How will I handle being a single teenage mom?
I'm 18 years old and about to give birth to my first baby. I'm scared and not sure how I'll be able to handle the pressures of parenting alone. I'm okay financially, but how will I handle this emotionally?

Time heals hurt hearts. That is true. I was 16when I had my first daughter. Her father was horrible. Cheated, he was a gang banger and hurt other people physically, and was always using drugs. Didn't know any of this till after I was prego. Anyhow, I can truly say we would have been better off without him but, I did the nice thing and let him have time with his daughter, now she loves him and I have no choice. He gave her a camara with pictures of him doing drugs. He tried to punk me in my house. He cut her hair off. Without asking me. And when I was getting married to my husband he said he was coming over to punch us both in the face, but in way worse words. He is in prison and I am thankful. He sends me mean letters. Who cares. He gave me $119 throughout my daughter's life. She is 12yrs old. I think if they show signs of being jerks don't even tell em your havin a baby. And when your kid ask say. I'll give you his name when your 18. Sometimes its best their goneposted 09/04/2014 by babymamabetty
i'm 19 (going to be 20 by the time the baby is born) and am about 31 weeks pregnant. i have my boyfriend who has been the most supportive out of everybody. we don't have a lot of money. i've been trying to get medical insurance but so far, no luck, and it makes me worry how i'm going to be able to continue going to the doctor with all the medical bills. it seems very hard, and i know i'm not doing everything perfectly, but i try my best and i think that's what matters. i debated whether i should keep the baby or put it up for adoption but since i was in the government system before (i was adopted) i know how flawed it is and i don't want that for my baby boy. i have grown to be more excited about my baby. i know it'll be hard, especially if you're by yourself, but just know that if you aren't in love with your baby now, you will be later on. as long as you do what you feel is right for your baby, you will be a great mom. stay strong :)posted 08/24/2014 by a BabyCenter Member
I'm 16 & pregnant, this is my second pregnancy i was first pregnant at 14 when i was raped in october 2013 & ended up miscarrying,now I'm pregnant again and going threw with it. I have no money and a Shady boyfriend any advice? Please no negative comments.posted 05/27/2014 by a BabyCenter Member
I am single and pregnant at 19.. if you have family/friend support, you'll be okay. He might come around (the father) but who knows.. you're strong enough to do this! :)posted 03/08/2014 by emilyjayneeee
Make sure you have support! Make sure the father is held responsible for his end of the parenting. Otherwise you're in for a lot of headache. Good luck and I'm glad you're keeping the baby. You're young and can bounce back quickly.posted 11/03/2013 by theadamsamy

Kmart shoplifting
A 26-year-old Plymouth Township man was arrested on a shoplifting charge July 18 after an incident at the Kmart on Ann Arbor Road in the township.
Police said the man admitted to trying to steal a pellet gun, three boxes of pellets and paper targets by concealing the items in a backpack.
According to a Plymouth Township Police Department report, a security guard told police he was in the store when he saw a man take the items into a restroom with a backpack on, then exit the restroom, seemingly without the merchandise.
The guard went into the restroom and found the packaging for the items, he said.
The man, meanwhile, returned an item, then purchased several other before starting to leave the store. The guard confronted him, and he admitted having the pistol, pellets and targets in his backpack, the report said.
Police arrested the man and issued him a shoplifting ticket with an August court date.

On 3-5-2013, the Demigodz (Apathy, Celph Titled, Ryu of Styles Of Beyond, Esoteric, Motive, Blacastan) will release there first official full-length LP, KILLMatic, and it will feature appearances from RA The Rugged Man, Termanology, Panchi (of NYG'z), Planetary (of Outerspace), Scoop Deville & Eternia with production from DJ Premier, Marco Polo, The Snowgoons, Apathy, Teddy Roxpin, Chumzilla, Skammadix & Will C.
The Year of the Godz
Finally. Should be ill.
Nice…they really trimmed down the lineup though…great cover too!! I've been waiting for them to drop something else…
LP is gonna be a classic! …Speaking of trimming down the line up what I really want is an LP with just Apathy, Celph Titled and Ryu, That would be a perfect line up to me. While I really like Esoteric his voice and flow are an acquired taste that I have to be in the right mood for and the other cats just aren't on the rest's level of artistry. But… LP will be a classic regardless! Cannot wait for it!

