Some major decisions are expected in the next few days, and we're not referring to how the dithering, ineffectual Cincinnati City Council will finally close a $54 million deficit.
Rather, the decisions coming soon are who will replace Republican Chris Monzel on City Council, and who will replace Tom Callinan as editor at The Enquirer.
The Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles has been reviewing its driver's license policy for the children of illegal immigrants for nearly two months now, but if it was up to Attorney General Mike DeWine, those people would already be eligible for driver's licenses.
In a letter to the Latino Affairs Commission dated to March 19, DeWine wrote, "It appears that the BMV would have to accept driver's license applications from individuals that fall under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) initiative because they can provide all of the information necessary."
DACA is an executive order signed by President Barack Obama that allows the children of illegal immigrants to qualify for a social security number and work permit. According to DeWine, that should be enough to qualify for an Ohio driver's license: "With these documents and any other documents normally required by the BMV, an individual can provide the BMV with the information necessary to receive a driver's license."
The BMV has been reviewing its driver's license policy for DACA recipients for nearly two months. A previous CityBeat report found the BMV is granting driver's licenses to some of the children of illegal immigrants, but what qualifies a few and disqualifies others is unclear.
DeWine's letter is not legally binding, but since it's coming from the state's top legal adviser, it could put pressure on the BMV's legal team as it continues reviewing the Ohio's driver's license policy.
"I encourage any citizen who is concerned about a law or policy to contact their legislators and voice that concern," DeWine wrote. "As Attorney General, I do not have the authority to introduce or vote on legislation."
CityBeat originally broke the story regarding the BMV policy through the story of Ever Portillo, who was not able to receive a driver's license despite being a DACA recipient ("Not Legal Enough," issue of Feb. 6).
CityBeat later heard stories and received documents showing what seemed to be internal confusion and conflict about the policy at the BMV. Between January and February, there was a
noticeable shift in the BMV's messaging from flat-out barring DACA
recipients from obtaining driver's licenses to reviewing the entire
process — a change that might be attributable to the barrage of statewide media coverage on the issue after CityBeat's coverage.
For all the rhetoric about the United States' right to freedom of the press, the best reporting on the governmental secrets revealed by WikiLeaks, and the deeper issues they raise, has been done by media outlets in other nations. And the best and most in-depth interview with Julian Assange has been done by a British journalist for Al Jazeera, the Arab satellite news channel.
David Frost, who famously interviewed President Nixon a few years after his resignation following the Watergate scandal, now has a program on Al Jazeera, entitled Frost Over the World.
Financial giant and Lytle Park bully Western & Southern has accused city officials and other Anna Louise Inn advocates of repeatedly deceiving the Department of Housing and Urban Development in order to obtain federal funds for the long-awaited, $13 million renovations to the Inn.
Those renovations are the same ones that have been blocked over and over by a series of legal entanglements initiated by Western & Southern, which tried to purchase the Inn back in 2009 for $1.8 million, refusing to buffer the Inn's $3 million price tag. In 2011, the Hamilton County Auditor valued the plot at $4 million.
Now, the corporate giant, which owns a number of other plots of land in Lytle Park, wants to buy the Inn and convert it into an upscale hotel.
Western & Southern's lawyer, Glenn Whitaker, sent a letter obtained by CityBeat dated March 19 to City Solicitor John Curp accusing city officials of knowingly violating the federal Fair Housing Act by allowing the owner of the Inn, Cincinnati Union Bethel (CUB), to pursue federal funding for renovations while providing services to exclusively women in need, which the letter alleges would "discriminate on the basis of gender" and "expose the City to liability under both the federal False Claims Act and the FHA."
"We share this with you because — no matter where one stands on whether ALI's renovations comply with Cincinnati Zoning Code — it is in the public interest for the City to avoid a lawsuit that could lead to a significant payout in today's budget environment," reads the letter.
Of course, that lawsuit is one that would be entirely fabricated and launched by Western & Southern, on top of years worth of zoning violation allegations that, so far, have failed to gather much merit.
