38 year old woman | Gilbert, AZ, USA | Seeking men 35-40 within 25 miles
Active within 1 week
I am very honest and upfront and a tad on the conservative side in relation to dating and relationships. I guess I could be considered old fashioned. If you are looking for something different, then you may want to look somewhere else, no bad girl here. I like to have fun and try new things. I am a bit of a joker and I love seeing/making people laugh. I don't take myself too seriously and I like to keep things light and easy breezy! I have a hard time sitting still and love to keep it moving, I have a little habit and it's called routine which revolves around a workout. I am hoping to find a true mature courteous gentleman. A man who is both strong mentally and physically; where others are a bit more important than one self. At this stage in my life..mental strength is more important..one can always lift dumbbells, of course, depending on the weight. However, the strength in handling life is another thing where no drama exists or at least how the actual drama is handled. I absolute need a man who is passionate about life, nutrition, along with fitness and even being courteous is extremely important. I am looking for someone with intelligence. I also need someone who can appreciate taking things slow. Someone who is genuine, loyal and sincere wouldn't be a bad thing either
Camping , Coffee and conversation , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Travel/Sightseeing , Wine tasting
Aerobics, Dancing, Other types of exercise, Running, Swimming, Walking / Hiking, Weights / Machines
I exercise 5 or more times per week.
I like Dogs
Golden Retrievers :)
Anywhere with an outdoor patio, good music, better conversation and good people!
My favorite things are animals (puppy dogs), genuine people, laughing, joking, a solid routine and pretty much anything outdoors!
For fun, I enjoy going to sporting events, mostly baseball and basketball, there is nothing better than being at a ball park or stadium and getting hyped by the energy of the crowd. I love boxing, trying new restaurants, and working out.

EU Clears Liberty Global Deal for U.K. Cable Firm Virgin Media
The deal will make John Malone's global cable operator the world's largest pay-TV player and challenge Britain's BSkyB, in which News Corp. owns a 39 percent stake.
LONDON - The EU has approved Liberty Global's $22.5 billion (€17.2 billion) acquisition of U.K. cable giant Virgin Media, with its competition commission saying it doesn't have any concerns about the deal.
The deal will see John Malone's global cable operator Liberty Global take on BSkyB, in which Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. owns a 39 percent stake, in Britain. It also will make Liberty Global the largest pay-TV operator in the world.
At the end of 2012, Liberty Global had 18.3 million pay-TV subscribers along with 9.2 million broadband and 7.3 million telephony subscribers. Virgin Media had nearly 3.8 million TV subscribers and nearly 4.9 million overall consumer cable customers. Comcast ended 2012 with close to 22 million video subscribers, as well as 19.4 million broadband and close to 10 million telephony users.
STORY: John Malone's Liberty Global to Acquire Virgin Media in $23.3 Billion Deal
"The transaction, with a value of €17.2 billion, would bring together the second largest Pay-TV operator in the U.K. (Virgin Media) and the largest cable operator in Europe (Liberty Global)," the EU's competition commission said. "The commission's investigation confirmed that the transaction would not raise competition concerns, in particular because the parties operate cable networks in different member states and because of the merged entity's limited market position in the wholesale of TV channels in the U.K. and Ireland."
The commission concluded that "the proposed acquisition would not restrict competition in these markets because TV content is licensed mainly on a national basis or for linguistically homogeneous areas and because the merged entity would still face sufficient competitive constraint from other players, such as TV content providers and competing pay-TV retailers."
STORY: John Malone's Liberty Media to Take 27.3 Percent Stake in Cable Operator Charter
It added: "The merged entity is unlikely to shut out competing pay-TV retailers by withholding its TV channels from them, given its very limited presence in the wholesale supply of TV channels and the incentive to license its TV channels as broadly as possible. Similarly, it is unlikely that the merged entity would shut out competing TV channel broadcasters from access to the retail pay-TV market, given the number of alternative distribution platforms to Virgin Media's cable network and the importance of offering a large variety of TV channels in order to attract pay-TV subscribers."
Under the terms of the agreement, Virgin Media shareholders will get $17.50 in cash and Liberty Global Series A and Series C shares.

