A FLINTSHIRE councillor who is top of the county council's expenses league says he claims more than other members because he takes the role seriously.
Green Party activist Cllr Klaus Armstrong-Braun was paid £1,373 in meal and travelling allowances from January to September, while half the members of the council didn't claim a penny.
Council leader Cllr Alex Aldridge said he was shocked by the level of Cllr Armstrong-Braun's expenses, adding: 'They are 140% higher than my own, yet he can't match the volume of work I do in my role, which involves coming to County Hall every day, meeting Ministers and Assembly officials or attending evening meetings and functions.'
But Cllr Armstrong-Braun has stoutly defended his claims - averaging more than £150 a month - stating he is at his desk at County Hall five days a week, sometimes until 7pm.
The councillor for the Stonebridge ward in Saltney said: 'I approach my role as a councillor as a full-time job, and not as some members do, just turning up for a meeting now and again.
'I think most regard it as a hobby, but I'm determined to do a proper job.
'While I have a special responsibility for the people of the Stonebridge ward who elected me, I also have a legal duty to represent all the people of Flintshire.
'In fact I get calls for help from people all over the county, so it's obvious to me some councillors are just not performing.'
Cllr Armstrong-Braun, who is also the subject of an inquiry into his County Hall telephone bill, has no plans to wind down what he says is a hectic schedule.
'It must be remembered that I also claim mileage when I perform official council duties like inspecting homes for the elderly and places that provide care for the handicapped,' he said.
'This is obviously a key role I take extremely seriously.'
Cllr Aldridge said the authority's internal audit and finance department vigorously tested all councillors' expense claims, but admitted he was taken aback by the amount paid to the Green councillor.
'Executive members do a tremendous amount of work and sometimes have to travel to Cardiff on official business, where they stay in a hotel sometimes,' he said.
'Cllr Armstong-Braun has no official role of that nature, so I'm somewhat amazed his expenses have reached that level.
'It would be up to our scrutiny committees or audit committee to look at the payments if they consider them excessive.
'What I object to is that the councillor concerned justifies his expenses by claiming to do so much more work than other members. I totally refute that claim.'
Other councillors who claimed travelling and subsistence allowances between January and September, include: Cllr Kevin Jones, executive member for housing, £1,236; Cllr David Wilkes, executive member, social services, £904; Cllr Meirion Matthews, executive member, highways and planning, £580; Cllr Alex Aldridge, council leader, £560; Cllr Jim Jones £550; Cllr Cliff Shone £468; Cllr Elvet Matthews £463; Cllr Tom Jones £461; Cllr Chris Bithell, executive member, education, £438; Cllr Derek Darlington, executive member, finance £425; Cllr Eddie Hall, deputy council leader, £423; Cllr Peter McFarlane £421; Cllr David Barratt £354; Cllr Gareth Williams, executive member, performance and improvement, £320; Cllr Derek Butler, executive member, economic development and tourism, £308; and Cllr Nigel Steele-Mortimer £298; Cllr David Parry £290; Cllr Ken Richardson £283; Cllr John Beard, executive member, policy strategy and human resources, £262; Cllr Arthur Davies £243; Cllr Ron Evans £221; Cllr Ron Hampson £200; Cllr Anne Slowik £199; Cllr Pam Walkden £178; Cllr Ron Davies £128; Cllr Hilary McGuill £122; Cllr Ken Iball £106; Cllr John Griffiths £100; Cllr J O Jones £87; Cllr David Evans £68; Cllr John Ovens £51; Cllr Ivor Roberts £48; Cllr Everett Williams £39; and Cllr David Edwards £11.
No other councillors submitted a claim.

BUT the point that is being missed is that fixed aperture lenses have to have more front glass and the more glass you have the more light transmission you get to your film plane. Also fixed aperture lenses will have fewer elements for the light to pass through. These compact "super zoom" lenses can only get away with their mechanics by utilizing a floating f-stop system and by having more elements. The more elements you have the more glass that light has to pass through and as light passes through glass there is an inherent loss of quality (much like zeroxing a copy of a copy)
As a photographer you can get around shutter speed issues in most cases but you cant get around the added clarity, sharpness, depth and just brilliance that a fixed aperture lens provides. Hence why I shoot prime lenses whenever I can get away with it.
The big point that should be made is people in general should put their money more into their lenses than their bodies. I have always said to buy the best lenses that your budget will allow you even if it means you buy a "lesser model of a body" In film days this was particularly true and with the huge leaps of the digital age most all modern consumer and prosumer bodies will yield excellent results. Its always the lens that is the weak link...

A 52-year-old East Toledo man was in the Lucas County Jail last night on a charge of robbing the Charter One Bank branch at 4260 Monroe St. of an undisclosed amount of cash.
Lesemes Rivera, who listed 730 Woodford St. as his address, was arrested late Friday.
Arraignment is scheduled for tomorrow in Toledo Municipal Court.
He was arrested by Toledo police near Alexis Road and Lewis Avenue.
Mr. Rivera is accused of walking into the West Toledo bank about 12:50 p.m. Thursday and demanding money. After the teller complied, the robber fled with the money, the FBI said.
Authorities refused to say whether the robbery involved a weapon.

