Dean's Quarterly Reports
Jones School Leadership
Nov. 14, 2007 — The Jesse H. Jones Graduate School of Management recently received high marks in two separate magazine rankings. For the past three years, the Financial Times has ranked the Jones School's finance program among the top 10 in the world. In its global list of MBA for Executives 2007, Rice ranked 49th among 90 business schools, up from last year's ranking of 67th. Among only U.S. schools, the survey ranked Rice's MBA for Executives in the top 25 and the full-time MBA program in the top 30. In terms of average salary three years after graduation, Rice executive MBA graduates ranked 12th nationally. "The biggest driver of this improved rating is the report from our MBA for Executives 2004 class, which saw an increase of 59 percent in their post-MBA salary over a five-year period, " said Bill Glick, dean of the Jones School. Latin Trade magazine also recognized the Jones School's entrepreneurship and diversity programs, which ranked the Rice MBA among its preferred list of 45 international schools and 15 U.S. schools. Latin Trade conducted an online reader survey and received more than 7,000 responses that rated the school on questions related to academic experience and the value of the program. "As our rankings and ratings improve, we have a heightened opportunity to continue to attract thought-leaders from around the world," Glick said.

The Neurology department at Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children provides care for orthopedic patients who also have related neurological disorders and neuromuscular diseases. Because a physical orthopedic condition can be the result of an underlying neurological disorder, patients admitted to the hospital's orthopedic clinic may be referred to the Neurology department as well.
TSRHC's neurology team provides care (limited to related orthopedic conditions) for patients also diagnosed with developmental delay, cerebral palsy, brain malformations, epilepsy and other conditions due to brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerve abnormalities. Specialized clinics have been developed to treat children with childhood motor disorders, tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC), holoprosencephaly (HPE) and hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP).
In 1990, TSRHC created a tuberous sclerosis complex clinic to provide proactive patient care involving the child's family and the medical team. The clinic is a model for TSC clinics nationwide. Since 1999, TSRHC has developed and maintained an international registry and a national database to collect information on patients with HPE. Our HPE clinic is one of three clinical centers of excellence supported by the Carter Centers for Brain Research in Holoprosencephaly and Related Malformations. In collaboration with major universities around the country, TSRHC has created a consortium focused on childhood motor disorders.
TSRHC's Neurology department is actively involved in research regarding management of a variety of nervous system problems. This research has led to innovative treatments for children with brain and nerve disorders.
TSRHC is committed to improving health care through its professional training programs. Residents and fellows from The University of Texas Southwestern Medical School train with our Neurology team and contribute to the department's research efforts.
Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children, located in Dallas, uses several criteria to determine a patient's eligibility. For more information on becoming a patient or referring a patient, contact our Patient Access department at 214-559-7477 or 800-421-1121, ext. 7477.

The Australian share market has closed higher, led by big mining stocks, after markets in the United States lifted and investment bank JP Morgan expressed confidence in the resources sector.
On Wall Street in the US on Monday, a strong rally in technology stocks lifted the Dow Jones Industrial Average and S&P 500 to record highs.
JP Morgan raised its rating on the resources sector to "overweight" from "underweight" overnight and pointed to signs of a rebound in China's economy, the world's biggest metals consumer.
CMC Markets chief market analyst Ric Spooner said the local bourse had been boosted by positive leads from overseas markets.
"First and foremost, I think, it was a strong lead from offshore," he said.
But Mr Spooner said the market pulled back from its intra-day high ahead of Tuesday's night's federal budget, which is expected to outline tough spending cuts and the loss of thousands of jobs in the public service.
Mr Spooner said Chinese economic data released late in the trading session were broadly in line with expectations and did not have much impact upon the local market.
Official data out of China on Tuesday showed that its industrial output increased by 8.7 per cent year-on-year in April, down from 8.8 per cent a month earlier.
Retail sales rose by 11.9 per cent last month from a year ago, down from an increase of 12.2 per cent in March.
On the local market, in the resources sector, global miner BHP Billiton surged 80 cents to $37.96, Rio Tinto jumped $1.85 to $62.85, and Fortescue Metals firmed eight cents to $4.80.
Mining services and explosives business Orica slumped 85 cents to $21.09 after its half year profit fell nearly eight per cent, hurt by a slowdown in the mining sector.
Aurora Oil and Gas advanced 23 cents, or 5.82 per cent, to $4.18 after Canada's Baytex Energy Corp increased its takeover offer for Aurora by 2.4 per cent.
Among the major banks, ANZ lifted 22 cents to $32.90, Commonwealth Bank strengthened 52 cents to $79.90, Westpac gained 24 cents to $35.14, and National Australia Bank added 32 cents to $34.50.
* On Tuesday, the benchmark S&P/ASX200 index was up 49.8 points, or 0.91 per cent, at 5,498.2 points.
* The broader All Ordinaries index was up 46.4 points, or 0.85 per cent, at 5,475.4 points.
* On the ASX 24, the June share price index futures contract was 50 points higher at 5,487 points, with 25,492 contracts traded.
* National turnover was 1.6 billion securities worth $4.67 billion.
* The price of gold in Sydney at 1700 AEST was $US1,291.10 per fine ounce, up $US2.70 on Monday's price of $US1,288.40.

Mindy McCready's ex wins custody of singer's oldest son
Listen to Mindy McCready on iHeartRadio
One of the late Mindy McCready's boys now has a permanent home. TasteOfCountry.com says the country star's seven-year-old son Zander has been officially placed with her ex, Billy McKnight, the boy's father.
McKnight says he's been working to help his son deal with the death of his mother, as well as both of his parents' tumultuous past. He explains that he's telling Zander the boy was "made from love" and is "here for a reason." He adds that he's focusing on the good things about Mindy. He admits it will take a long time for both of them to heal from Mindy's death.
McCready's mom, Gayle Inge, is among those voicing support for McKnight gaining custody of Zander, who arrived at his new Florida home on Sunday.
But "TasteOfCountry" says custody of McCready's other son, one-year-old Zayne, is "not clear." Zayne's father was David Wilson, the Arkansas man Mindy fled to with Zander in 2011 during a custody dispute over the boy. Wilson died in January, one month before McCready took her own life.

