TALLAHASSEE — Behind in fundraising and virtually unknown to many voters, chief financial officer candidate Loranne Ausley is trying to tar her opponent with nearly every questionable move made by the Legislature.
At news conferences across the state, Ausley argues that Senate President Jeff Atwater shares some blame for scandals such as an opulent new courthouse in the state capital and the Legislature's failure to audit lobbyist disclosure reports.
"I'm running against Senate President Jeff Atwater — pretty much the poster child for everything that is wrong with Tallahassee," said Ausley, a former four-term House member.
Atwater of North Palm Beach has generally shied away from attacking his opponent, saying such talk is not healthy.
"We have not taken the time to hold press conferences to characterize any of Loranne Ausley's votes because it's not a solution to what the voters are suffering from," he said. "And there are plenty of votes I could have a field day characterizing."
Some of Ausley's attacks include:
• Criticizing Atwater for voting for a $33.5 million bond issue to help build a new courthouse for the 1st District Court of Appeal, a building dubbed a "Taj Mahal" because of its ornate furnishings. The measure was slipped into an unrelated transportation bill on the last day of the 2007 session.
Atwater, who was not Senate president at the time, says he simply voted for the bond and that the construction details were handled by the court system and the state building agency. "Apparently I personally went out and hand-built the 1st DCA building," he said.
• Calling on Atwater to investigate a top legislator, Senate Majority Leader Alex Diaz de la Portilla, R-Miami, after the Times/Herald reported that Diaz de la Portilla sided with a prison vendor in a contract dispute only days after the vendor wrote a $15,000 campaign check to the senator's brother. The contractor said someone from his organization visited the offices of the majority leader, the governor, and Atwater about the contract dispute.
An Atwater spokesman said he could find no record of the contractor visiting the Senate president's office.
• Chiding Atwater and the Legislature for not auditing, as required by law, reports showing what lobbyists earn from interest groups. The Atwater campaign says lawmakers made a good-faith effort to implement the auditing provision. Atwater's chief of staff says the law was written such that it makes it nearly impossible for a Florida firm to perform the audits.
Ausley's strategy is part of a larger effort by the Democratic Party to tie Republicans to several recent scandals in Tallahassee. The party has set up a coordinated campaign to reach out to voters on behalf of all statewide Democrats.
Democrats hope that, come Election Day, voters will remember stories such as the indictment of ex-House Speaker Ray Sansom, former Republican party boss Jim Greer's arrest and free-spending Republican Party leaders with Amex cards.
But Atwater adviser Rick Wilson dismissed that tactic, saying the Republican is running an issues-based race and not one "based on the cheap political stunt of the day."
The relatively low-key Atwater campaign launched its first attack last week, calling Ausley a hypocrite because she had sponsored a bill to exempt some meals from the lobbyist gift ban law, which also includes the auditing provision. Ausley's bill would have allowed legislators to accept meals up to $19 at certain events hosted by professional groups, including lobbyists.
Ausley spokesman Kevin Cate said "there's a clear line of distinction between ignoring the law and trying to make a law better." He added that all the meals would have been fully disclosed and that they would have allowed lawmakers to be better engaged with their constituents.
A Sept. 20-22 survey by Mason-Dixon Polling and Research shows the race in a statistical dead heat, with Atwater garnering 29 percent of the vote and Ausley grabbing 27 percent. Nearly 40 percent of voters are undecided.
But Ausley is little known (that poll shows that three-quarters of voters don't recognize her) and Atwater has long held a fundraising edge. The latest campaign finance totals show Atwater with almost $3.2 million on hand while Ausley has banked a little more than $1.1 million.

text: TORONTO—Toronto Raptors GM Bryan Colangelo announced Friday that his team had signed 6-foot-11 Slovenian forward Uros Slokar, a man Colangelo called "very tall, especially when you consider the height of a normal human being." "The average height of a Canadian male is 5 feet 10 inches, and as you can see, Uros far exceeds that," an excited Colangelo said. "I think Uros will fit right in with the other uncommonly tall men we have on our team." Colangelo added that exceptional height is the main, and sometimes only, quality he looks for in his basketball players.

