EDS Waste Solutions Inc. was named the Evergreen Chamber of Commerce Business of the Year at the group's 2011 Holiday Gala on Dec. 5 at Mount Vernon Country Club.
EDS is a family-owned business that goes back five generations. The company provides residential, commercial and industrial garbage removal and recycling services to customers in Jefferson, Denver, Clear Creek, Gilpin and Park counties.
Imagine Zeus and the Greek gods looking down upon Evergreen and not liking what they see. The gods consider blowing up the world and starting over, but Zeus sees that fifth-grader Sam has the potential to make the world a better place.
Sam is able to create some eco-awareness at his school and to make a bully see that there's a better way to get attention and make friends.
I recently read that 42 percent of Americans join the annual tradition of Black Friday, flooding malls and big-box stores to get a jump on the holiday shopping season. Many start well before the sun rises, standing in lines to take advantage of special deals for early risers.
I don't exactly remember when the term "Black Friday" entered the American vernacular, but it wasn't long ago. Now, it's heard as often as other words that enjoy a much longer tradition — words like Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Many people complain to me that they find winter birding dull because there are no pretty birds around.
True, the winter residents at most feeders, pine siskins, chickadees, nuthatches, hairy and down woodpeckers, house sparrows, house finches, and the various forms of the dark-eyed junco are mostly gray, brown, and black-and-white birds. Not very exciting or colorful, but they are still interesting.

Some Jeffco sheriff's employees are now eligible for overdue merit-based pay increases, after the county commissioners passed on a 2-1 vote Dec. 6 a budget that allocates an additional $1.4 million to the department for discretionary spending in 2012.
Overall, the $476 million county budget cuts $600,000 from the 2011 spending plan and includes $3.5 million in funds to be used at the discretion of department heads, including pay increases for subordinates.
GOLDEN — The girls swimming season has officially kicked off with 16 teams from Jefferson County meeting for the D'Evelyn Sprint Pentathlon on Dec. 3 at Colorado School of Mines.
"The girls are already exhausted. I don't think they realized how much swimming happens this early in the season," Evergreen assistant coach Angie Harrington said.
Hailey Newhall had a double-double to lead the Evergreen Lady Cougars to a 65-32 rout of Montbello in both teams' season opener on Dec. 3 at Evergreen High School.
The Lady Cougars avenged last year's 50-49 loss at Montbello by applying full-court pressure in the first half that resulted in a 40-16 halftime lead. Evergreen was set to open the season two nights earlier vs. George Washington, but that game was rescheduled for Dec. 6 due to weather. Results weren't available at presstime.
CONIFER — To say that Don Fuller was a little wet behind the ears when it came to wrestling last season would probably be accurate. And to say that he's grown from that experience by leaps and bounds is definitely accurate.
Jeffco mountain communities, including Conifer and Evergreen, are about to become part of Congressional District 2, which is represented by Congressman Jared Polis, a Democrat from Boulder. The mountain towns formerly were in District 6, which has had Republican Mike Coffman as its elected representative since 2008.
The switch became final on Monday, Dec. 5, when the Colorado Supreme Court issued a ruling affirming the Nov. 10 decision of the Denver District Court on a redistricting map largely designed by Democrats in September.

Meyer Lemon Coffee Cake Muffins
I'm smitten with Meyer lemons. They're a cross between a mandarin and a traditional lemon. They still have that citrus flavor that I love without the pucker taste of traditional lemons. When they're in season I grab them every time I can. I'm currently working on a batch of Meyer lemon limoncello. I'll let you know how that turns out ; )
Until then I'm enjoying making anything and everything Meyer lemon. Including these muffins! They're great for a quick grab and go breakfast (can even be made the night before) and pack a nice lemon-y punch.
Meyer Lemon Coffee Cake Muffins
- 1 box (15.2 oz) Cinnamon Streusel premium muffin & quick bread mix
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 eggs
- Grated peel and juice of 1 Meyer lemon
- Meyer lemon peel strips, if desired
- Heat oven to 425°F. Place paper baking cup in each of 12 regular-size muffin cups.
- In medium bowl, stir muffin mix, milk, oil, eggs, grated lemon peel and lemon juice until blended.
- Divide batter evenly among muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full. Sprinkle streusel from packet over batter.
- Bake 16 to 20 minutes or until golden brown and toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 5 minutes; remove from pan to cooling rack. Garnish with lemon peel strips. Serve warm.

KXCI (91.3-FM) has some classic blues in store for this year's House Rockin' Blues Review at El Casino Ballroom on Friday.
Harmonica player Lazy Lester, a prominent name in the Louisiana "swamp blues" scene, will headline the show that will include performances from Tom Walbank, Bob Corritore, The Rhythm Room All-Stars and Michael P. & the Blue Star Players.
Lester, 81, was inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame in 2012 for his contributions to the genre, particularly for his work with Nashville-based Excello Records.
Here are three things to know about the musician.
1. Lester is a true-blue swamp-rocker and Louisiana blues player. He was born in Torras, Louisiana, and spent the first half of his life bouncing around the state. Before catching on with Excello, Lester was an odd-job man. His employment history included time spent as a grocery store clerk and gas station attendant.
He also took on various professions during his hiatuses from the music industry in the 1960s and '70s, working in construction and lumberjacking.
Lester has lived in Chicago, and spent several years in Pontiac, Michigan, where his longtime pal, Lightnin' Slim, resided. He currently calls the small town of Paradise, California, home.
2. Lester is first and foremost a country music fan. Country pioneer Jimmie Rodgers is often cited as one of Lester's early influences. In 2013, Lester told Blues Blast magazine that he was still a huge fan of Merle Travis, George Jones and Charley Pride. Crooner Don Williams, known as the "gentle giant" of country music for his baritone vocals, was Lester's favorite, according to the article.
3. Lester was the guy who brought the mellow to Excello Records. Through the 1950s and '60s, Lester produced several high-profile hits for the famed label, songs such as "Sugar Coated Love" and "Through the Goodness of My Heart." Lester also lent his talents to the music of others. His work on the harmonica, guitar and percussion can be found on recordings of many Excello artists, from Lightnin' Slim and Nathan Abshire to Slim Harpo and Lonesome Sundown.
Lester worked with Excello's primary producer Jay Miller on a string of popular songs at Miller's Studio in Crowley, Louisiana. It was Miller who first started calling Lester, "Lazy Lester," because of Lester's slow delivery when he spoke.

VaFashionista's recommendation
oh yes! I tried this finally tonight and I AM IN LOVE! (and so will any man be once he smells this on me!) it's that good! I love the fragrance once it hits my skin and then an hour later it leaves this wonderful, light girly, but not too girly, floral essence. I don't even know, but it's fabulous! I'm getting two bottles!

