8099 PRO Eclipse
Good idea. Poor construction. Over the years, I've had a lot of compasses as a 17-year-member and Team Leader of a local S&R organization. They just interest me and I get a lot of use from them. I've owned several Bruntons, Silvas, and Suuntos among others. Every Brunton I've owned eventually got a bubble in the capsule. None of the Silvas. The disc (needle) of the Brunton also jumps off the needle it rotates on, causing it to tip off at an angle. It's just bothersome for the amount of $ one… Full review
Solaris USB
Good inexpensive product. Very durable and efficient. I have had quite a few different brands of these panels and these are some of the best for light use. Picks up well in indirect sun and continuous charging with very little. Brunton has never been a popular product where I live and that is where the benefit is reaped. These are much better panels than Goal Zero panels in a comparable size. They can also be picked up for much less money. I bought mine on eBay new out of the package, for a display… Full review
Fair product for getting by. Seems more like a gimmick. This is a good unit if you only need to keep your cell charged or maybe a simple GPS. Doesn't store much power and charges very slowly. Doesn't include any adapters, only a double ended cord with a USB on one end and mini USB on the other. Takes an insane amount of time to charge. Doesn't have an indicator light other than the one that shows how full the battery is. Probably because it wouldn't charge if an indicator light blinked continuously… Full review
10B Baseplate Compass
There were two major needs for this compass: 1. It must have 2 degree increments and 2. Must be able to set declination. It has both! I bought this compass for navigation in the backcountry. It has worked fine. I can set the declination to my area without needing any tools. The only thing that worried me was if I would accidentally adjust the declination because there is no tool needed but I haven't had any issues with it. For a compass for under $15 I think this is a fine addition to the Ten Essentials! Full review

The April 21 meeting was opened in the conference room of City Hall as usual but was quickly adjourned and reconvened next door at the D.V. Childs Civic Center to accommodate the unexpected crowd of people who attended the meeting.
Mayor Pro Tem Ed Barbee presided over the meeting.
Finance Committee Chairman and Councilman Terrell Fulford gave a brief financial report for the city to begin the meeting. He said the city's finances are in good shape with 96 percent of 2013 property taxes collected.
Mayor Stephen Tingen suggested that the city implement a purchase order system to help the people signing the check to understand reason for the check. Tingen said he did not like signing a check without knowing what it is for.
Fulford said he did not feel requiring purchase orders was feasible for the city and noted that, before the checks are prepared for signatures, the expenditure had already been approved by council.

Comments about Outback Trading Co. Outback Unisex Kodiak Hat:
Personally, my favorite feature of this hat is its wire brim, which allows the brim to be shaped to my personal preferences and whims. Unlike the floppy oilskin and kinky wire on my other hat, Outback used a substantial wire, and a good heavy oilskin that hasn't creased on mine yet. (Still, do bend slowly and with some care).
There were some unexpected differences in my hat. My leather hat band came a faded peachy kind of color, quite unlike the photo. It was certainly made of genuine leather, but I would have much preferred a nice, dark, distressed finish on the leather. Peachy wasn't exactly what I liked or was expecting. However, the leather has improved with time. It is now quite a dark color - perhaps due to a few accidental coatings of Duckback. My hat also arrived looking rather black, but it quickly became a nice dark brown after being exposed awhile to the sun. (You do want to apply DuckBack cream occasionally, to maintain the color and waterproof qualities of your hat.)
Another unexpected difference...my hat did not come with either a leather chin cord or a wooden keeper as pictured. Instead, it had a shoestring type cord with a plastic keeper. That was a disappointment - I had looked forward to a genuine leather chin cord. But the "marine-style" cord also included an unexpected, but neat, feature - it looped about the back of the head, allowing the hat to tighten more securely in high winds. Which is a plus, in my mind. Another unexpected feature was that Outback had added a neat little pocket in the hat. For one who loves pockets, that was a nice surprise! (Even if the pocket is a bit tiny to be very practical).
Overall, and in spite of the unexpected differences, I can say I have been happy and pleased with my Kodiak. Outback obviously put a lot of effort and design into this product, and you get a quality, well made, (not to mention good looking) hat!

