Atlanta woman's luggage disappeared, returned with another person's laundry
by: Craig Lucie Updated:
ATLANTA, Ga. - A Delta Airlines passenger says her bag disappeared and when it was returned, it was full of someone else's dirty laundry.
Meaghan McCord says she was on her way to New York City to show clients some pieces of jewelry that she designed. She checked her bag and admits that she should have carried the jewelry on the plane with her, but she recently had surgery on her shoulder and didn't think she could lift her bag into the overhead bin.
When she arrived in New York City, her bag was nowhere to be found. It wasn't until three weeks later that it showed up at her door with items inside that didn't belong to her.
"I'm like that's not mine that is not mine. None of this is mine. None of this is mine! Oh and what's in this bag? Oh it's someone's dirty panties," McCord told Channel 2's Craig Lucie.
McCord wore kitchen gloves to show Lucie the other lingerie and high heels that she found inside her luggage when she finally got it back.
"I'd never wear those shoes. Are you serious? I swear they traded my stuff with a prostitute's stuff. Look! That goes all the way down to the crotch. The shoes themselves are terrible," explained McCord as she sifted through her bag.
McCord says she could also tell that someone tried on her clothes to see if they were the same size.
"When you take off tight jeans, they turn inside out so it was like somebody had gone through and sifted through what they wanted and put everything back that didn't fit them," said McCord.
Besides the missing designer clothes, the local jewelry designer says her jewelry bag was practically empty.
When McCord called Delta after filing a lost bag claim, she says she received all kinds of explanations as to why it never made it to her final destination.
"They told me that the bag was on the way, then there was car trouble and the truck was stolen," said McCord. When she heard that the courier's truck was stolen in New York City, she says she called the New York Police Department and there was no record of a truck with luggage being stolen.
When Channel 2 Action News contacted Delta Airlines, they told us that they are investigating the case. They took down Lucie's contact information, but by Tuesday afternoon, he still hadn't heard back.
McCord says a representative recently told her that it didn't appear that anything was missing from her bag when they found it.
"When I called Delta back, they
said, 'Well it weighs just about the same," explained McCord.
McCord says the airline sent her a check for
$3,400, but when she went to deposit it, it was canceled. She says the airline is now reissuing the check, but she feels like Delta owes her more since she can't replace the custom jewelry that she made.

The Tongue & Groove Big Band
Coventry & Warwickshire based professional band
The Tongue and Groove band is based in Coventry and is made up of the finest musical talent in the Midlands, with a wide-range of experience in all fields of music. Their membership includes a healthy mix of freelance classical and jazz musicians, teachers, theatre music directors and students. They don't restrict themselves to one particular style, but are flexible enough to adapt to any occasion, be it Dinner & Dance, 40′s Night, Blitz Ball, corporate function or jazz festival. In addition, as many of the band members are full-time educators, they are in a unique position to offer educational concerts and workshops. They aim to keep big-band music alive but to make it as accessible as possible to today's audience. This is reflected in their repertoire, which ranges from Glenn Miller to Amy Winehouse!
The band was formed in September 2001. It was felt that although there seemed to be a lot of big bands around the country, reflecting a significant interest and demand, most of them perform on an amateur level, playing the same tired old arrangements. T&G are committed to playing only the best quality music around, and playing it to the finest professional standards.

LYNCHBURG, Va. (AP) The Rev. Jerry Falwell's son told thousands of parishioners packed in a church Sunday that the man they remembered as a mighty force in conservative Christianity would want them to continue the work he began.
Jonathan Falwell tried to rally the tearful crowd of around 5,000 at the second of two Sunday services at Thomas Road Baptist Church, telling them that if his father were alive he "would wrap his arms around us and say 'Guys, it's going to be OK.'
"He would say, 'I have finally — I have finally — reached glory.' He would say, 'You have a world to reach,"' said Falwell, the church's executive pastor. The elder Falwell died Tuesday at age 73.
Weeping parishioners comforted each other throughout the service, becoming increasingly distraught as a video and photo montage chronicling the evangelist's life played on the church's two giant screens.
But when told Falwell was with God, they rejoiced, at one point lifting their arms to the heavens and singing.
Quoting one of his father's favorite sayings, "Nothing of eternal consequence happens apart from prayer," Falwell urged parishioners to join him on the altar to pray for his father.
"Fill this altar so that dad can look down and see that this altar that he built is full of God's people," Falwell said as hundreds left their seats to kneel behind him, some holding each other and sobbing.
After the later service, mourners lined the streets around the church and applauded as a horse drawn hearse carried Falwell's body to the sanctuary for a viewing. Falwell's grieving relatives followed his casket inside.
Parishioners filed in to view the preacher's body, which lay in a casket strewn with dozens of red roses on the church's pulpit. Falwell was dressed in a navy blue suit, a copy of the Bible pressed into his hand.
The elder Falwell had founded a fundamentalist church in an abandoned bottling plant in 1956 with just 35 members. He built it into a religious empire that included the 24,000-member Thomas Road Baptist Church, the "Old Time Gospel Hour" carried on TV stations around the country and 9,600-student Liberty University, which he founded in 1971.
The founder of the Moral Majority had made careful preparations for a transition of his leadership to Jerry Falwell Jr., vice chancellor of Liberty University, and Jonathan Falwell, who acknowledged the change in power during the service.
"There's no person alive who is more capable, more prepared, to lead Liberty University into the future than the man I call brother," he said, hugging his brother as the crowd rose for a standing ovation.
Mary North, who has been a member of the church for the past two decades, said she is confident that Falwell's work will continue through the efforts of his two sons and the dedication of the church's parishioners.
"Jonathan has a very sweet, precious spirit," she said. "Even though he's very different from his dad, he clearly is the man God put here."

I've seen and known plenty of people that could have benefited from reading this. I did not write it myself, but a woman aliased as GlassHummingbird did.
The difference between a Sub and an Empty Shell:
(This is written with "sub" as "she" and "Sir / Dom" as he, because that's just who the author was when She wrote it, and originally wrote this for herself.)
A sub has her own identity, and submits her will, love, and body to her Sir.
An empty shell has no identity, and submits herself to her Sir, expecting him to tell her who she is supposed to become.
A sub accepts the desires of her Sir, is able to have joy in her ability to follow his will, and expresses her own desires easily.
An empty shell has no desires of her own, because she has never learned how to have her own joy, if it is not given to her by others.
A sub has pride in herself and her accomplishments, because she knows she is a good, strong, worthy person.
An empty shell is only proud of herself when she is told she is allowed to be. And maybe not even then.
A sub tries to improve herself for the pleasure of her Sir, for her own benefit and life, and for the sake of the relationship.
An empty shell tries to improve herself because she desperately needs to become exactly what her Sir needs her to be.
A sub takes pride and feels joy in serving her Sir, because that is what he craves and needs, and doing well and making him happy fills her heart with love and peace.
An empty shell takes pride and feels joy in serving her Sir, because that is what he craves and needs, and doing well and making him happy soothes that part of her that constantly feels worthless.
A sub gives over the decisions to her Sir, because it gives her freedom from worry.
An empty shell gives over the decisions to her Sir, because she doesn't know what she is supposed to want.
A sub has boundaries, and is able to call Red when those boundaries are crossed.
An empty shell cannot call Red, because to do so will risk losing the person who fills her emptiness.
A sub knows that her submission is a gift, and will choose carefully to whom she gives it.
An empty shell gives her submission to the very next person - anybody who holds the right posture, be he Dom or Prick, because she cannot be alone.
A sub is able to forgive her Sir for mistakes.
An empty shell is sure that her Sir has never made a mistake - because everything that has gone wrong has been her fault.
A sub knows that she "deserves better than a Prick."
An empty shell doesn't even know she's with a Prick, because she has asked him to create her identity, and he has created her as someone who loves and venerates him.
A sub will walk away from a one-sided relationship, where she isn't getting any reward, love, or joy. She will walk away from an abusive relationship before she has even gotten within ten feet of it.
An empty shell will stay in the relationship, begging and hoping for a drop of love, because she remembers that one moment, months ago, when that drop was given - and the hope that there might be another next week, is better than the certainty that there will be none if she walks away. The thought of not being taken care of, the thought of having to make her own decisions is more terrifying than the thought of being abused.
A sub is a person whose spirit, mind, and heart are called to be of service to another person.
An empty shell is a person who needs to be needed, and who thinks that by trying to fill a role to which she is not actually called - submission - that need to be needed will be resolved

