California teens ages 15 to 17 will no longer be able to hit tanning beds thanks to a new law.
This past Sunday, California Governor Jerry Brown signed a bill into law that will prevent minors from using tanning beds, effective January 1, 2012.
Find out how to use self-less tanner without the streaky mess!
While this is the first law in the country to completely prohibit underaged teens from using tanning beds, a handful of other states are in the process of passing similar bills.
Currently in California, teens who are 14 to 17 years old are allowed to use tanning salons with their parents' permission, but come next year they'll no longer have that option.
We have to give it up to California for making the ban official, seeing as young girls certainly don't need to "fake'n'bake." Not to mention, they don't need to increase their chances of getting melanoma, which is the second most common form of cancer for people ages 15 to 29 years old, according to The Skin Cancer Foundation.
What do you think about the new tan ban? Tell us in the comments below!

Crist lauds 'the people's tax cut'
Gov. Charlie Crist just concluded a statewide conference call to win support for Amendment 1.
"This is the people's tax cut," he said, touting an increased homestead exemption (he continues to use the misleading "doubling") and Save Our Homes portability. "Even my own parents feel trapped in their home ... and they think about downsizing to a home that would be less expensive but they would lose obviously the 3 percent cap that's such a wonderful advantage from Save Our Homes."
Crist asked listeners -- we're still not sure how many were on call -- to vote by absentee ballot if they have one; to get friends and family to vote, early if possible; to visit the Yes on 1 Web site and to contribute to the campaign.
In a subsequent call with reporters, Crist defended his use of "doubling," saying it was "virtually that." The homestead increase does not apply to school levies, which account for about 40 percent of an average property tax bill.
He also said an internal poll, heretofore unpublicized, showed the measure exceeds the 60 percent threshold for passage.
He predicted local government officials who increase millage rates to offset lost revenue would pay a price.
"If local governments sort of try to game it like that, they will infuriate the electorate. And I would strongly recommend that they wouldn't do it or if they may find themselves voted out, which probably would be appropriate. ... I think the smarter thing to do, the right thing to do, when the amendment passes, is they should live within their means."
Crist said his budget proposal, due Feb. 4, would see an increase for public schools. The tax cut proposal would take about $1.5-billion from schools over five years, leading to opposition from the teachers union. "In addition, I just don't think the Legislature will back up on trying to do what's right for public education." He also said a successful Seminole gaming compact would bring in additional revenue.

HOUSTON - Officials say 185 schools from across the country competed for a share of $120,000 in cash prizes in the sixth annual Lots2Give video contest by Big Lots.
Participating schools submitted a video and a brief essay explaining why their school is in need of financial support.
Holmquist Elementary School in Alief was awarded nearly $3,500 to help kick off the school year.
"Yes, we were very surprised," said Nancy Lewin, principal of Holmquist.
Lewin said the money will help provide technology to the campus, as well as some shade trees.

Europe produces some of the best wine in the world, and you can find over half of the world's vineyards here. To make things easier for you, we've selected some of our favourite European wine tasting experiences – from the hills of Montepulciano to the rugged coast of Madeira.
Destination: Nice
Wines the region is known for: Vin de Pays d'Oc, Vermentino, Chardonnay, Grenache, Muscat, Semillon, Cabernet Sauvignon, Clairette, Cotes de Rhone, Syrah, Viognier
At the cross section of three famous wine regions, Provence, Languedoc-Roussillon, and the Rhone Valley, Nice is the ultimate starting point for a wine tasting adventure.
There are plenty of options for exploring these three powerhouses of wine production; from wonderfully leisurely bike tours through the Languedoc-Rousssillon, cycling in the idyllic countryside peppered with pretty towns and villages, and stopping en route to sample locally produced artisan cheeses, charcuterie and breads. Alternatively, splash out on a private wine tour through Provence, with its ancient ruins, medieval chateaux and rolling fields of purple lavender, or head to the Rhone Valley, home to some of the most internationally renowned wineries, including the world-famous Chateauneuf du Pape.
Destination: Rome
Wines the region is known for: Castelli Romani, in particular Frascati
Although Rome is not known as a powerhouse of Italian wine production (hire a car and head north to Tuscany or south to the Amalfi Coast for this), there's still plenty to explore in and around Lazio, and, with Rome being the nation's capital, it also boasts some of the finest restaurants allowing you to explore food and wine pairings from all over Italy. But if you're keen to taste the best the Lazio countryside has to offer, then it's got to be Frascati, which has been produced in this region for almost two thousand years. Known by the Romans as 'The Golden Wine', Frascati has rather unfairly earned a modern reputation as a not particularly special table wine, but head out to the vineyards of the Castelli Romani, and you'll find local producers using modern techniques to produce excellent wines to rival the best the country has to offer.
Destination: Madeira
Wines the region is known for: Madeira wine, Port
The lovely island of Madeira, located several hundred miles southwest of the Portuguese coast has quite a reputation for wine production, and in particular for the wines produced at the vineyards of Faja dos Padres. The island's fortified wine heritage dates back to the late 17th century, and Madeira wine was even said to have been used to toast the Declaration of Independence in America in 1776. Today, there are plenty of wine shops around the capital, Funchal, where you can sample the best of the island's offering, but the best way to really get under the skin of Madeiran wine is to visit one of the well-organised wineries. Blandy's and Olivieras are both excellent options, where you can explore the history of production, learn about the fortification process, and taste the various styles on offer.
Destination: Faro
Wines the region is known for: strong reds & rose wines including Lagos, Portimato, Laoga and Tavira DOC
Although Portugal's Algarve is best known for its great beaches and five-star golf resorts, it's also offers some fabulous wineries in the surrounding countryside. The climate is temperate and warm, and the soil perfectly suited to producing fabulous reds, for which the region is specifically known. Quinta Dos Vales offers an excellent English-speaking tour covering local wine production and giving you a chance to sample the wines along the way. Believe it or not, Cliff Richard also owns a winery in the region called Adega do Cantor, which produces the award-winning Vida Nova. Set in a stunning hilltop location, offering stunning views of the surrounding vineyards right down to the ocean, this is also well worth a visit, and you can stock up on wines to take back home.

John Travolta: I thought about retiring from films after son Jett's death
John Travolta has revealed that he was so overwhelmed after his son's death three years ago that he thought about quitting acting.
The grief-stricken film star, 58, said he was on the brink of retiring from films after his son Jett died.
He told BBC Breakfast: 'I lost my son a few years ago and I had been having quite a time of that and after three years getting a lot of support from my church and a lot of support from people, fans, family I decided that it was OK to go back to work because I'd even thought of retiring at one point because it felt like too much.'
Jett died aged 16 from a seizure during a family holiday in the Bahamas.
Travolta returns to acting in Oliver Stone 's new film, Savages, which also stars Blake Lively , Salma Hayek and Benicio del Toro.
Savages is based on Don Winslow's best-selling thriller and revolves around two dealers who get into trouble with villains from a Mexican drugs cartel.
He said he agreed to star in the movie because it was a 'high-end, five-star film'.
At the time of his son's death, Travolta posted a statement online saying he was 'heartbroken'.
It read: 'Jett was the most wonderful son that two parents could ever ask for and lit up the lives of everyone he encountered.
'We are heartbroken that our time with him was so brief. We will cherish the time that we had with him for the rest of our lives.'
Travolta also slammed the publication of the Duchess of Cambridge's topless photos and called for a privacy law.
He said: 'There is a right to privacy whether you're famous or not famous and I feel that anyone being invaded at that level is unfortunate and there should be a law, no one would like that.'

