Hope Solo and Jerramy Stevens got married Tuesday, a day after Stevens was arrested in Kirkland, Wash. on suspicion of committing fourth-degree assault on Solo, injuring her elbow during a party that turned into a brawl.
The ex-Seattle Seahawk and soccer star dated for all of two months before taking the plunge. They supposedly argued over where they would live.
Apparently they've decided.
"Events of yesterday morning didn't change plans," Mahler tweeted, referring to Stevens' arrest. Stevens spent the night in jail and was released later Tuesday after a judge decided there wasn't enough evidence to charge him.)
The King County records office confirmed to E! News that the pair applied for a marriage license last Thursday.
Although Hope herself has yet to tweet about her purported wedding, her Team USA soccer teammate, Jillian Loyden, appeared to hint at the nuptials. "Happy to witness such an amazing celebration of real love #selflesslove #fewandfarbetween," she tweeted early Wednesday morning.
If that's real love, I'd hate to see what happens if they decide they no longer like each other.

Don't Wash Your Jeans!
By mbcrew June 30, 2011.
Nudie and Edwin, both jeans we stock, recommends that you don't wash your raw denim/dry denim for at least three months, if not longer (Nudie recommends six months). But why? Well, it's all about breaking the jeans in. Some people find this a massive challenge while others, love it! It give's your jeans life. Makes them completely unique to you and no one else. The folk at Nudie says it best:
Breaking in a pair of dry jeans is a journey lasting six months. The outcome depends on how you travel. Sitting around in the office won't grace the denim as much as if used while repairing motorcycles. Regardless of your lifestyle, your jeans become a log of the months gone by – you might even end up with a few amusing anecdotes referring to different stains, abrasions, or scrapings.
WHEN YOU'VE COME this far, you and your new stiff dry's will have gone from being separate entities to a unity – a second skin.
Now, for some people, this could be a little odd. …What about the smell? The bacteria? The odd spillage of chilli sauce? Well, worry no longer. Josh Le, 20, bought a pair of Nudie Jeans and didn't wash his for 15 months. Below is a news feature by Elise Stolte from Canada's National Post that will hopefully convince the sceptics that the process is perfectly safe and healthy!
Despite the yuck factor, wearing raw denim jeans for 15 months straight without washing them doesn't pose any health risks for healthy people, according to a student-professor team that tested a pair of those jeans at the University of Alberta.
Josh Le, 20, bought a pair of Nudie Jeans in September 2009. He wore them nearly every day and even slept in them for about a month to really let the sweat shape the creases. He spilled food on it, wiped it off with a paper towel, and kept on going. "I wanted to push it to the extreme," he said.
But when Le and assistant human ecology professor Rachel McQueen swabbed the inside of the jeans and tested them for bacteria in December 2010, they found levels pretty normal. And after Le washed the jeans, then wore them for 13 days before re-testing them, bacteria levels were nearly identical.
The pair showed off the results on campus Wednesday.
"I was pleasantly surprised," said McQueen. "What I found was just normal skin flora. The counts were really, really similar. The bacteria load from the swabbed areas were pretty much the same."

The New Yorker's Nancy Franklin pans Ken Burns' The War.
They've taken a subject that is inexhaustible and made it merely exhausting.

Hurricanes hold off Illini
Published: Sunday, March 24, 2013 at 11:42 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, March 24, 2013 at 11:42 p.m.
AUSTIN, Texas — Shane Larkin hit a go-ahead 3-pointer with a minute left and Miami kept possession on a ball knocked out of bounds that probably should have gone to Illinois, helping the Hurricanes hold on for a 63-59 victory Sunday night to advance to the NCAA round of 16.
After Larkin's first field goal in about 9 1/2 minutes, D.J. Richardson missed a 3-pointer. In the fight for the rebound, the ball appeared to ricochet off the hands of Miami's Kenny Kadji out of bounds. But the Hurricanes kept the ball, and Durand Scott made two free throws after that.
Miami (29-6) is in the round of 16 for only the second time in school history. The Hurricanes play Marquette (25-8) in Washington D.C. on Thursday night.
Larkin, the only non-senior starter for Miami and the ACC player of the year, finished with 17 points. Rion Brown had 21 with five 3 s.
Brandon Paul had 18 points for Illionis (23-13) .

How to Avoid Getting Sick from Your Guy
Aiming to lose one percent of your bodyweight per week will keep you on track and keep your confidence up. So if you're 150 pounds, you should focus on losing 1.5 pounds per week.
Every body is different, but losing weight little by little (instead of a ton at once) also prevents sagging skin. Another way to keep your skin tight: Hit the gym. Working out increases circulation which improves skin elasticity.

Council's right not to rush on city manager Is Raleigh getting it?
Published: Sunday, December 9, 2012 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, December 7, 2012 at 6:32 p.m.
Hendersonville City Council made the right move Thursday in appointing former Waynesville Town Manager A. Lee Galloway as interim city manager to give the city time to conduct a thorough search to fill the position.
City Manager Bo Ferguson is resigning at the end of the year to become deputy city manager over operations in Durham. Ferguson has done an outstanding job in his almost five years here. The city should take its time to fill what everybody agrees are large shoes.
In his all-too-short time in Hendersonville, Ferguson proved himself to be both thoroughly professional and open, approachable and down to earth. Durham officials cited his expertise in organizational leadership, community relations, public participation, intergovernmental relations and prudent fiscal management in choosing him for his new job.
Proof of his financial skills came in the form of an audit report Council received Thursday night. The city has $40 million in cash reserves, which amounts to about 52 percent of its annual operating budget. The state requires municipalities to maintain a minimum fund balance of 8 percent.
For top-notch administrators such as Ferguson, the road to advancement usually leads to larger cities. As deputy city manager over operations in Durham, he will oversee about two-thirds of the citys workforce 2,200 staff in a city with 228,330 residents and a budget of $373.2 million. Thats a big jump from Hendersonville, which has about 13,278 residents, 200 full-time employees and a budget of $25.8 million.
Council members were unanimous in singing Fergusons praises. Councilman Jerry Smith said he understands the importance of the role of local government in an average persons life. Bo did an excellent job of taking the concerns of Hendersonville residents as well as county residents to heart in leading them to a bright future.
Hiring Galloway, an award-winning manager who retired in June after 39 years in local government, will allow the city to conduct a thorough search for the right person to fill the job. With all Hendersonville has going for it, the city should attract a talented pool of applicants. Council should aim to find a new manager who, like Ferguson, values public involvement and openness someone with the skills, experience and temperament to lead Hendersonville into its next chapter.
So a General Assembly committee studying illegal immigration wrapped up a year of meetings Thursday by recommending no new legislative action other than urging Washington to do more, The Associated Press reports.
Latino advocates had feared the House Select Committee on the States Role in Immigration Policy would follow GOP-controlled legislatures in Arizona, South Carolina, Alabama and Georgia to push tough new laws targeting illegal immigrants, APs Emery P. Dalesio reported. But the seven Republicans and five Democrats on the panel decided that wasnt such a good idea.
Maybe they heard how farmers across the state and nation are having trouble finding enough migrant laborers to pick their crops. Or perhaps they read the latest U.S. Census data estimating that North Carolinas Hispanic population fell from about 800,000 in 2010, or 8.4 percent of the states total population, to about 765,000 in 2011, or 8.1 percent. Nationwide, the Census shows illegal immigration has dropped to about 11.1 million last year from a peak of 12 million in 2007. The decline has been attributed to a weakened U.S. economy, stronger enforcement and an aging Mexican population.
Maybe lawmakers are seeing the folly in scapegoating otherwise law-abiding workers who are here, trying to provide for their families, doing jobs most Americans wont do. But the more likely explanation is political. Its no secret that Hispanics were key to the re-election of President Barack Obama. Politicians are discovering that alienating the nations fastest growing demographic is a bad idea.
Whatever the reason, legislators seem to be realizing what we have been saying for years: Illegal immigration is a national issue that requires a comprehensive federal solution.
Its a very emotional issue on both sides, and weve got to try to hold that rhetoric off and look at things that benefit the economy, treat people respectfully, and in some cases, address some symptoms now whose problem is really rooted in federal policy, House Speaker Thom Tillis, R-Mecklenburg, told the Wilmington Star-News.
Sounds like Raleigh is getting the message.

