The U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration is requiring local governments to evaluate their bridges for new load ratings by Dec. 2017, to ensure that the structures can handle modern vehicles that are designed to haul heavier loads. Thurston County Public Works is about a third of the way through checking those [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/michaelkorssonline.php]Michael Kors uk[/url] weight limits on the 119 roadway bridges in its inventory, according to civil engineer Matt Unzelman.However, the county is going to hire an outside firm to do some of the inspections. The Board of County Commissioners voted 3-0 to hire Exeltech Consulting Inc. of Lacey to conduct that work on 10 structures, ranging from the Old Highway 101 Bridge to the Mud Bay Bridge. Some of our more structurally complex bridges are included with these 10 bridges, Unzelman told The Olympian. We just need a different level of expertise. The ratings will determine if the county needs to add a weight limits to some of its structures, he said.County manager Cliff Moore described the work as routine, but said it s an important long-term process for the county. Like most jurisdictions in the nation, we are trying to keep on this issue, he said. The money will come from the county s road fund, and will include the following structures. (Size and inspection information was listed in the county s 2014 Bridge Index.) James Road Bridge (culvert), known as J-1, which goes over an overflow channel, was built in 1985. The 25-foot-long structure was given a 98.19 sufficiency rating during an Aug. 8, 2012, inspection. Littlerock Road Bridge, known as L-5, which goes over a ditch, was built in 1960. The 20-foot-long bridge was given a 49.66 rating during a Nov. [url=http://www.symbiose.ca/images/christianlouboutin.gwij.php]Christian Louboutin Outlet[/url] 21, 2013 inspection. Crews made some emergency repairs on the bridge this spring for scour and cracking. It is just down the road and the same design as the L-4 Bridge which is undergoing a complete replacement due to structural deficiencies. Mud Bay Bridge, known as O-4, which goes over Mud Bay, was built in 1978. The 208-foot-long bridge was given a sufficiency rating of 77.02 during a Sept. 27, 2012 inspection. Old Highway 101 Bridge, known as O-3 which goes over Perry Creek, was built in 1958.The 105-foot-long bridge was given a sufficiency rating of 80.31 during a Sept. 14, 2012 inspection. Oyster Bay Culvert, known as OB-1, which goes over Schneider Creek, was built in 2010. The 20-foot-long bridge was given a sufficiency rating of 85.8 during a June 12, 2012, inspection. Steamboat Island Bridge, known as S-7, which goes over Totten Inlet, was built in 1982. [url=http://www.symbiose.ca/images/christianlouboutin.gwij.php]Christian Louboutin Outlet[/url] The 706-foot-long structure was given a sufficiency rating of 68.73 during a Sept. 14, 2012, inspection. Holmes Island Bridge, known as H-3, which goes over Long Lake and was built in 1962. The 53-foot-long bridge, and was given a sufficiency rating of 54.26 during an Aug. 7, 2013 inspection. Nisqually Cutoff Bridge, known as N-1, which goes over an overflow channel, was built in 1936. The 92-foot-long structure was given a 74.48 sufficiency rating during an Oct. 4, 2012 inspection. Old Pacific Highway Bridge, known as O-11, which goes over the Nisqually River was built in 1998. The 320-foot long structure was given a sufficiency rating of 95.38 during a Sept. 12, 2012 inspection. Reservation Road Railroad Bridge, known as R-1, goes over a railroad and was built in 1993. The 331-foot-long bridge was given a sufficiency rating of 94.49 during an Aug. 9, 2013 inspection.

I鈥檓 as a 鈥渇ast food in moderation鈥?guy. I think it鈥檚 irresponsible for parents to make Burger King or Popeye鈥檚 a daily part of their children鈥檚 diet. But I think it鈥檚 a ridiculous reaction for county supervisors to regulate the sale of Happy Meal toys. Legislators should work on educating the public, not doing the parenting for them.
With that said, I still think it鈥檚 shocking to see how much fast food drink cups have increased in size over the past 40 years. The cups in 1973 look like shot glasses compared to the two-fisted monstrosities being sold in 2014.
This is a core argument by the crowd that is supporting the current proposed soda taxes聽聽and Berkeley; that big corporations have super-sized empty calorie beverages to extremely unhealthy proportions. Last year, for a different and , I found the San Francisco Chronicle鈥檚 earliest photos of fast food restaurants in the Bay Area. They were taken in Mill Valley and San Anselmo in 1973, when Taco Bell, Jack in the Box and McDonald鈥檚 were making their first huge surge into the suburbs. Last weekend,聽I decided to venture out with my own kids and take a few 鈥渘ow鈥?photos.
I included every 1973 Chronicle fast food photo where the drinks can be clearly seen; I didn鈥檛 selectively pick images where the drinks looked small. Then I went to the three Alameda restaurants from the same chains with my kids, and made [url=http://www.museosangennaro.com/Public/wdluk.php]Cheap Christian Louboutin[/url] the following request to the cashiers at each one: 鈥淧lease give me exactly one drink in every size sold by this establishment.鈥?
The results are in the slideshow, above. A few more thoughts after this Jack in the Box photo 鈥?
Taco Bell drink cups in 1973, 2014.
* I brought the empty cups home and used a measuring cup to check the volume. The 2014 cups from three restaurants ranged between 12 ounces and 40 ounces. Jack in the Box鈥檚 cups ranged between 20 ounces to 40 ounces. (Based on the photos, I鈥檇 estimate the 1973 cups ranged between 8 ounces and 16 ounces.)
* After the size of the drinks, the second thing I noticed was how fit the people looked in the 1973 fast food photos. Even the ones that are clearly stoned and listening to 鈥淟ed Zeppelin III鈥?look like they could run an 8 minute mile. Understatement of the day: If you walked randomly into a McDonald鈥檚, Jack in the Box and Taco Bell in 2014, the people would not look as universally healthy as they did in 1973.
* I sprung this fast food excursion on my kids, who seemed suspicious. I take them to fast food maybe once every five or six weeks, and then only after they鈥檝e done something exceptional. Three in a day seemed unfathomable. Note to CPS: I did not allow them to drink 120 ounces of soda each. The smallest drinks were filled 1/3 of the way with root beer, except for McDonald鈥檚, where we filled only the smallest drink and shared it.
(Photo: Stephanie Maze/The Chronicle 1973)
* When I looked at the fast food menu prices in 1973 and 2014, the economic motivation for a drastic increase [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/gucciusaonlineoutlet.php]gucci outlet[/url] in drink size started to make more sense. Most drinks in 1973 cost 15 or 20 cents. In 2014, they cost about 10 times that much. Meanwhile, other menu items (cheeseburgers, tacos, etc.) have remained about the same size, and increased in cost by closer to three times. I know from working in food service that drinks have a very high profit margin. Creating a market with larger drinks (and larger corresponding prices) makes business sense, even if it comes at the expense of a healthy customer base.
* McDonald鈥檚 was the only restaurant of the three where the cashier offered us a 鈥渒id size鈥?drink. (Which at 12 ounces looked about as big as most adult-size containers in 1973, but was still by far the smallest cup that we received.) The cashier also asked if I wanted milk as an option for the kids. If other chains had a smaller size cup than the ones displayed [url=http://www.museosangennaro.com/Public/wdluk.php]Cheap Christian Louboutin[/url] in the photos, they didn鈥檛 think to offer it to me.
Which brings us to 鈥?
(Photo: Stephanie Maze/The Chronicle 1973)
* I do not weep for the people who run McDonald鈥檚, and probably never will. But that restaurant chain shoulders an unbalanced brunt of the ire directed at the fast food industry. Of the five biggest fast food chains in the Bay Area, McDonald鈥檚 has by far developed the healthiest options in recent years for their kid and adult meals. (McDonald鈥檚 was also the only place I visited that had a composting option for our trash.)
And yet McDonald鈥檚 remain the poster child for unhealthy eating, while KFC and Jack in the Box sort of slink by quietly the in background, seemingly in an arms race to develop . McDonald鈥檚 may have the biggest historic role in the super-sizing of America. But the chain is no longer the worst.
One final note: A huge shout-out to former Chronicle photographer Stephanie Maze, whose tenure at the paper in the 1970s was shorter than some others, but she made her mark nonetheless. She always went the extra mile on otherwise routine assignments. (Her photos of the 1977 KISS concert at the Cow Palace .)
Stephanie went on to work for National Geographic, and published a series of books for young readers.

HOUSTON (September 9, 2014) Jacob Lee Bryant, 27, was charged with theft and credit card abuse after credit cards and cellphones were stolen from cheerleaders at the University of Houston’s new stadium, university police Lt. Bret Collier [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Belts-Sale-Stores-Designer-Handbags-Duffle.html]Gucci Stores[/url] said.
The thefts occurred on Aug. 28, a day before the university鈥檚 first game at the [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Handbags-Outlet-Used-Bags-Totes-Sale-Shoes.html]Gucci Sale Shoes[/url] new TDECU Stadium.
Bryant was working for an Aramark subcontractor.
The cellphones of five cheerleaders were stolen along with some credit cards.
The cards were used to purchase $80 in clothing at Walmart and a pack of cigarettes at a gas station, Collier said.
Bryant was held in the Harris County [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Sale-Online-Glasses-Frames-Sweaters-Handbag.html]Gucci Sweaters[/url] jail in lieu of $30,000 bond.

Krebs, who broke the story of the Target breach last year, said it appears the latest hack involves nearly all of Home Depot’s stores around the country. The Target breach impacted just shy of 1,800 stores, lasted for approximately three weeks and resulted [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Michael-Kors-Vanilla-Handbag]Michael Kors Vanilla Handbag[/url] in the theft of roughly 40 million debit and credit card numbers, he wrote.

Knox County Chief Deputy Sheriff Tim Carroll believes Laurita fell into the corral and hit his head on concrete. An autopsy conducted later Tuesday by the state medical examiner concluded that Laurita, 56, died from asphyxiation and multiple fractures resulting from compression [url=http://www.alportico.net/prodotti/christianlouboutin-sale.jkmsw.php]Christian Louboutin Sale[/url] of the chest, presumably because one of the giant mammals stepped on him.
It was not immediately clear Tuesday what would become of the Hope Elephants organization or the animals themselves in the wake of Laurita s death. The federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration has been called in to investigate, police said.
A man who was keeping media away from the facility Tuesday said there is another elephant handler on staff and that an emergency plan is in place to take care of the elephants.
The sheriff s department is still investigating, but has ruled Laurita s death an accident 鈥?one that rocked this rural town in the Camden Hills area of Knox County.
I had to send an email this morning to town officials and I almost didn t want to type the words, said Jon Duke, town administrator for Hope, a close-knit community of about 1,500 residents. It s hard to think of him in the past tense because he was so alive. He was such a force of nature.
A small, handmade sign at the entrance of Hope Elephants on Tuesday alerted would-be visitors that the facility was closed, without saying why.
A number of people gathered outside the large, wood-sided barn, but none wanted to talk. Bouquets of flowers began to appear near a fence in the afternoon. The elephants were not visible.
Jim s passion for all animals, but especially elephants, was boundless, Hope Elephants board of directors wrote on the company s website. It was Jim s ability (to) share that passion with all around him that not only helped to make our organization a reality, but also enriched and enhanced the lives of all those who had a chance to know Jim. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Laurita family. We ask that you respect their privacy during this difficult time.
Attempts Tuesday to reach Tom Laurita, Jim s brother and the chairman of the board of directors for Hope Elephants, were not successful.
Several townspeople at the Hope General Store also declined to talk to a Press Herald reporter. One woman said the news was still too raw.
The two brothers, originally from New York, joined the circus in the 1970s as a juggling duo. They toured the Midwest with Carson Barnes Circus.
Eventually, Tom graduated to ringmaster while Jim handled the elephants, including Rosie and Opal, both Asian elephants that [url=http://www.museosangennaro.com/Public/anel.php]Cheap Christian Louboutin Shoes[/url] were young circus performers at the time. The elephants are now in their 40s.
After leaving the circus life, Laurita got a veterinary degree from Cornell University and went on to work at the Bronx Zoo in New York City and at Wildlife Safari in Oregon, specializing in elephants. He moved his family to Maine two decades ago and opened a veterinary practice in Rockport.
When Laurita approached town officials a few years ago about bringing two retired elephants to his property on Hatchet Mountain Road, far away from the circus lights, the idea raised some concerns, Duke said.
There are some towns where people don t want chickens in their backyard, let alone an elephant, he said. But Jim convinced all his neighbors. He had a vision and he was committed to making it happen.
In 2011, Jim and Tom brought their old friends to Maine and founded their nonprofit, Hope Elephants, after raising more than $100,000 in donations from individuals and local small businesses.
The nonprofit s mission was two-fold: Laurita would care for the elephants and provide rehabilitation and therapy, and the facility would welcome school groups and others to raise awareness about the creatures, which are endangered. The International Union for Conservation of Nature estimates that there are about 50,000 living in the wild and 16,000 in captivity.
In 2011, Laurita told The Boston Globe that plans for the therapeutic facility for the elephants included acupuncture, as well as ultrasound, nutritional support for arthritis, and a water treadmill for high-resistance, low-impact exercise. The facility also has hosted school groups interested in learning about the animals.
The goal, Laurita said at the time, was to come up with new methods to treat arthritic animals. We re going to give (Rosie) the kind of therapy a racehorse would receive.
The facility drew criticism from animal rights groups. They called the center unsafe and inhumane, and said Maine s cold climate was [url=http://www.symbiose.ca/images/christianlouboutin.gwij.php]Christian Louboutin Outlet[/url] inappropriate for elephants.
They might think they re doing something kind for the elephant, but in truth they re not, Melissa Gates, founding director of Animal Rights Maine, told the Globe in 2011. It seems to us that they plan to continue to exploit this elephant.
The California-based group In Defense of Animals even got comedian Lily Tomlin to write a letter to Gov. Paul LePage opposing Laurita s plans.
But Laurita went through the regulatory process at the local, state and federal levels, and succeeded in bringing the elephants to Maine.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture s animal and plant health inspection division conducted its annual inspection of Hope Elephants in April and found the facility in compliance with federal regulations. Laurita s license for the two elephants was active.
Duke said Laurita always had the support of the town and that Hope Elephants has helped put the community on the map.
Anyone I talk to about Hope says, Oh, you re the elephant town, he said. They think I m up there wrangling elephants.
But that s all Jim. He was a great friend to a lot of people.

BOSTON (AP) — Nine-term incumbent U.S. Rep. John Tierney on Tuesday conceded defeat to political newcomer Seth Moulton in the Democratic primary in the state’s 6th Congressional District.Tierney would be the first sitting Massachusetts congressman to lose a primary since 1992, when former U.S. Rep. Marty Meehan beat then-incumbent Chester Atkins in the Democratic primary.Moulton, a former Marine and Iraq war veteran from Salem, would face Republican Richard Tisei in the November election. He ran a well-financed campaign in his bid to unseat Tierney and suggested the incumbent had been ineffective in Congress. By mid-August, Moulton had raised $1.6 million compared with the $1.9 million raised by Tierney.During much [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/clreplicashoes.php] Christian Louboutin Outlet Online[/url] of the primary Tierney had focused his attention on Tisei.Then, late in the primary, Tierney launched a campaign ad linking Moulton to Republicans who support gun rights and oppose abortion rights. The ad focused on money the Moulton campaign received from the White Mountain PAC, which is affiliated with former U.S. Sen. Judd Gregg, a New Hampshire Republican.Moulton said the ad showed that Tierney believed he was a serious challenger.Moulton has argued he would have a stronger chance of holding off Tisei, a former state senator who lost to Tierney by [url=http://www.museosangennaro.com/Public/anel.php] Christian Louboutin Shoes Outlet[/url] less than 1 percent of the vote in the 2012 election. Tierney had responded by saying he had beaten Tisei.Immigration attorney Marisa DeFranco and two other Democrats, John Gutta and John Patrick Devine, also were on the primary ballot.It was the second tough campaign for Tierney. In 2012, he was dogged by questions about what he knew of an illegal offshore gambling ring involving his wife’s family.Moulton, a 35-year-old businessman and Harvard graduate who enlisted in the Marines in 2001, described himself in a campaign ad as a “progressive Democrat who opposed the war in Iraq.”"But I also was a Marine serving my country,” Moulton said. “So I went, led my platoon and always ate last after my men.”During the campaign, Moulton expressed his opposition to another ground war in Iraq as President Barack Obama considers the nation’s options for fighting back against Islamic State militants.Moulton also backs abortion and gay rights, tighter restrictions on gun ownership and comprehensive immigration reform. About 8 percent of the district’s population served in the military, and about 15 percent are age 64 or older.During the primary, Moulton suggested that Tierney’s victory two years ago was due in part to the political coattails of Obama and consumer advocate Elizabeth Warren, who were on the ballot and helped draw Democrats to the polls. Warren [url=http://www.museosangennaro.com/Public/wdluk.php]Louboutin Shoes Outilet[/url] won a U.S. Senate seat against Republican Scott Brown.Tierney had rejected Moulton’s suggestion, arguing that he had the issues on his side.The general election could be equally hard fought.Republicans see the 6th Congressional District at their best chance to pick up a seat in Massachusetts.Tisei has already been the beneficiary of a $350,000 ad buy from the conservative U.S. Chamber of Commerce earlier in the year. The 30-second ad, which ran on TV and online in May, portrayed Tisei as “an independent voice for Massachusetts.” Copyright The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

Active-shooter drills have become ways that law enforcement, fire and school officials prepare for dealing with a gunman or mass shooting. But what can families and members of the general public do to be better prepare for the unthinkable? That s what officials plan to answer during two separate community forums slated for this week at Saint Martin s University in Lacey and South Puget Sound Community College in Olympia.The free events, titled Surviving an Active Shooter, are open to the public and organized by officials from Thurston County s local law enforcement agencies, fire departments, Medic One, three colleges and Homeland Security Region 3. We spend a lot of time in the emergency response [url=http://www.alportico.net/page.php?sale=Gucci-Underwear]Gucci Sale Online[/url] community preparing for these (types of situations), said Lacey Fire District 3 chief Steve Brooks. …We feel like the next important step is to help our community better prepare. The forums will include remarks by law enforcement and fire officials, a kid friendly video, a question-and-answer session for participants and refreshments. In addition, Thursday s event will mark the anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attack with a joint honor-guard presentation. We ll have a moment of silence and commemoration of our nation s tragedy, said Jesi Chapin, coordinator for Homeland Security Region 3.Chapin said active-shooter events are something families should talk about because having a plan in place and knowing when to run, hide or fight can save lives. Chapin and Brooks said [url=http://www.radiorcs.com/page.php?sale=Kate-Spade-Sunglasses-Polarized]Kate Spade Sunglasses Polarized[/url] the forums are needed because of incidents such as the Clackamas Town Center shooting outside Portland in December 2012, which killed three people; and the Aurora, Colorado, theater shooting in July 2012, which killed a dozen people and injured 58 others. We re really hoping to especially get families in there, to develop a plan on what to do, Chapin said.The forums are meant to increase public awareness on the issue, and precede a full-scale, active-shooter drill that will be held [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Tory-Burch-Sequin-Flats]Tory Burch Sequin Flats[/url] at South Puget Sound Community College in April, Chapin said.

ATLANTA (CNN) For four years, I dated a man who beat me.
The first time it happened it was around Christmas of my freshman year of college. I had known him a couple of months. He was the first guy I had ever had a physical relationship with, and I was madly in love.
But he had a dark side, a short fuse, and I was very vocal and told him what I thought. The problem was, instead of arguing with me, he just beat me up.
The episodes continued throughout our relationship. At one point, he actually put me in the hospital with a concussion, my face and body covered with cuts and bruises.
My friends begged me to leave him. His fraternity brothers did an intervention of sorts and told me he was a no-good, nasty SOB. But for some odd reason, which took hours of therapy to figure out years later, I just stayed with him.
It wasn t that I was unpopular or lonely. I had lots of friends, men and women. I was a good student, a leader on campus. I came from a loving home, with a father who never hit my mother, or me. But for years, I had a secret that only the closest of my friends knew about: I [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/guccioutlet.onlinesalecc.php]Gucci Shoes[/url] was an abused girlfriend.
According to the 2010 National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey, 32% of women are physically assaulted by a partner during their lifetime. I was one of them.
The question is, why did I stay?
The American Psychiatric Association says that women remain in abusive relationships for many reasons: lack of finances, poor self-esteem, children and even religious and cultural values. In my case, I felt I had done something wrong and deserved it.
It also might be because I was raised in a family where, and at a time when, sex was a little taboo.聽It was the 70s, and I was in school on a large rural campus. You just didn t do it unless you were married. So when I had sex at the age of 18 with this young man, I had pretty much made up my mind he was my future husband.
So I put up with it. There was a strange bond I had with him, because when he wasn t beating me up, he was very nice to me. He treated me well, sent me flowers, took me places. We laughed, had a great time together.
But periodically [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/guccioutlet.onlinesalecc.php]Gucci Shoes[/url] when we argued, he would just lash out with his fists. It was horrible. But what was even more horrible was that I blamed myself for mouthing off. I thought if only I could keep my opinions to myself, the beatings wouldn t happen anymore. How naive of me. How foolish.
The ironic part of this story is that he ended our relationship because I graduated from college and he didn t. He threw me out. I guess he was jealous.
He was definitely a jerk.
Six months after we broke up, I was coming home to my little apartment, carrying decorations for my first Christmas tree as a working woman, and I found him sitting on my doorstep. I have no idea how he found me.
He asked to take me to dinner so we could talk. I reluctantly went. While chatting over the meal, he said he wanted to come back and that he didn t realize how good he had it. I quickly answered back, I didn [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/clreplicashoes.php] Christian Louboutin Outlet Online[/url] t know how bad I had it, but now I do!
For once he didn t whack me. He got up and left me at the restaurant, never to see me again. I had to take a cab home.
As I sat in the back seat I felt a sense of relief, but also shame that I had let it go on so long. But I was no longer a victim: I was free. As I look back on it now, It was the best cab ride I ever took.

Sometime in August, California became the first state with more than 100,000 electric cars and plug-in hybrids on the road, according to an EV advocacy group.
That鈥檚 still a tiny fraction of all cars in the Golden State, where drivers bought 1.7 million light-duty vehicles last year alone. But considering that the current wave of electric cars didn鈥檛 hit the market until late 2010, EV fans say they鈥檙e pleased with [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/guccioutlet.onlinesalecc.php]Gucci Outlet[/url] the progress.
鈥淲e鈥檝e clearly gotten beyond the point where this is just a boutique item for enthusiasts,鈥?said Mary Nichols, chairwoman of the California Air Resources Board.

The board is a member of the , a public-private partnership that promotes electric transportation. The collaborative tracks EV sales in California with data from the Baum Associates market research firm as well as the Air Resources Board itself, which offers to Californians who buy electric cars or plug-in hybrids.
California accounts for roughly 40 percent of the nation鈥檚 electric vehicle sales, and those sales are accelerating. In 2012, Californians bought 6,197 pure electric cars 鈥?such as the Nissan Leaf and the Tesla Model S 鈥?and 14,701 plug-in hybrids, including the Chevy Volt. Last year, [url=http://www.alportico.net/prodotti/christianlouboutin-sale.jkmsw.php]Christian Louboutin Boots[/url] sales jumped to 21,963 electrics and 20,235 plug-in hybrids, according to the Polk research firm.
For the first 8 months of 2014, Californians bought 15,251 pure electric cars and 16,239 plug-in hybrids.
鈥淲e鈥檙e seeing customers come in to our dealers with some knowledge about hybrids, but they leave with a plug-in hybrid,鈥?said Mike Tinskey, director of sustainable business strategies for Ford Motor Co. The company introduced its C-Max Energi plug-in hybrid in 2012.
Electrics still represented just 1.3 percent of new car sales in California last year, while plug-in hybrids were 1.2 percent. But Nichols said the cars are common enough that potential buyers are becoming aware of them, used to them and willing [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/michaelkorssonline.php] michael kors sale[/url] to give them a try.
鈥淭he car companies have done their bit by building some wonderful, fast, sporty, attractive vehicles,鈥?she said. 鈥淐onsumers need to see them out on the road to understand the potential. This 100,000 mark is important because it means there鈥檚 enough of these cars on the road, in the parking lots, for people to see.鈥?

The BAA鈥檚 board of directors Saturday approved making the offer to Baylor, though the group鈥檚 president, Keith Starr, declined to discuss the terms of the proposed settlement.
鈥淚 want [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Sale-Online-Glasses-Frames-Sweaters-Handbag.html]Gucci Glasses Frames[/url] the university and their lawyers to be able to have the same deliberative process that we had in arriving at this proposal in the hopes that it will pass,鈥?Starr said. 鈥淚n terms of the details, I鈥檓 just going to let the lawyers handle this.鈥?
Starr said the announcement is meant to signal to BAA members and Baylor that the group still is actively working toward achieving a harmonious relationship with the university.
鈥淲e鈥檙e going to take one last chance at peace, that鈥檚 what we鈥檙e doing,鈥?Starr said.
Starr, who is not related to Baylor President Ken Starr, said the terms are different from conditions discussed by the BAA and regents this summer as the two sides sought a resolution to avoid going to court.
Baylor sued the alumni association in June to stop the group from using the university鈥檚 name and registered marks and is seeking to bar the group from continuing its alumni outreach activities.
Baylor moved to terminate its licensing rights with the BAA last fall after an attempt to merge the group鈥檚 operations with Baylor鈥檚 own alumni network activities failed to gain sufficient support from BAA members.
After those negotiations this summer failed to [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Discount-New-Drivers-Guccissima.html]Gucci Discount[/url] produce a resolution, the BAA filed a counterclaim last month seeking a judgment ordering Baylor to continue upholding its obligations under the official recognition agreement that established the association as the university鈥檚 official alumni organization.
The BAA also wants a ruling preventing the university from continuing with its Baylor Alumni Network, which BAA leaders have said was created in 2002 to thwart the alumni association鈥檚 activities.
Starr said the BAA鈥檚 attorneys have not yet sent the settlement terms to Baylor leaders, though he expects that will happen later this week. He did not know the deadline for Baylor to respond to the offer.
Starr said [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Handbags-Paolo-Tshirt-Ankle-Boots.html]Gucci Ankle Boots[/url] if the regents approve the settlement as written, it will be sent to the BAA鈥檚 full membership for a vote to go into effect. If the regents reject the offer, Starr said the BAA is prepared to continue with the litigation.
Baylor spokeswoman Lori Fogleman said in a statement that the university was not aware of any terms of the proposed settlement.
鈥淭here is no question that Baylor is firing on every cylinder, and alumni worldwide are coming alongside the university in record numbers and in a multitude of ways to help fuel the upward trajectory of their alma mater,鈥?Fogleman said. 鈥淲e look forward to receiving the proposal, and we hope that it reflects the sentiment of the majority of Baylor alumni who are actively partnering with the university in this period of unparalleled progress.鈥?

An outbreak of a rare respiratory virus continues to sicken children in the St. Louis area, causing heavy traffic in emergency rooms and intensive care units.Nearly 800 kids have tested positive for a respiratory rhinovirus or enterovirus at St. Louis Children鈥檚 Hospital this year, most since [url=http://www.alportico.net/prodotti/christianlouboutin-sale.jkmsw.php]Christian Louboutin Sale[/url] the beginning of August. The hospital lab鈥檚 more detailed testing on a sampling of specimens turned up the specific strain enterovirus 68, a rare virus that can cause severe symptoms in children, including coughing, wheezing and fever.Hospitals with similar outbreaks in Kansas City and Chicago last month sent specimens to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which determined that most of the illnesses there were also caused by enterovirus 68. More than half of the sickened children had a history of asthma or wheezing. So far, hospitals in 12 Midwestern states, including Missouri and Illinois, have reached out to the CDC for help in identifying the virus.鈥淚t isn鈥檛 a new virus but it is fairly uncommon, and we don鈥檛 know as much about it,鈥?said Dr. Anne Schuchat, director of the CDC鈥檚 national center for immunization and respiratory diseases, in a conference call Monday with reporters. 鈥淚t鈥檚 too early to say how long it will go, how widespread it will be.鈥滵isease investigators at the CDC said the situation is evolving, and they don鈥檛 know how many people have been infected. State health departments in Missouri and Illinois have issued health alerts to warn doctors of potential illnesses.The number of cases declined in the first week of September at St. Louis Children鈥檚, which had 154 positive tests of rhinoviruses and enteroviruses last week, compared to more than 180 in the last week of August. There were about 70 cases in early September last year.Dr. Gary Albers, co-director of the asthma center at Cardinal Glennon Children鈥檚 Medical Center, said the hospital has stayed very busy, with a 50 percent increase in emergency room volume compared to the average for this time of year.鈥淭he day-to-day admissions have been a little more variable but overall the numbers seem to be staying up,鈥?Albers said. 鈥淲e have no pattern right now to suggest that we鈥檙e past the peak.鈥漈here are hundreds of types of enteroviruses and rhinoviruses, including the common cold. The illnesses can cause fever and rash as [url=http://www.symbiose.ca/images/christianlouboutin.gwij.php]Christian Louboutin Sale[/url] well as respiratory symptoms. Most adults have mild or no symptoms, but the illness can be more serious in infants, children and [url=http://www.symbiose.ca/images/christianlouboutin.gwij.php]Christian Louboutin Outlet[/url] teenagers. In rare cases of enteroviruses, neurological complications including meningitis and paralysis can develop. There have been no deaths reported in the latest outbreak.Disease experts believe enterovirus 68 is spread through contact with saliva and mucus from an infected person. There is no vaccine or specific treatment for the virus. Some of the children who have been hospitalized have required ventilators to help them breathe, while others have been successfully treated with oxygen and asthma medications.The virus does not seem to be infecting adults, and the country has not seen an overall uptick in health care visits for flu-related symptoms. Health officials recommend good hand-washing habits and coughing or sneezing into the elbow as preventive measures. Children with asthma should continue taking their medications. There are other less serious respiratory viruses circulating in the area, but if a child has trouble breathing, parents should seek medical attention.鈥淭his can be a scary thing to hear about for parents, (but) most of the runny noses out there are not going to be turning into this,鈥?said Schuchat of the CDC.

WASHINGTON (September 8, 2014) Many people newly covered by Medicaid under the federal health law are seeking treatment in hospital emergency rooms, one of the [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Outlet-Sunglasses-Cheap-Mens-Wallets-White-Sunglasses.html]White Gucci Sunglasses[/url] most expensive settings for health care, according to an analysis that the Colorado Hospital Association released Monday.
The analysis, which a real-time glimpse at how the nation’s newest social program is working, also found signs that newly insured Medicaid patients admitted to hospitals may be sicker than [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Sale-Online-Robe-Discount-Cheap-Bag.html]Gucci Robe[/url] patients previously covered by the program, which serves more than 60 million low-income and disabled people.
Taxpayers could save millions of dollars if newly insured Medicaid patients with routine needs are steered to community health centers [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Belts-Online-Gold-Watch-Black-Purse-Bags.html]Gucci Bags[/url] or urgent care clinics, not service-intensive emergency rooms.

NEW YORK, Sept. 8, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Outlet-Online-Outlet-Usa-Outlet-Online-Shoes-Outlet.html]Gucci Outlet Usa[/url] The CBS Television Network announced today that James Corden will be the new host of THE LATE LATE SHOW. Corden a multi-faceted performer, host, writer and producer with accomplishments that span television, theater, film and comedy will take the reins of the daily late night show in 2015.
The 36-year-old Corden comes to American late night television with a growing list of award-winning and critically acclaimed credits. He is a Tony Award-winning performer on Broadway, a BAFTA-winning star of a UK television series, a feature film actor with two releases this year, and an acclaimed host, writer and producer in several genres of television.
Currently, Corden is starring opposite Keira Knightley and Mark Ruffalo in “Begin Again,” which is in theaters now, and will star opposite Meryl Streep, Johnny Depp and Emily Blunt in the highly anticipated feature film “Into the Woods,” which hits theaters in December. Additionally, Corden hosts the BAFTA Award-winning UK sports-themed comedy game show “A League of Their Own” on Sky 1 and stars in, produces and writes the BAFTA nominated comedy thriller “The Wrong Mans,” which is available on Hulu and airs on the BBC.
“James Corden is a rare entertainment force who combines irresistible charm, warmth and originality with a diverse range of creative instincts and performance talent,” said Nina Tassler, Chairman, CBS Entertainment. “He is the ultimate multi-hyphenate a writer, creator and performer who is loved and respected in every medium he touches, including theater, comedy, music, film and television. James is already a big star in the UK and he’s wowed American audiences on Broadway; we’re very excited to introduce his considerable and very unique talents to our network television audience on a daily basis.”
“I can’t describe how thrilled and honoured I am to be taking over from the brilliant Craig Ferguson,” said Corden. “To be asked to host such a prestigious show on America’s #1 network is hugely exciting. I can’t wait to get started, and will do my very best to make a show America will enjoy.”
Outside of his native England, James Corden attracted international attention as the lead in the hit comedic play “One Man, Two Guvnors,” performing first in the National Theatre and the West End in London and then on Broadway, which earned him the 2012 Tony Award for Best Leading Actor in a Play. His additional theater credits include the worldwide tour of “The History Boys” in the role of Timms, which he also played in the feature film adaptation.
On television, Corden starred as Smithy in the critically acclaimed BBC comedy series “Gavin and Stacey,” which he co-created and co-wrote. For his role, he earned the BAFTA Television Award for Best Male Comedy Performance in 2008 and the British Comedy Award for Best Male Comedy Performer in 2007. The series received the British Comedy Award for Best TV Comedy in 2008 as well as the National Television Award for Most Popular Comedy Programme in 2010. Prior to that, Corden starred in the British television series “Fat Friends” from 2000 to 2005, which earned him a nomination for the 2000 Royal Television Society Award for Network Newcomer On Screen. He also had a recurring role in the popular BBC science fiction series “Doctor Who” as Craig Owens, the Doctor’s roommate. In addition, Corden hosted the Brit Awards, the biggest event in the British music industry, from 2010 to 2014.
Over the course of his career, Corden has been awarded the Royal Television Society Award for Comedy Writer [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Outlet-Watch-Men-Womens-Sunglasses-Crossbody-Bag.html]Gucci Crossbody Bag[/url] of the Year for his work on “The Wrong Mans,” the Writers’ Guild of Great Britain Award for Comedy Writer of the Year, the South Bank Show Award for Comedy, the Tric Award for Best Comedy and the National Television Award in 2010 for Best Comedy.
Corden’s additional film credits include “How to Lose Friends and Alienate People,” with Jeff Bridges; “Gulliver’s Travels,” with Jack Black; and “The Three Musketeers,” with Orlando Bloom.
THE LATE LATE SHOW with JAMES CORDEN will be produced by CBS. The creative elements, as well as the producers and the location for the Corden-hosted LATE LATE SHOW, will be determined and announced at a later date.
Corden succeeds Craig Ferguson, the critically acclaimed host of the CBS late night series for the past 10 years. Ferguson announced his intention to leave the show during his April 28 broadcast, and will sign off in December 2014.
THE LATE LATE SHOW is broadcast weeknights on the CBS Television Network from 12:37 AM-1:37 AM, ET/PT.

ST. LOUIS COUNTY聽鈥?A man wanted in the shooting of a St. Louis County police officer on Sunday morning was arrested Tuesday in St. Louis.Eric Fowler,聽27, of the 5400 block of Thrush Avenue in St. Louis, was charged Sunday with first-degree assault on a police officer and armed criminal action.The county officer suffered non-life threatening injuries in the [url=http://www.alportico.net/gosoc.php] true religion outlet[/url] shooting just after midnight Sunday.聽Police gave this account of the shooting:Officers were responding to a call received at around midnight in which neighbors reported a disturbance at a house in the 5800 block of Eagle Valley Drive聽in unincorporated St. Louis County. Neighbors [url=http://www.alportico.net/prodotti/christianlouboutin-sale.jkmsw.php]Christian Louboutin Discount[/url] said a man was attempting to enter the address, and one caller added that a female was seen running out of the rear of the home.When officers arrived, they saw a man who quickly entered a gray Dodge Avenger and backed the car out of the parking space.After officers approached the car to speak with the driver, the vehicle stopped and the driver fired several gunshots at the officers. One of the rounds struck a St. Louis County officer in his gun belt.聽 The second officer, a聽Velda City police [url=http://www.alportico.net/prodotti/christianlouboutin-sale.jkmsw.php]Cheap Christian Louboutin[/url] officer, returned fire. The vehicle fled the scene and it was unclear if Fowler was hit.The St. Louis County officer, who has been with the department a little more than one year,聽was transported to a hospital where he was treated.The vehicle allegedly driven by Fowler from the scene of the shooting was later recovered by police.Authorities said Fowler was arrested Tuesday afternoon. He had no injuries, police said.

DETROIT (AP) — Detroit has reached a tentative deal to pay a key creditor 26 cents on the dollar, a move that that could clear the biggest hurdle in the city’s plan to reduce its debts and emerge from bankruptcy protection, it was announced Tuesday night.A joint court filing Tuesday evening said that Detroit and the bond insurer Syncora Guarantee “have reached an agreement in principle” to settle the company’s $400 million claim in the nation’s largest-ever municipal bankruptcy case.Syncora spokesman Steven Schlein told The Associated Press the company would get 26 percent of what it’s owed.The two sides said they need two days to complete the deal and ask Judge Steven Rhodes for a postponement of the bankruptcy case trial until Friday.”If this agreement is finalized within this time period as we expect, it will profoundly alter the course of the proceeding and the litigation plan of the remaining parties,” the filing said.Syncora attorney James Sprayregen told the AP [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/gucciusaonlineoutlet.php] cheap gucci[/url] that the postponement request was “so that we can work through certain contingencies contained in the deal, including obtaining full resolution with Bank of America, UBS and other stakeholders.”"We are hopeful the deal will be finalized in the next 48 hours,” Sprayregen said.In response to a question from the judge last week, another Syncora lawyer had told the judge that [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/gucciusaonlineoutlet.php] cheap gucci[/url] he thought Detroit could afford to pay 75 cents on the dollar.Syncora Guarantee and fellow bond insurer Financial Guaranty Insurance Co. have been leading a small group of creditors fighting the plan by state-appointed emergency manager Kevyn Orr.The Associated Press left a message Tuesday night seeking comment from Orr spokesman Bill Nowling.Most creditors, including about 30,000 retirees and city employees, have endorsed Detroit’s plan to cut $12 billion in unsecured debt to about $5 billion.Syncora has strongly opposed the terms, saying that Detroit’s blueprint unfairly discriminated against financial creditors. Syncora and some other creditors have pushed for the city to look into the sale of assets, including city-owned pieces in the Detroit Institute of Arts.The threat to artwork prompted the creation of the so-called Grand Bargain — commitments from the state, major corporations, foundations and others to donate more than $800 million over 20 years meant to soften cuts to city pensions while placing pieces in the DIA into a trust and out of the reach of debtor demands.Pensioners this summer voted in favor of Orr’s plan, which calls for general retirees to take a 4.5 percent pension cut and lose annual inflation adjustments. Retired police officers and firefighters would lose a portion of their annual cost-of-living raise.For decades, Detroit paid its bills by borrowing money while struggling to provide the most basic of services for residents. The city, once fueled by the massive auto industry it gave birth to, shrank from 1.8 million [url=http://www.museosangennaro.com/Public/anel.php]Cheap Christian Louboutin Shoes[/url] people six decades ago to fewer than 700,000 now.The trial that began Sept. 2 is to help Rhodes determine whether to approve, modify or reject the city’s financial reorganization plan.___Follow David N.

Absent des parquets depuis plus d’un an et demi, certains observateurs pensent que Jason Richardson ne sera plus en mesure de jouer [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Outlet-Online-Duffle-Bag-Mens-Watch-Mens-Watch.html]Gucci Outlet Online[/url] en NBA.
Jason Richardson faisait partie du package lors du transfert d Andrew Bynum vers les Sixers, au moment au Dwight Howard a 茅t茅 envoy茅 du c么t茅 des Lakers.
J-Rich est connu pour 锚tre un joueur port茅 sur l attaque, avec une bonne adresse et un go没t prononc茅 pour le dunk, mais lors de la saison 2012-2013, pour sa premi猫re sous les couleurs de Philadelphie, Jason Richardson n a pu jouer que 33 matchs avant sa tr猫s grave blessure au genou en janvier 2013. Attendu au milieu de la saison derni猫re, Richardson n a jamais pu reprendre la comp茅tition et laisse une feuille 2012-2013 triste par rapport 脿 ses standards avec 10,5 points (40%, 34% 脿 3pts), 3,8 rebonds et 1,5 passe en 28 minutes de jeu.
Richardson est encore sous contrat avec les 76ers jusqu 脿 la saison prochaine, mais ESPN ne pense pas que l arri猫re de 33 ans sera en mesure de jouer le haut niveau de la NBA. Non seulement il est loin de retrouver les jambes de ses 20 ans et Richardson ne sera qu un pr茅texte financier, utile [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Sale-Swimsuit-Baby-Bags-Sale.html]Gucci Baby Bags[/url] pour les franchises qui cherchent 脿 lib茅rer de la masse salariale pour les ann茅es 脿 venir.

Est-ce que les 76ers vont profiter de son exp茅rience pour la saison prochaine ou l envoyer ailleurs pour faire encore un peu plus de places dans les comptes de la franchise ?

I鈥檓 as a 鈥渇ast food in moderation鈥?guy. I think it鈥檚 irresponsible for parents to make Burger King or Popeye鈥檚 a daily part of their children鈥檚 diet. But I think it鈥檚 a ridiculous reaction for county supervisors to regulate the sale of Happy Meal toys. Legislators should work on educating the public, not doing the parenting for them.
With that said, I still think it鈥檚 shocking to see how much fast food drink cups have increased in size over the past 40 years. The cups in 1973 look like shot glasses compared to the two-fisted monstrosities being sold in 2014.
This is a core argument by the crowd that is supporting the current proposed soda taxes聽聽and Berkeley; that big corporations have super-sized empty calorie beverages to extremely unhealthy proportions. Last year, for a different and , I found the San Francisco Chronicle鈥檚 earliest photos of fast food restaurants in the Bay Area. They were taken in Mill Valley and San Anselmo in 1973, when Taco Bell, Jack in the Box and McDonald鈥檚 were making their first huge surge into the suburbs. Last weekend,聽I decided to venture out with my own kids and take a few 鈥渘ow鈥?photos.
I included every 1973 Chronicle fast food photo where the drinks can be clearly seen; I didn鈥檛 selectively pick images where the drinks looked small. Then I went to the three Alameda restaurants from the same chains with my kids, and made [url=http://www.museosangennaro.com/Public/wdluk.php]Christian Louboutin Shoes Sale[/url] the following request to the cashiers at each one: 鈥淧lease give me exactly one drink in every size sold by this establishment.鈥?
The results are in the slideshow, above. A few more thoughts after this Jack in the Box photo 鈥?
Taco Bell drink cups in 1973, 2014.
* I brought the empty cups home and used a measuring cup to check the volume. The 2014 cups from three restaurants ranged between 12 ounces and 40 ounces. Jack in the Box鈥檚 cups ranged between 20 ounces to 40 ounces. (Based on the photos, I鈥檇 estimate the 1973 cups ranged between 8 ounces and 16 ounces.)
* After the size of the drinks, the second thing I noticed was how fit the people looked in the 1973 fast food photos. Even the ones that are clearly stoned and listening to 鈥淟ed Zeppelin III鈥?look like they could run an 8 minute mile. Understatement of the day: If you walked randomly into a McDonald鈥檚, Jack in the Box and Taco Bell in 2014, the people would not look as universally healthy as they did in 1973.
* I sprung this fast food excursion on my kids, who seemed suspicious. I take them to fast food maybe once every five or six weeks, and then only after they鈥檝e done something exceptional. Three in a day seemed unfathomable. Note to CPS: I did not allow them to drink 120 ounces of soda each. The smallest drinks were filled 1/3 of the way with root beer, except for McDonald鈥檚, where we filled only the smallest drink and shared it.
(Photo: Stephanie Maze/The Chronicle 1973)
* When I looked at the fast food menu prices in 1973 and 2014, the economic motivation for a drastic increase [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/guccioutlet.onlinesalecc.php]Gucci Outlet Store[/url] in drink size started to make more sense. Most drinks in 1973 cost 15 or 20 cents. In 2014, they cost about 10 times that much. Meanwhile, other menu items (cheeseburgers, tacos, etc.) have remained about the same size, and increased in cost by closer to three times. I know from working in food service that drinks have a very high profit margin. Creating a market with larger drinks (and larger corresponding prices) makes business sense, even if it comes at the expense of a healthy customer base.
* McDonald鈥檚 was the only restaurant of the three where the cashier offered us a 鈥渒id size鈥?drink. (Which at 12 ounces looked about as big as most adult-size containers in 1973, but was still by far the smallest cup that we received.) The cashier also asked if I wanted milk as an option for the kids. If other chains had a smaller size cup than the ones displayed [url=http://www.museosangennaro.com/Public/anel.php] Christian Louboutin Shoes Outlet[/url] in the photos, they didn鈥檛 think to offer it to me.
Which brings us to 鈥?
(Photo: Stephanie Maze/The Chronicle 1973)
* I do not weep for the people who run McDonald鈥檚, and probably never will. But that restaurant chain shoulders an unbalanced brunt of the ire directed at the fast food industry. Of the five biggest fast food chains in the Bay Area, McDonald鈥檚 has by far developed the healthiest options in recent years for their kid and adult meals. (McDonald鈥檚 was also the only place I visited that had a composting option for our trash.)
And yet McDonald鈥檚 remain the poster child for unhealthy eating, while KFC and Jack in the Box sort of slink by quietly the in background, seemingly in an arms race to develop . McDonald鈥檚 may have the biggest historic role in the super-sizing of America. But the chain is no longer the worst.
One final note: A huge shout-out to former Chronicle photographer Stephanie Maze, whose tenure at the paper in the 1970s was shorter than some others, but she made her mark nonetheless. She always went the extra mile on otherwise routine assignments. (Her photos of the 1977 KISS concert at the Cow Palace .)
Stephanie went on to work for National Geographic, and published a series of books for young readers.

Can anyone doubt that Los Angeles Kings defenseman Alec Martinez earned his Day with the Cup? After all, he scored the game winning goal both in the Conference Finals and the actual Stanley Cup Finals both in overtime, by the way.
Let s start by reliving those two goals.
Alec Martinez s Game Winners
For (yet another) [url=http://www.alportico.net/page.php?sale=Gucci-Aviator]Gucci Aviator[/url] Game 7, the LA Kings faced the defending Stanley Cup champs, the Chicago Blackhawks. Not only was it the Kings third Game 7 of the playoffs, the game went into overtime.
The score was 4-4. Even though Los Angeles are puck-possession, well, kings, these were the reigning champs. Play went back and forth. Then, a quarter of the way through overtime, play entered the Blackhawks zone. The puck came to Martinez, and he lobbed it toward Chicago goalie Corey Crawford.
It went in. It bounced off defenseman Nick Leddy and careened past Crawford. Crawford slumped. The crowd in Chicago s United Center growled in disappointment. No matter, third-line defenseman Alec Martinez had .
Surely it was a fluke, right? This was no superstar Drew Doughty. This was Alec Martinez, a player with some of the lowest minutes on the team.
It was no fluke. The Kings didn t take it to seven games with the New York Rangers at a certain point even the Energizer Bunny Kings get weary. They solved the Rangers in five.
And Alec Martinez , future Hall of Famer Henrik Lundqvist.
To Lundqvist s credit, he was a superb goalie that night. He made 48 saves 32 of them from the third period on. No, you can t lay the blame at Lundqvist s feet.
You can lay it at Martinez s feet, though. The game didn t just go into overtime, it went into double overtime.
Late in the second overtime, Kings goalie Jonathan Quick made a key save. Play moved up the ice, a 3-on-2, and Martinez was part of the action. Kings forward Tyler Toffoli he of the Whoo-hoo to his father on live TV shot the puck. Lundqvist made the save, but the rebound came [url=http://www.alportico.net/page.php?sale=Men-Gucci-Shirts]Men Gucci Shirts[/url] right to Martinez s stick.聽 Lundqvist was on the far side of the net, leaving wide open space for Martinez.
And he buried it in. The crowd at the LA Staples Center went delirious. Martinez went delirious he lost a few seconds:
I blacked out. I tossed my gear, the guys jumped in, and I couldn鈥檛 breathe for a while. It鈥檚 a surreal moment.
Surreal or not, thanks to Alec Martinez s overtime goal, the Kings had won the Stanley Cup.
Alec Martinez s Day With the Cup
Alec Martinez is the last amongst players and coaches to receive his Day with the Cup. No reason why everyone else got to go before him maybe they saved the best for last. Indeed, the Cup will visit vice president and Kings legend Luc Robitaille absolute last.
In any case, Martinez received the Stanley Cup around 10:30 am on Monday, August 25, at his home in Allen, Texas. According to and the player s own tweets, he and a group of family and friends had lunch at a nearby driving range NHL players do love their golf in the off-season. Later he held a Stanley Cup party at his newly-purchased home, then everyone went out for dinner at an area restaurant. At some point in all the festivities Martinez filled the Cup with Fruit Loops. And that was Martinez s chill Day with the Cup.
One question going into the 2014-15 season is how big a role Martinez will take [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Tory-Burch-Beach-Tote-Sale]Tory Burch Beach Tote Sale[/url] on with the Kings. Even before his playoff heroics, he had started becoming a valuable asset on the LA blueline. Come training camp time, Alec Martinez could very well prove worthy of top-4 playing time. And that will give the LA Kings a formidable defensive corps indeed.
Regardless, will always be remembered as the quiet defenseman who proved to be the clutchiest of all clutch players.

Excellent post however , I was wondering if you could write a litte
more on this topic? I’d be very grateful if you could elaborate a little bit further.
WASHINGTON Tests of pilots killed in plane crashes over more than two decades show an increasing use of both legal and illegal drugs, including some that could impair flying, according to a study released Tuesday by the National Transportation Safety Board.The study examined toxicology reports for almost 6,700 pilots killed in crashes from 1990 to 2012. Not only did the share of pilots testing positive for a drug increase over that period, but the share of pilots who tested positive for multiple drugs increased as well. Pilots testing [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Louboutin-Shoes-Uk]Christian Louboutin Outlet Online[/url] positive for at least one drug increased from 9.6 percent to 39 percent, while positive tests for two drugs rose from 2 percent to 20 percent and three drugs from zero to 8.3 percent.Over the same period, new drugs were coming into use and the U.S. population was aging, creating greater demand for drugs. The toxicology tests “reflect tends in the general population and likely indicate a significant increase in drug use” by pilots as well, the study said.However, the share of accidents the board has investigated in which impairment from a drug was found to be a factor hasn’t increased appreciably, the report said. Since 1990, the NTSB has cited pilot impairment due to drugs as a cause or a contributing factor in about 3 percent of fatal civil aviation accidents.Acting NTSB Chairman Chris Hart said the board “is concerned about possible safety implications of increased drug use in all modes of transportation.” He called the report “an important first step toward understanding those implications.”Dr. Mary Pat McKay, the board’s chief medical officer, said the study was limited to aviation because similarly comprehensive drug test data doesn’t exist for fatal highway, rail and maritime accidents. But it’s likely there are similar trends in those modes as well, she said.The board also voted to issue a safety alert to pilots, warning of the risk of impairment from many over-the-counter drugs. The board issued several recommendations to the Federal Aviation [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Navy-Tory-Burch-Flats]Navy Tory Burch Flats[/url] Administration and state governments aimed at better communication of drug risks to pilots and operators in all transportation modes.More than 9 out of 10 of the pilots tested were private rather than commercial pilots, and 98 percent were male. The average age of pilots killed also increased markedly, from 46 years old in 1990 to 57 in 2012. The average age of pilots killed was 5 to 15 years older than the general population of active pilots.The tests also revealed increased pilot use of all kinds of drugs, including drugs that could impair a pilot’s functioning as well as drugs used to treat potentially impairing conditions such as seizure disorders and psychiatric illness.The most common drug found in the tests was an antihistamine that causes drowsiness and is a key ingredient in many over-the-counter medications for [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Tory-Burch-Mini-Bag]Tory Burch Flats Cheap[/url] allergies, colds and sleep. Sedating antihistamines in general were found in 9.9 percent of pilots tested during the last five years studied, up from 2.1 percent of the cases during the early years examined.The share of pilots testing positive for illegal drugs was small, but increased from 2.3 percent to 3.8 percent. The study attributed the increase mostly to greater marijuana use in the last 10 years.A statement by the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association, which represents private pilots, called the NTSB study incomplete and said its results “should be regarded with caution.”"There are just far too many gaps and unknowns in the study for us to be able to draw any meaningful conclusions about aviation safety,” said Mark Baker, the association’s president.

SAN DIEGO After all of the talk, projections, and injuries聽of the preseason, the聽San Diego Chargers season has officially arrived with an intriguing game against the Arizona Cardinals.聽
Although this is just a Week 1 matchup, primetime Monday Night Football is always something special.聽
Well, I think (the players) are anxiously waiting Monday night, head coach said at practice Friday. You know, we ve had a great training camp, good offseason program and everything.
All the hard work that the players and coaches and the whole entire organization have put in to get to this point in time. So now you know it s time to go play a game. 聽
The Cardinals are coming off a 10-6 2013 season, but failed to reach the NFC Playoffs. Meanwhile, the Chargers are coming off another postseason disappointment at the hands of [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Barbie-Louboutin]Barbie Louboutin[/url] 聽hated rival Denver Broncos.
In many ways, though, these two teams share a great number of similarities.
Both have veteran quarterbacks who are established, successful聽players in the NFL. 聽Both have incredible offensive arsenals at their disposal and 聽have defenses that聽can make big plays.
While it s not a secret that the Cardinals had the number one rush defense last season, only conceding 84.4 yards per game, the loss of will prove costly. Especially against the dynamic rushing attack San Diego possesses.
And although Arizona possesses one of the better secondaries in the league, they are going to have their hands full. The running game is always a key for the Chargers in any game, but this season is where their passing game can take that next step.
With two veterans in and ,聽and two upcoming stars in and [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Cheap-Louboutin-Heels]Cheap Louboutin Heels[/url] this offense on paper should be in the top-5 in 2014. No matter what coverage聽Arizona has on the field, one of these offensive weapons聽will create enough space for to work effectively down the field.聽
The question for San Diego is its defense. It does not have the depth it needs to be dominant. While a healthy and will [url=http://www.alportico.net/page.php?sale=True-Religion-Jeans-Outlet-Sawgrass]True Religion Jeans Outlet Sawgrass[/url] complement a solid defense line, the secondary still needs to validate its promise.
The addition of Pro Bowl cornerback , along with their first-round draft pick Jason Verrett will upgrade their dismal 29th-ranked pass defense from last year. That being said, both players are still adapting to the system. Considering they will line up聽against and , they may have a tough time.聽
In the end, however, San Diego has too many great offensive weapons. Also with the likelihood of starting Cardinals running back not playing will help the Chargers take the season opener, 31-21.

鈥淪ince narcissists believe their status increases when they are associated with other special or high-status people, posting pictures of desirable friends may give narcissists a means of bolstering their egos,鈥?psychologist Shawn Bergman and collaborators wrote in a 2010 paper on the subject.
The Ice Bucket Challenge is a narcissist鈥檚 bonanza. You get to show yourself doing something marginally daring. Everybody will see how fit, handsome or witty you are 鈥?and how altruistic! Though the original deal was to donate to the ALS Association or pour a bucket of ice water over one鈥檚 head, people have [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Handbags-Silk-Scarf-London-Wholesale.html]Cheap Gucci Handbags[/url] typically done both and made no secret of it. What鈥檚 more, you get to associate yourself with all the famous people who are doing the same thing. There鈥檚 Bill Gates, who probably didn鈥檛 need the extra publicity or attention to his charity work but still built an elaborate contraption to douse himself, probably figuring he could up the ante in the ALS collection drive. There鈥檚 also Justin Bieber, who showed off his body and nominated all his fans and President Obama to upend those buckets.
There鈥檚 safety in crowds. If you鈥檙e bragging about doing something lots of others 鈥?and all those important people 鈥?are doing, you鈥檙e not really boasting. You鈥檙e showing that you fit in with the right bunch of people.
Don鈥檛 your motives still look shallow or self-serving, though?
鈥淚t is surprising to see so many people advertise their good deeds in that there exists a strong norm to be modest about prosocial behavior,鈥?London Business School professor Jonathan Berman and a group of researchers wrote in a 2014 article. After running various experiments, some of which involved posting [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Belts-Sale-Tie-Men-Sneakers-Key-Chain.html]Gucci Belts Sale[/url] reports of one鈥檚 good deeds on social networks, the group concluded that 鈥渂ragging about prosocial behavior is special because it directly undermines the information that an individual is trying to convey.鈥?If you boast about your altruism, you are seen as less altruistic. To avoid this unwelcome effect, 鈥減eople may create an appropriate context to discuss good deeds by steering a conversation in a direction that makes it appropriate to discuss prosocial behavior.鈥?
Trademarking?
The Ice Bucket Challenge provides the perfect context: You don鈥檛 talk about giving money to fight Lou Gehrig鈥檚 disease. You discuss the feel of that icy water on your pate, or Bieber鈥檚 narcissism, or Gates鈥檚 geekiness. It solves the 鈥渂raggart鈥檚 dilemma鈥?鈥?whether to tell others about your altruism 鈥?by removing the suspicion that your motives are selfish.
It鈥檚 such a perfect bit [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Outlet-Mens-Clothing-Eyewear-Mens-Shoes.html]Cheap Gucci Outlet[/url] of social engineering that the ALS Association鈥檚 effort to trademark it is perfectly understandable. Who cares about niceties, or Matthew 6:3, when something works to raise lots of money for a good cause? This is a case where the end may well justify the means 鈥?as long as no one gets killed.
Have I taken the Ice Bucket Challenge? No. Have I donated to the ALS Association? None of your business.

Six months after Michon’s Smokehouse, an Atlanta barbecue restaurant with St. Louis roots, , For Lease signs are back in the windows of 1001 Washington Avenue.Roger Zigler of Gershman Commercial Real Estate confirms that the [url=http://www.museosangennaro.com/Public/anel.php] Christian Louboutin Shoes Outlet[/url] property, which has been vacant since the restaurant Mosaic closed in September 2013, is available.”They hit a bump on their side,” Zigler said of Michon’s.聽Nathalie [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/gucciusaonlineoutlet.php] cheap gucci[/url] Michon, who owns the Atlanta restaurant with her mother, Gaye Wilson, has yet to return a call for comment from last week.No one answered the phone at the restaurant this afternoon.The Michon’s Smokehouse name is stenciled onto the front door of 1001 Washington Avenue, and a menu is posted to one side of [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/michaelkorssonline.php] michael kors handbags[/url] the entrance.

鈥淪ince narcissists believe their status increases when they are associated with other special or high-status people, posting pictures of desirable friends may give narcissists a means of bolstering their egos,鈥?psychologist Shawn Bergman and collaborators wrote in a 2010 paper on the subject.
The Ice Bucket Challenge is a narcissist鈥檚 bonanza. You get to show yourself doing something marginally daring. Everybody will see how fit, handsome or witty you are 鈥?and how altruistic! Though the original deal was to donate to the ALS Association or pour a bucket of ice water over one鈥檚 head, people have [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Belts-Sale-Man-Bag-Mens-Bag-Shield-Sunglasses.html]Gucci Belts Sale[/url] typically done both and made no secret of it. What鈥檚 more, you get to associate yourself with all the famous people who are doing the same thing. There鈥檚 Bill Gates, who probably didn鈥檛 need the extra publicity or attention to his charity work but still built an elaborate contraption to douse himself, probably figuring he could up the ante in the ALS collection drive. There鈥檚 also Justin Bieber, who showed off his body and nominated all his fans and President Obama to upend those buckets.
There鈥檚 safety in crowds. If you鈥檙e bragging about doing something lots of others 鈥?and all those important people 鈥?are doing, you鈥檙e not really boasting. You鈥檙e showing that you fit in with the right bunch of people.
Don鈥檛 your motives still look shallow or self-serving, though?
鈥淚t is surprising to see so many people advertise their good deeds in that there exists a strong norm to be modest about prosocial behavior,鈥?London Business School professor Jonathan Berman and a group of researchers wrote in a 2014 article. After running various experiments, some of which involved posting [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Handbags-Mules-Pajamas-Suede-Loafers.html]Gucci Mules[/url] reports of one鈥檚 good deeds on social networks, the group concluded that 鈥渂ragging about prosocial behavior is special because it directly undermines the information that an individual is trying to convey.鈥?If you boast about your altruism, you are seen as less altruistic. To avoid this unwelcome effect, 鈥減eople may create an appropriate context to discuss good deeds by steering a conversation in a direction that makes it appropriate to discuss prosocial behavior.鈥?
Trademarking?
The Ice Bucket Challenge provides the perfect context: You don鈥檛 talk about giving money to fight Lou Gehrig鈥檚 disease. You discuss the feel of that icy water on your pate, or Bieber鈥檚 narcissism, or Gates鈥檚 geekiness. It solves the 鈥渂raggart鈥檚 dilemma鈥?鈥?whether to tell others about your altruism 鈥?by removing the suspicion that your motives are selfish.
It鈥檚 such a perfect bit [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Belts-Online-Baby-Clothes-Mens-Belt-White-Shoes.html]White Gucci Shoes[/url] of social engineering that the ALS Association鈥檚 effort to trademark it is perfectly understandable. Who cares about niceties, or Matthew 6:3, when something works to raise lots of money for a good cause? This is a case where the end may well justify the means 鈥?as long as no one gets killed.
Have I taken the Ice Bucket Challenge? No. Have I donated to the ALS Association? None of your business.

A level-three sex offender [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/guccioutlet.onlinesalecc.php]Gucci Outlet[/url] who went missing from a mental institution is back in jail after a Seattle police officer caught him wandering Capitol Hill.
Seattle Police Detective Drew Fowler says an officer believed he’d seen the offender previously in the area.
“This morning, one of the officers came into roll call at 3 a.m. and said, ‘Hey, I think someone I saw in a bulletin has been roaming around on Broadway. I think I recognize him. Let’s see if we can maybe go out [url=http://www.museosangennaro.com/Public/anel.php] Christian Louboutin Shoes UK[/url] and find him.’”
Fowler says the patrol officer located level-three sex offender Eric Wyatt and took him back into custody Tuesday morning. Wyatt was reportedly off his medication and is considered at high risk to re-offend.
Detective Fowler commended the officer on recognizing Wyatt from the bulletin.
“We are flooded with bulletins, as many as 20 a day, and to be able to see a face and recognize a face and then match it and put [url=http://www.alportico.net/prodotti/christianlouboutin-sale.jkmsw.php]Christian Louboutin Heels[/url] it together, it just takes good work and a keen eye.”
So far, they haven’t had any reports of crimes connected to Wyatt while he was on the lam.

TROY, MO.聽鈥?The championship game of the eighth annual Troy Lead-off Tournament Saturday was a game of momentum swings.Good thing for the host Trojans that they had the last big shift in earning a 11-7 win over Fort Zumwalt North in the title contest.鈥淲e’re just an overall positive team and we try to keep each other up,鈥?Troy senior outfielder Bri Livingston said. 鈥淲e have seven seniors on the team and that senior leadership is important.鈥滱fter jumping out to a six-run [url=http://www.museosangennaro.com/Public/wdluk.php]Louboutin Shoes Outilet[/url] lead and then giving it all back, Troy (7-1, No. 6 in the STLhighschoolsports.com large-school softball rankings) scored five of the game’s final six runs to earn the win.The difference-making inning was the sixth in which Troy sent eight hitters to the plate and scored four times. The biggest hits were a pair of RBI doubles from Livingston and Alyssa Rivera to help put the game out of reach.鈥淚t’s just good to know that I have my teammates behind me, supporting me and not putting too much pressure on me鈥?said Livingston, who was 4-for-4 with two doubles [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/guccioutlet.onlinesalecc.php]Gucci Shoes[/url] and two RBI. 鈥淪o, I’m just up there very relaxed.鈥滲oth Troy and Zumwalt North (7-2, No. 4 LS) scored single tallies between the bottom of the sixth (North) and top of the seventh (Troy) to close out the scoring.Prior to that, the sides took turns ripping off six successive runs.Troy scored four runs in the first, with Rivera providing a two-run single to account for the heavy lifting and the Trojans added two more in the third on Zumwalt North errors.鈥淲e know we can hit anybody,鈥?Troy coach Lance Richardson said. 鈥淲e go out there and we bend, but we just don’t break.鈥漐umwalt North answered with six runs of its own as the Panthers tallied four in the fourth inning and two more in the fifth.In the fourth, seven North hitters came to the plate and the Panthers got a bases-loaded double to right center from Niki Swafford.鈥淲e made a lot of mistakes today that we don’t usually make,鈥?Zumwalt North coach Steve Siebert said. 鈥淢entally, coming back and fighting, that’s what these girls have done all season. I’m proud of them for that.鈥滺aley Rotert earned the win in relief for Troy. Shelby Clark suffered the loss for North.Clark said that the Trojans not recording a 1-2-3 inning until the seventh was something less than desirable.鈥淚t was frustrating,鈥?Rotert said. 鈥淭hat’s how it turns out sometimes, I guess. It (the win) was the thing we wanted, though. We got it.鈥滾ivingston added that the championship, which included wins [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/michaelkorssonline.php]Michael Kors uk[/url] over Winfield, Warrenton and Highland, Mo., was big.鈥淲e won this for four years before finishing third last year,鈥?Livingston said. 鈥淚t was important to us to get this title back and we did it.鈥滻n the third place game, Lafayette downed Highland, Mo., 8-5.”We had a lot of great things today,” Lafayette coach Scott DeNoyer said. “We moved people around and put people in different situations. Overall, I’m very pleased with how things went.”

MILWAUKEE (WITI) A respiratory virus has sent hundreds of children to hospitals, and it s causing alarm across the Midwest and beyond. Ten states have contacted the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for help investigating clusters of the virus that鈥檚 being blamed for the illness.
Health officials say they鈥檙e still working to figure out what鈥檚 going on.
The bug that appears to be causing most of the concern has a typically arcane name 鈥?Enterovirus EV-D68 鈥?but many of its symptoms are very common.
Enteroviruses, which bring on symptoms like a very intense cold, aren鈥檛 unusual. They鈥檙e actually very common.
When you have a bad summer cold, often what you have is an enterovirus, said Mark Pallansch, a virologist and director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention鈥檚 Division of Viral Diseases.
There are more than 100 types of enteroviruses causing about 10 to 15 million infections in the United States each year, according to the CDC. They are carried in the intestinal tract and often spread to other parts of the body.
The season often hits its peak in September, as summer ends and fall begins.
So why all the concern now?聽What鈥檚 unusual at the moment is the high number of hospitalizations.
There aren t any cases in Wisconsin currently, [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Belts-Online-Men-Discount-Jackie.html]Gucci Belts Online[/url] but there s concern we could see cases here in the near future.
In Colorado, nearly 900 children were treated for the illness, but the good news is that it s not typically deadly.
It can be severe in the asthmatic and the allergy kids population, Dr. Angela Tonozzi, the Director of Infection Prevention at Aurora Healthcare said.
Dr. Tonozzi says while there are no cases in Wisconsin currently, doctors here are prepared.
This is viral respiratory season, so we prepare for Enterovirus as we do every late summer/early fall, Dr. Tonozzi said.
An [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Outlet-Online-Wholesale-Clothing-Handbags-Cheap-Material.html]Gucci Material[/url] analysis by the CDC showed at least 30 Kansas City children tested positive for EV-D68, Missouri health officials said.
It鈥檚 a type of enterovirus that鈥檚 uncommon, but not new.
It was first identified in the 1960s and there have been fewer than 100 reported cases since that time. But it鈥檚 possible that the relatively low number of reports might be because EV-D68 is hard to identify.
EV-D68 was seen last year in the United States and this year in various parts of the world. Over the years, clusters have been reported in Georgia, Pennsylvania, Arizona and various countries including the Philippines, Japan and the Netherlands.
The virus can start as just a cold. Signs include coughing, difficulty breathing and in some cases a rash. Sometimes they can be accompanied by fever or wheezing.
Respiratory problems appear to the hallmark of EV-D68, according to the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services.
鈥淢ost enteroviruses cause either a little bit of a cold or a diarrheal illness 鈥?a few cause meningitis,鈥?said William Schaffner, head of the Department of Preventive Medicine at Vanderbilt University. 鈥淭his one is the, if you will, odd cousin. It causes prominent respiratory symptoms. Why it does that, we鈥檙e really not sure.鈥?
Pay attention to the symptoms that your child is having. If they`re having wheezing for the first time that`s a definite symptom you need to go and seek care for or if they`re having wheezing that just won`t go away. If you re having difficulty breathing, you might need some oxygen. You might need some fluids if you get dehydrated and just specialized care and monitoring, Dr. Tonozzi said.
Like other enteroviruses, the respiratory illness appears to spread through close contact with infected people. That makes children more susceptible.
There鈥檚 not a [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Belts-Online-Real-Men-Sunglasses-Ties.html]Real Gucci[/url] great deal you can do, health officials say, beyond taking commonsense steps to reduce the risk.
Wash your hands with soap and water for 20 seconds 鈥?particularly after going to the bathroom and changing diapers.
Clean and disinfect surfaces that are regularly touched by different people, such as toys and doorknobs.
Avoid shaking hands, kissing, hugging and sharing cups or eating utensils with people who are sick. And stay home if you feel unwell.
There鈥檚 no vaccine for EV-D68.

Unfortunately, I have become political fodder in a game of high-stakes politics due to a small role I played in a low budget film as a favor to a friend struggling to fulfill his own dreams, Benyak wrote in an email. I’m a veteran, a small business owner, and I’m active in my community. If helping [url=http://www.radiorcs.com/page.php?sale=Kate-Spade-Planner]Kate Spade Planner[/url] friends in need is what I’m charged with, then I am guilty, and I won’t apologize for it. Benyak, 50, has run his own law practice for 20 years.A film trailer shows Pittsburgh actor Richard John Walters as the lead character, The Farmer, forcefully taking women to a house for torture. The film depicts implied rape, cannibalism, beatings, buying and selling women as livestock, a man riding a woman and milking a woman.Benyak’s character and a woman who plays his wife tie up a woman and force-feed her, said Knotts, a registered Republican. All of the (characters) in the film are pretty twisted, he said.The Republican Governors Association, which has given Gov. Tom Corbett’s campaign $1.82 million, jumped on the information when Knotts tweeted about it and a BuzzFeed story chronicled Benyak’s appearances in the film and TV ad. If Tom Wolf doesn’t know who he is featuring in his ads to [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Louboutin-Feticha]Louboutin Feticha[/url] speak for his campaign, how can voters trust him to make the right decisions for Pennsylvania? asked Jon Thompson, press secretary for the governors association.Corbett has trailed Wolf in public opinion polls since the York businessman won the Democratic primary to become Corbett’s challenger in November. Wolf travels the state in his Jeep, which has a Twitter account, @TomWolfsJeep.An Allegheny County Republican and former state attorney general, Corbett is seeking a second term.Knotts said Benyak plays a villain in the film distributed by Troma Entertainment in New [url=http://www.alportico.net/page.php?sale=Gucci-Clothing]Gucci Clothing[/url] York. In his role, he buys women so that he and his wife can cut them up, Knotts said. When I saw him in the ad on Facebook, I thought: ‘Well, this is neat.’ Alan is a good guy. He is a popular attorney. Knotts doubts the Wolf campaign staff knew about the film. He said he would not describe it as porn. It is a horror film, Knotts said. There is no sex. There is torture and frontal nudity.

A says all the indoor marijuana growing operations springing up in Washington state could put a significant demand on the region’s power supplies. And planners are keeping a close eye on the situation.
The Northwest Power and Conservation Council is currently updating its 20-year forecast of regional electricity demand as part of the Northwest Power Plan – which it issues every five years.
Pot growing caught the attention of planners after seeing what happened in Colorado, where the explosion of growers and large scale industrial operations fueled massive energy consumption, says Tom Eckman, director of the [url=http://www.symbiose.ca/images/christianlouboutin.gwij.php]Christian Louboutin Sale[/url] council’s Power Planning Division.
Eckman says it takes the same amount of electricity to grow just four pot plants indoors as it does to power 29 refrigerators.
“You’re installing 1,000 watt lights over about every two plants and running those 16-18 hours a day to grow the product over a 10, 12, 14 week cycle. It’s a pretty significant consumption of electricity.”
The council studied a number of growers across the state earlier this summer after they were granted licenses by the Washington State [url=http://www.symbiose.ca/images/christianlouboutin.gwij.php]Christian Louboutin Outlet[/url] Liquor Control Board. It determined demand for electricity could grow between 60 and 160 average megawatts over the next few years.
“That’s significant,” Eckman says. “That’s about half of the size of a new combustion turbine gas generating plant.”
To put it in perspective, the council compared marijuana production to aluminum. And Eckman says the findings were surprising.
“It takes about 5,000 kilowatt hours to produce a kilogram of cannabis. When we were looking in history it took about 15-20 kilowatt hours to produce a kilogram of aluminum in this region.”
The demand could be far greater if other states in the region legalize marijuana as well.
While the planning process is used to determine demand and the best way to deliver more power, the council also studied ways the industry can reduce energy use by improving efficiencies.
Growers could lower electricity used by about 30 percent by increasing their use of LED lighting and high efficiency heating and ventilation systems, Eckman says.
He also says the council found energy-efficient LED systems increased the yield of two strains of pot by 6 percent, which could be a big incentive for growers.
It’s all just part of what will become an increasing focus [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/gucciusaonlineoutlet.php]gucci outlet[/url] for the council in coming years as more growers go into business. But in the end, he says while it brings some societal issues with it, the council isn’t treating marijuana any differently than a data center or other industry.
“It’s different than a lot of the other things we look at that increase electrical consumption. The Facebook data center is pretty visible in the neighborhood. And this particular agricultural growth product tends to be a little more invisible in the neighborhoods,” he says. “But still, it’s just another use.”

Enterovirus D-68 has been confirmed in many of the children hospitalized for respiratory illness in Chicago and Kansas City, Missouri, where outbreaks started last month.
Ten states, including Oklahoma, have asked the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Handbags-Eyeglass-Dress-Reading-Glasses.html]Gucci Eyeglass[/url] Prevention to help investigate suspected outbreaks.
The culprit is a rare and powerful strain of a common family of viruses. Enteroviruses are common in summer and can cause respiratory illness, fever, runny noses and rashes, but symptoms are usually mild or unnoticeable, according to the CDC.
What is unusual about this strain is how many sufferers have ended up in the hospital, said Chris Van Deusen, spokesman for the Texas Department of State Health Services.
鈥淏ecause it is less common, there鈥檚 less research and less information,鈥?he said.
Enterovirus is such a common ailment that it is not typically reported to state or federal authorities.
More than 475 children were hospitalized with suspected enterovirus late last month at Children鈥檚 Mercy [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Outlet-I-Watch-Mens-Belt-Boxers.html]Cheap Gucci Outlet[/url] Hospital in Kansas City.
A CDC sample of 22 specimens from the hospital came up with 19 positive for enterovirus D68.
Thirteen of those had previous histories of asthma or respiratory illness.
Kelly Craine, spokeswoman for the Waco-McLennan County Public Health District, said the district stays in contact with physicians, hospitals and school nurses about infectious diseases but has seen no indication of enterovirus or other flulike illnesses in circulation during the past two weeks.
Still, she said local health officials are watching the enterovirus outbreak in other states.
鈥淎ny time you have children or high-risk people presenting with those kinds of symptoms, it鈥檚 always a concern and always something we want to know about,鈥?she said.
Scott Clark, spokesman for Baylor Scott White, said the health [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Belts-Online-Handbags-Belts-Wallet-Sale.html]Gucci Handbags[/url] care system hasn鈥檛 seen any indications of an outbreak in its Central Texas facilities, including Baylor Scott White Hillcrest Medical Center in Waco.

The Oregon Ducks will face the South Dakota Coyotes on Saturday, August 30 in what seems to be 聽a tune-up game for the following week s opponent, Michigan State.
While Oregon is the heavy favorite heading into the game, the Ducks won t [url=http://www.radiorcs.com/page.php?sale=Jimmy-Choo-Logan-d-Orsay-Pump]Jimmy Choo Logan d Orsay Pump[/url] take South Dakota lightly. Expect the starters to be taken out after halftime. But as always, there will be things to note heading into the game.
Things to watch out for:
Oregon running back Royce Freeman will finally get his first carries as a Duck after having a great fall camp.
Oregon linebackers, especially the middle linebackers, against South Dakota s running back Trevor Bouma. Bouma rushed for 781 yards and three touchdowns last season for the Coyotes. While the Ducks shouldn t have any problem stopping the run against South Dakota, Oregon s rushing defense appeared nonexistent [url=http://www.radiorcs.com/page.php?sale=Kate-Spade-Jules-Wallet]Kate Spade Outlet[/url] towards the tail end last season.
Young Oregon crop of receivers Devon Allen, Chance Allen, Dwayne Stanford and Darren Carrington. This will be a great glimpse of what to see from the young talented receivers for the upcoming season.聽
Other under-the-radar players that aren t being talked about. There are always a few players that pop out of nowhere, especially in early season non-conference games, that surprise a lot of pundits with their talents.聽

On a United flight on Sunday from Newark to Denver, a passenger fed up with people reclining their seat in front of him, used a $22 device called a knee . It attaches to the tray table of the seat in front of you and prevents the person sitting there from pushing their seat back. He shouldn鈥檛 have even had it on the plane because [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/clreplicashoes.php]Christian Louboutin Outlet[/url] United and other airlines have banned the device.

Maybe it鈥檚 best if your seat doesn鈥檛 recline at all. (Kent D. Johnson/MCT)
You can probably fill in the rest. The woman in front was furious that she couldn鈥檛 exercise her God-given right to push her seat back. An airline attendant was called, voices were raised, matters got completely out of hand, and eventually the woman threw a glass of water in the guy鈥檚 face.
At that point the flight was diverted to Chicago, the two passengers were told to get off the plane and everyone else plane continued on to Denver. Nicely played everyone.
Frankly, it is tough to pick someone to root for in this spitting match. Who buys a device to lock a seat back? And how entitled do you have to be to get so upset about not being able to recline the seat that you end up getting thrown off the plane?
We can however, with certainty, identify the villain. It is United? Or, if you鈥檇 rather, every single one of those airlines that continues to cram passengers into ever-smaller spaces.
But that鈥檚 not the real problem. I think we鈥檝e all accepted the fact that airline travel has become a cattle call. That getting in and out of your narrow seat is going to require contortionist skills. Most people smile politely and make the best of the incredibly cramped conditions. That鈥檚 just the way it is.
But the reclined seat is the final indignity. Just when you鈥檝e resigned yourself to the tiny bit of air space you鈥檝e been allotted for a trip that will take hours, the person in front of you blithely flips back the seat and takes away another six to eight inches. Just try to get out of your seat [url=http://www.symbiose.ca/images/christianlouboutin.gwij.php]Christian Louboutin Sale[/url] and go to the restroom now.
This raises two questions, only one of which is fixable.
First, why do people push their seat back when they know it鈥檚 going to inconvenience the person behind them? Can鈥檛 we appeal to everyone鈥檚 better nature and say, for the good of all, that it would be better if we didn鈥檛 do that.
Sorry, the answer is no. We鈥檝e tried that. I wrote a column about this years ago, and the responses were breathtaking in their sense of entitlement. 鈥淚 NEED to recline my seat,鈥?one man wrote. 鈥淚鈥檓 TIRED.鈥?There were tons of e-mails like that. Every person who ever sat in front of me must have written in. It was a landslide of 鈥渢ough break pal, as long as the seat reclines, I鈥檓 doing it.鈥?
Which brings us to the second question: Why do the seats recline anyway? It鈥檚 not as if the short little push-back makes anyone more comfortable. It鈥檚 six inches at most. You鈥檙e still sitting upright, in a cramped position.
So why do the airlines continue to pretend this is some luxury-liner perk. It鈥檚 not only pointless, it鈥檚 profoundly annoying.
In 2003 the [url=http://www.museosangennaro.com/Public/anel.php]Cheap Christian Louboutin Shoes[/url] Washington Post wrote a on the inventor of the knee protector, who happened to be a Capitol Hill staffer. Although he said it was a simple matter of 鈥減rotection,鈥?the article made the better call. It is, the story said, 鈥渁 recipe for air rage.鈥?
Actually, that鈥檚 not the real recipe. If the seats were in a fixed, slightly reclined position, none of this would happen. The airlines are 鈥?whether they intend to or not 鈥?promoting this controversy. They can fix it in a week. Just lock up the seats so they don鈥檛 recline. Simple.
Because it鈥檚 clear the current system isn鈥檛 working. For proof let鈥檚 go back to our two passengers. They were sitting in the 鈥渆conomy plus鈥?section, where passengers pay extra for a little more for a little more leg room.
How鈥檇 that work out, United? And how鈥檇 you like the national publicity that there was a near fist fight on one of your flights? Do you think that鈥檚 going to help ticket sales?
You know that would be a smart move? Fix the seats so they don鈥檛 recline. Problem solved. You鈥檙e welcome.

SEATTLE The start of [url=http://www.museosangennaro.com/Public/anel.php] Christian Louboutin Shoes Sale[/url] school may be helping to spread a serious virus that is sending hundreds of kids to the hospital in the Midwest, and doctors say it could be heading to the Northwest.
Health officials in 10 states are reporting cases of Enterovirus 68, which is highly contagious.
鈥淲e think this virus is likely to make it to the Northwest,鈥?said Dr. Keith Jerome, head of the Virology Division at UW Medical Center. 鈥淚t seems to be affecting a lot of people so [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/michaelkorssonline.php]Michael Kors uk[/url] we`re making preparations now.鈥?
Those preparations at UW Medical Center include a lab that can test for Enterovirus 68.
鈥淭he testing that we do here is for about 20 different viruses that can all affect the lungs and airways,鈥?said Jerome. 鈥淎nd that way we can tell patients and doctors what virus they have so they can be treated appropriately.鈥?
There is no real treatment for Enterovirus, but the test can rule out other dangerous viruses [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/guccioutlet.onlinesalecc.php]Gucci Outlet Store[/url] like the flu. Doctors say it hits hard, and takes about a week to recover. It is particularly tough on kids who have asthma and other respiratory problems.
When the Los Angeles Lakers selected with the seventh overall pick in this year s draft,聽the聽immediate聽thought聽was that聽he聽would be the team s聽starting power forward, but聽could the聽addition of alter those plans?
This is the question that could be lingering all through training camp as both players could聽play聽themselves into that role. That said, this competition could prove to be beneficial to each player and most importantly the team.
Boozer is coming off arguably his worst season in his career with the Chicago Bulls with his lowest聽averages in聽points (13.7) and rebounds (8.3) since the 2003-04 season with the Cleveland Cavaliers, and posted his worst career聽field goal percentage (45.6). His struggles聽on both ends of the court became more evident as the season wore on, which resulted in head coach limiting his minutes and going with instead.
Needless to say, the 32-year-old will be motivated to revitalize his career with the Lakers, and even went as a far as stating at his introductory press conference that he absolutely expects to be a starter this season. After he was picked up by Los Angeles,聽Boozer knew immediately that he would have stiff competition in the rookie out of Kentucky for the starting job.
:
鈥淚 think first you got to get in the league and see where you fit and find a niche for yourself,鈥?Boozer said. 鈥淚 watched Randle a lot in college. He had a great, great college run. Great rebounder. Great scorer inside and polished. But sometimes you just have to be thrown in the fire and play.
Randle in his one season with Kentucky [url=http://www.radiorcs.com/page.php?sale=Kate-Spade-Randi-Rain-Boots]Kate Spade Randi Rain Boots[/url] was quite a productive player averaging 15.0 points and 10.4 rebounds per game. He also played a significant part in his team鈥檚 run through the NCAA Tournament to the national championship game. He led the nation with 24 double-doubles, which was second-most for a freshman in NCAA history聽only behind Kansas State鈥檚 , who had聽28 in the 2007-08 season.聽
He also earned him numerous awards聽such as聽being named聽SEC Freshman of the Year, All-SEC聽First Team and SEC All-Freshman team, Newcomer of the Year award, and chosen to Third Team All-America by the AP.聽Lastly and most importantly,聽he played an聽essential part in Kentucky s run through the NCAA tournament to the national championship game. This included recording a double-double in each of the first four games of the tournament, which made him just the second player聽at Kentucky and first in the last 56 years to accomplish that feat.
Randle also had a solid showing at the 2014 summer league in Las Vegas聽averaging 12.5 points and 4.3 rebounds in four games played. In those games, he displayed his ability to attack the basket [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Pink-Louboutin]Christian Louboutin For Men[/url] and聽finish with contact, rebound on both ends of the floor, and lived up to the billing as a mobile聽big man with a high motor.
That said, Boozer may still have the upper hand on the 20-year-old as he is an established player in the league with many seasons under his belt. This along with head coach stating in an interview last month that the tw0-time All-Star will be better with the presence of Randle on the team.
:
We have time to work that out, mix and match it up, see who plays better together. I think that will be fun. Let them compete. But I do think Boozer might be better with Julius just because he s a veteran guy and is talkative out there and could help him. But Jordan could too. Ed Davis is a guy that could be in that mix, so we have a lot of guys that will be fighting. He鈥檚 been known to block some shots, and won鈥檛 be a bad guy in there on the weak side to come over and help. He鈥檚 been in here most every day working out, has been really serious about it.
Scott had also stated at his introductory press conference that he did not want to put any expectations on Randle, but rather wait and let him learn the system first. However, he did indicate that Randle had plenty of talent and would聽 definitely 聽help the team.
:
I鈥檓 not going to put expectations on young fella like that. I think he has to come in here and play. He just has to come in here and play, learn the system and I think the sky鈥檚 the limit because he鈥檚 definitely very talented. To get him at seven is a steal. He was one of the top three. I love his attitude. I love the way he attacks the basket. He brings some things to the table that can definitely help us.
聽Although these statements do give the impression that聽Boozer聽could be聽in line for the聽starting power forward spot, it聽is still too early to rule out the possibility of Randle earning the聽job in training camp. It would not be a surprise to see the former Kentucky Wildcat get the nod given his talent level and what he brings to [url=http://www.radiorcs.com/page.php?sale=Jimmy-Choo-Accessories]Cheap Jimmy Choo Shoes[/url] the table for the team.
Ultimately, the decision on who聽will start聽may come down to what kind of player Boozer is entering his 13th season in the NBA. If last season is of any indication of how聽Boozer will play, then Randle would have a clear shot at聽getting the starting job. However, if Boozer can rekindle his career with Los Angeles and return to being the double-double player he was聽a couple of seasons ago that聽role could be his to lose.
Whatever the case may be, the Lakers will be the beneficiary of the increased competition as it will bring the best out of each聽player with a starting spot essentially up for grabs. That in mind, with training camp set to start later this month expect a spirited battle between Boozer and Randle, and whoever聽Scott聽names the starter will surely聽have earned it.聽

PHOENIX (September 9, 2014) Remnants of Hurricane Norbert will probably linger through Tuesday evening in Arizona, forecasters said.

The seven-time Grammy Award winner has a career spanning several decades, and has no plans of slowing down.

Knight, who rose to prominence in the early 1970 s as the front-woman for the Motown sensation Gladys Knight and the Pips, opened up about some of the young artists that are attempting to break into the music business today.
I don t envy them, coming through the industry at this time because it s a totally different industry. It is money-driven. It is power-driven. They would do anything to get famous, Knight said. We came through with a moral value, an integrity value, and a great love for what we were doing. So it helped us to do the things that we needed to do to be better.

They re doing the best that they can you have to look at the fame and fortune that they have as long as they mix in the great talent portion of it, then that s the road they they have to take in the industry these days, Knight said.

McKINNEY (September 9, 2014) A power outage shut down the Collin County Courthouse Tuesday in McKinney, delaying government proceedings for at least a day.
A message on the county’s website cited a power outage and said all county offices [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Handbags-Outlet-Vintage-Shopping-Bag-Optical.html]Gucci Shopping Bag[/url] were closed and court cases were postponed until Wednesday, when electricity should be restored.
County spokesman Tim [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Sale-Keychain-Money-Clips-Envy-Perfume.html]Gucci Keychain[/url] Wyatt says the four-story courthouse, where about 300 people work, lost power Monday night.
The issue might be with a transformer, he said.
A spokesman for electric provider Oncor says the problem involves failure of some equipment that is the customer’s responsibility.
Justin Ozuna says Oncor has disconnected power to the courthouse until [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Belts-Sale-Man-Bag-Mens-Bag-Shield-Sunglasses.html]Gucci Man Bag[/url] county officials make repairs.

MOAPA, Nev. The Southwest was mopping up Tuesday after pouring rains and flash flooding washed out part of a major rail line between Las Vegas and Salt Lake City; swelled a river so high that a Utah national park downstream was briefly shuttered; and closed a 50-mile stretch of heavily traveled Interstate 15 when soggy pavement crumbled.The cleanup began after seasonal monsoon moisture combined with the remnants of Tropical Storm Norbert to dump heavy rain throughout the Southwest and set a single-day rainfall record in Phoenix.The sun was out Tuesday in the small, southern Nevada town of Moapa In Nevada, where officials had feared that rushing water would overwhelm the banks of the swollen Muddy and Virgin rivers.”We saw it right at the cusp and it didn’t go over,” said Erin Neff, spokeswoman for the Clark County Regional Flood Control District. “It’s a near-miss.”At least 30 homes in nearby Overton were flooded, and [url=http://www.alportico.net/gosoc.php] true religion uk[/url] Clark County firefighters counted 18 rescues in the area, many involving submerged cars.”I’ve been in this area since 1978. We’ve never had water like that before,” said David Muns, a resident of Moapa, where more than four inches of rain fell in two hours.Transportation officials said a stretch of I-15 near Moapa could be closed for three to four days while they repair pavement that crumbled into slabs over muddy red dirt. One shattered section stretched for half a mile.Traffic was diverted along detours that added time and miles for the 20,000 vehicles a day that travel the highway connecting Las Vegas and Salt Lake City.Truck driver Randy Garca of Calhan, [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/clreplicashoes.php] Christian Louboutin Outlet Online[/url] Colorado, said he hit a standstill Monday afternoon and didn’t get rolling again until the next morning.”We were hungry so we set up a barbecue,” he said by phone from Cedar City, Utah.Union Pacific Railroad service was suspended while crews repaired track near Moapa that was undermined and washed out by flash flooding. Officials hoped to have the track bed and rails repaired by Wednesday for freight service to resume on the busy Las Vegas-to-Salt Lake City main line.In southern Utah, rangers at Zion National Park turned away visitors for several hours Tuesday when heavy rain and a surging river made park routes impassable. Mud, debris and a boulder blocked Route 9, the road through the main canyon.Wet weather also took its toll on neighboring states.Freeways in Phoenix became small lakes on Monday and rescuers scrambled to get drivers out of inundated cars after more than 3 inches of rain fell.”We’ve never seen this,” Mesa, Arizona, resident Greg Montierth said. “Arizona deals with sand and cactus and heat. We’re not set up for it so I can understand why everybody’s scrambling at the last minute.”Cars also were stranded near Palm Springs and in the Coachella Valley in Southern California.On an I-15 overpass in the Moapa area, police officer Shanan Kelly said he and several construction workers helped rescue a woman who was swept into rushing water from the top of her minivan.”It was very heroic and [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/guccioutlet.onlinesalecc.php]Gucci Outlet Store[/url] awesome,” Kelly said.Forty-two people were evacuated from a middle school and high school in Moapa and spent Monday night in a building at Clark County fairgrounds. Churches provided blankets, and a store and restaurant donated food before police escorted the people over the damaged I-15, according to Clark County spokeswoman Stacey Welling.About 190 people were evacuated from the Moapa Band of Paiutes reservation after tribal officials warned that waters were close to breaching a Muddy River dam. Officials were assessing damage to properties with leaky roofs and wet floors where water breached flood control channels.”We had rivers running through people’s yards. But as far as property damage to homes themselves, I think we fared pretty well,” said Sherryl Patterson, administrator at the tribal office.National Weather Service meteorologist Charlotte Dewey warned that any additional precipitation in the Southwest could quickly cause new flooding because the ground is saturated.
Associated Press writers Paul Davenport and Alina Hartounian in Phoenix, and Michelle Price in Salt Lake City contributed to this report. Rindels reported from Las Vegas.
First of all I want to say superb blog! I
had a quick question which I’d like to ask if you do not mind.
I was curious to find out how you center yourself
and clear your head before writing. I have had difficulty
clearing my mind in getting my ideas out. I truly do take pleasure in writing however
it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes tend to be wasted just
trying to figure out how to begin. Any recommendations or tips?
This works fine to help maintain warm water while cleaning but it does not heat up cold water which is why you should start with hot water from your tap.
Services can broadly be categorized as either needs
or wants, but there is some grey area of some that share attributes of both kinds.
You’ll never have to worry about high-pressure sales from Rug Doc.

Jose Calderon va 锚tre sous les ordres de Derek Fisher, ancien meneur du syst猫me en triangle que l’Espagnol va d茅couvrir 脿 New York. Pour le moment, les stats parlent en faveur de l’ancien Maverick.
En donnant les cl茅s 脿 Phil Jackson, grand manitou du [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Belts-Sale-History-Models-Black-Friday.html]Gucci History[/url] jeu en triangle, les Knicks allaient rapidement changer de style de jeu et de culture avec cette nouvelle exigence sportive.
Le Zen Master a remport茅 onze bagues en tant que Head Coach, et avec ce syst猫me si particulier qui peut faire mal, mais qui peut aussi semer la zizanie si le groupe ne se fait pas assez confiance. Pour r茅ussir sa premi猫re pleine saison 脿 la t锚te des Knicks, Jax a fait appel 脿 son ancien meneur Derek Fisher pour mener ses joueurs 脿 adopter ce syst猫me, et il est accompagn茅 notamment de Jim Cleamons, anciennement dans l 茅quipe technique de Jackson du temps des Bulls et des Lakers (5 titres NBA).
On pouvait avoir quelques doutes sur l application du triangle offensif qui s appuie aussi sur un jeu de passe soutenu, or avec un franchise player gourmand en termes de gonfle, 脿 savoir Carmelo Anthony, ce triangle pourrait rapidement montrer ses limites. Mais les Knicks peuvent aussi compenser cette gloutonnerie par l arriv茅e d un Jose Calderon plus passeur, plus mena莽ant sur les tirs ext茅rieurs, et plus s茅rieux que Raymond Felton envoy茅 脿 Dallas.
Si l on se r茅f猫re aux grandes ann茅es du triangle offensif, via notamment Basketball-Reference.com, on peut voir que les Bulls ont pu compter sur John Paxson et Steve Kerr, et les Angelinos sur Derek Fisher. On comparant les stats de ces quatre meneurs, on voit que Calderon est en mesure de donner un vrai plus 脿 ce triangle si cher 脿 Jackson.
Paxson et Kerr tournaient respectivement 脿 3,2 passes et 5 passes par rencontre, alors que Fisher n 茅tait qu 脿 3,8. Calderon quant 脿 lui est 脿 6,8 passes en carri猫re. De plus, si nous rapportons les passes de l espagnol sur 48 minutes, Calderon pourrait 锚tre 脿 l origine de plus de 37% des points de son 茅quipe. Dans ce cas de figure, Fisher serait 脿 17,4%, alors que c么t茅 Bulls c est 21% pour Paxson et seulement 15% pour Kerr. A l heure actuelle, Chris Paul est le grand gourou dans la distribution de caviars puisqu il pourrait, sur 48 minutes, 锚tre 脿 la base de 47% des passes d茅cisives de son 茅quipe. Du coup en termes de passes, [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Outlet-Shoulder-Bags-Continental-Wallet-Watchs.html]Cheap Gucci Outlet[/url] Calderon est le fournisseur id茅al pour Carmelo Anthony.
Si Kerr est connu pour avoir 茅t茅 un bon sniper de l ombre, Calderon est un vrai artilleur longue distance. Cette menace ext茅rieure est nouvelle pour les Knicks et le meneur espagnol pourra en profiter pour cr茅er les espaces et bousculer les d茅fenses adverses.
Tout cela n est que th茅orique bien entendu, mais le style de jeu de Calderon se pr锚te bien [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Belts-Sale-Womens-Shoes-Real-Shoes-Men.html]Gucci Belts Sale[/url] au triangle d attaque des Knicks. Mais il y a un b茅mol. La saison pass茅e, Calderon a d没 apprendre 脿 partager le ballon et la distribution de passes. Il a termin茅 l exercice 2013-2014 avec 11,4 points (46%, 45% 脿 3pts), mais seulement 4,7 passes par match soit son plus mauvais rendement en passe depuis sa saison rookie en 2005 (4,5).
Autre point noir, l effectif des Knicks. Si Melo est l attaquant num茅ro un de Big Apple, Calderon va aussi devoir aller chercher des tireurs comme JR Smith, ou encore des int茅rieurs comme Amar e Stoudemire, or ces joueurs sont loin du niveau de Monta Ellis ou encore de Dirk Nowitzki. Tim Hardaway pourrait profiter de l impact de Calderon, mais Smith pourrait aussi mal vivre cette situation et ruin茅 les vestiaires et donc la coh茅sion du groupe.
Si les Knicks doivent r茅ussir, cela passera forc茅ment par le jeu de Calderon.
It s almost the day that all Oregon Duck football fans have been waiting for.
On Saturday, September 6, the No. 3 Oregon Ducks will face off with the No. 7 Michigan State Spartans in a clash between a high temp offense and a stout defense.
Saturday s match up will be a true showing of how good each team really is and will [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Christian-Louboutin-Site]Christian Louboutin Site[/url] likely set the tone for the remaining season.
Here are five things to watch for in the game.
Oregon s fast tempo offense versus Michigan State s stout defense. How will Oregon s spread offense do against the bigger Michigan State defense front? In recent past years, Oregon s offense has been slowed by bigger teams at the line of scrimmage. Saturday will show whether that trend continues or [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Tory-Burch-Gold-Clutch]Tory Burch Gold Clutch[/url] not for the Ducks. 聽
Oregon s defensive front against Michigan State s running attack. The Spartans are strong up front at offensive line and will most likely try to mimic Stanford s game plan of running the ball of the last few years.
Marcus Mariota against Michigan State s secondary. The Spartans are headlined by cornerback Trae Waynes and safety Kurtis Drummond. Drummond made 1st team All Big Ten while Waynes will fill the role of recent NFL first round pick Darqueze Dennard.
Marcus Mariota and his Oregon records in reach. He needs just one passing touchdown to be the career leader in total passing touchdowns in Oregon football history. Mariota also is just 22 yards short of total offensive yards from setting the UO record at 8,141 total yards.
Michigan State s running back Jeremy Langford not playing at one-hundred percent health. Against Jacksonville State, Langford was taken out twice with an ankle injury. Although Langford is expected the play against Oregon, not having him at one-hundred [url=http://www.radiorcs.com/page.php?sale=Kate-Spade-Shopper]Kate Spade Shopper[/url] percent helps Oregon s chances at slowing down the run.

Lakes CLEAR (Pierce) : Folks looking for a change from trolling, can try anchoring in water about 45 feet deep. Look for fish 25-30 feet [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/michaelkorssonline.php] michael kors handbags[/url] down. Use a small orange still-fishing spinner tipped with a maggot and a red egg. HARTS: A few crappie are being caught. Try using a red- or yellow-and-white crappie jig. People are catching yellow perch using a worm fished under a bobber. The catfish action has been slowed by warm water, but should pick up soon. LEECH: The trout action has been good to very good. Brook and rainbow trout are hitting scud, Carey Special, mayfly emerger, bloodworm and caddis patterns. The best surface action has been midday. MINERAL: The trout action has improved. Most people are still fishing off the bottom. Use a combination of a worm, marshmallow and a Power Egg on a 4-foot leader. RATTLESNAKE: The fishing has improved as the cool nights have lowered the water temperature. Try fishing black or maroon leeches in the deep portions of the lake. WASHINGTON: The fishing has been good in the waters of Magnuson Park in Seattle. People are catching lots of yellow perch and rock bass, and the smallmouth bass action has been very good as well.Rivers COWLITZ: The action has been fair, based on state creel sampling. Anglers are landing a mix of chinook, coho and steelhead, but the numbers of fish have not been great. GREEN: This has been one of the best rivers right now for consistent catches of nice, bright coho. Anglers are having success fishing in the morning with eggs. PUYALLUP: Some fish [url=http://www.symbiose.ca/images/christianlouboutin.gwij.php]Christian Louboutin Outlet[/url] are being caught, but the action is far from red hot. SNOHOMISH: People making the drive north had some success over the weekend. Most people are drifting jigs under a bobber, while others are using spoons. YAKIMA: The fly action has been very good in recent days. Look for the trout holding in seams and pools in the middle of the river, now that flows are low. There have been hatches of caddis, yellow mayflies and crane flies. Terrestrial patterns like grasshoppers, ants and beetles also are effective.Salt water FLY FISHING: The beach action is starting to pick up as the coho are returning, especially along the eastside of Puget Sound at spots like Browns Point and Dash Point. Some fish also are being caught in the Tacoma Narrows. Try using bright, sparse flies 3-4 inches long, such as a stinger Clouser. SEKIU: The coho fishing has been good since the weekend. NORTH SOUND: Daniel Lejnieks won the Edmonds Coho Derby s $5,000 first prize with an 11.15-pound fish. There were 331 fish weighed in during Saturday s derby. SOUTH SOUND: People are catching far more coho than chinook in [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/gucciusaonlineoutlet.php] cheap gucci[/url] the Tacoma area, just not in great numbers according to state creel sampling. The salmon fishing in the Olympia area has been slow. WESTPORT: The action since the weekend has been mostly for coho. Charter boats are running north about 15 miles from the harbor mouth, then heading west about 8 miles in water about 150 feet deep. The tuna action has slowed as the fish have moved south and far offshore for now.

I totally agree with Donna M. Myers鈥?recent letter about Gov. Rick Perry. His arrogance and his [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Discount-Mens-Loafers-Guilty-Jordans.html]Gucci Discount[/url] feeling exempt from the law are an embarrassment to this state. After all, he now has fame, fortune and power. It appears that he鈥檚 deeply infected with narcissism, particularly with his new designer glasses, almost as if he were Clark Kent.
If Perry makes another run for president of the United States, let鈥檚 see if his high-paid attorneys, fame, money and eyeglasses provide him with Supermanlike strength to fly past all barriers and land in the White House.

