Indictment returned in Brooke homicide case
WELLSBURG – A Brooke County grand jury has found probable cause in a case against a Burgettstown, Pa. man charged with the murder of Jason Lee Pratz of McKinleyville in February.
In a special session held Tuesday to consider only that case, the grand jury returned an indictment charging Rocco Jesse Zuccaro, 28, of Burgettstown, with murder in connection with the shooting death of Pratz.
Pratz, a former employee of Weirton Medical Center and volunteer with the Brooke Hills Park spookhouse, was found dead in his home on Genteel Ridge on Feb. 19.
A preliminary hearing for Zuccaro hasn't been set in Brooke County because he hasn't appeared for an extradition hearing in Washington County, where he has been held since his arrest on April 17.
Brooke County Prosecutor Joseph Barki III said he didn't know if the extradition hearing has been set.
Barki confirmed Zuccaro had voluntarily entered a mental health treatment facility at a time when the Brooke County Sheriff's Department considered him a suspect.
He said knowing that Zuccaro was confined allowed the sheriff's department to further collect and process evidence in the case without pursuing his arrest, which didn't occur until he was released from the facility.
Barki and Brooke County Sheriff Chuck Jackson have declined to comment on why Zuccaro was named a suspect or a possible motive. Jackson did say Zuccaro and Pratz were acquaintances.
Barki said Tuesday he is prepared for the possibility the case may go to trial and doesn't want to be accused of "trying the case through the press," thus prejudicing potential jurors' opinions.

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

SecureMail is a fully managed email protection service that prevents 99% of spam, phishing attempts, viruses, and other internet pollution from ever reaching your network. Since SecureMail is delivered as a service there is nothing to install, configure or manage. Setup is quick and easy, regardless of the size of the organization.
Norman's service relies a collaboration of automated systems and people to block spam and viruses. The system is designed as a continuous, large-scale learning process where human and machine elements work together to evaluate messages. The machines do things that the people can't, such as comparing and cataloging features on millions of messages very quickly. Likewise, people do things that the machine can't, like recognizing a new spam or obfuscation technique with a single spam sample.
SecureMail was designed to have built in redundancies at every level: from SAS70 Level 2 compliant data centers spread across different continents, to bundling bandwidth from six major Network Providers to ensure reliability. Our Tier-1 facilities are located in Texas, Virginia, London and Hong Kong and are well-protected against power failure, equipment malfunction and natural disaster.
In a fraction of a second, every piece of your company's email is subjected to a blend of proven filtering techniques. SecureMail filtering systems are constantly updated so illicit email is quickly identified and blocked. SecureMail can run approximately 70,000 signature tests against an email in under 5 milliseconds. Currently, SecureMail processes over 16 billion messages per month for about 45,000 companies on six continents.
The service is maintained and updated an average of 4,000 to 8,000 times a day, every day.
Yes, the optional outbound email filtering program cleans all internal emails before they are sent from the network's system. This spam filtering service reduces the risk of improper routing and misuse of the company's resources, as well as unapproved messaging.
Internal standard is less than 24 hours, but account creation and MX record change notices usually are sent out in under two hours.
SecureMail resides between the Internet and your mail server. If your email is hosted by a third party, SecureMail sits between the Internet and your mail hosting company. By replacing your MX record with an MX record provided by SecureMail, your inbound mail will travel from the internet, through our screening process, where it will be scanned for spam and viruses, and then be passed to your network.
Each user is sent a daily Held Spam Report. If SecureMail identifies a legitimate message as spam, users can instantly release the wanted message directly from the report. Web access to the quarantined email is also available to administrators or end-users.
Yes. If a client server is not accepting email for any reason, SecureMail's delivery manager will encrypt and queue email until the client server is back online. So even if your internal servers are damaged or destroyed, you will still have access to several days of email that has been preserved on Norman's servers.
Pricing for SecureMail is determined by your company's mailbox count, the required options, and by the length of service agreement. Contact us to receive pricing for your specific requirements.
Contact us your local Norman partner to setup your account. The next step will be to change your MX records, which we or your Norman partner can help you coordinate. Once the MX records have been changed, you are finished. No more spam

A security technology company has implemented a new theft management service that may interest schools running iPad programs. Absolute Software has introduced Computrace Mobile Theft Management, a program that registers devices and handles their discovery and return. It can also initiate paperwork in the event that police must become involved.
The Computrace service has existed for many years and the company claims that it has assisted in 28,000 "successful recoveries." What's new with this announcement is the focus specifically on iOS devices.
The Computrace service has two components: loss prevention and theft recovery. The first provides resources to help organizations register devices, generate identity tags, put on "awareness" campaigns, and perform device discovery and return. The second is instigated when a theft is reported. The Absolute "investigation and recovery team" initiates response, begins an investigation to gather information and evidence for the police, and prepares "court-ready" investigative reports. The company offers a service guarantee in the event that its team doesn't recover a stolen iPad.

"Where the bishop is, there is the community, even as where Christ is, there is the Catholic Church."
~ Ignatius of Antioch (Smyrn., viii, 2) circa A.D. 110, laid down this principle on true union with the Church, versus schism; all the more impressive because his casual use of the word "Catholic" demonstrates the widespread acceptance of the term at a very early date.

