Huguely Sentenced to 23 Years in Prison for Love's Death
by Corey McLaughlin | LaxMagazine.com | Twitter
A judge on Thursday sentenced former Virginia men's lacrosse player George Huguely to 23 years in prison for the death of former Virginia women's lacrosse player Yeardley Love.
Huguely, 24, entered a Charlottesville, Va., courthouse in handcuffs Thursday afternoon, wearing long hair and a striped jumpsuit to face his sentence. A jury in February recommended 26 years in jail after finding Huguely guilty of second-degree murder and grand larceny in the May 2010 death of Love.
Defense lawyers argued in court for a 14-year sentence. Circuit Court Judge Edward Hogshire, who presided over the February trial and a hearing last week in which Huguely was denied a new trial, decided on a sentence three years less than what the jury had recommended.
Huguely, who didn't take the stand at trial, spoke briefly Thursday before the sentence was delivered, according to reporters in the courtroom. He addressed Love's mother, Sharon Love, and her sister, Lexi Love.
"Ms. Love and Lexi, I am so sorry for your loss. I hope and pray you find peace, and I thank my family for all their love and support," Huguely said, according to the NBC affiliate in Charlottesville.
Love's mother and her sister issued a statement after the hearing.
"We find no joy in others' sorrow," the statement read, according to The Richmond Times-Dispatch. "We plan to work diligently through the One Love Foundation to try and prevent this from happening to another family. We are relieved to put this chapter behind us."
Huguely is not eligible for parole, per Virginia law, but his sentence can be reduced by 15 percent for good behavior and participation in programs offered by the state's Department of Corrections. Huguely also will get credit for time served since being arrested more than two years ago.
Assuming his sentence is not reduced and he serves all 21 years in jail, Huguely will be 45 upon his release. He also will be on probation for three years after his release, and is no longer allowed to drink alcohol, NBC-3 said.
In the February trial, Huguely faced a maximum of 60 years in prison before the jury's recommended sentence, which could be lowered but not raised by the judge Thursday.
On Thursday, Huguely's lawyers called character witnesses to testify on his behalf, including a Roman Catholic priest he has met with over the years who said Huguely is a spiritual person who displayed no anger or aggression in his presence, the Baltimore Sun reported. The Commonwealth called witnesses that testified Huguely showed a pattern of excessive drinking and violence prior to Love's murder.
In late April and early May, Love's family filed a pair of civil lawsuits against Huguely and against Virginia men's lacrosse head coach Dom Starsia, Cavaliers assistant coach Marc Van Arsdale and Virginia athletic director Craig Littlepage for negligence in Love's death. Each sought nearly $30 million.

Study Design. Prospective study.
Objective. To examine the efficacy of teriparatide or bisphosphonate treatment to reduce pedicle screw (PS) loosening after instrumented lumbar posterolateral fusion in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis.
Summary of Background Data. Failure of fixation caused by loosening of PSs in osteoporosis is a problem in spinal surgery. Oral administration of bisphosphonate or intermittent injection of parathyroid hormone treatment increases bone mass and reduces the risk of osteoporotic vertebral fractures. Although these treatments may be factor in improving bone quality, a clinical study of the efficacy of bisphosphonate or parathyroid hormone for reducing PS loosening that addresses the quality of the bone marrow and pedicle cortex has not yet been reported.
Methods. Sixty-two women with osteoporosis diagnosed with degenerative spondylolisthesis were divided into 3 groups: a teriparatide group (daily subcutaneous injection of 20 μg of teriparatide, n = 20), a bisphosphonate group (daily oral administration 2.5 mg of risedronate, n = 20), and a control group (without medication for osteoporosis, n = 22). All patients underwent decompression and 1- or 2-level instrumented posterolateral fusion with a local bone graft. Loosening of PSs and surgical outcome were evaluated radiographically, clinically, and by computed tomography 12 months after surgery.
Results. At 12-month follow-up, the incidence of PS loosening was 7% to 13% in the teriparatide group, 13% to 26% in the risedronate group, and 15% to 25% in the control group. The incidence of PS loosening in the teriparatide group was significantly lower than that in the risedronate or the control group (P < 0.05). In contrast, the extent of PS loosening in the risedronate group was not significantly different from that in the control group (P > 0.05).
Conclusion. Our findings suggest that administration of teriparatide increased the quality of the lumbar spine bone marrow and pedicle cortex.

Grown-Up Performance, Built For Kids by Kidz Gear!! (Product Review and Giveaway)
My kids are all into their electronics and that includes their Nintendo DS' and Portable Video Players.
We take several trips a year and they always have them with them to keep them occupied on the long car rides. I have to say it drives me crazy though hearing all the different noises while being cooped up in a car. Plus it makes it hard for each of them to hear the item they are using.
I prolonged this review a bit as I really wanted to try it out. We had 2 trips planned over about a 2 month period and I wanted to use them for both to see if it would help. I was greatly surprised that they worked wonderfully. The car rides were so quiet and my hubby and I could actually hear the radio....LOL
Each item is very easy to use and hookup.
I came across a wonderful company that helps with this.
They are called Kidz Gear.
About Kidz Gear:Kidz Gear is about delivering a line of products and accessories with adult product features, performance and quality levels, but available at a price-point in-line with products for children.
As many parents have, I too have purchased "toy" products for my children: headphones, binoculars, flashlights — only to find they were poorly manufactured, using substandard if not even dangerous components and materials. Obviously, I was tired of purchasing toys and could not afford to give my children my "adult" versions of these products. I decided there was a need to meet in the middle with high-quality, fully functional and ergonomically designed products that are value-priced and in the sizes and styles kids will love! Thus the birth of Kidz Gear:
Grown-Up Performance, Built For Kids!
We received several items to review. I will list each below with info about each product.
Apple Wired Headphones For Kids (with Inline Remote/Mic Control)
This are wonderful. They are fully adjustable and my kids use them while playing their Nintendo DS'. Each ear piece is cushioned to make them very comfortable on the ears while wearing them. My kids love them and say they work just perfect.
This item has a feature to Control Volume Limit Technology.
Inline Mic controls: Volume Up, Volume Down, and Play/Pause/Next Track/Previous Track.
These are great for an iPod, iPhone and iPad too.
This set is very comfortable too. It has cushioned ear pieces for comfortable wearing. It also adjust to fit your childs head perfectly. Best of all it is Wireless so NO Wires involved. I really like this idea beings my kids will be using it.
This works with certain models of cars that are equipped with the built in DVD players. They are super easy to use and work great. They are really great for the long trips that we take. One child can use these to watch a movie and no one else has to hear the movie. Wonderful idea and the kids said they are very comfortable to wear while sitting in their seats.
They have an On/Off switch and volume control too.
We also received a Volume Limit Splitter Cable that can be attached to the headphones and a Headphone Volume Limit Cable.
They also sent us 2 carrying bags to hold the headphones. They are padded drawstring bags to ensure your headphones will be save when not using them. They have a super soft material on the inside that helps protect the headphones too.
They were great during our trips to store the headphones without them getting damaged.
Please be sure to LIKE them on Facebook too!
They have also been generous enough to offer a giveaway to our viewers too. Please look below for the Rafflecopter form to enter and Good Luck!!

