50 yo female had Labiaplasty of Labia Minora and Clitoral Hood Reduction with Clitoropexy
Was this photo helpful? {{ voteCount + ' other' + (voteCountOthers == 1 ? '' : 's') }} found this helpful
50 yo mother of two referred by her local OBGYN to Dr. Oscar Aguirre for bladder leakage issues. During initial consultation, she also described a long history of concerns with regard to the aesthetic nature of her vulva. She states that she has noticed decreased sensation with sex. Aesthetically, upon examination, she was found to have bilateral and asymmetric hypertrophy with hyperpigmentation of the labia minora as well as excess clitoral hood skin. Following further medical testing, she was confirmed to have Stress Urinary Incontinence with Urethral Hypermobility in the presence of complex Pelvic Organ Prolapse and Abnormal Uterine Bleeding. After thorough discussion of surgical and non-surgical options, she decided to proceed with surgery as recommended. Dr. Aguirre first performed the medically necessary procedures in an In-Patient Hospital setting. One week later in an office surgical setting, Dr. Aguirre performed Laser Reduction Labiaplasty of the Labia Minora and Clitoral Hood Reduction with Clitoropexy. She returned to the office for regularly scheduled postop visits, well healed.

Floral Decoration of Cemeteries
The cemeteries I have the honor to represent are situated on the northeast coast of England in close proximity to the North Sea, where the climate is very unfavorable to gardening, especially in a severe winter. We have in Sunderland three large cemeteries, 115 acres in all, under the control of the Sunderland county borough council and are laid out in a way as to make them appear more like parks than cemeteries. In each cemetery we plant annually quite four hundred thousand flowering plants for spring and summer bloom. The spring flowers chiefly consist of early flowering Dutch bulbs, tulips, hyacinths and narcissus forming the greater part, large quantities of dark red wall flowers (about fifty thousand), together with primroses, myosokis, aubrietia, arabis Alpina compacta forming large masses by the long avenues. In addition to this my committee undertake on behalf of the relatives of deceased persons the care of grave lots and plant suitable flowering plants together with flowering shrubs twice during each year, by the way I may mention that I notice in the states that many burial authorities receive grants of money for the perpetual care of grave lots, which I fully approve of and hope that the authorities of our cemeteries in Great Britain will soon follow your example.
In the year 1875 when I first took over the care of one of our large cemeteries there were no flowers cultivated and remember asking the consent of my board to purchase four dozen geraniums to form a flower bed which was very conspicuous, being the only one in 24 acres of land; as time went on the number of flower plots increased also did the grave planting and now the fees from this source is one of the best sources of revenue, averaging near £1,000 per year. When the spring bloom is over the flower beds and borders are cleared and replanted with their summer occupants, such as geraniums, calceolarias, violas, echeveria, lobelia, begonias, East Lowthian stocks, the various kinds of asters and numerous kinds of annuals worked in large quantities, the demand for grave planting in our cemeteries has necessitated the erection of a large number of greenhouses which not only supply the graves but furnish a large number of plants for the general decoration of the vast grounds of our cemeteries.
I notice that the question of erecting glass houses in the cemeteries in the states has been much questioned as to whether they were profitable or otherwise here we find they are profitable but apart from this they enable us to do something to brighten the surroundings in our cemeteries where thousands of our people gather in large numbers. Since the introduction of floral decorations in our cemeteries it is not an unusual sight to see 5,000 people walking through the avenues, especially on a Sunday evening. This I think is sufficient evidence that a good floral display in a cemetery is a fit and proper thing to do. This may give rise to much discussion at the convention but this is my opinion founded on 31 years of practical experience.
Flowering shrubs also form a great part in our floral display, rhododendron, "Cunningham White" being especially useful. Olearia Hastu should always be in evidence with its large clusters of hawthorne like blossoms. This shrub is particularly hardy by the coast, makes a perfect bush and easy of cultivation. I have seen many changes and much progress in gardening, especially in floriculture, which has for its object the production of subjects of taste and curiosity.
For early spring bloom and making a brilliant display I strongly advocate "violas." No one need be afraid of being amply repaid for their labors if they try the following varieties. I grow annually about 20,000 plants.
"Viola cornuta papilio" a beautiful violet shade of blue is most profuse and makes a complete sheet of bloom, a good bed of this is not to be equaled by any, other variety so far as I know. "Viola cornuta rosea," is a new type very distinct and a color much needed. These I consider would give full satisfaction to any who do spring bedding.
The many varieties of self colored pansies form a striking contrast for spring bedding and are worthy of your attention, as I have grown large quantities with good effect.
Stocks are indispensible for spring bloom. For over 20 years I grew large quantities of the scarlet and white queen and improved the strain to a considerable degree until an average of 80 percent were doubles. In 1876 I obtained a few plants from a friend in Newcastle which averaged perhaps 10 percent of doubles the first year and improved each year until 80 percent was reached:
"Primroses," of late years I have been much interested in their cultivation.
Auriculas. This class of spring flowering plants is of great interest to those who can spare the time to give them the attention they require. For many years I purchased seed from specialists and had a failure each time, then I purchased strong plants which flowered well and in a hot season produced abundance of seeds which I had sown immediately it was ripe, under this treatment I produced thousands of plants.
Bulbs. As the cultivation of hyacinths, snowdrops, scillas, crocus and similar spring bulbs is so well known I do not propose to offer any remarks on them.
I trust this short paper has interested you as it is my earnest desire to do.

