Informed sources said Sunday the case involves allegations of criminal tax fraud and would pro- duce a sensation in financial and business circles. If the government adheres to its tentative timetable, it was learned, evidence will be present- ed to a federal grand jury in New York City later this week. A final decision was being delayed pend- ing a special meeting of federal prosecutors later today. Cases Informants said at least a dozen tax fraud cases, including this one, were being developed against brokers, underwriters, stock ma- nipulators, "boiler room opera- tors" and Wall Street lawyers. They said the intensive work in the securities area was similar to past income tax crackdowns which have involved physicians, headwaitcrs, morticians, lawyers, small businessmen and even tug- boat captains. Some of the investigations have been under way for as long as three years. A large proportion involved Wall Street operators, but several center in other cities.

It comes when the matador leans over the horns to deliver the coup de grace with his sword, exposing himself to one final, per- haps lethal thrust of the dying beast. France, in Algeria, is at a mo- ment of truth. After seven bloody years, the end of the Algerian war is in sight. But it is just at this mo- ment of settlement that the dying conflict may yet wrench France apart. For the diehard French colons in Algeria know that an agree- ment between President De Gaulle and the Algerian rebels would end their hopes to keep Algeria French. They are waging an in- creasingly open struggle to fore- stall this moment of truth. Grim For seven years the Algerian war has avoided the unthinkable prospect of Frenchman killing Frenchman.

Workers Consider Contracts By BOB VOELKER PITTSBURGH lead- ers of the United Steelworkers Union, in one of the earliest starts ever, opened conferences today to map strategy for 1962 contract negotiations with the na- tion's basic steel industry. Headed by President David J. McDonald, the union's 34-man Ex- ecutive Board went into session behind closed doors at a midtown hotel. McDonald arrived 25 minutes late for the meeting, scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. He talked briefly with newsmen on generalities, but parried questions about the con- ferences. Union spokesman did say the board, which also will meet Tues- day, was to discuss a proposal for a shorter work-week in the steel industry. Recommendations of the board will be turned over to the union's International Wage Policy Com- mittae, which convenes in Pitts- burgh on Wednesday.

A Spam Filter You Use On Your Friends
Rather is a new Chrome extension that promises to filter your Facebook and Twitter streams for you, replacing content you hate with content you like.
You give Rather a list of keywords, and when Rather sees a story containing a bad keyword on your feed, it replaces it with Instagram photos or stories from an RSS feed of your choice. For instance, you can replace every baby photo your friends post with a picture of a cute puppy. (Rather actually grew out of a service called unbaby.me, which only filtered for baby pictures.)
At first blush, Rather seems as much like a joke about social media as it does an actual product a person would use. That notion is fortified by Rather's reviews in the Chrome store, which suggest that the service might not actually work that reliably.
But when you think about it, it seems like social media platforms would benefit from absorbing Rather's functionality. As it stands right now, you can choose to hide someone from your feed entirely, but you can't say that you only want to hear some of what they want to say. You should be allowed to unfollow an idea.
One last interesting side-feature to Rather is that it also provides a list of popular blocked topics. Scanning it, you get a snapshot of the diverse, unlikely multitude of stuff people would just prefer not to hear about. Today, the list includes George Takei, mass shootings, Movember, and Bitcoins.

The path to a CIF-Southern Section Division I championship won't be an easy one for the Flintridge Sacred Heart Academy girls soccer team.
The Tologs (15-2-3) did not receive a top seed when brackets were announced Monday. Instead, they'll take the overland route by hosting Laguna Hills at Occidental College in Thursday's first round at 3:30 p.m.
That was the good news. The bad news was a game against No.4-seeded Villa Park likely awaits next week if form holds true in both first-round games.
"I think it's a good draw for us," Tologs coach Cesar Hidalgo said. "Being at home, knowing the field and not having to travel away, I think makes it a very positive advantage.
"But nonetheless, we don't want to take anyone lightly. If they're there, in that bracket, they're going to be a tough competitor."
The Tologs haven't lost in their last seven matches. Granted, two of them were ties. But included in the unbeaten streak is a win over powerful Harvard-Westlake, which should be confidence inspiring since the Wolverines were made the No. 3 seed in the division. Flintridge Sacred Heart finished second in the Mission League behind Harvard-Westlake.
"I think our league is as competitive as any in Orange County," Hidalgo said. "We've played teams like Harvard-Westlake and it's given us the challenge and the opportunity to win games against teams like that. I believe it's given us a good advantage to look ahead and feel like we can do well in this tournament."
Marshall was the only area team to earn a top seed in its respective division. The Eagles were made the No. 2 seed in Division 7 and will await the winner of a wild-card game between Rosemead and Kern Valley. Marshall went 16-4-3 this season and won the Delphic League.
Elsewhere in Division 7, Gabrielino will host either St. Paul or Avalon, and Alverno visits St. Genevieve in Thursday's first round.
The Rio Hondo League contingent of league champ San Marino, runner-up South Pasadena and third-place La Canada got dramatically different fates in Division 5. The Titans (13-2-4) justifiably got a first-round home game on Thursday against the wild-card winner between San Jacinto and Lompoc.
South Pasadena (8-6-5) is headed to Irvine for its first-round game against Crean Lutheran on Thursday. La Canada (9-5-3) will have to play its way into the field in a wild-card road trip to Nipomo on Tuesday.
Pacific League champion Arcadia (12-6-2) was awarded a first-round home game on Thursday. The Apaches will take on St. Joseph of Santa Maria, which is the fourth-place team out of the PAC-7. Elsewhere in Division 3, Mayfield visits Victor Valley.

