Article Date: 9/1/2010
Online spectacle sales has quickly become a hot topic among independent optometrists. While many express concerns over patient satisfaction and a potential loss of practice revenue from online sales, all O.D.s should carefully weigh their options in this competitive new environment.
Here's a look at how several of the major dispensing sites operate, their impact on independent practices and the ways in which you can compete with them.
An internet search using keywords such as "glasses" or "eyeglasses" will yield a number of websites, such as FramesDirect.com and ZenniOptical.com, which sell spectacles. Once on a site, the customer chooses a frame from an online selection. Although the experience doesn't compare to trying on frames from a bricks-and-mortar optical dispensary, several sites offer a "try on" option in which the consumer uploads a photo of himself and then tries on the frames virtually. After the frame selection, the customer picks his lenses and lens options (some sites highlight the best lens option based on the customer's information). The customer typically enters his pupillary distance (PD), sphere, cylinder, axis and add for each eye via drop-down menus. (Although all advise customers get PD measurements from their eye doctors, some provide instructions on how one can measure their PD with a ruler.) Some sites have optional Mono L and Mono R drop-down menus. Many, but not all, require a copy of the customer's prescription and/or doctor's name and phone number for prescription verification.
The specific features of these sites:
► Pricing and promotions. Some might assume "online" always means "low price." Yet these sites provide varying selections of frames in a range of price points, from unbranded value styles to designer brands. For example, FramesDirect.com sells Vogue and Anne Klein frames starting at less than $100, to high-end Prada and Dolce & Gabbana frames at roughly $350. ZenniOptical.com offers non-branded frames priced as low as $8 up to roughly $45.
At PopularGlasses.com, customers can choose from a large variety of designer frames in categories that range from "Under $100" to "$400 and more." GlassesUSA.com sells a limited variety of designer frames and categorizes most of its frames, which it sells for "up to 70% off retail prices," by frame style (such as rimless, semi-rimless, etc.). For example, its semi-rimless styles range from $34.95 to $145, including single vision lenses.
Some of the spectacle sales sites run promotions while others take a simple "everyday low price" stance. For instance, FramesDirect.com recently ran a promotion of $20 off eyeglasses that cost more than $119, while ZenniOptical.com calls itself the "global price and volume leader." PopularGlasses.com's home page recently highlighted "Save up to 40% on all Versace frames."
► Lens options. A basic singlevision lens is often included in the price for eyeglasses. Other lenses, including 1.59, 1.61, 1.67, and 1.74, range fairly widely in price. For example, GlassesUSA.com charges $130 for 1.74, while high-index 1.74 starts at $275 on FramesDirect.com. Lens extras, such as anti-scratch and anti-reflective coatings cost from $4.95 to more than $100 for premium photochromic lenses.
► Guarantees. FramesDirect.com guarantees "100% accuracy on all prescriptions, or they will be remade at no charge," and Zenni Optical states, "We guarantee to make a correct pair of prescription glasses according to the prescription values as ordered by the customer." Popular- Glasses.com is less specific and doesn't mention prescription accuracy, stating that it will "guarantee that all of the items that you will find at PopularGlasses.com are authentic, brand new and free of defects." GlassesUSA.com offers a one-time exchange for eyewear that has defects in the frame or lenses.
► Returns. Most of the spectacle sales sites accept returns and offer refunds. Many charge a 20% restocking fee for returns and require the customer obtain a "return merchandise authorization" before submitting a return. Also, most accept returns within 30 days of either the shipping date or the order receival date. In addition, most of these sites require the customer to pay for return shipping.
One of the newest online spectacle sales sites to enter this arena, Tryglassesforfree.com, provides the option of a free home trial program. Specifically, the consumer can choose up to four frames, and the company delivers the home trial kit (which includes the frames with plano lenses, a Tryglassesforfree.com brochure [which explains lens options and pricing], a black marker and an order form) free of charge, within three to five business days. Upon delivery of the kit, the consumer has seven days to decide whether he wants to keep one or more of the frames. The kit includes postagepaid return shipping.
Although the trial program is free, the site does require credit card information should the consumer decide to keep one or all the frames past the seven-day trial period. If, however, the consumer wants to purchase their complete eyewear from Tryglassesforfree.com, he has three options: (1) He can ship the frames back with the order form that includes his prescription (sphere, cylinder, axis, add, PD); (2) order online, and mail the trial frames back; or (3) call a customer service representative and make a purchase live and mail the frames back.
If the patient is unable to provide his PD, Tryglassesforfree.com asks the consumer to have a friend or family member use kit's marker and follow the directions included in the brochure to obtain PD. Try glassesforfree.com says it delivers complete eyewear in "about seven business days."
In terms of pricing and promotions, Tryglassesforfree.com provides frames that range from $40 to $120, including single vision lenses. Designer frames include 2000 and Beyond, Donald Trump and Little League Baseball, among others. Lens options include optical plastic (single vision–free, lined bifocal-$25, trifocal-$ 65, no-line bifocal-$69), polycarbonate (single vision–$20, lined bifocal-$30, trifocal-$70, no-line bifocal-$70) and high index (single vision–$25, lined bifocal-$35, trifocal-$70, no-line bifocal $70). Lens enhancements range from free scratch-resistant treatment to photochromic lenses up to $90 for no-line bifocal lenses.
As far as guarantees are concerned, Tryglassesforfree.com provides a 30-day no risk 100% money-back guarantee for any reason, which begins when the consumer receives his complete eyewear. Further, the site pays for the shipping to return the glasses.
In case you're wondering, all optical chain stores post eyewear galleries on their websites for customers to peruse different frame styles, but most do not currently sell prescription eyewear through their websites. As we go to press, For Eyes.com is the exception; it sells a limited selection of prescription eyeglasses on its website.
ForEyes.com's e-commerce site works similarly to those of the large aforementioned eyewear e-tailers. After customers make their frame and lens selections and provide prescription information, the customer must have their prescription verified via e-mail, fax or by having ForEyes.com call their doctor.
Currently, online spectacle dispensing isn't having much of an impact on independent practice profits. The Vision Council's Internet Influence study revealed that only 3% of customers who recently purchased eyewear did so directly through a website. That said, all those interviewed for this article believe it's only a matter of time before online spectacle sales go the route of online contact lens sales.
"The first year or two [online contact lens sales] didn't have a huge impact, but now it has a pretty significant impact," says optometrist Scot Morris, of Conifer, Colo., who also writes OM's "Tech Time" column.
Optometrist Justin Bazan, of Park Slope, N.Y., adds, "Anytime people spend money elsewhere, it affects your profitability. It's important to minimize this loss."
Some O.D.s question whether they should provide the patient with his PD measurement. Optometrist Neil Gailmard, of Munster, Ind., who writes OM's "Management Tip of The Week" e-newsletter, acknowledges this is not an easy decision, but he favors giving it to the patient if requested.
"One could make the case that the PD is part of the eyeglass prescription, and I don't think anyone doubts that optometrists should release eyeglass prescriptions," he says. "If the patient perceives that a doctor is trying to block his access to his own complete and valid prescription, serious damage can be done to the practice reputation. I know some doctors don't even have the PD measurement in the patient record if glasses were not ordered at the practice, but in those cases, I would allow the patient to come in, and we would measure it at no charge. It should be noted that most autorefractors measure PD automatically, and that could be supplied."
Your colleagues offer the following suggestions for competing with those e-retailers who sell spectacles online.
1. Express concerns objectively. If you have concerns about a patient who shows an interest in buying spectacles from an online retailer, express those concerns objectively. For example, you might say you realize that websites are appealing, but you're concerned the patient may be disappointed in an online spectacle purchase because these sites don't offer an optical professional who can provide face-to-face guidance on lens design, the size and fit of the frame and the critical lens measurements, such as monocular pupillary distance, multifocal segment height and vertical optical center placement, says Dr. Gailmard.
"If you simply talk negatively about it [online spectacle retail], the experience of the patient in your office is minimized because they're thinking, 'Well, they're [the doctor is] just in it for the money vs. actually trying to help me,'" adds Dr. Morris. This could result in you losing that patient for good, he says.
"I think independent practices can compete very well because we do have a brick-and-mortar office with a real inventory — not virtual — and with trained optical professionals on duty," says Dr. Gailmard. In addition, he says he thinks many people believe quality is more important than price when it comes to eyewear. "I don't think we should compete on low price because of the quality differences we offer…" he says.
2. Make a courtesy repair to eyewear purchased online. The office traffic produced by those seeking repairs can lead to sales, says Dr. Morris. "…Good will and being helpful all build business," adds Dr. Bazan.
That said, Dr. Gailmard believes that if online spectacle sales begin to eclipse independent O.D. optical dispensary sales, O.D.s will have to charge for adjustments and repairs to glasses purchased from these sites.
3. Offer a range of frames that include value price points. "We have frames starting at $29 and going up to over $5,000," says Michael P. Lange, O.D., who operates two practices with nine locations in Florida. "Eyecare centers must offer a competitive package, including frame and lens combos, to keep that portion of their practice from eroding away and [patients] shopping elsewhere."
4. Provide great customer service. "If you have an optician or frame stylist ready to go above and beyond with each customer, the patient will see the value of purchasing with you," says Dr. Lange.
Dr. Bazan adds, "We cultivate people who place customer service and experience above price. People come here knowing we are going to give them something they cannot get online. They may be able to find the product cheaper online, but not without sacrificing the experience they would have with us."
And great customer service leads to word-of-mouth referrals: "Give them [patients] experiences that they just have to share with their friends," he says. "It's those referrals that perpetuate the cycle of success and help you keep those who only care about the bottom dollar online out of your office."
5. Offer promotions. Dr. Lange says he offers a free second pair from a select group of frames that patients can use as a back-up, or a computer prescription, readers, sports glasses, sunglass, etc. to retain sales.
6. Offer online spectacle dispensing through your practice. Offering this option not only enables you to compete with e-commerce sites that sell spectacles, it can also bridge the quality gap between spectacle sales sites and your brick-and-mortar practice, as your site leverages your knowledge of your patient's unique refractive needs. There are two models for developing an online dispensing presence:
► You can hire a web design firm that specializes in the optical industry to create your own ecommerce site, in which you set up or make changes to the order form through an administrative page that contains order blanks and dropdown menus for all necessary eyewear measurements, or parameters. Or, for a fee, you can have the firm perform the administrative tasks.
► You can obtain an e-commerce service partner to which you link from your own practice website, add your logo or images to the online storefront, select the brands to sell, and the partner is responsible for product manufacturing and fulfillment.
Penn Moody, O.D., of Indianapolis, decided to link with a partner to create MoodyEyesonline.com. "The whole concept of Moody Eyes online grew out of my experience of patients wanting their prescription to buy additional eyewear online," he explains. With a "soft" website launch in April, it's too early to tell how profitable Moody Eyes Online will be, he says, but he thinks it's an opportunity to participate in a growing area. "I firmly believe this will be a profit center in the coming years for practices that do it right," he says.
Dr. Moody limits online ordering to single vision lenses only. "We strongly believe there are so many variables in progressives that the customer is better served by purchasing those from their ECP," he says.
Dr. Morris adds, that quality control problems tend to be minimized with online O.D. sites because the O.D. ensures the proper procedures are in place.
The bottom line for any practice: "…We should watch this area closely and be ready to change our practice policies if we see a significant number of patients buying glasses online," says Dr. Gailmard. OM

