Conan is coming to TBS! Nope, not the Barbarian, the other Conan. News of Conan O'Brien taking his fabulous head of hair over to TBS has official flooded the Internet. It was such a surprise, even Atlanta TBS employees only just found out this morning.
Starting in November, Conan's yet-untitled show will fill the Monday - Thursday, 11pm time-slot that Lopez Tonight currently holds on TBS. Lopez Tonight will move back to midnight, giving all night owls a full two-hours of Very Funny late-night comedy.
Speaking of Lopez, George himself called Conan to convince him to come on-board. "I can't think of anything better than doing my show with Conan as my lead-in," Lopez said. "It's the beginning of a new era in late-night comedy." After O'Brien started talks with the network only last week, TBS announced the unexpected news this morning. "For decades, late-night TV has been dominated by broadcast television," says Turner Entertainment Networks President Steve Koonin. "Now, with a young audience and a growing late-night lineup, TBS is set to be the choice of comedy fans for years to come." O'Brien adds, "In three months I've gone from network television to Twitter to performing live in theaters, and now I'm headed to basic cable. My plan is working perfectly."
Atlanta-based TBS employee's couldn't't be happier to hear the news. "I'm thrilled that Conan has decided to come to TBS. I've never been prouder of being a part of this network! Conan O'Brien is someone I really admire as a comedian, writer and performer. It's just fantastic news", says a writer/producer for TBS. Susan Owen, Assistant Media Manager for TBS Marketing, adds, "I was completely overjoyed to hear that Conan will soon be joining our happy little cable family. It's a home-run for everyone. TBS gets the equity in the Conan brand to strengthen the late-night line-up, and Conan gets to come home to a place that will cherish his spirit and talent."
Before you check out O'Brien on the Very Funny network, catch him touring around the U.S. and Canada for his live show, Legally Prohibited from Being Funny on Television Tour.

The Death of Ivan Ilych
by Leo Tolstoy
The Death of Ivan Ilych Isolation Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Chapter.Paragraph). We used Alymer Maude's translation.
Quote #10
Latterly during the loneliness in which he found himself as he lay facing the back of the sofa, a loneliness in the midst of a populous town and surrounded by numerous acquaintances and relations but that yet could not have been more complete anywhere – either at the bottom of the sea or under the earth – during that terrible loneliness Ivan Ilych had lived only in memories of the past. Pictures of his past rose before him one after another. (10.6)
Real loneliness doesn't require physical isolation. Even though Ivan is surrounded by people, including family and friends, he has no connections to them. That reveals the artificial quality of all of the relationships Ivan has spent his life building. His only recourse at this point is to go deeper into himself and his past for comfort. Perhaps he does this because in his past, he did have genuine connections to his parents.

Supplementum Epigraphicum Graecum (SEG) (classical era)
Supplementum Epigraphicum Graceum presents complete Greek texts of all newly discovered inscriptions, with a critical apparatus. It also summarizes new readings, interpretations and studies of known inscriptions, and occasionally presents the Greek text of these documents.
The arrangement of the texts is geographical, according to the order of Inscriptiones Graecae, from IG I, Attica to IG XIV, Sicily-Italy. After that follow the areas of Asia Minor, Syria-Palaestina and Egypt. Within each geographical region the texts are grouped according to their place of origin, in alphabetical order. Within each place the texts are arranged in chronological order according to four categories: public documents, dedications, epitaphs, miscellaneous.
The concordance and indexes in each volume give ancient historians, classicists, archaeologists, and others access to the epigraphical sources. Included are not only indexes of names of men and women, geographical names, and so on, but also religious and military affairs, important Greek words, and selected topics. (58 volumes, published 1923-ongoing).

The Gazette
WADSWORTH — Papa Dennison will be proud.
Jim Dennison made the I-formation famous locally with his outstanding University of Akron football teams in the mid-to-late 1970s. One of his sons, Greg, has made a 125-win career out of it at Wadsworth.
Needing to build momentum heading into the Suburban League schedule, the Grizzlies went back to the basics Friday, rarely came out of the I-formation and rolled to a not-even-close 29-0 non-league victory over Medina.
"We knew we had to get back to being physical and winning the line of scrimmage," Greg Dennison said. "Last week, Wooster took the line of scrimmage away from us a little bit. Our kids responded."
Wadsworth (2-1) rushed for 277 yards on 53 carries and didn't attempt a pass in the second half. Juniors Martice Jackson (28 carries, 146 yards, 2 TDs) and Scott Campbell (15-92, 1) were an impressive one-two punch behind a bulldozing offensive line that was boosted by the return of 6-foot-3, 274-pound left tackle Daryk Maki from suspension.
The defense was equally impressive — Medina (1-2) had just five first downs and 91 yards total offense — but the night belonged to Jackson and Campbell, who are faced with the daunting task of trying to replace Jack Snowball, one of the greatest backs in Medina County history.
"We just go with what we have," Dennison said. "Both of them run real well and we weren't unhappy with one or the other. If one guy got tired, we went with the other, but up front is where we won it."
Wadsworth rode Jackson to its first score, as the 5-11, 198-pounder carried the rock five times for 43 yards and went in from 20 yards out late in the first quarter. Gunnar Graham scored 2 minutes later to make it 14-0.
Shortly thereafter, momentum changed permanently.
Medina running back Emerson Buckland took a third-and-3 handoff on his own 37, broke a tackle behind the line and then tried to churn his legs into the heart of the defense. His right knee bent awkwardly during the pileup, and he was unable to leave the field under his own power.
Bees coach Dan Sutherland felt it was time to roll the dice on the next play, but quarterback Jerry Klue (17 carries, 63 yards) was stuffed well short of the first down on fourth-and-2.
Jackson's 8-yard TD just before halftime was, for all intents and purposes, the dagger.
"I think that was the one that changed the game," Maki said of the fourth-down stuff. "They lost all their momentum. They just shut down after that."
"Obviously, it's no secret we've been struggling offensively for a couple weeks now, and we're trying to get some kind of spark going to ignite the kids," Sutherland said. "No second-guesses. I'm pleased with that decision. It just didn't work out."
Campbell took over in the second half.
During a 10-play, 71-yard drive midway through the third quarter, the 5-9, 181-pounder carried the ball seven times for 45 yards. He capped what was essentially a one-man show with the play of the night when he took a handoff right, broke a tackle, trucked another defender and carried a third 5 yards into the end zone.
It was a noteworthy night all-around, as Jackson and Campbell each finished with career-high yardage totals.
"(Scott) keeps me fresh," Jackson said. "I cramp up late at night, so it's a good change of pace. This just leads us into the Suburban League so we can get the title."
Wadsworth concluded the scoring when Luis Escudero finished a whopping 21-play drive with a 28-yard field goal.
Not to be outdone, the Wadsworth defense was feeling it on a field that was drenched by a thunderstorm 2 hours before kickoff.
Led by Maki at tackle and linebackers Graham and Nick Winkler, the Grizzlies made sure the Bees found little room to maneuver outside of Klue scrambling during a bizarre second-quarter sequence in which he had runs of 12, minus-14, 15 and 14 yards.
"We have a new perspective heading into next week," Maki said in reference to hosting rival Highland. "After our loss to Wooster, everybody had to pick it up, and look what we did."
Medina, which has scored 18 points in three games, gained a paltry 13 yards on 12 snaps in the second half, as Klue moved to tailback and sophomore Collin Minor took over at quarterback. Seven of those yards came on a Minor pass that found Jake Brandon as time expired.
It's clearly back to the drawing board for the Bees, who also lost starting fullback Mac Lengel to injury and, according to Sutherland, have just three healthy running backs left on the roster.
"They were more physical than us in the first half," Sutherland said. "I felt offensively we were a couple plays from busting it. We just couldn't break that single tackle. We've got to have two or three guys tackle us. We've got to make guys miss and make guys gang-tackle us."

