I was wondering if anyone out there knew anything about these old certificates. We found them when we were cleaning out my husbands basement in his moms house. For some reason they're not signed. Im not sure if thats a good thing or a bad thing. This is just some of the things I collect!

BROTHER and sister Mark Sturley and Deborah Collins have been forced to repay more than £15,000 of benefits following a fraud investigation.
At Swindon magistrates court, Collins, 43, of Snowhill Close, pleaded guilty to fraud by false representation and failure to disclose information to make a gain. Sturley, 46, of Copse Avenue, pleaded guilty to five counts of fraud by false representation.
The court heard how Collins had been in receipt of lone parent benefits despite owning two properties and receiving a student loan, while Sturley had been living as a tenant under her roof since 2008 while claiming housing benefits.
Keith Bellinger, prosecuting, said: "Collins made a claim in 2010 for being a lone parent. She disclosed a financial interest in the form to the marital home but said her estranged husband was living at that address.
"It transpired she was doing undisclosed work and was in receipt of a student bursary. During the course of the investigation it was discovered that jointly with her husband she had owned a second property and rented out rooms to tenants at the address at Kelly Gardens, including renting a room to her brother, Mr Sturley.
"They also obtained information from the student loans office of student loan and grants being awarded to her, being paid directly into her bank account.
"As a result of her own claims for housing benefit the total loss to the public funds was £3,877.48.
"Sturley was renting a room at the address at Kelly Gardens. He made his claim for housing benefit in 2008 on the basis of having no money to pay rent. In his claim form he stated he was not related to the landlord, Mr Collins.
"Following fraud investigations it emerged his landlord was his sister. As a result of his claims £11,712.95 was made in overpayment."
Emma Thacker, defending Collins, said her 10-year marriage had broken down in 2009, at which point she applied for benefits.
"She was of the understanding that because she recieved no benefit from the second property that it was of no interest to her," she said.
"They had just broken up, emotions were running high and she was very distressed. She signed a document she believed would remove her from any obligation to the property. She was still on the deeds, still had an interest in the property, and should have disclosed that.
"A student loan was applied for and granted in 2011 when she enrolled at Oxford Brookes University for a course in education.
"This is a lady simply trying to better herself and who made large errors along the way. The money has been repaid in full and she is a lady of good character."
Philip Hall, defending Sturley, said: "He has been in and out of bankruptcy, and it has never been doubted that he was entitled to benefit. When that happens you have potential eligibility for parasitic benefits, including housing benefit.
"He was asked questions about this, one of which was, 'Are you related to your landlord?' He answered, 'No'.
"He gave the name of his sister's husband. I am a pedant, and if someone asks if my brother-in-law is related to me I would say no.
"My advice to anyone in such circumstances is to tell them absolutely everything you can think of. Because the one thing you deemed to be irrelevant is the one thing that could land you in trouble."
Collins was ordered to pay £300 in fines, a victim surcharge of £20 and court costs of £85. Sturley was fined £500 and ordered to pay a £15 victim surcharge and £85 court costs. The £15,590.43 taken in benefits has been repaid in full.

S@squ@tch's Against the Giants - Team Black
In a dark underground meeting room:
Dispatch the agents we must know if it is true. A heavily robed figure says to the assembled group of shadowy figures.
At once, master.
The room quickly empties, leaving the robed figure to ponder their next move.
City of Sharn:
You have received word that House Medani and House Tharashk are seeking volunteers to help them out with a problem that has arisen in Xendrik.
Various leaflets and posters have been posted all through Sharn, and they have attracted your attention.
You are to be at the House Medani enclave in the city of Sharn on the morning of 20 Zarantyr 999 at sunrise.
That was two weeks ago.
You awaken well before sunrise on the 20th, somewhat excited about the prospect of a new challenge, and also interested to see what the two great houses need from outsiders for it seemed to be a somewhat uncommon event first, for Tharashk and Medani to be working together, and second, to want the services of non-house members.
After hurriedly assembling your gear, you depart for the enclave in the heart of the city, bidding adieu to your landlord, as you honestly do not know if you will be back to your room today, or in several months.
The morning fog is thick, and as you ascend higher into the city, it becomes thicker and thicker, reducing your visibility remarkedly. You could have sworn that you saw something small with wings out of the corner of your eyes, but when you stopped and looked, you did not see anything. You begin to think you are lost, when you see the familiar shadow of the building before you.
The enclave rises out of the mist majestically the ornately carved features and the gold-inlaid coat of arms of the House Medani comes into view.
Two half-elves, clad in silver chain shirts and holding staves, stand watch at the main gates, and you see 6 others, of all races and sizes, already there before you.
As you arrive, the morning sun peeks out for a split second from behind the mist, before disappearing once again.
The half-elves nod to one another and then motion to you.
Welcome. We have been expecting you, so please to be following us. Also, be aware that outside magic is not allowed within the doors of our enclave.
The one on the left beckons for you to follow, and the doors behind him begin to swing open of their own accord it seems.
You follow the first half-elf, and notice the second fall in behind the last of the group.
You are lead through the entryway of the outer bailey of the enclave, past a reflecting pond, and into a large meeting room.
In the center of the room is a large wooden table, seemingly crafted out of one large tree some 6 across and 20 long. The natural grain runs the length of the table, two polished tree trunks give support to table.
On a side table, are pitchers of various juices, along with platters filled with various breakfast meats and breads.
Please have a seat, Bendis will be with your shortly.
About five minutes elapse, and a young-looking half-elf in robes appears through a door opposite the one you came in. He is followed by a middle-aged human, dressed in a shining breastplate with a cloak, with the coat of arms of House Tharashk emblazoned on the clip, around his neck.
Good morning, and thank you for coming My name is Bendis, Bendis Aldarn dMedani, and this is Darvir, of House Tharashk.
Darvir gives a slight nod at Yoggrith when he sees him.
YoggrithYou know of Darvir and have great respect for his leadership in the House, but have not worked personally with him in the past
You are aware of the information presented on the fliers we are in need of a group to discover what is happening on the southern continent of Xendrik.
The native giants have become aggressive and coordinated war parties of Hill, Frost, and Fire have been spotted together something that has not occurred in the past, and has put the harvesting of dragonshards well behind schedule for House Tharashk." Bendis traces his fingers through the air, bringing an image of dragonshards into view before you.
He continues, "They have even lost two groups that were dispatched in a search-and-rescue capacity these groups were among their elite forces.
He pauses.
"House Tharashk wishes the remains of their fallen found."
Our seers have been receiving more and more visions of giants as well, of all kinds -- cloud, storm, stone, along with the others, but have been unable to make sense of them at this point. They have also seen scorpions..."
We have procured an airship, the Precarious Retreat, from House Lyrander, to take you to the southern city of Stormreach it is the main port of entry into Xendrik. The travel itself should take 3 days. Once in Stormreach, you are to go to the Tharashk enclave, where Darvir's brother, Barvidor, will be waiting for you. He will give you more up to date recon and information about where the groups were when they were attacked and put down. They will be sending along a few support personnel along with you.
You know of the Precarious Retreat -- it is a small vessel by Lyranderian Airship standards, but the captain is competent and respected. His name is Dalwir Alden d'Lyrander, you have met, and worked with, him before. You are envious of his post as captain of the ship, for he is not as skilled as you, but is very well connected within the house.
Darvir remains silent next to the Medani wizard, looking over each of you, as if trying to determine if you stand a chance at being successful.
You will be paid handsomely if you are able to determine what is coordinating the giants attacks, along with letters of credit for House services from Medani and Tharashk.
Please keep in mind that our seers have detected the presence of the Emerald Claw in their visions. Be vigilant to their machinations.
Now, if you do not have any questions, I will dispatch you to the services of my nephew, Vortan, who will escort you to the airfield.
"I wish you success and luck."