Open Sesame
Magical words for a magical meal at Arcadia's Sesame Grill
By Erica Wayne 03/20/2014
I can't believe that Arcadia's Sesame Grill will be celebrating its 20th birthday next year. It still looks like a kid, especially with its whimsical new lollypop-colored acrylic ceiling decorations (reminiscent of giant mutant poppies from outer space), gaily painted walls and glowing Technicolor wall sconces over each cozy booth, all right out of a psychedelic Cirque de Soleil/Dale Chihuly style dreamscape.
More important, Sesame Grill still acts like a kid, its kitchen busy exploring lots of 21st century cooking trends. The menu's chock full of come-hither words like sofrito, Callebaut, micro-greens and burrata. For starters, how about a roasted marrow bone with beef shank marmalade and a radish salad for $15.95? Or perhaps you would like pork rillettes with cornichons and a toasted baguette ($10.50), or a short stack of crispy fried eggplant with lava sea salt and wildflower honey ($9.95).
Entrees? Try a venison chop with butternut squash puree ($45) or saffron linguini with spinach and porcini, king oyster and black trumpet mushrooms ($23). There's also pan-seared Maple Leaf duck breast with lentils and red wine pear jus ($25) and 36-hour short ribs with potato puree, cippolini agrodolce and young carrots ($25).
Unlike some of the more avant-garde restaurants that have opened (and closed) in the past few years, there's still plenty of stuff that will resonate with your elders while you chow down on the more contemporary items, such as Scottish salmon with lemon caper sauce ($22), linguine with fresh Manila clams ($16.95), prime New York steak with red wine reduction sauce ($45) and inch-thick pork chop with sautéed apple ($23).
No matter what you select, the dishes come to the table dressed to the nines, pretty as the proverbial picture (check out Yelpers' photos for proof) and almost too lovely to devour. Artists in the kitchen use swirls, blotches, dots, streams and puddles of translucent and opaque sauces, scatterings of vegetable confetti, sprinklings of nuts and seeds and clusters of herbs to create Jackson Pollack-like masterpieces using the tabula razas of each white ceramic plate and the main item it contains as backdrops.
For instance, what sounds like a relatively pedestrian jumbo lump crab cake with tarragon aioli appetizer ($14.95) shows up on a curvilinear rectangular plate balanced neatly on a scoop of yellow corn flecked with red pepper, underneath of which runs a snaking ripple of orangey remoulade. Two laterally placed asymmetrical see-through emerald pools are bisected by the remoulade river. The left one is, in turn, punctuated with deep burgundy drops of beet puree. The right one is cut through with a vertical slash of the same substance. Truly, its beauty is mesmerizing.
Similarly, tuna tartar ($12.95) arrives as a small seafood cylinder with a charming headdress of unruly micro-greens, set upon a cucumber slice on the right side of another rectangular plate. To the left is a butterfly pattern created by overlapping potato gaufrettes. The center of the plate is bare except for a miniature "action painting" of soy, with a small dollop of wasabi and even smaller drops of chili.
Entrees and desserts are equally delightful in appearance. Grilled colossal prawns ($25) are piled on sofrito-spiked creamy jasmine rice, drizzled with remoulade, decorated with barely wilted spinach, topped with a frizzle of fried leeks, sprinkled with sunflower seeds and surrounded by a dark circle drawn in balsamic reduction. Flourless Callebaut chocolate cake with a festive whipped cream hat is centered with a scoop of ice cream on a base of chopped peanuts to one side and a strawberry half on a ribbon of kiwi puree to the other. Banana cheese cake, flanked by strawberries, is bedded on a combed river of chocolate.
Of course, if visual appeal were all that Sesame Grill offered its clientele, it would be an art gallery rather than a thriving restaurant. Fortunately, its flavors are as vivid as its colors. On our last visit, a two-sided trout was fish of the day. Laid over a magnificent multicolor succotash of green beans, red and yellow peppers, and zucchini and carrots, it was sautéed with a touch of Old Bay seasoning before being bathed in a pale tan mushroom cream. It was, as is everything at Sesame Grill we've ever tried, absolutely delicious.
All of Sesame Grill's menu items can be ordered a la carte. But the best bargains are definitely their three-course dinners ($28 and $49.95) and, especially, their $19.95 three-course lunch, a somewhat less expansive version of the cheaper evening pre-fixe menu. The missing dishes that might lead you to postpone your three-course repast till dinnertime are starters such as pork rilletes, burrata caprese, beef carpaccio with shaved parmesan, rocket and lemon oil, or crispy fried shrimp with pineapple slaw and sweet garlic dipping sauce. Evening-only entrees include the pork chop and duck breast mentioned above.
The $49.95 dinner meal includes pan-seared diver scallops with fennel orange salad and cream corn, tuna tartar and fried oyster with squid ink crust, and jumbo lump crab cake with crispy shrimp among the first-course possibilities. The prime New York steak, Chilean sea bass with lobster emulsion, Australian lamb chop with braised fennel, and (for a $10 supplement) lobster pasta with fresh manila clams and New Zealand green-lipped mussels are among the entrees. Desserts for both prix-fixe dinners include the luscious chocolate cake, crème brulee, vanilla panna cotta and tiramisu.
The reasons for Sesame Grill's 19-plus years of successful operation are evident from the moment you walk into the restaurant. It's obvious that pains are taken to insure patrons will be pleased from start to finish. Service is attentive, décor is charming and the food is wonderful.
Of course, their location at the far end of a mall with lots of free parking counts too. Best wishes for a wonderful 20th birthday in 2015, continued good fortune and a long and prosperous life.

KaioShin said the right thing. Format of this archive is plain and easy.
It's just an archive with many gzipped files in there.
But if I'm just giving it one file (that contains multiple files), I'll only get one file back?
I don't really get the streams thing
Or you can use the command-line program gzip instead of WinRAR.
Would that actually work properly? If I were to throw one of the giant files into gzip, would I be able to get all of the smaller files out of it easily?

Citigroup Slashes Won't Hurt Overseas Play: Credit Suisse
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The repositioning announced by Citigroup (C) last week will only enhance the company's revenue growth in emerging markets, according to Credit Suisse analyst Moshe Orenbuch.
Investors have long considered Citigroup an international growth play, and the company's stock underperformed the market during the first half of 2012, returning just 4%, while the KBW Bank Index rose 16%, because of reduced growth forecasts for emerging market economies.
Orenbuch said in a report on Wednesday that his firm believes that emerging markets growth "will reverse in 2013 and accelerate into 2014, leading Citi to grow faster than US peers." Credit Suisse "expects growth rates in most emerging market economies under coverage to rise, with growth of 5.2% in 2013 and 5.6% in 2014 versus 4.7% growth in 2012."
Citigroup last Wednesday announced a significant move to cut expenses , by cutting 11,000 positions and closing 84 branches, including 44 in the United States, 15 in South Korea, 14 in Brazil, seven in Hong Kong and four in Hungary. The company said that the moves would reduce expenses by $900 million in 2013, with annual savings increasing to $1.1 billion in 2014.
The company said that the branch closures in emerging markets were "consistent with Citi's strategy of focusing on the 150 cities that have the highest growth potential in consumer banking."
Orenbuch estimated that out of the 11,000 positions being eliminated by Citigroup, "about 53% or 5,825 of the total will be derived from Operations & Technology," and said that the company's estimate that its annual revenue would decline by only $300 million as a result of the cuts was "further evidence that the reductions will largely center on non-client facing positions, limiting the negative impact to Citi's top line."
Along with the announced branch closings, Orenbuch said that "Citi plans to scale back or sell consumer operations in Pakistan, Paraguay, Romania, Turkey and Uruguay," showing the company's "renewed focus on where investment dollars are allocated and a focus on being present in high-growth, high traffic urban markets. This shows that Citi is willing to reduce or eliminated modest positions in countries where it is less likely to earn adequate returns."
Citigroup reported that during the third quarter, main subsidiary Citicorp derived 42% of its revenue from operations in North America, with 21% of total revenue coming from operations in Asia, another 21% from Latin America, and 16% in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA). Citicorp's emerging markets operations provide an even greater percentage of earnings, with Latin America and Asia each contributing 22% to third-quarter net income, while EMEA accounted for 15% and North America 40%.
Orenbuch said that in Latin America, Citigroup's string of credit card and consumer acquisitions in 2007 helped the company "establish a local presence" in select markets, and that "despite more recent investments, "the Latin America Consumer business achieved positive operating leverage in 4Q'11 and continues to do so."

