Charlie Sheen's ex-wife pleads guilty to reduced cocaine charge
ASPEN, Colo. (AP) ' Charlie Sheen's ex-wife has pleaded guilty to a reduced cocaine drug charge under a deferred judgment that means her record will remain clean after she serves a year of probation.
Court documents show Brooke Mueller appeared Monday in district court in Aspen to plead guilty to felony drug possession of four grams or less. In exchange, prosecutors agreed to drop the more charge of serious possession with intent to distribute, as well as a misdemeanor third-degree assault charge.
Sentencing is scheduled for May 7.
Charges stemmed from Mueller's arrest Dec. 3 following a woman reporting being assaulted at a nightclub.
Sheen and Mueller divorced last year after Sheen was arrested on suspicion of assaulting her in 2009. He pleaded guilty to misdemeanor assault and completed his probation in 2010.

The big terrestrial channels may be buying fewer shows, but the U.K. remains fertile ground for imports across all genres, especially drama and comedy.
"The BBC and ITV are less interested in U.S. shows than they used to be," says Catherine Powell, who runs Disney's distribution arm for Europe, the Middle East and Africa. "Channel 4 and Channel 5 are both big buyers and so are Sky and UK TV. The U.K. remains a lively and highly dynamic market."
For all the buzz around social networks, the emergence of new video-on-demand platforms such as Netflix, which claims a million U.K. subscribers, and new connected services like YouView, the popularity of traditional terrestrial TV shows no sign of waning. Deloitte consulting firm calculates that on a typical evening at 9 o'clock some 27 million Brits are watching the box.
"Whatever people say, linear TV is here to stay," observes Emma Scott, managing director of digital satellite platform Freesat. "We watch an average of around 4 1/2 hours a day."
This, of course, translates into plenty of opportunities for distributors.
BSkyB's acquisitions topper Sarah Wright is one of the U.K.'s biggest buyers. Despite the pay box commissioning more British-made fare, she expects her team to be as busy as ever in Cannes.
"We always want to get the best entertainment to our customers and will be looking at shows across a wide range of genres," she says.
STRENGTHS: Major webs ploughing a lot of resources into local drama.
WEAKNESSES: Overreliance on period sagas and revived formats.
SHOWCASE SHOW: "Parade's End," scripted by Tom Stoppard, proves ambition is still alive and kicking.

Grants and scholarships, often referred to as "gift aid," help reduce the loans students need to borrow, the hours they need to work and/or the extent they and their families need to use their savings to cover the costs of their education. While Seattle University awards as much gift aid as possible, from federal, state, institutional and private sources, students are also encouraged to seek out as much outside gift aid as possible, as early as possible. The Scholarship Search here is one good resource for doing just that.
In the topics listed to the left, students can learn about the various kinds of grants and scholarships included in their financial aid awards as well as from outside sources like the Veterans Administration.

Communication Major Requirements | Communication Minor Requirements | Course Descriptions
The interdisciplinary program in Communication (previously known as Communication Processes) offers contemporary communication studies emphasizing comprehensive understanding of communication in traditional and new media and in-depth study of particular forms of communication. Students come to understand how communication happens; how messages are put into visual and verbal codes; how messages are filtered through various media; how messages are interpreted in different contexts; and how students construct those contexts.
New information technologies tend to merge media. A major or minor in Communication provides the kind of integrative knowledge that is required for professional careers in the field.
Before being admitted to the Communication major, a student must earn a minimum grade point average (gpa) of 2.5 based on completion of 30 degree credits and must complete an application form and related items that can be found on the Communication web page. Students not meeting the gpa minimum may contact their faculty adviser for information on appeal procedures. Transfer students need to complete 15 UW-Green Bay credits with a minimum grade point average of 2.5 before they are eligible to apply to the program.
Internships in Communication provide qualified students with opportunities for faculty-supervised experience in professional settings outside the classroom. In addition, several Communication courses involve students in research projects in the community.
Communication graduates have entered a wide variety of academic and professional areas: news reporting, photojournalism, broadcast journalism, photographic illustration, television production, printing and publications, advertising, sales and marketing, management consulting, technical writing and editing, public relations, and government service, as well as graduate study in photography, theoretical and applied linguistics, information science, library science, journalism, media studies, and telecommunications.
Communication offers five areas of emphasis.
- In electronic media, students need more than just knowledge of production techniques. Professional advancement requires skills in writing, editing, advertising and sales, market and audience research, as well as knowledge of new media and their impact on society and culture.
- Students in organizational communication develop basic communication skills needed in organizations, such as speaking, interviewing, and discussion skills. They also learn about sources of communication problems in organizations, apply strategies for discovering and solving these problems, and build an understanding of current theories of organizational communication.
- Photography students come to understand photography as a problem-solving process, combining imagination, intuition, critical analysis, and mastery of tools and materials, including traditional photographic means and digital imaging systems. The integration of theoretical concepts and practical experience prepares students for diverse applications of photography.
- In journalism, students will develop writing and editing skills, the ability to do in-depth research and reporting, a concern for people, a strong sense of autonomy, and a well-rounded understanding of important issues in their field through this program and through a liberal arts education. Students will also gain hands-on experience in journalism through participation in on-campus publications and/or through outside internships.
- Students in public relations complete requirements that reflect the demand for graduates who can write well, are fully acquainted with the wide range of available modes of communication (graphics, print, broadcast, oral discourse, and their many combinations), and are particularly skillful in at least one of them.