Wings in Calgary
Hi !
Could someone recommend a really good place for wings in Calgary (and vicinity) ? I realize that almost every pub in the city serves wings but is there a place famous for it's wings ? (Kinda like the St. Louis Bar & Grill for those Torontonians on this forum.)
I went to Brewsters at the recommendations of a friend but their wings were so dry. Any drier and they would crumbled to pieces when I picked them up. :)
If you haven't already seen http://www.hotwings.ca , then you should definitely check them out.
Not sure if I've ever heard of a canonical wing joint, though. (Our St. Louis Bar & Hotel is famous for an entirely different set of reasons.) I had wings a couple of months ago at the Blind Monk, (10 cent Tuesday) and was satisfied with them. Certainly worth the dime.
re: ByeByeBaby
I'd definitly try Schooner's Pub - Old Banff Coach Road
I never thought the wings at St Louis were up to the hype- now for wings, nobody could touch Mayday Malone's... but maybe my allegiance is just because that was my neighbourhood joint (MM is, or was, on Bathurst a block or so south of Dupont).
I hardly ever order wings anymore; in Calgary the last bunch I had was actually at Moxie's on 17th and they were quite decent. I like places that give you real blue cheese dressing and not ranch.
re: mrdave
I agree with the comment about the Hose and Hound - they have great wings. The wings are not too small, and they aren't overcooked. Plus it's not as busy there as some of the places on 17th.
re: CuriousCat
Regal Beagle (14th or Centre stree)! Also, Original Joes makes decent wings.
re: bohunk
OJ does such good bar food- love their fish and chips too- thank god they're all nonsmoking now!
re: John Manzo
Best wings in Calgary, is in a total dive.. but so worth the trip... Juliettes Castle on 16Ave N just before Deer foot. They have Big juicy wings that are served about 20 different ways. I have been going there for about 10 years.. and I have never been let down.
re: CookieGal
Surprisingly, I had the hot wings at Denny's one night and they were quite good actually, very messy and tasty. Then had them on another occasion and again very good.
re: CookieGal
Totally true - Juliette's is a greasy dive, but they do have fantastic wings - especially the hot ones.
re: CookieGal
Good to know. That's right by home, too! I'll give it a try.
re: CookieGal
ARe the wings at Juliettes still good ?
It's also worth a try at The Unicorn down town, they dont' do a "wings night" (from what I remember) but I do remember their wings being particularly big and moist.
VERY important!
The wings at Nicastros (2418 Edmonton Trail NE) are great. Especially the "house" flavor which is basically a mix of all of the other flavors. Now that they're non-smoking it's even better.
I haven't had my favorite type of wings in about 15 years. They were at Red Robin's of all places. Crispy wings, not to steroidy thick and no disgusting added breading to make them soak up more nasty grease. Why do people like huge wings with piink veins and bloody boones? We are eating wings, do we really need to add a further layer of heart disease induction?
I had these same Red Robin type wings the other week at Bottom's Up, which is an awful sports pub. I have found myself longing to go back for these wings. It's on 17th at about 31st St SW.
re: John Manzo
Thank you, always love your recommendations.
re: BigBrocktoon
I didnt realize the Goldmine had shutdown - they had awesome beef ribs on Wednesdays! How long ago did this happen??
I've gone to quite a few places in the city for various "wing nights". I'll list a few of my faves, and a few places to stay away from.
My favourite wings in the city thus far are @ the Rusty Cage in the Westbrook shopping centre. There's also a Rusty Cage down on Heritage (formerly Studio 82), but I cannot confirm that the wings there are just as good as the ones in Westbrook.
Their 25-cent wing nights are wednesdays (and Sundays too, if I remember correctly), and not once have I been disappointed with the wings. They are not as cheap as some other places, but when you know what you're getting is going to be good every time, it's worth the extra few cents. They have a wide variety of flavours available (25 to be exact). They have your run of the mill flavours such as BBQ, Salt n pepper, Honey Garlic, Hot, etc etc...but they have some more exotic flavours, some of which are quite good. For example, Thai Peanut (my fave), BBQ Jack, Dill Pickle, Johnny Cash (Super hot...aka Ring of Fire...hehe), and spicy parmesan. Also forgot to mention that their Salt n pepper wings are amazing...so tasty! They almost taste like KFC used to taste when I was a kid...before their chicken got all greasy & slimey.
Kilkenny's in the NW is also an ok place for wings, but the service is poor and the quality of wings are sometimes inconsistent. One week you'll get average sized wings, next week they'll be tiny & overcooked.
Classic Jacks on 17th also has a great wing night on wednesdays, but it's almost guaranteed that you'll be waiting a while if you get there anytime after 6pm. They do have one really good flavour called Mediterannean, which is basically greek salad dressing on the wings. Sounds simple enough, but it's quite deelish.
We used to go to Malcolm's on 5th after work downtown, where they have pretty good wings, but now that they have supremely jacked up their wing prices, I won't be going there anymore.
If there is one place to AVOID, it's Dixon's down in the Shawnessy area. I went there just the other night, and the wings were TERRIBLE. I have never seen wings this small, and they were as dry as could be. Picture Nicole Richie going on a meth binge while tanning on the sun....that's how skinny & dry these things were. On top of that, Dixon's has awful service.
re: electroleum
I tried the wings at Rusty Cage in Heritage once, and they were literally raw inside. might have been super busy that night, or maybe there was a new cook who didn't know the proper deep frying time to cook a wing, but i won't try them again
I venture to a few locales for wings.
Limerick's on Macleod Tr has 17¢ wings on Mondays and are tasty. Shillelagh's on Sirocco Dr has 19¢ wings on Wednesdays, and have some great and unique flavours including a fantastic parmesan. I'll second the vote for Regal Beagle's salt n pepper wings. That said, they're breaded and I prefer mine au naturale.
Another one to avoid for wings, suprisingly, is the Wildwood in mission. The last basket I got there downstairs in the pub I bit into the first one and it was still bleeding. Not just a little bit, like oozing out blood from the uncooked centre. Not a good sign. Looking on the positive side they took them off the bill and I didn't die.
Watchman's on 17th are good as are the Kensington Pub. Still never tried the now infamous Regal Beagle wings yet.
this post just keeps on giving... one of my all time favorites is the Black Sheep west coast pub on Elbow drive. Great spot and I've never been let down. www.hotwings.ca has them ranked as #1, and the urbanspoon.com also voted them a high %90. That's my vote for #1.
I like the wings at Boston Pizza, although they are really expensive.
Did I just embarrass myself?
Hi!! Check out The Black Swan Ale House. Off Maclead Trail South S.W. Been there acouple times Wing nite Wed. 22 cent. They have lots of flavors, my flavor is the teryaki wasabi and the cajun.
I used to live in Calgary and i would go and eat wings often. At the time my favorite place was Regal Beagle but i hated how you had to buy drinks to get wings. That was 5 years ago though. Are the wings still good there? Are they still doing the ribs on thursdays too? I also used to frequent a pub (don't know if its still there) on the northwest corner of 16th Ave and 19th street NW which had 15 cent wings and lots of flavors but they weren't the greatest wings.
re: blond_america
That was the worst policy they could have. We left when we found that out.
They are closed anyway so obviously something turned away a lot of customers.
re: chewy_bakah
Probably the numerous and recurring health violations... that's what kept me from going...
They really did have the best salt and pepper wings though, and who doesn't order a couple beers with their wings?
re: Strider
Ya i remember the salt and pepper wings at Regal Beagle were my favorite too. The place on 16th Ave and 19th street NW was called Tipperary's. It was kind of dive but the wings were okay.
re: Strider
Oh yeah that's not the point. Of couse we would have ordered more than adequate drinks. It's when someone says you must drink to get wings...we just didn't like that. Seems just a bit unethical. So what if you want to eat a lot of wings.. do you have to get drunk for a few measly wings? Anyway, we didn't like so we voted with our feet.
re: chewy_bakah
Not that i'm defending the policy but as i remember it you could order non alcoholic drinks too with the wings. But that's not really the point anyways...
re: blond_america
If i recall their non alcoholic drinks ie pop and tea were pretty close to beer prices which in that case you would just order beer. Same thing.
re: chewy_bakah
the beagles closed ..no ,that makes me sad ,loved the wings and had good times there to boot.also who orders wings without beer ,that seems sacrilegious to me .they go hand and hand.when i rule the world ,it will be illegal(on pain of death)to order wings without beer
re: howlin
The Regal Beagle closed up shop on Centre Street shortly after they opened up their south location (just of MacLeod Trail at 94 Avenue). The 14th Street location reamins open to this day.
I agree with Julliette's best wing in town but very much a greasy place. worth going for the wings
1410 Beer House on 17th has a wing's dish called the bartenders special which is a plate of hot wings which are fried, sauced and then finished on the grill. They're regular price which isn't cheap but i like the way they taste. Grilling adds a bit of a smoky taste to them.
I really enjoyed the wings at the Blind Beggar Pub. Their wing night is Tuesday and they serve full size wings for 25 cents each. I tried the Jamaican Jerk and Hot wings and loved them both. I haven't been to enough pubs in Calgary to claim they're the best but they're the best I've seen. Located on the corner of Macleod and 50th.
As mentioned before, my fave wing joint is the Rusty Cage in Westbrook (don't go to the Studio 82 location...nowhere near as good).
And, my fave wing joint just got a lot better. They now have 50 flavours of wings! It may seem like overkill, but we just went yesterday and tasted some of the new selections (a few of which were a result of our suggestions).
I enjoyed the ones we tried. The standouts were Teriyaki Hot, Butter Chicken and Red Thai. We also tried Garlic Parm (not bad), Macho Nacho (also pretty good), Pineapple Curry (wasn't what we were hoping it would be), Sour Cream 'n' Onion (needed a little bit more seasoning).
Some other new flavours (that I can remember anyway)
-Pepper medley
-Peppercorn Brandi
-Ketchup (as in ketchup chips)
-Butter Garlic
-Cajun & Cajun Hot
-Salt & Vinegar
The price did go up to $0.29/wing, but that's understandable when you add a huge batch of new flavours. Also, try and get there before 6. All drinks are $2.75
Best wings I've had in Calgary by far were at Bottlescrew Bills since they renovated the old Buzzard's restaurant section. Not the scrawny gross Sysco wings, big and meaty- and the hot sauce is actually flavourful. The beer selection there is also actually not bad now to go along with the wings.
re: jeffwhit
When did they renovate the restaurant? I may have to give them another try. A few years ago we vowed not to go back because the restaurant was freezing cold and draughty, they were out of most of the beer and the food was bad (dry burgers on dry buns)
re: 23skidoo
Moose McGuires makes a tasty hot and teriyaki version. The wings are grilled, not breaded. Delicious.
re: 23skidoo
I'm not exactly sure because I had stopped going there a long time ago but it's no longer like a barn. The beer list has also vastly changed for the better. I suspect there was an ownership change again. There is at least one waiter who really knows his beer which is a nice change of pace for Calgary. The wings though, really I haven't had better in Calgary.
There was a pool hall in the NE north of Costco on 32 st called JR's. They served a good honey garlic flavor of wings. I'm not sure if this place still exists.

