College Hockey:Holy Cross upsets Boston College, gets 'pretty big' victory
CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. — It may not have been Minnesota all over again, but the Holy Cross Crusaders certainly are celebrating like it's 2006.
The Crusaders, whose biggest win in program history was a 2006 NCAA tournament upset of then-top-seeded Minnesota, pulled off yet another major upset on Friday, jumping out to a 5-1 lead against Boston College before holding on for a 5-4 win at BC's Kelley Rink.
It was the first win for an Atlantic Hockey team over Boston College.
"It's pretty big," said coach Paul Pearl when ask of the significance of beating BC. "They're an excellent team and an excellent program. They do things right, how we'd like to model ourselves."
On Friday, for two periods it appeared the two teams had switched roles. The high-flying Eagles struggled to get their transition game going while Holy Cross, a team struggling to score goals this season, transitioned the puck perfectly and scored four goals on the rush.
But for Pearl, as nice as it was to see his offense get going, he pointed to the play of his defense for what keyed the victory.
"We did not turn the puck over in the middle of the ice," said Pearl. "We probably did and I'll watch the video and see that. But it was one or two [times], not nine or 10."
At the same time, Holy Cross got the better goaltending performance. BC's Thatcher Demko, returning to the lineup for the first time Nov. 8 having nursed a hamstring injury, fought the puck at times, allowing five goals on 18 shots.
At the other end, Matt Ginn was brilliant, particularly late in the game after BC had pulled within a goal. He made three major saves in the final two minutes, robbing Adam Gilmour with a left pad rebound save before stonewalling Johnny Gaudreau first on a bid from 15 feet and then on a breakaway with 15 seconds remaining.
"Matt's a very good goaltender and if he can see it, he can usually stop it," said Pearl of Ginn, who finished the game with 34 saves. "[The shots at the end] were point-blank and he was able to square up to the puck and keep composed in those scrambling situations."
Despite falling behind, Boston College emerged from the opening faceoff with jump and created some early scoring chances, but Ginn was strong. It was then the Crusaders who jumped out to an early 2-0 lead thanks to goals 1:34 apart.
The first came stuff attempt by Jake Youso led to an errant clearing attempt by the Eagles. Joe McNamara, son of former Boston College defenseman John McNamara, intercepted the pass and fired a shot that Mike Barrett deflected for his third goal of the season at 12:24.
With the Crusaders buzzing, first-line winger Castan Sommer extended the lead with a wraparound bid that Demko couldn't handle. The goal stunned the Kelley Rink crowd of 6,527 and gave Holy Cross a 2-0 lead.
BC answered quickly.
Kevin Hayes drove down the left wing and fired a tough-angle shot that deflected off the stick of Holy Cross defenseman Nathaniel Domagala and over the shoulder of Ginn at 14:53 to pull BC within a goal.
BC held a 9-7 advantage in shots through one, but trailed 2-1.
In the second, Holy Cross played opportunistic hockey, capitalizing on three BC defensive errors to pot three goals and expand the lead to 5-1.
Adam Schmidt chipped a self-pass off the boards at his defensive blue line and walked in with space, firing a shot glove side on Demko at 8:00 for the 3-1 lead.
Just over four minutes later, Barrett scored his second goal of the game, finding room on the left side and cutting to the middle to fire another shot glove side on Demko that found the net.
Matt Vidal than finished off a perfect pass on a 2-on-1 after an Eagles' turnover in the neutral zone, roofing the third goal of the period to Demko's glove side at 16:53.
Through two period Holy Cross had just 15 shots, but beat Demko five times.
With the game seemingly out of reach, the Eagles finally came to life in the third.
Ryan Fitzgerald fired home a Danny Linell pass at 6:57. Michael Sit and Hayes then scored twice in 27 seconds to pull BC within one with 4:02 left.
From there, Ginn was Holy Cross' best player on the ice, finishing the third with 14 saves in a period Holy Cross was outshot, 17-3.
For BC, it is the second straight game the Eagles have fallen behind 5-1. Last Sunday, the Eagles had no response to that deficit at Maine and on Friday, the comeback was too little, too late.
"It's hard to win one period and hope to win a hockey game," said BC coach Jerry York. "Lesson learned. We came back and played very well in the third period, but a little too late and not enough."

Rocket Motor Section, Liquid Fuel, American Rocket Society No. 4
This object is part of the American Rocket Society's (ARS) second and last motor to fly. It was used in the flight of ARS Rocket No. 4 on 9 September 1934 at Marine Park, Great Kills, Staten Island, New York. The rocket went up to 116 m (382 ft) and landed 408 m (1,338 ft) away. It flew about 1500 km/h (600 miles an hour).
The motor, which burned gasoline and liquid oxygen, originally had four canted exhaust nozzles facing outward, but during the flight one of the nozzles burned out and was lost while another nozzle was removed for an examination of the rocket and not replaced. The specimen therefore only has two of the remaining nozzles. After this flight, the ARS members decided to concentrate instead on ground static tests of motors. ARS founder G. Edward Pendray gave this object to the Smithsonian in 1966.

Hypo thyroid – I am gaining weight at rapid speed..I am over 200 lbs. I starve myself, I work out 3 days a week (treadmill and bike) at least 45 minutes each time. I try to watch what I eat. My doctor has put me on synthroids (levothyroxine) for 30 day over the last two years and it is not working. It's frustrating because the weight is getting too heavy to carry around.

User reviews on Sushi: The Global Catch
I thought this was an interesting and informative doc**entary and I recommend seeing it in the theaters. The film might be a bit one-sided but it is persuasive and based on facts and it has a good and important message. I love sushi myself as I bet a lot of people and I think this film will help me to be more conscious about what kind of sushi I order and I really like that. I like that the film is never pretentious and it becomes message-oriented really fast and easy. Overall, this is a great film and I think it is important that people see it and hopefully change how they eat sushi.