Man that sheriff's deputies pursued later found dead in Haiwee Reservoir
A man that Inyo County Sheriff's Department officers pursued during a car chase on May 10 has been identified as the same man found dead in the Haiwee Reservoir on May 17.
On May 17, the Department of Water and Power notified the Inyo County Sheriff's Office that a possible deceased person was spotted in the Haiwee Reservoir.
Sheriff's Deputies and Investigators, as well as Olancha Volunteer Fire Department and Inyo County Coroner, responded to the location and were able to locate the victim.
An autopsy was conducted and determined that the victim was Alan Carter Brown, 42, Inyo Kern.
The cause of death is still pending.
Sheriff's Department determined that Brown was the same subject that officers pursued on the evening of May 10. Brown's vehicle became disabled when it hit a guard-rail in his attempt to evade officers, after which he took off on foot.
Brown was last seen running east-bound from S. R. 395 on the aqueduct road.
The investigation is ongoing.

Recently, a neighbor's wife died. She was then cremated. They want to take her ashes and spread them in the mountains she enjoyed hiking so much. As Catholics, are we allowed to cremate (I think we are now) and are we allowed to spread the ashes?
While cremation is definitely becoming more and more popular, it is actually something new to Catholic Christian tradition. The early Church retained the Jewish practice of bodily burial and rejected the common pagan Roman practice of cremation. The basis for this rule was simply that God has created each person in His image and likeness, and therefore the body is good and should be returned to the earth at death (Gen 3:19). Moreover, our Lord Himself was buried in the tomb and then rose in glory on Easter. Therefore, Christians buried their dead both out of respect for the body and in anticipation of the resurrection at the last judgment. St. Paul reminds us, "The Lord Himself will come down from Heaven at the word of command, at the sound of the archangel's voice and God's trumpet; and those who have died in Christ will rise first" (1 Thes 4:16).
The Church's stance against cremation was also reinforced by those who mocked the belief in the resurrection of the body. Many of the early martyrs were burned at the stake and then their persecutors scattered their ashes as a sign of contempt for this Christian belief.
After the legalization of Christianity in the fourth century, cremation generally ceased in the Roman Empire. As Christian culture continued to spread, even in those missionary lands, regular bodily burial became the norm, even in cultures that had once practiced cremation. Due to the religious belief of the people, the civil authorities also outlawed cremation: for example Charlemagne made cremation at capital offense in 789. The only exception given to this rule was when there may have been a mass death and the spread of disease threatened.
In the 19th century, cremation again arose in Europe due greatly to the Freemasonry movement and the rationalist philosophy which denied any notion of the supernatural or spiritual, particularly the immortality of the soul, the afterlife and the resurrection of the body. The concern for hygiene and the conservation of land also prompted a revival. Many began to view cremation as an acceptable funeral custom. Nevertheless, largely motivated by the affront to the Catholic faith posed by cremation, the Church officially condemned the practice in 1886.
The old 1917 Code of Canon Law (No. 1203) prohibited cremation and required the bodies of the faithful to be buried. Again, an exception was given in times of mass death and the threat of disease. Those individuals who had directed their bodies to be cremated were denied ecclesiastical burial.
In 1963, the Church clarified this regulation. The Sacred Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (then known as the Holy Office) issued an instruction "Piam et Constantem" stating, "The constant pious practice among Christians, of burying the bodies of the faithful departed, has always been the object of solicitude on the part of the Church, shown both by providing it with appropriate rites to express clearly the symbolic and religious significance of burial, and by establishing penalties against those who attacked this salutary practice." The Church permitted cremation in cases of necessity, but prohibited it for anyone who was making a stand against the faith.
The new Code of Canon Law (1983) stipulates, "The Church earnestly recommends that the pious custom of burying the bodies of the dead be observed; it does not, however, forbid cremation unless it has been chosen for reasons which are contrary to Christian teaching" (No. 1176.3). Therefore, a person may choose to be cremated if he has the right intention. However, the cremated remains must be treated with respect and should be interred in a grave or columbarium.
A pastoral problem with cremation has concerned their presence at the funeral Mass and then their placement afterwards. Until recently, the cremains could not be present for the funeral Mass. On March 21, 1997, the Sacred Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments granted an indult authorizing each local bishop to set a policy regarding the presence of the cremains for the funeral Mass. The Sacred Congregation emphasized that the cremains must be treated with respect and must be interred after the funeral Mass.
Accordingly, the National Conference of Catholic Bishops with the approval of the Congregation for the Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments issued the following instruction, entitled "Reflections on the Body, Cremation, and Catholic Funeral Rites," which was incorporated into the Order of Christian Funerals: "The cremated remains of a body should be treated with the same respect given to the human body from which they come. This includes the use of a worthy vessel to contain the ashes, the manner in which they are carried, the care and attention to appropriate placement and transport, and the final disposition. The cremated remains should be buried in a grave or entombed in a mausoleum or columbarium. The practice of scattering cremated remains on the sea, from the air, or on the ground, or keeping cremated remains in the home of a relative or friend of the deceased are not the reverent disposition that the Church requires. Whenever possible, appropriate means for recording with dignity the memory of the deceased should be adopted, such as a plaque or stone which records the name of the deceased" (No. 417). Moreover, in the Diocese of Arlington, former Bishop John R. Keating granted permission for the cremains to be present during the funeral Mass, a regulation still enforced today.
As a priest, I believe that the entire Catholic funeral liturgy — the vigil service, the Mass of Christian Burial, and the Final Committal and Burial — offers to us a great reminder of our faith and aids in our healing. The regular liturgical prayers and actions are designed to honor the body. Moreover, the body best reminds us of that person who entered a new life at Baptism, becoming a "temple of the Lord," was anointed at confirmation, was nourished with the holy Eucharist, and has now gone, we hope and pray, to the fulfillment of that life and eternal rest. While the death of someone we love is always hard to face, there is something good and comforting when we gather as a faith community in the presence of our Lord and the body of the deceased, and offer that loved one back to God. Unfortunately, on more than one occasion, I have dealt with families who have had the deceased loved one cremated, and later regretted the action, even feeling great guilt. I always recommend for people who want to be cremated or want to have their deceased loved one cremated that they do so after the funeral Mass and then inter the remains properly. While cremation is permitted and the indult allows the presence of the cremains at the funeral Mass, the preference remains to bury the body of the deceased loved one (Reflections No. 413).

