THE mother of a brave teenager who was left paralysed after a holiday accident claims that a spinal unit refused to scan her son because he would "never walk again".
Cory Peyton damaged his spinal cord after he dived into a swimming pool and hit his head on the floor while on holiday with his family in Portugal in July.
His mum Michelle, aged 43, claims Southport Spinal Unit said there was no reason to give her son Cory another scan because he was not going to recover from his injuries.
But the family, decided to fundraise for the costs for him to be treated privately, and consultants from St John's and Elizabeth's Hospital, London, have said following a scan that they believe he will walk again.
Mrs Peyton, of Keats Close, Atherton, said: "Cory is chuffed to bits by the news. He kept saying he would prove them all wrong, and this is confirmation of that.
"His arms are much stronger and doctors at Watford are hopeful and believe he will walk again. I believe it too.
"He had a scan a few weeks ago and we had to pay for it ourselves. It cost £900 but it was worth every penny. They said that all the swelling was gone and there was still bruising on the spinal cord, but once that has gone they don't see why he won't walk again.
"For me it is a mixture of happiness and anger.
"I am delighted we have had such amazing news and that Cory is doing so well, but I am also really upset that Southport just dismissed him so readily."
Cory, aged 15, is currently having treatment three days a week at a rehabilitation centre in Watford.
Mrs Peyton said: "He needs equipment at home so he can do his rehab there. He needs a special bike, which will cost between £7,000 and £15,000, plus a standing frame, a walking frame and exercise weights.
"It all depends on the bruising on his spinal cord but thankfully he is not in any pain.
"He's doing amazingly well. He's always smiling and he never gets down — it's me that does that."
Mr Rob Gillies, executive medical director at Southport and Ormskirk Hospital, said: "Cory had two scans, one before and another after surgery in Lisbon, which clearly showed the extent of damage to his spinal cord.
"The only indication for a further scan would have been if there was a neurological deterioration in his condition, which was not the case here.
"Under these circumstances scan results would not determine the type, extent or the intensity of rehabilitation. It is very much dependent on the clinical response of the individual patient to therapy. Therefore, there was no indication to do a further scan at this stage and it would not have altered our management.
"Cory was a patient for six months during which time he had rehabilitation and was regularly monitored. In this time, while he achieved some good functional goals, no significant change in the use of his legs was observed.
"Normally, if use was going to return, it would begin to show within three to four months of such an injury."

SAN JOSE — The Frys.com Open is teeing itself up after this year and driving north — at least temporarily.
The annual PGA Tour event has been played at CordeValle Resort in San Martin south of San Jose since 2010 when sponsor Fry's Electronics moved the tournament to the Bay Area from Arizona. But officials said Wednesday that following the 2013 tournament from Oct. 10-13, the event will switch to the Silverado Resort's North Course in Napa. The contract with Silverado calls for the Frys.com Open to be played there in 2014 with an option to return in 2015 and 2016.
Frys.com Open officials say they are moving the tournament, which has featured such top competitors as Tiger Woods and Ernie Els, because a four-year contract with CordeValle is expiring after this year.
Plans originally called for the 2014 Frys.com Open to be played at The Institute, a private course east of Morgan Hill built by Fry's Electronics' John Fry.
But construction delays regarding The Institute clubhouse, complicated by a PG&E pipeline that runs through the property, have forced an alternate solution.
Silverado proprietors were interested in showcasing their property after recently completing a golf course revamping supervised by former PGA Tour pro Johnny Miller.
Silverado has previously hosted PGA and Senior PGA events.
Jeff Sanchez, the Frys.com tournament director, said the event's ultimate destination is still The Institute, whenever the clubhouse can be completed.
CordeValle, meanwhile, will stay busy by playing host to the 2013 Senior Women's Amateur, 2015 PGA Cup and 2016 U.S. Women's Open.

Enhancing Dynamics with Active Systems
Our aim is to extend the boundaries of vehicle dynamics with application of active control.
Lotus pioneered fully active suspension in 1981. Over 30 years and 50 active research and prototypes later, we are now exploiting the possibilities presented by electric drive and torque control.
Active control systems for suspension, steering, braking, traction and aerodynamics improve the inherent dynamic envelope of even a very good 'passive' vehicle. The end result is an improved customer driving experience and a honed brand identity. Agility and ride comfort benefits, stability is improved and aerodynamic drag losses are reduced.
Active Systems are not just for the realms of Formula 1 and high performance vehicles, we have applied the technology to trucks, buses and even tracked vehicles. We can provide simulations, concept definition and prototypes and demonstrator vehicles.
We work alongside component suppliers to facilitate and project manage systems into production.

COLUMBUS — It seemed the perfect night, Senior Night, for the Polk County boys to end a long drought of winless seasons against rival Hendersonville, and the Wolverines produced exactly what they believed they could in their 63-59 win Tuesday night.
"This was the first time all season we've played four quarters of basketball. Our kids just kept believing; Ben Stockdale and Anthony Carson willed us back into the game every time we got in a hole," said Polk boys coach Josh McEntire.
Freshman Jamal Tanner was Polk's leading scorer, with 18 points — 16 in the second half. Senior Alec Philpott added 13 points and Sequan Miller had 11.
Polk jumped to the 18-17 lead to close the first eight minutes of play, but the Bearcats refocused and stormed on a 21-6 second-quarter run to take the 38-24 halftime lead. With just over two minutes remaining in the first quarter, one of the referees chose to disqualify Shawn Rogers from the game after Rogers was called for an intentional foul.
But Polk (11-13, 7-7 WHC) returned the favor in the third quarter with a 23-9 run divided evenly among the Wolverines to make the score an even 47-all heading into the final quarter.
HHS made a four-point lead for itself early in the fourth but that was as far away as it held Polk the rest of the time. Tanner sank a 3 with under three minutes to play to give Polk the 57-55 lead. The Bearcats put up four more straight points for the 59-57 lead but Tanner again came through with a jumper to tie it up.
Tanner drove in the lane and got the layup for the go-ahead basket with under one minute remaining, and Philpott finished things off with two free throws.
"We switched out of the zone and went to man defense in the fourth quarter and it paid off," McEntire said. "This is my first win against Hendersonville as a coach, but it's a huge win for the program, not just me."
Matt Wheeler led HHS (20-3, 13-1 WHC) with a double-double, 12 points and 11 rebounds, and Cody Westmoreland was close behind with 11 points and nine rebounds.
Even after leading most of the game, Hendersonville's girls fell to Polk, 57-48, thanks to a big 20-10 third quarter by the Lady Wolverines. Kara Overholt scored 14 points for Polk while Aaliyah Waddell had 27 for HHS.
Both teams will play in the WHC tournament starting Tuesday at Mitchell.
Polk, Tanner stun Hendersonville on Senior Night
COLUMBUS — It seemed the perfect night, Senior Night, for the Polk County boys to end a long drought of winless seasons against rival Hendersonville, and the Wolverines produced exactly what they believed they could in their 63-59 win Tuesday night.