June 30, 1970
United States of America, Plaintiff,
Simmonds Precision Products, Inc., Defendant
MacMahon, D.J.
The opinion of the court was delivered by: MACMAHON
Local 452, International Union of Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers, AFL-CIO, moves to intervene under Rule 24(a)(2), Fed. R. Civ. P., for the purpose of opposing the entry of a final judgment on consent submitted by the government and Simmonds Precision Products, Inc. The proposed judgment would terminate an action commenced by the government alleging that defendant's acquisition in 1965 of the Liquidometer Corporation would substantially lessen competition and, therefore, violate Section 7 of the Clayton Act. Both Simmonds and Liquidometer are engaged in the manufacture and sale of fuel gauging systems for use in aircraft.
A preliminary injunction entered by consent of both parties on January 15, 1968 enjoined defendant from commingling the assets of Liquidometer's Long Island City (LIC) division with defendant's other assets and directed defendant to continue to operate LIC in a manner that "will permit its disposition as a going business, including its own personnel, pursuant to a final order in the event plaintiff prevails . . . and an order requiring . . . divestiture is entered."
The proposed final judgment requires divestiture either by immediate sale of LIC as an entity or, if that is not possible, by "piecemeal" sale over a four-year period. The final judgment also vacates the preliminary injunction and, therefore, would allow Simmonds to close LIC or to remove some of its work to Simmonds' plant in Vergennes, Vermont.
The Union represents employees at LIC and seeks intervention to protect job security.
The Union's interest in this action is, in one respect, the same as the original objective of the government as stated in the complaint and preliminary injunction, namely, to preserve Liquidometer's position as an independent competitor in the manufacture and sale of fuel gauging systems. The Union objects to this final judgment because it would, as an alternative method of divestiture, allow Simmonds to remove Liquidometer as a competitor by piecemeal sale of its assets.
Under the 1966 amendment to Rule 24(a) allowing intervention as of right when a party claims an interest in the transaction which is the subject matter of the action and the United States Supreme Court's liberal interpretation of that language in Cascade Natural Gas Corp. v. El Paso Natural Gas Co., 386 U.S. 129, 17 L. Ed. 2d 814, 87 S. Ct. 932 (1967), the Union's interest in the subject matter of this action is sufficient to allow it to intervene.
Oral argument on this motion was heard on June 22, 1970 and immediately thereafter, because of Simmonds' precarious financial situation, an evidentiary hearing was held on the merits of the Union's opposition to the proposed final judgment.
After the Union concluded its examination of the witnesses called on June 22, 1970, we recessed until June 24, 1970 in order to grant the Union additional time to subpoena any other witnesses it deemed necessary for a full presentation of its claim. The Union and the other two parties stipulated, however, as to the testimony of the additional witnesses and, therefore, obviated the necessity for continuing the hearing on June 24.
We turn to consider the merits of the Union's opposition to the proposed final judgment.
The Union's ultimate goal quite obviously is to keep LIC functioning as a unit. It wants to prevent either a piecemeal sale or removal of the work done at LIC to Simmonds' other plant at Vergennes, Vermont. The Union argues that, in essence, this was the government's original goal and that the proposed judgment is objectionable because it does not assure Liquidometer's presence in the market as a competitor.
This would, indeed, be a rather persuasive argument if it were not for substantial changes in the economic condition of Simmonds, LIC and the entire relevant market.
When Simmonds acquired Liquidometer, these two corporations and Honeywell were the only three competitors in the market. Simmonds and Liquidometer were the two largest. Since then, two new competitors, Gull Airborne Instruments, Inc. and Consolidated Airborne Systems, Inc., have entered the market, a ...

A one day masterclass – places limited!
Date: 24th February 2016
It is essential that all charities are fully mindful of Data Protection, that they comply with the law and that they are transparent and accountable for how data is processed.
Not only is there the potential for the imposition of large fines or penalties, but the potential for reputational damage to charities is huge. To ensure compliance all staff, particularly those who are appointed as data controllers, must understand their roles and responsibilities, in order to avoid any potential liabilities.
It is crucial for charities to be able to demonstrate that they are aware of their responsibilities to keep the data they hold secure, and that they are taking the necessary key steps to protect personal data from misuse. Even the smallest organisations are likely to hold personal data on people such as staff or trustees. These organisations, which often rely on their existing reputation, can stand to lose just as much from a breach as those who spend millions on IT. Ignorance is not bliss, and it is vital that all organisations review their policies and procedures around data protection and ensure that they remain 'fit for purpose'.
This CPD certified MasterClass is the latest in our popular data protection series. This intensive one-day course will offer expert insight and information, will answer any specific questions you might have relating to how Data Protection Law applies to your organisation, and will ensure that you will leave this MasterClass with specific, relevant information that you can put to use immediately, and help ensure that you remain compliant.
- Key roles & responsibilities of data controllers in charities
- How data protection law applies to charities
- What can and cannot be done with staff information and donor/client information?
- How to review and keep data secure
- Legal requirements in obtaining, entering and up-keeping information in databases
- Key Data Protection Principles regarding Donations – online / over the phone / via post / special appeal bank accounts / direct debit
- Direct marketing – underlying principles
- Compliance obligations and challenges with outsourcing data processing operations / third party data processors
- Correctly dealing with access requests from donors, clients, service users and employees
- Including Privacy Policies and Statements on websites – what are the key points to be included?
- Data breaches – Key Risks
On completion you will receive your CMG MasterClass Certificate as well as your CPD Certificate containing 5 Structured CPD Points.

Current Students
Some of our current students are profiled below. The range of backgrounds and perspectives they bring to the program offers a sense of the diverse interests and goals that can be served with a Master's in Global and International Studies.
David Garrett heard about KU's Global and International Studies Program from his son, Ben Garrett, who is also enrolled in the program. David retired from the US Army after 20 years' service; he spent 9 of those years in West Germany during the Cold War, where he met his wife Ilona. After his retirement, he attended Northwest Missouri State in Maryville, Missouri and graduated with a double major in geology & geography. David is currently employed as an environmental scientist with the US Environmental Protection Agency. As a non-traditional student, he finds the program's flexibility exciting as his academic interests are varied, having been shaped by his 9 years in Europe. He plans to focus his studies on Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union, possibly emphasizing the former Soviet Republics that now make up Central Asia. David hopes to eventually apply his environmental experience to assist the nations of Central Asia in reducing the massive environmental hazards there.
Zakaria Mohti joined the GIST program in spring 2008 because of his persistent interest in International affairs in the areas of politics, economics, and human rights. The program's flexibility and the facility to individually tailor his course selection helps him balance his current work demands with his future aims. Zak works full time as an internal consultant in a financial institution where he focuses on process improvement. He is also a certified Six Sigma Black Belt and ISO 9001:2000 coordinator and lead auditor. He comes to the program with an MBA from the University of Oregon and a BBA from the American University of Beirut and is a member of Beta Gamma Sigma, the national honor society in Business and Management. Previously, he worked as an accountant for Dery Shipping Lines in Beirut. Zak has lived in Africa, the Middle East and Europe and has called Kansas City home for over eight years. He enjoys traveling, world music, discussing world affairs, and appreciates a good home-cooked meal.

New bridge to stop 'dangerous' river crossings
A mayor in north-west Queensland's Gulf region says a newly built bridge will prevent drivers from illegally crossing a river.
The Etheridge Shire Council has finished construction on the bridge at the Copperfield River at Einasleigh.
The bridge will replace a low-lying crossing that is regularly cut off by floodwaters during the wet season.
Mayor Warren Devlin says this left some drivers with no choice but to use a nearby railway bridge.
"That's a very narrow, timber railway line bridge," he said.
"It's extremely dangerous and extremely illegal.
"It was only a matter of time before someone got washed off the railway bridge, so it was imperative that we actually build a bridge across the Copperfield River."

