The pup is 7 months old and has been in 6 different homes. It needs a forever home. He is great with Children, he let my 4 year old give him sticks to chew and when my 4 year old tried pulling the stick out of its mouth, he didn't snatch or growl and let the stick go. He was very playful with my son. He doesn't know how to walk on the lead and has had no training. He likes to also be inside. He is very boisterous and when meeting my dominant collie he had a go at him and tried to jump on him in a dominant way. I believe he will be a dominate male. He hasn't been around other dogs before.
I am just wondering if I am stupid enough to consider taking him when I have 2 other dogs. Him being a shepherd I am a bit scared as I was bitten by 2 when I was a child. One being my own dog and another being my brothers friends. Also vet bills and food to feed 3 dogs.... My heart is saying yes but my head is saying no....
He is desexed and declawed. He is so beautiful looking I just want to save him, no one wants him. I offered to look after him for the three weeks while they are away as I really don't want him to go to the pound.
Sorry for no paragraphs on the iPad.

MADRID Nine-time champions Real Madrid breezed into the quarter-finals of the Champions League after beating Schalke 9-2 on aggregate.
After running out 6-1 victors in last week's first leg, Real won 3-1 at home, thanks to a brace from Cristiano Ronaldo and a third from Alvaro Morata, Schlake's consolation coming from Tim Hoogland.
Chelsea beat Galatasaray 2-0 on Tuesday to advance to the Champions League quarter-finals 3-1 on aggregate.
Following a 1-1 draw in the first leg in Istanbul last month, Samuel Eto'o gave Chelsea an early lead on the night and Gary Cahill added another shortly before half-time to give Jose Mourinho's men a comfortable victory in the last 16 tie.

The latest magazine from Stampington and Company, Willow and Sage, is a bit of a departure for me but I was really excited to try my hand at something new! This brand new publication is all about hand made bath and body ideas. The issue has over 70 ideas including uses, recipes, and packaging ideas for home made soaps, body scrubs, face masks, foot soaks and lots more. Most, if not all, of the items need for the recipes can probably be found in your kitchen right now, like cucumber, beer, course salt, olive oil, honey, oatmeal, brown sugar, cocoa powder, extracts, lemons, limes, herbs and spices. Most other ingredients can be easily found at your local grocery store. All recipes have ingredients lists, step by step directions and lots of lovely pictures. There are many easy recipes with only a few ingredients, perfect for beginners and more detailed ideas for the more experienced. You'll find tips for using things like essentials oils and herbs. There's also loads of beautiful package inspiration from labels, jars, tins, fabric bags, pouches and wraps. These are perfect for gift giving or if you sell your hand made products.
I decided to try a simple and quick two step body scrub using coffee grounds and coconut oil, I made a wonderful Coffee Body Scrub (shown above). This is a great way to use your coffee grounds once you've had your morning cup! I used my favorite hazelnut coffee and placed the grounds in my container, pour melted coconut oil (which I found at my grocery) over top, stirred and let it set up. It was fast and simple and now I was a wonderful smelling scrub that left my skin feeling really soft and hydrated. I placed my scrub into a tin and of course since I always try to stamp on everything I added some stamped labels to my tin. Using permanent stamping ink (Staz-On black) I used a label and alphabet stamps to stamp onto clear sticker paper, adding color with a Sharpie marker, cut them out and applied them to the front and top of my tin, a hand made wash cloth (made by a friend) goes with it perfectly.
Check your local newsstand to pick up a copy of Willow and Sage today or order directly from Stampington and Company.
Or you might win a copy! Leave a comment on this post and one lucky reader will win the premiere issue of Willow and Sage. Giveaway runs from today through May 18th, one comment per person, open to US residents only.

U.S. Postal Service Reports Nearly $2 Billion Loss In Q2
The U.S. Postal Service reported a $1.9 billion loss for the first three months of this year and pleaded again Friday for reforms to its troubled financial system.
The agency said the loss for the quarter that ended March 31 matched the $1.9 billion in red ink in the same period last year and marked the 20th time of the last 22 quarters that it posted a loss.
It came despite a 2.3 percent rise in its operating revenue and continued cost-cutting efforts. Postal officials have said repeatedly that they need comprehensive legislation that includes more control over its personnel and benefit costs and more flexibility in pricing and products. Though various legislative proposals have been advanced, Congress has not passed a bill with the requested changes.
"The Postal Service is working diligently to improve its finances by streamlining our network to improve efficiency, reduce operating costs and increase revenue, which was up $379 million over the same period last year - the third straight quarter of revenue increase," Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe said in a statement. "However, we will still incur annual inflationary cost increases ... and first-class mail volume continues to decline."
Details in the report for the second quarter of the budget year, compared to the same period last year, included:
-Operating revenue was $16.7 billion, an increase of $379 million or 2.3 percent.
-Operating expenses before non-cash workers' compensation expenses were cut to $17.9 billion from $18.1 billion, a 1.1 percent improvement.
-Total mail volume fell to 38.1 billion pieces from 38.8 billion pieces.
-Volume in shipping and packages rose 7.3 percent.
-First-class mail declined 4.1 percent.
The Postal Service is an independent agency that receives no tax dollars for its day-to-day operations but is subject to congressional control. It has asked to end most Saturday deliveries, a move it says could save about $2 billion annually. And it's seeking to reduce its congressionally mandated $5.6 billion annual payment for future retiree health benefits.

