Four days after federal agents dismantled an alleged multi-million-dollar organization that manufactured and sold counterfeit identification documents in Little Village in April 2007, one of the leaders of a competing crew gave the signal that the "miqueros" - street vendors - under his supervision could start working again. With the competition shut down, leaders of the crew still operating along 26th Street seized the opportunity to increase their profits by raising prices. And, even though the situation had calmed enough to resume sales, the alleged crew boss believed that it was still too risky for him personally to make any trips to the street or to the manufacturing office, according to new federal charges.
The once-bustling counterfeit identification document business along 26th Street in Little Village was disrupted again yesterday when ICE agents began arresting up to 21 new defendants who allegedly conspired to create and sell fraudulent identification documents as part of the "St. Louis crew," which operated in the vicinity of 26th Street and St. Louis Avenue. Seventeen months ago, nearly two dozen alleged members of the "Albany crew" were arrested for similarly trafficking in counterfeit documents in and around the Discount Mall, located at 26th Street and Albany.
The alleged current leader of the St. Louis crew, Manuel Estrada, also known as "Manny," 31, and Jamie Solis, aka "Jarocho," 30, both of Chicago, who allegedly reported directly to Estrada, were among those who were arrested and charged in two criminal complaints that were unsealed Friday. The charges allege that Solis has been a member of the St. Louis crew for several years, previously working as a runner and manufacturer for the organization. In early 2006, Solis became a mid-level supervisor, reporting directly to Estrada. Their conversations, including discussions about the April 2007 arrests and its effects, were among numerous calls that agents intercepted pursuant to court-authorized wiretaps during the ongoing Operation Paper Tiger investigation that ICE began four years ago.
Estrada and 19 co-defendants were charged in one 183-page complaint with participating in conspiracy since 1999 to illegally produce identification documents, authentication features and false identification documents. A second complaint was filed against Solis alone, charging him with conspiring with others to produce false identification documents. Fifteen of the defendants were arrested since Tuesday night in Chicago, while six others are fugitives, announced U.S. Attorney Patrick J. Fitzgerald, Northern District of Illinois, and Gary J. Hartwig, special agent-in-charge of the ICE Office of Investigations in Chicago.
The fraudulent identification documents include resident alien cards ("green cards" or "micas"), social security account number cards ("social security cards"), driver's licenses, and state identification cards.
ICE agents yesterday executed search warrants simultaneously at five locations: 1) 2456 South Homan Ave., Chicago, which allegedly served as the "office" where fraudulent identification documents were produced; 2) Estrada's residence at 4057 South Albany Ave.; 3) Solis' residence at 3034 South Karlov Ave.; 4) Foto Studio Reyes, 2542 South Christiana Ave.; and 5) Foto Davila Inc., 3604 West 26th St. The two photo shops are where individuals allegedly obtained photographs for fraudulent identification documents.
All 15 defendants arrested yesterday were scheduled to have their initial court appearances beginning at 11 a.m. Friday before U.S. Magistrate Judge Michael Mason in U.S. District Court. (A list of the defendants, their alleged roles, and their custody or fugitive status is attached below.)
"Document and benefit fraud poses a significant vulnerability that must not go unchallenged," Mr. Hartwig said. "This action should send the clear message that ICE and its law enforcement partners will identify and dismantle those criminal organizations that perpetrate document fraud. We are committed to ensuring that our nation's security is not breached in this manner."
The Chicago offices of the FBI, the U.S. Secret Service, the U.S. State Department's Diplomatic Security Service, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection's Air and Marine Branch in Detroit assisted ICE in the investigation, which is continuing, the officials said.
According to the complaint affidavits, the St. Louis crew operated from about 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., seven days a week, located primarily at the intersection of 26th and St. Louis. According to the Solis complaint, a cooperating witness told agents that Solis reported directly to an individual who controlled that street corner. However, that individual, identified in the Estrada complaint as Estrada, was worried about being arrested so he tried to limit his risk by "renting" the corner to Solis for $700 a week. Solis, who supervised the corner, as well as the South Homan manufacturing office, allegedly kept any organizational profits in excess of the $700 weekly payment.
The crew typically employs between eight and 10 miqueros - also known as solicitors, vendors or sellers - individuals who stand on the street using hand gestures and verbally announcing to pedestrians and vehicles that they have identification documents for sale. A miquero advises customers of the cost of the identity documents and the location of a photography shop - usually Foto Studio Reyes or Foto Davila Inc. - to obtain photos for the documents. A miquero takes the order, photo, and payment from the customer, charging between $110 and $150 for a set of fraudulent documents, and keeps any profit after paying the office about $50 to make the documents. A set consists of a social security card or a green card, and a photo identification card. If the customer wants a social security card by itself, the charge is about $40.
The St. Louis crew also typically employs two runners, who transport orders, photos and money between the miqueros and manufacturers, and two manufacturers - one or both of whom work in an office actually creating fraudulent documents at any given time. The organization can manufacture fraudulent state identification cards or driver's licenses from most of the 50 states. Customers most commonly request identification cards or driver's licenses from Indiana, Wisconsin, Ohio, Texas, Illinois or Michigan.
Members of the crew are primarily of Mexican descent, but the nationalities of its customers vary. Customers have requested green cards for the following countries: Mexico, Colombia, Guatemala, Ecuador, El Salvador, Jamaica, Poland, Czech Republic, Albania, Russia and China. The vast majority of the fraudulent document transactions are conducted in either Spanish or English, sometimes with translators. Customers also include Caucasian and African-American individuals believed to be U.S. citizens. Law enforcement is unaware of any occasion in which the organization declined selling fraudulent identification documents to a customer who had sufficient money to purchase the documents.
In one instance in February, according to the Estrada affidavit, two co-defendants discussed selling nine sets of fraudulent documents to a customer from Ohio. They further discussed that if the documents worked successfully, then that customer was going to return to purchase sets for an entire factory of workers who were not authorized to work in the United States.
The government is being represented by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Michelle Nasser Weiss, Andrew Porter and David Buvinger.
If convicted, conspiracy to produce fraudulent identification documents carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison and a $250,000 fine. Note, however, that the Court determines the appropriate sentence to be imposed under the advisory U.S. Sentencing Guidelines.
The public is reminded that a complaint contains only charges and is not evidence of guilt. The defendants are presumed innocent and are entitled to a fair trial at which the government has the burden of proving guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

Arizona State Head Coach Randy Lein
On today's round:
"If you would have told me that we were going to shoot 67. I would have taken it in a heartbeat because you never know if the weather is going to be absolutely perfect like it was. We easily could have shooted three or four shots better because I think that we counted three doubles and a triple [bogey]. At most college tournament, you can't recover from that, but here when you make a stretch of six pars and a birdie, you made up a couple shots of the field. I think that we were unable to take advantage of number 17, which is an easy par five."
Arizona State Junior Jesper Kennegard
On his round today:
"I started out pretty good. It was solid. I was 5-under after eight then had some trouble coming in. I kept it in there and finished up pretty good with a birdie on the last to shoot 4-under."
Which was the toughtest hole for you today:"Seven is a tough hole. I made a good bogey there. Otherwise, if you just keep hitting the fairways, which I did today, you should play pretty well out there."
On how much did you coach talk about winning here in 1996 leading up to this week?