Pleasant stay
WE had booked an inside room as we didn't anticipate being indoors for very long.
We were upgraded to a window room which was very pleasant as it gave a different view of the city. very comfortable bed and adequate facilities.

Basic but fine
Room clean,modern but basic which is fine for 1 night
I reserved breakfast for my partnerr and I as they advertised it as we checked in, there was a discount offered if we booked then rather than in the morning.We did feel rather mislead, as the next morning when we went down for breakfast there was a limited choice of fruit, the breakfast was not as advertised by the hotel but just a bacon sandwich.Other guests we spoke to told us that members of staff had directed them to a local place to have a full breakfast for around £3, we did feel extremely cheated by this as we felt the hotel had falsely adverised their breakfast to us.
Lovely view, but room lacking elsewhere
Only had one night here and would have to say it wasn't worth £130.
We got given a room on the top floor with most of the wall space being windows, giving a quite fabulous panoramic view of Liverpool. However, because all of the electrics are dependant upon you inserting your keycard into a slot by the door, there had been no air conditioning on in the room prior to our arrival - needless to say it was unpleasantly hot in there and the feeble air-cooler was positioned above the door, thus rendering it pretty ineffective. Further discoveries were that there was only one plug socket in the room - even the TV was directly wired into the wall - It was in a corner, miles away from the bed and mirror, but there was a hairdryer. The 'milk' pots for the complimentary coffee were off and the bed was horrible - really hard and lumpy and, although it was advertised as Queen Size, I found it ridiculously short. I'm 6 Ft 3 and had a really bad nights sleep because my ankles were hanging over the edge of the bed. The bathroom we thought at first to be stylish - it was totally walled in a combination of normal and frosted glass and took up approx 50% of the floor space in the room - however the novelty soon wore off when you realised that you could sit and wave to your partner at your weakest of moments - not too stylish then. Disappointing room layout has spoiled this stay, but with a little more though to what a couple might want in the room it could be easily remedied .

Harvard Business School professor Clayton M. Christensen tells college chiefs their institutions may not be around in 20 years
DeltaFoxtrot West Valley, UTMarch 11, 2011 11:39 a.m.
@carman: There are virtually none of your "real careers" left in America. Math? Science? Give me a break. The only places to use those are in a classroom teaching or in some laboratory. Those fields aren't growing, they are shrinking.
The problem we are facing now is an overabundance of college grads. Student loans have made college too accessible, so we've got a generation of educated kids struggling under a mountain of debt at some $8.25/hr job. A complete waste of their education and their money.
Generation Y was brought up with "go to college and you'll get a good job" we heard it from parents and from school administrators, it was beaten into our skulls from a very young age. But now that we've worked hard and gone to college we come out to see that there are no jobs left.
As of 2008 only 33% of new grads were finding employment in their field within the first 2 years. That number certainly hasn't gotten any better.
Until America can find a way to bring back the high paying technical jobs college will continue to be a waste.
carman Alpine, UTMarch 10, 2011 8:21 a.m.
The costs of higher ed have been rising at twice the rate of inflation for a LONG time. While I agree that one can get an education without going $30k+ into debt, and I applaud OHBU for doing so, getting "a degree" is no longer a ticket to a good career. Too many of our students are getting degrees in "soft" majors, shunning math, science and other challenging subjects. I largely blame parents who are not helping their children to understand that working hard in high school, and gaining confidence that they can learn difficult subjects, is possible if they put in a lot of effort. More often, folks are settling for previously lucrative but increasingly pressured careers as real estate agents, stock brokers, mutli-level marketers, "entrepreneurs", "consultants", life-style or motivational speakers, etc. We need to get back to fundamentals and providing value rather than pursuing so-called "easy" roads to a cushy life. More often than not, one has to either suspend ethics or endure high stress to make ends meet.
Time to rethink and get real educations and real careers.
OHBU Columbus, OHMarch 9, 2011 11:00 a.m.
re: Procur and Kyle,
I graduated in 2006, went full-time to school and worked the first couple years at the Holiday Inn downtown, the other half for Discover Card in Sandy. I lived on 700 E...a convenient six blocks from Campus. In addition, I graduated with a double major in 5 years.
I obviously don't have all my financials, but here's a math sample:
30hrs/week @ $9/hr = $14,040/yr
As you indicated, Tuition and fees about $10,000/yr
Rent, $450/mo, split with a roommate is $2700/yr
That leaves another $1300 to cover other expenses. Also, in the summer, one can increase working hours by picking up a part-time job.
My point is, everyone acts like you have to go into $30,000 of debt. Even if you're not willing to work as many hours as I did, you should be able to graduate with minimal debt.
S.Andrew Zaelit Salt Lake City, UTMarch 8, 2011 8:10 p.m.
The point of this article and accompanying links is that colleges and universities need to be innovative and think outside the box. A major point of emphasis is a difference between research universities and teaching universities. The idea is to treat these institutions for what they are and not wedge them into a cookie cutter formula. Online education is one area of focus but it is not the only one. Diversification and streamlined business plans equals survival in 21st Century learning plans. What is the difference between sitting in a traditional classroom listening to a graduate student lecture and sitting at home watching or listening to the same lecture online? None. Ultimately, a persons success either online or in class depends on their drive, determination, and abilities. The days of only being able to get a higher degree by sitting in a classroom are ending and that is the bottom line. There will always be a need for a brick and mortar and research but it is folly to suggest that only true path is the outdated 19th and 20th Century university models, something that the report made painfully clear.
Henry Drummond San Jose, CAMarch 8, 2011 4:50 p.m.
I have taken online courses. I have taught online courses. I have written online curriculum. I have done this for private industry and for higher education. I have been doing it for over fifteen years. Traditional classroom teaching will not disappear because of online courses anymore than it disappeared because of correspondence schools. This guy has been on the lecture circuit for years beating the same drum. If legislators knew the real cost of online education they would be shocked. The drop out rate is alarmingly high and it simply isn't appropriate for many disciplines. It is one tool for teaching but not the only tool or even the primary tool.
cjb Bountiful, UTMarch 8, 2011 4:17 p.m.
I have taken distance learning courses and I have taken classes in a university class setting.
The learning is better in an actual class. Unless the online experience improves it is no match for the class.

