Korney D. Jerry, the owner of Downsouth Urban & Fashion, Inc., a clothing store located in Royal Palm Beach, Florida, has been arrested on charges that he stole more than $14,000 in sales tax he collected from customers, but failed to send in to the state, the Florida Department of Revenue announced today.
Mr. Jerry, 32, who lives in Riviera Beach, was arrested by the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office on March 21, 2013, on a felony charge relating to theft of state funds. If convicted, he faces up to 5 years in prison and up to $5,000 in fines, as well as possible payment of penalty and investigative costs. Downsouth Urban & Fashion is located at 6901 Okeechobee Boulevard.
According to Revenue Department investigators, Mr. Jerry collected tax from customers at his store. However, during various periods beginning in 2010, lasting through periods in 2011, he failed to send in to the state all of the sales taxes that were collected.
"It is an honor to serve the vast majority of Florida businesses who comply with State tax requirements," said Marshall Stranburg, Interim Executive Director, Florida Department of Revenue. "For those that don't, it is our job to enforce the law and ensure honest businesses are not placed at a competitive disadvantage by those who ignore the law or intentionally collect and steal taxpayer dollars."
If you have information about tax crimes, please call the Florida Department of Revenue Investigations office in Coral Springs at 954-346-2904.
Note: Due to the confidential nature of taxpayer records, generally the information found in this release is the only information available from the Department of Revenue concerning this matter. Other information may be available through the arresting agency and the local Clerk of Court.

The Photo Finish 5K: An Instant Rochester Classic
For those Rochester-area young professionals who enjoy giving back and supporting great causes, there is a new event this year that should definitely be on your to-do list: The George Eastman House Photo Finish 5K, this Saturday, October 1st, from 8-10am.
This run/walk is meant to embody the spirit of philanthropy that George Eastman held close to his heart. The concept is that every participant chooses their own charitable organization to raise money for. Over 60 charities are currently represented in the race, and over $165k has already been pledged. If you would like to help contribute to that number, I would greatly appreciate your contribution to NextGen Rochester, a charitable giving circle that is funded and entirely run by philanthropic young professionals here in the Roc.
Aside from the positive financial impact, the really exciting aspect of this event is the large gathering of passionate, community oriented people. If you are not busy Saturday morning, come down to East Ave, cheer on the participants, and talk to them about all the different charitable organizations that are making a positive impact in our community. I can't speak for all the other runners/walkers, but I for one will be happy to talk your ear off about NextGen!
For other fun ways to get involved in the Rochester community, jump on the Rochester Young Professionals website and get involved with one of our many Community Development or Volunteering events. To find out more about NextGen, check out the website or even email me directly at email@example.com with any and all questions you have, I'll be happy to answer them!

Hello all, I'm looking for advice on a mobile WFO. A little background: I'm starting a mobile wood fired operation in the Los Angeles area. My business plan is mostly together, I've got investors waiting, recipes, some experience, and I hope to trial launch this summer. I say trial because I don't plan to quit my "day job" until next year at the earliest.I am a DIYer, but I don't really have time to fabricate a trailer/oven setup in my time-frame, and I want something that is going to last and not cost me time in repairs/re-engineering. The setup I am looking at as the Concessionaire by Fire Within WFOs. I hear good things about the Forno Bravo oven, but I'm wondering about oven durability on the road. BTW the base model Concessionaire runs around $16k. Any other ideas? Any input is appreciated. link: http://mobilewoodfiredpizzaovens.com/mobile-pizza-ovens/wood-fire-oven-catalog/concessionaire/ Ken

The end section of the curve anchors a foot-long sheet of dark hair, interspersed with vibrant strips of red. The ends are feathered, conveying softness, in contrast to the clean, almost architectural, shape of the primary curve.

6 Luxury New Year's Eve Destinations Still Within Reach
SAN DIEGO (TheStreet) You can still spend New Year's dancing the night away in an opulent palace in a small town outside St. Petersburg, once home to Russian czars and Catherine the Great.
The 58-room Catherine Palace originated in 1717 and has been hosting lavish affairs for Russian royalty ever since. For New Year's Eve 2013 the palace party, known as the Czar's Ball, will include opera singers, ballet, choirs, ice sculptures, a lavish imperial dinner catered by French chefs and more.
"There is so much going on in terms of cultural entertainment. It's a total champagne and caviar type of affair for people who want to imagine what celebrations were like during the time of the czars," says Annie Lucas, vice president of MIR, which offers the opportunity as part of a 10-day Russia tour.
"The fact that the ball is held in this spectacular palace it's almost a bucket list type of thing," Lucas says. "This is for people who want to do something very different and also very traditional."
There is still time to book your tickets for the ball. MIR has slots available on its Dec. 29-Jan. 7 Russian tour, which costs $5,595. Tickets to the ball are an additional $1,895.
And not to worry if you don't have a ball gown at the ready. Lucas says helping guests get fitted with rented gowns and tuxes in St. Petersburg is easily done.

