BATON ROUGE, LA (WAFB) - LSU's first scrimmage of fall camp was naturally closed to the media, but head coach Les Miles did meet with the press afterwards and shared this information:
Miles described the scrimmage as a situational one, focusing on red zone and tight zone. He said it was roughly 65-70 plays, including special teams. Because the workout was moved indoors because of the weather, there was no punting. Miles said he enjoyed the work, but added it was sloppy with penalties.
Miles provided no stats from the scrimmage at the time of the press conference.
Miles says the first team defense "is very difficult to handle" and that senior quarterback Zach Mettenberger "ran into a defensive end or two."
Miles says Danielle Hunter and Jordan Allen were the first two defensive ends used. When asked about junior end Jermauria Rasco, who has worn a green jersey throughout camp, Miles said "We looked at him."
"What we can do is run the football and throw it with some understanding," Miles said of his offense.
Backup quarterback Anthony Jennings threw the ball 10 of the 16 snaps he was in, according to the coach.
Miles says wide receivers Jarvis Landry, Odell Beckham, Travin Dural and Kevin Spears stood out during the scrimmage.
Kenny Hilliard and Alfred Blue ran the ball well, according to the coach. Miles was a bit dismissive of running back Jeremy Hill, saying he "took some snaps", but didn't remember him getting many carries.
Miles added he had no update on Hill's playing status. "As soon as I have information there, I'll bring it forward as fast as I can." He then winked.
Miles also had no update on senior offensive guard Josh Williford, whose career may be over after another reported concussion.
6'3, 245 pound true freshman Melvin Jones from Washington-Marion high school is working predominantly at fullback.
Redshirt freshman linebacker Trey Granier has left the team. Granier apparently had an immediate desire to play, and that wasn't transpiring as he had hoped.
Junior Elliot Porter and true freshman Ethan Pocic continue to battle for the starting spot at center.
True freshman speed demon Jeryl Brazil worked at running back, defensive back, kick returner and punt returner.
LSU is ranked number 14 in the Sports Illustrated preseason top 25 poll released Wednesday. The Tigers are one of seven SEC teams in the top 25.

Proudly display this Axe and Log patch to show your Wood Badge loyalty. This is a great gift for your Wood Badgers or Gilwellians at reunions or to give to your patrol as a Thank You for the great memories.
The axe and log logo was conceived by the first Camp Chief, Francis Gidney, in the early 1920s to distinguish Gilwell Park from the Scout Headquarters. Gidney wanted to associate Gilwell Park with the outdoors and Scoutcraft rather than the business or administrative Headquarters offices. Scouters present at the original Wood Badge courses regularly saw axe blades masked for safety by being buried in a log. Seeing this, Gidney chose the axe and log as the totem of Gilwell Park.

What are the advantages of the GT over the Rambler, if there are any ?I'm "turtle slow " on the Rambler, about 6.5 mph. I am 69 years old , with diabetic legs. Most of my rides are 10-12 Miles, with my longest being 20 Miles this summer. Just wish I could have a faster average.

OLYMPIA, Ill. – The Florida State men's golf team finished third at the Olympia Fields/Illini Invitational on Tuesday with sophomore Daniel Berger tied for second. The team carded an 11-over 291 Tuesday to finished with a three round total of 29-over 869. The Garnet and Gold played at the Olympia Fields Country Club South Course against 13 other teams.
"The conditions out there were really tough today," said head coach Trey Jones. "We probably won't play a harder golf course under harder conditions than what we played today. It was a good experience for the guys, which is why we came out here. I was happy with how they responded to the conditions. The things we didn't do well we can work on, I think it was a step forward in the right direction."
Berger, a sophomore from Jupiter, Fla., concluded the tournament with an even par 70 to finish tied for second with a three day total of 2-over 212 where he finished with the fourth most birdies in the invitational (11). This is Berger's best finish since he finished third at the 2012 ACC Championship.
"Daniel finished 16th a week ago and runner-up this week," continued Jones. "In this sport, if you keep giving yourself a chance to win, you are doing really well. I'm proud of what he did and if he continues to do what he does, he'll get his wins."
Hank Lebioda (Winter Springs, Fla.) had his best tournament at Florida State by finishing in a tie for 17th with a three round 7-over 217. The freshman finished the tournament with three consecutive birdies from holes No. 9, 10 and 11 to finish the day with a 1-over 71.
"Hank gave us a chance to play really well the last two days," finished Jones. "He's leaning a lot and that's why we came out here so the team gets exposed and more open to learning what they need to do. If Hanks continues to learn and to be coachable, he's going to do nothing but get better. We always know the players have talent, but it's what they do with it that is better than having it."
Finishing third on the team was senior Chase Seiffert. The Panama City, Fla., native carded five birdies in the third round but faced trouble on hole No. 14 to finished the day with a 4-over 74. He finished the tournament tied at 23 with a 9-over 219 score.
Finishing the tournament tied at 46th was senior Doug Letson (Tampa, Fla.) who finished the tournament with a 17-over 227 while junior Bjorn Hellgren (Vasteras, Sweden) carded a 20-over 230 to finish in a tied for 60th.
The Seminoles were joined in the 14-team field with No. 2 SMU, No. 4 Florida, No. 13 Northwestern, No. 18 Illinois, No. 19 Clemson, No. 25 Indiana, Arkansas, Auburn, Augusta State, Duke, Oklahoma State, Purdue and Stanford.