Bucharest is Romania's municipal, cultural, industrial, and financial center. It is best known for its glorious Belle Époque buildings and reputation for enjoying the high life. In the years between World war I and World war II, Bucharest earned the nickname "the Little Paris of the East." Bucharest is the 6th largest city in the European Union and it joined the EU in 2007.
Belle Epoque buildings in the nation's capital reference the rich and varied history of Bucharest. The buildings were erected against the backdrop of the lovely Dambovita River which is a small northern tributary of the Danube. Bucharest is located 43 miles north of the Danube and it is the transportation hub of Eastern Europe.
Calea Victoriei or Victory Avenue is Bucharest's oldest street, built in 1692. Renamed in 1878 after the Romanian war of Independence, Victory Avenue is home to the beautiful buildings that were modeled after the Belle Epoque buildings constructed for the Paris world's fair of 1900.
Belle Epoque (French for "Beautiful Era") was a time of peace and prosperity which saw a flourishing of the arts and culture. This golden age featured buildings in Bucharest such as the Romanian Atheaneum which is home to the Athenaeum Cultural Society and a temple of Romanian arts and culture. Built in 1886 by Albert Galleron, it boasts 800 seats and fine acoustics. It is the site of the famous George Enescu Classical Music Festival.
The museum dedicated to Enescu (1881-1955) is also located on Victoria Avenue. It is one of the most famous buildings of the early 20th Century in the bustling Romanian city. It features wrought iron railings, organic and biomorphic masonry work likened to that of buildings found in Barcelona and Paris of the same period. T
The Savings Bank Palace was built in 1897-1900 by architect, Paul Gottereau. The Savings Bank Palace was the headquarters of Romania's oldest bank, established in 1864. The King, Carol I laid the cornerstone.
A last historic, early 20th Century structure in Bucharest is the Arcul de Triump or Arch de Triomphe like the famous one in Paris. The Romanian arch was originally built of wood in 1922 and later, rebuilt in Deva granite in 1936. The interior staircase provides panoramic views of the city and serves as a war memorial to those who served in the World War I battles in the Romanian service.
Bucharest is a fascinating and busy capital city of Romania with impressive buildings from the early years of the 1900s.

John Coltrane: Equinox
John Coltrane (tenor sax)
Coltrane's Sound (Rhino/Atlantic R2 75588)
John Coltrane (tenor sax), McCoy Tyner (piano), Steve Davis (bass), Elvin Jones (drums).
Composed by John Coltrane.
Recorded: New York, October 26, 1960
Rating: 98/100 (learn more)
"Equinox" is a simple enough composition – after an intro that nods to "Star Eyes" as performed by Charlie Parker, it's just a 12-bar blues built on the simplest of melodies and employing four basic chords. A child could have written it. But the devil is in the details, and Coltrane's quartet digs up a myriad of them over these eight minutes. The atmosphere is one of mystery – Elvin Jones tap-tapping on his cymbals, Steve Davis plucking meditatively, and McCoy Tyner comping with those thick chords of his before taking the tune's climactic solo. Coltrane stays close to the melody here, but with him it's all about feeling.

Watch 'Made With Love,' the Most Passive-Aggressive Cooking-Segment Spoof You'll See Today
"It's disappointing when things turn out a little flaccid."
Anyone who has ever watched a cooking show just knowing that when the cameras turn off the hosts are not the chipper, everything-is-yummy people they appear to be is probably not alone. Everyone feels that way. But what happens when the hosts' frustrations are so strong that they sort of start to crop up in the actual show? Well, if it happened and it were funny, it'd possibly be like this faux–Food Network segment, "Made With Love." End your day by watching the full clip, straight ahead.

Jeff Hamilton: The Serpent's Tooth
The Serpent's Tooth
Jeff Hamilton (drums)
Symbiosis (Capri 74097)
Jeff Hamilton (drums), Tamir Hendelman (piano), Christoph Luty (bass).
Composed by Miles Davis. Arranged by Christoph Luty.
Recorded: Los Angeles, February 2, 2009
Rating: 92/100 (learn more)
Miles Davis wrote "The Serpent's Tooth" for a 1953 recording date he led featuring the enviable two-tenor lineup of Charlie Parker and Sonny Rollins. Unfortunately, neither tenor man was at his best that day, and MIles' fine composition has not been covered much in the intervening years. Jeff Hamilton used it as the closing number on his trio CD, Symbiosis, and bassist Christoph Luty's ingenious arrangement abruptly takes the tempo down to half-speed at the beginning of the bridge, only to gradually accelerate back to the original fast tempo in the first four bars of the final A section. While the tempo changes do not occur during the solos, the two appearances of the accelerating passage show just how well this group plays together. All three members of the group solo here. Pianist Tamir Hendelman gets the lion's share (or serpent's share?) with a dazzling solo that starts in straight-ahead bop style but moves in and out of more advanced harmonic territory. In his last chorus, Hendelman incorporates an exciting shout chorus to offset his improvised ideas and to offer a thrilling conclusion to his solo. Luty's solo sticks in the bebop style and features stunningly articulated hornlike lines which most bass players wouldn't dream of trying. Hamilton roars through his spots with rapid-fire movement between his toms and tenor drums. An excellent performance by one of the best mainstream groups in jazz today.

