Does this video prove Nate Myles is a grub? Watch and decide for yourself
- From: news.com.au
- June 07, 2013
A YOUTUBE user has posted a video which shows that Nate Myles is a fragile, angelic and misunderstood petal who was the undeserving victim of an unprovoked attack by Paul Gallen.
In fact, the video shows that if Gallen is a thug, Myles is his soul mate.
Either that or he's a hideously clumsy man with such flimsy control over his bodily functions, it's a miracle he has carved out a career in professional sport.
Could be one or the other. Not for us to say.
Apologists for Myles say he leads into tackles with his head, which is a bit like saying a pit bull leads with its teeth.
All we'll say is, for a man with an oversized noggin, Myles sure has a lack of brains.
If Myles had an ounce of smarts, he'd be a bit more subtle with his deliberate headbutts like the one at about 2:35 in this video.
Have your say

Gallen's a thug. And wouldn't be so tough if he was a smaller person, and the victim. In fact, I bet he was also the school bully because he could be.

written by Todd Balym The Courier-Mail FOR whatever indiscretion Paul Gallen claims to have been committed by Nate Myles, the Blues skipper has done worse. Much, much worse. Like Gallen's accusation that Myles headbutts. We checked the NRL judiciary record and not a single offence is registered against Myles, yet in round 18 in 2007 Gallen copped a one-game ban for headbutting Shane Shackleton of the Sydney Roosters. Gallen is Pinocchio. It's one of 17 judiciary charges Gallen has attracted since his debut in 2002, for suspensions totalling 19 weeks. It doesn't take much research to find out a bit more about the man being hailed a hero in Sydney for standing up to Queensland's so-called Origin bullies. Playing punching bag with Myles' head is not the first time Gallen has instigated fights on the football field. He has striking charges from 2002 and 2009, plus a contrary conduct charge in 2004 when the judiciary found he "instigated and tried to go on with a fight with John Skandalis''. Let's review some of Gal's worst moments in football. Dymock behind Gallen's flying fists Like the day he was accused of diving against the Dragons, got a penalty and winked at teammates.

Or Origin III 2007 when he hit Tonie Carroll high and decided to immediately start the biff. He later told reporters the plan was to go the knuckle "if anyone touches any us'', must have also applied if he tried to decapitate someone too. But the dirtiest day of all came in round 3, 2008 at Skilled Park when he deliberately pulled at the stitches of Anthony Laffranchi and was accused by Josh Graham of "squeezing his wheels''. It was such a shameful day that one Sydney scribe suggested Gallen be jailed for assault. It wasn't the only testicle twisting of Gallen's year, Maroons enforcer Mick Crocker alleging it happened to him twice in the 2008 Origin decider. In 2009 Gallen was fined by the NRL for racially abusing Dragon Mickey Paea and stepped down from the club captaincy. He ended the year reprimanded by his club for public urination, relieving himself near a drunken friend's head. So while Gallen might be trying to spin the story his way and blame Myles for twisting his leg, we know the truth is Gallen is really just twisting your arm.

I see a lot worse from the NSW players that doesn't get mentioned - these NSW supporters need to grow up and stop making excuses. Gallen is a thug, Myles isn't.

Oh.... he's leading with his head. wah wah wah. Gallen is the biggest girl of them all. Including the author of this dribble. The fact is they are playing rugby, to complain that Miles is leading with his head is just xrazy - it is a tackle by nature something that you do head first. I hope Miles smashes Gallen's teeth out and then uses the excuse of the offensive fishy odour coming from between Gallen's legs.

Nice sarcastic attempt at trying to justify a dog act. If you grilled most players you would find some technique they ploy that would be deemed suspect. Facts are that Gallon, a Captain lost a mind game and snapped, it shows his poor leadership skills to allow a twit to get under his skin, almost risking a sinbin while NSW were in a commanding lead. If you want to nit-pick players why not look at Bird, Iâm sure he has a heap of dirty ploys. As for twisting his knee, if the tackle is legal then there is no malice, every player will target a weakness, as Gallon is in the top of his game, why not target his soft spot, if his leg aint right, don't play!

Re: Gallan v Myles - Myles certainly deserved the smack to the head, considering every tackle he did on Gallan, he was trying to twist his bad leg. Anything else in the game, I'm not taking sides on as it was just grubby all round.

S. Jenks Posted at 1:29 PM June 07, 2013
That's not head butting, it's head positioning and taught by just about every coach in history. If you want to see headbutting look at Jarryd Hayne's off field rap sheet. He (Myles) had ample opportunity to use the point of his knee and the point of his brow and did neither. They're controlling techniques to better exert control over your opponents center of gravity and it's been taught for centuries in wrestling and grappling, elements of which have been in Rugby and Rugby league for decades. Gallen decided to try and rattle the best forward on the park. It's origin, get over it.

RamRod Posted at 1:31 PM June 07, 2013
We all know the game is rough, we expect some contact in a heavy contact game. I draw the line at a player purposly attacking an injured limb. What if Myles had of torn part of the knee on purpuse with his twisting? Is it fair to purposly take away a players way of making a living over a game? I'm not on either side here, but we should throw the book at any player who think that gaining the advantage by puposfully injuring an opposition player during a grapple on the ground is ok. We banned the grappling and twisting of arms in tackles, why are legs ok?

Didn't see a single thing in that video to put Myles in the same category as Gallen. In fact I thought it was rather pro Myles as a football professional. Never saw him cry either. Kinda wondering where this came from. Gallen is supposed to be a leader, but in fact he is a whinger, a sook, and worst of all a thug.