Easter brings with it many predictable foods: chocolate bunnies, jelly beans, ham, and hard-boiled eggs. But some Italians use the season to feature a surprisingly sweet vegetable dish on their tables.
It's called torta co'bischeri agli spinaci. Francine Segan calls it "Tuscany's sweet spinach pie." Segan is a food historian and author of Dolci: Italy's Sweets. She shared a recipe for the pie for All Things Considered's Found Recipe series.
Segan says she stumbled across the dessert while visiting Tuscany. One day while exploring, she came across a side street where people were lined up outside of a bakery.
"When I got to the window [and] looked in, I noticed something bright green," she says. "It was so surprising because the Italians don't generally use food coloring."
The green was from spinach, which is boiled and chopped, then mixed with finely ground almonds, sugar and eggs. Unlike a quiche, the dish is sweet. Segan says during the Middle Ages and Renaissance, Italians didn't divide courses the way we do now. It wasn't unusual to have something sweet at the beginning of the meal.
"They thought balance with every course [would] keep the appetite interested throughout the feast," she says.
The spinach pie is baked in a distinctive pie crust, where the dough isn't pinched at the edge, but shaped into chubby round points that mimic bischeri — the tuning pegs of a violin or guitar.
"It's so simple to make and it's so rewarding because the flavors are so unique and surprising — and it's even healthy," Segan says. "You get some of your vegetable servings in dessert."
Recipe: Torta Co' Bischeri Agli Spinaci (Tuscany's Sweet Spinach Pie)
Serves 8 to 10
The ground almond-spinach filling is light and satisfyingly spongy — almost soufflé-like. As with zucchini bread and carrot cake, the spinach contributes an earthy undertone, moistness and an unusually brilliant color.
For the crust
18 ounces (about 3 cups) "OO" or all-purpose flour
9 ounces butter (2 sticks plus 2 tablespoons) unsalted butter
7/8 cup granulated sugar
4 large egg yolks
2 teaspoons baking powder
Zest of 1 lemon
1/4 teaspoon salt
For the filling
10-12 ounces frozen spinach or 1 pound fresh baby spinach
8 ounces blanched almonds
4 large eggs, separated
2/3 cup granulated sugar
2 1/2 ounces minced candied citron or lemon peel
1/4 cup Marschino or other aromatic liqueur
2 tablespoons pine nuts
Confectioners' sugar
For the crust: In a large bowl, in a food processor or on a clean work surface, mix the flour, butter and sugar until the mixture resembles coarse sand.
Add the egg yolks, baking powder, zest and salt, and mix until dough forms.
Roll the dough into a disc, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before rolling out.
Lightly butter a 10-inch deep-dish pie pan.
Roll out 2/3 of the dough, making it large enough to hang well over the sides. If you like, make a series of "peg" shapes along the outer edge of the dough. To do that, fold the edges of dough over and cut into the edges, and gently press "fret" shapes by pinching the dough between thumb and forefinger at a distance of about 1/2 inch apart.
Using a fork, poke holes throughout the entire bottom and sides of the crust.
Roll out the remaining dough to form lattices over the top of the filling. Refrigerate all the dough, covered in plastic wrap, until ready to use.
For the filling: Cook the spinach in a few ounces of salted water until tender. Allow to cool. Squeeze out all the cooking liquids and finely chop in a mini food processor. Reserve.
In a food processor, grind the almonds until they resemble coarse sand. Reserve.
In a bowl, beat the yolks with 1/3 cup of the sugar until creamy and light yellow. Add the almonds and beat until well combined. Add the spinach, candied peel and liqueur, and mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the whites until soft peaks form, then add in the remaining 1/3 cup of sugar and beat until it forms a glossy meringue.
Slowly fold the meringue into the yolk mixture. Pour into the prepared pie crust. Sprinkle with the pine nuts and top with the remaining dough in a lattice pattern.
Bake at 350 degrees for about 1 hour, until golden.
Allow to cool to room temperature, then serve sprinkled with confectioners' sugar.

