Hernandez was 19 at the time of this picture. Now he is in jail for the murder of a so called friend. This guy just signed a contract for 40 million dollars at 23 years old one of the biggest up and coming tight ends in football. At 27 he probably would have got 80 to 90 mllion dollars. Now he will rot in jail for the rest of his life, because he couldn't shake his gangster life in the offseason. Money can't fix stupid!!

January 3, 2014 UPDATE: 2013-2014 Seasonal influenza
Since November 2013, the Public Health Agency of Canada has received a number of reports of illness caused by the influenza AH1N1 flu virus among young and middle-aged adults. The H1N1 flu virus strain was first identified in 2009, caused the H1N1 influenza pandemic and is still circulating in Canada and other countries including the United States.
The H1N1 flu virus strain is known to cause more illness in younger individuals, compared to older adults. Most of the flu illness seen so far this season is due to H1N1 flu virus. Although the number of flu cases being reported is not unusual, more severe illness resulting in hospitalization is being observed in those with H1N1 flu virus. Public health authorities are continuing to monitor the situation.
It is not too late to receive a flu shot. All Canadians are encouraged to get vaccinated against the flu to protect themselves and their families as vaccination is the best protection available against flu. The 2013/14 seasonal flu vaccine provides protection against a number of flu viruses, including the H1N1 flu virus strain. Even if you received the H1N1 flu shot or had H1N1 influenza during the pandemic in 2009,you cannot assume you are still protected. You still need to get this season's flu shot to protect against this season's flu.
More information related to seasonal flu, including flu clinics near you, and other methods of prevention, can be found at fightflu.ca. Information for Health Professionals and the Seasonal Flu Public Health Reminder are also available.
Influenza or the flu is a common, infectious respiratory disease that begins in your nose and throat. It is highly contagious and can spread rapidly from person to person. It is estimated that in a given year an average of 12,200 hospitalizations related to influenza may occurFootnote 1; and that approximately 3,500 deaths attributable to influenza occur annuallyFootnote 2.
Fighting the flu is a public health priority and something that all Canadians can contribute to.
Canada's National Advisory Committee on Immunization (NACI) encourages all Canadians over age six months to get a flu shot. It is particularly important for health professionals to get immunized to protect themselves and their patients. Visit FightFlu.ca – Your one-stop access to information about the flu.
In Spring 2009, a new strain of the influenza virus, the H1N1 virus, was identified as causing influenza infections in people in North America. As the H1N1 Flu Virus spread around the world, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared it a pandemic influenza virus. As it was a new strain of influenza and because humans had little to no natural immunity to this virus, it caused serious and widespread illness.
On August 10, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared that the H1N1 pandemic had entered the post-pandemic period. This decision was informed by epidemiological evidence from around the world showing the H1N1 influenza virus was circulating at lower levels and behaving like a seasonal influenza virus.
Since the end of the 2009 H1N1 pandemic, the H1N1 influenza virus continues to circulate in Canada and other countries including the United States.
"bird flu")
Birds and other animals, including pigs, also contract and transmit influenza. Wild birds, in particular, are natural carriers of influenza A viruses. They have carried animal influenza viruses, with no apparent harm, for centuries. Migratory waterfowl (ducks, geese) are known to carry viruses of the H5 and H7 strains or subtypes. These viruses are usually in the low pathogenic form - in other words, they aren't as deadly to birds as highly pathogenic strains.
The avian influenza H5N1 virus continues to cause sporadic human infections in a number of countries. There have been some instances of limited human-to-human transmissions among very close contacts. As reported by the World Health Organization (WHO), there has been no sustained human-to-human or community-level transmission identified thus far. The cumulative number of confirmed human cases of Avian Influenza A(H5N1) reported to WHO since 2003, as well as; confirmed Avian Influenza animal outbreaks, can be found at the Current Avian influenza (H5N1) affected areas.
People are exposed to different strains of the influenza virus many times during their lives. Even though the virus changes, their previous bouts of influenza may offer some protection against infection caused by a similar strain of the virus. However, three to four times each century, for unknown reasons, a radical change takes place in the influenza A virus causing a new strain to emerge.
To see where the flu is active in Canada, visit the FluWatch web site. FluWatch produces weekly influenza surveillance reports from October to May and bi-weekly reports from June to September each year.
Information on Emerging Respiratory Pathogens for both the public and public health professionals can be found on the Emerging Respiratory Pathogens page.
The National Advisory Committee on Immunization (NACI) provides the Public Health Agency of Canada with ongoing and timely medical, scientific, and public health advice relating to immunization. Past and present annual statements on Influenza vaccination can be accessed on the NACI web site.

