By EUGENE SWALBERGsports writer
The lady Pirate volleyball team traveled to two rival schools and came away with much different outcomes. The lady Pirates first traveled to Whitehorse to play the lady Raiders who have made considerable noise on the volleyball court as of late. The lady Pirates wanted to match the tone of the JV game where the JV lady Pirates took the JV lady Raiders in four sets to win the match. The lady Pirates took to the court and took charge winning the match in three sets and really never feeling too much pressure. The front line of Michaela Hughes and Jamie Johnson was too much for the lady Raiders to deal with. The 'W' was nice and it set the lady Pirates up for the next test in their quest to make a run at State, a trip to the never easy court of the lady Bucks of Monticello. Unlike the previous match where the Pirates wanted to follow the lead of the much improved JV team, this day they wanted to set a new course as the younger Bucks took it to the younger Pirates. Early on the lady Pirates held their own until senior Michaela Hughes pounded a ball over the net but was not square and came down funny on her left foot and ankle. She went down and would not return the rest of the evening. Hannah Manalili subbed into the game and the lady Pirates made an immediate shift having Dallice Johnson fill in for Michaela's spot and Hannah acting as setter. Coach Simmons said he was impressed at how quickly the girls shifted into different roles but really didn't settle into the game. Coach Simmons said, "the girls just didn't seem to settle in and seemed flat. The lady Bucks are a quality team but not out of our league, we could have played better and given them a closer game but we have a chance to make amends as they still have to visit us on our floor." The lady Pirates lost the match in three sets with the final set having a more respectable score as the girls began to settle in but it was too little, too late.
On Sept. 22, the fans of the lady Pirates volleyball team and the players themselves were treated to a double header against two region opponents. First the lady Jaguars of Navajo Mountain graced the floor of the Pirate gym and someone forgot to tell them that their job was to be seen but not heard. I'm sure someone will tell them next time because they made some noise and luckily it got the attention of the lady Pirates. The first game started out slow and though the lady Jaguars had a long bus ride, they were moving surprisingly fast around the court picking up loose balls. The lady Pirates who had a restful night in their own beds seems a bit flat-footed. The score of the first set showed just how flat footed, 25-18. Way too much for the talent that the lady Pirates have. But the roar wasn't quite loud enough as the second set had the lady Jaguars with an early seven point lead before the lady Pirates settled down and began to make a game of it. Towards the end of the set the Jaguars were leading 24-20 with the lady Pirates serving. The crowd was excited as were the players and point by point the Pirates clawed their way to a 24 tie before they finished the Jaguars off by scoring the next two points. The lady Pirates went on a 6-0 run to close the game out. This woke them up and the third and final set was won by a score of 25-? .The kinks were out and the lady Pirates were awake and ready for the lady Cougars of Monument Valley. After a lengthy lunch break the players were back on the court and this time the Pirates were ready much earlier than before. The lady Cougars were also more skilled than the lady Jaguars and the court was heating up. The lady Pirates went to their bread and butter setting Jamie Johnson and Michaela Hughes on the front line. However, more often than not the lady Cougars responded by handling the spike and returning it over the net as well and an occasional block or two to make thing interesting. The lady Pirates had to settle down and play to win as the lady Cougars were not going home without a fight. The Pirates won the first set but dropped the second. This brought up the excitement level in the gym but in the end the lady Pirates put them away as they ready themselves to travel to Price to play Pinnacle. The Green River lady Pirates recently visited the home court of the lady Panthers of Pinnacle Academy for a region girls volleyball game. The rivalry between the two schools is blossoming nicely as each team hungers for a win. The lady Pirates entered Wednesday night's game ready for a fight and a fight they got. The first set had the lady Pirates pretty much in control the whole game with the Pirates winning 25 - 10. In the second set things got interesting. Mid-way through the set with a score of 15 - 10 in the lady Pirates favor, the lady Panthers figured they'd had enough and fought back to tie the score and to go up by one. This lit a fire under the lady Pirates, and though credit needs to go to the front line of the Panthers who handled more than a few of the hard hits by Michaela Hughes and Jamie Johnson, they couldn't handle everything and the lady Pirates finished the set out with a score of 25 - 17. The Pirates finished off the match by taking the third set 25 - 17. Jamie Johnson closed out the match with 12 kills while Michaela Hughes ended with one less at 11. It was another match where during each set Dallice Johnson was setting the hitters up nicely as Feleshia Antillon, Sydney Thayn and Mikayla Shaffer covered the floor and made their share of power hits and kills. All this play sets the lady Pirates up nicely with home games remaining against region foes Monticello and Whitehorse but they still must make the arduous trek to the spectacular wild lands of Southern Utah to play Monument Valley and Navajo Mountain.

|Office of Community
Oriented Policing Services
U.S. Department of Justice
COPS' Universal Hiring Program (UHP) provides funding directly to local, state, and tribal jurisdictions for the salaries and benefits of newly hired officers engaged in community policing. COPS awards funding through UHP to help law enforcement agencies partner with their communities to develop creative and innovative ways to deal with long-standing problems. COPS merged the COPS FAST and AHEAD program functions into UHP in 1995, which incorporated both of these previous initiatives into one centralized grant program.
UHP provides funding to all eligible communities, regardless of size, for the direct hire of police officers and sheriffs' deputies. These newly hired officers are then deployed into community policing, or a comparable number of veteran officers may be redeployed into community policing activities in their place.
As with the FAST and AHEAD programs, UHP provides federal funding for 75 percent of a newly hired entry-level officer's salary and benefits, up to a maximum amount of $75,000 per officer, over the course of the three-year grant period. Departments are generally required to contribute at least 25 percent in local matching funds, unless the recipient agency is approved for a waiver of the local match based upon a demonstration of extraordinary fiscal hardship.
COPS has announced 63 rounds of Universal Hiring Program funding since September 1995. COPS had awarded approximately $4.76 billion under FAST, AHEAD, and UHP to hire more than 64,000 officers as of August 2005.