"A lot. Since the fall he has been saying, 'We have something good going on here. I want to do what we did in '96 and I have a good feeling about this week.' He has been saying that a lot to us. We are kind of making fun of it now, but it was a good start for us today.
On his first nine holes (started on No. 10):
"I was 1-under through four and then I birdie five, seven and eagled eight. When you make eagles, it goes fast out there. I didn't think that much I just played on and suddenly I was 5-under par."
On the play of the Honors Course:
"It was pretty much what I expected. It was pretty long, pretty soft, which makes it harder. There are some birdie holes out there. The par-5s are reachable if you hit it far. You can't have too much respect for this course, but if you get off to a good start, I think we will see a couple more of 68's."
Baylor Head Coach Greg Priest
On the team's play:
"I think we played ok. We let it get away from us at the end. It is a hard golf course, and you need to take advantage of it when you can."
On the quick start:
"We got off to a great start on the front side. Around the first six holes, we played really well. We did a good job today, and didn't kill ourselves."
California Head Coach Steve Desimore
On the team's play:
"We left some [birdies] out there. We did not put very well today. Overall, we did a lot of other good things well and that has a tendency to even out after awhile."
On your trip to Chattanooga:
"We have been on the road for five days. We are going to make sure to get a good night sleep and we will be ready to go tomorrow."
Clemson Head Coach Larry Penkey
On his team's play:
"We played too good to do what we did coming in, but we did it, so now we have to find a way to forget about it an regroup. We will try again tomorrow morning."
On the conditions of the course:
"The course is not going to get any easier, it is just not. The wind never blew. The ball was stopping where it landed. The greens were not severe at all if anything, you would like to see them a little faster. Especially late in the day, we were leaving putts short on every hole. It could not play any easier."
Clemson Senior Ben Martin
On his round:
"I was hitting it pretty solid. I birdied two and six, both par fives, and birdied seven. I birded ten, so I had it up to 4-under through 11. I struggled a little bit coming in, where I bogeyed 13 after driving it in the trees and three putted 17. It was a very solid day."
On The Honors Course:
"It reminds me a lot of The Farm. I have never played here. It is the same sort of setting, but a lot tougher. I think the rains softened it up, which helped us. If these storms hold off, I am sure that it is going to get more difficult around the greens."
Clemson Senior Luke Hopkins
On the quick start to the round:
"Number one I hit a good eight iron and made about a 15 footer for birdie. Then, number two I made another 15 footer for birdie. On three, I made a 25 footer for birdie. It was kind of hard not to be too confident, but I just fed off that all day."
On being 5-under (course record) heading to 18:
"I try not to think about any records. It is the first round and you can' t win it today. I just tried to hit it in the fairway and then hit a good approach. Unfortunately, I missed it a couple of yards to the left. I just tried to get it up on the front of the green. I hit it into the bunker and it was a downward spiral from there."
On his team's play:
"I saw the leader board once and we were 9-under par. We finished at two, which is kind of upsetting. At the same time, you can't complain. It was not like were coming in here expecting to shoot 30-under par."
Duke Head Coach Jamie Green
On today's rounds:
"It was an almost, the course isn't playing easy out there. It is certainly long, and if you hit it off the beaten path, it is definitely going to be hard to score. We had one player that played very well. He almost got a great round in. He bogeyed number 17, but played a terrific round of golf. The other guys would have liked to help him a little more, but we got some time."
On playing The Honors Course:
"It is absolutely one of, if not the best golf course that we ever play. It is that good. We are so luck to be here, every one of these teams and players. If we come here again, we would do it in a heartbeat."
On which hole was the most difficult:
"Generally, before the round started I would have said seven. But, you have to look at the scores to see if it came to fruition. You just have to have your head screwed on straight for every tee shot, or it could come up and bite you."
On Wes Roach's Day:
"Wes Roach shot a 3-under, who is from Knoxville, Tenn., played this course last summer. He hit some really piercing iron shots. He stuck some in really close (to the hole). When he missed a golf shot, he got it up and down. It was just one of those days. Hopefully he will stay sharp, and I know he can give even more than that. He should also have some high expectations."
Duke Junior Wes Roach
On being close to home:
"It is great to be back home. I am only an hour and a half from my house. It is definitely to be back around here. It has been nice to come back."
On your first round:
"I shot a first round 69, and I have two more rounds to go, then, hopefully, a couple more rounds of match play this weekend."
On the back nine:
"I started off the back nine with a really good par by getting up and down from the bunker. I hit a couple of wedge shots on the next two holes to within 15 feet of the cup, but I missed. I finally got a birdie on 13. On 14, I missed a putt, but on 15, I made a really, really good save. I was long right, and made about a 25-foot putt for par. On 16, I made about a 15-foot putt for birdie. But I threw one away on 17 with a bogey. I kind of fell asleep on my layup. I hit the ball into the first cut of the rough on the right, and then ended up hitting the ball over the green on my next shot. It was a little bit of a mental mistake, but I hit a couple of good shots on 18, and just barely missed a putt for birdie."
On the receptive greens:
Never, they have gotten a lot of rain down here in the last week or so. I definitely have to take advantage of them, because if the rain stays away then it is not going to get an easier.
On the challenging Par 5's:
I definitely didn't expect to shoot a 69 by playing the par 5s 1-under. I had good luck on the first three par-5s. On 11, I was within 10 feet, but couldn't convert, and then made my mistake on 17 with my third shot. I definitely need to play the par 5s better the next few days and hopefully in match play.
On The Honors Course;
I played out here in the state amateur tournament last summer, and a few times in high school. The more you play out here, the more comfortable you are. It has been nice to play some tournament golf out here. The experience has definitely helped me.
Florida Freshman Phillip Choi
On the opening round:
"It was a great round. Today, the key was I kept in control of my game. I didn't get frustrated when I made bogeys. The opportunities I had, I made the best of them. Overall, I drove and hit my approach shots well and putted well. That made for a great round of 69."
On where this round stacks up with others this spring:
"I think it was one of the best because like I said, I was in complete control of my game. I kept my emotions in check and everything was just how I wanted it. I didn't get ahead of myself, stayed in the present and it worked."
Thoughts on The Honors Course:
"I think this is a great golf course. It is a test of everything. You have to hit the ball well. You have to chip the ball well. If you do all of those well, you will play pretty good."
Florida State Senior Seath Lauer
On shooting a 69 in the opening round:
"I told my assistant coach that I was just going to try to make a bunch of pars and birdies would come. I couldn't have hit any better. I could have made a few more putts, but that's always kind of the story when you're hitting it well. Overall, I played well."
On the conditions of the greens:
"Conditions today were obviously perfect. The rain held off which was great. The course was there for the taking. You're going to see some low scores. It's hard and firm out here, right now it's not."
On the conditions in the rough:
"The rough is not as difficult as it could be. The rough is actually playable. You don't want to hit it in the rough is your objective. The fairways are great. If you're putting it in the fairways it's an opportunity right in front of you."
On mindset when playing:
"We're all just worried about ourselves. When you worry about yourself, you're helping your team. That's just my mindset this week. Get out here and keep playing good golf and keep playing well as a team. That's our objective."
Georgia Head Coach Chris Haak
On the conditions of the course:
"The greens were very receptive. You could throw it right at the flag on any of these holes. Now, we are through the first round nerves. As soft as the greens are the course if for the taking if you hit it good."