Those of us expecting Derrick Miller to be carved up like Thanksgiving dinner went home hungry. As for Miller, his attorney said he's just glad to finally be going home."I think he held up well," said Byron Pitts. "He was here and subject to vigorous cross-examination. He kept his composure, answered the questions to the best of his ability, which is what he was sworn to do."Defense attorneys spent two days cross-examining Miller casting him as a greedy turncoat who betrayed the mayor who once called him friend.Defense attorney Gerald Evelyn used Miller to show that Bobby Ferguson wasn't the only contractor getting city deals. Miller acknowledged that Ferguson even finished one job under budget by more than $300,000.Evelyn also reminded jurors that Miller tried to get a piece of city real estate deals himself, including a plan involving a building across the street from the courthouse.Fox 2 legal analyst Charlie Langton watched all five days of Miller's testimony. He praised Evelyn's questioning of Miller, but said prosecutors still may have come out ahead."If you believe Derrick Miller, he helps the government."Kilpatrick attorney Jim Thomas took one last shot at Miller, questioning his claim that he was a man of faith by pointing out that he didn't like to go to church. Miller replied that he is not a Christian."He's glad it's over with. This was not a pleasurable experience," Pitts said. "As I indicated, he wanted to put this behind him and move on with his life, and he's taken one step in that direction."Prosecutors ended the day with a text message exchange showing Ferguson's influence with the mayor.FERGUSON: If Gary Torgow calls about meah not calling him back, it's because of him not paying [Ferguson Enterprises] for their parking garage.KILPATRICK: Cool. How much does he owe?They later talked about another deal.FERGUSON: It's his team. They're disputing $57,000 for work we performed on Mack and Woodward. Typical white folk [expletive]. When we talk, I'll tell what Walbridge's people are trying. Ain't [expletive] change. I'm just a [expletive], with some power though. LOL.KILPATRICK: True.Prosecutors will introduce more text messages on Tuesday, and with Miller gone, there's just one more big chapter coming up -- Synagro. Prosecutors have more text messages on that and undercover video.

By Abbey Stone, Hollywood Staff
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have bucked tradition in favor of a more unique *ahem* direction with the naming of their first born daughter. The power couple has settled on the name North West, a source has confirmed for People.
Rumors of the cartographic name first circulated in March, at which time we prophesied a future of nightclub promotion, Cape Cod summers, and a chain of successful travel agencies for the budding mogul. With a name that so invokes guidance, pioneering, and a great sense of direction, who knows where she could go?
But while wee North West's professional future may be bright, we can't help but worry about her personal well-being. Nope, I'm not concerned with peer-on-peer bullying - Lord knows Kanye won't stand for that tomfoolery - but rather ostracism within her own family. Kim, Kanye, Kris, Kourtney, Khloe, Kendall, Kylie - the Kardashians have never been shy about their fondness for the alphabet's 11th letter. And now here poor North is, K-less. She'll have to form a clique with Rob, Mason, and Penelope.
No word yet on whether the baby's middle name is Donda, for West's late mother, as previously hypothesized.

A discussion on the Netscape Forum about old television wine commercials ("Chill a Cella" and "Little old wine maker, me") led inexorably to Orson Welles intoning "Paul Masson will sell no wine before its time."
This led in turn to a fishing expedition on YouTube, which turned up not only this clip showing the original Welles ad, plus an outtake that's both funny and pitiful, this film clip showing an obviously "over-served" Welles repeatedly screwing up a take of the commercial.
I thought these clips were too funny not to share on this forum, too, so here you are!

The brickwork on Jim Hanson's home on Cooper Avenue is damaged. He said a natural gas explosion back in February was enough to shake his house and plenty of others."I was sitting on my computer doing some work, and the explosion, it knocked me off the couch, and the percussion, I'd never heard anything like that," he told me.Now he said there are cracks and damage he is arguing over with his insurance company because they claim the problems are pre-existing."It's been a nightmare and surprisingly so," Hanson said. "Sure there were some cracks in the plaster. There were some things existing with hardwood floors, but the explosion certainly worsened all of that, and I don't think there should be any questions asked with regards to fixing it."Hanson is not alone. Several neighbors have said they feel like their insurance companies are working against them. 22 people have also filed claims against Consumers Energy for physical and emotional injuries.The city manager said his office is not involved with individual claims. He said that is between homeowners and their insurance companies.He also said Royal Oak will be sending a bill to Consumers Energy for all the time spent by city workers involved in the cleanup and investigation.Nearly three months after the deadly blast, the most severely damaged homes are finally being demolished.Scott Goodwin, an attorney who represents several homeowners, told us by phone the gas line Consumers Energy was putting in at the time of the blast still has not been completed. He said the utility company is blaming the delay on pending litigation, but Goodwin said there are no legal issues standing in the way.It could be several more months before repairs are completed and displaced residences are able to move back home.

"We Need to Get Rid of Him"
For me, this phrase is a call to arms
Please note comments are moderated. After being approved your comment will appear below.
OMG...that made my heart hurt. I don't dislike Cesar but he sure is having a horrible effect on dog training. CM marketing is even in my vet's office now! Ugh I hate to see this kind of training on the increase. :-(

Blaming all poor dog trainers on Cesar Millan seems like a poor excuse to me. There were terrible trainers before him, and will be terrible trainers after him. Differing training methods have always been present, and it seems to me that not every animal will respond to the same method as well as others. While some people find shock collars offensive, there are some dogs that would be considered "too aggressive" without them. If you don't agree with his methodology, fine. But prescribing the world to adhere to what you believe is the right way to do things? It doesn't seem very tolerant for outliers.

