Good news regarding Ohio public pension funds
(Columbus) — Strong investment returns last year have boosted the long-term financial stability of Ohio's public pension funds serving roughly 1.7 million people.
The Dayton Daily News reports the largest of the five funds had a return of 13.9 percent. That gave the Ohio Public Employees Retirement System a record $88.6 billion in assets.
Its director says state pension law changes in 2012 also bolstered the system's financial position.
The Ohio Police & Fire Fund's portfolio was worth $14.1 billion after a 16.5 percent return. The State Teachers Retirement System of Ohio made 17.4 percent, hitting $72.3 billion in assets. The School Employees Retirement System of Ohio logged $21.1 billion after a 16.1 percent return. The Ohio Highway Patrol Retirement System earned 18.8 percent, leaving it with $810 million in assets.

DRAXDLATBLCFDAM: Darrel Ralph Custom Damascus AXD, Blue Anodized Handle with Carbon Fiber Insert
Darrel Ralph Designs
The AXD knife has been a market best seller since Darrel Ralph introduced it in 2002. It has a unique design shape that fits your hand perfectly no matter what size you hand is. The back of the frame has a built in Skull Cracker. Along with it good looks goes the wicked tanto blade style. The Handle has an Aerospace Titanium knife frame, with a blue anodized finish and beautiful blue carbon fiber insert. The solid frame makes out frame lock knife one of the strongest out there. The Damascus blade steel not only looks great but is a great performance steel for edge longevity and corrosion resistance. The opening action is buttery smooth and not just because of the SAO (Spring Assisted Open). Just a little pressure on the flipper sends the blade flying out with no possibility of a partial opening. The spring assisted opening is similar to a switchblade knife in opening speed and action but does not come with the illegality problem of many AUTOs. This custom knife is proudly hand made in the USA by Darrel Ralph and was featured in the blockbuster movie "The Expendables".

A great service. Very communicative and helpful staff, making the experience much less painful than it could have been. Thoroughly efficient job done and good value too. I would certainly recommend Car Technic and will be returning when the next car saga strikes
Great service. Kept me informed all the way. Gave honest, valuable and important advice on the car's status. Highly recommended. A*
Quite simply, brilliant! The service and care was first rate. Will definitely be using Car Technic in the future and would not hesitate to recommend on.
The price for the service was a bit over what was quoted, and unfortunately my car needed a new part which took the price well over the quote. However communication with Daniel was clear and timely, he was able to pick up and drop off the car which was great and he kept me informed of what needed to be done and he was able to order and fit the new part all at the sometime and provided a fully costed receipt, all of which was appreciated. So while more than I was hoping to pay, I was happy with the job and would use Daniel again.
The power steering hose was replaced. Excellent job on a common focus fault. Would recommend this garage for work in future.
Both driveshafts were replaced and, car now accelerates flawlessly. Would recommend this garage for any work in future.
Great mechanic; easy going and accommodating. Recommend

Re: What do with this team. Draft a QB? Troy Smith? Fire Billick? hmmmm
Lets see if I can find my way back to the questions:
1) We don't need to overpay Terrell Suggs.
2) What to do about coaching? I would say fire Brian Billick.
3) At QB, what to do? Draft a QB? Start Troy Smith? Let Boller have at it for 1 more year? Really, the o-line played shitty enough last night (night and day v. the effort against the Patriots) that I don't know if we'll even get to know who the real Kyle Boller is v. the real Troy Smith or anyone else. 1st thing I think is get a real o-line. That'd give someone a real chance
Boller to start. Draft a QB in mid to low rounds to compete with Smith for backup.
5) CB. We need to draft a CB for depth. Our corners are old.
6) DT. We are thin at DT, and need to get healthy and draft more depth.In a 2003 BBC poll that asked Brits to name the "Greatest American Ever", Mr. T came in fourth, behind ML King (3rd), Abe Lincoln (2nd) and Homer Simpson (1st).
Re: What do with this team. Draft a QB? Troy Smith? Fire Billick? hmmmm
T, I'm interested to know why you want to spend a first round pick on a defensive tackle? Ngata and Gregg are a top notch pairing and the offence is still clearly the issue, I'd not mind spending a 3rd (compensatory from Adalius?) or 4th rounder on a DT for depth but I don't think we can afford to spend a first on a defensive tackle.
On the O-line I think we've pretty much got our lot there. I agree that Ogden's gone and I think the only way we're getting line help in is a veteran, don't think we'll be drafting anyone. This line is young enough already, assuming Ogden retires and Flynn is well on the way out, Jason Brown is the most experienced player on this line and we'll need a veteran presence to lead this line for the next three or four years in my opinion which I think we've missed with Ogden either not being in there physically or not being there in terms of full effort.
At QB I don't think we can not draft a guy. I'm highly enamoured with Andre Woodson, I could give a hoot about his funky throwing motion, he's beaten the best with inferior talent and he looks after the ball. He's got everything you look for in a QB IMO, would far rather he than Ryan. Woodson, Brohm and Flacco are my top three from the draft, don't see there being a vet worth anything in free agency.
I've said it before about Suggs, I don't see how we can not keep him. At the very least we need to tag him. He may still not have developed that inside move, but letting him leave means we've lost 20 sacks in two off seasons, that's not something we can overcome. We've still got plenty of talent on this team and completely doing away with our pass rush handicaps us big time with a lack of veteran presence at corner.
Finally, receivers. At tight end either go for a vet, there will be someone to act as a stop gap or I'd like to look at Kellen Davis from Michigan State late on in the draft. Davis isn't much of a blocker (OK we might need to get a blocking TE in as none of Heap, Wilcox or Sypniewski really cuts mustard in that department) but he is an athletic mis-match on the field and would be a great red zone target. At WR, the common denominator I see with our receivers is that they're all small. Clayton and Mason are short in stature and Williams and Darling are both a little on the slight side. We don't have a big receiver who we can go to in tight spots, who will out muscle a guy for a quick slant or whatever, when Heap is out we don't have that there. Instead we're left looking for Mason or Clayton to punch above their weight and out muscle bigger guys on tough routes. I think we'd be well served looking to get someone in.
Long ramblings, I suspect it'll be the first of many, here's to a long season/off-season of discussion, debate and disagreement. :D