Sohu health Wen Li Yuanyuan nutritionist Soybean Milk and Deep-Fried Dough Sticks is a classic Chinese breakfast collocation. But why would the two Deep-Fried Dough Sticks bomb? It is an interesting problem. A historical perspective: the two together is the symbol of justice in early 1142 in the Song Dynasty, the traitor Qin Hui's anti gold Yue Fei killed. For a time the news spread throughout the high streets and back lanes, people feel anger. The capital of Ling'an (now Hangzhou) there is a Clay oven rolls shop man to express anger, Qin Hui and his wife Wang, then look to the dough and kneading, the two pieces of bread thrown into the hot oil back adhesive, pan fried, deep fried side shouting "look" deep fried cypress!". Then fried will spread in Ling'an, people have to follow suit. Later simplified into two sticky bread on the oil pan fried, become Deep-Fried Dough Sticks. Process view: two with good effect in expanding the ordinary flour with salt and the amount of bentonite leavening agent, repeated kneading to become smooth and soft are gluten dough, then rest for 20~30 minutes; and then folded kneading, fermenting; so repeated two or three times. Then pull the dough into strips, placed in a greased board. Cut into strips of suitable size, each of two strips. Pinch two, pull into about 30 cm long, into the hot pan fried to golden brown can be completely Deep-Fried Dough Sticks expansion. The Deep-Fried Dough Sticks hollow expansion, the key lies in adding bentonite material leavening agent. The classic formula is alum leavening agent (twelve hydrated aluminum potassium sulfate) and baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) two kinds of substances. Alum can react with sodium bicarbonate to produce carbon dioxide gas is heated, so that the rapid expansion of Deep-Fried Dough Sticks size. Cantonese Deep-Fried Dough Sticks usually use ammonium bicarbonate as a leavening agent, but also through the thermal decomposition of ammonium hydrogen carbonate to produce gas expansion. A chemical reaction occurs with sodium bicarbonate alum is not instant, but will take some time, so the requirements of the Deep-Fried Dough Sticks temperature is not too high, otherwise the surface soon crisp stereotypes, hinder the dough expansion, can not achieve the effect of hollow. The two surface overlap is not in direct contact with the oil, the temperature is relatively low, the reaction is slow, there is enough time to produce gas, the Deep-Fried Dough Sticks hollow expansion effect of good. Then a single Deep-Fried Dough Sticks, can be expanded? In many places Deep-Fried Dough Sticks is single, only the same temperature conditions into the hot pan, single Deep-Fried Dough Sticks temperature increases rapidly, the expansion degree is far better than the double root. One can also blow out very swollen, but need to control the temperature to prevent the surface hardened rapidly setting. For example, wok cool oil into the Deep-Fried Dough Sticks, alum and sodium bicarbonate sufficient gas generated, blow out the Deep-Fried Dough Sticks swelling effect is also very good. But the current production status of the Deep-Fried Dough Sticks, low temperature is obviously not the mainstream, but also low efficiency. Deep-Fried Dough Sticks is good, although not recommended eat Deep-Fried Dough Sticks emotionally is breakfast regulars, but from the nutrition is not suggested to eat. The reasons are as follows: first, high energy. Deep-Fried Dough Sticks is flour fried flour, starch in oil absorption ability is very strong, almost the same fat content of the flour weight Deep-Fried Dough Sticks 1.

Many women enjoy travelling on their own to expand their horizonsand boost their self-confidence, in fact 60% of travellers who travel on their own are women! Of course you may be 'on your own', but you will not be ALONE because you will have other travellers with you and guides and crew to assist you. Of course there are still certain precautions you need to take, the most important being common sense!
- Be sensible with the way you dress, so as not to draw too much attention to yourself. Obviously when on the beaches, you will wear swimming costumes, so make sure you feel comfortable in them. Ignore drunken/bored men who will no doubt try to attract your attention, and learn that wonderful empowering word called 'No!'.
- As with any traveller, avoid areas that are known for crime at night. Your crew will advise you of these areas, and never go alone.
- You can if you wish say that you are married, which should help to subdue a few persistent characters.
- Make sure you know where you are going, don't just wander around aimlessly.
- Always use recognised taxi services, preferably that have been booked in advance.
- Always lock your door in the accommodation you are staying in, or if you don't mind, share a tent with a fellow female traveller.
- Don't forget to take your own feminine hygiene products with you. You might not be able to find the product you are used to in some of the countries.
- Make sure you have sufficient supplies if you are on the contraceptive pill.
- Very good vitamins for women to take with are Cranberry Complex and a 9 Strain Probiotic.
So relax, make friends, don't drink too much alcohol and spend time nurturing your inner self. If you would like more information about women travelling in Africa, you can Google a few travel blogs written by women.