Kurt Busch, the 2004 Cup champion who has spent this season trying to rebuild his career at Phoenix Racing, will drive for Furniture Row Racing in 2013, the team announced Monday.
Busch will replace Regan Smith, who had driven for the team for the last four years. Smith earned a victory at Darlington in May 2011 but was unable to crack the top 20 in the series standings.
"Though we have made strides as a resourceful single-car Sprint Cup team, we are not where we want to be, which led us to the difficult decision of making a driver change as we move forward," Furniture Row Racing general manager Joe Garone said in a statement. "Kurt's exceptional driving talent has the capacity to take a team to another level."
There is no doubting Busch's ability. In addition to the '04 Cup title, he has 24 wins in 427 career starts. He has qualified for the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup six times in the last nine years.
He spent the first five years of his career at Roush Fenway and then the next six at Penske Racing, which released him after the 2011 season following a series of emotional outbursts and a difference of opinion over the direction of the organization.
That led Busch to the unsponsored Phoenix Racing, where he is 25th in the standings with one top-five and two top-10s, as well as a part-time Nationwide ride for his brother's Kyle Busch Motorsports and Phoenix. He has two wins, one for each organization, in the Nationwide Series this year.
Busch, 34, was not able to stay totally out of NASCAR's doghouse this season. He was put on probation for driving recklessly through Ryan Newman's pit stall at Darlington and then suspended for a race after verbally berating a Sporting News reporter.
Since that June incident, Busch has not had any others while having minimal success on the track.
Furniture Row also has had minimal success. Smith is 23rd in the driver standings and the team is 25th in the owner standings, two spots ahead of Phoenix Racing.
"Furniture Row Racing has the commitment, talent and resources to compete at a high level in the Sprint Cup Series," Busch said.
"I have watched with admiration on how this team has grown over the years and that is why I am excited about the opportunity as I eagerly look forward to a new chapter in my racing career."
Furniture Row Racing has an alliance with Richard Childress Racing, which it had hoped would have already produced better results. The team changed crew chiefs from Pete Rondeau to Todd Berrier in late July, and that seemed to give the team a little bit of a spark.
"As our team driver the past four years, Regan has represented Furniture Row Racing with both class and competitiveness," Garone said. "His win at Darlington in 2011—the first for Furniture Row Racing—will be a memory forever etched in our organization's history.
"He is a friend, and will always be a friend."
Smith said last week he was in discussions with other teams.
"I feel like this is a place we've got good equipment and fast cars," Smith said last Friday. "We were doing things probably a little bit wrong at the beginning of the year.
"And now we've gotten back to where it's going in the right direction and things are going good and you'd like to be part of seeing that through when things get good. But that's how it goes. It's part of the sport."

THE owners of Accrington's Arndale Centre will meet to discuss safety measures next month.
Jesta Capital will meet with police, the council, and the Samaritans on July 3, following the death of 17-year-old Lauren Johnson, who died after falling from the centre's car park.
The meeting was revealed by the company in a letter to Hyndburn and Haslingden MP Graham Jones, who contacted Jesta after the Burnley-born student's death on June 5.
The letter, written by UK director David Berman, said: "We are taking this matter extremely seriously and are mindful of the respect to be given to the parents of the young girl at this very tragic time in their lives. We share your view that measures need to be implemented an issue we do not face alone."
Mr Jones said: "I will be writing to Lancashire County Council to ensure that people at risk are more aware of the services on offer."

Crane gears up for spring facility presentation
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- Astros owner Jim Crane said he is scheduled to meet with Palm Beach County officials on Thursday to be presented with three possible Spring Training locations within the county.
The Astros, whose contract at Osceola County Stadium in Kissimmee, Fla., expires at the end of 2016, would like to relocate their spring camp to Palm Beach County and have had recent talks with the Nationals about building a two-team facility in the area. Crane said the Blue Jays remain an option, though he hasn't talked to them lately.
The team had hoped to build a facility with the Blue Jays in Palm Beach Gardens, but it hit a roadblock when citizens voiced concern over traffic.
"If we're going to do something, we really have to have a deal signed by the end of this year to make sure we have time to get something built," Crane said. "That's kind of the timetable. I think everybody's leaning in and the last location got a little resistance from the locals. We think it's still a good location, but we'll have to see what they have to present with us."
Having the Astros and one other club share a facility in Palm Beach County would give the area five teams and bring some financial incentives from the state. That being said, Crane said remaining in Kissimmee would be an option if there are some improvements, and he said the team could look to move its spring operations to Arizona as well.
"We knew we had some time when we started [looking for a new site] last year, and I think the next six months, we need to get something signed if we want to make a move," he said. "Certainly, we'd like to stay there and there might be some upgrades there, but we're still looking at Arizona. All the doors are open, and we hope one of them shuts."
Crane was given a tour of Tradition Field on Tuesday by Mets chief operating officer Jeff Wilpon.
"This one has been here a while, and they've done a nice job of maintaining it and have some great common areas," Crane said. "It looks like a very nice park."

