One safe bet at Cincinnati casino? Some will cheat

CINCINNATI (AP) — One of the safest bets at a new casino set to open in Cincinnati this spring is that cheaters will be among the gamblers, targeting dealers who have only dealt cards in a training room.
But there also will be hundreds of surveillance cameras, pit bosses with years of experience at other casinos, and about a dozen agents with the Ohio Casino Control Commission — all working to spot and stop people from cheating the house, and indirectly, the state.
Horseshoe Casino Cincinnati, a gleaming, $400 million property right off busy Interstate 71 in the city's downtown, will be the last of four voter-approved casinos to open in the state all in less than 12 months. Casinos in Cleveland, Toledo and Columbus opened starting in May.
Since then, the state has charged more than 60 people with cheating, or about 10 each month since the first casino opened in Cleveland, said Karen Huey, the commission's director of enforcement.
"I was struck by the level of cheating that came in," Huey said. "It was so immediate. People came in and from the first few days were trying to steal and cheat."
Ten people were charged this past week with cheating at the Columbus [auth] casino, which opened in October. Authorities allege that each one, acting separately and on their own, cheated the casino mostly by either adding or removing chips from their bets after they knew whether they'd won, known as capping and skimming. They all face up to a year in prison and a $2,500 fine.
Though the cheaters surely will come once Cincinnati's casino opens, management is doing all it can to teach future dealers how to spot them.
This past week, dozens of potential dealers gathered in a room cordoned off from construction at the casino to learn the right way to shuffle, get in the habit of clapping their hands and turning their palms up every time they leave the table and eyeing each person's bet before dealing the cards — all in an effort to root out stealing among players and the dealers themselves.
"There are some people who are very good at cheating," said Steven Mitchell, the lead supervisor training blackjack dealers and a future pit boss at the casino. "And if you're doing all the procedures right, those people tend to not come to your table. If you have someone getting lax on the procedures, you're giving them that opportunity and they will take advantage."
Among the most difficult thing to teach dealers, Mitchell said, is how to properly shuffle, which includes keeping two sets of cards mostly flat on the table, barely lifting a corner of each stack away from the players and pushing them tightly together.
At one table at dealer training, 60-year-old Sophia Hargrave of Cincinnati struggled with the lesson, either losing her grip on the cards, bending them too much or exposing them to them to the wrong side of the table.
Her trainer, Charles Zascavage, told her to keep her patience and keep working at it.
"This usually gets everybody," Zascavage said before explaining why getting it right is so important.
Doing it the wrong way "exposes too many cards to players," he said. "There are people that dedicate themselves to reading those cards and figuring out where they're at. It becomes part of their betting strategy."
In all, the casino will hire 750 dealers, none of whom can have even a single charge of theft in their background, even if it's a misdemeanor, or any felonies whatsoever. Those who have large debts they aren't paying off also will be out.
Of the 4,040 people who had sought dealer licenses with the state through the middle of November, 79 were denied or disqualified for various reasons, according to the commission. That amounts to about 2 percent.
No matter how stringent the requirements, stealing from casinos among dealers will happen, said Jim Edwards, a former senior agent at the Nevada State Gaming Control Board who now trains agents across the country, including in Ohio, to catch cheaters.
In Nevada, Edwards said more than 40 percent of people arrested for cheating are dealers.
In one infamous case, a high-stakes dealer at a Lake Tahoe casino pleaded guilty in 2004 to grand theft for using her position to steal $500 chips from Harrah's Stateline casino over a four-year period. Authorities said she was able to steal more than $800,000 before getting caught.
Since Ohio's casinos opened, one dealer has been charged with stealing. Ryan Straker, 27, has been charged with aggravated theft and having criminal tools after authorities say he was slipping chips into a wristband while dealing at the Cleveland casino.
The September indictment against Straker says he stole between $1,000 and $7,500 over an unknown period of time.
Straker did not respond to a message for comment, and court records show he does not have an attorney.
Edwards said dealers don't necessarily set out to steal, but that they have so many opportunities that some find it impossible to resist.
"People working in a casino are no more honest or dishonest than someone working at a supermarket or a department store or any other kind of business," he said. "A lot of times this is someone who just fell victim to a lapse in judgment and a hint of greed."
In 2009, Ohio voters approved putting casinos in the state's four largest cities to allow the state to collect 33 percent in gross revenue taxes, money that goes to the state's counties, school districts, the four casino cities, the casino commission and programs for problem gamblers.
"When you're stealing from a casino, you're stealing from the state of Ohio," Huey said. "We take it very seriously. We want people to know we're they're and we're watching, and they should come and play and have fun, but don't come and cheat."

Welcome to Golden Goals - a FREE video series on USA.Arsenal.com which showcases some of the finest goals in Arsenal's history.
Each of our weekly clips will feature footage of a classic goal plus expert analysis from former Gunner Stewart Robson and Arsenal.com editor Richard Clarke.
Our series continues with Carlos Vela's chip against Sheffield United in 2008.
Read on for the story of his goal and click the PLAY button above to watch our FREE video clip.
vela v Sheffield United (H) 09-23-2008
Making his first start for the Club, the Mexican forward was one of 13 teenagers to play in the Carling Cup against Sheffield United in September 2008. The average age of the squad was 19 – the youngest ever side to represent Arsenal.
Before the game some questioned whether the squad had enough experience to trouble an established Championship side.
By half-time the questioned changed to 'just how many goals will these teenagers score today?'
Just four minutes into the second half Arsenal held a three-goal lead when Kieran Gibbs lofted a pass down the left flank. Vela controlled the ball with his shoulder and after a quick flick with his left foot the only man defending him, Blades captain Chris Morgan, was completely out of the play.
If that was impressive, the finish was even better. Vela raced in on goal and confidently chipped the ball over the head of Sheffield United keeper Paddy Kenny for his second goal of the night.
And in storybook fashion, he completed his hat-trick in the 86th minute.

Read my review - 5/5 stars
We learnt this to our detriment recently, trying to sightsee amongst the teeming throngs of weekend French families. We set off first to see Monet's garden, not all that far from Paris and unfortunately this proximity to Paris means it is an ideal spot to take the International day trippers to. It is beautiful however and we had glorious sunshine to walk around the gardens and lily ponds then tick it off the list of "Unforgettable Things to See".
Using back roads, we set a course for the cities of Le Havre (to see the city that was rebuilt in a unique way after being almost completely destroyed in WW2) and Caen (to see the city which was integral to WW2 battles). The roads were just so busy and it became a very stressful day. Towards the end of the day we arrived at the World War 2 famous beaches and traffic became bumper to bumper as holiday beachgoers mixed in with tourists
A very strong wind was with us most of the following day but the sun came out and we visited the memorials and bunkers and learnt about the D Day invasion of Normandy. Tourist numbers and roads were finally managable.
Footnote: Le Havre, the City Rebuilt by Auguste Perret is UNESCO World Heritage listed, Monets Garden features in the book Unforgettable Places to See before you die.

