Now I have a child, one of the things I find really challenging is receiving gifts (in particular clothes) for my little girl, which turn out to be useless. This isn't about Wholesale Baby Clothing, as I want to share my biggest frustrations, especially when others take the time to shop for baby clothing. Even more important is the thought that people spent their hard earned money on things that will never see the light of the day.
Over the past twelve weeks, I have received numerous little dresses, jackets, jumpsuits, bibs and other beautiful clothes that are now all sitting in a bag ready to go onto eBay never being worn by my little girl. Why may you ask?
When it comes to baby clothes, there are four simple criteria's that I stick to:
1. Is it easy to put on? There's nothing worse than trying to get a very complicated outfit onto a little squirming infant. Particularly after bathing, it is quite common for the little ones to get a bit restless especially if you take your time trying to dry out well all of the little folds around the neck, underarms and so on. Avoid buying outfits that contain many buttons on the back or long sleeve shirts and jumpsuits that need to be put over the head. Ideally, little jumpsuits that button up all the way down the front are an ideal solution for newborns.
2. What is it made of? This is a big one for me. Many of us don't like to wear clothes made out of synthetic fibres as they simply don't breathe inturn causing sweating and general discomfort. If an adult is either hot or uncomfortable, they can simply change. A baby however cannot. Instead, babies either cry, or if still unchanged, put up with the situation in discomfort. Secondly, many studies show that all babies should only ever sleep in clothing made from natural fibres such as cotton, as there is a lower risk of SIDS. Babies sleeping in items made from synthetic fibres such as polyester can over heat during the night without your knowledge, thus increasing the risks.
3. Is it appropriate for the weather? It's lovely jumping online or going to the shops to find funky baby clothing that dazzles you with the gorgeous range of baby girl dresses, or little shorts and T-shirt sets for boys. You need to however take into consideration whether they these outfits are appropriate for the season. Avoid little sleeveless dresses and short sleeve outfits in wintertime; likewise thick jumpsuits may not be the best solution for summer either. If you are set on buying that little dress, and it is winter time, make sure that you buy it in a larger size.
4. What about the size – Most mothers (especially first time mums) tend to get over excited and buy a whole heap of baby clothes before the little one arrives into our world. Usually, they will be well stocked up for the first 6 – 8 weeks. When buying baby clothes, try to purchase items that the child can wear 3-6 months down the track. Also around that time, the families would have spent a great deal of money on the multitude of items that a baby needs so cash may become a little scarce – especially if the mother is intending on taking long maternity leave. Always remember though, if the baby is born in the middle of the winter, don't buy winter clothes; rather look at items suitable for spring.
When buying baby clothes as a gift it's quite easy to get it right. Simply consider the following: Is this outfit going to be useful, is it going to be comfortable, will it be easy to put on, and by the time the bub grows into it, will it be appropriate for the current season.

We went ears-on with Tivoli Audio's new PAL+ at IFA this year and now everyone can get their hands on the upgraded portable radio.
That little plus sign refers to its new DAB capabilities – and don't be fooled by its tiny proportions. Tivoli Audio reckons that the PAL+'s 6.5cm full-range driver will ensure it sounds as good as its big brothers, whether you're kicking back to DAB or old-school FM.
As well as the standard stereo headphone output, there's also a 3.5mm aux-in jack so you can play tunes from your iPhone, iPod or Android phone, or stream tracks from Spotify Premium on your mobile.
The PAL+ has just gone on sale for £250 at Tivoli Audio's online store, ahead of its high street release. You can get it in red, yellow, black and white but we're quite taken with the high-gloss blue and white design.