Today's Found Recipe takes us to Tuscany and it's in advance of Easter. Because chocolate eggs, chocolate bunnies, jelly beans, all those sugary holiday treats, I mean, they're just so predictable. You know what's not predictable?
FRANCINE SEGAN: Torta co'bischeri agli spinaci.
CORNISH: Spinaci in a pie. And no, it's not a quiche. The spinach is boiled and chopped, then mixed with finely ground almonds, sugar and eggs. It's baked in a distinctive pie crust, one where the dough isn't pinched at the edge, but shaped into a chubby, round points. We'll let Francine Segan tell us some more.
SEGAN: That chopped spinach gives it a beautiful green color, gives it a wonderful earthy tone. And more importantly, it became very synonymous with Easter time, with spring, with new green buds bursting out of the ground.
CORNISH: Francine Segan is a food historian and recipe collector, two qualities that make her cookbook, "Dolce: Italy Sweets" both fascinating and delightfully tempting. Here's how she first stumbled upon the improbable sweet spinach pie.
SEGAN: I rented a home for the month in Camaiore, a little town on a hilltop in the province of Lucca in Tuscany. Walking about beautiful cobblestone streets and I noticed on a side street a long line outside a bakery. When I got to the window and looked in, I noticed something bright green. It's so surprising because the Italians don't generally use food coloring, but it was so green. What kind of a green (unintelligible).
I walked in. And I said, what is that? And she looked at me as if, don't you know? Then she explained it's torta co'bischeri agli spinaci, a sweet spinach pie. So I kept asking her, excuse me, this is dessert? (Foreign language spoken) Yes, of course, yes. And it was so strange to imagine spinach for dessert.
SEGAN: The history of Tuscany sweet spinach pie is very interesting. During the Middle Ages and Renaissance, the Italians didn't so much divide courses the way we do. There was more of a mixture. You might have something sweet at the beginning of the meal and they wouldn't necessarily have only sweets at the end. They thought balance with every course to keep the appetite interested throughout the feast.
So the name had something interesting. What is bischeri? It's the tuning part of a violin or a guitar. And so that is why the crust has that kind of round ovalish shape to mimic that. But there's another part of the story.
Nowadays, the word bischeri means in Tuscany, a fool. And it came because when the Duomo was being built in Florence, big cathedral in the center of town, the people that were building it wanted to acquire the land for it. And so they were paying people who owned the land a wonderful fee for the properties.
One family, the Bischeri family, kept holding out. They wanted more money and more money. And at a certain point, the town planners decided to change the angle of the Duomo and to leave the Bischeri family out of it and not buy their land. And so that was such a foolish decision that from the 1300s on, the name Bischeri became the name for a fool, especially about money.
Torta co'bischeri agli spinaci, it's so simple to make and it's so rewarding because the flavors are so unique and surprising. And it's even healthy. You get some of your vegetable servings in dessert.
CORNISH: That's Francine Segan. You can find out how to make sweet spinach pie and see a picture of it in all its bright green glory on our Found Recipe series page at NPR.org.