Warzycha On More Lineup Changes: 'Maybe'
The Columbus Dispatch - April 12, 2013 08:52 AM
I know the second half was better, but I'm still interested in what happened in the Crew's first half against Philadelphia and what was said afterward.
First, the decision to start Dominic Oduro instead of Jairo Arrieta at forward surprised me, and not because I don't think Oduro has been worthy of a spot. Head coach Robert Warzycha has two solid options up top, and he reiterated that point this week when I asked him what Arrieta needs to do to regain his starting spot.
"I said you can't go wrong with either guy," he said. "If he's going to be on the field, he's going to do his best and I'm sure if Dominic is on the field he's going to do his best but they are two different players."
It was also a topic covered in today's print article, which you can read by clicking here.
I didn't speak with Arrieta this week in training because we did talk to him through assistant coach and translator Ricardo Iribarren after the game. As we crowded around, Iribarren said something to the effect of, "I know what the first question is going to be. Don't ask it." From that and the way he responded, it was clear that Arrieta was not pleased with returning from national-team duty to find his spot in the lineup gone.
Wednesday, I asked Oduro what he felt he needed to do to maintain his spot at forward.
"Stay focused," he said. "I think I'm really motivated right now. The goal motivated me. I think I played okay. I just have to go out there and prove myself, whether it's a finishing drill, whether it's passing, whether it's trying to keep the ball, stuff like that. I've got to make it hard for the coaches to make that decision. It involves me being on the field and doing all the right things."
It likely helped that Oduro scored the tying goal for the Crew on a ridiculous blast from a tight angle that somehow was not up for goal of the week. I asked Warzycha what he thought of Oduro's performance.
"I think he scored a goal and he was busy," he said. "I think he had a very good chance to score a goal in the first half and he used his speed and if he would've hit the target it probably would've been a goal. The goalie was already in the other corner. We'll work on finishing and hopefully the next game he's going to be better."
It bears repeating that the two could remain in the lineup with Oduro back on the right side of the midfield. Oduro has made it clear that although his preference is to play forward, he is amenable to wherever the coaches opt to put him. The problem is that the coaches like what Ben Speas has done in the midfield, and if he and Eddie Gaven are both in the lineup then Oduro has to play up top.
It is possible that Oduro and Arrieta could team as forwards with Federico Higuain playing underneath the duo, but that would involve removing one of the Crew's two holding midfielders from the lineup. With Tyson Wahl and Josh Williams pushing forward as the outside backs, the result is an awful lot of ground for one player (Danny O'Rourke or Agustin Viana) to cover.
After the Philadelphia game, Warzycha said he felt some players were too comfortable in the starting lineup in the first half. The only personnel change made was to remove Viana for Arrieta, but Warzycha said that was a tactical change and not necessarily one based on lacking effort.
I asked Viana, who said he had not heard Warzycha's comments about players being too comfortable in the lineup, if it was tough to sit for half a match.
"First of all, I accept all of the coach's decisions," he said. "Everyone wants to play. I like playing and helping the team on the field, but it was a coach's decision. I must continue working hard and that's all. The only thing important here is not individual goals but team goals. The most important thing is for the Crew to earn three points and continue on the way."
This week of practice has not been any different, he said.
"For me, I work every practice and every time," Viana said. "I give all of me. We are always improving ourselves. We're getting better and knowing each teammate and the coach's ideas and the rest of MLS. I trust that every match I will play better, but we must be patient and trust in the team."
So will we see any significant changes to the lineup this weekend?
"Maybe," Warzycha said. "I think everybody has to watch the game and we talked about it. All the players saw each other on the field and what they did and we'll see."

Tuesday, February 7, 2012 - Badminton World Federation
Though Lin Dan was not one of the six finalists shortlisted for the prestigious 2012 Laureus World Sportsman of the Year award, the Chinese reigning Olympic and World Champion was invited to grace the event in London yesterday.
The 28-year-old was the only badminton player to take the red carpet along with big names in sports such as Lionel Messi, Usain Bolt and Novak Djokovic, who were amongst the final shortlist for the 2012 Sportsman of the Year award.
"Chinese athletes tend to see their participation in sports as a platform to bring glory to the country", said Lin. "I feel that this may not always be positive if our athletes are not able to manage this self-imposed expectation, then it can become an unnecessary burden to them, and they fail to bring out their usual level of performance during a competition."
"So for me, I've learnt not to focus on the outcome of the competition - be it the best or the worst case scenario I've learnt to manage either of it", Lin added, "but what is of most importance to me is to be highly discipline in my daily trainings so that I'll be able to peak and play the best badminton in July, August at the 2012 Olympic Games should I qualify."
"This is the fundamental expectation I have on myself right now", concluded the four-time World Champion.
Lin Dan also remarked that he was torn between choosing Lionel Messi and Novak Djokovic to lift the award but went with the tennis ace, who did eventually take home the crown in London.

Names of fireworks donors revealed
The names of the donors who will fund Fort Dodge's fireworks this year have been revealed.
Kevin and Karen Alstott, owners of C&S Products of Fort Dodge, were identified in a press release from the Greater Fort Dodge Growth Alliance Monday afternoon.
According to the release, the Alstotts contacted the Alliance about making a donation after reading reports Saturday that the fireworks display was to be canceled.
"Kevin and I thought it was important that Fort Dodge have a fireworks show for the holiday. We need to remember what the fourth of July is about," Karen Alstott said.
The Messenger reported on Saturday that the $13,000 to $14,000 needed to put on a show could not be raised this year.
On Sunday, Fort Dodge Mayor Matt Bemrich told The Messenger that an anonymous donor came forward with the requisite funds.
After they found out about the donation, city officials was busy organizing the fireworks and equipment and coordinating police and barricades for the event, fire safety and public works, according to Bemrich.
Fireworks will be provided by J&M Displays of Yarmouth.
"City staff did a great job coordinating what was needed on a Saturday afternoon," said Bemrich in the Monday press release. "Joe Gilbert was fantastic to get a commitment from J&M Displays to do a topnotch show on a short notice."
Gilbert, a Fort Dodge business owner, has led fundraising efforts for the city's fireworks displays since 2006.
The show will begin at dusk on Wednesday. The fireworks will be shot off from near the Des Moines River and visible from downtown.

