EAST LAKE — Shorecrest didn't shoot its best team score of the season Monday, but its 319 at East Lake Woodlands was good enough to win the Class A, District 14 boys championship.
Karim Oliver led the Chargers with 75. Greyson Porter chipped in with 78, Kyle Murphy 81 and Tim Murphy 85.
Clearwater Central Catholic shot 323 to finish second and Indian Rocks Christian was third with 336. The top three teams advance next week's region tournament, also at East Lake Woodlands.
"We can shoot better than this, but today we just grinded it out," said Oliver, whose 75 was second lowest. "That's what this team does. We help each other out and we just grind. We really wanted to win districts."
Aside from the top three teams, the top three individuals not on advancing teams also make regionals. Canterbury's Kyle Shealy was the top individual with even-par 72. Northside Christian's Anthony Quintessenza (76) and Troy Hicks (79) were the other qualifiers.
"I had five birdies and five bogies," Shealy said. "I made a lot of up and downs. And I made a lot of putts on the front nine."
Indian Rocks Christian won the girls district championship with a team score of 410. Northside Christian was second with 463.
Those were the only two girls teams in the tournament.
Northside Christian was forced to play without top golfer Alyssa Lamoureux, who had her appendix removed Monday afternoon and will miss the rest of the season. The second-place finish snaps the Mustangs' nine-year district title streak.
The girls individual champion was Emma Paschal of Clearwater Central Catholic. Paschal shot 1-under 71, 10 shots better than second-place Ashley Kimbrough of Indian Rocks Christian.
"It was kind of one of those easy rounds," Paschal said. "I hit it straight, didn't get into much trouble. Kind of a boring round, really."
Paschal will advance to regionals as an individual. Emily Swidock of St. Petersburg Catholic shot 90 and Shorecrest's Sabrina
Murphy 102 to round out the top three individuals.
2A-14: Everyone moves on in this one
NEW PORT RICHEY — With only three schools able to field full teams and two individuals remaining, everyone moved on in Monday's Class 2A, District 14 girls tournament.
The only thing left was to sort out the pecking order.
The top team was easy. Mitchell, with five golfers capable of shooting the lowest round, had already put a lot of ground between itself and what passes for its competition.
And in one of the most anticlimactic tournaments, the Mustangs did just that, winning the team title with a score of 352.
Mitchell's girls played with razor-sharp focus, hitting the fairways and making clutch shots with three girls — Shyanne Dove (83), MacKenzie Bennett (88) and Lindsey Richardson (89) — all shooting in the 80s. They left little wiggle room for other teams to surge ahead.
Dove, who won individual honors, improved upon her previous season best by four strokes.
"We have such a strong, competitive team that any of us can shoot the best round on any given day," Dove said. "I thought I did well, especially on the front with a few birdies. It was definitely a confidence booster for me to have the round that I did."
Gulf, led by Sarah Usewick and Emily Couch, who each shot 97, finished as the runnerup (441).
Tarpon Springs was third (487). Anna Silva was the low scorer for the Spongers with 120.
Dunedin's Madeline Friese (120) and Anclote's Chelsea Steere (129) were the individuals not on full teams who moved on to regionals.

Dear Customer, thank you for choosing Just Answer. I would like to assist you in this matter. Unfortunately, as you are not an attorney you could not provide this type of legal services to the public. For public policy reasons attorneys are prohibited from going into any sort of business with non-attorneys where their practice of law may be affected by the ownership or business interests of the other person. This has no personal implications, but is a rule of professional conduct and rule of ethics by which all attorneys are bound.
Ok...I thought there might be an issue. What other methods could I do this if I had the open help from the attorneys?
You may have attorneys give advice so long as they do not have their legal practice controlled in any way by the partnership or business interest you have with them.
Ok, so I could take my clients issue to the attorney who could best service them, along with my help, work a commission deal with the attorney. Does that seem like it would work?
Unfortunately there is no way that relationship would be permitted.

i don't know why everybody is so in love with the idea of extending Miller. i agree that he was great this past season and a big part of the Sixers' success, but is it reasonable to expect that level of play from him as he gets into his mid-30's? i'm not so sure. in that interview he pointed out guys who have been successful at that stage in their careers (Payton, Cassell, Stockton), and rightly noticed that they all have great conditioning. despite his durability, Andre is not known for being well-conditioned (to the point that he doesn't even work out during the offseason). he also pointed out that his game is not predicated on quickness. he is already a defensive liability, and that should only increase if his quickness goes away. also, perhaps he hasn't noticed that the Sixers' team slogan is "Run With Us".
i've really liked Andre his whole career and thought he gave us great effort and leadership last year, but i don't think he is the right PG for our team going forward. with the amount of ball-handling we get from AI2, Lou Williams, with his speed and outside-shooting, will be a more effective long-term solution at PG. that's just my opinion.
I'm going to have to disagree with the defensive liability part of your statement. Miller is a very good defender and doesn't shy away from challenges. Against the Heat, he manned up on Wade. He also spent some time matched up with LeBron when they played the Cavs.
He has trouble with small, super quick PGs, but he's not a liability in general.
It's probably not realistic to expect him to be playing at this level 3 years down the road, but they've put themselves in the position where they really need to extend him. If he walks after this season then you're turning over the PG position to Lou, and essentially hoping against hope that he can be the point on a championship team. If Miller walks, they won't have anything more than the MLA to replace him for years to come (unless they can work a sign and trade).
They to extend him. All he's doing is trying to say the right things so he can make as much money as possible. My take on the article is that Miller is thinking about life A.B
He's not a liability in any way.
they have to exted him
I'm having a bad day.
I agree with Noah, but there are a lot more "pros" than "cons" in extending him. Andre's our best chance at a title with our current team, unless we somehow acquired an elite point guard, which is unlikely.
I'm a huge Lou fan, but we don't have time to perfect the position with Elton getting older and all the vets we signed this summer.
I dont see a willie green for chris paul trade coming anytime soon so its time to extend miller.
Our window with Brand is 3-4 years. Take care of Miller and bring along Lou slowly.

