A Phoenix woman accused of threatening two of her children with a butcher knife Christmas night 2011 was sentenced to one year in jail and three years of supervised probation Tuesday.
Jutrina Tillman, 33, was sentenced by Judge Jeanne Garcia after pleading guilty in March to disorderly conduct.
Tillman, 33, was arrested in late December 2011 on suspicion of two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
Police say they received a frantic 911 call from a sobbing 13-year-old girl who said her mother had a 6- to 8-inch knife and allegedly was attempting to kill her and her 5-year-old brother.
The girl told police that her mother had been drinking alcohol all night and was getting mad at her brother for playing video games he got as Christmas gifts.

Fast-food king McDonald's (MCD) rose around 2% Monday after the company announced that global same-store sales rose a better-than-expected 2.6% last month — partly in thanks to its new egg-white McMuffin. The stock relinquished most of those gains yesterday, however.
Apple's (AAPL) Worldwide Developer Conference kicked off Monday, and the company debuted its iOS 7 operating system, among other products. Still, Wall Street seems skeptical about the company's future, as the one-time tech darling has lost more than 17% this year so far.
More on the conference:

- Apple Unveils iOS 7, New MacBooks & More
- Even If Innovation Isn't Dead at Apple, the Stock Sure Is
Lululemon (LULU) stock plummeted 17% yesterday despite a solid quarterly earnings release. The reason? CEO Christine Day announced plans to step down pending the naming of a replacement. Day said the decision was made for personal reasons.
Google (GOOG) announced Monday that it had purchased Waze — a hot navigation app — for $1.1 billion. The deal was just one example of a recent rush in M&A activity.
Next up, we have a surprising high-flier: drugstore chain Rite Aid (RAD). The stock is up around 5% so far this week, continuing a run that has seen RAD shares more than double in 2013 alone. Here's a strategy current RAD shareholders might want to employ before the company reports earnings next Thursday.
Last but not least, Walmart (WMT) — whose stock price remains near an all-time high — held its annual shareholder meeting late last week and has been working to rid its brand of negative shopper stereotypes. So far this year, the big-box retailer is lagging the market with 10% YTD gains.

Amherst College
Men's Hockey
> Smith Tabbed All-American
Smith Tabbed JOFA/AHCA College Division Ice Hockey All-American
March 20, 2001
Smith is a two-time
First-Team All-NESCAC selection
and the 2001 Conference
Player of the Year
AMHERST, Mass. - Amherst College senior defenseman Jim Smith (Rochester, MN) was named a JOFA College Division Ice Hockey First-Team All-American by the American Hockey Coaches Association after leading the Jeffs to the title game of the NESCAC Championship Tournament and an 18-5-3 overall record.
A two-time First-Team All-NESCAC selection and this year's Conference Player of the Year, Smith led the Jeffs in scoring and finished fourth in the NESCAC with 13 goals, 25 assists and 38 points in 26 games. He was also the conference's top scoring defenseman and the 20th leading assist-man in the nation (.96/gm.). Smith was one of three NESCAC players selected to the All-American team, along with Middlebury College second-team picks Matt Skoglund and Scott Goldman.
After posting a 16-4-3 record through the end of the regular season, including a final weekend sweep of the Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts and archrival Williams College, Amherst wrapped up the number-two seed in the seven-team NESCAC Championship Tournament. From there, the Jeffs dispatched Williams and Bowdoin College and played defending champion and top-seed Middlebury to a dramatic 4-3 overtime-loss in the title game. Despite missing out on the lone at-large bid to the Division III NCAA Tournament, Amherst finished the season ranked sixth in the final U.S. College Hockey Online poll, on the strength of six wins in its last seven outings.

|Home > National News > Workplace Revolutions > Article
The notion of treating them mean to keep them keen is almost a heresy in the new workplace, writes Sherrill Nixon in the second part of a Herald series.
Management gurus around the world have finally hit on the next big thing in business - treating their staff like human beings.
If you're not people-centric these days, you haven't a hope of succeeding in the new business world, where human capital is king.
Successful traders in human capital have ditched their love of technology to engage in a "war for talent" to recruit and retain top staff, placing the best of the best in "talent programs".
They spend millions on developing "values", "visions" and "mission statements", which they plaster on office walls or ask people to wear on ID tags close to their heart.
And today's best leaders have "emotional intelligence" to deal with the "Millennials", the new generation just entering the workforce with a completely different attitude to work.
These newcomers have no respect for authority and formality, and the workplace is evolving to accommodate them.
Take "Campus MLC" - the headquarters of the financial services company that is Sydney's leading example of the officeless office.
Behind its 50-year-old facade in North Sydney, this workplace of the future has no private offices, only workstations laid out in a wavy fashion on open-plan floors.
Even the CEO, Peter Scott, and senior executives sit at workstations the same size as that of the most junior worker.
Business is done in the queue for coffee at the cafe on level six, or at the huge dining tables in the kitchens at the centre of each floor.
If you want a private meeting you duck into one of the colourful "meeting pods" scattered over the 12 floors or grab a table that has a shower curtain around it for some privacy.
"When you walk around you won't be able to spot the power," says Rosemary Kirkby, who led the MLC workplace transformation in the late 1990s.
"The emphasis is on contribution, it's not on seniority ... the world is just too complex and too fast for the command-and-control [management model] to work."
That was the old way. Now, the creed goes, it's back to basics after a string of cost-cutting exercises dressed up as innovative management that elevated technology and procedure to corporate gods.
Gone is the "total quality management" approach of the 1980s that sought to make money by squeezing every last inch and dollar out of company processes.
Ditched is the downsizing frenzy of the 1990s that dictated mass sackings to improve the bottom line.
Today, the management mantra is all about people and the knowledge they carry around in their heads.
"People are your greatest asset," says Anthony Davidson, a director of the management development company Performance Frontiers. "That, now more than ever, is the reality.
"We are talking about human intellect. Unless you are going to have your human intellect working for you, you are going to be outgunned by other organisations who are using their human capital effectively."
One of the driving factors in this new mindset is the Generation X or Y employee (Gen Y is also known as the Millennials), whose loyalty is only to themselves, not to their boss.
Raised on technology and constant change, these employees hate hierarchy and refuse to be workaholics like their baby boomer parents.
Mobile and motivated not by money but by life experiences, they want to feel that they are contributing to something big. Their motto is "challenge me", and that is what today's employers say they must do to retain their services.
In this new people-centric world of business, even the term human resources has been abandoned in some companies, replaced by employee relations or even people-and-performance or people-and-knowledge
Some companies even allow their HR directors to take a seat at the executive table and highlight HR strategy in their annual report to attract investment
and staff.
However, not everyone is convinced by the new management mantra of "people are our greatest resource".
"The evidence is that [a mantra] is all it remains," says David Lamond, the director of the Sydney Graduate School of Management.
"These are the things that are trotted out to make shareholders feel good ... what
we do know is that Australian employees are working longer hours, working harder than ever before.
"If we indeed were being people-centric, we would be seeing people working smarter instead of working harder.
"It's time Australian companies got serious about their claims to be people-centric."