So You Want to be a Trail Runner
Six tips to get you hooked on off-road running
My first trail run, along the Mesa Trail in Boulder, Colorado's Chataqua Park, was not what ...
Photo by Joe Bloggs
My first trail run, along the Mesa Trail in Boulder, Colorado's Chautauqua Park, was not what you would call poetry in motion. Donning bright yellow track shoes, I tore out, quickly rolled an ankle and limped home. I solicited advice from a trail-running friend, who, after a good laugh over my flimsy ribbon-paper shoes, furnished me with a simple gear list and said, "Listen to your body, eat right and run safely."
The following six tips will help make your first trail runs successful. As you feel more adventurous and your runs become longer and more challenging, quiz experienced trail comrades and learn from your mistakes.
Appreciate The Trail Advantage
Trail runners, preferring the rush of a swift river or the hush of mountain moonlight to the honk and roar of traffic, are attracted to off-road routes' natural settings. Not only mentally refreshing and de-stressing, trails are less physically punishing than their concrete counterparts.

service > About The Center > Our Philosophy
We believe that here at SLU, your service experiences should educate you in the same context. What did you do as part of your service? What impact did it have on you? Are you inspired to take greater action surrounding the issue or population served?
The Center recognizes that there are various forms of giving back to the community. It could be through Philanthropy, Volunteerism, or Service. It is important to note that the Center for Service and Community Engagement meets students, faculty, and staff where they are on this continuum - all are critical, and all play a vital role in helping to shape a better society. It is our mission to help guide people on their journeys of service, no matter where they might begin. But it is also important to distinguish the three:
PHILANTHROPY: This involves collecting and giving money to a designated group or organization, for short-term, long-term, or emergency needs. Special collections in churches, direct solicitations for funds, bake sales, carwashes, and any number of grant opportunities, all fall under this category. Concerned with providing physical resources, e.g., money, clothing, buildings, food, objects and real estate, philanthropists often have little or no direct contact with the people their generosity benefits. Clearly, though, while an important and valuable source of necessary resources for agencies and organizations, all over the world, philanthropy is not "service".
VOLUNTEERISM: Another worthy act of kindness, volunteering addresses, more often than not, a "one-shot" task to be completed, often an end-in-itself. Filing papers or other clerical work, building a house, clearing weeds, repairing broken items, or providing immediate, if short-term, help to organizations or agencies. Though generally motivated by charitable or humanistic values, these are optional, and only more or less essential. Volunteerism, per se, does not question values or the relative justice or injustice of a particular situation, nor does it necessarily seek to change or serve any but immediate and presenting needs. When a specific task is completed, more often than not, your work is finished. While a good and necessary resource for these organizations, volunteerism is not "service."
SERVICE: In Jesuit universities, the understanding of why we exist in the first place centers around an understanding of our purpose and our value, in and to the world. For St. Ignatius, our purpose and our goal derived from faith and nourished our faith. Community service, a means to an end, based on-and deriving from focused reflection, calls us to a longer-term commitment to issues, and a more personal investment than merely completing a task. This understanding of service calls us into relationships with the people with whom we work and serve, and from whom we also learn--it calls us into a broader community than we normally define as "my family, my university, my club, or team or organization or activity." Service, in this context, calls us to, and prepares us for, a larger life, not just a college life. It also extends to the interrelatedness, the connectedness, of each of us to all of us--as brothers and sisters in Christ, as the Body of Christ. As a result, at Jesuit universities, we focus on "service" as a part of "promoting the faith that seeks justice."
The end result of this contiuum, engaging in meaningful ongoing service WITH those around us, foster perhaps the most important and critical tenet of a Jesuit education...A Spirit of Solidarity.

