USA Swimming Safe Sport HandbookWritten by Katherine Starr
USA Swimming Safe Sport Handbook
There are a lot of great reasons to swim – at any level. As a life‐long activity, people often swim to have fun and spend time with friends. Swimming also encourages a healthy lifestyle and builds self‐confidence. Swimmers even benefit from the sport out of the water. They learn goal‐setting, teamwork and time management skills. Unfortunately, sports, including swimming, can also be a high‐risk environment for misconduct, including physical and sexual abuse. All forms of misconduct are intolerable and in direct conflict with the values of USA Swimming. Misconduct may damage an athlete's psychological well‐being. Athletes who have been mistreated experience social embarrassment, emotional turmoil, psychological scars, loss of self‐esteem and negative impacts on their relationships with family, friends and the sport. Misconduct often hurts an athlete's competitive performance and may cause him or her to drop out of our sport entirely. USA Swimming is committed to fostering a fun, healthy and safe sport enviornment for all its members. We all must recognize that the safety of swimmers lies with all those involved in the sport and is not the sole responsibility of any one person at the club, LSC, or national level.

STAYING IN BOUNDSWritten by Katherine Starr
Why a Policy on Relationships with Student-Athletes?
Sexual relationships between coaches and student-athletes have become a serious problem. NCAA member
institutions must unambiguously and effectively prohibit such relationships to ensure that sport programs offer
a safe and empowering experience for all student-athletes.
This NCAA resource is designed to educate member institutions and their student-athletes about why sexual
or romantic relationships between athletics department staff and student-athletes are inappropriate, how to
avoid those relationships, and what to do if they occur. When adopted and enforced by institutions of higher
learning, this model policy will help create a safe, healthy environment on college campuses. Although most of
the examples offered herein refer to coaches, the policy is intended to provide clear guidance for all members
of the athletics department (including coaches, administrators, athletics trainers, and other staff), as well as
student-athletes and parents.

4 UNIVERSITIES AND HIGH SCHOOLS HANDBOOKWritten by Katherine Starr
Revised Sept 2013
Schools and colleges that are recipients of federal funds are obligated to comply with Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972 and its specific obligations related to sexual harassment and gender equity. Athletics directors should consult with the institution's Title IX coordinator and legal counsel to ensure that all adopted policies and procedures conform to these laws.
Safe4Athletes HandbookWritten by Katherine Starr
Safe4Athletes Handbook revised March 2013
The purpose of this publication is to provide any local sports club with a turnkey program containing the basic policies, procedures, forms, guidelines and educational materials that will enable the club to immediately install a management system that advances athlete safety and welfare. Each document contained in this Handbook is available as a free download in Word format on the Safe4Athletes.org Web site, so it can be customized with the name of the club and appropriate club staff and contact information.
Complaint Process Flow ChartWritten by Katherine Starr
Complaint Process. The Club recognizes how difficult it may be for an athlete or parent to report a coach or staff/volunteer offense because of fear of retaliation against the athlete or his/her family or subjecting a young athlete to an adversarial or hostile examination process. Similarly, coaches and staff must be assured of notice of allegations, a fair hearing and protection from frivolous complaints. Thus, the following mechanisms have been put in place to establish an appropriate fact-finding and hearing process to be utilized for any complaint.
Parent Education SheetWritten by Katherine Starr
Attached please find a copy of an important club policy, "Club Philosophy and Policies Governing Professional Coaching Conduct and the Conduct of all Athletes, Employees and Volunteers." The purpose of this policy is to define in a very clear way inappropriate coach, sport leader and athlete participant conduct and the Club's commitment to protect the safety and well-being of athletes. The policy defines important terms and concepts such as bully, hazing, initiation rituals, physical punishment, sexual harassment, verbal and emotional abuse, etc. Please let us know if you have any questions.
Athlete Education SheetWritten by Katherine Starr
It is important that an athlete "respect" their coach (teammates, staff and volunteers), but sometimes, they act in ways that can be harmful and hurtful to young athletes.
It is important for every athlete to understand what is unacceptable behavior and when to reach out to an adult to ask for help and guidance.
Guidelines: Ethics PanelWritten by Katherine Starr
Guidelines for the Ethics Panel: Judging a Misconduct Complaint
Being a member of the Ethics Panel if asked is an important responsibility. Situations that may endanger the safety and well being of our children do arise, albeit infrequently. When they do, they must be dealt with promptly and fairly. Our Club has a complaint processing procedure which is detailed in Section 13 of "Club Philosophy and Policies Governing Professional Coaching Conduct and the Conduct of all Athletes, Employees and Volunteers." You should familiarize yourself with this document.
Guidelines: Fact FinderWritten by Katherine Starr
Volunteering to be Fact Finder when asked by the Club President is an important responsibility. Situations that may endanger the safety and well being of our children do arise, albeit infrequently. When they do, they must be dealt with promptly and fairly. Both the complaining party and the alleged offender need to be treated fairly. At the heart of fair treatment is an unbiased determination of the facts by an appointed Fact Finder. The following guidelines should be followed during the investigation process. First read the following club documents:
Guidelines: Athlete Welfare AdvocateWritten by Katherine Starr
You are an important person for any athlete who needs help thinking through and talking about a distressful situation. Our club cares about the safety and welfare of all participants and hopes that any athlete who may be the victim of abuse -- whether it is sexual, bullying, harassment or other improper misconduct by a coach, peer, parent, volunteer or staff member -- feels safe enough to contact you. The athlete should feel as though they have come to a person who will provide athlete-centered, supportive help. With this athlete assistance focus in mind, the AWA must be open to gaining the confidence of the athlete and developing a trusting relationship that will encourage factual, honest, and open dialogue. Keep in mind that you are the advocate for the athlete and your purpose is to hear the concern and then act on behalf of the athlete by working with others in the club to develop a resolution

|I've done this route twice now and would do it again. I would give it at least two stars. Maybe not three because of the approach. But the easy walk-off counters that. Nice off-width (some of which can be avoided by climbing the face) followed by an exposed hand traverse with a 5.6 slab. For extra spice once around the corner from the hand travere the arete can be had sans pro but still 5.6.

First of all, this climb is an offwidth. If you don't like offwidth, you won't like this climb. However, I thought it was a lot of fun. I was able to climb a lot of it on the outside, and I spent very little time inside the crack.
Based on the description, I brought a 4.5 camalot. Dave mentions that he was not able to place his #4 until the crack narrows and slants up and to the right. Having a 4.5 didn't change this. I put my cam in the same spot Dave mentions. I don't think having a 5 camalot, or even a 6 WC friend would make any difference. This crack is WIDE. I did find a small nut placement before I put this cam in. I was also able to sling a jutting corner of rock at the top of the offwidth section. This gave me the confidence to climb around it, rather than grovel through it.
The rest of the climb protects well, and the hand traverse is great fun. I though the top of the climb was easy after leading the run out section at the bottom.

