text: Launching the new public summer awareness campaign, "4 Million Guardians", MAF Director General Wayne McNee tonight took the opportunity to congratulate the Ministry's Compliance and Response team and the developers on their award-winning mobile fishing rules application. "Finding the fishing rules for your area is now just a text or smartphone application away with our two new mobile services," Mr McNee said. "Their potential was tonight recognised at the prestigious FutureGov awards in Malaysia, and at MAF and elsewhere the possibilities for adaptation seem limitless." The new services, which are free, deliver important fishing rules information such as catch limits or fish size limits to mobile phones 24 hours a day. Mr McNee said it's often when people are already out fishing that they find they need to know the relevant rules. "They may not have our fishing handbook on them, so they can now access the most current information for the geographical area by phone no matter where they are around New Zealand. "The fishing rules app is one of the government sector's first uses of smartphone technology to deliver information in a convenient way to consumers. It is certain to have great potential in other areas like border control and biosecurity." The second new service enables those with standard mobile phones to text the species they're fishing for to 9889. They receive a return text detailing the relevant rules for that species. There are no charges for texts. MAF is still providing a phone-in service for fishing information which can be accessed by calling 0800 4 POACHER (0800 476 224). The former 0800 4 RULES number has been discontinued. Mr McNee said MAF was making available the full suite of rules information in time for the busy summer fishing season. "Once the Rugby World Cup is over, many of our 4 Million Guardians will be out enjoying the excellent fishing opportunities throughout the country. "You won't have any reason not to know the rules. Find them out yourself and tell your children and whanau. Fishery Officers will be out and about throughout the summer but they can't do it all on their own."

Diabetes + Smoking = Trouble
Medical Author: Ruchi
Mathur, MD

I can summarize this little article in one quick sentence: Smoking is bad. In the general population, and particularly in patients with diabetes...Smoking is bad.
Cigarette smoking is the leading cause if avoidable death in the United States, and accounts for almost 500,000 deaths a year. Smoking plays a role in one out of every five deaths in the United States per year. Smoking is indeed bad.
Where the health of diabetic smokers is concerned, the statistics are even worse. There is an increased risk of premature death and the development of heart disease in patients who have diabetes and continue to smoke. There is also evidence that links cigarette smoking with microvascular disease (kidney and eye damage) in diabetes. Additionally, there is data that shows that smoking may actually play a role in the development of type 2 diabetes. Smoking is bad.

Happy Hour | Shaken, not stirred: The Martini (LIN Media/Twinkle VanWinkle)
Happy Hour | Shaken, not stirred: The Martini (LIN Media/Twinkle VanWinkle)
Updated: Tuesday, 02 Apr 2013, 2:23 PM CDT
Published : Friday, 01 Mar 2013, 9:49 AM CST
Try not to confuse the multitude of drinks ending in "tini" with the true, honest-to-goodness cocktail. The martini is simple, classic and any true lover will scoff at the notion of vodka as an ingredient.
More Recipes: 2013 Cocktail Guide
This definitive cocktail has many histories, from the gold rush to a British rifle to the streets of New York, and all leading up to the version we know today. One thing any expert will all agree on, only three ingredients need be used – gin, vermouth and one single olive.
However, to make this the best, you'll want a glass straight from the freezer, and you'll want to mix the cocktail with lots of ice before straining. You know, shaken, not stirred.
Perfect Martini recipe
"The only American invention as perfect as the sonnet." – H.L. Mencken
Pour your gin and vermouth into a shaker filled with ice.
Shake furiously for about 30 seconds.
Strain into your glass. Make sure you don't pull it out of the freezer until this point.
Garnish with an olive and a swirl of lemon peel.
Pro-tip: Slice your lemon peel thinly, making sure not get any of the bitter pith underneath. You'll want it to be a little longer than the height of the glass. Twirl the peel around a stirrer or straw and gently add to your cocktail. The peel leaves a slight bit of citrus oil on the top of the drink, adding to the depth of this cocktail's flavors.