Ever since I saw the ad I wanted this perfume so I could wear the top as a ring like Camilla Belle. But I found that it also smells really good!
Karaless's recommendation
I have this scent and it is amazing it's sweet but not to flowery and not to sugary it more like a clean sweet scent
BirdBells's recommendation
I absolutely love Princess. It`s not too sweet, but it`s really feminine and truly lovely. It`s very attractive and flirty...probably a nice one for that first date.

NEW ROCHELLE, N.Y. - Robert Olson matched his career-high with 21 points, but Iona College came back from a five-point halftime deficit to defeat Loyola University Maryland, 74-63, Sunday afternoon in a early battle for first place in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference.
Lamont Jones scored 25 for the Gaels (14-4 overall, 6-1 MAAC), and Mike Glover added 20 points and 15 rebounds.
Loyola (12-5, 5-2) led by as many as seven in the game's early going when Justin Drummond converted a traditional 3-point play 7:03 into the contest.
The Gaels rallied to lead by a point, 26-25, on a Jones bucket with 9:10 before the break, but the Greyhounds held them to just two more field goals and a Glover free throw before halftime.
Shane Walker gave Loyola a 36-31 advantage with a 17-foot jumper 31 ticks before the break, sending Loyola into the locker room up five.
Iona twice cut the Greyhounds' lead to three in the first two minutes of the second half, but Dylon Cormier scored four points in a row, the latter two coming on a pair of free throws with 17:29 in regulation, giving Loyola a 42-35 lead.
Glover made it a 44-41 game with a dunk, but after an Anthony Winbush steal for Loyola, Olson fed Erik Etherly for a fast-break dunk at 15:20.
Iona, however, went on a 9-0 run, going up 50-46 when Jones made a layup in the paint with 12:13 on the clock.
The Greyhounds came back to tie on layups by Drummond and Cormier, but Iona then took the lead for good with a Glover tip-in at 10:02.
The Gaels extended their advantage to 67-55 at 4:52 on a Jones basket, but two 3-pointers by Olson and a pair of Cormier free throws pulled Loyola within six, 69-63, with less than four minutes to play.
Olson's three with 3:57 would be the last basket, however, for Loyola.
Scott Machado had 12 points and had nine assists for Iona, and Taaj Ridley added a double-double with 10 points and 10 rebounds.
Drummond was the only other Loyola player in double figures with 12. Etherly added nine and a team-high seven rebounds, and Cormier and J'hared Hall both scored eight.
Loyola returns to Baltimore for a pair of home games. The Greyhounds host Siena on Thursday, January 19, at 7:30 p.m., and Saint Peter's on Sunday, January 21, at 12 noon.