Where's TR when we need him?Oct 7, 2012 By Randy Tucker
America is ready for a different kind of political candidate.
Ever wonder where the root causes of the cynicism we so routinely accept as part of our daily existence originate?
It seem that nothing is ever really as it seems.You wonder at the creativity, craftiness and downright deviousness of whoever set the backdrop that allowed this cloud of skepticism to rule the day in America.
You wonder, then you drive to a gas station, fill up your car or truck, and you don't wonder anymore. There it is in spinning dollars and cents.
Polite conversations used to be commonplace when filling up your vehicle. But those days of civil discourse have gone the way of the man checking your oil and putting air in your tires.The gas pump has become the symbol of corporate greed in America and, indeed, the world. There is nothing, seemingly, that any of us can do about it.
The price per barrel hasn't been accurately reflected at the pump since 2003.A few out-of-touch people still attempt to blame OPEC for raising the price at the pump but the truth is that the U.S. took care of foreign price hikes when we took out Sadam Hussein.
Princes, kings and ayatollahs no longer set the price at the pump. The boys in Houston do. And they do it much better than anyone in the transSaharan region could ever imagine.
In previous decades, gasoline experienced boom and bust based on the antiquated concept of supply and demand. Just like any other commodity. This idiom like many of the others that extremist zealots desperately cling to, is no longer true.
Name an industry outside the energy realm that can raise prices because demand is low and then raise prices again when demand is high, or that can use a storm a thousand miles from their nearest facility as an excuse to hike the price. You can't, they don't exist.
We've entered a new era, an era when politicians can refer to corporations as people with a straight face and not even get challenged by that ridiculous statement by most of the population.
The sense of helplessness is simply overwhelming.
Yet this period of price gouging is not without precedent.America has experienced this many times before and, with the cyclical nature of history, we will experience it again, no doubt.
The "robber barons," as the outrageously wealthy men of the late 19th and early 20th centuries generically were known, preyed on America with an abandon that the executives at Exxon, Shell, Chevron and ConocoPhillps can still only dream about today.But remove just a few economic safeguards, and watch those corporate dreams quickly come true.
In spite of the impotent attempts of the federal government to regulate the American markets, these four corporations with their English ally, British Petroleum earned profits of $375 million per day in 2011.
Yes, that's correct -- $375 million in net profits daily for an annual net income of $137 billion (with a B) dollars. Not all that money went to stockholders and CEOs. A nice chunk of changes, $400,000 a day to be exact, went to professional lobbyists working the hallowed halls of congress to weaken safety standards and the $6.6 million in tax breaks that the oil industry gets daily. Makes you wonder doesn't it?
The robber barons met their match in the rambunctious Teddy Roosevelt. The Republican cousin of Franklin Roosevelt, the 20th century's greatest Democrat, shut down illicit meat packers, ended child labor, set limits on the hours a boss could require in a week, created the FDA, changed college football from a bloody maelstrom into a viable sport, and battled corporate greed with the dogged determination of a medieval crusader.
Possibly his greatest act was setting aside 230 million acres of land for preserves, reserves, forests and national parks. He tenaciously battled special interests' attempts to exploit these national resources throughout his life.
He doesn't sound much like the extremists representing the GOP today does he?
Teddy wasn't the party's nominee in his first term. Much like Eisenhower, he was a war hero, and William McKinley needed him on the ticket as his vice-presidential running mate to slow the tremendous grass roots support of democrat William Jennings Bryan.
In an era long before the tea party, grass roots campaigns often sprang out of the American heartland and reflected a political landscape every bit as fractured as the one we face today.
The populists of the last century differed greatly in their intent than the modern tea party. The early movement focused on the rights of workers, the ability to form labor unions, fair wages and equal rights.
They were juxtaposed with their modern populists who actively battle for corporations, for wealthy tax cuts, and for a return to a dog-eat-dog society.
Once again, we find the cyclical nature of history in action, albeit in a much more sinister, cynical form than ever before.
It's time for a different type of candidate. Someone who brings the unexpected to the table, someone for the average American, someone in touch with the middle and far from the screaming extremes.
Where are you, Teddy?

Coloring Room
Men at work
Coloring Room at the Boston Mat Leather Factory, Peabody, Massachusetts, 1918. In ball point pen is the notation, Coloring Room. This appears to be a posed photo of four men at work. To the left is a ladder leaning against a post. Beside it is a wooden barrel with metal hoops on its side. Behind the post almost in the center of the photo is a man wearing a hat and a vest. On the other side of some wheels and pulleys and machinery is another man, wearing glasses, vest and pants, appearing more like an office worker than a factory worker. The man behind him wears work overalls and stands with his hand on his hip. The man on the viewer's right might be sitting. Before him is a pile of hides.

More On:
A few years ago at E3 2005, I discovered
Gamer Graffix
; a company that was just beginning to make a name for itself. Since then, skins, graphics, stickers, or any other name you want to use for thematic console decor has become more and more popular. With that popularity has come several more companies fighting for market share in this growing niche. Most have managed to acquire rights to some properties that allow them to try and claim a unique portion of the skin space. I've recently come across
, which is the first company I feel has a truly unique perspective on this "skins game".
Rather than focus on marketing tie-ins to cartoon, movie, or other fictional characters, the folks at
as their name would imply have focused on music. From the man in black, Johnny Cash, to the iconic black and white photos of John Lennon in his round rimmed frames, these skins have the music industry covered. And with artists from Miles Davis to Bob Marley to Fergie, you can bet they have something to cater to the most demanding music aficionados tastes.
Of course, with all that musical range, there needs to be an equally wide range of devices to skin. 89 device options to be precise, including multiple flavors of the
, and both the
Rock Band
Guitar Hero
Not happy with the artist selection? Add your own.
allows you to create your own custom skins, uploading pictures onto the template of the device of your choice. In creating the custom skin I am using to review the skins, I found this tool to be a joy to use. Users can upload multiple pictures; resizing and overlaying them as you see fit. I used some pictures from our recent wedding to create the custom skin for my wifes PSP. The skin turned out terrific. The photos were professional quality, so that may have had something to do with the output, but the printed skin stands up nicely against professional prints of the same photos.
I'll check back in on these skins in a couple of weeks after I've had a chance to play with them.

I applied eezox gun cleaner to my maverick 88 ( lots of this stuff, like wet cloth full) and I notice on one side of the receiver some black/blueish color of the finish on my cloth. I looked at the gun and it was fine, but should I be worried later it can eat my finish off? I heard reports of some cheaper guns having finish problems with this product.

New releases by Intrada
Intrada has released this week 2 new titles in their soundtrack collection. The first is Michael Small's score to Child's Play and The First Born. The second is a CD release for Henry Jackman's Captain America: The Winter Soldier.
Premiere release of original soundtracks by Michael Small to pair of dramatic Paramount films. First up is intense, pulsating 1972 score from Sidney Lumet thriller Child's Play, starring James Mason, Robert Preston, Beau Bridges. Tale of gym teacher at Catholic boy's school at odds with other staff, finding himself amidst culture of violence, mysterious happenings inspires composer to create unassuming choral theme to anchor. As listener heads down quasi-religious path, composer then turns everything upside down with slashing, dissonant music for strings that unsettles, tears at the soul. Both styles of music compete throughout with edge going to aggressive, dissonant material. Second score plays under 1984 dramatics of First Born, directed by Michael Apted, starring Peter Weller, Christopher Collet, Teri Garr. Young actors Sarah Jessica Parker, Robert Downey, Jr. also feature. Modest family-setting is broken into intense world of drugs, violence when Teri Garr allows boyfriend Weller to move in, disrupting lives of her two sons (Collet, Corey Haim). Small anchors with meld of hip, youth flavor of the eighties and warm piano melody, then brings in dissonant electonic ideas as true character of violent Weller character unfolds. As sons finally fight back, Small joins forces with them, brings in dynamic orchestral material for powerful finish. Interestingly, Small roots much of score in his signature thriller mode by recording orchestral music straight, then adding layer of unstable electronic shadings to keep music slightly off pitch. Unusual musical approach to drama is notable. CD also features several alternates. Both scores presented in stereo from original vault elements housed at Paramount Pictures. Michael Small conducts. Intrada Special Collection release available while quantities and interest remain!

