Target: President Hamid Karzai of Afghanistan
Goal: Take urgent action against child marriages and domestic violence
Since the signing of the law that made violence against women illegal in 2009, the Afghan president has provided vital protection for both women and girls. For the last year in office, President Karzai should ensure that all enforcement agencies tackle this monumental problem with vigor.
This Law on the Elimination of Violence Against Women implements tough penalties for those that abuse women and girls, whether they are in a consensual marriage or a forced one. Unfortunately, this piece of legislation does not make it illegal for any child to get married before they are eighteen years old, although human rights activists are currently pushing for this to happen in Afghanistan. The reason for this push is due to the popularity of child marriages in Afghanistan. Girls as young as sixteen are married and a year later are giving birth, but giving birth at such a young age can lead to a risk of injury and sometimes death. According to Human Rights Watch, in Afghanistan a woman dies every two hours due to pregnancy. Another consequence of pregnancy at a young age is a severe medical issue called fistula. Fistula is a preventable injury that happens when the woman is in prolonged labor, creating a hole in her birth canal. Because of the nature of the injury, the woman will leak urine or feces. If the condition isn't treated, it can lead to other serious medical problems and cause death. Government statistics show that twenty-five percent of women and girls who were married under the age of sixteen were diagnosed with fistula and seventeen percent were under sixteen when they gave birth.
It is important that President Karzai tackles both domestic abuse and child marriages/pregnancies because of the toll it takes on the economy and society. If these girls wait several years into adulthood before having babies, their health risk decreases significantly. This would mean that the woman and her family would have a smaller medical bill and fret less about their health or economic condition. Domestic violence in Afghanistan is distressingly high, as a 2006 report from Global Rights stated that eighty-five percent of Afghan women had suffered physical, psychological, and sexual abuse. The problem has grown at such an alarming rate that many women and girls commit suicide by lighting themselves on fire, and it is believed that the violence and stress is linked to childhood marriages and domestic abuse.
Afghanistan has been slow to adopt policies that protect their women, but now that the law is made, it is crucial that government officials ensure that women and girls are protected. Even though President Karzai leaves office next year, he can leave a lasting legacy by guaranteeing that those who abuse women are punished to the full extent of the law. If you believe that the president should heavily enforce this during his last term, sign the petition below.
Dear President Karzai,
First I would like to thank you for signing the Law on the Elimination of Violence Against Women. By doing this you are announcing to the women and girls of your country that the government is protecting them against future harm. You are showing compassion on their behalf and ensuring that they will have happier and healthier lives. I am writing this letter to urge you to fully enforce this law during your last term of presidency. I am asking that you make this your lasting legacy as a president; that even though it is your last year you will punish those who abuse women, or force marriages onto young girls.
Domestic violence is still a problem in your nation and I hope that this will no longer be the case. I hope that both the men and women in a marriage love each other and view each other as equals, that they will never resort to violence to fix problems, or use their spouse as an outlet for their anger. I hope that you continue to prosecute those that harm women – whether it be physically, psychologically, or sexually – because by doing this you are helping your society. I also hope that you will continue to influence other members in the government with this same ideal.

VAn Wyck – A teenage girl was injured when her pickup truck ran off a road and flipped onto its side Tuesday afternoon.
Local rescue workers spent several minutes pulling the trapped teen from the truck after it came to rest in a wooded area in Van Wyck after 3 p.m.
S.C. Highway Patrol Lance Cpl. Billy Elder said Chelsie Auton, 18, of Lancaster was driving a 1983 Toyota pickup truck north on Old Hickory Road when the accident happened.
COLUMBIA – In the week leading up to Christmas and continuing through New Year's Day, state and local law enforcement agencies will step up efforts to reduce drunk driving in South Carolina.
The enforcement blitz – the Christmas/New Year's Sober or Slammer! DUI crackdown campaign – is spearheaded by the SC Department of Public Safety (SCDPS) and runs now through Jan. 2, 2012. The goal is to curb the number of crashes and fatalities caused by motorists driving while impaired during the holiday season.
Lancaster County school board approved a new way for parents to pay for their children's meals Tuesday night during its December meeting.
Called "Meals Plus," the optional program will allow parents to buy their children's school meals online – and monitor what their children are eating.
The district will start notifying parents of the service at the beginning of next semester in January with sign-up available soon after.

An undercover sheriff's office sweep caught a handful of county convenience stores selling alcohol to minors last weekend, though most stores passed with flying colors.
With the help of an 18-year-old confidential informant, the Lancaster County Sheriff's Office conducted a series of underage alcohol buys at 32 convenience and alcohol stores throughout the county.

Tuesday marked two significant milestones in the history of Edenmoor as new developers announced a name change for the once-troubled Indian Land neighborhood and turned over a new EMS station to the county.
New owners Edenmoor Land Acquisition LLC (ELA), a partnership between Saybrook Municipal Opportunity Fund IV of Santa Monica, Calif., and LStar Management LLC of Raleigh, N.C., closed on the property Oct. 28.

A Lancaster County Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA) hearing Tuesday night on the non-conforming-use status of a second Indian Land concrete plant came to an end before it even began when county officials abruptly withdrew their ruling against the company.
The meeting followed a similar, highly contentious hearing in October, in which BZA members overturned the county's revocation of Thomas Concrete LLC's protected nonconforming-use status, a case now heading to civil court.

KERSHAW – Ann Miles says her survivor's story is a testament of faith, perseverance and the work of God.
Miles, a music accompanist at Coastal Carolina University, was in a car accident three years ago that could have claimed her life.
She apparently fell asleep at the wheel on Interstate 20 near Pelion, ran off the road and hit pine trees while traveling nearly 80 mph. She fractured her left leg, ribs, vertebrae and jaw, and suffered a collapsed lung, among other severe injuries.

