This past week-10 days has been crazy in the Davis house! My oldest DD is playing volleyball and had games on Monday and then a tournament on Wednesday (it was nearly 5 hours long!). Her team took the championship for the second year! I am so proud of her and the team! She also turned 13 on Thursday...my baby is growing up! She is turning into a beautiful, smart, and talented young lady.
Our little dachshund hurt his back Thursday night and by Friday morning he couldn't walk at all. My DH and I were planning to go out of town, but before we could leave we had to take him to the vet. There are only a few options for him and surgery is $2600. I love him very much, but I cannot pay that to fix his back and then it not even work. So, we opted for the steroids, pain meds, and cage rest for 6 weeks. He received a steroid shot in his back and started the pain med and prednisone Friday at the vet. We had my MIL watch him Friday evening and check in Saturday morning. She called us in the morning and said he was standing to use the bathroom, but still very weak. Still it was an answer to a lot of prayers! ByMonday night he was walking and even trying to trot around when we took him out. He still on strict cage rest and has to be carried outside to use the bathroom and kept on a leash so he won't try to do more than he should. However, we are vary thankful for the answered prayers and the healing he has received!
Friday night my DH and I went to Salina to watch Kansas in concert. It was an amazing show! We had a great time out for his birthday! Saturday we met up with some family and the girls all did a Monster Spider Jump ( I will have to download some pics) and they had a blast! Then dinner for my DD's birthday. Sunday we had a big lunch, cake, and ice cream at our house for my DD, DH, and my mom. My DH and my mom both had their birthday on the 7th. What a celebration! I am so blessed with the family I have been given!
Monday brought a day of the stomach bug and now I am getting back to normal and ready to start my work week!

May 6, 2016
PHOENIX -- After a frantic hour-long desert search, authorities found a deputy injured in a shootout Friday with suspected illegal immigrants apparently hauling bales of marijuana along a major smuggling corridor in southern Arizona.
The Pinal County sheriff's office says the deputy was shot with an AK-47 on Friday afternoon and suffered a superficial wound -- a chunk of skin torn from just above his left kidney.
He was flown by helicopter to a hospital in Casa Grande, about 40 miles south of Phoenix.
The agency says the deputy was doing smuggling interdiction work and found bales of marijuana in the desert.
He then encountered five suspected illegal immigrants, two armed with rifles, and was shot.
The deputy was alone about halfway between Phoenix and Tucson.

Lemons, Lemon Trees, Limoncello
Posted on
During my many culinary adventures to the Amalfi Coast in Italy, my guests often return home with beautiful ceramics decorated with the famous Amalfi lemon motif.
Taking a drive along the Amalfi coast through the steep and rocky terrain it's easy to become distracted by the stunning terraced gardens bursting with lemon trees. These lemon trees have been growing here for over 200 years, dotting the area with two varieties of lemons and, three times a year you can catch proud farmers harvesting them as you drive by.
A couple of centuries ago lemon production involved the whole town. Every lemon was harvested one by one and sold individually. The women then carried the fruit downhill in large baskets on their shoulders. Fishermen later transferred the harvest to large ships moored offshore. Today, the farmers continue to build new terraces carrying on the traditions of bringing lemon harvests up and down the stone steps. Lemons are still handpicked, crated and loaded on the farmer's back.
Grown along the Amalfi Coast, the Sfusato Amalfitano variety is famous for their elongated and pointed shape while the Limone di Sorrento that are found on the Sorrento coastline are more plump. Both are so intense in color and their skins so rich in essential oil that they're commonly added to salads, and regularly used in marinades, sauces and in seafood dishes, to season green vegetables and also to add tangy sweetness to desserts, like Mamma Agata's famous lemon cake!
So, when life hands you such a bounty of large, luscious lemons why stop at cooking and baking with them when you can sip limoncello? Ahhh… limoncello. I can't think of a better way to end a long and fulfilling day of touring southern Italy than with a serving of biscotti and a short glass of liquid sunshine to tickle my taste buds.
For those of you who don't know, limoncello is a gorgeous sweet and tangy liqueur made from the zest of the lemon that is enjoyed very cold on its own or in a cocktail. It uses the rind of Amalfi lemons soaked in either grain alcohol or vodka to release the oils and then mixed with sugar and water.
Take in the bright yellow color and the lemon scent then close your eyes and I'm fairly certain the experience will follow you home with dreams of returning for more.

Get to know the Welsh actor whose Adam has swept Kurt Hummel off his feet on the Fox series
Oliver Kieran-Jones can do a mean Marge Simpson impression. Tipped off by a fan, when we caught up with the Wales-born actor last week we quizzed him on his accents and impressions and along with the spot-on Simpsons character he also dropped in and out of Welsh, British, American and Irish with ease. Aside from his natural British accent, we don't think those particular skills will come in handy as his new gig as Adam Crawford, the first boy to sweep Kurt Hummel off his feet on "Glee" after this season's breakup of power-couple Klaine. (But it's "Glee" so we're not counting anything out!)
Oliver-as-Adam made his first appearance two weeks ago with a cheeky performance of "Baby Got Back" alongside his ragtag NYADA glee club, the Adam's Apples, and will continue for at least two more upcoming episodes this season. We caught up with Kieran-Jones to talk about his whirlwind "Glee" casting, what he thinks of his character Adam and the fan reaction to him, and what it's like jumping the pond to try his hand at the American film and TV scene.

