"I was hard to swallow for the whole campus, because it was so unexpected," said Windward Community College Vice-Chancellor Kevin Ishida.
He said, at the time, knew he had an energy emergency on his hands when rates skyrocketed 40 percent.
"We increased our energy costs by almost $500,000," he said.
The college decided to deconstruct their costs, to find out what was costing so much anyway.
"This is probably 20 something years old," said Ibis Networks President Mike Pfeffer, looking at a fridge hidden in a back office room.
His company installed five of its smart sockets to analyze costs and remotely turn machines off when it wasn't needed.
What they found out was dramatic.
"They're not designed to be particularly good refrigerators. They're designed to sell cold soda," he said pointing to one of the college's vending machines.
"That thing's probably using $800-900 a year. If you have a bunch of vending machines, that's a lot," he told Ishida.
"This air conditioning unit clearly a big problem," Pfeffer continued.
"$2,112 A month, with an annual savings of $25,344 a year. Wow. That's tremendous," said Ishida.
"This was built as a LED building," he told KITV reporter Lara Yamada during a walk across campus to WCC's new library.
It's part of a system-wide initiative.
The new library was built to use less energy. It even has waterless urinals.
And the campus recently replaced all of its lights.
If you put everything together including energy saving lights, a different kind of air conditioner, and special sockets that control things, campus-wide, the college estimates it can save some $260,000 a year.
"It affects the students and the classrooms," said Ishida.
He said other community colleges are installing photovoltaics to reduce rates overall, in an effort to put the money back where it belongs.
"We're trying to be more aware," he said.
Ishida said Windward just doesn't get enough sunlight to benefit from photovoltaics, but Leeward, Kapiolani and Honolulu do.
The community college system should be able to sell back that energy and get reduced rates overall.
He's also considering installing more of those "Inteli-Sockets" on everything from water coolers, to projectors, to computers.


text: So excited that my son who will be 15 months on the 13th of Dec has been sleeping 6-7 hour stretch at night! WOOOHOOO!!!! Just the other week he was nrsing like a newborn due to a molar and more teeth coming in. I unfortunately am not STTN as I still find myself waking every 2-3 hours After a couple wakings I go in and check on him. He starts the night in the crib. It used to be that he would be in bed with me shortly after I went to bed (usually about 2-3 hours after he went to bed). Since he sleeps so long he spends the majority of the night in his crib. Sometimes he is a little restless for the remaining few hours of sleep but I am so proud of him to reach this milestone. I wish I could say I enjoy the long stretch but I am still waking up alot because my body has become so accustomed to it. I do feel more rested though because I just drift back to sleep right away. So to all you moms out there that think that their baby will never give them a long stretch, it will happen when they are ready. I do not believe in CIO and did not initiate night weaning(I was about to in another month due to his frequent wakings). This might not last very long but for now I am enjoying it and hope that before he starts waking more again I can actually stay asleep for longer than a few hours.

Vicki used to sew when she was young and free, but then raising young'uns and bringing home (some of) the bacon took up all her time. Now her closet is full of skinny clothes, maternity clothes and post-partum clothes, none of which fit properly. Maybe that's why she started sewing again in 2010.

U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham asked a lot of questions to supporters and spoke his mind during an appearance at the Lancaster County Republican Party meeting at Mike Williams Builders on Thursday, Feb. 20.
Graham, who expects a challenge from conservative activists, including the Tea Party movement, in the 2014 Senate primaries, worked to unite a divided party he considers the "heart and soul of America."
COLUMBIA – The S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control has been notified of the state's first flu-associated death of the season.
"Tragically, a woman from Dorchester County has become our first lab-confirmed, influenza-associated death of the season," Dr. Linda Bell, state epidemiologist, said Nov. 7.
"We are in the early stages of our state's flu season. It's important to get vaccinated now. The vaccine takes about two weeks to build up your body's protection against the virus. Vaccination is by far the best way to prevent the spread of the flu."
HEATH SPRINGS – Technologically speaking, the town of Heath Springs is moving on up.
At the Oct. 15 town council meeting, the council reviewed quotes to replace the town's current computer system, which Town Administrator Tony Starnes said has become a vital necessity.
"Our financial software no longer has technical support," he said.

Technologically speaking, the town of Heath Springs is moving on up.
At the Oct. 15 town council meeting, the council reviewed quotes to replace the town's current computer system, which Town Administrator Tony Starnes said has become a vital necessity.
"Our financial software no longer has technical support," he said.
"Emails take so long to open that sometimes you aren't sure they're going to open at all.
It appears the city of Lancaster wants to come onboard with the effort to restrict smoking in the county.
At its Tuesday, July 23, meeting, Lancaster City Council voted unanimously to approve first reading of a city ordinance to ban smoking in restaurants, bars and other public-access places.
The ordinance draft is similar to the ones already adopted by Lancaster County Council, Kershaw Town Council and Heath Springs Town Council.
KERSHAW – Kershaw Town Council will have a different look this year.
Two of its members have chosen not to seek re-election. They are District 3 Councilman Randy Seegars and District 4 Councilman Morris Russell.
Seegars, who's in his first term, said his health is the sole reason he's not seeking re-election. He's dealing with knee issues and a hernia, and has two upcoming surgeries, he said.
Within the last year, he believes he's missed five or six Town Council meetings for health reasons.
Here's a look at the unofficial Lancaster County vote totals for candidates on Tuesday's ballot. Local totals include all precincts. Local votes in the races for the S.C. House and S.C. Senate are for Lancaster County only. State votes include all counties (42 of 46) reported by 3 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 7.

Katrina Shealy, Senate candidate for District 23 in Lexington County, is running a heated race against Sen. Jake Knotts on the platform of reform that supports the viability of small businesses.
Shealy shared her platform at a recent Lancaster County Republican Women lunch and encouraged them to join the effort.
S.C. Treasurer Curtis Loftis will speak at Sun City Carolina Lakes at 9 a.m. Monday, Sept. 17, as part of his Safe, Smart & Secure financial forums around the state this week.
Loftis' ongoing financial-literacy tour focuses on fraudprevention techniques.
Loftis said in a press release the forums are designed to inform the public about ways to protect themselves against financial fraud and identity theft.
Is a potential county smoking ordinance an infringement on personal rights? For at least a few county residents, that answer was yes at Lancaster County Council's Monday, Sept. 10, meeting.
About an hour before council voted to approve second reading of an ordinance to prohibit smoking in enclosed public places, several people voiced concerns the ordinance amounts to government intrusion.

