This was just a for fun thing to see how high I could get in one sitting. I really don't care if my rank goes down. I'm not going to go out of my way to get it back up again. Just thought it would be fun to see how high I could get and that was second :D so I hope you had fun watching...

Victims' groups urge dismissal of Cardinal Law from Roman post
Catholic World News - August 04, 2010
Groups representing the victims of sexual abuse have called upon Pope Benedict XVI to dismiss Cardinal Bernard Law from his post as archpriest of St. Mary Major basilica.
The American cardinal—who resigned as Archbishop of Boston in 2002 amid emerging revelations of his failure to address sex-abuse complaints—will play a prominent role in ceremonies at the Roman basilica on August 5, as the Church celebrates the anniversary of the basilica's dedication. Critics of the Vatican response to the sex-abuse scandal argue that Cardinal Law's continued presence in a prominent position signals that Church leaders are still prepared to protect prelates who mishandled the crisis.

Few people know about the holiness of Cardinal Law. He is a holy man. The reason he was so harshly treated is that he stood up for the truth. He was vocal about gay marriage, abortion, the abuses of dissenting women religious, cafeteria catholics, clerical heretics, liturgical abuses etc. History will treat him well. I choose not to wait for history but rather to speak up for him now.

Why all the concentration on Cardinal Law? He has been the scapegoat for U.S. bishops who have done as much if not more damage to the Church in the U.S. What about Cardinal Mahony of L.A. diocese? I believe more money was meted out to victims of sex abuse in his diocese than any other and yet he remains right there to the end - until his retirement in Feb. 2011. And there are others. It is always Cardinal Law who receives the most criticism. I thank him forgiving us the Catholic Catechism.

LUBBOCK, TX -- The Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission is just one part of a larger group working to educate, and work to find sources, of sex trafficking in West Texas. The group is called the Domestic Minor Sex Trafficking Task Force.
The task force first started as a Community Assessment Group and then evolved into a task force. This task force includes members of LPD, LSO, the Lubbock County Criminal District Attorneys Office, ICE, DEA, and Representative Frullo's office, among others.
"That was the original mission of the TABC, was to investigate organized crime," Captain Mark Menn with TABC said.
This change for them is a re-focusing, going from just dealing with licensing to also working to fight organized crime. That can include narcotic sales, money laundering, as well as sex trafficking.
TABC is a one part, working to find sources of organized crime within TABC licensed locations.
"We're a good resource for other law enforcement agencies when they need to find out if someone in a bar is engaging in organized crime, and then once a case is made against a person, then we can come in and cancel that permit, and take that source of illegal income out of the chain," Captain Menn said.
Another group involved is the Lubbock Rape Crisis Center, also called Voice of Hope. They describe this has three phases, community awareness, educating professionals on signs of sexual assault, and building a regional resource center. A regional resource center would provide victims a place to go to receive treatment, something they said West Texas currently does not have.
"The industry is so widespread that you have to hit it at every single angle, sex traffickers are very wise businessmen, and they're very savvy, and know how to hide, and so you have to hit it at every level, you can't just hit it at one level, and one agency cannot, there's no way one agency can address all of the issues, there's just so many issues," Leslie Timmons with Voice of Hope said.
They also provided KLBK with a list of District Court filing from September 1, 2012 to August 31, 2013 in regards to cases filed for trafficking of persons. In that time period, Lubbock County had 12 cases filed, while the state of Texas had a total of 49 cases filed. That means Lubbock County has about 25% of the filings during that period, something those with Voice of Hope said is about average annually.
Captain Menn said now, a lot of TABC's work, whether dealing with alcohol violations or looking for organized crime, has shifted undercover. "We're doing a lot more undercover and plainclothes work cause it's more effective in checking these violations, and it's also less disruptive to business, going undercover, there's no problems, everything's going the way it should, we leave, no body even knows we were there," Captain Menn said.
Voice of Hope has a list for anyone who wants to report a tip, connect with anti-trafficking services, or wants general or training information.

Ping G25 Fairway Wood Love it!! I have the Anser and I cant wait to see how it compares to this. No frills just good quality clubs from Ping as always.Raaaawr Wonder how they designed the head as far as spin goes, especially compared to G20, Anser
Ping G25 Irons G25 look fine. Not like I'll put a red ring around the date on the calendar, but better than G20. Cavity is a fantastic improvement.

