Amarillo's ever-evolving downtown development is evolving again. This time it appears Wallace Bajjali, the Sugar Land-based firm the city hired to revitalize downtown, and the City Commission are going underground.
Not figuratively, though maybe secretly and certainly literally. And those with a large stake in the city's future couldn't be more excited.
On Tuesday at City Hall, representatives of Wallace Bajjali, the City Commission, Center City of Amarillo Inc., and Downtown Amarillo Inc., will join together to announce the stunning construction of a 168-acre downtown complex tentatively called Panhandle Pete's Premier Prairie Dog Town.
"To call this simply a prairie dog town," said Amarillo Mayor Paul Harpole, "is to call Disneyland simply an amusement park. We certainly want public feedback on this, but once they see our vision for the future, they will see we're looking at the Taj Mahal of prairie dog towns, and we couldn't be more excited."
Holes have apparently got city leaders more excited than baseballs. Because of questions of viability and construction time, indications are the city has quietly scrapped plans for a $30.3-million, 4,500-seat multievent venue, part of the $113-million development plan announced in August, in favor of a cheaper state-of-the-art prairie dog town.
Estimates from Rodent Activities and Leisure, an outdoor small-animal marketing firm based in Ottumwa, Iowa, is a prairie dog town of this magnitude would create 34 new jobs and 60 construction jobs. The cost would be about a third of the multi-event venue, or approximately $10.8 million.
"Research has shown over and over that people, be it locals or tourists, have an affinity for a lively, progressive prairie dog town," said David Wallace, CEO of Wallace Bajjali. "It's family-oriented. It's educational, and frankly, the critters are so darn cute."
As with the previous project that never got off the ground, this one will get underground financially without a property tax increase. Funding will come through user fees, and a federal incentive program that provides immigration visas to foreign investors who put $500,000 into job-creating projects.
"People from at least four countries have told Wallace Bajjali they want to be players in our prairie dog town," said Amarillo City Commissioner Ellen Robertson Green. "You know how the French just love Jerry Lewis? I guess it's the same with some foreign investors with prairie dogs."
Reptile Gardens just south of Rapid City, S.D., has served as a model for Amarillo's venture. In October, six city leaders — on their own dime, city records show — took a trip to Mount Rushmore and stopped to see the Reptile Garden complex, which also houses a unique prairie dog town.
In addition to the maze of underground tunnels burrowed by the rodents, visitors to Amarillo's venue can get underground as well and cover themselves with a hard-shell plastic bubble. It puts them at a safe eye level with the prairie dogs, giving the public the same kind of sensation as watching "Willard," the 1970s horror thriller about rats taking over a house.
Lubbock has had a prairie dog town inside Mackenzie Park since the 1930s. Harpole admitted that our sister city having one while Amarillo didn't has always been a bur under his saddle.
"First and foremost," Harpole said, "Lubbock is not going to have a better or bigger prairie dog town than us. Not on my watch, mister."
Official plans call for a Western town design for prairie dogs to roam through. It will include a miniature saloon, hotel, blacksmith shop, livery stable, drygoods store and house of ill repute as well as an oil derrick, pump jack and a replica of wild and woolly Borger in the 1920s.
Operational year-round, plans also call for a retractable clear dome that will allow visitors to interact with the prairie dogs even in the winter months.
Location will be approximately where the multi-event venue was scheduled — in the parking lot of City Hall, a large segment of Southeast Eighth Avenue to the south, and sites occupied by the current Coca-Cola distributor.
Specific plans can still be tweaked, Wallace cautioned. But a large blinking neon sign, three times the size of the Paramount sign on Polk Street, with a winking prairie dog moving its tail, certainly will be part of the downtown streetscape. Sort of like Porky's.
"Dream come true," said Wes Reeves, a local history buff and a big proponent of the restored Paramount sign several years ago.
Alienating baseball fans is a possibility, so the city, in conjunction with the Amarillo Sox, will sponsor at least three "Handgun and Hard Liquor" nights in the middle of week.
"You know," said Sox General Manager Mark Lee, "the way our attendance struggles on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, it sounds like a 'win-win' for everybody."
Just when it seems like the city's groups have done their homework, Harpole threw out even another benefit.
"Only a few know this," he said, "but are you aware how much their nitrogen-rich dung improves soil quality and vegetation? It's tremendous."
Keeping pace with other cities in luring the tourist dollar is crucial, City Commissioner Brian Eades said, and Panhandle Pete's Premier Prairie Dog Town provides a compelling draw.
Embarrassment could be a possibility, if all of this were actually going to happen. But it's not. Check today's date and then put together the first letter of these 24 prairie dog-dung paragraphs and remember if something is too good to be true, it usually is.