First off--regarding Kevin's comment-yup, this climb *is* way on up the West Ridge, my opinion is: allow enough time and just enjoy the hike. We could live in an uglier place, you know.
As far as the climb goes, there's a small (good?) chock stone low in the crack. I slung it, just for fun...that's about all you've got until that aforementioned #4.5. Do extend the slings on your pieces under the roof before the traverse, to minimize drag. Enjoy! Good times. --You can toprope Prince of Darkness from the anchor you build at the end of Ice Nine, by the way.--

An enjoyable climb with a poorly-protected start.
I got two ball nuts and a black Alien in a thin horizontal crack about 10' up on the left side of the wide crack, and then ran it out to the pinnacle at the top of the crack, which I slung with a double-length sling.
The wide section isn't difficult and requires only a few offwidth moves. The hand traverse is airy, and the upper corner is well protected and fun.

You can protect the off-width portion with a blue BigBro about 2/3 of the way up. This should keep you off the ground if you pop before getting to the narrow portion of the crack. Then a #4 Camalot where the crack narrows and angles to the right. Main challenges are rope drag, sharp edges, hollow and loose rock, and several possibilities for grounding on ledges higher up the climb. Otherwise, a challenging adventure and quite different from most Eldo 5.6 climbs.

Okay, here's my take on this little 5.6. First, since there are so many sport climbers turned trad these days, you don't do this climb with a rack of quickdraws. Next, while easy, the moves off the ground put you into an offwidth that requires a big piece of pro to protect the moves. That first big piece of pro does nothing for you if you take a whipper before slinging the horn or turning the corner to get into the crack after the horn to place gear. In such a case, you risk a 35ft whipper into rocks below. I watched a guy, who could climb 5.10 sport, back off due to lack of pro needed for the start, so I lead the pitch for him. Wise move on his part. After passing the horn the pitch climbs a protectable 5.6 cracks to an offwidth roof that skirts rightward underneath. If you happen to have another very big piece of pro, you can protect the roof traverse, or if not you can get a smaller cam in a loose flake. Afterwards, this backs off to 5.5 or 5.6, but is a pretty finish in a short dihedral. Watch for loose rock above as well.
The long and short of this is, if you are a 5.7 trad leader, find another more protectable climb. If you can climb 5.9 or better you'll easily manage the headspace needed to do the somewhat unprotectable off-width start without concern.

|The route described here is listed as the variation start in the newest Eldo guide by Steve Levin. Apparently, the original start climbs the squeeze chimney around the corner to the right. I found this chimney to be fun and enjoyable climbing. Done this way, the pitch is 5.7.
By Julius Beres

rating: 5.7 5a 15 V+ 13 MVS 4b
"After enjoying a seat on a pinnacle, you do a fun, rightwards hand traverse and pull up into a left-facing corner that you follow to the end. The last twenty feet of the corner protect beautifully on hand-size and smaller pieces, but will feel a little tough if 5.6 is your limit."
I found the description to be misleading. I did the original 5.7 start which was OK, but a little scary due to loose rocks. The final left-facing corner is very easy and protects well.... I don't think a 5.6 leader would be concerned about it. But the casually mentioned hand traverse does not seem like it is remotely 5.6 when you are standing below it. For those of us without a very long leg span, you basically have to just weight your hands and swing from one foothold out to the arete. I haven't seen too many other 5.6s that require you to be completely on your arms. Granted it did not require much skill, but it does require more strength than most 5.6s, and so I thought the hand traverse was the crux of the climb (harder than any move on the 5.7 start).

rating: 5.7+ 5a 15 V+ 13 MVS 4b PG13
|Note to the 5.6 leader... there are really two routes grouped into this one MP entry, which is the reason for rating discrepancy. Ice Nine as described in the Levin guide felt correctly rated at 5.7+ (and PG-13 IMO due to fractured loose rock). I'm not sure how the route described here climbs, which is around the corner to the west, but folks are aligned on 5.6. I will climb it next time and update this comment.

What is Fair Trade? | Impact
Around the world, farmers who struggle to make a living are often forced to engage in agricultural practices that compromise their land and surrounding ecosystems, such as deforestation and erosion, use of harmful toxins, and disposal of pollutants into the water supply. Fair Trade Certified environmental standards are some of the strictest in the industry. Fair Trade Certified ensures that farmers follow internationally monitored environmental standards, while empowering farmers and farm workers with financial incentives and resources for organic conversion, reforestation, water conservation and environmental education. By establishing Fair Trade prices farmers are able to practice sustainable growing techniques and are supported in learning new skills that will preserve their land for generations to come. This means that Fair Trade Certified products are not only better for the men and women who grow them, they're better for the planet as well!

There is no summer ritual that exudes iconic Americana more than the state fair. From corndogs to apple pie bake-offs, this tradition beganback in 1841 where Americans would attend in droves for livestock judging, butter sculpting, and cheese curds. Today, state fairs have evolved to become a hotbed of over-the-top culinary creativity – from a chicken fried bacon and red velvet funnel cake to frozen sweet tea and fried lemonade. Jeff Mauro, winner of the seventh season of Food Network Star, graduated from California's Hollywood Kitchen Academy, and has worked in the food industry since high school in various roles, including line cook, caterer and chef instructor. After pursuing a career as an entertainer and comedian in Los Angeles, Jeff returned to Chicago to spend time doing what he loves: cooking. His down-to-earth personality coupled with his comic skills make a great combination in the kitchen. In his Food Network cooking show, Sandwich King, Jeff proves you can turn any meal into a sandwich and any sandwich into a delicious meal.
I got to chat with Jeff for several minutes about his favorite recipes with coffee in them- beverages and not- and accidentally put him on the spot– I blame him, he asked ME what my favorite fair food was (caramel apples) and given that he's doing coffee recipes…I asked him if he can pair coffee and caramel apples…I've got to tell you I'm pretty impressed he was able to do so right on the spot and come up with a recipe idea. I haven't tried it yet but I think I am going to this fall!! (Tiny bits of apple in the coffee drink and caramel drizzled on top…sounds delish, right?) Check out my interview (laugh at me if you want, but lie and tell me I was awesome to my face, ok?) with Jeff and tell me what YOUR favorite foods are!! Then I want you to go over to the Red Cup Showdown and enter your coffee drink creation– you could win $10,000!! (Hint: Jeff likes his coffee dark, so keep that in mind…)
Let me know what you enter for your recipe!! GOOD LUCK! This conversation and interview with Mr. Mauro was part of a campaign for Collective Bias. Opinions are my own.

Hewlett-Packard Rockets Higher
Shares of Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) are in breakout mode Friday. Volume is running extremely heavy, pushing the stock to a near-10% gain. The session began with a very powerful gap-higher open that lifted HP to fresh 2013 highs, and the stock began the day trading above its heavy 200-day moving average for the first time in a year. Over the past two years, HP has spent nearly its entire range below that key level. Today's earnings-inspired surge has dramatically altered the picture for the stock.Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) -- Daily Source: TradeStation View Chart » View in New Window »
Through the three-month period from October to December, HP traced out a major bottom, and the stock's final low of 2012 came on the heaviest selling pressure of the year.

