Response time and quality of customer service are in no way related, so this survey seems to be pretty useless overall. What's the point of the phone being answered within 30 seconds if you get the help you were seeking. There is no correlation.

If you get the help you are seeking then whats the problem?

call volume and response time directly affect customer satisfaction, the more customers call back the bigger the call volume gets plain and simple, if customers aren't satisfied then they will be calling back. The bigger the call volume the longer wait before a rep can answer a call, that means sprint is doin somethin right whether u want to believe it or not, but we still need a long way to go IMO

Sprint customer service has indeed improved imho. I visit the stores and is amazing to see the customer focus that they have vs the sales oriented environment when I go to V. The Verizon guys go all out to try to sell you, Sprint guys try to get to know what you need and match those needs. Every 2 years when my contract expires I go shopping around and my Verizon contract is about to expire and Simply Everything here I come.

Well it sucks that you get that treatement at a VZW store. From someone who's gone through many VZW training classes, It's not about the companies bottom line, but making sure the customer has everything they need. Sure there is some selling involved to do this... sometimes custoemrs don't know about something they may need or want.

The only people who think customer service is good, are the people who get credits, Free ****, or what ever it is they were calling in about. It's not about speed or how nice you were or following policy to do the right thing. It's about the customer getting they're way, that's why in other polls like JD power, ranks Tmobile #1 all the time, because when customers call in, OHH your unhappy here is 500 minutes, or here is a $20 bill credit have a nice Day. And the customer is Happy. real customer service is Ohh your unhappy because little timmy went over his minutes, and used texting even though you told him not too. Well, maybe little timmy shoudl have a timeout, and a spanking and you should go to parenting class, you get no extra min's and no bill credit have a nice day.

Melanoma (skin cancer)
Melanoma (skin cancer) is a cancer of melanocytes (the pigment-producing cells of the skin). Irregular cells develop when the melanocytes erratically multiply and invade surrounding tissue. Malignant melanomas can spread from the original tumor and travel through the blood to other vessels and organs.
Latest Research Update: We are currently collecting blood and tissue samples. These will be used to identify melanoma associated mutations and genes in the different breeds.
Breeds: Scottish Terriers, Cocker Spaniels, Labrador Retrievers, Rottweiler and other breeds
Main collaborators: Malin Melin (Swedish University of Agricultural Science), Catherine André (Université de Rennes) and LUPA

Braun appealed that finding and was awaiting the arbitration panel's ruling.
Obviously, if the reigning National League MVP is missing for the first 50 games of the season, it damages the Brewers' chances of repeating as Central Division champions.
The Brewers already are missing the services of slugger Prince Fielder, who bolted for Detroit via free agency.
But the show must go on, with or without Braun, so the Brewers must prepare as best they can for the start of the season. If Braun indeed is suspended, left field will become a focal point in camp, with newcomer Norichika Aoki entering the picture.
Aoki was a three-time batting champion in Japan but the Brewers aren't sure how his skill set will translate to the major leagues. Thus, he will be given a long look in spring camp, with plenty of playing time once exhibition play begins.
Another big focus will be Mat Gamel getting his chance to be the everyday first baseman.
General manager Doug Melvin and manager Ron Roenicke have vowed to give Gamel every chance to replace Fielder after two big seasons in Triple-A. It will be up to Gamel to reward that confidence by showing he can handle the work.
The Brewers also are eager to watch the new, veteran left side of the infield in action. Third baseman Aramis Ramirez and shortstop Alex Gonzalez, both signed as free agents, are proven performers. Ramirez will be counted on for run production while Gonzalez's main task will be to provide reliable defense.
For the first time in many, many years, the rotation returns intact, with right-handers Yovani Gallardo, Zack Greinke and Shaun Marcum, and left-handers Randy Wolf and Chris Narveson.
That security blanket will be counted on to give the Brewers a chance to win virtually every day, even when they don't score a lot of runs.
The Brewers also feel very good about the back end of their bullpen, with Francisco Rodriguez and John Axford back to handle the eighth and ninth innings. The main goal will be to fill the middle of the bullpen, with left-handers Manny Parra and Zach Braddock back from health issues and ready to compete for jobs.
The Brewers also must rebuild their bench after the losses of veterans Craig Counsell, Mark Kotsay and Jerry Hairston Jr. Two reserve infield jobs are up for grabs, with Jeff Bianchi, Cesar Izturis and Brooks Conrad among the favorites.

Methodist West Houston Hospital is the fifth Methodist hospital to serve those in the Greater Houston area.
When I first started this blog last spring I reported on several different projects Methodist Hospital was involved with including the 473,000 square-foot North pavilion at Methodist Hospital Willowbrook. In that post which you can visit here, I mentioned that Methodist would be opening up another new hospital in the Northwest side of town by the end of the year; Methodist West Houston Hospital.
Methodist West Houston Hospital at I10 and Barker Cypress (18500 Katy Freeway) opened as scheduled on December 17, 2010, and is already experiencing a lot of traffic. They have 450 employees now, but are continuing to grow in response to patient volume. Currently, they have 50 to 60 jobs posted such as nurses, clinical support staff–lab, pharmacy, radiology, food and nutrition, environmental services, physical therapists, patient access and coders.
According to Sherene Thompson, director of human resources for Methodist West Houston Hospital, in another one to two months they expect to have more jobs posted such as RN's, pharmacy staff, patient care assistants and admitting representatives so they can become staffed for all 112 beds by the middle of 2011.
After which they will add another 80 beds which Sherene says could happen as early as 2011 or sometime in 2012. The additional beds will create the need for more than 400 new jobs, assuming they staff up all at once.
While Sherene said salary for each position really depends on the experience and education of the applicant, they have positions available from minimum wage on up and the hospital is committed to offering competitive compensation and generous benefits.
While they don't have statistics available yet in regards to patient visits, Sherene said last Saturday night 40 people visited the emergency room, which is busy considering they just opened less than a month ago and didn't do much marketing prior to opening the doors. "We wanted to make sure we had everything worked out so that we could ensure a safe environment for both employees and patients," she said.
I'll keep you posted on the hospital's growth; but for now if you want to find out what's available, visit http://careers.methodisthealth.com/WestHouston.aspx.