Re: "Higher Ed is not out of reach, financially. I got my degree from the University of Utah with $0 in debt . . . ."
Don't know when you went, but if you were a junior/senior this semester, you'd pay $3,328.07 in tuition, somewhere upwards of $850 in books, $601 for mandatory health insurance, plus $178 [upper-class average] in fees.
That'll make a pretty good hole in $5 large, per semester, $10 grand a year. That's before you spend a nickel for living expenses.
If your student job left you with that much disposable income, after substistence, you were the rare exception, not the rule.
Additionally, the U, like others, schedules classes for professorial [most likely a TA, actually] and administrative convenience. No thought whatever is given by any of its colleges to employment-friendly scheduling, and many actively discourage student employment.
That's a little more than a "cliche, based on entitlement attitudes."
More importantly, it's unnecessary.
Billions are squandered by colleges every year. It's got to stop.
Kyle loves BYU/Jazz Provo, UTMarch 8, 2011 2:37 p.m.
"most universities are striving for a model that does not seem to be student-centric."
That was the main point I got out of the article. Change is needed. Universities disappearing in 20 years is a bit outlandish but his points in the article are not. Higher education is not getting it done.
re: OHBU
When did you graduate? Where did you live? Were you a full time student? I sincerely doubt anyone can be a full time student work a part time job and pay for their schooling without some help.
Shawnm750 Lehi, UTMarch 8, 2011 1:59 p.m.
I don't think that Christensen/Eyring are implying that in 20 years all traditional universities will be replaced by online learning, only some will. I believe that they are right too. I think you'll seen an increase of online coursework, and schools will have minimal classrooms or physical buildings. Especially where general education is concerned. True, for some programs you'll never be able to totally abandon instructor-led teaching, but as new technology continues to emerge, students will be able to complete even more coursework without needing an instructor's guidance.
mkSdd3 Ogden, UTMarch 8, 2011 1:50 p.m.
There is no problem here. The way people have been trained for jobs has changed over time. And it will continue to change. If there is a cheaper, more efficient way of education people or getting them ready for a particular profession, it will be adopted. It is only natural for things to evolve. We shouldn't be afraid of change, it is a good thing that a more efficient means would be developed.
OHBU Columbus, OHMarch 8, 2011 1:37 p.m.
There has been one professor or another preaching the end of universities as we know them about every few months for at least the last 20 years. The problem is, some people realize that making such a statement gets your name out there and newspapers pay attention. The truth is, universities aren't going anywhere.
Re: procuradorfiscal
Higher Ed is not out of reach, financially. I got my degree from the University of Utah with $0 in debt when I graduated, without any help from parents, scholarships or grants. If one is willing to hold a job while in college, it's really not that difficult to avoid debt. The notion that college is too overpriced is a cliche based on entitlement attitudes that don't believe a student should work to pay tuition.
Re: Mary
Only in Utah is someone upset that a university doesn't offer a forensic geneology degree.
Mary E Petty Sandy, UTMarch 8, 2011 1:15 p.m.
The real problem and impetus behind the explosion in post-secondary online education has been the unwillingness of the legally-accredited university/college community to provide the post-secondary degree programs for 21st Century careers, like Professional Genealogy Research Services, including Forensic Genealogy. As these old schools have experienced their cheese being moved by disrupting colleges, they have held tight to their prejudiced old views of a vocation, even as it is professionalizing. They have been unwilling to innovate.
In Professional Genealogy Research Services we have had to do this for ourselves, as the demand for forensic genealogy and Certified Family Trees© is called for by consumers. We have had to venture out and create our own post-secondary degree programs and work for higher-ed formal accreditation; which slows the process of acceptance by the professional genealogy community. Hence most professional genealogists are in name-only and have no post-secondary degree in the field of genealogy. And consumers suffer.
At Heritage Genealogical College an online master's degree program is in development for Forensic Genealogy. I am currently in that degree program and my thesis highlights this professionalization movement: Forensic Genealogy/Professional Genealogy Vision 2020.

Re: ". . . Clayton M. Christensen tells college chiefs their institutions may not be around in 20 years."
Wouldn't that be great!
The essence of "higher education" strayed years ago from actual education. Today, true educators are bottom feeders in the "higher education" trade/industry. The money, prestige, advancement, and accolades all go to those least involved in the actual education of students -- industry-connected researchers, grant magnets, hyper-publishers, politically networked administrators, and winning coaches.
And taxpayers have become mightily sick of supporting this academic hustle.
"Higher Ed" has already priced itself out of the market for middle class students -- most incur crushing, unsustainable debt to support, not education and dedicated educators, but bloated, overpaid, out-of-touch bureaucracies, ill-conceived and needlessly posh physical facilities, and silly, irrelevant, but politically correct academic programs.
Notwithstanding current pedagogic dogma, the term "education" describes the act of teaching students. Not tenure. Not obscene salaries. Not publishing. Not even athletic success.
It'll be a grand day when current "higher education" scams are overthrown for actual education!
Goet Ogden, UTMarch 8, 2011 12:26 p.m.
The stats prove nothing of the sort.
They are showing a larger number of students that are taking ONE online class. Brick an mortar schools are still essential.
I sure don't want to have a doctor that learned surgery by email correspondence.
I don't want engineers/construction managers that have never had a hands-on project and have only typed up scenarios.
Online education is a great supplement but will never supplant an actual physical location for the majority of majors.

NEW YORK (Oct. 27)
More than 1,000 members of the New York section of the National Council of Jewish Women celebrated the 70th anniversary of the organization at a meeting here today. Representatives from the community paid tribute to the section for its 70 years of service to the people of New York City.
The national board of the NCJW met at the same time with the board of the Young Women's Christian Association here, to consider four key areas in civil rights where women are making a major contribution. Both boards are meeting here this week and decided on a joint session, their first, to measure progress in areas of mutual concern in civil rights.
The four areas covered in the reports by national board members of the two women's organizations were: integrated education, open housing, voter registration, and voluntary compliance with the new civil rights law, particularly the section on public accommodations.

Up in the air, Junior Bird-goat
Somehow that works better when you're not talking about a Draenei… but I digress.
Anyway – I bought one! I finally got sick of not being able to farm ore with anything resembling efficiency (and the extra motes from my Zapthrottle Mote Extractor don't hurt) and broke what has been my cardinal rule about my three 70's.
They all have separate bank accounts, but the banker has been shared. Yesterday – all FOUR pitched in, and Annorah now feels the need… the need for SPEED.
I figured I'd be better able to farm the last 2K gold needed for Angoleth's epic flyer if I could do so by both leather AND ore (and fish), so I shelled out – and I'm happy I did.
Of course, Murphy's Law kicked in, and the ore that's selling best on the Feathermoon AH right now? Thorium.
Figures, right?

Howdy, folks! It's been a year now since I plunged into the Pacific at Rockaway Beach, but I still find myself thinking about and learning from my journey on an almost daily basis. I've spent a good chunk of the past year working through everything that happened to me on my walk, and I think the major lessons remain unchanged since I briefly summed them up last August. But I have a lot more to say about them now that they've been simmering in my brain for a full twelve months. So if you like lengthy, detailed elaborations, then you're going to love…
Day 517
Thoughts on the Red Line: The Extended EditionAugust 25th, 2011
Day 157
Thoughts on the Red LineAugust 30th, 2010
I'll need months of contemplation and reflection before I can fully and coherently discuss everything I've learned on this walk, but I think the two most obvious lessons are these:
1) Have some faith in this world. Things aren't as bad as they tell us. We may all have different political opinions and different religious beliefs and different cultural norms (I'm a liberal atheist Jew. Did you know that? Does it matter?), and many of us probably couldn't stand to be around each other on a regular basis, but most of us would, it turns out, extend a helping hand (or sandwich, or beer, or couch, or shower) to a stranger in need. I walked 3100 miles across this country and didn't encounter a single person who tried to hurt me, or steal from me, or damage my possessions. This isn't a place that needs to be feared. It's a place that needs to be explored, and appreciated, and celebrated.
2) There's beauty everywhere. Keep your eyes open, and keep your mind open, and you'll be amazed what's out there, right under your nose, just waiting to be discovered. You don't need to go to the Best This or the Most Spectacular That; just take a stroll around the neighborhood. I blindly followed directions from Google on my walk, making no effort to see anything special, and look at everything I found that I thought needed to be shared with the world!
But enough with the blabbing. Let me just send out a sincere "Thank you!" to everyone who helped me on my trip. Your generosity astounded me, and I'm extremely grateful for every bit of kindness I received. And thanks to everyone who followed along online and offered words of encouragement. It's always heartening to know other people are interested in what you're doing. Thanks for making me feel special!
Okey dokey. Stay strong, people!

