As a business owner this course was immensely helpful. I'm currently operating my second business and I feel that I've always been lacking in my marketing efforts. Owning a business doesn't afford much time so this was the perfect opportunity to learn at my own pace. The course and instructor provided so many ideas that I have a year's worth of work to do! I'm happy about this as it opened my mind and hopefully opportunities to increase my sales. In fact, I have already implemented several marketing strategies based on this course. I can't thank the teacher enough for her detailed and prompt responses to my questions and those of others which I found helpful as well. I would highly recommend this course. Very up to date and well presented.
This course exceeded my expectations! I learned so much valuable information. I cannot wait to utilize all my new knowledge. Glynns taught in an easy-to-follow format. The informative was fresh and extremely useful. My interest in marketing has grown to a whole new level. Thank you Glynns!!
This course was very thorough and informative. The information was presented clearly and logically with alot of extra resources added through the supplementary materials and discussion area answers. Our instructor, Glynns, proved to be exceptionally knowledgeable in all areas of our study. In addition, she spent alot of time supplying very complete, personalized answers and suggestions in our discussion areas. Her guidance will surely help our marketing efforts! Thanks for a great course!
This class has been extremely helpful in moving towards a postive and successful future. I have learned things that have made the bigger picture much clearer and given me skills that I feel will definitely help me in my endeavor. Thank you.
This instructor, she is fabulous. Jam-packed the course with detailed insightful information (including examples) for the perfectly identified audience. The instructor's marketing experience, teaching expertise, and excellent communication skills are apparent on every page. Highly recommend.
I absolutely loved the class! I walked away more educated than I was when I started and I had a great time completing the class.
This was the first class, in a long time, where I felt like I really got my money's worth...and then some. Glynns Thomas is a true teacher, her class was effective, efficient and applicable. I really appreciated the step-by-step approach, and her way of explaining and teaching. It made you stretch, but it wasn't out of reach. I feel like I have a road map, directions and "how to" for my new business. Thank you!
The quality of this course was outstanding -- the material, exercises, examples, and instructor feedback. It is as professional as anything I would have paid over a thousand dollars for. I am impressed and delighted. A very valuable use of my time!
Glynns is an awesome instructor. She is extremely knowledgeable, helpful and kind...I would've honestly paid four times the rate for this information...This course is extremely valuable and affordable...I am definitely speaking loud and proud about this course...Thanks again for this awesome opportunity to become a marketing powerhouse.

PITTSBURGH - The most valuable asset a sports fan can have is the ability to read between the lines.
Total candor is rare from management types, simply because they have little to gain from it. Pay attention to what they say, but be just as diligent in noticing what they don't say. And remember that actions speak louder than carefully-guarded words.
While filling in for injured second baseman Neil Walker, Jordy Mercer hit three home runs. This led a lot of people to wonder why Mercer isn't the starting shortstop.
Here's why: The Pirates don't think Mercer has the necessary defensive skills to play the position regularly. Offense isn't the primary criteria for selecting a shortstop.
In a perfect world, the shortstop would be like Barry Larkin, whose combination of offensive and defensive talent earned him election to the Hall of Fame. The world isn't perfect. If you had to choose one dominant skill for a shortstop, it would be his defensive ability.
The Pirates clearly value leather over lumber at shortstop. That's why they carry balsa bats like Clint Barmes and John McDonald.
A scout not affiliated with the Pirates was asked if he thought Mercer could play shortstop in the major leagues. "Not every day," he said. "He would hit more than Barmes, but he's not going to play defense as well."
The Pirates share that evaluation, even though they're never going to publicly say that.
That doesn't mean Mercer can't play second base or be a utility player. It just means his glove isn't good enough for the demands of shortstop on a regular basis.
The information is right there, between the lines.
Mike is miserable
Is NBC hockey analyst Mike Milbury the world's most miserable man, or is he just playing that role on TV?
Many things displease the perpetually-scowling Milbury, and he isn't shy about sharing them. It's like he downs a Big Gulp of vinegar before he goes on the air.