As two trains move along a track, their conductors suddenlynotice that they are headed toward each other. Figure 2-27
gives their velocities v as functions of time tas the conductors slow the trains. The figure's vertical scaling isset by vs = 43.0 m/s. The slowing processesbegin when the trains are 204 m apart. What is their separationwhen both trains have stopped?
I tried this problem and got it wrong. I was able to come upwith d = 107.5 m for Train 1 but I think I am missing somethingwhen I try to calculate d for Train 2.
The part of this question that confuses me the most if whenit says "The figure's vertical scaling is set byvs = 43.0 m/s." I think I don't reallyunderstand how to read the graph correctly.
Help is appreciated

"He got to the point where he would order two large pizzas and have them delivered to his bedroom," Christian said. "He came in (for treatment) on a flatbed truck."
Once admitted to Windsor Lane Health Care Center in Gibsonburg, Minch adopted a program developed by Christian and his wife, June, a nutritionist. The plan, called "Mannafast Gastric Conditioning," enabled the man to lose 1,000 pounds without bariatric surgery. He did have surgery to remove excess skin.
In documenting that case and others, the Christians put together a weight-loss book with a spiritual element. "Mannafast Miracle: How to Lose up to 1000 Pounds," published by BookMasters Inc. in Mansfield now is available.
At 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Christian is to launch the book officially in Franks Hall at Tiffin University.
This past Friday, Christian took part in a live radio interview to promote the book's release. A native of the island of Dominique, he spoke about what brought him to Tiffin. After he and June earned degrees at Howard University in Washington, D.C., Christian served for 12 years as a battalion surgeon in the U.S. Army Reserve before opening an office in Tiffin.
"I was recruited to Mercy Hospital for general surgery in 1991 and performed several weight-loss surgeries early on. I have since focused my career on tackling the roots of obesity on a national level," Christian said.
In addition to performing surgery, he and June founded Heartland Nutrition Institute. June, who holds a Ph.D. in clinical nutrition, was employed as a science instructor at Tiffin University.
As more clients sought help with weight management, Christian became heavily involved with the Windsor Lane facility, a nursing home where he was the medical director.
About eight years ago, the facility devoted itself to treating the morbidly obese of all ages. Patients typically range in age from ones in their 20s to ones in their 60s. Christian said the longest stay so far was three years.
The patient who started Christian's specialty was a man who needed hip surgery but was instructed to lose 50 pounds. With Christian's guidance, the weight came off, and the patient was able to have the hip procedure.
"After that, requests just kept coming in for non-surgical weight loss. We have requests from all over the United States," Christian said. "I currently have about 60 patients from all over the country — California, Texas, Vermont, Nevada, North Carolina, Georgia, West Virginia and Michigan."
In the book's fifth chapter, Christian explains the key component of the cure is a smaller stomach. Rather than reducing the stomach with surgery, patients are coached to refrain from eating so the stomach shrinks from disuse, just as a paralyzed limb would do.
The author said he discovered the technique while preparing people for gastric bypass. They were supervised in a systematic fasting regimen before the surgery. Christian said the goal was to familiarize patients with new eating patterns that would be essential for sustained weight control after the surgery.
"Some did so well, they began putting off the surgery. This was rather frustrating at first, because, to be perfectly honest, an operation meant more money for me. Yet, I had to confess, that these patients were much happier than those who had surgery. … These patients had in effect, performed major surgery on their own minds and spirits," Christian writes.
In the book, he also cites the body's ability to adjust the size of its organs and tissues. A blood vessel can stretch to allow circulation to flow around a clot. The uterus can enlarge to hold a fetus and then return to its normal size in the weeks following delivery.
Health care providers have become alarmed about Americans' rising obesity rate, especially in children.
Statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and the National Institutes of Health indicate the number of overweight Americans has been rising more rapidly in the last 25 years. In 1900, about 6 percent of Americans were overweight; by 1960, it was 12 percent; in 1980, 15 percent. The figures for the year 2000 showed about 25 percent of the U.S. population were too heavy.
Christian also points out that weight gain often is linked to an emotional experience. Many people resort to "the comforting arms of food" in an effort to cope with unpleasant happenings. The author said his book is intended to guide people into healthy lifestyles and thought patterns to prevent excessive weight and its related health risks.
"We want to take it out of the operating room and into the schools and churches," Christian said. "My whole thrust is to get them to the point where they don't have to be put into a facility to lose enormous amounts of weight."
Minch's recovery from life-threatening obesity and Christian's gastric conditioning approach to weight loss were featured on the Discovery Channel in 2003. The video has been broadcast several times each year since then, Christian said. He is expecting another film crew from Germany to be in Gibsonburg Sept. 23.
People planning to attend the book launching Tuesday evening are asked to register online at www.mannafast.org or call (419) 447-9313. In addition to remarks from the author, some of Christian's patients are expected to speak for the event at Tiffin University. Admission is free.
Fact BoxWHERE TO FIND IT: "Mannafast Miracle" sells in soft cover for $20 and is available locally at Paper and Ink, The Cross, The Angelus and Christian's office at 478 W. Market St. For more details about the book and ordering information, visit the Web site.

