Answer: Some general safety rules when in lab are to cover up. You should wear goggles, gloves, long pants, and no open toed shoes. You should even invest in a lab coat for added protection. You should know your surroundings, such as where the open shower is as well as the fire extinguisher. (b) (1 pts) Briefly discuss the importance of safety in the chemistry lab, and why it is important to know the location of safety equipment in the lab. Answer: It is very important to know the location of safety equipment in the lab. If during the lab a fire were to break out, if you already know where the extinguisher is then you have a better chance of getting to it quickly and putting the fire out. It is also very important to be safe and not horseplay because that is how accidents can happen that could lead to an accident that may require the use of the fire extinguisher or the shower.

Facebook had an extraordinary year in 2010, bringing in $2 billion in revenue, being named best place to work and seeing Mark Zuckerberg named Time magazine's Person of the Year. One key strategy that drove that success, as Zuckerberg made clear when he announced Facebook Social Inbox, was that the company built a platform that adapted to its most active users.
Most teens find "tweeting" pointless — Morgan Stanley
Taking a break from flogging the latest tired media business model, Morgan Stanley published a short report on Friday entitled, "How Teenagers Consume Media" by 15-year-old summer intern Matthew Robson that offers a frank discussion of what young digital media consumers are up to. The FT has highlighted it on its front page, perhaps as an antidote to wall-to-wall coverage of the annual Sun Valley media moguls conference in recent days.

DELTON, MI – The mother of a 19-year-old Detroit man who drowned in 2009 at the Michigan Career and Technical Institute can proceed with her lawsuit against a lifeguard whose inaction could be viewed by a jury as the "most immediate, efficient and direct cause" of the drowning, a court has ruled.
Michigan Court of Appeals judges Patrick M. Meter and Douglas B. Shapiro issued a six-page opinion Tuesday affirming the 2012 ruling of a Barry County Circuit judge denying a motion by attorneys for William J. Harmon to dismiss a lawsuit filed by Theresa Beals on behalf of the estate of her son, William T. Beals. Appeals Judge Peter D. O'Connell dissented.
William Beals had been at MCTI for a week when he drowned May 19, 2009 while swimming with about two dozen other students at the facility at 11611 Pine Lake Road, near Delton. MCTI offers vocational training for adults with disabilities and is operated by the state of Michigan.
Beals, according to court documents, had autism and a learning disability.
Harmon, who was an employee and student at MCTI, was working as a lifeguard the day Harmon died and, according to the Court of Appeals opinion, students who were in the pool said Harmon was distracted and "spent much of his time talking to girls and playing with a football."
Beals, according to court documents, swam to the deep end of the pool, went underwater and never resurfaced. Another student, "after what is believed to be a period of approximately seven or eight minutes," noticed Beals underwater and brought him to the surface "after unsuccessfully and repeatedly calling for Harmon's attention," according to Meter and Shapiro's opinion.
After hearing the yells of the students in the pool, Harmon attempted CPR on Beals, who was later pronounced dead at Borgess-Pipp Hospital in Plainwell.
Beals' mother argued in her lawsuit that Harmon, despite his employment with MCTI, should not be granted governmental immunity because his actions amounted to gross negligence that was the proximate cause of Beals' death.
In response, Harmon and his attorneys sought dismissal of the lawsuit and argued "that reasonable minds could not conclude that he was the proximate cause of Beals' death."
Meter and Shapiro disagreed. Their opinion said there was no evidence presented that Beals, who was described as a capable swimmer, did anything to violate pool rules or that he endangered his own life by acting negligently.
They also noted previous testimony of a professional aquatics safety and water rescue consultant who found that Beals' death "could have been and should have been easily prevented."
"Harmon acted in a manner that could be found to be grossly negligent," the judges wrote. "There is evidence that ... Harmon was 'distracted,' talking to girls and throwing a ball in the air, when he should have been focused on monitoring the pool and responding to persons in distress.
"Based on this evidence, it would be reasonable to conclude that, because of Harmon's gross negligence, he failed to notice Beals' distress and failed to respond appropriately ... Given the evidence presented, reasonable minds could conclude that Harmon's failure to intervene constituted the one most immediate, efficient, and direct cause of Beals' death."
In his dissenting opinion, O'Connell wrote that the facts "establish that defendant Harmon was not the most immediate, efficient, and direct cause of Mr. Beals' death."
While the appeals court affirmed the circuit judge's decision to allow the suit against the lifeguard to proceed, it reversed the lower court's decision to deny a motion by the state that it be dismissed from the lawsuit. The case will now go forward in Barry County against the lifeguard, but not the state.