Letter to State Department Regarding the Death of Arafat Jaradat

Dear Acting President Maduro and the people of Venezuela,
The National Lawyers Guild expresses our deep condolences for the loss of President Chavez. We were heartened to witness his impressive election victory five months ago.
The National Lawyers Guild writes to express its opposition to the nomination of John Brennan to head the Central Intelligence Agency. As President Obama's current counter-terrorism adviser, Brennan bears responsibility for the administration's drone program, which is killing civilians and sowing anti-American sentiment throughout the world. Brennan also stands accused of having detailed, contemporaneous knowledge of the use of "enhanced interrogation techniques" on captured terrorism suspects during the Bush administration. The impact and legality of the drone program and the extent of Brennan's involvement in the Bush torture program should be central questions at his Senate Intelligence Committee confirmation hearing.
Dear Ms. Gould:
The National Lawyers Guild (NLG) applauds you and the Brooklyn College Political Science Department for your support of an open discussion of the growing campus movement for Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) against Israel. Your stand is especially important in light of the recent attempts to intimidate you and the department into canceling the event. Efforts to pressure the Brooklyn College administration to cancel the panel run contrary to the values enshrined in the First Amendment and they are an affront to the principles of academic freedom.
The National Lawyers Guild, in collaboration with the Center for Constitutional Rights and others, is providing legal support for Palestine solidarity activism.
A just-released National Lawyers Guild (NLG) report finds that the 2012 presidential election which reseated Venezuela President Hugo Chávez was conducted fairly and accountably.
NLG President Azadeh Shahshahani was a part of the delegation that monitored the October voting.
The UN Human Rights Council chooses its Special Rapporteurs based on their knowledge of the issue, their commitment to human rights, and crucially, their independence.
The National Lawyers Guild calls for an immediate halt to the Israeli bombardment of Gaza and demands that the U.S. government immediately cease all aid to Israel. The NLG calls for further action by the U.N. Security Council, General Assembly, and Human Rights Council to protect the civilian population of Gaza, to oppose the bombardment, and to oppose any further escalation.
At the 2012 Law for the People Convention in Pasadena, the National Executive Committee (the NLG's board of directors) voted unanimously to adopt a sexual harassment complaint policy. The policy covers a range of forms of harassment, including but not limited to unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual and/or coercive nature.
Earlier this year Vodak v. City of Chicago, a class action lawsuit resulting from false arrests at a 2003 anti-war protest, settled for $6.2 Million.

USA, 2013, 85 Minute Running Time
Genre/Subjects: Biographical, Documentary, Music
Program: DocumentaryLanguage: English
Marvin Hamlisch followed his passion and made it happen. In turn he inspired all who have heard his music to find joy in life. He was accepted into Juilliard at age six to study classical piano, but he had a crusade to get Gershwin and Cole Porter into the concert halls.
In a time before Broadway musicals remade films, composers like Hamlisch captured the essence of the era. A Chorus Line spoke to a 1970s New York yearning for a rebirth and a generation seeking individualism. Hamlisch revised "I Hope I Get It" until it not only represented that desperate struggle experienced by hundreds of hopeful performers pursuing their dream of becoming a Broadway sensation, but also the strife of any one person trying to make a mark in a unending sea of conformity. There were 21 curtain calls on opening night.
This documentary is also a perfect crash course on how important music is in being the "emotion lotion" of film. Cinematic synaethesia is the combining of an image and sound to create meaning that individually represented would not have the same effect. Everyone is familiar with the song "The Way We Were"; very magical on its own, however, Hamlisch insisted (despite the cost even if it came out of his own pocket) that he could redo the cue at the end of the film coinciding with Barbra Streisand touching Robert Redford's hair. The result is one of cinema's most iconic moments.
The above are just two examples of his epic résumé. He made no apologies in doing whatever made him absolutely happy. Those interviewed in this doc (Streisand and Liza Minnelli, among others) not only reflect on his contribution to Broadway and film, but on his philosophy of life. As Rupert Holmes observed, "When Marvin passed, it was like the circus had left town." Indeed, things haven't seemed as much fun since.