By JOSE M. ROMERO
The Philadelphia Union was flying high at halftime, up by a goal in front of another sellout crowd at PPL Park on a warm day.
But it will look back on an offisde call and a number of missed chances in re-hashing the Union's 1-1 draw with Real Salt Lake Saturday afternoon.
Fabian Espindola beat two defenders to a pass off the counter attack from Jean Alexandre, turned around Philadelphia's Carlos Valdes and fired a low shot past Faryd Mondragon in the 53rd minute to force the tie, as RSL rallied from a lackluster first half offensively and earned a point.
Keon Daniel gave the Union the lead in the 24th minute with a header for a goal, getting to a cross from Michael Farfan while being bumped by RSL defender Robbie Russell. The Union (6-3-4) moved into a tie with New York for first place in the MLS Eastern Conference at 22 points.
Philadelphia saw a goal taken off the scoreboard in the 22nd minute, as Daniel was the only possible player who could have been offside after he crossed from the touch line to Sebastien Le Toux for the score.
Le Toux's shot in the 28th minute went off the top of the goal and over it. At halftime, Philadelphia had five shots on goal to zero for Real Salt Lake.
Espindola fell going after a ball and Andy Williams was kicked in the face with the ball, typifying the kind of half it was for RSL. But the team played a much better second half.
Jamison Olave's 74th-minute header went over the goal. Real Salt Lake avoided a penalty call when the Union's Jack McInerney went down in the box, Olave making contact with him in the 79th minute.
The Union stepped up its attack in the late minutes. Danny Mwanga mis-timed his header off a cross from Justin Mapp in the 83rd minute, and the crowd of 18,728 rose to its feet as with the clock nearing 90 minutes. But Real Salt Lake held on and picked up a valuable point in the Western Conference.
RSL (6-3-3) sits in a tie for third place for the time being (with Seattle) and has only played 12 matches, compared to 15 for the Sounders, 14 for second-place FC Dallas and 16 for the L.A. Galaxy, the top team in the table. Real Salt Lake is also playing without some key players, namely Javier Morales, Paulo Jr., Alvaro Saborio, Arturo Alvarez and Will Johnson, the latter three with their nation's Gold Cup teams.
USA vs.PANAMA is in an hour guys.
Woulda been nice to have a little blurb on how Luis Gil fared against Philly's D
he did great, good touch on the ball and had good vision he put some great through balls throughout the game, physically, he was up to the standards, it's looking good for him if he can get more PT as the season progresses
Mls=amateur hour
Love the non mention on the obvious foul which led to rsl goal. Pitiful.
I was still waiting for him to call it 15 minutes later…
Not a bad goal from Espí.

Support from Management
When I worked there there wasn't much solid leadership. It was chaotic and the few supervisors on duty that did know how to lead are over worked and under appreciated.
The few of us who could work, worked as a team and did our best to please customers and eachother to keep the moral high/level.
Not much communication to keep the moral and chaos balanced. It's only about the I caps that makes the managers happy. Everything else seems irrelevant to them.

Back to Bruges
Cars travelled rarely on the roads and Christophe soared in the open-top beast.
"As you can see," he called to Lawrence over the roar of engine and winds, "I like to think of myself of having some knowledge of the new technology."
"What do you do if this breaks down?"
Christophe pondered the fact of the occurrence that he hadn't yet thought about.
"I don't know!" he yelped with a laugh.
They drove onwards, but said nothing more. Christophe concerned himself with trying to drive safely, whilst Lawrence, he noticed, did not appear as shell-shocked as first he had. The time whizzed past; Christophe lost track of the minutes, infinite calculations in his mind. Something didn't up and it confused him to the point of distraction.
With a split mind – on the spiralling road and the puzzle of the enigmatic man – Christophe drove onwards, almost relieved when he came to encounter the spurts of roads, the overlapping unease of the towns that Belgium clutched. Everywhere, people merged into the buildings, popping to and fro in an instant, and those buildings allowed them to run like ants. They were passengers in the fray.
Travellers rattled back and forth, but, for the grand majority, Belgium and Bruges belonged to its inhabitants. Hotels did not outnumber forked roofs of homes, though the former were, by far, more of a monument than the routine growths.
Reminded, Christophe slowed to allow a carriage to pass, and turned to Lawrence in the created space.
"Where are you staying? I can drive you to Bruges' square, but no further."
"This isn't your motor," Lawrence said in understanding. "I shall be taking residence up in Bruges, too," he added, as an afterthought. "I'll happily be dropped off at the square."
By then, the low density of the trees and the subsequent increase in noise told that their destination they neared. France, however, possessed more hustle and bustle. All this noise was mundane to Christophe and he pursed his lips to it.
Christophe let himself into the cluttered street-house, and wandered up to his bedroom. He scrawled 'Lawrence Woodcock' onto a piece of spare paper that Georges had left for him for such a purpose, and collapsed into the wicker armchair, its creak reminiscing with him about those quiet moments of French wilderness, before any worry about work. Christophe had happily helped his mother, Patrice, with her artistry, but they could garner no money from that occupation. He was too old for being a servant to family matters. Childhood's disappearance was an additional puzzle that he dared not yet solve. There would be time in the future to think about childhood.
Dazed – and lost in pleasant thoughts of a home that had travelled with him in scattered parts, but that had mostly rebelled at his egress – Christophe positioned himself upon the art of his bed and slowly slid into a sleep full of unanswerable questions.