Re: What do with this team. Draft a QB? Troy Smith? Fire Billick? hmmmm
Draft a QB to "compete" for the backup spot?
BTW, we've invested HEAVILY in the OL over the past few years.
Why not give them at least half the chances you've given Boller over the years?
You've got rookies in Yanda and Grubbs that were drafted in the 3rd and 1st round respectively. You've got a 2nd year guy in Chester that needs work at center but was drafted in the 2nd round to be the future at center. You've got a 3rd year player in Brown that has shown to be very competent. And you've got another 2nd round guy in Terry who's shown he can play fairly well at left tackle. Not to mention a guy with a high ceiling in Gaither.
But we should draft OL and not QB?
Re: What do with this team. Draft a QB? Troy Smith? Fire Billick? hmmmm
The OL is very much set (aside from center), it is just a matter of when the pieces fall into place. Brown and Grubbs are set, Yanda is likely set at RT, Terry will play LT until Gaither can take over or if Terry impresses. Chester at center is the only real question mark.
Yes, we need a cornerback. But honestly, we can draft a corner this year or next year. We still have McAlister and Rolle. We can sign better stopgap solutions. We have a chance to draft one of the top 2 QBs in the draft..you can't pass that up when you're starting Kyle Boller. Good CBs can be had in free agency and a little later in the draft, especially when you're drafting high 2nd round.
Re: What do with this team. Draft a QB? Troy Smith? Fire Billick? hmmmm
Okay, here's the big question...
I assume everyone here knows that in order to be an elite team, you need a franchise QB, especially in today's game.
That being said, why are some people here content on keeping Boller as the starter, Smith as the backup, and drafting a QB in the late rounds?
Is it because:
-you believe Boller is an elite / franchise QB
-there are no good QBs in the draft worth drafting at our draft position
-you don't think you need an elite QB to win, and Boller is doing a good enough job to beat the best...
This is going to be great, it's lose-lose if you're a harcore Boller supporter, unless you are completely delousional...Season over, guess I'll have to start drinking beer again...
Re: What do with this team. Draft a QB? Troy Smith? Fire Billick? hmmmm
MOst of the non-QB drafters are the ELITE of the Boller fanclub. I was on the hugger side of the wars for YEARS and I am one of the very loudest in pimping Ryan... I really don't understand in ANY manner how ANYONE can look at any position as beign a hihger need then QB. I really don't get it. I've had people attempt to explain it and I still don't get it.

Re: What do with this team. Draft a QB? Troy Smith? Fire Billick? hmmmm
Just to clarify again, I am now officially not against drafting a QB.
What I do think is that we need to learn how to control the point of attack. Flynn is average AT BEST. Chester is a waste of a pick, depth at best.
For drafting needs, if Troy Smith shows anything and we've got Boller for "experience", we have glaring needs at CB, DE, C, and possibly even TE (depth there was exposed)
I hope Troy gets some time this year and that next year we can use a Smith/Boller combo and use draft picks and FA to shore up our larger holes.
I do agree that Boller isn't going to work out here as a starter, but I believe thats true for a VARIETY of reasons, not just something in his head.
Re: What do with this team. Draft a QB? Troy Smith? Fire Billick? hmmmm
That's bullshit Jon. And Crows apparently has just come over here to start shit and egg people on, which is about to land him on my ignore list.
Not drafting a QB in the first round has nothing to do with anything other than seeing equal to more glaring needs on the team. That's the bottom line.
I can't understand after watching our backup CB's play Sunday night and knowing that McAlister and Rolle are getting older and may never be effective like they were, or play a whole season every again, people think that this isn't a pressing need above QB, or some other team is just going to let their playmaker CB's leave in free agency to go to another team. Not going to happen.
I also can't understand how people don't understand the need for a playmaker Wide Receiver. Let's draft a QB and give him the same receivers who can't get seperation or go downfield. Sure, that's the way to build a QB's confidence and abilities on the field. It's worked for us for the last 9 years, hasn't it?
I'm starting to tire of the attempts to "stereotype" those who don't think we just need to draft a QB and damn everything else.
Re: What do with this team. Draft a QB? Troy Smith? Fire Billick? hmmmm
I just found it funny that after all of McNair's terrible performances this year and last, he got absolutely SHIT on, by a group of posters here.
But when Boller plays terrible, it doesn't happen.
I hate to see any of our players get shit on, but the certain bias here towards Boller is frankly disgusting.
Anyway, it's chicken and egg w/ a big play receiver. You need a great QB, not matter what. It's becoming more painfully obvious watching the NFL the past few seasons. I'd believe in getting a #1 receiver, if we had a QB that would take advantage of him, but I don't see Boller doing it.
Yes, there are needs with DE, CB, etc, but the QB is the most important. I am a defensive guy, but a franchise QB is needed. Look at a team like the Colts. They've had porous defense for most of Manning's tenure, but have been an 11, 12 win team for the past 6 years I believe.
Good defenses can be beaten, as we've seen. Good QBs can have shit games, as we've also seen. But in today's NFL, there is more of a chance of beating a good defense unfortunately.