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. -- Martin Kaymer and Jordan Spieth are having a blast at The Players Championship -- one because he's playing good golf again, the other because that's all he's been doing.
Kaymer followed his record-tying 63 on the Stadium Course on the TPC Sawgrass with a 3-under 69. He had a one-shot lead going into the weekend as he tries to end more than two years without a victory. "Everything is coming together nicely," said Kaymer, a former PGA champion and world No. 1.
Spieth, runner-up at the Masters, hasn't shown any signs of a letdown. He pieced together another bogey-free round and converted pure swings into tap-in birdies on consecutive holes on the back nine that carried him to a 6-under 66.
"I don't think it's going to be possible to stay bogey-free for two more rounds with the greens firming up," Spieth, making his Players Championship debut, said.
Kaymer was at 12-under 132. That matched the best 36-hole score on the Stadium Course at the TPC Sawgrass in 20 years, dating to Greg Norman's record-setting performance.
Spieth hasn't made a bogey all week -- he has gone 51 holes without a bogey going back to the third round at Hilton Head (South Carolina).
The 20-year-old Texan was still on the practice range when he saw Kaymer finish at 12 under, a score that felt impossible to catch in warm, blustery weather. The grass remained soft on the golf course, however, allowing players to take aim at the flags.
Adam Scott, in his first tournament as a married man, kept alive his hopes of going to No. 1 in the world this week with three birdies in his last four holes for a 67. That was a 10-shot improvement from Thursday and enabled him to make the cut on the number at even-par 144.
Rory McIlroy shot 42 on the front nine and appeared headed home until making birdie on the 18th hole to salvage a 74 to make the cut.
Not so fortunate was Phil Mickelson. He missed his birdie attempt on No. 18 and had a 70 to miss by one.
Spieth had to scramble for par from short of the ninth green and from behind the 10th green. He hit his stride in the middle of the back nine with two shots that were nearly identical -- a 6-iron on the par-3 13th that rode the ridge down to about 4 feet, and a 6-iron from 184 yards on the 14th to 3 feet.
Russell Henley didn't make a par over his last six holes -- three bogeys, three birdies -- for a 71 and was in third place at 8-under 136. Sergio Garcia (71), U.S. Open champion Justin Rose (71), Gary Woodland (71), Lee Westwood (71) and Jim Furyk (68) were six shots behind.

Cellectis buys Cellartis
Paris – For €16.4m in cash and roughly €12m in shares, French genome engineering specialist Cellectis has taken over Swedish Cellartis. Cellartis is the European leader in stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes and hepatocytes. With 62 employees, it earned €3.8m in 2010." The acquisition of Cellartis will enable Cellectis to gain a leadership position in the very promising field of stem cells", said Thomas Devedjian, Director and Member of the Executive Committee of the FSI. The FSI or Strategic Investment Fund, is a strategic investment tool of the French State. Together with private investor Pierre Bastid, the FSI will cough up €50m to finance the move. Cellectis wants to become the world leader in stem cell-derived in vitro R&D tools and related technologies. Cellartics value for Celelctis is based on two main pillars. The Swedes own the largest stem cell bank in the world (30 proprietary lines) and in 10 years have built a considerable expertise and two certified production sites in Sweden and Scotland. The second pillar is the research collaborations with partners like Novo Nordisk and the French Blood Agency.

Good morning and welcome to Summit Up, the world's only daily column that is ready for some good food!
Seriously, Summit's got some good eats (we're thinking Tuscato and Begalis for Italian, J.J.'s for Chinese, Hacienda Real in Frisco and Taqueria La Perla in Silverthorne for great Mexican, Lost Cajun for Creole authenticity and the Euro Deli is true to its name in offering European sandwich delights ... and we hear that La Petite Paris can broaden your gastronomical horizons for French food) but we're longing for some of that cheap, cultural food you can get in the big cities.
Even Denver specializes in the American fare that all seems to blend together eventually.
Mind you, we left off some of the upper-echelon eateries, mostly in Breckenridge, which have some phenomenal, creative chefs who change up their menus and provide delectable delights for the palette.
Thing is, we're looking for that Middle Eastern kebab joint that makes a killer gyro. And what about a Greek restaurant that can dole out some baklava, spanakopita and authentic tzatziki sauce? Mmmm ...
Even a true Philadelphia cheesesteak can be tough to come by, as seemingly everyone west of the Mississippi feels the need to put their own spin on the good ol' Cheez Whiz and fatty steak recipe, the one that comes when you order at Pat's or Geno's: "Whiz wit" or "Whiz witout." Meaning: "I'll have a cheesesteak with onions and mushrooms and no, I won't have provolone cheese instead of the Cheez Whiz, thank you very much."
If you said all that, you'd go to the back of the line. Seriously. With that, we out to find some good eats!

Restaurant Claims Prompt Push for Standardized 'Gluten-Free' Labeling
Can pizza be "gluten-free," yet maybe still contain some gluten?
That's the controversy Domino's Pizza sparked last week when it launched a new "gluten-free crust" pizza — but said it was designed for people with mild gluten sensitivity, not those with celiac disease who must avoid even minute quantities. While the crust was made without gluten, a protein found in wheat, rye and barley, Domino's said it couldn't guarantee that each handmade pizza would be completely gluten-free.
So today, the North American Society for the Study of Celiac Disease, or NASSCD, a year-old organization of physicians and scientists, called Domino's announcement — widely touted on Twitter and elsewhere– "a complete exploitation" of the term.
"Our position is that a product is either gluten free or it is not," NASSCD president Stefano Guandalini said in a statement calling for the standardization of gluten-free labeling by the food industry. "Marketing a product to be 'sort-of' gluten free or 'low' gluten is completely useless for those who require the strict diet."
A spokesman for Domino's said he couldn't comment immediately.
The NASSCD noted that, in contrast, Chuck E. Cheese's new gluten-free pizza will arrive from the manufacturer in sealed bags that are opened by customers only once the pizza is served to guard against possible cross-contamination.
(A separate group, the National Foundation for Celiac Awareness, says in a statement it consulted with Domino's and "helped Domino's realize that the handcrafted nature of their pizzas and current store operations cannot guarantee a gluten-free pizza free of cross-contamination")
An estimated 1% of the U.S. population suffers from celiac disease, an autoimmune disorder that results in severe gastrointestinal and other problems. Many more may suffer from a milder condition known as gluten sensitivity, as WSJ's Health Journal explained in February, which is associated with fatigue, headaches and digestive disorders, but it is far less researched.
"We still are in the infancy of understanding gluten sensitivity so to make claims such as they can tolerate a little bit of gluten is totally unfounded," said Dr. Guandalini, who is also medical director of the University of Chicago Celiac Disease Center. "The reality is, we do not really know what gluten sensitivity is, and until we find out, it's better to be safe than sorry."
Sales of so-called "gluten-free" foods in grocery stores are expected to reach $2.5 billion this year, but there is still no federal standard for the term.
Scientists and the Food and Drug Administration have proposed a cutoff of 20 parts per million, but the FDA has yet to issue a final rule. That would apply to food sold in stores, not served in restaurants. Meanwhile, the risk of cross-contamination exists with any food, which is why the NASSCD said it was impressed with Chuck E. Cheese's precautions.