Minnesota News Briefs: Emmer the first to announce for Sixth CD seat
ST. CLOUD, Minn. - Former Minnesota State Representative Tom Emmer has officially kicked off his Congressional campaign.
Emmer is seeking the GOP nomination for the Sixth District, which is an open seat after U.S. Representative Michele Bachmann decided not to seek another term in Congress The 52-year-old Emmer, who ran for governor three years ago, is the first Republican to enter the race.
The U.S. Senate is expected to pass the farm bill now that they are back from recess, and Minnesota U.S. Senator Al Franken (DFL-Minneapolis) says it goes in a positive direction. Franken says the bill eliminates direct payments to farmers but has a strong crop insurance program to make sure that there's a safety net -- and saves about 24 billion dollars on the debt. The farm bill includes instead a risk management system that supports farmers only when they are hurt by weather disasters or fluctuating commodity prices.
A major methamphetamine bust in north-central Minnesota. Following a nine-month investigation, several law enforcement agencies executed three search warrants in the Staples area Wednesday. Authorities say six people were arrested -- 42-year-old Thomas Brown, 28-year-old Jennifer Paul, 40-year-old Raymond Weekley, 48-year-old Stewart Weekley, 26-year-old Alexander Miller, and 22-year-old Clinton McNamara. Officials are still looking for three additional people.
There was no waiting line for same-sex marriage license applications today at the Hennepin County Government Center in downtown Minneapolis. Today is the first day gay and lesbian couples in Minnesota can apply to marry under the new Minnesota law which takes effect August 1st. Zeke Rice of Minneapolis says he and his partner are looking forward to legal recognition and its safeguards. Rice says it's something they never thought would happen, and it's been an interesting learning experience to plan a wedding. Rice says he and Alex Schmit have been engaged for about 13 years and hope Mayor R.T. Rybak will officiate their wedding at City Hall. They plan to have a bigger ceremony and reception for family and friends next spring.
Some of the top artists in country music will be in central Minnesota this weekend. It's the 20th anniversary of the popular Winstock Country Music Festival, and for the first time it's completely sold out -- general admission, VIP tickets, reserved seating and camping passes. Campers start converging on the small town of 24-hundred today. Friday's line up includes Neal McCoy, Miranda Lambert and Dierks Bentley. Saturday it's Sawyer Brown, Kip Moore and the reigning ACM Entertainer of the year Luke Bryan. The Winstock Country Music Festival is a fundraiser for the Winsted Holy Trinity schools.
At least two people are dead after a two-vehicle crash in Ham Lake yesterday morning. It happened during rush hour at around 8:15 am. Emergency responders arrived to find one of the vehicles on fire. The cause of the accident remains under investigation.
Two people died when a van left a highway near Staples early Tuesday and launched into trees. 23-year-old Amanda Cowan of Miltona and 33-year-old Daniel Waldron of Fridley died in the crash. Three others, including an eight-year old, were hurt -- but their injuries were not life-threatening. A baby in the van escaped injury. The State Patrol continues to investigate.
The death of a Georgia woman found in the trunk of a towed car in Minneapolis has been ruled a homicide by the Hennepin County Medical Examiner. Officials say 24-year-old Klaressa Cook died of unspecified causes. Cook's body was found last month in a car towed from Brooklyn Park to Wrecker Services near downtown Minneapolis. The 24-year-old suspect in Cook's death has also been charged in the death of an 18-year-old Saint Paul woman, whose body was found in the trunk of a car at an impound lot in February.
Today would have been the 45th birthday of missing TV anchorwoman Jodi Huisentruit from Long Prairie, Minnesota. The Saint Cloud State graduate was abducted in the parking lot of her Mason City, Iowa apartment on June 27th, 1995. Huisentruit's producer called when she didn't arrive for work by 4 a.m. and Jodi told her that she had overslept and would be at the TV station shortly. Twenty-seven-year-old Huisentruit was never heard from again. Police found her car, blood, other belongings and evidence of a struggle in the parking lot. Investigators have been following leads for nearly 18 years and the case remains open even though Huisentruit was declared legally dead in 2001.
Minnesota farmers who've had trouble completing their spring planting because of all of the May showers may soon have an important decision to make. About one-point-two million acres of corn still hasn't been planted, and neither have nearly half the state's soybean acres. USDA meteorologist Brad Rippey says more rain in the forecast will create additional problems. Southeastern Minnesota has been particularly wet, and University of Minnesota experts say if corn isn't planted by June 10th, farmers should give up on it -- while soybean farmers should switch to lower-yielding short-season hybrids after that date.
Senator Amy Klobuchar (DFL-Plymouth) led a Commerce Committee hearing Tuesday on her bill that would require carriers to unlock cell phones for consumers. Mobile devices can usually be used only on the carrier they were purchased from, meaning customers unhappy with service have to purchase a new phone if they decide to take their business elsewhere. The Consumers Union says that's an unfair business practice. Steve Largent, President of CTIA-The Wireless Association, responds unlocked phones are available, but aren't typically sold at discounted prices that cell phone carriers offer to hook new customers. The bipartisan legislation known as the Wireless Consumer Choice Act would direct the FCC to ensure that consumers have the right to unlock their phone.
Minnesota federal employees continue to get furlough notices and some of them will be required to take as many as 11 unpaid days off this summer because of sequestration cuts. Jacqueline Simon with the American Federation of Government Employees says there is still time for Congress to stop the furloughs by giving federal agencies more flexibility in how they spend their money. Simon says the furloughs drop the average Minnesota federal workers income by one-fifth during those weeks, and that means some will be unable to pay their rent, child care expenses, or buy groceries.
A new report from the American Lung Association shows that women are 37 percent more likely to have chronic obstructive pulmonary disease than men, and millions have symptoms that have gone undiagnosed. American Lung Association Minnesota spokesman Robert Moffitt says COPD used to be a problem mainly for men, but in recent years that's changed. COPD now is the nation's third leading cause of death, and more than 88-thousand Minnesota woman are currently living with the illness. There's no cure for COPD and it continues to worsen over time.
Information on state tax increases and other tax changes is available on the Minnesota Department of Revenue's web site starting today. Some changes begin in July, but others not until April of next year. Revenue Commissioner Myron Frans says in addition to listing the dates of tax law changes, there will be updates on the new cigarette/tobacco tax and instructions for taxpayer business registration. The information on new tax laws will be updated each Thursday. You can find it online at revenue.state.mn.us
Minnesota's five DFL U.S. House members are co-sponsoring legislation aimed at preventing future spikes in gasoline prices. It would require refineries report their maintenance schedules to the U.S. Energy Department. Eighth District Congressman Rick Nolan of Duluth says the spike in gas prices at the start of the tourism season has become a ritual, and one excuse that constantly comes up is, a bunch of refineries were shut down. Nolan says "it's not necessarily just a coincidence" He says if refineries won't stagger their maintenance schedules, lawmakers could give the Department of Energy the authority to step in.
Saint Paul boosters are trying to get some wedding business across the state's eastern border, now that same-sex marriage will be legal in Minnesota beginning August 1st. The group "Visit Saint Paul" is dispatching its mobile visitor center to Milwaukee for this weekend's Pridefest. Visit Saint Paul CEO Karolyn Kirchgesler says it's a chance to get in front of a lot of people and share why Saint Paul is "the perfect destination for a wedding, a long weekend, or a full-fledged vacation."
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is celebrating "National Get Outdoors Day" on Saturday by offering free admission to all state parks and recreation areas. DNR spokeswoman Pat Arndt says they will also have hundreds of free naturalist programs throughout the weekend. To find the perfect park for you and your family, go to the DNR's website and take a virtual tour. Arndt says interactive photos allow viewers to pan right, left, up, and down to see exactly what they would see if they were standing at that very spot in the park.
A Woodbury woman will spend a year in the Ramsey County workhouse for dropping her developmentally disabled daughter off at an apartment in Roseville, where she was forced to have sex with several men. Prosecutors say 51-year-old Cheryl Tchida continued to leave her daughter at the apartment for 6 weeks, even after the 19-year-old, who has the mental capacity of a kindergartner, told her mother she was being forced to have sex with strange men. Tchida did eventually report the rapes to police, and pled guilty to neglect. The victim became pregnant and gave birth to a special needs child, who was placed in foster care. Tchida asked the judge to allow her to have contact with her daughter, but was denied. Ramsey County District Judge Gary Bastian told her, "That would be the worst thing that could happen to your daughter.
A 55-year-old Cambridge pastor accused of sexually assaulting a man he was counseling as a former homosexual will spend five months in jail and 10 years on probation. Ryan Muehlhauser is also not allowed to act as a minister, or even church volunteer, and also must undergo sex offender treatment. He pled guilty earlier this year to two counts of criminal sexual conduct. Prosecutors say the victim was one of at least two mentored by Muehlhauser for around five months, in a program the former leader of Lakeside Christian Church called, "How to escape the gay lifestyle," and the pastor told the victim he was "hearing the Lord tell him what to do."
A mosque in southeastern Minnesota has been vandalized for the second time in two weeks and the third time in a year. A window was broken over the weekend at Owatonna's Muslim Society Center, and while the building is monitored by security cameras, police say they have no leads. The Minnesota chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations is calling on local authorities to investigate the vandalism as a possible hate crime.
Broadcast Music, Incorporated, better known as BMI, has filed a lawsuit accusing Whiskey Bones Roadhouse in Rochester and 11 other bars across the country accused of playing unlicensed music. Nightclubs, bars and restaurants pay for BMI music licenses, and the company says it's entitled to $150,000 for every unlicensed song played. The lawsuit accuses the 12 small-town bars of playing their music without paying the licensing fees.