Compare Maserati Garages and Specialists in Peckham with Who Can Fix My Car.
Yes prompt service and reasonably priced.
Terrible service. Scammers never did the work. They just polished my old parts and pit them back on.
Executive Motor Service was quick, reliable and cheap and very friendly team. Took my car in on the Thursday afternoon and the job was done by 12 pm Saturday afternoon. Looks brand new and no extra cost definitely recommend these guys Darren C
I was really impressed with the service I received. Had been meaning to repair bodywork on my outlander but never had time to get it done during term time as the car was needed for school run. Carl and his team did an excellent job. Looks like new. Only came over budget because I asked him to do more than what I quoted for originally. Professional and trustworthy. Would definitely recommend.
Initally Carl seemed very helpful, however due my experience with this garage i am giving a negative review. I put in a quote and this garage was the first to respond. I then realised i needed extra work done to the car. I called the garage and spoke to a guy called Carl. He was very helpful and advised that he could carry out the additional work too at a good price. He also sounded very knowledgeable with my type of car which was also good. In the telephone converstation with Carl i asked if he was open the next day which was on Sunday. He advised he wasnt however would text me over his number and garage details to arrange a time he could open the garage so i could drop my car off. I the replied to Carl advising that i would drop the car off at 1pm. I never got a reply. I then sent another message to Carl advising when i can drop my car and still no reply. He agreed to carry out the work and then stopped all communication with me and still to this day has not contacted me. This delayed me getting my car fixed and is extremely unprofessional. If he didnt want to carry out the work he should of said at the time rather then lead me on. I would not recommend this garage and would avoid at all costs. If they cant get his communication right i would not trust this garage with my car.
Excellent service - Highly recommend!!!!
Moses did a fantastic job on the car. Great level of service, and thoroughly nice guy. Would definitely use again and recommend to all.
Good work, great service in good price. Happy to discover this quality local garage.
Incredible work, quick and great job too. Made me feel very comfortable and will be taking it back to fix some small scratches in the future.
Had dent in front panel fixed in Volkswagen Up and delighted with the results. Done on time and with very friendly service, as well as being a good price.
Done my car really good work would recommend
Great job, exactly as described. Would happily use Bodyteq again.
couldn`t find the problem
the quote was £75 incl VAT but that was not the case
Thanks Jason. Would probably use again.
Fixed my front driver side headlight and passenger side bulb. I was very impressed with the speed and excellent customer service provided. I would recommend and I would use again.
Job done quickly as always, top guys
Wonderful and honest and reability
All good!
Very good service.
Mark did a great job repairing some scratches on the car . He also was kind enough to pick up and deliver the car back to me as I wasn't well.
Great service and price would use again and recommend
Mark was the first to respond. You can clearly tell he has vast experience in his field (paint and body work repair). He fixed my dent in a few days and the paint finish is amazingg! Highly recommend him and his company.
Good work done on clutch and helped out a lot with some of the body work. Would definitely recommend.
Such a nice and friendly guy. Car was finished earlier than expected time. Explained everything and answered all my questions.
Great, quick service and easy to contact for updates on the work. Were accommodating from drop off to pick up
Would not recommend ! I'm not one to write reviews, but I was really upset when I went to get a full service and a month later, my oil completely runs out. My car got an oil leak which it never had before the "service". There wasn't a proper top up on my fluids and there was a lot of loose parts under my bonnet which a specialist had told be about. I went to a specialist for my car and they told me the service was done poorly. Not to mention that my horn stopped working after that, and wasn't even told that one of my headlights wasn't working anymore. Very poor service.
Member of good garage scheme makes them a local garage to rely on. Professional and polite, completed the job before schedule time given.
Had a new clutch supplied and fitted. Would highly recommend this garage.Gonna use them from now on if I could give 6stars i would. Thank you.
MOT, Full service, 2 new front tyres and new front brake pads. Good customer service.

"I bought these because they look super cute and very "rock n roll", unfortunately, the back straps were not very secure around my ankles and they ran a little long. I will give them 3 stars because I am going to have to get another hole put in the back strap and I am hoping that will take care of the problem. :("