That is absolutely not what the OP did. He came here to gloat and rub our noses in IU's loss. That was clearly the tone of the post. I guess the fact that I don't have a big stiffy for the "Butler Way" or their arrogant fanbase that trashes IU but can't even fill tiny Hinkle Fieldhouse makes me a villain in this community. So be it. You people are just going to have to deal with it or cry to a mod to ban me.
I get it, he hurt your feelings...get used to it, no one is "respectful" to each other and no one is going to get down on their knees to respect IU. You wanted to be the big dawg so you put a target on your back and somebody got you, stop whining and take your licks. Also please feel free to quote the post and no one has EVER MISINTERPRETED A POST ON THE INTERNET...

This is a complete fabrication of what the actual issue is. Nowhere have I ever communicated that IU commands respect or admiration from opposing fanbases. But a line is crossed when an opposing fan ventures into an IU thread to gloat. I did nothing extreme in response yet you babies have done nothing but **** and moan since.
It is pathetic that you had to craft a strawman to find a way to critcize me.
So now I am at fault for your immaturity?
After the multiple pot-shots you took at butler i do not believe you can play the respect card.
I was actually wondering that myself...has he been in Creans doghouse of sorts? Or is he just falling just falling into his role?
get over yourself dude.
As far as I can tell, this is the post that set you off in a whiny snippy hissy fit:
"After all the **** I've taken from IU fans, this feels so freaking good. Its still just one game though. Onto the next..."
So let's summarize: he's taken a lot of flak in the past for liking a team that gets a lot less support, it was an exciting game, he feels good about the outcome, but he also realizes it was only one game, so in the big scheme it's not everything-- it would mean nothing if they blew the next game, for example, so he's moving on. Sounds like a mature attitude to me.
I don't get where you even see that as gloating or a post made in an unacceptable tone. It was a pretty innocuous remark that led you on a multipage tirade that has lasted a week now. You have some ISSUES.

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!).
but a line was crossed!
The Butler game was the first one he was eligible for thanks to nonsensical NCAA findings over a bumper sticker in 1992. If I were Crean, I wouldn't have thrown him out into the fire right away.

Lol wtf has happened to this thread
Okay, enough with the pissing contest. Let's get this thread back on track.
They boot that idiot IU guy. He causes trouble on every thread...... ...
I am not a troll. He certainly is. I rarely say anything that isn't positive about the Pacers. I don't post about the Colts anymore, I just ignore them. I still hate IU and all of their sports programs and I admit that I root against them all of the time. I don't worry about them, the curse of the General, will last for a hundred years.... ...
Next one gets an infraction.

Anyone else curious about what is going on with Jeremy Hollowell? Lots of speculation and what not going on there--hopefully it gets resolved sooner rather than later.
Jabari Parker had an agent at his freaking announcement presser, so it's not like this stuff isn't insanely common if that's what it is.
It was indirect contact, I believe, or so the rumor goes. Read: probably a parent.
Didn't get it from a Purdue board. I don't go to any of them since they're basically 100% irrational and just downright stupid.
At least not half of our team is on academic suspension
Smothered Chicken!
neither's IU's? they don't have a single guy on academic suspension far as I know.

Passenger Safety for Big Kids
Passenger Safety for Big Kids
Car Seats and Booster Seats
We know big kids are eager to grow up, and that means sitting in the front just like adults. But real VIPs ride in the back seat, and that's where your kids should sit every time until they are 13. Here are a few more tips to keep your kids as safe as possible during every ride.
Top Safety Tips
- Kids who have outgrown a forward-facing harness seat are not ready for just a seat belt. Instead, they should transition to a booster seat that enables the adult seat belt to fit properly.
- When your child is seated in the booster seat, make sure the lap and shoulder belts fit snugly. The lap belt should fit low across the hips and the shoulder belt across the shoulder, not behind the back or under the arm.
- Children no longer needs booster seats when they can pass the following Safety Belt Fit Test:
- The child's knees should bend at the edge of the seat when his or her back and bottom are against the vehicle seat back;
- The vehicle lap belt should fit across the upper thighs; and
- The shoulder belt should fit across the shoulder and chest. Older kids get weighed and measured less often than babies, so check your child's growth a few times a year. Generally, kids need to use a booster seat until they are at least 4 feet 9 inches tall and weigh between 80 and 100 pounds. For most kids, they will be between ages 8 to 12 year old.
- We know that when adults wear seat belts, kids wear seat belts. So be a good example and buckle up for every ride. Be sure everyone in the vehicle buckles up, too.
- When carpooling, make sure you have enough seating positions and car seats or booster seats for every child in your car. Be sure that kids enter and exit curbside.

text: Lewis Black lightens up the Clay Center By Bill Lynch May 16, 2013 Story Share CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Thursday night, the Meier Performance Hall at the Clay Center howled with laugher as comedian, actor and writer Lewis Black held court for almost two hours.The comedian got a pretty good house, too, with only a few seats here and there on the lower level and the first balcony turning up empty. Charleston was in the mood for some good laughs and Black kept them coming at an easy pace.Starting off the evening, and as a kind of surprise, Black brought with him comedian John Bowman, as his opening act.Not all comedians travel with opening acts and it is an unenviable job to open for a comedian as well known as Black. Bowman had to work harder to earn laughs that probably came to Black with a lot less effort, but he got laughs, although clearly not as many.Bowman was funny. His bits with the ukulele were cute, but not everything he tossed out seemed to land evenly with the audience. He was bit darker than Black.Black's set was good, but not a particular revelation. He didn't go anywhere unexpected. He covered topics familiar to long-time viewers of his segments on Comedy Central's Daily Show or fans of his comedy specials. Some of the best comedians are street-level philosophers, and Black's material was all solid social commentary, although very personal to whom Black presents to the public.He's a liberal, by default a Democrat, but he thinks both political parties and the tea party are lunatics. He's simultaneously impressed and repulsed by our technological advances -- he says we work the hardest to solve the problems that aren't that big of a deal.He hates cellphones. He really, really hates cellphones and Facebook -- even though he carries one and said he uses the online social media service.He's also frustrated by our inability to improve our own lives, even though we seem capable of it -- at least, theoretically.As expected, Black was abrasive; Black was profane. From time to time, he erupted in gorgeous explosions of profanity. No one seemed to mind. If anything, the audience loved him for his roiling comedic rage. It's part of what he's known for, but underneath all of that and the jokes, Black seemed to be quietly making the case that we could do better.It probably didn't seem particularly likely that we would, but he was maybe putting it out there for consideration.Reach Bill Lynch at firstname.lastname@example.com or 304-348-5195.

