First Alarm Security Guards Profile and Stalk San Lorenzo Park Users
As a group of approximately one dozen Santa Cruz community members sat in the shade of a tree overlooking the San Lorenzo Park benchlands on the warm afternoon of June 19, a security guard from First Alarm stood nearby them watching every move they made. One of the community members subjected to the close and extended scrutiny said he was cited for being in possession of an open container that was not his, and he thought the initial contact with authorities was due to their perception he was still on probation, and that he would be violating his terms of release if caught doing something wrong. [Top photo: A security guard watches San Lorenzo Park users from approximately 30 feet away, using the pedestrian bridge as cover. Scroll down for more photos.]
The individual cited said he was not on probation and he was unknowingly sitting near the beer bottle when a security guard with First Alarm spotted it during one of several on-foot sweeps made directly through the group of park users that day. Those in the group said the bottle was nestled inside of a drink holder that masked its markings from plain view, and they thought it was left behind by someone not present at the time of the security guard's arrival. They said the First Alarm guard then called the Santa Cruz Police Department who arrived quickly and cited the individual, telling him that his proximity to the bottle indicated his 'possession' of it. After the police officer left, the First Alarm guard continued to watch the group carefully for an extended period of time, even though the area surrounding them appeared clean and devoid of anything resembling an alcohol container.
Those targeted by security in San Lorenzo Park that day said their free use of the area has been inhibited due to this type of profiling by First Alarm, where guards informally 'identify' individuals they perceive to be on probation, or more generally, individuals they perceive to be undesirable for a variety of other reasons.
They say that guards have developed a routine of walking directly through groups of park users identified as problematic. This is done multiple times during the day, and during the process their possessions are visually inspected at close range. First Alarm guards also stand and watch park users for long periods of time from nearby locations.
In addition to staring and sometimes glaring at them, individuals say the guard who was watching them that day has also previously attempted to intimidate their group by waving his metal baton/billy club at them, and by putting on his gloves in an exaggerated manner for no apparent reason.
When asked if another group of park users who were sitting in the benchlands area was also being closely watched by the security guards, they said yes, but the walk-throughs weren't as frequent.
At the same time the individual was being cited for the open container, across the banks of the San Lorenzo River along the levee trail, another First Alarm security guard (see photo) sat in a patrol vehicle watching a small group of people who were sitting under the shade of a tree on the retaining wall that lines River Street. As the guard sat watching this group, his patrol vehicle blocked a segment of the San Lorenzo Riverway trail, and bicyclists had to slow down and take care to maneuver around it safely.
Shortly before that, Santa Cruz Police Department Officer Hoppe (see photo) patrolling the San Lorenzo Riverway on a bicycle, told an African American man that the the area where he was sitting was, "not a sitting path." Officer Hoppe then told the individual to move off the paved portion of the trailway if he wanted to sit down. The man had been protruding approximately one or two feet onto the path when the officer encountered him, and as soon as Hoppe left, the man resumed sitting on the path.
There is no signage along the San Lorenzo Riverway trail that indicates sitting is not allowed on or near the path. On the contrary, a welcome sign that is posted at one of the entrances to the trail system states, "Prevent Erosion by Staying on the Path," though the sign is hard to read due to its physical condition.
Trail users may also remember the "Area Temporarily Closed" signs that lined the San Lorenzo Riverway for the better part of the last year that made it a citable offense to veer off of the trail past a certain point. Those signs were installed in July of 2012 every 50 feet or so along several miles of the river levee, making the shoreline and banks of the entire downtown length of the San Lorenzo River inaccessible for any reason until recently.
Most of the signs have been removed, and the only remaining "Area Temporarily Closed" signs are presently located along the levee trail near the rear of businesses located on Front Street.
Signs that say "Alcohol Prohibited" and "No Camping" are posted at several of the trail entrances and on some utility structures.
The practice of security guards positioning themselves close to groups of individuals to monitor park users' behavior closely and for extended periods of time has been in effect since as early as 2011.
More recently, San Lorenzo Park users have reported an increase in harassment by security guards, park rangers, and SCPD officers since the summer of 2012 when a period of intensive homeless sweeps were initiated by the SCPD and the City of Santa Cruz's Department of Parks and Recreation. The installation of "Area Temporarily Closed" signs every 50 feet along the river levee coincided with these sweeps.
Now that the signs are gone, park users have made a very visible return to their normal enjoyment of the banks of the river.
Note to readers:
I received the following email from an associate of mine who lives near the San Lorenzo River and walks the levee regularly, shortly after publishing the article, "City Installs 'Do Not Enter' Signs Around Entire Downtown Segment of San Lorenzo River" to Indybay in 2012 (see: https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2012/08/14/18719511.php)
The email read:
"On August 9th [of 2012], shortly after the vegetation clearing began and apparently shortly before the signs went up, I was threatened quite aggressively by a First Alarm agent while cautiously approaching a great blue heron below the levee. I appreciate his personal respect for wildlife, but if he thought that I was going to frighten the bird by crouching quietly, I wonder what effect he imagined that shouting commands at us would have... As I gaped up at him for a few moments, dumbstruck and disappointed (never having before been threatened for something so benign as birdwatching), he rapidly increased his hostility, shouting that he would momentarily call the SCPD, citing a municipal trespassing code. This was all in the course of about 10 seconds, and felt very unfriendly and unpleasant.
"When I approached to question him, he was fairly quick to revert to friendly conversation. Maybe because of my lack of hostility, maybe because my appearance is edge case drifter/yuppie. I asked about the willow clearing, and he assured me that the removal of such habitat has had a positive impact on the birds, by flushing out "the transients and their bongos." He claimed that the official purpose of this clearing was for irrigation reasons (??), but proudly revealed that the the true purpose was in fact to remove these undesirables. He then showed me his log-sheet, an intimidating grid of what must have been at least four or five dozen law citations, each with a tally box. He said he'd turn this in to the PD at the end of his shift. There were about a dozen tallies for the trespassing code, several for alcohol, and a few others scattered about the other codes. Several cyclists dismounted to navigate around the First Alarm truck, which he'd parked on the narrow underpass ramp. An older man walking his dog stopped to also express his dismay at the vegetation removal. I said goodbye and departed on the pavement. The heron was long gone."

San Lorenzo Park users say this guard glares at them and attempted to intimidate their group by waving his metal baton/billy club at them, and by putting on his gloves in an exaggerated manner for no apparent reason.
The individual in the black shirt says that he was sitting at this distance from the yellow drink container when he was unfairly cited for possession of an open container. He said that none of the belongings were his.
After noticing he was being photographed, the First Alarm guard attempted to watch the group of park users from a more 'discrete' location, but still kept turning away when the camera was pointed in his direction.
First Alarm guard continues to attempt to evade the camera as he meets with other guards.
This group was also the subject of close attention from First Alarm.

As usual, another informative look at an area other "alternative" publications studiously ignore or pass on police hand-outs on. Thanks, Alex.

