With a win over Navajo Mountain last week giving Green River a tie for the region girls basketball title and then a coin flip giving Green River the number one region seed, the Lady Pirates are ready for the state action to begin this week at the Sevier Valley Center in Richfield. Game time will be 4 p.m. Wednesday against the winner of Monday's play-in game between Valley and Christian Heritage.
Navajo Mountain never showed up to play in this final region contest and suffered a most lopsided defeat. Green River led 18-0 after the first period and 35-3 at the half. The beating continued in the second half as Green River added 16 points in the third quarter and 24 points in the final quarter. Navajo Mountain could only add 4 points in the third and 5 points in the fourth and lost the game 75-12.
Brandi Webster finished the season as the number two scorer in 1-A basketball with an average of 20.26 points per game. Brandi scored 25 points in the Navajo Mountain game.
Seven other Pirates scored in this game. Bailie Packer and Crosby Hatt each scored 10 points. Jill Vetere scored 7 points. Leah Swalberg, Cady Mecham and Tracy Engelman each scored 6 points. Sarah Swalberg finished with 2 points in the game.
After starting the season with five losses in the first seven games, Green River finished the season by winning 10 of 12. Their season record is 12-7. They finished region with a 7-1 record.
The early favorite for the 1-A title is Rich with a record of 18-1. Intermountain Christian has a record of 18-2, Bryce Valley us 16-4, Piute is 17-4 and Panguitch is 14-7 to round out the other early favorites.

Runs Long, Slightly Uncomfortable
"I purchased this shoe in black and blush. I normally wear a size 11 but this shoe ran long for some reason. There is at least one inch of space behind each heel. I plan to use gel pads and heel liners to combat this issue. I am not a fan to the velcro, it does not seem durable. But i am a fan of the embellishment and t-strap. I will keep both considering I paid $12 for blush and $25 for black due to the additional 30% off clearance."

Should the Oilers be interested in Wade Redden?
Jonathan Willis
January 16 2013 09:39AM
Photo: Kaatiya/Wikimedia Commons
Yesterday, the NHL and the NHLPA agreed to a deal that would allow teams to buy out albatross contracts immediately. The deal was in response to the Canadiens and Rangers choosing to send Scott Gomez and Wade Redden home for the year, with the expectation of buying them out next summer.
Now that those players can be expected to become free agents shortly, should the Oilers be interested in either?
Given the Oilers are four-deep in NHL regulars at centre, there wouldn't seem to be a pressing need for Scott Gomez; other teams (such as Vancouver, a club looking at employing either Andrew Ebbett or Jordan Schroeder as its second-line centre) will undoubtedly be more interested in him than Edmonton would be.
Wade Redden, at least superficially, is a more plausible fit.
Where would Redden fit?
Redden, after spending last season as the captain of the AHL's Connecticut Whale, is not about to displace any of the Oilers' top-five on defence (Smid, Petry, Schultz, Schultz and Whitney). A signing would put him in the mix for a bottom pairing job, along with newcomer Mark Fistric and holdovers Corey Potter and Theo Peckham.
Given that Fistric and Potter look to be locks for the NHL roster, that leaves Redden unseating Theo Peckham for the eighth spot on the Oilers' blue line, with Peckham presumably being sent to the minors or dealt to another team. This scenario also means the Oilers would keep 13 instead of 14 forwards.
Is that a worthwhile move?
Likely, it depends on exactly how good one perceives Redden as being. If the thought process is that Redden's an above-average third-pairing guy, this isn't a move that makes sense. It would have been sensible prior to the addition of Mark Fistric yesterday, but with Fistric now on the team the Oilers don't need another depth-only guy on the NHL roster.
However, if the expectation is that Redden steps into a third-pairing role but has a decent shot at moving into a top-four slot on the back end over the course of the season, it's a move that makes significantly more sense. Redden, coming off a buyout, is likely not going to earn a lot of money on his next contract; in this case rather than paying market value for a third-pairing defenceman the Oilers would be paying third-pairing money to a guy who can play bigger minutes as required.
Looking at the Oilers depth chart, I can see the appeal of a guy like Wade Redden. Prior to the acquisition of Fistric, I would have said that bringing in Redden on a short-term deal made great sense for the organization. In the aftermath of the Fistric signing, however, I think the team would need to be confident that Redden would be able to bring more than third-pairing minutes to the table. If they aren't, I can't imagine them being as incentivized to pursue Redden as some other teams – the Red Wings or the Islanders to name two – will be.

My question is why have the Islanders not with Dipetro on waivers for buy out purposes....
Are snow and wang that daft to see they are paying him millions to be consistently injured....
You can't buy out a injured player
January 16 2013, 07:28PM
You can't buy out a injured player
He's not injured. He played 1 game in Europe during lock out and is in camp at the moment. In the middle of a scrimmage as I type this.
Looks like the Islanders won't buy him out this year....
Maybe we can work on yet another reclimation project......last year it was Cam Barker.
I would rather play the worst player on our farm team ahead of Redden!
January 16 2013, 10:50PM
Wouldn't be opposed for the oilers to bring him in at 1 year 1 million and sending Corey potter packing. He would defiantly be an upgrade over Potter in my eyes.
The main issue I would have is if he is over whatever was causing him to play so poorly in NY that got him demoted and now bought out. He was a fine player and it all turned crap for him.
I've heard rumblings of him being part of the Ottawa party crowd and couldn't let it go. If that's the case then pass.

Not calling you a liar or trying to offend you in anyway but where did you hear that?
I find it hilarious when people say that they hear stuff like is, cause honestly how would any of us know? Some reporter saying it doesnt mean its true. Half the time reporters hype up nothing cause they need a story "____ player was seen having 50 drinks last night and needed to be carried out of the bar" when in reality he probably had 2 drinks and didnt drive home.
@Rama Lama
Yeah, Redden.
January 17 2013, 11:31AM
This is forgetting that the whole reason redden was bought out and playing in the ahl is because he is an awful player
January 17 2013, 04:06PM
The reason he was demoted was the Rangers didn't think he was worth his 6M cap space, and seeing as they're a cap team they demoted him.
I have a real concern with the drug rumors. I know I can only say rumors - but there is PLENTY about him and Emery and coke. I have NO INTEREST in bringing in a utility guy who brings more than his equipment for baggage.
TO ME that would HAVE to be VERY CLEARLY vetted out before I risk a bad influence on all these young players. If it's just rumors then he could be a great addition.
These are often the things that we never know the facts about in decisions.