'Tuition Freedom Day'
Ohio Northern University will recognize Tuition Freedom Day on Feb. 22 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the McIntosh Activities Room. Tuition Freedom Day is the hypothetical day where the University stops running on tuition dollars and begins to run solely by donations from outside parties.
Tuition covers only 65 percent of ONU's operating costs for the year. The University relies on donations from alumni, faculty, staff, students, parents and supporters of Ohio Northern to cover the rest. Tuition Freedom Day was created to educate students about the generosity of donors.
"We want to show students exactly where the extra operating costs come from," said Kelly Brant, director of annual giving at ONU.
All students and faculty are invited to attend Tuition Freedom Day at their convenience to learn more. Scheduled activities include music, fun facts, food, a video from donors, and a question-and-answer session.

Apple Quietly Made the iMac's Fusion Drive Much Smaller
It seems making that 4K screen affordable came at a corner-cutting cost.
It seems making that 4K screen affordable came at a corner-cutting cost.
Sharper screens and more colour.
You don't always have to wait for a keynote for new Apple products, as is the case today.
Screen resolution always marches to the steady pace of pixel-density progress, and LG may have accidentally let slip Apple's next resolution-gratuitous display.
CES 2015: Make your Apple desktop more USB-friendly without undermining its good looks.
If you're a content producer looking to go big on a new system, the iMac Retina 5K beckons. You won't regret answering its call.
The folks over at iFixit have done their usual job of tearing exciting new bits of technology to pieces, this time with the new Retina iMac as their unlucky victim
5K in your face!
If you've just scored 10 grand on a scratch card, enjoy your new mega-machine!
Me eyes cannae take it, Cap'n!
Probably quite a lot of money, but in what sort of region? We dug up old prices and had a stab at guessing.
9to5Mac reports that apple is in the late stages of testing new iMacs that have higher resolution displays. We could reportedly see the new Macs at an event in the next couple of weeks.
That's the next rumoured desktop screen in the pipeline from Apple.
Apple has just introduced a new, cheaper iMac model. From today, £899 will buy Cook & Co.'s CHEAPEST all-in-one super-slim desktop.
The WWDC no-show may be ready after all, but those expecting big changes will be disappointed.
It has to happen eventually, and the latest rumours hint that a Retina iMac is on its way sooner rather than later.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – Radio listeners, reporters and city officials are reacting to the death of legendary 1010 WINS newsman Stan Brooks.
Brooks was the longtime City Hall reporter for 1010 WINS. WCBS 880's Rich Lamb offered his thoughts on his friend's passing Monday afternoon.
"Stan was one of the hardest working, most talented radio reporters I've ever known," Lamb recounted of his longtime colleague. "He was extraordinary, really."
Last week, the Stan Brooks Radio Room was officially unveiled in City Hall.
WEB EXTRA: Read Stan Brooks' Full Obit
Lamb called Brooks' final months and positive attitude in the face of a painful battle with cancer "inspirational."
Mayor Michael Bloomberg released a statement Monday evening, reading in part:
"Today, New York City today lost an honorable man, a legendary reporter and a trusted voice," the statement began. "Stan was loved by his colleagues and friends inside and outside the business. And maybe the most telling measure about him: he was even liked and respected by his most cranky listeners – the many mayors he covered. Our thoughts and prayers are with Stan's family, and may he rest in peace."
Police Commissioner Ray Kelly also issued a statement honoring Brooks.
"Stan Brooks was an institution in New York journalism. As police commissioner I've had the pleasure to be on the other end of many of Stan's questions and, first and foremost, he was fair and accurate," Kelly said in the statement. "Stan was a true gentleman and will be missed by all those fortunate to have crossed paths with him, both personally and professionally."
U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) also honored Brooks in a tweet Monday evening.
"Stan Brooks was a reporters' reporter, incisive but kind, and loved on both sides of the microphone," Schumer tweeted.
Condolences also came in from Mayor-elect Bill de Blasio.
"It's very hard to imagine New York City without Stan Brooks. He's a voice that we all came to trust. He was always an honest broker. And I think people felt he not only had a fantastic voice, but a very believable voice, someone the people came to rely on and to trust. He had a voice that really spoke to all New Yorkers. There was a humility to him. There was a decency to him," de Blasio said in the statement.
"It's hard to imagine he won't be there for the next press conference. We've lost someone who really epitomizes everything that's good about New York City, but also someone New Yorkers relied on and listened to in a very, very special way," de Blasio continued.
People who knew Brooks as an everyday person were also remembering him Monday night. As 1010 WINS' Gary Baumgarten reported, Brooks lived at the Manhattan Plaza at 43rd Street and Tenth Avenue. A neighbor decided to say hi one day.
"He was a great guy. I've seen him on the elevator, and we've had these conversations, and it was great to see him live after hearing him on the radio so often, and he was just a very, very cool guy to talk to," he said.
The neighbor said he would have conversations with Brooks about politics and life in general.
Dozens of listeners had also commented and offered their condolences on the 1010 WINS Facebook page as of Monday evening.
Brooks died peacefully at home surrounded by family on Monday afternoon. He was 86.
Please leave your memories of Stan and condolences for the Brooks family on our Facebook page.

Magic Sad Slide Continues – Sky is Falling Edition
It was January 17th, and the Magic had just beaten the Charlotte Bobcats to win their 5th game and improve their record to 10-3. That's when J.J. Redick delivered the sort of quote that takes fans from "cautiously optimistic" to "all aboard".
Redick after the Bobcats win, "We have a chance to be the best team I've been on in my six years with the Magic."
It was January 29th, and the Magic had just lost to the Indiana Pacers at home to lose 5 of 7 games since the above quote had been delivered. The sky was/is proverbially falling.
Redick after the 106-85 Pacers loss, "I wish I could pinpoint one thing," J.J. Redick said, "I wish there was an algebraic equation to have a final answer."
Less than two weeks… my, oh my what a difference a day makes.
For Orlando, the last 10 quarters of basketball have been mostly a nightmare. The team has averaged 17.7 points per quarter in that span while giving up 25.3. These numbers don't even include the 56 point franchise record low output in Boston on January 23rd.
The story for Orlando is much of the same. Limited ball movement, lack of athleticism, turnovers, poor free throw shooting, no shot creators, lackluster energy/effort/focus, and a superstar MVP candidate with one foot out the door.
You can get away with one or two of those areas on any given night but when they all collectively show their ugly face, then you get the type of output that has haunted the Orlando Magic for the last two weeks.
Unfortunately, as J.J. Redick pointed out tonight, there is no easy solution. This is a team in flux. Three game losing streaks happen, but this seems so much worse than that. It's cliche and easy to always play the "sky is falling" card, but as Dwight continues to truck through teammates one by one it soon will be not just Dwight Howard who is pining to see Dwight Howard playing in LA/Dallas/BK.