Original soundtrack from wildly popular second installment of Captain America franchise from Marvel Studios & Walt Disney Pictures, directed by Anthony & Joe Russo, starring Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, Samuel L. Jackson, Robert Redford. The filmmakers just keep getting these right: inter-related characters from The Avengers share both separate, linked storylines, this time focusing on Steve Rogers (a.k.a. Captain America), Nick Fury and Natasha Romanoff (a.k.a. Black Widow) plus surprises. Principal stars play with sincerity, supporting actor Robert Redford brings extra gravitas to his role as Alexander Pierce, writers do the story justice and everything moves at terrific pace. Box office success indicates fans like what they see and hear. Henry Jackman tackles scoring assignment with music both traditional in orchestral color, current in electronic vibe. Highlights are many: Warm, Coplandesque Americana for strings, trumpet stand tall during early 'Project Insight' sequence with Smithsonian images, elegiac strings lead during solemn 'Fallen', lean bassoon and austere harmonies for low brass anchor 'Alexander Pierce', intense rhythms for percussion, low strings, bass trombone propel action of 'Taking A Stand'. Deserving special spotlight is moving, serious 'Time To Suit Up': strings, trumpet build to crescendo, then upper strings join as orchestra delivers the goods. Considerable action follows, melding both dizzying state-of-the-art electronic rhythms with staccato trumpet, triumphant French horn, intense trombone. Just like the picture, Jackman expertly keeps one foot in past, one foot in present. Generous 75-minute CD with dynamic sonics, terrific portraits of lead characters inside booklet add up to dynamite experience! Nick Wollage records at magnificent Air Lyndhurst Studios in London. For fans of Marvel, Disney, Jackman and great entertainment, both movie and score deliver a knockout! CD released in Hollywood Records, Marvel Studios & Intrada co-brand series. Gavin Greenaway conducts.

Sure, winning an Academy Award gives you instant street cred in Hollywood. But earning the admiration from fellow actors (and the masses) is one thing…keeping it is another. Oscar can only take you so far, because in the end, it's your career choices that will determine your place in the respect-meter. Take it from these actors—winning an Oscar doesn't exactly equal a stellar resume.
Nicolas Cage
Won for: Best Actor in 1995 for "Leaving Las Vegas"
A peek at Nic Cage's filmography is like looking at a rollercoaster: there are some high points ("Leaving Las Vegas", "Adaptation", where he scored another Best Actor nomination), some low points (the movies he does for Jerry Bruckheimer, "The Wicker Man")…and some really, really low points ("Ghost Rider", anyone?). Since being exposed by his lawyer for "living beyond his means," one might wonder if Cage has been taking just about any movie offer that comes his way, if only to pay off his tax liens and other debts. "Saturday Night Live" funnyman Andy Samberg even impersonates Cage in a segment called "Get in a Cage", where he grills guest actors as to why they didn't cast him in their movies (since, as Samberg says, he makes "two movies a month for the last five years.") Maybe Cage is fooling us all with his bad career moves…maybe he has a super awesome project up his sleeve that will take him back to the top of that roller coaster? Perhaps those awful career choices are just his way of prepping for said movie role—he has been known to be a Method actor, and has said that he invented a new acting method, called "Nouveau Shamanic." Whatever. Wake us up when "Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance" is over.
Halle Berry
Won for: Best Actress in 2001 for "Monster's Ball"
Her portrayal of down-in-the-dumps widow Leticia Musgrove in "Monster's Ball" helped Ms. Berry make history: she was the first black woman to win in the Best Actress category. Of course, the golden statue helped boost her image in Hollywood: the movie "X2" received re-writes to give Berry more screen time, and she was able to ask for a bigger paycheck as a Revlon spokesperson. But while Oscar helped bring her image up, her career choices are another story. In 2002 she transformed into Bond girl "Jinx" in "Die Another Day", sporting a bikini as she emerged from the surf, a role which she said would "keep me still out there after winning an Oscar." A year later she appeared in the psychological thriller "Gothika", a moderate hit in the US box office. But it was "Catwoman" in 2005 that really did her in—the movie earned her a Razzie Award for Worst Actress, and she was also nominated for a Razzie for Worst Screen Couple. Berry managed to make more than a few (or maybe all) unmemorable films after that slump. However, she recently earned a Golden Globe nomination for her portrayal as a 70's gogo-dancer with dissociative identity disorder in "Frankie and Alice". Who knows…maybe Berry will surprise us with an Academy Award-worthy performance next year. Hopefully in a role that doesn't require pleather spandex.
Anna Paquin
Won for: Best Supporting Actress in 1994 for "The Piano"
Paquin brought home the Oscar when she was only 11 years old—making her the second youngest actor to win an Academy Award. Fast forward to 18 years later…and it seems Paquin isn't gunning to win another Oscar anytime soon. Since "The Piano," she took on forgettable roles, such as the "troubled daughter who adopts orphaned goslings" (1996's "Fly Away Home"), the leading man's popular younger sister (1999's "She's All That"), an obsessed groupie (2000's "Almost Famous"), and a teenage daughter destined to die because they live in a haunted house (2002's "Darkness"). While she made fanboys giddy with her portrayal as Rogue in the "X-Men" franchise (a role that was also forgettable), Paquin ultimately concentrated on TV. In 2008, she took on the role of Sookie Stackhouse in the vampire series "True Blood." While the first season was undoubtedly stellar (she even won a Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Television Series Drama), her performance in the next three seasons irritated viewers. She was later nominated for a 2010 Golden Globe for Best Actress for her performance in the CBS TV Movie "The Courageous Heart of Irena Sendler", but her movie choices continue to falter: her last roles included the flop "The Romantics" and "Scream 4." We'll look at the bright side: at least she's not in "Twilight."
Cuba Gooding Jr.
Won for: Best Supporting Actor in 1996 for "Jerry McGuire"
Cuba Gooding Jr. owned the catchphrase "Show me the money!" That's because, after winning for his performance as football player Rod Tidwell in "Jerry McGuire", it seemed like Gooding went for just about any project that would give him the "money"! After a brief supporting role in the highly awarded film "As Good as it Gets", Gooding went on to make flop after flop. It's a good thing that he was given a star in the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2002—otherwise, they wouldn't even think of giving him one: in 2003 alone, he earned three Razzie nominations for Worst Actor for his films "Boat Trip", "The Fighting Temptations" (opposite Beyonce Knowles), and "Radio" (where he played a mentally challenged sports and radio enthusiast). In 2007, he was praised for his small role in Ridley Scott's "American Gangster"—only to be nominated yet again for two more Razzies, this time for the unremarkable "Norbit" and "Daddy Day Camp." Let's hope Hollywood is still showing him the money 'til now—because it sure doesn't look like they'll give him an Oscar again anytime soon!
Editor's Note: Whose Oscar should be taken back? Mira Sorvino? Jaime Foxx? Al Pacino for starring with Adam Sandler in "Jack and Jill"? Sound off in the comments!
Sure, winning an Academy Award gives you instant street cred in Hollywood. But earning the admiration from fellow actors (and the masses) is one thing…keeping it is another. Oscar can only take you so far, because in the end, it's your career choices that will determine your place in the respect-meter. Take it from these actors—winning an Oscar doesn't exactly equal a stellar resume.