Journey of Discovery takes Land Rovers 8,000 miles from Birmingham to Beijing [Videos]
This epic roadtrip was to celebrate the building of the one millionth Land Rover Discovery. Land Rover thought a journey of this magnitude would show the world the amazing versatility and capability of their vehicles, and they took along the special one millionth Land Rover Discovery!
The Birmingham to Beijing journey revealed some unique and fascinating stories. Birmingham, UK is the birthplace of Land Rover and Beijing China represents an important new market. The journey will passed through 13 countries which included the UK, France, Switzerland, Italy, Austria, Hungary, Ukraine, Russia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and obviously China.
The aim of the roadtrip is charitable though, as it is raising £1 million British pounds ($2.6 million US dollars) for the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies.
"Yeah, we've made it," crackled a voice over the radio, speaking with much relief after a harrowing 72 hours of driving in one of the world's most remote and rugged regions of China. For one of the most epic and ambitious roadtrips, this was a truly epic moment.
The high-alpine pass, which the team of four Land Rovers needed to pass through, in China had been blocked by snow for days. The pass was impossible to get through even to the hardiest of off-road vehicles. With no other route through, the team's target, the bright lights of the Beijing Motor Show, was slipping away and the clock was ticking down.
It was with a justifiable cry of relief, then, that China finally rolled beneath the wheels of the four Land Rovers on the Journey of Discovery. Then the 13-country epic roadtrip of urban and off-road destinations, which showed the fascinating diversity of the world we live in, was on the home straight at last.
It was ironic, too, that the very thing that had been blocking the path into China had been directly related to the very first thing that the team had run into on this 'Journey of Discovery'.
After rolling out of the Geneva Motor Show, the first stop for the team was the Aosta Valley. There the team joined-up with experts from the Pila resort to discover the technique to protecting the slopes from avalanches. Polar explorer Ben Saunders and cameraman Johno Verity,an avalanche survivor, watched as the kaboom of 20kg of explosives triggered a perfectly controlled avalanche, removing a threatening snow cornice before it become a danger to the team.
It was a dramatic start to a epic journey, and after a stint of ice driving in Austria and a tour of the cultural European cities of Milan, Saltsburg, Vienna and Budapest, which included traveling with a police escort through Heroes Square. The Land Rover soldiered on to even more gritty stuff, as the first week ended with a haunting trip to Chernobyl.

For the second gig of the Ibiza Rocks 2012 season, we're treated to two performers born in Hackney, East London – Maverick Sabre with support from Labrinth – although Maverick spent most of his formative years growing up in Ireland. Neither are Ibiza Rocks virgins, having had support slots in 2011 – Labrinth with Chase and Status and Maverick with Tinie Tampah.
So Doorly the DJ announces Labrinth saying "if you haven't seen this band before you're going to be blown away" – I hope he's right! Watching them from my bird's-eye view from the balcony before they go onstage, they're hyper and ready to go.
Labrinth is joined onstage by a 4-piece band – drummer, keys, bass guitar and someone in the background mixing. Labrinth also occasionally plays guitar and synth as well throughout the set. When he plays guitar, the tracks have a noticeably more rocky edge, which I like.
The second number is a cover of Express Yourself, a soul classic originally recorded by Charlie Wright and the Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band, and more recently covered by N.W.A., which it turns out is the latest single, released at the beginning of May. That gets me dancing! Meanwhile a couple of bats have joined in the party, and are flying around in circles in front of the balcony.
Labrinth's music is a fusion of soul, funk, drum and bass and rock, and it's perfect for Ibiza Rocks. The crowd is loving it, and are jumping up and down for most of the set, egged on by Labrinth, although they don't seem to need much encouragement. A great warm up act – they've set the bar high, and I suspect that they are going to be a hard act to follow. They could have headlined and everyone would have been happy!
'Let the sun shine' the first solo single (and very apt for Ibiza) went down well, and was the closing number. But they're soon back onstage to do an encore. The noise in the place is deafening. The crowd by now is whipped into a frenzy. The atmosphere is electric and Ibiza Rocks is truly rocking!
Maverick Sabre comes onstage just after 23.00. Immediately the music is noticeably much more mellow than Labrinth's. He's accompanied onstage by a 4-piece band and a female backing singer. There's a much more soulful vibe. I know it's not good to make comparisons to other artists, but from where I am on the balcony his voice sounds a lot like Finley Quaye. The crowd is grooving and watching his every move onstage, but they're not as ecstatic as they were earlier.
Maverick has an almost unassuming presence on stage, wearing a casual ensemble of baggy shorts, T Shirt and trainers, but he paces around the stage and works his audience to good effect. The backing singer has an amazing voice and a great stage presence. To be honest, I'm watching her more. A few more songs in and Maverick announces it's her birthday, and leads the crowd in singing happy birthday to her. They play the new single – it has an anthemic quality. The crowd roars in appreciation. And another great night at Ibiza Rocks comes to an end.

Pomeranian "Andy" stolen from White Center woman
The King County Sheriff's Office is trying to help a White Center woman who's husband recently passed away recover her Pomeranian who was stolen from the White Center Bartell's on May 19 around 5 p.m.
Here are the details from KCSO Sgt. Cindi West:
On May 19th around 5pm a small black Pomeranian named Andy was stolen from the Bartell's Drug Store at 9600 15 Av Sw. The dog's owner went into the store to get a prescription filled. Bartell's would not allow Andy in the store so the owner tied him up outside and when she came out Andy was gone. Our victim is a White Center resident who adopted the dog after her husband passed away. Needless to say Andy is her companion and she is devastated.
At this point priority is to get the dog back. If you have Andy or know where he is please call Sgt. Cindi West from the King County Sheriff's Office at 206-255-0778.
No questions will be asked if the dog is returned safely.
Here is what the owner posted and a video of the teen and woman who were seen getting on the bus with Andy.
Time is of the essence, My boy was stolen May 19, 2013.
Please put his picture and show the Bartell's video on TV so the public can assist ID the suspects. You are welcome to sight the youtube video at http://stolenpom.wordpress.com/ in your plea to get my boy back.
It has all the info with the KC Case # as well as my contact #.
My boy has been my aid for my health and I need him back.

Can vendors see other vendors from whom I have requested quote and how much?
6 Replies
Jul 10, 2012 at 9:57 UTC
Hi Matthew the quote will only go to the vendors you choose,
Jul 10, 2012 at 10:12 UTC
But will the vendors I choose be able to see anything about the other vendors I choose?
Jul 10, 2012 at 10:21 UTC
I think that what he wants to know is if the vendors can tell that you are requesting quotes from other vendors (ex. if the email to them shows all recipients), and if they can tell, how much information can they see?
Jul 10, 2012 at 10:39 UTC
That is exactly right.
Jul 11, 2012 at 2:18 UTC
Im curious about this myself, i know they can see something because my CDW rep mentioned seeing a reply from PC Connection..... Kinda caught me off gaurd. It would be nice to know if they can all see what the others come back with.
Jul 11, 2012 at 2:49 UTC
While my contact at Insight did not mention he saw the other quotes, he did contact me of Spiceworks wondering why I was bidding him out. This sparked the question.