About the Book
Lady at the O.K. Corral: The True Story of Josephine Marcus Earp by Ann Kirschner is the definitive biography of a Jewish girl from New York who won the heart of Wyatt Earp.
For nearly fifty years, she was the common-law wife of Wyatt Earp: hero of the O.K. Corral and the most famous lawman of the Old West. Yet Josephine Sarah Marcus Earp has nearly been erased from Western lore. In this fascinating biography, Ann Kirschner, author of the acclaimed Sala's Gift, brings Josephine out of the shadows of history to tell her tale: a spirited and colorful tale of ambition, adventure, self-invention, and devotion. Reflective of America itself, her story brings us from the post–Civil War years to World War II, and from New York to the Arizona Territory to old Hollywood.
In Lady at the O.K. Corral, you'll learn how this aspiring actress and dancer—a flamboyant, curvaceous Jewish girl with a persistent New York accent—landed in Tombstone, Arizona, and sustained a lifelong partnership with Wyatt Earp, a man of uncommon charisma and complex heroism.
The author of the acclaimed Sala's Gift delivers the definitive biography of Josephine Marcus Earp, a Jewish woman from New York who became the common-law wife of famed lawman and gambler Wyatt Earp.
For nearly fifty years, she lived with the most famous lawman of the Old West. Yet Josephine Sarah Marcus Earp has nearly been erased from Western lore. In this fascinating biography, Ann Kirschner brings Josephine out of the shadows of history to tell her full story—a spirited and colorful tale of ambition, adventure, selfinvention, and romance reflective of America itself, from the post–Civil War years to World War II.
How did this aspiring actress and dancer—a flamboyant, curvaceous Jewish girl with a persistent New York accent—land in Tombstone, Arizona, and steal the heart of Wyatt Earp? What inspired five decades of adventure-seeking that led from the Arizona Territory to Alaska to Hollywood? And what sustained her lifelong partnership with a man of uncommon charisma and complex heroism?
Answering these questions, Kirschner offers a rare look at a woman's life on the frontier and sheds new light on the iconic gunfight that made Wyatt Earp a legend, revealing Josephine's place at its center. Lady at the O.K. Corral introduces a vivacious woman with a magnetic personality who was equally at home in the deserts of the American Southwest and the boomtowns of the Alaskan Gold Rush; in the opulent hotels of San Diego and San Francisco in the Gay Nineties; in rough mining camps, gaudy gambling casinos, racetracks, and boxing arenas; as on Hollywood back lots visiting Cecil B. DeMille and Samuel Goldwyn.
Spanning more than half a century, this engaging narrative biography brings Josephine to the forefront of her own story and offers a fresh look at a remarkable era in American history.

About the Book
"Todd's novels are known for compelling plotting with a thoughtful whodunit aspect, rich characterization, evocative prose, and haunting atmosphere."
—Richmond Times-Dispatch
"Readers who can't get enough of [Jacqueline Winspear's] Maisie Dobbs…are bound to be caught up in the adventures of Bess Crawford."
—New York Times Book Review
To great critical acclaim, author Charles Todd introduced protagonist Bess Crawford in A Duty to the Dead. The dedicated World War I nurse returns in An Impartial Witness, and finds herself in grave peril when a moral obligation makes her the inadvertent target of a killer. As hauntingly evocative as Todd's award-winning, New York Times bestselling Ian Rutledge novels, An Impartial Witness transports readers to a dark time of war and involves us in murder, intrigue, and the fascinating affairs of a truly unforgettable cast of characters.
In the early summer of 1917, Bess Crawford is charged with escorting a convoy of severely wounded soldiers from the trenches of France to England. Among them is a young pilot, burned beyond recognition, who carries a photograph of his wife pinned to his tunic. But later, in a crowded railway station, Bess sees the same woman bidding a heart-wrenching farewell to a departing officer, clearly not her husband.
Back on duty in France, Bess is shocked to discover the wife's photograph in a newspaper accompanying a plea from Scotland Yard for information about her murder, which took place on the very day Bess witnessed that anguished farewell. Granted leave to speak with the authorities, Bess very quickly finds herself entangled in a case of secrets and deadly betrayal in which another life hangs in the balance, and her search for the truth could expose her to far graver dangers than those she faces on the battlefield.

News 12 at 6 o'clock / Thursday, Dec. 13, 2012
WAYNESBORO, Ga. -- An 83-year-old grandmother ended up having to move out after sewage spilled into her home. Now city officials are stepping in to help her, and they could help you, too.
The evidence of the spill still lingers around Mrs. Eddie Webb's home.
"It was down in here, all down the hall of the bathroom in the back bedrooms," said Webb, as she pointed toward stained flooring and walls.
The 83-year-old came back home after living in a motel for a few weeks. It was either stay there or live in the mess inside her home.
"It was pure poop and urine that's what it was," she said.
Webb's sewage backed up into her house last month. It filled her tubs and overflowed into her yard. She says this wasn't the first time it's happened.
"I'm scared to death," Webb said.
Her house is one of the older ones in the Waynesboro neighborhood. Even older than her home are the pipes underneath it.
"It is pipes! It is pipes because it's coming from the pipes," Webb said.
City Manager Jerry Coalson says Webb is responsible for replacing the decaying pipes.
"The service line actually belongs to the property owner," Colason said.
The cost for replacement? Nearly a thousand dollars.
"I don't have. I don't know what I'm going to do," Webb said.
Webb told city leaders about her pipe problem, which she can't afford to fix.
State law prohibits a city from flipping a homeowner's bill, but certain grants do allow small towns the flexibility to help citizens.
HUD recently granted Waynesboro a Community Development Block Grant for sewer work around the city.
Coalson says he was able to include Webb's pipes in the project since she came to him for help.
"We develop our projects around helping folks and providing services," Coalson said.
Webb's pipes are scheduled to be replaced in January.
"That would be an answer to my prayer," Webb said.
There are several grant programs that cities apply for every few years. Sometimes, like in this case, the grant money can be used to help you.
Inquire with your city leaders about grant programs if you're interested in getting help.