You won't find it on the MLS, and you won't find any pictures of the interior, but attempts at keeping this a secret have failed: X-Giant and infamous baseball player Barry Bonds has listed his Beverly Hills mansion for $25 million. Perhaps the combination of Bonds' fame and that of his chosen real estate agent pushed it all over the top: the former steroid-using, home run record-making slugger chose The Agency to sell his home. The Agency is fronted by Mauricio Umansky, who enjoys his own celebrity through his appearances on Bravo TV's The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
Though such TV role belies a desire for low profile, Umansky's Agency refused to comment or provide additional pictures of the Bonds mansion. We couldn't even get confirmation that the newly listed Beverly Park home you see pictured is indeed the Bonds estate. But since the property is a new listing, is $25 million, and is in Beverly Park, plus looks remarkably similar to the architecture shown in the aerial view, we're certain enough. Perhaps the idea is to allow Bonds to keep his privacy (and keep out crazed fans or non-fans) during the sale. The property–over 17,000 square feet, including 7 beds/13 baths, guest house and pool, 30-foot ceilings, gym and spa/sauna– certainly commands attention, as does the price. And of course, there's the exclusive Beverly Park location. The Agency doesn't need the media to sell this home, most likely. But that doesn't mean we don't want the story.

Product Details
Ford F-250 1999-2007, GEN2 Polished Stainless Steel Face Grille Guard by Onki®. This grille guard offers the identical design, shape, and strength of Onki's standard Stainless Steel guard, but substitutes traditional steel electro-coated with black paint in certain areas to create a lower-priced, value-oriented version. A full wraparound design gives a greater level of headlight assembly protection where others fall short. Easy, no-drill installation.
- Vertical upright sections and brackets are made from electro-painted traditional mild steel for price value
- All other grille guard sections are made from T-304 stainless steel
- Easy no-drill installation with all mounting hardware and instructions included
- Contoured to the lines of each specific make and model truck
- Unique wrap-around design fully protects sides of headlight assemblies
- Heavy-duty 3-piece modular construction
- Removable headlight guard sections
- Features pre-drilled holes for easy mounting of auxiliary lights
- Limited lifetime manufacturer warranty on stainless steel sections
- 3-year warranty on black carbon steel sections
For consumers seeking the best value in grille guard protection, Onki offers this version of their standard stainless steel guard at a lower price. Generation 2 guards come in the identical same shapes and designs, but use traditional mild steel electro-coated with black paint on vertical upright sections and on brackets underneath. Front-facing surfaces of upright sections are covered with a surface layer of stainless steel to match the rest of the grille guard. Unique, wrap-around corner designs are tailored to each vehicle and fully protect side areas of headlight assemblies that easily get damaged in side-corner incidents. Onki's Generation 2 Grille Guard mounts easily with no drilling, and comes with all mounting hardware and instructions.
Headlight grille sections are removable for vehicle cleaning, and pre-drilled holes on the grille guard allow no-fuss mounting of auxiliary lights. Electrocoating (Or E-coating) is a finishing process widely known by auto manufacturers to be the best way to apply paint. Upon submersion into the paint, a positive electrical charge is applied to the steel and an opposite negative charge is applied to the paint solution. This creates a seamless bond between the steel and paint for a uniform protective coating that resists flaking or cracking. Onki offers a limited lifetime warranty on stainless steel grille sections, and a 3-year warranty on black carbon steel sections.887.04Brand: Onki Part Number: 367466B This part is compatible with 42 vehicle(s)
Founded in California during the late 1990s, Onki Corporation has grown as a supplier of innovative sport utility and truck products due to their focus on high quality and customer service. Running boards available with creative colorful expressions and backlighting, grille guards, nerf boards, exhaust tips, and a selection of Hummer H2 accessories are just a few examples of the stylish and durable offerings from Onki. The company's goal is to become one of the leading auto accessory manufacturers and distributors in the United States, and Onki works hard to listen to customer needs and demands as they grow into tomorrow.