Yeah I appreciate that input. Yes lifestyle change is the key. But like any low carb or low caloried diet, weight loss will occur. This is not a fad diet. If you think in terms of how long this has been around and the number of people who have benefited from it. This diet is a temporary solution to an immediate problem. Your plan looks good. It's what I will be continuing when I finish this diet.
I tried various diets. None of them worked. The only thing that finally worked is
1. Reducing my portion sizes to 75% of my previous intake. (Eat slightly less than you are currently doing)
2. Walking 3-4 km every alternate day. (No need to run, just walk like a motherf** like there is no tomorrow)
3. Well spaced small meals. 2-3 hrs gap. (But don't over eat during these in-between meals)
4. Avoid taxi, car while going to distances which are walkable.
5. Beer once or twice a month and never over 1 pint.
6. Eating (nutritious) quality food is important. But do not starve.
7. Light gym.
So basically a slight lifestyle change. No magical ingredient like lemon, honey, etc is going to make you loose fat. (If you are after that)
Lost 13 kg in 1.5 years.
As others have stated, this isn't a diet per se. It's more of a detox routine to flush toxins out of the system when you're feeling a little low.

Very convenient location. The staff are very friendly and helpful, so are the maintenance people.

We present a perspective on the molecular evolution of the extracellular matrix (ECM) in metazoa that draws on research publications and data from sequenced genomes and expressed sequence tag libraries. ECM components do not function in isolation, and the biological ECM system or "adhesome" also depends on posttranslational processing enzymes, cell surface receptors, and extracellular proteases. We focus principally on the adhesome of internal tissues and discuss its origins at the dawn of the metazoa and the expansion of complexity that occurred in the chordate lineage. The analyses demonstrate very high conservation of a core adhesome that apparently evolved in a major wave of innovation in conjunction with the origin of metazoa. Integrin, CD36, and certain domains predate the metazoa, and some ECM-related proteins are identified in choanoflagellates as predicted sequences. Modern deuterostomes and vertebrates have many novelties and elaborations of ECM as a result of domain shuffling, domain innovations and gene family expansions. Knowledge of the evolution of metazoan ECM is important for understanding how it is built as a system, its roles in normal tissues and disease processes, and has relevance for tissue engineering, the development of artificial organs, and the goals of synthetic biology.
The evolution of multi-cellular eukaryotic organisms from single-celled ancestors was one of the most significant transitions in the evolution of life on earth. It enabled the emergence of larger and more complex eukaryotes that could resist predation, evolve specialized tissues and higher order biological capacities, and colonize new environments. Multi-cellularity evolved independently in several eukaryotic lineages and, in terms of the number of cell types per organism, animals (the metazoa) include the most complex multi-cellular eukaryotes (Rokas, 2008 ). A key mediator of metazoan multi-cellularity is the extracellular matrix (ECM), a multi-component, proteinaceous network that bridges between cells, contributes to their spatial arrangements by binding cell-surface adhesion receptors, and supports cell survival, differentiation, and tissue organization (Hynes, 2009 ). The advantages of increased organism size for more efficient use of nutrients and escape from predation might have acted as selection pressures for the evolution of ECM, and increases in ocean oxygen levels around 850 million years ago likely provided a favorable environment for these changes (Rokas, 2008 ).
Here, we discuss the adhesome of basal metazoa, the modern animals that provide a window on the earliest-evolving ECM components, and consider the expansion of adhesome complexity that occurred in the deuterostome/chordate lineage. Our focus is on the ECM of internal tissues. Specific details are in the supplementary data.
The pathway by which ECM components are secreted from cells is highly conserved in eukaryotes and clearly predates the metazoa (Dacks et al., 2009 ). Many ECM proteins are oligomeric; the most prevalent oligomerization domains are the GXY motifs of collagens that assemble three polypeptides into a supercoiled triple helix, and the α-helical heptad repeats that assemble ECM oligomers from trimers to pentamers. Both the GXY motif and heptad repeat are found throughout the domains of life and in viruses (Odgren et al., 1996 , Beck and Brodsky, 1998 ). ECM proteins also typically contain repeated domains. Many of these—e.g., the vWF_A domain, thrombospondin type 1 domain, or EGF domain—are also of premetazoan origin (Whittaker and Hynes, 2002 , Tucker, 2004 , Wouters et al., 2005 ). Thus, many constituent domains of ECM proteins predate the origin of animals.