Enjoyed the video!
You have the "Targets IP" as 192.168.1.6. I am assuming this means that this is the IP of the computer being "attacked"
So I put in 192.168.0.103 (the target computers IP). Everything is good until the end result. I get:
So, am I sniffing myself? Even though I put in 192.168.0.103 and 192.168.1.1 as the command? When I click yahoo and try logging in nothing appears in the Konsole in shell #3.Listening on wlan0... (Ethernet)
wlan0 -> (my mac address) 192.168.x.x (<- my IP) 255.255.255.0
How do you know if wlan0 is the correct word. How do you find this out? Maybe I need wlan1 or wlan2. Hope that made sense.
When you type "clean" what are you pressing after? I tried to type clean but all I got was "command not found" So I am assuming you are hitting shortcut keys to clear the konsole.
EDIT: I was able to get correct results on a LAN using eth0. Note: That ended up not seeing my own MAC address and got a different IP address.
Target: 192.168.1.111
It says im sniffing 192.168.1.210
Weird, but it worked! Now if only I could do it wireless. Should be the same thing just switch eth0 to wlan0, right?

WATCH: Keith Urban fall off his chair for 'American Idol' audition
Listen to Keith Urban on iHeartRadio
Being our country's national anthem, "The Star-Spangled Banner" is one of America's most beloved songs. That's why "American Idol" auditioner Zoanette Johnson picked it to audition with.
She explains that she told her family, if Obama was re-elected into office, that would be the song she auditioned with. She stayed true to her word, and the judges were so blown away by her, um, unique rendetion of the tune, that Keith Urban actually fell off his chair.

The female Red-back Spider is easily recognised because of her distinctive body colours and shape. The body has a characteristically pea-shaped abdomen and the legs are long and slender. The upper side of the abdomen usually has a broad red stripe, while the underneath always has an hourglass-shaped red mark. Juvenile females have white markings on the abdomen. The female's body is about 10 mm long, excluding the legs.
A female Red-back Spider (black and white illustration)Illustrator: Graham Milledge / Source: Museum Victoria
The male Red-back Spider is much smaller than the female – only about 4 mm – and it is rarely seen. The body is light brown, with no red markings, but there are white marks on the upperside of the abdomen and a pale hourglass mark underneath.
The Red-back Spider makes a web to catch its prey. It consists of a tangled array of sticky catching lines attached to the surroundings.
A female Red-back Spider at its webPhotographer: Graham Milledge. Source: Museum Victoria
This spider is commonly found outdoors around human habitation in such places as rubbish, litter, old tins and containers, under and on steps of the veranda, and on, or under the seats of outdoor toilets. Storage stacks and disused furniture will encourage the breeding of this spider. In nature, it occurs under logs, bark, sides of rocks, etc. As the spider rarely leaves its web, humans are not likely to be bitten unless some part of the body (e.g. the hand) is put into the web.
Always check before moving items that have been stored outdoors for some time. Wear gloves when cleaning up rubbish areas.
The female produces up to 10 pale yellow egg sacs, each with approximately 250 eggs. Females may live for two to three years, and males for about 90 days.
The bite is highly venomous. It is characterised by intense localised pain around the bite site. Other symptoms may include sweating, muscular weakness, loss of coordination and, in severe cases nausea, vomiting, convulsions, etc. Antivenom is available.
The following description of the signs and symptoms of envenomation is quoted with permission from Australian Animal Toxins, by Struan Sutherland (Oxford University Press, 1983).
'The normal sequence of events after a bite is as follows. A sharp pin-pricking pain is almost invariable. Usually the bite site becomes hot. Erythema and oedema develop rapidly. Localized sweating often occurs. The swelling is generally limited to an area of several centimetres in radius from the bite site; occasionally it is extreme. Approximately five minutes after the bite, intense local pain commences and increases in severity and distribution. In most cases, pain is the predominant symptom; the patient is sometimes distraught and even hysterical because of its intensity. Movement of the affected limb often significantly increases the pain. About thirty minutes after the bite, pain and swelling are often experienced in the regional lymph nodes. If abdominal pain occurs, it is worse when the lower extremities or genitals were bitten, probably due to lymph node involvement. Sometimes severe pain develops in parts remote from the bite site, for example, in an opposite limb or the opposite side of the trunk.
Uncommon, even bizarre, signs and symptoms have developed in some cases. These include tetanic spasms, tingling in the teeth, swelling of the tongue, bite site infection, convulsions, excessive thirst, severe diarrhoea, anaphylactic reaction to the venom, blotchy rash on face, haemoptysis, dyspnoea, dysuria, severe trismus, persistent anorexia, periorbital oedema and/or conjunctivas. Patchy areas of what was described as "bizarre sweating" are not uncommon.'

Hi. Currently, the Live Exhibits team don't need any Red-Backed Spiders. Perhaps try contacting the Australian Venom Research Unit at Melbourne University http://www.avru.org/index.html
Hi All, we have been getting a few comments and questions as to why the Red-back spider shown on this infosheet has no red on its abdomen. The reason is that the first image shown is a scientific illustration and is done in black and white.
Hi Jenn, Museum Victoria's expertise lies more in spiders found in south-eastern Australia. I'm not sure if you are contacting us from Ontario, Canada or Ontario, New Zealand. You could try the Natural History Museum in your country who should have knowledge of local spiders. Or if you can safely obtain an image of the spider please feel free to send it to firstname.lastname@example.com and we will see if we know it.
Hi Karina, probably the best thing to do is to contact your local Natural History Museum in North Carolina and see if they can provide a positive identification for you. Spiders have no interest in people and will not come looking to bite them for no reason. Bites usually occur when people accidentally put their hands in the webs or stand on them.
Hi Carol. Our Victorian Spiders website features a spider gallery and spider search to help identify species local to Victoria. If this doesn't confirm the identification, you can send a specimen or clear photograph to us and we'll attempt to identify the spider for you. Hope this helps!
Hi Heather, thanks for enquiry, unfortunately the entomologist needs an image in order to identify the spider you saw at home. Have a look at the Victorian Spiders website, you may find that you are able to identify the spider yourself
Hi Elizabeth,
Unfortunately without an image it is impossible to provide an accurate ID, however you could try browsing the Spiders of Australia website to try to identify it yourself. A red-back can have the red colouring on both its back and underside, but it usually has a pea shaped body.
Hi Ben,
If you are happy to drop the spider off we would be happy to recieve it. Bring it down to the Discovery Centre on the lower ground floor of the Melbourne Museum - open Tues-Sat 10am-4:30pm and we will pass it on to our Live Exhibitis team.
Hello Alex - we checked with our Live Exhibits keepers, who have responded as follows: Baby Redbacks Latrodectus hasselti look like small versions of the adults, but without the black background colour. The abdomen is slightly smaller in relation to the rest of the body compared to the adult, and the background colour is usually fawn, with a pattern of white and red. A photo of newly-hatched spiderlings can be found here.
Dear John
Thanks for your question about the danger of redback spiders. The main problem is that they can bite and do have a dangerous venom which can make people quite ill and can even kill people though that is very rare. They do not seek out people to bite though (they are not really aggressive) and it is an accident if a bite occurs. We think the best thing is for you to look up some internet references for more information: here and here.
We love receiving comments, but can't always respond.