PHOTOS: The Tampa Bay Buccaneers Cheerleaders are back in action!
(CBS Sports/AP) -- Paul Tagliabue affirmed NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell's findings in the New Orleans Saints bounty case, but in a stunning turn of events, vacated all player discipline.
Tagliabue did find that the players' conduct was detrimental to the league. He says they participated in a performance pool that rewarded key plays - including hard tackles - that could justify fines.
His bounty ruling was announced by the NFL and the former Commissioner,
filling in for Goodell after the current commish recused himself from
the appeal hearings, decided that while Goodell's findings were
factually accurate, the "entire case" was "contaminated" by the Saints
"Unlike Saints' broad organizational misconduct,
player appeals involve sharply focused issues of alleged individual
player misconduct in several different aspects," Tagliabue said in a
statement. "My affirmation of Commissioner Goodell's findings could
certainly justify the issuance of fines. However, this entire case has
been contaminated by the coaches and others in the Saints'
Saints linebacker Jonathan Vilma initially had been suspended the whole season, while Saints defensive end Will Smith, Cleveland linebacker Scott Fujita and free agent defensive lineman Anthony Hargrove received shorter suspensions.

Electrical Fleas
Source: Babycenter Community
Mom Rating
Ages: 5-8+ years
In: Science
Instructions:You're probably familiar with some of the effects of static electricity: Static electricity makes the sparks when you comb your hair on a cold day, and it makes balloons stick to the wall at a birthday party. In this experiment, static electricity makes electric "fleas" jump up and down.
A sheet of acrylic plastic or other clear plastic (about 1 foot [30 cm] square and 1/s inch [3 mm] thick).
A piece of wool cloth or fur.
4 supports about 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5 cm) high (tuna cans work nicely).
A large piece of white paper, 11 x 17 inches (28 x 43 cm).
Tiny bits of "stuff." Aluminized ceiling glitter works well, as do grains of rice, puffed rice cereal, spices (dill weed, basil, ground cloves, or nutmeg), or bits of Styrofoam.
Put the piece of paper on the table. Place the supports on the paper beneath the four corners of the plastic, and scatter the tiny bits of Styrofoam, spices, ceiling glitter, or rice under the plastic. (You can set this assembly up on any tabletop.)
Charge the plastic by rubbing it vigorously with the piece of wool cloth or fur.
Watch the "fleas" dance! Try different types of material for charging the plastic, including your hand, and experiment with other materials for fleas. Also, try the plastic at different heights.
Both the plastic and the fleas start out electrically neutral. That is, they have an equal number of positive and negative charges. When you rub the plastic with the wool cloth, the cloth transfers negative charges to the plastic.
These negative charges polarize the fleas, attracting the positive charges to the tops of the fleas and pushing the negative charges to the bottoms of the fleas. The attraction between the negative plastic and the positive charge concentrated on the top of the fleas makes the fleas jump up to the underside of the plastic.
When a flea actually touches the plastic, some of the plastic's negative charge flows to the flea. The top of the flea becomes electrically neutral. But since the whole flea was originally neutral, the flea now has some excess negative charge. The negatively charged flea and the negatively charged plastic repel each other strongly, which causes the flea to jump quickly back to the table. As the flea's excess negative charge slowly drains away to the tabletop, or to the air, the flea again becomes neutral and is ready to jump up to the plastic once more.
While the fleas are dancing, put your ear on the plastic plate. Listen to the tapping of the fleas as they hit the plastic. The tapping rate slowly decreases as the charge on the plastic is depleted. The dance of the fleas sounds like the clicking of a Geiger counter measuring a radioactive source that is decaying.

in Problem solving
I decided to stop putting things in my main compost bin so that it can all turn to soil for pots and replacing some patches of old soil. In the mean time, I've been putting waste into an old plastic box in the garden with a lid. I put a bit of soil at the bottom and started filling it a few weeks ago.
I just opened the lid to throw more stuff in, and suddenly there's a porpus mound of soil in the middle of the box, about 6" across and nearly as high. Ants are swarming all over it, so I assume they've decided to build a colony in my box.
Is there any potential problem with this? If I keep throwing stuff into the box, it'll destroy the colony, and I'm happy to leave them alone if they're good to have around a garden. Will they go away at the end of the year or something?
if you tip it on the ground the blackbirds will sort it out, and then you can just shovel it back in the box.
They like dry places for their nests so, once you've got them picked off, put it all back and keep the compost heap moist. It'll help break it down faster too.
Ants not generally good. Can completely undermine a planted area, so not welcome in my garden, plus they 'farm' aphids for the honeydew they excrete, so whilst not directly harmful to plants, can still be pest. They don't like water, so give them a good soaking and they'll go away.
Nature usually restores the balance I think but ants have been prolific these past two or three years.

Next Sunday's review
This rather ominous photo is from Red Maple, the tapas lounge in Mount Vernon. Once I heard its executive chef, Jill Snyder, had been chosen as a contestant on Bravo's reality show Top Chef, I had to go try the food for myself.
I had reviewed Red Maple when it first opened, but she wasn't the head chef then, so I had never tried her cooking.
To find out what I thought you'll have to read my review in next week's Arts & Entertainment section or online, but I will say both this time and last I was impressed that the staff seemed genuinely glad we were there -- even though we aren't nearly cool enough for the surroundings. (Well, maybe I am, especially when I'm wearing the silver Corso Comos Gailor gave me for Mother's Day; but the rest of my companions aren't.)
And now off to the block party.

