ORLANDO, Fla. - The mother of a Polk County girl who committed suicide after she was bullied said at a news conference on Monday that she plans to file a wrongful death lawsuit against those responsible for her daughter's death.
Her attorney, Matt Morgan, would not say who is named on the lawsuit.
It's the first time Tricia Norman talked after the state dropped charges against the two girls accused of bullying her daughter. Guadalupe Shaw and Katelyn Roman will not be prosecuted on felony charges of aggravated stalking.
Norman says she was saddened by the dismissal of the charges because it sends a message that is bullying is acceptable.
"I feel like I'm living a nightmare and I can't wake up," Norman said. "I keep waiting for apologies I now know will never come."
Norman is also looking to see changes in bullying laws. A Florida statute addresses bullying and just this summer cyber-bullying was included. But some argue the law is difficult to enforce and prosecute.
Attorney Morgan says the law in its current form does not make bullying a punishable crime. They are hoping to "draft and enact a law which criminally punishes bullies for their conduct," said Morgan. The law would be called "Rebecca's law."
Morgan says they have sponsors at the highest level for an anti-bullying federal law that would federal law requiring schools to follow strict rules and regulations.
The civil lawsuit could have challenges. According to a report from Polk County Sheriff's Office, in November 2012, Sedwick accused her mother of physical abuse. Sedwick told a deputy she was afraid of her mother hitting her because her mother had backhanded her several times.
Sedwick also said her mother burned her by pushing her into hot coals from a fireplace. Sedwick later admitted she made the claims up.
Morgan believes the report will have no affect on the lawsuit because the sheriff's office said the claims were unfounded, as did the Department of Children and Families.
"She had a very loving home life Trisha Norman is a fantastic mom.," Morgan said.
On NBC's "Today" show last week, one of the accused tormentors, Katelyn Roman, said, "it's not OK to bully. You should stand up when you have a chance to stand up to bullies."
While she claimed she did nothing wrong, the middle school student is now taking a stand against it.
The Polk County sheriff initially accused the teen and her friend of terrorizing Sedwick for the past year.

DETROIT - It's time once again for me to put on my certified financial planner hat and talk a little bit about your money.
Let's start with understanding your credit score and managing it so it works better for you.
The first thing many people wonder is why credit reporting even exists.
Credit card, mortgage lenders and auto loan companies need to know if you are a credit risk.
They use what's known as a FICO score, which is short for Fair Isaac and Company - the company that developed the computer software predicting your ability to pay on time based on your past history.
There are three credit bureaus monitoring your credit: Experian, TransUnion and Equifax.
FICO scores start at a low of 620 and go to 850. This year, the average score is right about the 700 level.
TransUnion rates metro Detroit 81st out of 143 U.S. cities with an average credit score of 743, which is actually pretty good.
There are five things used to create those scores.
First and foremost is payment history, whether you pay on time is 35 percent of your score.
Credit utilization is 30 percent, maxing out your credit cards hurt your scores.
Fifteen percent is the length of your credit history. So, a kid out of college doesn't fare so well.
Your total credit and how many types of credit you have make up the last 20 percent.
The biggest question people have is how to I fix poor credit?
The answer is simple: pay your bills on time.
If you have not been able to pay on time recently, you can fix that over time by simply paying on time and paying at least the minimum amount required.
Ignore companies promising to fix your credit. Most cant.
One of the more important things you need to do is watch your credit regularly.
You can do it for free and there are a lot of websites out. But watch out for those websites that say they are free but then charge you a monthly fee.
Websites you can use:

Rookie guard Kevin Murphy did not travel with the Jazz to Sacramento late Friday night, and is expected to be sent to Reno, the Jazz's D-League affiliate on Monday. However, there is a hangup for the first-year player from Tennessee Tech.
The team plans to assign Murphy to the D-League after the weekend, but an injury to starting point guard Mo Williams foot could potentially delay that. Wiliams missed most of Friday's win over the Kings and is listed as doubtful for Saturday's game in Sacramento with what is being called a moderate sprain of his right forefoot. In the event Williams is held out for an extended period of time, the Jazz would likely hang onto Murphy as a last line of defense in the backcourt.
Still, it's hard to envision Murphy still being with the team by Wednesday, when it commences a three-game road trip in New Orleans. He was moved out of the active lineup Friday, when veteran point guard Earl Watson returned from April knee surgery. Murphy has appeared in two games for the 7-6 Jazz, scoring 4 points in 6 minutes.