1988 B250 Ram Prospector
Here's my '88 Ram Van. I picked up during the summer of 2011. It's an one owner van that only had 12k original miles on it. It has a 5.2 TBI, overdrive automatic, cold R12 a/c, tilt steering column and cruise control. It was totally unmolested when I got it. Since then I've added some goodies..
Here's a link to the build process from Vannin.com
So, it was unmolested and then you molested it?
Sharp lookin van. Good find!
Hey mutt, how you doing. The van is looking good, I too have been working on my van. I'm designing a new suspension system for the van and a new engine as well.
Hey Ramvan2500! Good to see you are still active here. I was gone for a while but I am back. Still have my van.
Next up, the diff.........
Thought I would check with you before jumping in as I have no idea.
Had a heart attack 6 months ago but survived. Just getting back to normal.
I still have my van also, it is in storage for my spring break. I have to replace the front end soon, cannot even drive the thing without ending up in the other lane.
Anyways, for the differential I am assuming you are just changing out the fluid. Well the first thing to do is layout the tools and parts.
Tools: Wrenches, Sockets, and a Torque Wrench to torque the housing cover bolts (25 ft-lbs)
Parts: Housing Cover Gasket, Gasket Sealer, 2-3 Quarts of Gear Oil (I run 75W-140 to 85W-140 especially on high mileage differentials, oh yea Valvoline Conventional or Durablend.
If you have a Limited Slip Differential you will need friction modifier, I highly doubt you have Limited Slip because not many people who got the vans opted for it, and since yours is a conversion van I am almost certain since most van converters rarely order them with LSD. But just to be sure check the white build sticker under the hood, should be attached to the underside of the hood.
1. Put a pan under your axle housing.
2. Take all of the bolts off except the top two, these you just want to loosen.
3. Hit the cover lightly with a hammer to free it.
4. Let all the nasty oil drain, then remove the top two screws and the cover.
5. Inspect the ring gear for any chipping, if their is chipping I recommend you have the ring and pinion gear replaced. Inspect the spider gears in the carrier also for any damage and replace if damaged.
6. Clean the old gasket off of the housing and housing cover.
7. Clean the shavings magnet, this magnet sits on the bottom of the housing on the inside of course.
7.5 Take your housing cover and paper gasket and try to find a way in which the holes align perfectly, then set aside the gasket.
8. Prepare the housing and housing cover by covering both surfaces with gasket sealer, then place the paper gasket onto the housing cover being sure that the holes align perfectly.
9. Install the cover and finger screw the bolts in.
10. Take out your wrench and just wrist tighten everything, then take your torque wrench (set 25 ft-lbs) and torque each bolt working in a zig-zag pattern.
11. For me, have a beer; but for you, grapefruit juice.
12. Fill the differential with oil, if you have a Limited Slip Differential be sure to put the friction modifier in first, then the oil.
13. Put the filler plug back in and then go for a ride!
Be sure to bottle the old oil and bring it to your local oil collector, in my case autozone.
If you have any troubles you can just PM me or email me and I will respond in the drop of a dime.

49ers have a much stronger Special Teams.
49ers have a much stronger Special Teams.
STs wins SBs? Is this an alternate universe?
Yes ST creates field advantages and points that changes coaching decisions.
ST is as important as offense or defense.
Youll know if you ever tried creating a team, i have!

Yep that's why I am glad we have an advantage with out punter (if it comes to that) being able to pin your butts down deep everytime
Football has been very, very good to us.
After losing seasons 2013-15, the giants put up 11 wins in 16.. they are on way Back
But for now we can console ourselves with this fact-
# of Super Bowl victories since 1985:
1-Chicago, St. Louis, Tampa Bay, Indianapolis, New Orleans, Seattle
2-Washington, Green Bay, Pittsburgh, Baltimore
3-San Francisco, Dallas, Denver
4-New York Giants!!!
Let's make it 5 in 2016 so we can be on a LINE NE again!!!
***Stat provided by "Schloss22"***
if special teams wins championships, how did we win a championship in 2007. Great quarterbacks and great defensive line play is how we won a championship 3 times and will happen again this year to make it 4 championships.
I don't see the point, our STs have done a good job this year....
and yes ST do win superbowls.
[quote user="slipknottin"]STs wins SBs? Is this an alternate universe?[/quote]
And in this alternate universe, offense plays no part? That's probably the only way 9ers have a chance.
I think the Giants are not as reliant on special teams as the 49ers because they have such a good third down conversion rate.
One of the reason the 49ers have won so many games this season is because our special teams can not only return the ball for good field position, but we make the other team march at least 80 yards for a touchdown (which burns time off the clock, favoring defensive strengths), regularly put the ball on the five yard line, and rarely miss field goals from under 50 yards.
Special teams is not necessarily that important when Green Bay plays the Saints (unless it comes down to a field goal at the end) because it is basically a shootout. Playing a good defensive team like the 49ers or the Ravens, special teams are often the key to victory.
ST is going to be a key this Sunday, who ever wins will rely on ST.

Great quilts! I love the dogs of the month one. So cute!
Kim, your quilts are FANTASTIC!! The Dog of the month was inspired. Especially Thanksgiving with a turkey leg in his mouth. You do great work. Did you see the doggie bone fabric in mine? That is what I was talking about in the pm I sent you.
If I could applique, I would love to do one of Pembroke Welsh Corgis.
No we are not bad for spoiling our babies. My babies don't know any other way. 8) No such thing as spoiling a dog to much is there?
I hope not.
Well I hope it turns out that people want to do a doggie block exchange.
I know there are alot of dog lovers out there besides us. It would be nice to see the results that everyone came up with.
Thanks for chatting.
Glad you liked my quilts.
Yes the doggie fabric in yours really made for a nice doggie quilt. I noticed in your Center of Attention Quilt you had other Doggie Fabrics in it as far as I could tell. Very cute. I think someone mentioned doing a dog block swap after seeing your Center of Attention Quilt. It is very striking.
Hey I did do applique on that Dog-Yeared Quilt. BUT I could have done it with all just No Sew Heat n Bond. Then all you have to do is trace, cut and iron on. I've done a few projects using that and they turn out just as nice. You should try it. If your looking for Pembroke Welsh Corgi Pattern
I'll see what I can do for ya. I probably have 1. Atleast 1. Have you ever done a block using color crayons? I just got 2 Roosters done . That way you could also trace a Corgi and color it and put it in a block. I'll send you a picture of the Rooster done with crayons. My first crayon project and it was alot of fun.
Have a great day.
Rooster done in crayon also with thread play. My first time for a crayon project also my first attempt at thread play
Close up picture of thread play. I got this pattern from Texas Quiltery. She has alot of nice patterns.
Gorgeous!!! Very Nice Work and Very Cute dogs!!! We have 3 minpins and they are very spoiled I got 2 book of appliques big dogs and little dogs. have yet to try them. they are on my to do list.
Give me a little while and i would LOVE to join a doggie block swap.
Love the crayon chicken block also
WOW! All the quilts are so cute AND so are all the puppies!!! :D
Thanks Joykey for your response. Glad you like the quilts. They are fun.
Wow 3 Minpins. Awesome little/big doggies. Never a dull moment at your house. :-) I think I know the books of big dogs and little dogs your talking about. They are in my to do pile too. I'm going to really work at my UFO's so I can start my to do pile. So far I've found 6 UFO's hiding in all my little hiding spots in my sewing room. :shock: I'm not done searching but I know there are more. Its amazing how many projects just jump off the work table and hibernate no matter what time of year. With cooler weather coming it will be alot easier to stay focused
on getting those done.
Thanks again.
Good night.
That dog of the month is just too cute...............here's my big baby, Rose.