NEW YORK, July 7 (Reuters) - JP Morgan Chase & Co (JPM.N) is three-quarters of the way through the toughest part of its integration of Bear Stearns and has halved Bear's risk-weighted assets, according to Chief Executive Jamie Dimon.
"We've had all the people decisions, we've made all the management teams have been integrated, we've started to move people between the buildings," Dimon said in an interview with Charlie Rose on PBS televised on Monday.
"If you look at what they call risk-weighted assets -- of $220 billion, it's probably half that today. And so we had to get that risk down ... So I think we're 75 percent through the toughest parts of it," he said.
JPMorgan completed its fire-sale acquisition of Bear Stearns in May, following that bank's stock plunge and near collapse earlier this year. (Reporting by Michael Erman; Editing by Lincoln Feast)

Chrysler Repair Questions? Ask a Mechanic for Answers ASAP
hi the alarm is incorporated in to all the computers on your vehicle and can not be bypass or eliminted from the network with out replasing the computers in to basic computers . this can be verry expensive, the security on this vehicle can hold up to 3 remotes and you can not program a forth one with out loosing one remote function , no matter how many keys you reprogram it will eliminate the old key and replase it with a new on, you hould have no problem reprograming a nw key as long as the new key is factory original.are they original keys or aftermarket keys?
One is the original that came with the car and one I purchased . I t is an factory key but is blank When I do the reprogramming, is there a chance that I will loose the programing on the original? and when I do reprogram will it reactivate the lock and unlock buttons on my original key? and do you have the directions for me to do the reprogramming. THank you
i am gong t change to Q/A to send you information.
The Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS) is designed to provide passive protection against unauthorized vehicle use by disabling the engine, after two (2) seconds of running, whenever an invalid key is used to start the vehicle. The SKIS is active whenever the ignition is on and does not require any customer intervention. The primary components of the system are the Sentry Key Remote Entry Module (SKREEM), Sentry Key (ignition key with a transponder molded into the head), indicator light, Body Control Module (BCM), and the Next Generation Controller (NGC). The SKREEM is mounted on the ignition switch/lock cylinder assembly with the molded, integral antenna mounted around the ignition housing. The indicator light, is located instrument panel switch pod, just to the right of the instrument cluster.The SKIS includes keys from the factory which are pre-programmed. Each SKIM will recognize a maximum of eight Sentry Keys. If the customer would like to own additional keys other than those provided with the vehicle, they can be purchased from any authorized dealer. These keys must be programmed to the SKREEM on the vehicle in order for the system to recognize them as valid keys. This can be done by the dealer with a DRB III(R) scan tool or by a customer if this feature is available in their market and they have two (2) valid keys already available to them. The SKIS performs a self-test each time the ignition switch is turned to the ON position and will store Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC's) if a system malfunction is detected. The SKIS can be diagnosed and any stored DTC's can be retrieved using a DRB III(R) scan tool.The Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS) authenticates an electronically coded Transponder Key placed into the ignition and sends a valid/invalid key message to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) based upon the results. The "VALID/INVALID KEY" message communication is performed using a rolling code algorithm via the Programmable Communication Interface (PCI) data bus. A "VALID KEY" message must be sent to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) within two seconds of ignition ON to free the engine from immobilization.The Sentry Key Remote Entry Module (SKREEM) receives an encrypted Radio Frequency (RF) signal from the transponder key. The SKREEM then decrypts the signal and broadcasts the requested remote commands to the appropriate modules in the vehicle over the Programmable Communication Interface (PCI) data bus. A valid transponder key ID must be incorporated into the RF signal in order for the SKREEM to pass the message on to the appropriate modules.Automatic transponder key synchronization is done by the SKREEM if a valid transponder key is inserted into the ignition cylinder, and the ignition is turned ON. This provides a maximum operation window for RKE functions.Each Sentry Key Remote Entry System (SKREES) consists of a SKREEM and a transponder key. Each system has a secret key code unique to that system. The secret key is electronically coded in the SKREEM and in all programmed transponder keys. It is used for immobilization and RKE functions for data security. In addition, each transponder key will have a unique identification.
The Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) system allows the use of a remote battery-powered radio transmitter to communicate with the RKE receiver to actuate the power lock system. The RKE receiver operates on non-switched battery current through a fuse in the Integrated Power Module (IPM), so that the system remains operational, regardless of the ignition switch position.The RKE transmitters are also equipped with a Panic button. If the Panic button on the RKE transmitter is depressed, the horn will sound and the exterior lights will flash on the vehicle for about three minutes, or until the Panic button is depressed a second time. Pressing the Panic button also activates the courtesy lamps. Pressing the Panic button again stops the exterior lamps from flashing and the horn from sounding. However, the courtesy lamps will remain illuminated until either the BCM times out lamp operation or until the turning of the ignition. The panic feature will operate if the ignition is ON, but only if the Panic button is pressed prior to starting the vehicle. A vehicle speed of about 25.7 km/h (15 miles-per-hour) will also cancel the panic event.The RKE system can also perform other functions on this vehicle. If the vehicle is equipped with the optional Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS), the RKE transmitter will arm the VTSS when the Lock button is depressed, and disarm the VTSS when the Unlock button is depressed.The RKE system includes two transmitters when the vehicle is shipped from the factory, but the system can retain the vehicle access codes of up to a total of four transmitters. The transmitter codes are retained in the RKE module memory, even if the battery is disconnected. If an RKE transmitter is faulty or lost, new transmitter vehicle access codes can be programmed into the system using a DRB III(R) scan tool.This vehicle also offers several customer programmable features, which allows the selection of several optional electronic features to suit individual preferences. Customer programmable feature options affecting the RKE system include:
The RKE transmitter uses radio frequency signals to communicate with the SKREEM module. The SKREEM is on the PCI bus. When the operator presses a button on the transmitter, it sends a specific request to the SKREEM. In turn, the SKREEM sends the appropriate request over the PCI bus to the following:
After pressing the lock button on the RKE transmitter, all of the door locks will lock, the illuminated entry will turn off (if all doors are closed) and the vehicle theft security system (if equipped) will arm.Pressing the unlock button one time will unlock the driver door, or all doors based on the customer programmable feature enabled, the illuminated entry will turn on the courtesy lamps and the vehicle theft security system (if equipped) will disarm. Pressing the unlock button a second time, the remaining door locks will unlock.If the vehicle is equipped with the memory system, the memory message will identify which transmitter (1 or 2) sent the signal.The SKREEM is capable of retaining up to 8 individual access codes (8 transmitters). If the PRNDL is in any position except park, the SKREEM will disable the RKE. The 4 button transmitter uses 1-CR2032 battery. The minimum battery life is approximately4.7 years based on 20 transmissions a day at 84°F (25°C) . Use the DRBIII(R) scan tool or the Miller Tool 9001 RF Detector to test the RKE transmitter. Use the DRBIII(R) or the customer programming method to program the RKE system. However, the SKREEM will only allow RKE programming when the ignition is in the ON position, the PRNDL is in park position, and the VTSS (if equipped) is disarmed.
when the key programs itself to your ignition it will program the remote also. if you bought the keys at the dealer they were supposed to program them to your car at no cost to you.
no it will not deactivate your key you can program another key and fob with out deactivating yours .