Imagine if enforcement money was spent for regular rounds at, oh, let's say... the Planning Commission! With #MoreForensicAccountingPlease. Or... the Water Commission! How many millions of dollars might be saved? Or... Child Protective Services! Save children from the bureaucratic kidnappers. Or... Council Chambers. What crimes might be revealed? Or... the fusion center! Watch those watchers.
We may never know...

Ah the 'not mine' defense. So the author/citee would have us believe that someone had a beer in a coozy then got up and walked away from it. Subsequently this group unknowingly sat down near said beer bottle, apparently having no idea it was there. The FA guard was able to see the bottle that the entire group somehow missed, in spite of their close proximity, and that they apparently walked up to it.
I got tagged for open container in a car once. I tried the 'not mine' defense as well. Can't blame the guy for trying, but it's hardly a compelling story.
Monday Jun 24th, 2013 5:43 PM
Umm, that looks like an SCPD officer with a star on his chest and emblem on his shoulder. He probably doesn't want the sitter getting run over by a bike.
Wednesday Jun 26th, 2013 1:26 PM
thats why some have no sympathy for those security guards who want better wages and conditions like they reported on kpfa. we are supposed to support striking ''workers'' but not supposed to point out that ''security guards'' are notorious profilers. let that guard try to hurt someone, his causes should not be on kpfa news.

Expect to see in the news media some shocking revelations about Take Back Santa Cruz and their ties to the City of Santa Cruz. Essentially shadowy community groups, aided and abetted by local politicians, the SCPD and 1st Alarm are trying to take our city from us, starting with those they see as undesirable. I would call this thuggery which borders on neo-fascism.
This is a non-violent takeover of the political process, shutting out more compassionate minded citizens interested in a polite discourse. This is how totalitarianism creeps into power.
But federal intervention promises to upset the plans of these (political) thugs who have been personally profiting from their thuggery. Hopefully they will see the insides of a jail, which is where they belong. At the least the power structure of our small town will be broken and refashioned more democratically.

Thanks Alex for this important expression and the photos. There's one pic that shows the particular security guard kinda looking "up" to your camera. That's the same person I had to deal with, about the same dates, as best I recall.
I had been walking for miles by time I got to San Lorenzo Park that hot afternoon. Am disabled, so was already deeply into what -- for me -- is risky behavior. Hoping to drop my bones and check out the blister factor, then rest a bit too, before continuing on toward next appointment, downtown.
I have chemical allergies/environmental sensitivities, so it
profoundly matters what gets into my lungs or onto my skin.
And SL Park is one of the few "no car exhaust" places
available near downtown for sensitive folks to recover and
hopefully recharge our "batteries." I was not expecting a
taunting, provocative "welcome" from a cop-dressed security
Too bad for me! I was determined to duck into the shade under the footbridge, to cool down. This guy comes upon me like he's going to grab one of my 2 bags! But he just
looked into it. Then stared at me, leaning toward me. It was
a stand-off, except he was on feet and I was down in the
Time passed tensely (I felt the last thing I needed was added, gratuitous, stress)
Finally, I said, "What?" Then the still-nameless creep resumed a more upright stance. Gave me a dirty look, then walked away. If he hadn't been in the uniform I would have called the police, maybe should have anyway?
So it took a bit longer to relax and recover my momentum.
But I want to know who's paying for their bullying, and just
what are the objectives involved? If the guy was working for
SCPD thru some maneuver, I'd want to be informed. Because that's MY park, and I don't remember authorizing
anyone to make sure regular folks who'd usually be in the
park get intimidated by a mercenary thug? That is
everyone's park; we should ALL be free to know and enjoy
it. If there's some actual "criminal" concern to be dealt with, or some unshaded but real problem to solve, this ibully squad is not an acceptable solution.
OCCUPY our Parks!

I personally have run into and conflicted with the 'Authority' of these "Mercenary thugs" (as Linda put it well) on three occasions. It wouldn't be much of a bother if this was an occasional run in with some rent a cop at the majority of privately owned spaces, such as a mall or night club, but the reality is much more worrying. The supposedly 'democratic' governed state of Santa Cruz seems to be allowing its monopoly on authority to be "outsourced" to these Mercenaries. The 'First Alarm' private cops have no democratic legitimacy, the opinion of the public which they are hired to intimidate and oppress is outside the contract between them and their employer. Who is hiring these people, who is paying these thugs' paychecks? That is really a question we need to get some clarity on.
Either way - whether this epidemic is concretely paid for by the City and directed in coordination by Santa Cruz's corrupt police chiefs, or whether this frightening challenge to the existing liberal democratic Order is paid for directly by Santa Cruz's Owners (my hunch) - John articulates the current political developments and happenings we are all witness of, social cleansing and intimidation of down to earth people, very precisely as 'neo-fascism'. You can see the "First Alarm" trucks everywhere. Our supposedly 'democratic' government is giving away its Authority to private Autocrats, not just on a local level but also on a national level, as the Snowden revelations and wikileaks releases have shown.
What it comes down to is whether the working and humble People of our country and City will get together, organize and resist the ever increasing economic, social, psychological, emotional oppression continually inflicted on them, us. Personally, my run in with these Mercenary Thugs was very intimidating indeed; however, don't let them get to you! They are Fascists: they serve the opulent and privileged minority to oppress the weakest of our society. Slavery has no space in modern human society. But it is up to the majority of people, who are compassionate human beings, to unite and organize to make sure OUR solidarity and organization is stronger than THEIR money and thugs. In what way or form will have to be discussed further. If you are interested in changing things, and perhaps talk about building a political party movement capable of winning a few seats in the city council, drop me an email.
I suggest creating a petition to "Take Forward Santa Cruz" in contrast to "Take Back Santa Cruz".
Give people a roof over their head and they won't be bums sitting on your porch for dishonest people to create Hate against - FACT: There are 22 empty homes for every homeless person.
Make sure everyone has a good job, and a future to look forward to, and you will have decimated the bloody mess which is petty criminality so rampant in this time of capitalist economic crisis.

i got harassed off the park-side court steps on 12-15-2011 by one these cop wannabes and 2 other who knows what. it was around noon, so the curfew signs did not apply. i had no witnesses though, and who knows what lies they would have made up for court. one should pick your battles, so i left.
on the other hand, at peace camp 2010 some of them were very polite.
when the City hires them to protect public property, they become state actors, and the City is subject to lawsuits for their behavior, just like regular cops.
so file complaints with the City Clerk about any abuses they commit.
it is in the City's interest to get rid of any abusive rent-a-pig right away. unlike a government employed cop who is almost impossible to get rid of. the late Butch Baker molested 9 women yet still kept his job.
also the rent-a-pigs are much cheaper per hour and they don't get 90% pensions after 30 years like the cops do. so expect the City to expand their numbers while shrinking the regular cops' numbers. after all over 40% of SC's finest spend their time on homeless 'crime' like panhandling in the wrong spot or sitting down without a permit.
shite, we could deputize girl-scouts to deal with that kind of crime for the price of a few cookies.