Where Would You Like to See Calorie Labeling?
Menu labeling laws already exist in 18 states, cities and counties, including my home state Vermont, as well as California, New York City, Philadelphia and King County, Washington.
I love having nutrition information to refer to as I'm deciding what to order. (Though some argue nutrition information doesn't influence people to make healthier choices. See EatingWell advisor Rachel Johnson's post, Is posting calorie counts on restaurant menus enough to help us be healthier?)
While FDA's rules are a good start, it doesn't go far enough. The labeling rules don't apply to movie theaters and airplanes—and other establishments, such as bowling alleys, whose primary purpose is not to sell food. Without nutrition information it's too easy to unknowingly go overboard: for example, at the movies, if you order the biggest popcorn, a large soda and then eat half your friends' M&Ms, you could consume nearly 2,400 calories—that's like eating nearly an entire large Pizza Hut pepperoni pizza by yourself, says Nicci Micco, EatingWell's Editor-at-Large and a weight loss expert. (See her post The Best & Worst Movie-Theater Snacks here.)
Those are just my thoughts. I want to hear what you think, so take our poll!
Where would you like to see calorie labeling?
A) vending machines
B) alcohol
C) movie theaters
D) chain restaurants
E) all of the above
F) none of the above

Rays end August with a whimper
by Steve Carney / 620 WDAE
Follow @stevecarney
The Rays will probably welcome the change in the calendar.
Tampa Bay's ninth-inning rally came up short, as the Oakland A's defeated the Rays 2-1 Saturday.
Alex Cobb (8-3) went the distance for the Rays, allowing just five hits, but Oakland took advantage of their opportunities.
The game was scoreless until the sixth inning, when former Rays Stephen Vogt led off the frame with a triple to right field, and the next batter Coco Crisp, singled him in to give the A's the lead.
Crisp added a solo home run in the eighth, his 15th of the year, that would prove to be the winning run.
Tampa Bay could not get on the scoreboard until the ninth inning, when Grant Balfour allowed a one-out double to Wil Myers, breaking an 0-for-22 slump. James Loney drew a walk before Jose Lobaton lined out for the second out of the frame. A wild pitch moved Myers to third base, but Loney did not move up on the play, which proved to be critical. Desmond Jennings then singled in Myers to cut the lead to 2-1, but pinch-hitter Kelly Johnson grounded out to first base to end the game.
The loss drops Tampa Bay now 4.5 games behind the Boston Red Sox in the American League East, and gives Oakland a 1.5 game lead over the Rays in the Wild Card race. They finish the month of August 11-15 after losing six of their last seven.
The Rays will look to salvage the finale Sunday, as right-hander Jamey Wright (2-2, 2.97 ERA) will make his first start since August 25, 2007, taking on A.J. Griffin. First pitch is scheduled for 4:05, with pregame coverage starting on 620 WDAE and 95.3 FM at 2:00 with the Suncoast Hyundai Dealers Inside Pitch.

Facilitating 'Comfortable Change'
Every day your organization is changing. Sometimes the changes are small, affecting only a handful of people or departments, and sometimes these changes are so far-reaching they seem intimidating.
Regardless of the magnitude of the change you're facing, you can make the transition easier. Communication, as always, is key. Let everyone know what's going on, and always answer the "why." Act fast before news starts spreading through the grapevine. Even if you don't have all the details, or can only be vague, communicate. Earn people's trust through periodic updates, and provide facts as they become available.
Always illustrate why change is good. Tell why the new way of doing things is better, why it will provide better outcomes, and how these outcomes will help meet the organization's goals. Once people are presented with this information, the change becomes easier to accept.
Lastly, praise people for changing their behavior. For example, if you're implementing an extensive new process, give daily verbal praise to reinforce behavior, and celebrate when you reach important milestones.
Now sit back, get comfortable and change!