Rose Wylie RA Elect
"In answer to the question, 'How do you know when a painting is finished?' You don't until you see it. Something just impels you to stop because it looks alright."
Architecture is a public art, and is never really finished. When a building is completed it's the beginning of its life – a life which really only starts when people inhabit and breathe life into it. Buildings change, evolve and grow.

After contemplating a drop down to middleweight, former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Light Heavyweight Champion Rashad Evans has decided to stay put.
"Suga" recently ended his two-fight skid by defeating Dan Henderson via split decision at UFC 161 last month and now that he's back in the winner's circle, he isn't looking to let up, as he eyes a fight against another former division champion Mauricio Rua.
But only if the Brazilian striker manages to topple Chael Sonnen in the main event of UFC Fight Night 26 on Aug. 17, 2013 in Boston, Mass.
From "UFC Tonight:"
"Rashad has nixed a move to 185, and wants to fight in October or so. He zeroed in on the winner of Sonnen vs. Shogun. He says, I have a lot of respect for Chael, but I'd really like to fight him."

It's in preparation for the new Apple Tablet or whatever it is.
Seriously, I doubt AT&T cares, since the $30 per month 3G data plan actually costs $43 per month to consumers, and there's a 5GB per month limit anyway. Apple would want to enable tethering in part because it limits the interest in jailbreaking the phone, increasing app store revenues, and gives them the ability to provide tethering to all their notebooks (and of course others). For consumers, it means we don't have to buy a 3G sim card wireless router. Hurray.
NetShare Uses Your iPhone's 3G/EDGE For Your Computer (Update 2: Yeah, gone again)
Update: Macrumors lets us know that, strangely enough, it's back in the App Store. It doesn't show up in a search, but you can download it via this iTunes/App Store link.
Update 2: ...aaaand it's gone again, at least in the US. Le Sigh.
The Interweb is abuzz about this little program that popped up on the App Store yesterday, so aptly named NetShare. The concept of the app is to essentially use your iPhone's 3G or EDGE (god knows why) connection for your laptop. It creates a proxy and establishes a pseudo-hotspot with your iPhone's connection leaving you free to surf the web on your laptop. It's tethering, more or less.
How this got passed Apple and AT&T who knows. But it looks like has already been kicked out of the App Store. Did any of the TiPb faithful get their hands on this app while it was hot? Anyone get it to work? From what TiPb has been hearing, it's really hit or miss. Let us know.
Maybe Apple wanted the developers of NetShare to get the app right before they put it out again...wish for it and it'll come true...wish for it and it'll come true.

NetShare Uses Your iPhone's 3G/EDGE For Your Computer (Update 2: Yeah, gone again)
It's in preparation for the new Apple Tablet or whatever it is.
It wouldn't surprise me if AT&T had anything to do with this. With their PDA phones, you have to pay an extra monthly fee to tether your phone (according to AT&T) even if you have a PDA plan for your phone.
I was just on the app store reading the reviews on it and as soon as I saw a review saying someone OK'd it through AT&T, I went back to buy it and a popup came up saying "the item you have chosen is unavailable" or something. This was done on my iPhone of course, and I will try the iTunes app store ASAP. Hope this helps.
I downloaded this Friday night from iTunes UK and spent several hours getting it to work on an XP PC. It's a bit of a workaround and requires Proxifier to also be installed on the PC but works just fine. I now have an O2 unlimited 3G connection in my laptop running through the iPhone.