News Release
For release: Jan. 29, 2010
DEQ Fines Woodburn Composting Facility $24,259 for Not Having a Permit to Operate
Western Turf Foliage and Seed ordered to cease operations or apply for composting facility permit
The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality has fined Rudy H. Sonnen and Paulette Sonnen – as well as A-Western Landscape Supply LLC, doing business as Western Turf Foliage and Seed – $24,259 for establishing and operating a composting facility in Woodburn without a permit.
Western Turf Foliage and Seed, at 17018 Highway 99E, has been operating since at least May 2009 as a commercial composting facility, processing more than 20 tons of green or non-green feedstock per calendar year. The facility does not have a permit or registration allowing it to establish, operate or maintain and the composting facility. Rudy and Paulette Sonnen own the property.
DEQ issued the penalty because Oregon regulates composting facilities as solid waste disposal sites under state law. These sites must have permits if they exceed a certain size. If managed improperly, composting piles may pose a fire hazard, may generate noxious odors and potentially harmful stormwater runoff and leachate, and may harbor insects, rodents and other disease-carrying pests. At the time of this violation, Oregon law required all facilities using more than 20 tons of feedstock in a calendar year to obtain a composting facility permit from DEQ. In late May 2009, DEQ documented that the facility had managed at least 299 tons of composting feedstock. Despite repeated warnings to remove all composting material off the site, on June 17, 2009, during another DEQ inspection of the site, there were approximately 374 tons of composting materials managed there.
In addition to the $24,259 penalty, DEQ has ordered the facility to cease all composting and solid waste management operations and remove all accumulated composting materials from the site. The company may also submit a registration/permit application and certain required screening materials to DEQ, along with supplying a valid statement of Land Use Compatibility from Marion County. If the company cannot obtain the necessary land-use approvals, it must cease all operations and remove all accumulated composting materials by March 15, 2010.
The Sonnens and A-Western Landscape Supply LLC have appealed the penalty. The facility has yet to cease operations or apply for a composting facilities permit, according to DEQ.

Fortepan Iowa Launches
Inspired by the Hungarian Fortepan project, the University of Northern Iowa has announced the establishment of a new public digital photo archive featuring curated photos made by ordinary Iowans over the 20th century. Taking its name from a panchromatic black-and-white film stock manufactured in Hungary right up to the closure of the Forte plant in 2007, the original Fortepan archive started out as a private project of collectors Ákos Szepessy and Miklós Tamási, borne out of a desire to demonstrate that photos - even "artistically worthless" snapshots - taken by ordinary people can help us better understand the history of the 20th century. Thanks to donations, the collection has grown to include over forty thousand digitised black-and-white and colour photographs, from a pseudo-bucolic idyll dating back to 1900 to a 1990 photograph of a still-standing section of the Berlin wall. Based on this project, the new Fortepan Iowa archive will display thousands of photographs along a sliding interactive timeline and invite visitors to horizontally scroll through highly curated, well-documented photographs digitised at "tremendously high resolution," the university says. The open-source platform will inspire visitors to engage digitally with the high-quality images — a rare opportunity in a heavily copyrighted age. Fortepan Iowa will launch in March 2015 with at least 2,000 photos in the archive.

2007 AL West Preview
The American League West looks to be extremely tight this season. It could easily be a three-team race to the finish. Will the World Series champs come from this division? Chances of that happening are slim due to the fact that both the AL East and Central feature top teams that are deeper and more talented. Still, there are some fine clubs in the AL West.
The Los Angeles Angels under Mike Scioscia have been fairly successful; despite having one of the best pitching staffs in the league, the Angels may not have quite enough to take the division. The major problem concerns the team's lineup. Vladimir Guerrero and Juan Rivera are fine hitters. But minor improvements at the plate in the off-season,—Shea Hillenbrand and Gary Mathews—will help but aren't enough to take this club beyond the division.
The Oakland A's lost the offense of Frank Thomas and the fine arm of Barry Zito. Coach Bob Geren replaces Ken Macha and is pegged to fit in with GM Billy Beane's theories regarding a player's value. Beane has been able to build a team that's competitive for the division title but not as a championship contender.
The Texas Rangers' new manager Ron Washington is expected to be a positive force. He replaces Buck Showalter. The Rangers offer some solid starters but are thin at the bottom. Shortstop Michael Young has become one of the best young players in the league. Along with having a good lineup, the Rangers defense is extremely effective.
Ichiro, Seattle's great right fielder, has not been able
make this team a winner. Starting pitching and lack of run
production are both major concerns for this club. Manager Mike
Hargrove, in his third year, is expected to finally make a difference.
If he doesn't he'll be out.
American League West Predictions
Projected Order of Finish:

I don't think investors are going to trust them any more. I found this at medicalnewstoday.com:
Notice is hereby given that a class action lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Utah, Central Division on behalf of all securities purchasers of Nature's Sunshine Products, Inc. (OTC: NATR) ("Nature's Sunshine" or the "Company") from October 19, 2004 through March 24, 2006...
The Complaint charges Nature's Sunshine and certain of its officers and directors with violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. More specifically, the Complaint alleges that Nature's Sunshine failed to disclose and misrepresented the following material adverse facts which were known to defendants or recklessly disregarded by them: (1) that the Company incorrectly recorded foreign transactions in its financial statements; (2) that as a result of this, Nature's Sunshine materially overstated the Company's revenue and net income throughout the Class Period; (3) that the Company's financial statements were in violation of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"); (4) that the Company lacked adequate internal controls; and (5) that as a consequence of the foregoing, the Company's financial results were materially overstated at all relevant times.
If I can't be sure that their accounting is correct, it would be dumb to invest in their stock.