The Murphysboro High School wrestling saw its season get off to a good start last week when it traveled to Centralia.
The Red Devils hammered Centralia, 54-18, and Fairfield, 57-24, before falling to a very good Waterloo team, 55-24.
"I saw a lot of good things,'' Murphysboro coach Dan Baker said of his team's performance. "We needed to compete against somebody else besides ourselves. We've been practicing and working out and it was time, whether we were ready or not, to wrestle somebody else."
Murphysboro had little trouble beating Centralia, losing just three of 14 matches.
Dylan Chambers, Tyrone Bivens, Jordan Landewee, Daniel Bower, Joey Castrajon, Austin Biggs, Drew Hopkins, and Logan Roe all won their bouts. there were two double forfeits.
Murphysboro also handled Fairfield with relative ease, as Chase Stamm, Moricius Simmons, Chambers, Bivens, Jordan Landewee, Bower, Castrajon, Patrick Stanton, Lance Anders, and Hopkins recorded wins.
"We pretty much handled Centralia and Fairfield up and down the book with our experienced guys,'' Baker said. "We did struggle some with our inexperienced guys. We had three or four guys that wrestled their first varsity match. We know these kids have a lot of promise. We've just got to get them ready and get them more matches and chances to compete."
The Red Devils didn't fare very well against Waterloo, winning just four matches.
Chamers won his match by pin at 132 pounds. Bower won at 160 pounds. Biggs was victorious at 195 pounds, and Hopkins won at 220 pounds.
"We didn't match up real well with Waterloo at the lower weights,'' Baker said. "We knew we would have to pretty much win out from 145 on up."
That did not happen, but Murphysboro was pretty solid in its season openers.
"I like our athletic ability and the way we pick things up,'' Baker said. "We've just got to keep working and get better. We had some good, solid performances."

Poorly made
"I was excited about purchasing this boot but when I received them, I was very disappointed. The tongue of the boot is not aligned/it looks like it was just sewed on without any thought.I also thought they were really uncomfortable! I just feel like there should be some padding on the sole so it wouldn't be so bad if we chose to wear them without socks.I really did want to love them, the quality was just disappointing."

"These were even better than I could have hoped for! I've always gone for the unusual shoe and this one fits the bill. It is unique, but not as clunky as I'd feared it may look. My feet (size 9) actually look smaller wearing them. The material mimics leather well and the heel gives this flat foot that bit of extra height I crave without sacrificing comfort or cool style. So glad I purchased these."

Old Testament Reading
Document Actions
Proverbs 17:17-18:5
A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity. A man without sense gives a pledge, and becomes surety in the presence of his neighbor. He who loves transgression loves strife; he who makes his door high seeks destruction. A man of crooked mind does not prosper, and one with a perverse tongue falls into calamity. A stupid son is a grief to a father; and the father of a fool has no joy. A cheerful heart is a good medicine, but a downcast spirit dries up the bones. A wicked man accepts a bribe from the bosom to pervert the ways of justice. A man of understanding sets his face toward wisdom, but the eyes of a fool are on the ends of the earth. A foolish son is a grief to his father and bitterness to her who bore him. To impose a fine on a righteous man is not good; to flog noble men is wrong. He who restrains his words has knowledge, and he who has a cool spirit is a man of understanding. Even a fool who keeps silent is considered wise; when he closes his lips, he is deemed intelligent.
He who is estranged seeks pretexts to break out against all sound judgment. A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing his opinion. When wickedness comes, contempt comes also; and with dishonor comes disgrace. The words of a man's mouth are deep waters; the fountain of wisdom is a gushing stream. It is not good to be partial to a wicked man, or to deprive a righteous man of justice.

It's almost here. After all your training, the Advance's Memorial Day Run is just a mere seven days away.
While it's natural to have pre-race jitters, there are ways to combat those butterflies in your stomach. It all boils down to realistic expectations and planning ahead.
First off, set an attainable goal of finishing the race (whether by means of running or walking). Don't worry about breaking records; this run is all about you. However long it takes, this will be your personal best and you can make it the time to beat for your next race.
Get familiar with the race course — which starts on Father Capodanno Boulevard, turns onto the beach promenade and finishes on the boardwalk — by doing one of this week's training workouts on it. Knowing where you are on the course gives you a point of reference for how much further you have to go.
Don't fuel up on a big bowl of pasta the night before the race. Carb loading is unnecessary for a four-mile race and only will result in you trying to run with a stomach full of half-digested pasta sloshing around. Instead, eat a regular portion of what you would normally eat at dinner.
Race morning, eat a light breakfast such as a bowl of oatmeal with blueberries, a piece of toast or half of a bagel with peanut butter or a banana (See Week No. 2's advice). Finish your breakfast at least two hours before the race. Stop drinking water about a half hour prior to race time.
Warm up about 30 to 40 minutes before the race begins by walking five minutes, jogging five minutes, picking up the pace for five minutes and walking five minutes.
Line up for the race near the back of the pack where the mood of runners tends to be more relaxed. Additionally, try to position yourself near the side of the pack so you can edge over to take walking breaks if needed.
When the run begins, remember that this is your race. Just because the runners around you may take off at fast pace, it doesn't mean you have to keep up with them. Your goal is to finish.
Week 8
Monday: Walk five minutes (warm-up), run 28 minutes, followed by walking briskly for one minute. Then, run four minutes and finish with a five-minute walk (cool down).
Tuesday: Walk five minutes (warm-up), run 18 minutes, followed by walking briskly for one minute. Then, run 14 minutes and finish with a five-minute walk (cool down).
Wednesday: Walk five minutes (warm-up), run 30 minutes, followed by walking briskly for one minute. Then, run five minutes and finish with a five-minute walk (cool down).
Thursday: Walk for 35 minutes at a comfortable yet brisk pace.
Friday: Walk five minutes (warm-up), run 20 minutes, followed by walking briskly for one minute. Then, run 15 minutes and finish with a five-minute walk (cool down).
Saturday: Repeat Thursday's workout.
Sunday: Rest or walk 30 to 35 minutes at an easy pace (your choice).

not for me

Perfect for a shorter foot
"Runs short and runs just as "wide" as most of DSW's "wide width" high heels (that I think ought to be wider to be called "wide," but that another topic...). The cushioning inside is comfortable, but the shoe lacks the little bit of a platform at the toe that Bandolino has that dampens impact when you strike the ground, you know, looking fierce! That said, the Bandolino's run really long, and my heel pops out with every step. Hope that comparison helps!Personally, I think the height of the shoe is just great.Wish Mix No. 6 made more in leather (which stretches)."