If you listened to Lane Kiffin or Matt Barkley last year, USC's strength was its team leadership.But this year's Trojans make it clear they do not want to make the same leadership mistakes of a season ago."Once we took our second loss, we knew that's it for the national championship,'' star receiver Marqise Lee said. "But if we do have a loss this year, we'll stay together as a team."
Quarterback Max Wittek said the team relied too much on its big-name players last year.
"I think there's a different feel in togetherness now," Wittek said. "We're a lot more united. Some of us had a tendency with so many highly touted players to wait for someone to make a play.
"There was too much passivity."
It also figures a loss will not be as devastating to USC this year because the Trojans are ranked No. 24 in the coaches' poll. Last year USC was ranked No. 1.
None of USC's quarterbacks enjoyed much success Sunday with freshman Max Browne throwing three interceptions and Cody Kessler one. The defense dominated the practice, which is normal for the start of training camp.
Even with his interceptions, Browne said he believes he has a realistic chance to win the starting job.
"In the spring, the biggest thing I focused on was just getting the play in the huddle right," Browne said. "Before everything was spinning for me but now it's slowing down."
Kiffin said it was too soon to determine much about the quarterback position.
"We didn't really take care of the ball very well (Sunday)," he said.
Lee said he could probably pick a starting quarterback next week but then gave himself some leeway.
"If Kiffin can't get it (that quickly), I can't get it either," he said.
After two days, Kiffin mentioned freshman Justin Davis and sophomore Tre Madden as players who stood out at tailback.
It appeared like safety Josh Shaw also would play cornerback because of the Trojans' weakness at that position but Kiffin said he wants to keep Shaw at safety. It also will be harder to move Shaw now because he bulked up over the summer to play safety.
USC currently is using Torin Harris, Anthony Brown, Kevin Seymour, Chris Hawkins and Devian Shelton at cornerback. Hawkins and safety Su'a Cravens had interceptions Sunday.
Defensive end Kevin Greene was moved to tight end because Kiffin is concerned with only three scholarship tight ends and junior Randall Telfer still recovering from a torn meniscus.
"Over time I'll feel more comfortable," Greene said. "I just want to learn."
Greene said it was the first time he played offense since he spent time at wide receiver in high school.
"I'm not going to come out here to pout," he said. "I want to help the team."
Defensive end Malik Dorton of St. John Bosco in Bellflower attended practice. Dorton is expected to make his college choice this month.

Boss Dyche aiming higher than Burnley survival
9:00am Friday 30th May 2014
By Suzanne Geldard
9:00am Friday 30th May 2014
By Suzanne Geldard
BURNLEY boss Sean Dyche is setting his sights higher than Premier League survival.
In the same way that he refused to put a limit on expectations as his side mounted a promotion push last season, the Clarets chief is not outlining a minimum target for the top flight next term.
A 17th placed finish would be widely regarded as a bigger achievement than going up.
But Dyche said: "I don't think either way - you can limit either way.
"There might have been people who said last year that their marker is the play-offs, but we certainly weren't because you can limit people with that.
"I said that at the beginning of last season.
"Every manager will have their feel of 'soft psychology' as I call it.
"We're not trained psychologists, but you have a feel for the psychology of an individual and a team.
"And I just always thought when we start talking in cycles and markers and achieving this, that or the other, it can be good in a way that it gives you focus and a goal, but it can also be constraining.
"Sometimes people hit the marker and then they're confused, thinking they've done what they've meant to do, only to be told 'no you haven't, there's more to come'.
"So we just leave it open."
Dyche adopted a 'one game at a time' mantra from the start of last season and feels those short-term goals were key in securing automatic promotion.
And he revealed it is a philosophy that he intends to stick with the in Premier League.
"The 'one game at a time' thing that's been strapped to us from last season is still relevant, whatever way you look at it.
"You can only do it one game at a time," he said.
"Our first marker will be getting ready in pre-season to hit the first game and operate from thereon in.
"We'll build from what we've delivered in the past season and add to that to take into the new season.
"I have my beliefs and the staff follow my beliefs and the team have done that."
Meanwhile, Dyche is aiming to finalise further contracts, after securing Danny Lafferty on a new three-year deal.
The Clarets boss offered terms to Lafferty, Michael Duff, Junior Stanislas and Luke O'Neill at the end of the season.
So far only Lafferty has put pen to paper. But Dyche is hopeful that the rest will commit to the club over the summer.
"We're already in negotiations," said the Burnley manager.
"A lot of the players here were under contract and had built-in things that cover them moving forward.
"Some will be affected. Some will be ongoing.
"The good thing with that is that obviously started a few weeks ago.
"We're pretty sure on the people that we wish to stay and extending contracts and that sort of thing. That's ongoing."
The squad is not due back for pre-season training until early July, but Dyche does not envisage any major hold-ups in the negotiation process despite players being on holiday or away on international duty.
"Most players operate with agents now, most agents take care of business, the player then speaks to the agent or to me or to Lee Hoos - whoever it may be, we're all singing from the same songsheet here.
"We make that quite clear to the agents, there's not one saying one thing and one saying another, we're very open with our business and our players and the agents and obviously the club, and we align in the best possible fashion.
"That's just an ongoing situation."

iHerb Customer Reviews
Not sure if it helps, hate the consistency....
Posted by iHerb Customer on May 12, 2010 | Verified Purchase
My first point to mention, I HATE the consistency of this product. It has the consistency of mayonaise. So, it's a very wet moisturizer. It's not greasy, like some lotions, but, a weird mayo like wetness that does not sbsorb quickly and has more of a stickyness than a greasiness. So, I do not like that it doesn't sink in quickly. All products are different and I know every one is different in their preferences. Also, it is an expensive product. My skin as been super dry and flaky lately and I bought 8 of the ZIA products (day moisturizer, night moisturizer, ultimate moisture, Citrus night creme, eye creme, toner, and repair serum, & cleansing mousse) to use as a comlete regimen so all the botanicals would complement each other and not clash. I don't know if this has helped or not as I didn't see much change, my skin got less dry for a day or two but then later got dry and flaky again. With this winter being super cold, it took a toll on my skin, so I have mixed reviews on this. I'm sure it helps, but, don't expect dramatic results. I also dislike that some of the products I purchased contain unhealthy parabens which are nt good for you. If I had wanted those, I could have bought any department store brand. Also did not care for the smell, too cloying.

ARBONNE MAKEUP PRIMERI really like this product. I have an combination skin which is really oily throught the T-zone.