Sometimes the demands of TV force people to exaggerate a persona, but Milbury's record indicates he comes by this unpleasantness legitimately.
As a player, he once went into the stands at Madison Square Garden, removed a fan's shoe and pounded the fan with the shoe. As a coach, he chased referee Denis Morel down the hall at the Civic Arena, profanely berating him for his work in a playoff game against the Penguins.
And it was Milbury who proclaimed Penguins coach Bob Johnson as "the professor of goonism" in the 1991 playoffs.
He snarls at broadcast partners like Jeremy Roenick and Keith Jones and redefines "curmudgeon."
On the other hand, you can be sure that any compliments from Milbury are well-earned.

Accommodation nice, comfortable beds, functional kitchen and bathroom and clean!
Convenient to the metro: 2 min. on foot
The person who greeted us was friendly and helpful !!!
I will be back for sure!
Alloggio carino, letti comodi, cucina funzionale e bagno completo e pulito!
Comodissimo alla metro: 2 min. a piedi
La persona che ci ha accolto è stata gentile e disponibile!!!
Ci tornerò di sicuro!
Me and my family, when we arrived we were greeted by a mass of stinking waste of all kinds including a broken toilet accessories and more garbage containers filled (the containers were emptied two days after the end of stay other waste were still present), once you enter the door outer climbing stairs covered with carpet not own toilet, a strong musty smell assaulted us.
We open the door of the apartment and the smell of mold ..... the stairs was nothing compared to the one inside the apartment from the kitchen greasy beyond belief (in fact we have not touched a piece of cutlery or a dish), plus: hole in the wall of the hallway, hang towels in the bathroom with all jaws broken, loss of water from the basin wall (resolved after a few days), toilet seat broken (replaced more than half of the stay), the toilet drain hole in the wall likely to mice, two chairs on three dirty but one of them was really dirty (replace more than half of the stay), lack of set of towels for the third person (which were delivered in mid-stay), lack of bedside side bed and chandelier (pictured inset were clearly visible). But when we reached the top we had confirmation on the second day of the presence of rats. On the morning before going out in the evening before going to bed piazzavamo bait in the apartment on time on our return and / or awakening they were gone.
For the agency on the spot it was impossible the presence of mice but considered dirt and waste outside ..... in fact they came to install an ultrasound device over the traps chemicals already present in the bathroom and kitchen.
The problem we do not know if it was solved, because we no longer put bait. All this has also caused economic damage as well as moral, because I and my family had chosen the solution of the apartment for dinner at home, but in these conditions of hygiene do not succeed we felt, so every night we had dinner a fee.
Of some of these drawbacks possess photos.
Io e la mia famiglia, al nostro arrivo siamo stati accolti da un ammasso di rifiuti maleodoranti di ogni genere compreso un wc rotto più accessori e contenitori dell'immondizia pieni (i contenitori sono stati vuotati a due giorni dal termine del soggiorno gli altri rifiuti erano ancora presenti), una volta entrati dalla porta esterna nel salire le scale ricoperte da una moquette non proprio igienica, un forte odore di muffa ci ha assalito.
Apriamo la porta dell'appartamento e ..... l'odore di muffa delle scale era niente a confronto di quello all'interno dell'appartamento proveniente dalla cucina unta all'inverosimile (infatti non abbiamo toccato una posata o una stoviglia), in più: buco nel muro del corridoio, appendi asciugamani nel bagno con tutti i ganci rotti, perdita d'acqua dalla parete della vasca (risolto dopo qualche giorno), tavoletta del wc rotta (sostituita oltre la metà del soggiorno), scarico del wc nel muro probabile tana per topi, due sedie su tre sporche ma una delle due era veramente sudicia (sostituite oltre la metà del soggiorno), mancanza del set di asciugamani per la terza persona (consegnatoci a metà del soggiorno), mancanza del comodino a fianco del letto e dei lampadari (nella foto dell'inserzione erano ben evidenti). Ma il top l'abbiamo raggiunto quando abbiamo avuto la conferma già al secondo giorno della presenza di topi. La mattina prima di uscire e la sera prima di coricarci piazzavamo delle esche nell'appartamento che puntualmente al nostro rientro e/o risveglio erano sparite.