"Very cute and unique style, heel is not very high, easy to walk in and comfortable. I found them to run short, they are not extremely wide, but I would hate to try on the regular version of these as they would likely be very narrow and tight across the top of my foot. For reference, I usually wear a 9M/9.5M or 9W. I ordered these in a 9W and am exchanging them for a 9.5W. I did this because they are synthetic and not likely to stretch out like genuine leather would."

|In response to Re: Bathtub refinishing vs. Bathtub liners
: would like more information about bathtub liners...eg live in new jersey where would i contact person to do the job...cost of liner..and wall covering..ty jeanne: I am in the position of either refinishing my bathtub or installing a bathtub liner, We have heard contraversy about both options and we are confused. We cannot replace the tub we have because we have a marble insert on the walls surrounding out bathtub and I don't want to destroy it. We are stuck with refinishing our bathtub or going with a liner. Can you give us your honest and professional opinion? Thanking you in advance.
: We recommend the acylic bathtub liner for any long term repair of your bathtub. We have been doing residential bathtub relining since 1992 and our parent company, Re-Bath, has been relining hotel and motel bathtubs for over 20 years. Re-Bath offers over 700 different shells and can match almost any tub. The shells are durable and fit directly over your existing bathtub. We also carry a line of wall liners that fit over drywall or ceramic tile. These walls can be used as an attractive bath surround but are not necessary to install a tub liner. If you have any further questions such as how to contact the Re-Bath dealer nearest you, e-mail us at blgincorporated @ mindspring.com.

Harlequins got their Aviva Premiership title defence off to a winning start after coming from behind to beat Wasps 42-40 at Twickenham.
Harlequins got their Aviva Premiership title defence off to a winning start after coming from behind to beat London Wasps 42-40 at Twickenham.
Trailing by 27 points (40-13) in the second half, Quins launched a stirring fightback to cut the deficit to just one point before fly-half Nick Evans slotted over the match-winning penalty in the 77th minute.
The match began at a frantic pace and the defending champions found themselves 20 points down inside the first 15 minutes. A try with barely a minute on the clock from Christian Wade gave Wasps the lead, and he added his second just ten minutes later to boost his side's advantage.
Nick Robinson was on target with both conversions and added two penalties to make it a dream start for last season's strugglers.
Tom Williams responded with a try for Harlequins, converted by Nick Evans, but a further penalty from Robinson and a hat-trick try from Wade on 25 minutes re-established the 20-point barrier.
Two more penalties from Evans in the final ten minutes of the half reduced the deficit but Wasps retained a commanding lead. And it looked as though a shock defeat for Quins was on the cards early in the second half, as Wasps added further tries through Marco Wentzel and Tim Payne, with the latter converted by Robinson.
But Harlequins roared back in triumphant fashion and ate into their opponents' lead at a thrilling pace with 26 points in just ten minutes.
Tom Guest got the comeback moving with a try just before the hour, and that was followed by further scores from Mike Brown, who crossed for a quickfire brace, and Nick Evans, who would finish the game with 22 points to his name.
Evans was wide with his conversion to Brown's first try, though, meaning Quins remained two behind as the game reached the closing stages. But he was on target with a penalty with barely two minutes left on the clock to snatch a thrilling victory from the jaws of defeat.
The scorers:
For London Wasps:
Tries: Wade 2, Varndell, Wentzel, Payne
Cons: Robinson 3
Pens: Robinson 3
For Harlequiins:
Tries: Williams, Guest, Brown 2, Evans
Cons: Evans 4
Pens: Evans 3
London Wasps: 15 Hugo Southwell (c), 14 Christian Wade, 13 Elliot Daly, 12 Andrea Masi, 11 Tom Varndell, 10 Nick Robinson, 9 Joe Simpson, 8 Billy Vunipola, 7 Jonathan Poff, 6 James Haskell, 5 Joe Launchbury, 4 Marco Wentzel, 3 Fabio Staibano, 2 Tom Lindsay, 1 Tim Payne.
Replacements: 16 T Rhys Thomas, 17 Simon McIntyre, 18 Zak Taulafo, 19 Tom Palmer, 20 Ashley Johnson, 21 Nic Berry, 22 Tommy Bell, 23 Chris Mayor.

Great Light weight shoe
"I bought these shoes big, as the blue were on sale and I couldn't pass the price. My son currently wears stride rites in a wide width, but now that his feet are getting larger I feel there are more options for shoes that have proper support such at these. One noteable difference is that these are extremely light compared to his other shoes! I love that there is an insert that comes out to size the feet and wash. Since I did buy them up a size and a half I cannot comment on length, but as far as width it seems this shoe will definately accomodate my sons wide feet."

Art, music meld into a beautiful RPO show
Two great Rochester institutions are linked in a beautiful way in conductor Jeff Tyzik's "Images: Musical Impressions of an Art Museum." D&C reporter Stuart Low tells how this collaboration came to be here, as part of the Memorial Art Gallery's 2013 centennial.
At the Thursday night performance of the Rochester Philharmonic, I was struck (as I often am) by how fortunate we are to have such talent in Rochester. Tyzik chose seven pieces of art from the Memorial Art Gallery for his composition. They range from a sculpture titled "Convergence" by Albert Paley to the "Dr. Caligari" clock by Wendell Castle to the painting "Summer Street Scene in Harlem" by Jacob Lawrence.
For each artwork, Tyzik composed a "musical story," as he states in the program. My favorite (and my husband's too) was "Spirits of Tuol Sleng," which was the movement for Binh Dahn's "Found Portraits Collection: from the Cambodian Killing Fields at Tuol Sleng." I don't recall ever seeing that art before at the MAG, but I must now visit it in person. The art consists of faces on golden leaves on a black canvas. It's incredibly haunting, and the music reflected that.
I don't know if there are plans to release this composition on CD, but I think it'd be great for Tyzik and the MAG to do so. The MAG should certainly make the music available for patrons to listen to at each piece of art.
Tyzik and the RPO will repeat the performance Saturday night. It's definitely a uniquely Rochester experience that shouldn't be missed.

The National Park Service is proposing a permit system at Arizona's Grand Canyon National Park, which receives more than 1 million visitors each year, US News & World Report reported on Tuesday. The permits would cut back on the 30,000-plus overnight campers, backpackers, rock climbers, and runners who venture below the canyon's rim and cause an increase in noise, litter, and bathroom line length—all of which are common complaints among hikers.

In addition to limiting the number of people who stay below the rim at any given time, the permit system would help protect the desert environment and archaeological sites, according to KNAU, Arizona's public radio station. Officials are also proposing a $5 day-hike permit for those venturing farther than five miles.

"This plan is really recognizing our wilderness resources and managing to preserve that wilderness character," Linda Jalbert, wilderness coordinator for the park, told KNAU. "We're not closing off any new areas. We're just really looking at a different management strategy to better protect those areas."

The Park Service is currently seeking the public's input regarding the proposed permits on its website. Officials will also hold a public meeting to discuss the regulations on Monday, December 7, in Flagstaff, Arizona.

