Overstock.com sent me a completely damaged patio umbrella that I paid $258 for. The metal was actually ripped apart on the pole. It was severed in several places so it was knowingly sent damaged by the company. This is the first and last time will do business with this company. They did reimburse me for the product, however, I had to hold it on my porch for 10 days for a pickup which never came then had to dispose of it myself.
Regarding purchase of: Ergo Tech Monitor Stand 100-D28-B13
I'm not trying to be dramatic here when I say worst..because it really was. They sent me the wrong models TWICE. Each time there were multiple stickers ON the box that clearly showed that it was model 100-D28-B22 NOT the 100-D28-B13 that I ordered, so immediately I knew it was wrong and sent them back.
The first time around I understood that it could be a mistake and gave them another chance. Then I got the EXACT same ones again. I called them immediately asking them to actually look at what boxes they were sending before they even ship anything out to me again. They told me they would talk to the warehouse the next business day and I got no response until 2 days later when I had to call them myself.
Then they asked me to send pictures because they wanted "proof" as if the warehouse people were blind and can't see the stickers on the boxes. Might as well have asked me to 3D print a Braille version of the picture. I'm only a 100 pounds and had to lift 64 pounds from the leasing office to my apartment door.. just so UPS could pick them up as soon as possible since they only come after the leasing office is closed.
I left early for work to wait for FedEx delivery because I didn't want to go through it again and it'd be easier to just refuse the package. I literally called every single day, sometimes 2 times a day and was VERY patient and courteous to the people I talked with, except maybe for one of the last few reps, where at that point I couldn't hold in my frustration and was on the verge of tears. I gave overstock MULTIPLE chances to fix this and guess what they did in the end?
I waited patiently for over a week and they basically said oops the website was wrong and that they don't even carry the product. They just gave me a full refund and nothing in return, not even in-store credit for the extreme inconveniences I went through for a week.
The manager I called said the system wouldn't allow it because I was fully refunded and the case was closed and resolved. Resolved on whose behalf? I can't believe overstock can be that selfish. Yes it is resolved for them because I basically helped them find a huge flaw in their system, NOT for me because I literally suffered in sweat and tears and blood (from carrying the plastic rope thing the box was tied in) and still never got the product I ordered.
The best they could offer me was a useless 12% discount on my next purchase which I refused because they've now lost all of my trust and I'm never purchasing from them again. In all seriousness, I'd have a better chance at surviving a death match with Ronda Rousey than buying from them again.
They did initially agree to give me "inconvenience fees" but turns out they take it out of your purchase amount. Which may be understandable if I was the one who chose to return the product. But it was their huge mistake and they promised me a product which they couldn't deliver because it seems like they basically put up a fake page selling a product they don't even have. I'm surprised they still have this page up. I have a hard time believing that it could be just a "mistake" when the picture, item description, model number, specs and everything matches on the website. Which makes me believe even more that they are doing this on purpose and sending out the wrong model (cheaper and a lot less popular/harder to sell). Makes me believe they are trying to run a scam and hoping that you will either accidentally open the box (meaning partial refund), just shut your mouth and stupidly believe that this is really the product you ordered just so they can get rid of a product that they can't sell.
I've honestly never had as bad of an experience from any other company. I'm not going to be a hypocrite here and throw around "mistakenly" wrong images of the company like Overstock does with their items, because I, for one, actually have morals and understand the effects of libel. But I will definitely be warning everyone I can what happened to me, because I would not even wish this on my enemies.
ANYWHERE, MISSOURI -- Let the Buyer Beware! (Austin Reed suit): Overstock.com represents this product with a picture of an American made Austin Reed suit that retails for around $600 (I recognize the suit pictured, as I own one in another color). The suit they send is a Chinese made version that sells elsewhere for around $300, with different lining and different label. (Check the inner pocket and lining as shown in the pictures. The suit they sent to me had a silver-grey lining and a different label.) My attorney called this false advertising and fraud, since it shipped across state lines.
The suit itself (not the lawsuit): The suit was poorly constructed and of thin material. It weighed around half the weight of my other Austin Reed suit (the American made version, bought locally). It did not arrive in its original packaging, and was in fact balled up in the box, and hung on a hanger which advertised a competing brand. I hope potential shoppers read this and understand not only that the suit they will receive is substandard and made in China, but if they still decide to purchase this suit, that they also understand that after adding $60-$100 for tailoring, this is no bargain in any sense of the word at the Overstock price.
Customer service: After many emails back and forth with Overstock's representatives, who first tried to send me another Chinese suit, then another pair of pants (because they couldn't comprehend the written word, I can only assume), their only solution offered was to return the suit. I did so after taking pictures, as my attorney recommended. (There will be no further discussion of this, as the issue is not yet resolved.) After the suit was returned at their request, Overstock offered to refund the purchase amount, but not the shipping cost, and had the gall to add a charge for return shipping in an amount almost three times the original shipping cost.
