Dealing With the Physical and
Mental Salvation of Man.
Unscrupulous Charlatans Who Sue-
ceed In Deceiving; People.
A Brlalit Young Man ot Hood Family
Car Ohio In Alcohollam Treated
to the Muat Approved
Fake Style.
Whan the genial counterfeiter gets
down to work, the more valuable the
article he counterfeits the greater the re-
ward of hia rascality—the more his
heart awella within him. Tbe aubtle
fakir, whether he fakea on the street
corner with braaa jewelry or painless
tooth extractor, enjoys life because he is
a natural oorn scamp, and rejoices in
deceiving and injuring hia fellow man.
It ia a aouree of great comfort to hira
when he can pass v bogus double eagle,
but the summit of eupreme joy ia
reached when he can tamper with and
destroy the health and life ol a human
being. 1
Tbe Keeley discovery deals with the
phvaical and mental salvation of men,
with tti* happiness of women and chil
dren. It ia the mission of the Keeley
league, working hand injiand with the
Keeley institute, to rescue men from
ternjKiral and eternal ruin, to send j >y
and gladness into homes utterly wrecked
and desolate through the ravages of
rum and the horrors of the opium habit.
It does ils work with the sanction and
approval ol the best men and women in
the laud; the government gives its offi
cial endorsement through a body of
which the oreaideot is the chairman.
The league points to its hundred thou
sand men saved from worse than physi
cal death. The fakir knows this and
et.ili goes on with his devilish work, not
only with heartless greed, but rejoicing
in the harm he does. He ia blighting
tho hopes of thousands of men and
womeh. He iB destroying the confi
dence in tbe Guly cure that God has
given to men against the (earful disease
oi nlcoholism. Throughout the length
and breadth of the land he is tilling the
bodies of men and women with power
ful poisene, and when they leave bia
dena ol quackery, the majority of tbem
are oeyond all hope of cure.
The eoae with which theae tinecrupn
lor.ii chariatane and rogues sueceeed in
deceiving numbers of peoDlo would be
laughable were it not so terrible in its
remits. Ulcerated and swollen limbs,
weakened and impaired organs aie bad
enough, but when a man finds himeelf
driven back to drink, a horrible thirst
racing within him. and realizes that his
case has been made such, through tbe
fakirs' drugs, that even the Keeley
treatment i", powerless to reach it, he ia
an earthly hell indeed.
An individual withont tbe fear of God
or man before hie eyea, baiting from
somewhere beyond the Sierra Nevadas,
came through the state of California a
while ago selling a receipt for curing
drunkards. Certain, heretofore, well
meaning men, deceived by his smooth
representation!;—lying etateniente of
good accomplished elsewhere—allured
by golden promisee held before their
eyes, invested money in tbe bogus cure.
They started in buainesa,having eecured
the services of a physician who bad up
to that date borne a good name. They
pat their price of treat mod t at what
eeerned to be a low figure, guaranteed
cures on the quack system, and took
mortgagee on poor men's teams, cows
and other belongiuga, in fact anything
they could get hold of. The poor dupes
to the number of 30 odd Hocked in for
treatment, and they received it after
a fashion. Thia amateur fake doctor
had hie private practice to attend to,
and found it difficult to be in hie office
at regular hears, four timea a day, in
order to imitate tbe Keeley system.
But ho wsb equal to tbe occasion. He
he 1 in hia office a young fellow who
knew as much about medicine aa a
monkey about the Lick telescope, ao he
pm h!m to handling the evringe and
prescribing (or the victims. Ithappened
tbat come of the Buffering wretches hod
bnaineaa to attend to and could net
come out at tho proscribed hou'e to the
so-called institute, ao ont went the
ay unite monkey with the little syringe
and bottle aud performed ou the inebri
ates wherever he found them—whether
behind bars or iv back otli.-es. In the
mean time the patients were to have
Whisky galore—and they had it of vari
oua kinds at:d atreugths, in various
pluces. Thin went on from day to day,
resulting ill tho Boboriug up of a few,
ah of whom except three or four have
gone back to their cups. Some, how
f per, broke away from the treatment in
diego**, demanding back their money
where they had paid any.
fhe mo>t pitiable thing, however,
connected with tho whole business was
a scene witnessed on a passenger train
on lbs) southern Pacific railroad. A
young man of good family connections,
far gone iv alcoholism, had boen in
duced to put himself under this bogus
treatment. He had been for eoiae time
undergoing the miaerahle procesp, When
he took a notion to make a journey, lie
waa found on the train provided with a
syringe, a bottle of tonic and two
bottles of whisky. Hi waa treat
ing himself according to the most
appro .'cd fake style. The two bot
tles of whisky he emptied in
short order and replenished them
at the buffet car, while the aston
ished porter looked on with dilated eyes.
The hifct thiug reported about this poor
fellow waa that he had fallen into tbe
banda of aome hoodlums in a neighbor
ing city and had been beaten witbin an
inch of hia life. What became of tbe
ayringo and bottle of toniois not stated.
The wretched Bide of thin whole mat
tor i» that in tho community where thia
ecandaloue perform*r.co haa been going
on nil faith in any cure whatever haa
beeu destroyed, and all hope of deliver
ance from the run and morphine curses
utterly blighted.
If there is no human law to punish
each wreiches, in time the divine law
will certainly wreak vengeance on tbe
eyil doers in eternity.