How Much Do Orchids Cost?
No doubt that orchid is one of the most loved houseplants of all time. Ranging in different types, orchids have diverse colors and are perfect for corsages, decorations and even for elegant display. Whether you want a live plant that you can grow in your house or a bunch of freshly cut flowers, there are many flower shops that you can check out to satisfy the "orchid-lover" in you. In fact, the internet is an avenue where you can find a wide array of choices that suit your budget.
How much does it cost?
- Prices for these tropical flowers vary considerably as there are different kinds of orchids. Rare ones are expected to be a lot pricier than the common kinds, not to mention that other orchids are seasonal. They can only be grown or produced at a particular time. As for live orchids, they will be more expensive. Regardless of the type, they can range from about $30 – $275. Prices for an orchid corsage range from $16-40, depending on the type, color and number of blooms.
- The same price ranges are supported by online shopping stores such as shopping.yahoo.com. The site features and sells orchids of varying types and prices. A bunch of purple dendrobium orchids, for example, are priced at $59.99 while live imperial purple orchid costs $64.95. Other orchids cost over a hundred dollars as well. These include the Cymbidium Orchids that cost $119.99. The said orchid is perfect as Mother's Day present.
- Discounted prices for orchids are also offered online. Stores such as 1888orchids.com feature discounted live orchids from $49.95 to $79.95.
- Live orchids without a blossomed flower cost less. A Sedirea japonica orchid, for instance, is sold at Orchidweb.com for $35 (base price). This potted plant orchid is expected to blossom during spring and summer.
- If you have a green thumb and the patience to grow your own orchid, you can also opt for orchid seedlings. You can buy these seedlings for $7.50 – $20.00 per pack, depending on the type.
What is going to be included?
- If you are going to buy a live orchid with a flower(s), expect to get it through a pot already. The pot is usually made of ordinary clay. However, others can be more stylish. For example, one type of orchid is planted in glass planter which makes it more appealing and sophisticated to see. If you order from a flower company for something such as a funeral or holiday, you can usually choose a nice vase or pot as well.
- A few stores offer both common and exotic orchids such as Dendrobium, Mokara, Cymbidium, Mini Cymbidium, Phalaenopsis, Oncidium, and Vanda, among many others. You can either buy in bulk, by wholesale or individually. A dazzling array of colors and patterns can be chosen.
- Bulk orchids are usually available year round. However, a few breeds are seasonal. Customized orders can also be specified. Regardless of the order or of what type of orchid it is, most stores assure clients of direct from farm for longer vase life and savings as well.
- As for the shipping, it is not usually shouldered by the store (unless it is specified beforehand).
What are the extra costs?
- Maintenance costs. Live orchids will not just magically give out plenty of flowers without you taking care of them. Like any other plants, taking care or orchids is not a cakewalk. In fact, taking care of these tropical flowers is stereotypically very hard. Costs for fertilizers and vitamins, among many others, must be taken into consideration.
- Necessary orchid supplies. If you are serious in planting and growing orchids, you know that other supplies are needed. Coconut husk and Sphagnum moss are two of the must-haves to ensure that the flower is grown in a condition conducive to its nature. These are available in stores selling orchids. OrchidDistributors.com, for instance, sells coconut husk for easy repotting at $12.09 (10 pieces). Sphagnum Moss, on the other hand, is needed for holding water and for keeping the plant moist for a longer period of time. The said site sells it for $10.08 (8 oz.) while Orchidweb.com sells the same moss for $7.50 as the base price.
- Shipping fees. A few online stores include the shipping fees in the package of the orchid you are buying. However, only a very few do this. Majority of stores online let you shoulder the shipping expenses. Like any other commodity, shipping fees vary according to your location and to your specific order.
Factors that influence the price:
- Kind of orchid. As mentioned, some orchids are rare. Their rarity is influenced by the season and the sensitivity of the technology employed in growing them. However, the technology has improved that enabled orchid breeders to easily grow orchids at greater quantity in a shorter amount of time, which results in low prices. According to Orchidsalberta.com, Phalaenopsis and Cattleya among others can be purchased in flower for as little as $20.
- Season. If the orchid is in season, then you will surely find one at a seemingly affordable price. However, if the flower is not that common during the time you ordered it, you will definitely pay a lot for it.
Tips to know:
- As the largest family of flowering plants in the world, orchids have an estimated of 30,000+ species.
- Orchids needs vary by variety. Phalaenopsis is one of the most easy to take care of. It requires bright but indirect light and its flowers last for quite some time. They are also one of the most common to find.
- Orchids are a common sight at weddings as focal and accentuating wedding flowers since they are gorgeous and elegant. Many of these tropical flowers take the shape of wedding bouquets, boutonnieres, wedding cake topper, corsages, centerpieces and more.
How can I save money?
- Opt for the plants with more buds and are already open. This way, you can be sure that you will enjoy the full blooming of the plant without bud blast.
- Buy the orchid that you like rather than ordering by price. Keep in mind that the price does not determine the aesthetics of the orchids. More expensive often does not mean better orchids.
- Make sure that the plant has strong roots. Look at the bottom of the pot to see if you can see roots through the holes. In addition, ensure that the plant is sturdy enough. If it is loose in the mix, then do not buy it.
- Do not just purchase an orchid just because it is on sale. If you find one, there must be a reason for it. Usually, it is for clearance already. It is suggested to get a better buy in terms of plant quality and bloom time by choosing a plant that is not on clearance.

Red Raiders Fall to Missouri, 88-63
February 4, 1999
COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) - After a few so-so games, Albert White was back to being Missouri's go-to guy.
White took control in the second half with all but six of his 24 points, and added six assists as the 24th-ranked Tigers beat Texas Tech 88-63 Wednesday night.
White rebounded from one of his lesser games, an eight-point effort against Baylor on Saturday in which he appeared content to watch freshman point guard Keyon Dooling run up a career-high 22 points. White was so keyed-up in the second half that coach Norm Stewart sat him for a few seconds to calm him down.
"Coach let me go and I appreciate that," White said. "My teammates knew I was in a zone and they were looking for me. I appreciate that."
This time it was Dooling, who finished with 21 points, who was content to watch at times.
"Everybody knows who's the man," Dooling said. "He's back, that's all I can say. He's back."
After the Baylor game, Stewart said that White, who starred at Michigan as a freshman before transferring, sometimes just seems to lose interest. White got motivated when the player he was guarding, Cliff Owens, scored six points in a row at the end of an 11-2 Texas Tech run to tie it 45-45 with 16:50 to go.
Missouri regained control on successive dunks by Dooling and White and a reverse layup by White that made it 53-46 with 14:02 left. White got his 18 second-half points in 18 minutes for the Tigers, who later had a 12-0 run to put the game away.
"My man scored a couple times, so I wanted to slow that down and also bring something to the table for our offense," White said. "I wouldn't say I got mad, but I would say I got more aggressive."
Texas Tech coach James Dickey had been worried that White would get involved in the Missouri offense.
"I'm sure Norm put his arm around him and gave him a pretty nice pep talk at halftime," Dickey said. "Cliff got a little bit tired, and we took him out. Brodney (Kennard) came in and Albert just ate him alive. He just took over the ballgame."
Missouri shot 76.9 percent (20-for-26) in the second half to pull away. The Tigers had four dunks after the break, three by White and one by Dooling.
"That's great offense and pretty bad defense," Dickey said. "When you get dunks, that's a pretty high percentage shot."
Dooling added 21 points, five assists and seven rebounds as Missouri (16-4, 7-2 Big 12) won its fourth straight. Brian Grawer had four 3-pointers and 13 points.
Rayford Young scored 13 points and James Ware added 10 for Texas Tech (10-12, 2-7), which has lost five in a row and seven of eight since winning its conference opener against Baylor Jan. 2. Texas Tech has lost seven straight to ranked opponents.
Dooling had 13 points, five rebounds and a blocked shot, and Grawer had 10 points as Missouri took a 43-34 halftime lead. In the last four games, Dooling has 77 points, 16 assists and eight steals.
Grawer was 4-for-7 from 3-point range and is hitting at a 50 percent clip (23-for-46) in the last seven games.
Missouri was without forward Jeff Hafer, who bruised his left thigh in
practice on Monday.