Pat Bunton, from London & Country Mortgages, has an inordinate number of brain cells dedicated to mortgage matters.
Our viewers put his neurons to good use in his final 'Ask the Expert' for Working Lunch.
As usual, click on one of the questions in blue below to skip straight to that answer, or scroll down the page to read them all.
1. If I pay off my mortgage early and cash in the associated endowment, I can save £3000 over the next three years. Is there a catch I haven't spotted?
No, just check whether or not there are any penalties being imposed by the endowment provider for early encashment - if there aren't go ahead safely, if there are, understand how much and make a balanced decision.
2. I have two years left on a five year fixed rate mortgage with penalties for early redemption. I have fallen into negative equity. Is there anything I can do other than make payments and hope that one day the value of the property is more than the loan?
Not really I'm afraid, the negative equity means you can't switch your mortgage elsewhere and we saw similar issues in the early 1990's, the hope has to be that property prices will go higher in the future and that you will get out of negative equity. We are a small island, there are not enough houses being built and we have a growing population so most factors in the medium and long term point to house prices going up, not down.
3. I want to help my son who can't pay his mortgage. I have equity in my house (£350,000), investments (£70,000) and my pension (£18,000 p.a.) Is one preferable over another for lenders as an asset to secure his home?
Clearly the best way would be to use either your savings or income to help your son in the short term. You would need to consider if you could afford to help him from your pension income and if you needed to raid your savings then assess what those savings are to ensure you do so as efficiently as possible.
4. I want to help my daughter and son-in-law with their deposit to get a bigger property. What do lenders prefer in this case? Should I cash in my ISAs and/or bonds, or take out a new mortgage?
Lenders are generally happy to lend at lower LTV's and the greater the deposit you have the better the rate they will offer so generally assistance with a deposit is the best financially. However you might not want to give money over, so uou could also act as a guarantor. Lloyds also allow a loan up to 95% with a 20% amount on deposit - charge on deposit for 3 ½ years at a fixed rate of 3.75% gross - if LTV drops below 90% the charge on the deposit is released.
5. I am self-employed and finding it very difficult to obtain a mortgage. Is there any help for people like me who cannot prove income? Any chance lenders are going to loosen their belts?
This is the type of case where a self-certification of income mortgage may have helped in the past. These basically allowed you to declare what your income was, but not force you to prove it via accounts. Lenders are no longer offering these and the FSA has stated very loudly that they are now seeking to outlaw them, so there is little prospect of the loosening you require. The problem here seems to be that abuse of self-cert by some in the past (to artificially over inflate their incomes) has meant that FSA in knee jerk fashion is going to stop anyone using this type of product, even if there is a completely legitimate reason for it - for example if you're 9 months in and don't have any accounts, but can see how things are going.
6. I have a mortgage that is part interest only and part repayment. I am considering making overpayments but wonder if this would all go towards reducing the capital owed or would it somehow go towards paying the interest only part, so not cutting back the capital?
Any overpayments will pay down the amount owed by a corresponding amount. This will reduce the interest charge each month and can save you a lot of money in the long run.
7. I have to re-locate my job or be made redundant. I want permission from my mortgage lender to rent out my property. If they agree, will I get to keep the low tracker rate I'm currently on? (I only have 10% equity in his house, if that makes a difference)
Most lenders will allow this in those circumstances and are obligated to try and help borrowers in situations like this where potential redundancy, rather than plain old choice is the key driver.
8. My husband and I are approaching retirement age and would like an interest only mortgage until one of us dies, then use an equity release scheme to pay part, or all, of the mortgage off. What do you recommend?
Limited choice really. Many lenders are running away from this, not least of all because FSA has made noises about interest only mortgages beyond retirement. One size doesn't fit all and for some where income is in place this would make perfect sense and would be better than interest rolling up compound. Halifax has a scheme for over 65s where they have income and where they will allow the borrower to take an interest only mortgage on up to a 40 year term. Coventry Building Society can look at people up to 85 years of age too, but generally this is an area that has become more difficult in the last year or two - in large part due to regulatory scrutiny from the FSA.
The views expressed are those of Pat Bunton not the BBC.

Small Claims Update
As we noted before on this blog, small claims cases must now be filed in a justice court. The Utah State Courts' Small Claims page has been updated to reflect this change, including providing updated forms and information about where to file.
More information can also be found in the Utah Code at Title 78A, Chapter 8 (Small Claims Courts) and the Utah Rules of Small Claims Procedure.
If you still have questions about the small claims process after reviewing the Small Claims page, consider attending the free Small Claims Basics class, held in the Utah State Law Library every month. To register for the class, contact the Law Library.

I was a math major in college and I have tattoos to prove it. I work in the peninsula and go to work every day on one of those big white shuttles that everyone in SF seems to hate. Once I got off in the mission and had someone boo me. Anyways, i am a reluctant techie, I just kind of fell into it when I moved out here and have been doing it ever since...
For fun I enjoy music. Making it, listening to it, studying it. I also really love nature and try to get out into the wilderness as often as possible, California is kind of great for that, I still haven't seen all of it's mountains (looking at you trinity alps). Also waiting in really long lines at the DMV. Love that.
I like to backpack so I'm pretty good in the wild... Once I went out by myself and had a rattlesnake rattle at me. It was scary but I lived to tell the tale. That night a huge tree fell right into my camp. Now I always watch for dead trees.
I play my piano to the point of obsession and my neighbors haven't killed me in my sleep yet so I guess Im pretty good at that too.
Oh yeah, and the internet. I work in tech so I can get around most (non-windows based) computers pretty well, though I don't feel this is really a defining feature of my person... Sometimes I find the tech-centric nature of (my slice of) the SF social scene a bit much.

A heartless thief stole £500 from his mum and even £1.79 from his little brother's piggy bank to buy drugs.
Cannabis user Stephen Anderson, 20, even pawned three of the seven-year-old lad's DVDs.
He told police he did it as he knew his mum was about to kick him out and he wanted to "go in style".
Anderson also stole a Kindle Fire HD from his mother as well as raiding her bank account, a court heard.
Tim Edgeley, defending, said: "These are distasteful offences."
Anderson, of Wilmslow, Cheshire, admitted theft at Macclesfield magistrates court.
He got three months community service and had to pay £643 compensation.
The district judge said his offences followed a "meltdown in his relationship with his mother".