Generally speaking, credit union credit cards provide better terms for their members than those issued by big banks. However, this may not be true across the board depending on the category of card you're after.
A post-bank-collapse-survey was conducted by Pew Research a few years ago that suggested that credit cards issued by credit unions provide lower rates and less fees but may not provide quite the same reward structure. While a reward program is important to many people, it is essential to first focus on more important details including the interest rate and fees.
The study noted that big banks tend to make it more difficult for customers to sniff out hidden fees and potential rate hikes associated with their cards. On the other hand, credit unions are known to keep their card applications and terms/conditions as simple and straight forward as possible.
All in all, credit unions have the reputation for being more customer friendly because they are generally locally established/owned institions whose members are also shareholders. Along with this, they are not-for-profit institutions that pass along profits back to customers in the form of lower loan rates (and credit card APRs).
What to Look for in a Balance Transfer Card?
Before making the decision to apply for a balance transfer card from a credit union (or bank for that matter) you must first determine what you need from the card.
The first thing you should sniff out in the fine print are the fees. Like we mentioned above, this is typically where a credit union balance transfer card has an edge. The most important fee is the transfer fee. With a standard card issued by one of the main credit card companies this fee will sit right around 3 percent. Therefor for every $1,000 you plan on transferring, you'll need $30 up front. With a credit union card, you'll usually get this fee waived – a great deal for those looking to transfer a hefty sum.
However, the trade off is that credit unions rarely offer 0% APR terms. While many bank issued balance transfer cards will offer promotional 0% APR introductory terms of between 6 – 18 months (followed by a substantially higher APR after the promotional term), credit unions will just keep a consistently low APR throughout the life of the card.
Below is a perfect example of a solid balance transfer credit card offer by a credit union (sent in by a BankVibe reader). You may not be able to join this particular credit union, but this should give you a good idea of what to look for from your own local credit union.
Consumers Credit Union Balance Transfer Credit Card
For those with little knowledge on the subject, it can be difficult to understand just how much a credit union credit card has to offer. To learn more, take a closer look at the Consumers Credit Union Balance Transfer Credit Card which was forwarded to us this week by BankVibe.com reader Jake.
Here's the scoop: Consumers Credit Union offers three distinct credit cards, each one offering the flexibility and convenience customers have come to love.
Platinum Visa with Rewards
While most credit union credit cards don't have a reward program, this one is different. For each purchase, you will earn points that be redeemed for everything from travel to gifts and much more.
Other features of this card include:
- No annual fee
- Credit limit ranging from $500 to $50,000
- Rates as low as 9.99% APR
- No balance transfer fee
- Accepted all over the world
Gold MasterCard
This credit card does not have a reward program like the Visa, but there are other benefits such as a lower APR:
- No annual fee
- Credit limit ranging from $500 to $50,000
- Rates as low as 8.99% APR
- No balance transfer fee
- Accepted all over the world
As you can see, the main difference between the Gold MasterCard and Platinum Visa is the reward program (offered by Visa) and lower APR (MasterCard wins here).
Credit Builder Credit Card
Are you looking for a way to build credit for the first time or repair a damaged credit history? If so, the credit builder credit card is the right choice. Many recent graduates find this offer to be the perfect choice.
- Credit limit starting at $500
- Flexible requirements
- Low minimum monthly income requirement
Consumers Credit Union is just one example of an establishment that offers flexible and convenient credit card options. Stop by your local credit union for a better idea of what they can do for you.

I was 8 years old and in the second grade when I first discovered the Spork. Simply put, my mind was blown! This revolutionary invention transformed the way I ate that entire school year, and the ones to follow. Never again did I, or do I, have to choose between a fork and a spoon when eating mac 'n' cheese, mashed potatoes, spaghetti or even ice cream without the fear of ridicule. The combination of the two not only makes consuming food easy, but pretty darn cool too.
Kiddos today, however, have taken the coolness out of the cafeteria and brought it to the playgrounds thanks to the innovative folks at Stride Rite. If you haven't seen or heard, the company has reinvented the shoe by blending together elements of a sneaker and a snow boot. Yes, that's right, the "snoot" is the next big thing for toddlers and little kids alike!
This hybrid design allows kids to run, jump and play in snow with ease all while keeping their little feet warm and protected from chilly temperatures. The fold-down shaft also makes it convenient for those winter days when snow is not yet a factor. Traditional winter boots can be clunky, uncomfortable and hard to get on, but the grip-and-grab strap of the snoop makes it quick and convenient for parents to get their little ones dressed.
Learn more about the snoot's many features, as well as hear stories from moms who wanted a better solution to the typical boot, by clicking the short video clip below!

Meanwhile, Back at the Ranch
by Anne Isaacs
No current Talk conversations about this book.
An outrageously entertaining, Texas-size tall tale for older children.
Tulip Jones inherits a ranch a 35 million dollars. Everyone wants her for her money and she doesn't want to marry any of them. Charlie, a baker she hires, marries Tulip and they have a cake for 2000 newly weds. "They live happily ever after."
"Meanwhile back By-Golly Ranch" there are potatoes so huge, it takes only seven to make a dozen; a single watermelon feeds everyone on the ranch for a month; tortoises are so big and fast, you can ride them like horses; and since the widow Tulip Jones has just inherited thirty-five million dollars, every single man in Texas is after her hand in marriage. But of course Tulip Jones doesn't need or want a husband! Included in the suitors is Sheriff Aroyo and his brother Spit, part of the notoriously evil Hole in the Pants Gang. Despite Sherriff Aroyo and Spit's best efforts to win over Tulip and her money, they are unsuccessful. Instead, Tulip turns in the Hole in the Pants Gang and sets up the rest of the suitors with brides. Tulip also finds true love with Charlie Doughpuncher, a baker from Abilene, and "back at the ranch, they lived happily every after".
This has probably been one of the best books I have read this semester. I love Tulip Jones' character, it is great to read a book about such a confident and smart, feminist woman. I also love the illustrations. Illustrator Kevin Hawkes really captured the By-Golly Ranch and the Hole in the Pants Gang better than I could have imagined it.
The words on the endpaper will give all readers a chuckle, older ones more than younger: "To those who read this tale, notice is hereby given: Under full penalty of law, exaggeration is forbidden in the state of Texas. No Texan may decorate a plain fact - except if that person is an elected official....." The story itself is vintage Issacs as she spins a tall tale with a distinctly feminist twist. In 1870, when a clever widow inherited millions and a Texas ranch, she ended up with a thousand suitors all seeking the hand of this wealthy woman. Happy by herself she wanted no one. With the help of ranch hand, Charlie, she came up with three impossible tasks -- to make the Rio Grande flow backwards, to fill a bucket with stars, and then to capture a dangerous gang. The end has its own sweet twist.
Great story!!