Glad you could post that anonymously instead of having a backbone. I don't think Julia was blaming poor dog training on Cesar Milan, but it doesn't help that the National Geographic channel has made this guy a worldwide celebrity using the harsh training methods he does. People tend to repeat what they see when a celebrity does it. There are THOUSANDS of trainers out there who have as much, if not more success in using positive reinforcement over methods as archaic as what Cesar uses, but since that doesn't make good TV, you won't see them. Victoria Stilwell's show "It's Me or the Dog" is not as successful as Cesar's because people think she's boring...but you know what? Although I don't agree with all of her training methods, she is 1000% better than Cesar.
I'm not an expert trainer, but I have seen things go TERRIBLY wrong when people try to use Cesar's methods. One person I know ended up getting bit after alpha rolling their dog and 100 stitches later, they saw the light and now do only positive reinforcement after a lot of persuasion to not give up on the dog. They never knew about alpha rolling, until they saw Cesar's show.

It's too bad. I hate when I hear about people that got puppies and failed to socialize them to dogs and people properly. Little dogs seem to be extremely vulnerable to this. Unfortunately, a dog who bites has little chance of getting adopted.
Try not to put Cesar Milan in the category of this trainer. He would advocate against harsh corrections for puppies, first of all. Secondly, he wouldn't alpha roll a dog who didn't obey and obedience command. From what I've seen, he only lies a dog down if they have loss all their senses and are in an extremely dangerous situation. I'd grab my dog and lie him down if he attacked and bit another dog or person too. Of course, he's too good to do that.

I agree that every dog needs its different way of training. My best friend thinks CM is the greatest trainer alive and she has used his methods on her pug with great results. She tried to help me with my chihuahua mix when I got him 2 years ago and this is NOT the dog to use those methods on! He is very stubborn and it made him more aggressive. So every dog needs some different attention. My newest dog I'm doing very positive re-enforcement training and it's working BRILLIANTLY!

I don't often submit responses to online articles, but every now and then an article makes my gut wrench and I find myself compelled to write. First, I must say that while I am not a dog owner, I am a regular volunteer at a local Humane Society and often assist with classes in the training center. I am also an educator and licensed teacher who has worked in classrooms. My visceral and immediate response to this article and the various blog postings have led me to say this....we as a society have done away with corporal punishment in the classroom because it was cruel and abusive. The same theory should hold true in canine classrooms. A mammal is a mammal and learning is learning - regardless of the species. Any educator who knows anything about learning theory (whether it be human or canine) knows that punishing the student for not following directions does not produce a positive outcome. The student can shut down mentally and emotionally, become agressive, etc. One of the challenges of teaching is to find what each student needs for optimal learning. Is that always an easy thing to do? No. But is that best practice, as well as the most humane and ethical thing to do? Yes. I strongly urge all dog owners to do their homework before enrolling their canine companion in a class. You are your dog's advocate - and it is okay to interview the instructor before taking a class, as well as ask questions during the class. Remember - the instructor works for you, and your dog! When in doubt, ask yourself if you would want a teacher to belittle and abuse your child. If the answer is "No" - then please think twice about what kind of teacher you want for your dog.

It's too bad for this dog that it's hard to adopt out biters. I hope they are able to find a family that will be able to work with it. I think socialization is probably the issue, not training method.
We all seem to agree that this particular trainer was too harsh with the puppy. A lot trainers who use what you call "aversion" or "correction" techniques would not agree with this at all. I know some that would even say that any corrections on a puppy are risky since puppies can be fearful.
I think there's a gray area in training. I use a prong during walks to keep my dog from pulling me down, and I use an e-collar when he's playing. There's no way a piece of cheese is going to make him stop chasing a squirrel or a dog he likes. I use mixed methods and it works for him. He's very confident, obedient, and has good doggy communication skills. I believe that I am doing what is the best for my dog. I feel I'm preventing him from becoming aggressive by leading and protecting him.
I also know of dogs who are aggressive despite positive only training. I wish positive training worked 100%. What works for a dolphin in a closed tank with nowhere to go and nothing to do, is not always appropriate for a dog who has some freedom and a human owner who is not always patient enough for the positive techniques... .
Cesar doesn't always uses "aversion" methods. For extremely, fearful dogs he builds their trust using positive methods. He only gets extremely physical when there's a dangerous situation like a fight. His dogs seem happy with him despite this. In the case of the extreme cases his has, I think the ends do justify the means.

I have a dog who is a biter. She will bite anyone that is not a member of our family. We adopted her when she was a year old. She had been abused during her first year of life and was a very scared little nine pound pup. Through time and love we earned her trust and she is a loving sweet dog with our family. She also is great with other animals. We have another dog and three cats and she is always friendly with other dogs that she comes in contact with. Our vet (whom she has never bitten, thank God!) said that she probably will not change and we should just take precautions with her. So, when repair people come, the dogs go in the bedroom, when my daughter has a party, the dogs go to Grammy's. (BTW, she loves her Grammy, Pappy, and Uncle too.) And at the groomer's, I stay right by her side the whole time. I would never in a million years "get rid" of her just because she bites!

We adopted a dog, Jax, she came from a very bad place. At 4 months old she had barely any contact with people. She didn't even know what grass was. She had to fight for her food with 15 other puppies and she lived in filth. I was told she would never trust anyone and would always be afraid of everything.