the aabject of hostelriee is mentioned,
and the tourist finds pure and ample
originality in all ho aeee in the Nadeau,
a hotel which cannot be compared for
uniqueness and excellence anywhere
else on the Pacific toast. The Nadeau

enlarged hy an addition of 50 rooms,
which have been famished in new and

pinvornenta are anticipated, with the
addition of a spacious reading and wait

The large and epacioua parlora have
all been newly decorated and furniehed,
the total coat of improvements being
over 120,000. One of the most attractive
featores of the hotel ia its wide and
roomy halls, which throughout the en
tire house are lighted from the roof,
giving the hotel a very cheerful appear

cover theee halls, which givea ohly a

An Old and Sellable Employment
The question of labor and the unem

interests the public in a high degree.
Every man who chooses to labor can
find employment if he asks for it. It
cannot be expected that the person in
search of a man to work can find eucb a
man as he wants by walking the streets.
Hia first impulse ia to go to an employ
ment depot where be can be eupplied.
Thia ia why an employment agency like

Tbe Baker Iron works and the city of
Los Angeles have grown together from
theiryouth up. Their interests in many
directions are one and the came. So
much so that to sever them would work
an injury to both.
When the city was email and the de
mands for iron work waa limited the
capacity of tne works waa also limited.
But aa the city grew and put on city aire
so did the iron works, hy incorporating
and building new r.nd larger works.
Tbey have kept pace with the growth
of tho city and country by continually
adding new machinery and tools, en
abling tbem to work a larger force of
men, and yet tbe numerous large con
tracts that have gone through their
worke the pact season has ehown that
tbey were quite too email. Some of
tbeae contracts were for large water
worka plants, alao for large irrigating
and mining enterprises and for public
water worka. Alao a large quantity of
elevators and other machinery for thia
and other cities.
Tbe long experience this company
haa had enables tbem to anticipate and
meet the wants of the entire country in
all kinds of machinery, always having
in view their customers' best interest as
well as their own and thus, guarding the
interests o! both, they have acquired the
success that always attends a well con
ducted business. This company ia too
well known to need any praise from us
more than a statement oi tbe above facta.
Their pay roll runs np aa high aa 150
men, which proves tbe above statement
that theirs and' tbe city's interests are
one and the same. Their worka are
situated on Buena Vista street from 950

the Keeley treatment for inebriates, etc.,
it givea me pleasure to state that I am
familiar, both through my own observa
tion and through a knowledge obtained
through other reliable sources, with the
results achieved by Dr. Keeley and bis
associates, and am satisfied that the
olainiß made by tbem are correct, viz:
That the diseases consequent upon the
excessive use of alcohol and opium are
treated and cured by the nse of a spe
cific, which relieves the victim of all ap
petite, desire or need of narcotic or al
coholic stimulants.
"The work has my hearty commenda
tion, as I believe it is doing a great
good. Yourß truly,

Los Angelee is vice president.
In November, 3890, thi Union Oil
company cucceeded to tbe and
properties of the Hardisoc <fc Stewart,
the Sespe and the Torry Canon Oil com
panies and the Mission Transfer com
It holds about 80,000 acres of oil lands
in California. From these lands tbere
have been taken out over 53,000,000 gal
lons of oil, and only the edges of this
territory have thus far been touched.
The company's plant account shows
an investment of over $1,250,060, con
sisting of about 100 miles of pipe lines,
52 oil cars, oil storage tanks, having a
capacity of about 4,000,000 gallons, an
oil refinery, machine and boiler shops,
The company usually carries a stock
of from 750,000 to 3 000,000 gallons of
crude oil, its policy being to protect ita
fuel customers against the possibility of
a failure of supply.
The demand for oil for fuel purposes is
largely increasing.and since the introduc

painting inks, and makes a treated dis
tillate which is much more economical
than gasoline for running vapor engines.
It also manufactures a fine line of re