How do you cope when you find out your foster was PTS for no reason by new owner?
I am really struggling right now. I adopted out one of my foster boy kittens out at 8 months old. He was born in my house after I took his pregnant mother in as a foster. I loved him so. We were desperately trying to get an update on him. It turned out his adopter, in violation of the adoption contract, had this healthy kitten euthanized because he was "afraid", "wild", and had a "fever" and couldn't be bothered to medicate him or return him to the shelter as dictated in the contract. He had him PTS less than 2 weeks after adopting him. We would have taken him back in an instant if he contacted us. I just don't understand how someone can be so evil and I am so devastated. I can't even imagine how scary and awful living with that man was. Taken from his home, his family, living alone with an evil man. No wonder he was scared. I didn't know this would happen. I feel so horrible. I should never have let him go. Has anyone experienced anything like this before? How do you cope?

- Cast your vote for which answer you think is best!
This is heartbreaking, not to mention frustrating and traumatic and you have my sympathy. Unfortunately, there isn't much you can do. I would hope the vet would have contacted you when the person brought the cat in if they knew he was recently adopted. Immediately put this person's information on a "do not adopt" list and make sure everyone else in your organization knows about him. Have your director send out his name to other shelters/rescues in your area with an explanation of what he's done and have them put his name on their lists. Even with the best screening and adoption coordinators, people like this do slip through unfortunately, especially in this time of such extreme animal overpopulation. Do NOT beat yourself up over this or let it affect the good work you do. This experience WILL make you more cautious and that's a good thing. Again, we send our sympathies.

I was just looking through a few profiles on here earlier today. I came across a dear little kitten that had been in foster along with 4-5 siblings. The foster mom found out they were all but down, I think that very day she returned them. It was heart breaking! Maybe you could try to contact her.
Her living cats are ceylon, natalie, jasper, sasha,
sterling.. This one I was reading on was Moonshadow. Let me see if there is a ID code
I hope she can help console you thru this. I don't know her, but after reading both stories I would think you two could benefit.
So sorry and take care.

Have you contacted the vet? Maybe he wasn't PTS I know some charge the client but keep the kitty's and try to adopt them out. Some vets don't like to put down a healthy kitty for no reason. Maybe you could ring them. Also you can ask why did they do that? did they get enough info? did they know he only had him for two weeks. This is so mean. Sorry this happened to you.

Some people just suck, no matter how hard you try to find a good home, you can't know what people will do. I feel your heartache, I would be utterly devastated too. Knowing me, I would have to call and tell the jerk what I thought of him, not that it would do any good, but it might make me feel a tiny bit better. What a sadistic jerk he was, without even bothering to try to contact the foster and return him. What can you do. Don't stop doing what you do for cats though, you can't help that evil people exist in this world.

The Tennessee men's swimming and diving team looks to continue its dominance over Kentucky in a meet against the Wildcats Friday at 5 p.m. in Lexington. The Vols see their first action since the release of College Swimming Coaches Association's initial national collegiate poll, which places UT in eighth.
"We travel to Lexington for a very traditional meet against a seasoned and capable Kentucky Wildcat team," head coach John Trembley said. "We anticipate some great races. Kentucky is a great competitor, particularly at home."
Trembley added that during this meet the Vols will swim in a few events not usually seen in a dual meet.
"We will swim a 400 medley relay, 200 freestyle relay and the 400 individual medley," Trembley said, "which will help us prepare for our invitational and the SEC and NCAA championships."
Tennessee heads into this competition undefeated (2-0) after winning its first and second meets Oct. 16 against University of the Cumberlands and Louisville. This meet is UT's first road test. Meanwhile, the Wildcats after coming off a loss at Indiana (189-108) and are looking for their first win of the season.
This meet is one of the Vols' annual competitions and has been a one-sided series. UT and Kentucky have met in a regular season dual meet every year since 1982. During this time, the Vols boast a perfect record against the Cats with a mark of 26-0. Kentucky only claims three victories over Tennessee since the first meet in 1937; their first win came in 1939, and both of the other two were during the 1952 season. Overall UT is 39-3 against the Wildcats.

Jewish day school needs money to stay open
Only Jewish school for miles may close indefinitely without more funding
PALM DESERT, Calif. -- - The last day of school is just around the corner for the Jewish Community School of the Desert, but for 35 students and at least six teachers, it could be their last day on campus -- for good.
"The economy has hit our school, just like everything else," says PTO President, Jerry Roisentel. "We're a small Jewish Day school, we've represented the community for 21 years."
Hidden behind Temple Sinai on Hovley Lane and Monterey in Palm Desert, JCSD is the only Jewish Day School for 100 miles; the only Jewish-based education from Los Angeles to Phoenix.
"People are in financial strains and it's like any business, you know, when things are tough for everyone else, other things suffer, and our school is one of them," explains Roisentel. "We rely on donations from people in the community, and it's been tough with the way the economy is going."
The school needs a commitment of $175,000 by Wednesday to ensure one more year of classes.
Parents say they just learned about the possible closure, and are worried about enrolling their kids into another school so close to the summertime.
"It's going to be very challenging," says Roisental, "That's the other side of the equation here. There's wait-lists on all the schools out here so it will be difficult."
Students don't like the idea of leaving, either. The teacher-student ratio is 12:1.
"We are learning much more than an average fourth grader and I think this school is a very good school," raves fourth-grader Morgan Short.
"I'd be heartbroken," says a distraught Leo Milmet. "All my friends... I can't even think about it."
"We're doing this for the kids of today, and for future generations," says parent Daniel Friedman. Friedman emphasized the importance of education in the Jewish culture. He and Roisental hope the Jewish community will reach out.
"The whole entire Jewish community would be effected, because there would no longer be a Jewish day school to educate our Jewish children, which is really the bigger concern."
That being said, JCSD accepts all denominations and religions.
If you'd like to help, call the school at (760) 340-2039, or visit their website, www.JCSDPD.org.