I have a degree from ASU, it's a BFA. Now I'm moving towards my masters, but I still try to get out and do stuff. I'm told I'm a nice guy by most people.
I am 32 lbs less than I was in my last picture and removed a large amount of my facial hair.
I like to swim, I draw every now and then and do 3D animation. I'd like to start a small business printing out 3D models and designs on my 3D-printer. I am passionate about metal working and blacksmithing. I love to paintball, to play video games, I watch movies and like a lot of cartoons and anime. I speak a little Japanese, Spanish and have learned a bit of Russian in the last month.
I love to travel and have been to China, and Mexico. I love the colors green and purple.
I'm surprisingly an alright cook, I just started learning. And thus far I haven't killed anyone with my food so that's good? No but seriously I want a bigger kitchen so I can experiment more.
I'm the only guy I know with no tattoos, what's up with that?
I am awful at text centric communication! But talk to me, and you will see where my personality is.
Books - The Count of Monte Cristo. The Hitchhikers' Guide to the Galaxy books. Anything related to Enders' game.
Cartoons - Wal-e, Futurama. Ask and I have seen it but didn't feel like listing it. I like most anime.
Games - Legends Of Zelda, Borderlands2, ARK, the gaming essentials as some might say. Also ive been trying to get into LoL, DotA and eso.
Movies - Fight Club, Across the Universe, Army of Darkness, Evil Dead 2, Pan's Labyrinth, Enemy at the Gates, Grandmas' Boy, Fifth Element, Monty Python and The Quest for the Holy Grail, Interview with a Vampire, Big Lebowski, WallE, Shawshank Redemption, anything good really.
I might be a bit of a movie nut. I also like comics and comic movies.
Oh and food... I like it all for the most part. If I had to choose though I'd say Sushi and Chinese food are the best. Then again I do love Thai... Can't forget good old Italian too... Well crap now I'm hungry...
How I fail at puns.
I heard the origin of the diamond ring was so lovers could carve messages in each others windows. Why did that stop being a thing?
My two awesome kitties.
Oh movies are fun too!
I also hangout with my brother a lot, because family is good!
I have a limp ask about the story in person, it's kind of long, but I'm proud of how I got it.
I hope you feel bad!
Tacos are amazing!
See You Space Cowboy...

This property is difficult to locate and the staff was unable to provide directions from the airport. The rooms are beautifully restored. However, parking is non-existent and requires walking for several blocks on what seems to be less-than-safe dark streets. Additionally, when the office is closed, all easy to access doors are locked, you must navigate treacherous steps that again are not well-lit. No convenient restaurants after 7pm. Several glass window slats were missing from the windows which allowed street noise to overwhelm my room. Hot water was only warm and had low pressure. After the stay, it was practically impossible to get a copy of my receipt.

The Patrick Administration's Massachusetts Commission for the Blind (MCB) recently celebrated its eleventh year of the MCB Summer Internship Program, as well as the 77 summer interns who participated in this year's program during a ceremony at the Massachusetts State House's Great Hall of Flags.
The nationally recognized Summer Internship Program connects MCB consumer students or individuals looking to re-enter the workforce with competitive internship positions throughout the Commonwealth and the opportunity to develop professional skills in real-world settings.
In 2009, Governor Deval Patrick signed an Executive Order to make Massachusetts a model employer of people with disabilities, and this internship program is a critical part of ensuring access to opportunities that develop professional skills that lead to economic self-sufficiency.
"MCB is committed to providing internship opportunities, not only for the traditional college-age intern, but also for the experienced professional re-entering the workforce. This program is an excellent example of how collaborations between public and private partners can be mutually beneficial. As 2014 was my first experience with the MCB Internship program, I now understand why it's considered to be one of the best nationally recognized models for Transition."
~ MCB Commissioner Paul Saner
The MCB internship program is a national model that has been replicated in several states. The participating students spent eight weeks gaining experience working for media outlets, hospitals, private companies, colleges and universities, public agencies and elected officials.
Secretary of State William F. Galvin received an award during the ceremony for his work in hiring interns and consumers of MCB.
"The Commission for the Blind's Summer Internship program has been an opportunity for us to obtain talented employees who are valued by our office. The partnership with the Commission has worked well for a decade and I look forward to the relationship continuing in the future."
~ Secretary Galvin
The audience also heard from Alexander Moore, a senior at the Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts, who recently completed his internship at Mount Wachusett Community College (MWCC). "I have been fortunate to get some real hands-on experience like writing press releases, articles, and blogs, which I hope to use as I pursue a career in the marketing and communications industry," said Moore. "Mount Wachusett Community College was delighted to participate in MCB's successful and highly-organized internship program," said MWCC Director of Public Relations Janice O'Connor, who spoke at the ceremony. "Our intern gained practical, career-related experience in a professional work setting, and the partnership with the MCB represented a tremendous learning opportunity for us as well. We are fortunate to live in a time where technology and adaptive equipment allows for seamless collaboration on projects. We benefited greatly from Alexander's contributions."
Pete Gustin, a voice over artist who is legally blind, delivered the keynote address at the ceremony. He has done promos and voice overs for television spots, commercials, and movie trailers. Gustin talked about how he "came out" after hiding his disability from those in his field of work for 15 years. Diagnosed with macular degeneration when he was eight years old, Pete's story is an inspiring one about confidence, dedication, and perseverance.
More than 200 people joined the celebration and shared the interns' success. MCB Commissioner Saner presented certificates of appreciation to each intern and their employer. Commissioner Saner and MCB Deputy Commissioner John Oliveira also presented the fifth "Reach for the Stars Leadership Award" to two interns who received a $2,000 and $1,000 scholarship award for their education. These awards recognize the outstanding accomplishments and potential of these MCB interns.
Recipients of the Reach for the Stars Leadership Awards are:
- Syed Mahmud Rizvi, Longmeadow
- John Dale, Malden
About the Massachusetts Commission for the Blind (MCB)