Wrong priority
I am stunned and saddened after reading the recent article about the city鈥檚 requesting $2 million to fund the local animal clinic. First of all, improving the care of animals is a noble endeavor. But please do that with private donations, not my tax dollars.
If $2 million is raised, I request that it be used for such wonderful endeavors as [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Belts-Sale-Com-Shoes-Outlet-Locations-Outlet.html]Gucci Belts Sale[/url] Mission Waco, Caritas, Family Abuse Center, Grace House and other facilities and services that help homeless, impoverished and abused people. Animals are nice to have and we should be kind to them, but people are much more important to feed and care for and house. And $2 million would go a long way toward helping people who are really struggling.
And, incidentally, I am a pet parent myself.

Speaking in the aftermath of [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/gucciusaonlineoutlet.php]gucci outlet[/url] events in Ferguson, Gov. Jay Nixon stated: 鈥淭o get justice it has to be transparent justice, it has to be thorough justice.鈥滺e was right. His assertion should apply in all cases, including, maybe even especially, in the administration of the death penalty.Missourians, as well as the men to be executed and their families, have an absolute right to know the truth about the execution process. Instead, Missouri鈥檚 Department of Corrections has misled the public and obstructed access to the truth. Appointed by the governor and represented by the attorney general, these public officials must be held accountable for transparent, thorough justice.Last week, the Post-Dispatch reported on a St. Louis Public Radio story exposing misrepresentations and possible perjury by state officials in court cases concerning executions in Missouri. The state has executed nine men in the past nine months. The 10th execution is set for 12:01 a.m. Wednesday. Unless the court or Gov. Nixon intervenes, Earl Ringo Jr. will be executed with a process that is intentionally and grossly deceptive, and in some ways, unlawful.The recent series of botched executions of three inmates in Ohio, Oklahoma and Arizona had one common thread 鈥?the use of a drug called midazolam or Versed, a powerful sedative that is frequently injected as an anesthetic before surgery. According to the public radio report, large doses of the drug can obstruct the airway, suffocating the inmate, or can cause an immense amount of pain, paralyzing the inmate, making it impossible for him to alert anyone to his pain. The use of midazolam was involved in the recent agonizing and prolonged deaths of Dennis McGuire, Clayton Lockett and Joseph Woods.For the past year, Missouri officials have repeatedly insisted, at times under oath, that Missouri does not use midazolam in executions. DOC Director George Lombardi stated under oath: 鈥淚鈥檓 testifying right now to tell you that will not be the case. We will not use those drugs.鈥漁ne glaring problem: It was a lie.The public radio report relied on DOC internal documents that revealed midazolam had been used in all nine of Missouri鈥檚 most recent executions. Even more troubling, the drug apparently has been administered intravenously and before the time the executions were scheduled.What鈥檚 more, it appears that the drug is being injected while the inmate is affixed to the gurney and the curtains are closed. In other words, the inmate may be suffering immensely, or could even be comatose and already dying, before the legal warrant to execute is in effect 鈥?and before [url=http://www.symbiose.ca/images/christianlouboutin.gwij.php]Christian Louboutin Outlet[/url] witnesses are able to witness anything.This is not the first disturbing revelation to emerge recently about the DOC鈥檚 execution policies. In January, it became clear that DOC officials were carrying bags of cash across state lines to purchase execution drugs. Moreover, the DOC has admitted publicly that it buys its pentobarbital from an unregulated compounding pharmacy, a clear violation of federal drug law.Despite this, no one has investigated these apparent violations. In public statements, Attorney General Chris Koster has claimed that the courts have approved Missouri鈥檚 execution protocol. But that also is not true. In fact, no court has ever conducted any substantive review of Missouri鈥檚 execution process. Koster has consistently blocked such review. And now we know that the court itself has been lied to.Gov. Mary Fallin of Oklahoma, a strong supporter of the death penalty, has announced a moratorium on executions in her state until a complete investigation takes place surrounding the use of midazolam in the execution process. Ohio may soon follow suit. Gov. Nixon should do likewise.One famous Missourian kept a sign on his desk: 鈥淭he buck stops here.鈥?Gov. Nixon should endorse the maxim that defined President Harry Truman鈥檚 role as chief executive and take a stand. He should [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/guccioutlet.onlinesalecc.php]Gucci Outlet Store[/url] show leadership, courage and a faithful embrace and extension of the promise he made about Ferguson.Nixon should stop the execution of Earl Ringo and not allow his DOC execution team to hide behind word games, muddled timelines or smokescreens. He should not rely on the court or anyone else to perform his duty and responsibility for delivering transparent and thorough justice.Joan Bray served a total of 18 years in the Missouri Senate and the Missouri House of Representatives.

Matthew Smiley, 18, of Kingston, appeared in Kitsap County Superior District Court [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/guccioutlet.onlinesalecc.php]Gucci Shoes[/url] Monday. (Photo: KCPQ-TV)
PORT ORCHARD, Wash. The Kitsap County Sheriff s Office said Tuesday it had arrested four people for allegedly threatening witnesses in their case against 18-year-old Matthew Smiley, who is accused of threatening to shoot up Kingston High School.
Three of the arrests occurred between 12:30 p.m. and 1:30 p.m. Tuesday at Kingston High School. The fourth arrest occurred in Bremerton around 3:30 p.m., the sheriff s office said.
Sheriff鈥檚 detectives became aware of the threats to witnesses from NK School District officials earlier today and initiated the follow-up investigation. Specific threats to harm several individuals were made via social media, the sheriff s office said.
Smiley appeared in Kitsap County District Court on Monday, where a [url=http://www.symbiose.ca/images/christianlouboutin.gwij.php]Christian Louboutin Outlet[/url] judge set bail at $2 million for the former Kingston High student.
According to the sheriff s office, an investigation was started last Thursday after a 911 call made by Kingston High School security officers, who reported that witnesses had contacted them and said a former student had voiced threats to others that, One of these days I m gonna walk in and shoot up the school.
The threats to cause violence at KHS were reportedly made on more than one occasion. Witnesses also reported that the young man had access to firearms [url=http://www.alportico.net/prodotti/christianlouboutin-sale.jkmsw.php]Christian Louboutin Replica[/url] and had displayed these weapons as a point of emphasis, the sheriff s office said.
Deputies and detectives learned that the suspect, Smiley, had been expelled from the high school during the 2013 鈥?2014 academic year for trying to sell marijuana.
The suspect was booked into Kitsap County Jail on charges of felony harassment and unlawful possession of a firearm.

Steven Sotloff
(CNN) The family of slain American hostage Steven Sotloff believes ISIS paid as much as $50,000 to rebels who alerted the militant group that the journalist had entered Syria, a spokesman told CNN.
The family had learned from sources on the ground that a member of a moderate rebel group reached out to ISIS, Barak Barfitold told CNN s Anderson Cooper 360 on Monday.
Somebody at the border crossing made a phone call to ISIS, and they set up a fake checkpoint with many people, Barfi said. Steve and his people that he went in with could not escape.
Barfi said the tipster was one of the so-called moderate rebels that people want our administration to support.
So how much was the tip worth?
Sotloff s whereabouts were sold for something between $25- and $50,000, Barfi said.
False accusations
Sotloff, a 31-year-old freelance journalist, disappeared during a reporting trip to Syria in August 2013. Barfi said last saw his friend off the morning he disappeared.
Minutes before he was kidnapped, he called me from inside Syria to tell me that he was in, Barfi said.
Sotloff was supposedly turned over because his name was on a list of people responsible for a hospital bombing, his friend said.
This was false. Activists spread his name around, Barfi told Cooper.
In fact, Steve [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Handbags-Outlet-Eyewear-Catalog-Polo-Shirts-T-Shirts.html]Gucci Handbags Outlet[/url] loved the Arab and Islamic world, and he wanted to bring their suffering to the world stage, Barfi said. He believed that everybody was created equal, and the people in the Arab and Islamic world weren t terrorists, they were just people like you and me.
Was the beheading preventable?
The gruesome video of an ISIS militant decapitating Sotloff spurred international outrage at ISIS, the Islamist terror group that refers to itself as the Islamic State. The group is trying to establish strict Islamist rule over swaths of Syria and Iraq and has captured cities in [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Sale-Online-Travel-Bag-Gold-Watch-Bracelet.html]Gucci Travel Bag[/url] both countries.
But that video wasn t the first time Sotloff was featured in an ISIS message.
Sotloff appeared in the earlier decapitation video of James Foley, another American journalist who was beheaded by an ISIS militant. In that video, a militant said Sotloff s life depended on what President Barack Obama did next.
Once Steve appeared in that video, the Sotloff family made one simple request of the administration and they were rebuffed on that, Barfi told CNN. He declined to elaborate on the request, citing the safety of those who are still being held hostage.
He said the relationship between the Sotloff family and the White House was very strained.
We do not believe they gave us the cooperation (the family needed), he said.
National Security Council spokeswoman Caitlin Hayden said the administration is still committed to the cases of Sotloff and Foley.
We understand the very real pain the Sotloff family is feeling at this time. Our thoughts and prayers are with them as they grieve Steven s loss, Hayden said.
We condemn the murders of Steven and Jim Foley and we remain committed to bringing the perpetrators of these crimes to justice.
But Barfi also lamented the release of information about an unsuccessful U.S. commando raid this summer that attempted to free Foley, Sotloff and others.
We know that the intelligence community and the White House are enmeshed in a larger game of bureaucratic infighting, and Jim and Steve are pawns in that game. And that s not fair, Barfi said.
If there continues to be leaks, the Sotloff family will have to speak out to set the record straight.
Up to $10 million reward
A group of bipartisan senators introduced a bill Monday that would authorize up to $10 million for information leading to the arrest and conviction of anyone involved in the Foley [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Handbags-Outlet-Used-Bags-Totes-Sale-Shoes.html]Gucci Handbags Outlet[/url] and Sotloff abductions and beheadings.
James Foley and Steven Sotloff nobly risked their lives in the pursuit of truth, and the United States will not stand idly by after two of its own were brutally murdered at the hands of fundamentally evil and freedom-hating extremists, Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Florida, said in a statement.
Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, D-New Hampshire, echoed that sentiment.
James and Steven contributed greatly to the world through their reporting, and we must vigorously pursue those responsible for their murders.
I think this is among the most vital information for me.
And i’m glad reading your article. But want to remark on few general things,
The website style is wonderful, the articles is really excellent :
D. Good job, cheers
You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I in finding this
matter to be really something which I feel I’d by no means understand.
It seems too complicated and extremely vast for me.
I am having a look ahead for your subsequent post, I’ll attempt to get the hang of it!

The issues with diagnosis, care and costs related to Alzheimer s disease are as difficult to solve as they are troubling. But wandering can be mitigated, simply and inexpensively, through programs that are now being used in some Maine communities and should be considered elsewhere.
One of these programs, known as , is coming to four central Maine communities. Now being used by police and sheriff s departments in Waldo and Knox counties, the program gives [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/gucciusaonlineoutlet.php] cheap gucci[/url] police access to information about local residents who are believed by their relatives to be in danger of wandering. If that person disappears, police can instantly call up and disseminate photographs and personal and medical information, allowing for a faster, more effective search.
The Wanderers Database is not the only help available. In June, police in Auburn and Ogunquit began using the national Project Lifesaver program, in which the person at risk for wandering wears a bracelet that emits a radio signal.
There are GPS-based systems, as well, such as Comfort Zone, a program through the Alzheimer s Association that allows families and caregivers to locate wanderers using a wearable device and a Web-based mapping program. And there are more low-tech options, such as the MedicAlert SafeReturn program, which helps track people down using an ID bracelet connected to a national hotline.
But The Wanderers Database, and others like it, puts the information directly in [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/michaelkorssonline.php] michael kors bags[/url] the hands of police, who are in the best position to conduct a search and spread the word to nearby communities.
And the programs are not just suitable for people with dementia. They can all be used for children diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder, who also are prone to wander.
In fact, the Autism Society of Maine suggests that parents who have a child on the autism spectrum pre-emptively provide emergency responders with specific information about how to approach their child if he or she goes missing. That is the same information provided to police through The Wanderers Database, except in the latter case it is electronic, and thus easy to access and distribute to responders in the field during an emergency.
Alzheimer s disease must be reckoned with in the coming years, in Maine as much as anywhere else. The number of Alzheimer s cases in Maine, the nation s oldest state, is expected to increase by in the next six years alone.
That comes [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/clreplicashoes.php]Christian Louboutin Shoes Sale[/url] with many long-term challenges, from attracting enough caregivers to figuring out how to pay for the astronomical Medicare costs associated with the disease. But with the tracking programs so readily available, the danger, and the anguish, presented by wandering can be abated now.

Don t starting labelling Saudi Arabia as the green savior just yet. In order to reduce their reliance on imported diesel, they are also making big investments in petroleum refineries. At the heart of Saudi Arabia s solar boom is the (SASIA), whose goal is to make the Kingdom 鈥渙ne of the most energy advantaged countries in the world.鈥?
This trend is actually spreading all over the Midde East with companies like Israel [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Belts-Sale-Polo-Shirt-Pour-Homme-Womens-Sneakers.html]Womens Gucci Sneakers[/url] s also aiming to reduce or eliminate the use of diesel generators in the city of Haifa. The company seeks not only to increase the amount of solar tech in Israel, but [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Belts-Online-Sale-Online-Polo-Www-Shoes-Com.html]Gucci Polo[/url] to also export the technology to other markets like South Africa.
However back in Saudi Arabia, the need for solar energy is growing. According to SASIA, almost 25 percent of the Saudi grid is powered by diesel and the Kingdom spends over $1 billion on imported diesel. Not only that, but these generators are located in remote regions so added costs are incurred transporting fuel around the country.
In doesn t take much to realize that the solar potential for a country like Saudi Arabia is massive. Speaking to , founder Jigar Shah said: Saudi Arabia could easily be one of the largest solar [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Handbags-Wallet-Women-Diamond-Watches-New-Perfume.html]Gucci Diamond Watches[/url] markets in the world.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi has strongly come out in support of net neutrality, asking the FCC to ban so-called Internet fast lanes by regulating broadband as a telecommunications service under Title II.
I oppose special Internet fast lanes, only open to those firms large enough to pay big money or fraught [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Outlet-Online-Glasses-Satchel-Bag-Computer-Bag.html]Gucci Outlet Online[/url] enough to give up big stakes in their company , the California Democrat said in a to FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler, adding that the Title II is an appropriate tool to refine modern rules, and will prevent the agency from overburdening broadband providers.
Pelosi also noted that Title II designation would not only let the FCC better prevent fraud on people s bills, but would also allow the agency to ensure that Web-based phone and video calls and other data will reach their destination without interference . She also insisted that net neutrality rules should apply to wireless [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Handbags-Outlet-Outlets-Winter-Hats-Belt.html]Gucci Handbags Outlet[/url] carriers too.
Although many other lawmakers including Al Franken, Ed Markey, and more have already voiced their support for net neutrality, Pelosi is the highest ranking democrat, and her position will definitely put more political pressure on Wheeler. However, if the FCC goes ahead and uses the Title II option, the move will likely not go down well with large internet companies, which have strong lobbying force in Washington.
The agency is currently accepting public comments on [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Outlet-Online-Joy-Tote-Luggage-Hats.html]Gucci Hats[/url] its proposal for new rules on net neutrality, and the period for reply comments on the proposal closes next Monday.

Competitive gaming, or eSports, is bigger than ever. Valve recently partnered with ESPN to air coverage of back in July with $10 million in prizes up for grabs. Even [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Handbags-Outlet-Com-Sale-Backpack-Men-C.html]Gucci C[/url] still, however, eSports aren t thought of as a real sport according to ESPN president John Skipper.
During a recent , the executive likened eSports to chess and checkers by that, he means it s a competition, not a sport. Skipper followed up by saying he is mostly interested in doing real sports.
To put the comments into context, they came as a result of someone asking him to comment on . One might expect such comments in retaliation from, say, that was also vying for the acquisition. But for ESPN to say that is a [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Sale-Jackie-Bag-Book-Bag-Tee-Shirts.html]Gucci Tee Shirts[/url] bit bizarre.
Following the successful broadcast of the Dota 2 tournament in mid-July which surpassed expectations across the board, rumors circulated that ESPN was looking to expand its eSports coverage. The source for said rumor indicated the network was in advanced talks with Major League Gaming to possibly cover MLG s Call of Duty competitions.
Personal opinions aside, there s no doubt a ton of money to be made from eSports. Sure, gaming tournaments likely wouldn t bring in the kind of ratings one would expect from college football, the NFL, the NBA and other major sporting events but given ESPN s vast number [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Discount-Real-Belts-Bikini-Makeup-Bag.html]Gucci Bikini[/url] of channels, I m sure they could find a few empty slots to fill out their lineup.

It came down to two players this week, one who showed us all that he is who we thought he is. The other wound up proving to us that is more than we may have expected.
The runner up this week is , who played with determination and was effective almost every time he touched the ball. He had 118 yards on 22 carries. And this is not a statistic [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Handbags-Outlet-Vintage-Shopping-Bag-Optical.html]Gucci Optical[/url] that was padded by one or two breakaway runs. The longest carry he had was for 15 yards. No, Murray was getting good, effective yards almost every time he touched the ball.
Of course, he also had one very, very bad play, when the ball was torn from his arms and run in for a touchdown by the 49ers. That play, just 54 seconds into the game, was certainly a shock to the Cowboys, and turned out to be the beginning of flood of first quarter miscues. Murray also was part of two other sequences that contributed to the general malaise that afflicted Dallas, although his involvement was in how he was not used.聽, the second-and-one call at SF 2 yard line. Had the Cowboys done the smart thing, not the clever thing, and fed Murray the ball, the game would likely have been tied. Then, in the second quarter, with first and goal at the 5, Dallas again went to the pass and it led to an interception. Even on their second touchdown play late in the game, Dallas was passing from the 2 yard line rather than running it in. Murray continues to prove what he can do – to everyone, it seems, but the coaching staff, who apparently doubt his ability at crucial [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Sale-Wedding-Shoes-Mens-Sunglasses-Luggage-Sets.html]Gucci Wedding Shoes[/url] moments.
So the game ball goes to another player, one who there were many doubts about going into the game, but who answered them with hard, effective play and some bone-jarring hits. The first BTB game ball of 2014 goes to middle linebacker , who tied with for the team lead in tackles at eight. More to the point, he clearly answered the questions about his motivations. His play was not perfect, but he showed up in聽 as Dallas’ second-highest rated defensive player (behind ). More importantly was the way he leveled a couple of people coming through the line. His talent was never questioned, but many had strong doubts that McClain really had his head straight after retiring from football twice. Instead, he looked and played for much of the game like he was the best athlete and player on the field for Dallas’ defense.
On Sunday, he looked like he was fully committed to playing the game. He even had to play the nickel after Justin Durant went out with a groin strain. His performance overall looked to be about as much as the Cowboys could want from someone having to step in to cover for the injured Sean Lee. Dallas looks to have found a keeper, and the question about what to do at the Mike position is answered. In a game that left so many [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Handbags-Outlet-Stores-Online-Sale-Winter-Hat.html]Gucci Outlet Stores[/url] other questions unanswered, and even brought up a couple of new ones, the emphatic way McClain took care of the questions around him and his position earn him the Game Ball for the first game of 2014.

Transf茅r茅 de Cleveland 脿 Minnesota dans le cadre du trade de Kevin Love, Anthony Bennett est tr猫s excit茅 脿 l’id茅e de jouer avec sa nouvelle 茅quipe.
Consid茅r茅 comme l un des pires num茅ros 1 de la draft, Anthony Bennett souhaite montrer 脿 la terre enti猫re, du moins 脿 tous les fans de basket, qu il n est pas le joueur balourd et maladroit qu il 茅tait la saison pass茅e. En m茅forme, bless茅 et critiqu茅 parce qu il avait 茅t茅 choisi en premi猫re position de la draft, Bennett n 茅tait pas dans les meilleures dispositions pour attaquer sa saison de rookie et au [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Discount-Clothing-Line-Envy-Me-Mens-Jewelry.html]Gucci Discount[/url] final, tout au long de la saison, l ancien joueur d UNLV a jou茅 脿 l envers.
Encha卯nant les z茅ro point茅s, les DNP, Anthony Bennett a montr茅 ses limites 脿 s adapter au jeu de la NBA. Peu aid茅 par le coaching de Mike Brown et pas franchement soutenu par les fans et les dirigeants, le num茅ro 1 de la Draft 2013 s est renferm茅 sur lui-m锚me et s est mis peu 脿 peu encore plus de pressions. La venue de Kevin Love qui a forc茅 son d茅part 脿 Minnesota est, selon les dires du joueur rapport茅 par une bouff茅e d air frais .
En effet pourquoi rester dans une franchise o霉 il n est pas d茅sir茅 ? Aux [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Sale-Bags-Cheap-Buy-Belt-Shoe-Repair.html]Cheap Gucci Sale[/url] Wolves, Bennett pourra relancer sa carri猫re. Preuve de sa bonne foi, l ancien joueur des Cavaliers a travaill茅, s est remis en forme (茅paule remise, probl猫mes respiratoires oubli茅s) et est apparu cet 茅t茅. Volontaire et rassurant quant 脿 son niveau de jeu, le Canadien prouve qu il n est pas le genre de joueur que l on a vu la saison pass茅e.
Ce qui est s没r, c est que Bennett n aura aucun mal 脿 faire oublier sa saison catastrophique puisqu il tournait la saison pass茅e 脿 4,2 points et 3 rebonds par match. Cette ann茅e et au sein d une 茅quipe qui reste tr猫s jeune avec la pr茅sence de Andrew Wiggins, Zach Lavine, Ricky Rubio, Bennett aura un r么le majeur en tant que back-up de Thaddeus Young et pourra 茅voluer sans pression, puisque l 茅quipe est plus ou moins attendue en playoffs. Cela lui permettra de reprendre confiance en [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Sale-Authentic-Wholesale-Heels-Phone.html]Gucci Phone[/url] lui et de d茅marrer enfin sa carri猫re.

LYONS, Colo. (CBS4) Nearly one year after historic flooding Colorado state leaders celebrated reaching a major milestone in the recovery effort.
Gov. John Hickenlooper, Rep. Cory Gardner and Sen. Mark Udall were among state leaders to officially reopen U.S. Highway 36 at Longmont Dam Road Monday morning.
U.S. Highway 36 open on Monday morning (credit: CBS)
The flooding that began nearly a year ago will be forever etched in Colorado history. But what will also endure [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Belts-Sale-Glasses-Wristlets-Usa.html]Gucci Usa[/url] is the story of how Coloradans responded, Hickenlooper said in a statement.
Flooding last September washed away stretches of the road between Lyons and Estes Park.
It s the first of more than 20 flood-related repair projects the Colorado Department of Transportation is working on. Construction is nearly complete, but still expect some road closures along Highway 36 through the end of September.
Engineers say the floods taught them a lesson see where the river wants to flow and design the roads around it.
The idea behind this design is to push into the mountain, elevate it in [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Handbags-Stroller-Baby-Clothes-Discount-Purses.html]Gucci Baby Clothes[/url] some cases, but basically have it sit on bedrock, Project Engineer Chris Boespflug said.
According to the governor s office, the floods affected 24 counties and covered more than 2,000 square miles, causing approximately $3 billion in damage. The [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Outlet-Online-Flats-Cufflinks-Bookbags.html]Gucci Flats[/url] state s infrastructure sustained approximately $1.7 billion of the damage.
The floods were responsible for 10 deaths and displaced more than 18,000 people.
We are committed to a 100-percent recovery for local communities. It will take time, but working together with our local, state and federal partners we will continue to build back better and stronger, Hickenlooper said in a statement.
A day of service is planned for the 1-year anniversary of the floods this Saturday where people are encouraged to volunteer on rebuilding projects.

This is really interesting, You are a very skilled

I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own blog and was
wondering what all is required to get set up? I’m

Lee, on a two-day trade mission to Mexico City, will announce Tuesday the launch of LatinSF, an economic development program designed to promote business ties between San Francisco and Latin America.
The aim is to attract Latin American businesses to San Francisco and help local companies [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/michaelkorssonline.php] michael kors outlet[/url] expand into Mexico, Central America and South America.
The program, a joint initiative between the city and San Francisco Chamber of Commerce, is modeled on ChinaSF, which has brought more than 45 Chinese companies to San Francisco since it was founded in 2008.
Lee sees San Francisco not only as an attractive technology hub for Latin American companies, but also as a gateway to Asian markets for those businesses.
鈥淭his is part of an expanded international economic outreach plan鈥?that will only bolster the city鈥檚 status as a 鈥済lobal gateway,鈥?Lee said before he departed for Mexico on Sunday.
San Francisco is not necessarily trying to supplant Miami, the long-standing U.S. nexus for Latin American business, or other hubs, like Houston and Los Angeles.
Instead, the focus is on attracting business interests tied to the Bay Area鈥檚 leading industries 鈥?tech, bio-tech and clean energy 鈥?while opening up a region with a growing consumer class to San Francisco companies.
Lee is to make the announcement at Silicon Valley Day in Mexico City, a conference organized by San Francisco technology companies such as customer service聽 software company Zendesk.
鈥淚nterest in Latin America keeps growing within San Francisco technology companies, and this event is proof of it,鈥澛?Fernando Franco, trade and investment deputy commissioner at ProMexico, that country鈥檚 foreign trade and investment agency, posted in comments online.
LatinSF is primarily focused on Mexico, Chile, Colombia and Peru 鈥?members of the Pacific Alliance trade bloc 鈥?as well as Brazil and Argentina, said Una Fannon, San Francisco鈥檚 director of international business development.
鈥淚t鈥檚 a growing region right on our doorstep,鈥?Fannon said.
Getting there is not necessarily that easy though. San Francisco International Airport has nonstop flights to Mexico but currently none to South America. That could change if there is more business demand for routes.
鈥淟atinSF will improve connections to the region,鈥?Fannon said. 鈥淚t鈥檚 a chicken-and-the-egg problem. You have to build the business need to make it attractive to the airlines.鈥?
San Francisco taxpayers are kicking in $100,000 [url=http://www.alportico.net/gosoc.php] true religion outlet[/url] for the initiative, with the private sector expected to match that. So far,聽 the Mita Institute and Tech Accelerator has committed $15,000, [url=http://www.museosangennaro.com/Public/wdluk.php]Louboutin Shoes Outilet[/url] and Aeromexico has donated two free flights for the program, a city official said.
Unlike ChinaSF, which has an office in Beijing and Shanghai, no overseas office is planned yet for LatinSF, which will operate out of space from the Chamber of Commerce.
San Francisco has identified a director for the program but would not yet release the person鈥檚 name. He or she is expected to start in 鈥渁 month or so,鈥?Fannon said.
While in Mexico, Lee met with U.S. Ambassador Anthony Wayne on Monday to discuss the influx of undocumented youth. Lee is also meeting Mexican business leaders from the financial and technology sectors.
Lee is not the only U.S. politician with eyes on Mexico.
President Obama earlier this year made his fifth trip to Mexico as president. Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was there last week, as was potential rival 2016 presidential candidate Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey. Gov. Jerry Brown and Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti each visited earlier this year.

The Oakland Raiders open their 2014 season on Sunday in New York, visiting the Jets, and their season, as well as the mid-term future of the franchise, lies squarely in the hands of rookie quarterback .
After consecutive 4-12 seasons, head coach and general manager are under the gun from fans and an increasingly impatient owner to not only show marked improvement, but to contend for a playoff spot. It鈥檚 a tough situation to be in, and one made tougher when handing the most difficult job in sports to an inexperienced player.
Shining in preseason
Carr was taken in the second round of the 2014 NFL Draft by the Raiders, with the intention that he would become well-seasoned with a couple of years of understudy duties behind newly acquired quarterback Matt Schaub. As typical with Raiders teams of the recent past, the plan didn鈥檛 exactly work out.
Schaub struggled to make an impression in the preseason, and ended camp sidelined with a sore elbow, eerily reminiscent to the Raiders鈥?failed experiment with quarterback Matt Flynn last season. Given an opportunity, Carr shined in the final preseason game against the Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks, completing 11 of 13 passes for 143 yards and three touchdowns.
With that single performance, Carr elevated himself to be the first rookie starter in Raiders history, and the first of the rookie signal callers this year to get the call for their [url=http://www.alportico.net/page.php?sale=Gucci-Stores]Gucci Stores[/url] teams.
All in
It used to be rookie quarterbacks took their lumps early in their career 鈥?for years, the prevalent thought around the league was to gently groom quarterbacks over several years (see Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay Packers). Recently, the rookie-year successes of quarterbacks like Andy Dalton (Cincinnati Bengals), Andrew Luck (Indianapolis Colts), and Robert Griffin III (Washington Redskins) have changed the minds of many football coaches and general managers.
For Allen and McKenzie, this might be their final opportunity to prove to Raiders owner Mark Davis that they are the minds to lead the franchise on the field. For two years in a row now, they鈥檝e brought in new quarterbacks that have not panned out as expected. Their reputations as evaluators of talent are on the line. If they miss with Carr, it would be three strikes at football鈥檚 most important position, and 鈥淗elp Wanted鈥?signs will be posted at Raiders headquarters.
Pedigree
Carr has the raw tools to succeed at the position, mainly an NFL-caliber rifle for an arm, with the ability to make every throw on the field, and the velocity to put the ball in tight windows, accurately.
What Carr will have to prove is an ability to handle pressure. The big when he speared Fresno State鈥檚 pass-happy attack was his poise under pressure and blitzes, where he showed a tendency to bail out of plays, throw off his back foot and lose accuracy.
With the mental aspect of the game, and in particular the game planning and preparation, Carr benefits greatly from the experience [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Saks-Louboutin]Saks Louboutin[/url] of his older brother, David Carr, a former No. 1聽overall pick by Schaub鈥檚 old team, the Houston Texans.
David Carr ultimately washed out in Houston, the victim of a poor team with a horrible offensive line 鈥?he was sacked an NFL-record 76 times in his rookie season. But he eventually experienced what a winning approach looked and felt like, serving as a backup to Eli Manning and the New York Giants on the way to their Super Bowl XLVI victory.
David鈥檚 mentoring of Derek is a benefit, and the Raiders will certainly benefit from the 23-year old Derek approaching the game at wise-beyond-his-years level of maturity and polish. But, will that be good enough?
A tough opening test
The New York Jets defense is no longer the intimidating force it once was, but it still poses a strong test for the Raiders offense and Carr. Plus, first game jitters on the road are nothing to overlook, as well as a three-time zone jump to the east coast.
The [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Michael-Kors-Golden-Oversized-Runway-Watch]Michael Kors Golden Oversized Runway Watch[/url] Raiders will look to have Carr manage the game and get the team into the fourth quarter with a chance to win the game. It won鈥檛 all be on Carr, as the defense needs to do its job, and Carr鈥檚 line and running game need to show up strong too.
Most every NFL game comes down to a handful of plays that make a difference. If Carr can keep the Raiders in it by eliminating mistakes, and come through with a key play or two late, he just may be setting the stage for a Raiders resurgence.
It will take more than one game to give Carr a full evaluation, but for now, for Week One, Carr has the full faith of Allen, McKenzie and Raider Nation. 聽

Comparable sales represent sales at all restaurants, whether operated by the Company or by franchisees, in operation at least thirteen months including those temporarily closed. Some of the reasons restaurants may be temporarily closed include reimaging or remodeling, rebuilding, road construction and natural disasters. Comparable sales exclude the impact of currency translation. Comparable sales are driven by changes in guest counts and average check, which is affected by changes in pricing and product mix. Typically, pricing has a greater impact on average check than [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Handbags-Watch-Sale-Eye-Frames-Tops.html]Gucci Tops[/url] product mix. Management reviews the increase or decrease in comparable sales compared with the same period in the prior year to assess business trends.
The number of weekdays and weekend days can impact our reported comparable sales. In August 2014, this calendar shift/trading day adjustment consisted of one less Thursday and one more Sunday compared with August 2013. The resulting adjustment varied by area of the world, ranging from approximately -0.3% to 0.7%. In addition, the timing of holidays can impact comparable sales.
Information in constant currency is calculated by translating current year results at prior year average exchange rates. Management reviews and analyzes business results excluding the effect of foreign currency translation and bases incentive compensation plans on these results because they believe this better represents the Company’s underlying business trends.
Systemwide sales include sales at all restaurants, whether operated by the Company or by franchisees. While franchised sales are not recorded as revenues by the [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Handbags-Baby-Carrier-Cheap-Purses-Cheap-Sunglasses.html]Cheap Gucci Purses[/url] Company, management believes the information is important in understanding the Company’s financial performance because these sales are the basis on which the Company calculates and records franchised revenues and are indicative of the financial health of the franchisee base.
Upcoming Communications
McDonald’s tentatively plans to release third quarter results before the market opens on October 21, 2014 and will host an investor webcast. This webcast will be broadcast live and available for replay for a limited time thereafter at .

Forward-Looking Statements
This release contains certain forward-looking statements, which reflect management’s expectations regarding future events and operating performance and speak only as of the date hereof.

WILMETTE 鈥⒙燜our minutes into the third quarter, it looked as if Edwardsville was on its way to upsetting one of the best teams in the state.But Loyola, the Class 8A runner-up last season, proved to be tough to put away as the Ramblers erased a 21-point deficit in the final 17 minutes to earn a 29-28 win in overtime.”I really don’t know what happened,” said sophomore defensive end A.J. Epenesa, who put the Tigers up 14-0 with his 43-yard interception return for a touchdown midway through the first quarter. “Everybody did their job, and we all gave it our best shot.”We had a great start, and everything went our way in the first half.”The Tigers, who are No. 3 in the Associated Press Class 8A rankings, led the top-ranked Ramblers (2-0) 21-0 at intermission. They then started the third quarter by intercepting their sixth pass of the game on Loyola’s first series.聽Like it did at times in the [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/guccioutlet.onlinesalecc.php]Gucci Outlet Store[/url] first two quarters, Edwardsville (1-1) couldn’t take advantage of the turnover. Unlike the first half, the Ramblers made the Tigers pay for it.聽With junior backup quarterback Emmett Clifford replacing starting senior DJ Melsheimer, Loyola scored on three of its first four possessions of the second half. Clifford provided the tying touchdown on a 6-yard run with 3 minutes, 35 seconds remaining in regulation.聽”It was the worst half of football we’ve ever played,” Loyola coach John Holecek said. “Our offense was pretty bad, but our defense kept us in the game.”After the Tigers scored on their first series of OT on senior Dan Marinko’s 5-yard pass to senior receiver Isaiah Michl, Clifford answered with a touchdown pass on fourth-and-5. The Ramblers elected to run a fake on the PAT, and senior holder Aidan Walsh connected with senior linebacker Brian O’Brien for the game-winning, two-point conversion.聽”We’re getting closer to where we want to be,” Edwardsville coach Matt Martin said. “We’re knocking on the door.”Six players had interceptions for Edwardsville, including two by junior safety Jourdyn Jones, but the Tigers only managed 21 points off of eight total takeaways. They also struggled [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/gucciusaonlineoutlet.php]gucci outlet[/url] to run the ball, especially in the second half, totaling 35 yards on 20 attempts.”This game was about turnovers and capitalizing on those turnovers,” said Martin, whose team committed two turnovers in the second half, neither of which led to points. “They adjusted well defensively in the second half, and we didn’t run the ball up the middle well.”Edwardsville is hoping to be the first team from outside the Chicago area since 1991 to win the big-school state title. East St. Louis finished first in Class 6A that season.”We will use this as a learning experience and grow from it,” Martin said. “You [url=http://www.alportico.net/gosoc.php] true religion sale[/url] don’t have to go undefeated to win a state championship. If we are mature and learn from this, we can get better.”Waterloo 27, Columbia 24 (OT)聽鈥⒙燫ick Wiegand scored on a 10-yard run in overtime to lead the Bulldogs to a key road win.Wiegand scored all four touchdowns for Waterloo including a pair of short runs late in the first half to give his team a 21-14 lead.Columbia tied the game on a 38-yard scoring toss from Jacob Hill to Lou Isringhaus in the third period.The Eagles took a 24-21 lead in overtime on a 27-yard field goal by Greg Long.Orchard Farm 49, Liberty 6聽鈥⒙燗rmand Keely ran for 163 yards and three scores to lead the Eagles to a win at home.Keeley scored on runs of 44, 40, 21 in a 2 minute 24 second-span in the first quarter to stake his team to 21-0 lead.Tyler Westerfeld ran for two touchdowns and 98 yards for the winners.

A Thurston County man was sentenced to six years and seven months in prison after pouring lighter fluid on his wife s legs and igniting it in 2011.Duane M. Rader was originally found guilty of first-degree arson, felony harassment, unlawful imprisonment and fourth-degree assault and sentenced to 10 years in prison in March of 2012, with the court acquitting him of first-degree attempted murder charges.The sentence was overturned by the Washington State Court of Appeals in January of this year because the court improperly calculated his offender score during the original trial.At a court appearance Tuesday, he pleaded guilty to the same charges first-degree arson, felony harassment, unlawful imprisonment and fourth-degree assault in addition to three charges of violating a no-contact order.The charges [url=http://www.radiorcs.com/page.php?sale=Ugg-&-Jimmy-Choo]Ugg & Jimmy Choo[/url] stem from a Feb. 13, 2011 assault that left Rader s wife with second-degree burns on her legs. She initially told Thurston County Sheriff s deputies that she was trying to refill her lighter and accidentally lit her legs on fire, according to charging documents. The deputies didn t arrest Rader at the time because they weren t sure what had happened.The woman repeated the story later that month.But on Aug. 2, 2011, the woman contacted deputies again and told them that she had separated from Rader and wanted to tell the truth about what happened in February, according to court papers. She told deputies that Rader had been drinking heavily and slammed her head on the kitchen counter, knocking her to the floor. He then poured lighter fluid on [url=http://www.radiorcs.com/page.php?sale=Kate-Spade-Black-Leather-Purse]Kate Spade Sale[/url] her legs and tossed a match on them, according to court papers. The incident took place in front of her 11-year-old daughter. She said Rader told her not to tell deputies what had happened because he would go to jail and lose his army career.Rader was later arrested.At the Tuesday hearing, Thurston County Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Craig Juris told Judge Anne Hirsch that the victim didn t want to appear in court or be part of another trial. It is in her best interest and in her daughter s best interest that this not go to trial again, Juris said.Rader was later charged with three counts of violating a no-contact order after calling his wife from the Thurston County Jail three times before the trial.He has been at Airway Heights Corrections Center since the 2011 trial. His attorney, Patrick O Connor, said Rader has been working to earn a college degree and better himself. I think it shows some dedication on his side to make some changes so he doesn t find himself in this situation again, O Connor said.He explained that Rader served in the Army for 15 years and completed three overseas tours. The experience left him with post-traumatic stress disorder, and he self-medicated with alcohol, O Connor said.But Hirsch argued that post-traumatic stress disorder isn t an excuse for committing violent crimes. Although that was an awful experience for you, I don t believe that PTSD causes domestic violence, Hirsch said.Hirsch decided to accept the sentencing recommendation of 6 years, seven months in prison for the first-degree arson charge, which is outside of the standard sentencing range of five years, one month. She awarded the exceptional sentence because victim s child was present during the incident. I can see that what you did was terrifying and awful for your victim and the child that was present, Hirsch said.Rader was also sentenced to one year and nine months for felony harassment and [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Louboutin-Daffodile]Christian Louboutin Clearance[/url] unlawful imprisonment, and one year for fourth-degree assault and the three violating a no-contact order charges. He will serve the sentences concurrent with the first-degree arson sentence.

Given the complaining about President Obama鈥檚 dilemma in the Middle East 鈥?not exactly aided by his earlier admission that his administration lacked a 鈥渟trategy鈥?for dealing with the Islamic militants who during the summer took over something like a third of Iraq 鈥?you might expect Congress to come forward with some specific ideas on what [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Belts-Online-Real-Men-Sunglasses-Ties.html]Gucci Belts Online[/url] the United States ought to do. Don鈥檛 expect much.
If some lawmakers do suggest further intervention by the United States beyond airstrikes, they better have a good idea of how they鈥檙e going to pay for it and who will fight it. We don鈥檛 need to be cutting taxes and putting our military in harm鈥檚 way while the rest of us remain at home waving flags and proclaiming our support for the troops while resisting any of the sacrifices that might be required of the American homefront.
By now, Congress sure ought to be able to come up with a package to deal with the border crisis, including the care and possible returning of more than 60,000 youths who practically strolled into the United States from violence-ridden countries in Central America.
Many House Republicans have pretty much warned the president not to do anything on immigration 鈥?particularly allowing millions of undocumented workers to stay in the country 鈥?but then they better huddle with Senate Democrats to come up with at least some alternative. And if [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Belts-Online-Fedora-Watches-Ladies-Cheap-Wallet.html]Cheap Gucci Wallet[/url] the two sides can鈥檛 agree after years of research and debate on this issue 鈥?since at least 2007 鈥?then it will be hard to blame this president for taking action on his own. (Obama now says he鈥檒l wait till after elections.)
Unfortunately, pressing issues such as the conquest of northern Iraq by the Islamic State and immigration along our nation鈥檚 southern border will probably get no more than lip service. Democrats eyeing their prospects of losing the Senate reportedly will push such middle-class issues as student loans and the minimum wage. Republicans will seek to condemn the president for his handling of the Bowe Bergdahl-Taliban prisoner swap, even as the Middle East burns with beheadings, crucifixions and beatings.
Hopefully, Congress will pass a short-term continuing resolution to keep the government operating beyond Sept. 30 鈥?even Republicans pushing last year鈥檚 government shutdown will think twice of such dramatic and costly gestures before elections. And Congress reportedly will extend the Export-Import Bank鈥檚 authorization, at least on a short-term basis. The issue is one that has divided Republicans, so in essence they鈥檒l put off the matter till, [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Sale-Purses-Sale-Sale-Handbags-Cheap-Clothing.html]Cheap Gucci Clothing[/url] yes, the elections are over.

Matthew Smiley, 18, of Kingston, appeared in Kitsap County Superior District Court [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/guccioutlet.onlinesalecc.php]Gucci Outlet[/url] Monday. (Photo: KCPQ-TV)
PORT ORCHARD, Wash. The Kitsap County Sheriff s Office said Tuesday it had arrested four people for allegedly threatening witnesses in their case against 18-year-old Matthew Smiley, who is accused of threatening to shoot up Kingston High School.
Three of the arrests occurred between 12:30 p.m. and 1:30 p.m. Tuesday at Kingston High School. The fourth arrest occurred in Bremerton around 3:30 p.m., the sheriff s office said.
Sheriff鈥檚 detectives became aware of the threats to witnesses from NK School District officials earlier today and initiated the follow-up investigation. Specific threats to harm several individuals were made via social media, the sheriff s office said.
Smiley appeared in Kitsap County District Court on Monday, where a [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/gucciusaonlineoutlet.php] cheap gucci[/url] judge set bail at $2 million for the former Kingston High student.
According to the sheriff s office, an investigation was started last Thursday after a 911 call made by Kingston High School security officers, who reported that witnesses had contacted them and said a former student had voiced threats to others that, One of these days I m gonna walk in and shoot up the school.
The threats to cause violence at KHS were reportedly made on more than one occasion. Witnesses also reported that the young man had access to firearms [url=http://www.alportico.net/prodotti/christianlouboutin-sale.jkmsw.php]Christian Louboutin Shoes[/url] and had displayed these weapons as a point of emphasis, the sheriff s office said.
Deputies and detectives learned that the suspect, Smiley, had been expelled from the high school during the 2013 鈥?2014 academic year for trying to sell marijuana.
The suspect was booked into Kitsap County Jail on charges of felony harassment and unlawful possession of a firearm.
As expected, after Eli Manning had another interception party as the New York Giants lost to the Detroit Lions, the memes and jokes focused on his link to Tony Romo [url=http://www.alportico.net/page.php?sale=Gucci-Money-Clip]Gucci Money Clip[/url] while also mentioning how Calvin Johnson makes Matthew Stafford look like a superstar.
But as always, the center of attention is the quarterback who did worse, which happens to be Manning. A year after leading the league in interceptions and a day after Romo was intercepted three times against the 49ers, Manning put [url=http://www.radiorcs.com/page.php?sale=Kate-Spade-Bon-Shopper]Kate Spade Sale[/url] on an awful performance of his own. It didn t help that his offensive line looked terrible. Manning has been playing this badly for some time now.
And then there were the Lions. Stafford had to do quite a bit of scrambling at times to beat the pass rush, but it usually worked out well for him. It helps to have the best wide receiver in the NFL at your side, someone the allegedly improved Giants secondary couldn t handle for very long.
Tom Coughlin didn t have a single good thing to say about his team s performance as they opened the season with a [url=http://www.radiorcs.com/page.php?sale=Jimmy-Choo-For-Uggs]Jimmy Choo For Uggs[/url] loss. A striking resemblance to the preseason or last season. Knowing what your problems are doesn t mean you ll be able to fix them.

Langham led an Audubon study that examined more than 500 bird species and determined that more than 300 in Canada and the United States face large climate shifts that could reduce their habitat by half or more by 2080. The changing environment will force birds to adapt to new habitats with different temperature and precipitation rates if they are to survive.
The first comprehensive species study of its kind, it will be used to help federal wildlife officials develop improved strategies to conserve bird species, whose abundance and migratory patterns depend on specialized habitats, such as forests, grasslands and coastal areas.
By 2080, the bald eagle, the national symbol of the United States, could see its habitat decrease by 75 percent, the report says.
All of the habitat of the common loon, the state bird [url=http://www.alportico.net/gosoc.php]true religion jeans[/url] of Minnesota, could disappear in the lower 48 states. In Southern California, the black oystercatcher may abandon coastal areas for more suitable climes in British Columbia and Alaska.
Other U.S. bird species that could face climate shifts that sharply reduce their habitat include the American avocet, the eared grebe, the trumpeter swan, the white-headed woodpecker and the chestnut-collared longspur.
What could be missing along with those birds and their ecological niches are their very presence and songs 鈥?crucial components of our daily lives and the cultural fabric of our communities, Langham said.
The study was funded in part by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Its projections will help inform the service s migratory bird management objectives and landscape conservation planning, said spokeswoman Laury Parramore.
Previous climate studies involving North American birds have focused on a few species with limited habitats. For this study, Langham and a team of Audubon ornithologists analyzed 30 years of historical North American climate data.
The team examined tens of thousands of records from the U.S. Geological Survey s American Breeding Bird Survey and the Audubon Christmas Bird Count, which for more than a century has collected data on bird populations across the nation.
The study also used climate projections from a 2007 report by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which said scientists best estimate was that temperatures would rise 3.2 to 7.8 degrees by 2100. In contrast, the [url=http://www.alportico.net/gosoc.php]true religion jeans[/url] increase from 1901 to 2005 was 1.2 degrees.
The data was used to project geographic distributions for 588 North American bird species during both the breeding and non-breeding seasons under a variety of scenarios through the end of the century.
Each species was assigned a climate sensitivity status based on overall climactic suitability.
The study defined species as climate endangered if they were projected to lose more than half of their current habitat by 2050, without gain from potential expansion.
Climate threatened species could lose more than half of their habitat by 2080, but have the potential for habitat expansion.
Climate stable species may lose less than half of their current habitat by 2080.
The study suggests that 126 species are climate endangered because the climate of their entire habitat will probably change in 65 years. Another 188 other species are considered climate threatened.
Relatively few bird species in those categories, however, are now viewed as conservation priorities by wildlife organizations and government agencies, the study says.
For example, Baird s sparrow could lose more than 95 percent of its current range by 2080. Yet, it is listed as a species of least concern on the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List, the most comprehensive information source on the global conservation status of more than 10,000 bird [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/gucciusaonlineoutlet.php]gucci outlet[/url] species.
Stuart Butchart, who manages the list and is head of science at BirdLife International, a conservation group based in Cambridge, England, said the study results are troubling. But he said it wouldn t directly translate into changes to the list.
It does give us a first understanding of how climate change is likely to impact such a range of species, he said.
Despite the dire projections, Langham said he hoped that through concerted actions now the worst-case future scenarios could be avoided.
It s not easy being a bird 鈥?and things are going to get harder still, he said. But if you give nature half a chance, she responds.

CRESTED BUTTE, Colo. (CBS4/AP) – Bud Light鈥檚 controversial Whatever, USA festival in Crested Butte was a success, according to a town leader.
Anheuser-Busch paid $500,000 to paint several blocks of a central street blue and otherwise temporarily revamp the town into fictional Whatever, USA, for its Up for Whatever campaign.
Crested Butte Chief Marshal Tom Martin said the event went really well and there were only four arrests Saturday night.
We prepared for the worst and we got the best, Martin said. 鈥淚 ve lived here 37 years and this previous weekend was one [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Sale-Authentic-Wholesale-Heels-Phone.html]Cheap Gucci Sale[/url] of the coolest weekends I ve ever been here.
Despite some residents being opposed to the town allowing the Bud Light event in their town, Martin said he thought most people had a good time.
The majority of people here are really happy that it happened, he said.
However there were some problems after the event ended. The more than 1,000 people who flew in to the small Colorado resort town for the filming of the Anheuser-Busch s Bud Light commercial had problems leaving the party Sunday evening.
The company said the travel delays stemmed from a large number of people trying to depart the Gunnison-Crested Butte Regional Airport after the two-day event.
PHOTO GALLERY:
With more than 1,200 consumers attending Whatever, USA, from all points across the country, it takes time to get through a smaller airport, Nick Kelly, a Bud Light spokesman, said in a statement. We have a process in place to have all of our guests make the return trip home as safely and smoothly as possible.
Kelly said the company [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Handbags-Outlet-Ski-Goggles-Mane-Clothing-For-Toddlers.html]Gucci For Toddlers[/url] offered to pay for accommodations for those miss connecting flights because of delays, but everybody was able to travel later Sunday night.
A private security company fell behind on screening requirements for travelers leaving on chartered planes, Transportation Security Administration spokesman Ross Feinstein told .
Some visitors complained about the delay on social media.
I don t know exactly what happened, McKenna Reagan, from St. Paul Minn., told the newspaper. I know a lot of people were upset.
Before the delays, some residents of the town didn t take too kindly to the secretive event arranged between Anheuser-Busch and town leaders but others embraced it.
Martin said Bud Light was tremendous to work with and so was their security company, Patriot USA.
Crested Butte, population 1,500, is more of a craft beer town, home to art [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Discount-Purse-Outlet-Suitcase-Vintage-Bag.html]Vintage Gucci Bag[/url] galleries, artists and second-home owners. There are no fast food restaurants or chain stores.
For the weekend event, workers installed a sand volleyball court, a multistory cowboy boot statue, a gorilla and a director s chair that comfortably seats six people.

It came down to two players this week, one who showed us all that he is who we thought he is. The other wound up proving to us that is more than we may have expected.
The runner up this week is , who played with determination and was effective almost every time he touched the ball. He had 118 yards on 22 carries. And this is not a statistic [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Outlet-Online-Seattle-Coats-Boots-Women.html]Gucci Seattle[/url] that was padded by one or two breakaway runs. The longest carry he had was for 15 yards. No, Murray was getting good, effective yards almost every time he touched the ball.
Of course, he also had one very, very bad play, when the ball was torn from his arms and run in for a touchdown by the 49ers. That play, just 54 seconds into the game, was certainly a shock to the Cowboys, and turned out to be the beginning of flood of first quarter miscues. Murray also was part of two other sequences that contributed to the general malaise that afflicted Dallas, although his involvement was in how he was not used.聽, the second-and-one call at SF 2 yard line. Had the Cowboys done the smart thing, not the clever thing, and fed Murray the ball, the game would likely have been tied. Then, in the second quarter, with first and goal at the 5, Dallas again went to the pass and it led to an interception. Even on their second touchdown play late in the game, Dallas was passing from the 2 yard line rather than running it in. Murray continues to prove what he can do – to everyone, it seems, but the coaching staff, who apparently doubt his ability at crucial [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Outlet-Cheap-Bags-Sale-Crossbody.html]Gucci Sale[/url] moments.
So the game ball goes to another player, one who there were many doubts about going into the game, but who answered them with hard, effective play and some bone-jarring hits. The first BTB game ball of 2014 goes to middle linebacker , who tied with for the team lead in tackles at eight. More to the point, he clearly answered the questions about his motivations. His play was not perfect, but he showed up in聽 as Dallas’ second-highest rated defensive player (behind ). More importantly was the way he leveled a couple of people coming through the line. His talent was never questioned, but many had strong doubts that McClain really had his head straight after retiring from football twice. Instead, he looked and played for much of the game like he was the best athlete and player on the field for Dallas’ defense.
On Sunday, he looked like he was fully committed to playing the game. He even had to play the nickel after Justin Durant went out with a groin strain. His performance overall looked to be about as much as the Cowboys could want from someone having to step in to cover for the injured Sean Lee. Dallas looks to have found a keeper, and the question about what to do at the Mike position is answered. In a game that left so many [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Belts-Online-Discount-Sunglasses-Gabbana-Wholesale-Handbags.html]Gucci Gabbana[/url] other questions unanswered, and even brought up a couple of new ones, the emphatic way McClain took care of the questions around him and his position earn him the Game Ball for the first game of 2014.

Apparently no fan of conspiracy theories, Jeff Fisher called speculation that Shaun Hill was benched and wasn鈥檛 really injured 鈥渁bsurd鈥?during his Monday media session.鈥淭o clarify things once again, Shaun Hill strained a quad in the second quarter, and that was the [url=http://www.alportico.net/prodotti/christianlouboutin-sale.jkmsw.php]Christian Louboutin[/url] reason he did not return,鈥?Fisher said.Fisher said Hill鈥檚 status is day-to-day this week but if healthy, he will start this Sunday at Tampa Bay.鈥淭here鈥檚 no issue there,鈥?Fisher said. 鈥淪haun鈥檚 our quarterback, so if he鈥檚 healthy he starts. And that鈥檒l be the case throughout the season.鈥漇everal factors made the halftime quarterback change seem curious in the Rams鈥?34-6, season-opening loss to Minnesota. For one, Davis was already in for a few plays at the start of the second half before it was announced that Hill had a quad 鈥?or thigh 鈥?injury.鈥?RAMS CHAT: For another, there was no definitive play where Hill appeared to get injured, at least to the naked eye.鈥淭ypically, quad strains are the result of running,鈥?Fisher said. 鈥淚t was not a contusion. It was not impact. It started to get sore earlier in the game as he was escaping pressure.鈥滷isher said he made the decision to go with Davis with input from Hill.鈥淲e discussed it in the locker room at halftime,鈥?Fisher said. 鈥淲e discussed it after we came out on the field. He wanted to play, but he felt 鈥?he was in agreement with me 鈥?that the best thing for the immediate future here next week or the week to follow would be that he didn鈥檛 make it any worse.鈥淏ecause if you make it any worse, then you鈥檙e looking at a significant amount of (missed) play time.鈥滷isher said Hill wasn鈥檛 upset about the quarterback change. 鈥淗e totally understood,鈥?Fisher said. 鈥淵ou know, he actually tried to throw that ball away.鈥滷isher was referring to Hill鈥檚 costly interception near the end of the first half.鈥淗e wasn鈥檛 trying to throw it to Cookie (tight end Jared Cook),鈥?Fisher said. 鈥淗e lacked the lower-body strength to make the throw. That was a concern of his.鈥漇crambling right to evade the Minnesota pass rush, Hill threw off his back foot into double coverage near the Rams鈥?sideline. Nickel back Josh Robinson made a leaping interception at the St. Louis 35, and the Vikings converted the takeaway into a touchdown right before the half to take a 13-0 lead.Hill didn鈥檛 appear to be limping when he came out in the second half and was still in uniform with no ice on the leg or any kind of wrap to be seen.鈥淗e felt like he could take a shotgun snap and throw the ball if we had [url=http://www.alportico.net/prodotti/christianlouboutin-sale.jkmsw.php]Christian Louboutin Online[/url] an issue with Austin,鈥?Fisher said. 鈥淪o therefore, we kept him dressed and kept him on the sideline.鈥漀o. 3 quarterback Case Keenum was on the pregame inactive list.Hill declined to answer questions from reporters about the injury after the game, referring all queries to Fisher. He even declined to say how the injury occurred. That only fueled speculation that something was amiss.When Fisher met with reporters early Monday evening, he said he was unaware of any conspiracy theory rumblings about Hill being benched, not injured.鈥淚鈥檓 telling you the truth,鈥?Fisher said. 鈥淚鈥檝e never, never messed around with the quarterback situation my entire career. I鈥檓 speaking truthfully. He had a quad strain, and I took him out of the game, period.鈥淥n the depth chart, he鈥檚 clearly ahead of Austin Davis. It鈥檚 not a negative commentary on Austin, but (Hill) gives us the best chance to win. If he can鈥檛 go, then Austin steps up and then he gives us the best chance to win.鈥滲ut as for conspiracy theories?鈥淭hat鈥檚 absurd,鈥?Fisher said.As he spoke Monday, Fisher wasn鈥檛 sure if Hill would be able to practice Wednesday, when the team returns to practice. The plan is to give Davis more work this week with the starters, just in case.Making his first start since 2010, Hill started the game by completing his first five passes but completed only three of his final eight to end the half. The misses in order:鈥?Running back Zac Stacy dropped a screen pass that could鈥檝e gone for good yardage on the Rams鈥?second possession.鈥?Flushed out of the pocket and under pressure, he threw away a pass on a play in which Kenny Britt was the nearest receiver early in the second quarter.鈥?Referee Ed Hochuli picked up a flag on what appeared to be an illegal contact or pass interference penalty on a deep ball to Brian Quick on the Rams鈥?fourth series.鈥?[url=http://www.museosangennaro.com/Public/anel.php] Christian Louboutin Shoes Sale[/url] Two plays later, on a miscommunication between Britt and Hill, Hill threw deep and Britt cut his route off short. The ball hit the turf well beyond anyone on the field.鈥?And then came the interception.So you could make the case that the only truly bad throw by Hill in the first half was the interception.鈥淪haun was effective,鈥?Fisher said. 鈥淗e made plays. They pressured him; we expected them to pressure him as anybody would a backup quarterback.鈥淏ut I thought he was effective. You saw the throws he made. The timing throws that he made. He was under pressure. We had a protection issue. … But I thought had he stayed in game we would鈥檝e had a chance.鈥淩ealistically speaking, we鈥檙e two plays away from going into the locker room at halftime 6-3. Make a field goal, throw that (interception) away. Punt it away. Even with 2 minutes left to go in the third quarter, we鈥檙e down 10. You normally think you鈥檇 have a shot with the veteran quarterback.鈥滻t was 6-0 and not 6-3 before the Hill interception and the resulting Minnesota TD because Greg Zuerlein barely missed a 50-yard field goal, wide left, on the Rams鈥?second possession.

DENVER (CBS4) The business of getting people high has produced some high returns for entrepreneurs in Colorado, but some feel like the state s green rush might be coming to an end.

But some in the industry aren t certain the climate here is ripe for many more success stories.
I don t know if that s the case that you could have new people jump in and be very successful because that market s pretty saturated and it s got a lot of established operators, said Kayvan Khalatbari, a marijuana store on South Broadway in Denver.
But it certainly can be very profitable.

Khalatbari also operates a cannabis magazine called Birdy, a standup comedy showcase called Sexpot Comedy which has marijuana-friendly shows and Sexy Pizza, a chain of pizzerias where part of the proceeds go to drug education.
I don t think I jumped in like a lot of people did, I eased in, he said.

The Real ID Act has little to do with immigration. Rather, it requires states to confirm the identity and lawful status of applicants who do not have access to the same documents [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/michaelkorssonline.php] michael kors sale[/url] as U.S. citizens.
鈥⒙燗dditionally, it does allow for the issuance of driver s licenses for illegal immigrants, and Real ID-compliant states have been able to do so (such as Maryland).
The Real ID Act established a voluntary list of standards aimed at making it more difficult for an individual to fraudulently obtain valid government-issued identification.
Despite the criticisms of an Orwellian state, the Real ID Act actually expands privacy protections.
It requires security upgrades for motor vehicle agencies that hold your personal data and background checks for the motor vehicle agency employees who have access to it, a necessary step to protect against insider fraud. Given the increases in privacy, a better question to ask [url=http://www.museosangennaro.com/Public/anel.php] Christian Louboutin Shoes Outlet[/url] is: Why hasn t Maine moved forward like the rest of the country?

MILWAUKEE (WITI) A respiratory virus has sent hundreds of children to hospitals, and it s causing alarm across the Midwest and beyond. Ten states have contacted the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for help investigating clusters of the virus that鈥檚 being blamed for the illness.
Health officials say they鈥檙e still working to figure out what鈥檚 going on.
The bug that appears to be causing most of the concern has a typically arcane name 鈥?Enterovirus EV-D68 鈥?but many of its symptoms are very common.
Enteroviruses, which bring on symptoms like a very intense cold, aren鈥檛 unusual. They鈥檙e actually very common.
When you have a bad summer cold, often what you have is an enterovirus, said Mark Pallansch, a virologist and director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention鈥檚 Division of Viral Diseases.
There are more than 100 types of enteroviruses causing about 10 to 15 million infections in the United States each year, according to the CDC. They are carried in the intestinal tract and often spread to other parts of the body.
The season often hits its peak in September, as summer ends and fall begins.
So why all the concern now?聽What鈥檚 unusual at the moment is the high number of hospitalizations.
There aren t any cases in Wisconsin currently, [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Discount-Skull-Cap-Discount-Wallets-Dress-Shirts.html]Gucci Discount[/url] but there s concern we could see cases here in the near future.
In Colorado, nearly 900 children were treated for the illness, but the good news is that it s not typically deadly.
It can be severe in the asthmatic and the allergy kids population, Dr. Angela Tonozzi, the Director of Infection Prevention at Aurora Healthcare said.
Dr. Tonozzi says while there are no cases in Wisconsin currently, doctors here are prepared.
This is viral respiratory season, so we prepare for Enterovirus as we do every late summer/early fall, Dr. Tonozzi said.
An [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Handbags-Outlet-Vintage-Shopping-Bag-Optical.html]Gucci Shopping Bag[/url] analysis by the CDC showed at least 30 Kansas City children tested positive for EV-D68, Missouri health officials said.
It鈥檚 a type of enterovirus that鈥檚 uncommon, but not new.
It was first identified in the 1960s and there have been fewer than 100 reported cases since that time. But it鈥檚 possible that the relatively low number of reports might be because EV-D68 is hard to identify.
EV-D68 was seen last year in the United States and this year in various parts of the world. Over the years, clusters have been reported in Georgia, Pennsylvania, Arizona and various countries including the Philippines, Japan and the Netherlands.
The virus can start as just a cold. Signs include coughing, difficulty breathing and in some cases a rash. Sometimes they can be accompanied by fever or wheezing.
Respiratory problems appear to the hallmark of EV-D68, according to the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services.
鈥淢ost enteroviruses cause either a little bit of a cold or a diarrheal illness 鈥?a few cause meningitis,鈥?said William Schaffner, head of the Department of Preventive Medicine at Vanderbilt University. 鈥淭his one is the, if you will, odd cousin. It causes prominent respiratory symptoms. Why it does that, we鈥檙e really not sure.鈥?
Pay attention to the symptoms that your child is having. If they`re having wheezing for the first time that`s a definite symptom you need to go and seek care for or if they`re having wheezing that just won`t go away. If you re having difficulty breathing, you might need some oxygen. You might need some fluids if you get dehydrated and just specialized care and monitoring, Dr. Tonozzi said.
Like other enteroviruses, the respiratory illness appears to spread through close contact with infected people. That makes children more susceptible.
There鈥檚 not a [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Sale-Online-Vintage-Watches-Outlet-Store-Kids-Clothing.html]Gucci Kids Clothing[/url] great deal you can do, health officials say, beyond taking commonsense steps to reduce the risk.
Wash your hands with soap and water for 20 seconds 鈥?particularly after going to the bathroom and changing diapers.
Clean and disinfect surfaces that are regularly touched by different people, such as toys and doorknobs.
Avoid shaking hands, kissing, hugging and sharing cups or eating utensils with people who are sick. And stay home if you feel unwell.
There鈥檚 no vaccine for EV-D68.

Dan Hunsicker, who lives on 100 acres and farms about 1,000 acres in Lower Macungie, said lifelong farmers like him are in survival mode.He rents multiple properties in three counties and has dozens of landlords. He said it’s getting more difficult to hold on to those properties, and traffic caused by development is making it more difficult to get to and from them. As the bulldozers come, they keep chasing you away, said Hunsicker, 62.A case in point was a property he farmed at Cedar Crest Boulevard and Lower Macungie Road. He stopped using the land when a developer inked an agreement of sale to turn it into 55-and-over housing.He added that the big thing in the industry now is organic farming, work that requires a good back, strong knees and a hefty payroll. At minimum, Hunsicker said, he would have to pay $15 per hour and provide benefits to workers if he shifted to more labor-intensive organic farming that doesn’t use pesticides and herbicides. If I’m going to sell you a tomato for 50 cents, how am I going to make a living? he said. People like me are on the way out in this area, he said. How are you going to put together a large farm if there’s no farmland? The future past me is getting pretty dim. Seeds of growthIn a lengthy report on the Lehigh Valley food economy released in 2013 by Greater Lehigh Valley Buy [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Michael-Kors-Sale-Watches]Michael Kors Sale Watches[/url] Fresh Buy Local, Prior spells out the wide-ranging benefits of retaining farmland and putting it to good use.The report says the local food economy generates about $17 million in economic activity for the region. But the Lehigh Valley only has enough farmland to produce food for 24 percent of its population. Could we feed all of the people in the Lehigh Valley on all of the agricultural land we have? The answer is no, said Becky Bradley, executive director of the Lehigh Valley Planning Commission. We’re going to be an importer of food. That’s certainly an issue we need to address. Prior said a number of groups, collectively calling themselves the Sustainable Communities Consortium, are working to improve the food economy. Her organization, which promotes local produce through newsletters, a website, social media and programs that bring the farm to school, is trying to set up delivery networks for wholesale buyers. A number of organizations are banding together to create a food policy [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Michael-Kors-Outlets]Michael Kors Shoes[/url] council to advance sustainable agriculture.More also is being done to encourage farming as a viable profession, even for people who didn’t grow up on a farm. Lehigh County’s seed farm, a nine-month farmer training program in Upper Milford and Lower Milford townships, has graduated 13 farmers in the past five years. Nine of those now farm in the region.In July, Rodale Institute, which has taken the lead in bringing locally grown food to the Lehigh Valley’s cities, announced it was teaming with St. Luke’s University Health Network to create an organic farm on the network’s Anderson Campus in Bethlehem Township. It is expected to produce more than 44,000 pounds of produce in its first year to feed patients, staff and visitors at St. Luke’s hospitals.Rodale also is helping train new farmers and transition farms from conventional to organic production.On the state level, FarmLink, a Pennsylvania nonprofit that connects farm owners with farmers looking for land, says it was contacted by 288 farmers in 2013 and created 60 potential matches.Zehr and others say local consumers with the mind-set that they can rely on other parts of the country for their food are misguided. A perfect example is what’s happening in California, where a lot of our produce is coming from, he said. There’s a severe drought going on there. They are so dependent on irrigation, and some of that water is disappearing. I just think it’s short-sighted to squander what we have here. Some of the land in Lower Macungie and Upper Macungie has some of the best soil. Many say farming’s future here lies in its ability to meet the needs of city and suburban dwellers. Lehigh Valley consumers have joined the rest of the country in seeking locally grown food and have shown a willingness to pay more for fresh products.Throughout the area, farmers markets are growing in popularity. Although a few have folded in recent years, Prior said, there are still eight farm markets that are going strong. Bieber and others believe the future of farming in the Lehigh Valley will be in smaller, high-value crops that feed people.Jeff Moyer, Rodale’s [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Tory-Burch-Reese-Ballet-Flat]Tory Burch Reese Ballet Flat[/url] farm director, agreed, saying there is an interest in seeing farmland transition from corn and soybeans to consumable crops. The first thing you have to do is make farms profitable, he said. Nobody wants to enter into a career choice where you have to spend a lot of capital [to get started]. We have to make farming as competitive as any other use for that land. Lichtenwalner, whose grandfather and father farmed his land before him, said he would discourage his daughters from taking over for him. He’s managed to squeak out a living but isn’t sure how long he can hold out. I can’t keep going at this level I’m going, he said. There are some times that I have thought, why am I doing this? he said. I tell everybody that when I quit farming, that’s when I’ll make money. Twitter @plester6

(CNN) On May 27, Margaret Awino gave birth to Paul Mukisa with the help of her mother-in-law inside her home in Nabigingo, a small village in eastern Uganda. But instead of joy and jubilation for the birth of [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Outlet-Online-High-Tops-Digital-Watch-Glasses-Men.html]Gucci Digital Watch[/url] her fifth child, the 28-year-old mother was shocked: her newborn son had been born with four legs and four arms.
The family rushed to a nearby district hospital for help but they were quickly referred to Mulago Hospital in the Ugandan capital of Kampala. There, a team of doctors examined the infant and made the diagnosis of parasitic twinning, a variant of conjoint twinning in which one of the twins is not fully developed baby Paul had been born with a full set of arms and legs and another set from a headless and heartless mirror image twin that never fully grew.
The Ugandan doctors ran a series of tests on the eight-limbed newborn which showed that the host and parasitic twin shared part of the pelvic bone. Examinations of Paul s internal organs revealed further abnormalities: his heart was on the right side of his body, instead of the left, while his liver was on the left side as opposed to the right.
After these initial investigations, Paul was discharged home for three months as the surgeons wanted to allow him to grow before performing an operation to separate the twins.
Finally, on August 18, a Ugandan team of three surgeons, three anesthesiologists and two nurses successfully completed a three-hour operation to remove parts of the parasitic twin from the normal body.
The baby was given general anesthesia and the torso and trunk of the parasitic twin which had two arms but no head or heart was detached from the host baby, said Dr Nasser Kakembo, one of the surgeons who carried out the operation.
[url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Discount-Purse-Outlet-Suitcase-Vintage-Bag.html]Gucci Discount[/url] Then we also detached the lower limbs of the parasitic twin from the host, which included disarticulating the right and left lower limbs as they were attached by joints. We controlled the bleeding and fashioned skin flaps to close the resulting wound, he added. There were no intra-operative or post-operative complications and mild blood loss and a precautionary blood transfusion was given.
Paul Mukisa
Three weeks after the surgery, the baby is progressing and breastfeeding well, according to the doctors.
The father and mother were very grateful because at first they thought it was due to witchcraft, and their baby was a laughing stock because of the abnormalities, says Kakembo.
The incidence of conjoined twins is one in 50,000, while parasitic twins are extremely rare. The condition is typically created after one of the twins stops developing at a certain point [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Belts-Sale-Glasses-Wristlets-Usa.html]Gucci Usa[/url] during the pregnancy, and the remnants of that twin merge with the twin that has continued developing.
Back in 2007, an eight-limbed girl in India made global headlines after a team of 30 surgeons successfully completed a mammoth 27-hour operation to remove her parasitic twin.
For the doctors at Mulago Hospital, this was the first time they had ever performed a surgery like this.
We have not had a prior experience with a parasitic twin but we work on many other children with multiple complex multi-organ congenital anomalies such as intestinal, urologic, cardiac, and orthopedic defects, said Kakembo. Although twinning is very rare worldwide, he continued, we have an increased incidence in Africa we [have] seen numerous sets of conjoint twins, five to six sets in the last few years.
Baby Paul Mukisa is still at the hospital and will remain there for the next two weeks, being treated by medics.
Looking ahead, doctors say that they anticipate a healthy baby that may have a wide gait due to the large pelvic bone, and this may require orthopedic reconstruction in the future.

LYONS, Colo. (CBS4) Nearly one year after historic flooding Colorado state leaders celebrated reaching a major milestone in the recovery effort.
Gov. John Hickenlooper, Rep. Cory Gardner and Sen. Mark Udall were among state leaders to officially reopen U.S. Highway 36 at Longmont Dam Road Monday morning.
U.S. Highway 36 open on Monday morning (credit: CBS)
The flooding that began nearly a year ago will be forever etched in Colorado history. But what will also endure [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Outlet-Diaper-Bag-Mens-Boots-1622.html]Cheap Gucci Outlet[/url] is the story of how Coloradans responded, Hickenlooper said in a statement.
Flooding last September washed away stretches of the road between Lyons and Estes Park.
It s the first of more than 20 flood-related repair projects the Colorado Department of Transportation is working on. Construction is nearly complete, but still expect some road closures along Highway 36 through the end of September.
Engineers say the floods taught them a lesson see where the river wants to flow and design the roads around it.
The idea behind this design is to push into the mountain, elevate it in [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Discount-Size-Chart-Outfits-Used-Handbags.html]Gucci Outfits[/url] some cases, but basically have it sit on bedrock, Project Engineer Chris Boespflug said.
According to the governor s office, the floods affected 24 counties and covered more than 2,000 square miles, causing approximately $3 billion in damage. The [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Outlet-Online-Boxer-Briefs-Aviator-Aviators.html]Gucci Outlet Online[/url] state s infrastructure sustained approximately $1.7 billion of the damage.
The floods were responsible for 10 deaths and displaced more than 18,000 people.
We are committed to a 100-percent recovery for local communities. It will take time, but working together with our local, state and federal partners we will continue to build back better and stronger, Hickenlooper said in a statement.
A day of service is planned for the 1-year anniversary of the floods this Saturday where people are encouraged to volunteer on rebuilding projects.

On a United flight on Sunday from Newark to Denver, a passenger fed up with people reclining their seat in front of him, used a $22 device called a knee . It attaches to the tray table of the seat in front of you and prevents the person sitting there from pushing their seat back. He shouldn鈥檛 have even had it on the plane because [url=http://www.museosangennaro.com/Public/wdluk.php]Cheap Christian Louboutin[/url] United and other airlines have banned the device.
聽
Maybe it鈥檚 best if your seat doesn鈥檛 recline at all. (Kent D. Johnson/MCT)
You can probably fill in the rest. The woman in front was furious that she couldn鈥檛 exercise her God-given right to push her seat back. An airline attendant was called, voices were raised, matters got completely out of hand, and eventually the woman threw a glass of water in the guy鈥檚 face.
At that point the flight was diverted to Chicago, the two passengers were told to get off the plane and everyone else plane continued on to Denver. Nicely played everyone.
Frankly, it is tough to pick someone to root for in this spitting match. Who buys a device to lock a seat back? And how entitled do you have to be to get so upset about not being able to recline the seat that you end up getting thrown off the plane?
We can however, with certainty, identify the villain. It is United? Or, if you鈥檇 rather, every single one of those airlines that continues to cram passengers into ever-smaller spaces.
But that鈥檚 not the real problem. I think we鈥檝e all accepted the fact that airline travel has become a cattle call. That getting in and out of your narrow seat is going to require contortionist skills. Most people smile politely and make the best of the incredibly cramped conditions. That鈥檚 just the way it is.
But the reclined seat is the final indignity. Just when you鈥檝e resigned yourself to the tiny bit of air space you鈥檝e been allotted for a trip that will take hours, the person in front of you blithely flips back the seat and takes away another six to eight inches. Just try to get out of your seat [url=http://www.alportico.net/gosoc.php]true religion jeans[/url] and go to the restroom now.
This raises two questions, only one of which is fixable.
First, why do people push their seat back when they know it鈥檚 going to inconvenience the person behind them? Can鈥檛 we appeal to everyone鈥檚 better nature and say, for the good of all, that it would be better if we didn鈥檛 do that.
Sorry, the answer is no. We鈥檝e tried that. I wrote a column about this years ago, and the responses were breathtaking in their sense of entitlement. 鈥淚 NEED to recline my seat,鈥?one man wrote. 鈥淚鈥檓 TIRED.鈥?There were tons of e-mails like that. Every person who ever sat in front of me must have written in. It was a landslide of 鈥渢ough break pal, as long as the seat reclines, I鈥檓 doing it.鈥?
Which brings us to the second question: Why do the seats recline anyway? It鈥檚 not as if the short little push-back makes anyone more comfortable. It鈥檚 six inches at most. You鈥檙e still sitting upright, in a cramped position.
So why do the airlines continue to pretend this is some luxury-liner perk. It鈥檚 not only pointless, it鈥檚 profoundly annoying.
In 2003 the [url=http://www.alportico.net/gosoc.php]true religion jeans[/url] Washington Post wrote a on the inventor of the knee protector, who happened to be a Capitol Hill staffer. Although he said it was a simple matter of 鈥減rotection,鈥?the article made the better call. It is, the story said, 鈥渁 recipe for air rage.鈥?
Actually, that鈥檚 not the real recipe. If the seats were in a fixed, slightly reclined position, none of this would happen. The airlines are 鈥?whether they intend to or not 鈥?promoting this controversy. They can fix it in a week. Just lock up the seats so they don鈥檛 recline. Simple.
Because it鈥檚 clear the current system isn鈥檛 working. For proof let鈥檚 go back to our two passengers. They were sitting in the 鈥渆conomy plus鈥?section, where passengers pay extra for a little more for a little more leg room.
How鈥檇 that work out, United? And how鈥檇 you like the national publicity that there was a near fist fight on one of your flights? Do you think that鈥檚 going to help ticket sales?
You know that would be a smart move? Fix the seats so they don鈥檛 recline. Problem solved. You鈥檙e welcome.

The 24-year-old singer stripped down for her new music video and had what appears to [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Tory-Burch-Elena-Boot]Tory Burch Elena Boot[/url] be alligator scales painted over her unmentionables.
This isn t the first time we ve seen RiRi covered up in reptile skin, however. She sizzled on the red carpet in [url=http://www.radiorcs.com/page.php?sale=Kate-Spade-Jewlery]Kate Spade Jewlery[/url] a crocodile-laced Tom Ford dress at the Met Gala just last week. Are we starting to see a trend here?

Moving forward, the Giants, who will work on correcting the various breakdowns in their game as they get ready for their home opener against the Cardinals on Sunday, believe they have to have a greater sense of resilience, especially [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Louboutin-Banana]Louboutin Banana[/url] when things don’t go their way. To be totally honest with you, yeah. I’d be lying if I didn’t say that was a concern, safety Antrel Rolle said during his weekly radio segment with WFAN Radio when asked if he thought some guys might be fearing a repeat of last year’s rough beginning. Last year left such a bitter taste in our mouth, you want to get off to an early start so you can erase that memory. The way we looked (Monday) night, we didn’t look good. So how do they fix it? We need more fight, Rolle said. I feel like the team needs more fight, we need more attitude. I feel like we’re lying on our heels a little bit way too much. I think we’re relying on our talent way too much as opposed to going out there and being dominant, being feisty, having that dog. That’s something that you need as a team. Right now, I just don’t see (it). We’re a little bit too lax out there. Linebacker Jon Beason, who like Rolle is a defensive co-captain, agreed. I think we need to have more fun, he said. I think it’s only fun when you’re making plays. Throughout the game when you’re out there and things aren’t going well, what you’re trying to trying to get across to the guys is ‘Hey, someone step up and make a play, man. Let’s have fun.’ Once we make a play, you’re going to get on a roll and start flying around, you’re going to do it together. When you make mistakes, it’s demoralizing. The game earned ESPN a 9.2 overnight rating, down 21 percent from the Eagles-Redskins game in the same window last season, according to the Sports Business Daily.With the first game out of the way, Beason believes the Giants will quickly find out what they’re made of. You can only measure yourself off your last performance. That part of it is yet to be determined, Beason said. We’re going to go in (Wednesday) and be honest, and look at ourselves individually, and ask, ‘OK, where can 5-2 get better? Where were my mistakes? Where was my lack of consistency and execution?’ Own up to it and let’s fix it because Sunday is going to be here and no one’s going to feel sorry for us. REPORT CARD VS. LIONSPASSING OFFENSE: F — Offensive coordinator Ben McAdoo’s belief that the passing game’s preseason woes were in the rearview mirror was nothing more than a pipedream as Eli Manning’s struggles continued. But don’t put all of the blame on the quarterback his receivers didn’t separate with any consistency, he was victimized by some dropped passes and miscommunications, and his offensive line once again failed to protect him.RUSHING OFFENSE: D-minus — After looking so promising in the preseason, the Giants’ running game was stonewalled by the Lions’ defensive front. New York averaged 2.4 yards per carry, with the duo of Rashad Jennings and Andre Williams failing to pass 50 yards a [url=http://www.radiorcs.com/page.php?sale=Kate-Spade-Straw-Tote]Kate Spade Straw Tote[/url] piece of production.PASS DEFENSE: F — While it was probably unrealistic to expect the Giants to shut down wide receiver Calvin Johnson, the constant breakdowns in coverage seemed to come at an alarming pace. Johnson, who finished with seven receptions for 164 yards and two touchdowns, had 131 of his receiving yards by the half. The Lions went mercilessly after safety Stevie Brown. Linebacker Jacquian Williams was inconsistent in coverage as well.RUSH DEFENSE: A — The lone bright spot for the Giants was the run defense, which held Joique Bell and Reggie Bush to 65 yards on 24 carries, and one touchdown. Detroit finished with an average of 2.5 yards-per-carry, as the Giants stuffed four run plays for zero or negative yards.SPECIAL TEAMS: C-plus — The inability to protect on the punt coverage finally caught up with the Giants as Steve Weatherford was nailed for a blocked punt, his plant leg pinned underneath him and his ankle twisted awkwardly. He ended up suffering a high ankle sprain, his status moving forward unknown. Otherwise, the Giants got decent production on punt returns from Preston Parker, who returned two punts for 30 yards.COACHING: F — Offensive coordinator Ben McAdoo told reporters before the game that he saw progress made by the offense during the week of practice, but the reality is that the offense looked just as inconsistent and uncomfortable as it did last year under former offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride. Defensive coordinator Perry Fewell’s defense didn’t look any more settled either. While the run defense was effective, there was very little pass rush, there were breakdowns in the defensive secondary, and the Lions simply [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Michael-Kors-Bag]Michael Kors Bag[/url] had their way with the Giants’ defense all night.

Enterovirus D-68 has been confirmed in many of the children hospitalized for respiratory illness in Chicago and Kansas City, Missouri, where outbreaks started last month.
Ten states, including Oklahoma, have asked the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Belts-Sale-Boot-Authentic-Belt-Wallet.html]Gucci Boot[/url] Prevention to help investigate suspected outbreaks.
The culprit is a rare and powerful strain of a common family of viruses. Enteroviruses are common in summer and can cause respiratory illness, fever, runny noses and rashes, but symptoms are usually mild or unnoticeable, according to the CDC.
What is unusual about this strain is how many sufferers have ended up in the hospital, said Chris Van Deusen, spokesman for the Texas Department of State Health Services.
鈥淏ecause it is less common, there鈥檚 less research and less information,鈥?he said.
Enterovirus is such a common ailment that it is not typically reported to state or federal authorities.
More than 475 children were hospitalized with suspected enterovirus late last month at Children鈥檚 Mercy [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Sale-By-Swim-Trunks-Authentic-Bag.html]Gucci By Gucci[/url] Hospital in Kansas City.
A CDC sample of 22 specimens from the hospital came up with 19 positive for enterovirus D68.
Thirteen of those had previous histories of asthma or respiratory illness.
Kelly Craine, spokeswoman for the Waco-McLennan County Public Health District, said the district stays in contact with physicians, hospitals and school nurses about infectious diseases but has seen no indication of enterovirus or other flulike illnesses in circulation during the past two weeks.
Still, she said local health officials are watching the enterovirus outbreak in other states.
鈥淎ny time you have children or high-risk people presenting with those kinds of symptoms, it鈥檚 always a concern and always something we want to know about,鈥?she said.
Scott Clark, spokesman for Baylor Scott White, said the health [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Discount-Www-Com-Bags-Authentic-Handbag-Bracelet-Watch.html]Gucci Bracelet Watch[/url] care system hasn鈥檛 seen any indications of an outbreak in its Central Texas facilities, including Baylor Scott White Hillcrest Medical Center in Waco.

ALEXANDRIA, Va. 鈥?In some ways, Rebecca Wright doesn t understand all the fuss over her 96-year-old mother s recent marriage. After all, she says, Anybody who wants to get married must have a little dementia.
The courts, though, and some of Wright s other relatives aren t amused. And the future for newlyweds Edith Hill, 96, and Eddie Harrison, 95, is very much uncertain.
The two have been companions for more than a decade after a Hollywood-style meet-cute 鈥?they struck up a conversation while standing in line for lottery tickets, with one of the tickets turning into a $2,500 winner. They married earlier this year, with a 95-year-old church elder presiding over the ceremony, no less.
I guess I wanted company, Hill said in an interview, explaining why she married. I wanted somebody [url=http://www.symbiose.ca/images/christianlouboutin.gwij.php]Christian Louboutin Outlet[/url] I could help, and they could help me. We were both single. My husband was gone. His wife was gone. We became the best of friends.
Robin Wright, Hill s granddaughter, said the relationship is more romantic than Hill s explanation allows.
You catch them kissing all the time, she said. They re actually in love. Really in love. I know he s part of the reason she gets up every morning.
Legally, though, the wedding has been problematic. Hill has been declared legally incapacitated for several years. A judge said at a hearing earlier this month that he believes Wright 鈥?co-guardian over her mother along with a sister who opposed the marriage 鈥?acted improperly by taking her mother to get married without the court s permission.
Cary Cuccinelli, representing the sister who opposed the marriage, Patricia Barber, said at a hearing earlier this month that the wedding occurred without other family members knowledge, and that it complicated the matter [url=http://www.museosangennaro.com/Public/wdluk.php]Christian Louboutin Shoes Sale[/url] of how to eventually distribute Hill s estate, which includes property on the edge of Old Town Alexandria, worth about $475,000, according to real estate assessments.
Legally, Mr. Harrison now has a right to a portion of Ms. Hill s estate, she told the judge, saying it also complicates decisions over who will care for Hill, and where she will live.
While the judge, James Clark, found the marriage to have been improper, he also worried that breaking up the couple could create a circumstance in Ms. Hill s life that she doesn t deserve.
Clark ended up removing Wright and Barber as Hill s guardians, and appointing a lawyer, Jessica Niesen, instead. The judge instructed Niesen to investigate the marriage and take all actions appropriate and reasonable to protect the best interests of Edith Hill.
Niesen, in a phone interview, said she is still gathering facts and has an upcoming appointment to meet Hill and Harrison. While there are numerous issues to be sorted out, including questions about inheritance and where the couple will live, she would just as soon let the marriage continue.
I see no reason to break this couple up, if there is no harm, she said. One solution might be a postnuptial agreement preventing Harrison from inheriting Hill s estate.
Niesen said that if she finds that the marriage is not in Hill s best interest, she has the authority to pursue a divorce or possibly an annulment on Hill s behalf.
Wright said she remained concerned authorities would try to break up the marriage. She also opposes a postnuptial agreement, saying the marriage should be respected just as any other.
The interracial aspect of their marriage is unique as well. She is black and he is white. In fact, the longtime Virginians would not have been allowed to marry if they had met in their 20s or 30s or 40s, given Virginia s law banning interracial marriages at the time.
Wright says she has concluded after doing some research through Guinness Book of World Records that the two are likely the nation s oldest interracial newlyweds.
Edith Hill, for her part, doesn t give the interracial aspect of her marriage too much thought, despite the fact that for half of her life it would have been illegal.
Asked about the old laws barring interracial marriage, she said, That s done away with, isn t it?
For now, the two live together in Annandale, with Rebecca and [url=http://www.museosangennaro.com/Public/wdluk.php]Louboutin Shoes UK[/url] Robin Wright helping care for them. Rebecca Wright said the two do a good job taking care of each other 鈥?his hearing is not great, and her vision is not great. They dance, listen to music and take walks, which has improved their health.
And Rebecca Wright said the companionship two people of the same age provide each other can t be underestimated.
They can talk about things that nobody else knows about, she said.
Eddie Harrison said he and Hill never fight, and they both understood what getting married would mean.
The first time I married I didn t know what I was doing, he said. I was 18. She was 26. Two weeks later I wanted a divorce.

That鈥檚 like saying, what do you want for dessert 鈥?zwieback or pandowdy? Such a tough call.
Not long ago, the Giants and A鈥檚 ranked 1-2 in the standings, the two best records in the same region, and it wasn鈥檛 about making the playoffs but whether they鈥檇 survive their respective League Championship Series to meet in the World Series.
Now the question is [url=http://www.museosangennaro.com/Public/anel.php] Christian Louboutin Shoes Sale[/url] whether either has what it takes to simply聽GET to the playoffs. Both have been overtaken by teams from the south, and the dreaded wild card seems the last resort for the A鈥檚 and possibly the Giants.
Just makes those wire-to-wire teams 鈥?the 1990 Reds and 2005 White Sox, for instance 鈥?that much more impressive. The six-month, 162-game Ground Hog Day-fest is bound to have ups and downs, but few teams experience the high-low [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/guccioutlet.onlinesalecc.php]Gucci Outlet Store[/url] extremes quite like our humble roller-coasters by the bay.
The Giants were 42-21 and 9 1/2 games in first place on June 8 (43-21 and 10, if you count the May 22 suspended-game win in Colorado), not realizing their lack of depth among other inefficiencies would send them to a tailspin. Their lead evaporated by the end of the month amid a 5-18 slump that carried over to 21-37 through Aug. 15.
Just before the Giants started re-learning how to win, the A鈥檚 began their own free fall, spitting at their 72-44 record and four-game lead on Aug. 9 by going 8-19, basically forgetting how to hit, throw and catch. They lost 14 games in the standings, turning a six-game lead in June into an eight-game deficit.
It rivaled the Giants鈥?nosedive 鈥?the Giants lost 15 games in the standings, from 9 1/2 up to 5 陆 down. They鈥檝e recently made up ground by going 14-7.
Through it all, both teams had rotation hiccups, demoted their closers, lacked production at second base and had trouble keeping their center fielders on the field. At the July 31 trade deadline, [url=http://www.alportico.net/prodotti/christianlouboutin-sale.jkmsw.php]Christian Louboutin Heels[/url] the A鈥檚 moved Yoenis Cespedes and the Giants failed to land a second baseman, opening the door for Joe Panik.
Things changed, The Giants rebounded, the A鈥檚 slipped. We鈥檒l give the nod to the A鈥檚 for the worse meltdown if only because it鈥檚 at the most rotten time. Either way, both teams鈥?were epic.
What鈥檚 your choice?

A couple notes: the cut-off for a QBR drop that I considered significant was a drop of around 20 points. Some QBs barely missed the [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Belts-Sale-Glasses-Frame-Prices-Eye-Glasses.html]Gucci Belts Sale[/url] cut-offs (see Roethlisberger), but I decided to include them anyways. Also, Rodgers obviously didn’t have a “bad” game week 1, but he did drop his QBR by ~30 points, so I decided to include him as well.
Let’s Take a Closer Look.
The average change in yearly QBR for these QBs is -11.68
This is actually the most disheartening statistic. What this really means is that Romo will probably have a significantly worse season this year, judging by his performance in the first game. None of the QBs who had a significant drop in their first game was able to even get close to their previous year’s performance (at least in terms of QBR).
No QB had a drop as drastic as Romo did
This kind of builds on the previous point, but Romo had a drop of -35.9 points. In our group of QBs only Rodgers gets close to that, and he was playing with a completely ridiculous 122.5 QBR the previous year. What this means is that the Romo we know and love could be a lot worse than we had hoped this year, maybe one of the worst years yet. This does not bode well for the team. However…
Out of all the teams with QBs that we able to stay above 80 QBR, only the and had a losing record
Okay, now we’re talking blue kool-aid. Yeah, yeah I know correlation, causation whatever, but the fact remains there’s some knowledge to be gained here. This is actually the main reason why [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Belts-Sale-Shoes-Canvas-Tote-Messenger.html]Shoes Gucci[/url] I think the might not be so bad this year. Looking at the teams that ended badly: Redskins are always a shaky team, especially in these past few years with RG3′s knee and all. The Saints in 2012 had a horrible defense that gave up the most yards and second most points. I really doubt Romo’s supporting cast this year could be as bad as those two teams. So there’s still a little bit of hope for our Cowboys, especially since the 2013 won their division 12-4. Bad news is, none of the teams who had QBs below 80 QBR made it to playoffs.
Good QBs…stay good
Again going off the previous point, all 3 of the “elite” (ugh) Quarterbacks who laid an egg their first game still managed a pretty good QBR at the end of the year. Brady, Brees, and Rodgers each were above 87 QBR that year, and also still created a situation for their team to at least have a shot at a winning record. (Though [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Handbags-Wallet-Women-Diamond-Watches-New-Perfume.html]Cheap Gucci Handbags[/url] we already discussed why Brees’s 2012 team did not make it) I chose to think Romo is closer to Brees and Brady than he is to RGIII and Michael Vick, so there is reason to think Romo will bounce back better than expected.
Conclusion
Okay, so the prognosis isn’t too great. Romo is all but certain to decline this year, and very few teams with a QB that has declined make it to playoffs. There is still a little bit of hope, as evidenced by both Rodgers and Brady, if Romo can at least maintain a respectable QBR and the defense maintains its performance from week 1, we could end up with a team that is at least vying for a wildcard spot. If not, however, we could be in for a pretty rough year.

Comparable sales represent sales at all restaurants, whether operated by the Company or by franchisees, in operation at least thirteen months including those temporarily closed. Some of the reasons restaurants may be temporarily closed include reimaging or remodeling, rebuilding, road construction and natural disasters. Comparable sales exclude the impact of currency translation. Comparable sales are driven by changes in guest counts and average check, which is affected by changes in pricing and product mix. Typically, pricing has a greater impact on average check than [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Belts-Sale-Kids-Belt-Cheap-Hoodies.html]Gucci Belts Sale[/url] product mix. Management reviews the increase or decrease in comparable sales compared with the same period in the prior year to assess business trends.
The number of weekdays and weekend days can impact our reported comparable sales. In August 2014, this calendar shift/trading day adjustment consisted of one less Thursday and one more Sunday compared with August 2013. The resulting adjustment varied by area of the world, ranging from approximately -0.3% to 0.7%. In addition, the timing of holidays can impact comparable sales.
Information in constant currency is calculated by translating current year results at prior year average exchange rates. Management reviews and analyzes business results excluding the effect of foreign currency translation and bases incentive compensation plans on these results because they believe this better represents the Company’s underlying business trends.
Systemwide sales include sales at all restaurants, whether operated by the Company or by franchisees. While franchised sales are not recorded as revenues by the [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Handbags-Envy-Me-Sneakers-Cheap-Large-Tote.html]Gucci Large Tote[/url] Company, management believes the information is important in understanding the Company’s financial performance because these sales are the basis on which the Company calculates and records franchised revenues and are indicative of the financial health of the franchisee base.

Earl Ringo Jr. was the lead plaintiff in a originally filed in 2008 on behalf of some 20 Missouri death row inmates challenging the constitutionality of the state鈥檚 three-drug execution protocol.The lawsuit became the vehicle used by defense attorneys in numerous challenges to the death penalty in Missouri. The Ringo challenges annoyed state officials eager to clear up a backlog of prisoners awaiting capital punishment.Of course, this backlog was created in large part because the state had so badly its execution protocol that a federal judge ordered it rewritten. But it was easier to blame aggressive criminal defense lawyers.Last year Missouri dropped the three-drug process, but only because manufacturers wouldn鈥檛 supply key execution drugs. The state adopted a 鈥渟ingle-drug鈥?method, using a massive dose of , a barbiturate used [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/clreplicashoes.php] Christian Louboutin Outlet Online[/url] to euthanize animals. The drug is made specifically for the state by compounding pharmacies whose names are kept secret.It has worked well enough that since November, nine of the 20 plaintiffs in Ringo v. Lombardi have been executed with it. At one minute after midnight tonight, Earl Ringo Jr., 40, is scheduled to become No. 10. But the secrecy and deception continue.Early on July 4, 1998, Ringo and Quentin Jones restaurant in Columbia where Ringo had worked, killing a delivery driver and a restaurant employee. Jones 鈥?who was given a life sentence in a plea deal 鈥?testified that Ringo shot deliveryman Dennis Poyser before insisting that Jones shoot manager trainee Joanna Baysinger, 22.Thanks to by Chris McDaniel of St. Louis Public Radio, we now know that Missouri uses two drugs in its 鈥渟ingle-drug鈥?execution process. Inmates get an intravenous dosage of the sedative after they鈥檙e taken to the death chamber at [url=http://www.museosangennaro.com/Public/wdluk.php]Louboutin Shoes Outilet[/url] the Bonne Terre prison. They usually get the sedative a half-hour or so before the execution time at 12:01 a.m. on the date specified by the Supreme Court.Two questions then: Does this mean Missouri is jump-starting its executions before the time set by the court? And why did Corrections Director George Lombardi specifically in February that midazolam is used as part of the execution process?Either Mr. Lombardi didn鈥檛 know what midazolam was or he lied about it. Either way it doesn鈥檛 offer much confidence in [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/guccioutlet.onlinesalecc.php]Gucci Outlet Store[/url] the man charged with making sure that the ultimate punishment is administered according to law. Sadly, it鈥檚 part of a pattern at the Department of Corrections.In part because of all the challenges made under the Ringo lawsuit, the state has become very furtive in the way it executes people 鈥?and the way it intends to execute Earl Ringo.A federal appeals judge already of proceeding with executions before all appeals have been exhausted. Now it turns out that the state is so eager to get the job done that it鈥檚 giving itself a head start.This editorial page opposes capital punishment because it鈥檚 capricious in its administration and is unworthy of a civilized society. It is expensive and serves no deterrent effect. It is the last place where secrets should be kept and competence should be in doubt.

Scott Durkee walks me through his massive garden on Maury Island, where bright yellow tomatoes decorate the vines like Christmas tree ornaments and zucchini have [url=http://www.alportico.net/prodotti/christianlouboutin-sale.jkmsw.php]Christian Louboutin Shoes[/url] grown to the size of infants. But Scott wouldn’t be able to maintain a garden this big if it wasn’t for WWOOF.
“It’s W-O-O-F…or it might be two W’s. World Wide Organic? What I say is Willing Workers On Organic Farms.”
official acronym is World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms. Farms of all types and sizes, located all over the world, belong to the network and offer travelers free room and board in exchange for farm work.
“Every farm is different and my deal is you work five hours a day, seven days a week,” says Scott. “In exchange you get a really nice cabin and three really good meals a day. Other farms might say you have to work seven hours a day, five days a week.”
Scott lives off his land, only eating meat and fish he hunts and catches, and his car runs on vegetable oil. Which is an especially curious and appealing lifestyle to WWOOFers coming from cities.
Childhood friends, Clara Wassalowski and Rebecca Seeberg are visiting the United States from Bavaria. I found the 19 year olds barefoot, on the porch of their little cabin in Scott’s backyard.
“Right now my two WWOOFers are on the front deck slicing tomatoes,” says Scott. “I have a ton of tomatoes right now and I want to slice the tomatoes and experiment with sun drying them.”
Scott will also have the WWOOFers do weeding, composting, wood chopping and anything else he needs done, which includes [url=http://www.symbiose.ca/images/christianlouboutin.gwij.php]Christian Louboutin Sale[/url] sharing them with his 88 year old neighbor, Bob Norton, a retired horticulture professor who manages five acres of fruit trees on his own. Bob is bright eyed, super spry and extremely knowledgeable. He gave us a quick lesson in fruit tree grafting before putting the women to work.
And if you’re wonder why someone would choose to do farm work as a vacation…
“I like to meet people,” Rebecca says. “You get much closer to the surroundings here. We got invited to a neighborhood party already, tonight we’ll go to the football game. Of course, the other thing is that you just learn so much while you’re WWOOFing.”
“How you can say you’ve seen America when you’ve climbed the Statue of Liberty?” Clara wonders. “You’ve seen a part of America when you’ve been with a host family or with people who are welcoming you and you stay with them and you hear their stories. It’s really the only way for me to travel. You get to have the real American experience.”
Scott says it’s not just about having help, it’s about meeting each other and sharing an experience. Clara, Rebecca and Scott discovered they [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/michaelkorssonline.php] michael kors handbags[/url] all like playing music together and Scott often takes his guests on little excursions.
“Anytime the wind blows, I’ll tell the WWOOFers, ‘Drop your tools, we’re going sailing! It’s really nice out there.’ We dig clams. Most of the WWOOFers have never dug clams before. So we dig the clams and the next day we have them in our spaghetti sauce,” he says.
The program is so popular that Scott is booked solid from February to November, taking a week off for himself between every two week WWOOF stay. His guests have come from all over the world, and are usually college age.