For many, this week marks the start of a new school year and vibrant shades of green to be eco-wise for the environment and our wallet. And really, who couldn't use new ways to conserve resources and money?
Go Green in Style
Back-to-school shopping can leave our wallets thin, especially since kids outgrow their clothes in no time. Thredup.com is a peer-to-peer online clothing exchange service for kids clothing. It is an eco-conscious way to get fashionable and lovingly worn kids clothing at an affordable price with all the convenience of home shopping. For only $5 a box + $10.95 shipping parents can easily swap clothes their kids have outgrown for great new items that fit.
Waste-Free Lunches
If you are packing lunches why not consider buying in bulk and storing the extra in reusable containers? Or try using cloth napkins and insulated tote bags to reduce waste. If you decide to pack a lunch, eco-friendly brands like, CrocodileCreek.com offer a wide selection of kid inspired, non-toxic, insulated lunch boxes and storage containers for snacks and drinks. BuiltNY.com offers neoprene bags that are insulated, lightweight and adorable. Organic cloth bags by MimitheSardine.com wipe clean or can be machine washed.

All you have to do is purchase 4 items – one from each of the following companies: Annie's Homegrown, Honest Kids, Seventh Generation, and Stonyfield YoKids. If only we can get our kids to eat their lunch.
Greening School Supplies
There a few simple and cost effective ways to save and be greener with school supplies. First of all, only buy what is on your child's list. Then take inventory of what you have left over from last year. Pencil cases, scissors, rulers, and notebooks can be reused and even made to look brand new with a good cleaning and a crafty make over. Also, consider using biodegradable pens and pencils or try refillable pens and pencils.
Join the conversation and tell us how you go green during this time of year.

The evidence is there from Finding Bigfoot...so do you?

The evidence is there from Finding Bigfoot...so do you?
The evidence?
It seems plausible to me because it would just be a rare, large North American ape that hides out in the forests of the Pacific Northwest, if it is there at all, so it's not much of a stretch that it could be the case. It's not like it's some super-powered being or whatnot. So, sure, I think there could be what one might call a bigfoot. If you mean one solitary, 'special creature', no, but perhaps a very limited population of said large, rare ape, I can buy that.
I was listening to an interview with Les Stroud (a.k.a Survivorman of the same-titled show on Discovery channel) talk about this a while back, and he pointed out that that region is far bigger and secluded than people who haven't been out in it (or flown over it) realize, and he went on to explain the reasons why it could be very difficult to find physical evidence. Furthermore, during one of his times out isolated in the wilderness (I want to say somewhere in Alaska), he had an episode (not of the show, I don't think, but just out there for his own sake or some other reason) where one night he awoke to the sound of what he specifically described as what would come from a large, ape-like creature as well. Really scared him, apparently.
Wouldn't shock me to eventually find these things out there.
Dunno if you've seen the finding bigfoot show Hicks, but they basically claim that Bigfoot exist in all 50 states.
If bigfoot was hiding in the ocean I would believe. On land it's tougher to buy.
You know how hippos are made out to be sweet and silly, like big cows, but are actually extremely dangerous and can kill you with stunning brutality? The Pacers are the NBA's hippos....Matt Moore CBS Sports....
Good for them? I heard their reputation is that of a collection of dopes. I don't really care what they claim, honestly.
No, I don't think that's a thing.
Bigfoot? No.
The Ghost of Bigfoot? Most certainly.
There was a Mountain Lion that moved into my parent's "neighborhood." (I say "neighborhood" beause they live sort of in the country. A mile out from a small town, one neighbor across the road, 2-3within a 1/2mil, 5-6 within a mile, 10-15 within two miles.) It's fairly wooded, a lot of fields with sort of large woods here and there. The surrounding farmers knew about it, some had seen it first hand, DNR actually confirmed it by tracks. Not a whole lot of people knew about it, and certainly not many in the town.
Animals conceal themselves easily. I don't think it's too far fetched to think that there's an animal speices living relatively close to civilization without people knowing.
I think there's some basis in fact. How there can be nearly identical stories stretching across thousands and thousands of miles, some remote locations passed down verbally (like the Yeti) makes you really wonder.
Probably more likely that there at once was a "Bigfoot" but not any longer, and we're just hanging on to folklore.
Even after all those years watching Mark Eaton?
In the olden days when people were really spread out, you can explain Bigfoot as just a variation in human development pretty easily. Especially when we were tribal. Big human gets ostracized from his group. Lives on his own. That's an easy explanation.
Now it is just a story people like to hold onto IMO.
I just think it's hilarious that there is "evidence" of these things somehow being real.
If there was actually legitimate evidence of this, it'd be huge news. Not some garbage on a sparsely followed show on Animal Planet.
Oh re-he-he-he-he-heeeeelyyyy?
No. Where are the fossils / skeletal remains? Are they immortal? We have identified mammals that went extinct millions of years ago, and we just missed all the skeltons of bigfoot somehow? Bunch of nonsense. And the supposed "DNA evidence" recently hyped has not been published or released for any real scientists to review.
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!).
For some reason I thought this post was really, really funny. The thought of Bigfoot hiding in the ocean is what did it for me.
So do you think we've found a fossil record of every animal that ever lived on land in the past 5,000 years?
I don't know I just know that if they were as humanoid, as smart, and as large as the truthers claim, we would have found them years ago and probably killed them.
Big Foot died years ago. See video evidence below: NSFW
You all know that humans aren't the only creatures on Earth that bury their dead right? Gorillas bury their dead, elephants bury their dead. Many animals that live in packs do this. So its not hard to think that a Sasquatch would have the same sort of rituals. You are unlike to walk across the remains of a rare animal in the forest. Just as you are unlikely to walk across the remains of a Tiger in the jungle, because Tigers are extremely rare!
You can't get champagne from a garden hose.
I'm pretty sure we've found remains of all USA-dwelling large primates who have lived here in the last 50 years, many times over.
8 feet tall & 400 lbs should be findable, dontcha think?