Hurricane Sandy's images haunt Folsom coupleBy: Laura Newell, Of the Telegraph
James Early and his wife Ann went to visit family in New York during the storm of Hurricane Sandy and said the images and sadness they returned home with will stay with them forever.
Early said after walking the streets following the storm, the photos he took were only half the story. The smells of gasoline and diesel and sounds of people crying after losing everything, was more than a single photo could capture.
Early, 67, of Folsom, visited his daughter, granddaughter and great-granddaughter in Long Beach, Long Island, New York. He left on Oct. 25 and returned back to Folsom on Nov. 4, just days after the storm.
"We knew the storm was going to happen, but had the trip planned for long time, so we were going," Early said. "We stayed on the second floor in our daughter's house, so we stayed safe during the storm. But what we saw afterward was devastating."
Early walked through the streets of his daughter's neighborhood and along the path of where the boardwalk was to better understand all the damage done after the storm.
"Seeing all this was very heartbreaking for the people around us," Early said. "We were OK, but everyone around us in sight had water damage. Nothing was missed during the storm. Every business and home that I saw was flooded by at least 2 to 3 feet of water. It was absolutely tragic. There will be a huge, long recovery."
He said as a west coast resident, it was very humbling to come back to Folsom to a house with a roof over his head that was water free.
"I actually felt guilt leaving everyone behind," Early said. "I wanted to help everyone back east more than I could during my short visit."