This is what Buffalo sports teams do when math is against them, something I alluded to whilst predicting Buffalo would win 31-13 after last week's dumpster fire in Indianapolis. For some reason — perhaps ancient curse? — when the Bills or Sabres record dips to a level seemingly beyond logical and mathematical rebound, they put up world-beating performances.
That said, the Jaguars are far from a quality operation, even after beating the Titans last week and hanging with the Texans before that. Buffalo handled its business after going down briefly, 10-7. The Bills record improves to 5-7, leaving tiny glimmers of playoff hope thanks to an AFC that refuses to sort itself out.
— The Bills ran wild over the jungle cats, with Fred Jackson going over 100 yards in getting the lion's share of the work (in a week, oddly enough, where he told the media Chan Gailey told him he'd be the No. 2 back to C.J. Spiller). The Clemson back, playing in front of his former coach Dabo Swinney, also ripped off a number of good runs as Buffalo methodically pounded, inside and out, the Jaguars defense. The rush opened up play action for Ryan Fitzpatrick, who didn't really need it. Fitz's receivers refused to help him out on a number of occasions, featuring drops by Scott Chandler — a troubling development this season — and Stevie Johnson. It rained throughout the first half, but the gloves… they are sticky. No excuses will be made for professional wide receivers in this space.
— The referee crew was flag-happy, much to the chagrin of former WIVB reporter and current UB Bulls play-by-play man Paul Peck. In the booth, Peck pointed out that pass interference calls downfield have begun to account for more yardage than actual passing. There's a bit of rhetoric there, but there's also underlying truth.
— As pointed out over the past few weeks of Immediate Reactions, Stephon Gilmore is looking every bit as good as his draft position in this pass-happy National Football League, but is the Bills future No. 2 corner coming from the same draft. Ron Brooks has done some very nice things considering the time he spent out with injuries and that he was behind Mo Claiborne, Patrick Peterson and Tyrann Mathieu at Louisiana State University.
- — Brooks leveled Cecil Shorts with eight minutes to go in the fourth quarter, a hit that turned scary as Shorts ducked to avoid contact and appeared to be knocked nearly senseless. The Bills trainers gesticulated wildly to the Jaguars sidelines and Jacksonville's trainers raced to the downed receiver, but fortunately Shorts was up and off the field on his own power.
- — Chad Henne was 18-of-41, No. 41 being Jairus Byrd's fifth interception of the season. The performance looked very Losmanian: a few terrific throws sprinkled amongst a lot of meh.
- — Perhaps the playcalling is to blame, after all. No one will make this mistake of saying the R in Ryan stands for Rocket-arm, but for the third-consecutive weeks the Bills quarterback took several shots down the field and connected. This time it was rookie wide receiver T.J. Graham, the draft pick selected for the skill set of a speed merchant. It went for 51 yards and led to Fitzpatrick's rushing touchdown, one of three TDs on the day for No. 14. He added two through the air. It's the third-straight year with 20 or more passing touchdowns for Fitzpatrick.
- — Know what's screwy? The Steelers and Bengals, each 6-6 heading into today, still play each other & both have Baltimore left (in Pittsburgh's case, today). The Buffalo Bills could technically be in the thick of it. Just imagine if Gailey and Co. hadn't went gaffe-tastic versus Tennessee, New England, Indy…
Stat line I liked…
Bills tailbacks, 39 carries, 186 yards, TD
— Still want to see more carries given to C.J. Spiller rather than the kindergarten "It's his turn" mentality, but the Bills chewed up the Jaguars a carry at a time.
Stat line I didn't like…
Bills penalties, nine for 100 yards.
— Honestly, there isn't a terrible amount to dislike. The Bills comfortably beat a bad football team. That's kinda what they do.
Game ball(s)…
The offensive line
– Holes for days. Jackson deserves a game ball, but a hippo couldn't run untouched through several of the openings. Gaps and fits, blah blah blah.
– Dominant, as they should be. The game brings great anguish to the won-loss record in a weak, shallow AFC.
Next week…
– Enter the Rams. I hate saying this, but I expect Jeff Fisher to simply outcoach Chan Gailey. Will it be enough for the young Rams on the road? I don't think so. Talent over trade as Buffalo wins 24-20.