LAS VEGAS - All is not fun and games for the sex toy industry these days. Like most businesses, adult novelty companies are caught in the throes of a bad economy.
Fortunately, adult toys and novelties are items that can never go digital. Sex toy vendors looking for how to take advantage of this fact gathered at the AEE seminar "Play Dates Aren't Just for Kids: Adult Toys, Novelties, and Home Parties."
AVN Novelty Business editor Tony Lovett hosted the panel, which included representatives from Spartacus Enterprises, Good Vibrations, Stockroom.com, Passion Parties International, and upstarts OhMiBod. Despite their good humor and overall optimism, the panelists did not hide their recession woes.
Joel Tucker, the founder and owner of Stockroom.com, regretfully noted that 2008 was the first year the 20-year old novelty giant had not experienced growth. "It was a lackluster year," he said, "but, thankfully, we did not lay people off."
Tucker's comment caused a grumble on the auditorium floor from the owners of much smaller businesses. Tucker further explained the effects of the recession on retailers by pointing out that consumers now had a "sense of entitlement." While they may only have three bucks to spend, they know there are thousands of retailers vying for those dollars.
Unfortunately, consumers aren't interested in purchasing discounted merchandise.
"People aren't switching to cheaper product. They're just not buying overall," said Patricia Davis of Passion Parties International.
Davis and her fellow panelists agreed that "added value" is key to making sales. "We give a free gift with every purchase—just like the cosmetic stores," Davis said.
Suki Dunham is the founder of OhMiBod, manufacturers of unique MP3 player-powered vibrators. Dunham spoke to the importance of thinking outside the box in terms of the production and marketing of sex toys. OhMiBod's BodiTalk Escort made Maxim Magazine's list of "Sexiest of Everything 2008" and was awarded Best for Phone Sex honors by Women's Health magazine.
Along with added-value incentives and stocking quality product, the group encouraged retailers to launch home party promotions to create a buzz for items and a sense of community amongst its customers.
"The current economy is keeping people at home," said Lovett. "And that's our turf."

If you want someone to come and visit you obviously issue an invitation. If that person is Pope Francis then a delegation goes to issue the invite personally.
Recently Mayor Nutter, PA Governor Tom Corbett and Archbishop Charles Chaput were among those who flew to Rome to meet with the Pontiff and Vatican officials. They wanted to offer gifts and invite him to the World Meeting of Families scheduled for September 2015 in the City of Brotherly Love.
This will be a huge event for the city. If Pope Francis who is extremely popular does agree to visit than the attendance is sure to skyrocket. The added visitors will generate huge tourism revenue for the city.
The World Meeting of Families was started by Blessed John Paul II in 1994. The idea is to strengthen the bonds of family all over the world. The belief is that family is the basis for a strong society and how to support those efforts. The last event was held in Milan, Italy and drew hundreds of thousands to the city and over one million to hear the Holy Father's Mass.
During the visit Mayor Nutter came with gifts. Nutter tweeted "An honor to give Pope Francis a Liberty Bell, SJP/Phillies/Eagles/Sixers/Flyers/Union jerseys, PHL pins and VisitPhila gift book from Phila!"
Along with that he brought the pope a jersey from St. Joseph's Prep with the back reading "Pope Francis" and the number "1".
Gov. Corbett and his wife also came with gifts. He brought a series of tiles representing the 4 books of the Gospels from Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. The tiles were from the Moravian Tile Works in Doylestown, Pennsylvania.
The pope hasn't officially agreed to attend but local officials are hoping their visit will convince him that his visit will give this event the attention it deserves.

Here, less than one kilometre from the icy shores of Hudson Bay, it is -35°C outside. But on this Friday evening
in late March, the intrepid visitors who venture out onto the rock-solid northern tundra will be rewarded. Far beyond
the Earth's atmosphere, a fresh batch of charged particles recently burst from the surface of the sun, nearing the end
of a 170,000-year journey that started at the sun's core. The mass of matter and energy has radiated nearly 150 million
kilometres through space on its way to triggering a light show over northern Canada. This evening's aurora borealis
above Churchill will be one to remember.
Twenty kilometres east of Churchill and on the edge of Wapusk National Park — Parks Canada's denning sanctuary
for nursing polar bears — the Churchill Northern Studies Centre has become a major stop in a growing aurora borealis
tourism trade in Canada, along with Whitehorse and Yellowknife, where northern lights tour vans have been traded in for
top-of-the-line buses.
Woloshyn has been coming to Churchill for more than 20 years to share the northern lights with eager "polar fleece stargazers."
By studying space weather predictions from days before, Woloshyn learned of the sun's latest coronal mass ejection (a burst
of solar wind and magnetic fields released into space), heading on a direct course for Earth. Tonight, he has studied satellitebased
imagery of the auroral oval, part of which has been hanging over Churchill since before dinner. After going outside to visually confirm what he's picked up
from the satellite photos, Woloshyn excitedly makes the rounds and prepares to take his group outside for what could
be the night of their lives.
For aurora tourists and space scientists alike, 2013 promises
to be a stellar year. Solar activity — flares, sunspots,
solar winds and other forms of radiation — is governed by
changes in the sun's magnetic field. These activities wax and
wane on a fairly predictable 11-year cycle known as the solar
maximum. The peak of this cycle hits this year (predicted
to be September 2013 or later), which is why skywatchers
and scientists are so excited. The solar maximum should
bring with it the brightest and most frequent auroral displays
for more than a decade. It will also give scientists the
chance to examine aspects of space weather at its most
violent and to measure its impact on the Earth infrastructure,
such as electrical grids and communications.
When the eruption's solar wind — plasma made up of
ionized (positively or negatively charged) hydrogen atoms
— hits the Earth, it's travelling at hundreds of kilometres
per second. Like iron filings being drawn to the poles of
a bar magnet, the solar wind swirls into our planet's magnetic
fields near the North Pole and South Pole, setting in
motion a sort of atmospheric dynamo. As these charged particles begin to move at hundreds of thousands of kilometres
per hour, like great atomic tornadoes, they spin
down along magnetic field lines into the Earth's ionosphere
(the region in which the International Space Station orbits).
Eventually, they near the speed of light and become unstable,
reacting directly with the planet's magnetic field.
At this point, the ionized atoms, up to now in an excited
state, return to a non-excited state, creating so much heat
in the process that they glow — green and sometimes red
for oxygen and blue or pink for nitrogen.
On a global scale, this glowing takes the form of the
auroral oval, a halo of light centred over the Earth's geomagnetic
poles. Earthbound observers watching this process
see only a portion of the whole auroral oval when they're
treated to the dancing curtains of light known as the aurora
borealis in the northern hemisphere and aurora australis
south of the equator.
As luck would have it, Canada is the geographical hub of
activity for auroral and space weather research. That's
because the Earth's geomagnetic North Pole is shifted
roughly 10 degrees down toward Hudson Bay from its
geographical North Pole. "It's not that we have just a slightly
better view," says University of Calgary space physicist Eric
Donovan. "You have this oval that cuts across southern
Greenland, Iceland and the very northern tip of Scandinavia, then skirts along the northern coast of Russia, comes down
across Siberia and Alaska and cuts right across Canada.
I would say 80 to 90 percent of the readily accessible land
under the auroral oval is in Canada. We have a geographical
situation where we can do things that others can't."
Beginning in the 1950s, Canadian researchers started to
study the northern lights from the inside out by firing specialized
"sounding rockets" into the aurora from Churchill and
other locations. Half a century later, as a result of several
generations of hard work and innovation, the Canadian
North is populated with dozens of networked sensors that can
capture data from below, confer with satellites high above and
assemble a big-picture view of nearly the entire auroral oval,
live, as it hangs over the northern hemisphere.
Since those early days of blasting rockets into the aurora,
Canadian scientists have refined techniques that make use of
radar, visual-light and multi-spectral cameras, Global
Positioning System devices, magnetometers and other sensors,
becoming world leaders in near-Earth space research. As the sun's once-a-decade peak season kicks into high gear, those
researchers will be ready with a network of space weather
monitors larger and more powerful than any brought to bear
during previous solar maximums.
For scientists such as Donovan, auroras are more than just
pretty night skies. "What first hooked me on this research was
the idea that I could use these visual images of the aurora to
do plasma and magnetospheric physics," he says. "I always
loved the aurora but never connected it with what I was
already researching. Then I looked at early images, where
I could see things that were clearly unexplained and were
related to the dynamics of the magnetospheric region of space
around the Earth. So I was just captivated by the beauty of it
and the possibility that I could link this beautiful thing to the
things I have been trying to study."
Donovan is the team leader and principal investigator
for more space weather observation projects than anyone
else in Canada. He oversees a growing network of nearly
60 instruments that study the aurora in northern Canada — the largest such effort on Earth. From his University of
Calgary lab, which is more of a repair shop for an endless
parade of different sensors and detectors, to his "lab" that
spans several million square kilometres of the Canadian
Arctic and subarctic, Donovan and team are ready to capitalize
on the storm season in space.
"We have buildings and sheds and huts and aluminum
tubing and cameras in places ranging from Happy Valley-
Goose Bay in Labrador, to Rankin Inlet in Nunavut, to
Inuvik, in the Northwest Territories," he says. The latest
addition is a $25 million installation curently being built
in Resolute Bay, Nunavut, known as the Resolute
Incoherent Scatter Radar-Canada (RISR-C). When completed,
RISR-C will be an arena-sized array of sensors used
for studying the properties of the Earth's upper atmosphere.
Donovan and his team also have colleagues running
cameras for them in the Faroe Islands, Iceland and other
locations, and are quickly forging new relationships from
Greenland to China.