Cole County zoning meetings kick off with small crowd
Wednesday, April 30, 2014
A small crowd came out Tuesday night for the first public meeting to discuss the proposal for zoning in Cole County.
The group at the St. Martin's Knights of Columbus Hall heard a synopsis of the plan. Dick Peerson, co-chair of the zoning oversight committee, said his group had been working on it for the last five years.
"By state law, all that the county legally has to do is the put the question of whether or not to have zoning to a vote of the people," he said. "They don't require a map or a plan, but we wanted to give voters as much information as possible. We're not here to keep people from doing things."
The County Commission has said the measure will be on the August ballot.
There are nine zoning districts in the plan with the agriculture category making up the majority of the county with the minimum lot area for that zoning being five acres. Other categories include residential commercial zoning, residential single family and residential multi-family as well as general commercial and large industrial categories.
Shannon Kliethermes, senior planner for the Cole County Public Works Department, said 19 counties in the state have zoning.
"Agriculture practices are not regulated by zoning," he said. "Zoning doesn't change your taxation status and zoning can be changed or amended.
"If it is adopted, then the plan and map would have to finalized and ratified by the county planning and zoning committee. It then goes to the county commission who would have to hold hearings in all the townships before taking a final vote to adopt the plan."
One member of the audience asked how zoning could help him pass his farm down to his children while keeping officials in Jefferson City from telling him what to do. He was concerned Jefferson City would be exempt from county zoning, but its residents still get to vote on the measure.
"I have a farm of my own and I'd hate to see a salvage yard come in next door," said Cole County Public Works Director Larry Benz. "Right now there's nothing to protect us from something like that. With zoning at least there's a chance for you to have input on what happens in your area."
Three more information meetings are scheduled:
• Thursday at the Russellville Elementary School cafeteria;
• May 6 at the Wardsville Lions Club; and
• June 9 at the Cole County Emergency Management classroom on Southridge Drive.
All meetings start at 7 p.m.
A copy of the zoning plan is available on the county's website, www.colecounty.org. It's on the public works page under the planning tab.

No one can go off on a tangent like Commissioner Javier Souto. By Geniusofdespair
Well, this issue prompted this insane response from County Commissioner Souto...the ramblin' man. You must watch if you never saw him in action before.
6 comments:
Thank you. When he started talking about "living in oblivion" the irony was just too much.
He even resurected Arthur Teele.
I couldn't watch the whole thing and can only hope Mimi Planas can pull off a miracle and defeat him. It's way beyond time for him to find something else to do.
- April 09, 2010
Nice pick up. WTF is Souto talking about. Voters are idiots. IDIOTS. Unreal unreal unreal unreal. There is no La-La Land that would be too far out for Javier Souto.
- April 09, 2010
From opting out of a phon book he moved it to book censorship. This guy's mind is dangerous and he should be removed from office.
- April 09, 2010
Good grief! The man is insane. He's all for the environment and trees but he never saw a grove he would not slaughter.
I guess the lobbyists did not coach him well but they got the result they wanted.
- April 09, 2010
How can anyone vote for him?
- April 09, 2010
Democracy is the pathetic belief that collective wisdom can come from individual ignorance
I want one of those "books" with a tree, some trilingual stuff, a library and a trip to Guatemala.
The way this guy gives away stuff Mimi's got a snowballs chance
Thanks Commissioner see you in Colombia!

I think that pretty much describes it in a nut shell.
Bruins did something last night that they hardly ever did against Pittsburgh, CARELESS TURNOVERS and it cost the Bruins big time!!!!
That game should never had gone into overtime.
Once again the Bruins are never going to beat Chicago in an up and down affair, if they had played like they did in that 3rd period against Pittsburgh with that offense they would have given up at least 4 or 5 goals.
Saying that, not sure about the injury to Horton which could be huge much bigger that last year, the series is far from over, however game 2 will be huge for them, honestly if they fall behind 0-2 can they beat Chicago 4 out of 5 games?? I don't think Chicago will under estimate the Bruins like Vancouver did...
I'm not discouraged, just a realist, the road will be a tough one....
Note: Please no haters only responses from true fans, no trolls please!!

May 3, 2016
A woman in Austin, Texas, is accused of repeatedly feeding her
3-year-old daughter human waste, potentially causing life-threatening infections.
Emily Beth McDonald has been charged with felony injury to a child.
The arrest affidavit says the daughter had been hospitalized for serious infections caused by organisms consistent with those found in human waste. Based on that information, hospital staff placed a camera in the child's room. It allegedly recorded McDonald taking "fecal matter from a spoiled diaper" and placing it on the cap of a tube with a direct link to the child's bloodstream.
McDonald has been released on a $100,000 personal bond. The Austin American-Statesman reports she must wear an electronic monitoring device and comply with a police protective order that prevents her from seeing her three children.
She faces up to life in prison if convicted.

ELKHART — An Elkhart police officer is facing disciplinary action after he allegedly failed to follow standard procedure when an Elkhart resident went to the police station asking for help.
In an Elkhart Board of Public Safety meeting Tuesday, June 11, police chief Dale Pflibsen presented letters accusing Cpl. Brian Chomer of neglect of duty and violation of rules.
According to letters filed at the meeting, Chomer was working at the front desk of the police department May 4 when a woman came in saying she had been a victim of domestic violence caused by her ex-boyfriend. The woman showed physical signs of the incident and said she feared for her safety.
Following an internal investigation, the police department found that "Chomer failed to appropriately investigate the situation and take the necessary precautions to ensure the victim's safety," said a letter filed to the board of public safety.
Another officer followed up on the case and found that the ex-boyfriend was still living in the house with the victim. The ex-boyfriend's report alleges criminal deviate conduct, threat of force, domestic battery with a prior violation and interfering with reporting a crime.
The letter alleging Chomer's violation of the rules cites General Order 55.2.1, which says that the police department's patrol division at the front desk of the station should be available to offer assistance to victims 24 hours a day. If a victim feels in danger, officers must:
Provide information and assistance.
Provide protection and transportation.
Provide information regarding the available services for them through the Elkhart County victims assistance office.
Fill out a domestic violence referral form and send a copy to the prosecutor's office.
Chomer has indicated he wishes to have a hearing in his case to respond to the chief's charges. A hearing with the board of public safety has been scheduled July 9.
As part of the process, Chomer can request to be represented by counsel, call his own witnesses and cross-examine any other witnesses, and present documentary evidence.
Pflibsen's recommendation to the board is to give Chomer a 15-day suspension without pay. However, the board may determine other disciplinary actions, if any, such as demotion, dismissal, reprimand or suspension.

58 miles
4 hrs 28 min saddle time
the flooding has gone down and I was able to ride 117 East through farmlands into Brighton, then down Comm Ave past BU; quick jog right to Fenway and Yawky Way. Only tours today and no vendors. The team is away on the road. Yawky gets me to cross through "The Fens" (park) and turning left at the MFA on Huntington past the Opera House and a right on Mass Ave then keep going to the water and bang a left to circle Pleasure Bay and Castle Island on the Haba! which still has the fortress and canons. Great place to see the tall ships when they are in town. Also, when an aircraft carrier comes in lined with sailors, it's quite a site!
disappointed about the mileage, I thought for sure I'd hit 62

In the minds of many, the idea foreign film evokes thoughts of artsy-fartsy European efforts, perhaps from France or Germany, or action-packed martial arts exposés from China or Japan, or bizarre horror films from various Asian countries. South America often gets left out, which is a shame – this is a whole other continent full of people and artists with unique stories to tell and messages to share.
You're in luck: this weekend begins "Reel Ecuador": The 19th Latin American Film Festival, which focuses specifically this year on films from – can you guess? - Ecuador! The festival features seven feature films and one documentary – and best of all, it's free.
"Reel Ecuador" will run until November 3, and complete details on the schedule, the films being screened, and their various locations can be found at the festival's website.