A poster asked my take on Gary Sheffield's comments that the reason there are more Latin players in the major leagues than blacks are because they are easily pushed around.
What an idiot. Sheffield is a lot of things, but smart and subtle are not among them. I've had several dealings with Sheffield and believe he thinks he's smarter than he really is. He also doesn't have that button to press that enables him to think before he speaks.
There a lot of reasons why there's a decline in black players and increase in Latin players, but discrimination isn't one of them. With the pressure to win, teams aren't going to snub a player who can play. That's not to say there might not be a manager who might go one way with all things equal for a final roster spot.
I talked to several people – Darryl Strawberry and Lastings Milledge among them to get the slant from different generations, and both said the choice is that of the athlete.
Here's what I wrote:
NEW YORK _The reason was literally as simple as black and white as to why Jackie Robinson wasn't allowed to play baseball prior to April 15, 1947.
Tonight at Shea Stadium, as Major League Baseball celebrates the 60th anniversary of Robinson breaking the color barrier that forever changed a sport and a nation, the issue of the number of American blacks playing the game is again a topic.
No longer does the hiring of a manager of color attract attention, but it is the scarcity of the dwindling number of black players that has become a hot button topic.
The reasons are varied and complex, far from black and white and not easily explained.
"I don't think you can point to any one thing and say, `That's the reason,' " said Mets manager Willie Randolph, who will wear Robinson's No. 42 tonight.
"There are a lot of reasons. Some carry more weight than others, but they all contribute."
At the time of Robinson's death in 1972, roughly 20 percent of major league rosters were comprised of blacks, including Hall of Famers Willie Mays, Frank Robinson, Hank Aaron, Willie McCovey, Bob Gibson and Ernie Banks.
The Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sport at the University of Central Florida, reports the percentage of black players peaked at 27 percent in 1975. It dropped to 19 percent in 1995, and this year it is 8.4 percent.
The cause for the decline isn't sinister, said former Mets general manager Steve Phillips, now an analyst for ESPN.
"It's not that," Phillips said. "This is a business about winning, and teams will go anywhere for talent. They are going to Japan. They are going to the Dominican. If there's talent in Europe, they'll go there."
The decline can be explained in part by the harvesting of foreign talent, freedom of choice, cultural and a lack of interest.
Robinson not only opened the door for blacks, but also Hispanics, and baseball is the sport of choice in many Latin American nations.
If somebody is leaving, somebody else is coming.
"It's simple," Mets outfielder Moises Alou said. "There are more Latin players than ever before."
Major league rosters are comprised of roughly 40 percent non-white players, of which 29.4 percent are Hispanic and 2.4 percent Asian.
"Baseball is the national sport in the Dominican Republic," Phillips said. "It is the sport of interest in a lot of Latin American countries. It is not the sport of interest with many black athletes in this country."
Darryl Strawberry was supposed to be the next Ted Williams. His son, D.J. Strawberry, wasn't interested in following dad, and played basketball last season at the University of Maryland.
"Basketball," Strawberry said without hesitation when asked if he could pinpoint one reason.
"Kids these days want to play basketball. Others want to play football. They don't want to play baseball."
Greg Maddux once said "chicks dig the long ball," as part of a baseball-marketing slogan. Truth is, they dig slam-dunks and touchdowns.
There are fewer blacks in the major leagues because there are fewer players in college and that's because there are fewer playing on the high school level.
"It's not cool. It's not the most popular sport in high school," said Mets outfielder Lastings Milledge, four years removed from prep ball.
"Guys play the sports their friends follow. You go to a baseball game and there are maybe 150 people. There are 10 to 15 thousand at a football game, and maybe, three, four thousand at a basketball game."
Robinson not only played baseball, but also ran track and played football. These days, he might have been forced to choose.
"When I was growing up, we played all sports," Mets bench coach Jerry Manuel said. "And, baseball was always a glamour sport. Many kids now play only one sport, but it's not baseball because it's not the glamour sport anymore."
It's not cool. Rap is cool, and the rappers wear baseball hats, "but they don't have an allegiance to any team," Manuel said. "In the Hip Hop culture the caps are part of the outfit."
The Hip Hop culture has adopted basketball and football, which black kids have been playing more on the college level since the 1970s when those sports began recruiting them on a wide scale.
Those sports have a quicker payout potential.
"Kids these days want that instant gratification," Manuel said. "You can get to the pros quicker in those sports. Nobody wants to go through the minor leagues."
Kids, black or white, dream of playing pro ball at an early age. Kids in the inner city don't dream much about baseball because they don't play it.
When Randolph grew up in the Brownsville section of Brooklyn, there were places to play.
"When I go back what strikes me is there is no place to play," Randolph said. "And whatever field there are there aren't maintained. Who wants to play on a field where a ball can hit a broken bottle or crack syringe and hit you in the face?"
Randolph said Major League Baseball must work more with city governments and corporate sponsors to build and maintain fields in the inner cities.
It's the only way to generate interest with kids, who then would take that interest to high school and eventually create an upward spiral.
As there is no one explanation for the decline in blacks playing baseball, there is no one solution to stem the tide.
But teaching kids of the first, Robinson, could be a start.
"You'd like to hope so," said Derek Jeter, who will also wear Robinson's No. 42 today. "It's kind of sad that the numbers keep going down and down every year."But I think baseball is starting to make an effort to reach out to some of the inner-city kids."

Reviews for Peanut Butter-Filled Cookies
Average Rating
"This is probably a good recipe, and I am gonna do it, but where did all these fleas come from? I don't know why they beat you up so bad, and i don't know why they let it go on...........Not comin' here again.........."
"I am scared of this site....you have too many people, acting like stupid...I am sorry....don't know if I will return........."
"I made this cookie using Splenda and because I have to be gluten free, I used my gluten free flour. I found it very tasty and it worked for the family and me. It's a keeper."
"The flavor of the cookies was good. However, I found them time consuming to make."
"Loved them. Nice peanut butter flavor. I would double the cookie dough part but not the filling. This will yield close to 4 dozen cookies then."
"Although my husband and I are diabetic, I do indeed modify recipes to meet our needs or I take just one. I don't understand people who are so rigid about something because it doesn't meet their criteria. You'd probably be better off if you didn't voice your opinion."
"While this wasn't a terrible recipe, it didn't knock our socks off either. Nothing special but could cure a sweet tooth. We had to reduce baking to 4-5 minutes."
"This recipe sounds SO good! Surely you diabetic folks have learned to modify recipes to meet YOUR needs of to by-pass them altogether. No need to give them a bad rating or make them sound lethal just because they so not suit you!!"
"Although the cookies are very pretty to look at and they taste great, I'm not sure how they can be awarded Diabetic Friendly. I realize the "new" attitude toward sweets for some diabetics is that one cookie once in a while won't hurt you, I don't think this recipe is one that would be included in a hand-out by diabetic dieticians. Besides they taste too good just to have one!"
"Anybody knows this is not for diabetics,it has sugar and powdered sugar.Get real people."

Huh... wonder if the in-depth review is going to be a little bias? I don't know if there could be anymore apple ass-kissing adjectives in this article. What's also funny is that right below this article on the 'News & Articles' page is an article about yellow dots on the screens and bad grounds in the external antenna... "meticulously paid attention to every small detail" indeed.