During the warmer months I still get a little shiny later in the day but I can blot it away without accidentally blotting the makeup off too. The or...read moreiginal packaging was bad. After the pump quit working I could get at least another month's worth of product out by using a little make-up spatula to scrape down the sides of the bottle. They've changed the bottle and I'm not sure about the new style. The bottle is completely opaque plastic and the top is fused to the bottom so I can't actually see how much product is left. I think I'm nearing the end of this one and the pump is still delivering the right amount of primer. On one of Arbonnne's other products they's switched the bottle to a push-up style pump where the interior floor of the bottle rises as the product gets used. I suspect they've done this on the primer bottle too. When I get to the end of this one I'm going to break it open to see. I haven't tried many primers but I love this one. I don't leave the house without it. Leaves a super smooth finish and makes my skin look flawless w/no makeup and even more flawless when I'm wearing makeup. My t-zone used to get super-shiny all the time, but now I have this primer to keep me fab all day. Long gone are the days that I'd take a pic with friends in the middle of the day and be horrified at the shine-ball that was my face. This stuff surprisingly keeps me pretty matte for most of the day. If you don't think it's working, add more; it was just an OK product for me until I realized I needed 2 pumps - one specifically for my t-zone and the other for the rest of my face. It's a bit pricey for me, but worth every penny. I have 2 old bottles that still contain a decent amount of product - the only problem is that I can't get the product out! Would love to break into the bottle, but since it's glass I know I'd either end up 1) cutting my finger or 2) get glass shards into the product - neither of which is a good idea. Also, my pump ends up breaking once I'm halfway through the bottle, which means I end up directly dipping out of it (yuck!). Even still, don't know how I lived without this stuff. — 5 years, 5 months agomihshelle | 182 reviews

"Squaredance," a new ballet set to familiar Appalachian music, is among the pieces to be performed this weekend at "Partners and Pairs," the Charleston Ballet's final performance of the season. Though the entire program is technically known as a mixed bill, Pauley is attracted to using themes to describe her creative products."I find people don't always recognize or understand the term mixed bill, but we can all relate easily to a theme," she said.In 2011, the troupe performed a mixed bill program titled "Classic Country Rock 'n' Roll" to an engaged audience. Classical ballet can be intimidating, Pauley said, but she noticed that the audience at that program clapped and connected to the music and dance easily.She wanted to do something similar, but to localize the music. "We all grew up with square dancing. We took it in school," she laughed. "I did some research on popular square dancing tunes and fiddle music and discovered Senator Byrd's CD, 'Mountain Fiddler.'" "Squaredance" features local square dancers opening and closing the ballet. Members of the Charleston Ballet perform in between, and Pauley noted the challenges of dancing to Byrd's fiddling."On pointe, this is a technically challenging performance. It's aerobic. The fiddle music stays the same tempo throughout each piece, so there is little downtime in the ballet." Tunes like "Turkey in the Straw," "Cripple Creek" and "Old Joe Clark" keep the ballet dancers moving at a fast pace, just as they do square dancers. The audience will hear Senator Byrd's voice on occasion during the performance, telling stories about his childhood.Pauley received the right to use "Mountain Fiddler" in "Partners and Pairs" from its record label, Rebel Records. She will have copies of the CD for sale at the performance.Special guest David A. Corbin, author of "The Last Great Senator: Robert C. Byrd's Encounters with Eleven U. S. Presidents," will be in attendance to do a book signing at both performances. Corbin knows his subject well, having served for 26 years on Byrd's leadership staff when he was Senate majority leader and for 10 years as Sen. Byrd's speechwriter.Pauley considers Corbin's book an important read for anyone, and West Virginians in particular. "It contains a lot of anecdotal stories and reveals how quirky and yet how powerful Byrd was."As I read it, I remember many of the events when they happened or I have heard about them at some point in my life. But reading them all together is a real history lesson. The book puts everything in context, and it starts to become more clear."In addition to "Squaredance," the performance includes the Spanish-flavored "Majisimo," a four-couple dance choreographed by Miguel Campaneria; "Diana and Actaeon," a pas de deux based on the Greek mythology of the goddess of the hunt, and the "Flames of Paris" pas de deux performed by guest artists from the Columbia (S.C.) Classical Ballet Company. Those guest dancers are Thomas Bettin, Christopher Miro, Oleksandr Vykhrest, Tamako Miyazaki and Vivian Wang. Another guest artist, Nick Peregrino from Ballet Fleming in Philadelphia, will dance in "Squaredance" and "Majisimo."Now celebrating its 57th year, the Charleston Ballet has had only two directors: Andre Van Damme, premier danseur etoile (principal dancer) of the Brussels Royal Opera, who founded the troupe, and Kim Pauley. Pauley mentored with Van Damme until his death in 1989, after which she became director."We are all trying to do different things," said Pauley. "We cut our teeth on the classics, and we will always love them, but dancers love challenges. I hope to have 'Partners and Pairs' as part of West Virginia's sesquicentennial celebration and FestivALL, too."Reach Elizabeth Gaucher at email@example.com or 304-348-1249.

Mathewson to fight for Force starting spot
After successfully negotiating his way through a two-day SAS camp, new Western Force recruit Alby Mathewson is ready to fight tooth and nail with Brett Sheehan for the Super Rugby side's starting halfback spot.
Mathewson was lured to the Force as its marquee international player, but that by no means guarantees the former All Black a regular starting berth at the Perth-based franchise.
Sheehan has been a mighty warrior for the Force over the past three seasons, with the 33-year-old even receiving a Wallabies call-up this year.
Mathewson, who notched four Tests for the All Blacks, said he would embrace his battle with Sheehan.
''I think it's going to bring the best out of both of us,'' Mathewson said on Tuesday.
''That's what competition does. I came here to compete for a spot.
''I've heard a few stories that he's pretty competitive as well, so it's only going to be good for the team.
''With halfback Piri Weepu limiting his opportunities at the Blues, Mathewson jumped at the chance to join the Force under new coach Michael Foley.
The 26-year-old, who has played 83 Super Rugby games, said he was glad to be in Perth, despite the ''bloody hot'' weather.
''I like to play a quick style, and that's what Foley wants to play - an attacking brand this year,'' Mathewson said.
''That was the reason for staying in Super Rugby as well rather than going to Europe. This competition is the toughest in the world and the style suits my play.
''Any thoughts Mathewson had of being eased in at the Force went out the window last week when he and his new teammates were thrust into a two-day SAS camp.
''There was no complaining. Everyone just got on with the job, even though we were sleep deprived and what have you,'' Mathewson said.
''It wasn't a flog-a-thon or anything. It was more mental, just making sure that when times get tough, you stick together and use teamwork to get through things.''