Just before reaching the park, we stopped to look at the tallest lighthouse in Canada. We were going to have a look in, but the $2 entry fee only got you in the grounds, they wanted another $7 each for a guided tour. So we took photos from outside the fence and carried on into the park. We paid our $7.80 each entrance fee and had a look in the Interpretive Centre and then walked round the board walk. After that we got back in the van and drove down to Cap-Bon-Ami view point to look at the amazing tiled limestone cliffs. From there we could have done a 2.2km walk to a tower, but as it was nearly 300 metres uphill we decided that this view would do. We then drove round to the south side of the park to walk 8km (round trip on a gentle gravel path) to Cap Gaspe to look at the light house and view from there. Once at the top we were surprised to see two porcupines snuffling around in the grass for food not bothered by anyone. The ones we'd seen before were only to eager to puff out their spines and climb a tree to safety. After that we walked back to the van and drove on to Gaspe stopping off at Fort Penouille to look at the guns.

We decided to go back to Hollywood and the walk of fame as the girls were keen. On the way we thought we might drop into Rodeo Drive. How good the Sat Nav, just punch it in. If you can drive on the wrong side of the road and car with crazy blokes in F350s on steroids crossing 8 lane freeway interchanges it's a piece of cake.
No F350s on Rodeo drive though, Ferarris, Porsches, Mustangs, Mercs, Audis, Bentleys, Rolls and Bugatis the norm. Prada, Cartier, Chanel, LV, blah, blah.... Wouldn't let the girls linger long enough to buy anything though. Keep saying "you'll have to carry it for 5 weeks, save up for Honkers".
Off to Mann's Chinese Theatre and the walk of Fame
Back to the car, Nana gets a gong for not finding the car door handle (it's half way up the window on the Jeep Compass). See the Viper Room and Whisky a Go Go on Sunset Strip. Drive through Beverly Hills and Bel Air on the way back to Santa Monica, Gregory Peck's house, Striesand, Rod Stewart, Frankie's old place and a few other (we couldn't read the map very well).
Out to dinner at Lula's Mexican on Main St Santa Monica. Great food and all the girls had Margueritas (non alc for Soph & Belle). David the Magician has the girls spellbound at the table for two shows just for us (checkout "David at Lula" on Facebook). This place also has 230 types of Tequila on site with about 40 on rotation in the bar at a time.
Last night in LA.

A heavy metal/punk band with experimental ties. Formed around the nucleus of David Chitty on lead guitar, Jason Mumford on rythm and vocals, Ashley Hoop on Drums and Matty Banks on Bass, this hard rocking band found great succes with early covers of songs such as I Will Survive, Sunshine Of Your Love and Were Going To Bonnie Doon. Their first album, Cakes and Winnips hit number one and their next album, The Plight Of Gregory Pecks Flames In Acting Delight In Our Grevious Mourning, went triple big selling muthafucka of an album. After that they died. ALL OF THEM
True, Konkey Dong rocked but i think that Indifferent Decision where much better.

I suppose one of the most popular--or traditional, anyway--here in the US is a cheddar cheese sauce. Make a bechemel and add grated sharp cheddar to melt in off heat. Pour over cooked broccoli.

I think here it would typically be served with a hollandaise, but I think it covers up to much of the actual vegetable. I like my broccoli without sauce to be honest: get the whole flavor straight up

I like to quickly cook it then toss in a cheese and wholegrain mustard sauce, sprinkle with more cheese and bake until just golden and bubbling. It's like cauliflower cheese, but not.

SANTA CRUZ -- Headset-maker Plantronics is making staff changes that affect 41 employees in Santa Cruz, including layoffs in engineering, vice president of global communications Genevieve Haldeman said Friday.
"The majority of those impacted were in operations or back office roles, although there were a handful in engineering," she said.
The operations roles are being moved to Plantronics' existing facility in Mexico, which has about 2,000 employees, she added.
About 550 people work in the Santa Cruz office.
Employees got the news as Plantronics made an appearance at the Consumer Electronics Show, the world's largest consumer technology trade show, which wrapped up Friday in Las Vegas.
Plantronics' Voyager Legend headset, Blackwire 720 headset, Calisto 620 speakerphone, M55 headset and Find MyHeadset application were named International CES Innovations 2013 Honorees.

Although the Patriots offense was ranked no 1, their defense was ranked no 4 and the Giants defense was lower than them. Eli did not play against scrubs, plus considering everything on the line for the Patriots, I'd say it was a ballsy game from Eli and I am not sure why people were expecting it to be a blowout. The Patriots were great both sides of the ball in 2007. The most that defense gave up was in the last week of the regular season when Eli went toe to toe with Tom Brady and scored 35 points against them. By the way, the last time we lost the Super Bowl, Ray Lewis was the MVP.
If I can summarize Ernie Accorsi's scouting report about Eli in one word, that word is CLUTCH. We traded for Eli so he'd bring us a Super Bowl, and he got us TWO with 2 different sets of receivers. The second set of receivers were homegrown, pretty much unknown until 2011. We went to two super bowls with mostly home grown talents and rookies and beat the best teams out there with 16-0 and 15-1 records. Although consistency may be nice, I want someone who can bring home the trophy given half a chance. Otherwise, Tony Romo I believe has better stats and one postseason win and Alex Smith barely throws interceptions if he throws at all.