The Security Implications of Climate Change - An International Dialogue held May 20, 2011 in the German House, New York
Territorial loss due to rising sea levels and increasing food scarcity are among the grave threats of climate change. A discussion held by the Permanent Missions of Germany and Portugal to the United Nations in New York on May 20, 2011 clarified the relevance of these developments for peace and security. Approximately one hundred representatives from policy and academic circles – including the Foreign Minister of the Marshall Islands, John Silk, Dirk Messner of the German Advisory Council on Global Change, Alexander Müller, Assistant Director-General of the UN Food and Agriculture Organization, Madalena Lucas, Advisor of the Secretary of State for Environment, Lisbon, Portugal and Belynda Petrie, Executive Director of the South African research institute OneWorld – explored a possible discussion of climate change and security by the UN Security Council, planned under the German Presidency in July.

Apparently, despite his denials that he doesn't have herpes, Kris has never actually been tested for herpes and Kayla wants him tested. So far Kris has refused. You would think he would just go ahead and do it and get it over with so he could get the lawsuit tossed. By him not doing it he is just dragging this out and leading people to speculate that he actually does have herpes. My next question is to Kayla. This was a one night stand. How come you didn't use protection?

Quality gaps and disparities exist in the use of evidence-based practices in clinical care across settings and populations. Research to inform clinical care often focuses on the effectiveness of treatments and interventions, while ignoring information is needed to understand why interventions work in some settings and under specific conditions but not others. This session will focus on the state of the science specifically related to the measurement of context and innovative measurement methodologies for implementation science research.

Stella McCartney Gossip
Stella McCartney gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Gwyneth's girl rally
AKM-GSI/ Splash
Gwyneth Paltrow went out for dinner the other night. Nicole Richie was there. Gwen Stefani was there. That's all the paps managed to get. Later on though, G, Nicole, and Gwen posted a group photo to their social media accounts. Naomi Watts was also there. And Stella McCartney. And half of My Obsession, Sam Taylor-Johnson. Full Story
The Jolie + a member of the GOOP crew
Vince Bucci/ Getty
Sky Captain And The World Of Tomorrow, did you see it? Probably not. The only reason I'm mentioning it is because the film features both Angelina Jolie and Gwyneth Paltrow. So, an excuse to post these old photos of them, with Jude Law and Bai Ling (!!!) at the premiere September 2004, just 4 months after G gave birth to Apple. Full Story
GOOP's garden party -- the video
Have you seen this yet? You have to see it. When you see it you'll understand why I'm obsessed with it. You remember the GOOP garden party Gwyneth Paltrow hosted in the Hamptons a few weeks ago? Um. There's video. Here. See? Now you don't give a sh-t about the scooter. Full Story
Friends & Frenemies

Stella McCartney presented her Spring 2014 collection in New York yesterday supported by many of her celebrity friends including a cross section of Gwyneth Paltrow's friends and frenemies. My G was not there as she's back in London with her kids and her lifestyle. But her presence was felt. Full Story

Did Cameron stay close to Gwyneth Paltrow and Beyonce last night? Did they keep a 3 table separation, minimum, between Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel?Cammie brought her game face though, didn't she? Look at her face. She looks great in the face. Prettier and fresher than she's looked in a long time. Full Story
Was it an intervention?
Weir Photos / Splash News, FameFlynet Pictures
Cameron Diaz was in Paris last week for Fashion Week. She hooked up with good friend Gwyneth Paltrow at some point and together went back to London. Gwyneth, as you know, is tight with Stella McCartney. And recently they've invited Reese Witherspoon into the circle. Reese is in the UK promoting This Means War. Full Story
Nicole the night before
Jason Kempin/Getty
If this is what Nicole Kidman chose for the night before the CMA Awards, well I can't wait to see what happens tonight for the event proper because her Stella McCartney for the BMI Country Awards Tuesday evening in Nashville would have worked for a main event. She is spectacular in it. One of the few who can carry it off the runway although Stella sent it down the runway in a flirty short version - click here Full Story
Another week with all her friends
Earlier this week, Gwyneth Paltrow hooked up with Lenny Kravitz backstage after his show in London to launch his new album Black & White America. Of course they're friends. Why wouldn't they be? It's Gwyneth. Last night Gwyneth attended Stella McCartney's big birthday party along with Kate Hudson, Kate Moss, Paul McCartney, and other super connected famous people. Full Story
Better Stella and hot with Charlie
Stella McCartney's designs were on display several times on Monday night at the Met Gala but the execution, well, it wasn't great. Kate Hudson looked like a girl with a tramp stamp right out the trailer park, Gwyneth bored, Rashida's purple lumpiness was a mess, Rihanna f-cked hers up with a braid, and Madonna complained publicly about looking fat. Full Story
Met Worst Sateen: Madonna
Stella McCartney is obviously trying to stay out of it, whatever it is between Gwyneth Paltrow and Madonna. She dressed them both. Madonna however did not sit with Stella and her usual girls. G and Stella were with Kate Hudson and Rashida Jones and Iman and I think Rihanna, while Madonna was...elsewhere. Full Story
Met Gala Preview: the Royal McQueen
As noted in the open, the Costume Institute Gala goes down tonight and it's a tribute to the late Lee McQueen and his label Alexander McQueen. Great timing. On Friday, Kate Middleton arrived at Westminster Abbey in a gown designed by Sarah Burton, the Creative Director of the House of McQueen and now just three days later, McQueen is being celebrated at the most high profile fashion event of the year.