Emerson chastised for defying board consensus
Island County Commissioner Kelly Emerson was scolded by her fellow commissioners Monday for taking action as chairwoman that conflicted with an informal but majority decision by the board.
The heaviest hand slap came not from Commissioner Helen Price Johnson, a South Whidbey Democrat, but from fellow Republican Commissioner Jill Johnson.
Johnson told Emerson that she serves as chairwoman for one simple reason, and that if she doesn't shape up fast, that reason will change her mind about who is the right person to lead the board.
"You're chair by my grace. You're chair by my vote," Johnson said.
"I'm putting you on notice right now that if there is any further action taken outside the direction of this board, where you act independently against the majority wishes of this body, you will no longer be chairman of Island County."
Emerson responded by calling the threat an attempt at "censoring and silencing" a minority voice on the board, an action she characterized as "disgusting in the United States of America."
She also asserted that there was "never" a previous consensus by the board that made her action inappropriate, and that, if there had been, she would have made her objections known.
"This is pathetic," Emerson said. "I am embarrassed by this board and the way it carries on. We owe the people of Island County better than this and we should give it."
The squabble revolves around a series of public meetings about a proposed law and justice levy. The board agreed during a June 12 work session to get community feedback before moving forward with the measure by holding a meeting in each of the three commissioner districts.
A recording of the meeting reveals a very informal decision for each meeting to be attended by just one commissioner, the representative from that district.
The intention, the board stated, was to avoid any legal problems that might arise from a quorum of the board attending and discussing an issue that may be the subject of a future vote by the board of commissioners.
The conflict surfaced after Emerson independently authorized and distributed a special meeting notice last week. That notice informed the public that two or more county commissioners would be attending the meeting in Oak Harbor, creating a quorum.
When Johnson learned that Emerson planned to attend, she cancelled and the notice was rescinded.
Emerson was the only commissioner to attend that meeting.
Johnson said Monday she was disappointed by the outcome.
Johnson said she has been advocate and voice for moving the discussion forward and couldn't even attend her own district's meeting because Emerson took matters into her own hands.
"You, as the chair, took it upon yourself to sign a document that you had no authority to sign," Johnson said.
"My trust in you is broken because you didn't honor the intention of a three-person board."
Price Johnson also rebuked Emerson, saying she did not voice any objections to the plan and the taped conversation is available for review.
"Clearly, you are misremembering that conversation," Price Johnson said.
"One of us is," Emerson responded to Price Johnson.
Johnson, who replied with, "Two actually."
According to the recordings of the June 12 meeting, Emerson did not voice any objections to the plan, though a formal vote was never taken.
Price Johnson went on to say that while this about procedure and not policy, she believes the chairperson is responsible for carrying out the consensus of the board, regardless of their personal feelings on the matter.
"I want to hear, at what point you feel don't have to do that as chair?" Price Johnson asked.
"None of it makes any sense to me at all," Emerson said. "I don't remember anything the way you two are saying."
Emerson went on to ask Price Johnson if she had anything more to say, but Johnson pointed out that Emerson had not answered Price Johnson's question.
"I just did," Emerson said.

Play Twister for Summer Fun
I just found a very fun old commercial (1992) for the original game of Twister. This is classic family summer fun. If you have never played Twister, all you really need to know is that you spread the Twister mat on the floor or lawn and spin the spinner. Whichever color and body part it lands on is what you have to do. You know.. "right hand on red, left foot on blue". But we were able to find the Official Twister Rules so play away and have fun!
Official Twister Rules
Setting up the Game
- Spread the mat faceup on a flat surface, indoors or outdoors.
- Players take off their shoes and set them aside. If you're playing outdoors, you may want to anchor the mat corners with your shoes.
- Designate an extra person as the referee. The referee is not considered a player; during the game, the referee will spin the spinner, call out the moves, and monitor the game play.
- Position yourselves on the mat according to the number of players, as explained below.
For a 2-player game: Players face each other from opposite ends of the mat, near the word Twister. Place one foot on the yellow circle and the other foot on the blue circle closest to your end of the mat. Your opponent does the same on his or her end.
For a 3-player game: Two players face each other on opposite ends of the mat, near the word Twister. Each player places one foot on the yellow circle and the other foot on the blue circle closest to his or her end of the mat. The third player faces the center from the red-circle side of the mat, placing one foot each on the two middle red circles.
How to Play
The referee spins the spinner, then calls out the body part and the color that the arrow points to. For example, the referee may call out: "Right hand, red." All players, at the same time, must then try to follow the referee's directions as explained below.
- Each player must try to place the called-out body part on a vacant circle of the called-out color. For [example, if the referee calls out "Right hand, red," each player must try to place a right hand on any vacant red circle.
- If your called-out hand or foot is already on a circle of the called-out color, you must try to move it to another circle of the same color.
- There can never be more than one hand or foot on any one circle. If two or more players reach for the same circle, the referee must decide which player got there first. The other player(s) must find another vacant circle of the same color.
- Never remove your hand or foot from a circle unless you're directed to by the referee after a spin. Exception: You may lift a hand or foot to allow another hand or foot to pass by, as long as you announce it to the referee beforehand, and replace it on its circle immediately afterward.
- If all 6 circles of a color are already covered, the referee must spin again until a different color can be called out.
Strategy: Try moving toward an opponent's portion of the mat, forcing the player to go over or under you to place a hand or foot!
Being Eliminated
Any player who falls, or touches the mat with an elbow or knee, is immediately out of the game. (If you feel that a new position is impossible, or will cause you to fall, you may elminiate yourself.)
In a 2-player game, the game ends and the remaining player wins. In a 3-player game, the remaining two players keep playing until one player is eliminated and the remaining player wins.
How to Win
The last player left in the game is the winner!
Team Play
For a 4-player game, form 2 teams of 2 players each. Teams face each other on opposite ends of the mat, standing side-by-side with each foot on a circle so that all 4 circles closest to the Twister name are covered.
Just as in a 2- or 3-player game, the referee spins the spinner and calls out a hand or foot and a color circle. Play as in the 2- or 3-player game, with this exception: members of the same team can cover the same circle with one hand or foot each.
As soon as a player falls or touches the mat with an elbow or knee, the player's team is eliminated and the other team is the winner.
2-Player Game with No Referee
If there are only 2 players and no referee, you can play without using the spinner. One player calls out the body part; the other player calls out the circle color. Players alternate turns calling out the body part first. Otherwise, game play is the same, with the last remaining player the winner.
Party Games
Round Robin: Form several 2-player teams. Each team, in turn, plays every other team. Players keep track of wins and losses. The team with the most wins wins!
Elimination Game: Form several 2-player teams. Play against each other, with losing teams dropping out. Winning teams play each other until only one winning team is left!