The support and acceptance of Gallen's punches in the game on Wed night, is a bigger threat to children watching the game, than any Tom Waterhouse ad could ever be. For Daley to say 'it's Origin' is nothing short of a disgrace.

Let's just say majority of league players and followers are thungs and grubs. Gallen throws a few punches at Nate's face. And for all the people trying to even justify these action is wrong wrong wrong. Not too long ago news.com.au was running a campaign 1 punch can kill and we must put a stop on it, now we have these videos and photos of Gallen's fist in Nate's face in a sportin event. What more can be said. Let the fist fly Australia! Go blues! Go Maroons! Go Australia!

Idiots. Every player leads with their head. That's how you tackle with your shoulder, leaning into a tackle. Myles is taller than most players, so that makes it look a little suspicious. No excuse for what Gallen did. He was the third player in a tackle and hit with a stiff arm. Then launches 2 punches, unprovoked.

Former_League Fan Posted at 1:40 PM June 07, 2013
Simply more evidence the ref's and he NRL have lost control of the game...... Defending blatantly illegal (and pre meditated) behaviour with evidence that the other person is simply as bad.... Time to sit back and clean up the game....... Big collisions, big tackles and courage is what makes the game great...... Not overlooking grubbing behaviour by the presumed elite of he sport.

How are you a journalist?!?! Who has given you the right to use a news site to post your own ridiculous and unfounded drivel. Here's something else I found on Youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZM62pQ37gGM which shows yet another side of the story and is far more convincing than this rubbish. Defending punching someone in the head is even lower than doing it. I'm embarrassed that the game I love so much is turning a blind eye to this wreckless behaviour from someone who is supposed to be a leader... So much for their 'anti-bullying' campaign... Absolute joke. Pull your head in mate and leave your bad reporting for your twitter feed.

Clint. What's wrong, got some sand in your va-jay-jay today princess? Must be hard to accept that Miles got the living snot beaten out of him by "the biggest girl of them all". What a dumb thing to say - even by Queensland standards. Hopefully he comes over to your house and craps in the hallway, just to let you know he appreciates your sentiments.

Zac of Perth, WA Posted at 1:45 PM June 07, 2013
The video clearly shows Myles leading with his head- exactly what Gallen was alleging. I agree, he should have handled it in a better fashion but look at the practicalities involved. Origin games have a notioriously low penalty count hence, very few breaks in play. To those that propose that Gallen should have voiced his concerns with Klein and Hayne instead of taking matters into his own hands, when do you propose that he have done this? There needs to be a break in play to enable the captain to speak to one/both of the refs. The fact that Myles has never been cited/suspended for his behaviour is a moot point. Gallen went to the judiciary and used Myles' "tackling style" as an aggrivating factor in explaining his actions. The judiciary, for at least some part, paid creedence to this and handed down a penalty that was, I think we can all agree, VERY lenient. Yes, Gallen should have been sent off Wednesday night. Yes, he should have got at least 4 weeks. Is Myles a grub? You better bloody believe it! Anyone that can watch that footage and argue differently with a straight face needs their head read.

No point in arguing who the bigger grub is. They both are, every team has them and every now and then it boils over. Get over it and get on with Origin two.

Unbiased supporter of Wollongong Posted at 1:47 PM June 07, 2013
So is it suposed to be a coincidence that Myles has the biggest most solid head in the QLD team, or in fact rugby league,and his techniques involves swinging it towards the opponents head? Um.. I'd say he is using it to his advantage and obviously puts himself out there to acheive injury. And I think his guilt is obvious in his reaction. Gallon may be a meat head for dealing with it how he did, but the biggest hallway-shitting grub in this scenario is Myles, hands down! Leading with your head should be seen as worse, or at least the same as leading with the knee. He just knows his fat head will never come off second best!

Fair Go Posted at 1:48 PM June 07, 2013
Anthony, you like Paul Gallen and many others appear to have missed the entire point to the uproar regarding the incident on Wednesday night. This not a debate based around who is the bigger grub. Regardless of what Nate Myles had done during the game or in years past, the Captain of the NSW side unloaded punches on a man who did not have his hands up or even remotely looked like he was about to engage in a fight. This is not a fight it is a bashing. This not how perceived wrongs should be dealt with regardless of the setting. This scene is being played out all over the country at parties,bars and nightclubs and any attemp to justify or support these actions are irresponsible and not something a credible journalist should be putting their name to. To claim 'That is Origin' is no longer acceptable, as a nation we can no longer afford to support these actions when young men a dying because other men like Gallen don't understand the potential serverity of their actions. You Anthony Sharwood have choice about how you approach your reporting to topics like this in the future, hopefully next time you make the right one.

Interesting as News.com ran a campaign to stop violence and yet a fight like this is considered a good thing. Seriously, I love sport, follow the league but it is time we all grew up and asked these highly paid sports stars to do so as well. I wonder what the editor of this site thinks about violence on or off the field.