Some women-only shelters are deemed permissible due to safety issues, but in the letter, Whitaker alleges that the renovation plans expose ALI to discrimination liability by, in theory, making the safety issue moot by providing clear, separated spaces for men and women. The renovation plans include converting what are now dormitory-style units with shared bathrooms into private residences with private bathrooms and kitchens, according to the letter.
Curp, who received the letter, says the city's relationship with HUD is one that hinges on constant communication, and though Western & Southern's allegations were unexpected, they'll be taken seriously.
"We work with them closely, we have a great relationship with HUD. They were the first organization we contacted when we got this letter, ... so they understood the nature of the allegations and because they're one of our development partners. We have lots of development partners in the city, frankly, including Western & Southern. ... We're disappointed that the city has been pulled into what is otherwise a third-party dispute."
The letter also accuses a number of community members, including 3CDC, Vice Mayor Roxanne Qualls, the Model Group, the Greater Cincinnati Homeless Coalition and the YMCA of conspiring to move low-income residents from the Metropole to the Anna Louise Inn in order to ease litigation with the Homeless Coalition and make way for the new, upscale 21c Museum Hotel.
John Barrett, Western & Southern's CEO, is also on the board of 3CDC, which adds an extra element of mystery to the lodged accusations; at best, it seems extreme they'd be willing to accuse ally 3CDC of wrongdoing or conspiracy for the sake of a discrimination lawsuit against a nonprofit social services agency whose stated goal for more than 100 years has been to provide a haven for women in need.
Ideally, explains Curp, HUD will respond equipped with some sort of past precedent that would absolve the city and the Inn of alleged discrimination and make the lawsuit irrelevant.
"I think a lawsuit would be very much premature. ... Like I said, our first step is to talk to HUD and to make sure that between the both of us, we don't see any discrimination or compliance issues. If there's any chance of that ... after our review and a review by HUD, we will fix it to bring it into compliance," he says.
"As I sit here today, I can't imagine this situation hasn't been dealt with in the past. I'd be shocked if HUD hasn't dealt with this in another community and come up with a set of guidelines for us to follow."
A group of state lawmakers will hold a Town Hall-style meeting Thursday to discuss issues affecting African-American residents in Greater Cincinnati.
The Ohio Legislative Black Caucus is sponsoring the event, called The State of African Americans in Ohio. Among those attending are State Sen. Eric Kearney (D-North Avondale), State Rep. Dale Mallory (D-West End) and State Rep. Alicia Reece (D-Bond Hill).
As we head back to work and school today after the holiday break, Barack Obama's inauguration as president is just two weeks away. The much-promised and long-anticipated change is almost upon us, and we'll finally get what we've been hoping for after "catching the car" we were chasing.
Just a few weeks after leaving office, ex-Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner is trying to raise awareness about a political action committee (PAC) she helped create while campaigning last year for the U.S. Senate nomination.
Courage PAC is designed to increase grassroots advocacy and citizen activism on several issues, and perform a watchdog role on Ohio government now that Republicans fill most statewide offices.
The good news first: Most of HB 194 is being repealed. It's good to see Republicans follow the advice of Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted, a moderate Republican who called or the repeal of HB 194 earlier this year.The bad news: Some new limits on voting rights are going to remain in place, and the entire repeal process, which involves the passing of SB 295, might be unconstitutional.
While it's good to see HB 194 repealed, it's not the only voting law Republicans enacted last year. The Ohio legislature also passed HB 224, which prohibited voting the Saturday, Sunday and Monday before election day.For Democrats, this poses a bit of a problem. Democrats are happy to see most of the restrictions on voting repealed, but they want to see all of the restrictions repealed. If SB 295 passes, Democrats worry that the rest of the restrictions won't be repealed because Republicans will think they have done enough.
Even the Obama team spoke on this issue. In an email to Obama supporters Tuesday, Greg Schultz, the Ohio State Director on the Obama team, urged voters to speak up: "This bill could mean an end to our last three days of early voting this November — and would change the rules, right in the middle of an election year. It's an unambiguous attack on our voting rights."The other problem is the repeal could be unconstitutional. After HB 194 passed, voters were quick to speak out against the new law and put it up for referendum in the November 2012 ballot. So Republicans are repealing a law that is already up for referendum. This is the first time that's happened in the Ohio legislature, and Democrats claim it might be unconstitutional.