text: Some come to Both Ways Cafe for the cinnamon rolls. Some come for that scuffed-wood, post-hippie vibe. I go for the biscuits. As anyone from the South or Midwest will tell you, biscuit making is a simple art to master, which is why it's so shocking that no one on the West Coast can make a proper one. Except Dick Wall, owner and head baker of Both Ways Cafe, at the eastern end of Genesee. Wall knows a biscuit shouldn't be big and puffy, nor dense and oily. Flaky—that texture you get when you add too much Crisco—isn't the right word, either. The crusty surface of his biscuit is pebbled and dusty gold. A little steam sighs from the center when you crack it open, and the insides are like moist cotton batting. Of course, Both Ways' biscuit takes to butter and jam like pasta to Parmigiano-Reggiano. But it doesn't need it.—Jonathan Kauffman 4922 S. Genesee St., 722-5799.

Hang Onto Your Cell Phone!
The Federal Communications Commission requires that any cellular phone, regardless of whether it has a number or active service plan, be allowed to dial 911 for free. You wont be able to receive calls on an emergency-only phone, but you will be able to call for help when you (or anyone else) need it. You may want to give your old phone to a family member or friend to help them in an emergency.
If you dont have an old phone at hand, look for a cellular retailer that offers emergency only phones.
Child Seat Safety Solution
The U.S. government has implemented regulations for installing a child seat in a vehicle. The system is called LATCH, which stands for Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren; it makes it easier to properly install a child seat. Subaru has been incorporating these standards over the past three model years.If you have a 2001 or newer Subaru, your Owners Manual provides installation instructions for the system.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is developing LATCH educational materials. The Automotive Coalition for Traffic Safety (ACTS) has volunteered to post a list of LATCH-equipped child seats on their Web site (www.actsinc.org).
LATCH retrofit kits are available; they allow owners of LATCH-equipped vehicles to equip certain older-model child restraints with LATCH attachments. These kits can be obtained from ToysRUs and other retailers for about $25.

Lets hope it will run back to $6 soon...
It will not be around for longer than 2012
Lttle chinese mix>
Why this stock is not presente in Google Finance
Too much uncertainty right now, still coming under heavy fire, significant price drop on Makena will hurt margins going forward, stock still up quite a bit since FDA approval (even with recent plunge). Too risky for my blood.
No doubt ,KV has the exclusive rights to Makena which has FDA approval and Doctors will turn to Makena as their sole recomendation for women who have lost pre-term babies, and are now pregnant...
its just matter of time
Alright, I''ve rode this up and then red thumbed it and rode it down. It's priced to be a good choice for the long run again.
I strongly believe that KV is taking right steps toward the pricing. Makena is a very important drug and will be having a huge user base in coming months. Makena deserves a primium pricing over compound pharmacies drug, and I guess no body has a doubt against it considering the safety and underneath cose involved plus a responsible company behind it. To me, it seems like some of the articles/disucssion is unnecessary and very negatively approached.
I am long on KV.
Rode it up on the FDA approval, getting back in after the lower-than-hoped-for price news. I think it will still move up.
Makena has amazing potential- On the basis of the New England Jounal of Medicine Article 2003 the drug truly does benefit in preterm labor. Demand is going to be hard to fill. OBs use this drug on a regular basis compounded from pharmacies. It is going to make it a lot easier to dispense to patients. In the end we will help prevent much of the sequela from preterm labor if taken in time. It is truly a breakthrough...
New drug with hot chart a little competition
These guys have a blockbuster on their hands (Makena)....why? ppl have to realize two things: Makena is a huge profit margin drug ($1500 per injection) and it will be covered by all healthcare plans (see below).
While the number of premature births (and thus the market for Makena) may not be as large as for typical blockbuster drugs, the cost to the healthcare system from premature births is disproportionately high. This is what allows Makena to get away with such high margins since $1500 per injection to prevent a premature birth is still way cheaper than the costs of long-term care for premature babies in hospitals. This is money in the bank for K V.
just in the United States, about 12.8 percent of babies (more than half a million a year) are born prematurely
Kv-A has recently gotten their new drug Makena approved by the FDA which means they now have a "monopoly" on the first drug capable of reducing the risk of premature birth. Premature birth cost the US alone over 26 billion dollars each year... The road to recovery for Kv pharmaceutical looks much brighter and possibly holds an even greater financial future for Kv-a in the coming years.
New Management, New Drug Approval, FDA approval of production processes
2/14/2011 Happy kV-a day!
I bought in March of 2010, thinking that the stock can't get any lower. I was wrong, but was in it for the long haul. I've already made a profit, and when Gestiva gets FDA approval, this stock will really take off. I'll sell on the ridiculous jump it gets and make a tidy profit before it falls to realistic levels.
support price is $2.46

Here's an update to a story we first told you about in January.
Atwood Mobile Products had been considering moving out of the Rockford area and apparently the company has decided to do just that. It will consolidate and relocate its two local plants by the end of the year.
According to the Rockford Register Star, Atwood will eliminate 406 jobs and end its 94-year relationship with the Rock River Valley.
Atwood's corporate headquarters will move to Elkhart, Indiana.
A newspaper there says 40 professional-level jobs will be moved from Rockford to Elkhart.