Sooner or later — as Diane Sawyer, Jeffrey Wigand or the National Enquirer could tell you — anyone who makes a living telling the truth is going to need a good lawyer. That's why major metro newspapers carry libel insurance policies the size of Abrams tanks. Their deductibles alone can run into seven figures.
But what if the only insurance policy you can afford is a pith helmet?
Say what you will about the small, nimble news organizations of the future — liability insurance is going to be a problem. I emailed 13 news startups from Atlanta to Seattle to see how they're handling it; the answer, usually, was that they aren't.
"We are more or less without a safety net," wrote David Cohn, of the journalism microfinancing service Spot.us, one of several with similar answers. (He's gotten lawyers to draw up language that attempts to pass all liability to writers who use Spot.us, but of course that's no guarantee.)
Insurance companies, of course, would love to sell a safety net to Cohn and other entrepreneurs. But there's a problem.
Here's the chicken-and-egg dilemma that any new variety of business faces when it looks for insurance:
Your insurance isn't cheap until lots of your peers start buying it. A custom insurance package typically sells for about $2,500 annually, enough to pay for the underwriting calculations as well as the actual risk. If an insurer charges much less, "by the time they do the calculation, they're already losing money," Bob Cox of the Media Bloggers Association said.
Your peers won't start buying insurance until it's cheap. As my survey showed, $2,500 is well beyond the range most news startups will spend.
As an industry expands, of course, things get easier: the insurer can calculate risk once and sell its policy many times. The policy — the pith helmet — goes into mass production. That's exactly what happened for solo bloggers last year, after Cox's association became the first to offer a group libel insurance rate for bloggers, through Axis Pro. (They simultaneously signed on to a new Online Law 101 course for bloggers from Poynter.)
Once that barrier was broken, other groups like the Authors Guild followed immediately. The Online News Association plans to follow suit this fall with a group rate aimed at ONA members: the base premium of $500 a year would bring $250,000 in annual coverage and a deductible between $5,000 and $10,000, according to Rick Fenstermacher, a Miami media insurance consultant working with ONA.
Problem solved, then? Guess again.
Catch One: Teams still aren't covered. The Axis policies offered by the MBA, AG and (soon) ONA are available only to solo writers and one-person newsrooms. Newsrooms with several professionals, counterintuitively, are bigger risks than pajama-clad bloggers; bigger organizations are harder to control and their pockets tend to be deeper.
Catch Two: Serial provocateurs still pay a lot extra. If you've ever drawn a libel suit before — not a successful libel suit, mind you, but any suit that cost more than your policy's deductible — Fenstermacher says you'd be automatically ineligible for the basic policy. Instead, your policy would have to be personally adjusted, at greater expense. (Though still not as high as a custom package: the highest premium Cox has heard of in his group program was $1,200 annually.) Several lawsuits, and you could be totally uninsurable — even if you never lose. I like to think of this as single-serving libel insurance.
Fenstermacher is noodling a solution to Catch One. If his new ONA policy turns out to be sustainable, he said — it'll require at least 750 to 1,000 participants by 2011 — he hopes to put together what he calls "the next stage": a similar program for small newsrooms.
"If it's a small group, say under five, then we could keep a deductible in the $50,000 range," Fenstermacher said. (The details are still vague. Later, he told me his target deductible for a small newsroom would be "something in the $25,000 range.")
Yikes. Either option would be more than the direct legal budget of $20,000 used annually by the Voice of San Diego, which has an editorial staff of 11 and was the biggest, best-armored news outlet in my small survey. If deductibles are that high, many small outlets — bigger than blogs, smaller than all but the smallest papers — are likely to just keep working without a net. Without a pith helmet.
And if most small newsrooms do without insurance, it'll never become as affordable as bloggers' policies have become.
That'd be a shame. Not just because it would leave today's brigade of entrepreneurs in danger. In a world of decentralized media authority, readers and sources will be hungry for any measure of a news outlet's legitimacy. And what's better proof of trustworthiness than the official backing of an insurance company? If quality journalists can't use proof of insurance to set themselves apart from the hacks and hucksters, tomorrow's news minefields are going to be that much harder to negotiate.
Our survey of startups
By the way, here are the results of my small, arbitrary survey of local news startups. Three outlets carried libel insurance:
The New Haven Independent has six full-time staff and a libel package with a $2,500 annual premium.
Jim Walls of Atlanta Unfiltered, a solo act: libel insurance was canceled this summer, but he used cash from an IRE investigative fellowship to buy a $250,000-per-claim, $2,500 deductible policy for $500 a year.
Voice of San Diego, with 11 editorial employees, has a libel insurance policy as well as a $20,000 annual budget for direct legal services.
Ten carried no libel insurance:
Gawker Media Group doesn't carry libel insurance; COO Gaby Darbyshire, a lawyer, handles the company's internal legal duties herself.
Citybizlist.com, with four editorial employees in Boston, Philadelphia, D.C., Atlanta and Baltimore, is "looking into" getting libel insurance.
Coastsider.com, a part-time husband-wife operation near San Francisco, has no insurance.
The Ann Arbor Chronicle, a full-time wife-husband operation, has a lawyer on retainer; at her advice, they've avoided buying libel insurance.
NewWest.net, with seven editorial employees, once had a libel insurance package but eliminated it to cut costs.
New Raleigh's volunteer editorial staff members "have certainly gotten legal threats that make me want to get this kind of protection," said publisher David Millsaps, but they haven't yet.
Bikeportland.org, which has two editorial employees, doesn't carry insurance; they've handled past legal expenses ad hoc.
Seattle political blog horsesass.org doesn't carry insurance. Founder David Goldstein said his volunteer team has "always assumed (hoped?) that folks in our community would come to our legal aid should the need arise."
Spot.us, which has two employees, doesn't carry libel insurance.
Christopher Grotke of iBrattleboro.com, much of whose content comes from users, said neither he or his wife Lise carry "libel insurance for the things we contribute to the site, and I doubt anyone else does."