text: COLUMBUS - Dr. Sam Sheppard's son says he will keep trying to clear his father's name in the 1954 slaying of his mother, regardless of how the Ohio Supreme Court rules in a wrongful imprisonment lawsuit.Prosecutors asked the high court Tuesday to throw out a suit filed by Sam Reese Sheppard claiming his father was wrongfully imprisoned for the beating death of his wife. It's unknown when the Supreme Court will rule.The case helped inspire "The Fugitive" TV series and movie.Dr. Sheppard claimed a bushy-haired intruder killed Marilyn Sheppard at the couple's home on Lake Erie and then knocked him unconscious. But a Cuyahoga County jury convicted him of murder.The U.S. Supreme Court overturned the verdict in 1964, and Sheppard was acquitted at a second trial two years later.Sheppard died of liver failure in 1970 at age 46.The younger Sheppard, who has been campaigning for years to clear his father's name, could collect about $2 million in damages if he wins his wrongful imprisonment lawsuit. He says money is not the issue."The state is not being accountable," Sheppard said outside court Tuesday. "That's outrageous and that needs to change."We are moving ahead and even if we are thrown out on this issue we will have other avenues. There are federal courts. We will solve this case," said Sheppard, 50, who lives in Oakland, Calif.Prosecutors told the high court Tuesday that the statute of limitations for the case ran out years ago. Dr. Sheppard could have sought a wrongful imprisonment declaration from the Legislature, not a court, a team of three Cuyahoga County prosecutors argued.A lawyer for the younger Sheppard argued the doctor was, indeed, innocent. And it's never too late to set the record straight, lawyer Terry Gilbert told the court.The seven judges spent much of Tuesday's 40-minute hearing wondering aloud if it would be right for the state Supreme Court to throw out the case before the lawsuit can go to trial.Normally, statute of limitation disputes are decided during a trial or on appeal after a trial, and are not immediately dismissed by the high court."What's to keep any litigant who thinks they've got a slam dunk case from just coming to the Supreme Court?" Justice Paul E. Pfeifer asked prosecutors.Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Stephanie Tubbs Jones said her office shouldn't have to try a case in which much evidence is lost, many witnesses have died and which began "when I was 5 years old.""Time's up," she said.Attorneys for Sheppard and Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court Judge Ronald Suster, who rejected two previous dismissal requests, said Ohio law allows descendants to carry on wrongful imprisonment lawsuits."People who are wrongfully imprisoned have a right to receive exoneration from the state," Gilbert said outside court. "It doesn't matter if it was last year or 40 years ago."The Sheppard legal team believe DNA and other evidence indicate Mrs. Sheppard was slain by Richard Eberling, a window-washer for the couple serving a life sentence in prison for murdering another woman. Eberling has denied killing Mrs. Sheppard.

3 locations available for Belding Freedom Wall
BELDING — World War II veteran John Geisen has one wish: To see a new Freedom Wall erected in Belding displaying the names of all Belding residents who fought in the war while they are still alive to see it.
Members of a subcommittee working to construct the wall discussed basic logistics of the project, along with possible locations for the wall and a new Veterans Park. Halfway through the nearly two-hour meeting, Geisen had heard enough.
"How many people sitting here today had their name on that wall?" Geisen asked everyone at the meeting, to no response. "I came here to talk about (the wall), but we've missed the boat. We have come to build a wall and honor those guys who are now gone and are going to be gone."
With watery eyes, Geisen recalled a story about a friend he lost in the war and ended his statement saying,"that's why we've got to build this wall."
Everyone agreed that building a Freedom Wall and Veterans Park is of utmost importance to Belding and will happen. However, the decision on a location to build the wall and park is still being discussed.
"Things often start out small and gain momentum as you go along and that's what has happened here," City Manager Randy DeBruine said. "It started with the Freedom Wall, a 25-by-14-foot structure placed at the east end of the depot. From there, it was put on paper and gained momentum to the point where we are now looking at adding more monuments and looking for a more central location. Obviously, the east end of the depot would not work, as there is very little room there for more than one (monument)."
Locations and plans
DeBruine said he surveyed nine locations for a possible Veterans Park with other city officials, narrowing the search down to five locations. After Monday's meeting, three of those locations remain options.
The remaining locations include a plot of land just west of the Pere Marquette Depot on Gibson Street, the empty Breimayer lot on the corner of Congress and Bridge streets across from City Hall and a private lot that could not be discussed publicly.
Throughout the meeting, everyone listed positives and negatives of every location, narrowing the process down to three locations that were in the best interest of the park.
Locations at East Riverside Park and Central Riverside Park were ruled out. The primary issues with each park were that East Riverside Park was deemed too far away from public view and Central Riverside Park has issues with flooding.
Denny Craycraft, the Belding veteran spearheading the freedom wall project, said it was difficult to discuss issues such as costs and number of memorials until a location is chosen.
"Before we can get down to the nitty-gritty of designing the park, we have to have a location selected," he said. "We could accomplish our goal in that area and make it a very pleasant area for this community."
Craycraft said plans currently call for a first stage in which the wall, featuring the 721 names from the original Freedom wall that was decommissioned in 1948, will be built first.
After the wall is completed, further fundraising will be done to build additional monuments to honor veterans from other wars.
"This is why I think it's so important to start moving forward on this wall," he said. "It's going to be done in stages. Once people see it being built and know that it's not costing the city any money, people and businesses will be more inclined to donate."
Pere Marquette Depot
Local architect Duane Shore said the plot of land west of the Depot is an ideal spot for high traffic of visitors because of the possible inclusion of the Fred Meijer River Valley Trail, which will pass by the area as it meanders from Greenville to Lowell.
"The idea was with that location, when people come down the rail trail, people could wander into the (park)," Shore said. "There's room to expand this when the rail trail is developed and it could all be incorporated into one."
Drawbacks against the Depot location include its proximity to Central Riverside Park and the disturbance of young children playing nearby.
"I don't like the lack of visibility there," subcommittee member Patti Batzer said. "I think the (veterans) park needs to be honored on its own, away from other parks. I think this park should be an entity of itself. (People) shouldn't be going there because there's a soccer game going on. They should be going there to see what these people did, honor them, respect them and remember them. This is a different type of a park."
Sharon Carlson, vice chairwoman of the Recreation Advisory Board and member of the Downtown Development Authority, sees the close proximity to another park as a positive.
"When you're looking at the fact that you want to the memorial to be in a high traffic area, but you see the proximity to an existing park as a negative, I see the opposite," she said. "I think being in an existing park brings in people of all ages."
Breimayer lot
DeBruine cited possible commercial use for the Breimayer lot in the future as a reason for choosing a different site.
"That site could be used as a park, there is nothing wrong with that," DeBruine said. "A park in that location is acceptable. The question is, what does the Planning Commission want to see on that location? Do they want to see a park there or a higher intensity use such as some sort of development?"
He said placing a park there permanently eliminates the chances of it being developed.
"You're not going to find a developer this year, but 5, 15 or 25 years from now what do you want to see on that site? You're talking about decisions that last a lifetime or more," DeBruine said. "That's how the Downtown Development Authority (DDA) is trying to look at it, because we do have a lot of money tied up into that property."
City Council Member Mike Scheid said any potential commercial use of that property is far fetched.
"If you think someone's going to come develop this lot, it's a pipe dream," he said. "Our business district is out on M-44, just like Greenville's has moved out to M-57 and Ionia's is moving south on M-66. The business districts are not downtown. It hasn't worked. I don't see a problem with using the Breimayer lot. I don't see a problem with any of the three locations. That's just a personal opinion. I want that wall up and taken care of."
Craycraft said with expectations to build the wall by Memorial Day of this year, a "Plan B" may be put into effect, where the wall will be constructed on the original proposed lot east of the Pere Marquette Depot, with a Veterans Park eventually following at a later date.
"We're building that wall, first and foremost," he said. "If that's the fastest route, then we'll probably take it."
Subcommittee members didn't take any formal action on Monday. DeBruine said the topic will be discussed at future meetings, including the next City Council meeting Feb. 7.