I really, really wish that people were not so squeamish about "outing" dog abusers by fully identifying them - I don't frankly care if they call themselves professional "trainers" - that doesn't mean they are professional in the best connotation but simply that they are taking people's hard earned money in exchange for venting their bad tempers and general hostility on an innocent and trusting animal. There is a fearless blogger of the equestrian scene on the internet, now very popular, who with verifiable true information outs abusive trainers and idiotic horse breeders - and both are legion. I really wish there was a similar blog about abusive dog trainers and breeders (puppy mills being a separate and widely written issue). While I realize everyone needs to be concerned about getting sued, truth really is a defense and in my opinion formed over five decades of pet guardianship, there needs to be some way of warning people away from abusive "trainers." STARTING IMHO with Cesar Milan!!! I can't count the times I have heard people say "but Cesar did that and it worked" and maybe it did while the camera rolled or maybe the results were "photoshopped." People think that because Milan has a TV show that he must be "right" and someone seeking help with their dog often just doesn't know what is okay and what isn't and not everyone is willing to "do the homework." My first dog in the 1950's was a Kerry Blue Terrier my mom took to obedience classes which taught the Saunders method complete with choke chain and striking the dog. It is a testament to his excellent temperament - terrierness notwithstanding - that he didn't turn into a vicious fear-biter and went on with "private training" (that would have been with then 10-year-old ME) to eventually reach his CDX.

I have seen first hand what using intimidation and fear can do to a dog. My husband and I adopted a 2 year-old bloodhound from our local shelter about 5 months ago. Tod had been both physically and psychologically abused by his previous owner. We didn't know how bad it was until a week after we adopted him. Tod began to bark and jump aggressively around any one who resembled or reminded him of his previous owners. There was no way that we could have used fear, aggression or control to help our pup learn more acceptable behavior. We learned to listen to him and became more aware of signals he gave us when he was scared. We talked to him calmly to assure him that he was safe. We also learned that our older rescue dog, Roxy, was helping Tod as well. Tod would observe Roxy's behavior in meeting new people and if she could trust them, Tod could trust them. Training is much more about building a bond of trust and understanding, rather than an act of control.

So sad, and something we've seen all too often with our more rambunctious daycare dogs.
We had one sweet pup -- a big guy, probably a lab/mastiff mix -- who was doing OK with his training. not great, but certainly not a threat. He did have some bite issues but was mostly just hyperactive, and since he was only about 6 months old, it was completely fixable.
The saddest part was, his "mom" was a 19-year old freshman in college whose parents were fabulously wealthy and decided to put her up in a luxury downtown condo near her university. Of course, she also wanted a dog, and picked her boy out at a rescue. Six months later, she was asking if any of us (the employees) could take him off her hands. None of us had the space, and now he's probably still at the shelter.
We also had another woman who recently put her 6 -year old dog down for behavioral issues, which was a total mystery to us -- we spent more time with him than she did, and we never had any problems.
I wish people would realize that dogs are not disposable.

A depressing story to read but all to common it would seem. Thankfully Julia has stepped in to rescue this wee boy. I find it puzzling that someone could be so gutless as to allow a trainer (or anyone) say to their dog "I'll teach you how to listen", take her outside the room and then she hears her dog cry out. What? For goodness sake she should have kicked the woman up the backside and left with her dog immediately. Julie, New Zealand

Although I understand the phrase "lifetime commitment", I'm happy for any dog when someone, who lacks compassion and judgement, decides to give up the dog. Imagine living 24/7 with someone doesn't care about you, who has total control over your life and you can't dial 911? Not a good place to be, seems to me!
Instead of stressing "life-long dog ownership" I wish we would stress "a good home where the dog's physical and emotional needs are met, a quality home where the pet is loved and appreciated."
For years a lovely male Golden was chained to a dog box beside a business and visible to the patrons of that business. We received regular calls alerting us of his plight: no water, bleeding tail, no shade in summer, no bedding in winter. One neighbor reportedly offered $3,000 for the dog, in the hopes of rescuing him. He was denied. Finally, one Thanksgiving Day our phone rang. The owner wanted to give up his dog as he had decided to sell his home.
He apoligized as I arrived to SAVE this dog from a wasted existance. "I know I'm supposed to keep the dog for his entire life, but I can't." The AKC, in it's campaign "A Dog is for Life" forgot to mention that quality of life matters too.
I'm happy for any dog when someone who lacks compassion and judgement decides to give up the dog. I just wish that kind and caring folks would stop breeding, so that there would be an available home IMMEDIATELY when that call comes.

I don't want a card or a gift. I just want someone to acknowledge me. It feels like my family and friends are avoiding me. A couple of people at work stopped talking when I walked into the room. Later, I found out that they were talking about Mother's Day. They are making this harder than I thought it would be.
My daughter went to heaven in January and I feel like I am reliving the experience all over again. I finally feel stable enough to bury her ashes. Being neglected on Mother's Day, has made me feel empty and isolated. Am I being selfish or crazy?