February 14, 2006
Nearly all of the Hurricane Katrina evacuees that were in local hotels have now checked out of their rooms. Many of them have chosen to make Augusta their permanent home as they rebuild their lives in the CSRA.
After five months of living in a local hotel with her three children, Jeanette Wright is finally moving into a new home.
"Once all of the furniture gets in it will be awesome just the way I want it," Wright said.
A home to call her own after Hurricane Katrina robbed her of the one she had in New Orleans. On top of dealing with that, just last week Jeanette's mother died. And the very day she returned from New Orleans after the funeral she began moving in to this three bedroom/two bathroom home.
"After from come seeing my mom this was a real nice rest for us," Wright said.
After the storm, hundreds of Katrina evacuees came to Augusta and many of them are finding places to live making Augusta their permanent home.
Remax Masters Realtor Sabrina Moore has been instrumental in finding homes for hurricane evacuees.
"I don't just sell houses, I help them rebuild their lives," Moore said.
"It's the brightness when you walk through the door," said Arlean Edwards.
Sabrina worked with Katrina evacuee Arlean Edwards on her purchase of this Martinez home. The previous owner was doing renovations when he decided to sell.
Arlean used much of her FEMA reimbursement money to put down on the house and furnish it. Since the renovations were complete, she got a big discount.
"A greater deal just there by not being floor covering," Arlean said.
Arlean credits Sabrina with putting her life on hold and cutting out much of the fees.
"Had it not been for her consumption or being consumed with our plight then I don't think we would have success stories," Arlean said.
Realtor Sabrina Moore has been working with another Katrina family. That family is actually building a home in the Blythe area.

A Look Into Our Final Home
I have always dreamed about heaven and thought it was a place of peace and contentment. I still do. However, after reading Proof of Heaven by Dr. Eben Alexander, I am so sure what I see in my dreams will come true. Without a doubt!
Eben Alexander is a neurosurgeon who was in a coma for seven days. During those seven days his brain was not working, but also during those seven days Eben experienced heaven and was in the presence of God and other beings he referred to as angels guiding him through. As I was reading the book, I kept jumping for joy inside because I could see and feel the place Eben was describing.
Many nights I lie awake imagining what being in heaven and experiencing perfection would feel. I have always thought it would be a place where I finally would be able to verbalize my thoughts. However, from this book I learned communication, as we know it to be here on earth, is not the way they communicate in heaven. According to Eben, their mouths did not move and yet they communicated in such a clear and concise manner with complete and total understanding. What a miraculous way to communicate- not with just your mouths and ears, but with your eyes, heart and soul.
Dr. Alexander also believes now because of his time in heaven, that God puts evil on Earth so we, with a free will, are given the opportunity to make the right choices. He also says the amount of good on earth outweighs the amount of evil. Throughout the book Eben continually expresses the love God has for everyone, even those of us who make the wrong choices. I am so grateful to know what I have always known, that God is forgiving. We always are given the opportunity to make amends, even when we think there is no hope of eternal happiness.
After his time in heaven and his complete recovery, Dr. Alexander has read numerous accounts of near death experiences and compared them to his own experience. The one thing I find very interesting is not once have I ever heard from those lucky few the distinctions of religions. As far as I know, not one person who has been lucky enough to experience life after death has indicated a certain religion being recognized during their time in heaven. Each one simply experiences an enormous feeling of love from a Supreme Being. What a wonderful feeling to finally be in a place with no competition, no jealousy, no imperfections, and no anger. Someplace where even I will be accepted by everyone --- and heard.

OAKLAND -- The Warriors are looking forward to another crack at the Phoenix Suns on Friday, but Thursday they were still sounding off about their Christmas night win over the Los Angeles Clippers.
In particular, Golden State took some time to respond to the Clippers' accusations of "cowardly" play.
"We're just trying to win the game," said Warriors center Andrew Bogut, one of the central figures of a Warriors' 105-103 victory that featured several scrums. "We did whatever it took to win the game. We made the big plays toward the end. Everyone's entitled to their opinions and comments, and we're not really affected by that. We'd rather be called cowards and come out with the win."
Bogut tangled with Clippers star Blake Griffin early in the fourth quarter, leading to Griffin's second technical foul of the game and his ejection. He picked up his first technical at the end of the third quarter for reacting to taking an elbow from the Warriors' Draymond Green, who was slapped with a flagrant 2 foul and ejected as a result.
Griffin said he did nothing wrong, that the Warriors played "cowardly basketball" and that the referees "fell for it." The league office said Thursday that Griffin shouldn't have been ejected.
"A common foul should have been called on Griffin for initially attempting to dislodge ... Bogut, and a technical foul should have been assessed to Bogut for grabbing Griffin by the shirt and wrestling with him," NBA president of basketball operations Rod Thorn said in a statement.
Bogut also briefly tangled with Chris Paul after the final buzzer when Paul tried to steal the ball away from the Warriors center, who was then shoved by the Clippers' Matt Barnes.
Barnes told ESPNLosAngeles.com after the game that he was protecting his point guard.
"You can't let your point guard get picked on by a center," Barnes said. "Everyone tried to split them up. Bogut was talking trash all game. He can talk it on the court, but he knows better than to talk it off the court."
Bogut denied those trash-talking claims.
"I don't talk trash," he said. "To the contrary of certain comments, I didn't say a word last night to anybody. If there's physicality needed, I'm happy to bring it, but I never look for the altercations but unfortunately last night there were a couple little scrums.
"It's playoff-style basketball. We're both fighting for the same thing. We both want to get to the playoffs and make noise, and that's what you've got to do in those games."
Green wouldn't say if there was anything that led to his elbow to Griffin.
"It was a tough division game," Green said Thursday. "That's one of the big things that happens in a tough division game when you've got two good teams playing against each other. We were able to come out with the win. We did the necessary things, made the necessary plays we needed to make to come out with the win."
All that said, the Warriors were still in the mode of trying to look ahead to Friday's meeting with the Suns. It's the last home game before a seven-game trip and a chance to redeem themselves after a poor effort in a 106-102 loss in Phoenix on Dec. 15.
"We went on a little bit of a lull when we were on the road in Phoenix," Bogut said. "I think the last three games we've stepped up our effort and played much better basketball. Hopefully we'll continue to carry it and turn this three-game win streak into a four-game win streak."
Lakers' star Kobe Bryant, out with a knee injury, leads the voting and is followed by Paul. Curry is about 52,000 votes behind Paul. The top two backcourt vote-getters will start the All-Star game Feb. 16 in New Orleans.