Yeah they should rename this site to iphonearena these editors are complete fanboys ,what's a fanboy anybody who waits for a trend to be set and then hops on the bandwagon and thinks it better than anything else and then looks down on any other product,closed minded idiots who think their shit dosen't stink, that's a fanboy .Most android fans are not like this,This tends to be iPhone fans so their you go fanboys now you know what you are cry about that
11. RORYREVOLUTION (Posts: 3117; Member since: 12 Jan 2010)
Its funny how they say the EVO is the best phone available right now and yet on their EVO vs Iphone 3GS, they simply stated that they were "equal". Obviously to avoid getting flamed in their asses by angry apple fan boys. They will kiss ass to apple products because they fear being spamed with hate mail. How can you say the EVO is equal to the 3GS and say the EVO is the best phone available. So we all know iphonearena is going to say the iphone 4 is the great thing since sliced bread and nothing even comes close and that every other phone should just drop dead and everyone should get the iphone 4.

Most of what you said I agree with. However have you even seen the Droid X compared to the Droid 1 and 2? Are you dumb? Oh wait the names are very similar I guess thats where you got off saying that. Im not defending the Droid and Droid 2, yes they are almost identical. But You have to be blind to think, even remotely, that the Droid X looks anything like the other 2.
2. phil0817 (Posts: 1; Member since: 24 Jun 2010)
Two complaints are being heard First is yellow blemishes on some new phones. This is the result of the failure to have adequate curing time for the adhesive used in construction of the display. Use the phone for a few days and the blemish(s) should gob away. Second is a reduction in the number of bars in the signal strength indicator when the phone is held in hand. This same problem appears on 3G and 3GS phones that have the OS4 upgrade. The problem appears to be associated with the operating system and is not an accurate indication of signal strength to the carrier. I installed OS4 on my 3GS and initiated a call as soon as I picked up the phone. The strength indicator showed fewer and fewer bars but the quality of the call was not affected nor was the call dropped. I just wanted to give you a leg up on these two major issues.

PhoneArena will provide the highest praise of the iPhone and Apple products. But bring up the Droid,Evo, Blackberry, or any other smartphone and they are quick to find flaws in their products and design. This site is so pro apple its ridiculous. If its not an Apple Product, expect a "mediocre" review...
6. jd829 (Posts: 155; Member since: 24 Feb 2010)
How do ya figure? Evo, incredible, and HD2 all got 9+ in their full reviews. Quit complaining
8. DonkeyPunched (Posts: 321; Member since: 10 Jan 2010)
Exactly. They give so many updates on the Android products. Basically, they follow what Engadget has to offer. TI'm glad there aren't stupid people like this one commenting on that site.
17. mdw92581 (Posts: 131; Member since: 25 Feb 2010)
wow this phone looks like the Samsung Galaxy S LOL big minus' for that huh.
19. WirelessCritic (Posts: 7; Member since: 30 Nov 2009)
It's funny to me that people come in here and talk negatively about Apple "fanboys" and everything Apple has to offer, and then call yourselves things like "droidman", etc...who's the fanboy now? Jus' sayin. I've used almost everything out there, and the author of this column is absolutely correct, there is no better constructed device out there than the iPhone. That's signature Apple, almost everything they make is aluminum, or high grade plastic and feels like a million bucks...but for their price, I would expect nothing less. And they deliver. That new MyTouch Slide from HTC feels like a child play thing.
20. droidman (Posts: 106; Member since: 17 Mar 2010)
Really that's because after four drops that thing was history I bet you could drop the mytouch slide ten times that amount and it would still work. Hd2 was run over by a car and was still able to function know what your talking about before you open your mouth yeah the iPhone is made out sapphire crystal that's nice but people who spend their hard earned money should not have a device so fragile
22. droidman (Posts: 106; Member since: 17 Mar 2010)
And another thing wirelesscritic the Samsung wave super amoled will shit on the retina display you call me a fanboy I screaming bada all the way you fanboys can't accept when Samsung or HTC makes better product then apple thats why people hate you guys. wirelesscritic yeah like know something about phones
23. ilia1986 (unregistered)
You know, its kinda interesting. I don't think that any other phone has ever received so many loud-mouthed comments from people who hate it so much (for no reason but to troll of course and attract attention) - and despite having some technical problems - which appear to be software related (according to phil0817) - just like many other phones - still continues to sell like crazy. Let me tell you what I believe. I believe that Apple will get through this. This is probably their least stellar product release yet. First there was this thing with the Gizmodo scumbags, then there were some technical problems at WWDC during the demonstration, next was a failure in the online pre-order system on AT&T, and now these technical problems kinda mar it's launch. But I believe Apple will get through this. The iPhone 4 is still selling like crazy, and I'm sure they will release a workaround these aforementioned issues. Until then the comments by various mindless idiots on this site who like bashing the iPhone 24 hours a day just so they can pimp their ego will continue. I advice every sane person to ignore the likes of droidman and others. We are all better than that. Regardless what you feel to the iPhone, being it passionate love, or insane rage. There is a proper way to discuss and post your opinion on things. Have a nice day.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 13/5/2013 (1562 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Two people taken to hospital with undetermined injuries after a fire destroyed two trailers near the west Perimeter Highway overnight were treated and released, Winnipeg Police Service spokesman Const. Eric Hofley said today.
The fire broke out just before 1 a.m. at the Downs Village Mobile Home Community, located at 480 Augier Ave.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
Damages were estimated at $200,000 to the trailers and $100,000 to contents.

You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I ordered these for my wedding invitations, and they came our gorgeous! I loved the design and the color options they offered. I went with the square option, and used the cream colored background and solid color for the back design. I love that the paper is already shimmery, which also adds to the design. I did think the paper was a little thin, and maybe I should have ordered a thicker paper, but overall all I was very happy with my order and my invitations! My order also arrived earlier than expected."
"Loved my pearlized invites! Didn't want them to be overly fancy but had just the right amount of delicate and they are beautiful!"
"We are so happy with how our wedding invitations turned out! I can't believe how much we love them. The colors are vibrant and elegant and are perfect for our Dallas rooftop wedding. I give this product 5 stars for sure and nothing less."
"I absolutely love my invitations! I was able to add the "Detail" section to the back of the card to save money and it turned out great!"
"I ordered these in the color "aloe". They look so beautiful in person! They have a pearl finish, which you can't see on the computer, but it adds such an extra element of class. I redesigned the back of the RSVP cards so that they were largely the aloe color instead of so much black, and they made the changes for me quickly and so beautifully! Very easy process, with a stunning end result."

COMPUTER savy students in Bromsgrove have been using their digital dexterity to help those who don't know their mouse from their memory stick.
South Bromsgrove Community High School recently signed up to BT's Digital Champions programme, which encourages students to share their technological skills by volunteering to mentor and teach people in the local community.
Coordinator of Computing at the school Keith Buncle said: "A number of students at the school were given homework which was quite different.
"They were asked to train a member of their family or a friend how to use some digital technology. This could be anything from teaching grandparents how to use the Internet or teaching a younger sibling how to set up and use a new laptop computer. Some students taught people how to use library systems."
Overall, 153 students from the school were able to train members of their family and friends and it is hoped even more students will get involved in the coming weeks.
So far, more than 24,000 students across the UK have pledged their time, with those benefitting the most including the elderly and the unemployed, who have been taught essential computer skills.