NIGC Rules Against Kialegee's Controversial Red Clay Casino
The National Indian Gaming Commission has ruled the Kialegee Tribal Town does not have the right to proceed with their planned Red Clay Casino on a privately owned Indian allotment in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, reported KJRH.com.
The commission determined the plot of land does not belong to them, U.S. Rep. John Sullivan said in a press release. The parcel is allotted to the Muscogee (Creek) Nation. While the Kialegee is a branch of the tribe, it has been argued that gaming cannot occur on Indian land that does not belong to the exercising tribe.
"I direct the Kialegee Tribal Town not to commence gaming under IGRA on the proposed site, whether the operation is tribally or individually owned," NIGC chairwoman Tracie Stevens wrote in a letter to Kialegee Chief Tiger Hobia. The solicitor general at the Bureau of Indian Affairs agreed with the decision, she said.

South Bass Island is a popular summer tourist destination often referred to as the "Key West of Lake Erie," but it also has no hospitals or any other facilities conducive to giving birth.
Still, lifetime resident Kira Hubner wanted her baby born in the island village of Put-In-Bay.
The family ferried in two midwives by boat, and precautions were taken in the event of an emergency, but Eli Edward Hayes Heineman came into the world healthy and without incident on June 1, according to Cleveland TV station WKYC.
"It was more than perfect," Hubner said of the birth. "There was a beautiful rainbow the second he was born."
The family has deep roots in Ohio. They own the Heineman Winery, which is the state's oldest at 125 years old.

Court Bars American Conservatory of Music From Granting Degrees
SPRINGFIELD The Illinois Board of Higher Education and Illinois Attorney General are notifying students of the American Conservatory of Music (ACM) that the institution is under court order to cease offering degrees and instruction in the state of Illinois.
A Cook County Circuit Judge has ruled that various corporations and individuals operating under the name of the American Conservatory of Music violated state laws in granting degrees without authorization from the Board of Higher Education. Circuit Judge Dorothy Kirie Kinnaird ruled that the defendants failure to receive IBHE authorization for its degree programs violated both the Illinois Academic Degree Act and the Private College Act. She enjoined Theodora Schulze, Richard Schulze, and Otto Schulze, who operated the American Conservatory of Music, from awarding academic degrees unless and until they have IBHE approval.
"This court order shuts down the illegal operators who have been using the American Conservatory of Music name and similar names," Kathleen Kelly, deputy director of the IBHE, said. "Students, prospective students, and other institutions should be forewarned that no one using this name has legal authority to grant degrees in Illinois."
Judge Kinnaird granted the request of the IBHE for a permanent prohibition against Conservatory Partners, LLC, which operated American Conservatory of Music, from "maintaining, operating, or establishing a post-secondary institution until the institution obtains a certificate of approval from the IBHE to establish and operate or become incorporated for the purpose of operating a post-secondary educational institution." She granted the IBHE motion to dissolve the American International Conservatory of Music as a corporation in Illinois.
The court further ordered the institution to supply a list of current students to the IBHE so they can be notified of the court's decision.
The original American Conservatory of Music closed in 1992 after a bankruptcy proceeding, and the defendants had used a series of corporate creations to grant degrees under the conservatory's name, even though they refused to seek IBHE approval to grant degrees.
"We have been puzzled and dismayed at the obstinacy of the defendants in this case," Kelly noted. "The Schultzes have had more than ample time and opportunity to comply with the requirements of the law. Many students believed the Schulzes' representations that they were issuing degrees legally. Unfortunately for students, this just was not true."

Summer businesses see a break in the (wet) weatherAlbert J. Marro / Staff Photo
Micah Mad Dog Gallagher of Jackson, N.H., takes a break from mountain biking at Killington.
The weekend offered some welcome relief for those who make their living from outdoor activities.
The simple reason in a word: rain and lots of it of late.
Businesses most impacted include state parks, private campgrounds and golf courses.
Attendance at the 52 state parks is down 25 percent so far compared with a year ago, said Craig Whipple, director of state parks.
The reason for the 25 percent down is totally weather related and its mostly day (visitors), Whipple said.
He said the overnight camping end of the business hasnt suffered as much because campers make their reservations far in advance and are less likely to cancel their trip.
Whipple added that the falloff in visitors, while significant, comes a year after the state parks set a 20-year record year with 915,000 visitors.
And Whipple said the latest figures do not include the July 4 holiday, when the weather improved considerably. He said that should translate into a rebound in attendance.
Despite all the wet weather, he said there has been minimal damage in the way of erosion.
And Whipple is optimistic that the weather will right itself.
When weve had a very wet beginning to the summer and parks visitations are way down, there seems to be a dynamic of pent-up demand, he said. People are waiting for the sunshine and when it does, they head to places like the state parks.
The weather has also affected business at Kampersville, a private campground on Lake Dunmore.
Weve definitely had cancellations each weekend, said owner Holly Hathaway.
The weather does restrict outdoor activities like swimming and boating, but Hathaway also said campers are a resilient lot so many will come despite the weather.
Over the recent holiday, the 209-site campground was pretty full, she said.
Hathaway said the campground had some flooding issues forcing the temporary closure of a few camp sites.
Business in recent years has also been effected by the economy.
Were just not seeing the people showing up unannounced without reservations, she said. We used to have more of those in the past.
The economy has also affected how people camp. In the past, Hathaway said campers might make several trips of short duration during the season. Now, shes noticed theyre making fewer trips but staying longer.
While Memorial Day is considered the official start of summer, there is plenty of time to make up for any lost business, said Megan Smith, commissioner of the state Department of Tourism and Marketing.
I think tourism in the beginning of the summer is always kind of unpredictable, Smith said. Once we hit that July 4 weekend, this is when our strong season begins.
In particular, she said August is the busiest month of the year for tourism. We all have our fingers and toes crossed, Smith said.
At Green Mountain National Golf Course, the number of rounds is down a fair amount, said general manager David Soucy.
Soucy said out-of-state golfers make up approximately half the business so even the threat of rain is enough to discourage them from coming up.
He said thats balanced somewhat by group business.
We have groups that come and so if its a group of 12 or 24 guys, theyre going to come even if its raining, unless the golf course is unplayable, Soucy said.
He said the rain has effected everything from the number of rounds and lessons to pro shop and food and beverage sales,
Killington Resort has been holding its own throughout the wet spell.
Our golf is slightly down but everything else is right on par, said Killington spokeswoman Sarah Thorson.
She said lodging reservations are up for July.
The weather also hasnt interrupted construction of the $7 million Peak Lodge, which is scheduled to open in December.
Okemo Mountain Resort had much the same story to tell.
Business has not been affected too terribly by the weather, Okemo spokeswoman Bonnie MacPherson said in an email.
She said golf rounds are down a bit at the Okemo Valley Golf Club but better than projected at Tater Hill Golf Club.
She said attendance at the resorts Adventure Zone is up over last year.
For The Start House Ski and Bike shop in Woodstock, as the weather goes so goes sales and rentals.
Today, business is great, when its pouring rain, business is slow, said owner Jennifer McKenna, as the sun finally came out Friday.
But for the last three weeks, the dip in sales and rentals coincided exactly with the stormy weather.
A case in point, McKenna said the shop had to cancel last weeks mountain bike ride just because the trails are waterlogged.