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
receptionist number 5 was very kind and outstanding the professionalI wish I can remember her name,also the panoramic view of the whole city from the sky 28 Lounge and also the view is great for my room
very bad stuff esp night manager not good
Not sure hotel did apply the price displayed at booking .com
The rooms, decor, the swimming pool. Location is extremely noisy at the juncture of constant 24 hour traffic. The service in the hotel was woeful, very poor.
good location in Casablanca center Room service is terrible. They say yes, yes, even if they didn't understand what you are asking for
the bed was comfortable and the rooms clean horrible reception in the SPA ! - continuous disturbance in rooms by traffic noice - poor insulation! The bathroom was beautiful but with technical problems: plumbing not working (water blocked in the shower)
Thé Room They said I steel a lamp !!!!!
everything the service receptions number 5 was very kind and very professionalespecially sky 28 the lounge area the food the panoramic view excellent
Nearest good hotel to the airport Reserved room not available before 18.00 h
i liked the freindly staff and the services the hotel is offering. it's is a very clean hotel away from noise and night girls no
I like location Staff need training about customer service. I paid for Sky Deluxe Double Room With Panoramic City view , they give smoking room 302 with NO VIEW . I checked out 1am .
Location Service
Some of the staff are very rude
The staff at the Hotel was incredible. They were always helpful and polite and handled our every need. I had an accident while there and severely sprained my ankle. The staff arranged for a Dr to come to my Hotel room and the entire staff took care of me. Even the Manager called my room the next day to check on me. It was incredible to be so well treated. I couldn't have been more pleased with my stay. A heartfelt "Thank You" to the entire staff.
ocean car parking roof
Location More of a 2 star than a 4 star
The new section of the hotel is very beautifull, I highly recommend it! The breakfast selection and the omelette was not good.
The room, location, facing the beach, staff, service, and everything! The best every! Thanks. no complaints
The friendly staff, hotel decor and the comfort of the room made this hotel an excellent place to stay. The hotel snack bar unfortunately did not serve snacks, lack of current information for tourists.
watching sea I did not like the culture of restaurant staff. I felt bad as there were lots of arguements happening between them while having my break fast.
Friendly, rich breakfast, easy to access, close to beach and rests.
it was very clean noting
Location was perfect, on the beach, with beautiful view on the North Atlantic Ocean. The hotel situated just 5 minutes by taxi from very noisy city centre.
Bed was comfortable. Hotel not at all as represented on pictures. Breakfast food wasn't fresh. Safe bet is yogurt! We ate a lot of it:-) Very disappointing.
The sea view The AC was so noisy and the room was old
The room was clean and there was secure parking. We requested a single bed and the gave us two twins. For being a very friendly country as a whole, the checker hardly said a word to me. I think they were rude and we received a crappy room on the first floor because we bought through a discount site. It was impossible to get to the beach from the hotel, and the staff just pointed...we know the direction of the beach. None of the work out machines were functioning, wifi in the room did not work (you had to be in the lobby), and the atm machine was turned on.
Proximity to the airport
Only one person behind desk at both evening, night and morning i was there--she was helpful but often helping others. Room service dinner mediocre. Breakfast fine. Pillows lumpy.
I think front desk could be more friendly Beds are not comfortable
The location the shuttle service. The place was clean and good amenities. Could use better and larger bathroom towels and more than one per person would be nice. Also the air conditioning in the room wasn't good
I stayed in the executive suite for one night. Service was excellent. Sheets were clean. For a five star hotel and paying high rates for this room, I was not too happy to find stains in the bathroom. It seemed as if someone had just quickly wiped the bathrooms with a dirty damp rag. As far as food, breakfast was in a lounge exclusive for that floor. Very courteous staff working there. Afternoon cocktails also available there. No free internet. It should be mandatory at all hotels. Over-all I would recommend staying here if your willing to pay these rates.
Following both picks and description, we chose the Hyatt for our first night in Morocco. While the hotel looks beautiful, is centrally located, and has a nice pool and OK-ish gym (Technogym equipment but from at least 2 or 3 generations ago), we had several disappointments: 1) There was hair in our supposedly clean bathtub, 2) there was a half eaten meal, chocolate bar and half drunk bottle of water in our supposedly re-stocked minibar, 3) it took a call to the front desk and then another call 30 mins later to the manager to get 1) and 2) addressed, 4) on checkout the front desk clerk tried to charge us for the room and internet usage (which we tried to use but encountered an error), 5) there was mold on the shower head in the shower and the shower head in the bath had leaks that caused it to spray over the bathroom floor. In summary, not what one expects for US$+ a night. To be fair, the Director of rooms ensured problems 1 and 2 were fixed with our second call and accepted the feedback we have listed here, offering us an upgrade to a junior suite if we stay again at Hyatt, but I think with other international chains, e.g., Sheraton, Novotel in town for USD$ less, we'll try them next time.
the hotle staff was not verey helpfull accepet if you gave thim some money , ther is no aircinditons in the rooms , they said it is not working !!!!???? the suit was very small . the hotle staff was not verey helpfull accepet if you gave thim some money.
the hotel is good, but i was in transit and coming from a business trip; so it seemed very far.
The hotel was in a great position with easy walking access to lots of things the toilet was leaking in our bathroom and we missed breakfast because no one picked up our menu selections from outside our door, despite them being put out well before the collection time.
I Like the location and the confort The rooms was dirty.
i liked the hotel, the staff and the location. The hotel is equivalent to a good hotel in New York and has an international standard. The door man and the front desk staff were awesome and very helpful. i traveled a lot around the world I was happy with this hotel
Location was close enough Ac did not work. Could not sleep all night. Hot and mosquitoes all over the place when I tried to open the windows. The staff took forever to even acknowledge and never fixed it. They would not offer me another room that wasn't filled with mosquitos.
Parking to the cars, The Music in the Restuernt!
The staffs friendliness Not sure.
in center none
Airco, television, they called the car rental service for usd Carpets on the floors, clerk tried to trick us during money exchange...
i think the location was the best part about the hotel, and it's easy to get taxi.
the bed was comfortable and the sheeting clean. Had coffee to make in the room. Good airconditioning. The carpets were filthy.
Clean, modern Some employees did not find our reservation in the database.
The hotel is in a good location - close to the city center. The price was also good. The customer service wasn't very high. Some of the staff were friendly, but others seemed to give the impression you were inconveniencing them by asking for things.
For business travellers, good value for money, but nothing special. Quite a new hotel with 15 floors at Harbor, free wireless at lobby, internet on room for charge. In room double bed, shower, climatisation, desk, 28 inch LCD for 61 Eur a night. Clean but quite a small simple room
view from the room to a noisy port; not the best value for money
Rooms overtaken by mould. Mould in room, on walls, on curtains, in bathroom and a heavy mould smell. Room not clean. Only 2 towels, no hand towels. No toiletries. Shower dribbles, very poor water flow. Wecwere put on a smoking floir and weren't even asked if we were smokers. Room tiny.
The rooms were newly painted. The pillows were very poor quality. The linen in the bathroom also looked dirty.
Very good modern hotel with good food and location in Casablanca city cente makes your stay very enjoyful with lots of shopping and street cafes at walking distance plus all the excellent panoramic view of Casablanca city and port from the hotel window. None
IBIS is always a good value for Money. Maintaining a 4 star facilities with no non essential tantrums. I have a complaint that I was not charged as per discounted rate booking done through Nookings.com. i was charged at their regular rack rate. This was the only bad experience about it.
I like the location of the hotel, i didnt like the restaurant help called aasma, for the rest everyone was very nice, the restaurant was a joke, maroccan wok? italian ? come on, it was a disaster.
untrained well staff, we ordered Panini to our room and we got an old unheated very small sandwich with unfair price and nothing offered to say sorry, i requested a cot bed then i found nothing
Great location
Convenient location with nice city views and modernly updated. The rooms were a bit small thus not enough room for luggage b
The pool. Big roaches crawling around in the lobby.
proximity to airport Cockroach in bathroom. Rude shuttle driver peremptorily asking for tip
Actually... checking out! We booked here to stay overnight between flights. We waited for the shuttle for about 50 minutes and finally got a taxi (15 Euro and they did not want to take us to the hotel as it was too close). Checking in took ages. At 2 am we were in our room (landed 11.30 pm), which was a junior suite with no towels (only small ones). Our travel mates were less lucky. Their booking was lost, they were given a room wich was already occupied, then a single room for three people and finally a room with no towels at all.
Only the location was good as very near airport Discourteous Manager
The location near the airport is perfect. The wifi is intermittent. The dining poor with limited options and badly cooked food. Had to argue with staff to get adequate towels and sheets that fit the bed.
Free transport to airport, convenient. Nice room,restuarant and bar. Breakfast available from 4.00 am. Did exactly what I hoped for an airport hotel.
the comfort of the bed! Very dissapointed by the shuttle service. We had take a Taxi from the airport to the Hotel because the shuttle was full and there wasn't another one and we had already waited half an hour. In April during our last stay the same thing happened. We also asked for a wake up call which never materialiszed.
Beautiful hotel, excellent service, friendly staff, and delicious morning breakfast. Laila in the front office was very helpful in getting me connected to the internet, which I temporarily had problems with. Overall, a great stay.
in side the city nothing
water chain is not in bathroom is not working water chain is not in bathroom is not working, bathroom light blinking, gel recipient difficult to get the gel,
All stayed in sheraton was very nice no problem the securty in the floor
The hosbatalaties and car park in hotel Inter net not free like other hotels
Four resturants to choose from which were good. Staff was friendly and overall helpful. Was good that the room had an iron and ironing board Pretty depressing location. Rooms were comfortable but a bit dated. Price was very high for the value.
Attitude of staff; courteous and always helpful. Service in breakfast room rapid and efficient. Lack of types of tea in Breakfast room. Earl Grey everywhere but no other types e;g. Ceylon, Darjeeling. Bathrooms need a hand shower 'rose'.
It was everything we needed at the end of 2 weeks in Morocco. Great room and good food, perfect before flying home.
The comfort of the room and lobby. The buffet menu for dinner should have had better and elaborate choices. The front office staff could have been more pleasant and courteous.
The Disco Old, badly in need of renovation
The location. The concierge staff was very friendly and offered lots of assistance. The triple room booked had h a double bed and a folding spare bed and there was barely enough space to move around. The reception staff was curt and dry.
The bar
The breakfast spread was reasonable and had a few choices. The staff were not very friendly.
The triple room booked was crammed with a double bed and a folding rickety spare bed with barely enough space to move around. The reception staff was curt and dry. The concierge staff was friendly and offered more assistance than the reception staff. Business Hotel with not more than a 3 star rating. Not ideal for family.
For our neeeds it was very good cause its very central Really we found what we all wanted in the hotel --nice staff --clean and good food
They were very accommodating & kept our luggages for a week since we were returning to Cassablanca after a 1 wk visit to Italy. I wish it will strictly enforce no smoking at the lobby of the hotel..
staff is very nice breakfast is very poor, especially after 9.30 AM
Overbooked so they left us sitting in the reception area for an hour while we waited for transportation to their other hotel downtown. We had booked this hotel because it is about a 20 minute drive to the airport. The downtown hotel was 1 hour from the airport and $10 more on the cab ride. They did not compensate us at all for their overbooking, extra cost, our loss of time and inconvenience.
cleanlenss nothing
Leaving The room.
Very good overall .Very warm welcome, always at ur service, good location, good food; I believe that in my my humble opinion Golden Tulip Farah Casablanca should be a 5 star Hotel A little pricy I believe, but I enjoyed my stay
There is nothing special about this hotel. Nothing attracted me in this hotel except its quietness. Staff treatment is not professional.
breakfast assortment
The paid pick-up service did not work out and there was no-one waiting for me at the airport so i had to pay a taxi by my own. When requesting for an invoice for my stay I had to wait long time and it looked like they dont do it really often. Not suitable for alone travelling women as other 5* hotels in Casablanca.
It was an excellent quality hotel. The breakfast and airport transfer made it even better value for money. As a one night stopover after holidaying in Morooco and flying out from Casablance airport it would be hard to beat.
hotel decoration room was not celeen and old furnther
The location is great. It is really at the heart of Casablanca. Room is small. With a smell of in the carpet
The staff were very helpful No cool air-con was available even it is a five star hotel!!!
Nice big Rooms and suites, tastefully furnished but very poor lighted, almost to dark to move safely in the aisles. a bit worn out and the most annoying thing is an awful perfume crawling thru the hall and aisles. I could hardly breath and all the clothing smells like it when you leave the hotel, therefore i won't choose this hotel once again.

