William BERRY (1610-1654) (1)p393:"...presumed to have descended from the Norfolk, England, family, mainly Captain Wm Mason...about 1631 settled at Strawberry Bank which incl: what is now Portsmouth, Rye, Newcastle, Newington and Greenland...seems to have been one of the chief men of the colony...rec'd a grant of land on the neck of land on the south side of Little river at Sandy Beech at a town meeting of Strawberry Bank, January 1648/49..." (52)p34:"...said to have been the first settler at Sandy Beach, Rye, NH. He signed the Glebe conveyance in 1640 and died about 1654..." (87)p7:"...was one of the fifty odd men sent over by Capt. John Mason to settle his grant of land (after his division with Georges, embraced most the present State of New Hampshire). These men were landed on the west side of the mouth of the Piscataqua river in 1631. There are reasons for supposing that William Berry was at this time a young man, though whether he was married in England or after his arrival in this country, we have not been able to ascertain. His wife's name was Jane. But little mention is made of William Berry in the early records up to the time of his death which occured about 1654. The territory now embracing the towns of Portsmouth, Rye, Newcastle, Greenland and a part of Newington, was then undivided. There were local names applied to certain portions of the territory which are in some instances still retained. William is said to have been the first settler in the present town of Rye. he lived at a place called Sandy Beach. He was one of the grantees of Newbury, MA, and had probably moved there previous to 1643. In 1640, he joined with others in the conveyance of a glebe at Portsmouth. He probably died about the year 1654, for 28 June 1654 Jane Berry was appointed administratrix of her husband's goods. His widow Jane subsequently married Nathanial Drake...William is said to have been at Sandy Beach as early as 1632...his children are supposed to have been: Elizabeth, John, Joseph, James, William and maybe others..." (384)p108: possible names for his father: Johan or Jonathan or William Berry If naming habits hold true for William then his father was probably Johan or Jonathan, as his first son was name John?? Ancestry.com data base file: Maine Pioneers, 1623-60 shows William Berry; Berrie; Bury Strawberry Bank, sold house and land to Anthony Ellins 10 July, 1648. Grand jury man 8 (8) 1650; constable. His widow Jane was appointed admin. of his estate 28 June, 1654. She m. 2, Nathaniel Drake, and with him deeded land on Great Island 9 Dec. 1669. James Berry, a son and John Berry and Joshua Foss, gr. ch. agreed June 13, 1717, on the division of certain lands which had been granted to William Berry about 60 years before. -------------------- He settled at Strawberry Bank which includes what is now Portsmouth, Rye, Newcastle, Newington and Greenland in about 1631.

By 1648 or so, he had moved back to the Portsmouth, Rockingham co., NH area; when it was "...Granted that Wm Berry shall have a lot upon the neck of land upon the South side of the Little River at Sandy Beach..." at a Strawbery Banke town meeting in 1648 or 1649[14]. This land grant and residence at the time of his death was in Sandy Beach (now Rye), Rockingham co., NH[43] and was squabbled over by his descendants for 60 years[43]. I have identified James Berry and Joshua Foss and noted their part in this resolution in their own entries below. I cannot ascertain the parentage of John Berry as being the son of William and so have refrained from mentioning participation in his entry. The official resolution of this reads as follows: "Wee James Berry son of William Berry of sandy Beach : Deceased : & John Berry & Joshua Foss Grand children of the said Wm Berry Deceasd have Mutually agreed on the Divission of the Neck of Land Granted the said Wm Berry : about Sixty years since, and in our possessn Ever Since sd Wm Berry Deceas'd : & for our Quiet and that Each Brother & Brothes child may Know his own proper part, have agreed on the six Divisions as above Made, and in testimony of our agreement have hereunto set our hands this thirteenth Day of June in the yeare of our Lord one thousand Seven hundred and Seventeen -=-=-=-=-=-=- The surname is derived from the noun bury, or burrough, meaning a settled town, or place of safety of defense - of English origin. The name Adam de la Bury is cited as an instance of the name in the earliest history of English patronymics.

Yes Energy Management Fraudulent Billing, bill not sent until late, and won't process credit card over phone until past due Jacksonville Florida
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
Before working with this company, I have never missed a payment or paid late on anything, ever. When I moved into Elan Village in San Jose, they forced me to use Yes Energy Managment out of Jacksonville for water and garbage. The first month, I did not receive a bill. However, the next month, I received a bill after its own due date for both the current month (April) and the first month (March). I paid it, and the late fees, though I wasn't happy about it. The next month, no bill. I tried to call them, but I didn't have the access number, as I didn't have a bill, and there was no live person available to talk to. So here I am now, with a bill having arrived in June to both May and June, late fees and all, due tomorrow - and their phone system will not let me make a payment. It is showing up on my credit card (three times actually) but stated that it would not go through on the phone. I don't know how long these criminals think they can get away with this, but I fully intend to sue if this situation is not resolved promptly.

Yes Energy Management Michigan Apartment Tenants Forced to Pay for Gas
SUBMITTED: Tuesday, February 24, 2015POSTED: Tuesday, February 24, 2015
Yes Energy Managment goes around the US and provides Meter Services to apartment places just to suck in a quick buck off poor people. As if renting an apartment isn't already expensive enough this greedy company has to go around and put their fingers in our cookie jar.
Here is what YES Energey Managment does with your money:
They strike a 60/40 percent deal with your apartment complex giving them back 40 percent of the intake generated, basicaly just to provide billing and account services to rentors and sucking them dry of their paychecks. No honest apartment complex will charge tenants for gas and water, matter of fact not charging for gas and water is usally a standard practice in getting people to rent with their community. Anyone that charges for gas and water is simply on the take, and this is a legal way for them to get more rent money while pretending your paying for a service. Rent rates are topped out, so partnering up with revenue generation crooks like YES Energy Managment lines the pockets of the elites and screws the poor working class.
My very first bill from YES Energy was even calculated wrong. I monitored my meter everyday for 30 days. The usage stats did not add up. I called them and got no customer service. I will not use my credit card when paying my bill for security reasons. I think any apartment owner that takes part in this garbage should lose all their rentors. It doesn't cost you that much to provide gas to any tenant. If your spending too much for Gas, then maybe you should upgrade your buildings to be more heat effeciant.
YES Energy = NO in my book check out my video about Yes Energy Managment

