Trucks and vans for sale in the Philippines
Commercial vehicles play an important role in the Philippines' fast growing economy. The demand for commercial vehicles has increased due to the influx of foreign companies investing in the country.
One of the vital factors in boosting the growth of an economy is ensuring that people and products arrive at their destination on time. As such, commercial vehicles are themselves the primary drivers of an economy. They are used in multiple industries that are essential to the economy. The tourism industry, for example, uses coaches and buses to transport tourists to different local destinations. The agricultural industry uses tractors and other farming equipment to help cultivate land. Construction firms also use a myriad of heavy equipments such as mixers, cranes, forklifts and dump trucks. In 2013 some 120,000 units of this type of vehicle were sold in the local market.
Popular commercial vehicle brands
The Philippines has numerous commercial vehicle brands that are primarily dominated by Asian manufacturers such as the Japanese brands Mitsubishi Fuso, Komatsu and Hino and the Korean brands Kia and Hyundai. Another brand that has a significant hold on this vehicle segment is the German brand Mercedes-Benz, which also produces vans and some trucks and the locally owned Rusco, that rebadges imported single cab pickups.
Delivery vehicles in the light and heavy truck category are dominated by Mitsubishi, Isuzu and some brands from China like Foton. Construction projects, for example, employ the services of trucks such as the Isuzu Elf and the Foton Tornado. Travel agencies who transport tourists to different destinations throughout the country usually use Hyundai County units.
New and used vans and trucks in the Philippines
One of the most popular types of commercial vehicle in the country is the modified multi-cab, which is a Japanese small pickup truck that has been modified for business purposes. These small workhorses are often imported commercial vehicles or reassembled from models such as the Suzuki Scrum and the Mazda Bongo.
Public commuters are the group that are most exposed to the services of commercial vehicles. In the Philippines, there are many modes of public transport from taxis, jeepneys and vans-turned-cabs to metro railways, and buses. Types of mass transport vehicles, such as light vans and small buses, can be rented for family outings or company tours.
Projections by local automotive manufacturers' state that the demand for public transport vehicles will significantly increase as more emerging businesses and foreign startups are establishing their companies in the country.
Another use of commercial vehicles is their ability to transport employees to their workplaces through company-provided shuttle services. Delivery vehicles with larger cargo space are used to move agricultural and manufactured products from suppliers to local dealers.
Larger types of commercial vehicles are used as public utilities such as dump trucks, garbage trucks and ambulances. Car rentals and limousines are also popularly used in weddings and chauffeur services. The country also has a small production of jeepneys, modified motorcycles used as public transportation.

Indians-A's: First rainout in Oakland in 16 years
OAKLAND, Calif. — The game between the Oakland Athletics and Cleveland Indians has been postponed because of rain.
The A's said Tuesday night's game would be made up in a day-night doubleheader Wednesday. The first game is scheduled to start at 12:35 p.m. PDT and the second game at 6 p.m. PDT.
It was the first rainout in Oakland since May 5, 1998.
Cleveland beat the A's 2-0 in Monday night's season opener, which was played between rain storms that have hit the San Francisco Bay Area this week. The Indians have Thursday off before hosting Minnesota in its home opener Friday in Cleveland.
The A's open a four-game series against Seattle on Thursday in Oakland.

If you're not familiar with the Thistle, you're missing out! This is a performance daysailer which has a strict and large one-design racing class backing. The Thistle is a great light air boat, and will also take you for a wild ride when the wind comes up! It is a wonderfully balanced boat which is a dream to sail. This particular boat has been lovingly cared for and is ready to RACE! SHE IS A UNIQUE FIND - - A WOODIE !!
She was built and delivered to Memphis 1955. The previous owner rebuilt her, relaunching in 1999. Then won the 2000 Central Southern Interdistricts.
Hull skin, keelson, centerboard trunk separators, transom, athwartship slats of the aft grating, two narrow slats of the forward grating, and the two underseat supports on both sides are original. All other wood is new. Rails from Doug Laber, using the olds ones as patterns. Seats and centerboard trunk sides are ribbons stripe mahogany. The stanchions, mast step, grating underbraces, 45 braces, forward and aft grating skirts, forward edge seat supports, thwart, thwart knees, centerboard trunk cap, aft grating skirt, undersupports and center piece are all flamed maple. Everything was WEST epoxy coated prior to installation.
Interior has a natural finish, WEST epoxy with five coats of Interlux Schooner Gold varnish (which needs a touch up). The exterior was epoxy coated, faired, 1 layer six oz. cloth, faired, two coats of Interlux VC performance epoxy, matte white finish which was then sanded 400 grit paper which allows for easy touch up.
GMW mast (1999) and boom (2000), alum spin pole. Sails are North, Fisher cut, 12 regattas on main and jib, 4 on spin (blue w red and white panels). Comes with centerboard and rudder covers. Mast up cover is getting old... But a new Rooke Sails mast up cover is included!!!
Fiberglass lead centerboard, with graphite powder epoxy finish and a trailing edge you can cut your hand on, and ball bearing skateboard wheels for rollers. The better rudder needs to have hardware reattached. There is a "secondary" rudder ready to use. Per class rules an 8 lb anchor/chain w 100 ft rode is included.
The boat is ready to race competitively, although it is possible that the forward foam needs modification. It extends aft of the forward edge of the grating, and that part needs to be removed, it was done that way a long time ago. Rigging photos show a well thought out layout. Reverse purchase spin halyard.
Trailer is included. It is an older model, but well maintained. Trailer bunks were made using the hull as a mold. This boat is light and can be trailered by a small car!
We can provide a cd with numerous photos if you like. Asking $6500.00, been in the family 52 years, so it's hard to let her go.
Rooke Sails will be happy to assist in going through the rigging to make sure that this classic yet competitive Thistle is familiar to you and that all the rigging is serviceable. We also offer for the new sailor the option of sailing instruction. So, what are you waiting for ?? - - the wind is still FREE!!!

TV Characters Influenced By Tony Soprano
After Tony Soprano, TV heroes no longer had to be "good." Meet his successors
-- intro: For six seasons, James Gandolfini shined in the HBO series "The Sopranos" as Tony Soprano -- a complicated mob boss with a capacity for both tenderness and violence. For perhaps the first time in TV history, audiences grew to love a hero who was capable of doing truly descpicable things, and that's been the case with these TV characters who followed in Soprano's footsteps.
quicklist: 1
title: Omar Little, "The Wire" text: The HBO drama "The Wire" was full of complex characters, including drug-dealing gangs and the cops who were out to get them. But perhaps the most beloved was Omar Little, a heat-packing, humming criminal who lived by a strict moral code (played by Michael K. Williams). Did he kill people? Sure. Was he frightening? Of course. Did that matter in the hearts of viewers? Hardly. media:19446390
quicklist: 2 title: Dexter Morgan, "Dexter" text: The main character of the Showtime series, Dexter Morgan, played by Michael C. Hall, was raised by a cop, and, like Soprano and Little, lives life by certain rules. Among them: Evildoers should be severely punished. In short, Dexter kills killers--and no one seems to mind a bit. In fact, Hall has won a Golden Globe and a SAG award for the role. media:19446488
quicklist: 3 title: Walter White, "Breaking Bad" text: A teacher turned meth dealer, Walter White has become more and more evil as the AMC drama progresses, and even actor Bryan Cranston, who has won a bevy of awards for the part, credits Gandolfini for the character's success. "He was a great talent and I owe him," he told ABC News in a statement. "Quite simply, without Tony Soprano, there is no Walter White." media:19446478
quicklist: 4 title: Nicholas Brody, "Homeland" text: A POW turned terrorist turned, well, who knows, Nicholas Brody has proven that despite his evil inclincations at times, he's able to win the heart of Claire Danes' CIA operative Carrie Mathieson -- and Showtime viewers as well. As if that's not enough? It's earned actor Damian Lewis an Emmy and a Golden Globe. media:19446510
quicklist: 5 title: Nucky Thompson, "Boardwalk Empire" text: Steve Buscemi, who worked with Gandolfini on "The Sopranos," has taken the lead on another HBO drama with great results. As Nucky Thompson, a corrupt politician in Atlantic City, Buscemi plays a gangster who's capable of great ruthlessness and yet manages to appeal to the masses.The same goes for his contemporaries: He's won a Golden Globe and a SAG award for his performance. media:19446467
quicklist: 6 title: Jackie Peyton, "Nurse Jackie" text: She won a ton of awards alongside Gandolfini as Carmela Soprano, but Edie Falco's performance as a drug-addled nurse in the Showtime show "Nurse Jackie" has also earned her acclaim. She's earned a Emmy and a bevy of other nominations for the part.
quicklist: 7 title: Starbuck, "Battlestar Galactica" text: A quick-tempered, cocky fighter pilot, Kara "Starbuck" Thrace, played by Katee Sackhoff, can be insubordinate and get herself into trouble -- but she remained one of the most popular characters in the sci-fi series. media:19446284
quicklist: 8 title: Don Draper, "Mad Men" text: On the surface, Don Draper, played by Jon Hamm, is a family man, but fans of the AMC show know that underneath, he's a deeply conflicted man who doesn't exactly value fidelity. Still, the role has skyrockted Hamm to the A-list, and earned him a Golden Globe and a number of other nominations. media:19446597