California council accepts police officer's resignation
A California borough police officer suspended for a month in May is officially off the force.
Terry L. Childs offered no reason for his resignation in the brief letter council accepted during a special session Thursday night. Council and Mayor Casey Durdines were equally noncommittal about the resignation. The resignation, which included a one-week notice when written, was effective Dec. 1.
At the end of the brief meeting, council President Jon Bittner announced the board conducted an executive session Tuesday to "deal with police matters."
When pressed about which officer was discussed, Bittner acknowledged the session concerned Childs. He would provide no further details about the executive session.
Durdines, who oversees the police department, declined to discuss Childs' resignation.
"It is what it is," Durdines said. "We wish him the best of luck."
Childs and Officer Justin Shultz were suspended for a month without pay after they drove to Washington, Pa., to return an unmarked car during a Friday night shift May 3.
The unauthorized trip left the borough with just one available officer. In their absence, a fight broke out outside of Sigz Bistro on Second Street. Police from the Centerville, Charleroi Regional, Donora and East Bethlehem departments ended up being dispatched to the borough.
Thursday night, council was silent on Shultz's status – except to acknowledge he is "off the schedule." No action was taken concerning Shultz's status Thursday night.
Shultz, 29, of Connellsville, was charged this week with misdemeanor counts of official oppression and simple assault.
The charges, filed by California Chief Rick Encapera, stem from an alleged early morning incident Nov. 9 involving Shultz and Adam Logan, 27, of California.
Logan was in custody at the police station around 3 a.m., awaiting arraignment on charges related to an alleged purse-snatching.
Logan was standing in a holding cell, handcuffed behind his back and secured to a bench with a leg shackle, according to an affidavit of probable cause.
Video footage Encapera shared with The Valley Independent this week shows Logan appearing to continuously bicker with Shultz and two other officers as Shultz finished searching the prisoner.
The video shows the three officers leaving the cell with Logan continuing to chatter. It appears Shultz walked back in, grabbed Logan by the throat, pinned him against the wall and shook him twice. Shultz then pulled Logan toward him and slammed him to the bench and floor. Logan appeared to be in what Encapera described as "substantial pain."
On Nov. 18, Logan waived his right to a preliminary hearing on robbery, simple assault and other charges for the alleged purse-snatching. He remains in the Washington County Correctional Facility in lieu of $10,000 bond.
After viewing the video, Encapera said he sent an email to Shultz on Nov. 11 telling him not to come to work. The chief subsequently wrote a letter to Shultz, telling the officer he was off the work schedule.
Thursday night, Bittner said he had "no comment" on Shultz's status.
Durdines said he does not comment on personnel matters.

Best Of :: Shopping & Services
Tucked behind an IHOP on Hallandale Beach Boulevard, Reggae Land Muzik isn't so much a record shop as it is a reggae museum. Meticulously organized crates of hard-to-find vinyl give way to stacks of epic dancehall mix CDs and carefully cataloged cassette tapes. Whether you're looking to venture beyond Bob Marley for the first time or you're an avid collector on the prowl for a Don Carlos release from back in the day, the affable and informed owner who goes by Juicy V or Jah V will be more than happy to weigh in and help you find what you're looking for. "I love this space; I love vibing with my people," Jamaican-born Juicy says. For more than 18 years, he has been slinging riddims both new and vintage from Hallandale, amassing more than 100,000 vinyls in the process. "What you see up-front in the store, that's a teardrop of what I have in stock," he says. Now he's in the tedious process of uploading his collection to the store's website. "In five years, I'll still be uploading 45s."
Millions of years from now, when archaeologists are trying to figure out how we lived circa 2012, they need only unearth the site of the Sawgrass Mills Mall. Our entire culture can be deduced from a Marshalls, a Best Buy Mobile, and a SuperTarget, plus a 23-screen theater with IMAX and some fossilized Chick-fil-A. Although the mall is a legendary draw for tourists — easy to recognize because they're pushing three shopping carts apiece — we locals would go mad and broke if we came here habitually, because the place is so massive that it triggers sensory overload. But once in a great while, when the skies are gray and you've gotten a good night's sleep, come here to shop — and shop hard. While the prices in many shops aren't hugely discounted, you sure as hell can't beat the selection. Among the 350 stores are a TJ Maxx, a Burlington Coat Factory, and a Bed Bath and Beyond — seriously, it's like Sawgrass Mills eats a box store every morning for breakfast. Be strategic. Try not to get sidelined by the tower of gumball machines or the SpongeBob pajama seller, and save your energy for the real deals at Last Call by Neiman Marcus and Nordstrom Rack.
Sincerity is an increasingly endangered species. When someone earnestly tells you to "prepare to rule the world" after performing a few hip-opening stretches, its tempting to roll the eyes or, at the very least, stifle a laugh. But just one muscle-melting session inside this cocoon of a studio will cure that cynical knee jerk. Pick a class — seriously, any class; all of the instructors are fantastic — and see what you've been missing at your atmosphere-free corporate gym. Hot or warm, Vinyasa or raja, easy or seemingly death-defying, this recently expanded space caters to yogis of all ilk. Don't try to fight it: The passion and positivity exuded by the staff and classmates are catching. Just get your ass in the studio, chant a few "oms," and admit that you actually like feeling this good.
Once upon a time, massages seemed like fairy-tale creations available only to Condé Nast-reading, spa-going rich men and their trophy wives. But then a friend tipped us off to this cool studio that puts massage in reach of us little people. Owners Frank Velaz and MaryLou DiNicolas use massage to alleviate real injuries — from accidents, sports, baby-making, stress, and carpal tunnel — so they accept insurance. One arm of the business caters to pregnant ladies whose backs are aching from the baby weight; specially designed massage tables have cutouts that make room for a big belly and two bloated boobies, and MaryLou doubles as a doula. The therapy is not just physical but emotional too. They'll talk like new best friends if you're chatty and need to vent, but if you're jonesing for some quiet time, they'll shut up and let the darkened room and aromatherapy work their healing magic. Thai massage, couples massage, cupping, and yoga classes are all in their repertoire too.
When it comes to finding safe activities for kids, parents are in a major bind these days. What's that, you say? Go to the beach? In this 100-degree heat? Snoogums will get a sunburn. The indoor play place? Those rackets charge $20 a pop. A private babysitter? Sigh... they're probably pedophiles. There is an oasis in this swamp of iniquity. At Calvary Chapel's flagship 75-acre campus in Fort Lauderdale, there's a massive playground with a state-of-the-art seesaw, an athletic field, and an entire skateboarding park. Four on-site eateries include a gourmet restaurant with table service (try the portobello steak; it's divine) and a Starbucks-like coffee shop. Should you want to explore this resort-like paradise sans kids for a while, browse in the bookstore or take a Tae Bo class at the sports complex — or catch the sermon; that's an option too. While you do, young'uns can be dropped off for free childcare. Infants and toddlers play with toys, albeit biblical-themed, in the nursery, and school-aged kids act out plays in the theater. Sure, your precious pumpkin might come home with a little Jesus on his play clothes, but is there really any harm in it? Just make sure the kids don't get too addicted... next, they will be asking you to shell out $2,550 so they can spend spring break with the high school missionary team in Uganda.
The folks who don Statue of Liberty costumes and dance the day away for all the cars on Hallandale Beach Boulevard are so reliable that they should be reference points in local traffic reports. Jesus Abikarram, manager of Liberty Tax Service (get the costume reference?), says he employs a steady flow of dancers on the sidewalk from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. during tax season, rotating them through four-hour shifts. All the dancers have their own approach to get through a shift. One, who wished to remain nameless, was jamming the Bee Gees and lip-synching into a water bottle on a warm March day. "I get a lot of honks and a lot of whistles," he said. "I get a lot of middle fingers too."