Ala Moana Center construction creating more trafficUPDATED 7:22 PM HST Aug 23, 2013
Traffic in and around Ala Moana Center has been like a maze lately with several areas shut down because of construction. And once in the mall, finding a parking space has been a challenge because hundreds of stalls are disappearing, literally!Video Transcript
maze lately... with several areas shut down because of construction. And once in the mall, finding a parking space has been a challenge because hundreds of stalls are disappearing... literally! KITV4's Justin Fujioka has details on the demolition of the old Sears parking deck. Concrete is coming down at the Ewa end of Ala Moana Center... and this construction is just the beginning of a two-year project. Scott Creel: "EVERYTHING FROM WHERE SEARS MET THE MALL ALL THE WAY TO PIIKOI WILL BE TAKEN DOWN IN A WAY SO AS TO BE ABLE TO START TO CREATE THE NEW EXPANSION AREA GOING UP." The new "Ewa Wing" will add 650-thousand square feet of retail, dining and entertainment options... including Bloomingdale's. But because of this work... the street-level entrance from Piikoi is shut down. The Piikoi ramp remains open, but you're forced to turn left into the Mauka Ewa Parking Structure ... where many stalls are off limits because of another expansion. Scott Creel: "WE'LL BE ADDING FOUR-TO-FIVE LEVELS ON TOP OF THE EXISTING PARKING STRUCTURE THAT IS ON THE MAUKA EWA END OF THE PROPERTY AND IT WILL ADD ANOTHER THOUSAND SPACES." A thousand spaces that could be used now. Leon Bickford: "THE TRAFFIC ON THIS END IS JUST, IS HORRENDOUS. IT'S TERRIBLE AND PARKING IS... I DON'T EVEN PARK ON THIS OF THE MALL ANYMORE." Brian Smith: "THE CONSTRUCTION GOING ON MAKES IT TERRIBLE. YOU CAN'T GO UP THE RAMP AND GO AROUND TO THE NEIMAN MARCUS SIDE AT ALL. YOU HAVE TO DRIVE ALL THE WAY ALA MOANA AND GO UP THE RAMP THE OTHER SIDE." A situation that will only get worse with the holiday season approaching. Scott Creel: "OUR PLAN, IS WE'RE GOING TO SLOW DOWN WHEREVER IT'S LOGICAL AND POSSIBLE IN ORDER TO OPEN UP SOME AVAILABLE PARKING TO ACCOMMODATE THE CUSTOMER." Justin Fujioka: "AND IT WILL BE THE FIRST OF TWO HOLIDAY SEASONS BECAUSE THIS MULTIMILLION-DOLLAR EXPANSION PROJECT IS NOT EXPECTED TO BE COMPLETE UNTIL LATE 2015. AT ALA MOANA CENTER, JUSTIN FUJIOKA, KITV4 NEWS." A separate project to redevelop the mall's Center Court area will be complete in November. A third project, the ONE Ala Moana condominium atop Nordstrom... should be done late next year. Let's check back in with

NORMAN — We came to Lloyd Noble Center on Saturday to lionize the Sooners' return to relevant, if not big-time, college basketball.
Good team, energized crowd, high hopes. Been awhile since OU could claim those traits.
Then a few moments after tipoff, OSU completed its stunner at Phog Allen Fieldhouse, and we upgraded the celebration to include the whole danged state. Some of us remember when campus hoops were a big deal.
The Sooners haven't been to the NCAA Tournament since 2009, OSU not since 2010. But with OU's rocking victory at Baylor earlier in the week, then the Cowboys taking down the Jayhawks, happy days seemed here again.
Then another drought appeared. Against rawboned Kansas State, the Sooners went almost 11 minutes without scoring. Fourteen straight possessions, spanning the last 6½ minutes of the first half and the first 4½ minutes of the second half.
OU kept playing tough, if not well, and rallied to tie in the final minute before losing 52-50. And the Sooners reminded us that though the drought might be over, the climb back is not.
"We're still a work in progress," said OU's Romero Osby.
True enough. The Sooners can outfox the likes of talented Baylor, but K-State hasn't lost its toughness just because psychotic coach Frank Martin has moved on.
The Wildcats bullied the Sooners. Fought over screens. Bumped the Sooners from their preferred spots. Got in OU faces and wouldn't get out.
"Tough game from start to finish," said OU coach Lonnie Kruger, as he was known in a previous life as one of K-State's greatest players.
"Really difficult time on the offensive end. Dictated most of the night with their defense. Had trouble getting separation."
Here are the sordid numbers. No Sooner had more assists than turnovers, and OU had only eight assists total. OU's starters shot 10-of-34 from the field, including 0-of-9 on 3-pointers.
And the Sooners' three freshman guards — Buddy Hield, Je'lon Hornbeak and Isaiah Cousins — combined to play 70 minutes, with six assists, seven turnovers and 10 points, on 3-of-11 shooting.