Expansion proposal is news to supermarket's ownersBy Patrick McArdle
STAFF WRITER | February 14,2013MANCHESTER — A local engineering firm has submitted a proposal for redeveloping a shopping plaza on Depot Street and expanding Price Chopper, but officials at Price Chopper said Thursday they know nothing about the proposal and didn't request it.
The Development Review Board is scheduled to hear a proposal Wednesday for redevelopment of the Manchester Shopping Center Plaza.
In a letter that accompanied a preliminary site plan, Ellis Speath, of Speath Engineering in Manchester, said the proposal would involve demolition of 21,200 square feet of building space in the plaza. The plaza is now roughly L-shaped but the proposal would add about 20,700 square feet straight out to the northwest.
The proposed development would add about 14,300 square feet of space to the existing Price Chopper supermarket and leave about 6,400 square feet for other uses.
The letter said the proposal would add 50 parking spaces, giving the plaza more than 190 spaces, and improve the circulation and the ease with which trucks can be unloaded.
Speath said that if the plan was approved as proposed, it would double the size of the supermarket.
However, Mona Golub, a spokeswoman for Price Chopper, said the plan was not made on behalf of Price Chopper and the company's officials have not seen them.
"Price Chopper has no plans to expand the Manchester store," she said.
Golub said she believed the plan may have been created at the request of a prospective buyer for the shopping plaza. Staff at Speath Engineering said on Thursday they couldn't comment on whose behalf they submitted the proposal.
Town records list the owner of the plaza as Manchester Holdco S.C. LLC. No contact information could be found for the owner on Thursday afternoon.
As submitted, the redevelopment of the plaza would not affect stores to the east of Price Chopper but would remove the businesses to the west. One of those is Manchester's only movie theater, the Village Picture Shows.
The theater's owners, Shelly and Jeff Gibson, have started a campaign through online crowd-funding site Kickstarter to raise $175,000 and update the movie theater to install digital equipment.

GDR Student Guide – Academic and Other Information
Download in PDF format (Updated September 3, 2010)
Note: The PDF format is updated once each academic year, while the web format is updated regularly throughout each term. Where discrepancies occur, the web format supersedes the PDF format. Note also that the Regulations of the Graduate Division of Religion govern policies and procedures for the Division; where any discrepancy is found between this Guide and the Regulations, the Regulations supersede.
Welcome to Drew's Graduate Division of Religion! The purpose of this handbook is to provide you with all the essential information that you need in order to move knowledgeably and efficiently through your academic program. Most of what you will lead in this handbook has its ultimate origins in The Regulations of the Graduate Division of Religion (a copy of which is available on the GDR website under "Current Students"). The regulations book is primarily pitched to faculty and administration. The idea behind this handbook was to produce a version of the regulations that would be oriented fully to students, and supplemented with other crucial information that you need to know but that doesn't appear explicitly—or at all—in the regulations. This includes "nuts and bolts" instructions on how to get various important things done and assorted "insider advice" that we hope you will find helpful. Aside from lived student experience, sources for certain of the information provided also includes Daniel's Dictionary. The role of Religion and Society's student handbook (previously the only such handbook in the GDR) should also be acknowledged. It stimulated the idea for the present handbook and provided a partial model for it.
The writing of the handbook was conceived at the outset as a student-faculty collaboration. Kristeen Black, a PhD student in Religion and Society, and I worked jointly to produce it. I am deeply grateful to Kris for taking on what must have seemed at times like an overwhelming task. We are both grateful to Rose Ellen Dunn, GDR Director of Admissions and Placement—and also herself a PhD student in the GDR—for her help in conceiving and outlining the scope of the project.

I'm wondering exactly how the nipple is supposed to fit inside the shield. Is the whole nipple (areola included) supposed to kind of smush up/shrink & fit inside the tube? That is what mine does & then when I pump, it pulls the skin w/ my nipple inside of it forward. That probably doesn't make sense. But, I don't get that much milk that way. If I reposition the pump to where my just my nipple goes into the tube & none of the aerola is pulled forward I can get a lot more milk. However, I have to continually reposition my nipple to fit correctly to get milk. I'm just SOOOOO confused My breasts are pretty large, but I don't think my nipples are just real big. I wonder if I should try a larger horn or if that would only make it worse.
I hope that makes sense, but does anyone have any advice or tips? Actually if someone could explain exactly how the nipple & areola are supposed to fit inside the tube & horn, that would help a lot!!

Orange to debate a school budget again
ORANGE What may be the longest intermission in the 232-year history of town meeting in this rural Vermont community will end Tuesday night when voters are scheduled to gather at Town Hall to take care of a little unfinished business.
Nearly two months most of March and virtually all of April have blown by since Town Moderator Adrian Otterman suggested voters pass over the single most expensive item they discussed during their evening town meeting on the first Tuesday in March.
Its not that voters didnt try to pass a school budget. They did over, and over, and over again. However, after three excruciatingly close votes the last one a 37-38 rejection of an amendment to return to the $2,728,875 budget proposal that theyd defeated 35-39 earlier in the evening Otterman suggested voters move on, regroup and come back and deal with the school budget at a later date.
Theyll get their chance Tuesday night during a single-issue special meeting that is scheduled to start at 6:30 p.m. at Town Hall and end as soon as voters can agree on how much to spend to operate their towns K-8 elementary school and to tuition older students to the high schools of their choice.
Barring any adjustments proposed by the School Board, the discussion will likely start where it began and ended March 6 with the twice-defeated $2,728,875 budget request that calls for spending $8,875, or .33 percent, more than this years budget of $2,720,000.
The latter figure was the subject of the only other Town Meeting Day vote on the school budget. A proposal to level-fund the school budget by cutting nearly $9,000 was narrowly defeated 37-39 last month.
The budget initially proposed by the School Board included $15,000 to cover the cost of an existing behavioral support position and reflected a net loss of $17,000 in federal grant funds that are used to finance school-based math and reading specialists. The proposed budget did anticipate a significant savings of $59,695 in high school tuition expenses.
Though special education expenses are actually down slightly, that expense in excess of $500,000 is a source of concern for some residents.
Voters, who were nearly evenly divided when it came to school spending on Town Meeting Day, easily rejected a proposal that they adopt future school budgets using the day-long voting system commonly referred to as the Australian ballot. The proposed change was defeated, 17-52.