ATLANTA, Ga. – Scott Antiques Market is a trove of unusual discoveries and the Nov. 10-13, 2011 event was no different. One regular visitor to the show, a mailman from the Atlanta area, found an early bed mangle. Mangles are a hand carved and decorated ash boards used to flatten a feather bed.
He also purchased three tanned leather containers, made about 200 years ago to store provisions such as seed or powdered paints, from a Vermont dealer. They trio cost $140 but in fact were worth much more, perhaps as much as $1,000, according to another dealer who appraised them for the buyer.
The event filled its two huge halls early Nov. 10-13, 2011 with several thousand dealers across 3,300 spaces. Shoppers were there early, searching for the next additions to their collections, fresh décor for clients or their own homes or inventories. The weekend included Veterans Day, with local schools and government offices closed, giving many more people the chance to come to this event. According to Show Manager Don Scott "the parking lot was as full as it ever has been and the aisles in our two giant buildings were full as well for most of Friday and Saturday."
Customers concentrated on buying smalls but many also "stepped up for a good deal of furniture" according to Ohio dealer Kathy Mongenas. She was pleased with their weekend as six pieces of furniture, all early hardwoods found new owners.
A larger number of Northern dealers find their way south in the later months, including Tom Nagy of Chelsea Hill Antiques from Hampton, Conn. His inventory had both early hardwood and softwood furniture. The front piece for this month was a painted blanket chest from Pennsylvania priced at $2,800.
Jeanne M. Tardif of Roswell, Ga. offered a collection of traditional antiques and popular contemporary selections. Her business headquartered in Roswell, a northern Atlanta suburb, includes a large collection of French and English furnishings. Her lamps sold very well at the November show and included many objects repurposed from something else such as the transit tripod at the center of her exhibit.
Steve Winter, the owner of Historic Americana in Atlanta, has been specializing in flags, pennants and other patriotic Americana. For the November and December Scott shows he makes the booth a display for the flags, leaving most of the folk art home, as his customers shop for patriotic Christmas gifts.
Atlanta dealer Barry Inman was showing and selling Federal and Regency furniture: a pair of very large mirrors in bold wooden frames covered in gold leaf sold along with a pair of upholstered arm chairs. He also featured a pair of American Regency/Federal arm chairs ready for reupholstering and a similar sofa. He sells every month from the North Building.
Judy Hair has a place in the back of that building where she can be found every month except for one or two in the summer when she and her husband vacation in Maine, when she shops for additions to her collections and inventory. This month she was selling early furniture and several hooked rugs from New England.
The South Building of the Scott Show began several years after the North Building. With the market already strong when it opened, many dealers took big show spaces which today allow them to show larger furniture collections. Collections of imported furniture from the 19th Century can be found in the larger exhibits there.
The south end of the South Building has become a haven for many country dealers. Mapleside Antiques makes the trip from Titusville, Penn., virtually every month with a big collection of Early American Country smalls and enough furniture to display it all as a room setting.
North Carolina transplant "Tom The Picker" also has a regular space filled with the results of his searching in the Carolinas and at shows and flea markets through the southeast.
"Scott Antiques Market is a popular shopping destination for all these years because there is vast variety and tremendous selection from the several thousand dealers exhibiting here," Don Scott said. "Our shoppers come here knowing they will have great choices and opportunities to buy the special antiques and collectibles they are looking for."
The show is the second weekend of every month, 12 months a year, with easy access on Jonesboro Road at I-285 via the Atlanta Beltway.

VIENNA (AP) — Temperatures have hit all-time highs in Austria and neighboring Hungary as a stubborn heat wave nears the end of its second week.
Thursday's 40.5 degrees Celsius (105 degrees Fahrenheit Thursday eclipsed the previous record of 39.9 degrees Celsius (104 Fahrenheit) set just five days before.
In Hungary, temperatures were fractionally lower at 40 C Thursday. Officials there have issued a heat warning, while some government ministries have relaxed dress codes. For men, that means ties and jackets can be left at home. For women, pantyhose is optional.
Croatia sent two water-dropping planes to Bosnia earlier in the week to help battle wildfires set off by drought and sweltering heat that threatened several villages. A Russian aircraft was dispatched to fight blazes in Serbia.
Temperatures also nearly broke records in Poland.

Research Interests:
In general, my research focuses on exploring the cognitive unconscious, with a special emphasis on unconscious memory. More particularly, my current projects center on three related issues.
It is well established that memory can be viewed as involving both conscious (explicit) and unconscious (implicit) components. How these two memorial forms can be best distinguished with respect to characteristics other than the accessibility of the content to conscious awareness is of considerable debate. That is, what makes an implicit memory different from an explicit memory besides the fact that the later can be accessed consciously whereas the former cannot?
The first branch of my research activities, involves examination of factors that may distinguish implicit from explicit memory. For example, recent and/or current studies attempt to address the following questions. Are implicit memories less abstract than explicit memories? Are implicit memories influenced by factors typically associated with episodic memory? By contrast, are explicit memories influenced by factors typically associated with semantic memory? Are implicit memories more sensitive to context effects than explicit memories?
Although all my research activities examine questions related to the cognitive unconscious, I try to remain open to new directions that embrace student interests. Two additional research directions have evolved from projects developed in conjunction with undergraduate researchers.
The first of these recent research directions concentrates on tests of theories regarding the relationship between math anxiety and math performance. Specifically, attention is directed toward the contributions of unconscious processes.
False memories are formed as the result of unconscious memorial processes. The third of my research foci involves explorations of the factors that influence the development of false memories, and therefore the maintenance of accurate memory. Processing mode and context variation constitute the factors under current examination.