Street Vendors Pivot From Cash to Plastic
New York, NY —
Joe Mangrum makes paintings on pavement with sand. A couple times a week, Mangrum goes to a public space like Union Square or Columbus Circle, gets down on his knees, and dribbles colored sand between his fingers. A crowd often gathers as Mangrum spreads an intricate pattern of swirls, zig zags, and dots across the pavement. It looks a little bit like a rose window in a church or a Tibetan mandala.
"Let it flow. Let yourself go. Slow and low, that is the tempo," Mangrum says, citing Run DMC and The Beastie Boys to describe his working philosophy.
But Mangrum is a full time artist, and all his income comes from commissions, donations and sales of his art books.
Lately he's been offering patrons a new way to pay him: by credit card, through a program called Square, which he runs on his iphone.
To demonstrate, Mangrum produces a small black card reader, about the size of a matchbook. The customer simply swipes their card through a groove, the data is saved, the customer signs his or her name on the iphone touchscreen, gives Mangrum their email address and the payment is complete.
As a convenience for the customer, the receipt even includes a map of where the payment took place and a photo of Mangrum.
After several months using Square, Mangrum says he hasn't had any complaints from customers, and the program has enabled people without a lot of cash in their pockets to buy his $56 book.
For centuries, artists and craftsmen have sold their wares on city streets, and those transactions have almost always been cash-based. Now new technologies offer even the smallest vendors the ability to accept credit card payment, and for some it's an attractive option.
"A lot of people in this country have moved to paying with plastic. They're just not carrying as much cash around," says Square co-creator Jack Dorsey, who also co-founded Twitter.
Last year, Dorsey spent months negotiating with credit card companies, learning their complicated fee structures so that Square could offer users a simple deal. Every time Joe Mangrum takes a payment through Square, Dorsey's company charges him 15 cents and takes 2.75 perfect of the sale. Square then handles all payments to the credit card company.
There are now about a dozen card swipe systems for personal handheld devices, with names like Swipe It and GoPayment.
"Between broadband mobile and smart phones we're seeing all kinds of new applications," says George Peabody, director of emerging technologies at Mercator Advisory Group, a payment industry research company.
Many use card readers, others rely on users inputting their card numbers manually. It's too early to tell which program will emerge as the market leader.
Peabody predicts close to four million Americans will start accepting credit card payments through their phones over the next four years. Especially handymen, farmers selling produce at farmers' markets, Chrismas tree sellers, artists like Joe Mangrum--vendors who tend to take payment in cash.
"It is a fact that taking cards improves your ability to sell, particularly these days," Peabody says.
One possible side effect of this emerging technology: it will be easier to track transactions. And that could mean more sales tax revenues for state and local government, as the cash economy turns to plastic.

PHOENIX — Michael Phelps made an ominous start in his comeback to competitive swimming on Thursday, setting the fastest time in the 100 metres butterfly heats at a USA Swimming Grand Prix meet in suburban Phoenix.
Racing for the first time since he retired in a blaze of glory after the 2012 London Olympics with a staggering career total of 18 gold medals, a relaxed Phelps cruised to victory in 52.84 seconds.
His time was well outside the world record of 49.82 seconds he set at the 2009 world championships but still safely under the qualifying time for this year's U.S. national championships, which double as the selection event for next year's world titles in Russia.
Phelps will swim again later on Thursday in the 100m butterfly finals and was also entered for Friday's 50m freestyle heats.
Although the 28-year-old American still holds the world record in three individual events, none of his past times count for future events because they were all recorded before the qualifying period began in June 2013.
Phelps and his coach Bob Bowman were both reluctant to talk about their long term goals when they appeared at a packed news conference on the eve of his comeback but they did not rule out the possibility of competing at the 2016 Rio Olympics.
Unshaven and still seven pounds (three kilograms) over his ideal racing weight, Phelps had planned to swim in three events at his comeback meet but ditched the 100m freestyle to focus on the 100m butterfly and Friday's 50m freestyle.
Tickets for the event sold out within hours after Phelps confirmed he was making his comeback and were selling for more than five times their face value on the secondary market.
More than 100 media - a 500 per cent increase on last year's meet - descended on the Skyline Aquatic Center to see him take his first plunge back into the water.
Even before his race, the crowd at the warm-up was five deep with people trying to snap a picture of him practicing with his kickboard.
When he climbed on to the blocks, the crowd roared and he made a clean getaway.
Phelps reached the turn in second place then pulled away from his rivals on the second lap, rolling his powerful shoulders over and over to reach the wall first and book his place in Thursday night's final.

GUILDERLAND — The Guilderland Police Department held emergency response drills, including classroom instruction and active shooter exercises, at the Guilderland High School on April 17 and 21.
"It was a real, live, tactical operating type of drill," said Captain Curtis Cox.
A 17-year-old was taken by ambulance to Albany Medical Center after being extricated from her car on Oct. 10; police say the car was T-boned by a school bus after the 17-year-old failed to yield the right-of-way.
Howard Brent did not agree with the Guilderland Police Department's approach to enforcing the proper use of the turning lane, calling the stationing of four police cars at the intersection "Gestapo-like" and saying the department must have issued "hundreds of tickets."

Plug-ins like Silverlight and Google Earth will be harder to find in the Chrome Web Store as Google works to build a safer, faster Web browser.
Google's Portable Native Client technology gives a new Web-based lease on life for an old operating system and the games it could run.
The debut of the Web-based game Monster Madness heralds the rise of HTML5 and the descent of browser plugins.
Google finally raises the curtain on the programming platform it hopes will get complex code -- such as the kind that powers gaming engines -- onto the Web. But PNaCl with a glitch -- controversy.
A powerful new Google+ photo app embodies a sticky situation facing Web developers: embrace the Native Client tech for high-performance Web apps and risk sites that only work for Chrome users.
Now we know what Google's Nik Software acquisition was really about: bringing respectable photo editing to cloud computing. But it's only for the Chrome browser.
Programmer Robert O'Callahan says Google's Native Client technology contradicts laudable Web standards principles the Net giant laid out for Blink, its new browser engine project.
A Chrome programmer seeks support for a new Mozilla technology to bridge the C and JavaScript languages -- even though Google has competing ideas.
One corner of the computing world can't use the streaming-video service: the $249 Samsung Chromebook. Netflix and Google are working to change that, though.
The software for fast browser apps has taken a step beyond mainstream x86-based PCs to Chromebooks using ARM processors. But it won't reach ARM-based smartphones until later this year.