A Manchester couple has been charged in connection with a robbery Saturday at a Rite Aid pharmacy in their hometown.
Brooke Frost, 23, and Devon Gray, 25, were arrested Tuesday on charges of robbery, stealing drugs, theft, and possession of scheduled drugs, according to Capt. Dennis Picard, of the Kennebec County Sheriff s Office.
Frost and Gray were being held Tuesday afternoon at the Kennebec County jail in lieu of $20,000 cash bail. Both are expected to make an initial court appearance Wednesday.
Following several interviews, the suspects gave full confessions, Kennebec County Sheriff Randall Liberty said.
Kennebec Journal archives indicate Frost and Gray have two children together.
Police had been looking for a woman who entered the Rite Aid on Western Avenue in Manchester around 3:15 p.m. Saturday and went to the pharmacy and demanded painkillers.
Detective Sgt. Frank Hatch of the Kennebec County Sheriff s Office said at the time that the woman, who was dressed in baggy men s clothing, threatened violence before running out with an undisclosed amount of prescription medication.
Liberty said the woman, later identified as Frost, said, Give me Percocet. I have a gun.
Police, working with a dog, tracked the woman s movement [url=http://www.museosangennaro.com/Public/anel.php] Christian Louboutin Shoes Sale[/url] away from the store. The track failed to lead to the robber, but Hatch said it did turn up evidence, including clothing. He was unsure whether the woman ultimately got into a vehicle.
While investigators think Frost committed the robbery, Liberty said Gray planned the holdup and did an initial walk-through to see if it was a good time to carry out the robbery.
Liberty said investigators from Kennebec and Waldo counties, as well as the Maine [url=http://www.alportico.net/prodotti/christianlouboutin-sale.jkmsw.php]Christian Louboutin Discount[/url] State Police, conducted a number of interviews and used images collected by Rite Aid security cameras to identify Frost and Gray.
Frost was arrested around 8 a.m. Tuesday at a relative s home in Unity. Gray was arrested five hours later when he arrived at the Kennebec County Sheriff s Office for an interview.
Hatch, who investigated Saturday s robbery with Kennebec County detectives Michael Bickford and John Bourque, said additional charges are possible.
We re still looking at whether anybody else might be involved, he said.
It was the second time in a month that the store has been robbed. A man walked into the pharmacy on Aug. 3 and demanded prescription drugs. Thomas Bourque, 31, of Belgrade, was charged in connection with that robbery.
There were a record 56 pharmacy robberies in 2012, but the number of incidents dropped to a handful in 2013 and the first half of this year. There has been an increase in holdups recently, however.
In addition to the two robberies at the Manchester Rite Aid, since Aug. 18 there have been holdups at two Augusta Rite Aids, one at Community Pharmacy inside Goggins IGA in Randolph and another at the Spring Street Rite Aid in Gardiner. Jesse Mansir, 31, of Gardiner, has been charged in connection with the Gardiner robbery.
Police have called Dominic J. Pomerleau, 21, of Augusta, a suspect in both the Augusta robberies, but as of Tuesday he had not been charged.
Nobody has been identified or charged in connection with the Community Pharmacy robbery.
All of the robberies were done by individuals who are addicted to opiates, Liberty said. The spike in heroin addiction is having a significant impact on our communities, our youth and on the safety of our families.
Liberty said most property crimes, such as burglaries and robberies, are [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/guccioutlet.onlinesalecc.php]Gucci Outlet Store[/url] driven by addiction. He said numerous gangs from out of state have set up drug trafficking trades in central Maine.
Meanwhile, drug investigative units are understaffed, underfunded and overwhelmed, Liberty said.
As a society, we must get serious about appropriating adequate funding for substance abuse treatment and drug enforcement or continue to suffer the long-term dangers of the drug trade, he said.
And I’ve had bad timing for some of the more recent years. I was at the game where Rose tore his ACL, which marred what had been an incredible (even Rip Hamilton contributed!) performance. The only crappy game of the classic Bulls-Celtics series in 2009 was a Game 3 blowout loss that I attended. I saw Gilbert Arenas’s buzzer-beater to beat them in 2005.
Some good ones too, though. In that ’05 series I was at Game 1 when “No-Cee-Oh-Nee” was chanted throughout the arena. And another memorable playoff opener in 2011 with . Though it never feels as good as a playoffs victory, [url=http://www.alportico.net/page.php?sale=Black-Gucci-Bag]Black Gucci Bag[/url] there have been some amazing regular season matchups too, including (Rose went 1-13) against Miami and .
But for some reason (the reason, actually: I’m strange) the live experience that stands out was from 2007, in yet another playoff opener with the Bulls taking on the defending champ Miami Heat.
And I’ve probably linked this too many times, but it was mostly because of this Tyrus Thomas sequence:
See? Even the announcers made note of the crowd.
Not sure what it was, exactly. Just something exciting about taking down an aging defending champion with a rookie having what was thought to be an emerging [url=http://www.radiorcs.com/page.php?sale=Kate-Spade-Keeden-Sunglasses]Kate Spade Keeden Sunglasses[/url] moment. The Bulls won that game and swept the series, but it was a high point for that ‘era’ as well as for Thomas. A bit more naive then, it was easy to get caught up into thinking it was just the beginning of something [url=http://www.radiorcs.com/page.php?sale=Kate-Spade-Pocketbook]Kate Spade Pocketbook[/url] special.
Thinking about it more, the post-dynasty home experience hasn’t been full of many high-stakes battles. I didn’t get to go to any more games in 2011 when they got to the Eastern Conference finals, and have pretty much avoided the non-Rose playoff games of the past 3 years given the inevitability of elimination. That did cost me a chance at the Triple-OT game against Brooklyn in 2013, anybody here go to that one? Start your bragging in the comments.
It s almost the day that all Oregon Duck football fans have been waiting for.
On Saturday, September 6, the No. 3 Oregon Ducks will face off with the No. 7 Michigan State Spartans in a clash between a high temp offense and a stout defense.
Saturday s match up will be a true showing of how good each team really is and will [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Michael-Kors-Straw-Bag]Michael Kors Straw Bag[/url] likely set the tone for the remaining season.
Here are five things to watch for in the game.
Oregon s fast tempo offense versus Michigan State s stout defense. How will Oregon s spread offense do against the bigger Michigan State defense front? In recent past years, Oregon s offense has been slowed by bigger teams at the line of scrimmage. Saturday will show whether that trend continues or [url=http://www.radiorcs.com/page.php?sale=Kate-Spade-Jacket]Kate Spade Shoes[/url] not for the Ducks. 聽
Oregon s defensive front against Michigan State s running attack. The Spartans are strong up front at offensive line and will most likely try to mimic Stanford s game plan of running the ball of the last few years.
Marcus Mariota against Michigan State s secondary. The Spartans are headlined by cornerback Trae Waynes and safety Kurtis Drummond. Drummond made 1st team All Big Ten while Waynes will fill the role of recent NFL first round pick Darqueze Dennard.
Marcus Mariota and his Oregon records in reach. He needs just one passing touchdown to be the career leader in total passing touchdowns in Oregon football history. Mariota also is just 22 yards short of total offensive yards from setting the UO record at 8,141 total yards.
Michigan State s running back Jeremy Langford not playing at one-hundred percent health. Against Jacksonville State, Langford was taken out twice with an ankle injury. Although Langford is expected the play against Oregon, not having him at one-hundred [url=http://www.alportico.net/page.php?sale=Womens-True-Religion-Shoes]Womens True Religion Shoes[/url] percent helps Oregon s chances at slowing down the run.

Gonsoulin played for the Broncos for seven seasons from 1960-66.
鈥淎n original Bronco and a member of the club鈥檚 inaugural Ring of Fame Class of 1984, Gonsoulin finished his Broncos career as the all-time American Football League leader in interceptions with 43,鈥?the Broncos said in a statement.
Gonsoulin鈥檚 had 11 interceptions in his rookie season in 1960, [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Handbags-Outlet-Vintage-Shopping-Bag-Optical.html]Gucci Optical[/url] which remains a Broncos single-season record. He also shares the team and league record for interceptions in a game with four on Sept. 18, 1960 at Buffalo.
Gonsoulin attended Baylor University and [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Belts-Sale-Stores-Designer-Handbags-Duffle.html]Gucci Duffle[/url] was captain of the football team. He was born June 7, 1938, in Port Arthur, Texas.

The building was slated for demolition as part of the Baylor Stadium project, following an agreement brokered in June between the university and members of the executive committee of the Baylor Alumni Association.
As part of the transition agreement, the association agreed to dissolve and turn over most [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Outlet-Online-Ladies-Watches-Men-Watch-Vintage-Bags.html]Gucci Outlet Online[/url] of its alumni outreach functions to the university and also to vacate the alumni center by Wednesday.
The university plans to use the space, located on University Parks Drive, as an approach to a pedestrian bridge that would cross the Brazos River.
Although members of the association鈥檚 executive committee approved the proposal in June, the final vote on the proposal is not scheduled until Sept. 7, when it will be put to the association鈥檚 membership and board of 鈥╠irectors.
Two-thirds of the members who attend the meeting would have to vote in favor of the agreement to ratify it.
It was thought that the agreement could bring to an end the tensions between the university and the BAA, an independent nonprofit corporation, that have existed since the early 2000s.
Kurt H. Dorr, a member of the Baylor Alumni Association and a 1983 graduate, requested the temporary restraining order against Baylor University and the Baylor Alumni Association, as well as Elizabeth E. Coker, a Polk County district court judge and former president of the association鈥檚 board of directors, and Collin Cox, a Houston attorney who serves as president of the association鈥檚 board of directors.
U.S. District Judge Walter Smith signed the order Tuesday.
Gerald Haddock, a Fort Worth-based attorney and one of five attorneys who is representing Dorr, described the essence of the case as 鈥渢he democratic process and voting鈥?and protecting the Hughes-Dillard Alumni Center from destruction until the final vote could take place.
Meanwhile, Baylor spokeswoman Lori Fogleman chalked up the development to an internal problem at the BAA. Association staff who were working out of the Hughes-Dillard building already have relocated to the Clifton Robinson Tower, she said.
鈥淔or more than 10 months, Baylor officials have been engaged in active negotiation with the elected leadership of the Baylor Alumni Association, and we now find ourselves co-defendants in a judicial process,鈥?Fogleman said. 鈥淲hile Baylor will vigorously defend the case, we understand this principally as an internal governance issue concerning one member of the BAA and the elected leadership of the BAA. We expect that the court will sort this out.鈥?
$75,000 value
Dorr, who lives in the Chicago area, is not seeking monetary damages, but injunctive relief and a temporary restraining order to 鈥減reserve possession of the Hughes-Dillard building and the BAA鈥檚 other assets鈥?pending a [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Belts-Sale-Boot-Authentic-Belt-Wallet.html]Gucci Belts Sale[/url] vote by the association鈥檚 members, court documents state. The building itself is valued at about $75,000, according to the complaint.
The complaint further alleges that the university does not need to destroy the building as part of its Baylor Stadium project.
Haddock said Dorr is a 52-year-old financial adviser and banker, as well as a longtime 鈥渇riend and supporter of Baylor University and the Baylor Alumni Association.鈥?
A group of association members, incorporated as [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Handbags-Customer-Service-Quotes-Mane-Pictures.html]Gucci Mane Pictures[/url] Independence at Baylor LLC, has been lobbying the organization鈥檚 board of directors to reject the agreement, arguing that the proposal violates a 1993 license agreement between the BAA and the university.
The document, the group argues, gives the BAA the perpetual right to perform alumni functions except in the case of a default on鈥╥ts part.
The group also contends that requiring the BAA to move out of the Hughes-Dillard Alumni Center by Wednesday as part of the transition agreement violates a 1994 contract governing the association鈥檚 continued use of the 鈥╞uilding.
Proponents of the proposal said the transition agreement allowed an independent voice of the alumni association to continue through the Baylor Line magazine, while consolidating the alumni outreach effort.
Neither Coker nor Cox could be reached Tuesday for comment.
A hearing on the temporary restraining order is set for July 10, when a judge will determine whether to extend the order.

The Bad
The Dallas offense, even though they proved that they could move the ball effectively, displayed a tenancy to shoot itself in the foot. shoulders a good portion of the blame with his three interceptions early, but there is plenty of responsibility to be shared. There were mental errors from Pro Bowl caliber tackle and future Hall of Famer Jason Witten. Terrence Williams is still trying to catch the ball with his body, and had a critical turnover on the opening series. The offense cannot afford another outing where it does not get in sync early. Even though the defense looked better than expected, Romo and Company are going to have to have to establish Cowboys dominance early and often for Dallas to experience success.
The Ugly
The Cowboys dominated the the time of possession in the first quarter. They held the [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Sale-Vintage-Duffle-Bags-Women-Sneakers.html]Gucci Women Sneakers[/url] ball for, if my memory is correct, over 13 minutes. Sometimes that is good, it means that the offense is moving the ball and putting points on the board. At other times it means that the opponent’s defense is scoring or giving their offense a short field where they can strike quickly. On Sunday the San Francisco defense was doing both. The Cowboys ability to to make the Niners’ depleted defense look better than they actually were dug the team a hole that they could not escape. By the time the game’s second stanza began, the fat lady was tuning up and getting ready to sing. Take away the first 15 minutes and Dallas played well enough to have at least been in the game. As it was, there way too much ugly for them to overcome.
Like everyone else in Cowboys Universe I am saddened by what we saw on Sunday. Unlike many I am also taking away some positives. The team is a work in progress but I saw enough to believe that they can be more successful than many expect. It will take work, and plenty of it, but this can be a [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Belts-Online-Wholesale-Clothing-For-Less-Aviator-Sunglasses.html]Gucci Aviator Sunglasses[/url] decent season. The first thing that must happen is the team needs to stop beating themselves. Everything revolves around that. The Dallas Cowboys are not good enough to play ugly and win.

CINCINNATI聽鈥?The Cardinals trailed in this game by as much as six runs, and with plenty of relievers to choose from the Reds had a few different choices to help calm an uprising in the seventh inning.It took a dazzling defensive play to do what the arms could not.The Cardinals loaded the bases, got the tying run to the plate twice, and even brought the go-ahead run to the plate in the top of the seventh inning. The inning that began with a six-run deficit ended when A.J. Pierzynski tagged a liner that seemed certain to score two runs and could have cleared the bases had it skipped right into the right-field corner.It never got that chance.Brayan Pena made a lunging dive to his left that caught the line drive and ended the inning with the bases loaded and the Cardinals trailing, 7-3.In contrast to the Reds, the Cardinals have sped through relievers in an attempt to hold Cincy in place and muster a rally. Marco Gonzales worked an inning before the Cardinals went to Justin Masterson. Masterson faced three batters, walked two of them and — voop — was removed swiftly. In came Kevin Siegrist to tickle 96 mph and put the Reds aside in the bottom of the seventh without allowing a run.***Wacha gets to 70 pitches, but not with ideal resultsIf this were a spring training game it would be considered a success for second-year starter Michael Wacha. He got this work in. He toyed around with his third-best pitch, the curve, and took it for a test drive. He got beat around a bit, but that’s OK because he got his work in and got that pitch count up and he’ll be stronger and ready for another start in five days.There is one other thing however to Wacha’s start tonight.It’s September.This is [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/clreplicashoes.php]Christian Louboutin Outlet[/url] as far away from Grapefruit League play as most teams get.Rehabbing in a pennant race continued for Wacha tonight and the Reds capitalized for six runs on the righty in a little more than four innings. Wacha got to 70 pitches — as planned — but he couldn’t get an out in the fifth inning. His laboring started in earnest in the fourth inning as a triple by No. 8 hitter Zack Cozart led to the Reds’ third run. Cincinnati led 2-1 at the time of Cozart’s triple and then quickly 3-1 when he scored on pitcher Mike Leake’s double off Wacha.The Cardinals, so intent on getting Wacha to 70 pitches at least, let him hit for himself in the top of the fifth inning. The Reds did the hitting against him in the bottom of [url=http://www.museosangennaro.com/Public/wdluk.php]Christian Louboutin Shoes Sale[/url] the inning.The first three batters of the fifth inning reached base: a walk, an error, and a double into the left-field corner that scored a run.The double came on a fastball.It was the second extra-base hit off Wacha by Reds catcher Devin Mesoraco in the game, and the Cincy catcher and cleanup hitter had three RBIs before Wacha’s evening was over. Mesoraco’s double ended Wacha’s night and left him with six runs (five earned) on six hits in four-plus innings. He walked three and he struck out three.Two of the runs scored after Wacha had left the game. Jason Motte continues to search for traction since his return from the DL. Brandon Phillips welcomed him to the game with a two-run double.Phillips then scored to put the Reds ahead, 7-1 in the fifth.***Mesoraco rocks Wacha for a 2-0 leadCardinals righty Michael Wacha, not quite yet “full gorilla” when it comes to pitch count, took his first hard bruise since returning from the disabled list tonight in the first inning.Wacha got ahead 0-2 on Reds catcher Devin Mesoraco.Mesoraco worked his way back in the count and saw Wacha’s fastball and he saw the changeup and then with a 3-2 count he saw the third-best pitch the right has: a curve. Mesoraco lobbed it into the left-field seats for a two-run homer. The homer was Mesoraco’s 23 of the season, and it gve the catcher 72 RBIs. That’s one off Todd Frazier’s 73 RBI for the Reds.Wacha was able to get ahead and strike out Mesoraco in the bottom of the third inning to quell a rally. The Reds got two runners on base with a walk and a single. Wacha struck out Mesoraco with two on for the second out. Brandon Phillips struck a liner back at Wacha that the righty caught.The Cardinals had the first two batters of the game on base but Mike Leake quickly got a double play from Matt Holliday and there has been little for the Cardinals since.***Wacha set for second start since lengthy time on DLIf Michael Wacha sees Shelby Miller’s efficiency and matches the righty’s success from Monday night, then it could be possible for Wacha to get at least through six innings tonight at Great American Ball Park.It’s all about the pitch count at this point.Wacha will target between 70 and 75 pitches in his second game back from the stress reaction that erased 2 1/2 months of his season. In his first game back, earlier on this road trip, Wacha threw 50 pitches and allowed one run on three hits through three innings. He was relieved ably by rookie Marco Gonzales. The same formula is in play tonight, just with the Cardinals hoping Gonzales has less work after Wacha plunges deeper into the game.Miller threw seven shutout innings and did so on 76 pitches. He threw 81 total and finished the evening with seven innings and three hits allowed to the Reds.The lineup that will back Wacha is the same that provided Miller with five runs for the win last night. Well, two when Miller was in the game and three on a homer by Matt Adams later in the ninth.Here are the lineupsCARDINALS1. Carpenter, 3B2. Jay, CF3. Holliday, LF4. Adams, 1B5. Peralta, SS6.

SAPPINGTON 鈥⒙燘oth Lindbergh and Mehlville had trouble scoring points in their first two games, but neither could figure out a way from keeping their opponent out of the end zone.Something had to give Monday, and it was Lindbergh which found its footing, rolling past [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/guccioutlet.onlinesalecc.php]Gucci Shoes[/url] the visiting Panthers 30-7.The game was postponed Friday because of severe weather. It resumed Monday with 7:58 to go in the first quarter and Mehlville in possession at its own 36-yard line with a second-and-5.Mehlville (0-3) picked up a few first downs, but the drive fizzled out. Neither team put much together in the first quarter and the game remained tied 0-0.In the second quarter, a couple of big plays opened it up for the Flyers (1-2). The first, a 52-yard pass from quarterback Sam Neumeier to Justin Marchand, put the ball at Mehlville’s 5. Two plays later, senior Steven Washington scored from 2 yards out to give Lindbergh a lead it would not relinquish.The point-after attempt was blocked by the Panthers, but senior Logan Offner added a 45-yard field goal late in the first half for the Flyers to make it 9-0 at halftime.The third quarter was all Lindbergh.”We were hitting our assignments and my reads were right,” [url=http://www.museosangennaro.com/Public/anel.php] Christian Louboutin Shoes Sale[/url] Neumeier聽said about his offense’s turnaround in the second half. “We didn’t really do anything all that different. We just executed our plays.”On defense, the Flyers were bottling up the Panthers’ offense. And taking advantage of mistakes.”Everyone did their jobs,” senior linebacker Kelly Farrell said. “The line. The linebackers. The DBs everybody was playing together.”Farrell said he and his teammates were let down when the game was postponed but had no problem getting ready for a game three days [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/guccioutlet.onlinesalecc.php]Gucci Shoes[/url] later.The tough one might be Friday when they play at Parkway South (2-1) on three days rest.”We’re young. We’ll be ready to play,” Farrell said.Lindbergh scored two touchdowns in the third quarter. The first at 11:33 was a 40-yard toss from Neumeier to Marchand. It was the second play of the second half. Neumeier scored on a 2-yard run with 3:20 to go in the frame, and Malik Johnson closed out the scoring with 32-yard run on the first play of the fourth quarter.Mehlville, which is in a rebuilding phase, averted the shutout when senior quarterback Matt Mik connected with senior Joe Ghormley on a 71-yard touchdown pass.聽Mehlville will also have a quick turnaround when it plays Friday at Seckman. Like the Panthers, Seckman will be looking for its first victory.

U.S. President Barack Obama gives a statement during a press conference in the Brady Press Briefing Room of the White House on August 18, 2014 in Washington, DC. (Photo by Win McNamee/Getty Images)Related Posts
WASHINGTON (AP) 鈥?When racial tensions erupted midway through his first presidential campaign, came to Philadelphia to decry the racial stalemate we ve been stuck in for years. Over time, he said, such wounds, rooted in America s painful history on race, can be healed.
Six years later, the stalemate suddenly seems more entrenched than ever. As Obama pleads for calm and understanding in Ferguson, Missouri, he s struggling to determine what role 鈥?if any 鈥?the nation s first black president can play in defusing a crisis that has laid bare the profound sense of injustice felt by African-Americans across the country.
As Obama sought to strike the appropriate tone Monday, he appeared to be trapped between the need, as president and commander in chief, to stand up for the government s right to ensure law and order, and the inclination, as an African-American, to empathize with those whose say the killing of an unarmed black man just goes to show how blacks are treated differently by police.
In too many communities around the country, a gulf of mistrust exists between local residents and law enforcement. In too many communities, too many young men of color are left behind and seen only as objects of fear, Obama said at the White House, in his most expansive comments to [url=http://www.alportico.net/page.php?sale=True-Religion-Jeans-Size-44]True Religion Mens Jeans[/url] date about the fatal of 18-year-old Michael Brown just outside St. Louis.
But while Obama lamented the disproportional apprehension of young , he pointedly argued that s not solely the fault of overzealous cops. Police officers must be honored and respected for the difficult job they perform, Obama said.
There are young black men that commit crime, the president said. We can argue about why that happens 鈥?because of the poverty they were born into and the lack of opportunity or school systems that fail them or what have you 鈥?but if they commit a crime, then they need to be prosecuted, because every community has an interest in public safety.
It s a delicate balance that s likely to leave no one fully satisfied.
Aiming to reassure edgy Americans that the federal government is fully engaged, Obamaannounced that Attorney General Eric Holder would travel Wednesday to Ferguson to meet with FBI and other officials carrying out an independent federal investigation into Brown s death. Obama said he also spoke to Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon, who has deployed National Guard units, and urged him to ensure the use of those units is limited and constructive. I ll be watching over the next several days, the president said.
Obama also called for the U.S. to reassess the militarization of local police departments that have purchased military gear from the Pentagon. Federal grants for such equipment have come under intense scrutiny amid the alarming images of armored vehicles and tear gas canisters filling the streets of an American suburb.
There is a big difference between our military and our local law enforcement, Obama said. We don t [url=http://www.alportico.net/page.php?sale=Gucci-Duffle]Gucci Duffle[/url] want those lines blurred. That would be contrary to our traditions.
Yet for all the talk of procurement and sentencing disparities and police tactics, Obama has steadfastly avoided personalizing this latest bout of racial friction.
Unlike in 2013, when Obama declared that slain teen Trayvon Martin could have been me, Obama has been careful not to describe Brown s death through the lens of his own experience as an African-American.
And unlike in 2009, when Obama exacerbated tensions by saying police acted stupidly by arresting a black University professor at his own home, this time Obama is leaving the fault-finding to investigators. Obama said Monday he has to be careful about appearing to put his thumb on the scale by weighing in while a federal probe is underway.
Witnesses have said Brown s hands were above his head when an officer shot him repeatedly on Aug. 9 in Ferguson. But police have said the officer was physically assaulted during a struggle over his weapon. Meanwhile, the aggressive police response to the subsequent protests has drawn criticism from across the [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Rose-Gold-Watch-Michael-Kors]Rose Gold Watch Michael Kors[/url] U.S.
Obama s impassive response to the unrest in Ferguson contrasts with a second-term approach in which he generally has been more willing to engage on issues of race. In his remarks Monday, which came during a brief break from Obama s two-week vacation on Martha s Vineyard, the president pointed to his signature initiative, My Brother s Keeper, which aims to bring government, business and nonprofit groups together to empower young minorities to pursue a better future.
We re making some significant progress as people of good will of all races are ready to chip in, Obama said. But that requires that we build and not tear down, and that requires we listen and not just shout.

Missouri state Rep. Jay Barnes last week did something very rare in politics 鈥?indeed, rare in life. What he did will have a positive bearing on the legislative special session that begins Wednesday.The Jefferson City Republican . Here is what he wrote in a letter to constituents:鈥淎dmitting you were wrong isn鈥檛 easy 鈥?whether at home, work or, especially, in public service. This week鈥檚 about owning a mistake I made as your state representative 鈥?eight mistakes, to be exact. Next week, when the legislature re-convenes for veto session, it may consider nine sales or other tax-related bills vetoed by Gov. [Jay] Nixon. On the last day of regular session, I voted for all nine bills. During veto session, I will only vote to override one.鈥漈he bills, dubbed by the Democratic governor , epitomized much of what is wrong [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/gucciusaonlineoutlet.php] cheap gucci[/url] with the Missouri Legislature. A so-called conservative Republican majority, which votes in lockstep on too many issues, passed the handouts to special interests without taking into consideration their effect on the budget. If the vetoes are overridden, the real-world results would be simple: Certain special interests would get a tax break, and schoolchildren, the poor and those in need of mental health services would lose. An analysis by the Office of Administration and another by legislative researchers agreed that the 鈥淔riday Favors鈥?were budget-busters, sucking something like $700 million from both local and state coffers.They鈥檙e not only bad bills, but as both Mr. Nixon and Mr. Barnes point out, they are .Sloppiness is becoming a legislative specialty in the era of term limits.Mr. Barnes鈥?action is significant in that he bucks his own party鈥檚 leadership, specifically Speaker of the House Tim Jones, the Eureka Republican who has urged an override of Mr. Nixon鈥檚 vetoes. Without Mr. Barnes, who has significant influence in the House, passage of the Friday [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/michaelkorssonline.php] michael kors outlet[/url] Favors is doomed.That鈥檚 good news, though it could end up being just a flicker of light in a special session that could see several important vetoes overturned.Republicans are confident they have enough votes (including some Democrats) to overturn a veto of a 72-hour-wait bill for women seeking an abortion. The bill should be dubbed the 鈥淭odd Akin Bill,鈥?because it doesn鈥檛 even include an exception for rape and incest, an offensive provision that recalls that 鈥渓egitimate rape鈥?victims can 鈥渟hut that whole thing down.鈥滸un-crazed Republicans (again, with a few weak-kneed Democrats [url=http://www.museosangennaro.com/Public/anel.php]Cheap Christian Louboutin Shoes[/url] to help out), also are likely to override Mr. Nixon鈥檚 veto of a bill that would make it easier for teachers to carry guns in schools and overturn local laws banning open carry of weapons in towns and cities across Missouri.But the sales tax giveaways, passed without any vetting, and with the worst of purposes 鈥?serving certain lobbyists鈥?agendas 鈥?will die. Credit goes to a summer-long campaign by Mr. Nixon and the courage of Mr. Barnes and likely a few others behind the scenes.The real purpose of the special session in today鈥檚 ethics-free zone of Missouri politics is to raise money. There are no fewer than 29 fundraisers scheduled this week in Jefferson City. Those special interests who lose in the veto session will have a chance to make a down-payment on favors to come.In Jefferson City, there鈥檚 always room for special favors for special friends.
The back injury that derailed former world No. 1 Tiger Woods at the 2014 WGC-Bridgestone Invitational could keep him out through the PGA Championship, but there s no certainty with respect to his status for the fourth major of the year, .聽
His agent spoke to the website and gave a small amount of insight as to Woods status:聽
[url=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Michael-Kors-Fulton-Large-Shoulder-Bag]Michael Kors Fulton Large Shoulder Bag[/url] Way too early. He has to rest and get treatment and then assess later, he wrote. Pointless to make that decision now without proper time to give him best chance. Nothing further today, maybe [not] even tomorrow.
The door s open for a bid to win his 15th major this week at the PGA, but it doesn t look promising considering the nature of the injury and considering that he s just nine rounds removed from surgery to repair a herniated disk.聽
Woods first felt discomfort after a difficult bunker shot sent him down the slope at an angle and caused him to land awkwardly. It was at that point he tweaked something in his lower back, causing the entire area severe pain.聽
It was noticeable, too. Even one of his fiercest rivals, fellow Southern California native Phil Mickelson sympathized with Woods after seeing him from the 11th fairway.聽
It didn t look good, said Mickelson.聽 It looked like he was really in [url=http://www.alportico.net/page.php?sale=Gucci-Designer]Gucci Designer[/url] pain. I hope he s OK. I mean, I hope he s able to play next week. I hope it s a muscle and nothing serious because I m really looking forward to playing with him.
As much as I love playing with him, playing against him, trying to beat him, we all want him in the field. We all want him back. I just hope he s OK.
Mickelson s sentiment echoes that of the PGA TOUR and golf as a whole. The game is better with Woods playing in [url=http://www.radiorcs.com/page.php?sale=Kate-Spade-Tarrytown]Kate Spade Tarrytown[/url] every tournament that matters, even more so if he s winning. So far, he s hasn t been able to stay on the course or in the final pairing on Sundays, and that s troublesome.聽
It means a cloudy future for golf and one of the game s greatest legends. Tiger in his top form was something to behold.聽
Now more than ever, it s a wonder if the sports world will ever have a chance to see that again.聽

It s a scene from days gone by, a sport that s quite foreign to most modern wildfowlers but was quite popular back in the golden age of waterfowling. The ranks are thin but there are still a few who practice the time-honored tradition of rail hunting, which is a melange of other hunting methods.
Like dove hunting, it s an early-season endeavor done on fair- weather days when most hard-core waterfowlers are still golfing. There are always some resident birds around but the action doesn t heat up until the first early fall fronts push migrants down, filling the freshwater, brackish and coastal marshes with an influx of long-billed, long-legged birds that fall taxonomically between shorebirds and web-footed waterfowl. Then it s short-lived as these early migrants will soon be winging their way farther south, well ahead of the first conventional waterfowl seasons in October.
There s also a touch of upland game hunting to it. Rails rise from cover much like a woodock, leveling off before kicking in the after burners for their escape flight. Also like woodcock, they ll sometimes set down within sight offering a follow-up flush, and may bust out singly or in groups.
And it has all the elements of jump-shooting waterfowl. In fact, many hunters use the same sneak boats for rails [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/clreplicashoes.php] Christian Louboutin Outlet Online[/url] that they ll use for puddlers later in the fall. Canoes and kayaks will work but the traditional craft is a narrow sneak boat. You use a small kicker motor to get you to your destination, then switch to manual, propelling the craft with a long pole when it s time to hunt. One hunter poles from the stern while the shooter sits ready in the bow.
Hunters try to use the narrow creeks and guzzles to their advantage, but the birds often stick to the thick cover that you ll eventually have to grunt your way through. Acres of wild rice are a legacy left by past generations [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/michaelkorssonline.php] michael kors outlet[/url] of waterfowlers. Seeded to help then troubled waterfowl populations, the beds spread throughout available habitat, providing much needed food for the annual southward migration.
Rails also inhabit freshwater marshes, which offer hunters the luxury of being able to pick their times as tide is not a factor. Still, most railers prefer the brackish marshes where and when the rising tide congregates birds into more diminished pockets.
There s no need for decoys and waders or the heavy camo garb and high-brass 12-gauge loads of late-season waterfowling. You dress for conditions, which are often mild, and light loads in 20- or 28-gauge guns are all that s necessary.
Few still practice this specialty sport, but it offers a welcome preseason diversion for those who do. Along with rails you ll flush teal, mostly blue wings that serve as harbingers of the big flights of puddle ducks to come as the green grass turns to brown and the maples take on a scarlet hue. It won t be long now.

Competitive gaming, or eSports, is bigger than ever. Valve recently partnered with ESPN to air coverage of back in July with $10 million in prizes up for grabs. Even [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Belts-Online-Sale-Online-Polo-Www-Shoes-Com.html]Www Gucci Shoes Com[/url] still, however, eSports aren t thought of as a real sport according to ESPN president John Skipper.
During a recent , the executive likened eSports to chess and checkers by that, he means it s a competition, not a sport. Skipper followed up by saying he is mostly interested in doing real sports.
To put the comments into context, they came as a result of someone asking him to comment on . One might expect such comments in retaliation from, say, that was also vying for the acquisition. But for ESPN to say that is a [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Handbags-Outlet-Beanie-Hat-Men-Bag-Black-Handbag.html]Gucci Handbags Outlet[/url] bit bizarre.
Following the successful broadcast of the Dota 2 tournament in mid-July which surpassed expectations across the board, rumors circulated that ESPN was looking to expand its eSports coverage. The source for said rumor indicated the network was in advanced talks with Major League Gaming to possibly cover MLG s Call of Duty competitions.
Personal opinions aside, there s no doubt a ton of money to be made from eSports. Sure, gaming tournaments likely wouldn t bring in the kind of ratings one would expect from college football, the NFL, the NBA and other major sporting events but given ESPN s vast number [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Handbags-Outlet-Outlets-Winter-Hats-Belt.html]Gucci Outlets[/url] of channels, I m sure they could find a few empty slots to fill out their lineup.

High-priced, handcrafted furniture wasn t at the top of the must-have list for most consumers when the Great Recession hit in 2008.
The stock market was plummeting, unemployment was rising, banks teetered and credit dried up.
For Dan Maxham, dealing with slumping sales was a new experience. The business, W.A. Mitchell Fine Furniture, had been humming along smoothly since he bought it from founder Arthur Mitchell in 2000. The company s chairs and tables featured clean, Shaker-like lines that were popular with customers and W.A. Mitchell had earned a reputation for quality, backed by a lifetime warranty. Its products appeared in L.L.Bean and Orvis catalogs and in furniture showrooms around New England. A typical dining table and chairs sold for around $5,000.
But furniture sales, high-quality [url=http://www.alportico.net/gosoc.php] true religion sale[/url] or otherwise, fell as the recession and financial crisis hit. When it came to putting food on the table, people were more concerned with the food than the quality of the table.
Maxham saw the impact in the showrooms of the furniture retailers he sold to. As sales trickled, large, empty areas of showroom floors grew. [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/guccioutlet.onlinesalecc.php]Gucci Outlet[/url] Store managers were reluctant to buy more inventory that might sit for months before being sold.
Maxham came up with a plan that allowed shoppers to see his products without tying up retailers capital.
We selected about 10 or 11 dealers we felt would survive the recession, he said, and those dealers became preferred dealers.
Preferred meant the retailers were offered furniture on consignment. The retailers didn t have to pay for a piece until it sold; then they paid Maxham and pocketed the markup.
Maxham also made it a practice to help make deliveries to furniture stores in New England, a practice that has continued.
That gets me into the showrooms and I can talk to the salespeople, because they are the ones who really make the sales, he said.
Maxham said the consignment approach ended as sales recovered following the end of the recession, although the preferred dealer designation continues with a list on W.A. Mitchell s website. Now the designation refers to dealers who agree to carry a minimum number of Mitchell pieces.
My sales since then have grown and we ve got some really great relationships, said Maxham, who estimated his annual revenue at less than $1 million. We do a lot of custom work through (the preferred dealers).
Maxham said he added another craftsman in the past year 鈥?he now has eight workers 鈥?[url=http://capstone.edu.sg/clreplicashoes.php] Christian Louboutin Outlet Online[/url] and added a line of outdoor furniture and some bedroom furniture that s been well-received.

Being Matt Lauer must be a nice job if you can get it — and expensive if you want to keep him. Not only is he reportedly getting a $20 million annual salary from NBC, but the network has reportedly agreed to in the tony Hamptons on Long Island from the Manhattan TV studio, according to Page Six.
Lauer does have an apartment in Manhattan [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/gucciusaonlineoutlet.php]gucci outlet[/url] but his wife and children live in Water Mill, part of Southampton, N.Y. A Today representative said that Lauer will fly home “on rare occasions … but most of the time you’ll find him stuck in traffic on the Long Island Expressway with everyone else.” However, others suggest [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/clreplicashoes.php]Christian Louboutin Outlet[/url] that the flights could be more frequent. Lauer has also told Esquire that the media has .
Whatever the exact details, there seems little question that in the world of well-paid television stars, Lauer receives a large paycheck. Still, helicopter service would be an extraordinary perk. You could chalk it up to NBC’s larger concern over the Today Show because network executives see Lauer as critical to the program’s success.
In 2012, from the show, according to New York Magazine, in part because she and Lauer reportedly didn’t get along. in the wake and Today’s ratings took a slide, according to [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/guccioutlet.onlinesalecc.php]Gucci Outlet[/url] the Mail Online. NBC executives still thought that Lauer was critical to the show’s success.
Ratings did eventually pick up and Lauer signed a new two-year contract in June 2014. Apparently some amount of chopper fare was included.
Lauer has been with Today since 1994. At his next renewal, topping the current offer could be tough. But the real question is, as he’s getting flown back to see his family, is Lauer now an official helicopter parent?

DENVER (CBS4) The business of getting people high has produced some high returns for entrepreneurs in Colorado, but some feel like the state s green rush might be coming to an end.
Many in the marijuana industry refer to the explosion in marijuana retailers and pot-based outfits as the green rush.
Those in the business say they have made their money by [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Sale-Online-Watch-Strap-New-Shoes-Sweatpants.html]Gucci Sweatpants[/url] hard work, not just being in the right state at the right time. But some in the industry aren t certain the climate here is ripe for many more success stories.
I don t know if that s the case that you could have new people jump in and be very successful because that market s pretty saturated and it s got a lot of established operators, said Kayvan Khalatbari, a marijuana store on South Broadway in Denver.
But it certainly can be very profitable.
CBS4 s Suzanne McCarroll interviews Kayvan Khalatbari. (credit: CBS)
Khalatbari operates Denver Relief. He told CBS4 he started consuming cannabis as a teen, and that it helped him deal with anxiety in high school.
Khalatbari also operates a cannabis magazine called Birdy, a standup comedy showcase called Sexpot Comedy which has marijuana-friendly shows and Sexy Pizza, a chain of pizzerias where part of the proceeds go to drug education.
I don t think I jumped in like a lot of people did, I eased in, he said.
The owners of a Highlands restaurant called Jezebel s are in the process of building on their existing [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Outlet-Online-Black-Backpack-Man-Purse-Pink-Perfume.html]Gucci Pink Perfume[/url] business with a marijuana-based operation.
Jezebel s (credit: CBS)
Chef Scott Durrah told CBS4 he s planning to add a cannabis cooking school to the family business that will teach students to infuse their food with marijuana.
This is a meal that the family can eat but also you make a side dish for yourself that s infused. It gives you the option, said Durrah, showing off one of his dishes students will learn how to make.
Chloe Villano says her cannibas-based consulting business is working out so well she seldom has free time.
Cloverleaf Consulting is a consulting firm that started in June 2010 and we ve set up hundreds of businesses successfully in the state of Colorado, she said.

She saw a niche people needing help navigating the business of marijuana, and she raced to fill it.
Villano is like many in the marijuana industry who have come a long way. She says she started with nothing.
And now I live in downtown Denver. I drive a pretty nice car, I m in a high rise and I m doing really well, she said.
People magazine labeled Villano a marijuana millionaire. She is [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Outlet-Envy-By-Mens-Jacket-Vintage-Handbags.html]Cheap Gucci Outlet[/url] now is helping clients set up marijuana businesses outside of Colorado, where there s potential for more green rushes to emerge as more states besides Colorado and Washington consider legalization.

A Manchester couple has been charged in connection with a robbery Saturday at a Rite Aid pharmacy in their hometown.
Brooke Frost, 23, and Devon Gray, 25, were arrested Tuesday on charges of robbery, stealing drugs, theft, and possession of scheduled drugs, according to Capt. Dennis Picard, of the Kennebec County Sheriff s Office.
Frost and Gray were being held Tuesday afternoon at the Kennebec County jail in lieu of $20,000 cash bail. Both are expected to make an initial court appearance Wednesday.
Following several interviews, the suspects gave full confessions, Kennebec County Sheriff Randall Liberty said.
Kennebec Journal archives indicate Frost and Gray have two children together.
Police had been looking for a woman who entered the Rite Aid on Western Avenue in Manchester around 3:15 p.m. Saturday and went to the pharmacy and demanded painkillers.
Detective Sgt. Frank Hatch of the Kennebec County Sheriff s Office said at the time that the woman, who was dressed in baggy men s clothing, threatened violence before running out with an undisclosed amount of prescription medication.
Liberty said the woman, later identified as Frost, said, Give me Percocet. I have a gun.
Police, working with a dog, tracked the woman s movement [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/michaelkorssonline.php] michael kors handbags[/url] away from the store. The track failed to lead to the robber, but Hatch said it did turn up evidence, including clothing. He was unsure whether the woman ultimately got into a vehicle.
While investigators think Frost committed the robbery, Liberty said Gray planned the holdup and did an initial walk-through to see if it was a good time to carry out the robbery.
Liberty said investigators from Kennebec and Waldo counties, as well as the Maine [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/clreplicashoes.php] Christian Louboutin Outlet Online[/url] State Police, conducted a number of interviews and used images collected by Rite Aid security cameras to identify Frost and Gray.
Frost was arrested around 8 a.m. Tuesday at a relative s home in Unity. Gray was arrested five hours later when he arrived at the Kennebec County Sheriff s Office for an interview.
Hatch, who investigated Saturday s robbery with Kennebec County detectives Michael Bickford and John Bourque, said additional charges are possible.
We re still looking at whether anybody else might be involved, he said.
It was the second time in a month that the store has been robbed. A man walked into the pharmacy on Aug. 3 and demanded prescription drugs. Thomas Bourque, 31, of Belgrade, was charged in connection with that robbery.
There were a record 56 pharmacy robberies in 2012, but the number of incidents dropped to a handful in 2013 and the first half of this year. There has been an increase in holdups recently, however.
In addition to the two robberies at the Manchester Rite Aid, since Aug. 18 there have been holdups at two Augusta Rite Aids, one at Community Pharmacy inside Goggins IGA in Randolph and another at the Spring Street Rite Aid in Gardiner. Jesse Mansir, 31, of Gardiner, has been charged in connection with the Gardiner robbery.
Police have called Dominic J. Pomerleau, 21, of Augusta, a suspect in both the Augusta robberies, but as of Tuesday he had not been charged.
Nobody has been identified or charged in connection with the Community Pharmacy robbery.
All of the robberies were done by individuals who are addicted to opiates, Liberty said. The spike in heroin addiction is having a significant impact on our communities, our youth and on the safety of our families.
Liberty said most property crimes, such as burglaries and robberies, are [url=http://www.museosangennaro.com/Public/anel.php] Christian Louboutin Shoes UK[/url] driven by addiction. He said numerous gangs from out of state have set up drug trafficking trades in central Maine.
Meanwhile, drug investigative units are understaffed, underfunded and overwhelmed, Liberty said.
As a society, we must get serious about appropriating adequate funding for substance abuse treatment and drug enforcement or continue to suffer the long-term dangers of the drug trade, he said.

MILWAUKEE COUNTY (WITI) Could installing cameras in some Milwaukee County parks help to fight crime? It s something at least one Milwaukee County supervisor wants to explore. In May, a man was murdered in a Milwaukee County park, and now, [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Handbags-Diamond-Watch-Mens-Watches-Ring.html]Gucci Ring[/url] his death could lead to change.
On a pleasant afternoon at Tiefenthaler Park, the basketball court is busy and kids are playing.
On May 29th a much different scene, as police investigated the fatal shooting of 26-year-old Jacoby Davis. More than three months later, no arrests have been made.
We don t have the resources to place an officer on every corner, or in every park all the time, Milwaukee County Supervisor David Bowen said.
Bowen is interested in installing surveillance cameras in high volume, high crime parks like Tiefenthaler Park.
To ensure that we re being proactive and preventing things from happening, Bowen said.
Bowen has drafted a resolution asking the county to look into the cost of installing and operating surveillance cameras in parks. Bowen says the cameras [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Handbags-Outlet-Cheap-Belt-Jelly-Flats-Hoodie.html]Cheap Gucci Belt[/url] could help prevent or even solve violent crimes.
There s definitely deterrance as well when individuals know they won t be able to get away with something, Bowen said.
Those who visit聽Tiefenthaler Park and are aware of the recent homicide seem to support the idea.
It would be able to monitor activity around here, Dujuan Cherry said.
I would worry about privacy but I think safety first, Yahyal Siddiqu said.
It is too soon to know how much the cameras could cost, which parks they would go in, and how they would be monitored. However, Bowen says he s simply starting the conversation.
I want to ensure that we have a safe place for our children to play and I think surveillance cameras might be one of those options, Bowen said.
Some Milwaukee County parks already [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Handbags-Polarized-Sunglasses-Catalog-Jacket.html]Cheap Gucci Handbags[/url] have cameras including the Mitchell Park Domes, the Lincoln Park Aquatic Center and O Donnell Park.

The Los Angeles Lakers endured a brutal year during the 2013-14 NBA season. Kobe Bryant lasted six games, Steve Nash had his own health issues and the team had it is worst season in recent memory.
But that was all last year. Heading into the 2014-15 [url=http://www.alportico.net/page.php?sale=Discount-True-Religion-Jeans-Men]Discount True Religion Jeans Men[/url] NBA season, there is new life in L.A., as Bryant and Nash are both healthy and new faces like Carlos Boozer and Jeremy Lin are on the roster. It certainly won鈥檛 be easy to mold this current roster into a legit playoff contender, but new head coach Byron Scott brings championship experience and it鈥檚 tough to ever bet against The Black Mamba.
While the Lakers were down last year, they鈥檙e not out just yet in 2014. Let鈥檚 break down their most expensive matchups for the new season and see how they might fare in these pricey battles, with data on provided by Barry鈥檚 Tickets:
Los Angels Lakers @ Cleveland Cavaliers (2/8/15) | Average Ticket Price: $710 | Get-in: $75
There鈥檚 nothing like a meeting between The Black Mamba and King James, as Bryant and co. march into Cleveland to take on LeBron James and the Cavs. Cleveland has the much better team and their tickets are pricey at home, so this adds up to be L.A.鈥檚 most expensive clash by a wide margin. The $75 get-in tag is a borderline steal, however.
Los Angels Lakers vs聽Cleveland Cavaliers (1/15/15) | Average Ticket Price: $510.03 | Get-in: $88
Look at that, number two belongs to James vs. Bryant, as well, although this time it comes in California. Bryant and Nash hope to be healthy for their first clash with the Cavs, as this one comes in January. Both matchups greatly favor a Cleveland team [url=http://www.radiorcs.com/page.php?sale=Kate-Spade-Twirl-Perfume]Kate Spade Twirl Perfume[/url] that also boasts Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving, which clearly adds to the overall value of these pair of Lakers tickets. In addition, with available for as low as $3 for this matchup, it鈥檚 quite the deal for fans!
Los Angels Lakers @ New York Knicks (2/1/15) | Average Ticket Price: $390.60 | Get-in: $87
It鈥檚 a minor step down, but the draw of Carmelo Anthony is always felt at Madison Square Garden, where Kobe and the Lakers have put up some of their best outings. Here鈥檚 to hoping for a historic night in favor of the Lake Show, as fans can get in for under $90 and the $390 price on average isn鈥檛 terrible, either.
Los Angels Lakers @ Chicago Bulls (12/25/14) | Average Ticket Price: $371.71 | Get-in: $79
A hopefully healthy Derrick Rose hosts the Lakers in their fourth most expensive game of the 2014-15 season, while Pau Gasol also faces the Lakers for the first time in years. Chicago holds the edge in talent as well as the home court advantage, but L.A. can use this one as a solid measuring stick. The Christmas Day game carries extra value on the holiday.
Los Angels Lakers @ Brooklyn Nets (3/29/15) | Average Ticket Price: [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Michael-Michael-Kors-Handbag]Michael Kors Handbags Outlet[/url] $368.60 | Get-in: $56
Coming in at number five for the most expensive Lakers tickets for 2014-15 is a March battle with the Nets. This game could rise in price if the Lakers join the Nets as playoff contenders in their respective conference, but this one has value regardless as Deron Williams, Kevin Garnett and Brook Lopez play host to L.A.

Weezy s love for marijuana (and other drugs) is well documented. A variety of drug related arrests in his past and no one to this day still actually knows what substance was in his trademark cup.

I am sitting on the clouds,I got smoke coming from my seat
I can play basketball with the moon, I got the whole world at my feet

Down in a cigar, roll me up and smoke me cause (I feel like dying)

MEMPHIS (WITI/CNN) It s a violent attack that was caught on camera and now, police in Memphis say they have arrested and charged four juveniles.
The attack happened in the parking lot of a Kroger grocery store on Saturday, [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Sale-Online-Robe-Discount-Cheap-Bag.html]Gucci Discount[/url] September 6th.
FOX6 s sister station, WREG in Memphis reports a 15-year-old has been charged with aggravated riot and acting in concert: to wit aggravated assault.
WREG reports the teen was out on gun-related charges at the time of the attack. WREG says the teen wasn t enrolled in school, and his mother was previously charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
That teen is seen in the video wearing a lime green shirt.
WREG reports a 16-year-old is also charged with aggravated riot, and acting in concert: to wit aggravated assault. A 15-year-old and a 17-year-old are charged with aggravated riot.
This, on the same day we re hearing from a man who claims he was victimized in the attack.
The man says he recenlty moved to Memphis, and pulled out his cell phone on Saturday when he was on his way to Kroger, thinking he was recording the start of a flash mob.
Being new to the city, I don t know where I can and where I can t go. As I was starting to get my camera open, a guy popped around a car and said hey bro and just started swinging at me. And I tried to put my hands up, another guy started rushing at me. I took off running backwards through the parking lot, the man said.
Video captured on a Kroger employee s cell phone shows the man.
If you watch the video they say oh they re jacking, they re getting that white guy. I m that white guy, the man said.
The man is seen in the video wearing shorts and a blue shirt pushing several teens out of the way and running into the store.
I had run clear in through the door. I was at the fruit aisle. And I turned back to see if they were still following me. So immediately [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Belts-Sale-On-Sale-Clearance-Sunglasses.html]Gucci Clearance[/url] I pulled out my phone and called 911, the man said.
The man wasn t injured, but when he watched the video of the incident on Facebook, he says he was extremely frustrated.
It was nonsense violence. I can say that for sure. It seemed very unprovoked. They weren t about anything, that it was fun for them. They [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Belts-Sale-On-Sale-Clearance-Sunglasses.html]Gucci On Sale[/url] were out having a good time. They were all smiling they were laughing, the man said.
Laughing, as they knocked out a 17-year-old Kroger employee kicking him in the head and throwing large pumpkins on him as he laid on the ground.
The man new to town says several Kroger employees were recording video of the incident but one man seen at the end of the video knocked out, actually stepped in to defend him and the 17-year-old Kroger employee knocked unconscious.
The man says he s grateful no one was seriously injured, but he says someone has to be held accountable for what happened.
I felt like my life was threatened and I was lucky to get away, the man said.

Back in June, we that was so fed up with people wearing Google Glass while viewing exhibits that he created a program capable of booting the wearable from nearby Wi-Fi networks.
The [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Sale-Online-Robe-Discount-Cheap-Bag.html]Gucci Robe[/url] popularity of Julian Oliver s original program encouraged him to create , a consumer version of his DIY hack that he describes as a wireless defense shield for your home or workplace.
The device, which goes up for pre-order later this month, is about the size of a traditional notebook power supply. When plugged into a wall socket, Cyborg Unplug will scan the local Wi-Fi network in search of Google Glass devices as well as other network-dependent surveillance gadgets including Google Dropcams, Wi-Fi- enabled drones and even certain types of wireless microphones.
Cyborg Unplug can be programmed to perform a number of different tasks [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Handbags-Outlet-Vintage-Sunglasses-Sample-Sale-Www.html]Gucci Sample Sale[/url] when an offending device is detected. For example, an owner could configure it to sound an audible alarm with a flashing LED light, play a sound or recording through a connected speaker and even ping the owner via a smartphone app.
All of this is, of course, in addition to booting the offending device from the network.
While it does have a neat sounding name and a consumer-friendly design, the Cyborg Unplug is little more than a modified router running custom firmware.
Oliver plans to offer two versions of the Cyborg Unplug. A $50 model known as Little Snipper will be limited to just the blinking LED alert while the full-featured [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Sale-Online-Travel-Bag-Gold-Watch-Bracelet.html]Gucci Gold Watch[/url] model, the Axe, will set you back around $85.

CUPERTINO, Calif. Apple unveiled its long-anticipated smartwatch Tuesday, introducing a device that transplants the features of an iPhone onto a smaller screen that’s never more than an arm’s length away.Dubbed the Apple Watch, the gadget marks the technology trend-setter’s attempt to usher in an era of wearable computing and lift its sales with another revolutionary product.The watch’s debut also heralds a turning point in Tim Cook’s three-year reign as Apple CEO. Although the company has thrived under Cook’s leadership, it had only released upgrades to the iPhone, iPad and other products hatched before his predecessor, Steve Jobs, died in October 2011. The lack of totally new devices raised questions about whether Apple had run out of ideas without the visionary Jobs.Now Apple is betting on a gadget that seems like something James Bond might wear. The Apple Watch’s top-of-the-line edition comes in a casing made of 18-karat gold, with an array of elegant bands available for most models. The watch can serve as a walkie-talkie, a drawing pad, pulse monitor, calorie counter and activity tracker.”It is amazing what you can do from your wrist,” Cook said.Apple is a late arrival to the still-nascent market for wearable technology. Several other companies already sell smartwatches that have been greeted with widespread indifference.But Apple has a reputation for igniting dormant markets. Other music players, smartphones and tablet computers were first to market, but the devices did not enthrall consumers until Apple imbued them with its magic touch.The smartwatch “might not only be a game changer for Apple, but for the entire industry,” says FBR Capital Markets analyst Daniel Ives. “A lot of major technology players around the globe are taking notes on what Apple is trying to do here.”Investors appeared lukewarm about the unveiling. Apple’s stock dipped 37 cents to close at $97.99, but the shares had been surging for months ahead of Tuesday’s show. The stock has gained 22 percent so far this year [url=http://www.alportico.net/gosoc.php] true religion uk[/url] and hit an all-time high earlier this month.It will take months to gauge the popularity of the Apple Watch. The $349 device won’t go on sale until early next year.Cook hailed it as the most “personal device we have ever created.”The watch is “the first product we have seen with Tim’s fingerprints all over it,” said Creative Strategies analyst Tim Bajarin, who has been following Apple through most of its 38-year history.The watch will tie into a new payment system designed to enable people to store all their credit card information in a digital locker so merchandise can be bought with a tap on a sensor at a checkout stand or a press of the button.The watch must be used with one [url=http://www.alportico.net/prodotti/christianlouboutin-sale.jkmsw.php]Louboutin Shoes[/url] of the iPhone models released in the past two years the 5, 5S, 5C or the latest versions scheduled to go on sale Sept. 19 in the U.S. and nine other countries.Here’s a closer look at what Apple has in store:—LARGER iPHONESThe iPhone 6 will feature a 4.7-inch screen, up from the 4-inch screen on the models released in each of the previous two years. The iPhone 6 Plus will have a 5.5-inch screen and other improvements, including longer battery life, that will cost an additional $100.App developers will have new tools to rearrange their content to take advantage of that larger screen.The new phones are not as big as Samsung’s latest flagship phones 5.1 inches for the Galaxy S5 and 5.7 inches for the Note 4 but they will be large enough to neutralize a key advantage Samsung and other Android manufacturers have had.The iPhone 6 will also have a barometer to estimate how much users climb stairs, not just how far they walk or run.Apple is improving a slow-motion video feature by allowing even slower shots on the iPhone 6. The camera will be able to take 240 frames per second, double the rate of last year’s iPhone 5s. Normally, video is at 60 frames per second.Starting prices for the new iPhones will be comparable to those in the past $199 with a two-year contract for the iPhone 6 with 16 gigabytes of storage.However, the step-up models will have double the memory as before $299 for 64 gigabytes and $399 for 128 gigabytes. The iPhone 6 Plus phones will cost $100 more at each configuration.—MOBILE PAYMENTSApple is calling its new payment system Apple Pay.Consumers will be able to use their phone cameras to capture a photo of their cards. Apple will verify it behind the scenes and add it to the phone’s Passbook account so people can make payments at a retailer. Apple announced several merchants that will accept this system, including Macy’s, Whole Foods, Walgreens and Disney stores. American Express, Visa and MasterCard all are cooperating with Apple, too, as well as most major banks.For security, the card number is stored only on the device. Each time you pay, a one-time card number is created to make the transaction.—SMARTWATCHCook says Apple had to invent a new interface for the watch because simply shrinking a phone would not work. Much of the interaction will be through the dial on the watch, which Apple calls the digital crown. It’s used to zoom in and out of a map, for instance.Apple worked with app developers to create new functionality. Users will be able to unlock room doors at some Starwood hotels or remind themselves where they parked with a BMW app.The new watch will come in a variety of styles, with a choice of two sizes.—NEW SOFTWAREThough much of the attention has been on new gadgets, the software powering those gadgets is getting its annual refresh. Apple considers iOS [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/michaelkorssonline.php] michael kors bags[/url] 8 to be its biggest update since the introduction of the app store in 2008.Existing iPhone and iPad users will be eligible for the free upgrade, too.Among other things, iOS 8 will let devices work better in sync. For instance, it will be possible to start a message on an iPhone and finish it on an iPad. With an upcoming Mac upgrade called Yosemite, it will be possible to continue working on that same message on a Mac computer. These handoff features will extend to the Apple Watch.The new software will be available to existing users on Sept. 17.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) – Julius Thomas dad likes to remind his son where he got his great hands.
Greg Thomas was a 6-foot-6 wide receiver at Pacific University in the early 1980s when his own NFL dreams were dashed by a career-ending knee injury.
He was in the stands Sunday night when his son tied Shannon聽Sharpe s franchise record for a tight end by hauling in three TD passes in Denver s 31-24 win over Indianapolis.
Dad showed he s still got it, too.
He made his way into the stands in the south end zone, where Thomas scored his trio of touchdowns in the second quarter.
After the Broncos 6-foot-5, 250-pound tight end scored his first TD, his father hollered for the football.
My dad, he s no small guy. It doesn t matter where he s at, he s easy to find, Thomas said. He makes it down to that rail somehow, some way. He s got his arms open, I give it a toss over there.
The throw was so low Thomas feared his father might topple over the rail.
I threw a bad ball and he made a good catch, Thomas said. Maybe that s where I get it from.
Growing up, he d seen those grainy beta tapes of his father [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Discount-Skull-Cap-Discount-Wallets-Dress-Shirts.html]Gucci Discount[/url] that were part instructional video, part showoff time. But Thomas didn t inherit a strong arm leave that to the Manning bloodlines so he didn t want to risk another throw again after his first toss went so awry.
Yeah, second and third touchdowns, he was waving for me, Thomas said. I was like, I m too tired. I barely got the first one to you. I can give it to you next week if you want it.’
Thomas size and speed, along with his power forward DNA he led Portland State to the NCAA basketball tournament twice makes him a prime target for Peyton Manning, especially near the goal line.
He set a franchise record for tight ends with a dozen TD grabs last season, then was Manning s safety valve in wins over San Diego and New England in the playoffs.
The Colts had no answer for Thomas, who finished with seven catches for 104 yards in the Broncos 31-24 win. His trio of touchdowns came in single coverage against two linebackers and a safety.
Julius Thomas tries to escape a Colts defender during the first half. (credit: Evan Sem贸n for CBS4)
He s a monster. A really, really good player, Colts coach Chuck Pagano said. He is a match-up nightmare.
Thomas first touchdown came with Jerrell Freeman draped on him. He outraced D Quell Jackson on his second score. And he juked safety LaRon Landry at the line on a 5-yard TD.
It s like backyard football with your little brother or cousins. I don t believe you should be (successfully) covered 1-on-1, Thomas said.
Thomas also had [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Outlet-Online-Black-Backpack-Man-Purse-Pink-Perfume.html]Black Gucci Backpack[/url] a big opener a year ago, when he caught five passes for 110 yards and two TDs in a walloping of Baltimore that sent fantasy football players scrambling to their laptops to pick him up.
After catching just one pass in his first two NFL seasons, Thomas had a breakout year last season with 65 receptions for 788 yards.
After earning his first Pro Bowl honor, he spent time in the offseason with Tony Gonzalez to work on fine-tuning his game, especially his run-blocking.
That work shows.
His feel for the game is better, coach John Fox said. He s been in a lot more situations now, whether it s in [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Discount-Loafers-Women-Hanbags-Blazer.html]Gucci Discount[/url] the blocking element or in the passing game. He s improved and I m sure he s a lot more confident.
He ll soon be a lot richer, too.
He s making $645,000 this season in the final year of his rookie contract. The Broncos wanted to get long-term deals done with both Thomas and wide receiver Demaryius Thomas during training camp but failed to reach agreement with either one.
Thomas is never one to relax, though, and he noted after his three-TD game that he needs to clean up some things. He had a second-half fumble and failed to corral an onside kick.
Eric Decker did that for us a year ago. Julius was the backup. And so that s his first live one, Fox said. Obviously, that ll be something we work on a little bit this week.
Thomas might also want to work on those throws when he gets the chance.
Notes: S David Bruton is day to day with a dislocated left shoulder, a result of a hit by Colts S Colt Anderson on a second-quarter touchback that wasn t close to being returnable. Whether you like it or not, it was a legal hit, Fox said. It s allowed in the game. I ll leave it at that.

No one is talking about Clayton Kershaw of the Los Angeles Dodgers winning the Cy Young award in the NL for a third time. It s about the National League MVP. While it s not longer very common to see pitchers winning the award, it s not like it s never happened before.
The last pitcher to win an MVP award is聽Justin Verlander聽in 2011 with the Detroit Tigers in the AL. He finished the year with a 24-5 record, a 2.40 ERA and leading the league with 250 strikeouts, a 172 ERA+, an 0.920 WHIP and a league best 6.2 hits per nine innings pitched. Kershaw is 17-3 this season in 23 starts including six complete games with a 1.70 ERA, a 210 ERA+, 1.89 FIP, 0.827 WHIP, leading the NL with 10.9 strikeouts per nine innings and giving up just 6.1 hits per nine innings.
In the National League? The last pitcher to win the MVP was Bob Gibson in 1968. That year he had the incredible 1.12 ERA while finishing the year at [url=http://www.radiorcs.com/page.php?sale=Jimmy-Choo-India-Sandals]Jimmy Choo India Sandals[/url] 22-9. He pitched 28 complete games and had 13 shutouts. His WHIP was 0.853 and allowed just 5.8 hits per nine innings. He also had an ERA+ of 258. Only Greg Maddux in 1995 and Pedro Martinez in 2000 have higher adjusted ERA numbers in the last 100 years.
Things are a bit different in the American League. Still, there were 19 years between Verlander and the previous pitcher to win the MVP, Dennis Eckersley in 1992.聽He is the last relief pitcher to win the award, At age 37, it was his last All-Star year, making 51 saves. He played until 1998, but was never close to those numbers again.
Six years earlier it was Roger Clemens of the Boston Red Sox who won the MVP. He finished with a 24-4 record and a league-best 2.48 ERA, while also leading in adjusted ERA, WHIP and H/9.聽Willie Hernandez聽of the Detroit Tigers won the MVP two years earlier (1984 for those who are a bit lost), another relief pitcher with an impressive 140 innings pitched that season.
In the early days of baseball things were easier for pitchers. They also got the award [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Michael-Kors-Quilted-Handbag]Michael Kors Quilted Handbag[/url] a lot more, although it wasn t always the MVP. Only in 1931 did the聽BBWAA first award it. In the National League, five of the first 13 winners were pitchers: Carl Hubbell (twice), Dizzy Dean, Bucky Walters and Mort Cooper. In the AL, the first pitcher to win the MVP was Lefty Grove in 1931 but it took 12 years for the next one to come by: Spud Chandler of the New York Yankees, beginning a three-year AL streak for pitchers and the MVP award, followed by Hal Newhouster winning the award twice.
In 1950 Jim Konstanty won the award in the NL. Two years later it was聽Bobby Shantz聽in the AL s Philadelphia Athletics to win the MVP. It took 16 more years [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Christian-Louboutin-Fifi]Christian Louboutin Fifi[/url] for another AL pitcher to win the award: Denny McLain of the Tigers in 1968. Three years later it was Vida Blue (1971), 10 years before Rollie Fingers picking up the award.
In the NL, between Konstanty and Gibson there were 18 years, in which two pitchers won the MVP award: Don Newcombe of the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1956 and Sandy Koufax of the Los Angeles Dodgers in 1963. If Kershaw does win the MVP award in 2014, the comparisons to Koufax will only grow, although there is the small matter of pulling off some playoff magic to take care of.

(Photo by Brendan Hoffman/Getty Images) Related PostsThis week, Missouri Legislature s Republicans are attempting to make it even harder for women to access abortions. In a move that Democratic Gov. Jay Nixon has denounced as extreme and disrespectful, the state is now poised to pass a bill that would mandate a 72-hour waiting period for women wanting to terminate a pregnancy. This is triple the current 24-hour waiting period. Our intent is to make sure that a women has the opportunity to really think through what she s about to [url=http://www.radiorcs.com/page.php?sale=Kate-Spade-Owl-Bag]Kate Spade Owl Bag[/url] do and how it will affect her health as well as the life of her baby, Susan Klein, a lobbyist for Missouri Right to Life, told the Associated Press.
However, opponents maintain the most jarring aspect of this bill is its omissions, specifically the fact that it makes no exceptions for victims of rape and incest.
By failing to include an exception for rape and incest, House Bill 1307 demonstrates a callous disregard for women who find themselves in horrific circumstances,鈥?Gov. Nixon [url=http://www.alportico.net/page.php?sale=Gucci-Sukey]Gucci Sukey[/url] said when he initially vetoed the bill.
鈥淟engthening the already extensive waiting period serves no demonstrable purpose other than to create emotional and financial hardships for women who have undoubtedly already spent considerable time wrestling with perhaps the most difficult decision they may ever have to make,鈥?he continued.
But even as Nixon signed his name on the veto, an override seemed inescapable. The GOP knows it has the votes it needs, and this is just one more step in a clear trend that has been emerging. In less than a decade, three Missouri clinics have quit offering abortions, so many patients have to travel an average of nearly 100 miles to terminate their pregnancies in St. Louis. Adding an additional two days to the waiting period is yet another hurdle for women seeking help in the area.
It really is just a cruel way to force a woman to delay her health care, said M Evie Mead to [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Tory-Burch-Discount]Tory Burch Outlet[/url] the Associated Press. She is the director of statewide organizing for Planned Parenthood Advocates in Missouri.
If this bill passes, it would be one of the nation鈥檚 strictest limitations on abortion and among the longest waiting periods to date, coming second only to South Dakota, where their 72-hour wait can sometimes extend even longer because of weekends and holidays. Planned Parenthood, which operates the state鈥檚 last licensed abortion clinic, has yet to specify whether they would file a legal challenge against an extended waiting period.
Missouri lawmakers will vote on this veto override as well as possible overrides on bills about guns, school transfers and more, at a special session this week.

LOS ANGELES 鈥?Banter by two Fox News Channel [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/gucciusaonlineoutlet.php] cheap gucci[/url] hosts about video showing football player Ray Rice hitting his future wife has come under fire.
The Fox Friends hosts, Brian Kilmeade and Steve Doocy, made their on-air comments Monday while discussing newly released video showing Rice hitting Janay Palmer in an elevator in February.
Kilmeade said that the lesson to be learned was, in his words, take the stairs.
Doocy responded that the message is to remember that elevators include cameras.
The comments, which were criticized as inappropriate by media observers and in online posts, will be discussed on Tuesday s Fox Friends, the channel [url=http://www.alportico.net/prodotti/christianlouboutin-sale.jkmsw.php]Christian Louboutin Discount[/url] said.
Rice was let go by the Baltimore Ravens on Monday and suspended indefinitely by the NFL after the video s release. His lawyer, Michael Diamondstein, declined to comment.
The video clip, released by TMZ Sports, shows Rice and Palmer in an elevator at an Atlantic City casino. Each hits the other before Rice knocks Palmer off her feet and unconscious, according to police.
Months ago, a TMZ video showed Rice dragging Palmer from the elevator at [url=http://www.alportico.net/prodotti/christianlouboutin-sale.jkmsw.php]Christian Louboutin Replica[/url] the Revel casino, which closed Sept. 2.
He had been charged with felony aggravated assault in the case, but in May he was accepted into a pretrial intervention program that allowed him to avoid jail time and could lead to the charge being purged from his record.

DENVER (CBS4) CBS4 has learned that a 26-year-old [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Outlet-Purse-Slides-Hysteria-Bag.html]Gucci Purse[/url] Denver transient has been jailed for investigation of attempted murder after he attacked a female Denver police officer, attempted to wrestle away her gun, and later said he 鈥渨ould have killed her鈥?if he had obtained her weapon.
Stephen K. Hamper is being held in the Denver city jail for one count of investigation of attempted murder.
According to police sources, Officer Aubree Thompson was sent to contact Hamper Saturday after he was seen washing his clothes near Interstate 25 and South Downing Street. When Hamper failed to respond to the officer鈥檚 [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Handbags-Wallet-Women-Diamond-Watches-New-Perfume.html]New Gucci Perfume[/url] questions she attempted to handcuff him, and according to a written report, 鈥淗e attacked the officer.鈥?

STATS RECAPS
TOP SPOTS
NEW YORK (AP) – Curtis Granderson had a lot to live up to when he signed a $60 million, four-year contract with the Mets in the offseason.
For much of this year, though, it s been a struggle for the three-time All-Star after moving across town.
He came through on Monday night, hitting a tying triple off former-Met LaTroy Hawkins and scored two pitches later on Wilmer Flores sacrifice fly to give New York a 3-2 win that stopped the Colorado Rockies four-game winning streak.
Things may be looking up for Granderson, who has seven RBIs over his last four games hitting .400 during that stretch. Manager Terry Collins believes that the pressure of changing leagues and trying to fulfill a big contract may have gotten to him for a good portion of the season.
It is a little different game, different pitchers and a lot of [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Belts-Online-Handbags-Belts-Wallet-Sale.html]Gucci Belts Online[/url] other things he is not used to, Collins said. He is swinging the bat good right now and that is good for us.
After Lucas Duda s RBI double in the first, Jordan Lyles, Tommy Kahnle, Brooks Brown and Christian Friedrich pitched shutout ball through the eighth.
Travis d Arnaud doubled leading off the ninth against Hawkins (3-3), who blew a save for the third time in 25 chances.
Granderson s triple past right fielder Charlie Blackmon scored pinch-runner Eric Young Jr. Granderson then scored easily ahead of Drew Stubbs off-line throw on Flores fly to center.
Carlos Torres (7-5) pitched a perfect ninth for the Mets, who wore camouflage jerseys as they started a 10-game homestand.
Michael Cuddyer tied the score in the second with his seventh home run. Activated before the game, Cuddyer had been on the disabled list since Aug. 24 because of a strained left hamstring, his third DL stint this season.
I was able to get a good pitch to hit and fortunately I didn t miss it, said Cuddyer.
Nolan Arenado homered off Vic Black s changeup on an 0-2 pitch leading off the eighth for a 2-1 lead.
I just threw a bad breaking ball to a guy that is a good hitter, said Black.
Mets starter Jonathon Niese allowed one run and eight hits in 6 2-3 innings, struck out seven and walked one. His curveball was hit or miss at times, but the 6-foot-3 left-hander made pitches when he needed to.
There was some that were good and some that were not so good, said Niese. Fortunately the good ones I was able to get outs on, and the bad ones they did [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Sale-Online-1973-Bridal-Shoes-Retailers.html]Gucci Sale Online[/url] not crush like they probably should have.
Lyles gave up one run and three hits in six innings.
Mets center fielder Juan Lagares ran into left-center and extended to make an outstanding backhand catch to rob Arenado of an extra-base hit with a runner on in the first.
Kahnle, a 25-year-old rookie from Latham, New York, pitched a perfect seventh for Colorado.
TRAINER S ROOM
Rockies: C Wilin Rosario, activated Sunday after a stint on the DL caused by left wrist inflammation, pinch hit in the seventh and remained in the game at catcher. He was 0 for 2. I m going to ease him in this series, Rockies manager Walt Weiss said before the game. I look at his situation a little bit different as a catcher. Blackmon and 1B Justin Morneau, who leads the NL with a .316 batting average, were not in the starting lineup. They ve been going at it pretty good, Weiss said. It seemed like a good time to give them a day.
Mets: 2B Daniel Murphy (strained right calf) is expected to be activated from the 15-day DL on Tuesday, according to Mets general manager Sandy Alderson.
UP NEXT
Rockies: Rookie RHP Christian Bergman (2-2) starts Tuesday and will be looking to win for the third time in four outings [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Sale-Online-Women-Shoes-Shoe-Sale-Men-Watches.html]Gucci Shoe Sale[/url] since returning from a broken left hand on Aug. 24.
Mets: RHP Jacob deGrom (7-6) faces Colorado for the first time. He has not allowed an earned run in 14 innings.
EXTRA, EXTRA
The Mets had six hits in the game, all for extra bases, marking the first time in franchise history that they had five or more hits and no singles.
KEEPING SCORE
According to the Elias Sports Bureau, tonight s matchup was Howie Karpin s 900th regular season game as official scorer dating back to September 13, 1998, at Yankee Stadium. A long-time fixture in New York-area press boxes, Karpin has also been the official scorer for three World Series games as well as the 2013 All-Star Game held at Citi Field.

We thought that the would have died down by now, and that we d all be focusing on some other celebrity mini-scandal. But that is decidedly not the case.
PYT owner Tommy Up, who says he was responsible for posting McCoy s 20-cent tip receipt to Facebook聽after the Eagles player left his restaurant, has taken to 聽again, [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Tory-Burch-Saffiano-Zip-Continental-Wallet]Tory Burch Saffiano Zip Continental Wallet[/url] this time to issue a statement providing new insight into the actions of McCoy and his companions while they were at PYT on Monday afternoon.
Up maintains that McCoy’s table received “excellent” and “impeccable service” but that he and his group “were verbally abusive 鈥?in the most insulting ways” to PYT’s staff.
Here’s more from Up’s statement:
The derogatory statements about women and their sheer contempt for the staff serving them wasn’t the end, however. After Mr McCoy and his group left I looked over and saw their server, my friend, with his head bowed down and with a very confused look on his face. I took the receipt out of his hand and I couldn’t believe that anyone could be so callous. Mr McCoy had left a .3% tip for our staff.
Our staff [url=http://www.alportico.net/page.php?sale=Baby-True-Religion-Jeans-On-Sale]Baby True Religion Jeans On Sale[/url] that was beyond excited to see him walk into our burger joint and was excited to serve him. That’s twenty cents on a tab of over $60. Twenty cents that our server has to split with the food runner and the bartender.
Two dimes from an insulting multimillionaire.
Meanwhile, McCoy hasn’t had much to say about the [url=http://www.radiorcs.com/page.php?sale=Pink-Kate-Spade-Purse]Pink Kate Spade Purse[/url] matter, other than to tell Daily News sports reporter Les Bowen that it was “bullshit.” But he apparently didn’t deny leaving the 20-cent tip.
Asked LeSean McCoy about the restaurant receipt thing. 鈥淚t鈥檚 bull****, man,鈥?he said. Declined request to elaborate.
Les Bowen (@LesBowen)
On McCoy receipt thing: my understanding is, he was really ticked about service. But org wishes he鈥檇 handled it differently. He understands
Les Bowen (@LesBowen)
Up declined to elaborate on the specifics of McCoy’s statements at PYT, and an Eagles PR rep said that the team would review the statement and get back to us.

High-priced, handcrafted furniture wasn t at the top of the must-have list for most consumers when the Great Recession hit in 2008.
The stock market was plummeting, unemployment was rising, banks teetered and credit dried up.
For Dan Maxham, dealing with slumping sales was a new experience. The business, W.A. Mitchell Fine Furniture, had been humming along smoothly since he bought it from founder Arthur Mitchell in 2000. The company s chairs and tables featured clean, Shaker-like lines that were popular with customers and W.A. Mitchell had earned a reputation for quality, backed by a lifetime warranty. Its products appeared in L.L.Bean and Orvis catalogs and in furniture showrooms around New England. A typical dining table and chairs sold for around $5,000.
But furniture sales, high-quality [url=http://www.alportico.net/gosoc.php] true religion outlet[/url] or otherwise, fell as the recession and financial crisis hit. When it came to putting food on the table, people were more concerned with the food than the quality of the table.
Maxham saw the impact in the showrooms of the furniture retailers he sold to. As sales trickled, large, empty areas of showroom floors grew. [url=http://www.museosangennaro.com/Public/wdluk.php]Louboutin Shoes Sale[/url] Store managers were reluctant to buy more inventory that might sit for months before being sold.
Maxham came up with a plan that allowed shoppers to see his products without tying up retailers capital.
We selected about 10 or 11 dealers we felt would survive the recession, he said, and those dealers became preferred dealers.
Preferred meant the retailers were offered furniture on consignment. The retailers didn t have to pay for a piece until it sold; then they paid Maxham and pocketed the markup.
Maxham also made it a practice to help make deliveries to furniture stores in New England, a practice that has continued.
That gets me into the showrooms and I can talk to the salespeople, because they are the ones who really make the sales, he said.
Maxham said the consignment approach ended as sales recovered following the end of the recession, although the preferred dealer designation continues with a list on W.A. Mitchell s website. Now the designation refers to dealers who agree to carry a minimum number of Mitchell pieces.
My sales since then have grown and we ve got some really great relationships, said Maxham, who estimated his annual revenue at less than $1 million. We do a lot of custom work through (the preferred dealers).
Maxham said he added another craftsman in the past year 鈥?he now has eight workers 鈥?[url=http://www.alportico.net/prodotti/christianlouboutin-sale.jkmsw.php]Louboutin Shoes[/url] and added a line of outdoor furniture and some bedroom furniture that s been well-received.

INDIANA (WITI/CNN) She was missing for two months聽 聽held captive, living in a cage in a mobile home in Indiana. An unlikely hero is speaking out, after his brave actions helped to lead the woman to freedom.
Joelle Lockwood
Joelle Lockwood was reported missing on July 9th.
FOX6 s sister station, FOX59 in Indianapolis reports Lockwood left a friend s apartment that night. She had reportedly been drinking, and was described as heavily intoxicated.
FOX59 reports while walking on the street, a friend saw Lockwood and offered her a ride. They apparently used narcotics at a residence, and then Lockwood s friend dropped her off at another location to see some other friends.
She left that house, and wasn t heard from again until Saturday, September 6th when police received a call from her parents, saying she was alive.
FOX59 reports two people have been arrested in the case. They face preliminary charges of rape, kidnapping, criminal confinement and conspiracy to commit rape. They are 37-year-old Ricky Roy House Jr. and 44-year-old Kendra Tooley.
Ricky Roy House Jr. and Kendra Tooley
Lockwood says House and Tooley offered her a ride on July 9th. She went with them to their mobile home, spending some time there before deciding to leave.
FOX59 reports court documents say House 鈥減laced chloroform over her mouth and nose, causing her to lose consciousness.鈥?
Over the course of the next 59 days, FOX59 reports she was bound to a bed and only allowed to go out on three occasions. She was forced to wear a red dog collar with a rope or leash attached [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Handbags-Suits-Pants-Beanie.html]Cheap Gucci Handbags[/url] to it. She was repeatedly sexually abused, court documents revealed. She was beaten on multiple occasions and wasn鈥檛 allowed to contact anyone. She was watched all of the time and forced to stay in a wooden cage built by House.
It was September 4th when Ronald Higgs went to visit Tooley his ex-wife.
Ronald Higgs
She slid over on the couch beside me and said I ve got a girl back here in a cage. I said you got a girl back here in a cage? What are you talking about?’ Higgs said.
The girl in the cage was Joelle Lockwood.
Higgs says the cage was about two-and-a-half feet tall, stuffed in a room, hidden from plain view.
No food, no water, nowhere to use the bathroom, Higgs said.
Higgs says when he first saw Lockwood, she was only wearing a T-shirt and a dog collar with a rope tied to it apparently being treated as a slave.
This just isn t adding up. When she cooked all of our meals she said can I have something to eat? They said if there s something left, you can have something to eat,’ Higgs said.
Higgs returned to the trailer the following night September 5th. That s when he says Lockwood made her plea for freedom.
She says please don t leave here without me. I said what s the matter? She says I ve been here for over 60 days and they put me in that cage,’ Higgs said.
It was then that Higgs says he realized Lockwood s fate was in his hands.
I didn t really know what I could do because I m nowhere near the man I used to be, but I m not leaving this house without her. I don t care what I have to do. She s coming home, Higgs said.
Higgs says he initially tried to buy Lockwood s freedom, but he couldn t make a deal. He realized force was the only way [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Handbags-Outlet-Beanie-Hat-Men-Bag-Black-Handbag.html]Gucci Men Bag[/url] and it was at that point that he found out the allegedly sinister reason for Lockwood s capture.
But the whole time during it all they was talking about a baby. She s not leaving here until she has the baby. I m not selling her. You re not taking her. You re not doing nothing. She told me Ricky was raping her, making her have oral sex. Kendra can t have more children and Ricky doesn t have any children of his home. I hate to say this to the public or even her even hearing it, but I think they were just going to have a baby and we would never see her again, Higgs said.
Higgs says he tried to take Lockwood out of the trailer, but was stopped [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Outlet-Online-Joy-Tote-Luggage-Hats.html]Gucci Outlet Online[/url] by House and his shotgun.
He stuck that shotgun right here under my chin with his finger on the trigger. He said I m going to kill you. And you ll probably bleep this out, but I said if you re going to (expletive) kill me you better do it now or I m going to take this (expletive) away from you an beat you to death with it,’ Higgs said.
Higgs says House lowered his gun and a fight ensued. Higgs says he was able to head-butt House, and fend him off. But Lockwood wasn t faring as well.
Joelle was sitting in the floor crying, naked, with Kendra beating on her. Just beat her down to the ground, took her clothes off of her, Higgs said.
Higgs says while House retreated to another room in the trailer, he saw his opportunity to escape with Lockwood. Higgs says he convinced Tooley that if she let Lockwood leave, he wouldn t go to the police.
I actually think they believed I wasn t going to do anything about it, Higgs said.
Higgs says he left with Lockwood taking her to his house. The first thing Lockwood asked for was a shower. After she was cleaned up, she was reunited with her family outside Higgs home.
I m 61 years old and I don t even cry at funerals, but I busted out crying like a baby, Higgs said.
As for the accused, Higgs has a recommendation for a fitting punishment.
I told the police last night I hope you all have some real small cells. That s where they need to spend the rest of their lives, in a real small cell,’ Higgs said.

You thought real agents had every niche covered?
You ain’t seen nothin’ yet (literally).
Jackie Youngblood, an agent with Keller Williams [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/gucciusaonlineoutlet.php]gucci outlet[/url] in Tampa, Fla., caters to nudists who are coming to Pasco County, known as the nudist capital of North America for its 12 clothing-optional resorts.
Just how big is the nudist niche? In the first six months of this year, Youngblood sold 22 properties at prices ranging from $135,000 to $800,000. Though Youngblood does sell to “textiles” – an affectionate term for non-nudists – she estimates that nudist clients make up 85 percent to 90 percent of her business. Most are either purchasing a second home [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/gucciusaonlineoutlet.php] cheap gucci[/url] or retiring in the community, she said.
“Many are buying in cash,” Youngblood adds. “Most of them are businesspeople who have watched their money over the years – and when they want something, they get it.”
Nudist real estate has become so popular in the area that it’s even caught the attention of television network TLC. In [url=http://www.alportico.net/gosoc.php]true religion jeans[/url] October 2013, Youngblood signed on to have her work life filmed as she shows properties to clients – who are very much in the buff during the showings.
The show, “Buying Naked,” which airs on TLC at 11 p.m. on Saturdays, chronicles Youngblood as she helps nudist couples hunting for the perfect home in clothing-optional communities.

YoungWilliams, the call center contractor that was with the Missouri Department of Social Services, has submitted its corrective action plan to address long wait times and busy signals incurred by Missourians seeking help with Medicaid and food stamp benefits.Earlier this month, found that many Missourians are spending more time on the phone trying to receive help from the company鈥檚 call center in Jefferson City.The same investigation also found that the call center鈥檚 hold queue, which exceeded six minutes since the month of February, was in violation of the four-year contract it signed with the state, which took effect in January 2012. That average hit 13.5 minutes in July.A month after the Post-Dispatch [url=http://www.alportico.net/prodotti/christianlouboutin-sale.jkmsw.php]Christian Louboutin Heels[/url] began its inquiry into the call center, the Department of Social Services to YoungWilliams, dated Aug. 28, that gave company president Robert Wells five business days to file a corrective action plan to address 鈥渟ignificant concerns鈥?that the department had with the call center, or risk losing 10 percent of its next monthly payment.In its response, dated Sept. 5, YoungWilliams, based in Jackson, Miss., proposed multiple remedies.In the letter, Wells said call volumes increased substantially between March and July, coinciding with longer call times, which led to the increased hold queue time.Wells blamed the longer call times on the state, which brought three additional computer systems online in March that call 锘縞enter staffers now have to update and check when addressing callers. The part of the contract that outlines the functions for the call center was originally two pages when it was signed, according to the letter. Now that same section of the contract has expanded to more than 350 pages, according to the letter.YoungWilliams promises to increase the number of call center staffers dealing with income maintenance calls; however, it does not say how many it plans to add. YoungWilliams previously told the Post-Dispatch that it planned to add 17 [url=http://www.alportico.net/prodotti/christianlouboutin-sale.jkmsw.php]Christian Louboutin Heels[/url] staffers.The company will also be rolling out a call-back system, in which callers can leave their phone numbers and stay in 鈥渓ine鈥?without having to stay on the phone and save 鈥渧aluable鈥?cellphone minutes, according to the letter. Once the caller鈥檚 phone number reaches the front of the line, he or she will receive a call back.The contractor will also amend its policy for talking with a supervisor. Typically, a call center staffer stays on the line when a caller talks to a supervisor.This will end with the creation of a supervisor queue (or hold line) so staffers can move on to serve the next caller.The call center will also add options to better sort callers. For example, there will now be two additional options callers can select if they are non-English speakers and if they have yet to receive a response from a previous request, according to the letter.To address absenteeism and turnover rates at the Jefferson City call center, YoungWilliams will provide a bonus plan for staffers, in addition to reviewing call center scripts to make sure they are 鈥渋n line鈥?with the [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/michaelkorssonline.php] michael kors handbags[/url] contract. If approved by the department, YoungWilliams expects to have the hold queue back under six minutes within eight weeks.As for the busy signals, YoungWilliams plans to add 20 phones, bringing the total to 434.鈥淥ur relationship with the Department is of the utmost importance. We will take every action to ensure that these setbacks are resolved to the Department鈥檚 satisfaction,鈥?Wells wrote in the letter.According to the letter, the state must approve the corrective action plan and can propose changes.The Department of Social Services is currently reviewing the plan, said spokeswoman Rebecca Woelfel.

MILWAUKEE (WITI) A respiratory virus has sent hundreds of children to hospitals, and it s causing alarm across the Midwest and beyond. Ten states have contacted the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for help investigating clusters of the virus that鈥檚 being blamed for the illness.
Health officials say they鈥檙e still working to figure out what鈥檚 going on.
The bug that appears to be causing most of the concern has a typically arcane name 鈥?Enterovirus EV-D68 鈥?but many of its symptoms are very common.
Enteroviruses, which bring on symptoms like a very intense cold, aren鈥檛 unusual. They鈥檙e actually very common.
When you have a bad summer cold, often what you have is an enterovirus, said Mark Pallansch, a virologist and director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention鈥檚 Division of Viral Diseases.
There are more than 100 types of enteroviruses causing about 10 to 15 million infections in the United States each year, according to the CDC. They are carried in the intestinal tract and often spread to other parts of the body.
The season often hits its peak in September, as summer ends and fall begins.
So why all the concern now?聽What鈥檚 unusual at the moment is the high number of hospitalizations.
There aren t any cases in Wisconsin currently, [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Outlet-Online-Kids-Sneakers-Womens-Watch-For-Infants.html]Womens Gucci Watch[/url] but there s concern we could see cases here in the near future.
In Colorado, nearly 900 children were treated for the illness, but the good news is that it s not typically deadly.
It can be severe in the asthmatic and the allergy kids population, Dr. Angela Tonozzi, the Director of Infection Prevention at Aurora Healthcare said.
Dr. Tonozzi says while there are no cases in Wisconsin currently, doctors here are prepared.
This is viral respiratory season, so we prepare for Enterovirus as we do every late summer/early fall, Dr. Tonozzi said.
An [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Belts-Sale-Leather-Jackets-Laptop-Sleeve-Men-Boots.html]Gucci Leather Jackets[/url] analysis by the CDC showed at least 30 Kansas City children tested positive for EV-D68, Missouri health officials said.
It鈥檚 a type of enterovirus that鈥檚 uncommon, but not new.
It was first identified in the 1960s and there have been fewer than 100 reported cases since that time. But it鈥檚 possible that the relatively low number of reports might be because EV-D68 is hard to identify.
EV-D68 was seen last year in the United States and this year in various parts of the world. Over the years, clusters have been reported in Georgia, Pennsylvania, Arizona and various countries including the Philippines, Japan and the Netherlands.
The virus can start as just a cold. Signs include coughing, difficulty breathing and in some cases a rash. Sometimes they can be accompanied by fever or wheezing.
Respiratory problems appear to the hallmark of EV-D68, according to the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services.
鈥淢ost enteroviruses cause either a little bit of a cold or a diarrheal illness 鈥?a few cause meningitis,鈥?said William Schaffner, head of the Department of Preventive Medicine at Vanderbilt University. 鈥淭his one is the, if you will, odd cousin. It causes prominent respiratory symptoms. Why it does that, we鈥檙e really not sure.鈥?
Pay attention to the symptoms that your child is having. If they`re having wheezing for the first time that`s a definite symptom you need to go and seek care for or if they`re having wheezing that just won`t go away. If you re having difficulty breathing, you might need some oxygen. You might need some fluids if you get dehydrated and just specialized care and monitoring, Dr. Tonozzi said.
Like other enteroviruses, the respiratory illness appears to spread through close contact with infected people. That makes children more susceptible.
There鈥檚 not a [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Outlet-Mens-Men-Boots-Men-Sunglasses.html]Men Gucci Boots[/url] great deal you can do, health officials say, beyond taking commonsense steps to reduce the risk.
Wash your hands with soap and water for 20 seconds 鈥?particularly after going to the bathroom and changing diapers.
Clean and disinfect surfaces that are regularly touched by different people, such as toys and doorknobs.
Avoid shaking hands, kissing, hugging and sharing cups or eating utensils with people who are sick. And stay home if you feel unwell.
There鈥檚 no vaccine for EV-D68.

鈥淪ince narcissists believe their status increases when they are associated with other special or high-status people, posting pictures of desirable friends may give narcissists a means of bolstering their egos,鈥?psychologist Shawn Bergman and collaborators wrote in a 2010 paper on the subject.
The Ice Bucket Challenge is a narcissist鈥檚 bonanza. You get to show yourself doing something marginally daring. Everybody will see how fit, handsome or witty you are 鈥?and how altruistic! Though the original deal was to donate to the ALS Association or pour a bucket of ice water over one鈥檚 head, people have [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Belts-Online-Wholesale-Clothing-For-Less-Aviator-Sunglasses.html]Gucci For Less[/url] typically done both and made no secret of it. What鈥檚 more, you get to associate yourself with all the famous people who are doing the same thing. There鈥檚 Bill Gates, who probably didn鈥檛 need the extra publicity or attention to his charity work but still built an elaborate contraption to douse himself, probably figuring he could up the ante in the ALS collection drive. There鈥檚 also Justin Bieber, who showed off his body and nominated all his fans and President Obama to upend those buckets.
There鈥檚 safety in crowds. If you鈥檙e bragging about doing something lots of others 鈥?and all those important people 鈥?are doing, you鈥檙e not really boasting. You鈥檙e showing that you fit in with the right bunch of people.
Don鈥檛 your motives still look shallow or self-serving, though?
鈥淚t is surprising to see so many people advertise their good deeds in that there exists a strong norm to be modest about prosocial behavior,鈥?London Business School professor Jonathan Berman and a group of researchers wrote in a 2014 article. After running various experiments, some of which involved posting [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Outlet-Horsebit-Speedy-Mens-Boots.html]Cheap Gucci Outlet[/url] reports of one鈥檚 good deeds on social networks, the group concluded that 鈥渂ragging about prosocial behavior is special because it directly undermines the information that an individual is trying to convey.鈥?If you boast about your altruism, you are seen as less altruistic. To avoid this unwelcome effect, 鈥減eople may create an appropriate context to discuss good deeds by steering a conversation in a direction that makes it appropriate to discuss prosocial behavior.鈥?
Trademarking?
The Ice Bucket Challenge provides the perfect context: You don鈥檛 talk about giving money to fight Lou Gehrig鈥檚 disease. You discuss the feel of that icy water on your pate, or Bieber鈥檚 narcissism, or Gates鈥檚 geekiness. It solves the 鈥渂raggart鈥檚 dilemma鈥?鈥?whether to tell others about your altruism 鈥?by removing the suspicion that your motives are selfish.
It鈥檚 such a perfect bit [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Belts-Online-Shoes-Handbag-Sale-Women-Watches.html]Gucci Belts Online[/url] of social engineering that the ALS Association鈥檚 effort to trademark it is perfectly understandable. Who cares about niceties, or Matthew 6:3, when something works to raise lots of money for a good cause? This is a case where the end may well justify the means 鈥?as long as no one gets killed.
Have I taken the Ice Bucket Challenge? No. Have I donated to the ALS Association? None of your business.

Comparable sales represent sales at all restaurants, whether operated by the Company or by franchisees, in operation at least thirteen months including those temporarily closed. Some of the reasons restaurants may be temporarily closed include reimaging or remodeling, rebuilding, road construction and natural disasters. Comparable sales exclude the impact of currency translation. Comparable sales are driven by changes in guest counts and average check, which is affected by changes in pricing and product mix. Typically, pricing has a greater impact on average check than [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Belts-Online-Real-Men-Sunglasses-Ties.html]Real Gucci[/url] product mix. Management reviews the increase or decrease in comparable sales compared with the same period in the prior year to assess business trends.
The number of weekdays and weekend days can impact our reported comparable sales. In August 2014, this calendar shift/trading day adjustment consisted of one less Thursday and one more Sunday compared with August 2013. The resulting adjustment varied by area of the world, ranging from approximately -0.3% to 0.7%. In addition, the timing of holidays can impact comparable sales.
Information in constant currency is calculated by translating current year results at prior year average exchange rates. Management reviews and analyzes business results excluding the effect of foreign currency translation and bases incentive compensation plans on these results because they believe this better represents the Company’s underlying business trends.
Systemwide sales include sales at all restaurants, whether operated by the Company or by franchisees. While franchised sales are not recorded as revenues by the [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Outlet-Online-High-Tops-Digital-Watch-Glasses-Men.html]Gucci Glasses Men[/url] Company, management believes the information is important in understanding the Company’s financial performance because these sales are the basis on which the Company calculates and records franchised revenues and are indicative of the financial health of the franchisee base.

FOX8 talked with a criminal defense attorney and law professor not associated with this case, who said charges against those responsible for this incident could range from misdemeanor assault to disorderly conduct.
The criminal defense attorney says it s not likely this case will qualify as a hate crime, since Ohio law includes hate crimes based on race, religion, or national origin, not disability.

To be fair, the current operation of Riverview Psychiatric Center can only be characterized as troubling, Wathen said in the report made public Monday.
The 92-bed forensic hospital lost its certification by the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services a year ago and was most recently denied recertification as a 72-bed hospital in late June. The loss of certification will cost the state an estimated $20 million annually, although the state has appealed the withdrawal of certification.
Wathen said his visit will be a formal one, and he has requested material in advance.
It should be a fairly thorough evaluation of the state of the hospital at that time, Wathen said. The goal is to see if there s recommendations that can be made that will assist the (Maine Department of Health and Human Services) with coming into compliance. It s not an adversarial type of thing. It s designed to be helpful to the reorganization process and not antagonistic.
Wathen said he intends to look at the hospital s management changes, such as with the superintendent since the March ouster of Mary Louise McEwen, who was replaced by patient advocate Jay Harper. He also wants to examine the response to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services concerns over treatment plans and the effort to restore forensic patients to two units rather than three. Forensic patients are individuals with crime-related charges.
The hospital in Augusta also has seen attacks by patients on staff members. Among the most recent was one on Aug. 16, in which patient Frank Stewart is accused [url=http://www.alportico.net/gosoc.php]true religion jeans[/url] of aggravated assault for allegedly smacking a nurse in the face with a chair, leaving her with serious facial injuries.
Another patient, Charles D. Miles, is accused of destroying property and threatening to kill specific hospital workers and patients in an incident on Aug. 31.
The progress report by Wathen apparently includes the attacks since it covers a period from Feb. 16 to Aug. 31.
Although there have been signs of improvement in recent months and plans of correction are in place, the hospital has continued to experience critical incidents involving client and staff safety and from time to time has generated concerns about proper treatment, Wathen said.
He also said that the hospital is operating at 85 [url=http://www.alportico.net/prodotti/christianlouboutin-sale.jkmsw.php]Christian Louboutin Online[/url] percent capacity but has a waiting list for admission.
It continues to house forensic clients in three of its four units, presumably because of concern about behavior control, even though the two forensic units are not filled to capacity.
Occasionally one patient is the only occupant of a four-bed unit on the forensic side of the hospital if that patient has proved to be particularly aggressive.
Riverview Psychiatric Center is divided into two forensic and two civil units. However, some forensic patients are being housed in one of the civil units. The forensic side of the hospital is where most of the trouble has been reported.
Wathen also noted that the hospital has had more staff turnover than usual in certain elements of the workforce since May.
Wathen said the hospital is in a critical time of reorganization. He said he s planning the site visit next month because the plans of correction and the management changes should have advanced sufficiently to allow a meaningful review of current operations, to check on progress and to make any recommendation that may be necessary for compliance with the Consent Decree and Consent Decree Plan.
The consent decree, reached in 1990, covers all persons who on or after January 1, 1988, were patients at the Augusta Mental Health Institute and all persons who will be admitted to the Augusta Mental Health Institute in the future. Riverview, which opened in 2004, replaced the Augusta Mental Health Institute.
Helen Bailey, an attorney with the Disability Rights Center of Maine, which represented the patients in the original lawsuit against the state, said she believes the state s proposed plan of correction addresses her organization s concerns as well.
I do believe that the conditions that gave rise to what was our most serious concern with regard to the abuse and the problem with having correctional officers right on the unit has been dealt with, Bailey said Monday.
Corrections officers armed with stun guns were brought into the hospital after a particularly vicious attack on March 30, 2013, when a patient bludgeoned a mental health worker and stabbed her repeatedly with a pen.
The reaction caught the attention of federal regulators, which eventually led to the certification withdrawal. Now, the hospital has hired acuity specialists to assist with behavioral and safety concerns.
Bailey said one unresolved issue is making provisions for patients who have had head injuries and who are not benefiting from treatment at Riverview.
A federal report filed June 27 faulted the hospital for a slew of missteps, such as unreported medication errors and record-keeping failures, including failures to document assessments, undocumented treatments, too few pharmacy workers, and no time allotted for mental health workers to work one on one with patients.
In response to that report, Harper said previously that the top problem was the hospital s failure to document when a patient is receiving the treatment called for under an [url=http://www.alportico.net/prodotti/christianlouboutin-sale.jkmsw.php]Christian Louboutin Sale[/url] individual patient plan. He said that was being addressed immediately.
A spokeswoman for the department said late Monday that a response to the progress report likely would not be available until Tuesday.

Nick Punto (hamstring) came off the DL today, but he鈥檚 not really 100 percent, according to manager Bob Melvin. Melvin was out of infielders in extra innings last night, rosters have expanded 鈥?so why not activate Punto? He鈥檚 probably not going to do any pinch running with a hamstring that isn鈥檛 totally healed, but he could play in the field if needed.
Here鈥檚 another reason he isn鈥檛 in the lineup [url=http://www.museosangennaro.com/Public/wdluk.php]Cheap Christian Louboutin[/url] tonight: Punto is 4 for 26 against White Sox starter John Danks, while Alberto Callaspo is 5 for 9 with a walk against Danks.
Now, when you put Callaspo at second, you鈥檙e sacrificing some defense. One scout who hadn鈥檛 seen Callaspo for a while was at a recent Oakland series and he was shocked by Callaspo鈥檚 lack of range.
I asked Melvin about balancing the potential for offense, with Callaspo (though he is 3 for his past 34 overall), vs. a dropoff in defense, and Melvin said.
鈥淎 lot of times there is a balance to it, depending on how certain guys are playing,鈥?Melvin said. 鈥?Callaspo) does have some numbers and with the lefty (Jon Lester) on the mound, there鈥檚 not as much going on at second base. And here鈥檚 a guy who鈥檚 been playing third base for quite a while and now he鈥檚 playing [url=http://www.museosangennaro.com/Public/wdluk.php]Louboutin Shoes UK[/url] second so we don鈥檛 expect him to have the best range in the world. But he catches the balls that are hit to him and he鈥檚 done a nice job acclimating to that position for the first time in a while. But a lot of times with him it鈥檚 about the offense as much as anything else.鈥?
And maybe seeing a starter he鈥檚 comfortable hitting against could get Callaspo鈥檚 bat going. Melvin noted that Callaspo is 鈥渘ot the lone ranger as far as struggling some offensively. We have several guys going through that right now, too.鈥?
Sean Doolittle will throw to hitters tomorrow, in the batting cage if expected rain drives the teams indoors. He could come off the DL on Thursday or Friday.
Here鈥檚 the lineup vs. Danks, a lefty: Crisp DH, Gentry CF, Donaldson 3B, Gomes LF, Norris C, Lowrie SS, Freiman 1B, Callaspo 2B, Fuld RF.
Some broadcast notes: ESPN dumped plans to air the [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/michaelkorssonline.php]Michael Kors uk[/url] Sept. 17 game vs. Texas (they鈥檒l show the Angels vs. the Mariners instead, ouch), so CSN California has picked it up.