Colorado Court of Appeals -- January 17, 2013
2013 COA 2. No. 09CA2533. People v. Fleischacker.
Court of Appeals No. 09CA2533
Pueblo County District Court No. 05CR458
Honorable Victor I. Reyes, Judge
The People of the State of Colorado,
Turk Alan Fleischacker,
Division V
Opinion by JUDGE MILLER
Carparelli and Fox, JJ., concur
Announced January 17, 2013
John W. Suthers, Attorney General, Jillian J. Price, Assistant Attorney General, Denver, Colorado, for Plaintiff-Appellee
Douglas K. Wilson, Colorado State Public Defender, Andrew C. Heher, Deputy State Public Defender, Denver, Colorado, for Defendant-Appellant
¶1 Defendant, Turk Alan Fleischacker, appeals the judgment of conviction entered against him after a jury found him guilty of sexual assault on a child – position of trust, sexual assault on a child – pattern of abuse, and sexual assault on a child.
¶2 Defendant contends that (1) the trial court improperly denied his challenges for cause regarding two jurors and (2) the jury violated his right to be free from double jeopardy by issuing two convictions on identical elements and factual bases. We affirm and as a matter of first impression hold that section 16-10-103(1)(b), C.R.S. 2012, does not require the disqualification of a prospective juror related within the third degree to a paralegal working in a district attorney's office.
I. Background
¶3 When she was ten years old, the victim told her mother that defendant, her stepfather, had been touching her inappropriately. Her mother questioned her about the details. After the victim told her mother that defendant had pinched her breasts and "had her sitting on his lap and was moving her around," the mother went to confront defendant while he was at work. When she asked him whether the accusations were true, he responded, "Yeah, but it doesn't really matter, I'm not her dad." The mother then reported the accusations to the police.
¶4 At trial, the victim testified that
• after her ninth birthday defendant began touching her breasts "above and under" her clothes;
• he had touched around her vaginal area above her clothes with his hands "a lot";
• the touching of her vaginal area happened in different instances separated by time and also separate from the touching of her breasts;
• sometimes defendant put her on his lap and moved her around until she "felt something hard";
• this happened more than once, separated by time, but "not as much as everything else";
• the last time any inappropriate touching happened was about a month before she reported the behavior to her mother and the police; and
• in the month prior to that report, defendant had touched her buttocks with his hand over her clothes "quite a few times" in separate episodes.
¶5 A jury convicted defendant of the three counts of sexual assault on a child described above.
II. Challenges for Cause
¶6 Defendant contends that the trial court erred in denying his challenges for cause against Jurors G. and J. We disagree.
A. Standard of Review
¶7 We review a trial court's denial of a challenge for cause for an abuse of discretion. Carrillo v. People, 974 P.2d 478, 485 (Colo. 1999); People v. Hancock, 220 P.3d 1015, 1016 (Colo. App. 2009). The trial court has broad discretion over challenges for cause because it is in the best position to assess a potential juror's demeanor, credibility, and sincerity. Dunlap v. People, 173 P.3d 1054, 1082 (Colo. 2007); People v. Shover, 217 P.3d 901, 907 (Colo. App. 2009) (an appellate court accords "great deference" to a trial court's handling of challenges for cause, "recognizing its unique role and perspective in evaluating the prospective juror's credibility, demeanor, and sincerity"). "A court abuses its discretion when it renders a decision that is manifestly arbitrary, unreasonable, or unfair." People v. Luman, 994 P.2d 432, 435 (Colo. App. 1999). Where a trial court errs in denying a challenge for cause and the defendant exhausts his or her peremptory challenges, reversal is required without any further demonstration of prejudice. Morrison v. People, 19 P.3d 668, 671 (Colo. 2000); People v. Hancock, 220 P.3d 1015, 1016 (Colo. App. 2009).
B. Juror G.
1. Basis of Challenge
¶8 During voir dire, Juror G. asked to speak with the court and the attorneys in private. In chambers, Juror G. told the court that he had previously worked in law enforcement for four and one-half years, his daughter was an employee at the district attorney's office, his son worked for the Denver sheriff's office, and his son-in-law was a parole officer. He also stated that the prosecuting attorney had attended his daughter's wedding the previous month. Upon questioning, Juror G. added that his daughter was a certified paralegal and had worked for two and one-half years as "a legal assistant and paralegal" for the same district attorney's office prosecuting defendant's case. He said that he sometimes talked to his daughter about her work and would occasionally go to her office to "swap[] keys and things along those lines."
¶9 After disclosing this information, Juror G. said, "I don't know that I would be the best for your case." In response to questions, however, Juror G. expressly said he "could be fair to both sides." He also told the court that he could listen to the evidence and decide whether the prosecutor had proved the charges beyond a reasonable doubt.
¶10 Defendant challenged Juror G. for cause on the basis of his relationship with the prosecution and law enforcement, explicitly referring to his daughter's employment with the district attorney's office. The trial court denied the challenge. The court said that it "had an opportunity to observe him and observe his answers" and that his visits to the district attorney's office were "limited to doing personal things with his daughter instead of interacting with office personnel."
¶11 Defendant used a peremptory challenge to remove Juror G. and exhausted all of his peremptory challenges.\
2. Analysis
a. Implied Bias
¶12 Defendant first contends that the trial court erred when it did not find implied bias on the part of Juror G., as a matter of law, under section 16-10-103(1)(b). We disagree.
¶13 In determining the meaning of a statute, our central task is to ascertain and give effect to the intent of the General Assembly. Robbins v. People, 107 P.3d 384, 387 (Colo. 2005). We begin by looking to the express language of the statute, construing words and phrases according to their plain and ordinary meaning. Id.; see § 2-4-101, C.R.S. 2012. If, after review of the statute's language, we conclude that the statute is unambiguous and the intent appears with reasonable certainty, our analysis is complete. People v. Darlington, 105 P.3d 230, 234 (Colo. 2005).
¶14 Section 16-10-103(1)(b) provides that a trial court shall sustain a challenge for cause when a juror has a "[r]elationship within the third degree, by blood, adoption, or marriage, to a defendant or to any attorney of record or attorney engaged in the trial of the case." The supreme court held in People v. Macrander, 828 P.2d 234, 241 (Colo. 1992), that when an elected district attorney is the attorney of record, a challenge for cause should be sustained under section 16-10-103(1)(b) based on a juror's relationship not only to the district attorney, but also to the assistant district attorney, the chief deputy district attorney, and all deputy district attorneys in that office.