NPS Proposes Grand Canyon Backcountry Permit
Kent Wins Beer Mile World Championships

Lewis Kent set a beer mile world record on Tuesday night in Austin, Texas, when he ran the second annual FloTrack World Championships in 4:47.17, ESPN reports. The race involves running four laps around a track and chugging a beer before each lap, for a total of four beers per race. Kent, a 22-year-old Canadian cross-country runner, broke his record of 4:54.4 that he had set last month.

"I wasn't going in to set a [new] world record," Kent told Outside. "I wasn't looking at the clock. I just wanted to win the race, and then I saw the times after I crossed the finish line. I was really surprised."

As the first-place finisher, Kent received a $5,000 prize, as well as an undisclosed bonus from his sponsor, Brooks. (Kent announced last week that he signed a two-year shoe and apparel contract with Brooks, making him the world's only professional beer-miler.)

"Other brands are hardcore intense, whereas Brooks is really about having a good time, and that kind of meshes with me, and the beer mile in general," he told Outside in November.

Hamburg Will Not Host the 2024 Olympics

Residents of Hamburg, Germany, voted against holding the 2024 Olympic Games in their home city in a referendum held last Sunday, the AP reports. The results of the citywide poll reflected 48.4 percent in favor of hosting the Olympics and 51.6 percent against the bid. Four potential host cities now remain: Los Angeles, California; Rome, Italy; Paris, France; and Budapest, Hungary.

"That's why referendums are held—to find out what the population wants, and obviously Hamburgers don't want the Olympics," Christiane Wirtz, a spokesperson for German Chancellor Angela Merkel, told the AP.

Hamburg Mayor Olaf Scholz said he was unhappy with the results of the vote, which some critics attributed to an $11.9 billion budget. "That's a decision that we didn't want," Scholz told the BBC, "but it's clear."

As Outside reported last July, budgetary concerns played a similar role in selecting Los Angeles, which became a candidate city shortly after Boston withdrew from the running. At the time, Boston Mayor Marty Walsh said he decided against the plan because he was under too much pressure to sign an agreement with the International Olympic Committee before being sure that the city would not be responsible for cost overruns.

Passenger Plane Lands in Antarctica

A commercial Boeing 757 flown by Icelandic Airlines landed at Union Glacier, Antarctica, last Thursday. It was the first commercial flight to the continent, according to a press release from tourism company Antarctic Logistics & Expeditions (ALE). ALE said the flight was "undertaken to prove the feasibility of landing commercial passenger airliners at Union Glacier."

Union Glacier has served as a runway for many years, with the ALE transporting between 400 and 500 passengers each season. But those flights were mostly made by cargo aircraft, and the passengers were primarily there to focus on research projects, Australia's Traveller reports.

Tourists who wish to travel to Antarctica have traditionally arrived by boat through the Southern Ocean, departing from South Africa, Chile, or, in some cases, New Zealand.

Shiffrin Wins 2 World Cup Slaloms in Aspen

American alpine ski racer Mikaela Shiffrin won back-to-back World Cup slalom victories in Aspen, Colorado, by record margins, the Denver Post reported on Sunday. The 20-year-old is the first American to win at Aspen since 1984 and the first American ever to do so twice in two days.

On Saturday, Shiffrin took first by a margin of 3.07 seconds, shattering the record that had been in place since 1968. On Sunday, she went on to claim her 17th World Cup victory after beating Swedish skier Frida Hansdotter by 2.65 seconds. Shiffrin's combined time came in at 1:39.81, the Aspen Times reports.

"There are plenty of races left this season," Shiffrin told the Denver Post. "[Saturday and Sunday] were pretty incredible, definitely for me and for the U.S. Ski Team, but I don't expect [dominating wins] to happen in the next races."

Shiffrin holds five consecutive slalom victories, including three from last season.

WATCH: "Sketchy Andy" Completes Net-to-Net BASE Line

"Sketchy Andy" Lewis released a video of his newest project, Thug Mansion—a highline rigged between two cord nets—on his YouTube channel last week. Lewis and the rest of Moab-based group Slacklife Monkey are known for setting up and crossing daring highlines.

To create Thug Mansion, the members of Slacklife Monkey suspended two space nets (essentially large hammocks made from cord) 400 feet above the ground and connected them with a floatline, which Lewis described on YouTube as a "highline with two dynamic anchors." Lewis crossed the floatline with a BASE setup, jumping off partway across the highline, to complete what he called the first "net-to-net BASE line."

2015 to Be Warmest Year in History

Temperatures in 2015 will likely be the highest ever recorded, according to an early bird report released this morning by the United Nation's World Meteorological Organization (WMO). The record heat was caused by a strong El Nino and human-induced climate change. The report also states that the five-year span from 2011 to 2015 was the hottest ever, the BBC reports.

Last week, the National Centers for Environmental Information released a report that found October to be the warmest month ever recorded, and also stated that the year was on track to be the hottest in history. "This is all bad news for the planet," said WMO secretary-general Michael Jarraud in a statement, according to Reuters.

The new findings come one week before the climate change summit in Paris and are expected to play a part in discussions between global leaders.

Olympics Implicated in Brazil Corruption Probe

Brazilian police are investigating $10 billion worth of construction contracts for the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, between state-run oil company Petrobras and various engineering firms, Reuters reported on Wednesday. Igor Romario, a federal police chief in Brazil, said that the firms "very probably" broke price fixing and bribery laws in their contracts to build Olympic venues.

These revelations are a part of a bigger, two-year investigation dubbed "Operation Car Wash" by Brazilian police into corruption at Petrobras, which has resulted in several high profile arrests, including those of a senator and the chief executive of the largest investment bank in Brazil, according to the Wall Street Journal.

"In every situation where there has been an investigation into contracts with these companies, this model of corruption was repeated," Romario told Reuters. "It's possible that it was repeated in the projects for the 2016 Olympics." He noted there is currently no evidence pointing to corruption or bribery in the Olympic bidding process.

The Rio Olympics begin on August 5, 2016.

2 Repeat Winners Take JFK 50-Mile Run

American runners Jim Walmsley, 25, and Sarah Bard, 31, took first-place finishes in the men's and women's divisions of Saturday's John F. Kennedy 50-Mile Run in Washington County, Maryland, according to the race's website. The race is the oldest ultramarathon in the United States. It begins in Boonsboro, Maryland—60 miles northwest of Washington, DC—and traces the Appalachian Trail for a section, gaining 1,172 feet in elevation. After about 15 miles, the race returns to a flat gravel road. The course finishes in Williamsport, Maryland.

Both competitors also won last year but improved their times in 2015. Walmsley completed the race in 5:47:37, nine minutes faster than the year before, and Bard finished in 6:31:11, about six minutes faster than her 2014 time.