more hallowed place where the last sad

are usually left to some undertaker, who
best knows how to proceed, and who
saves a bereaved family all cares and
annoyances at a time when they are
least fitted to meet them, making the
duty of an undertaker one of the most
sacred of trusts. And it is a well known
fact that there is just as much tender

undertaking parlor, as tbat which
would be found within the home of

great credit. They had over ten timea
the variety of crystallized fruits on ex

Man of Steel Launches MBA Alum's Company to New Heights
When your family owns its own custom furniture company, it is natural to go to design school to pursue the family business. That's what Sanut Chongthanavanit did.
The Chongthanavanits are a family of antiquarians, which spurred Sanut's father to start Art and Antique Gallery in 1972 in Thailand. When genuine works of art became more difficult to find over the years, the elder Chongthanavanit decided to design and produce products in the same style. As such, the family-owned AGAL Décor Inc. was born in 2000 and focused on producing teak furniture and artwork with the same quality and craftsmanship as the Asian antiques which were once so common.
Sanut Chongthanavanit completed his interior design program and began working for the family business. Although he was a talented designer, he realized there was a better way he could help the company.
"I worked for my family business for two years," he says. "I noticed that if we wanted to grow the company larger, it is not only the design skill that we need; we needed better management skills."
And so Sanut found himself nearly 9,000 miles away from his native Thailand at George Mason University pursuing an MBA. After completing his degree in 2012, he returned to Bangkok with a newfound sense of confidence and entrepreneurialism. Combining his design skills, his new business management skills, and his family history in furniture manufacturing, he co-founded Fine26, a custom metal furniture and décor company.
"My parent's company is a teak wood furniture factory," says Sanut. "Fine26 is a metal furniture factory. some knowledge can be transferred across but my organization behavior, leadership, and human resources classes helped me foresee and avoid many organization problems."
In less than a year, Sanut has expanded Fine26 from three to fifteen employees. He has launched a line of metal products and secured partnerships to innovate new production processes and add new product lines. Sanut's goal is to keep his labor workforce low by only hiring skilled labor such as engineers and technicians and focusing on partnerships and machine technology.
"We co-design with an airplane stain coating company for a new stain-resistance process," says Sanut. "We co-design with many award winning designers. Right now we have new projects for a spa product line and a new leather bag product line.
"For the spa products, we are co-designing with an aroma/ceramic factory. We are working with an award winning leather bag company in Thailand to launch a new product line named Meteleather. The possibilities are endless."
While Sanut has focused on the consumer market, he connected with IMAX representatives during Fine26's launch exhibition in Bangkok and was commissioned to build a custom backdrop and other promotional pieces for the Man of Steel marketing campaign in Thailand.
Sanut credits the MBA program for opening his mind to a world of possibilities when it comes to building a company.
"Before [my MBA], my family business was very conservative," he says. "My parents had a quote, 'We do only what we can within our reach.' We never had any debt. My accounting and financial classes help me manage my finances effectively. Right now, we are comfortable to have debt in some degree. This helps my company move forward faster."
And Fine26 is moving fast. In addition to the new product lines and its successful foray into commercial projects, the company has been selected to be part of an intensive development project for small and medium enterprises that is funded by Thailand's Department of Industry Development.
Currently, Sanut is focused on establishing a strong foundation in the local Thai marketplace but his vision is global. When talking of the future, he mentions global retail giant UniQlo, which shares similarities with Fine26 in how the company started.
"My vision is to make Fine26 a megabrand."

A.M. Vitals: Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Raises Johnson & Johnson Stake
Raising the Stakes: Berkshire Hathaway raised its stake in Johnson & Johnson by 73% in the second quarter, giving Warren Buffet's firm a total of 41.3 million shares, the WSJ reports, citing an SEC filing. On June 30, the value of the new shares was just over $1 billion, the paper says. J&J, which has been dealing with a series of recalls, recently sold corporate bonds at record-low interest rates.
Cancer Cost: Cancer cost $895 billion in 2008 — 1.5% of the world's GDP — in disability and years of life lost alone, the Associated Press reports, citing a report to be presented Thursday by the American Cancer Society. The disease is also likely now the world's biggest killer, the AP says, surpassing infectious diseases such as AIDS and malaria. Yesterday a host of public-health and cancer biggies, including Lance Armstrong, called for an increased focus on cancer in low- and middle-income nations.
Disease Control: A new study finds that almost 75% of type 2 diabetics who had weight-loss surgery were able to stop taking their diabetes drugs, in many instances immediately after surgery, the WSJ reports. Patients' health-care costs also declined by more than 70% by the third year after surgery, according to the study, published in the Archives of Surgery.
Cutting Back: People in the U.S. cut back on routine medical care as the economy worsened and made it harder to afford out-of-pocket health expenses, the NYT reports, citing a study published by the National Bureau of Economic Research. The WSJ recently reported that the trend has continued at least into the second quarter of the year, with insurers, labs, hospitals and physician billing services saying people are using fewer medical services.
Complementary Comfort?: Seriously ill kids are increasingly using complementary therapies such as meditation and acupressure to help ease side effects of conventional treatment, deal with disease symptoms and handle stress, the WSJ reports. With studies showing about half of children with chronic diseases use some form of complementary or alternative medicine, researchers are studying whether such "self-calming" methods help kids better cope with conditions including cancer and ADHD.