How much are Mid-Missouri lawmakers accepting in gifts each year?
Missouri's General Assembly has been referred to as the million dollar legislature.
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. - Missouri's General Assembly has been referred to as the million dollar legislature.
When it comes to lawmakers' ability to accept gifts from lobbyists, Missouri is in a game of no-limit political poker.
There is no law prohibiting or even limiting lobbyist gifts to our state legislators.
It is illegal for an office holder to accept a gift as part of an arrangement to vote a certain way.
However, when it comes to the wining and dining and other swag offered to public servants in Jefferson City, the sky's the limit.
2013 was a very good year if you were a lawmaker in the Show-Me state because lobbyists showed our public servants nearly a million dollars in political patronization.
It wasn't in cash, but instead came in the form of tickets to major sporting events including the Cardinals, Royals, Rams, and Chiefs games.
There is plenty of Mizzou pride, too. Many lawmakers accepted tickets to MU football games - and complimentary parking.
We have some live music fans in the assembly, as well.
Lobbyists accepted tickets to many concerts including Lady Gaga and Bon Jovi, gifts supporters of ethics reform call "Bad Medicine!"
Missouri Rep. John Wright (D-Rocheport) said, "I don't think legislators who represent the public and represent our state ought to be taking gifts from individuals who are in the official business of influencing legislation."
The most common gift to our state legislators is food and drink. In fact, in one night and in one meal our lawmakers feasted at the high-end Columbia steak house C.C. City Broiler.
The tab at the end of the night? $4,827.11! If the lobbyist had spent that nearly 5-grand elsewhere, let's say instead of C.C. Broiler at CiCi's Pizza, all 197 members of the general
assembly could have bellied-up to the pizza buffet 25 times each!
"A 5-thousand dollar dinner at CC Broiler's for the Utilities' Committee. This is the committee that's charged with helping to oversee the rates that utilities are permitted to charge Missouri families every month," said Wright.
In the state Senate, KiKi Curls topped the list of gifts from lobbyists. The Kansas City-area Democrat raked in more than $7,000 in freebies, not including the swag received for serving on her 17 committees and panels - including the very powerful Appropriations Committee.
ABC 17 News headed directly to her office to ask her whether or not she thinks this could affect her integrity as a lawmaker.
She wasn't available for an on-camera interview. She also never returned my e-mail with the same question.
On the Republican side, Senator Brian Munzlinger topped the lobbyist list of senators representing Mid-Missouri with almost $2,900 in gifts.
ABC 17 took the ethics question to his office in the Capitol and he agreed to sit down and visit with us.
We asked about the possible perception of being "bought" by lobbyists.
"Anything can be perceived. I mean I've gone to dinner with lobbyists and the next day they wanted me to vote for something and I had to look 'em in the eye and tell them no,
it's not what I believe in. You know where we're at right now, we have full disclosure. It's full transparency as to where it comes from. I don't really have a problem with people
knowing what's going on down here. And, that's where we've been for quite a while," said Munzlinger.
That transparency is online at the Missouri Ethics Commission's webpage. You can check on how much influence lobbyists have on your public servant. For example, we'll take a look at Republican Senator Mike Kehoe of Jefferson City. In all of 2013, Senator Kehoe accepted zero dollars in gifts, independently.
"There are a number of lawmakers who - like me - have personal policies against accepting lobbyist gifts. I think the problem is not that we don't have good people. I have a lot of respect for my colleagues in the Missouri Legislature. I have a lot of respect for a lot of lobbyists," said Wright.
Representative John Wright has signed the Missouri Gift Ban Pledge.
He's joined by his fellow Democrat State Senator Scott Sifton from the St. Louis area - as the only two incumbent Missouri lawmakers to pledge not to accept any gifts from lobbyists.
ABC 17 asked Senator Munzlinger why he hasn't signed the gift ban pledge.
"Well, I haven't been asked, but I wouldn't intend to because you'd be held to a different standard than everybody else, I guess," said Munzlinger.
Rep. Wright says the blame shouldn't fall entirely on the lawmakers nor the lobbyists.
"I think we have good people but good people who are operating in a bad system. I think we could make the system better by implementing an absolute ban on lobbyists gifts like a number of other states have done."
Last year, Rep. Wright co-sponsored House Bill 139 which would have limited lobbyist gifts to lawmakers, but the legislative clock ran out in that effort.
He said he'll re-introduce another measure to reform a system that he feels is flawed.

Chris Brown's ex-girlfriend thinks it would be "too much" to discuss her love triangle face-to-face with Rihanna.
The Turn Up The Music singer's former flame Karrueche Tran - who he has recently been spotted hanging out with again despite rekindling his on-again/off-again romance with the 24-year-old Stay singer - has admitted she would only sit down to discuss their mutual feelings for Brown if she was forced to.
Asked what it would be like to sit down with Rihanna, Tran told Vibe magazine: "For everybody, emotionally, that would just be way too much. I'm a very mature person so if the time ever did come where we would need to sit down and talk, I'd do it. I'm a mature person. I can work it out but that would be a lot. (Pause) Yeah, it would be a lot."
Tran's comments come just days after she was spotted partying in the same nightclub in Los Angeles as her love rival.
Brown was not present at the venue but his relationship with his model-ex has attracted fresh speculation recently after she joined him at his clothing line launch in Long Beach while Rihanna was enjoying a short trip to Ireland.
Photographs have hit the internet of Tran at the event, attempting to blend into the background while Brown poses with fans.
While Brown wasn't in Ireland with Rihanna, he spent New Year's Day in bed with her.
The singer also spent Christmas Day with Brown and they were spotted snuggling while watching the Los Angeles Lakers in action at the Staples Centre.

After only three films, Rian Johnson has established himself
as a rising auteur. "Brick" (2006) raised some eyebrows with its crafty
combination of high school movie and film noir. "The Brothers Bloom" (2009) dazzled
many but disappointed some with its non-stop convoluting of the caper film. But the movie that truly
establishes him is his latest, "Looper."

Within a year the success of these wines was being noted. In 1975, the "Burgundy" won the first competition trophy for Matua Valley at the Royal Easter Show. A less publicized triumph was the impression the Sauvignon Blanc had made amongst the other winemakers, leading to the decision to include large quantities of this variety in the first vineyards to be planted in the now famous Marlborough region. In 1976 a new company, Matua Valley Wines Ltd was formed in partnership with another Auckland family, the Margans.
The new foundation allowed Matua Valley to put down more substantial roots, and in 1977, 25 hectares of land was purchased in the beautiful green Waikoukou Valley, 35 kilometers west of Auckland. A new winery was built on the crest of a low ridge overlooking the valley, and the first steps made towards landscaping gardens and establishing a visitors' center were made.

Labor Day: One last splash of summer fun
KINGSPORT, Tenn. - Labor Day marks the unofficial end of summer, and on the Monday holiday many were trying to get in one last day of summer fun.
Wrapping up a Labor Day weekend with a family bike ride, Andrew Jebasingh and his family are giving Kingsport's Greenbelt a try. "It is nice to be able to actually go out and do something instead of being cooped up in the house all the time," adds Jebasingh.
But the cloudy, overcast, sometimes-rainy Labor Day weekend was a pretty fitting end to an overall wet summer. "We do a lot of travel softball and it's been a little bit rainy almost every weekend, so we've been fighting to get our games in. We've been out there doing what we could in the parks when we got a chance," says Greg Maroukas.
Even with dark clouds looming Monday afternoon, some were getting in one last splash of summer. "I think from a family perspective with us coming out here and doing this bike ride, I think it's a nice tie-in to do one last big family event outdoors while we still can," adds Jebasingh.
Others opted to head indoors to area malls for some Labor Day weekend sales. Store owner Karen O'Neal says Mother Nature has been good for her business. "It means money, so we enjoy to see any type of rain, snow, sleet. That usually brings in a crowd," adds O'Neal.
Even though the calendar says summer's here for a few more weeks, many people are already moving onto fall.
According to the Storm Track 5 meteorologists the region saw 20.5 inches of rain in June, July and August. An average summer sees about 12 inches of rain.