TC TO ARTHUR HELPS ; 10 March 1857; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18570310-TC-AH-01; CL 32: 100-101
Chelsea, 10 March, 1857—
Dear Helps,
I heartily congratulate you on getting so massive a new Piece of the Sysiphus Rock rolled up, and fairly laid at rest on the top of the hill!1 I will read your new volume; and I have no doubt it will be with the old pleasure: but that, or all men's reading and applauding, or not reading and even hissing, is (if I may judge by my own sad feelings) a small matter in comparison with the above most important fact,—which is indisputable to critics.
Oh Heavens, yes certainly if I ever live across this horrid vortex of the jingling infinitude of Prussian sand and marine-stores (which fact seems often problematic to me), I do certainly intend to recreate myself at Vernon Hill:2 but all that is yet—God knows how far!
Pity me, pray for me; and accept many thanks, congratulations good auguries, and old and new regards.
Yours ever truly /
T. Carlyle

Frey, Bruno S; Meier, Stephan (2002). Two Concerns about Rational Choice: Indoctrination and Imperialism. Working paper series / Institute for Empirical Research in Economics No. 104, University of Zurich.
Rational Choice Theory is often criticized to indoctrinate students in a negative, which is supported by some laboratory experiments. But do students of Rational Choice Theory really behave more selfishly? This paper presents evidence from a natural decision on voluntary donation at the University of Zurich. The analysis of the very large panel data set reaches significant different results than previous studies: Rational Choice Theory does not indoctrinate students. However, there are good other reasons to criticize Rational Choice Theory. The paper argues that ideas from other social sciences should be imported to improve the theory. Three elements are presented which lead to new and different policy conclusions.

Why is it bad to have two anti-virus systems? It could be useful to get better detection rates. In the second post from the top of the page Stranger claims it's not bad to use two antiviruses as long as they don't conflict. How do you know if a-v's don't conflict?
Two active scanning anti-virus programs will conflict. Passive scanners won't, and you can have as many of them as you want.
The issue is the way active scanners work. The behavior they're looking for is programs that attempt to manage the entire system and intercept and mangle the data going to other programs. However, they prevent this behavior by engaging in precisely this behavior. To an anti-virus program, another anti-virus program behaves precisely as a virus does -- monitoring other programs, intercepting and filtering their data, and so on.
If either anti-virus program allowed information to get to a process without scanning it, it wouldn't be doing its job. But they can't both scan the data (since whichever wasn't last would have scanned the data that went to the other anti-virus program, not the data that went to the target process). So there is no sane resolution.

CPR CR2000 Wet/Dry Filter
Product Manuals & Documentation
The value of a biological filter depends on how well it performs the tasks of oxygenation, ammonia conversion and gas exchange on a long term basis. In the wet/dry filter, air and water mix as water trickles over an exposed filter media such as Bio BaleTM. Biological filtration and gas exchange occur as the water flows in a thin layer over the media surface. (CR Series filters provide optimum growing conditions for bacteria which oxidize nitrite and toxic ammonia.) The rapid oxidation of ammonia and nitrite helps to maintain a stress free environment for aquatic life.
CPR filters are designed for long term reliability and ease of maintenance. These filters incorporate superior design features, such as:
Simple installation and operation.
Compact size to easily fit under your aquarium stand.
Excellent craftsmanship, all edges flame polished.
Efficient drip plate or drip lid dispersal.
Specially designed vented lids allow for proper gas exchange, and do not warp.

Manufacturer Info
CPR Aquatic Aquarium Supplies
In Arcata, located in Northern California, the sea is a way of life. From the advanced Marine Biology department at Humboldt State University, just up the hill from CPR's headquarters, to Humboldt Bay, about a mile west, CPR is nestled in a perfect environment to develop equipment for marine aquariums. CPR was started in a small garage in 1987 to produce biological filters for local aquarists. People who used CPR filters were impressed by the high quality and affordable prices. Word spread and the company grew. Since then, CPR has expanded to a 10,000 sq. ft. production facility and has developed many innovative products over the years. CPR is incorporating new ideas and technologies all the time. Their goal is to allow aquarists to place the highest performing products in their tanks at reasonable prices.

Experience Level:
Hooked up great. With a little silicone on the drain valve, (cause they drip), and a hose clamp to fasten the large feed line for the wet-dry box, to my tanks overflow, and we were ready to go. It balances easily with a gallon or two of water. I have it on a 125 gallon All Glass Aquarium, with an Eheim 2260 inline, with a spray-bar, with an inline Hydor 300 Watt Heater and a Corallife turbo twist UV Steralizer. The tank comes clear quickly. I also have an Emperor 400, in the mix..cause I love those bio-wheels!! I like it better than the 900 or 1000 models, because it's just a little bigger, but with a lot more capacity.

If your condition is diagnosed within 72 hours after the rash appears, your doctor may prescribe antiviral medication. Some antiviral medications used to treat shingles include acyclovir (Zovirax), famciclovir (Famvir) and valacyclovir (Valtrex). Antiviral medications may help to reduce the risk of developing chronic (long-lasting) pain from shingles.
The skin rash and blisters should be rinsed gently once or twice per day with cool water. Your doctor may suggest that you use antibiotic ointment on open areas. Because the pain that accompanies shingles can be intense, your doctor probably will prescribe a pain medication.
For post-herpetic neuralgia, different medications are often prescribed for the pain that lingers well after the rash has gone away. These drugs alter the way pain signals are perceived by our central nervous system. Examples include amitriptyline (Elavil, Endep), doxepin (Adapin, Sinequan) and gabapentin (Neurontin).
When shingles affects the eyes, an eye specialist (ophthalmologist) should be consulted immediately.