All hydrocarbon processing facilities have storage tanks.
However, water (H2O) can enter during processing and
handling operations such as loading or transportation,
through a leaking roof or by condensation and then
settle to the tank's bottom. Thus, it is necessary to prevent
bottom plate corrosion and product degradation by draining
bottom H2O periodically.
By observing a tank's product and
H2O withdrawal flows, it can be seen that flows may
become stratified if slowed down or if the velocity is limited.
This makes it possible to selectively withdraw products and
H2O with limited-flow velocity through different
outlet pipes. Generally, the product outlet pipe and the
H2O drain pipe are at the lowest shell course and
the tank's bottom, respectively. It may be constructed as in
Fig. 1 or other designs.1

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

Short notice booking, looking for something cheap and cheerful and we were very happy with the result.
Unfortunately, my husband is 6'4" and found the bed wth a wooden foot bar a tad uncomfortable. I however found the bed to be very comfortable. We could have done without the seagull dawn chorus but that's the seaside for you. The room was very small but with a very good shower and the walls were thin. Thankfully, we had good neighbours. Breakfast was ok but the coffee was awful, however, absolutely nothing was too much trouble and they were very attentive to our needs.

Notorious gangster Salvatore "Sammy the Bull" Gravano had homosexual relations with a young man before making his way up the ranks of the Gambino crime family, according to a new book proposal currently being shopped.
Authors Laura and Karen Garofalo were just 17 and 25, respectively, when their father, Eddie Garofalo, was murdered by Gravano's henchmen in 1990. In "Our Father's Blood," the sisters reveal that Gravano's bisexuality was "common knowledge" in Brooklyn. "People in Bensonhurst knew, but no one really talked about it," Laura Garofalo tells Page Six.
According to the proposal now being offered to publishers, Gravano once carried on a secret relationship with a man the Garofalos call "Jack Russo." After Gravano wed Debra Scibetta in 1971, he supposedly learned that Scibetta's brother, Nick, had admitted to her that he was gay, and that he, too, had been involved with Russo. "Nick knew Gravano's secret," Garofalo says.
Nick Scibetta, an alcoholic with a cocaine habit, was murdered in 1978 after insulting the daughter of a Gambino boss and getting into a fight with the son of another. According to Laura, "Sammy has always maintained that Nick was killed because his behavior was out of control and he was a liability, but the truth is that he wanted him dead because Nick had threatened to out him."
Garofalo says that of the 19 murders Gravano admitted to as part of his plea deal, Scibetta's is the only one that remains sealed.
Gravano, who famously flipped on Gambino boss John Gotti and later entered the Witness Protection Program, is currently serving a 19-year stint in Arizona state prison after being convicted of possession and distribution of ecstasy in October 2002.