CopenHaggard, I couldn't have said it better myself. McNair was a very quiet, humble guy. I couldn't believe the way some fans reacted to him while, when Boller did the same thing, give a free pass after 5 years of showing nothing.
Actually the players outwardly expressed their desire for McNair not to step down, the fans seem to be the only ones pressing for Boller.
It seems like the fans can't read between the lines after five years - THE PLAYERS DON'T LIKE BOLLER.
Remember Denver in 2005? Derrick Mason, the player who came to Boller's aid when he was being booed after being injured, even lit up Boller after the game. And he was the nicest about it compared to what some of the others had to say.
Even after some tough games this year (behind the same poor blocking which everyone is so quick to point out when Boller screws up), the players expressed their desire for McNair to be their qb.
Boller was drafted higher than he should've been...and he knows it. Heck everyone knows it...except Brian Billick.
You've seen the pictures of him around town partying it up (have you seen some of the Preakness pics with him?). He is a well-educated pretty boy who is just happy to have the money he has so he can live the lifestyle he leads and if he loses, well let's just say he doesn't take it to heart as much as the ultra-competitive types like Ray, JO or Ed Reed does. He doesn't care because he cares more about the fact that he can continue partying with models than winning football games.
Ray, Ed, Terrell all care about money, but losing makes them sick to their stomach. Ray makes a ton of money; he is not satisfied though because of losing.
I want guys turning over in their sleep when they lose, I want them to want to win that much.
Re: What do with this team. Draft a QB? Troy Smith? Fire Billick? hmmmm
Next, Stinger, you are BY FAR the most reasonable and logical on that side of the fence. You put actual thought into what you say and hwo you watch the game. I'm not sayign that we should take Woodson over Chris Long to make SURE we get a 1st round QB, but all things being equal(player talent) I'd rather take a QB. What I mean by that is that I'd personally take either Brohm or Ryan over Calais Campbell or any of the corners. This is primarily due to my perceived need at the QB position, but als oplays into the fact thtat an ELITE CB will be available at the top of 2, and Langford from Hampton should be available late 2 or early 3. MY personal opinion is that the high -end QB's are more spread from the middle guys then defenders are. This is usually the case. Also I think our D is still more hten adequate, at this point, with injuries. so...
I agree we need a playmaking WR and 3rd down back too. The thing is, these guy sare ready to play day 1. Whats the point of gettign Mario Manningham or steve Slaton when we can't get the ball out of the QB's hands...
We have one of the WORST set of QB's in the league. We have one of the BEST sets of CB's and DE's in the league. They may have been hurt this year, but they are there. A QB is not. Agree or disagre, it's fun to discuss at the least.
Re: What do with this team. Draft a QB? Troy Smith? Fire Billick? hmmmm
As far as the Monday night disaster goes, of course they said he'd underperformed, saying anything else would have been absurd. But overall they have been consistently supportive of *each* starting QB when it was his turn to throw the ball.
Concerning a 'bias' on this forum, I really don't see it. All reasonable viewpoints have their mouthpieces, as far as I can tell.Festivus
His definitions and arguments were so clear in his own mind that he was unable to understand how any reasonable person could honestly differ with him.

In this season, it is fitting that Michael Cuddyer is representing the Twins at the All-Star Game. Cuddyer is the longest tenured Twins player and he had the closest relationship with Killebrew. Cuddyer has moved all over the field again this season to help the Twins in any defensive position. As the Twins have improved in the months of June and July, Cuddyer's bat has heated up along with the team. He is currently leading the team in BA, HR, OBP, H, TB, BB, SLG, and OPS. The Twins have struggled on offense for different parts of the season but Cuddyer has become a consistent force in the middle of the line-up for a resurgent team.
Johan Santana Pitcher of the Year: Scott Baker, RHPBaker has quietly been having a very excellent first half of the season for the Minnesota Twins. On a team that struggled for consistency from their starting pitching, Baker has been a pitcher the Twins could rely on for a solid outing. The month of June was an excellent one for Baker as he was able to compile four wins out of his six starts in the month. Baker managed to have an ERA of 2.45 with 40 K and an opponent BA of .236 during June. At the All-Star break, Baker leads the starters on the Twins in W, ERA, and K. The Twins hope his elbow issues to end the first half will not carry over to the second half because the team will need more of the consistency that Baker has offered.
Rick Aguilera Relief Pitcher of the Year: Glen Perkins, LHPThe Twins bullpen has struggled throughout the first half of the season. One player has been able to shine in the midst of the darkness from the bullpen. Glen Perkins has been a shining star and the most reliable option for the Twins in the late innings of games. This is the first season that Perkins has been able to latch on to his role in the bullpen and he has come gunning out of the chute. His velocity and movement have increased on his pitches and he has looked nasty at times. He leads the team in holds this season and he has even been able to pick up the first two saves of his career. Twins fans can bet that they will see plenty more from Perkins in the second half.
Rod Carew Rookie of the Year: Ben Revere, CFOne of the key players in the Twins resurgence during the first half was Ben Revere. In the absence of Denard Span, Revere has been a serviceable lead-off hitter with the ability to play tremendous defense. Since Revere was called up the second time this season, the Twins are 24-11 in games he has started. His speed on the base paths has been a threat the Twins have utilized in their run game. When Revere is able to get on base, the pitcher is forced to give more fastballs to Alexi Casilla. The results have been very positive for both of these players. Revere is still a rookie so there are things that he can continue to work on in the second half of the season. The Twins could have a very full outfield in the second half but Gardenhire will find ways to plug Revere into the line-up.