A late try from Llanelli centre James Griffiths last night prevented Newport gaining only a second victory at Parc y Scarlets, writes Tony Poole.
Though the Black and Ambers seemed destined to gain a deserved win – and erase the memory of a surprise defeat at bottom-placed Swansea the previous week – it simply wasn't to be.
It means the lone Newport win at the ground remains the 36-10 success during a first visit to the Carmarthenshire ground in April 2009.
Eighth-placed Newport were on the scoreboard first via a third-minute penalty from full-back Geraint O'Driscoll – but the lead only lasted a minute.
Opposite number Gareth Walters struck the equalising penalty – and more Llanelli pressure resulted in him knocking over further penalties in the 14th and 19th minutes.
Newport then had ex-Bedwas back-row man Brendan Lampitt binned in the 25th minute for ball-killing, and Walters nailed the ensuing penalty for 12-3.
A fifth Walters penalty enhanced the lead on the half-hour, but in the 32nd minute, the Black and Ambers bucked the trend in remarkable fashion.
With Lampitt still on the sidelines, full-back O'Driscoll burst clear down the left touchline to claim a superb corner try that he also improved on.
That reduced half-time arrears to 15-10, and rejuvenated Newport were back on terms just 90 seconds into the second period.
Wales U20 centre Tyler Morgan drove over for an unconverted try close to the flag while soon after Llanelli full-back Walters fluffed a second penalty.
Newport bombed a decent try-scoring chance in the 56th minute when full-back O'Driscoll failed to cling on to a difficult try-scoring pass from centre Morgan.
However, it was now the Black and Ambers who were pressing, and replacement wing Tom James almost set up a try for centre Morgan on the hour.
But Newport perseverance was rewarded in the 70th minute, as a piercing break from replacement wing James produced a try close to the posts that O'Driscoll duly goaled.
That led to Llanelli piling on the pressure during the closing exchanges – and the equalising score unfolded five minutes into stoppage-time.
Replacement flanker Dan Thomas opened up the Newport defence for centre Griffiths to shoot through a gap to touchdown halfway out.
The outcome then hinged on the conversion, and full-back Walters curled his kick in at the far post to earn Llanelli an unexpected share of the spoils.
LLANELLI: G Walters; J Adams, Jonny Lewis (J Evans 45), J Griffiths, D Lewis; J James, A Davies; R Thomas, K Myhill (D Harris h-t), G Havard (B Leung 65), N White, E Price, D Eager (capt), S Leach (D Thomas 65), O Morgan
Scorers: Try – J Griffiths; Con: G Walters; Pens: G Walters (5)
NEWPORT: G O'Driscoll; A Hewitt, T Morgan, D Robinson, O Broad (T James 59); E Davies, J Leadbetter; D Pattison, Andrew Brown, A Jeffries, D Rosser (Adam Brown 51), A Frampton, C Attwell (capt), B Lampitt, O Griffiths
Scorers: Tries – G O'Driscoll, T Morgan, T James; Cons: G O'Driscoll (2); Pens: G O'Driscoll
REFEREE: Owain Griffith (Cardiff).

ECJ is just another name for regular sugar and there's 182g of it in this mix! But if you aren't looking for something that's particularly healthy and need a good substitute for a wheat-based cake mix, this is great! I managed to make it do 24 little cupcakes and they were a hit with the kids. I guessed the butter as I have no idea what a stick of butter is, and used half virgin coconut oil to make them a little healthier. They rose beautifully and were light and fluffy.

THE memories of those cared for by Prospect Hospice fuelled the efforts of the 100 people tackling the Prospect 10k yesterday.
Organised by the hospice, yesterday's muddy challenge was the second staging of the event, which started and finished at the Nationwide Pavilion in Pipers Way.
Approximately 105 fundraisers set out in their yellow Prospect T-shirts at 10.30am and slogged their way through a course which took in Broome Manor Golf Club, Burderop Wood and Wood Farm.
Serious doubts were raisedover whether the fundraiser would go ahead as heavy rain waterlogged the course through Friday and Saturday, but changes to the course at the 11th hour ensured runners got their moment.
The first participant across the line was Brian Cooke, a 42-year-old printer of Royal Wootton Bassett. Brian was running in memory of his partner, Amanda Hedges, who spent six weeks at the hospice at the beginning of 2013.
Amanda passed away following a battle with breast cancer. Brian, a seasoned runner, wanted to raise money for Prospect because of the comfort it offered Amanda.
"They made her very comfortable," he said. "They also provided great support for her family and friends.
"It's been a very emotional day. I marshalled the race last year and this year I wanted to run it for her.
"Today isn't a day for racing, it's for fundraising. We are all here because we know Prospect is always in need of fundraisers."
Kelly Cleverly, 27, a Nationwide worker from Old Town, was running in memory of Karen Lloyd, who was carried in a customised Costa Coffee coffin at her funeral last Friday following a battle with stage three cancer.
Karen was cared for by Prospect between December 2013 and February 4. She was somebody Kelly knew well, and as a result, she wanted to raise money for the charity.
"Karen raised so much money despite her illness and I felt I wanted to try and raise £500 with a last minute entry to this race," said Kelly.
"Karen was like family for me since I was little. She took on everything with a big smile. I am sure if she was looking down on me out there today she would have been laughing."
The first female finished was Allison Pearson, a 39-year-old PA of Pleydell Road. She was running in memory of her father Colin Mathers, who passed away in February 2008 following a battle with oesophagal cancer.
In her two years of running Allison has already raised around £1,000 for Prospect, with a run-out at last year's inaugural event also contributing to her total.
"It's difficult talking about it now. I haven't really thought about anything out there on the course other than getting back here as soon as possible.
"The thought of the money people are sponsoring you with certainly helps you get through. You know you can't let anyone down when the going gets tough out there."

CHICO -- Mayor Ann Schwab said she feels "I have a lot to offer the city of Chico" as she seeks re-election.
"When I reflect on my first term in 2004, I was interested in parks and bicycling. I had served on the Park Commission," and worked with the Bidwell Park Centennial and served as Chico Velo president.
An accomplishment in office was hiring a coordinator for Bidwell Park to leverage volunteers. She said she was instrumental in the bicycle crossing at Annie's Glen and removing other barriers to bike travel.
For her second term in 2008, she ran on the slogan "sustaining Chico's values."
Schwab said she believes in the three E's: economic, environment and social equity.
She's proud of the city's greenhouse gas audit and climate action plan. Many green jobs have also been added in Chico. The first chapter of the General Plan 2030 is on sustainability, and that thread runs throughout the plan, she said.
The city is starting to come out of the recession, and as things move forward, those General Plan principles can be used, she said.
On police issues, overtime costs for big events eat away at funds that could be used otherwise, such as police staffing.
The solution is to keep mass events as local events, she said.
"We tried the alcohol ban (last year). I think we could get support from Glenn County now," Schwab said.
On city finances, Schwab said the economy has hurt all communities, and the loss of redevelopment funds has been devastating.
Many jobs in engineering and planning were funded by RDA funds, she said. "As those projects go away and we don't receive additional revenues, we have no choice but to lay that staff off."
Some candidates have been talking about privatizing services such as street sweeping.
"We have a fleet optimization program," she said. The vehicles are adaptable to other jobs. "We won a national award for its completion and the amount of money it saved the city," she said.