A Great Beat the Heat Treat – Peach Gelato Ice Cream!
Everyone is trying to beat the heat this time of year. What better way to do that than to eat ice cream! Here is a great recipe for making ice cream without an ice cream maker.
This ice cream recipe doesn't need an ice cream maker. You can prepare it with the help of your freezer. It is a great summer time treat to keep everyone cool.
- 3 cups sliced peeled peaches
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 cups whole milk
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 4 egg yolks, beaten
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 tablespoon peach schnapps liqueur, optional
- Place peaches and water in a large skillet; cook, uncovered, over medium heat until tender. Place in a food processor; cover and process until blended. Set aside.
- In a small saucepan, heat milk to 175°; stir in sugar until dissolved. Whisk a small amount of the hot mixture into egg yolks. Return all to the pan, whisking constantly. Cook and stir over low heat until mixture is slightly thickened. Remove from the heat. Cool quickly by placing pan in a bowl of ice water; stir for 2 minutes.
- Stir in the cream, peaches and liqueur if desired. Press waxed paper onto surface of custard. Refrigerate for several hours or overnight.
- Here is how to make ice cream in your freezer, if you don't have the ice cream maker:
- Combine the ingredients for your ice cream mixture following the recipe. Chill the mixture over an ice bath. Meanwhile, freeze an empty freezer-safe shallow bowl or pan. Stainless steel works well for this.
- Place the cold mixture into the cold pan.
- Chill for about 20 minutes and check your ice cream. As the edges start to freeze, stir the mixture rapidly with a whisk or spatula to break up the partially frozen ice cream. This will help make it smooth and creamy. You cannot over-beat. Return to the freezer.
- Stir ice cream vigorously every 30 minutes until it is firmly frozen. This may be repeated 4 to 5 times until mixture is smooth and creamy. If ice cream becomes too hard, place it into the refrigerator until it becomes soft enough to beat and continue the process.
- Ripen the ice cream by storing it in a covered freezer container until ready to serve.
Creative Ways to Spend Your Summer
Courtesy of: The Dollar Stretcher
The fun of summer has just about worn off with the thermometer rising and your family being bored with the same old grind. Here are some suggestions to keep you and your family active without breaking the bank:
- Encourage your family to whip up recipes that will keep you satisfied without heating up the whole house. If you have a favorite frozen treat, figure out how to make it at home. Dig out that old ice cream maker and enjoy a wonderful indulgence. Find a new chicken salad recipe or try your hands at gazpacho. Have your helpers track down the ingredients in your refrigerator while you supervise from the chaise lounge.
- Too tired to cook? Then try a melon and cheese plate with some cold cuts, along with bread sticks. Use your cookie cutters and make funny looking peanut butter and jelly sandwiches along with some carrot sticks and yogurt. Don't forget to add lots of water to cool everyone off.
- Grab a basket or even a takeout bag and go on a picnic. The park down the street might be a grand venue, or you can try a spot at the lake or beach. Cruise on over to the next town and try out a spot that's new to you. Take along some flying disks, balls, and a blanket, but don't invite the ants!
- Be a tourist in your own town. Is there a famous attraction you've never seen? What about the museum or the zoo? Botanical gardens are a nice change of pace for those of us with hectic lives. Even a factory tour can provide you with a glimpse of your home turf that you've never seen before.
- Just because school is out doesn't mean you and your family stop learning. Pick a theme for the month and incorporate different aspects into your routines. Maybe you have always wanted to learn how to speak a foreign language, but never got around to it. It's never to late to learn anything. For example, if you've always wanted to learn Japanese, find some language tapes, cook up some examples of Japanese cuisine, and look for references that will illustrate the daily lives of the people whose culture you are studying.
- The library usually offers more than books. Your local library might offer story times and activities, reading circles for different ages, movies, CDs, puzzles, games, and Internet access for multiple users (very handy if Junior is tying up your home computer all day long with his games or monster-sized music downloads).
- Work on a do-it-yourself project together. Don't do anything too extreme, hazardous, or difficult. Instead, maybe you can work on rearranging a room. Maybe you all are getting tired of the way the family room looks. Jot down ideas for easy refits, including making new throw pillows, updating the lighting in the room, decluttering the place, and picking colors for new slipcovers. Or maybe you can make a simple piece of furniture together, like a shelving unit. Allow your family to pick out the colors and design while you put it together and paint it.
- Go to the family spa. Even males like to be pampered sometimes. Pick out the fluffiest towels you have, heat up your robes in the dryer, and encourage everyone to do some massaging of the face and shoulders, followed by an easy spa lunch of salad and fruit and smoothies. After the light meal, it's time for nail grooming for the males and manicures with yummy colors for the ladies.
- Pick one day of each month to be "Give Back Day." On that day, try to do an activity that appeals to you and enhances your community. Find things to recycle, like newspaper, glass, and plastic. Take donations of gently used clothing, household items, and toys to the thrift shop or family shelter. Help an elderly neighbor or relative run their errands. Pick up trash at the park. Volunteer somewhere.
- Designate a movie night. Do a double feature and let your crew pick out two movies or be ambitious and run a whole marathon. Pop up a lot of popcorn, offer a variety of snacks and drinks, and let your family invite some friends over. As an alternative, try out some board or card games instead of movies.
- Take turns introducing your hobbies or your music to each other. Even though you might not be into the latest girl diva or collectible card games, you might be surprised to find that your child has a deep interest in something you can both share. Bring out your disco records and baseball cards. Your kid just might understand you, too.
- Start a family journal. The dog days of summer run away all too quickly, so take the time at least once a week to jot down what you did during each month. The family journal will help you plan next year's activities, too. Along with the good times, you can document the downsides so you don't repeat activities that were definite bombs. Let everyone take part in making entries and don't be afraid to stick in a few pictures, even the scary ones! Use a paper journal or even a notebook left over from school or find an online journaling site.
- Have "Do Nothing Time" each week. It's hard to juggle multiple hats in a family and everyone needs time to recuperate from all that fun. Send the kids to their rooms with firm instructions to relax, then be sure to plop down on that chaise lounge with a big glass of iced tea and something delicious to read. You deserve to be on vacation, too.
Read the Declaration of Independence with family and friends this 4th of July
On July 4, Americans gather to celebrate our nation's Independence at family gatherings, backyard barbecues, and firework displays. Often we do this without thinking of the meaning of this uniquely American holiday.
John Adams, one of the founders of our new nation, said, "I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward for evermore."
Independence Day was first celebrated in Philadelphia on July 8, 1776. In 1941, Congress declared July 4 a legal public holiday.
On July 4, Americans gather to celebrate our nation's Independence at family gatherings, backyard barbecues, and firework displays. Often we do this without thinking of the meaning of this uniquely American holiday. For too long – from our classrooms to the halls of Congress – our Founders, the Declaration, and our Constitution have been forgotten or even willfully ignored.
This 4th of July, Hillsdale College wants you to join with your friends, family, and neighbors – and actually read the Declaration of Independence. This can be the largest-ever public reading of the Declaration in American history! They want hundreds of thousands, even millions, of Americans setting aside a few minutes to remember the legacy of liberty our Founders entrusted to us.