Needless to say, "that ain't going to fly". Conclusion: I have dealt with many online vendors from Amazon to Zappos, but never had such a poor customer service experience, nor felt cheated by the seller. I will continue to shop from A to Z, but will skip over the "O" from now on. I will not be shopping Overstock.com ever again, and will not recommend them to my friends, or to anyone reading this review. P.S. I should have checked their stock performance first (OSTK), as it seems it has been falling rapidly (60 %!) this past year. I do not wonder why.
UTAH -- My wife ordered a couch on Oct 12th from Overstock.com after they screwed up our order on the 6th and we had to reorder the couch again. The woman at Overstock who took the order told my wife, do not take delivery until the couch is brought into our home, set up and to inspect the couch to make sure it is not damaged. I have been waiting for almost a month to get my couch and it arrives tonight on the delivery truck with instructions to only drop it at the doorstep, no set up, no inspection just dumped at the front door.
We tried to contact someone at Overstock and had to wait for at least 30 minutes to speak to someone from management, he was useless and unable to help us, by this time the delivery truck had left and we still had no couch and no refund from overstock in sight, so I don't know what to do. I know BBB is basically useless but I will copy and paste my experience with Overstock to many websites including the Attorney General in Texas and Utah.
I just wanted my couch delivered and set up like they promised and now I have no couch and those liars (Overstock) still have my money and Overstock has done nothing but increase my stress level and still no couch. Overstock is incompetent and unethical.
SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH -- I used to be one of Overstock.com customer service reps. and have been reading the complaints on this site concerning Overstock service. Here's the scoop: Overstock CSR's are trained to lie point blank. While I was employed with them I receive numerous complaints from angry customers that received damaged goods, wrong orders or just never got their order period and it had already been paid for. Overstock Customer Service reps work from a totally different state than the warehouse okay. At the time I was employed through them our customer centers were in Wyoming and New Mexico, the warehouse however is in Utah.
So any complaints we received had to be resolved by filing a grievance form on the computer. Not only that the orders are paid for we then place the order to the warehouse and a lot of the times that order never gets shipped out but hey Overstock has that little problem covered. When the customer calls in to complain they will tell you that yes it has been shipped and that it was UPS's fault or USPS's fault when the whole time it was never shipped. Now a grievance is filed through Overstock and that takes at least if you're lucky 72 business hours and you'll be lucky if you see your order at all.
As for the orders being shipped to the wrong address well the people at the warehouse itself most of them can't understand or read English - are you following me. A lot of times you'll get something damaged or missing a part yeah good luck getting that resolved. Long story short if you don't want to get ripped off stay away from Overstock. They lie to get your business, once they've conned you into ordering they couldn't care less about whether you get your merchandise or not. And as for their refund policies I had customers that would call me and complain that they had been waiting 6 months for a refund or exchange and had never got it.
You're better off staying away from this company. I know people who quit cause of the dishonesty of this company's business practices including myself. Let me make myself clear I am not a disgruntled ex employee by no means. I just believe that if you are going to spend your money on something you should get exactly what you ordered as seen on the site, not some cheap or damaged version of it. Nor should you be penalized, i.e. restock fees for asking for a refund cause it didn't fit or cause you received damage goods from the warehouse.
And in no way should you be lied to when you call into a call center to request as to where your order is or for a refund or anything else. You are the consumer it's your money and you have a right to be treated honestly and fairly. That is why I quit this company. Cause in my opinion if Overstock actually cared what people thought or the fact that they lose good customers everyday because of the crap they dish out, they would listen to their customers and do what they had to to make it right . However this not the case with Overstock. They need to change how they operate.
I ordered king size bed from Overstock.com and waited more than four weeks to receive my shipment. At the delivery day, the time of delivery supposed to be between 11am to 3pm, and I was told I will get a call 30 minutes before arrival time... no that never happened! I took time off from work 4pm. Still no call or no delivery. I called the delivery company after half hour later I was told they are running late, they will be there soon. Now 5:30 the delivery man shows up, we ask them to open the box for verification before they leave because that's what Overstock told us to do, no! They say no they don't do that, they are just here to drop off the boxes.
We signed their delivery form without knowing what's in the box... We start opening the boxes now we are missing all the screws and pins to put the bed together, the manual/instructions, and the head board of the bed. We aren't sure if we have all the pieces because we don't have a manual telling us what should be in the boxes. When I called overstock.com they told me they will get back to me in two business days. When I asked to talk to a manager I wasn't able to and when I asked to talk to the corporate I was told they don't have a phone # they only have email... 45 minutes later still no one to answer my question why I was missing part of the bed.
I went online and searched for corporate # and called the # finally someone sounded like they will help me... Boy!! I was wrong! The next day the gal called me back to tell me I should have everything and that to check all the pieces. The delivery company don't have it. Then she tells me they don't have the items I'm missing in stock any more. She said they can return everything and will give a refund! At this point I am very frustrated and upset.... I have removed my old furniture and empty my room and purchased new staff that matches this bed and she is telling they don't have the item any more.... there is nothing they can do.