solar leasing biz model
So, my wife and I were at the Phoenix home/garden show the other week, looking into a few of the various companies who specialize in residential solar leasing. There's really three options you can choose: straight-up purchase, pre-paid lease and "zero-down" lease.
The leasing model has some advantages. Installation is insured via provider, warrantied for any damage, parts, labor. All tax rebates are dealth with by provider (they get them, as they own the system). Logistics of removal/storage/reinstall are free and handled by provider for roof replacements.
One thing they don't tell you: the difference between prepaid lease and zero-down is large. prepaid saves you around $12K over 20 years. (5kW installation pricing) So, math is your friend here.
Advantages of owning are, of course, you own it, no strings. You insure it, and it's on you to get the tax rebate logistics correct, etc.
I'm uber-suspicious of leasing almost anything, but I didn't perceive a lot wrong with the leasing model. I'm curious about experiences and opinions of other E/E dwellers.

1. You should have already received at least 3 quotes for a solar purchase before signing any lease
You might find that the tax benefits of taking out a 2nd mortgage adds up to more than you'd save by leasing with a down payment -- and you may not have to put as much down.
Owning your solar installation is IMO always preferable to leasing. But if you (like me) can't afford to put a 2nd on your house (or you're under water like millions of home owners) leasing may be your only option. One option is to get a smaller solar array but an inverter that will allow you to add more panels later on as you are financially able. Solar companies don't like to do this because you lose 1 or 2 percent efficiency but so what: one day you'll have the proper sized solar array for your needs and you will own it outright.
If you or your spouse can drive an electric car, however, then you aren't dealing with solar math any more: you're dealing with the price of gasoline (and how much it would be worth to you to stop supporting global terrorism -- each and every time you purchase oil products such as gasoline or diesel a small percentage of that hard earned money of yours goes ultimately into the hands of terrorists). That is the #1 reason to drive an electric car in my view: that they also save you on "fuel" is just a bonus. Solar leasing becomes an even more attractive option when you think of it as paying to NOT further the goals of terrorists.

2. Aint nobody signing anything, yet
Just curious about the general principle, as it were.
One thing about the zero-down lease is that literally anybody can take advantage of it, regardless of financial situation. I think that if you did that, you would want to make extra, extra certain of the numbers they quote you, so that your electric bill savings actually do offset the lease fees, or at least that there was a lease escape clause if you could demonstrate you weren't at least breaking even.

3. The zero down solar lease still locks in your electricity price somewhat
You also have to factor that in. The solar lease company should have data on historical electric utility rate hikes (hint: they jack up the price on a regular basis).
Some solar leases gradually increase the monthly price you pay as years go by and some don't but neither will increase as much as the electric rates that utility customers will end up paying. So you got that going for you. Which is nice.