In the offseason, it can seem like an eternity for something of worthwhile hockey discussion in the months leading to the opening of training camp. Normally this is the case, but this offseason has provided a little bit more drama as free agency has slowed leading to more drawn out speculation as to which players are moving where. It still is not settled, and the same can be said for this summer's most high profile unrestricted free agent in Russian-sniper Ilya Kovalchuk. The discussion has had Kovalchuk been courted by long term offers by the New York Islanders, Los Angeles Kings but most notably the New Jersey Devils. In fact, that is the 'big' talk of the NHL right now after the Devils' 17-year, $102 million contract offer was denied by the league as they felt it circumvented the collective bargaining agreement. I could spend a while explaining why the front-loaded contracts (like what Kovalchuk was offered) that have already been given to Detroit's Johan Franzen, Chicago's Marian Hossa, and Vancouver's Roberto Luongo turn the league's salary cap into a joke but that really isn't the premise of this article. I would like to talk about another Russian-born scoring sensation, Alexander Ovechkin. The NHL's #2 most marketed player apart from Sidney Crosby, Ovechkin has already been the focus of features on the NHL Network and his picture has graced the cover of NHL-based video games. He has dazzled fans all across the knees as he has pulled off unbelievable goal after unbelievable goal. Like many major sports stars, from "A-Rod" to "T.O." to "LeBron" to "Kobe" this star was given his own standard nickname in "Ovie." Singlehandedly, "Ovie" has resurrected what was one of the most pathetic franchises in the NHL and the last few seasons Verizon Center has been filled with red-jersey clad fans, most of whom sport #8 Ovechkin. So needless to say he's a pretty big deal and rightfully so. Yet how big of a deal is he to those that don't follow the NHL very closely?
This is the question that perplexed me, an avid NHL fan who now resides in South Central Wisconsin after growing up in hockey-mad Minnesota. The NHL has spent millions of dollars marketing Ovechkin, and has committed itself to trying to give him and the Capitals as many nationally-televised games as possible, especially the head-to-head matchups with the Pittsburgh Penguins led by golden boy Sidney Crosby. There is little doubt that the NHL changed its scheduling practice so that all of the league's teams could cash in on the fan draws that were Ovechkin and Crosby. So what has been the benefit of all of this effort by the league to promote the two as the latest version of Wayne Gretzky and Mario Lemieux; players with distinctly different styles but both of whom are immensely talented. Both are players that also seem to be able to galvinize hockey fans where they tend to like one superstar player but not the other. So has this effort to promote Alexander Ovechkin been worth it? I decided to put it to a test. I decided to survey as many people as I could on a very simple multiple choice question. So here is the question I used in my survey.
Alexander Ovechkin is…
A.) the President of Russia.
B.) a Russian hockey player.
C.) a character from a Russian children's story.
D.) the first person sent into space.

I surveyed 129 people individually through the course of a day at my job in February during the middle of the NHL season. I am a school teacher and before anyone is outraged at this use of instructional time I think it does serve an educational purpose to see how knowledgeable both the students and staff are at my school about something you could say is part popular culture and part current events. The school that I teach at does have a few girls that play high school hockey as part of a consortium of a few other nearby districts, but the nearest major hockey program besides high school teams are the men's and women's teams at the University of Wisconsin: Madison. The nearest professional hockey team is two hours away in Milwaukee and the nearest NHL teams are a virtual tie in distance (at about 3 hours away) between the Minnesota Wild and the Chicago Blackhawks. So needless to say it is not a hockey-rich area of Wisconsin and for the most part is very similar to most of the United States. If the NHL wishes to continue to grow it is these people in non-traditional hockey markets that are important to attract. I surveyed 98 students and 31 members of the staff. As I said I asked the questions one person at a time in an isolated location to deter possible cheating as much as I could. I also never informed those that were surveyed of the correct answer until I was completely finished with the survey. I will separate the results between the students and staff so you can see how the two groups responded.
Student results (98 surveyed)
A.) 21 respondents (21.4%)
B.) 44 respondents (44.8%)
C.) 6 respondents (6.1%)
D.) 27 respondents (27.5%)
Overall, the students were correct 45% of the time and wrong around 54% of the time. Public schools in the United States are often critisized about the performance of students on standardized tests. It is unlikely that this specific question would ever be used on a standardized test but it is hardly a question that is beyond the realm of general knowledge. So how did the staff members fare?
Staff results (31 surveyed)
A.) 7 respondents (21.2%)
B.) 13 respondents (45.5%)
C.) 3 respondents (9%)
D.) 8 respondents (24.2%)
Remarkably (or perhaps painfully depending on how you look at it), the results were almost identical as the students with 45.5% of staff members selecting the correct answer and 54.5% selecting the incorrect answer. So in this case it shows that age and even education level does not make a statistically significant difference to the results to the answers of this question.
There are some factors that could've effected the outcome of this survey. One, at my school it is a well-known fact that I am an avid hockey fan. Considering it was myself who gave the survey that may have had an effect on the results. If I were to have given this survey to a group of people who had no idea I was a hockey fan it would be intriguing to see if the results would be different. Many of the respondents, even amongst those who selected the correct answer said, "I have no idea" and perhaps I should've recorded that as a possible selection. Since I did not record a precise number I do not wish to guess as to how many people really had no idea at all. Another obvious variable is the area of the country where you are performing the survey. If you were in Minnesota I'd like to hypothesize more people would select the correct answer. Suppose I gave this survey in the Washington D.C. area I would also guess that the results could be markedly different, but that is part of what makes surveys interesting. Yet that could easily be added in an updated survey if those of you out there have nothing to do and like analyzing results. So if you feel up to it, please repeat this survey and see what you come up with and I'd encourage you to share your results here.
So what does this survey possibly mean? It indicates that despite all of the NHL's efforts to promote him, that most Americans both young and adults do not know who Alexander Ovechkin is. What are the reasons for this general lack of knowledge of arguably the league's most exciting player can really only be speculated at. A lack of a TV deal that has games regularly played on the popular cable network ESPN is part of this, or cultural ignorance over the fact he a Russian player and they may struggle to recognize his name from other famous Russian people. Either way it indicates the league is getting just nominal bang for the buck by promoting Ovechkin. I have little doubt the league's marketing department had hoped the 2010 Olympics would've perhaps provided a jump in league viewership and interest but it only recieved modest gains after what was a fantastic tournament. The league's marketeers must continue to be creative in their approach to promoting the league's stars but they obviously have a lot of work to do before "Ovie" is just as synonymous as 'Gretzky' was in popular culture.

Poll: Mass. Health Reform, Trashed By Others, Supported By Residents
WBUR's Martha Bebinger reports:
BOSTON — Across the national airwaves and on the Republican campaign trail, the Massachusetts coverage law that many now call "Romneycare" is routinely trashed. Here's Texas Gov. Rick Perry in a debate last October:
"Romneycare has driven the cost of small business insurance premiums up by 14 percent over the national average in Massachusetts."
And from former Sen. Rick Santorum last month we heard, "it (Romneycare) was the basis of Obamacare and it was an abject failure."
So you might think this drubbing would rub off on Massachusetts residents, about two-thirds of whom have consistently endorsed the state's coverage plan since it passed in 2006. Not so. In the latest WBUR poll, 62 percent support the law and 33 percent oppose it.