"I wouldn't say it felt any different, as far as added pressure," Walmsley told Runner's World. "I see myself as a very natural road racer but a very talented trail runner, so I definitely think the variety on this course suits me a lot."

Colorado Avalanche Partially Buries Skier

Colorado's first serious avalanche accident of the season took place in Summit County on Saturday, according to the Colorado Avalanche Information Center (CAIC). Summit County Rescue Group, assisted by a helicopter from national emergency rescue group Flight for Life, evacuated a skier partially buried on the east side of Bald Mountain, near the town of Breckenridge, according to Summit Daily News.

The man was skiing alone on a northeast-facing slope, at an angle of about 38 degrees, that had received 20 inches of snow from the week's storm. After the slide, he found a bar of cellphone service and made multiple calls to 911. At 2 p.m. local time, he reached a dispatcher to report that he was injured, according to CAIC forecaster Scott Toepfer, who has 30 years of avalanche forecasting experience.

The man was rescued at 4:30 p.m. MST. His injuries were not life threatening, but he was at risk for hypothermia.

Two additional avalanches were reported in Summit County on Sunday. One was located near Arapahoe Basin, but not within the ski area's boundaries, and the other was near the top of Loveland Pass. No burials were reported.

"Both my boss, who was with me, and I kept saying, 'I can't believe how big this avalanche is on November 21,'" said Toepfer, who visited the slide area the next day. "This was an unusually large avalanche for this time of year. And as much as I love avalanches, that makes me very anxious."

John Taylor, British Museum
It's now just over one month since the Book of the Dead exhibition opened to the public – the culmination of a number of years work. So it's greatly satisfying to see it full of people at last.
We've always been aware that here at the British Museum we have one of the best collections of books of the dead in the world, but usually we can only display a small proportion of them. So we've always wanted to find an opportunity to display a larger selection of them and also explain what they are. If you look at the Egyptian galleries here you will see references to Books of the Dead, you'll see parts of them, but we have never been able to focus so closely on them and really explain how they work.
Seeing the objects in place is really exciting. You think you can get a sense of what it will look like but when you see the installation in the space for the first time it can be a real revelation, especially as plans change so much over the course of the development.
One of the problems we faced was that there are so many stories you can tell about the books of the dead, but you can't explain them all. Originally I had a plan that there would be two main threads to the exhibition: a narrative that would follow an Egyptian on his way from death to afterlife, and then another thread all about the history of the Book of the Dead – how it evolved over time, how it was made, and the scribes who wrote the manuscripts.
In the end we focussed on the narrative of the journey to the afterlife because we thought that would be the most accessible way of presenting the Book of the Dead. This way visitors can identify with one Egyptian and find out which spells he needed on the way as different situations arose.
One of the things we'd love to know more about is how the ancient Egyptians imagined the Book of the Dead would be used. Did they think the dead would unroll this document and read it? Or was it more just the fact of having it there in the tomb that magically conveyed the spells to you?
It's probably more likely to be the second option because some of the spells couldn't be read as they're so full of nonsense! (either the scribe couldn't read them or he was copying from a defective original).
Perhaps there was a box-ticking mentality going on here: you should have one of these in your tomb so you get it and it doesn't really matter if it's completely accurate or not. You've got it, it's there, it's in the tomb, and it has got the right spells on it. It's a part of the burial kit you must have.