Windows Mobile 7 is Zune, Mobile Xbox, and Phone in One Chic Package
Jason Mick
February 15, 2010 10:15 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Windows Mobile 7 offers a bright, fresh look that surprisingly bears no resemblance to the iPhone, unlike its competitors.
The new Windows Mobile 7, set to release this holiday season, essentially acts an Xbox handheld, a Zune video/music player, and phone rolled into one. The Music+Video hub looks almost identitcal to the Microsoft's Zune HD software.
(Source: Microsoft)
The phone also offers a clean, rich RSS-like social network feed akin to the new Google Buzz service.
(Source: Microsoft)
New mobile OS from Microsoft to launch this holiday season, hardware will be consistently high quality
There's a sort of beautiful symmetry in Microsoft's mobile phone operating system announcement which
aired today
at the 2010 Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. Holiday season 2009 Microsoft unleashed Windows 7, a desktop operating system that turned people's preconceptions upside down and fueled
unprecedented sales
. This year it will look to do the same, with the release of
Windows Mobile 7
Forget the
talk of delays
(okay, so the OS will land
in 2011), forget all the complaints about the past Windows Mobile operating systems, forget Microsoft's
slipping market share
; you need to look at Windows Mobile with a fresh set of eyes because it is completely different.
The first surprise is in the base operating system. The past Windows Mobile operating system code base is about to become officially retired, relegated to some forgotten change management repository. In its place will be an entirely new mobile phone operating system built atop the existing OS on Microsoft's Zune MP3 players.
In that respect Windows Mobile 7 could be hailed as the long awaited "
Zune phone
" as it shares much of the look of the Zune, with bright, flat square icons, large text and nary a chiclet in site. The look provides the first true alternative to the iPhone (competitors like Palm and Google have largely emulated Apple's chiclet grid look) and will likely appeal to many customers.
Microsoft's phone is built around six key hubs -- People, Pictures, Games, Music+Video, Marketplace, and Office -- each a colorful and unique digital playground.
People will stream updates from Facebook and Windows Live, sort of like a RSS feed on steroids (or the recently unveiled
Google Buzz
). Despite the reinvention, people will find scraps of similarity; the Music+Video hub is virtually identical to the software on the Zune HD. It incorporates a music/video store, a media player, and mild social networking.
Games is another place people will find familiar looks. Games is essentially Microsoft's long awaited mobile Xbox handheld. With the iPhone tearing up game sales charts, its clear that this is long overdue.
Marketplace will be Microsoft's rival to the App store. Here's a surprise --
no past Windows Mobile apps will work on the phone or be in the store
. That's right, unlike some (Palm), Microsoft's OS reinvention includes wiping the slate clean with apps. That downside is that means less apps and some unhappy developers, the upside is that customers can expect cleaner, fresher applications. Another slight surprise is that there will be no desktop Syncing other than standard Zune syncing; everything else will be done over the air.
Office and Pictures are much like you'd expect -- a photo gallery, and a promising, improved portable version of Microsoft's Office software.
Another critical piece of the interface is the browser -- the browser will be a multi-touch version of Internet Explorer. While it's no shocker that it's not blazing fast given how slow its desktop brethren are, the browser still looks pretty nice. And you can bet Opera and Mozilla already have faster browsers in the works.
Email will be handled through a mobile Outlook client that looks to be a fusion of beauty and efficiency in a tight package. The client has full support for Microsoft Exchange.
Microsoft is opting for an approach somewhere in between Apple's as its past mobile phone approach when it comes to hardware. Previously it had virtually no restrictions. Now, it's being choosy. While it still is not designing the phone itself, it has made hardware guidelines extremely strict. Every phone must meet certain speed requirements, support multitouch, have a Bing button (for quick searching), have an FM radio built in, and meet battery life requirements. Certain alterations, such as custom skins (like HTC's), are banned.
In short Windows Mobile 7 looks to be another dynamic holiday launch for Microsoft. Former Microsoft VP Dick Brass (see his
recent criticism
) better be taking note -- because this new phone OS is arguably the most revolutionary thing to happen to the phone market since the launch of the first iPhone in 2007. Looks like Apple might finally have a true fight on its hands for the title of trendiest smart phone.

It's a movement all right, it is just in EXACTLY the same direction as Obama's movement.
How can anyone believe this? Or is it just a fantasy?
For some reason, a medical term involving the word "movement" comes to mind.
It's a "movement" all right. I'll give you three guesses what kind.
Glad you confirmed I am not the only sick person here :)

Parasites do tend to wiggle.
Just remember everyone - it's all one big show. The whole of the elections.

Here are two ads from 1948 for beer, lol. These were part of a series of prints by american artists. These are by Haddon Sundblum and Douglass Crockwell. I was shocked to see a Crockwell print, I knew his name as in "Crockwell's pond" where my friends and I fished and hung out as youngsters. We knew he was an artsy type, but always thought of him as a "local" artist.

Located just off Castro Street, the 9-year-old restaurant is basic and casual, with a large fish tank at one side and an entryway divider of greenery at the door. About 15 tables fill the open dining room, and a counter toward the back of the room remains busy with people ordering take-out meals. All menu items are available to go.
A big selling point is how affordable the meals are, particularly in light of the generous portions. Most dinner entrees cost less than $10, and in most cases you get enough food for at least two meals.
Cafe Yulong has a very impressive menu with pages and pages of traditional dishes organized by main ingredients. There's a fowl section, with established favorites like Kung Pao chicken and General Tso's chicken, as well as some more unusual offerings like vinegar chicken, fermented black bean chicken and tea-smoked duck. There's a vegetable section, with fresh spinach and garlic, sweet and sour tofu, and spicy garlic eggplant. And there are long listings for seafood, noodles, soups, dumplings, appetizers and pork.
Pay attention to the entrees marked with a pepper — these dishes are spicy, and the restaurant isn't kidding about the heat. Our servers were quite diligent about asking us about the level of intensity we could handle, and medium was about our limit.
After sipping tea and sampling the complimentary kimchi, we started our dinner with spring rolls ($5.95 for four) and crab Ragoon ($5.95 for eight). The rolls were crisp, delicate and flaky, and the minced cabbage, mushrooms and celery were a wonderful contrast to the deep-fried wrappers. The deep-fried turnovers seemed to be lacking crab, although the cream cheese encased in crunchy pastry had a nice textural balance.
Do try one of the mu shu entrees, which come with beef, pork, chicken, shrimp or lamb ($8.95-$11.95). Our shredded pork was mixed with scrambled eggs, mushrooms, scallions and cabbage in a soy and hoisin sauce mixture, which we then rolled up in thin steamed pancakes. This was one of our favorite dishes — tasty, refined and well balanced.
We also savored the Yulong shrimp ($11.95), a house specialty of stir-fried shrimp in a tangy tomato-based sauce. Another winner was the clay pot ma por tofu, a steaming bowl of minced tofu blended with cabbage, mushrooms and spices. This dish was too zippy for my dinner companions, which left all the more for me to enjoy over a mound of well-made brown rice.
The lunch menu is also extensive, with dozens of traditional dishes served with steamed rice, egg roll and small bowl of soup ($7.95-$9.95). An enormous bowl of chicken and black mushroom noodle soup ($7.95) needed a good dose of tabletop soy sauce and chili to give it some bite, but the house-made noodles were a delight. A weekend brunch special ($10), with two plain buns, a bowl of porridge and a hot dish selection of calamari, however, was beige and innocuous. The brunch has been temporarily discontinued since our visit in late October.
Service throughout was exemplary. The restaurant remains a family affair, run by James and Miya Pei (and helped out by their sons), and the personal touch shows in their welcome attentiveness to their patrons. Servers were friendly, prompt and stopped by often to see how we were doing. Dishes were staggered so that everything didn't arrive at the table at once, and water glasses and teacups were filled constantly and unobtrusively.
Although Cafe Yulong is not the first place you'd pick for special occasions or a romantic night out, it will certainly hit the spot when you are in the mood for Chinese and want a lot of variety without denting your wallet.