About Your Award
What makes up a financial aid award?
Your Financial Aid Award lists:
What is the Cost of Attendance?
Your estimated Cost of Attendance (COA) for the 2015-2016 academic year is $35,386 which includes the following:
This includes both direct and indirect costs. That means that this amount is NOT what you will pay to the school. You can receive financial aid for living expenses while you are enrolled.
What determines a financial aid package?
The expected family contribution (EFC) is the amount determined by Federal calculations that your family can contribute toward your Cost of Attendance. This amount is calculated through needs analysis using the information you submitted on your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FASFA). Your EFC can be found on the Student Aid Report (SAR). Your Financial Need is the Cost of Attendance minus the EFC. This amount determines the types and amount of Federal and institutional financial aid for which you may be eligible.
Financial Aid, excluding Federal Work-Study, is credited to your student account at the beginning of each semester.
Federal Work-Study funds are paid directly to you each month for the hours you work.
What is the Parent PLUS option listed on my award letter?
A PLUS Loan is a federal loan that the parent may borrow for the student. If you accept the PLUS Loan, your parent must complete a Loan Request form and a Master Promissory note.
What if I am awarded Federal Work-Study?
The Federal Work-Study Program allows you to obtain a Work-Study job, for which you will be paid monthly. If you are awarded Work-Study and do not wish to accept this award, reject the award on the on-line financial aid award notification. Work-Study is not deducted from your institutional charges.
If you were not awarded Work-Study and are interested in receiving it, contact the Financial Aid Office. If you are eligible, you may be placed on a waiting list for Work-Study funding. This list is reviewed on a first come, first served basis after each semester (Fall/Spring) begins.
What if the information on my award letter is inaccurate?
Your award is based on factors as indicated on the FASFA you completed. Unless otherwise indicated, it has been assumed that you will be enrolled full time for fall and spring semesters. If this assumption is not correct, or if you find other inaccurate information, please notify our office immediately.
How will I receive my loan funds?
Federal Perkins Loans are electronically transferred from the Financial Aid Office to the Business Office on the first day of classes. Federal Stafford and PLUS Loan are transferred through an electronic funds transfer (EFT) process where your proceeds are sent to the college and deposited directly into your student account and credited to your outstanding charges. Any credit balance remaining will be available for you to pick up in the Business Office.
What if my financial aid does not cover my bill?
You must pay any institutional charges not covered by your financial aid by the payment due date. Payment arrangements can be made with the Business Office.
What if my financial aid is more than my bill?
If your Federal Financial Aid is more than your institutional charges, you will receive these funds to help with living expenses. If there are any funds remaining after the institutional charges are applied, a refund will be available for pick up at the Business Office.
Questions regarding processing of refund checks should be directed to the Business Office at (406)791-5245
What if I receive resources from an outside source after I am packaged and it is not listed on my financial aid award?
Any outside educational funding must be reported to the Financial Aid Office as soon as possible. Prompt reporting of additional funding could prevent having to repay a portion of your federal financial aid.
Will my award ever change?
Your award may be affected by many factors, including changes in Federal, State, or institutional aid, or the number of credits for which you enroll.
The Office of Financial Aid will notify you of any changes to your award by sending you a postcard informing you of your revised financial aid package that can be viewed on-line.
What if my financial aid situation changes dramatically during the year?
If your financial situation changes dramatically during the academic year, such as loss of job, you may be eligible for a special circumstance consideration. Completion of a Special Circumstances Form is required.
I have read my award information and am ready to proceed to review my award.

LISTEN: Parmalee delivers 'Carolina' pop remix
Listen to Parmalee on iHeartradio
Parmalee has quickly become one of the most promising country groups in recent years, garnering their first No. 1 smash hit last year with "Carolina." Lifted from their Feels Like Carolina debut set, these boys dive headfirst into a hot remix and are ready to take the Top 40 charts by storm. The band is comprised of brothers Matt and Scott Thomas (lead vocals/ guitar and drums, respectively), cousin Barry Knox (bass) and life long best friend Josh McSwain (guitar).
"Carolina," which is a tribute to the band's home state of North Carolina, became a multi-week No. 1 on the Mediabase and Billboard radio charts. As the longest-climbing single by a duo or group in the history of the Billboard Country Airplay chart, it has been certified gold by the RIAA with sales exceeding 500,000 downloads. This milestone leads the group to have the first No. 1 by a duo or group since Florida Georgia Line. That's marvelous company to be in!
Last year, the group was selected by Southwest Airlines to perform inflight from Nashville to Houston, singing their songs for passengers 35,000 feet in the air. Talk about an insurmountable accomplishment! It doesn't get any higher than that!
Parmalee's influences truly do run the gamut, from the Allman Brothers to Travis Tritt to Bob Seger.
If this new "hot mix" is any indication, these boys could become superstars in 2014. Watch out!

Letter From The NWHM Founder
We have an exciting project to share with you. If our core of national volunteers is any indication, a tidal wave of interest in women's history is sweeping over America. In response, we have founded the National Women's History Museum in Washington, DC to preserve and celebrate the story of Woman.
Historians and other scientists have recovered the profound social, intellectual, and scientific history of women over the past 50 years. How empowering to discover that women originated or were major contributors in so many fields-from agriculture, medicine, and mathematics to religion, philosophy, and art. There are untold numbers of women who have made significant contributions to the world. In addition to learning of specific contributions, we are only now gaining a full understanding of how civilization evolves through the power of feminine values and women's enduring traditions. Yet, nowhere can one find a repository of those traditions and contributions. A quick inventory of typical history books, museums, and public spaces proves this. Typically, only scholars specifically researching women's history learn of this rich heritage. Even they are surprised to find that documentation of women's history has been repeatedly unearthed, reclaimed, and lost. Christine de Pizan first wrote on women's history in 1405. Aphra Behn recovered the history of women in 1660; Mary Astell in 1694; Lady Mary Worlley Montague in 1734; Matilda Joslyn Gage in 1873; Virginia Woolf in 1932; and Mary Ritter Beard in 1946.
A better world awaits the generation that absorbs what women and men have to share about life from a joint perspective.
Today, with advanced mass communication and more access to economic power, we can make women visible. Imagine the world if we had only built upon Christine de Pizan's work for the past 600 years instead of having had to rediscover and reclaim the heritage of women each generation. What would be the current state of our technology if we had been forced to literally reinvent the wheel every fifty years? For the sake of our children, both male and female, we must not allow our heritage to be lost again.
If we and future generations are to learn all the lessons of the past upon which to build the future, we must be aware of the true experiences and contributions of women. Clearly, men cannot get there alone. Together, all things are possible.Sincerely,
Karen K. Staser
Founder, NWHM