Spring wildflowers remain, despite onset of June Gloom
Look for paintbrush, purple nightshade, coreopsis, sea fig, popcorn flower, and red monkey flower
noon, May 28
'My mother was always putting on this old scratchy LP called Music from Around the Globe," says 46-year-old Carlos Olmeda, "and I would sit mesmerized at how beautifully diverse each song sounded." This early exposure to world music inspired his later songwriting. "I call what I do tricultural pop. That just means that I'm not really a genre specialist. I sing and I play acoustic guitar with the intent of making you imagine things in your head with a soundtrack attached."
Born in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Olmeda moved with his family to Oceanside when he was six and soon got himself a $15 Tijuana Borderline Special guitar. By the time he reached eighth grade at Washington Junior High in Vista, he was already composing pieces like a musical adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe's "Annabel Lee," which he was asked to play for a final-period history class. "I had to run from phys ed class to get there before the bell to go home. So there I was in my gym shorts and a wifebeater T-shirt, dripping sweat, probably kinda smelly and out of breath, trying to sing this dark love song with all this genuine feeling."
Olmeda played his first professional gig with brother Toca Rivera (currently Jason Mraz's percussionist/backup vocalist) at Vista's El Rancho restaurant when he was just out of high school. "We played mostly originals and some popular acoustic music for tips and then spent all the money playing Ms. Pac Man until two a.m."
His debut studio album Learning to Walk dates back to 1995, though he just recently won the copyright to the masters from a one-time "friend" to whom he'd signed rights in order to facilitate distribution ("All told, it cost me over $6K to get them back"). Over the past few years he's written music and done voiceovers for television with a company called L-7 Creative, and he won a 1999 San Diego Music Award for "Best Adult Acoustic Alternative Album." Olmeda opens for the Weepies at Dizzy's on Friday, June 17, at 8 p.m.
1. The Beatles, The Beatles ("Pop interpreters who existed at exactly the right time in history to allow them to be perceived as revolutionary while remaining almost completely adaptive. Now that's cool.")
2. Bob Dylan, Highway 61 Revisited ("When I was a kid in the '60s, Bob Dylan gave me hope that you don't have to sing like Caruso or play like a virtuoso to be involved with music in a deeply moving way.")
3. Paul Simon, Greatest Hits: Shining Like a National Guitar ("Poetry, dignity, sense of humor, soul, reason. What I wouldn't give to open a show for this man!")
4. Elton John, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road ("With Bernie Taupin. 'Nuff said.")
5. Elvis Costello, Spike ("Hope springs eternally, if angrily, man!")
"My mom asked me to play 'The Princess Pupuli' at a church luau. To this day I cringe when I remember having to sing the phrase 'Za za za za, za za za za, zay!' Oh, baby! I have the video in the safe-deposit box of a Mexican bank."
"I prefer King of the Hill. In its own way I think it's more subversive and less hopeless. The dad is also more soft spoken and loving towards his son. I kind of relate to being a fat little kid with a lot of heart."
"I prefer Jumbo Dreadnaught guitars for their rich low end. I just got a new Taylor 815ce that sounds great miked or through the direct/XLR. I also have a Guild Jumbo Dreadnaught and an Ovation that sounds damn good through the P.A., even if it sounds like a toy in my living room. The Taylor is the first guitar I've ever owned that I could tell you the model/make number of. It always kinda pisses me off when some dweeb spouts off the model numbers and names of his gear just to sound impressive before he/she even plays the darn thing."
"I can imitate the sound of a cricket with my eyes closed while executing a demi-plié ballet move where the feet and knees are facing outward and I dip at the center with arms out to the sides. It's really quite a thing."

. . . which really turned into an original lyrical text back in 2004. I have subtitled this song "a Christmas fantasy" because the events described almost certainly did not happen the way they do in this song, but its great fun! I used this 'translation' in my children's Christmas songbook, "O Sing a Song of Bethlehem," and then again when I arranged the piece for The Utah Premiere Brass and Timpanogos Chorale (performed at their Christmas concert in 2005).

I received an email from Susan Henry at Newman & Henry stating "Thank you for applying for the opening 'Office Position' this position is currently listed in Fort Worth, Texas with a pay of $42,000.
We have completed our initial review of the applications, and are happy to inform you that you have been accepted by our client for a further interview."
It included a link to fill out information. It all looks VERY legit until you get to the page where they want you to order a free credit report from Computercredit.com and then give them the access number to the report. That didn't feel right. So I started checking, the address given does not exist, the 800 number is always busy and the ONLY place these folks appear is on their website. They have no job listing on any of the boards and no regular phone number. If you go back throgh their website there is no place to submit a resume or view available positions. I sent a reply to the email I received asking "Susan" to call me. I checked back later and the link has been disabled. Don't walk...RUN!!

|Alcohol: Peer Pressure
If a friend or classmate has ever pushed you into doing something you don't want to do, then you've experienced peer pressure. This is how many young people experiment with underage drinking. If a popular kid offers you a drink, you might think that you'll become popular if you do what he or she says. When a close friend starts drinking, you may worry that you'll lose the friendship if you don't join in.
You may also feel "silent peer pressure" to try drinking. That's when nobody is actually offering you alcohol or encouraging you to try it, but you see other people drinking and feel tempted. This kind of pressure is just as real, but harder to recognize.
There are many ways to handle peer pressure. First, remember these things:
But let's face it: saying "no" isn't always easy. Most of us worry about fitting in and what others will think of us. If you're worried that you'll lose your friend over a peer pressure situation, you may want to take a closer look at the friendship. A true friend will respect your decisions, and someone who ditches you for not taking orders from them was never a friend to begin with. Also, you may discover that some of your other friends secretly feel the same way you do!
If a friend or classmate tries to pressure you, keep in mind why he or she might be doing it:
If a simple "No, thanks" won't do the trick, here are some other tactics for turning down someone who is pressuring you to try drinking:
Whatever you choose, do what feels right for you. Remember: most young people don't drink, so you're in good company! If someone won't stop pressuring you, it's okay to call for backup. Talk to an adult you trust, like your teacher, guidance counselor, your parents, or an older brother or sister.