¶15 Juror G. was related within the third degree to his daughter, a paralegal in the district attorney's office. Defendant argues Macrander's holding includes paralegals employed by the district attorney's office under the definition of "attorney of record." On its face, however, Macrander does not apply to paralegals, and we decline to expand its holding beyond deputy district attorneys employed by an elected district attorney. We do so for several reasons:
• The plain language of section 16-1-103(1)(b) does not extend to paralegals.
• The supreme court limited its holding in Macrander to the assistant, the chief deputy, and all deputy district attorneys. 828 P.2d at 240, 242.
• The supreme court cited numerous rules and other authorities making clear that an attorney of record is an attorney. Id. at 240-41. None of these authorities refers to paralegals.
• The supreme court emphasized that deputy district attorneys "have 'all the powers of the district attorney.'" Id. at 240 (quoting § 20-1-202, C.R.S. 2012). No similar statute grants such powers to paralegals.
• The supreme court relied on several of its prior decisions recognizing the agency relationship existing between the district attorney and deputy district attorneys. Id. at 241. None of these authorities refers to a similar agency relationship existing between the district attorney and paralegals.
• The supreme court explained the unique relationship under the statute between a district attorney and his or her assistant, chief deputy, and deputy district attorneys:
The design of [the] statutory scheme is to reciprocally vest prosecutorial authority in the elected district attorney and all members of the district attorney's staff — the assistant, chief deputy, and deputy district attorneys — so that an act performed by the district attorney is an act undertaken on behalf of all members of the district attorney's prosecuting staff in the same manner and to the same extent as an act performed by an assistant, chief deputy, or deputy district attorney is an act undertaken on behalf of the elected district attorney.
Id. at 240. Obviously, that relationship does not exist between paralegals and the district attorney or deputy district attorneys.
• None of the other disqualifying conditions set forth in section 16-10-103(1), C.R.S. 2012, extends to prospective jurors having a relationship within the third degree to a person who would be directly disqualified. Thus, for example, the statute does not automatically disqualify a parent, child, or spouse of a victim, a testifying police officer, or another witness from serving as a juror. Given that the statute is so narrowly drawn, we decline to expand the reach of Macrander to persons who may be related within the third degree to a paralegal employed in the district attorney's office.
¶16 In concluding that section 16-10-103(1)(b) does not reach paralegals, we stress that such prospective jurors may be subject, based on the circumstances of a particular case, to removal for cause for actual bias under section 16-10-103(1)(j), C.R.S. 2012.
¶17 We therefore conclude that, because Juror G.'s daughter was a paralegal, and not an attorney, the trial court did not err in denying defendant's challenge for cause under section 16-10-103(1)(b).
b. Actual Bias
¶18 Defendant further contends that the trial court erred in finding that Juror G. was not actually biased because of his numerous connections to law enforcement. We disagree.
¶19 In People v. Reddick, 44 Colo. App. 278, 280, 610 P.2d 1359, 1361 (1980), a division of this court held that a trial court abused its discretion where a "combination of factors reflecting [the juror's] close association with the law enforcement establishment required [the juror's] dismissal for cause." A juror who has associations with law enforcement, however, is not automatically disqualified. People v. Roldan, ___ P.3d ___, ___, 2011 WL 174248, at *1-4 (Colo. App. No. 2487, Jan. 20, 2011) (cert. granted Feb. 13, 2012).1A court must also consider a juror's statements during voir dire to determine if he or she is impartial, despite his or her associations with law enforcement. See id. at ___, 2011 WL 174248, at *2. In Roldan, the division held that a trial court abused its discretion when the juror demonstrated "a 'clear expression of bias' in favor of law enforcement witnesses and [an inability] to render an impartial verdict." Id. at ___, 2011 WL 174248, at *3 (quoting People v. Prator, 833 P.2d 819, 820-21 (Colo. App. 1992), aff'd, 856 P.2d 837 (Colo. 1993)). The division stressed that the juror "failed to expressly state that her relationships with law enforcement would not interfere with her ability to hold the prosecution to its burden, or that she would be fair and impartial with both parties," but "expressly stated that she thought she would 'end up' being biased." Id. at ___, 2011 WL 174248, at *3-4.
¶20 Here, Juror G. demonstrated neither a clear expression of bias nor an inability to render an impartial verdict. Although he had relationships with a number of people associated with law enforcement, Juror G. consistently stated that those relationships would not impact his ability to render a fair verdict. There was no indication that his daughter worked on defendant's case or that she ever spoke to Juror G. about the case. Further, Juror G. expressly stated that he could hold the prosecution to its burden of proof and that he would be impartial to both sides. Considering Juror G.'s unequivocal statements during voir dire, we conclude the trial court did not abuse its discretion when it denied defendant's challenge for cause.
C. Juror J.
¶21 Juror J.'s daughter was sexually assaulted by his brother-in-law when she was fourteen or fifteen years old. The assault occurred ten years before defendant's trial.
¶22 Juror J. was questioned in chambers about this subject. He responded, "Yes," to the court's question whether he had "any concerns about this kind of case." The court then asked whether Juror J. had any concerns about serving as a juror on the case: Juror J. responded, "I'm not sure, probably not." He stated that he was willing to listen to the court's instructions about the law, apply a presumption of innocence, and hold the prosecution to its burden of proof. When asked if he could be a fair and impartial juror in this case, Juror J. said, "I think I could." In response to defense counsel's questions, Juror J. said that his daughter still suffered effects from her assault and that he would be sympathetic to an alleged victim of a similar assault. However, he also said that he did not think those feelings would affect his ability to be fair to defendant in this case. Upon further questioning, he said, "I think I could be fair." He said that he did not have any doubts about his ability to be fair "consciously, [though] maybe subconsciously something is going on, but [he did not] really feel like it." Juror J. also said that he did not believe he would have difficulties once he started to hear the evidence in the case, but if he did, he would inform the court. He also responded, "No," when defense counsel asked him if he had "any kind of serious doubt that [he would] not be able to be a fair juror."
¶23 After this in-chambers questioning, defendant asked the court to excuse Juror J. for cause because of his daughter's experience and his lack of definitive answers. The court denied the challenge, saying, "I have been able to watch his demeanor, and there wasn't anything in his demeanor that would give rise [sic] to the Defendant in this matter."