Lagos acquires 50 hectares of land in Abuja, and Ogun to cultivate food
The Governor of Lagos State, Mr Babatunde Fashola (SAN) has revealed that the state government has acquired about 50 hectares of land in Abuja and neighbouring Ogun State for cultivation of food to support its agriculture and job-creation scheme.
Fashola made this known on Wednesday while he was speaking about the state government's agricultural scheme as he was presenting the states 2013 budget estimated at N497.277billion to the State House of assembly.
Admitting the challenge of limited land in the coastal city, the governor stated that "due to the limited amount of land the State has to cultivate, the administration is pursuing a radical alternative of acquiring land for farming outside Lagos."
According to the Governor, "the administration has already secured 50 hectares in Abuja, and Ogun State which is four times bigger than Lagos in land size for cultivation." He added that "other States such as Bauchi, Osun, Ekiti, Oyo and Katsina are favourably considering the State's requests for farm lands."
The administration is also cultivating 75 hectares of land for rice under its Rice for Jobs programme while the irrigation project to improve, yield and produce rice per hectare is progressing positively in Badagry.
Reeling out his administration's further achievement in the agricultural sector, the governor stated that the 500 hectares of land was recently allocated for rice farming to feed the Imota Rice mill just as his administration has successfully completed the Imota Rice Mill in Ikorodu, the Erikorodo Feed Mill, the Erikorodo Chicken Processing Plant, also in Ikorodu and revitalized Ikorodu Fish Farm Estate.
The governor added that in Epe, the Agric Youth Empowerment Scheme is progressing with the training of a new batch of 200 graduates for whom the Executive Council recently approved the release of N500M that will be given to them shortly along with one hectare of land per farmer to enable them start formal production.
The Governor who also spoke about a very massive storm that hit Lagos on 17th August 2012 which adversely affected Kuramo beach, Goshen Beach Estate, Oniru Estate and Alpha Beach explained that the government has designed a coastal protection plan with its consultants from the Netherlands, that will stretch for about 7 kilometres to protect Kuramo, Victoria Island Extension, Oniru Estate, Goshen Beach Estate and Alpha Beach.
"It will cost about N40billion to implement it over at least two budgetary cycles. Without help, we are constrained to finance and implement the plan in phases to arrest the immediate threats and then deliver the protection" he said.
While noting that the Federal Government gave the State a B Risk categorization with a support of only N400million, Governor Fashola said the State viewing its risk problem differently has had to act expeditiously.
Breakdown of N497.277billion budget for 2013
The 2013 budget comprised of capital expenditure of N268.364billion and recurrent figure of N139.173billion, exceeding the 2012 Budget by 1.08%.
The budget's capital expenditure to recurrent ratio for the year 2013 is 54:46 as against 53:47 in 2012.
The sectorial allocation of the Budget in size and percentage are as follows: General Public Service- N114.076billion which amounts to 22.94%, Public Order & Safety- N18.799billion which is 3.78%, Economic Affairs-N156.273billion which is-31.43%,Environmental Protection-N44.131billion which is 8.87%, Housing & CommunityAmenities-N46.149billion which is -9.28%, Health- N42.498billion which is 8.55%, Recreation, Culture & Religion-N5.749billion which amounts to 1.16%, Education-64.343billion which is 12.94%, Social Protection-N3.259billion which amounts to 0.66%, Contingency-N2.000billion which is 0.44% all totalling N497.277billion.
The governor explained that in keeping faith with the promise that he made during the 2012 Budget presentation to gradually reduce the deficit and borrowing as the tenure approaches its terminal date, it has moved from a borrowing of N89 Billion in 2011 to N66 Billion in 2012 and now proposed a further reduction to N40Billion.
"The size of the deficit is reducing while our Consolidated Debt Service Account has grown to N60 Billion and will reach N95 Billion by the end of our tenure and that will be after we would have repaid the N50 Billion first tranche of the Bond Series", he stated.
He also said the proposed deficit financing requirement for the 2013 Budget is N40.537billion which is 0.3% of the State's GDP compared to 1.19% which was earmarked in 2012.
2012 budget implementation performance of 72%
The Governor also highlighted some of the challenges faced by the 2012 budget which included the depreciating value of the Naira against the Dollar which exchanged for N118 in 2007 and rose to N160 in 2012.
He drew attention to the high cost of funds represented by growing interest and borrowing rates, from about 10% in 2007 to 17% in 2011, which was an increase of 70%.
"At the end of the 3rd Quarter Budget presentation, we achieved an aggregate budget implementation performance of 72% for the period January to September 2012. The breakdown has been presented in our quarterly briefings as 65% in Q1, 84% in Q2 and 65% in Q3".
He said although the State had recorded increases in its IGR, they did not increase by these percentage quantum, adding that in addition to these there were issues of increases to the pump prices of petrol which disrupted plans and the consequential need to re-price all contracts and projects that had been planned for implementation in order to ensure that the plans remained realistic and responsive to the dynamics that suddenly changed.
The Speaker of the State House of Assembly, Honourable Adeyemi Ikuforiji while speaking gave a commitment that the House of Assembly would give the necessary expeditious legislative consideration of the proposed Budget.