Per l'agenzia in loco era impossibile la presenza di topi ma considerata la sporcizia e i rifiuti all'esterno ..... infatti sono venuti ad installare un apparecchio ad ultrasuoni oltre alle trappole chimiche già presenti in bagno e in cucina.
Il problema non sappiamo se è stato risolto, perché non abbiamo più messo esche. Tutto questo ci ha arrecato anche un danno economico oltre che morale, perché io e la mia famiglia avevamo scelto la soluzione dell'appartamento anche per cenare in casa, ma a queste condizioni di igiene non ce la siamo sentita e pertanto tutte le sere abbiamo cenato a pagamento.
Di alcuni di questi inconvenienti posseggo le foto.
Hola a todos.
El apartamento es sencillo pero para ir a pasar unos días a Londres tiene todo lo necesario.
Creo que lo mejor es la atención recibida por Irene, persona de contacto la cual se preocupo en todo momento de que estuviéramos hospedados y llegaramos al apartamento.
Apartamento sencillo pero con lo necesario para pasar unos dias
Die Wohnung war definitiv ausreichend für einen Städtetrip, super nah an der Bahn und ein kleines nettes Cafe war auch direkt um die Ecke. Der Kontakt war auch sehr nett und unkompliziert. Leider war das Ausklappsofa kaputt, sodass man nicht darauf schlafen konnte und es hätte auch sauberer sein könnte. Die Gegend war grundsätzlich sehr ruhig, nur waren die Wände zum Nebenhaus sehr dünn, sodass man nachts und morgens zum Teil die Gespräche oder Streitigkeiten der Nachbarn mitanhören konnnte/musste.
Insgesamt aber ein netter Aufenthalt.
Our host was very nice, and explain everything we need. The studio was clean and we enjoyed our trip in London. I recommand it !
We had a lovely experience in London thanks to this apartment. It is close to the underground station and the bus stop that took us to the City of London. It is very clean and confortable except fot the sofa (ideal only for one person). In the neighborhood there are different supermarkets where you can find everything you need. The staff was kind and helped us to bring the luggages to the 2nd floor. We will definitely book again if we go to London in the future.
Unfortunately my experience was rather negative. The room was quite noisy and I was not aware of that. It was quite difficult to sleep. I can't recommend this room to my friends.
The flat has a very strong smell of mold/dirty pipes. We have communicated to the property owner on the very first day and after our 21 days stay no one has come to solve this problem. On top of this, the shower has an electronic water heating device inside it, which is very dangerous. My wife and myself had electric shocks twice. We had to stay 2 days without using the shower until the property owner has replaced the old device for a new one. I wouldn't recommend this flat unless it is your last resort.
A very good location, close to the subway station, and a very good value for money! The apartment is really small but perfect for a short journey. The owners are kind and helpful. I would definitely advise this apartment.
Great studio! Just as it was described and looked exactly like the pictures. Very clean! The full kitchen was shared by two flats, but this wasn't an issue. You also get a microwave and small fridge in the studio. Bathroom was small, but worked fine for my stay with two people. Overall it was a great experience.

Celebrity Central / Top 25 Celebs
Keri Russell
- 1991
After years of studying jazz, tap and ballet, Keri Russell, the daughter of Nissan Motor executive David and Stephanie, is cast in The New Mickey Mouse Club (left). On the Disney Channel series, she begins dating costar Tony Lucca, and works with Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Justin Timberlake and Ryan Gosling. Russell is also cast in Disney's sequel Honey, I Blew Up the Kid.