Per Josh Looney's Twitter Page:
In addition to Cottam landing on IR, Chiefs release WR Mark Bradley and sign 6th round pick WR Quinten Lawrence -
The team also resigned 6th round draft draft pick, Quinten Lawrence. Lawrence was released on Saturday to make room for G Darryle Harris on the active roster.
Bradley had been given every opportunity to seize a starting role but never really came through. He would often disappear for entire games and was plagued by drops all season.
Bradley had 24 receptions for 320 yards and 2 touchdowns this season for the Chiefs. He also completed two passes for 20 yards. His most memorable play as a Chief perhaps, came last season when he threw a touch down pass to then starting QB Tyler Thigpen.
We wish Mark the best and thanks for the memories.

St. John's, NL – Andy Miele scored to take sole possession of 15th place in Pirates history with 136 points, but it was not enough as the Pirates fell 3-1 to the St. John's IceCaps in the first game of their three game series. Mark Visentin made 37 saves in the defeat.
The Pirates were unable to capitalize on 3 power plays in the first period, including 1:04 of 5 on 3 action, but kept the IceCaps off the board as well, killing St. John's only man advantage.
The IceCaps struck early in the second. After killing a carryover penalty from the first, Adam Lowry's shot got past Mark Visentin just1:03 into the second, giving St. John's a 1-0 lead. A possible tying goal by the Pirates was waived off by referee David Banfield 7:57 into the period after incidental content by Darian Dziurzynski on Eddie Pasquale, leading to an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty against Dziurzynski. St. John's almost got a second goal on a Blair Riley shot, but Visentin made a brilliant save to rob Riley and keep the deficit at one. The second period ended just as the first period did, with the Pirates carrying over a power play into the third but this time trailing by a goal.
The IceCaps struck again in the third with Brenden Kichton slipping the puck past Visentin through the 5 hole goal with 17:09 left in regulation Just under 10 minutes later, Andy Miele struck for the Pirates. Miele's 14th goal of the year with 7:20 left in regulation cut the deficit to 1 and ended Pasquale's bid at a shutout. Brandon McMillan picked up the assist on the goal. With the goal, Miele passed Pirates Hall of Famers Martin Gendron and Ryan Mulhern for 15th all time in points with the Pirates with 136, and put him just 2 points back of Hall of Famer Chris Jensen for 14th all time.
However, Miele's goal was not enough as Jerome Sampson scored on the breakaway just 1:50 later, giving the IceCaps a two goal advantage they would not relinquish. The Pirates penalty kill again shined in the defeat, killing all 6 penalties assessed to the Pirates, but the Pirates' power play failed to score on 6 opportunities. Mark Visentin drops to 9-11-2 on the year despite his 37 saves.

Swarthmore Mountain Justice is a student organization committed to fighting for climate justice. We are currently working in concert with over 100 other student organizations and national partners to move our universities' endowments out of the fossil fuel industry. We are calling on Swarthmore College to divest from its current holdings in sixteen fossil fuel companies, or the "Sordid Sixteen." These companies violate countless health, safety, and environmental regulations, the burdens of which are usually borne by low-income communities and communities of color. The fossil fuel industry is also one of the primary culprits of the climate crisis and corrupts our political system with incredible financial power. A large-scale divestment movement not only cuts into that financial power, but it also affects these companies on a political and moral level.
In addition to our on-campus organizing, Swarthmore Mountain Justice strives to work in solidarity with communities on the frontlines of fossil fuel extraction, burning, transportation, and waste. We refuse to stand by while our school invests in the destruction of communities and regions through mountaintop removal, the tar sands, hydrofracking, deep sea oil drilling, coal exportation, and other forms of destructive fossil fuel extraction. It is time for Swarthmore to become a true leader in the struggle for climate justice. Swarthmore has the opportunity to take a bold stand for a just and sustainable future by refusing to support the very companies that are destroying that future. Join with us in calling on all United States colleges and universities to divest for our future!

A Letter from Ken Hechler, Class of 1935
To President Rebecca Chopp,
My fellow Alumni,
and the entire Swarthmore Community:
Since I was graduated from Swarthmore in 1935, I have lived a long life of dedication to the common good. I served in the United States Army during WWII, nine terms in Congress and was the only Congressman to march with Martin Luther King, Jr. in Selma, Alabama, I then served four terms as the Secretary of State of West Virginia. Since the early 70's I have actively campaigned against the coal mining method of mountaintop removal, which is devastating the environment and economy of my adopted home state of West Virginia.
I firmly believe that Swarthmore instilled in me this passion for justice. It was clear when I was a student that social justice, responsibility and stewardship were core tenets of the college's institutional mission. At the Quaker institution reputed for its activism, I learned to fight for what is right. I have been pleased to see this characteristic of the college still exists. In her inaugural address, President Chopp reaffirmed this mission, noting that "Swarthmore College is blessed by its deeply rooted commitment to educate, to set anew, and set aright."
Today, students at Swarthmore are living up to the college's mission by fighting the injustices of the fossil fuel industry. Societal reliance on fossil fuels is an environmental, economic, and racial injustice. Though pollution and climate change affect us all, poor communities and communities of color suffer the severest impacts. One just has to look at the damage of hydrofracking in Western Pennsylvania, mountaintop removal mining in Southern West Virginia and the oil spill in the Gulf. Some of these areas are home to Swarthmore students and their families. Despite the sobering evidence of the destructive impact of extraction, Swarthmore is invested in many fossil fuel companies. Having seen and experienced the impact of mountaintop removal mining in West Virginia, I believe that these investments are unconscionable.
For over a year now, student activists have been calling on the college to divest from fossil fuel companies. I am writing to tell you it cannot be the sole job of students to advocate for the common good. To truly be a social justice institution, Swarthmore must practice what it preaches: it is time for President Chopp and the Board of Managers to live up to Swarthmore's founding ideals and historic principles by ending its investments in unjust and harmful fossil fuel companies.
When President Chopp was inaugurated, she asked, "Can there be any doubt that we must do all we can to sustain the beauty of this good earth?" At the moment, Swarthmore is not doing all that it can. It is my hope that it will as it moves away from investments in coal, oil, and natural gas, permanently cutting ties to industries that are destroying individuals, communities, and our "Good Earth" itself.
At this writing, I will begin withholding donations to Swarthmore until I am assured my money is not indirectly contributing to MTR mining or other fossil fuel extraction, and therefore the destruction of my home. Since the voice of conscience raised by the students is not enough to spur change, perhaps this financial pressure will be.
I hope all other alumni will join me in this withholding of donations. You know that together our voices will be heard. Together, we can ensure that Swarthmore returns to the just and sustainable institution we once admired.