Reds manager Dusty Baker's plan was for Rolen to play 120 games last year. He ended up playing in 65 and starting 60 before his left shoulder sidelined him for the year. The shoulder required surgery on Aug. 3.
"I feel good," he said. "I have more range of motion than I've had in the last four or five years."
The Reds haven't determined how many games Rolen will play, but he will get regular rest.
"I don't know," Baker said. "I can't put a number on it. His body is going to dictate that. Quite frankly, I'm hoping for more. That was just a number I had picked. Last year was a tough year."
Rolen will continue beyond this season. He's in the final year of his contract. He was asked if retiring after this year was a possibility.
"I don't know," he said. "I'm looking for words. Obviously, 'no' would be (the answer). I'm not spending much time on that. If this is my last year -- right now I have one year on my contract -- so if this is my last year, I want to make sure I get out and play. I want to be accountable for this year. From that point, one of the disappointments I had last year, I feel as an everyday player one of your most important jobs is your responsibility to your position, to your team. You're accountable for happens on the field. I wasn't able to do that.
"I'm looking pretty present right now, just getting on the field."
Reds Notes & Quotes
"I'm super excited," Marshall said. "Since day one when I came to the new facility here and got to meet my Reds teammates and staff and got to be back with (manager) Dusty (Baker) and the coaches I was with, they were all very welcoming. I've been very excited so far in spring training."
Marshall spent the first six years of his career with the Cubs. He played for Baker in Chicago in 2006, back when Marshall was a starter.
He's reinvented himself as one of the game's most effective left-handers out of the bullpen the last two seasons. Marshall's ERA was 2.65 in 2010, then dipped to 2.26 in 2011.
Marshall has averaged 75 innings per season the last two years, and he struck out 79 in 75 2/3 innings last season, a commodity the Reds paid handsomely for.
"I feel like my deal is just as good as I could get as a free-agent pitcher," Marshall told MLB.com. "It's peace of mind. For me, it's going to ease some pressure off of me and make me perform well. Peace of mind is a good thing to have for my family. I think really highly of the front-office staff for even proposing a long-term extension to me. I am forever thankful for that."
The Reds are also looking at Marshall as an option when closer Ryan Madson needs an off day.
"I thought it would be over with by now," Phillips said. "It is what it is. The only thing I can do is go out there and play the game, do what's best for the team. I love the moves we made to make the team better. That's what it's all about. We can all go out and get things done. My day will come. I'm not really worried about it. I'm letting my agent and the Reds take care of that themselves. It would have been nice coming to camp knowing things were done."

The suspect ran back to his vehicle and drove away from the scene, the girl told police.
The suspect is described as a man in his 30 s with a light complexion, possibly Hispanic, between 6-foot-1 and 6-foot-2, with medium build, short dark brown shaggy hair and wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and blue jeans.

Hi everyone, I just wanted to share my experiences on this clinical Trial. My mother is in this trial and it is stablizing her cancer in her Bile duct. Last July of 2008 she was told she had months to live from 4 doctors with standard chemo and I search for days with Gods help and found this clinical trial . Dr Saab is a great doctor and gave MOM "hope" for the first time. I would highly recommend this Doctor and drug to anyone. I do want to add not everyone will have the same results. It depends on if you have the protein that works with AZD6244. My mother just came back last week from the beach trip that took 12 hours to get there. While she was there she went para-sailing for the first time in her life. I hope this may help someone out there that is trying to find treatment for their love ones. I know what it's like to search and feel helpless. If anyone wants to email me they can at :email@example.com Peace to eveyone,
Oh my goodness, what a wonderful story. Thank you so much for that good news and our hope is for your mother to keep up the good work. Para sailing???? Fabulous.
Hello Lucy....your story is inspiring and it spreads much needed hope. Thank you so much for posting this. I am so glad that you have joined us.

(Corrects Cantor's age to 49 in paragraph 11)
* Chief Obama critic says he hopes to work with president
* Cantor calls for initiatives in education, healthcare, immigration
By Thomas Ferraro
WASHINGTON, Feb 5 (Reuters) - Eric Cantor, the combative second-ranking Republican in the U.S. House of Representatives, launched a major rebranding of his party on Tuesday, saying he hoped Republicans and President Barack Obama could "set differences aside" in the interest of helping ordinary Americans.
While giving no ground on any of the outstanding differences between House Republicans and Obama in a speech prepared for delivery to the American Enterprise Institute, the change in tone from one of the most partisan leaders of the House was striking.
It followed months of rethinking among Republicans about their image among Americans following Obama's victory in the November election and their recent retreat from a confrontation they had looked forward to over the nation's borrowing limit.
Cantor, who has been one of Obama's toughest adversaries over the past two years, made only passing reference to the bitter fights with Obama over "cliffs, debt ceilings and budgets" in which he has played such a visible role.
While giving no ground on those or any other issues, he said it was time to focus on "what lies beyond" them, including education, jobs, healthcare and innovation.
Similarly, he made no particular concessions on comprehensive immigration reform which is being advanced by Obama and a bipartisan group of U.S. senators.
But he spoke sympathetically of the aspirations of immigrants, both documented and undocumented.
"It is my hope that I can stand before you in two years and report back that our side, as well as the president's, found within us the ability to set differences aside, to provide relief to so many millions of Americans who simply want their lives to work again," Cantor said.
A Washington Post-ABC News/Washington poll last month found that 67 percent of Americans say that Republicans are doing "too little" to work with Obama.
The survey gave Republicans in Congress an approval rating of 24 percent, compared to a 37 percent rating for Democrats. Obama's approval recently hit a four-year high of 60 percent.
Cantor, 49, is widely seen as a possible successor to John Boehner, 63, as House Speaker, the chamber's top job.
While the two insist that they have a close working relationship, at times they have offered competing visions. On Tuesday, however, Boehner said they were on the same page.
Speaking with reporters after a meeting with House Republicans, Boehner said, "As I told the members, Eric's giving a very important speech."
"While there's a lot of focus on the deficit and debt, there are a lot of other things that Republicans plan to do over the course of this year," Boehner said.
"And if we're going to connect with the American people, it's important that they see, not only that we're serious about solving our debt problem, but we're serious about addressing issues like energy, like education, to show really the breath of the effort that we're involved in," Boehner added.
During the past two years, the White House has tried to make Cantor the face of congressional Republicans, and has made it clear that Obama prefers working with Boehner.
In an apparent effort to present a softer personal image, Cantor punctuated his prepared speech with references to a long lineup of people, including his wife and three children, his dad, a Baltimore nurse and a police officer from his hometown of Richmond, Virginia.
He spoke of visiting an inner-city school this week, and introduced a student from the school and his father.
"Our solutions will be based on the conservative principles of self reliance, faith in the individual, trust in the family and accountability in government," Cantor said. (Editing by Fred Barbash and Eric Walsh)