Skip to comments.Is Huma Abedin an Agent of Saudi Intelligence?
Posted on 11/01/2007 12:44:09 PM PDT by KayEyeDoubleDee
Hillary's Mystery Woman: Who is Huma?
Senator Clinton's closest aide, Ms. Abedin never sweats; Oscar de la Renta wants to dress her
by Spencer Morgan
Published: April 1, 2007
...The back story, as it were, begins 32 years ago in Kalamazoo, Mich., where Ms. Abedin, who declined to participate in this article, lived until the age of 2. Her family then relocated to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, where she lived until returning to the States for college. She attended George Washington University. Her father, who died when she was 17, was an Islamic and Middle Eastern scholar of Indian decent. He founded his own institute devoted to Western-Eastern and interfaith understanding and reconciliation and published a journal focusing on Muslim minorities living in the diaspora. Her mother, a renowned professor in Saudi Arabia, is Pakistani.
Ms. Abedin recently bought an apartment in the vicinity of 12th and U streets in Washington, D.C. ...
Ms. Abedin began working for Mrs. Clinton as an intern for the then First Lady in 1996. She was hired as a staff assistant to the First Lady's chief of staff, Maggie Williams. For several years, she was the backup to Mrs. Clinton's permanent personal aide, Allison Stein, and she officially took over as Mrs. Clinton's aide and advisor around the time of the 2000 Senate race.
Her Presidential campaign title is "traveling chief of staff"...
According to a friend, her favorite designers are Mr. de la Renta, Catherine Malandrino, Charles Nolan and Prada. "And she has a weakness for Marc Jacobs bags," said the friend. "She is known for her bags."
Robert Barnett, the Clintons' longtime attorney, said that in 11 years of knowing her, he has never seen her wear the same outfit twice...
Can You Top This?
Unrelated: the city's sex life bottoms out; Hillary's gal Friday; Dean among the Queens
by Michael Musto
August 7th, 2007 7:58 PM
...As I recently said on MONICA CROWLEY's radio show, whisper campaigns are claiming that HILLARY CLINTON is GAYLE KINGing her aide de camp, the glamorous HUMA ABEDIN, an Indian/Pakistani goddess from Kalamazoo, Michigan. In other words, Hillary may be putting Huma out there in the press and purposely making her more visible as a pre-emptive strike that amounts to her hiding in plain sight. This way, no Republican can later say, "Who is this gorgeous babe who spends so much intimate time with Hillary that the Observer called her Hill's 'body person'? Was GENNIFER FLOWERS's book right about Hillary's sexual taste?" And does either of this couple have the balls to bottom?
Of course that whole scenario can't possibly be true, since Bill and Hill have been so lovey-dovey lately for the cameras, and besides, whenever he's been serviced by an internor by anyonehe's clearly been thinking of his wife. (They're that close.) But suddenly, Humaa sort of Muslim SALMA HAYEKhas that spread in Vogue and the accompanying write-up notes that she "oversees every minute of Senator Clinton's day." Every single minute? Even Gayle King takes a break now and then! (PS: If I called for comment, Hillary's camp would surely say, "Just because two powerful women are closer than sardines doesn't make them dykes." And that's so true. Look at MATT and BEN. But now that Crowley has dubbed me the head of Huma Resources, I'm going to pursue this story with every cojone I've got.)
Hillary Lesbian Rumor Given Weight by DOJ Official
by BHDC Staff
Tuesday September 11th, 2007 12:25 PM
We're still a bit incredulous on this one, but a top level U.S. Department of Justice official is telling Big Head DC that Michael Musto's rumor about Hillary Clinton fooling around with one of her top female aides Huma Abedin is based in reality!
"I am close enough to Hillary and Huma to tell you that this rumor' is true," the official says. "It is well known inside her campaign that Hillary and Huma are an item.
"If you call Hillary's residence in DC first thing in the morning, Huma answers the phone," the official continues. "Same thing late at night and on the road. It's a closely guarded secret that Hillary's inner circle guards at all costs."
Make of that what you will, kids. But know this: The official is someone who has proven highly credible in the past...
Richard Johnson
October 21, 2007
WHAT was Hillary Clinton's ultra-glamorous right-hand woman, Huma Abedin, doing cooling her heels outside a Bukharian Jewish Congress reception in the Senate on Thursday afternoon? We're not sure, but one of D.C.'s most eligible bachelors, Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-Brooklyn), was the emcee. As the event wrapped up, an ebullient Weiner was spotted escorting the charming Abedin - who has been profiled in Vogue - out the Capitol's first-floor doors. "They were yapping and catching up," said a Weiner spokesman.
Shocking Inside DC Scandal Rumor: A Media Ethics Dilemma
Ron Rosenbaum
October 29, 2007 11:42 PM
So I was down in DC this past weekend and happened to run into a well-connected media person, who told me flatly, unequivocally that "everyone knows" The LA Times was sitting on a story, all wrapped up and ready to go about what is a potentially devastating sexual scandal involving a leading Presidential candidate...
Rosenbaum's Political Physics
By Mickey Kaus
Wednesday, Oct. 31, 2007, 3:16 P.M.
Do you ever sense there is some large mass of dark matter, an unseen Scandal Star, the gravitational pull of which is warping the coverage of what seems, on the surface, a pretty dull presidential race? I do. So does Ron Rosenbaum. I thought the Dark Star was the Edwards affair allegation. But Rosenbaum says "everyone in the elite Mainstream media" knows about another juicy scandal that the LAT is supposedly sitting on. I guess this is proof that I'm not in the elite, because I don't know what he's talking about. ... My vestigial Limbaugh gland tells me it must involve a Democrat, or else the Times would have found a reason to print it. ... P.S.: If it's just Richardson, that will be very disappointing. ...
Halloween, Hillary, Huma and Hidden Sex Affair Story
I have been receiving emails about Huma - one came for a Department of Justice computer (ISP) stating this: "I am close enough to both Hillary and Huma to know that it is an open secret on the campaign that those two are romantically involved. It is something you will never get them to verify though "