Research to Remember
A Magee Women's Research Institute study was undertaken to determine the degree of antibiotic resistance after women used either clindamycin or metronidazole to treat bacteria vaginosis, a common infection that affects as many as 50% of women in some populations. The 99 women aged 18 to 45 who took part in the study were tested for concentrations of vaginal microbes before and after a course of treatment using either antibiotic. Ten different groups of bacteria were examined. Results of the study showed that women treated with clindamycin had more-frequent increases in bacterial concentrations of E. coli than those who were treated with metronidazole. Fewer than 1% of bacteria samples showed resistance to metronidazole, whereas resistance to clindamycin was 12% baseline and 53% after treatment with the drug. Resistant bacteria persisted at a rate as high as 80% for as long as 90 days after treatment with clindamycin. Increased colonization of protective lactobacillus bacteria increased during the first week after treatment with metronidazole.

Effects of Mercury Administered during Pregnancy
A reader named "Donna" contacted Midwifery Today E-News with an informal study she conducted of mothers who were "injected" with mercury while pregnant. She started with her own story:
I had RhoGAM when I was six months pregnant. My son has progressive microcephaly, CP, lennox gastaut (severe seizures), is nonverbal and profoundly mentally retarded. I had his six-month-old baby hair tested for mercury; the results showed 13.78 mcg. The only exposure to mercury was from my RhoGAM and his vaccines. A new study of amount of heavy metals in vaccines showed one that contained nine times more aluminum. There is no telling how much mercury was in the RhoGAM injections I had. The older RhoGAM contained 35 mcg of mercury. We are told to limit "ingesting" mercury to 0.1 mcg. What should the number be for "injecting" it?
At a DAN! conference 53.7% of the mothers present who had ASD children were Rh negative. Other studies show 37% of ASD children have Rh-neg. mothers, although the incidence of RH neg. is estimated at only 3% to 7% of the female population.
In the past, RH-neg. mothers were not given the RhoGAM shot until after the baby was born, but now RH neg. mothers often receive the shot between the 16th to 20th week. Most RH shots contain thimerosal.
— Donna
RhoGAM, a human gamma globulin, is administered against the Rh positive factor of blood; it is given to Rh-negative mothers who birth Rh-positive babies. It is administered to prevent the mothers from becoming sensitized to the baby's Rh-positive blood. If she is sensitized, her immune system may destroy the red blood cells of a subsequent child.
The risk of hemolytic disease of the newborn (HDN) in a subsequent child if the mother receives RhoGAM after the baby's birth is approximately 1% to 2%. If RhoGAM is administered during pregnancy, the risk is reduced by less than 1%.
Hair analysis of unvaccinated children born to mothers who received a RhoGAM injection during pregnancy indicate the presence of mercury in their system that results from the mercury-derived preservative in RhoGAM called thimerosol. Elevated mercury levels can dispose the children to serious neurological compromise. Until 2001, each RhoGAM injection typically contained 25 micrograms of mercury.
Indications for an Rh-negative pregnant woman to receive a larger dose of RhoGAM include fetal-maternal hemorrhage early in pregnancy, a fetal-maternal hemorrhage greater than 15 mL of Rh-positive red cells and an Rh-positive transfusion. Total dosage of mercury can be calculated by multiplying the number of injections by 10.5 micrograms.
Mothers have the option of demanding a mercury-free RhoGAM product. Such a product is available from Bayer Pharmaceuticals; the product is called BayRoh-D. The product has been available since 1996. WinRho SDF, made by the Cangene Corp., is a freeze-dried product that contains no preservatives.

Question of the Week
Q: What do you do when you don't have a last menstrual period to track the conception date? I had a tubal pregnancy. After a D&C it was determined that I would need either tubal surgery or Methotrexate. I chose Methotrexate because I didn't want to have part of my tube removed. Subsequent to the Methotrexate, I was getting blood samples taken to confirm that the HCG levels were going down, and they were.
While waiting for my period so that I could start oral contraceptives, the condom broke, and I've been waiting for my period. It's late—I think. I was just getting my cycle back from 10 months breastfeeding so it wasn't regular. If I'm pregnant, what do I do? How can I determine my due date?