When I first came to Santa Cruz County, the City of Santa Cruz still had Chuck Abbot's afterglow woven into the architecture and the human infrastructure downtown. The main street was Pacific Garden Mall, and everyone in town and in print talked about our "garden city."
Its very different now.
I really like that Girl Scout idea, tho' likely they'd have to be over age 18 for City officialdom to be making any formal suggestions? Maybe a DIY approach would save tons of time and money?
Do we have the capacity, collectively, to put together anything of great value, or cultural joy, that's not gonna just tumble into free-for-all? I'm partial toward the "pack your trash" folks, but there's times we can't all manage that at once, for example.
I'm thinking more of San Lorenzo Park than the City streets, and of doing something there and inviting the whole town to come on down, to join the play.
But we WOULD have to pay the girl shouts better! At least offer them some of those branded local premium-ingredients cookies (bakeries here - wait til the tourists discover the art of local baking...) like the ones Judge Gallagher was giving out each day to His Jurors at Ed and Gary's PC2010 trials.
I can't morally feed children that stuff they want to feed us, but hey how about an "Everybody's Park" Faire SOON in SLP?
I like that organizing invitation above, but am too tired or broken to stand up and be counted (on) just now. Hope for change in the weather...
I did learn heckuva LOT from being part of the Santa Cruz Union of the Homeless, years back. Real street heat balanced by adequate diversity of opinions and spending longer "meeting" times as needed. Incredible networking, no cell phones then, weekly illustrated calendars getting somehow all over downtown by foot!, "everyone meets at home plate 5 pm daily" polity.
It was all ages showing up for weekly meetings, and all levels of broken people and vital people. Shawn of Feed the People and a whole houseful of Food Not Bombs cooks came regularly. There was a poet and a daycare manager and a brilliant, award-winning illustration artist working daily for pie and sandwiches.
At first it was held in the closed hours of a hot dog/snack stand between downtown City of SC and the Beach (now a civic parking lot - I read its about to get a 24-hr potty?). I often felt Kim was the brains and the heart for many of us. It was one of those 'golden year' cycles, when there were a number of capable legal researchers, passing on their gleanings. There were Copwatch Tables along Pacific Avenue, including in front of sponsor Zachary's, the union of homeless folks underwrote reams of copied information sheets for those tablers. And I remember Robert Flory and Wonton Dave especially as skeptical allies, and Lotus and her coffee.
Memory Lane ... but back to intentions, why not invite the older girl scouts, (n boy scouts), ucsc folks who want to meet new people, others, to bring their game(s) to San Lorenzo Park, turn this turf polarity into a picnic with music and summertime fun. Music. What else?
Would love to see what the kids in their 20s are sharing, personally, and to feel more outdoor culture. Maybe the time for a healing along the riverbanks?

The First Alarm Security guards and various fringe groups manned by Take Back Santa Cruz (TBSC) vigilantes — like the ones harassing RV dwellers and taking videos of Homeless Services Center clients — accomplished step #3 of the blueprint for shutting down a democracy as described by Naomi Wolf.
Read this article:
To quote:
"3. Develop a thug caste
When leaders who seek what I call a "fascist shift" want to close down an open society, they send paramilitary groups of scary young men out to terrorise citizens. The Blackshirts roamed the Italian countryside beating up communists; the Brownshirts staged violent rallies throughout Germany. This paramilitary force is especially important in a democracy: you need citizens to fear thug violence and so you need thugs who are free from prosecution.
The years following 9/11 have proved a bonanza for America's security contractors, with the Bush administration outsourcing areas of work that traditionally fell to the US military. In the process, contracts worth hundreds of millions of dollars have been issued for security work by mercenaries at home and abroad. In Iraq, some of these contract operatives have been accused of involvement in torturing prisoners, harassing journalists and firing on Iraqi civilians. Under Order 17, issued to regulate contractors in Iraq by the one-time US administrator in Baghdad, Paul Bremer, these contractors are immune from prosecution
Yes, but that is in Iraq, you could argue; however, after Hurricane Katrina, the Department of Homeland Security hired and deployed hundreds of armed private security guards in New Orleans. The investigative journalist Jeremy Scahill interviewed one unnamed guard who reported having fired on unarmed civilians in the city. It was a natural disaster that underlay that episode - but the administration's endless war on terror means ongoing scope for what are in effect privately contracted armies to take on crisis and emergency management at home in US cities.
Thugs in America? Groups of angry young Republican men, dressed in identical shirts and trousers, menaced poll workers counting the votes in Florida in 2000. If you are reading history, you can imagine that there can be a need for "public order" on the next election day. Say there are protests, or a threat, on the day of an election; history would not rule out the presence of a private security firm at a polling station "to restore public order"."
Does this sound familiar to readers? It should! Be warned, a coup is currently being executed by rightwing politicians led by Mayor Lynn Robinson, pushed by TBSC and bankrolled by rich locals like the Locatelli family which owns New Leaf markets.
What scares me the most and should scare the hell out of you is that this coup is farther along than any of us could have imagined. Immediate action with a counter push by democracy activists is fundamental to saving our community from being completely taken over and remolded in Lynn Robinson's and TBSC's perverse fantasy image. We don't have much time left.
I feel like a Santa Cruz version of Paul Revere. Will compassionate citizens wake up in time?