Network Morning Shows Bash Oil Companies on 'April Fuel's Day'
About once a year, Congress brings in oil executives, with the media piling on, and blames oil company profits for high gas prices.
Across the dial, all three network morning shows on April 1 - ABC's "Good Morning America," NBC's "Today," and CBS's "The Early Show" - characterized "big oil" as the culprit behind an increase in gas prices.
On ABC's April 1 "Good Morning America," which headlined one of its segments "April Fuel's Day," Chris Cuomo questioned why oil companies aren't taxed more while they're posting higher profits.
"Congress is calling all the oil companies on the carpet today," Cuomo said. "Lawmakers want to know why big oil needs billions in tax breaks while posting record profits of $123 billion. Consumers want answers too. Gas now runs $3.29 a gallon, up three cents from last week and 58 percent higher than last year. Oil executives argue they need tax breaks to expand production."
But punishing oil companies with a higher tax burden will not make things any better. The Heritage Foundation's Ben Lieberman pointed this out on a previous attempt by Congress to interfere in the gasoline market.
"Many in Congress are looking to provide Americans with relief at the gas pump, but raising taxes on the oil industry is not the way to do it," Lieberman wrote. "The track record for punitive measures like the windfall profits tax shows that they usually harm consumers along with the targeted industry."
The April 1 CBS "Early Show" also went after oil companies, questioning why they're "raking in huge profits."
"If gas prices seem painfully high right now, you're absolutely right. They just hit a new record," CBS correspondent Chip Reid said. "It's no wonder drivers are angry. The price of gas is burning holes in their pockets. According to AAA, the average price of unleaded regular has hit a new high, just under $3.29 a gallon. Only a year ago it was $2.67 a gallon. That's up 25 percent, an annual increase that AAA calls staggering. And it comes at a time when oil companies are raking in huge profits."
Executives from ExxonMobil (NYSE:XOM), Chevron (NYSE:CVX), ConocoPhillips (NYSE:COP), Shell (LON:RDSA) and BP [British Petroleum] (LON:BP) were all scheduled to testify before the House Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming - the committee set up by Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) that has no legislative authority.

Liverpool v Man City Prediction
Liverpool v Man City Prediction:
Wednesday, 25 January 2012
Carling League Cup
Liverpool v Man City, (agg 1-0), SF, L2, 19:45
Author: Thomas Rooney 24/01/2012
A place in the Carling Cup final awaits for Liverpool or Manchester City as they go head to head in the second-leg of their semi-final clash on Wednesday evening.
It is Liverpool who lead from the first leg of course. They came away from the Etihad Stadium a couple of weeks ago with a 1-0 victory, with a Steven Gerrard penalty the only goal of the game.
They will now be desperate to make this advantage count and progress to the first Wembley final of the season. It would certainly be a welcome boost after a far from positive few weeks for Kenny Dalglish's men.
In fact, the win at City in the first-leg stands out as their only genuine positive moment from the last month or so. There have of course been off the field issues, but things haven't been much better on the pitch.
Since the first-leg victory, Liverpool played a bizarrely negative team at home to Stoke City and drew 0-0 before a 3-1 defeat at relegation threatened Bolton. After the defeat at the Reebok Stadium, Dalglish publically criticised his players, so he will want a response from them on Wednesday night.
As for City, well they have won two Premier League games since the first-leg, keeping themselves on top of the table and three points clear of rivals Manchester United.
The victory over Tottenham on Sunday was particularly significant for Roberto Mancini's men. It meant that Spurs fell eight points behind them in the league, which is a significant gap at this stage of the season.
It is all about the Carling Cup for now though. When City won the FA Cup last year, they said it was the first of many pieces of silverware and this year's Carling Cup is the latest piece up for grabs.
It would show a lot of character for the Premier League leaders to overturn the first-leg deficit too. If they can come away from Anfield with a place in the final, it will have displayed their extremely encouraging winning mentality.
The team news for two Premier League big guns in the Carling Cup is always interesting, but on this occasion it looks as if they will play as strong a team as they possibly can. With a Championship team set to be the opposition in the final, both teams know this is an excellent shot at a trophy.
Liverpool may be tempted into a few changes though, given how poor the performance was at Bolton last time out. As for City, they will be without suspended captain Vincent Kompany as well as Yaya and Kolo Toure who are on African Cup of Nations Duty.
Overall, it should be a fascinating match on Wednesday evening. Knowing they need to win the game, City will be positive from the first whistle and this could lead to a very open contest.
It is a tough one to call in terms of a prediction, but City are in good spirits after the weekend and their attacking approach could be too much for Liverpool.