Earlier this week the San Francisco Film Society announced the eight finalists for the 5th annual SFFS / Hearst Screenwriting Grant - a $15,000 award for a screenwriter who has been practicing for at least 5 years, and who has previously written a minimum of one feature screenplay.
The grant is open to writers residing in the USA, with priority given to writers whose previous short or feature screenplays have been produced as independent films.
The finalists were selected from submissions received in response to a nationwide call for entries. The winner will be announced in mid-September.
Scanning through the list of finalists for titles/filmmakers to highlight here (given this site's mission), I immediately noticed a project from Shaka King (director of this year's Sundance selection, the stoner dramedy Newlyweeds), who's obviously already graduating to his sophomore feature.
Titled Liquid Courage, based on the film's limited description, it looks like it continues writer/director Shaka King's "recreational drug" focus:
In the 90's, drugs and alcohol ruined Deuce Harding's career. In 2013 they'll make him a star.
Of course, the phrase "liquid courage," in short, refers to the use of alcohol as a catalyst for bravery, or courage.
I've yet to see King's feature film debut, Newlyweeds; although Zeba saw it at the Sundance Film Festival this year, and reviewed the film enthusiastically HERE.
Phase 4 Films will open the crowd-pleasing stoner dramedy on September 18, 2013, at Film Forum theaters here in New York City.
The gritty, stoner romantic dramedy stars Amari Cheatom and newcomer Trae Harris, in a bittersweet blend of comedy and drama that tells the story of polar opposites Lyle (Cheatom) and Nina (Harris) - a repo-man and a flower child whose bond is forged and frayed by their mutual adoration and voracious consumption of cannabis.
Isiah Whitlock, Colman Domingo, Tonya Pinkins, Diane Neal, Adrian Martinez and Hassan Johnson round out the cast.
Jim Wareck, Michael Matthews, Shaka King and Gbenga Akinnagbe are all producers.
It's one of 10 feature films selected by the Sundance Institute for the first-ever NEXT WEEKEND film festival (an extension of the popular NEXT <=> section at the Sundance Film Festival), August 8-11, which takes places at Sundance Sunset Cinema and additional venues throughout Los Angeles.
Tickets ($12–15) are on sale now for Sundance Institute members and will be available to the public, tomorrow, Thursday at www.sundance.org/nexttickets.
I'm looking forward to finally seeing Newlyweeds, and learning more about Liquid Courage.

A dermoid cyst is a pocket or cavity under the skin that contains tissues normally present in the outer layers of the skin. The pocket forms a mass that is sometimes visible at birth or in early infancy but often is not seen until later years. Dermoid cysts are usually found on the head or neck, and sometimes on the face.
A dermoid cyst is a congenital defect (present from birth) that occurs during embryonic development when the skin layers do not properly grow together. A dermoid cyst is lined with epithelium, which contains tissues and cells normally present in skin layers, including hair follicles, sebaceous (skin oil), and sweat glands. These glands and tissues secrete their normal substances which collect inside the cyst, causing it to grow and enlarge.
The following are the most common symptoms of a dermoid cyst. However, each child may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include a small, often painless, lump in the mid-line of the neck (in which the skin over the lump can easily be moved). The lump may be skin-colored, or may have a slight yellow tinge.
The symptoms of a dermoid cyst may resemble other neck masses or medical problems. Always consult your child's physician for a diagnosis.
Dermoid cysts are diagnosed by physical examination. Generally, the mass can be easily moved beneath the skin. In addition to a complete medical history and physical examination, diagnostic procedures to determine if the cyst is connected to other tissues in the head and neck may include:
Specific treatment of a dermoid cyst will be determined by your child's physician based on:
Treatment may include surgery to remove the cyst as the cyst may slowly enlarge and become of cosmetic or functional concern.

My 1 year old cockatiel has been regurgitating/vomiting seed off/on for the past 4 days. It started on a weekend and the vet's office was not open. Monday, I took him to his avian vet who did a stool culture and a crop wash (both in house cytology) and IV hydration. Tests did not show infection. They put him on two antibiotics just to be safe. He eats heartily (at times when he is not going through the vomiting) and is not puffed up or looking sick.
He has lost about 8 grams but is stable right now. His feces are fairly normal although a few days ago they were very dark green with few, if any, urates and he had been peeing clear and drinking excessively(that only lasted about 12 hours tops). The feces and pee situation have gone back to normal and he is no longer drinking or peeing copiously, but he continues to vomit seed from time to time.
His face is not covered in any gunk but he goes through phases where he flicks his head from side to side and seed will fly out. I see it on the bottom of the cage and outside the cage. Some of it is dried but some newer seeds (whole millet and what not) are still a little slimy from having been recently released. I cannot afford more expensive testing for him such as x-rays or detailed blood work. Do you have any suggestions??
He is still chewing on toys and playing with things and preening and eating fairly normally. I am at a loss. Thank you for any suggestions/advice. I am stuck between a rock and a hard place because my funds are very limited (husband lost his job). Thank you.