Your Tax Dollars at Work at GSA's "Lavish Conferfence"
Taxpayers for Common Sense (TCS) has a nice and short summary of the "lavish conference spending" by the General Services Administration (GSA). For the gory details, TCS includes links to a Washington Post story, the GSA OIG report, and both CBS and NBC news reports. Here is TCS's summary:
"The media has been awash with reports on the more than $800,000 Las Vegas, NV conference the Western Regions of the General Services Agency (GSA) threw for themselves in 2010. Justifiably so.
"While the rest of the country was mired in a recession and Americans were struggling to make ends meet, GSA leadership from the Western Regions cooked up this outrageous internal meeting. To prepare for the conference, which a senior GSA official specifically directed to be "over the top," staff made eight separate planning visits which cost taxpayers more than $130,000. They had a mind reader, a magician, and even an employee dressed up in a rented clown costume. A team-building exercise – building 24 bikes – cost $75,000. But it wasn't just the excesses; GSA staff shared competitor bid information to ensure that the "right" hotel got the contract, and negotiations to get the government rate at the hotel guaranteed $41,000 in additional catering charges. You can't make this stuff up."The Inspector General's report mentions that some employees tried to rein in costs and were rebuffed. And at least one GSA employee complained to the Deputy Administrator of the GSA, who forwarded the complaint on to the IG's office. The IG thoroughly investigated, and some heads ended up rolling at the agency. So in one sense the process worked, and as budget watchdogs we count on the IG offices, but it's hard to fathom what these people were thinking as they prepared the conference. Perhaps that mind reader can tell us."
Lavish spending for conferences. More highly compensated, on average, than private sector workers. Heh, no wonder a recent Rasmussen Reports (TM) poll found:
"A majority of adults nationwide continues to believe that those who work for the government have it easier than those in the private sector and get paid more for it.
"Sixty-six percent (66%) of American Adults believe private sector workers work harder than government workers, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey. Just eight percent (8%) say government employees are the harder workers, but another 25% are undecided."
More government. Just what is needed, right? Not! The OIG report even went so far as to say:
"The evidence the OIG developed, however, showed the goal was not to minimize costs, but to be 'over the top.'" (emphasis added)
UPDATE (4/14/12): At Washington Free Beacon, C.J. Ciaramella reports the administration knew about the scandal and that the "official responsible received only 'slap on the wrist,' and added:
"The General Services Administration official responsible for the agency's lavish 2010 conference at a Las Vegas resort received only "a slap on the wrist" after agency administrators became aware of the wasteful spending, according to an internal GSA email released by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Friday.
"The email, dated July 8, 2011, is from GSA Deputy Administrator Susan Brita to agency officials. In the email, Brita raised concerns that the agency's lax discipline against Jeff Neely—who managed the now-infamous Vegas conference that featured mind readers and clowns—would look bad when facts of the conference were released to the public.
"Neely only received a disciplinary letter after GSA administrators first became aware of an impending inspector general report on the conference that cost taxpayers more than $800,000."
UPDATE (4/15/12): The editorial in tomorrow's Washington Examiner points out the "GSA 'jackasses' (are) not alone in fleecing taxpayers."
UPDATE (4/15/12): Thanks to a friend who just e-mailed me this link to a Politico story that begins, "The General Services Administration official tasked with organizing a now-infamous $822,000 Las Vegas conference plans to invoke his Fifth Amendment rights ahead of a scheduled Monday grilling on the Hill." He snarkily commented, "I thought this option was reserved only for Mafia bosses and corrupt union thugs......"
UDATE (4/17/12): Today, the Washington Free Beacon reports, "Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid encouraged the federal government to allow taxpayer-funded trips to "resort towns" like Las Vegas," and cites a Roll Call story.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) A federal judge says Franklin County officials are not responsible for the actions of two guards who fed a prisoner a bologna sandwich that had been rubbed against another inmate's genitals.
U.S. District Court Judge Gregory Frost has ruled the county, its commissioners and its late sheriff did not foster a culture of rule-breaking that encouraged the deputies to act out of line.
Court documents say two deputies were handing out bologna sandwiches in 2009 when they made an inmate put his genitals on one while they took a picture with a cell phone. They fed the sandwich to another inmate and showed him the picture.
Both deputies were fired.
One deputy pleaded guilty to health code violations. His attorney called the incident a "prank."
The other deputy wasn't charged.

This is a travesty. The commissioners and the sheriff should be in full control of their jail. They should be liable for millions in punitive damages and the two deputies should now be unemployed.

Religion of Saturday, 29 December 2012
Source: GNA
The Accra Archdiocese of the Catholic Church on Saturday held a carnival in Accra as part of activities marking its 120th anniversary.
The carnival involved brass band music provided by Ghana National Fire Service Band and cultural performances by a number of ethnic groups across the nation.
The anniversary on the theme: "120 years of Catholic Mission: Honouring the Past, Celebrating the Present, Building the Future," begun on December 2, would be climax on November 24, 2013.
Archbishop Gabriel Charles Palmer-Buckle, Catholic Archbishop of Accra said he was very happy to be part of the celebration.
"I thank you all for coming and I ask God's blessings for you. This shows we are one holy apostolic church even though we are all from different cultural backgrounds in this world," he said.
The Very Reverend Father Francis Adoboli, Vicar General and Chairman of the Accra Archdiocesan Implementation Committee, urged the congregants to have fun and to enjoy themselves.
The Accra Archdiocese was started by Rev Fathers Otoo Hilberer and Eugene Raes of the Society of African Mission (SMA) on January 31, 1893 during the first mass.
Unfortunately Rev Fr Hilberer and Rev Fr Raes died soon after due to tropical illness.This the Accra Mission without a pastor.
For a long time, the Catholic Community in Accra was left in the hands of a lay Church Committee identified as Mr Brown, Mr Andoh, Mr Yankah and others until 1924 when Rev Fr Joseph Stauffer was posted to Accra.
He purchased an old cocoa shed situated on the Derby Avenue, which later became the Sacred Heart Catholic Mission, the premier church and parish of Accra.

AN event in support of families with children living with a disability or learning difficulty is being held to help them make the best choices when it comes to where they go after school.
Worcestershire County Council's Young Adults Team is supporting the event, Life Beyond School, which is taking place on Thursday, May 15, at Regency High School, Windermere Drive, Warndon, Worcester, from 2pm to 6pm.
The events are being run by local special school and will be attended by a broad range of local training providers, support networks, employers, colleges and voluntary services.
Councillor Liz Eyre, Worcestershire County Council's cabinet member for children and families, said: "When young people are due to leave school and decide on their future options, this can be a difficult time for them and their families or carers, especially when they have disabilities or learning disabilities.
"That is why we are supporting these events which will provide a wealth of useful information for parents and carers so they can decide on the best future possible for young people as they prepare to leave school.
"These events also provide an opportunity for people providing such services to showcase what they offer and also for carers and parents to drop in and find out more."

Wearing a Moschino jacket, a vintage dress, Prada paillette slingbacks, American Apparel purple tights, and Gerard Yosca jewelry.
So today I stopped by the new Miu Miu store on 57th Street, to visit Justin, who's been busy for the past month helping set up the unbelievable space, and to look at all the fine goods that the people of Prada have to offer. First off, everyone should know that almost all Fall 08 merchandise is on sale now for 40-50% off, including handbags. The entire top floor is full of great merchandise, including luxurious leather puffer jackets, sequined cage dresses, and plaid bloomer shorts. I'm crossing my fingers that it will go down a little more, and that maybe I will get a chance to pick up a bag. In the meantime though, I just spent a lot of money on a Marc Jacobs coat (the store is 70% off, but more about that later), so I have to be a little more thrifty.
While I was there, I also got to take a look at the super hot jewel-toned Resort collection that Christina scanned in a couple of days ago, and even got to go into the back room and get a preview of Spring 09 (scans of the lookbook are on the way!). Anyway, since I can't have any Miu Miu right now, I opted to wear something with a similar color palette, along with a pair of my Prada paillette heels.

The first symptom she experienced was a loss of energy. Before long, she began feeling a shortness of breath. "I was close to passing out," Elizabeth Schwaab recalled.
She knew something was terribly wrong.
Elizabeth had two large blood clots in her lungs, which were affecting her heart's ability to pump blood, and her ability to breathe. This situation, called a pulmonary embolism, is very serious, and often fatal if not caught and treated very quickly.
Elizabeth was rushed to Adventist HealthCare Shady Grove Medical Center where it was promptly determined that she would require a procedure called a pulmonary embolectomy, where a catheter is inserted through the heart and into the lungs to remove clots. Shady Grove is one of very few hospitals in the area where this procedure is performed. Several specialists and service lines were involved in her care, including physicians in the intensive care unit, the catheterization lab, and vascular specialists. "A tremendous coordination of effort is required in a case like this," said Dr. Jeffrey Wang, the vascular surgeon who performed the procedure on Elizabeth.
Adventist HealthCare Shady Grove Medical Center is recognized for its commitment to high level patient care and quality testing for the diagnosis of vascular disease, providing comprehensive diagnostic, interventional, and surgical vascular services. The vascular services team works closely with internists, radiologists, general surgeons, plastic surgeons, podiatrists, cardiologists, pulmonary doctors and others to diagnose and treat a variety of cases.
Elizabeth credits her full recovery to a dedicated team, which included Dr. Wang and internist Dr. Brian Carpenter, among others, who worked seamlessly together to save her life.
Do you have a story that you would like to share with us? Sharing your experience at Adventist HealthCare Shady Grove Medical Center will inspire others and help us to recognize the efforts of those who made a difference in your life!