Where is the 1080p 120fps?
okay, for consumer camera there are gopro3, LX7 and FZ200 which can record 720p 120fps app. 110megapixels/s
there is also 1080p 60fps for most compacts and dslr which is roughly 124mp/s, 1080p 120 fps should be about 248mp/s
so technically is it possible to see 1080p 120fps in cameras like LX8/FZ300 etc?
i am really excited to see some compact cameras which can record upto 240fps at HD or even full HD.

Hunting for sport – and food
By: Jim Linsdau News Messenger/Placer Herald Sports Editor
I inquired of George deVilbiss as to a book written on the values that are passed down from father to son and daughter that come from learning to hunt and fish. Learning to deal with the wiles and wonders of the great outdoors is as old as mankind. The art of hunting and fishing were originally taught to feed oneself, one's family, or even one's tribe or village. The idea of trophy hunting and fishing came into existence when improved economies made it no longer necessary to pursue game for food. It then became sport. This is not to imply hunters and fishermen today don't eat the game they catch or kill, they do, but the necessity of it isn't as great now as it once was. But, because of a book George brought to my attention, hunting and fishing for food may be coming back. Being someone who grew up in Wyoming, hunting and fishing for food was not uncommon. Elk and deer meat were common fare and most had a favorite recipe for trout. In fact, eating game got me through my first year at the University of Wyoming. My family did a lot of hunting and fishing, and my roommate's family owned a farm. He brought the vegetables to school and I brought the entree. We were able to get through school on just the money we earned over summer vacation. The book, "The Beginner's Guide to Hunting Deer for Food" by Jackson Landers, an outdoor writer, is rapidly catching on. Landers grew up in a vegetarian family and said hunting for food is the next best thing to being a vegetarian. Being from Virginia, Landers sticks strictly with eating venison (deer meat). He said it contains very little fat and has no injected hormones or antibiotics. He likens it to the perfect dish for those who prefer organically grown. Landers said the success of his book comes from what he described as a sudden increase in people who want to learn how to hunt as a source of obtaining local food. That would translate into hunting as close to home as one could and still find wild game. The author also offers tips on reducing that "gamy" taste of wild game. He said that comes largely from the method used to dress the kill. He said if beef was handled the way some hunters go about butchering a deer it would taste gamy as well. DeVilbiss also had a good column on reducing the "fish" taste of trout in his last column. Without father's passing down those secrets to their offspring much of this information gets lost. I would hope our economy doesn't sink to the point families would go hungry if unable to bag a deer or catch a big salmon for dinner. But if it supplements the diet that's good, and more wild meat in the freezer means spending less at the grocery store. Reducing demand for domestically grown protein could also help bring down the price of it. For more information on Landers and his book visit jacksonlanders.com.

Just before murder, Melissa Lewis inquired about will
Melissa Lewis spent her last day alive asking two law firm colleagues about preparing a will, according to police interviews in the files of her murder case.
"It wasn't that she was scared," Christina Kitterman, an attorney at Scott Rothstein's now-defunct firm told police on March 9, 2008, two days after her body was found in a canal and four days after she was killed. "She didn't think she was going to die, but just that she wanted to make sure things were taken care of."
Rothstein Rosenfeldt Adler attorney Carl Linder told investigators that Lewis, 39, said "she'd been under a lot of stress," going for a heart/stress test in the weeks before her murder. "I'm sure some of it was work-related, some related to things I don't know about," Linder said.
Perhaps it's a coincidence, but the detail might keep the conspiracy theorists alive in Lewis' murder mystery.
The files, reviewed by myself and Sun-Sentinel reporter Jon Burstein, catalogues the physical and circumstantial evidence against Tony Villegas, who has been charged with Lewis' murder.
Tony Villegas has sat in the Broward main jail for 22 months without bail awaiting a possible death-penalty trial. At the time of Lewis' death, Villegas was the estranged husband of Debra Villegas, RRA's chief financial officer and Rothstein's longtime assistant.
Debra Villegas is under federal investigation in connection with Rothstein's $1.2 billion Ponzi scheme.
In his news story published today, Burstein led with the strongest evidence against Tony Villegas: DNA on Lewis' jacket found in her abandoned SUV matches his.
The DNA sample came from the back of Lewis' jacket, but the source (blood, etc.) was not specified. Police reports also mentioned "a stain on the left sleeve" of Lewis' jacket.
Other evidence: cell phone records and "pings" that seem to link Tony Villegas' movements with Lewis' missing iPhone, a search of Tony Villegas' roommate's computer indicates he did a Wikipedia search of "pepper spray" on the night of Lewis' murder (pepper spray was apparently discharged in Lewis' garage), a witness who said she saw a silver Corvette in Lewis' neighborhood on the evening she disappeared (Tony Villegas drove a silver Corvette), and interviews that painted Tony Villegas as threatening and upset about his unraveling marriage.
It seems a strong case, but there are gaps and inconsistencies that should give defense attorneys ammunition.
Among them:
--In an early interview with police, Debra Villegas said she was "99.9 percent sure" that Tony Villegas had nothing to do with Lewis' death. Her position changed in later interviews.
--In his first interview with police, Tony Villegas' roommate, Wilset Pascual didn't mention anything about pepper spray, doing a computer search for Villegas or Villegas itching himself when Pascual saw him on the night of the murder. His account changed after he read about pepper spray in an online Sun-Sentinel story. But his computer records apparently corroborate his later version of events.
--Police apparently didn't formally interview law firm founders Scott Rothstein or Stuart Rosenfeldt, even though Kitterman told investigators that Lewis "confided in Stuart Rosenfelt a lot...if she was afraid of somebody, she might have talked to Stuart about it."

Traditional German Muenster is a washed-rind cheese made from cows' milk; it has an orange rind and can have a strong odor and a mild to strong flavor; it is enjoyed as a table cheese.
American Muenster (sometimes called Munster) is a smooth, light-colored, semisoft cheese textured with tiny holes; it is much milder than the European varieties. Many American Muensters are made in Wisconsin.
French Muenster is known for its full, sharp flavor, its creamy consistency, and its sometimes assertive odor. Muenster is initially white and odorless; the pungent aroma develops as it is aged over the course of a month, during which the cheese is rind-washed. It is typically seasoned with anise, fennel, caraway, or cumin seeds.