My Highlights from Zona MACO 2014
Patricia Martin
In Siobhan Hapaska's sprawling mixed-media installations and discrete sculptural works, the artist presents a somber exploration of emotion that is undercut with a subtle sense of humor. Hapaska often combines natural materials, such as trees and skulls, with synthetic ones. Though her work elides representation and direct references, she incorporates concrete cultural symbols. In a 2011 installation, for example, she affixed nine charred tree stumps to metal supports so that they resembled the nine candles of a Hanukkah menorah. In all of her work, Hapaska is less interested in exploring cultural specificity than in the attendant emotional residue carried by the forms she adopts.

Through our youth recreation program, we're making sure that America's kids experience wilderness first-hand.
Why get youth outside?
America's children are spending less time outside than ever before. We see the consequences in their health, in classrooms and on neglected lands. Youth recreation can help restore our youth and our lands, and make both healthier and more resilient.
Youth organizations on national forests
Many national forests are near urban areas, making them the perfect place to get city kids outdoors. Yet organizations that provide outdoor experiences for youth find that they are often unable to use national forests because of U.S. Forest Service rules.
Youth recreation partnerships
Diverse and non-traditional allies are all coming together to get our kids outside. Whether it is First Lady Michelle Obama's "Let's Move!" and President Obama's America's Great Outdoors initiative or the YMCA and REI, people everywhere are recognizing that we desperately need to reconnect kids with nature.

Be the first to hear about important campaigns, victories and features related to enjoying and protecting wilderness by joining our email and mobile WildAlert network.

A University of the Pacific archive recently acquired material from The Stuart Little Band, an extraordinary, almost-famous '70s Stockton rock band whose story includes a tragic subplot.
A University of the Pacific archive recently acquired material from The Stuart Little Band, an extraordinary, almost-famous '70s Stockton rock band whose story includes a tragic subplot.
Pacific's Holt Atherton Special Collections accepted The Gordon Clark Collection of band effects: reel-to-reel recordings, papers, scores, posters, etc.
A rock musician's effects are an unusual addition to a scholarly archive. "Stuart Little Band and Clark somewhat demonstrate the life of a local band during a significant time in rock music," archivist Michael Wurtz explained.
The collection indeed chronicles the life of a band - and the death of Clark, its songwriter, harmonica player, poet and background vocalist, who committed suicide in 1979.
Named for E.B. White's adventurous mouse, The Stuart Little Band was a folk rock quintet, 1969-73. These guys were no garage band. Two were trained at UOP's Conservatory.
Distinctively, the band had no drummer; rhythm came from a small percussion and strong bass/rhythm guitar. Two vocalists often sang in duet.
The lineup included a flutist and a virtuoso lead guitarist, poet and - often, as guest star - a mime, Stockton's Bernie Bang.
Performing original songs, Stuart Little became a favorite opener for heavyweight musical acts touring the Bay Area, including David Bowie, Van Morrison and Bob Marley.
They wowed critics. The San Francisco Chronicle called them "A little known, astonishing band." A Sacramento critic praised them as "original and sometimes arresting." KCBS radio: "Stuart Little Band is bound to be the mouse that roared."
Today, rhythm guitarist Scott Liggett is an Emmy-winning composer and music producer in Hollywood (when I called, he said he had a meeting with Chelsea Handler in 10 minutes).
"I think we really had the core ingredients for doing music at that time," said Liggett, 65. "We were very conscious of all the basic things of music: melody, counterpoint, dynamics, arrangements."
With the percussion dialed down, the band's elegant musicality came to the fore, Liggett said. Being so different, the band complemented headliners.
"That's why we got passed around so much as opening act. We could open for Sarah Vaughan one night, we could open for Van Morrison the next night ... Buddy Rich ... it was crazy."
During summers, the band toured the coast and Tahoe, eyes on a recording deal.
"Gordy wanted to be a millionaire," said his sister, Susan Clark of Bellingham, Wash. (Clark's band mates nicknamed him "Grode"). "He had this drive, this desire. He really wanted to go someplace and do something and be somebody."
Maturing, Stuart Little created a 22-song rock opera. "Ravel" is the story of a Stockton farm worker who overcomes heartbreak and finds himself through music.
"Ravel" combined folk rock, orchestral music, song, dance and mime. When Stuart Little performed it locally, a critic called it "striking."
The music industry took notice. The band did demos in L.A. Bigwig impresarios Robert Stigwood and Lou Adler expressed interest.
But the band, so harmonious in music, was dissonant on percentages and other business matters.
The Whiskey a Go Go, the West Hollywood launching pad for innumerable rock stars, offered Stuart Little a booking. The band instead opted to honor its contract to play in Lake Tahoe.
"We didn't know what we were doing," said bass player Stephen Solari, now a retired psychologist in Stockton. "It was misdirection."
Then Clark began to come apart. His condition was later diagnosed as schizophrenia. His young band mates knew only that Gordy became someone they couldn't handle anymore. He had to go.
It was a blow to Stuart Little.
"It shook us up; it really did," Liggett said. "It was like losing a family member and a creative brother."
Clark retreated to family in Marin. His conditioned worsened. On Dec. 27, 1978, despondent after years of struggling against schizophrenia, he shot himself.
His family donated his musical effects to his school.
His band mates went on to have several brushes with stardom. "We were just on the edge," Liggett said.
But The Stuart Little Band band broke up in 1973, the mouse that almost roared.