Seasonal Categories Boost Home Depot Q2
Tuesday August 20th, 2013 - 10:11AM
These are shortcuts to your favorite social networking and bookmark sites. Add this story to your Facebook page, del.icio.us, DiggIt, and many others!
The Home Depot today reported sales of $22.5 billion for the second quarter of fiscal 2013, the three months ended August 4. Total sales increased 9.5% from the second quarter of fiscal 2012 when sales were $20.6 billion. On a like for like basis, comparable store sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 increased 10.7% across the company, while comp sales for U.S. stores rose 11.4%.
Due to the 14th week in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, second quarter sales were impacted by a calendar timing change that resulted in one less week of spring sales in the second quarter when compared to the same period of fiscal 2012. This shift reduced total sales growth by approximately $249 million or 120 basis points, noted the company.
Net earnings for the second quarter were $1.8 billion, or $1.24 per diluted share, compared with net earnings of $1.5 billion, or $1.01 per diluted share, in the same period of fiscal 2012. For the second quarter of fiscal 2013, diluted earnings per share increased 22.8% from the same period in the prior year.
"The second quarter results exceeded our expectations as our business benefited from a rebound in our seasonal categories, continued strength in the core of the store and the recovering housing market in the U.S.," said Frank Blake, chairman and CEO, Home Depot.
In addition, based on its year-to-date performance and outlook for the balance of the year, the company raised its fiscal 2013 sales guidance and said it expected sales to be up approximately 4.5% with comparable store sales up approximately 6% for the year.
At the end of the second quarter, Home Depot operated a total of 2,258 retail stores in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, 10 Canadian provinces and Mexico.

It is a rare opportunity when citizens have the opportunity to support their school district's levy for operations and maintenance without seeing a corresponding rise in property tax rates.
It is even more rare when the cost of the levy is likely to decrease over the course of its life. But this win-win opportunity is exactly what voters have in the Feb. 11 College Place School District levy election.
As recently as 2000, Washington state funding for the College Place district was more than 75 percent of the school system's budget. Now it is about 55 percent. Costs continue to rise and state funding continues to decline. The College Place School District is depending on replacing the expiring operations and maintenance levy at the same level for a full 30 percent of its budget going forward.
The levy is not a tax raise. It is not about building new buildings or adding expensive new programs, it is simply about continuing to support existing programs and operations at levels already approved by voters.
And because the district is growing and state funding is expected to increase slightly in the next several years, the levy is projected to cost 10 cents less per $1,000 of the assessed value of property at the end of its term than at the beginning and the beginning rate is simply what homeowners are already paying to support the schools under the provisions of the current levy.
So I urge my fellow citizens to join me in embracing this opportunity to continue the support for our fine public schools. Please vote "yes" in support of renewing the College Place School District's levy for programs and operations in the upcoming election. The levy focuses on learning and growing healthy, educated kids.
Not only is it the responsible thing to do, voting "yes" is a rare win-win opportunity for the entire community.

I worked at TradeOne Marketing full-time (more than 3 years)Pros
Very laid back atmosphere, fun team-building activities and office parties, they are laid back about "clocking in", in that they don't make you, you just get paid for 40 hrs every week that you're there for the full day every day. Decent sick/vacation pay. Some fun young employees and cool older ones too.Cons
Some of the managers are kind of jerks (while some are great, it's a real crap shoot). Low pay and Almost NO raises. Don't expect any positive feedback for a job well done. Not much transparency from management.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Please communicate better with your employees. If you are satisfied with their work performance, I mean satisfied enough to keep them on and give them more and more responsibilities, please LET THEM KNOW. Make sure and give them feedback on the GOOD things they're doing, as well as the bad. Open communication, and letting them know they're all appreciated will really make it a much nicer place to work, for everyone!Doesn't RecommendPositive OutlookNo opinion of CEO

TradeOne starts you out with 18 days of PTO. This is sick and vacation all rolled into one. They also offer 8-10 Holidays, and the ones that fall on weekends, they give days of observance. It is very hard to get fired. You can do just about anything under the moon, and still have your job. You have to have something like 4 write ups in 6 months and then you are put on probation. Once you're on probation, you start a 6 month period and all previous issues are then cleared. Depending on whom your Assistant Account Manager is or Account Manager for some clients, your job can be veryyyyyyyyyyy relaxed, for the same pay as someone else who works very hard getting things done efficiently and effectively. They do have career advancement in place, unfortunately they start you out so low (10.75 w/o college and 12.25 with) that even with 3 promotions you're barely at 30,000. I will say for someone who didn't go to college, this is a pretty nice gig. After 3 promotions you have to wait for "new clients" to get promoted and ya never know if or when that will happen. The company does have pretty awesome parties 3 or so times a year (with alcohol) where you can essentially get drunk on the job. Also, everyone is pretty young which makes for a good work environment (unless it unravels into drama, which TradeOne is notorious for).Cons
The company tries to have training and development called the "TradeOne University" in place - which makes you feel like punching yourself in the face (if you have half a brain). No 401k with Matching (they do offer 401k though) and the benefits are pretty horrible. Out of each paycheck they take 35 for healthcare and then 15 for dental (this is the old amount, it just went up) and of course, you can choose to opt out. Basically the worst part of working for TradeOne, is that you are taken advantage of. You are talked down to, like you're stupid, yet you're expected to back up the engineers and analysts that get paid 3 to 5 times more than you do. If you're a hard worker, management does notice, but really they can do little for you (that is up to the executives who believe that once you finally get fed up and quit *because you have been looking the entire time you have been employed and have a WAYYYY better job lined up* that they can just hire someone else), that person will then last 6 months - and the cyle WILL continue.
Basically - if you want a "career" that is rewarding - this will not be for you. If you want a paycheck that can help you get by this job will do the trick.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Don't pay your employees comparable to what sign flippers on the side of the highway make. Give your lower-level employees the same respect you give your "engineers" and "analysts" - because not only do we back them and everything THEY do up (like when their applications fail and we have to check EVERYDAY to see if everything is working correctly and then resolve all the errors it caused), but we are the face or better yet, the voice of your company. We are not expendable, and if you invested in us you wouldn't have a GINORMOUS turnover rate (almost 45% new employees every 6 months). Also, try cross training your employees on different accounts and utilize their abilities. Instead of hiring new employees for different accounts, use the ones that have dead time, pay them more, and ultimately save money. Everyone Wins! Business OPS 101.No opinion of CEO