Click here to print the obituary below
Sid Bernstein
NEW YORK (AP) — Sid Bernstein, the promoter who brought the Beatles to Carnegie Hall in New York City just as their fame exploded in the U.S., has died. He was 95.
Bernstein's daughter, Casey Deutsch, said her father died in his sleep Wednesday morning of natural causes.
Bernstein made the Beatles the first rock group to play at the classical Carnegie Hall and arranged their historic 1965 show at Shea Stadium, rock's first major stadium concert, which set box office records.
He also booked such top acts as Jimi Hendrix, Judy Garland and the Rolling Stones. He worked with Judy Garland, Duke Ellington and Ray Charles and promoted Dion, Bobby Darin and Chubby Checker.
Bernstein was an early backer of ABBA, setting up the Swedish group's first U.S. appearances.
He also was behind one of the first rock benefit shows, the 1970 "Winter Festival for Peace," and helped revive Tony Bennett's career with a 1962 show at Carnegie Hall.
Bernstein had a studious side that led to his biggest break. He took a course on Western civilization that required students to read a British newspaper once a week. It was 1963, and the Beatles were just catching on in their native country.
"So here I am reading little stories about this group from Liverpool that is causing a lot of 'hysteria.' By the end of the course, I was so Beatle-ized by what I read, even though I did not hear a note, I said, 'gotta get 'em.'" he explained in a 2001 interview with the music publication NY Rock Confidential.
As Bernstein recalled, he couldn't get his agency interested in the group, so he handled the job himself.
The Beatles were still unknown in the U.S. and the price was cheap — $6,500 for two shows.
The timing was perfect. By February 1964, Beatlemania had crossed over to the U.S., and the band was set to play on "The Ed Sullivan Show" just three days before the Carnegie concerts.
In 1965, he landed the group at Shea Stadium. Some 55,000 fans lost their voices and their minds. The New York Times described the scene as meeting the "classic Greek meaning of the word pandemonium — the region of all demons."
Like so many in the music business, Bernstein was the hustling son of Jewish immigrants. He sneaked into the Apollo Theater as a boy and, while studying journalism at Columbia University, ran a ballroom that featured such Latino stars as Morales, Tito Puente and Marcelino Guera.
Over the past 20 years, Bernstein's best client became himself. He wrote two memoirs, "It's Sid Bernstein Calling" and "Not Just the Beatles," and even recorded an album of duets.
At age 90, he started a Twitter account.
"Twitterland!" he called out in one post. "Let's all have a productive week. I have a few very interesting projects in the works and I'll reveal them very soon."
Bernstein and his wife, Geraldine, were married for more than 40 years. They had six children.

Failed to follow up phone enquiry for a fortnight despite prompting! I e-mailed an enquiry and had an intial acknowledgement from someone called Laura. I heard nothing more and after sending 2 e-mails in a fortnight, rang and had a helpful response and quick free delivery. I was ordering Fitlops but you can buy them more cheaply on several other web-sites, which is probably what I will do in the future.