I can't believe it's been a week since DD asked for milk! She last nursed on our trip to the apple orchard last Friday. It was one of the rare occasions in the past year+ that I've nursed her in public, but she was out of sorts and really said she really needed milk, so I sat behind a hay bale . She's mentioned milk in the past week (for other babies), and each time I thought it would lead to her asking for milk, but nope.
Yesterday she told me she couldn't wait to have a baby of her own. When I asked her what she would do with it, she said, "I'll carry it around all the time. Except when it's hungry, then you can give it mama milk." Funny! She's such a literal child that she never nurses her babies and animals because she knows she doesn't make milk yet. She even tells me that she's not the mama to her babies, I am, because I make the milk .
Today we were getting ready to get in the tub and she came up and kissed my boob. I thought for sure she was going to try to latch on, but she just looked up at me and smiled and then gave it big hug .
I'm not sure if this is it or not, but this is by FAR the longest she's ever gone without nursing. I've not mustered up the strength to actually ask her if she's done . Just last month she said she'd nurse until she was 5 or 14 . I can't believe it's been 3 years and 9 months .

Construction is well underway on the DCP Midstream natural gas processing plant. Piping, vessels and coolers are being installed on a daily basis.
You may recall from my last article about the upcoming implementation of the Goliad County Scofflaw by the Goliad County Tax Office. The Scofflaw permits denial to register a motor vehicle if the owner owes the county money for a fine, fee, or tax that is past due.
Presently, the law only allows us to use this to collect from local residents. I have been in contact with the offices of Representative Geannie Morrison and Senator Glenn Hegar for possible help in revising the law to allow counties to contract with the Department of Motor Vehicles to flag vehicle owners across the entire state who owe overdue fines and fees.
Several months ago, the local Health and Human Services Commission office was closed. On Monday, the Goliad County Commissioners' Court approved the sharing or office space in the Franklin Street annex between the Department of Assistive and Rehabilitative Services and the Gulf Bend Center. This will provide space for DARS counselors to meet with local clients.
The county continues to work with the school to develop an inter-local agreement, which will provide a school resource officer (SRO) and vehicle to enhance school security.
Responding to unnecessary emergency calls costs the county, while making equipment and personnel unavailable for other situations.
To avoid these unwarranted calls, if you plan to burn brush or anything larger than household trash in a barrel, please make a courtesy call to the Goliad County Sheriff's Office before you begin.

By attorney Kristen Brauchle, Special to THELAW.TV
When you're unable to work and waiting for a Social Security Disability Insurance claim to be approved, it can seem that there is no relief in sight. While the process can be long and complicated, there are resources to help you along the way.
The typical timeline for an initial SSDI claim to be processed is three to four months. If the claim is denied, you'll be faced with an even longer appeals process. Although this time can be tough financially and emotionally, the first step to surviving the Social Security Disability claims process is knowing what to expect. The second step is learning what resources can help you get through it.
Appealing a SSDI denial
Approximately 70 percent of SSDI claims are denied during the initial application process. If you've been denied for disability benefits, a Social Security disability attorney can advise you and give you the best chance at being approved on appeals.
When you receive your denial letter, you have 60 days to file an appeal. The first level of appeal is requesting the Social Security Administration reconsider your case. The claim will be reviewed by someone who was not involved in your initial claim. In the event that this review again results in a denial, you can next request a hearing by an administrative law judge.
If the desired result is still not achieved, you can request that the SSA's Appeals Council review your case. However, this request can be denied if the council finds your denials to be accurate. The final appeal avenue, if all others are denied, is filing a lawsuit in federal court to have your claim re-examined.
The appeals process can be long and stressful, lasting months or even years. It's disheartening for those who need benefits to make ends meet, but there are resources to help you while you're waiting.
Surviving the appeals process
Among the chief concerns for a person who is disabled is the need for medication to treat their medical conditions. If you do not currently have health insurance to cover the cost of treatment and medication, there are resources you can look into. It is vital that you continue to see your doctor, as your SSDI claim will depend on having medical records of your disability and treatment.
In your area, there are social services available for adults. Consult an adult services caseworker, who can point you in the direction of charitable organizations near you that offer assistance with prescriptions. People with disabilities can also apply for Medicaid to help with medical cost.
Aside from SSDI and Medicaid, there are a host of other government benefits you may be eligible for. Food stamps and Section 8 housing are chief among these and can help reduce your day-to-day cost of living tremendously. There is usually a wait for subsidized housing, so it's important to file for these services as soon as possible.
In addition to keeping a roof over your head and food on the table, keeping the heat on is a necessity. During the extreme temperatures of winter and summer, you need utilities to be functional. The Low Income Energy Assistance Program is a state- and federally-funded program that helps both homeowners and renters cover the costs of heating and/or cooling bills. The services available depend on the region you live in, so check with local social services to find out more.
Don't be afraid to seek and accept help from any resources you can find, whether it be family and friends, local churches and charitable organizations, and government agencies. There's a light at the end of the tunnel; don't stop trying, and never give up hope.

Two-hundred homeless people in Atlanta benefited from the generosity of a couple whose daughter called off her wedding at the last minute.
Carol and Willie Fowler had an elaborate reception planned for their only daughter's nuptials.
But when she canceled the wedding 40 days out, the Fowlers were left with tons of food, a venue and entertainment that had already been paid for, Fox News reported.
Rather than let it go to waste, they called a local charity and invited 200 of Atlanta's homeless and their families to the Villa Christina restaurant for a lavish, four-course feast.
"All the plates were empty and there wasn't any leftover food at all. It was an eye-opening experience," Quisa Foster of Hosea Feed the Hungry & Homeless told ABC News. "You go to weddings sometimes and you see a lot of people really waste food. We take so many things for granted. These clients or guests, as we call them, they don't."
The event, dubbed the Fowler Family Celebration of Love, was also attended by the Fowler's daughter, Tamara, whom her parents said was in good spirits.