How to tell time from the sun
without a clock or wrist-watch
THE BIBLE SAYS GOD PLACED LIGHTS IN THE SKY for "signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years" (Genesis 1:14).
Everyone knows the sun and moon can help tell us the seasons, days, and years. You can even use your wrist-watch to help you find direction if you are lost, and use flowers as a clock to help you tell time. But how can you use the sun or moon for "signs"?
Well, one way is to use the sun to work out the time of day without looking at a clock or your watch. You can turn yourself into a walking clock anywhere there is sunlight!
How to do it …
Start by noticing the three easiest points in the sky to locate:
- where the sun rises (east)
- where the sun sets (west)
- the point right above you (or between the sunrise and sunset points if the sun never actually appears right above you).
Let's say sunrise in your area is around 6 a.m. and sunset is around 6 p.m. That means that midway between where the sun rises and sets it will be noon. Just imagine the whole arch of the sky from horizon to horizon as being 12 hours. That's because it takes around 12 hours for the sun to go from sunrise in the east to sunset in the west. (From your perspective it looks like this, but we know the sun isn't actually moving; the earth is rotating and so the sun looks like it is moving.) When the sun is almost directly over your head, the time will be noon.
Because the sun always rises in the east and sets in the west, you will know that if the sun is between where it rose and your noon point (overhead), it is still morning. If it has passed your noon point it will be afternoon. Halfway between the eastern horizon and noon point will be 9 a.m.; halfway between noon and the west horizon will be 3 p.m.
It is easy to divide the sky into 12 imaginary sections of one hour each. Just use the eastern horizon as 6 o'clock in the morning, noon as directly overhead, and the western horizon as 6 o'clock in the evening. So 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. will be halfway between noon and a horizon.
- Use east, west, and over your head as 6 a.m., 6 p.m., and noon.
- Between 6 a.m. and overhead the middle point will be 9 a.m.
- Between overhead and 6 p.m. the middle point will be 3 p.m.
- In your mind, split those smaller sections into three equal slices of one-hour each.
This will give you the current hour, and with a bit of practice you will be able to get parts of the hour. You won't be able to get the exact minute this way, but it should get you to within about 15 minutes if your sky-dividing is good.
By the way, we shouldn't have to warn you, but we will anyway: Never look straight at the sun because it can damage your eyes.
With a little practice you can get good at working out the time, but even on your first try you will probably be more accurate than you thought. You may need to vary the times a little to allow for the country you are in and the season it is now. But the times given above are a good average and will get you close to the right time almost anywhere that isn't close to the north or south poles.

Five-Year Strategic Plan
Both our rivers and forests are essential to the health and well-being of Kentucky's ecosystem.
As the Conservancy enters a new decade, it moves forward with a renewed focus on conserving Kentucky's forests, freshwater resources and wildlife habitats. More than ever before, we will use science, traditional land protection strategies and our own place-based experience to influence policies that enrich Kentucky's biodiversity. This will be accomplished through four areas of strategic focus that best reflect the needs and opportunities for conservation success while enabling people to live, work and play throughout Kentucky in ways that sustain, rather than deplete, its unique natural assets.
Rivers for Life
Why We Care. The United States is the global center of freshwater species, which as a whole, are much more imperiled than terrestrial species. Kentucky harbors one of the nation's freshwater treasures, the Green River, which is considered the most biologically diverse tributary of the Ohio River Basin. The Green River contains an especially diverse concentration of aquatic diversity in an unhindered lOO-mile stretch flowing from the Green River Reservoir Dam through Mammoth Cave National Park, the longest and most diverse cave system on the planet This segment of the Green River harbors more than 150 fish species and more than 70 mussel species.
What We'll Do. The Conservancy will build on a long history of conservation in the Green River Watershed to protect and restore aquatic and riparian habitats and key ecological processes - the flow of water, the movement of nutrients and sediments, the function of floodplains and river corridors - that sustain freshwater systems across Kentucky, including in the Licking and Upper Cumberland River watersheds. In addition to on-the-ground work in the Green, Licking and Upper Cumberland watersheds, the Conservancy will work with private landowners, conservation partners and government agencies to advance policies that ensure these key processes continue to support biodiversity while providing clean water that meets the needs of local communities.
Healthy Forests
Why We Care. Nearly 50% of the state's land area is forested especially in Eastern Kentucky where the Appalachian Forest stretches across the southeastern United States to make up the most biologically diverse forest system in the temperate world These forested landscapes provide essential services to both humans and wildlife; filtering and cooling water, purifying air, providing habitat to key species and when managed sustainably, serving as a valuable natural resource.
In Kentucky, about one square mile (640 acres) of forest is lost per week to road creation, mining practices and urban development Reversing this trend will require traditional land conservation actions along with an increased focus on working with private landowners on sustainable land management practices.
What We'll Do. The Conservancy will identify and protect large, core areas of forest that expand existing protected sites with an emphasis on tracts having the potential to adapt to predicted changes in climate. The Conservancy will also develop a Working Forest Program that improves private forest management practices through forest certification and enhances the management of public lands such as the Daniel Boone National Forest.
Kentucky's Legacy
Why We Care. The Conservancy manages lands to conserve threatened and endangered species and habitats at more than 30 preserves and 1OO conservation easements located across Kentucky — ranging from the state's rugged mountains, valleys and ridge tops in the east... .to the flat bottomlands and sloughs in the west... .to the cave country and gently rolling Bluegrass Region in between. Each of these places contributes to a growing legacy of conservation achievements that require costly and continuous management to ensure that future generations benefit from the investments of current and past generations.
What We'll Do. The Conservancy will manage its preserves and conservation easement agreements to the highest standards and use them to catalyze increased stewardship of other private and public lands. The Conservancy will work with private landowners, conservation groups and public land management agencies to increase the capacity required to maintain and enhance the state's network of private and public conservation lands. We will continue to pursue land protection opportunities that forever protect representative examples of our uniquely Kentucky habitats, and will increasingly provide opportunities for the people of Kentucky to experience these special places.
Campaign for Kentucky's Lands and Waters
Why We Care. The lands and waters that sustain the people of Kentucky and harbor a richness of species and natural communities are increasingly threatened. In fact, it is estimated that Kentucky loses on average 136 acres of forest and 100 acres of farmland each day. More than 6,000 miles of streams in Kentucky are impaired Kentucky deserves better and The Conservancy, along with partners, is seeking an alternative future through the development of a land and water preservation fund.
What We'll Do. By the end of 2008, The Nature Conservancy had supported 164 successful conservation-related ballot measures at the state and local levels in every region of the United States. The Kentucky chapter will follow this lead by dedicating resources and staff time to mobilizing partner organizations and citizens committed to preserving Kentucky's cherished outdoor spaces for future generations. This will be done through establishing permanent funding sources that support the development of a blueprint for coordinating growth with conservation and long-term plan for conserving the best of the Bluegrass State.
At A Glance
Formally chartered in 1975 by a group of local citizens concerned with the state's rapidly disappearing natural lands and waters, The Nature Conservancy's Kentucky chapter has more than 7,000 members, employs a professional staff of 14 and has protected more than 40,000 acres of ecologically important lands in Kentucky and worked with private, state and federal partners to conserve more than 100,000 acres of additional lands.