The Seminar
I teach a group on Tuesday evening from 18:00 – 20:00 that varies in size and composition. There is a handful of regulars who are always present. There are some who are usually present. There are many signed up for the class that I haven't seen and wonder why they signed up. The roster has 38 names on it. I keep asking if these names are for real. Do these students not care about the consequences of not attending? I may be witnessing another version of a syndrome that we saw in a funded project in South Dakota a few years back. In that project, teachers had their tuition and costs paid for a masters degree in technology by the grant. This was an initiative of the governor as I recall who wanted to inspire more technology use in SD schools. Because they were paid no matter what the level of performance, some students didn't put much effort into the courses. These students in my seminar have their way paid. There is no cost to them. So, if they miss a bunch of classes, it doesn't matter. This actually is good for me as I couldn't possibly deal with 38 active PhD students who have a very weak understanding of research methods and lack a grounding in their subject area fields. And, it is hard to put these people in touch with the resources they need to begin to work on a dissertation. The can only log into their library's three data bases (JSTOR, Oxford Reference, and Cambridge Journals) from on campus. Other current library resources are almost non-existent. I post a few pictures above. Think of these as entitled the research library at ISU.
The students who are active are a wonderful group who would fit right in at UNL and would love the resource rich environment at a US university.
Ana—a woman who works at an Institute of Psychology and is a Deputy Director of Psychological Counseling and Training Centre at THE PATRIARCHATE OF ALL GEORGIA. She want to do her dissertation on ways to prevent drug abuse in Geogrian youth.
Eka is an Assistant Professor of languages at ISU. She wants to do her study examining how active learning improves the learning of a foreign language and I think is proposing an intervention study with an experimental and control group.
Nino, who discovered for the class how to log into JSTOR, wants to examine intercultural competence in Georgian high school students. By this term I think she means what we would might call tolerance.
Maka wants to study test anxiety in high school kids now that Georgia has a high stakes test in place. She is in psychology.
Maya wants to study teacher job satisfaction. This is a good topic in Georgia where salaries are quite low and usually require that teachers try to supplement their income through tutoring or other work.
Nino works in special education and is working with several others to develop an assessment instrument that will identify children with special needs. Georgia has no such instrument at the moment and must rely on those from abroad which tend not to work very well in this culture. Although I don't know if anyone has actually examined how such instruments work.
Nino S works training teachers and wants to know if levels of job satisfaction change as a consequence of the training. That is, if teachers have the skills to make their teaching easier, are they happier with what they are doing.
Tamta wants to examine the impact of portfolio assessment on student learning.
Tina is a linguist and wants to examine Georgian stative dimensional verbs in Georgian and develop methods for teaching these verbs to non Georgian speakers.
Kate is a university teacher of physical education. She has a new baby of 6-7 months and is a regular. She and I have worked on editing her research article exploring what pre-service teachers think are the most important competencies for the new teacher to possess. This she is sending off to a journal published in the Baltic states and I have to recall the name of it.
Kete Tskhomelidze is a lawyer who speaks excellent English as most of these students do. She proposes to study the different models of electing government leaders, looking at the outcomes for democracy that follow the different models.
I have one student who wants to study one aspect of the Georgian school reforms, the Boards of Trustees that were created two years ago. This is what I am working on as well. But, I have only met this student once at the very first class.

Bioidentical Hormones in Florida
What Are Hormones?
Both men and produce hormones. Hormones are critical to your overall health and longevity because they influence and regulate nearly every cell, organ, and function in your body, including:
- Sexual performance
- Reproduction
- Growth
- Development
- Cellular repair
- Cognitive function
- Mood and mental state
- Metabolic rate, including weight gain or less
Hormones are produced throughout many different organs in your body and make up your endocrine system. This helps regulate the creation and release of hormones, including testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, thyroid hormone, and others. When this system isn't working optimally, a hormone imbalance occurs.
What Is Hormone Imbalance?
In a healthy person, the body will begin producing sex hormones like estrogen, testosterone, and progesterone during puberty and continue to produce optimal levels of these hormones throughout early adulthood. A hormone imbalance occurs when the body is producing less-than-optimal levels of a hormone. This is much more common among older people due to the loss of hormones as we age. As a result, people over the age of 40—although sometimes younger—will start to notice strange symptoms that are happening throughout their body and without any particular explanation. In many cases, these symptoms are caused by an imbalance in hormone levels. These symptoms are often diverse and subtle, including:
- Trouble losing weight
- Lack of energy
- Depression or low mood
- Fatigue
- Sleep trouble
- Sexual troubles for both men and women
- Lack of motivation
- Anxiety and irritability
- Loss of memory
- Lack of concentration
This used to be considered a part of normal aging. Now we understand these symptoms experienced by so many men and women across Florida are often caused by the age-related drop of critical hormone levels, including testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, and others. The decline in hormone levels is different for every person, but it does eventually affect everyone.
What Are Bioidentical Hormones?
If you're going through a hormone imbalance, there are many ways to relieve your symptoms and feel better. It's helpful to get exercise and eat healthy, but many people benefit from hormone replacement therapy. Genemedics is one of Florida's leaders in hormone replacement therapy. We specialize in the use of bioidentical hormones to naturally replace and restore your hormones to peak levels, making you healthier and happier. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) is an alternative medicine where bioidentical hormones are natural analogs of your internally produced hormones. Doctors have been using synthetic hormones in medical practice, but the use of bioidentical hormones has changed hormone replacement therapy in fundamental ways. Unlike the synthetic hormones used in the past, bioidentical hormones are considered natural because they are exact copies of the molecules your body naturally produces.
What Are Synthetic Hormones?
Before bioidentical hormones, physicians used synthetic hormones in hormone replacement therapy, which didn't always have the best results. Unlike their biomedical counterparts, synthetic hormones are derived from animal sources and are not exact matches of the hormones a human produces. Instead, they are close matches—which means they are biologically active but can cause huge problems with your body. Synthetic hormones are used to reduce menopausal symptoms as well as the risk of heart attack and stroke in older women. Typical synthetic estrogen therapy included strong estrogens from the urine of pregnant horses. However, in 2004, the Women's Health Initiative released one of the largest studies ever conducted on synthetic hormone replacement therapy. According to the WHI, this type of synthetic hormone replacement therapy actually increased the risk of stroke and breast cancer instead of protecting them from these life-threatening risks. After the study was released, millions of women immediately stopped taking synthetic hormones and the number of prescriptions plummeted. Since then, we've learned a tremendous amount about natural hormone replacement and can once offer safe and effective hormone replacement therapy without risk. That's where Genemedics and bioidentical hormones come in.
How Are Bioidentical Hormones Made?
Bioidentical hormones are made by extracting the base molecules from raw ingredients, like soybeans or wild yams, and then used to create the human hormone analog. Bioidentical hormones come in a wide variety of options, like pills, patches, gels, creams, pellets, and by injection.
Bioidentical versus Synthetic Hormones
Although both types of hormones are biologically active, bioidentical hormones have powerful benefits over their synthetic counterparts. They are safer, more effective, and interact with your body in a more natural way. Synthetic hormones include foreign compounds that your body won't recognize while bioidentical hormones match your body's natural molecules. Internally, synthetic hormones don't act like bioidentical hormones. They bind to molecules differently than bioidentical hormones and sometimes don't break down properly. This results in an increased risk of blood clots, heart disease, cancer, and stroke. These side effects wouldn't happen with a properly administered bioidentical hormone replacement program because the natural molecules interact with your body the same as your naturally produced hormones. They bind to cell receptors exactly the same way and are always broken down completely. The means far less side effects and fewer symptoms from a hormone imbalance.
Benefits of Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy in Florida
The benefits BHRT are almost infinite. Some patients report immediate improvements in their quality of life without any harsh side effects that they would normally get from synthetic hormones. Unlike the synthetic versions, bioidentical hormones are exact matches of the hormones your body naturally produces, so they are connect easily with your body. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy has loads of benefits, including:
- Enhanced sex drive and performance
- Higher energy levels
- Easier fat loss
- More muscle tone and mass
- Improved memory
- Better sleep
- Fuller, healthier head of hair
- Decreased joint pain
- Better exercise endurance
- Improved bone health
- Lower risk of heart disease
What Is Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy?
BHRT is more than just prescribing hormones to alleviate symptoms. A properly designed BHRT program like the one Genemedics offers will begin with a thorough evaluation of your hormone status. This usually includes a test of blood and saliva as well as an assessment of your symptoms performed by a qualified physician. Once your results are in, a personalized BHRT program is specifically tailored to your needs using multiple hormones. The ultimate goal is to restore your overall hormone profile to the levels when you were at your physiological peak, usually in your 20s or 30s. There is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all BHRT program. For ultimate effectiveness, your BHRT program has to fit your unique biology, stage of life, and hormone status.
Are There Side Effects to Hormone Replacement Therapy?
The risk of side effects using BHRT is far lower than their synthetic hormones counterpart. However, because BHRT must be personalized and carefully managed, there is always the risk that a poorly designed program will result in side effects. Genemedics doctors are among the nation's leading experts in BHRT. All of our physicians have been through thousands of hours of training and have years of experience. They have worked with thousands of patients to design customized BHRT programs for each of them that don't have side effects because they were made for their genetic makeup. All you need to do it set up an initial consultation to get your comprehensive evaluation today!