BWW Reviews: Standing Room Only Productions' DEFY GRAVITY: A STEPHEN SCHWARTZ SONGBOOK is a Joyous Celebration
Oh what a joyous celebration it is. I could not help but to be excited as I sat down and prepared myself for Standing Room Only Productions' DEFY GRAVITY: A STEPHEN SCHWARTZ SONGBOOK. Tony nominated, Academy Award and Grammy winner Stephen Schwartz has created music and lyrics for some of the classics in which we all know and love.
For over four decades, his musical career has brought to life hit musicals such as Godspell, The Baker's Wife and Wicked, as well as music in some of our favorite films such as Pocahontas, The Prince of Egypt and Enchanted. In honor and celebration of this brilliant composer, DEFY GRAVITY was conceived by Michael J. Bobbitt with musical arrangement by John Cornelius ll. Together, they have created a musical revue comprised of 28 songs which takes the audience on a journey through many of Schwartz's classics in the realm of musicals and film.
DEFY GRAVITY opens the gateway for a good time with a robust rendition of The Spark of Creation (Children of Eden). Under the direction of Roy Hamlin, the talented cast of 10 brings to life each song as they embody the song's meaning and spirit in each scene. Each performer shows refined vocal prowess. Whether in a number all together or a number featuring just a few, everyone exudes the exuberance and tenacity to tickle that sweet spot in your brain responsible for happiness.
Cornelius' arrangement style is interesting. Many of the musical numbers are familiar, but they are served up with a twist. Quite a few mélanges are created with Schwartz's musical pieces. For example, Popular (Wicked) is combined with True Love's Kiss (Enchanted). Together they are delivered with a fun doo-wop vibe. There is also a breathtaking combination of Defying Gravity (Wicked) with Corner of the Sky (Godspell). A quite intriguing rendition of Day by Day from Godspell was sung in multiple languages.
DEFY GRAVITY is a show that features so many gems that it is difficult for me to have a favorite. I liked everything from Ronna Mansfield's passionate deliverance of Blame it on the Summer Night (Rags) to the razzle dazzle performance of Solid Silver Platform Shoes (The Magic Show) by Mansfield, Sydney Roberts, Robin Van Zandt, Taylor Siebeneicher and Michael Stewart.
One of Schwartz's lesser known works that really stands out is Eduardo Alberto Tercero's powerfully hearting warming rendition of Cold Enough to Snow (Life with Mickey). Personally, it is a song that I have never given much thought. However, after hearing Tercero sing, it definitely left something to be remembered. In addition to that, I have to say that The Colors of the Wind (Pocahontas) is quite outstanding. It features the entire cast and is just a raw and awe-inspiring piece. The cast accompanies their melodic voices around the theatre by also performing the song in sign language. Something so simple has such big impact on adding emotion to the song.
The design aspect of DEFY GRAVITY is well thought out. The band does a great job not overshadowing singing and their accompaniment is enjoyable. The lighting design by Vance Johnson is effective and does much to help contribute to the persona of each scene. I very much appreciated the beige and white theme of the costume design by Elaine Steinbach. It just seemed very refreshing and helped keep the atmosphere light and cheery. Choreography by Kristin Warren is outstanding. With an array of different dance styles, the performers adequately fill up the theatre's performance space. With the intimate setting at Obsidian Art Space, I felt as if I were a part of the magic happening on stage.
Standing Room Only Production's DEFY GRAVITY is a celebration for sure. With an endearing and talented ensemble, they will take you on an enjoyably fun journey through the music of legendary American composer and lyricist Stephen Swartz. If you're looking to be entertained, go out and see this musical revue. Full of dance and familiar songs, albeit with a twist, you surely will not be disappointed.
Standing Room Only's production of DEFY GRAVITY runs July 17- August 2. For tickets and more information go to http://www.sro-productions.com.

Hair Loss After
- bpmspqny
- Nyack, NY
- Last updated: 1 year ago
I am 59 yrs old. I have never had thick thick hair but have always considered to have healthy hair with alot of shine and enough volume to be satisfied (providing I didn't let the length get too long). I didn't color my hair until my late 20's and then I reached a point where I had to dye it. I went blonde and highlighted for a while. Since I have light olive skin and blue eyes with a warm complextion, I never thought I was suited to be a blonde. Besides that blonde gives the appearance of less hair.I went back to a darker color and the colorist I was going nailed the color for me. I told her "That's it....love, love, love it". The very next month she announces she was changing product lines (I go to her home), Since then (last March) I have been miserable. She colored my hair this horrible brown with too much ash, gave me "hot roots". There is only so much time I can give her to redo it. To fix her dye jobs I had a color glaze placed over her color to try to achieve my ultimate perfect hair color. I went to another salon for the color glaze application and within 5 minutes my whole head was itching. After this visit I noticed I was loosing an abnormal amount of hair every time I washed it. I'm so tired of people telling me I wash it too much, I do too much to it because I don't. I am also a gym rat and need to keep my hair at a length where I can put it up and always have my hair tied back in a pony tail. The research I've done on this topic tells me both the pony tail and the chemicals can cause "alopecia, or thinning of hair". So can hormones, Right now my hair has lost so much volume I don't know what to do. I did purchase the coloring powder that Joan River's sells. It's root coloring time, I need to find a suitable colorist because my hair is black, red, blonde, pink, and grey and oh yeah..,,.bald. I've lost volume all over, I bought the biotin but read afterward you must be pretty damn sick to have a deficiency in the biotin type vitamins. I cannot afford a hair transplant, the thickening shampoos are alot of hype. I just don't know what to do!!!! Is there anyone out there with a similar problem?

MINAYO, Maria Cecília de Souza and DESLANDES, Suely Ferreira. Analysis of the implantation of the healthcare network for victims of accidents and violence following the guidelines of the National Policy for the Reduction of Morbidity and Mortality from Violence and Accidents. Ciênc. saúde coletiva [online]. 2009, vol.14, n.5, pp.1641-1649. ISSN 1678-4561. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S1413-81232009000500002.
In this article we problematize the results of an investigation entitled "Diagnostic Analysis of the National Policy for Reduction of Morbidity and Mortality from Accidents and Violence (PNRMVA)" and present some thoughts for discussion. Based on a quantitative and qualitative analysis of the implantation of this policy in five Brazilian state capitals - Recife, Rio de Janeiro, Manaus, Curitiba and Brasília and vicinities - along with the participation of local academic institutions we performed a diagnosis of the situation. The article presents evaluative information regarding: the profile of morbidity and mortality from accidents and violence; the adequacy of mobile and fixed pre-hospital emergency services, hospital services and rehabilitation services to preventing the described epidemiological profile; the training of the professionals dealing with these traumas; surveillance and monitoring of violence and accidents as well as support for studies and investigations into the issue. Aimed at proposing a debate, the article concludes raising questions about the advances made in the implementation of the policy, about the fragilities of the system and about the possibilities for an efficient implementation of the PNRMVA guidelines.