- 1993
Rocky Road After Disney
At 17, Russell moves to L.A. alone to pursue an acting career, but takes less than stellar roles, like the NBC TV movie The Babysitter's Seduction. "I was really discouraged with what was out there," she tells the Los Angeles Times in 1998. At 19, she lands a high profile starring role in Aaron Spelling's series Malibu Shores. "I never thought it would be picked up," Russell says of the series that costars boyfriend Tony Lucca (right). "It was cheesy, but it was fine for where I was in my life."
- 1998
Russell is Felicity
Russell, 22, is cast as the title role of Felicity Porter in J.J. Abrams' new WB coming-of-age college drama. "My first reaction was 'Damn, she's beautiful! There's no way in hell she can work!'" Abrams recalls to EW. "But she was incredibly accessible and had an amazing sense of humor – a thing most people missed from the script." The pilot, which opens with Russell talking into a tape recorder, receives raves. The Chicago Daily Herald says, " Russell, of course, is the key. She has good looks right out of a Pre-Raphaelite painting...More important, as an actress, she has a way of letting emotions ripple across her face."
A Felicitous Cover Girl
Three months into the season, Felicity averages 5.5 million weekly viewers. The show is not winning the ratings race, but it attracts the highest concentration of 18- to 34-year-olds in upscale households, according to Entertainment Weekly, which lands Russell on the magazine's Fall TV cover. "The teenage girls that come to me are smart and cool – exactly the kind of girls I want to be watching," Russell says. Costar Scott Foley adds: "She's humble to the point that you think it's an act, but it's not...She's very unaffected by all of this."
- 1999
Keri Wins Golden Globe
Felicity is nominated for two Golden Globes in the TV drama and lead actress categories. The 22-year-old, dressed in "hippie chic" Giorgio Armani, walks away with the best actress award. During her acceptance speech she says "encouraging comes more to mind more than thanks." Series cocreator Matt Reeves tells the Los Angeles Times, "It's not just that she plays Felicity. There is no Felicity without Keri Russell."
The Cut that Made Headlines
For Felicity's second season, Russell chops her long ringlets into a boyish crop. Although the show changes day and timeslot and takes on a darker edge, Russell's new haircut is credited for the decline in ratings (a WB exec says, "Nobody is cutting their hair again on our network"). "We take full responsibility for the idea of cutting her hair," Abrams tells the New York Times. After four seasons, the show ends in 2002 and Russell leaves L.A. for New York.
- 2004
Russell appears off-Broadway as a vengeful girlfriend in Neil LaBute's Fat Pig. "It was so much fun because I never get picked for those kind of projects," Russell tells the Calgary Sun. She continues her post-Felicity career playing one of Joan Allen's daughters, an aspiring ballet dancer who suffers from an eating disorder (pictured with Evan Rachel Wood and Erika Christensen) in Sundance hit The Upside of Anger.
- 2006
CoverGirl Keri
After appearing in the Steven Spielberg-produced miniseries Into the West, the 30-year-old actress joins Christie Brinkley and Queen Latifah as the face of CoverGirl. "When I first started, I did do a commercial for a deodorant or something. I don't even think it aired," she tells the AP. "This is the first thing I've done like this. It's a lot less stressful than doing a film."
Mission: Impossible 3
When Scarlett Johansson drops out of Mission: Impossible 3, Felicity mastermind J.J. Abrams casts Russell in her place. She plays an agent trainee under the watch of Tom Cruise (left) in the sequel. "We did lots of weapons training," Russell tells PEOPLE. "We had to assemble machine guns blindfolded within 30 seconds. My best time was 13 seconds." The film opens at No. 1, grossing $134 million worldwide.
- 2007
In Waitress, Russell plays a Southern pregnant pie-maker in an unhappy marriage. The film was written and directed by Adrienne Shelly, who is murdered before it's release. After receiving an overwhelming reception at Sundance, Russell tells PEOPLE, "I felt like I just can't believe (Shelly) isn't here to experience this. She was like a firecracker – she loved this world." Costar Cheryl Hines (right) adds, "I'm not that sentimental a person, but every time I watch this movie, I get choked up. Keri finds the beauty and the vulnerability of this woman in a very clear way."