The 4th down play for Michigan was a 4th and goal from the 1 yard line late in the second quarter.
Member since 19 May 2013 | Blog

That is incorrect - Darrell Funk (OL coach under Hoke) was not retained...I saw this written earlier also. The OL coach under the new staff is TImDrevno..who has coached OL under Harbaugh at San Diego and Stanford and spent last year at USC. Drevno will also be OC. As you could imagine, there would have been pitchforks in Ann Arbor if Funk was retained.
Easy on the "general studies" comments...you seem to not be aware that one of the great staff writers on this 11w site is a Michigan grad with a general studies degree.
Sharp hates Michigan even more than he seems to dislike MSU and OSU. While he did end up being right in the end, early in the season last year he was the only voter that did not have Michigan in their top 25 after Michigan beat ND. He definitely does not discriminate among B1G teams and constantly writes about how the conference cant compete.
You can imagine the uproar this was causing among Michigan fans during halftime yesterday before it was determined that there were actually 11 on the field.
There were actually 11 men on the field for Michigan on that field goal. If you watch the replay on tv, it is very clear there are 11..the photo just hides two with one of them being the long snapper hidden below. I dont fault you for not watching the replay given how bad the game was but all the M fans who initially thought there was 9 did finally agree there was 11.
Here is presnap photo of kick which I verified by rewatching...
Reality is no one really knows because Hoke doesnt comment on injuries unless the player is out for the year (as with Derrick Green and Khalid Hill). Since no one knows, it just leads to lots of unsubstantiated rumors and stories. What is known is he was on crutches for awhile on campus and that he was reported to walk with a big limp on the sidelines at last few games. Brian Cook, editor of mgoblog, who posted the above says it is strictly injury related absence. Nick Baumgardner, the MLive beat writer, says Peppers is injured even though UM doesnt confirm it. So the likely story is he is probably injured, to what extent no one knows, but since Hoke doesnt comment on it the result is a constant stream of rumors and conspiracy theories. Given that Hoke hasnt come out and said Peppers is done for the year, it means they must at least think he has a chance to come back and play since Hoke says he will state when a player is done for the year as he has done with Green and Hill. But in the end, its all speculation.
That seems to be the rumor with the most credibility. Brian, from mgoblog, who wrote the excerpt at the top of this post later commented that it was strictly injury related. I wouldnt put any meaning into the depth chart as he has been at the top of the depth chart the entire time he has been out. Hoke doesnt bother changing the depth chart unless the guy is out for the season as he took down Derrick Green and Khalid Hill when they were announced as out for the year. I think the rumors of dissention with Peppers is just paranoid posters on mgoblog that always try to create some conspiracy theory and it grows since Hoke wont talk about injuries.
If he didnt come back at all, he could get a medical redshirt as he only played in 3 games...first half of App St before being injured, Miami (OH), and Utah. You can play in up to 4 games and still get a medical redshirt.
No...it was a different issue with Devin.
The issue for Devin was not the number of games (as he only played in 3 games in 2010) but whether he was in fact injured. Many believe he was not really injured and could have played in games since he was still on the depth chart. Obviously, Michigan had to file a lot of medical documents with the NCAA to get the redshirt. Neither of us have seen those medical documents so dont really know what they say but I understand where the skepticism comes from.
He will have no problem getting the medical redshirt. The rule is that he plays in no more than 30% of scheduled games. 30% of 12 is 3.6 which gets rounded up to 4 so you are allowed to play in 4 games and still get a medical redshirt. Bryant got injured in the 5th game last year so that is why he couldnt get one.
It was not used this past weekend. Im fairly certain the last one was after the PSU game last year. For your enjoyment, below you can see the announcement from last October on Twitter:
By request of our valiant mods, lockdown initiated. 100 points to comment, 500 to create new thread. Good luck out there.
— mgoblog (@mgoblog) October 13, 2013
Another off the wall suggestion that mgoblog uses. In the case of extreme chaos on the boards, they have issued a temporary lockdown where they raise the requirements for posting on the board for a very short time period (such as 24 hours). In these cases, for a short period they raised requirements for posting a new topic to 500 points and the requirements for commenting at all to 100 points. This was invoked last year after the Penn State loss/meltdown drove the board into a "Fire Borges" state of chaos. I cant recall it being used since...but then again it probably moved closer to that point after Saturday. Its probably effective after a really bad loss to prevent the inevitable flow of negativity that always appears.
Just as a data point, Mgoblog does exactly that. 100 points there is minimum for creating any new threads. It is a good deterrent to new accounts being set up for the sole purpose of causing trouble.
Here's even a link from April showing a game scheduled for that date...
This happens every year with lots of visits. Kids see an exciting game so they say they will visit a college on that date but then notice a conflict later. Given he plays almost all of his games on Fridays, it is understandable (to a degree) that he may have thought he would have had that date open but failed to bother to check. Obviously this has no reflection on his interest level in OSU but rather that he simply forgot to check his game schedule to see that was his only Saturday game.
Hoke in his press conference today said Kalis could start this weekend.Clearly his position on the chart is just because of his injury. Hoke had said Kalis was leading at that position before he got hurt. If healthy, Kalis will likely be the guy at LG and nothing has really changed.
Nothing yet...Pretrial hearing was rescheduled for September 8th.
Hoke said Kalis will be back to full practice on Monday so should not miss games because of injuries.
This is correct..Kalis was held out of recent intradquad scrimmage because of back injury..so he wasnt listed with the starters. But Hoke had said there was no question Kalis was leading at RG before the injury. He said it was minor injury but you never know with back injuries.
Regarding the walkon question in original post, Glasgow started at C last year and was originally a walk-on but was on scholarship last year. Glasgow had started at guard for first couple games before switching to center. His position this year will depend on who else is in the best five as he has versatility to play a couple positions.
Everyone on all the M boards feels he should never play a down again and think that will likely be the end result.
York is already suspended indefinitely and he is not at fall camp or participating in any team activities as a result. I think most dont feel there is a harm in at least following through with the legal process and any formal school process as long as he doesnt participate in any team activities in the meantime. If the right decision is made in the end, there is nothing wrong with waiting until everything is investigated correctly to make that final decision...as long as he is not participating in anything in the meantime.
Yes - thats him (now he is a BTN analyst too).
I was also pretty confused with why DJ had an issue with this. Ray was basically saying that right now MSU is OSU's biggest game now so if anything it could be read as an insult to Michigan. The first part was him just saying that MSU has what OSU wants, which is the B1G title that MSU won last year, so for now at least MSU is the big opponent for OSU.
The issue is they dont have time to send the tickets out so they send them via email so you can print it out. But they do allow you to pick them up directly at the athletic ticket office if its a problem to give your email to get them electronically. Not to mention I assume most of the people getting tickets for this will be season ticket holders who they already have their emails.
I know you are just giving this a hard time because its a Michigan thing but some Michigan fans are using the same arguments as above which I cant understand. You have to admit that its just Michigan fans whining as even this argument is solved by picking up the tickets,
Yeah.. I used to just have no avatar but I felt like half the time I had to write the line "From a M fan's perspective" or had to identify myself so somone didnt think I was trying to pose as an OSU fan while giving some info from the Michigan side. I finally realized it was just easier to put that M there so there was nothing hidden.
You arent alone..there are a lot of Michigan fans that also have that bias and have complained about this event for some reason. Yes - the cynical view is that this may be largely a PR move to generate goodwill from the fans. But isnt that what a fan of a team should want - for tha AD to have events that will generate goodwill from fans?