On Russell Henley playing as an individual:
"He has worked real hard realizing that golf is one shot at a time. He writes little notes to himself. One of them is not to let bad shots bother you. He has done a good job like that all year."
Georgia Southern Head Coach Larry Mays
On the team's round:
"We had two good rounds with a 71 and 73. I am really proud of Spencer (Fulford) and Logan (Blondell) for those rounds. We also had a 76, 77, and 79. To compete at this level, you can't do it with two scores. We need to regroup and hopefully have to four good scores on the board tomorrow. The course is playing good, and there are some birdies out there."
On overcoming mistakes:
"You have to play solid all day. That is what the two guys did that played well, and just took what the course gave them. They didn't make any major mistakes. A couple of guys struggled a bit, and made a couple of mistakes."
On playing here before:
"I have played the course once, but none of my players had before. I played last year as a guest, so I had one look at it. The course is a phenomenal facility."
On The Honors Course:
"It is a great golf course. They have added some length since the last NCAA tournament. They are asking a lot of the players. You can't lose focus for a second or two."
Georgia Southern Senior Spencer Fulford
On his opening round:
"I played OK, got a few breaks. Like on 16, the ball was a foot from going in the water, it stayed up and I made a great par. Overall, it was pretty good."
On the slow start:
"A little bit of it was nerves. I started off well, made four great shots on No. 1. Made a poor swing on No. 2 and was 2-over through three holes. I was just like, 'There are a lot of birdie holes.' Luckily, I birdied the next two and played even after that."
Could you have shot a lower round?
"Maybe one or two shots lower, but not really. I got away with two good breaks so it was fortunate."
On representing the Southern Conference:
"It is extremely important. We know this is where Chattanooga plays all of the time. They usually beat up on us every year. Furman had a great year, but they are not here, so hopefully we can do them proud."
Thoughts on The Honors Course:
"This course is unbelievable. It is definitely in the top three. I have played Augusta National and then probably this course."
Georgia Tech Head Coach Bruce Heppler
On his team's round:
"We got off to a bad start and fought back pretty well. We made one little mistake here at the end, but overall I am very pleased."
On The Honors Course:
"It was terrific and was a great test. You have to play every hole. There are no holes that you can take off and I that the scores show that."
Georgia Tech Junior Paul Haley
On his round:
"I got off to kind of a shaky start during the first five or six holes. I had some good putts for par and got up and down a couple of times. I hit it in the water on 15 and made an eight footer for double bogey. I birdied 16 to get back."
On The Honors Course:
"It is incredible. We have played it a couple of times. The greens were pretty receptive today. This golf course is fantastic. Fairways and everything is in such great shape."
Georgia Tech Senior Chesson Hadley
On the opening round:
"I hit it pretty poorly today. It just shows you that the putter is the rescuer. I made everything I looked at. I had 14 putts through 12 holes, so it was insane. I wasn't hitting it real close, I was just making everything for par. You can never be dissatisfied with even-par, so I am pretty excited about the rest of the week."
Thoughts on The Honors Course:
"This course is brutal. It is all you want. Ever hole requires your full focus. If you slip up once, you are going to make bogey or worse."
Illinois Head Coach Mike Small
On the team's opening round:
"(Junior) Scott (Langley) played well. He shot 2-under par and had a really good day. I am proud of him. We are going to pick it up tomorrow."
Kent State Head Coach Herb Page
On the recent strong play of Kevin Miller:
"He's been our best player the last couple of weeks. He's been swinging well and playing with a lot of confidence."
On how the team played today:
"It was a good team effort. Everyone was hanging around par for most of the day. It's a tough golf course. Overall, we're pretty pleased."
On Isaac Charette's round:
"It was good to see Isaac in the game all day today. He hit some good shots with a few putts dropping in."
Kent State Freshman Kevin Miller
On the round today:
"I played steadily with 14 pars, three birdies and a bogey. I didn't make a ton of putts, but took advantage of my opportunities."
On playing The Honors Course:
"It is a great course that is set up long, but playable. The conditions couldn't be better for scoring out there."
On which holes challenged you the most:
"A couple of long par fours, numbers five & ten. But there is nothing I can't handle. You just got to find the fairways on the long holes."
On any memorable shots:
"The shot on number eight I hit it within two feet, a par three. I almost holed it on number 11 on my third shot, and put the ball within two feet."
LSU Head Coach Chuck Winstead
On the team's opening round:
"We didn't play very well. We didn't drive the ball straight enough today to play well."
LSU Junior Andrew Loupe
On his opening round:
"I guess my round was kind of a struggle. I did not finish well. I bogeyed the last three holes to shoot a 75. I got a few bad breaks out there and hit a few bad shots. I hit a lot of good shots. My swing feels good, but I just hit a couple off of the fairway coming in. You really can't hit it off the fairway here. I just need to do better tomorrow. "
Thoughts on The Honors Course:
"It is a great course. It is challenging. You just have to hit it straight out here."
North Florida Head Coach Scot Schroeder
On how the team competed:
"We had four guys play really solid golf. We had two guys shot 72, one shot 73 and one shot 75. On this golf course, not knowing what you are going to get really definitive is a good start for the day."
On The Honors Course:
"It is going to be a really good test as the week goes along. You can't fake it out there (the course). You have to hit a lot of fairways and greens out there. At the end of the week, whoever wins it will have earned it."
On the challenge the course presents:
"You can't fall asleep on any hole. On any hole, if you hit a bad shot, you can make a bogey, double bogey, or worse."
North Florida Senior J.C. Horen
On his round:
"It was good, I played really well. I made a couple of good par saves. I made a couple of birdies."
On The Honors Course
"It is pretty unbelievable. The greens are good, really smooth and quick, a great golf course."
On which holes were the toughest:
"The seventh and 15th tee shots are very visually tough. If you hit it in the fairway on the holes it makes you feel really good when you are done."
On memorable moments from the round:
"I made par on hole seven. I hit the ball right and then hit a wedge shot to save par."
Oklahoma State Head Coach Mike McGraw
On the opening round:
"You obviously want to keep in touch with the leaders and be right there. You want to know that your kids have their game and are not struggling. We are pretty close, so I am pretty happy with that. We had four guys playing really well all day. We lost a few little shots here and there."
Thoughts on The Honors Course:
"It is a mixture of Karsten Creek, where we play, and Oaktree National, where we also play a lot of golf. If you put those two courses together, you end up with this place, which is kind of neat."
Okalhomoa State Senior Trent Whitekiller
On his round today:
"I played well and only had one three-putt on 16. Other than that, I played well and made a lot of birdies. I have been hitting the ball pretty well all semester. I just needed to get the putter going my way. All in all, it was a good round."
Oklahoma State Sophomore Peter Uihlein
On his shot to the 13th green:
"I hit a 3-wood out to about 100 yards and then hit a wedge to like six inches. I just tapped the ball in for the birdie."
On the conditions of the course:
"The course was receptive. There is not much wind. We had some guys play well. There is obviously two more days and we will have to be prepared for tomorrow."
Oregon Head Coach Casey Martin
On his round today:
"We played well. We got off to a real solid start, so I am pleased. You can't win it today, but you sure can lose it. We were pretty nervous this morning, but the guys have been working hard and wanted to do well. We had a little shaky start from a guy or two, but everyone battled and did well. We finished well in the last couple of holes, which is a great sign."