Clinton aims to improve adolescent fitness
Former United States President Bill Clinton has teamed with Reebok to advocate BOKS, an initiative that aims to provide schools with fitness DVD's that students can follow in order to get moving throughout their day.
This campaign, entitled "The Fit for a Healthier Generation," will offer students fitness sessions that last three-to-five minutes, and have been endorsed by "The Biggest Loser" trainer Bob Harper, "TaeBo" creator Billy Blanks, model and celebrity yoga instructor Tara Stiles, and global fitness brand Zumba Fitness.
"The Fit for a Healthier Generation" has already announced they have orders to distribute 30,000 DVD's to schools throughout the country.
The formal announcement of Clinton's partnership with Reebok will come at the Alliance for a Healthier Generation's Healthy Schools Program Forum in Little Rock, Arkansas later this year. The conference will provide the 251 scholastic institutions deemed to be the healthiest schools in the United States with a national recognition award. Clinton and other celebrity endorsers will debut some "Fit for a Healthier Generation" fitness routines with live demonstrations to the 350 conference participants from around the country.
"Less than four percent of elementary schools, eight percent of middle schools and two percent of high schools provide opportunities for daily physical education," said Clinton in a press release. "By bringing together some of the leading experts on physical activity in the country, we can show the benefits of living fit and help kids lead healthier lives."
What is intriguing to me about this new campaign is that the DVD's are affordably priced, and joining the Alliance for a Healthier Generation's Healthy Schools Program online program is completely free. Once a member, schools have access to hundreds of resources, including a variety of no-cost technical tools that can help decrease the childhood obesity rates in their institution.
Now school leaders who choose to join this campaign should assign multiple three-to-five minute breaks throughout the school day so students can exercise to one of these DVD's. However, some school administrators may choose to leave it up to the individual teachers when they plan to offer these fitness opportunities.
Allowing classroom teachers to decide when they will provide learners with exercise opportunities is a horrible mistake. When I was performing my student teaching, one of the biggest complaints I heard from classroom teachers was, "I don't feel comfortable having students exercise in the class." This was either due to the loss of core subject instructional time, concerns about injury due to space limitations, or a lack of knowledge about exercise prescription.
If an administration chooses to participate in this campaign, they need to assign which times the DVD's will be used, and require each teacher to ensure students are following the fitness regimen.
If a teacher is competent and willing, they should have little difficulty getting students to follow the movements on the video for three-to-five minutes. If a teacher causes a fuss about using these videos, perhaps they should rethink how much they really care about their student's overall health.
It's awesome if a student can recite Shakespeare, but if they have an obese BMI, their English teacher should realize that the number of years they can enjoy "Romeo and Juliet" and "Hamlet" will be cut short.

Brian O'Connor has been one of the most popular music instructors in our area for over twenty five years. Being a live performer since childhood and still performing, he has a repertoire of well over two thousand songs. His teaching style is unique and is always geared toward the individual. His goal is to teach the student to play their favorite music as quickly as possible which also gives them the incentive to practice. He has a talent that enables him to just listen to a song and play it. Therefore part of the students lesson is reading music, chords and rhythms, improvisation and learning current songs that appeal to them. Brian teaches guitar, drums, saxophone, bass and flute and works with many of his students on improving their vocal skills. He teaches students ranging from children starting at about eight years old to adults of all ages. Every summer Brian holds a jam fest concert open to the public with his more advanced students jamming out to classic rock such as Clapton, The Beatles, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and ELO.

It is not known exactly when Avignonesi's cellars were built, but they are doubtless among the most ancient in Italy. Palazzo Avignonesi was built according to a design by Jacopo Barozzi (called Vignola) in the second half of the XVI century and it has always been the cellars' seat.
In 1974 the Falvo brothers, owners of the vineyards in the municipality of Cortona, took over Avignonesi and refounded it investing greatly in viniculture, selecting the local varieties and introducing classical ones such as Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Noir. Nowadays, Avignonesi consists of four wine-producing estates: Le Capezzine, I Poggetti, La Selva and La Lombarda. In total they comprise 218 hectares of open ground, 103 ha of vineyards and 7 ha of olive groves.

You don't want strangers at your house knowing you are armed
You will OC while walking around your own neighborhood
(Do strangers not travel through your neighborhood? They do mine quite often)
Therefore, someone with ill intent who sees you OCing can 'case' you and find out where you live, because now they know you have at least one gun.
Understand now?
Or is everyone in or who travels through your area fine upstanding citizens?
How do you know?
CC for me!
Not up on MI law, but isn't it legal to carry concealed, even without a permit, as long as your on your own property? If it is, and your worried about running people off with an exposed gun, go that way.
Positive side to open carrying at your garage sale, people probably won't want to haggle price near as much. :image035:
We do one each year on post when I'm around and you would not believe how cheap Soldier's wives are. They will argue about price saying well at the house down the street they had that item for $1. My response "you better hurry up before someone else snaps up that bargain." I don't haggle at garage sales. Funny thing is that every year we make recover about $500 to $1,500 on clothes and smaller items -- nothing "big ticket" -- and most every time we never hear of anyone hauling in more.
OC if you want too. I OC when I take a walk for exercise. Yes, I do have a CC License. A state trooper lives 3 houses from me, and when he is in his yard when I walk by his house, he says hi and waves at me. No problems with OC.
I'm tired with all of the - you're a target if you OC. I've done it off and on for 45 years and I've never been a target yet. Sometimes it's just easier to OC.
I sometimes go to yard sales OCing and I have never seen anybody get scared and run off because I was OCing. I have had them say - nice gun, what kind is it?
Seems like the people here sweat the small stuff too much. It's you life - do what you want. Who cares what other people think.
Your intended customers will be too busy looking for treasure to notice. The ones that do will probably make an offer or ask "How much for the gun?"
Who's to say what it right and what isn't? There really is no answer.