CROSSVILLE, TN (WSMV) -More than 30 teens in custody of the Department of Children's Services have run away from the same school for troubled boys in Crossville in the past three years, including two for whom there is now an active search.
Jason Crow said he thought when he put his 15-year-old son, Jacob, in DCS custody at the Cumberland Mountain School for Boys, Jacob would be safe.
But three weeks ago, Jacob and another 15-year-old simply walked away from the Crossville facility and haven't been seen since.
"It's unexplainable. It's awful," Jason Crow said.
And Jacob is not alone. The Channel 4 I-Team has confirmed in the past three years, 37 teenagers at the facility have run away, leaving Crossville police to scramble to find them.
"It ties up a lot of our officers' time, having to go out there to run these kids down," said Crossville Police Maj. Terry White.
As for the security at the facility, there really isn't any. There's no fence and no guards, nothing to keep a kid from walking away.
The Upper Cumberland Human Resources Agency runs the school and says it's not a locked-down facility and can only encourage the teens not to runaway.
"I think we just need to sit down and reevaluate who's appointing the kids there, why are they putting them there and we're going to have to find a way to eliminate the runaways," White said.
For Jason Crow, it's twice as frustrating. His older son also ran away from a facility contracted with DCS just a month ago. He was found, but Jacob is still missing.
DCS spokesman Rob Johnson said, in a statement:
"We are doing everything we can to help find this youth. We are working with our provider agency and with law enforcement. Kids don't always make the best decisions, and when they walk away from a group home like this, they expose themselves to a lot of unforeseen dangers. We're very concerned, and we know his family is, too."

It can manage one or more animations that may run in parallel. Each animation is composed of a sequence of steps that apply individual effects to Web page elements. Currently, it supports the following effects: showing or hiding page elements, fading in, fading out, and replacing, appending, or prepending HTML to a page element, sliding in and out a page element, scrolling the page to make an element visible, showing a number incrementing gradually until it reaches a given value, and giving emphasis to a page element by drawing a circle around it or underlining with lines drawn on HTML5 canvas objects. It also supports pseudo-effects for synchronization purposes like canceling a parallel animation or waiting for a given period of time.
The picosnippet() function provides very simple and easy-to-use HTML/DOM templating capabilities. It does not use any sort of special templating syntax: the template can be any valid HTML element. The data, represented by JavaScript associative arrays, are spliced into a copy of the template using simple, consistent, and easy to remember rules. This allows the user to completely separate the HTML markup from the application JavaScript logic without using complicated libraries.

Pre-Medical ProfessionClass of
Through Hurricanes for Health Care - When a pre-med student enrolls at a small, Christian college, some people might question the decision. Imagine their expressions when he's later hired for general surgery at one of America's most prestigious hospitals. The story is Dr. Benjamin Siebert's, whose journey, though far from ordinary, was surprisingly apt.
His lifelong medical dreams came to fruition on mission trips to rural Mexico and Guatemala in high school and college. There, Ben got a firsthand look at the dismal health care in poor communities overseas. The disabled bore the brunt of the need, passed over due to lack of resources. It seared his conscience.
Ben attended two large public universities before transferring to CCU, and he was encouraged by what he discovered here. "I had great learning resources, practical labs, and ample opportunities to meet with professors," he says. Several of his classmates went on to success, including his wife who graduated at the top of her master's program at Seton Hall.
Turning to med school, Ben found that St. George's University in Grenada had a very respectable track record of placing graduates professionally. A family friend who was a practicing physician had been a visiting professor there and encouraged him to consider the offshore option. Going to school outside the country adds some logistical complications, but Ben navigated them and arrived at school to find a mountain of books and labs waiting.
As if getting overseas and launching into med school wasn't enough, Hurricane Ivan smashed the Caribbean island a month after Ben arrived, and SGU was evacuated within one week. In the aftermath, the medical community found the nation in shambles, so they held local health fairs and expanded volunteer services to the needy. Meanwhile, Ben resumed studies which he characterizes as intensely opposite the idyllic impression of the region candied with resorts—in his opinion the education was superb. When the Cleveland Clinic extended him an internship in general surgery, who could argue? The multispecialty center is regarded as one of the top four hospitals in the United States.
A grueling intern year later, with incredible experience under his belt, Ben moved on to pursue his intended field of physical medicine and rehab, or physiatry. He's now a second-year resident at Detroit's Rehabilitation Institute of Michigan, part of another large multispecialty center. The hours are demanding, although not as intense as surgery, yet he's found a perfect blend of practice and patient care. "It's wonderful to sit and talk with patients while evaluating, treating, and helping them understand their issues," he says. What's more, he sees it as serving God by serving others in the best manner he knows.
No one expected Ben's way into medicine would mean sailing through storms in the West Indies. But having learned outside America makes sense, considering his original seeds of inspiration were sowed beyond our borders. The residency is a near final step toward his becoming a specialized physician. He's unsure where he'll go next, but a well-rounded doctor certainly has options. Lately he's been thinking about Tijuana's poor outlying villages, Chichicastenango or Santa Cruz del Quiché.