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
Minni: It is changing shoes that caused my present woes! I knew full well that running in low heeled shoes cuased my calves to tighten up, but had got away with it up to 1/2M and decided to try it in a full marathon with the resulting problems! Have been running a little, 10 miles on Sunday and went to club run last night, all was well until I stepped up about 3 gears and started running at about 6.5 min/miles when it all started to stiffen up so dropped to a trot and went home after 5 miles. Feel fine today but have given it a rest and cycled pre dawn, swam at lunchtime. Seeing physio on Sunday, this is a new one as he was highly recommended and my previous physio left Dubai.
good luck with the dog and the race, almost tempting
2 sessions to report today.
Last night: plan was 7 miles genral aerobic including 6 x 100m strides. We had a coach at the club last night and he had planned 4 x 1 mile @ 10k pace with 2 minute recovery. I had a 12 mile to do this morning so didn't want to push it. I ended up with 7 miles @ 8.51 pace and used the mile reps to do my 100m strides. All sounds ok? No not really. I found the whole session hard and finished feeling sick with stomach cramps again, and needing to make a dash to the loo! I'd taken care to make sure I ate well yesterday - cereal for breakfast, baked potato with tuna for lunch, a cheese sandwich an hour before the session and I was well hydrated. I felt much better a couple of hours later.
This morning - Plan was 12 miles mid/long run at 8.20 pace. I started feeling a bit nervous after last night and forgot to take water!! I literally ran 6 miles out and 6 back. Average 8.25, and managed the second half quicker than the first (I'm constantly aware of the negative split etc). The main problem this morning was the wind - The pace up one particular hill was 30 seconds quicker going up than when I'd run down it with a head wind! Splits - 8.51; 8.21; 8.37; 8.26; 8.41 (this was the downhill!); 8.37; 8.12; 7.59; 8.16; 8.20; 8.09; 8.24. I felt a bit sick when I finished but once I'd had a drink and something to eat I felt fine.
I listened to 'Marathon Talk' with a interview with Liz McColgan - what a runner! On marathon training she said she ran all her LSRs at 5.XX pace.....!
Minni well done for getting out there and hitting your targets today, what do you think was the real problem last night?
I suspect that you shy away from the thought of intervals, IMO you are going to have to start on occasion doing back to back hard sessions, to me a 4 x 1 Mile at 10K pace off 2 mins followed by the next day by 12 at MP + 20 secs isn't a particularly hard couple of sessions. You are going to have to start putting in those intervals at some point.
My marathon times didn't improve until I started doing regular speed work, its simply essential to teach you to feel the pace, i can't go on about it enough you have to be able to run 8 min/miles comfortably by feel.
AA: Today was the first day I felt that I had just about recovered from Dubai, a) I ran 13K without my calves tightening b) I put in 6 x 800 off 2 min recoveries in the middle they were all in the 3 to 3-05 bracket or sub 4 min/K pace and that tells me I'm at about 42 min 10K fitness.
MM: Liz Yelling is a top lady, there are some of her ex club mates here in Dubai they all speak very higly of her.
Mr Spoons - I always used to do a slow recovery run on a Monday after a long Sunday run, so far this year I have followed the schedule and rested. Usually I would do an easy 5 miles on the Saturday, having decided to do long runs on a Saturday now, I will do the 5 miles as a recovery on Sunday instead. Hopefully, then the legs will be fresher by Tuesday.
Minni, I understand your difficulties with intervals/speed, that's why I hate 10kms so much, I'm always thinking, why am I running this?! I haven't been to my club for a while due to work, but intend to head along next week, it's definately easier to push yourself harder when running with others.
D.D - interesting what you say about doing back to back hard sessions, I've always worried about the possibility of injury with this? Tonight's schedule for me is the medium long run - can I just check what pace I should be aiming for with medium long runs? I'd read in P&D that medium long runs should be run at a similar pace to long runs. Also I plan to do my 10 miles LT tomorrow night instead of Friday as this fits in better for me - I had been concerned this may be too much back to back?
Any advice much appreciated, this is the first year that I have mixed up my marathon training a bit between 2 schedules (Runner's world and P&D), am just worried about over doing it or not running at the correct pace to get the best out of a session!
Time to hit the pavement
Last night was a recovery with 10 x 100 strides and I wanted to stick to the schedule; I would have struggled with the hilly mile reps anyway because of how I was feeling. I've been like this before when marathon training: dodgy tummy, feeling sick etc and it must be down to diet. I eat healthily and don't eat much crap anyway, but I think I need to increase the calories, or rather carbs, when I'm doing this sort of training. I've changed from a sandwich to baked potato for lunch etc. The problem is the more training I do the less I want to eat carbs and sometimes even the thought of bread, potato or pasta makes me feel sick. Last night all I could feel was the potato that I'd had about 1pm sitting in my stomach.
Kiwi - My pace for medium long run is 8.20, long run 8.50.
Like kiwi, I'm concerned that doing 2 hard back to back sessions will bring on injury. The P & D book talks about always following a hard day with an easier one. I know runners who are doing high mileage will do session after session but what kind of back to back sessions are good for us who are running about 50 miles per week?
Minni / Kiwi: Medium long runs should probably be at about the same pace as your long runs. Personally I don't see a problem with a LT run (hopefully you should be doing the 5 miles of LT at around 1/2M pace) being followed by a medium long run. In my case this would mean I had done 5 miles at somewhere close to 7 min/mile pace followed the next day by 12 or so at 8-30 min/mile. What that shows is that your long run pace is a lot slower than 1/2M pace and therefore a lot less stressful. recovery runs are so slow as to be actually quite dificult to slow down that much.
I would be concerned if you were doing interval sessions on sucessive days, but a tempo run followed or proceeded by intervals should be OK. 50 mile weeks is not exactly low mileage is not high but its more than enough for marathon running. P & D does indeed have a easy day / hard day approach and in general that is a sensible approach, however the point I'm trying to make is a) schedules are not cast in stone b) P & D actually doesn't have much in the way of intervals in the schedules and this IMO is their one weakness. c) So if you accept that intervals are needed at some point you have to make room for them and this will mean back to back hardish days. Injury is always lurking and we are all one stride from injury, but with sensible warm ups Injuries can be minimised. I wouldn't dream of doing intervals without at least a 2 mile warm up slow accelerating throughout.
Kiwi: you will learn more about racing and pacing doing 10K's than anywhere else, its the perfect mix of speed and endurance. Just remember that the pain in a 10K only lasts for about 2K or 8 minutes or so, in a marathon it can be 5 miles or 45 minutes! Race 10Ks well and they will teach you pacing, negative splits and tactics, plus its all over in 40 mins, further advantage is you don't need much recovery and can race them weekly if you want.
Right! I have been on the treadmill and done some of those blooming 800m reps! My schedule has them starting in two weeks time at 5 x 800. So, with this in mind I did 3, then I can do 4 next week and 5 the next. The session was 2.5k warm up followed by 3 x 800m @ 6.54 m/m pace the a cool down. Seriously, I would struggle to run them any faster on the treadmill but would hope to be a bit faster outdoors.
Tomorrow is 10 miles with 6 @ LT. Its blowing a hooley out there and we had a touch of snow this morning - I hope its calmer tomorrow.
Well done on getting stuck into the intervals Minni!
Just been catching up after a patch of being horrendously busy with work, which unfortunately has also been affecting the amount of running I can do. I think I'm going to have to bite the bullet and start running home, although I don't enjoy running with a backpack on at all. Minni, I hope it's okay to ask a question on your thread but I was wondering if there's any sessions I should avoid if I'm running with a backpack, e.g. is it okay for a medium long run but not good for intervals?
On the diet thing it's worth experimenting a bit, too much fibre can cause problems or too much dairy for some people. Haven't really sussed it myself though other than knowing I need to leave at least 2 hours after a meal before running.
Minni: well done for doing intervals, that pace (which equates to 4-16 min/K's cos I think in K's) is quite quick for starters, I would try nearer 4-30 min/K pace 7-12 min/miles. How much recovery did you allow? They will definitely be easier outdoors, i really struggle to run reps on a treadmill plus you are never sure how accurate the pace is. Did you have the tready on a incline?
Becs: i Know people who run all their runs with a backpack, I have no idea why! Personally i wouldn't run intervals with a backpack why make life hard for yourself? A well fitting rucksack is almost unnoticeable, does yours have a waist band and a strap across the chest to stop it moving around?
I raced 10K and unsurprisingly got beaten by Faris Al Sultan the 2005 Ironman world champion, 9th in 2010! Still got a sneaky PB though 41-24.
BecsA what Dave said re backpacks. Chest and waist strap essential to keep it still and I wouldn't do intervals. I've run a lot with a backpack off road and there's something almost comforting about it! It would be great for you to run home from work if things are hectic and at lease you know you're getting it in. It's also a great stress buster.
Fibre - I hadn't thought of that but will. Thinking about it I do have quite a high fibre diet and that could just the it!
DD Well done on the PB! 41.24 - very impressive and if you're going to get beaten then best to get beaten by a world champion! Did you ask him for any tips afterwards .
Intervals - I allowed a 2 minute recovery and I had a 2 percent incline. I chose 13.9kph (6.54 m/p) because I was trying to get them a tad under the 7 m/m. Based on the Yasso theory this would still be too slow! The first 400 of each rep felt fine but the second 400 felt hard and I was overheating big time. Next week I'll slow it down a bit for the 4 and see if that's better.... although should it not feel really hard?
hey Chickadeee, welcome to the dark side! We all want to be as fast as DD.....
LT run was, er, interesting to say the least. We also have gale force winds and I'd chosen* an out and back route up a valley. Needless to say the wind was head on for half of it. So, 2.25m warm up then 6 miles: 8.02; 9.34; 10.35; 7.18; 6.26; 6.26; followed by 2.85 warm down. 11 in total. Can you guess which half was into the wind and which had the wind behind?!!!!
* I hadn't actually chosen the route - my man Friday did. He has kinda taken over the LT sessions and plans them for me and runs them with me. Perfect!
Hi all,
spin session here tonight. Well done DD on your 10km race, oh to be able to run that fast!
Managed 7 miles last night with 5 at LT, a bit shy of 7:30m/m though, still working on that pace.
20 miles planned for tomorrow am, recovery run Sunday. Hoping those winds die down tonight!
Good luck for all your long runs
Good point MM!
I am not blowing my own trumpet in any way but..... I have a busy life. I have two kids who are at the age that they need taken places to enable them to partake in their own activities. I run my own business (2 in fact) as does my husband (2 also). I work long hours and always make sure I fulfill my childrens needs before I think about running. However, I make sure I fit the running in. Although running my own business means I work long hours I can also be slightly flexible. For example, I changed my full day off this week (and next) in favour of 2 half days so that I can get 2 of my key runs in. I know seren nos also has a full on life (I read that profile thingy) and she achieves loads. And, we are both active on our forums.
Being chosen as a Forum six has, so far, been great for me. I feel obliged to tick the sessions off and report back - good or bad. DD has been banging on about these intervals and hey, what do you know, its starting to sink in, and I did them last night.
I think I have gone slightly OCD but what the hell - if it gets the job done!
Sometime I have to sneak on here to report (family saying I'm obsessed...!) and I always read the sub 3.15 thread and others. Marathon training can be quite lonely but these forums make you feel like your part of something bigger.
Now back to the wine.... .
DD congrats on the PB.
Thanks all for the advice on running with backpacks. I've actually not tried running with the backpack I've got now (which only has a waist strap as at the time I couldn't find one with both, but fits quite well) but disliked the old one a lot as it just felt heavy plus the zip used to come undone and I'd start dropping my clothes down the street . I think it's going to be the way forward though in being able to fit more running in so will try the one I've got and if it doesn't work shop around for another one.
I think we're due the gale force winds here tomorrow.
Minni: Nice LT run. hey if you get a down wind marathon your on for sub 3 ! Don't see how you think 6-54 mins miles doesn't fit the yasso theory. Yasso says run intervals of 800 metres in your marathon time i.e 3-30 in minutes and seconds .... So a 3 minute 30 second 800 metres = 4 mins 22 seconds Km or a 7 minute 03 second mile, he then goes on to say you should have a 3 minute 30 second jogged recovery.
Conventional wisdom is 1% incline to counteract the foot being drawn back by the belt. The real trouble with tready's is that the speed can be way out either way. I reckon the one I use in the gym is quicker than it says and my own is slower than it says and that is based on how paces feel on the track.
Chick: Nice to see you here
Becs: You get used to backpacks quick enough as long as they don't bounce around, if you use one wit a hydration bladder suck out the air before you run and then the water doesn't slosh around. I have run 150K ultras with a pack and the sloshing was the most annoying bit!
Minni: do you dare stop posting!
Thanks for the well dones, i'm just back from camping in the desert, very windy and quite cold last night, have just showered the whole family and now we have a beach in the bath