How does the child of two university professors [one of them deceased], who is single, never married, and living on a clerical salary, in one of the most expensive cities in America, afford to "never... wear the same outfit twice"?
Much less purchase from the likes of Oscar de la Renta, Catherine Malandrino, Charles Nolan, Prada, and Marc Jacobs? Not to mention Yves Saint Laurent?
How does the child of two university professors [one of them deceased], who is single, never married, and living on a clerical salary, in one of the most expensive cities in America, afford to buy her own "apartment in the vicinity of 12th and U streets"?
What would such an apartment cost? $500,000? $750,000? $1,000,000?
Where is she getting that kind of money? Who is the co-signor on her loan?
And as bad as the financials of the Observer piece are, the psychological profile it paints is even worse:
"It was like 110 degrees outside," recalled the source, a political aide who asked to remain anonymous. "We were all just pouring down with sweat. But I have this distinct memory of Huma traipsing in in this blue pantsuitit was like this wool pantsuitnot a bead of sweat on her brow, not a hair out of place, with everything perfectly organized in her Yves Saint Laurent handbag."
That sort of fantastical, supernaturally tinged tale is not unusual. Indeed, in the insular world of New York and D.C. politics, Huma Abedin has become a sort of mythical figure...
"I think she has special powers," said public-radio broadcaster Katia Dunn, who recently crossed paths with Ms. Abedin and Mrs. Clinton at a café on Capitol Hill...
Representative Anthony Weiner, a swingingly single Brooklyn Democrat who has known Ms. Abedin since before Hillary Clinton was elected to office, talked about her ability to perform under pressure "preternaturally"...
"Have you seen Huma?" asked James Carville, the former advisor to President Clinton. "Her appearance is just like, Hoh my God!' She takes your breath away. She's an unbelievably, stunningly gorgeous woman. Nobody in that position can be that good-looking; it just doesn't happen." He added that she is also "damn smart."
"She is a person of enormous intellect with in-depth knowledge on a number of issuesespecially issues pertaining to the Middle East," said Senator John McCain, in a statement relayed by one of his aides.
"Huma is an example of why more people, particularly in Washington, need to understand the rest of the world, need to recognize what an asset it is to have cross-cultural experiences," wrote Queen Noor of Jordan in an e-mail...
"I'd call Huma one in a million," said Mrs. Clinton's press secretary, Philippe Reines, "but that would mean there are 5,999 others in the world just like her, and there simply aren't. She is truly one of a kind, one in a billion. We are all in awe of her poise, grace, judgment, intellect and her seemingly endless reserve of kindness, patience and energy."
People get nervous & flighty & anxious in life when they CARE.
People are unflappable when they DON'T CARE.
Just from a purely psychological point of view, the fact that she seems to be unflappable within the confines of the biggest pressure cooker in American politics suggests to me that she doesn't care about American politics - that, instead, she cares about something else - something other than American politics.
And certainly the easiest way to not care about a set of circumstances in life is when you aren't actually participating in those circumstances, but rather are merely ACTING THE PART of someone who is participating in those circumstances.
The very fact that she spent 15 or 16 years in Saudi Arabia [from roughly the age of 2, until roughly the age of 18], and then showed up in the Clinton Whitehouse, as an intern, in 1996, at roughly the age of 21, is, in and of itself, a massive security breach.
That she then spent another five years in the Clinton Whitehouse, and, for most of the last seven years, has been wedded at the hip to Mrs. Clinton, night and day [whether or not they are engaging in acts of sodomy], is an unthinkable compromise of national security.
And even if it wasn't an "unthinkable compromise of national security" on Monday, September 10, 2001, it damned sure became an unthinkable compromise of national security on Tuesday, September 11, 2001.
As a thought experiment, reverse the roles, and suppose that Huma Abedin was a Jewish girl, with supermodel looks, and that her parents had left America when she was 2, and had emigrated to Israel [even though NEITHER of her parents had been born in Israel], and that her mother was an Israeli professor, and that her father had founded his own institute devoted to Israeli-American and interfaith understanding and reconciliation and published a journal focusing on Jewish minorities living in the diaspora.
And suppose that she had worked her way into the Clinton Whitehouse, in 1996, at the age of 21 [after spending 15 or 16 of her formative years in Israel], and that she had become wedded at the hip to Mrs. Clinton, night and day, for the next 11 years.
[We'll leave out the part about the 19 Jews - 15 of them from Israel - who hijacked a bunch of jetliners and flew them into the World Trade Center & the Pentagon, back in 2001.]
And suppose that she was spending money way beyond her apparent station in life.
And suppose that she was unflappable in pressure-cooker situtations.
Now suppose all of those things, and then come to the logical conclusion.
People would be screaming "Mossad" at the top of their lungs.
Bttt again.
Very good observation.
I hope you are completely wrong, however I don't think that's the case.
Hillary is elbow deep in this. I personally figure two ways.
All good points. The whole situation reeks to high heaven!!!!!!!
Best collection of rumor mongering I've ever seen on the internet.
Oh she'll be in Dubai by December....
No date-of birth given...
Did she graduate from GW? In what?
Mother a renowned professor in Saudi? I didn't know women in Saudi were allowed to go to school past a certain age, much less be professors....
No details about the death of her father and his interfaith understanding project sounds a little bogus doesn't it?
It just gets curiouser and curiouser.....
Good compilation here...curiouser and curiouser..
Just plain gross...bfl
Based on her picture in that red dress - NOT GUILTY!

That look on her face chills me to the bone.
Never trust her. Or Huma.
That's not the safest, most attractive neighborhood for a single woman to be residing...a 'changing' neighborhood at best.
You'd think she'd be living in Foggy Bottom or Georgetown...or even Capitol Hill.
Hmmm..maybe she's not actually living there..
It's all so odd- I'm watching with interest:)
Based on the pic in post #7...GUILTY!
Great.....a bull dyke for President. Just what this country.....or the world.....really needs right now. Will Iran negotiate with a dyke? Don't they hang them over there? A lesson on how to make our country look the fool in one easy election. Great, just great.
She is obviously purchasing her handbags on eBay: http://search.ebay.com/marc-jacobs-handbag_W0QQfsooZ2QQfsopZ34QQsbrsrtZd
The whole story is designed to deflect attention from the ChiComm agent who is actually even closer to Hillary...
We will see how PravdABDNCBS treats her compared to Larry Craig???
Pray for W and Our Victorious Troops
The Clintonistas have liberals drop some salacious rumors. It percolates for a while in the blogosphere. Then it creeps into right-wing talk radio. Then a few MSM types finally talk about it. Once everyone on the right and a few in the center are screaming for answers...
BAM! Hillary gives a "how-dare-you" speech, with genrous helpings of "you're just afraid of a powerful woman" and "I'm a victim." After the speech, her handlers show photos of Huma with her new fiancee with the talking points, "how could you say she's a lesbian", "you're just Islamophobic," and "you're sexist."
Voila! Hillary's detractors are humiliated, no one dares circulate any more rumors (even true ones) about Hillary's suspect proclivities (or even Bill's escapades) for a couple of years.
To quote Sean Connery in Red October, "let's give this one a wide berth."