Kang no stranger to setbacks
Story by Andreas Hale
Dennis Kang is no stranger to overcoming setbacks. The man also known as the "Super Korean" has dealt with numerous stalling points in his career only to rebound and come back more impressive than ever. After losing his UFC debut – in which he was dominating Alan Belcher before getting tapped via guillotine choke – Kang is looking to make a comeback against Xavier Foupa-Pokam at UFC 97 in Montreal, Canada.
For Kang, a setback is nothing to lose your cool about. The Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt started his mixed martial arts career with a paltry 7-7 record before kicking it into high gear and going 18-0-1 with one no contest while becoming Sprint MC Heavyweight Champion and becoming a dominating force in PRIDE from 2003-2006.
"A lot of it is really taking a professional approach to my training," Kang reflects on what went wrong early on in his career. "I really didn't know how to train for a fight. It was just more of a hobby for me. I really had to learn piece by piece. How to train, enhance my conditioning and getting different coaches for different things."
There was even a time where the Super Korean considered hanging it up.
"There were a few times where I was discouraged after losing that I can remember. In the beginning I really wasn't making a lot of money," Kang says. "Not only was I broke, but I'm also losing. I didn't feel that I was that proficient or that skillful. It's like a double edge sword. On one end I get cut because I'm not making any money and on the other end I'm losing. It was really hard. I had to dig deep and struggle just to keep my faith in the sport and myself."
After digging deep, Kang found his place in MMA as he rolled through his competition with impressive wins over the likes of Murilo Rua, Mark Weir and Marvin Eastman. As Kang recalls his most impressive victory, it wouldn't be one that ended in dramatic fashion. Rather, it would be a fight that went the distance.
"My most impressive victory would be when I fought Andre Seminov in my second fight in PRIDE because I beat him by decision and I broke my hand," Kang says. "I broke it early on and I had to essentially win with one hand. Even though it was hurting I kept working around the injury."
When finally making his debut in the UFC in January, Kang faced another setback when he got caught with a guillotine choke by Alan Belcher after looking very impressive through the first two rounds.
"I got a little overzealous in the first round and I got a little winded which led to me taking a sloppy lazy shot which he capitalized on," Kang states.
Now, Kang will get his opportunity to welcome a new fighter into the UFC by the name of Xavier Foupa-Pokam in his hometown of Montreal.
"I just know he's got a lot of fights," he says of his Middleweight opponent. "I know that he's primarily a stand up fighter with a few submission wins. If it goes to the ground I think the advantage will be for me for sure. (But) I don't think that I have any disadvantages against him standing up."
"I'm really going to play to the fact that in this fight I'll be the one welcoming him into the UFC," Kang continues. "I think he'll have a lot more pressure than I will. He'll also be in my hometown of Montreal. I will have the crowd behind me. I think that the longer the fight goes, it should be in my favor and that's what I'm planning on."

Burr skated with the Detroit Red Wings from 1983 through 1995. He was a player whose versatility on the ice and likeability off the ice made him a vital part of the team. His relationship with the Wings extended into retirement as Red Wings Alumni Association president.
After he was diagnosed with leukemia in 2010, Burr focused his foundation on raising funds for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and raising awareness about diagnosis of the disease, as he explained in this WDIV interview last year. "Someone that gets swabbed at the dentist's office is going to save someone's life," he said.
His cancer went into remission for several months, thanks to early detection and a courageous fight, but it returned. According to WDIV, Burr hit his head in the fall but the exact cause of death isn't yet known.
Burr also played for the Tampa Bay Lightning and the San Jose Sharks, retiring in 2000 with the Lightning.

David Guetta's newest track is unlike anything he's released before. This is not necessarily a bad thing, although many music critics and fans across the world frown upon change. While repetition and sticking to what sells is a sign of an intelligent artist, it's nice to hear talented superstars spice it up and create songs that take their sound to an exciting level.
Shot me Down, featuring Skylar Grey is an electrifying tale of a long-term relationship that's been destroyed. The song starts out with a western, Robert Rodriguez/Grindhouse type of tone that makes you think you're about to watch a shootout between two cowboys. "He wore black and I wore white" alludes to the devastating wedding day between an engaged couple. Just as the story starts to unfold, the track cuts into an extreme EDM banger. Intense beats and hooks escalate while Grey's hypnotic voice guides us through her torment, as you can literally feel her energy and surprise of the situation. If this song doesn't make you want to work out, dance or have sex all at the same time, then you need to check your pulse. You'll be moving at the computer while you work hoping your boss doesn't catch you busting a move in the office.
Everything about this song works, even the colorful artwork to accompany it. David Guetta has always been a respected musician, but his evolution is what continues to outshine the rest. If you're looking for a sappy love song just in time for Valentine's Day, download Mariah Carey's new jam, You're Mine. For all those EDM lovers who've experienced loss in recent months, Shot Me Down will give a whole new meaning to love stories.

Currency Market: US Dollar Index Should Have Very Solid Support Around 82
Cody Tafel
Except for the AUD and NZD, all other currencies look weak relative to the US dollar.
The US Dollar Index is pushing below the 82 level, which I think should be very solid support. The November 2012 high was 81.5, so I would be an aggressive buyer of DX as it sells off below 82 today. The 200-day moving average support is also just above 81, so I think you are risking less than a dollar here for three or more on the upside. If I am correct about the current DX setup, this is a great low risk buying opportunity for a move that could potentially target 90 and higher. See the chart below.
Click to enlarge
This sell-off in the US Dollar Index has been driven by strength in the euro this morning, and I think the euro is rallying into a good risk reward spot to add short positions. It looks like the euro could be in the process of forming a head-and-shoulders top, which would target a move back down to the 1.20 level. With the euro currently trading just below 1.32, I think you are only risking 100 pips at these levels for a potential move lower of over 1000 pips. I'll take a 10 to 1 reward to risk ratio trade any day!