Maintenance shop for Acura MDXNov 2009
I am looking for a reliable, honest shop to take my 2004 Acura MDX for routine service. It has 87,000 miles on it and has never had a problem. However, I have been taking it to the Oakland Acura dealership and while they are very nice, I am tired of paying their fees. I am also weary of the possibility that they sell me services that the car really may not need. Thank you! anon

Considering buying an Acura MDXJan 2005
Greetings to all, I am considering purchasing an Acura MDX. If there are any MDX owners out there please let me know how you like the car. thank you erika
We love our MDX. It's roomy, and rides like a luxury car. We have three kids, so we use the third row, which is nice. Our only complaint is that it is hard to get back to the third row (ie on road trips- when the kids are complaining, it's not as convenient to get to them as it would be in a minivan). Also, gas is expensive, but better than most SUV's. By the way, it's excellent for driving in the snow. Kelly

Car seat for small backseat in Acura IntegraNov 2002
I'm looking for an infant carseat with a relatively short length, so it will fit in the back seat of my Acura Integra and still allow reasonable use of the driver and passenger front seats. I've already called the Oakland dealer - no luck - and also left a msg for the helpful El Cerrito police officer recommended recently on this network. There are a lot of small cars out there - has anyone else out there found a car seat which works in small car backseats?
Our Century SmartFit fits quite well in our 8-year old, 2-door Honda Civic Coupe. It was inexpensive and highly rated for safety by Consumer Reports. Gen

[REACTION: Seattle Sounders-Tigres] MLS coaches are notorious for lashing out at Concacaf referees, so it was interesting to see how the shoe was on the other
foot after the Seattle Sounders' 3-1 win over Mexican leader Tigres that sent the MLS club into the semifinals, 3-2, on aggregate. Tigres coach Tuca Ferretti
had no problem with the red card to his captain, Manuel Viniegra, that changed the complexion of the game. But he otherwise blasted Salvadoran referee Elmer Bonilla, saying that it's hard to win when it's 12 against 10.
"There were three factors that caused us to no longer be in the Concacaf," Ferretti said. "The first one was the red card obviously. But it was deserved because it was the second molestation -- it was a real foul there. The second was two very good goals [by defenders DeAndre Yedlin and Djimi Traore to even the two-leg series at 2-2], especially the second one. I even applauded because it was very impressive. The third reason was how bad the referee was. He allowed the opposing team to be too aggressive against us. He let go many of those fouls that should've been punished. I don't want to take away anything from Seattle's victory. They didn't need this kind of help, but playing against 12 is harder than usual."
Ferretti brought a team of reserves and youth players to Seattle but said all was going well until the red card just before halftime.
"I have plenty of confidence in my whole team and all the different members I have on my roster," he said. "The proof of that is that during the game before the red card expulsion: We were playing well, we were winning 1-0 and we had an opportunity for 2-0. But something like a red card changes everything. We know that Seattle is a very strong team and 11 against 11, it was going to be a difficult game. But 11 against 12, it becomes even more complicated, so that's what happened."
Ferretti's criticism echoed that of MLS coaches in the past. He regretted that "the level of referee that we have in the Concacaf zone doesn't really match the expectation that a tournament like this should have."

The state task force on Medicaid opportunities and challenges is working on the final version of its report today in Pierre. The 19-member panel was appointed by Gov. Dennis Daugaard and its draft version of the report reflects the efforts by the participants. The report's executive summary is yet to be completed, but the draft uses a five-section approach:
1. — General background;
2. — State decision points;
3. — Medicaid expansion findings;
4. — Medicaid expansion findings (pros and cons); and
5. — Implementation recommendations if the governor and the Legislature decide to proceed with Medicaid expansion.
The draft stands at 42 pages. The implementation recommendations point to how the Legislature and governor might fashion legislation, rules and policies. One key point in the recommendations is a "circuit breaker" that would allow South Dakota to immediately terminate the program if the federal share of funding falls below the promised 90 percent. This has been done by other states, according to the report.
Other recommendations include payment reform, such as for outpatient services; start-up to coincide with a July 1 start of a state fiscal year, with six months for organization and start-up; investigate cost-sharing by Medicaid patients; consider strains on healthcare workforce, especially in dentistry; establish a monitoring system regarding access and quality; look for ways to use additional Medicaid funds to invest in more access and preventative care; resolve outstanding issues with the federal government before committing to expansion; and look into how Medicaid expansion and federal health-insurance exchange coverage potentially can be blended.
The task force's final report is due Sept. 15. It appears to be a good road map for the decisions ahead, especially for legislators who will have to make many complex decisions in the overall busy-ness of the 2014 session.