Chapter 1 (v.1) - Help Me (BoyxBoy)
"Um, thanks." I said sheepishly as I counted the bills. I got $50 for this job.
"No problem pretty boy." He said with a wink. "Need a ride home?"
"N-no thanks. I can walk."
"You sure? I don't want a pretty thing like you walking home at night by yourself."
"I'm positive. I don't live too far from here." I replied. Crap. Rule #1: Never tell your residence. Don't even give a little hint. Hopefully he missed that.
"You live over there by Oakwood?" He questioned.
"Uh...No. I live in Brecksville." I said. I really do live in Oakwood.
"Oh. Well I'll let you be on your way. Call me if you need anything. And I mean anything." He tried to say seductively.
I walked out of his apartment and down the steps.
Another whoring job. Gosh, why can't I do better than this? I'm pathetic. A lost hope. I mean, I have the cuts on my body to prove it.
"Caught in a bad romance" My phone sang.
"Hey Ryan. What are you up to?" My best friend, Jace, asked.
"Oh nothing. Just at work." I said. He didn't need to know all the details. Truth is, he knows. He just likes to pretend like he doesn't know.
"Oh...So do you want me to come and pick you up or do you have another job?"
"Yea, I have another job. Sorry. How about tomorrow? We can have a Best Friends day?" I suggested.
"Yea Cool! That's sounds fun. When you finish up with this job call me and I'll pick you up. We can have a sleepover!" He said happily.
"Alright Nerd, see you in about an hour."
"Bye Cash."
I ended the call.
For some odd reason we have always had those nicknames for each other. We were basically birth buddies. His mom and my mom were like best friends.
I reached the guys house. It was really nice. It looked like a mansion. A big ass mansion.
I walked up the stone pathway that led to the door. I knocked on it and an attractive looking guy stepped out.
"Ryan. Come in. I've been expecting you. You're a little late." He said.
"Oh. Um sorry. I was a little held up." I replied.
"Well, time is money. You want all your money right?" he asked.
"Well your going to get it rough do you understand me?" He yelled.
"Yessir." I replied.
He yanked my hair and dragged me up the steps. He opened a bedroom door. He roughly pushed me on the bed.
He said I was going to get it rough; he was true to his word.
About an hour later I was sitting at the bus stop waiting for Jace.
Gosh, this bus bench is really hurting my ass.
"Need a ride?" I looked up to see a really cute guy with deep blue eyes.
"Uh, no thanks. I'm just waiting for my friend. He should be here any minute." I said.
"Oh. Ok. Well, see you around?" He asked.
"Sure" I replied giggling.
He pulled off as soon as Jace pulled up.
I opened the door to his black mustang and climbed in.
I looked at him and I immediately felt bad.
I'm a whore. He doesn't need someone like me for a best friend. He can do better.
"Jace, why are you friends with me?" I asked.
"Because without you there is no me. I wouldn't be here talking to you if it wasn't for you. You and I both know that. Don't feel bad. It's just what you do. It's not good that you're doing this to your body but I can't stop you. I desperately want you to stop but I can't make you. Just like the cutting," I gasped," Yea I saw the cuts Ryan. I can't make you stop though. I'm friends with you because I love you. We all make mistakes. But your my mistake. I wouldn't change anything about you if I could." He finished.
I just stared at him. Tears silently falling down me cheeks.
"But I'm a whore." I whispered.
"Prostitute is the correct word. Ryan your emotionally confused. You mix love and sex. You think that if people have sex with you than they love you but that's not true. Those people use you Ryan." he said quietly.
We had pulled up in front of my house.
"We can finish this talk inside" Jace said and got out of the car.
I silently followed after him into my house.
"Hey mom." He said to my mom.
"Hi Jace. Are you staying the night?" she asked.
"Yep!" He said.
She nodded and walked off into the kitchen.
"Come on lets go upstairs." He said and grabbed my hand.
We walked upstairs to the attic where my room was located. Yep, I had the whole attic to myself. My own bathroom too.
I went and sat on my bed.
"So lets change clothes and we can lay down and talk. I know it's been a long day for you." Jace suggested.
I nodded and got up. I headed to the shower. I needed to wash myself. I felt dirty.
After I got out of the shower I changed into my gray plaid boxers and laid down.
I turned over and cried silently.
"Hey Cash. You okay?" He asked.
"No. He was so goddamn rough with me. I'm only 17. Why was he so rough with me? Okay, I was a little late. He didn't have to be so damn rough!" I yelled.
Tears were freely falling down my face now.
Jace crawled into bed beside me and I laid my head on his chest.
He whispered soothing things in my ear and rubbed my back.
Soon, my tears subsided.
I was drifting off into dream land.
"I love you Cash." he whispered.
"I love you too Nerd." I replied and fell asleep.

About this pro
How does your business stand out?
I have worked very hard to learn my craft in order to provide my customers with quality photos that they can treasure for generations. I have a fun, vibrant and classic style so my photos tend to really pop. If you are looking for black and white images or muted tones that tend to look slightly bleached out, then I am not the photographer for you. I try to capture my client's personality in the photos so that they really reflect the moment. I want my clients to enjoy the experience as much as I do. Having a repeat customer or one that refers others is the best compliment that anyone could give me. Having quality photos for my clients to print and pass on to future generations is my goal.
What do you enjoy about the work you do?
I love capturing people/pets as they truely are. I like to get to know my subjects and I like to think of them as new friends. It's a wonderful feeling when I have repeat customers because it shows that I am doing a good job. I love feedback too, good or bad, because it helps me grow as a photographer.

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My base price for portraits is adjusted if I have to travel, how many people/pets are involved or if there is a rush involved in photo turn around. Weddings are based on location, how many people are in the wedding party/ guest list, how long I will be needed, as well as if I need to have a second photographer to assist me. Event photography is based on location, formality and how long I am expected to photograph.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Portrait photography is not something that you can just do. To be a good photographer, you must learn all that you can to achive the look and feel that the client desires. Satisfaction is guaranteed and I take a lot of pride in my work. I am always reading magazines, online articles as well as any books or webinars that will teach me something. I am always practicing and trying new techniques. I am always trying to learn more so that I can ensure customer satisfaction. I also have to be able to relate to all types and ages of people. I keep up to date on what children are watching, playing with so that I can ask them questions to make them more comfortable.
What types of customers have you worked with?
My most common jobs are on-location portraits of either people or pets. I also do a lot of event and architectural (real estate) photography. Events, I take all of the photos that I can to capture the event. I lightly enhance my photos for all clients. Satisfaction Guaranteed.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Look for someone that you can relate to and who will photograph you or your event in the style that you like. Look for someone that truly knows how to accomplish a great photo, no matter the circumstance. I have climbed a glacier, stood in almost freezing water, climbed a tree and knelt down in the mud in order to get the photo that my client desired. Hire the best person that you can afford and you won't be sorry. Cheap does not always mean good. Remember that quality photos do not come with out trial and error and a good photographer will have the experience and equipment needed to serve you well. Do you really want to trust your wedding to the family friend who has a decent camera but no experience? Professional photographers are like any service, you hire a licensed electrician to do your electrical work, do the same for your portraits which will be around forever.