¶24 Upon further questioning in open court, Juror J. stated that the prosecution would have to prove any accusation. He also responded in the affirmative when the court asked if he could be fair in this case.
¶25 In addition to timely challenging Juror J. for cause, defendant used a peremptory challenge to remove him, and exhausted all of his peremptory challenges.
¶26 Defendant also argues that the trial court erred when it denied his challenge for cause with respect to Juror J. because of "inconsistencies and thus ambivalence about the effect on him stemming from the sexual assault of his 14-15 year-old daughter." We disagree.
¶27 During voir dire, jurors often express concern or indicate preconceived beliefs. Prator, 833 P.2d at 820. Such concerns and beliefs do not automatically disqualify a juror from service. People v. Blessett, 155 P.3d 388, 393 (Colo. App. 2006); Prator, 833 P.2d at 820. Despite initially expressing concerns, a potential juror can be rehabilitated by the trial court or the prosecutor. See People v. Valdez, 183 P.3d 720, 725 (Colo. App. 2008). The court may then exercise its discretion to deny the challenge for cause if it is "satisfied that the juror will render an impartial verdict based solely upon the evidence and instructions of the court." Id. It is not necessary that a prospective juror state with absolute certainty that he or she will set aside all potential bias. A juror's commitment to try to put his or her biases aside and expression of a belief that he or she can be fair are deemed sufficient to deny a defendant's challenge for cause. See id. (statements by a prospective juror that he would "try to do what the court instructed" and that he would "feel obligated to follow the jury instructions" were sufficient to support the trial court's conclusion that the prospective juror would set aside any preconceived notions and decide the case on the evidence and the court's instructions); People v. Woellhaf, 87 P.3d 142, 151 (Colo. App. 2003) (denial of challenge for cause upheld where prospective juror, who had worked with child sexual assault victims, initially expressed some doubt as to defendant's innocence, but subsequently said she would try to put her biases aside, would want to listen to the evidence, and thought that she could be fair), rev'd on other grounds, 105 P.3d 209 (Colo. 2005).
¶28 Here, we cannot say that the trial court's denial of defendant's challenge for cause to Juror J. was "arbitrary, unreasonable, or unfair." See Luman, 994 P.2d at 435. Juror J. initially said he had concerns about "this kind of case" and would be sympathetic toward a victim of sexual assault. However, he also repeatedly stated that he thought he could be fair in this particular case and had no "serious doubt" he could be a fair juror. Juror J. gave further assurances that he could listen to the court's instructions and hold the prosecution to its burden of proof. Under these circumstances, we conclude the trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying defendant's challenge for cause to Juror J.
III. Double Jeopardy
¶29 Defendant also argues his convictions for Counts Two and Three violated his right to be free from double jeopardy because they were predicated on the same factual basis. We disagree.
A. Background
¶30 The verdict forms for Counts Two and Three were identically captioned, "Sexual Assault on a Child (Touching of the Buttocks)." Because Count Two was for a pattern of abuse, it also included a special interrogatory with three questions about the jury's findings with respect to other acts of sexual contact. During closing arguments, the prosecutor told the jury the predicate act for Count Two was defendant touching the victim's buttocks with his hand, and Count Three was for touching the victim's buttocks with defendant's lap.
¶31 In the course of deliberations, the jury submitted a question about the verdict forms asking if Count Three referred to "'the moving around on [the] lap' or . . . touching [defendant's] erection or both." The court acknowledged to counsel that the verdict form's caption for Count Three should have read "the lap" instead of "Touching the Buttocks." When the court said it would refer the jury to the instruction defining sexual contact, defense counsel said he "would prefer that the Court would . . . refer them back to the instruction and nothing else." The court's response to the jury was so limited.
¶32 Defendant now argues that the confusion over the verdict forms for Counts Two and Three resulted in the jury convicting him twice for the same offense. We are not persuaded.
B. Standard of Review
¶33 "The Double Jeopardy Clauses of the United States and Colorado Constitutions protect an accused from being tried or punished multiple times for the same offense." People v. Greer, 262 P.3d 920, 924 (Colo. App. 2011); see U.S. Const. amend. V; Colo. Const. art. II, § 18. We review unpreserved double jeopardy claims for plain error. People v. Tillery, 231 P.3d 36, 47 (Colo. App. 2009), aff'd sub nom. People v. Simon, 266 P.3d 1099 (Colo. 2011). A plain error is one which is obvious and "so undermined the fundamental fairness of the trial itself . . . as to cast serious doubt on the reliability of the judgment." Greer, 262 P.3d at 924 (quoting People v. Miller, 113 P.3d 743, 749-50 (Colo. 2005)).
C. Analysis
¶34 The unit of prosecution for sexual assault on a child is "any sexual contact." Greer, 262 P.3d at 924. Incidents of sexual assault are factually distinct if they "occurred at different times, were separated by intervening events," or "were temporally distinct." Id.
¶35 Here, the evidence demonstrated that defendant was not convicted twice for the same offense because there were factually distinct incidents of sexual assault. During the victim's testimony, she repeatedly stated that the incidents of sexual contact with defendant — specifically the touching of her buttocks with defendant's hand and touching of her buttocks with his lap — were separated by time.
¶36 The possible confusion in the titles of the verdict forms is not enough to demonstrate a double jeopardy violation. The prosecutor explained during closing arguments that the predicate act for Count Two was defendant touching the victim's buttocks with his hand and for Count Three was defendant touching the victim's buttocks on defendant's lap. The special interrogatory included with Count Two further supports the conclusion that the convictions were based on factually distinct incidents of sexual assault. The final question on the interrogatory asked,
Does the jury find, beyond a reasonable doubt, that the Defendant committed the offense of Sexual Assault on a Child by touching the alleged victim's buttocks while on his lap, as alleged in Count Three and did this act or acts of sexual contact take place within ten years prior to or at any time after the offense charged in Count No. 2?
(Emphasis added.) The question clearly shows that Counts Two and Three charged separate offenses involving separate conduct occurring at separate times.
¶37 Considering that there was sufficient evidence to support convictions for separate offenses under Counts Two and Three, we conclude that the clerical error on the verdict forms did not undermine the fundamental fairness of the trial. Accordingly, the convictions for those counts did not violate defendant's right to be free from double jeopardy.
¶38 The judgment is affirmed.
JUDGE CARPARELLI and JUDGE FOX concur.