At this point I don't trust anything they say I'm actually worried if they are going to pick up the staff and give me a refund. The gal told me she will call me back some time today to let me know when they will pick the staff and give a refund. I went to their website and the bed is available it is not out of stock! I'm so disappointed! Such a horrible customer service!! O.com doesn't care about customer satisfaction they just want get you off the phone and out of the way! They don't care about losing customers. I advise anyone not to make a mistake purchasing anything from them.
This is the first time in my life I am posting compliant online. I am very disgusted about the treatment I received by o.com!
This is what $1,146.99 gets you at Overstock… I ordered a couch through Overstock on 01/02/15. Now I know what BigO means because I've been sitting here wondering "O" where is my couch. It's 02/05/15, and the couch just arrived. I called multiple times to understand why shipping was taking so long in the past weeks. Incremental weather. Finally, yesterday the shipping company called and said they would contact me tomorrow about delivery. I said "at what time?" The lady on the phone kept just saying tomorrow.
I ask her about the "4-hour-delivery window" and she rudely responded that "yea we have a four hour delivery window" and continued to prompted me that they would call 20 min before arrival "sometime" tomorrow without providing any indication to what time that would be. I tried to communicate that I would be at work all day, and that I work 20 min from home, and if she would provided a bigger indication of what time it would be delivered. She finally agreed that they would call a whole 30 min beforehand. Still no window. So frustrated, I agreed.
Today, I got a call during an important meeting. The gentleman on the phone said "we are with the shipping company, and we are 20 min out from your house." Seriously? Anyhow, I dip out of the meeting rush back to the house, sign for the package and head back to work. I just got home, pulled the couch out of the box, and there is a foot sized hole in the bottom of the thing. This is the worst experience I have ever had with any company. As a high ticket item, I would expect much better service. The couch was only being shipped from within the US and took over a month. It shows up damaged.
I just called to inform Overstock. The customer service representative never even said sorry. He just asked me would you like to return for full refund. I told him I would like a replacement couch, but not if I have to wait another month to get it, so I'll take full refund. I posted my experience and share with friends and family in hope that people will shy away from contributing to a company that has no respect for its consumers and pitiful customer service. Would think I ordered a couch from Comcast.
PENNSYLVANIA -- I have been an online purchaser for a long time and I stick with my regular and reliable stores, rarely do I buy from Overstock.com but on this occasion there was this bed I wanted. Well the large bed headboard was sent in packaging only fit for a pillow, so inevitably the package was very damaged, a whole corner broken off and two large cracks in the top. Terrible, but it happens and that's why there is returns assistance... or so I thought.
First my returns submission vanished, then customer service insisted that I return the 3 heavy boxes to a UPS store by myself (already helped the UPS driver bring them in as he came on his own and they were too heavy). Then they told me I wouldn't be refunded for up to 2 weeks, then they told me I would expect a home pickup one day in the next 2-10 days which suggests I stay home every day. This was disgraceful and everyone else who goes through this must stand up to them. Finally they agreed to refund the money in 1-2 days and an inspector might be out within 10 days to view the damaged item, I got this in writing from 2 online chat agents.
Needless to say they lied and I have no money and just a broken bed... The fight continues, do NOT buy from OVERSTOCK. So refund promised today, didn't arrive today... so guess what, back on to customer service and again they extended their time frame and guess what... it''ll be in my account tomorrow... again!!! So I asked them where I get my lawyer to contact and she just ignored the question, I repeated it time and time again but she ignored it. So finally I gave up and said I guess I'll have to find out where my lawyer contacts by myself... still no refund.
I don't want a smashed up bed, I want them to take the bed back and refund my money... guess what, they just ignore everything I say or ask. Overstock has turned into a scam!
SALT LAKE, UTAH -- I purchased a $5,100 couch from Overstock based largely on the glowing reviews. I assumed a couch at this price must be a good quality since there wasn't a single negative review. Since we as consumers are buying these products site-unseen the reviews are a major factor in whether someone does/doesn't buy. You must trust the company you are buying from to be open, honest and ethical in allowing reviews, even negative ones, to be posted.
Overstock clearly is none of those things. I have attempted on 5 occasions to leave a review an honest, unemotional, review, each one was rejected. It is far worse to only allow positive reviews than it is to have no reviews at all. That is a COMPLETE misrepresentation of the products you are selling. My review spoke in detail about the quality of the product, from a very informed perspective and was rejected not once but five times.
They cited the fact I mentioned the shipping, which was out of their control, but every single positive review on their site currently for the product also mentions shipping but they let those get posted as they are 5 stars. I feel robbed and cheated in this whole process. This is purely unethical and I will go to great lengths to insure all potential Overstock consumers are informed about this practice of filtering out negative reviews. Buyer beware.