Aussie workers 'the most insecure'
- From: AAP
- December 05, 2012
- Aussie workers the most insecure in Asia-Pacific
- Thirty-three per cent feel more insecure than they did last year
- Beware online staff hunting
WORRIES about the future of the mining boom and concerns about the global economy has left Australian workers the most insecure about their jobs in the Asia-Pacific, a survey says.
A report from recruitment firm Randstad entitled "World of Work" found 33 per cent of local workers felt less secure in their job compared with a year ago.
It was the highest figure in the Asia-Pacific, ahead of countries such as Malaysia (21 per cent) and China (25 per cent). The figure was well above last year's result of 20 per cent.
Randstad operations director Steve Shepherd said the increase over the previous year reflected nervousness about the strength of the resources boom and uncertainty about the global economy.
"Over the last few months, there's been question marks over the robustness of the Australian economy with lots of the talk about the mining and resources sectors coming off the boil," Mr Shepherd said. "We are seeing a level of caution around that."
There was also an age divide present in the results, with 20 per cent of Generation Y workers reporting that they felt less secure than in 2011 compared with 39 per cent for more mature workers.
The report also found the proportion of respondents planning leave their job in the year ahead had increased to 59 per cent compared with 39 per cent in the 2011 survey.
Mr Shepherd said the willingness to move was most prevalent in the skilled trades where demand was greatest such as engineering, information technology and healthcare.
"The underlying factors of an ageing population and relatively low migration levels still create skills shortages across key areas .... and I don't think much has changed there," Mr Shepherd said.
The nation's unemployment rate was a seasonally adjusted 5.4 per cent in October, with the Australian Bureau of Statistics due report the November labour force data tomorrow.

As an engineer the demand for degree qualified engineers is extremely low. Secondly, the few advertised jobs within my field require people with extraordinary amount of experience and skills whilst offering a laughable low salary. Australia needs to wake up. Unions has crippled the manufacturing sector by raising labour costs so high, companies cannot complete globally. Also engineers who do the actual work are paid less thus making manufacturing less appealing. Lastly, the artificially inflated housing market due to Chinese ownership has made life for the average Australian extremely tough. Stop foreign land ownership Stop unions and bring the cost of [unskilled] labour down Do encourage manufacturing growth by offering proper incentives Do invest sustainable infrastructure for future generations.

Well explained Gary. The problem is, it is a mafiotic structure, which is difficult to break because of the big companies. The managers of the big companies got interest in the "real estate", pardon, "recruitment" agencies - family business. So the big companies always prefer to hire people using agencies. In some industries the companies even pay the salary of the candidates using the agency. The agency keeps % of the money. Difficult to break system, unfortunately.

If you listen to the World's greatest Treasurer, we are all in a workers Utopia, where there is low unemployment and life is just peachy, is it really? Maybe they should do a feature on the businesses which are closing rapidly and the jobs which are being exported. What's that saying about never allowing truth get in the way of a good story.........

'The Secret Circle' Recap: Lucky
Cassie is warming to having her father around, that is until she spies him searching for something in the abandoned house. Meanwhile, Lee is in a spot of bother when his ex-girlfriend, Eva, wakes up from her coma. Will he choose Eva over Faye? Here are the top five events you need to know from this week's 'Secret Circle', including: Diana's new Aussie lover, cursed stars and murder!
Father knows Best:
John Blackwell doesn't seem to be the evil genius that everyone expected him to be. In fact, he is just like any other overprotective dad who enjoys a heart to heart with his daughter whilst sipping away at a black coffee. Blackwell wants Cassie to stop practising with her dark magic as eventually it will be the one in control. The proud witch doesn't take her dad seriously though (who does?) and instead she shows off a quite impressive party trick, bending over her cup, using her dark magic.
When Cassie later visits the abandoned house (Blackwell's old home) she stumbles across her father scavenging around, even throwing over a table when the item he is looking for is clearly missing. Adam and Cassie go raiding in Nick's old house where Adam shows her an object called a 'sway' which Nick found in the abandoned house. Supposedly it is meant to drain witches of their powers. Sway in hand, Cassie confronts her father about his suspicious snooping and he admits that for a period of time the sway transfers a witches magic to a non-witch. This was the object used to give power to Eben sixteen years ago when he murdered the circles parents. So here's the question, who gave Eben a loan of their magic?
A Love Triangle Ends In Death:
Faye and Lee are blissfully happy until Eva wakes up. The comatose girl is obsessed with Lee and wants him back badly. However, since Lee has sparked a relationship with Faye, he does not feel the same way about Eva. When Faye turns up at Lee's he says he has other plans so he won't be able to escort her to the casino fundraiser at the school. Some inspirational advice from Melissa makes Faye not take no for an answer so she returns to Lee's, but Lee is not there, instead prowling around the voodoo garage is Eva. Awkward! Luckily, Eva believes Faye is just a customer and when Lee waltzes back he kisses Eva. Poor Faye!
Despite this, Lee does turn up to the fundraiser, but someone has been stalking him…Eva! The creepy fan-girl calls Faye a slut and tells Lee that he should dispose of Faye now that she is back in his life, however, his feeling towards Faye have advanced more than Eva expected. When Lee returns to his garage, Eva has been waiting for him and admits that she has developed powers! Lee confesses that he will help her get rid of her new magic, but he can't be in a relationship with her. A word of warning to guys with witchy ex-girlfriends: never make them angry or you might get killed (literally). Poor hot voodoo Lee is dead. How many more pretty boys are the 'Secret Circle' going to kill off?
Diana Hits The Jackpot:
Diana has been looking long eyed at Cassie and Adam for the past couple of weeks, but now it's her turn to see what's written in the stars, or, more appropriately, what's available down under. When Melissa and Diana are preparing for the casino fundraiser at The Boathouse a charming Aussie, named Grant, makes his move on Diana. He could easily fit the bill for a non-witch boyfriend, however, Diana doesn't seem too thrilled; she basically gives him the cold shoulder. Alas, Grant is not one to give up easily and he makes an appearance at the fundraiser, exchanging quite a lot of money for chips, which works as an excellent opportunity to show Diana his interest towards intellectual things like books (amongst other things). He exchanges 100 tickets for two cute monkeys and hands one over to Diana. Grant will be shipping out the next day so the pair don't have much time together, however, he hints that Chance Harbor now has a certain appeal which might force him to return. How could anyone resist such a romantic charmer? We don't blame you Diana for immediately going in for the kill! It's good to see Diana getting on well with a guy, but hopefully he doesn't end up being a witch hunter in disguise!
Cassie's Dark Magic Erupts:
Dawn is not that surprised to learn that Blackwell has risen from the dead. Instead of firing a million questions at him about what the hell happened sixteen years ago, she wants them to team up and look for power. If magic was awarded to those determined, Dawn would have enough power to light a whole nation! The two get a bit intimate and it seems Blackwell has turned up at the casino to track down Ethan: he believes it was him who betrayed the circle. When Dawn informs Cassie that her dad is wandering about looking for Ethan, Cassie's eyes do her wide scared giselle thing and she goes hunting for her dad. When she is stalking him outside a hooded figure appears out of the blue and stabs Blackwell in the stomach! Cassie chases after the attacker and whacks a bleacher bench at his legs. She rips off a piece of the bench and is about to beat the attacker with it, until it turns out to be Ethan. There is a flicker of hesitation, but she is still willing to hit him. Blackwell appears just in the nick of time and is able to calm her down. It seems daddy is right when he says not to let your dark magic take over!
Written In The stars Is A Big Fat Curse:
After a day of fall outs over dad dilemmas, Cassie and Adam have finally made it up. Love written in the stars is tough! However, it is bound to become much much tougher with Blackwell's dreaded news. Blackwell wants answers and so he corners Ethan in admitting that it was him who gave Eben power. The witch hunter was only meant to kill Blackwell though, not the rest of the circle. Blackwell realises that it can't be Ethan fuelling Eben with power now as he has no magic! Ethan explains that it was Amelia who wanted Blackwell dead. He continues that Cassie and Adam will be together because their destiny has been written in the stars. But Amelia forgot to inform Ethan of one tiny detail, one that Blackwell can't resist telling him now: the Blake's and the Conant's together are a curse. Dun dun dun! His point is proven when Cassie and Adam are getting hot and heavy at her house and hundreds of crows circle the roof.