On the conditions of The Honors Course:
"I like this course for us. We are a pretty accurate team, by-and-large, and you need to be accurate here. We are not the longest team, but hitting longer irons off these fairways - they are so good and so full - it is OK. It is not like playing under firm conditions where long irons are a real disadvantage. From that standpoint, I like for our team, but we've got a long way to go."
Thoughts on The Honors Course:
"I love it. This course is really special. It is one of the best I have ever played or been on. It is a really, really special place. My guys are really enjoying it."
Oregon State Head Coach Brian Watts
On the opening round:
"I was thinking before we started that par was going to be a good number. It looks like that might hold up to be. At the end of the day, I don't know. You have 15 good teams teeing off now. The first round, we are just trying to shoot something around par and keep yourself in it...not make too many mistakes. This golf course can just eat you up if you make a couple of mistakes in a row. Then you are looking at big numbers. It is just relentless out here and there is no let-up. You have to just stay focused and it truly just one shot at a time."
On who played well today:
"(Seniors) Diego (Velasquez) and Mike (Berry) played solid. I think they were both 1-under par, so they kind of kept it in us today. We had three other guys who were on a rollercoaster out there. They finally put a few holes together and got a rhythm going. We got off to a really rough start. Fortunately, the guys stayed patient. Without knowing what the other teams are going to shoot, I would take what we shot today. We should not be too far out of that top-8.
On areas for improvement:
"Putting and the par-5s got us today. We have a little work to do ahead of us. It definitely was a culmination of those two things. We didn't put ourselves in great spots coming into the par-5s and we didn't make many putts. I saw us miss more five and six-footers than make, so we are going to work on our putting this afternoon and talk a little bit more about our management and see what happens tomorrow.
Oregon State Senior Diego Velasquez
On your round today:
"It went well today. I hit the ball really well. I did not put my best, but I kept at it and finished strong."
On your best hole:
"My best hole was probably 18, which is a tough hole. I did not drive the ball well, but did hit a really good 4-iron to within ten feet. Unfortunately, my putt lipped out."
On The Honors Course:
"Awesome, I am a senior and have played some really good courses, but this is something that I am definitely going to remember."
Penn State Junior Tommy McDonaugh
On his opening round 71 (-1):
"It went pretty well. A little shaky to start off. Kind of nervous as always playing with everybody here. I came into my own on the front nine after starting on the back."
Thoughts on The Honors Course:
"It is brutal. I played well. The hardest hole out here is 18 by far. It is 470 yards with no room anywhere. It is tough, but I like it a lot. It is fun."
San Diego Head Coach Tim Mickelson
On USD's opening round:
"I think for the first round we did exactly what we needed to do. We did not shoot ourselves out of it, but we did not play our best round of golf. We plan to play our best either tomorrow or Thursday."
On how the team played individually:
"I think the best thing that we did was that we stayed patient. We had a couple of double bogeys we had to count. We had a triple bogey we had to count. Anytime you have a kid like Alex Ching shoot 3-under par on this course, it will help your team score quite a bit. He was actually leading this tournament with one round to go last year."
On your first impression of The Honors Course:
"This is our virgin trip, every single one of us. It is a great track. You guys can host any tournament in the world that you want here. I am just thankful that Mr. Lupton and the Honors Course dedicated themselves to amateur golf and being an NCAA Committee member I appreciate that. We definitely feel welcome here, which is a nice thing."
San Diego Sophomore Alex Ching
On the feeling of not being comfortable with the course:
"I never felt comfortable out there. I hit some good shots along with some bad ones. If you slip up once out here you will pay for it."
On playing the course:
"It takes every bit of what you are, and take every bit of your mind. It (the course) can jump up and get you."
On your best shot today:
"On hole seven, the par four with water on the left, my coach said to suck up and hit a good drive. So, I hit a good drive down the middle. He saw me in the fairway and said 'par is a good score on this hole.' I put the ball within a foot of the cup and made birdie."
On how your coaches help with the round:
"Both of my coaches are really good at coaching me out on the course. They help me feel comfortable on the course by not talking about golf."
On the difficulty of the course:
"Really, the entire course is pretty difficult. The fairways from the tee boxes are really narrow. You also have to hit the green in the right spot. In the middle of the fairway, you could have a 6 or 9-iron in your hand and still be worried about hitting the right spot on the green."
On being at the Honors Course for the first time:
"The course is amazing. I called my dad yesterday and told him it was the toughest course I have ever seen."
Southern California Head Coach Chris Zambri
On the team's round:
"It was just OK and nothing too special at all. Nothing was horrible out there, which was nice because everybody played their game. We did not play our best, but that leaves us with a lot of ground to catch up."
On The Honors Course:
"I think it is incredible. It is a great test and the greens are not even firm at all. They are not that fast and it is still a phenomenally good test. This is where we need to play our national championships at courses like this that really test you."
Southern California Freshman Sam Smith
On the opening round:
"I started off a little shaky and was able to hold it together. I just did not score as well as I would have wanted to."
On The Honors Course:
"It was awesome and really tough. The course is fun and has its challenges and rewards. It is an all-around great package."
On his approach to hole three:
"I pulled it left, hit a tree and the ball bounced within three feet from the hole. It was a nice break."
Stanford Junior Sihwan Kim
On his round of 1-under:
"It was good. I hit the ball pretty well, but I made a couple of bad swings and I was not putting very well. It kind of got me over par, but I stayed patient and things started to fall as the round went on."
On The Honors Course:
"The golf course is tough. You definitely have to drive the ball well and the rough is getting thick in some places. Driving the ball was key today and it will for the entire tournament."
Tennessee Head Coach Jim Kelson
On his team's round:
"We played OK. We were close, but just too many double bogeys. It is a course that can come up and bite you and it came up and bit us. We are in position to go out and have a good round tomorrow to put us in good position for the final round of stroke play."
On playing close to home:
"I think it always good. There is a lot of local knowledge on this golf course. It is such a demanding course, the more you play here, then better off you are. It is sometimes hard to play at your home course, sometimes it is not, and for our guys I don't think it is."
Tennessee Senior David Holmes
On his teams' round:
"I have no clue how we did. Hopefully, we played well. We have two more days left, and hopefully we can make top eight."
On the pressure to make the top eight (teams):
"It is always in the back of your mind, but I think we are really a mentally tough and strong team. I think we will put that on the backburner.
On the support from the gallery:
"Not many people come and watch a normal college event, so it makes this a little more special."
On his round:
"I hit the ball really well. I think I missed two or three greens all day, just did not make any putts. I was happy with the way I hit the ball, and they are eventually going to drop."
On giving away shots:
"I hit three balls into four feet for birdie, but I missed all three of them. I played pretty solid. Having sixteen pars is really good out here."
TCU Head Coach Bill Montigel
On The Honors Course:
"The golf course played about as easy as it could possibly play. The greens are just absolutely perfect. I think there are going to be some low scores when the day is done. I wish we could play here every year."
On being here:
"I was here in 1996 when Tiger Woods won. So this is my second time here."
On your team's solid play:
"We played pretty solid, but we didn't make our first share of putts. There is a long way to go, so, if we can make some of our putts we will be ok."
TCU Senior Travis Woolf
On his round today:
"It was going well today until the last few holes. I was four over on my last three, but I was even par before that. I was playing well, I just finished bad."