Additionally I called to try to cancel the order before receiving the shipment since the date of the shipment kept slipping out. The Overstock representative on the other end of the line convinced me to accept the delivery by telling me, repeatedly, that if I took delivery a manager would call me back and compensate me with a credit I could use on future purchases. They did not. I took delivery based on that promise, which they broke, and I ordered based on reviews that they have manipulated to misrepresent the product.

A father spends $400,000 trying to help his son kick the habit. A woman gives her boyfriend CPR five times before he finally dies of an overdose. A mother changes her life plans to save a son curled up in an unfinished basement.
These are the stories of heroin addiction.
He begged me and begged me to get him help, said an Oswego County woman, speaking of her boyfriend while testifying before state legislators Friday in Watertown. He told me he felt like the devil was inside of him and he could not get him out. Six days later he was dead.
Lawmakers in Albany are grappling with an epidemic that has arisen, seemingly overnight, in the small towns and communities throughout New York and in the north country a surge in heroin and opioid addiction.
But the problem which has touched doctors, nurses, police officers, families, mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, users and recovering addicts has no simple solution. Those testifying before the panel identified several weak links in the systems that deal with the issue.
Concerns about the cost of treatment and the inadequacy of insurance options, and a debate about crime and punishment for those who buy and sell drugs, highlighted the discussion. The session was punctuated by emotional testimony from family members affected by the drugs emergence on a market little equipped to deal with its growing popularity.
The panel was anchored by state Sen. Patricia A. Ritchie, R-Heuvelton, and included Assemblymen Kenneth D. Blankenbush, R-Black River, and William A. Barclay, R-Pulaski.
Its a multifaceted problem without a single answer, Jefferson County District Attorney Cindy F. Intschert said. Addicts will do anything lie, steal, prostitute themselves to get their fix, she said.
The number of drug arrests involving heroin in Jefferson County as a percentage of the Metro-Jefferson Drug Task Forces total arrests has increased from 10 percent in 2009 to 38 percent in 2013 and is on track to surpass that number this year, Ms. Intschert said.
Detective Sean OBrien of the St. Lawrence County Drug Task Force told the panel that heroin arrests in his county increased by 280 percent in 2013 over the previous year and were on track to increase 120 percent this year.
But reducing the supply and demand and providing treatment are more difficult than it seems. Distinguishing between those who are addicted to the substances and those who profit from their need takes training and experience, according to Ms. Intschert. The treatment is expensive and not always covered by insurance.
The insurance company issue is bigger than the heroin problem because you cant get anybody any help, said Adam Bullock, director of behavioral health services at Canton-Potsdam Hospital.
Mr. Bullock and others discussed the fights theyve had with insurance companies while negotiating a maze of regulations to get their patients and family members the help they need.
And time is of the essence, according to Dr. Charles J. Moehs. He is the only primary care physician in Watertown who prescribes suboxone, a drug used to treat opioid dependence.
We should have a detox program in Watertown, Dr. Moehs said. People who want to get off the drug need to do it when theyre ready or other influences will intervene.
Those who wish to kick the drug must travel to Syracuse or Canton-Potsdam to find a treatment center, Dr. Moehs said. They should not be put in jail and forced to undergo rapid detox in a jail cell. Thats inhumane, he said.

Amyris sales slide 73% on shelving of biofuels
April 30, 2013 | Rebecca Coons
Biobased farnesene producer Amyris (Emeryville, CA) reported a net loss of $32.3 million for its fiscal first-quarter ended 31 March compared with a net loss of $94.9 million in the year-ago quarter. Net loss attributable to Amyris stockholders of 44 cts/share fell short of a net loss of 38 cts/share consensus of analyst estimates compiled by Thomson Reuters (New York). Revenue decreased 73.2%, to $7.9 million, reflecting the company's exit from ethanol and ethanol-blended gasoline trading in 2012. Renewable product sales increased 25.0%, to $3.0 million...

ORRINGTON, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- Investigators have returned to the scene of a fire that left a man and his three children dead Saturday morning.
Maine fire officials were being assisted by electrical and heating inspectors at the scene Sunday as they continued to determine what caused the fire. Investigators did say they are making progress.
Maine Department of Public Safety Spokesperson Steve McCausland says the bodies of a man and his three children were removed from the Dow Road home Saturday and taken to the State Medical Examiner's Office in Augusta for autopsies. Their mother escaped the fire and was taken to Eastern Maine Medical Center in Bangor to be treated for smoke inhalation. Her condition has improved.
Officials have identified the man as 30-year-old Ben Johnson III, and his three children as 9-year-old Ben, 8-year-old Leslie, and 4-year-old Ryan. Their mother has been identified as 31-year-old Christine Johnson. The Department of Public Safety says Christine Johnson was rescued off the roof of the house by neighbors and firefighters.
McCausland says fire crews were first called to the scene around 2:30 a.m. Saturday by neighbors who heard a woman screaming. Firefighters say the two-story house was fully engulfed in flames when they arrived on scene, and the bodies were found a short time later when firefighters entered the house.