TFF 2010: Joan Rivers Proves She's 'A Piece of Work'
Filmmaker Ricki Stern's past documentaries addressed heavy topics such as the Rwandan genocide and the death penalty. Her latest film, "Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work," focuses on an aging comedian known for her plastic surgery and Oscar night zingers.
The film is less an homage to a comedy icon than a warts-and-all portrait of a workaholic who considers herself a has-been in a world that hasn't been kind to her.
"Joan Rivers" was shot between June 2008 and August 2009, when Rivers was fighting to revive her flagging career at the age of 75. That year saw an autobiographical play that opened to mixed reviews in London and an appearance on the reality television series "The Celebrity Apprentice."
The film premiered at the Sundance Festival and will be released in theaters in June. Stern spoke to the Wall Street Journal from the Tribeca Film Festival, where the film has been on view.

Cornerback Cedric Griffin on Wednesday returned to practice following his four-game suspension for the use of performance enhancing drugs, and while admitting that he embarrassed himself, the seven-year veteran added that he aims to play Sunday and contribute to an eighth straight win for the Redskins.
"I'm out there practicing, so I'm pretty sure I'll be there," Griffin said. "I'm in good shape right now, coach Shanahan feels comfortable about my situation, [defensive backs coach] Raheem [Morris] feels comfortable, [defensive coordinator] Jim [Haslett] feels comfortable. As long as we continue to be in the right positions, coach will be calling the right plays, and we'll be making plays out there.
"Any time you face embarrassment in the public, it's kind of tough," Griffin added. "But at the same time, it's about how you come back. I'm not really worried about what people say or the media says. It was a fault on my behalf, and it's something I'll have to [own] up to."
Griffin had served as Washington's third cornerback and because of his size and experience, the 6-foot, 195-pounder gave the Redskins a good deal of versatility as he lined up alongside starters DeAngelo Hall and Josh Wilson frequently.
Griffin was coming off one of his best games of the season in Week 13 when he received word from the league that his suspension (stemming from the use of Adderall, according to people with knowledge of the situation) and subsequent denied appeal had been finalized and that he would miss the final four games of the regular season.
Wednesday was the first day that Griffin was able to practice, but no decision has been made about whether he will play Sunday against Seattle.
The Redskins will evaluate him throughout the week to judge his conditioning, and then will make a decision closer to gameday as to whether or not he can play effectively.
Asked how he looked on Wednesday, Shanahan said of Griffin: "He looked like he's been away a few weeks. I thought he had a good day of practice, but we'll evaluate it day-by-day."
Griffin said that he maintained his conditioning by working out, lifting and running on his own during the time that he was banned from the Redskins Park. He watched all of his team's final four games, and expressed gratitude that he could get a chance to redeem himself with contributions in the playoffs.
"I've been there in spirit, man. I've been praying a whole lot, just sitting there, watching the games, on the edge of my seats," Griffin said. "I've been the biggest cheerleader for the Washington Redskins, and I'm just thankful for coach Shanahan, and Paul [Kelly, the team's Director of Football Operations], and everybody just for bringing me back, and making sure I'm going to contribute during this playoff run."

What if your saw could be powered by the sawdust it generates?
Sounds far-fetched but it could someday become a reality – not using actual sawdust, but using power from a battery that contains wood fiber, sodium, and tin. Scientists at the University of Maryland have been experimenting with just such a battery. Wood fibers that once held mineral rich water inside a tree are ideal for storing the electrolytes used in batteries. In the experimental battery the fibers are coated with tin and sodium is used in place of lithium-ion. These environmentally friendly batteries are not as efficient as lithium-ion batteries and would likely be targeted towards large applications at solar farms and power plants. You might not put a wood fiber battery in the tool, but it could be powered or charged with electricity that came from a wood fiber battery.