With the benefit of recent genome sequences and expressed sequence tag databases it is possible to assess the representation of adhesome components within the metazoa (Figure 1; Supplemental Tables S1–S3; Supplemental File 1). By inference, proteins represented throughout the metazoa were present in the last common metazoan ancestor and so these studies give us insight into the core molecular machinery of the ECM. ECM components that are conserved from sponges to human include the three clades of fibrillar collagens and basement membrane collagen IV (Figure 1). For a GXY triple helix to be stable and assemble into higher order fibrils, additional protein domains and accessory proteins are needed (reviewed by Shoulders and Raines, 2009 ). The fibrillar collagen polypeptides of sponges contain all the expected domains, namely, a triple-helical domain and N- and C-terminal propeptide domains that align three procollagen polypeptides to nucleate the triple helix (Exposito et al., 2008 , 2010 ). Sponges also encode the N- and C-propeptidases that enable higher order assembly of triple helices into fibrils. Thus, the basic machinery for collagen fibrillogenesis is fully present. Correspondingly, collagen fibrils have been identified as macromolecular structures in sponges (Garrone et al., 1975 , Exposito et al., 2010 ). Of the four taxonomic groups of sponges, the Homoscleromorpha also encode collagen IV and contain a basement membrane structure (Boute et al., 1996 ). Other key components of basement membranes, laminin and perlecan, are also present in sponges and are conserved throughout the metazoa (Figure 1, Table S1). Fibrillin, that forms a separate microfibril system, is also universal (Reber-Müller et al., 1995 , Ramirez and Sakai, 2010 ). Thus, three major structural systems of the ECM appear to have originated in the metazoan ancestor.
Surprisingly, ECM components such as agrin, known for its roles in synapses and at neuromuscular junctions (Wu et al., 2010 ), along with thrombospondin (TSP) and SPARC/osteonectin that have specialized roles in vertebrates, are also conserved in sponges (Figure 1 and Supplemental Table S1; Bentley and Adams, 2010 ). The functions of these proteins in basal metazoa are unknown; however, their strong conservation suggests wide roles in the ECM. In mammals, TSPs or SPARC do not self-associate into fibrils, yet they affect the packing of collagen fibrils (Bornstein et al., 2004 , Halász et al., 2007 , Rentz et al., 2007 ). In addition, two major groups of ECM proteases, the matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) and the disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin repeats proteases (ADAMTS), are both also conserved throughout the metazoa (Nicholson et al., 2005 , Fanjul-Fernández et al., 2010 ; Supplemental Table S1 and Supplemental File 1). Thus, the core adhesome apparently includes multiple inputs for regulation or dynamic turnover of the higher order organization of collagen fibrils. This is an important consideration for the design of synthetic, ECM-mimetic, three-dimensional environments.
In contrast, with the exceptions of perlecan and agrin, basal metazoa do not encode secreted proteoglycans equivalent to those of vertebrates (observations from BLAST searches). Nevertheless, carbohydrate-based interactions contribute to tissue organization, as in the cell–cell cohesion of sponges (Bucior et al., 2004 ). These functions might be conserved; for example, a nonsulfated chondroitin of Hydra stabilizes membrane tubulation during assembly of the stinging organelle of nematocytes. This activity is similar to the function of chondroitin sulfate in perineuronal ECM nets of the mammalian CNS (Yamada et al., 2007 , Adamczyk et al., 2010 ). Further investigation of proteoglycan core proteins of basal metazoa by nongenomic approaches (e.g., targeted proteomics of glycosaminoglycan-substituted proteins) is needed to assess the significance of proteoglycans in the core adhesome.