Southend United 2-0 Northampton Town - Talking Cobblers!
Brian Jeeves contemplates using earplugs at Roots Hall Stadium.
The beauty of football is that it is a game of opinions. You and I could watch the same match but come up with completely contrasting views. It doesn't mean either of us know any more or less about the game or indeed the team or players we love, just that we've scrutinised proceedings in a different way. Of course, we pay our money at the turnstile and we are all entitled to our opinions...However, sometimes that entitlement is abused, and I can think of no better example of this than the bloke who sits behind me at fortress Roots Hall.
I write this piece, safe in the knowledge that most of the supporters sitting around me agree. Why he bothers going to football is anyone's guess. Sure, I know Southend United can drive you to the edge, drink and medical help, but when the team are on the crest of a wave you really don't have the right to act like the proverbial bully behind the big fence!
Let us refer to our subject as "Expert panellist" as clearly he should join the assemblage of former alcoholics, druggies and failed lower league managers who we have occasionally seen spouting their verbal diarrhea on a certain Saturday afternoon TV soccer show. He bellows every thought at ten decibels so everyone can hear him, and believes only his view matters. Already this season he has made idiotic statements of "Helen Chamberlain" proportions (hardly a favourite amongst Shrimpers fans after her attempt to sabotage our big day at Wembley). Firstly during a pre season friendly with Queen's Park Rangers he boldly claimed, "This has nil-nil written all over it" when the score was already 1-1. Then after just two minutes of a Capital One Cup tie with Yeovil Town, he spouted "So do I" when Glovers followers harmonically chanted how they wanted to go home because of Southend's resemblance to a public toilet . Don't let me stop you mate, sod-off!
Anyway, football. Southend United have made a decent start to their League Two campaign. Victories over Plymouth and Hartlepool see the Shrimpers sitting pretty in the league, and already tongues are wagging about a possible push for promotion. Nevertheless, this afternoon the bar is raised. Northampton Town are amongst the division's favourites, they arrive on the Essex Riviera in the knowledge it's been almost five years since they've lost here. We get off to a feisty start with a flurry of early yellow cards and a penalty for the Cobblers. Will Atkinson mistimed a challenge on Joe Widdowson, and whistler Mr A. Davies (who was already struggling to control proceedings) pointed to the spot. From our seats at the far end of the East Stand, it was difficult to tell if the decision was accurate or not, queue Expert Panellist "You can't tackle like that, penalty all day long" he bawls, he must have bionic eyes to have clearly seen it from here. Anyhow, it's all irrelevant. Southend simply do not concede goals just now. Roy O'Donovan fired his spot kick low to Daniel Bentley's left, only to see the Shrimpers custodian turn it aside with a wonderful save. "Crap penalty", EP scoffs. While the rest of the Roots Hall lord their goalie, he simply cannot bring himself to pass any credit to our heroic future England star.
The game continues in a cagey manor. Southend are playing the more fluent football while Northampton are reliant on brute force to stem the flow. Anthony Straker has made a decent start to the campaign, and once again today is involved in some of Southend's brightest moments. I'm pleased for the lad, he's an honest footballer who has worked hard on his game following a disappointing first season at Roots Hall, something that's completely lost on dear old EP. "Go on Straker, make a name for yourself" he sarcastically calls out every time the Shrimpers wide man receives the ball. This was boring the first time, but now, twenty minutes into proceedings, the urge to ram a rolled up pair of socks into his gob has become somewhat over powering. Southend break down the left flank, but Straker's cross towards Barry Corr is plucked out of the air by Cobblers custodian Matt Duke "Rubbish Straker"! EP once again fires unjust abuse at the Southend man, perhaps he was bullied at school or something.
The robust tackling was always going to produce a flash point. Chris Hackett was late on Straker, resulting in a second yellow card for the Cobblers player. "You can get up now Straker" EP spouts at the prostrate Shrimpers man as a beleaguered Hackett trudged off the field.
Despite the numerical disadvantage, Northampton went desperately close to grabbing the lead. Lee Collins' header looked destined for the net only for skipper White to avert the danger in the nick of time.
Then a goal, Freddy Eastwood's strike is deflected into the path of Straker, and to the delight of the home crowd he guides the ball past Duke to give Southend the lead. Well, I say delight of the home crowd, all bar one "He knew about as much about that as I did" EP yells mockingly, don't give yourself that much credit mate, I think to myself.
From the restart, Southend gain possession but a pass from Straker goes wayward in its search for Eastwood. A predictable response of "If I had a pound for every crap pass you've made Straker" roars out from the seat behind me, please mate, for God's sake buy a season ticket at West Ham!
Southend reach the interval with their lead intact. The crowd warmly applaud the team off the field while EP disappears in the direction of the food bar. If he's this critical of the our footballers, Christ alone knows what he'll make of a Roots Hall hotdog!
After the half time brew, Southend set about cementing a third successive league victory. White picked out Corr with a delicious cross, but the Shrimpers front man couldn't find the target with his header. Northampton rally, but Northern Ireland under 21's defender Adam Thompson reads the situation and snubs out and potential threat. "Well played Atkinson" EP shouts, there is a deathly silence as I dare to correct his wayward identification of one of our own players!
As the home side press, EP continues to get the names mixed up, except for poor old Anthony Straker who continues to shoulder the brunt of his blinkered abuse. I wonder how many games it'll be before this so called supporter gives the bloke a bit of credit, but go back to my original line of thinking, probably bullied at school!
Just after the hour mark, the home side seal the points. We long to see the Freddy Eastwood who once captured the imagination of the Roots Hall crowd. Well, now there are signs that he's rediscovered the Midas touch as he latched on to White's path before dispatching a crisp finish beyond Duke to double the lead.
There was still time for Duke to deny both Corr and Atkinson, while Eastwood fired over as Southend threatened to run riot.
A shriek from Mr Davies' whistle confirms Southend's best start to a league campaign for umpteen years. The team are looking unified, indeed it is difficult to single out any particular star man when they are all working together much like the components in a highly tuned engine. Nevertheless, you can't keep everyone happy "We were a bit lucky at times" EP states, however, who to is anyone's guess. Anyway, Southend troop off the park sitting level at the top of League Two with Oxford United and I'm safe in the knowledge it'll be three weeks before I have to listen to EP's ramblings again as the next two games are away. I understand from a fellow supporter that our expert regularly performs in local amateur dramatics. I wonder if our Anthony or for that matter any Real supporter fancies joining me for a season ticket at the Palace Theatre, RUBBISH HAMLET!
Southend United: Bentley, White, Coker, Laird, Prosser, Eastwood, Corr, Straker, Atkinson, Leonard, Thompson.
Southend United substitutes: P.Smith, Timlin, Reid, Hurst, Cowan, Clifford, Payne.

NORCECA Championships
Event: 2011 NORCECA Continental Championship
Dates: Men's: Sept 3-11, 2011 Women's: Sept 24-Oct 2, 2011
Location: TBD
Website: http://www.norceca.org/
The NORCECA Continental Championships are held every second year for both the men's and women's national volleyball teams within the NORCECA countries (North America, Central America, and the Caribbean). In addition to valuable world ranking points, the winner of these events gets a berth into FIVB World Grand Champions Cup (year following the Olympics) or FIVB World Cup (year preceding the Olympics.
2009 marked the 21st time that these championships took place for women and men. In 2009, the Canadian women's team finished in 5th place, finishing ahead of Mexico, Costa Rico and Trinidad & Tobago. The national women's team has played in every championship except for in 1971 and in 2001. Team Canada's best result on the women's side has been second place, which they achieved in 1973 and 1989.
In 2009, the men's national team played in the bronze medal game after an impressive win against the Dominican Republic in the quarterfinals in which they won in 5 sets. They played Puerto Rico in the 3/4 finals and ended up in 4th place. The Canadian men's team has played in every single NORCECA championship since it began in 1969. Team Canada's best results on the men's side were in 1979, 1983, 1989 and 2003 where they came in second place.
NORCECA also hosts Championships in the Junior and Youth Categories every second year (even years) which qualifies teams for the FIVB Junior and Youth World Championships.

In the world of NCAA football, the first Wednesday in February is what's known as National Signing Day, the first day on which incoming recruits can submit their Letters of Intent. For U.S. college coaches, it's their Christmas, as they officially learn which prospects from their respective wish lists they will actually get to work with over the next four or five years.
Canadian kids have positioned themselves more prominently on those NCAA recruiting wish lists in recent years. By attending football camps and combines south of the border or, in some cases, even moving to the States to play at American high schools and prep schools the current generation of Canuck prospects is doing whatever it takes to establish themselves against American competition.
The young men in Canada's Class of 2013, however, aren't the type who usually have to do much to turn heads. In fact, some would say that these guys are virtually impossible to ignore, as this year, our nation's No. 1 football export will be size.
Headlining the list of those Canadians who have already made verbal commitments and are expected to sign with NCAA programs on February 6 is 6'8" offensive tackle David Knevel from Brantford, Ontario's Pauline Johnson Collegiate. While Knevel has committed to the Nebraska Cornhuskers, the Huskers' longtime rivals, the Oklahoma Sooners have landed a Canadian OT of their own in 6'6" Pickering, Ontario product Josiah St. John, who will transfer from Fresno City College.
Rice University in Houston has found great recruiting success in Canada in recent years, as current Edmonton Eskimo Scott Mitchell, 2013 NFL Draft prospect Luke Willson (2012 Toronto Argonaut pick), 2013 CFL Draft prospect Hosam Shahin, and standout defensive tackle Christian Covington (2016 CFL Draft) have all excelled in the Owls program. With that in mind, it should come as no surprise that Rice has gone to the well again to land a verbal commitment from 6'4" offensive lineman Peter Godber from St. Andrew's College in Aurora, Ontario.
6'5" North Bay, Ontario native Ryan Hunter has spent the last two years playing football at Canisius High School in Buffalo, New York and the move appears to be paying off, as he is expected to sign to play O-Line with the Bowling Green Falcons of the Mid-American Conference. Breaking up the Ontario Signing Day monopoly but keeping with the offensive line theme is 6'7" Riley Feenan from Vancouver's Notre Dame Regional Secondary School. He has verbally committed to an FCS (formerly Division 1-AA) program, Robert Morris University in Pennsylvania.
This year's most unique Canadian NCAA recruit is 6'6", 300 lb. defensive tackle James Bodanis of Toronto. After spending the last three seasons with the University of Toronto Varsity Blues, Bodanis, a raw but highly athletic big man, is expected to transfer to Michigan State University, where he will have two years of NCAA eligibility.
On Wednesday, TSN.ca will have complete Signing Day coverage from a Canadian perspective, including a live online chat with me (@DuaneFordeTSN), Farhan Lalji (@FarhanLaljiTSN), and Canadian amateur football guru Lee Barette (@chatfootball). In addition to our Twitter updates, Kate McKenna (@TSNKate) will keep you in the loop with the latest from these young Canadians on their big day.