By all accounts, the votes of young people are critical in today's Presidential election, and they are especially important in the crucial "battleground" state of Ohio, where not only the Presidency, but dozens of state and local candidates and issues that directly affect our lives are on the ballot.
The polling place for students registered to vote in Hiram is located at the Village Municipal Building, where the police and fire stations are located (on Route 82 toward Garrettsville, behind the Hiram Christian Church and their education building).
Students registered in Hiram have been given a utility bill from Hiram College to use as identification at the polls. This will significantly speed up the voting process for students and they will not need to vote provisionally.
From 11:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Election Day, there will be a free Election Day meal at the Hiram Christian Church. Everyone is welcome to come eat wonderful homemade soups, breads and desserts while talking with friends and catching up about the election.
Several RAs and campus groups are holding a Presidential election viewing program on Nov. 6th at 8:30 p.m. The community is invited to the KC Ballroom to do fun activities, play games, eat food and watch the results roll in.

Thoughts on Various Players-Receivers
Here's the next round of random thoughts, this time on wide receivers:
Roy Williams/Dallas Cowboys – He probably has more pressure on him than any other receiver in the NFL, but I doubt he'll be their top passing target. It still should be Jason Witten. The chemistry that he and Tony Romo have is about as good as it gets and it won't happen between Williams and Romo overnight.
Devin Thomas/Washington Redskins – You could call him the key to their improvement in the passing game. Santana Moss badly needs help from a big receiver on the other side. It likely won't be Malcolm Kelly who is coming from knee surgery. Thomas is a little raw, but has a lot of upside. If he does decently this season, the Redskin passing game could actually be pretty solid.
Devin Hester/Chicago Bears – We're pretty convinced with Jay Cutler throwing to him that Hester will have a really good season. I see no reason based on his improvement from last year that Hester won't be a solid #2 fantasy WR.
Percy Harvin/Minnesota Vikings – There's no player that I'm more interested in seeing that this guy. It will be interesting to see how they use him. [...]

I'm not sure where to get herpes test. Do I have to go to my doctor?
I don't really want to go to my doctor to get screened for herpes...are there other options for where to get a herpes test?
That's a great question, and I'm happy to provide information about your options for herpes testing. For starters, the answer to your question depends on whether you're currently experiencing a herpes outbreak.
During an outbreak that may be caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV), it's best to visit your doctor or other healthcare provider for a visual examination and a swab test (when a small sample is taken directly from an open sore, blister or bump). From there, your healthcare provider will be able to determine whether the outbreak is indeed caused by herpes...or another condition.
If you don't currently have an active (visible) outbreak, but you're concerned that you might have herpes, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommend the Herpes Simplex Virus Type-Specific HSV-1/2 IgG blood test. This test screens for both types of the herpes simplex virus, including HSV-1 (which commonly causes oral herpes) and HSV-2 (which is typically associated with genital herpes).
Where can you get a herpes test? When it comes to getting tested for herpes ⎼ whether a swab test or the HSV 1/2 IgG test ⎼ there are several options available to you. You can get tested for herpes at your regular doctor's office, at a local clinic, or through an online herpes testing service.
You can learn more about online herpes testing and when to get tested for herpes on our website.

TO: Community Members of Josephine County
Does the Plan Work for You?
Josephine County, OR — Josephine County is developing a Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan (NHMP) online, and we want your input. Two sections of the NHMP are now available for your review and comment.
To view the NHMP sections, visit http://csc.uoregon.edu/opdr/Josephine and click on the links provided under the "Plan Drafts" section.
You can submit questions and comments by e-mailing Oregon Emergency Management Specialist Emma Stocker, email@example.com. The public review period ends June 7, 2011, after which comments will be addressed and any improvements incorporated.
An NHMP provides communities with goals, actions, and resources to reduce the effects of potential natural disasters. The plan and the proposed mitigation actions therein are intended to limit damage to property and critical facilities and, consequently, reduce the costs of reconstruction and recovery. In addition, the plan increases our potential to receive state and federal funding for mitigation and recovery.
The planning process increases cooperation and communication within the community. This local process includes representatives from city government, local utility providers, the Interagency Fire Board, school districts and you.
This update of the NHMP is supported by the Oregon Partnership for Disaster Resilience, utilizing funds from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Pre-Disaster Mitigation Grant Program.