- Minnesota's AgBMP Loan Program: A Clean Water State Revolving Fund Success Story
EPA Region 5 Strategic Agricultural Initiative (SAI) Summary
June 2007
In partnership with the agricultural community, the EPA Region 5 SAI addresses the impacts of the Food Quality Protection Act on minor and specialty crops, and promotes Integrated Pest Management (IPM) and other sustainable practices to reduce pesticide risks to human health and the environment. Through outreach and grant-funding, Region 5 has invested considerable time in building and maintaining relationships with those farm groups most impacted by the Agency's regulatory priorities. To mitigate the impacts on minor crops, existing IPM programs need to be strengthened, incorporating new chemicals in combination with non-chemical control tactics and increased surveillance. Increased education and outreach to farmers to assist them with transition to alternatives has been necessary. The Region also promotes cross-media work with our external partners and within the Agency to advance the Agency's priorities.
Outreach: With the phase-out and/or restricted use of several organophosphates on the horizon, Midwestern farmers and processors are highly concerned. The Region 5 SAI coordinator has provided the agricultural community an identifiable face for EPA, as we have worked with University research and extension to present regulatory updates and promote IPM at meetings such as the WI Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Growers' Annual Meeting, and the MI IPM Alliance annual tour (which includes more than 10 minor and specialty crops, including apples, cherries, grapes, asparagus, carrots, potatoes, and the nursery industry). The Region organized and hosted a highly successful informational tour in Michigan for OPPTS Assistant Administrator Jim Gulliford and OPP staff on azinphos-methyl issues in the summer of 2006, allowing apple and cherry growers and University staff to discuss efforts to move away from organophosphates toward potential alternatives. Requests for SAI outreach continue to exceed 20 visits a year.
Grant funding: Region 5 grant successes include findings by Michigan State University that IPM-managed vineyards used 31% less carbaryl, 51% less phosmet, and 70% less azinphos-methyl in comparison to fruit from vineyards managed with a standard spray program. These results are representative of Region 5 SAI-funded grants, which place an emphasis on outcomes that produce measurable results in IPM advancement. A complete list of funded projects, results to-date, and anticipated outcomes of ongoing projects is available upon request.
Interagency/Cross-media efforts: The Region has placed an emphasis on working with our Federal Agency partners. While EPA has a regulatory mandate, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has the largest pool of resources to research new IPM strategies; educate farmers on advancements; and implement IPM strategies on farm. Region 5 has ongoing cooperative efforts with USDA entities such as the Sustainable Agriculture, Research and Education Program (SARE) and the USDA/CSREES Integrated Pest Management Centers. These efforts include the evaluation of Federal IPM programs. Efforts to advance the Region's understanding of agricultural issues across media have also been highly successful. The SAI approach to working with agriculture can help inform future agency efforts to engage this unique and varied stakeholder group.
The ongoing Region 5 SAI investment of time, travel funds, and grant dollars in the future will help mitigate the impacts of regulations on growers, and reduce the risk to consumers, farm workers, and the environment. OPP priorities to reduce the impacts of high-risk chemicals such as organophosphates and fumigants will continue to shape the Region 5 SAI efforts.

Integrated Pest Management (IPM) and Michigan Grapes
June 2007
The EPA Region 5 Pesticide Program is one of several partners supporting an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) collaboration in Michigan. Participating members of the Michigan Grape Growers, with funding from Region 5 and additional support from Michigan State University Extension, were able to use their new IPM training and tools to significantly reduce their use of insecticides and fungicides while saving money, maintaining the high quality of their grape crops, and helping to protect sensitive Lake Michigan shoreline area ecosystems.

VERONA, Wis. -- The sixth-ranked Wisconsin men's cross country team made a strong statement at the Zimmer Championship Course on Saturday, as the Badgers captured a second-place team finish at the second-annual Wisconsin adidas Invitational. The UW men were led by a trio of Badgers who finished in the top 10, contributing to a team score of 75.No. 25 Indiana claimed the team win in the 8-kilometer race with 43 points. No. 23 Princeton claimed third-place with 112 points, followed by 11th-ranked Syracuse in fourth with 131 points. No. 15 Oklahoma ended up with 132 points for a close fifth-place finish. In all, the Zimmer Championship Course found itself host to 21 men's teams, with eight nationally ranked in the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) national poll.Junior Elliot Krause paced the Badgers by taking fourth place overall and crossing the finish line first for UW with a time of 23:33. "On the whole we got out here and ran well," Krause said. "We just need to fine-tune things tactically and have more patience."Senior Landon Peacock and sophomore Mohammed Ahmed were able to record fifth and sixth-place finishes, respectively. Peacock clocked in at 23:36 and Ahmed recorded a time of 23:45. Sophomore Reed Connor also ran for Wisconsin, taking 18th place and clocking in at 24:00, and was shortly followed by junior Phil Thomas, whose time of 24:23 gave him 42nd place. Redshirt freshmen Alex Brill and Drew Shields competed in Badger uniforms as well, with Brill taking 72nd in a time of 24:41 and Shields clocking in at 24:54 to claim 94th.Head coach Mick Byrne was largely pleased with his team's performance but stressed the need for patience on the part of the Badgers. "The guys just didn't run really smart with leading into the wind and we need to make those adjustments and be a bit more patient," Byrne said. Racing among eight nationally-ranked teams, the Badgers used the meet as a primer for the Big Ten and NCAA championship meets. "It was nice to get out here and run among these top teams" Krause said. "It's definitely something we have gotten used to and today is a big confidence builder going into the bigger meets."We still need to make sure we run smarter with the Big Ten Championships come around.""We were all pretty relaxed going into this meet, even though there was tough competition" Peacock added.In preparation for the larger meets, Byrne says that the Badgers will be able to use this performance as experience, as they have not reached their full potential yet."The guys ran pretty well today considering where we are at in our training," Byrne said. "No one likes to lose on your home course but it was still great to be able to run at home."Wisconsin's Zimmer Championship Course seemed to be well received amongst the stiff competition. "There hasn't been a single negative comment about the Zimmer Course" Byrne said. "People have been saying that we have to host the national championships here."The UW men have two weeks to regain their strength before heading to the Bill Dellinger Invitational in Eugene, Ore., on Oct. 16.