First of all, I want to than everyone for their support yesterday. I am still in shock a bit about Mark's layoff. We knew it was a very real possibility, but I was in denial. It will be very interesting to see what the future holds for our family. Even though Mark and I are getting a divorce, we are good friends and our first priority is our children.
Onto the food! The above dish is highly spiced and so good. I used whole black mustard, cumin and coriander seeds which I toasted in a T of dark sesame oil. I chopped up a bunch of ginger and added it to the spices along with a huge sweet onion, pinch of salt and red pepper flakes. I allowed the onions to caramelize and added the cabbage, red pepper and cilantro after they were good and brown. Dark soy sauce, siracha and lime juice finished the dish off. It is actually what we are having for dinner tonight along with the curried potatoes and peas and some dahl(click for recipe) from the freezer.
I had two grapefruits that had seen better days, but they were perfect for juice. This hit the spot this morning! I will definitely look for old grapefruits and other citrus on the bargain table.
I turned pulled out the dehydrator yesterday to make a bunch of flatbreads. I have a 4 tray and I made 1 large pizza crust, 4 tortilla shells and 4 large pieces of bread. My older son and I are going to have a big raw pizza later in the week. It's also nice to use these in place of bread for hummus and to top with avocado and greens.
Oh boy were these good! I used my cashew cheese and just rolled in in raw 'parmesan' which I make out of sesame seeds, walnuts, nutritional yeast and spices. They dehydrated for around 4 hours or so and the cheese was warm and gooey! The kale was dipped in some of my balsamic flax vinaigrette and topped with raw parm. The dipping sauce was a marinara made from sun dried tomatoes.
I initially got this idea from the Ebook, Frugal Raw. It is a great cookbook and you should go buy it!
I have had so many emails over the past year asking me for recipes, so I've decided to get them all together and write my own Ebook. I need the focus and frankly, I need the money too! I started writing down outline today and expect to be finished within 6 weeks at the most! I have been flirting with the cookbook thing forever, but to really measure everything I cook is challenging because my brain doesn't work that way! I just throw things together figure it out as I go along..
The challenge will be creating, testing and writing all of these recipes while sticking to $3.33 a day!
Vegan for $3.33 a Day is going to be the name of it!
Total spent this month: $34.80
Total Banked in Bulk Food Fund: $10.20
Left to spend this week: $0.00

So I know that most of you are probably new so you don't know who I am but I have been a member here for years. I had a baby 18 months ago that was diagnosed with down syndrome (cutest guy ever) he is the youngest of seven children that I have given birth to. After he was born I got my tubes tied. The last few days I have had the infamous sore tingling breasts that I have only ever had while I was pregnant and a little spotting for a day which I thought was strange. Having these weird things happen I thought well I'm just going to poas just to put my mind at ease.
This is what I got that photo was taken while I was still sitting on the pot is it possible being a blue dye test that it is inaccurate?

Many people will claim that their favorite part of the Thanksgiving meal is the turkey sandwich later that night.
That assumes several things: First that you eat early enough to have room for a later in the evening meal consisting of leftovers between two slices of bread. Second, that the initial meal wasn't that great to begin with, otherwise why would the sandwich post-first serve be your favorite part?
For those not rushing out to the stores on Black Friday or even those of us just sleeping in this weekend, above is a New York Times video with titanic chef Wylie Dufresne.
It's amazingly simple, yet brilliant in its technique and use of interacting flavors.

Deutsche Grammophon honours Herbert von Karajan: 50 years as a DG recording artist
16 July marks the 25th anniversary of his death
During his lifetime, Herbert von Karajan was honored many times for his outstanding work in recorded music, including four prestigious Gramophone Awards, and three Grammys. An honorary citizen of three capitals of European classical music – Salzburg (1968), Berlin (1973) and Vienna (1978) – he remains today the best-selling conductor of all time, having sold over 200 million albums during a recording career spanning a remarkable 50 years.
Now, 25 years since his passing, Deutsche Grammophon is launching an extensive suite of new issues: the new compilation titled "Classic Karajan" – featuring his very first recording for the label, from 1939, the deluxe 12-CD and Blu-ray audio boxed set of Karajan conducting the works of Richard Strauss and, now remastered, the award-winning 1963 Beethoven Symphonies set, along with a fresh presentation of the best-selling "Karajan Symphony Edition". Further titles will follow in the autumn.
Speaking about his ten years working closely at the label with Karajan, former Deutsche Grammophon Executive Producer Günther Breest commented: "Maestro Karajan was a champion of new technologies, and their application in pushing the boundaries of our business; in so many ways, he was ahead of his time. Twenty-five years after his death, I imagine he would have delighted in how innovation and technology retain a central role in driving the direction of recording and marketing in the classical music world."