The Euro: We Have Liftoff!
The mood was giddy just about everywhere on the Continent as Europe's new currency, the euro, made its grand debut. In Frankfurt, dignitaries ceremoniously launched Germany's first euro-denominated stock trading on the morning of Jan. 4 as strobe lights flashed and the uplifting strains of Beethoven's Ode to Joy wafted through the bourse. Stock markets from Frankfurt to Paris to Milan responded to the euphoria by soaring more than 8% over the next three days.
The triumphant music seems appropriate, at least for now. After years of skepticism from critics on the Continent and abroad, Europe has its common currency. To the delight of its champions, the euro is a robust newborn, not the pipsqueak its doubters had expected. The $1.17 kickoff rate set by European authorities already includes a rise of about 10% in major European currencies during the runup to the new currency this fall. According to J.P. Morgan, the euro will climb a further 12% by yearend, to $1.31.
NEW GAME. Even without such a dramatic rise, the euro is a force to be reckoned with. The long-term effects of melding an 11-nation, $6.5 trillion, 290 million-person region into one economic and financial bloc are giving Continental Europe new cachet. Companies around the world are eager to exploit what they hope will become a true single market. If the euro acts as a catalyst for regulatory and economic reform, nudging the Continent away from its socialist-flavored capitalism, Europe could become a competitive power, attracting new investment from around the globe.
Already, the euro has instantly created a $2 trillion government bond market, 20% bigger than the U.S.'s, and should over time expand anemic Continental stock markets and corporate bond markets to nearly U.S. dimensions. That potential makes Europe a compelling investment story for foreigners and locals alike. "Now that there is no fragmentation of European currencies, we expect to see enormous investment flows into the new currency," says Luis Manas, deputy chief financial officer at Spanish oil company Repsol.
That prospect changes the game for Washington as well as Wall Street. From now on, the world's central bankers must watch the euro while setting their own monetary policy. The U.S. Federal Reserve may find that the upstart challenges the dollar as a reserve currency. That could alter monetary policy: With every move it makes, the Fed would have to take into account the effect on the dollar-euro rate. Tokyo, instead of monitoring just the crucial yen-dollar relationship that regulates the Japanese export machine, must now keep a nervous eye on the euro-dollar link as well. On the bright side, a strong euro will help Japan export more to Europe.
Underpinning the new currency's initial strength are potent economic fundamentals. Economic growth in the euro zone is expected to rival the 2% rate projected for the U.S. this year. And despite the falloff in Asian demand, Goldman, Sachs & Co. expects the region's current-account surplus to hit $109.6 billion, slightly more than last year. That compares with the punishing $250 billion-plus deficit projected for the U.S. "There will be upward pressure on the euro against the dollar for the next year or two," predicts Richard Portes, president of the Centre for Economic Policy Research in London.
At the same time, the euro virtually ensures that European governments keep their fiscal houses in order. Under euro zone membership rules, national deficits must be less than 3% of gross domestic product. Meeting that rule drove inflation in the region down to 0.9% late last year, compared with 1.7% in the U.S. "I'm still bullish on the European economy," says Leonhard Fischer, a board member at Germany's Dresdner Bank. "Despite all the troubles in the world, I think that in Europe the dynamics of the euro will take over."
POLITICAL BACKLASH? A strong euro would be welcome in most of the rest of the world, too. It would ease the economic crisis in Asia and other emerging markets by helping make companies there more competitive when selling to Europe. It also would lessen the strain of the trade deficit on the U.S. economy by giving American exporters a similar boost.
But there's a dark side to those dynamics. For Europe to prosper, the euro can't soar too high. A too-strong euro could increase strains inherent in the new monetary union. The euro bloc throws together nations with vastly different financial traditions and growth prospects, under one low interest rate tailored for slow-growth Germany and France. The current boom in fast-growth nations like Spain and Ireland could turn into a Japan-style bust if it lasts too long. And rigid labor regulations mean that pockets of high unemployment could crop up in Germany and France at the first hint of recession.
If that happens, pessimists fear that Europe's new left-wing governments will abandon fiscal prudence and go back to their old tax-and-spend policies. That in turn will undermine global confidence in the new currency and send investors fleeing. "How we manage our economy and how Europe manages its economy will ultimately determine the euro's value," predicts Deputy Treasury Secretary Lawrence H. Summers.
Another danger of a supereuro is political backlash. Leaders in Germany and France, which account for more than half of the euro zone's GDP, fear that by depressing growth, business investment, and consumer confidence, a too-strong currency could stall the Continent's already dicey economic recovery. That's one reason German Finance Minister Oskar Lafontaine is calling for a formal trading band to forestall huge swings between the euro, dollar, and yen. U.S. officials reject the idea, but the Japanese are entertaining it, prodded by the Germans and French.
Indeed, the left-of-center governments that have come to power across Europe in the last 18 months are counting on a euro-related boost to help slash the region's unemployment rate, which averaged 11% last year. A supereuro could slam European exports, slow business investment, and kill off the consumer recovery the politicians are counting on. Goldman Sachs equity strategist Peter Sullivan figures that a 15% rise in the euro, to about $1.35, would be enough to begin stunting corporate profit growth and clobber booming Continental equity markets.
TAKEOVER BINGE. At least to begin with, the euro is likely to energize Europe's economy. Already, restructuring is rampant among its biggest companies. The massive mergers rumored to be imminent in the auto industry--with BMW, Volvo, and others believed to be takeover bait--are just one sign of the rush to build greater critical mass. One reason: For carmakers, consumer goods companies, retailers and others, the single currency is suddenly making prices transparent across national borders, unmasking protected profit havens, and forcing the overall level of prices down. Global players such as Volkswagen and DaimlerChrysler can better withstand the strain.
Plus, by boosting the balance sheets and share prices of European companies, a strong euro could accelerate Europe's buying spree in the U.S. Some analysts think Daimler Benz's $94 Billion takeover of Chrysler and Deutsche Bank's $9 billion bid for Bankers Trust were signs of a huge takeover binge to come. Germany's Dresdner Bank and the Netherlands' ABN-Amro are already scouting the U.S.
At the same time, U.S. companies in many sectors are mapping massive expansion plans. Investment banks such as Morgan Stanley Dean Witter, Merrill Lynch, and Goldman Sachs have moved whole teams of bankers from New York to Europe. In three short years, they have come to dominate European mergers and acquisitions. In retailing, Wal-Mart Stores Inc. has bought up two German chains and is building a major European presence. Long-entrenched U.S. companies know they have to beef up. "My guess is [the euro] will pull investment capital into Europe," says Mike Burns, the new head of General Motors Corp.'s European operation.
Euro skeptics may be underestimating the new currency's appeal in Asia, too. Tokyo-based Warburg Dillon Read economist Kazuko Mizuno predicts that Japanese life insurers, for instance, will quickly start shifting some of their massive investments into euro-denominated bonds. Toyota and other Japanese companies have announced big new investments in the euro zone, because they think the new currency will boost the Continent's economy.
WILD CARD. Buying by Asian central banks could also buoy the euro as they swap euros for dollars in their reserve holdings. The central banks say they plan to monitor the euro for now, but "there will definitely be some switching if the euro turns out to be a firm, stable currency," says Friedrich Wu, chief economist for state-owned Development Bank of Singapore. Some analysts think the banks will start buying sooner and faster than expected if the euro shows signs of a sustained rise against the dollar.
The wild card in the euro's prospects is interest rates. With U.S. growth at last projected to slow, to about 2% in 1999 after four unexpectedly strong years, economists figure that U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan will continue cutting rates from the current 4.75%. At least initially, the European Central Bank also has been easing. It orchestrated a cut to the current 3% in December, even before it officially took over monetary policy. Many economists expect another cut this year. Deutsche Bank thinks euro zone rates could go as low as 2.5% by midyear. That would make the euro a less attractive investment than the dollar even if Greenspan eases considerably.
But the ECB is trying to use its accommodating stance as a carrot for European policymakers. The bank continues to call for more deregulation and other economic reforms. "When the central bankers eased in December, they were saying to the politicians, `You have to follow through with structural and labor market reforms,"' says Frankfurt-based Bank Julius Baer economist Gerhard Grebe. European central bankers know that a new currency alone won't cure what still ails the Old World. But for now, it's a pretty good tonic.