Justin Bieber & Cody Simpson Releasing Duets Album
Listen to Justin Bieber Radio on iHeartRadio
Justin Bieber is apparently making time for some new music in the midst of ongoing legal and personal drama.
Aussie singer Cody Simpson tells the Sydney Daily Telegraph that he and Bieber have recorded a full album of duets. After teasing photos on Instagram earlier this summer, Cody says the collection of songs they wrote and recorded together will be out by this November.
When asked about Justin's reputation, the 17-year-old former "Dancing With The Stars" contestant says he doesn't "get involved" with that part of his musical partner's life. Cody says Bieber has "always been extremely cool and generous" to him, but adds that they are "definitely different people and come from different places and different worlds."

The Dodgers will be a walking injury update when spring training begins.
The list is long: Chad Billingsley's right elbow, Ted Lilly's left shoulder, Scott Elbert's left elbow, Kenley Jansen's heart, A.J. Ellis' knee and Carl Crawford's right elbow.
But none will get the same attention as Matt Kemp's surgically repaired left shoulder. The star center fielder was bothered by a torn labrum all September; he had surgery to repair the labrum and debride his rotator cuff on Oct. 5.
After a lengthy rehab Kemp has only been hitting the last two weeks, but his progress report Saturday was positive. Although he hasn't faced live pitching yet - just soft toss and hitting off a tee - Kemp said the shoulder feels "good" so far.
"Every day gets better and better," he said.
Asked if he will be ready to play on Opening Day, "that's definitely going to happen," Kemp said. "I'll be good."
Kemp was batting .337 on Aug. 28 when he hurt the shoulder crashing into the center-field wall at Coors Field. He was bothered by the injury the rest of the season and hit .214 with 35 strikeouts in 28 games.
Even though he didn't match his near-Triple Crown numbers of 2011, the Dodgers went 60-45 with Kemp in the starting lineup in 2012. Without Kemp, the Dodgers were 26-31.
McGwire reflects
New Dodgers hitting coach Mark McGwire failed to gain induction to the Hall of Fame in his seventh year on the ballot on Jan. 9. Ten days later, he lost a friend in St. Louis Cardinals great Stan Musial.
Neither came as a surprise.
"I got to know his roommate Red (Schoendienst) very well," said McGwire, who served as the Cardinals' hitting coach the last three years. "Red's locker was right next to mine in the coaches' room the last three years. Red would fill everybody in on how (Musial) was doing the last three years. He's in a better place today."
Musial, considered one of baseball's all-time greatest hitters, was a frequent visitor to Busch Stadium during McGwire's career as a Cardinal.
"I've had a couple opportunities to go to dinner with him and Tony La Russa," McGwire said. "Just a great man, great person. Treated everybody the same.
"You get to be around some of the best players in the game. Stan was one of the ones I'll always cherish."
As for the Hall of Fame, McGwire repeated his mantra of acceptance that he and other steroid users will not be elected by the Baseball Writers' Association of America.
But 2013 was the first year for Mike Piazza and Craig Biggio on the ballot, who have not been dogged by allegations of performance-enhancing drug use. Suspected users like Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens and Sammy Sosa were on the ballot. None made it in.
Will their fates ever change?
"That's a good question," McGwire said. "Numbers are numbers. It's based on numbers. But (the voters) have made a stance. It's unfortunate."
Battery issues
Dodgers catcher A.J. Ellis will have his hands full this spring. New left-hander Ryu Hyun-Jin only began learning English over the past few months and Ellis doesn't speak any Korean.
Ellis won't attempt to become fluent in Korean, similar to how former Dodgers catcher Mike Scioscia learned Spanish during Fernando Valenzuela's rookie season of 1981. But he's eager to put in some work during spring training.
"Whenever I get to meet the translator, I'll work with him and communicate with him about key words," Ellis said. "It is a priority."
Fortunately, Major League Baseball recently approved a rule allowing interpreters to stand in during mound visits this season.
"It's going to be huge," Ellis said. "It's going to be a nice asset for when (manager) Don (Mattingly) or when (pitching coach Rick) Honeycutt comes out to the mound, to get a feel for what's going on out there. It's going to be a nice bonus."
Ellis said the team sent him video of Ryu pitching, as well as new right-hander Zack Greinke. There's no language barrier with Greinke, but the pitcher plans to show up early to spring training to familiarize himself with his new team.
Even though Ellis feels caught up after watching video, he said "it's all about building that trust and communication. That's what spring training is for."

Rabbi Saperstein: "This BDS effort will not advance the cause of peace nor will it improve the lives of Palestinians or Israelis."
Contact: Sean Thibault or Katharine Nasielski
202.387.2800 | email@example.com
JULY 6, 2012, WASHINGTON DC - In response to the Presbyterian Church (USA)'s rejection of the call to divest from companies doing business with Israel, Rabbi David Saperstein, Director of the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism, issued the following statement:
On behalf of the Union for Reform Judaism whose 900 congregations across North America encompass 1.5 million Reform Jews, and the Central Conference of American Rabbis, with membership of more than 1800 Reform rabbis, we welcome the Presbyterian Church (USA)'s decision not to divest from companies doing business with Israel. We share the church's interest in advancing the cause of peace between Israel and her neighbors. Divestment, along with boycotts and sanctions, are not the way to achieve that goal in the context of the Israeli _ Palestinian relationship. Such BDS proposals are misguided, unjustified, and harmful, doing nothing to advance the cause of peace or improve the lives of Palestinians or Israelis. BDS proposals like those before the PC(USA) reflect an unfair, one-sided viewpoint that blame Israel for the failure to achieve peace in the Middle East without acknowledging the responsibilities and actions of the Palestinians.
The PC(USA) at its past four General Assemblies has rejected calls for BDS targeted only at Israeli companies. We are deeply appreciative of the persistence of the many national and local leaders who continue to reject this counter-productive approach in the face of such persistent pressure. We commend the Reform Movement's local rabbis and lay leaders who reached out to Presbyterian colleagues and interfaith partners to ensure that this initiative was unsuccessful. At the same time, this speaks of the need to do more to educate church members and others about the realities of BDS and Israels relationship with the Palestinian people. We offer our help in doing so.
Additionally, after yesterday's laudable decision to oppose divestment from companies that do business with Israel, we were disappointed to see that new resolutions were adopted today in support of boycotts of settlement goods. As we have often said, boycotts and divestment policies do not reflect a balanced approach to the challenges of Middle East peace and are counter-productive to achieving that goal which we all share.
We hope that PC(USA)'s leadership and General Assembly will forego consideration of similar proposals at future gatherings and instead will work toward a more positive and constructive approach to promoting peace between the Palestinians and Israelis.