National Alliance on Mental Illness
page printed from NAMI East Bay
We are thrilled to announce that BACS (Bay Area Community Services) will be offering four Alameda County Wellness Centers, starting this January. The concept of a Creative Living Center, where our folks with Serious Mental Illnes can come to socialize and participate in activities, has been put on an administrative back burner for a couple of years, despite our pleas and advocacy. They're not only back but they will be available 6 days a week and holidays - for longer hours. The sites will be located in Oakland, Fremont, Hayward and Pleasanton. Please go to www.bayareacs.org/creative.living.centers.html for full schedules. ALL participants are welcome - there does not need to be a BACS connection. Thank you, BACS.
We celebrate our 50th anniversary as an organization in 2015 - and here are some of the newish projects we're considering. Please let us know your interest - by phone or email:
GAME NIGHT FOR FAMILIES AND RELATIVES - we envision some structured table board/other game activities for whole (adult) families, with pizza - donations will be accepted.
CONSUMER-FAMILY DIALOG SESSIONS - a continuation of the six sessions already completed last summer/fall around the issue of AOT - other topics will be the focus.
HEARING VOICES GROUPS - see below.
The Hearing Voices Group for family members will be starting on Thursday, Jan 22, and meet every two weeks thereafter, for 5 or 6 sessions, in Albany. The group will continue to explore compassionate aproaches to being with, dialoging and understanding our loved one's experiences, whether it is hearing voices or experiencing visions or different realities. We will learn tools for coping with these extreme experiences while also gaining a better understanding of their meaning and content. If you are interested in joining or have questions, please email Ed Herzog at email@example.com prior to attending the group so we have an idea of how many folks are coming.
We are also starting a group for those who hear voices, have visions or other different realities. The group starts on Monday, January 5, in Albany and will meet every 1st and 3rd Monday of the month. Prior to attending, please contact Dina Tyler at firstname.lastname@example.com. The group will be run by and for individuals who have experienced voices, visions, extreme states or unusual beliefs - all leaders have been gone through training. The purpose is to share experiences so that there is better understanding and support for each other. Those in the Hearing Voices Network (HVN) understand the experiences to be real and meaningful. "It is not so much the voices that are the problem, but the difficulties that some people have in coping with them". Refer to www.bayareaheariangvoices.org or http://www.intervoiceonline.org.
This series of six sessions is being offered by Berkeley Mental Health's Spirituality Initiative for consumers/clients and family members. Topics include Gratitude What is Spirituality for You, Listening as a Spiritual Practice and Hope. Sessions will be held from 10:30-12:00PM, Thursdays, January 15-February 19, 2015, at 2640 MLK, Jr. Way in Berkeley. Contact Bill Kruse, Pastor, or Chase Montara, R.N., co-chairs at 510-981-7646.
A NAMI group will be forming on the University of California Berkeley campus later this academic school year. The organization will be for both students who are experiencing their own mental health challenges and those who have family members similarly challenged. Other students who have a personal or pre-professional interest are also invited to join. NAMI EastBay will be involved as a collaborator, endorser and sponsor and we are looking forward to this opportunity to increase our voice and presence on campus. Our student liason is Julie Bernardo - email@example.com; please contact her if you are interested in seeing this happen. We also ask the NAMI families who have UCB connections to participate as well. Right now, Julie is involved with doing the paperwork and it will help that process if others are ainvolved.
ABLE -The U.S. House of Representatives has voted to approve a bill that would establish a new way for people with disabilities to save money without risking their government benefits. The ABLE or Achieving a Better Life Experience Act passed by a vote of 404 to 17 in early December and has now moved on to the Senate. Under current rules, many individuals with disabilities can have no more than $2,000 in assets in order to qualify for needed government benefits. The ABLE Act woauld dramatically alter that scenario, allowing people with disabilities to establish accounts at any financial institution where they could save up to $14,000 annually under current gift-tax limitations. The accounts could accrue $100,000 withouit jeopardizing eligibility for Social Security and other government programs. Meanwhile, the legislation ensures that those with disabilities can retain Medicaid coverage no matter their ABLE account balance. Funds deposited in the proposed accounts could be used to pay for education, health care, transportation, housing and other expenses. The bill's lead sponsor is Rep. Ander Crenshaw, R-Fla.