Thanks, Ken, for understanding the long-range damage coal companies are doing to our mountains and their beauty, the residents who have resulting toxins in their waters and the wildlife that disappear.
Keep it up, Ken. You are absolutely right and I and countless Americans are right behind you.

Great letter. Congratulations to Swarthmore Mountain Justice. Swarthmore needs to divest now.–John McDiarmid '68
May 7, 2014 11:41 pm
Thanks to all the students who are pricking our consciences! There are many alumni who feel the same way that Deborah Averill and John McDiarmid do–we want the College to divest from fossil fuel investments!
If you are an alumn and you feel strongly about this, please contact me at:
email@example.com. Please state your year of graduation. I'll let you know what some of us plan to do to put a little pressure on the College.

I just posted this to the Swarthmore College Bulletin Facebook page:
At Swarthmore I learned to attempt to change things that I don't like; that is part of our alma mater's long Quaker tradition.
Not only did I learn a lot at Swarthmore, but I met my beloved wife of 46+ years, Gail (Sise). I feel that I owe a lot to our college.
Recently I learned that Swarthmore has investments in fossil fuel suppliers. Indeed, its huge endowment is apparently not screened for immoral investments such as arms manufacturers and tobacco.
Although I had the importance of ethical behavior reinforced at Swarthmore (at the cost of 30 work hours!), Gail and I find this sort of investment policy to be unethical.
Furthermore, investments in fossil fuels is probably unwise from a financial standpoint. As governments realize the harm that burning fossil fuels causes to the environment and to the climate, it is likely that these investments will become less valuable.
We are just two voices, but I know that there are others out there who share our concerns. I have four suggestions.
1. Write on this Facebook page how you feel about our College's investment policy.
2. Pressure the Swarthmore College Bulletin to carry an article about screening of investments and divestment of investments in fossil fuel developers.
3. Put pressure on the Board of Managers. Although there are various ways to do this, we plan to write each Board member a letter about these concerns. We also plan to withhold our planned donation to celebrate our 50th reunion until we know that the Board is making progress toward screening its investments and divesting fossil fuel investments.
4. We are not alone! Learn about and support Swarthmore Mountain Justice (http://swatmountainjustice.wordpress.com/) We older grads can learn from current Swarthmore students!
Richard Grossman, '65
Congratulations for following your consciences and for being activists!
May 4, 2014 12:46 am
Back in July 2013 I sent a letter to President Chopp and the members of the Board of Managers, letting them know that I will not contribute to the College until a plan is put in place to divest from the fossil fuel industries. The response I received from President Chopp basically said that the College is continuing the holdings in the fossil fuel companies in order to be able to exercise "shareholder activism." I believe that this is simply an excuse to avoid the complexities that might be involved in finding (e.g. in holdings such as mutual funds) and in replacing these investments with socially responsible ones. As an alum of generational Quaker background, this is especially troubling for me.
Thanks, students of Mountain Justice, for taking a stand on this issue. There are lots of us out here who are with you.