The MSH in ESCD curriculum will provide students with the knowledge and skills necessary to work and provide leadership in the areas of health and fitness, preventive medicine, cardiopulmonary rehabilitation, diabetes education, strength and conditioning, lifestyle coaching, and research. Thesis option students will begin preparation towards becoming independent investigators by developing the skills necessary to conduct original research. Thesis option students may be exposed to both primary data collection (human subjects) and secondary data analysis (existing data sets). Students planning on pursuing a thesis and terminal degree (e.g., Ph.D., M.D.) are strongly encouraged to pursue elective coursework in chronic disease and nutrition epidemiology. Thesis option students will be accepted each fall on a competitive basis and contingent upon graduate assistantship funding. Students are encouraged to sit for the national certifications offered by the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) and National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA).

According to Baseball Reference, since 1876, there have been 499,590 errors made. So only 410 to go. With 30 teams and about 40 games left for each, there are close to 1200 games left in the season. With a rate of .5-.6 errors per game, there should be around 600 more errors this season and we will pass the 500,000 mark.
There have also been 98,790 hit batters, so that could be passed in a couple of years.
Update: Jose Reyes made the 500,000th error on Sept. 15th. See Marlins' Jose Reyes fumbles way into history with baseball's 500,000th error by Jeff Passan. It also has a video clip.

Your math doesn't work. 2 teams play every game. So 30 teams / 2 * 40 = 600 games left. Implies 300-360 more errors this year.

Each watch different from the next but all with distinctive design, personality and soul.
The "Under Pressure" series - inspired be an antique pressure gauge. Out of the ordinary, in both size and style, the UnderPressure wristwatch features an over-sized single-hand analog seconds counter in the center and a digital time display at six o'clock.
The design is minimally substantial yet slyly industrial. It blends varieties of textures (either brushed colored metallic or deeply textured dials) with simplicity -- it demands a unique individual to share its time with...

The "Megabyte" series is what is commonly called a "mystery dial". Two dots rotate the outer circle revealing the hours and minutes. One hand is distinguished by the other with one solid and one outlined dot-marker. The cases are blackened steel allowing the obscured hands to literally pop right out of the watch face...

The "Hardcore" is one killer watch. A case built as boldly as any civil engineer attempting to construct a solid city bridge. It rises with steely curvature that also fits snugly to the shape of your wrist. The curved metal plates are bracketed together around a mechanical automatic movement and feature an exposed rotor through the porthole crystal caseback. You can watch the motion of the power source that does not need batteries, ever!
A true machine with stylish bravado that continues to the uncommon dial featuring a very unusual layout of numbers and markers. The asymmetrically placed digits lead from zero to the mysterious three sixes indexed by two very thin multi-colored watch hands tipped by dots.

The "Colour" series is minimal design with maximum information! Three separate time zones are exhibited on the dial with your primary timezone on the left and two smaller locales featured on the right side of the dial. A substantial watch with an simple yet stylish modular display. Three colored brushed metallic registers pop right out of the blacked-out dials.

The "Satellite" series are true time machines. Featuring mechanical automatic movements requiring no batteries ever. The watches are powered by a rotor that can be viewed in motion from the case back crystal. Each model indicates two timezones as detailed below:
Big center hand = minutes
Right/Left registers = hours of two time zones
Bottom register = seconds
A big blackened steel square case and dial allows each register to pop off the face with brushed colored metallic circles.

The "Urban" series are true time machines. Featuring mechanical automatic movements requiring no batteries ever. The watches are powered by a rotor that can be viewed in motion from the caseback crystal. Each model indicates two timezones as detailed below:
Big center hand = minutes
Right/Left registers = hours of two time zones
Bottom register = seconds
Each Urban features a uniquely designed dial, either with unusual graphics of overlapping circles, extreme triangles or more simply composed solid colors and a freeform yet exact placement of numbers within the registers.
View 666 Barcelona Urban Automatic Dual Timezone Collection
The "XXL HAND" series is another unique concept from 666. A variety of displays featuring hours spelled out around the bezel and a stark layout of digits for the minutes & seconds.
A big blackened steel square case and leather strap completes the modest yet unusual design.
View 666 Barcelona XXL Hand Collection
The "Adventure" series is truly unique with an unusual layout of numbers that revolve around the dial from upright to upside down. A big watch with an ingenious display. Minimalist thin hands tipped with dots navigate the dial with style.
View 666 Barcelona Adventure Collection
The "BAD" series is quite modern with an minimal crosshair / segmented layout. A substantial watch with an simple yet stylish modular display. The leather strap contains metal links pulling the case design into the bracelet with gusto!
View 666 Barcelona BAD Collection
The "James" series is bold, brash and bombastic. A digital timepiece built inside a brushed metal vault of a case...the time displayed as off-center as the unique individual who wears it. Big protruding buttons control the watch as if you're about to launch an assault. 12 or 24 hour display options.
666 Barcelona James Digital Collection
The "John" series was created for a unique woman. A large watch case and thin leather strap that wraps around the wrist perhaps a dozen times. The dial incorporates the strap by leading a ridge down the middle amidst a carefully designed yet random group of markers. And the final perfect touch from the extra long thin hands tipped with dots... The world's longest watch!
View 666 Barcelona John Collection for Women
The "Queen" series is unlike any ladies watch we've seen! Starting with the face, a "mystery dial" featuring two free-floating dots for hours and minutes. Both of which rotate around the minimalist dial with no hands, nothing visible except for the two orbs.
The straps are leather ropes leading around the watch case and bracketed together with bolted metal attachments and links. An industrial yet feminine look!
View 666 Barcelona Queen Ladies Collection
The "Space Worker" series is an ultra-oversize LED digital watch. Built into a case best appreciated from the side where you can see the "stepped" design, the variation of angles create a unique shape. The on-command light-emitting-diodes illuminate brightly against the black crystal display. 12 or 24 hour display options.