June 26, 2011Posted Monday, June 27, 2011, at 9:59 AM
We met as your city government last Monday night and approved a budget for the fiscal year 2011-2012. We then, much to the chagrin of Councilman Dell, who worked so hard to make the budget balance, proceeded to bust it. It doesn't even go into effect until July 1. I have said before that the budget is just a roadmap. We are required by law to produce one, and it does make you concentrate on potential revenue and expenses for the coming year. Anyway, we approved the budget and then found out that we needed to buy a vehicle. The cost of the vehicle wasn't in the proposed budget because when the budget was completed, the vehicle had not given up the ghost or in reality its engine. Thankfully, Malden does have a surplus to cover these expediencies. We also raised the salaries of three positions prior to the fiscal year but after the budget was supposedly finished.
We approve the budget by city ordinance. If the information above sounds like something from the federal city we also amended the 2010-2011 budget by ordinance to reflect all the changes we made to it in the last twelve months. We will spend your money wisely or foolishly depending on your point of view.
The meetings began at 6:30 P.M. and we left the building about 10:40 p.m. The first meeting was of the Malden Nutrition Center, Inc., and its purpose was to approve their budget. The "Inc." is not the Malden Nutrition Center. The "Inc." owns the building occupied by the nutrition center and the "Inc." receives your sales tax dollars and sends them to the USDA Rural Development Fund to pay for our new nutrition center. That's the way the feds wanted it done, and he who holds the purse strings gets to make the rules.
The second meeting was of Malden Capital Improvement, Inc. That "Inc." owns the new police station and also receives your sales tax dollars. I will refer to feds, purse strings, and rules mentioned in the above paragraph.
The Malden Municipal Golf Course was discussed at length. I proposed that the City of Malden pay off those debts that we are legally obligated to pay. The total is about $36,000, and the monthly payments are around $2,500. There were no takers for that deal. My thought was to get this golf course question in some shape for maneuver (sounds way to much like manure). The city will have to pay at least the $36,000, and if we pay it now maybe the municipal course can survive. Maybe there can be some sort of shotgun marriage between the country club and the municipal course. There are a lot of "maybes" in there, but I don't see any progress being made to solve this problem. There is some talk of a 1/8% sales tax to support the course, and there is a strong feeling to just let it close and go away.
I instructed the city treasurer by letter that I would only sign checks to pay bills for the municipal course after the first of each month. I want to know their receipts for each month, and then I will pay first the approximately $2,500 the city must pay. All other debts including payroll are secondary. It is sink, swim, or make a deal time. I believe that men and women of good will can always solve these problems. Some kind of compromise is possible. Henry Clay was the U.S. Senator known as the Great Compromiser. Senator Clay said the definition of a good compromise was when, "All the parties walk away a little unhappy." Mick Jagger said, "You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes you just might find you get what you need."
The American Cancer Society held its Relay for Life rally this past Saturday at the Malden Community Center. The Survivors Breakfast was at 9:00 a.m. The breakfast was well attended. When the group of people all of whom were cancer survivors walked out the front door it was a very emotional moment for those of us working in the parking lot. Cancer is still a dread disease, but it is no longer the death sentence it was in my past. I witnessed the living proof.
The financial report is as follows:

Judge retains aiding the enemy charges against Bradley Manning
Charge carries punishment of life in prison without parole
UPDATED 2:46 PM CDT Jul 18, 2013
A judge refused to throw out charges of aiding the enemy against Bradley Manning on Thursday.
Manning is the Oklahoma soldier charged with the biggest intelligence leak in U.S. history.
Manning's defense team hoped to get the aiding the enemy charge dropped. It carries a punishment of life in prison without parole.
Manning has already pleaded guilty to some charges and faces 20 years for those offenses.

It reminds me...... My M28 needs another roommate
May 3, 2007, 10:04 PM
Educate me, but weren't the pre 29s five screws?
Cause that looks like my 29-2. Except your grips are prettier.
But if that's a pre 29, then the grips aren't original to the gun, are they?
May 3, 2007, 10:14 PM
there are 5 and 4 screw pre 29s, no those are not the correct grips, but i do have the coke bottle grips but i dont keep those on there for shooting as they sell for up to $400 now, but ill send you a pic if you like? csa:)
May 4, 2007, 12:01 AM
Isn't the 4th screw on the upper portion of the side plate? I think that must be a 3 screw non marked as Model 29. A beautiful gun never the less! I don't think there are many 5 screw .44 magnums as by 1957 they were going to 4 screws. I think 4 screws went away in 1962 or 63, I was just getting into college, and the .44s were pretty exotic!
May 4, 2007, 01:00 AM
Isn't the 4th screw on the upper portion of the side plate?
Yeah, that's right. The fifth screw was on the front of the trigger guard.
May 4, 2007, 01:39 AM
It is a four screw Pre 29. Screw locations are one in front of trigger guard, three on lower side plate. Two exposed, one covered by grips.
Just like this 29 no dash
For Reference:
May 4, 2007, 10:46 AM
Wow that clears that up! I really thought the trigger guard screw went first!
May 4, 2007, 10:37 PM
Some really nice 44's shown here. Here is another pre 29 - I added the Target Ivories. This is a four screw gun. :D
May 5, 2007, 12:40 PM
The .44 Magnum (I am getting away from the "pre" terminology) came out in 1956. In 1957 the upper side plate screw was eliminated and late in the year the model numbers appeared. The 5 screw guns are rare because they were only made for a year or so and a 4 screw non-model marked .44s may be even harder to find because production was likely less than a year. In 1962 the trigger guard screw was eliminated (thus becoming the 29-2... the -1 came in 1961 when they changed the thread on the ejector...). I think the 4" barrel became available in 1957 (or maybe 1958?).
At least, I think that's how it went.
May 5, 2007, 12:58 PM
Pre 29s eh? I'll play....
May 8, 2007, 12:09 AM