PALS Reading Workshops
Reading Workshop, High School
Time: 8:30 a.m. - 3 p.m.
Maximum enrollment: 50
Audience: Reading teachers, special educators, curriculum instruction specialists, school psychologists, teacher trainers, principals.
In this workshop, participants will learn to conduct peer-mediated reading instruction for high school students. They will learn to pair students and prepare them to work together constructively on strategic reading tasks that accelerate reading performance.
High School PALS relies on the same dyadic structure, and the same three activities (Partner Reading, Paragraph Shrinking, and Prediction Relay) as PALS for grades 2-6. There are, however, several important differences. First, the motivational system was modified for older students, focusing on a "work" theme. Instead of earning points as elementary students do, high schools students earn PALS "dollars" that are redeemed for tangible rewards. Additionally, while elementary PALS students use fictional readings, high school PALS students read expository text. Teachers are encouraged to select reading material that is perceived by students as useful, including informational texts about employment opportunities, life skills, and social relationships.
Unlike other versions of PALS that are intended to be primarily implemented in the inclusive general education setting, PALS for high school students has typically been used by special educators and remedial reading teachers for students with serious reading problems.
Participants are asked to purchase a high school manual that includes scripted lessons and materials needed to facilitate student training. The site will need to purchase these manuals separately. Please see "Ordering Materials" tab. The high school manual provides all necessary materials that will enable teachers to confidently implement PALS in their own classrooms.
Need more information about workshops?
For more information about PALS workshops and materials, contact Loulee Yen, Outreach Coordinator, at (615) 343-4782 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

STD rates in South Dakota on the rise
Karen Pettigrew with the Community Health Center South Dakota believes that using proper protection, abstaining from sexual activity or remaining in a monogomous relationship are all significant methods of reducing an individual's chance of contracting an STD.
"If they have not been using condoms all the time, if they don't have one steady sexual partner, then the risk is there," Pettigrew told the news outlet. "If you can contract chlamydia, then you can contract HIV."
According to The Star Herald, in addition to an influx of new people to the South Dakota population, many healthcare experts believe that there is an increasingly relaxed attitude around STDs. For instance, many of these diseases were curtailed in the 1980s during the height of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, but with improved treatment methods and retroviral medications, many individuals are taking a less cautious approach to their sexual health.
Ultimately, it will come down to public awareness campaigns, access to condoms and contraceptives and discretion on the part of sexually active individuals to help reduce the STD rate throughout South Dakota. Adjusting to these new realities will be difficult, but there are plenty of resources available throughout the state for those who wish to stay ahead of their sexual health needs.

Just the other day I told myself I wasn't going to eat ice cream again for the third night in a row because it was simply getting out of hand. I mean, I have to draw the line somewhere.
So, naturally, I made cupcakes for dessert instead.
I don't, however, like that baking typically yields a dozen goodies that, after consuming the majority of, my thighs are left to reckon with.
So, rather cleverly, I slimmed the original recipe way down until I had a nice little batter for two cupcakes.
Not twelve.
And in the end, the cupcake for two recipe served its purpose well.
One for me, and one for the hubs.
I made it vegan just for the heck of it. And also because grandma Dana has to watch her dairy intake. Waaah waaaaah.
adapted from food.com
1/4 cup soymilk (I used vanilla)
1/4 teaspoon lemon juice
1/4 cup AP flour
1 teaspooon cornstarch
1/8 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
pinch salt
2 tablespoons margarine or 1 tablespoon canola oil
2 tablespoons sugar
1/3 teaspoon vanilla
equal dashes almond and vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 350* and line muffin pan with paper liners. Whisk the soy milk and the lemon together and let sit a few minutes.
IF USING MARGARINE: Sift the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda and salt into a large bowl and mix. In a separate large bowl,use a handheld mixer at medium speed to cream the margarine and sugar for about 2 minutes until light and fluffy, but don't beat past 2 minutes. Beat in the vanilla and other extract, if using, alternate beating in the soy milk mixture and the dry ingredients, stopping to scrape the sides of the bowl a few times.
IF USING OIL: Beat together the soy milk mixture, oil, sugar, vanilla, and other extracts, if using, in a large bowl. Sift in the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda and salt and mix until no large lumps remain.
Fill cupcake liners 2/3 of the way and bake for 10-15 minutes until done. A toothpick will come out clean when ready. Transfer to a cooling rack and cool completely before frosting.
Then, frost away!
adapted from dairyfreecooking
1/4 – 1/3 cup earth balance (or other non-dairy margarine)
3/4 – cup confectioners' sugar
1/2 t. vanilla extract
splash of soy milk
In a mixing bowl using an electric hand mixer, cream the 'butter' until fluffy as best you can. Add the confectioners sugar gradually, beating at a low speed until well combined. Turn up the speed to medium high, add the remaining ingredients, and beat until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Scoop into a piping bag or plastic bag (which you can cut the corner off of) and chill slightly before using to frost the cupcakes.
Cakey, vanilla-y, sweet, lots of frosting. Everything a [vegan] cupcake should be, no?
Do try these, won't you? And if you do, don't forget the sprinkles.
They're kind of a big deal.
Such darling cupcakes! Love the frosting & sprinkles :)
So cute! I love the sprinkles.
..and the fact that you successfully made two cupcakes. When I slim down recipes, disaster awaits.
Those are so cute! I love the "for two" recipes, just enough to satisfy that sweet tooth!
wow, these seriously look PERFECT! I literally just slab some frosting on there, but yours is flawless! Totally makes me want a cupcake more than when I make them! And I love the blue color with the sprinkles :)
These looks beautiful and fabulous! I must try them:) I love that they are vegan because I've been lowering my dairy consumption also!
These look so great! I really need to trim down my dessert recipes to just a couple servings…I think my subconscious really wants me to make a ton so I can eat them all!
beautiful cupcakes!! And making just two is BRILLIANT…I'm the only one who likes sweets at this house, so my skinny jeans thank you.
On a side note, you did a great job photographing these little dudes. You could make some moolah in the food photography biz, I'd say.
so freakin cute!!! and awesome photography skills :)
PS- you've become one of my blogging role models haha .. might sound weird but i think you're pretty awesome/real
Sooo yummy hope you dont mind I stuck my finger in the frosting on the screen stole a little taste such a flavor burst, awsome job!! Then went and had some ice cream. to top off my behavior!
The cupcakes look DELICIOUS! Party on a plate….of course I would have to eat both because I'm eating for 2 : ) Great job sister!
Thanks for posting this! I also struggle with not wanting to bake something that yields WAY too much for little old me. I think my coworkers are beginning to despise me for always bring in goodies! :)
These look beautiful and delish!
Just looking at those cupcakes make me happy!!!
They remind me of a kid's birthday party!
This makes me really want a cupcake now!! Awesome pictures!!
those are freakin adorable!
You are so cute! I cant believe you maked and frosted 2 cupcakes.
these just blew my mind. sans frosting add choc chips = one happy girl.