It's been a busy first day at the new T.J. Maxx at the Ward Village Shops.
The store opened Thursday to an eager crowd of shoppers.
Those who are there said that one of the lines had a one-hour-long wait.
Another line had to be directed outside of the door into the hallway near the parking structure.
We will have a full report of the first day of T.J. Maxx at Ward Village tonight on KITV4 News at 6.

Point taken, but it's arguably better whiskey than, say, HH gold label BiB or Mellow Corn (both also everyday pours in my house), and definitely better than the current Fitz. But heaven only knows how fast it would disappear if if were under $15 a bottle.
"and only 4 years ago could often be found on sale for $11."
Four years ago a SB Member helped me out and procured 3 for me at that price. That was how it all got started between me and RITT. I have watched the price creep and have no problem with it at $20. How much more I will bear is a question I can't answer right now. If it sticks around $20 it will continue to be a staple.
I'm very fond of the $20 - $30 pricepoint. It nice just to drink and not think about price, makes it even more enjoyable in the long run.
Pikesville! Best (and cheapest) 80 proof rye on the market!
I finally cracked a Willett 3yr that I bought back in January. I have had several 4&5yr Willett's and found them quite enjoyable. However, this one is thin and tastes young.

Crosbys, Harpeggios advance to semifinals of ICCA competition
This is the second time both groups have moved past the divisional round in the same year. It is also the seventh time the Crosbys have advanced to the regional rounds of the competition; something the group has done every year it has competed since the competition's inception in 1996. The Crosbys have advanced to the finals of the competition three times, more than any other group, and won the ICCA in 2003. About 30 alumni of the two groups, in addition to family, fans and friends, attended the semifinal concert.
The Crosbys and Harpeggios will next compete in the regional semifinals at 2 p.m. Saturday, Mar. 26, at Yale University. They will join six other groups including the Satin Dolls, NYU's APC Rhythm, the University of New Hampshire's Not Too Sharp and Alabaster Blue, the University of Hartford's L'Shir and the University of Vermont's Cat's Meow. The top three groups will advance to the regional finals that evening. The winners of the regional final will advance to the ICCA Finals on Apr. 30, in Alice Tully Hall at Lincoln Center in New York City.
In addition to their successful perfor-mance at the competition, the Crosbys' recent album, "Crabs and Tartar Sauce", has been nominated for several Contem-porary A Cappella Recording Awards (CARA), which recognize excellence in a cappella albums produced by professional and collegiate groups. The Crosbys' album was nominated for Best Male Collegiate Album; Best Male Collegiate Song for "Mama," arranged by Adam Gross; Best Male Collegiate Arrangement for "Right Now," arranged by Mike Boxer; and Best Male Collegiate Solo for Evan Behlivanis on "Mama." The group was last nominated for a CARA award in 1999, when Mike Van Allen was named runner-up in the Best Collegiate Arrangement category for his work on the album Super Bo's. Award winners will be announced Apr. 1.

Echoes from Gettysburg 150 Years Later
June 29, 2013 - 2:38 pm
The highlight of the observance will come on Sunday, when 10,000 Civil War re-enacters will take part in a recreation of the battle. They will have paid their own way, provided their own props and uniforms, and fought the battle using the same tactics used by the combatants at the time. They will pray for cool weather given that their wool uniforms are incredibly uncomfortable. And many of them will probably weep, overcome with emotion during the re-enactment, as many of the 13,000 re-enactors wept during the filming of Pickett's Charge in Gettysburg.
Visitors — even those who know a little something of what transpired on those few square miles of ground — will tour the grounds as if it were a religious shrine. Speaking in hushed tones, sober, somber Americans will read the plaques, listen to the hugely knowledgeable park service employees as they relate interesting tidbits about the battle, and marvel at the courage demonstrated during the most famous battle in American history where the two sides came to death grips at a stone wall at the crest of a gently rolling hill known as Cemetery Ridge.
You ask yourself, "Could I have done what they did?" Could you have marched across the bloodiest 8/10 of a mile in America as Pickett's men did? Could you have stood your ground while 12,000 screaming rebels were coming right for you? Trying to answer those questions tells us a lot about ourselves as individuals and Americans.
In John Keegan's Fields of Battle: The Wars for North America, the author takes us on a journey into the distant past to fortresses and battlefields where once desperate men fought desperate actions in forgotten conflicts and where the battlefields have largely been reclaimed by nature. This will never happen with Gettysburg. It isn't that 51,000 Americans on both sides were killed or wounded, or that it was a turning point in the war. Gettysburg will always be maintained as a living monument to our desire for freedom. It is a symbol of our commitment to liberty — forged in the blood of the Revolution and made flesh by the sacrifice of so many in Pennsylvania.
Perhaps that's the most important echo from the battle that reaches us 150 years after the guns went silent and the dead were buried.