WHEN you scrutinise Celtic's transfer dealings last summer there have been some successes and some failures.
The strikers who have been brought in to replace Gary Hooper up front have not - not yet anyway - filled his boots.
But Virgil van Dijk has certainly filled the void left by Kelvin Wilson in defence.
In fact, the young Dutch centre-half has proved to be a far better acquisition than his predecessor.
Kelvin took his time to settle at Parkhead, but Virgil has proved to be a great catch straight away.
He is solid defensively, he is good on the ball, he is big, he is strong, he is quick and he has scored good goals.
He has got all the attributes that he needs to enjoy a very successful career.
Sometimes you get young players like that who fail to show it during matches, but that does not apply to this boy.
When a foreign player joins Celtic and excels it tends to generate a lot of interest in clubs in England and that is what has happened with Virgil.
He has been linked with moves to several Barclays Premier League clubs in recent days - including Arsenal and Manchester City.
It looks like the Scottish champions could sell on the player, who cost them in the region of £2.5million, for a tidy profit.
They have certainly managed to do that in recent years with the likes of Gary Hooper, Ki Sung-Yueng, Victor Wanyama and others.
But there comes a stage when Celtic have to say enough is enough. And that time may be now.
I don't think they can keep accepting offers whenever a club comes in for a player - even if they can make millions of pounds on the transaction.
If the Scottish champions keep buying and selling then they will be unable to get any stability.
Virgil has only just arrived here. He has become a key player in the side. The last thing Celtic need to do is to sell him.
Of course, every player has a price. But I do wonder if Celtic are sometimes selling too readily.
In the case of Van Dijk it could be time for the club to come out and say: "We are not going to listen to offers."
Selling him should be the furthest thing from their minds as they try to build another successful team.
If he keeps playing the way he has been then it might be something they have no choice but to consider.
But the player has given no indication that he wants to leave. He appears to be very happy with his lot at the club.
The only thing that may be an issue is that he has not been called into the Netherlands squad and the World Cup in Brazil is fast approaching.
Virgil has played for his country's Under-21 team before, but he has not featured for his senior national side.
The Dutch are a top quality international team and will go to South America in the summer with hopes of a triumph. He will do well to break into that set-up.
But if he keeps playing well for Celtic then it is not inconceivable that he will get the nod. So why not try to hold on to him for a couple of years?
Efe Ambrose has spoken of his desire to see the current Celtic squad stay together, and even be strengthened, over in Turkey this week and I can understand what he is thinking.
Celtic cannot keep chopping and changing their squad every season and expect to enjoy success domestically and in Europe.
I think the comings and goings in the summer have shown us that it is not always easy to replace your top players, although Teemu Pukki and Amido Balde both scored a goal each last night as the Hoops beat Trabzonspor 3-1 in the Antalya Cup in Turkey and that will have done both of Neil Lennon's Bhoys the world of good.
Would Celtic have done better in the Champions League if Hooper had still been at the club? I think there is a chance they might have.
In the opening group game against AC Milan in the San Siro they failed to score despite dominating for much of the match.
If they still had their English hitman then they could very possibly have netted an all-important goal.
I can appreciate why Neil is wanting to bring in one or two new players this month.
That would give them time to bed in and be ready for the Champions League qualifiers next season when they come round after the World Cup.
It would help him, too, if Celtic held on to important players like Virgil van Dijk.

Emergency services are at the scene of a serious collision involving a number of vehicles on the A30 westbound at Blisland.
The collision, involving a van, box van and lorry, happened on the single carriageway section shortly before the dual carriageway, shortly after 3.45pm today.
The road was closed as well as the on-slip to the A30 at Bodmin. The westbound carriageway has now reopened.
Collision investigators and scenes of crime officers are at the scene as well as the fire service.
The eastbound carriageway was closed at Carminnow and is expected to be closed for at least six hours while an investigation of the scene takes place.
Police say it will be closed until midnight at the earliest.
There are two casualties with serious injuries; one was airlifted to Derriford Hospital in Plymouth.
The collision involved a heavy goods vehicle and a box van.
Inspector Martin Taylor, based at Bodmin, said: "It will take time to clear the carriageway and recover the load from the HGV however we will get the road opened as soon as possible.
"I'd like to thank drivers for their patience and advise them to plan their journey this evening to avoid the area."

The San Fernando Valley's housing market scored a trifecta in April with the median price, sales and inventory all increasing from the prior month, according to the Southland Regional Association of Realtors.
Sales made the biggest jump, soaring 32 percent to 546 properties, the group said last week, but still down 2.5 percent from a year ago.
The median price had the smallest gain, rising just 0.8 percent from April to $519,000, but that is the second highest since the market began rebounding from the Great Recession.
The numbers add up to what is starting to look like a typical market.
It is a good sign, said Jim Link, CEO of the Van Nuys-based trade association.
"I think we've kind of leveled off. I hope we see that the month-to-month sales numbers go up and in the short term pass or equal last year's," Link said. "It's been so long since we've had what I call a normal market. Prices are going up but they are not going through the roof and (interest) rates are still at a good level."
The median price of a house did increase 13 percent from $460,000 a year ago.
But that could be the last double digit percentage price gain for a while. A year ago this month the median hit $520,000 and April's was just $1,000 under it.
"Price increases are slowing down," association president Roger Hance said. "Buyers realize it makes no sense to wait if the future holds higher prices and probably slightly higher interest rates on home loans."
Inventory made another big jump, increasing 43 percent to 1,599 properties at the end of April, enough for a 2.2 month supply at the current sales pace but still considered low. Seventy-nine properties were add to the market between March and April.
In the smaller condo market, sales fell 5 percent from a year ago to 183 units but they increased 35 percent from March. The median condo price increased 13 percent from a year ago to $312,000 and dipped 4 percent from March.
In the Santa Clarita Valley, there were 210 home sales, one more than a year ago but 76 more than in March. The median house price increased 17 percent from a year earlier to $485,000.
Condo sales fell 18.5 percent from a year ago to 88 units and the median price rose 10 percent to $265,500.