Acerca del creador
I date my photography from 1967 when I took a summer course at the University of Nebraska. Cameras have been with me ever since, regardless of the job, sometimes fully in photography or using photography. Ballroom dancing, starting in 1994 brought me into dance photography until today almost all my photography is dance. I shoot either stills or video of a number of dance companies in the KC area and (since 1997) keep a calendar of events, lessons, dances, concerts on my KCDance.com website. KCDance also (no surprise) has extensive pictures of dance in KC as well as data on dance companies, studios, instructors and more, offering a free database where dancers/studios may enter their own calendar information.

AFC Wimbledon midfielder Stacy Long is facing two weeks on the sidelines after picking up a foot injury in the 1-0 League Two win at Wycombe Wanderers on Saturday.
However, it could have been a lot worse as caretaker manager Simon Bassey was fearful that the former Stevenage Borough man had broken his metatarsal.
An x-ray on Monday afternoon confirmed there was no break but heavy swelling and bruising means Long is likely to be out for a fortnight.
On Tuesday Bassey said: "Stacy took a knock to the foot against Wycombe. We were concerned about it although Stacy said he'd broken his metatarsal before and that this time round it felt different and so he wasn't certain it was a break.
"The physio suspected a crack in the bone, but the x-ray gave us good news, although the bad news is there is a lot of swelling. It has gone down since the weekend but I would imagine Stacy will be out for up to two weeks. We just have to wait and see how it heals."
Long is likely to miss the League Two home match against Accrington Stanley, while Bassey is hopeful Pim Balkestein will return from injury.
Christian Jolley, sent off against Torquay United, returns after serving a one-match suspension.

The National Football League is pulling the plug on elaborate, customized face masks that several prominent NFL defensive players had planned to wear this season.
In an email to the Associated Press, NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said that the customized mask that Indianapolis Colts linebacker Robert Mathis had been wearing during training camp would not be approved for use during games.
The only exception the league makes for the use of customized face masks is for medical reasons. Mathis confirmed the ruling on his Twitter page.
its official.... the league says i cant wear my facemask. I will return to my run of the mill grill.
— ROBERT MATHIS The1st (@RobertMathis98) August 9, 2013
In addition to Mathis, Arizona Cardinals defensive tackle Darnell Dockett had planned to wear a customized mask, which he unveiled at his team's FanFest in June. Dockett's mask had six horizontal bars and one vertical in the middle that divides a whopping 18 diagonal bars, nine on each side of the vertical bar. The model, which was created by Bad-Ass Masks, was called the "Freight Train".
New York Giants defensive end Justin Tuck began wearing a mask with 12 diagonal bars and five horizontal bars last summer. Tuck began wearing that mask to prevent offensive linemen from grabbing his mask and aggravating a neck strain. With Tuck dealing with a back issue during training camp, so perhaps he'll be successful in his attempt to wear it again this season.