I have previously stayed at this resort. The resort itself is set within 35 acres of woodland overlooking the town of Aberfeldy which is a 5 minute walk away. The setting of Moness is absolutely stunning with gorgeous views every where you looked. The first time I stayed I went into a self catering cottage and everything that I needed was there. It was fantastic. The beds are enormous and we felt it was like a home from home. I went with my partner and found it to be a very romantic place to… Read Full Review

We were looking for a base to explore Scotland and found Moness Country Club to be perfect for this. We were on a tight budget so didn't want to spend too much but also wanted to be comfortable.

Lehman Brothers has a tentative deal to sell 237 Park Avenue, a 21-storey office tower near New York's Grand Central Terminal, to a joint venture including Scott Rechler's RXR Realty.
Rechler is teaming with Walton Street Capital, a closely held real estate investment firm based in Chicago, according to a statement from the buyers. The group agreed to pay about US$800 million for the 116,000-square-metre property, said a person with knowledge of the deal.
The deal would continue Lehman's sell off of real estate that began as it was negotiating its emergence from the biggest bankruptcy in US history.
In November, it agreed to sell the assets of Archstone, an apartment landlord, to Equity Residential and AvalonBay Communities for US$6.5 billion.
For Rechler, the second-biggest buyer of New York office properties since 2009, the purchase would give him two towers across the street from one another just north-east of the regional rail hub. Last year he bought the leasehold on 450 Lexington Avenue, a 40-storey tower across East 45th Street from 237 Park Avenue, for US$688 million.
"It's rare that you can purchase a modern office building in such a location at such a significant discount to replacement cost," Rechler said in the statement. "We look forward to re-energising 237 Park with a transformative redevelopment."
Last month, RXR agreed to buy a 99-year leasehold interest in 75 Rockefeller Plaza, a 33-storey skyscraper completed in 1947. That tower, the final edifice built as part of Rockefeller Centre, is to be vacated next year in anticipation of a top-to-bottom renovation.
The pending sale of 273 Park Avenue was reported in The Wall Street Journal.
A Lehman spokeswoman said she couldn't comment.

WipEout series claims first ever UK chart top spot with Omega Collection
I expected a bit of an old Wipeout port to be honest. Instead, we got a FANTASTIC, polished, all-new experience most worthy of the Wipeout pedigree. It is truly fantastic. I love all my anti-grav racers on PC, but I enjoy PS4's Wipeout Omega most of all. Reply +4

Why I think big console game sales are down
There are cross-platform gamers too. I'm a PC gamer who bought a PS4 for exclusives, but there have only been about half a dozen of those. Console games are outrageously expensive - even used-game prices are often more expensive than a digital version from Steam. For multi-platform gamers, consoles are offering very little incentive.

Nvidia unveils cut-down GeForce GTX 1060 3GB
@legendmir1 If you already have a 4Gb GTX 970, there is only a slight upgrade to the GTX 1060, and worse, this one is gimped down to 3Gb GDDR which has already shown itself to be a bottleneck to a small number of games (so this would actually be a downgrade for you). Your most sensible upgrade would be to save up for a GTX 1080 as this would give you a much bigger upgrade return, though that cost is an issue especially with the Brexit factor. Reply +2

@frazzl I agree: a modern-day AC would be great. Quite honestly, if Ubi had added an Animus to Watch-dogs, that would have been it.

It feels very 'familiar' to anyone who's played an AC game, put it that way. :D Reply +1

Bethesda warns: you should have 4GB of VRAM to play The Evil Within PC
I don't get why any PC gamers are so surprised that games are no longer to be held back by old console tech. Both AMD and nvidia have been making 4Gb+ VRAM cards for some time now - there is NO element of surprise in this. nvidia 780Ti buyers could have paid more for 6Gb instead of 3Gb by opting for a Titan Black (a slightly souped up 780Ti with 6Gb), or opted for a few less fps for a vanilla 4Gb 780 instead). 4Gb will likely become the minimum over the next 2 years for best settings (a prototype 980 with 8Gb has already been photographed in a Chinese magazine and the already-released mobile GEForce 8 carries 8Gb).

Google Play removing "free" label for F2P games with in-app purchases
I'd prefer the 'free' aspect simply to be categorised. Those that are free but you can optionally buy upgrade packs not necessary to ENJOY the game (ie you don't have to grind without the purchases), those that are free for, say, the first hour just so you can try before you buy, those that really are fleecing people (repeated IAPs needed to get any enjoyment out of the game) and of course those that are absolutely and totally free, unhampered, but with a few non-intrusive adverts to make revenue.
This would make the 'free' arena much more transparent without disadvantaging those who are using the model in better ways than the serial cash-grabbers. Reply 0

Face-Off: Sniper Elite 3
@INSERT-COIN: The Titan GPU is by no means a "shit" GPU for games. You can say it's a shit PRICE (that's totally fair - it IS), but as a GPU it's pretty stellar. Take the Titan Black for instance; it's a full-blown GTX 780Ti with a fractionally faster clock and twice the VRAM (and double-precision unlocked which is merely an 'aside' for a gamer). It might be a shit choice if you're on a budget, but I imagine many nvidia gamers would like a 780Ti with 6Gb VRAM if money was no object. Reply +1