The attachment of ECM components to cell surfaces is also essential for ECM function and transmission of mechanical forces. Certain adhesion receptor families: integrins, syndecan, and glypican membrane proteoglycans and CD36, are present in sponges and throughout the metazoa (Figure 1 and Supplemental Table S2) (Brower et al., 1997 , Hughes, 2001 , Mueller et al., 2004 , Chakravarti and Adams, 2006 , Filmus et al., 2008 ). Others [e.g., dystroglycan and discoidin domain receptor (DDR), a receptor tyrosine kinase that binds collagens at the same site as SPARC (Carafoli et al., 2009 )] originated later within the metazoa (Supplemental Table S2). The high conservation of genes encoding core ECM and adhesion receptors is especially striking for Trichoplax adhaerens, a basal metazoan with four cell types in which a morphologically recognizable intercellular ECM has not been detected by transmission electron microscopy (Srivastava et al., 2008 , Schierwater et al., 2009 ) (Supplemental Tables S1 and S2).
The high conservation of core adhesome components has raised the fascinating issue that their evolutionary origins need to be sought outside the metazoa (King, 2004 , Rokas, 2008 ). On present data, ECM proteins and most of the associated adhesome arose through a major wave of innovation that occurred in conjunction with the origin of the metazoa (Figure 1). Choanoflagellates are considered the closest outgroup to the metazoa (Baldauf, 2003 , King, 2004 ) and genome sequencing for the unicellular choanoflagellate Monosiga brevicollis and the colonial Salpingoeca rosetta has enabled the question of metazoan ECM origins to be pursued in more depth. M. brevicollis and S. rosetta each encode two proteins that contain repeated GXY motifs and several other proteins that contain collagen C-propeptide–like domains (King et al., 2008 , Exposito et al., 2008 ; Supplemental File 1). Vital accessory proteins for collagen fibril assembly, collagen propeptidases and lysyl oxidase, are not encoded. Thus, a current model is that fibrillar collagens originated at the dawn of the metazoa by domain shuffling (Exposito et al., 2008 ). Similarly, although some of the individual domains are present (e.g., the laminin G domain), none of the core basement membrane components are encoded in the choanoflagellates examined to date (King et al., 2008 ). Intriguingly, both choanoflagellates encode a fibrillin-like protein (Supplemental File 1). It will be of great interest to learn whether this protein has fibril-forming capacity. A second intriguing molecule is usherin, which in humans has specialized roles in the retina as an ECM component at photoreceptor cell synapses and in the inner ear as a transmembrane component of the Usher protein network (Reiners et al., 2006 ). The conservation of usherin in Cnidaria (Tucker, 2010 ) and the existence of homologues in choanoflagellates (Supplemental File 1) suggests that a fundamental role in cell interactions remains to be uncovered.
Turning to the adhesion receptors, DDR and membrane-bound proteoglycans are not apparent outside the metazoa (Supplemental File 1). However, the taxonomical representation of CD36 and integrins portrays extended evolutionary histories. A CD36-like protein is evident in M. brevicollis, the opisthokont Capsaspora owczarzaki and the slime mold Dictyostelium discoideum (Supplemental File 1). Mammalian CD36 binds collagen and thrombospondin-1 and also has roles in the internalization of long chain fatty acids, oxidized phospholipids, and lipid microparticles (Silverstein and Febbriao, 2009 ). In the sponge, CD36 contributes to the assembly of aquiferous channels that form a primitive circulation system (Mueller et al., 2004 ). We speculate that CD36 evolved originally for nutritional functions, as in the uptake of prey or lipid materials, and later acquired ECM-binding capacities.
Remarkably, Thecamonas trahens (a protist) and C. owczarzaki both encode integrin α and β subunits as well as key components of intracellular integrin signaling (Sebé-Pedrós et al., 2010 ). These data place the evolutionary debut of integrin heterodimers before the metazoan/fungal divergence (considerably earlier than previous estimates) and indicate lineage-specific losses of integrins in the fungi and choanoflagellates examined to date (King et al., 2008 , Shalchian-Tabrizi et al., 2008 , Sebé-Pedrós et al., 2010 ) (Figure 1). The Sib (similar to integrin beta) proteins of Dictyostelium discoideum are intriguing for their similar function in substratum attachment, yet in structure these proteins are only similar to integrin beta by the presence of an extracellular vWF_A domain and NPXY-dependent talin-binding capacity of the cytoplasmic domain (Cornillon et al., 2006 , 2008 ). Present data do not distinguish whether Sibs and integrin β share a common ancestor or are of independent evolutionary origin. Metazoan integrins function in phagocytosis and cell-cell interactions as well as ECM attachment, and it is plausible that integrins in single-celled organisms have "pre-ECM" roles in signaling cytoskeletal reorganizations during prey capture and uptake. If so, the protist integrins could be of great interest for studies of integrin structure and signaling activation mechanisms.