Preparing for a New Sibling
Bringing a new baby home is one of the most exciting times for parents and grandparents. 9 months of planning and anticipation finally pays off when the new addition arrives safe and sound. However, there may be one person who isn't quite sure what all the fuss is about and what having a new child in the family is going to mean for them. The sibling.
A new brother or sister may be thrilling to most of the family members, but a new baby who is getting all the attention can seem overwhelming to the first child, especially for very young siblings. Their very sense of security can feel threatened, leaving them feeling angry and acting out. So, before the little bundle of joy arrives, it's a good idea to prepare the older child for big changes ahead.
You can do that as early as when mom starts showing. Introduce the idea that mommy is pregnant. Being pregnant means that mom & dad are going to have another child, and that means a little brother or sister is going to be part of the family.
One good tip is to have a calendar on hand and circle the date when the baby is due. Have the older child start marking the days as they go by.
If you have a very young child you can say the baby will arrive in the summer, when the weather gets hot.Or in the fall, when all the leaves start to fall. Give them something they can identify with if they are too young to understand dates.
Once that's established, ask them if they have any questions about having a little brother or sister. Children may be so surprised that they don't have anything to ask right away. But as time goes on, they will have plenty of questions. Give answers that are age appropriate in a language that is easy to understand. Keep your answers simple but inclusive of how a new baby may affect their life. An example might be the baby will cry and may wake you up at night for a while. That's normal behavior for a new baby. We'll all be tired for a little while, but it will get better.
You can also bring out pictures or videos of when they were babies. Children love to hear stories about when they were little. Explain how much you loved them then and now. This little exercise in closeness can also help them understand the importance of babies and what a baby can bring to the family.
As the due date gets closer, try and keep everything as routine as possible. Avoid big transitions such as potty training, changing to a big girl or boy bed, getting rid of the pacifier or binky or anything that may separate the older sibling from the family. If the sibling must undergo some of these changes, start as early as possible so that they don't make a negative association between these changes and the baby.
One unavoidable change that might occur is that mom will be away for a few days when the baby is born. Prepare your child for your absence during the birth of the new baby (how long you will be gone, where your child will stay). If your child is going to stay with someone else for a few days, do a couple of practice stay-overs so they will see that you will come back and bring them home.
For toddlers, you might also consider role-playing with dolls. Let them use the doll to ask questions or talk about their fears or excitement about the baby.
Once the baby is born allow the sibling to come to the hospital and see the baby and that mom is ok. A cute tip is to have a gift from the new baby for the sibling.
Once baby is home, suppress any negative comparisons such as you cried a lot more, or he or she is a lot calmer than you were.
Other things to keep in mind are:
- Don't be alarmed if siblings don't express an interest in the new baby. Sibling relationships have a lifetime to develop.
- Accept that some regression may occur; this is normal. Baby your big-boy/girl for a while, if that's what he/she seems to need.
- Remind visitors to pay attention to your older kids and monitor gift-giving. It can be upsetting for sibling to see all of the presents that the newborn receives, especially when people don''t bring something for them.
- Try not to blame the baby for your new limitations (Mommy can't play with you now because I have to feed the baby or Mommy needs to change the baby, so you need to read to yourself). Blaming new babies for decreased time spent with you can breed sibling resentment. Instead, involve siblings in child-care as helpers.
- Create opportunities for older siblings to be participants and not competitors (e.g., getting a diaper ready, reading the baby a story, pushing the carriage).
- Remind siblings of the things they can do because they are older (e.g., eating food, playing with toys, going to the playground).
- Remember to give siblings private time with you and reinforce the idea that many of the things they are able to help out with (e.g., errand running, meal preparation, etc.), are because of their advanced abilities.
While you are busy with a new baby, developmental changes are still going on with your older child. Kids that are two or under may have difficulty with a new addition because they still have strong needs as well. Stress in the family can make the sibling's adjustment more difficult. So remember to stay calm when you're with the children.
One more thing to be aware of is how rough a sibling may be with a new baby. They really don't understand how delicate the baby is and have to learn what kind of playing or interaction is too rough. They may also hug a little to hard. You'll have to guide them in the correct gentle behaviors. Focus on your older child's positive behaviors towards the new baby such as I like how you gently kiss your little brother or sister.
Having a new baby in the family is difficult, but don't despair. The first few months will be an adjustment for everyone. But before you know it, the new baby will feel like he or she has always been a part of the family.

Thieves who target Craigslist users strike again
3rd robbery occurred Saturday evening
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Thieves who have used Craigslist posts to lure their victims into vulnerable places struck again Saturday.
Colorado Springs police were called to the 800 block of Chapman Drive around 5:30 p.m. A man told them that he had been told to come to the address to buy a cell phone. The man told police that as he talked to one man through the door another man came from behind and attacked him.
The two men took the victim's wallet and cell phone before running out of the building.
The victim told police that he had been hit in the back of the head with a pistol. He said both suspects as black men. One man is light skinned, about 5 foot 8 inches tall with a thin build. The other man is dark skinned, about 5 foot 11 inches tall, and also thin. Both were described as either teenagers or in their early to mid-20s.
This is the third time a robbery like this has been reported. All three have been on Chapman Drive, near Fountain Boulevard and Murray Road. The last robbery happened Aug. 6 when a man went to the area to sell an item after being contacted through the website. That man said he was robbed at gunpoint. Another robbery was reported two days earlier.
The Colorado Springs Police Department recommends that any personal transactions with unknown persons be conducted in public locations for the safety of the persons conducting the transactions. Public locations may also provide witnesses or surveillance evidence helpful for police investigations.