LOS ANGELES -- One week after USC announced its home football games against Oregon and Notre Dame in November were sold out, the school announced Thursday that the season opener against unranked Hawaii on Sept. 1 at the 93,607-seat Coliseum was sold out as well.
A limited number of tickets remain for USC's other home games against California, Colorado and Arizona State but those games, according to a school official, are expected to sell out at some point next month.
Normally news of ticket sales and sellouts in college football don't register much of a blip with NFL executives but these numbers should.
With a final vote on the approval of Farmers Field's environmental impact report coming next month and a site for a competing stadium in the City of Industry already shovel ready, the NFL is beginning to look more closely at Los Angeles as an NFL city.
If there were any lingering notions that Los Angeles wasn't a football town or that there was too much to do in the fall to waste a day at the stadium or that this city couldn't support an NFL team, well, those sellouts at the Coliseum this season should put those concerns to rest.
I know what you're thinking. You can't compare USC football to the NFL. USC football has tradition and history and a loyal fan base in Los Angeles that has always been there to support them through thick and thin.
It was impossible to write above sentence with a straight face. Anyone who lives in Los Angeles knows nothing could be further than the truth. Pete Caroll coached his first game at USC in front of a crowd of about 45,000. There were plenty of empty seats during Lane Kiffin's first season as the head coach. USC finally attracted sellout crowds of 93,607 to the Coliseum at the end of last season when they were moving up the polls and playing Stanford and UCLA. They hadn't hit that mark at the Coliseum since Sept. 13, 2008 when No. 1 USC played No. 5 Ohio State.
Now, USC is going to hit that mark for a season-opening game against Hawaii, a team that went 6-7 last season and is expected to finish last or second to last in the Mountain West Conference this season.
What does that mean? It means Los Angeles is hungry for football, but not just any kind of football, good football with big names. As long as USC is a top-ranked team, they don't necessarily need to face top-ranked opponents to sell out games.
Look at the Los Angeles Clippers. After years of playing to a half-empty arena and marketing the opposition to sell tickets, they sold out every game last season for the first time in team history when they paired Chris Paul with Blake Griffin and introduced us to "Lob City."
USC isn't marketing their heritage and selling out games based on what they did in the past. They've plastered the faces of Matt Barkley, T.J. McDonald, Robert Woods, Marqise Lee and Kiffin around town and have allowed those images to speak for themselves. USC will sell out the 93,607-seat Coliseum six (and potentially seven times if they host the Pac-12 championship game) this season based on the merits of this year's team and the excitement that this year's roster is generating.
The threshold for selling out games won't be as high for whatever NFL team moves to Los Angeles compared to USC games as the proposed stadiums in either in downtown or Industry will be configured to seat less than 79,000 (only two stadiums in the league seat more than that number). Plus, whatever team moves to Los Angeles won't just be catering to USC fans, it will cater to the entire city.
Also, the NFL is far more popular than it ever was the last time it was in Los Angeles nearly 20 years ago. You know, before little things like fantasy football, satellite television and the internet changed how we consume the sport daily.
For years the NFL has stated it wants to come back to Los Angeles but only if the conditions are perfect for the league to succeed.
USC's sellout streak at the Coliseum this season will be a simple, indirect message to the NFL and their conditions. This isn't a hard city to figure out. If you put a good product on the field and recognizable faces on the marquee they will show up in droves. If you don't, well, I guess there's always Jacksonville.