Box Score
CHARLOTTE, N.C. – The UAB baseball team exploded 12 runs and matched a season-high with 16 hits en route to a 12-2 victory at Charlotte on Saturday afternoon. With the win, UAB secured its sixth Conference USA series of 2014 and extended its winning streak to five games. In addition, the Blazers have outscored their opponents 33-10 over the past five contests.
"The ball bounced our way today," head coach Brian Shoop said. "We had some fortunate things happen for us. What we were today, we were on the ground. We are a better team when we are on the ground, rather than in the air. Coach Polk always talks about how hitting is contagious, it seemed to be the case again today for our guys."
Each player in the starting lineup had at least one hit and all but one recorded at least one RBI. Redshirt junior infielder Matt Morse and redshirt sophomore outfielder Griffin Gum both matched career-highs with three hits each. Junior infielder Nathan Vincent had two RBI for the second straight game and extended his hitting streak to seven straight contests, as well.
Junior right-handed pitcher Alex Luna had a fantastic day on the mound. The right-handed pitcher threw 6.1 scoreless innings, scattered four hits, struck out five, and walked one. Luna retired 11 of the last 12 batters he faced, as well. The Huntsville, Ala. native is 6-0 on the year with a 1.55 ERA.
"I thought Luna was really good again," added Shoop. "Alex always has a chance for a groundball when he pitches. You always have a chance for a double play when you're in a jam. After we scored five, he had the bases loaded and nobody out. A bases-loaded comebacker double-play, I thought that was the real big play of the game. He ended up getting out of the inning without giving up a run."
For the 30th time in 2014, UAB (29-16, 15-8) was the first team to put runs on the board. The Blazers plated five runs in the top of the third inning. With one out, Gum and junior first baseman Jeff Schalk each singled, putting runners on the corners. Junior infielder Nathan Vincent recorded an RBI single, scoring Gum. Senior outfielder Ivan De Jesus replicated the previous three Blazers' efforts and plated Schalk from second. Redshirt sophomore catcher Tyler Mims then recorded an infield single. A throwing error was made in an effort to get Mims at first, allowing Vincent to cross home. On the next play, Morse hit a groundball to Charlotte junior infielder Mikal Hill. Hill misplayed the ball and two runs came home.
After cruising through the first two innings, Luna would find a challenge in the bottom of the third. After two singles and a fielder's choice, the bases were loaded for Charlotte (14-28-1, 6-16). Charlotte's Hill would hit a groundball back to Luna. Luna started a double play, getting the lead runner at home and Hill out at first. The Huntsville, Ala. native would then walk his first batter in 10.0 innings to reload the bases. Luna would record a swinging strikeout for the final out and got out unscathed.
UAB would add another run in the top of the fourth. Senior designated hitter Ryan Prinzing led off the frame with a single. Gum moved Prinzing over with a sacrifice bunt. Schalk singled to put runners on the corners for Vincent. Vincent would hit a groundball to third. Charlotte looked to turn a double play, but could not get Vincent, allowing Prinzing to score.
The Blazers kept at it in the fifth inning. Mims led off the frame with his first home run of his collegiate career. The Hoover, Ala. native sent a solo shot over the left field wall for the 10th UAB home run of the year. Morse then singled and eventually made his way to third following a UAB groundout and Charlotte wild pitch. Prinzing then hit an infield single, scoring Morse from third, and extending the Green and Gold's lead to 8-0.
Four more runs would come across in the sixth inning for UAB. With one out, De Jesus and Mims drew consecutive walks and Morse singled to load the bases for Smith. Smith recorded an RBI single and then junior outfielder Chase Davis replicated Smith's efforts to plate one more. A wild pitch would allow Morse to score and Gum then grounded out, but scored another run to put UAB ahead 12-0.
Senior right-handed pitcher Cameron Rose filled in for Luna in the seventh. Rose allowed three singles in the frame, which resulted in Charlotte's first two runs of the day.
The three-game series will come to a conclusion on Sunday afternoon in Charlotte. First pitch is scheduled for 12 p.m. CT.
Notes: The UAB baseball team was the first team to score for the 30th time this season and is 22-8 it does so … UAB has outscored its opponents 33-10 over the past five games … Each player in the UAB starting lineup had at least one hit and all but one recorded an RBI … Redshirt junior catcher Tyler Mims recorded his first home run of his collegiate career on Saturday afternoon … Redshirt junior infielder Matt Morse and redshirt sophomore outfielder Griffin Gum each matched their career-highs with three hits on the afternoon … For the second straight game, junior infielder Nathan Vincent had two RBI … Vincent has hit safely in seven straight contests.