There are a lot of people who say Washington is broken and that it's just too partisan, but instead of adding to the problem, I think it is time to do something about it.
That's why, earlier this month, I led a bipartisan energy summit to our great state with two of my friends on the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee: Lisa Murkowski, the ranking Republican Senator from Alaska, and Ron Wyden, who will be the highest-ranking Democratic Senator from Oregon.
Either Ron or Lisa will likely be the next chair of this important and powerful committee. They came to West Virginia on a fact-finding trip to tour our state, learn how much energy we produce and see how we're putting our country's energy independence first.
Let me tell you, it's pretty special - and a pretty big deal - for senators of their stature to take the time from their home state demands and come to West Virginia, and I am so appreciative that they took a busy weekend to travel with me to see how West Virginia is committed to using all of our resources to make our nation more energy independent.
It's clear from this visit that West Virginia has friends on both sides of the aisle - and both of these incoming leaders know that West Virginia can help make America energy independent. Here in West Virginia, we know that we have to do everything possible to increase the production of American energy using coal, oil, gas and renewables so we're less dependent on foreign oil.
On our two-day whirlwind tour, we were able to see a state that has an "all-in" policy. A lot of people know West Virginia only as a coal state and don't know that we have a lot more - and we are utilizing everything we have.
Our tour started in the Eastern Panhandle, at Mt. Storm, where there's a combination wind farm and coal-fired electric generation. They produce 264 megawatts of wind power and 1,600 megawatts of coal at one of the most modern facilities we have. And when the wind isn't blowing, the coal can be relied on to provide a constant source of electricity that feeds the east coast of this country.
We traveled to the coalfields of southern West Virginia, where we saw deep underground mining and mountaintop removal. We saw how we've done extraction right - by giving the land a life after the mining for military training or schools or agriculture - and ways we can do it better. At the Mountain Laurel Complex in Logan County, we saw one of the most advanced facilities in the country, but we also saw 300,000 tons of coal on the ground - that's about $30 million in product. As of today, they have 600 people working full time, and we're going to work to make sure they can continue to work full time.
From the air, we surveyed our state's largest producer of hydroelectric power on Summersville Lake, which produces 80 megawatts. We went to the north central part of our state, where we were shown the whole Marcellus Shale process of drilling. We explained to Lisa and Ron that West Virginia is one of the few states in the country that has provided solid guidelines for drillers and communities.
Before this tour, I think too many people thought of us as coal and coal-only. While coal will be our base for a very long time, we wanted to show that we're trying to embrace all our sources of energy. We don't want to be written out of the equation for our nation's energy future.
For these two wonderful senators - and great friends - to come to West Virginia, it's pretty darn special. We had a chance to get a better understanding of how we can work together and put the country first.
I look forward to working with both of them in the months and years to come.

The report by Kendler et al1 on the risk of schizophrenia among relatives of Irish probands is an important genetic study. However, at the end of their report, they included a section on "The Prevalence of Schizophrenia in Ireland," which contains several inaccuracies.
First, they said that "our results do not support previous claims that the prevalence rate of schizophrenia is substantially elevated in the general population either in all of Ireland or in the West of Ireland." The work that they referenced2 claimed that the schizophrenia rate in western Ireland was elevated only for individuals born prior to 1940. The study by Kendler et al1 included only those individuals born in 1930 or later, so there was only a 10-year overlap in the year of birth of the individuals in the two studies. It is surprising that Kendler et al1 did not note this difference because four

State police on Wednesday announced the Jan. 10 arrests of two Attica Correctional Facility inmates related to prison contraband.