If you're a Chicagoland Ford dealer, or if you're one of the 1,200 new workers expected to be hired at the Chicago Heights Ford assembly plant to build the redesigned Explorer later this year, you're feeling pretty good right now. Ford means quality, it means business, and it means job security. At least that's the growing perception as Toyota continues to struggle through its labyrinthine PR mess.
Now, to be fair, Toyota is in part a victim. All automakers have flaws in their products, and in almost all cases they know about them (and are generally tracking them). All automakers also "lobby" federal officials with regards to potential recalls, occasionally pleading their cases not to go through the expense and embarrassment of a safety recall. Toyota made some mistakes in this delicate dance, and the press got wind of it, reporters rushing into the feeding frenzy to enhance their own reputations. Congress soon realized how such a perfect distraction from their failures would benefit them, too, and they jumped in with both feet (with both of those feet in their mouths – quite a feat!).
But let's take a closer look at one of the real winners here, namely Ford. It isn't Ford's fault Toyota is suffering, though Ford's marketeers are certainly trying to take advantage of the situation to boost Ford's perceived brand strength. The interesting thing is that Ford has actually been close to Toyota in most quality metrics for quite some time now, and according to a study last year by RDA Group in Bloomfield Hills, MI, Ford was actually tops in quality, beating both Toyota and Honda. Most people didn't hear about that report (it wasn't the J.D. Power rankings, after all), but Toyota's miscues are causing more people to take notice and start recognizing the quality data.
In addition, Ford benefits from the powerful admiration of the American public for not accepting government bailout money. The image of a strong, determined American company lifting itself out of the recession by its own bootstraps fuels a nationalistic pride and opens broad avenues of opportunity to Ford in the U.S.
In the month of February, Ford's sales in the U.S. rose 43% year-over-year, headlining gains for pretty much everybody except Toyota, which saw a 9% decline. And Ford actually outsold GM in the U.S. for the first time since a GM strike in 1998.
So is Ford about to be crowned the new king of the automotive world? Well, let's not get too hasty. But it certainly fits into the category of crown prince now. Time will tell, and as Toyota has learned the hard way, being king doesn't just mean selling the most cars – it means consistently taking care of your customers.

Phase One of Amazon's Plan to Destroy Netflix Is Now Complete
Amazon is starting to offer unlimited video streaming.
Amazon's much-anticipated plan to offer video streaming of recent movies and TV shows is finally out. Right now, the service, which lets users watch 5,000 pieces of "prime eligible" content from their laptops or other devices, is open only to paying members of Amazon Prime, the company's fast-track shipping service. An annual premium subscription to Prime costs $79 a year. A year of Netflix's $7.99-a-month streaming-only plan costs consumers more than $95. Netflix still has the advantage of a bigger catalogue, estimated around 20,000 movies and TV shows, but 5,000 is just Amazon's initial offering. Netflix's early success with consumers has saddled the company with a big, fat bull's-eye on its back. Internet service providers are trying to charge higher fees to tax Netflix for sucking up their bandwidth. Cable companies and TV and movie networks are charging higher fees and levying longer wait times so that Netflix can't cut into the big advertising revenues that come with newer, prime programming. It remains to be seen whether they'll play nicer with a tech behemoth with a market cap of $83 billion. But for now, we're going to remain loyal to the company that makes it easier for us to find Robot Apocalypse Fantasies With a Strong Female Lead.

ESPN to pay NFL over $1 billion for television rights without Super Bowl
Street and Smith's Sports Business Daily is reporting that ESPN and the NFL "have agreed to broad terms on a new media rights deal that will be worth nearly $2 billion per year."
According to the report, the deal currently does not include the NFL playoffs or Super Bowl. And that thud you just heard is the sound of every NFLPA member hitting a wall.
Just a few days ago, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell sends an e-mail to NFL fans stroking the violin of sympathy about how hard the league is working to avoid a 2011 NFL lockout. Now, we're talking about a $2 billion television deal? Keep in mind, this is just one contract and this one doesn't even include the Super Bowl, which is a multi-million grossing event all by itself.
According to the article, "Even before this negotiation, ESPN was paying the league much more than any of the NFL's other TV partners. ESPN's annual payout of $1.1 billion dwarfs the annual rights fees paid by Fox ($720 million), CBS ($620 million) and NBC ($603 million). DirecTV pays about $1 billion a year for exclusive access to Sunday Ticket."
And here's another interesting fact. Last May, Anheuser-Busch CEO Dave Peacock said the brewer of Budweiser signed a deal worth $1.2 billion to be the league's sole beer sponsor thus kicking Coors Light out of the picture. However, it should be known that beer companies can still negotiate individual contracts per market, hence Miller Lite is the official beer of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Dallas Cowboys.
"Economic conditions, however, have changed dramatically inside and outside the NFL since 2006 when we negotiated the last CBA. A 10 percent unemployment rate hurts us all. Fans have limited budgets and rightly want the most for their money. I get it," Goodell said in his earlier e-mail. "Yes, NFL players deserve to be paid well. Unfortunately, economic realities are forcing everyone to make tough choices and the NFL is no different."
Yeah, the NFL is facing tough times alright. So those whiny NFL players should stop complaining about health care and salaries. Take your paycut, play more games and shut-up.