the american stars
I am in total support of living in a self-sufficient urban hub, where one can walk and/or bike to absolutely every place listed on their daily agenda, however, I am a fan of the automobile. We all know that if you do live in CLE, 97% of our population drives from point A to point B. While bicycling has increased in mass numbers, residents in our metro area must drive themselves or at least use some sort of public transportation to reach certain destinations. And I am perfectly happy with this situation because I enjoy the act of driving. Getting behind the wheel of a car can be exhilarating, stress-relieving and just plain fun.
Every year, I attend the Greater Cleveland Auto Show along with other classic/vintage car shows throughout the year with family and friends. And every year I tell myself that I am going to take a long weekend trip to Michigan for Detroit's big show. Well, another year has passed and I missed Detroit again. And after reading reviews of the 2012 show, it is extremely exciting to see what the critic's had to say about American auto manufacturers.
I am a fan of many makes and models, whether it includes a luxurious German beauty or all-terrain American 4×4. If money were no object, I would certainly have a Rolls Royce Ghost in my 10+ car garage. But unfortunately I am not a blood relative of the Lerner or Gilbert family.
The good news is, U.S. automakers are not playing around anymore. GM and Ford are producing stylish, reliable vehicles that are truly ready to take on Germany and Japan. The Motor Trend crew praised Ford, Lincoln, Chevy, Dodge and Cadillac as their top show stars this year, which included two models that I really think are going to be huge players in the mid-size sedan and entry-level luxury segments.
I never thought I would drive a Ford. A year ago, I signed a lease for a 2011 Edge, and I haven't had one complaint. The ride, quiet cabin and sleek exterior design drew me to this crossover, as Ford's sedan line-up didn't exactly intrigue my senses. However, the 2013 Fusion is something that I will be test driving when my lease comes to an end. The Fusion seemed to receive the most buzz this year, with a total makeover that combines Jaguar and Aston Martin cues with an abundance of technology. Other than the 1965 Mustang convertible, this is the sleekest thing I have ever seen from Ford.
Another huge crowd pleaser was the all-new 2013 Cadillac ATS. GM has poured an exuberant amount of money, time and research into this entry-level luxury sport sedan, which is intended to take on the BMW 3 Series head on. The aggressive styling, new CUE system and numerous engine options should hopefully bring in a younger demographic to Caddy showrooms. I think that shoppers who are test driving a C-Class, A4, 3 Series or G37 will soon be putting the ATS on their short list. Let's hope GM keeps the price point and lease offers competitive because I would like one of these right now (in charcoal, please).

It has been a super long week, yall. I have had A LOT of good news, most of which I will share later, but I have also had my share of exhausting busy-ness. But I can't complain. I'm the type that feels "funny" when my life isn't in overdrive.
To continue on with the Mascara Monday rewind, I decided to post some of my boldest FOTDs. Most of these were done when I was living in Los Angeles and playing in make-up really became not only a hobby, but….a friend. I spent hours every night trying to come up with some creative ish. My skills weren't so hot but this was really when I looooved eyeshadow.
My first week in LA….I really had nothing else to do but do craaaazy bold looks.
Ahhh, the Jigsaw piece. I had so much fun doing this.
Sunshine seriously consisted of 3 products. Loved this look!
Who remembers MAC Mi'Lady mineralized duo?
Awww….this is my FIRST all MAC look. I got addicted to MAC during the C-Shock era last summer and was all over that Wondergrass paired with Humid. And you couldn't tell me nothin' about those 3D lip glasses. I can't believe that was only a year ago and I've moved 4 times since then!
That nude lip is sick! I've got to try to do that again. Loved this look….around this time, I started to tone down the BOLD looks and focus on pretty pinks/purples and neutrals.
If you remember these looks, you are serious a vetern Clumps of Mascara viewer! And I loves you for it!!
"I vote because i'm scared that if I don't i'll be paying 20 bucks a gallon for some gas in a matter of months. lol jk…
It's important to vote because not doing so would be single handedly snatching away our voice. No vote…no voice. No voice…no song. I sing my song for the woman with sore feet who went against the rules and sat at the front of the bus. I sing my song for young children that got sprayed with fire hoses. I sing my song for abused & dominated women. I sing my song for shackled slaves. I sing my song for ME, and most importantly…for my future children."
"It is sooo important to vote, especially in this day and age. Many people, especially women, have fought for our right to vote and have a say about the future of our country. As women, we are always affected by who our President because many issues affect us and our children – gun control, abortion rights, education, health insurance – the list goes on and on. If we don't cast our vote and choose – we are being complacent and currently, letting men make decisions for us. Vote, vote, vote!! Especially this time – we need change so we can get out of the recession, improve the economy and spend money on important stuff – like makeup!"
I love how these ladies touched on so many issues in just a few words. True beauty lies not in this make-up bit we talk about but our cognizance of worldwide issues; and how they will affect our future. I love yall!! Shoot me emails so I can send off your lippies. Thank you to all of the submissions.
Support Stila cosmetics and VOTE!!!!!
……and be my friend. 🙂
Stay beautiful!

Comparison time:
Player A: 20 IP / 7 ER / 18 H / 14 K / 6 BB
Player B: 21.1 IP / 6 ER / 20 H / 25 K / 2 BB
Clearly, we're talking about JA Happ (A) and Chan Ho Park (B). And Park clearly has the edge over Happ. He deserves the fifth-starter spot on the opening night 25-man roster.
It's no fault of Happ's — the 26-year-old lefty has done everything to sustain his position as fifth starter. Any other season Happ would've glided into the spot without trouble, but Park has outshone all expectations. A 12.5:1 strikeout-to-walk ratio? Sure it's the Grapefruit League, but you can't deny his consistent dominance.
Quickly back to Happ. The kid deserves to be a major league starter. He cannot do any more in triple-A. He has the stuff to overpower hitters — a moderate fastball, a strong changeup, a fantastic slider, an average curve. With correct placement and pacing he can go deep into games, maybe registering as a solid third starter. His strikeout rates have always been above-average. Basically, he's ready. Now, should he then be given the chance to succeed on a major league roster today … with another team?
No. If there's one necessity early in the season, it's depth — especially pitching depth. The first sign of injury or underperformance would bring Happ back to the rotation. And once he's there, he should stay there.
It's very possible that Happ supplants Park, if he does win the battle. Remember, this is a pitcher who last regularly started in 2006, notching a 4.81 ERA while calling PETCO Park his home base. He only pitched four major league innings in 2007. Frankly, while I think Park should win the fifth-starter battle, he should be watched closely and given a short leash.
But Park's performance this spring has confirmed he's worthy of a starting rotation spot again, even against a young firecracker with four average or above-average pitches. Moreover, there's something to be said about Park's focus: The man desires above everything to win the fifth-starter battle and take the hill every five days. He desires to give his fellow South Koreans a reason to watch Philadelphia Phillies baseball. He recently struggled to respond about if he'd accept a bullpen role: "Uh, I don't know. Let's see. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Sometimes I'm crazy."
If he's that determined to seize the role, don't you think he'll be as determined to keep it?
Park deserves it. The numbers show it. The fire shows it. Give him the chance.