It is quite common for advisors to discuss their firms' technology solutions and processes with other advisors, service partners and consultants. These conversations often occur during conferences and study groups with the goal of making sure that advisors are aware of the latest technology solutions as well as identifying new ways for their firms to be more efficient. However, have you considered how your prospects and clients might view the way your firm utilizes technology? Is their impression that your firm is technology-savvy? Here are some areas to think about that can influence how your firm measures up with clients when it comes to technology.
When you first begin working with new clients, they will quickly get an idea of the role technology plays in your firm. During this initial process, take a close look at how you gather information from clients for developing their financial plan and investment strategy. Is this process still primarily paper-based with questionnaires and other documents? If so, this isn't automatically a negative, but paper and the clutter it brings can easily be interpreted as inefficient and behind the times. Therefore, you have the opportunity to improve this experience and the early impression of doing business with your firm by adopting paperless processes. Consider offering the ability for your client to provide this information via an online template tool, perhaps through your website or other channel. A core feature of many financial planning solutions is a collaboration tool, which allows both you and your client (either together or separately) to input this information directly through the website and then make changes accordingly as time and circumstances change. The use of such technology helps solidify client relationships for many advisors.
Another area to consider that could influence how your clients view your technology is to make it very easy for them to send you information securely. Encrypting documents is generally not very hard to do, but unfortunately it can be confusing for clients to do on their own. In addition, there is always the question of what password to use and whether they entered it correctly. Instead, consider offering a method for your clients to securely send and receive documents directly with your firm. This could be accomplished via portals, secure mailbox services or other file-sharing websites like Egnyte, Sharefile or Dropbox. You could also check with your current website provider to see if they offer file-sharing solutions. Offering this type of transmission service sends the right message to your clients regarding the importance you place on protecting their information.
Advisory firms that have replaced paper reports and presentations with tablets for in-person meetings could certainly be considered early adopters. However, I would argue that the "early adoption" phase is over. The fact is your clients are seeing tablet-type devices used frequently in other businesses. In fact, recently while having dinner at a hotel restaurant, I found that the wine list was provided on an iPad as an app. I wish I could tell you that this was the most expensive restaurant in town, but it wasn't even close. Clearly the restaurant had figured out that it was better for its customers to view the wine list on an iPad, and it is easier and less expensive in the long run for the restaurant to keep it updated on a tablet as well. Needless to say, I left thinking that this restaurant understands how to use technology in its business, and now I'm telling you about it. Your clients may soon be doing the same about you.
How you make your firm available to the clients who do not reside in your city is an additional way for you to demonstrate your utilization of technology. Ask yourself whether it is easy for these out-of-town clients to access the same support and information you offer clients who live in your city. Your website, electronic account access and reports should immediately come to mind. Is there anything you provide local clients that you cannot readily provide clients who reside far away? You should also consider conducting webinars or scheduling webcam-based meetings for these out-of-town clients. The reality is your clients are potentially already fairly comfortable with this technology given the popularity of services like FaceTime and Skype. Therefore, if you plan to host an event for local clients, consider delivering the same presentation as a webinar on a later date for out-of-town clients.
Certainly one of the challenges of being viewed by your clients as a firm that leverages technology is that expectations and needs can change, sometimes very quickly. You might think that your clients would never care to see their performance reports on an iPad, only to learn that half of your clients use these devices. Just as your needs and uses of technology evolve, the same is happening with your clients. More importantly, you probably do not want your clients or prospects to think that they use technology more effectively than your firm.

MONTREAL - Jimmy Rogers's office may seem spartan, but the chairless environment is part of a new movement toward standing while working.
Rogers got rid of his office furniture two years ago while recuperating from a herniated disc. Sitting was painful, so Rogers, an industrial engineer by trade, put his laptop on top of a filing cabinet and stood up to work.
"The next step was getting something nicer – something more ergonomic," he said. "That was two years ago. Now I spend a full day working standing up."
Rogers is part of a growing trend of office workers who are spending more time on their feet. Some, like Rogers, were forced into the change. But others have been paying attention to the growing amount of evidence suggesting that too much time spent in a chair isn't good for your health.
The American Cancer Society recently released a report stating that women who spent more than six hours a day sitting had a 37-per-cent higher risk of mortality, compared to those who sat fewer than three hours a day, within the study's 13-year time period. As for men, six hours a day spent in a chair increased the likelihood of death by 18 per cent over men who spent less than half that time seated.
Other studies have reported similar dire findings, with chronic sitters at increased risk of cardiovascular disease, obesity and metabolic disorders.
Researchers believe excessive sitting causes the body to go into a type of "sleep mode," which shuts down muscle activity and has a negative effect on the body's metabolic functions.
Standing, on the other hand, encourages movement, which boosts muscle activity, calorie burn and, according to some health experts, alertness. Yet despite its seemingly obvious benefits, there's little research proving that more time standing will negate the health risks associated with too much sitting.
That doesn't mean incorporating more standing intervals into your day isn't a good idea, it's just that to date researchers have yet to validate the practice.
McGill University kinesiology professor Julie Côté, a specialist in ergonomics and biomechanics, is currently gathering data on the physiological responses of incorporating more standing postures in the workplace. She was intrigued by the idea after seeing a colleague in Denmark using a stand-up desk – a practice that is more common in Scandinavian countries than in North America.
Her study measures blood flow to the legs and muscle activity in the low back during occupational standing and sitting. And while the data isn't ready for crunching, she thinks it will answer some basic questions about the benefits of prolonged standing. In the meantime, she's got a stand-up desk of her own, which she uses on a regular basis.
The decision to move from sitting to standing isn't as simple as raising the legs of your current desk. Rogers went looking for a sit-to-stand desk that adjusts to both heights, but found them too expensive. So he made his own, which accommodates standing only.
"I tried a couple of heights by putting boxes on my desk," said Rogers, who finally settled on a shelf-like desk placed just below elbow height – a position Côté says is ergonomically sound.
Finding just the right desk and adjusting it to just the right height is the easy part of the switch from sitting to standing. Finding the endurance to stand for extended periods of time is the real challenge.
"Start gradually," Côté said. "And never stand longer than 90 minutes without changing your position. The worst thing you can do is stay static."
Most people don't spend the whole day on their feet, rather they alternate between sitting and standing, which is where the adjustable desk helps.
Rogers suggests getting around the expense of an adjustable desk by using a chair the height of a bar stool. This inexpensive option allows you to install a stationary platform to hold your computer, monitor and phone, while still being able to move easily from sitting to standing.
As for suggestions on how to ease the discomfort associated with long periods spent standing, Rogers recommends placing a cushioned mat under your feet, wearing footwear with good support and alternating elevating one foot on a riser.
Côté says finding out what works best for you is all part of the learning curve associated with moving from sitting to standing. And since there is no clear research suggesting that one strategy works better than another, it's okay to experiment.
As for what to do when a colleague or client comes to visit, you can always follow Rogers's example and have a small desk and a couple of folding chairs in the corner of his office.
"I don't expect everyone to stand like I do," he said.
If all of that sounds unconventional, it may help to know that Rogers isn't used to convention.
"Back when I worked for a back-country ski company, we used to have our morning meetings while hacky-sacking," he said with a laugh.
Now that sure beats sitting.