By Juliet Eilperin The Washington Post
WASHINGTON — Last year was the hottest on record for the continental United States, shattering the previous mark set in 1998 by a wide margin, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration announced Tuesday.
The average temperature was 55.3 degrees, 1 degree above the previous record and 3.2 degrees more than the 20th-century average. Temperatures were above normal in every month between June 2011 and September 2012, a 16-month stretch that hasn't occurred since the government began keeping such records in 1895.
Federal scientists said that the data were compelling evidence that climate change is affecting weather in the United States and suggest that the nation's weather is likely to be hotter, drier and potentially more extreme than it would have been without the warmer temperatures.
Last year's record temperature is "clearly symptomatic of a changing climate," said Thomas Karl, who directs NOAA's National Climatic Data Center. Americans can now see the sustained warmth over the course of their own lifetimes — "something we haven't seen before." He added, "That doesn't mean every season and every year is going to be breaking all-time records, but you're going to see this with increasing frequency."
Alaska and the Pacific Northwest didn't experience record-setting heat last year; a cool-weather pattern over the Pacific Ocean kept temperatures lower.
Although the new analysis focuses on the United States, it has triggered an intense debate over whether global temperatures will reach dangerous levels by the century's end. In 2009, the world's leaders pledged to keep global temperatures from rising above pre-industrial levels by 2 degrees Celsius, or 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit. Now many academics and policymakers say that goal may be out of reach.
"We have to begin the conversation about cruising past 2 degrees, because we're on course for that," said John Podesta, who chairs the liberal think tank Center for American Progress. "It's hard to contemplate and scary to contemplate, but it has to be addressed at this point."
Vanderbilt Law School professor Michael Vandenbergh said today's leaders will be judged harshly by future generations for not focusing on climate change.
"A hundred years from now, they're not going to be talking about health care or the fiscal cliff," he said. "But they will ask, 'What did you do when we knew we were going to have serious climate change?' "
Joh Christy, who directs the Earth System Science Center at the University of Alabama in Huntsville, said some researchers are exaggerating the severity of the threat. He said that the right climate target is "in the mind of the beholder," given that rising energy demand is a sign that many poor people are struggling "to be lifted out of their current condition."
"No one in Washington can stop that," he said. "And, right now, carbon is the most accessible and affordable way to supply that energy – so CO2 emissions will continue to rise because of the undeniable benefit carbon energy brings to human life."
Last year, the United States experienced several weather events — including extreme storms, a historic drought and wildfires — that many scientists say can be exacerbated by climate change.
Some scientists, however, think it is premature to blame droughts or hurricanes on human-caused warming. Georgia Institute of Technology atmospheric scientist Judith Curry said in an email that the global average temperature for 2012 will not set a record — last year will probably be the ninth warmest. "Natural variability continues to dominate the occurrence of extreme weather events," she said.
Nonetheless, many scientists are worried about rising emissions. The International Energy Agency estimated last month that coal will come close to surpassing oil as the world's top energy source in 2017, when an additional 1.2 billion metric tons will be burned annually. In late November, the World Resources Institute reported there are nearly 1,200 proposed coal plants around the globe, three-quarters of which are planned for China and India.
By Jan. 1 of this year, the Kyoto Protocol was supposed to have cut the world's greenhouse gas output by 5 percent compared with 1990 levels. While the signatories as a whole are likely to meet that target, in part because of the shutdown of Eastern European factories during the 1990s, global carbon emissions overall rose 54 percent during that same period, according to the Global Carbon Project.
As a result, many experts are engaged in a discussion over whether they should continue pressing for ambitious carbon cuts in the near term or adjust their goals in the face of the prospect of a much warmer world.
In 2004, Princeton University professors Robert Socolow and Stephen Pacala wrote an influential paper outlining how the world could stabilize its greenhouse emissions by mid-century through a series of "wedges," using current technology, such as sharply increasing nuclear power worldwide, eliminating deforestation and converting conventional plowing to no-tillage farming.
Now, Socolow has published an article in the Vanderbilt Law Review that he describes as his "let's get real here" lecture, in which he outlines what the world can realistically achieve over the next four decades. Environmentalists "don't think it's time to start the bargaining" on what's an appropriate climate target, Socolow said, but they need to adjust some of their goals in light of the projected temperature rise.
Compromises include capturing and storing carbon from power plants, he added, "since I don't think we can put the fossil fuel industry out of business."
At the same time, some researchers are pushing for much steeper emissions cuts. On Wednesday, the journal Environmental Research Letters will publish a paper showing that although Socolow and Pacala projected emissions could be stabilized by cutting 175 billion tons of carbon emissions over 50 years, accelerating emissions over the past decade mean that it could require more than 500 billion tons of avoided emissions to achieve the same goal.
Steven Davis, a University of California at Irvine earth system science professor and the study's lead author, said he and his colleagues were seeking a "way to describe the magnitude of the challenge" in tackling climate change.
Chris Field, who directs the Carnegie Institution for Science's global ecology department at Stanford University, noted that although it is impossible to say whether the world will be "safe" if it limits the temperature rise to 2 degrees Celsius, he compared it to "the number of flat tires I can tolerate on a road trip in my car."
"With even one flat, there is a risk of a serious accident. But because I am a careful driver, and I have a spare, one is probably OK," he wrote in an email. "With two flats on the trip, I know I don't have a spare for the second one, and I understand that the risk of a serious accident is increased. For more than two flats, things get really messy."
Several activists who track international climate talks identified the next three years as critical, saying negotiators need to forge a new pact by 2015 in order to lock in needed carbon cuts. Alden Meyer, who directs strategy and policy for the Union of Concerned Scientists, said major emitters will not agree to meaningful cuts until they view it as in "their national self-interest."
In the United States, a combination of high temperatures and dry conditions last year took a serious toll on the nation's agricultural sector. NOAA's Karl noted that the Midwest had been relatively wet for several years, which had curbed the impact of warmer temperatures.
In 2012, he said, "both the day and the nighttime temperatures were breaking their all-time records," and that combined with drier conditions amounted to "a double whammy."
The warmest March on record meant vegetation levels were 25 percent higher than normal that month, but many of those crops dried up because 39 percent of the United States experienced severe or extreme drought in 2012.

6 kids, 2 adults killed in W.Va. house blaze
CHARLESTON, West Virginia (AP) – Eight people, including a woman celebrating her 26th birthday and six young children who stayed over for a family slumber party, died Saturday when fire tore through a two-story home while they slept, officials and witnesses said.
A seventh child was on life support after the blaze, the deadliest in West Virginia's capital city in more than 60 years, Charleston Mayor Danny Jones said. The dead children ranged in age from 18 months to 8.
The cause was under investigation, although arson wasn't suspected, Charleston Mayor Danny Jones said. The fire started about 3:30 a.m. on the first floor. Jones said the home had just one working smoke detector; the city required several. A building inspection that had been scheduled for last month didn't happen because only children were home at the time.
A children's picnic table, chairs and an umbrella were overturned in the yard of the home, sitting on a corner in a neighborhood tightly packed with small houses. The outside of the front of the home was blackened by the flames and smoke. Two upstairs windows were shattered and blackened, and what appeared to be an opening for an upstairs air conditioner was stuffed shut with clothes.
Alisha Carter-Camp, who would have been 26 Saturday, was among those killed, Jones said. She had been working as a hotel clerk for six months and told neighbors she planned to get married in June and move to Pittsburgh.
Four of the victims were 3 years old: Jeremiah Camp, Elijah Scott and two children who were only identified by their first name. Keahna Camp, 8, Emanuel Jones, 18 months, and an adult, Alex Seal, were also killed.
Bryan Timothy Camp, 7, was hospitalized in critical condition. One adult survivor, Latasha Jones Isabell, went to the hospital but it wasn't clear if she was treated. Authorities said all the victims were related, but they weren't sure how and didn't know how many lived full-time in the home.
Carter-Camp and her two children were staying with her sister at the home, said Roxie Means, who lives down the street.
The party started Friday afternoon with a cookout and toasts of wine.
"They were nice people drinking a glass of wine," Roxie Means said. "They weren't drunk. They weren't overdoing anything."
Roxie's daughter, 14-year-old Cassie Means, said she noticed lit candles inside the home when she attended the party Friday night.
Roxie Means said Isabell, 24, was smoking a cigarette outside, noticed the fire and came running to Means' home in the middle of the night and started "beating down the door."
The home was engulfed in flames when firefighters arrived. When they went inside, they immediately came across five victims and "started realizing there were a lot of people in this house, a lot of children."
Jones said he was devastated by the news of the fire — the deadliest in the state capital since since seven firefighters perished in while battling a fire at a Woolworth department store in 1949.
"I was with my children and I just grabbed them and hugged them, because I have a 5-year-old and a 4-year-old," he said. "I walked up there and caught a glimpse of some fatalities and it's something that's hard to grasp. The fact that there are (six) dead children, it's unimaginable."
Rusty Eaton, general manager at the Holiday Inn Express Charleston Civic Center, said Carter-Camp was one of his employees. Eaton said he was notified of her death by her mother Saturday morning.
He said Carter-Camp had worked at the hotel's front desk for about six months and also helped audit financial paperwork at night.
A city building inspector had made arrangements with the owner of the house, Deloris Shamblen, to inspect the home on Feb. 28. Carter-Camp had signed a permission slip to inspect the property, but when the inspector arrived, a child answered the door and asked the inspector to come back when an adult was there, Jones said.
"Had we seen the fact that they did not have the proper number of smoke detectors, we might have saved a lot of lives," Jones said.
A telephone message left with Shamblen wasn't immediately returned Saturday.