I think the fact the Park decided to forgo the WBC speaks volumes about this guys commitment to succeding with this ball club. That being said, I think he should be on a very short leash. Additionally, I also feel that putting Happ in the bull pen would also be a mistake. Sending him down to AAA would be the best option in my opinion if only to keep him in the starter mentality. The way Happ pitched this spring shows that he can compete and possibly succeed at the major league level, however, it seems as if Park has more to prove. It's a tough choice to make, but its a good problem for the Phillies to have.
i love that the Phillies have a battle for the 5th starter. i'm not use to it.
Yes, usually we have nothing at the #4 spot or #5. Are we talking about the same organization?
great write-up tim. and i completely agree with all you've said.
They both deserve it…why not just go with a 6 man rotation? Seriously, why not? It won't happen but it should. Pitchers are so babied these days they would probably welcome it. Hell, you do that and Moyer could pitch until he's 65. I think Park will win the battle and that is perfectly fine with me. I would hate to see Happ get sent to AAA but I think it has to be done. Asking him to go into the bullpen and be a long inning guy or a stop gap with the possibility of starting if someone gets hurt or pitches poorly is unfair to him. We have this new guy who can be the second lefty and so the need for Happ to be in the pen is not as big as it once was. However, under no circumstances should we trade him. Pitching depth is where it's at. The Phillies won it all last year by being healthy, that won't happen again and so we need the arms to call on, we need the reinforcements. Happ can be that guy. He deserves a chance. Especially with Myers possibly not being here next year, Happ could certianly fill that void.
From Jim Salisbury:
"Pitching plans. Brett Myers pitches tonight against the Blue Jays. The Phillies will bring someone up from minor-league camp to start tomorrow against the Yankees in Tampa. Jamie Moyer and Happ will pitch Thursday. Joe Blanton is scheduled to start Friday's exhibition in Philadelphia, although he could be bumped if he is named opening-night starter. Cole Hamels pitches Saturday in Philadelphia."
my take….I think I'd rather have Blanton pitch the Home Opener than Myers (Myers gets jacked for huge starts like that and can get wild).. OFF ON APRIL 6th. Let Myers go Tuesday, April 7th. Moyer on April 8th. OFF ON APRIL 9th. Hamels on April 10th.
Yeah you gotta give it to him. If he loses it after a couple starts then you make the move and put Happ in there and Park really wont have anything to say. But for now hes clearly won the competition. 2 walks in all of Spring Training shows me hes got the hot hand now and hes mentally prepared and focused. He opted out of the WBC so that he could make the 5th spot in this rotation and stay there, and so far the extra work he put in has really helped.
Im surprised they havent announced Myers yet, Ive kind of just assumed hell be the opening night starter. I think you have to let him do it and show that he has come all the way back.
I don't think Park was the clear cut winner, he does have a ton of more strike outs, but i definetly think he's earned it. Send Happ to AAA,, coming out of the pen won't help him. Even if he's a long reliever, coming out of the pen is a different mind set. I just hope that Happ is mature enough to realize that AAA isn't a punishment.
I agree whole heartedly… I've been saying it for a while. Park has demonstrated that he is determined and, most importantly, healthy. He gets the nod early and we ride his arm as long as we can. I do believe that Happ finishes the year in the rotation; someone is going to get injured or flame out. Bouncing between AAA and the majors means that he runs out of options this year but, in my opinion, it won't matter because he's a shoe-in next year in the upper half of the rotation (with Myers likely on his way out). He's going to be a bright star and for trade purposes, I think that he's a guy you mark as "untouchable."
What do we think if Happ throws 5 innings of no-hit ball with 8 Ks on Thursday?
If we're going just based on Spring Training numbers… both of these guys would be in, Jamie Moyer would probably be the odd man out.
Do we know that Park can throw 6+ innings? When was the last time he did that? There are more questions than just looking at their Spring Training numbers and saying who's stats we like more…
You slammed dunked this one. He deserves the spot, but his leash is short. Very short.
Don, You can't say Moyer is out. He wasn't competing for a spot, he didn't have to put up any numbers close to Park or Happ. And if you don't wanna go by Spring Training numbers what can you look at then?
If we think Myers might be on his way out.. do we think that more if Blanton is named Opening Day Starter? Is that a slap in face for Myers, or is that just rewarding Blanton for getting himself ready to go through Spring Training..
I looked at Park's stats from last year.. only 3 times did he throw 5.0 Innings or more, all within a two weeks span:
June 21st vs. Indians: 5.0 IP, 3 Hits, 1 ER, 1 HR, 2 BB, 9 Ks
June 27th vs. Angles: 6.0 IP, 4 Hits, 0 ER, 0 BB, 7 Ks
July 5th vs. Giants: 6.0 IP, 3 Hits, 1 ER, 3 BB, 7 Ks
not too shabby
Just because you are not fighting for a rotation spot doesn't mean you can put up crappy numbers. Not saying that Moyer should be taken out of the rotation but that a lack of being pushed should not be an excuse for poor performance.
I agree with Don. Plus, I wouldn't say Park "clearly" has an edge over Happ based on the ST stats… they are very similar for what they're worth. What if Happ comes out and pitches really well on Thursday? The Fight for Fifth is not over…
As of now, sure, Park deserves it and should get it. But if he does get it, I agree with Tim in that he should be on a very short leash. The minute he blows up, Happ should be there in the rotation.
Park has been very good.. I said yesterday that AS OF YESTERDAY, he would get the nod..
Im just saying that what if Happ goes out and looks unhittable on Thursday..
He's got the more recent experience as a starter.. with a team that likes to reward people that have helped the team win in the past (Kendrick's LONG leash last season comes to mind)
Let's see what Happ does on Thursday.. he might hand the job to Park himself, or he might step up and force the team to make an even tougher decision..
I don't know how confident I am in Park throwing the amount of innings we need from a Starting Pitcher.. 5 innings isn't enough, and he's only gone as long a 6 Innings TWICE in the past two years (in 2007 he threw a total of 4 innings).. that worries me
July 6th, 2006 Padres @ PHILLIES : 7.0 IP, 9 Hits, 3 ER, 0 HR, 2 BB, 6 Ks.. in a 5-3 Saint Diago victory.
I think you have to allow a guy to have more than one bad outing before you take his spot in the rotation away from him. I would say a string of 3 poor starts in a row would be enough for me to make a change. Every pitcher has a bad game here or there.
Maybe a study on how Happ pitches when Ruiz is the catcher compared to Coste? I think that would be interesting because he has such pitch variety and Ruiz calls better games.
I think if Myers has a good first half theyll resign him…or at least try to. Moyer hasnt shown me anything at all in Spring training to make me think he will be effective in any way. Hes stretched out to regular season stamina now, but he hasnt done much else. For all we know, the only thing hes ready to do is ive up 5-6 runs over 5-6 innings every time out. If he does that in teh month of april then JA Happ or Carlos Carrasco will replace him by the end of May.
I think at this point no more outings from Happ make a difference. Park did his job. Did it extremely well. He was completely dependent upon winning the battle. I think with yesterday, he showed it.
Happ started 4 last year:
July 4th.vs Mets (COSTE catching): 4.2 IP, 3 Hits, 2 R, 2 ER, 4 BB, 3 K, 0 HR (3.86 ERA) Phillies win 3-2.
July 9th.vs Cardinals (RUIZ catching): 6.1 IP, 5 Hits, 2 R, 2 ER, 4 BB, 5K (3.27 ERA) Phillies win 4-2.
Sept. 17th. vs Braves (RUIZ catching): 6.0 IP, 3 Hits, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K … this start was following a few bad relief appearance, mostly for Kendrick. PHILLIES win 6-1.
Sept. 22nd vs. Braves (Ruiz catching): 6.2 IP, 5 Hits, 2 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 5 K, 1 HR… PHILLIES win 6-2.
Thanks for the stats Don. It doesn't really tell me much. He was on a short leash for the July 4th game as it was his first start. But if you look at the numbers for what they are, he is pretty consistent no matter who is catching. But clearly Ruiz is the better manager of the pitchers than Coste. Not much of a debate there.