Personnel issues to be tackled in series of meetings
The Crosslake City Council made several personnel decisions Monday, Feb. 11, including the decision to have three public meetings to decide on the city's direction.
The personnel committee will meet at 8:30 a.m. Thursday, Feb. 14, to develop a new flow chart for city personnel organization. The committee will also discuss other personnel matters.
Mayor Darrell Schneider pointed out that much of the meeting is public.
Council member Steve Roe suggested that the discussions of personnel matters regarding the direction of the city happen at a full council meeting. Roe suggested that the council "conduct three meetings with citizen input planning where we want to take this city in its governance."
Schneider suggested making the personnel committee a committee of the whole, meaning a committee of the entire council.
Roe said he believed the business should be conducted at a council meeting.
"I don't think we're following a course of action that the public necessarily knows about," Roe said.
Wessels said the council is now trying to operate without a city administrator, and that council liaisons would take a stronger role.
Later, Roe said it was the first he heard of going forward without an administrator.
"When you sat at the candidate forum, none of you said you were going to get rid of the city administrator," Roe said.
Wessels responded that he did campaign under the idea that the city doesn't need an administrator.
The council ultimately agreed to hold three meetings to discuss city direction. Those meetings were not yet scheduled as of Tuesday, Feb. 12.
Council member Gary Heacox was absent from Monday's meeting.
In other personnel matters, the council:
• Named clerk/treasurer Jenny Max as a member of the personnel committee. Former administrator Tom Swenson had been on the personnel committee, but resigned in December. Max had been interim administrator, but relinquished those duties this month.
Max joins Schneider, council member John Moengen and Paul Hoge, general manager of Crosslake Communications, on the personnel committee. Max will fill in until the committee recommends making a permanent change.
• Authorized staff to pass on any citizen communications to their respective council liaisons, after meeting the department head. The committee noted that one of the previous roles of the city administrator was communicating with the public, and allowing staff to pass on communications could take some burden of staff.
Public safety
In January, Crosslake Police Chief Robert Hartman reported 125 calls for service in Crosslake, including 24 traffic warnings, seven traffic citations, 18 EMS calls, 14 agency assists, 13 alarms and five hazards in the road.
For Mission Township, Hartman reported 19 incidents, including 10 traffic warnings, four traffic citations, one suspicious vehicle, two house watches and two agency assists.
Fire Chief Chip Lohmiller reported that the ambulance addition to the fire station is nearly complete, and he expects North Ambulance to move in at the end of this week. Lohmiller said he's happy with the finished product.
Planning and zoning
In January, community development director Ken Anderson reported six permits issued in the city of Crosslake. The total valuation for those permits was $91,714. That compares with three permits issued in January of 2012. Those 2012 permits had a valuation of $2,560.
In other business Monday, the council:
• Donated $100 each to the Pequot Lakes and Pine River-Backus Grad Blast programs.
• Approved commission appointments. Joe Albrecht, Alden Hardwick and Robb Reed were all appointed to three-year terms on the park/library commission. Mandy Mitchell was named an alternate to the Economic Development Authority, and Mike Winkels and Mike Myogeto were appointed to three-year terms on the utility advisory board.

Captain Michael Healy (1839-1904), commander of the Revenue Cutters "Corwin" and "Bear" was the presence of the law off the coast of Alaska in the late 19th century. Although his primary function was to prevent the contraband sale of guns and alcohol to the natives and to control the illegal slaughter of seals, he was acclaimed for his fearless efforts to save the lives of seamen marooned in the Arctic. He was also concerned for the Eskimos, whose food supply was being depleted by the decreasing number of seals and walrus. Together with the missionary Sheldon Jackson, he initiated a plan to bring Siberian reindeer into Alaska. Healy bargained with the Siberian tribesmen for purchase of the animals, then ferried the shiploads of reindeer across the Bering Straits to establish the herds.

These timeless tales are perfect entertainment for the entire family.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Source of legend and lyric, reference and conjecture, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is for most children pure pleasure in prose. While adults try to decipher Lewis Carroll's putative use of complex mathematical codes in the text, or debate his alleged use of opium, young readers simply dive with Alice through the rabbit hole, pursuing "The dream-child moving through a land / Of wonders wild and new." There they encounter the White Rabbit, the Queen of Hearts, the Mock Turtle, and the Mad Hatter, among a multitude of other characters--extinct, fantastical, and commonplace creatures. Alice journeys through this Wonderland, trying to fathom the meaning of her strange experiences. But they turn out to be "curiouser and curiouser," seemingly without moral or sense.
For more than 130 years, children have reveled in the delightfully non-moralistic, non-educational virtues of this classic. In fact, at every turn, Alice's new companions scoff at her traditional education. The Mock Turtle, for example, remarks that he took the "regular course" in school: Reeling, Writhing, and branches of Arithmetic-Ambition, Distraction, Uglification, and Derision. Carroll believed John Tenniel's illustrations were as important as his text. Naturally, Carroll's instincts were good; the masterful drawings are inextricably tied to the well-loved story. (All ages) --Emilie CoulterReview:
Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland has continuously delighted readers, young and old, for more than a century. This classic tale, interpreted by many outstanding artists over the years, is a remarkable story of one little girl who embarks on possibly one of the most amazing adventures in literary history. In this stunning special edition, Helen Oxenbury turns her hand to what is certainly no small project and has succeeded in surpassing expectation. More abundantly illustrated than other editions of the same work, this unabridged version is packed with contemporary and accessible interpretations of the kaleidoscope of characters--the White Rabbit, the Mad Hatter, the Cheshire Cat, the Queen of Hearts--who have each captured the imaginations of generations of children. Alice herself is portrayed as a thoroughly modern miss--casually dressed, personable, and spirited--and her surroundings are brought to effervescent life with a warmth, depth, and distinctive sense of humor that perfectly complement the shenanigans of the topsy-turvy world of Wonderland. (Ages 7 and older) --Susan Harrison, Amazon.co.uk

Just days after releasing details of a new four-door M6 coupe, BMW has revealed a baffling two-door version of the M5 saloon.'Ja, that's right,' confirmed BMW spokesman Beaemm W. Spokesmann. 'We are making a two door version of the four door car that was the basis of the two door car that became a four door car. It is part of the same philosophy that caused us to badge a 3-series with a 2-litre engine as a 328i. As you Britische would say, we are *** with you.'Munich sources claim that the inexplicable two door M5 will be followed by other equally perplexing new models including a 5-series Touring saloon, a short-wheelbase version of the 760Li and a coupe based on the 6-series Convertible.According to Herr Spokesmann, the new model onslaught is part of BMW's plan to become 'the world's most confusing car maker' by 2015. However, industry experts warn that the German company's ambition may be thwarted by the continued existence of Proton which has completely baffled everyone for over 20 years.http://sniffpetrol.com/2012/12/14/bmw-announces-inexplicable-thing/
This is a joke.
------------------------------You can have an opinion, just be prepared to be relentlessly mocked for it.Warning: This post may cause cancer in the state of California.
So now BMW has a 4-door 5-Series, a 2-door 5-Series, a 2-door 6-Series, and a 4-door 6-Series all built on the same chassis with the same power trains? Meanwhile, they still don't have an M version of the only sports car they build.