By Ashley Luthern
Downtown has undergone many changes over the last century, but the neoclassical facade of 26 N. Phelps St. has remained nearly untouched since its 1910 construction.
The building was the home of the Frankle Brothers Tobacco Co. from 1933 to 1985.
Now it houses Pig Iron Press, a publishing company; a copy service; Pig Iron Literary and Art Works, a nonprofit organization; the Mahoning Valley Greens political party; and The Pig Pen, where people can buy vintage and collectible items.
Jim Villani, owner and operator of Pig Iron Press, said the building isn't the only classic feature of his business. He still uses a handcrafted light table, vinyl binding and the same methods of printing he used when he founded the press in 1975.
"My argument is, I can be more specific with the type," he explained. "Everything here is completely crafted by myself."
Villani said the benefits of having a business in an old building balances the drawbacks.
"It has a sense of history. Some people are attracted to that, but some are split and don't like it," he said. "But it's also solid, stable and has a better ambience than a new building."
Villani said the disadvantages include upkeep of original features, such as the lathe plastering, and making some "cosmetic" changes.
T. Sharon Woodberry, the city's economic-development director, said it can be difficult to attract businesses to older structures.
"There's definitely a challenge with historic buildings," she said. "Being older, additional work usually needs to be done to bring it up to current standards. It's a balancing act."
Woodberry said federal and state historic-tax credits often are available for those purposes and that owners of business ventures in the Federal Building and Erie Terminal Building were looking into those resources.
Villani said his companies still fall short of upkeep costs, so he also teaches English at Walsh University in North Canton. It hasn't stopped his building's being foreclosed upon, however.
Villani, who took over the building in 1993, did not pay his taxes on the building for four years. As a result, the Mahoning County treasurer's office foreclosed, put a lien on it and sold that lien to American Tax Funding. Villani said he's involved in a court battle to resolve the $11,000 he owes.
But, he said, his failure to pay taxes was based on a specific decision.
"It was to protest the economy and that there's no help from the city to create daytime business. They're just interested in bars," he said, asserting that he had more foot traffic 10 years ago than today.
Woodberry strongly disagreed with that statement, however.
"I can understand that there is some frustration with businesses in terms of wanting to see more foot traffic. What I disagree with is that there aren't any efforts to do that," Woodberry said.
She cited the VXI Global Solutions inbound call center, which has about 700 employees, as one example of the city's bringing people downtown during the day.
Villani said he remains optimistic, especially with the possibility of downtown housing catering to college students and young professionals.
"The building is in very good shape," he said. "You know, I still have a functioning elevator that's original to the building."
Hmmm-better start taking some anti negative meds, you've let too many things get to you.
I applaud Pig Iron Press, and will make an effort to get in there to see what all Mr. Villani has to offer. I didn't realize it was anything but a publishing concern. How lovely!!!
I would like to answer "leetorres" assertion that Youngstown people "probably do not read much anyway." I used to work at an independent bookstore that is sadly gone now due to the refusal of it's owner's to pay its bills. And it wasn't that they couldn't have done so. We surpassed $1 million in sales in our first 7months (Jan-July), and continued to surpass $1 million per year even after a major competitor opened nearby. I also worked at Waldenbook in Southern Park Mall in the early 1990s. I was shocked that they did over $1 million a year--at a Waldenbook!!! When I lived in Nashville, I worked for an independent store there in a major mall, and we never broke $1 million in the four years I worked for them--in "the Athens of the South!!!" Maybe Youngstown isn't all we could hope, but its people do read at a voracious rate, and that is worthy of praise.
WE DO NOT NEED STARBUCKS DOWNTOWN! we offer better, fair trade, and organic coffee more hours a day than any starbucks! Day time and night time are both great downtown, and more big things are coming!
Yeah I agree. The Lemon Grove is awesome, unique, and it adds to the local character of Downtown. The coffee and food are also great! I hit the Grove whenever I'm back in town.
Downtown has tremendous potential to be a place that supports local entrepreneurship and small business, and that's exactly what this community needs it to be! You can go to a Starbucks any old place, but the Grove and the Pig Iron Press are destinations unique to the Valley!
Thinking back on the original use of the Pig Iron building, I think a local cigar shop would be a neat addition to downtown! I don't know of anything down there that caters to that market, but it seems like something that might do well in one of the storefronts on Phelps or Federal.
Youngstown is not the only city or town to be struggling right now. The economy is bad and not getting any better. If we keep getting taxed to death we won't be able to buy anything and thats sad.

I think ximtool only understands the IIS protocol spoken by both it and DS9; XPA is a DS9-specific thing. I was just thinking out loud that it would be nice to have a way to display overlays in either program using Matplotlib commands (but even if you'd be interested in that, it's hard to predict right now whether we'd need it enough to work on it).

This really depends on the model number and revision of your chipset.I have a bcm4306 revision 2 chipset. The bcm43xx_mac80211 driver will not work for me. (The chipset does not have enough memory for the revision 4 firmware.) I had to blacklist that driver and use the old bcm43xx driver.
Later chipsets can handle the new firmware. It seems that there is a bit of overlap on pci ids involving this chipset.

Reuters Soundbites
Ambassador Rice (Nov. 29): "Good afternoon. We've been discussing North Korea in the Security Council this morning and I'd like to make a brief statement on that.
"The recently reported nuclear activities by DPRK are clear violations of UN Security Council Resolutions 1718 and 1874, and of the commitments made by North Korea under the 2005 joint statement. The U.S. strongly condemns these violations. The Security Council will now need to study carefully the recent revelations and determine the appropriate way forward. In the meantime, these developments underscore the need for all states to redouble their commitment to implementing the strong sanctions imposed in Security Council Resolutions 1718 and 1874.
"We also expect the Security Council's DPRK sanctions committee and the UN panel of experts to intensify their important, ongoing efforts to tighten sanctions enforcement. Of course, our concerns about these nuclear activities have only been heightened by North Korea's deadly, unprovoked attack last week on Yongp'yong, an island under UN command, control, and administered by South Korea. The United States strongly condemns this outrageous action by North Korea which resulted in four deaths – two South Korean marines and two civilians – and wounded 18 soldiers and civilians.
"We continue to call on North Korea to cease its irresponsible actions against its neighbors, to fully abide by the terms of the armistice, and to adhere to its international obligations. And we will continue to work with the international community to maintain peace and security in this region as we simultaneously confront the threat posed by North Korea's ongoing nuclear activities.
"Happy to take a few questions.
"Well, we're certainly in close consultations with China and other critical countries in the region. And obviously, we've looked to China to play a responsible leadership role in working to maintain peace and security in that region. It's in China's interest. It's in the interest of the countries in the region, and we expect them to take steps that are consistent with their obligations and all of our obligations under UN Security Council resolutions, and to work, as we all must, to uphold them and implement them. Thank you." Full Text»