I just wanted to get back to this to see what people thought…
Is anyone on here confident that Park can give us the innings that we want from a Starting Pitcher.. does his not throwing a lot of innings help him or hurt him?
I hope so…but if he cant do that hes gotta go. 5 innings an outing isnt enough (sorry Moyer) over a full season. its bad enough moyer does it, but you cant have two of your 5 starters doing it. one is plenty. you need 6 innings out of at least 4 of your 5 guys per cycle of the rotation because anything less than that takes a heavy toll on the bullpen. You saw what happened last season, the bullpen began to sputter down the stretch until Scott Eyre was brought in to lighten the load on others, then the pen got hot again.
myers and hamels need 7 innings minimum per start on average, same with blanton. Moyer will go 5-6 and you can only get away with that if park also goes 6. Otherwise, Happ or Carrasco will have to come up and go 6 innings minimum average per start.
Thats why quality starts is a HUGE stat in my opinion because it sort of shows how a starter who does not put up enough QS (6 innings 3 runs I think) is a BURDEN to his bullpen over such a long season. Obviously we expect Hamels and Myers to do a lot more than just a QS, and we expect more from Blanton too. But Moyer has to turn in a QS everytime out (or almost all the time), and so does Park otherwise BOTH OF THEM will be replaced by Happ/Carrasco by July 1.
Jamie Moyer went 6.0 Innings or more 21 times last year (Finished the season with a 3.71 ERA).. he can still pitch
Also, Carlos Carrasco is not close to starting in the majors…
if he comes up and pitches this year, its because someone got hurt, or we are in real trouble and losing too many games
Gary Sheffield is coming to Philadelphia!!!!!
(hopefully.. ) He was just released by the Detroit Tigers.. he's one HR away from 500, he would become the 25th player to reach that milestone.
I have to believe he's better than Matt Stairs for the purposes of a bench bat that can swing for the fences
I absolutely agree with Mister Malcolm. In fact, I predicted way back in Feb that park would be our 5th. Look on that ning thingy.
Moyer did do that..last year, and the year before he was atrocious. So which Jamie Moyer will we see? We will find out soon enough.
Id bring in Sheffield for a mil and jettison stairs…i mean, why not?
i would NEVER want that arrogant cancer Sheffield anywhere near my team.
jamie moyer was definitely not "atrocious" in 2007. he won 14 games! he clinched the division and had the best start of anyone against the rockies. his ERA and WHIP were higher than last season, but he still had a good year overall.
For Geoff, a reminder…
Last season, Moyer led the team in starts (33), innings (199.1) and quality starts (18) and wins (16) . The ageless and crafty veteran can still pitch…slow, slower and slowest with great command. 🙂
in 07 he had a bad whip and an era of nearly 5…that is BELOW AVERAGE…..Of those 14 wins moyer also had 12 losses…i consider that a below average season for someone like him…
in 08 he was outstanding – truly – i didnt forget – but look at his last few years…i mean other than 08 theres nothing to really celebrate. the point is who shows up? they also gave him an above market contract for someone his age…way way way above both in years and in money.
Bruce, Hamels led in ip(227). Hamels tied him in starts 33. I don't know how many quality starts Hamels had, but I'd venture to say it was as many or more than Moyer. Wins is a useless stat. Hamels got no run support in so many games he lost last year.
Since he was paid way way way below value for what he produced last year.. Lets call it even.. he helped us win the World Series, while getting paid peanuts.
I forget the exact numbers, but I think that Moyer allowed 3 ERs or less in something like 25 of his starts last year.. and I posted earlier that he threw 6.0 IP or more 21 times last year.
Do I expect the same? No, not at all… but did I expect him to have one of the best season in his long career at age 45 or 46 or whatever. No.
So he probably won't be as good this year as he was last year, but he was arguably the 2nd best SP on the WS champs.. so he's still good in my book
Well the point is hes a bigger question mark than the average starter…thats all…
ALSO: DOES ANYONE KNOW IF THEYRE BRINGING BACK THE GRAND SLAM 4 GAME PACKAGES THIS YEAR? I got a few 6 packs already and Im waiting for 4 packs to go on sale…usually its around this time when they start with the 4 packs…
ERA and WHIP are a bit misleading for contact hitters like moyer too though, as he often gets better run support BECAUSE he keeps his defense more active, which has their adrenaline pumping when they're at the plate. you can't just discount wins, after all they're the most important thing when all is said and done.
I do discount wins. A pitcher is not paid to win a ball game. A pitcher is paid to prevent runs so his offense can score runs. It takes a team effort to win a ball game, not a pitcher.
ERA & WHIP arent misleading for starters that play an entire season, wins & losses can be misleading – absolutely – but ERA & WHIP (& Quality Starts above all) are the best measures of a starting pitcher. For a relief pitcher you want to look at K/BB & WHIP or ERA too.
I personally like ERA+ to rate a pitcher more than anything. It shows how well a pitcher's ERA is compared to the rest of the league and also factors in the ballpark they pitch in. Cole Hamels ERA last season was a 3.09. If you threw him in PETCO park that probably would have been a 2.70. ERA+ helps to show what a ballpark can do for a pitcher.
any pitcher will back up what i just said about contact pitching. do you think it's some crazy coincidence that moyer would get run support last year and hamels wouldn't? and that kendrick won as many games as he has in his MLB career?
i agree that wins can be more misleading than ERA and WHIP, but i also maintain that discounting them as a stat is stupid.
also i doubt that moyer's 07 ERA and WHIP were in fact "below average" in terms of the MLB averages for the season. i'd like to see the stats on that.
Im a big supporter of QS for the majority of the starting pitchers in MLB. A guy with a lot of Quality Starts really gives his team a good chance to win and keeps them in the game. So many analysts always say "he gives you a good chance to win when talking about good starting pitchers" – well tahts what theyre talking about. Can you go deep into games without giving up too many runs along the way – THUS giving your offense a chance to be ahead with what work the pitcher did put it AND not having to put too much stress on your bullpen by only relying on them for two ro three innings. Thats so key to me, tahts what I try and look at. QS is the best measure of that, as is ERA & WHIP. (ERA+ is cool too)
he had an era close to 5 in 07….tahts below average….cant recall whip
MLB Players say that ERA is the most accurate reflection of how good a pitcher is..
The runs that score are your fault..
A guy could give up 10 runs, but if his team scores 11, he gets the win.. so that is a bad stat. But if the guy give up 10 runs, his ERA will be sky high.. a more accurate reflection of how well/poorly he pitched
League average ERA in 07 was 4.61. Moyer had a 5.01. Take ball park into account and his ERA+ is 92. League average ERA+ is 100. Moyer was worse than league average in 07. That is like a #4 or #5 starter. I'd give him the nod as a #4 starter since he did eat some innings. If Moyer can stay around his career stats this season(4.19 ERA, 106 ERA+) then he should be a good #3 or great #4 pitcher for us. If he can put up last years #s then he will be a great #3 pitcher for us.
Well said Don M. I like to use this one too. If a pitcher pitches 30 games and 270 innings but lets up 1 run a game and has a 0-30 record with a 1.00 ERA does that make him a bad pitcher?
ERA i'm not surprised on, but WHIP i think he was 1.44 or so in 07, which there would have had to have been some terrific pitching that year for the average to be lower than that.
I'm probably one of the most well-said dawgs on this jawn. holla.
1.5 Walks Plus Hits per Innings Pitched (WHIP) is not really good at all.. that means 9 baserunners in 6 innings..
Maybe that is the "average" but that sounds like trouble to me
I don't know what the league average whip was in 07, but I can bet that it was lower than 1.44 or around 1.44. Moyer has always had a high whip. Many contact pitchers do not named Brandon Webb and Roy Halladay.