Accepted - Volume 2
Comment Record
Dr. Dale Carroll, J.D., CLU

United Plans, Inc.
Comments for FDA General
1. Are there arguments for regulating speech about drugs more comprehensively than, for example, about dietary supplements? What must an administrative record contain to sustain such a position? In particular, could FDA sustain a position that certain promotional speech about drugs is inherently misleading, unless it complies with FDA requirements? Does anything turn on whether the speech is made to learned intermediaries or to consumers? What is the evidentiary basis of such a distinction?
Freedom of speech should allow anyone, in any capacity, to advertise the supposed benefits of any and all kinds of medicines, herbals,vitamins, supplements, etc. My wife and I have both found cures for several medical conditions using alternative treatments, etc. To allow the drug companies to freely advertise to the public on TV, radio, etc., the claims for their prescription and OTC drugs without also allowing people offering alternatives the same rights is a ludicrous denial of freedom of speech and also equal protection.
2. Is FDA's current position regarding direct-to-consumer and other advertisements consistent with empirical research on the effects of those advertisements, as well as with relevant legal authority? What are the positive and negative effects, if any, of industry's promotion of prescription drugs, biologics, and/or devices? Does the current regulatory approach and its implementation by industry lead to over-prescription of drugs? Do they increase physician visits or patient compliance with medication regimes? Do they cause patient visits that lead to treatment for under-diagnosed diseases? Does FDA's current approach and its implementation by industry lead to adequate treatment for under-diagnosed diseases? Do they lead to adequate patient understanding of the potential risks associated with use of drugs? Does FDA's current approach and its implementation by industry create any impediments to the ability of doctors to give optimal medical advice or prescribe optimal treatment?
Several countries (Mexico for one)allow anyone to purchase prescription drugs without a doctor's prescription. The FDA should butt out, and not, in any way, have the power to restrict access to any alternative medical pharmaceutical drug or other product,vitamin, herb, etc. Giving the public more information about alternative products, treatments, etc., would enable senior citizens to find a number of supplements that would be cheaper than prescription drugs, thus reducing Medicare costs substantially!!
3. May FDA distinguish claims concerning conventional foods from those relating to dietary supplements, taking into account limits on claims that can be made about foods in the Nutrition Labeling and Education Act, 21 U.S.C. 301, 321, 337, 343, 371? What must an administrative record contain to sustain or deny claims on food labels? How can information best be presented in a succinct but non-misleading fashion? To what extent do assertions in claims need qualifications or disclaimers added to the label to avoid any misconceptions that consumers may draw? Is there a basis to believe that consumers approach claims about conventional foods and dietary supplements differently?
As Obesity is one of our greatest health problems, it is imperative that education about the uses of all kinds of supplements be given to the public. Now, ads only have to list the top 2 or 3 major known side effects, thus grossly misleading us. And, the drug companies should be made to inform the public of the existence of altermative, non-prescription supplements that might work better (and cheaper)!!
4. Should disclaimers be required to be in the same (or smaller or larger) size of type and given equal prominence with claims? Is there any relevant authority or social science research on this issue?
Disclaimers should be in the same size type and given equal prominence with claims!!
5. How can warnings be made most effective in preventing harm while minimizing the chances of consumer confusion or inattention? Is there any evidence as to which types of warnings consumers follow or disregard?
Every time a prescription drug is advertised, they should be made to pay for a counter-advertisement notifying the public of the alternatives available to them to reduce their costs (and Medicare's costs)or even increase the effectiveness of their treatment.
6. What arguments or social science evidence, if any, can be used to support distinguishing between claims made in advertisements and those made on labels? Does the First Amendment and the relevant social science evidence afford the Government greater latitude over labels?
Pharmacists, health food store employees, doctors, nurses, and others involved in medical fields should have to complete continuing education courses in alternative treatments and supplements,so they can give clearer explanations of all the alternatives available.
7. Would permitting speech by manufacturer, distributor, and marketer about off-label uses undermine the act's requirement that new uses must be approved by the FDA? If so, how? If not, why not? What is the extent of FDA's ability to regulate speech concerning off-label uses?
Many thousands of people die each year from side effects of prescription drugs, and mixing of them without any idea by the physicians prescribing them as to their combined effects with other medications. Records should be kept of the success rates from non-prescription or OTC supplements, as well as of prescription drugs. (Synthroid is an example. Had records been kept, many people would have been able to lead better lives)
8. Do FDA's speech-related regulations advance the public health concerns they are designed to address? Are there other alternative approaches that FDA could pursue to accomplish those objectives with fewer restrictions on speech?
See 7 above. FDA should not have power to ban or prohibit distribution of any alternative pills or treatments unless they can provide double blind studies showing exceptionally large number of side effect/contraindications for each specific supplement or alternative treatment.
9. Are there any regulations, guidance, policies, and practices FDA should change, in light of governing First Amendment authority?
FDA should employ many more persons to do research and testing of the many alternative supplements and treatments ASAP. Many of them are well known to a few physicians to be better than existing FDA approved medicines/treatments. If this is done, the costs of treatments will be substantially reduced, benefitting us all, and also reducing Medicare costs for all senior citizens.

TOP STORY >> Navy veteran receives coat of arms
By JEFFREY SMITH
Leader staff writer
Surrounded by family and neighbors, Norma Henry, 86, a resident of the Spring Creek Living Center in Cabot, was presented on Tuesday with the coat of arms for her service in the Navy during World War II by Lt. Cmdr. Tim Buller.
After graduating from high school, Henry volunteered to enlist in the Navy when she was 20. She was sent to Hunter College in New York City for basic training and was then stationed at Naval Air Station at Terminal Island, Calif.
She was very involved in the political arena and service. The Navy was her No. 1 focus in life, Henrys daughter, Linda Reichenbach, said.
Henry served her country for three years, from July 1943 to August 1946, as a chief storekeeper. One of her duties included managing a soda fountain at the base.
After her enlistment, she learned she would be stationed in San Diego. Henry instead got out of the Navy and went back to her hometown in Minneapolis, Kan.
Henry was born on June 10, 1923 and raised in Minneapolis, Kan. Henrys father was a wheat and cattle farmer. She lived in the same town for 80 years.
Poor health brought her to Arkansas, where she lived for two years with Linda and her husband Jerry in Jacksonville until she moved to the Spring Creek Living Center.
She was the youngest of six children; Henry had three brothers and three sisters. She was known as Pete.
Pete is (my mothers) nickname since she was 4, Linda said, explaining the origins of the name.
One day while wearing her brothers overalls, she walked into the center of the room and announced to her family, My name is Pete.
Her grandparents and everyone called her Pete. Kids who went to school with her didnt know her name was Norma Jean.
Linda described her mom as a tomboy. Henry would climb trees and she was an avid softball player.
Henry played as a catcher through high school.
Shortly after returning from the Navy, she married Melvin Goure in 1946.
Henry was a homemaker. Reichenbach said later in life her mother went to school and became a licensed medical technician at age 60. She handled medicines at the Good Samaritan Nursing Home in her hometown.
Goure worked for Ottawa County maintaining roads. Henry was married to Goure for 11 years until his death in 1961. She has three children, five grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. Henry later remarried.
Henrys son, Ron, went into the Navy in 1970 on the USS Gray during the Vietnam War. He was a fire-control technician on the destroyer where he was in charge of aiming and firing a gun on the ship. He spent four years in the service and received a medical discharge. Afterwards, he worked with computers.
Henrys second son, Jerry, was disabled. He cut yards and did handyman work.
Both sons passed away in 1999.
Linda was a homemaker and part-time school bus driver. She and Jerry have five children, Sean, Rakale, Amy, Ann and Kurt.
For the past 14 years, she has been a seamstress at Price-Rite Cleaners in Jacksonville.
She said her mother always has had a strong belief in duty to her country. Henry was an active member and president of the Veterans of Foreign Wars Auxiliary and the American Legion Auxiliary. She also donated blood at every chance she could.
Being involved in the election process was important to Henry when she lived in Kansas, as it continues to be today.
She was on the election board and manned the polls, Jerry Reichenbach said.
Linda recalled her mother saying, One must always vote.
She was very angry because she didnt get to vote in the last election, Linda said. I didnt get her an absentee ballot. She never missed a chance to vote.
There are things you dont miss and that is it, Linda Reichenbach said.
Jerry Reichenbach added, Henry would say, If you dont vote, you have no right to complain.
Henry was active in her community in Kansas. She also enjoyed playing Canasta and dominoes with friends back home.

Duquesne adjuncts' votes on unionizing to be counted Thursday
The National Labor Relations Board on Thursday will count the ballots of Duquesne adjunct instructors seeking to organize as a collective bargaining unit with the United Steelworkers.
A spokesman for the United Steelworkers said the count will take place at 1 p.m. at the NLRB's regional office in Pittsburgh.
The labor board impounded the ballots from the part-time university instructors in July and placed them in a safe after university officials filed an appeal arguing that Duquesne is exempt from labor board oversight because it is a religious institution.
On Friday, the NLRB in Washington, D.C., issued a ruling ordering that the ballots be counted.
Duquesne officials have said they will file another appeal if the adjuncts win the election.