CANTON - Statistics-wise, Tiffin held the advantage through the air. But that was only when the Dragons could throw.
Walsh's defense recorded eight sacks and returned an interception 37 yards for a score Saturday in a 27-3 Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference triumph at Fawcett Stadium.
"O-line and quarterback just didn't have a good day," TU coach Gary Goff said. "Kind of the story of the day; our quarterback play was not at its best either.
"We didn't come out ready to play. We just didn't finish drives," he said.
"They're good against the run. The stats, I think from what they gave us, we ran the ball effectively, won every category," he said. "We've got to finish drives. We made critical mistakes at critical times."
The Cavaliers (3-5, 2-5 GLIAC) led 14-0 at the first stop, thanks to Jack Dawson's 25-yard striked to Darryl Gary and Justin Keith's 1-yard dive.

The Dragons (2-6, 1-6) got on the board at the 9:03 mark of the third quarter when Seth Pekoe connected on a 27-yard field goal.
Walsh blocked his 48-yard try midway through the fourth quarter, then extended its lead when Dawson bulled in from a yard with 5:45 left in the game.
Jamaris Brown returned his pick for a score 51 seconds later to close out the scoring.
All that came despite Dan Pitts going 34 of 52 through the air for 326 yards for TU. However, he was sacked eight times and lost one of his four fumbles.
Obadiah Dykes caught eight passes for 73 yards and Tyler Jones had six receptions for 81 yards, with eight other Dragons reeling in balls.
However, the Cavaliers stymied TU's run game, allowing only 14 net yards on the ground.
Meanwhile, Keith ran 28 times for 112 yards for Walsh.

Scientists Say Smaller 2006 Landslide Set The Stage For Oso Disaster
A small landslide in 2006 set the stage for the catastrophe that claimed 43 lives in Oso, Washington this past March, say a panel of scientists in a federally-funded study.
The hills above the North Fork of the Stillaguamish River had slid before, at least 15 times over the centuries, according to the study.
But one slide in particular left Oso vulnerable. In 2006, that smaller slide left a loosely-packed mass of debris perched dangerously above the Steelhead Haven development and its neighbors.
Joseph Wartman, an associate professor of civil and environmental engineering at the University of Washington, is the lead researcher on the study. He says last spring, rains saturated the unstable ground and let loose a huge slab. Within seconds, the earth liquefied, sending a torrent more than half a mile across the valley floor.
The length of its path of destruction turned out to be within the normal range for this kind of slide, Wartman says, but it still seems shocking.
"You know, when we were at the site and you take a look at it, even as someone who's a trained professional in this area, it's difficult to imagine that run-out could come that far, when you look up to the slope," Wartman said.
Minutes after that slide, a second, higher mass of earth slipped, filling the bald spot left by the first.
The study noted widespread timber harvests in the immediate area of the slide, but didn't analyze exactly what role forest practices might have played. Researchers say they wouldn't expect it to be a major factor, though, and note that landslides are evident in the valley for millennia before people started cutting down trees.
In all, researchers say the slide moved 270 million cubic feet of earth, and was the deadliest in American history.
Just as the team was delivering its findings, word came that the landslide's final missing victim appears to have been recovered. Search crews believe they found the body of 44-year-old Molly Kristine Regelbrugge.

As April showers give way to May flowers, pollen and other allergens can be a nuisance that last through the summer months.
When residents come in contact with an allergen such as pollen, mold or pet hair, they can experience itchiness, a runny nose, sneezing or the inflammation of breathing airways, said Scott Pace, an allergist and internist with University of Colorado Health's Greeley Medical Center.
Pace said allergy season begins with the pollination of juniper, cedar and elm trees between about mid-February to mid-April. This year's allergy season got started around the beginning of March, he said. The pollination of hardwoods such as poplars, aspens and cottonwoods occurs near the third week in March and tends to drop off in May.
"Once the trees have leafed out, the pollen is gone," Pace said.
Once the season has started, pollen can be nearly impossible to avoid, Pace said. While some recommend closing windows and not hanging laundry out to dry, Pace said pollen is so ubiquitous, these tips might not offer any relief.
"All of those are impractical," Pace said. "Pollens are microscopic and blow for miles."
Instead, Pace said over-the-counter medications are effective for many people who experience seasonal allergies. Antihistamines can take care of most allergy symptoms except for decongestion, however, Pace said he doesn't prescribe his patients any antihistamines with pseudoephedrine because it can cause an unsafe increase in blood pressure in some people.
For decongestion, Pace said he recommends using a topical decongestant for three days at a time or a nasal steroid spray.
For symptoms that don't get better with the use of over-the-counter medicines, Pace suggested people seek out a board-certified allergist.

Our study shows that many primary care physicians in the United States do not implement FOBT screening according to major national guidelines (1–3, 7, 14). Many physicians reported that they used in-office rather than home tests, and many reported using inappropriate tests to follow up abnormal screening results. In an earlier paper from the SCCSP, we reported on the frequent use of in-office tests by specialty (16). In the current paper, we report characteristics of physicians who use in-office tests and report for the first time, to our knowledge, on the tests that physicians say they recommend to follow up positive FOBT results. Because these findings are from a large, nationally representative survey with a high response rate, we believe they reflect the use of FOBT by physicians across the United States. Patients in the 2000 NHIS confirmed these findings by reporting widespread use of in-office tests (22) and repeated FOBTs and infrequent total colon examination after a positive test result.
*Of the 1235 survey respondents, 1120 ordered or performed FOBT at least once per month and responded to the follow-up question ("Which of the following do you usually recommend to a healthy, average-risk patient as an initial follow-up step to a positive FOBT? [check all that apply]: repeat FOBT, flexible sigmoidoscopy, colonoscopy, double-contrast barium enema, other [describe].").