During her basketball playing days at San Jose State University, Homestead girls basketball coach Jessica Kellogg did a lot of shooting from behind the three-point arc. In fact, no woman in Spartans history launched more three-point attempts in a season than Kellogg's 212 during 2002-'03. And her 168 career makes still share second place on the SJSU all-time list.
Now, Kellogg is developing quite a crew of long-distance operators in her first season at Homestead. Averaging more than 15 three-point attempts per game, the Mustangs dial up shots from beyond 19 feet, 9 inches more often than most Central Coast Section teams. And, as Monta Vista found out during a 58-47 defeat at Homestead Jan. 11, the Mustangs can connect.
Six girls combined to make eight of 18 three-pointers, helping boost Homestead to 3-0 and a share of first place in the El Camino Division of the Santa Clara Valley Athletic League and to 6-9 overall. It was the second win of the week for the Mustangs, following a 38-27 triumph at Fremont, and fifth in seven games after a 1-7 start.
Junior Alison Takahashi and senior Becky Chiu each drilled a pair of threes, while sophomore Megan Wong, senior Megan Morita and freshmen Lindsey Nishimoto and Nicolette Conkin added one apiece.
The eight treys were one shy of the Mustangs' season high. They hit 9 of 24 three-pointers in a 56-50 loss to Woodside during the Cupertino Classic tournament last month. Homestead's season total of 61 was fourth highest among Santa Clara County teams as of Jan. 14, behind only Pinewood (122), Archbishop Mitty (74) and Westmont (69).
Free throw shooting also was a huge factor in the win over Monta Vista. Homestead jumped out to a 17-9 lead in the first quarter and added on to make it 30-19 at halftime and 48-33 at the end of the third quarter. With a season-high 27 attempts, the Mustangs enjoyed a 20-9 advantage at the foul line, as Takahashi (7 for 10), Nishimoto (5 for 8) and Chiu (4 for 4) did much of the work.
Nishimoto led all scorers with 14 points and delivered team highs of five rebounds and five steals. Takahashi scored 13 points, Chiu tallied 10, Conkin and Wong had seven apiece and Morita added five. Junior Kameko Oshiro added a free throw and five assists, while senior Nikki Shahriyari scored one free throw and blocked three shots.
The Matadors (0-4, 5-9) were paced by 10 points each from seniors Megan Tsao and Ashley Hu and nine from junior Stephanie Jennings. Senior Nassim Moallem contributed seven.
Two nights earlier, Monta Vista outscored Santa Clara in three of four quarters, but a 20-7 second-quarter blitz propelled the visiting Bruins to an 11-point halftime lead and ultimately a 52-46 win. Jennings (14), junior Jacqueline Yee (12) and Tsao (10) paced the Matadors' scoring.
Meanwhile, defenses dominated play during Homestead's win at Fremont. Both teams shot poorly from the field and the foul line, but the Mustangs took control of the game by outscoring the Firebirds 23-5 during the middle periods.
Shahriyari (7 points, 8 rebounds) and junior Zoe Tentoglou (7, 7) shared scoring honors for Homestead and combined with setnior Courtney Carroll (10 rebounds) to control the backboards, 43-20.
Fremont junior Amra Sivic led all scorers with 13 points and combined with twin sister Alma for 10 rebounds and six blocked shots.
The Firebirds (1-3, 7-9) earned their first division win at Cupertino, 35-19, on Jan. 11. Alma Sivic scored 13 and senior Tieni Tuipulotu tallied eight to lead the way. Amra Sivic and senior Mallory Shiroyama each added six and senior Rebecca McKinley had two.
Leading 25-17 after three quarters, Fremont secured the win by holding the Pioneers to just two points in the fourth. Sophomore Olivia Wissig scored six for Cupertino (0-3, 2-13) and freshmen Kristen Nagamatsu and Nikita Devdhar each added four.
After finishing last week as El Camino co-leaders, just ahead of Santa Clara (3-1) and Mountain View (2-1), Homestead and Los Altos were to square off on Jan. 16. Games scheduled for Friday, Jan. 18, 6:15 p.m., include Mountain View at Homestead, Los Altos at Cupertino and Monta Vista at Fremont. Games set for Jan. 23, 7 p.m., include Fremont at Los Altos, Homestead at Santa Clara, and Cupertino at Mountain View.
De Anza Division
Lynbrook made it three in a row to start league play with wins over Los Gatos, 62-52, and Palo Alto, 33-30.
Juniors Sara Dyslin (19 points) and Annie Song (16) and senior point guard Emily Fong (9) were scoring leaders for the Vikings (3-0, 13-2) at Los Gatos (1-3, 5-10). Senior Jackie Hudepohl and Dyslin pumped in 13 apiece for Paly (2-1, 6-8).
The victories kept Lynbrook a step ahead of Gunn (2-0, 9-3) and Wilcox (2-1, 14-1).
After trying to extend their win streak at Milpitas (0-3, 6-8) on Jan. 16, the Vikings will host Gunn on Jan. 18, 6:15 p.m., and play at Saratoga (1-3, 12-4) on Jan. 23, 7 p.m.
Lynbrook defeated Gunn back on Dec. 1, 63-52 in the championship game of the Sandi Stober Classic.

All two games of it. Was it even two games? Basically all Portland game of it I guess. Now the officials arent making foul calls again and the NBA needs to reassess the flagrant foul rules and Eric Spoelstra doesnt know how to draw up offensive plays. Dwayne Wades leg hurts again all of a sudden. At least they didnt pull the whole array of excuses out after this one game..
OH WAIT! They did.
I love this rivalry, but the way the Heat act when it pertains to the Pacers, is kind of embarrassing. The way they talk. Especially Chris Bosh. They way he talks so glib about these games before they're played. The Bosh comment when he was asked if Oden was a Hibbert stopper. " Was he going crazy before ", Bosh said. Well actually, yes Chris. He's dominated you in the last 13 games of this rivalry.
I want to respect these guys like i might have respect for the Patriots when it comes to Colts v Pats rivalry, but they make it really really hard.