As we become better informed, we will be inviting local housing specialists in for consultation. The July meeting will get us up to date on the alphabet soup of public/private partnerships.
AB1421/ASSISTED OUTPATIENT TREATMENT/aka LAURA'S LAW
Alameda County Behavioral Health Care Services (ACBHCS) has released their AB1421 revised ten recommendations, which are now available on the BHCS website http://acbhcs.org/. The Board of Supervisors Health Committee reviewed these recommendations on Monday, Oct 28, 2013, in a meeting which included substantial public comment, both pro and con. Supervisors Chan and Carson sent their recommendations onto the full board. In late February, 2014, the full board was presented with ten recommendations developed by ACBHCS, with the last one concerning AOT (Assisted Outpatient Treatment). In the all-day meeting, there was ample public comment. At the end, by a vote of 3-2, the decision was made to postpone a decision for 90 days and direct the county staff to convene a stakeholder group and develop a "compassionate" recommendation to meet the needs of the population in question. The stakehold group of around 30 individuals, including four family members and four consumer representatives, met the first time on April 23, under the direction of an outside consultant. There will be three more meetings before the end of May.
As an offshoot of the public hearings, a group of seven consumers and seven family members is setting up and engaging in a group dialog so that differing perspectives can be shared away from the public venue where there is a time limit, TV cameras and recording. This group met for the first time on April 26, and a series of meetings are anticipated. Eventually, this will be a more open group, and hopefully there will be some collaborative advocacy efforts.
Are you a consumer who had enjoyed a student life or stable work career only to be stopped short by a psychotic episode or other form of mental illness? Are you struggling with stigma, discrimination and life choices? Are you fairly insightful about your current situation and on the path to recovery? Have you visited support groups and found you didn't identify nor relate to other group members? We've been hearing from some of you about your desire to connect with others in a similar situation, and NAMI EastBay wants to be the conduit for your networking efforts. Send us an e-mail (email@example.com) with "Networking" as the subject line or call 524-1250, leave your name and we'll get you connected with the group that is getting started.
The Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act of 2008 (MHPAEA) was enacted but a final rule implementing the law has not yet been issued. The Administration needs to hear from patients and providers who have experienced parity violations. Examples may be plans denying or more strictly managing mental health and addiction treatment services than other plan services, limited outpatient sessions, too low reimbursement rates, labeling and consequent rejection of treatments as "experimental", non-coverage of intensive outpatient or inpatient care, etc. Send an e-mail documenting this issue to email@example.com, email@example.com or email@example.com, along with a copy to firstname.lastname@example.com. An associated website is www.parityispersonal.org. Or you can call the Dept of Labor at 866-444-3272 or Dept of Health and Human Services Center for Insurance Information and Oversight at 877-267-2323 X61565. Be sure to obtain a tracking number.

Unfortunately, the second line of that title could be ONGOING. Does it ever end? As you're probably aware, the Governor and state legislators are eyeing the funds in the MHSA (Mental Health Services Act) and proposing that they be diverted to more general purposes to help the state in its fiscal crisis. Since the voters approved this fund in 2004 via Proposition 63, the funds can only be re-allocated via another vote by the electorate. Please keep informed and notify your legislators regarding this. Check the advocacy website for more information: www.nami.org/stateadvocacy. Click on the CapWiz link to find your California legislators.