The sickening side of the Steam summer sale
@RoOhDaMite New and risky games died with the console. If it couldn't be played on a gamepad, forget it. So we were left with a pile of war, fighting and racing games, and a dearth of strategy and simulation games. Until AAA devs dare to move away from the basic warring and racing formula, we're stuck with it.
I actually don't see anything wrong with sequels at all (unless a dev strays too far from the formula that made the original games successful, such as Simcity's tragic end). To have more of a game you thoroughly enjoyed is a good thing, but new IPs are actually in the stranglehold of what will sell on console rather than much to do with sales prices. We saw this throughout the 2000s as war game after war game was pumped out at us. It was stifling, but they sold. They made publishers an absolute mint.
Trading digital licenses wouldn't add any benefit or incentive to change the situation. At least with sales, money is still reaching the publishers. Trading brings no more advantage than piracy as far as devs and publishers are concerned. Whether a game is swapped, traded or stolen, the dev makes nothing from that.
The biggest incentive for new and fresh IPs will probably come from the indie market. AAA publishers are noticing those games like Banished that ended up being top sellers on Steam - developed by people not held to a certain genre and audience. Reply 0

A favorite tactic of those who deny global warming is to exagerate the importance of the temperature record of the contiguous United States (the lower 48 states of the continental USA).
It's only 1.6% of the surface area of the planet, so it's not truly representative of the globe as a whole.
But what the heck, it is part of planet earth, so it's interesting to examine the temperature history of the contiguous U.S., aka the "lower 48 states," aka "USA48."
[See graph]
Another recurring tactic is to portray USA48 temperature change (and other things too) unrealistically.
...Splitting the record into pieces at 1998 is yet another common tactic.
Not only does doing so omit the extreme 1998 rise from earlier data, it also makes for an artificially high starting point for subsequent data — kinda like tracking the heights of men walking through a doorway but deliberately starting with Shaquille O'Neal, because you know that whoever comes afterward is likely to be shorter.
Should we take to calling that tactic the "Shaq attack"?

ISO 20000 certification will serve as a distinguishing factor for us in the federal and commercial marketplace.
MECHANICSBURG, Pa. (PRWEB) April 08, 2014
Client Solution Architects (CSA) joins an exclusive group of worldwide organizations certified in the first international standard for IT Service Management that is fully compatible and supportive of the ITIL (IT Infrastructure Library) framework. Formally referred to as ISO/IEC 20000-1:2011, ISO 20000 promotes the adoption of an integrated process approach to assess service levels, measure performance and implement continuous improvement to effectively deliver managed services.

CSA is one of 65 organizations in the U.S. (according to APMG International as of April 2014) to be granted the ISO/IEC 20000-1:2011 Certification. CSA's service management system was audited and certified through BSI Group (British Standards Institution), a registered certification body primarily responsible for the development of ISO/IEC 20000 standards. CSA is certified under two seals: ANSI-ASQ National Accreditation Board (ANAB) and APMG International.

Catherine Zeta-Jones has stripped off for her first ever nude photo shoot for Allure magazine but admits she wasn't daunted by the prospect because she's confident of her body.
The 40-year-old beauty said: "That's when your dancing days and being in theatre pay off. When you're doing a quick change, you don't give a damn who sees you."
While Zeta-Jones - who has two children, Dylan, 9, and Carys, 6, with husband Michael Douglas - has no problems getting naked, she recently admitted it's harder to do now the family live in New York rather than Bermuda.
She said: "In Bermuda, the children were like naked, opening the back door. So was I. Just running out into the garden. It's really hard to do that in Central Park!"
Welsh-born Zeta-Jones says the family are used to moving around and admits they would love to sail around the world.
She added: "I wouldn't be surprised if we do that."

Democrats Ask Drug Policy Office to Do More to Combat Opioid Epidemic
Twenty Democratic senators are asking the Office of National Drug Control Policy to do more to combat the opioid epidemic, according to the Associated Press.
Get personalized support for your family
Compliance to daily drug regimens has been an ongoing challenge in opioid-addiction treatment, but, as outlined in an Oct. 21 Associated Press report, emerging long-term therapies may provide an effective solution.
Daily methadone or buprenorphine has been the standard of care for patients addicted to heroin or prescription pain medications. Both drugs effectively suppress withdrawal and cravings, but sticking to daily treatment is difficult for many patients, and missed doses can lead to relapse. Buprenorphine is also a take-home drug, and diversion is a growing problem.
On Oct. 12, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Vivitrol, a once-monthly shot manufactured by Alkermes, Inc., for treating opioid addiction. Vivitrol is said to effectively suppress the ?high? associated with opioid use. Vivitrol?s active ingredient, naltrexone, is not addictive and has been used to treat alcohol addiction for years.
Another long-term drug on the horizon is Probuphine, a match-sized implant from Titan Pharmaceuticals that releases low doses of buprenorphine for up to six months. Although research into Probuphine?s safety and effectiveness is ongoing, it may be up for FDA approval as early as next spring.
Long-term therapies aren?t the answer for all opioid-addicted patients. More than 50 percent of patients in a clinical trial of Probuphine had a reaction at the implant site, according to the article in the Journal of the American Medical Assocation. Site reactions were also reported for Vivitrol, as were more serious side effects including liver damage.
Still, both drugs may help patients for whom other options have failed, said Nora Volkow, M.D., director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse.
That's been true for T. J. Voller, a 29-year-old Westborough, Mass., resident who had only short-term success taking oral buprenorphine to tackle his heroin addiction. Voller, who is now back in college, has received Vivitrol injections for the past year.
"If I didn't want to take [oral buprenorphine] and wanted to get high, there was nothing to stop me," said Voller. "[Now] I get an injection once a month, and I don't have to worry. I'm not saying I don't have my bad days, but they're much more manageable."

