last week it was Dub Jones and yesterday, even to the surprise of Brown, it was Ara Parseghian, the Akron halfback who sparkled in his college days for Miami (O.) University.
"How about that little guy?" Brown asked, grinning a broad grin. "He certainly can go, can't he?"
Parseghian was pressed into double duty when Tommy James was injured early in the first period. He turned in sterling performances both on defense and offense, batting down several enemy passes and ripping off several sizable gains. He was relieved on defense in the late stages of the game by Bob Cowan.
Admiral Jonas Ingram, commissioner of the All-America Conference, was among the first to reach the Cleveland dressing room to offer his congratulations to Brown. Later he visited the San Francisco clubhouse and commended Buck Shaw, the 49ers' coach, upon their performance.
"It was a marvelous football game," Ingram told Brown. "These are two evenly matched teams. I enjoyed every minute of it."
Albert Knows Mistakes
The Browns were proud of themselves for having stopped Frankie Albert, San Francisco's ace quarterback and passer, but the cagey little Albert was not so proud of himself.
"We didn't deserve to win," he said. "because we made too many mistakes."
Would he care to say what those mistakes were?
"Now, that would be telling, wouldn't it?" he smiled. "Never you mind. We won't make them when we play the Browns again, that's all."
Did the Cleveland line rush him too much on his attempts to pass?
"No, I was just plain lousy."
Buck Shaw, the silver-haired San Francisco coach, warmly congratulated Brown in mid-field immediately after the game, but he opined later that with a few breaks, the game might have resulted in a tie, or possibly even in a 49er victory.
"The fumbles in the first period hurt us plenty," Shaw said. "I don't want that to sound like an alibi, though. The Browns played a mighty fine game. I think we can take them the next time."
Among the Browns' outstanding linemen was Forest (Chubby) Grigg, the 280-pound man mountain from Longview, Tex. Grigg, a defensive tackle, was constantly losing his headgear, but he also was constantly breaking up plays aimed in his direction.
Somebody mentioned to Brown afterward that Grigg played a marvelous game, and Brown threw back his head and laughed with delight.
"Can you imagine," he exclaimed. "The Chicago Rockets gave him to us for nothing. They just threw him in on a deal. And look what he does for us."
Harlan Mumma, the sideline judge, was still limping after the game. Early in the first period, when Otto Graham was streaking toward the San Francisco goal for the Browns' first touchdown, Mumma made the mistake of getting in the way of Riley Matheson, a would-be tackler.
Matheson missed Graham but he got Mumma. The official went down as Graham crossed the goal line. Lying flat on his back, he raised his arms in the air, signifying that Cleveland had scored.
- How are the Browns doing?

You are always on my mind
When he is by my side
You were the one that hurt me
He was the one I never notice, and never thought could be
Till he came and told me he loved me
You were the one that caused me pain
When he was thinking I was the main thing
You were the one who let me go
He was the one who took hold
Now you are the one who's lonely
And had a let a good thing go
He's the one who have it made

UPDATE: TDB's John Batchelor makes it plain: Beck is an oaf, and a harmless one at that. A clip:
What is Beck talking about? What is it that the folk who watch his afternoon TV show hear when he starts prophesying about "ways out" and "the sun is setting" and "the fire of truth"? The answer may be disappointingly simple. Beck isn't talking about anything historical, that is, genuinely threatening, since he is not politically astute, intellectually curious, or even much of a kvetch. Beck is an entertainer, and he does his job with hambone energy and handfuls of self-mockery. There is no threat here. Beck is bootlessly earnest, as he says; Beck is pleasantly harmless, as he says. Beck is a fool in the manner of a court jester, a fool whom FNC properly features as foolish—a braniac with a pipe in-mouth, or a lecturer-in-chief with chalk in hand, or a handsome lad mugging to the camera as if he'd just dropped his own birthday cake in his lap. I think of him now and again as Quasimodo Lite, a deaf bell-ringer swinging from the Notre Dame of Fox, a man who is eager to confess his own unsightly warts—"I've screwed up most of my life"—and who is also heroically delighted to be our slightly stooped "Pope of Fools," because this accidental role, in this Festival of Fools called 2010, wins the cheers of the crowd.
Also at the Beast: I have a nightmare…
ORIGINAL POST: There's lots of talk about Glenn Beck's "restoring honor" rally this Saturday; from outrage over the date (the anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King's "I have a dream speech" … Glenn swears it's a coincidence … or God's doin' …) to questions about whether the Democrats will be able to milk the collective crazy for votes, or whether Beck is milking the up to
300,000 100,000 expected attendees, and the charity he claims to be supporting, to make a buck. But there's a strong case to be made for simply ignoring Beck, his rally, and the wacky people who follow him.
Beck has made a successful career — and a lot of money – ticking people off. He careens between outrageous claims (Obama is a racist, half the administration are Marxist infiltrators …) and quasi-religious, Messianic cultism. His followers think he walks on water, and is incapable of not telling the truth. But Beck's devoted audience, which can number nearly 3 million people on a good night, represent a small fraction of the 300 million-plus people in this country, and even a fraction of the nightly television audience. If every single one of them voted for Sarah Palin, twice, they couldn't elect her president.
And while Beck may harbor delusions of grandeur, and believe that he will change lives, the world, and human history itself on Saturday, the truth is, all he'll change is the news cycle for a few days, as breathless media dutifully report his every crackpot utterance, and those of Palin and the other "non-political" speakers at the ultimate Fox News freak show (call it the "million angry white dude march.") After that, he'll go back to hawking gold on Fox News and wigging out on his radio show; his audience will still be angry, paranoid, and in full lather that they lost the last presidential election; Barack Obama will still be president, the sun will still come up Sunday morning, and Dr. King's 1963 speech will still be the only thing history remembers August 28th for.
It's possible, in fact, that all the attention being given to Beck, who after all, has a perfect right, under the First Amendment and under the principle that we shouldn't deify days and dates any more than we sanctify Burlington Coat Factories, that the attention and hand-wringing over Beck's crazy-clan rally just gives it more oxygen. We all are just feeding his ego by paying so much mind to a self-described rodeo clown who at the end of the day, just wants to sell some books, pump up his sponsor, Goldline, and hawk a few more enrollments to Glenn Beck University.
In fact, the more the rest of us storm and rage at Beck; the more we display umbrage at him, the stronger he gets (financially.) His followers feed on victimization (including their certainty that Barack Obama is out to destroy white people and "the white culture,") and attacking their Jim Jones is precisely what makes them grab for the Kool-Aid (and the gold). In a way, the most appropriate response to Beck is the one we've seen on The Colbert Report or the Jon Stewart Show, and that is mockery. Beck is a comedian. So laugh at him. Trust me, he'll hate it. And if you can't muster laughter, do the next best thing: ignore him completely.
In fact, ignoring Beck might be the best bet of all, since it's the only thing a guy that self-interested really won't be able to stand.