At the Hotel RoquefortBy James Jones
The Paris Review was founded in 1953, the year after my father won the National Book Award for his novel From Here to Eternity. James Jones was a newcomer on the literary scene, an outsider who had fought in the Pacific and had only completed two semesters of college. By the time my parents moved to Paris in 1958, The Paris Review was a hugely important literary magazine. And although my father never felt a part of the highly educated, ivory-tower crowd, he was extremely fond of William Styron, George Plimpton, and Peter Matthiessen, the magazine's founders, and felt a deep kinship with them as people who were committed to the written word. My father was interviewed by Nelson W. Aldrich Jr. for the Autumn/Winter 1958–59 issue of The Paris Review, just after the publication of his second novel, Some Came Running, which was savaged by the critics. The interview gave my father a chance to speak his mind and set the record straight, and it is one of the best interviews he ever gave. It seems only fitting that a section of his earliest, unpublished work should be printed in The Paris Review, whose three founders came to his defense and continued to stand by him and his work long after his death in 1977. —Kaylie Jones

In case anyone else is experiencing the same issue I figured this out, with a little helping hand from the IRC crowd.
I'm associating with an AP that's broadcasting regdomain, hence the linux kernel is calling crda to update my country & region to that broadcast from the AP.
Any subsequent attempts to change region while associated can only further restrict the criteria already set. When I disconnect from the AP wpa_supplicant sets my regdomain back to my selected value.
The kernel only receives the regdomain country code from the AP. It then relies on crda and regulatory.bin (wireless-regdb) to tell it what restrictions to apply.
If you make any changes to the relevant country code section in wireless-regdb (db.txt) you can compile a new regulatory.bin, though you'll then also need to recompile a new version of crda that includes a public key from your regulatory.bin compilation as crda requires the signature of regulatory.bin to be validated. BE CAREFUL THAT ANY CHANGES YOU MAKE DO NOT CONTRAVENE LOCAL LAWS.
As always google is your friend..

Sunday 1st June 2014
First House
£12.00 - £15.00
Relaxed family friendly lunchtime session featuring top quality entertainment, with Sunday lunch available to order. Showcased this week is the London Vocal Project made up of singers and instrumentalists made up from the main London colleges led by famed jazz educator and arranger Pete Churchill.
Music fare ranges widely from traditional to contemporary gospel music from Stevie Wonder to James Taylor to specially 'jazz' commissioned pieces by the likes of Kenny Wheeler.
This show features Anita Wardell as soloist, Nikki Iles on piano, Steve Watts on Bass, Andres Ticino on Percussion.
About the London Vocal Project
Directed by composer, arranger and educator Pete Churchill, the London Vocal Project is composed of students and alumni from the various jazz courses at London's Conservatoires.
From a solid foundation in Gospel and Groove music, the London Vocal Project has developed into an impressively versatile ensemble with a constantly expanding repertoire. Since its inception in 2008 it has become the leading contemporary jazz-vocal ensemble in the UK.
A unique and welcome addition to the Jazz scene, the London Vocal Project has not only a clear identity but the requisite vision and diversity to attract a new vocal repertoire from jazz composers.
The choir work closely with Kenny Wheeler and in 2013, recorded the 'Mirrors Suite', with the great Norma Winstone MBE. The album follows a memorable performance of the suite with Kenny and Norma as part of the London Jazz Festival in 2011. The collaboration of Kenny Wheeler and LVP continues, with new repertoire being premiered throughout 2014.
The current project for Pete Churchill and LVP is the realisation of Jon Hendricks vocalese treatment of the Gil Evans, 'Miles Ahead' suite. Pete has been working with Jon on this choral arrangement since LVP first worked with Jon Hendricks in 2012. A selection of works from the Miles Ahead project will be performed at Ronnie Scott's on Sunday 1st June 2014, featuring Anita Wardell on lead vocal, Nikki Iles on piano, Steve Watts on bass and Andres Ticino on percussion.

John Boehner announces support for military action in Syria
House Speaker John Boehner believes only the U.S. has the capability to respond to an accused chemical weapon attack in Syria. He also says he's going to support President Obama's call for action. The attack last month killed hundreds of people, including children. Obama is meeting with key lawmakers today to drum up congressional support for limited military strikes. Boehner says the behavior by the al-Assad regime will not be tolerated.

Best Of :: Sports & Recreation
We don't care what Jack Hanna says. Bats are just plain creepy and, dare we say, evil little critters. Still, we can't help but be drawn to the southern border of Paradise Valley along the Arizona Canal where, from late spring through November, Satan's Little Helpers gather at sunset and hover along the warm flood-control waters in search of mosquitoes and moths. Joggers and spectators alike have been known to gather at the overpass at 40th Street just north of Camelback Road to catch a glimpse of the flying mammals, which migrate annually from Mexico. But we suggest a real adrenaline rush: Start your evening run along the canal at 37th Street just behind Phoenix Country Day School (where, rumor has it, the bats nap during the day) with a raw, bloody steak in tow. Best. Workout. Ever.
Though we hardly could be called card-carrying members of the country-club set, we do occasionally enjoy pretending that we can smack a tennis ball with the best of 'em. And that's a backhanded way of informing our fellow lob-sters that our favorite place to run ourselves in circles is this wonderful city-run facility, tucked away in a west Phoenix residential park. For a few bucks (and a few more at night), you can hit the yellow orb to your heart's content on one of the 22 well-kept, lighted courts. It doesn't hurt that the pro shop is stocked with goodies, the locker rooms are more than adequate and the vending machines rarely are empty. Now if only we can figure out how to get that first serve in more than once in a blue moon.
Head west, young sports fan! West Valley leaders know what their constituents want: good sports in good facilities and lots of 'em. Take a typical spring afternoon out at Surprise Stadium, the gorgeous baseball mecca that opened in 2002 for the Texas Rangers and Kansas City Royals. The stadium is packed with everything from Sun City retirees keeping their own score books and West Valley families enjoying the up-close-and-personal with major league stars to college spring breakers sunning on the plush grass beyond the outfield fence. It's a great baseball vibe in a beautiful baseball facility, a facility that, in time, will serve as part of the walkable urban core of the exploding city of Surprise.
While many skateboarders are willing to dish out $10 to skate in indoor parks with smaller ramps and a load of regulations (or illegally skate in commercial strip malls), adrenaline junkies in the know ride their boards under the sun at the Paradise Valley Skate Park. The Phoenix Parks and Recreation Department has three skate parks (including the Desert West Skateboard Plaza on Encanto Boulevard and the Pecos Park Skate Park), but the PV Skate Park has way more than the other two -- the City of Phoenix Parks and Recreation Department's PR materials list the PV Skate Park's virtues with savvy heretofore unknown to bureaucrats: "kinked snakebowls, a kidney bowl, spine bowls, a banked alley, street plaza, flatbars, grinding ledges and blocks, pump bumps, sloped ramps, radial banks and an elongated funbox."
And best of all, it's free.
For those about to rock, we direct you . . . to AZ on the Rocks, where beginner, intermediate and women-only classes convene every couple of days. Learn the ropes -- and the lingo -- on 14,000 square feet of textured climbing terrain, with 50 top ropes, a lead-only cave, rappelling platform, chimney, separate bouldering area and -- we're not sure we like the sound of this -- "multiple cracks." "Arizona's largest indoor rock climbing gym" also has the hookup for kids, with designated family climb times, Saturday-morning "Kids Climbs," and certification classes for ages 12 to 14. While "Rock and Climb" sessions add a rock 'n' roll soundtrack, and three-hour party packages include a private room and party host, not-so-social climbers can get in the zone during members-only gym times.
Rock on!
Sure, there are other resort pools in town. But only at the Oasis can 25 adults party in a hot tub secluded from the lifeguard-patrolled toddler pool by faux red rock boulders and pretend they've found a private hot spring in Sedona.
The 17-year-old resort opened the $12.3 million water park just two years ago as one intentionally designed for an older demographic, and the rolling, six-acre enclave is full of the kinds of water features parents "ooh" over while the kids just yawn. Not to worry. There's something for everyone -- particularly you.
Yeah, the steep slides barreling down from the 83-foot tower at the back of the park rival Waterworld's Kilimanjaro for sheer free-fall thrills, and the 10,000-square-foot wave pool can keep the kids bobbing happily all afternoon. But it's the meandering lazy river feature, dubbed the Zuni, that really draws the crowds -- of chillin' grown folks content to float endlessly around the manmade red rock canyon, entertained by little more than misters, arcing water squirts and the occasional current-speeding jet stream.
The kids might eventually tire of the falls at Slide Canyon after a few climbs up the three-story staircase, but mom won't have to hear "I'm bored" until they find her -- which may take until dusk.