Purchased auto in October, 2012. Bought car in for maintenance after 2000 miles. They did not change the oil (actually they did very little) and told me to return when the car has 10,000 mile or one year from purchase. Now after 5,000, the Maintenance Requirement light came on and will not go off until they turn it off. Still 5,000 mile short of the 10,000 they suggested. Do I have to drive 35...
I had scheduled a oil change and tire rotation and waited 3 hour for them to complete.

Depth won't be a problem in 2010. Mainstays Luis Castillo and Jacques Cesaire remain; Travis Johnson, Alfonso Boone, Ian Scott and Antonio Garay come back for another go-round; Ryon Bingham and Ogemdi Nwagbuo return from I.R.; and Vaughn Martin resumes his role as the X-factor.
That makes nine bodies to fill seven spots on the depth chart, a crowd that is likely to become even denser after draft day.
DLs Ogemdi Nwagbuo, Andre Coleman and Vaughn Martin.
Shana Siler/SDBoltReport.com
No matter which rookie comes on board, he will have to battle for playing time.
Here's the early forecast with training camp still five months away:
Locked and Loaded: Luis Castillo, Jacques Cesaire, Ryon Bingham
Castillo's contract runs through 2014 -- no Charger is under contract for longer. Cesaire enters his eighth year with the team and continues to earn rave reviews for his toughness and tenacity. And Bingham, although largely forgotten last year when he missed the season with a biceps injury, is seen as an ascending player who can provide valuable snaps at every spot along the line.
Seemingly Safe: Travis Johnson; Alfonso Boone, Ogemdi Nwagbuo
Johnson is still a restricted free agent, although his first-round tender means he will be a Charger at least through training camp. He must prove he can stay healthy if he hopes to stick around beyond that. Boone exceeded expectations last season and can keep his linebackers clean for 20-25 snaps per game. Nwagbuo was another surprise player until an ankle injury ended his season after Week 13; he figures to be the go-to nose tackle in passing situations.
Bubble Boys: Ian Scott, Antonio Garay, Vaughn Martin
Scott was a lifesaver as the team's nose tackle down the stretch last season, but he has limited upside and will likely be pushed out if a talented rookie is added to the mix. Garay is an improving player and a favorite of defensive coordinator Ron Rivera, but lacks the combination of skills and experienced possessed by the players in front of him. Martin improved by leaps and bounds last year, but he'll have to do the same in 2010 if he hopes to stay in the rotation.

High Energy Theory Seminar- Kristan Jensen, Stony Brook, Galilean fields in curved spacetime
I will discuss various aspects of non-relativistic field theories on a curved, background spacetime. First things first, we need to know what sort of geometry these theories couple to, as well as the symmetries we ought to impose. I will argue that Galilean-invariant theories should be coupled to a form of Newton-Cartan geometry in which one enforces a one-form shift symmetry, which amounts to a covariant version of invariance under Galilean boosts. I will focus on two main applications of this result, namely consequences of these symmetries at nonzero temperature and an introductory analysis of t Hooft anomalies.