Texas Head Coach John Fields
On his team's round today:
"I feel like we played pretty solid...290, 2-over par out here. We had a chance to play better than that, but it is what it is. We shot 290 and what we will do is come back tomorrow, get a good start and keep going."
On Lance Lopez's 69 (-3):
"I am really happy for Lance. 69 in the opening round at the National Championship...he is a senior...this is his fourth NCAA Championship. He played really well today and I am proud of him."
Texas Senior Lance Lopez
On his round of 69:
"I hit a lot of fairways and was able to get the ball up and down from around the greens. I was really able to save pars after missing approach shots. It was really important to stay patient out there. I did the best that I could and was able to effectively execute my game plan."
Texas A&M Head Coach J.T. Higgins
On the opening round:
"I am really happy with where we are today. I don't think we did anything special, but we played really solid golf and hung in there all day. We were 3-over early and got it back and ended up 3-under. That's with our No. 2 player having a really rough day. I think we played all of the par 5s even and all of our guys can get there in two on every one of them. I think we have a chance to shoot some really low scores the next couple of days."
Reason for the trouble on the par 5s:
"I am not sure. A couple of the guys told me they just were not in the fairway. I doesn't matter if it is a par 5 or a par 4, if you are not in the fairway you have to scramble just to save par."
Are you surprised at the amount of red numbers today?
"The weather has been pretty good for the most part, so there has not been a whole lot of wind. The rough is not as high as in 1996 and there is not much wind. Everyone hits the ball farther now, but I still think it has a lot of teeth. It is not easy by any means."
Impressions of The Honors Course:
"Oh my gosh, this is one of the most beautiful golf courses ever. It is just a great test of golf. You have to be really long and accurate off the tee. You have to be really precise and accurate with your irons. There is trouble everywhere. I think it is a great test. It is going to reward the best teams and the best players are going to separate themselves by the end of the week."
Texas A&M Ignacio Elvira
On his round:
"It was pretty good and steady. I had three birdies and one bogey."
On The Honors Course:
"I think that it is a great course. It is very tough. If you do not hit the ball in the fairways, then it is going to be difficult."
Texas Tech Head Coach Greg Sands
On his team's performance:
"It was really poor, but there are two more days. We have been playing good all spring and coming into this tournament."
On The Honors Course:
"It is fantastic. You can't fake it around here. We just did not make enough birdies today. It was soft and it could yield some good scores."
On going into tomorrow:
"We still have two more rounds. This is a special team and I have a good feeling. We know that we have to play well now."
Texas Tech Junior Nils Floren
On his round:
"It was a real rollercoaster today. I didn't hit the ball very good, but really scrambled well and got up and down a couple of times. I hit one in the water on 15 and hit a tree coming in (on 18). I played pretty good, but it would have been helpful to hit a few more greens."
On The Honors Course:
"It is really good. Hopefully, we can stay away from the rain a little bit, so that it can dry up. It is one of the best courses that I have ever played."
Virginia Head Coach Bowen Sargent
On the team's opening round:
"We struggled hard off the bat. We were 8-over through the first four holes, then played really well coming in. We had one guy go from 5-over to 2-under. A couple of other guys played even from there in so if we had gotten through 10, 11 and 12 a little better at the start, we would have been in better shape. This start on 10 is a hard start. That 10th hole is tough."
On The Honors Course:
"I have played here in the U.S. Am in '91 and a Southern Am and State Am. I am from Tennessee so I have been here a lot. It is a great venue and my favorite course in the world. I love this place...it is a special place."
UCLA Head Coach Derek Freeman
On how the team played today:
"We struggled. It was a tough first round for us, but we battled at the very end. We played well over the last four-five holes. That was nice. We needed that. To have any chance to get into the final eight, we needed to play well and stop our bleeding and we did that. So I'm really pleased with that. We've got to come out tomorrow morning and play well.
On playing at the Honors Course:
"It's an unbelievable facility. It's a great golf course. It challenges you from tee to green. It's everything you could want in a championship. It's absolutely fabulous.
Your impression of The Honors Course:
"Yes. I love it. The hospitality is great. The food's wonderful. The golf course is great. Magnificent. We're really excited to be here.
On significant play of individuals:
"Very big one was right here on 18. Gregor Main just birdied it, that put us at 6-over for the day. That's a big one for us. Pontus (Widegren) birdied 16 and 17 so between those two to finish like they did, it was really, really important for us as we move forward."
UCLA Freshman Pontus Widegren
On first round of play:
"Very good. It got off to a good start made a good 10-footer for par on my first hole after hitting it long. It was really nice to keep it going and get it off to a good start. I birdied four of my first eight which was really good. Then I had a bad stretch at 10-11-12, I made three bogies. But apart from that it was really good."
On playing at the Honors:
"I absolutely love it. For us to come to a course like this, for a tournament like this. This is a championship and the course is one of the best I've seen."
On most difficult holes of the day:
"There were a bunch of holes. I think the two around the water over there, 7 and 15, it's tough driving holes. It was downwind on one of them and pretty calm on the other one, but playing 15 into the wind was pretty hard."
On most memorable shot of the day:
"I had a pretty good second shot on four today. It was just in the rough. It was just when the wind started swirling a bit and the rain started a bit and I hit it to just inside three feet so it was a really good wedge and started my round in a good way."
UNLV Head Coach Dwayne Knight
On his team's round:
"Nobody really got hot. I think that we were 6-over, so probably not too bad for the way we started off. There was a long two days to go."
On The Honors Course:
"We played really well here in 1996 and lost by three shots to Arizona State. We have good memories here. Obviously, this is a whole new crew. It is a wonderful facility and I really like it."
UNLV Sophomore Derek Ernst
On his round:
"I got off to a great start, then I had a little break because there was a backup for like 30 minutes or so. I struggled after with not being warmed up. I was at two-over before shooting two-under on the back. It was an up and down round."
On The Honors Course:
"It is a great course. To think that Tiger Woods has been here and won back in 1996, it is just great to be here."
Washington Senior Nick Taylor
On the opening round:
"I got off to a good start and finished bad. Overall it was a good day."
Thoughts on The Honors Course:
"It is a very good course. It was very challenging and a very good test."

Shalom Lutheran Church
2015 Run for the Gold 5K
Light of the World Academy is a ministry of Shalom Lutheran Church. We believe that each child is a gift to us, created and loved by God. We believe that learning is life long. Light of the World Academy provides a Christ-centered learning environment in which both children and parents feel welcome. We believe that education involves the whole person -- emotionally, socially, intellectually, spiritually and physically.
We believe in the uniqueness, worth and dignity of the individual. We believe that positive self-image is basic to all learning. Our academic preschool and kindergarten programs are based on the philosophies of Dr. Maria Montessori. The Montessori classroom is a prepared environment in which all children learn through an individualized approach. Children are provided with an atmosphere in which they will learn from their peers. They develop self-discipline and learn respect for each other and their environment. The children become self-motivated and self-directed and very independent as they work at their own individual academic level.
No child is stifled and no child is pushed to move on before he or she is ready. Under the guidance of a carefully trained teacher, the students are challenged at their own individual levels. Light of the World Academy is equipped with a full range of specialized materials that encourage manipulations, questions, discovery and knowledge about the world. We stress the process of learning rather than the end result. Children learn not to fear mistakes, instead viewing them as an opportunity for learning.