Watch my car overheat during AutoX, in HD -- What NOT to do!
I mentioned in another thread my car overheated during an AutoX, 3 days after doing my cooling system refresh. But now you can watch it in
Hi Definition video
on YouTube. (Plus you can criticize my driving technique.) You'll see that everything is fine in the first run (that was actually my 6th run of the day) but it overheats halfway through the next run.
0:48 Start first run (6th of day)
3:45 Start 2nd run (7th of day), temp gauge looks normal
4:30 Temp needle rising towards red
4:44 Red idiot light goes on
4:45 Idiot fails to notice (watching the cones)
5:27 Red light goes off (why?)
7:38 Silly driver finally notices overheat and shuts down engine.
When I open the hood, steam and coolant were coming out of the ET cap. Ended up getting towed home, later found new aftermarket thermostat was stuck shut. Put old BMW thermostat back and now it's gone through 500 miles of driving and 2 more AutoX events and doesn't overheat. Knock on wood! I am SO ASHAMED
that I didn't see the red light and failed all the fanatics who have warned us not to drive with the temp gauge is in the red. My car ran in the "red zone" a full 3 minutes before I noticed and turned it off. I'm only posting the video now that it appears my head gasket survived intact.
So besides the horror of watching me ignore an overheat, a question! Why did the red light go off? It's not burned out because it still lights up whenever the key is turned to "on." Maybe the thermostat temporarily opened up a bit at the end of my run? Is there a coolant temp high enough to peg the needle in the red but low enough not to turn on the red light?
And here's my car back at Qualcomm Stadium last Saturday--not overheating. Got body roll?

Hi there! I'm PC guy, but I'm wondering how many of you are using MAC ?
Mac here, iMac 24'' Aluminum & Glass
20" iMac, Aluminum and glass as well… I will never go back to PC, EVER !
All the developers at Envato use Sinclair ZX Spectrums
I use a PC, but I'm looking to get a Mac laptop too.
MAC and Ubuntu!
I use PC, Mac and Ubuntu…currently Im using PC..
one thing which could make me change to Mac is CSSEdit ;]
I only use Mac in College and I still prefer PC. I think it's depend on what we do and where we feel better.
What about two screens? If you have never used a second monitor so far, believe me, it's the best what you can do to improve an efficiency of your work. LCD screens are really chip right now (I paid $250 for my refurbished HP 22 '').. try it
I can't imagine living without two screens display;)

|"Customized" Ordering:
Hi everyone,
I have tried to keep my website as simple as possible, mostly because I want to spend my time doing other things than working on it.
The paypal interface can be modified to do many things, but I am not interested in spending too much time as I have other things to do like observing. To that end I have kept the payments as simple as possible. This has cost some flexibility in that you can only pay in certain amounts. For example, we have customers who know they have the $7 discount we provide for upgrading from the Messier TFC to any of our more advanced ones. The sticking point came in ordering and getting that discount.
Rather than develop a solution, this page has been started. Here you can place an order in $1 units (each unit you buy costs $1). To pay a $35 payment, order 35 units. If you need to pay a known amount to firstname.lastname@example.com, you can do it here. Just select as units the number of dollars you need to pay. Note in the comments what it is for (we usually know because we have already talked to you), but it is best to be sure. This will allow you to use a credit card or echeck or balance for any amount you might need. What a fine kludge!
To find out the price and shipping of any order to any location in the world, email us at email@example.com

MSNBC Demonstrates How Media Should Talk About Efforts To Limit Abortion Access
Blog ››› ››› SAMANTHA WYATT
MSNBC demonstrated the benefits of hosting women's health experts to talk about women's health issues and in the process punctured several abortion myths that have been used in recent months. The network hosted an all-female panel, including an obstetrician, for a segment on proposed state legislation that would ban abortions after 20 weeks. MSNBC's panel marks a departure from other networks' coverage of abortion access, which has excluded women's health experts from the debate and promoted the view that 20-week abortion bans are "reasonable."
The August 14 edition of NOW with Alex Wagner featured a panel of three women to discuss the proposed 20 week abortion ban, which included Dr. Anne Davis of Physicians for Reproductive Health and Ilyse Hogue, president of NARAL Pro-Choice America. Davis, a second-trimester abortion provider, disputed the premise that a fetus can experience pain at 20 weeks, arguing that fetal pain is not sufficient justification to ban abortions after this gestational stage.
Unlike past coverage of the proposed ban, the segment cited specific research from medical professionals when discussing the fetal pain theory, including findings from the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG):
The panel also emphasized that abortion after 20 weeks may be necessary to prevent serious health consequences for both the mother and fetus. According to the ACOG, while some dangerous conditions affecting the fetus can be detected earlier than week 20, "[b]y the time a diagnosis is confirmed by a specialist capable of diagnosing these anomalies, the pregnancy has often progressed beyond 20 weeks." Furthermore, the ACOG found that delaying abortions in non-fatal health crises can put the "patient's health in serious jeopardy."
Fox, CNN, and NBC have recently hyped claims that 20-week abortion bans are "reasonable," ignoring the health risks and financial hardships that can necessitate abortion after 20 weeks. Media Matters has noted that media coverage of abortion bans has excluded women's health experts in the past.