A community shredding event is a great community service. Everyone's invited to bring their confidential documents to be destroyed on site for a minimal fee or donation to a local charity.
One of the most successful shredding events held by global document destruction leader Shred-it occurred in a Rhode Island community last spring. Over 1,300 vehicles showed up for the event, and they handed over more than 16 tons of paper for destruction.
What are some of insights drawn from this kind of event?
Data breaches are top of mind. Identity theft is one of the biggest concerns in and out of the workplace. In 2015, the number of identity fraud victims was at its second highest level in six years. According to the 2016 Identity Fraud Study by Javelin, identity fraud cost 13.1 million U.S. consumers a total of $15 billion in 2015.
"We're not digital yet". Statistics show that the average office worker still uses over 10,000 pieces of copy paper a year. In fact, every business – and home – ends up with confidential information on paper ranging from addresses on envelopes and credit card statements to various documents containing business and financial information.
DIY shredding machines aren't reliable. Office shredding machines are often strip shredders – and these are the least secure because the strips of paper can be reassembled. Also, these machines are labor intensive which means a lot of the time, paper is left stockpiled and not secure. Professional document destruction utilizes cross-cut shredding technology so that paper becomes confetti-like. Specialized shred sizes should be offered to meet different industry requirements.
Security is critical. At a community shredding event, a secure chain of custody should be evident with security trained experts and secure destruction. In the workplace, an experienced document destruction company will provide locked consoles for the collection and storage of documents that need to be destroyed.
Prioritize compliance. Businesses are more aware than ever of the importance of privacy laws and compliance, according to the 2016 Shred-it State of the Industry Report. Privacy laws require timely document disposal, and there are fines for non-compliance. A professional shredding partner will provide a Certificate of Destruction after every shred.
Avoid the trash or recycling bin. Earlier research has shown that Americans receive over 4 million tons of junk mail every year (much of it contains personal information), and it often ends up in the trash. Dumpster-divers go through trash for this kind of information. To prevent identity theft, documents must be securely destroyed at the end of their useful life.
Recycling and shredding go hand-in-hand. After documents are shredded, a reliable document destruction service provider will send the confetti-sized pieces for recycling. According to the American Forest & Paper Association, a record 66.8% of paper consumed in the U.S. was recovered for recycling in 2015.Shred-it reports that two consoles filled with paper will save one tree through recycling. Shred-it also provides customers with an annual certificate of environmental accomplishment that shows how many trees have been saved by the company.
Keeping the work area clean and tidy is a strategy everyone can use to protect confidential information.

DALTON -- In train show enthusiast Jon Ulbright's 30 years promoting trade shows, Sunday's was the largest one in memory to roll into Wayne County.
The event offered "544 tables and 10 running layouts," Ulbright said at the Buckeye Event Center in Dalton. The train and toy show, held twice a year, at the event center was the 10th one held since he moved it there in 2008; the first show he held in 1984 saw roughly 100 exhibitors.
Ulbright's childhood hobby saw collectors, dealers, club members and people who are just plain interested in trains from across Ohio and the surrounding states.
"When I was 5 years old I got my first train," which he called "Old Betsy" Ulbright explained, and which he still has in his collection. "From that point on I was a train fiend."
"I've been coming to this show ever since (Ulbright) started it here five years ago," said Stan Warzecha, of Detroit, Mich. "(Trains) have been a lifelong passion," as he helped enthusiasts sort through his collection of Lionels and other die cast train cars.
Ulbright explained having a presence along U.S. Route 30 and a wide-open venue of the Dalton center has helped him continue to grow the event and bring people in from more places in the country.
"I was able to get two people from (the state of) Delaware to make the drive," he said.
But the addition of collectible toy dealers has also increased the draw and appeal. Ulbright said the show's makeup is still 75 percent trains. He continues to grow the event by increasing the variety too, as dealers with parts, books and movies featuring trains and their unique history were spread across the entire room. New this year, as an example, Ulbright said he recruited a dealer who sells stamps for folks who renovate old toy trains.
"If you rebuild one of those, where else are you going to get a stamp like that?" he said.
But the bread and butter of the train show was the amount of layouts which feature trains running on tracks in unique setups. These running layouts, Ulbright said, are something that helps bring families together and gives children something to grab their interest.
"If we are going to keep this hobby alive for the next generation," the train layouts need to show off the hobby, he explained. "There's a gap between my generation and the current one ... people who grew up in the 1980s or 1990s, they had other toys. We have to get young people interested."
For Ulbright, and the hundreds of people at Sunday's show, trains and collectible toys are more than a hobby.
"I think everyone needs a diversion, or some sort of recreation or interest," Ulbright explained. "It's therapeutic in my case and I can kind of let go."
Bill Newhouse, of Silver Lake, said he has enjoyed trains since his childhood days. He was operating one of the running layouts set up with the Cuyahoga Valley S Gauge Association, a club which comes together and promotes the 3/16 -inch train models.
"A part of it is trying to capture childhood memories," Newhouse explained at one of the group's traveling layouts. "I don't really know what it is, but when you come home and the trains start smoking there's a magic to it."
When a couple small children showed up to Newhouse's layout and they left with smiles on their faces, he said, "There's why we do it ... when you see the smiles on their faces."