On Friday, March 26, from 6-9PM, there will be a benefit concert at 3rd and Lindsley. The benefit concert is being put on by Ride For Reading (a non-profit organization that provides books to children of low-income families) and will feature artists such as Sean McConnell, Megan James, and Ashley Ray. Tickets are just $10 in advance, but if you wait to buy them at the door they'll be $15. To purchase tickets, click here.
"This is Ride For Reading's biggest fundraiser of the year. We're so excited to be able to share a night of great music for the sake of literacy in our community. It's going to be a great night." -- Mathew Portell - Founder of Ride for Reading
All proceeds from the concert will go towards Ride for Reading. Around 9:30 AM on Friday, March 26, Paragon Elementary School will be receiving a visit from cyclists of Ride for Reading. The students there will receive books from the organization.
Ride For Reading was established in February of 2008 by Mathew Portell, an avid bicyclist and 4th grade teacher. The goal of the organization is to distribute books to children who are unable to afford books of their own. So far the organization has donated over 15,000 books to children!
They are supported by several professional cyclists such as Erin Mirabella (a children's book author and Olympic cyclist) and Team Niner (a professional mountain bike team).
"I wanted to write children's books so I could share my Olympic experiences and lessons with kids. I want to share these with all kids, not just the ones who are lucky enough to have books at home and parents who read to them. Ride for Reading makes that possible. What better gift, than the gift of reading; through books you can give kids the whole world." -- Erin Mirabella
Ride For Reading is also partnered with some of Nashville's bike shops and other local, as well as national, businesses. They have been featured in The Tennessean, Nashville Parent, International Mountain Bike Magazine, Mountain Bike Action, and now Examiner! If you can't make it to the concert or would like to donate more money or books, click here.

The Visiting Hours are the second band you'll see tomorrow at LaSalle Power Co. These guys are newer to the game, they formed a year ago this month, but they are not to be taken lightly. Also, they love Roy Orbison and T.S. Eliot so they are clearly cool people. Check out this live video from their September Goose Island show, "The Beat That My Heart Skipped."
The video cannot be shown at the moment. Please try again later.
Tanner, drummer and vocalist extraodinaire, has personally assured me that their set is going to be rippin'. Don't know what else you need to know.

It's no surprise that Christian Siriano went big and bold for Spring 2011. The colors were bright, the heels were high, and the shapes were dramatic on the runways of the Lincoln Center Stage. Chunky platforms walked up and down the runway, with peep toes, t-straps, caged looks and more. (Look for them to be interpreted into a collection for Payless later.) Several metallic clutches complemented outfits, while several large ladylike leather bags were carried. The chain accents on the black skin bag kept the look tough.
Chunky metal choker necklaces complemented strapless dresses. Thick brown belts cinched waists. Sunglasses were big rectangles or circles. But a flowing, open leather jacket with a metallic trim stole the show.
Although neutral colors are back for spring, don't be afraid to shake things up with oversized, dramatic accessories. Angelenos should have no problem rocking big sunglasses, high heels and bold bags with their neutral dresses.
Check out the slideshow below for a closer look at the collection's accessories.

The garden offers the following services to provide visitors to the Idaho Botanical Garden with a pleasant and interesting experience.
The Garden Store
Located in the IBG Office, The Garden Store is filled with everything from garden tools to T-shirts and hats to wonderful gifts and souvenirs. Whether you need a piece of equipment to assist you in your garden or a special memento of your visit to the Garden, you will find it among the many wonderful items in The Garden Store. Proceeds benefit the Idaho Botanical Garden.
The Idaho Botanical Garden does not have indoor facilities at this time. Portable restrooms are provided for visitor use. Two basic portable restrooms are located on the south end of the brick road. Two additional portable restrooms (one is ADA accessible) are located to the south of the Garden Cottage next to the "Green Shed." The Garden's Master Plan includes a provision for permanent indoor restrooms as soon as funds can be raised. In the interim, we appreciate your understanding.
Nearly all of the Garden is accessible by wheelchairs, strollers, walkers and canes by using the available ramps (See Ramps section below), brick pathways and the mowed lawn areas. Two wheelchairs are provided free of charge and are located in the "Green Shed" on the west side of the Garden Cottage. IBG is grateful to St. Lukes Hospital for its generous donation of these two wheelchairs.
There are two ramps to assist visitors in traversing the Garden. To move from the lower Garden to the middle Garden, use the ramp that starts on the north side of the Cottage and circles the Herb Garden. Follow the path around the herbs and then turn right to cross the bridge and go up to the brick pathway. This will bring you right to the middle Garden. To view the Lewis and Clark Native Plant Garden, the Don Dick Outdoor Classroom and the Old Pen Cemetery, use the access ramp located on the east side of the upper parking lot. All of the ramps and walkways are ADA accessible and LESS than 5% grade.
Parking is available before you reach the Garden entrance in overflow parking lot. You may also park inside the Garden during regular Garden hours after paying admission in the Office or Kiosk. Buses are requested to park between the cinder block Root Cellar and 1901 Steam Plant found on the right side on the road inside the Garden.

Updos for the Holidays
This entry was posted on November 26, 2011.
We hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Can you believe that Christmas will be here before we know it?!
Christmas has us thinking about all of the different hair styles that are available. When you have a party to get ready for, for your company party or if you are going to a party hosted by friends, you want to look your best. There are so many hair styles to consider and play around with. If you feel comfortable curling and styling your hair, experiment with the following styles. However, if you prefer to have your hair stylist do it for you, you also have that option as well.
If you prefer to have some of your hair down in loose curls, consider the half up and half down hair do. Divide your hair into two sections. Taking the bottom section of your hair, divide it into smaller sections of about 1"-2" each. Curl each smaller section of hair until the entire layer of hair is curled.You can either lightly spray hairspray over your curled locks or leave them natural. They should hold in their curl.
Now it's time for the next step. With the top section of hair, you will be forming a bumped up hair look. To do this use bobby pins. Bobby pins effectively pin up the top section of your hair while forming the "bump." You now will have a chic hair updo that looks fabulous.
If you're going for something a little bit messier but still want an updo, start pinning up your straight hair on different sections of your head. Play with your hair until you find the desired style.
Keep your hair straightener near by because you might want to straighten strands of hair here and there. Depending on the look you are after, you can have hair frame your face or have your hair pulled back more.
There are several other updo's to consider when you're planning on getting all dressed up for your party. If you feel like you can't conquer the style on your own, consider having a hair stylist do it for you. Or, if you have a friend who is familiar with updo's have them come over to your home and play with your hair. You never know what you may come up! Your hair is going to look fabulous this holiday season.