For many parents, having a daughter can be very life-enhancing and fulfilling. However, parenting isn't always easy since there are no how-to guides that can give step-by-step instructions for every possible problem that might be experienced. Fortunately, most parents do just fine and their daughters (and sons) grow up to be happy and responsible adults. If you have a daughter whom you love very much but is always sulking, then you aren't alone. Perhaps your daughter is frequently unhappy and seems to sulk on a regular basis. If so, then here is a guide that can provide you with some useful information as well as tips to reverse this type of behavior:
Definition of sulking
First of all, you may need to know what sulking means. Sulking means to behave in an ill-tempered and pouting manner. A person who sulks may be withdrawn and refuse to talk to others. If the person is forced to talk to others, then he or she may appear to be aloof, depressed and disinterested. If this describes the manner in which your daughter has been behaving in lately, then you have chosen an accurate term to describe it.
What causes girls to sulk frequently?
You might be wondering why your daughter sulks on a regular basis. Not only can sulking be annoying, but it can have a negative effect on your relationship with her. Many children, both boys and girls, sulk or pout because they have not yet learned to adequately express their emotions. Sulking occurs in both younger and older children, usually in response to not getting their way or being reprimanded for wrongdoing.
Puberty and monthly menstrual cycles could cause a teenage girl to sulk more frequently. Hormonal changes can cause her mood to become sullen or even angry. You will know that her menstrual cycle is responsible for increased sulking if you notice that it happens more often during certain times of the month on a regular basis.
How to manage a sulking daughter
How do you manage your daughter's sulking behavior when it seems to be occurring more and more frequently and you feel as if you could pound your fists on the table? Despite the fact that it can be very frustrating, you don't want to give in to frustration and start yelling at your daughter when she sulks. This will not help the problem, and in fact, it will only make you both feel worse. While managing your daughter's sulking will take time, patience and effort, there are effective solutions for sulking. Here are some more effective management techniques that you can use instead of letting it get under your skin:
- Communication – Communication is the key to making any relationship work, whether the relationship is a marriage, parent and child, or even employer and employee. If you aren't able to sit down and really talk to your child on a regular basis, then you will never make any progress. Of course the age of your child is important, too. If your child is old enough to be reasonable, then you can sit down with her and discuss her sulking. Be sure to explain what sulking is and assure her that you're not angry with her. Also, make it a priority to explain how behaving in a pouty and sulking manner only makes the both of you feel worse. You should also explain that you don't want her to feel bad, which is why you want to help her to stop sulking. If she is receptive, then that is good and you can make progress quickly. If she isn't receptive and refuses to respond or even listen, then keep trying. Eventually she will listen.
- Teach/educate – While children learn at school from their teachers—and other children—they learn first and foremost at home from their parents. Even when you aren't aware, you daughter and any other children are learning from you and picking up habits—both good and bad—from you. This is why it is important that you manage your own emotions appropriately. If things don't go your way, then you shouldn't go on a tirade, especially if your daughter is around. You should handle the disappointment positively, even though you won't feel so positive at the moment. If you don't control your emotions when things don't go your way, you're only reinforcing your daughter's sulking behavior. She will learn from you that it's ok to pout and sulk in response to not getting what she wants. However, if you handle all disappointments positively, then your daughter will be less likely to sulk as often.
- Quality time – It is important that you spend as much quality time with your daughter as possible. Even if you have other children, you need to take the time to spend one-on-one time with each one. Children who feel loved and supported by their parents are often able to mature at a more rapid rate, enabling them to manage their emotions appropriately at younger ages. You should also show affection towards your daughter and tell her that you love her often. Some children need more reassurance and attention than others.
If your daughter is a toddler, then you may have to use other techniques to minimize her sulking. You could still sit down and communicate with her, but it, of course, has to be on a level that she can relate to and understand. Play games and participate in activities that can help her to express herself. Not only can these games be fun and enable the two of you to strengthen your bond, but it can help to minimize her sulking episodes, which is your main goal.
Sulking & other behavior problems
If your daughter not only sulks on a regular basis, but she also exhibits some other behavioral issues, then you need to monitor her closely. She could be suffering from an underlying condition that is causing this negative behavior. Here are just some conditions that your daughter could be suffering from:
- ADHD – More and more children are being diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Luckily, there are effective treatments, including medications, behavior modification and therapy.
- Mental illness – There are numerous mental illnesses that could cause your daughter to exhibit sulking and other behavior problems on a regular basis. Depression, anxiety and borderline personality disorder are just some of the possible causes. If you suspect that your daughter could be suffering from a mental illness, then you need to make an appointment to have her evaluated by a licensed psychologist. Your daughter's pediatrician may need to provide you with a referral.
- Bullying victim – Growing up can be difficult, and some children experience more challenges than others. Your daughter could be bullied at school, which could explain her negative behavior and low moods. During your talks with your daughter, make sure you inquire about how school is going. Ask about her friends and how her day was every single day. If you suspect that she is being bullied from your conversations, then you need to take action. Contact the school and set up a time to meet with the counselor, teachers and even the principal. Bullying can have serious consequences, so you shouldn't take it lightly.
As you can see, sulking is normal among children of all ages. However, if your daughter seems to sulk on a regular basis, then you might want to start monitoring her more closely. If you suspect that she might be suffering from an underlying condition, then you need to have her evaluated as soon as possible. Once she has been diagnosed, then she can receive treatment, which should minimize her sulking and any other behavioral problems. This will not only help your daughter, but it will help all other the other members of the household as well.