Kids' Health
Check out these meal ideas (breakfast, lunch, and dinner!) for active kids, which include the key nutrients young athletes need to grow big and strong.
BreakfastBreakfast should include a source of quality protein and sufficient complex carbohydrates to keep children sufficiently fueled. An omelet with whole grain toast, some hash browns, and a glass of orange juice is a great choice. Or try a bowl of oatmeal with slices of banana and berries and a Greek yogurt.
LunchSomething as simple as a turkey sandwich with two slices on whole wheat bread, some lettuce, and a teaspoon of mayonnaise, and a ¼ cup of baby carrots is an ideal lunch that won't make your child feel bloated or weighed down.
Game-Time SnackNuts or trail mix with dried fruit make a nutrient-dense snack if your child wants or needs to eat during his activity. Smoothies are also a healthful choice that kids enjoy. They are easy and fun to make and you can either prepare them beforehand and transport them in insulated travel cups, or throw one together when you get home. If kids are involved in making smoothies, they will be more inclined to drink them. Ideally, you want to give your child just enough sustenance to replenish his energy and tide him over until dinner.
DinnerDinner after a game or activity should also include roasted, baked, or broiled lean cuts of poultry or fish; greens such as steamed or sautéed broccoli; and a side of whole grains such as brown rice, pasta, or quinoa topped with some parmesan cheese. Including beans such as chickpeas will add nutritional value to her meal.
Therefore, roughly half of your child's total daily calories should come from carbohydrates, a more efficient source of energy than protein or fat.
Think: grains such as cereals, breads, quinoa, rice, and pastas (at least half of which should be whole grains), all colors and types of vegetables, fruits (fresh, frozen, or canned are fine, but limit fruit juice), and low- or non-fat dairy products
Grade-A Choices: bananas, potatoes, and fat-free or low-fat yogurt or milk contain potassium and carbohydrates, which are particularly important for refueling after exercise.
Calories from fat are a good source of fuel for the active child, providing a higher concentration of energy than carbs or protein, optimal for low to moderate intensity exercise like cycling and walking.
Think: unsaturated fats such as nuts and seeds, avocado, fish, poultry and lean cuts of meat, and vegetable oils
Guidelines: Children between the ages of 4 and 18 should keep their total fat intake to between 25-35 percent.
Protein, of course, helps kids grow and build muscle, but children typically need less than you might think.
Think: lean or low-fat meat, poultry, or fish as well as plant-based proteins such as soy products, beans, peas, nuts, nut butters, and seeds
Guidelines: Younger children only require 5-20 percent of their total daily calories to come from protein, while older children need 10-30 percent.
And it's the best choice for staying hydrated. Physically active children need to stay well hydrated to prevent overheating and to aid in removing the wastes produced by active muscles. Being even slightly dehydrated can dramatically affect performance.
Guidelines: Children need to drink at least six 8-ounce cups of water per day, with an additional 8 ounces for every half hour of strenuous activity.
H20 Alternatives: Dilute 100-percent fruit juice or sports drinks—these help to supply carbohydrates that can be used to replenish energy. Low-fat milk, including chocolate milk, may be one of the most effective beverages for muscle recovery after intense activity, new research suggests.

|Canyon Springs in San Antonio is a spectacular Texas public golf course, reader Brad Flechtner says. (Courtesy canyonspringsgc.com)
Although the golf course never became the premier Texas golf resort it was originally planned to be, Canyon Springs Golf Club in San Antonio still offers 18 holes of skill-challenging golf shots. It is a spectacular Texas public golf course that winds through several newly developed residential communities.
Gary Player protégé Thomas Walker laid this one out, and he's received accolades for the course's natural feel, despite the route through the homes and the overwhelming level of development.
His design features giant oak trees; huge, undulating greens; prominent bunkering; and elevated tees. Throughout the round you'll face a good combination of split fairways, blind tee and approach shots, forced carries, and fairways that are both generous and unforgiving. Rock formations and precision placed artifacts dot the landscape, as thick, gnarly rough awaits anything off the fairway.
Each side's finishing hole features a beautiful waterfall. The 18th is the most talked about: a 400-yard par 4 that plays from an elevated tee down to a fairway bordered by a creek and waterfalls.
This is an exceptionally developed golf course with all the ammeneties. I recommend anyone who visits the wonderful city of San Antonio, take time to plan a trip to this challenging yet relieving golf course.

Any opinions expressed above are those of the writer and do not necessarily represent the views of the management.
Cougar Point Golf Course at Kiawah Island Golf Resort "is a real winner and one Gary Player made sure would be a crowd pleaser among the many courses in the Charleston area," writes WorldGolf.com reader Elliot DeBear. "Cougar Point is a perfect resort course, challenging when played from the correct tees with beautifully laid out holes."