Since the idea of jamming humorous facial features into a non-descript vegetable turned out to be one of the most popular toys of all time, Griffin must've figured the same thing could happen with their new customisable Faces cases for the iPod Touch. Unfortunately, lightning rarely strikes twice.
Available in two stereotypical gender-specific versions, their silicone cases come in either a blindingly neon pink female, or neon blue male variety. And just like Mr Potato Head, either case can be customised with an included set of three unique mouths and six different eyes. But unlike Mr Potato Head, these seem to be lacking any kind of unique charm that would endear them to kids for years to come. Each set is available for $US25, though for some reason only for the iPod Touch. iPhone users will have to settle with a sharpie or liquid paper if they want their devices to smile.

Happy Friday! I had a recent request from robovendor to do an Oodletorial on how the Auctions and Sweepstakes work in the Prize Center. If this is something you're interested in, hop into the Oodlemobile, and buckle up while we take a quick tour. Please be sure to keep hands and feet in the vehicle at all times. 😉
First stop is the Prize Center page. You can find it under the Prize tab on GSN.com, and it will look like this. You can use the arrow at the right hand side of the page to browse top items:
Further down on the page you can see more prizes, recent winners, and posts from the GSN.com Games Twitter feed. There's also a view all winners link that's updated daily:
On the left hand side of the page you will see three tabs to click on:
Win More Oodles – Takes you to your To-Doodle page on My GSN.
What's New? – Features what's most recently been added to the Prize Center.
Browse All Prizes – Shows everything available in the Prize Center. There are many pages, so a feature you will like on the Browse All Prizes page is the drop down menu in the upper right hand corner. Click on the down arrow next to "All" in view to see the selections:
Buy it Now – Use your Oodles to get prizes right away – coupons, Oodlectibles (remember, those go in your collections box under My GSN, they're not physical prizes), magazine subscriptions, donations, and more.
Sweepstakes – A sweepstakes is something you pay an entry fee, and generally you can purchase as many entries with your Oodles as you'd like. For example, the Daily $100 Sweepstakes costs 75 Oodles per entry. Choose the number of entries you want, and click the blue "Enter Sweepstakes." A verification window will pop open and once you confirm, the Oodles are removed from your account. If you change your mind you can click on the "back to prize list" at the bottom of the page:
Play To Win – This features any games going on where you can compete for gift cards and/or a share of Oodles or Tokens pot.
Bid For It – You will find the auctions here. Let's use the Daily 100,000 Tokens Auction as an example of how they work. The entry fee is 100 Oodles. That means you're paying to enter the auction, and those Oodles are removed from your account. You do not get them back, even if you lose.
Now you can type an amount you want to bid (example 10,000 Oodles), and click on the blue "enter bid" button.
If your bid is the highest, you win this prize and the 10,000 Oodles are deducted from your account. If you do not win, then the 10,000 oodles are not deducted, and you can try again tomorrow if you like.
Often there is a minimum bid on an auction, so if you type in less, then it won't accept it. Also, be sure you actually have the Oodles in your account you bid, because if you don't and you win, then it goes to the next bidder.
If you win any prizes, they're generally shipped within 4-6 weeks to the address you have listed on your account, so be sure you have the correct address, including apartment numbers, etc. if applicable. You can check that by going to My GSN and clicking on My Account. Some prizes such as coupons and e-gift certificates are emailed to you, and they generally come in 1-2 weeks.
In the drop down view you will also see By Category which include Cash and Top Prizes, Daily Deals, Balance Boosters, GSN Gear, Oodles Donations, and Oodlectibles. These are just better ways to sort and you'll have fun exploring them on your own. Check back often, as the Prize Center is constantly adding new prizes!
This concludes our tour. Please take small children by the hand, and collect all valuables. Thank you and have a great weekend!
GSN Angel

Gene Cook
Gene Cook, Jr. is a Southern Baptist pastor who hosts the radio program The Narrow Mind, which focuses on Calvinist-brand apologetics. The show used to devote a significant amount of time to atheist issues and guests but now limits atheist callers and topics to "Atheistic Wednesday". Gene has stated the reason he decided to devote less time on the show to atheists is that no atheist has yet been able to understand his "teleological argument".
Cook's teleological argument[edit]
This is the argument by which Cook attempts to either undercut the basis for a scientific worldview, or to make the claim that there is an equal evidentiary basis for Christian belief and the scientific worldview. Gene says that he makes a presupposition that the Bible is the inerrant word of God, and that that is the basis for all of his other beliefs. He claims, moreover, that without a similar presupposition, an atheist cannot justify belief in the laws of logic or science.
Cook routinely employs variations on the natural-law argument by suggesting that the laws of logic, for instance, need to be accounted for, and that the only way to do this is to infer a creator.
He also regularly falls into the logical fallacy of equivocation, in that he refuses to accept any but his own strain of belief as "Christianity". This is not uncommon among conservative Christians.