JJ asks Rory to hook him up with some cocaine for Theresa, Theresa sets her sights on an older man, and Rafe learns Sami shot Joe Bernardi.
In the hospital, Jenn hands Maxine Salem Style Magazine. Daniel made one of the top ten doctor's list. Maxine toddles off and JJ gives Jenn documents she left at home. He heard about her and Daniel's break and talks about how much better he's been feeling. Theresa rushes in and JJ acts surprised to see her. She flashes to asking him for cocaine. JJ leaves and Jenn tells Theresa, things aren't working because she's not doing her job. Theresa works up some tears and blames personal issues interfering with her job. Jenn's not buying it. Her family hasn't even seen her and is worried about her. She needs to decide today if she wants this job because Jenn won't lie to Kayla about her performance. Jenn leaves and bored, Theresa runs out. Gabi feeds Rafe in his room. He is now clear Sami didn't shoot him and Cameron declares the guy who hurt him won't hurt anyone again. Cam leaves and Rafe asks why Kate hasn't been there. Gabi calls Kate to ask her over and Rafe asks the orderly for a newspaper. Kate arrives and Cameron asks her to be circumspect with Rafe who doesn't know all the details of what happened to him. She goes in to see him. He's trying to move his hand. His speech is slow. She's sorry she didn't come sooner. She wasn't sure he'd remember they were together. He holds her hand, glad she's there. She tells him neither Stefano nor Sami did this to him. He can still hear the gunshot ringing in his ears. Rafe says it took two months in a coma for her to come back to him. She knows. She was an idiot. He's dying for a chocolate milkshake. She tells him she'd do anything for him and leaves the room. The orderly takes in the Salem Spectator with the news of Sami's arrest on the front page. By the hub, Maxine hands over Salem Style Magazine and asks him to leave it on Jenn's desk after he reads it. He does so and writes a note as Theresa returns to Jenn's office and gives him a once over. Kate returns to Rafe's room with a milkshake and he demands to know why Sami killed Joe.
Daniel drops by the rectory to tell Father Eric about his new theory about his poisoning. Nicole interrupts. It's awkward. Daniel gives them privacy. Eric says he has a meeting with Daniel but needs to talk to her about their relationship. Nicole assumes it is about EJ stirring the pot by saying she's in love with him but Eric wants to discuss their conflict over his loyalty and Nic's hatred of his sister - after his meeting.
Brady shows up on Kristen's doorstep with daffodils. He wonders what she's been doing. She flashes to doing his brother the priest but shrugs. "I've been busy." They take a walk.
JJ meets Rory at school and stops him from doing a drug deal in broad daylight. Bev walks up. JJ wants to buy coke from someone. "Is it for that thing you were hanging out with?" Rory asks. He'll hook him up tonight. He leaves a message for Theresa about it.
Daniel introduces Mason, a forensics detective, to Eric at the pub. Mason's going to examine Eric's room in the capital and check the security footage. If he was poisoned, it was in that room. Eric wants this but a part of him doesn't want to face the fact that he has made an enemy.
Kristen and Brady joke at Mandalay that the only reason she hasn't visited Sami in jail is because she doesn't want Sami to be charged with another murder. Nicole walks up and gasps. Brady takes her aside and tells her what's been happening and asks her not to judge. He reminds her of her own imperfections and how she can't get Eric out of her system. Nicole refuses to pick up the pieces after Kristen stomps all over his heart again.
Gabi finds Cameron on a bench at the park. They grin at each other and make small talk.
Nicole bumps into Jennifer at the pub. They're both in need of a drink. They're civil. They both admit neither has read the latest book in the book club and Nicole brings up trouble between Jenn and Dan. Nicole reminds her she made it through Chloe and her. If she keeps throwing Daniel away, one day he won't come back.
Brady and Kristen arrive to the Kiriakis mansion. EJ calls and Kristen leaves the room to take the call. Eric shows up and tells Brady about Daniel's idea to have Mason comb the hotel room where he was poisoned. The guys hear a smash and run in to find a nervous looking Kristen has dropped something.

Friday, June 6, 2014
Ashley Ridge goalkeeper Stockton Blanchard and Fort Dorchester midfielder Spencer Wilder will suit up for the South later this month.
They are two of only eight Lowcountry athletes selected to play for the South Boys All-star Team during the South Carolina High School Soccer Coaches Association North-South Classic. The annual all-star soccer match, for seniors only, is scheduled for June 28 at Blackbaud Stadium.
Blanchard, who has also been named to the All-state Team, is a four-year starter in goal for the Swamp Foxes.
The keeper had 16 shutouts this spring and finished the season with a .91 Goals Against Average. He has signed to play for the Radford University soccer program next school year.
Stockton is the kind of player any coach dreams of; a driven and self-motivated athlete, Ashley Ridge coach Nate Harris said. He was my captain for two years and as captain he was in many ways an extension of the coaching staff leading by example and holding his teammates to a very high standard. There were multiple games in his career where he simply refused to let us lose. He will be missed as a player, but we look forward to having him as an alumni presence for years to come.
Wilder is a four-year letterman and three-year starter for the Patriot soccer team. He spent most of that time as a center-mid but also saw a lot of time as a forward his final two seasons at the Fort.
Spencer was our most experienced player, Fort Dorchester coach Chris Jones said. He is the guy everyone looked up to. His teammates voted him, pretty much unanimously, to be team captain. He is very intelligent and having someone who understands the game like he does gave us a tactical advantage. He was an integral part of our team. He basically pulled everything together so that the things we wanted to do worked.
Wilder plans to attend College of Charleston and is considering attempting to walk on the boys soccer team.
Other Lowcountry representatives on the South All-star Team are Christopher Corontzes and Jackson Karolczyk of Wando, Logan Devereux of Hanahan, Alex Lanning of Academic Magnet, Luis Lemus of Stall and Juan Villa-Bailey of West Ashley.