VINELAND -- A South State Street resident reported Monday that his Suzuki ATV was stolen from his shed.
The burglary occurred sometime between 1:30 and 6:30 a.m.
The doors to the shed were pried open. A vent was also pried open, apparently to allow the burglar, or burglars, to look inside the shed prior to committing the burglary.
The ATV was rolled through a four-foot section of fencing that was toppled on the northeast corner of the victim's property.
The victim described the Suzuki ATV as a 2003 QuadSport 400 model, yellow in color. It is valued at $3,000.
Damage to the shed was estimated at $200. Damage to the fence was estimated at $100.

Silenty they go to the lobby. Not saying anything. The only sound they hear is Camel Toe say, "That's right B**** I am scaring the s*** out of you, leave now before I kick your ass." . They see Joko's back, facing towards them. She didn't say anything because she knew her family is right behind her.
Camel's face is inches away from Joko face. She looked over Joko's right shoulder and see's MJ up front of the line. She steps to the right and walks towards MJ. She took 2 steps towards MJ, but stops when she see Isft, Cynthia, Shweta, Jessie, Fru and Mel behind MJ. She takes a step back as they form a circle around Camel. Including Joko.
Camel is about 5'3, about 190 pounds over weight. Brown hair and brown eyes. She was wearing shorts 3 sizes too small. So her GUT is hanging over her shorts and a shirt that had a ugly yellow color, Maybe that is because of the Tuna. In her hair she still had some of the tuna in her hair. It looked like Ilike DeBals dressed her.
MJ takes one step towards her. Camel was about to talk but Cynthia got on the Mega Phone and said "QUIET!!! Don't say a WORD!!!" Camel Rolls her eyes back but doesn't say anything. MJ says. " Well I guess you didn't hear Joko when she told you to leave. That was your first warning. That is not a good thing to do with us. Mel could you get her bag for me please." Mel kicks Camel purse towards MJ's feet. MJ goes through it and says her home address out loud, her drivers license number, her social security number, and the place where she works. MJ puts everything back in her purse. "Now that we got some information on you, you better not do or say anything to us anymore if you know what is good for you. I know where you live. I WILL make YOUR life a Living HELL if you try to do anything to us. Get the F*** out of here if you know what is good for you. But before you leave Jessie lets take a Photo of her please." Jessie steps up to take a few pics.
Camel Toe takes her bag calls out for Tally Wacker Larry. Joko says, "Your loser hero ran out of here as soon as you started barking." Camel doesn't say anything and walks out to the doors but gets bumps into Ket who was bringing in supplies in for Rosie. Ket droped a large can of green hot massage oil. The can hit the floor and splashed all over Camel's face. Everyone started to laugh there ass off. Camel Toe SHREEKS out loud and stomps away.
The men can here the ladies laughing so they came out of hiding. Edward walks towards MJ and whispers to her ear. "MJ she is planing on coming back and try to destroy the show." MJ stops laughing and smiles at Edward. "OW really??? Good I was hoping on that b**** wasn't done barking. JESSIE!!!!! Come here please." said MJ. Jessie was telling Ket on what she missed. "Jessie I need to to go and the worst pic of the UGLY Camel toe, we are going to post her photo all over town saying LOOK OUT! WARNING there is a Gorilla Mask B**** that needs to get her ass back to the ZOO! Do not try to apprehend the SLUT or she will give you an STD just by looking at you. The best way is to Teaser the Monster. Then call this number 1-800-DIE SLUT!!!! Thank you!!!" Jessie is laughing the whole time. But writes down everything MJ told her.
"Thanks Jess! Ket! Where is Rosie?? I thought she was going to be here?" Asked MJ. "She was behind me but I think the monster mite of scared her off, no I see her coming."said Ket. Rosie was having a problem trying to carry her massage table inside. "Emmet please help Rosie with her things please." Said Cynthia. Rosie takes a look at Emmet and her jaw hit the floor. She picks it back up and enters the building. "WOW thanks for the help. Here, I got more things that need to be taken out." She takes her hand into her purse and grabs her keys and tosses them to Emmet.
"MJ you have to tell me why I saw a green covered girl that smells like Tuna running out of here? She was b******* about you MJ." MJ smiles big and says. "I will tell you all about it while we set up a massage table in my room. I want Edward to go to my room and help me relax, that B**** hit a nerve."
Rosie looks over MJ's shoulder and sees Edward, and says "SHIT I missed a lot haven't I?" Don't worry I will tell you all about it. Cynthia and Isft I am going to my room for a lunch break I trust you both to choose 4 more men please. I am going to take Edward to my room and make me relax. Edward! Come to room 304 in about 15 minutes. Please" MJ takes her bag and leaves the room and Rosie is following behind her........
15 minutes pass......
Knock Knock! "Come in Edward. Its open" shouted MJ. Edward enters the room and sees MJ lying face down on top of the massage table naked with a white towel laying over her butt. MJ face is turned toward Edward as he is walking in her room. "I hope you have magic fingers to get some of my tension out of me." Edward smiles and says. "I will do my best, I hope you don't mind my shirt is a little too big I will do better if I take it off. Do you mind??"
"NO I don't mind at all, as long as I get to watch you. If your pants are too big you can always take them off...... here let me help." MJ reaches over to undue his belt....... TO BE CONTINUED!!!!!!!!!