About MeI am a 24 year old that has had a passion for fashion since I was about 15. I am the kind of person that loves to think outside of the box. I want and do try the "impossible" when it comes to hair and make-up. I have done both theatrical and glam make-up. I love to watch the way that you can make a persons whole physical profile change but make-up. My goal is to get my name out there and be seen. I want to make it in the film field, doing make-up and hair.

ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Adam Eaton's start lasted 18 pitches.
Garret Anderson and Vladimir Guerrero hit three-run homers -- one before and one after Eaton's first-inning ejection -- and Joe Saunders allowed three harmless singles over seven scoreless innings to lead the Los Angeles Angels over the Texas Rangers 9-1 Sunday.
Eaton (1-2) retired only two of five batters before plate umpire Rob Drake ejected him for throwing a 90 mph fastball behind Rivera -- one pitch after Anderson's 10th homer of the season.
"Rivera's obviously been very comfortable up there for the past month, so I wanted to get him off the plate with a two-seamer and I threw it out of the side of my hand," Eaton said. "(Drake) assumed that I was throwing at Rivera, but I wasn't. I've thrown at one guy my whole career. That was in A-ball -- and that was from the manager's mouth. So for him to say he knew what I was doing was a wrong assumption.
"There was no intent to hit him on purpose," Eaton added. "I was definitely surprised when he ejected me, but I understand why. It didn't look very good at all. It put a huge amount of pressure on the bullpen after they went five innings yesterday, so I was more upset about that than I was about getting tossed."
Drake, who grabbed Rivera after he made a move toward the mound, said he had no choice regarding Eaton.
"It was blatant disregard. ... He didn't care that everybody in the ballpark knew that he threw at him," Drake said. "I've seen this a million times -- a first-inning home run, and the next pitch is 10 feet behind the guy. For me, it was a no-brainer. The only concern that I had was making sure that Rivera didn't go out to the mound."
Eaton made his third start after almost four months on the disabled list because of a strained middle finger that required surgery on April 4. Manager Buck Showalter said that had nothing to do with the errant pitch, and appeared more irritated at Eaton than Drake.
"I certainly understand what it looked like," Showalter said. "Umpires have a tough job. They're trying to judge intent. In that situation, You don't want to even create any doubt in the umpire's mind. It took some wind out of our sails, obviously. You hate to lose your pitcher in the first inning. We were trying to win a baseball game, and Adam being out of it doesn't help our chances. He's been around long enough to know that we need him to pitch."
Angels manager Mike Scioscia was noncommittal on the subject.
"Only one guy knows if it was intentional or not, but the ball was behind Juan," Scioscia said. "If it was just a loss of command, it was an unfortunate time. After a home run, when you throw behind a guy, you're sending an obvious message."
Josh Rupe relieved Eaton and retired Rivera on a groundout. But the rookie gave up four consecutive one-out singles in the second inning, including run-scoring hits by Jose Molina and Maicer Izturis. Guerrero capped the five-run inning with his 23rd homer. The 2003 AL MVP is batting .438 with 16 homers and 38 RBI in 46 games against Texas.
Saunders (3-0) finished with six strikeouts and two walks after he was staked to a quick 8-0 lead. The left-hander made his third start this season and second in place of AL Cy Young winner Bartolo Colon, who has a partially torn rotator cuff. Kevin Gregg followed with two-hit relief, allowing a ninth-inning sacrifice fly to Gerald Laird.
"I mixed my pitches up well," Saunders said. "It makes things easier if you have an 8-0 lead. To have support like that was key."
Howie Kendrick singled in the Angels' fifth to extend his hitting streak to 16 games, the longest by any rookie this season. He came all the way around to score with help from two errors by second baseman Ian Kinsler, who booted Chone Figgins' grounder and then threw the ball past shortstop Michael Young.
- Rangers RHP Kip Wells was sent back to Texas to see team physician Dr. Keith Meister about the soreness in his pitching shoulder that forced him out of his previous start. RHP Edinson Volquez will be called up from Triple-A Oklahoma to fill in for Wells.
- The Angels, in the midst of a 24-game stretch without a day off, will be in Chicago on Monday night to make up a May 11 rainout. Their starting pitcher will be Kelvim Escobar, who hit A.J. Pierzynski with a pitch the last time he faced the defending World Series champs on April 29 at Anaheim.
- Anderson's homer was only the second allowed by Eaton in 55 appearances. He was acquired in a six-player trade with San Diego in January.
- Anderson was 7-for-16 in the series with two homers and eight RBI.
- The Rangers are 10-18 in day games, including Saturday's 10-3 loss.

Bench testing brake light switch-?
Can I bench test a stop light switch that is an inline switch activated by the pressure from a hydraulic cylinder-? I can feel the plunger/shuttle go in and out, when removed, by pushing a nail through the hole where the fluid activates the switch. If I push the plunger/shuttle in and test across the two electrical contacts, should I get a reading on my continuity meter which would show that the contact was closed thus completing the circuit-? I have tried doing this but I get no reading whatsoever-? I have also tried placing this and another switch I bought in a 12V circuit to see if this would activate a 12V test light when the plunger is activated. It did not. I would think that by pushing in the plunger-shuttle by had it would simulate the pressure from hydraulic fluid and indicate the switch closed and completed the circuit-? Or, do I just have a couple of bad switches-? This problem is driving me nuts. My guys at the parts store think I don't know what I'm doing by buying all these stop light switches. I'm beginning to agree.

Science and Public Policy Institute
|It's gettin' hot in here
|Feverish dreams
|Hot-headed goons
The Science and Public Policy Institute is a think tank specialising in global warming denial.[1]
The SPPI states it is "a nonprofit institute of research and education dedicated to sound public policy based on sound science. Free from affiliation to any corporation or political party." It does not reveal its funding sources; however, it shares a building and personnel with the "Centre for Science and Public Policy," a project of "Frontiers of Freedom," which gets its money from the oil industry (a million from ExxonMobil[2] for a start).
It awarded Christopher Monckton, who writes quite a lot of its papers, an imaginary Nobel Peace Prize in 2007.[3]
SPPI's greatest hits include a report in which they claim that sea levels have not risen, their evidence being a graph showing sea level rise, but tilted such that the long-term trend is flat.[4] Yes, really.
Also among its personnel listed are Craig Idso of the Center for the Study of Carbon Dioxide and Global Change and Willie Soon.