A man was arrested after trying to break into a home, then confronting the homeowner, police said.
Officers rushed to a home in the 2300 block of NW 20th Street Friday around 9 p.m.
According to police, a man had just finished eating dinner with his wife and children. He told police he went outside and heard a window shatter. Officers said the man then saw William Henry Dease, 64, who was drunk and holding a wooden table leg.
According to police, the homeowner told Dease the police were coming, and Dease confronted him. Investigators said the homeowner then punched Dease and held him until officers showed up.
Dease was arrested on complaints of burglary and public drunkenness, officers said.

BAY CITY — Although a jury didn't convict a Pinconning man of attempting to kill an Essexville woman, prosecutors are taking solace in the fact that the defendant will still be spending some time behind bars.
Bay County Assistant Prosecutor Jordan E. Case argued throughout the lengthy trial that Stanley "Mike" Milostan, 62, shot Amy L. Borieo over a drug debt the evening of March 15, 2010. Milostan testified Borieo hit him from behind with a ball peen hammer, prompting him to shoot her at least four times in self-defense.
Jurors began deliberating Monday morning and delivered their verdicts Tuesday afternoon, finding Milostan not guilty of assault with attempt to murder and other assaultive charges, but guilty of possession of marijuana with intent to deliver and possession of a firearm in the commission of a felony. The latter charge carries with it a mandatory sentence of two years in prison, to be served consecutively with any other sentence.
"At end of the day, it's very hard to prosecute cases when only two people know what went on," Case said. "That's a lot of what we deal with, of what goes to trial."
Case added that he spoke with eight jurors after the verdict was read.
"The jury told me ... that they believed Mr. Milostan was guilty but that they didn't have enough evidence to prove it beyond a reasonable doubt," he said. "They couldn't determine from the evidence who swung first or who fired first."
Borieo testified Milostan gave her marijuana and money for sex. Milostan said Borieo gave him marijuana, which he then gave to his cancer-stricken wife and a friend.
Police recovered 8.3 grams of marijuana from Milostan's truck, which was parked at the scene of the shooting.
Bay County Kurt C. Asbury said that while justice was not completely served, he is pleased Milostan will still face some consequences for his actions.
"Considering the length of deliberations being almost two days, it's apparent this case was very difficult for the jurors," Asbury said. "Although we were hoping for a different result, the defendant will be spending time in prison as a result of his convictions for possession of marijuana with intent to distribute and felony firearm."
Milostan had six lacerations to his scalp. Borieo said she hit him with the hammer after he fired his first shot into her chest.
"We believe Amy Borieo's version of events," Case said. "I'm not going to back down when people are victimized, whether they come from unfortunate circumstances or not, that's our job."
Milostan is jailed on a $200,000 cash-surety bond. Bay County Circuit Judge Joseph K. Sheeran is scheduled to sentence him on Oct. 24.

The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.

They are expensive, but you do not need to eat as much. One package last the whole week.
They are amazing! I have tried so many glutenfree cookies, but never found one I could "fall in love with", but this one does it. It's absolutely perfect!

These cookies are delicious. Great taste! The only minus is that they are really dry. Many of the cookies were smashed when I opened the box.

State of Europe's Forests 2011 Report Launched
14 June 2011: The UN Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE), the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and Forest Europe have collaborated to produce "State of Europe's Forests 2011: Status and Trends in Sustainable Forest Management in Europe," launched during the Ministerial Conference on the Protection of Forests in Europe (or FOREST EUROPE) held in Oslo, Norway from 14-16 June 2011.
The report is based on detailed information provided by countries. The main findings of the report include that: forests cover one billion hectares in Europe, 80% of which are in the Russian Federation; European forests are expanding and remove the equivalent of about 10% of European greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions; most Europeans think that their forests are shrinking; the sector provides four million jobs and accounts for 1% of the region's GDP; low carbon-nitrogen ratios in forest soils will be problematic in several locations; and most countries have explicit objectives on forest-related carbon.
Authors of the report developed a draft method to assess European forests' sustainability, which while not yet peer-reviewed, identifies a number of threats and challenges, including: landscape fragmentation; a shrinking and aging workforce; negative net revenues of several forest enterprises; and mobilizing enough wood for energy while reconciling biodiversity values and the needs of the traditional wood sectors.

Many know him as a martial arts master and actor. But these days, Chuck Norris is playing another role - that of political activist.
Norris hit the 2008 presidential campaign trail earlier this year, where he threw his support behind GOP presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee, criss-crossing the country in what came to be known as the 'Huck and Chuck' tour.
After Huckabee bowed out of the race, Norris continued to speak out about the most pressing issues facing America.
In his book, Black Belt Patriotism, How to Reawaken America, Norris argues that America needs to return to its Christian roots, secure its borders, and regain its fiscal sanity.