Imagine what it would be like if you could control people's minds
– and had the power to motivate, influence and persuade
them to agree to practically anything you propose … what would that be
worth to you? What Is Mind Control – And Is It Ethical?
What Is Mind Control – And Is It Ethical?
When you use psychological devices like the one
used in the above example, you glide ever so smoothly over people's
natural predispositions that it's practically effortless for you to
generate sales. This spells the greatest difference between the
ethical form of mind control used in marketing, versus its evil
stepbrother – the kind involving covert behavior modification
techniques. Here's the amazing part:
Here's the amazing part:You can initiate your prospect's buying sequence at the snap of your fingers when you know the secret codes known as "triggers." These triggers activate a human predisposition that causes the prospect to buy without any resistance.
How Triggers Were Discovered
Sugarman, the best-selling author and top copywriter who achieved
legendary fame in direct marketing, ran a highly successful mail-order
company in the 1980s, JS&A (the forerunner of The Sharper
Image). Joe learned on a mass scale which ad approaches
worked, and which ones didn't. He studied the ads that achieved a
high degree of success, and discovered that they were clearly successful
because of certain underlying psychological triggers. He
identified 30 of these triggers that activate psychological forces buried
deep within the subconscious brain, and cause people to
buy. Cracking the Psychological Code That Reveals Untold
Cracking the Psychological Code That Reveals Untold SecretsJust as the human genome cracked the genetic code that reveals untold secrets of the human body, Joe Sugarman's Triggers cracked the psychological code that activates a person's buying sequence. This is the secret code that has eluded the sales industry for years.
Joe Sugarman first discovered the power of
psychological triggers years ago when he applied just one trigger
on an ad, and it immediately doubled the response to that
Here's what people are saying about Joe Sugarman's breakthrough ebook:
You don't need a secret service
agent to tell you that secret knowledge equals power. Joe
Sugarman's Triggers contains secret knowledge you absolutely can't be
without because it can make you irresistibly powerful in business,
as well as in your personal life.
I'm going to give you a little caveat right
here – so listen closely. When you start selling with the use
of triggers, your sales results will be so amazing that you won't
want to sell any other way. Selling has never been easier, that
you won't want to go back to your old way of selling. Here's the good news:
Here's the good news:Now that you realize that applying powerful psychological triggers today will turbo-charge your business to incalculable heights, you'll be surprised to learn that you can have Triggers for a very small investment of $47. Immediately after your order, you will receive download and unlock information that will allow you to read Joe Sugarman's Triggers online. You can apply one or more of the psychological triggers to your sales and marketing activities today, and literally generate sales before the day is over. Click here now.
Best Regards,
P.S. Frankly, I know nothing that could truly
make a significant difference in your net worth like the infusion
of Joe Sugarman's Triggers into your current marketing and sales
activities. Oh, and did I tell you that the ebook is remarkably
entertaining? Joe Girard, "the world's greatest retail
salesman," has this to say:

Aloha from the Lee household where we think we're being introduced to a family member, who just finished a lap around the pool, smoked a cigar and grilled his meal butactually he's the pool guy taking advantage of the Lee family's absence. Pool boy, Nikko, gets a call to take care of another job and let's just say he won't be sitting in anyone else's lap of luxury ever again. Nikko becomes Five-0's next homicide case.
The interesting thing about the house where Nikko's body was found is its kitchen. Hanging over the kitchen island are at least a hundred palm tree air fresheners. What odor is this owner trying to mask? A cop on the scene, who has a serious crush on Kono and himself, leads her and Steve to a bag of trash with evidence pointing to the house being used to cook meth. Hence, the need for all those car fresheners. Old Nikko walked in on a crime in progress and paid the ultimate price.
Steve locates the only other person besides Nikko who had a key to the Cameron's house, Dawn Hatfield, a family friend. Dawn may have forgotten to set the house alarm thus supplying some meth entrepreneur with access to a kitchen to cook his product.
We finally see Danny who is busy with therapy these days after having a small hole carved in his tummy in the last episode. He and Steve exchange their usual pleasantries and it's he off he goes.
Fingerprints may have been wiped cleaned at the Cameron house, but a chemistry major has been logging onto their computer. Five-0 tracks down said college student, Joseph Sun, but he would rather die than talk and so he does by leaping from the roof of a building. Odd, there is no evidence on Joseph's personal computer that he's into cooking meth. However, there is worse evidence indicating Joseph may have been building a bomb instead and Steve has a sick feeling there is an explosive device out there somewhere. We learn that young Joseph had ties to a terrorist cell and even traveled to Yemen recently.
Five-0 connects Joseph to another American student, Brian Miller and Brian is armed and ready for them. There is, of course, a shoot-out. Brian lost, but wait! There is someone else in the house and that person is upstairs shooting back. Why, it's none other than Dawn Hatfield, the family friend. She's not wearing that same pleasant surfer girl smile when we last saw her. This time her facial expression is quite rabid. Later, we see her in the interrogation room at Five-0 headquarters. She seems calmer, almost sedated, slightly crazed even.
This chick may have multiple personalities. No matter. Five-0 discovers the trio was planning on attacking the military base, but they still need to know who was backing and influencing the college students. All Dawn offers up is her belief that Allah is her peeps and Steve has the difficult task of getting through to the young woman who has obviously been brainwashed.
Five-0 eventually finds the terrorist recruiters who got to the students. The two men gained access into the country by posing as refugees. One of them, of all things, lives the quiet life of a soccer dad.
Steve shows Dawn a photo of the two captured men. Not surprising, cray-cray girl is not
phased by it but does tell Steve there are many more out there just like her. Steve replies with there are thousands out there just like him so there! Take that!
Steve and Danny visit a therapy facility for wounded veterans who've lost their limbs fighting for our country. They are there specifically for marine vet Kurt Emerson to inform him that the two Afghan nationalists who are responsible for his wounds and for the deaths of his buddies have been caught.
Five-0 cap off the evening with an outdoor luau, feasting on the giant fish that Lou caught earlier. Kono invited her crush and made it clear again that they are only friends. This is not a date. The desperately-seeking-Susan- or-anybody for a date said he understood but still wants to meet a woman who looks like Kono.