Art was bringing the generations together in Melksham last week, at a series of half-term workshops.
Children from the town have been coming through the week to the sessions at the Canberra Centre, which were organised by Wiltshire children's charity Splash. They were joined by ten pensioners, who have been sharing their memories with the children.
Artist Toni Dickinson has been running the sessions. She said: "It's an intra-generational project to encourage older people and younger people to work together, and what's come out of it is that the children have loved having the older people around; they've been cooking pancakes with them, and swapping skills.
"We want to leave some sort of legacy for the town.
"We've been talking about Remembrance Day and why they have to keep it going, they've talked about what life was like when they were young, and we've made a lot of poppies which we want to give to Melksham Council for a permanent display."
Simone Matthews, operations coordinator at Splash, said: "It's just inspiring younger people to look at these people as living history. They are not just older people, but people who have had amazing lives."

|Impact of Early Post-Operative Water Exposure on Complications of Cutaneous Surgeries
- Post-operative wound infection [ Time Frame: Post-operative day 7 to 14 ]
- Incidence of post-operative bleeding complications [ Time Frame: Post-operative day 7 to 14 ]
- Scar appearance [ Time Frame: 6 months post-operatively (+-5 days) ]Using a non-invasive scoring tool, participants and a blinded physician will rate the appearance of the scar 6 months after the surgery.
- Quality of Life [ Time Frame: Post-operative days 7 to14 ]Using a validated survey, information on the participants' quality of life will be assessed.

|Estimated Study Completion Date:
|January 2019
|Estimated Primary Completion Date:
|December 2018 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
Active Comparator: Early Water Exposure
The Intervention group will receive written and verbal instructions to remove the dressing after 6 hours and wet the wound for at least 10 minutes. Wetting of the wound will include shower, tub bath, or pool exposure.
Behavioral: Early Water Exposure
The Early Water Exposure (Intervention) group will receive written and verbal instructions to remove the dressing after 6 hours and wet the wound for at least 10 minutes. Wetting of the wound will include shower, tub bath, or pool exposure.
On subsequent days, all participants, regardless of group assignment, will wash the wound daily with soap and water, reapply white petrolatum and a dry dressing.
No Intervention: Standard Care
The Standard Care group will receive standard wound care instructions and verbal education by the staff to keep the dressing dry and intact for 48 hours.
Detailed Description:
Physicians commonly instruct their patients to keep a wound dry for 2 to 3 days following surgery. The rationale may be that sources of water like a shower, bathtub, or swimming pool may increase the risk of infection. There may also be a concern that changing a dressing in the early post-operative period will increase the risk of bleeding complications. However, patient's routines and quality of life are disrupted when they are asked to avoid bathing, exercise, and swimming.
These issues have never been formally studied. This study will test the hypothesis of whether early post-operative wetting will have any influence on infection rates, bleeding complications, or the appearance of a surgical wound. Patients presenting to the Penn State Hershey dermatology clinic for the surgical removal of cancerous or non-cancerous skin lesions will be invited to participate. There will be no change to the standard surgical treatment. The dressing will be the same for all study participants. After surgery, study subjects who consent to participate will be randomized to receive one of two sets of post-operative instructions. One group will be directed to keep their initial post-operative dressing intact and dry for 48 hours. The second group will remove the dressing at 6 hours and wet the wound for 10 minutes in whatever manner they choose (shower, bath, pool, hot tub, etc.). After the initial dressing is removed (at 48 hours or 6 hours), both groups will perform identical post-operative care, consisting of cleansing the wound with soap and water followed by the application of petrolatum ointment and a dry dressing.
All participants will follow-up 7 to 14 days after surgery or earlier if they are experiencing any problems. At this time, the site will be assessed for clinical evidence of infection and bleeding. If the former is present, a bacterial culture will be obtained to confirm a wound infection and patients will be treated with an antibiotic. Physicians performing the assessment will be blinded to the patient's status (early wetting group or not). All subjects will also complete a questionnaire inquiring how and when they wet their wounds after surgery as well as two questionnaires asking how their quality-of-life and function were affected. Participants will again follow-up at 6 months when a blinded investigator will assess the cosmetic appearance of the scars using an established scar rating tool.
The data from this study will provide valuable evidence based guidance to surgeons in drafting wound care instructions for their patients. If the hypothesis proves correct, patients may be spared the inconvenience of post-operative water avoidance, diminishing the disruption to their lives caused by skin surgery.

Manning Match-Up Week 13 - November 26-28
Tuesday, November 24, 2009
This is the last edition of featured Manning Match-Ups as 10 finalists will be announced on Monday, November 30th. The Manning Award winner will be selected from those 10 finalists upon completion of the bowl season on January 14, 2010.Eight games this week feature Manning Award Watch Listers facing each other, but the selection for this week's Manning Match-Up is Nevada at No. 6 Boise State (11/27, 9 p.m. CT, ESPN2). The Wolf Pack is led by junior quarterback Colin Kaepernick, while the Broncos boast sophomore Kellen Moore.
This crucial Western Athletic Conference game will decide the league's championship. The Wolf Pack currently lead the WAC at 7-0 (8-3 overall), while Boise State is right behind them with a 6-0 conference mark (11-0 overall). Boise is looking to go undefeated and possibly earn a bid to its second BCS bid in program history, however, a loss would likely knock the Broncos out of contention. Nevada, meanwhile, has won eight straight games by an average margin of victory of 29.0 points per game.
Last week, Nevada became the first team in NCAA history with three 1,000-yard rushers. Kaepernick, a splendid dual-threat quarterback, is one of the 1,000-yard rushers with 132 carries for 1,129 yards and 16 scores. Through the air, he has completed 139-of-231 passes for 1,734 yards with 16 touchdowns and just five interceptions.
Through 10 games this season, Moore leads the nation in passing efficiency at 172.49. He has also thrown the most touchdown passes of any quarterback in the country with 33, while also tossing just three interceptions. He has the chance to register the top touchdown-to-interception ratio in FBS history this year. For the season, he has completed 218-of-329 passes for 2,791 yards.