Gamalier Rivera, 44, who is now an inmate at Auburn Correctional Facility but had previously been at Attica, was charged with felony counts of first-degree promoting prison contraband and third-degree criminal possession of a weapon. Authorities alleged that in November, while he was still at Attica, he was found in possession of an "edged metal weapon secreted to his person," police said in a statement
He is serving a sentence for second-degree robbery and second-degree assault out of Queens
The second inmate, Eduardo Velasquez, 40, was charged with felony counts of third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance and first-degree promoting prison contraband.
In November, he allegedly smuggled and was in possession of "multiple balloons of heroin and marijuana secreted inside his body during an inmate visitation," police said.
He is serving time for second-degree attempted murder and other charges out of Kings County
Both inmates were arraigned in Attica Town Court and returned to the custody of the state Department of Correction.

MARTINSBURG - The health of a community is as important as the health of the people in the community, and a new study evaluates the factors that determine Berkeley County's health, including population, crime, environment and social issues.
At Thursday's Berkeley County Council meeting, members learned how Berkeley County has changed since 2000 and where the problematic areas of the county now reside.
Dr. Joy Buck and Trina Bartlett, representing the WVU School of Nursing, presented the findings of a study performed by the WVU School of Nursing-MAPP. Mobilizing for Action through Planning and Partnerships - MAPP - is a data-gathering document meant to assess the community and health of a county.
"We were seeing a lot of data that organizations were just throwing around about the health of this community, and what this document does is it really provides information that is very comprehensive across-the-board about the health of this community," Bartlett said.
The document revealed changes in county trends in areas such as population, health and needs from 2000 to 2010.
Along with a 37 percent growth in population, the greatest population growth was among ages 50 and 64 - a 69 percent increase. Within the increased population, ethnic diversity grew dramatically, especially within Asian, Hispanic and Pacific Islander cultures.
While the median household income rose from $38,763 to $50,724, the percentage of families and children living below the poverty level also increased. The total residents living below the poverty line within the county is 13.3 percent.
In a survey, residents revealed that they rated substance abuse, obesity and child abuse/neglect as the three most critical health and safety issues facing the county.
According to MAPP, drug and narcotic offenses have exponentially increased. From 2000 to 2005, the number of offenses slightly decreased, but from 2005 to 2010, the number of offenses rose from approximately 320 to 1,000.
"Drug overdose death rates per 100,000 (people), and this is just on overdoses, was 27 people in 2011. By far more than any gun violence we've had in Berkeley County," said Doug Copenhaver, vice president. "This affects everybody. We don't give it the attention that it needs to have."
Other health-related concerns highlighted by the MAPP assessment include an escalation in infant mortality rates - from approximately 740 infants to 1,330 in ten years - despite an increase in women receiving prenatal care.
Diabetes and the death rate of women with lung cancer continue to remain a county concern, as both health issues grew in prevalence over the ten-year assessment period.
"The role of the Health Department is changing in this new world, and our Health Department has trouble catching up to that. There's much more needed in health education and all these odd programs that are not normally associated with the Health Department," said council member Jim Barnhart.
While Bartlett and Buck presented the MAPP findings to council members and provided recommendations, the organization's next step is to begin looking into the factors that are behind the data.
Some of the recommendations provided include holding community conversations on concern areas highlighted in the study. The group also suggested that the council work to help private and public groups work together to address community concerns.
"We wanted to create a document that people could use, a living document that can be updated on a regular basis. One that can provide organizations, government agencies, anyone that's doing planning in our community with some really good information and background on what the health of our community really looks like," Bartlett said.
MAPP community assessments were also compiled for Jefferson and Morgan counties.
MAPP is funded by the Claude Worthington Benedum Foundation. The full MAPP report can be found at www.hsc.wvu.edu/eastern/SON/Bridges.

Safe to say, Stacey Cook was due.
Despite coming off a breakout 2011-12 season in which she finished 10th in the World Cup downhill standings, the Truckee native had never landed on the podium in her 10 years on the U.S. Alpine Ski team.
She put an end to that streak on Friday.
Cook scored her first career podium with a second-place finish to American teammate Lindsey Vonn in a foggy Audi FIS Alpine World Cup downhill in Lake Louise, Alberta.