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton addressed reporters after participating in the Libya Contact Group Meeting in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, on June 9, 2011. Secretary Clinton said, "...[T]oday's successful Contact Group meeting was a powerful statement that our coalition remains united and committed. We reaffirmed there is only one way forward for Libya, attacks against civilians must stop, Qadhafi must go, and the Libyan people deserve to determine their own future.
"We continued our ongoing dialogue about steps we can take to protect the Libyan people, pressure Qadhafi to hasten his departure, and lay the groundwork for a successful transition to a unified, democratic, Libya. On each of these goals, we are making progress and we have increased the pressure on Qadhafi. But as long as he continues his attacks on his own people, our military mission to protect them will continue.
"We are pleased that NATO extended the mandate of Operation Unified Protector for another 90 days. We have stepped up the pace of our strikes and added British and French attack helicopters to our arsenal. With coalition backing, the people of Misrata have expelled Qadhafi's forces from their city and they are bravely standing against those forces which, unfortunately, are renewing an assault.
"We are escalating the political, diplomatic, and financial pressure on Qadhafi, and his isolation is deepening. The list of former officials who have now abandoned him is growing. He's lost two foreign ministers, an interior minister, ambassadors to the United States and UN, an oil minister, and five generals, and just this week his labor minister defected as well. The prosecutor for the International Criminal Court has sought arrest warrants for Qadhafi, his son Saif, and the intelligence chief Senussi. And we've again begun to see brave protestors taking to the streets of Tripoli.
"We have very good reason to believe that time is on our side, so long as we sustain the pressure. Since our last Contact Group meeting in Rome, Russia and many others have joined the chorus of nations working to achieve Qadhafi's departure from power. We recognize the important role that the African Union and African states are playing, and we are consulting closely with them and welcome the recent statements from South Africa, Gabon, Mauritania, and others. The old tactics of divide and rule that Qadhafi mastered in Libya will not work with the international community.
"Our support for Libya's Transitional National Council is also deepening. The United States views the Transitional National Council as the legitimate interlocutor for the Libyan people during this interim period. We expect to see Libyans coming together to plan their own future and a permanent, inclusive, constitutional system that will protect the rights of all Libyans. This is in stark contrast to the Qadhafi regime, which has lost all legitimacy to rule. The TNC is the institution through which we are engaging the Libyan people alongside our work with civil society.
"We are all working to put the TNC on firmer financial footing. We've taken steps in the United States to license oil sales by the TNC, and we're pleased that an American company was able to make a purchase, which was delivered yesterday. To help the TNC secure credit, we embrace the idea that a future Libyan government should honor any financial obligations that the TNC assumes on behalf of the Libyan people. We welcome today's announcement that the temporary financial mechanism has been activated for this purpose. Already, Kuwait announced it will transfer about $180 million, and Qatar will transfer 100 million through this mechanism. We are also continuing to provide non-lethal supplies and working to deepen all of our relationships.
"Finally, we will continue to work to ensure that humanitarian assistance reaches the Libyan people, including those who have fled the violence into neighboring countries. And yesterday, a group of bipartisan United States senators announced they had agreed on a framework to use Libyan assets frozen by the United States to provide humanitarian aid to the Libyan people, and we look forward to the Congress passing that legislation so we can begin to implement it.
"And also today, we announced $26.5 million of new funds to help all victims of this conflict, bringing the American total to nearly $81 million.
"We're optimistic also about the Libyan information exchange mechanism, which will serve as a clearinghouse to match in-kind contributions of non-lethal assistance with the most urgent needs of the TNC. We welcome Italy's announcement that the mechanism is now in operation.
"This is a moment to reaffirm our commitment to our common purpose and continue our progress together, and that is exactly what we did today in Abu Dhabi. Libya is not, however, the only country in the region in the midst of extraordinary changes, and I took the opportunity today to consult closely with a number of our partners on the full range of regional challenges. We spoke about how more we can pull together to support the historic transitions underway in Tunisia and Egypt, which remain critical priorities for the United States. Our European and regional partners are sustaining their focus on supporting Tunisians and Egyptians.
"We also talked about the rapidly evolving situation in Yemen. We continue to urge all sides to honor the ceasefire, and we support an immediate, orderly, and peaceful transition consistent with Yemen's constitution. Violence is not the way forward, and Yemen's instability is a challenge for us all. The Yemeni people need a government that addresses their needs and aspirations.
"And finally, we discussed ways to support the Syrian people and sharpen the choices facing the Asad regime. Syrians took to the streets to demonstrate peacefully for a government that respects their rights, reflects their aspirations, and is accountable. What they have received instead has shocked not only Syrians but people around the world. We are working with our partners in the international community to bring an end to the violence and to support political and economic reforms. President Asad may try to delay the changes underway in Syria, but he cannot reverse them.
"This is a remarkable and very busy time. In each of these and other countries, there is simply no going back to the way things were, and yet the full story of each of these transitions remains to be written. All of us are humbled by the risks and the rewards of this moment. A great deal of hard work lies ahead and we must get it right. So speaking for the United States, we will continue to work closely with our partners to help the people of Libya and throughout the entire region navigate this season of change and arrive at a better future destination."

Palgye in South Korea writes:
Libya-very good story to world peace and mankind. next Syria? i so think, no, need, for syria citizen vitims, yes, died for democracy, freedom and capitalism for Syria. A lot of people unarmed, armed with AK47 and think tanks have died. Cruel and painful, rather than helped by the army, the Syrian people themselves now, with the help of an army to the Middle East's many problems can be resolved a lot of people will think that. But I always feel the democratic right of citizens by blood and sacrifice is thought to be completed. If you help me, they'll have gratitude for even one second to think.

Office of the Press Secretary
For Immediate Release June 10, 2011 Statement by the Press Secretary on Continued Violence in Syria
The United States strongly condemns the Syrian government's outrageous use of violence across Syria today and particularly in the northwestern region. There must be an immediate end to the brutality and violence. We regret the loss of life and extend our condolences to all those who have suffered. Earlier this week, we urged the Syrian government to exercise maximum restraint and not to respond to its own reported losses through additional civilian casualties. The Syrian government is leading Syria on a dangerous path. For that reason, it is critical that all Syrians remain united, work to prevent sectarian conflict, and pursue their aspirations peacefully. We stand by the Syrian people who have shown their courage in demanding dignity and the transition to democracy that they deserve.
Syrian security forces continue to shoot, assault, and arrest demonstrators and political prisoners remain detained. It's this kind of appalling violence that leads the United States to support a UN Security Council Resolution condemning the Syrian government's actions and calling for an immediate halt to the violence and abuse of basic human rights.
Palgye in South Korea writes:
At this time - the interest you, but - the money from my bank account without my permission, let people transfer - if not your fault - Korea Exchange Bank, a joint venture between the government and think. Or at least think there is South Korea's acquiescence. Wondering why you think, I try to do something, you will always feel I'm under way, the Republic of Korea from any organization, moving to their infrastructure, I do not see any relationship to the organization by moving,
It`s hard for a small amount of the donation.
Eric in New Mexico writes:
It remains unclear to me as to why the Obama administration would seek to start a distracting debate within congress on the nature of the war powers act, rather than simply working with congress to get their authorization for humanitarian intervention when the whole of the international community is on board with it and taking part.
I mean we got bugets to balance, debt to erase, and a lot of other teeny-weenie domestic issues (one less after a resignation, but...) and I'm wondering why the President wants to pick a fight with congress over something so stupid...let's just drop a rock on Ghaddafi's head and be done with the S.O.B. already!
America always eventually manages to get things right and /or do the right thing, but why , oh why, do we try everything else first?
Thanks for considering this quandry.