What a gorgeous day for a wedding and what a fantastic couple we had to photograph. Alessa and Anthony first met each other at the Maximo Park concert at Richards on Richards in Vancouver. Anthony who has traveled a lot and is originally from Ireland, the selection of Doolin's Irish Pub as their first date was a good choice.
The ceremony was beautiful at St. Augustine's Church. Their favourite memory from the wedding day was seeing each other all dressed up at the church for the first time. There was one unexpected moment for Alessa on the wedding day that happened when Anthony went in for a french kiss in the church! Alessa's favourite colour is purple, {something I learned at their engagement shoot} and with the little touches of different shades of purple really brought everything together. I asked them to describe the day in three words and I love their answer, "Magical. Perfect. Unforgettable."
I think the most important advice and something every bride and groom has to remember is what Alessa says, "Don't sweat the small stuff!" Thank you to the bridal party and Alessa and Anthony for letting us be a part of your day. You both were so happy and I can't wait to show you even more photos!!
Just a few touch-ups from Alessa's girls before the ceremony starts.
Joanna got this great exit photo of Anthony and Alessa in the bubbles.
The gorgeous ladies on the right and a typical Saturday afternoon at the beach on the left.
Ahem, if you were in the area of Sunset Beach this day you would have seen a lot of glitter flying. I'm still finding it in my camera bag! But I do love the photo in the top right with just that touch of sparkle.
Alessa, you looked absolutely stunning.
You know I always like a good running photo!
This may be one of my fave photos, the beauty of the bridal party and Vancouver all in one!
There's always time for a few candids!
When the sunshine is just in that perfect spot, we can get magical photos. LOVE it when that happens.
We also loved the vintage car. Gorg.
I loved the first dance tune choice. Lovesong by Adele.
Congratulations Alessa and Anthony! I wish you many, many years of happiness and a fantastic honeymoon in Nassau, Bahamas !

Spotlight on Tim Duncan: He turns 37 this month and is still a force, scoring 31 points with 14 rebounds and four blocks in San Antonio's most recent game. Duncan, famously called "The Big Fundamental," is third in the NBA at 2.7 blocks per game, and he's shooting 81.3 percent from the foul line, which is actually the best he ever has.
Spurs: Guard Manu Ginobili (hamstring) is out, while guard Tony Parker (neck) is questionable. ... The Spurs lead the season series against the Nuggets 2-1. They exploded in the first game, winning 126-100, with five 3-pointers from Ginobili. Denver countered with a close home win in the second game and had a chance to win the third game at San Antonio, but Andre Miller missed a layup at the buzzer. ... San Antonio has won four of its past six games vs. the Nuggets at the Pepsi Center.
Nuggets: Coach George Karl was honored Tuesday with the Rudy Tomjanovich Award, given by the Pro Basketball Writers Association for the coach displaying excellence on the court and with the media. ... Counting Wednesday, Denver has five games left and needs to win two to set the franchise NBA record for wins. Denver won 54 in 1987-88 and again in 2008-09. ... The Nuggets have won 19 of their past 21 games and have won 20 straight home games, tying the team's longest streak, set in 1985. ... Wilson Chandler will likely start for Danilo Gallinari, who is out for the season (knee). Chandler started four games this season, averaging 15.5 points and 4.8 rebounds in those games (Denver went 3-1).

Gisele Bundchen is Definitely Preggers!Karl Erikson
Some photos of supermodel Gisele Bundchen earlier this week had people buzzing because there was a very visible bump showing on Gisele's baby-area. She and quarterback Tom Brady were married earlier this year. And now sources tell People magazine that Gisele is definitely pregnant and "ecstatic."
"Gisele will be an excellent mothers," says the source. "She's always wanted kids." The source also says Gisele is due early next year.
Another source says, "You know Gisele and Tom are just enjoying themselves, being married and just doing their thing. Gisele has been talking about it with friends. She says she's ready for a family."
This will be her first child. Tom already has a 21-month-old son with his ex-girlfriend.

Get Your Rebounding ON
I LOVE rebounding!
Many of you may be asking "What is rebounding and what is she talking about?" I am here to inform you and hopefully get you interested in this fantastic form of movement and exercise. Rebounding is the therapeutic movement on a mini-trampoline. Because it moves all parts of the body all at once, it can also be called cellular exercise.
Rebounding is a lymphatic exercise. The lymphatic system is the metabolic garbage can of the body. It rids you of toxins such as dead and cancerous cells, nitrogenous wastes, fat, infectious viruses, heavy metals, and other assorted junk cast off by the cells. The movement performed in rebounding provides the stimulus for a free-flowing system that drains away these potential poisons. Rebounding's bouncing motion effectively moves and recycles the lymph and the entire blood supply through the body many times during the course of the rebounding session. Rebounding has the same effect on your body as jumping rope, but without any jarring effect to the ankles, knees, and lower back that comes from hitting the ground. (source)
As an exercise it is superior to any other because it not only uses gravity but also two other forces, acceleration and deceleration. At the top of the bounce you experience weightlessness, and at the bottom your weight doubles pulling you into the center of the rebounder.
Rebounding is an exercise that reduces your body fat – which is highly beneficial for diabetes and a host of other diseases, provides an aerobic effect for your heart, and gives your body energy when it's tired. I jump on my rebounder when I NEED energy, not just when I HAVE energy! You can easily jump on your mini-trampoline in your living room, your office, or in your backyard. Rebounding is the most convenient form of exercise around.
The mini-trampoline and safety
Everyone should start with the gentle "health bounce" which means your feet remain IN CONTACT with the mat while the body moves up and down. The health bounce is sufficient to obtain all the benefits of rebounding while gently strengthening the entire body. The health bounce can be done while talking on the phone, listening to podcasts on your ipod or watching TV. Adults can start with 5 minutes of rebounding and increase their time as their fitness level improves.
When I have been working at the computer for awhile and know that I need to get my circulation going, or feeling sluggish or stagnant – REBOUNDING to the rescue. I usually start slowly with some gentle bouncing and then work up from there. Some days are gentle according to what my body wants and some days are more active and vigorous. I love to turn on some good tunes and have FUN!
You need a quality rebounder
I bought my Urban Rebounder at Buy.com (now known as Rakuten.com) 3 years ago and you can also get them at Amazon.com. Another quality one is Reboundair. Just don't go to your local Walmart and buy one – they are cheap, will not last that long and some people claimed to have gotten injured on the "low quality" rebounders.
Check out my video below for more information and a 10 minute bouncing routine that I do. Hope you pick up some moves to incorporate into your own routine, if you own a rebounder. If not, watch how fun it is and save up for one.
I wear my Vibram five finger toe shoes when rebounding during the cold months because my feet are cold! We keep our house on the cool/warm side to save gas. I prefer to rebound barefoot – which happens when the temps are warmer. Find what works best for you.
Other benefits of rebounding
- Increases oxygen delivery and blood flow.
- Promotes Mind-Body Unity – better learning, intuition, balance of two hemispheres of the brain.
- Creates homeostasis which is the general balance of all systems of the body. Sickness represents blockages in the body. Rebound Exercise can help to remove the blockages, return blood flow and circulation back into the diseased parts.
- It also increases the white blood count, thus strengthens the immune system. One most important aspect is the return of the trapped blood proteins. (source)
Various movements on the rebounder
Health Bounce
This move bounces you gently without leaving the mat. Just the up and down movement starts the flow of the lymphatic. 2 minutes will increase the lymph flow up to 14 times.
- warm-up
- relieves tension, relaxes
- rehabilitates after bed rest
- stabilizes vestibular (inner ear)
- stimulates the nerves in the joints, ligaments, and muscles.
- creates balance between mind and body, slows the brain waves to alpha level which is the level where we connect with the inner world, learn better and can relax
- improves vision
Strength Bounce
The body weighs 1 G at resting point. The higher you jump, you increase the G force where at 4 G you access the maximum oxygen absorption.
For this bounce you want to spread you legs shoulder-wide and move up and down leaving the mat. For more fun you can kick your legs up and forward. By leaving the mat, even your feet get the benefit of massage when you touch the mat again. That stimulates all the reflex point on the bottom of the feet. You can try to land on your toes and roll the foot down toward the heels. That is added stimulation to the internal organ. (source)
Aerobic Bounces
For this bounce you want to get your heart rate up. By moving vigorously on the rebounder, this can be accomplished and should be kept up for 20 minutes to get the most benefits. By adding the deep diaphragmatic breathing it can be accomplished with any move. To avoid getting bored, do a variety of bounces. Lifting the arms above the heart will increase the heart rate and the oxygen flow. (source)
- jogging
- sprinting
- twist
- shuffle
- kick legs
- curling legs
- criss-cross legs and arms
- jumping jacks, etc.
The important thing is to have fun!