Comments about Men's Eddie Bauer Departure Slip-On:
Very comfortable on my feet
Comments about Men's Eddie Bauer Departure Slip-On:
I wear a 9 1/2 D/M in shoes in dress and casual shoes. I bought a 9 1/2 but it was a bit too snug, so I exchanged it for a 10M. I enjoy the fit and comfort. It took a bit to break them in, but not long.
I like the shoe, have bought them in both colors and additional pairs.
Comments about Men's Eddie Bauer Departure Slip-On:
I normally wear a size 10-1/2 shoe, but ordered an 11 just in case, and it fits just right. You might want to order a half size larger for the right fit. these are very comfortable.
Comments about Men's Eddie Bauer Departure Slip-On:
The Departure Slip-Ons are a nicely built shoe. They look nice enough to wear to work or nice events, and have a massaging top on the insoles for extra comfort. I really wanted to like them. Unfortunately, on my feet the toe box ended up being too narrow. I've tried both the 13 and 14 sizes and in both cases the outside of my big toe kept rubbing uncomfortably on the inner leather to the point where I can't wear them. My feet run a tad wide, so these will probably work for the majority of people.
Guys - if you are (like me) someone who would wear a 13.5 if available, size up. The 14s are a much better fit than the 13s.

Today will be the warmest day out of the next seven, so plan your outside time right now!
Highs will reach the mid 70s today with partly cloudy skies. Winds will come out of the south up to 15mph.
Tonight, we'll see mild conditions with partly cloudy skies and temps only dropping to the mid 50s.
Friday, highs will only reach the upper 60s with a chance for showers and thunderstorms. Rain looks likely the later we head into the afternoon.
Behind the rain is much cooler air. Saturday morning for the Race for the Cure, a few lingering showers are still possible as we start the morning out around 40 degrees!
Highs for the weekend will only warm into the mid to upper 50s. After the chance for morning rain Saturday, the rest of the weekend dries out.
By next Wednesday, highs in the 70s will be coming our way!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Deanna Actually works well. I was unsure when purchasing this product but am pleased with the end result. I would recommend using a king mattress pad with this product. November 24, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by Shopperz Handy way to make two twin beds one king I bought this for our vacation rental to offer guests the ability to have one king instead of two twin beds. It works as advertised & makes the king bed a fairly easy option. One thing to be sure of though is that the extra belt length is on the outside after you put it on the bed. Ours came with the extra on the inside which allowed the whole thing to loosen up after pulling taut on our first use. If this happens to you, just re-pull through the end opposite the buckle to correct. Works perfect! January 18, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by lindor easy to put together We know have a king bed for guests! The attachment worked great. You don't even see a line. April 25, 2012

September 26, 2007
Dr. Donald Poulton announced he will retire from his position as orthodontic program director on Oct. 10, 2007 after 26 years of service. He will continue to lecture and serve as a clinical advisor on orthodontic topics at the dental school one day a week.
"Dr. Poulton is one of the most well known and respected orthodontists in the West Coast," said Dr. Robert Boyd, Pacific's chair of the department of orthodontics. "He has shaped the lives and careers of countless dental students and we have been fortunate to have him as part of the Pacific family."
An Oakland resident and orthodontist in Alameda County for 40 years, Poulton joined the dental school in 1981 as chair and professor of the department of orthodontics. His dedication to dental education has earned him numerous awards and citations, including the California State Society of Orthodontists' Distinguished Service Award and Pacific's Medallion of Distinction, the dental school Alumni Association's highest honor.
Poulton has held leadership positions with several professional orthodontic organizations and served as president of the American Association of Orthodontists, the Pacific Coast Society of Orthodontists and the Edward H. Angle Society of Northern California. Additionally, he was a consultant for the American Dental Association Commission on Dental Accreditation in 1981.
Poulton has authored numerous of articles on a wide variety of orthodontic topics and has made countless presentations to dental organizations nationally and internationally, in countries such as Germany, Israel, Switzerland, Italy, Korea and Singapore.
Poulton earned his DDS degree and orthodontic certificate from UCSF School of Dentistry, where he also served as chair of postdoctoral orthodontics. Shortly after completing his dental education, Poulton was appointed to the National Institute of Dental Research in Bethesda, Maryland, as an investigator in orthodontics. He operated private specialty dentistry practices in Alameda and Oakland from 1958 to 1998.

Being in both a high tech and creative industry I get to see a lot of cool stuff, and even better get to work with some truly inspiring individuals. Many of whom are unsung heroes of product design, photography, visual effects, etc. People behind the scenes making the visuals that stimulate our minds every day. Oh, I forgot to mention Comic strip artists! Yes, comic strip artists or better known as cartoonists. And who better captures the essence of technology and art than Scott Adams, the creator and artistic mastermind behind the beloved strip, Dilbert.
I was inspired to write this post recently after reading a bit on Scott's blog. In short, Scott talked about putting himself in a creative position or mood. There is more to that story, but this is the part that spurred me to write this post.
It was a reminder to me that Wacom technology is in the hands of great artists and the medium for beautiful work. Scott may snicker at the thought of his work being beautiful, but it IS art. And unlike other forms of art, you are supposed to laugh at this kind.
The article was also a reminder of a story that the Washington post wrote about Scott Adams and his use of a Cintiq "many" years ago. Many, in tech-years can be 2-3 but in this case it was 2005! I suppose that is like many-many-years ago. Anyway, in the article, Scott explains that he suffers from a neurological movement disorder called Focal Dystonia. This disorder affects his ability to hold a pencil properly, which severely limited his ability to draw with his dominant, right hand. This condition of course could have signaled the end of a career for some, however Scott was able to continue working by teaching himself to draw with his left hand while he underwent a long stint of physical therapy to recondition his right.
This process somewhat eased the pain, but it was not ideal, nor sustainable for the rest of his life. Enter the Cintiq interactive pen display. Eager to find relief, Scott searched for solutions online (where else?!) and discovered the Cintiq interactive pen display. For those not in-the-know, a Cintiq is a pressure-sensitive display that enables you to draw directly on-screen. For artists like Scott, a Cintiq combined with an application like Adobe Photoshop is the quintessential digital pencil and paper.
Using a Cintiq and Photoshop, Scott was able to work using less hand-pressure with pen-to-screen and at a larger scale. This combination lessened the tendency to trigger the neurological disorder that would cause his fingers to spasm and freeze up. Better yet, it enabled him to preserve the integrity of his work. That was 8 years ago. Today Scott nestles into his comfy chair in front of a Cintiq 24HD and creates his daily in style.
So what is the moral of this story? I don't know that there is any one moral to take away, but to me it is enlightening in a number of ways. 1) However cliché', where there is a will, there is a way. 2) Passion fuels solutions and victories. 3) Even one's passion can be arduous at times. 4) Wacom produces cool tech that enables people to realize their creative vision.