Exmouth coach speaks after defeat to Dings Crusaders leaves Cockles well adrift at the foot of the table
PUBLISHED: 11:25 22 January 2014 | UPDATED: 11:25 22 January 2014
Exmouth coach John Hill spoke after the defeat to Dings Crusaders.
He began by saying: "The game ended in disaster for us. It was hard to take for we had done so much hard work in difficult conditions to put ourselves in a position to win an important game. There are no hiding places from the fact that we left ourselves a fair amount to do having gone into a 15 point deficit with five minutes remaining in the first half. It pretty much characterised our season to date when their second row decided to kick the ball which we charged down and the charge down landed directly in their wingers hands standing ten-metres away and he promptly ran 50-metres unopposed to score in the corner!"
He continued: "This, along with a very good shout for another penalty try for ourselves, and at least a sin-binning for any one of a number of the Dings players for repeated offences inside their own 22, we felt slightly aggrieved with. It does seem we get more than our fair share of things go against us at crucial times. That said, however, we only have ourselves to blame for not converting pressure into points when we were camped on their try line for good 15 minutes spell in the second half at 18-12 down. We failed to execute a driving maul when pouring forward, we lost control of a five-metre scrum when going forward, and we dropped the ball over the try line when we had rumbled 20 metres forward with our pack."
"These were all crucial areas of the game where we made critical errors at a massively important time. We lacked a little composure and also a level of accuracy in our play that could and should have seen us take the game when we have the opportunity to grasp it with both hands. We will certainly be working on our strike rate in the final third in training this week in preparation for what can now only be described as a must win period of two games, away at Shelford, and at home to Redruth."
"Credit must go to the officials for allowing the game to take place, and also for allowing it to flow wherever possible. Of course in those difficult conditions it would have been very difficult to recognise who was who at times! We are of course somewhat disappointed with one or two decisions that did not go our way. What we have to do is improve the things that we can control, and that certainly would be our ability to convert pressure into points which has cost us vital points in recent weeks, as well as the season as a whole."
On the subject of the Cockles trying to fit in the Devon Cup tie with Barnstaple, Hill said: ""We shall await information from the Devon RFU regarding the senior cup and appreciate that it is a very difficult time for all involved due to the number of cancellations. I note that Barnstaple were cancelled again on Saturday and there's very few available dates. I think myself and Steve Perry (Barnstaple RFC coach) will just have to have a boat race with a pint of ale to decide on who goes through!"

As part of the economic package presented on 8 September 2015 to the Mexican Congress by the Executive Branch, there are proposals that reflect initiatives of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). The proposals in Mexico would align certain tax provisions with international trends—specifically, the proposals for country-by-country reporting and common reporting standard (CRS).
The country-by-country reporting proposals generally follow the OECD's base erosion and profit shifting (BEPS) Action 13, and in Mexico, would add article 76-A to the Mexican income tax law. This would apply to taxpayers that, among other items, in the prior tax year, reported profits equal to or greater than approximately MX $645 million (about U.S. $38.6 million); that apply for the "optional regime" for corporate groups; or are foreign legal entities with permanent establishments in Mexico. Read about the country-by-country reporting proposals in TaxNewsFlash-Transfer Pricing.
The CRS proposals would provide rules and requirements for financial institutions or legal entities in Mexico to share certain financial information. Read about the CRS proposals in TaxNewsFlash-FATCA.