Deuterostomes in general and vertebrates in particular have many elaborations and specializations of tissue ECM distinct from those of basal metazoa and protostomes. These include novel splice variants (e.g., agrin), gene family expansions (e.g., the laminin, thrombospondin, integrin and ADAMTS protease families; Tzu and Marinkovich, 2008 , Huhtala et al., 2005 , Nicholson et al., 2005 , McKenzie et al., 2006 ), and the evolutionary origin of many novel ECM components [e.g., tenascin, fibronectin (FN), CCN (cyr61, ctgf, nov) proteins, and FACIT collagens (Fibril associated collagens with interrupted triple helices), (Tucker et al., 2006 , Huxley-Jones et al., 2007 , Tucker and Chiquet-Ehrismann, 2009a , Katsube et al., 2009 ; Table S3)]. These innovations exemplify shuffling of preexisting domains into novel combinations (e.g., tenascin, CCN), or inclusion of novel domains (e.g., in fibronectin the FN-I domain is deuterostome-specific and the FN-II domain is chordate-specific) (Kawashima et al., 2009 ) (Figure 1).
Many adhesome components represented by single genes in invertebrate deuterostomes (sea urchin, acorn worm, or sea squirt) form a gene family in vertebrates, most likely due to the two rounds of genome-wide duplication that took place early in the vertebrate lineage (Dehal and Boore 2005 ; Huxley-Jones et al., 2007 ) (Figure 1 and Supplemental File 1). Frequently, as exemplified by syndecan and tenascin, even larger gene families are present in bony fish that underwent a third, fish-specific genome duplication (Meyer and Van de Peer, 2005 , Chakravarti and Adams, 2006 , Tucker et al., 2006 ) (Supplemental Table S3 and Supplemental File 1). The subsequent evolution of the duplicated genes has involved subfunctionalization, such that the modern paralogues are expressed under control of different regulatory pathways in distinct cell-types or tissues (e.g., Sun et al., 2005 , Tucker and Chiquet-Ehrismann, 2009b ).
Collectively, these molecular innovations and gene family expansions have resulted in many changes and additions to ECM network systems (Figure 1). Collagen fibrils are of increased size and molecular complexity, due to presence of FACIT collagens and the repertoire of collagen-binding proteoglycans (Exposito et al., 2010 ). The evolution of hyaluronan synthase has resulted in the presence of large (2–25 micron long), water-retaining hyaluronan/aggrecan polymers in the cartilage and brain ECM of vertebrates (Weigel and DeAngelis, 2007 , Yoneda et al., 2010 ). The evolution of FN fibrils is of particular interest. The predicted FN-like protein of Ciona savignyi contains all three canonical domains (FN-I, FN-II, FN-III) but is unusual in having only one FN-I domain, lacking an RGD motif exposed for integrin-binding, and having immunoglobulin-like domains interspersed with the FN-III domains (Tucker and Chiquet-Ehrismann, 2009a ). For vertebrate FN, fibrillogenesis is a cell-dependent process, requiring integrin-binding and cell contractility in addition to intermolecular interactions between multiple FN-I domains in the N-terminal region (Mao and Schwarzbauer, 2005 ). We hypothesize that Ciona FN-like protein does not form a distinct fibril system, but would bind onto other ECM component such as fibrillin or tenascin, or cell-surface heparan sulfate proteoglycans. Although information on FN in the lamprey and shark is currently missing, it is clear that the FNs of bony fish have all the expected molecular features for fibril assembly (Sun et al., 2005 ). The early embryonic lethality of FN gene knockout mice demonstrates the vital importance of this fibril system in vertebrates (George et al., 1993 ).