Manning Award Stars of the Week
From the players currently on the Watch List for the Manning Award, here are some of the standout stars from week 12:
Levi Brown, Troy (27-of-36, 477 yards, 3 TDs, 1 INT)
Max Hall, BYU (33-of-45, 377 yards, 5 TDs, 2 INTs)
Dan LeFevour, Central Michigan (25-of-28, 344, 4 TDs, 0 INT)
Jeremiah Masoli, Oregon (26-of-47, 284 yards, 3 TDs, 1 INT)
Colt McCoy, Texas (32-of-41, 396 yards, 4 TDs, 0 INT)
Manning Award Players to Watch
While the final additions have been made to the Manning Award Watch List, all quarterbacks remain eligible to win the award. Here's a look at 12th-week numbers from quarterbacks who are not on the Watch List:
B.J. Daniels, South Florida (20-of-34, 304 yards, 1 TD, 0 INT)
Joey Elliott, Purdue (21-of-29, 205 yards, 4 TDs, 0 INT)
Nick Foles, Arizona (30-of-46, 314 yards, 4 TDs, 1 INT)
Mike Kafka, Northwestern (26-of-40, 326 yards, 2 TDs, 0 INT)
The Manning Award was created by the Allstate Sugar Bowl in honor of the college football accomplishments of Archie, Peyton and Eli Manning. It is the only quarterback award that takes into consideration the candidates' bowl performances.
While the preseason Watch List included 38 quarterbacks, 10 more signal-callers were added at midseason and every quarterback in the nation remains eligible for the honor. Ten finalists will be determined by a selected panel of national media covering college football, as well as each of the Mannings. That list will be released on Monday, Nov. 30. The winner will be announced on Thursday, Jan. 14.
The first five winners of the Manning Award reads like a Who's Who list at the quarterback position. USC's Matt Leinart was the inaugural winner of the award in 2005, followed by Texas' Vince Young in 2006. Both went on to be top 10 NFL draft picks. In 2007, LSU's JaMarcus Russell earned the award and was the NFL's No. 1 draft pick. Boston College's Matt Ryan claimed the award in 2008 and was drafted No. 3, quickly becoming the starting quarterback for the Atlanta Falcons. Last year's winner was Florida's Tim Tebow, who is bidding to become the first repeat winner this season.

MANAGER Paul Collicutt has demanded an improvement in discipline from Evesham United if they want to be successful.
The Robins are without four suspended players for Saturday's visit of sixth-from-bottom Thatcham (3pm), which would be United's first game since December 28 following postponements against Merthyr and Taunton.
Centre-half Alton Axton starts a three-game ban, while keeper Louie Barnfather, left-back and captain Richard Mansell and midfielder Neil Barnfield all serve one-game suspensions.
But keeper John Bateman (hip) is fit to return and new defensive signings Will Wellon and Dan Watkin, the latter from Hellenic League side Hook Norton, are both set for their debuts.
Collicutt said of the bans: "It's not ideal.
"The discipline over the past year or so at Evesham hasn't been the best and it's something we have got to make a marked improvement on.
"We need to keep 11 players on the park but we haven't done that since I have been here on two or three occasions. We have got too many lads getting booked.
"In their defence, I would say the standard of refereeing isn't the best."
Evesham, who are two places above Thatcham, hope to finally kick off 2014 and recover from the 6-2 Calor Southern League Division One South and West defeat at home to Wimborne.
The United boss added: "It's been a frustrating time.
"I think the weather forecast is reasonable between now and the weekend.
"We trained on Tuesday and that was the first time we had done anything since December 28.
"It was a bit of a shock to the system but we are looking forward to playing on Saturday.
"The main thing is to get the game on and then I can worry about what I am going to do in terms of selection."
The Robins have extended the loan of teenage midfielder Ed Williams from Cheltenham Town for another month.
- Evesham's match at Taunton will now be on Tuesday, February 18 (7.45pm).

Abad off to a stellar start in 2014
BOSTON -- In an A's bullpen that's allowed 11 earned runs over the last five games heading into Saturday, Fernando Abad remains untouchable.
Oakland's lefty hasn't given up a run over his first 12 outings, spanning 11 2/3 innings, and has struck out 14 of the 41 batters he's faced.
His 12th trip to the mound was maybe the biggest to date -- and perhaps the most fun to watch. Even Abad smiled and said, "Yeah, that was a good one."
David Ortiz was the batter in a one-run game with one out and runners at second and third in the fifth inning on Friday. Abad fell behind, 2-0, on back-to-back sliders, then fought his way back into the count with four straight fastballs. At 3-2, Abad went back to his slider, and this time didn't miss, freezing Ortiz with a perfect pitch for a called third strike.
Abad was then ordered to intentionally walk Mike Napoli to get to Grady Sizemore, who went down swinging to end the frame.
"I don't know, at the time, what a bigger role in the game was than that," said manager Bob Melvin. "We're down, 2-1, and have runners on base. He comes in, and if it gets away from us there, then the game goes in a different direction.
"His outs are prominent to begin with, maybe not the clean-inning type of thing in the eighth, at this point. But we're using him with guys on base when we need to get a big out against the lefty, and he's been very successful with that."
Left-handers are hitless with eight strikeouts in 14 at-bats this year against Abad, who has handled righties just fine, too. They're 2-for-23 (.087) off the confident lefty, who could begin seeing more complete innings because of his continued success against hitters from both sides of the plate.
"He is fearless when he's out there, very confident in his stuff -- and it shows," said Melvin. "And there's something to that. If you're seeing it, the hitter's seeing it, too. There are some guys out there that have some trepidation, and I think hitters sense that, too. Other guys are very confident when they go out there, no matter what the situation is, and he exudes that."