Highlights from Portland, Oregon's 2012 Cheers to Belgian Beers
Portland's Cheers to Belgian Beers is both a competition and a beer showcase. Each year, the previous year's winner selects a yeast strain, and in the winter prior to the fest, brewers throw darts to determine which style of beer they will make using that yeast. This gives them just a few months to craft their beers for competition.
We love it. And you've voted. See which is the best American beer city.
Because of a tie in 2011, two yeasts were selected and the brewers could choose between them. The first, Wyeast 3864, is used by Unibroue in Quebec and known as Canadian/Belgian. The brewers' second option was Wyeast 3763, also known as Roeselare Blend, a lambic blend that produces fruity notes. What was ultimately produced and put on display this past weekend by Portland-area brewers ran the gamut from harsh-smelling concoctions more reminiscent of nail polish remover than beer, to complex, rich, Belgian-inspired masterpieces. A combination of adventurous creativity, resourcefulness, and traditional Belgophilic inspiration seemed to be the keys behind the festival's most successful beers.
Block 15's Hellion Strong Belgian Golden was a crowd favorite due to its surprising drinkability—at 12.5% ABV, you don't really expect such a refreshing beer. Brewer Nick Arzner (2010's fest winner) had initially intended to bottle-condition the beer, but pressure issues required it to be served from a keg. Regardless, the beer presented an amazing balance of tropical fruit from both its hop bill and the esters produced by the 3864 yeast strain. The alcohol was well-masked, and Arzner's artistry was surely on display through this well-crafted offering.
Breakside Brewery's entry, Heet Blonde distinguished itself from the many other golden Belgian ales at the fest through the use of some off-kilter ingredients. Brewer Ben Edmunds used chili peppers (a Breakside staple) and pineapple to enhance the fruity nature of the Unibroue yeast. Few brewers successfully captured the flavor of tropical fruit as well as Edmunds, and the judicious-yet-pronounced heat from the peppers rounded out the beer's unusual profile. The moderate alcohol content made this a great summer session beer, and it was the only beer that felt like an appropriate repeat pour.
Zwarte Nacht from Eugene's Oakshire Brewery offered something a bit darker. Billing itself as a Belgian black ale, the Nacht drank more like a nutty saison and benefitted from the dry nature of the Canadian yeast. The beer contained a healthy dose of orange peels, which brought a bright balance to the earthier, cocoa-tinged body. At 8.5%, this beer was an ideal end-of-fest sipper for enjoying while watching the sun set over the Willamette River.
Only three breweries submitted beers using the Roeselare yeast blend, which typically takes at least a full year of TLC to create a palatable beer. Since the brewers had less than five months to design their festival entries, only those who already had Roeselare beers working were able to enter sour ales using this finicky strain.
The most successful of the three came from a relatively small and new Portland brewery, The Commons. Their beer called Eleanor was presented as a mysterious golden sour brewed with "magic". It offered a layered sour side with hints of tart citrus and farmhouse funk. This beer, if left to mature, should evolve in to a world-class sour ale.
The festival itself is one of Portland's best. The beers on the list were primarily debuted at the event, and for the most part arrived with no pre-formed opinions, previous ratings, or prior stigma attached. For a jaded beer geek, Portland's Cheers to Belgian Beers offered a fresh buzz of excitement and the possibility that the next great undiscovered beer will be unearthed and later held high for the unattending masses to appreciate, like Simba in the Lion King. Though a few of the beers seemed rushed or underattenuated because of the competition's short time frame, the festival brought to light some great new beers that will hopefully find a place in their respective breweries' seasonal lineups.
Addendum: This year's People's Choice winner has been announced. Here is an excerpt from the Oregon Brewers Guild press release: "More than 679 ballots were cast, and fans selected Logsdon Organic Farmhouse Ales' Cerasus as the "People's Choice" champion. As the winner of the 2012 competition, Logsdon Organic Farmhouse Ales has earned the right to select the yeast strain for next year's event. This is the second time Logsdon Organic Farmhouse Ales has tasted "People's Choice" victory; the brewery also took home the coveted prize at the 2011 festival. Other top voter favorites were Block 15 Brewing Company, Occidental Brewing Co., Cascade Brewing Barrel House, The Commons Brewery, Breakside Brewery and Double Mountain Brewery."

New!! National Bar Institute African-American Law Student Fellowships
Application Deadline: May 15 , 2008
The National Bar Institute (NBI) was established in 1982 as the philanthropic arm of the National Bar Association (NBA). The African American Law Student Fellowship Program, a project of the Institute, was developed to assist students who are completing professional law degrees, a field where African American participation has traditionally been low. As more African Americans have successfully entered the legal profession and their contributions have gained wider recognition, the National Bar Institute has recognized the need to support law students in public interest areas, or in those specialties deemed critical where African Americans remain underrepresented within the legal profession. The fellowships are financed largely by NBA individual members, sections, regions, divisions, affiliates and augmented by corporations and foundations that value scholarship and believe in the potential of African-American lawyers. Applications are reviewed by an NBI panel. For details regarding eligibility and selection criteria and to download an application form, click here.

Roger Cox, president of Bond Tech, Inc. met with the finance committee last week to explain what the company could do to help the city. Amherst treasurer, Kathleen Litkovitz, told the committee that she had been working with Bond-Tech for about a year and the need for expertise had become apparent to her. The city needs to make sure that funds stay liquid so the city has access to its money at all times. At this point the funds are not earning what they could, according to Litkovitz. According to documents submitted by the treasurer to council, the city was earning 6.4S percent interest in January, 2001. The city earned $82,642 that month. In January, 2002 the city was earning 2.02 percent interest with an interest income of only $28359. In April the interest had declined to 1.92 percent Litkovitz said the interest rate declined sharply after the attacks on the Pentagon and the World Trade Center on Sept 11. The chart created by her office showed that interest rates had declined, but stabilized before the bombings. The city's general fund depends heavily on the investment income generated by the investing part of the fund not needed for immediate expenses. In 1999 the city earned $835,126. The city's year-long interest income topped out in 2000 with $988,883 and declined to $696,807 in 2001. City auditor, Diane Eswine, told council previously that the city needed to find other ways to bring revenue into the general fund. She suggested charging more for services that the city provides that do not benefit the city as a whole, such as opening gravesites. The city does not charge residents what it costs to open gravesites and therefore loses money when it provides the service. Cox said that although it is against the law to guarantee a return on investments, Bond- Tech would sign a contract with the city that would include a predetermined minimum interest perhaps based on the interest being generated by Star- Ohio, the fund the city invests in now. He said if there is a lack of satisfaction on the part of the city, the city can decline to continue its contract with the company, giving a 30-day notice. The company would provide the city with documentation of all of its investments and the city could then make its own investment choices. The company's president also told council that the company would waive its fees if the city's return is lower than the agreed on benchmark. Litkovitz told council that the city has $17 million available in the fund, but she would only invest $5 million with Bond- Tech. "Just to get our feet wet" she told council, "see how successful we are." Council agreed that the city would need to upgrade its investment policy in conjunction with engaging the services of Bond-Tech. 2nd suspect arrested 'n daylight breakin manhunt The second man police suspect in string of daylight robberies around ie county last month was arraigned riday in Oberlin Municipal Court Police suspect that Hector Rivera i the suspect who eluded them dur- ig a day-long man-hunt that took fftcers from five departments all trough Amherst and resulted in the rrest of Jose Ortiz. Ortiz's case has een bound over to the grand jury nd he is being held in the Lorain !ounty Jail on a $500,000 bond. Rivera was only charged with one ount of burglary, but police suspect e may be involved in at least nine old daylight burglaries with Ortiz. Sgt Dan Jasinski and Lt Joe Ku- irek picked up 21-year-old Rivera fter being notified that he'd been pprehended and taken into custody y Cleveland police. Rivera allegedly escaped police i a stolen Ford Contour after a resi dent called police that two suspicious men were knocking on his door. The resident said he didn't recognize the men who claimed to be looking for a man the resident had never heard of. Ortiz was captured by Ihe Lorain County Sheriff's department with the help of an Amherst Township resident after eluding the police on foot for several hours. Police found items that had been stolen from one of the houses that the two men are suspected of burglarizing at Park and Pawn on Ndrth Ridge Road. The items had been pawned using Rivera's identification. A Chicago man was also arrested in Michigan last month while driving a car that was allegedly stolen by Rivera and Ortiz in Lorain County on May 9.