Yesterday, April 27th I flew from Bradley Airport (Connecticut) to Washington Dulles on United Airlines' TED. My flight left Connecticut at 10:35AM arriving in Washington Dulles approximately 11:40AM. I then boarded a TED flight from Washington Dulles Airport to my final destination Tampa Florida. Whilst I was onboard the Bradley Airport to Washington Dulles the stewardesses came around with their usual beverage service. I requested a cranberry juice and was given an entire can of juice along with a glass. This stewardess was quite accomodating and passenger friendly. My problems began on the second and last 'leg' of my flight with United's TED. The first incident came about when the stewardesses again came around with their beverage service. I again requested cranberry juice. I was given a glass of cranberry juice; and when I requested the entire can (as I did NOT have to do on the first 'leg' of my journey); the stewardess told me under no uncertain circumstances quote, It is TED's policy not to give passengers the full can; because giving just a glass of the requested juice order helps keep TEDS' costs down unquote. My reply was then why does this policy differ from one flight to another? And the stewardess reply was, quote, the stewardesses on my first 'leg' made a mistake unquote... Naturally, as a paying customer I did not appreciate this reply. In giving credit to the 2nd stewardess she did offer a second glass of juice. However, to me this is illogical! If she would have given me as much of the juice (in glasses) that I would have wanted; then why not just give me the can? To my way of thinking, there would be no difference with the exception of pleasing the consumer! The second incident was even more insulting! I had to visit the restrooms at the back of the plane. The stewardesses were just finishing up their beverage service and were at the very end of the back of the aisle when I asked them to please excuse me, I needed to use the restroom. It wasn't as though they were in the middle of the aisle or just beginning their beverage service. They were ending their beverage service and were two inches from moving their cart just a wee bit to accommodate a customer who needed to use the restroom. One of the stewardesses informed me to wait a minute! Then when I spoke to another passenger in passing and remarked, quote, service with a smile, unquote being somewhat factious, the stewardesses turned to me and said in a very sarcastic tone of voice, quote, I'm sorry you had to wait a minute, but I'm doing my job and if I weren't here to do my job, naturally directed at me, the consumer, I would not be here flying at all unquote. Being a retired business woman, I sincerely believe if I, the customer, were NOT on board and flying United's TED this stewardess would NOT have a job!! However, I replied to her rude remark with quote, believe me I do NOT want to argue with you, unquote. The behavior of United TED's employees, I found on my flight from Washington Dulles to Tampa were unprofessional, NOT customer oriented not to mention very poor representatives of United Airlines! I sincerely believe that United Airlines' stewards and stewardesses alike should be given many hours of training in consumer service!! And just how to treat the customer who puts food in their stomachs, roofs over their heads, and the clothes they buy on their backs!! If it weren't for your customers UNITED your employees would surely have to look elsewhere for jobs and in my opinion more than a few that are employed with UNITED would most likely be very lost in finding another customer oriented career! Jessica
So, you asked for cranberry juice and got it. And instead of a "fullcan" you were offered a second glass. I'm afraid I don't see what your problem could be here, well, actuallyI do, but it's not with the airlines.
Jessica, there are neat little symbols on your keyboard that make itunnecessary to keep typing quote & unquote. Ready? Here they are: " Want to see them again? " You're welcome. ;)
I wish my life were so fun that I could complain about these things.Unfortunately, I have quote bigger fish to fry unquote than a can ofcranberry juice. PS, the quote, unquote thing drove me batty. I would like an apology.Now would be nice...
Was the plane you got a full can on completely full of passengers? Why, you may ask, because my son (who was 6 at the time.) asked aboutthe whole can, cup thing thing while on the final leg of our flight onBritish Airways, (we flew from Frankfort, Germany, to London, England,and then onto the US) on the DE to UK flight he got a full can ofjuice and then on the UK to US only got a cup and he respectfullywaited until they were done serving (we were in the next the last rowof seats) and asked. He was asked if he could see any empty seats on the plane that took usto the UK, he said, "yes, a lot" and the FLIGHT ATTENDANT told himthat sometimes on flights with many empty seats they would give theperson a can as an extra gift, but when the plane had more people onthem that they had a certain amount that they could give out so thatpeople sitting in the seats where we were would be able to get thesame amount if we wanted. My 6 year old understood. Why can't the OP? (or others whom seem tothink that if something is given one time it must be given all of thetime.)
the only thing i can say beyond what others have said is, are youliving the 1950's? They haven't been called stewardresses sinceforever. The correct term is flight attendant.
I work in retail and have worked with the public for 13 years. I'vealways been a stickler for the rules and when given the rules I followthem. This becomes a problem when other employees don't follow therules. Then I look like the bad guy for doing my job. Yes they aresilly rules sometimes to an outsider but I assure you they are inplace for a reason.
You purchased a ticket to safely fly from one location to another. Itappears from your letter the airline fulfilled its obligation. Abeverage is an added bonus which is a courtesy, not something theairline owes you.
Okay! Pop quiz everybody! Which is better customer service: A. Giving the passengers a glass of cranberry juice and landing theplane safely, or B. Giving the passengers the entire can of cranberry juice, andnosediving the plane into a mountain? I think I know which answer most people will choose. If not gettingthe entire can of cranberry juice is the worst thing that ever happensto you on a plane, then consider yourself lucky.
Quote, you are obnoxious, unquote.
By any chance was this dictated onto a tape and meant to be typed fromit?
I understand that air travel these days is truly stressful foreveryone Period Honestly Comma to complain over a cup versus can Commaand a reactive remark from a persnickity Open Paretnthesis sp PeriodQuestion Mark Period Close Parenthesis passenger who just had toQuote go there End Quote Period with the snide remark within earshotof the Flight Attendant Period Seems a wee bit over the top Period
They don't call them stewardesses any longer. They are called flightattendants because like oh, I don't know.....about 30+ years ago theylet boys do the same job and they didn't think calling them astewardess would attract enough boys into the job. Or something likethat. And.....in this day and age, you're lucky you got anything on theflight that they didn't charge you extra for. Things will vary fromone flight to another. And with EVERYONE flying these days, it'sreally a thankless job, so being unfriendly is really more the normnow than ever and although not usually acceptable, it's just the wayit is. It's a really sh*%^&*&(ty job to say the least. But......ifthe plane is in any type of danger, then you'll be glad they're there. They are mostly trained for safety and to evacuate a plane. Pushinga cart around and handing out treats is just a small thing they do inbetween. If you're bugged by it, stop flying United. They are notoriously theworst Airline out there. They were great, oh like 25 yearsago.....but no longer. When you fly it's like taking a bus. Sometimes the driver and passengers are nice. Sometimes they're not. It's just the way the world is today. You're gonna have to deal withit. Try taking your own beverage next time. Oops.....I'm sorry, theywon't let you do that any longer. Try a flast. That might work.
They'll give you the whole can. Jeez. Then you'll really have to usethe restroom.
Just a few facts about pouring a glassful vs. giving the can.. 1. It elimnates waste... throwing out cans that aren't empty. 2. It enhances customer service because the flight attendants arevisible and available offering seconds. 3. The more cans that they have to board, the more weight. The moreweight, the more fuel used. The more fuel used, the higher the ticketprice. I think you get the idea.