J.C. Penney Capitulates
The capitulation is complete. Just one year and lots of cash burn later, J.C. Penney (JCP) CEO Ron Johnson admits "he made some big mistakes last year." The biggest mistake was yanking sales away from addicted bargain hunters without bothering to test the reaction. Johnson is a fan of truth on price tags in the form of everyday low pricing (EDLP). The problem is that the consumer does not perceive truth as a reason to buy. Now having posted four of the worst consecutive quarters of same-store sales declines in the history of retail, JCP is bringing back -- you guessed it! -- sales. But Johnson would prefer the word gift in some cases (that is, coupons are really gifts).
While we saw the return of the dirty word (sale) as inevitable, the question is: Is it too late? Comps this quarter hit a yearly low of 31.7% while online sales plunged 34%. Conversion rates (-10%) and traffic (-17%) are not moving in the right direction. The bottom line is that JCP customers have headed for the exit and it might take a lot of begging to get them back. With gross margins already down more than 600 basis points (bps) this quarter, driving traffic back in the stores will not be inexpensive. Translation: big sales, even lower gross margins....176 more words left in this article. To read them, just click below and try Real Money FREE for 14 days.

LAKE COUNTY -- The Salvation Army, which serves residents throughout Lake County, is in need of volunteer bell-ringers for the Christmas season.
Bell-ringers are asked to ring bells for a two-hour shift of their choosing in front of the area's most popular retailers. Bell ringing will begin on Nov. 21 and will run until Dec. 24.
Student groups are also much needed. High school students could ring bells on behalf of the Salvation Army and earn credits for their mandatory community service hours.
The organization is also looking for businesses to host a kettle on scheduled days and times. Kettle stands can be equipped with the hosting business' information so the public may see firsthand the business' dedication to helping the community.
All the money donated through the red kettles will be used to assist Lake County families. Funds raised through this venture not only finances the organization's Christmas Assistance programs, but also funds programs all throughout the year including utility assistance, disaster assistance, summer camp for disadvantaged youth, back-to-school programs for area students and more.
To sign up to be a volunteer bell ringer, call Barbara Ringenberg, Lake County Service Center coordinator, at 995-1128.
If volunteering is not a possibility, donations to The Salvation Army of Lake County's Christmas Campaign can be made online by visiting GoSalArmy.org.
Checks can be mailed to the Salvation Army Lake County Service Center, 14420 Lakeshore Drive, Suite C, Clearlake, CA 95442.

The winters in DC really aren't too bad. It's generally 7-10 degrees warmer than Indianapolis, sometimes more, and when you're talking about the difference between 30 and 40 degrees its pretty significant. Winter still sucks here, but its somewhere in between the really cold winters of the Midwest and the more tolerable winters in the northern areas of the south. Other than 2011, I have never seen what I would call really significant snow here. We'll get snow on a couple occasions but it usually melts the same week. This year, however, its been so bitterly cold the snow has been on the ground for awhile, I forgot how depressing it is.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I like going back to Indiana, especially in the spring and fall, but the winters (especially) and summers there really suck.

The National Recreational Trails Fund comes from a portion of the federal gas tax generated by the sale of gasoline for use in off-road recreational vehicles such as dirt bikes and all-terrain vehicles. Money from the trail fund goes toward the creation and maintenance of motorized and non-motorized recreational trails. The Federal Highway Administration manages the fund and distributes portions of it to states based on a formula that takes into account the state's population and fuel sales for off-road vehicles. The program provides 80-20 matching grants, so that each case the grant recipient must pay for 20 percent of the total project cost. Dollar amounts shown below are 80 percent of the project cost. The Texas Statewide Trails Advisory Board reviewed the proposals and developed a list of recommended projects for funding based on the quality of the project, its cost effectiveness, its impact on recreational trail opportunities and geographic distribution of funds.

text: I had never stayed at the Savoy Park hotel in Ayr before however I shall definitely return! I thoroughly recommend the hotel in every department - especially the vast selection on their menu and the quality of everything I ate! There are many hotels both on Racecourse Road, and in Ayr generally, but this is by FAR the best hotel I've stayed in. 9.8 out of 10 from me as 10 would mean perfection and nobody's perfect...but Savoy Park Hotel does come close!