Question of the Week Responses
Regarding postpartum acne [Issue 6:23]:
Q: While experiencing adult acne with many exacerbations due to hormonal changes, (though mine personally did not include during pregnancy), I found that a set of products sold in an infomercial actually worked. I will not use the name, but there is usually a celebrity who opens the commercial, and the set includes a cleansing lotion, toner and repairing lotion. After years of struggle, my skin is completely clear. It is less of an expense than it might seem, as the products last a long time. Not much is needed per use to be effective.
— Debbie
A: A friend of mine is a clinical herbalist and had been working with a pregnant mom suffering from acne during her pregnancy. He makes a syrup that includes vitex, which helps with hormonal imbalance. Within a few weeks of using this syrup, her acne had cleared up. The product is called Mama's Morning Vitex (I think).
— Lisbeth Eyrich-Fischer
Regarding excessive postpartum bleeding [Issue 6:23]:
A: I am a mother of seven and a midwife. I took Nature's Sunshine liquid chlorophyll during the whole pregnancy, during labor, and after the birth, faithfully. I doubled the suggested dose—at least. I always bleed after and sometimes before the placenta. Not this time—even with my 10-pound baby! I have several clients with previous bleeding history take this stuff as I did and so far not one had a bad bleed! It's not scientific, I know, but it has worked for me and my clients. It has also significantly helped the ladies with bad veins.
— Kim
A: I had excessive bleeding with my first three births, ranging anywhere from 500 to 1000 milliliters of blood loss. I received Pitocin several hours following my second birth because of continued blood loss. Early in my fourth pregnancy a midwife at a BirthWorks conference told me that in her birth center they had been studying the effects of delayed cord clamping. An unexpected result was that the longer the cord was left unclamped, the less blood the mothers lost. She claimed that if cord clamping was delayed until after the placenta delivered, the mothers did not bleed at all. I was skeptical but support delayed cord clamping because of benefits to the newborn (www.cordclamping.com). At my first three births the cord had been clamped earlier than I would have liked.
With my fourth birth I was adamant about waiting for the placenta, even though it took 30 minutes. Almost immediately after the birth my midwife wanted to cut the cord because my baby wasn't breathing and she wanted to give him oxygen. I've since learned that delayed breathing is normal because the baby is still exchanging gasses through the cord, particularly in waterbirths like mine where the cord is in warm water rather than cold air (and it was 80 degrees in the room). I refused, insisting that she bring the oxygen to the baby, not the baby to the oxygen. And true to what that midwife had told me, I had *no bleeding* prior to delivery of the placenta. My lochia was significantly lighter than it had ever been, and stopped sooner. I'm a huge fan of delayed cord clamping now.
— Jenn Riedy, BCCE, CPS
Regarding posterior position [ongoing discussion]:
A: Some babies turn, others don't. The Pink Kit Method for birthing better (www.birthingbetter.com) gives us, pregnant women and our partners, the ways to relax our internal soft tissue and keep our pelvis mobile, particularly the sacrum. All the information in the resources comes from us, pregnant women and our partners, and is time tested for more than 30 years. Posterior babies have not been a problem when we know how to "map our pelvis," keep ourselves in positions that keep us open, learn to use the pelvic clock, hip lift, Kate's Cat, sit bone spread and most important…have done the internal work. What we need is a change in focus. Instead of just trying to change something, we can work with what we have. We can only do this by taking the responsibility of preparing ourselves. We need you, as midwives, to tell us we need to physically prepare for childbirth by knowing our birthing body. As stupid as it might sound, birth is an exercise in plumbing. Object must come out of container through tube, diaphragm must open and then aperture. Each pregnant woman can learn, as we have, to know her container and how to work through the process. Posterior babies have not been a problem.

Radical Midwives' Homepage—http://www.radmid.demon.co.uk/
In women with breech presentation at term, elective cesarean may not reduce the risk of death or neurodevelopmental delay in the resulting infants at 2 years of age, study findings indicate.
"Some analyses of observational studies have found that delivery by elective cesarean reduces the risk of long-term adverse outcomes for children born at term in breech presentation," note Hilary Whyte (Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, Canada) and colleagues.
To investigate further, they followed up 923 such infants to at least two years of age, when they screened them for abnormalities with the Ages and Stages Questionnaire. Those children who scored abnormally on this questionnaire underwent a neurodevelopmental assessment.
The researchers found that the risk of death or neurodevelopmental delay at this time point in children delivered by elective cesarean (3.1%) was not statistically different from that for children delivered by planned vaginal birth (2.8%).
This result was unexpected as it contrasted with their earlier report that documented "a marked reduction" in the incidence of perinatal and neonatal death and serious neonatal morbidity with a policy of planned cesarean birth. "One reason for the lack of effect may have been that our study was underpowered," the authors suggest.
— Amy V. Haas, BCCE
My son was diagnosed with cerebral palsey at 14 months. He was born at 41 weeks by c-section because he was frank breech. When the doctor tried to pull him out he startled the baby, so on the way out his head and shoulder got stuck. The doctor used incredible force with his hands. Both my husband and I were in shock. At last he cut me more in order to get the baby out. I was incredibly sore even with all the morphine; to this day I can remember my left side throbbing like crazy. My son went home with me; he breastfed and although he had had a rough birth he seemed to be fine. His records show, however, that he had been a very floppy baby. I have always been suspicious that his injury was in his neck, but MRI to the brain and spine showed nothing. I believe he was injured at the spine because of his ability to do so much from his neck up. His speech is intact; in fact it came very early. His movement from the neck up—his tongue and facial expressions—indicated to me that his injury had to be at the neck and not in the brain, as doctors suggest.
Recently I read on the Midwifery Today Web site that doctors can injure babies through the incision. This is what I had always suspected but never had read about before. The article also suggests that babies who are breech already are more likely to develop some kind of problem. I wonder if you can point me in the right direction where I can do more research about birth. I would really like to know how my baby got hurt.