United's Flight Attendants are not the only ones that need lessons incustomer service. Everyone that works at United is in need oftraining. Because of United I was stranded at Dulles only to be calleda lier and to have to listen to the customer service people complainthat I was cutting into their partying time. When I asked for asupervisor I was told the supervisor did not want to talk to me. After working my way up the food chain I finally got someone thatadmitted I was right and was given a room for the night. The next dayI was told by a United employee that they really didn't care if I everflew on their airline again. So I am going to do what they suggestedand not fly with them.
Jessica-While I do agree your sarcasm was unwarranted and even rude, Ido agree with you that it cannot possibly be too much of a cost issueto receive an entire can of juice. I fly regularly (coinseidently alsoout of Dulles as I live here in Virginia)and I have to say I tooexpect at the very least a can of soda when I pay over $100 per wayfor a flight. I do not think you were being unreasonable in yourrequest. Furthermore, if you received the entire can in error on theprevious flight, I say that is their fault and they should accomodateyou for the duration of your flight as you were on the same airlinecarrier. Again, a can of juice will not equate to a bankruptcy. Now, Ithink you could have waited another minute to have access to therestroom and your comments were out of line. I hope next time you're alittle more patient with the crew.
Next time just say, "no ice please" and you will get the entire can.Funny it works that way, but it does.
If it weren't for the employees you would surely have a long drive andhave to spend a lot of money in gas. Customer service does not mean that you get anything you want. Thefirst person probably was wrong giving the entire can. If you haveever worked in your life, you know when one employee breaks policy tohelp a customer, the next employee that customer deals with isscrewed. If they give the customer the same thing they get in troublewith the company and if they don't the customer acts like Jennifer. Based on your your own letter the stewardess is so unemployable sheprobably chose to follow company policy to keep her job over making astranger happy over a trivial thing. You'll agree she chose right.
They do make this little symbol on your keypad that looks like this: "so that you don't have to keep typing "quote"/"unquote."
In other words, when the stewardesses, is helping you you wantprofessional service such as getting the whole can of cranberry juice,yet when the stewardesses is serving another customer you expect herto act in an unprofessional way and stop serving the customer so thatyou can use the washroom. Atleast she apologised to you for makingyou wait. That is professional. However the customer she was helpingwhile you wanted to use the washroom was also a paying customer. Shehad as much right to professional service as you do. One more thing, next time you want to quote something you should use 'or ". It will make the letter look more professional than justputting quote and unquote.
What a sense of entitlement! I am so sick of reading letters that arewritten by people who feel that they are better than those people whoare serving them. So what, you single handedly put food in the flightattendant's stomach, give her a roof over her head and clothes towear? The fact that she was most likely following the rules handed down toher in order to "cut costs" actually makes me quite happy. Maybe nexttime I go to look for a flight, prices won't have gone up because of asimple tweek in the way they do things. There have been plenty oftimes I've found myself having to chug my diet coke on shorter flightsin order to finish it. Maybe the airlines way of thinking is that ifthey refill glasses rather than hand out full cans, there won't be somuch wasted drink. Makes sense to me. You don't see restaurantssetting out 2 litters of Pepsi, they fill your glass as it empties. As for the bathroom incident, if the tray was so close to the end ofthe aisle, why didn't you just wait until the flight attendants hadput the tray back in it's original location? It sure would have beeneasier to get by that way. That's what I've always done to ensurethat I'm not getting in anyone's way.
Like the others, I agree that you're nitpicking about things that haveno relevancy for a complaint Jessica.
I hope I never sit next to you on a flight.
Ha! Sounds like you got busted being snotty with another passenger,and weren't quite clever enough to remember to do it out of earshot ofthe person about whom you were being snotty. Have you ever tried to move one of those beverage carts? They areheavy and unwieldly. Would it have killed you to wait just a minute ortwo? Probably.
How many other customers got upset because they wanted more to drinkthan the policy was given to them? How many other customers decidedthat they couldn't possibly wait for the beverage cart to come back upthe aisle before going to the bathroom? How many other customers wentaround complaining to other people *in front of the flight attendants*about how unpleasant they (allegedly) were? I suspect that the TED flight attendants will not all be on theunemployment line if you go off to make ridiculous demands on anotherairline. I also suspect that they will not be all that torn up thattheir company has lost a customer who makes their jobs that much moredifficult. In fact, there is at least one person thinking, "Maybe TED is theairline for me! They don't seem to be encouraging disruptivepassengers to be even more disruptive" as often happens when serviceproviders get too caught up in the "the customer is always right"mindset. And as others have said, you probably want to drop the "stewardess"bit, for exactly the same reason that you wouldn't have been toothrilled if someone had come into your business, whatever it was, andsaid to you, "Hey, sweetie, go get me a coffee." Being respectful ofpeople whose difficult job you're busy making more difficult reallywon't kill ya.
First of all, to call a female flight attendant a "stewardess" isinsulting. Second, the term is not "unquote", it's "end quote". Third, your flight from Hartford to Washington was on a Unitedmainline, not a TED flight, so for all you know, the flight attendenton the TED flight was telling you the truth about policy. Chances areit wasn't what you wanted to hear, so you got angry. Fourth, there is a difference in volume in 2 cups of juice thatinclude ice and a full can of juice. Fifth, the FA'a were just fine in asking you to wait a minute to getto the lavatory. Have you ever had to move one of those beveragecarts? They can weigh up to 75 pounds. If it was just a matter of aminute, I'm sure you could have held it, unless you are a 2 year oldor are incontenent. Sixth, your comment to the other passenger within hearing distance ofthe FA's, who are there for safety reasons not to be a waiter in thesky, was wrong on your part. Of course they replied "sarcastically". I would have also. Receive as ye shall give. Seventh, as a retired business woman, you should know that whilewithout customers there is no business, there are just some customersthat cannot be pleased, no matter how hard you try. Personally,Jessica, you sound like one of those people, and I can tell you thatif you were a customer of my business, I have a feeling that I wouldhave to "fire" you as a customer, because you would take up more timethan you're worth financially.
First of all, they are Flight Attendants, not stewardesses. Secondly,I really think you are nitpicking. I've always gotten a glass ofjuice or soda and not the entire can. This is not just on TED butevery airline. There is only so much they can store on those shorthop planes and this allows them to make sure they have enough foreveryone. It was great you got it on your first flight but it's notthe norm. You instigated the second encounter with your service with a smileremark. Why couldn't you wait a minute? You already had yourbeverage but the passengers they were serving did not. If you wereone of those passengers, you'd be complaining that you had to wait. If this little encounter is the worst thing that happened to you whileflying, I suggest you count your blessings. Flying today is not apleasure but rather something to be endured. Flight delays,cancellations, rude employees seem to be the norm. One reason I canthink of is that everyone wants cheap fares but no one wants to put upwith the lack of service that comes with them.