Officials say the Johnsons moved into the rented house about six months ago from Bangor. McCausland says Ben Johnson III worked at Hollywood Casino in Bangor, and Christine Johnson is an author who worked out of the house.
The State Fire Marshal's Office plans to interview Johnson and other witnesses Sunday evening.
"For neighbors to be able to tell us where did they see the flames when they saw it at that certain time, that type of an idea helps us to be able to conduct that investigation in a more thorough manner," Fire Marshal Joe Thomas said at the scene Saturday.
A report of the findings should be released Monday.
McCausland said this is the deadliest fire the state has seen in 20 years. The last time four people died was at a Portland apartment in 1992.

Audible: Who Deserves More Playing Time?
We all are fatigued with talk about the quarterback situation, so let's set that aside and look at the rest of the team. We want to hear in the comments who you want to see more playing time from the Jets during the second half of the season. There's a number of backups who are contributing well to the team, but might be better able to help the team if they see more time on the field.
Is it Demario Davis? Is it Chaz Schilens? Is it Marcus Dowtin? How about Bilal Powell?
Who do you want to see get much more playing time in the second half?

IMAX is an entertainment experience so real you feel it in your bones, so magical it takes you to places you have never been: so all-encompassing you're not just peeking through the window, but part of the action. Behind it is a world of high technology – advanced software and equipment pioneered by IMAX.
Absolutely stunning image clarity and extraordinary sound combine on the screen to unforgettable effect. And in 3D – well, it's the ultimate big-screen experience.
Huge screens that maximise your field of vision, no matter where you're sitting; a far greater resolution than conventional film systems; and state-of-the-art sound that is tailored for each auditorium and precisely tuned for each film presentation – that's IMAX.
See more, hear more, feel more – immerse yourself in the film experience that you'll want to reach out and touch. In extraordinarily high resolution, with projection lights so bright they can be seen from the moon and astonishingly precise sound – IMAX takes your breath away.
This breath-taking technology is packed full of innovative techniques and equipment. For those films not shot with one of the few IMAX cameras in the world, Digital re-mastering 'up-converts' films into the IMAX format.
IMAX screens are housed in specially-designed spaces, the largest of which is ODEON's BFI IMAX in London. Designed not only to provide a view without boundaries, but also to feature laser-aligned speakers, they provide an experience that you really will want to reach out and touch.
As if IMAX wasn't enough in itself, you can also enjoy selected films in 3D. The difference between IMAX 3D and normal 3D is the same as that between IMAX and regular film: it's vast. With the same fundamental principles at its heart as traditional 3D, IMAX 3D takes you much further.
Utterly immersive, IMAX 3D also heightens sensation. So, sit back, put on your 3D glasses and let the film take over – you won't believe it's not real!

I bought this for my daughter in college....and she LOVES IT! She said it is perfect for holding her phone.
Thursday April 16 2015
I bought one of these for a girlfriend before I got one for me. I mostly got it because she wouldn't shut up about how much she loved it. Haha I'm just kidding...but seriously. it fits my iPhone 5s and is really handy for when I just need my phone/Id/cards...casually. Super cute and well built!
Saturday January 10 2015
My Galaxy S5 cell phone is in an Otter Protective Rubber Case which adds to the size of the phone & did not fit in the outside phone pocket; returned it.. I did not consider this added size when I viewed the size of the wristlet. I have other SAK items and all are excellent quality. I look forward to SAK making a wristlet a wee bit larger to accommodate a larger phone. Hats off to SAK and their free return policy & excellent customer care. I will continue to shop SAK.

The series, which will be carried live on the Demon Sports Network, will continue with a 6:30 game on Friday followed by a 1 o'clock game on Saturday. Seven seniors will be recognized during a pregame ceremony prior to the first pitch on Saturday.
The Demons (18-30, 13-17 SLC) are currently in ninth place in the league standings, one game behind Stephen F. Austin and Texas A&M-Corpus Christi for the seventh and eighth spot in the league tournament. Only eight teams qualify for the slate that will be played May 23-26 at Texas State.
Stephen F. Austin hosts Nicholls State while Corpus will be playing at Texas-Arlington in other games that could have implications on NSU's postseason hopes.
Texas State (29-21, 17-13) is in sole possession of third place in the standings but trail Southeastern Louisiana by one game. Sam Houston State (34-17, 22-8) locked up the regular season title after taking two games from SLU last weekend.
On Thursday, the Demons will turn to hard throwing junior LHP Mason Melotakis who will likely be making his final appearance on the mound at Brown-Stroud Field. Melo (3-4, 3.72 ERA) was recently listed as the No. 9 left-handed pitcher and 89th draft prospect overall by Baseball America.
Senior lefty Colin Bear (3-7, 4.70) will make the start on Friday while a pitcher yet to be announced for Saturday's finale. Bear is also hitting .268 with a home run and 25 RBI – second most on the team.