Thursday, Aug. 9, 2012
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Moving is often a stressful experience -- even more so if you're a senior citizen.
To serve this growing niche, senior move management services have increased in the past decade. These companies help relocate seniors to another home, retirement communities or assisted living facilities.
What makes them different from a standard moving company is that they will help you decide what to take and how to sort, organize and donate your items.
"You think of your grandmother. You walk into her home and you see all those little things, maybe things you made for her and it's set in one place, one location, and we want to be able to reenact that same type of feeling back at their new place because even though they might be going to a small place, many of them are afraid: 'Is it going to be home?' We want to make it home for them, so making it home is trying to find for many of them, if possible, putting things exactly where they are," said Sean Tiehaara, senior move manager.
One of the most common complaints with movers is being quoted one price before the move and then being charged a higher price at the time of the move. Make sure you get everything in writing.
Of course, you always want to interview more than one company before making a decision. Check to see if they are a member of the National Association of Senior Move Managers.

No President Can 'Shape' Mideast Events
Dan Gardner, Ottawa Citizen
AP Photo
Remember, in 2005, it wasn't only conservatives throwing rose petals at George W. Bush. It was everyone who fell for the lazy logic of post hoc ergo propter hoc and the largely unspoken assumption that big change in the Middle East must come from the White House. Similarly, criticism of Obama isn't only from conservatives. It's from everyone who assumes Obama could have done something to guide the Arab Spring to a happier conclusion, without ever specifying what exactly that "something" is. Romney is explicit about this. The United States has been left at "the mercy of events" thanks to Barack Obama, he said in a speech Sunday. The president must "shape events." One would think the last decade of American experience in the Middle East would have tempered that...

Stratocaster Lovers!!!
Hey, here I'm creating a thread for all Stratocaster lovers, owners, or just played ur friend's Strat??? I don't want this to lose to the new telecaster thread!! :)
I totally love my Stratocaster, Mexican Made with some altered Pickups and an active preamp.
Share your Strat Love!!! :D
The UG Profile is activated, along with the UG Groups, so i've made the official Stratocaster Lovers thread. Join and share the love for STRATOCASTERS!!!
I love strats! But I only own a Cort SP-3 strat wanna be :( but I put fender vintage noisless pickups in it :) And I'm currently in the process of installing 250K pots :)
dude its all cool man. the beauty of strats is that u get to mod ur specs so easily.
i've done so much with it and its only 2 years old still. i got the fender hot noiseless set :)
I'm gettin' an american deluxe soon. eric johnson sig is the best production strat though.
i love the neck on the deluxe strat. and the electronics are okay too. match it up with a nice amp ;)
im not really a fan of the U-neck on the EJ strat... big big big lol. i like the clapton strat's neck. do u??? i think it's awesome. i love the body+electronics on the EJ.
Yeah, I think after I get my new amp, If I have $150 burning a whole in my pocket, I'm going to order a Vintage white alder body off warmoth, because I suspect that my current body may be plywood :( Have you seen those bridges they make for your strat that is a hardtail string through? What are your opinions on those?
im a strat lover but i don't own one :( but i am saving for a beautiful jap strat
i have a vintage 6-point tremolo. i don't use the whammy bar so i screwed them all down, put a block of wood under, and put more springs on it so that thing's basically hardtail lol haha
vintage white alder body sounds hot. and plywood guitars aren't so heavy. u might lose sustain for that... my friend has a squier and its definitet it's not alder at least hahaha
but the only concern from me is that what if ur pickguard now don't fit on the warmoth body? like u know different screw holes or maybe the pickguard being too small for the pickup/knob routs...? i'd hate that to happen... u can always re-wire on a new pickguard tho. thats 1hr~1.5hr of practice time...
EDIT:^^Japanese strats are awesome. ima go over to Japan like next summer. guess what i'm gonna come back with!!! lol Fender Made in Japan Stratocaster ^_^
I already made up my mind for summer 2008 :D
Stratocasters are so nice nice. I bet they are expensive. I think stratos is one of the best guitars in america.
Love strats and all their off shoots
My favorite design of all
i love ur opinion. they are indeed expensive, but there are even more expensive comparisons. Strats used to be an entry level guitar, probably made most famous by jimi hendrix, with so many players picking them up and using then exclusively. early influenced strat players were Eric Clapton, Deep Purple's Ritchie Blackmore, Rory Gallagher (he wasn't influenced so much by Jimi i believe), and then Eddie Van Halen made it to the next level.
i found an interesting article about cutting the noise on stratocasters and other single coil pickup instruments. :D
it sounds really clever.
I played my friends MIM strat and didn't like it at all. It felt really unnatural to play it.
aww... sorry to hear that... this forum might not be for u... =/
but u might like the american strats :D
Wow thats a good idea!
i have an american strat yay but i wanna replace the bridge somehow that damn thing will NOT stay in tune for a second!but i looooove its sound and comfortabilaty!yay!
Haha I'm gonna play in the Strat thread too..
I've been gassing for a 70's tele just 'cos I love the big headstocks. I almost bought one the other day but I wanted to try get this ENGL amp instead so I restrained myself.
The 70s strats seem to be all the rage here in AUS lately, I guess because they're vintage but still relatively cheap. (As opposed to some of he $30 000 60s strats getting around)
I actually really like my Stratocaster. I aquired it, sight-unseen, through a trade so I wasn't quite sure (I hadn't ever really been a Strat fan but I was getting a pretty good deal). After I get my amp situation squared-away, decide how badly I wan't to keep my LP (It's a very nice guitar but I'm a Fender guy at heart), and get a Telecaster, I'd like to add a 60's Classic Players and a MIJ (I'm planning on bringing tw back with me next time I go) to my collection.
i have a CIJ 62 reissue strat which i bought from ebay and i bloody love it. i went into the store and played a few american ones and i could honestly not tell the difference. Mine has an alder body and texas special pickups, 3 tone sunburst with aged parts. it looks very similar to john frusciantes which is one of the reasons i bought it lol
I'm looking at a Fender Highway 1 Stratocaster (USA). How is this model compare to other made in USAs?