i got an eviction notice yesterday for non-payment of rent!!!!! and of course i can't find the stub, but i know what day and where i purchased the money order. so i am just waiting for the property manager to call me back! has anyone had to track down a money order before????
Landlord lost my money order
In the 60's people took ACID to make the world wierd, now the world is weird and people take PROZAC to make it normal!
Did you get the MO at the post office or bank? They usually keep a copy of the stub for their records - not sure how long they keep them. Try and find the stub. The issuing institution will be able to tell if it was "cashed" and when.
I found this on the USPS website:
A purchaser, payee, or endorsee may, at any time, inquire about payment of a domestic money order by completing, signing, and filing Form 6401 and paying the appropriate fee; a separate form and fee are required for each money order. The fee is not required if Form 6401 is filed by a bank, other financial institution, government agency that processes money orders directly with the Federal Reserve Bank, or postal official engaged in official USPS business.

You never know how STRONG you are until being STRONG is the only choice you have.
I have never had to do this but that is horrible. I just recently started renting an apartment and I have only made one payment so far. They said the check would be put through the day we brought it. Well, a week later the check still had not gone through...luckily it finally went through.
sorry im not much help. I have never even bought a money order before. But good luck.
What good would the stub do? He could say you never gave him the money order. Don't you have a receipt from the landlord?
I would keep looking for the stub.
There's not much You can do if You don't have the stub though.
Mommy to Emma Grace July 28th 2008
I have been the apt. manager and this happens. I believe you'll need the stub to track it down. It usually takes a LONG time, but your landlord should work with you IF you bring in proper documentation. We would also pay for the tracing fee if it was found and our fault.
Sweet little girl born 9/30/09
Did you pay it in person? If so, surely she remembers you paying it?!
Did you not get a receipt?
No, this time i didn't get a receipt because the office was closed for the long holiday weekend, and so i just dropped it in their mail slot. i just called Dari Mart, and they said come on down to look at the record sheet I signed with the tracking #. ugh, i hope this works! if not i am going to whoop some ass down at st vincent de paul (where i rent from) and then waste $410 dollars to pay AGAIN!!!!
In the 60's people took ACID to make the world wierd, now the world is weird and people take PROZAC to make it normal!
OK, you have options even though they may take a while and you may have to jump through some hoops. Go to where you bought it and ask them if they can find it for you. They can also usually determine if it has been cashed though that may take a while. Some places may charge you a research fee and it could take a few weeks. Your landlord may believe you if you show them the forms you are filling out with the location, kwim? Some places may require that you fill out a form confirming that you are the one who purchased it and perhaps it will have to be notarized - different places, banks and states are different. Bottom line is some places make it easy and others don't but it can usually be done.
Go to the website of where you got it if was like Western Union or Moneygram or something like that and I'm sure they have the steps you need to take there. Banks, I'm sure have a procedure as well as I'm sure this happens a lot.
Good luck!!