I feel like there aren't any land based critters that we don't know about. Or at least ones that are seen with the naked eye. All the crazy **** is miles under the ocean like that god forsaken eel shark that haunts my dreams.
We are talking about an 8 foot tall, 500+ pound man beast.
Yeah you don't see that many Tigers, but we still know there are tigers.
Yes, these sighting stretch over almost every continent. While modern man has adapted quicker and more rapidly does not mean that another species of man/ape couldn't have adapted to us seeing our destructive ways and general fear of bigger predators. Stay out of sight in the deep wilderness where most men never venture. Some believe there could possibly be underground caverns that go far and wide over the northern hemisphere of the earth. Many men don't go exploring to that extent these days. Either way they don't want to be seen and can probably smell a yankee from a mile away so that'd make it easier to stay hidden.
I'm a Beast
I believe "Bigfoot" exists. I am completely on the same page as Hicks, though. I think it is an unknown species of Ape from the northwest. Nothing more.

Powell Retires from MLL, Eyes 2014 U.S. Team
|Powell scored two goals in Team USA's 16-15 win over Denver last January at Champion Challenge in Florida.
Casey Powell, the all-time leading scorer in Major League Lacrosse, has retired from the MLL after playing in just three games this season for the Hamilton Nationals. Inside Lacrosse first reported the news Thursday.
Powell, 36, will end his MLL career just one point shy of 400. He scored 203 goals (five 2-pointers) and dished 191 assists in parts of 10 seasons, most them with the Rochester Rattlers. Powell was suspended a game by the MLL for a slash during a game on June 16. He told Inside Lacrosse the league then suspended him for the remainder of the 2012 season and into 2013 due to his participation in the Lake Placid Summit Classic, where he helped lead the Burnt Orange to a master's division title Aug. 5.
"Thanks everybody, it's been a great run," Powell said on his Twitter page Thursday night. "Special thanks to the players I've competed with and against over the years."
Powell has not ruled out returning to the indoor National Lacrosse League in 2013. He became the NLL's all-time leading American scorer in 2011 with the now-defunct Boston Blazers. The Rochester Knighthawks currently own his rights.
Powell also has said he will try out for the 2014 U.S. men's national team that will defend its world title in Denver. He was co-captain of the 2006 team that fell short in the Federation of International Lacrosse (FIL) world championship final against Canada in London, Ontario. His brother, Ryan, was co-captain of the 2010 "redeem team" that won back the gold in Manchester, England.
Powell played for Team USA and won a gold medal as a youngster in 1998 in Baltimore, the last time the world championship was hosted by US Lacrosse. Several prominent players wished Powell well in retirement via Twitter. Former Syracuse teammate Paul Carcaterra, now an ESPN analyst, urged Powell: "Clock is ticking and don't hold back. Make a final run at the U.S. team." Powell replied: "I want to finish on top. Go USA."

GSA Selects 932,391 Square Foot Lease for HHS in Rockville, Maryland
Comprises agency's largest lease award for FY 11
March 10, 2011
Contact: Emily Barocas, 215-501-1231
WASHINGTON – The U.S. General Services Administration announced today that it has selected the Parklawn Building, 5600 Fishers Lane, Rockville, Md., for a 15-year lease for 932,391 rentable square feet. The lease will house elements of the Department of Health and Human Services. Occupancy is scheduled to occur in Summer 2014. The actual contract award will occur in the near future, after final due diligence is conducted.
"GSA used our best value methodology for the selection, which allows us to balance the qualities and features we seek in a location with the price," commented Cathy Kronopolus, Public Buildings Service Regional Commissioner for GSA's National Capital Region. "Parklawn will provide first-class office space, in a sustainable building, proximate to a Metrorail station at a good value for the American taxpayer."
In addition to price, offers were evaluated against three factors: location; building characteristics; and past performance and key personnel, using the best value methodology. Location and buildings characteristic shared equal value. Two subfactors figured into location: access to Metrorail and access to amenities. Access to Metrorail was the most important of all subfactors. GSA evaluated the impact of so large a lease award through preparation of an environmental assessment.
James Phelan was GSA's contracting officer, and Seyi Gbadegesin was the realty specialist. CB Richard Ellis (CBRE) served as GSA's broker for the procurement.
As the federal government's workplace solutions provider, the U.S. General Services Administration works to foster an effective, sustainable and transparent government for the American people. GSA's expertise in government workplace solutions include:
• Effective management of government assets including more than 9,600 government-owned or leased buildings and 215,000 vehicles in the federal fleet, and preservation of historic federal properties;
• Leveraging the government's buying power through responsible acquisition of products and services making up more than 14 percent of the government's total procurement dollars;
• Providing innovative technology solutions to enhance government efficiency and increase citizen engagement; and,