I have also illustrated my stories in the form of graphic novels, found on www.feedaread.com. Some of my tales include songs which I have written - and I currently work collaboratively to produce CD's and music videos with Gilead - a recording studio in Yorkshire. My stories and songs partly capture the essence of my own life journey in faith and adventure - I have been an actress touring the U.K with Riding Lights Theatre Company of York, performing in prisons, schools, churches, community centres, old people's homes and theatres. I also have toured Germany, Austria and Switzerland with an international theatre company, performing plays in German. My varied experience has ignited a great variety inspiration!

Star pegs out a different housewife role
Entertainment Reporter
BLONDE bombshell Nicollette Sheridan may be rich and famous, but she still does some housework.
The vixen star of hit US television series Desperate Housewives, in Melbourne yesterday to promote an underwear company, blamed her perfectionist tendencies for slowing her in her chores. "I'm a bit of neat freak," she said. "Everything has to be just so."
Sheridan plays serial divorcee Edie Britt in the series, which is the highest-rating on Australian television. The Seven Network series lags behind such one-off television "events" as the AFL grand final in viewer numbers, but its final episode still drew almost 800,000 viewers in Melbourne making it one of the 10 most-watched programs of the year.
Sheridan, 41, yesterday judged a housekeeping "race" at Southbank in which four competitors ran to complete chores that included setting a table and vacuuming.
"I'm a perfectionist as well," she said, after helping a competitor who was slowly but carefully pegging bras on a clothes line.
Stuart Budge, 35, of Donvale, impressed lunchtime diners with his speed through the challenges. Mr Budge, the general manager of a flooring business, won the competition easily and earned himself the prize of a weekend holiday.
Resplendent in a red and white summer dress, Sheridan paused when questioned about the last time she had used a vacuum cleaner. "That would be when Oliver, my golden retriever, brought mud from the pool into the bedroom," she said smiling.
Sheridan first came to prominence as the manipulative Paige Matheson in the long-running drama series Knots Landing. She has also starred in a number of comedy films. She said she would like to join fellow Desperate Housewives cast member Eva Longoria at next month's Melbourne Cup carnival, but could not confirm that she will be able to.
"I don't know that I'll be allowed out of Wisteria Lane," she said.
Sheridan contributed a signed bra to a charity auction and appeared in an episode of Channel Ten's Rove Live last night. She is due to leave Australia this morning to return to Los Angeles.

Oh, the birth announcement. With my first, it was a beautiful handmade card complete with a lovely black and white photo, her baby "stats", and a special verse from the Bible that was significant to my family. I sent it out to family, friends, college roommates. It was a big deal. With my second there was still a card but it was sent out somewhere around month three or four when I was finally coming up for air after learning to balance two kids.
And with each birth (there were two more after that) the birth announcement kind of dwindled away. Don't get me wrong, I really wanted to have a special heirloom quality birth announcement for each of my girls but with just trying to cope with those first crazy weeks of balancing my growing brood, the birth announcements didn't happen.
You'd think, writing for Babycenter for all these years, I would be hip to all Babycenter has to offer. But today I discovered a new-to-me find–Babycenter's free birth announcements. So many of us intend to send those lovely cards out–and maybe we do–but whether it's the cost of all that printing and postage, or the time to stuff and address envelopes, sometimes it's not feasible to send everyone on our list a paper announcement through the mail. It often seems more efficient and sanity-saving to send out a mass email with your good news. That's why I love these Babycenter birth announcements which still allow you the simplicity of an e-announcement, but with a lot more style.
Even though there's no brand new bundle of joy in my life right now, I went through the process of creating a birth announcement. It really couldn't get much simpler. There are several great designs to choose from. Then you simply fill in your important text–the baby's name, date of birth and baby stats. There's even a place to add your own unique personal message or quote.
After you've completed your design, the next step in the process allows you to easily connect with your Gmail, Outlook, AOL, Yahoo, or other mail accounts so that you can easily select from your contact lists the people who will receive your card. Or, if you'd prefer you can enter in their email addresses one at a time. Next, you have the choice of who can see your card–do you want it to be public in the Babycenter community? Or restricted to just your Babycenter friends? Or completely private and only visible to the people on your email list. After a final proofing of the finished product, your sweet birth announcement is sent off to the inboxes of your loved ones, family and friends.
And now you can focus on the really important stuff–enjoying those early days with your new babe.