I live in the reddest state in America. My vote in the presidential election won't count. But I'm voting anyway. It's my statement – a tiny, insignificant statement, it's true, but still my statement. I am proud to be one of the 34.35%. (Interesting they have the colors backward in this graphic)
Think about what that number means. It means that in a state that prides itself on being conservative, a little over one third of voters disagree with the majority. Each of our votes is a tiny, personal statement but together they make a larger statement. Not enough of a statement to change Oklahoma's seven electoral votes but still an important statement – a statement to my fellow Oklahomans that their beloved conservatism is not nearly as universal as they would like to believe.
And what if everyone who is planning to stay home because their vote "won't count anyway" decided to vote tomorrow? There is still no chance it would be enough to turn Oklahoma blue but maybe that 34+% might go up to 35% or even 37%. Dare we dream of 38%? That's starting to look a bit more significant isn't it? We're more than just a handful of weirdos. Will the majority pay any more attention to us? No, they won't. But the higher that number goes the harder it will be to deny that we exist. And maybe someday… who knows?
So anyway, whether you're a blue person in a red state or a red person in a blue state, go out and make your statement tomorrow.

Six-pack abs? Yawn.
Dancing with the Stars' breakout heartthrob, William Levy, boasts what his partner Cheryl Burke calls "12-pack abs." And his fans have definitely noticed.
"I have never heard it that loud in there," Burke says of the deafening roar that fills the ballroom when Levy takes the floor. "He's like a rock star!"
But while he's turning millions of heads each week on the ABC hit, Levy, 31, is also marveling at how far he's come.
"To come to this country and receive this kind of love from people you don't even know, it's amazing," he tells PEOPLE in this week's cover story.
The Telenova star and father of two – to son Christopher, 6, and daughter Kailey, 2, with on-and-off girlfriend Elizabeth Gutiérrez – also opens up about his early lean years in Cuba before emigrating to the U.S. at 15.
"I try to give my kids everything I never had," he says.

Jay Silverheels (Tonto) Rides Again, This Time in a Sulky
Actor Jay Silverheels, who played Tonto, the masked man's faithful Indian companion, is pleased by the show's continued popularity, even though he no longer receives royalties. "The moral of the stories was always good. There wasn't so much violence," says Silverheels, the father of three daughters and a son whom he calls "Indialians" because his wife Mary is of Italian descent. (As Tonto he always called the Lone Ranger "Kemo Sabay," which means "faithful friend."
These days, instead of shouting "Get 'em up, Scout!" Silverheels, 55, is putting another horse through its paces. It's Tribal Dance, his 3-year-old pacer, which he is readying for its first race.
Horses have always been a passion of the full-blooded Mohawk Indian, born Harold J. Smith on the Six Nations reservation near Brantford, Ont. His grandfather, a Mohawk chief, called little Harry "Silverheels" because he was such a fast runner, and Smith changed his name legally in 1971. "As a child, I used to help a neighbor train and jog his horses. Later, Milan Smith, my manager, had horses, and I used to come to Hollywood Park to exercise them," says Silverheels.
In spring 1974, Silverheels, who had been a boxer and lacrosse player before he turned actor, decided to try his hand at harness racing while not involved in movies, TV commercials and appearances at state fairs and shopping centers. By last September he had competed in 25 races and won four. One time, as he was driving a horse named Silver King to victory, an enthusiastic—if confused—race caller cheered, "Hi-yo, Silver!"
Silverheels suffered a stroke shortly thereafter. The illness has curtailed his racing temporarily, but he expects to be back in the driver's seat by summer. With his doctor's encouragement, he drives 120 miles from his Canoga Park ranch house to the track at Del Mar, Calif. once a week to give Tribal Dance a workout. "It's very good therapy," he says.
Silverheels' winning way with horses caused a problem in the days of yore, he discloses. The vaunted Silver was a bit of a slowpoke, and as the two men galloped into the sunset, Scout had to be reined in lest he leave the masked stranger in that traditional cloud of dust.

Police beat
by Mina Hochberg
Underage liquor consumption:
At 11 p.m. on August 2, police responding to complaints of a loud party at a residence on the 17400 block of 143rd Pl. NE cited a 19-year-old and two 18-year-old males for underage consumption of alcohol.
Stolen stereo:
At some time between August 1 and 2, an unknown suspect pried open the cab window of a black '89 Toyota pickup parked at an apartment complex on the 13300 block of NE 171 St. and stole the stereo, two subwoofers, amplifier and two speakers. The equipment was valued at $545.
Family dispute:
At approximately 5 p.m. on August 3, a 24-year-old female was booked for fourth degree assault after threatening to kill her mother and father. She put her hands around the mother's neck following a verbal dispute and later punched the father on the cheek when he took a rock from her after she had threatened to throw it.

These tights truly are amazing! super thick(and soft), don't have to worry about holes as much. I have the Fluorescent Yellow / Coral and wear them with these two gray and black geometric-y dresses and a solid deep purple mini dress. the looks i get amuse me:P
If you aren't totally comfortable in these i recommend wearing them under lace tights!

Bought these and they're sooooo cute.
The second time I wore them though, they developed a hole, but it didn't ladder. So adorable, but definitely not worth buying as they'll rip immediately.

absolutely love them! have them in the black/cream combo and got so many compliments on them. other reviews have said they rip and ladder easily so being in england in the snow i wore them with two 15 denier pairs of skin tone stockings underneath (just normal ones form primark) so when you pull them on the tension isn't all on the two colour stockings! have only worn them once but so far so good!

Bring back the Raisin/Twilight ones please! They were by far the best color combo.
September 5, 2010
i bought these in the cream/mint green color (it says they're not available online, but i bought them in the store) and i loved them in the package, but when i put them on they were so opaque they looked like normal white tights. i ended up returning them, but i'm sure i wouldn't have been disappointed by any other color

I got this in yellow/coral. I dont care if i look like a traffic light or some sort of clown. Maybe some of you dont have the confidence to wear it out. Im 5'5'' 120lbs 24 waist and 36 hips. It hits right above my belly button. The reason it gets 4 stars is because you CANNOT wear it out in the daytime in the middle of summer. It is much too thick. But for fall/winter it'll be great.