Gov. Christie: Seaside Heights Opening 'An Incredible Day for New Jersey'
Gov. Christie appeared at Seaside Heights boardwalk Friday to promote the Jersey Shore
The Jersey Shore is officially open for summer, Gov. Chris Christie said as he spent Friday morning in Seaside Heights promoting tourism in New Jersey. Early Friday, Christie appeared on NBC's Today Show, which broadcast its morning news program live from Seaside Heights. The governor later cut a ceremonial ribbon — a Guinness World Record at over five miles long — to officially declare the shore open. "It's an incredible day for New Jersey," Christie said in remarks. "I'm so thrilled that this morning we're here with the whole country welcoming the Jersey Shore back." After being battered by Superstorm Sandy, many businesses on the boardwalk are open and welcoming customers, though others continue to make repairs. Despite some grey …

Falcons Owens could flourish under Mike Nolan

RE: Owens could flourish under Mike Nolan
Suffice to sat you don't place enough impact in coaches that are PAID to coach. And I'm pretty confident Nolan got a better contract than BVG did but I truly dont know.
Anywho on to your points. Change of scenery can do a lot of things for people. It's not just the DC, the scheme, the players around them, etc. It's also their personal lives, physical, mental. There are soooo many factors that could impact a players ability. Given that to consider the impact of a great DC as a very rare situation is exteenely false. The problembis you're just looking at scheme. I'm not sure how you know BVG is a great teacher and motivator so I can't confirm or deny his skillset in that aspect. But I do know that when Nolan was leaving Miami the players spoke up for him and the fans. When BVG left we didn't hear that. A great DC not only impacts the scheme, but your physical buolt, your mentality for your position, your will to fight and scrap. The 49ers went thru 2 head coaches with virtually the same team, Alex Smith went thru 7 or 8 OC and now finally he gets. Hmmmmm I wonder why....guess what? It was a coach. All he needed was a coach that knew how to get him playing the right way, an offensive minded coach with a QB's mind. Never ever underestimate the impact of a great coach that helps you click. All those things you mentioned about change of scenery can happen right here. Scheme, coach, players (Grimes, Hayden may be gone), position on depth chart may change with these new cpaches coming in and giving opinions. Lastly, BVG was decent, not successful by any means. Our whole team wasn't necessarily successful in terms of Super bowl. We made progress but if youre going strictly by stats and not the eye test, then I guess you believe our O-line was the 6th best in the NFL as well, since the stats say so. |

Owens is TENACIOUS he has TENACITY i like guys like that. plus he can hit pretty good, i like the idea of 4 secondary players that will light your ass up given the chance.