A Goodyear man who pleaded guilty to killing his grandmother last year by beating her with a shovel and slitting her throat has been sentenced to 25 years in prison.
Jason Eric Howell, 40, also was sentenced on Tuesday to lifetime supervised probation, Maricopa County prosecutors said.
He pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in May and also pleaded guilty to child abuse and aggravated assault charges in another case.
Prosecutors said Howell killed 78-year-old Helen Lee, of Goodyear, and left her body in the desert near Gila Bend. She was reported missing on Oct. 30 and her body was found the following day in an area where Howell had led detectives to find additional evidence. She was identified by the Medical Examiner's Office based on dental records.
Prosecutors said Howell beat his grandmother with a shovel before slitting her throat. He was facing first-degree murder.
Howell was picked up as a person of interest but that changed Nov. 2 when he became the primary suspect and he was officially charged on Nov. 5 with Lee's murder and indicted Nov. 13.
Howell had lived at his grandmother's home in a gated community for the past three years. Police said there was visible damage to the garage and found evidence inside that indicated possible foul play.
Police said Lee might have been killed after investigators found indications of foul play at her home and evidence in the desert about 50 miles away.
In another incident, Howell climbed in a vehicle in a parking lot at Kyrene Del Cielo around 4:45 p.m. on Oct. 30. A 12-year-old girl who was inside the SUV was able to jump out as Howell began to drive away, said Chandler Police Detective Seth Tyler.
A Chandler police officer spotted the stolen vehicle traveling westbound on Ray Road and tried to get him to pull over around 54th Street.
Howell initially pulled into a parking lot but then rammed the police car and drove away, Tyler said. The officer chased him over Interstate 10 and into Phoenix to 50th Street, where Howell drove into a park, Tyler said. Howell rammed the police car a second time in the park before he was finally taken into custody.

Lots of kids and teens have to cope with acne. It's a common part of puberty, but adults and preteens get it too. Because it's so common, acne is the subject of much discussion — and many myths. By clearing up some of the common tales about acne, you can help your son or daughter get through it!
Fact: Even though a tan may temporarily cover the redness of acne, there's no evidence that having tanned skin helps to clear up acne. People who tan in the sun or in tanning booths or beds run the risk of developing dry, irritated, or even burned skin. They're also at increased risk of premature aging and developing skin cancer.
Encourage kids to keep skin safe by wearing protective clothing, hats, and sunglasses when outdoors. They should also wear a sunscreen with a sun protection factor (or SPF) of at least 30 that's labeled "noncomedogenic" or "nonacnegenic," which means the product won't clog pores. Discourage the use of tanning beds or booths, even for special occasions such as proms or vacations. Ask your doctor whether a sunless tanning product would be a better alternative.
It's especially important for kids who use prescription acne medications (including oral contraceptives, which are often prescribed to help clear up acne) to stay out of the sun and away from tanning beds. These drugs can make skin extremely sensitive to sunlight and the rays from ultraviolet tanning booths.
Fact: Hygiene isn't related to the development of acne, either. Washing the face each day gets rid of dead skin cells, excess oil, and surface dirt, but too much cleansing or washing too vigorously can lead to dryness and irritation — which can actually make acne worse.
Dermatologists usually recommend gently washing — not scrubbing or rubbing — the face no more than twice a day with a mild cleanser and patting the skin dry. Kids should steer clear of harsh exfoliants or scrubs, which can actually irritate blemishes. In addition, toners containing high concentrations of alcohol can dry out the skin and should be avoided.
Fact: Though popping a pimple may make it seem less noticeable temporarily, popping can cause the zit to stay around longer. Popping a pimple pushes bacteria from the zit further into the skin, making the area around the acne even more reddened and inflamed. Pimple-popping devices — such as "blackhead extractors" advertised in magazines — aren't any safer. Sometimes, popping a pimple will cause a brown or red scar to form that could last months; and scars, in the form of dents and pits, can last forever.
If your child is bummed because a huge zit arrived just in time for a special event, a apply a dab of benzoyl peroxide gel to dry it. A dermatologist may also be able to recommend treatments for a teen with severe scarring.
Fact: Kids don't have to forego cosmetics as long the products used are labeled noncomedogenic or nonacnegenic, which means they won't cause breakouts. Some concealers now contain benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid, which help to fight acne. Tinted acne-fighting creams may also help to fight pimples while hiding them.
However, if any product seems to be irritating the skin or causing breakouts, have your child stop using the product and call your dermatologist.
Cosmetics labeled "organic," "all natural," or those containing herbs have gained popularity, but they may contribute to clogged pores and acne, so it's best for kids who are prone to breakouts to steer clear of them.
Teen boys who have acne and shave can use either safety or electric razors, but should shave lightly around blemishes to avoid nicking the skin and causing irritation and infection.
Fact: When it comes to over-the-counter acne medication containing active ingredients such as benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid, more isn't better. Using too much medication can actually worsen acne because it leads to dryness, irritation, and more blemishes.
But kids can get help for acne. A dermatologist can suggest acne treatments if your child:
Prescription acne medication may take up to 8 weeks to have a noticeable effect, so remind kids to use the medication exactly as directed. If the acne doesn't improve within 6 to 8 weeks, talk to the dermatologist.