We believe that our focus in meeting the child's needs, helping him gain an inner discipline, spiritual knowledge and respect for rights of others is preparing a child for life. At Light of the World Academy, your child will be introduced to sensorial and practical life activities, math, reading, art, music, geography, computers, foreign language, science and spiritual education. And most importantly, a love of learning that will last a lifetime.
We are located in Shalom Lutheran Church at 1740 E M-36, Pinckney, MI 48169

Rocksmith 2014 Song List Revealed

The Rockstar Ramblings: Wild Thing
This week a new video from Sammy Hagar and Friends and a rock and roll hair flashback that goes way, way back. It's been 25 years since the classic Sam Kinison version of "Wild Thing." Putting these two videos together confirms what I've suspected: EVERYTHING has changed since 1988! More...
Sunday Old School 200: Monsters Of Rock
This week's edition of Sunday Old School is a very special one because today sees Sunday Old School reach two hundred official articles! So to celebrate this little milestone of ours, I wanted to look back in rock and metal history and find a true landmark moment in the genre. A moment that let the world know that heavy music was here to stay and meant so much to so many. And nothing seemed like a bigger moment in general metal history than when promoter Paul Loasby teamed up with Maurice Jones and formed a festival, which was to be held at Donington Park in Leicestershire, England, and would be known as Monsters of Rock.
The one day event was initially scheduled to be a grand final date for Rainbow's UK tour, a band whom Loasby had recently been promoting. Rainbow were joined at the inaugural event by established German rockers, the Scorpions, who had just released their seventh album, "Animal Magnetism" and Judas Priest, who were riding high thanks to the wildly successful, "British Steel" album. Also on the bill that day were heavy metal upstarts, Saxon, who were considered the leaders of the exciting young, New Wave of British Heavy Metal movement at the time, Canadian hard rock veterans, April Wine and New York openers Riot and Touch. The festival was a resounding success, drawing in thirty five thousand fans and a live compilation album, which sold well.
Although it was initially conceived only as a vehicle for Rainbow, it was announced on the day of the first edition that the festival would return the next year. AC/DC were to be the headliners in 1981, marking the first of their record holding three headline appearances at the event. It was a somewhat lighter tone in the sophomore year, where AC/DC were joined Whitesnake, American stars, Blue Oyster Cult and quite interestingly, British glam rock veterans, Slade, who had recently found favour with the heavy metal audience after a brief time out of the limelight. Rounding off the bill was Blackfoot, a Southern Rock band from Jacksonville, Florida and More, who were notable for featuring former Iron Maiden vocalist, Paul Day, as well as a DJ set from the BBC's voice of rock, Tommy Vance. The varied lineups continued, with Status Quo (AKA, your nan's favourite band) headlining the event in 1982, where they were joined by other established rockers such as Gillan, Uriah Heep and Hawkwind, as well as a young Canadian group named, Anvil and Monsters of Rock veterans, Saxon, who became the first band to appear twice, before Whitesnake closed the event in 1983, which also featured Meat Loaf and ZZ Top, who were placed higher than such heavy metal favourites as Dio, Diamond Head and Twisted Sister.

The Rockstar Ramblings: Evil Eyes
This week a classic new vs. old video showdown; on one side we have Aerosmith, the other side, The Last Vegas. Aerosmith is famous for a career that spans four decades and now Steven Tyler's (yawn) work on American Idol as a judge. The Last Vegas are a new sleaze rock band that put a unique spin on their videos (and songs) by incorporating horror and humor when possible. SPOILER ALERT: No losers here today! More...
The Rockstar Ramblings: Mad Men
Last Sunday both Motley Crue and The Darkness were featured in Super Bowl ads. They aren't the first from their genre to sell out, or allow the semi-truck full of cash back up into their driveway, nor will they be the last. Over the past few years a lot of rockers from the eighties have partnered with Madison Avenue to create brief whore-like relationships. This week a look at the new Super Bowl commercials, and a few blasts from the past commercials: More...
The Rockstar Ramblings: Back in Rehab
Back from rehab and ready to go…
Motley Crue lead singer, Vince Neil, is set to receive an entertainment lifetime achievement award in Las Vegas. Rumor has it that there will be a special guest presenting the award to Neil. Given it is Las Vegas, fingers crossed that we may be very close to seeing Carrot Top's defining moment in show business… More...
The Rockstar Ramblings: Giving Back
Steven Tyler (Aerosmith) is admitting that not only did he fall off the wagon in 2008, but fellow toxic twin, Joe Perry also joined him while they attempted to record a new album. The way Tyler tells it is that Joe was snorting so many prescription drugs he was unable to play guitar. Note that contrary to rumors, snorting non-prescription drugs does not enhance playing guitar…
With eight out of thirteen tracks completed, Sebastian Bach (ex-Skid Row) is expected to have a new album released in the Summer of 2011. Bach is promising rock and roll with clean vocals and lots of screaming. All signs are pointing to Sebastian putting his "country music" years behind him. It appears everyone has agreed to just ignore this and make believe it never happened and that's fine with me...
After attending classes and making a donation to M.A.D.D., Vince Neil (Motley Crue) is fully clear of his DUI charge. Neil will have the weekend to rest and then appear back in court on Monday for battery and disorderly conduct charges. For those keeping track it's: Vince Neil 2, Lindsay Lohan 2 for number of court appearances in 2011. The good news is both are below their annual average, the bad news is we are only one-third through the year… More...
The Rockstar Ramblings: Restored and Remastered
Forgetting about his recent trouble with the law, Vince Neil (Motley Crue) joined Steel Panther on stage at the Ovation Showroom in Green Valley Ranch, Las Vegas to sing Crue staples "Live Wire" and "Kick Start My Heart". I'm not exactly sure where Green Valley Ranch is but I suspect the Ovation room is just down the hall from the Encore Center and Bravo-Bravo Hall… More...
The Rockstar Ramblings: Court and Rehab
This week Duff McKagan (Loaded, ex-Guns N Roses) put to rest the rumor that Guns N Roses will be reuniting for next year's Super Bowl. Even I knew that. Everyone knows there won't be a football season next year… More...
The Rockstar Ramblings: The Ozzy Bowl
It was reported last week that Vince Neil (Motley Crue) owes 1 million dollars in taxes. He has since denied this report, but I'm assuming one of his many business ventures will cover the expense if needed. If not, expect a hat to circulate the crowd during this year's Crue Fest…
Bret Michaels (Poison) continues to recover from heart surgery. The surgery was originally to fix a hole in his heart, but turned into a much larger procedure when they found an actual VH1 cameraman wrapped around his aortic valve…
Warrant has hit a new milestone with allowing their ballad "Heaven", to be used in a commercial by the laundry detergent, Gain. Given eighties rockers seem to resonate with the forty something MILF (and non-MILF) crowds could we be seeing the start of something new? How about Skid Row's "I Remember You" for PMS medication for that special time of the month? For men, well I can't think of a better song than Def Leppard's "Rocket" to sell penis enlargement products. Public service announcements for STD prevention? Motley Crue's "Red Hot" works, of course, "I Remember You" may also work here as well… More...