RE: Owens could flourish under Mike Nolan
ATLBound, I figured your next argument would be regarding how our defense will be a "change of scenery" similar to going to another team. Simply put, no it won't. The culture in the lockerroom will remain the same, it has been instilled in our players for four years now and Blank/TD/Smitty place very high emphasis on it. Mile Nolan himself said he would not be completely blowing up our defense but would focus on what our team does well. Owens didn't fit into that picture and still shouldn't.
No, I am not discounting what a good coach can do. What I am discounting is your insistence that our old coach sucked and that Owens is good. I disagree with both, have succinctly supported my position, and see nothing in your argument to change my opinion. I am not buying all these people coming in here and saying Owens can be a great DB based on him breaking up a couple passes and making a couple ST plays in the last few games of the season. I am afraid that all of yall are forgetting just how many terrible plays, blown coverages, and TDs Owens has given up throughout his career here. Is everyone also forgetting that Owens has been benched more than once or that we signed a FA specifically to replace him? I see no reason, based solely on a couple good plays very late in the season, to change my opinion of this guy. |

I don't think Owens can be great, but I believe he can be good and under the right coaching and scheme be put in the position to do his job right and well. Be one of the smaller cogs that helps the bigger cogs by not jamming up and breaking teeth. Some guys aren't meant to be standouts, but they can be recognised as quality producers. I look at HD as this type of guy. He is once again a quality producer. However he could be a great slot receiver for us if allowed to. |

RE: Owens could flourish under Mike Nolan
When did anybody supporting the idea of keeping Owens mention great? When did I say that BVG sucked.
I specifically stated NB (nickelback) for Owens. I specifically stated that he could be serviceable. I said BVG was decent and I never said sucked....ever. So I'm not sure where you're getting this from. Many of the supporters stated there were a few games at the end of the season where he showed progress. This does not mean great or good or even decent. It means he showed progress in his 3rd year. There was an article talking about Grimes from PFW where the coaching staff eluded to the same exact thing about him and Franks. We're not just talking about ST or the Giants game. There were games befote that where progress was shown. Like I said before...agree to disagree because I can't make you see what you don't see. It's a shame how people expect you athletes to be perfect from the jump. Can't go thru any bumps and bruises or development at all. This guy had a bad year and a half and I thinl the fact that they came in some key moments made it worst then it was. That Packers game put him under the microscope and obviously some people can't get over it and blinded by it. But guess what we signed 2 FA to take the place of Grimes at one point (Foxworth and Williams) and look how he turned out. |

RE: Owens could flourish under Mike Nolan
Oh I forgot one little tidbit...Grimes was also benched multiple times. Let's talk about people forgetting things. We have an example of an overcomer in this same lockerroom that is so set that every player will become stagnant and never have progression.

Posted 9:53 am Thursday, December 13, 2012
Tyler welcomes newest resident at 12:12 p.m. on Dec. 12, '12
Some parents might recall their child's exact time of birth, but it's almost certain that Eric and Salena Rozell won't forget when their joy bundle was delivered Wednesday.
Their daughter, Lily Scarlet, arrived at 12:12 p.m. on 12-12-12.
Lily was delivered via Caesarean section at East Texas Medical Center Wednesday by doctors Nahille Natour and Sherilyn Willis.
A beaming Mrs. Rozell said that because she was at 39 weeks pregnant, the birth would happen this week.
"They told us we could pick, and we looked at the calendar and thought, 'How can we not pick 12-12-12?" she said.
However, the Rozells didn't think about the new addition to their family of four being born at 12:12 p.m.
"We got here this morning, and they got me into the operating room and started at 12:03. Dr. Natour said it would be cool if she was born at 12:12, but she doubted it," she said.
But the idea got the doctors and nurses thinking, and they all acted quickly.
"They were bound and determined and Lily was born with 20 seconds left before the time was 12:13," she said.
Rozell, a Tyler firefighter and paramedic, was ecstatic over his daughter's birth, and some of his fellow firefighters showed up to hold Lily.
Lily's older siblings, Haleigh and Grayson, also were on hand to welcome their sister, who yawned and stretched, into the world.
Haleigh said she had been waiting eagerly for Lily's arrival and was glad she was finally here.
"I think it's cool that she was born on 12-12-12," the 7-year-old said.
ETMC Tyler spokesperson Rebecca Berkley said two other babies were born on 12-12-12, but the Rozells' baby was the only one at 12:12 p.m. in Tyler.
But just down the road in Jacksonville, another baby girl hit the mark with a perfect 12:12 p.m. 12-12-12 arrival.
Judy Martin, Jacksonville Dr. Charles Burk's office manager, said her doctor delivered a girl via caesarean delivery at the same time.
"He is a real numbers kind of guy and we try every year to induce one to hit at the right time. It doesn't happen very often, but we give it a shot," she said.
Ms. Martin said that in 2009, they had a baby born at 9:09 a.m. on 9-9-09.
The parents of the child born Wednesday did not want to be identified or photographed.
"Both the little girl and mom are doing really well," Ms. Martin said.