Deuterostomes also exemplify many innovations or neofunctions of cell-ECM adhesion receptors (Figure 1; Supplemental Table S3 and Supplemental File 1). Whereas RGD- and laminin-binding integrins exist in both protostomes and deuterostomes, major lineage-specific novelties in chordates include the collagen-binding I domain integrin α subunits and the β subunit clades (Hughes, 2001 , Ewan et al., 2005 , Huhtala et al., 2005 ). Although I domain–containing integrins are present in Ciona intestinalis, their structural and functional characteristics indicate an independent evolutionary lineage (Ewan et al., 2005 , Huhtala et al., 2005 , Tulla et al., 2007 ). The major RGD-dependent, FN-binding integrin of vertebrates, α5β1, appeared after the divergence of tunicates and before the divergence of bony fish (Ewan et al., 2005 , Huhtala et al., 2005 ). The hyaluronan receptor, CD44, first appears in bony fish (Supplemental Table S3). These examples illustrate how innovations, domain shuffling, and coevolutionary events expanded the possibilities for tissue specificity, microenvironmental complexity and subtlety of ECM-dependent intracellular signaling and gene expression. These new potentialities contributed to major tissue and bodyplan innovations, including development of the notochord, the pharyngeal arches and neural crest cells (Zhang and Cohn, 2006 , Jeffery et al., 2008 , Hecht et al., 2008 , Kawashima et al., 2009 ). The origination of cartilaginous tissue based on collagen II provided the framework for the development of endochondrial ossification in vertebrates (Wada, 2010 ).
The above discussion focuses on the core adhesome and the expansion of its complexity. This is not to overlook the vast diversity of ECM that supports distinctive tissue- or species-specific functions. Elastic proteins have evolved in multiple lineages as counterparts to the relatively inflexible collagen fibers (Gosline et al., 2002 ). The production of mineralized bio-composites with remarkable mechanical properties that are based on collagen fibrils occurs in many phyla; the 3-m-long silica spicules of glass sponges and the byssus material of mussels are fascinating examples. Such forms of ECM are of increasing interest to bioengineers (Harrington et al., 2010 , Müller et al., 2009 ). Contrastingly, lineage-specific ECM components can fulfill major tissue functions, as exemplified by the role of lamprin in lamprey cartilage (Robson et al., 1993 ). Given the vast number of arthropod and mollusk species and the relatively low representation of these phyla from sequenced genomes, it is likely that the full extent of ECM diversity remains to be uncovered.
The evolution of metazoa cannot be separated from the evolution of their ECM. ECM representation in modern metazoa exemplifies both extreme conservation and extensive adaptive radiation. This viewpoint has been enabled by comparative genomics, but functional investigations in basal metazoa and choanoflagellates are now needed, complemented by proteomics to identify lineage-specific components. Knowledge of the networks and hierarchies by which tissue ECMs are built is relevant to stem cell biology, tissue engineering, and many clinical conditions. Understanding the evolutionary history of the ECM is an important approach to deciphering these systems.

|Speaker to sue for libel, slander
|Written by News Desk
|Tuesday, 08 October 2013 09:46
Alabama Speaker of the House Mike Hubbard said last week that certain people are trying to defame him and he has employed a lawyer to file lawsuits, if necessary, to stop them.
Hubbard, a Republican from Auburn, has hired Birmingham attorney Mark White to investigate groups and individuals he alleges have made unfounded and libelous statements against him. White told me that some of the people who Hubbard believes have made defamatory remarks about him have already been sent letters. He said Rep. Joe Hubbard of Montgomery was sent a letter but Hubbard said last week that he had not received such a letter. Perhaps he has by now.
Although Hubbard did not name the groups or individuals being investigated, he called them "paid operative bloggers." Some, he said, have made certain accusations about him regarding a special grand jury being held in Lee County to look into possible political corruption.
The public has a right to criticize the people who govern them, so the least protection from defamation is given to public officials. When officials are accused of something that involves their behavior in office, they have to prove all of the above elements of defamation and they must also prove that the defendant acted with "actual malice."
The area of law most implicated by that type of conduct is "defamation of character", a cause of action which is generally defined to include "libel" and slander." Typically, the elements of a cause of action for defamation include:
1. Making false and defamatory statements concerning another, or the unprivileged publication of the statement to a third party (that is, somebody other than the person defamed by the statement).