Talisay City College head won't leave-A A +A
Wednesday, February 5, 2014
TALISAY City College president Richel Bacaltos refuses to leave his post despite an executive order appointing Mandaue City College (MCC) dean Paulus Mariae Cañete as his replacement.
Bacaltos told reporters yesterday he is willing to relinquish his post to Cañete but only if Mayor Johnny de los Reyes can convince the college's board of trustees to remove him as president.
In response to Bacaltos' plea, de los Reyes said he plans to convene the board of trustees to discuss the matter. He is even willing to give Bacaltos a month to prepare for the transition.
But Vice Mayor Romeo Villarante, the mayor's ally, said de los Reyes' appointment of Cañete defies a city ordinance that mandates the creation of a search committee to pick the next college president.
He said it contradicts City Ordinance 2008-11.
"As chairman of the board of trustees, the mayor must convene the board and create a duly constituted search committee that will choose the next college president," he said.
Sufficient documentation
The ordinance amends a 2004 ordinance that creates the TCC and its board of trustees.
Villarante said Canete's appointment as acting TCC president was also illegal, since, based on the ordinance, the college can only hire a president that can render full-time service.
During a meeting with de los Reyes and Cañete yesterday, Bacaltos said he will not leave his post until the board orders him to do so.
Before the meeting, Bacaltos told reporters he is willing to be replaced as long as Cañete's appointment is supported with sufficient documentation.
He said that while the board gave the mayor the power to choose the next TCC president, the decision to replace him will still depend on the board.
He asked the mayor to put everything in order by allowing the board to formally replace him with Cañete.
Illegal defiance
Bacaltos is confident that Cañete, who is a fellow academic, is willing to listen to his plea.
After the meeting, de los Reyes told reporters he plans to convene the board again to decide on Bacaltos' fate.
The mayor said that during a meeting with the board last year, its members granted him the power to appoint Bacaltos' replacement.
Based on the decision of the board, de los Reyes issued an executive order last Monday that appointed Cañete.
City Attorney Alfredo Sipalay, for his part, said Bacaltos' defiance of the executive order is illegal.
"The mayor has the authority, not because he is the mayor but because he is the chairman of the board of trustees," he said.
Cañete was known as a critic of the administration of Mandaue City Mayor Jonas Cortes after the MCC, which was originally under the City Government, was replaced with a school bearing the same name that the City organized.

Blarney's Blog
Welcome to Blarney's Blog
Who is Blarney, you might ask?
I am Blarney Killarney from the grand clan of Killarney Leprechauns.
A wee bit of Irish magic an' grand ol' fashioned Irish luck landed me in the Liverpool Public Library. Why might a leprechaun end up so far from Ireland? 'Tis a true tale that I tell. I was out for a stroll among the heather, when I happened along a couple of tourists. Now I have a little hobby of climbing into the backpacks of tourists because you never know what kind of interesting reading materials they might have, and I love to read. 'Twas so nice and warm inside the backpack that I found meself drifting off to sleep. Now, leprechauns do not sleep often, but when they gets their mind set to sleeping they can sleep for days. One minute I was reading snug in the tourist's backpack, and next thing I know I'm tucked away inside the pages of a book on a sale shelf inside a library lobby. To awake surrounded by books! What glorious fortune! 'Twas no small bit o' magic there. I no longer have to sneak into the backpacks of tourists. I have many lifetimes of reading materials here. I looked around for the best place to build my home, and noticed several nice young lassies above me, new friends, books from floor to ceiling-- what better place to call home?!
I'm a wee bit shy, so you will never see me, but you can write to me or visit my house located in the Children's Room of the Library.
Write to me:
Please place all letters in the mailbox located above my door
in the Children's Room at Liverpool Public Library.

Cradle to Cradle Innovation Celebration Honors Aveda with First Legacy Leaders Award
Aveda The Art and Science of Pure Flower and Plant Essences and maker of botanically-based professional hair, skin and body care, makeup and lifestyle products was recently honored by the Cradle to Cradle Products Innovation Institute for its role in environmental leadership in the beauty industry.
At the inaugural Cradle to Cradle Innovation Celebration, held on November 15th in New York City, Global Brand President of Aveda, Dominique Conseil accepted the Legacy Leaders Award in recognition of Aveda being a founding company who has a strong impact in its industry. Upon receiving the award, Conseil stated that "Aveda's role since the brand's inception in 1978 has been a major contributor to the well-being of our environment and society. Aveda was the first private company to sign the Valdez Principles after the huge oil spill to call for greater corporate responsibility in 1989, and later became the first beauty company manufacturing with 100% certified wind power. Today, Aveda is still as committed to leading by example in terms of socio-environmental responsibility, not just in the world of beauty, but around the world."
Bridgett Luther, President of the Cradle to Cradle Products Innovation Institute called Aveda an exemplary "leader in the next phase of environmental and health innovation."
The Cradle to Cradle Products Innovation Institute, co-founded in 2010 by William McDonough and Michael Braungart, with support from Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Wendy Schmidt and Brad Pitt, is an international non-profit organization created to administer its product standard in hopes of improving general production of consumer products to have a positive impact on society, the economy, and the planet.