Various Evinrude, Mercury and Yamaha up to 250-hp
In case you didn't notice, the three men on this 2100 CC are not Munchkins. There is plenty of room on this boat for anglers or a family. Note the high freeboard.
Hydra-Sports 2100 CC Mission
The 2100's mission is to be able to go basically where others in the same size boat fear to tread. In order to do that she would have to be designed and built to handle the same sea conditions offshore as her big sisters. Safety and comfort offshore would be the watch-words of the boat. Fishability comes standard.
When at rest, the freeboard of the Hydra-Sports 2100 CC is 42" (106 cm) high but when planing it is even a bit higher.
Distinguishing Features
In a category of boats where many are quite similar, the Hydra-Sports 2100 CC stands out. Here are her most distinguishing features--
High freeboard. At first the 2100 CC might look a bit odd. The reason is that our eye has gotten used to seeing center consoles this size with a lower freeboard. But high freeboard is important for sea keeping and safety. As pointed out above, waves offshore don't get smaller because the boat on them is 21' and not 35.' By having more freeboard forward the boat stays drier and is better able to keep water from sloshing in during sloppy conditions.
The 2100's freeboard is 42" (106 cm) forward, 40" (100.9 cm) amidships and 35" (88 cm) above the waterline at the stern. By comparison, typically many center consoles in this size have a freeboard of about 25" (63 cm) at the transom.
Deeper cockpit. Because the freeboard is higher, the cockpit is naturally deeper. A deeper cockpit is safer for both veteran anglers and youngsters or guests who may not be familiar with boats and their movements. The ABYC standards call for a minimum of 24" (60.5 cm) of gunwale or rail height on weather decks and the 2100 CC cockpit far exceeds that standard.
The 2100's splashwell is cut down to provide emergency dewatering. The rail around the well provides safety and is also designed to take an optional table and a bait prep station. A 20 gallon livewell is under the jump seat to starboard. The pump room is accessed through the centerline hatch in the cockpit sole.
Cutaway outboard well. One of the most important safety features on the 2100 CC is her integral outboard well that is cut down a foot below her transom. With this design the cockpit can be dewatered rapidly if the boat becomes swamped. Boats with closed transoms cannot quickly dewater by putting the throttle forward.
Ceramic transom support. Hydra-Sports is the only maker of center consoles we know of that uses poured ceramic between the fiberglass hull and the inner liner at the transom for stiffness and strength. The builder says that the ceramic plate has the strength of an aluminum sheet 1.5" (3.7 cm) thick.
Kevlar in the keel. Everyone knows Kevlar will stop a bullet, but it is also twice as strong as fiberglass and has three times the tensile strength of steel. By putting a layer of it in the keel, Hydra-Sport protects the boat from puncture by a rock or submerged debris in its lowest and most vulnerable area.
Port and starboard insulated fish boxes with drains are forward. Fishing gear stows below the hatch between the seats. The cooler under the seat at right is standard.
13 different colors. Most builders offer two to four different colors of gel coat as options. Hydra-Sports offers 13, including the standard white. Not only that, but you can specify any one of those 13 colors for the hull sides, and a different color for the bottom, yet another to fill in the Hydra-Sports signature "bolt" graphics on the hull side, and yet another color of the outline of the bolt.
Heavy displacement. Because of its higher freeboard, ceramic transom plate, sprayed ceramic sealing skin coat in the hull, its stringer system and a large console, the Hydra-Sports 2100 CC at 3,493 lbs. (1,587.7 kgs.) is one of the heaviest boats in class. That speaks volumes about her construction and design. Generally speaking, a heavier boat, all things being equal, rides better at speed in a lumpy sea on the way out for the big ones.
Putting the 2100 into a high-speed tight turn is no problem as her crew of three hang on and lean into it.
We have not tested the 2100 CC so we cannot comment on its performance or handling. However, the folks at Evinrude have tested the boat with their 200-hp E-TEC outboard engine and we pass along to you their published results. With a full load of fuel and three men aboard (640 lbs./290 kgs.), Evinrude techs say the boat weighed a total of 4,895 lbs. (2,225 kgs.). They said the 2100 CC had a top speed of 39.6 mph in a medium chop on a 84-degree day. At that speed the engine was turning 5625 rpm. Those are real conditions if we ever saw them.
Best cruise was found at 3500 rpm where the boat went 20.8 mph, burning 7.46 gph, getting 2.8 mpg for a range of 301 statute miles, with a 10% fuel reserve, according to Evinrude's techs.
The leaning post with rod holders is standard along with a cooler under which is not shown. The seat back detaches.
As you have probably gathered by now, the 2100 CC is built strong and tough. Just to fill in a few details that are a bit unusual, after putting on the gel coat and a layer of vinylester resin (to prohibit blistering), Hydra-Sport sprays in a ceramic coating to stop any pattern print through. A sheet of Kevlar goes in along the keel, then bi-axial fiberglass cloth and woven roving go in the laminate. The lay-up is all by hand.
A fiberglass stringer grid is made outside of the hull, then is bonded to the hull with methacrylate adhesive which is the standard adhesive used these days by the best boat builders. An inner liner is set into the hull and bonded in.
This bird's eye view gives a good idea of the amount of room aboard. Note the wide passageways on both sides of the center console making going forward easy.
Fishy Features
Since this a boat for keen anglers, she has all of the basic fishing features. The livewell is 20 gallons, has a light and an 800 gph pump and is located under the jump seat in the starboard quarter. Two large, insulated, and draining, fish boxes are under the seats (or casting platform) in the bow. In the sole between these seats is storage for nets and other gear.
There are three pull-out tackle drawers and four rod holders in the gunwales. As usual, rod storage is to port and starboard under the gunwales aft. We would order the optional fishing station that attaches to the transom rail around the outboard well. There is also an optional table that fits on this rail that should be considered, depending on how you will use the boat.
Hydra-Sports offers 13 optional gel coat colors plus the standard white. The boat's signature "bolt" along the hull can be any one of those colors, as can the outline for the bolt and the bottom gel coat. Note the re-boarding ladder and platform to port.
Standard Equipment We Like
Hydra-Sports builds premium boats so she has most of the hardware and equipment you'd expect on that category of vessel. Nevertheless, a few things did catch our eye as we looked over the standards list: thru-hulls below the waterline are bronze and stainless steel above the waterline; the anchor locker is self-draining; the windscreen is glass, not plexy; the stainless steel transom rail; deluxe leaning post with rod holders, cooler and removable back rest; standard Porta-Potti in the head.
Here is an option we'd go for: the fiberglass T-top with dark color on the overhead to reduce glare. Besides providing protection from the sun and rain, the T-top aluminum bracing provides much-needed hand holds.
Options We Would Consider
The most important option is, of course, the T-top. You have your choice of a couple of types but both will do the job of protecting you from the sun and rain. We would also get the trim tabs and stainless steel insert for the rub rail. And that is about it. The boat comes very well equipped as standard. Put on a chartplotter, fishfinder, VHF, ground tackle and a couple of fenders and you're ready to go.
The Hydra-Sports 2100 CC is the company's smallest boat but as you can see, there is plenty of real estate on the console for two screens. Note that the aluminum bracing for the T-top is affixed to the console and not the cockpit sole thus providing an unencumbered path forward.
Power Options and Price
Hydra-Sports offers three engine brands for the single outboard this vessel requires: Evinrude, Yamaha and Mercury. Horsepower options range from 150-hp to 250-hp, the max rating for this boat.
The MSRP price of the Hydra-Sports 2100 CC ranges from about $61,000 when equipped with a 150-hp outboard to around $74,000 with a 250-hp engine.
The head compartment is tight but serviceable. The Porta-Potti is standard.
Observations About the Hydra-Sports 2100 CC
This is not a cheap boat and if that is what you want then we suggest you look elsewhere. If you are planning on fishing in protected water, then you probably don't need the stones that this boat has, and we would suggest that you look at Hydra-Sports' 23 Bay Bolt which is quite a bit different, and less expensive.
However, if you are headed offshore for game, or would like to cross some big bodies of water, say, going across the Stream to the Bahamas for some fishing -- and don't want or can't afford a bigger boat -- then the 2100 CC should be on your shopping list. We cannot emphasize enough the importance of the safety features that this boat has. They, together with the boat's 20-degree deadrise at the transom and its overall construction, should hold you in good stead when conditions get smoky.
We think the Hydra-Sports 2100 CC makes a good boat not only for die-hard offshore anglers, but also for Mom and the kids because of its deep cockpit and head.