Margaret Hoelzer of King Aquatic Club set the world record in the 200m back with a time of 2:06.09, three-tenths ahead of the former mark held by Zimbabwe's Kirsty Coventry.
A little later, Weber-Gale broke the American record in the 50m free in 21.47. Then in the semifinals of the women's 50m free, the American record fell twice, once in the first heat at the hands of Trojan Swim Club's Jessica Hardy (24.48), and then once again in the second heat at the hands of Coral Springs Swim Club's Dara Torres (24.38).
In between those swims, Michael Phelps of Club Wolverine recorded his fifth win of the meet in the men's 100m butterfly in 50.89, while Hoff took her fifth win in the women's 800m freestyle in a meet record time of 8:20.81.
Those swimmers, plus second-place finishers Elizabeth Beisel (200m back), Ian Crocker (100m fly), Kate Ziegler (800m free) and Ben Wildman-Tobriner (50m free), were named to the U.S. Olympic Team in their respective events Saturday.
A number of other swimmers were added to the Olympic Team based on their efforts earlier in the week. Those swimmers included: David Walters of Longhorn Aquatics (4x200m free relay); Erik Vendt of Club Wolverine (4x200m free relay); Kim Vandenberg of Team Bruin (4x200m free relay); Christine Marshall of Aggie Swim Club (4x200m free relay); Wildman-Tobriner of Stanford Swimming (4x100m free relay) and Emily Silver of California Aquatics (4x100m free relay).
Recapping finals, Longhorn Aquatics' Hayley McGregory took an early lead in the women's 200m back and was out about a half second ahead of world-record pace at the 50- and 100m marks.
Hoelzer caught up with McGregory off the second turn and took the lead as she headed into the third length. She was about a half-second ahead of world-record pace at the 150-meter mark and built a body-length lead on the field as she swam for home.
"This is my first world record," Hoelzer said. "It's a wonderful surprise. I'm in awe and amazed. I'm happy to be where I am right now.
"I wanted to be close at the 100 and wanted to go out with Hayley, and be in front of Elizabeth at the end. I don't know how you can't be excited with an event like this."
Beisel, of Bluefish Swim Club touched second in 2:06.92, which was under the former American record of 2:07.16 held by Hoelzer. Beisel also qualified for the Olympic Team earlier in the week in the women's 400m IM.
"It's pretty cool being the rookie," said Beisel, who, at 15, is the youngest member of this year's Olympic Team. "There are so many veterans (on the team) that will hopefully help me out with nerves and stuff."
A familiar scene played out in the men's 100m butterfly, with Ian Crocker jumping out to a half-second lead over Phelps in the first 50, and Phelps using his skills off the turn to propel himself to the front of the pack with Crocker for the race down the homestretch.
Phelps pulled away with about 35 meters to go and cruised to the win. Crocker was second in 51.62.
The two have been the world's fastest swimmers in this event since the 2003 World Championships in Barcelona, where Crocker first set the world record.
"My goal was just to make my third Olympic Team," Crocker said. "I'm relieved to take that deep breath now and go on to Beijing."
Phelps also won the men's 400m IM, 200m free, 200m fly and 200m IM earlier in the week.
"I'm only halfway done," Phelps said. "It's a week of competition that's come to a close, and now we have a month to prepare for the Olympics. Hopefully we can come back in another month and prove the U.S. is the best team in the world."
In the women's 800m free, Hoff and defending world champion Kate Ziegler were stroke-for-stroke for the first half of the race, when Hoff took a slight lead. Hoff steadily built her margin on Ziegler each length after that and touched about four and a half seconds ahead at the finish. Ziegler was second in 8:25.38.
Hoff's meet record bested the 20-year-old mark of 8:23.59 set in 1988 by Olympic legend Janet Evans. In addition to her win in the 800 Saturday, Hoff also won the 400m IM, 400m free, 200m free and 200m IM earlier in the week.
"I've learned that I can handle it," Hoff said of her event schedule. "It's definitely challenging, both mentally and physically, but having done it once now gives me the confidence to do it again."
The men's 50m free marked Weber-Gale's second win of the meet after winning the men's 100m free Thursday, also in American record time.
Weber-Gale faced the top three Americans of all time - Cullen Jones, Ben Wildman-Tobriner and Gary Hall - in Saturday night's finals of the 50. His swim not only made him the fastest American ever, but also the fourth-fastest of all time in this event and the fourth-fastest time in the world this year. Wildman Tobriner finished second in 21.65.
"I knew if I came in here and swam my best times, I'd be in the ballgame to finish in the top two spots,' Weber-Gale said. "It's great to come in here and win both (the 50 and 100 free) and keep my confidence high going into Beijing."
Today's events will be the finals of the women's 50m free and the men's 1500m free. Be sure to catch all the action live on NBC, beginning at 7 p.m. CT.