I think it's funny that the "additional" models listed already exist.

Is this a joke like the M3 pickup?
TOTS:Is this a joke like the M3 pickup?M3 pickup was real.
It was an April Fool's joke that was never meant for production.
This clearly is not true! For one it makes absolutely no sense. The two door 5 Series is the 6 Series. Their new naming scheme, odd numbered sedans and even numbered coupes, further proves this is complete BS. That rendering pictured above isn't that pretty compared to the 6 Series and newly introduced 4 series coupe. This wouldn't sell.
The M3 truck wasn't an April Fool's joke.It replaced their old E30 parts/errand truck. Seriously.The media outlets just went crazy, as usual.

Lol I thought Eleanor Rigby was supposed to be their SD, not their FD. That's why I said earlier they must have changed their music. My bad.
Lol I thought Eleanor Rigby was supposed to be their SD, not their FD. That's why I said earlier they must have changed their music. My bad.
I'm still wondering what Fallin' has to do with a waltz and what the music has to do with what C/P were physically doing on the ice. Don't get me wrong, they were smooth and technically good, but did they have any connection to the music at all? Not really, in my opinion.
The Kerrs were great. I've really hated the new SD format, and theirs was the first I've really enjoyed. IMO, they schooled C/P in terms of musicality, presence and maturity.
Lovely to look at this SC Short Dance, but competitively, no surprises. I'm just wondering why Tibbets and Brubaker were scored so low? That German team was fun to watch. Were they doing a Svengali or a Coppelia like dance?
I gave C/P their due. However, IN MY OPINION, they are lacking in emotional connection and connection to the music. The Kerrs are vastly superior in that regard. There seemed to be a disconnect between what C/P were doing on the ice and the music. Waltz and Fallin' just don't go together.
Tanith, who was commenting on Universal Sports, also felt there was a big difference in terms of maturity and personality on the ice between the Kerrs and C/P.
I don't understand how Kerrs got the first palce. I know C/P are a young team and have a lot of work to do but Kerrs SD for me is a huge mess. I also don't hava a clue why they are skating to Etta James and The Ting Tings. I parise them for using their creativity but I don't get this SD, very empty and soem crazy arm hand movmentos...and S posture is just bad.
Oh, and C/P captured the audience? They are Canadians, skating at Skate Canada. Don't think that was going to be a difficult task for them.

My unprofessional opinion:
Arnold/Trojek: I think they suffered the consequences of no ISU ranking coming into the competition, unknown and starting first; shoud have finished a spot higher with something like 48 points; looked a little nervous
Frohberg/Giesen: had no real connection between them and was slow and plodding; interesting idea, but not a fan of the result
Paul/Islam: she is BEAUTIFUL; but the program was not perfect; saw this program before, and like it better now than before, though still not my favourite (why can't a waltz be a waltz instead of a tango?)
Tibbetts/Brubaker: he is much better than she is; really nice knee action and skating with the music, but the program was just not skated well
Carron/Jones: I found this very unexciting, very repetitive; it was well skated, and they looked good, but just didn't absorb me at all
Gorshkova/Buitikov: for the life of me can't figure out what those costumes were all about; distracting; just ho hum, and didn't stand out
Chock/Zuerlein: actually really liked this program; musicality and "look" of the program was really good, and looked like a team, but technically not as good as the top 2 or 3; you can really see the Shpilband/Zueva quality in that program
Crone/Poirier: this was VERY well done, much better than I saw a month ago; really like the clever choreography, and very well skated; but will someone PLEASE do something about Vanessa's dress and hair? Seriously, she is a gorgeous young woman, and deserves to look like one, especially for a waltz and to that music. Let her hair down with soft styling to keep the hair out of her way but still look feminine. The "do" was so severe. And the dress did nothing at all for her - the cut was all wrong for her figure. Unflattering. Just terrible. It seems to be an ongoing problem with Scarboro teams. They need a new seamstress, especially for the young women. Paul, well, he looked just fine, as well noted by others here.
Kerr/Kerr: ok, they look more mature, but then again, they are more mature than anyone else out there; skating was good and solid, and they have connection, but I really didn't like the abrupt change in the music, and the program was disjointed (again, why can't a waltz just be a waltz?); I'd have put Crone/Poirier ahead of them, but I guess that would have been tough to take; can't tell me 0.01 difference doesn't have politics involved in some way or another!
I thought the Kerrs should have had a bigger lead over C/P. The Kerrs really sold their program and C/P merely skated theirs. That's why the Kerrs' PCS was so much higher than C/P's, and IMO it should have been even higher.
C/P are technically excellent, but the whole is somehow less than the sum of its parts. They just don't seem to have a connection between them other than executing all the elements perfectly together. To me, they are slightly bland and sometimes more than a little boring.
C/P: It's a good vehicle for them, but I really do hope their expression grows. Technically, its so superior what the Kerrs can do - their timing, the choreography, the beauty of the movements. I'm fine with the fact that the Kerrs have higher PCS, but I'm glad C/P dominated them on TES. Looking forward to the FD - both teams will really have to bring it.
I'm also glad that C/Z did well - I don't want them to get overlooked in the Z/S mix.

General Motors is recalling certain 2004–2011 Chevrolet Colorado, GMC Canyon, and Isuzu regular and extended cab models without a rear seat and equipped with a 60/40 front bench split seat for failing to comply with federal safety standards on child restraint anchorage systems. The top tether anchor for the front center seat is not accessible and the manual provides no instruction on its use. In order to correct the problem, dealers will cut a hole in the back panel trim cover to allow access to the top tether anchor and will provide supplemental instructions on the use of the top tether.

I know this may not be the right forum but I do think this is of general interest.
You know, the whole internet thing is a bit scary. Some months ago I looked at a website that compared the prices of pickup trucks. Next thing I knew, everywhere I went on the web there were ads for pickup trucks .even here on Beesource. I understand the concept of targeted ads. But today on Beesource one of the ads had a series of photos of hot looking, young women and the text read We arent looking for young men, we want you.
Somehow, the internet marketing bots figured out Im male, older and single.
I dont use any online dating service, frequent girly, porn or guy only sites. Basically, I bank, read the news, check the weather and visit Beesource.
I didnt follow the link. Im confident that none of those babes are really interested in a 60 year old, bald, beekeeping geezer. And, truth be told, I was involved with some twentish women when I was twentish .and I have no desire to repeat the experience.
At what point does this sort of thing become an invasion of privacy?