CEO David Schottenstein participated in FOX & Friend's round table discussion with other young entrepreneurs on America's Unemployment Crisis. Schottenstein and the other guests attended Our Time's Buy Young event at the Chamber of Commerce in Washington, DC.
Owning the Future
Despite the summer heat and the usual partisan gridlock, there was a little more energy in Washington, D.C., today.
That's because more than 100 young entrepreneurs gathered in the nation's capital for meetings at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Capitol Hill, and the White House. The purpose was to launch Our Time's Buy Young initiative, a campaign to encourage Americans to support companies and organizations founded by people who are under 30. As a side benefit, policymakers got to hear what these young risk takers are thinking.
That's important because "it is young entrepreneurs who will lead the way to economic recovery," said David Schottenstein, who founded Astor & Black Custom Clothiers in Columbus, Ohio, in 2005 when he was 21.
In some ways, Schottenstein is like entrepreneurs from older generations. He finds high taxes to be "demotivating," and he complains about excessive regulation. In other ways, however, he's very much a twentysomething. He may or may not trust people over 30, but he doesn't want to hire them—they're "a little more tired," he said. (Schottenstein may want to add the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission to his Washington itinerary.)
Schottenstein and other under-30 entrepreneurs have refused to let a lousy job market hold them back. Instead, they've created their own businesses.

Currently in our journey to bring Milana home we are in the waiting place. If you have ever read the book Oh the Places You'll Go by Dr. Suess you know all about the waiting place. If you know me at all you know I have no interest in staying in the waiting place for any length of time. But that is where we are now. And I have a feeling this is a place we will be periodically throughout this process. Regardless, it isn't an enjoyable place to be. Especially when your goal is to bring your baby home to you.
Some of the things we are waiting for aren't too bad. We are waiting for some forms to be mailed to us and some forms to be completed at the doctor so I can pick them up. One of the things we are waiting on right now is our passports. Mine should be arriving any day now. Chris went and applied for his passport yesterday so hopefully that will come in the next 2 weeks. Without our passport numbers we can't complete any of the forms we have left in our dossier. So here we are waiting.
While we wait we are constantly wondering. Throughout the day I can't tell you how many times I look at the clock and wonder what Milana is doing right now. I woke up this morning and it was lunch time over there. I couldn't help but wonder what was she having for lunch. Did she have enough to eat. What did she eat.
Now I am wondering if perhaps it might be nap time over there. If it is will there be anyone to read her a story before she goes down for her nap. I wonder what it will be like the first time I get to read her a story. I wonder how she is feeling right now? I wonder what it will be like to meet her for the first time. I wonder if she will know when we get there that we are her Mommy and Daddy. I wonder what it will be like to finally get to hug her and tell her how much we love her. I also wonder if she knows her Mommy and Daddy are working really hard to come and get her and bring her home.

After waiting for one month, SGKK-Doki finally subbed episode 14 (or the epilogue episode) of Senkou no Night Raid. I mentioned about itlast year about and clearly, I was a bit right.
So, he suited up!
Kazura is doing spy work for the Kempeitai. They want him to investigate on a supposed rebellion made by some young Imperial officers and these Imperial officers happened to be Kazura's classmates in military school.Kazura was forced to comply. So, as usual, he did his James Bond work.
Meanwhile, Yukina went to Natsume's family to gave back his belongings. His sister requested her to give a lucky coin charm (which Natsume treasured) to his younger brother who is also a soldier.
Then, Kazura investigates the military headquarters until he coincidentally meets Yukina. The two shared a small conversation. Yukina wants to stay connected to Kazura. But Kazura doesn't want to. Later, Kazura meets his former classmate and later, they had dinner in his house. His classmate told him his views about the military and government and how corrupted they were. This resulted to him in joining the rebellion for "the greater good". Wait, isn't that phrase mentioned in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows?
Now Kazura needs a mask and blades—oh, wait, that's Darker than Black.
Carry on my wayward son
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more~
With the help from Yukina, Aoi helps Kazura escape. Aoi tells him that he survived the plane crash but he's paralyzed for months which is why he cannot meet him. Eventually, Kazura told Aoi and Yukina that he will join the rebellion. Aoi reminded him that he's going to the same direction as Isao. Later, Yukina gives Kazura the lucky coin charm and requested him to give it to Natsume's brother if they ever cross paths. She also said a short phrase, "Value your honor" and that this charm can prevail death. So, after Kazura parted ways with his former colleagues, Aoi goes with Shizune. And I was right, he did try to do what Adam Sandler did in 50 First Dates.
Aoi comments about Kazura's new look.
The rebellion known as the February 26 Incident has started. Yukina narrates that since the rebellion failed, it is unknown whether Kazura was arrested or executed or killed since she doesn't know his real name. I would imagine that if Kazura was executed or killed, it will just like that Tom Cruise movie, Valkyrie. Or if he was imprisoned and after the war, was released, he would be watching over history. But I think he survived and escaped due to his abilities and he would go into hiding.

Sure I get the message from the staff regarding the dangerous use of nuclear weapons. But I think they made a clear message that whatever kind of government that each country had (like the Philippines, Egypt and even North Korea), there's still corruption. It's still a big issue throughout the world. Srsly, I would imagine what if Japan had the same experience that Egypt and other Middle Eastern countries are experiencing right now. You know, protesting the streets, throwing stones and Molotov cocktails etc. That might be possible but, nah. I checked that Japan has a less perception on corruption (unlike ours obviously) but they still have issues on it. But, of course, the people of Japan were no longer radicals anymore except for some (yes, I'm looking at you, Ishihara, you son of a bitch).
Still the rest is history
BTW, there's also a picture drama (you know, those short stories that maybe or maybe related to the storyline, e.g.: Code Geass). I talked about it in the next post.