I think this is worth sharing…I have sent this email october 31…it took 6 days to even get an automated "reply "
October 31,2012
Guys, here is some food for thoughts!
I have been a member for over 4 years and have purchased close to 500 items so far so I know my way around. I pretty much spend AT LEAST 2 hours/day looking at the new themes, mostly wordpress. I can sadly say that for the past year, Themeforest " Standards " have gone way down the drain, it sure isn't like it use to be….Here is why!
I am going to focus mainly on WP since I pretty much know all the themes by heart.
1- How do you guys NOT pick up on users creating multiple accounts with different names who end up changing their theme's name etc…and reloading ??? I mean quite a few are OBVIOUS .
2- So many new themes each week are just plain carbon copy of other themes it's ridiculous, I understand the more the merrier, and more money for you guys…But it's really getting to be a turn off. I use to be excited about new themes and creative ideas, now I am lucky if I find ONE a month that I haven't seen before or isn't a copy. I get that maybe you don't have time to screen everything and settle for quantity VS quality, but I suggest you reevaluate. Myself and a few long term developers/customers are really loosing " our MOJO " and started exploring other avenues. Common, you guys use to be " creme de la creme "! Now it's like drive thru McDonalds…and the prices go up! lol
3- I think it was a HUGE mistake to let developers have their own " SUPPORT FORUM ", since then the developers have gotten SUPER lazy. The copy paste some " register to our forum " which frustrates most people. Most of them can't even respond to their own forum requests on a weekly basis so them come here to get their theme sold then it's basically " screw you ". I think you guys should regain some of the " power ".
4- I think that sellers should have a mandatory requirement to answer questions at LEAST a couple times a week and if they don't, their theme is just " suspended " until they keep up. It is unacceptable for developers to ignore questions for weeks if not months yet still make a buck. Take a new customer, he might not know to check comments before he buys and next thing you know he can't even get answers cause the developer " vanished "…. If you want to make a buck, their is a responsibility that comes with it. I have seen that a lot with with ELITE AUTHORS over the past few months…I can give you a handful of examples.
Anyway, food for thoughts…
Then on November 6 I get this email:
Thank you for your email to Envato support. I'm sorry for the delay. I am forwarding this along to the necessary staff for inspection. I truly apologize for your disappointment.
Please let me know if I can be of further assistance. Kind Regards,
Bryan F. Envato Support Department
Did I ever hear back from anyone, NOT … For crying out loud, the stuff is SO BEHIND even customer support latest news update dates FEB 12 ,2012!
You can't even get a hold of anyone anymore… This use to be a great community for many things, now the quality and the " top notch " feel is definitely way gone
What a shame!
I agree with a lot of points here, but point 3 and partly 4 are something that can't be done without Envato making a much better system then comments to handle support. When you have a lot of files (from different markets even) it is impossible to handle support via comments. This is why we made a support portal with FAQ and forums and basicly have a policy that replies are made within 24 hours.
But to make this possible I need a forum where customers have to register (and enter the purchase code). It's just the neccessary evil.
I don't know about other authors but I think with providing proper support you get a lot of returning buyers and earn more that way in the long run.
Could not agree more, downhill spiral sadly, authors can offer support if they feel like it? I am being used for beta testing for free sometimes or at least thats how it can feel? Waited 2 weeks for a simple response and was slightly dissapointed with the fact that the author chose not to answer, at least Sarah from TF did.
Posted a long opinion in that duplicated post. post deleted => my comment vanished
Basically I would like to say I'm sorry and many of us authors talked about that issue but Envato hardly response.
just wanted to note that 3 and 4 question are based on the assumption that support is mandatory on the marketplace. No author is required to even answer on single question from the buyer. Now, most of us do answer and try to be helpful, but this fact should be taken as an additional unpaid value to your purchase. Requesting fast and unlimited support from authors is absurd when the support is not even required to sell items here. It really turns a big doubt on your knowledge of how this marketplace works and how clear the rules are presented from envato part.
Also authors are allowed to create multiple accounts to sell items if they want to do this
Coming to the number of submissions and exposure on the main page; it is a paradox…
Some authors try to make a unique/outstanding file which really takes time (there are authors spending 2-3 weeks only for the help files) , and by the time they're working on it some authors "create" 2-3 copyCats.
I think current system encourages copycats , and not the authors that creating masterpieces.
Thanks a lot for sharing your thoughts.
+1 to all of that.
I'd also add, a LOT of themes I've purchased recently claim to support some of the older browsers (ie8). However, if you actually purchase them and start to try and use the theme, you quickly discover there are a huge number of problems with older browsers.
Where is the QA?
Yeah, now tell me how come those "same" themes sell 400 pieces every week