New years clean up of threads.
There will be a clean-up of off topic this New Years, controversial threads will be dumped, they, for the most part, have been beaten to shreds and there are no clear cut answers to any of them. The mods will be doing this once a month. This doesn't mean you can't pick a topic for discussion, but once a month there will be a clean up to prevent them from being dredged up in the future. Dump threads can only be read with a signed in status. Hopefully this will keep the "why are these topics not car related allowed" to a minimum and will give the site a friendlier look.
Personally, I think that the mods on this Forum do an outstanding job with an almost impossible task. Hopefully the New Year will see some new fresh ideas and good attitudes from all the members.

The CDC National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention & Health Promotion defines heavy drinking as more than 2 alcoholic drinks for men or more than 1 drink for women each day during the past 30 days. The Centers for Disease Control found that these are the levels at which mortality increases.
According to the 2010 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS), Alaska ranks number 13 in the U.S. for heavy drinking, with 5.6% of Alaskans classified as heavy drinkers.

I feel so rich. So USA is not so rich, yet she can easily take any country's wealth if they want it.
According to the 2011 Credit Suisse Global Wealth report published in October 2011, Australia has a median wealth of US$222,000 (AU$217,559). Thats the highest in the world and nearly four times the amount of each US adult. You can read the full report here.
Apparently the wealth of your average Australian is 55 times greater than the average wealth around the world.
Yet I guess a lot of us wealthy people dont feel that lucky. Theres still a huge gap between the super wealthy and the poor here in Australia as in North America. Plus, with our consumer society weve all been trained to want more and more, no matter how much we already have.
It got me thinking about how lucky we are compared to the poorest countries in the world who funnily enough the Swiss bank doesnt mention. So I thought Id write two posts for comparison: the 10 Richest Countries in the World versus the 10 Poorest Countries in the World.
This list is taken from the Credit Suisse chart of top 10 countries with the highest average wealth per adult in 2011.
They havent made public the whole top 10 for the other list where Australia comes out top on but its amazing to see the USA and Canada dont feature on this list.
Anomalies aside, this list is a strong indication of how wealthy the people who live in a country are, as compared to a list based on Gross Domestic Product which is the value each person creates. The currency is US dollars.
1. Switzerland $540,010
Famed for its Swiss Alps, neutral polices and secure banking, Switzerlands wealth grew after World War 2 when people from other European countries deposited their money in the banks of Switzerland which were considered to be the safest option. Apart from the financial and banking industry, Switzerlands economy is also bolstered by Swiss companies like Nestle, Logitech, Rolex and Credit Suisse. And who wouldnt like to find a Toblerone in their stocking this Christmas?
2. Australia $396,745
Australia is rich in natural resources which are being mined and sold for a healthy profit often at the expense of our natural environment. It all started with the gold rush in the 1820s and has been snowballing since then. The Australian dollar is high and tourism remains another mainstay of our economy. As an indicator of our resources, both underground and our pristine natural environment, Australian companies range from mining giants Rio Tinto to surf brands Billabong and Rip Curl.
3. Norway $355,925
The Kingdom of Norway is one a few highly developed countries in Europe that are not part of the European Union. Naturally rich in oil and natural gas, Norway is well known for its high cost of living. But the standard of living is high too with public health care free (above a certain level) and 46 weeks paid parental leave for new parents. Norway is also the second least densely populated country in Europe.
4. France $293,685
France has been a power house with strong cultural, economic, military and political influence in Europe, and around the world, for the last 500 years. Financial services, banking and the insurance sector are an important part of Frances economy; the French insurance company AXA is the worlds largest insurance company. France is also famed for its fine wine, food, fashion and design. Top French companies include Michelin, Louis Vuitton and LOreal. Mais oui.
5. Singapore $284,692
The tiny island nation of Singapore has the busiest port in the world and is the fourth largest foreign exchange trading center in the world. Singapore is a world leader in several economic areas including finance, casinos, oil refining and foreign trading. Singapore attracts business because its economy is known as one of the freest, most innovative, most competitive, most business friendly and least corrupt in the world.
6. Sweden $284,146
Sweden is an export-oriented mixed economy with a modern distribution system, excellent internal and external communications, and a skilled labor force. Resources include timber and hydropower while the economy is heavily oriented toward foreign trade. Famous Swedish exports include Björn Borg, Abba and Ikea where I bought a lot of my furniture after moving to Australia. Id love to visit the Swedish capital of Stockholm and Swedish Lapland which is seen as Europes last wilderness and a place where you can glimpse the northern lights and the midnight sun.
7. Belgium $275,524
The Kingdom of Belgium has more going for it than just chocolate. Belgium has a strongly globalized economy and a transportation infrastructure integrated with the rest of Europe. Being smack in the middle of a highly industrialized region has helped make Belgium one of the worlds largest trading nations although it is often viewed as one of the least interesting. The economy is characterized by a highly productive work force and high exports. Belgium most famous import is raw diamonds and its most famous export (apart from chocolate) is finished diamonds. Well known Belgian companies include Guylian, Godiva and Stella Artois.
8. Italy $259,826
Italy didnt get rich from exporting pizza. Italys wealth comes from its influential and innovative business economic sector, an industrious and competitive agricultural sector which is the worlds largest wine producer, and its creative and high-quality automobile, industrial, appliance and fashion design. Famous Italian companies include Fiat, Pirelli, Versace, Benneton and the coffee companies Illy and Lavazza.
9. United Kingdom $257,881
Like many countries in this list the UKs wealth was kick started by colonizing other countries and plundering their natural and often human resources. Im British so Im allowed to say that kind of thing. With our colonial hey day long over, the economy in the UK remained strong because we kick-started the scientific and industrial revolutions. Today the economy in the UK is based around the automotive, aerospace and pharmaceutical industries. Even in the midst of a recession and with the British Pound plummeting in value, the UK still makes the 10 top richest counties list and you cant beat UK companies like Rolls Royce, Virgin and Cadburys for global recognition.
10. Japan $248,770
Despite the terrible, tragic tsunami earlier this year Japan is still a rich country. Japans labor force consists of about 65.9 million workers and the country has a huge industrial capacity. Japan has some of the biggest producers of motor vehicles, electronics and processed foods. Agriculture and fishing are important industries too. People all over the world love Japanese brands like Nintendo, Toyota, Sony and, my personal favourite, Hello Kitty.
Interesting stuff but we all know wealth isnt really about how much money you have in the bank or how much you earn. Its about how rich your life is, how strong your family bonds and friendships and how much you enjoy your life on a daily basis.
But grinding poverty makes the quest for happiness hard and our responsibilities must lie in narrowing that great divide between rich and poor. Next time well look at the 1o poorest countries in the world.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 3/1/2014 (1266 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Rob O'Connor's agricultural background will serve him well as the new general manager of the Provincial Exhibition of Manitoba, according to outgoing CEO Karen Oliver.
As of Feb. 17, O'Connor will replace Oliver, who announced in October she would be stepping down.
"Leaving the helm of the Provincial Ex is bittersweet," Oliver said in a press release Friday.
"As much as I love fairs, I'm excited to have someone come on board with a fresh perspective and new ideas to bring the fairs to the next level.
"I feel confident that Rob is just the person to do that."
O'Connor is currently the show manager of Canada's Farm Progress Show in Regina, where he has helped grow the event by attracting national and international participation, as well as bringing a number of new sponsors on board.
He is also the owner of a purebred cattle operation in Vibank, Sask., where he currently resides with his wife and two young children.
O'Connor said his family is looking forward to moving to Brandon next month.
"I'm very comfortable with this move," he said.
"We spent a week in Brandon this summer when there was an event at the Keystone Centre and we really enjoyed the city."
O'Connor said he's looking forward to bringing new ideas to the organization and "reconnecting with the livestock side of the event business."
"It's just such a good staple in that area, but I think there's still some opportunities for growth and some new ideas that could be looked at in the future that I'm really excited to be a part of," he said.
Although he has attended the Manitoba Livestock Expo a number of times, O'Connor admits this year's Manitoba Winter Fair, which runs March 31 to April 5, will be his first. He said he looks forward to attending all of this year's events and then plans to bring new ideas to the table.
"I think it will be a real great experience for me and a challenge," he said.
As general manager, O'Connor will lead the team in the Provincial Ex's four annual events — the Royal Manitoba Winter Fair, Manitoba Summer Fair, Manitoba Livestock Expo and President's Dinner.
The organization was established in 1882, with the purpose of showcasing agriculture, as well as linking urban and rural communities through education and awareness while providing the region with entertainment, community pride and economic enhancement.
Oliver previously told the Sun she would leave her post after the Winter Fair in March.