Anyone read Fitness mag.pg 120?
In the September issue of Fitness Magazine on page 120 there is an interesting article. It starts out talking about research studying mutant genes being discovered in families where some members have developed obesity.
Then it goes into discussions of what other experts call the weight rebound effect after a loss of 5% to 10% of body weight and why/how it happens.
Also lots of ideas about the importance of maintaining a significant loss, how hard it is, how the same techniques don't work for different people, etc.
Maybe I'll type up a few quotes I found interesting and we can talk about it?
Or, if you have read it, please share your thoughts with me and share some of the parts you high-lighted or found interesting.
I got a bit of affirmation about where I'm at in my head right now. Meaning, I'm not super worried or focused on losing more at the moment. The important thing is "JUST DON'T GAIN!!!"
At the end of August, beginning of September, I'm going to make a concentrated push to lose another 10 pounds. For now standing my ground is very important while adding in moderate exercise, especially strength training.
There is a lot of talk from experts in that article about how losing weight wreaks havoc with hormones, changing the ratio of Leptin and Grehlin as our bodies try to regain and go back to our top weight. So, the hardest fight is keeping off what was lost.
When we are lighter, our bodies use less calories when we move around. So, the formula for maintaining or losing is "less calories, more exercise" than someone who weighs the same but was never overweight.
I found it very interesting and enlightening.
Although the dumbest "Duh!" sentence in the whole piece is this : "The best way to avoid being fat forever is to not get too fat in the first place."
Oh gee, if only I would have known.....:hyst:
Just typed this quote from that article into another thread so thought I'd copy it here, too:
"...a study, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, suggests that if a person loses 10 percent of her body weight - going from, example, 150 pounds to 135 pounds -- there is a long-lasting change in the levels of hunger controlling hormones which will make her crave food. "The body wants to defend that formerly heavier weight you got to, and it has vigorous mechanisms to achieve that," Dr. Proietto says. As soon as you drop your guard, the weight creeps back on because your metabolism is not working as efficiently. That's why losing a great deal of weight and keeping it off happens so infrequently...
"Simply knowing that you're going to have to apply yourself consistently is half the battle...
"...Everyone in my field now agrees that the aggressive prevention of weight gain is the way to focus our efforts," says Steven Heymsfield, M.D....The simple fact that you're maintaining your weight, even if it isn't your ideal but is closer to a healthy range, is a huge success and will put you ahead of the game. ...."
The author finishes up by saying this: "These findings gave me a welcome perspective and helped me shift my get-fit goal from 'lose 10 pounds to JUST DON't GAIN!"
I have to say, this is not very encouraging, Yam-Yam. :hyst::hyst::hyst:
I guess when I get "serious" about losing weight I always expect it to just fly off. Whenever reading inspiring weight loss stories, it always sounds so darn easy. I guess the thing I can get out of this article is that I need to give myself a break. I have lost over 10% of my body weight and just maintaining and not gaining is a victory! It is just hard when you feel you are doing "everything" right and the evil scale doesn't budge.
The good thing about JUDDD is at least I don't feel like I am suffering for my diet. In years past of trying low carb, etc I always felt like I was missing out and still not losing the weight is needed to lose. Dang that was frusterating! :p
Maybe going in spurts of weight loss mode is actually an easier way to go as it gives your body time to adjust.
Thanks for posting this. Good food for thought. :heart:
Jade: There was a lot more in the article that I high-lighted. One part described why, at the beginning of our weight loss program we lose quickly. It has to to with glycogen stores and the release of water. Then the weight loss continues pretty steadily and we expect it to continue so. Most people (me in the past, for sure!:jumpjoy:) get discouraged at this point because they think they are in a real plateau.
Actually, there is still fat burning going on if you stick to your plans. It may be slower or maybe it just takes longer for the scale to catch up to the amount of stored fat being released. In any event, this is the unfortunate point where we stop doing what we know and actually CAUSE a real plateau, according to the article.
The biggest thing I got from all of it was that we should not get discouraged and we should not give up. Most people who are at a normal weight can maintain with 30-60 minutes of exercise a day. The author suggests that those of us who have lost a good chunk of weight may have to exercise 90 minutes a day and eat less than the normal person just to break even.
Again, discouraging somewhat, but a cautionary tale teaching that we should not give up but instead consider doubling down.
I'm afraid I'm over thinking every thing today. To make myself feel better I went shopping and tried on bunches of cute clothes. I bought two very cute tops and two pairs of shorts. One pair is plaid! Would I ever have bought a pair of plaid board shorts before? NO! N.O. But I look cute and feel great in them.
Patting myself on the back again and re-motivated to stay the course! Woo-Hoo!:jumpjoy:
Interesting perspective... I think this may have been what was going on with me after I hit my 44 pound JUDDD loss. The hunger hormones erupted like Mount Vesuvius!! The hunger craving became very difficult to manage. That is when I decided to try to maintain my loss for awhile. I have NEVER been able to maintain my large losses like this article says. I am very happy to say, (knock on wood) that I maintained that for almost two months now. After that I will try to get another chunk of weight off. This may be the way to go for me. Take a dive down and then hold it for awhile before I go for another dive down. It is amazing to hear myself say that because I still have a long way to go and I don't want this to take 5 years. But I also don't want to gain everything back plus another 5-10% ever again! This is how I got so huge in the first place. Diet, add it all back plus 5-10% more, Rinse, repeat!
This, however, makes me really sad--:sad:
The author suggests that those of us who have lost a good chunk of weight may have to exercise 90 minutes a day and eat less than the normal person just to break even
I just don't know how sustainable that is for me. 90 minutes a day? I hope JUDDD changes this in some way. I hope the intermittent fasting does some healing inside that makes maintaining less difficult!!
After I got that visual in my head, I always picture that staircase. There were about 15 steps up, then the big landing, then you turn and go up another 15 steps.
I might be at the landing right now, going down. :D I have definitely noticed a pattern in my loss. I lost 14 pounds fast. Then stayed there. (a step down). Lost 5 more. rested there. 8 more. Felt like I was completely stalling and creeping up a bit. Started JUDD. Lost 6. Stayed there for several weeks, but lost inches. After that it was more like lose 2. Stop. Lose 1. Stop.
Now I'm on the landing, but the chandelier sure is pretty and sparkly. :hyst:
That's probably a goofy analagy. But, I can enjoy it here. Went clothes shopping yesterday and I feel like celebrating how far I have come so far and just the fact that the weight is staying off. I can see myself descending those 15 stair steps below me. Down. Flat. Down. Flat. It may take me two weeks to get a pound off and two weeks to hold.
So what? I'm healthier, happier and enjoying life and food. Nothing will ever be off limits again. I'll eventually reach my goal in, ummmmmm, 7 months? 8 months? a year?? I'm doing this for me. No one is keeping tabs but me.
This is not a race with speed boats. lol. It's a lazy float down the river on a party boat. :cool: Did I just go from stairs to rivers?? Analogies gone wild!:rofl:
excellent information share Yam.
we know a calorie isn't a calorie and not just from the composition (fat carb prot) but also to the individual body. needing less food and more muscle just to stay even reinforces the idea that 100 cal to someone who was never fat is often more like 130 cal to a former fat carrier. I'm actively back on the river!
Frustrated with myself with the small gain that puts me back at the horrible set point that I fought so freaking hard to get below.
Puts it more in perspective for me though. Why do some people lose weight when stressed?
And why do some people gain weight when stressed? That is the {2} million dollar Q's.