I received the following request: "I am Japanese childbirth educator Ritsuko Toda. I [would like to] ask a great favor. Through a friend, I have seen two photos titled "Baby in Museum." The image is beyond words! I instantly fell in love with them and hoped that the photos could appear in the book which I am working on at the moment. Do you know how I can get in touch with the person who took the photos so that I can obtain permission for using them in my book?"
I remember seeing this photo—someone had sent it to me in an e-mail, but I no longer have it, and I can't remember who sent it to me. If any of you have seen this photo (it's a baby reaching out to the breast on a sculpture of a naked woman) and know how Ms. Toda can reach the photographer to ask permission to use it in her book, please send me an e-mail: email@example.com or you may write directly to her: firstname.lastname@example.com
Thanks for your help.

Couple of 870 Questions
I just picked up an 870 which needs some TLC. I paid $150 for it so I don't mind spending a little to get it right.
The first issue is the magazine retainer. It's the newer plastic style. I prefer the older metal retainer. If I flatten out the dimples in the tube, can I run the older style without any problem? I noticed the barrel doesn't have the catches for the metal ball detent style cap the old ones used (this one doesn't have the ball detent in the cap). I did some searching but can't see what or if there's a solution to this?
Also, the vent. rib has a nice dent in one section. Is the steel soft enough to work it back out or should I just leave it as-is?

Actually, you don't NEED any retainer, if you don't mind having to keep the spring from sproinging all over the place. Frankenstein, my parts 870, is kept thus. It's my waterfowler and cleaning the magazine tube is imperative after a salt marsh trip.
Lots of folks drill out the dimples, or knock them out,mostly to mount extensions. While I refer the old style system,also, switching isn't worth the hassle. I think you'll learn to live with it PDQ.
As for the dent in the rib, Brownell's sells hard, non marring wedges to fix that. Most smiths, if you can find one these days, do so for a small fee...

As for the metal ball, if I understand what you are saying, some barrel lugs come with a hole drilled on the distal face of the lug. It doesn't go through the lug but is deep enough to accept a spring and a little ball, which are kept in place with a $12 staking tool. The ball catches on little notches on the corresponding face of the magazine cap. This is what comes on my old style 7 shot short barrel model.
Some barrels that don't have the spring and ball are nevertheless drilled to accept them. Some aren't drilled. I believe, but it may have changed, not long ago it was a $25 additional charge to order a barrel from the factory with the ball and spring inserted and staked.
Nothing keeps the magazine spring from flying out when the cap is removed.
If you want to use a barrel without a ball detent, get a 3 pack of wave washers from Brownells. You need to use one to keep the magazine cap from backing off.

New York City Mervyn's Holdings LLC has sued its former private-equity owners, saying the firms stripped out real estate then leased it back to Mervyn's at higher rates, pushing it into bankruptcy, according to a Reuters report.
Mervyn's was purchased in 2004 by a group of investors including Cerberus Capital Management and Sun Capital Partners. The deal forced Mervyn's to transfer nearly all of its real estate assets to a newly formed entity.
As a result, Mervyn's had to pay rents for locations that, before the deal, it had either owned or leased at rates that were often below market rates, the report said, citing documents filed at the bankruptcy court in Delaware.
"By separating Mervyn's real-estate assets from its retail operations, the private-equity players made sure that any residual value or upside in the real estate assets were reserved for themselves and not for Mervyn's," according to the documents. "The 2004 transaction is a transaction that ultimately led to Mervyn's bankruptcy and is a fraudulent transfer that cannot withstand scrutiny."
When Mervyn's filed for bankruptcy in July, it had 177 stores in seven states, employed about 18,000 people and had annual revenue of about $2.5 billion. The company has so far announced plans to close 26 stores and cut about 1,700 workers as part of a restructuring plan.