Smoke detectors may be required in Boy Scouts camp tents
Camping may never be the same.
A Michigan lawmaker is incensed that the Michigan Department of Human Services is requiring smoke detectors in the camp tents of the Boy Scouts.
Rep. Ken Goike, a Republican from Macomb County's Ray Township, says the DHA has told the Michigan Crossroads Council of the Boy Scouts that summer camp tents will be required to have smoke detectors.
He said he found out about the requirement on the floor of the Michigan House Tuesday.
Goike wants that requirement rescinded.
"It's unbelievable that the state would issue such an impractical edict, especially with all the serious challenges we currently face in Michigan with our economy and roads," Goike said.
Goike said the requirement is pointless, costly and "defies common sense."
"Implementation of this new requirement will cost thousands of dollars, not to mention the impracticality of having a smoke detector at a campsite where bonfires are commonplace," Goike said. "We need to work with the governor's office to address this regulation, as we have many other times."
Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder has made it a priority to reduce government regulations, sometimes poking fun at some of them, such as a regulation about how often barber shop wastebaskets have to be emptied.
The Michigan Crossroads Council, which oversees scouting in the Lower Peninsula, plans to meet with the DHS Friday, says Frank Reigelman, director of outdoor adventures. Continued...
Reigelman said the majority of tents used in scouting are small two-person tents. He hopes to get an exemption from the administrative rule requiring smoke detectors for those tents.
"We're set to meet on Fiday to talk about the whole matter, which I believe is going to be resolved," he said. "What we would like to see is an exemption for our standard two-person tents we use throughout our camps.
"There's no other regulation like this that we've been able find around the nation."
It didn't come to our attention until last summer.
Reigelman said the scouts didn't become aware of the rule until last summer.
"It's not just the boy scouts, it's any licensed youth camp," he said.
The DHS says its an administrative rule dating back to May 2009.
"There is room for interpretation of this rule, and while we always adhere to the highest standard of safety in the licensing of Michigan summer camps, we also believe that common sense should prevail," said DHS spokesman David Akerly.
Akerly said the DHS had arranged a meeting with the Boy Scouts before Goike's release went out "and are certain that the results that come from that meeting will be to their satisfaction on this issue."
"Again, common sense will prevail, and kids will safely enjoy another great summer in our wonderful Michigan outdoors," Akerly said. Continued...
Lawmakers are prepared to introduce legislation if the smoke detector requirement isn't rescinded, Goike said.
Goike said he envisions an Eagle Scout being fined for not having a smoke detector.
"Coming from the private sector, it's ridiculous," he said.
Commenting on Facebook, Holly Willson from Pontiac, agreed with Goike.
"Nooooooo....what next?" she wrote. "Our own personal family tents as well? Will the DNR hire more Wardens to patrol the parks and campgrounds looking for violators?
"Think the state has more pressing issues to deal with other than this."

"Another Great Book"
I love the Goldilocks Catering series. Although I'm used to Barbara Rosenblat's reading and totally enjoy the way she narrates, I love the way this book changes the sound so you know when someone's on the phone, on a microphone etc. This adds to the enjoyment of the story.
"Thorougly enjoyable!"
I've been thoroughly enjoying the Phryne Fisher stories. The history of 1928 Australia is very interesting. Having Jewish grandparents, I particularly enjoyed this this book. And Stephanie Daniel did GREAT Jewish accents, nu?
"Not the Best"
I agree with a previous reviewer; the vampire stuff was rather silly. The story, however, was as good as expected - vampires not withstanding.
"Very fun book"
I'd never heard of these books before, but figured I'd give them a try. Totally enjoyable! Fun story line, and the reader is excellent. I love the accents. This is a great series if you're looking for light listening with a bit of excitement. And I find the description of 1932 England fascinating.
"Not too bad"
Like another reviewer I thought there was WAY too much Shaker history in the story. I mean, the history was interesting, but if I wanted to read a detailed history of the Shakers, I'd get a history book. It seems to me that without the history the book would have been too short, so the author may have added it to fill pages. The basic back story was interesting, but WAY too detailed!
"Thoroughly Enjoyed It."
I've been looking for a new cozy mystery series and stumbled on Death on Demand. I am up to book #8 and I'm thoroughly enjoying this series. The history of the South Carolina coupled with the mysteries make it very interesting.
"Pretty Good"
I chose this production of the book because of the reviews of other readers. I think Scott Brick did a very good job. I've listened to samples of some of the other readers some of them are abysmal.
"Where's The Next Book?"
My husband and I have listened to all the books in this series. The next book is out on paper. When's it coming out on Audible? Can't wait to find out what happens next!
"Not Great"
I downloaded this book because I wanted a nice cozy mystery. I should have followed the reviews and not gotten the book. The premise could have been good, but I found it very slow and boring. The narrator's "British" accent started out sounding Scottish and then wavered back and forth. Between the distracting narration and the slow story, I probably won't even finish the book. It's not even keeping my interest enough for me to care whodunit.
"Totally Enjoyed This Book!"
I got this book for my husband to listen to in the car on long trips and started out wondering how long I'd be able to stand listening to it. Now I'm totally engrossed in the series, probably more than he is. Great story, with just enough human interest to keep it real without going overboard on either the relationship stuff or the techical jargon. Great book!