El Paso ISD's open enrollment policy isn't for everyone; the district has requirements
Veronica said it's Coronado High, specifically, that refuses to approve transfer students.
EL PASO, Texas - The El Paso Independent School District moved to an open enrollment policy this year. This means students in any part of town can apply to attend EPISD schools. But one parent is finding out not everyone will be accepted.
An ABC-7 viewer named Veronica wrote in this weekend, telling us she thinks EPISD's open enrollment is perfect for the community. But then she came to conclusion westside schools are biased and making it impossible for outside students to get in.
ABC-7 reached out to the district to find out if there's any merit to this. Veronica said it's Coronado High, specifically, that refuses to approve transfer students.
She writes,"They are being very selective as to who should attend their schools." After calling the district up, ABC-7 found out yes, in fact they are. EPISD requires transfer students to meet the following criteria:
1. Student must meet the 90% attendance for the previous year.
2. Student must have passing grades in all classes for previous year.
3. Student must have passed all portions of their latest state test or assessment exam
4. Student coming from home school, private school, non-accredited school must show satisfactory scores on standardized achievement tests at the 50TH percentile or above.
5. Student must not have any disciplinary history from the previous year.
To enroll, a parent would have to first find out if the choice of their choice has room. They could then apply. The school's principal would decided whether the student is accepted. And then submits the choice to the district for final approval.
EPISD said the new policy is so far successful, and they're currently counting how many out of district students are coming in.
Ysleta ISD also has open enrollment. They give priority to students living within their attendance zone and hold the right to revoke transfers if a student has poor attendance, performance, bad behavior, and lack of parental support.
It's the district prerogative.

The rules are the rules. It also appears that he violated them after he agreed to them. Then the op after being given the infraction here on the forums, sent a PM to a moderator and became abusive.
It also seems from this:
that the OP did not seem to care if he was banned or not since he stated that he had no intention or returning.Anyway if it is within your job duties you can go ahead and remove Phroz from the forum's as i will not be returning to such an anal retentive staff member.
So tell me why should it be tolerated? It is the same as when you visit someone at their home you should abide by their rules regardless if you like them or agree with them or not. At least until you can leave.
So again thank you to Pureh@te for spending your time to get rid of the "riff-raff". And now we can continue intelligent conversations.