When Kashkari boasted that TARP brought Democrats and Republicans together, Brown sneered. 鈥淲hen you鈥檙e handing out money, you can get everybody to get along.鈥?
Kashkari hit back by reminding voters that unlike Brown, he didn鈥檛 grow up in a rich family . 鈥淢y dad wasn鈥檛 governor.I grew up mowing lawns bagging groceries.鈥?
Kashkari also was able to hit Brown for not delivering on CEQA reform and other measures that might keep employers in California. And he needled Brown for supporting measures likely to raise working families鈥?energy taxes for high-speed rail, aka Brown鈥檚 鈥渧anity鈥?project.
If Kashkari [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/gucciusaonlineoutlet.php]gucci outlet[/url] didn鈥檛 deliver a slam dunk, he held his own. And that鈥檚 no small feat. He did what he had to do.
There [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Michael-Kors-Wallets]Michael Kors Wallets[/url] was only one logical solution to this problem. As soon as the half ended, I went upstairs and changed, switching to a modern Brian Dawkins jersey and a pair of thrift-shop red shorts that my wife had just purchased. I actually had been dubious about ever wearing these things, but clearly, strong measures were needed. This new ensemble changed the Eagles’ fortunes immediately. They erased the Jags’ lead, then went ahead on a long [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Michael-Kors-Camo-Purse]Michael Kors Camo Purse[/url] bomb, at which point a chastened Doug left for the long drive home. As a result, he missed the Eagles’ insult-to-injury fumble return for a touchdown by Fletcher [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Christian-Louboutin-Blog]Christian Louboutin Blog[/url] Cox, which made the final score a resounding 34-17. The Eagles had scored 34 unanswered points. The only logical conclusion is that my clothing change made the difference. Needless to say, when the Eagles take the field next Monday night in Indianapolis, I’ll be dressed in red and green. We can’t lose. Copyright 2014,

WASHINGTON聽鈥?The good news is that Americans are saving more than ever for college. The bad news is that the average amount wouldn’t come close to getting a person a degree.In a report released Tuesday, the College Savings Plans Network found that the average college savings or prepaid tuition account known as a “529″ plan is now worth about $20,671 鈥?almost double what these accounts were worth during the dog-days of the recession.Called a 529 after a section in the [url=http://www.alportico.net/prodotti/christianlouboutin-sale.jkmsw.php]Christian Louboutin Pumps[/url] federal tax code, these investment accounts aren’t the only way to save for college. But they are a popular option because the money grows tax-free and withdrawals aren’t taxed so long as the money is used for college expenses.The group, which tracks the state-sponsored savings plans, attributes the increase to several factors including a healthier stock market and improved economy, as well as greater consumer awareness of 529 plans and a growing concern among parents of the cost of higher education. According to the report, contributions to 529 plans jumped from $16.5 billion in 2009 to $22.5 billion.At the same time, the $20,671 figure would only cover the first year at a public college or university. The average cost for a four-year public school, including room and board, is about $18,391 a year for in-state students but rises sharply 鈥?$31,701 鈥?[url=http://www.museosangennaro.com/Public/anel.php] Christian Louboutin Shoes UK[/url] for those from out of state. Private schools typically cost even more with $40,917 for a single year of tuition, fees, room and board, according to recent estimates by the College Board.Betty Lochner, chair of the College Savings Plans Network, said the latest finding is still good news because any amount saved is money that won’t need to be repaid with interest.”The steady increase of total assets, account size and contributions in 529 plans, are positive signs that Americans recognize saving for college as a long-term commitment and investment,” Lochner said in a statement accompanying the group’s report.Overall, the group found that college savings and prepaid tuition plans have climbed steadily since 2008, when the country fell into a recession following the crash of the housing market. That year, the average [url=http://www.alportico.net/prodotti/christianlouboutin-sale.jkmsw.php]Christian Louboutin Outlet[/url] college savings account dropped to $10,690. The nation had $104.9 billion in assets managed under the savings plans at the time.As of June this year, the average savings account almost doubled to $20,671 with total assets topping $244 billion. The group noted a particularly sharp increase in the first half of this year: Between January and June, total assets in 529 plans grew by about $17 billion.

Given the complaining about President Obama鈥檚 dilemma in the Middle East 鈥?not exactly aided by his earlier admission that his administration lacked a 鈥渟trategy鈥?for dealing with the Islamic militants who during the summer took over something like a third of Iraq 鈥?you might expect Congress to come forward with some specific ideas on what [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Sale-Online-America-Bamboo-Sunglasses-Men-Sneakers.html]Gucci America[/url] the United States ought to do. Don鈥檛 expect much.
If some lawmakers do suggest further intervention by the United States beyond airstrikes, they better have a good idea of how they鈥檙e going to pay for it and who will fight it. We don鈥檛 need to be cutting taxes and putting our military in harm鈥檚 way while the rest of us remain at home waving flags and proclaiming our support for the troops while resisting any of the sacrifices that might be required of the American homefront.
By now, Congress sure ought to be able to come up with a package to deal with the border crisis, including the care and possible returning of more than 60,000 youths who practically strolled into the United States from violence-ridden countries in Central America.
Many House Republicans have pretty much warned the president not to do anything on immigration 鈥?particularly allowing millions of undocumented workers to stay in the country 鈥?but then they better huddle with Senate Democrats to come up with at least some alternative. And if [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Belts-Online-Wholesale-Clothing-For-Less-Aviator-Sunglasses.html]Gucci Belts Online[/url] the two sides can鈥檛 agree after years of research and debate on this issue 鈥?since at least 2007 鈥?then it will be hard to blame this president for taking action on his own. (Obama now says he鈥檒l wait till after elections.)
Unfortunately, pressing issues such as the conquest of northern Iraq by the Islamic State and immigration along our nation鈥檚 southern border will probably get no more than lip service. Democrats eyeing their prospects of losing the Senate reportedly will push such middle-class issues as student loans and the minimum wage. Republicans will seek to condemn the president for his handling of the Bowe Bergdahl-Taliban prisoner swap, even as the Middle East burns with beheadings, crucifixions and beatings.
Hopefully, Congress will pass a short-term continuing resolution to keep the government operating beyond Sept. 30 鈥?even Republicans pushing last year鈥檚 government shutdown will think twice of such dramatic and costly gestures before elections. And Congress reportedly will extend the Export-Import Bank鈥檚 authorization, at least on a short-term basis. The issue is one that has divided Republicans, so in essence they鈥檒l put off the matter till, [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Sale-Online-Watch-Strap-New-Shoes-Sweatpants.html]Gucci Sale Online[/url] yes, the elections are over.
Which gets to the real problem in Washington. Politicians anymore are in a perpetual state of campaigning 鈥?and too many Americans haven鈥檛 grasped this failure.

WASHINGTON Tests of pilots killed in plane crashes over more than two decades show an increasing use of both legal and illegal drugs, including some that could impair flying, according to a study released Tuesday by the National Transportation Safety Board.The study examined toxicology reports for almost 6,700 pilots killed in crashes from 1990 to 2012. Not only did the share of pilots testing positive for a drug increase over that period, but the share of pilots who tested positive for multiple drugs increased as well. Pilots testing [url=http://www.radiorcs.com/page.php?sale=Jimmy-Choo-Sunglasses-2010]Jimmy Choo Sunglasses 2010[/url] positive for at least one drug increased from 9.6 percent to 39 percent, while positive tests for two drugs rose from 2 percent to 20 percent and three drugs from zero to 8.3 percent.Over the same period, new drugs were coming into use and the U.S. population was aging, creating greater demand for drugs. The toxicology tests “reflect tends in the general population and likely indicate a significant increase in drug use” by pilots as well, the study said.However, the share of accidents the board has investigated in which impairment from a drug was found to be a factor hasn’t increased appreciably, the report said. Since 1990, the NTSB has cited pilot impairment due to drugs as a cause or a contributing factor in about 3 percent of fatal civil aviation accidents.Acting NTSB Chairman Chris Hart said the board “is concerned about possible safety implications of increased drug use in all modes of transportation.” He called the report “an important first step toward understanding those implications.”Dr. Mary Pat McKay, the board’s chief medical officer, said the study was limited to aviation because similarly comprehensive drug test data doesn’t exist for fatal highway, rail and maritime accidents. But it’s likely there are similar trends in those modes as well, she said.The board also voted to issue a safety alert to pilots, warning of the risk of impairment from many over-the-counter drugs. The board issued several recommendations to the Federal Aviation [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Michael-Kors-Zip-Around-Wallet]Michael Kors Zip Around Wallet[/url] Administration and state governments aimed at better communication of drug risks to pilots and operators in all transportation modes.More than 9 out of 10 of the pilots tested were private rather than commercial pilots, and 98 percent were male. The average age of pilots killed also increased markedly, from 46 years old in 1990 to 57 in 2012. The average age of pilots killed was 5 to 15 years older than the general population of active pilots.The tests also revealed increased pilot use of all kinds of drugs, including drugs that could impair a pilot’s functioning as well as drugs used to treat potentially impairing conditions such as seizure disorders and psychiatric illness.The most common drug found in the tests was an antihistamine that causes drowsiness and is a key ingredient in many over-the-counter medications for [url=http://www.radiorcs.com/page.php?sale=Jimmy-Choo-Bags-Sale]Jimmy Choo Shoes Sale[/url] allergies, colds and sleep. Sedating antihistamines in general were found in 9.9 percent of pilots tested during the last five years studied, up from 2.1 percent of the cases during the early years examined.The share of pilots testing positive for illegal drugs was small, but increased from 2.3 percent to 3.8 percent. The study attributed the increase mostly to greater marijuana use in the last 10 years.A statement by the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association, which represents private pilots, called the NTSB study incomplete and said its results “should be regarded with caution.”"There are just far too many gaps and unknowns in the study for us to be able to draw any meaningful conclusions about aviation safety,” said Mark Baker, the association’s president.

Thankfully, the NFL鈥檚 annual preseason charade is nearly over. One more exhibition, this upcoming Thursday in Houston. Then reality stands poised to commence.
What will that reality hold? Hard to say. The Niners bring back an All-Star roster that populated the top ranks of the league for the past three seasons. That same roster looked putrid during its first three preseason starts, going 1-2 while getting outscored 64-24.
That could be due to Jim Harbaugh鈥檚 obfuscating ways. Or it could mean the 49ers have grown long of tooth, yet short of bite.
One thing we [url=http://www.alportico.net/gosoc.php] true religion uk[/url] know: The preseason is a horrible waste of time. It provides nothing for fans, while exposing players to unnecessary risk. Look what happened to Rams鈥?聽quarterback Sam Bradford on Sunday. He鈥檚 out for the year with a torn ACL, suffered in a meaningless exhibition. The 49ers鈥?franchise, Colin Kaepernick, could have suffered the same fate, taking no less than four major hits from the charging Chargers before Harbaugh took him out.
So, now that we鈥檝e dispensed with the obligatory griping about NFL greed driving a pointless preseason, let鈥檚 get down to the keys to the regular season, which begins Sept. 7 聽in Dallas.
1. Unleash Colin Kaepernick: The Niners鈥?fleet-footed QB was a revelation two years ago, and again in last year鈥檚 playoffs, using his superior athletic ability to confound opponents. The team held him [url=http://www.symbiose.ca/images/christianlouboutin.gwij.php]Christian Louboutin Sale[/url] back most of last season, while he played through a foot injury suffered in Week 2 against Seattle. Now he鈥檚 presumably healthy. If Harbaugh trusts his own system 鈥?and his chosen backup QB 鈥?then he should let Kaep be Kaep.
2. Find the right understudy: It appears that Jacksonville ex-pat Blaine Gabbert will assume backup QB duties. He finally looked competent during the Niners鈥?21-7 win against San Diego on Sunday. But he also looked terrible earlier in the preseason. Why not choose Josh Johnson, a QB quarterback who goes all the way back to the University of San Diego with Harbaugh and his system? Coach has always said Johnson was one of his favorite players ever. So why does he keep cutting they guy? Seems to me there would be less adjustment if Johnson came in to spell Kaepernick. And Gabbert was a total failure in Jacksonville. Am I missing something?
3. Sign Alex Boone: The first-team offensive line looked terrible against the Chargers on Sunday, especially on the weak side manned by Mike Iupati and Joe Staley. That鈥檚 surprising, and can鈥檛 be helped by the ongoing holdout of starting strong-side guard Alex Boone. Give the man his money and put the oO-line back together. The team is developing a reputation for signing injured players on the cheap, while withholding raises to deserving, healthy starters. That bodes poorly in the long run, while Boone鈥檚 absence will hurt short-term.
4. Fix the field: The patchwork turf troubles this week were inexcusable. Coupled with the tragic earthquake that struck the Bay Area early Sunday morning, all signs pointed to calling off this last preseason game. But they played. (Read: $$) And $1.3 billion Levi鈥檚 Stadium had some seriously shoddy sod. The team needs to get this right by the home opener, Sept. 14 against Chicago. And they will.
5. Give Hyde the ball: Rookie running back Carlos Hyde was the only bright spot of the preseason. He looked great. And the team should feed him early and often, saving Frank Gore鈥檚 legs for November and December. The rookie from OhioState could be a key factor to offensive success.
6. Win the Super Bowl: [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/guccioutlet.onlinesalecc.php]Gucci Outlet Store[/url] That鈥檚 what needs to happen to ensure the return of head coach Jim Harbaugh. Anything less could mean a major shakeup before next summer鈥檚 pointless preseason. Harbaugh wants Super Bowl coach money. He鈥檒l have to win one to get it.

Should Pierce squander that opportunity, as he did in Week 1, then his involvement in the running back rotation will be sharply on the decline. The Ravens struggled to run the ball last year, which contributed to the team’s 8-8 finish.
Though the [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/michaelkorssonline.php] michael kors sale[/url] offensive line was mostly to blame for that outcome, any problems running the ball this year could easily lead to the same outcome. Clearly the Ravens [url=http://www.museosangennaro.com/Public/anel.php]Cheap Christian Louboutin Shoes[/url] do not have patience for mistakes or slow starts based on the decisions they made in Week 1.
With Pierce benched after a mere six carries, Week 2 might be his final chance to prove he can reliably shoulder the run game’s load this year. Pierce’s leash is short [url=http://www.symbiose.ca/images/christianlouboutin.gwij.php]Christian Louboutin Outlet[/url] and Forsett and Taliaferro are breathing down his neck, waiting for the chance to be named the Ravens’ true starting running back.
One more mistake a fumble, a botched blitz pickup, a dropped pass could throw Pierce to No. 3 on the depth chart, forgotten while others carry the football and the trust of the coaches.
The optimism surrounding Rose has been sky high since the start of Team USA’s training camp, but that momentum came to a halt when the point guard sat out two consecutive practices to rest his knees. While Coach K said Monday聽 that the rest was planned, Chris Sheridan of SheridanHoops.com set off some alarm bells by reporting Rose聽.
Sheridan’s report was confirmed by both聽 and聽:
A source familiar with Rose’s condition told ESPNChicago.com’s Nick Friedell that Rose has been bothered by knee soreness since his return to the floor Saturday night in an exhibition victory over Brazil in Chicago and requested the extra time to recover. But Team USA officials, to this point, have downplayed concerns about Rose’s status.
Pessimists may want to push the panic button here, but there’s little reason to do such a thing. Throughout these last [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Christian-Louboutin-Stilettos]Christian Louboutin Stilettos[/url] few years, we’ve heard how knee soreness is simply a part of the recovery process after major knee surgery. When you’ve played such little basketball in a game setting at a high intensity level over a long period of time, it’s only natural to feel that soreness when you return.
Rose himself isn’t worried about it, and Tom Thibodeau said they anticipated soreness,聽:
“Saturday night was the first time for all the players to play again, so we were anticipating soreness the next day,” said Thibodeau, an assistant on USA Basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski’s staff. “For Derrick, he had not played since November. We knew there’d be more for him. We just gave him a day or two (off), let him get his legs under him and we’ll see where he is tomorrow.”
This is just a reminder [url=http://www.radiorcs.com/page.php?sale=Jimmy-Choo-Martha-Clutch]Jimmy Choo Martha Clutch[/url] that it’s going to be a process for Rose to return to playing at an elite level. It’s not something that’s going to happen overnight. It’s easy to get caught up in all of the hype when people are talking about how he has “no restrictions” and how he looks so great in practice, but Sheridan says some of the optimism [url=http://www.radiorcs.com/page.php?sale=Kate-Spade-Gold-Coast-Maryanne]Kate Spade Gold Coast Maryanne[/url] may have been overstated. Aggrey Sam even has a source saying there’s still a chance Rose ends up withdrawing from the FIBA Basketball World Cup because of the burden he may have to carry, which would certainly be a bummer, but not the absolute worst thing in the world.
Rose likely won’t start in Team USA’s exhibition against the Dominican Republic on Wednesday due to the team’s policy of having to practice the day before a game in order to start. However, he’s still expected to suit up and play, although perhaps he doesn’t see as much floor time as he did against Brazil.
For example, they could make a record of vital information on the baby’s prenatal condition, weight changes,
blood pressure reading, ovulation & menstrual cycle,

These are truly fantastic ideas in on the topic of blogging.

Themed 鈥淭he Real Story,鈥?the newest issue [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Sale-Wedding-Shoes-Mens-Sunglasses-Luggage-Sets.html]Gucci Wedding Shoes[/url] of 鈥淭he Baylor Line鈥?magazine retraces the group鈥檚 tumultuous relationship with Baylor, which culminated last year with a failed attempt to merge its operations with the university. The issue also reiterates BAA鈥檚 stance on the importance of maintaining an independent alumni association.
The magazine was emailed to members Wednesday, while print copies of the publication were mailed out beginning Thursday.
鈥淥ne of the most asked questions from our members was, 鈥楬ow did we get to where we are? What has happened in the past that has brought us to this place?鈥?鈥?BAA President George Cowden III said. 鈥淲e have an obligation with the members to be transparent with the decisions that we鈥檙e making and the reasons behind it, and we wanted to have members that are informed about the issues between the parties.鈥?
September 2013 vote
BAA last printed 鈥淭he Baylor Line鈥?in September 2013 ahead of a vote on a transition agreement that would have dissolved the organization and consolidated alumni outreach under Baylor. That agreement also would have created a nonvoting alumni position on Baylor鈥檚 Board of Regents and cleared the way for creation of a new nonprofit entity to continue publishing the alumni magazine.
While 55 percent of the 1,499 members who voted in-person at Waco Hall were in favor of the agreement, that did not meet the two-thirds majority required for the measure to pass in accordance with BAA鈥檚 bylaws.
Baylor then announced its intentions to sever licensing agreements that allowed BAA to function, and all but one of the alumni association鈥檚 staff members resigned, most of whom took positions at the university.
The cover story of the latest issue points to disagreements with former Baylor President Robert Sloan, who took issue with stories in 鈥淭he Line鈥?he believed were unnecessarily critical of his leadership, as the beginning of the contentious relationship.
It further charges that wealthy alumni who supported Sloan and have since served on Baylor鈥檚 Board of Regents orchestrated efforts to force the group to dissolve its charter.
The cover story does not have a byline.
Baylor Spokeswoman Lori Fogleman said the university would not comment on the magazine鈥檚 publication or content, but she said BAA has not informed the university of its future plans since the vote.
鈥淲e remain profoundly disappointed (that) the time frame now spans two years and the association apparently has not made any progress at all deciding how in the future they might be helpful to the university and our students,鈥?Fogleman said, referencing an initial period of negotiations between BAA leaders and members of the Board of Regents that lead to the proposal of the transition agreement.
鈥淲e鈥檙e in the midst of a period of historic success that鈥檚 being celebrated by Baylor Nation, and it affects every area of our university, so the inability and unwillingness of the association to fulfill its purpose to support Baylor University perplexes and saddens us.鈥?
Action timeline
The magazine also includes a timeline of actions taken by Baylor to diminish BAA鈥檚 effectiveness, including:
Sloan鈥檚 decision to revoke BAA鈥檚 funding in 2002 after the organization said it would not merge with Baylor or give up its name to be used by Baylor鈥檚 newly created Office of Alumni Services, now named Office of Constituent Engagement;
Blocking BAA from using an on-campus call center to solicit memberships and donations in 2009;
Banning BAA from addressing new graduates at commencement or having an alumni tent outside of the graduation exercises;
Barring the organization from receiving [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Sale-Purses-Sale-Sale-Handbags-Cheap-Clothing.html]Cheap Gucci Clothing[/url] graduates鈥?contact information;
Tearing down the Hughes-Dillard Alumni Center that served as BAA鈥檚 headquarters since 1978 last summer to create a grassy plaza for a pedestrian bridge across the Brazos River, connecting McLane Stadium to the main Baylor campus.
The university previously gave BAA until last December to cease using Baylor鈥檚 name and trademarks, including 鈥淭he Baylor Line鈥?title. Fogleman declined to say whether Baylor plans to take any action against BAA for continuing to use the trademarks, but added that the university is concerned about protecting the proper authorized use of its name.
Office space
The university in December locked the remaining BAA staff members out of offices the organization had been using in Baylor鈥檚 Clifton Robinson administrative tower, which forced the alumni group to rent office space off campus for the first time in its history.
Cowden said BAA disagrees that Baylor has the authority to impose such an order, based on the organization鈥檚 interpretation of licensing agreements it signed with Baylor in 1993 and 1994, which were a point of contention among members during the vote on the transition agreement.
Those documents also are reprinted in the magazine.
The future of both the alumni association and the magazine remains undecided. BAA is holding a board of directors meeting and annual membership gathering May 31 at the Waco Hilton Hotel to elect new officers and discuss general business.
An agenda has not been set, but Cowden said he [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Handbags-Outlet-Vintage-Shopping-Bag-Optical.html]Vintage Gucci[/url] expects the group will decide whether to resume printing 鈥淭he Line鈥?on a quarterly basis as it had been published in the past as well as options for the association鈥檚 future direction.
The group is considering at least three options to continue operating, including:
Keeping the name 鈥淏aylor Alumni Association鈥?and picking up its traditional programming,

The rest of Rose’s game was simply meh, as he missed both three-pointers he took and again struggled to finish around the basket. He [url=http://www.alportico.net/page.php?sale=Gucci-Shirts]Gucci Discount[/url] started the second half in place of , but the results weren’t all that different.
On a more positive note, Rose did make a few nice defensive plays and continues to do a nice job harassing ballhandlers as they bring the ball up the floor. The guard also didn’t commit a single turnover in the game, and of course, he stayed healthy despite one spill that made me cringe.
It’ll be interesting to see how the Team USA coaching staff handles Rose against the Dominican Republic tomorrow. It’ll be the middle of a back-to-back-to-back set, and they might not want to overextend him.

The discovery in Long Branch, N.J. over the Labor Day weekend came weeks after a Virginia boy found a projectile point from the Paleoindian period in Beach Haven.
The girl said she was looking for shells when she found the dark-colored stone.
Greg Lattanzi with the New Jersey State Museum says he believes the girl’s object [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Belts-Sale-Baby-Men-Belts-Women-Sunglasses.html]Gucci Belts Sale[/url] was made in the Adena culture between 1,000 B.C. and 100 B.C.
[url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Sale-Flora-By-Mens-Eyeglasses-Hobo-Handbag.html]Flora By Gucci[/url] Complicating the identification process is the fact that the spear point appears to be unfinished.
The boy’s projectile point was from the early-to-mid-Paleoindian period, which dates as far back as 13,500 B.C.

Why do real estate appraisals continue to be one of the most controversial components of a residential transaction?
In fact, about one quarter of real estate transactions have had “some sort of problem with appraisals,” said Jed Smith, managing director of quantitative research at the National Association of Realtors.
“In a rising market, appraisals tend to lag behind the market because appraisals are looking backward and the market is looking forward,” Smith said.
Many appraisers and housing analysts believe problems arise from two areas-the definition of [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/guccioutlet.onlinesalecc.php]Gucci Outlet[/url] “market value” and out-of-area appraisers sent to evaluate properties outside of their areas of expertise.
Mercer Island’s Richard Hagar, a nationally recognized authority on real estate appraisals, said there is a difference between appraisers “market value” and the “market value” recognized by buyers and sellers.
“By law, appraisers must follow a federal definition of market value for lending appraisals,” Hagar said. “However, agents, buyers and sellers have a different opinion and that is what creates major conflicts. By design, the federal definition of market value is more conservative-the most probable price. While for agents, buyers and sellers it remains the highest likely price.”
Hagar’s point appears well taken. Jonathan Miller, another appraiser and national expert, said appraisers are facing an increasing number of accusations from buyers and brokers that valuations are coming in too low and under the agreed upon sales price in housing markets where prices have jumped rapidly in recent months.
Some neighborhoods have seen prices rise 25 percent in the past year. The appraisals, however, haven’t caught up to reflect the rise in prices, real estate salespersons contend. And, all expect highest likely price not highest probable price.
Miller says that most property valuations are valid, but a big contributor to the problem is due to markets that are moving too quickly and “inconsistently.” The markets that are seeing particularly scarce inventories and bidding wars may see valuations that can change “within a couple of weeks,” Miller said.
A low appraisal can prompt buyers to try to renegotiate a lower sales price or force a buyer who is trying to get financing to find a way to come up with more money in order to proceed with the sale.
Bank failures and fraud led to a move away from the “highest supportable” value. In 1989, that term was [url=http://www.symbiose.ca/images/christianlouboutin.gwij.php]Christian Louboutin Sale[/url] replaced with “most probable.” According to Hagar, this adjustment was forced on appraisers so that when values were skyrocketing upward, appraisals would likely come in under the top-end sales price.
While borrowers and real estate agents have the right to question an appraiser before allowing the appraiser access to the property, few borrowers elect to do so.
“The goal of the conversation should not be to influence the appraiser,” Hagar said, “but rather to ask the appraiser questions about their area knowledge and experience as a method of screening for competency. In our experience, appraisers traveling 150 miles from their office is an indicator that the appraiser is likely not geographically competent.”
From the homeowner’s perspective, the appraiser should be viewed as an extension of the lender. For many years, lenders had approved lists of competent, third-party providers who would provide the proper service for the amount charged. [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/guccioutlet.onlinesalecc.php]Gucci Outlet Store[/url] Some lenders truly cared about the reputations of third-party providers they choose to include under their umbrella. According to Hagar, that no longer is case because lenders are deluged by volume and have hired appraisal management companies (AMCs) to manage the load.
“From our point of view, the largest banks don’t appear to be hiring the best and brightest appraisers, they appear to be hiring based on fast and cheap,” Hagar said. The cheapest appraisers often do not have adequate knowledge or experience and, as a result, produce poor quality appraisals that harm everyone. They spend 15 minutes walking around before disappearing and their reports often kill the deal.”
If you are preparing to purchase or refinance a home, take the time to ask the appraiser a few questions about his or her background before they visit the property. Ask if they have appraised your type of property recently in your neighborhood. Inquire if the appraiser is a member of the multiple listing association and if the person has access to MLS property data. If you don’t like the answers given, contact your loan representative about hiring a different appraiser.

ALEXANDRIA, Va. 鈥?In some ways, Rebecca Wright doesn t understand all the fuss over her 96-year-old mother s recent marriage. After all, she says, Anybody who wants to get married must have a little dementia.
The courts, though, and some of Wright s other relatives aren t amused. And the future for newlyweds Edith Hill, 96, and Eddie Harrison, 95, is very much uncertain.
The two have been companions for more than a decade after a Hollywood-style meet-cute 鈥?they struck up a conversation while standing in line for lottery tickets, with one of the tickets turning into a $2,500 winner. They married earlier this year, with a 95-year-old church elder presiding over the ceremony, no less.
I guess I wanted company, Hill said in an interview, explaining why she married. I wanted somebody [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/clreplicashoes.php] Christian Louboutin Outlet Online[/url] I could help, and they could help me. We were both single. My husband was gone. His wife was gone. We became the best of friends.
Robin Wright, Hill s granddaughter, said the relationship is more romantic than Hill s explanation allows.
You catch them kissing all the time, she said. They re actually in love. Really in love. I know he s part of the reason she gets up every morning.
Legally, though, the wedding has been problematic. Hill has been declared legally incapacitated for several years. A judge said at a hearing earlier this month that he believes Wright 鈥?co-guardian over her mother along with a sister who opposed the marriage 鈥?acted improperly by taking her mother to get married without the court s permission.
Cary Cuccinelli, representing the sister who opposed the marriage, Patricia Barber, said at a hearing earlier this month that the wedding occurred without other family members knowledge, and that it complicated the matter [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/michaelkorssonline.php] michael kors sale[/url] of how to eventually distribute Hill s estate, which includes property on the edge of Old Town Alexandria, worth about $475,000, according to real estate assessments.
Legally, Mr. Harrison now has a right to a portion of Ms. Hill s estate, she told the judge, saying it also complicates decisions over who will care for Hill, and where she will live.
While the judge, James Clark, found the marriage to have been improper, he also worried that breaking up the couple could create a circumstance in Ms. Hill s life that she doesn t deserve.
Clark ended up removing Wright and Barber as Hill s guardians, and appointing a lawyer, Jessica Niesen, instead. The judge instructed Niesen to investigate the marriage and take all actions appropriate and reasonable to protect the best interests of Edith Hill.
Niesen, in a phone interview, said she is still gathering facts and has an upcoming appointment to meet Hill and Harrison. While there are numerous issues to be sorted out, including questions about inheritance and where the couple will live, she would just as soon let the marriage continue.
I see no reason to break this couple up, if there is no harm, she said. One solution might be a postnuptial agreement preventing Harrison from inheriting Hill s estate.
Niesen said that if she finds that the marriage is not in Hill s best interest, she has the authority to pursue a divorce or possibly an annulment on Hill s behalf.
Wright said she remained concerned authorities would try to break up the marriage. She also opposes a postnuptial agreement, saying the marriage should be respected just as any other.
The interracial aspect of their marriage is unique as well. She is black and he is white. In fact, the longtime Virginians would not have been allowed to marry if they had met in their 20s or 30s or 40s, given Virginia s law banning interracial marriages at the time.
Wright says she has concluded after doing some research through Guinness Book of World Records that the two are likely the nation s oldest interracial newlyweds.
Edith Hill, for her part, doesn t give the interracial aspect of her marriage too much thought, despite the fact that for half of her life it would have been illegal.
Asked about the old laws barring interracial marriage, she said, That s done away with, isn t it?
For now, the two live together in Annandale, with Rebecca and [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/michaelkorssonline.php]Michael Kors uk[/url] Robin Wright helping care for them. Rebecca Wright said the two do a good job taking care of each other 鈥?his hearing is not great, and her vision is not great. They dance, listen to music and take walks, which has improved their health.
And Rebecca Wright said the companionship two people of the same age provide each other can t be underestimated.
They can talk about things that nobody else knows about, she said.
Eddie Harrison said he and Hill never fight, and they both understood what getting married would mean.
The first time I married I didn t know what I was doing, he said. I was 18. She was 26. Two weeks later I wanted a divorce.

WASHINGTON (AP) 鈥?Tests of pilots killed in plane crashes over more than two decades show an increasing use of both legal and illegal drugs, including some that could impair flying, according to a study released Tuesday by the National Transportation Safety Board.The study examined toxicology reports for almost 6,700 pilots killed in [url=http://www.museosangennaro.com/Public/anel.php] Christian Louboutin Shoes UK[/url] crashes from 1990 to 2012. Not only did the share of pilots testing positive for a drug increase over that period, but the share of pilots who tested positive for multiple drugs increased as well. Pilots testing positive for at least one drug increased from 9.6 percent to 39 percent, while positive tests for two drugs rose from 2 percent to 20 percent and three drugs from zero to 8.3 percent.Over the same period, new drugs were coming into use and the U.S. population was aging, creating greater demand for drugs. The toxicology tests “reflect tends in the general population and likely indicate a significant increase in drug use” by pilots as well, the study said.However, the share of accidents the board has investigated in which impairment from a drug was found to be a factor hasn’t increased appreciably, the report said. Since 1990, the NTSB has cited pilot impairment due to drugs as a cause or a contributing factor in about 3 percent of fatal civil aviation accidents.Acting NTSB Chairman Chris Hart said the board “is concerned about possible safety implications of increased drug use in all modes of transportation.” He called the report “an important first step toward understanding those implications.”Dr. Mary Pat McKay, the board’s chief medical officer, said the study was limited to aviation because similarly comprehensive drug test data doesn’t exist for fatal highway, rail and maritime accidents. But it’s likely there [url=http://www.alportico.net/prodotti/christianlouboutin-sale.jkmsw.php]Christian Louboutin Sale[/url] are similar trends in those modes as well, she said.The board also voted to issue a safety alert to pilots, warning of the risk of impairment from many over-the-counter drugs. The board issued several recommendations to the Federal Aviation Administration and state governments aimed at better communication of drug risks to pilots and operators in all transportation modes.More than 9 out of 10 of the pilots tested were private rather than commercial pilots, and 98 percent were male. The average age of pilots killed also increased markedly, from 46 years old in 1990 to 57 in 2012. The average age of pilots killed was 5 to 15 years older than the general population of active pilots.The tests also revealed increased pilot use of all kinds of drugs, including drugs that could impair a pilot’s functioning as well as drugs used to treat potentially impairing conditions such as seizure disorders and psychiatric illness.The most [url=http://www.museosangennaro.com/Public/anel.php] Christian Louboutin Shoes Outlet[/url] common drug found in the tests was an antihistamine that causes drowsiness and is a key ingredient in many over-the-counter medications for allergies, colds and sleep. Sedating antihistamines in general were found in 9.9 percent of pilots tested during the last five years studied, up from 2.1 percent of the cases during the early years examined.The share of pilots testing positive for illegal drugs was small, but increased from 2.3 percent to 3.8 percent. The study attributed the increase mostly to greater marijuana use in the last 10 years.A statement by the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association, which represents private pilots, called the NTSB study incomplete and said its results “should be regarded with caution.”"There are just far too many gaps and unknowns in the study for us to be able to draw any meaningful conclusions about aviation safety,” said Mark Baker, the association’s president.___Follow Joan Lowy on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/AP_Joan_Lowy

The celebrated the grand opening this week of its newest facility 鈥?one more than 2,300 miles away from its Sausalito headquarters 鈥?in large part due to Bay Area funding. 聽The聽Hawaiian Monk Seal Hospital in Kailua-Kona, named Ke Kai Ola (鈥淭he Healing Sea鈥? in Hawaiian, is dedicated to the rescue and care of one of the Hawaiian Islands鈥?, estimated at fewer than 1,100 individuals.
Most Hawaiian monk seals live in the remote Northwestern Hawaiian Islands, part of the , although they are increasingly being spotted in the main Hawaiian Islands (see the photogallery above). Fewer than one in five pups in these undeveloped islands survive their first year, due to predation, entanglement in marine debris and plastic trash, and changes in the food chain, according to the Marine Mammal Center.
K奴lia is a female Hawaiian monk seal pup that was rescued at Pearl and Hermes Reef in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands, treated at the new Ke Kai Ola, and returned home.

That challenge wasn’t meant to preserve the ability of Verizon Pennsylvania, the Verizon brand that provides FiOS products and broadband and phone service to residential and small business customers, to charge a fee because it doesn’t charge them now and doesn’t intend to, Verizon spokesman Lee Gierczynski told me.Rather, he said, like [url=http://www.radiorcs.com/page.php?sale=Jimmy-Choo-Jeans]Jimmy Choo Jeans[/url] Cavalier, Verizon is standing up to an attempt by the PUC to overstep its authority to impose broad and unnecessary regulations. He said these arbitrary regulations would apply only to a small segment of communications companies that are subject to PUC regulations, while unregulated wireless, cable and Internet-based telephone providers are free to implement paper and paperless billing programs based on market demands.That gives those companies an unfair advantage, Gierczynski said.Cavalier and Verizon say state regulations don’t require a paper bill to be sent to customers, and say only that customers are entitled to a monthly bill without specifying how it’s delivered.The PUC believes the cost of paper bills should be part of normal service rates and not collected with a separate charge, spokeswoman Robin Tilley told me. We believe that utilities have the statutory obligation to provide a monthly bill that is an integral part of providing telecommunications services and is necessary for uninterrupted telecommunications services, the commission said in its July 24 order. The monthly bill provides the customer’s rates for corresponding services, and without a monthly bill the customer will not know what to pay. Moreover, the monthly bill is an important tool to prevent telecommunications fraud. Cavalier serves primarily businesses. It offers them free electronic copies of their bills but charges businesses a fee if they want a paper copy, Windstream spokesman Scott Morris said. Cavalier also has about 5,000 residential customers who receive free paper bills, and there are no plans to charge them for sending those bills, he said.In its failed to the PUC, Verizon had argued that paper telephone bills are increasingly becoming a relic of the [url=http://www.alportico.net/page.php?sale=Gucci-Sale-Handbags]Gucci Sale Online[/url] past, just like pay phones, white page phone books and rotary dial phones. Today’s environmentally savvy consumers expect a paperless billing choice, which is not surprising since eliminating archaic paper bills has enormous consumer and societal benefits, Verizon attorney Suzan Paiva wrote.The PUC doesn’t disagree. It says paperless or online billing is just fine, but must be offered on a voluntary basis and free of any condition, such as to avoid a charge. It says a fee to receive a paper bill would penalize customers who want paper bills or don’t have adequate Internet access to view an electronic version.According to PUC records, 24 of 134 phone companies that were surveyed in 2010 said they charged a paper billing fee to residential customers, business customers or both. The agency wasn’t able to provide me with a list of those companies.The fees at the time of the survey ranged from $1.95 to $3.89 a month for residential customers and $1.95 to $30 a month for business customers, depending on the number of pages in their bills, according to the PUC records.Tilley told me last month that the PUC’s independent Bureau of Investigation and Enforcement intended to investigate companies charging the fees, which could result in their being subject to fines or having to refund customers.That was before Cavalier’s appeal, though, and I doubt that would occur until the appeal is heard.The agency’s July order pertains [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Discount-Tory-Burch]Discount Tory Burch[/url] only to phone companies and not other industries that fall under the PUC’s jurisdiction, such as gas and electric utilities. The PUC isn’t aware of any electric or gas companies that charge a billing fee, Tilley said.The Watchdog is published Thursdays and Sundays. Contact me at , 610-841-2364 or The Morning Call, 101 N.

Janay Rice Ray Rice (Credit: TMZ)
(CNN) Janay Rice, wife of suspended NFL player Ray Rice, apparently posted a statement Tuesday on Instagram calling the situation a nightmare.
To take something away from the man I love that he has worked his ass off for all his life just to gain ratings is a horrific (sic), she wrote.
The Baltimore Ravens released Ray Rice on Monday after a video surfaced showing him knocking her out with a punch in February.
The Instagram post, reported by various media, appeared to be authentic.
Rice was originally suspended for two games, a punishment that many saw as [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Handbags-Authentic-Belts-Watch-Women-Sunglasses-Women.html]Gucci Watch Women[/url] too lenient.
Rice was just weeks away from returning to the gridiron when the new video surfaced and the Ravens and the NFL acted more severely.
Rice was released by the Ravens, and suspended indefinitely from football by the NFL.
The new video shows Rice punching Janay Rice, who [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Belts-Online-Man-Shoes-Sweater-Pelham-Bag.html]Gucci Belts Online[/url] was his fianc茅e at the time, inside an elevator at a hotel in Atlantic City, New Jersey, seven months ago.
TMZ Sports posted the video Monday showing Ray and Janay entering an elevator. Inside the elevator, Ray Rice punches his fianc茅e. She lunges after Rice, and then the football player hits her again and she falls to the floor.
No one knows the pain that the media unwanted options from the public has caused my family, Janay Rice wrote. To make us relive a moment in our lives that we regret every day is a horrible thing.
She added in the Instagram post: THIS IS OUR LIFE! What don t you all get.
At a press conference in July, Rice said his actions were inexcusable and that he and his wife were in counseling. The couple married March 28.
We re taking the necessary steps to [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Sale-Online-Authentic-Wallet-Group-Coupons.html]Gucci Coupons[/url] move forward, he said. My job is to lead my family. My job is to lead my wife. My job is to lead in whatever I do. And If I m not being the example, then my family crumbles.

鈥淪ince narcissists believe their status increases when they are associated with other special or high-status people, posting pictures of desirable friends may give narcissists a means of bolstering their egos,鈥?psychologist Shawn Bergman and collaborators wrote in a 2010 paper on the subject.
The Ice Bucket Challenge is a narcissist鈥檚 bonanza. You get to show yourself doing something marginally daring. Everybody will see how fit, handsome or witty you are 鈥?and how altruistic! Though the original deal was to donate to the ALS Association or pour a bucket of ice water over one鈥檚 head, people have [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Sale-Keychain-Money-Clips-Envy-Perfume.html]Cheap Gucci Sale[/url] typically done both and made no secret of it. What鈥檚 more, you get to associate yourself with all the famous people who are doing the same thing. There鈥檚 Bill Gates, who probably didn鈥檛 need the extra publicity or attention to his charity work but still built an elaborate contraption to douse himself, probably figuring he could up the ante in the ALS collection drive. There鈥檚 also Justin Bieber, who showed off his body and nominated all his fans and President Obama to upend those buckets.
There鈥檚 safety in crowds. If you鈥檙e bragging about doing something lots of others 鈥?and all those important people 鈥?are doing, you鈥檙e not really boasting. You鈥檙e showing that you fit in with the right bunch of people.
Don鈥檛 your motives still look shallow or self-serving, though?
鈥淚t is surprising to see so many people advertise their good deeds in that there exists a strong norm to be modest about prosocial behavior,鈥?London Business School professor Jonathan Berman and a group of researchers wrote in a 2014 article. After running various experiments, some of which involved posting [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Belts-Online-Discounted-Gift-Card-Credit-Card.html]Discounted Gucci[/url] reports of one鈥檚 good deeds on social networks, the group concluded that 鈥渂ragging about prosocial behavior is special because it directly undermines the information that an individual is trying to convey.鈥?If you boast about your altruism, you are seen as less altruistic. To avoid this unwelcome effect, 鈥減eople may create an appropriate context to discuss good deeds by steering a conversation in a direction that makes it appropriate to discuss prosocial behavior.鈥?
Trademarking?
The Ice Bucket Challenge provides the perfect context: You don鈥檛 talk about giving money to fight Lou Gehrig鈥檚 disease. You discuss the feel of that icy water on your pate, or Bieber鈥檚 narcissism, or Gates鈥檚 geekiness. It solves the 鈥渂raggart鈥檚 dilemma鈥?鈥?whether to tell others about your altruism 鈥?by removing the suspicion that your motives are selfish.
It鈥檚 such a perfect bit [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Handbags-Outlet-Beanie-Hat-Men-Bag-Black-Handbag.html]Gucci Handbags Outlet[/url] of social engineering that the ALS Association鈥檚 effort to trademark it is perfectly understandable. Who cares about niceties, or Matthew 6:3, when something works to raise lots of money for a good cause? This is a case where the end may well justify the means 鈥?as long as no one gets killed.
Have I taken the Ice Bucket Challenge? No. Have I donated to the ALS Association? None of your business.

Parts, but not all, of the commercial building have sprinklers.
There have been five different construction add-ons [url=http://www.alportico.net/gosoc.php] true religion uk[/url] for that building, Thomas said. The most recent add-ons would be under the most recent codes and have sprinklers. Sprinklers may not have been required when the older sections were built, he said.
There is a limit to what sprinklers can extinguish, Thomas said. They are designed to put out a fire as it gets started, with one to four sprinkler heads discharging. If the fire spreads and triggers additional sprinkler heads, they will have diminished flow of water because the system has a limited water flow. Also, if fire spreads to the space above the sprinklers, such as an attic crawl space, the fire can build and spread quickly without the sprinklers having any effect.
Investigators disclosed the cause of the fire at a news conference Tuesday afternoon at the site of the fire.
Tuesday monring, tenants gathered in front of the building and surveyed the damage from the massive fire that gutted much of the building.
Andy Tabor, owner of Focused on You, a digital imaging and computer repair service, said he was able to retrieve some of his customers equipment and data.
There is hundreds of thousands of dollars of equipment in there, said Tabor as he stared at the facade of his business. We haven t been able to see what s going on.
The fire department did a pretty good job containing it. I just don t know how much damage there is, Tabor said.
Karen Vincent, who works for Maine Society of CPAs, which was in a third-floor office visible through broken, blackened windows, described her emotional state as one of shock and disbelief.
It s surreal. I was just there yesterday, Vincent said.
Penny Kacere, who works at Scarborough Legal Center, showed up Tuesday [url=http://www.alportico.net/prodotti/christianlouboutin-sale.jkmsw.php]Christian Louboutin Sale[/url] with a pair of binoculars, trying to peer in through an open door to assess the damage to the office. Computer files are backed up on off-site servers but there are paper files, she said. The office has two large fireproof safes where it keeps wills and similar documents, she said.
It s just going to be sad if they end up tearing it down, said Kacere, who has worked in the complex since 1989.
Jim Hustus of Sullivan and Merritt Constructors leaned against the hood of his pickup and handled a succession of telephone calls as he tried to get his construction management business working again. The company has three other offices in the state so employees were relocating there and hoped to settle in by Wednesday.
However, he expects most of the company s office equipment was damaged and will need to be replaced. The office is insured, he said.
Computers, office supplies, all that stuff is gone, he said. We ve started looking for a new facility. We should be able to get on our feet again real quick, he said.
Scarborough Fire Chef Michael Thurlow said firefighters were called to the back of the building for a report of smoke and were quickly confronted with a fast-moving fire.
We had a fire that was rapidly building, he said. We pulled the crews out so nobody got hurt.
Firefighters took a defensive approach, Thurlow said, dousing the exterior with large amounts of water from multiple aerial ladders.
He said fighting the blaze was difficult in part because the building had been added onto many times creating different [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/gucciusaonlineoutlet.php] cheap gucci[/url] roof lines and voids between sections of the building that were difficult to access.
Twenty of the 24 units in the wood-frame building were rented, the chief said.
Thurlow said there are two crews of investigators working to determine the cause of the fire. One is interviewing tenants. The other is examining physical evidence. Scarborough investigators are working with the state Fire Marshal s Office and will probably be on the scene most of the day, Thurlow said.
Three firefighters who were treated for heat exhaustion have been released from the hospital and are doing fine, he said.

OLYMPIA Health officials hope National Suicide Prevention Week, running from Sept. 8-14, 聽can go a long way in stemming the slowly rising tide of suicide prevalence in Washington state.
According to the Washington State Department of Health, suicide rates increased slightly in Washington from 2006-2012.
The state ranks [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/guccioutlet.onlinesalecc.php]Gucci Outlet Store[/url] 21st nationally in suicides, and聽an average of three people take their own lives in Washington each day, the health department said.聽Suicide remains the eighth leading cause of death in the state, and is聽the second leading cause in the 15-24-year-old age [url=http://www.museosangennaro.com/Public/anel.php] Christian Louboutin Shoes UK[/url] group.

The Department of Health is can shed light and public awareness on a problem that is often overlooked. Suicide is聽preventable, the health department said, if friends and family know how to recognize the signs.
Most people considering suicide give warnings, the health department said. It鈥檚 important to pay attention when people talk about feeling trapped, or about being a burden to [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/gucciusaonlineoutlet.php] cheap gucci[/url] others.
Indicators someone is thinking about suicide are: Increasing alcohol or drug use, acting anxious or agitated, behaving recklessly, sleeping too little or too much, withdrawing or feeling isolated, showing rage or talking about seeking revenge, and displaying extreme mood swings.
The health department said if you notice someone talking about wanting to die, looking for a way to kill themselves, or having no reason to live, immediately call the National Suicide Prevention Hotline, 1-800-273-8255, or a mental health professional.

A Thurston County man was sentenced to six years and seven months in prison after pouring lighter fluid on his wife s legs and igniting it in 2011.Duane M. Rader was originally found guilty of first-degree arson, felony harassment, unlawful imprisonment and fourth-degree assault and sentenced to 10 years in prison in March of 2012, with the court acquitting him of first-degree attempted murder charges.The sentence was overturned by the Washington State Court of Appeals in January of this year because the court improperly calculated his offender score during the original trial.At a court appearance Tuesday, he pleaded guilty to the same charges first-degree arson, felony harassment, unlawful imprisonment and fourth-degree assault in addition to three charges of violating a no-contact order.The charges [url=http://www.radiorcs.com/page.php?sale=Kate-Spade-Make-Up-Bag]Kate Spade Coupon[/url] stem from a Feb. 13, 2011 assault that left Rader s wife with second-degree burns on her legs. She initially told Thurston County Sheriff s deputies that she was trying to refill her lighter and accidentally lit her legs on fire, according to charging documents. The deputies didn t arrest Rader at the time because they weren t sure what had happened.The woman repeated the story later that month.But on Aug. 2, 2011, the woman contacted deputies again and told them that she had separated from Rader and wanted to tell the truth about what happened in February, according to court papers. She told deputies that Rader had been drinking heavily and slammed her head on the kitchen counter, knocking her to the floor. He then poured lighter fluid on [url=http://www.alportico.net/page.php?sale=Gucci-Shoulder-Bags]Gucci Shoulder Bags[/url] her legs and tossed a match on them, according to court papers. The incident took place in front of her 11-year-old daughter. She said Rader told her not to tell deputies what had happened because he would go to jail and lose his army career.Rader was later arrested.At the Tuesday hearing, Thurston County Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Craig Juris told Judge Anne Hirsch that the victim didn t want to appear in court or be part of another trial. It is in her best interest and in her daughter s best interest that this not go to trial again, Juris said.Rader was later charged with three counts of violating a no-contact order after calling his wife from the Thurston County Jail three times before the trial.He has been at Airway Heights Corrections Center since the 2011 trial. His attorney, Patrick O Connor, said Rader has been working to earn a college degree and better himself. I think it shows some dedication on his side to make some changes so he doesn t find himself in this situation again, O Connor said.He explained that Rader served in the Army for 15 years and completed three overseas tours. The experience left him with post-traumatic stress disorder, and he self-medicated with alcohol, O Connor said.But Hirsch argued that post-traumatic stress disorder isn t an excuse for committing violent crimes. Although that was an awful experience for you, I don t believe that PTSD causes domestic violence, Hirsch said.Hirsch decided to accept the sentencing recommendation of 6 years, seven months in prison for the first-degree arson charge, which is outside of the standard sentencing range of five years, one month. She awarded the exceptional sentence because victim s child was present during the incident. I can see that what you did was terrifying and awful for your victim and the child that was present, Hirsch said.Rader was also sentenced to one year and nine months for felony harassment and [url=http://www.radiorcs.com/page.php?sale=Jimmy-Choo-Kitten-Heels]Jimmy Choo Discount[/url] unlawful imprisonment, and one year for fourth-degree assault and the three violating a no-contact order charges. He will serve the sentences concurrent with the first-degree arson sentence.

Construction is underway on South Puget Sound Community College s new Lacey campus, an $11 million project that Lacey officials expect to be a shot in the arm for the neighborhood and possibly fill long-vacant buildings.Work began last month and the project is expected to be finished in summer 2015, college spokeswoman Kellie Purce Braseth said.The college paid $4 million for the complex of five buildings on Sixth Avenue across from the Intercity Transit station, formerly known as Rowe Six.The plan is to transform the 50,000-square-foot [url=http://www.symbiose.ca/images/christianlouboutin.gwij.php]Christian Louboutin Outlet[/url] Building 1, which faces Sixth Avenue, into an entrepreneurial center. It will combine the college s Small Business Development Center and the Thurston County Economic Development Council in a single destination to support entrepreneurs and business start-ups.The EDC, its staff and services will move into the new building, EDC Executive Director Michael Cade said.The organization also plans to work with several community partners such as chambers of commerce, the city of Lacey, The Evergreen State College and Saint Martin s University, Joint Base Lewis-McChord and Enterprise for Equity.But Building 1 also will be home to corporate and continuing education staff and classes, as well as other classrooms, computer labs and student services, Purce Braseth said.The college also will occupy Buildings 2 and 3. Building No. 3 will be home to an advanced manufacturing program. Meanwhile, Buildings 4 and 5 likely will be demolished to make way for either parking or a new [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/michaelkorssonline.php]Michael Kors uk[/url] building, she said.In all, about 11,000 people will use the campus. The estimate combines students taking credit classes and others, such as state workers, participating in training.City officials hope that influx of people will inject some life into the Woodland District and specifically, Woodland Square Loop. Woodland Square Loop surrounds Huntamer Park, and many nearby office buildings have significant vacancies, the result of the recession and downsizing. Several of those buildings have a new owner: MJR Development of Kirkland.The city of Lacey also recently announced a plan to sublease from the college about 1,000 square feet in Building 2 to create a military service center.The city has a memorandum of understanding with veterans centers in Tacoma and Federal Way to provide services in Lacey, with an emphasis on behavioral health. The center is expected to open in October.Meanwhile, SPSCC [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/clreplicashoes.php]Christian Louboutin Outlet[/url] s existing Lacey campus is on Hawks Prairie between Marvin Road and Galaxy Drive. The college has leased the space since 1995, but in 2005 it purchased property off Marvin Road and set out to build a new campus. Since then, economic changes have taken the college in a new direction.The Marvin Road property, for which the college paid $6.2 million, is for sale, Purce Braseth said.

BAA President Keith Starr announced the news in written statement Wednesday. The lawsuit charges BAA is improperly using Baylor鈥檚 name and trademarks.
The lawsuit stems from long-standing tension between the two entities about BAA鈥檚 independent status.
A transition agreement crafted by Baylor regents and a [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Belts-Sale-Leather-Jackets-Laptop-Sleeve-Men-Boots.html]Gucci Leather Jackets[/url] group of elected BAA leaders and members of the board, which would have dissolved the organization鈥檚 charter, failed to secure enough votes from alumni association members to pass. Those leaders and several other association board members resigned after the failed vote.
鈥淲e have tried for several years now to reach an agreement with the university that enables us to preserve our name; the title of our magazine, the Baylor Line; and keeps our commitment to thousands of Baylor alumni,鈥?Starr said in the release.
鈥淗owever, the university has rejected our attempts at peace for over a decade and has chosen to continue its efforts to marginalize the BAA, up to and including suing its officially recognized alumni organization.鈥?
Keith Starr is not related to Baylor President Ken Starr.
Keith Starr told the Tribune-Herald the BAA is finalizing options for legal counsel to represent the organization.
鈥淭he executive committee is disappointed that we find ourselves being sued by the institution we all care about,鈥?Keith Starr said.
Baylor filed the lawsuit last week in Waco鈥檚 74th District Court, arguing that it has severed the licensing agreements that previously allowed the BAA to use the university鈥檚 name and to operate as Baylor鈥檚 official alumni organization.
The alumni association previously has argued that those agreements, signed in 1993 and 1994, are in effect in perpetuity and cannot be terminated, which should allow the group to continue operating with the same name.
Failed agreement
Baylor initially gave the BAA until Dec. 8 to stop using its name, a notice that followed the Sept. 7 vote on the transition agreement.
The agreement had approval from 55 percent of BAA members who voted on the issue in person, then a requirement in the group鈥檚 bylaws. But a two-thirds majority was needed to approve it.
The university is seeking a judgment ordering the group to [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Belts-Sale-On-Sale-Clearance-Sunglasses.html]Gucci Clearance[/url] cease using registered marks, including the name 鈥淏aylor鈥?and 鈥淏aylor University.鈥?
The university also wants injunctive relief 鈥渢o limit BAA鈥檚 purposes by reformation to provide only financial assistance to Baylor students.鈥?
Baylor spokeswoman Lori Fogleman on Monday said the BAA has 鈥渇ailed to act in response to the university鈥檚 continued request to provide any real or concrete plan of action to Baylor. The university is moving to protect the interest of Baylor, its students and alumni by seeking appropriate legal relief rather than simply waiting further for some indication of actual progress from the association.鈥?
Fogleman declined additional comment Wednesday on the BAA鈥檚 response.
Baylor charged in the lawsuit that the BAA has 鈥渁bandoned its charitable purposes鈥?as outlined in the association鈥檚 bylaws, including raising money for student scholarships.
The suit specifically notes a $1 million scholarship pledge from the BAA in February 2013 that was never completed, though the BAA has said the donation was not completed because of the discussions surrounding [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Outlet-Mens-Men-Boots-Men-Sunglasses.html]Men Gucci Boots[/url] the transition agreement.
鈥?BAA) has not abandoned its charitable purpose, to the extent that its charitable purpose has been impeded by conduct of the university,鈥?Keith Starr said.
Baylor hired 10 of the BAA鈥檚 staff after the vote on the transition agreement, Keith Starr said. But Fogleman said those hires were requested and approved by association leaders and included as part of the transition agreement. Though the agreement failed, Baylor went through with the hires.
Alumni center razed
The university in July razed the Hughes-Dillard Alumni Center the BAA had used as its headquarters since 1978, and later kicked the remaining BAA staff out of on-campus offices the organization had moved into, an action that followed the Dec. 8 deadline.
Fogleman said the same elected BAA leaders who agreed to the transition agreement also signed off on razing Hughes-Dillard in a separate document, a claim also made in Baylor鈥檚 lawsuit.
The BAA has continued to meet to discuss its future direction and mission. The group鈥檚 board of directors announced plans earlier this month to solicit feedback from members on three possible options 鈥?solely raising money for scholarships, focusing only on alumni communications or a combination of both activities.
Keith Starr said the BAA still will proceed with those plans.

BOSTON (AP) — Nine-term incumbent U.S. Rep. John Tierney on Tuesday conceded defeat to political newcomer Seth Moulton in the Democratic primary in the state’s 6th Congressional District.Tierney would be the first sitting Massachusetts congressman to lose a primary since 1992, when former U.S. Rep. Marty Meehan beat then-incumbent Chester Atkins in the Democratic primary.Moulton, a former Marine and Iraq war veteran from Salem, would face Republican Richard Tisei in the November election. He ran a well-financed campaign in his bid to unseat Tierney and suggested the incumbent had been ineffective in Congress. By mid-August, Moulton had raised $1.6 million compared with the $1.9 million raised by Tierney.During much [url=http://www.museosangennaro.com/Public/wdluk.php]Cheap Christian Louboutin[/url] of the primary Tierney had focused his attention on Tisei.Then, late in the primary, Tierney launched a campaign ad linking Moulton to Republicans who support gun rights and oppose abortion rights. The ad focused on money the Moulton campaign received from the White Mountain PAC, which is affiliated with former U.S. Sen. Judd Gregg, a New Hampshire Republican.Moulton said the ad showed that Tierney believed he was a serious challenger.Moulton has argued he would have a stronger chance of holding off Tisei, a former state senator who lost to Tierney by [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/michaelkorssonline.php] michael kors handbags[/url] less than 1 percent of the vote in the 2012 election. Tierney had responded by saying he had beaten Tisei.Immigration attorney Marisa DeFranco and two other Democrats, John Gutta and John Patrick Devine, also were on the primary ballot.It was the second tough campaign for Tierney. In 2012, he was dogged by questions about what he knew of an illegal offshore gambling ring involving his wife’s family.Moulton, a 35-year-old businessman and Harvard graduate who enlisted in the Marines in 2001, described himself in a campaign ad as a “progressive Democrat who opposed the war in Iraq.”"But I also was a Marine serving my country,” Moulton said. “So I went, led my platoon and always ate last after my men.”During the campaign, Moulton expressed his opposition to another ground war in Iraq as President Barack Obama considers the nation’s options for fighting back against Islamic State militants.Moulton also backs abortion and gay rights, tighter restrictions on gun ownership and comprehensive immigration reform. About 8 percent of the district’s population served in the military, and about 15 percent are age 64 or older.During the primary, Moulton suggested that Tierney’s victory two years ago was due in part to the political coattails of Obama and consumer advocate Elizabeth Warren, who were on the ballot and helped draw Democrats to the polls. Warren [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/gucciusaonlineoutlet.php]gucci outlet[/url] won a U.S. Senate seat against Republican Scott Brown.Tierney had rejected Moulton’s suggestion, arguing that he had the issues on his side.The general election could be equally hard fought.Republicans see the 6th Congressional District at their best chance to pick up a seat in Massachusetts.Tisei has already been the beneficiary of a $350,000 ad buy from the conservative U.S. Chamber of Commerce earlier in the year. The 30-second ad, which ran on TV and online in May, portrayed Tisei as “an independent voice for Massachusetts.” Copyright The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

We enjoyed a leisurely three-hour afternoon paddle exploring the perimeter of the pond and the circuitous channel leading three miles north to the East Orrington boat launch park and outlet dam. Except for a cluster of cottages west of the boat launch and a few on the southern shoreline, the pond provides a serene wilderness setting with 1,600 feet of the eastern shoreline part of the Audubon preserve. The 22-acre island down near the outlet channel is also owned by Maine Audubon. This time of year, given low water levels, the island is connected to the mainland by a swath of pickerelweed leaves and marsh grasses. Note the large boulder rising out of the water east of the island. Two bronze commemorative plaques are attached to it in tribute to two men who dearly [url=http://www.museosangennaro.com/Public/anel.php] Christian Louboutin Shoes UK[/url] loved this little piece of paradise. Near here is a large eagle nest with family in residence.
Shaded ledges along the southern shoreline are perfect for pulling out and relaxing. To the north you will see the white Curran Homestead up on the hill. It was dead calm on our visit, and we were treated to endless mirrored reflections in the water.
We saw many blue herons along the southern shoreline and up and down the outlet channel. Red-tailed hawks glided over the treetops keeping an eye out over the vast marsh west of the pond. A number of painted turtles swam under our canoe after tumbling down off grassy perches at our approach. There are many tall white pines right at water s edge within the Audubon preserve. East of the pond a series of hills and forested ridges rise from the water, culminating in 802-foot Copeland Hill. To the west, marshes and pockets of forest lead four miles to the Penobscot River at Orrington.
It takes about an hour to follow the outlet channel up to East Orrington. We saw a number of other paddlers, some with their dogs with them in their canoe, others fishing out of their kayaks. After a mile you will pass under a wide power line and then under the Brewer Lake Road bridge. From here the channel twists and turns, first west, then due north. Look for migrating songbirds and sparrows, and ever-vigilant [url=http://www.museosangennaro.com/Public/wdluk.php]Louboutin Shoes Outilet[/url] hawks across the open expanse of marsh.
As the crow flies you are six miles from Bangor International Airport. We could hear the occasional roar of a jet engine in the distance and would scan the sky to see if we could catch it on its climb to the south. The sound of planes was a lot different in 1927 when Godfrey Field opened. In the 1930s the renowned Amelia Earhart was often the pilot for Boston-Maine Airways on their forays to Bangor. Her star status attracted much attention to the new carrier that later became known as Northeast Airlines. Remember those jazzy Yellowbirds of the mid-1960s?
Up the slope and across the road from the Fields Pond boat launch sits the Curran Homestead overlooking the pond. This living history museum captures the essence of Maine rural living in the early 1900s. Take some time to walk around the property. There are an amazing variety of vintage tractors and farm equipment, including classic Fordson tractors developed by Henry Ford in 1917 and manufactured in Dearborn, Michigan, until production was moved to Cork, Ireland, in 1925. Museum director Bruce Bowden is very enthusiastic and welcomes visitors with a big smile and a wealth of fascinating information. On Saturday Sept. 27 they are holding their annual Harvest Festival, with fresh cider, [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/clreplicashoes.php]Christian Louboutin Shoes Sale[/url] homemade cookies and many fun events, including the jitterbug pulling challenge that has nothing to do with dancing, Come see what it is all about. You ll even get to see a working crank style telephone in operation.
Still have lots of exploratory energy left? Stop in at the Audubon Center up the road and hike along the pond or in the meadows and woods. They have many miles of trails to enjoy, and the foliage is just starting to turn.

The driver of a pickup truck died in a single-car crash on South Road in Chebeague Island Monday afternoon after striking a utility pole.
The driver, who was the only [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/clreplicashoes.php] Christian Louboutin Outlet Online[/url] person in the 1998 Ford Ranger truck, has not been identified pending notification of the family. The driver was not wearing a seat belt and was pronounced dead at the scene of the accident, which [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/guccioutlet.onlinesalecc.php]Gucci Outlet Store[/url] occurred around 4:24 p.m. Monday.

On August 4聽the Oakland Raiders published their , and McFadden was listed behind . The 2008 fourth overall pick from Arkansas has been the Week 1 regular season starter at tailback since his rookie year, but it s聽not yet time to bury聽the tradition.
鈥淚鈥檓 going out there competing every day, and I fully expect to (start),鈥?McFadden told Sports Out West after the announcement.
The battle for top dog between McFadden and Jones-Drew is not as crucial as one may think. Both backs expect to split carries this season, with the ex-Jacksonville Jaguars star used primarily as a grinder and the incumbent maximized as an open-space weapon. While the pair has stopped short of sharing lunch with each other, McFadden noted that his rival is a good [url=http://www.alportico.net/page.php?sale=Gucci-Man-Bag]Gucci Discount[/url] teammate.
鈥淲e always talk. We go back and forth about what we see on the field, and he鈥檚 a veteran guy, a great guy. I look forward to going out there playing with him.鈥?
McFadden knew what he was getting into when he turned down rosier opportunities to re-sign with the Raiders for one year and $ million this offseason. In addition to Jones-Drew, the 26-year-old will have to fend off tantalizing prospect , but stiff competition was apparently never a factor.
鈥淚鈥檓 a loyal guy. I want to be here (in Oakland),鈥?stressed McFadden. 鈥淚 started my career here and you know this is the place I want (to) be. This is like a second home to me.鈥?
Knee, ankle and foot injuries have stunted McFadden鈥檚 potential, causing him to miss 29 of 96 regular season games. The Raiders recently changed the back鈥檚 weight lifting routines in an attempt to keep him healthier (as by Jerry McDonald), but his in-game habits may be [url=http://www.alportico.net/page.php?sale=Flora-By-Gucci]Cheap Gucci Uk[/url] the issue. McFadden models himself after and , two north-south runners who also struggled with injuries. Nonetheless, the 6-foot-2, 210-pounder is ready to give his shoulder-checking strut another go.
鈥淢y body feels great and my health is good, so I鈥檓 looking forward to getting out there and playing.鈥?
McFadden鈥檚 best pro season was in 2010 when he rushed for 1,157 yards on 223 attempts (5.2 average) and 507 yards through the air on 47 catches (10.8 average) with聽10 total touchdowns in 13 games. McFadden led the league in rushing yards (610) through Week 6 in 2011 before a Lisfranc injury did聽him in.
Recognizing his career is [url=http://www.alportico.net/page.php?sale=True-Religion-Jeans-Website]True Religion Jeans Website[/url] at a crossroads, the six-year veteran is primed to take advantage of a rebuilt front five and make his name infamous in Raiders lore.
鈥淚 want to be one of those guys that people say had a bad start to my career as far as injuries and things, but came on strong towards the end of my career and left a lasting impression on the league.鈥?
鈥淚鈥檓 just looking forward to getting the season started.鈥?

TEMPLE (September 8, 2014) Doctors at McLane Children’s Hospital in Temple Monday said they鈥檙e monitoring a jump in the number of patients with respiratory illnesses, but say the strain here is not as severe as a severe virus that has sickened hundreds of children in about a dozen states in the Midwest.
The hospital received more than 100 reports of children with respiratory issues last week.
“Once school starts and you have [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Handbags-Outlet-Beanie-Hat-Men-Bag-Black-Handbag.html]Black Gucci Handbag[/url] a respiratory virus that’s as aggressive as this is,” Dr. Dominic Lucia, McLane Children’s Hospital emergency medical director.
“It’s the perfect combination to really cause quite a bit of illness in the community. We in Texas and in the central Texas area have been fortunate. We haven’t been hit quite as hard as some of the other states but we are still seeing especially in our asthmatic population and what we call our 鈥榖ronchiolitic鈥?population.”
“You have to look at your child, see what preexisting conditions they have and pay attention [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Outlet-Online-James-Franco-Mane-Videos-Mission-Statement.html]Gucci Mane Videos[/url] to signs and symptoms,” he said.
There’s no treatment or vaccine for the respiratory virus.
Only supported care such as hydration, rest, and staying away from other children can help relieve the symptoms, he said. [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Sale-Online-Glasses-Frames-Sweaters-Handbag.html]Gucci Glasses Frames[/url]
Seton Medical Center in Harker Heights has also noted an increase in similar cases in the last couple of weeks.
The suspected culprit in the Midwest, where nearly 500 children were treated at one hospital alone in Kansas City, Mo., is called enterovirus 68, an uncommon strain of a very common family of viruses that typically hit from summertime through the fall.
The virus typically causes illness lasting about a week and most children recover with no lasting problems.
The U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration is requiring local governments to evaluate their bridges for new load ratings by Dec. 2017, to ensure that the structures can handle modern vehicles that are designed to haul heavier loads. Thurston County Public Works is about a third of the way through checking those weight limits on the 119 roadway bridges in its inventory, according to civil engineer Matt Unzelman.However, the county is going to hire an outside firm to do some of the inspections. The Board of [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Chritian-Louboutin]Chritian Louboutin[/url] County Commissioners voted 3-0 to hire Exeltech Consulting Inc. of Lacey to conduct that work on 10 structures, ranging from the Old Highway 101 Bridge to the Mud Bay Bridge. Some of our more structurally complex bridges are included with these 10 bridges, Unzelman told The Olympian. We just need a different level of expertise. The ratings will determine if the county needs to add a weight limits to some of its structures, he said.County manager Cliff Moore described the work as routine, but said it s an important long-term process for the county. Like most jurisdictions in the nation, we are trying to keep on this issue, he said. The money will come from the county s road fund, and will include the following structures. (Size and inspection information was listed in the county s 2014 Bridge Index.) James Road Bridge (culvert), known as J-1, which goes over an overflow channel, was built in 1985. The 25-foot-long structure was given a 98.19 sufficiency rating during an Aug. 8, 2012, inspection. Littlerock Road Bridge, known as L-5, which goes over a ditch, was built in 1960. The 20-foot-long bridge was given a 49.66 rating during a Nov. 21, 2013 inspection. Crews made some emergency repairs on the bridge this spring for scour and cracking. It is just down the road and the same design as the L-4 Bridge which is undergoing a complete replacement [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Miller-Thong-Tory-Burch]Miller Thong Tory Burch[/url] due to structural deficiencies. Mud Bay Bridge, known as O-4, which goes over Mud Bay, was built in 1978. The 208-foot-long bridge was given a sufficiency rating of 77.02 during a Sept. 27, 2012 inspection. Old Highway 101 Bridge, known as O-3 which goes over Perry Creek, was built in 1958.The 105-foot-long bridge was given a sufficiency rating of 80.31 during a Sept. 14, 2012 inspection. Oyster Bay Culvert, known as OB-1, which goes over Schneider Creek, was built in 2010. The 20-foot-long bridge was given a sufficiency rating of 85.8 during a June 12, 2012, inspection. Steamboat Island Bridge, known as S-7, which goes over Totten Inlet, was built in 1982. The 706-foot-long structure was given a sufficiency rating of 68.73 during a Sept. 14, 2012, inspection.

The defense, while not spectacular or even good, was at least competent. Expectations were that they would be much worse than that this season. looks to be playing the game with a passion, and although it will take some time for him to get fully in to the swing of things, the former first-round draft pick is showing [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Sale-Jackie-Bag-Book-Bag-Tee-Shirts.html]Gucci Book Bag[/url] the potential to be the player that the Dallas front office thought he could become. Rod Marinelli and his staff have a baseline to build upon in the coming weeks, and it is higher than what many expected it to be.
The Bad
The Dallas offense, even though they proved that they could move the ball effectively, displayed a tenancy to shoot itself in the foot. shoulders a good portion of the blame with his three interceptions early, but there is plenty of responsibility to be shared. There were mental errors from Pro Bowl caliber tackle and future Hall of Famer Jason Witten. Terrence Williams is still trying to catch the ball with his body, and had a critical turnover on the opening series. The offense cannot afford another outing where it does not get in sync early. Even though the defense looked better than expected, Romo and Company are going to have to have to establish Cowboys dominance early and often for Dallas to experience success.
The Ugly
The Cowboys dominated the the time of possession in the first quarter. They held the [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Sale-Online-Women-Wallet-Coin-Purse-Mens-Clothes.html]Gucci Sale Online[/url] ball for, if my memory is correct, over 13 minutes. Sometimes that is good, it means that the offense is moving the ball and putting points on the board. At other times it means that the opponent’s defense is scoring or giving their offense a short field where they can strike quickly. On Sunday the San Francisco defense was doing both. The Cowboys ability to to make the Niners’ depleted defense look better than they actually were dug the team a hole that they could not escape. By the time the game’s second stanza began, the fat lady was tuning up and getting ready to sing. Take away the first 15 minutes and Dallas played well enough to have at least been in the game. As it was, there way too much ugly for them to overcome.
Like everyone else in Cowboys Universe I am saddened by what we saw on Sunday. Unlike many I am also taking away some positives. The team is a work in progress but I saw enough to believe that they can be more successful than many expect. It will take work, and plenty of it, but this can be a [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Belts-Online-Winter-Boots-China-Womens-Loafers.html]Gucci China[/url] decent season. The first thing that must happen is the team needs to stop beating themselves. Everything revolves around that. The Dallas Cowboys are not good enough to play ugly and win.

Following the successful broadcast of the Dota 2 tournament in mid-July which surpassed expectations across the board, rumors circulated that ESPN was looking to expand its eSports coverage. The source for said rumor indicated the network was in advanced talks with Major League Gaming to possibly cover MLG s Call of Duty competitions.
Personal opinions aside, there s no doubt a ton of money to be made from eSports. Sure, gaming tournaments likely wouldn t bring in the kind of ratings one would expect from college football, the NFL, the NBA and other major sporting events but given ESPN s vast number [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Handbags-Outlet-Sukey-Mens-Shirts-Rings.html]Mens Gucci Shirts[/url] of channels, I m sure they could find a few empty slots to fill out their lineup.

Social safety net programs overseen by Washington s biggest state government agency are running in the red, and the hole likely will require a $25 million patch from the Legislature in January.That s the assessment of Department of Social and Health Services Secretary Kevin Quigley, who described the situation as a budget crisis. He said a surge in calls to Child Protective Services hotlines, higher costs in welfare programs and mental hospitals, and information technology needs are all driving his agency s budget shortfall.Quigley said that shortfall is in addition to the $30 million needed to stop the practice of psychiatric boarding, which the state Supreme Court ruled last month must stop. The high court has given until Dec. 26 to halt the practice of sticking such patients in hospital emergency rooms without appropriate treatment.Beyond the psychiatric boarding issues, the department s shortfall which Quigley estimated at $25 million to $26 million includes a gap in Child Protective Services where calls to hotlines reporting abuse or seeking help have been surging. Quigley [url=http://www.symbiose.ca/images/christianlouboutin.gwij.php]Christian Louboutin Outlet[/url] thinks he ll need $6 million to $8 million in emergency spending to fix the problem, and he may have to add 50 to 100 more staffers.Calls and investigations have increased by 10 to 15 percent and have led to a backlog of 2,000 cases not handled within the 90-day limit his agency must meet. Quigley said there were about 2,000 cases exceeding that limit when Gov. Jay Inslee took office in early 2013. The agency had since reduced the backlog to about 600 cases, only to see it go back up to 2,000. There should be zero cases open more than 90 days. In fact, there should be zero cases open more than 60 days, in my opinion, he said.One other particular area of concern is the state s mental hospitals, which overspent budgets by about $3 million in the year that ended June 30. These facilities will be $6 million in the hole by the time lawmakers return in January, Quigley said. The big challenge normally is if you don t have funding, you have to close a ward. But the Legislature has been quite clear they don t want to close wards, Quigley said. He said lawmakers of both parties deserve credit for [url=http://www.alportico.net/gosoc.php] true religion outlet[/url] raising funding for mental hospitals, but he expects them to have concerns about the management of overtime pay as they try to contain costs. Other costs are rising in welfare programs, which have required extra personnel to process claims. A big piece of potentially $8 million in extra expenses is in information technology and includes a fix for the computer program used to determine eligibility for benefits. Other costs are for doing incapacity exams for disabled people who are in transition to being covered by Social Security and to move community-services staffers in Vancouver from a leased building to a state-owned structure.The agency is having more success sticking to the budget in other [url=http://www.museosangennaro.com/Public/anel.php] Christian Louboutin Shoes Outlet[/url] areas. Budgets for aging and long-term care, developmental disabilities and juvenile rehabilitation seem to be in good shape, according to the secretary.Top House and Senate budget writers could not be reached immediately for comment Monday. But the welfare programs division known as Community Services recently staged from Senate Republican Leader Mark Schoesler of Ritzville, who called it a splurge. I m very skeptical of their budgeting. I think they always have slush money tucked away (Agencies) always trot out the most needy or cite a court ruling, Schoesler said Monday. But clearly we re not out of budget difficulties and they ve shown real insensitivity. Quigley defended the trainings, which the agency estimated to have cost $217 for each of the more than 2,100 employees who attended two-day workshops in Tacoma. The state paid $17,500 to a humorist and motivational speaker to address each of three workshops, but Quigley said community service offices have high turnover and it makes sense to spend $217 on boosting a staffer s morale than to spend $25,000 training a new worker.

Here鈥檚 how this crazy experiment came about: I was watching TV with my wife and suddenly found myself in a big fat puddle of embarrassing ugly cry, thanks to an Extra Gum commercial about birds and college and heartbreak 鈥?something like that. It was hard to tell what [url=http://www.museosangennaro.com/Public/anel.php] Christian Louboutin Shoes UK[/url] was going on through all those tears.
When I had a kid, some change came over me and all of a sudden those long distance and coffee commercials that I used to be able to ignore started turning me into a crazy mess of emotion. They just sneak up on you, these commercials. One second, you鈥檙e watching a favorite show and then next you have to excuse yourself for a moment to regroup.
That鈥檚 how a contest to see which commercial is the hands down winner for the biggest emotional impact.聽
In hindsight, I shouldn鈥檛 have used the word Sappy, because I think that implies a level of cheesiness that these commercials don鈥檛 offer. Thunderdome of Heartbreaking Parenting Commercials, perhaps?
Oh well, too late. After seeing two rounds of these fabulous commercials, I think you get the point anyway.
And now here we are.聽Round Three.聽This is the biggie.
Listed below are all eight commercials that have survived the first two rounds.聽The top two move on the final round.
Watch all eight and then vote for your top two at the bottom. But be warned: You might need a moment to leave the room and regroup 鈥?
1. EXTRA GUM BIRDS
The commercial that started it all. After watching it 5,000 times for this contest, the dad sort of reminds me of an origami-making robot now. [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/guccioutlet.onlinesalecc.php]Gucci Shoes[/url] But the pay off at the end still gets me every time. I鈥檓 wagering this moves on to the final round.
2. THAI THIEF TURNS DOCTOR
A long one, to be sure, but so, so worth it. Why don鈥檛 we make commercials like this in America? This is a contender for sure.
3. P G 鈥?THANKS, MOM
This P G campaign gets spread around social media like wild fire every four years for its celebration of sports moms and champion making.
4. VISA 鈥?DEREK REDMOND
Another sports-parenting moment and arguably the best sports-parenting commercial of all time. Nine times out of 10 I can barely make it through this one.
5. AD COUNCIL 鈥?KETCHUP SOUP
By this time in the commercial viewing, you鈥檙e probably a wreck. And I apologize because it鈥檚 about to get a whole lot worse. This could easily move on to the final [url=http://www.alportico.net/gosoc.php] true religion outlet[/url] round and be our champion. I predict at least a Top 3 finish.
6. COCA COLA 鈥?LIFE
This one will turn you into a mess for different reasons, and it鈥檚 so refreshing to see a commercial dad just absolutely gushing in a joy so profound that it will bring tears of happiness to your eyes. This aired in Argentina and again, I wonder why American audiences aren鈥檛 getting commercials like these. I predict this will be in the final round.
7. BUDWEISER 鈥?CLYDESDALE
Yes, it鈥檚 a horse. But it FEELS like a parenting bond. Probably the best combination of song and images in the whole mix.
8. PFIZER 鈥?BE BRAVE
Anyone who has ever had a brother or sister can relate to the lengths we鈥檇 go to for each other. If you鈥檙e not a puddle at the end of this, you鈥檙e not human.

Officials say the single-engine Cessna 172 Skyhawk took off from South Albany Airport at 4:50 p.m. Monday and soon afterward crashed into a rail car at the nearby CSX yard just south of Albany.
One person [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Handbags-Outlet-Mens-Glasses-Headband-Jelly-Sandals.html]Gucci Jelly Sandals[/url] on the plane was pronounced dead at the scene and the other died on the way to an Albany hospital.

BAA also is planning to publish a new issue of The Baylor Line alumni magazine in late January or early February, though it may end up being a digital edition now that the association鈥檚 staff has dwindled from 11 employees to two.
And the organization is amending its bylaws to [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Discount-Buy-Online-Purses-Handbags-Outlet.html]Gucci Purses[/url] allow remote, mail-in or electronic voting on future business matters after gaining unanimous approval for the change during a Saturday meeting at Baylor鈥檚 George W. Truett Seminary attended by about 75 members.
New president George Cowden III said much of the action is a matter of necessity to make sure the alumni association has a stable and clear vision to continue its operations in the future, separate from Baylor.
鈥淲e have to develop,鈥?Cowden said. 鈥淲e鈥檙e a separate organization, so we continue to exist, and we can only dissolve if we decide to do so. But we don鈥檛 desire to do so, and we鈥檙e going to continue to exist and try to define what our purpose is going to be into the future.鈥?
The organization has had to elect five new officers and 14 board members after those leaders resigned.
Baylor issued the 90-day deadline over the use of its name and licensing marks following a Sept. 7 vote over a proposed transition agreement that would have transferred BAA鈥檚 alumni outreach services to Baylor but allowed the organization to continue publishing The Baylor Line.
Though the majority of the 1,500 members present for the vote at Waco Hall were in favor of the agreement, it did not meet the two-thirds threshold needed for the measure to pass.
Cowden said Saturday that BAA鈥檚 attorney sent the university鈥檚 legal counsel a notice that the organization would not meet the deadline. An extension was not sought, he said.
The next step will be for BAA鈥檚 board of directors to hammer out options for future operations, Cowden said.
Some ideas being discussed include continuing to operate as it has historically, changing its name but still being an alumni group, or changing its mission altogether to become a foundation that could possibly raise money for scholarships.
鈥淚 think we would like to do outreach if we were allowed to do it, but as a practical matter, that鈥檚 no longer our function,鈥?Cowden said. 鈥淭he university and (its Baylor Alumni Network) have taken that over, and have made it very clear that they鈥檙e performing [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Sale-Online-Boots-Sale-Cheap-Clothes-Boutique.html]Cheap Gucci Clothes[/url] that service.鈥?
He said Saturday鈥檚 vote was essential for the future planning process to get greater input from members.
It also will allow the association to act more quickly on voting on business matters, whether that is changing BAA鈥檚 mission or further amending its bylaws, depending on the recommendations of the board of directors.
But some members said they weren鈥檛 inclined to give up on using the current BAA name or ending alumni outreach.
鈥淕o ahead and do what we鈥檝e been doing,鈥?said Hornor Shelton. 鈥淔orget (the deadline) and go ahead and operate as we have been.鈥?
Board member Lyndon Olson Jr. said to simply give up on BAA鈥檚 historical mission would result in the 鈥渋ndependent voice of the university being lost.鈥?
Olson said Baylor鈥檚 Board of Regents has made it clear that they want to get rid of the alumni association, its magazine, and to be completely in control of the information distributed to alumni and supporters.
鈥淭his entire conflict, other than a few people鈥檚 egos, is about the freedom of speech,鈥?Olson said. 鈥淲e have agreements with Baylor, contractual agreements that we [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Outlet-Purse-Slides-Hysteria-Bag.html]Gucci Hysteria Bag[/url] believe are valid, that we have lived up to, and don鈥檛 believe it鈥檚 right for Baylor, because they don鈥檛 like what we say, to try and take our name away.鈥?
Prior to the transition agreement vote, Baylor this summer tore down the Hughes-Dillard Alumni Center that had been BAA鈥檚 on-campus headquarters since 1978. Baylor has since hired nine former BAA staff members to various jobs.
The university created the Baylor Alumni Network and the free Baylor Magazine in 2002 as an alternative to BAA and The Baylor Line, and later ended funding support to BAA and banned the organization from accessing databases of new graduates鈥?contact information.
鈥淚 think this has all been one-sided from the university, showing how powerful they are and that the alumni don鈥檛 make any difference,鈥?member Jim Hardwick said. 鈥淭hey don鈥檛 care what the alumni do, just send money, send money.鈥?
Raymond Hughes-Dillard, grandson of the two families who provided the lead donations to build the alumni center, said he is hopeful that BAA can continue to forge a new path ahead, though he fears it will have to be resolved in a courtroom.
鈥淚 think litigation is probably in the future,鈥?Hughes-Dillard said. 鈥淚 think the way things have gone between the two entities, nobody is going to give in without the courts ordering them to resolve it.鈥?
Cowden said no lawsuits are pending or have been filed by either BAA or Baylor.

Add one more question mark to Washington’s already shaky pass defense.
Coming off a game where the Huskies won despite yielding seven touchdowns through the air to Eastern Washington, they’ll face another pass-heavy team in Illinois on Saturday, and they’ll reportedly do it without their top defensive back.
The Seattle Times’ that the Huskies have suspended star junior cornerback Marcus Peters for the game against the Illini, stemming from a sideline tantrum ge threw after being benched for an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty against Eastern Washington.
UW coach Chris Petersen declined to address Peters’ status at his [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/guccioutlet.onlinesalecc.php]Gucci Outlet Store[/url] weekly press conference Monday.
“I told you after the game we’ve got to conduct ourselves the right way,” he said. “We have discipline things, we keep those in-house and go from there.”
Peters, a second-team All-Pac-12 selection last season, is the only member of the secondary that entered 2014 with starting experience for the Huskies, so his absence clearly puts them at a disadvantage against Illinois and its quarterback, Wes Lunt, who is coming off a 456-yard passing performance against Western Kentucky last weekend.
Petersen wasn’t shy in admitting how much the inexperienced secondary struggled against Eastern Washington quarterback Vernon Adams Jr., but he also made sure to give the Eagles credit where it’s due.
“The detail it needs to be successful at this level is obviously not there yet,” he said of the defensive backs. “We’ve just got to make plays on the ball. We were around the ball a lot. Vernon Adams threw some pinpoint strikes and those kids are reaching out and making those catches. We just have to go out and play tighter coverage. That’s the thing that jumps out to me.”
The hope from Petersen is that the defensive backs [url=http://www.alportico.net/prodotti/christianlouboutin-sale.jkmsw.php]Christian Louboutin[/url] will quickly learn from the crash-course Adams took them on.
“They have some talent, they have good talent,” he said. “Now we’ve got to get them some experience and hopefully all those things that have happened to them, they’re smart enough to learn and move forward. Then we don’t have to have these mistakes happen over and over.”
Miles not happy with first performance
Cyler Miles’ first start at quarterback was a mixed bag he rushed for 58 yards and three touchdowns, but his passing efficiency (14 for 24, 180 yards) has room for improvement.
Petersen said Miles’ game was close to what he expected, but he was satisfied with how Miles perceived his own performance.
“Probably one of the best things I thought about him was after the game, I don’t think he felt like he played great, which I thought was kind of accurate,” Petersen said. “I thought he played well, but I don’t think he played great. So I think that’s good when he’s seeing things in a realistic viewpoint, kind of how we see it as well. I think he’s going to continue to improve and get better, but I thought he played hard.”
Notes
Petersen acknowledged that senior Ben Riva and redshirt freshman Coleman Shelton have [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/clreplicashoes.php]Christian Louboutin Outlet[/url] found themselves in a battle for the right tackle spot. Shelton was afforded an opportunity when an undisclosed injury kept Riva out of the Week 1 win over Hawaii, and he continued to play well even with Riva back in action last week.
Junior TE Joshua Perkins’ status is week-to-week, Petersen said.

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. 鈥?A professor who lost a job offer from the University of Illinois over dozens of sometimes-profane Twitter messages that critics deemed anti-Semitic demanded Tuesday that he be given the position and threatened to take legal action otherwise.Attorneys for Steven Salaita said during a news conference at a YMCA on the Urbana-Champaign campus that they believe the university鈥檚 Board of Trustees will make a decision on his hiring during a meeting scheduled Thursday. If he isn鈥檛 given the job, they said they鈥檒l go to court to try to get an injunction to force the university to hire him.鈥淢y Twitter messages were no doubt passionate and unfiltered,鈥?said Salaita, who was speaking publicly for the first time since he lost the job offer after he posted messages about Israeli military action in Gaza.Salaita accepted an offer in October 2013 to become [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/clreplicashoes.php]Christian Louboutin Outlet[/url] a Native American Studies professor and was due to start last month before being told that same month that the offer was rescinded.鈥淚 had one foot in the door already,鈥?Salaita said, adding that he didn鈥檛 regret posting the messages but regretted they鈥檇 led to 鈥渉urt feelings.鈥濃€淚鈥檇 come to Champaign-Urbana twice already looking for housing, trying to get the move in order. … My [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/gucciusaonlineoutlet.php]gucci outlet[/url] classes had already been assigned.鈥漀either trustees Chairman Christopher Kennedy nor Urbana-Champaign campus Chancellor Phyllis Wise, who wrote Salaita on Aug. 1 to tell him he didn鈥檛 have a job, responded to requests for comment.But Robin Kaler, a spokeswoman for Wise, said the chancellor would not change her mind and that the university 鈥渟tands by the decision not to hire Professor Salaita.鈥濃€淲e remain devoted to fostering a campus-wide dialogue on the most uncomfortable issues that are vital to our very foundation and will continue to work closely with our students, faculty and staff to nurture an environment where all issues, including the most complicated ones, can be discussed,鈥?she said.Trustees are scheduled to meet Thursday in Urbana. The meeting agenda doesn鈥檛 reference Salaita but includes a closed-door executive session.Salaita wrote dozens of anti-Israel Twitter messages in July and August. Some were profane while others drew charges of anti-Semitism and other concerns from university students, parents and donors who emailed Wise.Trustees hadn鈥檛 approved Salaita鈥檚 hire, the final step before he would have been granted tenure, which likely would have protected his speech. Salaita鈥檚 defenders say that since many professors begin work before trustees have the chance to approve their hires, Salaita was already effectively employed.After she wrote to Salaita, Wise said her decision was based on concerns about the 鈥渁busive鈥?nature of his messages and the need for civility in the classroom.On Tuesday, Salaita said he鈥檇 never 鈥渂row-beaten鈥?any students for their views and that the tone and content of Twitter messages don鈥檛 reflect the approach he takes in class.鈥淭witter is a kind of medium in [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/gucciusaonlineoutlet.php] cheap gucci[/url] which argument is happening in real time amid a rush of reaction and perspectives,鈥?he said.

Dr. Maya Angelou at her 82nd birthday party with friends and family at Angelou s home on May 20, 2010, in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. (Photo by Steve Exum/Getty Images)Related PostsPoetry and hip-hop fans are in for a pleasant surprise. Maya Angelou鈥檚 iconic words from her book聽I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings are given a hip-hop twist, which will be heard in a new album entitled Caged Bird Songs.
The hip-hop songs are produced by Shawn Rivera and RoccStar. Rivera is the lead singer of group Az Yet, while Roccstar is known for co-writing 鈥淔ine China鈥?by Chris Brown.
The new album has 13 songs and will be released through Smooch on November 4 of this year.
Angelou had the chance to work [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Michael-Kors-Uk]Michael Kors Uk[/url] on this album, and it was one of the several projects she had worked on before passing away last May.
An interview with her grandson Colin A. Johnson reveals that Angelou loved the concept from the beginning and that the producers were 鈥渋nspired by grandma鈥檚 work.鈥?
Rivera and Roccstar felt that delivering her words in a different medium would help broaden its聽reach to a wider range of people.
Johnson said that the pair of musicians [url=http://www.radiorcs.com/page.php?sale=Kate-Spade-Laptop-Tote]Kate Spade Laptop Tote[/url] had started working on the project without Angelou鈥檚 knowledge. She eventually backed the project once she found out about it, even going as far as lending previously recorded vocals and using her home in North Carolina as a place to record the tracks.
鈥淪he just laughed,鈥?Johnson said about Angelou鈥檚 initial reaction to the songs. This response was the same one she had when she first learned that she had her own Facebook page.
He also said that his grandmother was a fan of hip-hop, seeing the music as a way for people of this generation to communicate and convey messages. He added that she had 鈥済reat stories about her interactions with Tupac (Shakur).
Johnson hopes that the album will help youngsters connect with Angelou鈥檚 work just as they did with his own teen children. He also said聽his children [url=http://www.alportico.net/page.php?sale=Cheap-True-Religion-Jeans-For-Men]Cheap True Religion Jeans For Men[/url] no longer pick up books of poetry without them being assigned by school, or unless he assigns them. So hearing a poet鈥檚 message in music allows the words to reach younger generations.
He manages his grandmother鈥檚 estate along with his father Guy B. Johnson and also runs the Caged Bird Legacy, which will launch future Maya Angelou projects.
The Caged Bird Songs is just one of a few other things that they have lined up, most of which were projects Angelou had worked on before and are now at various levels of completion.

The researchers at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention say from 2000 to 2009, the rate for all childhood cancers combined, 171 cases per million children, remained stable, although there were slight increases in blacks and adolescents.
During that period there were about 120,000 new cancer diagnoses among infants and children ages 1 through 19.
Researchers say for thyroid cancer, the rate of diagnosis climbed from nearly [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Belts-Online-Baby-Belt-Sale-Cheap-Watch.html]Gucci Belt Sale[/url] six cases per million children to eight per million children in 2009, and for kidney cancer, the rate climbed from 0.5 cases per million to 0.7 cases per million.
Studies showing increases in both kinds of cancer in adults have suggested [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Sale-Mens-Bracelet-Kids-Shoes-Www-Shoes.html]Cheap Gucci Sale[/url] causes might include rising obesity rates.
Childhood obesity also has increased in recent years.
The report appeared in Monday’s Pediatrics.

WASHINGTON (September 8, 2014) Many people newly covered by Medicaid under the federal health law are seeking treatment in hospital emergency rooms, one of the [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Belts-Sale-Men-Belt-Hobo-Bags-Knit-Hat.html]Gucci Belts Sale[/url] most expensive settings for health care, according to an analysis that the Colorado Hospital Association released Monday.
The analysis, which a real-time glimpse at how the nation’s newest social program is working, also found signs that newly insured Medicaid patients admitted to hospitals may be sicker than [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Belts-Online-Key-Chains-Wholesale-Bags-Diamond-Watch.html]Wholesale Gucci Bags[/url] patients previously covered by the program, which serves more than 60 million low-income and disabled people.
Taxpayers could save millions of dollars if newly insured Medicaid patients with routine needs are steered to community health centers [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Outlet-Mens-Men-Boots-Men-Sunglasses.html]Mens Gucci[/url] or urgent care clinics, not service-intensive emergency rooms.
The study looked at 25 states.
Thirteen of them expanded Medicaid, and 12 did not.

Should Pierce squander that opportunity, as he did in Week 1, then his involvement in the running back rotation will be sharply on the decline. The Ravens struggled to run the ball last year, which contributed to the team’s 8-8 finish.
Though the [url=http://www.museosangennaro.com/Public/wdluk.php]Louboutin Shoes Outilet[/url] offensive line was mostly to blame for that outcome, any problems running the ball this year could easily lead to the same outcome. Clearly the Ravens [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/michaelkorssonline.php] michael kors bags[/url] do not have patience for mistakes or slow starts based on the decisions they made in Week 1.
With Pierce benched after a mere six carries, Week 2 might be his final chance to prove he can reliably shoulder the run game’s load this year. Pierce’s leash is short [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/guccioutlet.onlinesalecc.php]Gucci Outlet Store[/url] and Forsett and Taliaferro are breathing down his neck, waiting for the chance to be named the Ravens’ true starting running back.
One more mistake a fumble, a botched blitz pickup, a dropped pass could throw Pierce to No. 3 on the depth chart, forgotten while others carry the football and the trust of the coaches.
Hey there! This is kind of off topic but I need
some advice from an established blog. Is it very difficult to set up
your own blog? I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty fast.
I’m thinking about making my own but I’m not

When Manager Billy McMillon finished his end-of-the-season address to his Portland Sea Dogs, the hugs began. McMillon, pitching coach Bob Kipper and hitting coach Rich Gedman made their rounds, congratulating players and saying farewells.
Then the players approached each other. More hugs.
Catcher Michael Brenly, always one to lighten the mood, joked that the sentimentality was getting out of hand.
What started almost seven months ago in the heat of Florida spring training, ended on a comfortable September afternoon in Portland, with an 8-5 loss in the Eastern League playoffs.
There [url=http://www.museosangennaro.com/Public/wdluk.php]Christian Louboutin Shoes Sale[/url] were plenty of accomplishments, including a franchise-best regular-season record of 88-54, and 14 players promoted to the next level (including two who received the news after Sunday s game).
But McMillon witnessed more than the tangible.
I addition to those guys being promoted, I think some of them got a better sense how to be a teammate, how to root for your teammates, how to start thinking about doing the little things that help ballclubs win, McMillon said.
The fact that some of these guys learned those lessons here, it s going to help them when they get to (Triple-A) Pawtucket, when they get to Boston or any other major league club.
Second baseman Sean Coyle might have been one of those promoted, had he not missed 45 games because of injuries during the season. Coyle batted .295 with an .883 OPS and a team-leading 16 home runs.
He also missed the final playoff game because of another injury 鈥?a badly-bruised left wrist, the result of being hit by a pitch Saturday.
It was tough to miss the last [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/gucciusaonlineoutlet.php]gucci outlet[/url] game, Coyle said. Pretty tough to watch them 鈥?but I proudly watched them. This team doesn t give up.
It s what Billy talked about in our closing meeting. We didn t give up. That s how we ve been all year and that s how we were today. A proud effort by the guys.
Behind 8-1, the Sea Dogs scored one in the fourth, one in the fifth, two in the sixth.
Part of who we are as the Sea Dogs, being down 8-1 and fighting back, reliever Robby Scott said. There wasn t a doubt in anyone s mind that this team could do it.
It didn t happen but we sure as heck kept fighting.
But the Binghamton Mets bullpen shut down the Sea Dogs in the final three innings. Hadlock fans applauded the effort and the players slowly walked toward the clubhouse, some turning to wave to the crowd.
Soon, they sat in front of their lockers, listening to McMillon one last time.
He just said to keep our heads high. We had an incredible run throughout the year, Scott said.
Scott is another one who could have [url=http://www.alportico.net/prodotti/christianlouboutin-sale.jkmsw.php]Christian Louboutin Replica[/url] been promoted to Pawtucket after a breakout season (8-2, 1.96 ERA).
Three more experienced relievers were promoted before him. But Scott is on the Red Sox radar and will be in the prospect-filled Arizona Fall League next month.
Just one of many good players to wear a Sea Dogs uniform in 2014.

BALTIMORE Janay Rice, wife of suspended NFL player Ray Rice who was released [url=http://www.museosangennaro.com/Public/wdluk.php]Louboutin Shoes Outilet[/url] by the Baltimore Ravens, apparently posted a statement Tuesday on Instagram calling the situation a nightmare and slamming the media for ruining their lives.
To take something away from the man I love that he has worked his ass off for all his life just to gain ratings is a horrific (sic), she wrote.
on Monday after a video surfaced showing him knocking her out with a punch in February, and dragging her limp body out of a casino elevator. The NFL then suspended him indefinitely from football.
In response to texts sent to [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/guccioutlet.onlinesalecc.php]Gucci Outlet Store[/url] him on Tuesday, Rice texted CNN [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/guccioutlet.onlinesalecc.php]Gucci Outlet[/url] sports journalist Rachel Nichols: I m just holding strong for my wife and kid, that s all I can do right now.
The were taken Monday after a video surfaced showing him knocking her out with a punch in February.
The Instagram post, reported by various media, appeared to be authentic.
Crime has fallen citywide from 1,302 incidents in 2008 to 880 incidents in 2014, according to the mayor’s office.Today, there are block parties in the West Ward. Crumbling homes have been snapped up, dusted off or rebuilt. In the West Ward, it’s always two steps forward and one step back, said Larry Porter, who in 1990 bought and refurbished an old bar and turned it into Porters’ Pub.Porter says more and more people are driving over the hump [url=http://www.radiorcs.com/page.php?sale=Kate-Spade-Owl-Handbag]Kate Spade Owl Handbag[/url] on Northampton street meaning the imaginary line on Northampton Street where downtown ends and the West Ward begins to visit local restaurants.’Wonderful place to grow up’The West Ward is bounded east and west by Sixth Street and 15th Street respectively, south by the Lehigh River and north by Bushkill Creek. About 16,000 of the city’s 26,000 residents live there.Unlike College Hill, which grew around the Lafayette College campus, the West Ward grew from Easton’s natural outgrowth of the city’s first 1,000 acres.Business owners built more palatial homes on the western outskirts of the city, Holden said. For example, local silk mill owner Herman Simon first owned a home in the West Ward before building his more extravagant mansion now a historic landmark on North Third Street.Working-class people built row homes and more modest single-family dwellings to fill in the gaps, Holden said.When she was growing up in the West Ward, families still lived in those homes. It was a wonderful place to grow up, she said.Local artist Anthony Marraccini graduated from Easton Area High School in 1989, and for the past two years has lived at a home at Sixth and Ferry streets on the edge of the West Ward.Years ago, Easton’s downtown was more of a problem spot, Marraccini said, and the West Ward, while always working class, didn’t have such a bad reputation.Panto didn’t grow up in the West Ward, but he attended a West Ward school and played basketball as a youth there.It wasn’t perfect, he said, but people didn’t wave guns. Today, the housing vacancy rate is about 50 percent higher in the West Ward than in the rest of Easton, according to data from the U.S. Census Bureau. Families who live in the West Ward tend to make less money than their counterparts elsewhere in the city.Nearly half the properties in the West Ward are rentals, according to the survey. And many residents say one of the biggest problems the [url=http://www.radiorcs.com/page.php?sale=Wholesale-Jimmy-Choo]Cheap Jimmy Choo Shoes[/url] neighborhood faces is absentee landlords who let properties deteriorate or allow too many tenants to live in one spot.Panto said the violence commonly isn’t caused by residents of the West Ward. Rather, out-of-towners use the city’s proximity to Route 22 to zip into town, sell drugs and leave.Marraccini says the problems of the West Ward are part of the natural evolution of cities. I think it’s a combination of things, Marraccini said. The rise of suburbia. Gradual decline. You’re left with what you’re left with. Fighting ‘Sleaston’ Be good friends with your neighbors, Micki Katz told the crowd at the Easton Area Community Center on Monday night, even if they’re carrying guns. A few of the dozens of West Ward residents who’d poured into the Washington Street building chuckled.Katz, 72, lives on 13th Street.She says she sees people with weapons and drugs, and urban violence near her front stoop. I call it Sleaston, she quipped.Her survival tip: Treat your neighbors with kindness. They won’t shoot you then, she said.Holden and Sophia Feller, the West Ward Neighborhood Partnership’s urban agriculture coordinator, organized the meeting in the wake of the shootings. Holden said she wasn’t sure what to expect. But when she arrived at the community center around 7 p.m., a crowd had already formed at the door. West Warders of all stripes filled seats in the community room. There were veterans like Katz, [url=http://www.radiorcs.com/page.php?sale=Kate-Spade-Japan]Kate Spade Japan[/url] who seemed to have mastered a gallows humor about the neighborhood. Younger residents, artists who’d bought old row homes and cleaned them up, also joined in the discussion, mingling with the West Ward’s working class.The city sent its own retinue that included Panto, Administrator Glenn Steckman, Easton Police Chief Carl Scalzo and Captain Scott Casterline. We’re here to listen to you, Panto told the crowd.They discussed rebuilding the local neighborhood watch. Some residents talked about the need to install more porch lights to illuminate dark spots. Others talked about adding speed bumps to public thoroughfares (not legal, Panto said) or adding stop signs to every crossroads in the West Ward to slow traffic.Steckman told residents how to lodge complaints on the city’s website. Police officers talked about doing more to increase their visibility.