After winning back-to-back Sprint Cup races, Jimmie Johnson had one thought after the race Sunday at Texas Motor Speedway.
"I really wish we were in Phoenix right now getting ready to start the next race," he said. "Things are rolling. We're enjoying it."
Johnson is riding a wave of momentum as he closes in on a possible sixth Sprint Cup championship.
With wins in the last two races in the Chase for the Sprint Cup, he has a seven-point lead on Brad Keselowski, a 28-year-old driver who is looking not only for his first Cup title but the first for Penske Racing.
Only two races remain—Sunday at Phoenix and the Nov. 18 season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway.
"We're definitely in control," Johnson said. "We don't have to catch any or make up any points. Seven points is nothing to feel comfortable about and to relax on.
"We're still going to go into Phoenix and act as if we're behind and go in there to try to sit on the pole and win the race again."
Winning a third straight race in the Chase is not unprecedented for Johnson. He won four straight races in 2007 to win his second title and has a record 22 wins in Chase races. In his five championship seasons, he led the standings four times after race No. 34.
Keselowski, meanwhile, has tried to keep pace with Johnson with an aggressive approach. He has gambled on pit strategy the last two weeks, taking just two tires late in races to get the lead. He tried to hold off Johnson last week during a fierce, door-banging duel on the final two restarts.
Johnson has taken few chances, using conservative strategy and relying on his pit crew to perform flawlessly.
"We've been racing pretty conservatively the last couple of weeks," crew chief Chad Knaus said. "We've been able to get the laps led and fortunately enough been able to get the victory.
"So they'll have to continue to be aggressive to swing by us, I think."
Knaus and Johnson won five consecutive titles from 2006-2010. They rarely have had mechanical issues during the Chase and typically run at their best in the final 10 races.
"Everybody thinks once you get to the Chase, you've got to ramp everything up," Knaus said. "Being part of (our No.) 48 car, you're expected to win every single week, so we really can't prepare any differently. … Once we get into the Chase, we really can't do anymore.
"We're really operating in our comfort zone."
One of the reasons they're in their comfort zone is because they don't have the pressure or the questions of, "Can they win it?" They know they can, it's just a matter of execution.
"Where I think what happens to a lot of the other teams, it takes them out of the comfort zone," Knaus said. "They try to do more. They try to push that further. They do things that are outside the norm. I think that's where usually people get in trouble."
Phoenix typically is a comfort zone for Johnson. He has four career wins there and had 10 top fives until the track was repaved and reconfigured last year. He finished 14th there last November, but in March, he led 55 laps and finished fourth (one spot ahead of Keselowski).
He says the reconfigured track poses a unique challenge.
"We actually got some type of second lane working in (Turns) 3 and 4, which was different (than last year)," Johnson said. "The dogleg, kink, Turn 3, whatever it is on the back straightaway, there was a bit of chaos in navigating that thing— guys shooting across the flat—which led to some issues into the real Turn 3. I think that is really the thing to be focused on.
"There might be some crashes as a result of that."
Johnson hopes it's a little easier to navigate this time.
"The track has had some time to age and I hope it's lost some grip so we will definitely move out (into a second groove)," Johnson said. "They spent a lot of time and effort to try to create extra lanes of racing through their (new configuration). "I hope they're right. The first time there, it was pretty narrow and I hope that, as it ages, we can get a wider racetrack and really put on a good show."

Castro increases hitting streak to NL-best 13
MILWAUKEE -- The hits keep coming for Cubs shortstop Starlin Castro, who singled to center with two outs in the third inning Sunday to extend his hitting streak to 13 games, the longest active streak in the National League.
Castro now has eight hitting streaks of 10 or more games since the start of the 2011 season, tied with the Yankees' Robinson Cano for the most during that stretch.
Since he made his big league debut on May 7, 2010, Castro has totaled 550 hits, the most in the NL in that span. Milwaukee's Ryan Braun was second, entering Sunday's game with 538 hits.

I assure you the BluRay vs DVD is a whole other ball game and feeling and the ability to see what's going on despite having lesser cameras and HD ready resolution then. VS full HD with better cameras now. We're getting better all the time.
It's actually been a while since I looked at it. The only points of critique I remember was some smaller pieces of footage being overexposed due to your camera that crashed during the filming(if I recall correctly) and that the DVD menu could have had a bit more love (the thing that sprung most into the eyes were the yellow highlight color when chooing footage).
Other than that it was a pretty good first release and the editing was true to the spirit of lcgm8's youtube stuff.
Thanks for comment:
I had some hard times to fix JR' s footage. Today i could do it better. I made first fine menus for DVD and when i test it on Philips BD3000 i couldn't go every where on screen with remote control. So it's stripped down menus, but i might fix it looking better before making some new copies of it.

The world of tennis will pay tribute to former British number one Elena Baltacha with a minute's silence at the Mutua Madrid Open on Monday night.
Baltacha died of liver cancer early on Sunday morning at the age of 30.
The tribute will be held on Centre Court at the Manolo Santana Stadium before the match between Carla Suarez Navarro and Yvonne Meusburger, which is due to start at 2000 local time (1900 BST).
Andy Murray, a childhood friend of Baltacha's, is expected to be one of a number of high-profile players in attendance.
Baltacha was diagnosed with the illness in January, just two months after retiring from tennis and only weeks after she married her long-time coach Nino Severino.
"We are heartbroken beyond words at the loss of our beautiful, talented and determined Bally," Severino said in a statement released by her family.
"She was an amazing person and she touched so many people with her inspirational spirit, her warmth and her kindness."
The statement said Baltacha died peacefully at home.
Baltacha had retired from professional tennis last November after a career which had seen her ranked as the British number one for 132 weeks, from December 2009 to June 2012.
Her highest singles ranking was 49, which she reached in September 2010.
The Lawn Tennis Association said in a statement: "Today British Tennis mourns the loss of one of our own.
"The news of the death of Elena Baltacha, one of the shining lights of British women's tennis of recent generations, is devastating to everyone who has ever had the privilege to know her, play against her, or call her a friend or team-mate.
"It leaves a huge hole within our sport. Bally gave new meaning to the word 'fighter'.
"She fought tirelessly during her career against opposition on court, and never gave in to the struggles she endured off it."
Baltacha had dealt with a liver condition - primary sclerosing cholangitis - diagnosed at the age of 19, throughout her career with medication and regular blood tests.
Despite the disruption it caused, she went on to win 11 singles titles, reached the third round of Wimbledon in 2002 and the same stage of the Australian Open in 2005 and 2010.
Baltacha represented Great Britain for 11 years in the Fed Cup and also played in the London Olympics in 2012 but, after struggling with injury and illness during her career, ankle problems forced her to retire.
She had then turned her attention to coaching junior tennis players at her Ipswich-based academy prior to her illness.
The previously announced 'Rally for Bally' - a fundraising series due to be played in June - will now go ahead in her memory.
Wimbledon champion Murray had committed to play in the event along with the likes of Martina Navratilova and Tim Henman, and the money raised will go to the Elena Baltacha Academy of Tennis and the Royal Marsden Cancer Charity.
Stacey Allaster, chairman and chief executive of the WTA, said: "We are deeply grieved to lose our friend Elena Baltacha in her battle with cancer.
"Elena's journey was never an easy one and yet she consistently showed her strength, good humour and indomitable spirit."
ATP executive chairman and president Chris Kermode wrote in a statement: "The thoughts and condolences of the ATP players, tournaments and staff go out to Elena's husband, Nino, her family, friends and all who knew her.
"Elena battled against adversity throughout her career and she will be remembered for her fighting spirit and as a role model for all."