Michael van der Ham Fall 2011
Michael van der Ham's tweaking his image as the boy who does mixed-media collaged dresses. "I wanted to strip it down this season, and use only one fabric at a time—it's the same technique, but I wanted the cut to show." What his opening dresses—pink, red, turquoise, mauve, orange, navy, gold, all in deep-pile panne velvet—proved is van der Ham's eye for sumptuous color. Each one of them was cut and pieced asymmetrically, with a draped shoulder here and a long single-sleeve there.
Striking as those were, van der Ham is aware of the danger of getting stuck in the short-party-dress rut. This season he developed trousers as an alternative, and more grown-up cocktail options: chiffon and georgette for fluid pants, with more of his panne velvet as bodice tops in slightly contrasting shades.
He also branched out into knit pieces for the first time, translating his taste for patchwork into purple and lavender jacquard sweaters, and cardigans with outcrops of gold lamé cabbage-roses. If those were a smart addition to his line, his other foray, into tailoring jackets, proved the glitch. Bouclé wool is bulky at the best times, and van der Ham's attempt to make outerwear did look unattractively lumpy. In all, though? It was a positive step out of his usual comfort zone, which needed to happen. Next, he should work on finessing his choices of fabrics and learning tailoring skills. There's a fine line between charming and spontaneous and outright clumsy, and his jackets crossed it.

Putnam woman accused of stealing from disabled
Published: Wednesday, April 10, 2013 at 3:40 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, April 10, 2013 at 3:40 p.m.
A Putnam County woman has been arrested on 14 charges relating to stealing more than $20,000 from 13 disabled adults.
Tammi Marie Carnes owned Palatka-based O'Carroll Homes Inc., group homes for disabled adults, where she allegedly stole the money from its residents. According to the investigation, Carnes used these stolen funds for personal expenses, such as credit card debt and gift cards.
The Attorney General's Medicaid Fraud Control Unit arrested Carnes, with assistance from the Putnam County Sheriff's Office, on one count of organized scheme to defraud, a second-degree felony, and thirteen counts of exploitation of a disabled adult, third-degree felonies.
If convicted on all counts, Carnes faces up to 80 years in prison and $75,000 in fines.
O'Carroll Homes Inc. was closed by the Agency for Persons with Disabilities in April 2011.

Campus Orchestra to present fall concert Nov. 18
The Campus Orchestra at the University of South Carolina will present its fall concert Nov. 18 at 7:30 p.m. in the School of Music recital hall. It is free and open to the public.
Directed by Neil Casey, the Campus Orchestra will perform Johann Sebastian Bach's "Mein Jesu" (transcribed by Leopold Stokowski); John Rutter's "Suite for Strings" in four movements; "Adagio" by Tomaso Albinoni, arranged by Remo Giazotto; and Mozart's "Symphony No. 29 in A-major.
"Mein Jesu" is a romanticized transcription of a dark and serious Bach work for Stokowski's large string section. The work will feature the orchestra's cello section.
Each movement in "Suite for Strings" is based on a folk song. John Rutter is known for his choral writing, but this piece has many of the sound characteristics one would find in his choral writing. It's a very simple melodic work, highlighted by the third movement, "O Waly, Waly." The concertmaster, Lauren Garber, has many solos in this piece.
The focus of "Adagio" is the organ. Albinoni is commonly mentioned as the composer of the piece, but only the ground bass notes are his. Giazotto wrote the piece and, like the Stokowski transcription, it's romantic and not baroque, as some might expect.
"Symphony No. 29 in A-major" is one of Mozart's most popular symphonies. It is in four movements and features Mozart's soaring melodies and difficult horn parts.

The following statement can be attributed to Charles B. Reed, chancellor, California State University
May 20, 2009 – "With the results of the special election known, the California State University faces accumulated cuts totaling $410 million in its 2009-10 budget that will severely impact our ability to provide student access to our universities, maintain our workforce, preserve services, and protect the quality of our institutions.
"We know that there will be very challenging and difficult times ahead. In the coming weeks, the campus presidents and I will be meeting to address how to move forward to address these fiscal issues and to develop a plan of action in consultation with our Board of Trustees. These are all very hard decisions and there are no good options. We will all need to work together to explore what is feasible with the primary goals of serving our students and preserving as many jobs as possible."
CSU has already implemented a number of cost cutting measures including a salary freeze for vice president/chancellor level positions; a hiring freeze on non-essential positions; cancellation of all non-critical equipment and supplies purchases and travel restrictions for employees. In addition for the first time in its history, CSU declared systemwide impaction to limit the number of new students entering in fall 2009, due to the state's inability to fully fund enrollment growth and operational needs. CSU currently has more than 450,000 students attending its 23 campuses.
Overall, the CSU budget includes almost $2.7 billion in state General Fund and $1.5 billion in student fee revenue. The proposed reduction of $410 million represents a 15 percent reduction in General Fund support.

WATCH: Kardashians Christmas card mocked by Conan O'Brien
Conan O'Brien believes he's uncovered a hidden message in the Kardashians' Christmas card - one that says "WE SUCK."
As Gossip Cop previously reported, the 2013 card was unveiled at the end of the family's Christmas special on Sunday.
The images, conceptualized and shot by celeb photog David LaChappelle, feature nods to the Kardashians' controversial fame.
But did O'Brien really uncover one more? Check out Conan's version of the Kardashian Christmas card below!