Add Lemons and Limes to Your Day
Limes and lemons are zesty little fruit that like to grow in warm climates. They are aromatic and refreshing, and host a world of immune properties. They are both excellent sources of vitamin C, B6, potassium, folic acid, flavonoids and the outstanding phytochemical, limonene. Limonene has anti-cancer effects and helps increase the level of enzymes that detoxify carcinogens.
Lemons and limes are also an excellent source of vitamin C, one of the most important antioxidants in nature. Vitamin C is one of the main antioxidants found in food and the primary water-soluble antioxidant in the body. Vitamin C travels through the body neutralizing any free radicals like a little super hero. I sneak extra lime and lemon into my diet by squeezing some directly into ice-cold mineral water. A sprig of mint adds a twist.
Trouble with Heartburn?
All you pregnant ladies out there pay attention. It seems like the acidity in citrus fruit might exacerbate a problem with your tummy, but it turns out that adding two teaspoons of fresh lime/lemon juice into a glass of warm water can help relieve heartburn. If your sweet tooth insists it would like some attention, try adding some honey, although I've heard that pregnant women should avoid raw honey.
Need ideas at dinnertime?
Lemons and limes are used as an ingredient in a variety of dishes and their juice can commonly be found in salad dressings and squeezed over cooked meat or vegetables. Why not try adding some fresh lime or lemon juice to your steamed veggies? My entire family loves broccoli with a little lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Even my 10 month old appreciates the enhanced flavor of foods seasoned with a little citrus.
Another idea, put some chicken breasts in tinfoil, squeeze one lemon over the top. Add sliced onions, garlic, a little olive oil or butter, some salt and pepper, and an herb of your choice (I like basil). Close foil into a pouch, and place in a baking pan, bake at 350 for 25-35 min. The foil keeps the chicken moist and the lemon infuses so much flavor. For some extra twang, try adding several spoonfuls of capers…easy chicken piccata!
Easy to keep on hand
Limes and lemons can be stored in the fridge for up to two weeks. Although they can actually keep longer, they tend to lose their flavor over time. Another way to ensure you always have fresh juice is to freeze it in ice cube trays. The cubes make a refreshing addition to water, soda, juice, and even cosmopolitans and Hefeweizens!
The sweet and the sour of lemons/limes are practically essential for summer. Since they don't grow readily in our Puget Sound climate, remember to shop Full Circle's Green Grocer and add some to your next delivery…we get them direct from California, and they are organic!
Let us know how you like to cook with or simply enjoy fresh limes and lemons by leaving a comment below.

Dear Mr. Cigar,
Thank you for contacting me about the economic stabilization legislation recently passed into law. As you can imagine, I have received a large volume of letters and calls and look forward to having a chance to respond. I appreciate the valuable input I have received over the past several weeks from my fellow Oklahomans on this issue.
After hearing the concerns of my fellow Oklahomans who were angry and suspicious of this proposal and the anxiety of other Oklahomans who were concerned about the consequences of failing to pass this recovery bill, I struggled with what was best both for taxpayers and the economic future of our nation, our children, and our grandchildren. After much consultation and consideration, I decided to vote for the plan.
Our country finds itself in the midst of difficult economic circumstances due to tremendous strain on worldwide financial markets. I believe the challenges created by this situation are so great that failure to address them could spill over into the broader economy and negatively affect every American.
In recent months, the Treasury Department and the Federal Reserve have attempted to address the situation through arrangements with Bear Stearns, insurer AIG, and Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. While many Oklahomans are rightly uncomfortable with bailing out large banks and corporations at the expense of taxpayers, the purpose of the legislation was to protect ordinary Americans and not Wall Street executives. The economic stabilization bill addresses a different problem in a different way, and is just a set of tools that can prevent a worsening crisis for Oklahoma citizens.
As a staunch advocate for free enterprise and the elimination of wasteful government spending, many have wondered why I chose to support this legislation. To answer that question, it is important to know how we have gotten to this point.
Plummeting home values have left many homeowners with mortgages that exceed the market value of their homes, making it uneconomical for them to sell and making it impossible to refinance their adjustable rate mortgages into more affordable loans. As a result, many people have become delinquent on their mortgages and, in many cases, have entered foreclosure.
The financial institutions holding those troubled mortgages have, in turn, found themselves unable to collect on those mortgages or resell them to other investors. Because these assets cannot be liquidated, the banks holding them have significantly cut back on the amount of money they lend as they try to preserve their capital. This in turn is severely restricting the amount of money that Americans can borrow.
Families and businesses alike rely heavily on financial markets. Families borrow to purchase cars, appliances, furniture, and other consumer items. Businesses borrow for various essential reasons as well-for everything from overcoming short-term cash flow problems to investing in new equipment or new ideas. A collapse of the financial markets would prevent consumers and businesses from getting the funds they need to consume and invest-undermining two key drivers of the U.S. economy.
What is missing from this account is the role Congress played in creating these economic troubles in the first place. For years, Congress pursued "affordable housing" policies with the goal of providing loans (subprime loans) to borrowers that could not pay them back. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac - companies charted by Congress - encouraged banks to make subprime loans by purchasing the loans from banks and turning them into investments. Investors believed that the mortgage-backed investments were a safe investment because of the implied backing of the federal government and purchased them in great amounts.
These policies, along with low interest rates, pushed housing prices artificially high and created the often discussed housing price bubble that could not be sustained in the long run. Once the housing bubble burst and prices declined, investors were left with mortgage-backed investments that were worth less than their face value, and because of an accounting rule (mark to market) financial institutions had to value them far below their true value thus causing the banks to show much less capital than they actually have. The effect of these policies has been the crippling our country's financial system.
As much as members of Congress want to find scapegoats, the root of this problem is political greed. Members of Congress from both parties wanted short-term political credit for promoting home ownership even though they were putting our entire economy at risk by encouraging people to buy homes they couldn't afford. Then, instead of conducting thorough oversight and correcting obvious problems with unstable entities like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, members of Congress chose to ignore the problem and distract themselves with unprecedented amounts of pork-barrel spending.
If the American people are angry about the financial situation of this great country, there is only one place they need to direct their anger - the United States Congress. The economic recovery bill does not represent a new and sudden departure from free market principles as much as it represents an emergency response to congressional actions that have ignored free market principles, and our Constitution, for decades. If anyone in Washington should offer their resignation it should be the members of Congress who peddled the fantasy of free home ownership without risk. No institution in our country is more responsible for the myth of borrowing without consequences than the United States Congress.
In 2006, along with nineteen other Senators, I called for major regulatory reform with regard to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. We warned of the dangers of these laxly regulated entities, and the enormous risk they could pose to the housing market, the financial system, and the economy as a whole. Yet Congress failed to take any action and the problem grew worse until we have found ourselves faced with an imminent financial catastrophe.
Failure to act now could have devastating effects on our economy. If banks continue to fail and stop lending, many Americans could lose their job, be unable to secure a loan for a car, home or college education, and find their life savings and retirement in jeopardy. Our economy depends on having liquid assets available for credit and lending just as an automobile engine needs oil. If those liquid assets stop flowing, our economy will be seriously damaged and will require far more costly and lengthy repairs.
My first priority in the Senate is to protect the American taxpayer. The plan put forth by Treasury Secretary Paulson and the Bush Administration is not perfect, but I believe is the right action to take at this moment. Consequently, I worked with my colleagues in the Senate to secure the following key provisions to protect taxpayers in the final version of the economic rescue package:
⢠Reduces Taxpayer Exposure - Rather than a $700 billion blank check, as requested by the Bush Administration, $250 billion would be available immediately to the Treasury Secretary with stringent oversight. Any additional funds would require further Congressional approval.
⢠Wall Street Helps Bail Itself Out - Addresses the frozen assets clogging up the financial system. Participating institutions holding these assets would pay the insurance premiums - in effect helping bail themselves out rather than rely on taxpayers' hard-earned money.
⢠Increased Oversight and Transparency - While the Paulson proposal explicitly removes any judicial oversight and lacks transparency provisions, the negotiated economic rescue package establishes a bipartisan oversight committee that requires honest and transparent reporting to Congress and the public. In addition, the programs will be monitored by a Special Inspector General, and reviewed and audited by the Government Accountability Office.
⢠Increased FDIC Insurance - FDIC insurance limits for bank accounts were increased from $100,000 to $250,000.
Taxpayers who want to ensure that this doesn't happen again should send a very clear message to Washington that it is time for Congress to live within its means and restore the principles of limited government, balanced budgets and free markets that made this country great. I will do everything in my power to ensure that this bill does not lead us down a slippery slope to European style socialism and slow economic growth. I will also promise taxpayers that I will do everything in my power to block what I expect will be hundreds of attempts by politicians in Washington to continue business-as-usual borrowing and spending in the next Congress.
In a time of crisis, American families have to make hard choices between budget priorities. So should Congress. If politicians want to create new programs they should eliminate duplicative programs or reduce funding for less important programs. The only way we can put this crisis behind us is for Congress to rejoin the real world of budget choices and consequences which, as we have seen in recent days, can be ignored for only so long.
Again, thank you for contacting me on this most important issue.
Sincerely, A
Tom A. Coburn, M.D.
United States Senator