PCMR and Talisker hit courtroom
October 30, 2012
An attorney for a firm under the Talisker umbrella Tuesday morning accused Park City Mountain Resort of using "scare tactics and spin" in a legal case centering on leases that could ultimately decide the fate of the resort.
Daniel Beller, one of the attorneys representing Talisker Land Holdings, LLC and United Park City Mines, told a judge the case would not result in a loss of jobs at PCMR if the Talisker Land Holdings side prevails in the PCMR-filed lawsuit. He said skiing would continue at the resort and there will not be cows grazing the land.
Beller, speaking to Judge Ryan Harris in Third District Court at Silver Summit, said the court system is not intended to "bail out a party" that did not protect its own interests. He said the PCMR side did not adhere to the terms of the option attached to the lease agreement allowing the resort to operate on the Talisker Land Holdings acreage.
PCMR since it filed the lawsuit last spring has mounted a public-relations campaign in an effort to influence Parkites and other fans of the resort. PCMR has argued upward of 1,200 jobs are at stake in the case.
Beller, though, steered his comments to case itself, saying that the community will not be hurt as PCMR claims it will. Beller appeared the more aggressive of the attorneys who represented the two sides on Tuesday.
The lawsuit, which was filed in March, centers on two leases held by PCMR to operate the resort on ground under the control of the Tailsker firm. PCMR's side contends the leases were properly extended until 2051. Talisker, though, claims PCMR did not comply with the terms of the option to extend the leases.
Recommended Stories For You
Talisker Land Holdings wants the case dismissed. PCMR, in its bid to continue the lawsuit, argues United Park City Mines, now part of the Talisker corporate family, in 2003 represented to state tax officials the expiration of the leases would not be until 2051. In doing so, PCMR says, there was a reduction in property taxes. Talisker should not be able to claim the leases have expired, PCMR says.
But Talisker Land Holdings argues the leases expired on April 30, 2011 after PCMR did not provide written notice it wanted to extend the leases. A letter of confirmation about the lease extensions from PCMR's side was not mailed until after the deadline, Talisker Land Holdings has said.
In his arguments to the judge, PCMR's lead attorney, Alan Sullivan, said the resort verbally communicated its interest in extending the lease over the years and would have provided the written notice by the deadline. He acknowledged the confirmation letter was not sent until after the deadline, though.
He said a breach on PCMR's part, if one occurred, was not significant. The loss of leases would be catastrophic, he said. Sullivan said the Talisker side had the duty to inform PCMR that its belief was the leases had expired. Instead Talisker Land Holdings continued discussions with PCMR about connecting the resort and Talisker-owned Canyons.
Meanwhile, Sullivan said the contested leases do not cover the PCMR parking lots or the lower section of the skiing terrain. He said Talisker Land Holdings does not own the water rights or snowmaking and sewer infrastructure at PCMR. He said there were a number of reasons why Talisker Land Holdings could not simply lease the land to another resort operator or open its own resort there.
The judge did not issue a ruling on Tuesday. Harris will eventually issue a written ruling, but a date for the ruling has not been set.

Total Withdrawal from Classes
A total withdrawal is defined as formally ceasing attendance in any active courses that would end enrollment within a semester, earlier than previously scheduled. This includes part of term courses that do not span the length of time of the entire semester.
Ferris State University has two policies that must be followed when students withdraw from all classes. The two policies are:
- Total Withdrawal Tuition and Housing Refund Policy - This policy deals with crediting charges to students' accounts depending on the point that students withdraw in a semester. If a student withdraws from all their classes during the semester, their account (e.g., tuition, housing, and meals) will be credited using the withdrawal date and percent reflected.
- Federal Financial Aid Refund Policy (mandated by Federal Title IV Regulations) - This policy deals with the returning of federal financial aid to the Title IV Programs.
Click here for information regarding the returns of Title IV Funds..
Please take the time to review the Office of Scholarships & Financial Aid's Withdrawal From All Classes - Things to Consider information.
Any student who completes a total withdrawal will be removed from their payment plan.
A reduction in course load (a class withdrawal) after the fourth (4) day of classes is not a basis for a refund. After the fourth day of the semester a student may withdraw from a course and receive a "W" grade within the established time period. After that time period, without justifiable reasons or neglecting to withdraw from the class through the dean's office, results in a "F" grade.
Refer to the Academic Calendar by Semester for dates to receive a "W" grade in classes.
Student Responsibilities
- It is the student's responsibility to process a withdrawal form if you withdraw from the University on or after the 1st day of class. Total withdrawal forms are processed at the Student Service Center in the Timme building.
Not attending a class does not automatically drop your classes. If you stop attending classes and do not officially withdrawal from the University, a grade of "F" will be recorded in all classes and the student will remain responsible for full tuition and fees.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding the university's withdrawal policy, you can contact the Student Financial Services at the Timme Center for Student Services at (231) 591-3945 Monday thru Friday, between 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.
Tuition, Housing, and Meals - Refund Schedule for Total Withdrawals
Refund schedule for charges when processing a total withdrawal from the University for a Part of Term 1 - full semester session:
|Total Withdrawal Tuition Refund Policy
|Percentage of Refund - Tuition
|Percentage of Refund - Housing
|On or before the first day of classes
|First four days of classes at the beginning
of each semester
(Ex. Fall 2014 Aug. 25 -Aug. 28)
|5th day of classes through 25% of semester
|26% of semester through 50% of semester
|51% of semester and after
The above REFUND SCHEDULE may change without notice to comply with current federal regulations. Refunds are made in cases of TOTAL WITHDRAWAL from the University. A reduction in course load (a class withdrawal), after the 4th day of classes, isNOT A BASIS for a refund. All University charges and credits are used in calculating student refunds. Disciplinary dismissals are not eligible for a refund on tuition or housing.
For other Part of Term sessions, please view the Calendar by Semester for the Last Day to Drop to receive a 100% tuition refund. After the Last Day to Drop, no refund will be issued for a withdrawal for the course(s).