By Alice Wadleystaff writer
The Elmo city council met for their June meeting. The position of animal control still has not been filled. A person in Castle Dale called about the position, but never sent a letter to the city. There is interest from a 17 year old citizen. The city will have to contact the insurance company to see if they are allowed to hire a minor to be employed and operate a city vehicle. A motion was made to hire the 17 year old applicant if the city insurance permits his hiring. If the city receives any other applicants they will be considered as well. A catch pole and cages are available from the sheriff's office. The council motioned to purchase a catch pole, not to exceed $200.
The city has been looking to purchase a multi-purpose tractor to be used for city improvements and to dig graves at the cemetery. None of the tractors could dig deep enough for the graves. The council considered buying a backhoe, but that would cost too much money. The council decided to look for a multi-purpose tractor to purchase. They will put out a notice for available backhoe operators to dig graves when it was necessary. The operator will be compensated financially for their services.
The city discussed Christmas decorations for the light poles in the city. One company has a buy one a regular cost and get the next one half off deal. The deal ended the day of the council meeting, but they will see if they can extend the offer. The council motioned to purchase Christmas decorations for the light poles, not to exceed $5,000.
The sidewalk project is 80 percent complete. The city motioned to pay the amount due of, $50,748.53 to the contractor.
The council discussed allowing mobile homes in the city. A form memo was filled out by a resident seeking to put a mobile home in Elmo and taken to the county for a building permit. The mobile home must meet all county requirements and is to be inspected by an inspector. The question arose does Elmo city need to look at the zoning laws for mobile homes, to ensure that Elmo city is an appealing and safe community for the residents to live in. It will be put on the agenda for the next meeting with a public hearing. Modification to the city code to amend section, 2.024C4 to have mobile homes on a permanent foundation of masonry or concrete and amend 2-0187 to make for a minimum width of 20 feet for mobile homes.
The broken sprinkler has been fixed. The city needs to replace several sprinklers because they are well over 10 years old and will not turn. The sprinklers cost from $40 to $90. There is still money in the parks and recreation fund to fix the sprinklers.
The city needs to ensure operators of the new mower are properly trained on its use. One set of keys will be keep at the city office. The tractor will be made available for the summer hires to expedite their mowing. The council voted to pay the bills and last meetings minutes were approved.

Since America declared the "war on drugs" 40 years ago, it's racked up 45 million arrests, packed prisons, and cost the nation more than a trillion dollars. Teachers, parents, and members of community groups in Jefferson Township think they have a better idea.
Convinced that it's better to educate than incarcerate, the Jefferson Township Education Association has joined with school administrators and municipal organizations and pulled together a program that it hopes will help break the cycle of substance abuse.
Their group is called the "JTEAM" (for Jefferson Township Education Association & Municipal Organizations). Its first presentation, "An Introduction to Meditation," is set for May 1, from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m., in the high school auditorium. The workshop will focus on how breathing exercises and meditation can alleviate physical and mental tension.
Rosemary McHugh is a media specialist in the middle school and chair of JTEAM, which has partnered with the local PTA, the Lake Hopatcong Elks, and other municipal organizations to offer programs to educate students and the community about the dangers of abusing drugs and other substances, including alcohol. The group includes 16 teachers, from every school in the district, who have volunteered to plan in-classroom as well as evening events.
"We want our students to learn to make better choices," says McHugh. "There's a misconception that drug use is just a phase or rite of passage. The fact is that addiction is a lifelong struggle that often begins in the teen years"
JTEAM aims to counter this problem through "positive goal-oriented life skills training" combined with drug awareness education, she said. It has created a website, www.jeffersonteam.org, as a resource for parents, students, and teachers on the dangers of substance abuse and on where to get help.
JTEAM's May 1 workshop is free to all community members and students in grades 6-12. Free childcare will be provided. Enroll by clicking the event on the calendar page at www.jeffersonteam.org.
Funding for this presentation is provided through a PRIDE grant from the New Jersey Education Association in partnership with the Lake Hopatcong Elks. If you are interested in partnering with JTEAM by donating funds or other resources—or if you work in the mental health field and would like to donate your time as a presenter—please contact JTEAM at email@example.com.