The U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration is requiring local governments to evaluate their bridges for new load ratings by Dec. 2017, to ensure that the structures can handle modern vehicles that are designed to haul heavier loads. Thurston County Public Works is about a third of the way through checking those [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/michaelkorssonline.php]Michael Kors uk[/url] weight limits on the 119 roadway bridges in its inventory, according to civil engineer Matt Unzelman.However, the county is going to hire an outside firm to do some of the inspections. The Board of County Commissioners voted 3-0 to hire Exeltech Consulting Inc. of Lacey to conduct that work on 10 structures, ranging from the Old Highway 101 Bridge to the Mud Bay Bridge. Some of our more structurally complex bridges are included with these 10 bridges, Unzelman told The Olympian. We just need a different level of expertise. The ratings will determine if the county needs to add a weight limits to some of its structures, he said.County manager Cliff Moore described the work as routine, but said it s an important long-term process for the county. Like most jurisdictions in the nation, we are trying to keep on this issue, he said. The money will come from the county s road fund, and will include the following structures. (Size and inspection information was listed in the county s 2014 Bridge Index.) James Road Bridge (culvert), known as J-1, which goes over an overflow channel, was built in 1985. The 25-foot-long structure was given a 98.19 sufficiency rating during an Aug. 8, 2012, inspection. Littlerock Road Bridge, known as L-5, which goes over a ditch, was built in 1960. The 20-foot-long bridge was given a 49.66 rating during a Nov. [url=http://www.symbiose.ca/images/christianlouboutin.gwij.php]Christian Louboutin Outlet[/url] 21, 2013 inspection. Crews made some emergency repairs on the bridge this spring for scour and cracking. It is just down the road and the same design as the L-4 Bridge which is undergoing a complete replacement due to structural deficiencies. Mud Bay Bridge, known as O-4, which goes over Mud Bay, was built in 1978. The 208-foot-long bridge was given a sufficiency rating of 77.02 during a Sept. 27, 2012 inspection. Old Highway 101 Bridge, known as O-3 which goes over Perry Creek, was built in 1958.The 105-foot-long bridge was given a sufficiency rating of 80.31 during a Sept. 14, 2012 inspection. Oyster Bay Culvert, known as OB-1, which goes over Schneider Creek, was built in 2010. The 20-foot-long bridge was given a sufficiency rating of 85.8 during a June 12, 2012, inspection. Steamboat Island Bridge, known as S-7, which goes over Totten Inlet, was built in 1982. [url=http://www.symbiose.ca/images/christianlouboutin.gwij.php]Christian Louboutin Outlet[/url] The 706-foot-long structure was given a sufficiency rating of 68.73 during a Sept. 14, 2012, inspection. Holmes Island Bridge, known as H-3, which goes over Long Lake and was built in 1962. The 53-foot-long bridge, and was given a sufficiency rating of 54.26 during an Aug. 7, 2013 inspection. Nisqually Cutoff Bridge, known as N-1, which goes over an overflow channel, was built in 1936. The 92-foot-long structure was given a 74.48 sufficiency rating during an Oct. 4, 2012 inspection. Old Pacific Highway Bridge, known as O-11, which goes over the Nisqually River was built in 1998. The 320-foot long structure was given a sufficiency rating of 95.38 during a Sept. 12, 2012 inspection. Reservation Road Railroad Bridge, known as R-1, goes over a railroad and was built in 1993. The 331-foot-long bridge was given a sufficiency rating of 94.49 during an Aug. 9, 2013 inspection.

I鈥檓 as a 鈥渇ast food in moderation鈥?guy. I think it鈥檚 irresponsible for parents to make Burger King or Popeye鈥檚 a daily part of their children鈥檚 diet. But I think it鈥檚 a ridiculous reaction for county supervisors to regulate the sale of Happy Meal toys. Legislators should work on educating the public, not doing the parenting for them.
With that said, I still think it鈥檚 shocking to see how much fast food drink cups have increased in size over the past 40 years. The cups in 1973 look like shot glasses compared to the two-fisted monstrosities being sold in 2014.
This is a core argument by the crowd that is supporting the current proposed soda taxes聽聽and Berkeley; that big corporations have super-sized empty calorie beverages to extremely unhealthy proportions. Last year, for a different and , I found the San Francisco Chronicle鈥檚 earliest photos of fast food restaurants in the Bay Area. They were taken in Mill Valley and San Anselmo in 1973, when Taco Bell, Jack in the Box and McDonald鈥檚 were making their first huge surge into the suburbs. Last weekend,聽I decided to venture out with my own kids and take a few 鈥渘ow鈥?photos.
I included every 1973 Chronicle fast food photo where the drinks can be clearly seen; I didn鈥檛 selectively pick images where the drinks looked small. Then I went to the three Alameda restaurants from the same chains with my kids, and made [url=http://www.museosangennaro.com/Public/wdluk.php]Cheap Christian Louboutin[/url] the following request to the cashiers at each one: 鈥淧lease give me exactly one drink in every size sold by this establishment.鈥?
The results are in the slideshow, above. A few more thoughts after this Jack in the Box photo 鈥?
Taco Bell drink cups in 1973, 2014.
* I brought the empty cups home and used a measuring cup to check the volume. The 2014 cups from three restaurants ranged between 12 ounces and 40 ounces. Jack in the Box鈥檚 cups ranged between 20 ounces to 40 ounces. (Based on the photos, I鈥檇 estimate the 1973 cups ranged between 8 ounces and 16 ounces.)
* After the size of the drinks, the second thing I noticed was how fit the people looked in the 1973 fast food photos. Even the ones that are clearly stoned and listening to 鈥淟ed Zeppelin III鈥?look like they could run an 8 minute mile. Understatement of the day: If you walked randomly into a McDonald鈥檚, Jack in the Box and Taco Bell in 2014, the people would not look as universally healthy as they did in 1973.
* I sprung this fast food excursion on my kids, who seemed suspicious. I take them to fast food maybe once every five or six weeks, and then only after they鈥檝e done something exceptional. Three in a day seemed unfathomable. Note to CPS: I did not allow them to drink 120 ounces of soda each. The smallest drinks were filled 1/3 of the way with root beer, except for McDonald鈥檚, where we filled only the smallest drink and shared it.
(Photo: Stephanie Maze/The Chronicle 1973)
* When I looked at the fast food menu prices in 1973 and 2014, the economic motivation for a drastic increase [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/gucciusaonlineoutlet.php]gucci outlet[/url] in drink size started to make more sense. Most drinks in 1973 cost 15 or 20 cents. In 2014, they cost about 10 times that much. Meanwhile, other menu items (cheeseburgers, tacos, etc.) have remained about the same size, and increased in cost by closer to three times. I know from working in food service that drinks have a very high profit margin. Creating a market with larger drinks (and larger corresponding prices) makes business sense, even if it comes at the expense of a healthy customer base.
* McDonald鈥檚 was the only restaurant of the three where the cashier offered us a 鈥渒id size鈥?drink. (Which at 12 ounces looked about as big as most adult-size containers in 1973, but was still by far the smallest cup that we received.) The cashier also asked if I wanted milk as an option for the kids. If other chains had a smaller size cup than the ones displayed [url=http://www.museosangennaro.com/Public/wdluk.php]Cheap Christian Louboutin[/url] in the photos, they didn鈥檛 think to offer it to me.
Which brings us to 鈥?

* I do not weep for the people who run McDonald鈥檚, and probably never will. But that restaurant chain shoulders an unbalanced brunt of the ire directed at the fast food industry. Of the five biggest fast food chains in the Bay Area, McDonald鈥檚 has by far developed the healthiest options in recent years for their kid and adult meals. (McDonald鈥檚 was also the only place I visited that had a composting option for our trash.)
And yet McDonald鈥檚 remain the poster child for unhealthy eating, while KFC and Jack in the Box sort of slink by quietly the in background, seemingly in an arms race to develop . McDonald鈥檚 may have the biggest historic role in the super-sizing of America. But the chain is no longer the worst.
One final note: A huge shout-out to former Chronicle photographer Stephanie Maze, whose tenure at the paper in the 1970s was shorter than some others, but she made her mark nonetheless. She always went the extra mile on otherwise routine assignments. (Her photos of the 1977 KISS concert at the Cow Palace .)
Stephanie went on to work for National Geographic, and published a series of books for young readers.

HOUSTON (September 9, 2014) Jacob Lee Bryant, 27, was charged with theft and credit card abuse after credit cards and cellphones were stolen from cheerleaders at the University of Houston’s new stadium, university police Lt. Bret Collier [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Belts-Sale-Stores-Designer-Handbags-Duffle.html]Gucci Stores[/url] said.
The thefts occurred on Aug. 28, a day before the university鈥檚 first game at the [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Handbags-Outlet-Used-Bags-Totes-Sale-Shoes.html]Gucci Sale Shoes[/url] new TDECU Stadium.
Bryant was working for an Aramark subcontractor.
The cellphones of five cheerleaders were stolen along with some credit cards.
The cards were used to purchase $80 in clothing at Walmart and a pack of cigarettes at a gas station, Collier said.
Bryant was held in the Harris County [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Sale-Online-Glasses-Frames-Sweaters-Handbag.html]Gucci Sweaters[/url] jail in lieu of $30,000 bond.

Krebs, who broke the story of the Target breach last year, said it appears the latest hack involves nearly all of Home Depot’s stores around the country. The Target breach impacted just shy of 1,800 stores, lasted for approximately three weeks and resulted [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Michael-Kors-Vanilla-Handbag]Michael Kors Vanilla Handbag[/url] in the theft of roughly 40 million debit and credit card numbers, he wrote.

Knox County Chief Deputy Sheriff Tim Carroll believes Laurita fell into the corral and hit his head on concrete. An autopsy conducted later Tuesday by the state medical examiner concluded that Laurita, 56, died from asphyxiation and multiple fractures resulting from compression [url=http://www.alportico.net/prodotti/christianlouboutin-sale.jkmsw.php]Christian Louboutin Sale[/url] of the chest, presumably because one of the giant mammals stepped on him.
It was not immediately clear Tuesday what would become of the Hope Elephants organization or the animals themselves in the wake of Laurita s death. The federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration has been called in to investigate, police said.
A man who was keeping media away from the facility Tuesday said there is another elephant handler on staff and that an emergency plan is in place to take care of the elephants.
The sheriff s department is still investigating, but has ruled Laurita s death an accident 鈥?one that rocked this rural town in the Camden Hills area of Knox County.
I had to send an email this morning to town officials and I almost didn t want to type the words, said Jon Duke, town administrator for Hope, a close-knit community of about 1,500 residents. It s hard to think of him in the past tense because he was so alive. He was such a force of nature.
A small, handmade sign at the entrance of Hope Elephants on Tuesday alerted would-be visitors that the facility was closed, without saying why.
A number of people gathered outside the large, wood-sided barn, but none wanted to talk. Bouquets of flowers began to appear near a fence in the afternoon. The elephants were not visible.
Jim s passion for all animals, but especially elephants, was boundless, Hope Elephants board of directors wrote on the company s website. It was Jim s ability (to) share that passion with all around him that not only helped to make our organization a reality, but also enriched and enhanced the lives of all those who had a chance to know Jim. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Laurita family. We ask that you respect their privacy during this difficult time.
Attempts Tuesday to reach Tom Laurita, Jim s brother and the chairman of the board of directors for Hope Elephants, were not successful.
Several townspeople at the Hope General Store also declined to talk to a Press Herald reporter. One woman said the news was still too raw.
The two brothers, originally from New York, joined the circus in the 1970s as a juggling duo. They toured the Midwest with Carson Barnes Circus.
Eventually, Tom graduated to ringmaster while Jim handled the elephants, including Rosie and Opal, both Asian elephants that [url=http://www.museosangennaro.com/Public/anel.php]Cheap Christian Louboutin Shoes[/url] were young circus performers at the time. The elephants are now in their 40s.
After leaving the circus life, Laurita got a veterinary degree from Cornell University and went on to work at the Bronx Zoo in New York City and at Wildlife Safari in Oregon, specializing in elephants. He moved his family to Maine two decades ago and opened a veterinary practice in Rockport.
When Laurita approached town officials a few years ago about bringing two retired elephants to his property on Hatchet Mountain Road, far away from the circus lights, the idea raised some concerns, Duke said.
There are some towns where people don t want chickens in their backyard, let alone an elephant, he said. But Jim convinced all his neighbors. He had a vision and he was committed to making it happen.
In 2011, Jim and Tom brought their old friends to Maine and founded their nonprofit, Hope Elephants, after raising more than $100,000 in donations from individuals and local small businesses.
The nonprofit s mission was two-fold: Laurita would care for the elephants and provide rehabilitation and therapy, and the facility would welcome school groups and others to raise awareness about the creatures, which are endangered. The International Union for Conservation of Nature estimates that there are about 50,000 living in the wild and 16,000 in captivity.
In 2011, Laurita told The Boston Globe that plans for the therapeutic facility for the elephants included acupuncture, as well as ultrasound, nutritional support for arthritis, and a water treadmill for high-resistance, low-impact exercise. The facility also has hosted school groups interested in learning about the animals.
The goal, Laurita said at the time, was to come up with new methods to treat arthritic animals. We re going to give (Rosie) the kind of therapy a racehorse would receive.
The facility drew criticism from animal rights groups. They called the center unsafe and inhumane, and said Maine s cold climate was [url=http://www.symbiose.ca/images/christianlouboutin.gwij.php]Christian Louboutin Outlet[/url] inappropriate for elephants.
They might think they re doing something kind for the elephant, but in truth they re not, Melissa Gates, founding director of Animal Rights Maine, told the Globe in 2011. It seems to us that they plan to continue to exploit this elephant.
The California-based group In Defense of Animals even got comedian Lily Tomlin to write a letter to Gov. Paul LePage opposing Laurita s plans.
But Laurita went through the regulatory process at the local, state and federal levels, and succeeded in bringing the elephants to Maine.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture s animal and plant health inspection division conducted its annual inspection of Hope Elephants in April and found the facility in compliance with federal regulations. Laurita s license for the two elephants was active.
Duke said Laurita always had the support of the town and that Hope Elephants has helped put the community on the map.
Anyone I talk to about Hope says, Oh, you re the elephant town, he said. They think I m up there wrangling elephants.
But that s all Jim. He was a great friend to a lot of people.

BOSTON (AP) — Nine-term incumbent U.S. Rep. John Tierney on Tuesday conceded defeat to political newcomer Seth Moulton in the Democratic primary in the state’s 6th Congressional District.Tierney would be the first sitting Massachusetts congressman to lose a primary since 1992, when former U.S. Rep. Marty Meehan beat then-incumbent Chester Atkins in the Democratic primary.Moulton, a former Marine and Iraq war veteran from Salem, would face Republican Richard Tisei in the November election. He ran a well-financed campaign in his bid to unseat Tierney and suggested the incumbent had been ineffective in Congress. By mid-August, Moulton had raised $1.6 million compared with the $1.9 million raised by Tierney.During much [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/clreplicashoes.php] Christian Louboutin Outlet Online[/url] of the primary Tierney had focused his attention on Tisei.Then, late in the primary, Tierney launched a campaign ad linking Moulton to Republicans who support gun rights and oppose abortion rights. The ad focused on money the Moulton campaign received from the White Mountain PAC, which is affiliated with former U.S. Sen. Judd Gregg, a New Hampshire Republican.Moulton said the ad showed that Tierney believed he was a serious challenger.Moulton has argued he would have a stronger chance of holding off Tisei, a former state senator who lost to Tierney by [url=http://www.museosangennaro.com/Public/anel.php] Christian Louboutin Shoes Outlet[/url] less than 1 percent of the vote in the 2012 election. Tierney had responded by saying he had beaten Tisei.Immigration attorney Marisa DeFranco and two other Democrats, John Gutta and John Patrick Devine, also were on the primary ballot.It was the second tough campaign for Tierney. In 2012, he was dogged by questions about what he knew of an illegal offshore gambling ring involving his wife’s family.Moulton, a 35-year-old businessman and Harvard graduate who enlisted in the Marines in 2001, described himself in a campaign ad as a “progressive Democrat who opposed the war in Iraq.”"But I also was a Marine serving my country,” Moulton said. “So I went, led my platoon and always ate last after my men.”During the campaign, Moulton expressed his opposition to another ground war in Iraq as President Barack Obama considers the nation’s options for fighting back against Islamic State militants.Moulton also backs abortion and gay rights, tighter restrictions on gun ownership and comprehensive immigration reform. About 8 percent of the district’s population served in the military, and about 15 percent are age 64 or older.During the primary, Moulton suggested that Tierney’s victory two years ago was due in part to the political coattails of Obama and consumer advocate Elizabeth Warren, who were on the ballot and helped draw Democrats to the polls. Warren [url=http://www.museosangennaro.com/Public/wdluk.php]Louboutin Shoes Outilet[/url] won a U.S. Senate seat against Republican Scott Brown.Tierney had rejected Moulton’s suggestion, arguing that he had the issues on his side.The general election could be equally hard fought.Republicans see the 6th Congressional District at their best chance to pick up a seat in Massachusetts.Tisei has already been the beneficiary of a $350,000 ad buy from the conservative U.S. Chamber of Commerce earlier in the year. The 30-second ad, which ran on TV and online in May, portrayed Tisei as “an independent voice for Massachusetts.” Copyright The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

Active-shooter drills have become ways that law enforcement, fire and school officials prepare for dealing with a gunman or mass shooting. But what can families and members of the general public do to be better prepare for the unthinkable? That s what officials plan to answer during two separate community forums slated for this week at Saint Martin s University in Lacey and South Puget Sound Community College in Olympia.The free events, titled Surviving an Active Shooter, are open to the public and organized by officials from Thurston County s local law enforcement agencies, fire departments, Medic One, three colleges and Homeland Security Region 3. We spend a lot of time in the emergency response [url=http://www.alportico.net/page.php?sale=Gucci-Underwear]Gucci Sale Online[/url] community preparing for these (types of situations), said Lacey Fire District 3 chief Steve Brooks. …We feel like the next important step is to help our community better prepare. The forums will include remarks by law enforcement and fire officials, a kid friendly video, a question-and-answer session for participants and refreshments. In addition, Thursday s event will mark the anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attack with a joint honor-guard presentation. We ll have a moment of silence and commemoration of our nation s tragedy, said Jesi Chapin, coordinator for Homeland Security Region 3.Chapin said active-shooter events are something families should talk about because having a plan in place and knowing when to run, hide or fight can save lives. Chapin and Brooks said [url=http://www.radiorcs.com/page.php?sale=Kate-Spade-Sunglasses-Polarized]Kate Spade Sunglasses Polarized[/url] the forums are needed because of incidents such as the Clackamas Town Center shooting outside Portland in December 2012, which killed three people; and the Aurora, Colorado, theater shooting in July 2012, which killed a dozen people and injured 58 others. We re really hoping to especially get families in there, to develop a plan on what to do, Chapin said.The forums are meant to increase public awareness on the issue, and precede a full-scale, active-shooter drill that will be held [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Tory-Burch-Sequin-Flats]Tory Burch Sequin Flats[/url] at South Puget Sound Community College in April, Chapin said.

ATLANTA (CNN) For four years, I dated a man who beat me.
The first time it happened it was around Christmas of my freshman year of college. I had known him a couple of months. He was the first guy I had ever had a physical relationship with, and I was madly in love.
But he had a dark side, a short fuse, and I was very vocal and told him what I thought. The problem was, instead of arguing with me, he just beat me up.
The episodes continued throughout our relationship. At one point, he actually put me in the hospital with a concussion, my face and body covered with cuts and bruises.
My friends begged me to leave him. His fraternity brothers did an intervention of sorts and told me he was a no-good, nasty SOB. But for some odd reason, which took hours of therapy to figure out years later, I just stayed with him.
It wasn t that I was unpopular or lonely. I had lots of friends, men and women. I was a good student, a leader on campus. I came from a loving home, with a father who never hit my mother, or me. But for years, I had a secret that only the closest of my friends knew about: I [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/guccioutlet.onlinesalecc.php]Gucci Shoes[/url] was an abused girlfriend.
According to the 2010 National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey, 32% of women are physically assaulted by a partner during their lifetime. I was one of them.
The question is, why did I stay?
The American Psychiatric Association says that women remain in abusive relationships for many reasons: lack of finances, poor self-esteem, children and even religious and cultural values. In my case, I felt I had done something wrong and deserved it.
It also might be because I was raised in a family where, and at a time when, sex was a little taboo.聽It was the 70s, and I was in school on a large rural campus. You just didn t do it unless you were married. So when I had sex at the age of 18 with this young man, I had pretty much made up my mind he was my future husband.
So I put up with it. There was a strange bond I had with him, because when he wasn t beating me up, he was very nice to me. He treated me well, sent me flowers, took me places. We laughed, had a great time together.
But periodically [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/guccioutlet.onlinesalecc.php]Gucci Shoes[/url] when we argued, he would just lash out with his fists. It was horrible. But what was even more horrible was that I blamed myself for mouthing off. I thought if only I could keep my opinions to myself, the beatings wouldn t happen anymore. How naive of me. How foolish.
The ironic part of this story is that he ended our relationship because I graduated from college and he didn t. He threw me out. I guess he was jealous.
He was definitely a jerk.
Six months after we broke up, I was coming home to my little apartment, carrying decorations for my first Christmas tree as a working woman, and I found him sitting on my doorstep. I have no idea how he found me.
He asked to take me to dinner so we could talk. I reluctantly went. While chatting over the meal, he said he wanted to come back and that he didn t realize how good he had it. I quickly answered back, I didn [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/clreplicashoes.php] Christian Louboutin Outlet Online[/url] t know how bad I had it, but now I do!
For once he didn t whack me. He got up and left me at the restaurant, never to see me again. I had to take a cab home.
As I sat in the back seat I felt a sense of relief, but also shame that I had let it go on so long. But I was no longer a victim: I was free. As I look back on it now, It was the best cab ride I ever took.

Sometime in August, California became the first state with more than 100,000 electric cars and plug-in hybrids on the road, according to an EV advocacy group.
That鈥檚 still a tiny fraction of all cars in the Golden State, where drivers bought 1.7 million light-duty vehicles last year alone. But considering that the current wave of electric cars didn鈥檛 hit the market until late 2010, EV fans say they鈥檙e pleased with [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/guccioutlet.onlinesalecc.php]Gucci Outlet[/url] the progress.
鈥淲e鈥檝e clearly gotten beyond the point where this is just a boutique item for enthusiasts,鈥?said Mary Nichols, chairwoman of the California Air Resources Board.

The board is a member of the , a public-private partnership that promotes electric transportation. The collaborative tracks EV sales in California with data from the Baum Associates market research firm as well as the Air Resources Board itself, which offers to Californians who buy electric cars or plug-in hybrids.
California accounts for roughly 40 percent of the nation鈥檚 electric vehicle sales, and those sales are accelerating. In 2012, Californians bought 6,197 pure electric cars 鈥?such as the Nissan Leaf and the Tesla Model S 鈥?and 14,701 plug-in hybrids, including the Chevy Volt. Last year, [url=http://www.alportico.net/prodotti/christianlouboutin-sale.jkmsw.php]Christian Louboutin Boots[/url] sales jumped to 21,963 electrics and 20,235 plug-in hybrids, according to the Polk research firm.
For the first 8 months of 2014, Californians bought 15,251 pure electric cars and 16,239 plug-in hybrids.
鈥淲e鈥檙e seeing customers come in to our dealers with some knowledge about hybrids, but they leave with a plug-in hybrid,鈥?said Mike Tinskey, director of sustainable business strategies for Ford Motor Co. The company introduced its C-Max Energi plug-in hybrid in 2012.
Electrics still represented just 1.3 percent of new car sales in California last year, while plug-in hybrids were 1.2 percent. But Nichols said the cars are common enough that potential buyers are becoming aware of them, used to them and willing [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/michaelkorssonline.php] michael kors sale[/url] to give them a try.
鈥淭he car companies have done their bit by building some wonderful, fast, sporty, attractive vehicles,鈥?she said. 鈥淐onsumers need to see them out on the road to understand the potential. This 100,000 mark is important because it means there鈥檚 enough of these cars on the road, in the parking lots, for people to see.鈥?

The BAA鈥檚 board of directors Saturday approved making the offer to Baylor, though the group鈥檚 president, Keith Starr, declined to discuss the terms of the proposed settlement.
鈥淚 want [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Sale-Online-Glasses-Frames-Sweaters-Handbag.html]Gucci Glasses Frames[/url] the university and their lawyers to be able to have the same deliberative process that we had in arriving at this proposal in the hopes that it will pass,鈥?Starr said. 鈥淚n terms of the details, I鈥檓 just going to let the lawyers handle this.鈥?
Starr said the announcement is meant to signal to BAA members and Baylor that the group still is actively working toward achieving a harmonious relationship with the university.
鈥淲e鈥檙e going to take one last chance at peace, that鈥檚 what we鈥檙e doing,鈥?Starr said.
Starr, who is not related to Baylor President Ken Starr, said the terms are different from conditions discussed by the BAA and regents this summer as the two sides sought a resolution to avoid going to court.
Baylor sued the alumni association in June to stop the group from using the university鈥檚 name and registered marks and is seeking to bar the group from continuing its alumni outreach activities.
Baylor moved to terminate its licensing rights with the BAA last fall after an attempt to merge the group鈥檚 operations with Baylor鈥檚 own alumni network activities failed to gain sufficient support from BAA members.
After those negotiations this summer failed to [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Discount-New-Drivers-Guccissima.html]Gucci Discount[/url] produce a resolution, the BAA filed a counterclaim last month seeking a judgment ordering Baylor to continue upholding its obligations under the official recognition agreement that established the association as the university鈥檚 official alumni organization.
The BAA also wants a ruling preventing the university from continuing with its Baylor Alumni Network, which BAA leaders have said was created in 2002 to thwart the alumni association鈥檚 activities.
Starr said the BAA鈥檚 attorneys have not yet sent the settlement terms to Baylor leaders, though he expects that will happen later this week. He did not know the deadline for Baylor to respond to the offer.
Starr said [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Handbags-Paolo-Tshirt-Ankle-Boots.html]Gucci Ankle Boots[/url] if the regents approve the settlement as written, it will be sent to the BAA鈥檚 full membership for a vote to go into effect. If the regents reject the offer, Starr said the BAA is prepared to continue with the litigation.
Baylor spokeswoman Lori Fogleman said in a statement that the university was not aware of any terms of the proposed settlement.
鈥淭here is no question that Baylor is firing on every cylinder, and alumni worldwide are coming alongside the university in record numbers and in a multitude of ways to help fuel the upward trajectory of their alma mater,鈥?Fogleman said. 鈥淲e look forward to receiving the proposal, and we hope that it reflects the sentiment of the majority of Baylor alumni who are actively partnering with the university in this period of unparalleled progress.鈥?

An outbreak of a rare respiratory virus continues to sicken children in the St. Louis area, causing heavy traffic in emergency rooms and intensive care units.Nearly 800 kids have tested positive for a respiratory rhinovirus or enterovirus at St. Louis Children鈥檚 Hospital this year, most since [url=http://www.alportico.net/prodotti/christianlouboutin-sale.jkmsw.php]Christian Louboutin Sale[/url] the beginning of August. The hospital lab鈥檚 more detailed testing on a sampling of specimens turned up the specific strain enterovirus 68, a rare virus that can cause severe symptoms in children, including coughing, wheezing and fever.Hospitals with similar outbreaks in Kansas City and Chicago last month sent specimens to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which determined that most of the illnesses there were also caused by enterovirus 68. More than half of the sickened children had a history of asthma or wheezing. So far, hospitals in 12 Midwestern states, including Missouri and Illinois, have reached out to the CDC for help in identifying the virus.鈥淚t isn鈥檛 a new virus but it is fairly uncommon, and we don鈥檛 know as much about it,鈥?said Dr. Anne Schuchat, director of the CDC鈥檚 national center for immunization and respiratory diseases, in a conference call Monday with reporters. 鈥淚t鈥檚 too early to say how long it will go, how widespread it will be.鈥滵isease investigators at the CDC said the situation is evolving, and they don鈥檛 know how many people have been infected. State health departments in Missouri and Illinois have issued health alerts to warn doctors of potential illnesses.The number of cases declined in the first week of September at St. Louis Children鈥檚, which had 154 positive tests of rhinoviruses and enteroviruses last week, compared to more than 180 in the last week of August. There were about 70 cases in early September last year.Dr. Gary Albers, co-director of the asthma center at Cardinal Glennon Children鈥檚 Medical Center, said the hospital has stayed very busy, with a 50 percent increase in emergency room volume compared to the average for this time of year.鈥淭he day-to-day admissions have been a little more variable but overall the numbers seem to be staying up,鈥?Albers said. 鈥淲e have no pattern right now to suggest that we鈥檙e past the peak.鈥漈here are hundreds of types of enteroviruses and rhinoviruses, including the common cold. The illnesses can cause fever and rash as [url=http://www.symbiose.ca/images/christianlouboutin.gwij.php]Christian Louboutin Sale[/url] well as respiratory symptoms. Most adults have mild or no symptoms, but the illness can be more serious in infants, children and [url=http://www.symbiose.ca/images/christianlouboutin.gwij.php]Christian Louboutin Outlet[/url] teenagers. In rare cases of enteroviruses, neurological complications including meningitis and paralysis can develop. There have been no deaths reported in the latest outbreak.Disease experts believe enterovirus 68 is spread through contact with saliva and mucus from an infected person. There is no vaccine or specific treatment for the virus. Some of the children who have been hospitalized have required ventilators to help them breathe, while others have been successfully treated with oxygen and asthma medications.The virus does not seem to be infecting adults, and the country has not seen an overall uptick in health care visits for flu-related symptoms. Health officials recommend good hand-washing habits and coughing or sneezing into the elbow as preventive measures. Children with asthma should continue taking their medications. There are other less serious respiratory viruses circulating in the area, but if a child has trouble breathing, parents should seek medical attention.鈥淭his can be a scary thing to hear about for parents, (but) most of the runny noses out there are not going to be turning into this,鈥?said Schuchat of the CDC.

WASHINGTON (September 8, 2014) Many people newly covered by Medicaid under the federal health law are seeking treatment in hospital emergency rooms, one of the [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Outlet-Sunglasses-Cheap-Mens-Wallets-White-Sunglasses.html]White Gucci Sunglasses[/url] most expensive settings for health care, according to an analysis that the Colorado Hospital Association released Monday.
The analysis, which a real-time glimpse at how the nation’s newest social program is working, also found signs that newly insured Medicaid patients admitted to hospitals may be sicker than [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Sale-Online-Robe-Discount-Cheap-Bag.html]Gucci Robe[/url] patients previously covered by the program, which serves more than 60 million low-income and disabled people.
Taxpayers could save millions of dollars if newly insured Medicaid patients with routine needs are steered to community health centers [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Belts-Online-Gold-Watch-Black-Purse-Bags.html]Gucci Bags[/url] or urgent care clinics, not service-intensive emergency rooms.

Corden a multi-faceted performer, host, writer and producer with accomplishments that span television, theater, film and comedy will take the reins of the daily late night show in 2015.

He is a Tony Award-winning performer on Broadway, a BAFTA-winning star of a UK television series, a feature film actor with two releases this year, and an acclaimed host, writer and producer in several genres of television.
Currently, Corden is starring opposite Keira Knightley and Mark Ruffalo in “Begin Again,” which is in theaters now, and will star opposite Meryl Streep, Johnny Depp and Emily Blunt in the highly anticipated feature film “Into the Woods,” which hits theaters in December. Additionally, Corden hosts the BAFTA Award-winning UK sports-themed comedy game show “A League of Their Own” on Sky 1 and stars in, produces and writes the BAFTA nominated comedy thriller “The Wrong Mans,” which is available on Hulu and airs on the BBC.
“James Corden is a rare entertainment force who combines irresistible charm, warmth and originality with a diverse range of creative instincts and performance talent,” said Nina Tassler, Chairman, CBS Entertainment. “He is the ultimate multi-hyphenate a writer, creator and performer who is loved and respected in every medium he touches, including theater, comedy, music, film and television. James is already a big star in the UK and he’s wowed American audiences on Broadway; we’re very excited to introduce his considerable and very unique talents to our network television audience on a daily basis.”
“I can’t describe how thrilled and honoured I am to be taking over from the brilliant Craig Ferguson,” said Corden. “To be asked to host such a prestigious show on America’s #1 network is hugely exciting. I can’t wait to get started, and will do my very best to make a show America will enjoy.”
Outside of his native England, James Corden attracted international attention as the lead in the hit comedic play “One Man, Two Guvnors,” performing first in the National Theatre and the West End in London and then on Broadway, which earned him the 2012 Tony Award for Best Leading Actor in a Play. His additional theater credits include the worldwide tour of “The History Boys” in the role of Timms, which he also played in the feature film adaptation.

Prior to that, Corden starred in the British television series “Fat Friends” from 2000 to 2005, which earned him a nomination for the 2000 Royal Television Society Award for Network Newcomer On Screen. He also had a recurring role in the popular BBC science fiction series “Doctor Who” as Craig Owens, the Doctor’s roommate. In addition, Corden hosted the Brit Awards, the biggest event in the British music industry, from 2010 to 2014.
Over the course of his career, Corden has been awarded the Royal Television Society Award for Comedy Writer [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Outlet-Watch-Men-Womens-Sunglasses-Crossbody-Bag.html]Gucci Crossbody Bag[/url] of the Year for his work on “The Wrong Mans,” the Writers’ Guild of Great Britain Award for Comedy Writer of the Year, the South Bank Show Award for Comedy, the Tric Award for Best Comedy and the National Television Award in 2010 for Best Comedy.
Corden’s additional film credits include “How to Lose Friends and Alienate People,” with Jeff Bridges; “Gulliver’s Travels,” with Jack Black; and “The Three Musketeers,” with Orlando Bloom.
THE LATE LATE SHOW with JAMES CORDEN will be produced by CBS. The creative elements, as well as the producers and the location for the Corden-hosted LATE LATE SHOW, will be determined and announced at a later date.
Corden succeeds Craig Ferguson, the critically acclaimed host of the CBS late night series for the past 10 years. Ferguson announced his intention to leave the show during his April 28 broadcast, and will sign off in December 2014.
THE LATE LATE SHOW is broadcast weeknights on the CBS Television Network from 12:37 AM-1:37 AM, ET/PT.

DETROIT (AP) — Detroit has reached a tentative deal to pay a key creditor 26 cents on the dollar, a move that that could clear the biggest hurdle in the city’s plan to reduce its debts and emerge from bankruptcy protection, it was announced Tuesday night.A joint court filing Tuesday evening said that Detroit and the bond insurer Syncora Guarantee “have reached an agreement in principle” to settle the company’s $400 million claim in the nation’s largest-ever municipal bankruptcy case.Syncora spokesman Steven Schlein told The Associated Press the company would get 26 percent of what it’s owed.The two sides said they need two days to complete the deal and ask Judge Steven Rhodes for a postponement of the bankruptcy case trial until Friday.”If this agreement is finalized within this time period as we expect, it will profoundly alter the course of the proceeding and the litigation plan of the remaining parties,” the filing said.Syncora attorney James Sprayregen told the AP [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/gucciusaonlineoutlet.php] cheap gucci[/url] that the postponement request was “so that we can work through certain contingencies contained in the deal, including obtaining full resolution with Bank of America, UBS and other stakeholders.”"We are hopeful the deal will be finalized in the next 48 hours,” Sprayregen said.In response to a question from the judge last week, another Syncora lawyer had told the judge that [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/gucciusaonlineoutlet.php] cheap gucci[/url] he thought Detroit could afford to pay 75 cents on the dollar.Syncora Guarantee and fellow bond insurer Financial Guaranty Insurance Co. have been leading a small group of creditors fighting the plan by state-appointed emergency manager Kevyn Orr.The Associated Press left a message Tuesday night seeking comment from Orr spokesman Bill Nowling.Most creditors, including about 30,000 retirees and city employees, have endorsed Detroit’s plan to cut $12 billion in unsecured debt to about $5 billion.Syncora has strongly opposed the terms, saying that Detroit’s blueprint unfairly discriminated against financial creditors. Syncora and some other creditors have pushed for the city to look into the sale of assets, including city-owned pieces in the Detroit Institute of Arts.The threat to artwork prompted the creation of the so-called Grand Bargain — commitments from the state, major corporations, foundations and others to donate more than $800 million over 20 years meant to soften cuts to city pensions while placing pieces in the DIA into a trust and out of the reach of debtor demands.Pensioners this summer voted in favor of Orr’s plan, which calls for general retirees to take a 4.5 percent pension cut and lose annual inflation adjustments. Retired police officers and firefighters would lose a portion of their annual cost-of-living raise.For decades, Detroit paid its bills by borrowing money while struggling to provide the most basic of services for residents. The city, once fueled by the massive auto industry it gave birth to, shrank from 1.8 million [url=http://www.museosangennaro.com/Public/anel.php]Cheap Christian Louboutin Shoes[/url] people six decades ago to fewer than 700,000 now.The trial that began Sept. 2 is to help Rhodes determine whether to approve, modify or reject the city’s financial reorganization plan.___Follow David N.

Absent des parquets depuis plus d’un an et demi, certains observateurs pensent que Jason Richardson ne sera plus en mesure de jouer [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Outlet-Online-Duffle-Bag-Mens-Watch-Mens-Watch.html]Gucci Outlet Online[/url] en NBA.
Jason Richardson faisait partie du package lors du transfert d Andrew Bynum vers les Sixers, au moment au Dwight Howard a 茅t茅 envoy茅 du c么t茅 des Lakers.
J-Rich est connu pour 锚tre un joueur port茅 sur l attaque, avec une bonne adresse et un go没t prononc茅 pour le dunk, mais lors de la saison 2012-2013, pour sa premi猫re sous les couleurs de Philadelphie, Jason Richardson n a pu jouer que 33 matchs avant sa tr猫s grave blessure au genou en janvier 2013. Attendu au milieu de la saison derni猫re, Richardson n a jamais pu reprendre la comp茅tition et laisse une feuille 2012-2013 triste par rapport 脿 ses standards avec 10,5 points (40%, 34% 脿 3pts), 3,8 rebonds et 1,5 passe en 28 minutes de jeu.
Richardson est encore sous contrat avec les 76ers jusqu 脿 la saison prochaine, mais ESPN ne pense pas que l arri猫re de 33 ans sera en mesure de jouer le haut niveau de la NBA. Non seulement il est loin de retrouver les jambes de ses 20 ans et Richardson ne sera qu un pr茅texte financier, utile [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Sale-Swimsuit-Baby-Bags-Sale.html]Gucci Baby Bags[/url] pour les franchises qui cherchent 脿 lib茅rer de la masse salariale pour les ann茅es 脿 venir.

Est-ce que les 76ers vont profiter de son exp茅rience pour la saison prochaine ou l envoyer ailleurs pour faire encore un peu plus de places dans les comptes de la franchise ?

I鈥檓 as a 鈥渇ast food in moderation鈥?guy. I think it鈥檚 irresponsible for parents to make Burger King or Popeye鈥檚 a daily part of their children鈥檚 diet. But I think it鈥檚 a ridiculous reaction for county supervisors to regulate the sale of Happy Meal toys. Legislators should work on educating the public, not doing the parenting for them.
With that said, I still think it鈥檚 shocking to see how much fast food drink cups have increased in size over the past 40 years. The cups in 1973 look like shot glasses compared to the two-fisted monstrosities being sold in 2014.
This is a core argument by the crowd that is supporting the current proposed soda taxes聽聽and Berkeley; that big corporations have super-sized empty calorie beverages to extremely unhealthy proportions. Last year, for a different and , I found the San Francisco Chronicle鈥檚 earliest photos of fast food restaurants in the Bay Area. They were taken in Mill Valley and San Anselmo in 1973, when Taco Bell, Jack in the Box and McDonald鈥檚 were making their first huge surge into the suburbs. Last weekend,聽I decided to venture out with my own kids and take a few 鈥渘ow鈥?photos.
I included every 1973 Chronicle fast food photo where the drinks can be clearly seen; I didn鈥檛 selectively pick images where the drinks looked small. Then I went to the three Alameda restaurants from the same chains with my kids, and made [url=http://www.museosangennaro.com/Public/wdluk.php]Christian Louboutin Shoes Sale[/url] the following request to the cashiers at each one: 鈥淧lease give me exactly one drink in every size sold by this establishment.鈥?
The results are in the slideshow, above. A few more thoughts after this Jack in the Box photo 鈥?

* I brought the empty cups home and used a measuring cup to check the volume. The 2014 cups from three restaurants ranged between 12 ounces and 40 ounces. Jack in the Box鈥檚 cups ranged between 20 ounces to 40 ounces. (Based on the photos, I鈥檇 estimate the 1973 cups ranged between 8 ounces and 16 ounces.)
* After the size of the drinks, the second thing I noticed was how fit the people looked in the 1973 fast food photos. Even the ones that are clearly stoned and listening to 鈥淟ed Zeppelin III鈥?look like they could run an 8 minute mile. Understatement of the day: If you walked randomly into a McDonald鈥檚, Jack in the Box and Taco Bell in 2014, the people would not look as universally healthy as they did in 1973.
* I sprung this fast food excursion on my kids, who seemed suspicious. I take them to fast food maybe once every five or six weeks, and then only after they鈥檝e done something exceptional. Three in a day seemed unfathomable. Note to CPS: I did not allow them to drink 120 ounces of soda each. The smallest drinks were filled 1/3 of the way with root beer, except for McDonald鈥檚, where we filled only the smallest drink and shared it.

* When I looked at the fast food menu prices in 1973 and 2014, the economic motivation for a drastic increase [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/guccioutlet.onlinesalecc.php]Gucci Outlet Store[/url] in drink size started to make more sense. Most drinks in 1973 cost 15 or 20 cents. In 2014, they cost about 10 times that much. Meanwhile, other menu items (cheeseburgers, tacos, etc.) have remained about the same size, and increased in cost by closer to three times. I know from working in food service that drinks have a very high profit margin. Creating a market with larger drinks (and larger corresponding prices) makes business sense, even if it comes at the expense of a healthy customer base.
* McDonald鈥檚 was the only restaurant of the three where the cashier offered us a 鈥渒id size鈥?drink. (Which at 12 ounces looked about as big as most adult-size containers in 1973, but was still by far the smallest cup that we received.) The cashier also asked if I wanted milk as an option for the kids. If other chains had a smaller size cup than the ones displayed [url=http://www.museosangennaro.com/Public/anel.php] Christian Louboutin Shoes Outlet[/url] in the photos, they didn鈥檛 think to offer it to me.
Which brings us to 鈥?
(Photo: Stephanie Maze/The Chronicle 1973)
* I do not weep for the people who run McDonald鈥檚, and probably never will. But that restaurant chain shoulders an unbalanced brunt of the ire directed at the fast food industry. Of the five biggest fast food chains in the Bay Area, McDonald鈥檚 has by far developed the healthiest options in recent years for their kid and adult meals. (McDonald鈥檚 was also the only place I visited that had a composting option for our trash.)
And yet McDonald鈥檚 remain the poster child for unhealthy eating, while KFC and Jack in the Box sort of slink by quietly the in background, seemingly in an arms race to develop . McDonald鈥檚 may have the biggest historic role in the super-sizing of America. But the chain is no longer the worst.
One final note: A huge shout-out to former Chronicle photographer Stephanie Maze, whose tenure at the paper in the 1970s was shorter than some others, but she made her mark nonetheless. She always went the extra mile on otherwise routine assignments. (Her photos of the 1977 KISS concert at the Cow Palace .)
Stephanie went on to work for National Geographic, and published a series of books for young readers.

Can anyone doubt that Los Angeles Kings defenseman Alec Martinez earned his Day with the Cup? After all, he scored the game winning goal both in the Conference Finals and the actual Stanley Cup Finals both in overtime, by the way.
Let s start by reliving those two goals.
Alec Martinez s Game Winners
For (yet another) [url=http://www.alportico.net/page.php?sale=Gucci-Aviator]Gucci Aviator[/url] Game 7, the LA Kings faced the defending Stanley Cup champs, the Chicago Blackhawks. Not only was it the Kings third Game 7 of the playoffs, the game went into overtime.
The score was 4-4. Even though Los Angeles are puck-possession, well, kings, these were the reigning champs. Play went back and forth. Then, a quarter of the way through overtime, play entered the Blackhawks zone. The puck came to Martinez, and he lobbed it toward Chicago goalie Corey Crawford.
It went in. It bounced off defenseman Nick Leddy and careened past Crawford. Crawford slumped. The crowd in Chicago s United Center growled in disappointment. No matter, third-line defenseman Alec Martinez had .
Surely it was a fluke, right? This was no superstar Drew Doughty. This was Alec Martinez, a player with some of the lowest minutes on the team.
It was no fluke. The Kings didn t take it to seven games with the New York Rangers at a certain point even the Energizer Bunny Kings get weary. They solved the Rangers in five.
And Alec Martinez , future Hall of Famer Henrik Lundqvist.
To Lundqvist s credit, he was a superb goalie that night. He made 48 saves 32 of them from the third period on. No, you can t lay the blame at Lundqvist s feet.
You can lay it at Martinez s feet, though. The game didn t just go into overtime, it went into double overtime.
Late in the second overtime, Kings goalie Jonathan Quick made a key save. Play moved up the ice, a 3-on-2, and Martinez was part of the action. Kings forward Tyler Toffoli he of the Whoo-hoo to his father on live TV shot the puck. Lundqvist made the save, but the rebound came [url=http://www.alportico.net/page.php?sale=Men-Gucci-Shirts]Men Gucci Shirts[/url] right to Martinez s stick.聽 Lundqvist was on the far side of the net, leaving wide open space for Martinez.
And he buried it in. The crowd at the LA Staples Center went delirious. Martinez went delirious he lost a few seconds:
I blacked out. I tossed my gear, the guys jumped in, and I couldn鈥檛 breathe for a while. It鈥檚 a surreal moment.
Surreal or not, thanks to Alec Martinez s overtime goal, the Kings had won the Stanley Cup.
Alec Martinez s Day With the Cup
Alec Martinez is the last amongst players and coaches to receive his Day with the Cup. No reason why everyone else got to go before him maybe they saved the best for last. Indeed, the Cup will visit vice president and Kings legend Luc Robitaille absolute last.
In any case, Martinez received the Stanley Cup around 10:30 am on Monday, August 25, at his home in Allen, Texas. According to and the player s own tweets, he and a group of family and friends had lunch at a nearby driving range NHL players do love their golf in the off-season. Later he held a Stanley Cup party at his newly-purchased home, then everyone went out for dinner at an area restaurant. At some point in all the festivities Martinez filled the Cup with Fruit Loops. And that was Martinez s chill Day with the Cup.
One question going into the 2014-15 season is how big a role Martinez will take [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Tory-Burch-Beach-Tote-Sale]Tory Burch Beach Tote Sale[/url] on with the Kings. Even before his playoff heroics, he had started becoming a valuable asset on the LA blueline. Come training camp time, Alec Martinez could very well prove worthy of top-4 playing time. And that will give the LA Kings a formidable defensive corps indeed.
Regardless, will always be remembered as the quiet defenseman who proved to be the clutchiest of all clutch players.

WASHINGTON Tests of pilots killed in plane crashes over more than two decades show an increasing use of both legal and illegal drugs, including some that could impair flying, according to a study released Tuesday by the National Transportation Safety Board.The study examined toxicology reports for almost 6,700 pilots killed in crashes from 1990 to 2012. Not only did the share of pilots testing positive for a drug increase over that period, but the share of pilots who tested positive for multiple drugs increased as well. Pilots testing [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Louboutin-Shoes-Uk]Christian Louboutin Outlet Online[/url] positive for at least one drug increased from 9.6 percent to 39 percent, while positive tests for two drugs rose from 2 percent to 20 percent and three drugs from zero to 8.3 percent.Over the same period, new drugs were coming into use and the U.S. population was aging, creating greater demand for drugs. The toxicology tests “reflect tends in the general population and likely indicate a significant increase in drug use” by pilots as well, the study said.However, the share of accidents the board has investigated in which impairment from a drug was found to be a factor hasn’t increased appreciably, the report said. Since 1990, the NTSB has cited pilot impairment due to drugs as a cause or a contributing factor in about 3 percent of fatal civil aviation accidents.Acting NTSB Chairman Chris Hart said the board “is concerned about possible safety implications of increased drug use in all modes of transportation.” He called the report “an important first step toward understanding those implications.”Dr. Mary Pat McKay, the board’s chief medical officer, said the study was limited to aviation because similarly comprehensive drug test data doesn’t exist for fatal highway, rail and maritime accidents. But it’s likely there are similar trends in those modes as well, she said.The board also voted to issue a safety alert to pilots, warning of the risk of impairment from many over-the-counter drugs. The board issued several recommendations to the Federal Aviation [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Navy-Tory-Burch-Flats]Navy Tory Burch Flats[/url] Administration and state governments aimed at better communication of drug risks to pilots and operators in all transportation modes.More than 9 out of 10 of the pilots tested were private rather than commercial pilots, and 98 percent were male. The average age of pilots killed also increased markedly, from 46 years old in 1990 to 57 in 2012. The average age of pilots killed was 5 to 15 years older than the general population of active pilots.The tests also revealed increased pilot use of all kinds of drugs, including drugs that could impair a pilot’s functioning as well as drugs used to treat potentially impairing conditions such as seizure disorders and psychiatric illness.The most common drug found in the tests was an antihistamine that causes drowsiness and is a key ingredient in many over-the-counter medications for [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Tory-Burch-Mini-Bag]Tory Burch Flats Cheap[/url] allergies, colds and sleep. Sedating antihistamines in general were found in 9.9 percent of pilots tested during the last five years studied, up from 2.1 percent of the cases during the early years examined.The share of pilots testing positive for illegal drugs was small, but increased from 2.3 percent to 3.8 percent. The study attributed the increase mostly to greater marijuana use in the last 10 years.A statement by the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association, which represents private pilots, called the NTSB study incomplete and said its results “should be regarded with caution.”"There are just far too many gaps and unknowns in the study for us to be able to draw any meaningful conclusions about aviation safety,” said Mark Baker, the association’s president.

SAN DIEGO After all of the talk, projections, and injuries聽of the preseason, the聽San Diego Chargers season has officially arrived with an intriguing game against the Arizona Cardinals.聽
Although this is just a Week 1 matchup, primetime Monday Night Football is always something special.聽
Well, I think (the players) are anxiously waiting Monday night, head coach said at practice Friday. You know, we ve had a great training camp, good offseason program and everything.
All the hard work that the players and coaches and the whole entire organization have put in to get to this point in time. So now you know it s time to go play a game. 聽
The Cardinals are coming off a 10-6 2013 season, but failed to reach the NFC Playoffs. Meanwhile, the Chargers are coming off another postseason disappointment at the hands of [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Barbie-Louboutin]Barbie Louboutin[/url] 聽hated rival Denver Broncos.
In many ways, though, these two teams share a great number of similarities.
Both have veteran quarterbacks who are established, successful聽players in the NFL. 聽Both have incredible offensive arsenals at their disposal and 聽have defenses that聽can make big plays.
While it s not a secret that the Cardinals had the number one rush defense last season, only conceding 84.4 yards per game, the loss of will prove costly. Especially against the dynamic rushing attack San Diego possesses.
And although Arizona possesses one of the better secondaries in the league, they are going to have their hands full. The running game is always a key for the Chargers in any game, but this season is where their passing game can take that next step.
With two veterans in and ,聽and two upcoming stars in and [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Cheap-Louboutin-Heels]Cheap Louboutin Heels[/url] this offense on paper should be in the top-5 in 2014. No matter what coverage聽Arizona has on the field, one of these offensive weapons聽will create enough space for to work effectively down the field.聽
The question for San Diego is its defense. It does not have the depth it needs to be dominant. While a healthy and will [url=http://www.alportico.net/page.php?sale=True-Religion-Jeans-Outlet-Sawgrass]True Religion Jeans Outlet Sawgrass[/url] complement a solid defense line, the secondary still needs to validate its promise.
The addition of Pro Bowl cornerback , along with their first-round draft pick Jason Verrett will upgrade their dismal 29th-ranked pass defense from last year. That being said, both players are still adapting to the system. Considering they will line up聽against and , they may have a tough time.聽
In the end, however, San Diego has too many great offensive weapons. Also with the likelihood of starting Cardinals running back not playing will help the Chargers take the season opener, 31-21.

鈥淪ince narcissists believe their status increases when they are associated with other special or high-status people, posting pictures of desirable friends may give narcissists a means of bolstering their egos,鈥?psychologist Shawn Bergman and collaborators wrote in a 2010 paper on the subject.
The Ice Bucket Challenge is a narcissist鈥檚 bonanza. You get to show yourself doing something marginally daring. Everybody will see how fit, handsome or witty you are 鈥?and how altruistic! Though the original deal was to donate to the ALS Association or pour a bucket of ice water over one鈥檚 head, people have [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Handbags-Silk-Scarf-London-Wholesale.html]Cheap Gucci Handbags[/url] typically done both and made no secret of it.

There鈥檚 Bill Gates, who probably didn鈥檛 need the extra publicity or attention to his charity work but still built an elaborate contraption to douse himself, probably figuring he could up the ante in the ALS collection drive. There鈥檚 also Justin Bieber, who showed off his body and nominated all his fans and President Obama to upend those buckets.
There鈥檚 safety in crowds. If you鈥檙e bragging about doing something lots of others 鈥?and all those important people 鈥?are doing, you鈥檙e not really boasting. You鈥檙e showing that you fit in with the right bunch of people.

Trademarking?
The Ice Bucket Challenge provides the perfect context: You don鈥檛 talk about giving money to fight Lou Gehrig鈥檚 disease.

Fowler says the patrol officer located level-three sex offender Eric Wyatt and took him back into custody Tuesday morning. Wyatt was reportedly off his medication and is considered at high risk to re-offend.
Detective Fowler commended the officer on recognizing Wyatt from the bulletin.
“We are flooded with bulletins, as many as 20 a day, and to be able to see a face and recognize a face and then match it and put [url=http://www.alportico.net/prodotti/christianlouboutin-sale.jkmsw.php]Christian Louboutin Heels[/url] it together, it just takes good work and a keen eye.”
So far, they haven’t had any reports of crimes connected to Wyatt while he was on the lam.

TROY, MO.聽鈥?The championship game of the eighth annual Troy Lead-off Tournament Saturday was a game of momentum swings.Good thing for the host Trojans that they had the last big shift in earning a 11-7 win over Fort Zumwalt North in the title contest.鈥淲e’re just an overall positive team and we try to keep each other up,鈥?Troy senior outfielder Bri Livingston said. 鈥淲e have seven seniors on the team and that senior leadership is important.鈥滱fter jumping out to a six-run [url=http://www.museosangennaro.com/Public/wdluk.php]Louboutin Shoes Outilet[/url] lead and then giving it all back, Troy (7-1, No. 6 in the STLhighschoolsports.com large-school softball rankings) scored five of the game’s final six runs to earn the win.The difference-making inning was the sixth in which Troy sent eight hitters to the plate and scored four times. The biggest hits were a pair of RBI doubles from Livingston and Alyssa Rivera to help put the game out of reach.鈥淚t’s just good to know that I have my teammates behind me, supporting me and not putting too much pressure on me鈥?said Livingston, who was 4-for-4 with two doubles [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/guccioutlet.onlinesalecc.php]Gucci Shoes[/url] and two RBI. 鈥淪o, I’m just up there very relaxed.鈥滲oth Troy and Zumwalt North (7-2, No. 4 LS) scored single tallies between the bottom of the sixth (North) and top of the seventh (Troy) to close out the scoring.Prior to that, the sides took turns ripping off six successive runs.Troy scored four runs in the first, with Rivera providing a two-run single to account for the heavy lifting and the Trojans added two more in the third on Zumwalt North errors.鈥淲e know we can hit anybody,鈥?Troy coach Lance Richardson said. 鈥淲e go out there and we bend, but we just don’t break.鈥漐umwalt North answered with six runs of its own as the Panthers tallied four in the fourth inning and two more in the fifth.In the fourth, seven North hitters came to the plate and the Panthers got a bases-loaded double to right center from Niki Swafford.鈥淲e made a lot of mistakes today that we don’t usually make,鈥?Zumwalt North coach Steve Siebert said. 鈥淢entally, coming back and fighting, that’s what these girls have done all season. I’m proud of them for that.鈥滺aley Rotert earned the win in relief for Troy. Shelby Clark suffered the loss for North.Clark said that the Trojans not recording a 1-2-3 inning until the seventh was something less than desirable.鈥淚t was frustrating,鈥?Rotert said. 鈥淭hat’s how it turns out sometimes, I guess. It (the win) was the thing we wanted, though. We got it.鈥滾ivingston added that the championship, which included wins [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/michaelkorssonline.php]Michael Kors uk[/url] over Winfield, Warrenton and Highland, Mo., was big.鈥淲e won this for four years before finishing third last year,鈥?Livingston said. 鈥淚t was important to us to get this title back and we did it.鈥滻n the third place game, Lafayette downed Highland, Mo., 8-5.”We had a lot of great things today,” Lafayette coach Scott DeNoyer said. “We moved people around and put people in different situations. Overall, I’m very pleased with how things went.”

MILWAUKEE (WITI) A respiratory virus has sent hundreds of children to hospitals, and it s causing alarm across the Midwest and beyond. Ten states have contacted the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for help investigating clusters of the virus that鈥檚 being blamed for the illness.
Health officials say they鈥檙e still working to figure out what鈥檚 going on.
The bug that appears to be causing most of the concern has a typically arcane name 鈥?Enterovirus EV-D68 鈥?but many of its symptoms are very common.
Enteroviruses, which bring on symptoms like a very intense cold, aren鈥檛 unusual. They鈥檙e actually very common.
When you have a bad summer cold, often what you have is an enterovirus, said Mark Pallansch, a virologist and director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention鈥檚 Division of Viral Diseases.
There are more than 100 types of enteroviruses causing about 10 to 15 million infections in the United States each year, according to the CDC. They are carried in the intestinal tract and often spread to other parts of the body.
The season often hits its peak in September, as summer ends and fall begins.
So why all the concern now?聽What鈥檚 unusual at the moment is the high number of hospitalizations.
There aren t any cases in Wisconsin currently, [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Belts-Online-Men-Discount-Jackie.html]Gucci Belts Online[/url] but there s concern we could see cases here in the near future.
In Colorado, nearly 900 children were treated for the illness, but the good news is that it s not typically deadly.
It can be severe in the asthmatic and the allergy kids population, Dr. Angela Tonozzi, the Director of Infection Prevention at Aurora Healthcare said.
Dr. Tonozzi says while there are no cases in Wisconsin currently, doctors here are prepared.
This is viral respiratory season, so we prepare for Enterovirus as we do every late summer/early fall, Dr. Tonozzi said.
An [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Outlet-Online-Wholesale-Clothing-Handbags-Cheap-Material.html]Gucci Material[/url] analysis by the CDC showed at least 30 Kansas City children tested positive for EV-D68, Missouri health officials said.
It鈥檚 a type of enterovirus that鈥檚 uncommon, but not new.
It was first identified in the 1960s and there have been fewer than 100 reported cases since that time. But it鈥檚 possible that the relatively low number of reports might be because EV-D68 is hard to identify.
EV-D68 was seen last year in the United States and this year in various parts of the world. Over the years, clusters have been reported in Georgia, Pennsylvania, Arizona and various countries including the Philippines, Japan and the Netherlands.
The virus can start as just a cold. Signs include coughing, difficulty breathing and in some cases a rash. Sometimes they can be accompanied by fever or wheezing.
Respiratory problems appear to the hallmark of EV-D68, according to the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services.
鈥淢ost enteroviruses cause either a little bit of a cold or a diarrheal illness 鈥?a few cause meningitis,鈥?said William Schaffner, head of the Department of Preventive Medicine at Vanderbilt University. 鈥淭his one is the, if you will, odd cousin. It causes prominent respiratory symptoms. Why it does that, we鈥檙e really not sure.鈥?
Pay attention to the symptoms that your child is having. If they`re having wheezing for the first time that`s a definite symptom you need to go and seek care for or if they`re having wheezing that just won`t go away. If you re having difficulty breathing, you might need some oxygen. You might need some fluids if you get dehydrated and just specialized care and monitoring, Dr. Tonozzi said.
Like other enteroviruses, the respiratory illness appears to spread through close contact with infected people. That makes children more susceptible.
There鈥檚 not a [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Belts-Online-Real-Men-Sunglasses-Ties.html]Real Gucci[/url] great deal you can do, health officials say, beyond taking commonsense steps to reduce the risk.
Wash your hands with soap and water for 20 seconds 鈥?particularly after going to the bathroom and changing diapers.
Clean and disinfect surfaces that are regularly touched by different people, such as toys and doorknobs.
Avoid shaking hands, kissing, hugging and sharing cups or eating utensils with people who are sick. And stay home if you feel unwell.
There鈥檚 no vaccine for EV-D68.

A says all the indoor marijuana growing operations springing up in Washington state could put a significant demand on the region’s power supplies. And planners are keeping a close eye on the situation.
The Northwest Power and Conservation Council is currently updating its 20-year forecast of regional electricity demand as part of the Northwest Power Plan – which it issues every five years.
Pot growing caught the attention of planners after seeing what happened in Colorado, where the explosion of growers and large scale industrial operations fueled massive energy consumption, says Tom Eckman, director of the [url=http://www.symbiose.ca/images/christianlouboutin.gwij.php]Christian Louboutin Sale[/url] council’s Power Planning Division.
Eckman says it takes the same amount of electricity to grow just four pot plants indoors as it does to power 29 refrigerators.
“You’re installing 1,000 watt lights over about every two plants and running those 16-18 hours a day to grow the product over a 10, 12, 14 week cycle. It’s a pretty significant consumption of electricity.”
The council studied a number of growers across the state earlier this summer after they were granted licenses by the Washington State [url=http://www.symbiose.ca/images/christianlouboutin.gwij.php]Christian Louboutin Outlet[/url] Liquor Control Board. It determined demand for electricity could grow between 60 and 160 average megawatts over the next few years.
“That’s significant,” Eckman says. “That’s about half of the size of a new combustion turbine gas generating plant.”
To put it in perspective, the council compared marijuana production to aluminum. And Eckman says the findings were surprising.
“It takes about 5,000 kilowatt hours to produce a kilogram of cannabis. When we were looking in history it took about 15-20 kilowatt hours to produce a kilogram of aluminum in this region.”
The demand could be far greater if other states in the region legalize marijuana as well.
While the planning process is used to determine demand and the best way to deliver more power, the council also studied ways the industry can reduce energy use by improving efficiencies.
Growers could lower electricity used by about 30 percent by increasing their use of LED lighting and high efficiency heating and ventilation systems, Eckman says.
He also says the council found energy-efficient LED systems increased the yield of two strains of pot by 6 percent, which could be a big incentive for growers.
It’s all just part of what will become an increasing focus [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/gucciusaonlineoutlet.php]gucci outlet[/url] for the council in coming years as more growers go into business. But in the end, he says while it brings some societal issues with it, the council isn’t treating marijuana any differently than a data center or other industry.
“It’s different than a lot of the other things we look at that increase electrical consumption. The Facebook data center is pretty visible in the neighborhood. And this particular agricultural growth product tends to be a little more invisible in the neighborhoods,” he says. “But still, it’s just another use.”

Enterovirus D-68 has been confirmed in many of the children hospitalized for respiratory illness in Chicago and Kansas City, Missouri, where outbreaks started last month.
Ten states, including Oklahoma, have asked the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Handbags-Eyeglass-Dress-Reading-Glasses.html]Gucci Eyeglass[/url] Prevention to help investigate suspected outbreaks.
The culprit is a rare and powerful strain of a common family of viruses. Enteroviruses are common in summer and can cause respiratory illness, fever, runny noses and rashes, but symptoms are usually mild or unnoticeable, according to the CDC.
What is unusual about this strain is how many sufferers have ended up in the hospital, said Chris Van Deusen, spokesman for the Texas Department of State Health Services.
鈥淏ecause it is less common, there鈥檚 less research and less information,鈥?he said.
Enterovirus is such a common ailment that it is not typically reported to state or federal authorities.
More than 475 children were hospitalized with suspected enterovirus late last month at Children鈥檚 Mercy [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Outlet-I-Watch-Mens-Belt-Boxers.html]Cheap Gucci Outlet[/url] Hospital in Kansas City.
A CDC sample of 22 specimens from the hospital came up with 19 positive for enterovirus D68.
Thirteen of those had previous histories of asthma or respiratory illness.
Kelly Craine, spokeswoman for the Waco-McLennan County Public Health District, said the district stays in contact with physicians, hospitals and school nurses about infectious diseases but has seen no indication of enterovirus or other flulike illnesses in circulation during the past two weeks.
Still, she said local health officials are watching the enterovirus outbreak in other states.
鈥淎ny time you have children or high-risk people presenting with those kinds of symptoms, it鈥檚 always a concern and always something we want to know about,鈥?she said.
Scott Clark, spokesman for Baylor Scott White, said the health [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Belts-Online-Handbags-Belts-Wallet-Sale.html]Gucci Handbags[/url] care system hasn鈥檛 seen any indications of an outbreak in its Central Texas facilities, including Baylor Scott White Hillcrest Medical Center in Waco.

Things to watch out for:
Oregon running back Royce Freeman will finally get his first carries as a Duck after having a great fall camp.
Oregon linebackers, especially the middle linebackers, against South Dakota s running back Trevor Bouma. Bouma rushed for 781 yards and three touchdowns last season for the Coyotes. While the Ducks shouldn t have any problem stopping the run against South Dakota, Oregon s rushing defense appeared nonexistent [url=http://www.radiorcs.com/page.php?sale=Kate-Spade-Jules-Wallet]Kate Spade Outlet[/url] towards the tail end last season.

On a United flight on Sunday from Newark to Denver, a passenger fed up with people reclining their seat in front of him, used a $22 device called a knee . It attaches to the tray table of the seat in front of you and prevents the person sitting there from pushing their seat back. He shouldn鈥檛 have even had it on the plane because [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/clreplicashoes.php]Christian Louboutin Outlet[/url] United and other airlines have banned the device.
聽
Maybe it鈥檚 best if your seat doesn鈥檛 recline at all. (Kent D. Johnson/MCT)
You can probably fill in the rest. The woman in front was furious that she couldn鈥檛 exercise her God-given right to push her seat back. An airline attendant was called, voices were raised, matters got completely out of hand, and eventually the woman threw a glass of water in the guy鈥檚 face.
At that point the flight was diverted to Chicago, the two passengers were told to get off the plane and everyone else plane continued on to Denver. Nicely played everyone.
Frankly, it is tough to pick someone to root for in this spitting match. Who buys a device to lock a seat back? And how entitled do you have to be to get so upset about not being able to recline the seat that you end up getting thrown off the plane?
We can however, with certainty, identify the villain. It is United? Or, if you鈥檇 rather, every single one of those airlines that continues to cram passengers into ever-smaller spaces.
But that鈥檚 not the real problem. I think we鈥檝e all accepted the fact that airline travel has become a cattle call. That getting in and out of your narrow seat is going to require contortionist skills. Most people smile politely and make the best of the incredibly cramped conditions. That鈥檚 just the way it is.
But the reclined seat is the final indignity. Just when you鈥檝e resigned yourself to the tiny bit of air space you鈥檝e been allotted for a trip that will take hours, the person in front of you blithely flips back the seat and takes away another six to eight inches. Just try to get out of your seat [url=http://www.symbiose.ca/images/christianlouboutin.gwij.php]Christian Louboutin Sale[/url] and go to the restroom now.
This raises two questions, only one of which is fixable.
First, why do people push their seat back when they know it鈥檚 going to inconvenience the person behind them? Can鈥檛 we appeal to everyone鈥檚 better nature and say, for the good of all, that it would be better if we didn鈥檛 do that.
Sorry, the answer is no. We鈥檝e tried that. I wrote a column about this years ago, and the responses were breathtaking in their sense of entitlement. 鈥淚 NEED to recline my seat,鈥?one man wrote. 鈥淚鈥檓 TIRED.鈥?There were tons of e-mails like that. Every person who ever sat in front of me must have written in. It was a landslide of 鈥渢ough break pal, as long as the seat reclines, I鈥檓 doing it.鈥?
Which brings us to the second question: Why do the seats recline anyway? It鈥檚 not as if the short little push-back makes anyone more comfortable. It鈥檚 six inches at most. You鈥檙e still sitting upright, in a cramped position.
So why do the airlines continue to pretend this is some luxury-liner perk. It鈥檚 not only pointless, it鈥檚 profoundly annoying.
In 2003 the [url=http://www.museosangennaro.com/Public/anel.php]Cheap Christian Louboutin Shoes[/url] Washington Post wrote a on the inventor of the knee protector, who happened to be a Capitol Hill staffer. Although he said it was a simple matter of 鈥減rotection,鈥?the article made the better call. It is, the story said, 鈥渁 recipe for air rage.鈥?
Actually, that鈥檚 not the real recipe. If the seats were in a fixed, slightly reclined position, none of this would happen. The airlines are 鈥?whether they intend to or not 鈥?promoting this controversy. They can fix it in a week. Just lock up the seats so they don鈥檛 recline. Simple.
Because it鈥檚 clear the current system isn鈥檛 working. For proof let鈥檚 go back to our two passengers. They were sitting in the 鈥渆conomy plus鈥?section, where passengers pay extra for a little more for a little more leg room.
How鈥檇 that work out, United? And how鈥檇 you like the national publicity that there was a near fist fight on one of your flights? Do you think that鈥檚 going to help ticket sales?
You know that would be a smart move? Fix the seats so they don鈥檛 recline. Problem solved. You鈥檙e welcome.

SEATTLE The start of [url=http://www.museosangennaro.com/Public/anel.php] Christian Louboutin Shoes Sale[/url] school may be helping to spread a serious virus that is sending hundreds of kids to the hospital in the Midwest, and doctors say it could be heading to the Northwest.
Health officials in 10 states are reporting cases of Enterovirus 68, which is highly contagious.
鈥淲e think this virus is likely to make it to the Northwest,鈥?said Dr. Keith Jerome, head of the Virology Division at UW Medical Center. 鈥淚t seems to be affecting a lot of people so [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/michaelkorssonline.php]Michael Kors uk[/url] we`re making preparations now.鈥?
Those preparations at UW Medical Center include a lab that can test for Enterovirus 68.
鈥淭he testing that we do here is for about 20 different viruses that can all affect the lungs and airways,鈥?said Jerome. 鈥淎nd that way we can tell patients and doctors what virus they have so they can be treated appropriately.鈥?
There is no real treatment for Enterovirus, but the test can rule out other dangerous viruses [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/guccioutlet.onlinesalecc.php]Gucci Outlet Store[/url] like the flu. Doctors say it hits hard, and takes about a week to recover. It is particularly tough on kids who have asthma and other respiratory problems.
When the Los Angeles Lakers selected with the seventh overall pick in this year s draft,聽the聽immediate聽thought聽was that聽he聽would be the team s聽starting power forward, but聽could the聽addition of alter those plans?
This is the question that could be lingering all through training camp as both players could聽play聽themselves into that role. That said, this competition could prove to be beneficial to each player and most importantly the team.
Boozer is coming off arguably his worst season in his career with the Chicago Bulls with his lowest聽averages in聽points (13.7) and rebounds (8.3) since the 2003-04 season with the Cleveland Cavaliers, and posted his worst career聽field goal percentage (45.6). His struggles聽on both ends of the court became more evident as the season wore on, which resulted in head coach limiting his minutes and going with instead.
Needless to say, the 32-year-old will be motivated to revitalize his career with the Lakers, and even went as a far as stating at his introductory press conference that he absolutely expects to be a starter this season. After he was picked up by Los Angeles,聽Boozer knew immediately that he would have stiff competition in the rookie out of Kentucky for the starting job.
:
鈥淚 think first you got to get in the league and see where you fit and find a niche for yourself,鈥?Boozer said. 鈥淚 watched Randle a lot in college. He had a great, great college run. Great rebounder. Great scorer inside and polished. But sometimes you just have to be thrown in the fire and play.
Randle in his one season with Kentucky [url=http://www.radiorcs.com/page.php?sale=Kate-Spade-Randi-Rain-Boots]Kate Spade Randi Rain Boots[/url] was quite a productive player averaging 15.0 points and 10.4 rebounds per game. He also played a significant part in his team鈥檚 run through the NCAA Tournament to the national championship game. He led the nation with 24 double-doubles, which was second-most for a freshman in NCAA history聽only behind Kansas State鈥檚 , who had聽28 in the 2007-08 season.聽
He also earned him numerous awards聽such as聽being named聽SEC Freshman of the Year, All-SEC聽First Team and SEC All-Freshman team, Newcomer of the Year award, and chosen to Third Team All-America by the AP.聽Lastly and most importantly,聽he played an聽essential part in Kentucky s run through the NCAA tournament to the national championship game. This included recording a double-double in each of the first four games of the tournament, which made him just the second player聽at Kentucky and first in the last 56 years to accomplish that feat.
Randle also had a solid showing at the 2014 summer league in Las Vegas聽averaging 12.5 points and 4.3 rebounds in four games played. In those games, he displayed his ability to attack the basket [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Pink-Louboutin]Christian Louboutin For Men[/url] and聽finish with contact, rebound on both ends of the floor, and lived up to the billing as a mobile聽big man with a high motor.
That said, Boozer may still have the upper hand on the 20-year-old as he is an established player in the league with many seasons under his belt. This along with head coach stating in an interview last month that the tw0-time All-Star will be better with the presence of Randle on the team.
:
We have time to work that out, mix and match it up, see who plays better together. I think that will be fun. Let them compete. But I do think Boozer might be better with Julius just because he s a veteran guy and is talkative out there and could help him. But Jordan could too. Ed Davis is a guy that could be in that mix, so we have a lot of guys that will be fighting. He鈥檚 been known to block some shots, and won鈥檛 be a bad guy in there on the weak side to come over and help. He鈥檚 been in here most every day working out, has been really serious about it.
Scott had also stated at his introductory press conference that he did not want to put any expectations on Randle, but rather wait and let him learn the system first. However, he did indicate that Randle had plenty of talent and would聽 definitely 聽help the team.
:
I鈥檓 not going to put expectations on young fella like that. I think he has to come in here and play. He just has to come in here and play, learn the system and I think the sky鈥檚 the limit because he鈥檚 definitely very talented. To get him at seven is a steal. He was one of the top three.

聽Although these statements do give the impression that聽Boozer聽could be聽in line for the聽starting power forward spot, it聽is still too early to rule out the possibility of Randle earning the聽job in training camp. It would not be a surprise to see the former Kentucky Wildcat get the nod given his talent level and what he brings to [url=http://www.radiorcs.com/page.php?sale=Jimmy-Choo-Accessories]Cheap Jimmy Choo Shoes[/url] the table for the team.
Ultimately, the decision on who聽will start聽may come down to what kind of player Boozer is entering his 13th season in the NBA. If last season is of any indication of how聽Boozer will play, then Randle would have a clear shot at聽getting the starting job. However, if Boozer can rekindle his career with Los Angeles and return to being the double-double player he was聽a couple of seasons ago that聽role could be his to lose.
Whatever the case may be, the Lakers will be the beneficiary of the increased competition as it will bring the best out of each聽player with a starting spot essentially up for grabs. That in mind, with training camp set to start later this month expect a spirited battle between Boozer and Randle, and whoever聽Scott聽names the starter will surely聽have earned it.聽

PHOENIX (September 9, 2014) Remnants of Hurricane Norbert will probably linger through Tuesday evening in Arizona, forecasters said.

The seven-time Grammy Award winner has a career spanning several decades, and has no plans of slowing down.
In an interview with for , the Empress of Soul opened up about having new album jitters and also discussed the current state of the industry.
Knight, who rose to prominence in the early 1970 s as the front-woman for the Motown sensation Gladys Knight and the Pips, opened up about some of the young artists that are attempting to break into the music business today.
I don t envy them, coming through the industry at this time because it s a totally different industry. It is money-driven. It is power-driven. They would do anything to get famous, Knight said. We came through with a moral value, an integrity value, and a great love for what we were doing. So it helped us to do the things that we needed to do to be better. We didn t have to be on the cover of every magazine, we didn t have to be doing something dramatic just to get some attention. We let our talents speak for that.
The 70-year-old songstress undoubtedly opened doors for some of the current reigning divas, including聽, Jennifer Hudson, and Alicia Keys.

They re doing the best that they can you have to look at the fame and fortune that they have as long as they mix in the great talent portion of it, then that s the road they they have to take in the industry these days, Knight said.
But how far will you go with that? That s what saddens my heart. We were taught to dress respectfully for our audiences did you hear me say dress? Not take it off, put it on. I m just disappointed with all of that. But there s a way to present your gift if your a singer, make sure you do that.

WASHINGTON (September 8, 2014) Many people newly covered by Medicaid under the federal health law are seeking treatment in hospital emergency rooms, one of the [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Sale-Online-Ladies-Watch-Discounted-Handbags-Wallets.html]Ladies Gucci Watch[/url] most expensive settings for health care, according to an analysis that the Colorado Hospital Association released Monday.
The analysis, which a real-time glimpse at how the nation’s newest social program is working, also found signs that newly insured Medicaid patients admitted to hospitals may be sicker than [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Handbags-Outlet-Vintage-Shopping-Bag-Optical.html]Gucci Optical[/url] patients previously covered by the program, which serves more than 60 million low-income and disabled people.

McKINNEY (September 9, 2014) A power outage shut down the Collin County Courthouse Tuesday in McKinney, delaying government proceedings for at least a day.
A message on the county’s website cited a power outage and said all county offices [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Handbags-Outlet-Vintage-Shopping-Bag-Optical.html]Gucci Shopping Bag[/url] were closed and court cases were postponed until Wednesday, when electricity should be restored.
County spokesman Tim [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Sale-Keychain-Money-Clips-Envy-Perfume.html]Gucci Keychain[/url] Wyatt says the four-story courthouse, where about 300 people work, lost power Monday night.
The issue might be with a transformer, he said.
A spokesman for electric provider Oncor says the problem involves failure of some equipment that is the customer’s responsibility.
Justin Ozuna says Oncor has disconnected power to the courthouse until [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Belts-Sale-Man-Bag-Mens-Bag-Shield-Sunglasses.html]Gucci Man Bag[/url] county officials make repairs.
Collin County, with a population topping 850,000, is just north of Dallas.

MOAPA, Nev. The Southwest was mopping up Tuesday after pouring rains and flash flooding washed out part of a major rail line between Las Vegas and Salt Lake City; swelled a river so high that a Utah national park downstream was briefly shuttered; and closed a 50-mile stretch of heavily traveled Interstate 15 when soggy pavement crumbled.The cleanup began after seasonal monsoon moisture combined with the remnants of Tropical Storm Norbert to dump heavy rain throughout the Southwest and set a single-day rainfall record in Phoenix.The sun was out Tuesday in the small, southern Nevada town of Moapa In Nevada, where officials had feared that rushing water would overwhelm the banks of the swollen Muddy and Virgin rivers.”We saw it right at the cusp and it didn’t go over,” said Erin Neff, spokeswoman for the Clark County Regional Flood Control District. “It’s a near-miss.”At least 30 homes in nearby Overton were flooded, and [url=http://www.alportico.net/gosoc.php] true religion uk[/url] Clark County firefighters counted 18 rescues in the area, many involving submerged cars.”I’ve been in this area since 1978. We’ve never had water like that before,” said David Muns, a resident of Moapa, where more than four inches of rain fell in two hours.Transportation officials said a stretch of I-15 near Moapa could be closed for three to four days while they repair pavement that crumbled into slabs over muddy red dirt. One shattered section stretched for half a mile.Traffic was diverted along detours that added time and miles for the 20,000 vehicles a day that travel the highway connecting Las Vegas and Salt Lake City.Truck driver Randy Garca of Calhan, [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/clreplicashoes.php] Christian Louboutin Outlet Online[/url] Colorado, said he hit a standstill Monday afternoon and didn’t get rolling again until the next morning.”We were hungry so we set up a barbecue,” he said by phone from Cedar City, Utah.Union Pacific Railroad service was suspended while crews repaired track near Moapa that was undermined and washed out by flash flooding. Officials hoped to have the track bed and rails repaired by Wednesday for freight service to resume on the busy Las Vegas-to-Salt Lake City main line.In southern Utah, rangers at Zion National Park turned away visitors for several hours Tuesday when heavy rain and a surging river made park routes impassable. Mud, debris and a boulder blocked Route 9, the road through the main canyon.Wet weather also took its toll on neighboring states.Freeways in Phoenix became small lakes on Monday and rescuers scrambled to get drivers out of inundated cars after more than 3 inches of rain fell.”We’ve never seen this,” Mesa, Arizona, resident Greg Montierth said. “Arizona deals with sand and cactus and heat. We’re not set up for it so I can understand why everybody’s scrambling at the last minute.”Cars also were stranded near Palm Springs and in the Coachella Valley in Southern California.On an I-15 overpass in the Moapa area, police officer Shanan Kelly said he and several construction workers helped rescue a woman who was swept into rushing water from the top of her minivan.”It was very heroic and [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/guccioutlet.onlinesalecc.php]Gucci Outlet Store[/url] awesome,” Kelly said.Forty-two people were evacuated from a middle school and high school in Moapa and spent Monday night in a building at Clark County fairgrounds. Churches provided blankets, and a store and restaurant donated food before police escorted the people over the damaged I-15, according to Clark County spokeswoman Stacey Welling.About 190 people were evacuated from the Moapa Band of Paiutes reservation after tribal officials warned that waters were close to breaching a Muddy River dam. Officials were assessing damage to properties with leaky roofs and wet floors where water breached flood control channels.”We had rivers running through people’s yards. But as far as property damage to homes themselves, I think we fared pretty well,” said Sherryl Patterson, administrator at the tribal office.National Weather Service meteorologist Charlotte Dewey warned that any additional precipitation in the Southwest could quickly cause new flooding because the ground is saturated.
Associated Press writers Paul Davenport and Alina Hartounian in Phoenix, and Michelle Price in Salt Lake City contributed to this report. Rindels reported from Las Vegas.
First of all I want to say superb blog! I
had a quick question which I’d like to ask if you do not mind.
I was curious to find out how you center yourself
and clear your head before writing. I have had difficulty
clearing my mind in getting my ideas out. I truly do take pleasure in writing however
it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes tend to be wasted just
trying to figure out how to begin. Any recommendations or tips?
Cheers!
my blog post – pictures of rhinoplasty
This works fine to help maintain warm water while cleaning but it does not heat up cold water which is why you should start with hot water from your tap.
Services can broadly be categorized as either needs
or wants, but there is some grey area of some that share attributes of both kinds.
You’ll never have to worry about high-pressure sales from Rug Doc.

Jose Calderon va 锚tre sous les ordres de Derek Fisher, ancien meneur du syst猫me en triangle que l’Espagnol va d茅couvrir 脿 New York. Pour le moment, les stats parlent en faveur de l’ancien Maverick.
En donnant les cl茅s 脿 Phil Jackson, grand manitou du [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Belts-Sale-History-Models-Black-Friday.html]Gucci History[/url] jeu en triangle, les Knicks allaient rapidement changer de style de jeu et de culture avec cette nouvelle exigence sportive.
Le Zen Master a remport茅 onze bagues en tant que Head Coach, et avec ce syst猫me si particulier qui peut faire mal, mais qui peut aussi semer la zizanie si le groupe ne se fait pas assez confiance. Pour r茅ussir sa premi猫re pleine saison 脿 la t锚te des Knicks, Jax a fait appel 脿 son ancien meneur Derek Fisher pour mener ses joueurs 脿 adopter ce syst猫me, et il est accompagn茅 notamment de Jim Cleamons, anciennement dans l 茅quipe technique de Jackson du temps des Bulls et des Lakers (5 titres NBA).
On pouvait avoir quelques doutes sur l application du triangle offensif qui s appuie aussi sur un jeu de passe soutenu, or avec un franchise player gourmand en termes de gonfle, 脿 savoir Carmelo Anthony, ce triangle pourrait rapidement montrer ses limites. Mais les Knicks peuvent aussi compenser cette gloutonnerie par l arriv茅e d un Jose Calderon plus passeur, plus mena莽ant sur les tirs ext茅rieurs, et plus s茅rieux que Raymond Felton envoy茅 脿 Dallas.
Si l on se r茅f猫re aux grandes ann茅es du triangle offensif, via notamment Basketball-Reference.com, on peut voir que les Bulls ont pu compter sur John Paxson et Steve Kerr, et les Angelinos sur Derek Fisher. On comparant les stats de ces quatre meneurs, on voit que Calderon est en mesure de donner un vrai plus 脿 ce triangle si cher 脿 Jackson.
Paxson et Kerr tournaient respectivement 脿 3,2 passes et 5 passes par rencontre, alors que Fisher n 茅tait qu 脿 3,8. Calderon quant 脿 lui est 脿 6,8 passes en carri猫re. De plus, si nous rapportons les passes de l espagnol sur 48 minutes, Calderon pourrait 锚tre 脿 l origine de plus de 37% des points de son 茅quipe. Dans ce cas de figure, Fisher serait 脿 17,4%, alors que c么t茅 Bulls c est 21% pour Paxson et seulement 15% pour Kerr. A l heure actuelle, Chris Paul est le grand gourou dans la distribution de caviars puisqu il pourrait, sur 48 minutes, 锚tre 脿 la base de 47% des passes d茅cisives de son 茅quipe. Du coup en termes de passes, [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Outlet-Shoulder-Bags-Continental-Wallet-Watchs.html]Cheap Gucci Outlet[/url] Calderon est le fournisseur id茅al pour Carmelo Anthony.
Si Kerr est connu pour avoir 茅t茅 un bon sniper de l ombre, Calderon est un vrai artilleur longue distance. Cette menace ext茅rieure est nouvelle pour les Knicks et le meneur espagnol pourra en profiter pour cr茅er les espaces et bousculer les d茅fenses adverses.
Tout cela n est que th茅orique bien entendu, mais le style de jeu de Calderon se pr锚te bien [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Belts-Sale-Womens-Shoes-Real-Shoes-Men.html]Gucci Belts Sale[/url] au triangle d attaque des Knicks. Mais il y a un b茅mol. La saison pass茅e, Calderon a d没 apprendre 脿 partager le ballon et la distribution de passes. Il a termin茅 l exercice 2013-2014 avec 11,4 points (46%, 45% 脿 3pts), mais seulement 4,7 passes par match soit son plus mauvais rendement en passe depuis sa saison rookie en 2005 (4,5).
Autre point noir, l effectif des Knicks. Si Melo est l attaquant num茅ro un de Big Apple, Calderon va aussi devoir aller chercher des tireurs comme JR Smith, ou encore des int茅rieurs comme Amar e Stoudemire, or ces joueurs sont loin du niveau de Monta Ellis ou encore de Dirk Nowitzki. Tim Hardaway pourrait profiter de l impact de Calderon, mais Smith pourrait aussi mal vivre cette situation et ruin茅 les vestiaires et donc la coh茅sion du groupe.
Si les Knicks doivent r茅ussir, cela passera forc茅ment par le jeu de Calderon.
It s almost the day that all Oregon Duck football fans have been waiting for.
On Saturday, September 6, the No. 3 Oregon Ducks will face off with the No. 7 Michigan State Spartans in a clash between a high temp offense and a stout defense.
Saturday s match up will be a true showing of how good each team really is and will [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Christian-Louboutin-Site]Christian Louboutin Site[/url] likely set the tone for the remaining season.
Here are five things to watch for in the game.
Oregon s fast tempo offense versus Michigan State s stout defense. How will Oregon s spread offense do against the bigger Michigan State defense front? In recent past years, Oregon s offense has been slowed by bigger teams at the line of scrimmage. Saturday will show whether that trend continues or [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Tory-Burch-Gold-Clutch]Tory Burch Gold Clutch[/url] not for the Ducks. 聽
Oregon s defensive front against Michigan State s running attack. The Spartans are strong up front at offensive line and will most likely try to mimic Stanford s game plan of running the ball of the last few years.
Marcus Mariota against Michigan State s secondary. The Spartans are headlined by cornerback Trae Waynes and safety Kurtis Drummond. Drummond made 1st team All Big Ten while Waynes will fill the role of recent NFL first round pick Darqueze Dennard.
Marcus Mariota and his Oregon records in reach. He needs just one passing touchdown to be the career leader in total passing touchdowns in Oregon football history. Mariota also is just 22 yards short of total offensive yards from setting the UO record at 8,141 total yards.
Michigan State s running back Jeremy Langford not playing at one-hundred percent health. Against Jacksonville State, Langford was taken out twice with an ankle injury. Although Langford is expected the play against Oregon, not having him at one-hundred [url=http://www.radiorcs.com/page.php?sale=Kate-Spade-Shopper]Kate Spade Shopper[/url] percent helps Oregon s chances at slowing down the run.

Lakes CLEAR (Pierce) : Folks looking for a change from trolling, can try anchoring in water about 45 feet deep. Look for fish 25-30 feet [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/michaelkorssonline.php] michael kors handbags[/url] down. Use a small orange still-fishing spinner tipped with a maggot and a red egg. HARTS: A few crappie are being caught. Try using a red- or yellow-and-white crappie jig. People are catching yellow perch using a worm fished under a bobber. The catfish action has been slowed by warm water, but should pick up soon. LEECH: The trout action has been good to very good. Brook and rainbow trout are hitting scud, Carey Special, mayfly emerger, bloodworm and caddis patterns. The best surface action has been midday. MINERAL: The trout action has improved. Most people are still fishing off the bottom. Use a combination of a worm, marshmallow and a Power Egg on a 4-foot leader. RATTLESNAKE: The fishing has improved as the cool nights have lowered the water temperature. Try fishing black or maroon leeches in the deep portions of the lake. WASHINGTON: The fishing has been good in the waters of Magnuson Park in Seattle. People are catching lots of yellow perch and rock bass, and the smallmouth bass action has been very good as well.Rivers COWLITZ: The action has been fair, based on state creel sampling. Anglers are landing a mix of chinook, coho and steelhead, but the numbers of fish have not been great. GREEN: This has been one of the best rivers right now for consistent catches of nice, bright coho. Anglers are having success fishing in the morning with eggs. PUYALLUP: Some fish [url=http://www.symbiose.ca/images/christianlouboutin.gwij.php]Christian Louboutin Outlet[/url] are being caught, but the action is far from red hot. SNOHOMISH: People making the drive north had some success over the weekend. Most people are drifting jigs under a bobber, while others are using spoons. YAKIMA: The fly action has been very good in recent days. Look for the trout holding in seams and pools in the middle of the river, now that flows are low. There have been hatches of caddis, yellow mayflies and crane flies. Terrestrial patterns like grasshoppers, ants and beetles also are effective.Salt water FLY FISHING: The beach action is starting to pick up as the coho are returning, especially along the eastside of Puget Sound at spots like Browns Point and Dash Point. Some fish also are being caught in the Tacoma Narrows. Try using bright, sparse flies 3-4 inches long, such as a stinger Clouser. SEKIU: The coho fishing has been good since the weekend. NORTH SOUND: Daniel Lejnieks won the Edmonds Coho Derby s $5,000 first prize with an 11.15-pound fish. There were 331 fish weighed in during Saturday s derby. SOUTH SOUND: People are catching far more coho than chinook in [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/gucciusaonlineoutlet.php] cheap gucci[/url] the Tacoma area, just not in great numbers according to state creel sampling. The salmon fishing in the Olympia area has been slow. WESTPORT: The action since the weekend has been mostly for coho. Charter boats are running north about 15 miles from the harbor mouth, then heading west about 8 miles in water about 150 feet deep. The tuna action has slowed as the fish have moved south and far offshore for now.

On Sept. 21, Bellingham physical therapist Greg Spooner, also a UPS graduate, will join the team.Adventure filmmaker Markus Pukonen and biologist Max Finkelstein, both from Canada, are also part of the crew. When the expedition reaches the Gulf of Mexico before Thanksgiving, Hanssen says he plans to continue on alone to Mobile, Alabama, where he was born.As part of the journey, the team launched rowboatclassroom.org, where people can track the rowers progress, watch educational webinars and download free curriculum.The group is also stopping to make appearances in classrooms along the way. Spooner says the team has 15 school visits lined up, at least one in every state along the Mississippi except one. They re still hoping to [url=http://www.alportico.net/page.php?sale=True-Religion-Jeans-White]True Religion Jeans White[/url] arrange a visit in Kentucky.OAR Northwest s goal is to make Adventure: Mississippi River an annual trip that inspires students to experience an adventure in their local environment, understand the potential environmental impacts of their actions, and engage the rich history and diversity of species along the Mississippi River and its immense watershed. Hanssen, OAR Northwest [url=http://www.radiorcs.com/page.php?sale=Jimmy-Choo-Bree]Jimmy Choo Bree[/url] s president, hopes to have opportunities for others to make future expeditions either with them or in their place.OAR Northwest formed as a non-profit in 2005 and it s first expedition was a transatlantic rowing race in 2006. The 4-person team won the race and earned a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records.Other adventures have included circumnavigating the Olympic Peninsula and Vancouver Island. They partnered with the Canadian Wildlife Federation in 2014 in an attempt to row from Africa to Miami. Their boat capsized before completing the trip and they were rescued by the Coast Guard.

Other questions: Is this woman an alcoholic? How many DWI cases has she prosecuted and how zealous was she in pressing her cases? How much money is she costing taxpayers? It sounds to me as if she needs investigating.
Another question: Is there such a thing as safe drunk driving? I don鈥檛 think so.

I totally agree with Donna M. Myers鈥?recent letter about Gov. Rick Perry. His arrogance and his [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Discount-Mens-Loafers-Guilty-Jordans.html]Gucci Discount[/url] feeling exempt from the law are an embarrassment to this state. After all, he now has fame, fortune and power. It appears that he鈥檚 deeply infected with narcissism, particularly with his new designer glasses, almost as if he were Clark Kent.
If Perry makes another run for president of the United States, let鈥檚 see if his high-paid attorneys, fame, money and eyeglasses provide him with Supermanlike strength to fly past all barriers and land in the White House.

Wrong priority
I am stunned and saddened after reading the recent article about the city鈥檚 requesting $2 million to fund the local animal clinic. First of all, improving the care of animals is a noble endeavor. But please do that with private donations, not my tax dollars.
If $2 million is raised, I request that it be used for such wonderful endeavors as [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Belts-Sale-Com-Shoes-Outlet-Locations-Outlet.html]Gucci Belts Sale[/url] Mission Waco, Caritas, Family Abuse Center, Grace House and other facilities and services that help homeless, impoverished and abused people. Animals are nice to have and we should be kind to them, but people are much more important to feed and care for and house. And $2 million would go a long way toward helping people who are really struggling.
And, incidentally, I am a pet parent myself.

Speaking in the aftermath of [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/gucciusaonlineoutlet.php]gucci outlet[/url] events in Ferguson, Gov. Jay Nixon stated: 鈥淭o get justice it has to be transparent justice, it has to be thorough justice.鈥滺e was right. His assertion should apply in all cases, including, maybe even especially, in the administration of the death penalty.Missourians, as well as the men to be executed and their families, have an absolute right to know the truth about the execution process. Instead, Missouri鈥檚 Department of Corrections has misled the public and obstructed access to the truth. Appointed by the governor and represented by the attorney general, these public officials must be held accountable for transparent, thorough justice.Last week, the Post-Dispatch reported on a St. Louis Public Radio story exposing misrepresentations and possible perjury by state officials in court cases concerning executions in Missouri. The state has executed nine men in the past nine months. The 10th execution is set for 12:01 a.m. Wednesday. Unless the court or Gov. Nixon intervenes, Earl Ringo Jr. will be executed with a process that is intentionally and grossly deceptive, and in some ways, unlawful.The recent series of botched executions of three inmates in Ohio, Oklahoma and Arizona had one common thread 鈥?the use of a drug called midazolam or Versed, a powerful sedative that is frequently injected as an anesthetic before surgery. According to the public radio report, large doses of the drug can obstruct the airway, suffocating the inmate, or can cause an immense amount of pain, paralyzing the inmate, making it impossible for him to alert anyone to his pain. The use of midazolam was involved in the recent agonizing and prolonged deaths of Dennis McGuire, Clayton Lockett and Joseph Woods.For the past year, Missouri officials have repeatedly insisted, at times under oath, that Missouri does not use midazolam in executions. DOC Director George Lombardi stated under oath: 鈥淚鈥檓 testifying right now to tell you that will not be the case. We will not use those drugs.鈥漁ne glaring problem: It was a lie.The public radio report relied on DOC internal documents that revealed midazolam had been used in all nine of Missouri鈥檚 most recent executions. Even more troubling, the drug apparently has been administered intravenously and before the time the executions were scheduled.What鈥檚 more, it appears that the drug is being injected while the inmate is affixed to the gurney and the curtains are closed. In other words, the inmate may be suffering immensely, or could even be comatose and already dying, before the legal warrant to execute is in effect 鈥?and before [url=http://www.symbiose.ca/images/christianlouboutin.gwij.php]Christian Louboutin Outlet[/url] witnesses are able to witness anything.This is not the first disturbing revelation to emerge recently about the DOC鈥檚 execution policies. In January, it became clear that DOC officials were carrying bags of cash across state lines to purchase execution drugs. Moreover, the DOC has admitted publicly that it buys its pentobarbital from an unregulated compounding pharmacy, a clear violation of federal drug law.Despite this, no one has investigated these apparent violations. In public statements, Attorney General Chris Koster has claimed that the courts have approved Missouri鈥檚 execution protocol. But that also is not true. In fact, no court has ever conducted any substantive review of Missouri鈥檚 execution process. Koster has consistently blocked such review. And now we know that the court itself has been lied to.Gov. Mary Fallin of Oklahoma, a strong supporter of the death penalty, has announced a moratorium on executions in her state until a complete investigation takes place surrounding the use of midazolam in the execution process. Ohio may soon follow suit. Gov. Nixon should do likewise.One famous Missourian kept a sign on his desk: 鈥淭he buck stops here.鈥?Gov. Nixon should endorse the maxim that defined President Harry Truman鈥檚 role as chief executive and take a stand. He should [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/guccioutlet.onlinesalecc.php]Gucci Outlet Store[/url] show leadership, courage and a faithful embrace and extension of the promise he made about Ferguson.Nixon should stop the execution of Earl Ringo and not allow his DOC execution team to hide behind word games, muddled timelines or smokescreens. He should not rely on the court or anyone else to perform his duty and responsibility for delivering transparent and thorough justice.Joan Bray served a total of 18 years in the Missouri Senate and the Missouri House of Representatives.

Matthew Smiley, 18, of Kingston, appeared in Kitsap County Superior District Court [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/guccioutlet.onlinesalecc.php]Gucci Shoes[/url] Monday. (Photo: KCPQ-TV)
PORT ORCHARD, Wash. The Kitsap County Sheriff s Office said Tuesday it had arrested four people for allegedly threatening witnesses in their case against 18-year-old Matthew Smiley, who is accused of threatening to shoot up Kingston High School.
Three of the arrests occurred between 12:30 p.m. and 1:30 p.m. Tuesday at Kingston High School. The fourth arrest occurred in Bremerton around 3:30 p.m., the sheriff s office said.
Sheriff鈥檚 detectives became aware of the threats to witnesses from NK School District officials earlier today and initiated the follow-up investigation. Specific threats to harm several individuals were made via social media, the sheriff s office said.
Smiley appeared in Kitsap County District Court on Monday, where a [url=http://www.symbiose.ca/images/christianlouboutin.gwij.php]Christian Louboutin Outlet[/url] judge set bail at $2 million for the former Kingston High student.
According to the sheriff s office, an investigation was started last Thursday after a 911 call made by Kingston High School security officers, who reported that witnesses had contacted them and said a former student had voiced threats to others that, One of these days I m gonna walk in and shoot up the school.
The threats to cause violence at KHS were reportedly made on more than one occasion. Witnesses also reported that the young man had access to firearms [url=http://www.alportico.net/prodotti/christianlouboutin-sale.jkmsw.php]Christian Louboutin Replica[/url] and had displayed these weapons as a point of emphasis, the sheriff s office said.
Deputies and detectives learned that the suspect, Smiley, had been expelled from the high school during the 2013 鈥?2014 academic year for trying to sell marijuana.
The suspect was booked into Kitsap County Jail on charges of felony harassment and unlawful possession of a firearm.
Very energetic post, I loved that a lot. Will there be a part 2?