League of Women Voters hosts Stockton mayoral candidates

League of Women Voters hosts Stockton mayoral candidates
Silva, Johnston debate issues
STOCKTON, Calif. (KCRA) —
Stockton residents on Monday night listened to mayoral candidates in a voter forum held by the League of Women Voters of San Joaquin County.
Mayor Ann Johnston and challenger Anthony Silva held a half-hour forum discussing several issues, including the city's financial situation, along with crime.
"I am running for mayor because citizens are being gunned down in Stockton," Silva said.
Mayor Johnston said she believes she has helped put Stockton on the right path to curtail violence.
"Experience does count in this election," she said.
Jamal Houston-Brown, an undecided voter, said what he is looking for in a candidate is simple.
"A little more effort needs to be done to keep us safe," he told KCRA 3.

and headaches. It's been found that these symptoms tend to occur due to craniofacial adaptations, forward head posture and overuse of certain muscles in the jaw and neck. Even abnormalities in the diaphragm and obliques can affect breathing that contributes to facial and neck pain.
According to the
Odetina 2018 New Fashion Luxury Suede Wedge High Heels How Much Cheap Online Free Shipping Fashion Style mKb3RS1
website, after 35 years of practice, Ron Hruska, PT, "realized through clinical observations and study of older literature on the vision system that controlling input from the vision system might be the key to helping many people obtain aneutral (more balanced and relaxed) posture, relaxed neck and trunk, and pain relief for the long term."
The PRI approach to using vision to rehabilitate the body works by reversing painful patterns of the vestibular (inner ear) and neuro-muscular systems. Parts of the brain and nervous system affected by vision include areas of human behavior, nerves that control posture and body position, and muscles of the trunk and spine, among others. In fact, 70 percent or more of the human brain is wired to the vision system, so vision affects many aspects of well-being.
Therapists use the Dynamic Integrated Vision Assessment (or DIVA) to evaluate how patients' vision may impact their muscle patterns and functionality. The PRI vision center explains that when therapists use "a very specific and specialized eyeglass prescription, along with a patient-specific program of PRI exercises, the brain and nervous system seem to re-wire themselves. The proper communication between the brain and the body becomes embedded, providing long term relief." ()
By decreasing muscular tension and musculoskeletal imbalance, PRI Vision treatments can be beneficial for a wide range of patients dealing with problems such as: neck pain,dizziness and balance problems, poor sleep patterns, fibromyalgia-type symptoms, jaw and facial pain, or chronic fatigue.
There are as many as 350 manual and non-manual techniques (exercises) used in PR. Therapists may use heat and props such as balloons or balls to help patients perform exercises properly and increase flexibility. Most patients will need to be visit a therapist between 7–15 times to see improvements (sometimes less or more), with each visit lasting about 1–2 hours. Below are several examples of popular postural restoration exercises:

— To perform diaphragmatic breathing, you want the abdomen to expand first, then the chest. Try not to use your neck and stiffness your shoulders. Breathe in through the nose and out through the mouth. Exhale twice as long as inhaling to engage your abdominals. Take these long, slow breaths for several minutes at a time, trying to breath about 8 to 10 times per minute.
This article explains the concepts behind how WebAssembly works including its goals, the problems it solves, and how it runs inside the web browser's rendering engine.
WebAssembly is a new type of code that can be run in modern web browsers and provides new features and major gains in performance. It is not primarily intended to be written by hand, rather it is designed to be an effective compilation target for low-level source languages like C, C++, Rust, etc.
This has huge implications for the web platform — it provides a way to run code written in multiple languages on the web at near-native speed, with client apps running on the web that previously couldn't have done so.
What's more, you don't even have to know how to create WebAssembly code to take advantage of it. WebAssembly modules can be imported into a web (or Node.js) app, exposing WebAssembly functions for use via JavaScript. JavaScript frameworks could make use of WebAssembly to confer massive performance advantages and new features while still making functionality easily available to web developers.
WebAssembly is being created as an open standard inside the W3C WebAssembly Community Group with the following goals:
: WebAssembly will also have uses outside web and JavaScript environments (see
Active enduring women hot fashion sport knitting shoes Limited Edition Online BQhwOxNL
The web platform can be thought of as having two parts:
Historically, the VM has been able to load only JavaScript. This has worked well for us as JavaScript is powerful enough to solve most problems people have on the Web today. We have run into performance problems, however, when trying to use JavaScript for more intensive use cases like 3D games, Virtual and Augmented Reality, computer vision, image/video editing, and a number of other domains that demand native performance (see
Manchester Great Sale Sale Online Buy Cheap Clearance OZZEG Black Women Wedges Soft genuine Leather High Heel Clearance Low Shipping Fee Cost Sale Online x0BonvTnQd
for more ideas).
Additionally, the cost of downloading, parsing, and compiling very large JavaScript applications can be prohibitive. Mobile and other resource-constrained platforms can further amplify these performance bottlenecks.
WebAssembly is a different language from JavaScript, but it is not intended as a replacement. Instead, it is designed to complement and work alongside JavaScript, allowing web developers to take advantage of both languages' strong points:
There are several key concepts needed to understand how WebAssembly runs in the browser. All of these concepts are reflected 1:1 in the .
The JavaScript API provides developers with the ability to create modules, memories, tables, and instances. Given a WebAssembly instance, JavaScript code can synchronously call its exports, which are exposed as normal JavaScript functions. Arbitrary JavaScript functions can also be synchronously called by WebAssembly code by passing in those JavaScript functions as the imports to a WebAssembly instance.
Since JavaScript has complete control over how WebAssembly code is downloaded, compiled and run, JavaScript developers could even think of WebAssembly as just a JavaScript feature for efficiently generating high-performance functions.
In the future, WebAssembly modules will be

(using ), meaning that JavaScript will be able to fetch, compile, and import a WebAssembly module as easily as an ES2015module.

National Visa Center
On 06.27.13 | In USCIS Blog, By USCIS Info
The National Visa Center (NVC) enters the immigrant visa process once the immigrant visa is approved by United States and Citizenship Immigration Service (USCIS). The USCIS will forward approved immigrant petitions to the NVC for an immigrant pre-processing. If immigrant petition was filed based on immediate relative categories, there is no yearly numerical limits. For family preference and employment immigrant categories there are numerical limits each year; and therefore, wait times should be expected and can be lengthy for visa processing to begin.
After the NVC receives the immigrant visa petition and if your priority date meets the most recent qualifying date the NVC will collect visa application fees, accept your visa application along with supporting documents and hold your visa petition until an interview can be scheduled with a consular office at US Embassy or US Consulate office.
If the NVC receives immigrant petition and the priority date does not meet the most qualify date, you will be notified by the NVC and your petition will be held until your priority date meets the most recent qualifying date. Qualifying dates are updated on a monthly basis by the Department of State.
If your Priority Date is earlier than the Qualifying Date for your visa class and your foreign state chargeability, your Priority Date meets the most recent Qualifying Date and your petition is ready to begin processing at the NVC.
The USCIS typically assigns your immigrant visa petition a Priority Date when you filed it with USCIS. If you are unsure of your Priority Date, you should refer to the Approval Notice that you received from the USCIS.