TOP STORY >>'Triple 7' missions save lives
By HEATHER HARTSELL
Leader staff writer
The 463rd Airlift Group at Little Rock Air Force Base celebrated when it reached the 5,000 mark last month for the number of convoy vehicles taken off the roads in Iraq thanks to C-130 airlift missions. Reducing the number of road convoys reduced injuries and deaths from improvised explosive devices (IEDs) that blow up on Iraqs war-riddled highways.
Airmen from the 463rd AG carry a large part of the deployment load because of the busy C-130 mission of its deployed squadron, the 777th Expeditionary Airlift Squadron at Balad Air Base, Iraq.
The Triple 7 flies about 25 to 30 sorties (flights) a day, carrying everything from passengers to supplies, to food and medical evacuations. The squadron, along with other elements of the 463rd, have been on a standing deployment for the past six years.
Their mission while deployed is three-fold: convoy mitigation keep the convoys off the road with C-130 missions; communications support missions flying overhead if convoys on the ground need support; and joint precision airdrop (JPAD) capabilities the ability to drop cargo from higher altitudes with better accuracy.
Lieutenant Col. Mark Czelusta knows this mission well. Not only did he command the 777th from June to October 2006, he was a key player in establishing it.
It was a total team effort, it was not anything any one person could do, Czelusta said Friday concerning his command of the Air Forces only hub and spoke airlift squadron in Iraq, for which he received a Bronze Star.
The hub and spoke works in the same fashion as any large commercial airport.
The larger planes bring the cargo (passengers) in and the smaller planes leave to carry the passengers or cargo to further, smaller airports.
Czelusta, the commander of the 463rd Operations Support Squadron at LRAFB, said the hub and spoke came about when trying to answer the question of how, by placing a small attachment of C-130s up and into Iraq, would the squadrons cargo velocity increase.
We set that up as a test, and it proved to be so successful that we worked to establish the first squadron, Czelusta said.
Triple Seven was not my brainchild, it was something the team came up with and something made real by the total team.
The total team wasnt confined to the airlift group, it was confined to the whole prospect of LRAFB because you start flying C-130s at Little Rock, Czelusta said.
The skills ingrained from day one at the school house are refined and encouraged by squadrons; the operation arm is just one part of the whole puzzle, he added.
The system works because Balad is large enough to handle the heavy C-17 and C-5 cargo airplanes and because the C-130s and their crews are capable of operating in austere locations.
The C-130s have short landing capabilities, the crews are trained starting here at Little Rock to operate in austere environments, Czelusta said. From day one the crews are trained in that direction, the airplane is built to operate in an austere environment, its sturdy, can operate on rougher runways, and can operate on shorter, smaller runways, he said.
And because smaller units at smaller outposts do not always need a C-17 load of cargo but only a C-130 load, the squadron fit the bill.
The C-130 is so well suited to that. The crews are trained to be efficient on the ground, to get in and get out, to not get in the way of what is going on, but to still keep the troops supplied, Czelusta said, adding, the unique capacity of our fleet to operate with shorter legs and quick turns and time velocity is what really makes the 777th a unique squadron.
I know that every time one of our airplanes pulled up, there were big happy, smiling faces on our Army troops, he added.
The C-130 crews are trained to operate in hostile airspace, and the C-130s have the equipment on board to operate in it as well.
Whether its the 1960s era C-130, the 1990s C-130H3, to now the J model, theyve all got the equipment to be effective and survivable in that kind of hostile airspace, the 18-year commissioned officer said.
The 777th also performed convoy communications support missions.
A command and control module was placed in the back of the airplane during flights to assist ground convoys with communications, whether it was calling in fire support, a medical evacuation, relaying messages, or a status check; the module also kept track of the convoys location.
Sometimes the waves of communications are not good enough, Czelusta said, the vast majority of convoy status checks was were a o.k. - good to go.
Czelusta said crews flew communication missions sometimes for more than 10 hours in the air for communications support, but the crews were also still flying the same number of cargo transport missions.
The 777th in Balad is still doing that today, he said.
About 15 months ago, Air Mobility Command began developing the joint precision airdrop and Czelusta said the 463rd AG jumped at the chance to be the lead unit.
We are the only ones with unit level capability to put multiple airplanes in the air at the same time with JPAD capabilities; there are some with individual capability, but the 463rds 777th in Balad is the only one with unit level, he said. The first time JPAD was used in combat was in Afghanistan in July and it was successful, bringing initial capability for JPAD to the theater three months before the Armys goal.
Czelusta will leave LRAFB this summer for Senior Developmental Education, the air-war college equivalent, stationed in the Bavarian Alps of Germany focusing on European security.

Plankton's place in the sun
Sunbathers could be slapping on plankton lotion after a discovery by marine scientists.
Researchers at Plymouth were working out how the microscopic algae protected itself from the sun's ultra violet rays.
Marine chemist Carole Llewellyn realised there could be a commercial spin-off for the natural sunscreen produced by the plants.
Plymouth Marine Laboratory staff are now working with the high street chain Boots to create a new product using extracts from phytoplankton.
The rays cause skin cancer in humans - but they have also been killing off some kinds of plankton.
The scientists have found that others produce compounds to protect themselves.
Ms Llewellyn said: "These tiny plants have evolved over millions of years and have found a variety of ways to protect themselves, including the production of a compound that blocks out UV light."
She identified the key components of the plants' natural sunscreen.
A patent has now been filed.
Ed Galley, scientific adviser for Boots, said: "We are interested in these compounds because any products developed will be derived from a natural, renewable source."

Fossils are the remains or traces of ancient life which have been preserved by natural causes in the Earth's crust. Fossils include both the remains of organisms (such as bones or shells), and the traces of organisms (such as tracks, trails, and burrows - called trace fossils).
Paleontology is the science that studies fossils.
Most organisms that lived in the past left no record of their existence. Fossil preservation is a rare occurrence. To become preserved as a fossil, an organism must:
Organisms do not all have an equal chance of being preserved. The organism must live in a suitable environment. In general, marine and transitional environments are more favorable for fossil preservation than are continental environments, because the rate of sediment deposition tends to be higher.
The shells of invertebrates and single-celled organisms, or vertebrate bones and teeth may be preserved unaltered. These hard parts may have the following compositions:
Aragonite shells may be preserved unaltered in Cenozoic Era deposits, but aragonite is generally dissolved or recrystallized in older deposits. This is because aragonite is more soluble than calcite, and because aragonite is metastable, and in time recrystallizes to calcite.