"I was just really determined. I've been so close to the podium for so long. It's been kind of a monkey on my back," Cook said Friday night in a telephone interview.
Cook's previous best finish was fourth in the 2006 Lake Louise downhill.
On Friday she was 1.73 seconds off Vonn's winning time of 1:52.61, in 1:54.34, while German Maria Hoefl-Riesch and Liechtenstein's Tina Weirather tied for third just one-hundredth of a second behind Cook in the opening downhill of the season.
"I feel like a weight was lifted. That's something I've been going for for a long really long time," Cook said. "I knew I could compete with those girls. I'm just going to try to keep things the same and stay very level-headed. That seems to work for me."
The race was plagued by weather as fog drifted in and out, causing several holds. But Cook said she was fortunate to run during a window of decent weather.
"It was foggy for just about everyone, but some got it worse than others. The middle group definitely had a slower course," she said.
Aside from Cook, fellow Tahoe product Julia Mancuso of Squaw Valley finished eighth in 1:54.55 in what was a tightly packed top 10. Laurenne Ross was 11th, giving the defending-champion U.S. women four in the top 15.
The 1-2 finish by Vonn and Cook marked the first for the U.S. women since Vonn (then Kildow) and Mancuso swept the top two spots on Dec. 20, 2006, in Val d'Isere, France.
For Vonn, who reached 83 mph on the men's Olympic track, the win was the 54th of her career, and fifth straight in Lake Louise. Yet she gave credit to her teammate after the race.
"I'm so proud of Stacey. She's had the ability to be a podium skier for so long. She really deserved to be there today," Vonn said.
Cook said she appreciates her teammate's encouragement.
"It's really nice and awesome to have that support," Cook said. "We've been friends for so long. She's seen the battles that I've gone through and I've seen her battles. She's been so supportive of my journey, and it means a lot. And it's everyone on the team. I felt a lot of love from them today. It's what a team should be."
Cook's podium finish was even sweeter in the company of her parents, who made a rare trip from the Sierra Valley near Loyalton to watch her perform. Cook said they only attend one race every two or three years.
"So they picked a good one," she said.
The women race another downhill on Saturday.

In a criminal case, the incriminating evidence must be admissible in court. It must be credible. And, it must be more than a tantalizing theory for the court of public opinion.
The evidence must prove the defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
My office's standard for bringing a criminal prosecution is as follows: Consistent with the discretion afforded to an elected district attorney under the constitution and laws of this state, we will criminally prosecute a defendant when the credible evidence, likely admissible in court, establishes (1) that a crime has been committed and (2) that the defendant committed that crime.
When we have enough evidence to prosecute, we prosecute. When we don't have enough evidence, we can't prosecute.
To do otherwise would be unethical because it would run the risk of wrongfully convicting an innocent person.
It would also be unethical to adopt a different prosecution standard, such as "it is what it is," or "someone has to pay for this," or "let's roll the dice," or "the detectives think she did it," or "let's indict and see what happens," or "let her prove her innocence."
I recognize there are those who might genuinely disagree with our prosecution decisions.
It would, however, be both unethical and irresponsible to ignore the presumption of innocence, the requirement that the defendant's guilt be proven beyond a reasonable doubt, the laws that will pertain to the case, the adequacy or inadequacy of the police investigation, both the strengths and the weaknesses of the prosecution proof and the expectations of a modern jury.
I proudly served as an assistant district attorney for more than 20 years and as this county's chief homicide prosecutor for nearly eight years before I became the district attorney. My office is not shy about prosecuting tough cases and we have successfully done so time and time again.
More importantly, justice demands that a professional prosecutor should not only be tough, but also be fair.
In the Office of the Erie County District Attorney, prosecution decisions are based upon serious consideration of the facts and the law and are made in accordance with professional prosecution standards. I humbly submit that this approach best promotes justice for all.
Frank A. Sedita III is Erie County district attorney.