text: Just reading that B&N is closing about 1/3 of their stores. They claim the electronic books sales are hurting them! That's a bit hard to understand since they sell them and presumably profit from those sales. My local B&N is so crowded on the weekends that you can barely find a place to park. This sounds more like putting people out of work to sqeeze the profits out of the company and move to entirely on-line sales. Simply making more money (i.e. greed) rather than going out of business.

As if MLB Series 30 wasn't cool enough, Grosnor Distribution Inc., McFarlane Toys exclusive Master Distributor in Canada, and the McFarlane Toys online store (Collectors Club) will be offering an exclusive Jose Bautista figure with the upcoming line.
In the 2010 season, Bautista set a Toronto Blue Jays single-season franchise record by hitting a major league leading 54 home runs, making him only the 26th member of the 50 home run club in baseball history.
In 2011, he once again led the major leagues with 43 home runs. He became the first player to earn two consecutive home run titles since Mark McGwire did so in the 1998 and 1999 seasons.
On July 3, 2011, Bautista set the all-time Major League record for the most All-Star votes received by a single player through fan balloting, with 7,454,753 votes. This number greatly surpassed the previous record of 6,069,688, set by Seattle's Ken Griffey, Jr. in 1994.
Bautista also has won 2 straight Silver Slugger (2010, 2011) awards for being one of the top hitting outfielders in the American League.
Bautista is featured in Toronto's 2012 new home alternate blue jersey. You can collect this Jose Bautista exclusive figure and the rest of MLB Series 30 this June 2012.

A Johnson City man accused of shooting a local TV weatherman with a crossbow last year in the home they once shared killed himself Wednesday at a city park, according to a police report.
Gerald Taylor, 54, 121 Lynn Road, was found dead inside a vehicle at the Winged Deer Park Disc Golf Course parking area around 11:10 a.m., according to the report. An unidentified man reported an unconscious person to a nearby business and someone there called 911.
When emergency officials arrived at the park, Taylor was pronounced dead. There is no indication in the report how Taylor took his life, but there was a rope and gun in the car with him.
Taylor pleaded guilty Feb. 8 to aggravated criminal trespassing and perjury but had not been sentenced. That hearing was scheduled March 4 but later reset for April 19.
He was arrested after a June 4, 2012, incident at the Ashworth Court home he had shared with his former life partner, Rob Batot. Batot is known professionally as Rob Williams, a meteorologist at WJHL Channel 11.
The attack on Williams occurred before 4 a.m. June 4, 2012. Police said Taylor broke into the house through a window and shot Williams with the crossbow, then allegedly shot at him with a 9 mm pistol as Williams tried to run from the house.
According to police, Williams had a crossbow bolt, which is the arrow used in the weapon, sticking from his chest when they arrived on scene.
Williams told police Taylor ran from the residence after firing the weapons. Officers found him sitting on a dock below the house with the pistol in his hand.
In a news release after the assault, police said there was a brief standoff with Taylor, and officers used a Taser to get him into custody.
Taylor was initially charged with attempted first-degree murder, aggravated burglary and violation of an order of protection. According to the order of protection Williams filed in May 2012, Taylor had previously vandalized Williams' car by slashing the tires and putting water in the gas tank. Williams also stated in that document that Taylor threatened to destroy his life and slander his name and threatened to kill Williams, then himself.
Prosecutors reduced the charges against Taylor after reviewing the case further and determining the facts didn't meet that criteria.
The perjury charge against Taylor was lodged after he filled out an affidavit of indigency to request a court-appointed attorney. A judge appointed the public defender's office to represent Taylor in Sessions Court.
After the case got to Criminal Court, Taylor was ordered to hire an attorney. Officials discovered Taylor failed to report a bank account at Fort Sill National Bank when he filed documents in Washington County General Sessions Court June 5 for an appointed attorney.
By that time, he had already posted a $121,000 bond through B&F Bonding. That means he paid the bonding company $12,100 plus tax to get out of jail. In criminal court, judges are less likely to appoint an attorney when a defendant is able to post bond.
Editor's note: The fact that Taylor's hearing was reset from March 4 to April 19 has been added to this story.