I'm not worried about a Clintonian trap.
I'm worried about a Wahhabi trap.
This girl's resume just screams "Saudi Intelligence".
Or, worse yet, Al Qaeda intelligence.
Beautiful, wealthy, sexy, composed, unflappable, femme-fatale is the classic profile of a mole.
Agreed. Either it is Clintonian duplicity, as you believe, or an attempt by other Democrats who probably rightly see Hillary Clinton's presidential nomination as a disaster waiting to happen and are trying to derail the Clinton Express. For one matter, there is no love lost between the Clintons and the Kennedy family. Additionally, Al Gore has been alienated from the Clintons. Besides, we have our own problems with sex scandals, like Larry Craig and Rudy Giuliani. Best to let this play out without Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, the older conservative talkers, and the conservative Internet making noise about it, at least during primary season.
Yo! That ain't Huma Abedin. That's Mario Flores from the Bronx in drag.
Could it be...FBI Director Mueller? [Just speculation.]
Or she'll visit Ft Marcy Park!!!!
Reading along placemarker
Possible, and if it is derailed, Gore may 'reluctantly' agree to run again.
Look, the "sex scandal" aspect would be fun to speculate about, if, say, this girl grew up in Idaho, and she had a last name like "Smith", or "Jones".
But, as things stand, it's not the "sex scandal" we need to be speculating about: We need to be worrying about the threat that this girl poses to our national security if Hillary becomes president.
Not sure if any of this speculation would pan out, but I found the earlier story in the NY Observer very interesting.
Someone should certainly do a little research on her.
I also wondered how she could wear fresh designer clothing every day. Most of those outfits cost thousands. So, are we talking about someone who can mysteriously buy maybe half a million or a million dollars worth of clothing every year?
I agree that the Chinese connection is more important, but I'm curious about a Muslim, with Saudi connections and upbringing, who is this close to hillary, and evidently trusted by her.
Geesh, I wish you hadn't pointed that out. Now, I'll probably have to skip supper, go to bed, and try to sleep off that image!
I would have to lie to do that.
"And look where the passenger's left hand is..."
Kind of erotic, huh!? ;-)

Walla Walla Undersheriff Changes Plea to Guilty
The former Walla Walla Undersheriff accused of embezzling funds from the Sheriff's Office changed her plea to guilty in Spokane on Thursday.
Carole Lepiane originally pleaded not guilty to charges of embezzlement but changed that plea in federal court in Spokane.
According to federal court documents, Lepiane stole bail money from inmates on more than 50 occasions from 2004 to 2009 while employed with the Walla Walla County Sheriff's Office.
Lepiane would pocket cash sent from inmates at the jail for bail and cover up that stolen money with checks that came from a phone company that provides calls for inmates.
The former Undersheriff stopped working for the Sheriff's Office in 2009.
Her lawyer released the following statement regarding the embezzlement:
"Carole Lepiane is very sorry for the trouble she has caused her family, her former employer and Walla Walla County. She hopes to make amends."
The documents said Lepiane was depositing the money into her own personal bank account and using the money for her own online shopping purchases.

The company's creative director says the first family's choices were a total surprise.
Back in 2008, before she was first lady, Michelle Obama famously told Jay Leno about her habit of trawling J.Crew's website for "good stuff."
MORE MICHELLE: First lady pairs designer, affordable pieces
EVEN MORE: Reviews of Obama's inaugural outfit
It seems she's still doing the shopping, even as one of the world's style icons: The retailer played no role in outfitting the first lady and daughters for the inaugural swearing-in ceremony. The company found out the family was attired in its accessories and clothes this morning, when the rest of America did.
"They purchase things and we don't know what's going on," says president and creative director Jenna Lyons from her home in New York. "Every once in a while we get a request for a specific size if something is sold out, but we don't go overboard for them in any way."
That said, "it's an incredible part of American history and to be a part of it is probably one of the most poignant honors I can imagine," Lyons says. "The first time we were over the moon. To be included again is incredible." Four years ago, the first lady wore olive J.Crew gloves, while Sasha and Malia wore the brand's bright coats and scarves.
This go-round, the clothes may have been mall-ready, but the first family nonetheless customized them: The original dark brown horn buttons on Malia's plum coat were swapped out for what looks like a gold rim. "I love that," Lyons says. "She looked at it and said, 'I want to do something that feels more like me.' "
But the standout piece is no doubt the first lady's bejeweled J.Crew belt, which she wound around her custom-made Thom Browne coat after the church service. "I think says a lot about who she is," Lyons says. "I love that she wanted to put her own stamp on it."
"I hope Thom is OK with it," Lyons adds. "I hope he's happy, too."
Obama may have added the belt, but for the swearing-in ceremony she kicked off her pale blue J.Crew kitten heels in exchange for a pair of black Reed Krakoff boots. "I'm actually really happy she did what she needed to do and made herself comfortable," says Lyons, who remembers wondering if Obama was shivering in her heels during the parade four years ago. "I was not sad. I'm happy she took care of herself."
Fans on the hunt for what the first family wore are in luck: Some pieces are still available online, including Malia's double-cloth Lady coat and electric blue Teddy dress and her mother's Valentina kitten heels.
That belt? It's sold out.