The British pound also looks like a good risk reward short at current levels, as this bear market rally has brought it right back up to the lows of June 2012, which should be heavy longer term resistance. Like the euro, this is another trade where I think you are risking only about 100 pips from current levels, and if it does roll over here, there is a lot of room on the downside! See the chart below, and stay safe out there!

MEDINA — Medina County Public Transit Director Michael Salamone asked the county commissioners Monday to fill a $300,000 funding gap for next year.
The county's public transport system has obtained grants to bring its 2014 operating revenue up to $1.8 million. But that's not enough to cover an estimated $2.1 million in expenses, Salamone said.
The shortfall stems from the reclassification of Medina County as an Urban Transit System in 2014 by the Ohio Department of Transportation. Urban systems get more federal funding for equipment and facilities but far less to subsidize daily operations.
The shortfall means cutting on-demand routes that serve the county's rural and developmentally disabled residents: The number of operating routes were reduced from 23 to 15 because most of the routes was for on-demand service that the new classification will not fund.
"The cities of Medina and Wadsworth will be getting better service through the fixed routes, but the ones hurting will be Lodi and Spencer," Salamone said.
ODOT officials have said they were required to reclassify the county after the 2010 Census showed a population increase in Medina County.
County Administrator Chris Jakab said ODOT will only provide about $135,000 next year compared to the roughly $1 million it would have provided if Medina County remained a rural transit area.
Earlier this year, county officials feared the shortfall would be greater — $1 million. But more than two-thirds of the projected deficit was eliminated by grants from the Northeast Ohio Areawide Coordinating Agency, two federal grants for urbanized areas that are normally awarded to Cleveland and Akron and a contract with the city of Brunswick to establish a fixed route with the city of Medina.
A plan devised by Salamone and Jakab will maintain two fixed routes in Wadsworth — including an Americans with Disabilities Act complimentary route that runs a ¾-mile loop — four fixed routes in Medina including two ADA routes running a 1-mile loop, in addition to the fixed route from Medina to Brunswick.
All seven routes will operate Monday through Saturday and maintain similar hours. That will leave eight on-demand routes to serve the rural communities.
Salamone said some residents who used on-demand busing will be served by new fixed routes that provide more consistent and convenient service.

|Coconut Pancakes with Peaches ($10.50) and Espressado Smoothie ($4)
We ordered the Coconut Pancakes with Peaches ($10.50) and the Espressado Smoothie ($4). The pancakes hit that sweet spot of being both soft and crispy, and the flavour of the toasted coconut and fresh peaches was heavenly. We were a little skeptical about the smoothie, it being a mix of espresso and avocado, but somehow it worked and was quite refreshing, to our pleasant surprise.
Is Saving Grace worth the wait? Well... yes and no. The lacklustre service makes it debatable but they do have some of the most unique breakfast items you'll ever see. All things considered, it's no wonder that people line up for their weekend breakfast and brunch well before they open.

College Hockey:Frozen Four Preview: Miami Pushes Forward
By now, everyone knows the personal tragedy that Miami hockey endured this year. In early February, team manager Brendan Burke, the 21-year-old son of Toronto Maple Leafs general manager Brian Burke, was killed in an auto accident on an icy road near the Indiana-Ohio border.
It's the reason the RedHawks wear the shamrock patch on their shoulders. It's also a sad reason that drew the close team and organization even closer together.
"We are a family," said coach Enrico Blasi. "We're talking about three or four years of being together every single day. That's how we really got through it, being together. If we needed to talk about it, we talked about it. If we needed to do what we needed to do on the ice, we did that.
"What we do on the ice is a game and we love it, but what happened to Brendan, that's real life."
Focusing solely on the ups and downs of this Miami season — losing last year's national title game after taking a two-goal lead into the final minute, Blasi's frankness about relying on his coaches and players during his own divorce, Burke's death — takes away from what should be the sole consideration of this RedHawks team, this weekend in Detroit.
Miami is flat-out that good.
"I think we're a very deep team, both offensively and defensively," said junior captain Tommy Wingels, this year's CCHA Best Defensive Forward award winner. "It's a battle day in and day out for guys to get into the lineup. The guys that aren't in the lineup are good players as well.
"I think it makes us hard to match up against. When you have four lines rolling, obviously it's tough [for opponents] to change lines, but it's best for us when it's like that, too. There's more rest on the bench. You have more confidence in the team when all four lines are going."
You don't have to take Wingels' word for it; just look at the way Miami has scored coming into the Frozen Four. In their last 10 games, the RedHawks have registered 29 goals by 15 different players. In their last four contests, including the two of the Midwest Regional, eight different players have accounted for nine total goals.
"Then our goaltenders as well," said Wingels. "We have two No. 1 goalies."
It's a phrase the Miami folks like to toss around, that two-No. 1-goalies thing, but they aren't exaggerating. In addition to sophomore Cody Reichard, the CCHA's player of the year, the RedHawks can rely on his classmate, Connor Knapp (10-3-4, 1.85, .926).
In fact, the two goaltenders split time for the Midwest Regional. Reichard earned the 2-1 win over Alabama-Huntsville, and Knapp captured the weekend with his 55-save performance when Miami beat Michigan, 3-2, in double overtime.
The RedHawks did show some weaknesses this season, both in the number of penalties they took and in their power-play performance. In Fort Wayne, though, Miami played disciplined hockey, with 13 minor calls in two games. And the power play, which struggled to convert at 14.2 percent in the second half of the season, scored four of five Miami's goals in the Midwest Regional.
"At this time of the year, you're playing high-quality teams, so if we can play even five-on-five and make it a special teams game, we feel pretty good about that," said Blasi. "It comes down to special teams no matter who you're going to play, and everybody knows that. If we can chip in a couple of five-on-five goals, that'll be to our advantage."