MANCHESTER, England (AP) — When Manchester United overlooked Jose Mourinho and chose David Moyes to be the successor to Alex Ferguson, the club gambled on a manager without a winning mentality or experience of European soccer — and with no trophies on his resume.
Instead, United went for someone with a track record of loyalty and building a dynasty, as 11 relatively successful years at Everton would attest.
It quickly became apparent, however, that Moyes lacked the gravitas for one of the biggest jobs in club soccer, that he was too satisfied with a mediocre level of performance, that he was in awe of the team rather than ready to rebuild it.
In short, he was a man out of his depth.
Take, for example, the away match at Liverpool, which came three games into the Premier League season. Liverpool won 1-0.
"I thought we played very well" was Moyes' assessment of what most experts found to be a poor display by the reigning champions. With more performances like that, he added, United would surely finish "in or around the top four."
It was to be a recurring theme.
United took Moyes out of Everton, but not the Everton out of Moyes. United great Ryan Giggs will serve as interim player-manager for the remainder of the season pending the hiring of a full-time replacement.
Before United's home match against Liverpool, Moyes declared the visitors to be favorites. "I was surprised," Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers remarked on Moyes' lowered expectations. "I would never say that at Liverpool — even if I was bottom of the league."
What was to prove his last post-match news conference also came on Merseyside, this time at Everton on Sunday. United had just been beaten — actually, dismantled — 2-0 by an energetic, tactically aware Everton side.
"I couldn't fault how we played," said Moyes, wearing his now-customary haunted look. His overall analysis staggered those present and had United fans fuming on social media.
United fans probably saw it coming, though. Moyes admitted on the day he was presented as the new manager that "the blood drained from my face" when he was approached by Ferguson and told he would be the man to take the club forward.
The job and the task of rebuilding an aging team that Ferguson squeezed the best out of proved too much for Moyes.
Convincing Wayne Rooney to commit his future to United was regarded as the most pressing item on his to-do list. That was accomplished. He also successfully established talented winger Adnan Januzaj as a first-team squad member.
On a playing level, he achieved little else.
"Come on David Moyes, play like Fergie's boys" was the chant United fans regaled their new manager with at the start of the season, but that never materialized.
With long balls, ponderous attacking play and a defensive mindset, Moyes' United was incomparable to the teams of the Ferguson era that wowed fans across the world with their adventure and dynamism. Moyes wasn't averse to fielding attacking players — the team just didn't play attacking football.
United looked most comfortable under Moyes in the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinal against Bayern Munich, when it defended deep, relied on spirit and work rate and looked dangerous on the counterattack. It was very much a Moyes-type performance from his Everton days.
By the end of his reign, it looked like the players had lost faith in his methods. Danny Welbeck reportedly wants to quit Old Trafford; Robin van Persie has openly complained about teammates running into his space; Patrice Evra has been poor this season but hardly got off on the right foot with Moyes after the new manager courted fellow left backs Leighton Baines and Fabio Coentrao last summer.
His only offseason purchase, Marouane Fellaini, has been a major disappointment, and Moyes' other big-name recruit, Juan Mata, gave the team yet another No. 10 with Shinji Kagawa and Rooney already there. Often marginalized onto the wing, Mata hasn't had the desired effect yet.
Chastening early season defeats were perhaps to be expected in the new era. But they have just kept on coming — United has lost 10 of its 22 matches in 2014, among them embarrassing losses to Olympiakos, Liverpool, Manchester City and Everton that has sent fans' frustrations beyond tipping point.
And it wasn't just the defeats, it was the manner of them.
There has been no sign of improvement, either, and that's what ultimately turned the tide against Moyes in the board room.

Howerton investigation finds minor violation, no evidence of more serious acts
A yearlong internal investigation of retiring Schaumburg Police Chief Brian Howerton's professional conduct determined he violated village policy but found no evidence of other, more serious allegations made in a complaint by his ex-girlfriend.
The village's Office of Professional Standards found Howerton violated police department rules prohibiting visitors at police facilities for non-duty-related purposes.
In a release of the investigation's findings, corroborating witnesses are cited as evidence that Howerton's estranged ex-girlfriend, Dawn Davis of Schaumburg, was at the police station for non-duty-related reasons while they were dating.
But the investigation didn't find evidence to sustain Davis' claims Howerton stalked and harassed her while on duty and using department resources.
Howerton could not be reached for comment Wednesday.
Davis' attorney, Kaci Holguin, said she and her client disagreed with some of the findings, including the final determination.
Holguin said the village had told them that it particularly difficult to find Howerton in violation of conducting personal business while on duty, as she alleged, because his flexible hours made it so he was never really off duty.
"It seemed ridiculous and backwards to me," Holguin said.
Holguin and Davis also objected to the letter summarizing the findings that characterized some of the accusations as "false," without specifying which ones.
"I think that was a step too far," Holguin said.
She and Davis will explore options for further review of the accusations, stating they don't believe justice has been done, Holguin added.
Schaumburg Village Manager Ken Fritz said he was limited in what he could say about the investigation.
"Normally we don't comment on the investigation or the findings," Fritz said. "The findings and the summary information are based on an extensive investigation and summary of the investigator."
Village officials emphasized that their "not sustained" finding on the allegations should not be interpreted as an exoneration. While there was not enough evidence to sustain a finding village policy had been violated, neither was there enough evidence to clear Howerton.
Davis claimed that Howerton had stalked and harassed her during and after their 18-month relationship, which ended just days before the complaint was filed in March 2012.
In January, the Cook County State's Attorney cleared Howerton of any criminal wrongdoing but also stopped short of exonerating him.
Both Davis and Howerton were notified of the village investigation's findings Wednesday morning.
In a written statement, Fritz said the type of policy violation Howerton was found to have committed would normally result in an oral reprimand.
"We need to hold leadership to a high standard of conduct," Fritz said. "That's why, when we became aware of the allegation, we acted promptly and appropriately to investigate these allegations. Any finding that the chief violated department rules and regulations is troubling.
"His own retirement announcement acknowledged the impact this matter has had on the department," Fritz continued. "We also acknowledge that impact and even though the allegations were not sustained, whether or not Howerton used good judgment during his relationship with Davis as it related to his position of chief could have been the basis for additional disciplinary action.
"However, in light of Howerton's departure, issuing discipline does not advance the department's goals and objectives or assist its new leadership in obtaining these goals."
Howerton will retire Friday after nearly 32 years in the department, the last four as chief. He immediately will be succeeded by Interim Police Chief Kenneth Bouche.
Bouche is a retired Illinois State Police colonel and current chief operating officer of Hillard Heintze, a law enforcement consulting firm now reviewing department operations in the wake of three undercover officers' arrests on drug conspiracy charges in January.
A search for a permanent police chief is ongoing.