The millions of photographs in the Museum's collections compose a vast mosaic of the nation's history. Photographs accompany most artifact collections. Thousands of images document engineering projects, for example, and more record the steel, petroleum, and railroad industries.
Some 150,000 images capture the history, art, and science of photography. Nineteenth-century photography, from its initial development by W. H. F. Talbot and Louis Daguerre, is especially well represented and includes cased images, paper photographs, and apparatus. Glass stereographs and news-service negatives by the Underwood & Underwood firm document life in America between the 1890s and the 1930s. The history of amateur photography and photojournalism are preserved here, along with the work of 20th-century masters such as Richard Avedon and Edward Weston. Thousands of cameras and other equipment represent the technical and business side of the field.

Course Outline
Unit 1: The Global Ecosystem
Essential Question
How are the Earth's systems connected and why is it important to understand the concept of interdependency?
The Big Idea
Creating a sustainable society and economy means understanding how human civilization is embedded within, and dependent upon, the natural environment. The science of ecology teaches us to look at connections—between parts of the Earth as well as between the Earth and human civilization. Ecology and sustainability are integrating frameworks that tie together ideas, such as the environment, energy use, and economics, that are often considered in isolation. In this unit, we will investigate natural systems, how they support human activities, and how sustainability teaches us to see parts in terms of their connection to whole systems.
Topics Covered:
- Our Planet in Context
- The Earth as a System: Biogeochemical Cycles
- The Importance of Ecosystems
- Sustainability as an Integrating Concept: STEM Application
Unit 2: The Importance of Biodiversity
Essential Question
Why is biodiversity an important feature of healthy, vibrant ecosystems?
The Big Idea
Just like cities full of people, businesses, and transportation networks, ecosystems depend on life-supporting cycles of energy and nutrients. Similarly, cities and ecosystems both depend on diversity: a wide range of services, occupations, and infrastructure in cities; and a range of species, biological "jobs," and ecological services in ecosystems. This unit explores the biocentric viewpoint of sustainability, which values biodiversity as a primary measure of ecosystem health. Currently, human activity is decreasing global biodiversity by driving the extinction of many species. An understanding of biodiversity, threats to biodiversity, and tools for protecting biodiversity is essential to creating sustainability that is successfully aligned with natural systems.
Topics Covered:
- Where Does Life Exist? Defining the Earth's Biosphere
- Biodiversity as Nature's Risk Management Tool
- The Benefits of Biodiversity to Humans
- The Biodiversity Crisis: Tropical Forests and Oceans
- Biodiversity Threats and Protection Strategies
Unit 3: Sustainable Development: The Social Challenges
Essential Question
How does society and governance contribute to sustainability and what are the essential elements of quality of life for people?
The Big Idea
Moving from the environmental perspective, the second pillar of sustainability is social equity: sharing the benefits of economic growth within and between nations and providing opportunities for all people to live productive lives. This goal is equivalent to sustainable development, which aims to meet humanity's present needs while not jeopardizing the ability of future generations to meet their needs. Severe global inequities in income, education, and access to healthcare and resources are primary challenges that we must overcome in order to create a sustainable world. Additionally, inequality needs to be understood in the context of overall global population and economic growth. Finally, the challenge of sustainable development is not solely the role of governments, but rather the responsibility of all global citizens.
Topics Covered:
- What is sustainable development?
- Global inequities in all dimensions of sustainability
- Population growth, energy use, and sustainable development
- Health and sustainability
- Sustainability, society, and social change
Unit 4: The Economics of Sustainability
Essential Question
How are traditional economic systems limited to encouraging sustainability on global, regional and local scales?
The Big Idea
Understanding economics is integral to understanding sustainability. The prefix eco, derived from the ancient Greek word for "house," is the base of the words "economics" and "ecology." Both disciplines study the behavior of systems and relationships between parts of systems. However, the current global economic system operates in ways that discount ecological relationships or health, and it is marked by several unsustainable trends. By prioritizing monetary returns on investments over all other measures of well-being, our system makes economic growth obligatory even when it is unsustainable. Although economic growth provides benefits to society, unsustainable growth is linked to inequality, natural resource depletion, and pollution. Current market incentives are reinforcing these trends, and there is little pressure from the global economic system to decrease economic inequality, make economic growth more sustainable, or rein in resource depletion and pollution. However, progressive approaches such as the economic valuation of nature offer hope that the global economic system can become truly sustainable.
Topics Covered:
- Dominant global economic trends: economic growth
- Market failures and externalities
- Tragedy of the commons and the free rider problem
- Ecological economics
- Placing a value on nature
- Creating a sustainable economic system
Unit 5: Government and Sustainability
Essential Question
What are the roles of governments in addressing sustainability market failures?
The Big Idea
Individuals, organizations, and businesses have essential roles to play in the transition to sustainability. However, the scale of challenges such as climate change, water scarcity, global biodiversity loss, and widespread economic inequality is so large that it is necessary for governments to play a leading role. In addition, as outlined in Unit 7, the current configuration of the global economic system is in many ways fundamentally unsustainable. For these reasons, most sustainability advocates look to governments in order to promote environmental health and social equality. Governments have successfully addressed some environmental concerns such as acid rain and ozone depletion, yet they have been much less successful at promoting a comprehensive sustainability agenda. This unit takes a look at the various roles of government, and considers their challenges, effectiveness, and how our evolving understanding of sustainability is driving substantial changes to governmental approaches.
Topics Covered:
- Successes and Challenges of Regulations
- Policy Successes and Challenges
- Pollution Markets: Cap and Trade
- Political Constraints on Government Action: Climate Change
- The Problems of Enforcement
- Case Study: Chesapeake Bay Watershed
Unit 6: New Technology and Innovative Sustainability Approaches
Essential Question
What new technologies are being developed to address sustainability issues and why is important that consumers embrace demand for them?
The Big Idea
Technological innovation is a vital part of sustainability. While no single technology is a "silver bullet" that will transform the way humans live on the planet, a range of innovations in design, energy, transportation, water use, and buildings are making significant improvements. It will take the positive actions of all people, creatively using appropriate technology over an extended period, to achieve sustainable societies. Many sustainable technological solutions are available now, but resistance to change short-sighted approaches to problem-solving often stand in the way. Looking at technology from within an integrated sustainability framework allows innovations to have long-lasting impact.
Topics covered:
- Nature as a role model – biomimicry
- The future of energy
- Sustainable transportation
- Innovations in water Systems
- Green building
- Green jobs and the green economy
Unit 7: Toward a Sustainable Future
Essential Question
What important cultural and fundamental shifts must continue happening in businesses, governments, media, and societies in order to fully promote and implement sustainability?
The Big Idea
The primary goal of sustainability is to transform our economy from a system that is based on waste and destruction to a system that aligns with the ecological balance of our planet. This is no small task, as it means overturning entrenched business and political practices that value short term profit and growth over sustainability. Despite this enormous challenge, there are some encouraging developments underway which point to an emerging sustainable society and economy.
Topics Covered:
- Sustainable design and sustainable cities
- Consumer choice and demand for sustainability
- Business sustainability initiatives and corporate social responsibility
- Organizations and new social media promoting sustainability around the world
- An emerging sustainability mindset