In Fall 2001, Steiner + Associates and Georgetown Co. completed the second phase of mixed-use trendsetter Easton Town Center, Columbus, Ohio -- and a decade later, the 1.7-million-sq.-ft. development stands as testament that the right project in the right location with the right uses can survive even the most trying economic conditions.
Chain Store Age talked with Yaromir Steiner, CEO of Columbus-based Steiner + Associates, about Easton's staying power during a recession, and its continued evolution as it strives to remain relevant.
The much-heralded Easton Town Center turns 10 this year, clearly standing the test of time despite difficult conditions over the last few years. To what do you attribute the center's resilience?
In the case of most strong projects, the success is driven largely by owners who are willing to continue investing capital toward maintaining and strengthening the asset. We have kept Easton in tune with the market, and current in terms of merchandising, amenities and tenants. We are continually investing and upgrading, bringing in relevant tenants.
Also, we have made sure the product and the experience are responsive to the aspirations of the customers. Shopping used to be solely about consumption, but now it has transcended that to being more about experience. In other words, it's not just about purchasing the blouse, but about the environment in which you purchased the blouse. Had we just concentrated on the delivery of merchandise at Easton, we wouldn't have been nearly as successful.
Third, and it may be a piece of the second point, is the strength of the leisure component. Easton features more than 200,000 sq. ft. of leisure uses; half of that is the AMC Theatres cinema, which is the largest in the state, and the rest are the restaurant and bar uses. The leisure use complements the other retail in the project. We aren't talking about outlots, but about uses that are integrated into the fabric of the center.
There have to have been lessons learned since the center's beginnings. What are a few of the more significant?
We've learned many, many lessons. I wish we had done more integrated residential and office in the project. That would have been very, very successful. Also, large projects like this function in districts -- and Easton might have three or four districts depending on how you carve them -- and we have learned that no district can live on the strength of the other. Each district needs to be compelling in its own right.
And third we have learned that the place-making is the true anchor of a project like Easton. The environment you create is what anchors the project.
How is the center being positioned for future success, in terms of leasing and merchandising as well as consumer relevance?
While we can't be specific about the tenant announcements, I can tell you that we are trying to strengthen the upper-end offerings. We also plan to complete missing or weaker categories of merchandise, and we are focusing on the surrounding environment for development, perhaps with residential and more retail, to strengthen the core project. Expect announcements in the coming months to support these objectives.
You've said that the best is yet to come for Easton; how so?
It's going to be the consequences of all of the above. When you have a strong regional retail environment, you need to make sure that the core can be exploited to create a community around it to make it an even bigger force. That's what we're doing at Easton -- creating a community.