The RSX chassis was designed to achieve quick handling response, outstanding grip, a smooth and compliant ride, excellent stability, and exceptional packaging efficiency to help maximize spaciousness in the passenger cabin and engine bay.
After careful analysis of all the variables involved, RSX engineers developed an all-new, Control-Link MacPherson Strut front suspension design. The advanced design provides the precise handling, stability and comfort of a double-wishbone layout with packaging efficiency that is difficult to achieve with a conventional front double-wishbone design.
At the rear, a new, highly compact double-wishbone suspension improves handling, ride comfort, stability, and space efficiency. Cornering grip is also enhanced by standard 205/55R16 all-season high-performance tires on 16-inch, five-spoke alloy wheels.
To fulfill its high-performance role, the suspension of the RSX Type-S delivers even more responsive handling through stiffer rear springs and more compression and rebound damping front and rear.
Strong, secure stopping power is provided by large-diameter disc brakes equipped with a standard Anti-lock Braking System (ABS). The RSX is equipped with 10.3-inch ventilated front discs, while both models use 10.2-inch discs at the rear. The high-performance Type-S uses 11.8-inch ventilated discs in front.
Chassis At A Glance
Ride and Handling
- State-of-the-art Control-Link MacPherson Strut front suspension
- Compact, high-performance double-wishbone rear suspension
- 6-inch tires and alloy wheels
- High-mounted steering box with long control arms for improved toe control (tracking stability)
- Large-diameter front and rear disc brakes
- Improved pedal rigidity and higher braking force for enhanced feel
- Quick-ratio power steering system for crisp handling
- Variable-capacity power-steering pump for excellent driver feedback and improved fuel efficiency
- Steering damper for more solid feel and enhanced straight-line stability
- Standard four-sensor, three-channel Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)
The front suspension of the RSX combines performance-tuned handling (including superb grip and responsiveness) with positive feedback and road feel, a smooth and fluid ride, excellent space efficiency, and a reassuring level of safety.
After analyzing these objectives, the RSX engineers designed an all-new, state-of-the-art Control-Link MacPherson Strut front suspension with performance comparable to a double-wishbone system. Compared with conventional strut designs, this new design provides superior suspension geometry and control by adding a control link to precisely vary toe change throughout the suspension's travel. Combined with refined suspension geometry, damping, and carefully tuned spring rates, the suspension helps increase the front tire's contact with the road-enhancing handling performance and stability, particularly during sporty driving. For superb refinement, the layout incorporates low-friction progressive-valve gas-pressurized shock absorbers that more effectively absorb bumps and other road shocks.
The compact design of the Control-Link MacPherson Strut front suspension helps to maximize packaging efficiency, providing added room for the RSX's high-output engines and increasing the spaciousness of the cabin. This layout also provides advantages simply not obtainable with a conventional front double-wishbone suspension, including the ability to incorporate a high-mounted steering gearbox. This arrangement uses 43 percent longer, high-mounted tie rods to steer the vehicle and provide improved toe control (the amount the tires angle in toward the body). The steering system also provides exceptional tracking stability during cornering.
The damping rate for the front suspension on the high-performance Type-S is 40 percent higher for enhanced handling performance and responsiveness.
Like the front suspension, the double-wishbone rear suspension of the RSX has been carefully designed to deliver high-performance handling, stability, excellent ride comfort and outstanding space efficiency. Rear toe-in during braking helps improve the vehicle's stopping stability. The geometry of this new suspension also arcs the tires rearward when compressing over bumps to reduce road shock and provide a smoother more comfortable ride. By enhancing the rigidity of the body, bearings, control arms, and stabilizer bar, the rear suspension provides secure tire-to-ground contact for smooth, predictable handling.
At the same time, this highly compact design uses less space than conventional double-wishbone systems because there is no trailing arm alongside the fuel tank. Freeing up space in this manner allowed the engineers to move the exhaust pre-chamber from the cabin floor to the rear-enabling them to design a wider trunk and a flat floor in the interior.
Further enhancing the RSX's precise, stable handling is a suspension geometry with a well-balanced roll axis.
The Type-S rear suspension is specially tuned for enhanced responsiveness, utilizing stiffer springs and revised damping settings.
To give the steering a "race car" feel, the steering system was optimized for outstanding precision and control. Compared with the Acura Integra, the RSX features a quicker-ratio power steering system for a more nimble handling response. Steering smoothness and directional stability are enhanced with a vibration-reducing, oil-filled damper in the steering box.
The RSX uses a torque-sensitive, rack-and-pinion power steering system equipped with a new variable-capacity power-steering pump. By incorporating a relief valve, which adjusts necessary power assist through oil-quantity control, the new pump is able to achieve a linear injection volume. Unnecessary oil flow at 900 rpm and above is eliminated-increasing fuel economy by 0.5 percent.
Tracking stability is enhanced by the high-mounted steering box, which improves toe control (the amount the tires angle in toward the body) by using long, high-mounted tie rods to steer the vehicle.
For outstanding stopping power and excellent resistance to fade, the RSX is equipped with 10.3-inch ventilated front disc brakes and 10.2-inch rotors at the rear.
On the Type-S, the ventilated front rotors are increased in diameter to 11.8 inches. In addition, front caliper piston area has been reduced for improved rigidity, and braking force has been increased for a notably solid, linear pedal feel.
Standard on both RSX models is a three-channel Anti-lock Braking System with a speed sensor located at each wheel. The system modulates braking power to the front wheels independently and to the rear wheels in tandem-enhancing driver control during maximum-effort stops.
The RSX wears large wheels and tires in keeping with its race-bred, sports coupe breeding. There is one specified tire/wheel combination for both models: 205/55R16 Michelin MXM-4 all-season high-performance tires on strong, lightweight 16-inch, five-spoke cast-alloy wheels.
The unique flat floor of the RSX-made possible by the compact rear suspension and such innovations as a high-efficiency exhaust system-helps make the cabin remarkably spaciousness and comfortable. To improve the floor's torsional rigidity, the RSX uses a "tunnel side frame" with a large, flat cross-section instead of the usual tunnel structure.
The RSX is equipped with a new four-layer resin fuel tank that offers reduced weight, increased capacity, improved safety, and reduced emissions. Capacity is maximized because the resin tank can be molded to fit around other components. The RSX also incorporates a returnless fuel supply system that helps reduce vapor generation.

Justice Begins at Home: Extending FLSA Protections to Home Care Workers
Dec 05, 2013
By Lauren French
The U.S. Department of Labor recently announced that it would be extending the Fair Labor Standards Act's minimum wage and overtime protections to workers who provide home care assistance to older adults and those with illness, injury or disability. This was welcome news for the nearly two million home workers who have long been denied these basic protections that most U.S. workers already enjoy.
To explain how this new rule would be implemented, the National Employment Law Project (NELP) hosted a webinar on December 3 featuring experts in the areas of home care work, employment law, and Medicare programs. The panelists discussed the details of implementing the new regulation and the ways in which it would affect workers and employers.
Cathy Ruckelshaus, General Counsel & Program Director of NELP, explained the history of the so-called companionship exemption. When Congress extended coverage of the Fair Labor Standards Act to domestic services workers in 1974 it created limited exceptions for casual baby sitters and workers providing companionship services for the elderly. However, Department of Labor regulations issued under the law defined the term "companionship services" very broadly to include workers such as certified nursing assistants and health aids.

Adorable and velvety!
"These flats are so cute, and the velvet material is an absolutely beautiful berry/wine. I normally don't wear ballet flats because I find that they lack support (this is no different), but I couldn't pass on this one. They are comfortable and fit true to size, but they don't seem particularly hardy."

Nice Flat But Too Narrow
"This is a great flat if you have normal to narrow feet. After reading all the reviews, I went ahead and ordered them a size bigger. They did fit but I have slightly wider feet and after wearing them around the house for an hour, I couldn't stand them anymore. They were too tight around my toes. What a shame because I loved the color and the style. Had to return them! :("

Nice boot,
"I was looking for a simple gray boot and these fit the bill. Shoes were fairly comfortable, obviously not like a sneaker. Color true to the site.I ended up returning them in the end because they weren't quite what I wanted, especially at $100+ dollars."