Oriental Medicine: a Tall Tale of Outdated Lore
Editor's Note: Dr. Gorski was on a rare vacation last week, recharging his batteries. As a result, there is no new material by him this week. Fortunately, Ben Kavoussi was ready with another in his series of posts on traditional Chinese medicine. Dr. Gorski will return next week; that is, if he doesn't return even sooner because he can't stand to be away from SBM for two whole weeks.
The established laws of nature do not support Oriental Medicine's claim of Yin and Yang and Five-Phases Theory. Oriental Medicine's main theory was constructed when our civilization had limited methods to understand our surroundings, and as such, it is only an ancient illusion.1
— Yong-Sang Yoo, MD, PhD, Chairman of the Committee for Medical Unification, Korean Medical Association, 2010
Yong-Sang Yoo is one of the strong and growing voices in Korea that is calling for an end to the national insurance coverage for Oriental Medicine.
Similarly, Professor Zhang Gongyao of the Central South China University petitioned the central government of China in 2006 to abolish support for Oriental Medicine because it has "no clear understanding of the human body, of the functions of medicines and their links to disease. It is more like a boat without a compass: it may reach the shore finally but it's all up to luck."2 Zhang Gongyao and fellow critics have consequently blasted China's traditional medicine as an often ineffective, even dangerous derivative of witchcraft that relies on untested concoctions and obscure ingredients to trick patients, and employs a host of excuses if the treatments do not work.3
Bloodletting is used in Oriental Medicine to relieve excess "heat," meaning fever, sore throat, joint pain, muscle sprain, as well as inflammation. It is often practiced in unsanitary conditions.
A Product of Archaic Thinking
The arguments of Yong-Sang Yoo and Zhang Gongyao are reminiscent of those of William R. Morse, Dean of Medical School at West China Union University, who wrote in 1934 that China's traditional medicine was a "weird medley of philosophy, religion, superstition, magic, alchemy, astrology, feng shui, divination, sorcery, demonology and quackery." Morse added that Chinese diagnostic methods "border on the ridiculous and possibly cross the line into absurdity." Harvey J. Howard — a Dean at the Peking Union Medical College — also wrote in 1934 that "the great majority of these Chinese medicines reminds one of the list of remedies suggested by the third witch in Shakespeare's Hamlet."4

Aloha Air Cargo, Hawaii's largest air freight carrier, held a groundbreaking ceremony for its new air cargo facility Thursday, which will consolidate existing cargo operations, aircraft maintenance, loading docks, support offices, and customer service operations into an integrated facility on the west side of the airport near the end of Elliott Street and Hale Kinai Road.
The facility initiates the kick-off for the Hawaii Airports Modernization Program – part of Gov. Neil Abercrombie's New Day Work Projects. In attendance were Gov. Abercrombie, Deputy Airport Director Ford Fuchigami, Kahu Kelekona Bishaw, Aloha Air Cargo Executives and employees, and various key customers and local Hawaii businesses.
"This expansion project is an investment in Aloha Air Cargo's future in serving the people and businesses of Hawaii, connecting individuals and the industry both within and beyond our islands," said Gov. Abercrombie. "The project is also the initial step in a historic, statewide airports modernization program that will generate thousands of jobs and increase the efficiency and scalability of our state's most utilized and visible transportation hubs. These investments will ultimately improve not only the visitor and kamaaina experiences but meet and exceed security and environmental requirements."
Aloha's cargo facility will act as its primary operational hub, which will coordinate logistics efforts with the company's Statewide shipping network across all major airports including Lihue, Kauai (LIH), Kahului, Maui (OGG), Kailua-Kona, Hawaii (KOA), and Hilo, Hawaii (ITO).
The groundbreaking is a perfect segue into Aloha Air Cargo's 5-year anniversary as an independent cargo company which takes place on May 14, 2013. The cargo carrier continues to grow and strengthen its core cargo business, while expanding its offerings to become a formidable logistics solutions provider – coming a long way since its much beloved predecessor, Aloha Airlines, closed its doors in March 2008.
The new cargo facility and hangar will be 115,000 square feet, including over 2,400 square feet of refrigerator capacity and five drive-up docks for shippers. Structural considerations were made to incorporate over 31,000 square feet of buildup area under roof for cargo to be sheltered from the elements, wind, sun, and rain. Completion of the facility is projected at the end of first quarter 2014. Until then, operations will not be impacted, and Aloha will continue to serve more than 2,000 local businesses who rely on the cargo carrier to move over 100 million pounds of freight annually into and across the State.
For more information on Aloha Air Cargo, please call toll free 888-94-ALOHA (25642) or visit www.AlohaAirCargo.com.

- Abstract
- We use high-resolution adaptive optics (AO) imaging on the Keck II telescope to study the gravitational lens B0128+437 in unprecedented detail, allowing us to resolve individual lensed quasar components and, for the first time, detect and measure properties of the lensing galaxy. B0128+437 is a small-separation lens with known flux-ratio and astrometric anomalies. We discuss possible causes for these anomalies, including the presence of substructure in the lensing galaxy, propagation effects due to dust and a turbulent interstellar medium, and gravitational microlensing. This work demonstrates that AO will be an essential tool for studying the many new small-separation lenses expected from future surveys.