A survey of students at a California high school that does not use letter grades finds that students see narrative evaluations as stressful but also more useful than letter grades, reports a study in American Secondary Education.
Among the stressors noted by the students were the intensity of detail in the evaluations, teacher subjectivity and the demands of revisions. "We're, like, picked apart, and that can be stressful," one student wrote. However, students also appreciated the personalization and the feedback about how to improve.
The majority of students surveyed at the school (59% ) indicated they "really like" the use of narrative evaluations and many (46%) explained that they appreciated the focus on improvement.
"It helps me to pinpoint what I need to work on and what I can use to grow in this area."
"The narratives really tell me what I do well and what I need to work on more. An A tells me nothing!"
When asked what they liked least about getting narrative evaluations instead of grades, students gave a variety of response. They said they missed knowing their overall GPA , that narrative evaluations were too hard to translate for a college transcript, that they were too vague and complicated and too confusing for parents.
Researchers surveyed 115 of 180 9th-12th graders at a high school in California that uses narrative evaluations and then also conducted 26 semi-structured interviews with students and with guidance counselors and six teachers. Progressive Secondary School is a private co-educational school that opened in the fall of 2000 and currently enrolls approximately 400 students.
Narrative evaluations are only one facet of the complex system of authentic assessment used at the high school. Students also receive standards-based marks (does not meet standards, approaches standards, exceeds turns, etc.) on the Seven Habits of Mind and Heart.
Teachers told researchers that narrative evaluations allowed them to take the time to reflect more deeply on each of their students as individuals but they also complained about the amount of time they had to spend on the evaluations.

32 future nurses celebrated at nursing convocation ceremony
By Guy Harrison, Media & Marketing Specialist
APACHE JUNCTION, Ariz. - Thirty-two Central Arizona College students were celebrated and recognized for completing the college's nursing program, one of the most challenging curricula offered in higher education.
The program's 43rd nursing division graduating class was confirmed on Dec. 8 during the Fall 2011 Nursing Convocation Ceremony.
In particular, three students were recognized for their achievements within the program. Courtnee Colburn (Apache Junction) was selected as the graduating class' Outstanding Academician, having achieved the class' highest grade point average at CAC.
Keeley Ramirez (Florence) was awarded the program's Outstanding Clinician Award, while Megan McClintick (San Manuel) was given the program's leadership award.
After a warm welcome given by CAC director of nursing Cherrie Evans as well as Interim President Dr. Doris Helmich, the graduates were addressed by Vivian Denson, CAC's professor of nursing.
"Congratulations!" Denson announced with two thumbs up. "You have arrived at this point, but this is but one stage. With this new stage come new opportunities."
Next, each of the 32 members of the program's graduating class received pins signifying the students' completion of the program. Following the pinning, class speaker Charmaine Jackson (Queen Creek) congratulated her fellow students.
"When I think back to our first class two years ago, it's hard to believe how much we've changed," Jackson said. "As a class, we all come from different backgrounds; we have a new U.S. citizen, a former flight attendant, and a military veteran. Even though we're all different, we all started the program with the same goal."
Lastly, following a candle lighting ceremony, the graduating students took the Florence Nightingale Pledge. The pledge, an adaption of the physician's Hippocratic Oath, was written in 1893 by Mrs. Lystra E. Gretter and the Farrand Training School for Nurses in Detroit, Mich.
Below are the 32 students who received their pins during the convocation and also will receive an associate of applied science degree:
Kristian Andrade (Casa Grande)
Matthew Bellerose (Queen Creek)
Jacob Bergen (Queen Creek)
Tamera Birdzell (Stanfield)
Lindsey Brown (Queen Creek)
Kayla Butler (Queen Creek)
Lyndie Cherry (Gilbert)
Christine Cleveland (Queen Creek)
Courtnee Colburn (Apache Junction)
Trisha Danielson (Chandler)
Amber Davis (Coolidge)
James Flint (Queen Creek)
Jacquelyn Geller (Casa Grande)
Crystal Gower (Queen Creek)

If you've seen Antique Roadshow, you've probably gotten a taste for the rich payoffs that can come from buying the right antique. However, many of the same reservations noted already for other alternatives also apply here.
Antiques aren't liquid and are only financially good in the long term. The costs of selling an antique can eat up around three years of the piece's appreciation. Plus, antiques are also based on the perceived value of a piece's uniqueness, age or style.
Another issue is that the gap between the cost of luxuries like antiques and the cost of necessities has been increasing. While this may make the goods more valuable, it has pushed many pieces out of reach for investors — and for the rest of the public. All in all, the market is shrinking.
It's also hard to predict the demand for knick-knacks down the road. My dad hunted and hoarded old baseball cards for years with little return other than a $200 rookie card. The same holds true for the countless collectors of once-popular Beanie Babies: 97% of the tiny animals are now worth around 50 cents.
Keep in mind that, regardless of your investment strategy, a diversified portfolio is paramount. Don't bet your life savings on an ancient artifact.

Rihanna Designs More Than Just Umbrellas
Rihanna Designs More Than Just Umbrellas
Rihanna was all dressed in black and showing off that new haircut you all love so much as she made her way through LAX on Sunday. We've been fans of her style for a while now, and soon we won't have to wait for the rain to show off her designs. Rihanna is part of a project called fashion against AIDS, where celebrities team up with H&M to design tanks, tees and hoodies to promote AIDS awareness and raise money for the cause. The celebrity designs will launch on Thursday, so you could be wearing Rihanna's wares by this weekend, and all for a good cause.

SIGNIFICANT delays are expected on local roads this weekend as a 145 ton boiler is moved to a paper mill in Watchet.
The boiler is 16ft wide, 16ft high and 100ft long and will be moved on Sunday, January 12.
The journey will begin at 9am when it will leave Sedgemoor Services on the M5 and travel to junction 24. From there it will head into Bridgwater on the A38, turn left onto the A39 Broadway and continue along the A39 through Williton to Washford Cross where it will turn right onto the B3190 and into the paper mill at Watchet.
Throughout the journey the load will be escorted by police. It is not known how long it will take but it could take up to seven hours to complete the move.
During the move there are likely to be significant tailbacks and motorists are advised to avoid the area and to use an alternative route if possible – including the A358 which is suitable for vehicles under 4.2m (13'9") tall.
The width and length of the load will mean that it will take up most of the road and there are very few safe places to pull the load over to allow traffic to clear. The nature of this load and the difficulty of the route mean that this load cannot be moved during the hours of darkness.

If you are an internet user (home user or professional, it doesn't matter), you know how important is to have a powerful, safe and reliable internet browser. At this moment, there are some major internet browsers available: Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera and Safari.
These are the most common and popular browsers. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages but they can offer a decent level of protection, safe internet browsing, a decent loading speed and well designed interfaces. However, none of these four browsers is perfect.
There is always a compromise. For example, Internet Explorer is extremely simple and easy to use but it's slow and it can't provide a strong security level. On the other hand, Firefox is highly customizable, safe but it consumes a lot of your system resources.
Opera can provide a decent downloading speed; it is customizable but is not user friendly. Safari comes with a strong security system, fast internet browsing but it can't be customized according to each user needs.
Recently I had to test Lunascape, a new internet browser based on an interesting engine: triple-engine system. Basically, Lunascape is a combination between Internet Explorer (Trident engine), Firefox (Gecko engine) and Chrome/Safari (Webkit engine). It takes the best parts from each major internet browser and melds them into one single powerful application.
The results are quite surprising. Some simple tests can prove that Lunascape is faster than any other similar browser (0.5 sec faster than Firefox in loading a standard internet page), it is completely safe, highly customizable and supports multiple add-ons, extensions and various skins. Lunascape is the first complete internet browser I have ever seen.
Let's see some of the most important features incorporated into this software:
- Triple engine for optimal performance and best website coverage: Trident Rendering Engine, Gecko Rendering Engine and WebKit Rendering Engine
- Mouse Gestures
- Form Data Saving
- User Agent Camouflaging
- Change Proxy Settings
- Pop-Up Blocker

JERUSALEM (Aug. 31)
The largest group of American teen-agers ever to participate in a single Youth Aliyah program arrived in Israel on Monday night for a year of study.
The group of 60 youngsters, ranging in age from 15 to 17, will undertake an intensive study program. They will live in Youth Aliyah villages throughout Israel and will study Hebrew and Jewish and Israeli history. They also will tour the country extensively.
At the end of the year, the American youth will be eligible to receive a year's academic credit in their home school systems.
Members of the group said upon their arrival that they are not concerned about being in Israel in the midst of the Palestinian unrest in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.
John Hakimi of New York said that he was not sure about the situation in the West Bank, but he did not feel he had anything to worry about in the Haifa area, where he will be staying.
Sandra Harrison of San Diego said Israel is very exciting because "everything is so different and special here."