Bully Ray vs. Tommy Dreamer
Bully Ray cuts a promo putting over Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff. He then turns to Tommy Dreamer and starts talking about him. Dreamer comes to the ring. Ray tells Dreamer that he, Hogan and Bischoff are "like this now†and tonight is now No DQ with Falls Counting Anywhere. He asks Dreamer what he thinks, so Dreamer attacks him.
Dreamer cleans house early including a high cross bodyblock. Bully cuts him off with a clothesline but misses an elbowdrop. Dreamer tosses Ray out of the ring to the floor. Dreamer takes a drink from a fan at ringside and slugs Ray with it, then spits one in his face. Dreamer has a fan hold a chair up and runs Ray into it, which Taz called "old school.â€
Someone handed Dreamer a huge stuffed Minion from "Despicable Me†and drilled Dreamer with it. Taz didn't know what it was and joked that Borash needed to google that. Dreamer dragged Ray into the crowd, where he slammed his head into the guard rail for bleacher stairs, then hit Ray with a stick. He led a TNA chant but was nailed by Ray as he returned over the rail. Ray gave Dreamer an atomic drop on the railing, then nailed him.
Ray beat Dreamer with a kendo stick. He grabbed Dreamer and placed him on the stairs. He went to slam Dreamer with a chair but Dreamer moved. Dreamer nailed Ray and tossed some weapons that just happened to be at ringside into the ring. He nailed Ray with a cane to the head. Dreamer went under the ring and pulled out a blowup doll. You know, because those things are always under the ring. Dreamer nailed Ray in the head and Ray fell into the "69†position with the doll. Dreamer splashed both and covered Ray for a two count.
Dreamer went to come off the top rope with a road sign but took too long so Ray nailed him in the head. Ray superplexed Dreamer into the ring. TNA had a great overhead shot of the move. Ray went for the Bubba Bomb but Dreamer slipped out and DDT'd Ray for a two count.
Dreamer went under the ring for tables just as the crowd began chanting for them. He slipped one into the ring and began setting it up. Dreamer set Ray up for the piledriver on it but Ray backdropped Dreamer away. He killed Dreamer with a trash can shot to the head. Fans began chanting for Devon. Ray nailed a big boot to the face but Dreamer grabbed the bottom rope.
Ray began beating Dreamer with the Singapore Cane. Ray kept beating Dreamer as he screamed at him on the mic. Ray said this one was for Devon and went to put Dreamer through the table. Devon's music hit and out came Devon's sons Terrance and Terrell. They made their way to the ring. Devon came from behind and woke Dreamer up. He snuck behind Bubba and Devon and Dreamer nailed Team 3D through the table on Ray.
Dreamer scored the pin.
Your winner, Tommy Dreamer!
Fun brawl, but I am begging Dreamer to protect himself when he's taking shots to the head. Beyond that, I enjoyed this. Ray has dropped some weight and really has done a great job freshening himself up. Dreamer worked this like he had something to prove and the direction helped build more steam for the Devon-Ray feud.
Christy Hemme interviewed TNA Knockouts champions Winter & Angelina Love and Velvet Sky. Hemme said that a lot of people were shocked that Winter saved Sky. Winter said that her actions proved that she has no issue with Sky, and the only issues are Sky's jealousy and delusion. She said that she's just happy that Angelina is seeing that for herself. Sky looked shocked and asked Love if that was true but the champions walked out. Sky asked what was going on.
TNA Knockouts Tag Team champions Angelina Love & Winter vs. Rosita & Sarita
Sarita took the mic early and said that tonight was going to be a great night because she and Rosita were going to win the Tag Team belts. She said that the champs have some strange love triangle thing going on and they aren't focused. She started ranting in Spanish to get heat and said tonight, they were going to take the belts to start Mexico taking back what is rightfully theirs.
Rosita and Love kicked off the match. Love grabbed a side headlock. Rosita used kidney shots to escape but Love shoulderblocked her down. Sarita tagged in but was caught with a headlock takeover and sent into the champs' corner. She went running back into Love, who nailed a suplex.
Winter tagged in with Sarita eating a backbreaker for a two count. She nailed a Northern Lights suplex, which Rosita broke up. Rosita seemed nervous early on. Love tagged in. Rosita tried to help but the cousins nailed each other. Love nailed a slam for a two count on Rosita, then tagged in Winter. Rosita used a back heel trip to take out Winter and tagged Rosita, but another screw-up as Sarita dropkicked Rosita.
Love and Winter tagged in and out, controlling Sarita, until Rosita grabbed Love on a rebound and yanked her hair. Rosita tagged in but missed a legdrop. The champs tagged in and out, including a nice doubleteam when Love kicked Rosita with a Yakuza Kick as she was dropped into a Samoan Drop by Winter. Sarita grabbed a Tag belt and tried to use it but Love nailed her, then followed her to the floor, beating on her.
Winter turned to see the fight and Rosita grabbed the belt to nail Winter. Velvet hit the scene and grabbed the belt. Winter rolled up Rosita but the referee was outside. The pin was reversed and Rosita scored the pin. The idea here is that the former champs were blaming Sky.
Your winners and new TNA Knockout Tag Team champions, Rosita & Sarita!
We went to a vignette of The Jarretts on their honeymoon. Jeff's daughters were with them. Everyone was having a great time on rides except Karen. She demanded their babysitter take the kids back to the hotel but Jarrett instead made the call it was time for pizza. Jeff's daughters, who have done some acting, including a Taylor Swift video, were good here, as was Karen's look of disgust at her honeymoon being at a theme park. Maybe Seaworld would have been a better choice?
Christy Hemme interviewed Matt Morgan. Morgan said he was pissed Hernandez took away his moment to become TNA champion. Morgan said that he wasn't impressed Hernandez spent some time in Mexico. Morgan said that just as quickly as Hernandez rose to prominence there, Morgan can slap him back down. Morgan said that when he was done with Hernandez, his sights are back on the TNA title. He said that he doesn't care who has it – he wants it. Usual good Morgan promo.
Matt Morgan vs. Hernandez – First Blood
Morgan went right after Hernandez early, beating him to the mat and stepping on his throat. Hernandez went to the floor and tried to smash him into the ring steps. Hernandez prevented it but was then nailed and slammed into the steps. The referee checked for blood but there wasn't any. Hernandez staggered around the ring, trying to regain his senses.
Hernandez nailed Morgan as he returned to the ring and caught him with a shoulderblock. He grabbed a stick, broke it over his knee and began working over Morgan. He tried to stab Morgan in the face (think Tully Blanchard vs. Magnum TA) but Morgan held him off. Hernandez choked Morgan against the ropes, then raked his back. Hernandez ripped at Morgan's eyes. He drilled Morgan with a series of rights but was caught with a sideslam.
Hernandez came back with a running shoulderblock before Morgan could build any momentum, then beat him down with a series of clubbing blows. Hernandez caught Morgan with a shoulderblock in a corner where the turnbuckle was exposed. Hernandez rebounded off the ropes but was caught with a discus clothesline.
Morgan worked over Hernandez and drilled him with a Fall Away Slam. He went to the outside and grabbed the broken stick. This didn't get the reaction you'd think. Hernandez kicked Morgan in the mid-section and went to the top rope but was slammed off the top. Morgan signaled for the Carbon Footprint but someone hit the ring. The referee and security dragged him out. Hernandez pulled out a chain but Morgan stopped him, grabbed the chain and nailed Hernandez with it. The referee was knocked down during the "meleeâ€, according to the announcers.
Morgan went after Hernandez, who, I kid you not, grabbed a vial of fake blood and squirted it all over Morgan's chest. Jackson James came to the ring, saw the blood and called for the bell. As it turned out, Hernandez was bleeding from the chain punch.
Your winner, Hernandez!
The match was OK but the finish was really, REALLY contrived. I get that the idea was to continue building James as the modern day Danny Davis, but this was a little too silly. I don't think anyone got anything out of this.
Christy Hemme interviewed Generation Me. Jeremy Buck acted like he didn't want to wrestle Max. Max said it was his birthday and said that as a birthday present, Jeremy came up with the idea that no matter what, Max would win the belt. Jeremy looked like he had no idea what Max was talking about. Max said it was going to be about Generation Max tonight. Max was good here.
Jeremy Borash interviewed X-Division champion Kazarian. Kazarian said he was in the first ever Ultimate X match and is willing to do things that no one else is prepared to do. He said that like Charlie Sheen, that is "winning.†Kazarian said the match can shorten careers but can also make careers and tonight, it's going to make his career. Good promo.
They went to a vignette where Robbie E was cool and collected about tonight as he got a drink while Cookie was losing her mind about the match. E said that it was GTX tonight, "Gym, Tanning, X-Division belt.†She looked at him like he was nuts. E walked off and Cookie turned to the person serving the drinks and said, "Please tell me you have vodka in there.†That was funny.
They aired a great video on the Ultimate X match
TNA X-Division champ Kazarian vs. Jeremy Buck vs. Max Buck vs. Robbie E – Ultimate X
The storylines here are that Cookie is freaking out while Max expected Jeremy to help him win. Kazarian's really found himself in the last few months and you can feel this star aura when he comes out as compared to the past. E got tossed to the ring early. Generation Me worked over Kazarian with several double team moves but Kaz avoided a charge by Jeremy. Kazarian springboarded himself to the cables but was pulled down. That was impressive.
Robbie E attacked Kazarian and worked him over in the corne He whipped Kazarian into the corner, where he bumped to the floor. He took out Generation Me and started to work his way across the cables. Kazarian followed and nailed him off the cables, then dropped off with a legdrop.
Kazarian nailed Jeremy coming in but was nailed and caught with a faceplant. Max started making his way across the cables. E nailed Jeremy with a neckbreaker. Kazarian clotheslined Max, knocking him off the cables. E drilled Kazarian with a big knee and a series of elbows. E went to go up and over on Kazarian but was trapped in Fade to Black. He slipped out but was nailed, taking a nasty bump onto the ring steps.
Kazarian nailed E but then ate a dropkick through the ropes by Max. Max monkeyflipped Jeremy onto the top rope, where he hit a springboard moonsault to the outside. That was awesome. Maz stared calling for Jeremy to return but Kazarian caught him and nailed him on the floor. Max and Kazarian battled back and forth. Jeremy caught him with a rebound dropkick. This is a lot of really good stuff so far.
Max tried to work the cables but was pulled down by Kazarian. Generation Me nailed him with a sandwich dropkick. Max made his way across the cables. Jeremy blocked Kazarian on the cables and they battled, then crashed. Max almost made it to the belt but Kazarian grabbed his legs and swung him. Max fell into the ring and Kazarian nailed him with an Ace Cutter in mid-air. Nice move.
E recovered and began crossing the wires. Max pulled him down and they went back and forth. Max kicked off an E charge in the corner and nailed a Buff Blockbuster off the ropes. Max, who has been on fire here, went to the top rope but was shoved into the metal structure by Kazarian. Ouch!
Jeremy Buck and Kazarian battled back and forth in the corner. Jeremy nailed Robbie E then drilledKazarian again. They ended up doing a Tower of Doom superplex out of the corner with all three. This is a hell of a stunt show. All four men were down and out.
Kazarian nailed the Reverse Piledriver on Robbie E but was walloped by several kicks from Jeremy Buck. With Max still out, Jeremy went to the top rope but was nailed by a Kazarian boot. Kazarian went for the Flux Capacitor and nailed it, turning it into almost a splash-like move on the way down. It looked sick.
Robbie E and Kazarian battled to get to the belt first. Generation Me dragged E off and nailed him with a double superkick. They turned their attention to Kazarian, swinging his legs until he crashed and burned. Jeremy went to the top but Max was pissed and pulled him down. They argued and Max went to the top. Jeremy finally said the hell with it and went up anyway. They met at the center and began beating the other while hanging from their legs. Jeremy finally collapsed.
Robbie E brought in a ladder and nailed Kazarian with it as Max was knocked off. Kazarian walked the wires, using the structure to hold himself as E set up the ladder and climbed it. They struggled over the belt but Kazarian eventually pulled it off and grabbed it. He kicked E off the ladder, the fell down into the ring. They didn't ring the bell until Kaz landed on the floor.
Your winner, Kazarian!
If you like lots of crazy moves and aerial spectacles, this was right up your alley. I was really blown away by the amount of punishment these guys all took. This may have been Max Buck's best showing to date. Jeremy Buck looked real good. E looked strong and Kazarian continued his ascent in the company. I really enjoyed this.
We are back with the Jarretts on their honeymoon. Karen was hot and wanted to go back to the hotel. Jeff said that he knew just what everyone wanted. Karen thought he meant going back to the hotel for champagne, but it was a second pizza pie. Karen was mad but Jeff promised he had something great for everyone. He told Karen she was getting wet. I guess that means they are going on the Popeye rapids ride, which could be great for comedy. The kids were all really good here.