Donald Coley, 26, suffered multiple skeletal and visceral injuries after he was shot in the parking lot of the Marathon gas station at the intersection of East 55th Street and Woodland and Kinsman avenues ab out 2:30 a.m. Feb. 22, according to the Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner's Office.
The office officially ruled Coley's death a homicide Tuesday.
Police said a fight between Coley and another man escalated into gunfire. Officers in a nearby zone car heard the shots, and found a number of people around Coley's body.
The suspect fled after the shooting, and no arrests have been made, police said. Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to call police at 216-623-5464.
The anti-violence community group Peace in the Hood is planning a rally and vigil for Coley at Original Harvest Missionary Baptist Church, 7109 Kinsman Avenue. The vigil is scheduled to last from 4-6 p.m.
The gas station is no stranger to gunfire.
An 18-year-old man was shot and killed at the same gas station in October, and back in 2011, a 23-year-old man was shot eight times and survived. Both shootings occurred between 2:30 a.m. and 3 a.m.

Our possessions are more than mere objects. Our possessions tell our stories. They evoke memories. They become intertwined with our identities. Over the next few days, MLive will share the stories of possessions cherished by West Michigan residents.
Craig MacIntyre's most prized possession, a nameplate of his father's, is something he came across only by mere chance, while visiting his hometown of Bison, S.D.
MacIntyre, who has lived in West Michigan for several decades, drove back to his hometown in 1986 to revisit his roots. He encountered a man who stopped him, noting that in a small town where everyone knew everyone, MacIntyre did not look familiar.
He introduced himself and asked where MacIntyre was from.
When the man heard his last name, a light went off. MacIntyre?
The name is one he wouldn't forget.
Years earlier, in the 1940s, Craig MacIntyre's father, Dugald Wright MacIntyre, operated a clinic in Bison, where he worked as the only doctor.
"Doctors knew everyone in town," Craig MacIntyre said.
He learned his father had saved the man's life after he was bucked off a horse at the age of 13. The man took him to a barn where he handed him a piece of history — his father's nameplate from the clinic that operated in the 1940s. It hardly seemed possible that Craig MacIntyre would see it again. He knew of it only from photos of his past.
The man ended up with the nameplate years after the MacIntyre family moved away — to the Grand Rapids area where Dugald Wright MacIntyre in 1942 became a founding doctor of the Grand Rapids Osteopathic Hospital. The hospital has grown into what is now Metro Health.
Craig MacIntyre has few memories of his childhood in South Dakota. He was just a child when his father met a doctor who lived in the Grand Rapids area and was talked into coming to Michigan in the mid-1940s.
Much of what MacIntyre remembers are his years growing up in Grand Rapids and the small hospital located along Lake Drive east of Fuller Avenue.

Prized possessions photo essay
Craig MacIntyre recalls having his tonsils taken out around the same time his brother did in that hospital. The operating room was in the basement. He saw his brother being carried up after surgery as he was taken down.
"He was still out from the gas or whatever they gave him, so I thought they killed him," MacIntyre recalls, now able to laugh at the memory.
Dugald MacIntyre died in 1951 of a heart attack, less than a decade after moving to West Michigan. He was only 43.
The memories Craig MacIntyre hears from those who knew his father are a point of pride today — stories of the man's dedication and his genuine care for the work he did.
The nameplate, a piece of his father and of his family's history, is a possession he'll continue to cherish for years to come.

Putting together our listings section every month makes me think, a lot, about band names; and, more specifically, where they come from.
After several months of listing the band "Far Alpaca" -- and after walking by this stone bench-y thing on Lyman Street in Holyoke for about the six-thousandth time -- I finally unraveled the mystery behind another band-name origin.
Naturally, that lead to a discussion here in the office about other Valley bands/musicians named after local places and landmarks.
Off the top of our heads, there's:
National Carpet
Paper City's Finest
Ware River Club
Steve Westfield
Amity Front
Hadley Transfer Station
Ostrich Farm
Rosemary Caine (the Amherst College band, not the Celtic harp player)
Coleraine Road (a band that actually features Rosemary Caine, the Celtic harp player)
We're sure that we're missing a ton here -- if you can think of any more, please add to our list in the comments section.