- Title
- The 'Three-Step Test' and the wider public interest: towards a more inclusive interpretation
- Author(s)
- Wright, Robin
- Abstract
- Intellectual property law aims to protect the public interest in two often-contradictory ways: by granting exclusive rights to encourage creativity and by limiting those rights in certain situations for socially beneficial purposes. The Three-Step Test in international intellectual property treaties aims to ensure that limitations and exceptions to intellectual property rights do not inappropriately encroach upon the interests of rights holders. This article examines the interpretation of the Three-Step Test as included in the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights for copyright and patents by two World Trade Organization dispute-resolution panels and by other commentators. It looks at how these interpretations have dealt with the public policy motivations underlying limitations and exceptions to exclusive rights, and considers the ways in which the public policy intentions that underlie decisions by national legislators to adopt the limitations and exceptions to intellectual property rights can be considered in each step of the test. The conclusion reached is that the Three-Step Test contains the potential to allow both aspects of the public interest to be considered as part of an inclusive interpretation.

Fact Checking False Claim Obama Budget Plan 'Reduces Deficit by $5.3 Trillion in a Decade'
New York Times reporter Jackie Calmes recently made the outlandish claim that the President's budget will reduce the deficit by $5.3 trillion over a ten-year period. But a closer look at this claim proves that it just isn't true.
Firstly, Obama and his surrogates don't even claim a savings of $5.3 trillion, so it is a mystery where Calmes got this number. At the late Democrat convention, for instance, Bill Clinton claimed that Obama's plan would save $4 trillion, not $5.3. But even Clinton's mythical savings was deemed untrue by the Washington Post's fact checker.
Worse, all those supposed savings in the Obama proposal is from tax hikes, not any actual cuts in spending. On top of that, most of the supposed savings are mere accounting gimmicks, not true savings.
The other false characterization of Obama's spending proposal is that he means to "pay down out debt." To pay down something, of course, that means to pay off or reduce that something. Obama's plan also does not do this.
The truth is, Obama's latest budget proposal, which calls for $1.8 trillion in new taxes, calls for $1.5 trillion in new spending! That means that Obama's massive tax hike proposal doesn't go to pay down the deficit but to fund new government spending.
Far from spending the deficit down, the president's last budget plan from July makes it clear that in ten years our national debt will increase by $10.6 trillion.
But despite all the evidence proving the lie to Obama's budget — a budget that garnered not one vote from either party in the House or Senate — his campaign has repeatedly made the false claim that he'd save $4 trillion over ten years and now The New York Times has inexplicably upped that fantasy savings to $5.3 trillion.
Senator Jeff Sessions (R, AL) has already called on the Obama campaign to pull these misleading ads. The Romney campaign should too.

Sirius Business: 49ers, Ravens Tidbits
Hey everyone. Matt Camp and I had a pair of interesting guests stop by on Sirius XM Fantasy Football (Sirius 211, XM 147) this weekend, and we were able to talk 49ers and Ravens. Here are some of the more interesting tidbits:
Matt Barrows covers the 49ers for the Sacramento Bee (@mattbarrows on Twitter):
The 49ers are indeed trusting their 2010 season to Alex Smith at the QB position, and they really aren't worried about it. They understand Smith's limitations, but so does Smith, and having a second year in Jimmy Raye's offense might work wonders for Smith, who has never had the same offensive coordinator in consecutive seasons in his entire NFL career. Barrows argues that the 49ers' "weaponry" is the best its been since Jerry Rice and Terrell Owens were the starting receivers, even though the Niners plan to run a conservative approach offensively. Coach Mike Singletary wants to play like he did during his playing days in Chicago: defense and running the football. The 49ers have the personnel to do that.
That conservative approach will focus on Frank Gore, who is undoubtedly the main ball carrier, [...]

Three Up, Three Down
First he tried to score from third when no one was lookin'… then he slid head first and broke his arm… then he was… out. THEN he blamed third base coach Dave Anderson for the boneheadedly aggressive move (not my fault, duh)… and THEN he later apologized to Dave Anderson for blaming him for the boneheadedly aggressive move.
Considering the overwhelming, undeniable, empirical evidence in this case… I am glad to report that Jesus of Nazareth was soley responsible for Joshy's change of heart, just as he was responsible for Joshy gettin' some buttery nipple action at da club a while back.
The 2011 season is well under way and… SURPRISE!!!… that's Lance Berkman posing at the Cardinals best player!
Hey folks, he may be weird lookin' in a Redbird uni, but he's the only one in the lineup who's been solid from the get-go. Go ahead, Albert… just go ahead and think about finding a deal somewhere else… we got number 12!
Ozzie Guillen sure is giving Timothy Geithner a run for his money (wink, wink) in the sour face department. Heck, I'd be angry too if my son's name was Oney (good grief is that really his name???)… I'd also be angry if my team scored runs like crazy, only to see them erased in the latter innings of an otherwise locked-down ballgame when the bullpen wheels start fallin' off (see Chris Sale, Matt Thornton, etc.).
Can't believe I'm sayin' this, but, I sorta miss big boy Bobby Jenks. At least with Jenks you'd at least see some emotion when he blew the game.
Hangin' the head and walkin' off is a bit too pedestrian for my liking.