Indiana's Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) Loan Program provides low-interest-rate financing to construct drinking water infrastructure. As loans are repaid, money is available to be used again for new financings, thus making the program a "revolving fund."
The program's funds originated from capitalization grants from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA). Today, the program still receives such grants, but also uses the revolved repayments along with leveraging in open market to allow more money to be available at a low interest rate for eligible projects.
The DWSRF Loan Program has provided more than $321 million in financing to Indiana communities since the program's first drinking water loan closing in 1999. Since then, the DWSRF Loan Program has provided over $34 million in savings to Indiana communities. In SFY 2008 alone communities saved more than $8 million by taking advantage of the DWSRF Loan Program's subsidized interest rates.
Political subdivisions (cities, towns and counties), regional water districts, privately-owned and not-for-profit facilities are eligible to apply for financing through the DWSRF Loan Program.
Eligible projects include:
Loan terms:
The SRF loan is a fixed rate, 20-year loan. Interest rates are reset quarterly and are at or below 90% of the average 20-year AAA-rated, general obligation bond Muncipal Market Data. Rates are further discounted based on an applicant's median household income (from 2000 census data) and local user rates.

Canon EOS 700D/REBEL T5i/Kiss X7i review: New 'EOS for Beginners' flagship DSLR offers no improvement in sensor scoresBy Paul Carroll - Thursday May 02 2013 Sensor Review
Introduction | Canon EOS 700D/REBEL T5i/Kiss X7i sensor performance | Canon EOS 700D/REBEL T5i/Kiss X7i versus competition | Conclusion
Replacing the 650D the 700D becomes the new flagship DSLR in their 'EOS for Beginners' range. Continuing to feature a 18-megapixel APS-C 'Hybrid CMOS' sensor, 100 - 25,600 ISO range, 5fps burst shooting and 9-point AF the new model is almost identical however. Costing $1099 it's up against stiff competition, with rivals such as the Nikon D5200 and Sony Alpha 58 packing more resolution for less money.

Lenses tested on D7100
Is DXoMark going to test some lenses on Nikon D7100 and publish articles regarding the test and comparison results? Really hope that there will be similar tests conducted on Nikon DX bodies.

Re: Lenses tested on D7100
Hello everybody. First of all thanks to the DXOMARK team for their outstanding work. It would indeed be nice to have the newer Nikon 24MP DX bodies tested. I think that many people are intested in buying some new lenses but are waiting to see how they perform on the 24MP sensors (d3200, d5200, d7100). It will be very interesting to see the real impact of those extra pixels in terms of actual image resolution ? Greetings everybody.

Still a great phone
There might be no major upgrade but the T5i still has the latest and best features today. But if you are looking for "beginners" or entry-level dslr, you should consider the Rebel SL1. Read the review at http://www.squidoo.com/canon-eos-rebel-sl1-review

I am planning on my equipment purchase for the upcoming year, and would like to play around with some nucleus hives. Based on my calculations, an 8-frame medium is very close in size to a 5-frame nucleus hive (deep body).
Any advantage on using one over the other? I am planning to switch to 8-frame, medium hives next year so there is an advantage in having only one size equipment. However, the 8-frame box would be wider, though shallower.
Would love your input.

As part of the A350 XWB Customer Definition Centre opening event in Hamburg, Airbus unveiled the A350 XWB's first development cabin interior on board flight test aircraft MSN002.
Since its maiden flight on 26 February 2014, the aircraft has completed 76 flight hours over a total of 12 flights. It is the first of two aircraft in the A350 XWB's development fleet to be fitted with a cabin – which is equipped with a medium flight test installation to be used for testing all cabin-related systems.
Intensive cabin flight and ground tests already have been performed on the aircraft since its arrival in Hamburg during mid-March. MSN002 also will be used for a partial evacuation test on the ground, as well as hot and cold cabin evaluations.
MSN002 will be the first A350 XWB to carry real passengers when it makes a series of "early long flights," during which the aircraft's cabin systems and features can be tested in the air. It will soon be joined by the second cabin-equipped A350 XWB, MSN005, which is to perform a series of route-proving flights around the world.
The new interior showcases the widebody aircraft's extra wide 221-inch internal cabin cross-section, along with just some of the features that will characterise the in-service jetliner. The final aircraft is set to include the very latest inflight entertainment consoles, and will offer airlines exceptional flexibility and passenger comfort in all seat classes along with 18-inch seats in a nine-abreast economy configuration.
As of the end of March 2014, the A350 XWB has won 812 orders from 39 customers worldwide, and together the first four flight test aircraft have accumulated over 1,400 flight test hours – performed in more than 300 test flights. The first aircraft is due to enter commercial service with launch customer Qatar Airways later this year.

City council mulls geese-feeding ordinance
IDAHO FALLS, Idaho - The work session at the City Council meeting in Idaho Falls including a topic in hot debate with the public: the geese at the greenbelt.
The area near River Parkway in Idaho Falls is a big problem spot with too many geese, too much mess and too many people contributing to the problem of overpopulation by feeding the geese.
The Parks and Recreation Department proposed several options to the city, including a fine for feeding wildlife. The fine would cover feeding not only geese, but seagulls, pigeons and ducks.
At the greenbelt in Idaho Falls, a picnic quickly comes with many uninvited guests.
"There's a lot of geese, a little more poo than I would like," said Tammy Yu, who brought her two young daughters to the greenbelt just to feed the geese.
Almost every inch of the grass and sidewalk is covered with bird droppings.
"That's also a health concern, because folks, especially children, could come in contact with diseases that are found in these feces like salmonella and crypto, so that's a major concern," said Parks and Recreation Director Greg Weitzel.
"One of the most important things is an ordinance banning the feeding of the population, to let them be wild and let them go find their food naturally as they would," said Weitzel.
With people like Yu, who brought her two daughters just to feed the geese, controlling the problem will likely involve a fine.
"We like them, we like the geese and we like the ducks and we like to come down and feed them," said Yu.
She said if an ordinance to ban feeding the geese passes, it would be much more fun for her girls to be in a cleaner environment.
Yu used to come to the greenbelt as a kid and she said it was much different back then.
"There's just a lot more geese than I remember. It is a little dirtier than I remember, so if they had someone who could clean up a bit it would be fantastic," said Yu.
As part of the proposed ordinance, the Parks and Recreation Department proposed the City Council approve a contract with the USDA to help with overpopulation.
One way the USDA curbs the overpopulation is to find the goose nests and coat the eggs with a special type of oil to keep the eggs from hatching.
The fine to feed the geese could be upwards of $100. The city will also add signs to the greenbelt area explaining why feeding the geese is not a good idea and the health risks that come with it.