Disaster Assistance
What is Disaster Assistance?
Recovering from a disaster is a gradual process. Safety is a primary issue, as are mental and physical well-being.
Disaster assistance is money or direct assistance to individuals, families and businesses whose property has been damaged or destroyed and whose losses are not covered by insurance. It is meant to help you with critical expenses that cannot be covered in other ways. This assistance is not intended to restore your damaged property to its condition before the disaster.
Providing Disaster Assistance
DHS/FEMA may assist you with:
- Temporary Housing (a place to live for a limited period of time): Money is available to rent a place to live, or a government provided housing unit when rental properties are not available.
- Repair: Money is available to homeowners to repair damage from the disaster to their primary residence that is not covered by insurance. The goal is to make the damaged home safe, sanitary, and functional.
- Replacement: Money is available to homeowners to replace their home destroyed in the disaster that is not covered by insurance. The goal is to help the homeowner with the cost of replacing their destroyed home.
- Permanent Housing Construction: Direct assistance or money for the construction of a home. This type of help occurs only in insular areas or remote locations specified by FEMA, where no other type of housing assistance is possible.
- Other Needs: Disaster-related medical, dental, funeral, and burial costs; fuels for a primary heat source; clothing and household items; tools required for your job; and necessary educational materials.
Applying for Assistance
If you have incurred losses in an area covered by a disaster declaration you may apply for Disaster Assistance online at the interagency Disaster Assistance website or over the phone 1-800-621-FEMA (3362).
The Disaster Assistance website offers a short anonymous questionnaire to determine forms of assistance you may be eligible for. The website provides further information on additional disaster assistance and resources.

Feng Shui Tips for Baby's Room
In their book, The Peaceful Nursery: Preparing a Home for Your Baby With Feng Shui (Bantam Dell, 2006), authors Laura Forbes Carlin and Alison Forbes offer suggestions for creating a happy, welcoming space for your new child.
Put the nursery toward the middle or back of the house if you can. Rooms located toward the back of the house have a more peaceful energy. Those in the front, on the other hand, have the lively, active energy associated with the entry to the house.
Choose the right color. Don't feel constrained by traditional nursery motifs. Imagine yourself in the room with the baby, and try to visualize the color you'd like to see. Some good color choices: blue (promotes relaxation), pink (encourages love for self and others), green (signifies serenity and growth), pale yellow (uplifts and offers clarity), and lavender (represents spirituality, calmness).
Cleanse the energy. Before baby comes home, cleanse stagnant energy from the room using one or more of these tools.
∗ Smoke—Light sandlewood incense or a sage bundle and wave it around the room.
∗ A bell—Ring a bell in the corners of the room, letting the sound resonate and disperse stuck energy.
∗ Essential oils—Mist the room with a mix of lemon essential oil and water.
Place furniture securely. For a feeling of security, place furniture you and baby will rest in (crib and rocking chair, for instance) against solid walls with clear views of the door, but not directly facing the door.

Images that purport to be the rumoured small iPad have popped up online, and there's no rear camera.
With ever-increasing restrictions on online activity, Chinese authorities are trying to make Internet service providers act as Web police for the government.
Twitter acquires the simple blog platform, a rival to Tumblr, but discloses no terms of the deal.
Twitter envisions itself displacing the canonical water cooler for TV discussion; now it just needs to make some deals.
Pownce, the hosted Twitter-alike service Six Apart acquired last year, re-emerges as free, open-source app for Web developers called Motion.
Yammer's hosted model is built for the future, but Presently's software can be downloaded today.
Twitter's recent failures prove the value of the service as well as why it needs to be distributed beyond just one brand of microblogs.
Socialtext has a new service that lets companies run a Twitter-like microblogging service out of their offices using hardware that works behind the firewall.
Google might soon add a way to search microblogging sites like Twitter, as the amount of content generated by those services explodes.

Uterine Fibroids
Uterine fibroids are noncancerous growths in or on the uterus. Fibroids can grow on the inside of the uterus, within the muscle wall of the uterus, or on the outer surface of the uterus.
Many women who have uterine fibroids do not have symptoms. When symptoms are present, they are usually mild and may include:
Sometimes uterine fibroids may cause more serious problems, such as infertility, blockage of the urinary tract or bowels, or anemia.
Home treatment can usually relieve and control the mild symptoms of uterine fibroids. Medicines or surgery may sometimes be needed if uterine fibroids are causing severe symptoms or other complications.

Spartan Races are grueling endurance events designed to push you physically and mentally through obstacles and trail running. Fueling your body for a long distance run on Spartan Race day is a critical part of being successful and kicking ass without cramping, fainting, and letting the Spartans with pugil sticks take you out before you cross the finish line.
For Spartan events, I recommend the same kind of preparation I use for full and half marathons. A few weeks before your event, work as many raw veggies into your diet as you can. This helps clear out your intestinal walls of build up so you can effectively absorb the good stuff when you really need it. Additionally, eliminating dairy from your diet helps avoid excess mucous build-up, which can interfere with effective respiration while you run.
On race day, you can get off to the right start by consuming the proper amount of fluid and glycogen (sugar) stores that you will just maintain as you race. I always tell people that you want to be done eating two hours before your event. Just be mindful of when your wave starts and plan accordingly. Eating too close to an event can lead to an upset stomach or can negatively interact with your body's natural insulin response. Get to bed early so you can get up and get prepared–there's plenty of time to party AFTER you run. For each city that hosts a Spartan Race I have created smoothie recipes that are the perfect pre-race fuel. Look for those a day or two before the event.