To understand all the info above, check out our Site Facts Glossary.
Grades have no direct impact on the overall score.
Yes, I am still a big, big fan of the Kink sites and Whipped Ass has always been one of my absolute favorites! This site is all about hardcore femdom, S&M, ass spankings and plenty of torture, with tons of high quality images, full length videos, message boards and more for $29.85 per month. Basically its yet another quality Kink site that continues to torture & please it's members with consistent updates, super high quality, and more personality & satisfaction than is even expected from most pay sites these days. Simply put, it's a gem!
Large Archive of Exclusive Fetish Content.
This is an all girl-girl site, no games, no gimmicks, just real hardcore master and servant, hardcore S&M dominating and demeaning sexual sequences. If you like to play a little master and servant yourself then you will definitely get a kick in the pants from the content here; I always enjoy it! There is no doubt you will cum again and again right along with these girls as they get tied-up, tortured, roughed up, spanked, slapped and pounded by their sexy dictating female dominatrix. The best part? After almost 14 years of being online, there are more than 735 scenes to check out on this site alone.
Content Descriptions & Model Interviews Before/After Each Shoot.
There's so much real passion and personality here, you can't help but really get involved (and many users do, you should see the comments section!). Lengthy scene info is given for each shoot, and probably my favorite is the interview with the models before and then again after the shoot. It's amazing how their persona changes. How more open and expressive they become after some serious Bondage hardcore pleasure.
HD Quality Video Downloads.
That's right! Full-length (and clipped) video downloads offered in HD format for both Windows Media and MP4 formats. The quality is sharp, the specs are right on (1280x720). Best of all they're offered for most of the videos on this site and that's impressive (with an archive dating back to 2001). This is about the best you could hope for in terms of quality.
Many Viewing Options.
Flash format streams are available (in 3 quality options) and even with up to 75 minutes worth of video, jumping around is a cinch. Video scenes are offered in full-or as a series of clips in 2 file types and 2 quality formats for each (even iPod). Zips are available for the image sets and video trailers give users a preview of what the highlights are from each shoot.
Other Good Stuff:
No Network Access & Must Pay More For Live Cams.
Everything comes at a price at Whipped Ass, and with the Kink sites in general. I am of the mindset that it's totally worth it, but I can see how it may scare off potential users. This is such well-done content and probably the most genuine fetish content you're going to find online, and that's what you're paying for ultimately. However, a few nice perks like revolving additional site access to recurring users and one free cam show here and there would be a nice touch.
Minor Negatives:
You won't find better for exclusive extreme lesbian spanking scenes.
I just have to say, that I really love these sites! There's simply no other place that you will find such unique and well thought out/well executed content. The main limitation to Whipped Ass, as is with the same of the other sites, is the navigation & design. They do offer a search feature that lets you search the site by a model's name, or by all models alphabetically (which gives you a full bio as well as sexual perversions and limits), but not much else when it comes to navigating your way through their endless pages of content. But when it comes to the quality and everything else, the Kink sites (and Whipped Ass), just can't be beat! There is just no way you're not going to find this content, or anything that comes close to it, anywhere else. The quality is great as are the sensations you'll get while watching it. $29.85 is about average for site with as much unique and exclusive content as this and if you take one look at the site and are interested in what you see, I promise you won't be disappointed. Next time, though, I do hope to see greater strides towards higher quality and browse-ability to keep with todays' standards.

10 Football Stats You Probably Haven't Read Anywhere Else
Under David Moyes, have Everton ever beaten QPR? What is Liverpool's wining pct this season when Luis Suarez receives a yellow card? And what is Bayern Munich's greatest ever losing margin in a Champions League fixture? Today on the blog Barrie delivers 10 statistics for football fans and punters, that you probably haven't heard anywhere else.
Of the 35 sides David Moyes has faced during his 11-year tenure with Everton, Queens Park Rangers are the only club he has failed to beat. Following their promotion back to the Premier League, Moyes has drawn 2 and lost 1 of his 3 meetings against the Super Hoops.
The two sides meet at Goodison Park on 13 April where Moyes has a chance to complete the full set. Everton are currently odds of 1.35 to win.
Arsenal's 2-0 victory over Bayern Munich saw Arsene Wenger's side become the first team to keep a clean sheet against Jupp Heynckes' team this season. Bayern Munich had scored a goal in all 37 competitive matches this season prior to hosting Arsenal in their Champions League second leg.
They had also scored 2 or more goals in 28 of those matches but the Gunners proved to be stern resistance.
Arsenal's 2-0 second leg victory over Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena saw the Gunners equal the biggest home defeat suffered by the German club in their Champions League History. Only AC Milan (2-0 in April 2007) and Girondins de Bordeaux (2-0 in November 2009) had beaten Bayern Munich by more than a one-goal margin.
England's 8-0 thrashing of San Marino on Friday 22 March was the country's biggest victory in over 25 years, since beating the minnows of Turkey by the same scoreline in a Euro 88 qualifier at Wembley in October 1987. Gary Lineker scored a hat-trick that day, but Jermain Defoe was the only player to get as many as 2 for Roy Hodgson's side in their latest qualifier. England are currently best priced at odds of 1.40 to win their qualifying group.
Liverpool have won just 1 of 9 Premier League games this season when Luis Suarez has received a yellow card. 5 of those matches have resulted in defeat for Brendan Rodgers' side. The solo victory came against Southampton at the start of December, 1-0.
Liverpool's last game saw them lose 3-1 to the same opponent and Suarez received a yellow card.
Stoke City's 0-0 draw at home to West Bromwich Albion on 16 March was their first Premier League clean sheet in 2013, ending a run of 11 games without shutting an opponent out since their 0-0 draw at Tottenham before Christmas. Stoke City are at odds of 5.50 to keep a clean sheet in their next game, at Everton.
An Englishman has not won the Premier League Golden Boot for the past 12 seasons, since Kevin Phillips netted 30 goals for Sunderland during the 1999/2000 season. It looks unlikely that an Englishman is going to top score in 2012/13 either, with Wayne Rooney the closest candidate being 10 goals short of Luis Suarez who is out in front with 22. Suarez is at odds of 1.44 to finish the season as the Premier League's leading goalscorer, with RvP at 2.88 and Gareth Bale at 21.00.
Following the exits of Manchester United and Arsenal in the second round, plus Chelsea and Manchester City in the group stage, the Premier League will have no representatives in the quarter-finals of the Champions League for the first time in 17 years.
The last time this happened was when Blackburn Rovers were England's only entrants and they finished bottom of their group consisting of Spartak Moscow, Legia Warsaw and Rosenborg BK (Graeme Le Saux and David Batty fighting et al).
Manchester United are 1 point away from matching their lowest-ever points haul of 75 with 9 games still to play. Sir Alex Ferguson's side have opened up a 15-point gap at the top between themselves and Manchester City, having dropped just 13 points from their opening 29 games.
No side has ever failed to win the Premier League with such a commanding lead at any point during a previous season.
Arsenal have kept 4 clean sheets in the 5 (80%) Premier League games they have played without Thomas Vermaelen so far this season, compared to 6 in the 24 (25%) games the Belgian defender has started. Arsenal host Reading on Saturday where they are currently odds of 2.20 to win to nil.