Recently, I've tried various products from some 'budget' brands, swapping my usual purchases for some of these low-cost alternatives to try and save some money.
This review will outline my experiences of trying the Daisy Lilac Fabric Conditioner, available from Tesco.
I paid £1 for the 1 litre bottle of Conditioner, which I thought was very reasonable.
The bottle is made of clear plastic and its lid is made of robust plastic and doubles as a 'measuring cup' allowing for easy measuring of the required dose of liquid for each wash.
There are ample dosage instructions provided on the label on the bottle's reverse, and I find these easy to follow. In actual fact, I am often quite lazy where such matters are concerned and there have been countless occasions where I have just poured a healthy 'slug' from the bottle straight into the washing machine's drawer which works just as well.
The Daisy Liquid has a pleasant fragrance, and I do think that it is quite strong at first. The aroma smells faintly floral but isn't particularly old-fashioned or dated. Instead, the fragrance is surprisingly refreshing.
The scent changes slightly once the wet laundry is removed from the machine; the underlying refreshing 'edge' that the scent carried is more noticeable now, and the floral tone within it has become more subdued. I do find that the laundry smells lovely and fresh as it is being hung up, and although I find that the scent is rather 'feminine' in its fragrance, I don't feel that it is as flowery as some of the other Conditioners that I've tried from rival brands; some of these were too much for my tastes.
The laundry feels lovely and soft once washed with the Daisy Conditioner, and bedding in particular feels wonderfully refreshed. I do like how I can detect a whiff of the Daisy liquid's pleasant fragrance on the fresh bedding as I slip beneath the sheets, but I have to admit that I am pleased that the fragrance feels significantly less 'intrusive' than some other liquids that I've bought before.
I've noticed too that tops and clothing don't tend to 'whisper' the Daisy liquid's scent over and over whilst being worn, which is definitely my preference when using a product like this.
In addition, I often find that the scents of such products are quite sweet, and I really don't like this; it can often induce a headache if it becomes too much.
I have found that the Daisy Conditioner works well and it is cheaper than my previous brand. Also, it seems to work just as well in terms of caring for my linen and laundry, but it does so with a more subtle fragrance than many other brands that I purchase regularly.
I have suffered no irritation to my sensitive skin throughout the time the Daisy product has been used.
Based on these results, I do think I would buy the product again and feel it is a worthwhile purchase.
I am willing to try the cheaper brands of products however I do prefer the premium brands of fabric conditioner but am only willing to buy it when it is on offer, a few months ago whilst in Tesco I found that none of the better brands were on offer and so bought this one of Tesco's own.
The product is part of the Daisy range which as far as I am aware is only available from Tesco, you can buy the product instore or online and it costs around a pound for a litre bottle which is great value.
The product comes in a see through bottle with a screw top lid on it, the lid is lilac in colour and the product inside the bottle is also lilac which to me is really pretty as it is a colour I love although sitting under my sink it doesn't exactly matter what colour it is. On the front of the bottle there is a label with a daisy pictured and the name of the product and then on the back of the bottle you get the usual warnings such as keeping away from children and then the directions for using the product.
To use the product simply untwist the top and then pour the liquid into the top to get the correct dose for your wash, the product smells really flowery and you need to control your pouring well as it is really runny which means it can very easily end up pouring over the top. Once my washing was washed and dried I found that the majority of my washing felt soft however thicker items such as towels were left pretty rough. The scent of the product can be smelt when getting the washing out of the machine and can be lightly smelt whilst the clothing dries but I can't really detect it when wearing the clothes or opening the cupboard.
I would say this is a pretty average product as it's a good price and it leaves the majority of the wash soft but personally I want a product with a better strength of scent and I want all my washing to feel soft.
Daisy Fabric Conditioner, is in essence not a Tesco Value product, but a tesco own brand product, the difference being that Tesco are trying to brand this as a quality product whereas with the value range, they are sold specifically on how cheap they are.
At 99p for 1 litre, I think we are going to buy a bit more of this, as Comfort has always been our preferred brand but some of the range comes in at nearly double the price for a similar product.
In terms of the product, the packaging is fine and stands comparison with it's competitors, the bottle i plastic and small enough to be poured with one hand, the packaging is functional but has details of ingredients a simple Daisy wording and design and instructions for how much to use with different fabrics (30ml large cotton load, 20ml large mixed load, 15ml synthetics).
The smell of the product is a little bit manufactured it smells of flowers in the way air fresheners do, but this is fine, for 99p I want something that gives my clothes a fresh smell rather than a product sourced from the untouched soils of Borneo.
The lid is easy to open, we do keep it high up as our little one might just be able to open this if left with it for long enough in the kitchen, the lid can also be used as a measuring tool to pour the liquid in correct measures into your washing machine.
In terms of using the product that is pretty much all you need to know, after using clothes have a fresh smell which is not unpleasant, it isn't amazing but they smell clean and as though they have had a good wash which is great. The conditioner has also done a good job of keeping things soft and fluffy and I haven't noticed a jot of different from when we used to use comfort. I don't feel as though we've downgraded rather we've found a similar product for less money.
I will continue using Daisy and have no issue with it, it's good value, looks nice, the smell is nice enough, it hasn't changed my world and you'll notice the superlatives are functional rather than effusive, but it does exactly what I want it to and I am happy with that.
I've started using smelly laundry products now my daughter is a little older. When she was a baby I stuck to Fairy powder and Comfort Pure fabric conditioner, now she's older I've started using the smelly products again. One thing I've tried is this lilac Daisy fabric conditioner.
As it's a Daisy product, I think it's only available to buy from Tesco either in store or online, whatever way you do your shopping. A 1 litre bottle of this will cost you just 99p.
The concentrated fabric conditioner comes inside a transparent plastic bottle so you can see the fabric conditioner inside. The front of the bottle has a sticker which features the product name, the back label gives us information on how to use it and all the normal warnings you get with these types of products. The bottle features a purple twist off cap which is also the measurer to measure how much fabric conditioner to use.
After opening the bottle you are met with quite a strong fragrance. Although the bottle describes the scent as being lilac, I think it just has a generic floral scent to it with no hint of anything else. One cap full should be used for a full load, however I usually just guess and tip it straight into my washing machine drawer. The consistency of the concentrated fabric conditioner is slightly runnier than I was expecting, in the bottle it looks quite thick, but it is slightly watery as you pour it in.
I tend to use fabric conditioner with every wash I do, making sure I use more for my towel wash as I like these to come out soft and fluffy. I wouldn't say the results of using this Daisy concentrated fabric conditioner are any good. They leave clothes feeling slightly soft and the results on my towels aren't as good as I would have liked. The floral scent seems to last until the washing has dried and been put away but then it just seems to disappear, I like to smell the lovely fragrances when taking clothes out of my wardrobe, but this one definitely doesn't stay.
For the price, I suppose the lilac Daisy concentrated fabric conditioner isn't too bad. It's not one I would use again as the smell doesn't stick around as long as I would like, and towels aren't left as soft as other fabric conditioners. If you are looking for a cheap fabric conditioner I would suggest giving it a try to see how you get on.
I'm never brand loyal when shopping for cleaning products and more often than not I buy whatever happens to be on offer at that time. On my last shopping trip I needed a new fabric softener and the cheapest was Daisy Concentrated Fabric Conditioner, I have tried a few things in this range and have been pleased with most of them so I bought the Daisy concentrated fabric conditioner in the lilac fragrance.
The fabric conditioner comes in a clear plastic bottle allowing you to see the lilac coloured liquid inside, it has a lilac screw top lid which doubles up as a measuring cap. The bottle has a purple coloured curvy label on the front which shows the Daisy logo in red along with the picture of a daisy and the fragrance which is as I mentioned lilac, , the label also informs the customer that this is "concentrated fabric conditioner and this 1 litre bottle will give you enough conditioner to do on average 50 hand washes".
The back of the bottle also has a label which gives all the relevant information you would need for a product like this such as product information, directions for use, and warnings. All of these are standard for this type of product and are clear and easy to read for those who wish to.
The actual conditioner is the same consistence as the branded fabric softeners, sometimes cheap ones, Tesco Everyday Value for instance, can be more watery but this one isn't. In the bottle the softener smells quite strong, very floral and sweet but in my opinion not obviously lilac, however it does smell very nice.
To use the daisy concentrated fabric conditioner I usually pour 1 capful directly into the washing machine drawer, if I'm doing a smaller wash which isn't often I add half a capful.
I've used half of my bottle now and so far the results have been quite good, my laundry smells clean and fresh and does have a slight floral fragrance to it. My towels and bed linen are soft although not as soft as they are when I use a branded conditioner. There's been times when I've had to dry my laundry inside since I've been using this and the smell is pleasant, its not overpowering and doesn't give me a headache like some of the stronger ones do.
Where this fabric conditioner falls down is lasting freshness, once the washing has been ironed and put away the smell has gone, my washing smells clean and fresh but there's no lovely floral fragrance to it which is a shame because I like getting clean bed linen or towels out and getting a nice burst of fragrances.
All in all this isn't a bad product, at just 99p for a 1L bottle its not bad value however the fragrance just doesn't last.

When Masturbation's Lost Its Fun: Billie Joe Armstrong to Join 'The Voice'...
Okay, so we finally found the point where you are absolutely, inarguably and irrevocably not punk anymore. Full story at the Wall Street Journal:
The competition between the various singing competitions may be better than the actual singing on the shows themselves. Last night it was announced that Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong would be joining "The Voice." The Grammy-winning punk rocker, the force behind such albums as "Dookie" and "American Idiot," will serve as a mentor assisting Christina Aguilera's team.