Russian punk collective Pussy Riot have filmed a hard-hitting online video, in which they set fire to images of Vladimir Putin and thank Madonna and Bjork for their support, while abseiling down a building.
Three of the bandmates are currently serving a two-year prison sentence for hooliganism after performing an anti-Putin track at a Moscow church and two others have fled the country, fearing they'll be tracked down for their roles in the band -- but supporters are now carrying the torch.

Delivering a message to their supporters in English with heavy Russian accents, the masked fans state, "We've been fighting for the right to sing, to think, to criticize, to be musicians and artists ready to do everything to change our country. No matter the risks, we go on with our musical fight in Russia."
And they claim their country is "dominated by evil men," adding, "These men think it's illegal to call yourself a feminist, to sing punk music. These men think it's illegal to stand up for the rights of the gay and lesbian community. These men think that you can't criticize your government. These men think that if you sing and dance in an inappropriate way, you get two years in prison."
Also: Pussy Riot: No regrets despite prison sentence
The video, obtained by NME.com, also features a thank you to the celebrities who are supporting the three jailed members of the group and demanding their immediate release. The fans state: "Thank you Madonna, thank you Red Hot Chili Peppers, thank you Bjork, thank you Green Day ... Thank you to all musicians, activists and everyone around the world who have stood up together to fight for our right to be free."

About Svelte by CalNaturale:They are a third-generation family business with roots in farming and still located in Northern California. Their goal is to improve health and wellness with the best-tasting, most nourishing foods possible. By combining the finest all-natural ingredients, they create drinks that are nutritious and delicious.
History:California Natural Products, the parent company of CalNaturale Svelte, was founded by Pat Mitchell in 1980. CNP was originally a Research and Development company; Pat and his team did much of the early development work on the natural pre-biotic inulin, including several patents. CNP also created and patented many of the original organic rice syrup formulas and rice ingredients. To this day, CNP is one of the nation's largest purchasers of organic rice, and their innovative rice ingredients are found in hundreds of leading organic and natural products sold in every natural foods store and supermarket.
In the 1990's CNP built the nation's highest-quality aseptic processing plant and created the leading rice milk beverage along with many other products including the leading soy milks, chai teas, organic soups, broths, sports drinks and nutritional beverages. They also created the nation's leading hemp milk, which was awarded "product of the year" in the natural industry. These products were created for their contract customers and are marketed under the brands of those customers.
In 2009, they expanded this tradition of excellence with the introduction of their own brand, CalNaturale. To date they have introduced two branded product lines; CalNaturale Svelte, the sustained energy protein drink, and CalNaturale wine, the premium wine made from organically grown grapes. Through all of the years and innovations, the constant for us has been their commitment to highest quality with no compromises. They are also dedicated to creating only the finest organic and natural products which meet nutritional needs at an excellent value, while always providing delicious taste.
CalNaturale's Mission:Their mission is to improve the health and wellness of consumers by creating the best-tasting, nourishing and convenient foods at a great value, without compromising on quality or the environment.
Other Ingredients: Organic soymilk (filtered wate, organic soybeans), organic rice syrup solids, erythritol, organic dried cane syrup, organic inulin, organic black tea, vitamin and mineral blend (vitamin A palmitate, vitamin D2, Vitamin B12, Vitamin E, Vitamin B2, Calcium carbonate and zinc), organic gum acacia, organic guar gum, natural flavor, xanthan gum, organic spices, sea salt, Reb A (stevia extract).

Comments about Puppy Love Baby Costume:
The costume is cute, but it looks much more plush in the picture than it actually is. The ears appear to be thick and big, but in reality are just two strips of fabric that are not plush at all. The fabric of the body part of the costume is also pretty thin. He'll have to wear something underneath it to keep warm. Overall, not a bad costume but not exactly as it appears.

Originally developed for the Amiga, Babylonian Twins never made it to market but found life nearly 17 years later on the App Store. This platformer that has you swapping between two different characters, each with different abilities, in order to solve the many puzzles and progress through the game. It's a lengthy and satisfying trip too, and currently you can grab the iPad version for free for the first time ever.
Haven't tried the game yet, but for the video I saw it seems fun. And for now it's free, so you really can't complain.