WIAW–Dreams of Breakfast
Good morning! Things are starting off here bright and early. I actually made it to the 5:30 spin class! Never mind the fact that I felt like a zombie for the first three songs, because I feel great now!
Ask me again around 4:00 this afternoon, though
Since I enjoyed participating in What I Ate Wednesday and it seemed to be well-received last week, I thought I'd give it a repeat this week
Breakfast #1-6:30 a.m.
I normally don't eat this early, but I was hung-ry! I think it's because I didn't really eat a nighttime snack before bed like I usually do, save for a few pieces of watermelon. I think I even dreamt that I was hungry! haha This was just part 1 of breakfast, to get me through my workout.
Chocolatey overnight oats. The usual mix, which just tastes fabulous. I topped it with my homemade honey almond butter. It was tasty, but it almost made me too full. However, not too full to finish it off
Lunch – 1:30 p.m.
Lunch was smaller since breakfast was eaten late and filled me up quite a bit. I continued with the "salad salad" theme of the week, and went with tuna salad. I just mixed some Greek yogurt, mayo, relish, chopped HB egg, s&p, paprika, and chopped onion with a can of my favorite tuna and topped it on a bed of spinach. On the side I ate an apple, and the apple pie Uber larabar, which was super tasty
Snack – 4:00 p.m.
In the late afternoon, I had an hour break in my day before I had to be back to train a couple more clients. When I walked in the house and saw the kettle corn, I went after it.
I'm obsessed with kettle corn lately! In fact, Shane and I got a giant box of mini kettle corn (I almost wrote kettle bell LOL) in the basement to snack on while we watch movies. There were 28 little bags when we got the box, and now there are three
Dinner – 7:45 p.m. – Barbeque chicken, broccoli, and sweet potato salad
I don't normally eat dinner this late, but had a later client. I almost grabbed Subway, but then remembered I had chicken thawed in the fridge. Besides, ever since I made this potato salad, I've been thinking of how to make a sweet potato salad.
And I nailed it! Recipe coming this afternoon for the sweet potato salad, but I will say I will be making MUCH more of this side dish in the future
Now, I'd usually post something like 8:30 – nighttime snack – coconut milk ice cream or something else sweet here, however, after dinner I was SO full. Actually, let me clarify: after putting away dinner – and sneaking a couple extra bites of the sweet potato salad, chicken, and veggies – I was so full
Do you usually snack after dinner? If so, what's your typical nighttime snack?
This is actually one of my weaknesses. I feel like I have to have something dessert-like before bed. I'm trying to break this cycle, but it's tough! And…I like my nighttime sweet tooth dessert, haha

1,000 FPL customers briefly without power in Edgewater area
Published: Monday, February 18, 2013 at 7:41 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, February 18, 2013 at 9:19 p.m.
About 1,000 Florida Power & Light customers were without power for about a half-hour Monday morning due to a switch being tripped, a FPL spokesman said.
The power went out about 7 a.m. to customers in the Edgewater area, but everyone was back on by 7:30 a.m., said FPL spokesman Greg Brostowicz.
Brostowicz said crews found a switch had been tripped and had to be manually reset, however it was not clear what caused the problem.
"We did see a high (electric) load in the area," he said.
Brostowicz could not be specific as to the exact locale of the outage.

having troubles with my juvenile charges, now I'm 19…?
Asked: having troubles with my juvenile charges, now I'm 19…?
When I was in juvie prison (age 14 and again at age 16) all the inmates were told our charges would be lifted once we turned 18… LIES! I'm now 19 and still carry my charges. I got three cases of disorderly conduct, a freakin' prescription charge, two charges of probation violation… Which really is crazy! And when I had asked about getting them lifted a month ago I was told I had to pay a fine or fee… And that it wasn't gonna be cheap… I'm poor! I can't pay a lot of money!
Job wise, I was okay at first- had a job in child care working at a day care center. But now I can't get a job anywhere… I only got my first job because of all my excellent references from children services telling my boss about how I took care of other foster kids all the time and about how children love and listen to me…
What can I do? When I say I'm poor I'm talking about struggling- having to sell my possessions on eBay so our electric doesn't get shut off on the 19th… I can't pay some unreasonable charges. The next three paragraphs are unnecessary, but explain my charges and my innocence.
Disorderly conduct- I only fought to protect my mom and myself from my 400 pound older brother! My brother should have been locked up, but they couldn't do anything to him because he was prescribed to a a sleep apnea machine- that he never even used… He was totally out of control and mom just let him go on his rampages, but when he was hurting us I always had to get violent and I was the one getting in trouble because my brother would cry and act like a sweet heart when the cops came… Once he put scratches all over his body and face with a screwdriver just to get me in trouble… (age 14)
P.V's- I got these stupid things because I withdrew from school so I could move out of state.. Which my P.O had given me permission to do so, and even said once I moved I'd no longer be on probation… Which I was on probation for three years- she watched everything I did. The other violation was because I started missing school… Well, I was homeless and couldn't do squat about it- and I only missed a week before I was arrested… (age 16)
Prescription abuse- Mom and I were living with friends at the time, we had been kicked out of our house and were homeless… Well, I fell down the stairs and hurt myself while moving, so I was given percocet.. Well, the people we were living with kept stealing our stuff, and when my P.O arrested me for withdrawing from school she claimed there was ONE pill missing… I don't even smoke tobacco or drink! Nowadays the worst pill I take is Tylenol! I'm 100% clean, why would I be dealing drugs? AND nowadays I can't get any prescriptions for narcotics… Broke my foot last year and the best I got was naproxen… Which didn't help the pain. (age 16)

During Pregnancy, Majority Of B.C. Women Take Prescription Drugs
Main Category: Pregnancy / Obstetrics
Also Included In: Pharmacy / Pharmacist ; Anxiety / Stress ; Sleep / Sleep Disorders / Insomnia
Article Date: 20 Dec 2011 – 0:00 PST
email to a friend printer friendly opinions
Almost two-thirds of women in British Columbia filled at least one prescription at some point in their pregnancy, including drugs with potential risks, according to a new study by University of British Columbia researchers.
The study, published online in the journal Clinical Therapeutics, is the first of its kind in Canada. Researchers analyzed population-based outpatient prescription claims data for patterns of prescription drug use during pregnancy in B.C. from 2001 to 2006.
The researchers found that 63.5 per cent of pregnant women in B.C. filled at least one prescription. One in thirteen – or 7.8 per cent – filled a prescription for a medicine known to be risky in pregnancy – most often for select medicines for anxiety , insomnia and depression . Drugs that are strictly contraindicated in pregnancy, however, were filled in less than 0.5% of pregnancies.
"Although much remains to be understood about the appropriateness of medicine use that actually occurs among pregnant women in B.C., one encouraging finding from our study is that existing use of medicines with known risks declines dramatically when women become pregnant," says co-author Steve Morgan, an associate professor in the School of Population and Public Health (SPPH) and Associate Director of the Centre for Health Services and Policy Research (CHSPR).
On average, pregnant women filled 2.6 different types of drugs, while 15 per cent used five or more prescription medications during their pregnancy. Prescriptions most frequently filled during pregnancy were for antibiotics (30.5 per cent), respiratory drugs (25.7 per cent), dermatologics (13.4 per cent), and drugs that act on the nervous system (12.8 per cent).
Other study findings include: The use of medicines in pregnancy slightly increased over time, going from 63 per cent of women in 2001 to 66 per cent in 2006. Women aged 20 years or younger were most likely to take prescription drugs during pregnancy (69 per cent) while the lowest rate occurred among those aged 30 to 35 years (62 per cent). Prescription medication use was also high in the first three months immediately following delivery, a period when women may be breastfeeding, with 61.3 per cent of women filling prescriptions. "Since pregnant women are normally excluded from clinical trials of new drugs and post-market study is limited, there is little evidence on the risks and benefits of many of the most commonly used drugs in pregnancy," says lead author Jamie Daw, a researcher at CHSPR, part of SPPH. "Given the prevalence of prescription drug use, more research is needed to help pregnant women and their physicians make informed decisions."