Training Tips from the Leadville Podium - Page 6
What's your favorite Leadville memory?
Dylan: Cresting the final hill on 6th Street and seeing the finish line in the distance. Your crew will see you coming and their cheers will carry you the last half mile to the finish line. There is no feeling quite like it! Also, on Sunday morning, watching the final finishers is truly a special. There is so much emotion and such a supportive energy in the air as everyone rehashes their experiences. It's impossible to explain but it's something that I'll always remember and cherish. I get the chills just thinking about it.
Ashley A: Oh, man. …. The feeling of knowing I was going to finish 100 miles, that my family and friends were there, that I'd spend the day running and that I'd pushed myself to places I didn't know existed. I'm really excited to push those boundaries farther this year.
Neal: Experiencing the race and Leadville culture with family. The intensity at the start; the sunrise climbing the front side of Sugar Loaf; summiting Hope Pass outbound; the awards ceremony.
Liza: There was a huge crowd of people at the outward-bound Fish Hatchery aid station. My name had gotten passed around and it seemed like everyone was cheering it as I ran in. I felt like a famous basketball player. (I realize basketball players don't run into outdoor aid stations, but at the time that people were yelling, I distinctly remember thinking, 'Wow, I'm like some famous basketball player.' So, chalk the analogy up to the long miles.)
Duncan: Without question, my favorite memory is crossing the finish line in 2010 victorious! My brother had come to Leadville (from New York) to help crew me and ran the last half mile with me. I was so psyched to share that moment with him because he was the guy who introduced me to endurance sports!
Nick: Seeing my kids at Twin Lakes coming home, and then running through Twin Lakes. The atmosphere was electric.
Tina: Apart from crossing the finish line in 2012, experiencing it with my crew and pacers, and the crazy sh*t I said to my pacers. It's still something we laugh about today!
Zeke: Hailing from Aspen, just over the hill from Twin Lakes, I have always been greeted by a giant posse of friends and family at Twin Lakes. It is a huge emotional boost and turning point in the race for me. My sister snapped a photo of me and my wife Molly from behind. Every time I look at those photos I am transported back to those moments and filled with gratitude for the people who love and support me.
Ryan: The race has such an awesome vibe and the local people are so supportive. Seeing the finish line after running 100 miles was really nice.
Read on for a few last key pointers ...

Photos: Kids Rejoice as National Zoo Reopens
A day after most furloughed federal employees went back to work, the Smithsonian's National Zoo is open to visitors again after being closed for nearly three weeks.
The zoo opened its gates Friday morning, and Zoo director Dennis Kelly greeted visitors at the main gate.
The zoo's popular pandacam went back online Thursday. While giant panda Mei Xiang and her unnamed, 8-week-old female cub are still not on public display, zoo visitors can see the cub's father, Tian Tian. The cub's eyes have opened, and she can scoot around on her front legs.
The zoo is offering a 10% discount on food and merchandise through Sunday.
Earlier, a photo posted by a parent that went viral on reddit and Twitter was one of the iconic photos of the shutdown. As the boy's mom explained in a Washington Post article, "a father took his son out for a walk in the neighborhood and sent a funny snapshot to his wife, and she put it up on Instagram, and someone else put it up on Facebook, and someone else put it up on Reddit, and within a matter of hours, bam, there was the toddler on the NBC Nightly News."

Below are more photos from the Zoo Friday from wire services and as posted on Twitter. Also, see a gallery of additional photos of Washington being reopened after a 16-day shutdown.