Colorado Cold Cases: FEMA videographer may never have to face murder charges
The Denver District Attorney's office has confirmed that Argentina President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner has blocked the extradition of a murder suspect living in Buenos Aires who is charged with the murder of his wife.
Lynn Kimbrough, spokeswoman for District Attorney Mitch Morrissey, said this week that the office received confirmation from the U.S. Department of Justice that Kirchner denied the extradition of Kurt Sonnenfeld, who is charged with killing his wife, Nancy.
"We are extremely disappointed in the final decision by Argentina to not allow the extradition of Kurt Sonnenfeld," Kimbrough said in a statement. "However, our disappointment is second to our concern and sympathy for Nancy Sonnenfeld's family and friends. They suffered a great loss when Nancy was murdered, and now suffer another great loss in not being able to see the pursuit of justice on her behalf."
In rejecting Sonnenfeld's extradition, Argentina cited human rights as the reason. It also says that extradition could put Argentina in a position of violating an international principle of not forcing the return of asylum seekers to countries where they could be persecuted.
I tried to reach out to Nancy's family this week but was unable to do so. I well know the turmoil they are undergoing, but I also know that they believe strongly that God will be the ultimate judge in this case.
Sonnenfeld, who is charged in the New Year's Day 2002 murder of his first wife, is a former videographer for the Federal Emergency Management Agency. His video over the course of several weeks in September 2001 documented rescue and recovery efforts that were broadcast around the world.
At 9 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 21, 2015, CBS News' news magazine 48 Hours will air a profile about Sonnenfeld's case. I was interviewed by Correspondent Erin Moriarty and my comments will appear in the telecast.

Father's Day Cards and GiftsPosted 11:09
Sat 26 May
by Jeff
Hey, You! What are you doing?! Don't get your dad some kind of generic Father's Day gift from Target, or worse...The dollar store! Get him something original...like...I don't know...This Fishing shirt Illustrated by myself! Or, maybe your dad isn't the sporting type, maybe he's a science guy or a computer nerd. Anyway, what I'm saying is that I've got all kinds of products, in my Zazzle shop, that would make great Dad's Day gifts.
But wait, there's more! You're gonna need a greeting card to go along with that gift, right? Well I've turned a couple of Daily Doodles into cards just for the occasion. Specifically #137 The Snuggo and #86 Ghost Dad.
So, please go check out my store and get your Dad something cool. I can vouch for the quality of Zazzle's products. I've purchased, several things from them and the quality is really nice. Prints come out great. Even the dark T-shirts. I'd say it's the next best thing to screen printing. They do a really good job and I'm not just saying that because I stand to make money from your purchases.