This is going to be interesting to say the least. She does work full time and she will be in the basement for the most part so hopefully cohabitation isn't that bad. When Rob and I were first starting out we lived together for a bit to help her so we've done it before.
We need to get the basement sorted and organized. NOT A SMALL TASK. Oy! I'm tired just thinking about it.
Have you ever lived with or had a relative live with you? We've had my mom and then my SIL live with us in this house when they needed help.
I moved in with my parents for a few years after my ex and I separated. I needed space far from him and time to get my life in order. I moved back when my DS was school aged so he could still spend plenty of time with his dad. It was an interesting time. We did ok, but my mom and I are way too alike in some respects and clash at times.
Oh and good luck with the MIL!
We lived with each of our parents for very brief times. It didn't work out either time.
We lived with my parents at the beginning of our marriage. I don't think I could do it again now that we have been on our own for so long.
Quoting usmom3: We lived with my parents at the beginning of our marriage. I don't think I could do it again now that we have been on our own for so long.
I stayed with my dad in Texas (for about a year) to run his business and help take care of him - his wife passed away from brain cancer and he had his leg amputated, all in the same month. I hope it works out for you, I know it can be tough sometimes... especially since you all are there 24/7.
For 2 years, I took care of my 90 year old Mom, who had dementia and diabetes, until she passed away. Because of her memory loss, and needing to watch her blood sugar, It was very difficult. But I am so glad I did. She was well worth the time. I could of enjoyed her more had I just accepted the fact that she was passing, and I was not going to cure her.
I lived with my parents for a month when I was 23 and moving my job and apartment between cities. That was good enough for me and I wouldn't do it again!
Good luck organizing your basement. Will she be with you very long?
Lord have mercy.
Once I get out of my parents' house (soon! I just got a job and start Monday!) I plan on never living with family again.

HOME > Greetings from Chairman
This year marks the tenth anniversary of our Institute's foundation. In the years since our establishment, there has been a dramatic transformation in the circumstances relating to health policy, with increasing public participation in the policymaking process, deteriorating public finances, and a change of government among many other political upheavals. In advanced nations, against a background of aging societies, rising rates of chronic disease, widening social disparities, and worsening financial conditions, new social frameworks need designing and implementing to create sustainable societies where each individual can live a healthier life. Moreover, in emerging countries, disease structures are changing, and long-term efforts to combat infectious disease must be expanded to include measures against chronic disease. Thus, to resolve common problems now shared across borders, it has become more important than ever to bring together a broad diversity of domestic and international stakeholders to debate the issues and seek solutions, and to develop global activities drawing on cross-sector collaboration.
In consideration of this evolving health policy environment, and as healthcare develops and expands from traditional frameworks, our Institute intends to expand on its efforts to date by developing activities with a greater potential for impact on global society. Accordingly, as of February 1, 2011, the Institute will change its English name from "Health Policy Institute, Japan" to "Health and Global Policy Institute" and redefine its mission and vision to better reflect this increased global focus.
To tackle the challenges in global health and healthcare, what is required is responsible decision-making based on open discussion among wide-ranging domestic and international stakeholders. Our intention at HGPI is to bring these people together and work alongside them, presenting health and healthcare policy options and aiming at realization of a healthy, prosperous, and sustainable society.
We ask for your understanding of our aims and activities, and welcome your participation in the symposiums, seminars, and other events we organize in the months and years ahead. Through deep discussion with all involved, and from a broad perspective fixed firmly on a sustainable future, we want to offer practical and achievable solutions for a healthy society.
Health and Global Policy Institute. Chairman Kiyoshi Kurokawa

Sunshine and 85 please...

posted Sep 27 2010 7:45AM
With the help of my co-worker (Desiree) across the hall, I am counting down the days until we set sail on this year's Froggy101 Cruise. I have to wonder if this, like waiting for Christmas to come when I was 5, is not the hardest time of my life to get through.
I haven't been on a true vacation in three years. Oh sure I've been off from work for a week long stretch, but going somewhere or doing tourist type stuff (where you dress weird and look up at scenery a lot) I have not done. I am really pumped about getting away for a while but it comes with a heavy price:
getting through the week before you leave!
I mean think about it: You have your mind set on the vacation you'll soon be on, you can't concentrate on any details of the day's events at all, you have a lot of things to do to get ready to take the trip, not to mention all the stuff you may need to make sure is covered at home so you can go on the trip at all.
So, this week, I'll work like an animal, totally distracted, frantic and bothered, hurried and hassled, yet happily still dreaming of tropical breezes and sleeping late, all the while counting down the days till we depart... all together now, say it with me: "6"!