You have ruined my life: Pitt rave girl
The young woman at the centre of allegations stemming from a summer rave in Pitt Meadows shared her story for the first time Wednesday to packed courtroom, recounting a night she claims she barely remembers.
Choking back tears during a sentencing hearing in Port Coquitlam Provincial Court, the girl told Dennis John Allen Warrington he had ruined her life.
"Dennis can tell this courtroom, your family and your lawyer 100 times that you are sorry for what you did and you can apologize to me but I don't believe you are sorry for one second," said the girl, in a voice flush with rage.
"You are not sorry for what you did. You are just sorry you got caught."
Originally charged with more serious offence of possessing and distributing child pornography, Warrington pleaded guilty in December to a lesser count of distributing obscene material for posting three photographs of the girl on Facebook.
The photographs were graphic, close-ups of a couple having sex - the faces of the girl and boy obscured.
The Sept. 10, 2010 party held at a farm on Harris Road, dubbed Another Night in Bangkok, drew hundreds of teens and young adults.
Sixteen at the time, the young woman went to the rave with a group of friends.
"Just like everyone else at the party, we did bring alcohol," she said, but noted she didn't plan on getting very drunk that night because she wanted to "stay responsible" for her friends.
The teens even picked a spot outside the barn where they would meet should anyone get lost in the crowd.
"I was having the time of my life, hanging out with my friends, dancing, singing and laughing," she told the court.
She was offered Ecstasy but turned the offer down because "drugs were never her thing."
For some reason however the teen accepted a drink from a stranger - a decision she continues to regret to this day.
Her memory fades within minutes of downing the drink.
She told the court she has no recollection of meeting Colton McMorris, the 18-year-old who had sex with her that night and was eventually charged with rape.
Charges against him were stayed a year ago because there was not enough evidence for a conviction. McMorris still maintains the sex was consensual.
"The next few things that I can remember are the fuzziest weirdest memories I've ever had," said the girl.
"They are not even solid memories. They are fragments."
She remembers a light in her face, most likely a memory of a torch that was used to illuminate the couple while they had sex in a field near the barn and a crowd of more than a dozen people watched them, some snapping pictures.
She did not remember leaving the rave with McMorris or going to McDonald's with him and her friends.
She did not remember getting into a taxi but has a vague recollection of being in a moving car with a bunch of people.
The girl woke up the next day in a friend's house, dishevelled and groggy.
"I have never felt so weird after waking up after a night of partying," she told the court.
"I felt awful."
When she checked her Facebook page, she was already being inundated with messages, asking if she was "that" girl at the party.
Her friends soon confirmed that there were photographs of her having sex being shared on Facebook and via text messages.
"My heart sank and I knew it must be me. With all the messages I'd been getting and the condition of my body, I put two and two together."
When she got home, she spent the day crying while scanning Facebook with its vicious, nasty comments.
She told the court her friends tried, with little success, to get Warrington and the teen who took the photos to take them down.
The next day, a very close friend of the girl forced her to go to hospital where she was examined by a sexual assault nurse.
That night, she mustered the courage to tell her mother what little she remembered of the night.
Her parents urged her to call police but she refused.
The next day however police were at her house because an anonymous person had complained about the pornographic images on Facebook.
The girl blamed Warrington for allowing those photographs to go viral.
"What happened that night should have stayed between the people involved and dealt with privately," she said.
"But because you made the decision to make these photos public, everyone from one end of town to the other has seen these disgusting and disconcerting pictures of the incident. That should never have happened."
RCMP held a press conference a week after the rave where they begged people to stop sharing the photographs and threatened to charge those who did with distributing child pornography.
The abuse and torment however has yet to abate on social media.
The court heard that although Warrington had spoken with police, a month after the rave, he posted a rap song on his Facebook page that mimicked the Eminem song Lose Yourself.
On Twitter and Facebook, his friends continue to name and threaten the girl, whose identity is protected by a publication ban.
"Honestly, it's like being tortured on a daily basis and I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy," the girl said.
"People say that it will get better and that the pain will go away but it's been two years and it still kills me."
The bullying that followed caused the girl to drop out of high school. To this day, she suffers from panic attacks and anxiety. She even turned to drugs and thought about killing herself.
"The word rage isn't even strong enough for my feelings towards you," the girl told Warrington.
"Your actions were immoral, immature and just plain right stupid."
The girl's mother and father also read their victim impact statements, with both describing how
devastating the events have been for their family.
"My family name has been attacked, slander and used for the enjoyment and entertainment of sick individuals who continue to attack my daughter," said the father.
"As a father, I am meant to protect my family. Clearly I feel helpless in carrying this out."
The girl's mother told her court a friend of Warrington had wished he could kill her daughter with his bare hands on Twitter. She noted her daughter's name is all over the Internet and will surface in connection with the rave every time it's Googled.
"I thank God everyday that my daughter has the strength to endure all the bullying she's been subject to because of Dennis Warrington's nonchalant, malicious actions," said the mother.
"If this had happened to your sister or mother, would you have posted those pictures? The Internet is a lawless society and people think they can do what they want."
The mother hoped that people will now think twice about posting on things that hurt others on the Internet.
"Dennis Warrington has to be held accountable for this, an example has to be made so that others will not do the same and destroy more lives," she added.
Crown prosecutor Wendy van Tongeren Harvey is seeking a suspended sentence for Warrington and a 12-month probation period with strict conditions that include abstaining from alcohol and drugs as well as 120 hours of community service.
Crown stressed that the photos he shared are still classified as child pornography under the law.
Van Tongeren Harvey told the judge although Warrington claims he was "told" to share the photos by friends, his motive for posting them was "narcissistic."
"He was seeking to entertain himself and his friends at the expense of others," said van Tongeren Harvey, adding that Crown was being lenient in its request for a suspended sentence.
Warrington's lawyer Marvin Stern is seeking a conditional discharge for his client.
A conditional discharge would mean Warrington won't have a criminal record.
Warrington, 21, apologized in court for his actions and acknowledged what he did was "thoughtless and supremely immature".
"To think that just the thoughtless push of a button could change so many outcomes is hard to believe and yet so easily overlooked until the consequences surface," he said.
"It was all too easy to upload and share something that wasn't mine to share.
Just a few clicks and it changed your life and how the world viewed the person you are."
But Warrington did not grasp the gravity of his actions months after the rave. He breached his bail conditions twice by drinking.
During the second breach, he fought with police and refused a breathalyzer.
That breach resulted in the young man spending three days inside the North Fraser Pre-trial Centre, with seasoned criminals who thought he was a sex offender.
He was threatened and a tray of food was thrown at him.
Extremely frightening, his experience in prison was the impetus for changing his behaviour.
For the past year, Warrington has complied with bail conditions and matured.
"I hope I can convey how truly sorry I am," Warrington told the court.
"All I can do is try to change who I am because of it, to change how I approach any situation with thought and justification so I can avoid making mistakes that might cause anyone pain in the future. I hope that one day you are able to forgive my actions..."
After Warrington apologized, the girl texted Crown saying she appreciated it.
Judge Shehni Dossa will sentence Warrington on March 4.

I love the Brit mysteries / procedurals....downloaded 3 seasons of Touching Evil (late 90s) and 6 seasons of Wire in the Blood (early 2000s), both starring Robson Green.
Most excellent. Good whodunits, particularly the Wire in the Blood series. Mind you, one season here equals about 6 hours of show. Eight 45 minute installments, paired, so there are four 1 1/2 hour episodes. A couple of the seasons were longer.
I'm currently downloading all seasons and 2 movies of The Sweeney, which apparently was the Brit flagship of cop shows. It starred the guy who played Inspector Morse on the BBC / PBS series, in his younger days.

Doctors in one study said that older people may needlessly have poor quality of life due to undiagnosed depression.
In the study, 46 depressed women, aged 66 to 95, took 1,670 mg of EPA plus 830 mg of DHA per day or a placebo.
After eight weeks, compared to placebo, the omega-3 group had far fewer depressive symptoms, as well as better self-reported physical and mental well being. The women faithfully took their daily dose of omega-3s, doctors said, because blood levels of omega-3s rose significantly by the end of the study.