|Gives rise to
The placenta is an ephemeral organ present in placental vertebrates. The term placenta comes from the Latin for cake, from Greek plakoenta, accusative of plakoeis - πλακοείς, "flat"[1][2], referring to its appearance in humans. Protherial (egg-laying) and metatherial (marsupial) mammals do not produce a placenta (false, marsupials have a choriovitelline placenta) The placenta develops from the same sperm and egg cells that form the fetus, and functions as a foetomaternal organ with two components, the foetal part (Chorion frondosum), and the maternal part (Decidua basalis).
In humans, the placenta averages 22 cm (9 in.) in length and 2-2.5 cm (0.8-1 in.) in thickness. It typically weighs approximately 500 grams (1 lb). It has a dark reddish/blue or maroon color. It connects to the fetus by an umbilical cord of approximately 55-60 cm (22-24 in.) in length that contains two arteries and one vein.[3] The umbilical cord inserts into the chorionic plate. Vessels branch out over the surface of the placenta and further divide to form a network covered by a thin layer of cells. This results in the formation of villous tree structures. On the maternal side, these villous tree structures are grouped into lobules called cotelydons. In humans the placenta usually has a disc shape but different mammalian species have widely varying shapes.[4]
The placenta begins to develop upon implantation of the blastocyst into the maternal endometrium. The outer layer of the blastocyst becomes the trophoblast which forms the outer layer of the placenta. This outer layer is divided into two further layers; the underlying cytotrophoblast layer and the overlying syncytiotrophoblast layer. The syncytiotrophoblast is a multinucleate continuous cell layer which covers the surface of the placenta. It forms as a result of differentiation and fusion of the underlying cytotrophoblast cells, a process which continues throughout placental development. The syncytiotrophoblast (otherwise known as syncytium), thereby contributes to the barrier function of the placenta.
The placenta grows throughout pregnancy. Development of the maternal blood supply to the placenta is suggested to be complete by the end of the first trimester of pregnancy (approximately 12-13 weeks).
Placental circulationEdit
Maternal placental circulationEdit
In preparation for implantation, the uterine endometrium undergoes 'decidualisation'. Spiral arteries in the decidua are remodelled so that they become less convoluted and their diameter is increased. This increases maternal blood flow to the placenta and also decreases resistance so that shear stress is reduced. The relatively high pressure as the maternal blood enters the intervillous space through these spiral arteries bathes the villi in blood. An exchange of gases takes place. As the pressure decreases, the deoxygenated blood flows back through the endometrial veins.
Maternal blood flow is approx 400 ml/min at term.
Fetoplacental circulationEdit
Deoxygenated fetal blood passes through umbilical arteries to the placenta. At the junction of umbilical cord and placenta, the umbilical arteries branch radially to form chorionic arteries. Chorionic arteries also branch before they enter into the villi. In the villi, they form an extensive arteriocapillary venous system, bringing the fetal blood extremely close to the maternal blood; but no intermingling of fetal and maternal blood occurs ("placental barrier"[5]).
The perfusion of the intervillous spaces of the placenta with maternal blood allows the transfer of nutrients and oxygen from the mother to the fetus and the transfer of waste products and carbon dioxide back from the fetus to the mother.
Metabolic and endocrine activityEdit
In addition to the transfer of gases and nutrients, the placenta also has metabolic and endocrine activity. It produces, among other hormones, progesterone, which is important in maintaining the pregnancy; somatomammotropin (also known as placental lactogen), which acts to increase the amount of glucose and lipids in the maternal blood; estrogen; relaxin, and beta human chorionic gonadotrophin (beta-hCG). This results in increased transfer of these nutrients to the fetus and is also the main cause of the increased blood sugar levels seen in pregnancy. This hormone (beta-hCG) ensures that progesterone and oestrogen are secreted; progesterone and oestrogen thicken and maintain the uterine lining as well as inhibit the production and release of more eggs. However after about 2 months the placenta takes on the role of producing progesterone and therefore beta-hCG is no longer needed. Beta-hCG is excreted in urine and this is what pregnancy tests detect. It also produces insulin-like growth factors (IGFs).
Cloaking from immune system of motherEdit
To hide itself from attack by the mother's immune system, the placenta secretes Neurokinin B containing phosphocholine molecules. This is the same mechanism used by parasitic nematodes to avoid detection by the immune system of their host.[6]
When the fetus is born, its placenta begins a physiological separation for spontaneous expulsion afterwards (and for this reason is also called the afterbirth). In humans, the umbilical cord is routinely clamped and severed prior to the delivery of the placenta, often within seconds or minutes of birth, a medical protocol known as 'active management of third stage' which has been called into question by advocates of natural birth and 'passive management of third stage'[7] The site of the former umbilical cord attachment in the center of the front of the abdomen is known as the umbilicus, navel, or belly-button.
Modern obstetric practice has decreased maternal death rates enormously. The addition of active management of the third stage of labor is a major contributor towards this. It involves giving oxytocin via IM injection, followed by cord traction to assist in delivering the placenta. Premature cord traction can pull the placenta before it has naturally detached from the uterine wall, resulting in hemorrhage. The BMJ summarized the Cochrane group metanalysis (2000) of the benefits of active third stage as follows:
"One systematic review found that active management of the third stage of labour, consisting of controlled cord traction, early cord clamping plus drainage, and a prophylactic oxytocic agent, reduced postpartum haemorrhage of 500 or 1000 mL or greater and related morbidities including mean blood loss, postpartum haemoglobin less than 9 g/dL, blood transfusion, need for supplemental iron postpartum, and length of third stage of labour. Although active management increased adverse effects such as nausea, vomiting, and headache, one RCT identified by the review found that women were less likely to be dissatisfied when their third stage of labour was actively managed."[3]
Risks of retained placenta include hemorrhage and infection. If the placenta fails to deliver in 30 minutes in a hospital environment, manual extraction may be required if heavy ongoing bleeding occurs, and very rarely a curettage is necessary to ensure that no remnants of the placenta remain (in rare conditions with very adherent placenta (placenta accreta)). However, in birth centers and attended home birth environments, it is common for licensed care providers to wait for the placenta's birth up to 2 hours in some instances.
In most mammalian species, the mother bites through the cord and consumes the placenta, primarily for the benefit of prostaglandin on the uterus after birth. This is known as placentophagy. However, it has been observed in zoology that chimpanzees, with which humans share 99% of genetic material, apply themselves to nurturing their offspring, and keep the fetus, cord, and placenta intact until the cord dries and detaches the next day.
The placena exists in most mammals and some reptiles. It is probably polyphyletic.
Pathology Edit
Cultural practices and beliefs Edit
The placenta often plays an important role in various human cultures, with many societies conducting rituals regarding its disposal. In the Western world, the placenta is most often incinerated.[8]
Some cultures bury the placenta for various reasons. The Māori of New Zealand traditionally bury the placenta from a newborn child to emphasize the relationship between humans and the earth.[9] Similarly, the Navajo bury the placenta and umbilical cord at a specially-chosen site,[10] particularly if the baby dies during birth.[11] In Cambodia and Costa Rica, burial of the placenta is believed to protect and ensure the health of the baby and the mother.[12] If a mother dies in childbirth, the Aymara of Bolivia bury the placenta in a secret place so that the mother's spirit will not return to claim her baby's life.[13]
The placenta is believed by some communities to have power over the lives of the baby or its parents. The Kwakiutl of British Columbia bury girls' placentas to give the girl skill in digging clams, and expose boys' placentas to ravens to encourage future prophetic visions. In Turkey, the proper disposal of the placenta and umbilical cord is believed to promote devoutness in the child later in life. In Ukraine, Transylvania, and Japan, interaction with a disposed placenta is thought to influence the parents' future fertility. The ancient Egyptians believed that the placenta was imbued with magical powers.[12] In fact, the placenta of the pharaoh was placed on a pole and carried into battle. This is history's first flag. <http://www.psychohistory.com/htm/eln04f_footnotestrauma.html>
Several cultures believe the placenta to be or have been alive, often a relative of the baby. Nepalese think of the placenta as a friend of the baby's; Malaysian Orang Asli regard it as the baby's older sibling. The Ibo of Nigeria consider the placenta the deceased twin of the baby, and conduct full funeral rites for it.[12] Native Hawaiians believe that the placenta is a part of the baby, and traditionally plant it with a tree which can then grow alongside the child.[8]
In some cultures, the placenta is eaten, a practice known as placentophagy. In some eastern cultures, such as China and Hong Kong, the placenta is thought to be healthy and is used in medicine and various health products.[14]