Another pitcher who will be honored on Saturday will be Joe Scanio, who became the school's single-season record holder with his 29th appearance last week at Nicholls State. Scanio (5-3, 2.54) notched his 11th career win in Sunday's first game of a doubleheader at Nicholls and is ranked tied for 10th on the NSU career list for victories.
Other seniors playing in their final games at Brown-Stroud Field will be Drew Helenihi, Nick Hinojos, Jordan Buckley, Ray Frias and Ryan Westbrook. Westbrook is listed as a junior but recently received his degree.
Helenihi ranks second on the team in batting with a .319 average and is third with 18 stolen bases. He trails Will Watson who tops the team with a .333 mark and tied for first with 21 swipes.
As a team, the Demons are hitting .260 and are second in the conference with 81 stolen bases.
Texas State will come into the series hitting .254 as a unit but leads the league in pitching with a team ERA of 2.89, ranking 10th in the nation.
The Bobcats have only one player hitting better than .300 and that is Jeff McVaney who is at .318 to go along with team highs in home runs (8) and runs batted in (36).
On the mound, Texas State possesses two pitchers who rank in the top 100 in the country in ERA – Colton Turner and Travis Ballew. Ballew, a righty, will start on Thursday night in what will be one of the premiere pitching face-offs in the country. He'll enter the game 10-3 on the season with a 2.49 ERA and has 107 strikeouts in 90.1 innings pitched.
LHP Colton Turner (5-2, 1.93) will start on Friday while RHP Kyle Finnegan (5-6, 3.43) will get the nod on Saturday.

Upcoming games: @ Devils, January 31, 7:00 p.m.; @ Sabres, February 1, 7:30 p.m.; Flyers, February 5, 1:00 p.m.
New Jersey Devils (55 points, 8th place, 26-19-3)
The Rangers won 4-1 on December 20 at the Prudential Center the first time the teams met this season. Before the All Star break, the Devils lost 2-1 in a shootout against the Buffalo Sabres. The Devils were not represented in the ASG festivities in Ottawa after rookies Adam Larsson (wrist) and Adam Henrique (groin) pulled out to nurse injuries. The Devils currently have the second best penalty killing unit in the league operating at a 89.2% success rate. Seven players on New Jersey's roster have more than 10 goals. Ilya Kovalchuk leads with 19 goals while Patrik Elias has seven power play goals and 46 points. Martin Brodeur is 14-12-2 in net this season. The Devils went 5-4-1 over their last ten games.
Buffalo Sabres (45 points, 14th place, 20-24-5)
The Rangers beat the Sabres 4-1 on December 10 in Buffalo. Rookie – and now fastest skating All Star – Carl Hagelin scored twice while Martin Biron made 32 saves for the win. The Sabres are struggling to find an identity and get in a groove this season. They are 2-7-1 over their last ten games. They ended a franchise record 12-game road losing streak in their shootout win over the Devils last week. Captain Jason Pominville leads the team with 47 points. He netted a goal and an assist in the All Star Game this weekend for Team Alfredsson. Ryan Miller has allowed 15 goals over his last five games in net.
Philadelphia Flyers (63 points, 4th place, 29-14-5)
The Rangers have won all three meetings against the Flyers this season, including the Winter Classic. In Philadelphia the Rangers overcame a two goal deficit to steal the victory before the thousands of disappointed fans in orange at Citizens Bank Park. Before the All Star break, the Flyers beat the Panthers 3-2 in a shootout. Late addition Scott Hartnell assisted on two goals in the All Star game including one for teammate Claude Giroux for Team Alfredsson. Rookie Sean Couturier showed he has some flashy hands in the Breakaway challenge of the Skills Competition. The Flyers have the fourth best power play in the league with a 20.4% success rate. Ilya Bryzgalov continues to be inconsistent in net. He allowed five goals against the Boston Bruins on January 22 after allowing just two goals in games prior to that.
Any cobwebs from the extended break will need to be shaken off as the Rangers start the second half push to the playoffs. With two rivals and a team fighting to be relevant, the Blueshirts should ignite back into a groove.

James Hood was one of two students (along with Vivian Juanita Malone Jones) that George Wallace faced down at the University of Alabama. I respect James Hood, for his calls of forgiveness and moderation. Like this picture with George Wallace much later in life. Robert Chew was an accomplished actor who played Proposition Joe on the HBO series The Wire. Which I've never seen. Although some of the Sailors at an old Navy command (three commands ago, yikes) could not stop talking about it. (Note: old Navy, not Old Navy. My old Navy. Not the clothes store Old Navy.

In year 1992, YONEX developed the world's first epoch-making technology in badminton ...the "ISOMETRIC Square Head Shape". This YONEX development continues to sets the pace of winning play. The Isometric Square Head Shape badminton racquet design provides a 32 percent larger effective hitting area than a conventional badminton racquet. Also, unlike a conventional badminton racquet with main and cross strings of varying length, the Isometric Square Head Shape equalizes the length of main cross strings in the stringbed-enlarging the sweetspot all-around for more consistent shot accuracy even on off-centre hits.