Congrats IU, you made my night laughing at these Badger fans.
Now if we storm against a mid-major or a lower ranked team....then college students are living too much in the moment. So I really don't blame them. Considering what the program has been through since Knight left we shouldn't expect students who were 5 to 9 years old to "uphold the pedigree". Two Big Ten championships since they were born.
We aren't Kentucky. We aren't North Carolina. We aren't Duke.
I did not enjoy the court storming either. I appear to be in the minority but whatever. We're either freaking Indiana at AssemblY hall or we aren't. There is a reason Cal won't come back to the place. We should expect to beat number 3 Wiscy there in January. Just my opinion
Ky fans are still butthurt over the 2011 game!
The poster "pacertom" since this forum began (and before!). I changed my name here to "Slick Pinkham" in honor of the imaginary player That Bobby "Slick" Leonard picked late in the 1971 ABA draft (true story!).
To be fair Kentucky fans probably would say that about any court storming.
@ Nebraska would only be a bad loss to people that aren't paying attention the last couple years. No loss is ever a "good" loss obviously, but losing @ Lincoln isn't something to make fun of someone about anymore or anything. Ever since they joined the conference they've made a concerted effort to have a respectable hoops program and they absolutely do now. Tim Miles is a GREAT coach.
I agree with Cali on court storming. With thst said I can see why College students and coaches want to do it. Coaches preach we need the fans we need thr fans to win. So I do understand why some teams do it personally I wouldn't do it.
Marble gets no love in the best pg discussion?
I love conference play any team can beat anyone.
I really agree with Crean IU played damn near flawless great performance. If I was Bo Ryan I wouldn't be too upset just tip my cao and move on.
I've actually gone the other way, completely, on the court storming. They are 18-21 year old college kids, in all likelihood, drunk. It's just fun for them. Who cares? Let them do it.
Can someone explain to me why I should care if, like cdash said, drunk college kids storm the court after a HUGE win?
What more proof do you need to see that IU/KY is an intense rivalry? Can't believe they ended that series.
KY could also still be bitter of their recent loss, though AR didn't storm the court, well not entirely, I think a few students wandered on, including AR RB Alex Collins, before they had to push everyone back because there was .2 seconds left. Apparently a KY player got into a shouting match with a fan too.
Er, back to the issue at hand. I literally said, out loud, "C'mon, don't rush the floor," and even a lot of people down here seem to find it strange that IU would rush the floor after beating Wisconsin, just because IU has the history that Wisconsin doesn't. I think it's just the trend these days and I don't really get to upset about it, as long as it no one gets hurt.
I also think the Watford shot game was a special circumstance. If they had just rushed that one time and never again I'd be happy.

The Indiana-Kentucky rivalry has to be renewed, I think it would be a good game if our guys showed up to play, Kentucky isn't anything special
Why are people assuming the kids are drunk rushing the floor?
because a lot of them are
Not when I went to the games.
Oh yeah? You personally breathalyze all of them?
All I know is that when I was in those end seats on the court I don't care who we were playing I was getting lit for it.
Topics IU fans have *****ed about and created multi-paged threads to crap their pants on various message boards:
1) The Big Ten logo being placed on the floor of Assembly Hall and how it "ruined the purity of the sacred court."
2) Putting a "no charge zone" circle in the paint, for the same reason mentioned above.
3) Having a scoreboard that shows advertisements.
4) Students having the nerve to hold up cardboard objects during games.
5) People having the nerve to be happy about an outright Big Ten title when the season ended with a loss.
6) Court-storming.
We're a passionate fanbase, but many of our fans overvalue our basketball program and think everyone around the country still views us like they did in 1987.
All I said was that I did it, and the group that I got tickets with got drunk as well. Most of the people I know made a big production out of their rare opportunities in those seats. I don't think that it's going out on a limb to say that "a lot" of people are drunk. I disagree about it "dampening" the memory. To others, it enhances it. You are in college, after all.
That's really the main point here too: Drunk or not, these kids are in college. They want to have fun, they want to be part of something, they want to celebrate. If it includes them running out onto the court to embrace one another and jump around, then let them have their fun. It's one of the many experiences (if you are lucky enough to have the opportunity to be part of one) that make IU special. My immediate reaction was against it, because my crusty old alumni "act like you've been here before" reaction kicked in.
I'm hearing Manny Diaz will be our new defensive coordinator

Its not 100% he will be, but its looking like it. The guy did turn around the Mississippi State defense
For the record, the Manny Diaz to IU story is only a rumor at this point, so it is not a forgone conclusion

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - The Chicago Sky took advantage of the Indiana Fever's injury woes.
Chicago held Indiana without a field goal for nearly 6 minutes of the fourth quarter to rally for the lead and pull away as the Sky finished with a 22-10 edge in the final period.
``It's nice to pull out a grinding win,'' Chicago coach Pokey Chatman said. ``We held them to 24 points in the second half. We rebounded the ball and were able to run. Indiana's hurting and having different lineups and defenses.''
Elena Delle Donne had 13 points and seven rebounds and Sylvia Fowles scored 11 points for the Sky (5-3). Prince shot 8 for 14 from the field.
The Fever led from the middle of the first quarter to the middle of the fourth before the Sky used a 15-2 run to take control as Indiana went 0 for 10 from the field during their drought.
Shavonte Zellous scored 17 points to lead the defending champion Fever (1-6), who were without perennial All-Star Tamika Catchings as they lost their sixth straight. Catchings, sidelined by a lower back injury, became the sixth player to miss a game for Indiana this season.
Katie Douglas (lower back), Erin Phillips (torn right meniscus) and Jeanette Pohlen (torn left ACL) are not expected to return before mid-July, and Jessica Davenport (left tibia stress fracture) is out for the season. Also, rookie Layshia Clarendon was recently out for a game with a sprained ankle.
``On paper, we aren't even supposed to be close,'' Indiana coach Lin Dunn said. ``They should've blown us out of the building. You've got to give these players (credit) for battling.''
After Erlana Larkins' layup put the Fever ahead 54-49 with 8:24 remaining, the Sky went on their decisive run. Delle Donne started it with two free throws and a jumper to pull Chicago within one. Clarendon made two free throws to put Indiana's lead back up to three with 6:41 to go, and Prince followed with two jumpers 1:08 apart to put the Sky ahead near the midpoint of the quarter. It was their first lead since midway through the first.
Delle Donne capped the run with a jumper to give Chicago a 64-56 lead with 2:59 left.
``We started off slow in the first three quarters,'' said Delle Donne, the second overall pick in this year's WNBA draft. ``We relied on our defense to get us in the game. Some people were able to make their shots, which allowed us to win.''
Jessica Breland's layup with 2:26 remaining ended Indiana's field-goal drought of 5:58.
``The last four minutes they took control and the lead and we couldn't overcome and get the lead back,'' Zellous said.
Offense was tough to come by for the Fever as they shot 23 percent in the second half and 32 percent for the game. Indiana forced 17 turnovers and scored 19 points from them, but it wasn't enough.