Disclaimer: I'm not a spokesperson for pdaXrom, nor am I a leader in the project. These are my opinions/views/impressions, and do not necessarily reflect the opinions/views/impressions of anybody else.
I don't know if a "hage...team" is what pdaXrom wants. I think part of the appeal is that there's a small group of devs that personally can help people and work together (or independently) more closely (I realize how little sense that makes).
I wouldn't be against using OpenEmbedded as the build system (I'm not a Linux n00b, and I find the pdaX build system a pain), but I would NOT like to have it merged with other projects. Angstrom/OZ has always felt less flexible and less like a real Linux system to me than pdaXrom does, and I fear that would be lost if the projects merged.

BAER, Justice.
This is a direct appeal from an order of the Bucks County Common Pleas Court, imposing two death sentences after Appellant Robert Diamond pled guilty to the first degree murders of Angel Guadalupe and Reginald Woodson. Appellant raises claims of trial court error relating only to the penalty phase of trial, including challenges to the finding of statutory aggravating circumstances and the failure to find mitigating circumstances, challenges to the weighing of aggravating and mitigating circumstances, and a claim that his sentence of death was based on arbitrary factors. As we conclude that Appellant's issues lack merit, we affirm his conviction and judgment of sentence.[1]
Page 122
Because Appellant pled guilty to the offenses at issue, the relevant facts were gleaned from the suppression hearing, the guilty plea proceeding, and the sentencing hearing. In 2002, Appellant began working as a forklift operator at the Simon & Schuster book warehouse in Bristol Borough, Bucks County. Appellant, who is Caucasian, had engaged in several arguments with fellow employee Kalif Crump, who is African American, and believed that management had unfairly sided with Crump. Appellant had also engaged in verbal confrontations with Crump's mother, Debra Vorters, who likewise worked at Simon & Schuster. Shop Steward Reginald Woodson, who was friendly with Crump and Vorters, would intervene in some of the altercations, and separate the parties.
In April of 2008, management terminated Appellant's employment after he failed to report to work for several days without explanation. Nearly four months later, on the afternoon of August 1, 2008, Appellant made an audio tape of what he referred to as his " last will and testament" as he drove to Simon & Schuster to seek revenge for the purported harassment he had suffered during his employment. In the recording, Appellant stated that he had no place in the world, that the last six years he spent at Simon & Schuster had been a " living hell," and that time was running out because he lacked money to pay his rent.
Appellant further stated that Crump was " the main perpetrator of all this shit but people gave him the intelligence and the will and the support to f_ _k with the good white man cause it'd be good for black power, that's Debra [Vorters] and Reggie [Woodson], and I don't think I can wait any longer than today." Commonwealth Exhibit 30. As he drove into the Simon & Schuster parking lot, Appellant stated " [t]hat little black boy's car is not there, so unless he's got a ride, I'll have to hope that there's higher justice for him." Id. Appellant ended his oral diatribe by facetiously thanking his mother and sisters for not helping him obtain his inheritance from his aunt. He stated, " if I had one little bit of that money, five, ten, I could get this little kick out of my system, you know, and provide for myself until I either die of natural causes or clean my act up." Id.
Appellant arrived at Simon & Schuster at nearly 3:30 p.m., the precise time that employees working his former shift would leave for the day. Appellant was well aware that when the shift ended, employees waited in a line at the door to " clock out" and exit the warehouse onto the loading dock platform, which was adjacent to the parking lot. Appellant parked his car in the lot next to the van of Sonia Santiago, who was seated in the vehicle with her three children, waiting to pick up her husband, Miguel Santiago, after his shift. At that time, employee Vanessa Gonzalez observed fellow employee Angel Guadalupe exit the building onto the loading dock, climb down the stairs to the parking lot, and walk towards Guadalupe's white sports utility vehicle (" SUV" ), a vehicle similar to that driven by Crump.[2]
While brandishing a Smith and Wesson .40 caliber handgun, Appellant walked in front of Sonia Santiago's van towards Angel Guadalupe's SUV, said " shh" to Santiago, and gestured for her to remain quiet. As Guadalupe backed his SUV out of the parking space, Appellant ran over and began firing shots into the vehicle. Guadalupe attempted to exit the SUV, but Appellant continued firing until at least six rounds had been discharged, and Guadalupe had fallen from the vehicle onto the
Page 123
road. It was eventually determined that two bullets resulted in fatal injuries.
Several individuals observed Appellant shoot Guadalupe, including: Gonzalez, who was standing on the loading dock; Santiago, who quickly drove her van away from the scene after she observed the shooting; the driver of a SEPTA bus carrying seven passengers, which was located fifteen to twenty yards away from Guadalupe's SUV; a resident in a retirement community located approximately twenty to twenty-five feet behind Guadalupe's vehicle who called 9-1-1 when the shots were fired; a security guard in a nearby guard shack; and individuals smoking cigarettes on the loading dock.
As captured by the Simon & Schuster surveillance camera, at 3:34 p.m., after killing Guadalupe, Appellant walked behind his SUV, released the gun's magazine catch, checked to see how many rounds were left, and inserted the magazine back into the gun. Appellant thereafter encountered others in the parking lot, but did not fire his weapon. Moments later, Woodson left the warehouse to investigate, walked toward Appellant, and asked him what he was doing. Woodson then abruptly turned away from Appellant, and ran up the stairs to the loading dock in an effort to get back inside the warehouse. When Woodson reached the top step, Appellant, who was then approximately twenty-nine yards away, fatally shot Woodson in the back. Gonzalez, along with other employees, was standing behind Woodson in the doorway of the loading dock when Woodson was shot, and Gonzalez observed Appellant fire his weapon. Maria Brown, a motorist driving by the warehouse at the time, also witnessed Appellant fire shots at Woodson.
Police officers arrived promptly and observed Guadalupe's body lying on the road. Upon seeing the officers, Appellant, who was still holding his weapon, raised the gun to his own head. The officers drew their weapons, and Appellant responded by stating, " I'm not shooting anymore." Notes of Testimony (" N.T." ), Mar. 6, 2009, at 33. When the officers instructed Appellant to lay down his weapon and get on the ground, he complied, acting in a calm manner.
At approximately 3:45 p.m., additional police officers responded to the scene. Appellant told the officers that he had intended to kill himself, but that the officers arrived too quickly. The officers read Appellant his Miranda [3] warnings and transported him from the scene. After again being advised of his Miranda rights, Appellant admitted to police that he shot Guadalupe. He indicated that he did not personally know Guadalupe, who was of Hispanic descent, " but chose to shoot him anyway" ... because Appellant " just lumped them all together." N.T., Apr. 14, 2009, at 30, 32-33; N.T., Mar. 6, 2009, at 78. Appellant explained to the officers that he continued to shoot Guadalupe until he stopped moving.
Appellant also admitted to shooting Woodson, who was African American. Appellant stated, " Reggie [Woodson] came towards me ... Reggie thought that he was going to talk me down, but saw that wasn't going to happen and began trucking and ducking away ... and then I shot him too." N.T., Apr. 14, 2009, at 31-32; N.T., Mar. 6, 2009, at 79. Appellant told the officers that prior to the shooting he pondered whether he should " let them get away with what they did," and decided to just " go there and do it." N.T., Apr. 14, 2009, at 29-30; N.T., Mar. 6, 2009, at 80. Appellant further expressed disappointment
Page 124
that he was not able to confront Crump, and hoped Crump would face a " higher justice." N.T., Apr. 14, 2009, at 134. Appellant remained calm and attentive during questioning, did not appear agitated, spoke in a normal tone of voice, showed appropriate emotion, made eye contact with the officers, and was articulate.
Autopsies performed on the victims established that Guadalupe's cause of death was gunshot wounds to the head and mouth, and that Woodson's cause of death was a gunshot wound to the back. Further, police officers seized several items, including the book Black Power the Politics of Liberation from the passenger side of Appellant's vehicle. Officers also seized a three-page hand-written document from Appellant's home that Appellant had drafted on the day of the murder, which purported to explain the behavior that he planned to execute later that day. The document stated in part, as follows:
I worked at Simon and Schuster and was endlessly harassed and browbeaten, oppressed in every conceivable fashion by one Kalif Crump, who enjoyed lavish and deceptively effective support from Reginald Woodson and Debra Vorters while management gleefully watched from their impregnable seat of rule. How messy would things get for people in power to take action. I AM NO RACIST. May this action save hundreds of innocent whites from tyranny and adversary. (Webster's) GOD HELP US.
N.T., Apr. 14, 2009, at 106-11; Commonwealth Exhibit 33 (emphasis in original).
On October 16, 2008, the Commonwealth charged Appellant with, inter alia, two counts of first degree murder. Appellant thereafter filed a pretrial motion to suppress his statements to police, which the trial court denied, following a hearing on March 6, 2009. On April 13, 2009, Appellant entered an open guilty plea to two counts of first degree murder, possession of an instrument of crime, recklessly endangering another person, and firearms not to be carried without a license.[4] As a factual basis for the plea, the Commonwealth presented the testimony of Detective Randy Morris, Detective David Michael Kemmerer, and Corporal Kurt Tempinski, an expert in ballistics and firearms. The officers relayed in detail what occurred at the crime scene, as described supra, and reiterated the statements Appellant gave to police immediately after the murders in which he confessed to shooting both victims. The Commonwealth further admitted into evidence, inter alia, the murder weapon and ammunition, the victims' autopsy reports, the audio recording and written note made by Appellant explaining his conduct on the day of the murders, and the Simon & Schuster surveillance video. Because the Commonwealth was seeking the death penalty, the matter proceeded to a penalty hearing. Appellant waived his right to a jury trial in the penalty phase, and a three-day bench trial was conducted before the trial court judge.
Following the penalty hearing, and relating to the murder of Angel Guadalupe (Count One), the court found one aggravating circumstance, that the defendant " has been convicted of another murder committed in any jurisdiction and committed either before or at the time of the offense at issue." 42 Pa.C.S. § 9711(d)(11) (" multiple murder aggravating circumstance" ). The court additionally found three mitigating circumstances: that the defendant " has no
Page 125
significant history of prior criminal convictions," id., § 9711(e)(1); that the defendant " was under the influence of extreme mental or emotional disturbance," id., § 9711(e)(2); and the mitigating circumstance relating to " [a]ny other evidence of mitigation concerning the character and record of the defendant and the circumstances of his offense." Id., § 9711(e)(8) (" catchall mitigating circumstance" ). As evidence of the catchall mitigating circumstance, the trial court cited Appellant's guilty plea to all charges and his waiver of the defenses of diminished capacity and insanity. N.T., Apr. 17, 2009, at 5. ...