Steven Sotloff
(CNN) The family of slain American hostage Steven Sotloff believes ISIS paid as much as $50,000 to rebels who alerted the militant group that the journalist had entered Syria, a spokesman told CNN.
The family had learned from sources on the ground that a member of a moderate rebel group reached out to ISIS, Barak Barfitold told CNN s Anderson Cooper 360 on Monday.
Somebody at the border crossing made a phone call to ISIS, and they set up a fake checkpoint with many people, Barfi said. Steve and his people that he went in with could not escape.
Barfi said the tipster was one of the so-called moderate rebels that people want our administration to support.
So how much was the tip worth?
Sotloff s whereabouts were sold for something between $25- and $50,000, Barfi said.
False accusations
Sotloff, a 31-year-old freelance journalist, disappeared during a reporting trip to Syria in August 2013. Barfi said last saw his friend off the morning he disappeared.
Minutes before he was kidnapped, he called me from inside Syria to tell me that he was in, Barfi said.
Sotloff was supposedly turned over because his name was on a list of people responsible for a hospital bombing, his friend said.
This was false. Activists spread his name around, Barfi told Cooper.
In fact, Steve [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Handbags-Outlet-Eyewear-Catalog-Polo-Shirts-T-Shirts.html]Gucci Handbags Outlet[/url] loved the Arab and Islamic world, and he wanted to bring their suffering to the world stage, Barfi said. He believed that everybody was created equal, and the people in the Arab and Islamic world weren t terrorists, they were just people like you and me.
Was the beheading preventable?
The gruesome video of an ISIS militant decapitating Sotloff spurred international outrage at ISIS, the Islamist terror group that refers to itself as the Islamic State. The group is trying to establish strict Islamist rule over swaths of Syria and Iraq and has captured cities in [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Sale-Online-Travel-Bag-Gold-Watch-Bracelet.html]Gucci Travel Bag[/url] both countries.
But that video wasn t the first time Sotloff was featured in an ISIS message.
Sotloff appeared in the earlier decapitation video of James Foley, another American journalist who was beheaded by an ISIS militant. In that video, a militant said Sotloff s life depended on what President Barack Obama did next.
Once Steve appeared in that video, the Sotloff family made one simple request of the administration and they were rebuffed on that, Barfi told CNN. He declined to elaborate on the request, citing the safety of those who are still being held hostage.
He said the relationship between the Sotloff family and the White House was very strained.
We do not believe they gave us the cooperation (the family needed), he said.
National Security Council spokeswoman Caitlin Hayden said the administration is still committed to the cases of Sotloff and Foley.
We understand the very real pain the Sotloff family is feeling at this time. Our thoughts and prayers are with them as they grieve Steven s loss, Hayden said.
We condemn the murders of Steven and Jim Foley and we remain committed to bringing the perpetrators of these crimes to justice.
But Barfi also lamented the release of information about an unsuccessful U.S. commando raid this summer that attempted to free Foley, Sotloff and others.
We know that the intelligence community and the White House are enmeshed in a larger game of bureaucratic infighting, and Jim and Steve are pawns in that game. And that s not fair, Barfi said.
If there continues to be leaks, the Sotloff family will have to speak out to set the record straight.
Up to $10 million reward
A group of bipartisan senators introduced a bill Monday that would authorize up to $10 million for information leading to the arrest and conviction of anyone involved in the Foley [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Handbags-Outlet-Used-Bags-Totes-Sale-Shoes.html]Gucci Handbags Outlet[/url] and Sotloff abductions and beheadings.
James Foley and Steven Sotloff nobly risked their lives in the pursuit of truth, and the United States will not stand idly by after two of its own were brutally murdered at the hands of fundamentally evil and freedom-hating extremists, Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Florida, said in a statement.
Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, D-New Hampshire, echoed that sentiment.
James and Steven contributed greatly to the world through their reporting, and we must vigorously pursue those responsible for their murders.
I think this is among the most vital information for me.
And i’m glad reading your article. But want to remark on few general things,
The website style is wonderful, the articles is really excellent :
D. Good job, cheers
You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I in finding this
matter to be really something which I feel I’d by no means understand.

The issues with diagnosis, care and costs related to Alzheimer s disease are as difficult to solve as they are troubling. But wandering can be mitigated, simply and inexpensively, through programs that are now being used in some Maine communities and should be considered elsewhere.
One of these programs, known as , is coming to four central Maine communities. Now being used by police and sheriff s departments in Waldo and Knox counties, the program gives [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/gucciusaonlineoutlet.php] cheap gucci[/url] police access to information about local residents who are believed by their relatives to be in danger of wandering. If that person disappears, police can instantly call up and disseminate photographs and personal and medical information, allowing for a faster, more effective search.
The Wanderers Database is not the only help available. In June, police in Auburn and Ogunquit began using the national Project Lifesaver program, in which the person at risk for wandering wears a bracelet that emits a radio signal.
There are GPS-based systems, as well, such as Comfort Zone, a program through the Alzheimer s Association that allows families and caregivers to locate wanderers using a wearable device and a Web-based mapping program. And there are more low-tech options, such as the MedicAlert SafeReturn program, which helps track people down using an ID bracelet connected to a national hotline.
But The Wanderers Database, and others like it, puts the information directly in [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/michaelkorssonline.php] michael kors bags[/url] the hands of police, who are in the best position to conduct a search and spread the word to nearby communities.
And the programs are not just suitable for people with dementia. They can all be used for children diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder, who also are prone to wander.
In fact, the Autism Society of Maine suggests that parents who have a child on the autism spectrum pre-emptively provide emergency responders with specific information about how to approach their child if he or she goes missing. That is the same information provided to police through The Wanderers Database, except in the latter case it is electronic, and thus easy to access and distribute to responders in the field during an emergency.
Alzheimer s disease must be reckoned with in the coming years, in Maine as much as anywhere else. The number of Alzheimer s cases in Maine, the nation s oldest state, is expected to increase by in the next six years alone.
That comes [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/clreplicashoes.php]Christian Louboutin Shoes Sale[/url] with many long-term challenges, from attracting enough caregivers to figuring out how to pay for the astronomical Medicare costs associated with the disease. But with the tracking programs so readily available, the danger, and the anguish, presented by wandering can be abated now.

Don t starting labelling Saudi Arabia as the green savior just yet. In order to reduce their reliance on imported diesel, they are also making big investments in petroleum refineries. At the heart of Saudi Arabia s solar boom is the (SASIA), whose goal is to make the Kingdom 鈥渙ne of the most energy advantaged countries in the world.鈥?
This trend is actually spreading all over the Midde East with companies like Israel [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Belts-Sale-Polo-Shirt-Pour-Homme-Womens-Sneakers.html]Womens Gucci Sneakers[/url] s also aiming to reduce or eliminate the use of diesel generators in the city of Haifa.

However back in Saudi Arabia, the need for solar energy is growing. According to SASIA, almost 25 percent of the Saudi grid is powered by diesel and the Kingdom spends over $1 billion on imported diesel. Not only that, but these generators are located in remote regions so added costs are incurred transporting fuel around the country.
In doesn t take much to realize that the solar potential for a country like Saudi Arabia is massive.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi has strongly come out in support of net neutrality, asking the FCC to ban so-called Internet fast lanes by regulating broadband as a telecommunications service under Title II.
I oppose special Internet fast lanes, only open to those firms large enough to pay big money or fraught [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Outlet-Online-Glasses-Satchel-Bag-Computer-Bag.html]Gucci Outlet Online[/url] enough to give up big stakes in their company , the California Democrat said in a to FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler, adding that the Title II is an appropriate tool to refine modern rules, and will prevent the agency from overburdening broadband providers.
Pelosi also noted that Title II designation would not only let the FCC better prevent fraud on people s bills, but would also allow the agency to ensure that Web-based phone and video calls and other data will reach their destination without interference . She also insisted that net neutrality rules should apply to wireless [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Handbags-Outlet-Outlets-Winter-Hats-Belt.html]Gucci Handbags Outlet[/url] carriers too.
Although many other lawmakers including Al Franken, Ed Markey, and more have already voiced their support for net neutrality, Pelosi is the highest ranking democrat, and her position will definitely put more political pressure on Wheeler. However, if the FCC goes ahead and uses the Title II option, the move will likely not go down well with large internet companies, which have strong lobbying force in Washington.
The agency is currently accepting public comments on [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Outlet-Online-Joy-Tote-Luggage-Hats.html]Gucci Hats[/url] its proposal for new rules on net neutrality, and the period for reply comments on the proposal closes next Monday.

Competitive gaming, or eSports, is bigger than ever. Valve recently partnered with ESPN to air coverage of back in July with $10 million in prizes up for grabs. Even [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Handbags-Outlet-Com-Sale-Backpack-Men-C.html]Gucci C[/url] still, however, eSports aren t thought of as a real sport according to ESPN president John Skipper.
During a recent , the executive likened eSports to chess and checkers by that, he means it s a competition, not a sport. Skipper followed up by saying he is mostly interested in doing real sports.
To put the comments into context, they came as a result of someone asking him to comment on . One might expect such comments in retaliation from, say, that was also vying for the acquisition. But for ESPN to say that is a [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Sale-Jackie-Bag-Book-Bag-Tee-Shirts.html]Gucci Tee Shirts[/url] bit bizarre.
Following the successful broadcast of the Dota 2 tournament in mid-July which surpassed expectations across the board, rumors circulated that ESPN was looking to expand its eSports coverage. The source for said rumor indicated the network was in advanced talks with Major League Gaming to possibly cover MLG s Call of Duty competitions.
Personal opinions aside, there s no doubt a ton of money to be made from eSports. Sure, gaming tournaments likely wouldn t bring in the kind of ratings one would expect from college football, the NFL, the NBA and other major sporting events but given ESPN s vast number [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Discount-Real-Belts-Bikini-Makeup-Bag.html]Gucci Bikini[/url] of channels, I m sure they could find a few empty slots to fill out their lineup.

It came down to two players this week, one who showed us all that he is who we thought he is. The other wound up proving to us that is more than we may have expected.
The runner up this week is , who played with determination and was effective almost every time he touched the ball. He had 118 yards on 22 carries. And this is not a statistic [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Handbags-Outlet-Vintage-Shopping-Bag-Optical.html]Gucci Optical[/url] that was padded by one or two breakaway runs. The longest carry he had was for 15 yards. No, Murray was getting good, effective yards almost every time he touched the ball.
Of course, he also had one very, very bad play, when the ball was torn from his arms and run in for a touchdown by the 49ers. That play, just 54 seconds into the game, was certainly a shock to the Cowboys, and turned out to be the beginning of flood of first quarter miscues. Murray also was part of two other sequences that contributed to the general malaise that afflicted Dallas, although his involvement was in how he was not used.聽, the second-and-one call at SF 2 yard line. Had the Cowboys done the smart thing, not the clever thing, and fed Murray the ball, the game would likely have been tied. Then, in the second quarter, with first and goal at the 5, Dallas again went to the pass and it led to an interception. Even on their second touchdown play late in the game, Dallas was passing from the 2 yard line rather than running it in. Murray continues to prove what he can do – to everyone, it seems, but the coaching staff, who apparently doubt his ability at crucial [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Sale-Wedding-Shoes-Mens-Sunglasses-Luggage-Sets.html]Gucci Wedding Shoes[/url] moments.
So the game ball goes to another player, one who there were many doubts about going into the game, but who answered them with hard, effective play and some bone-jarring hits. The first BTB game ball of 2014 goes to middle linebacker , who tied with for the team lead in tackles at eight. More to the point, he clearly answered the questions about his motivations. His play was not perfect, but he showed up in聽 as Dallas’ second-highest rated defensive player (behind ). More importantly was the way he leveled a couple of people coming through the line. His talent was never questioned, but many had strong doubts that McClain really had his head straight after retiring from football twice. Instead, he looked and played for much of the game like he was the best athlete and player on the field for Dallas’ defense.
On Sunday, he looked like he was fully committed to playing the game. He even had to play the nickel after Justin Durant went out with a groin strain. His performance overall looked to be about as much as the Cowboys could want from someone having to step in to cover for the injured Sean Lee. Dallas looks to have found a keeper, and the question about what to do at the Mike position is answered. In a game that left so many [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Handbags-Outlet-Stores-Online-Sale-Winter-Hat.html]Gucci Outlet Stores[/url] other questions unanswered, and even brought up a couple of new ones, the emphatic way McClain took care of the questions around him and his position earn him the Game Ball for the first game of 2014.

Transf茅r茅 de Cleveland 脿 Minnesota dans le cadre du trade de Kevin Love, Anthony Bennett est tr猫s excit茅 脿 l’id茅e de jouer avec sa nouvelle 茅quipe.
Consid茅r茅 comme l un des pires num茅ros 1 de la draft, Anthony Bennett souhaite montrer 脿 la terre enti猫re, du moins 脿 tous les fans de basket, qu il n est pas le joueur balourd et maladroit qu il 茅tait la saison pass茅e. En m茅forme, bless茅 et critiqu茅 parce qu il avait 茅t茅 choisi en premi猫re position de la draft, Bennett n 茅tait pas dans les meilleures dispositions pour attaquer sa saison de rookie et au [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Discount-Clothing-Line-Envy-Me-Mens-Jewelry.html]Gucci Discount[/url] final, tout au long de la saison, l ancien joueur d UNLV a jou茅 脿 l envers.
Encha卯nant les z茅ro point茅s, les DNP, Anthony Bennett a montr茅 ses limites 脿 s adapter au jeu de la NBA. Peu aid茅 par le coaching de Mike Brown et pas franchement soutenu par les fans et les dirigeants, le num茅ro 1 de la Draft 2013 s est renferm茅 sur lui-m锚me et s est mis peu 脿 peu encore plus de pressions. La venue de Kevin Love qui a forc茅 son d茅part 脿 Minnesota est, selon les dires du joueur rapport茅 par une bouff茅e d air frais .
En effet pourquoi rester dans une franchise o霉 il n est pas d茅sir茅 ? Aux [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Sale-Bags-Cheap-Buy-Belt-Shoe-Repair.html]Cheap Gucci Sale[/url] Wolves, Bennett pourra relancer sa carri猫re. Preuve de sa bonne foi, l ancien joueur des Cavaliers a travaill茅, s est remis en forme (茅paule remise, probl猫mes respiratoires oubli茅s) et est apparu cet 茅t茅. Volontaire et rassurant quant 脿 son niveau de jeu, le Canadien prouve qu il n est pas le genre de joueur que l on a vu la saison pass茅e.
Ce qui est s没r, c est que Bennett n aura aucun mal 脿 faire oublier sa saison catastrophique puisqu il tournait la saison pass茅e 脿 4,2 points et 3 rebonds par match. Cette ann茅e et au sein d une 茅quipe qui reste tr猫s jeune avec la pr茅sence de Andrew Wiggins, Zach Lavine, Ricky Rubio, Bennett aura un r么le majeur en tant que back-up de Thaddeus Young et pourra 茅voluer sans pression, puisque l 茅quipe est plus ou moins attendue en playoffs. Cela lui permettra de reprendre confiance en [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Sale-Authentic-Wholesale-Heels-Phone.html]Gucci Phone[/url] lui et de d茅marrer enfin sa carri猫re.

LYONS, Colo. (CBS4) Nearly one year after historic flooding Colorado state leaders celebrated reaching a major milestone in the recovery effort.
Gov. John Hickenlooper, Rep. Cory Gardner and Sen. Mark Udall were among state leaders to officially reopen U.S. Highway 36 at Longmont Dam Road Monday morning.
U.S. Highway 36 open on Monday morning (credit: CBS)
The flooding that began nearly a year ago will be forever etched in Colorado history. But what will also endure [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Belts-Sale-Glasses-Wristlets-Usa.html]Gucci Usa[/url] is the story of how Coloradans responded, Hickenlooper said in a statement.
Flooding last September washed away stretches of the road between Lyons and Estes Park.
It s the first of more than 20 flood-related repair projects the Colorado Department of Transportation is working on. Construction is nearly complete, but still expect some road closures along Highway 36 through the end of September.
Engineers say the floods taught them a lesson see where the river wants to flow and design the roads around it.
The idea behind this design is to push into the mountain, elevate it in [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Handbags-Stroller-Baby-Clothes-Discount-Purses.html]Gucci Baby Clothes[/url] some cases, but basically have it sit on bedrock, Project Engineer Chris Boespflug said.
According to the governor s office, the floods affected 24 counties and covered more than 2,000 square miles, causing approximately $3 billion in damage. The [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Outlet-Online-Flats-Cufflinks-Bookbags.html]Gucci Flats[/url] state s infrastructure sustained approximately $1.7 billion of the damage.
The floods were responsible for 10 deaths and displaced more than 18,000 people.
We are committed to a 100-percent recovery for local communities. It will take time, but working together with our local, state and federal partners we will continue to build back better and stronger, Hickenlooper said in a statement.
A day of service is planned for the 1-year anniversary of the floods this Saturday where people are encouraged to volunteer on rebuilding projects.

Lee, on a two-day trade mission to Mexico City, will announce Tuesday the launch of LatinSF, an economic development program designed to promote business ties between San Francisco and Latin America.
The aim is to attract Latin American businesses to San Francisco and help local companies [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/michaelkorssonline.php] michael kors outlet[/url] expand into Mexico, Central America and South America.
The program, a joint initiative between the city and San Francisco Chamber of Commerce, is modeled on ChinaSF, which has brought more than 45 Chinese companies to San Francisco since it was founded in 2008.
Lee sees San Francisco not only as an attractive technology hub for Latin American companies, but also as a gateway to Asian markets for those businesses.
鈥淭his is part of an expanded international economic outreach plan鈥?that will only bolster the city鈥檚 status as a 鈥済lobal gateway,鈥?Lee said before he departed for Mexico on Sunday.
San Francisco is not necessarily trying to supplant Miami, the long-standing U.S. nexus for Latin American business, or other hubs, like Houston and Los Angeles.
Instead, the focus is on attracting business interests tied to the Bay Area鈥檚 leading industries 鈥?tech, bio-tech and clean energy 鈥?while opening up a region with a growing consumer class to San Francisco companies.
Lee is to make the announcement at Silicon Valley Day in Mexico City, a conference organized by San Francisco technology companies such as customer service聽 software company Zendesk.
鈥淚nterest in Latin America keeps growing within San Francisco technology companies, and this event is proof of it,鈥澛?Fernando Franco, trade and investment deputy commissioner at ProMexico, that country鈥檚 foreign trade and investment agency, posted in comments online.
LatinSF is primarily focused on Mexico, Chile, Colombia and Peru 鈥?members of the Pacific Alliance trade bloc 鈥?as well as Brazil and Argentina, said Una Fannon, San Francisco鈥檚 director of international business development.
鈥淚t鈥檚 a growing region right on our doorstep,鈥?Fannon said.
Getting there is not necessarily that easy though. San Francisco International Airport has nonstop flights to Mexico but currently none to South America. That could change if there is more business demand for routes.
鈥淟atinSF will improve connections to the region,鈥?Fannon said. 鈥淚t鈥檚 a chicken-and-the-egg problem. You have to build the business need to make it attractive to the airlines.鈥?
San Francisco taxpayers are kicking in $100,000 [url=http://www.alportico.net/gosoc.php] true religion outlet[/url] for the initiative, with the private sector expected to match that. So far,聽 the Mita Institute and Tech Accelerator has committed $15,000, [url=http://www.museosangennaro.com/Public/wdluk.php]Louboutin Shoes Outilet[/url] and Aeromexico has donated two free flights for the program, a city official said.
Unlike ChinaSF, which has an office in Beijing and Shanghai, no overseas office is planned yet for LatinSF, which will operate out of space from the Chamber of Commerce.
San Francisco has identified a director for the program but would not yet release the person鈥檚 name. He or she is expected to start in 鈥渁 month or so,鈥?Fannon said.
While in Mexico, Lee met with U.S. Ambassador Anthony Wayne on Monday to discuss the influx of undocumented youth. Lee is also meeting Mexican business leaders from the financial and technology sectors.
Lee is not the only U.S. politician with eyes on Mexico.
President Obama earlier this year made his fifth trip to Mexico as president. Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was there last week, as was potential rival 2016 presidential candidate Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey. Gov. Jerry Brown and Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti each visited earlier this year.

The Oakland Raiders open their 2014 season on Sunday in New York, visiting the Jets, and their season, as well as the mid-term future of the franchise, lies squarely in the hands of rookie quarterback .
After consecutive 4-12 seasons, head coach and general manager are under the gun from fans and an increasingly impatient owner to not only show marked improvement, but to contend for a playoff spot. It鈥檚 a tough situation to be in, and one made tougher when handing the most difficult job in sports to an inexperienced player.
Shining in preseason
Carr was taken in the second round of the 2014 NFL Draft by the Raiders, with the intention that he would become well-seasoned with a couple of years of understudy duties behind newly acquired quarterback Matt Schaub. As typical with Raiders teams of the recent past, the plan didn鈥檛 exactly work out.
Schaub struggled to make an impression in the preseason, and ended camp sidelined with a sore elbow, eerily reminiscent to the Raiders鈥?failed experiment with quarterback Matt Flynn last season. Given an opportunity, Carr shined in the final preseason game against the Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks, completing 11 of 13 passes for 143 yards and three touchdowns.
With that single performance, Carr elevated himself to be the first rookie starter in Raiders history, and the first of the rookie signal callers this year to get the call for their [url=http://www.alportico.net/page.php?sale=Gucci-Stores]Gucci Stores[/url] teams.
All in
It used to be rookie quarterbacks took their lumps early in their career 鈥?for years, the prevalent thought around the league was to gently groom quarterbacks over several years (see Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay Packers). Recently, the rookie-year successes of quarterbacks like Andy Dalton (Cincinnati Bengals), Andrew Luck (Indianapolis Colts), and Robert Griffin III (Washington Redskins) have changed the minds of many football coaches and general managers.
For Allen and McKenzie, this might be their final opportunity to prove to Raiders owner Mark Davis that they are the minds to lead the franchise on the field. For two years in a row now, they鈥檝e brought in new quarterbacks that have not panned out as expected. Their reputations as evaluators of talent are on the line. If they miss with Carr, it would be three strikes at football鈥檚 most important position, and 鈥淗elp Wanted鈥?signs will be posted at Raiders headquarters.
Pedigree
Carr has the raw tools to succeed at the position, mainly an NFL-caliber rifle for an arm, with the ability to make every throw on the field, and the velocity to put the ball in tight windows, accurately.
What Carr will have to prove is an ability to handle pressure. The big when he speared Fresno State鈥檚 pass-happy attack was his poise under pressure and blitzes, where he showed a tendency to bail out of plays, throw off his back foot and lose accuracy.
With the mental aspect of the game, and in particular the game planning and preparation, Carr benefits greatly from the experience [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Saks-Louboutin]Saks Louboutin[/url] of his older brother, David Carr, a former No. 1聽overall pick by Schaub鈥檚 old team, the Houston Texans.
David Carr ultimately washed out in Houston, the victim of a poor team with a horrible offensive line 鈥?he was sacked an NFL-record 76 times in his rookie season. But he eventually experienced what a winning approach looked and felt like, serving as a backup to Eli Manning and the New York Giants on the way to their Super Bowl XLVI victory.
David鈥檚 mentoring of Derek is a benefit, and the Raiders will certainly benefit from the 23-year old Derek approaching the game at wise-beyond-his-years level of maturity and polish. But, will that be good enough?
A tough opening test
The New York Jets defense is no longer the intimidating force it once was, but it still poses a strong test for the Raiders offense and Carr. Plus, first game jitters on the road are nothing to overlook, as well as a three-time zone jump to the east coast.
The [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Michael-Kors-Golden-Oversized-Runway-Watch]Michael Kors Golden Oversized Runway Watch[/url] Raiders will look to have Carr manage the game and get the team into the fourth quarter with a chance to win the game. It won鈥檛 all be on Carr, as the defense needs to do its job, and Carr鈥檚 line and running game need to show up strong too.
Most every NFL game comes down to a handful of plays that make a difference. If Carr can keep the Raiders in it by eliminating mistakes, and come through with a key play or two late, he just may be setting the stage for a Raiders resurgence.
It will take more than one game to give Carr a full evaluation, but for now, for Week One, Carr has the full faith of Allen, McKenzie and Raider Nation. 聽

Comparable sales represent sales at all restaurants, whether operated by the Company or by franchisees, in operation at least thirteen months including those temporarily closed. Some of the reasons restaurants may be temporarily closed include reimaging or remodeling, rebuilding, road construction and natural disasters. Comparable sales exclude the impact of currency translation. Comparable sales are driven by changes in guest counts and average check, which is affected by changes in pricing and product mix. Typically, pricing has a greater impact on average check than [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Handbags-Watch-Sale-Eye-Frames-Tops.html]Gucci Tops[/url] product mix. Management reviews the increase or decrease in comparable sales compared with the same period in the prior year to assess business trends.
The number of weekdays and weekend days can impact our reported comparable sales. In August 2014, this calendar shift/trading day adjustment consisted of one less Thursday and one more Sunday compared with August 2013. The resulting adjustment varied by area of the world, ranging from approximately -0.3% to 0.7%. In addition, the timing of holidays can impact comparable sales.
Information in constant currency is calculated by translating current year results at prior year average exchange rates. Management reviews and analyzes business results excluding the effect of foreign currency translation and bases incentive compensation plans on these results because they believe this better represents the Company’s underlying business trends.
Systemwide sales include sales at all restaurants, whether operated by the Company or by franchisees. While franchised sales are not recorded as revenues by the [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Handbags-Baby-Carrier-Cheap-Purses-Cheap-Sunglasses.html]Cheap Gucci Purses[/url] Company, management believes the information is important in understanding the Company’s financial performance because these sales are the basis on which the Company calculates and records franchised revenues and are indicative of the financial health of the franchisee base.

The Pueblo County Sheriff s Office says the officer, still in uniform but not in a police cruiser, pulled over 26-year-old Christina Furber Monday night in Pueblo West because she was driving erratically.

ST. LOUIS COUNTY聽鈥?A man wanted in the shooting of a St. Louis County police officer on Sunday morning was arrested Tuesday in St. Louis.Eric Fowler,聽27, of the 5400 block of Thrush Avenue in St. Louis, was charged Sunday with first-degree assault on a police officer and armed criminal action.The county officer suffered non-life threatening injuries in the [url=http://www.museosangennaro.com/Public/wdluk.php]Louboutin Shoes UK[/url] shooting just after midnight Sunday.聽Police gave this account of the shooting:Officers were responding to a call received at around midnight in which neighbors reported a disturbance at a house in the 5800 block of Eagle Valley Drive聽in unincorporated St. Louis County. Neighbors [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/gucciusaonlineoutlet.php] cheap gucci[/url] said a man was attempting to enter the address, and one caller added that a female was seen running out of the rear of the home.When officers arrived, they saw a man who quickly entered a gray Dodge Avenger and backed the car out of the parking space.After officers approached the car to speak with the driver, the vehicle stopped and the driver fired several gunshots at the officers.

WILMETTE 鈥⒙燜our minutes into the third quarter, it looked as if Edwardsville was on its way to upsetting one of the best teams in the state.But Loyola, the Class 8A runner-up last season, proved to be tough to put away as the Ramblers erased a 21-point deficit in the final 17 minutes to earn a 29-28 win in overtime.”I really don’t know what happened,” said sophomore defensive end A.J. Epenesa, who put the Tigers up 14-0 with his 43-yard interception return for a touchdown midway through the first quarter. “Everybody did their job, and we all gave it our best shot.”We had a great start, and everything went our way in the first half.”The Tigers, who are No. 3 in the Associated Press Class 8A rankings, led the top-ranked Ramblers (2-0) 21-0 at intermission. They then started the third quarter by intercepting their sixth pass of the game on Loyola’s first series.聽Like it did at times in the [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/guccioutlet.onlinesalecc.php]Gucci Outlet Store[/url] first two quarters, Edwardsville (1-1) couldn’t take advantage of the turnover. Unlike the first half, the Ramblers made the Tigers pay for it.聽With junior backup quarterback Emmett Clifford replacing starting senior DJ Melsheimer, Loyola scored on three of its first four possessions of the second half. Clifford provided the tying touchdown on a 6-yard run with 3 minutes, 35 seconds remaining in regulation.聽”It was the worst half of football we’ve ever played,” Loyola coach John Holecek said. “Our offense was pretty bad, but our defense kept us in the game.”After the Tigers scored on their first series of OT on senior Dan Marinko’s 5-yard pass to senior receiver Isaiah Michl, Clifford answered with a touchdown pass on fourth-and-5. The Ramblers elected to run a fake on the PAT, and senior holder Aidan Walsh connected with senior linebacker Brian O’Brien for the game-winning, two-point conversion.聽”We’re getting closer to where we want to be,” Edwardsville coach Matt Martin said. “We’re knocking on the door.”Six players had interceptions for Edwardsville, including two by junior safety Jourdyn Jones, but the Tigers only managed 21 points off of eight total takeaways. They also struggled [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/gucciusaonlineoutlet.php]gucci outlet[/url] to run the ball, especially in the second half, totaling 35 yards on 20 attempts.”This game was about turnovers and capitalizing on those turnovers,” said Martin, whose team committed two turnovers in the second half, neither of which led to points. “They adjusted well defensively in the second half, and we didn’t run the ball up the middle well.”Edwardsville is hoping to be the first team from outside the Chicago area since 1991 to win the big-school state title. East St. Louis finished first in Class 6A that season.”We will use this as a learning experience and grow from it,” Martin said. “You [url=http://www.alportico.net/gosoc.php] true religion sale[/url] don’t have to go undefeated to win a state championship. If we are mature and learn from this, we can get better.”Waterloo 27, Columbia 24 (OT)聽鈥⒙燫ick Wiegand scored on a 10-yard run in overtime to lead the Bulldogs to a key road win.Wiegand scored all four touchdowns for Waterloo including a pair of short runs late in the first half to give his team a 21-14 lead.Columbia tied the game on a 38-yard scoring toss from Jacob Hill to Lou Isringhaus in the third period.The Eagles took a 24-21 lead in overtime on a 27-yard field goal by Greg Long.Orchard Farm 49, Liberty 6聽鈥⒙燗rmand Keely ran for 163 yards and three scores to lead the Eagles to a win at home.Keeley scored on runs of 44, 40, 21 in a 2 minute 24 second-span in the first quarter to stake his team to 21-0 lead.Tyler Westerfeld ran for two touchdowns and 98 yards for the winners. He also kicked seven extra points.Orchard Farm led 35-6 at half.

Team USA has clinched Group C with a 106-71 victory over the Dominican Republic Wednesday afternoon. The DR was playing without its star, , but still played the U.S. strangely close in the first [url=http://www.radiorcs.com/page.php?sale=Jimmy-Choo-Ramona-Handbag]Jimmy Choo Boots Sale[/url] quarter, trailing by only three. The U.S. broke it open in the second quarter by out-scoring the Dominican Republic by 12, and then turned the game into a Grade A blowout by the third quarter with a [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Louboutin-Dallas]Louboutin Dallas[/url] 22-0 run. Team USA is now 4-0 with one game remaining left in group play before things start getting serious in the single-elimination knockout stage.
OK, so we only really care about here, yeah? Well, in a continuation of a trend throughout the tournament, Rose didn’t look particularly good.聽He finished 2-for-5 with six points and three assists in 13 minutes of play. He threw a few more jump passes, didn’t seem to be moving very well, had some trouble holding onto the slicker FIBA ball and failed to throw down a [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Michael-Kors-Astor-Satchel]Michael Kors Bags[/url] (maybe underthrown) alley-oop that would have brought the house down.
A Thurston County man was sentenced to six years and seven months in prison after pouring lighter fluid on his wife s legs and igniting it in 2011.Duane M. Rader was originally found guilty of first-degree arson, felony harassment, unlawful imprisonment and fourth-degree assault and sentenced to 10 years in prison in March of 2012, with the court acquitting him of first-degree attempted murder charges.The sentence was overturned by the Washington State Court of Appeals in January of this year because the court improperly calculated his offender score during the original trial.At a court appearance Tuesday, he pleaded guilty to the same charges first-degree arson, felony harassment, unlawful imprisonment and fourth-degree assault in addition to three charges of violating a no-contact order.The charges [url=http://www.radiorcs.com/page.php?sale=Ugg-&-Jimmy-Choo]Ugg & Jimmy Choo[/url] stem from a Feb. 13, 2011 assault that left Rader s wife with second-degree burns on her legs. She initially told Thurston County Sheriff s deputies that she was trying to refill her lighter and accidentally lit her legs on fire, according to charging documents. The deputies didn t arrest Rader at the time because they weren t sure what had happened.The woman repeated the story later that month.But on Aug. 2, 2011, the woman contacted deputies again and told them that she had separated from Rader and wanted to tell the truth about what happened in February, according to court papers. She told deputies that Rader had been drinking heavily and slammed her head on the kitchen counter, knocking her to the floor. He then poured lighter fluid on [url=http://www.radiorcs.com/page.php?sale=Kate-Spade-Black-Leather-Purse]Kate Spade Sale[/url] her legs and tossed a match on them, according to court papers. The incident took place in front of her 11-year-old daughter. She said Rader told her not to tell deputies what had happened because he would go to jail and lose his army career.Rader was later arrested.At the Tuesday hearing, Thurston County Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Craig Juris told Judge Anne Hirsch that the victim didn t want to appear in court or be part of another trial. It is in her best interest and in her daughter s best interest that this not go to trial again, Juris said.Rader was later charged with three counts of violating a no-contact order after calling his wife from the Thurston County Jail three times before the trial.He has been at Airway Heights Corrections Center since the 2011 trial. His attorney, Patrick O Connor, said Rader has been working to earn a college degree and better himself. I think it shows some dedication on his side to make some changes so he doesn t find himself in this situation again, O Connor said.He explained that Rader served in the Army for 15 years and completed three overseas tours. The experience left him with post-traumatic stress disorder, and he self-medicated with alcohol, O Connor said.But Hirsch argued that post-traumatic stress disorder isn t an excuse for committing violent crimes. Although that was an awful experience for you, I don t believe that PTSD causes domestic violence, Hirsch said.Hirsch decided to accept the sentencing recommendation of 6 years, seven months in prison for the first-degree arson charge, which is outside of the standard sentencing range of five years, one month. She awarded the exceptional sentence because victim s child was present during the incident. I can see that what you did was terrifying and awful for your victim and the child that was present, Hirsch said.Rader was also sentenced to one year and nine months for felony harassment and [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Louboutin-Daffodile]Christian Louboutin Clearance[/url] unlawful imprisonment, and one year for fourth-degree assault and the three violating a no-contact order charges. He will serve the sentences concurrent with the first-degree arson sentence.

Given the complaining about President Obama鈥檚 dilemma in the Middle East 鈥?not exactly aided by his earlier admission that his administration lacked a 鈥渟trategy鈥?for dealing with the Islamic militants who during the summer took over something like a third of Iraq 鈥?you might expect Congress to come forward with some specific ideas on what [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Belts-Online-Real-Men-Sunglasses-Ties.html]Gucci Belts Online[/url] the United States ought to do. Don鈥檛 expect much.
If some lawmakers do suggest further intervention by the United States beyond airstrikes, they better have a good idea of how they鈥檙e going to pay for it and who will fight it. We don鈥檛 need to be cutting taxes and putting our military in harm鈥檚 way while the rest of us remain at home waving flags and proclaiming our support for the troops while resisting any of the sacrifices that might be required of the American homefront.
By now, Congress sure ought to be able to come up with a package to deal with the border crisis, including the care and possible returning of more than 60,000 youths who practically strolled into the United States from violence-ridden countries in Central America.
Many House Republicans have pretty much warned the president not to do anything on immigration 鈥?particularly allowing millions of undocumented workers to stay in the country 鈥?but then they better huddle with Senate Democrats to come up with at least some alternative. And if [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Belts-Online-Fedora-Watches-Ladies-Cheap-Wallet.html]Cheap Gucci Wallet[/url] the two sides can鈥檛 agree after years of research and debate on this issue 鈥?since at least 2007 鈥?then it will be hard to blame this president for taking action on his own. (Obama now says he鈥檒l wait till after elections.)
Unfortunately, pressing issues such as the conquest of northern Iraq by the Islamic State and immigration along our nation鈥檚 southern border will probably get no more than lip service. Democrats eyeing their prospects of losing the Senate reportedly will push such middle-class issues as student loans and the minimum wage. Republicans will seek to condemn the president for his handling of the Bowe Bergdahl-Taliban prisoner swap, even as the Middle East burns with beheadings, crucifixions and beatings.
Hopefully, Congress will pass a short-term continuing resolution to keep the government operating beyond Sept. 30 鈥?even Republicans pushing last year鈥檚 government shutdown will think twice of such dramatic and costly gestures before elections. And Congress reportedly will extend the Export-Import Bank鈥檚 authorization, at least on a short-term basis. The issue is one that has divided Republicans, so in essence they鈥檒l put off the matter till, [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Sale-Purses-Sale-Sale-Handbags-Cheap-Clothing.html]Cheap Gucci Clothing[/url] yes, the elections are over.
Which gets to the real problem in Washington. Politicians anymore are in a perpetual state of campaigning 鈥?and too many Americans haven鈥檛 grasped this failure.

Matthew Smiley, 18, of Kingston, appeared in Kitsap County Superior District Court [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/guccioutlet.onlinesalecc.php]Gucci Outlet[/url] Monday. (Photo: KCPQ-TV)
PORT ORCHARD, Wash. The Kitsap County Sheriff s Office said Tuesday it had arrested four people for allegedly threatening witnesses in their case against 18-year-old Matthew Smiley, who is accused of threatening to shoot up Kingston High School.
Three of the arrests occurred between 12:30 p.m. and 1:30 p.m. Tuesday at Kingston High School. The fourth arrest occurred in Bremerton around 3:30 p.m., the sheriff s office said.
Sheriff鈥檚 detectives became aware of the threats to witnesses from NK School District officials earlier today and initiated the follow-up investigation. Specific threats to harm several individuals were made via social media, the sheriff s office said.
Smiley appeared in Kitsap County District Court on Monday, where a [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/gucciusaonlineoutlet.php] cheap gucci[/url] judge set bail at $2 million for the former Kingston High student.
According to the sheriff s office, an investigation was started last Thursday after a 911 call made by Kingston High School security officers, who reported that witnesses had contacted them and said a former student had voiced threats to others that, One of these days I m gonna walk in and shoot up the school.
The threats to cause violence at KHS were reportedly made on more than one occasion. Witnesses also reported that the young man had access to firearms [url=http://www.alportico.net/prodotti/christianlouboutin-sale.jkmsw.php]Christian Louboutin Shoes[/url] and had displayed these weapons as a point of emphasis, the sheriff s office said.
Deputies and detectives learned that the suspect, Smiley, had been expelled from the high school during the 2013 鈥?2014 academic year for trying to sell marijuana.
The suspect was booked into Kitsap County Jail on charges of felony harassment and unlawful possession of a firearm.
As expected, after Eli Manning had another interception party as the New York Giants lost to the Detroit Lions, the memes and jokes focused on his link to Tony Romo [url=http://www.alportico.net/page.php?sale=Gucci-Money-Clip]Gucci Money Clip[/url] while also mentioning how Calvin Johnson makes Matthew Stafford look like a superstar.
But as always, the center of attention is the quarterback who did worse, which happens to be Manning. A year after leading the league in interceptions and a day after Romo was intercepted three times against the 49ers, Manning put [url=http://www.radiorcs.com/page.php?sale=Kate-Spade-Bon-Shopper]Kate Spade Sale[/url] on an awful performance of his own. It didn t help that his offensive line looked terrible. Manning has been playing this badly for some time now.
And then there were the Lions. Stafford had to do quite a bit of scrambling at times to beat the pass rush, but it usually worked out well for him. It helps to have the best wide receiver in the NFL at your side, someone the allegedly improved Giants secondary couldn t handle for very long.
Tom Coughlin didn t have a single good thing to say about his team s performance as they opened the season with a [url=http://www.radiorcs.com/page.php?sale=Jimmy-Choo-For-Uggs]Jimmy Choo For Uggs[/url] loss. A striking resemblance to the preseason or last season. Knowing what your problems are doesn t mean you ll be able to fix them.

Langham led an Audubon study that examined more than 500 bird species and determined that more than 300 in Canada and the United States face large climate shifts that could reduce their habitat by half or more by 2080. The changing environment will force birds to adapt to new habitats with different temperature and precipitation rates if they are to survive.
The first comprehensive species study of its kind, it will be used to help federal wildlife officials develop improved strategies to conserve bird species, whose abundance and migratory patterns depend on specialized habitats, such as forests, grasslands and coastal areas.
By 2080, the bald eagle, the national symbol of the United States, could see its habitat decrease by 75 percent, the report says.
All of the habitat of the common loon, the state bird [url=http://www.alportico.net/gosoc.php]true religion jeans[/url] of Minnesota, could disappear in the lower 48 states. In Southern California, the black oystercatcher may abandon coastal areas for more suitable climes in British Columbia and Alaska.
Other U.S. bird species that could face climate shifts that sharply reduce their habitat include the American avocet, the eared grebe, the trumpeter swan, the white-headed woodpecker and the chestnut-collared longspur.
What could be missing along with those birds and their ecological niches are their very presence and songs 鈥?crucial components of our daily lives and the cultural fabric of our communities, Langham said.
The study was funded in part by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Its projections will help inform the service s migratory bird management objectives and landscape conservation planning, said spokeswoman Laury Parramore.
Previous climate studies involving North American birds have focused on a few species with limited habitats. For this study, Langham and a team of Audubon ornithologists analyzed 30 years of historical North American climate data.
The team examined tens of thousands of records from the U.S. Geological Survey s American Breeding Bird Survey and the Audubon Christmas Bird Count, which for more than a century has collected data on bird populations across the nation.
The study also used climate projections from a 2007 report by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which said scientists best estimate was that temperatures would rise 3.2 to 7.8 degrees by 2100. In contrast, the [url=http://www.alportico.net/gosoc.php]true religion jeans[/url] increase from 1901 to 2005 was 1.2 degrees.
The data was used to project geographic distributions for 588 North American bird species during both the breeding and non-breeding seasons under a variety of scenarios through the end of the century.
Each species was assigned a climate sensitivity status based on overall climactic suitability.
The study defined species as climate endangered if they were projected to lose more than half of their current habitat by 2050, without gain from potential expansion.
Climate threatened species could lose more than half of their habitat by 2080, but have the potential for habitat expansion.
Climate stable species may lose less than half of their current habitat by 2080.
The study suggests that 126 species are climate endangered because the climate of their entire habitat will probably change in 65 years. Another 188 other species are considered climate threatened.
Relatively few bird species in those categories, however, are now viewed as conservation priorities by wildlife organizations and government agencies, the study says.
For example, Baird s sparrow could lose more than 95 percent of its current range by 2080. Yet, it is listed as a species of least concern on the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List, the most comprehensive information source on the global conservation status of more than 10,000 bird [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/gucciusaonlineoutlet.php]gucci outlet[/url] species.
Stuart Butchart, who manages the list and is head of science at BirdLife International, a conservation group based in Cambridge, England, said the study results are troubling. But he said it wouldn t directly translate into changes to the list.
It does give us a first understanding of how climate change is likely to impact such a range of species, he said.
Despite the dire projections, Langham said he hoped that through concerted actions now the worst-case future scenarios could be avoided.
It s not easy being a bird 鈥?and things are going to get harder still, he said. But if you give nature half a chance, she responds.

CRESTED BUTTE, Colo. (CBS4/AP) – Bud Light鈥檚 controversial Whatever, USA festival in Crested Butte was a success, according to a town leader.
Anheuser-Busch paid $500,000 to paint several blocks of a central street blue and otherwise temporarily revamp the town into fictional Whatever, USA, for its Up for Whatever campaign.
Crested Butte Chief Marshal Tom Martin said the event went really well and there were only four arrests Saturday night.
We prepared for the worst and we got the best, Martin said. 鈥淚 ve lived here 37 years and this previous weekend was one [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Sale-Authentic-Wholesale-Heels-Phone.html]Cheap Gucci Sale[/url] of the coolest weekends I ve ever been here.
Despite some residents being opposed to the town allowing the Bud Light event in their town, Martin said he thought most people had a good time.
The majority of people here are really happy that it happened, he said.
However there were some problems after the event ended. The more than 1,000 people who flew in to the small Colorado resort town for the filming of the Anheuser-Busch s Bud Light commercial had problems leaving the party Sunday evening.
The company said the travel delays stemmed from a large number of people trying to depart the Gunnison-Crested Butte Regional Airport after the two-day event.
PHOTO GALLERY:
With more than 1,200 consumers attending Whatever, USA, from all points across the country, it takes time to get through a smaller airport, Nick Kelly, a Bud Light spokesman, said in a statement. We have a process in place to have all of our guests make the return trip home as safely and smoothly as possible.
Kelly said the company [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Handbags-Outlet-Ski-Goggles-Mane-Clothing-For-Toddlers.html]Gucci For Toddlers[/url] offered to pay for accommodations for those miss connecting flights because of delays, but everybody was able to travel later Sunday night.
A private security company fell behind on screening requirements for travelers leaving on chartered planes, Transportation Security Administration spokesman Ross Feinstein told .
Some visitors complained about the delay on social media.
I don t know exactly what happened, McKenna Reagan, from St. Paul Minn., told the newspaper. I know a lot of people were upset.
Before the delays, some residents of the town didn t take too kindly to the secretive event arranged between Anheuser-Busch and town leaders but others embraced it.
Martin said Bud Light was tremendous to work with and so was their security company, Patriot USA.
Crested Butte, population 1,500, is more of a craft beer town, home to art [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Discount-Purse-Outlet-Suitcase-Vintage-Bag.html]Vintage Gucci Bag[/url] galleries, artists and second-home owners. There are no fast food restaurants or chain stores.
For the weekend event, workers installed a sand volleyball court, a multistory cowboy boot statue, a gorilla and a director s chair that comfortably seats six people.

It came down to two players this week, one who showed us all that he is who we thought he is. The other wound up proving to us that is more than we may have expected.
The runner up this week is , who played with determination and was effective almost every time he touched the ball. He had 118 yards on 22 carries. And this is not a statistic [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Outlet-Online-Seattle-Coats-Boots-Women.html]Gucci Seattle[/url] that was padded by one or two breakaway runs. The longest carry he had was for 15 yards. No, Murray was getting good, effective yards almost every time he touched the ball.
Of course, he also had one very, very bad play, when the ball was torn from his arms and run in for a touchdown by the 49ers. That play, just 54 seconds into the game, was certainly a shock to the Cowboys, and turned out to be the beginning of flood of first quarter miscues. Murray also was part of two other sequences that contributed to the general malaise that afflicted Dallas, although his involvement was in how he was not used.聽, the second-and-one call at SF 2 yard line. Had the Cowboys done the smart thing, not the clever thing, and fed Murray the ball, the game would likely have been tied. Then, in the second quarter, with first and goal at the 5, Dallas again went to the pass and it led to an interception. Even on their second touchdown play late in the game, Dallas was passing from the 2 yard line rather than running it in. Murray continues to prove what he can do – to everyone, it seems, but the coaching staff, who apparently doubt his ability at crucial [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Outlet-Cheap-Bags-Sale-Crossbody.html]Gucci Sale[/url] moments.
So the game ball goes to another player, one who there were many doubts about going into the game, but who answered them with hard, effective play and some bone-jarring hits. The first BTB game ball of 2014 goes to middle linebacker , who tied with for the team lead in tackles at eight. More to the point, he clearly answered the questions about his motivations. His play was not perfect, but he showed up in聽 as Dallas’ second-highest rated defensive player (behind ). More importantly was the way he leveled a couple of people coming through the line. His talent was never questioned, but many had strong doubts that McClain really had his head straight after retiring from football twice. Instead, he looked and played for much of the game like he was the best athlete and player on the field for Dallas’ defense.
On Sunday, he looked like he was fully committed to playing the game. He even had to play the nickel after Justin Durant went out with a groin strain. His performance overall looked to be about as much as the Cowboys could want from someone having to step in to cover for the injured Sean Lee. Dallas looks to have found a keeper, and the question about what to do at the Mike position is answered. In a game that left so many [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Belts-Online-Discount-Sunglasses-Gabbana-Wholesale-Handbags.html]Gucci Gabbana[/url] other questions unanswered, and even brought up a couple of new ones, the emphatic way McClain took care of the questions around him and his position earn him the Game Ball for the first game of 2014.

Apparently no fan of conspiracy theories, Jeff Fisher called speculation that Shaun Hill was benched and wasn鈥檛 really injured 鈥渁bsurd鈥?during his Monday media session.鈥淭o clarify things once again, Shaun Hill strained a quad in the second quarter, and that was the [url=http://www.alportico.net/prodotti/christianlouboutin-sale.jkmsw.php]Christian Louboutin[/url] reason he did not return,鈥?Fisher said.Fisher said Hill鈥檚 status is day-to-day this week but if healthy, he will start this Sunday at Tampa Bay.鈥淭here鈥檚 no issue there,鈥?Fisher said. 鈥淪haun鈥檚 our quarterback, so if he鈥檚 healthy he starts. And that鈥檒l be the case throughout the season.鈥漇everal factors made the halftime quarterback change seem curious in the Rams鈥?34-6, season-opening loss to Minnesota. For one, Davis was already in for a few plays at the start of the second half before it was announced that Hill had a quad 鈥?or thigh 鈥?injury.鈥?RAMS CHAT: For another, there was no definitive play where Hill appeared to get injured, at least to the naked eye.鈥淭ypically, quad strains are the result of running,鈥?Fisher said. 鈥淚t was not a contusion. It was not impact. It started to get sore earlier in the game as he was escaping pressure.鈥滷isher said he made the decision to go with Davis with input from Hill.鈥淲e discussed it in the locker room at halftime,鈥?Fisher said. 鈥淲e discussed it after we came out on the field. He wanted to play, but he felt 鈥?he was in agreement with me 鈥?that the best thing for the immediate future here next week or the week to follow would be that he didn鈥檛 make it any worse.鈥淏ecause if you make it any worse, then you鈥檙e looking at a significant amount of (missed) play time.鈥滷isher said Hill wasn鈥檛 upset about the quarterback change. 鈥淗e totally understood,鈥?Fisher said. 鈥淵ou know, he actually tried to throw that ball away.鈥滷isher was referring to Hill鈥檚 costly interception near the end of the first half.鈥淗e wasn鈥檛 trying to throw it to Cookie (tight end Jared Cook),鈥?Fisher said. 鈥淗e lacked the lower-body strength to make the throw. That was a concern of his.鈥漇crambling right to evade the Minnesota pass rush, Hill threw off his back foot into double coverage near the Rams鈥?sideline. Nickel back Josh Robinson made a leaping interception at the St. Louis 35, and the Vikings converted the takeaway into a touchdown right before the half to take a 13-0 lead.Hill didn鈥檛 appear to be limping when he came out in the second half and was still in uniform with no ice on the leg or any kind of wrap to be seen.鈥淗e felt like he could take a shotgun snap and throw the ball if we had [url=http://www.alportico.net/prodotti/christianlouboutin-sale.jkmsw.php]Christian Louboutin Online[/url] an issue with Austin,鈥?Fisher said. 鈥淪o therefore, we kept him dressed and kept him on the sideline.鈥漀o. 3 quarterback Case Keenum was on the pregame inactive list.Hill declined to answer questions from reporters about the injury after the game, referring all queries to Fisher. He even declined to say how the injury occurred. That only fueled speculation that something was amiss.When Fisher met with reporters early Monday evening, he said he was unaware of any conspiracy theory rumblings about Hill being benched, not injured.鈥淚鈥檓 telling you the truth,鈥?Fisher said. 鈥淚鈥檝e never, never messed around with the quarterback situation my entire career. I鈥檓 speaking truthfully. He had a quad strain, and I took him out of the game, period.鈥淥n the depth chart, he鈥檚 clearly ahead of Austin Davis. It鈥檚 not a negative commentary on Austin, but (Hill) gives us the best chance to win. If he can鈥檛 go, then Austin steps up and then he gives us the best chance to win.鈥滲ut as for conspiracy theories?鈥淭hat鈥檚 absurd,鈥?Fisher said.As he spoke Monday, Fisher wasn鈥檛 sure if Hill would be able to practice Wednesday, when the team returns to practice. The plan is to give Davis more work this week with the starters, just in case.Making his first start since 2010, Hill started the game by completing his first five passes but completed only three of his final eight to end the half. The misses in order:鈥?Running back Zac Stacy dropped a screen pass that could鈥檝e gone for good yardage on the Rams鈥?second possession.鈥?Flushed out of the pocket and under pressure, he threw away a pass on a play in which Kenny Britt was the nearest receiver early in the second quarter.鈥?Referee Ed Hochuli picked up a flag on what appeared to be an illegal contact or pass interference penalty on a deep ball to Brian Quick on the Rams鈥?fourth series.鈥?[url=http://www.museosangennaro.com/Public/anel.php] Christian Louboutin Shoes Sale[/url] Two plays later, on a miscommunication between Britt and Hill, Hill threw deep and Britt cut his route off short. The ball hit the turf well beyond anyone on the field.鈥?And then came the interception.So you could make the case that the only truly bad throw by Hill in the first half was the interception.鈥淪haun was effective,鈥?Fisher said. 鈥淗e made plays. They pressured him; we expected them to pressure him as anybody would a backup quarterback.鈥淏ut I thought he was effective. You saw the throws he made. The timing throws that he made. He was under pressure. We had a protection issue. … But I thought had he stayed in game we would鈥檝e had a chance.鈥淩ealistically speaking, we鈥檙e two plays away from going into the locker room at halftime 6-3. Make a field goal, throw that (interception) away. Punt it away. Even with 2 minutes left to go in the third quarter, we鈥檙e down 10. You normally think you鈥檇 have a shot with the veteran quarterback.鈥滻t was 6-0 and not 6-3 before the Hill interception and the resulting Minnesota TD because Greg Zuerlein barely missed a 50-yard field goal, wide left, on the Rams鈥?second possession.

DENVER (CBS4) The business of getting people high has produced some high returns for entrepreneurs in Colorado, but some feel like the state s green rush might be coming to an end.
Many in the marijuana industry refer to the explosion in marijuana retailers and pot-based outfits as the green rush.
Those in the business say they have made their money by [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Sale-Online-Robe-Discount-Cheap-Bag.html]Cheap Gucci Bag[/url] hard work, not just being in the right state at the right time. But some in the industry aren t certain the climate here is ripe for many more success stories.
I don t know if that s the case that you could have new people jump in and be very successful because that market s pretty saturated and it s got a lot of established operators, said Kayvan Khalatbari, a marijuana store on South Broadway in Denver.
But it certainly can be very profitable.
CBS4 s Suzanne McCarroll interviews Kayvan Khalatbari. (credit: CBS)
Khalatbari operates Denver Relief. He told CBS4 he started consuming cannabis as a teen, and that it helped him deal with anxiety in high school.
Khalatbari also operates a cannabis magazine called Birdy, a standup comedy showcase called Sexpot Comedy which has marijuana-friendly shows and Sexy Pizza, a chain of pizzerias where part of the proceeds go to drug education.
I don t think I jumped in like a lot of people did, I eased in, he said.

As of July, 46 jurisdictions are either meeting or have committed to meeting the standards of the Real ID Act.
鈥⒙燬econd, the Real ID Act doesn t create a national database of [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/guccioutlet.onlinesalecc.php]Gucci Shoes[/url] information.
Nowhere in the Real ID Act itself or in its subsequent regulation is there a provision to create a national database, nor does it grant the federal government or law enforcement greater access to bureau of motor vehicles data.
鈥⒙燭hird, the editorial noted that one of the goals of the Real ID Act is to determine who is in the country illegally.
The Real ID Act has little to do with immigration. Rather, it requires states to confirm the identity and lawful status of applicants who do not have access to the same documents [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/michaelkorssonline.php] michael kors sale[/url] as U.S. citizens.
鈥⒙燗dditionally, it does allow for the issuance of driver s licenses for illegal immigrants, and Real ID-compliant states have been able to do so (such as Maryland).
The Real ID Act established a voluntary list of standards aimed at making it more difficult for an individual to fraudulently obtain valid government-issued identification.
Despite the criticisms of an Orwellian state, the Real ID Act actually expands privacy protections.
It requires security upgrades for motor vehicle agencies that hold your personal data and background checks for the motor vehicle agency employees who have access to it, a necessary step to protect against insider fraud. Given the increases in privacy, a better question to ask [url=http://www.museosangennaro.com/Public/anel.php] Christian Louboutin Shoes Outlet[/url] is: Why hasn t Maine moved forward like the rest of the country?

MILWAUKEE (WITI) A respiratory virus has sent hundreds of children to hospitals, and it s causing alarm across the Midwest and beyond. Ten states have contacted the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for help investigating clusters of the virus that鈥檚 being blamed for the illness.
Health officials say they鈥檙e still working to figure out what鈥檚 going on.
The bug that appears to be causing most of the concern has a typically arcane name 鈥?Enterovirus EV-D68 鈥?but many of its symptoms are very common.
Enteroviruses, which bring on symptoms like a very intense cold, aren鈥檛 unusual. They鈥檙e actually very common.
When you have a bad summer cold, often what you have is an enterovirus, said Mark Pallansch, a virologist and director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention鈥檚 Division of Viral Diseases.
There are more than 100 types of enteroviruses causing about 10 to 15 million infections in the United States each year, according to the CDC. They are carried in the intestinal tract and often spread to other parts of the body.
The season often hits its peak in September, as summer ends and fall begins.
So why all the concern now?聽What鈥檚 unusual at the moment is the high number of hospitalizations.
There aren t any cases in Wisconsin currently, [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Discount-Skull-Cap-Discount-Wallets-Dress-Shirts.html]Gucci Discount[/url] but there s concern we could see cases here in the near future.
In Colorado, nearly 900 children were treated for the illness, but the good news is that it s not typically deadly.
It can be severe in the asthmatic and the allergy kids population, Dr. Angela Tonozzi, the Director of Infection Prevention at Aurora Healthcare said.
Dr. Tonozzi says while there are no cases in Wisconsin currently, doctors here are prepared.
This is viral respiratory season, so we prepare for Enterovirus as we do every late summer/early fall, Dr. Tonozzi said.
An [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Handbags-Outlet-Vintage-Shopping-Bag-Optical.html]Gucci Shopping Bag[/url] analysis by the CDC showed at least 30 Kansas City children tested positive for EV-D68, Missouri health officials said.
It鈥檚 a type of enterovirus that鈥檚 uncommon, but not new.
It was first identified in the 1960s and there have been fewer than 100 reported cases since that time. But it鈥檚 possible that the relatively low number of reports might be because EV-D68 is hard to identify.
EV-D68 was seen last year in the United States and this year in various parts of the world. Over the years, clusters have been reported in Georgia, Pennsylvania, Arizona and various countries including the Philippines, Japan and the Netherlands.
The virus can start as just a cold. Signs include coughing, difficulty breathing and in some cases a rash. Sometimes they can be accompanied by fever or wheezing.
Respiratory problems appear to the hallmark of EV-D68, according to the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services.
鈥淢ost enteroviruses cause either a little bit of a cold or a diarrheal illness 鈥?a few cause meningitis,鈥?said William Schaffner, head of the Department of Preventive Medicine at Vanderbilt University. 鈥淭his one is the, if you will, odd cousin. It causes prominent respiratory symptoms. Why it does that, we鈥檙e really not sure.鈥?
Pay attention to the symptoms that your child is having. If they`re having wheezing for the first time that`s a definite symptom you need to go and seek care for or if they`re having wheezing that just won`t go away. If you re having difficulty breathing, you might need some oxygen. You might need some fluids if you get dehydrated and just specialized care and monitoring, Dr. Tonozzi said.
Like other enteroviruses, the respiratory illness appears to spread through close contact with infected people. That makes children more susceptible.
There鈥檚 not a [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Sale-Online-Vintage-Watches-Outlet-Store-Kids-Clothing.html]Gucci Kids Clothing[/url] great deal you can do, health officials say, beyond taking commonsense steps to reduce the risk.
Wash your hands with soap and water for 20 seconds 鈥?particularly after going to the bathroom and changing diapers.
Clean and disinfect surfaces that are regularly touched by different people, such as toys and doorknobs.
Avoid shaking hands, kissing, hugging and sharing cups or eating utensils with people who are sick. And stay home if you feel unwell.
There鈥檚 no vaccine for EV-D68.

Updated at 6 p.m. with closing pricesCHICAGO 鈥?Corn dropped to the lowest in four years as waning prospects for frost damage this week boosted speculation that yields will be bigger than the government forecast in the U.S., the world’s biggest producer.Farmers will harvest 14.276 billion bushels this year, more than the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s August forecast for a record 14.032 billion, a Bloomberg survey of analysts and traders showed. The USDA will update its crop estimates on Thursday. Risk of a damaging freeze later this week is “very low,” Commodity Weather Group said in a report Tuesday.”The old adage is that big crops get bigger,” Matthew Bennett, owner of Windsor, Ill.-based Bennett Consulting, said in a telephone interview. “People [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/michaelkorssonline.php] michael kors handbags[/url] are not worried about running out of corn, even though demand is pretty solid.”Corn futures for December delivery fell 1.1 percent to close at $3.4425 a bushel at 1:15 p.m. on the Chicago Board of Trade. Earlier, the grain touched $3.43, the lowest for a most- [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/clreplicashoes.php]Christian Louboutin Outlet[/url] active contract since June 30, 2010.There is little chance for a damaging hard freeze from cold expected this weekend in far northern Iowa and the Minnesota-Wisconsin border, and “there are no other major frost risks apparent into early October,” Commodity Weather Group in Bethesda, Md., said.The USDA said Monday that 74 percent of the crop was rated in good or excellent condition as of Sept. 7, unchanged from a week earlier and up from 54 percent at the same time last year.

Dan Hunsicker, who lives on 100 acres and farms about 1,000 acres in Lower Macungie, said lifelong farmers like him are in survival mode.He rents multiple properties in three counties and has dozens of landlords. He said it’s getting more difficult to hold on to those properties, and traffic caused by development is making it more difficult to get to and from them. As the bulldozers come, they keep chasing you away, said Hunsicker, 62.A case in point was a property he farmed at Cedar Crest Boulevard and Lower Macungie Road. He stopped using the land when a developer inked an agreement of sale to turn it into 55-and-over housing.He added that the big thing in the industry now is organic farming, work that requires a good back, strong knees and a hefty payroll. At minimum, Hunsicker said, he would have to pay $15 per hour and provide benefits to workers if he shifted to more labor-intensive organic farming that doesn’t use pesticides and herbicides. If I’m going to sell you a tomato for 50 cents, how am I going to make a living? he said. People like me are on the way out in this area, he said. How are you going to put together a large farm if there’s no farmland? The future past me is getting pretty dim. Seeds of growthIn a lengthy report on the Lehigh Valley food economy released in 2013 by Greater Lehigh Valley Buy [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Michael-Kors-Sale-Watches]Michael Kors Sale Watches[/url] Fresh Buy Local, Prior spells out the wide-ranging benefits of retaining farmland and putting it to good use.The report says the local food economy generates about $17 million in economic activity for the region. But the Lehigh Valley only has enough farmland to produce food for 24 percent of its population. Could we feed all of the people in the Lehigh Valley on all of the agricultural land we have? The answer is no, said Becky Bradley, executive director of the Lehigh Valley Planning Commission. We’re going to be an importer of food. That’s certainly an issue we need to address. Prior said a number of groups, collectively calling themselves the Sustainable Communities Consortium, are working to improve the food economy. Her organization, which promotes local produce through newsletters, a website, social media and programs that bring the farm to school, is trying to set up delivery networks for wholesale buyers. A number of organizations are banding together to create a food policy [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Michael-Kors-Outlets]Michael Kors Shoes[/url] council to advance sustainable agriculture.More also is being done to encourage farming as a viable profession, even for people who didn’t grow up on a farm. Lehigh County’s seed farm, a nine-month farmer training program in Upper Milford and Lower Milford townships, has graduated 13 farmers in the past five years. Nine of those now farm in the region.In July, Rodale Institute, which has taken the lead in bringing locally grown food to the Lehigh Valley’s cities, announced it was teaming with St. Luke’s University Health Network to create an organic farm on the network’s Anderson Campus in Bethlehem Township. It is expected to produce more than 44,000 pounds of produce in its first year to feed patients, staff and visitors at St. Luke’s hospitals.Rodale also is helping train new farmers and transition farms from conventional to organic production.On the state level, FarmLink, a Pennsylvania nonprofit that connects farm owners with farmers looking for land, says it was contacted by 288 farmers in 2013 and created 60 potential matches.Zehr and others say local consumers with the mind-set that they can rely on other parts of the country for their food are misguided. A perfect example is what’s happening in California, where a lot of our produce is coming from, he said. There’s a severe drought going on there. They are so dependent on irrigation, and some of that water is disappearing. I just think it’s short-sighted to squander what we have here. Some of the land in Lower Macungie and Upper Macungie has some of the best soil. Many say farming’s future here lies in its ability to meet the needs of city and suburban dwellers. Lehigh Valley consumers have joined the rest of the country in seeking locally grown food and have shown a willingness to pay more for fresh products.Throughout the area, farmers markets are growing in popularity. Although a few have folded in recent years, Prior said, there are still eight farm markets that are going strong. Bieber and others believe the future of farming in the Lehigh Valley will be in smaller, high-value crops that feed people.Jeff Moyer, Rodale’s [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Tory-Burch-Reese-Ballet-Flat]Tory Burch Reese Ballet Flat[/url] farm director, agreed, saying there is an interest in seeing farmland transition from corn and soybeans to consumable crops. The first thing you have to do is make farms profitable, he said. Nobody wants to enter into a career choice where you have to spend a lot of capital [to get started]. We have to make farming as competitive as any other use for that land. Lichtenwalner, whose grandfather and father farmed his land before him, said he would discourage his daughters from taking over for him. He’s managed to squeak out a living but isn’t sure how long he can hold out. I can’t keep going at this level I’m going, he said. There are some times that I have thought, why am I doing this? he said. I tell everybody that when I quit farming, that’s when I’ll make money. Twitter @plester6

(CNN) On May 27, Margaret Awino gave birth to Paul Mukisa with the help of her mother-in-law inside her home in Nabigingo, a small village in eastern Uganda. But instead of joy and jubilation for the birth of [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Outlet-Online-High-Tops-Digital-Watch-Glasses-Men.html]Gucci Digital Watch[/url] her fifth child, the 28-year-old mother was shocked: her newborn son had been born with four legs and four arms.
The family rushed to a nearby district hospital for help but they were quickly referred to Mulago Hospital in the Ugandan capital of Kampala. There, a team of doctors examined the infant and made the diagnosis of parasitic twinning, a variant of conjoint twinning in which one of the twins is not fully developed baby Paul had been born with a full set of arms and legs and another set from a headless and heartless mirror image twin that never fully grew.
The Ugandan doctors ran a series of tests on the eight-limbed newborn which showed that the host and parasitic twin shared part of the pelvic bone. Examinations of Paul s internal organs revealed further abnormalities: his heart was on the right side of his body, instead of the left, while his liver was on the left side as opposed to the right.
After these initial investigations, Paul was discharged home for three months as the surgeons wanted to allow him to grow before performing an operation to separate the twins.
Finally, on August 18, a Ugandan team of three surgeons, three anesthesiologists and two nurses successfully completed a three-hour operation to remove parts of the parasitic twin from the normal body.
The baby was given general anesthesia and the torso and trunk of the parasitic twin which had two arms but no head or heart was detached from the host baby, said Dr Nasser Kakembo, one of the surgeons who carried out the operation.
[url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Discount-Purse-Outlet-Suitcase-Vintage-Bag.html]Gucci Discount[/url] Then we also detached the lower limbs of the parasitic twin from the host, which included disarticulating the right and left lower limbs as they were attached by joints. We controlled the bleeding and fashioned skin flaps to close the resulting wound, he added. There were no intra-operative or post-operative complications and mild blood loss and a precautionary blood transfusion was given.
Paul Mukisa
Three weeks after the surgery, the baby is progressing and breastfeeding well, according to the doctors.
The father and mother were very grateful because at first they thought it was due to witchcraft, and their baby was a laughing stock because of the abnormalities, says Kakembo.
The incidence of conjoined twins is one in 50,000, while parasitic twins are extremely rare. The condition is typically created after one of the twins stops developing at a certain point [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Belts-Sale-Glasses-Wristlets-Usa.html]Gucci Usa[/url] during the pregnancy, and the remnants of that twin merge with the twin that has continued developing.
Back in 2007, an eight-limbed girl in India made global headlines after a team of 30 surgeons successfully completed a mammoth 27-hour operation to remove her parasitic twin.
For the doctors at Mulago Hospital, this was the first time they had ever performed a surgery like this.
We have not had a prior experience with a parasitic twin but we work on many other children with multiple complex multi-organ congenital anomalies such as intestinal, urologic, cardiac, and orthopedic defects, said Kakembo. Although twinning is very rare worldwide, he continued, we have an increased incidence in Africa we [have] seen numerous sets of conjoint twins, five to six sets in the last few years.
Baby Paul Mukisa is still at the hospital and will remain there for the next two weeks, being treated by medics.
Looking ahead, doctors say that they anticipate a healthy baby that may have a wide gait due to the large pelvic bone, and this may require orthopedic reconstruction in the future.

LYONS, Colo. (CBS4) Nearly one year after historic flooding Colorado state leaders celebrated reaching a major milestone in the recovery effort.
Gov. John Hickenlooper, Rep. Cory Gardner and Sen. Mark Udall were among state leaders to officially reopen U.S. Highway 36 at Longmont Dam Road Monday morning.
U.S. Highway 36 open on Monday morning (credit: CBS)
The flooding that began nearly a year ago will be forever etched in Colorado history. But what will also endure [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Outlet-Diaper-Bag-Mens-Boots-1622.html]Cheap Gucci Outlet[/url] is the story of how Coloradans responded, Hickenlooper said in a statement.
Flooding last September washed away stretches of the road between Lyons and Estes Park.
It s the first of more than 20 flood-related repair projects the Colorado Department of Transportation is working on. Construction is nearly complete, but still expect some road closures along Highway 36 through the end of September.
Engineers say the floods taught them a lesson see where the river wants to flow and design the roads around it.
The idea behind this design is to push into the mountain, elevate it in [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Discount-Size-Chart-Outfits-Used-Handbags.html]Gucci Outfits[/url] some cases, but basically have it sit on bedrock, Project Engineer Chris Boespflug said.
According to the governor s office, the floods affected 24 counties and covered more than 2,000 square miles, causing approximately $3 billion in damage. The [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Outlet-Online-Boxer-Briefs-Aviator-Aviators.html]Gucci Outlet Online[/url] state s infrastructure sustained approximately $1.7 billion of the damage.
The floods were responsible for 10 deaths and displaced more than 18,000 people.
We are committed to a 100-percent recovery for local communities. It will take time, but working together with our local, state and federal partners we will continue to build back better and stronger, Hickenlooper said in a statement.
A day of service is planned for the 1-year anniversary of the floods this Saturday where people are encouraged to volunteer on rebuilding projects.

On a United flight on Sunday from Newark to Denver, a passenger fed up with people reclining their seat in front of him, used a $22 device called a knee . It attaches to the tray table of the seat in front of you and prevents the person sitting there from pushing their seat back. He shouldn鈥檛 have even had it on the plane because [url=http://www.museosangennaro.com/Public/wdluk.php]Cheap Christian Louboutin[/url] United and other airlines have banned the device.
聽
Maybe it鈥檚 best if your seat doesn鈥檛 recline at all. (Kent D. Johnson/MCT)
You can probably fill in the rest. The woman in front was furious that she couldn鈥檛 exercise her God-given right to push her seat back. An airline attendant was called, voices were raised, matters got completely out of hand, and eventually the woman threw a glass of water in the guy鈥檚 face.
At that point the flight was diverted to Chicago, the two passengers were told to get off the plane and everyone else plane continued on to Denver. Nicely played everyone.
Frankly, it is tough to pick someone to root for in this spitting match. Who buys a device to lock a seat back? And how entitled do you have to be to get so upset about not being able to recline the seat that you end up getting thrown off the plane?
We can however, with certainty, identify the villain. It is United? Or, if you鈥檇 rather, every single one of those airlines that continues to cram passengers into ever-smaller spaces.
But that鈥檚 not the real problem. I think we鈥檝e all accepted the fact that airline travel has become a cattle call. That getting in and out of your narrow seat is going to require contortionist skills. Most people smile politely and make the best of the incredibly cramped conditions. That鈥檚 just the way it is.
But the reclined seat is the final indignity. Just when you鈥檝e resigned yourself to the tiny bit of air space you鈥檝e been allotted for a trip that will take hours, the person in front of you blithely flips back the seat and takes away another six to eight inches. Just try to get out of your seat [url=http://www.alportico.net/gosoc.php]true religion jeans[/url] and go to the restroom now.
This raises two questions, only one of which is fixable.
First, why do people push their seat back when they know it鈥檚 going to inconvenience the person behind them? Can鈥檛 we appeal to everyone鈥檚 better nature and say, for the good of all, that it would be better if we didn鈥檛 do that.
Sorry, the answer is no. We鈥檝e tried that. I wrote a column about this years ago, and the responses were breathtaking in their sense of entitlement. 鈥淚 NEED to recline my seat,鈥?one man wrote. 鈥淚鈥檓 TIRED.鈥?There were tons of e-mails like that. Every person who ever sat in front of me must have written in. It was a landslide of 鈥渢ough break pal, as long as the seat reclines, I鈥檓 doing it.鈥?
Which brings us to the second question: Why do the seats recline anyway? It鈥檚 not as if the short little push-back makes anyone more comfortable. It鈥檚 six inches at most. You鈥檙e still sitting upright, in a cramped position.
So why do the airlines continue to pretend this is some luxury-liner perk. It鈥檚 not only pointless, it鈥檚 profoundly annoying.
In 2003 the [url=http://www.alportico.net/gosoc.php]true religion jeans[/url] Washington Post wrote a on the inventor of the knee protector, who happened to be a Capitol Hill staffer. Although he said it was a simple matter of 鈥減rotection,鈥?the article made the better call. It is, the story said, 鈥渁 recipe for air rage.鈥?
Actually, that鈥檚 not the real recipe. If the seats were in a fixed, slightly reclined position, none of this would happen. The airlines are 鈥?whether they intend to or not 鈥?promoting this controversy. They can fix it in a week. Just lock up the seats so they don鈥檛 recline. Simple.
Because it鈥檚 clear the current system isn鈥檛 working. For proof let鈥檚 go back to our two passengers. They were sitting in the 鈥渆conomy plus鈥?section, where passengers pay extra for a little more for a little more leg room.
How鈥檇 that work out, United? And how鈥檇 you like the national publicity that there was a near fist fight on one of your flights? Do you think that鈥檚 going to help ticket sales?
You know that would be a smart move? Fix the seats so they don鈥檛 recline. Problem solved. You鈥檙e welcome.

Moving forward, the Giants, who will work on correcting the various breakdowns in their game as they get ready for their home opener against the Cardinals on Sunday, believe they have to have a greater sense of resilience, especially [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Louboutin-Banana]Louboutin Banana[/url] when things don’t go their way. To be totally honest with you, yeah. I’d be lying if I didn’t say that was a concern, safety Antrel Rolle said during his weekly radio segment with WFAN Radio when asked if he thought some guys might be fearing a repeat of last year’s rough beginning. Last year left such a bitter taste in our mouth, you want to get off to an early start so you can erase that memory. The way we looked (Monday) night, we didn’t look good. So how do they fix it? We need more fight, Rolle said. I feel like the team needs more fight, we need more attitude. I feel like we’re lying on our heels a little bit way too much. I think we’re relying on our talent way too much as opposed to going out there and being dominant, being feisty, having that dog. That’s something that you need as a team. Right now, I just don’t see (it). We’re a little bit too lax out there. Linebacker Jon Beason, who like Rolle is a defensive co-captain, agreed. I think we need to have more fun, he said. I think it’s only fun when you’re making plays. Throughout the game when you’re out there and things aren’t going well, what you’re trying to trying to get across to the guys is ‘Hey, someone step up and make a play, man. Let’s have fun.’ Once we make a play, you’re going to get on a roll and start flying around, you’re going to do it together. When you make mistakes, it’s demoralizing. The game earned ESPN a 9.2 overnight rating, down 21 percent from the Eagles-Redskins game in the same window last season, according to the Sports Business Daily.With the first game out of the way, Beason believes the Giants will quickly find out what they’re made of. You can only measure yourself off your last performance. That part of it is yet to be determined, Beason said. We’re going to go in (Wednesday) and be honest, and look at ourselves individually, and ask, ‘OK, where can 5-2 get better? Where were my mistakes? Where was my lack of consistency and execution?’ Own up to it and let’s fix it because Sunday is going to be here and no one’s going to feel sorry for us. REPORT CARD VS. LIONSPASSING OFFENSE: F — Offensive coordinator Ben McAdoo’s belief that the passing game’s preseason woes were in the rearview mirror was nothing more than a pipedream as Eli Manning’s struggles continued. But don’t put all of the blame on the quarterback his receivers didn’t separate with any consistency, he was victimized by some dropped passes and miscommunications, and his offensive line once again failed to protect him.RUSHING OFFENSE: D-minus — After looking so promising in the preseason, the Giants’ running game was stonewalled by the Lions’ defensive front. New York averaged 2.4 yards per carry, with the duo of Rashad Jennings and Andre Williams failing to pass 50 yards a [url=http://www.radiorcs.com/page.php?sale=Kate-Spade-Straw-Tote]Kate Spade Straw Tote[/url] piece of production.PASS DEFENSE: F — While it was probably unrealistic to expect the Giants to shut down wide receiver Calvin Johnson, the constant breakdowns in coverage seemed to come at an alarming pace. Johnson, who finished with seven receptions for 164 yards and two touchdowns, had 131 of his receiving yards by the half. The Lions went mercilessly after safety Stevie Brown. Linebacker Jacquian Williams was inconsistent in coverage as well.RUSH DEFENSE: A — The lone bright spot for the Giants was the run defense, which held Joique Bell and Reggie Bush to 65 yards on 24 carries, and one touchdown. Detroit finished with an average of 2.5 yards-per-carry, as the Giants stuffed four run plays for zero or negative yards.SPECIAL TEAMS: C-plus — The inability to protect on the punt coverage finally caught up with the Giants as Steve Weatherford was nailed for a blocked punt, his plant leg pinned underneath him and his ankle twisted awkwardly. He ended up suffering a high ankle sprain, his status moving forward unknown. Otherwise, the Giants got decent production on punt returns from Preston Parker, who returned two punts for 30 yards.COACHING: F — Offensive coordinator Ben McAdoo told reporters before the game that he saw progress made by the offense during the week of practice, but the reality is that the offense looked just as inconsistent and uncomfortable as it did last year under former offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride. Defensive coordinator Perry Fewell’s defense didn’t look any more settled either. While the run defense was effective, there was very little pass rush, there were breakdowns in the defensive secondary, and the Lions simply [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Michael-Kors-Bag]Michael Kors Bag[/url] had their way with the Giants’ defense all night.

Enterovirus D-68 has been confirmed in many of the children hospitalized for respiratory illness in Chicago and Kansas City, Missouri, where outbreaks started last month.
Ten states, including Oklahoma, have asked the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Belts-Sale-Boot-Authentic-Belt-Wallet.html]Gucci Boot[/url] Prevention to help investigate suspected outbreaks.
The culprit is a rare and powerful strain of a common family of viruses. Enteroviruses are common in summer and can cause respiratory illness, fever, runny noses and rashes, but symptoms are usually mild or unnoticeable, according to the CDC.
What is unusual about this strain is how many sufferers have ended up in the hospital, said Chris Van Deusen, spokesman for the Texas Department of State Health Services.
鈥淏ecause it is less common, there鈥檚 less research and less information,鈥?he said.
Enterovirus is such a common ailment that it is not typically reported to state or federal authorities.
More than 475 children were hospitalized with suspected enterovirus late last month at Children鈥檚 Mercy [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Sale-By-Swim-Trunks-Authentic-Bag.html]Gucci By Gucci[/url] Hospital in Kansas City.
A CDC sample of 22 specimens from the hospital came up with 19 positive for enterovirus D68.
Thirteen of those had previous histories of asthma or respiratory illness.
Kelly Craine, spokeswoman for the Waco-McLennan County Public Health District, said the district stays in contact with physicians, hospitals and school nurses about infectious diseases but has seen no indication of enterovirus or other flulike illnesses in circulation during the past two weeks.
Still, she said local health officials are watching the enterovirus outbreak in other states.
鈥淎ny time you have children or high-risk people presenting with those kinds of symptoms, it鈥檚 always a concern and always something we want to know about,鈥?she said.
Scott Clark, spokesman for Baylor Scott White, said the health [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Discount-Www-Com-Bags-Authentic-Handbag-Bracelet-Watch.html]Gucci Bracelet Watch[/url] care system hasn鈥檛 seen any indications of an outbreak in its Central Texas facilities, including Baylor Scott White Hillcrest Medical Center in Waco.

ALEXANDRIA, Va. 鈥?In some ways, Rebecca Wright doesn t understand all the fuss over her 96-year-old mother s recent marriage. After all, she says, Anybody who wants to get married must have a little dementia.
The courts, though, and some of Wright s other relatives aren t amused. And the future for newlyweds Edith Hill, 96, and Eddie Harrison, 95, is very much uncertain.
The two have been companions for more than a decade after a Hollywood-style meet-cute 鈥?they struck up a conversation while standing in line for lottery tickets, with one of the tickets turning into a $2,500 winner. They married earlier this year, with a 95-year-old church elder presiding over the ceremony, no less.
I guess I wanted company, Hill said in an interview, explaining why she married. I wanted somebody [url=http://www.symbiose.ca/images/christianlouboutin.gwij.php]Christian Louboutin Outlet[/url] I could help, and they could help me. We were both single. My husband was gone. His wife was gone. We became the best of friends.
Robin Wright, Hill s granddaughter, said the relationship is more romantic than Hill s explanation allows.
You catch them kissing all the time, she said. They re actually in love. Really in love. I know he s part of the reason she gets up every morning.
Legally, though, the wedding has been problematic. Hill has been declared legally incapacitated for several years. A judge said at a hearing earlier this month that he believes Wright 鈥?co-guardian over her mother along with a sister who opposed the marriage 鈥?acted improperly by taking her mother to get married without the court s permission.
Cary Cuccinelli, representing the sister who opposed the marriage, Patricia Barber, said at a hearing earlier this month that the wedding occurred without other family members knowledge, and that it complicated the matter [url=http://www.museosangennaro.com/Public/wdluk.php]Christian Louboutin Shoes Sale[/url] of how to eventually distribute Hill s estate, which includes property on the edge of Old Town Alexandria, worth about $475,000, according to real estate assessments.
Legally, Mr. Harrison now has a right to a portion of Ms. Hill s estate, she told the judge, saying it also complicates decisions over who will care for Hill, and where she will live.
While the judge, James Clark, found the marriage to have been improper, he also worried that breaking up the couple could create a circumstance in Ms. Hill s life that she doesn t deserve.
Clark ended up removing Wright and Barber as Hill s guardians, and appointing a lawyer, Jessica Niesen, instead. The judge instructed Niesen to investigate the marriage and take all actions appropriate and reasonable to protect the best interests of Edith Hill.
Niesen, in a phone interview, said she is still gathering facts and has an upcoming appointment to meet Hill and Harrison. While there are numerous issues to be sorted out, including questions about inheritance and where the couple will live, she would just as soon let the marriage continue.
I see no reason to break this couple up, if there is no harm, she said. One solution might be a postnuptial agreement preventing Harrison from inheriting Hill s estate.
Niesen said that if she finds that the marriage is not in Hill s best interest, she has the authority to pursue a divorce or possibly an annulment on Hill s behalf.
Wright said she remained concerned authorities would try to break up the marriage. She also opposes a postnuptial agreement, saying the marriage should be respected just as any other.
The interracial aspect of their marriage is unique as well. She is black and he is white. In fact, the longtime Virginians would not have been allowed to marry if they had met in their 20s or 30s or 40s, given Virginia s law banning interracial marriages at the time.
Wright says she has concluded after doing some research through Guinness Book of World Records that the two are likely the nation s oldest interracial newlyweds.
Edith Hill, for her part, doesn t give the interracial aspect of her marriage too much thought, despite the fact that for half of her life it would have been illegal.
Asked about the old laws barring interracial marriage, she said, That s done away with, isn t it?
For now, the two live together in Annandale, with Rebecca and [url=http://www.museosangennaro.com/Public/wdluk.php]Louboutin Shoes UK[/url] Robin Wright helping care for them. Rebecca Wright said the two do a good job taking care of each other 鈥?his hearing is not great, and her vision is not great. They dance, listen to music and take walks, which has improved their health.
And Rebecca Wright said the companionship two people of the same age provide each other can t be underestimated.
They can talk about things that nobody else knows about, she said.
Eddie Harrison said he and Hill never fight, and they both understood what getting married would mean.
The first time I married I didn t know what I was doing, he said. I was 18. She was 26. Two weeks later I wanted a divorce.

That鈥檚 like saying, what do you want for dessert 鈥?zwieback or pandowdy? Such a tough call.
Not long ago, the Giants and A鈥檚 ranked 1-2 in the standings, the two best records in the same region, and it wasn鈥檛 about making the playoffs but whether they鈥檇 survive their respective League Championship Series to meet in the World Series.
Now the question is [url=http://www.museosangennaro.com/Public/anel.php] Christian Louboutin Shoes Sale[/url] whether either has what it takes to simply聽GET to the playoffs. Both have been overtaken by teams from the south, and the dreaded wild card seems the last resort for the A鈥檚 and possibly the Giants.
Just makes those wire-to-wire teams 鈥?the 1990 Reds and 2005 White Sox, for instance 鈥?that much more impressive. The six-month, 162-game Ground Hog Day-fest is bound to have ups and downs, but few teams experience the high-low [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/guccioutlet.onlinesalecc.php]Gucci Outlet Store[/url] extremes quite like our humble roller-coasters by the bay.
The Giants were 42-21 and 9 1/2 games in first place on June 8 (43-21 and 10, if you count the May 22 suspended-game win in Colorado), not realizing their lack of depth among other inefficiencies would send them to a tailspin. Their lead evaporated by the end of the month amid a 5-18 slump that carried over to 21-37 through Aug. 15.
Just before the Giants started re-learning how to win, the A鈥檚 began their own free fall, spitting at their 72-44 record and four-game lead on Aug. 9 by going 8-19, basically forgetting how to hit, throw and catch. They lost 14 games in the standings, turning a six-game lead in June into an eight-game deficit.
It rivaled the Giants鈥?nosedive 鈥?the Giants lost 15 games in the standings, from 9 1/2 up to 5 陆 down. They鈥檝e recently made up ground by going 14-7.
Through it all, both teams had rotation hiccups, demoted their closers, lacked production at second base and had trouble keeping their center fielders on the field. At the July 31 trade deadline, [url=http://www.alportico.net/prodotti/christianlouboutin-sale.jkmsw.php]Christian Louboutin Heels[/url] the A鈥檚 moved Yoenis Cespedes and the Giants failed to land a second baseman, opening the door for Joe Panik.
Things changed, The Giants rebounded, the A鈥檚 slipped. We鈥檒l give the nod to the A鈥檚 for the worse meltdown if only because it鈥檚 at the most rotten time. Either way, both teams鈥?were epic.
What鈥檚 your choice?

A couple notes: the cut-off for a QBR drop that I considered significant was a drop of around 20 points. Some QBs barely missed the [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Belts-Sale-Glasses-Frame-Prices-Eye-Glasses.html]Gucci Belts Sale[/url] cut-offs (see Roethlisberger), but I decided to include them anyways. Also, Rodgers obviously didn’t have a “bad” game week 1, but he did drop his QBR by ~30 points, so I decided to include him as well.
Let’s Take a Closer Look.
The average change in yearly QBR for these QBs is -11.68
This is actually the most disheartening statistic. What this really means is that Romo will probably have a significantly worse season this year, judging by his performance in the first game. None of the QBs who had a significant drop in their first game was able to even get close to their previous year’s performance (at least in terms of QBR).
No QB had a drop as drastic as Romo did
This kind of builds on the previous point, but Romo had a drop of -35.9 points. In our group of QBs only Rodgers gets close to that, and he was playing with a completely ridiculous 122.5 QBR the previous year. What this means is that the Romo we know and love could be a lot worse than we had hoped this year, maybe one of the worst years yet. This does not bode well for the team. However…
Out of all the teams with QBs that we able to stay above 80 QBR, only the and had a losing record
Okay, now we’re talking blue kool-aid. Yeah, yeah I know correlation, causation whatever, but the fact remains there’s some knowledge to be gained here. This is actually the main reason why [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Belts-Sale-Shoes-Canvas-Tote-Messenger.html]Shoes Gucci[/url] I think the might not be so bad this year. Looking at the teams that ended badly: Redskins are always a shaky team, especially in these past few years with RG3′s knee and all. The Saints in 2012 had a horrible defense that gave up the most yards and second most points. I really doubt Romo’s supporting cast this year could be as bad as those two teams. So there’s still a little bit of hope for our Cowboys, especially since the 2013 won their division 12-4. Bad news is, none of the teams who had QBs below 80 QBR made it to playoffs.
Good QBs…stay good
Again going off the previous point, all 3 of the “elite” (ugh) Quarterbacks who laid an egg their first game still managed a pretty good QBR at the end of the year. Brady, Brees, and Rodgers each were above 87 QBR that year, and also still created a situation for their team to at least have a shot at a winning record. (Though [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Handbags-Wallet-Women-Diamond-Watches-New-Perfume.html]Cheap Gucci Handbags[/url] we already discussed why Brees’s 2012 team did not make it) I chose to think Romo is closer to Brees and Brady than he is to RGIII and Michael Vick, so there is reason to think Romo will bounce back better than expected.
Conclusion
Okay, so the prognosis isn’t too great. Romo is all but certain to decline this year, and very few teams with a QB that has declined make it to playoffs. There is still a little bit of hope, as evidenced by both Rodgers and Brady, if Romo can at least maintain a respectable QBR and the defense maintains its performance from week 1, we could end up with a team that is at least vying for a wildcard spot. If not, however, we could be in for a pretty rough year.

Comparable sales represent sales at all restaurants, whether operated by the Company or by franchisees, in operation at least thirteen months including those temporarily closed. Some of the reasons restaurants may be temporarily closed include reimaging or remodeling, rebuilding, road construction and natural disasters. Comparable sales exclude the impact of currency translation. Comparable sales are driven by changes in guest counts and average check, which is affected by changes in pricing and product mix. Typically, pricing has a greater impact on average check than [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Belts-Sale-Kids-Belt-Cheap-Hoodies.html]Gucci Belts Sale[/url] product mix. Management reviews the increase or decrease in comparable sales compared with the same period in the prior year to assess business trends.
The number of weekdays and weekend days can impact our reported comparable sales. In August 2014, this calendar shift/trading day adjustment consisted of one less Thursday and one more Sunday compared with August 2013. The resulting adjustment varied by area of the world, ranging from approximately -0.3% to 0.7%. In addition, the timing of holidays can impact comparable sales.
Information in constant currency is calculated by translating current year results at prior year average exchange rates. Management reviews and analyzes business results excluding the effect of foreign currency translation and bases incentive compensation plans on these results because they believe this better represents the Company’s underlying business trends.
Systemwide sales include sales at all restaurants, whether operated by the Company or by franchisees. While franchised sales are not recorded as revenues by the [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Handbags-Envy-Me-Sneakers-Cheap-Large-Tote.html]Gucci Large Tote[/url] Company, management believes the information is important in understanding the Company’s financial performance because these sales are the basis on which the Company calculates and records franchised revenues and are indicative of the financial health of the franchisee base.

The Ringo challenges annoyed state officials eager to clear up a backlog of prisoners awaiting capital punishment.Of course, this backlog was created in large part because the state had so badly its execution protocol that a federal judge ordered it rewritten. But it was easier to blame aggressive criminal defense lawyers.Last year Missouri dropped the three-drug process, but only because manufacturers wouldn鈥檛 supply key execution drugs. The state adopted a 鈥渟ingle-drug鈥?method, using a massive dose of , a barbiturate used [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/clreplicashoes.php] Christian Louboutin Outlet Online[/url] to euthanize animals. The drug is made specifically for the state by compounding pharmacies whose names are kept secret.It has worked well enough that since November, nine of the 20 plaintiffs in Ringo v. Lombardi have been executed with it. At one minute after midnight tonight, Earl Ringo Jr., 40, is scheduled to become No. 10. But the secrecy and deception continue.Early on July 4, 1998, Ringo and Quentin Jones restaurant in Columbia where Ringo had worked, killing a delivery driver and a restaurant employee. Jones 鈥?who was given a life sentence in a plea deal 鈥?testified that Ringo shot deliveryman Dennis Poyser before insisting that Jones shoot manager trainee Joanna Baysinger, 22.Thanks to by Chris McDaniel of St. Louis Public Radio, we now know that Missouri uses two drugs in its 鈥渟ingle-drug鈥?execution process. Inmates get an intravenous dosage of the sedative after they鈥檙e taken to the death chamber at [url=http://www.museosangennaro.com/Public/wdluk.php]Louboutin Shoes Outilet[/url] the Bonne Terre prison. They usually get the sedative a half-hour or so before the execution time at 12:01 a.m. on the date specified by the Supreme Court.Two questions then: Does this mean Missouri is jump-starting its executions before the time set by the court? And why did Corrections Director George Lombardi specifically in February that midazolam is used as part of the execution process?Either Mr. Lombardi didn鈥檛 know what midazolam was or he lied about it. Either way it doesn鈥檛 offer much confidence in [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/guccioutlet.onlinesalecc.php]Gucci Outlet Store[/url] the man charged with making sure that the ultimate punishment is administered according to law. Sadly, it鈥檚 part of a pattern at the Department of Corrections.In part because of all the challenges made under the Ringo lawsuit, the state has become very furtive in the way it executes people 鈥?and the way it intends to execute Earl Ringo.A federal appeals judge already of proceeding with executions before all appeals have been exhausted. Now it turns out that the state is so eager to get the job done that it鈥檚 giving itself a head start.This editorial page opposes capital punishment because it鈥檚 capricious in its administration and is unworthy of a civilized society. It is expensive and serves no deterrent effect. It is the last place where secrets should be kept and competence should be in doubt.

Scott Durkee walks me through his massive garden on Maury Island, where bright yellow tomatoes decorate the vines like Christmas tree ornaments and zucchini have [url=http://www.alportico.net/prodotti/christianlouboutin-sale.jkmsw.php]Christian Louboutin Shoes[/url] grown to the size of infants. But Scott wouldn’t be able to maintain a garden this big if it wasn’t for WWOOF.
“It’s W-O-O-F…or it might be two W’s. World Wide Organic? What I say is Willing Workers On Organic Farms.”
official acronym is World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms. Farms of all types and sizes, located all over the world, belong to the network and offer travelers free room and board in exchange for farm work.
“Every farm is different and my deal is you work five hours a day, seven days a week,” says Scott. “In exchange you get a really nice cabin and three really good meals a day. Other farms might say you have to work seven hours a day, five days a week.”
Scott lives off his land, only eating meat and fish he hunts and catches, and his car runs on vegetable oil. Which is an especially curious and appealing lifestyle to WWOOFers coming from cities.
Childhood friends, Clara Wassalowski and Rebecca Seeberg are visiting the United States from Bavaria. I found the 19 year olds barefoot, on the porch of their little cabin in Scott’s backyard.
“Right now my two WWOOFers are on the front deck slicing tomatoes,” says Scott. “I have a ton of tomatoes right now and I want to slice the tomatoes and experiment with sun drying them.”
Scott will also have the WWOOFers do weeding, composting, wood chopping and anything else he needs done, which includes [url=http://www.symbiose.ca/images/christianlouboutin.gwij.php]Christian Louboutin Sale[/url] sharing them with his 88 year old neighbor, Bob Norton, a retired horticulture professor who manages five acres of fruit trees on his own. Bob is bright eyed, super spry and extremely knowledgeable. He gave us a quick lesson in fruit tree grafting before putting the women to work.
And if you’re wonder why someone would choose to do farm work as a vacation…
“I like to meet people,” Rebecca says. “You get much closer to the surroundings here. We got invited to a neighborhood party already, tonight we’ll go to the football game. Of course, the other thing is that you just learn so much while you’re WWOOFing.”
“How you can say you’ve seen America when you’ve climbed the Statue of Liberty?” Clara wonders. “You’ve seen a part of America when you’ve been with a host family or with people who are welcoming you and you stay with them and you hear their stories. It’s really the only way for me to travel. You get to have the real American experience.”
Scott says it’s not just about having help, it’s about meeting each other and sharing an experience. Clara, Rebecca and Scott discovered they [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/michaelkorssonline.php] michael kors handbags[/url] all like playing music together and Scott often takes his guests on little excursions.
“Anytime the wind blows, I’ll tell the WWOOFers, ‘Drop your tools, we’re going sailing! It’s really nice out there.’ We dig clams. Most of the WWOOFers have never dug clams before. So we dig the clams and the next day we have them in our spaghetti sauce,” he says.
The program is so popular that Scott is booked solid from February to November, taking a week off for himself between every two week WWOOF stay. His guests have come from all over the world, and are usually college age.

A Manchester couple has been charged in connection with a robbery Saturday at a Rite Aid pharmacy in their hometown.
Brooke Frost, 23, and Devon Gray, 25, were arrested Tuesday on charges of robbery, stealing drugs, theft, and possession of scheduled drugs, according to Capt. Dennis Picard, of the Kennebec County Sheriff s Office.
Frost and Gray were being held Tuesday afternoon at the Kennebec County jail in lieu of $20,000 cash bail. Both are expected to make an initial court appearance Wednesday.
Following several interviews, the suspects gave full confessions, Kennebec County Sheriff Randall Liberty said.
Kennebec Journal archives indicate Frost and Gray have two children together.
Police had been looking for a woman who entered the Rite Aid on Western Avenue in Manchester around 3:15 p.m. Saturday and went to the pharmacy and demanded painkillers.
Detective Sgt. Frank Hatch of the Kennebec County Sheriff s Office said at the time that the woman, who was dressed in baggy men s clothing, threatened violence before running out with an undisclosed amount of prescription medication.
Liberty said the woman, later identified as Frost, said, Give me Percocet. I have a gun.
Police, working with a dog, tracked the woman s movement [url=http://www.museosangennaro.com/Public/anel.php] Christian Louboutin Shoes Sale[/url] away from the store. The track failed to lead to the robber, but Hatch said it did turn up evidence, including clothing. He was unsure whether the woman ultimately got into a vehicle.
While investigators think Frost committed the robbery, Liberty said Gray planned the holdup and did an initial walk-through to see if it was a good time to carry out the robbery.
Liberty said investigators from Kennebec and Waldo counties, as well as the Maine [url=http://www.alportico.net/prodotti/christianlouboutin-sale.jkmsw.php]Christian Louboutin Discount[/url] State Police, conducted a number of interviews and used images collected by Rite Aid security cameras to identify Frost and Gray.
Frost was arrested around 8 a.m. Tuesday at a relative s home in Unity. Gray was arrested five hours later when he arrived at the Kennebec County Sheriff s Office for an interview.
Hatch, who investigated Saturday s robbery with Kennebec County detectives Michael Bickford and John Bourque, said additional charges are possible.
We re still looking at whether anybody else might be involved, he said.
It was the second time in a month that the store has been robbed. A man walked into the pharmacy on Aug. 3 and demanded prescription drugs. Thomas Bourque, 31, of Belgrade, was charged in connection with that robbery.
There were a record 56 pharmacy robberies in 2012, but the number of incidents dropped to a handful in 2013 and the first half of this year. There has been an increase in holdups recently, however.
In addition to the two robberies at the Manchester Rite Aid, since Aug. 18 there have been holdups at two Augusta Rite Aids, one at Community Pharmacy inside Goggins IGA in Randolph and another at the Spring Street Rite Aid in Gardiner. Jesse Mansir, 31, of Gardiner, has been charged in connection with the Gardiner robbery.
Police have called Dominic J. Pomerleau, 21, of Augusta, a suspect in both the Augusta robberies, but as of Tuesday he had not been charged.
Nobody has been identified or charged in connection with the Community Pharmacy robbery.
All of the robberies were done by individuals who are addicted to opiates, Liberty said. The spike in heroin addiction is having a significant impact on our communities, our youth and on the safety of our families.
Liberty said most property crimes, such as burglaries and robberies, are [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/guccioutlet.onlinesalecc.php]Gucci Outlet Store[/url] driven by addiction. He said numerous gangs from out of state have set up drug trafficking trades in central Maine.
Meanwhile, drug investigative units are understaffed, underfunded and overwhelmed, Liberty said.
As a society, we must get serious about appropriating adequate funding for substance abuse treatment and drug enforcement or continue to suffer the long-term dangers of the drug trade, he said.
And I’ve had bad timing for some of the more recent years. I was at the game where Rose tore his ACL, which marred what had been an incredible (even Rip Hamilton contributed!) performance. The only crappy game of the classic Bulls-Celtics series in 2009 was a Game 3 blowout loss that I attended. I saw Gilbert Arenas’s buzzer-beater to beat them in 2005.
Some good ones too, though. In that ’05 series I was at Game 1 when “No-Cee-Oh-Nee” was chanted throughout the arena. And another memorable playoff opener in 2011 with . Though it never feels as good as a playoffs victory, [url=http://www.alportico.net/page.php?sale=Black-Gucci-Bag]Black Gucci Bag[/url] there have been some amazing regular season matchups too, including (Rose went 1-13) against Miami and .
But for some reason (the reason, actually: I’m strange) the live experience that stands out was from 2007, in yet another playoff opener with the Bulls taking on the defending champ Miami Heat.
And I’ve probably linked this too many times, but it was mostly because of this Tyrus Thomas sequence:
See? Even the announcers made note of the crowd.
Not sure what it was, exactly. Just something exciting about taking down an aging defending champion with a rookie having what was thought to be an emerging [url=http://www.radiorcs.com/page.php?sale=Kate-Spade-Keeden-Sunglasses]Kate Spade Keeden Sunglasses[/url] moment. The Bulls won that game and swept the series, but it was a high point for that ‘era’ as well as for Thomas. A bit more naive then, it was easy to get caught up into thinking it was just the beginning of something [url=http://www.radiorcs.com/page.php?sale=Kate-Spade-Pocketbook]Kate Spade Pocketbook[/url] special.
Thinking about it more, the post-dynasty home experience hasn’t been full of many high-stakes battles. I didn’t get to go to any more games in 2011 when they got to the Eastern Conference finals, and have pretty much avoided the non-Rose playoff games of the past 3 years given the inevitability of elimination. That did cost me a chance at the Triple-OT game against Brooklyn in 2013, anybody here go to that one? Start your bragging in the comments.
It s almost the day that all Oregon Duck football fans have been waiting for.
On Saturday, September 6, the No. 3 Oregon Ducks will face off with the No. 7 Michigan State Spartans in a clash between a high temp offense and a stout defense.
Saturday s match up will be a true showing of how good each team really is and will [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Michael-Kors-Straw-Bag]Michael Kors Straw Bag[/url] likely set the tone for the remaining season.
Here are five things to watch for in the game.
Oregon s fast tempo offense versus Michigan State s stout defense. How will Oregon s spread offense do against the bigger Michigan State defense front? In recent past years, Oregon s offense has been slowed by bigger teams at the line of scrimmage. Saturday will show whether that trend continues or [url=http://www.radiorcs.com/page.php?sale=Kate-Spade-Jacket]Kate Spade Shoes[/url] not for the Ducks. 聽
Oregon s defensive front against Michigan State s running attack. The Spartans are strong up front at offensive line and will most likely try to mimic Stanford s game plan of running the ball of the last few years.
Marcus Mariota against Michigan State s secondary. The Spartans are headlined by cornerback Trae Waynes and safety Kurtis Drummond. Drummond made 1st team All Big Ten while Waynes will fill the role of recent NFL first round pick Darqueze Dennard.
Marcus Mariota and his Oregon records in reach. He needs just one passing touchdown to be the career leader in total passing touchdowns in Oregon football history. Mariota also is just 22 yards short of total offensive yards from setting the UO record at 8,141 total yards.
Michigan State s running back Jeremy Langford not playing at one-hundred percent health. Against Jacksonville State, Langford was taken out twice with an ankle injury. Although Langford is expected the play against Oregon, not having him at one-hundred [url=http://www.alportico.net/page.php?sale=Womens-True-Religion-Shoes]Womens True Religion Shoes[/url] percent helps Oregon s chances at slowing down the run.