The First Frontier: The Forgotten History of Struggle, Savagery and Endurance in Early America
Scott Weidensaul
Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 480 pp., $30
Reviewed by Jonathan E. Lazarus
With a real feel for the unspoiled beauty of the land and its original inhabitants, naturalist and trusty trail guide Scott Weidensaul underscores pivotal moments in the clashing cultures of colonists and Native Americans along the Eastern Seaboard and into the hinterlands during three centuries leading up to the Revolutionary War.
Weidensaul delivers earnest and sweeping snapshots of the Wild Wild East. Yet, for all its attributes, "The First Frontier" sometimes seems laden with too many names covering too many tribes and settlements spread across too much terrain. The author tacitly acknowledges the challenge by titling Part I of his three-part history, "So Many Nations, Peoples and Tongues."
More user-friendly maps and graphics — to keep the periodically numbing detail in a sensible framework — would have helped. And in grappling with the mind-sets of the settlers, the totem of the tribes and the machinations of European powers, the author sometimes dishes information while skimping on context and sequence.
That said, Weidensaul can wax downright lyrical in describing the natural wonders of the post-Pleistocene New World, when millions of passenger pigeons blackened the northern skies, giant sturgeon inhabited frigid waters and herds of game thundered across the terrain.
Other segments of "The First Frontier" can be quite insightful, too. The early career of an ambitious and untested George Washington is an eye-opener. The prickly relations among Native American nations and their aptitude for intertribal slavery, a concept introduced by the Europeans, destroys any notion of a monolithic network.
And the reference to "savagery" in the subtitle applies equally to the interlocking worlds of colonists, sachems and Europeans. There was more than enough bad behavior by all sides.
One instance is the infamous 1737 Walking Purchase, conducted by William Penn's corrupted sons and the Lenapes. Since the size of the tract would be determined by the distance covered in a day, the Penns hired marathoners and cached food along the route, while the Native Americans tried to turn the event into a leisurely stroll. Net result of the serio-comic episode: The Penns chiseled the Lenapes out of a 1,200 square-mile tract, sadly one of many swindles, and one right at the doorstep of New Jersey.

- Twin Peaks Mall
- Aug 1:
- Twin Peaks Mall finally meets its fate
- Jul 20:
- Goodbye, Twin Peaks Mall; and thank you
- Jul 19:
- Memories of Longmont's Twin Peaks Mall
The big question of the Dillard's condemnation hearings has been "How much is the Twin Peaks store worth?" But on Thursday, a second question gained equal prominence: "How did you get that number?"
The appraisers took the stand Thursday, trying to lay out how the same property can be valued at $6.3 million by Dillard's and $3.03 million by the Longmont Urban Renewal Authority. LURA has filed to condemn the property so that an $80 million Twin Peaks Mall redevelopment can go ahead.
Neither side is allowed to include the effects of the mall project -- positive or negative -- in its Dillard's estimates.
Larry Stark, president of National Valuation Consultants, said he was trying to filter out both that affect and the recent economic ups and downs in reaching his figure for Dillard's. To do that, he said, he limited himself to recent sales comparisons -- no more than two or three years -- involving businesses of a similar size, type and setting. In a separate analysis, he compared lease properties to see what kind of income an investor could expect from the property.
Both methods, he said, independently brought him to the $6.3 million figure. If anything, Stark said, his estimates may be conservative. His first group of sales comparisons, for example, were often in the $80 per square foot range; Stark assigned a value of $67 per square foot. Likewise, his income estimate of $6 per square foot split the difference of a range he set between $5.28 and $7.
LURA's attorneys pointed out that most of his valuations were from outside Colorado and none were attached to regional malls. Of the initial eight comparisons, four involved Kohl's sales, which LURA appraiser Harold McCloud said didn't make sense with a Kohl's already across the street.
"Going down their list of retailers ... I can't come up with one that is not already in the market area," said McCloud, who set the $3.03 million. Testimony on his own methods will continue Friday, but among the factors taken into account by McCloud were the market of the mall area, and the physical surroundings -- including, he said, the fact that the nearby mall nearly blocked Dillard's from sight to passing traffic.
"As far as I can see, there's basically no visibility to this property," he said.
Stark said that with a "destination" site like Dillard's that people would seek out, immediate visibility didn't matter as much. The fact that Kohl's was already in the neighborhood, he said, helped show the area was attractive to that sort of national retailer.
"It's not unusual to have less visibility," he said. "What we have is great access."
Plans to redevelop the Twin Peaks Mall have been discussed since at least 2007, when the then-owner, Panattoni, asked for a blight study to be done at the mall. A blight designation allows cities to declare an urban renewal district and take action to improve the area.
Dillard's owns its own store and holds a deal with the mall -- now owned by NewMark Merrill Mountain States -- requiring the store's approval on any redevelopment plans. When negotiations fell through, LURA filed a condemnation to try to claim the store's title.
A court-appointed commission will set a preliminary price after the hearings so that the title can be transferred to LURA.
LURA attorney Robert Duncan was interested in a pair of 2007 valuations Stark had done for the mall's pre-Panattoni owner, CBL & Associates. Duncan quoted repeatedly from comments the studies made about the mall's poor condition -- comments that Stark said were taken out of context -- and stated that one valuation found that Twin Peaks' "highest and best use" was to restock its tenants, while an earlier one recommended cleaning the slate.
"On page 3 of your July appraisal, you said the highest and best use is to demolish most or all of the existing mall and redevelop the site according to modern retail standards," Duncan said.
Stark explained that in the first study, the owners had been explicitly interested in at least a partial rebuild and had removed "re-tenanting" as an option. That was not the case in the second study, he said, where CBL considered pursuing new tenant leases just before deciding to sell to Panattoni.
Testimony will continue Friday at the Boulder County Justice Center.