City of Lakeland and Lakeland Regional Health Announce Proposed Lease Amendment
Lakeland, FL – Administrative leadership at the City of Lakeland (the City) and Lakeland Regional Health (LRH) announced today that they have reached an agreement on a proposed sixth amendment to the Lease and Transfer Agreement between the two entities.
Following deliberations by the Lakeland City Commission during the FY 2015 Budget process, LRH's annual lease payment was capped at $12.9 million for two years. The City and LRH agreed to conduct negotiations to explore long-term alternatives to the payment terms of the current Lease and Transfer Agreement. The proposed amendment is subject to approval by the Lakeland City Commission and the Lakeland Regional Health Board of Directors.
The proposed amendment is for a term of 25 years, which adds an additional seven years to the current Lease and Transfer Agreement that was set to expire on October 1, 2033. The amendment provides a lump sum of $15,000,000 to be paid to the City by LRH on October 1, 2015. Additionally, annual lease payments will be made in the fiscal year ending September 30, 2016 through the fiscal year ending September 30, 2040.
The lease payment for the first year of the proposed amendment will be $13,254,750 and increases by 2.75% per year through the duration of the agreement. Lease payments will be made in equal quarterly payments, beginning on October 1, 2015.
In fiscal year beginning October 1, 2036, the City and LRH will enter into negotiations for a 25-year extension of the proposed Lease and Transfer Agreement. At any time during the lease negotiation period, but no later than October 1, 2037, the City may notify LRH that it intends to sell the hospital. LRH has the opportunity to purchase the hospital at fair market value as determined by a nationally recognized health care appraisal firm mutually agreed to by the City and LRH. If a purchase agreement is reached, a credit against the purchase price for all rent and payments made since inception of the lease on October 1, 1986 would be applied.
Doug Thomas, Lakeland City Manager, said, "Our administration is keenly focused on finding innovative solutions to provide the very best services possible to the citizens of the City of Lakeland. The proposed amendment is a win-win for our community. The lump sum payment provides the City with the opportunity to invest in our future and appropriately plan for a successor lease in 2037. Quarterly lease payments will enable both the City and LRH to better forecast and develop budgets based on known income and expenses." He added, "We appreciate the strong partnership we have with LRH and believe the fruition of our negotiations respects desired outcomes envisioned in the original Lease and Transfer Agreement and provides stability for both parties over the next 25 years."
Elaine Thompson, PhD, FACHE, President and CEO of Lakeland Regional Health said of the arrangement, "We appreciate all of the time, hard work and earnest discussions held with City administration on this matter. The predictability of lease and additional payments as provided by the proposed lease amendment positions our not-for-profit organization to make the financial investments necessary to improve patient safety and experience, while delivering nationally recognized, essential healthcare services to all patients, regardless of their ability to pay, at our Medical Center."

Lawyers can be thieves themselves. Calculations, computations, consultations, 5,000 dollars please, and you don't even know what you got. My good friend is a lawyer and says that the black eye of the law profession is lawyers stealing money from elderly folks funds that their entrusted with. It's a big problem.
No thanks. I already have formed my opinion of Mr Zimmerman (not guilt or innocence but intelligence and common sense).

It seems that donating to Zimmerman's defense fund is to pre-suppose his innocence, something I'm not sufficiently informed to do. I think it unlikely that his lawyer will abandon this high profile case due to funding...if he does, shame on him.

Regardless of how you feel about the case, the $ involved should serve as a lesson of why you should notget involved or pull the trigger unless you have absolutely no other choice.
Personally,i don't see this being a 2a issue either,more of SD,like one poster stated.That said,all i've seen,is what the media has printed about this unfortunate situation. I'm not going solely by what they print.They have been known,to not always be exactly truthful on some things.Glad i'm not on the jury.

When we are on a holiday we like to stay in small family hotels. There, you're not a anonymous guest but you feel like at home.
I hope I can give you the same feeling in our Warehouse.
Our house was built in approximately 1885. Originally it was built as a small warehouse. Later on there was a bakery downstairs and an apartment upstairs. Nowadays the house has two apartments. We have recently renovated the ground floor en the floor on street level. Now these two floors form a contemporary apartment: The Warehouse.
In daily life I work as a freelance communication advisor and spokeswoman. So, my daughter Anne takes care of the daily business of The Warehouse. We are both looking forward to meet you!

Ezra is a model. No, he isn't paid nor do we take him to the local talent agency. But nonetheless he models - for us.
Ezra, despite his love of sports, super heroes, and sword fighting, also loves fashion. I started noticing this about four or five months ago when he was insistent about picking out his own clothes. Yes, every child does this, I know. But when Ezra says he is going to get dressed, he comes back down the stairs 10 minutes later in a pair of jeans, a linen button down and a blazer. Then he promptly goes to put on his Converse All Stars. After that he heads to the bathroom to make his hair look good and then comes back to the living room to put a baseball cap on backwards. It's all topped off as he is walking out the door in this aviator sunglasses.
Thankfully I had my camera in my purse and I just had to snap some pictures of this little guy in action in Forever 21 at the mall.
After admiring himself in the mirror and dancing to Lady Gaga in the store (I snapped the pics before he even noticed) he asked me to take some pictures of him in the store window. Mike and Canaan stood to the side completely amused and mall shoppers stopped to watch as he posed for some seriously cool photos...he was unfazed by the onlookers.
So all you Mini Boden agents out there~ here's your next top model. He's ready and waiting!

UPDATE 2-VeriSign Q1 results beat estimates
(Adds outlook from conference call, updates share movement)
May 8 (Reuters) - Internet services provider VeriSign Inc (VRSN.O: Cotización) reported quarterly results that beat market estimates, helped by strong revenue growth at its core businesses.
In a conference call with analysts, the company forecast second-quarter revenue from core businesses of $228 million to $233 million.
Analysts on average were expecting revenue of $228.1 million, according to Reuters Estimates.
For the first quarter, VeriSign posted a net loss of $18.6 million, or 9 cents a share, compared with net income of $61.8 million, or 25 cents a share, a year earlier.
Revenue rose 7.9 percent to $354.3 million.
The results reflect an impairment on certain assets held for sale of $25.5 million and a restructuring charge of $26.5 million for both continuing and discontinued operations.
Excluding certain items, earnings at its core businesses, Internet infrastructure and identity services, were 21 cents a share on revenue of $223 million. Analysts expected earnings of 20 cents a share, excluding exceptional items, on revenue of $217.5 million, according to Reuters Estimates.
The company has been pursuing a plan, announced in November, to divest its slower growing units and focus on website-naming and Internet security services. Continuación...

NC transportation chief still supports Raleigh hub
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) _ North Carolina Transportation Secretary Ton Tata says he is still committed to funding a railroad project in downtown Raleigh.
Tata's comments came just hours after his agency shifted $15 million away from a planned train hub in downtown Raleigh.
Transportation department officials had planned to use money they thought would be leftover from federal stimulus funding for a Raleigh-to-Charlotte railroad improvement project for the downtown hub.
But officials say the money will be used on the railroad project, leaving the Raleigh hub project without about one quarter of the $60 million needed.
Tata said Thursday his agency will seek other funding for the downtown train station, which had been scheduled for completion in 2017.