- RE/MAX reports earnings.
- IPO costs contribute to drop in net income.
- EBITDA rises 15%.
Denver-based RE/MAX Holdings added agents and revenues last year, but experienced a 15 percent drop in net income in 2013 from 2012, in part because of one-time expenses of going public.
However, by other financial metrics, the giant real estate franchise company founded in Denver 41 years ago, showed improvements on a year-over-year basis as well as in the fourth quarter of 2013, compared with the fourth quarter of 2012, RE/MAX reported last week.
RE/MAX also filed a proxy statement last week that showed CEO Margaret Kelly made $2.5 million: $770,000 in salary, almost $1.26 million stock awards, $460,462 in non-equity incentive compensation and $11,500 in other compensation.
In 2012, she made $2.1 million.
Dave Liniger, the co-founder and chairman of RE/MAX, made $1.58 million in salary in 2013, down from the 24.6 percent from the $2.1 million he was paid in 2012.
RE/MAX discontinued paying a salary after the company went public last October.
Liniger and is wife, Gail, own 17.73 million shares of RE/MAX, valued at $515.4 million. Their holdings gives them 60.44 percent of the total shares and 75.34 percent of the voting power.
RE/MAX last Friday fell 4.3 percent to $29.12, which is about 3.6 percent lower than where it closed after its first trading day last year. However, it is up about 32.4 percent from its opening price of $22.
Financial highlights for RE/MAX in 2013 compared with 2012 include:
- Total agent count at year-end was 93,228, up 4.7 percent compared to the prior year;
- Revenue of $158.9 million, rose 10.6 percent from $143.7million;
- Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, was $77.3 million, up 15.8 percent;
- Adjusted EBITDA margin was 48.6 percent, compared with 46.5 percent 2012;
- And RE/MAX announced a first quarterly dividend of $0.0625 per share of Class A common stock.
Fourth quarter highlights include:
- Revenue of $40.2 million, up 14.7 percent compared to the fourth quarter of 2012;
- Adjusted EBITDA of $18.5 million, up 3.7 percent;
- Adjusted EBITDA margin was 46.0 percent compared to 50.9 percent in the fourth quarter of 2012
- And the successful completion of initial public offering in October.
"For the second year in a row, we grew agent count, revenue and our adjusted EBITDA margin from the prior year," Kelly said in a Securities and Exchange Commission filing.
"Our highly productive agents capitalized on the recovering housing market in 2013, enabling us to perform extremely well," Kelley continued. "In addition, we acquired regional franchise rights for the Southwest and Central Atlantic regions, consistent with our strategy to drive enhanced profitability."
Kelly said the company plans to build on its success this year.
"At RE/MAX, we understand success is driven by people and relationships," Kelly said, in the SEC filing. "In 2014, we will continue our relentless efforts to provide our network of agents and brokers with innovative tools and ideas, so they are able to connect with more buyers and sellers.
"We will also continue to promote the benefits of our agent-centric model to attract productive agents to the RE/MAX family," she added.
The company said its 10.6 percent increase in revenues was due to growth in the number of agents as well as higher broker fee revenues due to a rise in commissions from increased home sales and prices.
Also, the company generated additional fee revenues by acquiring the RE/MAX of Texas region in December 2012 and the Southwest and Central Atlantic regions last October.
Revenue was $40.2 million for the fourth quarter 2013, up 14.7 percent from the same period in 2012 due to the same revenue drivers that increased full year 2013 revenue.
The company's fixed recurring revenue streams, which include annual dues and continuing franchise fees, accounted for 59.2 percent of the its annual revenues in 2013 and 59.3 percent of 2012 revenues. Annual dues, which are fixed fees paid by agents directly to RE/MAX, rose 2.1 percent to $29.5 million compared to the prior year due to growth in agent count.
Continuing franchise fees, a fixed fee per agent paid by each regional franchise owner in independent regions or each franchisee in Company-owned regions, were $64.5 million, up 14.4 percent over the prior year.
Total operating expenses were $111.8 million for 2013, $13.7 million higher than in 2012 mainly due to one-time initial public offering related expenses, amortization expense associated with the acquisition of the Texas, Southwest and Central Atlantic regions, increased personnel costs associated with the acquisitions and the activities related to being a public company.
Total operating expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2013 were $30.6 million, an increase of $5.5 million from the same period in 2012 due to the same reasons that increased operating expense for the full year 2013.
Net income for 2013 fell to $28.3 million from $33.32 million from 2012, due primarily to increased interest expense and losses associated with the early extinguishment and refinancing of debt, one-time expenses related to the IPO, losses associated with foreign currency transactions and increased amortization expense associated with the acquisition of the Texas, Southwest and Central Atlantic regions, the company said.
Reported net income was $5.6 million for the fourth quarter 2013., compared with $7.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2012, a 21.6 percent decline.
However, adjusted net income increased by 18.6 percent to $37.9 million in 2013 and grew by 8.2 percent to $9.4 million in the fourth quarter.
Last Friday, Kelly appeared on CNBC and said that home prices in Colorado and Texas are at or above where they were before the recession, while other states such as Arizona and Florida are still about 20 percent below where they were during the previous peaks prior to the recession.
Nationally, she said there is a 5.6 month supply of unsold homes, while a 6-month supply is considered one in equilibrium between buyers and sellers.
In the Denver area, inventory levels are about half that national levels.