Dollar General Store gets land use permit in ChesterBy Christian Avard
Staff Writer | February 27,2013CHESTER — The District Environmental Commission approved a land use permit for a Dollar General Store in Chester today.
According to the ruling, the permit authorized the Zaremba Group of Lakewood, Ohio to build a 9,100 square-foot retail store on two lots consisting of 10 acres combined. The proposed site will be located at 319 South Main St. in Chester.
The Zaremba Group also obtained a conditional use permit from the development review board and now has the green light to go ahead with construction, pending an appeal from local opponents. Several residents and local business owners testified against a Dollar General Store proposal, arguing that the store does not meet the town plan criterion and will hurt the local economy.
It is unknown whether opponents will appeal the Act 250 decision. They must make a decision in 30 days according to the ruling.
Dollar General Store is a national retail chain with over 10,000 stores in 40 states. According to its website, the company makes more than $14.8 billion in sales a year and employs 90,000 employees.
Dollar General Store is "the largest retailers in selling top-quality brands by America manufacturers," the website said.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER A new report from a commission that studied the cost, availability and quality of... Full StoryVermont fish hatchery changes focus, looks inland

IMO, Spain's national team will probably win it all next year.
You're right. In Europe, Latin America, Central America, Africa and almost in Asia the most important sport is Football (Not Soccer). A game between Boca Juniors and River Plate, Celtic and Rangers, Barcelona-Real Madrid, Real Madrid-Atletico Madrid, Milan-Internazionale, Man U-Liverpool, etc have as espectation or more than the NBA finals (I think more, ).
In Europe the superbowl is a joke. However a UCL final is the best, only surpassed by the final of the world world cup.
There aren't no closed leagues in Europe. We do not like. The system of promotion and relegation is much more exciting. You cannot rebuild like in NBA (for example) and spend one year lossing every matches you play because you go to an inferior league (come on Newcastle!), what is a economical disaster for the club.
The biggest clubs in Europe have to win always no matter what happens, always win.
Yes, It's definitely a cultural issue.
I'm spanish but I think that nowadays Premier League is the best league in Europe, the level of the second-line teams is better than anycountry. Only a few teams like Barcelona, Inter, Juve (Madrid, Milan, Bayern in other years) can compete with them.
For the Man U fans, we would have a circustancial defense in the final, we have problems in aereo. But could Man U have the ball playing against Barcelona, I don't think so. If Man U play a open game may loss as happened to Real Madrid. But if you play back like Chelsea, you'll have more options to win.
I think that Fergusson will put in the starter team Ronaldo (second striker), Rooney (left wing), Tevez (striker) and Park (right wing) (Bervatov is too slow and less combatant then others) forward, in the middle Carrick and Scholes and the usual defense.
Barcelona will play with Valdes, Sylvinho (left back), Pique and Puyol (middle back), Caceres (right back). Toure Yaya front of the defense, Iniesta and Xavi in the middle, and forward Henry (left), Eto'o (centre) and Messi (right).
IMO, Spain's national team will probably win it all next year.
dude you follow Man Utd but ur username is Frank Lampard??
I'm a Boro man in the EPL, and shattered at the news that we have been relegated for the 09/10 season. Southgate has stated there is a massive clean out on the cards though, which is a good thing, and with any luck we could jump back up into the EPL for the following season.
"The Maccabi gym is incredible, if you have a chance, you should go" - Danilo Gallinari
i cannot believe they beat Spain
not the best time but i dont give a ****
DaTPRiNCE...That EGYPTiAN Fella, #MeloMafia
Can't believe what a play they had at goal 2!!
Yeah word man, Spain had like 29 shots on and 12 on Goal and the US had 9 shots 2 on goal. The difference is that USA got all those shots on goal to count Spain didn't.
Who cares anyway, the Confed cup is worthless.
Love this game...I couldn't live my life without it...My favorite team is SL Benfica from Portugal...Their kinda like the Knicks lol...Great past, but doing horrible in recent years...But this season is different...We look to be getting back to our best...So hopefully my soccer team returns to winning ways this season and next season I hope my basketball team returns to winning ways...
Forca Benfica and Knicks
So true my friend lol...But have you seen them play this season?...We are just kicking ass and taking names...We kinda play the same style as your team, Barcelona...Just lovely passing and attacking and running up the score on poor old teams lol...Also it was great when Benfica played Barce back in the 05/06 CL...We really gave you a run for your money, but in the end you guys were the better team...Hope we meet again soon lol

Please RSVP to Linn Walsh, Assistant to the City Manager at email@example.com or call (415) 388-4863.
Guided by its Core Values to preserve health and safety and the community's high quality of life, the Mill Valley City Council established environmental conservation and sustainability as one of its Key Issues. The Council has identified the need to pursue environmental sustainability initiatives such as the installation of Electric Vehicle Charging Stations as one of their Priority Projects for 2012-2014. In April 2012 the City Council approved a budget adjustment and authorized the City Manager to proceed with the installation of an Electric Vehicle Charging Station at the Hauke Park parking lot. In June 2012, the City Council took a budget action to phase out large, inefficient former police vehicles as general City-purpose and employee carpool vehicles and authorized the City Manager to proceed with the procurement of more efficient replacement vehicles. About the Charging Station: Mill Valley's first Electric Vehicle Charging Station was established by the City Council as a pilot program for one year to evaluate the ease of use and popularity of the station as well as to identify parking or other operational issues. During the pilot period the City will not charge a fee for electrical usage. City staff recommended the location at Hauke Park because of its proximity to the Public Safety Building Solar Array as a power source, the proximity to publicly used fields, hiking and biking paths and its proximity to Highway 101. The station has two output levels, a Level I (110v) and a Level II (240v) output. Parking will not be restricted for Electric Vehicle use only, and there will be no time limit on the stall. This project was made possible by a grant for $26,757 from Transportation Authority of Marin, California Energy Commission, Association of Bay Area Governments, and the Bay Area Air Quality Management District. The City purchased the charger at a manufacturer-reduced cost of $4,362. The installation for the charger and new energy efficient hand dryers and their installation cost $7,950. The rest of the grant funds were used for pedestrian and ADA improvements, including an accessible curb ramp and parking stalls, and the replacement of a damaged walkway. The City also paid $900 for an ADA consultant to assist with the project with City funds. City staff estimates the station will incur energy costs of approximately $400 per year, which will be accommodated through the excess energy produced by the Public Safety Building Solar Array. After the program's first year, the City will pay an annual subscription fee of $230 to the Chargepoint Network to participate in its program. This subscription provides the network connectivity, driver and host services and billing ability should the City choose to start charging for use. This subscription cost will be funded from the City Budget's Parking Fund. The City is in the beginning stages of evaluating sites for more Electric Vehicle Charging Stations along the 101 corridor. The City is also looking into installing four Electric Vehicle Charging Stations behind the Public Safety Building for the sole use of City-owned electric vehicles. About the Mitsubishi i-MiEVs: The City has leased four new Mitsubishi i-MiEV Electric Vehicles for a three-year period a reduced cost through a partnership with several private sector companies: Active International, Mitsubishi Motors of North America and Mike Albert Leasing. The offer stems from an arrangement between Active and Mitsubishi, whereby the vehicles are payment for services the automobile company received from Active. Active is in turn "donating" the lease of the vehicles to municipalities. The first year of the lease will be covered by Active and three-quarters of the second year will be covered by a California Clean Vehicle Rebate for no-emission vehicles. Payment on the third year of the program will be the responsibility of the City. The City will also pay for the registration of the vehicles. The vehicles will be used to replace inefficient former police vehicles as general City-purpose and employee carpool vehicles. The addition of these vehicles to the City fleet will help the town to meet its greenhouse gas emission reduction targets. Download the event flyer.