I've been rather passionate about RDM for a very long time, but after 5+ years I've noticed I've been playing WHM in events with a chapeau on, so why not go for the real deal instead?
WHM merits have been left untouched at the moment, but from research I figured:
Tier I
Barspells 5/5
Cure Cast 5/5
Tier II
Shellra V 5/5
Devotion ?/5
Martyr ?/5
Devotion and Martyr I gather are varied, though I believe Devotion is perferred more over Martyr. I've also heard even putting 1 merit in Protectra V means you're a stupid WHM, though I never heard any reason beyond Accession + Protect V being better. Can anyone explain that further?

Wheaton attorney provides array of family services
An interview with Erin Birt, attorney, mediator and founder The Law Firm of Erin Birt & The Birt Group.
Q: Describe your business. What do you do?
The Law Firm of Erin N. BirtOwner: Erin Birt, attorney and mediator
Address: 2100 Manchester Road Buildin B Suite 935, Wheaton, IL 60187
Phone: 630.891.2478 | F: 630.597.2231
Web adress: www.birtlaw.com
A: The Law Firm of Erin Birt & The Birt Group offers a variety of family law and court approved services such as divorce options, court approved divorce-related mediation and court approved DUI risk education, DUI classes, and DUI/substance abuse group treatment. The goal for both the law firm & The Birt Group is to provide a variety of legal and court approved services that minimize conflict, frustration, and costs in order to help the client make positive changes in their life.
Q: What made you start your business?
A: Litigation is not the only divorce option. After years of litigation experience, I created my law firm to offer my clients a variety of affordable dispute resolution options such as mediation, collaborative divorce, a la carte divorce, legal consulting, and litigation when needed. Over the years, I have found that my clients usually save significant time, money, and emotional energy when they resolve their differences out of court, and in a non-adversarial manner.
The Birt Group was created after I observed a need for services that motivate DUI offenders to actively participate in their DUI classes or treatment. Thus I created a unique interactive DUI program where clients benefit from behavioral & art therapy techniques as well as my knowledge of the criminal justice system. By offering a variety of group activities, we are able to affect and engage even more clients.
Q: What has been the most difficult obstacle in running or starting a small business?
A: Resources. Small business owners have to be creative and comfortable with plan B.
Q: What do you enjoy most about operating your business?
A: I enjoy working directly with people and helping them achieve their personal goals. It can be difficult for people to walk through my office door and confront a painful issue such as a custody dispute, a divorce, a DUI, or a substance abuse problem. Our clients, however, have responded that once they initiate services they felt comfortable, supported, and received the tools to build a better future for themselves and their loved ones. Helping people through life transitions is what I enjoy most about my businesses.
Q: Is this what you pictured yourself doing when you were young? When you were young, what did you want to be when you grew up?
A: When I was young, I talked a lot and I asked a lot of questions. I did not know that my life's path would lead me to become both a family law attorney and substance abuse counselor. I, however, have been blessed with opportunities to develop my childhood qualities into skills and a vocation that I enjoy and can use to help others.
Q: What keeps you up at night?
A: My "to do" list, ideas for new services, and my two-year old son.
Q: If you could give one tip to a rookie business owner, what would it be?
A: Write a business plan and update it quarterly or semiannually. When you write things down, you are more likely to follow through and achieve your goals.
• Every Monday we feature a small suburban business. We want to hear about yours. Contact Kim Mikus at firstname.lastname@example.com.