Easy Eggplant Parmesan
Total Time
Prep 15 mins
Cook 40 mins
I love Eggplant Parm and this is one of the easiest and tastiest recipes I have ever found for it.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 large eggplant, peeled and cut into 1/3 inch slices
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 1⁄2 cups seasoned dry bread crumbs
- 1⁄4 cup olive oil
- 3 cups spaghetti sauce
- 1⁄2 lb shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1⁄3 cup grated parmesan cheese
- Arrange a layer of eggplant slices in a colander. Sprinkle generously with salt. Continue layering and salting all eggplant slices. Let stand 30 minutes. Rinse and pat dry. Dip each eggplant slice in beaten egg, and dredge with breadcrumbs.
- Heat oil in a heavy skillet. Over medium high heat fry eggplant in hot oil about 2 minutes per side until golden. Drain on absorbent paper.
- Preheat oven to temperature 350°F Arrange half the eggplant slices in the bottom of baking dish sprayed lightly with nonstick spray. Spread half the sauce over top. Sprinkle with half the mozzarella and half the Parmesan. Repeat layers.
- Bake 20-25 minutes or until mixture is bubbly.
Most Helpful
This is excellent. My children loved it. I could never get them to eat eggplant before and they asked for seconds. Thanks for the tip on sweating out the liquid from the eggplant. It really helps it fry up nicely and eliminates the bitterness that can be present in this veg. Per my kids' request, this will become a weekly staple!
This was very good and my family liked it very much. I used panko instead of regular breadcrumbs. I found that I needed way more than 1/4 cup olive oil to fry the eggplant, however, as eggplant is extremely absorbent. I had to keep adding oil as I fried. Otherwise everything worked out, but I discovered that it's easy but not quick. Must be my lack of experience :)
Thanks for this recipe. I am single and live alone. I love recipes like this that can easily be cut down so I don't have to eat it for 2 weeks. I love eggplant and can hardly wait to try it.

Music therapy profile: Erinn Frees
- Erinn Frees has worked at Children's for four years.
- We're celebrating Music Therapy Week, and today the spotlight shines on music therapist Erinn Frees.
- How long have you worked at Children's?
I've worked at Children's for four years, almost to the day!
What is a typical day like for you?
Usually, I start off my day by organizing the referrals we get (typically 40-50 per week) and trying to plan which floors I should go to at what time. Then I set sail with our wonderful new music therapy cart, which is filled with guitars, keyboards, drums, a harp and other percussion instruments. I then spend the rest of the day trying to see as many kids as I can get to, and work with them on physical, cognitive and emotional goals through music.
Do you have a favorite memory from working at Children's?
I have many favorite memories, but this one sticks out in my head: I was working with a young school-aged boy. We were singing, playing instruments and laughing when he suddenly looked up at me and asked, "So where do you work?" When I explained to him that what we were doing was my job, he said "No, that can't be right! At work you're supposed to be, like, really crabby and have lots of papers and stuff!" I'm very grateful to have a job I absolutely love!
How do you spend your time outside of work?
I love spending time with my new husband, trying to learn to golf, spending time with friends and family, playing flute with various concert bands and pit orchestras and trying new restaurants. Oh, and I really like cleaning – it's such a huge stress release!
What's one interesting fact about you?
The first "big" concert I ever went to was on my 6th birthday. My dad took me to see Bruce Springsteen, and our tickets were in the very last row. We started chatting with a guy who asked us, "Since it's her birthday, would you guys like some better seats?" He then led us up to the front row, center stage and we watched the concert from the best seats in the house. Bruce even gave me his guitar pick!

Kylie Jenner Flashes Bra, Shows Off Gun Tattoo
Reality star Kylie Jenner was snapped showing off the side of her red bra and a new tattoo of a gun on her ribcage - but don't worry, it's fake.
Makeup artist Nat Wood drew the handgun on Kylie's side for fun and posted an image on Instagram, writing, "just tatted tha lil bbgirl @kyliejenner #badwood."
Sister Kendall Jenner received a drawing of a skull on one of her fingers to match a shirt of hers. She told her Instagram followers, " don't worry, it ain't real people. creds to: @badwoodx #SharpieTat."
It isn't the first time Kendall had the temporary tattoo treatment from Nat Wood. Last February she showed off an ornate Native American skull that was drawn across her back.
Just practice for the permanent treatment, we guess.

The national spotlight that lit up Arizona when lawmakers passed SB1070 will be back sooner than some anticipated.
Sen. Russell Pearce and numerous out-of-state allies plan to unveil his birthright-citizenship bill during the first week of January in Washington, D.C. The model legislation will serve as a template for lawmakers in 14 states, including Arizona, which hope to force a U.S. Supreme Court case that would challenge the longstanding interpretation of the 14th Amendment and end the practice of granting automatic citizenship to children born on U.S. soil to illegal immigrant parents.
Daryl Metcalfe, a Pennsylvania state representative who is pushing the birthright-citizenship proposal in that state's Legislature, said the model legislation will give anti-illegal immigration lawmakers a rallying point for the war against birthright citizenship and show unity among members of State Legislators for Legal Immigration, which is what the group of lawmakers is calling itself.
"First we have to have the language formulated," said Metcalfe, a Republican from Cranberry Township, Penn. "Then you have the process of rolling that out to various legislators across the country that are interested in working on the rollout project and then bringing a number of us together to actually announce the final working product, the final language that's come out of our efforts."
The high-profile rollout likely will rile Arizona lawmakers and members of the state's business community who wanted birthright citizenship to take a back seat during the 2011 session, at least until the Legislature passes a budget and a jobs bill. Some lawmakers claimed Pearce pledged to put birthright citizenship on hiatus until those priorities were out of the way, though Pearce disputes the claims.
"I hope it doesn't distract Senator Pearce from what our primary objectives are this session, in terms of budget and economic," said incoming Sen. John McComish. "The first week of January (is) a very busy time for us."
Senate Democratic leader David Schapira said the press conference will be a distraction for lawmakers who should have higher priorities.
"It appears that the focus of the leadership of the Legislature is going to be on this issue instead of on economic develoment and job creation," he said. "I'm waiting to hear about Pearce's announcement of a press conference on economic development and job creation. That's a priority right now."
Pearce did not return messages seeking comment. But his stalwart ally in the House, Rep. John Kavanagh, said the unveiling wouldn't distract from the more immediate tasks of balancing the budget and putting the economy back on track.
"We'll file the bill early," Kavanagh said. "My understanding is we want to put the budget and the jobs bill to bed before we move on to this. But it will be this session."
Kavanagh, a Fountain Hills Republican, said the rollout will get some attention, but he doesn't expect it to last long.
"I guess you can get a day (of coverage), but that's hardly the 1070 tsunami," he said.