- How to Read a Study Record
This protocol offers diagnosis and standard medical treatment for various parasitic gastrointestinal infections. Gastrointestinal parasites are either worms (helminths) or one-celled animals called protozoans which live in the human intestines. Often, parasitic infections do not cause illness. In these cases, drug treatment is not indicated, because treatment can have adverse side effects. Patients will be examined for their immune responses, correlation between the number of parasites and disease, and other studies.
Individuals with known or suspected parasitic diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, including amebiasis, giardiasis, hookworm, strongyloidiasis, trichuriasis, pinworm, tapeworm, trichinosis, clonorchis, opisthorchis, coccidiosis, paragonimiasis, and echinococcus may be eligible for this study.
Patient evaluations may include blood and urine tests, stool examination, X-rays, ultrasound studies and, uncommonly, duodenal aspiration for examination of fluid from the duodenum (first part of the small intestine). Other tests may be required, depending on the parasite and disease. Direct examination of the tissues of the intestines may be required to rule out certain infections.
Research procedures include collection of stool, blood and duodenal fluid when the diagnosis has been established and these procedures are not required for medical care. Patients with strongyloidiasis may also be given a diagnostic skin test similar to skin tests for tuberculosis and allergies. Research procedures on children will be limited to collection of stool, urine and blood. No more than 7 milliliters (1 1/2 teaspoons) per kilogram (2.2 pounds) body weight of blood will be collected in children over a 6-week period. In adults no more than 30 tablespoons of blood will be collected in a 6-week period.
Parasites may fail to respond to treatment. In these cases, it may be necessary to grow the parasite in the laboratory in order to test treatments in the test tube. Patients who do not respond to standard medications and dosing may need different doses of drugs or drugs or combinations of drugs used in the United States for other medical problems. If these medications or doses are used, patients will be informed of their possible side effects.

The precis of this protocol is to allow the evaluation, treatment and study of patients with a variety of gastrointestinal parasites. This protocol primarily allows evaluation and treatment of patients with any intestinal parasite that requires a medical evaluation. The treatment and evaluation consists of standard of care. Research aspects include the collection and study of different parasite populations, analysis of the immune responses of the host, a correlation between parasite burden in the host and disease. These patients also serve as a source of reagents such as feces, white blood cells, and serum. The off-label use of FDA approved drugs is employed to treat symptomatic giardiasis in patients who cannot be cured otherwise and to determine empirically which regimens are effective and safe.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|3 Years and older

Irish prove they are playoff ready with a 52-6 victory over Roseburg
EUGENE, Ore. -- The Sheldon Irish football team continued their undefeated streak with a 52-6 victory over the Roseburg Indians.
Saturday's game marked the second time that the Irish faced off against Roseburg this season.
For wide receiver Dylan Lewis, Friday night's win meant more than last week's near shut-out against the David Douglas Scots.
"We did a lot better. We played more Sheldon football, as our coach would say. We were more fiery and intense; and our sideline was in the game. That was the difference from last week." Lewis said.
The Roseburg Indians punted on a turnover within the first few minutes. The Irish rebutted with a touchdown pass from quarterback Taylor Alie to wide receiver Connor Strahm, putting the team up 7-0.
The Indians took over with 8:44 left in the first quarter, only to be forced to punt.
During the next Irish possession, Alie ran the ball to the 27-yard line. For the next two plays Alie made consecutive passes to Strahm for an 8-yard gain, and to wide receiver Ivan Faulhaber for the second touchdown of the night.
With just 3:43 left in the first quarter, the Irish were up 14-0.
The Indians, again, failed to answer Faulhaber's touchdown with a score of their own, and were forced to punt.
Receiver Strahm took Roseburg's punt into Irish territory soon thereafter, only for it to be brought back on a holding penalty by the Irish.
There were a plethora of penalties during the Sheldon and Roseburg match up. Wide receiver Dylan Lewis, when speaking of the penalties, said, "We can't. It's going to lose us games down the road. We can't keep doing that."
At the start of the second quarter, after the penalty, quarterback Alie ran the ball on a keeper, to give the Irish the first down they were gunning for. The next play was a pass from quarterback Alie to receiver Faulhaber, who brought it in for another Irish touchdown, putting them up 20-0. During the PAT, another penalty – false start on the offense – set the Irish back five yards. However, the kick was still good, making the score 21-0.
The Indians failed again to move the ball, with notable tackles for losses by Irish defensive lineman Chet Spears and defensive back Mitch Lewis. The Indians punted after Irish defensive lineman Brett Nielson's tackle on 3rd down.
On the next play, quarterback Alie passed the ball to running back Yadie Dunmore, who had a notable run, only for it to be brought back on another penalty – personal foul – by the Irish. Quarterback Alie then carried the ball for a 1st down, and was tackled by Roseburg's Brendon Hopkins. Quarterback Alie soon passed the ball to receiver Strahm for another Irish touchdown, making the score 28-0, with 8:02 left in the first half.