MOSCOW (AP) — A Russian security services operative — his features bathed in shadows — went on state television Wednesday to claim that the U.S. diplomat who was ordered out of the country was the second American expelled this year over spying allegations.
The anonymous operative said the CIA had failed to halt this "disturbing activity" despite Moscow asking it to do so.
The TV report came one day after Russia ordered Ryan Fogle, a third secretary at the U.S. Embassy, to leave the country after the Federal Security Service claimed to have caught him red-handed trying to recruit a Russian agent in Moscow. The agency, known by the initials FSB, alleged that Fogle worked for the CIA.
State TV channels showed a man identified as an FSB agent saying that another American was told to leave in January in "another case of recruitment." The anonymous speaker, whose identity as an FSB operative could not be confirmed by The Associated Press, did not give the name of the expelled American.
Various Russian TV networks gave different names for the American, and the FSB refused to clarify the name to The Associated Press. State Department spokesman Patrick Ventrell declined to comment.
The purported FSB agent said that in the January case his agency had decided not to publicize the expulsion, unlike the Fogle case, which has been top news in the Russian media for two days. He said the FSB asked its U.S. counterparts after the January case to halt this "disturbing activity."
The attention given to the Fogle case contrasts with recent moves by Washington and Moscow to develop closer cooperation on counterterrorism in the wake of the Boston Marathon bombing on April 15.
The bombing suspects — Dzhokhar Tsarnaev and his elder brother, Tamerlan, who was killed in a manhunt — have roots in the Russian republic of Chechnya. Tamerlan spent six months last year in Dagestan, now the center of an Islamic insurgency; U.S. investigators have been working with the Russians to try to determine whether he had established any contacts with militants in Dagestan.
Russian officials have played the contrast with both annoyance and magnanimity.
"To put it mildly, it is surprising that this extremely crude, clumsy attempt at recruitment took place in a situation where both President Obama and President Putin have clearly stated the importance of more active cooperation and contacts between the speial services of the two countries," Putin's foreign affairs aide Yuri Ushakov was quoted as saying Wednesday by Russian news agencies.
But Ushakov said counterterrorism cooperation would be among the issues addressed by Security Council head Nikolai Patrushev on a visit to Washington next week, in which he is to present a letter with Putin's response to an Obama message conveyed last month. The letter also is to address missile-defense, a long-standing point of tension between Russia and the United States.
Ushakov said it was unclear if the letter borne by Patrushev would take up the Fogle case.
U.S. Ambassador Michael McFaul was summoned Wednesday to the Russian Foreign Ministry, which said it handed him a formal protest over the incident. McFaul spent about a half-hour at the ministry and left without speaking to journalists.
Ventrell, speaking in Washington, declined to provide any further information on Fogle, beyond confirming that he was named persona non grata by the Russians. He said McFaul met with Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Valentin Ryabkov, but wouldn't say what they spoke about.
McFaul has had a difficult time in Moscow since he took up his post in January 2012. He provoked the ire of Russian officials when one of his first acts was to invite a group of opposition activists and rights advocates to the U.S. Embassy.
Fogle, 29, appeared to be the first American diplomat in Moscow publicly accused of spying in about a decade. State TV showed him being detained briefly, displaying items it said he was carrying, including two wigs, technical gear, a large sum of money and a letter offering millions of dollars for cooperation.
Little is known publicly about Fogle's duties and activities in Russia. The State Department confirmed that Fogle worked as an embassy employee but would give no details about his job. The CIA declined comment.
Fogle is from Clayton, Missouri, near St. Louis. His father is an attorney for the Thompson Coburn firm, one of the largest in St. Louis.
Fogle's family declined interview requests made through a spokeswoman for the law firm.
Phil Harris, 27, of St. Louis, said he has known Fogle for about five years. He described him as a "friend of a friend," but said they had hung out together perhaps five times, most recently when they played poker and went shooting together in December.
"My first reaction was shock," Harris said of learning of Fogle's alleged involvement in spying. "He just seemed like a very normal person to me. It never seemed like he was some kind of secret agent guy."
The Russian Foreign Ministry has ordered Fogle to leave Russia immediately but his exact whereabouts were not known Wednesday. Ventrell wouldn't say if Fogle has left, citing only the "potential for reciprocity."
Despite the end of the Cold War, Russia and the United States still maintain active espionage operations against each other. Last year, several Russians were convicted in separate cases of spying for the U.S. and sentenced to lengthy prison sentences.
Nataliya Vasilyeva in Moscow, Bradley Klapper in Washington and Jim Salter in St. Louis contributed to this report.