Who to Watch 2007
These seven individuals will undoubtedly make headlines in 2007. Enjoy this sneak peak of the Class of '07.
William Harris, Science Foundation Arizona
When you enter Dr. William Harris' office, something other than science jumps out at you. Photographs of Harris with state leaders like President George W. Bush hang near autographed photos of baseball heroes. His bookshelves feature rows of studies that lie near bats and leather balls. But upon closer examination, his baseball bat has a flat face with a curved end and is not a baseball bat at all. His bat is a hurling stick. And the stick is covered with autographs—from Ireland's prime minister and deputy prime minister. Harris began his new role as president and CEO of Science Foundation Arizona fresh off a five-year term as Science Foundation Ireland's director general. He adopted hurling as his sport-of-choice after moving to Ireland, to strengthen the country's science industry in 2001. His work helped contribute to a booming, viable economy that has become a template for other nations to follow.
"In 1988, the World Bank almost declared [Ireland] bankrupt," says Harris. "Through education and a commitment to the idea that being rich is better than being poor, the country changed things around…These simple principles galvanized people to work together. Ireland wanted to create a cadre of competitive workers and speed was important in getting it done. The challenge was compelling."
Harris spent his career teaching chemistry at the collegiate level in South Carolina. Later, he worked for the National Science Foundation for 18 years, then came aboard Columbia University's Biosphere 2 project in Tucson and eventually returned to the south.
Born out of the 21st Century Innovation Fund and initiated in the spring of 2006, Science Foundation Arizona seeks to support the science, engineering and innovation industry within the state. The nonprofit is a public/private partnership and was appropriated with $35 million to help create a competitive environment that encourages and supports knowledge-driven economics.
"We should be embarrassed by the fact that we rank 47th or 48th in education," says Harris. "How can you be an Arizonan and be at the bottom and think that it's okay? Why don't we have a shared consensus that we owe our children a good education?"
"A culture that welcomes new things and new ways of thinking is very attractive to young people." he says. "I'd like to create a culture where there is an ambition here for high school students to become the next Bill Gates or Michael Dell, where this state will inspire and support these students. Of course, I also want the next greatest baseball pitcher to come from here too," he adds.
Dana Naimark, Children's Action Alliance
Dana Naimark possesses that rare combination of business savvy and genuine compassion. Her desire to advocate for children does not detract from her business acumen and strategic expertise. This dichotomy has helped her represent Children's Action Alliance for 13 years as director of special projects and now, allows her to segue into her new role as president and CEO starting this month.
"How children are doing and functioning is so important for all Arizonans," says Naimark. "[CAA] is 18 years old and our founder is moving out of state, so our goal is to remain as strong, credible and active as ever."
CAA is a nonprofit, privately funded research and advocacy organization which seeks to improve the quality of life of Arizona's children. The organization focuses on vulnerable children, including those who are abused, neglected or live in poverty. CAA does not provide direct services; its staff influences public decision and provides research and potential solutions to benefit these children. "We identify the problem, identify the solution, then bring people and ideas together to make those solutions happen," she says.
Her major goals for the organization are health coverage and early childhood development. She stresses that continued research of babies, toddlers and preschoolers' experiences affect their overall brain development.
"[This research] is incredibly vital to the state," she says. "It's critical to what Arizona will look like—Who will be our workforce? Who will care for us?"
Her involvement in policy began as a budget analyst for the state legislature under Gov. Rose Mofford. CAA Founder Carol Kaiman soon realized the agency couldn't be too effective on children's issues without being effective on budget issues and needed someone who would both understand and excel in both these subjects. "At that time (1993), I was looking for a challenge that was rewarding and had a mission I cared about, so it was a perfect match," says Naimark.
CAA's $1.3 million budget supports non-partisan research and advocacy projects and a staff of 13 people in Phoenix and Tucson. Both national supporters, like the Annie E. Casey Foundation and the Ford Foundation, and local funders, like the Pulliam Foundation, help provide the needed financing to let Naimak and her staff continue their work.
"Over the past few years, Arizona and the United States have become more polarized," she says. "CAA focuses on finding common ground. There is a lot of hope and confidence we'll find ways to carve solutions out in this polarized environment. Professionally and personally, I'm committed to helping families here—both for the state's future and for my own family."
Jennifer Croll, Croll Corp.
If you instantly recognize Jennifer Croll's name, you probably have a savvy shopper in your circle or you yourself are the fashion plate. Her boutiques, which share the same name, offer high-end designer clothing for men and women. This fashion-forward entrepreneur could easily be mistaken for one of the glamorous celebrities she dresses—from her white, Dior sunglasses down to her black, peep toe heels.
However, this successful, trendsetting retailer now has another avenue to create a more stylish Arizona. The Mix, a 30,000-square-foot space along Scottsdale's waterfront, is Arizona's newest foray into exclusive shopping and upscale entertainment, and Croll's first foray into large-scale development. Her project is the retail element of Southbridge, the "urban village" that will offer residences, dining, entertainment, a nonprofit aspect and plenty of pedestrian-friendly space.
"We've handpicked the tenants and stayed local," she says. "We wanted to embrace the local talent, so we sat with each prospective retailer to find out their vision, reputation and personality… We want something unique."
There are no national chain stores included in the $10 million retail development. "If there ever were to be another Mix in another city, we'd localize the retailers there too," she says. Three buildings comprise the retail component: Nest offers upscale products for home and garden; Live features fashion, lavish restaurants and luxurious spa treatments; and Play, which features a toy store and interactive retailers.
Her aptitude for predicting fashion trends (in addition to her aversion to mall culture) led to the opening of her first boutique in Los Gatos, Calif. A few years later, Croll and husband Cristian opened boutiques throughout California, Texas and Arizona. They eventually relocated here and now have been completely focused on The Mix. She hopes retailers like Moody Blues, Melange and Angelic Garden will help create a major destination point in downtown Scottsdale.
Croll's retail experience complements the work of partner Fred Unger, president and founder of Spring Creek Development, who is developing Southbridge. "Fred knows all about the hospitality and residential industries, and since I know retail, it was a great [collaboration]," she says. "I've worked with brilliant people on this project. We've collected a group of people that all believe in this vision—I couldn't do it on my own."
With The Mix opening August 2007, six successful boutiques across the western United States and two children, Croll's schedule will not be easing up any time soon. "This has been an unbelievable process—designing the project, picking retailers," she says. "It's been fun and different from my past projects."
Mike Ebert, RED Development
Visit any Arizona drugstore or airport gift shop and you'll find racks of postcards featuring cacti, sunsets, howling coyotes and the Grand Canyon. Mike Ebert hopes to add one more photo to the display—CityScape.
Ebert, a managing and founding partner of RED Development, hopes CityScape, a 2.5 million-plus-square-foot downtown development, will be the "iconic project for all of Phoenix" and its skyline will serve as postcard fodder for years to come. "When people are flying over the airport, they will say 'What's that?' as they touch down near downtown Phoenix. This is the opportunity for downtown Phoenix to have a heart and soul."
The three-block, Copper Square downtown project is one of the largest private investments in the state's history—nearly $1 billion to create a thriving urban development. CityScape will offer residential units, a boutique hotel, 550,000 square feet of Class-A office, 250,000 square feet of retail, more than two and a half acres of pedestrian-friendly open space and three Light Rail stops. Phase I is set to open spring 2009 and the remaining construction planned for a 2011 completion.
"Consumers want an experience now," he says. "[CityScape's] niche will be the one place in Arizona to have a true urban experience."
Ebert's vision for an urban destination perfectly matched downtown's renaissance as the Phoenix Convention Center expansion, Arizona State University campus, University of Arizona Medical School and other projects began to take form. Building an urban hub required the collaboration of commercial real estate leaders like Cardon Development Group, Baron Collier Companies and Atlanta's Novare Group. Ebert says downtown previously focused on government, law and banking. Now, as the Arizona Biomedical Campus and ASU campus progress, Phoenix can get the "creative type" downtown.
"Our timing couldn't be better," says Ebert. "CityScape can embrace diversity; suburbia tends to be very homogeneous."
Ebert's youthful looks seem to contradict his well-established reputation throughout the state. He, with three colleagues, formed RED Development in 1995.
Select purveyors A.J.'s Fine Foods and P.F. Changs China Bistro are the first retailers to commit to the project and be a part of the downtown entertainment attraction. The development will look progressive and contemporary, intermixed with an outdoorsy quality to satisfy pedestrian needs.
"There is no central spot downtown," says Ebert. "Our goal is when someone says, 'Let's meet downtown,' it's at Central Avenue and Washington Street—at CityScape."
Gary Waissi, Ph.D., Arizona State University
When you first meet Gary Waissi, Ph.D., its difficult not to pay attention. A hard-to-place accent comes out of an imposing frame, and while you're still figuring out where he's from, Waissi has cracked a joke about his native Finland and his worldly escapades.
With an academic and global business background, Waissi will impart his knowledge and professional skills within his new position as dean of Arizona State University's School of Global Management and Leadership (SGML). He hopes to extend the school's "global footprint," designating ASU as a leader of globally oriented management education and research by 2011.
"When everything is said and done, my internal goal is to make this school nationally recognized as a global presence within five years," Waissi says. "If I can help ASU expand globally, from this small school at ASU West, then I've succeeded." Currently, the school has 1,700 undergraduate students (200 graduate students); in five years, he hopes enrollment increases to 2,000 undergraduate students (800 graduate students). Additionally, he plans for the SGML to launch six new degree programs by fall 2008.
Accomplishing this goal will be a challenge, but this is nothing new to someone whose strategic planning efforts have become a professional trademark. Waissi's proven ability to successfully assess, plan and implement academic opportunities for international institutions has taken him around the world, specifically in developing regions like Rwanda, Uzbekistan and Ukraine.
Waissi comes to ASU from the University of Michigan-Dearborn (UM) where he completed his deanship at the School of Management last year. Since 1982, Waissi had been with the UM first as a Ph.D. candidate, then as faculty member, then department chair and eventually dean.
Before his time at the UM, he worked as project manager for Philipp Holzmann AG in 1979. His position with the construction giant brought him to west Africa, where he helped build Nigeria's Onne Lighter Terminal Port and other projects during the course of three years. Earlier, he left Finland to study in Germany and later work as an assistant at the Helsinki University of Technology.
"I went to Nigeria as an engineer, but during my stay, the project manager wanted to return home," he says. "Overnight, I was given the responsibility of this huge project. I was 29 years old and had almost 1,000 people working for me. I had no idea at the time, but [in today's dollars], that was a $1 billion project."
Dr. Richard H. Carmona, Canyon Ranch
Dr. Richard Carmona traded in power lunches for balanced, gourmet cuisine and bi-partisan juggling for low-impact aerobics when he left Washington D.C. for Arizona earlier this year.
After completing his term as 17th Surgeon General of the United States, Carmona returned to his home in Tucson and began work with Canyon Ranch—serving as vice chairman of the parent company, CEO of Canyon Ranch Health and president of Canyon Ranch Institute, the company's nonprofit division. He'll achieve his goal of prevention not only as business leader but educator as he receives the first Distinguished Professorship in Public Health at the University of Arizona's Mel and Enid Zuckerman College of Public Health. Mel Zuckerman founded Canyon Ranch 27 years ago, with its original destination health resort in Tucson, abutting Sabino Canyon.
"D.C. is a contentious environment and health is one of the most partisan issues out there; but as the doctor of the nation, you're there to take care of the people," says Carmona. He is the image of good health—a toned physique that more resembles one of his university students than one of his 57-year-old peers. Starting a new career path within a wholesome, amiable setting has allowed Carmona to re-focus his efforts on preventative medicine and health and wellness. A staunch supporter of "health-oriented" treatment, Carmona's new challenge becomes the conversion of medical research into a best practices format for people to improve their health.
"I have a very close relationship with the community in southern Arizona," Carmona says. "I've known Mel and Enid for years and they brought me back here. When [I left D.C.], there were job offers from around the world. But my work as surgeon general was a perfect fit for Canyon Ranch's vision and mission." Canyon Ranch goes beyond the hospitality, healthcare and beauty industries—the company is an amalgamation of everything needed to live a healthy life, both physically and metaphysically. The resorts offer sumptuous meals that meet balanced dietary guidelines, individual and group classes designed to enhance the mind, body and spirit and opportunities to create personalized assessments of current health goals and future aspirations. Canyon Ranch conveys its philosophy of disease prevention and overall health betterment every way possible—on campus, by research and through collaborations.
Zuckerman, aware of the fact that not every person has the means to access Canyon Ranch's world-class resources, set up the Canyon Ranch Institute, where doctors and nurses from low-income areas can learn Canyon Ranch methodologies and techniques to take back to improve their respective community's level of health.
"The revenue brought in by Canyon Ranch provides opportunities to better communities," says Carmona, who now serves as president of the nonprofit sector. "I have students who want to provide public health to third world countries, and I tell them, 'Look around.' Some of the Native American reservations have health statistics sometimes worse than a third world country. Domestic violence, obesity, hypertension, maternal and child mortality rates are all too high. Mel and Enid want best practices in place for needier communities to change the current numbers."
Carmona describes himself as an "agent of change." His goal to position Canyon Health at the forefront of the health and wellness industry will secure its place as the No. 1 health organization. "What I'm trying to do here is to 'be a futurist' and figure out where we need to be for the health of the American public."
Brian Mueller, Apollo Group
One of the biggest local stories in 2006 was the Arizona Cardinals' stadium. And with the excitement that surrounded the new look, just as much controversy swirled around the frenzied bidding wars to name the stadium. As potential sponsors salivated at the chance to win naming rights, ticket holders soon discovered where they would be attending games: University of Phoenix Stadium. The 20-year, $154 million naming-rights deal was a huge marketing coup for Apollo Group Inc. (University of Phoenix's parent company) and its president, Brian Mueller. This sports-marketing venture sets off a massive marketing campaign beginning in January. "The naming rights [deal] is just a small part of the campaign," says Mueller. "The point is to create dialogue of who the University of Phoenix is and what we do. We want to lift the credibility of the institution so the value of our degrees continue to grow."
Mueller's push for national exposure goes far beyond the NFL—University of Phoenix will soon partner with giants Time Warner and Monster.com. Time Warner will work with the academic institution in regards to content. Mueller wants archived/current CNN material to be sorted into coursework, and partner with America Online to build online communities of students, alumni and faculty. Monster.com would involve an advertising partnership to build co-branded Web sites offering information about careers.
"We're targeting working adults that comprise most of our student population," says Mueller. "We want to position the university as being innovative in higher education, that thinks ahead in terms of its students."
According to Mueller, 320,000 students throughout the world attend University of Phoenix, either in person or online. He hopes this marketing push grows the students base 10 percent a year, while also improving the image of the institution. To accommodate this growth, the company is consolidating its online staff and corporate headquarters to the new Riverpoint Center at Interstate 10 and 32nd Street. The 630,000-square-foot project, opening spring 2007, is one of the largest capital projects for Apollo.
The University of Phoenix is an important force in Arizona's economy. Mueller says the school produces $2.4 billion worth of revenue per year, employs a workforce of 10,000 people, leases 2.5 million square feet of space and pays more than $40 million in taxes.
Mueller began his career in education as a high school teacher and basketball coach, later teaching at Concordia College in Nebraska. His work with the University of Phoenix began in 1987 on the Phoenix campus and after many promotions, including CEO of the online campus, he became president of Apollo last year.