Every golfer has one… the "bucket list" of must-play courses to visit in their lifetime. Many of the courses on those lists are exclusive and members-only, but we have compiled a list of public golf courses across the United States which will challenge and excite even the most seasoned players!
Want to play with the Vegas Strip in plain sight? The Wynn boasts spectacular views and a well-designed course. Looking to turn your golf trip into a weekend with your significant other? Visit Whistling Straits and enjoy world-class golf on the course and luxury amenities at the Kohler Spa.
Read more about the best municipal golf courses in the country, and come back soon for more!
The Wynn Golf Club Las Vegas, NV
From its rolling greens to its white-sand bunkers and rushing streams, you may forget you're in Las Vegas while at the Wynn Golf Club. The 18-hole, par-70 course—designed by Tom Fazio and Steve Wynn—was conceived with the rolling hills of South Carolina or Georgia in mind.
As a part of being the only golf course attached to a resort on the Las Vegas strip, their team is well prepared to get you from room-to-tee without ever leaving the resort. Can't bring your own equipment? Complimentary clubs by Callaway and shoes by Foot Joy are always provided and their professional caddies are available to help you master the course.
Pacific Dunes Bandon, OR
This 18-hole, par-71 public course is remarkably different in character and shot-making requirements than many other courses. Designed by Tom Doak and opened in 2001, Pacific Dunes doesn't feel like it was built as much as it was discovered. Rippling fairways remain just as they were found and natural bunkers line the landscape as they have for centuries. Pacific Dunes is short enough to give you hope, but rugged enough to test every facet of your game.
"Welcome to the first hole at Pacific Dunes. The fairway landing area is generous, so try to gauge your tee shot to leave 100-125 yards into the green. A tee shot left of center provides a better angle to this green nestled into the sand dunes." Read more about the rest of the course.
Whistling Straits Sheboygen, WI
Open, rugged and windswept terrain defines the walking-only, links-style Straits course sculpted along two miles of Lake Michigan shoreline. A masterpiece in the world of golf created by Pete Dye, The Straits at Whistling Straits® was ranked #4 in GolfWeek's 2015 Best Resort Courses and #22 in Golf Digest's 2015/2016 America's 100 Greatest Golf Courses.
With names like "Down and Dirty" and "Shipwreck", each hole is designed to both challenge the seasoned golfer, and encourage those still working on their game. The scenery is breathtaking, and the facilities second to none, and connected to the Kohler Spa, allowing you and your significant other to both have an enjoyable, relaxing trip.
Bethpage State Park (Black) Farmingdale, NY
Bethpage State Park is a mecca for public, golf featuring five 18-hole regulation golf courses including the world-renowned Black Course which was the site of the United States Open in 2002 and 2009. The park was developed from an estate owned by the Yoakum family who leased it to the Lenox Hills Corporation. Lenox then used the property to build the Lenox Hills Country Club.
This 18-hole par 71 golf course has been renovated in recent years, and is considered a difficult course, suitable for experienced players.
Highlands of Elgin Elgin, IL
Rated on Golfweek's "Best Courses You Can Play" and the #1 municipal course in Illinois,This 18 holes, par 72 course is a step above your typical public course. Tearing a page from the courses in the sport's native land, they strive to make any golfer feel as if they're playing on the rolling hills of Scotland, shooting errant balls past the same shores as those who brought the game up from its infancy. If you're in or visiting Chicago, this course should be your first stop!
They offer a full range of golf lessons, corporate and fundraising outings, and a beautiful clubhouse to enjoy a nice dinner after your round.

Peed your pants at a dinner party
Tonight your mom had been invited to a fancy dinner party. This was the perfect opportunity to have an accident AND make it completely justifiable. Your mom didn't like you to leave her side during these events, so you were going to have an accident while she didn't allow you to leave.
You made sure to drink a lot of fluids that night and were ready to burst by the time you planned to have your accident. Your mom was talking with a bunch of her friends when you felt the need to go. Pretending to put on a show, you ask your mom if you can go to the bathroom. As you expected, she didn't allow you to leave her side. A few minutes later, you were wetting yourself and a puddle was forming on the ground.
The adults looked at you with disgusted faces and your mom dragged you into a family bathroom. In there, she said...

At approximately 1:25 p.m., Thursday, December 24, the Texas Department of Public Safety received a
After a week of testimony and a few days to ponder the evidence presented during a hearing for temporary injunction, Jefferson County Judge Gary Sanderson has ruled that an educator who claims she was marked for termination once she talked to federal investigators about cheating in the Beaumont Independent School District should receive her day in court. That day, according to the judicial ruling, will be Feb. 16, 2016.
Santa and his crew made a sleigh stop at Girls' Haven on Dec. 23 for a special Christmas delivery to the 20 young ladies living there.
Three local medical facilities received some very generous and fun gifts from the Jefferson County Sheriff's Association (JCSA) on Christmas Eve, Dec. 24.
At a hearing held in U.S. Magistrate Judge Keith Giblin's federal court in Beaumont on Monday, Dec. 21, three family members "are alleged to have devised a scheme to obtain and make personal use of federal block grant funds that Congress appropriated following Hurricanes Rita, Katrina, Ike, and Dolly," according to information from the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Texas.
While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth. We're of the opinion that headlines and sound bites never tell the whole story. Our readers demand all the facts, facets and flavors of every story or event. And, they expect to be informed, educated and stirred to action.

The Black Vulkars are a swoop gang in Taris and antagonists in the Knights of the Old Republic video game and comic books.
Prior to the Mandalorian Wars, the Black Vulkars were led by Benno. The gang was known for their reckless and dimwitted methods in comparison to the Hidden Beks. Two members of the gang were trying to capture Zayne Carrick to collect his bounty.
After Revan liberated Taris, Brejik becamed the leader of the Black Vulkars after Gadon refused to pass the leadership to him. Under Brejik's rule, more younger Hidden Beks join the gang as they become violent. The Black Vulkars also became involved in selling illegal drugs and slavery.