Holy Frack! Pittsburgh Bans Gas Drilling Through Rights-based Ordinance
Posted by Shannon Biggs in Community Rights on 18th November, 2010 | No Comments
Pittsburgh has taken a stand against corporate power and has just become the first major U.S. city to adopt a rights-based ordinance that includes the legal rights for nature. Communities like Pittsburgh are discovering their lack of decision-making power in their own communities and are taking a stand through a rights-based approach. Pittsburgh's ability to take on corporate injustice says a lot about the future of communities to truly stop unwanted harm rather than just postpone it.

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is a term used to describe the accumulation of fat in the liver of people who drink little or no alcohol.
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is common and, for most people, causes no signs and symptoms and no complications.
But in some people with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, the fat that accumulates can cause inflammation and scarring in the liver. This more serious form of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is sometimes called nonalcoholic steatohepatitis.
At its most severe, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease can progress to liver failure.
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease usually causes no signs and symptoms. When it does, they may include:
Make an appointment with your doctor if you have persistent signs and symptoms that cause you concern.
Start by making an appointment with your family doctor or a general practitioner if you have signs and symptoms that worry you. If your doctor suspects you may have a liver problem, such as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, you may be referred to a doctor who specializes in the liver (hepatologist).
Because appointments can be brief, and because there's often a lot of ground to cover, it's a good idea to be well-prepared. Here's some information to help you get ready, and what to expect from your doctor.
Your time with your doctor is limited, so preparing a list of questions will help you make the most of your time together. List your questions from most important to least important, in case time runs out. For nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, some basic questions to ask include:
In addition to the questions that you've prepared to ask your doctor, don't hesitate to ask questions during your appointment.
Your doctor is likely to ask you a number of questions. Being ready to answer them may allow more time later to cover other points you want to address. Your doctor may ask:
Tests and procedures used to diagnose nonalcoholic fatty liver disease include:
Liver tissue testing. If it's suspected that you have a more serious form of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, your doctor may recommend a procedure to remove a sample of tissue from your liver (liver biopsy). The tissue sample is examined in a laboratory to look for signs of inflammation and scarring.
Liver biopsy is typically done using a long needle inserted through your skin and into your liver to remove liver cells (needle biopsy).
No standard treatment for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease exists.
Instead, doctors typically work to treat the risk factors that contribute to your liver disease. For instance, if you're obese, your doctor can help you to lose weight through diet, exercise and, in some cases, medications and surgery.
Your doctor may recommend that you receive vaccinations against hepatitis A and hepatitis B to help protect you from viruses that may cause further liver damage.
Along with your doctor's help, you can take steps to control your nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. You can:
No alternative medicine treatments are proven to cure nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. But researchers are studying whether some natural compounds could be helpful, such as:
Vitamin E. In theory, vitamin E and other vitamins called antioxidants could help protect the liver by reducing or neutralizing the damage caused by inflammation. But more research is needed.
Some evidence suggests vitamin E supplements may be helpful for people with liver damage caused by nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. But vitamin E has side effects, such as an increased risk of death and, in men, an increased risk of prostate cancer.
Discuss the benefits and risks of vitamin E with your doctor.
Coffee. In one study, people with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease who reported drinking coffee had less liver damage than those who drank little or no coffee. It's not clear how coffee may influence liver damage or how much coffee you'd need to drink in order to benefit.
If you already drink coffee, these results may make you feel better about your morning cup of coffee. But if you don't already drink coffee, this probably isn't a good reason to start. Discuss the potential benefits of coffee with your doctor.

Campus Update December 2011
This is undoubtedly my favorite time of year. The air is crisp; the campus is filled with a blend of excitement and race to the finish as the fall semester comes to an end and we all get to celebrate the Christmas season with friends and family.
To kick off the Christmas season, I want to personally invite you to Vanguard's 15th annual Christmas Fantasia concert. We offer two performances, one at the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall at the Segerstrom Center for the Arts on December 1 and another at St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church on December 2. Your spirit will soar as you watch Vanguard's talented music department sing Christmas carols and get you in the Christmas spirit. For more information please click here.
Our Global Center for Women and Justice department has also been active this semester creating a number of community events that bring awareness and reflection on suffering and abuse and our call to serve compassionately. The GCWJ hosted a Solidarity Sleep Out where Vanguard students and community members spent the night away from the comfort of their homes to raise awareness about homelessness. To learn more about the Solidarity Sleep Out please visit www.solidaritysleepout.org
I continue to be thankful for the compassionate students we have here at Vanguard. Many of our students will be participating in missions trips this December. One example of how Vanguard students will be serving is at a Children's Christmas Party, which provides food and gifts to over 300 children in need. For more information, please click here.
This semester we also celebrated the opening of our renovated Towers Lobby with its new outdoor patio space. We dedicated the new space with our Board of Trustees and then celebrated with our students. This is part of a larger project to renovate Huntington Hall, one of our oldest dorms on campus. This summer we completed renovation of the second floor and are continuing to seek funds to complete all floors of the dorm. For a video clip and photos of the new lobby space, please click here.
As all of us prepare to honor the birth of Jesus this Christmas season, it reminds me of all that I have to be thankful for this past year. Vanguard has been blessed so much that it is a true testament to God's hand on Vanguard and the great plans He has in store for the University. I want to wish all of you a wonderful Christmas during this joyous time of year.
God Bless you and God Bless Vanguard,
Dr. Carol Taylor

Are Indy colts fans bragging about all of their teams nfl and Super Bowl championships when they were in Baltimore? I highly doubt it. If they are then they are extremely stupid.
So how far back are you allowed to go? Cubs fans are really bragging about that World Series ring they got over 100 years ago, right? How bout the Red Sox, in 86 years they weren't thumping their chest about the 1918 World Series championship were they?
are the buffalo bills hanging on to those 2 AFL championships? how bout the houston oilers/titans? the dallas texans/kc cheifs won 3 AFL championships...why aren't those ever mentioned. did the AFL not count?
so the packers are allowed to claim the 1930 nfl championship? here were the teams in the league:
ny giants
chicago bears
brooklyn dodgers
providence steam roller
staten island stapeltons
chicago cardinals
portsmith spartans
frankford yellow jackets
minneapolis red jackets
newark tornados!
yup, lets tout that accomplishment!!!
bottom line, the only era that counts is the super bowl era! i'm not saying that because the steelers have the most championships, i'm saying that because we are so far removed from 1929, 1930, 31, 36, 39, 44, etc...
its nice to have the history, but come on...