When Old Man Winter finally dies down and spring breezes blow in, it's easy to focus only on the garden and forget to do some maintenance on the house.
However, experts agree that a do-it-yourself home inspection is important in the spring. By following these guidelines, you can save money on repairs in the long run.
Head Outside
Start on the exterior of the house. Use binoculars and scan the roof for any missing or damaged shingles, paying special attention around chimneys and vents.
Inspect gutters and downspouts to see that they haven't pulled loose and that they aren't clogged. Make sure downspouts are extended away from the foundation.
"If (gutters) didn't get cleaned of debris in the late fall, get them cleaned before the April showers," said Reggie Marston, a longtime certified home inspector and owner of Residential Equity Management Home Inspections in Springfield, Va.
While you're outside, check the paint and caulking around the house -- be sure all of the caulking is intact to stop leaks around windows and doors. Inspect the siding and scan all brickwork for cracks. Check that there are no bushes or plantings within a foot of the air conditioning unit, and make sure there aren't any animal nests inside the unit, Marston said.
Check the dirt grading around the foundation. The dirt should slope away from the foundation at least 6 inches in the first 10 feet.
"This is an easy eyeball inspection. If water pools at the base of a wall, you don't have adequate drainage. Proper grading always sheds water away from the foundation of the house to prevent damage from moisture," said David Lupberger, a home improvement expert at Service Magic, which is a free service that helps homeowners find pre-screened home service professionals, such as contractors, electricians and plumbers.
If you have a deck or porch, check for rotting materials, mold and make sure all nuts and bolts are tightened. If the deck shakes or sways, extra bracing should be added. Decks and porches should be cleaned and sealed every two to three years.
Check Your Basement
Moving inside, grab a flashlight and scan everything in the basement. Check the water and sewer pipes for leaks, look at the basement walls and floor for large cracks or mold, and look for signs of pests or rot, Marston said.
If there is any water in the basement, it should be addressed immediately.
"Always make sure you do not have water getting into your basement. Over time, water causes small problems that lead to big problems," such as damage to the foundation and mold, Lupberger said.
Most of the time, basement water problems can be addressed by regrading the exterior, extending a downspout or cleaning a gutter. Also, install a dehumidifier to dry out moist basements.
Be sure to check for rust on the hot water heater, Lupberger said. Spring is a good time to service hot water heaters and all heating, ventilation and air conditioning units (HVAC). All HVAC systems should be professionally inspected and serviced twice a year, and a hot water heater should be serviced at least once a year.
If there are cracks in the walls, take a picture with a ruler next to them, or measure them and monitor any changes. Cracks approaching 1/4 of an inch or larger should be assessed by a professional, Marston said.
Electrical Maintenance
Experts don't recommend for homeowners to tinker with the electrical panel -- that's a job best left for a professional electrician. However, if there is any buzzing or humming from the panel, call a pro, Marston said.
If any circuits are repeatedly being tripped, it may mean the panel is being overworked, especially in older homes that don't have a high amp capacity, Lupberger said.
Also check for any frayed electrical cords in the house, and make sure that extension cords aren't being used as permanent wiring.
Check For Leaks
Homeowners should inspect the plumbing system by starting where the water supply enters the home. Turn the main water valve off and on, checking for any leaks. Grab a flashlight and scan all visible pipes for leaks. If accessible, check the areas below bathrooms to ensure there aren't any leaks into ceilings, basements or crawlspaces.
"The homeowner should work (his or her) way through the entire house, checking all valves, fixtures and appliances," Marston said.
If there is low water pressure, it could mean there is a leak or a rusting pipe, Lupberger said.
Windows And Doors Matter
Go room by room and open and close all doors and windows. Tighten the screws in any loose hinges, and lubricate with a silicone spray if any are squeaking.
If any windows or doors rattle during a windstorm, they are no longer sealing out the outdoors, Lupberger said. Seal any peeling paint or cracked caulking, which may be letting moisture into the house.
Climb Up To The Attic
Shine a flashlight into the attic eaves and look for any signs of pests. If you find any, contact a professional immediately.
Look for any streams of light coming in through holes in the roof. Make sure there is enough insulation for summer and winter. If there is too little insulation, you could get ice dams in the attic, Lupberger said.
When To Call A Professional
If your home needs repairs that are beyond your capabilities or if there are safety concerns, it's often best to call a professional. Home service contractors can be found in the yellow pages or online, through such websites as ServiceMagic.com or Handyman.com.
A home inspector can also be a good source of information for new homeowners or those with difficulties maintaining a residence. Home inspectors across the country can be found at The American Society of Home Inspectors.