As we enter 2013 hopefully all the political BS that is going on in Washington will end, but it seems that there is no common language. Hopefully we will find it in the near future. Wishing you a happy and healthy New Year!
I hear you on that one. It's all about individual responsibility. Until the paradigm changes in this Country were we all start to agree on understanding this, aspiring once again to instill this, we're going to be stuck in this cycle of mediocrity. Too bad most people don't see this hypocrisy.
Nice comment on the University of California gasses price caused the depression we are in article... glad someone has the bravery to point out the truth. It's time responsibility was taken where it should be.
I was born in LA. My mother was born in LA. My family and my wife's family live in so. Cal. I have moved to Orange County, but it won't matter now what state you live in. The Left will demand that "States rights" must be ignored for "the good of the country". DOMA is being actively ignored by the AG. Unconstitutional Executive orders are not being challenged by Congressman Bohner in court. I grieve for our once great country. The Bible teaches that despair is a sin. I Sin now, and I don't know how to stop.
I have done criminal tax work and find your knowledge refreshing here. Thanks

One other thought - I do firmly believe that innovation should be left to the private sector .. rather than spoon-fed by government. I also believe hydrogen is the eventual best solution for transportation. Solutions will arrive, but we're just a little too young for now. Thanks for listening, once again!

"Did I really just almost leave with a burpcloth slung across my shoulder AND one side of my nursing bra undone? Fuck."
"Okay, sartorial crises have been averted! On with the night!"
"Why are there so many teenagers at this Saturday night showing of a superhero mov--oh."
"Okay, Metalia, these are teenagers. They are TEN TO FIFTEEN YEARS YOUNGER THAN YOU. Do not fear them!"
"Is that 14-year-old boy really wearing that inappropriate t-shirt? [Please do not ask about the search terms used to find this tee online. Please.] Really? Okay, I now give myself permission to hate both him and whichever parent let him leave the house wearing it now."
"Hmm. Blue Raspberry Slushee or White Cherry Slushee? White Cherry."
"Wow. Standing in a line with loud teenage boys certainly is enlightening, in the sense that I want to lock up my daughter until she is thirty-four."
"Ooh, they're letting us into the theater!"
"I know we're in

"Is my…? YES, my ass is asleep. How long is this movie? Okay, time to furtively check the ol' phone under the seat for info, and—OH MY GOD. Two-and-a-half hours? After 20 minutes of previews? Really? I'm wasting so much precious New Mom Sleeping Time! What have I done? Good Lord, WHAT HAVE I DONE?"
"When did Maggie Gyllenhaal start talking like Drew Barrymore? That ain't right."
"Okay, I shouldn't have whined. The movie was engaging, the characters were intriguing, and—oh, what's this? An extraneous subplot that has to be resolved? And it's going to tack on an extra half hour? Fabulous!"
"Yaaaay! It's over. I can't wait to get home and back into my yoga pants."

Business in brief
The new location combining the Toys 'R Us and Babies 'R Us brands will hold its grand opening Friday, Oct. 12 at 11801 W. Broad St. Giveaways, discounts, kid-friendly activities and visits from popular costumed characters will continue throughout the weekend, Oct. 12-14. In conjunction with the grand opening, the Toys 'R Us Children's Fund has awarded a $10,000 grant to Make-A-Wish Greater Virginia to support wish fulfillment in Richmond-area communities. *** The Virginia Water Well Association (VWWA) recently donated a new water well to the ACE (Another Chance to Excel) Program. When ACE approached Curtis Drilling about the cost of a well for ACE's Urban Garden Program, owner Curtis Bordewyk decided to nominate ACE as the potential recipient of a new well gifted during the VWWA's Annual Training Day Event. The training day is designed to help the men and women engaged in the water well construction industry meet the challenges of the ever-changing technology used in well construction. On Sept. 28, at the Creighton Road campus of St. Paul's Baptist Church, 150 student drillers received instruction on well drilling and pump testing. VWWA then gifted the well, used in its demonstration, to ACE. The ACE Program is an organization that aids ex-offenders and disadvantaged youth with their transition back into the community. *** On Saturday, Oct. 6, participating Southern States locations will offer specially marked "pink" items for sale, with a portion of the proceeds going to Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Use the store locator at http://www.southerstates.com to find a participating location. |