Friday is New Years Eve! Can you believe it? Have you made plans yet? I hope you're not going to sit on the couch with a Coors Light dwelling on all the bad decisions you made this year. You did that last year. I think that this year you should get out of the house and go see some killer live music and forget everything. Why not ring in this New Year with style? You deserve it. It doesn't matter if you're in Paducah, Kentucky or Olympia, Washington, we here at Brown Paper Tickets got a whole slew of killer shows to choose from. Here's three good ones that caught my eye that are, miraculously, not sold out yet.
A New Year's Eve PsychoSouthern Jamboree with The Legendary Shack Shakers Paducah, KY
Where's Paducah you ask? Well, Paducah is halfway between St. Louis and Nashville and they have a killer bill going on at the
Paducha-McCraken County Convention Center Ballroom
featuring one of the hottest live bands out of the South,
The Legendary Shack Shakers
. If you've never seen the Shakers, you are missing out. News of the World called them "The maddest, baddest, most outrageous band in America...a rockabilly version of the Sex Pistols." J.D. Wilkes is one of the craziest front-men out there. Imagine a hillbilly Iggy Pop and you're getting close. Robert Plant had the band open for him back in 2005 and is an avid fan....Robert freakin' Plant! Not only that, Duane Denison of the mighty Jesus Lizard is their guitarist. Need I say more? I thought not. If you're in Nashville or St. Louis, do not miss this show, but be sure to get a hotel room 'cause I envision some heavy drinking will be happening in Paducha this New Years.
The Sonics at the Capitol Theater Olympia, WA
Keeping it on the raunchy rock n' roll tip, 60's garage rock legends
The Sonics
are making a rare appearance on New Years Eve at the
Capitol Theater
in Olympia, Washington. These guys influenced everyone from The Cramps to Mudhoney to the White Stripes and if you're from the Pacific Northwest you know that these guys were the original "grunge" band. Just listen to "The Witch" and try to tell me that they weren't playing punk rock a good 20 years before the Ramones. Now in their 70's, they're still rockin' hard and have just released a
new EP produced by legendary Sub Pop producer Jack Endino
. They've been touring throughout the U.S. and Europe but have only played one reunion show in their home region since getting back together and that was way back in 2008! Tickets are going fast for this so get your tickets now before their gone and you can say you spent New Years with real live rock legends.
Kermit Ruffin's New Year's Eve Party New Orleans, LA
No one defines the sound and vibe of New Orleans more than trumpet player
Kermit Ruffins
. He channels the spirit of Louis Armstrong but add his own fun-loving, modern hipster vibe to everything he does. You may have seen him in HBO's hit series
or in front of one of his gigs grilling up some BBQ and drinking a Bud Light. Kermit is a fixture in the New Orleans jazz scene and often sits in with friends around town. I mean this guys eats and sleeps New Orleans music. He says, "The most important thing is how much I love the music. From the time I wake up in the morning, I'm just hyped for the gig late at night."
It's definitely rare to see that level of enthusiasm coming from a working musician and if you're in the Big Easy, you'd be doing yourself a favor by going down to the
Blue Nile
and getting a taste of what Kermit's got cookin'! Get your tickets now 'cause they'll be gone by Friday.
Don't worry, if music's not your thing there's a ton of events to choose from to keep you entertained this New Years. Just click on the

What's your toddler's personality type?
Knowing this could impact your parenting style more than you realise. more
Everyone knows someone who's shy - they blush when spoken to, they avoid being the focus of your attention, they're often softly spoken and very understated. They'll never make a fuss and they're often overlooked.
While many children go through a phase of experiencing shyness, particularly when they're in a new situation, there are those who are born shy and will always be shy - it's just part of their temperament. If you are a parent of a shy child, you will have to teach her ways to manage it so that she doesn't miss out on opportunities as a result of her shyness.
Shyness is extremely common in children - as many as 20% of children are shy. It's an emotion that creates feelings of self-consciousness, embarrassment, nervousness and anxiety in the sufferer and it effects how she engages with those around her. In small children, shyness often expresses itself in an unusual clinginess and a resistance to flying solo in a social setting.
Shy children can often be seen on the periphery of a group of their peers, wanting to be included but unwilling to break into the group and become the focus of attention.

Early Election All About the Banks' Case
Rt Hon Winston Peters
New Zealand First
Early Election All About the Banks' Case
The Prime Minister's decision to throw New Zealand into an early election was all about the John Banks' court case – John Key was scared of today's verdict, says New Zealand First.
"John Key hoodwinked New Zealand into believing he had sound reasons for calling an early election, but in reality he was manipulating democracy," says New Zealand First Leader Rt Hon Winston Peters.
"He was highly suspicious of the outcome of the Banks' trial and that Mr Banks would have to step down if found guilty.
"He refused to read the police report, or answer questions satisfactorily about it, and this decision has found the Prime Minister out," says Mr Peters.

Washington, Sept 21 (ANI): After almost 9 years in space, communication problems has led scientist to reluctantly pronounce the end of NASA's Deep Space Comet Hunter Mission.
NASA's Deep Impact mission approximately sent 500,000 images of celestial objects.
The project team at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, Calif., has reluctantly pronounced the mission at an end after being unable to communicate with the spacecraft for over a month.
The last communication with the probe was Aug. 8. Deep Impact was history's most traveled comet research mission, going about 4.7 billion miles (7.58 billion kilometers).
Deep Impact successfully completed its original bold mission of six months in 2005 to investigate both the surface and interior composition of a comet, and a subsequent extended mission of another comet flyby and observations of planets around other stars that lasted from July 2007 to December 2010.
Since then, the spacecraft has been continually used as a space-borne planetary observatory to capture images and other scientific data on several targets of opportunity with its telescopes and instrumentation. aunched in January 2005, the spacecraft first travelled about 268 million miles (431 million kilometers) to the vicinity of comet Tempel 1.

VIRGINIA WATER, England (Reuters) - Sergio Garcia said "sorry" 11 times and used the word "apology" on five occasions as he spoke of his regret at causing a furor by making a "fried chicken" jibe at world number one Tiger Woods.
Spaniard Garcia told reporters on Wednesday that his comment, made at the European Tour Player of the Year awards the night before, was "stupid and out of place" and said he regretted it the moment he made it.
Fourteen-times major winner Woods, whose relationship with the Spaniard is frosty at best, was in unforgiving mood earlier in the day.
"The comment that was made wasn't silly. It was wrong, hurtful and clearly inappropriate," the American said on his Twitter account.
Garcia's remark came when he was asked on stage whether he would be inviting Woods for dinner during next month's U.S. Open in Pennsylvania.
"We will have him round every night," said the world number 14. "We will serve fried chicken."
Fried chicken has become a racial stereotype in the United States when referring to African-Americans - a reference to the days before the abolition of slavery when chicken was believed to be a staple part of the diet.
Garcia moved quickly to explain his remark, at first issuing an apology through the European Tour.
The 33-year-old Spaniard then took part in a hastily-arranged news conference on the eve of the PGA Championship at Wentworth to underline his regret.
"I want to send an apology," said Garcia. "I didn't want to offend anyone...I was caught off-guard by the question.
"I answered a question that was clearly made towards me as a joke with a silly remark but in no way was the comment meant in a racist manner. I understand my answer was totally stupid and out of place and...I can't say sorry enough about that.
"I'd also like to say sorry to the European Tour and to my Ryder Cup team mates for taking the shine away from what was a wonderful dinner that we all thoroughly enjoyed until that moment," said Garcia.
"Finally, and most importantly, I want to apologize to Tiger. I feel sick about it, I'm truly, truly sorry and hope we can kind of settle things down and move on."
Garcia and Woods fell out this month after an incident at the Players Championship in Florida.
The Spaniard blamed a roar from the crowd watching Woods for an errant shot when the two men featured in the same group.
The gallery erupted during Garcia's backswing upon seeing the world number one reach for his five-wood for a daring escape from a tee shot that finished deep into the trees.
The pair subsequently made clear they have never been the best of friends but Garcia said that he had already tried to contact Woods in a bid to make amends for his "fried chicken" remark.
"I don't have Tiger's phone number but I have called his manager," the Spaniard said. "He didn't pick up but I left a message and told him I was very sorry and I would love to talk to them as soon as possible to make sure everything is okay.
"I told him how sorry I am and that obviously it was a bad comment that shouldn't have been said."
Asked if the incident could somehow bring the two men closer, Garcia replied: "I hope so.
"I'm terribly sorry about what happened and I'm sure we'll be able to talk soon and I will apologize face to face, move forward and forget the whole thing."
Garcia said he had a sleepless night on Tuesday and contemplated pulling out of the Wentworth event.
"My mind is not in the greatest place at the moment but I feel like the tournament deserves to have me," he added. "I now want to go out there tomorrow and give it everything I have."
Garcia spoke to European Tour chief George O'Grady and his U.S. PGA Tour counterpart Tim Finchem at the awards dinner.
"They were very good about it," he said. "They were both fine about it.
"I'm very thankful they were there to help me and be behind me. They both accepted my apology," said Garcia before adding that neither men had mentioned there would be any form of punishment for his comment.
Garcia's remarks echoed those made by former U.S. Masters winner Fuzzy Zoeller in 1997 when he joked with reporters to tell Woods not to ask for "fried chicken or collard greens or whatever the hell they serve" at the next year's Champions dinner.
Zoeller was subsequently dropped by two sponsors.