Jacques-Yves Cousteau was a French naval officer, ocean explorer, filmmaker, TV presenter and preservationist. He and Émile Gagnan designed the Aqua-Lung, the first self-contained underwater breathing apparatus, or scuba. It made longer trips underwater possible. He brought the underwater world to millions by filming his adventures on the Calypso, a ship he turned into a lab and field research vessel.
Cousteau died June 25, 1997, in Paris at age 87. To celebrate the centennial of his birth, here are a few clips celebrating his long career and passion for the ocean and its creatures.

Officials arrest 2 in Oxnard child prostitution case
Two people have been arrested in Oxnard on suspicion of forcing a 15-year-old girl into prostitution at a house where 10 other children also were found, police said Monday.
Police said they went to the house in the 100 block of North Harrison Avenue about 11:55 a.m. Saturday after getting a tip that a 15-year-old girl was being held there and forced into prostitution.
Officers found the teen with Rolando Ramirez, 34, and Graciela Vasquez, 23, Oxnard police said.
Vasquez had taken the teen there and induced her to engage in sex with older men, according to police. Ramirez had sex with the girl, police said.
Vasquez was arrested on suspicion of inducing a child to engage in a lewd act, conspiracy to commit a crime and contributing to the delinquency of a minor, police said.
She was taken to Ventura County jail, where she was being held Monday. She also faces a deportation hearing, police said.
Ramirez was taken to county jail but released Sunday pending a promise to appear in court, police said.
Police said they found 10 other children living at the home with a woman who was renting it. The children range in age from 5 months to 13 years.
Child Protective Services personnel removed the children from the home, police said.
Authorities said they were still investigating the role, if any, of the woman renting the home.
Jennie Pittman, a senior manager with the county's human services agency, which oversees Child Protective Services, said the county's primary concern in cases such as this is the children's well-being.
While she declined to give specifics about the case, Pittman said children are generally placed with relatives, in foster care or in a temporary shelter when they are removed from a home.
"Our primary concern is their well-being," Pittman said.
The block where the house is was abandoned Tuesday night. It is about a block east of Oxnard Boulevard and near the La Colonia neighborhood.

What They Wore: Comic-Con 2012
Now that Comic-Con is pretty much just Everything-Con (what does Glee have to do with comics?), a lot more celebrities are prancing around the convention amongst the Sailor Moons and Quail Mans and Last Airbenders. Unfortunately they're usually in normal people clothes, not wings and thigh-high boots and helmets, which sucks, but alas, what can we do.
Here's what celebs like Kristen Stewart, Michelle Williams, Mila Kunis, and more wore to the Con.

BUZZ: Moving From Six Divisions To Four
At ESPN.com, Pierre LeBruin writes that there has been early talk of the NHL moving from six divisions back to four divisions as part of realignment.
LeBrun says that the league will explore many options in regards to realigning the divisions before the 2012-13 season.
They should go back to the old names of the divisions, or make them have more modern player names. It's an interesting idea, but I tend to think that everything can stay the same and Nashville can just move over to the southeast division.

It is a well-known fact that Labradors are a rather soothing presence, especially if they happen to be trained therapy dogs.
Still, the news that one such pooch has recently helped a woman deliver her baby is bound to take some people by surprise.
The staff at the St. Michael's Hospital in Bristol explain that this Labrador, named Barney, was only allowed inside the maternity ward because its owner argued that its presence would make it easier for her to go through the two-hour long labor.
Daily Mail reports that, prior to the dog's being allowed to enter the maternity ward, medical experts made sure that its presence there would not in any way constitute a threat to either the child or its mother.
"This is the first time any of the hospital's staff can remember such a thing happening. They're now worried that other women will be allowed to do the same because a precedent has been set," a spokesperson for the St. Michael's hospital commented with respect to this incident.

Grand Haven City Manager Pat McGinnis said the city's public works crews will be taking over maintenance of the park.
The issue is the result of a series of lawsuits and rulings related to the death of a Nunica child from injuries he suffered while sledding at the park in 2009.
While reviewing one of the lawsuits, an Ottawa County Circuit Court judge ruled the park belonged to the city and not to the park's trust, thus giving governmental immunity to the park trustees at the time – Ed Lystra, Jerry Scott and Rodney Griswold. A separate lawsuit targeting DeHare was set aside pending an appeal.
After the Circuit Court decision, the city formed a new, five-member Duncan Park Commission that kept DeHare on as its caretaker.
However, the Michigan Court of Appeals ruled in March that the trust, not the city, owned the park. McGinnis said that ruling caused a lot of confusion about what should be done with the park — and, in the meantime, the city attorney advised the city that it could not access park funds, which are held by the Grand Haven Area Community Foundation.
DeHare can't be hired as a part-time parks worker for the city because of union restrictions, the city manager said.
Several years ago, officials were already having discussions with the former Duncan Park commissioners about the possibility of the city taking over the park when the fatal sledding incident happened, McGinnis said. The park commissioners at the time had not met for more than two years, he said.
Chance Nash, 11, died from injuries he suffered when his sled ran into a snow-covered stump at the park on Dec. 31, 2009.
McGinnis pointed out a license agreement between the Duncan Park Commission and the city in 1994 allows the city to use the park "solely for the benefit of the people of Grand Haven and for no other purposes." Because of the license, McGinnis said the current commission will continue to oversee operations to make sure the park is run in the manner set forward in the deed establishing the trust.