text: By Sibel Tinar, Contributing Reporter RIO DE JANEIRO – With an unwavering and sizable voter support for his bid for presidency, José Serra refuses to be the underdog, despite the ever-growing numbers for his main rival, Dilma Rousseff. In the second of three profiles of the leading contenders, The Rio Times looks into Serra's life, from his humble beginnings to major achievements, and his second attempt to become the president of Brazil. José Serra, the presidential candidate of PSDB, speaking during his party's national meeting in Brasília, photo by Antônio Cruz/ABr. Due to the popularity of President Lula, and the economic stability his policies have brought to the country during his two terms, it was clear that the candidate of the principal opposition Partido da Social Democracia Brasileira (PSDB, Brazilian Social Democratic Party), José Serra, 68, would face major challenges in attracting voters, the majority of whom are unwilling to shake the status-quo. Having lost the presidency to Lula in 2002 in the run-off, this time Serra has emphasized his working-class credentials, and emphasized his successful track record as Minister of Health under ex-president Fernando Henrique Cardoso's administration, during which he aligned himself with the masses and made generic drugs available in Brazil. Whilst his official biography states he was born to semi-literate Italian immigrant parents in São Paulo and grew up in a small and crowded rented apartment, his opponents dispute this history, arguing he was in fact raised in relative comfort as the son of a fruit seller. These and similar allegations remain unverified, but tensions persist as a result of Serra's focus on the working-class and a perception that he is trying to benefit from Lula's far-reaching, 'man of the people' appeal. Associated with the Catholic Left during his university years, Serra was forced into exile following the 1964 military coup as a result of speeches he gave shortly before the government takeover. He remained abroad for fourteen years, first in Chile, where he received his Master's in economics, then in the United States, where he earned a PhD from Cornell, and taught at Princeton. Serra in Curitiba, the capital of Paraná, where he officially started his campaign, photo by Fabio Rodrigues Pozzebom/ABr. Upon his return to Brazil, his initial attempts to run for Congress were prohibited by the military government due to a suspension of his "political rights", but eventually he entered the fray first at state, then at a federal level. After losing the presidency to Lula in 2002, Serra was elected Mayor of São Paulo, and eventually went on to become State Governor, where he still has a large support base and loyal following. Serra's ability to connect with the people of Brazil was called into question recently, however, as he was accused of being out-of-touch with the less developed parts of the country after failing to answer questions directed at him in Minas Gerais, Goiás and Pernambuco states on the campaign trail, saying that he could not understand the heavy accents. Dilma, on the other hand, has publicly criticized Serra on several occasions for attempting to align himself with Lula by using the current president's name and pictures strategically in his campaign, claiming recently that the two of them are both men of deep historical importance. In a period in which the country appears to be more content and prosperous than ever, the political climate indicates that the candidate who more successfully manages to ride the current wave will become the next President of Brazil. For the opposition leader to muscle in on the incumbent party's popularity is looking like an increasingly tall order. 20 Responses to "José Serra: Continuity or Change?"

HAMILTON, NY Rookie Chris Costabile (Sykesville, Md.) got his Dartmouth career underway with a game-high four points to lead the Big Green men's lacrosse team to a 7-3 win over Colgate to kick off the 2010 season.
Dartmouth (1-0) was led by Costabile, who posted two goals and two assists for four points, while senior captain Ari Sussman (New Haven, Conn.) began his final season with three points on two goals and an assist. Senior captain Christopher Root (Houston, Texas) netted two goals in his first game of the year, both coming in the second half. Senior goaltender Michael Novosel (Somers, N.Y.) was solid in net with 14 saves to earn the win.
Colgate (0-2) got a goal and an assist from Patrick Campbell, while John Donnally and Michael Crown also added goals for the Raiders. Goaltender Tim Harrington made nine saves, but took the loss.
The first half was uneventful on the scoreboard for both teams. Dartmouth took the first lead of the game with 4:17 remaining in the opening quarter. Sussman netted his first of the season, coming unassisted to give the Big Green a 1-0 lead.
Crown got Colgate even with Dartmouth early in the second quarter with his first of the season. The assist on the play was credited to Patrick Campbell to knot the score at 1-1.
With just under eight minutes left in the first half, Costabile fired home his first of his Dartmouth career to give the Big Green its second lead of the game at 2-1. Dartmouth had the shot advantage in the half with 17 shots to 11 for the Raiders. Turnovers hurt the Big Green as Dartmouth committed 10 in the first 30 minutes.
Dartmouth wasted no time increasing the lead to 3-1 in the third quarter. Root scored his first of the year coming just 1:22 into the second half. Sussman pushed the Big Green's advantage to 4-1 with his second of the game with the assist going to Costabile.
Freshman Nikki Dysenchuk (Darien, Conn.) scored the lone man-up goal for both teams in the third quarter for his first collegiate goal. The goal came with 2:11 left in the frame and the score came unassisted. Costabile continued his success at the end of the third with his second of the afternoon coming with 1:37 left, so Dartmouth went into the final quarter with a 6-1 lead. Sussman assisted on the play to give him three points.
The fourth quarter began with Root's second tally at the 10:34 mark to push the advantage up to 7-1. Colgate closed out the game with two goals in the final 3:25, but the rally fell short and the Big Green came away with the 7-3 and got head coach Andy Towers a win in his first game as Dartmouth's head man.
Colgate had the advantage in shots with 33 to the Big Green's 26. The Raiders dominated the play in the final frame, oushooting Dartmouth 15-1. Ground balls went to the Big Green, but by a slim 15-14 advantage. Both teams were successful clearing the ball out of their own zones. Dartmouth cleared 21-of-23, while Colgate missed being perfect by one with 18 clears in 19 chances.
Dartmouth will be back in action for its home opener on March 9 against Holy Cross at 3 p.m. at Scully-Fahey Field.