Those who win the National League Cy Young award this season have a hard act to follow.
Last season, Clayton Kershaw won the NL Cy Young on the strength of a season that saw him go 21-5 with a 2.28 ERA and a grand total of 248 strikeouts. He had competition, but Kershaw was the easy choice for the award.
So far this year, the Cy Young race in the National League is pretty wide open. Roughly 15 different pitchers have a legit shot at the award and narrowing down the favorite to win it is pretty difficult.
But that's exactly what we're here to do. In order, here are the top five contenders for the NL Cy Young award.

DEVELOPMENT WITHIN A LOW CARBON WORLD: Preparing Professionals for Post-Kyoto Climate Negotiations and Sustainable Growth Policies
LBJ School Overseas Course
Hiroshima, Japan
August 2009
This course prepares professionals for post-Kyoto climate negotiations. Its two components focus on the sustainable development issues associated with adoption of low-carbon-emissions technologies and policies in developing countries and on developing countries' negotiating strategies and participation in the global climate regime. The course is taught by UT faculty from the LBJ School and the School of Law along with a group of international experts and Japanese government officials. At the invitation of the Japanese government, a number of government officials from developing countries will join the UT students in the classroom.
Part I of the formal coursework (40 content hours) addresses basic climate and development issues including:
- Climate science
- Applied climate science
- Climate engineering
- Economics
- Law and policy associated with climate change
- The impact of climate mitigation on developing nations

Dr. Pepper Cake
Total Time
Prep 15 mins
Cook 30 mins
This is just a great cake that I learned about from a friend. It seems coke is used in a lot of recipes and also 7-up/Sprite. This is unique in that it uses Dr. Pepper.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 cup butter
- 1 cup Dr. Pepper cola
- 2 eggs
- 1⁄2 cup buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 4 tablespoons cocoa
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 2 cups flour
- 2 cups sugar
- 1⁄4 cup butter
- 3 tablespoons cocoa
- chopped nuts
- 1⁄4 cup Dr. Pepper cola
- 1 box powdered sugar
- Heat 1 Cup of butter and Dr Pepper.
- Add the cocoa, cinnamon, flour and sugar to the butter mixture.
- Mix the eggs, buttermilk, soda and vanilla and add to the rest of the mixture.
- Pour into prepared 8 or 9 inch pans.
- Bake 30 minutes at 350 degrees.
- DR PEPPER ICING Heat butter, Dr Pepper and cocoa stirring until well blended.
- Stir in remaining ingredients.
- Frost cake.

Very good recipe! I made 24 cupcakes. Since I am the only chocolate lover in my family, I left the cocoa out to make them vanilla Dr. Pepper cakes. I put 1/2t. vanilla and a splash of Grenadine in the icing - delicious!
I've been making this for years and love the uniqueness of it compared to coke/7-up cake. Believe it or not, the recipe I have also includes mini-marshmallows in the batter, just in case there wasn't enough sugar, lol. The frosting is very sweet and oftentimes I just sift powdered sugar over it or make half a recipe of the frosting, heat it and drizzle like a glaze to get a touch of extra flavor without the gooey sweetness. :o)
Made this cake yesterday and thought it was just okay. Would have given it maybe 3. But we tried it again today, and it tastes a lot better. Quite a lot better, in fact. The cake kind of solidified into a denser yet still moist cake. My hubby who absolutely detests Dr. Pepper and claims that he can taste it in the cake loved it. I guess this is one of those cakes that you just have to try for yourself. Didn't use all of the sugar called for in the frosting and I added a little vanilla. With a cooked frosting you just need to make sure you get it on the cake right away. The longer you wait the more difficult it is to spread. I liked the consistency of it after it set.

Twilight Stars Shine for PETA!
If, like us, you love The Twilight Saga, you're already all geared up for the latest serving of vampire mania, Breaking Dawn – Part 1, due to hit cinema screens this weekend.
Despite their characters' dead hearts, many of the smouldering Twilight stars have a warm heart for animals. The newest member to appear in a PETA ad is hunky werewolf Booboo Stewart (aka "Seth Clearwater").
Stewart wants you to know that buying an animal from a breeder or pet shop means killing the chances of animals who are currently in animal shelters and desperately needing homes.
Stewart joins the gorgeous Christian Serratos (aka "Angela Weber"), who has previously spoken out for seals and against the fur trade:
Then there's hottie Kellan Lutz (aka "Emmett Cullen"), whose message is "adopt, don't buy":
I a huge fan of Twilight… but, specifically, I'm Team Seth … <3 O.o (Even more specifically, the Queen of Team Seth X)). It's nice to know that some of my favourite people EVER are sticking up for animals. Thanks guys… ^__^

This product is great for so many things. We took it for B Hominis and seems to be working. It is NOT a quick cure, but it does work. I know it is good for many other things like Candida as well. We experienced NO digestive difficulties taking this long term. However, if you take it long term, you will need to supplement with probiotics as well.
love it