Gonsoulin played for the Broncos for seven seasons from 1960-66.
鈥淎n original Bronco and a member of the club鈥檚 inaugural Ring of Fame Class of 1984, Gonsoulin finished his Broncos career as the all-time American Football League leader in interceptions with 43,鈥?the Broncos said in a statement.
Gonsoulin鈥檚 had 11 interceptions in his rookie season in 1960, [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Handbags-Outlet-Vintage-Shopping-Bag-Optical.html]Gucci Optical[/url] which remains a Broncos single-season record. He also shares the team and league record for interceptions in a game with four on Sept. 18, 1960 at Buffalo.
Gonsoulin attended Baylor University and [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Belts-Sale-Stores-Designer-Handbags-Duffle.html]Gucci Duffle[/url] was captain of the football team. He was born June 7, 1938, in Port Arthur, Texas.

The building was slated for demolition as part of the Baylor Stadium project, following an agreement brokered in June between the university and members of the executive committee of the Baylor Alumni Association.
As part of the transition agreement, the association agreed to dissolve and turn over most [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Outlet-Online-Ladies-Watches-Men-Watch-Vintage-Bags.html]Gucci Outlet Online[/url] of its alumni outreach functions to the university and also to vacate the alumni center by Wednesday.
The university plans to use the space, located on University Parks Drive, as an approach to a pedestrian bridge that would cross the Brazos River.
Although members of the association鈥檚 executive committee approved the proposal in June, the final vote on the proposal is not scheduled until Sept. 7, when it will be put to the association鈥檚 membership and board of 鈥╠irectors.
Two-thirds of the members who attend the meeting would have to vote in favor of the agreement to ratify it.
It was thought that the agreement could bring to an end the tensions between the university and the BAA, an independent nonprofit corporation, that have existed since the early 2000s.
Kurt H. Dorr, a member of the Baylor Alumni Association and a 1983 graduate, requested the temporary restraining order against Baylor University and the Baylor Alumni Association, as well as Elizabeth E. Coker, a Polk County district court judge and former president of the association鈥檚 board of directors, and Collin Cox, a Houston attorney who serves as president of the association鈥檚 board of directors.
U.S. District Judge Walter Smith signed the order Tuesday.
Gerald Haddock, a Fort Worth-based attorney and one of five attorneys who is representing Dorr, described the essence of the case as 鈥渢he democratic process and voting鈥?and protecting the Hughes-Dillard Alumni Center from destruction until the final vote could take place.
Meanwhile, Baylor spokeswoman Lori Fogleman chalked up the development to an internal problem at the BAA. Association staff who were working out of the Hughes-Dillard building already have relocated to the Clifton Robinson Tower, she said.
鈥淔or more than 10 months, Baylor officials have been engaged in active negotiation with the elected leadership of the Baylor Alumni Association, and we now find ourselves co-defendants in a judicial process,鈥?Fogleman said. 鈥淲hile Baylor will vigorously defend the case, we understand this principally as an internal governance issue concerning one member of the BAA and the elected leadership of the BAA. We expect that the court will sort this out.鈥?
$75,000 value
Dorr, who lives in the Chicago area, is not seeking monetary damages, but injunctive relief and a temporary restraining order to 鈥減reserve possession of the Hughes-Dillard building and the BAA鈥檚 other assets鈥?pending a [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Belts-Sale-Boot-Authentic-Belt-Wallet.html]Gucci Belts Sale[/url] vote by the association鈥檚 members, court documents state. The building itself is valued at about $75,000, according to the complaint.
The complaint further alleges that the university does not need to destroy the building as part of its Baylor Stadium project.
Haddock said Dorr is a 52-year-old financial adviser and banker, as well as a longtime 鈥渇riend and supporter of Baylor University and the Baylor Alumni Association.鈥?
A group of association members, incorporated as [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Handbags-Customer-Service-Quotes-Mane-Pictures.html]Gucci Mane Pictures[/url] Independence at Baylor LLC, has been lobbying the organization鈥檚 board of directors to reject the agreement, arguing that the proposal violates a 1993 license agreement between the BAA and the university.
The document, the group argues, gives the BAA the perpetual right to perform alumni functions except in the case of a default on鈥╥ts part.
The group also contends that requiring the BAA to move out of the Hughes-Dillard Alumni Center by Wednesday as part of the transition agreement violates a 1994 contract governing the association鈥檚 continued use of the 鈥╞uilding.
Proponents of the proposal said the transition agreement allowed an independent voice of the alumni association to continue through the Baylor Line magazine, while consolidating the alumni outreach effort.
Neither Coker nor Cox could be reached Tuesday for comment.
A hearing on the temporary restraining order is set for July 10, when a judge will determine whether to extend the order.
Tribune-Herald staff writer Regina Dennis contributed to this story.

The defense, while not spectacular or even good, was at least competent. Expectations were that they would be much worse than that this season. looks to be playing the game with a passion, and although it will take some time for him to get fully in to the swing of things, the former first-round draft pick is showing [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Sale-Rain-Boots-Back-Pack-New-Bags.html]Gucci Rain Boots[/url] the potential to be the player that the Dallas front office thought he could become. Rod Marinelli and his staff have a baseline to build upon in the coming weeks, and it is higher than what many expected it to be.
The Bad
The Dallas offense, even though they proved that they could move the ball effectively, displayed a tenancy to shoot itself in the foot. shoulders a good portion of the blame with his three interceptions early, but there is plenty of responsibility to be shared. There were mental errors from Pro Bowl caliber tackle and future Hall of Famer Jason Witten. Terrence Williams is still trying to catch the ball with his body, and had a critical turnover on the opening series. The offense cannot afford another outing where it does not get in sync early. Even though the defense looked better than expected, Romo and Company are going to have to have to establish Cowboys dominance early and often for Dallas to experience success.
The Ugly
The Cowboys dominated the the time of possession in the first quarter. They held the [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Sale-Vintage-Duffle-Bags-Women-Sneakers.html]Gucci Women Sneakers[/url] ball for, if my memory is correct, over 13 minutes. Sometimes that is good, it means that the offense is moving the ball and putting points on the board. At other times it means that the opponent’s defense is scoring or giving their offense a short field where they can strike quickly. On Sunday the San Francisco defense was doing both. The Cowboys ability to to make the Niners’ depleted defense look better than they actually were dug the team a hole that they could not escape. By the time the game’s second stanza began, the fat lady was tuning up and getting ready to sing. Take away the first 15 minutes and Dallas played well enough to have at least been in the game. As it was, there way too much ugly for them to overcome.
Like everyone else in Cowboys Universe I am saddened by what we saw on Sunday. Unlike many I am also taking away some positives. The team is a work in progress but I saw enough to believe that they can be more successful than many expect. It will take work, and plenty of it, but this can be a [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Belts-Online-Wholesale-Clothing-For-Less-Aviator-Sunglasses.html]Gucci Aviator Sunglasses[/url] decent season. The first thing that must happen is the team needs to stop beating themselves. Everything revolves around that. The Dallas Cowboys are not good enough to play ugly and win.

CINCINNATI聽鈥?The Cardinals trailed in this game by as much as six runs, and with plenty of relievers to choose from the Reds had a few different choices to help calm an uprising in the seventh inning.It took a dazzling defensive play to do what the arms could not.The Cardinals loaded the bases, got the tying run to the plate twice, and even brought the go-ahead run to the plate in the top of the seventh inning. The inning that began with a six-run deficit ended when A.J. Pierzynski tagged a liner that seemed certain to score two runs and could have cleared the bases had it skipped right into the right-field corner.It never got that chance.Brayan Pena made a lunging dive to his left that caught the line drive and ended the inning with the bases loaded and the Cardinals trailing, 7-3.In contrast to the Reds, the Cardinals have sped through relievers in an attempt to hold Cincy in place and muster a rally. Marco Gonzales worked an inning before the Cardinals went to Justin Masterson. Masterson faced three batters, walked two of them and — voop — was removed swiftly. In came Kevin Siegrist to tickle 96 mph and put the Reds aside in the bottom of the seventh without allowing a run.***Wacha gets to 70 pitches, but not with ideal resultsIf this were a spring training game it would be considered a success for second-year starter Michael Wacha. He got this work in. He toyed around with his third-best pitch, the curve, and took it for a test drive. He got beat around a bit, but that’s OK because he got his work in and got that pitch count up and he’ll be stronger and ready for another start in five days.There is one other thing however to Wacha’s start tonight.It’s September.This is [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/clreplicashoes.php]Christian Louboutin Outlet[/url] as far away from Grapefruit League play as most teams get.Rehabbing in a pennant race continued for Wacha tonight and the Reds capitalized for six runs on the righty in a little more than four innings. Wacha got to 70 pitches — as planned — but he couldn’t get an out in the fifth inning. His laboring started in earnest in the fourth inning as a triple by No. 8 hitter Zack Cozart led to the Reds’ third run. Cincinnati led 2-1 at the time of Cozart’s triple and then quickly 3-1 when he scored on pitcher Mike Leake’s double off Wacha.The Cardinals, so intent on getting Wacha to 70 pitches at least, let him hit for himself in the top of the fifth inning. The Reds did the hitting against him in the bottom of [url=http://www.museosangennaro.com/Public/wdluk.php]Christian Louboutin Shoes Sale[/url] the inning.The first three batters of the fifth inning reached base: a walk, an error, and a double into the left-field corner that scored a run.The double came on a fastball.It was the second extra-base hit off Wacha by Reds catcher Devin Mesoraco in the game, and the Cincy catcher and cleanup hitter had three RBIs before Wacha’s evening was over. Mesoraco’s double ended Wacha’s night and left him with six runs (five earned) on six hits in four-plus innings. He walked three and he struck out three.Two of the runs scored after Wacha had left the game. Jason Motte continues to search for traction since his return from the DL. Brandon Phillips welcomed him to the game with a two-run double.Phillips then scored to put the Reds ahead, 7-1 in the fifth.***Mesoraco rocks Wacha for a 2-0 leadCardinals righty Michael Wacha, not quite yet “full gorilla” when it comes to pitch count, took his first hard bruise since returning from the disabled list tonight in the first inning.Wacha got ahead 0-2 on Reds catcher Devin Mesoraco.Mesoraco worked his way back in the count and saw Wacha’s fastball and he saw the changeup and then with a 3-2 count he saw the third-best pitch the right has: a curve. Mesoraco lobbed it into the left-field seats for a two-run homer. The homer was Mesoraco’s 23 of the season, and it gve the catcher 72 RBIs. That’s one off Todd Frazier’s 73 RBI for the Reds.Wacha was able to get ahead and strike out Mesoraco in the bottom of the third inning to quell a rally. The Reds got two runners on base with a walk and a single. Wacha struck out Mesoraco with two on for the second out. Brandon Phillips struck a liner back at Wacha that the righty caught.The Cardinals had the first two batters of the game on base but Mike Leake quickly got a double play from Matt Holliday and there has been little for the Cardinals since.***Wacha set for second start since lengthy time on DLIf Michael Wacha sees Shelby Miller’s efficiency and matches the righty’s success from Monday night, then it could be possible for Wacha to get at least through six innings tonight at Great American Ball Park.It’s all about the pitch count at this point.Wacha will target between 70 and 75 pitches in his second game back from the stress reaction that erased 2 1/2 months of his season. In his first game back, earlier on this road trip, Wacha threw 50 pitches and allowed one run on three hits through three innings. He was relieved ably by rookie Marco Gonzales. The same formula is in play tonight, just with the Cardinals hoping Gonzales has less work after Wacha plunges deeper into the game.Miller threw seven shutout innings and did so on 76 pitches. He threw 81 total and finished the evening with seven innings and three hits allowed to the Reds.The lineup that will back Wacha is the same that provided Miller with five runs for the win last night.

SAPPINGTON 鈥⒙燘oth Lindbergh and Mehlville had trouble scoring points in their first two games, but neither could figure out a way from keeping their opponent out of the end zone.Something had to give Monday, and it was Lindbergh which found its footing, rolling past [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/guccioutlet.onlinesalecc.php]Gucci Shoes[/url] the visiting Panthers 30-7.The game was postponed Friday because of severe weather. It resumed Monday with 7:58 to go in the first quarter and Mehlville in possession at its own 36-yard line with a second-and-5.Mehlville (0-3) picked up a few first downs, but the drive fizzled out. Neither team put much together in the first quarter and the game remained tied 0-0.In the second quarter, a couple of big plays opened it up for the Flyers (1-2). The first, a 52-yard pass from quarterback Sam Neumeier to Justin Marchand, put the ball at Mehlville’s 5. Two plays later, senior Steven Washington scored from 2 yards out to give Lindbergh a lead it would not relinquish.The point-after attempt was blocked by the Panthers, but senior Logan Offner added a 45-yard field goal late in the first half for the Flyers to make it 9-0 at halftime.The third quarter was all Lindbergh.”We were hitting our assignments and my reads were right,” [url=http://www.museosangennaro.com/Public/anel.php] Christian Louboutin Shoes Sale[/url] Neumeier聽said about his offense’s turnaround in the second half. “We didn’t really do anything all that different. We just executed our plays.”On defense, the Flyers were bottling up the Panthers’ offense. And taking advantage of mistakes.”Everyone did their jobs,” senior linebacker Kelly Farrell said. “The line. The linebackers. The DBs everybody was playing together.”Farrell said he and his teammates were let down when the game was postponed but had no problem getting ready for a game three days [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/guccioutlet.onlinesalecc.php]Gucci Shoes[/url] later.The tough one might be Friday when they play at Parkway South (2-1) on three days rest.”We’re young. We’ll be ready to play,” Farrell said.Lindbergh scored two touchdowns in the third quarter. The first at 11:33 was a 40-yard toss from Neumeier to Marchand. It was the second play of the second half. Neumeier scored on a 2-yard run with 3:20 to go in the frame, and Malik Johnson closed out the scoring with 32-yard run on the first play of the fourth quarter.Mehlville, which is in a rebuilding phase, averted the shutout when senior quarterback Matt Mik connected with senior Joe Ghormley on a 71-yard touchdown pass.聽Mehlville will also have a quick turnaround when it plays Friday at Seckman. Like the Panthers, Seckman will be looking for its first victory.

U.S. President Barack Obama gives a statement during a press conference in the Brady Press Briefing Room of the White House on August 18, 2014 in Washington, DC. (Photo by Win McNamee/Getty Images)Related Posts
WASHINGTON (AP) 鈥?When racial tensions erupted midway through his first presidential campaign, came to Philadelphia to decry the racial stalemate we ve been stuck in for years. Over time, he said, such wounds, rooted in America s painful history on race, can be healed.
Six years later, the stalemate suddenly seems more entrenched than ever. As Obama pleads for calm and understanding in Ferguson, Missouri, he s struggling to determine what role 鈥?if any 鈥?the nation s first black president can play in defusing a crisis that has laid bare the profound sense of injustice felt by African-Americans across the country.
As Obama sought to strike the appropriate tone Monday, he appeared to be trapped between the need, as president and commander in chief, to stand up for the government s right to ensure law and order, and the inclination, as an African-American, to empathize with those whose say the killing of an unarmed black man just goes to show how blacks are treated differently by police.
In too many communities around the country, a gulf of mistrust exists between local residents and law enforcement. In too many communities, too many young men of color are left behind and seen only as objects of fear, Obama said at the White House, in his most expansive comments to [url=http://www.alportico.net/page.php?sale=True-Religion-Jeans-Size-44]True Religion Mens Jeans[/url] date about the fatal of 18-year-old Michael Brown just outside St. Louis.
But while Obama lamented the disproportional apprehension of young , he pointedly argued that s not solely the fault of overzealous cops. Police officers must be honored and respected for the difficult job they perform, Obama said.
There are young black men that commit crime, the president said. We can argue about why that happens 鈥?because of the poverty they were born into and the lack of opportunity or school systems that fail them or what have you 鈥?but if they commit a crime, then they need to be prosecuted, because every community has an interest in public safety.
It s a delicate balance that s likely to leave no one fully satisfied.
Aiming to reassure edgy Americans that the federal government is fully engaged, Obamaannounced that Attorney General Eric Holder would travel Wednesday to Ferguson to meet with FBI and other officials carrying out an independent federal investigation into Brown s death. Obama said he also spoke to Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon, who has deployed National Guard units, and urged him to ensure the use of those units is limited and constructive. I ll be watching over the next several days, the president said.
Obama also called for the U.S. to reassess the militarization of local police departments that have purchased military gear from the Pentagon. Federal grants for such equipment have come under intense scrutiny amid the alarming images of armored vehicles and tear gas canisters filling the streets of an American suburb.
There is a big difference between our military and our local law enforcement, Obama said. We don t [url=http://www.alportico.net/page.php?sale=Gucci-Duffle]Gucci Duffle[/url] want those lines blurred. That would be contrary to our traditions.
Yet for all the talk of procurement and sentencing disparities and police tactics, Obama has steadfastly avoided personalizing this latest bout of racial friction.
Unlike in 2013, when Obama declared that slain teen Trayvon Martin could have been me, Obama has been careful not to describe Brown s death through the lens of his own experience as an African-American.
And unlike in 2009, when Obama exacerbated tensions by saying police acted stupidly by arresting a black University professor at his own home, this time Obama is leaving the fault-finding to investigators. Obama said Monday he has to be careful about appearing to put his thumb on the scale by weighing in while a federal probe is underway.
Witnesses have said Brown s hands were above his head when an officer shot him repeatedly on Aug. 9 in Ferguson. But police have said the officer was physically assaulted during a struggle over his weapon. Meanwhile, the aggressive police response to the subsequent protests has drawn criticism from across the [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Rose-Gold-Watch-Michael-Kors]Rose Gold Watch Michael Kors[/url] U.S.
Obama s impassive response to the unrest in Ferguson contrasts with a second-term approach in which he generally has been more willing to engage on issues of race. In his remarks Monday, which came during a brief break from Obama s two-week vacation on Martha s Vineyard, the president pointed to his signature initiative, My Brother s Keeper, which aims to bring government, business and nonprofit groups together to empower young minorities to pursue a better future.
We re making some significant progress as people of good will of all races are ready to chip in, Obama said. But that requires that we build and not tear down, and that requires we listen and not just shout.

Missouri state Rep. Jay Barnes last week did something very rare in politics 鈥?indeed, rare in life. What he did will have a positive bearing on the legislative special session that begins Wednesday.The Jefferson City Republican . Here is what he wrote in a letter to constituents:鈥淎dmitting you were wrong isn鈥檛 easy 鈥?whether at home, work or, especially, in public service. This week鈥檚 about owning a mistake I made as your state representative 鈥?eight mistakes, to be exact. Next week, when the legislature re-convenes for veto session, it may consider nine sales or other tax-related bills vetoed by Gov. [Jay] Nixon. On the last day of regular session, I voted for all nine bills. During veto session, I will only vote to override one.鈥漈he bills, dubbed by the Democratic governor , epitomized much of what is wrong [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/gucciusaonlineoutlet.php] cheap gucci[/url] with the Missouri Legislature. A so-called conservative Republican majority, which votes in lockstep on too many issues, passed the handouts to special interests without taking into consideration their effect on the budget. If the vetoes are overridden, the real-world results would be simple: Certain special interests would get a tax break, and schoolchildren, the poor and those in need of mental health services would lose. An analysis by the Office of Administration and another by legislative researchers agreed that the 鈥淔riday Favors鈥?were budget-busters, sucking something like $700 million from both local and state coffers.They鈥檙e not only bad bills, but as both Mr. Nixon and Mr. Barnes point out, they are .Sloppiness is becoming a legislative specialty in the era of term limits.Mr. Barnes鈥?action is significant in that he bucks his own party鈥檚 leadership, specifically Speaker of the House Tim Jones, the Eureka Republican who has urged an override of Mr. Nixon鈥檚 vetoes. Without Mr. Barnes, who has significant influence in the House, passage of the Friday [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/michaelkorssonline.php] michael kors outlet[/url] Favors is doomed.That鈥檚 good news, though it could end up being just a flicker of light in a special session that could see several important vetoes overturned.Republicans are confident they have enough votes (including some Democrats) to overturn a veto of a 72-hour-wait bill for women seeking an abortion. The bill should be dubbed the 鈥淭odd Akin Bill,鈥?because it doesn鈥檛 even include an exception for rape and incest, an offensive provision that recalls that 鈥渓egitimate rape鈥?victims can 鈥渟hut that whole thing down.鈥滸un-crazed Republicans (again, with a few weak-kneed Democrats [url=http://www.museosangennaro.com/Public/anel.php]Cheap Christian Louboutin Shoes[/url] to help out), also are likely to override Mr. Nixon鈥檚 veto of a bill that would make it easier for teachers to carry guns in schools and overturn local laws banning open carry of weapons in towns and cities across Missouri.But the sales tax giveaways, passed without any vetting, and with the worst of purposes 鈥?serving certain lobbyists鈥?agendas 鈥?will die. Credit goes to a summer-long campaign by Mr. Nixon and the courage of Mr. Barnes and likely a few others behind the scenes.The real purpose of the special session in today鈥檚 ethics-free zone of Missouri politics is to raise money. There are no fewer than 29 fundraisers scheduled this week in Jefferson City. Those special interests who lose in the veto session will have a chance to make a down-payment on favors to come.In Jefferson City, there鈥檚 always room for special favors for special friends.
The back injury that derailed former world No. 1 Tiger Woods at the 2014 WGC-Bridgestone Invitational could keep him out through the PGA Championship, but there s no certainty with respect to his status for the fourth major of the year, .聽
His agent spoke to the website and gave a small amount of insight as to Woods status:聽
[url=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Michael-Kors-Fulton-Large-Shoulder-Bag]Michael Kors Fulton Large Shoulder Bag[/url] Way too early. He has to rest and get treatment and then assess later, he wrote. Pointless to make that decision now without proper time to give him best chance. Nothing further today, maybe [not] even tomorrow.
The door s open for a bid to win his 15th major this week at the PGA, but it doesn t look promising considering the nature of the injury and considering that he s just nine rounds removed from surgery to repair a herniated disk.聽
Woods first felt discomfort after a difficult bunker shot sent him down the slope at an angle and caused him to land awkwardly. It was at that point he tweaked something in his lower back, causing the entire area severe pain.聽
It was noticeable, too. Even one of his fiercest rivals, fellow Southern California native Phil Mickelson sympathized with Woods after seeing him from the 11th fairway.聽
It didn t look good, said Mickelson.聽 It looked like he was really in [url=http://www.alportico.net/page.php?sale=Gucci-Designer]Gucci Designer[/url] pain. I hope he s OK. I mean, I hope he s able to play next week. I hope it s a muscle and nothing serious because I m really looking forward to playing with him.
As much as I love playing with him, playing against him, trying to beat him, we all want him in the field. We all want him back. I just hope he s OK.
Mickelson s sentiment echoes that of the PGA TOUR and golf as a whole. The game is better with Woods playing in [url=http://www.radiorcs.com/page.php?sale=Kate-Spade-Tarrytown]Kate Spade Tarrytown[/url] every tournament that matters, even more so if he s winning. So far, he s hasn t been able to stay on the course or in the final pairing on Sundays, and that s troublesome.聽
It means a cloudy future for golf and one of the game s greatest legends. Tiger in his top form was something to behold.聽
Now more than ever, it s a wonder if the sports world will ever have a chance to see that again.聽

BALTIMORE (September 8, 2014) The Ravens released running back Ray Rice Monday,hours after a new video was released that shows Rice striking his then-fianc茅e last February while inside of an elevator.

Each struck the other before Rice knocked Palmer off her feet and into a [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Sale-Rain-Boots-Back-Pack-New-Bags.html]Gucci Rain Boots[/url] railing.
An earlier TMZ video showed Rice dragging Palmer, now his wife, from the elevator.
Rice’s lawyer, Michael Diamondstein, would not comment to The Associated Press earlier.
NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said the latest video was not made available to the league and “no one in our office has seen it until today.”
Phone messages and emails to the Ravens were not immediately [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Handbags-Outlet-Toddler-Shoes-Bucket-Hats-Fanny-Pack.html]Gucci Handbags Outlet[/url] returned.
Rice was suspended for two games by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, who later toughened penalties for domestic violence.

HOUSTON (September 8, 2014) Police arrested four theft suspects early Monday in Houston after finding them on the roof of a school building.

Poling through eye-high flooded grass is a laborious task made even more difficult by the balmy temperatures. Sweat drips down my face as I nudge our narrow craft forward. From a standing position I see it first and shout bird as a diminutive, long-billed marsh bird rises from the dense rice beds. My companion s 20-gauge pops twice and the bird folds [url=http://www.alportico.net/prodotti/christianlouboutin-sale.jkmsw.php]Christian Louboutin Shoes[/url] neatly back into the green tangle.
It s a scene from days gone by, a sport that s quite foreign to most modern wildfowlers but was quite popular back in the golden age of waterfowling. The ranks are thin but there are still a few who practice the time-honored tradition of rail hunting, which is a melange of other hunting methods.
Like dove hunting, it s an early-season endeavor done on fair- weather days when most hard-core waterfowlers are still golfing. There are always some resident birds around but the action doesn t heat up until the first early fall fronts push migrants down, filling the freshwater, brackish and coastal marshes with an influx of long-billed, long-legged birds that fall taxonomically between shorebirds and web-footed waterfowl. Then it s short-lived as these early migrants will soon be winging their way farther south, well ahead of the first conventional waterfowl seasons in October.
There s also a touch of upland game hunting to it. Rails rise from cover much like a woodock, leveling off before kicking in the after burners for their escape flight. Also like woodcock, they ll sometimes set down within sight offering a follow-up flush, and may bust out singly or in groups.
And it has all the elements of jump-shooting waterfowl. In fact, many hunters use the same sneak boats for rails [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/clreplicashoes.php] Christian Louboutin Outlet Online[/url] that they ll use for puddlers later in the fall. Canoes and kayaks will work but the traditional craft is a narrow sneak boat. You use a small kicker motor to get you to your destination, then switch to manual, propelling the craft with a long pole when it s time to hunt. One hunter poles from the stern while the shooter sits ready in the bow.
Hunters try to use the narrow creeks and guzzles to their advantage, but the birds often stick to the thick cover that you ll eventually have to grunt your way through. Acres of wild rice are a legacy left by past generations [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/michaelkorssonline.php] michael kors outlet[/url] of waterfowlers. Seeded to help then troubled waterfowl populations, the beds spread throughout available habitat, providing much needed food for the annual southward migration.
Rails also inhabit freshwater marshes, which offer hunters the luxury of being able to pick their times as tide is not a factor. Still, most railers prefer the brackish marshes where and when the rising tide congregates birds into more diminished pockets.
There s no need for decoys and waders or the heavy camo garb and high-brass 12-gauge loads of late-season waterfowling. You dress for conditions, which are often mild, and light loads in 20- or 28-gauge guns are all that s necessary.
Few still practice this specialty sport, but it offers a welcome preseason diversion for those who do. Along with rails you ll flush teal, mostly blue wings that serve as harbingers of the big flights of puddle ducks to come as the green grass turns to brown and the maples take on a scarlet hue. It won t be long now.

Competitive gaming, or eSports, is bigger than ever. Valve recently partnered with ESPN to air coverage of back in July with $10 million in prizes up for grabs. Even [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Belts-Online-Sale-Online-Polo-Www-Shoes-Com.html]Www Gucci Shoes Com[/url] still, however, eSports aren t thought of as a real sport according to ESPN president John Skipper.
During a recent , the executive likened eSports to chess and checkers by that, he means it s a competition, not a sport. Skipper followed up by saying he is mostly interested in doing real sports.
To put the comments into context, they came as a result of someone asking him to comment on . One might expect such comments in retaliation from, say, that was also vying for the acquisition. But for ESPN to say that is a [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Handbags-Outlet-Beanie-Hat-Men-Bag-Black-Handbag.html]Gucci Handbags Outlet[/url] bit bizarre.
Following the successful broadcast of the Dota 2 tournament in mid-July which surpassed expectations across the board, rumors circulated that ESPN was looking to expand its eSports coverage. The source for said rumor indicated the network was in advanced talks with Major League Gaming to possibly cover MLG s Call of Duty competitions.
Personal opinions aside, there s no doubt a ton of money to be made from eSports. Sure, gaming tournaments likely wouldn t bring in the kind of ratings one would expect from college football, the NFL, the NBA and other major sporting events but given ESPN s vast number [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Handbags-Outlet-Outlets-Winter-Hats-Belt.html]Gucci Outlets[/url] of channels, I m sure they could find a few empty slots to fill out their lineup.

High-priced, handcrafted furniture wasn t at the top of the must-have list for most consumers when the Great Recession hit in 2008.
The stock market was plummeting, unemployment was rising, banks teetered and credit dried up.
For Dan Maxham, dealing with slumping sales was a new experience. The business, W.A. Mitchell Fine Furniture, had been humming along smoothly since he bought it from founder Arthur Mitchell in 2000. The company s chairs and tables featured clean, Shaker-like lines that were popular with customers and W.A. Mitchell had earned a reputation for quality, backed by a lifetime warranty. Its products appeared in L.L.Bean and Orvis catalogs and in furniture showrooms around New England. A typical dining table and chairs sold for around $5,000.
But furniture sales, high-quality [url=http://www.alportico.net/gosoc.php] true religion sale[/url] or otherwise, fell as the recession and financial crisis hit. When it came to putting food on the table, people were more concerned with the food than the quality of the table.
Maxham saw the impact in the showrooms of the furniture retailers he sold to. As sales trickled, large, empty areas of showroom floors grew. [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/guccioutlet.onlinesalecc.php]Gucci Outlet[/url] Store managers were reluctant to buy more inventory that might sit for months before being sold.
Maxham came up with a plan that allowed shoppers to see his products without tying up retailers capital.
We selected about 10 or 11 dealers we felt would survive the recession, he said, and those dealers became preferred dealers.
Preferred meant the retailers were offered furniture on consignment. The retailers didn t have to pay for a piece until it sold; then they paid Maxham and pocketed the markup.
Maxham also made it a practice to help make deliveries to furniture stores in New England, a practice that has continued.
That gets me into the showrooms and I can talk to the salespeople, because they are the ones who really make the sales, he said.
Maxham said the consignment approach ended as sales recovered following the end of the recession, although the preferred dealer designation continues with a list on W.A. Mitchell s website. Now the designation refers to dealers who agree to carry a minimum number of Mitchell pieces.
My sales since then have grown and we ve got some really great relationships, said Maxham, who estimated his annual revenue at less than $1 million. We do a lot of custom work through (the preferred dealers).
Maxham said he added another craftsman in the past year 鈥?he now has eight workers 鈥?[url=http://capstone.edu.sg/clreplicashoes.php] Christian Louboutin Outlet Online[/url] and added a line of outdoor furniture and some bedroom furniture that s been well-received.

Being Matt Lauer must be a nice job if you can get it — and expensive if you want to keep him. Not only is he reportedly getting a $20 million annual salary from NBC, but the network has reportedly agreed to in the tony Hamptons on Long Island from the Manhattan TV studio, according to Page Six.
Lauer does have an apartment in Manhattan [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/gucciusaonlineoutlet.php]gucci outlet[/url] but his wife and children live in Water Mill, part of Southampton, N.Y. A Today representative said that Lauer will fly home “on rare occasions … but most of the time you’ll find him stuck in traffic on the Long Island Expressway with everyone else.” However, others suggest [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/clreplicashoes.php]Christian Louboutin Outlet[/url] that the flights could be more frequent. Lauer has also told Esquire that the media has .
Whatever the exact details, there seems little question that in the world of well-paid television stars, Lauer receives a large paycheck. Still, helicopter service would be an extraordinary perk. You could chalk it up to NBC’s larger concern over the Today Show because network executives see Lauer as critical to the program’s success.
In 2012, from the show, according to New York Magazine, in part because she and Lauer reportedly didn’t get along. in the wake and Today’s ratings took a slide, according to [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/guccioutlet.onlinesalecc.php]Gucci Outlet[/url] the Mail Online. NBC executives still thought that Lauer was critical to the show’s success.
Ratings did eventually pick up and Lauer signed a new two-year contract in June 2014. Apparently some amount of chopper fare was included.
Lauer has been with Today since 1994. At his next renewal, topping the current offer could be tough. But the real question is, as he’s getting flown back to see his family, is Lauer now an official helicopter parent?

DENVER (CBS4) The business of getting people high has produced some high returns for entrepreneurs in Colorado, but some feel like the state s green rush might be coming to an end.
Many in the marijuana industry refer to the explosion in marijuana retailers and pot-based outfits as the green rush.
Those in the business say they have made their money by [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Sale-Online-Watch-Strap-New-Shoes-Sweatpants.html]Gucci Sweatpants[/url] hard work, not just being in the right state at the right time. But some in the industry aren t certain the climate here is ripe for many more success stories.
I don t know if that s the case that you could have new people jump in and be very successful because that market s pretty saturated and it s got a lot of established operators, said Kayvan Khalatbari, a marijuana store on South Broadway in Denver.
But it certainly can be very profitable.
CBS4 s Suzanne McCarroll interviews Kayvan Khalatbari. (credit: CBS)
Khalatbari operates Denver Relief. He told CBS4 he started consuming cannabis as a teen, and that it helped him deal with anxiety in high school.
Khalatbari also operates a cannabis magazine called Birdy, a standup comedy showcase called Sexpot Comedy which has marijuana-friendly shows and Sexy Pizza, a chain of pizzerias where part of the proceeds go to drug education.
I don t think I jumped in like a lot of people did, I eased in, he said.
The owners of a Highlands restaurant called Jezebel s are in the process of building on their existing [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Outlet-Online-Black-Backpack-Man-Purse-Pink-Perfume.html]Gucci Pink Perfume[/url] business with a marijuana-based operation.
Jezebel s (credit: CBS)
Chef Scott Durrah told CBS4 he s planning to add a cannabis cooking school to the family business that will teach students to infuse their food with marijuana.
This is a meal that the family can eat but also you make a side dish for yourself that s infused. It gives you the option, said Durrah, showing off one of his dishes students will learn how to make.
Chloe Villano says her cannibas-based consulting business is working out so well she seldom has free time.
Cloverleaf Consulting is a consulting firm that started in June 2010 and we ve set up hundreds of businesses successfully in the state of Colorado, she said.
Chloe Villano, right, meets with a client. (credit: CBS)
She saw a niche people needing help navigating the business of marijuana, and she raced to fill it.
Villano is like many in the marijuana industry who have come a long way. She says she started with nothing.
And now I live in downtown Denver. I drive a pretty nice car, I m in a high rise and I m doing really well, she said.
People magazine labeled Villano a marijuana millionaire. She is [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Outlet-Envy-By-Mens-Jacket-Vintage-Handbags.html]Cheap Gucci Outlet[/url] now is helping clients set up marijuana businesses outside of Colorado, where there s potential for more green rushes to emerge as more states besides Colorado and Washington consider legalization.

A Manchester couple has been charged in connection with a robbery Saturday at a Rite Aid pharmacy in their hometown.
Brooke Frost, 23, and Devon Gray, 25, were arrested Tuesday on charges of robbery, stealing drugs, theft, and possession of scheduled drugs, according to Capt. Dennis Picard, of the Kennebec County Sheriff s Office.
Frost and Gray were being held Tuesday afternoon at the Kennebec County jail in lieu of $20,000 cash bail. Both are expected to make an initial court appearance Wednesday.
Following several interviews, the suspects gave full confessions, Kennebec County Sheriff Randall Liberty said.
Kennebec Journal archives indicate Frost and Gray have two children together.
Police had been looking for a woman who entered the Rite Aid on Western Avenue in Manchester around 3:15 p.m. Saturday and went to the pharmacy and demanded painkillers.
Detective Sgt. Frank Hatch of the Kennebec County Sheriff s Office said at the time that the woman, who was dressed in baggy men s clothing, threatened violence before running out with an undisclosed amount of prescription medication.
Liberty said the woman, later identified as Frost, said, Give me Percocet. I have a gun.
Police, working with a dog, tracked the woman s movement [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/michaelkorssonline.php] michael kors handbags[/url] away from the store. The track failed to lead to the robber, but Hatch said it did turn up evidence, including clothing. He was unsure whether the woman ultimately got into a vehicle.
While investigators think Frost committed the robbery, Liberty said Gray planned the holdup and did an initial walk-through to see if it was a good time to carry out the robbery.
Liberty said investigators from Kennebec and Waldo counties, as well as the Maine [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/clreplicashoes.php] Christian Louboutin Outlet Online[/url] State Police, conducted a number of interviews and used images collected by Rite Aid security cameras to identify Frost and Gray.
Frost was arrested around 8 a.m. Tuesday at a relative s home in Unity. Gray was arrested five hours later when he arrived at the Kennebec County Sheriff s Office for an interview.
Hatch, who investigated Saturday s robbery with Kennebec County detectives Michael Bickford and John Bourque, said additional charges are possible.
We re still looking at whether anybody else might be involved, he said.
It was the second time in a month that the store has been robbed. A man walked into the pharmacy on Aug. 3 and demanded prescription drugs. Thomas Bourque, 31, of Belgrade, was charged in connection with that robbery.
There were a record 56 pharmacy robberies in 2012, but the number of incidents dropped to a handful in 2013 and the first half of this year. There has been an increase in holdups recently, however.
In addition to the two robberies at the Manchester Rite Aid, since Aug. 18 there have been holdups at two Augusta Rite Aids, one at Community Pharmacy inside Goggins IGA in Randolph and another at the Spring Street Rite Aid in Gardiner. Jesse Mansir, 31, of Gardiner, has been charged in connection with the Gardiner robbery.
Police have called Dominic J. Pomerleau, 21, of Augusta, a suspect in both the Augusta robberies, but as of Tuesday he had not been charged.
Nobody has been identified or charged in connection with the Community Pharmacy robbery.
All of the robberies were done by individuals who are addicted to opiates, Liberty said. The spike in heroin addiction is having a significant impact on our communities, our youth and on the safety of our families.
Liberty said most property crimes, such as burglaries and robberies, are [url=http://www.museosangennaro.com/Public/anel.php] Christian Louboutin Shoes UK[/url] driven by addiction. He said numerous gangs from out of state have set up drug trafficking trades in central Maine.
Meanwhile, drug investigative units are understaffed, underfunded and overwhelmed, Liberty said.
As a society, we must get serious about appropriating adequate funding for substance abuse treatment and drug enforcement or continue to suffer the long-term dangers of the drug trade, he said.

MILWAUKEE COUNTY (WITI) Could installing cameras in some Milwaukee County parks help to fight crime? It s something at least one Milwaukee County supervisor wants to explore. In May, a man was murdered in a Milwaukee County park, and now, [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Handbags-Diamond-Watch-Mens-Watches-Ring.html]Gucci Ring[/url] his death could lead to change.
On a pleasant afternoon at Tiefenthaler Park, the basketball court is busy and kids are playing.
On May 29th a much different scene, as police investigated the fatal shooting of 26-year-old Jacoby Davis. More than three months later, no arrests have been made.
We don t have the resources to place an officer on every corner, or in every park all the time, Milwaukee County Supervisor David Bowen said.
Bowen is interested in installing surveillance cameras in high volume, high crime parks like Tiefenthaler Park.
To ensure that we re being proactive and preventing things from happening, Bowen said.
Bowen has drafted a resolution asking the county to look into the cost of installing and operating surveillance cameras in parks. Bowen says the cameras [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Handbags-Outlet-Cheap-Belt-Jelly-Flats-Hoodie.html]Cheap Gucci Belt[/url] could help prevent or even solve violent crimes.
There s definitely deterrance as well when individuals know they won t be able to get away with something, Bowen said.
Those who visit聽Tiefenthaler Park and are aware of the recent homicide seem to support the idea.
It would be able to monitor activity around here, Dujuan Cherry said.
I would worry about privacy but I think safety first, Yahyal Siddiqu said.
It is too soon to know how much the cameras could cost, which parks they would go in, and how they would be monitored. However, Bowen says he s simply starting the conversation.
I want to ensure that we have a safe place for our children to play and I think surveillance cameras might be one of those options, Bowen said.
Some Milwaukee County parks already [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Handbags-Polarized-Sunglasses-Catalog-Jacket.html]Cheap Gucci Handbags[/url] have cameras including the Mitchell Park Domes, the Lincoln Park Aquatic Center and O Donnell Park.
Bowen s resolution goes before a county committee Tuesday.

The Los Angeles Lakers endured a brutal year during the 2013-14 NBA season. Kobe Bryant lasted six games, Steve Nash had his own health issues and the team had it is worst season in recent memory.
But that was all last year. Heading into the 2014-15 [url=http://www.alportico.net/page.php?sale=Discount-True-Religion-Jeans-Men]Discount True Religion Jeans Men[/url] NBA season, there is new life in L.A., as Bryant and Nash are both healthy and new faces like Carlos Boozer and Jeremy Lin are on the roster. It certainly won鈥檛 be easy to mold this current roster into a legit playoff contender, but new head coach Byron Scott brings championship experience and it鈥檚 tough to ever bet against The Black Mamba.
While the Lakers were down last year, they鈥檙e not out just yet in 2014. Let鈥檚 break down their most expensive matchups for the new season and see how they might fare in these pricey battles, with data on provided by Barry鈥檚 Tickets:
Los Angels Lakers @ Cleveland Cavaliers (2/8/15) | Average Ticket Price: $710 | Get-in: $75
There鈥檚 nothing like a meeting between The Black Mamba and King James, as Bryant and co. march into Cleveland to take on LeBron James and the Cavs. Cleveland has the much better team and their tickets are pricey at home, so this adds up to be L.A.鈥檚 most expensive clash by a wide margin. The $75 get-in tag is a borderline steal, however.
Los Angels Lakers vs聽Cleveland Cavaliers (1/15/15) | Average Ticket Price: $510.03 | Get-in: $88
Look at that, number two belongs to James vs. Bryant, as well, although this time it comes in California. Bryant and Nash hope to be healthy for their first clash with the Cavs, as this one comes in January. Both matchups greatly favor a Cleveland team [url=http://www.radiorcs.com/page.php?sale=Kate-Spade-Twirl-Perfume]Kate Spade Twirl Perfume[/url] that also boasts Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving, which clearly adds to the overall value of these pair of Lakers tickets. In addition, with available for as low as $3 for this matchup, it鈥檚 quite the deal for fans!
Los Angels Lakers @ New York Knicks (2/1/15) | Average Ticket Price: $390.60 | Get-in: $87
It鈥檚 a minor step down, but the draw of Carmelo Anthony is always felt at Madison Square Garden, where Kobe and the Lakers have put up some of their best outings. Here鈥檚 to hoping for a historic night in favor of the Lake Show, as fans can get in for under $90 and the $390 price on average isn鈥檛 terrible, either.
Los Angels Lakers @ Chicago Bulls (12/25/14) | Average Ticket Price: $371.71 | Get-in: $79
A hopefully healthy Derrick Rose hosts the Lakers in their fourth most expensive game of the 2014-15 season, while Pau Gasol also faces the Lakers for the first time in years. Chicago holds the edge in talent as well as the home court advantage, but L.A. can use this one as a solid measuring stick. The Christmas Day game carries extra value on the holiday.
Los Angels Lakers @ Brooklyn Nets (3/29/15) | Average Ticket Price: [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Michael-Michael-Kors-Handbag]Michael Kors Handbags Outlet[/url] $368.60 | Get-in: $56
Coming in at number five for the most expensive Lakers tickets for 2014-15 is a March battle with the Nets. This game could rise in price if the Lakers join the Nets as playoff contenders in their respective conference, but this one has value regardless as Deron Williams, Kevin Garnett and Brook Lopez play host to L.A.

During his speech, which can be seen on , the evangelical pastor mentioned that he had to [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Tory-Burch-Mclane]Tory Burch Mclane[/url] educate a group of black pastors in California that Civil Rights legislation was passed by Republicans and opposed by Democrats.

MEMPHIS (WITI/CNN) It s a violent attack that was caught on camera and now, police in Memphis say they have arrested and charged four juveniles.
The attack happened in the parking lot of a Kroger grocery store on Saturday, [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Sale-Online-Robe-Discount-Cheap-Bag.html]Gucci Discount[/url] September 6th.
FOX6 s sister station, WREG in Memphis reports a 15-year-old has been charged with aggravated riot and acting in concert: to wit aggravated assault.
WREG reports the teen was out on gun-related charges at the time of the attack. WREG says the teen wasn t enrolled in school, and his mother was previously charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
That teen is seen in the video wearing a lime green shirt.
WREG reports a 16-year-old is also charged with aggravated riot, and acting in concert: to wit aggravated assault. A 15-year-old and a 17-year-old are charged with aggravated riot.
This, on the same day we re hearing from a man who claims he was victimized in the attack.
The man says he recenlty moved to Memphis, and pulled out his cell phone on Saturday when he was on his way to Kroger, thinking he was recording the start of a flash mob.
Being new to the city, I don t know where I can and where I can t go. As I was starting to get my camera open, a guy popped around a car and said hey bro and just started swinging at me. And I tried to put my hands up, another guy started rushing at me. I took off running backwards through the parking lot, the man said.
Video captured on a Kroger employee s cell phone shows the man.
If you watch the video they say oh they re jacking, they re getting that white guy. I m that white guy, the man said.
The man is seen in the video wearing shorts and a blue shirt pushing several teens out of the way and running into the store.
I had run clear in through the door. I was at the fruit aisle. And I turned back to see if they were still following me. So immediately [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Belts-Sale-On-Sale-Clearance-Sunglasses.html]Gucci Clearance[/url] I pulled out my phone and called 911, the man said.
The man wasn t injured, but when he watched the video of the incident on Facebook, he says he was extremely frustrated.
It was nonsense violence. I can say that for sure. It seemed very unprovoked. They weren t about anything, that it was fun for them. They [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Belts-Sale-On-Sale-Clearance-Sunglasses.html]Gucci On Sale[/url] were out having a good time. They were all smiling they were laughing, the man said.
Laughing, as they knocked out a 17-year-old Kroger employee kicking him in the head and throwing large pumpkins on him as he laid on the ground.
The man new to town says several Kroger employees were recording video of the incident but one man seen at the end of the video knocked out, actually stepped in to defend him and the 17-year-old Kroger employee knocked unconscious.
The man says he s grateful no one was seriously injured, but he says someone has to be held accountable for what happened.
I felt like my life was threatened and I was lucky to get away, the man said.

Back in June, we that was so fed up with people wearing Google Glass while viewing exhibits that he created a program capable of booting the wearable from nearby Wi-Fi networks.
The [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Sale-Online-Robe-Discount-Cheap-Bag.html]Gucci Robe[/url] popularity of Julian Oliver s original program encouraged him to create , a consumer version of his DIY hack that he describes as a wireless defense shield for your home or workplace.
The device, which goes up for pre-order later this month, is about the size of a traditional notebook power supply. When plugged into a wall socket, Cyborg Unplug will scan the local Wi-Fi network in search of Google Glass devices as well as other network-dependent surveillance gadgets including Google Dropcams, Wi-Fi- enabled drones and even certain types of wireless microphones.
Cyborg Unplug can be programmed to perform a number of different tasks [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Handbags-Outlet-Vintage-Sunglasses-Sample-Sale-Www.html]Gucci Sample Sale[/url] when an offending device is detected. For example, an owner could configure it to sound an audible alarm with a flashing LED light, play a sound or recording through a connected speaker and even ping the owner via a smartphone app.
All of this is, of course, in addition to booting the offending device from the network.
While it does have a neat sounding name and a consumer-friendly design, the Cyborg Unplug is little more than a modified router running custom firmware.
Oliver plans to offer two versions of the Cyborg Unplug. A $50 model known as Little Snipper will be limited to just the blinking LED alert while the full-featured [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Sale-Online-Travel-Bag-Gold-Watch-Bracelet.html]Gucci Gold Watch[/url] model, the Axe, will set you back around $85. Oliver will begin accepting pre-orders on September 30.

CUPERTINO, Calif. Apple unveiled its long-anticipated smartwatch Tuesday, introducing a device that transplants the features of an iPhone onto a smaller screen that’s never more than an arm’s length away.Dubbed the Apple Watch, the gadget marks the technology trend-setter’s attempt to usher in an era of wearable computing and lift its sales with another revolutionary product.The watch’s debut also heralds a turning point in Tim Cook’s three-year reign as Apple CEO. Although the company has thrived under Cook’s leadership, it had only released upgrades to the iPhone, iPad and other products hatched before his predecessor, Steve Jobs, died in October 2011. The lack of totally new devices raised questions about whether Apple had run out of ideas without the visionary Jobs.Now Apple is betting on a gadget that seems like something James Bond might wear. The Apple Watch’s top-of-the-line edition comes in a casing made of 18-karat gold, with an array of elegant bands available for most models. The watch can serve as a walkie-talkie, a drawing pad, pulse monitor, calorie counter and activity tracker.”It is amazing what you can do from your wrist,” Cook said.Apple is a late arrival to the still-nascent market for wearable technology. Several other companies already sell smartwatches that have been greeted with widespread indifference.But Apple has a reputation for igniting dormant markets. Other music players, smartphones and tablet computers were first to market, but the devices did not enthrall consumers until Apple imbued them with its magic touch.The smartwatch “might not only be a game changer for Apple, but for the entire industry,” says FBR Capital Markets analyst Daniel Ives. “A lot of major technology players around the globe are taking notes on what Apple is trying to do here.”Investors appeared lukewarm about the unveiling. Apple’s stock dipped 37 cents to close at $97.99, but the shares had been surging for months ahead of Tuesday’s show. The stock has gained 22 percent so far this year [url=http://www.alportico.net/gosoc.php] true religion uk[/url] and hit an all-time high earlier this month.It will take months to gauge the popularity of the Apple Watch. The $349 device won’t go on sale until early next year.Cook hailed it as the most “personal device we have ever created.”The watch is “the first product we have seen with Tim’s fingerprints all over it,” said Creative Strategies analyst Tim Bajarin, who has been following Apple through most of its 38-year history.The watch will tie into a new payment system designed to enable people to store all their credit card information in a digital locker so merchandise can be bought with a tap on a sensor at a checkout stand or a press of the button.The watch must be used with one [url=http://www.alportico.net/prodotti/christianlouboutin-sale.jkmsw.php]Louboutin Shoes[/url] of the iPhone models released in the past two years the 5, 5S, 5C or the latest versions scheduled to go on sale Sept. 19 in the U.S. and nine other countries.Here’s a closer look at what Apple has in store:—LARGER iPHONESThe iPhone 6 will feature a 4.7-inch screen, up from the 4-inch screen on the models released in each of the previous two years. The iPhone 6 Plus will have a 5.5-inch screen and other improvements, including longer battery life, that will cost an additional $100.App developers will have new tools to rearrange their content to take advantage of that larger screen.The new phones are not as big as Samsung’s latest flagship phones 5.1 inches for the Galaxy S5 and 5.7 inches for the Note 4 but they will be large enough to neutralize a key advantage Samsung and other Android manufacturers have had.The iPhone 6 will also have a barometer to estimate how much users climb stairs, not just how far they walk or run.Apple is improving a slow-motion video feature by allowing even slower shots on the iPhone 6. The camera will be able to take 240 frames per second, double the rate of last year’s iPhone 5s. Normally, video is at 60 frames per second.Starting prices for the new iPhones will be comparable to those in the past $199 with a two-year contract for the iPhone 6 with 16 gigabytes of storage.However, the step-up models will have double the memory as before $299 for 64 gigabytes and $399 for 128 gigabytes. The iPhone 6 Plus phones will cost $100 more at each configuration.—MOBILE PAYMENTSApple is calling its new payment system Apple Pay.Consumers will be able to use their phone cameras to capture a photo of their cards. Apple will verify it behind the scenes and add it to the phone’s Passbook account so people can make payments at a retailer. Apple announced several merchants that will accept this system, including Macy’s, Whole Foods, Walgreens and Disney stores. American Express, Visa and MasterCard all are cooperating with Apple, too, as well as most major banks.For security, the card number is stored only on the device. Each time you pay, a one-time card number is created to make the transaction.—SMARTWATCHCook says Apple had to invent a new interface for the watch because simply shrinking a phone would not work. Much of the interaction will be through the dial on the watch, which Apple calls the digital crown. It’s used to zoom in and out of a map, for instance.Apple worked with app developers to create new functionality. Users will be able to unlock room doors at some Starwood hotels or remind themselves where they parked with a BMW app.The new watch will come in a variety of styles, with a choice of two sizes.—NEW SOFTWAREThough much of the attention has been on new gadgets, the software powering those gadgets is getting its annual refresh. Apple considers iOS [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/michaelkorssonline.php] michael kors bags[/url] 8 to be its biggest update since the introduction of the app store in 2008.Existing iPhone and iPad users will be eligible for the free upgrade, too.Among other things, iOS 8 will let devices work better in sync. For instance, it will be possible to start a message on an iPhone and finish it on an iPad. With an upcoming Mac upgrade called Yosemite, it will be possible to continue working on that same message on a Mac computer. These handoff features will extend to the Apple Watch.The new software will be available to existing users on Sept. 17.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) – Julius Thomas dad likes to remind his son where he got his great hands.
Greg Thomas was a 6-foot-6 wide receiver at Pacific University in the early 1980s when his own NFL dreams were dashed by a career-ending knee injury.
He was in the stands Sunday night when his son tied Shannon聽Sharpe s franchise record for a tight end by hauling in three TD passes in Denver s 31-24 win over Indianapolis.
Dad showed he s still got it, too.
He made his way into the stands in the south end zone, where Thomas scored his trio of touchdowns in the second quarter.
After the Broncos 6-foot-5, 250-pound tight end scored his first TD, his father hollered for the football.
My dad, he s no small guy. It doesn t matter where he s at, he s easy to find, Thomas said. He makes it down to that rail somehow, some way. He s got his arms open, I give it a toss over there.
The throw was so low Thomas feared his father might topple over the rail.
I threw a bad ball and he made a good catch, Thomas said. Maybe that s where I get it from.
Growing up, he d seen those grainy beta tapes of his father [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Discount-Skull-Cap-Discount-Wallets-Dress-Shirts.html]Gucci Discount[/url] that were part instructional video, part showoff time. But Thomas didn t inherit a strong arm leave that to the Manning bloodlines so he didn t want to risk another throw again after his first toss went so awry.
Yeah, second and third touchdowns, he was waving for me, Thomas said. I was like, I m too tired. I barely got the first one to you. I can give it to you next week if you want it.’
Thomas size and speed, along with his power forward DNA he led Portland State to the NCAA basketball tournament twice makes him a prime target for Peyton Manning, especially near the goal line.
He set a franchise record for tight ends with a dozen TD grabs last season, then was Manning s safety valve in wins over San Diego and New England in the playoffs.
The Colts had no answer for Thomas, who finished with seven catches for 104 yards in the Broncos 31-24 win. His trio of touchdowns came in single coverage against two linebackers and a safety.

He s a monster. A really, really good player, Colts coach Chuck Pagano said. He is a match-up nightmare.
Thomas first touchdown came with Jerrell Freeman draped on him. He outraced D Quell Jackson on his second score. And he juked safety LaRon Landry at the line on a 5-yard TD.
It s like backyard football with your little brother or cousins. I don t believe you should be (successfully) covered 1-on-1, Thomas said.
Thomas also had [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Outlet-Online-Black-Backpack-Man-Purse-Pink-Perfume.html]Black Gucci Backpack[/url] a big opener a year ago, when he caught five passes for 110 yards and two TDs in a walloping of Baltimore that sent fantasy football players scrambling to their laptops to pick him up.
After catching just one pass in his first two NFL seasons, Thomas had a breakout year last season with 65 receptions for 788 yards.
After earning his first Pro Bowl honor, he spent time in the offseason with Tony Gonzalez to work on fine-tuning his game, especially his run-blocking.
That work shows.
His feel for the game is better, coach John Fox said. He s been in a lot more situations now, whether it s in [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Discount-Loafers-Women-Hanbags-Blazer.html]Gucci Discount[/url] the blocking element or in the passing game. He s improved and I m sure he s a lot more confident.
He ll soon be a lot richer, too.
He s making $645,000 this season in the final year of his rookie contract. The Broncos wanted to get long-term deals done with both Thomas and wide receiver Demaryius Thomas during training camp but failed to reach agreement with either one.
Thomas is never one to relax, though, and he noted after his three-TD game that he needs to clean up some things. He had a second-half fumble and failed to corral an onside kick.
Eric Decker did that for us a year ago. Julius was the backup. And so that s his first live one, Fox said. Obviously, that ll be something we work on a little bit this week.
Thomas might also want to work on those throws when he gets the chance.
Notes: S David Bruton is day to day with a dislocated left shoulder, a result of a hit by Colts S Colt Anderson on a second-quarter touchback that wasn t close to being returnable. Whether you like it or not, it was a legal hit, Fox said. It s allowed in the game. I ll leave it at that.

No one is talking about Clayton Kershaw of the Los Angeles Dodgers winning the Cy Young award in the NL for a third time. It s about the National League MVP. While it s not longer very common to see pitchers winning the award, it s not like it s never happened before.
The last pitcher to win an MVP award is聽Justin Verlander聽in 2011 with the Detroit Tigers in the AL. He finished the year with a 24-5 record, a 2.40 ERA and leading the league with 250 strikeouts, a 172 ERA+, an 0.920 WHIP and a league best 6.2 hits per nine innings pitched. Kershaw is 17-3 this season in 23 starts including six complete games with a 1.70 ERA, a 210 ERA+, 1.89 FIP, 0.827 WHIP, leading the NL with 10.9 strikeouts per nine innings and giving up just 6.1 hits per nine innings.
In the National League? The last pitcher to win the MVP was Bob Gibson in 1968. That year he had the incredible 1.12 ERA while finishing the year at [url=http://www.radiorcs.com/page.php?sale=Jimmy-Choo-India-Sandals]Jimmy Choo India Sandals[/url] 22-9. He pitched 28 complete games and had 13 shutouts. His WHIP was 0.853 and allowed just 5.8 hits per nine innings. He also had an ERA+ of 258. Only Greg Maddux in 1995 and Pedro Martinez in 2000 have higher adjusted ERA numbers in the last 100 years.
Things are a bit different in the American League. Still, there were 19 years between Verlander and the previous pitcher to win the MVP, Dennis Eckersley in 1992.聽He is the last relief pitcher to win the award, At age 37, it was his last All-Star year, making 51 saves. He played until 1998, but was never close to those numbers again.
Six years earlier it was Roger Clemens of the Boston Red Sox who won the MVP. He finished with a 24-4 record and a league-best 2.48 ERA, while also leading in adjusted ERA, WHIP and H/9.聽Willie Hernandez聽of the Detroit Tigers won the MVP two years earlier (1984 for those who are a bit lost), another relief pitcher with an impressive 140 innings pitched that season.
In the early days of baseball things were easier for pitchers. They also got the award [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Michael-Kors-Quilted-Handbag]Michael Kors Quilted Handbag[/url] a lot more, although it wasn t always the MVP. Only in 1931 did the聽BBWAA first award it. In the National League, five of the first 13 winners were pitchers: Carl Hubbell (twice), Dizzy Dean, Bucky Walters and Mort Cooper. In the AL, the first pitcher to win the MVP was Lefty Grove in 1931 but it took 12 years for the next one to come by: Spud Chandler of the New York Yankees, beginning a three-year AL streak for pitchers and the MVP award, followed by Hal Newhouster winning the award twice.
In 1950 Jim Konstanty won the award in the NL. Two years later it was聽Bobby Shantz聽in the AL s Philadelphia Athletics to win the MVP. It took 16 more years [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Christian-Louboutin-Fifi]Christian Louboutin Fifi[/url] for another AL pitcher to win the award: Denny McLain of the Tigers in 1968. Three years later it was Vida Blue (1971), 10 years before Rollie Fingers picking up the award.
In the NL, between Konstanty and Gibson there were 18 years, in which two pitchers won the MVP award: Don Newcombe of the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1956 and Sandy Koufax of the Los Angeles Dodgers in 1963. If Kershaw does win the MVP award in 2014, the comparisons to Koufax will only grow, although there is the small matter of pulling off some playoff magic to take care of.

(Photo by Brendan Hoffman/Getty Images) Related PostsThis week, Missouri Legislature s Republicans are attempting to make it even harder for women to access abortions. In a move that Democratic Gov. Jay Nixon has denounced as extreme and disrespectful, the state is now poised to pass a bill that would mandate a 72-hour waiting period for women wanting to terminate a pregnancy. This is triple the current 24-hour waiting period. Our intent is to make sure that a women has the opportunity to really think through what she s about to [url=http://www.radiorcs.com/page.php?sale=Kate-Spade-Owl-Bag]Kate Spade Owl Bag[/url] do and how it will affect her health as well as the life of her baby, Susan Klein, a lobbyist for Missouri Right to Life, told the Associated Press.
However, opponents maintain the most jarring aspect of this bill is its omissions, specifically the fact that it makes no exceptions for victims of rape and incest.
By failing to include an exception for rape and incest, House Bill 1307 demonstrates a callous disregard for women who find themselves in horrific circumstances,鈥?Gov. Nixon [url=http://www.alportico.net/page.php?sale=Gucci-Sukey]Gucci Sukey[/url] said when he initially vetoed the bill.
鈥淟engthening the already extensive waiting period serves no demonstrable purpose other than to create emotional and financial hardships for women who have undoubtedly already spent considerable time wrestling with perhaps the most difficult decision they may ever have to make,鈥?he continued.
But even as Nixon signed his name on the veto, an override seemed inescapable. The GOP knows it has the votes it needs, and this is just one more step in a clear trend that has been emerging. In less than a decade, three Missouri clinics have quit offering abortions, so many patients have to travel an average of nearly 100 miles to terminate their pregnancies in St. Louis. Adding an additional two days to the waiting period is yet another hurdle for women seeking help in the area.
It really is just a cruel way to force a woman to delay her health care, said M Evie Mead to [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Tory-Burch-Discount]Tory Burch Outlet[/url] the Associated Press. She is the director of statewide organizing for Planned Parenthood Advocates in Missouri.
If this bill passes, it would be one of the nation鈥檚 strictest limitations on abortion and among the longest waiting periods to date, coming second only to South Dakota, where their 72-hour wait can sometimes extend even longer because of weekends and holidays. Planned Parenthood, which operates the state鈥檚 last licensed abortion clinic, has yet to specify whether they would file a legal challenge against an extended waiting period.
Missouri lawmakers will vote on this veto override as well as possible overrides on bills about guns, school transfers and more, at a special session this week.

LOS ANGELES 鈥?Banter by two Fox News Channel [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/gucciusaonlineoutlet.php] cheap gucci[/url] hosts about video showing football player Ray Rice hitting his future wife has come under fire.
The Fox Friends hosts, Brian Kilmeade and Steve Doocy, made their on-air comments Monday while discussing newly released video showing Rice hitting Janay Palmer in an elevator in February.
Kilmeade said that the lesson to be learned was, in his words, take the stairs.
Doocy responded that the message is to remember that elevators include cameras.
The comments, which were criticized as inappropriate by media observers and in online posts, will be discussed on Tuesday s Fox Friends, the channel [url=http://www.alportico.net/prodotti/christianlouboutin-sale.jkmsw.php]Christian Louboutin Discount[/url] said.
Rice was let go by the Baltimore Ravens on Monday and suspended indefinitely by the NFL after the video s release. His lawyer, Michael Diamondstein, declined to comment.
The video clip, released by TMZ Sports, shows Rice and Palmer in an elevator at an Atlantic City casino. Each hits the other before Rice knocks Palmer off her feet and unconscious, according to police.
Months ago, a TMZ video showed Rice dragging Palmer from the elevator at [url=http://www.alportico.net/prodotti/christianlouboutin-sale.jkmsw.php]Christian Louboutin Replica[/url] the Revel casino, which closed Sept. 2.
He had been charged with felony aggravated assault in the case, but in May he was accepted into a pretrial intervention program that allowed him to avoid jail time and could lead to the charge being purged from his record.

DENVER (CBS4) CBS4 has learned that a 26-year-old [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Outlet-Purse-Slides-Hysteria-Bag.html]Gucci Purse[/url] Denver transient has been jailed for investigation of attempted murder after he attacked a female Denver police officer, attempted to wrestle away her gun, and later said he 鈥渨ould have killed her鈥?if he had obtained her weapon.
Stephen K. Hamper is being held in the Denver city jail for one count of investigation of attempted murder.
According to police sources, Officer Aubree Thompson was sent to contact Hamper Saturday after he was seen washing his clothes near Interstate 25 and South Downing Street. When Hamper failed to respond to the officer鈥檚 [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Handbags-Wallet-Women-Diamond-Watches-New-Perfume.html]New Gucci Perfume[/url] questions she attempted to handcuff him, and according to a written report, 鈥淗e attacked the officer.鈥?
The report states that Hamper, who is listed as 6-foot-1 and 180 pounds, attempted to get Thompson鈥檚 gun, but she was able to keep it from him.
Several citizens called 911 to report what they saw and three citizens driving by came to the officer鈥檚 aid, [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Belts-Sale-Men-Shirts-Clogs-Loafer.html]Gucci Clogs[/url] stopping in traffic and tackling the suspect, according to an account shared with CBS4 Investigator Brian Maass.
The report states that 鈥渢he suspect made a statement to officers, that if he could have gotten the officer鈥檚 gun he would have killed her.鈥?
Thompson was hospitalized Saturday but was apparently released.

STATS RECAPS
TOP SPOTS
NEW YORK (AP) – Curtis Granderson had a lot to live up to when he signed a $60 million, four-year contract with the Mets in the offseason.
For much of this year, though, it s been a struggle for the three-time All-Star after moving across town.
He came through on Monday night, hitting a tying triple off former-Met LaTroy Hawkins and scored two pitches later on Wilmer Flores sacrifice fly to give New York a 3-2 win that stopped the Colorado Rockies four-game winning streak.
Things may be looking up for Granderson, who has seven RBIs over his last four games hitting .400 during that stretch. Manager Terry Collins believes that the pressure of changing leagues and trying to fulfill a big contract may have gotten to him for a good portion of the season.
It is a little different game, different pitchers and a lot of [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Belts-Online-Handbags-Belts-Wallet-Sale.html]Gucci Belts Online[/url] other things he is not used to, Collins said. He is swinging the bat good right now and that is good for us.
After Lucas Duda s RBI double in the first, Jordan Lyles, Tommy Kahnle, Brooks Brown and Christian Friedrich pitched shutout ball through the eighth.
Travis d Arnaud doubled leading off the ninth against Hawkins (3-3), who blew a save for the third time in 25 chances.
Granderson s triple past right fielder Charlie Blackmon scored pinch-runner Eric Young Jr. Granderson then scored easily ahead of Drew Stubbs off-line throw on Flores fly to center.
Carlos Torres (7-5) pitched a perfect ninth for the Mets, who wore camouflage jerseys as they started a 10-game homestand.
Michael Cuddyer tied the score in the second with his seventh home run. Activated before the game, Cuddyer had been on the disabled list since Aug. 24 because of a strained left hamstring, his third DL stint this season.
I was able to get a good pitch to hit and fortunately I didn t miss it, said Cuddyer.
Nolan Arenado homered off Vic Black s changeup on an 0-2 pitch leading off the eighth for a 2-1 lead.
I just threw a bad breaking ball to a guy that is a good hitter, said Black.
Mets starter Jonathon Niese allowed one run and eight hits in 6 2-3 innings, struck out seven and walked one. His curveball was hit or miss at times, but the 6-foot-3 left-hander made pitches when he needed to.
There was some that were good and some that were not so good, said Niese. Fortunately the good ones I was able to get outs on, and the bad ones they did [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Sale-Online-1973-Bridal-Shoes-Retailers.html]Gucci Sale Online[/url] not crush like they probably should have.
Lyles gave up one run and three hits in six innings.
Mets center fielder Juan Lagares ran into left-center and extended to make an outstanding backhand catch to rob Arenado of an extra-base hit with a runner on in the first.
Kahnle, a 25-year-old rookie from Latham, New York, pitched a perfect seventh for Colorado.
TRAINER S ROOM
Rockies: C Wilin Rosario, activated Sunday after a stint on the DL caused by left wrist inflammation, pinch hit in the seventh and remained in the game at catcher. He was 0 for 2. I m going to ease him in this series, Rockies manager Walt Weiss said before the game. I look at his situation a little bit different as a catcher. Blackmon and 1B Justin Morneau, who leads the NL with a .316 batting average, were not in the starting lineup. They ve been going at it pretty good, Weiss said. It seemed like a good time to give them a day.
Mets: 2B Daniel Murphy (strained right calf) is expected to be activated from the 15-day DL on Tuesday, according to Mets general manager Sandy Alderson.
UP NEXT
Rockies: Rookie RHP Christian Bergman (2-2) starts Tuesday and will be looking to win for the third time in four outings [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Sale-Online-Women-Shoes-Shoe-Sale-Men-Watches.html]Gucci Shoe Sale[/url] since returning from a broken left hand on Aug. 24.
Mets: RHP Jacob deGrom (7-6) faces Colorado for the first time. He has not allowed an earned run in 14 innings.
EXTRA, EXTRA
The Mets had six hits in the game, all for extra bases, marking the first time in franchise history that they had five or more hits and no singles.
KEEPING SCORE
According to the Elias Sports Bureau, tonight s matchup was Howie Karpin s 900th regular season game as official scorer dating back to September 13, 1998, at Yankee Stadium. A long-time fixture in New York-area press boxes, Karpin has also been the official scorer for three World Series games as well as the 2013 All-Star Game held at Citi Field.

We thought that the would have died down by now, and that we d all be focusing on some other celebrity mini-scandal. But that is decidedly not the case.
PYT owner Tommy Up, who says he was responsible for posting McCoy s 20-cent tip receipt to Facebook聽after the Eagles player left his restaurant, has taken to 聽again, [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Tory-Burch-Saffiano-Zip-Continental-Wallet]Tory Burch Saffiano Zip Continental Wallet[/url] this time to issue a statement providing new insight into the actions of McCoy and his companions while they were at PYT on Monday afternoon.
Up maintains that McCoy’s table received “excellent” and “impeccable service” but that he and his group “were verbally abusive 鈥?in the most insulting ways” to PYT’s staff.
Here’s more from Up’s statement:
The derogatory statements about women and their sheer contempt for the staff serving them wasn’t the end, however. After Mr McCoy and his group left I looked over and saw their server, my friend, with his head bowed down and with a very confused look on his face. I took the receipt out of his hand and I couldn’t believe that anyone could be so callous. Mr McCoy had left a .3% tip for our staff.
Our staff [url=http://www.alportico.net/page.php?sale=Baby-True-Religion-Jeans-On-Sale]Baby True Religion Jeans On Sale[/url] that was beyond excited to see him walk into our burger joint and was excited to serve him. That’s twenty cents on a tab of over $60. Twenty cents that our server has to split with the food runner and the bartender.
Two dimes from an insulting multimillionaire.
Meanwhile, McCoy hasn’t had much to say about the [url=http://www.radiorcs.com/page.php?sale=Pink-Kate-Spade-Purse]Pink Kate Spade Purse[/url] matter, other than to tell Daily News sports reporter Les Bowen that it was “bullshit.” But he apparently didn’t deny leaving the 20-cent tip.
Asked LeSean McCoy about the restaurant receipt thing. 鈥淚t鈥檚 bull****, man,鈥?he said. Declined request to elaborate.
Les Bowen (@LesBowen)
On McCoy receipt thing: my understanding is, he was really ticked about service. But org wishes he鈥檇 handled it differently. He understands
Les Bowen (@LesBowen)
Up declined to elaborate on the specifics of McCoy’s statements at PYT, and an Eagles PR rep said that the team would review the statement and get back to us.

High-priced, handcrafted furniture wasn t at the top of the must-have list for most consumers when the Great Recession hit in 2008.
The stock market was plummeting, unemployment was rising, banks teetered and credit dried up.
For Dan Maxham, dealing with slumping sales was a new experience. The business, W.A. Mitchell Fine Furniture, had been humming along smoothly since he bought it from founder Arthur Mitchell in 2000. The company s chairs and tables featured clean, Shaker-like lines that were popular with customers and W.A. Mitchell had earned a reputation for quality, backed by a lifetime warranty. Its products appeared in L.L.Bean and Orvis catalogs and in furniture showrooms around New England. A typical dining table and chairs sold for around $5,000.
But furniture sales, high-quality [url=http://www.alportico.net/gosoc.php] true religion outlet[/url] or otherwise, fell as the recession and financial crisis hit. When it came to putting food on the table, people were more concerned with the food than the quality of the table.
Maxham saw the impact in the showrooms of the furniture retailers he sold to. As sales trickled, large, empty areas of showroom floors grew. [url=http://www.museosangennaro.com/Public/wdluk.php]Louboutin Shoes Sale[/url] Store managers were reluctant to buy more inventory that might sit for months before being sold.
Maxham came up with a plan that allowed shoppers to see his products without tying up retailers capital.
We selected about 10 or 11 dealers we felt would survive the recession, he said, and those dealers became preferred dealers.
Preferred meant the retailers were offered furniture on consignment. The retailers didn t have to pay for a piece until it sold; then they paid Maxham and pocketed the markup.
Maxham also made it a practice to help make deliveries to furniture stores in New England, a practice that has continued.
That gets me into the showrooms and I can talk to the salespeople, because they are the ones who really make the sales, he said.
Maxham said the consignment approach ended as sales recovered following the end of the recession, although the preferred dealer designation continues with a list on W.A. Mitchell s website. Now the designation refers to dealers who agree to carry a minimum number of Mitchell pieces.
My sales since then have grown and we ve got some really great relationships, said Maxham, who estimated his annual revenue at less than $1 million. We do a lot of custom work through (the preferred dealers).
Maxham said he added another craftsman in the past year 鈥?he now has eight workers 鈥?[url=http://www.alportico.net/prodotti/christianlouboutin-sale.jkmsw.php]Louboutin Shoes[/url] and added a line of outdoor furniture and some bedroom furniture that s been well-received.

Ford noted in his decision that appellate courts have taken up similar requests, and have ruled that judges may not order a defendant to make restitution for expenses related to the death of an accident victim where the defendant was [url=http://www.radiorcs.com/page.php?sale=Jimmy-Choo-Uk]Jimmy Choo Uk[/url] not found to be criminally responsible for the act that resulted in the victim’s death.

INDIANA (WITI/CNN) She was missing for two months聽 聽held captive, living in a cage in a mobile home in Indiana. An unlikely hero is speaking out, after his brave actions helped to lead the woman to freedom.
Joelle Lockwood
Joelle Lockwood was reported missing on July 9th.
FOX6 s sister station, FOX59 in Indianapolis reports Lockwood left a friend s apartment that night. She had reportedly been drinking, and was described as heavily intoxicated.
FOX59 reports while walking on the street, a friend saw Lockwood and offered her a ride. They apparently used narcotics at a residence, and then Lockwood s friend dropped her off at another location to see some other friends.
She left that house, and wasn t heard from again until Saturday, September 6th when police received a call from her parents, saying she was alive.
FOX59 reports two people have been arrested in the case. They face preliminary charges of rape, kidnapping, criminal confinement and conspiracy to commit rape. They are 37-year-old Ricky Roy House Jr. and 44-year-old Kendra Tooley.
Ricky Roy House Jr. and Kendra Tooley
Lockwood says House and Tooley offered her a ride on July 9th. She went with them to their mobile home, spending some time there before deciding to leave.
FOX59 reports court documents say House 鈥減laced chloroform over her mouth and nose, causing her to lose consciousness.鈥?
Over the course of the next 59 days, FOX59 reports she was bound to a bed and only allowed to go out on three occasions. She was forced to wear a red dog collar with a rope or leash attached [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Handbags-Suits-Pants-Beanie.html]Cheap Gucci Handbags[/url] to it. She was repeatedly sexually abused, court documents revealed. She was beaten on multiple occasions and wasn鈥檛 allowed to contact anyone. She was watched all of the time and forced to stay in a wooden cage built by House.
It was September 4th when Ronald Higgs went to visit Tooley his ex-wife.
Ronald Higgs
She slid over on the couch beside me and said I ve got a girl back here in a cage. I said you got a girl back here in a cage? What are you talking about?’ Higgs said.
The girl in the cage was Joelle Lockwood.
Higgs says the cage was about two-and-a-half feet tall, stuffed in a room, hidden from plain view.
No food, no water, nowhere to use the bathroom, Higgs said.
Higgs says when he first saw Lockwood, she was only wearing a T-shirt and a dog collar with a rope tied to it apparently being treated as a slave.
This just isn t adding up. When she cooked all of our meals she said can I have something to eat? They said if there s something left, you can have something to eat,’ Higgs said.
Higgs returned to the trailer the following night September 5th. That s when he says Lockwood made her plea for freedom.
She says please don t leave here without me. I said what s the matter? She says I ve been here for over 60 days and they put me in that cage,’ Higgs said.
It was then that Higgs says he realized Lockwood s fate was in his hands.
I didn t really know what I could do because I m nowhere near the man I used to be, but I m not leaving this house without her. I don t care what I have to do. She s coming home, Higgs said.
Higgs says he initially tried to buy Lockwood s freedom, but he couldn t make a deal. He realized force was the only way [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Handbags-Outlet-Beanie-Hat-Men-Bag-Black-Handbag.html]Gucci Men Bag[/url] and it was at that point that he found out the allegedly sinister reason for Lockwood s capture.
But the whole time during it all they was talking about a baby. She s not leaving here until she has the baby. I m not selling her. You re not taking her. You re not doing nothing. She told me Ricky was raping her, making her have oral sex. Kendra can t have more children and Ricky doesn t have any children of his home. I hate to say this to the public or even her even hearing it, but I think they were just going to have a baby and we would never see her again, Higgs said.
Higgs says he tried to take Lockwood out of the trailer, but was stopped [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Outlet-Online-Joy-Tote-Luggage-Hats.html]Gucci Outlet Online[/url] by House and his shotgun.
He stuck that shotgun right here under my chin with his finger on the trigger. He said I m going to kill you. And you ll probably bleep this out, but I said if you re going to (expletive) kill me you better do it now or I m going to take this (expletive) away from you an beat you to death with it,’ Higgs said.
Higgs says House lowered his gun and a fight ensued. Higgs says he was able to head-butt House, and fend him off. But Lockwood wasn t faring as well.
Joelle was sitting in the floor crying, naked, with Kendra beating on her. Just beat her down to the ground, took her clothes off of her, Higgs said.
Higgs says while House retreated to another room in the trailer, he saw his opportunity to escape with Lockwood. Higgs says he convinced Tooley that if she let Lockwood leave, he wouldn t go to the police.
I actually think they believed I wasn t going to do anything about it, Higgs said.
Higgs says he left with Lockwood taking her to his house. The first thing Lockwood asked for was a shower. After she was cleaned up, she was reunited with her family outside Higgs home.
I m 61 years old and I don t even cry at funerals, but I busted out crying like a baby, Higgs said.
As for the accused, Higgs has a recommendation for a fitting punishment.
I told the police last night I hope you all have some real small cells. That s where they need to spend the rest of their lives, in a real small cell,’ Higgs said.

You thought real agents had every niche covered?
You ain’t seen nothin’ yet (literally).
Jackie Youngblood, an agent with Keller Williams [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/gucciusaonlineoutlet.php]gucci outlet[/url] in Tampa, Fla., caters to nudists who are coming to Pasco County, known as the nudist capital of North America for its 12 clothing-optional resorts.
Just how big is the nudist niche? In the first six months of this year, Youngblood sold 22 properties at prices ranging from $135,000 to $800,000. Though Youngblood does sell to “textiles” – an affectionate term for non-nudists – she estimates that nudist clients make up 85 percent to 90 percent of her business. Most are either purchasing a second home [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/gucciusaonlineoutlet.php] cheap gucci[/url] or retiring in the community, she said.
“Many are buying in cash,” Youngblood adds. “Most of them are businesspeople who have watched their money over the years – and when they want something, they get it.”
Nudist real estate has become so popular in the area that it’s even caught the attention of television network TLC. In [url=http://www.alportico.net/gosoc.php]true religion jeans[/url] October 2013, Youngblood signed on to have her work life filmed as she shows properties to clients – who are very much in the buff during the showings.
The show, “Buying Naked,” which airs on TLC at 11 p.m. on Saturdays, chronicles Youngblood as she helps nudist couples hunting for the perfect home in clothing-optional communities.

YoungWilliams, the call center contractor that was with the Missouri Department of Social Services, has submitted its corrective action plan to address long wait times and busy signals incurred by Missourians seeking help with Medicaid and food stamp benefits.Earlier this month, found that many Missourians are spending more time on the phone trying to receive help from the company鈥檚 call center in Jefferson City.The same investigation also found that the call center鈥檚 hold queue, which exceeded six minutes since the month of February, was in violation of the four-year contract it signed with the state, which took effect in January 2012. That average hit 13.5 minutes in July.A month after the Post-Dispatch [url=http://www.alportico.net/prodotti/christianlouboutin-sale.jkmsw.php]Christian Louboutin Heels[/url] began its inquiry into the call center, the Department of Social Services to YoungWilliams, dated Aug. 28, that gave company president Robert Wells five business days to file a corrective action plan to address 鈥渟ignificant concerns鈥?that the department had with the call center, or risk losing 10 percent of its next monthly payment.In its response, dated Sept. 5, YoungWilliams, based in Jackson, Miss., proposed multiple remedies.In the letter, Wells said call volumes increased substantially between March and July, coinciding with longer call times, which led to the increased hold queue time.Wells blamed the longer call times on the state, which brought three additional computer systems online in March that call 锘縞enter staffers now have to update and check when addressing callers. The part of the contract that outlines the functions for the call center was originally two pages when it was signed, according to the letter. Now that same section of the contract has expanded to more than 350 pages, according to the letter.YoungWilliams promises to increase the number of call center staffers dealing with income maintenance calls; however, it does not say how many it plans to add. YoungWilliams previously told the Post-Dispatch that it planned to add 17 [url=http://www.alportico.net/prodotti/christianlouboutin-sale.jkmsw.php]Christian Louboutin Heels[/url] staffers.The company will also be rolling out a call-back system, in which callers can leave their phone numbers and stay in 鈥渓ine鈥?without having to stay on the phone and save 鈥渧aluable鈥?cellphone minutes, according to the letter. Once the caller鈥檚 phone number reaches the front of the line, he or she will receive a call back.The contractor will also amend its policy for talking with a supervisor. Typically, a call center staffer stays on the line when a caller talks to a supervisor.This will end with the creation of a supervisor queue (or hold line) so staffers can move on to serve the next caller.The call center will also add options to better sort callers. For example, there will now be two additional options callers can select if they are non-English speakers and if they have yet to receive a response from a previous request, according to the letter.To address absenteeism and turnover rates at the Jefferson City call center, YoungWilliams will provide a bonus plan for staffers, in addition to reviewing call center scripts to make sure they are 鈥渋n line鈥?with the [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/michaelkorssonline.php] michael kors handbags[/url] contract. If approved by the department, YoungWilliams expects to have the hold queue back under six minutes within eight weeks.As for the busy signals, YoungWilliams plans to add 20 phones, bringing the total to 434.鈥淥ur relationship with the Department is of the utmost importance.

MILWAUKEE (WITI) A respiratory virus has sent hundreds of children to hospitals, and it s causing alarm across the Midwest and beyond. Ten states have contacted the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for help investigating clusters of the virus that鈥檚 being blamed for the illness.
Health officials say they鈥檙e still working to figure out what鈥檚 going on.
The bug that appears to be causing most of the concern has a typically arcane name 鈥?Enterovirus EV-D68 鈥?but many of its symptoms are very common.
Enteroviruses, which bring on symptoms like a very intense cold, aren鈥檛 unusual. They鈥檙e actually very common.
When you have a bad summer cold, often what you have is an enterovirus, said Mark Pallansch, a virologist and director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention鈥檚 Division of Viral Diseases.
There are more than 100 types of enteroviruses causing about 10 to 15 million infections in the United States each year, according to the CDC. They are carried in the intestinal tract and often spread to other parts of the body.
The season often hits its peak in September, as summer ends and fall begins.
So why all the concern now?聽What鈥檚 unusual at the moment is the high number of hospitalizations.
There aren t any cases in Wisconsin currently, [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Outlet-Online-Kids-Sneakers-Womens-Watch-For-Infants.html]Womens Gucci Watch[/url] but there s concern we could see cases here in the near future.
In Colorado, nearly 900 children were treated for the illness, but the good news is that it s not typically deadly.
It can be severe in the asthmatic and the allergy kids population, Dr. Angela Tonozzi, the Director of Infection Prevention at Aurora Healthcare said.
Dr. Tonozzi says while there are no cases in Wisconsin currently, doctors here are prepared.
This is viral respiratory season, so we prepare for Enterovirus as we do every late summer/early fall, Dr. Tonozzi said.
An [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Belts-Sale-Leather-Jackets-Laptop-Sleeve-Men-Boots.html]Gucci Leather Jackets[/url] analysis by the CDC showed at least 30 Kansas City children tested positive for EV-D68, Missouri health officials said.
It鈥檚 a type of enterovirus that鈥檚 uncommon, but not new.
It was first identified in the 1960s and there have been fewer than 100 reported cases since that time. But it鈥檚 possible that the relatively low number of reports might be because EV-D68 is hard to identify.
EV-D68 was seen last year in the United States and this year in various parts of the world. Over the years, clusters have been reported in Georgia, Pennsylvania, Arizona and various countries including the Philippines, Japan and the Netherlands.
The virus can start as just a cold. Signs include coughing, difficulty breathing and in some cases a rash. Sometimes they can be accompanied by fever or wheezing.
Respiratory problems appear to the hallmark of EV-D68, according to the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services.
鈥淢ost enteroviruses cause either a little bit of a cold or a diarrheal illness 鈥?a few cause meningitis,鈥?said William Schaffner, head of the Department of Preventive Medicine at Vanderbilt University. 鈥淭his one is the, if you will, odd cousin. It causes prominent respiratory symptoms. Why it does that, we鈥檙e really not sure.鈥?
Pay attention to the symptoms that your child is having. If they`re having wheezing for the first time that`s a definite symptom you need to go and seek care for or if they`re having wheezing that just won`t go away. If you re having difficulty breathing, you might need some oxygen. You might need some fluids if you get dehydrated and just specialized care and monitoring, Dr. Tonozzi said.
Like other enteroviruses, the respiratory illness appears to spread through close contact with infected people. That makes children more susceptible.
There鈥檚 not a [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Outlet-Mens-Men-Boots-Men-Sunglasses.html]Men Gucci Boots[/url] great deal you can do, health officials say, beyond taking commonsense steps to reduce the risk.
Wash your hands with soap and water for 20 seconds 鈥?particularly after going to the bathroom and changing diapers.
Clean and disinfect surfaces that are regularly touched by different people, such as toys and doorknobs.
Avoid shaking hands, kissing, hugging and sharing cups or eating utensils with people who are sick. And stay home if you feel unwell.
There鈥檚 no vaccine for EV-D68.

鈥淪ince narcissists believe their status increases when they are associated with other special or high-status people, posting pictures of desirable friends may give narcissists a means of bolstering their egos,鈥?psychologist Shawn Bergman and collaborators wrote in a 2010 paper on the subject.
The Ice Bucket Challenge is a narcissist鈥檚 bonanza. You get to show yourself doing something marginally daring. Everybody will see how fit, handsome or witty you are 鈥?and how altruistic! Though the original deal was to donate to the ALS Association or pour a bucket of ice water over one鈥檚 head, people have [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Belts-Online-Wholesale-Clothing-For-Less-Aviator-Sunglasses.html]Gucci For Less[/url] typically done both and made no secret of it. What鈥檚 more, you get to associate yourself with all the famous people who are doing the same thing. There鈥檚 Bill Gates, who probably didn鈥檛 need the extra publicity or attention to his charity work but still built an elaborate contraption to douse himself, probably figuring he could up the ante in the ALS collection drive. There鈥檚 also Justin Bieber, who showed off his body and nominated all his fans and President Obama to upend those buckets.
There鈥檚 safety in crowds. If you鈥檙e bragging about doing something lots of others 鈥?and all those important people 鈥?are doing, you鈥檙e not really boasting. You鈥檙e showing that you fit in with the right bunch of people.
Don鈥檛 your motives still look shallow or self-serving, though?
鈥淚t is surprising to see so many people advertise their good deeds in that there exists a strong norm to be modest about prosocial behavior,鈥?London Business School professor Jonathan Berman and a group of researchers wrote in a 2014 article. After running various experiments, some of which involved posting [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Outlet-Horsebit-Speedy-Mens-Boots.html]Cheap Gucci Outlet[/url] reports of one鈥檚 good deeds on social networks, the group concluded that 鈥渂ragging about prosocial behavior is special because it directly undermines the information that an individual is trying to convey.鈥?If you boast about your altruism, you are seen as less altruistic. To avoid this unwelcome effect, 鈥減eople may create an appropriate context to discuss good deeds by steering a conversation in a direction that makes it appropriate to discuss prosocial behavior.鈥?
Trademarking?
The Ice Bucket Challenge provides the perfect context: You don鈥檛 talk about giving money to fight Lou Gehrig鈥檚 disease. You discuss the feel of that icy water on your pate, or Bieber鈥檚 narcissism, or Gates鈥檚 geekiness. It solves the 鈥渂raggart鈥檚 dilemma鈥?鈥?whether to tell others about your altruism 鈥?by removing the suspicion that your motives are selfish.
It鈥檚 such a perfect bit [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Belts-Online-Shoes-Handbag-Sale-Women-Watches.html]Gucci Belts Online[/url] of social engineering that the ALS Association鈥檚 effort to trademark it is perfectly understandable. Who cares about niceties, or Matthew 6:3, when something works to raise lots of money for a good cause? This is a case where the end may well justify the means 鈥?as long as no one gets killed.
Have I taken the Ice Bucket Challenge? No. Have I donated to the ALS Association? None of your business.

Comparable sales represent sales at all restaurants, whether operated by the Company or by franchisees, in operation at least thirteen months including those temporarily closed. Some of the reasons restaurants may be temporarily closed include reimaging or remodeling, rebuilding, road construction and natural disasters. Comparable sales exclude the impact of currency translation. Comparable sales are driven by changes in guest counts and average check, which is affected by changes in pricing and product mix. Typically, pricing has a greater impact on average check than [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Belts-Online-Real-Men-Sunglasses-Ties.html]Real Gucci[/url] product mix. Management reviews the increase or decrease in comparable sales compared with the same period in the prior year to assess business trends.
The number of weekdays and weekend days can impact our reported comparable sales. In August 2014, this calendar shift/trading day adjustment consisted of one less Thursday and one more Sunday compared with August 2013. The resulting adjustment varied by area of the world, ranging from approximately -0.3% to 0.7%. In addition, the timing of holidays can impact comparable sales.
Information in constant currency is calculated by translating current year results at prior year average exchange rates. Management reviews and analyzes business results excluding the effect of foreign currency translation and bases incentive compensation plans on these results because they believe this better represents the Company’s underlying business trends.
Systemwide sales include sales at all restaurants, whether operated by the Company or by franchisees. While franchised sales are not recorded as revenues by the [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Outlet-Online-High-Tops-Digital-Watch-Glasses-Men.html]Gucci Glasses Men[/url] Company, management believes the information is important in understanding the Company’s financial performance because these sales are the basis on which the Company calculates and records franchised revenues and are indicative of the financial health of the franchisee base.

Police have now begun a criminal investigation.

Police say while they re grateful for the offer, a reward fund isn t necessary since investigators have identified those involved.
FOX8 talked with a criminal defense attorney and law professor not associated with this case, who said charges against those responsible for this incident could range from misdemeanor assault to disorderly conduct.
The criminal defense attorney says it s not likely this case will qualify as a hate crime, since Ohio law includes hate crimes based on race, religion, or national origin, not disability.

To be fair, the current operation of Riverview Psychiatric Center can only be characterized as troubling, Wathen said in the report made public Monday.
The 92-bed forensic hospital lost its certification by the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services a year ago and was most recently denied recertification as a 72-bed hospital in late June. The loss of certification will cost the state an estimated $20 million annually, although the state has appealed the withdrawal of certification.
Wathen said his visit will be a formal one, and he has requested material in advance.
It should be a fairly thorough evaluation of the state of the hospital at that time, Wathen said. The goal is to see if there s recommendations that can be made that will assist the (Maine Department of Health and Human Services) with coming into compliance. It s not an adversarial type of thing. It s designed to be helpful to the reorganization process and not antagonistic.
Wathen said he intends to look at the hospital s management changes, such as with the superintendent since the March ouster of Mary Louise McEwen, who was replaced by patient advocate Jay Harper. He also wants to examine the response to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services concerns over treatment plans and the effort to restore forensic patients to two units rather than three. Forensic patients are individuals with crime-related charges.
The hospital in Augusta also has seen attacks by patients on staff members. Among the most recent was one on Aug. 16, in which patient Frank Stewart is accused [url=http://www.alportico.net/gosoc.php]true religion jeans[/url] of aggravated assault for allegedly smacking a nurse in the face with a chair, leaving her with serious facial injuries.
Another patient, Charles D. Miles, is accused of destroying property and threatening to kill specific hospital workers and patients in an incident on Aug. 31.
The progress report by Wathen apparently includes the attacks since it covers a period from Feb. 16 to Aug. 31.
Although there have been signs of improvement in recent months and plans of correction are in place, the hospital has continued to experience critical incidents involving client and staff safety and from time to time has generated concerns about proper treatment, Wathen said.
He also said that the hospital is operating at 85 [url=http://www.alportico.net/prodotti/christianlouboutin-sale.jkmsw.php]Christian Louboutin Online[/url] percent capacity but has a waiting list for admission.
It continues to house forensic clients in three of its four units, presumably because of concern about behavior control, even though the two forensic units are not filled to capacity.
Occasionally one patient is the only occupant of a four-bed unit on the forensic side of the hospital if that patient has proved to be particularly aggressive.
Riverview Psychiatric Center is divided into two forensic and two civil units. However, some forensic patients are being housed in one of the civil units. The forensic side of the hospital is where most of the trouble has been reported.
Wathen also noted that the hospital has had more staff turnover than usual in certain elements of the workforce since May.
Wathen said the hospital is in a critical time of reorganization. He said he s planning the site visit next month because the plans of correction and the management changes should have advanced sufficiently to allow a meaningful review of current operations, to check on progress and to make any recommendation that may be necessary for compliance with the Consent Decree and Consent Decree Plan.
The consent decree, reached in 1990, covers all persons who on or after January 1, 1988, were patients at the Augusta Mental Health Institute and all persons who will be admitted to the Augusta Mental Health Institute in the future. Riverview, which opened in 2004, replaced the Augusta Mental Health Institute.
Helen Bailey, an attorney with the Disability Rights Center of Maine, which represented the patients in the original lawsuit against the state, said she believes the state s proposed plan of correction addresses her organization s concerns as well.
I do believe that the conditions that gave rise to what was our most serious concern with regard to the abuse and the problem with having correctional officers right on the unit has been dealt with, Bailey said Monday.
Corrections officers armed with stun guns were brought into the hospital after a particularly vicious attack on March 30, 2013, when a patient bludgeoned a mental health worker and stabbed her repeatedly with a pen.
The reaction caught the attention of federal regulators, which eventually led to the certification withdrawal. Now, the hospital has hired acuity specialists to assist with behavioral and safety concerns.
Bailey said one unresolved issue is making provisions for patients who have had head injuries and who are not benefiting from treatment at Riverview.
A federal report filed June 27 faulted the hospital for a slew of missteps, such as unreported medication errors and record-keeping failures, including failures to document assessments, undocumented treatments, too few pharmacy workers, and no time allotted for mental health workers to work one on one with patients.
In response to that report, Harper said previously that the top problem was the hospital s failure to document when a patient is receiving the treatment called for under an [url=http://www.alportico.net/prodotti/christianlouboutin-sale.jkmsw.php]Christian Louboutin Sale[/url] individual patient plan. He said that was being addressed immediately.
A spokeswoman for the department said late Monday that a response to the progress report likely would not be available until Tuesday.

Nick Punto (hamstring) came off the DL today, but he鈥檚 not really 100 percent, according to manager Bob Melvin. Melvin was out of infielders in extra innings last night, rosters have expanded 鈥?so why not activate Punto? He鈥檚 probably not going to do any pinch running with a hamstring that isn鈥檛 totally healed, but he could play in the field if needed.
Here鈥檚 another reason he isn鈥檛 in the lineup [url=http://www.museosangennaro.com/Public/wdluk.php]Cheap Christian Louboutin[/url] tonight: Punto is 4 for 26 against White Sox starter John Danks, while Alberto Callaspo is 5 for 9 with a walk against Danks.
Now, when you put Callaspo at second, you鈥檙e sacrificing some defense. One scout who hadn鈥檛 seen Callaspo for a while was at a recent Oakland series and he was shocked by Callaspo鈥檚 lack of range.
I asked Melvin about balancing the potential for offense, with Callaspo (though he is 3 for his past 34 overall), vs. a dropoff in defense, and Melvin said.
鈥淎 lot of times there is a balance to it, depending on how certain guys are playing,鈥?Melvin said. 鈥?Callaspo) does have some numbers and with the lefty (Jon Lester) on the mound, there鈥檚 not as much going on at second base. And here鈥檚 a guy who鈥檚 been playing third base for quite a while and now he鈥檚 playing [url=http://www.museosangennaro.com/Public/wdluk.php]Louboutin Shoes UK[/url] second so we don鈥檛 expect him to have the best range in the world. But he catches the balls that are hit to him and he鈥檚 done a nice job acclimating to that position for the first time in a while. But a lot of times with him it鈥檚 about the offense as much as anything else.鈥?
And maybe seeing a starter he鈥檚 comfortable hitting against could get Callaspo鈥檚 bat going. Melvin noted that Callaspo is 鈥渘ot the lone ranger as far as struggling some offensively. We have several guys going through that right now, too.鈥?
Sean Doolittle will throw to hitters tomorrow, in the batting cage if expected rain drives the teams indoors. He could come off the DL on Thursday or Friday.
Here鈥檚 the lineup vs. Danks, a lefty: Crisp DH, Gentry CF, Donaldson 3B, Gomes LF, Norris C, Lowrie SS, Freiman 1B, Callaspo 2B, Fuld RF.
Some broadcast notes: ESPN dumped plans to air the [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/michaelkorssonline.php]Michael Kors uk[/url] Sept. 17 game vs. Texas (they鈥檒l show the Angels vs. the Mariners instead, ouch), so CSN California has picked it up.

For his [url=http://www.alportico.net/prodotti/christianlouboutin-sale.jkmsw.php]Christian Louboutin Boots[/url] part, Brown was reduced to hitting Kashkari for having worked for Goldman Sachs 鈥?where – and slick sales pitches. (Few before have called [url=http://www.museosangennaro.com/Public/anel.php] Christian Louboutin Shoes UK[/url] Kashkari too slick.) When Kashkari boasted that TARP brought Democrats and Republicans together, Brown sneered. 鈥淲hen you鈥檙e handing out money, you can get everybody to get along.鈥?
Kashkari hit back by reminding voters that unlike Brown, he didn鈥檛 grow up in a rich family . 鈥淢y dad wasn鈥檛 governor.I grew up mowing lawns bagging groceries.鈥?
Kashkari also was able to hit Brown for not delivering on CEQA reform and other measures that might keep employers in California. And he needled Brown for supporting measures likely to raise working families鈥?energy taxes for high-speed rail, aka Brown鈥檚 鈥渧anity鈥?project.
If Kashkari [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/gucciusaonlineoutlet.php]gucci outlet[/url] didn鈥檛 deliver a slam dunk, he held his own. And that鈥檚 no small feat. He did what he had to do.

I actually had been dubious about ever wearing these things, but clearly, strong measures were needed. This new ensemble changed the Eagles’ fortunes immediately. They erased the Jags’ lead, then went ahead on a long [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Michael-Kors-Camo-Purse]Michael Kors Camo Purse[/url] bomb, at which point a chastened Doug left for the long drive home.

WASHINGTON聽鈥?The good news is that Americans are saving more than ever for college. The bad news is that the average amount wouldn’t come close to getting a person a degree.In a report released Tuesday, the College Savings Plans Network found that the average college savings or prepaid tuition account known as a “529″ plan is now worth about $20,671 鈥?almost double what these accounts were worth during the dog-days of the recession.Called a 529 after a section in the [url=http://www.alportico.net/prodotti/christianlouboutin-sale.jkmsw.php]Christian Louboutin Pumps[/url] federal tax code, these investment accounts aren’t the only way to save for college. But they are a popular option because the money grows tax-free and withdrawals aren’t taxed so long as the money is used for college expenses.The group, which tracks the state-sponsored savings plans, attributes the increase to several factors including a healthier stock market and improved economy, as well as greater consumer awareness of 529 plans and a growing concern among parents of the cost of higher education. According to the report, contributions to 529 plans jumped from $16.5 billion in 2009 to $22.5 billion.At the same time, the $20,671 figure would only cover the first year at a public college or university. The average cost for a four-year public school, including room and board, is about $18,391 a year for in-state students but rises sharply 鈥?$31,701 鈥?[url=http://www.museosangennaro.com/Public/anel.php] Christian Louboutin Shoes UK[/url] for those from out of state. Private schools typically cost even more with $40,917 for a single year of tuition, fees, room and board, according to recent estimates by the College Board.Betty Lochner, chair of the College Savings Plans Network, said the latest finding is still good news because any amount saved is money that won’t need to be repaid with interest.”The steady increase of total assets, account size and contributions in 529 plans, are positive signs that Americans recognize saving for college as a long-term commitment and investment,” Lochner said in a statement accompanying the group’s report.Overall, the group found that college savings and prepaid tuition plans have climbed steadily since 2008, when the country fell into a recession following the crash of the housing market. That year, the average [url=http://www.alportico.net/prodotti/christianlouboutin-sale.jkmsw.php]Christian Louboutin Outlet[/url] college savings account dropped to $10,690. The nation had $104.9 billion in assets managed under the savings plans at the time.As of June this year, the average savings account almost doubled to $20,671 with total assets topping $244 billion. The group noted a particularly sharp increase in the first half of this year: Between January and June, total assets in 529 plans grew by about $17 billion.