The Quetzal, reputed to be the most beautiful bird that exists in the American continents, belongs to the Trogan family. The iridescent color of its plumage appears green or blue, according to the changes of daytime light. In [Guatemala], it lives in the mountainous, subtropical, humid regions of the departments of Quiche, the Verapazes, Huehuetenango, San Marcos, and Suchitepequez. The vegetation of the territory it inhabits is quite dense and rich in humus. In this habitat, the Quetzal searches for an old tree trunk situated in a tiny forest clearing to make its nest. There, in February through April, the hen lays one or two eggs. Both the hen and cock take turns during the 18-day period of incubation. The male Quetzal enters the nest, always leaving his beautiful tail plumes outside so as not to injure them. The female doesn't have this problem, for her tail feathers are very short. After the birth of the nestlings, their parents feed them with worms, insects, and larvae. The adults will eat forest fruits. The young can fly 20 days after birth, and abandon the nest to cut freely through the skies of [Guatemala]. If the Quetzal is confined to a cage, it dies. The Quetzal cannot live in captivity. For this reason, it is the emblem of our liberty. (Published by the Guatemalan Banco Industrial, Maslow, p. 22-23).
In the 1940s, Dr. Alexander Skutch wrote a life history of the Quetzal, based on long years of careful observation. He describes the Quetzal as follows:
The male is a supremely lovely bird; the most beautiful, all things considered, that I have ever seen. He owes his beauty to the intensity and arresting contrast of his coloration, the resplendent sheen and glitter of his plumage, the elegance of his ornamentation; the symmetry of his form, and the noble dignity of his carriage. His whole head and upper plumage, foreneck. and chest are an intense glittering green. His lower breast,belly, and under tail coverts are of the richest crimson...The dark, central feathers of the tail are entirely concealed by the greatly elongated upper tail coverts, which are golden green with blue or violent iridescence, and have loose, soft barbs. The two median and longest of these coverts are longer than the entire body of the bird, and extend far beyond the tip of the tail, which is of normal length. Loose and slender, they cross each other above the end of the tail, and thence diverging gradually, form a long, gracefully curving train which hangs below the bird while he perches upright on a branch and ripple gaily behind him as he flies. The outer tail feathers are pure white and contrast with the crimson belly as he flies overhead. To complete the splendor of his attire, reflections of blue and violent play over the glittering metallic plumage of back and head, when viewed in favorable light (Maslow p. 49-50).
This famous bird has a long history, as it was the spiritual protector of the Mayan chiefs. It is said that the Quetzal would accompany them everywhere, aiding them in battle, and dying when they died. Legend has it that when Spanish Conquistado Pedro de Alvarado and his Spaniards attacked the Mayans in 1524, the Quetzal appeared crying out and pecking at Alvarado.
At the exact moment when Alvarado pierced Tecum Uman [the chief], the sacred Quetzal fell silent and plummeted to earth, covering the body of the regal [Mayan] with its long and soft green plumes. After keeping a deathwatch through the night, the bird that rose from the cacique's [chieftan's] lifeless body was transformed. It was no longer the pure green of jade. Its breast had soaked up the blood of the fallen warrior, and so, too, became crimson, the shade of Mayan blood, as it has remained to this day (Maslow, p.19).
The Mayans proved just as unlucky as their chief; 30,000 of them succumbed to the superior firepower of the Spaniards. The Spanish had horses whereas the Mayans were on foot. Therefore, the Spaniards could easily chase down the Mayans, and without any guns the Mayans did not stand a chance. Their population was decimated. Alvaredo would become known as the founder of Guatemala. But the legend of the defeat of Tecum Uman and the sacrifice of the Quetzal at Quetzaltenango (place of the Quetzal) would not be forgotten.
In the province of Vera Paz they punish with death him who killed the bird with the rich plumes because it is not found in other places, and these feathers were things of great value because they used them as money (Maslow, p. 159)
The Quetzal plumes were used as items of trade and were traded as far north as New Mexico and as far south as the Andes. Because of their value as money and for trading purposes it was forbidden by the Mayans to kill a Quetzal. Once the conquistadors were in power the ban was not enforced. Killing of the birds became such a problem that hunting of the Quetzal was outlawed in 1895 by presidential decree:
Considering that the hunting of the Quetzal in distinct parts of the nation where this beautiful bird reproduces...threatens to completely destroy the species, which would be extremely regrettable not only for their peculiar beauty of the aforementioned bird, but also because it symbolizes the liberty of the fatherland, the President of the Republic absolutely prohibits the hunting of the Quetzal under penalty of six pesos, of six months in prison (Maslow, p. 224).
This decree did not prove successful, however, and in 1895, a second decree was issued. This was due in part, to the exploitatin of the Mayans. As part of a Liberal revolution, the Mayans were violently pulled off of their traditional milpa plots, where they grew maize, and turned into virtual slaves on the large coffee plantations. Raising maize on one's milpa was a sacred Mayan duty, for labor was a form of worship and growing maize on a milpa, the Mayans believed, was what kept the sun up. Therefore, to be separated from the milpa, was to be separated from the self, and outside of Mayan culture. Many Mayans fled this exploitive system to live "under the trees, under the vines." They resisted being pulled off of their traditional milpas and fled to nearly inaccessable elevated rain forests, known as cloud forests. The refugees began burning the cloud forests to clear land to raise their own milpas. This was very detrimental to the Quetzals. They were suddenly threatened with habitat loss in an area that had rarely seen humans before and now their very lives were in jeopardy because Quetzals skins brought good money to European traders and many Mayans began to hunt Quetzals to sell them out of greed or desperation. The overall effects have been disasterous. Recent experiments have shown that as the rain forests are cut down, the mean temperature of Guatemala has risen. This change in temperature has an adverse effect on the fruits of the Lauraciae family, such as avocados, which the Quetzals eat. These fruits require high elevation, cool temperatures, and lots of moisture, which is why they flourished in the cloud forests. Now that the cloud forests are shrinking and more and more humans are moving into a once uninhabited area, the Quetzal is rapidly losing its ephereal habitat. Without protected habitat, the Guatemalan Resplendent Quetzal is doomed to extinction.
May 7, 1998
Although the Quetzal ranges throughout Central America, each country enacts and enforces laws pertaining to its conservation individually. Thus, the bird is nearly extinct in Guatemala, which does not enforce the few laws it has, while at the same time the promotion of national parks in Costs Rica has contributed to the protection of Quetzals there.