Two people meet opposite the Brooklyn Bridge. "Buy the bridge from me," says one to the other, "You'll get a bargain price." "How much?" the potential buyer asks. "A million dollars," is the reply. "We have a deal," says the buyer. He takes out his checkbook and proceeds to write a check. The check changes hands and each goes his own separate way.
Little wisdom, much arrogance
If they do not meet the conditions of an intermediate agreement, it's no big deal - we'll just skip to the final-status agreement.

Albertos Salsa

A cool bar & lounge located in Mountain View with a great instructor and chill atmosphere. Plenty of seating, a full bar, and live bands of Friday nights. Music is a mix of salsa and bachata, with a sprinkling of cha cha and merrengue.

Our Review:
The atmosphere at Albertos really depends on which night you go on.
Tuesday is the quietest night, with a good crowd coming out for the lesson, but not as many staying for the dancing afterwards. They do offer a $7 discount for students on Tuesdays though.
Thursday night is the best night to go dancing, and always draws a large crowd of dancers, with a good mix of both beginner and advanced dancers.
Friday night is the rowdiest night, and there is usually a live band playing. However, usually on Fridays there are a lot of people that are just out looking to drink and party, so it's not as good for dancing.
Overall, Albertos is one of my favorite places to go salsa dancing in the South Bay.
Alberto's is not the place to go if you're looking for "hardcore dancing" but it's a fun club with a very beginner-friendly vibe, and one of the best all around venues in the South Bay. Thursday night is highly recommended.

Went on Tuesday, and as a guy, can't recommend it. Not only are there too few women to go around, but the instructor does very little to help minimize the waiting time between partners.
Like others mentioned, as a guy, you just end up either waiting and waiting or going through the motions all alone. Very sad, and I at least don't go out dancing to gets sad.
Will pass from now on.

I went to this place last Friday. My girlfriend was out of town, so I went by myself. I think this could be an ok place if you go with your girlfriend or friends, and you dance with them. I especially do not recommend this place for a guy if you go by yourself. There weren't that many girls, and most of them were not dancing socially with everyone, but just with their friends. If you want to hang out, and have a drink and chat, and dance a couple of salsas, this is a good place. But if you really want to dance and meet friendly and 'serious' dancers, then you probably will not have fun at this place. There were like 10 intermediate/advanced dancers. The rest of the people were just there to hang out and chat and have a drink (nothing wrong with that if that is what you like to do). It may be more fun on Thursday I guess.

I went to Alberto's on a Thursday night for the first time a week or two ago and was pleasantly surprised. Alberto's was very easy to find and I was able to park on the street practically right in front of the club. The dance floor was spacious for a night club and the stage looked nice, though no one was using it. The atmosphere was very comfortable, not intimidating at all, and there was seating all around for belongings and shoe-changing. I am not sure it's worth the $10 admissions fee but it is definitely worth a visit or two :P

I love this place and Pantea is an outstanding dance instructor. She makes the instruction fun. The break between beginner and intermediate lessons are awesome to practice some of the patterns. Dance floor is big but without A/C so it gets too hot easily. I should say the main attraction is Pantea. There are some regulars coming to her classes every week. I've become addicted too!