10 Health Benefits of Soursop
Soursop, the green fruit with the sweet, white pulp is not only known as a delicious fruit staple in the tropics, but as having health and medicinal benefits too. Native to South America and sub-Saharan parts of Africa, soursop is also cultivated throughout Southeast Asia, the Philippines, Indonesia and many parts of the Caribbean. It tends to flower and fruit on a continual basis.
The soursop's heart-shaped, spiky exterior is not appealing in the least, but as they say, don't judge a book by its cover, for this exotic fruit's creamy white pulp is sweet and delicious and its health benefits ample.
While many people prefer to enjoy its sweet taste in a drink or in a creative dessert recipe such as cheesecake or ice cream, this sugary treat also has plenty of natural health benefits when eaten regularly. Some people even believe that soursop may be an effective treatment for cancer; however, there is no scientific evidence to back up those claims.
Packed with B vitamins, vitamin C, Calcium, Iron, and healthy fats and carbohydrates, as well as protein, soursop fruit is also cholesterol free and low in calories, making it an ideal snack. But, be sure not to overdo it—approximately a cup a day is a sufficient amount to obtain the health benefits of this amazing fruit:
Does soursop actually fight and eventually cure cancer as many claims present it? I am considering planting it so I need to be sure I'm in the right direction.
Hi Solomon,
Thanks for your inquiry.
It has not been scientifically proven that soursop fights cancer. You might want to consult a physician.
My uncle has cancer for more than two years already. He did not undergo theraphy or chemo..He has been drinking the sour sop tea from leaves—and he is still alive today

José Cárdenas: The valley is mourning the death of a pioneer of the Arizona Civil Rights Movement. Gustavo Gutierrez passed away earlier this month at the age of 80. Gutierrez, who was inspired by civil rights leader César Chávez and the United Farm Workers Association in California, organized farm workers in Tolleson in 1968 and dedicated his life to improving conditions for farm workers in Arizona. Joining me tonight to talk to Gustavo's life and work are Professor Arturo Rosales, ASU history professor and long-time friend, and José Cortez, also a long-time friend of Gustavo Gutierrez. Part of your academic career has been documenting the lives of Mexican Americans as well as Arizonans.
Arturo Rosales: I've written books on civil rights in the country. In the summer of 1968, we went to the campaign of Robert Kennedy in California. Of course he was assassinated. We came back and we were told you should meet this guy, Gustavo. I was inspired by this guy. I was a student with a lot of aspirations. He didn't go to college; go to graduate school and so forth. Here is this guy just organizing farm workers out of his own pocket. He didn't get a salary. He rented some houses and so forth. I came from a farm worker family. It was a great inspiration to us. I took some farm workers down there with me. 1968 was a pivotal year. That was the year in which Martin Luther King was assassinated, the year of the poor people's march, the year of the high school walk-outs in California that inspired the muey biento throughout the country. That was the year we started mas at the university.
José Cárdenas: I want to come back to talk about some of the significant accomplishments, including the founding. But José you knew Gustavo very early in your life. Tell us about that.
José Cortez: I met him in Tolleson.My parents were migrant farm workers working in Tolleson. He was trying to organize farm workers. Eventually my parents pulled me in, and I got to meet Gustavo. At first I didn't quite understand what was going on, but having lived the life of a migrant farm worker child, everything came easy for me. I was able to understand what he was trying to accomplish. The anger started to come out. Needless to say, I became a product of Gustavo's teaching, and that's where I got my start in activism in learning about the plight of the farm workers. Especially on the west side.
José Cárdenas: professor Rosales, Going back to the impact that he had, you were one of the founders. We've got a picture commend rating the founding that we're putting up on the screen. Tell us about that and the role he played. This is the picture I was talking about, and we've got Gustavo there. He's the person in the middle.
Arturo Rosales: It was founded as a result of the activism; of the students at ASU. I was one of the student leaders at the time. And some community people. Gustavo was a person who always helped us at Arizona state university, the students, and inspired us. He and another organizer were kind of responsible for egging us on in 1968. It was what gave masa its impetus.
José Cárdenas: Which is a student organization.
Arturo Rosales: The Mexican-American organization. Somehow we decided, hey, we've got problems in the community. So maybe with a sense of arrogance, we went out as students and decided we were going to organize, but we needed community people like Jordy Lopez and Terry Lopez and Terry Cruz. And in 1969, we started La Causa.
José Cárdenas: Rosie Lopez was one of those people as well.
Arturo Rosales: Rosie Lopez was part of masa. A lot of us were not from Phoenix. I was from Tucson. We had a lot of mining people at ASU. We made a connection.
José Cárdenas: It led to the creation of what has become one of the largest organizations.
José Cortez: It started out as kind of a Chicano movement type. We organized a high school walk-out. Involved in that were many of the people that today have become leaders. Well, they're getting along in years like Gutierrez and Lopez and others, including Gustavo. I went off to graduate school, and Gustavo was still here.
José Cárdenas: He was always involved in labor organizing.
José Cortez: Yes, he was. Towards the early '90s, he had a little shift. He started to get involved in the issues affecting the indigenous peoples, particularly issues impacting the different tribes throughout the United States. That's when Gustavo became part of an organization that started as the peace and dignities journey in 1992. It was these journeys that Gustavo -- that really consumed Gustavo towards the end. He put all of his energy into what he was doing. Actually during that time during him doing this I kept track of what he was doing, and I was really inspired and motivated, and I said, you know, one day I'm going to really focus all my energy into helping Gustavo with what he's doing.
José Cárdenas: And tell us a little bit about what's involved because it was a major undertaking that you guys were involved in.
José Cortez: The peace and dignity journeys consisted of a journey at one point starting in the northernmost point in Alaska and then the southernmost point. This run takes place where individuals run in one point from the north to the south and meet up in Guatemala. They met up in Guatemala to meet for the ceremony. You're bringing awareness of the plight of the indigenous people and issues impacting different communities. This year we were trying to bring awareness to the fact that water is a life source, that water is important not just to the Native-American community but to the world in general that and water is being polluted. A lot of water is being misused. And therefore we needed to take care of these resources. The prayer was to bring awareness on this issue. As we were traveling, we would go through different villages. Each village would meet us and host us, provide food for us, water, a place to stay. But at the same time it allowed those that were running to feel the energy being generated through this prayer. It's a tremendous, tremendous feeling of spirituality, and this is what actually captured Gustavo is the spirituality of this run.
José Cárdenas: Perhaps it's irony that he died. He died during this last one. His death occurred during one segment of this latest one.
José Cortez: Actually, I was with him the day that he had the accident. The runners had been dropped off at a certain point in the Grand Canyon to run into the village.
José Cárdenas: And he was supposed to go down.
José Cortez: He was supposed to go down, but he couldn't go with us, and he was supposed to take another route, which was easier. He was supposed to go down in the helicopter, but there was no helicopter available, and he decided to ride a horse.
José Cárdenas: And thus the accident.
José Cortez: That's where he had his accident. Those of us that were there realized this was Gustavo's life and that he was immersed in it and he enjoyed it very much.
José Cárdenas: Arturo, How would you assess his place in the pantheon of leaders in Arizona?
Arturo Rosales: It's not surprising to me that he did what he did in his final years, because he never looked for a job, for example. He always did everything without any great personal ambition. To me, that was the characteristic that I first saw in him in 1968. 44 years ago.
José Cárdenas: And that never changed.
Arturo Rosales: And it never changed. I went off to graduate school and became a professor.
José Cárdenas: But you wrote about the movement, and we're delighted you're here to talk about Gustavo and share his memories.
Arturo Rosales: He's a great figure in Arizona history. In national history, but certainly here in Arizona we should never forget him.
José Cárdenas: And I don't think we will. Thank you both so much for joining us.