Where is the QA?Dan
Not that I don't agree with you Dan, but have you actually tried to test-drive the theme in IE8 before purchasing?
Now I'm not saying that it's just your fault – if someone says his product does X and Y, Envato should make sure it's true. And yes, in a perfect world, you wouldn't need to worry about statements being true.
But we don't live in such a world, so a simple check on your side will make sure nothing like what you said happens
chickscanfly, thanks for taking the time to share this. I do feel the same way, especially when nobody ever gave a f# when I kept on saying that higher prices+lower quality bar = a bad move.
If this marketplace is to not go slowly down the drain, Envato needs to take some radical decisions…
Oh, and about the external support forums. Handling support for 3 Elite authors here, I can say it's much more easier and quicker to handle it like this. You do want support Qs answered fast, right? Others have said it so, yeah, until a decent support system will be in place here, sorry about the frustration, but it's just to serve buyers better IMO .
As author I agree with the point three… why doesn't Themeforest improve the support forum? I had to develop my own forum just because the purchasers can't search the old threads on ThemeForest. It should be a very simple change, I guess.
And another thing: I'm a freelance, I'm alone, I design, develop and give support. lf I go on holyday I can't communicate that to the purchasers… if they purchase a theme made by me they expect to receive support, rightly… but sometimes I can't because of personal problems. I don't want that a user with a near dead-line buy one of my themes if I can't give support in that period, but the authors don't have any control in this sense.

MENTAL health experts are deeply worried about the radio presenters at the centre of the royal prank call controversy, urging the public not to blame them for the suspected suicide of the nurse who took the call.
Mel Greig and Michael Christian, of Sydney's 2Day FM had to close their Twitter accounts on Saturday after social media users accused them of having ''blood on their hands''.
But a leading psychiatrist and former Australian of the Year, Patrick McGorry called for calm, saying suicide was a complex issue that was unlikely to be caused by one individual factor. ''Blame is hardly ever useful,'' he said. ''Most people are in a state of mental ill health leading up to when they kill themselves, and it would have needed more than just that trigger to actually bring that about.
''You could say that a stressful life event like this was a contributory cause, and maybe she wouldn't have killed herself at this point in time without that having happened, but it was likely that there were some other actors going on too.''
Frank Quinlan, of the Mental Health Council of Australia, said targeting the radio presenters could make things worse.

Randy Foye scored a team-high 20 points in the Jazz's 98-91 overtime win over Sacramento on Monday night at EnergySolutions Arena.
Foye's defense and play-making, however, were equally important as Utah avoided what would have been a difficult-to-explain loss to the struggling Kings.
With injuries cutting into the Jazz's group of point guards, Foye finished with six assists.
On the final play of regulation, he was also the primary defender on Tyreke Evans, who couldn't shake him and missed a chance to win the game for Sacramento.
"I thought Randy did a great job," coach Tyrone Corbin said. "He got to initiate, playing point on offense, and he did a great job on the defensive end.
"Even though he got a few fouls early, he continued to fight and make the guys he was guarding work hard for everything they got."
Offensively, Foye went 3-for-5 from the three-point line, including one with 4:13 left in regulation the gave Utah life.
Sacramento owned an 82-75 lead at the time and appeared headed toward victory.
"Big shot for us," Corbin said. "I can't say enough how much of a professional he is. Whatever we need from him to win ball games, he'll do."
Because the Jazz are playing without injured rotation regulars Mo Williams, Gordon Hayward and Earl Watson, Foye picked a good time to play one of his best all-around games of the season.
"Coach spoke to me about it," Foye said. "He just said, 'Don't do anything different. Just go out there and play.'"
The Jazz rallied for an 84-82 lead in the final moments, but they failed to convert their last three possessions.
The Kings went to Evans for the win, but Foye stayed in front of him and prevented a good look at the basket.
"My mentality was, 'It's time to lock up,'" Foye said. "We go through that situation all the time in practice ... so it was just something I had in my head.
"I said, 'He's not going to score on me.' He made some good moves in the game. He put me in foul trouble in the third quarter. But I just said, 'I'm not going to let him score.'"
In overtime, the Kings went back to Evans. But Foye forced him into a turnover and a missed floater as the Jazz seized control.
"That's their offense," said Foye. "It's like we go to Big Al [Jefferson]. It's not like we are trying to go after anyone. That's what we do and that's what they did. He's a great player."
Foye also credited the other four Jazz players for helping defend Evans: "I wouldn't say it was anything I did, really. My teammates were behind me, helping me out and faking at him. We put him in some tough situations."
A closer look
O Veteran shooting guard Randy Foye scores 20 points in the Jazz's 98-91 overtime win over Sacramento.
• Foye also contributes six assists and effective defense in 36 minutes, despite foul trouble.
• On the final play of regulation, Foye prevents Tyreke Evans from winning the game for the Kings.

BIRMINGHAM, AL -- Razelle Toranto, who was part of coin-op's greatest generation, died on Feb. 19. She was 80.
Razelle was a tireless volunteer at many organizations in Birmingham, including Hadassah (the Women's Zionist Organization of America) and the Sisterhood of Temple Beth El.
Razelle was also the daughter of Max and Bek Hurvich. Max and his brother Harry Hurvich began Birmingham Vending Co. by operating machines that dispensed peanuts for 1¢. Known in the vending trade as the "Gold Dust Twins" (both for their reddish-gold hair and their so-called Midas touch), the brothers ran their business in their basements, with the help of their wives, when they got started in 1931, a year before Razelle was born.
The Hurviches eventually moved out of the basement, added music and games to their vending route, and later became equipment resellers. The distributorship sold vending machines, coin-op games and jukeboxes to operators in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi and Tennessee.
Razelle's husband, Albert Toranto, became sales manager of Birmingham Vending in the mid-1960s and eventually took over the business. Today, their son Steve Toranto runs Birmingham Vending as an amusement and music vending operation serving Alabama, Florida and Tennessee. The company also has a robust online equipment marketplace at bhmvending.com.
"She loved life, travel, her husband, children and grandchildren, and she will be missed dearly by those who loved her," Steve Toranto said. Razelle and Albert were married for 48 years before he died in 2000.
In addition to Steve, Razelle is survived by Steve's wife Melanie Toranto, son Barry Toranto and his wife Eva Shoshany, daughter Vicki Spiegelman and her husband Jerry, sister Marion Goodstein and her husband Joe, brother Rico Hurvich and five grandchildren.