Those were encouraging words the girl took to heart For 32 years she was the one encouraging children in the classroom and on the playing field. She started teaching at South Amherst Elementary School in 1971. immediately after graduating from Ashland College. The South Amherst school district would not merge with the Firelands School District for another 17 -rears. 1 always wanted to be a teacher,'' she said.

Her father was on the original board that created the Firelands School District A representative from each community that would form the district was chosen to sit on the board. South Amherst was not part of the original district Immler's father represented Kipton, where the fam ily lived. "A member from each community formed a committee to find a location for the new school,'* Immler said. The committee chose the location of Firelands High School because of its central location for all the communities it would be serving. When she was pregnant with Wes, Immler found herself in a position she never expected, nor could anyone else have expected. She coached the varsity baseball team to victory in the Inland Conference Championships, the first championship South Ainherst had received in any sport Remember, she was the cheerleading coach, not the boys varsity baseball coach. Immler was the only South Amherst faculty member in the stands watching the boys play for the championships. South Amherst was behind, but holding on, when Bill Immler was thrown out of the game. The team would have to forfeit the game unless another member of the faculty would step up and coach the team. Only Immler sat in the stands, seven months pregnant with her first child. Immler decided to rise to the occasion. "The team rallied and won the game!" Immler recounted and laughed. "All the men that coached the team, it was the team with the woman that won it!" "There have been so many families we've been close to. Even kids we've gotten close to," Immler said. This year she had a little girl whose parents were both students of Immlers. "When you worked with a child, you worked with the whole family. They were very supportive.'' Immler said of the small district Immler said she doesn't have much planned for her immediate future — just to be a wife and mother. Down the road, though, after Wes has graduated, she said she would like to help student teachers.

Bryan Clauson, a popular driver considered by many to be the top dirt-track racer in the country, died Sunday night from injuries suffered in a crash during a race in Kansas. He was 27.
His death was announced Monday at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
"This is truly one of the darkest days in the 60-year history of the United States Auto Club. Not only have we lost one of our greatest USAC champions, we've lost a true ambassador for all motorsports," USAC president and CEO Kevin Miller said.
Clauson was leading Saturday night's race at the Belleville (Kansas) Midget Nationals — which Miller called "one of the most prestigious races on our challenging...