I appreciate you getting some pictures up, I'm having problems uploading images lately. Let me know if any of the routes I posted are repeats and I'll delete them.

Manchester double act
Manchester United will be able to enjoy Monday's showdown between Arsenal and Chelsea after they defeated Sunderland 2-0 at Old Trafford on Boxing Day. Victory extends the Red Devils' advantage over their London rivals to five and six points respectively, and Sir Alex Ferguson's side have now won 14 of their last 15 fixtures on December 26.
• Premier League Gallery
• Palmer: Spurs light the way
Ferguson always attaches great importance to the Christmas period, acknowledging the vast possibility for change in the title race as United embarked on a 10-day period in which they will play four league games. And, without the services of two of their most reliable players, the league leaders had far too much for Steve Bruce's in-form Sunderland.
Nani and Darren Fletcher both missed out due to injury and illness respectively, but that only meant that the imperious Ryan Giggs stepped back into the side, and he excelled in a sizzling United performance. The Red Devils led as early as the fifth minute, with Wayne Rooney chipping the ball over for Dimitar Berbatov to convert, and from that moment Sunderland were on damage limitation duty.
Rooney, playing like a man revived following a difficult six months, came agonisingly close to emulating Eric Cantona's famous chip against Sunderland as he beat the helpless Craig Gordon, only to see the ball drift wide of the far post. Moments later it was Anderson trying his luck, bending the ball from just inside the area, only to see his effort rebound off the woodwork.
Some of United's build-up play deserved a second goal, yet when the clincher arrived they were grateful for a significant deflection off Anton Ferdinand as Berbatov's strike completely wrong-footed Gordon in the Sunderland goal.
Manchester City remain a very present contender in the Premier League title race after they became the first top-flight team to record six away wins this season, beating Newcastle 3-1 at St James' Park. Roberto Mancini's men are just two points behind United in the table, although they have played two more games.
Mancini began the day by delivering a warning to Mario Balotelli regarding his inconsistent form, and the benched forward will certainly have learned a thing or two from Carlos Tevez as City stunned the Magpies with two goals in the first five minutes. Both strikes were largely down to Tevez, who capitalised on Tim Krul's woeful pass to set up Gareth Barry inside two minutes, before starting and finishing the second with a left-foot volley.
In fairness to Newcastle, they resisted the temptation to capitulate and carved out several chances to get back into the match, eventually halving the deficit with 18 minutes remaining through Andy Carroll. Kevin Nolan then shaved the post when attempting to level, and City punished the miss as Tevez combined with Adam Johnson for the deflected clincher.
Tottenham went back into fifth place in the Premier League despite the sending off of Jermaine Defoe to win 2-1 at Aston Villa. Defoe was given his marching orders for a flying elbow on James Collins, but only after Rafael van der Vaart continued his fine form by smashing a 23rd minute opener.
Villa failed to take advantage of the situation and a Tottenham counter attack, with great work from Gareth Bale and Aaron Lennon, set the Dutchman up for his second to kill off the tie. Villa scored a consolation from Marc Albrighton, but it was too little too late for Gerard Houllier's men, who continued their dreadful run of Boxing Day defeats.
West Ham breathed life into their Premier League survival bid with a 3-1 win over fellow strugglers Fulham at Craven Cottage.
Fulham made a bright start and Aaron Hughes netted his first goal in six years when climbing to head home Simon Davies' cross after he had been left alone in the penalty area. However, the Cottagers failed to cash in on the extended spells of possession they enjoyed and were made to pay for a mistake by Dickson Etuhu, who turned the ball into Carlton Cole's path - enabling the Hammers' striker to prod a shot beyond Mark Schwarzer. West Ham edged in front just before the interval when Scott Parker picked out an unmarked Frederic Piquionne at the far post and he volleyed home.
Cole enjoys his days out against Fulham and he made the points safe on 73 minutes when he pounced on a long ball and flashed a shot beyond Schwarzer for his sixth goal in his last five games against the west London side. Rob Green ensured there was no chance of a Fulham revival when pulling off a remarkable save with his right hand to deny Eddie Johnson, moments after Cole had added the third.
Fulham now find themselves in the bottom three after Wigan overcame Wolves 2-1 in a proverbial six-pointer at the bottom of the table. The result sees Wigan move three points clear of the drop zone.
The Latics had only won one away league game all season, but it took just nine minutes to silence the Molineux faithful, with Hugo Rodallega using his body excellently to send a right-footed volley past Wayne Hennessey. That lead was doubled on 20 minutes as Tom Cleverley once again caught the eye on loan from Manchester United, breaking clear to slam the ball through Hennessey's legs, and that goal sealed the points despite Steve Fletcher's 87th-minute consolation.
Elsewhere, Steve Kean is still looking for his first win as Blackburn manager after they lost 2-0 at home to Stoke. Matt Etherington was guilty of a glaring miss as the teams entered the interval with the scores goalless, but Robert Huth headed his fourth of the season six minutes into the second period, before Marc Wilson completed the victory to heap pressure on Rovers' new owners.
And Bolton are temporarily up to fifth, two points behind Chelsea, thanks to a 2-0 triumph over West Brom at the Reebok Stadium. Matt Taylor's first goal in 23 outings broke the deadlock in the first half, and Johan Elmander killed the game off with four minutes remaining.