Organic hard parts are made of resistant materials such as chitin, cellulose, keratin, sporopollenin, or collagen. Many arthropods, including the insects, have chitinous skeletons (an organic material similar in composition to our fingernails). Plant hard parts (wood) are composed of cellulose. The plant reproductive structures, spores and pollen, are made of sporopollenin.
The hard parts of many fossil organisms have been chemically altered by the addition, removal, or rearrangement of chemical constituents.

Carbonized remains of a fish from the Green River Formation, Wyoming.
Many fossils are simply imprints with no shell material present at all. Hard parts are commonly destroyed by decay or dissolution after burial, but may leave a record of their former presence in the surrounding sediment.
In rare circumstances, the soft parts of an animal may be preserved. Two common methods of soft part preservation are freezing and desiccation (drying or mummification).
Ice Age wooly mammoths from the Pleistocene Epoch have been found frozen in Siberia and Alaska. Skin, hair, and soft tissue have been preserved in frozen soil.
Soft parts of organisms such as insects or small frogs are preserved if the organism becomes trapped in pine resin (later altering to amber).

Larger mammals may become trapped in tar oozing from natural oil seeps, such as the LaBrea tar pits in Los Angeles, California.
Occasionally, human remains have been preserved in peat bogs in places like England, such as the 2000-year-old Lindow Man.
Trace fossils are markings in the sediment made by the activities of organisms. They result from the movement of organisms across the sediment surface, or the tunneling of organisms into the sediment, or the ingestion and excretion of sedimentary materials. The study of trace fossils is called ichnology.
Trace fossils provide geologists with much useful information about ancient water depths, paleocurrents, availability of food, and sediment deposition rates. In many cases, tracks of animals are the only record of their existence. For example, in many places, dinosaur tracks are much more abundant than dinosaur bones. During its lifetime, a single dinosaur makes millions of tracks, but leaves only one skeleton, which may or may not be preserved.
Trace fossils include tracks, trails, burrows, and borings.

Cantelope !
Can someone tell me if Dobermans are ok eating cantelope (musk Melon) ? I tried to find info on line but nothing about this fruit. But then -I have photo bucket and have been on this site since last July 2011 and Got Alexis in Feb 2012 at 8 weeks old and she is now almost 6 months old next week......AND STILL CAN GET A PIX OF HER ON HERE! lol! Thanks! Rena
I haven't heard anything bad about cantelope - all my dogs have loved it as well. I never gave them a LOT of it, but a few bites here and there.....
As for pics, I can't remember which button to click to get to Photobucket, but that's what I used. You bring up Photobucket, scan over pic, and click on copy image (the last option, I think.) Then you'll see a URL in your posting, and it changes to a photo when you post. Sorry I'm not more help. If I figure it out, I'll let you know!
Here's how I do it:
click the landscape button in the tool bar here that appears when you type a message (next to the red flash button and after the blue eraser looking thingy called remove format)
when that little window appears you will see browse server, ignore the URL wording
click browse server
click upload on the upper left of that window
click browse in the area that pops up
locate the picture you want on your computer and double click it
click Upload at the right of where the title of your picture should be showing
you will then see your picture in the bottom right corner of that little window
click on the picture in the bottom right corner once
it should appear in the original little box you used in step one of the instructions here
if you see it (it will not show up in full since the box is small but if you see parts of the picture then click the OK button in the bottom of that little window and it should appear here
when it does if it's too large for the message box or you want it smaller
click the picture once
you will see little squares on each corner
click the square in a corner and while holding the left button down drag your mouse towards the center of the message box to shrink the pic to fit (don't use the square in the middle of the top/bottom as that will skew the picture unless you want your fat dog thinner and your thin dog fatter, hahahaha
Sounds like a lot of steps but once you do it a couple of times it's really fast...
I had recently discovered that my dogs enjoy cantelope, or musk melon. They're not to crazy about honey dew, but will eat one or 2 small pieces. I don't give much more than that to them. I couldn't find anything on melons either so I assume in moderation, it's okay.
Here it is for cantaloupe: http://www.aspca.org/Pet-care/poison-control/Plants/true-cantaloupe.aspx
Here it is for Honey Dew: http://www.aspca.org/Pet-care/poison-control/Plants/honeydew-melon.aspx