March 18, 2013 — Coral Gables — The University of Miami Frost School of Music presents award winning composer and 2011 Distinguished Alumnus Douglas J. Cuomo as part of the 2012-2013 Stamps Family Distinguished Visitors Series. Cuomo will present a master class on April 8 and also appear in concert later that evening.
Douglas Cuomo has composed highly acclaimed and original music for concert and theatrical stages, television, and film. Elements of jazz, world music, classical, and popular sources can be heard in Cuomo's compositions, and his music is as personal, distinctive, and recognizable as it is wide-ranging. His compositions range from well-known television themes — Sex and the City and Now with Bill Moyers, among others — to large scale works for theater, including the operas Doubt and Arjuna's Dilemma. The free master class will be held at 2:30 p.m. on April 8 in Gusman Hall on the University of Miami Coral Gables campus. Admission is free, but a ticket is required. To reserve, call (305) 284-4940 or visit music.miami.edu/events.
Douglas Cuomo's compositions will be highlighted in concert on April 8 at 8 p.m. at UM Gusman Hall. Cuomo will bring his works to life by describing his compositional process and inspirations, and then perform his own works with Frost faculty members Tony Boutte, Alan Johnson, Brian Lynch, Robynne Redmon, and Frost School of Music students. Program highlights include selections from his opera Doubt, which was recently premiered by Minnesota Opera; selections from A Winter's Journey, a re-imagining of Wilhelm Müller's text used in Schubert's Winterreise song cycle; selections from Arjuna's Dilemma, an opera-oratorio inspired by the Bhagavad Gita; Disbelievers for solo cello; A Far Playground for cello and piano; selections for jazz quintet; and How to Survive in the Woods for vocal quartet.
The Stamps Family Charitable Foundation Distinguished Visitors Series was established a decade ago through the extraordinary vision and generous commitment of E. Roe and Penny Stamps. Annually, the series brings an array of significant artists, scholars and music industry leaders to the Frost School of Music for the educational and artistic enrichment of UM students and the community.

With deep roots in Lake County dating to more than a half-century ago in Kirtland Hills, Shadybrook has perhaps come full circle as a place to explore spiritual traditions and achieve personal growth.
Times have changed since the Layman's Retreat Association in the post-World War II melting pot world sought to help people learn and thrive from their differences. That was in 1955, when the group began to meet at Shadybrook House, one-time Kirtland Hills home of the Arthur Baldwin family that later became headquarters for the Lake County History Center.
Learning from their differences remains the mission among the Shadybrook members and friends who now meet at a church for programming drawn from faiths ranging from Buddhism to Catholicism, Hinduism to spiritualism.
But Shadybrook is by no means a religion.
"Finding joy in life is something we embrace," said Laura Christian Imbornoni, a professional-level yoga instructor and retired longtime director of the Mentor Senior Center.
She's a member of Shadybrook's board of trustees, along with her husband, Steve Imbornoni, an ordained spiritualist minister, who is a psychologist practicing in Beachwood and both a licensed hypnotherapist and massage therapist.
Another trustee is Dean Williams, an ordained Zen Buddhist priest and leader of Shadybrook's current series of meditation workshops. Other board members include an attorney, an educator, a mental health professional and an Internet technology professional.
The diversity of the board reflects not only the diversity of Shadybrook's membership but its programs.
"Since it's where we meet, we tend to be joined at the hip with East Shore Unitarian Church," said Williams, who says he has seen greater and greater numbers of that church's members among those attending his meditation workshops. He tells folks that Shadybrook is welcoming to all spiritual seekers.
"Culturally, we're Jewish, agnostic, atheist, Catholic, pagan, Protestant and none of the above," Laura Imbornoni said.
That would seem to make Shadybrook a good fit for many folks.
A recently released Pew Research Center study found that one in five Americans, or 33 million adults, is religiously unaffiliated -- a 5 percent increase in just the last five years. But, that nationwide survey found, 46 million adults describe themselves as spiritual in some way. More than 55 percent said they felt a connection with nature and the earth and 68 percent professed a belief in God.
"There's no obligation for anyone to agree with something that's presented," Steve Imbornoni said.
Last year, for instance, he presented a program based on hypnosis-based regression therapy, taking hypnotized subjects back to childhood and even to the time before they were born,
"It's a fascinating therapeutic application," he said. "Although Zen Buddhists like Dean and others don't believe in past lives, but belief is not necessary for this program to have validity."
Buddhist priest Williams said he may not subscribe to all the practices presented, "but I'm not dismissive of them either. The intention of all of them is to be beneficial, and people find what is of benefit to them."
Intention is something fostered at Shadybrook, whose members are increasingly forging partnerships and raising money for other organizations intended to serve the greater good.
"Right now we're planning for a Spiritual Spa Day on March 23 that will give people the opportunity to try out a variety of alternative healing modalities," said Beth Bracale, Shadybrook's director of operations and programming. "Beneficiaries will be Forbes House in Lake County and Serpentine Project in Ashtabula."
Chair massages, Reiki, drawing and various meditation techniques will be showcased, and practitioners also will take their skills to Forbes House to administer them to the abused women living there. There will be a nedra yoga healing experience, and drumming for healing is being explored.
Herbalist Leah Wolfe, founder of the Serpentine Project, will be on hand with healing herbs. The Serpentine Project is dedicated to preserving and protecting native plants, learning about their uses and why it's important to protect them.
"The Spiritual Day Spa is a good example of us presenting options and possibilities of different avenues toward healing to help make people aware and to see if there's something they wish to explore further," Steve Imbornoni said. "If there's sufficient interest we sometimes have follow-up experiences."
He said Shadybrook's careful stewardship of an endowment received many years ago allows for it to have the funds to hire employees such as Bracale and not concern itself with constant fundraising efforts to stay afloat.
"We are really blessed in that way," he said.
"In December we had our first fundraiser to benefit Angel House in Strongsville," he said. "They work with the Girls and Boys Club of Cleveland and Girls and Boys Hope of NEOhio to bring in teens and their counselors to experience a day of healing and working together."
Some Shadybrook members expected the eye-rolling response they'd seen before from teens but were delighted to see how instead the young people embraced learning to manage stress and empower themselves.
"They learned journaling, and that was just one tool that has allowed them to share things with their counselors that they'd been unable to talk about," Bracale said.
The experience resulted in several Shadybrook members becoming more closely involved with Angel House and even signing on as volunteers.
Williams says he sees Shadybrook's intent to reach out with support for other organizations as a game changer.
"To me it's such a joy to be able to find out about and learn things in ways that would have been almost impossible before this," Laura Imbornoni said. "We are in such a fast-paced information age that Shadybrook's wide open posture of listening is even more worthwhile now. We give people the chance to sit and focus and spend time looking inward so then they can reach out again."
Shadybrook House
216-556-5683; www.shadybrook.org
Dancing in response to the Kirtan devotional chanting by the group Enchanted Hearts, shown today, will take place again in April.
Shadybrook programming takes a winter break until March because weather becomes an issue. But Dean Williams' meditation sessions take place from 7 to 8:30 p.m. the first Monday of each month at East Shore Unitarian Church, 10848 Chillicothe Road, Kirtland. Fee is $10.