The Rockstar Ramblings: American Idol and Glee
While out promoting for Amercian Idol, Steven Tyler (Aerosmith) was quoted saying "American Idol is not rock n' roll", "American Idol will take Aerosmith up a few notches", and that "Joe Perry is a loose cannon". This was all in one interview! In related news, Tyler mentions he can't find Joe Perry. He's hiding Steven, waiting for all of this to go away. You can remove your head from Ryan Seacrest's ass. He's not in there… More...
The Rockstar Ramblings: Prostitutes and Beards
After eighteen years of marriage Sebastian Bach (ex-Skid Row) and his wife are getting a divorce. Not shocking considering the two have been separated since April, but the real question: what are the odds Bach left a red wine stain on the divorce papers? Fifty percent? Eighty percent?... More...
The Rockstar Ramblings: The Resolutions
Duff McKagan (Velvet Revolver, Loaded, ex-Guns N Roses) has recently undergone sinus surgery to fix a quarter size hole caused from drug use. Based on this information I have to assume at some point Steven Adler's (Adler's Appetite, ex-Guns N Roses) nickname was Silver Dollar… More...
The Rockstar Ramblings: The Ozzy Hangover Cure
Ozzy Osbourne has gotten into another traffic altercation, this time rear ending another car while driving a Ferrari. In honor of this monthly event, let's have a quiz: Which of the following are true of Ozzy's driving habits? A. It took him 19 attempts at the driving test in order to get his license. B. Ozzy once fell asleep during a driving test, the instructor was gone when he awoke. C. Ozzy repeatedly showed up with alcohol in his body to his driving tests. D. All of the above… More...
The Rockstar Ramblings: Christmas Edition II
Tis' the season, it's that time of year again. This week we take a look and see what our aging rockers are hoping for under the Christmas tree… More...
The Rockstar Ramblings: Feed Sebastian!
This week Sebastian Bach (ex-Skid Row) was asked to leave a bar and instead of politely grabbing his top hat and heading for the door he smashed a wine glass and then bit the owner's hand. Can someone get this ex-Celebrity Fit Club guy a sandwich? To make matters worse Canadian cops found two grams of weed on Bach. So not only was Bach hungry from dieting, but also smoking pot.

Atreyu's New Covers EP Streaming Online
Atreyu's entire new EP, "Covers Of The Damned," featuring Aerosmith's "Living On The Edge" is now streaming on Monster Energy's site. You can find it in their music player and then by selecting Atreyu in the artist dropdown.
Before Orange County, CA-based modern rock band Atreyu launch their "Congregation of the Damned" tour October 20 in Anaheim, CA, the band will release a free five-song digital EP titled "Covers of the Damned" on October 12 via www.guvera.com (US only). "Covers of the Damned" will also be available worldwide on iTunes, amazon.com and all popular music download sites. Limited edition vinyl copies will be available exclusively at each show on the tour (dates below). The tour will see several of these songs performed live with special guests.
"Covers of the Damned," produced by Noah Shain (As Tall As Lions, Orson, Endless Hallway), features two cover songs by Atreyu and three collaborations with the other bands on the tour. Shain notes that, "These young bands all have a unique and different approach to rock music...such radical interpretations of dangerously classic songs. It was amazing to see and hear these guys work together! We recorded the album in a very short amount of time and everyone followed their instincts, so what you hear is an honest interpretation of the music of an older generation filtered through the ears and hands of the generation of artists making the music that defines today's culture. Kind of a once in a lifetime gig for me. And not only is it a bad ass record, it's gonna be a f__king amazing tour!" Adds Atreyu's Alex Varkatzas, "A whole tour teaming up to release an EP is a rare thing. We wanted to collaborate with the bands on our tour to create a fun series of covers. This shit was fun to record and will be fun to listen to."
Atreyu and the members of Chiodos, Blessthefall and Endless Hallway recorded the EP in White Buffalo Studios from September 12 to 17. Architects (UK) vocalist Sam Carter recorded his parts remotely from the UK.
The songs are:
Aerosmith's "Livin' on the Edge" (Atreyu)
Dead Kennedys "Holiday in Cambodia" (Endless Hallway and Travis Miguel of Atreyu)
Volbeat's "Guitar Gangsters and Cadillac Blood" (Atreyu)
Thin Lizzy's "The Boys Are Back in Town" (featuring Atreyu vocalist Alex Varkatzas and guitarists Travis Miguel and Dan Jacobs along with Endless Hallway members Evan MacCarthy and Joe Mullen, Chiodos vocalist Brandon Bolmer, Architects (UK) singer Sam Carter and Blessthefall vocalist Beau Bokan)
Deftones "My Own Summer" (Atreyu guitarist Travis Miguel and bassist Mark McKnight with Brandon Bolmer and Tanner Wayne of Chiodos, Sam Carter of Architects (UK) and Jono Evans of Endless Hallway
All of the songs on the EP were important to the members of Atreyu in their formative years and contributed to their development as a band. Fans can see the behind-the-scenes footage of the making of this EP soon at RevolverMag.com.

The Rockstar Ramblings: Dr. Ozzy Strikes Again
In a recent interview with Classic Rock magazine, Slash (Velvet Revolver, ex-Guns N Roses) says that he considered Axl Rose (Guns N Roses) as one of the singers for his recent solo project, explaining that Rose would be able to sing the shit out of all of his songs. I also believe this would give the two an opportunity to bond; each day calling Steven Adler (Adler's Appetite, ex-Guns N Roses) and ask if he wants to get the band together then yelling "psyche!"

The Ubie, (pronounced "ooh-bee") is the world's smallest vaporizer. The Ubie uses hot air from a lighter to rapidly release organic aromas. The Ubie automatically controls temperature to remove flavors without burning! The result is superior aroma and flavor --without harsh wood smoke.
The Ubie is light, fast efficient and portable. It's simply the best.
How the Ubie works:
The Ubie operates easily. Warm air above the flame (clean CO2 and H2O) is drawn through the tip and through the smoking material. The flow through the diffusion tip automatically prevents burning.
How to operate the Ubie:
Place a tiny amount of finely chopped smoking material inside. Replace the mouthpiece. Hold the tube vertically and tap the tube gently to gather the material toward the mouthpeice. Hold a standard butane lighter flame about 2 cm below the tip when drawing flavor. After the material becomes exhausted it is easily tapped (with fingernail) to fall out of the cylinder while still warm. Remember, the glass gets hot for a minute, so hold the ubie by the cool end.
Why is the Ubie the best vaporizer out there?
Works with a lighter.
Heats instantly.
It's portable.
Easy to use.
No electric coils.
No bateries to recharge.
Provides rich excellent flavor.
Made of precision crafted Pyrex glass.
Other vaporizers still need cleaning eventually.
Similar products are ALL knockoffs of our amazing patented hot air through holes technology.
Other products like the Ubie:
There are many vaporizers on the market. The Ubie is a true convection vaporizer and it's portable.
The Ubie's high efficiency and rich vapor make it a favorite.
How long does the Ubie last?
The Ubie can be reused indefinitely as long as it is cleaned regularly and not dropped on a hard surface.
Is the Ubie safer than smoking?
The Ubie is believed to be 95% less damaging than "smoking". Reports also say that it eliminates smokers cough. Studies of non combustion smoking show 95% lower toxicity [1] [2] and approximately 98% reduction in second hand smoke [3]. Yet there is no guarantee smoking will be completely "safe" even if combustion byproducts are eliminated. (Our data comes from R.J. Rynolds Volitization studies which is no longer on the the internet.)