Iredale Mineral Cosmetics Announces Innovative New Makeover App
Iredale Mineral Cosmetics, Ltd. recently announced the launch of its new, innovative iPad app, "jane iredale Virtual Makeover." The app, available for free on iTunes, allows both professionals and to create realistic makeup applications with unprecedented functionality, all while using the comprehensive line of mineral makeup from jane iredale, THE SKIN CARE MAKEUP®. "jane iredale Virtual Makeover" is one of the first apps with the capability to smudge makeup, adjust brush size and blend and layer different products and shades, allowing users to achieve realistic, customized makeup looks.
Designed in partnership with Modiface and available exclusively for iPad tablets, the app is an extension of jane iredale's successful Virtual Makeover Room for desktop computers. In the app, users are first prompted to choose a photo, which they can take using the iPad camera or upload from Facebook, their iPad photo album or provided model images. Users can then tap a facial feature on the photo to bring up a color wheel showing all available makeup shades and categories for that feature.
Users apply color with their fingers as a "brush," and can increase or decrease brush size as they create different looks. Commands to undo, redo, clear, start over with a new photo, adjust facial recognition and compare before and after photos are available throughout the process.
A new "makeup tools" bar is the feature that allows users to blend makeup with a Flocked Sponge, smudge and smoke out detailed areas with a Smudge Brush and even remove little makeup mishaps with the jane iredale Magic Mitt™. These innovative features are unique to the tactile nature of the iPad.
Selecting "finalize" shows users their before and after images side by side, as well as a list of products used and the option to purchase individual products or the complete look from the online shop, or in nearby stores. Users' looks and product recommendations can be saved, emailed or shared via Twitter and Facebook directly from the app.
The app delivers unique benefits to both beauty professionals and consumers:
·Estheticians and makeup artists can cater to clients seeking new looks for headshots, profile pictures, weddings or other occasions by trying on several different looks without physically applying and scrubbing off multiple makeup applications. Options can be narrowed down and then physically applied, saving time and increasing client satisfaction.
·Users can try on multiple shades of long-wearing products, such as jane iredale Lip Fixation, a lip stain that could not be as easily removed in reality.
·Consumers can easily play with new makeup looks at home, which they can then bring in to a makeup professional in order to recreate the look.
·Online shoppers can benefit from a try-on experience and select their ideal shades of makeup without visiting a brick-and-mortar location.
The jane iredale Virtual Makeover app is available for free via iTunes. For more information or to experience the desktop version, visit www.janeiredale.com.
Photo of the Week: Subterranean Spa at The Joule Hotel
The Joule Hotel in Dallas recently announced the opening of an 8,000 square-foot, subterranean oasis. The luxury ESPA spa features four multifunctional treatment rooms, including a 320 square-foot unisex vitality pool where spa-goers can dive into relaxation and float away. Now that's what we call refreshing!
CND Receives Patent for Revolutionary Shellac System
CND (Creative Nail Design), a global leader in professional nail, hand and foot beauty, has been awarded a total of six patents for its revolutionary CND Shellac™ system. Over time, CND has remained consistently science-based, maintaining chemistry as a core competency. Now, three years after the official launch of CND Shellac, the unique, groundbreaking technology behind the system has been formally recognized by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
According to Vice President of Research & Development for CND, Dr. Dave Valia, "These patents for CND Shellac are a validation of our innovation. They solidify our technical leadership and protect our investment in creating a new category in nail coatings performance and care."
CND takes great pride in the performance of its products, as well as their strong sense of integrity and innovation. When other companies began outsourcing their research capabilities, CND invested in a multi-million dollar, on-site Research & Development facility. The company's Research & Development resources have since continually proven their worth, delivering new levels of effectiveness backed by tangible proof, with groundbreaking brands such as Retention+™ Liquid & Powder, Brisa™ Gel, SolarOil™, and VINYLUX™.
In 2010, after nearly five years of development in its state-of-the-art laboratory, CND revolutionized the nail industry with the introduction of CND Shellac, The Original Power Polish™. The three-part system consists of the CND Shellac Base Coat, Color Coat and Top Coat. Each product is cured in the CND UV Lamp for zero dry time, and lasts for up to 14 days, chip-free, while maintaing a high-gloss shine. Each of its unique components – Base Coat, Color Coat, Top Coat and UV Lamp – now holds at least one patent of its own.
In order to ensure that consumers consistently receive Superior CND Shellac Services, CND recently launched the CND Shellac Pro Certification program. Through this initiative, the company offers Nail Professionals an opportunity to learn more about the CND Shellac system, expert application techniques and the ability to become certified as an expert on CND Shellac services.

Phytomer Honored with ISPA Innovate Award for Filtration Garden
Phytomer was honored with the ISPA Innovate Award by the International SPA Association (ISPA) at the 2013 ISPA Conference and Expo in Las Vegas. This award is given to spa industry leaders with innovative and successful spa-related initiatives. More than 400 votes were cast by the ISPA membership to determine the top ISPA Innovate winners. Lenette Casper, President of Phytomer Corporation in the United States accepted the award, given to the company for their filtration garden designed to responsibly treat waste water used in the manufacturing process. Phytomer is the first and only spa brand to utilize a filtration garden, leading the way in sustainable, eco-friendly practices.
Developed in 2007 at Phytomer Laboratories in Saint Malo, France, the filtration garden uses three tiers of indigenous plants which contain enzymes and bacteria that naturally filter and remove pollution from the water. Water waste is collected in tanks that are drained weekly into the filtration garden. The first level of the garden contains plants with large root systems able to capture and filter larger waste molecules. The second tier contains a variety of plants, some that capture the micro waste particles and others that transform pollutants into fertilizers. By the third week, water flows to the third tier which is planted with willow trees and other plants that consume large quantities of water. By this time, water is 100% purified and fully reclaimed.
This voluntary investment is a 100% natural process that produces 100% pure water, without the use of chemicals, preserving the ecosystem of the Brittany region. "The use of a filtration garden exemplifies Phytomer's belief to never reinvent what nature has already perfected," says Casper. "We are honored to receive this award as we continue advancements in our sustainability practices" Casper notes. In addition to Phytomer's filtration garden, the company has also advanced its sustainability efforts with a high-sea macro-algae farming program, an in laboratory micro-algae cultivation program and has become a pioneer in marine biotechnology, a major breakthrough in skin care, which is one of the most sustainable methods of creating powerful, natural, results-oriented active ingredients.