Some Parents Upset Over FDA's Plan B Age Approval
Lynchburg, VA - The Food and Drug Administration has approved the availability of the Plan B One-Step contraception pill for women 15 and older without a prescription or a parent's permission.
Some parents are concerned with the moral aspect, and others are more worried about the safety of the pill for teens that are so young.
"Being 15 that's just too young. I would want to be the one to make that choice for her," said Mary King, a parent.
Earlene Fleshman believes a parent should make the decision to buy the pill.
"We need to discuss it first to make sure it was safe because if it has any side effects. If they don't go to school because their stomach is hurting then the mother would have an idea of what's going on," she said.
Dr. Lewis Dabney is a Gynecologist and says when it comes to Plan B One-Step, age does not matter.
"There are lots of medicines available over the counter and this is probably safer than they are," he said.
Dabney says the pill is very safe and side effects are minimal.
"The biggest thing is nausea and the nausea rate is 18 % and the rate of people actually throwing up is only about 4% so it's very well tolerated," said Dabney.
Dabney said as a doctor, he's in favor for it.
"Absolutely." Women want access to birth control," he said.
Though some need time warming up to the idea, others call this move by the FDA a step in the right direction.
"This is something that can help someone that has made a mistake and has done something they should not have done," said David Ford, a parent.
Dabney says Plan B One-Step is not an abortion pill and will not terminate or hurt a current pregnancy.

Palma de Mallorca, Spain, 2011/07/28 - The 128 room hotel is located in the tourist resort of Nessebar, in the south of the Black Sea - Solmelia.com.
Meliá Hotels International has recently announced the opening of its sixth hotel in Bulgaria. The Sol Marina Palace is a four star resort with 128 rooms located in Nessebar and strengthens the Spanish hotel companys hotel portfolio in one of the most popular tourist destinations in the Balkans. The region has seen a significant rise in the number of visitors in the past few years, attracted by the cultural attractions and beautiful Black Sea beaches.
The hotel opened in 2004 and will be added to the Meliá Hotels International portfolio under a management agreement and will begin operations in summer 2012 under the Sol Hotels resort brand, joining the other resorts Sol Hotels in the area.

Canada's men's ice hockey team won their third Olympic gold medal in four Winter Games with a 3-0 victory over Sweden in the final.
The Canadians had skated by in their semi-final win over the United States but showed greater conviction yesterday as Jonathan Toews, captain Sidney Crosby and Chris Kunitz scored to secure a worthy win.
There was an act of impertinence early on from the Swedes as Carl Hagelin struck a post but this was slapped away like an errant puck. Patrice Bergeron also hit a post before his Canadian side went ahead after 2 minutes and 55 seconds of the first period.
Loading article content
Toews, the 25-year-old Chicago Blackhawks captain, put them in front following an assist from Jeff Carter. Crosby, who grabbed the gold-medal winning goal in a unforgettable sudden-death final victory over the USA in Vancouver four years ago, then made it 2-0 when he raced clear on the break and clipped the puck into the net.
Canada continued to press forward and Kunitz flashed the puck into the net to confirm the gold.
It is often the case that defeated teams will come to value their silver medals in time, although the more immediate concern for Sweden was the fate of Nicklas Backstrom, the forward who missed the final with Canada after testing positive for a banned substance.
The team doctor last night insisted that the substance was pseudoephedrine, contained in a pill he had been taking for many years, with Backstrom similarly certain of his innocence. "I've got nothing to hide," he said.

I love it for many reasons, but the main one is the CD. I love that all the lists can be printed from the CD. There is also a wealth of information in the book. Timelines, countries with capitals, area and volume equations, biblical timelines and information as well as suggested chores by ages. The lists of useful info could go on forever, but you get the general idea. Great reference source and easy to use.
Debbie Shaffer5 Stars Out Of 5May 27, 2008Debbie ShafferIf only this book had been published years ago! Better late than never...I have not discovered a book in my nine years of homeschooling that is the greatest, most invaluable treasure as a resource and reference book for everything you could possibly need for teaching. These "lists" are quick and concise. They allow you to follow and prepare for timelines on any or refer to pertinent information gleaned from all core topics. I am certain I am going to wear out my copy long before I am finished homeschooling!
Alison Dempster5 Stars Out Of 5February 22, 2008Alison DempsterWOW! I wondered if such a book existed, then found this. This book is a GREAT compilation of information at your fingertips. Would and have already recommended it to many of my homeschooling friends. It's really cool.