Meeting will help locals seek government contractsJune 15,2013MANCHESTER The Vermont Procurement Technical Center will host a free System for Award Management, or SAM, workshop on June 20 from 1 to 4:30 p.m. at the Manchester Town Hall.
The SAM is the primary database for vendors doing business with the federal government because it streamlines processes and increases efficiency by eliminating the need to enter the same data multiple times.
This hands-on workshop is designed to help new and existing companies understand the SAM registration and account creation process. The workshop will provide individual assistance to migrate former Central Contractor Registration to SAM account activation and updates.
Registration for the free workshop can be done online at: http://vtptac.ecenterdirect.com or by contacting Ed Williams, the Vermont Procurement Technical Center procurement counselor, by phone at 885-3061 or email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Nice to see Lamar County with two representatives on the watch list, but I think you should add two more. Lance and Lawrence Austin are just juniors and already have received scholarship offers from The University of North Carolina, as well as some smaller schools. They play RB and DB.

Juan Foster rushed for 1600 yards as a sophomore and had 600 as a junior before breaking his leg in the fifth game of the season. Vidalia was 5-0 when he went down and finished 6-4. Nic McBride was at Vidalia last season, where his dad is an assistant. Nic is 6′2″, 205, and 4.5, a terrific all-around athlete. Other Indians to look at are defensive end Cole Johnson, 6′6″, 230, fullback Rashaad Thompkins, 6′2″, 230, Tight end Shawn Hunter, 6′2″, 244, offensive tackle Kyle Gasper, 6′3″, 290, OT/DT Javar Daniels, 6′4″, 270, QB D.J.

Grant Haley from Lovett most likely is the player of the year. Wesleyan linebacker Griffin Bone should merit consideration. GAC quarterback Rafe Chapple (yes another one) and receiver Peter Whiteneck definitely will play at the next level.

Locke good high school from Taylor but undersized for an offensive lineman! Several more likely candidates else where.
August 7th, 2012
10:55 pm
When Juan Foster ran for 1600 yards two years ago, the last three games he played with a broken thumb and his hand in a cast. In the game where he broke his thumb the team doctors casted his hand and he returned to rush for over 100 yards that game, as well as over 100 yards in the next two games and he never fumbled. He is truly a tough kid, and thanks needs to go to the great doctors at Vidalia Orthopedic Dr. Scott and PA Bart Davis. Not many high school teams, especially at a public 2A high school, have that kind of support.

@ OLD VIKING BACKER . If you are a Viking backer, Why would you make this unintelligble comment about a great Viking player? Quote "Locke good high school from Taylor but undersized for an offensive lineman! Several more likely candidates else where." Zeb Locke made Taylor County Vikings OL of the year last season. He made the all region team and he made the all midddle Ga team. What is your purpose for this stupid comment?

Great Picks with Taylor County's Larry Mathews and Zeb Locke…Larry is under the radar but already has offers from WKU, Troy, and MTSU and will have all the big boys after him before the season is over…..Not sure of the above comments on Zeb Lock but I have coached 4 All-State OL at Taylor County and Locke is as good as those 4. He graded out at over 90% with over 30 pancakes as a Junior. He is 230 pound Guard in a wing T offense which is perfect size. Great Choice with both of these players. Great Blocker!

@ nate from detroit…Ferguson has moved to Coosa…according to the local paper, he is now eligible, but we'll have to see how well he does…Coosa's OL is nowhere near the size of Pepperell's. Already in pads the first day of eligibility – I thought GHSA rules say that every player must go through five days of "heat acclaimation" before they can put the pads on…I don't know – we'll have to wait and see…

After a serious injury last year, Rashaad Thompkins has proven he is a tough young man. His stats and ability to lead have been impeccable. Keep up the good work, your biggest fan.