In Roseburg's next possession, the Irish stopped the Indians again, forcing them to punt.
On the next Irish possession, quarterback Alie ran the ball down the sideline for an 82-yard touchdown run. However, the score was called back because of yet another penalty – block in the back. This brought Sheldon back to the 18-yard line.
Said quarterback Alie of the excessive amount of penalties: "That's something that we need to fix, because those are going to bite us in the butt down the road. They're just inexcusable. They're just bone-head mistakes, and we just need to get rid of them."
After a long pass to receiver Strahm, running back Mitch Lewis ran the ball in for another Irish touchdown. With 4:13 left in the half, the Irish were up by 35 points.
The Indians came up short once again during their next possession and punted to the Irish, who also failed to score again before the end of the 2nd quarter.
To start the third quarter, a combined effort of a pass to receiver Strahm, Alie's quarterback keepers, and hand-offs to running back Mitch Lewis geared the Irish up for their next touchdown. Running back Mitch Lewis racked up the next six points. The PAT was good.
With the Irish up 42-0, the Roseburg Indians tried again to put points on the scoreboard. However, their bad luck continued, when Sheldon linebacker James Banks intercepted a Roseburg pass.
Quarterback Alie said, "We came out and executed, I think, a lot better. We had a good practice, and it's always fun to see those backups get in because they work hard during the week. It was good to see them play hard."
With the ball in their own territory, the Irish capitalized on linebacker Banks' interception with a score by running back Justin Bethea.
Behind 49-0, Roseburg geared up for their only touchdown on the night. Two 15-yard penalties by the Irish helped to bring Roseburg's Levi Holden to the end-zone. The Indians missed the PAT, making the score 49-6.
In the fourth quarter, Roseburg was intercepted again, by Sheldon defensive back Gaje McDaniel. McDaniel's interception set up the final score of the game, when the Irish kicked a field goal to put them up, 52-6.
With the victory over Roseburg, the Sheldon Irish advance to the Quarterfinals, their road to the championships inching closer each week. Next, the Irish will face the Southridge Skyhawks, who defeated Bill Smith and the Century Jaguars on November 16, 41-8. That game falls the day after Thanksgiving: Friday, November 23.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (537 votes).
In short: Great well organised race, nice courseIn full: First time I've done this and really enjoyed it.Thought it was good value,very efficiently organised and friendly.Loved the inspirational signs at mile 8 and the technical top is certainly quite distinctive!Date of review: November 2, 2014
In short: Ran it last 2 years got PBs last 2 years.In full: My favourite Half Marathon bar none. No problems parking, no problems registering all like clockwork. Love the scenic route through Clumber Park. I have ran this event for the last 2 years and got a PB both times. I will be back every year if i am able to.Date of review: November 1, 2014
In short: Brilliant event!In full: My first time doing this run, and I loved it! The atmosphere is brilliant, everyone seems to be in a really good mood and the Marshalls are excellent!The hill at the start wasn't as bad as I had expected and from then on its a good mix of slight up and downs. I even managed a PB, which was an added bonus.I will definately be doing this again next year.Date of review: October 29, 2014
In short: Another great year for WorksopIn full: The climb at the start doesn't get any easier, after that its gently rolling hills, some say the route is bland but clumber park in autumn what's not to like. Work hard on the flats to enjoy the great last mile & you'll get your time back. Great race as it is every year, bag drop bit random but hey ho. Well done again Worksop.Date of review: October 27, 2014
In short: Amazing - well organised Date of review: October 27, 2014
In short: Glad I made the effortIn full: Glad I decided to run this event. The first mile is mostly uphill as you leave the town, before an undulating three-mile stretch along Ollerton Road. Eight miles of the course take you through the National Trust's Clumber Park with its bright autumn colours. The last mile leads you back downhill into town – a welcome relief after running into a biting wind for the previous two miles. Support from the marshals and spectators was excellent along the route. The sponges at around the nine-mile mark were a nice touch too, as were the humourous signposts offering encouragement. Perhaps the one thing lacking was a medal at the end. Personally I would prefer this to the technical T-shirt, given the choice. Certainly this is a well-organised event with a scenic course and a friendly atmosphere. I'd do it again.Date of review: October 27, 2014
In short: Really happy I entered this race, very scenic route and more undulating than hilly! Only one gripe was the start, very slow runners towards the front of the narrow start made for a frustrating first half mile! Will definitely be back here next year..Date of review: October 27, 2014

In short: Lovely undulating course with personality a few things need updatingIn full: Great course lovely scenery, some challenging hills and wind (on the day i did it) so not a PB course for all. great Tshirt and some personality in the race. Sponge station was a nice touch but no bag drop and cups of water at the water stations mean it could be more up to date to really north lincs, robin hood and now even chesterfield HMs locallyDate of review: October 26, 2014
In short: Spooky fun filled well organised would highly recommend Date of review: October 26, 2014