Law enforcement officers found Colville teenager Ashley Barbour Monday, Aug. 12 in Coeur d'Alene. The 14-year-old was last seen in Colville at her family's residence on July 26.
Coeur d'Alene Police found Barbour when they stopped a vehicle near 23rd and Lakeside Avenue around 3:37 p.m.
A license plate recognition system flagged the vehicle because the license plate was in the National Crime Information Computer. The system captured the license plate number while the driver was heading eastbound on Interstate 90 through Post Falls. Police arrested the driver, 24-year-old Douglas Hawkins of Addy.

DuckTales: Remastered releasing next month
11 July 2013
Capcom has announced DuckTales: Remastered will release in August for all major platforms.
To celebrate the announcement, or the "quack-tastic news" at they put it, Capcom has released the first-ever "Duckumentary," which is part of a series of videos releasing every week leading up to launch. The Duckumentaries go behind the scenes with WayForward – the developers of behind DuckTales: Remastered – and showcase the development process the team has undergone bringing back Scrooge McDuck and the game itself to a modern era of gaming.
In addition to the Duckumentaries, there will also be "Travel Tip" videos from LaunchPad McQuack. These videos will begin releasing next week and, like the Duckumentaries, will have a new video put out every week until the game launches.
DuckTales: Remastered will release in North America on Aug. 13 for the Wii U eShop, PlayStation Network and PC for $14.99. The Xbox Live version will launch one month later on Sept. 11. There will also be a boxed version of DuckTales: Remastered, which comes with a download code and a collectible DuckTales Disney pin for $19.99.

Multnomah Education Service District Position 1
Chris Cochran - Nonpartisan
ESDs are paid for through state education funds, contracts and grants, and property taxes. Lawmakers continue to scrutinize the districts, approving a measure this year allowing school districts to withdraw from their local ESDs if they find them unnecessary.
In the race for this east-county position, voters have two terrible choices: Chris Cochran, a 23-year-old Gresham native and photographer, who has never been to an MESD meeting and couldn't manage to file a Voters' Pamphlet statement on time.
Then there's scandal-stained incumbent Bernie Giusto. His troubled history is familiar to longtime readers of this newspaper: As an Oregon State Police trooper, Giusto failed to tell authorities about his knowledge of ex-Gov. Neil Goldschmidt's sexual relationship with an underage girl. Later, as Multnomah County sheriff, he earned the title of WW's 2007 Rogue of the Year for mismanagement and an ethics investigation that still haunts the sheriff's office.
Cochran's inability to name a single MESD function is almost laughable. But it's not as shameful as the fact that Giusto keeps getting elected to anything.

The purpose of this Immigration Blog is to help keep freedom-minded citizens up-to-date on federal and state legislation regarding immigration. We favor stopping illegal immigration and oppose amnesty in any form. We also oppose temporary worker programs because, given the almost complete lack of federal enforcement of our current immigration laws, these programs would only serve to dramatically increase the number of temporarily legal immigrants with little prospect that these immigrants would honor the terms of their temporary worker permits, thus circumventing existing congressionally-authorized limits for legal immigration. We also advocate congressional action to end automatic birthright citizenship for children born to illegal immigrants in the U.S.
If you consider the extensive evidence that the Bush administration is working toward merging Mexico, Canada, and the United States into a North American Union (NAU) by building on the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and through its creation of the Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP) of North America in 2005, then the almost total lack of federal enforcement of our existing immigration laws begins to make sense. That is, if our government is working toward a North American Union with open borders between the present-day nations of Mexico, Canada, and the U.S., then there is little motivation on the part of the government to enforce immigration laws that would be scrapped anyway in a few years. Moreover, non-governmental organizations, such as the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), that are involved in the NAU merger process openly call for full mobility of labor throughout North America.
While we strongly advocate stopping illegal immigration, we also strongly caution against police-state type solutions, such as building fences and establishing national ID cards. Rather, we encourage reducing illegal immigration through minimizing the economic incentives for illegal immigration and better enforcement of our current immigration laws.
We invite readers of this blog to help keep us up-to-date on federal and state immigration news and legislation by posting comments with links.