Going over-board with adding letters to the traditional "GLBT (Gay/Lesbian/Bi-sexual/Trans)" acronym to attempt to include every non-homophobic possibility. GLBT alphabet soup can become a very long, nonsensical acronym. It becomes nonsensical in that it is redundant. Queer, for example, is a rather broad term that has already been covered by the GLB part of the acronym. Trans-gender and transsexual are close enough to the same thing that it's safe to just refer to those people as "trans". Questioning is ridiculous, because it doesn't take that long to figure out if you're gay or straight. Most people know their sexual orientation at a very young age. Allies shouldn't be included in the acronym because, as much as gays appreciate their support and openness, they simply aren't queer. The whole point of the original GLBT acronym is to have an all-inclusive term to describe queer people, not their fan club. Intersex is too detailed for the acronym; as previously stated, the very purpose of the GLBT acronym is to have a universal, simple term to refer to queer people. There can be more letters added, but the example of the GLBT alphabet soup is enough explanation of the redundancy of this term.
GLBT alphabet soup example (these are not all of the letters that some people use): GLBTIQQA=Gay/Lesbian/Bi-sexual/Transgender/Transsexual/Intersex/Queer/Questioning/Allies

CLEVELAND (AP) -- The Christmas season in downtown Cleveland will have a retro look.
On Saturday, the Horseshoe Casino Cleveland that opened in May as Ohio's first casino will unveil holiday decorations inspired over the years by its home, the old Higbee's department store.
An original 24-foot artificial tree has been refurbished as the centerpiece of the casino decorations. Nine-thousand new lights were installed on the tree.
Inside the casino, there will be eight custom-built archways inspired by Higbee's. But because of casino rules, only people 21 and over will get to see the interior decorations.
The lighting of the tree and outside decorations will be part of Cleveland's traditional Thanksgiving weekend holiday festival on Public Square.

Ore. man killed by cops was stalking at least 17 teenage girls
PORTLAND, Ore. -- A man shot and killed outside Wilson High School was stalking at least 17 other teenage girls all over Oregon, according to new court documents obtained Monday.
Detectives found chilling "surveillance notes" inside the pocket of Kelly Swoboda's pants after he was killed in March.
He is also the man police believe kidnapped a woman from a tanning salon in Milwaukie.
The notes were revealed in nearly 300 pages of transcripts just released from the Multnomah County grand jury investigation that cleared the police officer who shot Swoboda.
Prosecutors told jurors the notes show locations, vehicles, physical descriptions and even crude ratings of high school girls who likely never knew they were being stalked.
Swoboda allegedly stalked girls walking home along the quiet streets near Wilson High School, going to and from work at Clackamas Town Center, at the Southwest Portland tennis courts used by Oregon Episcopal School, and even outside a ballerina studio in Eugene.
"As he was watching her, he made a note that she's alone," an law enforcement witness in the grand jury proceeding told a juror who asked why one of the notes had the word "alone" next to the description of a teenage girl.
That particular note included the girl's blond hair color, her license plate number, a time, a date, a type of vehicle, and Swoboda's rating of the girl -- "a nine."
The court transcript also reveals prosecutors and police received emergency calls from families with students at Wilson High School in the weeks and months leading up to Swoboda's death.
One female student reported that a van followed her as she walked home from school and approached a deserted foot path through the woods, according to the transcript.
Wilson students were warned earlier this year about a white or green van that was seen following girls home. That van is believed to be Swoboda's.
Swoboda also apparently stalked women going to work at Clackamas Town Center in the morning, noting their license plate numbers.
"We think he followed one of them home later that night," the law enforcement expert witness testified in the grand jury proceeding.
A juror asked if Swoboda had the ability to track their home addresses from the license plate numbers he recorded.
"No, I don't believe he has the ability," answered the expert witness.
However, police do have that ability.
Detectives testified they used Swoboda's "surveillance notes" to identify and contact 17 girls and their families after they discovered the notes to make sure the teenagers were, in fact, not harmed.
All are safe.
A juror asked why he may have stalked teenage girls and kept notes about them.
"He's making notes on people that he finds, I don't want to use the word 'attractive,' people he's interested in for the purposes of abducting them and doing whatever he's going to do to them," answered the expert law enforcement witnesses.

NYU-Poly and AT&T Small Business Survey Finds Disconnect Between Mobile Device Use and Mobile Security Preparedness
Despite cyber security concerns, few see importance in keeping mobile devices safe
Dallas, Texas, October 29, 2012
While the majority of small business owners allow employees to use mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets, few have taken steps to ensure these devices are kept safe from cyber threats.
According to a recent survey commissioned by AT&T* and the Polytechnic Institute of New York University, 90 percent of small businesses allow their employees to access work email via mobile devices, and 41 percent allow employees to use these devices to access business files. Eighty three percent of small businesses allow employees to use personal devices for work.
Only 65 percent reported information and data security of wireless devices as a concern, versus 91 percent concerned about computer and online data security. Fewer than one-third (29 percent) have installed anti-virus software on smartphones.
The survey** also found that 82 percent of small businesses have taken steps to secure company laptops. In contrast, only 32 percent are taking measures to protect smartphones, and 39 percent to protect tablets. Of the majority not taking steps to protect these mobile devices, fewer than half (42 percent) have plans to increase security.
"There is a troubling disconnect between business owners who want to keep data safe and the necessary steps to protect it," said Ed Amoroso, Chief Security Officer, AT&T. "With more employees using mobile devices, especially personal devices, business data is increasingly vulnerable to cyber threats. Protecting critical information can be easy and affordable, and small businesses need to recognize the reality of today's environment – this is a step they can't afford to ignore."
In addition to mobile security questions, the survey also asked business owners whether their business had experienced a cyber or online security incident. Nearly four in 10 (37 percent) reported being the victim of a security breach, such as a virus, mobile malware or phishing, with 21 percent being victimized within the last two years.
"Small businesses need to better understand their risk profile," said Nair Memon, Professor of Computer Science and Engineering and founding director of The Center for Interdisciplinary Studies in Security and Privacy (CRISSP) at NYU-Poly. "This means treating every device that touches your network, from laptops to smartphones, as vulnerabilities and ensuring that security is built into the equation at every level."