Election night, 1997. A cold November wind blows off the East River and through the struggling blocks of East Harlem. But inside Emily's rib place on upper Fifth Avenue, a celebration is heating up to inferno levels. Phil Reed, local hero, has just been declared the winner in the election to represent the 8th District on the New York City Council.
"You did it, my man!" says assemblyman Keith Wright, smothering Reed in a bear hug. "After all these years!" Wright seems on the verge of tears, as are many of the revelers, whooping and cheering for their candidate. These are Reed's people -- men and women of every age, race, ethnicity and sexual orientation. They elected him; they're sending a gay African American with HIV into the beating heart of New York's rough-and-tumble political world to make trouble.
Trouble is Reed's specialty. He is ready to fight for more housing and better health care for his uptown, downscale district, battling what he perceives as the bottom-line values of the city's boomtown economy. "The New York City renaissance has not yet crossed north of 96th Street," he tells friends, supporters and -- now that he's elected -- constituents.
Reed won with 75 percent of the vote, a landslide in the largely minority district. True, Democrats tend to dominate New York's political arena (the current mayor is an exception), but given that a big bloc of Latino voters in Reed's district organized against him, Reed's returns are impressive. To pull in such numbers, he had to stitch together a coalition of African Americans, white liberals and enough Latino backers to tip the scale in his favor. Not easy when prominent members of the Latino community -- like State Senator Olga Mendez, whose aide, Jorge Vidro, ran against Reed in the primary -- urged Latinos to support Latino candidates. According to Mendez, the seat Reed won "was designed for a member of the East Side community." Is that another way of saying Hispanic? "No," she says. "We used to be represented by Carolyn Maloney [currently representing Manhattan in the U.S. Congress]. A politician from the West Side is not the same as a politician from the East Side." It's not like East Siders didn't have the opportunity to vote for their own: Reed's three opponents (including the one Republican) were Latino.
Reed knows that he'll have to stir the complacent, self-satisfied pot of late '90s New York to help his district, which hopscotches from Manhattan Valley to Spanish (East) Harlem to the South Bronx, one of the city's roughest neighborhoods. The rest of New York might be booming, but Reed's turf suffers 20 percent unemployment and has high rates of crime, poverty, drug abuse, teen pregnancy and AIDS. "In the good times, most people don't give a shit about social problems, but we've got life-and-death issues here," Reed says to a group of supporters at the victory party. "New infections of HIV are extremely high, and there isn't enough access to services, especially health care. We also have environmental problems that range from heavily polluting bus terminals to toxic waste sites to the highest rate of asthma in the city because of roach droppings."
This is serious business, and Reed is serious about tackling the problems. But tonight is a time for laughs, ribs and those remarkable returns that continue to come in via New York 1, an all-local-news cable channel giving continuous coverage to this otherwise ho-hum election.
"The night Phil Reed won, I was so happy that, well, wherever you can get, that's where I was!" says Rosetta Williams, a member of the Three Parks Democratic Club, a racially mixed, old-style, community-based group bonded as much by place as by politics. It is the club's first meeting since Reed's victory one week before, and the 40 or so who have gathered in a hall at the International Youth Hostel on the Upper West Side clap and cheer to congratulate him as he enters. This is Reed's political home, and Three Parks (named for Central, Riverside and Morningside parks) represents a part of the Upper West Side and Manhattan Valley -- Reed's neighborhood. "I've been working to get Phil into office all these years because I love him," Williams says. Wendy Pastor, a state legislative aide, friend and political ally, agrees. "I've watched Phil work and struggle for ten years to get here," she says, watching Reed, a polished pro, work the room with handshakes and hugs. "I can't believe he almost didn't make it to this point."
Pastor is talking about the malignancy that invaded Reed's body in 1995: Third-stage multiple myeloma, a deadly bone-marrow cancer that makes the plasma go berserk. Reed was diagnosed with HIV in 1984, and though there's no proven connection between HIV and myeloma, Reed believes they're related. Indeed, a recent article in The New York Times cited a possible link with the virus that causes Kaposi's sarcoma.
"They gave me four months. I'd thought I might die of AIDS, but not this other thing. It eats at your bones, causing holes in the skeleton until it falls down and you die," Reed says. The meeting is over, and he's back home, gulping Diet Pepsi and puffing on one of the few cigarettes he allows himself each day. Reed has always lived comfortably, and his one-bedroom apartment overlooking Central Park at 103rd Street is surely one of the finest addresses in his district. As he gazes out across the amber leaves of the park to the glittering towers of Fifth Avenue, it becomes apparent that Reed is ill-at-ease when speaking about his disease -- the myeloma, that is. "It's difficult to talk about my cancer," he says, tears welling in his eyes. Eighteen months of sickening chemotherapy followed his April 1995 diagnosis, tempered only by "all the wonderful people who ran my life for me during that time. My doctor told me to prepare for bad news, because you never have to prepare for good news," he says. Especially considering myeloma's three-year average life expectancy after diagnosis. Yet somehow, by September 1996, Reed was feeling better, and by January of last year he was back to work.
"Phil's a survivor," says Elinor Hackney -- Reed's twin sister -- speaking by phone from her Silver Spring, Maryland, home. "His own struggles with life-and-death issues, with himself and his friends, have given him an understanding of what people go through. It's left him with a real humility, a thankfulness for having what he has and accomplishing what he's been able to accomplish."
"What else did she say?" Reed asks after learning that his sister was interviewed for this article; it's almost as if he knew it wouldn't be entirely positive. And it wasn't. "Phil is quick to make judgments about a person's intellect," Hackney says candidly about Reed's less-impressive attributes. "He sometimes cuts people off before they're able to express themselves clearly. He used to do that with me, but I put a stop to it."
Hearing this, Reed smiles. He clearly knows the downside of his reputation: Difficult, arrogant, judgmental, maybe a bit quick-tempered on bad days. He's too smart not to recognize a certain attitude problem, but artful enough to use it to his advantage, even when reaching out to Latinos in East Harlem and the Bronx who didn't vote for him. "There's a great deal of tension from both sides. I've heard African Americans speaking very disparagingly of Latinos and vice-versa. Still, I am going to be the councilman, and East Harlem has to accept that," he says, his tone now shifting into that "cutoff" mode his sister described. "We all gotta work together, honey. Besides, I won East Harlem in the primary, too." True, though his narrow margin of victory in that section of the 8th District -- 220 votes -- hardly indicates a groundswell of support.
To Reed, none of this is the least bit daunting. "Philip has the arrogance to think he can make a difference," says longtime friend Jill Nelson, a New York-based writer, "and I commend him, because so many have lost that belief in themselves. No one, and nothing, will stand in Philip's way 'til he gets what he wants. Thank God he wants good things, like peace and justice." Another old friend, Tom Rhue, a college professor in Los Angeles, agrees. "Phil's got ire all right, but it's good ire. I've seen him turn it on some pretty evil people," he says.
Reed's dismantled campaign headquarters has ended up in cardboard boxes in his living room. "Now that the election's over, I'm trying to remember I live here. I want my life back for a while," he says, stacking boxes in the corner as he listens to soft jazz on the radio.