Brutus the crocodile knows how to throw down. If there was ever any doubt of a croc's water superiority, it was put to rest after tourists on a cruise saw a rare brawl between a crocodile and a shark. The epic clash was caught in a series of stunning pics, as seen in the video above.
Writes the AFP via Yahoo! News on Wednesday: "Tourists in northern Australia have been left stunned by two fierce animals going head-to-head – a massive saltwater crocodile wrestling with a bull shark in its jaws. Andrew Paice was on an hour-long wildlife cruise on the Adelaide River with his partner and seven-year-old daughter on Tuesday when they spotted something unusual on the riverbank."
Brutus, a well-know monster croc from Australia's Northern Territory, sank his teeth into the shark's midsection before swimming off into the mangroves to eat it's bounty in peace.
Incredibly, Brutus, who is over five meters long and around 80-years-old, has only three legs. It's thought that Brutus lost his front leg in a similar fight with a shark. Nothing like a ticked-off croc looking to take a vengeful bite out of something.
Paice, who was on the river cruise with his girlfriend Nikki and seven-year-old daughter Madison, said their tour guide knew Brutus well and had him leaping out of the water at chunks of meat that were baited for the giant croc.
"The tour guide had Brutus jumping at some meat the first time we went past him. Brutus is quite well known up here… he jumps really high for an old crocodile," Paice said. "We were near the end of the tour and we'd fed all of the crocodiles along the river. We were on our way back to the jetty when we saw (the crocodile) had something in his mouth."
The tour guide stopped the boat for the show.
"The shark was definitely alive... it was still wriggling," Paice said. "The crocodile slid back into the water and the shark started to flip around a bit. Then the crocodile swam into the mangroves, I guess to protect his catch."
Paice, whose stunning photos are now being seen by tens of thousands, said he "never even thought about a crocodile catching a shark before. It was absolutely amazing to see. Everyone was astonished. I was amazed I even caught it on camera."
Paice, a Sydney resident, is on a year-long trip with his girlfriend and daughter. Four months in, he said this was the best thing they have seen so far. Paice said his daughter was "awestruck," as were the rest of the tour group.
"There's some amazing sites to see up here. To see the jumping crocodiles was pretty amazing but then to see this... I think it will be pretty hard to top," he said.
We'd have to agree.

The leader of the group says he called the Coast Guard after being disoriented in the fog and didn't hear officials responding to him.The man made the call and gave his location in Blue Hill Bay about 8 o'clock last night, but didn't name his boat or say why he was calling. A rescue effort was launched immediately out of Southwest Harbor.This morning the Coast Guard found a group of 25 school members and their canoes.The group leader says they made it to Long Island shortly after the call.They camped there for the night, just as they had planned.

Click here to watch "American Idol" interview Shelby Searcy
MEDINA — A Medina Bee has the chance to become a superstar.
Shelby Searcy, a senior at Medina High School, is headed to Hollywood for the hit reality show "American Idol" in the hope of winning the nationwide singing contest.
The winner of "American Idol" is chosen by viewers, who vote by telephone, Internet and text message. The champion receives a record deal with a major label, and the Top 10 finishers secure a touring contract.
To make it this far, Searcy had to advance through three stages of competition in July in Chicago.
In the final cut, she won a golden ticket from the four judges: music producer Randy Jackson, R&B singer Mariah Carey, hip-hop artist Nicki Minaj and country-western singer Keith Urban.
The ticket reserves her space in the next stage of the contest, which will determine the Top 24 to 36 emerging stars in the country.
Searcy had to keep her ticket to Hollywood a secret until the winners were announced on television last week.
If Searcy makes it past the Hollywood stage and the following Las Vegas stage, she'll be a semifinalist. At that point, her fate will be in the hands of viewers.
The show keeps its contestants from talking with the media under later stages, but Searcy can be seen in an interview with "American Idol" on YouTube.
In the interview, Searcy tells the show how excited she was to receive a golden ticket.
"I couldn't even believe it," she said. "I was speechless."
She said one of her favorite moments while singing was when she was in the fifth grade. A woman heard her sing "Walking on Sunshine" and said the song gave her goosebumps and made her cry.
Searcy described her singing voice as "smooth," "jazzy" and "soft."
She said she is confident she could win the big prize.
"I think I'm the next 'American Idol' because I have a good voice, a good personality and I think I can get the votes," Searcy said. "I have so much support, and I really just want to inspire everybody, and I think if I get voted for, I can do that."
"American Idol" returns 8 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday on WJW-Fox 8.