What are the different types of dental implants? What are the different uses for implants?
Historically, there have been two different types of dental implants: (1) endosteal and (2) subperiosteal. Endosteal refers to an implant that is "in the bone," and subperiosteal refers to an implant that rests on top of the jawbone under the gum tissue. Subperiosteal implants are no longer in use today because of their poor long-term results in comparison to endosteal dental implants.
While the primary function of dental implants is for teeth replacement, there are areas in which implants can assist in other dental procedures. Due to their stability, dental implants can be used to support a removable denture and provide a more secure and comfortable fit. In addition, for orthodontics procedures, dental mini-implants can act as temporary anchorage devices (TADs) to move teeth to a desired position. These mini-implants are small and temporarily fixed to bone to aid in anchorage for teeth movement. They are subsequently removed after their function has been served.
Will I feel pain when getting a dental implant?
Comment on this
Dental implant surgery is usually performed under local anesthetic and therefore, no pain should be felt during the procedure. After the local anesthetic has worn off, the post-surgery discomfort will vary with each individual case. However, in general, most people will feel discomfort similar to a tooth extraction afterwards. This pain can be managed with over-the-counter pain medications such as ibuprofen (Advil) or acetaminophen (Tylenol).
What is the procedure for getting a dental implant?
Comment on this
During the planning stage, the dental surgeon will visually examine the site in the mouth where a dental implant is being considered as well as look at dental imaging studies (X-rays and CT scans). Once it has been established that a dental implant can be placed in the desired location, the patient will return for the actual surgery for dental implant placement.
At the implant placement appointment, the patient is usually given local anesthetic to numb the surgical area. With a special drill and tools, the dental implant (titanium post) is placed into the bone. The gum is sutured and the healing phase begins. Healing time depends greatly on the quality of bone present. Healing time is usually anywhere from 2 to 6 months. During this time, osseointegration should be taking place. Care must be taken to avoid placing any force or stress on the dental implant as it heals.
After the required healing period, the dental implant is tested to determine whether osseointegration was successful. Once this has been confirmed, a prosthetic component is connected to the dental implant via a screw. This component is called an "abutment." It will serve to hold the replacement tooth or "crown." The dentist will take an impression (mold) of this abutment in the mouth and have the implant crown custom-made to fit. The implant crown is either cemented on or secured with a screw to the abutment.
It should be noted that additional procedures may be required prior to the placement of an implant. Bone grafts are commonly performed if the quantity of bone is inadequate. In the situation in which an implant is to be placed in the maxilla (upper jaw) in the posterior region, the available amount of bone may be limited by the presence of the maxillary sinus. "Sinus augmentation" or "sinus lift" is performed to raise the sinus floor and graft more bone into the sinus. This will make more bone available to support a dental implant. "Ridge modification" is performed in locations where there is not enough bone present. "Ridge" is in reference to the jawbone that has no teeth. Bone or bone substitute is used to augment the ridge to achieve adequate bone for dental implant placement.

Canon EOS 600D review (Rebel T3i review)
Canon EOS 600D review - Design
From the front, and the Canon EOS 600D looks markedly similar to the 550D, with a few subtle aesthetic design tweaks to keep the camera looking fresh - the mode dial looks a lot more high-end for example, with finer grooves round the dial, while to the right of the lens mount, the body has also benefited from the addition of a rubberized grip.
Round the back, and the presence of the vari-angle screen has understandably altered the design of the rear. The hinging for the screen has been kept relatively flush with the body, but even so, but it does mean it's a touch fatter than the 550D. It's also a bit taller than the 550D, but it's only marginal, and though chunkier than a Compact System Camera, overall, the Canon EOS 600D is still a nice and compact DSLR.
With the extra space required for the vari-angle screen, the eye-sensor that was positioned just under the viewfinder on the 550D, has disappeared on the EOS 600D. To now cut the shooting info when you raise the camera to your eye, you have to hit the Display button, which has moved from sitting just above the screen at the rear on the 550D, has moved round onto the top plate in front of Mode dial on the EOS 600D. This isn't as much as a faff as it sounds, especially as the display blacks out automatically when you half depress the shutter button to focus. An Info button, allowing you to check peripheral camera information while shooting, and cycle through shooting info during playback, has replaced the Display button on the rear of the 550D.
The rest of the button placement on the rear of the camera remains virtually identical to that of the 550D, though to accommodate the vari-angle screen, the d-pad has shrunk a touch by comparison, while there's also a deeper and more pronounced thumb rest than before. So for button placement, to the right of the viewfinder, there's a Live View activation button (hit this in Movie mode to start recording), while further to the right is the Exposure lock and AF point selection buttons that double-up as your magnify tools during playback.
The Exposure compensation button also allows you to toggle between setting aperture and shutter speed in Manual mode, due to the single control wheel on the front of the camera. Just below it is a handy Quick menu button, letting you toggle through and adjust a range of shooting settings on the rear display, while the d-pad has dedicated settings for AF, Drive, White Balance and Picture Styles.
From the top, and the only noticeable change, as already mentioned, is the inclusion of the Display button and the refined grip round the Mode dial. The ISO button is conveniently positioned, and there's a subtle difference in feel between that and the Display button to reduce the risk of hitting the wrong one when you raise the camera to your eye. For existing EOS users, there shouldn't be any nasty surprises, while new users should experience an intuitive and quick to use interface that's been evolving for almost 10 years.
While there's no denying that the Canon EOS 600D has been put together to a high standard, the smooth, matt exterior does feel quite plasticky however. That said, the more well-defined handgrip and thumb rest offer a comfortable grip, while the more pronounced textured rubber finish applied are a welcome progression from the 550D.