Greetings and salutations fellow Area 55 peeps! This is second year veteran and soul patch pro Jon LaFollette writing in place of our beloved Prez Joe, who after slaving over a piping hot keyboard for the better part of three years, deserves a much needed reprieve from the rigors of writing newsletters. I happily volunteered my services so Joe could have more time doing whatever it is fancy lawyer types, such as himself, do.
The Area 55 Half-Time Critique! OK, campers! With LaFollette and I switching our customary Newsletter roles, it is your beloved Prez that will supply you with LaFollette's normal curt and spicy review of Wednesday night's BLF halftime extravaganza. I know I have large shoes to fill, but here goes:
Halftime attendees at the Portland game were treated to an engaging display of interpretive dance brought to us by a group of mothers and girls whose professional name I sadly cannot supply. As usual, the BLF halftime announcer (an anonymous guy – I don't think it was Ace McKay - doing his standard imitation of a trapped coal miner) mumbled their actual moniker and left me to speculate as to just whom it was I was viewing. It sounded to me like the announcer called them something like "The Flowers of Spring". However it might also have been "The Carmel Dance Academy from Hell." I cannot be sure.
Anyway the dance gala they supplied was a welcome change from the mass Air Force swearing-in ceremony that The Suits tried to pass off as entertainment at the New Orleans game. I'm as patriotic as the next guy, but I like my bread and circuses. That New Orleans Swearing-in thing left me longing for the more reliably entertaining and certainly less warlike cavortings of our beloved frisbee-catching dogs.
The Nameless Dance Academy was not warlike. Sporting pink, azure, and pale green spandex, a bevy of mothers (some of whom looked kind of hot to me) and what appeared to be an assortment of their nubile and prepubescent daughters -- took to the BLF hardwood and immediately and energetically began gamboling about.
The moms of the Academy went first, commendably twisting, gyrating, contorting, and grinding to the accompaniment of Foreigner's "You're as Cold as Ice." I don't know about other 55ers (who, perhaps seeing what was coming, quickly and wisely left the premises to get beer), but I, for one, was left mute and slackjawed at the wholesome amateurishness and arctic asexuality of the mothers' dancing. Rapt in the spectacle, I soon felt "cold as ice" myself just watching it all. Perhaps that was the intent. The mom's number was, indeed, a telling paean to sexual frigidy and after viewing it, I felt pangs of sympathy for the deprivation that their poor husbands were undoubtedly experiencing.
The "Cold as Ice" moms were followed by their warmer daughters, who, clad in stretchy pink and trying to emulate their maternal forbears, then did a lot of moving about while an invisible sound machine belted out The Capitols old and justifiably forgotten hit, "Cool Jerk". It was kind of cute. I cannot deny that watching the nymphets twist and turn caused wellsprings of repressed memories and forgotten emotions to bubble up in my heart. Prepubescent dancing to lyrics like "They know I'm the king of the coooool jerks!" invariably has that effect on me.
There was still more! After the "Cool Jerk" number, more of the nymphets segued into a cheery holiday interpretation of "Baby It's Cold Outside" Personally, I liked the "Cool Jerk" thing better, but hey, I'm a soul type of guy and kind of a "cool jerk" in my own right.
After it all ended and The Nameless Dance Academy left the floor I was left to speculate if The Suits had booked The Academy as a crass money-saving measure. Scrooges that they are, I suspect this was so. A hint to The Suits: Psst, sometimes you get better entertainment if you pay for it.
My rating for The Nameless Dance Academy? Well, unfortunately just a C. But on the upside, I thought they were a lot better than the Air Force Swearing-in Ceremony.
Back to Basketball with Fighting Jon LaFollette! We're already six weeks into the season, but tonight's match up with the Denver Nuggets at the homey confines of Bankers Life is only the third back-to-back home stand for the Pacers this year, and just their eighth home game overall. In short, our boys in the blue and gold have spent more than half their season on the road (where they have posted a scrappy 5-7 record). Thus, it is extremely important that they make the most of their sporadic returns to the Circle City.
After dropping four of their first six games, the Pacers have recently rallied to win six of their last eight, including a dramatic last second win in Los Angeles and a pugnacious victory over the ever-resilient Bulls. The team is currently a half game behind Chicago in the Central Division. While the team's offense (Roy's in particular) has at times been stagnant and bereft of baskets, their league-leading defense has been stingy enough to keep the majority of games close and give the team a chance to win. Laying waste to Denver tonight would give the Pacers their first three-game win streak of the season, and push them to a mark of 11-9. Let's get it done!
G2? More Like G-Pew! Stating the obvious - Paul George stunk it up over a three-game stretch last week. Against the Lakers, Kings and Warriors, PG shot an abysmal 23 percent from the field on 7-of-31 shooting, (laying an egg in Oakland) while almost completely shirking his abilities as a defender. To be blunt, Paul was a non factor - something he absolutely cannot be in the absence of Danny Granger. But rather than sulk, PG manned up and took to the practice court hard (as he does in those nifty "Gold Swagger" commercials) and lobbed 500 shots in a single practice (proven by a picture he posted on his Instagram account). Whether it was the extra reps, divine province, or some of Michael Jordan's secret stuff (which helped the Looney Tunes thwart the MonStars in Space Jam), PG's shots have markedly improved in the last two games. He has since posted 56 points on 21-of-40 shooting (52 percent). He'll have to keep it up against Denver's Andre Iguodala - a scrappy defender who creates problems for opposing teams with his strength and length (a dangerous duo of rhyming adjectives if I ever heard one).
Get SWATTED!!! According to Hoop Data's advanced stats, Roy is making just 42 percent of his shots within two feet of the rim, and only 38 percent within three to nine feet. This season has been Double Nickel's worst offensive outing of his career. But where he's been an enigma when it comes to scoring, defensively, he's the biggest component (literally) to the Pacers' success. Averaging a career high in blocks per game (3.12 - second only to Oklahoma City's Serge Ibaka), and protecting the rim better than he's ever done, Hibbert anchors what the Pacers are best at - getting stops and keeping games tight enough for their stunted and sporadic offense to pull out a win. Roy's objectives tonight will be twofold. Contain Nuggets starting center, and Greek American, Kosta Koufos, whom Roy should have no trouble pushing around, as well as their boneheaded sixth man JaVale McGee, who often finishes games for the Nuggets, and, in actuality poses a far more formidable match up than Koufos for Hibbert.
More on Moron McGee JaVale McGee (traded to Denver last year from the Washington Wizards) is somewhat similar to Roy as far as their respective style of play goes. Both are more prone to defend than they are to score (although Roy wins out in both categories I believe); both, rebound well given their size, and, despite being seven feet or taller, neither of them is really known for his physical prowess. What separates Roy from JaVale is intellect and basketball IQ. Where Roy graduated with a degree in government from Georgetown and has been named an All-Star, Javale possess the thinking capabilities of a rock. This is highly fitting since he now plays for a team associated with mining.
Whether it's attempting to dunk from the free throw line (something he tried twice in the same week no less), alley-ooping to himself and then saluting his own efforts while his team is down six, or mistakenly running to the wrong end of the court while his team has the ball, dare I say no other player in the last five years has been more ineptly entertaining than JaVale? He's had so many bloopers, he was given his own countdown on YouTube. Watch them and enjoy!
Every one of the above highlights (or low-lights) involved McGee in a Wizards uniform. Since moving to Denver, his most laughably bad decisions have virtually disappeared (credit Denver coach George Karl) and McGee's talents (especially his quickness) are beginning to receive attention around the league. He had a breakout series in last season's playoffs against the Lakers where he averaged 9 points, 10 boards and 3 blocks in 7 games.
Rocky Mountain Hype Aside from the aforementioned McGee and Iguodala, the Nuggets sport a talented roster that includes point guard Ty Lawson (currently in his fourth year), second year sensation Kenneth Farried who has been dubbed the "mannimal" for his tenacious rebounding abilities (During his last visit here Area 55ers taunted Farried with "Whoopi Goldberg" chants - an homage to his Predator-esque dreads), and Danilo Gallinari (whom I jokingly christened The Italian Stallion). Gallinari was among those traded to Denver in last year's blockbuster deal that sent Carmelo Anthony to New York and Chauncey Billups ultimately winding up with the Clippers. An unsung, but equally notable player, is Denver's backup point guard, Andre Miller, currently in his 13th year. While getting long in the tooth, Miller is still capable of posting solid numbers on any given night (He's had a 17 point and a 19 point effort early this year).
NBA die-hards might recall many stat-geeks drooling over the Nuggets before the beginning of this season. Indeed, a host of complex math formulas and arcane statistical projections had the Denver making it to the Western Conference Finals - and perhaps the NBA Finals. Former Pacer Reggie Miller, during a TNT broadcast, balked at such notions and the whole idea of "guys in lab coats" predicting the outcome of NBA games.
Thus far, Reggie seemed to have it right. The Nuggets have been relatively underwhelming given all the pre-season hype that surrounded them. Tonight, they stroll into Naptown on the second game of a five game road trip sporting a 9-10 record (including a 108-104 loss Tuesday night in Atlanta). As an excuse for Denver's lackluster start, the team's proponents have pointed to a brutal schedule -- with only 6 of their first 19 games played at home. This is a legitimate point, but I'd be quicker to point out two other factors; shoddy defense, and inconsistent shooting.
George Karl has long been known as a run-and-gun coach who loves to push tempo and get up and down the court. He adheres to the philosophy that the best defense is a good offense. As a result, in allowing 104 points per 100 possessions, the Nuggets have the seventh worst defense in the league. Much like Phoenix Suns and Dallas Mavericks of yesteryear, the Nuggets simply try to outgun their opponents. In putting up 103 points per 100 possessions, Denver's point production is good enough to make them the tenth best offensive team in the NBA. But an offense is only as good as its players (duh), and the Nuggets are a team with streaky shooters aplenty. As a team, they shoot just 46% from the field (just 1% better than the league average). True, they have the potential to be potent on any given night. But where there's feast, there's famine.
For every night that Ty Lawson puts up 32 points on 12-of-16 shooting (as he did against Atlanta), there are other nights where he'll go 0-for-7, 3-for-12 or 4-for-13 and virtually disappear from the game. Ditto for Iguodala and Gallnari, who have also struggled to find their stride this season. But while Denver's guards and wings are prone to struggle on any given night, the Nuggets' big men that carry them. The bigs grab a league-leading 35 offensive rebounds per game. With that kind of offensive rebounding occurring, a wayward guard shooting an ill-advised three now and then isn't regarded as a major tragedy. I predict that tonight's game will be won by rebounding, with the Pacers' stiff D looking to slow a fast running offense.
Well, enough of this! Time to belch this out. Remember to wear some grey tonight for brain cancer awareness. And be feisty and nasty. We want our boys to keep the wins, particularly at home, coming!