June 30, 1998
LOS ANGELES -- Winning hand in hand.
Building on the foundation put in place by some of the greatest teams in collegiate volleyball history, the 1998 UCLA women's volleyball squad looks to continue the Bruin tradition of "winning hand in hand" in its quest for a run at a record seventh national title. A balanced combination of highly touted recruits united with a crop of talented veterans, positions UCLA as one of the year's elite volleyball programs yet again.
The unifying factor throughout the history of UCLA volleyball is Hall of Fame head coach Andy Banachowski. Entering his 32nd year as the Bruins' mentor, Banachowski has amassed more wins than any collegiate women's coach and owns a career record of 829-188. He has guided UCLA to six national titles, nine conference championships and a remarkable 29 post-season appearances. Under his charge, 17 different players have earned collegiate All-America status, winning the award an astonishing 29 times. Perhaps even more impressive are the volleyball careers which continue to flourish after their time at UCLA. Former Bruins dominate the professional beach scene and are prominent in USVBA competition, on the National Team and in the coaching ranks.
In its quest to maintain the tradition of success and in the process soften the departure of three very talented seniors from last year's squad, the UCLA coaching staff has gathered yet another edition of one of the nation's top recruiting classes. Entering UCLA in the fall of 1998 are four Volleyball Fab 50 selections in Ashley Bowles, Angela Eckmier, Kristee Porter and Erika Selsor. Lost to graduation are setter Kim Coleman and outside hitters Tanisha Larkin and Kara Milling.
Although these three have completed their collegiate playing career's they have passed on the UCLA traditions they inherited, added lasting impressions of their own and will forever be Bruins. A 1997 All-American, Milling used last season to etch her name into the UCLA record books in several offensive categories. Her 623 kills was the third-highest UCLA single-season total ever as she also moved into second place in single-season total attacks with 1,343. Along with leading the Bruins in kills, total attacks and service aces, she also became only the seventh player in school history to record 30-plus kills in a single match when she drilled 34 in a win over Cal Oct. 3. Her exceptional 1997 season earned her an invitation back to Colorado, where she is currently training with the U.S. National Team. Coleman, a 1997 All-District and Pac-10 Honorable Mention Selection, ranks third all time at UCLA in career assists with 3,400. She established herself as one of the best setters in the country last season and led the nation in assist average. In addition, her 1,646 assists place her third all-time at UCLA on the single-season chart. Finally, in Larkin, the Bruins lose one of its most explosive players ever. Second on the team in kills last season with 378, Larkin's leaping ability gave the Bruins a powerful outside hitting threat. She was rewarded for a solid '97 season by earning Pac-10 Honorable Mention accolades.
A key to the Bruins' success this season, middle blocking is UCLA's strongest and deepest area. The Bruins receive an added boost with the return of Elisabeth Bachman (Lakeville, MN), who sat out the entire 1997 season recovering from a wrist injury suffered at last summer's World University Games. The team leader in blocks with 132, including 18 solo, as a true freshman in 1996, Bachman will anchor UCLA's middle attack as one of the nation's premier players at this position. She will gain added experience this summer after again training with the National Team. Assisting Bachman at the net will be two talented returnees in Tamika Johnson (Indianapolis, IN) and Amy Nihipali (Anaheim, CA). UCLA's leader in solo blocks last season with 33, Johnson could see time at middle blocker or opposite hitter, as one of the most versatile and powerful athletes on the squad. Nihipali, who became the second freshman in as many years to lead the team in blocking, registered a team-high 139 (20 solo) last season and enters '98 as one of the nation's most experienced true sophomores in this category. Joining forces with this experienced trio will be freshman Angela Eckmier (North Hills, CA), a two-time Los Angeles Times All-Region selection and Volleyball Fab 50 honoree who could step in and make an immediate impact. "Technically, she may be the best blocker we have," says Banachowski. "Her blocking is intense, she has strong desire to make the play and prides herself on blocking the ball." Another freshman, Danielle Ryba (Palos Verdes Estates, CA), will add even more depth to a very solid area in the lineup.
The hitting positions sustained considerable losses from last year's 17-13 overall squad following the graduation of All-American Milling and All-Pac-10 honoree Larkin. Fortunately, with a group of talented returnees and a fresh group of highly rated newcomers, coach Banachowski won't have to look far for reliable replacements. Leading the way in '98 will be returnees Chaska Potter (Santa Cruz, CA), Jennifer Wittenburg (Houston, TX) and Celeste Peterson (Boca Raton, FL). All three possess different styles which should pose problems for opponents when trying to stop the Bruins' offensive attack. Potter has one of the most complete and well-rounded games on the team and is looking to get back to the form she had in 1995 when she earned Pac-10 All-Freshmen honors. Playing only 30 games during 12 matches last season, due to a nagging injury, she recorded solid outings against Cal and UCSB early on and saw action in both of UCLA's tournament matches. With Wittenburg, the Bruins add another dimension to the outside hitting game in terms of power. At 6-2, her ability to overpower would be blockers at the net should pay dividends. She was a member of UCLA's top-ranked recruiting class in '96 and is eager to comeback after redshirting last season. Returning starter Peterson, a Pac-10 All-Freshman Honorable Mention selection last year, will have to fight to remain in the starting lineup as she underwent knee surgery in the spring and will need additional time to regain her form. With an all around complete game, Banachowski says "if she is healthy, she's got the potential to be outstanding."
Two newcomers that could see significant playing time outside, are Ashley Bowles (Manhattan Beach, CA) and Kristee Porter (Tyler, TX). Bowles, listed as among the top recruits in the nation by several publications, has been referred to by Banachowski as, "the most complete player in this year's class, with outstanding skills." Considered one of the top athletes in the nation, Porter will be a dual-sport athlete for UCLA, playing volleyball in the fall and competing in track & field in the spring. "Kristee is the most exciting of our new recruits and has tremendous leaping ability," says Banachowski. Three others with the potential to contribute as hitters are returnee Suzy Morris (Sacramento, CA) and newcomers Taylor Rodger (San Diego, CA) and Lauren Hogan (Long Beach, CA). In an effort to keep the three talented middle blockers on the court, Johnson could also be utilized at the opposite slot, should Banachowski need added help at this position.
The Bruins enter '98 with a new set of hands running the offense from the setter position due to the graduation of two-year starter Coleman. Leading the list of candidates is freshman Erika Selsor (Linden, CA). A high school All-American regarded by many as the top setter in the country last year, Selsor is projected to be the opening day starter when the Bruins take the court against Hawai'i in early September. Posing a contrast in style from the 6-foot-1 Coleman, Selsor, at 5-foot-6, breaks the trend of tall Bruin setters dating back to the days when All-American Holly McPeak led the team in 1990. However, as was the case with McPeak, what is lacking in height is compensated for through experience, as Selsor is the most seasoned of the rookie class and has already led her high school team to two state championships and seen significant Junior Olympic competition. "We are expecting her to lead the team and step into the starting role," says Banachowski. "She has great experience and is a great competitor."
Though she will see most of her time at the outside hitter position, Bowles' all-around game makes her the No. 2 setter behind Selsor. In high school, Bowles saw action at every position and is one of the most versatile newcomers on the team. Behind Bowles will be newcomer Kate Dwyer (Laguna Beach, CA). Also adding depth in the setter slot is Jackie Levin (Novato, CA), who joined the squad for spring workouts.
A change in the way that substitutions will be counted this season will enhance Banachowski's opportunities to make use of defensive specialists. Though only a sophomore, UCLA returns one of the best defensive specialists in the country in Michelle Quon (Dana Point, CA). A key element in the Bruins' transition game, Quon's speed and quickness enable her to make the spectacular play, and get to the hard to reach balls. She was rewarded for her outstanding defensive skills last season by being named Pac-10 All-Freshman Honorable Mention. Lending a hand to Quon with backcourt duties and providing a spark from the bench will be returnee Mandi Lawson (Manhattan Beach, CA) who saw action in 41 games last season and will be counted on heavily for her defensive skills. Newcomers Rodger and Levin, could also contribute in this area with either passing or defense.
With 12 of this season's opponents ranked in the final 1997 USA Today / AVCA top 25, UCLA's 1998 campaign is arguably one of the toughest and most rigorous schedules in collegiate volleyball. In an effort to get most of the traveling out of the way prior to the start of school on Oct. 1, coach Andy Banachowski has scheduled a very challenging early season schedule. In fact, the Bruins start out with eight straight matches on the road and don't return to Pauley Pavilion until a match with Oregon on Sept. 25. UCLA begins action in early September with its annual trip to Hawaii for the Rainbow Wahine Volleyball Classic. The Bruins open the tournament with No. 25 Hawaii, then take on 1997 Final Four participant Florida, before rounding out the tournament with No. 15 Ohio State. Following its match with the Buckeyes, UCLA heads to Illinois for the 1998 Chicago Challenge. There, the Bruins face 1997 NCAA finalist Penn State and will take on either No. 10 Texas or Illinois. The Bruins begin Pac-10 play on Sept. 18 in the Bay Area with Cal and 1998 NCAA Champion Stanford. Getting most of its non-conference competition out of the way early, UCLA has only two non-league games throughout the regular season as it hosts No. 6 UC Santa Barbara midway through the year and No. 25 Pepperdine in its final regular season match.
"This is a heavy schedule," remarked Banachowski. "We have always scheduled tough competition to make us better and this year's slate is indicative of that. Our later start academically allows us to play on the road alot early on because we are not in class yet. This gives us the opportunity to find out about ourselves early in the season."