Kali, JKD, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
At age 7 I took my first Karate class. I wanted to take Karate because I watched my best friend Roy practice Karate in a dusty, hot tepee on an Indian reservation in Roosevelt, Utah. Training in a tepee appealed to me. I took one class and quit.
Seven years later, I took another Karate class in Logan, Utah. This time the karate instructor was a Kyokushinkai black belt named Del Griffith. Sensei Griffith learned karate in Hawaii and was one of Hawaii's top Kyokushinkai's black belts. And yet, I still didn't have the temperament or patience to train consistently. I took one class and quit.
But in 1985 I had matured and now truly desired to learn martial arts and I knew I still wanted to learn Karate. This time I contacted Del personally (Dad signed me up before) and he admitted me to study with him again. Learning from Del Griffith was like having a personal coach and mentor in addition to a martial arts instructor. Del was encouraging, patient and a wonderful teacher. Much of my teaching style has stemmed from Sensei Griffith's example to me.
I also trained during this time in two other arts: Chung Shing Kung Fu and Yang Tai Chi. I learned Kung Fu from Sifu David Jones and Tai Chi from Tiger. I don't remember Tiger's full name. He was a Ph.D student at Utah State University in physics and when he completed his doctorate he moved back to Taiwan. I haven't been able to find Tiger or David Jones for many years. Perhaps the future holds a serendipitous meeting.
I moved to Salt Lake City in 1990 and studied under a martial arts master named Dan Berry and subsequently received my black belt from him. Dan Berry taught a martial art called Bihonte. Bihonte was a fusion of five different arts. The arts that I focused on were Kali, JKD and Mokuraiken Kenpo. Dan received his JKD training under Michael Moore and Michael Moore received his certification directly under Dan Inosanto. Dan Berry in my opinion was not only a gifted martial artist but a great teacher. I would include Dan in that rare class of martial artist's whose contribution to the martial arts and the evolution of Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do is without peer.
In that same category I would also include a noted Jiu Jitsu master named Pedro Sauer. Pedro moved to Utah in 1992 and began teaching in Provo and Salt Lake City. Dan Berry was the person who introduced us to Professor Sauer. Pedro moved here just when the Ultimate Fighting Championship and Royce Gracie rocked the martial arts world with Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and "submission" techniques. Professor Sauer has left and indelible imprint within out community and throughout the world. Pedro is also a fantastic teacher and has the unique status of receiving a black belt under Rickson Gracie and the father of Gracie Jiu Jitsu, Professor Helio Gracie. I am currently a brown belt under Pedro Sauer and I love Jiu Jitsu. And ironically, Jiu Jitsu has ushered in the new phase of martial arts called, No Hold Barred fighting (NHB.)
I still study under Dan Berry and Pedro Sauer and believe I receive some of the best instruction in the world. However, that doesn't preclude me from still wanting to learn other arts and my focus is still to integrate techniques and approaches to my present knowledge to become a better martial artist and instructor.
Ultimately, the martial arts should help us to be better people. I am not personally studying in preparation for fighting but continue to practice to better myself and others through my learning. Hence, this brief biograhy is a dedication to all my instructors. I pay my sincerest respect and honor to Del Griffith, David Jones, Tiger, Dan Berry and Pedro Sauer. Thank you for sharing with me.

'Masters Of Sex' Star Lizzy Caplan Sizzles In The October GQ
Lizzy Caplan stars in Showtime's new series Masters Of Sex, about human sexuality researchers William Masters & Virginia Johnson. She also stars in a sexy new pictorial for the October issue of GQ Magazine.
Since the show focuses on sex research there's bound to be nudity -- but that's something Caplan, who's no stranger to stripping off -- didn't have any interest in discussing in her accompanying interview.
"I feel like I've answered that question a thousand times about nudity and being nude on set and how am I comfortable with that and what do I think about people on the street who have seen me do that," she says.

alright so this is the third time doing this question, obviously i'm missing something here. i seperated each section
a) −12 ln( tanx + secx )
b) ln( 6 tanx )
c) − 8 ln( secx)
to do the chain rule on each and then combined them again into my final equation, which is wrong.
i don't know how to format text on here so try to bear with the brackets (sorry)
here's my equation:
help please
Be careful separating it like that, trying to put it all back together and getting your signs correct might be tricky. I suggest just writing it out one step at a time but keeping it all together.
*I switched the order to get that negative out of the front:
From here, get a common denominator and combine like terms and then cancel. Can you take it from here?

PHILADELPHIA-- The first sign is a high-pitched screech that rises in intensity to what sounds like a super-sized chain saw. Then tiny motorcycles appear, weaving through traffic with their riders crouched perilously close to the pavement.
What just buzzed by was the latest summer rage: mini-motorcycles called "pocket bikes."
The little machines provide thrills for people who don't want to shell out big bucks for full-size motorcycles but find that mo-peds and scooters make them yawn. Pocket bikes typically sell for just $300 to $600.
But police across the country say the scale-model racers -- mostly Chinese imports whose tiny, two-stroke gasoline or electric engines can take them up to 35 mph or more -- cause trouble because riders are often reckless and don't obey the law.
"Fortunately, it hasn't reached the point where people are getting hurt. Not yet," said Philadelphia police Cpl. Jim Pauley.
In Philadelphia, the little bikes can be driven on private property but are banned on streets and sidewalks. When riders are stopped, their bikes can be confiscated -- and destroyed -- if they can't provide proof of ownership.
That's if they can be stopped.
Riding through North Philadelphia atop his pocket bike, 26-year-old Cesecil Oliver swerved in and out of traffic and down alleys, the tiny speedster barely visible underneath his 6-foot-1 frame.
"I'm going to give them a run for their money if they try to catch me," said Oliver, whose souped-up bike can exceed 45 mph. "You can get through tight spots. You can move faster. ... I'm going to swerve through anything."
Police say they try not to chase the bikes unless it's absolutely necessary because a pursuit could endanger a rider on such a small vehicle.
Last month in New York, a teenager on a pocket bike was killed when police tried to pull him over, authorities said.
"There is no policy that says chase, don't chase," said NYPD Detective Walter Burns. "In midtown Manhattan at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, you might not want to chase."
"We're not going to be chasing those little bikes through the streets with lights and sirens," said Pauley, the Philadelphia officer.
New York police ticket riders if their bikes are not insured or they are not licensed, Burns said. To qualify as a legal motor vehicle in New York state, bikes must have mirrors and lights and be registered.
Boston recently passed legislation that says pocket bikes can be ridden only by licensed drivers, who must wear a helmet and obey the rules of the road.
Boston residents had been complaining that the bikes were dangerous and too loud. "In every district, the community groups were screaming about them," said police Lt. Kevin Foley.
Pocket bikes are considered motorcycles under Arizona state law, but there is no way they could ever meet the necessary safety standards, said Phoenix Police Officer Terry Sills, the department's traffic complaint coordinator.
Phoenix police have been ticketing anyone riding pocket bikes on streets or sidewalks; Sills recently wrote a 14-year-old tickets totaling $2,000 in fines.
Edwin Schermety, 46, who owns Piloto Auto Sales in North Philadelphia, said he sells about 10 of the tiny bikes a week, surpassing car sales. "When they say, 'They're illegal, don't sell them,' that's when we don't sell them," he said.
Running Wolf Imports, a wholesaler based in Reno, Nev., reports selling 800 to 1,000 of the bikes a month. The company got into the business about a year ago and has built relationships with factories across China, co-founder Sean Garecht said.
Running Wolf Imports emphasizes safety and warns distributors the bikes are not street-legal, Garecht said.
But all fads eventually come to an end, Garecht said, and Running Wolf Imports is already eyeing the next big thing.
"We're slowly getting out of the pocket bike market," said Garecht, whose company is moving toward mini-motorcycles with more substantial four-stroke engines. "We are trying to stay ahead of the field."