Should Private Equity Industry Change Its Name?
2012 was a difficult year for private equity and the spotlight from last year's presidential election hasn't helped.
And the scrutiny hasn't eased since Election Day. Last month, Bruce Karpati, head of the asset management unit of the Securities and Exchange Commission's enforcement division, spoke at a conference in New York. His speech shed new light on the regulatory heavy-hand that is coming down hard on private equity firms.
Mr. Karpati detailed areas the SEC may look at in the future for potential misconduct by private equity firms, including misappropriation of funds, conflicts of interest with fund investor and disclosure of performance company performance.
"It's not unreasonable to think that the number of cases involving private equity will increase," Mr. Karpati said.
For private equity practitioners, the pressure existed well before the presidential campaign. Speaking on a conference call discussing the firm's fourth-quarter earnings on Thursday Blackstone Group President Tony James said the regulatory scrutiny of the industry "has ratcheted it up a lot over the last five years."
He said Blackstone's legal and compliance department has seen the fastest growth in headcount among all business segments.
Heightened scrutiny is not a bad thing, Mr. James said. "We welcome that. The worst thing for private equity is to be seen staying on the fringe of the public doing bad things. We need to have a pristine reputation and be widely trusted. We welcome being held to high standards."
In response to a question, Mr. James said the name "private equity" may need to be changed because of the clandestine connotation of the word "private."
For instance, he said, Blackstone's limited partners can log on to the firm's website and pull out any information they want about any portfolio company's performance and projected financials.
"The [private equity] label is unfortunate; it subliminally sends the wrong message," said Mr. James. "Maybe it should be changed to 'clarity equity.'"
Not coincidentally, other industry executives proposed their own versions of a name change. When asked about his prediction of one headline involving the industry this year, Eric Zinterhofer, co-founder and partner of Searchlight Capital Partners, told Private Equity Analyst in January that he thinks the industry will change its name.
"Private equity is not truly 'private' as the industry is SEC- and FSA-regulated," said Mr. Zinterhofer, adding that his firm's audited results are consistently shared with its investors.
In addition, Searchlight, which has offices in New York, London and Toronto, invests across a company's capital structure, and not just in equity.
"Perhaps we should be called long term capital providers – that more accurately describes how Searchlight views itself," Mr. Zinterhofer said
Adding to the voice is Pamela Hendrickson, chief operating officer of the Riverside Co. Speaking at a January conference held by ACG New York Inc., Ms. Hendrickson said a name change was one of her five New Year's resolutions for the industry.
"Stop being so private," Ms. Hendrickson said, according to a transcript provided by an ACG New York spokesman. "Quit hiding under a rock or a bushel; let your light shine."
She suggested that the industry change its name to "opportunity capital" provider.
PE Beat readers, do you think the industry needs to change its name, and if so, what should it be changed to?

The Vail Symposium presents the third TEDxVailWomen event this Wednesday at the Colorado Mountain College campus in Edwards. Organized by Symposium Advisory Council member Kat Haber, the event features thought-provoking presentations by and for women.
"This is another outstanding group of women who will be presenting powerful ideas," said Haber, who has presented her own TED talks and has organized eight TED events in Vail and Homer, Alaska.
TED is a nonprofit organization devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. Started as a four-day conference in California 26 years ago, TED has grown to support those world-changing ideas with multiple initiatives. In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience.
The TEDxVailWomen event is free and begins with live presentations from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m., followed by a dinner break and then a video streaming of this year's TEDxWomen event that happened in Washington, D.C. on Dec. 1. Live talks by outstanding local, regional, and nationally-known women as well as a guest speaker from Israel make this event exciting for anyone interested in sharing new, innovative ideas about the world and our place in it. The theme for this year's TEDxVailWomen is "The Space Between," a theme that will be addressed from many various perspectives.
From the space between conversation and action, lies a gap of provocative ideas and threads from previous conferences, focusing on how women are less likely to approach subjects from a black-or-white perspective, focusing instead on the gray area in between. There is a curiosity in wanting to explore what is in between extremes, to gain the big picture, and find the areas where we need more understanding and perhaps compromise.
"I see a Vail Valley where The Space Between connects women of each decade with original ideas in talks about technology, entertainment, and design," said Haber. "Think old time Chautauqua meets creative innovators meets a YouTube variety show meets global music."
'Transformative effect'
Featured speakers in the first half of TEDxVailWomen include: Shannon Galpin, founder of Mountain2Mountain; Susie Kincade, founder of the Women's Empowerment Workshop in Vail; Dr. Judith Landau, internationally-known neuro-psychiatrist from Edwards; Andrea Lo, the 26-year-old founder of Piggybackr.com; Sharon Shay Sloan, a community steward, council trainer, and rites of passage guide; Jammie Dummolt, senior at Red Canyon High School in Eagle, and a delegate for Girls Learn International; and Eliana Gilad, coming from Israel and founder of Voices of Eden, the healing magic of ancient music.
"The speakers are deep in rehearsal and the final tweaks are underway," said Haber. "There are a few surprises that will only be revealed on the day of and they are fantastic. You will want to stay until the very end of the show and not miss a minute."
The second half of the evening will be a video broadcast of this year's TEDxWomen event, hosted by Eve Ensler, author of The Vagina Monologues. This session brings together a singer, a comedian, a prosecutor, a photographer, and a poet, all of whom are exploring new ways of being and seeing.
"I've seen the transformative effect organizing a TEDx event can have on a small community," said Haber. "Organizing a TEDx event is like finding the tastiest morsels in our community with each tossing in what they can, including ideas, speakers, funders, performers, teachers, politicians, businesses, and citizens. The resulting soup nourishes attendees, jumbles us together in bold new ways, and provides a tasty adventure to synergize ideas into action."
Tracey Flower is the development and marketing associate for the Vail Symposium. She can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