Raiders of the Lost Ark (also known as Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark) is a 1981 American action-adventure film directed by Steven Spielberg, produced by George Lucas, and starring Harrison Ford. It is the first film in the Indiana Jones franchise, and pits Indiana Jones (Ford) against the Nazis, who search for the Ark of the Covenant, in an attempt to make their army invincible. The film co-starred Karen Allen as Indiana's former lover, Marion Ravenwood; Paul Freeman as Indiana's nemesis, French archaeologist René Belloq; John Rhys-Davies as Indiana's sidekick, Sallah; and Denholm Elliott as Indiana's colleague, Marcus Brody.
The film originated with Lucas' desire to create a modern version of the serials of the 1930s and 1940s. Production was based at Elstree Studios, England, and filming also took place in La Rochelle, Tunisia, Hawaii, and California from June to September 1980.
Released on June 12, 1981, Raiders of the Lost Ark became the top-grossing film of 1981; it remains one of the highest-grossing films ever made. It was nominated for eight Academy Awards in 1982, including Best Picture, and won four (Art Direction, Film Editing, Sound, Visual Effects) as well as winning a fifth Special Achievement Academy Award in Sound Effects Editing. The film's critical and popular success led to three additional films, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984), Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989), and Indiana Jones and ...

Luis Suarez turns Santa! Liverpool star gives Uruguay charity a £10,000 Christmas present
LUIS SUAREZ is used to delivering the goods on the pitch. Now he's delivered them off them.
Suarez has given a specialist children's centre in his native Uruguay a £10,000 Christmas present.
In recognition of Suarez winning the Football Supporters' Federation Player of the Year 2013, award sponsor William Hill donated the cash to a charity of his choice.
Suarez, who this week signed a contract extension with Liverpool, chose the Teleton charity in Uruguay that looks after children with neuro-musculoskeletal disabilities.
Luis Suarez said: "I am delighted to help the Teleton initiative and I am very grateful to William Hill for their donation to the charity."

Home > Procedures > Digital Mammography
Radiology Associates provides comprehensive breast imaging services for the women of the central coast. Currently, digital mammography along with a manual breast exam by both the patient and a trained health care provider offer the best available screening method for breast cancer. This strategy has been shown to reduce breast cancer mortality. However, breast cancer can be invisible on the mammogram so women must be careful to examine their breasts routinely (monthly) and report any changes immediately to their health care provider.
In certain instances, your radiologist may need to obtain extra mammographic views or perform an ultrasound of the breast to evaluate a finding on the mammogram.
Technology continues to evolve and advanced imaging modalities like MRI are now being used to help evaluate certain breast conditions.

Resist Obamacare: No State Insurance Exchanges
States have until Dec.12 of this year to decide if they will set up the insurance exchanges mandated by the Obamacare law. These exchanges will be the marketplace where health insurance is to be sold under the so-called Affordable Care Act.
But, each state has the right to decide for itself if it wants to establish an exchange. If a state refuses, the federal government will step in, do it for them and run the exchanges itself.
It will make a huge difference whether a state sets up its own exchanges. The exchanges are likely to be an administrative nightmare. Most likely consumers won't know how to use them, won't understand the pricing and the options, and will have nowhere to turn for help. All of our fears of federal incompetence will probably be realized when these new exchanges are established.
If the exchanges are federal, President Obama will get the blame that he will richly deserve. The incompetence of federal regulation will be manifest, and the frustration will cause many to turn against the Obamacare law.
Already, governors in Ohio, Wisconsin, Alaska, Maine, Indiana, Nebraska, Texas, North Carolina and South Carolina have announced that they will not set up exchanges. New Jersey, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Virginia and a host of other states have not yet reached a decision. Experts say that about half of the states are expected to refuse to establish the exchanges.
This is a crucial juncture in the implementation of Obamacare. If states assume the responsibility for administering this nightmare, the blame will not land on the president's doorstep.
And, if Obama's inability to meet any of the deadlines in the law is any guide, he won't meet the requirement to establish health insurance exchanges in time for 2014, forcing yet another postponement of the implementation of the law. This will give us a crack at the 2014 legislative elections where we might send an anti-Obamacare majority to the Senate and could possibly block implementation.
Resistance must be our policy!
Please sign the attached petition for your state's governor asking that he not establish a health insurance exchange. Please include your address so we can send it to your governor.
Dear Fellow Obamacare Opponent,
Please sign the attached petition asking your governor not to set up a health insurance exchange as requested by the President under the Obamacare law. If he or she joins many other governors in refusing to do so, the administrative burden will fall on the federal government. Most likely they will fail to do it efficiently and a further postponement of the law will be necessary. Don't do Obama's dirty work for him. Tell you governor to stand up for you.
We the undersigned call on our governor to refuse to establish health insurance exchanges. We refuse to do Obama's dirty work for him.

Soapbox David Culm: Common sense is lost in favour of a sense of security in financial matters
Posted: November 15, 2012|
HERE is an example of the lengths some financial institutions will go to make life difficult.
I wished to cash in an ISA account, in my name, and have the proceeds transferred to my current account with a bank.
I wrote and signed a letter to the building society – including my name, address and the account number – authorising them to transfer the money to a current account in my name.
I received a letter acknowledging receipt of my request, which said "unfortunately we will be unable to do this as we cannot verify your signature."
"Just a minute," thinks I, "haven't I sent them a hand-written letter with my signature on it?"
Then they go on to ask that I either send a current signed passport, or a current UK photocard driving licence in a prepaid envelope, or take them to their local branch which is, wait for it... in Nottingham.
So, picking up the phone, I call the building society.
"Hello, can I help you?" says a polite lady.
"Yes, it's about a letter I've received about an encashment of an ISA".
Then follows a convoluted security procedure which eventually actually proves, to the lady on the other end of the line, that I am the account holder.
"So how can I can help you today sir?"
I read out the letter I have received asking me for a signature, then ask: "Why don't you just transfer the money in my name with you, into an HSBC bank account also in my name?"
"Security reasons sir" comes the reply.
Now I have assumed a Basil Fawlty stance. "But haven't I just satisfied those?"
I ask to be transferred to the complaints department, only for another jobs-worth to tell me security policy doesn't allow such things to happen without a verifying signature.
"So have you got a copy of my signature on the original ISA application then?"
"No", says she, "That was with the building society we took over."
Now I am fuming.
"But you have a signature of mine on the letter I sent you, requesting the transfer to a bank account in my name with full details of that account. So where's the problem? I am the transferee and transferor."
Then, as if my words have bounced off a brick wall: "But we'll still need a signature verification."
"Okay", says I, "Put me through to a director of marketing before I write a letter to the press highlighting your idiocy."
She asks if she can call me back, which she does indeed do – and this is the real cruncher.
"Hello Mr Culm, we've had a word with management, and if it's okay with you, we'll send you a cheque.
"But we'll need a signature to acknowledge its receipt".
Things can't get more stupid than that... or can they?

The Commission on Starkville Consolidated School District Structure met Thursday evening and decided it best to keep Oktibbeha County's children in Oktibbeha.
The seven-member commission met with representatives from school districts in the six counties that border Oktibbeha County to discuss the feasibility of those districts absorbing students that live close to them. However, the distance and other districts' own struggles would create issues that make some prospects unworkable.