GOLF ROUNDUP; Mahan Finishes With 62 To Hold Clubhouse Lead
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Published: June 22, 2007
Hunter Mahan, who finished second here last year, shot an eight-under-par 62 yesterday to take the clubhouse lead at the Travelers Championship before play was suspended with 39 golfers still on the course.
Mahan's round was one stroke off the course record. It was his sixth consecutive round in the 60s at the T.P.C. at River Highlands in Cromwell, Conn.
''It's one of the courses that you look at it and you feel comfortable,'' he said. ''There's not really a shot here that I worry about.''
Mahan shot a 31 on his first nine holes, made a par at No. 10, then birdied his next four holes.
A rain delay lasting more than an hour did not seem to bother him, as he came back out and birdied No. 17.
''I hit my driver great, put the ball in play,'' he said. ''I hit a lot of good irons and wedges.
''I hit a ton of good golf shots today. But it's just the first round. We've got a long way to go.''
Mahan's round tied his best ever, which was in the third round of the 2003 Valero Texas Open.
His previous best this year was a second-round 65 at the Buick Invitational.
He has had two top-10 finishes this year, but has never won on the PGA Tour.
''If I can build on my score from today, I feel I have a pretty good shot,'' he said.
The course record is 61. It is held by four players, including Phil Mickelson.
Chris DiMarco, who has not won on the Tour since 2002, was in second place, two shots back. The defending champion, J. J. Henry, shot a 68. Zach Johnson shot a 71, and Vijay Singh finished with a 68.
CHANGE AT HOPE CLASSIC The Arnold Palmer Classic Course at SilverRock Resort in La Quinta, Calif., has been added to the rotation of sites used in the five-day Bob Hope Classic, the tournament's organizers said yesterday.
The course will make its debut at next year's tournament, which will be held from Jan. 16-20.
SilverRock Resort's addition to the rotation was approved by the PGA Tour's tournament policy board last week.
The Arnold Palmer Classic Course will join the Classic Club, La Quinta Country Club and the Palmer Private course at PGA West as sites for the 2008 edition.
Bermuda Dunes Country Club, a permanent fixture in the rotation since the popular pro-am celebrity tournament began in 1960, will be omitted next year before returning to the rotation in 2009.
KERR LEADS Cristie Kerr opened with a six-under-par 66 yesterday to take a one-stroke lead in the storm-delayed Wegmans L.P.G.A. in Pittsford, N.Y.
Alena Sharp, showing steady progress in her third year on the Tour, had seven birdies and two bogeys to shoot a 67.
She was one shot ahead of Suzann Pettersen. Lorena Ochoa was tied for fourth at three under with Brittany Lincicome and Mi Hyun Kim.
The defending champion, Jiang Jang, carded a 71, and the 50-year-old Hall of Famer Nancy Lopez, who is playing a limited schedule this year, finished with an 82.
A midafternoon thunderstorm stopped play for a little more than two hours.

i "frickin" hate todd so much, that guys such an idiot. since season 1 he's been the monkey wrench in the whole operation that messes everything up. he's a big mouth who makes poor decisions, his speeches have turned from motivation to manipulation. people tell him his decisions are bad ideas but he's to selfish to listen which always ends badly, SPOILER ALERT... dave says dont do the lower cut cause the guys need to be watching the plant, then the plant breaks because todd over loads it with no one around to act quickly. then the guys tell him to lighten the loads so it wont break, and this douch has the balls to say "if it breaks then it breaks" like SERIOUSLY TODD? you already messed up your plant and now your gonna come over and mess there's up? potentially destroying everyone else's chance of actually making a profit cause your to stupid to deviate from your ridiculous "1000 ounce" goal... dave has even less experience then todd when it comes to gold mining and yet him and his crew were the only ones who got all the gold. do you know why? because dave is not a freaking idiot... but here comes todd ready to mess things up again. i truly hope they drop todd from the team and the show and hand the reigns over to dave, so the viewers and the crews can finally see some productivity instead of drama and stupidity. sorry i just had to pause the video and vent a little bit... its just so frustrating to see the stupid leading the blind.5 years ago

does anyone know why the uk doesnt see any free links like vidbull/putlocker etc anymore, ive emailed the site admin but they just ignore me.5 years ago
@fuzz62 I think you misunderstood me, If i was able to post links here without an error then i would have posted them already.5 years ago
Each time i try it gives me an error. I am not being high and mighty and I understand most people outside the USA cannot buy these shows as I myself do not live in the states.
hd source released google to find links as posting a link here gives me an error5 years ago
Its hard to buy and record it for some as we are not in north america, we value others that share and take the time to put it out their, but alas less we forget some think we are the same as them. Sorry friend, we are not.5 years ago
why do you not take the time to share a link to others around the globe instead of the high and mighty approach?
As you know most sites to purchase streams from as itunes, google etc wont allow proxys to use the site.
putlocker links aren't banned its just this site has errors when posting links most of the time now-days.5 years ago
If you cared to not waste time bitching about lack of links here and did a quick Google search for the title then you would find around 5 putlocker links in the first 4 results on Google.
unfortunately these arent better quality than links already found here however its my opinion that the sockshare and putlocker servers are faster to stream from than most others around.
Theres no HD source available yet for this episode if you don't like to watch it in SD then buy it from Google play, amazon or itunes in HD. Oh and be sure to record it and upload to your neighborhood torrent or file-share site for others to enjoy!
Yeah......... lets all complain about a free resource that costs most people a perpetual monetary endeavor. Lets not even factor in the amount of time and effort that people put into uploading/recording/encoding all these videos. Or even the people who scour for links to post them here. I've never seen so many ungrateful people >.>5 years ago
Must be much easier to just bitch and complain though