The Greenville Drive have announced that Eric Jarinko has been promoted to Vice President--Assistant General Manager. Jarinko, a 2004 graduate of Clemson University, is currently in his eighth season with the Drive.
The Greenville Drive have announced that Eric Jarinko has been promoted to Vice President--Assistant General Manager. Jarinko, a 2004 graduate of Clemson University, is currently in his eighth season with the Drive.
"Eric's promotion to Assistant General Manager is well-earned, as he personifies what the Drive brand stands for," commented Drive President and Co-Owner Craig Brown. "Eric has been a crucial member of our front office since the Drive's Inaugural Season and we take great pride in his accomplishments and in adding important responsibilities to his already impressive career with the Drive."
"We couldn't have found a better person for this position," noted Drive General Manager Mike deMaine. "Eric's track record and experience speaks for itself, and the relationships he has formed and continues to form with the Greenville community are a key reason why the Drive organization has had much of the success that it has had.
"Eric's commitment to excellence and willingness to put in extra effort are just a few reasons why he has been so successful during his time with the Drive," added deMaine. "He's creative, he's passionate about baseball and he is extremely dedicated to ensuring that the fan experience at Fluor Field is the best in Minor League Baseball."
Last season, Jarinko served as the Drive's Vice President of Ballpark Experience, where he oversaw the organization's media relations and sponsor services while integrating new methods and techniques to ensure the highest level of customer service for all fans at Fluor Field.
Prior to last season, he served as Senior Director of Media and Marketing Services from 2010-11 and Media Relations Director from 2006-09. During that time period, he was named South Atlantic League Media Relations Director of the Year in 2009 and 2010. In addition, Jarinko was named by Greenville Business Magazine as one of their "35 Best Under 35" in 2011.
During his time with the Drive, Jarinko has worked side-by-side with the Upstate media outlets to optimize the organization's exposure, while also serving as the Drive's liaison for all corporate partner relationships including Greenville Hospital System, BI-LO, Duke Energy, and Southwest Airlines.
"Success usually comes to those who are too busy to look for it," said Brown. "It is wonderful to be able to formally recognize Eric's contributions to our success with this promotion. Eric has a very bright future and we are very pleased to add this title to what he has already accomplished."

OU Law Professor and Student Attend U.S. State Department's Advisory Committee on International Law Meeting
On June 20, Professor Evelyn Aswad and rising 3L Stacey Lehne attended the State Department's Advisory Committee on International Law (ACIL) meeting in Washington, DC.

Through the Committee, the Department of State obtains the views and advice of a cross section of the country's legal profession on significant issues of international law.

Getting Around the Bay in 2012 Just Got Harder and More Expensive
Last year, commuters of all kinds came to terms with one fact: getting somewhere, anywhere, is harder than it used to be. Here in the Bay Area, drivers faced higher gas prices and bridge tolls.
In the East Bay, AC Transit riders dealt with fewer bus lines and increased fares. San Francisco MUNI riders faced changing routes as well. All in all, 2011 meant more cost, and oftentimes more waiting for drivers and riders. And it might not get better this year. Here's a transcript of a Q&A we're airing today about 2012 transportation funding issues in the Bay Area.
You can listen to the interview here
HOST: Julie, what's changed for people who ride public transit in the Bay Area?
JULIE: The biggest change people here will notice are cuts to the commuter benefit--that's a stimulus-funded public transportation benefit that recently expired. Basically, this was a program that reimbursed workers for transportation costs, tax-free, and that includes both parking and public transit. Last year, the government subsidized both equally--$230 a year. This year, the benefit for parking is going up, but the public transit one has dropped by almost half, down to $125.
HOST: How will that impact workers in the Bay Area?
JULIE: Well, I met BART commuter Julio Alfaro on his way to work, and asked him how the cut in the public transit benefit would affect him.
ALFARO: It would hurt a lot. Cutting the subsidy in half with the fact that they're raising rates as well, just you know, takes more money out of your pocket. And where does that money come from? You take it from your entertainment portion, or your food portion, or your housing portion. It's got to come from somewhere.
HOST: Julie, he's talking about how to make up the extra money. Is this a problem for other people?
JULIE: Alfaro's right that the money does have to come from somewhere. The Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that most people already spend more on transportation costs than on anything else except for housing.
HOST: And what about the difference between subsidies for parking and transit? What are the implications for that?
JULIE: When you subsidize parking, it means more people drive and public transit use goes down. Right now in the Bay Area, those numbers are pretty even--about a third of commuters get to work by car, and another third use public transit. But the changes to the commuter benefit might really affect that balance. Think about it: If you get more money from your employer to park and less money to take the bus, then you might be tempted to drive more. And that could mean more congestion on the roads, and more emissions in the air. The commuter I spoke with, Julio Alfaro, had something to say about that, too.
ALFARO: If they're trying to get people to commute more on public transportation, and less pollution and everything, it's ridiculous that they would encourage people by upping the parking and lowering the public transportation subsidies. It makes no sense. but we are talking about the Federal government, and they don't always make a whole lot of sense.
HOST: Now Julie, you mentioned BART, but I'd imagine this affects other local transit systems as well.
JULIE: Absolutely, especially agencies like MUNI and AC Transit. MUNI'S looking at an almost $80 million dollar budget gap in the next two years. And in general, San Francisco's trying hard to get people to take transit. So this could make it more difficult.
HOST: So that's a national issue. What about state cuts?
JULIE:Last month, Governor Jerry Brown announced a new round of state budget cuts, called "trigger" cuts because they were triggered by a lack of revenue. Those are also now in effect. The biggie for transportation was that school bus funding was completely gutted -- close to $250 million in cuts. School advocates say that will affect close to a million low-income and special needs students statewide. They'll have a much harder time getting to school. In the Bay Area, Oakland Unified School District is losing $5 million dollars in state transportation funding. They're going to use their reserve fund to keep from cutting services. San Francisco's already been hit hard by state budget cuts; they're losing about a quarter of their school bus service.
HOST: So how will those students get to school?
JULIE: Well, Federal law says that school districts have to provide transportation for special needs students, so many districts will be dipping into their reserves to do that. But for general ed students, they're going to have to get to school however they can. In a press conference, Governor Brown said these choices are hard, but necessary.
JERRY BROWN: You can't provide money you don't have. You either cut or you tax--there is no third way. There's no alternative. As governor of California, I'm sensitive to what these cuts do to real people, but I'm also aware that over time, California does have to balance its budget, and exercise fiscal discipline.
HOST: Julie, before we let you go, give us an update on high speed rail.
JULIE: Yes, that's the other big news. A peer review panel appointed by the state just issued a very critical report, basically recommending that the Legislature not borrow the money it needs to start building this year. They said that the biggest problem with the plan is that the Rail Authority hasn't been able to secure any additional money for the project, aside from what's already been approved.
HOST: How much is that?
JULIE: There's the $9 billion voter-approved bond, and then $3.3 billion in federal grants. The project's supposed to cost $100 billion. Given that there's no other money, the panel said that the plan to build the train isn't financially feasible. Needless to say, the Rail Authority disagrees.
HOST: So what happens now?
JULIE: Republican state legislators are considering pushing legislation to block spending the bond. Governor Brown says he still says he still supports the project, so we'll see what happens with the Republican bill. The Legislature reconvenes today.