Tribesports User of the Week: Micah G
Posted by Micah G under Adventure Racing, Golf, Fitness & Training on 22 August 2012 at 11:00 PM
Love the Tribal face paint in your profile picture - what were you doing in it?
My college has a midnight fun run and my friends and I decided to dress up as fierce Apache warriors. Perhaps it was just an excuse to wear a loin cloth and face paint. It was a great night, but my loin cloth was too tight so my running form definitely suffered. I never would have thought to use it as my Tribesports profile picture, but I was suddenly reminded of it by the default image that appears when people don't choose a profile picture (the faceless silhouette with two paint streaks). I modeled my picture after those default pictures. In the future, I plan on changing my photo to something that better shows my personality or athletic endeavors, but in that new picture I still plan to have the two orange painted stripes on my left cheek to show my Tribesports pride!
Which has been your toughest Challenge to date and which has been your favourite?
Honestly, the 400m Off the Couch Swim was almost the death of me. Many years ago, I had been involved in swimming and figured I still had the stamina and power to put up a decent time. I underestimated how much my sedentary college lifestyle had affected me. I floundered through those 400 meters (the lifeguard looked concerned and ready to jump in) and posted a terrible time. It was a great wakeup call to get in better shape and relearn how to distance swim. Currently my favorite Challenge(s) is a three way tie between the Tribe-a-lympics Swimming, Cycling and Running events! It is quite motivating to be exercising as part of a team, and the added incentive of those special medals certainly doesn't hurt either. Many days I have found myself performing a mini-triathlon so that I can log distance for all three challenges!
You've taken on the Swear word push-up Challenge, how full was your metaphorical swear jar?
Well, not only did I take it on, but I created it! I have quite the colorful vocabulary, so I figured this challenge would either help me reign in my naughty language, or help me get in great shape. It was win-win! I made it through the first two days of the challenge with just 40 push-ups (4 swear words), but that third day ended up being a nightmare. I got invited to gamble at the horseraces, and my horses ended up usually finishing dead last. Many people got to witness the strange site of some guy busting out pushups after almost every race. Even the one time my horse won, I accidently swore in celebration. I honestly lost track of how many total push-ups I did, but I woke up extremely sore the next day. Luckily it was only a three day challenge, so I cussed up a storm on that fourth day, guilt free!
Tough Mudders are becoming so popular, how did you find your Tough Mudder experience?
It was incredible. I have never been in a race that involved more cooperation and camaraderie. Calling it a "race" even fails to capture what Tough Mudders are about. This was a 12-mile group fitness celebration. Complete strangers help boost you over walls, offer their hand as you climb up obstacles, and basically demonstrate that you aren't their competitor, you are just a fellow Tough Mudder. It is impossible not to get caught up in this attitude. I spent 30 minutes at the top of a slicked down half-pipe helping to catch people who ran up and basically hurled themselves at us in the hope that we could grab onto them. Someone had grabbed me and pulled me to the top, and there was no way I was going to move on without paying it forward. We made human chains to pull people up, and the people we pulled up generally stayed to help. No one seemed to care about finishing first, they cared about everyone finishing. That was a defining moment of the Tough Mudder for me; it was sportsmanship unlike anything I had ever seen. None of the obstacles were scary to me after that, because I knew that every person around me was ready to help if I needed it. I plan on doing many more Tough Mudders in the future, and I would certainly recommend them to anyone. You even get a free beer at the end!
There's a great variety of sports in your achievements - which sports are still on the to do list?
I have never run a marathon, or done an Ironman triathlon, so those are major long term goals at the top of my to-do list. Watching the Olympics has also given me the desire to try some of the more obscure (to me) sports, like handball and water polo. As well, I read the Hunger Games book series and saw the finals of Olympic archery (poor U.S. team), so learning how to shoot a bow is definitely on my to-do list. Pole vaulting and javelin also both seem like fun, but I hear pole vaulting is extremely dangerous and no one will trust me with a pointy spear, so who knows if I actually will give those two a try. Honestly, there really isn't a sport out there that I wouldn't want to try; I just love learning new skills and getting better at new sports!
With golf becoming an Olympic sport in 2016, will you be heading down the driving range to hone your skills?
I would love to be in the Olympic golf event for Rio, but that is many driving range visits away from happening! However, I am on a challenge to hit 10,000 golf shots by the end of the year, so that should get me over to the course enough to kick start my way to the gold! When I am accepting my medal, I will most certainly remember Tribesports and how great it has been as a motivational tool and a supporting community! Maybe I'll create a "win the Rio Olympics gold medal for golf" challenge so I can have extra incentive to practice.
Which Tribesports users inspire you?
First, of course, I have to mention Kaye D. When I joined the site and noticed that there was a ranking system, I just had to check out who was number 1. I was quite impressed with her profile, and the longer I've been on here the more I have seen how involved she is both athletically and intellectually. She logs impressive training runs, and then turns around and gets involved in creating great challenges and discussions. Helen T and Maria G are two users who always seem to have nice things to say to encourage me, and having a cheering section like that is inspirational! They seem like great people who are motivated to achieve, and having people like that in your corner certainly helps! Rob R was the first person who ever followed me on Tribesports, so I also have to note that he was inspiring in that way. Got me hooked on the site once I could see that other people would follow my progress and cared about it!
What's your favourite sports quote?
I LOVE quotes (even made a tribe devoted to them) so it is painful to be asked to pick just one. But right now this one stands out for me:
"The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of will." – Vince Lombardi.
Justin B, Peter M and 35 othersJustin B, Peter M, Sonu K, Manu S, Jack A, Steve R, Tony G, Adrian K, Manu S, Sandra B, Shelenova N, Akiem F, Almon S, Neil B, Rob R, Cory W, Laura N, Scott M, Michelle A, Tiffany G, Frank P, Elizabeth D, Karen L, Jane H, Don J, Anna L, Paul W, Samarth A, Lorain R, Lauren M, Lena C, Lori W, Carol Ann B, Casey K, Aaditi K, Ginny S and Joanne H encouraged this.
Congrats Micha :-D
Nice going Micah! I love the interview :) You bring so many great challenges to TribeSports, the community is lucky to have you!
Congrats Micah! Great interview. I love some of the challenges you have created. Had to start over with Swear word push-up, yes I swear to much and I am lousy at push ups so still working on this one. Oh by the way that is a great quote.
Lori W, Carol Ann B and 1 otherLori W, Carol Ann B and Micah G encouraged this.
I laughed out loud at the mental picture of some guy suddenly dropping and giving 10 at the races. I'd have paid good money to see that. Anyway, congrats on being TS User of the Week.
Carol Ann B, Lena C and 1 otherCarol Ann B, Lena C and Micah G encouraged this.
Well done Micah, much deserved! :o)
Well done MIcah...
Congrats Micah! What a great interview, very inspiring indeed :)
Thank you everyone! Super happy for this honor and to get all these lovely comments from my fellow Tribesports members!
Yyaaaaaaayyyyy Micah!! congrats! very well deserved :)
Congratulations! :)
Congrats Micah, very well deserved :)
Nice Micah! Although, you will have to change your profile picture when you get your TS shirt. I'm sure you can find the face paint again.
Well done Micah - I am delighted for you :)
Congrats, Micah... well done!
Congratulations @miahg !! I hope you've been able to find a club somewhere that will teach you archery or you will in the future - its brilliant fun :-D