This is the ABC Therapeutics weblog. We are occupational therapists in Western New York.
More coming soon...
Well it has been ten years!
Sometimes the entries were patient stories. Sometimes they were opinions on professional matters. Sometimes they were analyses and criticisms of the systems we work in. Sometimes the entries were pithy and academic and sometimes they were pedantic and boring.
No matter what it all has been, I hope that I have been faithful to my mission of creating an ongoing experiment in a mostly open-source exploration of occupational therapy. No ads. No bias other than 'just me - ' straight shooting commentary from the hip of a street level practitioner. Sometimes that resonated and sometimes it created enmity - but it is all dialogue and that is something that we all need a lot more of.
No matter what, it seems appropriate to take the opportunity to thank those who have read, debated, agreed, disagreed, pondered, acted, and contributed by commenting or sharing ideas here.
I'll be re-linking some 'blasts from the past' all week as I celebrate this ten year achievement!
Here's to the next ten years!

The Fine Bedding Company asked me if I'd like to try one of their duvets. Couldn't come a moment too soon, ours was on its last legs and was impossible to wash, so I jumped at the chance.
We have a Super King Sized bed, we bought it when Miss L was a toddler purely so we could all get some sleep. But it has made buying bed linen and more importantly a duvet to actually fit the bed. I've had, I think three duvets since we got the bed and although they said they were Super King…well they were lying! They tend to fit the bed exactly with no overlap, that might have caused a few arguments about duvet hogging over the years!
The duvet they sent me was a Spundown washable (yay!) synthetic, 10.5 tog, allergy proof one. The packaging was lovely, nice big zip-able bag. You know me I'm a sucker for nice packaging 🙂 The duvet itself is MASSIVE and is a proper Super King sized, even fits our duvet cover which hasn't happened before. There's a great overhang now all over the bed – my husband is a happy man!
My one misgiving when I opened the package was it's a 10.5 tog and normally because our bedroom is on the cold side we have a 13.5 tog. You know what, it's made no difference, this is much warmer than our old duvet and I've needed a hot water not to once this week. I'm looking forward to washing it in the spring, I don't think that it'll fit in our washing maching but at least it's washable and I can take it down the launderette. Also the bag it came in was so nice I've put our spare guest double duvet in it to store it. Win/win!
So a big hit with us, it's on their website for £80 at 10.5 tog for a Super King, which considering what we've paid before is pretty reasonable.
***Full disclosure I received a duvet for this review****

Right wing blogs are already freaking out in full-on persecuted victim mode, because an early report from ABC News wrongly confused the shooter with another James Holmes in Colorado, who is a Tea Party member.
In response to this incorrect report, for which ABC News apologized soon after, the wingnuts bloggers immediately started digging for evidence that Holmes is connected to the Occupy Wall Street movement.

Spiritual Diplomacy was one of the most popular stories collected in the Hyakumonogatari Kaidenkai, a comprehensive monogatari of popular Kwaidan. [1] This Kaidanshu granted the user skills based upon experience, but not necessarily his own experience. [2]
Tale Edit
Seppun Heian was once a yoriki who oversaw an execution of a bandit ronin, performed by his master, a chief magistrate. Years later, Heian became a magistrate in his own right. He was to oversee an execution, but this time it would be Heian who completed the deed. The man to be slain was once a servant of the same evil bandit lord. The mans anger was so great that Heian was convinced that with his dying breath the dead would return to the living, to accomplish the last intention of the spirit. The bandit vowed to haunt and kill the magistrate and his Lord, but Heian diverted his passion, and manipulated him to shift his desire to bite a stone, because Heian had assured the bandit it was the only way he would be afraid of his desire for vengeance. The bandit died with only one purpose in mind, to bite a stone, and no other vengeance was ever sought. [3]