Live in Phoenix, how is the AC?
Hello all!
I'm struggling on the decision between the X3 and Q5. I really like both of them for various reasons, and have tried to read up on the forums to figure out which would be the better driver for me.
Today, my question is about the effectiveness of the air conditioning in the X3 (I've asked the same question about the Q5 over in AudiWorld). I live in Phoenix AZ, and I have to park my car completely exposed to the sun at work.
My current Infiniti G35x does a pretty good job overall. Even on a crazy hot day, the car is fairly comfortable in about 5 minutes.
So, how does the X3 do? I've read a few forum posts about the AC not being great in general in BMWs, but most of the forum posts I've seen on the topic are a bit old.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
I hope the new systems are better than the old ones! When the daughter was going to UofA (Go Cats!) I spent time down there in a 7 series and the A/C was not quite useless but next to it as far as handling those 120 degree days! Sold the 7 and bought a Tahoe which I needed for other reasons, but the pleasant surprise was the GM A/C which would chill beef even on the hottest days! Also had airport rental Buicks back then that were also light years better than the 7 series in the A/C category. If you want a benchmark to check the X3 A/C performance against go to the Chev/GMC store and test drive one of their trucks on a 120 degree day back to back with the BMW.:angel:
I've been very satisfied with the AC. Michigan summers can get quite hot, and the car has always cooled down quickly after sitting 8+ hours in the full sun. I have the Oyster seats which might help a little.
In addition to evaluating the A/C, take note that the shield over the moon roof in the Q5 is (according to a review I read) more transluscent than the X3 due to the giant size of the Q5's moonroof. That (moon roof size) in and of itself is another issue. The air between the glass and the inside cover gets superheated. The worse it's insulated from the cabin, the more that super heated air will affect the cabin temperature.

Crestview Cadillac - Outstanding Service!!!
I went to the dealership to have several items repaired this morning. The dealership clearly exceeded my expectations:
1. Heated Steering Wheel - not working
2. Keyless entry works intermittently (at best) both drivers and passenger side
3. Ticking noise from the passenger side pesky purge valve?
Its rather interesting the heated steering wheel and keyless entry stopped working all around the same time.
All three items were covered under CPO. Heated Steering Wheel (in-stock no joke!), Purge valve replaced, both door handles replaced after $100 deductible - Dealer wanted ~ $293 per handle, including paint. I contacted Cadillac Customer Service to inquire whether the keyless entry/door handle would be covered under CPO. Customer Service advised it was not, since the door handle is considered trim, but they called the dealer and worked out the difference provided I agreed to pay the $100. OK, deal!
Oh, dealer found and replaced a worn front hub (thanks again CPO) and I paid for rear brakes, a 4-wheel alignment, and they cleaned the throttle body and reset the idle. Finally, CPO paid for the rental car
All of this work was completed in less than a day. I wish all of my dealership visits were this smooth
Re: Crestview Cadillac - Outstanding Service!!!
CPO is an extension of the OEM warranty. Of course it covers entry issues. Anyone that told you different is blowing something (smoke up your kilt?) I agree that $100 is a pittance. Throttle body cleaning is a good value. These cars hold wheel alignment well, so that was probably more an investment in peace-of-mind.
I'm glad to hear of your satisfaction. I've found most dealers want that.
Did they wash your car?

Re: Crestview Cadillac - Outstanding Service!!!
When I bought the car, it had the remaining factory four year warranty then CPO kicks in for another two. When I called Cadillace Customer Serivce, they advised the keyless entry would not be covered directly as door handles are considered trim components. After talking about that for a little while, they offered to pick up the entire cost provided I was willing to pay a $100 toward the repaid. Again, in the grand scheme, each door handles was going to be $293 (parts and paint). $100 seemed fair. Cadillac Customer Service called back the next day to see how satisfied I was with the repairs...again, great customer service!
Yes, dealership washed the car too!
Re: Crestview Cadillac - Outstanding Service!!!
Not sure if its the same Crestview but look for yourself.
Check out my review from Donna M.