Hi Masters! Sitting here trying to get motivated to push out the door for a few. I was able to get a second five miler in yesterday on the TM at lunch in 44:08 (8:50 pace). With Sunday and Monday's mileage I'm still nine miles ahead of what I did last week.
I need to register the family for the "Free To Breathe" walk/run on May 19, today. Wife and kids are doing the 5K and I'm doing the 10K. We did this last year and we decided to make this an annual event.

jb: Did the stick do the trick?
Good Morning Masters,
Well this has been an interesting 2 weeks. I had some very minor surgery 2 weeks ago and was advised to avoid running/exercise while things healed. Not a problem. Then I developed a nice case of vertigo (totally unrelated to the surgery). Things seem to be calming down and I hope to get in an easy 4 or so after work today. We'll see.
Enjoy the day,
good luck tonight Scott I hope you feel great on your fist run back

Wolfgate- hope your run goes well today
Good morning everyone. Been out of action the past 2 days. Sorry. Trying to recover from all the yard work last week, partially moving dd back home and getting back into the work routine. Ran 14 miles (9:21) on Saturday, after working in the yard all day. Not sure if it was the late run after the yard work or the shoes (Pegs), but I had some hip and knee pain Sunday and a bit yesterday. So no runs those two days. Was back at it today for 7.1 miles (8:20) in my old Cortanas. I think the pegs might be limited to the shorter runs. I have much to catch up on, mainly race reports. Taking care of something at work right now, so will try to get back here later. Good day all.
Good morning Masters! Monday: SRD. Need to finish my trail shoe project where I added a plastic rock plate, mow the yard and get in a couple of easy runs. Half marathon race report. Have a great day!

9.6 miles today. The knee feels much better; thanks to all who expressed concern.
gship, the Irish Spring seems to be working for us. No deer in the flowers for the past 4 days. If you try it, we used a potato peeler and dropped shavings in the areas we wanted to protect. Pretty simple.
Opus, happy belated birthday. You and my DW share the same day. You go to track meets and I used to take her to my son's high school baseball games. Welcome back to the Vomero users club. Are you wearing the new 8's, or still in 7's?
snowbelt, it seems like you have had a tough spring so far. Hope you are finally healthy and can enjoy this wonderful running weather we are having.
EIB, I'm all about family events, especially when it includes running. Nice double for you yesterday.
nb4, nice miles for you this morning. I hope the foot is still progressing.
Good runs to all today.

Taking a quick break from writing an annual evaluation.
The family had a nice time visiting DS#2 at his college this past weekend. Great weather and activities. The two DS's and I also ran a very low key 5k race on Sunday put on by the Dartmouth College women's rugby team to raise funds for the National Easting Disorder Association in memory of a teammate who lost her life a number of years ago to ED. The run was a overall good experience. Finished 69th out of ??? and have no idea what my time was. As I'm just getting back into running I really didn't care, just wanted to give it an honest effort and the roller coaster hills made sure of that.
Came home late Sunday afternoon and then received a call from the nursing home where my Mom now resides around 7pm saying she was being brought to the emergency room. I ended up back in NY on Monday with her, and my sister. The next several days will be important to see if the medical staff can reverse some infections she has. Please keep her in your prayers.
So yesterday was an off day. After driving to and from Philadelphia on Wed/Thursday, and New Hampshire on Sat. Sun, and the one day trip to NY yesterday, I was tired.
Will run some tonight during what looks to be a beautiful evening.
Elizabeth while in Hanover I drove the half marathon we are running in October. Not to scare you but YIKES!!!!! on some of the hills. Slightly steeper but reminded me of leg # 6 of the 100 on 100.
Wolfgate hope the AT settles soon.
Will try to catch up on posts here tonight.
$Bill, sending good thoughts and prayers for your Mom, hope her docs can get her fixed up...
7.1 miles yesterday in the rain at 8:41 pace.
7.3 miles today at 8:30 pace.
Not sure why the pace yesterday was so slow.......rain felt great and so did I.
Dollar- So sorry to hear about your mother. I wish the best for your family

NIGHT - You're always 100% in my books!!! Hello!
Flyin: Thanks for the info! That makes sense.
Richard: If you start being productive at work, they are going to expect it all the time. Be careful!
Good news about your AT! Still be smart and patient!
ElB: Nice double!