Sign Up for Our Monthly Hawaii Newsletter
I accept the T&C and Privacy Policy.
On a recent travel agent fam to Oahu, Michael Hennes of AskAboutTravel.com in San Diego was captivated by Hawaii's Plantation Village. Restored buildings and replicas tell tales of the island's sugar plantation life from 1850-1950.
"I was amazed by how various ethnic groups were brought to Hawaii and how they lived and worked," said Hennes. "This is a perfect attraction for clients who want to step back in time and see what life was like for early settlers in Hawaii."
Such is the allure of Oahu's museums, which often reach beyond the traditional gallery format to offer vibrant examples of what makes Hawaii special. Clients who spend time at the island's museums can delve into the fascinating history and culture of the destination.
"Oahu is home to some of Hawaii's largest and most extensive museums and collections featuring art, artifacts and heirlooms from Hawaii and the Pacific," said Oahu Visitors Bureau's director of travel industry sales Stacey Martin Alford. "Travel agents can add significant value to their clients' itineraries by telling them about the richness of these gems."
Martin Alford noted that Oahu's visitors might even discover exhibits they didn't expect to find in Hawaii.
"For example, Shangri La, the 1937 Honolulu estate of tobacco heiress Doris Duke, houses an impressive collection of Islamic art," she said. "And Spalding House is the only museum in Hawaii devoted exclusively to contemporary artwork."
Along with Hennes, Marilyn Clark of Lighthouse Travel in Huntington Beach, Calif., took part in OVB's cultural heritage fam. While Clark has visited exhibits in many other destinations, she praised Oahu's museums for their staff.
"Our museum guides took enormous pride in their culture and heritage," said Clark. "Their willingness to 'talk story' and their respect for their ancestors made it a very unique experience."
A case in point was Queen Emma Summer Palace, a cool upcountry oasis for the 19th-century monarch and her family.
"What made the palace tour really special was the docent who led it," Clark recalled. "She carefully explained each room's contents, talking about the history of the house and the people who lived there. I felt like I was back in that era experiencing it all first-hand."
For Tracey Gilbert of Cruise Holidays in Woodinville, Wash., the Honolulu Museum of Art was a fam trip standout.
"Honolulu Museum of Art presents a wonderful contrast to busy Waikiki and a nice break from the beach," said Gilbert. "It has a terrific Hawaiian art collection, taking visitors well beyond the touristy Polynesian art seen in some souvenir shops."
Also on the fam trip was Brian Harris of Destination Site Selection in Aspen, Colo. Harris was particularly inspired by downtown Honolulu's Iolani Palace, the only official state residence of royalty in the U.S.
"Touring Iolani Palace shows you how it would feel to rule a kingdom," he said. "As you put on protective booties to preserve the floors, you know the tour is going to be special even before it begins. When you go into the king's bedroom, you can imagine what it would be like to wake up as your window shutters are opened and your praises are gloriously sung."
Oahu visitors can find additional treasures at the Army Museum, Bishop Museum, Hawaii State Art Museum, Japanese Cultural Museum, Mission Houses Museum and the Pacific Aviation Museum.
Agents on the fam agreed that Oahu's museums gave them a deeper appreciation for the island than beaches and mai tais could provide.
"I strongly recommend visiting a museum for anyone going to Oahu, especially early on in their trip or during their first visit to the islands," said Harris. "Their experiences will have greater meaning and they will want to go back again and again."
Clark concurred, encouraging not only clients but travel agents to visit Oahu's museums.
"Cultural and heritage tourism are rapidly growing markets, and it is much easier to sell what you know," she said.

I don't know why, but I'd love to see her insert the double header, then stop and walk around with it in there for a couple of minutes before expelling it
The background track is awesome
That's a goddamn colonoscopy
I I just want too fuck both of them and they can share my cum lol.. I found her on
my bf can do it..
Incredible!!! Great show!!!
I can dO that tOO! It does not hurt...only the first time...
Wow! Man, I couldn't believe that at first. I had to watch it again :-)
anyone know the name of the track in the background?
seems like "do not try this at home" should be a caption
really incredible i like her going
So beautiful! So deep!
that was incredible im sure she would be a blast in bed no complaining slow down it hurts im sure just fun and sexy would love to make her cum
I have that same dildo and I've shoved it all the way up my ass. She is a lot hotter than me though!! After all I am a guy
We have that same toy, so I know how hard that must be!!!
One of the best parts about this video...is the music.
She sounds like a girlfriend of mine when i fucked her
Remember people that there's a pathway right from our mouth to our anus. Of course it's possible. The reason it doesn't hurt her to push it in so deep is because we only have nerve endings in our anus.. we don't have them in our colon and so when she's pushing it into her colon she can't feel the damage it's causing her.
how is that even possible?
How old is this girl? She looks like she's barely 18... Anyway, she's fantastic! Beatiful, sexy, cute, seems to love anal... I hope the guy who get's her/already has her appreciates her, she deserves only the best!!
So many people gasp and comment negatively, but until you try it, you don't know what you're missing. Keep it up Diamond and set the example!
Damn. That was deep AF.
i have sommething a lot longer to put in her ass
Doubt it. You must just own a longer dildo.
I want her to put a fish in that asshole And don't get it out
She could handle my 10" cock balls deep in her ass no problem.

Manchester chief defends department's use of police-issued cell phones for personal callsBy DOUG ALDEN
New Hampshire Union Leader
July 16. 2013 10:29PM
MANCHESTER - Manchester Police Chief David Mara and Assistant Chief Nick Willard explained to a city committee the regulations applying to officers using city-issued cellphones for personal calls, responding to an aldermanic inquiry on how much the city is reimbursed for such calls.
Mara and Willard faced only a handful of questions from members of the Information Systems Committee on Tuesday while reviewing a report from an assistant city solicitor sent to the committee members last week.
"We feel we really don't have an issue and there is no abuse," Mara said. "If we find anything — if we find any misuse or it's brought to our attention, we certainly will take action." The issue arose during a trial of a Manchester police officer acquitted in May of assaulting his estranged wife. He testified about making private calls to women on his police-issued cell phone.
Willard said community officers that are issued phones pay nine cents per minute for personal calls that cost the department five cents per minute under its current cell plan.
"So if they make a personal phone call, they're actually paying four cents a minute and that's to offset some of the records costs," Willard said.
Reimbursement totals over the last three years top $4,000, with the final tallies for fiscal 2013 still to come.
Mara said it is in the city's best interest to issue officers phones instead of expecting them to carry one phone for work and another for personal use.
Mara and Willard were asked about requiring officers to answer all calls to the city phones, which Mara said would lead to collective bargaining issues with the police union. Off-duty officers are required to answer only while on-duty, then check voice mails they received between shifts when they are back on the clock. Forcing them to answer all calls — even when off the clock — would lead to heavy overtime expenses. Willard said.
Alderman Phil Greazzo, who chairs the committee, thanked Mara and Willard for their time before wrapping up the discussion.
"This is just for informational purposes so we don't need to take any action on that," Greazzo said.