I have this painted water pitcher and I was wondering about how old it is? It looks like someone put some wallpaper or cloth on the base to protect it and I don't think that it is indicative of its age. Also, if anyone knows anything about this type of art or style or period, all information is appreciated. Thanks!

As others have said, she's there to get the minimum TES. That specific goal combined with the fact that she knew all eyes were on her to see whether she still had it after her long absence from competition perfectly explains that SP performance. Frankly, I thought she did a great job all things considered.

I'm just happy to see her again at competition..
Yu-Na gets the highest SP score of the season, with only Level 3's on all of her elements. I love it! LMAO! It would be really cool if she actually only went for Level 3's in the future and just focused on doing great positions and tons of speed in the spins, but I know her team is going to force her to cram in the ugly positions to get Level 4's - like that attempted hop in her combination spin, which is NOT cute, and the attempted change-of-edge at the end of the flying camel, which really slows the whole thing down and she also didn't get credit for. Go for the +GOE's here, not the Levels!! It makes the whole program look better!
Actually, though, she could get Level 4's on all of the spins and still have them look better than what is currently choreographed:
Flying Camel features - difficult entrance, upside down position, donut position (Yu-Na did this in the past), and the more upright catch-foot position (which she currently does).
Layback features - sideways position, switch to classic position with clear increase of speed, haircutter position, beillman position
Combination Spin features - open with camel spin on the left foot and do a change of edge (it's easier and cleaner looking, for Yu-Na at least, to do this on her left foot as opposed to changing edge on the right foot in the flying camel), down into pike sit-spin position, change feet and do the corkscrew position (doesn't have to be in a full sit, just whatever she prefers most and would look best), and then up into a cross-foot upright position (instead of the catch-foot upright, please for the love of GOD!), before ending with a quick scratch spin.

Yuna's layout:
--------2nd half
She was clean in all her jumps. Her 3Lz+3T was beautifully done.
Hope her stamina holds up.
To get about two and a half more points she could flip the 2A and 3S combos with 2A+3T and 3S+2T+2L. Maybe at Worlds, eh?

Yuna scored over 200 points at NRW Trophy. She made some mistakes in her free program but it was beautifully performed, I feel.
The mistakes were towards the second half, suggesting she still lacks enough stamina to get to the end:
3Lutz+3Toe (clean)
3Flip (clean)
3Salchow (clean)
3Lutz (clean)
1Axel+1Toe+1Loop (intended to be 2A+2T+2L)
3Salchow+2Toe (fall on 2T)
2Axel (clean)
Great jumps and a great performance, though! I love this program and the choreography.

Bizline: Get your tutorial on with BizBolts
October 22, 2012
A: BizBolts is a collection of multimedia tutorials covering the 'nuts and bolts' of business start-up information. We help aspiring entrepreneurs and time-strapped small business owners navigate the maze of start-up details. While there is lots of information available on the Internet and from other resources, you can waste hours and days looking through it all. And, if you 'don't know what you don't know', it's difficult to search effectively. We put the information together in a graphical format that's easy to navigate, offers virtual handholding, and includes valuable links and resources.We plan on offering workshops in the county because we know lots of people have set up or would like to launch their ventures here.
A: Both of us have lived in Summit County for years. We decided to launch our Web business here because it gives us the best of everything – a great place to work, a great place to play! Above all, we're about balance.
A: Both of us have started and managed a variety of small companies selling both products and services, across many industries. Wendy has extensive manufacturing experience, and she was a pioneer in going to China, before it became a business standard. She has helped small companies sell their products on QVC and other in-demand markets. Cate's experience is in marketing and Internet business. She was the first employee and VP of marketing for a start-up that was subsequently acquired by a larger, publicly held company. It's the breadth and depth of experience that allows us to bring the greatest value and lots of ideas.
A: We bridge the gap between do-it-yourself, learn-as-you-go on the one end, and finding and hiring experts to do it all for you on the other. The first costs little or no money but lots of time and dead-ends, and the potential for big mistakes. The other one costs a lot more and may be prohibitive for some entrepreneurs. We also are unique in that we look at the big picture. Many start-up services focus only on one thing like financials or business plans. We cover every important business topic, including marketing. Our multimedia tutorials are fast and easy. The information is presented in a clear, helpful way. We call it 'virtual' handholding. If you need 'real' handholding, we offer affordable consulting services as well.
A: As two women of a certain age (let's say one mature and one baby-boomer!), we hope to work with other women entrepreneurs and small business owners. Yet we are interested in helping aspiring entrepreneurs of all kinds. Anyone who is really serious about their business idea!
A: We hope to license our tutorials to schools, franchises and any organization looking for an easy, fun way to help people bring their business ideas to life and operate a successful venture.