"NIGHT - You're always 100% in my books!!! Hello!"
Ahhhhhh Spunky.......I miss reading you each day
Thanks for the sweet words.
Hopefully all is OK in your world.
Lime is down...fertilizer is down....grub control is down.
Marigolds are planted.
More dandelions have been uprooted.
Gnats have satisfied their need for blood.
Rain is incoming for tomorrow.
A shower never felt so good.
Off to the roller and the stick.
Have a good evening friends....enjoy
dollar: I am so sorry to hear about your mom, prayers going.
snowbelt: ahh, vertigo is no fun. Hope it clears up fast.
nb4: you were a busy guy today, the yard is ready or was all of this in your garden?
As for my globe traveling dd2...I am very excited for her and extremely proud that she initiated this step. That being said...a mom's perogative is to worry and especially so when she will be on the other side of the world and I can't just call her. But I am not projecting my worries onto her...her older brother, ah that is not the case.
illini: nice run on a recovered knee!
no run today, and probably not tomorrow either, blah.
On a good note, we saw the sun here today!
Have a great evening everyone!
Good evening, masters!
Last night I did a technique run on the track then 2 sets of a new strength routine. I also bought the cold roller.....a mother's day gift to myself. I tried it last night, but it was late and didn't use it long. It's different for sure. It was not to cold rolling but the legs sure were cold to the touch after....this is a good thing, IMO. Still to soon to tell how well it works. It is so small that I don't think you could use it for big areas like your back. I wish they had more information on the use of it, but I guess I will learn with experience.
Tonight, I'll be doing 1:15 recovery spin on the bike. Haven't decided if I want to do it outside....weather is perfect or inside on the trainer or rollers.
$bill- prayers for your mom's recovery.
NB4- I was sweating while rolling on the darn thing. lol
gotta get going if I'm going to get this recovery spin done.
DollarBill - Sending positive thoughts your way.
TC: Keep us up on the cold roller. How much was it?
Nice easy swim, and some upper body ST. Then ab Chal!
EIB: Nice double
Dollar Bill: Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your mother.
TWW: Nice 7.1 and 7.3
NB: Some very nice yard work!
Liney: I think they see right thru us most times.
TC: Nice work, cold roller, let us know how it works.
$Bill, prayers added for your mom (and you and your family).
NB4, If I'd known that I'd have let you practice on my yard! Very much enjoyed your post to rcl about aging and slowing.
EIB, the .22 is pretty nice but it didn't start that way. Never cycled. After less than 20 rnds I sent it back to S&W for repair. It's much better now. Nice run today.
Sorry, lots of other stuff going on. Did get in a run at lunch that included 6 x 4 minutes at 5k effort with 2 minute recoveries. Sunny and in the 70s. Have a great night everyone!

Torrington's Jordan Williams working hard as member of NBA Development League's Springfield Armor (with postgame interview, highlight videos)
Published 12:00 am, Friday, January 27, 2012
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. - Torrington native Jordan Williams is off to a good start with the NBA Development League's Springfield Armor.
Foul trouble may have kept Williams from getting to his season averages on Thursday night against the Idaho Stampede (affiliated with the Denver Nuggets, Portland Trail Blazers and Utah Jazz), but Williams did block former Boston Celtic Antoine Walker's shot. Williams also threw down a powerful one-hand slam on a fast break off an assist from JamesOn Curry. Williams played solid defense against Walker, though Walker did get a three-point play against Williams.
Williams played 28 minutes and 33 seconds. He picked up his fifth foul with eight minutes remaining in the fourth quarter and did not return.
Williams finished with 6 points, 6 rebounds, 2 blocks and 2 steals. He went 2-for-5 from the field and was 2-for-6 at the foul line.
"It was a great night, not only for myself, but the team," Williams said. "We played really well together. The things one person lacked, the other made up for."
Williams spent time after Thursday's game catching up with family and friends. Williams got the chance to play in front of his mother Dee, his father Leron, and his sister Caycee for the first time since he's been in Springfield.
Dennis Horner led Springfield with 24 points. He was one of three players to reach the 20-point mark for the Armor.
Terrico White led Idaho with 20 points.
Williams has been getting plenty of playing time with the Armor since being sent to the team by the New Jersey Nets.
"I'm just trying to work hard, listen to the coaches, and do whatever I can to work my way back up," Williams said.
Entering Thursday night's game, Williams was averaging 14.3 points, 9.8 rebounds and 2 blocks per game. Thursday night was his fifth game.
Williams may not have hit his averages, but he preferred to look at the positives.
"I was doing the little things tonight," Williams said. "I was getting deflections, steals and just helping my teammates, making extra passes, trying to get my teammates involved. Every night you're not going to go out and get double-doubles. You just got to be patient. That's what I did tonight."
Williams downplayed his block of Walker.
"It's cool," Williams said. "It's all part of the game. I'm just happy to be out here playing. I'm happy about that."
Williams was impressed by the efforts of Horner, who was his teammate with the Nets early in the NBA season.
"He's a great shooter," Williams said of Horner. "He's a great player. He's a great forward. He really (helps) our team when he's out there playing well."
Williams didn't just praise Horner.
"Anybody that got minutes played well," Williams said. "At one point, five players on the court had double figures in points, so we did really good. It was definitely a positive night for us."
Before the game, Williams spoke courtside about playing for Springfield.
"My teammates accepted me right away," Williams said in a courtside interview. "I get a lot of minutes, a lot of game experience."
A crowd of 2,556 watched the game.

Follow-up X-rays on Hanley, Puig negative
PITTSBURGH -- X-rays taken on the left wrist of Dodgers shortstop Hanley Ramirez and the left hand of right fielder Yasiel Puig came back negative Monday.
Both players were driven from games after being hit by pitches during the weekend series in St. Louis. Initial X-rays revealed no fractures, but the club scheduled follow-up exams for Monday.
Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said before the game that the club was optimistic that neither player was seriously injured. He said Puig might be available for pinch-hitting Monday night. Mattingly indicated that Ramirez's more recent injury was more painful than Puig's.
Ramirez was replaced at shortstop in the starting lineup by Justin Turner on Monday night against the Pirates. Puig's absence required more creativity by Mattingly, who moved Matt Kemp to right field for the first time in five years, with Andre Ethier starting in center field and Carl Crawford in left.
"It's not a perfect situation, but Matt's a baseball player," said Mattingly. "We make a big deal about this. But we don't ask him to be perfect, just do the best he can. If he's not perfect, it's not necessarily his fault. I look at Matt as a good athlete who's capable of playing in multiple spots."

Brazos riverfront development plans could complement Baylor Stadium
The City of Waco is currently considering a proposal for development along the Brazos River that would turn the area adjacent to Robinson Tower into several blocks of riverfront shopping, restaurants, a movie theater, residential units and more — think the San Antonio Riverwalk in miniature.
A series of renderings (click here to view) and the video above of the "Brazos Commons" plans have been released to give an idea of what could be in store for Waco. With Baylor Stadium going up just across I-35, University Parks Drive and the Brazos riverfront could be in store for a grand new look — one that would benefit both the Baylor and Greater Waco communities, as students and other Waco residents enjoy the new offerings along the river.
Waco's future is bright!
Sic 'em, Waco developers!