Loss is the inevitable that takes us by surprise. The surprise is that it actually happened and then the mysterious journey can be very confusing. Ranging from feeling like you are on a roller coaster to feeling mired in depths of sadness. This journey is made all the more complex if the relationship was unresolved or conflicted. Loss is inevitable and everyone faces it. There is no one path. Many people will believe their is one path and then expect you to be on it or over it. Your path is your path. It is unique and it might have unique stumbling blocks. Your not alone.

Grief and loss is, unfortunately, a normal part of living. There is no single "correct" way to grieve: different cultures and even individuals from the same culture grieve differently. The only consistent feature is that grief takes time. The most effective thing anyone can do for someone grieving is to be there—to listen, to empathize, to walk along with the grief. There is no "fixing" grief. But counseling can help prevent normal grief from developing into major depression or other mental health conditions.

1994 Dodge Stealth R/T Problems
RepairPal has identified the most common problems with the 1994 Dodge Stealth R/T based on complaints from actual vehicle owners. We'll tell you what the problem is and what it'll take to fix it.
Vehicles with automatic transmissions may exhibit a delayed 2/3 or 3/4 upshift when transmission fluid temperature is below 95 degrees Fahrenheit. Our technicians tell us this is considered a normal condition.
The transfer case may develop a leak from the output seal. Our technicians tell us that if the transfer case oil level becomes low severe internal damage will result. Any leaks should be promptly addressed and the oil level should be checked at regular intervals
Tire size mismatch on all-wheel drive vehicles can cause the front and rear driving wheels to "fight" (driveline wrap-up) which can result in drive train failure. Our technicians tell us that original equipment size wheels and tires should always be used to avoid the issue.
The front brake hoses my crack when operated at full steering lock and suspension travel. If this occurs the affected brake hoses should be replaced to avoid a serious loss of braking efficiency.

WESTCHESTER COUNTY, N.Y. -- Nearly 65,000 residents in Westchester, Putnam and Rockland counties now have health insurance via the New York state insurance exchange, according to LoHud.com.
Most of those who enrolled opted for private plans through the marketplace, which is in contrast to the statewide numbers that have 55 percent of the enrolled population under a Medicaid plan, LoHud.com reported.
More than 960,000 residents signed up statewide, and 80 percent were not previously insured, LoHud.com said.

I loved the post on the restoration of Old Customs House – do you have any earlier images of the Old Customs House?
Stepping further back in time this post will look at images of Old Customs House from 1957-1969. Customs officers moved out of Old Customs House in 1965. The building was then used as the Melbourne offices for the Commonwealth Parliament and its local members.
The following images sourced from the National Archives of Australia show the Old Customs House during this period.
Eastern View, Long Room 1957 Image: National Archives of AustraliaSource: National Archives of Australia
The chandeliers, clock and parquetry flooring are no longer a feature of the Long Room today. The restoration of the Long Room included researching the original flooring, and sourcing and laying a near exact copy of the original tiling.

Desks and partitions were installed to create a workspace for office staff.

In this image the lifts are directly opposite the grand staircase on the western side of the building. The lift today is still on the western side but moved about three meters to the left.

One of the main differences here is the glass wall creating a vestibule from the street entrance. Other differences include the central desk and carpeted floor.

The rear courtyard area now features the Immigration Museum's Tribute Garden. There is now also a glass atrium attached to the rear entrance of the building.
The Immigration Museum opened in the Old Customs House in 1998 and houses a number of exciting exhibitions exploring the history of immigration to Victoria, contemporary issues exploring identity, international and local community exhibitions and the history of The Old Customs House.
Immigration Museum is open daily from 10am - 5pm

There is a little more information available on the subject; you may wish to have a look therough the book "A Museum for the People: A History of Museum Victoriaand its predecessor institutions, 1854-2000" by Carolyn Rasmussen et al., which contains an essay on the Immigration Museum that touches on this subject. You may also find this website interesting, as it contains more information on the specific scope of the architectural brief and changes made to the Old Customs House.

Provo • The last time the Cougars played against Gonzaga, an NCAA Tournament-bound BYU team suffered one of the most lopsided losses in the Dave Rose era, falling 77-58 to the Zags at Orleans Arena in March.
The Cougars fell behind early, watched point guard Kevin Pangos shred them for 30 points, and were eliminated in that West Coast Conference semifinal in Las Vegas.
To a man, the Cougars said after practice on Tuesday that the Gonzaga team they lost to twice last year is even better this year. The 15-5 Cougars will test the No. 10 Zags (17-2) at 9 p.m. MST on Thursday at McCarthey Athletic Center, which even the Cougars and their coaches refer to as "The Kennel."
"Year after year, they are so consistent," Rose said. "They are a great offensive team. They play on attack, and this year [their] depth is phenomenal."
Rose said the addition of 7-footer Kelly Olynyk, who redshirted last year, might make this Gonzaga team more difficult to defend, and to score against, than any the Cougars have faced.
It seems like a long time ago, but the Cougars actually had a two-game winning streak over Gonzaga heading into last year's game in Spokane, having knocked the Bulldogs off in an NCAA Tournament second-round game in Denver in 2011 and in the teams' first-ever WCC game at the Marriott Center last year.
The Cougars expect Gonzaga's best shot, and not just because they handed the proud program a couple of losses in the past three years.
"They are coming off a loss, and they are going to be fired up," said BYU senior Brandon Davies. "But they were going to be [fired up] regardless of whether they won or lost that game [at Butler]. That's what good teams do: They prepare themselves and get ready to bounce back."
Awesome arena
The Cougars quickly learned in last year's 74-63 road loss that The Kennel is just as difficult of an arena to visit as anything they faced in the Mountain West Conference, including UNLV's Thomas & Mack Center or New Mexico's Pit.
"It is a great arena," Rose said. "The fans are close, and they are really involved. The student section is terrific. And the tradition that they have there, you can see it in all the fans. They expect to win ... it is a great college [atmosphere]."
RPI and bracket watch
The WCC has four teams in the top 100 in the latest NCAA RPI report, with Gonzaga at No. 9, BYU at No. 42, Saint Mary's at No. 62 and Santa Clara at No. 88. All four are among the 100 highest scoring teams in Division I, with Gonzaga ninth, BYU 18th, Santa Clara 19th and Saint Mary's 23rd. In the latest bracketology projections, ESPN's Joe Lunardi has BYU among his "First Four Out" and has Saint Mary's among his "Last Four In."
Andy Glockner of SI.com has BYU among his first four out.
BYU at No. 10 Gonzaga

Thread: George Zimmerman Trial
Re: George Zimmerman Trial
Chasing? Where is it in the evidence presented thus far that he was chasing Martin?
Now he's running? Ok, where in the evidence is he now running?
For someone who earlier claimed to be basing their opinion on the facts in the case, you're certainly doing a TON of assuming here.