Kelly MonacoActor / Dancer
Born: 23 May 1976
Birthplace: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Best known as: Winner of the TV competition Dancing With the Stars
Kelly Monaco's big win on the 2005 "reality" series Dancing With the Stars made her a household name in much of America. 5'1", brunette and curvy, Monaco posed for Playboy magazine in April of 1997, then landed a small recurring role in the series Baywatch (1997-98). Her next stop was soap operas: she appeared on Port Charles from 1999-2003, then moved to General Hospital in 2003, where she played the rebellious Samantha "Sam" McCall. Dancing With the Stars featured celebrities like model Rachel Hunter and boxer Evander Holyfield paired with professional partners in a seies of ballroom dance competitions. The show was the surprise hit of summer 2005, and Monaco and her partner Alec Mazo won the competition after a final dance-off with actor John O'Hurley (who played J. Peterman on the show Seinfeld) and his partner Charlotte Jorgensen.

Berkshire County may not be the first place one would expect a wide-ranging celebration of African-American heritage–its black population is only three percent, a little more than a third of that of the commonwealth as a whole. But a summer-long festival is throwing light on the region's history.
In Great Barrington, a musical duo brings a Civil War echo to one of the kickoff events of the Lift Ev'ry Voice festival.
Magpie is set up under a tent behind the the W.E.B. Du Bois Center, named for perhaps the most prominent African American leader with ties to the Berkshires.
From now until August, a range of venues will celebrate African American history and culture, from performances by the Dance Theatre of Harlem at Jacob's Pillow to a poetry workshop for teens in Pittsfield.
While the festival throws light on specific historical figures and events, it is broad-reaching by design, says festival co-chair Shirley Edgerton
"Just focusing on the African American community encourages other communities to come forth and experience the richness of their culture and to share it with others."
Dubois Center founder Randy Weinstein says he aims to celebrate this year's one hundred fiftieth anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation, while also drawing connections to forms of modern-day oppression.
"Sure, it's cultural to a degree, sure it's artsy to a degree, but at its core we're talking about the history of ending slavery. And I think that's pretty bold."
The festival, the second since 2011, is named for the song "Lift Ev' ry Voice and Sing," often called the African American national anthem, written by Great Barrington resident James Weldon Johnson in 1899.
Don Quinn Kelly, another festival co-chair, says the Lift Ev'ry Voice festival at its core is about freedom in American for all.
"The people can come and just celebrate each other, and not have to deal with anything other than: we're here as a community, enjoy each other."

Customer Reviews
Bought my first one yrs ago,,,tried and true. Not the cheapest, but truly worth the expense, our moms were right when they said buy cheap-get cheap. Mine lasted for years.
Love the fact your in control of vibrations (or your partner is) control is in opposite hand of vibrator. Low and slow or like a rocket man ( when needed :). )
They sent it out quickly, and came 2 cute sample products.
Save your pennies,,,
My aunt got me a gift certificate in my 20s.bought the rabbit and I loved it. Also it lasted five years!
I bought this based on the reviews, and I'm very disappointed. It's clunky, loud, and didn't do much of anything for me. It was also very expensive. I threw it out, and chalked it up to a learning experience.
I will be much more careful with my money next time around.
This is my second vibrator I've ever owned, and decided to purchase it base on its excellent reviews. I've used it three times and it feels awkward. I like the rabbit part of the vibrator better than the longer part. The shaft rotation doesn't work well with the way that I'm using it. Maybe I need more practice to learn to be comfortable. I derived more pleasure from my other waterproof vibrator and about 40 dollars cheaper. It takes six batteries as well!
This product is amazing! As soon as my Rabbit Pearl arrived I had to give her a try. I've since named her Pinkie and I find my mind wandering to Pinkie several times a week.... very nice. I really like the adjustable speeds and the soft material that it's made out of. I can use alone or incorporate her into romantic times with my man. You will not regret buying the Rabbit Pearl!
I bought this toy a couple of weeks ago and WOW. I have never had a vibrator before and my friend told me to get a Rabbit. She said she swears by it and I kind of laughed her off. um well I swear by it!
This is probably my second favorite toy I own. I have another rabbit style vibrator that I don't like as well because the clitoral stimulator is too powerful. This one is powerful, but not TOO powerful. This toy always does the trick.
The bunny ears work when no other vibrator will do. Also, I LOVE a penis inside me. A vibrator without that is MISSING SOMETHING! I'm buying one for a friend whose husband died.
Just got my new Rabbit, I love it! Best vibrator I have ever owned, easy to use and so cute!
My boyfriend bought me this after I told him the only vibrator I had was a wee, wimpy bullet. I definitely get off on internal stimulation, and this toy does the trick. I didn't think it could live up to the price (yeah, I'm a cheapskate) but it does. It really does!