Alex Morgan, America's Hottest Soccer Star, Will Keep You Warm This World Cup [VIDEO]
In case you just found the Internet and this is the very first webpage you've ever read, you might not know that the World Cup is going on right now. (U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A!) So with soccer at the front of our minds these days, it seems like the perfect opportunity to spend a little time with United States Women's National Team superstar Alex Morgan.
Alex isn't just a spectacular player. She does some part-time swimsuit modeling for Sports Illustrated—sometimes wearing bikinis (see above), sometimes nothing but a bit of paint (see below).
The 24-year-old stunner also maintains a high-quality social media presence. You can follow her on Instagram and Twitter. You know, for love of country.
And here's the video of her body-painting session from 2012:
And now for the grand finale:

CARSON, Calif. – The LA Galaxy battled to a 2-2 draw with cross-hall rivals Chivas USA in a preseason scrimmage on Wednesday.
The Galaxy were dominant in the first half and needed just five minutes to pull ahead when Rob Friend finished a side-footed volley off a Juninho free kick. The Brazilian midfielder scored a goal of his own in the 20th minute after finishing a brilliant strike from beyond 25-yards that curled past the Chivas USA goalkeeper.
However, in the second half, Chivas USA was able to capitalize on a Galaxy lineup that went through a near complete change at the half and was totally different 10 minutes into the second stanza. Chivas leveled the score in the 72nd minute with a finish by Jacob Barron before equalizing less than 10 minutes later after Matthew Fondy buried a header past Brian Perk.
The result may not have been ideal, but Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena affirmed that it was simply part of the process of getting the team ready for their MLS season opener which is a little more than a month away.
"It was just another day of practice in all honesty. It was about getting guys in a full field situation," said Arena. "The group we played in the first half did a good job of pressuring and creating some chances while the group in the second half was definitely outplayed and it was a sloppy performance."
LA Galaxy Starting XI First Half: Penedo; Hall, DeLaGarza, Opare, Cochrane; Ishizaki, Husidic, Juninho, Zardes; Friend, Samuel
LA Galaxy Starting XI Second Half: Perk; Sorto, Leonardo, Venter, Gaul; Jamieson IV, Sarvas, Garcia, Hoffman; Rugg, McBean
LA Galaxy XI at the Final Whistle: Perk; Sorto, Leonardo, Venter, Gaul; Mendiola, Sarvas, Garcia, Hoffman; Rugg, McBean