BOSTON — For all the scouting, planning, viewing of videotape, and crunching of numbers, World Series tend to wind up like summer vacations. There are flat tires, thunderstorms, one-lane bridges and the occasional bout of food poisoning. Nothing ever quite works out the way it's supposed to.
BOSTON — For all the scouting, planning, viewing of videotape, and crunching of numbers, World Series tend to wind up like summer vacations.
There are flat tires, thunderstorms, one-lane bridges and the occasional bout of food poisoning. Nothing ever quite works out the way it's supposed to.
It has been that way for the Red Sox all year long, except that the surprises have been almost uniformly good. They need that run of good fortune to continue for somewhere between four and seven games if they're going to beat the St. Louis Cardinals and become World Champions for the eighth time.
St. Louis has won two of the three previous World Series meetings between the teams, but the only one that contemporary players, coaches and managers remember is 2004 — a Boston sweep.
"Some of us here have some pretty bad memories of being here in 2004," Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said on Tuesday, "and we're looking to kind of right that ship. But the team we played in '04 was as hot as any team in baseball, and they came in and played the kind of baseball that we needed to and we didn't."
St. Louis is looking for its 12th World Series triumph, and the view here is that the Cardinals will do it in six games.
To get to the World Series, the Red Sox have taken advantage of every mistake the opposition has made, be it the Rays or the Tigers. There is nothing wrong with that — in football, giveaways and takeaways can be measured and good teams are usually way on the plus side — and Boston is definitely "plus" in the mistake-gift department.
The Cardinals are not going to make that many mistakes.
The Rays had no offense. The Tigers were badly flawed and somehow reached the ALCS behind three players — Miguel Cabrera, Justin Verlander and Max Scherzer. St. Louis does not have an MVP bat in the lineup, but it has a deeper starting rotation than the Tigers, and a better one than the Red Sox.
Boston has had two reliable starters during the postseason. One is Jon Lester, who gets the ball in Game 1 tonight. The other has been John Lackey, who will pitch Game 2. Clay Buchholz has been a half-game pitcher and Jake Peavy has had one good start and one awful one.
St. Louis is four deep with tonight's starter, Adam Wainwright, followed by Michael Wacha, Lance Lynn and Joe Kelly. Wacha will start Game 2. He and Wainwright are 5-1, 1.02 combined so far in the playoffs.
The Cardinals may be able to take the speed dimension away from Boston as well, although the Sox beat the Tigers with grand slams more than speed. Catcher Yadier Molina is a force.
"He's a shutdown thrower behind the plate," Sox manager John Farrell said, "but in addition to his ability to throw the baseball, their pitchers do a good job with their unloading times as well. We're still trying to get our arms around it, trying to maybe be opportunistic in certain situations."
Lester and Lackey are a combined 4-1 in the playoffs with a 2.59 ERA, and Fenway Park does present the Red Sox with what most players and managers think is a distinct home-field advantage. Boston split the first two games of the ALCS with the Tigers and went on to take the series in six, so a split would not be the end of the world.
This will be Lester's 10th postseason start for the Red Sox, so he brings a veteran presence to the mound. Boston is 5-4 in his nine previous playoff starts.
"In the postseason," he said, "you've got to stay away from big innings. If you can minimize that to one, maybe two runs and give your team a chance. Obviously, with their pitching staff, it's going to be tough again for us. But keep them in the ballgame and hopefully in the end we have a chance to win."
"I don't want to make it like an ordinary game," Wainwright said. "I want this to mean even more than regular games.
"What I've found throughout my playoff career so far is that I respond really well when the adrenaline really kicks in. I love that. The crowd gets louder, I get more fired up."
The crowd should be deafening tonight. It will be Red Sox' job to increase the volume, and Wainwright's job to hit the "mute" button. And that's not something a lot of opposition pitchers have been able to do at Fenway this season.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The White House on Wednesday voiced confidence in the U.S. ambassador to Egypt, Anne Patterson, who has come under fire for criticism she made of planned rallies against the Muslim Brotherhood before the military takeover in Egypt a week ago.
Patterson's remarks were covered extensively by local media and were denounced by Egyptian opposition leaders who accused her of interference in Egypt's internal affairs.
At his daily news briefing, White House spokesman Jay Carney said Patterson is "absolutely" seen as an effective advocate for U.S. policy in Egypt.
"She's an excellent career diplomat, has served admirably in a variety of posts prior to Egypt and Pakistan. She's doing a great job," Carney said.
He rejected the notion that by engaging with the Egyptian government she was picking sides in Egypt. She worked with ousted Egyptian President Mohamed Mursi and will work with the next democratically elected civilian government when it is in place, he said.
"She's an expert in the area and a supremely skilled diplomat," Carney said.