The operator of New England's power grid is asking consumers to voluntarily conserve electricity during this week's heat wave. I-S-O New England says the request comes as a precaution with electric demand expected to reach near-record levels later this week.
During each afternoon this week, demand for electricity is expected to be more than 27-thousand megawatts , not quite breaking the record set in 2006. Just one megawatt is enough power for a thousand homes. Marcia Blomberg, a spokesperson for ISO New England, says consumers should not panic about a shortage of electricity.
"This is a prudent, precautionary measure to help keep supply and demand in balance during the heat wave. This doesn't mean the supply of electricity is running short of the amount we need to meet demand at this time."
Blomberg says during peak usage times, electric customers can help conserve energy by running air conditioners at higher temperatures, if health permits. They should also use electric appliances late at night or early in the morning and turn off lights when not needed. Blomberg says should power supplies run short, ISO has steps in place to meet increased demand.
"We can call on companies that have agreed to reduce their electricity consumption when we ask. Those are called demand response resources. We can ask neighboring regions to send us some power and we can step up our conservation requests if need be."

Blue Flag Root (Iris versicolor)Latin Name: Iris versicolor
Common Names: Blue Flag Root
Blue Flag Root comes from a wildflower (actually a species of iris) known to the scientific community as Iris versicolor. This attractive flowering herb is native to the sedge meadows, marshlands and riverbanks of North America, and is an official symbol of the Canadian province of Quebec.
Iris versicolor is indeed a natural herb in the technical sense: it has no woody stem, grows above ground and dies back at the end of each growing season. However, the useful part is the blue flag root.
It is thought to have stimulating effects on the lymphatic system, helping the body to rid itself of toxins, and may be useful for its laxative and diuretic properties as well.
As one of the top bulk herb suppliers in the U.S., Starwest Botanicals is pleased to offer quality bulk herbs that promote sustainable agriculture and environmental practices, cut waste by eliminating unnecessary packaging and save our customers money. We would be remiss however if we failed to point out that simply because a product is an organic herb or root does not mean it shouldn't be used with caution. Even all-natural herbs can have side effects and interactions; dried herbs like the Blue Flag Root taken from the Iris versicolor may produce allergic reaction in some individuals; it should be avoided by pregnant or lactating women as well as children.
Starwest Botanicals recommends that any organic, natural herbal product be used under the guidance of a licensed naturopath or herbalist. We will gladly answer questions you may have regarding our product offerings.
Warning: Not to be used during pregnancy. May cause nausea and vomiting.

This study examines a setting in which a tax reporting decision is delegated to a firm's tax manager. Using financial accounting measures of tax expense to evaluate the tax manager allows the fi rm to efficiently attain the level of tax avoidance it prefers, despite the fact that the consequences of the tax reporting decision will occur in the future. The study also examines how well two accounting measures of tax aggressiveness -- cash taxes paid and the unrecognized tax bene fit -- distinguish between conservative and aggressive fi rms.

It is thrown, and wood fired. Smooth white stoneware body. 8.5 cm dia and 7 cm h. Weight 160 grams. This piece I do not have the kiln firing record for, but I think it was the summer 2010 firing. Glaze both interior and out is American Shino but it is fired mainly in oxidation, so I am thinking from chamber 4 which is where I do that mostly (for oribe glazes mainly). It has substantial flyash over the shino glaze and some nice flashing on the exposed clay foot.
Winner TBD and announced later!!!

The Emery High School golf team and Millsite Golf Course hosted the five Region 8 golf teams in the second region meet of the year last Thursday.
The Emery team finished with a team score of 375, which put them in fourth place for the day. The North Sanpete Hawks were 13 strokes behind the Spartans. Juan Diego finished the day with the top score followed by Delta and Carbon.
Kyler Edgehouse led the Spartans with an 84. Matt Sjogren was second with a 94 followed by Jason Giles with a 96. Mark Guymon and Leo Sarber tied for the last scoring spot with a 101.
In high school golf, six golfers tee off for the meet with the top four scores being recorded.
The year started a week ago with a tournament in Logan at the site of the State tournament. The region results were basically the same. This is Millsite's only hosting for this season.
This week the team is at South Mountain in Draper, the home course of Juan Diego.
Kevin Reynolds and Alan White coach the golf team this year with help from the golf pro at Millsite Jordan Leonard.

St. Paul's First Letter to the Corinthians 11:31-34; 12:1-6
Prokeimenon. Mode 4.
Psalm 103.4,1
Who makes his angels spirits and his ministers a flame of fire
Verse: Bless the Lord, O my soul. O Lord my God you are very great.
BRETHREN, if we judged ourselves truly, we should not be judged. But when we are judged by the Lord, we are chastened so that we may not be condemned along with the world. So then, my brethren, when you come together to eat, wait for another - if any one is hungry, let him eat at home - lest you come together to be condemned. About the other things I will give directions when I come. Now concerning the spiritual gifts, brethren, I do not want you to be uninformed. You know that when you were heathen, you were led astray to dumb idols, however you may have been moved. Therefore I want you to understand that no one speaking by the Spirit of God ever says "Jesus be cursed!" and no one can say "Jesus is Lord" except by the Holy Spirit. Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same spirit; and there are varieties of service, but the same Lord; and there are varieties of working, but it is the same God who inspires them all in every one.