Bangalore, Oct.15 : Indian fast bowler Zaheer Khan says that his team has taken great confidence from Australia's inability to force a first Test victory.
Khan, who is now in Mohali, Punjab, for the second Test against Australia, yesterday claimed that the Australians lacked the firepower to retain the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
Zaheer, man of the match in the drawn Test with six wickets and a half-century, declared the pressure was on Australia to quickly find an answer or the series would be lost.
The tourists were in control of the Bangalore opener until a first-innings eighth-wicket stand of 80 between Harbhajan Singh and Zaheer late on day three shifted the momentum, with Australia never really recovering.
Buoyed by surviving 73 overs on day five for the loss of just four wickets, India cannot wait for the second Test in Mohali, starting Friday.
"We know that they can't take 20 wickets and they are on the back foot. They couldn't get me and Bhaji out. We are in with a big chance. They are under pressure. We know that," the Daily Telegraph quoted him, as saying.
Zaheer had a crack at the Australians in a press conference and earlier on the field when he accepted his individual award.t was there he also claimed the tourists had been too defensive in the Test, earning a rebuke from Australian captain Ricky Ponting.
"He can have a bit of a chuckle to himself, I don't think it means too much to us," Ponting said.
"This match clearly shows that," he said. "On a fifth-day wicket, the spinners couldn't do us any harm. So that tells everyone what their spin attack is all about. And even the pacers didn't look like getting a wicket at any stage. The pressure is on them to take 20 wickets," Zaheer said.

PASADENA >> A woman was startled by the sound of breaking glass late Thursday before police responded and confirmed an intruder had tried to force his way into her home.
A woman in her 40s heard the noise shortly before midnight at a home in the 600 block of South Grand Avenue, Pasadena police Lt. Jason Clawson said.
She immediately called the police, who responded and searched the home, he said. Officers found that a window on the house's rear door had been smashed.
Nothing was found missing, and it did not appear the would-be burglar made it into the home, Clawson said. Police searched the area with the help of a helicopter, however no suspect was found.

Federal Mine Agency Strengthens Oversight and Accountability Systems
Publishes Internal Review on Alabama Mine Explosions
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - The Mine Safety and Health Administration is correcting weaknesses in its management system following an internal review into the agency's actions prior to the September 2001 mine explosions at Jim Walter Resources No. 5 Mine near Brookwood, Assistant Secretary of Labor for Mine Safety and Health Dave D. Lauriski announced today.
"The purpose of an internal review is to examine MSHA's internal management system, to determine how the agency can do a better job," Lauriski said. "A better-managed agency translates to improved safety and health in the mining industry. Our aim is to make safety a value throughout the mining industry. In short, we want every miner to go home safe and healthy at the end of every shift."
Lauriski said that as a result of the review, MSHA is strengthening its management accountability system nationwide. "The existing system for accountability reviews focused on administrative evaluations and lacks follow-up measures," Lauriski said. "The new system will streamline the process so that corrective actions prompted by our reviews will be made quickly and efficiently. The focus of all our work is to enhance miner safety and health, and taking this step will allow us to measure ourselves on a regular basis."
Lauriski said that other steps that have been taken or are being taken as a result of the internal review include:
- A nationwide mentoring program for new inspectors and supervisors;
- Revisions in the agency's inspection manual;
- Improving information technology systems to track violations more effectively;
- Additional training for enforcement personnel on appropriate levels of enforcement; and
- Increased management oversight at the district and national levels.
On Sept. 23, 2001, a double explosion claimed 13 lives at Jim Walter Resources' No. 5 Mine. MSHA investigators determined that the explosions resulted from Jim Walter Resources' failure to follow federal safety standards. They also found that most of the victims were in harm's way because of poor emergency management.

Ripoff Report
LADY OF AMERICA FITNESS CLUB10755 Sw 72nd St miami, Florida USA
LADY OF AMERICA FITNESS CLUB AKA LADY OF AMERICA; LOA RIPS OFF SENIOR CITIZENS; IMPOSSIBLE TO SPEAK TO MANAGEMENT; SCAM ARTISTS! miami Florida
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
My mother is 60 years old, and barely speaks English. Her doctor recommended walking every night to help with her poor circulation. She doesn't like walking around the neighborhood, so I suggested a gym.
She visits the Lady of America location on 10755 Sw 72nd St in Miami, and explains her fitness goals to a seemingly nice girl. My mom asserts that she does NOT want a contract membership, as she isn't sure how often she will be able to make it to the gym. The sales rep mentions that a NO CONTRACT membership is a little pricier, and my mom agrees to the pricier option, as she DID NOT want a commitment. The girl asks her to sign a document, and since my mom barely speaks English, and has a hard time reading small print, the girl translates "This is your EFT form, we will use this as authorization for monthly dues." My mom asks again.... "THIS IS NOT A CONTRACT?" The girl affirms that it is not.
My mom attends the gym for about a month or so, and faints during one of her gym sessions. For medical reasons, she decides to stop going. She ends up paying the membership for several additional months.
She cancels the contract, and months later receives a letter from a collections agency. Wait...WHAT? NO CONTRACT? The collection agency is harrasing and verbally abusive (of course). She explains the situation and they respond with "tell it to the judge." Mom ends up with high blood pressure and spends the rest of the day in bed because her meds wear her down.
I call the gym to get some insight, since I am my mother's POA. I ask for a manager. "One moment"....LONG HOLD. "This is Yas (I don't remember the name very well)." I ask if the gym is independently owned or managed by a specific district manager. The lady responds "why do you ask?" I respond that I need that information in case she can't assist me. I explain my mom's situation, the lady hangs up on me three times, and cutting me off mid-sentence trying to talk over me each time I called back. She tells me she "doesn't have time for me" and hangs up.
I visit the gym in person and she yells "I HAVE NOTHING TO SAY TO YOU." I tell her I just need her to write her name and her manager's name for me so I can settle my concerns with them. She tells me "I DONT HAVE TO GIVE YOU ANYTHING! LEAVE MY ESTABLISHMENT!" Again, I mention that all I need is her managers name. She repeats for me to leave. Then she yells out "YOUR MOTHER IS IN COLLECTIONS, AND YOU ARE NOT A MEMBER OF THIS GYM! LEAVE!" Yeah, because the WHOLEEEE gym needs to know that my mother is in collections because of THEM!
I researched the company, and it looks like people all over the nation are having the same issues. Unethical practices, misleading clients, and rude unprofessional staff.