a. Geographic Domain: North America
b. Geographic Site: Southern North America
c. Geographic Impact: Guatemala
In the case of the Costa Rican Quetzals, creating national parks had indirectly lead to protection of the Quetzels' habitat, thereby slowing their rate of extinction. Direct laws, such as fines for hunting Quetzels (which do exist in Guatemala) have not been successful.
a. Directly Related to Product: Yes (Food)
b. Indirectly Related to Product: No
c. Not Related to Product: No
d. Related to Process: Yes (Species Loss Air)
Eco-tourism in Costa Rica has been so successful that it has replaced banana exports as the largest source of hard cash for the Costa Ricans. Revenue from tourism is estimated to climb to $1 billion in the next year. Much of that money comes from visitors to the 28 parks and reserves in Costa Rica such as Monteverde, who come specifically to see endangered and exotic species like the Quetzal. Approximately one million people per year visit the reserves in the hopes of spying Quetzals, and they pay as much as $21.00 per person in entrance fees. That amounts to $21 million dollars spent in search of the elusive Quetzal. Although it is difficult to determine how many Quetzals are actually left due to the inaccessiblity of their habitats (most bird books list the populations as undetermined or unknown), a bird expert at the National Zoo estimates that the population is in the "thousands." Therefore, if there are 1000 Quetzals left in Costa Rica, that amounts to $21,000 per Quetzal. Due to their endangered status, it is presumed that few Quetzal's exist in Guatemala so the Guatemalan quetzals would be worth even more than their protected Costa Rican cousins.
There is a great demand for the exotic feathers of the Quetzal among collectors. Many of the birds lost their feathers and their life at the hands of desperate Mayan peasants who sell the feathers to wealthy North American and European collectors.
Name: Pharomachrus mocinno mocinno(Northern Quetzal)
Type: Bird
Urgency (Years to Extinction): 2+ years
Lifetime of species (years): 3-10 years
It was precisely the violent and oppressive manipulation of the peasants in Guatemala that drove them from their traditional plots to tend to the state-sponsored coffee plantations. The state wanted to consolidate the peasants into large plantations that grew coffee as a cash crop. The peasants, violently driven from their homes, were beaten, tortured, and killed if they resisted and became virtual slaves to the plantation owners. Many peasants escaped to higher ground, slashing and burning the cloud forests and formerly fallow land on the sides of the mountains to farm their milpas. The sudden explosion in population exacerbated the deforestation that was already occurring, thereby severely threatening the habitat and food source of the Quetzal. The Guatemalan government has not recognized that the rights of the peasants are directly related to the survival of the Quetzal, the national bird of Guatemala.

How does Chip and Pin work?
Chip and Pin is a method of paying for items in a secure manner. It makes accessing your credit card details and using your card extremely difficult for a criminal and will provide you with more confidence when purchasing items with your credit card.
Usually, you would receive a till receipt after you have purchased your item which needs to be signed for with your signature. If a criminal managed to steal your card, they would be able to use it by forging your signature, but the bill for the card would still come to you and have to be paid for by you. Chip and PIN prevents this from happening as there is no signing involved. Your card is inserted into a Chip and PIN machine, the price that you are about to pay is displayed on the screen, then you key in your own personal 4 digit pin number and the transaction is completed.
Chip and PIN was introduced after the amount of credit card fraud rose. In 2003, �400 million worth of credit card fraud occurred in the UK. Since the revolutionary introduction of Chip and PIN cards, credit card fraud has reduced by 13%. The microchip inside the card cannot be copied as well, meaning there is no way you can make a replica of a card to steal it. These figures prove that Chip and PIN has been a success so far at preventing credit card fraud.

As USA Defends Gold Korea Hopes to Make History at IPC Sledge Hockey World Championships
Two teams with two different stories will play each other for the gold medal at the 2012 International Paralympic Committee (IPC) Ice Sledge Hockey World Championships.
The puck drops at 16:00 (CEST) in Hamar, Norway. USA, the reigning world and Paralympic champions, will take on Korea, a team that has never won a single world or Paralympic medal.
USA looks to maintain its dominance on the ice, having medaled at the last three World Championships.
Its front line of Brad Emmerson (Amherst, N.Y.), Adam Page (Lancaster, N.Y.) and Alexi Salamone (Grand Island, N.Y.) have been on the U.S. team for more than five years. The three forwards have provided the veteran skills needed to lead its squad deep into the tournament, which began on March 24.
But Taylor Lipsett (Richardson, Texas) and Taylor Chace (Hampton Falls, N.H.) have also played crucial roles in lifting the team to a 2-1record round-robin play. So far, they have combined for six goals and six assists.
USA's only loss came against the Czech Republic in a 2-1 shootout, which set up the showdown against Canada in the semi-finals.
The U.S.– Canada matchup wasn't expected to happen until the finals, and the U.S. hung on for the 2-1 win.
"We bring it all the way when it counts – all the guts," team captain Chace said in an IPC interview after the win against Canada. "We're trying to defend our title, and we did that (on Thursday against Canada). But it's not over yet; this is just one win, one hockey game."
Goalie Steve Cash (Overland, Mo.) has also stepped up for the U.S. and leads the tournament goalkeepers with a 95.3 save percentage.
"We know it's not over," Cash said in an IPC interview. "We've still got a game on Sunday to play, and that's where it's going to really count."
Korea is looking to build its program for 2018, when it hosts the Winter Games in Pyeongchang.
A team that finished seventh at last year's worlds, Korea shocked the tournament when it defeated the Czech Republic, 2-0, to advance to the gold-medal game.
Its lone loss was to Canada in its second round-robin contest.
The last time the U.S. played Korea was in the 2010 Winter Games, and the U.S. won 5-0 in the preliminary round.
"It doesn't matter," Chace said of the last time the two teams met. "It's a 0-0 game when the puck drops. … They're smart. They're in good condition. I think the biggest thing is they play as a team."