4-H team places nationally
WINDOM — A quartet of 4-H Consumer Decision Making team members from Cottonwood and Jackson counties garnered third place over the weekend at the Western National Round-Up in Denver, Colo.
Abby and Natalie Resch and Spencer Wolter, all of Windom, and Kristin Liepold of Okabena earned the trip to the Consumer Decision Making Contest and Family Consumer Science Skill-a-thon after earning first place in Minnesota's 4-H Consumer Decision Making competition last August. They returned home Sunday night with a collection of National Round-Up ribbons for their efforts.
Coached by Lisa Fest, the team placed third overall, third in oral reasons and fourth in the group process and Skill-a-Thon contests. The group process evaluated the teamwork and discussion among participants as they were asked to choose fruits to include in a fruit basket fundraiser that would net the best profit.
"Consumer Decisions is life skills that you're going to use every day," explained Fest of the contest.
Judges compare items in a series of competitions, identifying the best products based on value and quality.
"It's similar to other judging teams … they're going to place these four (items) in order and give oral reasons on a couple of classes," Fest said.
The teams judged six different objects, from luggage and jeans to household cleaners, televisions, children's toys and breakfast cereals.
Abby and Natalie Resch are the team veterans, having competed together in local and regional contests for the past three years. They were joined last summer by Wolter and Liepold to create the first senior team within the two-county partnership.
Abby Resch, a freshman at the University of Minnesota, grew up in a family that did comparison shopping. Finding a use for that knowledge in 4-H, she said, was "very fun."
"For me, the easiest part seems to be oral reasons," said Resch, a former speech competitor and FFA member at Windom Area High School. She placed fifth overall individually in oral reasons at the national contest.
Eleven teams from across the country participated in the contest, stretching from North Dakota to Texas and New Mexico to Georgia.
The Cottonwood-Jackson team conducted several fundraisers to help pay for their trip to Denver, and there are more planned.
"We received some grants and the (4-H) Federations put forth money to help support the trip," Fest said, adding that several businesses also donated funds. Another fundraiser is planned at a home basketball game at Southwest Star Concept (SSC) in late February.
Since the four 4-H'ers competed at the national contest, they are ineligible to compete in future consumer decision making contests. However, Fest said a couple of them have already volunteered to help coach new teams in the coming year.
"It's been a very good program in the county," she said, adding that Cottonwood-Jackson 4-H took three teams to the state last year, earning first in the senior division and first and second in the intermediate division.
Liepold, who joined the team last June and practiced with the Resches and Wolter leading up to the state contest, said she got involved because she wanted to be part of a judging team and get the "full 4-H experience."
"It was fun to learn different things," said Liepold, a senior at SSC. "It helped me practice my speaking skills and teamwork skills."
As a team, the members practiced from June up to the state contest in late August, and then again from November until the national contest.
In addition to competing in Friday's Skill-a-Thon and Saturday's contests, the local youths toured the Denver area, including the Denver Zoo, Museum of Nature and Science and Denver Stock Show.
"For me, already being at the National FFA Convention, this was a completely different experience," Resch said. "It was just so much fun."
Natalie Resch and Wolter were the youngest members on the team. They are both sophomores at Windom Area High School.
Fest said she and the team members are willing to help 4-H'ers in other counties in southwest Minnesota who are interested in forming a consumer decision making team.

Mystery Science Theater 3000: Hamlet
US DVD: 21 Jun 2011
A Note of Apology from Pearl Forrester:
I don't mind saying that I look back on my accomplishments—Lawgiver on an ape-ruled world, ruler of Qatar, inventor of various Evil with a capital "E" doomsday devices—with a sense of pride. As the most recent in a long line of mad scientist Forresters (barring some space/time continuum hooey involving my son), I've accomplished more than most. And yet, there's the gnawing realization that I'll be known for only one thing: showing bad movies to those cornfed idiots up on the Satellite of Love.
I know, I know, it's the family business and all. Forresters long before me were engaging in one variant of this experiment or another. Yet I have to ask myself what value the work of my ancestors holds in a world where people actually choose to watch bad movies for fun? I mean, watching a SyFy Original for a couple of hours shakes me to my core and gives me a real crisis of faith. A retelling of Moby Dick involving a prehistoric whale and a mad submarine captain? They would have run me out on a rail from the Mad Scientists' Guild for simply showing the trailer of that abomination on the SOL. There are limits!
All those movies I showed Joel, Mike, and the robots: what was it all for? No. No, it's best not to think that way. I was a woman—a pioneering woman—in and of my time, and I won't let doubts bring my sense of self-worth crashing down. I mean, I had some really bad movies. I really stuck it to those guys.
And we had fun. I won't deny that they made me laugh from time to time, clever little clueless moppets that they were. So in a way, I was giving joy at the same time I was giving misery. Still, there was that one time I might have overplayed my hand. Oh, the boys thought they had me. I've always been a sucker for three-card monte, and I couldn't resist. When I lost, though, they got to pick the film for that night. "Hamlet!" they cried, as if no one could pollute the Bard's great works. Little did they know that I had a little gem filmed for German television in 1960. It was wrong, to be sure, but I'm not known for being nice (evil, remember?).
That was one English-dubbed slog, though. For me, for them, for anyone who came within 50 yards of that heaping helping of Danish ennui. I mean, 20 minutes into this one, and you start to side with every snotty high school student who ever rolled their eyes at a "thee" or "thou". Oh, this Hamlet tries. It stars Maximilian Schell as Hamlet, and the set design is chock-full of shadows, curtains, and stone furniture. Kind of like a play Ingmar Bergman might have staged in art school (see guys, yet another reminder that you aren't the only ones who can sling around a film reference!). Or, as Mike, Tom, and Servo put it, "San Quentin Prison presents Shakespeare!".
It would be difficult to call this Hamlet bad, even though it's still plodding even after I trimmed it down to fit the crew's union-mandated 90-minute viewing window. It's still Shakespeare, even if some of the dubbing (Ricardo Montalbán as the voice of Claudius?) makes my head spin, so it's not godawful. But it's sad how many of the play's subtleties disappear. Add to that the production's minimalist personality, and there's not a lot to work with. The crew are reduced to pot shots at some of the costuming choices, and I can't blame them. The sight of Hamlet's father's ghost gliding around in a spangled cape that would make Liberace proud evokes a call of "Ladies and Gentlemen, Patti Labelle!" The sight of Queen Gertrude's hair is greeted with "Hail, Queen Dilbert's Boss". The sight of multiple black-clad, betighted men is dubbed "a herd of Hamlets". Ophelia's famous descent into madness is shrewdly judged as "She's trying to Section-8 her way out of the movie".
Of course, there's also Hamlet's reluctance to kill Claudius, and I admit I (being a get-to-the-point kind of evil gal) shared Mike and the bots' frustration at Hamlet's tendency to talk about the act, rather than performing it. "Is there a word in the English language he hasn't said?" sums it up pretty well.
So I cut too much from a film that didn't have much going for it to begin with, leaving my test subjects with the occasional inspired one-liner. The EKG charts from this one are pretty much a flat line, and I'm pretty sure that if that Interstellar Human Rights Tribunal had gotten access to the footage of this one, I'd never have gotten off. Not without releasing my latest mutant virus onto the judges and jury, anyway…
Mystery Science Theater 3000: Gunslinger
US DVD: 21 Jun 2011
For all my complaints about my son Clayton (and I've had remarkably few since I killed him), he made a much better choice when he showed Roger Corman's 1956 Gunslinger. Starring a pre-My Three Sons Beverly Garland, it's the not-so-thrilling tale of a sheriff's widow who dons a badge and vows vengeance against those responsible for killing her man. admire her pluck, although I'm not sure she ever does figure out who ordered the killing. Oh well, I guess it's no surprise that the "right" (a matter of perspective, I suppose, when you're in the biz like I am) people end up dead in the end. Oh, and there's the small matter of John Ireland playing Cane Miro, a hit man hired to kill her, although the two end up falling in love.
This one has the usual early Corman charm that's like sunlight to the SOL crew's tortured brains. The mileage they get out of the simple fact that Cane's door opens the wrong way leads to countless (and I'm not too proud to admit, funny) jokes about how he lives out in the hall instead of in a room. And Cane's ability to disappear and reappear in strange places leads Joel and the bots to a little mental exercise on the idea of quantum linear superposition, as if Cane were the Wild West version of the X-Men's Nightcrawler. It must have done my dear finally-departed Clayton's heart proud to see his subjects responding to the movie in such inspired acts of psychic defense.
It's yet another grim reminder, though, of the brash cruelties I inflicted with Hamlet. To view or not to view? In retrospect, it's not such a hard question to answer, although I'm sure good ol' wishy washy Hamlet would have still taken three hours to make up his mind about that one, too.