Building any state-of-the art healing facility requires knowledge of special regulations and technical requirements. From complex research hospitals and cancer treatment centers to urgent care buildings and assisted living facilities, healthcare construction projects all include systems that are vital to the success of the facility's operations.
When you study for your healthcare construction management degree at Purdue University, you will focus on the unique features of this sector of the construction industry.
With the rapid growth of technology in the healthcare and hospital construction industry, as well as the increased specialization of the work, it is important for you to understand the regulations and risks associated with these healthcare-related projects. For example, all hospitals have strict regulations for mechanical, electrical, security and medical gas systems. Once you understand the unique issues and components, you will view a hospital design differently than an office building design.
Many healthcare-related construction projects are additions or renovations to existing facilities that must remain operational during construction. Careful and detailed scheduling is another special consideration for professionals in this field.
While the focus is healthcare construction, your courses will also expose you to construction methods and project management skills that can be applied to all construction projects. This major is offered by the School of Construction Management Technology.
Meet our faculty, most of whom have industry experience.
- Take advantage of opportunities to attend national conventions and meet leaders in the healthcare construction world as a member of ASHE (American Society for Healthcare Engineering). Purdue is home to the first student chapter of this organization.
- Obtain ASHE certification as Certified Healthcare Constructor or Certified Healthcare Facilities Manager.
- Be highly marketable to national companies known for healthcare construction because of the specialized nature of this major.
- Gain valuable experience as you complete 800 hours of on-site construction work as part of your graduation requirements.
- Utilize the Polytechnic learning environment to become a career-ready graduate

When I started this blog, it was more for fun-a hobby, if you will. But over time, it became my own little piece of the world. Several weeks ago, my husband made a comment that he probably didn't really give much thought to, but it meant the world to me. He referred to "my business" and not my blog.
As my site has grown and I've gotten more followers, whom I love dearly, amazing opportunities have come my way that I'd never imagined could. I've traveled to LA to attend all kinds of press events and walked the red (which was actually black) carpet. I was invited to spend a day in NYC to meet Queen Latifah, although due to scheduling issues, I wasn't able to meet with her in person, but did get to "Skype" with her. I've been invited to participate in a few Brand Ambassadorships and have a few very exciting things coming up shortly that I'm still in awe of!!
The next step is to figure out, well, the next step. Where do I want to go? What do I want to DO with my site? I decided that I will attend a blogging conference, BlogHer '12, this summer, in NYC. I want to hear from others' perspectives, meet some of the folks I have exchanged emails with for 2 years now, and network, along with learning some new ways to make my site be the best it can be and function nicely for my readers.
My hands shook a little as I confirmed the payment for my tickets- there's no going back now, right? I'd never imagined as a child, nor could you have made me believe for a moment that I would be a business owner. A successful business owner, in my mind, because I'm helping brands reach consumers and giving "regular" moms like me a voice.
It was a big step. 3 days in New York City at a conference. I'm a little bit in awe. My mom would be really, really proud of me right now.
To tell you the truth, I'm kind of really, really proud of me right now, too.
Time to exhale. I took that step. Now to prepare!!
What is YOUR next big step?

Supplementary Vitamin B12 Effects on Elevated Homocysteine Levels of Vegetarians - Clinical Trial
This study has been completed.

- How to Read a Study Record
Vegetarians are known to be deficient in vitamin B12, due to a lack or absence of dietary animal produce, which can elevate homocysteine. There is strong evidence indicating that elevated plasma total homocysteine (tHcy) is a contributor to chronic conditions, such as primary cardiovascular disease (CVD). The study hypothesis is: There will be a significant decrease in plasma tHcy of vegetarians following the intervention by supplementary vitamin B12 (of the methylcobalamin type) and this will lead to a reduction of the risk of CVD.