Best and Worst TV of 2009: Allison's list
What a year! Once we got over the WGA strike, the networks kicked it into high gear and got busy making TV. Except for NBC. Even Jeff Zucker has admitted that NBCU has failed to respond to the need for new programming.
Fortunately, the other channels have been busy and there's been a lot of great television... and some that's just plain awful. But I'm a half-glass full kind of person and I have good feelings about 2009. However, since I don't want to repeat my list from last year, I'll just mention that I could put these 2008 best choices -- Breaking Bad, Friday Night Lights, NCIS, The Big Bang Theory and Mad Men -- on my list again. But I'm going to go for an all new list and, thankfully, I had plenty of 'bests' to choose from.
1. Glee. If there was ever a show that was made just for my personal taste, this is probably it. I love the singing and dancing. I get the characters. It even tickles me that I had just as much angst with bullies in high school as these kids. Every episode hasn't been perfect, but it's perfectly fine that they keep striving.
2. The Middle. I was buying all the pre-season hype about Modern Family and Community, so it was a really sweet surprise that The Middle has turned out to be the best new comedy of 2009. Not only is it terrific and real, but when you find a show and adopt it early, you become like a cult member and advocate like crazy for it. This is me advocating for Patricia Heaton and Neil Flynn's excellent sitcom.
3. Nurse Jackie. You gotta love that Showtime can get away with a show like Nurse Jackie; hard, raw and funny. Edie Falco plays Jackie like the mess that she is, but you admire her grit and determination to do her job well, even under less than wonderful conditions. She's probably going to win another Emmy.
4. In Plain Sight. The second season of In Plain Sight was superior to the first. That's it. Simple. The show improved, the characters were more focused, the stories were much better. What was a good watch became a must-see show. And the cliffhanger ending still has me worried about Mary's fate.
5. Big Love. There aren't enough words to describe how good Big Love is. Complicated, diabolical, spiritual... it takes you into a world you don't know and yet makes it understandable. You wouldn't want to be part of the Hendricksons, but you can enjoy their consternation.
6. Parks & Recreation. All those other NBC sitcoms get the notices and Emmys, but in a quiet little way, Parks & Recreation has wormed its way into the top spot on the network in my estimation. Amy Poehler is Leslie Knope. She's become that character and owned her outright. Brilliant look at small town America.
7. The Good Wife. What I really think is working about The Good Wife and makes it one of the best shows of the year is that it's more than just the premise. They have a plan and this has become a top-notch legal show. And since it's not by David E. Kelly, it's fresh.
8. Drop Dead Diva. Lifetime's little show that could... Whimsical and touching, Drop Dead Diva was television comfort food. The characters weren't larger than life, they were human and flawed. The cases touched close to home, and Jane's journey from Deb to the woman she could be was compelling TV.
9. Lost. Nothing like an end date to focus the writers, hey? I am absolutely riveted to Lost and the possibility of what's going to happen in this upcoming final season. And that's thanks for the 2009 season that -- literally -- ended with a bang.
10. The Best Thing I Ever Ate. You might consider this a shout-out to Food Network, but seriously, I loved this show. The professional foodies talking about the dishes they've eaten around the country and can't forget was delicious TV. I could taste every bite just because of their enthusiasm for the food.
Worst (explanations in one sentence or less)
1. Accidentally on Purpose. Bring back Dharma without Greg, that would be funnier.
2. The Jay Leno Show. Retro in a bad way.
3. Cougar Town. Not funny, but annoying.
4. Project Runway. It lost all its edge.
5. The Real Housewives of Atlanta. Pointless excess that made these women look foolish.
6. The Insider. Who are these people gossiping about the daily news and why are they on my TV?
7. Hank. Kelsey, look in the mirror. You said "yes" to this.
8. The Fashion Line. Bravo's poor replacement for Project Runway.
9. Sports Nation. Stick to radio, Colin Cowherd.
10. Bridezillas. Who would anyone marry any of these women?
• 30 Rock. Sorry, but this show is like Mad magazine becoming Cracked. It's all over the place and sliding by.
• Modern Family. Have the nation's critics been so swayed by this show's hype that they haven't noticed that it's disconnected and uneven? The hokey, voice-over narrations at the end of most shows is toe-curling. The Middle deserves the big praise, not Modern Family.
Worst decision by a network
The Jay Leno Show. NBC's idea of giving up 10 o'clock weekday programming to all Jay Leno, all the time was insane. It will go down in history as one of the dumbest moves ever by a network. You watch, they'll reverse the decision in 2010 and move Jay into quarterly specials or a sitcom or something to fulfill that contract. He could sweep the halls at 30 Rockefeller Plaza or tune up the corporate cars.
Worst success story
TMZ. Anytime I watch this show I feel the need to shower. Harvey Levin is really living down to the image of lawyers as bloodsuckers. Did they have Michael Jackson's death first? Yes. But the way they feast on celebrity gossip is horrific.
Best network
CBS. Yes, they skew older, but they also reach more total viewers than any other network. Give credit to Les Moonves. He does it right and he's reaping the success with NCIS, The Big Bang Theory, The Mentalist and the like.

The Garage Fit foam roller also helps to restore and advance flexibility through the stretching of soft muscle tissue. When made a part of any fitness and Cross Training routine, this foam roller will support lean muscle tissue gains and increased workout volume while protecting you from injury. You can easily incorporate foam rolling into any routine, whether at home or the gym. Simply roll one body part at a time for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Ideally, choose a 6-inch space on that body part to work, then move up or down to the next space.
Knots form every time we push ourselves in the gym. With each Front Level or Deadlift that you perform, you put yourself at risk for more and more knots. When they aren't taken care of, knots can steal volume and reps from your progress. Don't be held back by adhesions. Protect your ego and your body with the GarageFit foam roller.

The Purdue quarterback has played the past eight games without the ligament supporting his left knee. He tore it in the Boilermakers' second game of the season, returned less than a month later and ultimately led his team to the Heart of Dallas Bowl.