Michigan Negligence Laws
Not only did you have to deal with the insurance and car repair hassle of getting rear-ended leaving the Red Wings game, but your neck still hurts from the accident. It was that other guy's fault you're injured, so do you have a negligence claim? If you're wondering how these claims work and if there are state laws regarding how much you can get for your injuries, this article is a brief summary of the negligence laws in Michigan.
General Negligence Laws
The legal concept of "negligence" is central to most personal injury cases. When someone fails to exercise an expected degree of care, and that failure results in an injury, that person is said to be negligent. Michigan negligence laws recognize "comparative negligence," in which recovery of damages is reduced proportionately to the plaintiff's own negligence.
Negligence Laws in Michigan
State negligence laws can vary. The basics of Michigan negligence laws are listed in the following chart.
Code Section
Comparative Negligence
For economic damages, award is reduced proportionately to plaintiff's negligence even if greater than 50%. For non-economic damages, negligence greater than 50% bars any recovery. (§600.2959)
Contributory Negligence-Limit to Plaintiff's Recovery
Contribution Among Tortfeasors
Yes; 600.2925c
Uniform Act
Negligence Cases
While lawsuits for negligence can cover many different scenarios, in order to win in court you must prove all of the same elements of a negligence case:
- Duty: the defendant must have owed you a duty of care;
- Breach of Duty: the defendant must have failed to meet that duty;
- Cause in Fact: you would not have been injured but for this failure;
- Proximate Cause: this specific failure (and not something else) must have caused your injury; and
- Damages: you must have actually been injured and suffered some loss.
For example, one of the above elements is "damages." This means you must have suffered damages (injuries, loss, etc.) in order for the defendant to be held liable. Even if you can prove that the defendant failed to meet his or her duty of care, you can not collect damages if you didn't suffer any injury or loss.
Have a Michigan Attorney Review Your Negligence Claim for Free
It's not always clear what your legal options are when you've been injured through no fault of your own, such as slipping and falling on a puddle in the grocery store. However, you may be able to recover for your losses by filing a negligence claim against the responsible party. Get started today by having a Michigan injury attorney review your claim at no cost to you.

As if we didn't know already, new statistics appear to prove that the 'big six' energy companies have been less than kosher in many of their dealings. Alex Blackburne looks into the findings.
Several of the most high-profile energy companies in the UK have been exploiting price hikes in the sector to pass on increasing bills to households, according to statistics obtained by The Guardian.
British Gas, EDF Energy, SSE, Southern Electric, E.ON and npower have all been accused of profiteering, after an analysis by researchers at Manchester University.
"There is a clear trend and this shows a widening gap between the price consumers pay and the wholesale cost paid by the energy companies", Dr Nathan Green, one of the statisticians responsible for collating the data, told The Guardian.
It's certainly not the first time that the 'big six' have had been on the wrong end of such scrutiny. A quick Google search for 'big six energy' relays reams of recent controversy that surrounds the UK's leading providers.
'Huge surge in customer complaints to 'big six' energy firms over billing errors and service', wrote the Daily Mail last month. The Metro ran a story in October entitled 'David Cameron tells 'big six' energy bills are too high'. And, The Sun's 'Big 6 energy firms use old folk in rip-off' is arguably (and predictably) the most startling of the lot.
The allegations came just days before another Guardian revelation – this time surrounding the lending of staff to government departments by energy companies.
The newspaper found that at least 50 employees from companies including EDF Energy, npower and Centrica, have been working for free on energy issues within government in the last four years.
"Companies such as the big six energy firms do not lend their staff to government for nothing – they expect a certain degree of influence, insider knowledge and preferential treatment in return", Caroline Lucas, the Green party MP, said to The Guardian.
"At such a pivotal time in the UK's energy and climate change policy, as ministers must get to grips with the realities of climate change, rising costs and energy insecurity, the strong presence of vested interests is a real cause for concern."
Both revelations individually highlight the growing need for openness and ethicalness within the energy sector, whilst also potentially explaining the reasoning behind the drastic cuts to the Feed-in Tariff scheme.
Whilst it's not entirely a bad thing to ask for expertise in order to progress policy, the Government are asking the wrong people. David Cameron is now seemingly tight-lipped about his well-documented 'greenest government ever' claims. It's sadly unsurprising that it's the high street providers that are giving them advice and not renewable energy ones.
The answer to these allegations most certainly lies within clean energy. Visit our Energy page to find out more.

3-year-old girl falls from third story Tampa window
TAMPA, Fla. (970 WFLA) – Tampa firefighters say a 3-year-old girl fell from a third floor window of an apartment Wednesday afternoon.
It happened around 3:30 at the Andover Place Apartments at 10200 block of Altavista Ave. in the New Tampa area of Hillsborough County.
Firefighters say according to paramedics, they were told that the child was jumping on a bed near the window and fell out of it. When rescue crews arrived, officials say she was alert and showed no obvious signs of injury.
As part of protocol paramedics called for an AeroMed helicopter to transport the patient to Tampa General Hospital as a trauma alert.
The child's current condition is unknown.
The mother was home at the time, according to firefighters.

WELLINGTON: The Hurricanes celebrations after their 30-28 Super Rugby win over the Lions in Johannesburg on Saturday (AEDT) have been dampened, with two off-field yellow cards later issued by the Sanzar citing commissioner.
Referee Steve Walsh kept his cards in his pocket during the game, but off-field yellows have been handed to Hurricanes lock Jason Eaton and prop Tristan Moran.
Moran's yellow was for a late and dangerous tackle on Lions five-eighth Elton Dainties in the first half, an incident where Walsh issued a penalty but the citing commissioner decided further action needed to be taken.
Eaton's yellow was for stamping or trampling an opponent in the second half of the tightly fought match, an incident which was not acted on by the referee.
In last week's first-up 26-39 loss to the Stormers in Cape Town, Hurricanes props Moran, Ben May and Jeffery Toomaga-Allen were all sin-binned.
Sanzar revamped the Super Rugby judicial system this season, introducing a white card for referees to use if they suspected foul play but didn't see the incident or were unsure of the culprit.
The citing commissioner then views the incident, checking to see if it requires judicial action.
Off-field yellow cards are issued by the citing commissioner for foul play incidents that he believes are very close to, but don't meet, the red card threshold for citing.
They have the same status as on-field cards, and a player must attend a judicial hearing once he accumulates three.