Waldorf makes international music news
The Waldorf Hotel's closure under its current guise has been big news in Vancouver for the past 24 hours, with a good chunk of the city's creative community in a full-on uproar.
The news that the hotel's creative team is leaving the East Van spot over a lease dispute, and that the building has reportedly been bought by a condo developer, is now making international waves.
Hotshot electronica artist Grimes has been less than reserved about her feelings. The U.K.'s NME.com picked up on a Twitter post by the 24-year-old Vancouverite, who was born Claire Boucher.
Grimes, whose 2011 record Darkbloom turned her into a critical darling, Tweeted: "Wow Vancouver is so fucked if they shut down the Waldorf. Fuck this city. You've destroyed nearly every piece of culture that you had."
NME ran it under the headline: "Grimes criticises hometown over plans to close local recording studio". That headline is, of course, not entirely accurate; the Waldorf has a recording studio in the basement, but it's known more for its vintage tiki bar, restaurant, art gallery, hair salon, and live- and DJ-friendly music rooms. Since the Waldorf current creative team took over the hotel in October of 2010, it's offered some of the most consistently adventurous and groundbreaking arts programming this city has ever seen.
Still, you get the idea.
Grimes also, as reported by NME, posted a link to one of the numerous petitions that have sprung up locally since news of the Waldorf's sale. The 63-year-old Vancouver institution sits on land that is currently zoned for mixed-use commercial use. It would need to be rezoned for residential use, something that the city's creative community is vowing to fight. The petition Grimes linked to has garnered over 4,000 signatures since yesterday.
Rolling Stone.com has also reported the Waldorf news, touching on it in a story examining Vancouver, its bands, and its reputation as No Fun City. The article includes the following passage: "Blame the bad rep on Vancouver's sky-high rent prices, consistently rainy climate, frustrating lack of public transit options and the province of British Columbia's outdated liquor laws. Just this month, it was announced that the Waldorf Hotel, a beloved local venue, will be closing its doors after being sold to developers to make way for new condominiums."

RCMP reminds residents to watch for fundraising fraud
Chocolate bar charity makes its way around St. Albert
Saturday, Feb 15, 2014 06:00 am
When canvassers come a knockin'
� Call the charity. Find out if the organization is aware of the solicitation and has authorized the use of its name. If not, you may be dealing with a scam artist.
� Ask for written information about the charity, including name, address and telephone number. A legitimate charity or fundraiser will give you information about the charity's mission, how your donation will be used and proof that your contribution is tax deductible.
� Ask the solicitor for the registered charitable tax number of the charity. Confirm the charity�s registration information through the Canada Revenue Agency (1-800-267-2384).
� Check out the charity's financial information. For many organizations, this information can be found online.
� Refuse high pressure appeals. Legitimate fundraisers won't push you to give on the spot.
� Avoid cash gifts. Cash can be lost or stolen. For security and tax record purposes, it's best to pay by cheque.
� To file a police complaint, contact your local police force (780-458-7700). Also file a report with the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre by calling 1-888-495-8501.
A door-to-door fundraiser is making the rounds in St. Albert and some residents are questioning its legitimacy.
Campaigners for Be a Hero � an international charity � have been canvassing area neighbourhoods for donations. With a donation of $20, donors get a chocolate bar.
St. Albertans who got a knock on their door this past week have expressed concern with the volunteers� lack of identification, inactive phone numbers and QR codes on the product.
Be a Hero sponsors orphans, builds orphanages, schools, clinics and develops micro-enterprises in Africa, Asia, South America and Mexico. The Gazette confirmed with the organization�s head office that the charity has recently partnered with Reno House, an Edmonton-based home renovation business, to solicit donations on the charity�s behalf.
Cpl. Laurel Kading of the St. Albert RCMP said the department received a report Wednesday night regarding a potential scam. Police have not been able to locate the person in question so they cannot confirm if the canvasser was legitimate or not.
�Nine times out of 10 it will be legitimate but there could be that chance someone is simply trying to gain funds for their own purpose,� said Kading.
�It�s unfortunate someone would do that because it hurts the community groups, most often robbing money from kids.�
She said identifiable community groups such as hockey teams or Boy Scouts and Girl Guides will typically be wearing their uniforms.
It is up to the consumer how much they want to screen the person at their door or on the phone, but be vigilant, she said.
Door-to-door solicitation
On Feb. 3 a St. Albert woman received a call from a man who stated he was a service representative from Sears. He offered her a free inspection of the home's furnace and hot water tank, but when he came to the house he had no identification from Sears.
The woman refused to allow the man into her home without ID.
St. Albert RCMP were eventually able to confirm that the serviceman did work for Sears and was legitimately trying to provide a furnace service call.
Even though the visit turned out to be legitimate, Kading said the woman did the right thing.
�We commend her for the steps that she took. When this person didn�t have ID with them, she refused entry and that is what we would recommend,� she said.
�It emphasizes back to the servicemen that they need to take that extra step to make sure they have their ID with them and the appropriate working papers.�
Kading said residents need to be wary of inviting people into their homes. The person might be scouting the valuables in your house to come back later. Although that is rare, you don�t want to provide that opportunity, she said.
If someone comes to sell a product on your front step, don�t let them in, Kading recommends. It may be a bit uncomfortable and rude, but you need to create a safety barrier.
�If you choose to buy their product, do the transaction on the step. You also have the opportunity to say �I need some time to check this out, why don�t you come back in about 20 minutes?� You can build in a cushion of time.�
The RCMP reminds residents to double-check any unsolicited service calls with the parent company before letting someone into their home.
Sales people should be able to provide a business licence.

Cape Town - The MURDER of Anene Booysen has captured the headlines, but the rape and murder of young women is happening all the time.
Yesterday, a Belhar man was sentenced to an effective 35 years for murdering and raping his 10-year-old stepdaughter last year.
Wesley Haman, 28, appeared in the Western Cape High Court for the rape and murder of Johnique Marthinus.
National Prosecuting Authority spokesman Eric Ntabazalila confirmed that there had been a plea bargain agreement under which Haman had confessed to the crimes and been sentenced.
Johnique's body was found under a tree on April 6.
On Saturday, the body of Audrey Bianca Green, 19, of Scottsville, was found in a drawer beneath a bunk bed.
A 21-year-old man has been arrested in connection with her murder and is due to appear in court soon.