Apodaca Duals bring wrestling's focus to Northwest College
Five nationally ranked teams hit the mats
Tucked into the recesses of a locker room, Christopher Brooks Apodaca's former locker stands as perhaps the most unknown memorial on the Northwest College campus. It sits two spots in from the end, adorned with the same style of black nameplate that announces the offices of the Trappers' coaching staff.
Trapper teams fall at Western Wyoming
Men, women have rough time in Rock Springs
The Northwest College men's and women's basketball programs suffered setbacks over the weekend, falling to Western Wyoming. For the Trapper men's team, the loss was especially painful as the squad looked to jockey for position near the top of the Region IX North standings.
Powell wrestlers roll
Greybull no match for Panthers
The second-ranked Powell Panthers combined an 8-1 performance on the mat with a host of forfeit victories to score a lopsided 67-6 dual victory over Greybull last week. The win kept the Panthers unbeaten this season in dual action.
NWC wrestling punched out by Lights
KLoetzer, Thornton pick up wins for NWC
The seventh-ranked Northwest College wrestling team was edged 27-19 by NAIA affiliated Montana State-Northern in wrestling dual action last Thursday. The dual was the college's last before this weekend's Apodaca Dual Showdown, which will wrap up the regular season for the Trappers.
Northwest men defeat Miles
Team suffers weekend loss at Western
The Northwest College men's basketball team split a pair of Region IX contests last week, defeating Miles Community College 87-64 at home before falling on the road at Western Wyoming by an 81-73 final count.
Wrestlers drop Billings West
Panthers remain unbeaten in dual action
Second-ranked Powell remained unbeaten in wrestling dual action this season with a 46-22 victory over visiting Billings West on Tuesday night. The win came despite the Panthers needing to juggle their lineup to account for illness and injury.
The Sports Guy: Seasons approach midway point
We're around the halfway point of the winter sports seasons for everyone except that handful of indoor track types who just more or less started competition recently. As coaches, players and fans start to focus on the finish line at the end of the home stretch, it is obvious that plenty of excitement awaits.
Trappers win four duals
NWC returns from long road trip
The seventh-ranked Northwest College wrestling team returned from a lengthy road trip to begin the 2013 portion of their schedule with four victories in five duals. Northwest defeated No. 6 Colby, No. 10 Ellsworth, No. 12 Pratt and No. 14 Neosho on the heels of their stellar showing at the Utah Valley University open tournament.
Trapper men improve to 13-5
NWC levels record in regional play
The Northwest College men's basketball team gave head coach Brian Erickson and their fans some nervous moments on Saturday against Little Big Horn, but used a strong second half to pull away for a 91-73 victory. The Trappers improved to 13-5 overall with the win and moved to an even 2-2 in Region IX North action.
Victory over Lyman not enough
Panther boys remain outside top five
A hot start to the 2013 portion of the schedule was not enough for the Powell Panther boys' basketball team to find its way back into Class 3A's top five, according to the latest round of coaches' and media rankings at Wyopreps.com. The Panthers received the most votes of any unranked team in the poll.

Kyle Thompson appears to be a typical 14-year old boy, but there's something about his life right now that's a little different. He's not going to school because he was kicked out.The story begins last March at Harrison High School in Farmington Hills and continues with the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) petitioning for his return to school. Thompson tells the ACLU he and his fellow football players came up with a "hit list" - a list of players they would like to hit on the football field. He and his friends say the list was just a joke, and even gave their teacher a peek when she asked what they were laughing at. That's when the trouble began. Thompson explains to the ACLU: "My teacher came over. She took [the list] from me, and I got up and grabbed the paper and we were pulling it back and forth. ... When we were pulling it back and forth she was laughing at first, so I thought it was just a joke. She got serious, and I let go."Then Thompson was escorted to the office and taken away by police. The teacher, who Thompson's mother says once called her son a polite young man, has accused him of assaulting her. The teacher told Farmington Hills Police she was concerned about the "hit list," that Thompson was being defensive and the teen pulled her with "great force" as she tried to walk away. Thompson's mother says this is something classmates completely disagree with. Despite the statements from the fellow students, and the fact that Thompson had never been in serious trouble before, he was still expelled under Michigan's Zero Tolerance law, which states any student who assaults a teacher must be expelled - and not just from their school, but from any Michigan public or charter school for one year. The ACLU produced a video sharing Thompson's story and posted it on YouTube, along with a petition to support letting him return to class. As of Monday night, more than 1,500 people have signed the petition. To watch the video and see the petition, click here. Meanwhile, Kyle is scheduled to go to trial in October.
Fox 2 was unable to reach Kyle's teacher for a comment, but did receive a statement from Farmington Public Schools' Superintendent, Susan Zurvalec:
"Farmington Public Schools is prohibited by federal confidentiality laws from disclosing information of this type or even acknowledging if an incident like this occurred. The issue raised in this petition presents an opportunity for citizens to examine zero tolerance laws in Michigan. The state legislature has mandated that an assault by a student against a teacher requires a one year expulsion from all public schools within the state.
This is known as a zero tolerance law.
In Farmington, we strive to consider each student and any incident separately and individually, taking all facts and circumstances into account. The zero tolerance law passed by our legislature takes that ability away from us and requires all assaults to be treated the same. It is up to state policy makers to revise these zero tolerance laws, and until that happens, we will continue to follow our legal mandates as they are."