One of my favorite spots to go dancing in the South Bay! Thursday is the night to visit– Tuesdays tend to be a little light, and Fridays can get a little rowdy with random partiers. Thursday is when all the dancers come out.
Pantea is great if you come for the lesson, and the dancing usually goes until around 1am. There's a good mix of dancers of all levels here. Like a lot of other events in the South Bay, some nights can be guy heavy, which is great if you're a girl but not so great if you're a guy.
Great salsa place overall– I would recommend it to anyone in the area that's looking to dance and have a good time!
I tried Alberto's Salsa on the recommendation of a friend. It's conveniently located off the main drag in Mtn View with plenty of parking around. The staff are friendly and attentive. The bar is pretty big and has plenty of options with nightly drink specials.
They have classes for beginners and intermediate dancers before starting the social dancing. The night I went, they only had DJ music, but it was very good and rotated between salsa, bachata and merengue. I am looking forward to trying it out when they have live music. I'd recommend Alberto's Salsa Friday nights.
In the last 2 years, I have been attending Bachata dance lesssons at Wednesday nights. The review score is given for the following reasons:
1) Location is at Mt. View downtown. It is a safe area with available free
parking, good resturants and outing vib. It is close to Silicone Valley.
2) Pantea is a good instructor. She is very skillful and helpful.
3) The space is relative new and comfortable. Music is nice to dance.
4) Most of the experience dancers are friendly.
5) After comparision to the other Bachata instructions and parites,
this is my 1st choice.
The only drawback is dancers are normally more men than women. It is not the dance club itself. It is the Silicon Valley location. Maybe cover fee discount for women could help ?
Ok, has to be the most chill and relaxed place to polish your moves… very international crowd, young, mature, exhibitionist, etc. Very friendly group of folks who will teach you new stuff and practice their social etiquette. I've been going for more than a year, but have NEVER seen a band. Great place to practice all styles :-)
Pantea is an excellent instructor and Alberto's is a fun place to learn salsa!
2-3 men to every girl (Thursday evening) – as a man I strongly recommend looking for a different venue
Walked straight out, can't say anything about the quality of the venue, teaching or dancers.
Super fun place for a Thursday night! Roomy dance floor, not too crowded, full bar with extra strong drinks, and a lively club atmosphere. Nice lounge area with tables as well where ladies can leave their regular shoes.
Easy parking and worth the $10 entrance fee. Wide mix of (mostly good) dancers. Enjoyed the colorful lighting and decorations. Good place to get a drink and a dance with a beginner or a more advanced partner. Variety of salsa, merengue, and bachata.
Alberto's is a great place to learn how to dance. Tues, Thurs, & Friday are Salsa Nights, Wednesday for Bachata, Rock en Espanol Saturdays and Tango on Sundays. I started dancing about four years ago, been to other places, but still love to dance at Albertos. =)
周五的晚上来了这里,老师教的方法很好,每教完一段都会给音乐练习,听老师介绍,这里还会教On 2, Lady Stying,初学者很好的地方,地板很好,适合跳舞,场地宽敞,推荐。
"I came here on a Friday night, and the teacher here is very good. She taught how to listen to the music, dance On2, and lady's styling. This is a good place for beginners and the floor is very good for dancing. Recommended."
Agree with P-dizzile, bad venue for guys. in the rotation during class it's guy, couple, guy, couple, occasionally guy guy couple. so you have to just stand there waiting.
Pantea is a good teacher.
It is perhaps the strong presence of the bar that changes the people who come to this venue. I find the lessons to be great, but the crowd that arrives to be 70% male. So if you're a chick, it's pretty awesome. It is because of male-heavy venues like this that San Jose has become known as "man jose" for salsa. So, as a dude, it's not necessarily the best– to grab a girl to dance with you have to overcome the competition from several other guys.
And then, there are the guys that just stand or sit at the bar and look at the girls in *that* way. Again, this can be seen as a positive thing by many of the ladies, but if you're there for salsa's sake and not for the sake of hooking up, maybe another venue would be a more suitable choice.

How does a mobile technology leader draw attention to yet another new product at its flagship store? With a bold and unexpected digital experience.
Custom video mapping and shaping were used to deliver breathtaking imagery that bring the stories of the products to a larger-than-life display.
In the heart of the Power & Light District, the Midwest's entertainment epicenter, is the Sprint Studio, the brand's flagship retail store. It is an environment of exploration and experimentation, a place to launch and evolve new customer driven experiences in a carefully controlled setting. Continuum designed the physical embodiment of Sprint's brand energy and promise, building on consumer and industry insight.
Designing a destination for Sprint's consumers meant looking into what would be different, engaging, inspiring, welcoming and impactful. The Sprint Studio encompasses digital content on seventeen large flat screens, multi-touch interactive digital tables and kiosks interacting with consumers. Our job was to turn these screens and kiosks into an experience.
Sprint also celebrated the launch of a breakthrough product with a stunning digital display of video and animation captured in a unique, multilayered projection.This digital experience introduced Sprint's HTC EVO 3D smartphone and EVO 4G View tablet to market. Sprint looked to Continuum to create this innovative digital experience to catch the attention of passers-by and entice them to learn more. Most digitally-projected retail presentations are one-dimensional, Continuum's solution incorporated up to fifteen projections occurring simultaneously.
Custom video mapping and shaping were used to deliver breathtaking imagery that bring the stories of the products to a larger-than-life display. To choreograph our display content series in multiple spots in the studio, we mapped out a digital and spatial strategy, considering animation schedules, time lapses, and a spectrum of customer responses. One feature we developed was a digital queue system, which engaged customers by revealing their names and providing status on expected wait time.
The Sprint Studio store offers visitors a unique way to experience Sprint's products and services, including voice, data, text, email, Web-surfing, Sprint TV, Sprint Music, GPS navigation and Direct Connect in an environment that encourages hands-on learning and interaction. Continuum created motion graphic languages of synchronized light and audio effects that extended and empowered Sprint's brand experience.
The heart of the Sprint Studio is the Digital Lounge. Continuum partnered with TacTable, a local technology start-up company from the MIT Media Lab, to design media tables to encourage customers to connect with content. These digital canvases feature advanced touch screen interfaces showcasing proprietary motion graphics, often encased in illuminated 2d orbs. When a customer touches an orb or places a coaster sensor on the table, the orb opens to reveal "media snacks" – music, video, TV, games, and even an interactive DJ turntable. The Digital Lounge creates a low-pressure environment for sales employees to engage with customers, while continuously allowing people to freely connect with technology and discover at their own pace.

The stock of Seattle biotechnology company Oncothyreon sank 48 cents, or 17.3 percent, to $2.30 Tuesday after it said that its experiment cancer therapy, tecemotide, failed in a clinical study in Japan to improve overall survival in patients with non-small cell lung cancer.
Wedbush analysts expect Oncothyreon partner Merck to discontinue the tecemotide program because of the lack of clinical benefit. Tecemotide was designed to work by stimulating the body's immune system so that it could identify and destroy cancer cells.

Oh yes, there still is news to be had, but not from the world of the full booth coverage. In today's quasi-article (which ends with my musings about the show, admittedly), we'll gloss over a few things of true interest in the graphics card and motherboard worlds. With that said, let's go!