A Few Exits Back on the Information SuperhighwayBy Dan Piepenbring

When many of us think of organic farming, we wrongly assume organic crops are pesticide free.
When organic farming methods like weed-suppressive cover crops, crop rotation, and biological pest control methods are insufficient to prevent or control pests, organic farmers may apply pesticides.
Generally speaking, organic farmers use natural pesticides as opposed to the synthetic pesticides used by industrial factory farms. But organic pesticides are not necessarily safer, and some organic farmers may use synthetic pesticides.
According to the USDA National Organic Program, Subpart G, The National List of Allowed and Prohibited Substances, limited use of synthetic pesticides are allowed for use on organic farms, and include insecticidal soaps and horticultural oils for insect management, and Bordeaux mixture, copper hydroxide and sodium bicarbonate for managing fungi.
In Jeff Gillman's book The Truth About Organic Gardening: Benefits, Drawbacks, and the Bottom Line, Gillman claims natural insecticides used on organic farms include Bacillus thuringiensis (a bacterial toxin), pyrethrum (a chrysanthemum extract), spinosad (a bacterial metabolite), neem (a tree extract) and rotenone (a legume root extract).
Like most conventional insecticides, rotenone and pyrethrum attack the nervous system, and rotenone has been linked to Parkinson's Disease-like symptoms in rats.
Rotenone was allowed to be used to grow organic produce until 2005, when it was added to the list of prohibited substances, but Rotenone may have since been re-approved.
In February, HeathDay reported that a new study found people who used the pesticides rotenone and paraquat have a 2.5 times increased risk of developing Parkinson's disease.
The study was published online in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives.
Researchers compared 110 people with Parkinson's disease and 358 people without the disease. All of the participants were enrolled in the Farming and Movement Evaluation Study involving licensed pesticide applicators and their spouses.
"Rotenone directly inhibits the function of the mitochondria, the structure responsible for making energy in the cell," study co-author Freya Kamel, a researcher at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, said in an institute news release.
"Paraquat increases production of certain oxygen derivatives that may harm cellular structures," she added. "People who used these pesticides or others with a similar mechanism of action were more likely to develop Parkinson's disease."
Researchers concluded that pesticides may play a role in Parkinson's disease in humans.
"The results may have far-reaching implications, considering the widespread use of these pesticides. Paraquat remains one of the most widely used herbicides worldwide, and rotenone was used ubiquitously before most uses were voluntarily stopped in the United States in 2007″.
We can only hope organic produce contains fewer pesticides than conventional produce, based on an organic farmer's commitment to grow crops as free as possible of chemicals and pesticides.
To better ensure you're eating fruits and vegetables with the least amount pesticides, buy from a local organic farm when possible, and ask them what organic farming methods and pesticides they use.

Martin Weiss is the Hollywood talent manager whose company repped child actors that had landed roles on such series as Nickelodeon's iCarly and Disney's Good Luck Charlie as well as on network shows and movies. Today in Van Nuys, CA he pleaded no contest during a pretrail hearing to two charges of oral copulation with a child under the age of 14. He was sentenced to a year in jail and five years probation; the sentence was suspended for time served, and he will be released today. Weiss must register as a sex offender and enter a treatment program. and he is not permitted to be in the presence of anyone under 18 without another adult present. Weiss was arrested last November after the victim and former client told police in an affidavit he was sexually assaulted by Weiss 30-40 times over a three-year period when the boy was 11 or 12 years old. Police searched his apartment at the time of Weiss' arrest and set bail at triple the normal amount because they suspected there could be more victims. Weiss dissolved his company soon after.
Youth Talent Manager Martin Weiss Pleads No Contest, Sentenced In Molestation Case
32 Comments
Speaking as both a former Prosecutor and Defense Atty … how on EARTH did he only get a year????
Only one year in jail for repeatedly molesting an 10 year-old? This is appalling. I hope the children he has harmed are getting the help they need.
One year in jail??? And with time off???? Disgusting. There is a lot of perversity in this case, particularly the sentencing. Would love to know who the presiding judge was and his/her reasons behind such a joke of a sentence. I wonder how the families feel. Yet another reason why parents should keep their kids out of show business.
If he were a priest he'd still be teaching sunday school.
I'm the father of two kids. If this happened to one of them, and this guy got a year – and was free for "time served" – I might have to take the law into my own hands.
I pray each and every day for guidance, but my brother, we are on the same page!
Mama Bear concurs 100%.
Who paid the judge? ONE YEAR for 30 to 40 counts of child RAPE? That is 9 days per rape!!
That is just crazy. Especially for a 'manager' in a position of power and influence of kids that are eager. I had the displeasure of meeting this animal before, and he is a creeper for sure.
This town should be supporting BizParentz and their efforts with the legislature to have industry companies (and casting, people on set) perform background checks for offenders.
Just ask JJ Abrams…I bet he'd wished he'd have known prior to hiring a sex offender to cast for him.
OMG! my child met with him last year and FORTUNATELY he did not pick my child! Yes, GOD is good. On the other note…One Year! Wow! He should still be locked up!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow, MOM of a Child Actress, that's just plain scary.
Where was the molested child's parents? My daughter is new in the business and we are preparing ourselves for security and other protection purposes for our daughter. Rule number one, "NEVER LET YOU CHILD OUT OF YOUR SITE".
Maybe he can be hired at Luber Rocklin.
Only 1 year in jail for harming a child like that is way beyond wrong! Something is seriously and sadly messed up in our judicial system and the entertainment industry, too. I hope the young man/victim gets all the counseling and emotional help he needs to recover from this and I'll be praying for him.
That is way less than a year. Too bad he didn't get what he deserved in prison. Child molesters are the most hated in the "joint" and the inmates do take matters into their own hands…
That is what he was Accused of, not what he was convicted of. There were all kinds of holes in the case and he was not guilty of what he was accused of. That is why he only got a year. As a former client I can tell you he was a very good manager and never hurt my child in any way.
So tell me this: If he wasn't guilty, then why the hell did he actually plead guilty?
This verdict stinks. The guy was part of the Hollywood industry and must have 'friends' who used their influence.
May the Lord forgive me, but I hope he made lots of 'other friends' while he was in jail.
If you were looking at 34 years, you might accept the plea bargain and go no contest. BTW, he did not claim he was guilty. Was he perhaps set up by someone?
Obvious Answer is Delusional! Set up?….NO is the obvious answer.
No, he was not set up by anyone. He is a pedophile, which is a psychiatric disorder (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedophile). As such, Mr. Weiss believes that what he did was consentual sex with the 11 year old. He does not believe he committed a crime which is one reason he would not plead guilty. Pleading "No Contest" got him the same sentence, he just doesn't admit guilt. In his eyes, he loves the little boys, and wants to educate them, care for them. It sounds as if he was sentenced to a sex offender treatment program. They aren't very successful but it must have been a recommendation within the psych evals and probation reports.
Because our justice system sucks. He didn't plead guilty he pleaded no contest to two counts of a lewd act which is the same charge you get if you are caught with your girlfriend making out in public. I am a very protective parent and keep my kids very safe with all adults. I'm just saying before you assume he is guilty you should have the facts. If he didn't plead no contest he would have sat in jail until they had a jury trial which could have taken a year and then he would be at the mercy of the jury which would be baised because of the media. Just like you. I worked with him for several years. He was a good person. Many of his clients including a lot of teenage boys who spent a lot of time with him signed up to be charector witnesses for him. No other kids came forward even though he represented kids for 20 years. It's not far fetched to think that someone was trying to hurt Marty with false accusations that fell apart in court which is what happened. He pleaded no contest so he could get out of jail. His life has been ruined. Get the facts before you attack him. Just saying
Fact.. he pled no contest to 2 counts of penal code 288(a) – oral copulation with a minor. And in this instance, the minor child was a boy.
Not exactly the same as a lewd act like getting caught out with your girlfriend.
As for his former clients – sadly, many will choose to believe. Marty had been a suspect individual in this industry long before most of the families who are going to stand by him were around. He always found trusting people. I've read the complaint. And there is still more to be told about this situation.
I know my family boundary would be not to work with someone who had pled no contest to oral copulation with a minor.
How can you defend someone that did indeed do this. Maybe this is Marty himself? Hmmm…. one wonders.
Thank you former client for not being ignorant to the flawed justice system.
Parent: You are delusional and you are believing a convicted felon. Yes, he was convicted–not just accused–of two FELONIES. He was not just convicted of a lewd act…that is a lie. It was "oral XXXX with a minor under age 14", sec. 288a. If you believe that is just like getting caught with a girlfriend, you are NOT a protective parent. You are just plain stupid.
Marty Weiss was also sentenced to be in a sex offender treatment program. HE IS A CONVICTED CHILD MOLESTER. Please, for the sake of your child, come to grips with the facts. People like you are the reason victims don't come forward until they are adults. The children just can't disappoint their parents by admitting what actually was happening. Please don't set up that environment for your child.
Have you read the complaint and the affidavits in this case? I have. The crimes he committed were too graphic to write on this board, and they were in too much detail to be doubted. Marty Weiss hasn't shared them with you, has he? He pled "no contest" to avoid a trial because he didn't want those details to come out.
He also didn't want the other "character witnesses" to talk about
his decades of abuse, associations with other convicted child molesters, and questionable behavior. Marty has been known for decades, back to when he was "accompanying" Corey Haim (yep, add 2 + 2). Since then allegations have been frequent, but over and over the families were too afraid to ruin their careers by coming forward.
If you are thinking of helping Marty go back in to business, think again. No one in this town will hire his clients ever again.
To believe that nobody would ever hire his clients again is downright stupid! He gave up representing actors when he dissolved his business. Stop trying to attach a stigma to his previous clients! I hope none of his former clients are reading your post!
I think if he was to go back into business as a manager Anonymous is completely right. What studios are going to what that liability. Unfortunately, his plea bargain lets him still have free range with kids again. He can work anywhere with any adult present and tons of kids, SCARY. This is not a man that is going to stop what he has done. I don't know how this judge and prosecutor can sleep at night.
I am the parent of a former client. There is sure a lot of misinformation out there. No I haven't read the afidavits because they aren't public information. I do no there was enough.doubt to let Marty go after 6 months. He won't be coming back to the entertainment industry so I wouldn't worry about that. No children will be represented by him. I agree there needs to be more protection in Hollywood. I have never left my child alone with anyone. But we were very close to Marty as were many of his clients. Like a family really. I have talked to most of theme. All I have ever said is you do not know the whole story. This case is not ad black and white as everyone would like it to be. I won't bother trying to educate you anymore, but the complaint from the person who accused him did have holes in it. Fact. That is why they let him know. Another fact. He wasn't 11 when he met Marty, he was a teenager. I am not defending. I don't have to. Marty will no doubt keep as far away from all of you as possible so you don't have to worry about that. But he wasn't the child molester you paint him to be. Just because someone is gay or has a personality you assume he is a child molester. I wish the facts of the case were public because you would see it isn't how the media paints the picture. I won't go into anymore its irrelevant. Everyone should just move on with their life as I'm sure he's trying to do now. Just know…. If they could have locked him up forever they would have. The case had holes. The boy was older than he claimed. In 20 years of working with kids there are NO others…. In fact there was a petition of teenage boys stating how great a guy he is and that he never abused them even though he had lots of opportunities. And as far as none of his clients working. My son does just fine. Marty got him into acting and supported us every step of the way. We are sad he is out of the business but obviously understand why. We wish him the best trying to create a new life. Maybe someday they will make a movie of his life so you can all see the whole story. Until then, move on.
You might want to go back and read the article and comments back when he was arrested in December. Hope your child wasn't hurt by him but if I was your son I highly doubt I'd admit it to you.
If the kid was a teenager it would be ok? That's still sick.
California has a three strike rule. He molests one more kid who has the courage to come forward, and he goes to prison for life! Even if he steals something. One more strike and he's out. Hopefully an abuser was stopped.
I think I agree with everything people are saying. What bothers me is the fact that it isn't until after he's been convicted that another adult is required when he's in the presence of a minor. My question is why he was alone with minors on that many occasions, and for that period of time. I don't feel as though there's any situation where a talent agent needed to be alone without parental supervision then, let alone now. Where were the parents?