A dear LCFriend found your thread and gave me a link!:jumpjoy::jumpjoy::jumpjoy:
This is what is happening to me.
I have lost around 130 pounds since last March, 2011.
After Christmas I lost around 15 more pounds. Did not gain Christmas, just needed to put that fact out there.:)
I have maintained this loss since then, to today. I have not lost anything in way too long and have plans to start Tuesday on my walk up the carb Ladder, getting to my CCLL. Scarie thought.
I have been on 72` Induction for the past 17 months. Strick INduction:cry:
Finding out that all of my hard work may not have been in vain:) is very encouraging!!!!!
Thank you TONS for posting this!!!!!:hugs::hugs::hugs::hugs::hugs::hugs:
As you can see from my photos, this is not my first time! BUT IT IS MY LAST TIME!!!!:sing:
If I regain this time I will die..............................:sad:
:hiya:b lou who
We have met before! Great to see you again!:hugs::hugs::hugs::hugs::hugs:
Did you read the thread about "why your body wants a break from WL"? I'll post the link in a minute.
People probably get sick of me talking about the great importance of maintaining each loss as we go along in this journey. But, I'm really preaching to myself. I find it very motivating and affirming to know that I'm actually "succeeding" and not failing when my weight stops dropping; but on the other hand, I'm keeping off what I've lost. :)
I'm comforted somehow knowing that this weight rebound thingie I'm fighting and winning is actually a metabolic fact of nature and science and not me doing something wrong.
Now I have some understanding of why, in the past 7 or so years when I managed to lose 10 or 20 pounds, it would come back on so quickly and bring even more. The problem was me seeing that slow down, getting discouraged and going back to my former WOE (the SAD WOE!). My body would re-bound because of that high set point it mistakenly wants to return to.
Now that I know this, I can focus on fighting it. And, I can feel good about winning the fight when the scale does not go UP!
I'm going to post that link for you and then click on your link and read your journal.
You look amazing and I am sooooooooooo proud of you!!!:jumpjoy::hugs::heart:
Here is the link:
I haven't been to my Journal in a while. I was going there a lot but the 72 has gotten so big and busy it uses up all my time. I started my last one, Climbing the Ladder in hopes of finding my CCLL. Just got that toe on it so far. Tuesday is my starting day to start the climb and I am shaking in my shoeless feet.
Yam Yam I bet some think I sound like a broken record too. :)
We really are in a way talking to ourself but, I think a few people may take a step forward in their struggle if they see just a glimmer of hope in my battle to fight this fluff. But no, I dont see it truly as talking to myself. I have met and made friends with so many wonderful great people on this forum. We all help each other soooo much! I have learned more here in this past year than I could have ever hoped to learn (in the real world). To me this forum is the real world. People here speak from their heart in a way one can never do, face to face.
Paying it Forward is so enriching to my life. :heart:
The two other links in my siggy probably tells a lot more about day to day struggles.
I created the journal thread because some said I needed to do it for myself to learn and remember from. Nawww....
The 72's for me is like sitting around a table and enjoying a cup of coffee with all of my wonderful friends:)
In your Avatar, which one is you? :) :) :) :)
Mary Louise: I'm the one in the middle!!! Can you see the resemblance between me and my sisters??? I have 4 sisters (there are 5 of us) and I have 5 brothers. We all look alike, I think.
Yam, nobody gets sick of hearing/reading any of your advice and the information you so diligently seek and put out for the rest of us to absorb.
As most of you know, I took a small "maintenance" break, though I continued to lose. It was the best thing I could have done for my body AND for my psyche. I needed that break, and needed to know that it was okay to take it. It didn't derail me. I've gone on to lose another 20 pounds since then, and am continuing to lose more.
I plan on taking maintenance breaks periodically from here on out, whenever I feel I would benefit from one, or if I stall or slow down signifcantly. I think it's healthy, normal, and beneficial. If it weren't for the "why your body needs a break from WL" thread, I wouldn't have taken the break, and I may have quit.
It IS a victory, sometimes, to simply not gain!
Yam-Yam-- when the article discusses the 90 minutes of exercise, does yoga or callanetics or pilates count? Or are they referring to cardio exercise?
Personally, I refuse to read any articles about how hard it is to lose weight or keep weight off!!! :lol:
But I appreciate everyone's posting info to help each other out. :friends:
I'd like to make a comment on the 90-min-per-day thing (which I imagine refers to cardio/walking, not yoga or weight lifting). Not to be argumentative, but to give y'all hope, I hope! :D
I've been getting into the idea of HIIT lately (and have posted a couple times recently...forgive me for repeating myself...but sometimes one thread will die and another will continue on, so you never know which one will be helping "new" people a few months from now).
My son was doing track last year and I noticed that a lot of the sprinters were big & muscular, but they moved like lightning!!! I commented to DS's grandfather, who used to run marathons. He said long-distance runners tend to be scrawny while sprinters are muscle-y. :D
Please do a Google images search of "sprinters vs marathoners physique"! It's very inspiring!!! :up:
There are a few different camps when it comes to exercise:
prolonged, frequent cardio...strength/functional training...HIIT (high intensity interval training).
The short-exercise people say: DON'T exercise for more than 20 minutes at a time.
:eek: :jumpjoy: :stars: :yahoo: :faint:
But you may have heard that it takes 20 minutes of exercise before you even start burning fat, right?
So of course we need to exercise for hours on end!!! Derrr!!!
People who only exercise for 20 minutes are LAZY!!! :annoyed:
Well, a couple days ago I finally read an analogy that made a bit of sense to me.
If you exercise frequently, and long enough to tap into your fat stores every time, your body thinks, "Oh, we need fat! For next time!"
If you exercise briefly BUT INTENSELY and only burn available glucose/glycogen, your body thinks, "Oh, we don't really need fat. Let's get rid of that so we can move faster."
Also: prolonged cardio may actually cause heart damage. :(
I can't link, but look for this article by Dr Mercola:
"The Exercise Mistake Proven to Damage Your Heart"
Now, maybe for someone like me who needs to lose 100+lbs, I should do longer cardio + HIIT + weightlifting + chopping firewood 7 hours a day?!!!
But for the next couple weeks, I'm experimenting with only doing "sprinting" workouts".
Besides, I hate doing exercise as "punishment" or "payment" for being fat.
When I do fun things (like dancing)/used to do competitive things (volleyball, martial arts), exercise isn't/wasn't a drag at all. And if I got tired or couldn't keep up, I *wanted* to get stronger...so jumping rope or lifting weights was a tool to PERFORM better, not a chore to LOOK better.
excellent perspective pj!
I'm not doing much of any exercise beyond running hither and yon, getting in and out of cars, traipsing through hospitals, and I REALLY want to start riding my bike again. I doubt I do anything with enough intensity. Hope to improve though. I want to exercise for me. For range of motion. For joint assistance. For my lymph system.
"Just don't gain" would be the best long term motto for people with a weight problem!
the cycles of losing and regaining make it all so much harder. it would be far better to stay a good bit above what we imagine to be our goal weight if we can just hold that line over the decades... it's tough.
I haven't had time to read your other thread. yet. But I am going to!:hugs:
Yam YAM thanks so much for sharing the article with us. I too am not too happy about the 90 min thing.... great... I guess I should have never gotten fat! lol. Right now I am trying to lose the amount I regained after starting Judd post hcg. Too many events and temptations for me! I wonder... can I blame the facts of the article for my wt gain? ;) lol or is it mostly my own fault.... lol I just need to stay on track and stop getting derailed. I tell myself... I can't wait to put a success story up in the group but I keep failing . The good news I just keep getting on the wagon again and trying my best. I refuse to give up!:)
The article was more encouraging than discouraging to me. And the point of the line about "don't get fat in the first place" is a moot point as far as I'm concerned. I don't roll around in regret in my life. Everything is what it is.
I remember after my back injury and the onset of menopause I was sitting in the living room with a bunch of family members. My kids, SIL, BIL, kids-in-love, and we were talking about all kinds of things. I remembered Oprah saying that she wished instead of all the self-hatred she had and all the struggling during the 10 years she was at her heaviest that she would have just said, "I'm going to be fat for 10 years" and let go of the punishment she put herself through.
I told my family that and said, "I know you have always known me as a very thin Mom, wife, sister-in-law....but I feel the weight coming on. Just want you to know I might be fat for 10 years. Everyone will just have to deal with it, ok? :rofl:
My SIL and her DH are very judgemental about people's weight. They hounded my DH for years and never let up on him every time he gained a few pounds. One day I was bending over putting dishes in the dish washer and the SIL's hubby started saying to everyone, "Look at her butt. Do you see how wide it is? And it's wider on one side than the other."
I whirled around, almost threw a dish at him and yelled, "Stop it right now or get out of my house! Just stop that! It's so inappropriate!" Thankfully he never said anything to me about my weight again. Of course, I wouldn't golf with them anymore or be in any type of situation where I was alone with them or anything.
Wow, it felt good to vent about that!!!!! Sorry. But it did feel good!:)
Now I can see you!:jumpjoy: You are very pretty:)
I am so sorry to say this but I still have not had time to read your other thread.
I started today on the Ladder and counting kcals and have an UP and a DD.
A/J. A/J has a ring to it. In a couple weeks I should see some results. I started cutting back on kcals a couple days ago and have lost almost two pounds so far.:jumpjoy::jumpjoy:
I am sure many will not agree with me, but for me losing has been F.U.N.:sing:

Oppps double post LOL
I gained weight each time I trained for and ran a marathon. . It made me hungry so I ate more over the day, and the high glycemic fuel was horrid for me. Crazy. Fun to run the distance, but not worth doing it again.
I also spent a lot of my adult life using exercise to battle my eating, and I don't love battle.
I laughed the other day because a friend asked if I'm training for a triathlon. I said nope, just yoga. (I'm still waiting for my Callanetics DVD) She said she couldn't believe the definition in my arms and legs.
So I'm with you. No more long aerobic slogging for me. :):heart:
Very interesting! However, it will be a cold day in Helena before I exercise 60-90 minutes a day. Just saying. I do think that when one reaches goal, that to watch the 3lb gain alert and then falling back, you can maintain. I gained because I did not do that and one day the weight was on. If only....

Classical and Nylon Stringed Guitars
Nylon-stringed guitars have always been poor cousins to the steel-stringed instruments favored by contemporary musicians, but classical and Flamenco guitars produce some of the most beautiful sounds to emanate from an acoustic instrument.
Historically, Spain has been a center for classical guitar makers, as has Italy. In the United States, some of the biggest guitar makers began by making nylon-stringed instruments. Gibson started with nylon, as did Martin.
In particular, Martin has been enormously influential. In the 1950s, its OO-18G, with a spruce body, mahogany back, and rosewood fingerboard, set the standard, and collectors covet such gorgeous examples today.
But Martin's most famous nylon-string guitar is arguably one of the worst looking instruments on the planet. It's a Martin N-20, which was purchased in 1969 by Willie Nelson. Nelson plays with a pick, even though the N-20 was designed to be played by finger-style player, hence the lack of a pick guard. Nelson calls his beloved Martin Trigger, and he's rode his axe hard, so much so that he's carved a deep, ever-widening hole in the front of the guitar between the bridge and the sound hole.