Nantucket Autism Speaks Resource Center
News and Press Releases
For more information, contact:
Kim Horyn, Director
Nantucket Autism Speaks Resource Center
The United Nations has adopted a resolution declaring April 2nd as World Autism Awareness Day, which speaks to the prevalence and significance of the autism epidemic world-wide. There are only two other health-related United Nations World Day events: Diabetes and AIDS. April is also National Autism Awareness Month.
In recognition of these occasions and to increase awareness of the autism epidemic, the Nantucket Autism Speaks Resource Center has coordinated several community-wide events:
on April 1stand 2nd , the Nantucket School Committee and the Board of Selectmen, respectively, will read a proclamation to "implement the ideals of World Autism Awareness Day on Nantucket on April 2nd in perpetuity until the cure for autism is found;"
1:00 pm, Saturday, April 5th, the Nantucket Atheneum will host a reading for children, aged 3 – 8, at the Atheneum, with dessert to follow;
the Starlight Theatre will show Autism the Musical, a documentary film that follows the families of children with autism (date to be determined);
the Nantucket Public School system will also be involved with teachers wearing the puzzle piece pin and leading classroom discussions and readings;
Nantucket Cottage Hospital will display the Warning Signs of autism throughout the hospital and in the doctors' offices;
Childcare centers will also display the Warning Signs of autism for parents and childcare providers.
the Nantucket Autism Speaks Resource Center will donate nearly 100 books to island schools and childcare centers for the purpose of conducting discussions with students about what autism is and the importance of befriending children with autism
Bob and Suzanne Wright, who co-founded Autism Speaks in 1995 when their grandson was diagnosed with autism, welcomed the adoption of the United Nations' resolution.
"By bringing autism awareness to a global level, we'll give it a voice to the millions of children worldwide who are undiagnosed, misunderstood, abused and looking for help," Bob Wright said
The mission of the Nantucket Autism Speaks Resource Center is to provide current information and comprehensive resources for families, professionals and the community for the purpose of educating and increasing awareness of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The Resource Center is dedicated to empowering families and individuals impacted by autism to make informed decisions by providing resource information that covers all aspects of autism and ASD, from birth through adult care.
The Nantucket Walk for Autism is scheduled for Saturday, August 16th. Community members are invited to join the Walk and convene a team and can register at www.walknowforautism.org/nantucket.
For more information, please visit www.autismspeaks.org, or contact Kim Horyn, Nantucket Autism Speaks Resource Center Director, at email@example.com,

The goal is to inform decision-makers, scientists and the interested public about arctic environmental and development issues.

Many of these systems are now being destabilized by threats such as climate change. We hope that this publication will bring forward ideas on how to address the threats, and keep the Arctic in balance.

Our Pappy worked his whole life to make our family stronger, better and for us to live a comfortable life, when his dream never came to fruition, we felt the least we could do was name our pubs after him.

A creative menu made up of comfort food favorites like the Prime Rib Sandwich, Steak & Shrooms, Farm stand BLTA, Grilled Cheese and Tomato Bisque, multiple burgers with garlic fries and a Scratch Chicken Pot Pie to unique and inventive items like our Rare Ahi Egg Rolls, Pretzel Fondue, Filet Mignon Sliders and Fried Mac & Cheese. We also feature a wide varitiy of seafood dishes like locally famous fried Calamari, Raw Blue Point Oysters, Fresh Halibut & Chips and Oysters Rockefeller.

Broward County considers its artists, as a collective, one of its treasured resources. Within the last 5 years from 2007 through 2012, in the midst of a great recession, with business declining and inventories dwindling, the Creative sector, fueled by its artists has grown, both in employees and businesses. This has created a direct positive effect on the economics of Broward County as a whole. In support of this blossoming group of entrepreneurs, below is listed a number of tools and resources available to help continue this growth and development.

Elizabeth Vargas has finally opened up about her battle with alcoholism, and millions of faithful TV viewers tuned in to watch her candid discussion about addiction and rehab.
The television anchor returned to ABC's 20/20 on Friday night, and earned the newsmagazine's biggest audience in four years. According to Fox News Latino, the Nielsen Company said an estimated 8.3 million people tuned in to watch Vargas discuss her stint in rehab.
The 51-year-old journalist spoke about her struggles with addiction, and admitted it took her years to admit she had a problem with excessive wine-drinking. She said that she was angry when her husband, singer-songwriter Marc Cohn, first told her she had a problem.
Vargas also spoke to George Stephanopoulos on Friday's episode of Good Morning America. "I am. I am an alcoholic," she acknowledged. "It took me a long time to admit that to myself. It took me a long time to admit it to my family, but I am."
The Huffington Post reports that she said that it had been "exhausting" to hide her drinking problem, and she realized she needed to get help when she showed up to work at 20/20 and realized she was "in no shape to do that interview."
The 20/20 anchor claims that her alcohol addiction began as a coping mechanism. Vargas says that she's suffered from anxiety problems and panic attacks since childhood.
"I dealt with that anxiety, and with the stress that the anxiety brought my starting to drink. And it slowly escalated and got worse and worse," she described. Finally, last fall, she checked herself into rehab for alcohol abuse. She left the center against the advice of the rehab facility, but checked back in and completed treatment.
ABC News had expressed its support for Elizabeth Vargas, and said they would welcome her back when she's ready.
We're glad to see Elizabeth healthier and back on screen! What do you think of her comments?