WATERTOWN City police arrested a Dexter man after they said he stole eight XBox games from his roommate and subsequently sold them.
Michael J. Shawcross, 18, whose address was listed as 17660 Evans Road, Dexter, stole the games from Joseph L. Reyes Jr., of 221 Clinton St., where the two were living, police said.
At about 6 p.m. on April 2, Mr. Shawcross took the games from the residence and brought them to the Stream building, 146 Arsenal St., where he apparently sold them, police said.
He turned himself in at the Metro-Jefferson Public Safety Building at 8:20 a.m. Tuesday on a charge of petit larceny. Police did not give a value for the games.
He was issued an appearance ticket to City Court.

text: Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 review Mobile Phone Reviews 06 September 12 by Dave Oliver Samsung 7/10 Wired rating Wired Dual-core processor, decent camera Tired Older version of Android, boring design Price £245 Samsung may have taken a bloody nose from Apple in the pair's ongoing legal dispute, but it continues to keep the smartphones coming at all ends of the spectrum. This mid-range update of last year's Ace offers an improved dual-core processor, larger screen and slightly slimmer casing.Design The Ace 2 design is standard Samsung, in that it's a black slab with rounded corners and a sliver of chrome running round the sides. The thin plastic back makes it feel a little cheap, though it goes some way to keep down the weight.You might expect a brand-new midrange phone from Samsung to come with the latest version of Android, but sadly the Galaxy Ace 2 comes with Gingerbread, which now looks to be lagging quite a bit behind Ice Cream Sandwich and the very latest Jelly Bean versions. Not that it's a bad OS by any means (despite what Apple executives may try to tell you) and it gets a little bit of a light dusting with the Samsung TouchWiz 4.0 interface and its accompanying widgets. Even so, it's beginning to look somewhat behind the curve. Roll on the upgrade, though there's no guarantee of if, or when, that will be.The 3.8-inch touchscreen offers a so-so resolution of 800x480 pixels but is certainly bright and fairly sharp too. It suffers in comparison with more upmarket Samsungs by the lack of Amoled technology, which ups the vibrancy of the colours, but that aside, there's little to object to. It's beautifully sensitive too, reacting quickly and accurately to our brushes and strokes both through the menus and on the onscreen keyboard, which is a bit tight in portrait mode, but nice n easy to use in landscape.Features and performance Samsung extras include the Samsung Apps store (what's the point?), as well as the Social Hub (useful for pulling together your social networking updates), plus the Game Hub and Music Hub, which give you the opportunity to buy online.Its dual-core processor compromises a little on power, since it's an 800MHz model backed by 768MB RAM (as opposed to the 1GHz+ devices we've been seeing more regularly of late). So while it's got a bit more poke than the average single-core equivalent (and should be a bit more efficient too), its AnTuTu performance benchmark rating of 4,606 lags behind other dual-core devices like the Huawei Ascend P1 or the Sony Xperia P. still, it felt nippy enough in practise, with no sign of lag when switching between apps, though graphics-heavy websites can sometimes take a few seconds to load, even with a Wi-Fi connection.The five-megapixel camera includes autofocus and an LED flash. It's not the last word in snappers but it's reasonably fast, and offers pretty good quality pics, with fairly accurate colours and pleasingly sharp edges. There's also now a VGA camera on the front for video calls.How good is the phone's camera? Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 sample photos You can boost the 4GB of on-board memory by 32GB when you slip a microSD card into the slot on the side, though there's none supplied as standard.The decently sized 1,500mAh battery did an okay job, delivering a good day-and-a-half of fairly heavy use.Conclusion The Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 offers some welcome improvements to the original model with its beefed up processor and larger screen, plus its rather impressive camera. It's a shame that it's using an old version of Android but it still offers a pretty good spec for the price. Specifications Software Android 2.3 Gingerbread Processor Dual-core 800MHz Memory slot Yes Display 3.8in 800x480 pixels Connectivity Wi-Fi b/g/n, Bluetooth Ports microUSB, 3.5mm headphone jack Camera 5 megapixel with LED Flash, auto focus; VGA (640x480)front-facing camera Video playback MPEG4, H.263, H.264, WMV, RV Audio playback MP3, AAC, AAC+, eAAC+, WMA, FLAC, OGG, RA Radio Yes Battery 1500mAh Size 118x62x11mm Weight 119g Edited by Nate Lanxon Comments Had one of these for a couple of months now and very pleased with it. Nippy performance, great call quality - though I agree that you can see its budget origins in the build quality.But you guys really need to take more account of price points when reviewing phones - I am paying 16 a month for my Ace 2, where a Galaxy S3 or an iPhone 4S would be twice the cost. Certainly either of those is a better phone - but twice as good? No chance. Barry Barrington Sep 7th 2012 It definitely will be getting ICS, but no idea when. I had confirmation confirmation direct from Samsung a while ago. I asked specifically about the Galaxy Ace 2, and they said:Customer reference number: xxxxxxxxxx Email response ID: xxxxxxxxxx Please quote your customer reference number when contacting Samsung Dear xxxxxxxx, Thank you for contacting Samsung. Samsung UK has been working as hard as possible over the last few weeks to get Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) rolled out to all our customers, this will include your model. However we can not estimate a timeframe for this release, I would advise you check the Samsung website regulary for any news. If you require any further assistance, please contact Samsung again and we will be more than happy to help. Kind regards, Online Support Team SAMSUNG Customer Support Centre Jonathan Sep 7th 2012 Am seriously thinking about buying this phone.Wish it had ICS though. before I buy.Have the Ace and have found it superb for what I want. Del Sep 12th 2012 Am seriously thinking about buying this phone.Wish it had ICS though. before I buy.Have the Ace and have found it superb for what I want. Del Sep 12th 2012 Have the "Sleep of Death" problems, widely reported for the original Galaxy Ace, been resolved in this updated model? This problem discouraged me from buying this Angus Day Oct 2nd 2012 In reply to Angus Day I just bought the Ace 2 and it has that problem. Yesterday it stayed on almost the whole day but today in a couple of minutes it restarted 3 times... :( nuno Feb 25th 2013 I have the Ace 2. Agreed with all the reviews above. I used Antutu Benchmark from Play Store and I got 6087 score. How come did you get that 4606 score? Nova Fung Jan 1st 2013 I own the Ace 2 and can confirm the SOD issue does exist. Also, despite being around 8 months old, the phone still runs GB with no updates in sight. Nick Jan 30th 2013 I own the Ace 2 and can confirm the SOD issue does exist. Also, despite being around 8 months old, the phone still runs GB with no updates in sight. Nick Jan 30th 2013 I got a galaxy y as my first smarthphone on payg. It was a steal at the time for £69.99. Unfortunately it uses gingerbread and gets very slow after you get a few apps over 10mb each.It has the same processor as an Ace and has basically the same performance. But, and I mean a BIG but, I have had to go into the settings and ticked the 2g only button! Why??? Cos the Y sux ass in 3g. Really I had to lean out my window to get any reception whatsoever. not 3g internet. I mean regular txts and calls. My friend has an Ace and I asked him did he have same problem. Obviously not as he didnt even know what setting I was talking bout. Also the Y has a terrible battery life. Frequently its runs right out when im asleep. I use 2g only to save battery most of the time(and get proper reception) but the odd time i want to look online at a map for instance, I forget to go back to settings and turn the 3g to 2g. the consequences are ridiculous!!!! i wont get any txts or calls at all if indoors, and also my batt runs out during the night and i miss the alarm and sleep in for work!!! So dont get a galaxy Y ever unless its for a young kid. Im buying an Ace 2 tomorrow as im payg. yippee its only 20quid more than an Ace guy fawkes Feb 2nd 2013 Reply to a comment Name Email Comment Submit » Latest on wired.co.uk