Client Profile: Braxton Brewing Company
I once wrote a blog post about NOT freelancing for friends or family. Well I'm eating my words, because lately, working with friends has not only been extremely rewarding but also super fun.
I recently wrapped up an email redesign project with Braxton Brewing Company based out of Cincinnati, OH. If you haven't heard of them yet, you will soon. They're brewing up a lot of buzz about their brand, including new email templates.
Here were the project requirements:
- One email template to accommodate newsletter content.
- One email template to accommodate events/general information.
- Design mockups
- Responsive HTML/CSS templates
- Implementation into MailChimp
These were pretty standard requirements and deliverables and I was really excited to do email design work for a brewery. Working with my friend and former colleague, Jonathan Gandolf, was also a major perk. We worked closely and collaborated from beginning to end to complete the project. We laughed. We cried. We rejoiced when we figured out how to edit custom templates in MailChimp.
Overall it was a great learning experience and that's what I love to get out of a project like this. Not only was it fun, I got to work with a friend but I also learned new skills I can carry with me to my next freelance project.

text: Charter schools in St. Louis and Kansas City are closely watching a case unfolding in Cole County Circuit Court in our seat of Missouri government. Circuit Judge Dan Green is considering claims by KC charter Gordon Parks Elementary that the State Board of Education didn't follow the law in denying its charter renewal application. It has been reported that the State Board and its bureaucracy, the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, put a target on Gordon Parks to test recent state law changes. They picked a school that isn't going quietly. Among heavy hitters who have come out publicly for the school are KC Democratic kingmaker and superdonor Jim Nutter. The school focuses on the children most at risk in grades K-5 grades from KC's urban core. Some are homeless. Most qualify for free lunches and many have special education needs. Inside the courtroom, Gordon Parks' case is being advanced by Jefferson City's most influential attorney,Chuck Hatfield of the Stinson Morrison Hecker firm. Hatfield handled Gordon Parks testimony in the morning, then stepped to a nearby courtroom to argue for Morgan Keegan in the Mamtek sweetener plant debacle, then he dashed back to Judge Green's court. The Gordon Parks hearing resumes Friday morning. The school is named for the esteemed first African-American staff photographer for Life magazine, who also directed the groundbreaking blaxploitation film "Shaft." Social angle: Gordon Parks, who died in 2006, was a companion for decades with wealthy socialite Gloria Vanderbilt. Gloria's son, CNN's Anderson Cooper, has warm memories of Parks and his very cool sports car.