Fresh Android Games for Feb. 28: Chopper Reach, Mortal Skies, Pacific Navy FIghter Lite
by Ian Black
Only one day left in February... let's celebrate! In today's fresh games, Chopper Reach stands out as an unusual aircraft game, Mortal Skies sends you on a mission in WW II Europe, and Pacific Navy Fighter puts you in the pilot's seat on the other front of WWII.
Chopper Reach (Free)
Ever been in a human pyramid? Stand on the shoulders of giants and you can reach much higher.
Chopper Reach turns this concept into a game. Stack people figures one on top of the other to reach a hovering chopper overhead. Select from between two situations – in a canyon or between two skyscrapers. Choose from three positions for the stackable people and be careful of the buffeting winds. If the people fall before reaching the 'copter, you lose.
Mortal Skies (€1.39)
The end of WWII defined drama. The world's superpowers duked it out to determine the fate of all humankind. Now, it's your turn to get in on the action.
You're a fighter pilot in 1944. There are nine different missions that take you over seven types of terrain from snow to canyons. Earn gold, silver, and bronze cups depending on how many enemy planes and installations you take out. Reach the highest levels to unlock new planes and missions. Killer graphics help make this title stand out.
Pacific Navy Fighter Lite (Free)
If you can land on an aircraft carrier, you can land anywhere. Fortunately, you can practice without dying in this fun game.
Déjà vu – you're a fighter pilot in WWII, but this time in the Pacific. You can choose between a Corsair or a Zero. Guide bombers on their missions and defend them against enemy fighters. When you hear the air raid sirens, boogie back to your carrier because it's under attack. If it sinks, you'll have no place to land.

Thinking of Passover
With Purim now done, we look forward to pushing the clocks an hour ahead, spring and Passover (cleaning).
What do you do for Passover to prepare? Is there a massive clean up? Do you plan a special menu or stick with tradition?
I enjoy our Seders, which has been just my husband and myself. We always have additional readings and talk about various themes of Passover (like freedom). When we are elsewhere, people always want to zip through the Haggadah and get it all over with. I guess since I've only been doing this with my husband for the last 3 years, it is still so novel and fun to me, and with all the preparation, I want to enjoy the Seder.
I am looking forward to hearing my son ask the four questions, and adding games and activities that will whet his appetite for Seders.

Rights group Amnesty International has urged authorities in Bosnia's Serbian entity, the Republika Srpska, to make reparations for victims of wartime rape.
Amnesty International's Lejla Hadzimesic said on November 1 her organization had asked Bosnian Serb officials to provide financial compensation for the victims as well as medical and psychological care.
The group said in a statement that the Bosnian Serb authorities have not made any meaningful attempts to address the needs of the victims.
Tens of thousands of women were raped during Bosnia's 1992-95 war between the country's Bosniaks (Muslims), Serbs, and Croats.

Eagle & Beagle, Jan. 13
Our top-performing stock has been cleaning up.
Tulsa-based Matrix Service Co. recently bought a privately owned industrial cleaning services firm in Louisiana with cash on hand. The size of the deal wasn't disclosed, but Matrix said it was less than $10 million.
That gives Matrix, which provides a variety of engineering, construction and maintenance services to energy and industrial markets, a fourth industrial cleaning facility to go along with existing ones in Tulsa, Kansas City and Baton Rouge, La.
Investors cleaned up a little last week, as MTRX shares jumped nearly 8 percent to close at $12.82.
The stock hasn't traded this high since last spring.
This week's beagle has bid farewell to a familiar face.
Bruce M. Bell retired as a director of Panhandle Oil & Gas at the end of last year. Panhandle CEO Michael C. Coffman said Bell, who joined the board in 2004 "will be missed."
Bruce, a banker and oilman, was one of the first people I interviewed after I joined The Oklahoman's business desk more than a decade ago. He has long been a patient, knowledgeable and frank source for our news stories.
But this isn't an obit — he just stepped off the board.
Meanwhile, PHX shares slipped 7 percent last week to close at $28.02.
I bet Bruce could give us a decent idea of why that happened.

.- The Anglican Communion seems one step closer to a schism this week, after bishops of the U.S. Episcopal Church rejected an ultimatum from the primates of the Anglican Communion to create a new pastoral initiative that would help address the ongoing disagreement in the Anglican Church.
At the end of their annual spring retreat, the bishops of the Episcopal Church issued a statement on Tuesday, stating that they decline to participate in the primates' demand for a new pastoral scheme that calls for the appointment of a primatial vicar and pastoral council. According to the London Times, this scheme would provide an enclave for those who cannot accept the leadership of a liberal bishop who had abandoned the Church's traditional stand on such things as homosexual "marriage," or actively homosexual clerics.
The Episcopal bishops said they could not accept the plan because it violated their Church law. As well, they questioned the "unprecedented shift of power toward the Primates," demonstrated by the plan.
Although they rejected the proposed pastoral plan, the U.S. bishops expressed their commitment "to continue working to find a way of meeting the pastoral concerns raised by the primates that are compatible with our own Church's polity and canons."
At their meeting in Dar es Salaam, the primates had set a Sept. 30 deadline for the pastoral scheme to be set up. They also demanded a commitment not to authorize same-sex blessings or consecrate any more homosexual bishops.
"We believe that there is an urgent need for us to meet face to face with the Archbishop of Canterbury and members of the primates' standing committee, and we hereby request and urge that such a meeting be negotiated . . . at the earliest possible opportunity," the U.S. bishops stated.
They invited the archbishop and members of the primates' standing committee for a three-day meeting to discuss these matters. They expressed their "strong desire to remain within the fellowship of the Anglican Communion."