Engaging enemies is as obsessively compulsive as ever in Firaxis's expansion.
Posted By Ravi Sinha | On 31st, Dec. 2013 Under Article, Reviews
XCOM: Enemy Within, as an expansion, fits the vibe of the original game. It's unassuming, understated and nuanced but give it half a chance and it will suck your life away. As a standalone game on the Xbox 360 and PS3, the Enemy Within looks to expand the original experience along with significantly adding to it, making for a completely new way to play Enemy Unknown and just a compelling strategy experience overall.
"Considering the deep research and weapon tiers already available, the addition of Meld upgrades brings an excellent new twist to the proceedings. Thankfully, Firaxis re-balanced the other skills equipment to account for these changes."
In Enemy Unknown, the campaign focused on the Aliens' introduction and subsequent invasion. In Enemy Within, the war for humanity is still underway and it's become more about making use of enemy resources to amp your troops up. Ethical and moral struggles arise, but hey, whatever kills the little buggers. Classified as Meld, these resources help add new abilities are unique yet integral to your normal skill tree.
You can equip soldiers with the ability to auto-detect foes, skin that makes invisible to enemy forces, regenerative health and much more. Meld will also grant soldiers the ability to perform super human feats such as leaping to rooftops and even upgrading to the new MEC class. Considering the deep research and weapon tiers already available, the addition of Meld upgrades brings an excellent new twist to the proceedings. Thankfully, Firaxis re-balanced the other skills equipment to account for these changes.
On the other hand, Meld isn't a risk-free reward. You'll need to gather it from canisters with self-destruct mechanisms in missions and that means forsaking cover and good logic just for the chance to upgrade. This encourages a more forward-thinking approach but you'll need to significantly balance real-time tactics with long-term strategy. After all, how useful will Meld be if you permanently lose half your squad?
"This choice of balancing between brute force and careful strategy is tantamount to success, so you'll need to work hard if you want a well-rounded squad."
But another wrench has been thrown into the works with the addition of the MEC class. A heavy unit with some serious fire power that's armour plated like a tank, you can sacrifice a few of your squad mates in the early going to upgrade a few to MECs. They can't take cover though and aren't as nimble at avoiding attacks like regular soldiers. This choice of balancing between brute force and careful strategy is tantamount to success, so you'll need to work hard if you want a well-rounded squad.
The Aliens – despite the presence of new units – aren't the only threats you'll have to worry about in Enemy Within. The Exalt is a human organization which packs much of the same equipment as XCOM and employs squad tactics to take you down. You'll be facing the Exalt over some fairly interesting missions, including a Horde-like survival mission against waves of troops.
It's a neat little twist and should challenge players, who are typically used to combating aliens, to test their skills on a squad of equals. The Aliens are still a significant threat, thanks to the addition of Seekers and Mechtoids, the former being a stealthy species that can pick off individual members of your squad undetected and the latter relying on heavy weaponry and shields to combat your firepower.
"If you had even the slightest bit of interest in the original game and want a familiar yet wholly involving and unique new take on the campaign that you loved before, Enemy Within comes highly recommended."
Many of the old issues with XCOM still remain, though they're significantly improved this time around. Bugs have been eliminated for the most part, though you'll encounter situations wherein you have a clear shot at enemies but they're displayed as being in cover. You're also a little restricted in terms of the different functions squad members can perform, since you need to rank them up to unlock their specialties.
It's a somewhat trial-and-error method wherein you need to choose a squad member and just hope that he has a unique set of skills for later. Meld tends to remedy some of these shortcomings and give a finer degree of control but it's more of an additional skill rather than a primary toolset in situations.
Otherwise, XCOM: Enemy Within is as addictive and involving as its predecessor. Once you begin a new game, you'll encounter different takes on familiar layouts along, 47 new maps, new story missions and objectives. It's still a battle to balance your fighting power with overall facility resources, one that tends to be daunting in the beginning, but which plateaus near the end-game.
Firaxis made the package even sweeter with Operation Progeny, which allows you to gain four psionic squad members but only if you successful defend your base against an enemy attack. If you had even the slightest bit of interest in the original game and want a familiar yet wholly involving and unique new take on the campaign that you loved before, Enemy Within comes highly recommended.
This game was reviewed on Xbox 360.
Expanded gameplay options. MECs are awesome. Fun new missions and enemies. Meld offers interesting twists and tactics.
Still some glitches with line of sight. Difficulty doesn't scale much near the end.
XCOM: Enemy Within is one of the better expansions to arrive in a long time and is an example of how to successfully revamp an entire game for the better.

text: Nominated for seven Academy Awards including Best Picture and Best Actor (Morgan Freeman), this film is an extraordinary tale of hope, friendship and survival inside a maximum security prison. Wrongly accused city banker Andy Dufresne (Tim Robbins) arrives at Shawshank Prison in 1947 after receiving a double life sentence for the brutal murders of his wife and her lover. He discovers that when they send you to Shawshank for life... thats exactly what they take. His quiet strength slowly earns him the respect and friendship of the prison fixer Red (Morgan Freeman). He also becomes popular with the warden and prison guards, as he is able to use his banking experience to help the corrupt officials amass fortunes. But Andys seemingly stoic acceptance of his unjust imprisonment hides a fierce determination for freedom and provides a unique chance to change his fate. This beautifully crafted movie features powerful performances from the entire cast and ultimately provides an uplifting message about the power of the human spirit and the value of hope.Check stock and price

From Yahoo Answers
Answers:1. A pseudocoelom is a body cavity located between the endoderm and the mesoderm? True: It is a body cavity between the mesoderm and endoderm. It has fluid and separates the outer body wall from the digestive tract. 2. When listed from simple to complex, echinoderms are the first animals to have an endoskeleton. False: From simple to complex, poriferans (sponges) are the first animals to have an endoskeleton - their endoskeleton is composed of calcium carbonate. 3. Most animals reproduce asexually. False: Most animals reproduce with the use of gametes, like spermatozoa and ova. 4. Sponges have well-defined tissues. False: Sponges have masses of cells which are NOT organized into definite tissues. 5. The bodies of sponges completely lack symmetry True: They do not possess any degree of symmetry. Some experts like to think they exhibit radial symmetry, but most still disagree.
Answers:In a lot of states, only a medical professional can do an actual cavity search, which means they physically go into the body cavity, anus or vagina. They will put on rubber gloves and use Vaseline or K. Y. jelly, lube their fingers up and go in search for any contraband. Now if you're talking about a strip search, that is different. I'm a former correctional officer in a men's prison and when we did a body/strip search we start off by having of the inmates totally stripped naked, open their mouth, lifting their tongues up, moving them around, pulling up their cheeks and lips to show their gums. They would then hold the arms up and out and sometimes officers, wearing gloves would run their hands on the arms and under arm area as well as possibly run their hands through in inmates hair on the head. If an inmate was overweight and had flabs of fat, we would ask them to lift up their fat to see the things hidden underneath it. They would then be required to lift up their penis and testicles and men will be required to turn around and bend over and at that point, they would spread their legs, spread their butt cheeks apart and would be told to forcefully cough two or three times fairly hard. This usually loosens up with anything that may be in their anal cavity and cause it possibly to dislodge. They would then have to show the soles of their feet and spread their toes apart. But, there is nothing more gross to see a severely overweight guy with a lot of flab on him have to lift up his fat rolls and show there's nothing hidden underneath it. Also nothing more gross than having an inmate spread his butt cheeks and see the crack all filled with toilet paper! Hope that answered your question!