Sponsor's Role in Alcohol or Drug RecoverySkip to the navigation
Topic Overview
Your sponsor in a drug or alcohol recovery program helps you stay drug-free or sober. He or she will respect your views and shouldn't force his or her views on you. Your sponsor doesn't have all the answers and doesn't pretend to be right all the time.
Your sponsor is someone who has been in recovery for a long time. You will be able to see how the recovery program has helped him or her and how it can help you.
Your sponsor:
- Helps you stay drug-free and sober. He or she understands your situation and cares about you.
- Helps you when you are thinking about using drugs or drinking again or have had a relapse.
- Shows you what the program has to help you. This can be meetings, brochures, books, and other things. He or she also can help you find more information about drug or alcohol use problems and recovery.
- Encourages you to attend meetings and helps you get to them. He or she will urge you to join in group events and work with other people to help your recovery. Your sponsor will introduce you to other members and help you find common bonds or interests with them.
- Sees that you get more than one idea or view of the program. This can help you keep an open mind about it and see if the program suits you and is working for you. He or she will introduce you to the program's traditions and steps and stress how important they are.
You can find a sponsor by going to a program meeting and asking someone to be your sponsor. Ask someone you feel at ease with and can talk easily with.

After 12 years in Hollywood, Laura Tremaine still calls Oklahoma "home."
Tremaine blogs at www.hollywoodhousewife.com and spoke at the Ardmore Juliette Low Leadership Society Annual Luncheon Wednesday.
After growing up in Madill, graduating high school in Ardmore and graduating from the University of Oklahoma, Tremaine, formerly Laura Windel, headed west.
"I decided to move to LA for no reason. I had never been there, but I was seeking the story in my life," she said.
Once there, she did not have any friends or a job, in addition to the national issue of Sept. 11, 2001.
"It was a hard time to be floundering," Tremaine said.
Eventually, she landed an entry-level job at MTV on the set of "Jackass: The Movie."
"I had never seen the show and didn't know what it was about," she said. "It was potty humor, vulgarity and silly male nudity. I was shocked. Also shocked — my parents."
Yet, it was a job. It was also where she met Jeff Tremaine, the director and eventually her husband.
Tremaine eventually went on to work on other projects, such as the television show "Nanny 911." However, she was gradually becoming disillusioned with television.
"It was 16 hour work days on something I didn't necessarily believe in," she said.
Trying to find her place again, Tremaine started a blog. The project not only allowed her to recognize her calling as a writer, but also allowed the freedom for posts about everything from serious introspection to her favorite mascara.
"I've been able to pursue my dreams," she said. "I have a really strong tradition with my mom and sister. There is so much value in a mentorship program like Girl Scouts. The mentoring of older girls and women shape who you are."
To help aid the next generation of girls, the Ardmore JLLS raised over $30,000 with its second annual luncheon.
"She was fabulous," said Amy Wisian, founding member of Ardmore JLLS, about Tremaine. "It gave us a glimpse of the Hollywood life, and a good time was had by all."
Several local Girl Scouts also attended the event.
"I liked the speaker, and today changed what I thought about Girl Scouts," said Take Two Academy sophomore Leah Southerland.