YPI celebrated the opening of the Financial Empowerment Window (Ventanilla de Asesoría Financiera), a program which provides free, culturally and linguistically competent financial counseling and education resources on-site at the Consulate General of Mexico, located in the Los Angeles Promise Zone. The Ventanilla is a partnership among the Consulate General General of Mexico, the Mayor's Office, yPI, Southern California Grantmakers, adn YPI's longtime partner, Citi.
[Photo: The ribbon cutting was led by Dixon Slingerland, Executive Director of YPI; Ana Guerrero, Chief of Staff for Mayor Eric Garcetti; Claudia Ruiz Massieu, Secretary of Foreign Affairs for Mexico; Carlos Sada Solana, Ambassador of Mexico to the United States; James Alva, SVP for Southern California of Citi Community Development; and Christine Essel, the President & CEO of Southern California Grantmakers]
In 2015-2016, the Citi Foundation and Citi Community Development have awarded nearly $1 million to YPI's programs serving low-income families in Los Angeles. Our partnership has resulted in programs that provide financial capabilities training, asset building, and matched savings accounts for families and students. This year, 1,269 individuals have received comprehensive financial education workshops in order to start saving for college. Over 360 matched savings accounts have been opened, representing more than $100,000 earmarked for college costs, home purchases and business start-ups. At YPI's Hollywood FamilySource Center alone, families that participated in asset building programs collectively increased their income more than $600,000 in 2015.
This month, YPI received the Citi Community Progress Makers award, a two-year initiative by Citi Foundation to support organizations that are transforming low-income communities. This two-year unrestricted grant of $500,000 will enable YPI to strenghten service delivery to low-income youth and families, and continue our mission to break the cycle of intergenerational poverty in Los Angeles. We value this inspiring partnership and look forward to continued service for our students and families.

This is definitely good news. Designer Martin Margiela will be launching a home collection. Finally you can also decorate your home with his smart and clean design objects.
"Maison Martin Margiela on Tuesday showcased its new furniture prototypes and home objects at the international furniture and design exhibition Salone del Mobile here.
Wallpaper, bookshelves, lamps and carpets were some of the new items on display in the showroom, which reproduced the company's interior design workshop in Paris.
The project is still a work-in-progress and will likely range from the design of objects and furniture in a self-produced collection or in the development of one-off partnerships, according to Pungetti. The company will also do commissions for individuals or public interior design and architecture." Via WWD.

The slate has been wiped clean for the former Valley West Days Inn property in Arcata as its new owners recently paid off the former owner's outstanding city debts.
Arcata City Manager Randy Mendosa said the new owners paid more than $179,000 to the city for delinquent bills dating back to 2008. Previous owner Silver Creek Hospitality, formerly called Penta Hospitality, owed the city for unpaid transient occupancy taxes, utility charges and unpaid garbage bills.
The new owners were required to settle the lien placed on the property by the city in April 2011. Mendosa said the new owners have been working with the city since purchasing the bank-owned property in recent months.
He said the new owners are being represented by Matt Babich with Humboldt Property Management. Babich was unavailable for comment.
Mendosa said he's not sure what the new owners have planned, but that reopening the property will help complete the Valley West area.
"It's very exciting to imagine that that hotel could be up and running again," Mendosa said.
The hotel closed in January 2011, when its municipal water service was disconnected by the city due to nonpayment. Before that, the city took Silver Creek Hospitality to court in 2010 for unpaid water bills and bed taxes. The business was ordered to pay a judgment of about $94,000, but wasn't able to pay new bills accrued since June 2010.
Harbor Freight Tools head cashier Margella Funez said she hasn't seen a drop-off in business since the former Days Inn closed, but that a new business couldn't hurt.
"I think if there's another hotel here, that'll bring more business," Funez said.
Carl's Jr. General Manager Kerym Lopez agreed.
"People staying at the hotels will walk around and say, 'There's a Carl's Jr., let's go eat there,'" Lopez said. "I think it could help."

In putting together the mirror display above the changing table in the baby's room, I had a frame with no mirror. I had planned on buying a mirror blank for it, but after they were hung, I liked the look of one frame with no mirror. However, it did need something. My mom had my sisters and me memorize a little poem by Emily Dickinson when we were young. It's entitled They May Not Need Me. I took the last verse from the two-verse poem and typed it out using Sego Print font in Word. Then I traced that onto muslin fabric, changed the look of the first A, and added some inspiration from the fabric I used in the room. If you want the PDF for what I put together, you can download it HERE I used the following embroidery floss colors:
purple-333 (top flower and swirl)
turquoise blue-3765 (outlining top flower and swirl)
yellow-743 (small swirl and bird wing)
light pink-151 (bird body)
raspberry pink-3831 (text)
brown-3371 (lower flower and swirl)
Nothing fancy, and super simple. But I love how it turned out and it's another personal touch to the room.

VENUS, THE LONELY GODDESS (155 pp.) John ErskineMorrow ($2.75).
Whatever the ancient Greeks may have thought, life among the gods up there on Olympus wasn't always a bowl of nectar. Take the case of Venus, or let Author Erskine take it. Her mother-in-law Juno was a suspicious, embittered shrew. Sister-in-law Minerva, an athletic type, tried to knife her as soon as her back was turned.
Venus' husband, Vulcan, was a good guy and the god of fire besides, but he was so jealous he couldn't stand to have her out of his sight; his idea of fun for his lovely bride was to...

Firework Ban For Potter and Randall County Are Lifted For This Year's 4th Of July
For the past two years, people have not been legally allowed to pop fireworks. But the county ban has been lifted to allow fireworks to be popped inside the Potter and Randall County lines.
Recent rains are the reason there is no longer a firework ban in the Amarillo area. But, with the hot and dry forecast, officials are still worried there may be some negative repercussions. So far there have been a few fires around the city but nothing too drastic.
So, if you are popping fireworks this year, remember they are illegal in the city limits.
Be safe and have a Happy 4th of July from all of us here at TownSquare Media!

You can't stop Joe Namath from trying to make out with on-air talent, it's like telling Brett Favre to stop always having a friendly golden retriever around or asking Ditka to stop forcing Werther's Originals on Keyshawn during every commercial break.
The NFL's favorite drunk uncle Joe Namath was brought on Fox News "The Five" on Friday to give his analysis of the Super Bowl, and in classic Joe Namath form, he went in for the kiss on Fox News' Kimberly Guilfoyle. The good stuff starts at the 2:00 mark.
Joe goes on to tell Kimberly that he hopes that he'll see her at the MVP party later on which is where he really screws up. An experienced Pick-Up Artist like Namath should have known you never invite a girl that you like to anything, it sounds too desperate. You either tell her that you would never invite her anywhere, and wait for her to insist that she join you, or you just grab her by the hand and force her to consent to coming along. But all credit to Joe, he didn't even ask for a kiss this time, he just went in for it like a true gentleman.