Dalkowski: Fastest Pitcher Ever?
Right now, I am reading the book The Code: Baseball's Unwritten Rules and Its Ignore-at-Your-Own-Risk Code of Conduct by Ross Bernstein. It's a facinating book, very interesting. In this book, I discovered the story of a pitcher named Steve Dalkowski.
He was a minor league pitcher from the late 1950s to the early 1960s. He is considered by some to be the fastest pitcher ever. It was reported that his fastball reached 110 mph, but others think it was only 105 mph. Thing is, the radar guns back then were not that good, so there are very few accurate readings of him.
He was never able to get to the majors because though he was very fast, he was also very wild. In 1960, he had 262 strikeouts in the California League. But he also gave up 262 walks!
When he was first signed by the Orioles, he threw a pitch that took off a part of a hitter's ear and gave him a concussion. He would stand 15 feet away from a wooden fence and throw a pitch through it. He also threw a ball over a fence 440 feet away.
Though he was insanely fast (many players were utterly scared of him), he was terribly wild. Some think that his confidence deteriorated because he was scared about killing someone with his pitches. Evidently, he hurt his arm in his first major league call-up, and never came back effectively. The rest of his story is pretty sad. He had major problems with alcohol. He was placed in Walnut Hill Care Center in 1994. He has since been able to stay sober, but is still suffering from the effects of his alcoholism.
He was certainly very fast, and he had a very interesting career. Here are some facts on Steve Dalkowski:
- One time in a minor league game, he threw three pitches that went through the backstop.
- When he was in high school, he threw a no-hit shutout…with 18 strikeouts and 18 walks.
- One time, he struck out 27 batters but walked 16. He threw 283 pitches. (I think that was an extra inning game)
- Another time, he got pulled out of the game in the second inning after throwing 120 pitches.
- When he was in the Northern League, he threw a one-hitter but lost 9-8.
- At Stockton, he threw a pitch that knocked an umpire back 18 feet, broke his mask in three places, and put him in the hospital for three days with a concussion.
- In a game in the California League, he walked nine batters, gave up only 4 hits, and struck out 19. But he lost 8-3.
Some pretty crazy stuff there!

Wow! I don't think today that a pitcher who threw that fast, but was that wild, would be allowed in so many games. It is sad that his life hit such a low point. Thanks for telling us about him.
Interesting story. Sometimes we forget how hard it is to make it to the bigs even if you have some talent. There are so many guys out there who had fleeting success, only to end up not fulfilling their potential.
That's some interesting stuff. I might have switched positions if I were him since he seemed like he had bad control problems. The outfield or maybe shortstop would have been likely destinations (I say shortstop because of his arm and how fast he could get it to the 1st baseman).
JULIA, definitely wouldn't be allowed in this time, not unless he could control himself.
BIG PAPI 72, it really is. Kind of strange, lots of beanball stories, but interesting.
JANE, yeah, that's true.
HAPPY, definitely!
DARION, yeah, that's what I thought of, too. He might have been great in the outfield or something.
Great story. Makes me think of Nuke LaLoosh in Bull Durham, and the conversation by the coaches after his start. Something like:
He walked 18.
New league record!
Struck out 18.
Another new league record! In addition he hit the sportswriter, the public address announcer, the bull mascot twice… Also new league records!
Funny you bring that up, Kathy, because that character is actually loosely based on Dalkowski!
That is funny! Thanks for letting me know. I do LOVE that crazy movie.
Wow. I only heard names like Satchel PAige and Bob Gibson. I have to look this guy up.

Hi all,
This is my first post here. I just had my baby boy on the 15th of June. From the start we have had problems. He was born at 10lbs, 1.5oz and lost 1 lb in 4 days. He also had no wet dipes or bm after the meconium passed. I took him to our family Doc and she said that losing 10% of body weight is normal which I already knew. The problem was that he continuously cried and no pee or poo in over 24 hours. I was a bit freaked to say the least. I have been supplementing with an sns and formula. I am not at all thrilled about this, but I can not let him starve. After feedings, I pump for about 10-15 minutes. I am taking goats rue, fenugreek and blessed thistle to increase my milk supply and seeing no results. When I pump after his feedings, I can't even get 1/4 ounce. I feel like I can't even enjoy my new baby boy because I am a slave to the sns (which is a pain) and the pump. A feeding could last more than an hour. I also have 3 dd's that need to be tended to but I am worthless when I am working this hard. We have already seen a lc and she said his latch was perfect, and looks like he is doing his job. So I ask, why am I not producing milk???? I am now $500 in the hole (the cost to see the doc, lc, herbs, pump, etc...) I have noticed that my baby thinks of me as a giant paci to fall asleep on. He doesn't stay awake beyond 2 minutes of nursing. I have tried everything short of being cruel!!! Well, I was cruel today when he got an ice pack on his feet. And well, that didn't even work.... I am sorry to ramble on lik,e this but I am up to my ears in frustration... Any suggestions?????

There are about 400 types which are distributed in the human body and the major area of their tasks is the GI tract. GI tract basically consists of the organs which are involved in the food digestion, processing for making it good to carry out the process of metabolism and the excretion of wastes from the body. Hence, probiotics help in all the tasks of the tract's organs. The very basic task of all the probiotics types is to guard the concerned organs. For this, the probiotics form the layers which cover the insides of organs and prevent the attack of bad microorganisms to the maximum possibility. Moreover, the probiotics of any type can be helpful in triggering the functionality of organ and improving the functions too.
One of the major tasks of probiotics is to make sure that digestion process would not have any flaw. In the absence of probiotics, the bad bacteria and other microorganisms can deliver the greater harm. Moreover, lactic acid is most commonly required for the better digestion and further metabolism. This lactic acid is better produced by the lactobacillus which is a probiotic.
Yeasts are really to be avoided for avoiding infections in the tracts. For this, probiotics have been very effective. You can even supply probiotics with the help of natural foods like yogurt and some supplements as well. Lactobacillus is the probiotic which can help fighting the yeasts of the tracts.
You can purchase the supplements for the better growth of probiotics(http://www.healthdesigns.com/

I havn't tried out other CACAO products before. but if you plan on making chocolate coconut/soy/ cows milk, you should dissolve the powder in HOT water first, otherwise, the powder will just float on top of the liquid and not dissolve.

Salt Lake at Las Vegas — April 14
My record for the season remains intact.
I've been to one Quakes game, and the two Bees games here in Las Vegas.
They've lost all of them.
So I'm sure the good folk in Cedar Rapids and Little Rock are urging me to stay far away from their towns.
The Bees' bats finally awoke last night, scoring four runs in the top of the 4th to tie the score at 3-3. They fell behind at 6-3, but tied it again in the top of the 7th 6-6. No problem for the locals, who scored two in the bottom of the 7th and one in the bottom of the 8th to win 9-6.
I have video of much of the Bees' offense, and will try to post it on www.futureangels.com in the next day or two. (It's not often you get to see a Brent Del Chiaro triple.)
As for Kendry Morales, per the Bees media folk Kendry was removed Friday night due to a stiff lower back. He missed Saturday night but could be available today.
Bartolo Colon is scheduled to make his rehab start here today at 12:00 PM PDT. The weather forecast for the afternoon is a 40% chance of scattered thunderstorms with the temperature in the low 60s. Right now (9 AM) it's mostly sunny outside.
I recorded several interviews yesterday which will be in the next FutureAngels.com Radio podcast. One was with Jim Gemma, the media guy for the Las Vegas 51s. Yeah, I know, they're a Dodgers affiliate, but I think Angels fans should give some thought to driving up here when Salt Lake is in town and make a good showing of Halo Red. There are a lot of Dodgers fans in the stands. I've seen a few people wearing Angels gear. The Bees return for a four-game series July 12-15, so it would be nice to get a little Freeway Series rivalry going here in the town that never sleeps.