These tights are amazing! My new favourite item of clothing! I bought them in black/sand dollar and they look lovely with dresses or a black tshirt, shorts and heels for a night out. I'm 5"7" and they fit really well and they are very stretchy. An instant update to any wardrobe!

Love, love love these ♥
Brilliantly original, and good quality too!
Very durable, and less likely to get a hole in,
Amazing all round.

Amazing. I have the black/sand dollar ones and they're such good quality tights - sturdy, but not thick, and sleek. They add interest to any outfit without being too outlandish which makes them super versatile. LOVE them.

When I got the package, I fell in love straightaway with the raisin/twilight tights... and when I put them on, not only were they cute in that sort of mismatched way, they are quite sexy too. Definitely recommend if you want something new to play with ;)

Loved these tights, got them in Moon and almost a Lime color, I can't remember the name (basically white and a less fluorescent lime). I read earlier somewhere about white staining easily, but mine washed right out. I cut holes in the soles to make convertible tights to wear to dance, and they have no rips or runs after several 2 hour practices and a day of convention. AMAZING tights.

We are coming to the end of a year that has been tough for many individuals, businesses and governmental entities.
In 2010, we experienced individuals directed to take furlough days, being laid off or losing their jobs as the struggle to get our economy back on strong footing continues. Local business owners continued to be impacted by the economy, and several fires put a major hurt on our downtown business district.
15 Years Ago
1996 – A space heater was believed to be the cause of a fire which gutted the building on North Eighth Street housing the Sunshine House Health Food store. Vandalia firefighters battled extremely cold weather in putting out the blaze.
The Fayette County Board continued to study the county's need for more space. The board met in closed session for about 40 minutes to discuss property acquisition.
Andrea Lilly and Nick Hopfensperger were winners of "I Dare You" leadership awards.
20 Years Ago
Hughea Davenport was not a resident of our county, but his descendents were. It is through the late Berle Mattes that I received a copy of a memoir, written in May 1876 by his great-grandfather Davenport.
Hughea was 12 years old when he came to Illinois from Kentucky in 1824, settling with his family six miles west of the hamlet of Springfield, which Hughea told consisted of eight to 10 houses, several stores – including one with a whiskey barrel owned by Herndon – and the Capps brothers' hardware and shoe shop.

Ours is not to question why Sacramento wanted Hilton Armstrong.
Ours is just to sit back, giggle and pat the New Orleans Hornets on the back for finally managing to unload Armstrong, whose first name became "underachieving" while with New Orleans.
The No. 12 overall pick of the 2006 NBA Draft averaged 3.6 points and 2.7 rebounds per game in four seasons with the Hornets, 2.8 and 3.4 this season. And, yes, those are embarassingly pathetic numbers for a 6 feet 11 player who was as athletically gifted as Armstrong, who easily should've been able to post those numbers in a decent quarter or a bad half.
The fact that the Hornets were able to swap him for a second-round pick in 2016 says everything, because serviceable big men simply aren't exchanged for the equivalent of a bag of sneakers and compression shorts.
Now, what the Kings have planned for Armstrong, we aren't privy to. Actually, we don't much care because what they've done - in addition to helping the Hornets inch closer to avoiding paying the luxury tax - is take away an anchor. What the Kings have done, for whatever reason, is take a New Orleans problem and add it to their mix.
No, that doesn't eliminate the fact that the Hornets wasted 3 1/2 years fooling around with Armstrong, waiting for him to develop into a starter or, at least, into a productive reserve. New Orleans took Armstrong and Cedric Simmons with its first-round picks in 2006 (Armstrong was No. 15 overall), and got next to nothing from either. Ironically, Simmons' bio from this season lists his team as the Kings, too.
But at least the Hornets finally were able to unload Armstrong, whose flashes of good play weren't nearly enough to offset his mental and physical lapses. For every nice drop step and power layup, blocked shot and rebound, there were 10 times Armstrong fouled an opponent on the perimeter while reaching, or didn't rotate defensively, or jacked up an ill-advised jumper.
Ours is not to question why the Kings wanted him.
It's just to be happy, for the Hornets' sake, that they did.

Jay Sekulow Continues to Push False Claim that Obama is Threatening Military Voters
Yesterday we noted that Jay Sekulow's American Center for Law and Justice is pushing a bogus charge, initially leveled by Mitt Romney's campaign, that President Obama is trying to suppress the military vote in Ohio. The Obama campaign is challenging a new state law pushed by Republicans which limited early in-person voting to military personnel. The lawsuit's goal is to expand early in-person voting to all eligible voters, including 900,000 veterans, not to limit military voting.
Even the Romney campaign's general counsel admits that the lawsuit is not about excluding military voters but expanding the voter pool, as Washington Post's "The Fact Checker" reports: "As for the memo from Katie Biber, who serves as general counsel to the Romney campaign, the plaintiffs' argument of arbitrariness and unconstitutionality relates only to Ohio's exclusion of civilians from the later voting deadline, not to the privilege granted to service members…. Again, the emphasis throughout the Democratic complaint is that Ohio should protect the Equal Protection Clause by ordering the state to extend the later deadline to civilian voters."
But while Romney's own general counsel cannot honestly defend the campaign's preposterous claim, Jay Sekulow is standing by the debunked allegation.
Yesterday on Jay Sekulow Live, he berated Obama over the phony charge and said the ACLJ will file an amicus brief opposing the Obama campaign's challenge. Sekulow even added to the already manufactured claim by saying that the Obama campaign wants to restrict the voting of "military men and women serving overseas," even though the law only covers in-person early voting, and the challenge to it could in no way restrict the right of any service member to vote.
I want people to understand this, folks, the Obama administration has initiated this lawsuit, I should say to be particular the Obama re-election committee, it's Obama for America, has filed suit against Ohio because Ohio is trying to accommodate military men and women serving overseas. I want you to think about that for a moment. The Obama administration or their re-election committee has filed a federal lawsuit to stop a law that would allow for an accommodation for men and women serving in the military serving overseas to vote. How does that make you feel? I hope you get outraged as I am on this and that's why we're not just talking about it because on this broadcast we don't just talk about it we're taking direct action but this is where you come in, I want all of the states to come to the aid of Ohio and you can do that with me so no matter where you are living, we want you on this brief.
You got the Commander in Chief, the President of the United States' re-election committee, filing a lawsuit to stop an accommodation. I want people to understand this. The Commander in Chief of the United States has his re-election committee file a federal lawsuit against the state of Ohio and the state of Ohio with wide bipartisan Democratic and Republican support passed legislation accommodating military men and women so that they're vote will actually count. And the Obama re-election committee says 'well we think that is arbitrary, capricious and unconstitutional.'