Today I have the second half of my 2012 favorites, these are all from indies or niche brands that are made in a lab but I still consider them indie. 2012 has pretty much been the year of the indie, last year at this time I think I had heard of maybe 3 indie brands...Hare, Dollish Polish and Girly Bits. It's pretty amazing how the market has exploded...there are hundreds of brands to choose from.
I wish I could say that I've tried something from every brand but I haven't...most of my favorites are from the well known indie brands. A few months ago I had a very bad experience with a couple sellers and it pretty much turned me off all indies with the exception of a few brands for a while. I've started dipping my toes back in the indie waters so hopefully there will be a greater variety next year in terms of brands I buy and show on here.
I'd love to hear what your indie favorites were for 2012 in the comments!
To see all my picks click the read more button below.
I am including a link to where I have posted each of these previously, where to buy will be at the bottom of the post.
Alta Costura Vernis Electric Eyes. I'm still obsessed with this interesting combo of glitter, this isn't everyone's cup of tea but it's most definitely mine!
Cirque Au. There were a lot of gold leaf top coats that came out at the end of 2012 but this was by far my favorite of all of them!
Cirque XX. This is my favorite multi colored glitter bomb, it's unique in my collection of crazy multi colored glitters and I love it! If you like multi colored glitters this is one you won't regret adding to your stash.
Contrary Polish Anna Maria. I haven't actually posted this one yet, I'll be posting it soon though! Contrary Polish was a brand I had been wanting to try because they focus on interesting shimmers and I LOVE polishes like that. I finally bought a few...I'm totally blown away by the gorgeous shimmer in this!
Dollish Polish Dino-mite Yoshi. If I could have included the entire Super Mario Brothers collection from Dollish Polish on this list I would have...Dolly knocked it out of the park with that collection. This polish is my favorite from it and I'm still in love. It's just perfection.
Dollish Polish Toxic Avenger. I actually feel bad including this because I know a lot of people want it and Dolly doesn't make it anymore. This is probably my favorite indie polish of all time so it felt wrong to not have it on this list.
Girly Bits Cu Blue. Navy blue jelly with copper shimmer....need I say more? This is much better in real life!
Lac Attack Bad Moon Rising. I've been fairly obsessed with matte glitter thanks to indies. I really love this combo, it's unusual but it works perfectly together.
Lac Attack Weasley's Wizard Wheezes. It was hard to pick only 1 polish from the Magical Musings Collection Lac Attack recently released...I really loved most of them! This one is my favorite of the collection!
Nail Pattern Boldness Boop-Oop-A-Dupe. This is another polish I've yet to post on it's own because I lagged on buying and swatching it! This is a dupe of Clarins 230, there are several other dupes out there also (I own a few of them). I will never stop loving this multichromatic shimmer, I don't care how many dupes I own of it, it will always be on my favorites list in some form.
Ninja Polish Sapphire Dreams. This blue shimmer is just beautiful, I love the shade and the depth of the shimmer.
piCture pOlish Kryptonite. piCture pOlish has churned out some seriously awesome polishes this year, I had quite a few on my list before I narrowed it down. Kryptonite is my favorite of everything they've done this year....the shade of green with that holo sparkle is something I can't deny.
Nail Venturous Pinkerbell. Oh man, Nail Venturous...the indie that made me loathe buying indies. I say that because every time Amy restocked everything sold out in like 5 seconds which left me having heart palpitations and rage swearing at my computer (I'm sure most of you can relate right?). Unfortunately I was never able to get 95% of the polishes I wanted from this brand because she stopped making polish but Ninja Polish started selling quite a few of her creations, this being one of them. Pinkerbell is another bottle of matte glitter perfection! Apparently I've never posted a manicure with Pinkerbell on every nail so below is when I used it as an accent nail!
Pretty & Polished Sand Art. Another matte glitter, I told you I was obsessed! I need all the matte glitters in my life!
Whimsical Ideas by Pam Once Upon A Time. This is one of my overall favorite indie brands of the year...it was hard to narrow down my list to only a couple of Pam's polishes. I love pretty much everything she does, I think Pam has a great eye for color and the glitter combos she does are always lovely. I like Once Upon A Time because it's so soft and dainty looking, it also looks good over everything!
Whimsical Ideas by Pam Wicked. This one is on my list because it's still blowing my mind with that black circular glitter. Not only that but the rest of the glitter along with the gorgeous shimmer in this make it something special.

appeals court, galaxy tab, injunction, lucy koh, patents
There continues to be a flurry of activity and motions and such around the Apple/Samsung patent fight, and we're avoiding most of the play-by-play until something "big" happens. But today there was an interesting ruling from the appeals court, concerning the original injunction that Judge Lucy Koh issued, blocking Samsung from selling the Galaxy Tab 10.1 device (which is already a bit obsolete anyway). She had issued that injunction earlier in the case, before the jury ruled, and that actually has presented something of a problem. Among the patents that the jury said Samsung did not infringe was the one that Koh relied on to issue her injunction. Given that, the appeals court has sent the injunction back to Koh to reconsider. Of course, all this really reinforces is the ridiculousness of the patent system today: a judge can assume that an entire product line can be blocked because it's infringing on a particular patent... only to have a jury (which in this case clearly mostly sided with Apple anyway) decide that the patent didn't apply. When a system comes up with such arbitrary results, it's a sign that the system itself is broken.

Re: Wow....Just as important as nuclear bombs? I beg to differ. Whatever the impact of this patent war, it's unlikely to result in thousands of deaths and cases of radiation poisoning.
Anonymous Coward, 28 Sep 2012 @ 3:31pm
Re: Re: Wow....I agree.
The important thing about patent wars is that money can be made off suing people. Just like copyright.
That's why copyright and patent laws never demand the death penalty. Dead people can't pay up.
You should be ashamed of yourself for alluding that something as paltry as nuclear bombs could measure up to the glory and magnificence of copyright law.

Anonymous Coward, 28 Sep 2012 @ 12:08pmstrange how the US is just about the only place that Apple is winning these ridiculous patent suits. considering how, yet again Apple has infringed on another's patent (the clock app), isn't it about time it stopped all this suing bull shit and just went out into the market and competed with other companies regardless of which ones? i still reckon the only reason it stopped Samsung in the US when it did was to try to give itself no competition when the iphone5 came out. if i wanted a Samsung, i would've bought a Samsung. if i had wanted an iphone, i would've bought an iphone. taking away my right of choice for such selfish reasons and fear of another product selling more, because it's better, wont change my mind. i would wait and get what i wanted when i could. and look at all the problems, as usual, with the new Apple product. released too early, as usual, and still not tested fully so still riddled with bugs that the customer has to put up with until Apple decide to rectify them
John Fenderson (profile), 28 Sep 2012 @ 2:04pm
Apple has infringed on another's patent (the clock app)
I believe that was a trademark case, not patent.
Anonymous Coward, 28 Sep 2012 @ 12:13pmwhat's broken is that it _still_ can't be sold, even though it should've been automatically on the shelves with the jury's decision, and should be automatically on the shelves following this decision.
Anonymous Coward, 28 Sep 2012 @ 12:15pmSo, Koh just has to pick another one. It doesn't matter which patent, so long as she earns that brown envelope....
Anonymous Coward, 28 Sep 2012 @ 1:07pmThe injunction rules need to be changed so this doesn't happen.
Make it so you can get an injunction for an alleged patent violation like now, but if the person is found not guilty of that violation then YOU have to pay them massive damages/fines (equivalent to the damages you would have won if you had succeeded in court) for the harm & lost sales you inflicted on them with a bogus injunction.
If a patent troll isn't willing to put their money where their mouth is then they shouldn't be asking for injunctions before a court has ruled on if the patent was even violated.