Quick Take
- We believe that ANF has bright growth prospects from its focus on online sales, improving its average unit retail (AUR) and improving customer engagement.
- Abercrombie is maintaining tight inventory control and increasing vendor collaborations to improve its AUR.
- A global market research study and club programs are helping the retailer in improving customer engagement.
- The consolidation of ANF stores in the U.S. and expansion of Hollister abroad will lead to healthy growth and better margins.
After struggling through most of last year, Abercrombie & Fitch's (NYSE:ANF) shares surged by almost 30% in November 2012, after its earnings beat market expectations. The retailer posted good results fueled by fewer markdowns and controlled expansion.
Key drivers to our estimates include growth in its e-commerce business, a focus on improving AUR (average unit retail or average price per unit) and enhancing customer engagement. The consolidation of underperforming ANF stores in the U.S. and Hollister's expansion abroad will also help the retailer's cause. (Read: Abercrombie & Fitch's U.S. Consolidation And Targeted Expansion Abroad Will Help Profitability, ANF Has Upside Potential With Hollister's Expansion Abroad)
Direct-To-Consumer Business
Online apparel sales in the U.S. have been increasing at a rapid pace due to growing Internet usage and the proliferation of smartphones and tablets. Major players such as Urban Outfitters (NASDAQ:URBN), American Eagle Outfitters (NYSE:AEO) and Gap (NYSE:GPS) have thrived from this trend and Abercrombie is no different. [1] The retailer's direct-to-consumer revenue growth averaged nearly 35% annually between 2010 and 2012. [2] We expect this growth to continue in the future due to the positive outlook of the online retail market in the U.S. and Abercrombie's launch of its e-commerce sites for international markets.
Forrester forecasts that the U.S. online retail sales will amount to $262 billion in 2013 (an increase of 13% over 2012) and reach $370 billion by 2017. [3] Based on the historical trends, we expect online apparel sales growth to remain faster than the overall online retail sales growth in the U.S. (Read: How Abercrombie & Fitch's Online Revenue Growth Impacts Its Stock Value) In addition, Abercrombie launched its e-commerce site in Europe in 2012, and we expect the retailer to add more markets to this list in the future.
The direct to consumer segment accounts for about 40% of the company's value, according to our estimates.
Improving Average Unit Retail (AUR)
Abercrombie has faced difficulty in managing its inventory in the recent past. This resulted in excessive promotional discounts leading to a decline in average unit retail (average price per unit). This not only impacted the retailer's comparable store sales but also weighed on its margins. Recently, the company created a cross-functional team with a senior level leader to specifically work on identifying ways to improve average prices. [4] The most important factor on this front is inventory management. If Abercrombie can maintain proper inventory levels, it can operate with fewer promotional discounts, leading to an increase in average price per unit.
Abercrombie is looking to increase its inventory at a much slower pace than its sales growth. Low carryover of fall inventory in Q4 fiscal 2012, and 35% lower inventory (as compared Q4 fiscal 2011) at the end of the same quarter were indicative of this effort. [4] This helped Abercrombie in reducing the number of markdowns and improve its margins. The retailer is also increasing its vendor collaborations to utilize its supply chain expertise during product development cycle, which will help in timely delivery of merchandise. [4] Ultimately, this should lead to an increase in full priced sales resulting in better AUR. Abercrombie has a diverse supply chain with more than 150 vendors across 20 countries with no single vendor accounting for more than 10% of its inventory. [2] This maintains the supply chain's efficiency even if some vendors fail to respond in a timely manner.
Better Customer Engagement
Abercrombie recently initiated its first global market research study to better understand customers and competitors in different markets such as North America, Europe and Asia. [4] Also, the retailer launched a loyalty club program for its ANF brand last year that offers discounts, gift certificates and other rewards. It provides free shipping for online orders and access to exclusive music videos and photo galleries on its website. [5]
In the initial stages of this program, more than 750,000 customers signed up and started buying more than the regular customers. Towards the end of the fourth quarter, this figure increased to more than 1.5 million. This is in addition to 3.5 million existing customer contacts. Such programs will help Abercrombie in keeping the customers interested in its brands. [4] The company is seeing gains from its social media presence as well as fan's of Hollister's Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) page exceeded 10 million. [6] Moreover, the brand was among the top five non-paid trending topics on Twitter during Black Friday for the second consecutive year. [4] We believe this strong connection with its core customers through social media sites like Facebook and Twitter leads to better customer engagement that will help drive more online sales, which bodes well for the company's outlook.
Our price estimate for Abercrombie & Fitch stands at $51, which is in line with the market price. However should these factors lead to faster sales growth than we expect, we could see upside to our estimates. For example if Internet and catalog revenues are 20% higher by the end of our forecast period, this leads to 10% upside in our estimates.

Effective way to harden shins?

I'm a little scared to say that I agree with Xeberus to some degree. The fact is, is that if you're feeling serious pain, then you're doing more damage than your body is going to be able to heal. If pain automatically equals gain, then every martial artist would be breaking their limbs as often as they can so that they heal back oh so much stronger. But it doesn't work like that. But along those lines, I also agree with Squirrelfighter - there needs to be a certain degree of actual pain. I think, honestly, it's a case of semantics. Maybe what one person considers "discomfort" to someone else is "mild pain", or vice versa.
Although it's kind of a nitpick argument, the fact of the matter is that minor damage does equal growth. That's the way bones are strengthened, or as you technical folk say, "trebuculi is developed"(?). If that particular bone isn't damaged, your body doesn't recognize the fact that it needs to be reinforced. I actually read recently (you're going to laugh at this) in a 'zombie apocalypse' discussion that one of the reasons a zombie apoc' wouldn't last, is because zombies don't feel pain, and because they don't feel pain their body will never recognize damage and therefore will never regenerate. Anyway, my point is, is that if you don't take some kind of damage (even just mild damage) your body doesn't realize it and reinforce it.
To the original poster however, I suggest NOT kicking a tree, even with guards on. To one of the above posters, sorry, no - your bones generally aren't hardned by the fact that something is immobile, they're moreso hardened by the fact that something is hard. Look, I come from a "traditional" background, and I at least think that we're considered to have some of the most crazy conditioning ideas. But I still recognize that hitting a part of my body on something that is hard AND HAS NO GIVE is loony and dangerous. Shaolin monks, to harden their fists and palms, hit their hands on bags of various material, building up from mung beans to steel shot or rocks. BUT, Shaolin monks (and those of us who follow some of their training methods) recognize the fact that hitting something hard and immobile can be unforgiving, and that's why we still hit a bag of whatever material we hit, that way the material has room to move and shift. I have a wooden post in my backyard that I pound my forearms on to toughen them, but I have this wooden post placed in such a way so that it gives at least a little bit because I don't want to break my gosh darn arm.
Think of shin hardening like a plank of wood that can regenerate. If you smash that plank of wood against a brick wall, it's going to splinter and break in half all at once, which will take far longer for it to regenerate. But imagine, that if you did small damage over time to that plank of wood, and over time, that plank of wood healed that damage.
Anyway, really, op, I hope you just kick a bag often. That's all you really need. A boxer need not condition his hands, because just the punching of a bag will over time toughen his hands and knuckles. Or relate to a real world physical labor job; someone who is forced to continually switch from a crouching or kneeling position to a standing position need not work to strengthen his legs, because after having done the job enough, his legs will be strengthened. I use to work this janitor job where I was continually carrying these 60-80lb trash cans out to the dumpster one by one, but not once did I feel the need to lift weights to strengthen myself for that job, because just the act of doing the job, and doing the work, eventually took care of the problem.
Ehhh. Hope I made some kind of sense.