Having an iron deficiency is a very serious problem that can have very dangerous consequences if left untreated. In fact it can cause many problems such as anemia, hair loss and depression, these are fairly common but what most people don't know is that it also causes panic attacks. Panic attacks are triggered by a stressful situation and this is what most people think, but in fact you are more likely to suffer a panic attack if you have certain kinds of deficiencies.
If you are person that has a lot of stress in their life and you have panic attacks on a fairly regular basis then you might think that you need to lower the stress in your life, and while this might be the case it might not be your only problem. Having panic attacks fairly regularly is a sign that you might have an iron deficiency. If you have low iron levels you are much more likely to have the problem of panic attacks. The reason is not that low iron levels cause panic attacks but make it more likely that you will have an attack in a stressful situation. If you think that you are having these attacks at times when you might not normally have an attack then you might need to look into some things.
If you think that you have an iron deficiency then you need to find out if you do have low iron levels by going to your doctor. Your doctor can run some tests to see if you have low levels of anything including iron. If you do have a problem with your iron then you need to talk with your doctor about what the options are to get the levels back up to normal. You doctor might say that you should take some nutrients supplements to get the levels back up to normal or they might recommend that you simply make sure that you eat more foods that have iron in them.
Once you are successful in increasing the iron in your body then hopefully you will be able to notice that your anxiety is getting better. You should notice that over time you are going to be able to handle stressful situations better and you won't always feel like you need to panic with any situation. Just keep in mind that you won't fix the problem overnight, it might take a little bit of time, it will be a slow process and it will take some time to make sure that you get back to normal completely. Who would have thought that simply increasing your iron intake could have such an effect on your mental help?

Little Tiger First Birthday (47 photos)
Sign In or Register Now
This adorable Little Tiger First Birthday was styled by Dona Beglarian of Celebrating Life By Dona.
It was all about the kids. From the crafting table where the kids got to sit down and personalize binoculars, to the masks and personal place settings, all the children had a blast embarking on our little Jungle Tour. This traditional "boy" theme was perfected to a more feminine taste, with the bright bold color schemes, fun zebra and cheetah prints and to die for organic jungle florals.
The main cake and sweets tablescape had a little something for everyone's taste-buds, from sweet desserts, macarons, cupcakes, candies, cookies and marshmallows. A beautiful themed tiered safari cake donned the center of the scape, atop a custom cake stand, anchored by a smaller version which served as a smash cake for baby Mila to go to town.
The food and drinks stations also carried over the theme, with large jungle centerpieces and safari trees everywhere, and cute themed-drinks for adults & kiddos alike.
A final touch was the darling little photo booth and custom photo props for parents and kids to enjoy and keep busy with DIY photos.

Some speculation as to just how much damage was done by frost in the upper Midwest on Thursday morning. It looks like it was cold enough to end the growing season from the eastern Dakotas through northern Iowa, Minnesota and western Wisconsin. Mason City, Iowa had 27, Worthington and Marshall, Minnesota had 28, Bismarck and Jamestown, North Dakota and Eau Claire, Wisconsin all recorded 29 degrees.
The next question, did it do much crop damage given the advanced maturity of crops in the area? Obviously the markets didn't think so as prices for corn and soybeans plunged on the Chicago Board of Trade Thursday and slipped further on Friday.

This was not the way Medina County Clerk of Courts David Wadsworth wanted to begin his re-election campaign.
On Wednesday, Wadsworth's opponent Maryann Chandler criticized a letter sent last year to all clerk of courts employees warning that they could lose their jobs if Wadsworth loses his in November.
Asked to respond, Wadsworth apologized and called the issue a distraction.
"The moment I heard about it, I went to every employee and apologized," Wadsworth said.
The letter, dated June 17, 2011, and signed by Wadsworth campaign volunteer Joseph Salzgeber, was sent to the clerk of courts employees at their home addresses.
"If another Clerk from a different political party should be elected in 2012, he or she might 'clean house' like each of the Medina County Prosecutors did following the 1980, 1984 and 1988 elections," the letter read.
The letter also urged the employees to help out with parades and other campaign activities.
Though the letter doesn't appear to break any election laws, Wadsworth said he still felt the need to apologize on behalf of Salzgeber.
"This wasn't his intent, he feels terrible about it," Wadsworth said. "He stepped over the line in my book, and it was embarrassing to my employees."
Wadsworth, who was appointed to his office in January 2011 by the Medina Republican Party, said he was disappointed his campaign wrote the letter and found out about it only after returning from a vacation.
He said he employs Republicans and Democrats in the office and treats all staff fairly.
Wadsworth said the fact that Chandler is crying foul now is a distraction from the real issues.
"If you don't have experience to do this job, you have to tear down your opponent in some way," he said.
Chandler said she is raising the letter as an issue now because of persistent rumors that she intended to gut the staff, if elected.
"Although the letter was from last year, the rumors have been allowed to persist to this day, specifically about me," she said.
Chandler said the employees don't have to worry about their jobs.
"I have no intention to replace any employees in that office other than the clerk himself," she said.
Chandler, a local attorney, said she and her legal staff are regularly in the clerk of courts office on official business, and she doesn't want her relationship with the employees there to be damaged.
"I want people focusing on who has the right experience to manage this office in a professional manner," she said. "It doesn't help to have clerks who are scared or afraid when I go in to conduct my business."
Chandler said she felt Wadsworth's comments about the apology to his staff were insincere. She said he should be held responsible for anything his campaign sends out.
"Nothing should go out from your campaign without looking at it first," she said.
Wadsworth said he's taken steps to ensure nothing similar ever happens again.
"That was a campaign mistake early on and I've corrected it," he said. "I did what I could to make amends with my employees. There's only so much you can do when something is done like this."
Wadsworth said Salzgeber remains on his campaign staff. While he disagreed with sending the letter, he said it contained no false statements.
Wadsworth said a new clerk could legally replace the entire staff because their jobs are not protected by civil service.
"When offices change hands like that it's a fact," he said. "But it didn't need to be said."

PRESS RELEASE: Direct from Baptist Easley Hospital
Easley, SC – George A. Helmrich, MD, joined Baptist Easley Hospital on October 1 as Chief Medical Officer. Most recently, Helmrich served as Medical Director at Greer Memorial Hospital and Vice Chair of Quality and Inpatient Operations for the OB-GYN department of Greenville Hospital System University Medical Group.
He also served as Interim Director, Management Engineering, for Greenville Hospital System. He is certified by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology and speaks and presents nationally. He is published and involved in outcomes research.
Helmrich is a graduate of Clemson University with a bachelor's of science degree in Mechanical Engineering and a master's of science degree in Bioengineering. He earned his medical degree at the University of South Carolina School of Medicine and completed his residency at Carolinas Medical Center. He also trained in Cardiology at Guys Hospital, London, England.
Additionally, Helmrich is Black Belt-trained in Lean Six Sigma and is a Master Change Agent. He is a Certified Clinical Densitometrist and a Credentialed Menopausal Practitioner.