Vermont City Marathon
Was running a marathon one of your New Year's Resolutions?
Many marathons, like the Boston Marathon, require qualifying times. Women ages 18-34 need to have run in another marathon with the same rules, and finish in under 3 hrs, 40 minutes.
The Vermont City Marathon counts as a qualifying race for those other big city, fancy pants marathons. Anyone can register, so if you're interested, sign-up immediately because slots are filling up.
The run takes place in beautiful Burlington, Vermont. The city closes its streets making a scenic loop that wraps around its well-known downtown area, Battery Park, and shimmering Lake Champlain.
The marathon takes place on Sunday, May 27th, 2007 - Memorial Day Weekend. Burlington is an amazing place to visit for a nice long weekend. So after the race, you can enjoy yourself on the lake, shop, relax at a sweet cafe, take in some live music, or just take a leisurely stroll down Church Street.
Since you burned all those calories running, why not enjoy some Ben & Jerry's ice cream? You'll truly deserve it.

Saturday's Record Store Day quickly become an anticipated holiday for music lovers and collectors.
Founders of Record Store Day were intuitive holding it late April every year. Just as spring represents change and renewal, so did the impetus of the event that grows in stature and popularity.
Created to bring attention (and its own sense of renewal) to independent record stores around the country, Record Store Day has, since 2008, quickly become an anticipated holiday for music lovers and collectors.
Record Store Day is Saturday.
RSD was a means to celebrate music while stressing the importance of the independent record store. Stores hosted events and popular musicians made personal appearances at them. Each year RSD selects an ambassador. Previous years' include Ozzy Osbourne and Jack White. Public Enemy's Chuck D is 2014's ambassador, and the rap group's 1988 classic album "It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back" is seeing a repressing as part of the celebration.
Wilmington's Gravity Records and Yellow Dog Discs will be participating in Record Store Day, both opening up at 8 a.m., selling selections from the approximately 450 titles available this year, offering giveaways and door prizes, and a lot more. From noon to 6 p.m. Gravity will host performances from bands Free Clinic, Mike Blair & the Stonewalls, Astro Cowboy, The Phantom Playboys (who have a new album out that day) and Deep Ecology, offering a fine cross section of our local music scene.
There's lot of goodies to go around. Inside the glass cabinet at Gravity some are on display, like the 7 and 10-inch vinyl releases and music samplers to patches and t-shirts. There's also a slew of Chuck D RSD 2014 buttons and goods from local businesses like Wilmington Wine and Front Street Brewery.
Gravity owner Matt Keen has some good advice for the RSD attendee: "Go over the list of releases so you know what you're looking for when you get here."
Ditto for Yellow Dog Discs. Last week, the weather was pristine and music by The Psychedelic Furs poured out their propped open door. All that was missing was a grill and a cooler. The "Pretty in Pink" soundtrack was followed by "Led Zeppelin IV," its shiny black vinyl spinning on the counter as people walked in the store. Owner Tim Freeman talked about the cool titles this year as well as phone calls he was receiving regarding the event.
"People have called asking if they could buy an item now or if we could hold it for them," Freeman said. He tells them no, that's not how it works and wouldn't be fair to those who show up Saturday morning, like the customers he had from Morehead City last year. "I told the employees the calls will probably get worse next week."
Previously a strictly used music and movie store, Yellow Dog Discs participated in RSD for the first time last year.
"For us it was Record Store Day-lite," Freeman said. The store ordered a small amount of the nearly 350 items available in 2013 and sold them all save for a few that eventually sold the next week. The event was promising enough for Yellow Dog that they quickly began selling brand new vinyl releases full-time.
In that time the store's stock has greatly increased. They sell a wide variety of brand new records, whether it's recent releases from Lake Street Dive and Jimmy Cliff, re-releases from Kiss, or imports of Mother Love Bone and the "Lawless" soundtrack.
Freeman said he's ordered a lot for RSD but won't get the bulk of it until next week. RSD features limited exclusive releases and items that are available before release to the general public.
"People are after stuff exclusive to that day," Freeman said.
Yellow Dog will be giving away door prizes in addition to a limited edition Crosley "Peanuts" record player. This year's RSD looks to be the biggest yet, again with items that look back augment the present.
To commemorate "Ghostbusters" turning 30, there's a glow-in-the-dark 7-inch disc of Ray Parker Jr.'s theme song and a full album 75th anniversary release of "The Wizard of Oz" soundtrack.
Special releases are on deck from The Allman Brothers, Green Day, Eric Church, a box set of Cake's albums, a greatest hits collection for Ice-T, a live album from Mastodon, re-releases for Joy Division and Aero-smith and much, much more.
Gravity's Fadi Mansour has a suggestion for RSD shoppers: "Get here early."

RB Thomas returns but is tentative
Adam Rank | Tags: Danny Thomas, Curtis Painter, Darrius Heyward-Bey, Greg Little, Harry Douglas, Jabar Gaffney, Jackie Battle, Jason Avant, Peyton Hillis, Tim Tebow
It's Tim Tebow Tuesday, which means we are not allowed to talk anything but the Broncos quarterback here on NFL.com. Which is quite evident if you spent any time on the homepage today. So with that in mind, the Broncos are on a bye in Week 6, but their next opponent is the Dolphins.
And speaking of the Dolphins, RB Daniel Thomas returned to practice on Tuesday, though one reporter thought he looked tentative. Are we talking Darth Vader's first steps tentative? Or a guy coming off an injury who does not want to blow it all out in practice. (We are, after all, talking about practice.)
Still, this is good news, and I find Thomas to be rather likable this week going against the Jets, who just cannot seem to stop anybody on the ground.
Alright, who has questions?
hey Adam, I'm looking for a receiver for this week. right now I have Reggie Wayne and Jabar Gaffney. even though Reggie hasn't been producing, I still can't bench him haha. I can't decide if Gaffney is reliable. what do you think? go with Gaffney or pick up Jason Avant? or someone else? — Bill Farhat (via Facebook)
I'm with you on Wayne, I am not benching him either. That's right, I have faith in Curtis Painter. Well, your problem is that none of these guys are reliable. That is the problem with bye weeks. You are basically rolling the dice with Avant or Cleveland's Greg Little, too, though I will admit that I hate Gaffney's matchup this week. One name I would like you to keep an eye on is Harry Douglas. If Julio Jones cannot go, then Douglas would be a nice sleeper.
I (also) have Brees and Newton. I was thinking Newton for Mathews, or possibly Brees for McFadden. My RBs are Foster, Ridley, F. Jones, and Hillis.
Which would be the better deal? — Zachary O'Neill (via Facebook)
Trading Newton at this point would probably be the safest thing to do, because you know what you are going to get with Brees. But I really like Brees for McFadden and going that way for the rest of the season.
What do I do with Peyton Hillis?? — Travis Jackson (via Facebook)
Hold on to him and hope he stops pouting and listening to his agent. Running backs are in such demand, you cannot drop him because who would you drop him for?
I have stevan Ridley, Bernard Scott (still stashing him), and Isaac Redman. Who do I drop and who should I add from Heyward-bey, Tebow, J. Battle, or Garcon. A little on my team my QB's are Big Ben and Fitzpatrick. Wr's S. Johnson, Nicks, Cruz, and D. Nelson. RB's AP, S. Jackson, Starks, and the above. Thanks! — Aaron Gaddie (via Facebook)
Personally, I would drop Roethlisberger because there is no need to carry three quarterbacks when you are only playing one. You can go with Fitzpatrick and Tebow for the rest of the season. Jackie Battle has more upside than Ridley right now because he is going to be the lone RB for the Chiefs. Ridley (who I still like) is going to be fighting for carries with BenJarvus Green-Ellis. I also like Heyward-Bey more than Nelson right now, too. So you could really change the culture of your locker room by making some bold moves.
You can receive daily fantasy advice from Rank via Twitter or via Facebook. Be sure to catch the latest on the Dave Dameshek Football Program.