By now, Congress sure ought to be able to come up with a package to deal with the border crisis, including the care and possible returning of more than 60,000 youths who practically strolled into the United States from violence-ridden countries in Central America.
Many House Republicans have pretty much warned the president not to do anything on immigration 鈥?particularly allowing millions of undocumented workers to stay in the country 鈥?but then they better huddle with Senate Democrats to come up with at least some alternative. And if [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Belts-Online-Wholesale-Clothing-For-Less-Aviator-Sunglasses.html]Gucci Belts Online[/url] the two sides can鈥檛 agree after years of research and debate on this issue 鈥?since at least 2007 鈥?then it will be hard to blame this president for taking action on his own. (Obama now says he鈥檒l wait till after elections.)
Unfortunately, pressing issues such as the conquest of northern Iraq by the Islamic State and immigration along our nation鈥檚 southern border will probably get no more than lip service. Democrats eyeing their prospects of losing the Senate reportedly will push such middle-class issues as student loans and the minimum wage. Republicans will seek to condemn the president for his handling of the Bowe Bergdahl-Taliban prisoner swap, even as the Middle East burns with beheadings, crucifixions and beatings.
Hopefully, Congress will pass a short-term continuing resolution to keep the government operating beyond Sept. 30 鈥?even Republicans pushing last year鈥檚 government shutdown will think twice of such dramatic and costly gestures before elections. And Congress reportedly will extend the Export-Import Bank鈥檚 authorization, at least on a short-term basis. The issue is one that has divided Republicans, so in essence they鈥檒l put off the matter till, [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Sale-Online-Watch-Strap-New-Shoes-Sweatpants.html]Gucci Sale Online[/url] yes, the elections are over.
Which gets to the real problem in Washington. Politicians anymore are in a perpetual state of campaigning 鈥?and too many Americans haven鈥檛 grasped this failure.

WASHINGTON Tests of pilots killed in plane crashes over more than two decades show an increasing use of both legal and illegal drugs, including some that could impair flying, according to a study released Tuesday by the National Transportation Safety Board.The study examined toxicology reports for almost 6,700 pilots killed in crashes from 1990 to 2012. Not only did the share of pilots testing positive for a drug increase over that period, but the share of pilots who tested positive for multiple drugs increased as well. Pilots testing [url=http://www.radiorcs.com/page.php?sale=Jimmy-Choo-Sunglasses-2010]Jimmy Choo Sunglasses 2010[/url] positive for at least one drug increased from 9.6 percent to 39 percent, while positive tests for two drugs rose from 2 percent to 20 percent and three drugs from zero to 8.3 percent.Over the same period, new drugs were coming into use and the U.S. population was aging, creating greater demand for drugs. The toxicology tests “reflect tends in the general population and likely indicate a significant increase in drug use” by pilots as well, the study said.However, the share of accidents the board has investigated in which impairment from a drug was found to be a factor hasn’t increased appreciably, the report said. Since 1990, the NTSB has cited pilot impairment due to drugs as a cause or a contributing factor in about 3 percent of fatal civil aviation accidents.Acting NTSB Chairman Chris Hart said the board “is concerned about possible safety implications of increased drug use in all modes of transportation.” He called the report “an important first step toward understanding those implications.”Dr. Mary Pat McKay, the board’s chief medical officer, said the study was limited to aviation because similarly comprehensive drug test data doesn’t exist for fatal highway, rail and maritime accidents. But it’s likely there are similar trends in those modes as well, she said.The board also voted to issue a safety alert to pilots, warning of the risk of impairment from many over-the-counter drugs. The board issued several recommendations to the Federal Aviation [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Michael-Kors-Zip-Around-Wallet]Michael Kors Zip Around Wallet[/url] Administration and state governments aimed at better communication of drug risks to pilots and operators in all transportation modes.More than 9 out of 10 of the pilots tested were private rather than commercial pilots, and 98 percent were male. The average age of pilots killed also increased markedly, from 46 years old in 1990 to 57 in 2012. The average age of pilots killed was 5 to 15 years older than the general population of active pilots.The tests also revealed increased pilot use of all kinds of drugs, including drugs that could impair a pilot’s functioning as well as drugs used to treat potentially impairing conditions such as seizure disorders and psychiatric illness.The most common drug found in the tests was an antihistamine that causes drowsiness and is a key ingredient in many over-the-counter medications for [url=http://www.radiorcs.com/page.php?sale=Jimmy-Choo-Bags-Sale]Jimmy Choo Shoes Sale[/url] allergies, colds and sleep. Sedating antihistamines in general were found in 9.9 percent of pilots tested during the last five years studied, up from 2.1 percent of the cases during the early years examined.The share of pilots testing positive for illegal drugs was small, but increased from 2.3 percent to 3.8 percent. The study attributed the increase mostly to greater marijuana use in the last 10 years.A statement by the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association, which represents private pilots, called the NTSB study incomplete and said its results “should be regarded with caution.”"There are just far too many gaps and unknowns in the study for us to be able to draw any meaningful conclusions about aviation safety,” said Mark Baker, the association’s president.

Thankfully, the NFL鈥檚 annual preseason charade is nearly over. One more exhibition, this upcoming Thursday in Houston. Then reality stands poised to commence.
What will that reality hold? Hard to say. The Niners bring back an All-Star roster that populated the top ranks of the league for the past three seasons. That same roster looked putrid during its first three preseason starts, going 1-2 while getting outscored 64-24.
That could be due to Jim Harbaugh鈥檚 obfuscating ways. Or it could mean the 49ers have grown long of tooth, yet short of bite.
One thing we [url=http://www.alportico.net/gosoc.php] true religion uk[/url] know: The preseason is a horrible waste of time. It provides nothing for fans, while exposing players to unnecessary risk. Look what happened to Rams鈥?聽quarterback Sam Bradford on Sunday. He鈥檚 out for the year with a torn ACL, suffered in a meaningless exhibition. The 49ers鈥?franchise, Colin Kaepernick, could have suffered the same fate, taking no less than four major hits from the charging Chargers before Harbaugh took him out.
So, now that we鈥檝e dispensed with the obligatory griping about NFL greed driving a pointless preseason, let鈥檚 get down to the keys to the regular season, which begins Sept. 7 聽in Dallas.
1. Unleash Colin Kaepernick: The Niners鈥?fleet-footed QB was a revelation two years ago, and again in last year鈥檚 playoffs, using his superior athletic ability to confound opponents. The team held him [url=http://www.symbiose.ca/images/christianlouboutin.gwij.php]Christian Louboutin Sale[/url] back most of last season, while he played through a foot injury suffered in Week 2 against Seattle. Now he鈥檚 presumably healthy. If Harbaugh trusts his own system 鈥?and his chosen backup QB 鈥?then he should let Kaep be Kaep.
2. Find the right understudy: It appears that Jacksonville ex-pat Blaine Gabbert will assume backup QB duties. He finally looked competent during the Niners鈥?21-7 win against San Diego on Sunday. But he also looked terrible earlier in the preseason. Why not choose Josh Johnson, a QB quarterback who goes all the way back to the University of San Diego with Harbaugh and his system? Coach has always said Johnson was one of his favorite players ever. So why does he keep cutting they guy? Seems to me there would be less adjustment if Johnson came in to spell Kaepernick. And Gabbert was a total failure in Jacksonville. Am I missing something?
3. Sign Alex Boone: The first-team offensive line looked terrible against the Chargers on Sunday, especially on the weak side manned by Mike Iupati and Joe Staley. That鈥檚 surprising, and can鈥檛 be helped by the ongoing holdout of starting strong-side guard Alex Boone. Give the man his money and put the oO-line back together. The team is developing a reputation for signing injured players on the cheap, while withholding raises to deserving, healthy starters. That bodes poorly in the long run, while Boone鈥檚 absence will hurt short-term.
4. Fix the field: The patchwork turf troubles this week were inexcusable. Coupled with the tragic earthquake that struck the Bay Area early Sunday morning, all signs pointed to calling off this last preseason game. But they played. (Read: $$) And $1.3 billion Levi鈥檚 Stadium had some seriously shoddy sod. The team needs to get this right by the home opener, Sept. 14 against Chicago. And they will.
5. Give Hyde the ball: Rookie running back Carlos Hyde was the only bright spot of the preseason. He looked great. And the team should feed him early and often, saving Frank Gore鈥檚 legs for November and December. The rookie from OhioState could be a key factor to offensive success.
6. Win the Super Bowl: [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/guccioutlet.onlinesalecc.php]Gucci Outlet Store[/url] That鈥檚 what needs to happen to ensure the return of head coach Jim Harbaugh. Anything less could mean a major shakeup before next summer鈥檚 pointless preseason. Harbaugh wants Super Bowl coach money. He鈥檒l have to win one to get it.

Should Pierce squander that opportunity, as he did in Week 1, then his involvement in the running back rotation will be sharply on the decline. The Ravens struggled to run the ball last year, which contributed to the team’s 8-8 finish.
Though the [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/michaelkorssonline.php] michael kors sale[/url] offensive line was mostly to blame for that outcome, any problems running the ball this year could easily lead to the same outcome. Clearly the Ravens [url=http://www.museosangennaro.com/Public/anel.php]Cheap Christian Louboutin Shoes[/url] do not have patience for mistakes or slow starts based on the decisions they made in Week 1.
With Pierce benched after a mere six carries, Week 2 might be his final chance to prove he can reliably shoulder the run game’s load this year. Pierce’s leash is short [url=http://www.symbiose.ca/images/christianlouboutin.gwij.php]Christian Louboutin Outlet[/url] and Forsett and Taliaferro are breathing down his neck, waiting for the chance to be named the Ravens’ true starting running back.
One more mistake a fumble, a botched blitz pickup, a dropped pass could throw Pierce to No. 3 on the depth chart, forgotten while others carry the football and the trust of the coaches.
The optimism surrounding Rose has been sky high since the start of Team USA’s training camp, but that momentum came to a halt when the point guard sat out two consecutive practices to rest his knees. While Coach K said Monday聽 that the rest was planned, Chris Sheridan of SheridanHoops.com set off some alarm bells by reporting Rose聽.
Sheridan’s report was confirmed by both聽 and聽:
A source familiar with Rose’s condition told ESPNChicago.com’s Nick Friedell that Rose has been bothered by knee soreness since his return to the floor Saturday night in an exhibition victory over Brazil in Chicago and requested the extra time to recover. But Team USA officials, to this point, have downplayed concerns about Rose’s status.
Pessimists may want to push the panic button here, but there’s little reason to do such a thing. Throughout these last [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Christian-Louboutin-Stilettos]Christian Louboutin Stilettos[/url] few years, we’ve heard how knee soreness is simply a part of the recovery process after major knee surgery. When you’ve played such little basketball in a game setting at a high intensity level over a long period of time, it’s only natural to feel that soreness when you return.
Rose himself isn’t worried about it, and Tom Thibodeau said they anticipated soreness,聽:
“Saturday night was the first time for all the players to play again, so we were anticipating soreness the next day,” said Thibodeau, an assistant on USA Basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski’s staff. “For Derrick, he had not played since November. We knew there’d be more for him. We just gave him a day or two (off), let him get his legs under him and we’ll see where he is tomorrow.”
This is just a reminder [url=http://www.radiorcs.com/page.php?sale=Jimmy-Choo-Martha-Clutch]Jimmy Choo Martha Clutch[/url] that it’s going to be a process for Rose to return to playing at an elite level. It’s not something that’s going to happen overnight. It’s easy to get caught up in all of the hype when people are talking about how he has “no restrictions” and how he looks so great in practice, but Sheridan says some of the optimism [url=http://www.radiorcs.com/page.php?sale=Kate-Spade-Gold-Coast-Maryanne]Kate Spade Gold Coast Maryanne[/url] may have been overstated. Aggrey Sam even has a source saying there’s still a chance Rose ends up withdrawing from the FIBA Basketball World Cup because of the burden he may have to carry, which would certainly be a bummer, but not the absolute worst thing in the world.
Rose likely won’t start in Team USA’s exhibition against the Dominican Republic on Wednesday due to the team’s policy of having to practice the day before a game in order to start. However, he’s still expected to suit up and play, although perhaps he doesn’t see as much floor time as he did against Brazil.

Themed 鈥淭he Real Story,鈥?the newest issue [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Sale-Wedding-Shoes-Mens-Sunglasses-Luggage-Sets.html]Gucci Wedding Shoes[/url] of 鈥淭he Baylor Line鈥?magazine retraces the group鈥檚 tumultuous relationship with Baylor, which culminated last year with a failed attempt to merge its operations with the university. The issue also reiterates BAA鈥檚 stance on the importance of maintaining an independent alumni association.
The magazine was emailed to members Wednesday, while print copies of the publication were mailed out beginning Thursday.
鈥淥ne of the most asked questions from our members was, 鈥楬ow did we get to where we are? What has happened in the past that has brought us to this place?鈥?鈥?BAA President George Cowden III said. 鈥淲e have an obligation with the members to be transparent with the decisions that we鈥檙e making and the reasons behind it, and we wanted to have members that are informed about the issues between the parties.鈥?
September 2013 vote
BAA last printed 鈥淭he Baylor Line鈥?in September 2013 ahead of a vote on a transition agreement that would have dissolved the organization and consolidated alumni outreach under Baylor. That agreement also would have created a nonvoting alumni position on Baylor鈥檚 Board of Regents and cleared the way for creation of a new nonprofit entity to continue publishing the alumni magazine.
While 55 percent of the 1,499 members who voted in-person at Waco Hall were in favor of the agreement, that did not meet the two-thirds majority required for the measure to pass in accordance with BAA鈥檚 bylaws.
Baylor then announced its intentions to sever licensing agreements that allowed BAA to function, and all but one of the alumni association鈥檚 staff members resigned, most of whom took positions at the university.
The cover story of the latest issue points to disagreements with former Baylor President Robert Sloan, who took issue with stories in 鈥淭he Line鈥?he believed were unnecessarily critical of his leadership, as the beginning of the contentious relationship.
It further charges that wealthy alumni who supported Sloan and have since served on Baylor鈥檚 Board of Regents orchestrated efforts to force the group to dissolve its charter.
The cover story does not have a byline.
Baylor Spokeswoman Lori Fogleman said the university would not comment on the magazine鈥檚 publication or content, but she said BAA has not informed the university of its future plans since the vote.
鈥淲e remain profoundly disappointed (that) the time frame now spans two years and the association apparently has not made any progress at all deciding how in the future they might be helpful to the university and our students,鈥?Fogleman said, referencing an initial period of negotiations between BAA leaders and members of the Board of Regents that lead to the proposal of the transition agreement.
鈥淲e鈥檙e in the midst of a period of historic success that鈥檚 being celebrated by Baylor Nation, and it affects every area of our university, so the inability and unwillingness of the association to fulfill its purpose to support Baylor University perplexes and saddens us.鈥?
Action timeline
The magazine also includes a timeline of actions taken by Baylor to diminish BAA鈥檚 effectiveness, including:
Sloan鈥檚 decision to revoke BAA鈥檚 funding in 2002 after the organization said it would not merge with Baylor or give up its name to be used by Baylor鈥檚 newly created Office of Alumni Services, now named Office of Constituent Engagement;
Blocking BAA from using an on-campus call center to solicit memberships and donations in 2009;
Banning BAA from addressing new graduates at commencement or having an alumni tent outside of the graduation exercises;
Barring the organization from receiving [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Sale-Purses-Sale-Sale-Handbags-Cheap-Clothing.html]Cheap Gucci Clothing[/url] graduates鈥?contact information;
Tearing down the Hughes-Dillard Alumni Center that served as BAA鈥檚 headquarters since 1978 last summer to create a grassy plaza for a pedestrian bridge across the Brazos River, connecting McLane Stadium to the main Baylor campus.
The university previously gave BAA until last December to cease using Baylor鈥檚 name and trademarks, including 鈥淭he Baylor Line鈥?title. Fogleman declined to say whether Baylor plans to take any action against BAA for continuing to use the trademarks, but added that the university is concerned about protecting the proper authorized use of its name.
Office space
The university in December locked the remaining BAA staff members out of offices the organization had been using in Baylor鈥檚 Clifton Robinson administrative tower, which forced the alumni group to rent office space off campus for the first time in its history.
Cowden said BAA disagrees that Baylor has the authority to impose such an order, based on the organization鈥檚 interpretation of licensing agreements it signed with Baylor in 1993 and 1994, which were a point of contention among members during the vote on the transition agreement.
Those documents also are reprinted in the magazine.
The future of both the alumni association and the magazine remains undecided. BAA is holding a board of directors meeting and annual membership gathering May 31 at the Waco Hilton Hotel to elect new officers and discuss general business.
An agenda has not been set, but Cowden said he [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Handbags-Outlet-Vintage-Shopping-Bag-Optical.html]Vintage Gucci[/url] expects the group will decide whether to resume printing 鈥淭he Line鈥?on a quarterly basis as it had been published in the past as well as options for the association鈥檚 future direction.
The group is considering at least three options to continue operating, including:
Keeping the name 鈥淏aylor Alumni Association鈥?and picking up its traditional programming,
Changing the name but still functioning as an alumni outreach group,
Or changing its charter to become a foundation that would focus on raising money for scholarships.
Cowden said the group is still hopeful for a reconciliation with Baylor that will allow the group to support the university while maintaining its independence.
鈥淲e鈥檙e committed to having the members decide the direction of the alumni association,鈥?Cowden said.

Rose hit his first shot of the game, a pull-up mid-range jumper in transition that’s a shot I would love to see him hit with consistency next season. makes a killing using his pull-up jumper, and while I wouldn’t want to [url=http://www.alportico.net/page.php?sale=True-Religion-Wholesale-China]True Religion Outlet Online[/url] see Rose completely fall in love with it, it’s important for him to establish that shot again as a major weapon.
The rest of Rose’s game was simply meh, as he missed both three-pointers he took and again struggled to finish around the basket. He [url=http://www.alportico.net/page.php?sale=Gucci-Shirts]Gucci Discount[/url] started the second half in place of , but the results weren’t all that different.
On a more positive note, Rose did make a few nice defensive plays and continues to do a nice job harassing ballhandlers as they bring the ball up the floor. The guard also didn’t commit a single turnover in the game, and of course, he stayed healthy despite one spill that made me cringe.
It’ll be interesting to see how the Team USA coaching staff handles Rose against the Dominican Republic tomorrow. It’ll be the middle of a back-to-back-to-back set, and they might not want to overextend him.

LONG BRANCH, N.J. (September 8, 2014) Victoria Doroshenko, [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Outlet-Online-Tshirts-Flip-Flop-Sunglasses-Repair.html]Gucci Sunglasses Repair[/url] 11, has found what appears to be an ancient spear point on a New Jersey beach.
The discovery in Long Branch, N.J. over the Labor Day weekend came weeks after a Virginia boy found a projectile point from the Paleoindian period in Beach Haven.
The girl said she was looking for shells when she found the dark-colored stone.
Greg Lattanzi with the New Jersey State Museum says he believes the girl’s object [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Belts-Sale-Baby-Men-Belts-Women-Sunglasses.html]Gucci Belts Sale[/url] was made in the Adena culture between 1,000 B.C. and 100 B.C.
[url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Sale-Flora-By-Mens-Eyeglasses-Hobo-Handbag.html]Flora By Gucci[/url] Complicating the identification process is the fact that the spear point appears to be unfinished.
The boy’s projectile point was from the early-to-mid-Paleoindian period, which dates as far back as 13,500 B.C.

Why do real estate appraisals continue to be one of the most controversial components of a residential transaction?
In fact, about one quarter of real estate transactions have had “some sort of problem with appraisals,” said Jed Smith, managing director of quantitative research at the National Association of Realtors.
“In a rising market, appraisals tend to lag behind the market because appraisals are looking backward and the market is looking forward,” Smith said.
Many appraisers and housing analysts believe problems arise from two areas-the definition of [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/guccioutlet.onlinesalecc.php]Gucci Outlet[/url] “market value” and out-of-area appraisers sent to evaluate properties outside of their areas of expertise.
Mercer Island’s Richard Hagar, a nationally recognized authority on real estate appraisals, said there is a difference between appraisers “market value” and the “market value” recognized by buyers and sellers.
“By law, appraisers must follow a federal definition of market value for lending appraisals,” Hagar said. “However, agents, buyers and sellers have a different opinion and that is what creates major conflicts. By design, the federal definition of market value is more conservative-the most probable price. While for agents, buyers and sellers it remains the highest likely price.”
Hagar’s point appears well taken. Jonathan Miller, another appraiser and national expert, said appraisers are facing an increasing number of accusations from buyers and brokers that valuations are coming in too low and under the agreed upon sales price in housing markets where prices have jumped rapidly in recent months.
Some neighborhoods have seen prices rise 25 percent in the past year. The appraisals, however, haven’t caught up to reflect the rise in prices, real estate salespersons contend. And, all expect highest likely price not highest probable price.
Miller says that most property valuations are valid, but a big contributor to the problem is due to markets that are moving too quickly and “inconsistently.” The markets that are seeing particularly scarce inventories and bidding wars may see valuations that can change “within a couple of weeks,” Miller said.
A low appraisal can prompt buyers to try to renegotiate a lower sales price or force a buyer who is trying to get financing to find a way to come up with more money in order to proceed with the sale.
Bank failures and fraud led to a move away from the “highest supportable” value. In 1989, that term was [url=http://www.symbiose.ca/images/christianlouboutin.gwij.php]Christian Louboutin Sale[/url] replaced with “most probable.” According to Hagar, this adjustment was forced on appraisers so that when values were skyrocketing upward, appraisals would likely come in under the top-end sales price.
While borrowers and real estate agents have the right to question an appraiser before allowing the appraiser access to the property, few borrowers elect to do so.
“The goal of the conversation should not be to influence the appraiser,” Hagar said, “but rather to ask the appraiser questions about their area knowledge and experience as a method of screening for competency. In our experience, appraisers traveling 150 miles from their office is an indicator that the appraiser is likely not geographically competent.”
From the homeowner’s perspective, the appraiser should be viewed as an extension of the lender. For many years, lenders had approved lists of competent, third-party providers who would provide the proper service for the amount charged. [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/guccioutlet.onlinesalecc.php]Gucci Outlet Store[/url] Some lenders truly cared about the reputations of third-party providers they choose to include under their umbrella. According to Hagar, that no longer is case because lenders are deluged by volume and have hired appraisal management companies (AMCs) to manage the load.
“From our point of view, the largest banks don’t appear to be hiring the best and brightest appraisers, they appear to be hiring based on fast and cheap,” Hagar said. The cheapest appraisers often do not have adequate knowledge or experience and, as a result, produce poor quality appraisals that harm everyone. They spend 15 minutes walking around before disappearing and their reports often kill the deal.”
If you are preparing to purchase or refinance a home, take the time to ask the appraiser a few questions about his or her background before they visit the property. Ask if they have appraised your type of property recently in your neighborhood. Inquire if the appraiser is a member of the multiple listing association and if the person has access to MLS property data. If you don’t like the answers given, contact your loan representative about hiring a different appraiser.

ALEXANDRIA, Va. 鈥?In some ways, Rebecca Wright doesn t understand all the fuss over her 96-year-old mother s recent marriage. After all, she says, Anybody who wants to get married must have a little dementia.
The courts, though, and some of Wright s other relatives aren t amused. And the future for newlyweds Edith Hill, 96, and Eddie Harrison, 95, is very much uncertain.
The two have been companions for more than a decade after a Hollywood-style meet-cute 鈥?they struck up a conversation while standing in line for lottery tickets, with one of the tickets turning into a $2,500 winner. They married earlier this year, with a 95-year-old church elder presiding over the ceremony, no less.
I guess I wanted company, Hill said in an interview, explaining why she married. I wanted somebody [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/clreplicashoes.php] Christian Louboutin Outlet Online[/url] I could help, and they could help me. We were both single. My husband was gone. His wife was gone. We became the best of friends.
Robin Wright, Hill s granddaughter, said the relationship is more romantic than Hill s explanation allows.
You catch them kissing all the time, she said. They re actually in love. Really in love. I know he s part of the reason she gets up every morning.
Legally, though, the wedding has been problematic. Hill has been declared legally incapacitated for several years. A judge said at a hearing earlier this month that he believes Wright 鈥?co-guardian over her mother along with a sister who opposed the marriage 鈥?acted improperly by taking her mother to get married without the court s permission.
Cary Cuccinelli, representing the sister who opposed the marriage, Patricia Barber, said at a hearing earlier this month that the wedding occurred without other family members knowledge, and that it complicated the matter [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/michaelkorssonline.php] michael kors sale[/url] of how to eventually distribute Hill s estate, which includes property on the edge of Old Town Alexandria, worth about $475,000, according to real estate assessments.
Legally, Mr. Harrison now has a right to a portion of Ms. Hill s estate, she told the judge, saying it also complicates decisions over who will care for Hill, and where she will live.
While the judge, James Clark, found the marriage to have been improper, he also worried that breaking up the couple could create a circumstance in Ms. Hill s life that she doesn t deserve.
Clark ended up removing Wright and Barber as Hill s guardians, and appointing a lawyer, Jessica Niesen, instead. The judge instructed Niesen to investigate the marriage and take all actions appropriate and reasonable to protect the best interests of Edith Hill.
Niesen, in a phone interview, said she is still gathering facts and has an upcoming appointment to meet Hill and Harrison. While there are numerous issues to be sorted out, including questions about inheritance and where the couple will live, she would just as soon let the marriage continue.
I see no reason to break this couple up, if there is no harm, she said. One solution might be a postnuptial agreement preventing Harrison from inheriting Hill s estate.
Niesen said that if she finds that the marriage is not in Hill s best interest, she has the authority to pursue a divorce or possibly an annulment on Hill s behalf.
Wright said she remained concerned authorities would try to break up the marriage. She also opposes a postnuptial agreement, saying the marriage should be respected just as any other.
The interracial aspect of their marriage is unique as well. She is black and he is white. In fact, the longtime Virginians would not have been allowed to marry if they had met in their 20s or 30s or 40s, given Virginia s law banning interracial marriages at the time.
Wright says she has concluded after doing some research through Guinness Book of World Records that the two are likely the nation s oldest interracial newlyweds.
Edith Hill, for her part, doesn t give the interracial aspect of her marriage too much thought, despite the fact that for half of her life it would have been illegal.
Asked about the old laws barring interracial marriage, she said, That s done away with, isn t it?
For now, the two live together in Annandale, with Rebecca and [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/michaelkorssonline.php]Michael Kors uk[/url] Robin Wright helping care for them. Rebecca Wright said the two do a good job taking care of each other 鈥?his hearing is not great, and her vision is not great. They dance, listen to music and take walks, which has improved their health.
And Rebecca Wright said the companionship two people of the same age provide each other can t be underestimated.
They can talk about things that nobody else knows about, she said.
Eddie Harrison said he and Hill never fight, and they both understood what getting married would mean.
The first time I married I didn t know what I was doing, he said. I was 18. She was 26. Two weeks later I wanted a divorce.

WASHINGTON (AP) 鈥?Tests of pilots killed in plane crashes over more than two decades show an increasing use of both legal and illegal drugs, including some that could impair flying, according to a study released Tuesday by the National Transportation Safety Board.The study examined toxicology reports for almost 6,700 pilots killed in [url=http://www.museosangennaro.com/Public/anel.php] Christian Louboutin Shoes UK[/url] crashes from 1990 to 2012. Not only did the share of pilots testing positive for a drug increase over that period, but the share of pilots who tested positive for multiple drugs increased as well. Pilots testing positive for at least one drug increased from 9.6 percent to 39 percent, while positive tests for two drugs rose from 2 percent to 20 percent and three drugs from zero to 8.3 percent.Over the same period, new drugs were coming into use and the U.S. population was aging, creating greater demand for drugs. The toxicology tests “reflect tends in the general population and likely indicate a significant increase in drug use” by pilots as well, the study said.However, the share of accidents the board has investigated in which impairment from a drug was found to be a factor hasn’t increased appreciably, the report said. Since 1990, the NTSB has cited pilot impairment due to drugs as a cause or a contributing factor in about 3 percent of fatal civil aviation accidents.Acting NTSB Chairman Chris Hart said the board “is concerned about possible safety implications of increased drug use in all modes of transportation.” He called the report “an important first step toward understanding those implications.”Dr. Mary Pat McKay, the board’s chief medical officer, said the study was limited to aviation because similarly comprehensive drug test data doesn’t exist for fatal highway, rail and maritime accidents. But it’s likely there [url=http://www.alportico.net/prodotti/christianlouboutin-sale.jkmsw.php]Christian Louboutin Sale[/url] are similar trends in those modes as well, she said.The board also voted to issue a safety alert to pilots, warning of the risk of impairment from many over-the-counter drugs. The board issued several recommendations to the Federal Aviation Administration and state governments aimed at better communication of drug risks to pilots and operators in all transportation modes.More than 9 out of 10 of the pilots tested were private rather than commercial pilots, and 98 percent were male. The average age of pilots killed also increased markedly, from 46 years old in 1990 to 57 in 2012. The average age of pilots killed was 5 to 15 years older than the general population of active pilots.The tests also revealed increased pilot use of all kinds of drugs, including drugs that could impair a pilot’s functioning as well as drugs used to treat potentially impairing conditions such as seizure disorders and psychiatric illness.The most [url=http://www.museosangennaro.com/Public/anel.php] Christian Louboutin Shoes Outlet[/url] common drug found in the tests was an antihistamine that causes drowsiness and is a key ingredient in many over-the-counter medications for allergies, colds and sleep. Sedating antihistamines in general were found in 9.9 percent of pilots tested during the last five years studied, up from 2.1 percent of the cases during the early years examined.The share of pilots testing positive for illegal drugs was small, but increased from 2.3 percent to 3.8 percent. The study attributed the increase mostly to greater marijuana use in the last 10 years.A statement by the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association, which represents private pilots, called the NTSB study incomplete and said its results “should be regarded with caution.”"There are just far too many gaps and unknowns in the study for us to be able to draw any meaningful conclusions about aviation safety,” said Mark Baker, the association’s president.___Follow Joan Lowy on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/AP_Joan_Lowy

That challenge wasn’t meant to preserve the ability of Verizon Pennsylvania, the Verizon brand that provides FiOS products and broadband and phone service to residential and small business customers, to charge a fee because it doesn’t charge them now and doesn’t intend to, Verizon spokesman Lee Gierczynski told me.Rather, he said, like [url=http://www.radiorcs.com/page.php?sale=Jimmy-Choo-Jeans]Jimmy Choo Jeans[/url] Cavalier, Verizon is standing up to an attempt by the PUC to overstep its authority to impose broad and unnecessary regulations. He said these arbitrary regulations would apply only to a small segment of communications companies that are subject to PUC regulations, while unregulated wireless, cable and Internet-based telephone providers are free to implement paper and paperless billing programs based on market demands.That gives those companies an unfair advantage, Gierczynski said.Cavalier and Verizon say state regulations don’t require a paper bill to be sent to customers, and say only that customers are entitled to a monthly bill without specifying how it’s delivered.The PUC believes the cost of paper bills should be part of normal service rates and not collected with a separate charge, spokeswoman Robin Tilley told me. We believe that utilities have the statutory obligation to provide a monthly bill that is an integral part of providing telecommunications services and is necessary for uninterrupted telecommunications services, the commission said in its July 24 order. The monthly bill provides the customer’s rates for corresponding services, and without a monthly bill the customer will not know what to pay. Moreover, the monthly bill is an important tool to prevent telecommunications fraud. Cavalier serves primarily businesses. It offers them free electronic copies of their bills but charges businesses a fee if they want a paper copy, Windstream spokesman Scott Morris said. Cavalier also has about 5,000 residential customers who receive free paper bills, and there are no plans to charge them for sending those bills, he said.In its failed to the PUC, Verizon had argued that paper telephone bills are increasingly becoming a relic of the [url=http://www.alportico.net/page.php?sale=Gucci-Sale-Handbags]Gucci Sale Online[/url] past, just like pay phones, white page phone books and rotary dial phones. Today’s environmentally savvy consumers expect a paperless billing choice, which is not surprising since eliminating archaic paper bills has enormous consumer and societal benefits, Verizon attorney Suzan Paiva wrote.The PUC doesn’t disagree. It says paperless or online billing is just fine, but must be offered on a voluntary basis and free of any condition, such as to avoid a charge. It says a fee to receive a paper bill would penalize customers who want paper bills or don’t have adequate Internet access to view an electronic version.According to PUC records, 24 of 134 phone companies that were surveyed in 2010 said they charged a paper billing fee to residential customers, business customers or both. The agency wasn’t able to provide me with a list of those companies.The fees at the time of the survey ranged from $1.95 to $3.89 a month for residential customers and $1.95 to $30 a month for business customers, depending on the number of pages in their bills, according to the PUC records.Tilley told me last month that the PUC’s independent Bureau of Investigation and Enforcement intended to investigate companies charging the fees, which could result in their being subject to fines or having to refund customers.That was before Cavalier’s appeal, though, and I doubt that would occur until the appeal is heard.The agency’s July order pertains [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Discount-Tory-Burch]Discount Tory Burch[/url] only to phone companies and not other industries that fall under the PUC’s jurisdiction, such as gas and electric utilities.

Janay Rice Ray Rice (Credit: TMZ)
(CNN) Janay Rice, wife of suspended NFL player Ray Rice, apparently posted a statement Tuesday on Instagram calling the situation a nightmare.
To take something away from the man I love that he has worked his ass off for all his life just to gain ratings is a horrific (sic), she wrote.
The Baltimore Ravens released Ray Rice on Monday after a video surfaced showing him knocking her out with a punch in February.
The Instagram post, reported by various media, appeared to be authentic.
Rice was originally suspended for two games, a punishment that many saw as [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Handbags-Authentic-Belts-Watch-Women-Sunglasses-Women.html]Gucci Watch Women[/url] too lenient.
Rice was just weeks away from returning to the gridiron when the new video surfaced and the Ravens and the NFL acted more severely.
Rice was released by the Ravens, and suspended indefinitely from football by the NFL.
The new video shows Rice punching Janay Rice, who [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Belts-Online-Man-Shoes-Sweater-Pelham-Bag.html]Gucci Belts Online[/url] was his fianc茅e at the time, inside an elevator at a hotel in Atlantic City, New Jersey, seven months ago.
TMZ Sports posted the video Monday showing Ray and Janay entering an elevator. Inside the elevator, Ray Rice punches his fianc茅e. She lunges after Rice, and then the football player hits her again and she falls to the floor.
No one knows the pain that the media unwanted options from the public has caused my family, Janay Rice wrote. To make us relive a moment in our lives that we regret every day is a horrible thing.
She added in the Instagram post: THIS IS OUR LIFE! What don t you all get.
At a press conference in July, Rice said his actions were inexcusable and that he and his wife were in counseling. The couple married March 28.
We re taking the necessary steps to [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Sale-Online-Authentic-Wallet-Group-Coupons.html]Gucci Coupons[/url] move forward, he said. My job is to lead my family. My job is to lead my wife. My job is to lead in whatever I do. And If I m not being the example, then my family crumbles.

鈥淪ince narcissists believe their status increases when they are associated with other special or high-status people, posting pictures of desirable friends may give narcissists a means of bolstering their egos,鈥?psychologist Shawn Bergman and collaborators wrote in a 2010 paper on the subject.
The Ice Bucket Challenge is a narcissist鈥檚 bonanza. You get to show yourself doing something marginally daring. Everybody will see how fit, handsome or witty you are 鈥?and how altruistic! Though the original deal was to donate to the ALS Association or pour a bucket of ice water over one鈥檚 head, people have [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Sale-Keychain-Money-Clips-Envy-Perfume.html]Cheap Gucci Sale[/url] typically done both and made no secret of it. What鈥檚 more, you get to associate yourself with all the famous people who are doing the same thing. There鈥檚 Bill Gates, who probably didn鈥檛 need the extra publicity or attention to his charity work but still built an elaborate contraption to douse himself, probably figuring he could up the ante in the ALS collection drive. There鈥檚 also Justin Bieber, who showed off his body and nominated all his fans and President Obama to upend those buckets.
There鈥檚 safety in crowds. If you鈥檙e bragging about doing something lots of others 鈥?and all those important people 鈥?are doing, you鈥檙e not really boasting. You鈥檙e showing that you fit in with the right bunch of people.
Don鈥檛 your motives still look shallow or self-serving, though?
鈥淚t is surprising to see so many people advertise their good deeds in that there exists a strong norm to be modest about prosocial behavior,鈥?London Business School professor Jonathan Berman and a group of researchers wrote in a 2014 article. After running various experiments, some of which involved posting [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Belts-Online-Discounted-Gift-Card-Credit-Card.html]Discounted Gucci[/url] reports of one鈥檚 good deeds on social networks, the group concluded that 鈥渂ragging about prosocial behavior is special because it directly undermines the information that an individual is trying to convey.鈥?If you boast about your altruism, you are seen as less altruistic. To avoid this unwelcome effect, 鈥減eople may create an appropriate context to discuss good deeds by steering a conversation in a direction that makes it appropriate to discuss prosocial behavior.鈥?
Trademarking?
The Ice Bucket Challenge provides the perfect context: You don鈥檛 talk about giving money to fight Lou Gehrig鈥檚 disease. You discuss the feel of that icy water on your pate, or Bieber鈥檚 narcissism, or Gates鈥檚 geekiness. It solves the 鈥渂raggart鈥檚 dilemma鈥?鈥?whether to tell others about your altruism 鈥?by removing the suspicion that your motives are selfish.
It鈥檚 such a perfect bit [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Handbags-Outlet-Beanie-Hat-Men-Bag-Black-Handbag.html]Gucci Handbags Outlet[/url] of social engineering that the ALS Association鈥檚 effort to trademark it is perfectly understandable. Who cares about niceties, or Matthew 6:3, when something works to raise lots of money for a good cause? This is a case where the end may well justify the means 鈥?as long as no one gets killed.
Have I taken the Ice Bucket Challenge? No. Have I donated to the ALS Association? None of your business.

Parts, but not all, of the commercial building have sprinklers.
There have been five different construction add-ons [url=http://www.alportico.net/gosoc.php] true religion uk[/url] for that building, Thomas said. The most recent add-ons would be under the most recent codes and have sprinklers. Sprinklers may not have been required when the older sections were built, he said.
There is a limit to what sprinklers can extinguish, Thomas said. They are designed to put out a fire as it gets started, with one to four sprinkler heads discharging. If the fire spreads and triggers additional sprinkler heads, they will have diminished flow of water because the system has a limited water flow. Also, if fire spreads to the space above the sprinklers, such as an attic crawl space, the fire can build and spread quickly without the sprinklers having any effect.
Investigators disclosed the cause of the fire at a news conference Tuesday afternoon at the site of the fire.
Tuesday monring, tenants gathered in front of the building and surveyed the damage from the massive fire that gutted much of the building.
Andy Tabor, owner of Focused on You, a digital imaging and computer repair service, said he was able to retrieve some of his customers equipment and data.
There is hundreds of thousands of dollars of equipment in there, said Tabor as he stared at the facade of his business. We haven t been able to see what s going on.
The fire department did a pretty good job containing it. I just don t know how much damage there is, Tabor said.
Karen Vincent, who works for Maine Society of CPAs, which was in a third-floor office visible through broken, blackened windows, described her emotional state as one of shock and disbelief.
It s surreal. I was just there yesterday, Vincent said.
Penny Kacere, who works at Scarborough Legal Center, showed up Tuesday [url=http://www.alportico.net/prodotti/christianlouboutin-sale.jkmsw.php]Christian Louboutin Sale[/url] with a pair of binoculars, trying to peer in through an open door to assess the damage to the office. Computer files are backed up on off-site servers but there are paper files, she said. The office has two large fireproof safes where it keeps wills and similar documents, she said.
It s just going to be sad if they end up tearing it down, said Kacere, who has worked in the complex since 1989.
Jim Hustus of Sullivan and Merritt Constructors leaned against the hood of his pickup and handled a succession of telephone calls as he tried to get his construction management business working again. The company has three other offices in the state so employees were relocating there and hoped to settle in by Wednesday.
However, he expects most of the company s office equipment was damaged and will need to be replaced. The office is insured, he said.
Computers, office supplies, all that stuff is gone, he said. We ve started looking for a new facility. We should be able to get on our feet again real quick, he said.
Scarborough Fire Chef Michael Thurlow said firefighters were called to the back of the building for a report of smoke and were quickly confronted with a fast-moving fire.
We had a fire that was rapidly building, he said. We pulled the crews out so nobody got hurt.
Firefighters took a defensive approach, Thurlow said, dousing the exterior with large amounts of water from multiple aerial ladders.
He said fighting the blaze was difficult in part because the building had been added onto many times creating different [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/gucciusaonlineoutlet.php] cheap gucci[/url] roof lines and voids between sections of the building that were difficult to access.
Twenty of the 24 units in the wood-frame building were rented, the chief said.
Thurlow said there are two crews of investigators working to determine the cause of the fire. One is interviewing tenants. The other is examining physical evidence. Scarborough investigators are working with the state Fire Marshal s Office and will probably be on the scene most of the day, Thurlow said.
Three firefighters who were treated for heat exhaustion have been released from the hospital and are doing fine, he said.

A man stands atop the Golden Gate Bridge, one of the nation s most notorious suicide locations.
OLYMPIA Health officials hope National Suicide Prevention Week, running from Sept. 8-14, 聽can go a long way in stemming the slowly rising tide of suicide prevalence in Washington state.
According to the Washington State Department of Health, suicide rates increased slightly in Washington from 2006-2012.
The state ranks [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/guccioutlet.onlinesalecc.php]Gucci Outlet Store[/url] 21st nationally in suicides, and聽an average of three people take their own lives in Washington each day, the health department said.聽Suicide remains the eighth leading cause of death in the state, and is聽the second leading cause in the 15-24-year-old age [url=http://www.museosangennaro.com/Public/anel.php] Christian Louboutin Shoes UK[/url] group.
Thousands of others Washington residents are hospitalized each year after hurting themselves, officials said.
The Department of Health is can shed light and public awareness on a problem that is often overlooked. Suicide is聽preventable, the health department said, if friends and family know how to recognize the signs.
Most people considering suicide give warnings, the health department said. It鈥檚 important to pay attention when people talk about feeling trapped, or about being a burden to [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/gucciusaonlineoutlet.php] cheap gucci[/url] others.
Indicators someone is thinking about suicide are: Increasing alcohol or drug use, acting anxious or agitated, behaving recklessly, sleeping too little or too much, withdrawing or feeling isolated, showing rage or talking about seeking revenge, and displaying extreme mood swings.
The health department said if you notice someone talking about wanting to die, looking for a way to kill themselves, or having no reason to live, immediately call the National Suicide Prevention Hotline, 1-800-273-8255, or a mental health professional.

A Thurston County man was sentenced to six years and seven months in prison after pouring lighter fluid on his wife s legs and igniting it in 2011.Duane M. Rader was originally found guilty of first-degree arson, felony harassment, unlawful imprisonment and fourth-degree assault and sentenced to 10 years in prison in March of 2012, with the court acquitting him of first-degree attempted murder charges.The sentence was overturned by the Washington State Court of Appeals in January of this year because the court improperly calculated his offender score during the original trial.At a court appearance Tuesday, he pleaded guilty to the same charges first-degree arson, felony harassment, unlawful imprisonment and fourth-degree assault in addition to three charges of violating a no-contact order.The charges [url=http://www.radiorcs.com/page.php?sale=Kate-Spade-Make-Up-Bag]Kate Spade Coupon[/url] stem from a Feb. 13, 2011 assault that left Rader s wife with second-degree burns on her legs. She initially told Thurston County Sheriff s deputies that she was trying to refill her lighter and accidentally lit her legs on fire, according to charging documents. The deputies didn t arrest Rader at the time because they weren t sure what had happened.The woman repeated the story later that month.But on Aug. 2, 2011, the woman contacted deputies again and told them that she had separated from Rader and wanted to tell the truth about what happened in February, according to court papers. She told deputies that Rader had been drinking heavily and slammed her head on the kitchen counter, knocking her to the floor. He then poured lighter fluid on [url=http://www.alportico.net/page.php?sale=Gucci-Shoulder-Bags]Gucci Shoulder Bags[/url] her legs and tossed a match on them, according to court papers. The incident took place in front of her 11-year-old daughter. She said Rader told her not to tell deputies what had happened because he would go to jail and lose his army career.Rader was later arrested.At the Tuesday hearing, Thurston County Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Craig Juris told Judge Anne Hirsch that the victim didn t want to appear in court or be part of another trial. It is in her best interest and in her daughter s best interest that this not go to trial again, Juris said.Rader was later charged with three counts of violating a no-contact order after calling his wife from the Thurston County Jail three times before the trial.He has been at Airway Heights Corrections Center since the 2011 trial. His attorney, Patrick O Connor, said Rader has been working to earn a college degree and better himself. I think it shows some dedication on his side to make some changes so he doesn t find himself in this situation again, O Connor said.He explained that Rader served in the Army for 15 years and completed three overseas tours. The experience left him with post-traumatic stress disorder, and he self-medicated with alcohol, O Connor said.But Hirsch argued that post-traumatic stress disorder isn t an excuse for committing violent crimes. Although that was an awful experience for you, I don t believe that PTSD causes domestic violence, Hirsch said.Hirsch decided to accept the sentencing recommendation of 6 years, seven months in prison for the first-degree arson charge, which is outside of the standard sentencing range of five years, one month. She awarded the exceptional sentence because victim s child was present during the incident. I can see that what you did was terrifying and awful for your victim and the child that was present, Hirsch said.Rader was also sentenced to one year and nine months for felony harassment and [url=http://www.radiorcs.com/page.php?sale=Jimmy-Choo-Kitten-Heels]Jimmy Choo Discount[/url] unlawful imprisonment, and one year for fourth-degree assault and the three violating a no-contact order charges. He will serve the sentences concurrent with the first-degree arson sentence.

Construction is underway on South Puget Sound Community College s new Lacey campus, an $11 million project that Lacey officials expect to be a shot in the arm for the neighborhood and possibly fill long-vacant buildings.Work began last month and the project is expected to be finished in summer 2015, college spokeswoman Kellie Purce Braseth said.The college paid $4 million for the complex of five buildings on Sixth Avenue across from the Intercity Transit station, formerly known as Rowe Six.The plan is to transform the 50,000-square-foot [url=http://www.symbiose.ca/images/christianlouboutin.gwij.php]Christian Louboutin Outlet[/url] Building 1, which faces Sixth Avenue, into an entrepreneurial center. It will combine the college s Small Business Development Center and the Thurston County Economic Development Council in a single destination to support entrepreneurs and business start-ups.The EDC, its staff and services will move into the new building, EDC Executive Director Michael Cade said.The organization also plans to work with several community partners such as chambers of commerce, the city of Lacey, The Evergreen State College and Saint Martin s University, Joint Base Lewis-McChord and Enterprise for Equity.But Building 1 also will be home to corporate and continuing education staff and classes, as well as other classrooms, computer labs and student services, Purce Braseth said.The college also will occupy Buildings 2 and 3. Building No. 3 will be home to an advanced manufacturing program. Meanwhile, Buildings 4 and 5 likely will be demolished to make way for either parking or a new [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/michaelkorssonline.php]Michael Kors uk[/url] building, she said.In all, about 11,000 people will use the campus. The estimate combines students taking credit classes and others, such as state workers, participating in training.City officials hope that influx of people will inject some life into the Woodland District and specifically, Woodland Square Loop. Woodland Square Loop surrounds Huntamer Park, and many nearby office buildings have significant vacancies, the result of the recession and downsizing. Several of those buildings have a new owner: MJR Development of Kirkland.The city of Lacey also recently announced a plan to sublease from the college about 1,000 square feet in Building 2 to create a military service center.The city has a memorandum of understanding with veterans centers in Tacoma and Federal Way to provide services in Lacey, with an emphasis on behavioral health. The center is expected to open in October.Meanwhile, SPSCC [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/clreplicashoes.php]Christian Louboutin Outlet[/url] s existing Lacey campus is on Hawks Prairie between Marvin Road and Galaxy Drive. The college has leased the space since 1995, but in 2005 it purchased property off Marvin Road and set out to build a new campus. Since then, economic changes have taken the college in a new direction.The Marvin Road property, for which the college paid $6.2 million, is for sale, Purce Braseth said.

BAA President Keith Starr announced the news in written statement Wednesday. The lawsuit charges BAA is improperly using Baylor鈥檚 name and trademarks.
The lawsuit stems from long-standing tension between the two entities about BAA鈥檚 independent status.
A transition agreement crafted by Baylor regents and a [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Belts-Sale-Leather-Jackets-Laptop-Sleeve-Men-Boots.html]Gucci Leather Jackets[/url] group of elected BAA leaders and members of the board, which would have dissolved the organization鈥檚 charter, failed to secure enough votes from alumni association members to pass. Those leaders and several other association board members resigned after the failed vote.
鈥淲e have tried for several years now to reach an agreement with the university that enables us to preserve our name; the title of our magazine, the Baylor Line; and keeps our commitment to thousands of Baylor alumni,鈥?Starr said in the release.
鈥淗owever, the university has rejected our attempts at peace for over a decade and has chosen to continue its efforts to marginalize the BAA, up to and including suing its officially recognized alumni organization.鈥?
Keith Starr is not related to Baylor President Ken Starr.
Keith Starr told the Tribune-Herald the BAA is finalizing options for legal counsel to represent the organization.
鈥淭he executive committee is disappointed that we find ourselves being sued by the institution we all care about,鈥?Keith Starr said.
Baylor filed the lawsuit last week in Waco鈥檚 74th District Court, arguing that it has severed the licensing agreements that previously allowed the BAA to use the university鈥檚 name and to operate as Baylor鈥檚 official alumni organization.
The alumni association previously has argued that those agreements, signed in 1993 and 1994, are in effect in perpetuity and cannot be terminated, which should allow the group to continue operating with the same name.
Failed agreement
Baylor initially gave the BAA until Dec. 8 to stop using its name, a notice that followed the Sept. 7 vote on the transition agreement.
The agreement had approval from 55 percent of BAA members who voted on the issue in person, then a requirement in the group鈥檚 bylaws. But a two-thirds majority was needed to approve it.
The university is seeking a judgment ordering the group to [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Belts-Sale-On-Sale-Clearance-Sunglasses.html]Gucci Clearance[/url] cease using registered marks, including the name 鈥淏aylor鈥?and 鈥淏aylor University.鈥?
The university also wants injunctive relief 鈥渢o limit BAA鈥檚 purposes by reformation to provide only financial assistance to Baylor students.鈥?
Baylor spokeswoman Lori Fogleman on Monday said the BAA has 鈥渇ailed to act in response to the university鈥檚 continued request to provide any real or concrete plan of action to Baylor. The university is moving to protect the interest of Baylor, its students and alumni by seeking appropriate legal relief rather than simply waiting further for some indication of actual progress from the association.鈥?
Fogleman declined additional comment Wednesday on the BAA鈥檚 response.
Baylor charged in the lawsuit that the BAA has 鈥渁bandoned its charitable purposes鈥?as outlined in the association鈥檚 bylaws, including raising money for student scholarships.
The suit specifically notes a $1 million scholarship pledge from the BAA in February 2013 that was never completed, though the BAA has said the donation was not completed because of the discussions surrounding [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Outlet-Mens-Men-Boots-Men-Sunglasses.html]Men Gucci Boots[/url] the transition agreement.
鈥?BAA) has not abandoned its charitable purpose, to the extent that its charitable purpose has been impeded by conduct of the university,鈥?Keith Starr said.
Baylor hired 10 of the BAA鈥檚 staff after the vote on the transition agreement, Keith Starr said. But Fogleman said those hires were requested and approved by association leaders and included as part of the transition agreement. Though the agreement failed, Baylor went through with the hires.
Alumni center razed
The university in July razed the Hughes-Dillard Alumni Center the BAA had used as its headquarters since 1978, and later kicked the remaining BAA staff out of on-campus offices the organization had moved into, an action that followed the Dec. 8 deadline.
Fogleman said the same elected BAA leaders who agreed to the transition agreement also signed off on razing Hughes-Dillard in a separate document, a claim also made in Baylor鈥檚 lawsuit.
The BAA has continued to meet to discuss its future direction and mission. The group鈥檚 board of directors announced plans earlier this month to solicit feedback from members on three possible options 鈥?solely raising money for scholarships, focusing only on alumni communications or a combination of both activities.
Keith Starr said the BAA still will proceed with those plans.

BOSTON (AP) — Nine-term incumbent U.S. Rep. John Tierney on Tuesday conceded defeat to political newcomer Seth Moulton in the Democratic primary in the state’s 6th Congressional District.Tierney would be the first sitting Massachusetts congressman to lose a primary since 1992, when former U.S. Rep. Marty Meehan beat then-incumbent Chester Atkins in the Democratic primary.Moulton, a former Marine and Iraq war veteran from Salem, would face Republican Richard Tisei in the November election. He ran a well-financed campaign in his bid to unseat Tierney and suggested the incumbent had been ineffective in Congress. By mid-August, Moulton had raised $1.6 million compared with the $1.9 million raised by Tierney.During much [url=http://www.museosangennaro.com/Public/wdluk.php]Cheap Christian Louboutin[/url] of the primary Tierney had focused his attention on Tisei.Then, late in the primary, Tierney launched a campaign ad linking Moulton to Republicans who support gun rights and oppose abortion rights. The ad focused on money the Moulton campaign received from the White Mountain PAC, which is affiliated with former U.S. Sen. Judd Gregg, a New Hampshire Republican.Moulton said the ad showed that Tierney believed he was a serious challenger.Moulton has argued he would have a stronger chance of holding off Tisei, a former state senator who lost to Tierney by [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/michaelkorssonline.php] michael kors handbags[/url] less than 1 percent of the vote in the 2012 election. Tierney had responded by saying he had beaten Tisei.Immigration attorney Marisa DeFranco and two other Democrats, John Gutta and John Patrick Devine, also were on the primary ballot.It was the second tough campaign for Tierney. In 2012, he was dogged by questions about what he knew of an illegal offshore gambling ring involving his wife’s family.Moulton, a 35-year-old businessman and Harvard graduate who enlisted in the Marines in 2001, described himself in a campaign ad as a “progressive Democrat who opposed the war in Iraq.”"But I also was a Marine serving my country,” Moulton said. “So I went, led my platoon and always ate last after my men.”During the campaign, Moulton expressed his opposition to another ground war in Iraq as President Barack Obama considers the nation’s options for fighting back against Islamic State militants.Moulton also backs abortion and gay rights, tighter restrictions on gun ownership and comprehensive immigration reform. About 8 percent of the district’s population served in the military, and about 15 percent are age 64 or older.During the primary, Moulton suggested that Tierney’s victory two years ago was due in part to the political coattails of Obama and consumer advocate Elizabeth Warren, who were on the ballot and helped draw Democrats to the polls. Warren [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/gucciusaonlineoutlet.php]gucci outlet[/url] won a U.S. Senate seat against Republican Scott Brown.Tierney had rejected Moulton’s suggestion, arguing that he had the issues on his side.The general election could be equally hard fought.Republicans see the 6th Congressional District at their best chance to pick up a seat in Massachusetts.Tisei has already been the beneficiary of a $350,000 ad buy from the conservative U.S. Chamber of Commerce earlier in the year.

Miriam Carey, 24, died in a hail of bullets after Capitol police, Secret Service and metro police chased her black Infinity from the White House entrance to the spot near the Capitol where her car finally crashed, before police opened fire.
According to WNBC reporter Jon Dienst, interviews with friends and relatives of the former Brooklyn resident, who had worked as [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Tory-Burch-Beach-Tote-Sale]Tory Burch Beach Tote Sale[/url] a in Connecticut before being last August, reveal that Carey had been on anti-depressant and was previously diagnosed with pychosis.
The interviews by police investigators reveal that she had recently been off her medication, which was for both psychosis and postpartum depression.
According to Carey s former employer, she suffered head and spinal injuries after falling down a flight [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Tory-Burch-Kuwait]Tory Burch Kuwait[/url] of stairs in January 2012, just one month before learning that she was pregnant.

We enjoyed a leisurely three-hour afternoon paddle exploring the perimeter of the pond and the circuitous channel leading three miles north to the East Orrington boat launch park and outlet dam. Except for a cluster of cottages west of the boat launch and a few on the southern shoreline, the pond provides a serene wilderness setting with 1,600 feet of the eastern shoreline part of the Audubon preserve. The 22-acre island down near the outlet channel is also owned by Maine Audubon. This time of year, given low water levels, the island is connected to the mainland by a swath of pickerelweed leaves and marsh grasses. Note the large boulder rising out of the water east of the island. Two bronze commemorative plaques are attached to it in tribute to two men who dearly [url=http://www.museosangennaro.com/Public/anel.php] Christian Louboutin Shoes UK[/url] loved this little piece of paradise. Near here is a large eagle nest with family in residence.
Shaded ledges along the southern shoreline are perfect for pulling out and relaxing. To the north you will see the white Curran Homestead up on the hill. It was dead calm on our visit, and we were treated to endless mirrored reflections in the water.
We saw many blue herons along the southern shoreline and up and down the outlet channel. Red-tailed hawks glided over the treetops keeping an eye out over the vast marsh west of the pond. A number of painted turtles swam under our canoe after tumbling down off grassy perches at our approach. There are many tall white pines right at water s edge within the Audubon preserve. East of the pond a series of hills and forested ridges rise from the water, culminating in 802-foot Copeland Hill. To the west, marshes and pockets of forest lead four miles to the Penobscot River at Orrington.
It takes about an hour to follow the outlet channel up to East Orrington. We saw a number of other paddlers, some with their dogs with them in their canoe, others fishing out of their kayaks. After a mile you will pass under a wide power line and then under the Brewer Lake Road bridge. From here the channel twists and turns, first west, then due north. Look for migrating songbirds and sparrows, and ever-vigilant [url=http://www.museosangennaro.com/Public/wdluk.php]Louboutin Shoes Outilet[/url] hawks across the open expanse of marsh.
As the crow flies you are six miles from Bangor International Airport. We could hear the occasional roar of a jet engine in the distance and would scan the sky to see if we could catch it on its climb to the south. The sound of planes was a lot different in 1927 when Godfrey Field opened. In the 1930s the renowned Amelia Earhart was often the pilot for Boston-Maine Airways on their forays to Bangor. Her star status attracted much attention to the new carrier that later became known as Northeast Airlines. Remember those jazzy Yellowbirds of the mid-1960s?
Up the slope and across the road from the Fields Pond boat launch sits the Curran Homestead overlooking the pond. This living history museum captures the essence of Maine rural living in the early 1900s. Take some time to walk around the property. There are an amazing variety of vintage tractors and farm equipment, including classic Fordson tractors developed by Henry Ford in 1917 and manufactured in Dearborn, Michigan, until production was moved to Cork, Ireland, in 1925. Museum director Bruce Bowden is very enthusiastic and welcomes visitors with a big smile and a wealth of fascinating information. On Saturday Sept. 27 they are holding their annual Harvest Festival, with fresh cider, [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/clreplicashoes.php]Christian Louboutin Shoes Sale[/url] homemade cookies and many fun events, including the jitterbug pulling challenge that has nothing to do with dancing, Come see what it is all about. You ll even get to see a working crank style telephone in operation.
Still have lots of exploratory energy left? Stop in at the Audubon Center up the road and hike along the pond or in the meadows and woods. They have many miles of trails to enjoy, and the foliage is just starting to turn.

The driver of a pickup truck died in a single-car crash on South Road in Chebeague Island Monday afternoon after striking a utility pole.
The driver, who was the only [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/clreplicashoes.php] Christian Louboutin Outlet Online[/url] person in the 1998 Ford Ranger truck, has not been identified pending notification of the family. The driver was not wearing a seat belt and was pronounced dead at the scene of the accident, which [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/guccioutlet.onlinesalecc.php]Gucci Outlet Store[/url] occurred around 4:24 p.m. Monday.

NAPA 鈥?When life goes wrong, some resort to suicide or terrorist attacks. But the only thing plans on killing is NFL defenses.
On August 4聽the Oakland Raiders published their , and McFadden was listed behind . The 2008 fourth overall pick from Arkansas has been the Week 1 regular season starter at tailback since his rookie year, but it s聽not yet time to bury聽the tradition.
鈥淚鈥檓 going out there competing every day, and I fully expect to (start),鈥?McFadden told Sports Out West after the announcement.
The battle for top dog between McFadden and Jones-Drew is not as crucial as one may think. Both backs expect to split carries this season, with the ex-Jacksonville Jaguars star used primarily as a grinder and the incumbent maximized as an open-space weapon. While the pair has stopped short of sharing lunch with each other, McFadden noted that his rival is a good [url=http://www.alportico.net/page.php?sale=Gucci-Man-Bag]Gucci Discount[/url] teammate.
鈥淲e always talk. We go back and forth about what we see on the field, and he鈥檚 a veteran guy, a great guy. I look forward to going out there playing with him.鈥?
McFadden knew what he was getting into when he turned down rosier opportunities to re-sign with the Raiders for one year and $ million this offseason. In addition to Jones-Drew, the 26-year-old will have to fend off tantalizing prospect , but stiff competition was apparently never a factor.
鈥淚鈥檓 a loyal guy. I want to be here (in Oakland),鈥?stressed McFadden. 鈥淚 started my career here and you know this is the place I want (to) be. This is like a second home to me.鈥?
Knee, ankle and foot injuries have stunted McFadden鈥檚 potential, causing him to miss 29 of 96 regular season games. The Raiders recently changed the back鈥檚 weight lifting routines in an attempt to keep him healthier (as by Jerry McDonald), but his in-game habits may be [url=http://www.alportico.net/page.php?sale=Flora-By-Gucci]Cheap Gucci Uk[/url] the issue. McFadden models himself after and , two north-south runners who also struggled with injuries. Nonetheless, the 6-foot-2, 210-pounder is ready to give his shoulder-checking strut another go.
鈥淢y body feels great and my health is good, so I鈥檓 looking forward to getting out there and playing.鈥?
McFadden鈥檚 best pro season was in 2010 when he rushed for 1,157 yards on 223 attempts (5.2 average) and 507 yards through the air on 47 catches (10.8 average) with聽10 total touchdowns in 13 games. McFadden led the league in rushing yards (610) through Week 6 in 2011 before a Lisfranc injury did聽him in.
Recognizing his career is [url=http://www.alportico.net/page.php?sale=True-Religion-Jeans-Website]True Religion Jeans Website[/url] at a crossroads, the six-year veteran is primed to take advantage of a rebuilt front five and make his name infamous in Raiders lore.
鈥淚 want to be one of those guys that people say had a bad start to my career as far as injuries and things, but came on strong towards the end of my career and left a lasting impression on the league.鈥?
鈥淚鈥檓 just looking forward to getting the season started.鈥?

TEMPLE (September 8, 2014) Doctors at McLane Children’s Hospital in Temple Monday said they鈥檙e monitoring a jump in the number of patients with respiratory illnesses, but say the strain here is not as severe as a severe virus that has sickened hundreds of children in about a dozen states in the Midwest.
The hospital received more than 100 reports of children with respiratory issues last week.
“Once school starts and you have [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Handbags-Outlet-Beanie-Hat-Men-Bag-Black-Handbag.html]Black Gucci Handbag[/url] a respiratory virus that’s as aggressive as this is,” Dr. Dominic Lucia, McLane Children’s Hospital emergency medical director.
“It’s the perfect combination to really cause quite a bit of illness in the community. We in Texas and in the central Texas area have been fortunate. We haven’t been hit quite as hard as some of the other states but we are still seeing especially in our asthmatic population and what we call our 鈥榖ronchiolitic鈥?population.”
“You have to look at your child, see what preexisting conditions they have and pay attention [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Outlet-Online-James-Franco-Mane-Videos-Mission-Statement.html]Gucci Mane Videos[/url] to signs and symptoms,” he said.
There’s no treatment or vaccine for the respiratory virus.
Only supported care such as hydration, rest, and staying away from other children can help relieve the symptoms, he said. [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Sale-Online-Glasses-Frames-Sweaters-Handbag.html]Gucci Glasses Frames[/url]
Seton Medical Center in Harker Heights has also noted an increase in similar cases in the last couple of weeks.
The suspected culprit in the Midwest, where nearly 500 children were treated at one hospital alone in Kansas City, Mo., is called enterovirus 68, an uncommon strain of a very common family of viruses that typically hit from summertime through the fall.
The virus typically causes illness lasting about a week and most children recover with no lasting problems.
The U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration is requiring local governments to evaluate their bridges for new load ratings by Dec. 2017, to ensure that the structures can handle modern vehicles that are designed to haul heavier loads. Thurston County Public Works is about a third of the way through checking those weight limits on the 119 roadway bridges in its inventory, according to civil engineer Matt Unzelman.However, the county is going to hire an outside firm to do some of the inspections. The Board of [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Chritian-Louboutin]Chritian Louboutin[/url] County Commissioners voted 3-0 to hire Exeltech Consulting Inc. of Lacey to conduct that work on 10 structures, ranging from the Old Highway 101 Bridge to the Mud Bay Bridge. Some of our more structurally complex bridges are included with these 10 bridges, Unzelman told The Olympian. We just need a different level of expertise. The ratings will determine if the county needs to add a weight limits to some of its structures, he said.County manager Cliff Moore described the work as routine, but said it s an important long-term process for the county. Like most jurisdictions in the nation, we are trying to keep on this issue, he said. The money will come from the county s road fund, and will include the following structures. (Size and inspection information was listed in the county s 2014 Bridge Index.) James Road Bridge (culvert), known as J-1, which goes over an overflow channel, was built in 1985. The 25-foot-long structure was given a 98.19 sufficiency rating during an Aug. 8, 2012, inspection. Littlerock Road Bridge, known as L-5, which goes over a ditch, was built in 1960. The 20-foot-long bridge was given a 49.66 rating during a Nov. 21, 2013 inspection. Crews made some emergency repairs on the bridge this spring for scour and cracking. It is just down the road and the same design as the L-4 Bridge which is undergoing a complete replacement [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Miller-Thong-Tory-Burch]Miller Thong Tory Burch[/url] due to structural deficiencies. Mud Bay Bridge, known as O-4, which goes over Mud Bay, was built in 1978. The 208-foot-long bridge was given a sufficiency rating of 77.02 during a Sept. 27, 2012 inspection. Old Highway 101 Bridge, known as O-3 which goes over Perry Creek, was built in 1958.The 105-foot-long bridge was given a sufficiency rating of 80.31 during a Sept. 14, 2012 inspection. Oyster Bay Culvert, known as OB-1, which goes over Schneider Creek, was built in 2010. The 20-foot-long bridge was given a sufficiency rating of 85.8 during a June 12, 2012, inspection. Steamboat Island Bridge, known as S-7, which goes over Totten Inlet, was built in 1982. The 706-foot-long structure was given a sufficiency rating of 68.73 during a Sept. 14, 2012, inspection.

The defense, while not spectacular or even good, was at least competent. Expectations were that they would be much worse than that this season. looks to be playing the game with a passion, and although it will take some time for him to get fully in to the swing of things, the former first-round draft pick is showing [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Sale-Jackie-Bag-Book-Bag-Tee-Shirts.html]Gucci Book Bag[/url] the potential to be the player that the Dallas front office thought he could become. Rod Marinelli and his staff have a baseline to build upon in the coming weeks, and it is higher than what many expected it to be.
The Bad
The Dallas offense, even though they proved that they could move the ball effectively, displayed a tenancy to shoot itself in the foot. shoulders a good portion of the blame with his three interceptions early, but there is plenty of responsibility to be shared. There were mental errors from Pro Bowl caliber tackle and future Hall of Famer Jason Witten. Terrence Williams is still trying to catch the ball with his body, and had a critical turnover on the opening series. The offense cannot afford another outing where it does not get in sync early. Even though the defense looked better than expected, Romo and Company are going to have to have to establish Cowboys dominance early and often for Dallas to experience success.
The Ugly
The Cowboys dominated the the time of possession in the first quarter. They held the [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Sale-Online-Women-Wallet-Coin-Purse-Mens-Clothes.html]Gucci Sale Online[/url] ball for, if my memory is correct, over 13 minutes. Sometimes that is good, it means that the offense is moving the ball and putting points on the board. At other times it means that the opponent’s defense is scoring or giving their offense a short field where they can strike quickly. On Sunday the San Francisco defense was doing both. The Cowboys ability to to make the Niners’ depleted defense look better than they actually were dug the team a hole that they could not escape. By the time the game’s second stanza began, the fat lady was tuning up and getting ready to sing. Take away the first 15 minutes and Dallas played well enough to have at least been in the game. As it was, there way too much ugly for them to overcome.
Like everyone else in Cowboys Universe I am saddened by what we saw on Sunday. Unlike many I am also taking away some positives. The team is a work in progress but I saw enough to believe that they can be more successful than many expect. It will take work, and plenty of it, but this can be a [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Belts-Online-Winter-Boots-China-Womens-Loafers.html]Gucci China[/url] decent season. The first thing that must happen is the team needs to stop beating themselves. Everything revolves around that. The Dallas Cowboys are not good enough to play ugly and win.

Competitive gaming, or eSports, is bigger than ever. Valve recently partnered with ESPN to air coverage of back in July with $10 million in prizes up for grabs. Even [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Belts-Sale-Com-Shoes-Outlet-Locations-Outlet.html]Gucci Belts Sale[/url] still, however, eSports aren t thought of as a real sport according to ESPN president John Skipper.
During a recent , the executive likened eSports to chess and checkers by that, he means it s a competition, not a sport. Skipper followed up by saying he is mostly interested in doing real sports.
To put the comments into context, they came as a result of someone asking him to comment on . One might expect such comments in retaliation from, say, that was also vying for the acquisition. But for ESPN to say that is a [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Handbags-Outlet-Watch-Repair-Wedge-Women-Watch.html]Gucci Women Watch[/url] bit bizarre.
Following the successful broadcast of the Dota 2 tournament in mid-July which surpassed expectations across the board, rumors circulated that ESPN was looking to expand its eSports coverage. The source for said rumor indicated the network was in advanced talks with Major League Gaming to possibly cover MLG s Call of Duty competitions.
Personal opinions aside, there s no doubt a ton of money to be made from eSports. Sure, gaming tournaments likely wouldn t bring in the kind of ratings one would expect from college football, the NFL, the NBA and other major sporting events but given ESPN s vast number [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Handbags-Outlet-Sukey-Mens-Shirts-Rings.html]Mens Gucci Shirts[/url] of channels, I m sure they could find a few empty slots to fill out their lineup.

Social safety net programs overseen by Washington s biggest state government agency are running in the red, and the hole likely will require a $25 million patch from the Legislature in January.That s the assessment of Department of Social and Health Services Secretary Kevin Quigley, who described the situation as a budget crisis. He said a surge in calls to Child Protective Services hotlines, higher costs in welfare programs and mental hospitals, and information technology needs are all driving his agency s budget shortfall.Quigley said that shortfall is in addition to the $30 million needed to stop the practice of psychiatric boarding, which the state Supreme Court ruled last month must stop. The high court has given until Dec. 26 to halt the practice of sticking such patients in hospital emergency rooms without appropriate treatment.Beyond the psychiatric boarding issues, the department s shortfall which Quigley estimated at $25 million to $26 million includes a gap in Child Protective Services where calls to hotlines reporting abuse or seeking help have been surging. Quigley [url=http://www.symbiose.ca/images/christianlouboutin.gwij.php]Christian Louboutin Outlet[/url] thinks he ll need $6 million to $8 million in emergency spending to fix the problem, and he may have to add 50 to 100 more staffers.Calls and investigations have increased by 10 to 15 percent and have led to a backlog of 2,000 cases not handled within the 90-day limit his agency must meet. Quigley said there were about 2,000 cases exceeding that limit when Gov. Jay Inslee took office in early 2013. The agency had since reduced the backlog to about 600 cases, only to see it go back up to 2,000. There should be zero cases open more than 90 days. In fact, there should be zero cases open more than 60 days, in my opinion, he said.One other particular area of concern is the state s mental hospitals, which overspent budgets by about $3 million in the year that ended June 30. These facilities will be $6 million in the hole by the time lawmakers return in January, Quigley said. The big challenge normally is if you don t have funding, you have to close a ward. But the Legislature has been quite clear they don t want to close wards, Quigley said. He said lawmakers of both parties deserve credit for [url=http://www.alportico.net/gosoc.php] true religion outlet[/url] raising funding for mental hospitals, but he expects them to have concerns about the management of overtime pay as they try to contain costs. Other costs are rising in welfare programs, which have required extra personnel to process claims. A big piece of potentially $8 million in extra expenses is in information technology and includes a fix for the computer program used to determine eligibility for benefits. Other costs are for doing incapacity exams for disabled people who are in transition to being covered by Social Security and to move community-services staffers in Vancouver from a leased building to a state-owned structure.The agency is having more success sticking to the budget in other [url=http://www.museosangennaro.com/Public/anel.php] Christian Louboutin Shoes Outlet[/url] areas. Budgets for aging and long-term care, developmental disabilities and juvenile rehabilitation seem to be in good shape, according to the secretary.Top House and Senate budget writers could not be reached immediately for comment Monday. But the welfare programs division known as Community Services recently staged from Senate Republican Leader Mark Schoesler of Ritzville, who called it a splurge. I m very skeptical of their budgeting. I think they always have slush money tucked away (Agencies) always trot out the most needy or cite a court ruling, Schoesler said Monday. But clearly we re not out of budget difficulties and they ve shown real insensitivity. Quigley defended the trainings, which the agency estimated to have cost $217 for each of the more than 2,100 employees who attended two-day workshops in Tacoma. The state paid $17,500 to a humorist and motivational speaker to address each of three workshops, but Quigley said community service offices have high turnover and it makes sense to spend $217 on boosting a staffer s morale than to spend $25,000 training a new worker.

Here鈥檚 how this crazy experiment came about: I was watching TV with my wife and suddenly found myself in a big fat puddle of embarrassing ugly cry, thanks to an Extra Gum commercial about birds and college and heartbreak 鈥?something like that. It was hard to tell what [url=http://www.museosangennaro.com/Public/anel.php] Christian Louboutin Shoes UK[/url] was going on through all those tears.
When I had a kid, some change came over me and all of a sudden those long distance and coffee commercials that I used to be able to ignore started turning me into a crazy mess of emotion. They just sneak up on you, these commercials. One second, you鈥檙e watching a favorite show and then next you have to excuse yourself for a moment to regroup.
That鈥檚 how a contest to see which commercial is the hands down winner for the biggest emotional impact.聽
In hindsight, I shouldn鈥檛 have used the word Sappy, because I think that implies a level of cheesiness that these commercials don鈥檛 offer. Thunderdome of Heartbreaking Parenting Commercials, perhaps?
Oh well, too late. After seeing two rounds of these fabulous commercials, I think you get the point anyway.
And now here we are.聽Round Three.聽This is the biggie.
Listed below are all eight commercials that have survived the first two rounds.聽The top two move on the final round.
Watch all eight and then vote for your top two at the bottom. But be warned: You might need a moment to leave the room and regroup 鈥?
1. EXTRA GUM BIRDS
The commercial that started it all. After watching it 5,000 times for this contest, the dad sort of reminds me of an origami-making robot now. [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/guccioutlet.onlinesalecc.php]Gucci Shoes[/url] But the pay off at the end still gets me every time. I鈥檓 wagering this moves on to the final round.
2. THAI THIEF TURNS DOCTOR
A long one, to be sure, but so, so worth it. Why don鈥檛 we make commercials like this in America? This is a contender for sure.
3. P G 鈥?THANKS, MOM
This P G campaign gets spread around social media like wild fire every four years for its celebration of sports moms and champion making.
4. VISA 鈥?DEREK REDMOND
Another sports-parenting moment and arguably the best sports-parenting commercial of all time. Nine times out of 10 I can barely make it through this one.
5. AD COUNCIL 鈥?KETCHUP SOUP
By this time in the commercial viewing, you鈥檙e probably a wreck. And I apologize because it鈥檚 about to get a whole lot worse. This could easily move on to the final [url=http://www.alportico.net/gosoc.php] true religion outlet[/url] round and be our champion. I predict at least a Top 3 finish.
6. COCA COLA 鈥?LIFE
This one will turn you into a mess for different reasons, and it鈥檚 so refreshing to see a commercial dad just absolutely gushing in a joy so profound that it will bring tears of happiness to your eyes. This aired in Argentina and again, I wonder why American audiences aren鈥檛 getting commercials like these. I predict this will be in the final round.
7. BUDWEISER 鈥?CLYDESDALE
Yes, it鈥檚 a horse. But it FEELS like a parenting bond. Probably the best combination of song and images in the whole mix.
8. PFIZER 鈥?BE BRAVE
Anyone who has ever had a brother or sister can relate to the lengths we鈥檇 go to for each other. If you鈥檙e not a puddle at the end of this, you鈥檙e not human.

School Director Lynn Donches objected to the open-endedness of the contract and also to the removal of the debris before a criminal investigation ensued and [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Michael-Kors-Cheap]Michael Kors Cheap[/url] the perpetrator potentially held accountable. She suggested removing the asbestos before such an investigation would essentially be tampering with evidence. Since it has to do with an environmental hazard I’m concerned there could be legal ramifications to the district, she said.Schilder confirmed that the police had not been notified and that the school district’s top priority was to remove the material. We chose the best of three quotes, financially, he said. You want that open-ended piece because you want them to do it right. The initial cost to East Penn School is $18,500. The contract states that any volume in excess of six 15-yard containers [url=http://www.alportico.net/page.php?sale=Baby-True-Religion-Jeans-On-Sale]Baby True Religion Jeans On Sale[/url] of asbestos waste material will be billed at a rate of $1,600 yards per container and that any fill material brought into the site in excess of six tri-axle loads would be billed at a rate of $320 per tri-axle.Schilder, who stepped in as superintendent this summer, said he was made aware of the situation less than a month ago. School board member Ziad Munson likened waiting for an investigation to remove the hazardous material to [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Louboutin-Prive]Louboutin Prive[/url] not putting out a building engulfed inflames until it could be determined who discarded the lit cigarette.The school board voted 8-1 to contract A.L.M. to remove and dispose the material, with Donches casting the dissenting vote.Dan Sullivan is a freelance writer.

BETHLEHEM, N.Y. (September 9, 2014) A [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Discount-Authentic-Outlet-Wear-Old-Watches.html]Gucci Wear[/url] student pilot and an instructor were killed Monday when their small plane crashed into a freight train at a railroad yard in Bethlehem, N.Y.
Officials say the single-engine Cessna 172 Skyhawk took off from South Albany Airport at 4:50 p.m. Monday and soon afterward crashed into a rail car at the nearby CSX yard just south of Albany.
One person [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Handbags-Outlet-Mens-Glasses-Headband-Jelly-Sandals.html]Gucci Jelly Sandals[/url] on the plane was pronounced dead at the scene and the other died on the way to an Albany hospital.
Their names haven’t been released.
No one on the ground was injured.
The rail car struck by the plane [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Sale-Wedding-Shoes-Mens-Sunglasses-Luggage-Sets.html]Gucci Luggage Sets[/url] was carrying automobiles and the train wasn’t moving at the time of the crash.
Bethlehem police say the Federal Aviation Administration and National Transportation Safety Board will investigate what caused the crash.

BAA also is planning to publish a new issue of The Baylor Line alumni magazine in late January or early February, though it may end up being a digital edition now that the association鈥檚 staff has dwindled from 11 employees to two.
And the organization is amending its bylaws to [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Discount-Buy-Online-Purses-Handbags-Outlet.html]Gucci Purses[/url] allow remote, mail-in or electronic voting on future business matters after gaining unanimous approval for the change during a Saturday meeting at Baylor鈥檚 George W. Truett Seminary attended by about 75 members.
New president George Cowden III said much of the action is a matter of necessity to make sure the alumni association has a stable and clear vision to continue its operations in the future, separate from Baylor.
鈥淲e have to develop,鈥?Cowden said. 鈥淲e鈥檙e a separate organization, so we continue to exist, and we can only dissolve if we decide to do so. But we don鈥檛 desire to do so, and we鈥檙e going to continue to exist and try to define what our purpose is going to be into the future.鈥?
The organization has had to elect five new officers and 14 board members after those leaders resigned.
Baylor issued the 90-day deadline over the use of its name and licensing marks following a Sept. 7 vote over a proposed transition agreement that would have transferred BAA鈥檚 alumni outreach services to Baylor but allowed the organization to continue publishing The Baylor Line.
Though the majority of the 1,500 members present for the vote at Waco Hall were in favor of the agreement, it did not meet the two-thirds threshold needed for the measure to pass.
Cowden said Saturday that BAA鈥檚 attorney sent the university鈥檚 legal counsel a notice that the organization would not meet the deadline. An extension was not sought, he said.
The next step will be for BAA鈥檚 board of directors to hammer out options for future operations, Cowden said.
Some ideas being discussed include continuing to operate as it has historically, changing its name but still being an alumni group, or changing its mission altogether to become a foundation that could possibly raise money for scholarships.
鈥淚 think we would like to do outreach if we were allowed to do it, but as a practical matter, that鈥檚 no longer our function,鈥?Cowden said. 鈥淭he university and (its Baylor Alumni Network) have taken that over, and have made it very clear that they鈥檙e performing [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Sale-Online-Boots-Sale-Cheap-Clothes-Boutique.html]Cheap Gucci Clothes[/url] that service.鈥?
He said Saturday鈥檚 vote was essential for the future planning process to get greater input from members.
It also will allow the association to act more quickly on voting on business matters, whether that is changing BAA鈥檚 mission or further amending its bylaws, depending on the recommendations of the board of directors.
But some members said they weren鈥檛 inclined to give up on using the current BAA name or ending alumni outreach.
鈥淕o ahead and do what we鈥檝e been doing,鈥?said Hornor Shelton. 鈥淔orget (the deadline) and go ahead and operate as we have been.鈥?
Board member Lyndon Olson Jr. said to simply give up on BAA鈥檚 historical mission would result in the 鈥渋ndependent voice of the university being lost.鈥?
Olson said Baylor鈥檚 Board of Regents has made it clear that they want to get rid of the alumni association, its magazine, and to be completely in control of the information distributed to alumni and supporters.
鈥淭his entire conflict, other than a few people鈥檚 egos, is about the freedom of speech,鈥?Olson said. 鈥淲e have agreements with Baylor, contractual agreements that we [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Outlet-Purse-Slides-Hysteria-Bag.html]Gucci Hysteria Bag[/url] believe are valid, that we have lived up to, and don鈥檛 believe it鈥檚 right for Baylor, because they don鈥檛 like what we say, to try and take our name away.鈥?
Prior to the transition agreement vote, Baylor this summer tore down the Hughes-Dillard Alumni Center that had been BAA鈥檚 on-campus headquarters since 1978. Baylor has since hired nine former BAA staff members to various jobs.
The university created the Baylor Alumni Network and the free Baylor Magazine in 2002 as an alternative to BAA and The Baylor Line, and later ended funding support to BAA and banned the organization from accessing databases of new graduates鈥?contact information.
鈥淚 think this has all been one-sided from the university, showing how powerful they are and that the alumni don鈥檛 make any difference,鈥?member Jim Hardwick said. 鈥淭hey don鈥檛 care what the alumni do, just send money, send money.鈥?
Raymond Hughes-Dillard, grandson of the two families who provided the lead donations to build the alumni center, said he is hopeful that BAA can continue to forge a new path ahead, though he fears it will have to be resolved in a courtroom.
鈥淚 think litigation is probably in the future,鈥?Hughes-Dillard said. 鈥淚 think the way things have gone between the two entities, nobody is going to give in without the courts ordering them to resolve it.鈥?
Cowden said no lawsuits are pending or have been filed by either BAA or Baylor.

Add one more question mark to Washington’s already shaky pass defense.
Coming off a game where the Huskies won despite yielding seven touchdowns through the air to Eastern Washington, they’ll face another pass-heavy team in Illinois on Saturday, and they’ll reportedly do it without their top defensive back.
The Seattle Times’ that the Huskies have suspended star junior cornerback Marcus Peters for the game against the Illini, stemming from a sideline tantrum ge threw after being benched for an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty against Eastern Washington.
UW coach Chris Petersen declined to address Peters’ status at his [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/guccioutlet.onlinesalecc.php]Gucci Outlet Store[/url] weekly press conference Monday.
“I told you after the game we’ve got to conduct ourselves the right way,” he said. “We have discipline things, we keep those in-house and go from there.”
Peters, a second-team All-Pac-12 selection last season, is the only member of the secondary that entered 2014 with starting experience for the Huskies, so his absence clearly puts them at a disadvantage against Illinois and its quarterback, Wes Lunt, who is coming off a 456-yard passing performance against Western Kentucky last weekend.
Petersen wasn’t shy in admitting how much the inexperienced secondary struggled against Eastern Washington quarterback Vernon Adams Jr., but he also made sure to give the Eagles credit where it’s due.
“The detail it needs to be successful at this level is obviously not there yet,” he said of the defensive backs. “We’ve just got to make plays on the ball. We were around the ball a lot. Vernon Adams threw some pinpoint strikes and those kids are reaching out and making those catches. We just have to go out and play tighter coverage. That’s the thing that jumps out to me.”
The hope from Petersen is that the defensive backs [url=http://www.alportico.net/prodotti/christianlouboutin-sale.jkmsw.php]Christian Louboutin[/url] will quickly learn from the crash-course Adams took them on.
“They have some talent, they have good talent,” he said. “Now we’ve got to get them some experience and hopefully all those things that have happened to them, they’re smart enough to learn and move forward. Then we don’t have to have these mistakes happen over and over.”
Miles not happy with first performance
Cyler Miles’ first start at quarterback was a mixed bag he rushed for 58 yards and three touchdowns, but his passing efficiency (14 for 24, 180 yards) has room for improvement.
Petersen said Miles’ game was close to what he expected, but he was satisfied with how Miles perceived his own performance.
“Probably one of the best things I thought about him was after the game, I don’t think he felt like he played great, which I thought was kind of accurate,” Petersen said. “I thought he played well, but I don’t think he played great. So I think that’s good when he’s seeing things in a realistic viewpoint, kind of how we see it as well. I think he’s going to continue to improve and get better, but I thought he played hard.”
Notes
Petersen acknowledged that senior Ben Riva and redshirt freshman Coleman Shelton have [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/clreplicashoes.php]Christian Louboutin Outlet[/url] found themselves in a battle for the right tackle spot. Shelton was afforded an opportunity when an undisclosed injury kept Riva out of the Week 1 win over Hawaii, and he continued to play well even with Riva back in action last week.
Junior TE Joshua Perkins’ status is week-to-week, Petersen said.

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. 鈥?A professor who lost a job offer from the University of Illinois over dozens of sometimes-profane Twitter messages that critics deemed anti-Semitic demanded Tuesday that he be given the position and threatened to take legal action otherwise.Attorneys for Steven Salaita said during a news conference at a YMCA on the Urbana-Champaign campus that they believe the university鈥檚 Board of Trustees will make a decision on his hiring during a meeting scheduled Thursday. If he isn鈥檛 given the job, they said they鈥檒l go to court to try to get an injunction to force the university to hire him.鈥淢y Twitter messages were no doubt passionate and unfiltered,鈥?said Salaita, who was speaking publicly for the first time since he lost the job offer after he posted messages about Israeli military action in Gaza.Salaita accepted an offer in October 2013 to become [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/clreplicashoes.php]Christian Louboutin Outlet[/url] a Native American Studies professor and was due to start last month before being told that same month that the offer was rescinded.鈥淚 had one foot in the door already,鈥?Salaita said, adding that he didn鈥檛 regret posting the messages but regretted they鈥檇 led to 鈥渉urt feelings.鈥濃€淚鈥檇 come to Champaign-Urbana twice already looking for housing, trying to get the move in order. … My [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/gucciusaonlineoutlet.php]gucci outlet[/url] classes had already been assigned.鈥漀either trustees Chairman Christopher Kennedy nor Urbana-Champaign campus Chancellor Phyllis Wise, who wrote Salaita on Aug. 1 to tell him he didn鈥檛 have a job, responded to requests for comment.But Robin Kaler, a spokeswoman for Wise, said the chancellor would not change her mind and that the university 鈥渟tands by the decision not to hire Professor Salaita.鈥濃€淲e remain devoted to fostering a campus-wide dialogue on the most uncomfortable issues that are vital to our very foundation and will continue to work closely with our students, faculty and staff to nurture an environment where all issues, including the most complicated ones, can be discussed,鈥?she said.Trustees are scheduled to meet Thursday in Urbana. The meeting agenda doesn鈥檛 reference Salaita but includes a closed-door executive session.Salaita wrote dozens of anti-Israel Twitter messages in July and August. Some were profane while others drew charges of anti-Semitism and other concerns from university students, parents and donors who emailed Wise.Trustees hadn鈥檛 approved Salaita鈥檚 hire, the final step before he would have been granted tenure, which likely would have protected his speech. Salaita鈥檚 defenders say that since many professors begin work before trustees have the chance to approve their hires, Salaita was already effectively employed.After she wrote to Salaita, Wise said her decision was based on concerns about the 鈥渁busive鈥?nature of his messages and the need for civility in the classroom.On Tuesday, Salaita said he鈥檇 never 鈥渂row-beaten鈥?any students for their views and that the tone and content of Twitter messages don鈥檛 reflect the approach he takes in class.鈥淭witter is a kind of medium in [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/gucciusaonlineoutlet.php] cheap gucci[/url] which argument is happening in real time amid a rush of reaction and perspectives,鈥?he said.

Publicist, Stan Rosenfield, said Clooney revealed the venue, but not the exact wedding date during at a star-studded benefit evening in Florence Sunday.

Dr. Maya Angelou at her 82nd birthday party with friends and family at Angelou s home on May 20, 2010, in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. (Photo by Steve Exum/Getty Images)Related PostsPoetry and hip-hop fans are in for a pleasant surprise. Maya Angelou鈥檚 iconic words from her book聽I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings are given a hip-hop twist, which will be heard in a new album entitled Caged Bird Songs.
The hip-hop songs are produced by Shawn Rivera and RoccStar. Rivera is the lead singer of group Az Yet, while Roccstar is known for co-writing 鈥淔ine China鈥?by Chris Brown.
The new album has 13 songs and will be released through Smooch on November 4 of this year.
Angelou had the chance to work [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Michael-Kors-Uk]Michael Kors Uk[/url] on this album, and it was one of the several projects she had worked on before passing away last May.
An interview with her grandson Colin A. Johnson reveals that Angelou loved the concept from the beginning and that the producers were 鈥渋nspired by grandma鈥檚 work.鈥?
Rivera and Roccstar felt that delivering her words in a different medium would help broaden its聽reach to a wider range of people.
Johnson said that the pair of musicians [url=http://www.radiorcs.com/page.php?sale=Kate-Spade-Laptop-Tote]Kate Spade Laptop Tote[/url] had started working on the project without Angelou鈥檚 knowledge. She eventually backed the project once she found out about it, even going as far as lending previously recorded vocals and using her home in North Carolina as a place to record the tracks.
鈥淪he just laughed,鈥?Johnson said about Angelou鈥檚 initial reaction to the songs. This response was the same one she had when she first learned that she had her own Facebook page.
He also said that his grandmother was a fan of hip-hop, seeing the music as a way for people of this generation to communicate and convey messages. He added that she had 鈥済reat stories about her interactions with Tupac (Shakur).
Johnson hopes that the album will help youngsters connect with Angelou鈥檚 work just as they did with his own teen children. He also said聽his children [url=http://www.alportico.net/page.php?sale=Cheap-True-Religion-Jeans-For-Men]Cheap True Religion Jeans For Men[/url] no longer pick up books of poetry without them being assigned by school, or unless he assigns them. So hearing a poet鈥檚 message in music allows the words to reach younger generations.
He manages his grandmother鈥檚 estate along with his father Guy B. Johnson and also runs the Caged Bird Legacy, which will launch future Maya Angelou projects.
The Caged Bird Songs is just one of a few other things that they have lined up, most of which were projects Angelou had worked on before and are now at various levels of completion.

CHICAGO [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Discount-Guccio-Careers-Wiki.html]Guccio Gucci[/url] (September 8, 2014) Childhood kidney and thyroid cancers have increased in recent years, and although the diseases are rare, researchers are wondering if the rising rates could be related to obesity.
The researchers at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention say from 2000 to 2009, the rate for all childhood cancers combined, 171 cases per million children, remained stable, although there were slight increases in blacks and adolescents.
During that period there were about 120,000 new cancer diagnoses among infants and children ages 1 through 19.
Researchers say for thyroid cancer, the rate of diagnosis climbed from nearly [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Belts-Online-Baby-Belt-Sale-Cheap-Watch.html]Gucci Belt Sale[/url] six cases per million children to eight per million children in 2009, and for kidney cancer, the rate climbed from 0.5 cases per million to 0.7 cases per million.
Studies showing increases in both kinds of cancer in adults have suggested [url=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Cheap-Gucci-Sale-Mens-Bracelet-Kids-Shoes-Www-Shoes.html]Cheap Gucci Sale[/url] causes might include rising obesity rates.
Childhood obesity also has increased in recent years.

Should Pierce squander that opportunity, as he did in Week 1, then his involvement in the running back rotation will be sharply on the decline. The Ravens struggled to run the ball last year, which contributed to the team’s 8-8 finish.
Though the [url=http://www.museosangennaro.com/Public/wdluk.php]Louboutin Shoes Outilet[/url] offensive line was mostly to blame for that outcome, any problems running the ball this year could easily lead to the same outcome. Clearly the Ravens [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/michaelkorssonline.php] michael kors bags[/url] do not have patience for mistakes or slow starts based on the decisions they made in Week 1.
With Pierce benched after a mere six carries, Week 2 might be his final chance to prove he can reliably shoulder the run game’s load this year. Pierce’s leash is short [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/guccioutlet.onlinesalecc.php]Gucci Outlet Store[/url] and Forsett and Taliaferro are breathing down his neck, waiting for the chance to be named the Ravens’ true starting running back.

When Manager Billy McMillon finished his end-of-the-season address to his Portland Sea Dogs, the hugs began. McMillon, pitching coach Bob Kipper and hitting coach Rich Gedman made their rounds, congratulating players and saying farewells.
Then the players approached each other. More hugs.
Catcher Michael Brenly, always one to lighten the mood, joked that the sentimentality was getting out of hand.
What started almost seven months ago in the heat of Florida spring training, ended on a comfortable September afternoon in Portland, with an 8-5 loss in the Eastern League playoffs.
There [url=http://www.museosangennaro.com/Public/wdluk.php]Christian Louboutin Shoes Sale[/url] were plenty of accomplishments, including a franchise-best regular-season record of 88-54, and 14 players promoted to the next level (including two who received the news after Sunday s game).
But McMillon witnessed more than the tangible.
I addition to those guys being promoted, I think some of them got a better sense how to be a teammate, how to root for your teammates, how to start thinking about doing the little things that help ballclubs win, McMillon said.
The fact that some of these guys learned those lessons here, it s going to help them when they get to (Triple-A) Pawtucket, when they get to Boston or any other major league club.
Second baseman Sean Coyle might have been one of those promoted, had he not missed 45 games because of injuries during the season. Coyle batted .295 with an .883 OPS and a team-leading 16 home runs.
He also missed the final playoff game because of another injury 鈥?a badly-bruised left wrist, the result of being hit by a pitch Saturday.
It was tough to miss the last [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/gucciusaonlineoutlet.php]gucci outlet[/url] game, Coyle said. Pretty tough to watch them 鈥?but I proudly watched them. This team doesn t give up.
It s what Billy talked about in our closing meeting. We didn t give up. That s how we ve been all year and that s how we were today. A proud effort by the guys.
Behind 8-1, the Sea Dogs scored one in the fourth, one in the fifth, two in the sixth.
Part of who we are as the Sea Dogs, being down 8-1 and fighting back, reliever Robby Scott said. There wasn t a doubt in anyone s mind that this team could do it.
It didn t happen but we sure as heck kept fighting.
But the Binghamton Mets bullpen shut down the Sea Dogs in the final three innings. Hadlock fans applauded the effort and the players slowly walked toward the clubhouse, some turning to wave to the crowd.
Soon, they sat in front of their lockers, listening to McMillon one last time.
He just said to keep our heads high. We had an incredible run throughout the year, Scott said.
Scott is another one who could have [url=http://www.alportico.net/prodotti/christianlouboutin-sale.jkmsw.php]Christian Louboutin Replica[/url] been promoted to Pawtucket after a breakout season (8-2, 1.96 ERA).
Three more experienced relievers were promoted before him. But Scott is on the Red Sox radar and will be in the prospect-filled Arizona Fall League next month.
Just one of many good players to wear a Sea Dogs uniform in 2014.

BALTIMORE Janay Rice, wife of suspended NFL player Ray Rice who was released [url=http://www.museosangennaro.com/Public/wdluk.php]Louboutin Shoes Outilet[/url] by the Baltimore Ravens, apparently posted a statement Tuesday on Instagram calling the situation a nightmare and slamming the media for ruining their lives.
To take something away from the man I love that he has worked his ass off for all his life just to gain ratings is a horrific (sic), she wrote.
on Monday after a video surfaced showing him knocking her out with a punch in February, and dragging her limp body out of a casino elevator. The NFL then suspended him indefinitely from football.
In response to texts sent to [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/guccioutlet.onlinesalecc.php]Gucci Outlet Store[/url] him on Tuesday, Rice texted CNN [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/guccioutlet.onlinesalecc.php]Gucci Outlet[/url] sports journalist Rachel Nichols: I m just holding strong for my wife and kid, that s all I can do right now.
The were taken Monday after a video surfaced showing him knocking her out with a punch in February.
The Instagram post, reported by various media, appeared to be authentic.
Crime has fallen citywide from 1,302 incidents in 2008 to 880 incidents in 2014, according to the mayor’s office.Today, there are block parties in the West Ward. Crumbling homes have been snapped up, dusted off or rebuilt. In the West Ward, it’s always two steps forward and one step back, said Larry Porter, who in 1990 bought and refurbished an old bar and turned it into Porters’ Pub.Porter says more and more people are driving over the hump [url=http://www.radiorcs.com/page.php?sale=Kate-Spade-Owl-Handbag]Kate Spade Owl Handbag[/url] on Northampton street meaning the imaginary line on Northampton Street where downtown ends and the West Ward begins to visit local restaurants.’Wonderful place to grow up’The West Ward is bounded east and west by Sixth Street and 15th Street respectively, south by the Lehigh River and north by Bushkill Creek. About 16,000 of the city’s 26,000 residents live there.Unlike College Hill, which grew around the Lafayette College campus, the West Ward grew from Easton’s natural outgrowth of the city’s first 1,000 acres.Business owners built more palatial homes on the western outskirts of the city, Holden said. For example, local silk mill owner Herman Simon first owned a home in the West Ward before building his more extravagant mansion now a historic landmark on North Third Street.Working-class people built row homes and more modest single-family dwellings to fill in the gaps, Holden said.When she was growing up in the West Ward, families still lived in those homes. It was a wonderful place to grow up, she said.Local artist Anthony Marraccini graduated from Easton Area High School in 1989, and for the past two years has lived at a home at Sixth and Ferry streets on the edge of the West Ward.Years ago, Easton’s downtown was more of a problem spot, Marraccini said, and the West Ward, while always working class, didn’t have such a bad reputation.Panto didn’t grow up in the West Ward, but he attended a West Ward school and played basketball as a youth there.It wasn’t perfect, he said, but people didn’t wave guns. Today, the housing vacancy rate is about 50 percent higher in the West Ward than in the rest of Easton, according to data from the U.S. Census Bureau. Families who live in the West Ward tend to make less money than their counterparts elsewhere in the city.Nearly half the properties in the West Ward are rentals, according to the survey. And many residents say one of the biggest problems the [url=http://www.radiorcs.com/page.php?sale=Wholesale-Jimmy-Choo]Cheap Jimmy Choo Shoes[/url] neighborhood faces is absentee landlords who let properties deteriorate or allow too many tenants to live in one spot.Panto said the violence commonly isn’t caused by residents of the West Ward. Rather, out-of-towners use the city’s proximity to Route 22 to zip into town, sell drugs and leave.Marraccini says the problems of the West Ward are part of the natural evolution of cities. I think it’s a combination of things, Marraccini said. The rise of suburbia. Gradual decline. You’re left with what you’re left with. Fighting ‘Sleaston’ Be good friends with your neighbors, Micki Katz told the crowd at the Easton Area Community Center on Monday night, even if they’re carrying guns. A few of the dozens of West Ward residents who’d poured into the Washington Street building chuckled.Katz, 72, lives on 13th Street.She says she sees people with weapons and drugs, and urban violence near her front stoop. I call it Sleaston, she quipped.Her survival tip: Treat your neighbors with kindness. They won’t shoot you then, she said.Holden and Sophia Feller, the West Ward Neighborhood Partnership’s urban agriculture coordinator, organized the meeting in the wake of the shootings. Holden said she wasn’t sure what to expect. But when she arrived at the community center around 7 p.m., a crowd had already formed at the door. West Warders of all stripes filled seats in the community room. There were veterans like Katz, [url=http://www.radiorcs.com/page.php?sale=Kate-Spade-Japan]Kate Spade Japan[/url] who seemed to have mastered a gallows humor about the neighborhood. Younger residents, artists who’d bought old row homes and cleaned them up, also joined in the discussion, mingling with the West Ward’s working class.The city sent its own retinue that included Panto, Administrator Glenn Steckman, Easton Police Chief Carl Scalzo and Captain Scott Casterline. We’re here to listen to you, Panto told the crowd.They discussed rebuilding the local neighborhood watch. Some residents talked about the need to install more porch lights to illuminate dark spots. Others talked about adding speed bumps to public thoroughfares (not legal, Panto said) or adding stop signs to every crossroads in the West Ward to slow traffic.Steckman told residents how to lodge complaints on the city’s website. Police officers talked about doing more to increase their visibility.