Some people know what they want to be when they grow up from a very early age. Writer-composer-producer Gardner Cole started playing drums at age 3, piano at 5, guitar at 8 and bass guitar at 9. He was in 3 different bands with 3 different styles at 14 and by 16, he began to write and produce songs for himself and other artists.
Hailing from the small town of Davison, Michigan, Gardner was heavily influenced by Motown. After graduating from Davison High School, he attended Berklee College of Music, Boston and moved to Los Angeles to pursue a successful music career.
At 52, Gardner Cole has proven his musical prowess in building a legendary career as a songwriter, composer, producer and recording artist. He has collaborated with music industry giants in a variety of genres including Madonna, Nile Rodgers, Michael McDonald, The Jacksons, Amy Grant, Tina Turner, Adam Ant, James Newton-Howard, Al Jarreau, Tom Jones, Sister Sledge and more.
Gardner's long list of professional achievements via his website profiles someone who could easily lead a songwriting and producing master class.
His songs have been recorded on Grammy winning and AMA winning albums and Grammy and AMA nominated albums. His enormous body of prestigious music awards includes 63 Platinum Album Awards, 21 Gold Album Awards, 2 Dove Awards, 2 NARAS Awards, 4 Billboard Music Awards, 8 BMI Awards in 3 different categories and a Los Angeles Songwriters Showcase award, to name a few.
In 1988, Gardner was the number 2 Billboard songwriter, with 6 charted singles (a really impressive feat!) and his songs have been featured in a variety of TV shows and films including "Glee," "The Oprah Winfrey Show," "American Bandstand," "Solid Gold," the 2012 Super Bowl Halftime Show, "Days of Thunder," "Dying Young," "Coming to America" and many, many more.
He co-wrote the number one smash hit single "Open Your Heart" with Madonna and Peter Rafelson and his fellow Michigan native music partner, Madonna, performed it following the historical 33 weddings that took place at this year's 56th Annual Grammy Awards.
In 2013, he launched Kaleidosphere Records with his partner, Sara Cooper. In this exciting endeavor, Gardner gets to pay some of his success forward by helping to locate, shape and mentor new, undiscovered artists. Kaleidosphere's mission is to "develop" instead of "manufacture" artists with its focus succinctly captured in its signature slogan "It's all about the music."
After more than three decades of making spectacular creative contributions, Gardner's passion for music remains unwavering. In 2014, the writing and producing mogul will release a new Adult Contemporary/Pop solo album from Warner-Chappell Music.
While Gardner's career has reached dizzying heights and he arguably must possess some sort of musical super power, he's also a devoted husband to his wife, Cristiana (who is a musician and visual artist), and their two young sons, Kingston and Jasper.
Gardner Cole remains a local hero and inspiration, as well as one of Michigan's biggest and brightest examples of someone who broke out of small town America and worked tirelessly and passionately to make his dreams come true.
Gardner graciously took time out of his demanding schedule to discuss his prolific career in the following Examiner exclusive Q & A interview.
E: You're an iconic songwriter that hails from a small town in Michigan. Tell us a little about your journey leading up to your first big break. Were there times you were afraid you'd fail? What kept you going?
GC: I've always loved music, and there were times when I felt it was the only thing that was always there for me. With that mindset, I was shocked when I realized I could actually make a living doing something that I loved!
E: How did growing up near Motown influence your writing and artistry?
GC: Being around Motown instilled an incredible sense of melody in me at a young age. They're still playing those songs all these years later for a reason, they have great melodies.
E: Now, you're located in Arizona. Tell us about your family. How long have you been married? How old are the boys? Are they musically inclined at all? Do you get back home to visit much?
GC: I've been in Arizona since 1997, I moved here because my wife Cristiana grew up in Litchfield Park (Just west of Phoenix). We've been together for 18 years and have two sons, one is 7 and one is 2. They both have natural music and art abilities; my wife is an accomplished drummer and gallery level visual artist so they get creativity from both sides. We were back in Michigan 3 years ago and plan on visiting soon. My son loved the big open fields and lakes.
E: Who are your biggest musical influences?
GC: Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Michael Jackson, Led Zeppelin, Steely Dan, Earth Wind & Fire to name a few.
E: What songs are currently on your iPod playlist?
GC: Best of Queen, Lorde, Cage The Elephant, Artic Monkeys, Vampire Weekend, Imagine Dragons, One Republic, Ellie Goulding, Zedd, Daft Punk
E: You've written hundreds of songs. Do you have a favorite?
GC: Yes, "Say Once More" by Amy Grant
E: Would you consider working with Amy again?
GC: I'd love to write with her again, I may try to put that in motion this year.
E: Do you have a favorite collaboration?
GC: Michael McDonald is an amazing person to work with. His voice is so amazing and he's the nicest guy you'll ever meet.
E: Is there anyone you haven't worked with, that you'd like to work with?
GC: I'd love to work with Bjork. I love what she can do with her voice.
E: Your songs have appeared in many films and TV shows. "Open Your Heart" has been featured on "Glee" and preceded the recent Grammy weddings. Are you a "Glee" fan? How did you feel having the song lead such a historical Grammy occasion?
GC: I love "Glee" and was very saddened to hear of Cory Monteith's passing. I didn't know Madonna was going to perform our song on the Grammy show, I also didn't know she was going to perform it at the Super Bowl Half-time show either. It's been a huge honor to hear our song being used at such internationally viewed shows. It's amazing to think of how many generations have embraced that song.
E: You just signed a new contract with Warner-Chappell Music, is this in a writing capacity and will you put out your own record?
GC: Yes, it is a worldwide song administration deal and I am going to release a new album in 2014.
E: What do draw inspiration from as a writer?
GC: I am always affected by the events of my life around me, including my relationships with those I love. My sons have been very inspiring to me lately.
E: Which comes first, music or lyrics?
GC: Most of my songs come to me from a dreamlike state, and the melody and lyric usually come together, followed by the musical arrangement.
E: What do you think about reality singing competitions? Are they important in terms of tapping into unknown talent out there? Have you followed any artists emerging from one of these shows?
GC: I think they're great. They bring exposure and opportunities to many [people] that wouldn't have them any other way. I did work with a girl group that was made up of various vocal contest winners called "Arrowheart."
E: Let's talk about Kaleidosphere. What was your vision in starting the label?
GC: We started with the premise of bringing back the old style of labels actually investing in artist development. The major labels today just wait for talent to work their way up the chain and grab them when they're already at the top.
E: How many artists are you producing right now?
GC: We have 6 acts that we're currently in the process of developing. We will be showcasing some of them at the Ultra Music Festival this March in Miami.
E: What do you look for in an artist?
GC: Originality and conviction. You have to really want this as a career for it to work.
E: What kind of advice do you have for small town aspiring singer/songwriters? How tough do you think it is to make it and what does it take to succeed?
GC: If you do music for the love of it, the success will come to you eventually. If you focus on what is unique about you, and develop that aspect, you will have a much better chance at succeeding than trying to emulate someone else.
E: Do you have a mantra for your own life?
GC: Never, ever, ever give up!