Ask an Eye Doctor and Get an Answer ASAP
Hello and thanks for your question. I can certainly understand your angst. Have you been having any headaches, cramping in your jaw when you chew your food, or tenderness in your scalp?
no not at all
Did you have any shimmering lights in your vision associated with this vision loss? How about noticeable irritability, nausea, sensitivity to bright lights or loud noises?
none of the above,
Can you please describe for me how your vision went black. How long did it take from the moment you realized something was happening until it went completely out? Did the vision just gradually fuzz out, or did it seem as though a curtain was being drawn over your vision?
curtain, took less than 10 seconds, and returned the same way. absolute blackness.
What were the results of the echocardiogram and the carotid ultrasound?
I assume the echocardiogram was performed with the probe placed on your chest as opposed to a camera/tube down your throat, is that correct?
I have an echo done yrly due to my artificial aorta valve, last one was Dec 09,this echo was same result, no changes. yes probe on chest.
Have you been having fevers, chills, weight loss or night sweats? How about episodes of double vision or changes in vision otherwise?
none of the above
are you there?
There are two entities that should be addressed, both of which could cause the symptoms you have described. One of them is an inflammation of blood vessels called Giant Cell Arteritis or Temporal Arteritis. This inflammation of blood vessels can cause catastrophic medical problems to include blindness, strokes and heart attacks. Fortunately, through your history, it does not sound likely, but that doesn't rule it out. For this reason, drawing the ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate) and a C-reactive protein (CRP) would shed some light on this. If both of these tests are stone cold normal, then the chances of this being from Giant Cell Arteritis are next to none. Second, this could be due to a cardioembolic phenomenon. Classical causes of emboli that could end up in the circulation for the eye include the carotid arteries and the heart. Since you have an artificial aortic valve, that is a prime suspect. Also, even though the carotid ultrasound may have been "normal", this interpretation by a radiologist would likely be framed in the light of near-complete occlusion of the inside of the blood vessel versus atherosclerotic disease (cholesterol) that was there, but not in any danger of closing off. That is usually the reason why a carotid ultrasound is done, to determine whether there is a distinct chance of the vessel closing off. In your case, even if the vessel is 50% occluded with cholesterol plaque, it may still be a viable source of a clump of cholesterol breaking off and making its way to the arterial circulation of the eye, even though the carotid artery would be "normal" from the standpoint of not being close to occlusion. For this reason, I think there are two things which potentially should be done. First, a dilated retinal examination by an ophthalmologist is a good idea because if there are embolic plaques that are seen in the blood vessels in the retina, then this could give a clue as to the origin of the plaque and direct the workup in a more circumspect fashion--these plaques are not always or even commonly seen in these exams, but they can be seen in some. Second, the other test to consider doing to rule out a possible vegetation or valve problem would be a trans-esophageal echocardiogram, which involves putting a camera-tube down the throat to get a closer and more sensitive view of the heart--it may provide a better view of the heart valve. Otherwise, I think that the other things that have been done have been right, with the exception of having the dilated retinal examination.
Sorry; it took me a while to type all of that.
yes I figured you were typing but wanted to make sure we didnt loose the connection. Well, thank you, ***** ***** will give me knowledge to take further steps, I did not know what to ask of my doctors, now I have an idea. What about brain tumors?
Brain tumors usually do not cause this type of transient visual loss which is termed amaurosis fugax. While anything is possible in medicine, I would not suspect that at all.
Does that address your concern?
I am happy to be able to help you today. If you would be so kind, please help me get credit for my efforts in answering your questions and press the ACCEPT button for this encounter. I would also be happy to continue to answer any more questions you have until we have resolved your concern.
Also, any positive feedback and/or bonus you may feel prompted to provide would be welcomed and is appreciated.
My opinion is solely informative and does not constitute a formal medical opinion or recommendation. For a formal medical opinion and/or recommendation you must be examined by your doctor.
but it wouldn't hurt to have a brain scan, what would that term be called. just to satisfy my concern. Its quite frightening to have this happen, obviously I have been through alot, but this scared me more than open heart surgery(although I had that done at the expert hands of Dr. Lax in UCLA)
I have to leave now. thanks and I will click on accept:)
Sorry, the chat feature on this system does not always show me all of your responses and so I missed your last two statements until now. I think having a scan of your brain would be reassuring at least and given the paucity of results explaining this amaurotic event, may even be considered a reasonable next step. There are two types of scans that one might have in this situation. The first might be a CT scan of your brain, or also called a CAT scan, or computed tomographic scan--it is an xray that displays the brain in slices. It is a good test to delineate large mass lesions, hemorrhaging and bony defects. Since what may be causing this may be more subtle, the more appropriate brain scan test would likely be an MRI of the head and orbits. This would show more subtle neurologic detail which would be needed to identify possible small lesions that may be at play here.
Hope that helps.