Broadcom has combined its wireless LAN (WLAN) silicon, switch silicon and networking software to support enterprise wireless networks based on the latest version of Wi-Fi. The eventual result should be reliable wireless network equipment that service providers can offer to install and support for commercial customers.
The combination constitutes what Broadcom warrants as a complete platform for OEMs to create a unified wireless network solution. The 802.11n standard provides greater mobility and more robust connections than previous Wi-Fi versions, which is expected to make Wi-Fi more acceptable in the enterprise market.
Most enterprise wireless networks in existence today have been grafted onto an existing wired network using an overlay approach in which all WLAN traffic is tunneled to a centralized access controller, where it is de-encapsulated and authenticated before entering the wired network. While this approach is workable for 802.11a/b/g networks, Broadcom explained, it creates bottlenecks in higher bandwidth 802.11n networks because it treats wireless as a special service running over the network rather than an inherent feature of the network itself.
Broadcom's solution includes several new products: the BCM56520 unified wireless switch, the Intensi-fi BCM4748 802.11n access point (AP) system-on-a-chip (SoC) with Accelerange technology, and FastPath Unified Wireless Switching (UWS) 6.0 software optimized for unified wireless switching and unified wireless APs.
Separately, Broadcom announced its new XGS Core fabric architecture, which the company described as a scalable, high-performance switch fabric that will enable low-power, high-density, highly reliable Ethernet switches for data center, enterprise and service provider networks.

DETROIT - Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette said Friday he had charged three southeast Michigan residents with felony counts of racketeering, conspiracy, and food stamp fraud for their roles in an alleged $262,000 food stamp fraud operation at Schaefer Dollar Mania in Detroit.
The charges resulted from a joint investigation conducted by the Michigan State Police Bridge Card Enforcement Team and the U.S. Department of Agriculture Office of Inspector General.
"Food stamp fraud is theft from Michigan families who are struggling to put food on the table," said Schuette. "We will continue to work with law enforcement across the state to find and eliminate fraud, waste and abuse – Michigan taxpayers deserve nothing less."
From January 2011 through September 2011, it is alleged that the owner of Schaefer Dollar Mania (13445 Schaefer, Detroit), Dani Mohamed-Kama Itani, 37, of Canton, and two of his employees allegedly accepted hundreds of thousands of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits for products that did not qualify for purchase through the program.
Investigation by the Michigan State Police revealed alleged purchases of ineligible items with SNAP funds, including clothing, electronics and watches. The estimated total value of the fraudulent purchases allegedly made from Schafer Dollar Mania is $262,000. The employees who processed the fraudulent transactions include: store manager Hassan Raychoini, 54, of Dearborn Heights, and Raed Youseff, 22, of Dearborn.

Argentina has been accused of trying to 'strangle' the Falkland Islands by intimidating cruise ships which stop there, it emerged yesterday.
At least 12 incidents of luxury liners being targeted have been reported to Britain's Foreign and Commonwealth Office since November – typically one a fortnight.
Protesters or industrial action by militant unions are disrupting vessels that have a stopover in islands on their itinerary.
Some cruise ships have cancelled visits to the Falklands because of the fallout from continuing tensions over sovereignty of the South Atlantic archipelago.
Protests have included officials refusing entry to Argentine ports or delaying ships, masked militants attacking and ransacking shipping company offices in Buenos Aires and cruise schedules either altered or abandoned to appease locals.
Foreign Office minister Hugo Swire has condemned the intimidation and the Government has summoned Argentine Ambassador Alicia Castro to complain about the incidents involving 10,000 passengers.
The effect on so many visitors is a huge blow to the islands' tourist industry, based in the capital, Stanley, which is worth as much as £10million and employs a quarter of the population.
Dick Sawle, a member of the Falkland Islands Government, said: 'This is yet another example of a country of over 40million people attempting to bully and threaten our 3,000 people and strangle the economy of our home.
'We regret this, and strongly encourage the tourism industry to stand firm, and not to allow themselves to be scared into assisting attempts to damage our economy in what is tantamount to an economic blockade.
'There are countless families in the islands whose livelihoods depend on the cruise vessel industry.
'For over a decade we have enjoyed welcoming visitors from all over the world to see our wonderful wildlife and heritage.'
In December two cruise ships, the Seven Seas Mariner, which carries 700 passengers and the Regatta, which carries 600, cancelled visits to the Falklands because of intimidation.
The following month British cruise firm P&O announced two of its liners, Arcadia and Adonia, responded by scrapping stopovers in Argentina during their round-the-world cruises to avoid disruption.

Lucious Luminizer!I just purchased this product this week and am totally in love with it! This is the most flattering and sheer wash of shimmery color that I have ever encountered. It totally mixes well with your moisturizer or foundation to give your complextion a subtle and youthful glow. Not to mention that is costs less than half of what most other illuminating lotions do. I believe it comes in three flattering shades for you to choose from. This will be a beauty staple of mine from now on. — 8 years, 12 months agokrudder30 | 189 reviews

nice feelingI like that it is inexpensive and feels light. I hate when lipgloss or lipstick is heavy and sticky. I like that it doesn't smell either. I bought the shade 'twisted' and liked the soft peachy- nude color for my skintone which is med. light. Not my favorite but you can beat the price for a summer lipstick. — 9 years, 2 months agodaisy16 | 27 reviews