2. If the defamatory matter is of public concern, fault amounting at least to negligence on the part of the publisher; and Damage to the plaintiff would have to be proved. In the context of defamation law, a statement is "published" when it is made to the third party. That term does not mean that the statement has to be in print.
3. Damages are typically to the reputation of the plaintiff, but depending upon the laws of the jurisdiction, it may be enough to establish mental anguish.
4. Generally speaking, defamation is the issuance of a false statement about another person, which causes that person to suffer harm. Slander involves the making of defamatory statements. Libel involves the making of defamatory statements orally or in a printed or fixed medium, such as a magazine or newspaper.
However, public officials and public figures have a much harder time proving that matters spoken about them are defamation. The public has a legal right to criticize the people who govern them, so the least protection from defamation is given to public officials and public figures. When officials are accused of something that involves their behavior in office, they have to prove all of the above elements of defamation and they must also prove that the defendant acted with "actual malice."
It's an interesting development to stir the political soup in Alabama. As the letters by White are churned out, it will become more interesting. But no matter how much "hot air," relief will only come from a court of law.
Alabama Power will reduce rates
A dispute has been raging as to whether or not the recent action by The State Public Service Commission will actually lower utility rates in our state. The Power Company says the action by the PSC provide an average savings of $30 to $110 per year the average power company customer.
George Clark, president of Manufacture Alabama said this week the rates would be lowered by that estimated amount. It is said to mean a $40 million reduction in the revenues for the power company.
"Some in the media have tried to characterize the PSC's decision as confusing, but it shouldn't be," Clark told me last week. "No one, even those who disagree with the decision, disputes that the PSC decision will reduce Alabama Power's profits," Clark says.
One of the three PSC commissioners, Terry Dunn has stated publically that the PSC decision won't save customers money. "It clearly will," Clark states "and (Dunn's statement) turns the issue into political theater."
A good friend is gone
My good friend Tom DeBray. a lawyer in Montgomery, was laid to rest Tuesday after services at First United Methodist Church. He was just 58; to young to die. Tom suffered a brain anuerism last week. I last saw him when he dropped me off at home after we returned from an Atlanta Braves game on September 26th. He was a great guy with a sense of humor and a great person to have as a friend.

Burlap has become a hit amongst crafters nationwide. With its neutral color and unique texture, crafters are finding unique ways to incorporate burlap into everything.
At our discount printer supplies store, we enjoy proving our readers with DIY Printing Projects that you never knew your Brother Inkjet Printer could accomplish. One unique question that we hear about, is how to print on burlap. Its course material would push most crafters away from the idea that you must stencil on burlap, as opposed to printing, but that's not true. The following printing technique can be used on burlap and on other complex materials as well.
First, gather:
- Freezing Paper (Different than wax paper but located in the same section at the supermarket)
- Burlap (Or other complex material)
- Brother Inkjet Printer
- Hot Iron
- Printer Paper
After you have all of the necessary materials, use a piece of printing paper as your guide to cut out pieces of burlap and freezer paper. It is important to double check that both the burlap and freezer paper are the EXACT size of normal letter printer paper.
Next, use the iron to smooth out any wrinkles the burlap might have. The burlap pieces should be straight and flat. Then, lay the freezer paper onto the burlap (the shiny side should be against the burlap) and use the iron to run over the burlap until it adheres. It is important to double check that the sides have completely 'stuck' to the burlap. If there are any overhanging areas, trim them so that they do not get stuck in your inkjet printer.
Remove all paper from your printer and lay the burlap with freezer paper in the printer. Check that the burlap side is the side that will be printed on by the printer. Now, the moment you have been waiting for… Print! Once you have printed your item, starting in the corner, remove the freezer paper.

The potato is a starchy, tuberous crop from the perennial Solanum tuberosum of the Solanaceae family.
Potatoes are the world's fourth largest food crop, following rice, wheat, and maize. They yield abundantly with little effort, adapting readily to diverse climates so long as the climate is cool and moist enough for the plants to gather sufficient water from the soil to form the starchy tubers.
The long-term storage of potatoes requires specialised care in cold warehouses, as they are vulnerable to moulds that feed on the stored tubers.