Not exactly the most original premise, but Carpenter spoke highly of
the script, which has already been penned. Amber Heard, known as Seth
Rogen's inexplicably gorgeous girlfriend in Pineapple Express, has
signed on as the resident starlet-in-peril.
Carpenter had a prolific period of well-regarded titles in the '70s and '80s, but his career slowed after a string of flops through the '90s. He last made the goofy sub-B movie Ghost of Mars.Related links:Review: Pineapple ExpressTheOfficialJohnCarpenter.comIMDb: John Carpenter Got a news tip for Paste? E-mail email@example.com.

When will the traditional model of software licensing die? Surely it is only a matter of time.
This week alone, we've seen Oracle accused of costing customers millions of pounds through its "non-transparent and complicated licensing policy". Legal experts say that firms are being forced to pay huge penalties when using Oracle software in a virtualised environment - a set-up that is increasingly common.
Meanwhile, SAP users in the UK have called for more transparency and better value for money in the supplier's licensing policies. Here too, a user group survey suggests that 95% of SAP customers believe the firm's software licensing is too complicated.
Licensing has always been a point of contention for IT leaders. Computer Weekly was writing about how big software firms would rip off customers through opaque terms and conditions as long ago as the 1990s.
But now, with the growth of the cloud and software as a service, those old models of upfront licence fees with annual maintenance payments look increasingly outdated and inappropriate for a modern IT environment.
One of the biggest culprits is Microsoft, but even the world's biggest software provider is showing early hints of realising the world has changed. CEO Steve Ballmer told shareholders this week that the firm is undergoing a "fundamental shift", and now sees itself as "devices and services company".
The implication between the lines, surely, must be that you don't sell devices and services on the same basis as a conventional software licence. It would be a huge change, with enormous financial implications, were Microsoft to move to a subscription-based model more in tune with the pay-as-you-go ethos of the cloud. It clearly won't happen overnight - but if that is the direction of travel, then perhaps even Microsoft is starting to get it right.
Of course, supporters of open source will be smiling smugly at the travails of licence-encumbered users. It is no coincidence that most of the new cloud services - Amazon, Google, Facebook etc - are built on open-source principles. Imagine the cost of an Oracle database licence for Facebook's server infrastructure.
There's a bright future for software companies - their products will power the world and our lives. But there are gloomy prospects for any firms that insist on hanging on to outdated software licensing practices from a different age.

Kenmore Ave Miriam Miranda is the Coordinator of the Organizacion Fraternal Negra Hondurena (OFRANEH), Fraternal Black Organization of Honduras. OFRANEH was founded in 1979 to represent and advocate for the interests of the Afro-Carib Garífuna minority in Honduras. OFRANEH works to protect the Garífuna community's capacity for self-determination through programs promoting their political, social, economic and cultural advancement. For more than two decades of violent and systematic threats of expulsion as a result of the interests of the national & international tourist industry, international financial institutions (including the World Bank and the IDB), Honduran elite & businessmen, the military and police that are all associated with the construction of the mega tourist projects. Miriam is also an important Afro-Honduran leader in the National Front of Popular Resistance of Honduras, a wide coalition of workers', campesino and grassroots organizations that opposed the 2009 coup d'etat of former President Manuel Zelaya and currently supports a participatory democracy that would lead to the establishment of a national constituent assembly. For more than 16 years, Miriam has been working in the human rights movement, focusing mainly on women's rights and the rights of indigenous and black people, including the crucial struggle for communal access to and control over land. Early this year, in March, Honduran police unjustly beat and assaulted Miriam Miranda during an arrest for her involvement in protest in the Garifuna community La Triunfo de la Cruz. Miriam sustained burns on her abdomen from tear gas bombs being fired. After two hours of detainment and being subjected to racial epitaphs by police, Miriam was informed of her rights and told she was being held on sedition charges.

So, my DD has never been left with anyone but my DH or a Granparent and she is going on 14 months. I think it is great that I have had so much time with her and haven't missed a day but at the same time I'm SO nervous to leave her with someone who isn't family because I have no idea how she will react. I'm not worried about the person babysitting her, I'm more worried about how DD will be toward them. She's a good baby, happy kid and all, I just have NO idea how she would be with someone else watching her. I am a bit of a control freak too so it might drive me crazy knowing she's home with someone else. I NEED to find a good babysitter though so hubby and I can have a date night occasionally. Any advice? I feel crazy!
p.s. she is my first and only kiddo so far.

The Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament says it doesn't plan to change its mind on which boat won this year's controversial tournament.
In a statement released Friday morning, the tournament says its board of directors "has remained firm in it decision" to disqualify Citation from the top prize. The tournament says other media suggests that the board had not made a final decision in the case.
Big Rock did say that a lawyer for Citation was given the chance to present their case to a representative of the board and its lawyer on Tuesday. "However, at no time prior to, during, or since the meeting has the Board expressed any intent to change its decision," said the statement.
Citation was disqualified June 22nd after the tournament learned that a crew member on the boat did not have a state fishing license, a requirement under Big Rock rules.
The board voted to give this year's top prize instead to Carnivore. That crew now receives the $999,453 first prize money for catching a 528-pound marlin.
Citation filed a lawsuit in Dare County, asking that a judge declare them the winner.