Re: George Zimmerman Trial
Zimmerman's job (any Neighborhood Watch volunteers job) is to keep an eye on people he does not recognize who walk through the neighborhood.
You're still assuming any motivation outside of that.
And the 911 operator doesn't tell Zimmerman to stop. The 911 operator says "OK, we don't need you to do that". Big difference. Follow behind a drunk driver and call 911, they will give you the same cautionary warning but won't really care if you continue to do so.
Re: George Zimmerman Trial
I am still curios though how it is you think Zimmerman confronted Martin got on top of him first (which no one has testified to) and Martin was then able to get the best of a guy 10 years old and 40lbs heavier.We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid. - Benjamin Franklin

Re: George Zimmerman Trial
I don't have the time to follow the details closely. But 2 opinions I have about courtroom testimony in general and how juries relate it to findings of "fact":
> They give a lot of deference to prosecutors and police, because they are the "good guys". Mostly, yes, but not always. Police are just like any other party in a trial: They will spin their testimony to meet their case.
> Eye witness testimony is notoriously suspect with regards to establishing fact.
Not sure what this means in terms of guilt or innocence in terms of Zimmerman. Guess it just means my faith in the courtroom justice system is relatively low.

Re: George Zimmerman Trial
He's running = Trayvon running. You're assuming Zimmerman was running as well. And how do you "hear" someone run? I don't know how you can listen to that call and tell if someone is running, or simply walking at a fast pace. Again, you're making an assumption.
And the 911 operator doesn't tell Zimmerman to stop. The 911 operator says "OK, we don't need you to do that". Big difference. Follow behind a drunk driver and call 911, they will give you the same cautionary warning but won't really care if you continue to do so.
What exactly should I be assuming? That's a fallacious statement and one that assumes that Zimmerman had a clue how old Trayon was. If you look at Trayvon's more recent photos, he appears to me as being much older than 17.
Im not saying Zimmerman had a bad agenda in any of this. I truly think he thought he was doing the right thing. I just think he may have omitted some of what happened, not unlike some of the other discrepancies in his story.
if he doesnt go to jail im not going to feel like justice lost. if he does id probably feel worse about it even though i think he might be. there simply isnt enough to warrant a life sentence on what we know. which is why i take offense to saying "thank god youre not on the jury". i may think theres more to the story, but from the facts there is no "beyond a reasonable doubt". clearly ive been agreeing theres more than one way this went down since the beginning. thats doubt. if i was on the jury i wouldnt convict him either. on a message board, sure ill express my opinion.

Re: George Zimmerman Trial
Okay, I'm not trying to be argumentative, jsut trying to understand where you're coming from. Did you think Mora's testimony was that she saw him on top before the shot?
The main reason I don't think he should go to jail is it's clear if he didn't put a stop to the injuries that were being inflicted he was at the very least going to be seriously, seriously injured.
See above as well. even though im saying i think it may have went down differently, doesnt mean i think theres enough to convict him. maybe thats getting lost in all of this, but ive stated since the beginning hes not going to be convicted and theres more than one way this could have went down, which is doubt.

Re: George Zimmerman Trial
No matter who starts the fight, you cannot, just because you are losing the fight, pull out a gun and shoot someone if you have the ability to run away instead.
And just because you start a fight/confrontation, even with a punch (in a bar for example), does not mean you have tacitly signed onto a fight-to-the-death in the instance where the other guy has you trapped/pinned/disabled to the point you cannot flee, is not letting up, and gives you reason to fear death or great bodily harm.
The entire issue is whether people believe Zimmerman was unable to flee and was reasonable in fearing great bodily harm. That is the entire issue. And this would be the issue with a manslaughter charge as well as the massive 'overcharge' of 2nd degree murder. With the 2nd degree murder charge the prosecutor also has to prove 'malice.'
All the other testimony about who followed whom, who attacked whom, who is/was a racist, who profiled whom is only relevant insofar as it helps the jury determine the credibility of the other testimony that relates to the main issue (did Zimmerman lawfully defend himself according to the law) and insofar as it indicates 'malice.'
And thus far there is a huge lack of any real evidence (of stalking, racism, aggression, etc.) that indicates Zimmerman's version of what occurred is false beyond a reasonable doubt or that there was any 'malice.'
Like I said, he should be found not guilty by a fair jury, especially considering the overcharge (manslaughter would be a closer but still not very close call, imo).
But....the law, as written, often takes a backseat to 'social justice' these days. It happens often in the court of public opinion, but also in actual criminal and civil courts. Juries ignore the law and rule on what 'feels right.' It is unfortunate, but it is 21st century Western culture. And for that reason, I think there is a real (but still below 50%) chance that he is found guilty. In this day and age, a juror who votes for acquittal subjects themselves to ridicule and charges of racism, etc., no matter how unfounded or despicable these charges are. A lot of people/jurors would bow to that pressure and get with the 'social justice' program and just convict.

Re: George Zimmerman Trial
a) There were multiple scratches, bruises, cuts and a broken nose (which if you've ever had one you know you are not coherent for an good 10 -15 seconds after, at least) and b) the injuries stopped cause the gun shot, if he did not stop them it's logical to assume they would have gotten worse and there would have been more of them.
Meh. Someone who couldn't tell if they were men or women fighting orginally, I'm going to take anything she states as a certainty with a grain of salt
There is an actual law that says if you're getting you're ass beat by a smaller guy it's not considered deadly force?-JAB

Re: George Zimmerman Trial
If someone gets the advantage and is on top "ground and pound style", yeah, my first thought will be to get out of it, but once my head bounces off the concrete once or twice, that's the game changer. It can be argued that Trayvon may not have meant to bounce GZ's head off the ground, but it did happen, thus deadly force is justified.

A real examination of a doctor is the best stretch mark removal method to look for the correct laser procedure to work with and just how many sessions are needed. Generally, you can reduce your fee by consulting stretchmarks treatment centers because they don't cost you initially.