A community 'Kaffeehaus' in Henrico's Far West End
Born and raised in good old Europe, I am quite familiar with the traditional Austro-Hungarian tradition of the Kaffeehaus, an institution that represents a lifestyle of relaxing and thinking in a familiar environment with coffee, pastry, news, good service, marble tables, subdued sounds like the click-clack of the coffee machine, mugs and plates, conversations among patrons and with staff and a bit of low volume Johann Strauss music.
And so it was a thrill to find a modern version of a Kaffeehaus right here in Henrico County: The Daily Grind, near Short Pump Town Center. > Read more.

inFamous: Second Son a PS4 launch title according to Sucker Punch resume
inFamous: Second Son will release during PS4′s Q4 2013 launch, according to a resume belonging to a rendering programmer at Sucker Punch. The information has been removed since coming to light, but Siliconera nabbed a screen grab before removal. Motion Capture work on Second Son was handled by Digital Domain, which is noted for its in-game cinematics and teaser trailers for Gears of War and The Darkness 2. A rep for the firm told PlayStation Lifestyle that no one on the dev team would have such information, which is probably why it was removed from the resume. At any rate, it will be coming to the system at some point. Get more through the link. Second Son was announced during the PS4 reveal last month.

May 20, 2010By Darla Martin Tucker The city of Riverside is embarking on its most detailed and ambitious economic development plan to date and La Sierra University will do what it can to support the effort, university President Randal Wisbey stated.The president made his remarks following a presentation by Riverside Mayor Ron Loveridge during a meeting on May 4 of La Sierra Universitys Foundation board. The mayor outlined Riversides latest development strategy titled Seizing Our Destiny, a project approved by the Riverside City Council in December. This plan, detailed in a 52-page booklet and available on the citys Web site, incorporates 11 different routes to achieving the citys goals, Loveridge said. At the center of this is the quest for quality of life, to be the location of choice for businesses and university students and faculty, he said. The city is creating a Web site for the project.This is a document that I think is going to put Riverside on the national map if it can keep focused on the different routes and initiatives, Loveridge said to the Foundation board of which he is also a member. Heres this initiative. We need your help. Its the single most important document weve seen in the city in 30 years here. Loveridge is also president of the National League of Cities, a Washington D.C.-based federal lobbying and legal advocacy organization that represents the interests of municipal governments around the United States.This latest economic development strategy for Californias 12th largest city involves 11 routes, or paths leading over the next 10 or 20 years toward the vision of Riverside as a close-knit, entrepreneurial community of innovation with a high quality of life. Those routes include attracting and growing certain types of companies, developing a skilled workforce, fostering education by showcasing student and faculty research, increasing k-12 achievements, strengthening local philanthropy and bolstering arts and entertainment through such venues as an artists colony, innovation museum and expanded convention center.These are things we need to be thinking about as a university, and find ways to support the citys plan, Wisbey said. He added that the university will present the plan to the various deans for their input on ways of helping fulfill the vision.Foundation board member Craig Blunden, chairman, chief executive officer and president of Provident Financial Holdings Inc., asked Loveridge about ways the city plans to keep the strategic document growing and alive long term. Loveridge responded that the effort involves 90-day progress checks with City Manager Brad Hudson and Dave Stewart, dean of the A. Gary Anderson School of Management at the University of California, Riverside, one of the plans main architects. The strategic effort brings together teams of business owners, education leaders and city officials toward the plans fruition.This is setting our destiny. We need to take charge of it. Were all involved. We need to get this out there, said Cindy Roth, board member and chief executive officer and president of the Greater Riverside Chambers of Commerce.The La Sierra University Foundation is comprised of 87 board members who are leaders in business, government and education. The board serves as a link between the university and the regional community, providing insight, direction and collaboration that strengthens both entities.

On Jerry Murray's Passing |
Written by Mike Buetow | |||
Friday, 18 January 2013 09:13 | |||
We at UP Media are, of course, very sad and distressed to hear the news of of our former colleague Jerry Murray's passing. Jerry worked for UPMG and its predecessors for more than 20 years. I came late to that party, but I worked with Jerry for five years and think of him every day. As a matter of fact, just before I received the news that he had died, at age 82, I was making plans for coming to San Diego for the IPC Apex show, and I was thinking about where to meet him. I think of Jerry almost every day, and I am so sorry that he's gone. He was one of a kind, in the best of ways. Who else had a life like his? He lived in the hottest places on earth and the coldest places on earth. He wrote and wrote and wrote some more: technical, pulp fiction, you name it. He married the love of his life, Suzie, one of the kindest persons I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. He was funny and warm and cranky and quirky, sometimes all at once. He knew so much about so many things and was always happy to share it. He had a great life. I'm glad I came along in time to share a little piece of it. I will be sad, and will cry and mourn my friend. But today I'm just glad he got to live the life most of us dream of. RIP, my friend.