On the Road Again
The Phillies have a 7 1/2 game lead in the National League East with 17 games to play. Hey, not even the Mets could blow that!
I'm guessing if the Phillies play well in Atlanta and Florida they clinch next weekend in Milwaukee. Anybody have any predictions on the date? First prize for the first person to pick the correct date is … pride. Yes, pride, the greatest prize of all, especially when there is no prize to give.
The Phillies open a 10-game road trip tonight with a three-game series in Atlanta, and that means one thing …
The Braves organist.
Don't know the Braves organist? Listen closely tonight when the Phillies are hitting. He sits behind the visiting media in the Turner Field pressbox and plays walk-up music to the opposing hitters. Usually the music is a play off their name or something else about them. Now this might not sound highly entertaining to you, but then you've never been me. It doesn't take much to get me excited. I'm from Wisconsin. We have a polka station in suburban Milwaukee. But during the first trip to Atlanta this year, I asked the guy if he could play some Michael McDonald (inside joke). He ended up playing the Doobie Brothers' "Takin' It to the Streets" every time Greg Dobbs hit. Get it? Dobbs. Doobie.
Hey, not every song works, although that one worked for me.

CLINTON — On Sept. 4 at 10:50 a.m., Sergeant J. Cory Kubinak stopped a vehicle, driven by John Tancredi Jr, 24, of High Bridge on Old Highway 22 for having a brake light out, police said.
Upon conducting a computer check on Tancredi, the sergeant discovered that his New Jersey driver's license was suspended and that he had a warrant for his arrest, police said.
The warrant was issued by the North Hunterdon Municipal Court for failing to appear on a previous charge of failure to obey a posted sign, police said. The warrant had an assigned bail of $114. Tancredi was charged with failure to maintain lamps and driving with a suspended license. He posted bail on the warrant and was released.

TRENTON — Concerned citizens gathered at the Trenton Police Athletic League yesterday evening to pool their efforts in preparation for a Sept. 13 rally to protest the massive layoff of more than a third of Trenton's police force.
Harry Jackendoff, a member and adjunct chair of the East District Citizen Police Advisory Council, led the meeting, in which he also announced plans to develop a volunteer community policing program, should the layoffs go through.
The group is targeting its protests not at Mayor Tony Mack who first proposed the cuts, but at the state, from which they hope to extract the $5.5 million needed to reinstate the 108 police officers slated to lose their jobs.
"The rally should, in my mind, be a rally that says, 'I want a safe city. We want the police to help make a safe city. And we need state funds to help the police help the city become safe,'" Jackendoff said.
Jackendoff welcomed the volunteer support of Lt. Mark Kieffer of the Trenton Superior Officers Association, and George Dzurkoc, president of Police Benevolent Association Local 11, who volunteered to speak at the event.
The group has planned to print, post and distribute fliers to local businesses and city and state offices, a week before the rally on Sept. 13, a date the group chose because it fell exactly one week before the layoff plan would come into effect, Jackendoff said.
Trying to muster as much support as possible, Jackendoff said he invited members of the Trenton Council of Civic Associations to attend the meeting, but none of them showed last night.
"I'm disappointed, you know? I sent out over 200 e-mails. I just think, 'This is Trenton,'" he said.
The group has not yet approached local legislators, members of city council or the mayor about participating in the protest, but it made plans to do so at last night's meeting, where roughly 30 people were in attendance. About 10 police officers were in the group.
The group also discussed plans to ask the victims and families of victims to speak before the crowd.
"My son was shot and killed," said Gilbert Bell, a resident of Trenton's East Ward since 1977. "We're still going through the trial. It may be possible that I could speak, but it's hard to say. I don't talk about it too much because of all the emotional repercussions."
In the event the group fails to gain emergency funding to keep police on the job, Jackendoff has a plan B ready.
"I really want the community policing to take off. Because even if we don't have the police officers, we're going to have to do something. We have speak to that."
Jackendoff said that if the layoff plan moves forward, the police will consolidate their operations at the station house on South Clinton Avenue, and that district stations will be closed.
Jackendoff will be meeting with police at the COMSTAT meeting this Thursday to pitch his idea for basing community safety patrols out of the unused or little used district stations to help bolster the thinned ranks of city police, he said.
"Trenton has got to stand up and help keep our city safe, especially if the 108 police are not able to do it. We have to do it." he said.