The first symptoms may simply be nausea, sudden weakness, hiccups, or chest pain. Seemingly innocuous, these can be the first signs that a blood clot is preventing blood flow to the brain, causing a stroke. Welcome to the primary cause of death in Minnesota and the third leading cause of death in the United States. Fortunately, there are at least a dozen stroke centers located within the Twin Cities metro area, including North Memorial's certified Stroke Center.
North Memorial was the first Minnesota hospital to be recognized and certified as a Primary Stroke Center. "The center is more than just a physical place," says Dr. Irfan Altafullah, its director. "We developed a whole suite of services from the time a patient comes to the emergency room." These efforts, he says, have improved how quickly patients are processed and how quickly they get the treatment they need. And when it comes to stroke patients, timing is everything.
The center also offers patients a separate unit so they can be around other stroke patients and, more importantly, cared for by nurses specifically trained in neurologic care in a neurologic ICU setting. The care team creates rehabilitation and care plans that reach well beyond the hospital stay and include a specialized program for families of stroke patients.
"Nurse educators inform patients, caregivers, and families about reducing the risk for future strokes," Altafullah says, because recognizing the signs of stroke as they happen saves lives. So does changing lifestyle habits to prevent a stroke in the first place: don't smoke; don't eat foods high in sodium, sugar, trans fats, and cholesterol; and don't skimp on regular exercise.
Beyond caring for current patients, Altafullah and his team are looking to the future. Knowing that rapid treatment of strokes saves lives and greatly reduces brain damage, the center is involved in clinical trials for using hypothermia to treat stroke victims. Hypothermia already is used as a treatment for cardiac arrest.
"We've known for a long time that hypothermia protects the brain," Altafullah says. "We are testing the hypothesis that cooling the brain during a stroke will improve the outcome." There are two ways to induce hypothermia in a patient: using cooling blankets (think the opposite of an electric blanket) to cool the skin, and injecting cool fluid into the veins to internally cool the body, preventing shivers that occur with external cooling. Either way, it's a potential game-changer for future stroke victims.

SEATTLE — When she was 13, Ashley Howes was charged with killing a toddler she had been baby-sitting at a West Seattle home.
A judge ultimately dismissed the murder charge in 2005, ruling that Seattle police detectives violated Howes' Fifth Amendment rights by not advising her of her Miranda rights and not giving her a chance to have her parents present when she was questioned.
Although Howes is now 21, married and living in Port Townsend, the scars she bears from being detained, questioned and charged have not faded, says her attorney Lincoln Beauregard. "The damage they did by charging her and dragging her through this ruined her life."
On Tuesday, the city of Seattle agreed to pay Howes $215,000 to settle a federal lawsuit she filed in 2011 against the city and four of the detectives who questioned her during the homicide investigation.
The city and the police department did not comment on the settlement.
Even after the criminal charge was dropped, Howes was shunned and taunted for years by classmates, who called her a "baby killer," according to the lawsuit. She began to cut herself and attempted suicide at least seven times, including once when she attempted to slit her own throat, the lawsuit claims.
Howes, of Suquamish in Kitsap County, was a friend of the toddler's Port Townsend family and had accompanied them to Seattle as a mother's helper and baby sitter for a holiday weekend in January 2005.
According to a police report, Howes was baby-sitting Freya Garden, 19 months, and her 5-year-old sister on Jan. 16, when the younger child collapsed around 5:30 p.m. Paramedics took the toddler to Harborview Medical Center, where she died the next morning.
Howes was at the hospital with the toddler's family when police learned that the toddler had injuries consistent with shaken-baby syndrome, according to court documents.
The teen was taken to the police department after being told that arrangements were being made to get her back to her home, according to the lawsuit naming the city of Seattle and four Seattle police detectives.
Over the next 19 hours, the teen was repeatedly questioned and asked how she had hurt the toddler. She was not advised of her Miranda rights or given a chance to talk to her parents even after her repeated requests, according to the lawsuit.
Howes was not told until she had been arrested that the toddler had died and that she was a suspect, court documents say.
"This is a 13-year-old girl who was kept isolated for a day and a half, interrogated up to 10 times by different people, told that she had killed the baby and ignored twice when she asked for her parents," her defense attorney, Bryan Hershman, said in 2005.
Howes was charged in juvenile court with second-degree murder.
Prosecutors said in charging documents that Howes admitted to shaking the toddler "once" while giving her a bath and that detectives believed the toddler's head might have struck the hard edge of a soap holder.
An autopsy determined that Freya had brain damage, burst blood vessels and bruising caused by internal bleeding. No one has been convicted in her death.
Beauregard said his client did not want to talk about the settlement or the criminal case.
"She wants the world to know she is innocent," he said. "She was painted as a baby killer and she is going to live with that scar for the rest of her life."