Gaia Organics
Invested in OrganicGaia's investment in the future of herbal medicineNo other liquid herbal manufacturer in the United States invests a larger percentage of its operating income into as many vertically integrated layers of quality control than Gaia Herbs. These funds are used to nurture continuous improvements and research into best practices at every stage of their operation from seed to shelf, including: seed selection, soil preparation, organic farming, manufacturing, validation technologies, and product packaging.
Stringent Organic CertificationSince their founding in 1986, Gaia Herbs has been committed to upholding the rigorous standards required of a Certified Organic Grower (COG) as determined by Oregon Tilth, one of the strictest and most stringent organic certifiers in the nation. As a result, Gaia Farm (established in 1997) has earned its reputation as one of the leading growers and producers of Certified Organic herbs and herbal products in the United States.
Gaia Herbs chose to meet the standards of Oregon Tilth specifically because they are the most uncompromising and thorough certifying bodies associated with sustainable approaches to agricultural production systems, processing, and handling. Each year, Oregon Tilth inspectors evaluate every aspect of their land, production methods, and facilities, including the assessment of our organic seed sourcing, cover cropping practices, crop rotation, soil fertility programs, pest control programs, machinery maintenance, greenhouse practices, neighboring land uses, crop washing practices, crop segregation, plant use and destination, and water use, as well as administrative and documentation practices.
Upholding these standards, Gaia Farm cultivates more than 5 million individual plants (representing XX species) during each annual growing season. These crops include Echinacea angustifolia, Echinacea purpurea, Skullcap, Valerian, Gotu Kola, Holy Basil, Nettles, California Poppy, Dandelion leaf, Dandelion root, Burdock root, Ginkgo leaf, Hawthorn leaf, Hawthorn flower, and Elder flowers.
Meet Your HerbBy sharing their knowledge, Gaia participate more fully in an exchange that advances the coevolution of plants and people.
With knowledge comes empowerment. With empowerment, there is a renewed sense of awareness. And with awareness comes the ability to make healthy choices. This is why Gaia is the only medicinal herb manufacturer that make it possible to truly "Meet Your Herb."
The "Meet Your Herb" ID number is an industry first - a Gaia exclusive that gives people the opportunity to see proof of the steps that go into ensuring the purity, intergrity, and potency of the product they've purchased.
Simply follow the steps below to trace the story of your herbs from seed to shelf. It's Gaia's way of helping you reclaim control of your own well-being, gain knowledge you can share, and participate more fully in the dynamic relationship connecting plants and people.
About Gaia HerbsGaia's mission is to bring vitality to -and create a conection between -plants and people. Their goal is larger than simply producing high-quality, pontent herbal products. As steward of coevolution -the knowledge that plants and people have evolved together on Earth, forming a symbiotic connection as a result- Gaia is committed to leading the way in fostering the connection between plant and people. Gaia believes they must do all that they can to preserve the Plant Intelligence within each herb. Gaia must "plant intelligence" for the future. And they must continue to learn from Nature and encourage the sharing of this knowledge with others.
Gaia CommitmentHow Gaia proceed forward in accordance with the virtues of harmony is as important as what they produce. At Gaia Herb, they hold themselves- and everything they produce- accountable to the virtues of purity, integrity, and potency. These are the pillars supporting their belief, their actions, and their commitment.
PurityEach herb must be cultivated in accordance with Nature's intent. In order to deliver herbal medicines of assured purity, Gaia adhere to a stringent set of principles—rules they uphold as a company at Gaia Farm, and that their Certified Organic Farmers, Land Steward Harvesters, and Validated Partners must also follow.
These basic tenets are the foundation of the Gaia Principles of Purity—processes and protocols beneficial to both plants and people:
IntegrityAs Gaia create herbal medicines, they must ensure the fullest possible expession of each herb. As herbal ingredients move through the production process, they are committed to using the right extraction technology and ideal concentration methods to act in accordance with the physical properties of the herb. With every herb that they process in their GMP compliant facility they apply ONLY Full Spectrum processing technology. Their full spectrum processing involves choosing the ideal extraction and concentration methods to maintain the integrity of each individual plant. They do not isolate or purify a single active plant compound all on its own, nor are chemical or synthetic compounds ever added to their extracts. Instead, they deliver the complete natural array of the plant's compounds as intended by Nature, in order to facilitate the optimal physiological cascade of benefits within the body.
Potency:purity+integrity=potencyThe result of an unwavering commitment to purity and integrity.
Plant Intelligence is Nature's way of delivering vitality to people. This is true potency. But potency can only be assured when Gaia maintains the herb's entire chain of custody in order to guarantee that the highest levels of purity and integrity have been preserved.
Improper handling at any step can damage Plant Intelligence and compromise potency. Some companies grow or source their herbs in all the right places, only to use harsh chemical solvents for extraction or extremely high temperatures for concentration. Conversely, they may use the best extraction and concentration methods—but are limited by raw materials that are contaminated or compromised from poor cultivation, harvesting, or sourcing.
Potency is a result of Gaia's strict adherence to responsible practices with every herb they source, combined with the use of the right + right method of extraction and low + low method of concentration, plus careful maintenance of the purity and integrity of each individual plant.

Unlike a Wish List, items you add to your Regimen are not removed from the list after you purchase them.