When Richard A. Berman became president of Manhattanville College in 1995, the school, in Purchase, N.Y., had low name recognition, financial troubles and a longstanding inability to attract men. Mr. Berman's solution: hockey.
He wanted to start men's and women's hockey teams, and he wanted them to compete for national championships.
''Sports was one of the things that could raise our visibility,'' he said. ''Sports also makes students feel proud of the school.'' And a hockey program, he said, would set Manhattanville apart from other liberal arts colleges near New York City.
The plan, which has had mixed results, was not universally popular. ''There are still remnants of the controversy to this day,'' Mr. Berman said. ''A lot of the faculty thought it diverted resources for things like salary for the faculty.''
In time, the school -- a former women's college with 1,500 undergraduates -- committed $1 million to take over the lease on a rink at Rye Playland that the New York Rangers had left. The rink was painted the school colors and the Rangers locker room, complete with hot tub, was taken over.Continue reading the main story
But hockey was not the school's only area of focus when it came to sports. Manhattanville eventually hired a former New York Knick, Dean Meminger, to coach its basketball team, and as in hockey and other sports, Mr. Berman acknowledges that the bar was raised markedly.
Along with getting good grades and participating in school life, Mr. Berman wants the players on the school's 18 varsity teams to compete for national championships.
''The national championship is a fine goal,'' he said. Asked if there was real pressure to win on campus, Mr. Berman readily acknowledged that there was. Added Keith Leventhal, the athletic director and hockey coach, who started the hockey program five years ago at age 26, ''There was definitely pressure to build a successful program.''
Such a strong focus on winning in sports would be of little note if Manhattanville were the sort of school that played big-time sports and raised big-time revenue for its efforts. But it is not.
Asked if he had ambitions for Manhattanville to make the jump to higher divisions from its current Division 3, Mr. Berman, who got the job as president of Manhattanville while chief executive of a headhunting firm conducting a search for the position, said no.
He points instead to Division 3 schools like Williams and Middlebury, which excel in both academics and athletics, and to how that sense of well-rounded excellence helps sell the school to high school seniors. But John McCardell, the president of Middlebury College and the chairman of the N.C.A.A.'s Division 3 Presidents Council, said that Division 3 sports had, to a degree, lost their way.
''There's a creeping Division 1-ism,'' Mr. McCardell said, referring to the heavy emphasis many smaller Division 3 schools were putting on sports. With this in mind, Mr. McCardell recently championed a package of rule changes that could shift the tenor of Division 3 athletics.
The changes will reduce the length of playing season in all Division 3 sports by 10 percent. The changes also created a financial reporting process that will determine if Division 3 schools are favoring athletes with more financial aid than nonathletes.
A longstanding concern is that while Division 3 schools cannot offer scholarships, they favor athletes with better financial aid packages. ''There was a feeling that Division 3 practices have strayed from its philosophy,'' said Dan Dutcher, a vice president of Division 3. ''The thought was the rule changes would help shift the focus back to basics.''
Mr. Berman voted against almost all the changes.
''I don't know who you are benefiting from shortening the playing at practice season,'' he said. ''You have kids working and staying in shape, why shorten the experience?'' Mr. Berman argued that building a sports program, so long as you still built the science labs, was a legitimate means for a small school to build name recognition, a market necessity for Manhattanville.
With hockey, which was chosen over football because start-up costs were lower despite the large rosters, because youth hockey was growing and because Mr. Berman felt the sport could attract more international students, Manhattanville has positioned itself as one of the few small schools near New York City to offer the sport for both men and women.
Success on the ball fields, courts and ice will attract high school students, Mr. Berman said, and help make the experience of those on campus more fun.
Improving athletics is not the sole direction taken by Mr. Berman, but it is central and the initial results have been good. Both hockey teams have been ranked near the top of Division 3 this year. Mr. Meminger's arrival got the school's name in the news, and his stewardship has been more than steady, with the men's basketball team ending the season at 18 and 10.
Manhattanville has doubled its undergraduate enrollment since 1995, to 1,528 today, but the proportion of men has remained fairly steady -- at about 30 percent of the student body -- despite hockey. ''It has not, by itself, been so overwhelmingly positive,'' Mr. Berman said.
But he pointed out that adding women's hockey simultaneously had attracted women, too, and that, with men's hockey, hundreds of new undergraduates could be attracted with no falloff in men. Without hockey, he said, ''at some point, it could have been disastrous.''
The college proudly points out that applications have tripled since 1995, surpassing 3,000, and that the average combined SAT scores have gone up to 1090 for incoming freshmen last fall from 910 in 1995.
Mr. Berman, who rarely misses an athletic event, was recently spotted at Rye Playland, standing behind the glass at a women's hockey game with Manhattanville in the lead, calling out encouragement before running back to campus and a basketball game.Continue reading the main story

Energy Efficiency in the Service Industry: An empirical analysis using establishment data (Japanese)
To achieve both sustainable economic growth and a reduction of CO2 emissions has been an important policy agenda in recent years. Although efficiency in energy consumption in the manufacturing sector has been significantly improving, energy consumption in the service and household sectors continues to increase steadily. Currently, the service industry accounts for about 20% of final energy use in Japan. This paper, by using establishment-level micro-data from the Energy Consumption Survey , empirically analyzes the effect of urban density on energy intensity in the service sector. According to the analysis, the efficiency of energy consumption in service establishments is higher for densely populated cities. Quantitatively, after controlling for differences among industries, energy efficiency increases by about 12% when the density in municipality populations doubles. The result suggests that, under the trend towards the service economy, deregulation of excessive restrictions hindering urban agglomeration, investment in infrastructures in the city centers, and expansion of clean energy supply in the rural areas would contribute to environmentally friendly economic growth.

She's baaaaaack!
Kate Gosselin's Kate Plus 8 returns to the airwaves with all-new episodes beginning April 4, TLC announced Tuesday.
In the hour-long season premiere, the once-ubiquitous, now-single reality mom, 35, takes her 8 kids on their most far-flung journey ever: Australia.
After their longest plane ride yet, the famous family (minus dad Jon Gosselin, of course) ring in the New Year in Sydney.
Other highlights of their down-under adventures: Plenty of sun and surf by the beach; quality time with Australian aboriginals; Kate's freezing-cold ocean encounter with sharks...and, after Gosselin's notorious meltdown outside a tent in Alaska, another camping trip.