Continuing down the Troma path, we arrive at 'Class of Nuke 'em High.'
Tromaville High School is located a mere quarter mile from the local nuclear power plant. When the plant begins to leak toxic waste, it begins to affect the young, impressionable minds next door.
Things kick off when a meek overachiever drinks from the water fountain, only to ooze green liquid, leap out of the window and melt on the sidewalk. Also troubling is the fact that the school's honor society has mutated into a 'Road Warrior'-like gang of bullies and drug dealers known as The Cretins. Why they have changed and no one else has, at this point, is anyone's guess. Anyway, the big drug that the Cretins distribute is some marijuana grown (and altered) just outside of the nuclear power plant.
Two well-behaved students, Warren (Gil Brenton) and Chrissy (Janelle Brady) are on the receiving end of this Atomic Weed. It ends up being just what the couple needs to inspire them to make their love official in a physical way (if you catch my drift). Warren doesn't feel so great and has some bizarre dreams and a temporary mutation. Chrissy isn't so lucky as she finds herself pregnant. By pregnant, I mean that she has a horrific creature growing inside of her that she eventually vomits into the school's toilet and promptly flushes in horror.
With the radiation and ooze getting worse and the boss of the nuclear power plant unwilling to take drastic action that might attract attention, what will be left of the graduating class?
For no apparent reason, bizarre stories set in high schools have always connected with this examiner. It is probably due to the fact that everyone can relate to the location and subverting one's own experience is a nice contrast.
Along with being a statement about the potential danger of nuclear power and corporate irresponsibility, this has some fun with cautionary tales about marijuana. The tone isn't that far off from 'The Toxic Avenger', perhaps being a little less violent and gory while being even more cartoonish. Come on, the Cretins' outfits are positively ridiculous. The nonchalant way that most of the school reacts to the men in hazmat suits invading the school is also rather funny. A little clever wordplay and verbal humor makes its way into the story, as well.
Even as far as these films go, some of the acting is abominable. Characters' reactions are stilted and delayed and the writing is bad all around. We meet a number of characters early on that seem to be forgotten about late in the game. It doesn't take away from the fun, but it's hard to compare this to most movies, seeing as it has little intention of being serious.
Special features include: a tour of Troma studios, deleted scenes, production stills, scenes from a fake TV show and trailers.
As with almost everything from Troma, it's hard to argue that 'Class of Nuke 'em High' is a good movie in the traditional sense. At the same time, if your expectations are properly adjusted, it is very possible to thoroughly enjoy this. In fact, it is probably one of Troma's most watchable films.
Add an extra half star to this review.

Julianne Hough
Provo, Utah
"I'm real, and that what you see is what you get with me. I want people to know that I'm just Julianne. I'm not somebody that needs to be put up on a pedestal."
- Julianne Hough
Julianne Hough has been waltzing her way into the hearts of men around the world since 2007, when she made her first of many appearances on Dancing with the Stars. She has since released a chart-topping country album and will be making her big screen debut this fall in the eagerly anticipated musical, Burlesque. "It's all overwhelming," she admits. "I just can't believe I really am here doing this and pursuing everything that I love. And I'm just having a blast with it."
Alas, Julianne Hough's suitors should be forewarned that she's saving herself for marriage. "I want to be with that special person," she says. "I think [the choice] to have sex before marriage is an individual one, but if you're just with one person, it's only for one good reason, and [waiting to have sex] will strengthen that relationship. I'm not trying to preach consequences here, but I think when you say no, down the line it will be a better decision."
Julianne Hough will also have the chance to prove she can act later this year when she hits the big screen in a pair of eagerly anticipated films. Up first is Burlesque, a risqué musical starring Christina Aguilera and Cher, followed by a remake of Footloose featuring Dennis Quaid and Kenny Wormald. "This has been my dream since I was 5 years old," she says. "I'm very goal-driven, ambitious and I don't like to fail. I'm willing to sacrifice a lot to pursue my dreams." Given her remarkable drive and ability to multitask, something tells us that Hough may not have to sacrifice anything at all.