Besides politics, a big part of Reed's life is his love of jazz and R&B. "I've got millions of records. I could teach a course," he says. He makes an annual trip to the Montreal Jazz Festival. "French-Canadian boys are so adorable," says Reed, but it really is the music that he goes for. Ask him who his favorite musicians are, and he rattles off a list as if they're household names: Kenny Burrell, Cannonball Adderley. "Now, you're not going to tell me," he says, raising an eyebrow, "that you've never heard of Cannonball Adderley, are you?"
When it comes to past relationships, Reed is less forthcoming with names. "I haven't been lucky in that department. I've had my heart broken -- I'm sure we all have," he says, though he seems ready to launch a new campaign. "I'm ready and waiting for a husband, and you can print that, baby."
Kicking back in his leather recliner, Reed is a fit 48-year-old with light brown skin, wire-framed glasses and short-cropped hair that's graying and thinning. His face has an intensity that suggests struggles, both recent -- cancer, campaign -- and lifelong, though his upbringing included an apartment on Manhattan's West End Avenue, prep school in Massachusetts and a home on Martha's Vineyard that his family still maintains.
Not that there wasn't turmoil. Reed's white mother met his black father in San Francisco in 1948, "when racial issues were beginning to percolate." Since interracial marriage was against the law, they eloped to Mexico. "When my grandfather found out, he disowned my mother," Reed says.
The newlyweds continued their romantic romp through Latin America, and the Reed twins were conceived "somewhere in Central America." But their parents' relationship was short-lived: Their mother returned to New York to give birth. Reed's father died in 1966, and though Reed never met him, he had his father once pointed out to him at a party. No introductions were made. "I didn't want to talk to him," is all Reed says.
Eventually, his mother remarried. "He was a white man who was very involved with the work of Martin Luther King," Reed says. "The whole family got involved. That's how I got my taste for politics." Reed recalls the tales of civil-rights struggles in the South that he heard first-hand from the Freedom Riders who stayed at his parents' apartment. "There was a lot of energy in the late '50s and early '60s. That's when I met Dr. King," he says, opening an autographed copy of King's book, Stride Toward Freedom. "I remember being in awe when I met him. I thought, 'Here's this man doing such great stuff, and he's so personable, so pleasant.'"
Reed came of age just as the Vietnam War was intensifying. After dropping out of Ohio Wesleyan College, he received his draft notice, but Reed had no intention of going. Citing his years of work for peace and justice -- his family's favorite pastime -- he was granted "conscientious objector" status, one of the few to qualify on nonreligious grounds. "In hindsight, all I had to do was say I was gay, but I wasn't quite ready for that," he says. That's what the next phase of his life was about: Ten years in the San Francisco Bay area, where Reed rubbed shoulders with Angela Davis, Harvey Milk, Eldridge Cleaver and Jim Jones. Eventually, he went to work as a service-contract salesman for Otis Elevators, but Reed's political life also fell into place when he, Tom Rhue and other friends formed Third World Gay People Against Racism and Political Oppression. "It was a black, gay rap group -- rap as in talking," says Reed, who had the task of opening the group's checking account. "I went to the bank, trembling. It was the first time I'd done anything openly gay. But the teller was really helpful. She suggested we use our initials on the check, because the whole name wouldn't fit!" Sadly, most of the group has died of AIDS. "I used to have countless friends in San Francisco. Now I have just one friend left alive there. San Francisco is a ghost town for me," Reed says.
If Reed came to terms with his homosexuality, his mother struggled with it, despite her staunch support for civil rights. Diagnosed with terminal cancer, she moved to California. "I spent much time helping her die," says Reed, who also used the time to clear the air between them. "I just said, 'Mom, you had to leave town to marry your husband, and your father disowned you for it. Of all people, you should understand me.'"
Soon after his mother's death in 1977, Reed left San Francisco and returned to New York: "I'd stayed in the candy store a little too long," he says. Though his New York political life was less radical than the days of Third World Gay People Against Racism and Political Oppression, it was no less active. In 1984, he joined his local community board, waging his first battle in support of middle-income -- in addition to low-income -- housing in his mostly black and Latino neighborhood. "They called me a pro-development, anti-progressive 'Not In My Backyard,' but you can't stabilize a neighborhood with just poor people."
Reed left Otis Elevators, taking a pay cut, to jump-start an HIV program in Brooklyn geared to helping the community integrate mental, legal and primary-care services. "It was a prototype, the very first in the nation," he says. "It was also the most rewarding job I ever had." His first bid for city council ended in defeat in 1991, but Reed continued working on the issues that affected his district: Crime, housing, health. He helped clean up West 107th Street, a notorious drug-dealing strip. He fought to save needle-exchange programs through his work on the city's HIV Planning Council. And he won his battle over middle-income housing when construction began on Towers on the Park.
Then came the cancer disaster, followed by the chemo miracle. "My biopsy was free of cancer -- I was one of the rare people to be cured," he says. But there was a sad side to the good news, too. "On the day I found out, I went to the hospital to tell my best friend, Jesse Crawford." Tears brim in Reed's eyes. "I had to tell him I was going to live, while he lay there dying of AIDS."
Days after the election, Reed gets a chance to show what he can do. A proposed 45-unit facility for homeless people with AIDS in his area is met with the kind of opposition that seems to be the trend in Manhattan (even in liberal areas heavily hit by HIV, like Reed's district), and Reed is asked -- as councilman-elect -- to bring the divided community together to talk it out. "I went to the neighborhood's emergency meeting," he says, "and I realized that this is a meeting of the block association that I was once head of, dealing with an issue that must go before the planning commission that I once sat on, being held in a church that I worship in, in a council district that I'm about to represent, dealing with the issue of HIV, which I have."
In the flush of victory, Reed has apparently closed all his circles. But State Senator Olga Mendez accuses Reed of hiding his HIV status during his campaign. "If you have HIV, it's your obligation to tell the voters, who have a right to know that you're in good health," she says. "Phil Reed kept it quiet, and it was a devious thing to do."
Reed rejects Mendez's accusation as absurd. "My serostatus is a matter of public record. I have been publicly identified as a person with HIV in both the political and AIDS activists communities," he says. "I was put on the HIV Planning Council by Mayor Giuliani as a person with HIV."
HIV was far from the focus of his campaign, Reed is the first to admit. "I talked about my HIV infection when it was appropriate, but I wanted to draw attention to my district, not my health," he says. "People thought I was crazy when I announced I was running for office. A lot of them thought I had already died of AIDS, so we called my campaign 'Dead Man Running.'" Reed is not the city council's only member who has HIV: Tom Duane was elected more than six years ago. "Phil's going to be a great addition," Duane says. "He's very outspoken, and that's good because he has a voice that people will have to listen to."
"Phil may become the first black, gay mayor of New York," says Jill Nelson. "He has great compassion and commitment. It's from coming of age in the '60s. He's hard to beat, he perseveres, he's tenacious and won't let go if he thinks he can make a difference." Tom Rhue also sees bigger things in store for Reed. "He was always the one with talent and intellect. I keep a file on Phil because I know he's going to be a significant person," Rhue says, as if Reed has not yet achieved significance.
"I'll have to stay alive to do that," Reed says, noting that the recurrence rate for myeloma is high, not to mention the uncertainty of life with HIV. Thanks to his current saquinavir, d4T and 3TC cocktail, Reed's CD4 count is hovering around 350, and he describes his viral load as "under control. I have no idea what the future will bring, no aspirations beyond this point, except to do a good job," he says. "And, of course, to settle down and find a mate."