I agree with you when it comes to Apple here...unfortunately for Samsung, they kinda had this whole thing foisted upon them. They didn't sue Apple until after Apple sued them (Counter-suit.) I am sure Samsung would be much happier not being in the game and just out making phones.
To help you out, here is a dated infographic of whom is suing whom. This is from a PC MAG Article in January 2012, but it is still mostly true.

Just Say NoYup, it's time to get rid of the patent system.
Patents are a privilege, not a Right. Patents exist to encourage innovation. Clearly, they are not. It's time to get rid of them.
Intellectual property is an oxymoron. Ideas belong to the commons. The law even says so. Patents are a violation of this. But they were suppose to make things better despite the violation of the peoples' Right to ideas. They do not. It's time to get rid of them.

Pay up Apple!Didn't Apple pay a $2.6 million bond on that injunction? Sounds like it should be forfeit.
That One Guy (profile), 28 Sep 2012 @ 5:05pm
Re: Pay up Apple!2.6 million to keep an entire product line from hitting the shelves long enough for it to be obsolete? Sounds like a steal for Apple to me. Replace 'million' with 'billion', or add a few zeros to that number, and then they might actually care.
Watchit (profile), 28 Sep 2012 @ 4:19pmAnd then, by the time all of this is settled and they realize barring Samsung from selling their wares because it's corners were "too" rounded, the Galaxy Tab 10.1 will have more use as a paper weight when compared to current models. *sigh*
Anonymous Coward, 28 Sep 2012 @ 8:08pm
Correct, almostIf my remaining grey cells don't deceive me, I think that you will find that Judge Koh didn't actually issue the injunction, which Apple had requested. IIRC, CAFC issued the injunction at Apple's behest, hence Koh's inability to reverse (since she didn't have jurisdiction).

The ruling was handed down today by judge Lucy Koh for the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, according to a Reuters report."

Apple and Samsung's costs have just gone up, but Samsung may end up winning is a new trial does occur.

Just that evening she'd had a wonderful time walking in the Nov. 20 Fargo Holiday Lights Parade. Dressed as an elf, she handed out candy with other employees from Bell State Bank & Trust.
"We'd already walked a mile, no problem. Suddenly I got dizzy," she says. "The lights blurred and down I went. That's the last thing I remember until the ambulance."
Bystanders who happened to be nurses responded immediately. They started CPR while a police officer ran for an automated external defibrillator to jumpstart her heart.
"A heart attack was the last thing on my mind but it shouldn't have been," Roxanne says. "My dad had his first one at 48 and my son had one at 38. When I got to my 60's I thought 'oh good, it skipped a generation."
An angiogram showed Roxanne had two blocked coronary arteries. Both required stents. Two days later she went home. That's when she thought back to possible warning signs.
"Just three days before the parade I'd been dancing and was completely out of breath," she says. "I figured I was out of shape and needed to lose weight."
Months earlier she'd worked at We Fest music festival. By the end of her shift she was so exhausted she could barely reach her car.
The whole past year she'd experienced unusual tiredness while walking laps at the mall.
"But never any chest pain," she says, shaking her head.
Not all heart attacks include chest pain, as Sanford cardiologist Dr. Heeraimangalore Manjunath explains.
"Heart attacks can present in a very atypical manner, particularly in women," he says. "Shortness of breath may be an early indicator of coronary artery blockages."
Other less-common symptoms include lightheadedness and non specific aches and pains in chest and back.
"It's important to get these symptoms checked out, particularly if you're a woman with risk factors," says Dr. Manjunath.
Risk factors include:
Within days, Roxanne attended Sanford's outpatient Cardiac Rehab Program.
In addition to ensuring safe exercise, they teach important lessons on healthy eating, daily cholesterol and blood pressure medication, stress management and more.
"I've never smoked and I don't drink, but I love beef," says Roxanne. "Now I just eat it once a week."
Cardiac Rehab manager Holly Boub emphasizes an individualized, positive approach. "We help people make changes that fit their lives," she says. "A heart-healthy life is not a prison sentence. Life can still be very enjoyable."

Roxanne's heart attack woke her up to the importance of paying attention to her heart.
"I'm a little more scared now. If I had a symptom, I would absolutely go in and get it checked," she says, surrounded by her children and grandchildren. "I'm so grateful for the help I received. So glad God gave me a second chance."If it's been a while since you've had a heart checkup, see your primary care doctor.