Olympic gold medalist Henry Cejudo has started his MMA career quickly, rattling off four first-round stoppage wins over a two-and-a-half month period earlier this year.
Now Cejudo (4-0), one of the world's most highly touted bantamweight prospects, will see how his game pans out at the next level. The 26-year-old Californian has signed a multi-fight deal with the Texas-based Legacy Fighting Championship.
Legacy officials recently announced the deal. Cejudo will make his debut at Legacy FC 24 on Oct. 11 at Allen Event Center in Allen, Texas, against Ryan Hollis (4-1). Cejudo-Hollis will be part of the main card that airs on AXS TV (10 p.m. ET).
"It was very important to me to join a professional organization that will allow me the opportunity to continue to grow as an MMA athlete," Cejudo stated. "It was equally important for me to partner with an organization that has an established track record of helping fighters grow into world-class athletes and champions. I want to fight for a credible organization and face high-caliber opponents. Legacy is that organization and has made that commitment to me."
Cejudo won gold for Team USA at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. At just 21, he became the youngest wrestler in American history to take top honors at the Games. In high school, Cejudo was a four-time state champion, winning a pair of titles in Colorado, then two in Arizona. In 2006, he was named high school "Wrestler of the Year.
In 2006, as a high schooler, he won the U.S. Nationals, and then accepted the USA Wrestling offer to skip college to train in Colorado Springs. It paid off quickly with another U.S. Nationals title, a Pan American Games gold, and then in 2008, the Olympic gold.
In 2012, though, Cejudo failed to make the Olympic team. In a dramatic moment, he removed his wrestling shoes, the traditional signal of a wrestler's retirement, and tossed them to the crowd rather than leaving them in the center of the mat.

The Rinker School of Business is accredited by the International Assembly of Collegiate Business Education (IACBE).
Speaking of PBA...
|Rebekah Bouch, who received the Outstanding Graduate medal from the Rinker School of Business, speaks during December 2012 commencement.
What I love about PBA is having received solid business schooling that implemented Christian principles and moral values. I was taught how to become a successful businesswoman while still operating in an ethical way. The professors really take a personal interest in students both in and outside of the classroom. They are always available for help and encouragement. I grew so much during my time at PBA, and felt confident to enter the real world upon graduation. The preparation I received helped me to land my ideal job within a month of graduating.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. --- Three University of Tennessee at Chattanooga women's basketball players combined for 36 points and held off a second half Samford charge to get a 66-60 win over the Bulldogs Wednesday night at the Pete Hanna Center.
The Lady Mocs improve to 15-3 on the year and take over sole possession of first place in the Southern Conference at 8-1 as Elon (7-1) did not play tonight. Samford evens out its record at 9-9 overall and 6-3 in league play.
Junior Ashlen Dewart had a team-high 14 points for the Lady Mocs with senior Kayla Christopher (Oliver Springs, Tenn.) and junior Taylor Hall (New Tazewell, Tenn.) each tossing in 12 points. Dewart was 5-of-14 on the night making eight of Chattanooga's final 11 points and was 4-for-4 from the free throw line in that stretch.
Hall was 5-for-10 from the floor and 2-of-3 from beyond the arc with two rebounds. Christopher moved into 18th place at UTC with 1,183 career points. She had six rebounds, five assists and three steals and has scored in double figures in four straight games.
The Lady Mocs got control of the ball to start the game and Hall took advantage sinking the first of her two 3-pointers. She and junior Meghan Downes (Newnan, Ga.) each drained the next two to make it 9-0 and Chattanooga was off to a 15-0 start.
Jazmine Martin, who had 22 second half points, led the Bulldogs on a 7-2 run over the next 4:23 and Samford would get as close as 22-14 at the 4:47 mark of the half on a 3-pointer from Hannah Dawson. After the Lady Mocs got up 30-16 with six straight points, the Bulldogs closed out the first half with a 3-pointer from Dawson in the corner to make it a 30-19 advantage for UTC at intermission.
Samford came out strong to start the second half and went on a 13-4 run over the first 3:23 to cut Chattanooga's lead down to 34-32 with 16:37 to play. The two teams traded points over the next four minutes and the Bulldogs remained just two points behind at 38-36 with 12:11 to play.
After a pair of Samford free throws, UTC's Ka'Vonne Towns (Lilburn, Ga.) drained a 3-pointer sparking an 11-2 Chattanooga run capped off by a layup from junior Faith Dupree (Knoxville, Tenn.) to put the Lady Mocs up 49-38 with 9:36 to play. However, Chattanooga would only see a double-digit lead once more in the half and Samford would get as close as two points three times more.
Over the final three minutes, Chattanooga would score eight points and allow just four to the Bulldogs for the 66-60 margin.
Martin scored a game-high 31 points for Samford and Hannah Dawson recorded a double-double with 11 points and a game-high 12 rebounds along with four assists and two steals.
Chattanooga freshman Tatianna Jackson (Atlanta, Ga.) playing a career-best 26 minutes, just missed a double-double of her own with nine points and led UTC with a career-high nine boards while dishing out two assists and grabbing three steals.
Downes, making her second career start, had seven points and two rebounds in 17 minutes. She started in place of senior Kylie Lambert (Etowah, Tenn.) who was unable to play.
Chattanooga led wire-to-wire and outrebounded Samford 32-28, allowing the Bulldogs just two offensive boards to UTC's 12. That led to a 9-3 advantage in second chance points. The Lady Mocs had eight fast break points to none for Samford and the bench outscored SU 17-9. In the paint, Chattanooga outdid Samford 34-20 and scored 17 points off 23 Bulldog turnovers.
The Lady Mocs will return home for a brief spell to take on Appalachian State Saturday at 6 p.m. at the McKenzie Arena. Tickets are available at the McKenzie Arena box office (423-266-6627) or online at GoMocs.com. The Mountaineers, defending Southern Conference champions, are 12-3 overall and 6-1 in league play.