One Social Media - http://www.onesocialmedia.com
I'm the CEO of a new social media marketing company, striving to help small and medium size companies use a social media marketing mix for their business (Blogging, Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, etc.).
We want to give our employees and customers something cool that they'd wear at the bar on weekends with their friends - something not over the top, but something cool and hip.
We envision using "Chat Bubbles" or something like this as one of the designs - which is something we'd like to see. Perhaps a shirt design with sayings on it. We're open to your creativity.
We're targeting our own employees (mostly Gen Y & X), social media consultants (and salespeople) who go from dressing business casual (or business dress) to going out with friends at the bar on weekends.
We also would like this design to be something we could give away to our prospects and/or customers, and people would actually wear it.
We would like to see our logo incorporated into the design - if subtle that's ok, if an element of it, that's ok too.
We'll leave it to you to be creative.
Please look at the uploaded images for ideas on colors and color schemes.

No, Capcom did not learn from the mistakes it made with other half-assed Phoenix Wii ports. Besides the first entry, of course, Trials and Tribulations is the best game in the lawyer adventure series. It would be nice to see it get the treatment it deserves, but if Capcom hasn't fixed its DS-to-WiiWare methodology by now, don't expect much from this series' appearance on the big screen.
Trials and Tribulations is the third Ace Attorney game, originally released in Japan for the Game Boy Advance (why does it always take so long for awesome to travel overseas?) as Gyakuten Saiban 3 (literally, Turnabout Trial 3). Like its predecessors, it defies genre standards but falls somewhere between visual novel and point-and-click adventure. It's also the last game to star Phoenix Wright, lawyer with a heart of gold, replaced in later games by Apollo Justice and Miles Edgeworth, respectively.
Trials and Tribulations doesn't significantly evolve game mechanics the way that Phoenix's second game, Justice For All, did with the inclusion of secret-keeping Psyche-Locks. What it does achieve is mastery over previously implemented mechanics, a greater task than simply adding more ingredients to a palatable dish. Both the trial and investigation segments operate more smoothly than they ever have before.
The five cases occasionally take you backwards in time, allowing you to play as a younger version of Phoenix's mentor, Mia Fey, snappy prosecutor Miles Edgeworth, and, of course, Phoenix himself. It also introduces one of the more memorable characters in the series, coffee-swilling, Geordi La Forge visor-wearing, mystery prosecutor Godot. How he connects to Phoenix's crew is best left to you to figure out. You will be surprised, and you will enjoy the journey.
Too bad, then, that the game looks terrible on the Wii. Like the other Phoenix WiiWare ports, it's pixilated, ugly, and low-res to the point of distraction. It's nice that we don't have to pay extra for the final case, as with the Wii port of the first game, but considering the game's shoddy appearance and the loss of DS interactivity without any effort to make any Wii-friendly replacements (you know, besides waggle), this is far from the definitive version of the game and an insult to earnest fans.
This is a difficult game to score: how to rate a 3/10 interpretation of a 9/10 title? I'll leave you with a mediocre score and the following advice: Hop on eBay, find a used DS copy, and enjoy the game the way it was meant to be played; while, of course, having fun. By withholding your Wii Points, together we can tell Capcom that Phoenix and Phriends deserve better. My only caveat to this statement is if you're hard up for cash and have yet to experience the series. You'll save money by picking up the Wii version instead, but at the expense of quality and a worthwhile investment for your collection.