The Linchpin of Your Brand
Your logo is the face and visual identity of your company, organization, business, or entity. Your logo should accurately and effectively capture your entity's level of professionalism, credibility, attitude, and spirit through its shapes, colors, fonts, and imagery, because in a split-second it is sending a specific message to everyone who sees it.
Why would a business not pay very close attention to the design of their company logo knowing
that it is created to do all of these things? Your brand begins with your logo. Please take it seriously.
Consider these critical points:
• A logo is the very first impression people get of your company.
• A logo needs longevity.
• A logo needs to be original.
• A logo should look professional.
• A logo should reflect the time and thought gone in to designing it.
• A logo is the starting point of your whole corporate brand image.
When you look at a logo, you should ask these questions:
• Is it memorable?
• Is it effective without color?
• Is it scalable?
• Does it command its own space?
• Does it gain immediate recognition?
• Does it convey the company's personality, character or attitude?
• Does it relate to the business by conveying a feeling of familiarity and credibility?
• Does it convey a feeling of quality and satisfaction?
The new Terry logo is already in use! Local businesses and community members have embraced the logo's elegant design and the message conveyed by Evelyn Cameron's silhouette. We are also excited to move forward with the distribution of the gorgeous rack card you put together for us as we begin to expand our marketing and branding efforts. We sincerely believe it will appeal to a wide variety of visitors and aid Terry in further defining its niche in the tourism market. Another simple thank you just isn't enough to express our gratitude.