As for those that think St-Pierre's wrestling will take Hendricks' striking out of the equation, Hendricks seemed less than concerned about that happening:
That's what I want I want to do. I want to run into those takedowns. Just wait, I got stuff for that takedown. I'm a wrestler too, that's what people forget. I know how to defeat a wrestler. I know how to stay away from takedowns.

The Dolphin Hotel (along with the neighboring Swan Hotel) is one of just three on-property resorts not operated by the Walt Disney Company. The Dolphin is a Starwood-operated hotel (under its Sheraton label) and while the service is of Disney-quality, the benefits (such as charging to your room with your room key) stop at the door. Compensating for this is the prime location of the hotel as part of the Epcot resort area and the availability of discounts and reward programs not found at Disney-run resorts.

The Milford CT branch of Uncle Bob's Storage is OFF THE CHARTS wonderful. The quality of the facility is beyond any storage company I've ever dealt with. It's like a fine hotel for my stuff. It's better than some apartments I've lived in! (lol.) It seems very secure and extremely clean. The staff were very nice and signing up took less time than I expected. The only not-perfect thing I noticed was that the hours of access are more limited than other places I've rented from, but overall the benefits far far outweigh this.Shelly from New Haven, CT

text: Hello all, I have had a RRA lower in my gun safe scince October of 2007 which is about the time I went to Knob Creek for the fall shoot and discovered my new favorite hobbie of building AK-47's. I kinda put the AR on the back burner due to the availability of Ak kits and built a couple of Ak's and also helped a couple of friends with thier Ak builds over the winter. I think I have had a hand in at least 10 ak's being brought back from the dead scince October. We are just doing our part. Anyway with the Economy in a state of ruin and utter decline George W. said give the people some cash and let them put it back into the economy. I felt it was my patriotic duty to finish my first AR so here it is 5.56 nato, 1:7 twist, chrome lined barrel, midlength gas system, six position colapsible stock, m-16 bolt and carrier, RRA dominator 2 sight mount and bushnell holosight model 51-0021. The upper is based on the RRA Elite CAR A4 upper half . Will have a range report at a later date . Well here she is. Thanks George W.