In these difficult times, affording a quality higher education degree can be the determining factor on which an institution is selected. BTS's Financial Aid Office has one simple goal: provide current and prospective students with the best possible assistance to facilitate their education goals at BTS.
Our students receive awards, scholarships, and grants from a wide variety of sources. Before applying for financial aid, students need to supply their financial obligations through personal funds saved for education and by building a personal support network. A personal support network may include the student's home church, denomination, people to whom the student has ministered, friends, family, clubs, and foundations.
We also believe that no qualified student should be discouraged from pursuing seminary for merely financial reasons. We have established the financial aid program to supplement students' own financial resources.
A BTS Grant Application is required when applying for any need-based grant from BTS.
If you have any questions regarding our degree and non-degree programs, feel free to contact our helpful admissions department. They will be able to assist you.
BTS is accredited by the Middle States Association and by the Association of Theological Schools in the United States and Canada.
Important Forms
Loan Information
As a disciple of Jesus, you are making a life-changing decision to attend seminary. The life of a disciple is costly. Faith and finance are not separate journeys.
It takes a lot of courage to go to seminary. It is a constant set of personal questions…one of which is how to live life so that basic needs are met, but not at the expense of your future. The greater your management of your debt, the greater your freedom to follow your calling in your future.
Successful seminary students engage and steward money as a spiritual practice. Scripture gives us a picture of how important planning is to the journey:
Luke 14:28-31 (ESV)
For which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost, whether he has enough to complete it? Otherwise, when he has laid a foundation and is not able to finish, all who see it begin to mock him, saying, 'This man began to build and was not able to finish.'
Or what king, going out to encounter another king in war, will not sit down first and deliberate whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand?
One of the most beneficial concepts that you can embrace is advanced decision making. This is the time for you to think through: Is there anything that is currently draining the energy that you need for the seminary experience? What can you reduce in expenses for this season of life? Is there anyone you know who could commit to financial support of expenses such as books, travel, etc?
There is no one way to pay for school. If you are like most students, you may be planning to take a loan for some of your seminary experience. Borrowing is not a bad thing. Borrowing responsibly is the best thing. To protect your future, do not borrow even one dollar more than you need. Taking out loans is easy; how to pay them back is what is difficult.
Our heart is for you to complete your seminary experience with health in all areas of your life, including in your financial circumstances.

(NewsUSA) - Most of us have gotten the message that exposing our skin to UV rays without any protection is about as smart as handing a signed blank check to a stranger. But it's only recently that health experts have seriously begun warning about an equally dangerous threat those rays pose to another part of our bodies: our eyes.
Think about it: The eyes are the only internal body tissues directly exposed to UV. Three hundred and sixty five days a year -- no matter how "cloudy" it appears outside -- radiation (mainly) from the sun is beaming down on our vulnerable windows to the world.
"The rods and cones of the eye are rich in light-absorbing pigmented molecules called chromophores, making it particularly susceptible to photochemical reactions," says Dr. Howard Purcell, O.D., F.A.A.O., former chairman of the Cornea and Contact Lenses Department at Nova Southeastern University's College of Optometry, noting that even the light produced by indoor fluorescent light bulbs relies on the release of UV radiation. "Over time, damage from UV radiation is cumulative and often irreversible."
Among the potential effects of long-term exposure:
Cataracts. This progressive clouding of the eye's lens is the primary cause of blindness worldwide, and recent studies have shown that UV accelerates the deterioration that leads to this age-related condition. Cataract affects more than 22 million people age 40 and older in the U.S. alone.
Eyelid Cancer. According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, 5-10 percent of all skin cancers are found on the eyelids.
Age-Related Macular Degeneration. Damage to the blood vessels and corresponding nerves in the retina blurs fine detail and dulls colors.
Alarmed that 94 percent of the population remains unaware of the adverse effect UV radiation has on their eyes, an expert panel recommended the adoption of the eye-care equivalent of the successful systems used to rate skincare and sunscreen products.

Police have confirmed an eight-year-old boy fell an estimated 12 stories through a trash chute at the Towers of Kuhio Park Wednesday night.
Responding to a report of a missing child, Honolulu Police located the boy in the dumpster of the Towers of Kuhio Park building A around 9:22 p.m.
"He's lucky to be alive because that was a pretty high drop," says Kent Techuo, nearby resident.
The owner at Towers of Kuhio park wouldn't let KITV4 on the property because of the ongoing investigation. Residents we spoke with say the child may have been playing around near the chute. Others think the boy was trying to climb in to get to a higher floor.
Residents say the child is lucky to be alive.
"Especially 12 floors, that's like falling off the building but just a trash can there to catch your fall," says Jerry Killion, a nearby resident.
Building owner Michael's Development released this statement saying...
"We were very saddened to learn this, and we are relieved and happy to know that the child is expected to be okay. We have been reaching out to his family to help them in any way that we can."
This situation could have been worse. Trash chutes in some buildings can lead to a rubbish compactor thats doors can be locked.
Accidents in trash chutes are rare but not unheard of. Just last year, a boy in Chicago fell 46 stories down a trash chute and was killed by injuries from the fall.
"Anything over ten feet is a potential for a fatal fall, says Dan Galanis, an Epidemiologist for the Department of Health Keiki Injury Prevention program.
Galanis is an expert in keiki injury prevention. He thought he'd heard it all, but this situation was new to him.
"It's a tough situation but basically you have to do whatever you can to make sure a child is not in danger or off on their own putting themselves in bad situations," says Galanis.
EMS tells us the child was taken to the Queen's Medical Center in Serious condition.