Great accommodation so conveniently close to Disneyland resort. Large clean comfy rooms.
Great location, yellow walls with cute plantation shutters, and a room with queen beds and bunk beds for the kids.
Extra charges, useless wifi, and 1 WASH MACHINE for the whole hotel.
Walls are thin. Could hear neighbors next door and neighbors upstairs
Needs to open at least half an hour earlier. Would have loved to have cream instead of powdered cream for coffee. Many folks can't have the powder for health reasons.
Rooms were clean and roomy. Location is excellent.
The facility over all looked dated. The "breakfast" is just donuts, cereal, milk, orange juice, milk, and boiled eggs. And the breakfast room is real tiny.
Close to Disneyland within walking distance. Many dining options nearby. Comfortable room for couple.
Kitchen facilities basic in couple's room but okay for us because we didn't use.
The location was unbeatable as it is located right accross Disneyland. Staff was nice, helpful and friendly. Room was spacious and the bed was good. Denny's right in front and other einderful restaurants like Tony Roma's and IHOP just a few steps away.
No ramp or an elevator gping to the second floor, so bringing huge luggages upstairs is difficult.
The location to Disneyland can't be beat.
Parking is tight and breakfast was so-so.
Location & value can't be beat for a trip to Disneyland!
As a family with older children, we should have requested the 2nd floor. We had a family with young children who were running around upstairs above us late into the night and early in the morning.
the location is great - right across the street from main gate
the rooms are run down. The bathrooms are very small.
The location, the staff, early check in, parking was great,
Bed, on the first floor you can hear the foot steps above
Everything was great. Wonderful staff, perfect location, well maintained pool and hot tub, good price.
Everything was great.
Location was very near Disneyland, the purpose of the trip. The bunk bed configuration also worked well for our party of 5. Beds were reasonably comfortable.
Walls were very thin, we heard people talking late night and early morning - hard to get a good night's sleep. Sub-par cleanliness - found an unused swim diaper and a sock under the bed, bathroom had dirt build-up in corners. The tiles in the bathroom were not properly set as they shifted when you stepped on them - I would guess causing mold build up underneath floor where water seeps through.
The staff are fantastic, great value for money, love disneyland.
you cant not like anything! your in disneyland
The location was perfect, pool and hot tub were nice. My kids really enjoyed the bunkbeds.
The bed was hard as plywood WIFI NEEDS TO BE FIXED, They have 2 WiFi routers but neither of them work. Takes forever to get onto WiFi and even when your on it still very slow and can never actually do anything.
I will say that I have been coming here for the last 5 years! And as a parent of young children it is amazing to leave disneyland at the end of the night and be back in your room unless than 5 minutes!!
I have to say that I have been coming here at least once a year for the last 5 years and have never had much to complain about. This time, though, I will say that the beds were horrible! I have never had this problem so I am not sure what happened! But that is my only negative comment!!
The pool was not heated
Quiet, clean, maintenance was quick and current, staff were all friendly and knowledgable about their jobs and "The Park"
Parking, too few chairs in room for four, manager needs to be more diligent with regard to stocking tickets
Its close to Disney.
Breakfast, cleanliness, room looks old need to be renovated. No workout room.
The kids room smelled like mildew
The location near Disneyland was good . But are stay was a nightmare. 1st night our sink was pluged with black water and they didn't fix it and had to move us the 2nd day. The manager was not present until the 3rd day and he was not very accommodating. The four night my husband was bit up by bed bugs and I as well. All the manager wanted to do was give us $70 off. This experience was a nightmare. Would never suggest the Del Sol in Anaheim .
My daughters had bites on their bodies from sleeping on their bed and bed bugs is what comes to mind. Aside from that it was good
Location Free breakfast Free wifi Clean sheets
Old Smelt a little bit
Location was excellent. Bed comfortable. Pool nice staff friendly and welcoming.
Noise of people walking in upstairs.
Good walking distance from Disneyland. Clean room.
There was nothing I didn't like about my stay.

Will Oklahoma State's Up and Down Season Lead to Dallas?Posted by Kory Carpenter on March 21st, 2014
For teams receiving at-large bids in the NCAA Tournament, there isn't a worst spot to land than an #8 or #9 seed. Because unless your postseason goals begin and end with winning one game, your March dreams more often than not will be dashed in the first weekend. Since the tournament expanded to 64 teams in 1985, #1 seeds have reached the Sweet Sixteen almost 85 percent of the time. Nine-seed Oklahoma State will be facing those odds this weekend in the San Diego pod. They face #8 seed Gonzaga Friday afternoon and would more than likely see #1 seed Arizona in the Round of 32 should they get past the Bulldogs. That game is a tossup, but we're talking ceilings here and the biggest obstacle to Oklahoma State reaching its ceiling will be waiting for them in the Round of 32.
For most #9 seeds, their realistic ceiling is playing the #1 seed close. But Oklahoma State isn't your typical #9 seed. The Cowboys began the year with Big 12 title and Final Four hopes. But they lost their leading shot-blocker, junior forward Michael Cobbins, for the season with an achilles tear on Dec. 30. Sophomore guard Marcus Smart's meltdown against Texas Tech led to a three-game suspension in early February, which came in the middle of a seven-game skid that had people questioning if the Cowboys would even make the NCAA Tournament. But Smart has played better than he had all season since returning on February 22, averaging 18.7 PPG and 6 APG. His team is 5-2 in that stretch with losses in overtime against Iowa State and Kansas. Oklahoma State has its flaws. Travis Ford isn't the best in-game coach in the world and they are one of the smallest teams in the country. But their talent far exceeds their resume, and therefore, their seed.

CHICAGO (AP) -- The U.S. District Court in Chicago has ordered Cook County's clerk to issue a marriage license to a same-sex couple, one of whom is terminally ill.
County Clerk David Orr said he will comply with the court's order, handed down Monday by Judge Thomas Durkin.
A lawsuit was filed Friday by Lambda Legal and the ACLU of Illinois seeking immediate action for Vernita Gray and Patricia Ewert. Gray has bone and brain cancer. Illinois' gay marriage law goes into effect June 1.
Camilla Taylor of the gay rights group Lambda Legal says Gray wishes to marry the woman she loves before she dies.
Orr says his office will expedite a marriage license to Gray and Taylor, adding it's a service already granted to heterosexual couples in similar situations.

"What the Court did not do on its last day in session I will do on my first day if elected President of the United States. And that is I will act to repeal Obamacare.... Obamacare was bad policy yesterday. It's bad policy today. Obamacare was bad law yesterday. It's bad law today."
"Simply put, Congress may tax and spend." With those historic words, the Supreme Court forced upon the United States a bleak dawn of a brave new world in which the federal government cannot be checked in its march toward totalitarianism.

Republican voters in Utah Tuesday handed six-term Senator Orrin Hatch another victory that will more likely than not put him pack in Washington until 2018 when the self-described "tough old bird" will be 84 years old. His primary opponent Dan Liljenquist, a former state senator and Bain Capital manager, didn't even manage to capture his home county's vote in Tuesday's GOP primary.
The attorney for accused document leaker former U.S. Army Private Bradley Manning won a pretrial motion for full discovery of exculpatory evidence in military court June 25, according to various news sources.
The man whose wife fell victim to the Chinese government's strict one-child policy has gone missing after he posted photographs online of his wife and their aborted baby. Government officials had forcibly aborted the late-term pregnancy earlier this month, prompting an international outcry and, consequently, leading to the suspension of three officials in the Shaanxi province.
On Monday, President Obama approved the loan of nearly $126 million to the communist regime in Vietnam to purchase a satellite from Lockheed Martin. In his memorandum to the Secretary of State to authorizing the loan, President Obama insists that making the loan was "in the national interest of the United States."