I spent all day January 2nd, working on crossword puzzles that I had collected out of the newspaper and watching a marathon running of Downton Abby.
I usually do the 2 puzzles each day when the paper comes, but I had gotten behind by about a week, so I managed to catch up the 12 daily puzzles. My brain felt fried after that, but I had a weird satisfaction from doing the work.
I watched many of the episodes of Downton Abby. I had watched it each week when it aired the first time, so while I didn't see every episode over the New Year's holiday, I did know the story line and enjoyed the sessions I watched.
My amaryllis is in bloom, it is a little disappointing but pretty in its own way.

A small blurb about Fox Sports Net ratings was in Monday's Merc. If nothing else, it shows that the Giants' hegemony over the Bay Area market continues. But a closer look reveals that the Giants' top ten games came at the beginning and end of the 2005 season, when the Giants were either contending or had Barry Bonds back, or both. I wonder what the ratings were like when the Gigantes were horrifically bad last June?
Nevertheless, the A's best numbers show that they pull in about half the audience of the Giants. Even the pennant race with the Angels in August and September didn't garner a 3 rating. But a look at other two-team markets shows that this pattern is repeated elsewhere. The Yanks often triple the Mets in cable ratings. The Mets have responded by starting up their own cable network, Sportsnet New York, in hopes of boosting ratings and revenue the way the YES network has helped the Yanks. The Cubs have dominated the Chicago market, though the White Sox World Series win should make them more competitive. LA is the notable exception. Arte Moreno's renaming move and aggressive LA marketing have paid off. Combine that with the Halos' on-field success, and the Angels have pulled even with the Dodgers on cable (and at times even pulled ahead).
Since the A's are locked into a cable deal with Fox Sports Net through at least 2010, the only chance the A's have to expand their audience is through its over-the-air contract, currently with KICU. It would make sense for the A's to leave KICU, which has limited range beyond the South Bay, for a San Francisco-based station such as KRON-4 or the soon-to-be-orphaned KBWB-20. Sooner or later all those Frasier reruns on KRON are going to get old and stale, right? Even if it meant getting slightly lower TV revenue for a couple years, it might be worth it because of the much larger potential audience.