Can I Buy a House With My Child's Trust Fund?
Original post by Wanda Thibodeaux of Demand Media
Trust funds are one option for protecting assets for your children. These agreements let a trustee manage the assets on your behalf. Trust funds for children can hold significant amounts of money that can cover some or all of the cost of purchasing a home. Whether you can use the funds in your child's trust fund to do this depends on the type of trust, whether you are a trustee, and the terms of the trust.
Trust Type
Perhaps the largest determinant of whether you can buy a house with your child's trust fund is the trust type. Trusts fall into two main categories: revocable and irrevocable. With a revocable trust, you can change the trust terms if desired, and you retain control of the trust and its assets. With an irrevocable trust, you cannot change the trust terms, and you don't have control of the assets -- the trust owns whatever assets you include. If you have a revocable trust, it is possible to modify the trust terms to allow the purchase of a home, or to dissolve the trust entirely so you can use the assets. If you have a revocable trust, you generally cannot touch the assets because you no longer own them.
Grantor and Trustee
A grantor is the person who creates the trust, and the trustee is the person who manages the assets in the trust. It is possible for grantors to be the trustees of the trusts they create. If you are both grantor and trustee, even when you have a irrevocable trust, you might be able to use the assets for home purchase, as the trust owns the assets.
Trust Terms
Trustees, regardless of whether they also are the grantor of the trust, have a fiduciary duty to the trust beneficiaries. They are required to manage the trust assets for the good of the beneficiaries in accordance with the trust terms. This means that although the trustee has ownership of the trust assets, he has to use the assets as outlined in the trust. If the trust specifically states that the assets can be used to purchase a home, then the trustee would be within his right to put trust assets toward that purpose. However, if the trust outlines that the funds are to be used for other specific purposes the trustee must follow those guidelines.
Bottom Line
Whether you can use your child's trust fund assets to purchase a home depends on multiple factors. Even if doing this happens to be possible based on the way you've set up the trust, it is a good idea to think about the intent of these funds, which is to provide for your child's future. If you intend to buy the home as a gift, using your child's trust fund to buy the home can be a legitimate financial route that provides your child with a larger investment return. However, if you believe your child will not directly benefit from the purchase, it might be better to leave the trust fund assets alone.

If you're heading into El Cajon and are absolutely driven beyond control to break from the health foods you've managed to align yourself with for the past month or so, don't forget to down a dog or a burger with the taste of "oh so good!" because this place puts out a pretty good burger I can personally swear to it. Get the tastes you're dreaming of at the new kids on the block, Five Guys Burgers and Fries http://www.fiveguys.com Located in Parkway Plaza at 345 Fletcher Parkway and they are doing business from 11:00 until 10:00 every day.
This company is now a franchise operation growing like a weed. Beginning in 1986 and expanding right away to five stores in the Washington D.C. area they perfected the products to just where they liked them.
Starting in 2003 they began franchising and at this time they are growing at about 33% per year which tells me America likes a good burger with all the trimmings regardless of any negative consequences to the circulatory system. Sometimes you've just got to grab a little gusto.
This outfit offers no shame in self promotions, they've got their accolades offered in many places, including on their take out menus which shares the facts of such honors as Best French Fries, Best $5.00 Burger a Man Can Eat, and don't forget "Fine dining of hamburgers."
Nancy and I went in just last week and I ordered and ate the cheese burger which is two ¼ patties with a slice of American cheese and mine was topped with lettuce, pickles, tomatoes, grilled onions, grilled mushrooms, ketchup and mustard. They offered me more toppings but I accepted just those listed above and I enjoyed each and every one of them for just about 1000 calories I'm sure. Top that with the fries and I guarantee I hit a daily intake of calories.
Nancy was more conservative with a Little Hamburger which is the same as above less one of the patties so she came in at 500 calories showing you how much fat the meat contains and don't forget my cheese.
The guys who were cooking and taking the orders were all very nice, fun loving guys and we ate pretty quickly even though it was made after we ordered. We had medium fries, which we split one of and medium cokes all for about $20.00 so it's a bit pricey for burgers and fries but we could have both done the Little Burger and the small cokes for only about $16.00.
This place was good to eat and I'll look for another trip when my cholesterol settles back below the Fatty Arbuckle line.