ALAMEDA -- Flames engulfed the USS West Virginia and it was taking on water on Dec. 7, 1941, when John Rauschkolb heard the order to abandon the battleship as Japanese aircraft swooped and dived above Pearl Harbor.
"I said, 'No, I will stay right here and fight,'" said Rauschkolb, who was standing on the signal bridge when the attack began that plunged the United States into World War II. "But then they said, 'No, it's all hands.'"
As Rauschkolb jumped off the bow, a Japanese Zero streaked past, strafing the ship. Oil from the West Virginia and the nearby USS Arizona was burning on the water's surface.
"Those bullets are nasty," Rauschkolb said. "But I was lucky. The overhang of the bow protected me."
Now 91 and living in San Rafael, Rauschkolb marked the 71st anniversary of the attack on Friday by joining other Pearl Harbor survivors at a ceremony on the U.S. Coast Guard base in Alameda.
The ceremony featured prayers, a rifle volley and renditions of patriotic songs.
Other ceremonies took place throughout the country, including at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, where a moment of silence for the approximately 2,400 sailors and others who died was held at 7:55 a.m., the exact time the bombing began.
Most of those killed were aboard the Arizona, which sustained a direct hit in its forward ammunition magazine, triggering a massive explosion. The sunken vessel now forms part of the permanent memorial at the harbor.
The outcome of World War II was far from certain in the months after the attack, Coast Guard Vice Adm. Paul Zukunft said Friday. Not only had the Japanese swept through the Pacific, but Nazi Germany dominated Europe.
"There can be no doubt that the U.S. responded to this attack with anger and resolution," Zukunft said. The next day, the United States declared war on Japan.
The entire nation was mobilized, he said, and men and women who worked on the homefront building ships and manufacturing supplies equally helped secure the eventual victory.
George Larsen was a 21-year-old Coast Guard radio operator when explosions awakened him that fateful Sunday morning in Oahu. He had come off duty just five hours earlier.
"I thought at first it was the Army playing war games again," said Larsen, who grew up in Mill Valley and now lives in Marin County's Bel Marine Keys. "That's what I thought. But then I realized this was real."
Rauschkolb spent the night before the attack in Waikiki. But he was still up by 6 a.m. and on duty aboard the West Virginia when the bombing began along what the Navy called Battleship Row.
"I looked out and saw an aircraft heading for the ship," Rauschkolb said. "As it got closer, I saw that it was Japanese. I immediately knew we were under attack and that it was war."
At least four torpedoes struck the West Virginia, as well as armor-piercing shells.
As Rauschkolb and another other sailor worked to extinguish the fire from the explosions, a Japanese Zero fired at them, the bullets pinging along the ship's deck.
Both men scrambled for cover under a 5-inch gun mount, he said.
"I looked over at him and he was laughing," Rauschkolb said. "Then I began laughing, too."
Rauschkolb worked as mail carrier with the U.S. Postal Service after the war.
Clarence Byal, 91, of San Leandro, was stationed aboard the USS St. Louis, a light cruiser. Its crew managed to reach the open sea within hours of the attack and joined the search for the Japanese fleet.
Byal had celebrated his 20th birthday the day before the bombing.
"I had duty that night and I had liberty the following day," Byal said, before adding with smile, "but that never happened."
The anniversary of Pearl Harbor is bittersweet, Byal said, because Dec. 7 also marks his wedding anniversary. He married, Catherine, now 89, five years after the attack.
"She wanted that date," said Byal, who retired after 37 years in the Navy. "And we talked it over and I eventually agreed."
The smoke and explosions are his most vivid memories of that Sunday morning, Byal said. But he admits that he has chosen to forget much of what happened on Dec. 7, 1941.
"I have gotten in the habit over the years of remembering only the things that I enjoy," Byal said. "If it bothers me or makes me sad, I just put it aside."

One simple way to keep your child safe is by making sure they have the proper car seat for their age and size, and by securing the car seat the right way every time.
Safe Kids Coalition performs free car seat inspections throughout the year. The seat is checked for appropriate use relating to the age and size of the child, and then it is inspected for proper installation in the motor vehicle. Education takes place with the parents or caregivers during this process.
Educational workshops are presented to groups that inquire, such as Moms Clubs, Head Start programs, schools, etc. You may call (602) 506-6860 to make an appointment to have your child's car seat checked or to find a local car seat check-up event.
Infants -- Use a rear-facing car seat to at least age 1 and 20 pounds, and longer if possible. Many convertible child safety seats allow infants to ride rear-facing until they reach weights as high as 30 or 35 pounds.
Toddlers -- Use a forward-facing (convertible or combo seat) until 40 pounds. Read child safety seat instructions to properly adjust the harness.
Boosters -- For a child over 40 pounds, use a booster seat with the vehicle lap and shoulder safety belts until your child passes the Safety Belt Fit Test.
Safety Belts -- It is safe for a child to start using a safety belt if:
The child can sit all the way back on the vehicle seat and their knees bend at the front edge of the seat
Lap belt rests on the upper legs or hips
Shoulder belt rests on the shoulder or collarbone
The child maintains the correct seating position for as long as you are in the car
All children under age 13 ride in the back seat.
Follow manufacturer's instructions for car seats, booster seats, and vehicle safety at all times.
Never use car seats purchased from yard sales, secondhand stores, or flea markets.
Never let children ride on laps or in cargo areas or pickup truck beds.

During their tenure at Metro, Otto and Jess developed a passion and reputation for exploring the boundaries between work and life in an effort to humanize the modern workplace.
The designers have said "we are thinking less about categorizing office furniture and residential furniture, and thinking more about the experiences of working and living in spaces, and the artifacts you need to support both narratives simultaneously. There's really a move to allow furniture to be furniture again, as opposed to equipment. In a sense, the office is being dismantled."
Together they hold numerous design and utility patents and their work has been published in Abitare, Azure, Contract, Fast Company, I.D. Magazine, Interior Design and Metropolis. Otto holds a BFA in Industrial Design from Rhode Island School of Design. Jess holds a BFA in Industrial Design from The California College of the Arts.