Thanks, Jeff, that first pic is going to give me nightmares. I think its most disturbing aspect is that I feel like I have a direct view into his sinuses through that strange snout-like nose. Eeww.
Sue — That's actually Allen. In case you were wondering😉
I'm with Sue on the nostrils/sinuses. LOL. Very happy for Lance Berkman that he's having a good year so far. Seemed like a nice guy during his short stint as a Yankee.

I'm not sure what's scarier, that photo or the thought of where you had to go in the internet to find it…
Yeah, Josh was a big whiney brat about this whole thing, apology or not. I mean, if he had all the time he said he had to sit there and think "this is a bad idea" maybe he could have used that time to slide properly instead. I'm just sayin'.

On Campus
Research Commons opens this semester in the library
AU Library is thrilled to join with partners from across campus to create AU's new Research Commons, a comprehensive research resource. The Research Commons is designed to help students and faculty take their research and scholarship to the next level, by offering a variety of services in one convenient central location—the library! The Research Commons is part of a larger plan to update and renovate the library, making it a research destination, a network that connects scholars, and an inspiring place to work and spend time.
The library will continue to offer research assistance through the Reference Desk, as well as computer troubleshooting through the Technology Support Desk. The Research Commons will add walk-in writing services from the Academic Support and Access Center, help with statistical methodology from the Statistical Consulting Center, and help with SPSS, SAS and other statistical software from the Statistical Software Support service. Hours for the services will vary, and some services are by appointment. All service hours and contact information can be found on the library's Operating Hours page.
Look for these new services near the Reference Desk, in the collaborative work rooms. In the spring, some new rooms will be constructed, and the Department of Literature's Writing Center will move into the library, and offer their services here. Stay tuned for more about that move in December.
Do you have comments or questions about the Research Commons? Contact the library via email at firstname.lastname@example.com or tweet us at @AULibrary using #AULibraryRC.

Makes Perfect Sense1 of 11
By Alison Singh Gee
Is your relationship losing its sizzle, its silkiness, its song? It could be because you and your partner haven't been fully stimulating each other's senses. Fortunately, getting back in touch, so to speak, is easier than you may think. Check out these sense-inspired tips for reigniting your romance.
Get Back On Track2 of 11
Create a soundtrack inspired by your early days of dating and play it for your partner over a glass of Champagne. Music reaches deep into the mind and soul to recall the thrilling, romantic times during which you first heard those songs. "Think of it as a soundtrack of play, passion and love," says Dr. Eva Selhub, author of The Love Response. If the music moves you, then take your sensual dalliance one step further. "Dancing will enhance your pleasure and deepen your connection," she says.
Hug It Out3 of 11
Sometimes, just hugging your partner and inhaling deeply is all it takes to awaken your passion. Selhub notes that during mating rituals, we attract the opposite sex with pheromones, which then blend with our natural aroma. Take a moment every day to hold your partner close and breathe him in to heighten your bond to each other's scent. "Every time you are near his particular scent, you'll reawaken your feelings of love again," she says.
Prepare A Memorable Meal4 of 11
Maybe you went to Thailand for your honeymoon, or to an evocative Italian restaurant for your first date. Re-create the evening for your partner with exotic foods, native flowers and a great bottle of that region's wine. An experience like this will "remind you both of a time when intimacy was a big part of the equation," says Selhub. "Eating together also creates bonding, which in turn creates oxytocin and that means more love."
Bare Your Soles5 of 11
Try giving your partner a weekly foot massage. (Of course, you should also feel free to ask for one in return!) Not only will this release his tension and, according to traditional Chinese medicine, stimulate his vital organs, but it will also reconnect the two of you in a basic way "through touch and a show of love," says Stacey L. Moss, founder of Moss Botanicals.
Get Poetic6 of 11
While it might sound cheesy, reciting a love poem to your partner will create a memorable bond to your voice and will also show him how important your partnership is to you. "He will hear your willingness to be in your relationship," says Moss.
Enhance Your Boudoir7 of 11
Create a scent haven by choosing a relaxing aroma that appeals to you and your partner and then subtly layering your bedroom with it: Spray fresh bedsheets with lavender mist, light lavender scented candles, and then lavish yourself with lavender-infused lotion. You can also try applying a scent roll-on—try Moss's essential oil blend—to the natural creases of the body. "The inside the elbow, behind the knee, or the bottom of the derriere are great spots," says sex and health educator Sonjia Kenya, M.D.
Soak It Up8 of 11
Have your partner text you 10 minutes before he gets home, but don't tell him why. Then prepare him a "ritual bath" with salt and essential oil, complete with dimmed lighting, a glass of sparkling water, and a beautiful robe and towel waiting for after the bath. "I did that for my boyfriend, and he talked about the experience for two days," says Moss. "Such acts of love nurture your partner, and the scents you use will establish a new, positive association."
Use Your Heads9 of 11
Help one another de-stress with this head massage: Start by soaking a plush towel in hot water laced with an essential oil that appeals to you both. Wring out the towel and drape it across your partner's shoulders and back. Then pour warmed mustard oil (a few tablespoons will do nicely) onto his head and gently massage in. This is a classic Indian treatment that conditions the hair and scalp, and touching your husband or boyfriend in such a nurturing way "soothes tensions and opens up a space for familiarity, closeness, understanding, confidence and trust," says Moss.
Play With Your Food10 of 11
If you want to stimulate your partner's taste and smell, then try filling a warm room with lavender candles. Then place a small dish of pumpkin pie filling under your partner's nose and spoon feed him some. Yes, this sensual combination might sound crazy, but it works: Chicago's Smell & Taste Treatment and Research Foundation found that the pairing of lavender and pumpkin pie turns men on, says Kenya.

Do A Little Dress-Up11 of 11
Go all out and impersonate his celebrity crush, complete with a wig and the right makeup. "Men are visual creatures and aroused when they see something visually appealing," says Kenya. "Dressing up as your lover's fantasy woman gives him the chance to 'experience' a dream come true, and it will make him feel sexier and less inhibited because he's playing a role."

Consultant to oversee Medicaid reporting tool

The state Department of Health Care Policy and Financing hired Boston-based Public Consulting Group Inc., a company with offices in Denver, to create the online tool, said Marc Williams, a spokesman for the department. Public Consulting Group will be paid 50 percent from federal funds and 50 percent from state funds, Williams said.
State legislators approved the hospital provider fee in 2009 as part of the broader plan to have more poor people covered by Medicaid, as well as to be eligible for more Medicaid reimbursement from the federal government. Local hospitals, as well as the Colorado Hospital Association industry trade group, support the hospital provider fee program.
But the state auditor's office, in an audit issued in October, said the program uses self-reported hospital information, which is not always accurate, consistent or reliable. The new online tool can address those issues, Williams said. It was planned before the audit came out, he said.
In the first year, the consultant is to be paid $399,480 as a contract amount — mainly to create the new online tool, Williams said. In subsequent years, the consultant can receive up to $128,200 per year to manage the tool, he said.
Workers at the Department of Health Care Policy also have collaborated with hospitals and the Colorado Hospital Association since the program started to try to improve reporting.
