COLUMBUS, Ohio - TV personality Jack Hanna says he's shocked Ohio lawmakers haven't yet passed a bill to regulate exotic animals, and he's asking what it will take to get it accomplished.
Efforts to strengthen the state's law took on new urgency in October when authorities were forced to kill 48 wild animals - including endangered Bengal tigers - after their owner freed them from his Zanesville farm and committed suicide.
Hanna says the state isn't facing some "little issue" of exotic animals but rather is facing what he describes as bombs.
Hanna is a former Columbus Zoo director. He spoke Thursday to the Ohio Newspaper Association in Columbus.
Republican state Sen. Troy Balderson of Zanesville had planned to introduce a bill this week but says it's not ready.

Diploma Company Restrictions
Are there any types of products that you will not produce?
We will not print any college products featuring graduate law or medical degrees, state board issued licensees or government issued certifications. This also includes CPA, CPB, CPM, etc.
Do you mail your transcripts inside sealed envelopes?
Even though our custom transcripts will look and feel realistic, we will not send them out with sealed envelopes. All transcripts arrive as they are, unfolded and inside reinforced flat packaging, to protect the document during shipping.
Will you create me a letter of acceptance from my school?
We do not print any letters that state and/or verify that your diploma (from us) is official. We are not a school and therefore can not claim that our products came from an accredited school.
Are there schools that you will not feature on your phony educational documents?
A small number of schools have contacted us and asked us not to print documents from their institute. The list is here.
Do you verify your products?
No, we do not offer fake diploma verification. Yes, there are other sites out there that claim they will verify your fake diploma or transcript, but be careful when dealing with such businesses. If you look closely, you will see that they go through a separate verification company that will only verify what a background check has uncovered. This means that if you never graduated, than the verification will show you never graduated, essentially making the document they create for you worthless. At the end of the day, our goal is to make you a product that looks and feels so realistic, that most people would never second guess it's authenticity or even attempt a verification of it.
Are the signatures on your documents, that of actual school officials?
We do not forge signatures on any documents we produce, under any circumstances. Doing so is forgery and forgery is illegal. In place of real signatures, we use realistic signatures from our own database. These signatures remind most graduates we make custom documents for, of the old signatures they once remembered. Don't believe us? Just place an order and request a proof to preview the realistic signatures we've specifically chosen for your document. You will be pleased.
Are the documents you send, marked as being "FAKE" or "NOVELTY"?
To legally protect our business and to ensure that all customers fully understand the "intended use" of our products and/or services, a removable sticker (to ensure the document can't be permanently damaged because of it) is placed on the back of every document we ship to state that the item(s) you are provided were produced for novelty and/or replacement purposes. By removing the sticker at your own will, you (the buyer) accept full responsibility for any unauthorized actions taken with the document provided by our company, its website, and its staff.
Some websites do not have to add these sticks because their products are not replicas. Nobody would second guess their work. Because we set such high standards, we are forced to add these.
Will you copy a school's seals and emblem 100% on all diplomas and transcripts?
Many school seals and logos are under copyright, meaning that the work belongs to the school or institute itself. Because of this, we will not copy school seals, logos or emblems. In place of this, Diploma Company prints diplomas or transcripts using their own custom seals or non-copyright emblems - with the name of the college, university or high school printed into the seal itself to make the document look and feel more official. See our gallery of recently used diploma seals and emblems.

Hannah Sorensen isn�t literally hitting the beach to play college volleyball, but she is headed outdoors.
Hannah Sorensen isn�t literally hitting the beach to play college volleyball, but she is headed outdoors.
No more florescent lights for the former Dixon High School standout volleyball player. Only the sun and fun of sand volleyball.
The 17-year-old Sorensen is headed to Mercer University to play what she called alternatively �sand or beach� volleyball for the NCAA Division I school in Macon, Ga.
And, yes, she is getting an athletic scholarship, along with a merit-based academic grant-in-aid as well.
So what do her friends think when the effervescent Sorensen tells them of her plans?
�A lot of people don�t think it�s a college sport or haven�t heard of it,� she said. �But it�s definitely growing. The Olympics have a big part in that. People are like, �That sounds really fun. Is that something you can really do in college, for real?��
For real.
In fact, Mercer is one of at least 34 schools, including Florida State, Stanford, UCLA, Nebraska and South Carolina, that have started sand volleyball programs or are scheduled to begin playing the sport by 2014.
So what�s the difference between the indoor variety of the sport and its sand version?
First, five two-man teams compete against each other. Much like tennis, the teams are seeded one through five and the school that wins three of the five doubles matches earns the overall victory.
�It�s really cool,� said Sorensen, who took up the sport about two years ago. �I looked up every college that offered beach volleyball and messaged all of them and made a video and sent it to them.
�So it ended up working out. I just wanted to see because I had no idea if I wanted to explore that option and see if that was something I could even be recruited for.�
Sorensen said she was recruited for indoor volleyball by a number of Division II and III schools, but she said she fell in love with sand volleyball.
�Beach volleyball is a lot harder. Obviously you�re playing in the sand and you only have two people. So you�re making contact on the ball every single time, and it�s really only between you and one other person,� she said.
�So it�s not like you can hide behind a whole team of people. But I like that aspect of it, though, that I�m able to be involved in every play.�
Sorensen said some schools recruit players who have played together in pairs, but �a lot of times people are recruited on their own and once you get to college your coach will pair you with multiple people see what works out best.�
Sorensen, who plans on studying nursing in college, said she had no idea who she�ll be teamed up with at Mercer.

Hours after informing elected officials and neighborhood leaders of an arrest in last week's shooting of Zebadiah Drinkwater near Hampden, Baltimore police said that information was erroneous and no arrests have been made.
Detective Jeremy Silbert, a police spokesman, said officials were still sorting out how the information mistakenly got released to the public. In an email sent just before 1 p.m. Tuesday, Sgt. Ronaldo Morales Jr. of the Northern District Neighborhood Services unit told elected officials and community leaders an arrest had been made "just within the last hour" but did not name a suspect.
The 36-year-old Drinkwater was wounded Aug. 14 in the 4000 block of Roland Avenue, on the border of Hampden and Roland Park. Drinkwater was helping a friend to her car at the time of the shooting, police have said. A website was set up after the assault to help Drinkwater financially. The benefit, called "Help Zeb with bills and stuff," was set up on http://www.gofundme.com, according to friends of Drinkwater.

LANDOVER, Md. – UMBC junior Alisha Beeman (Bridgeport, Conn./Bunnell/Hartford) cleared a new personal-best of 1.71m (5'0.75") in the high jump to break the UMBC school record as the UMBC track and field team competed at the Terrapin Invitational at the Prince George's Sports and Learning Complex.
Beeman's jump broke the previous school mark of 1.70m (5'7.25") set byChowan Brightful during the 2011-12 season and qualifies the junior for the ECAC Championships to be held in March. She was just one of multiple Retriever athletes to set new personal-bests on Saturday as much of the men's team competed at the Navy Invitational in Annapolis, Md.
Also in Landover, sophomore Nneoma Edokobi (Rockville, Md./Richard Montgomery) set a new personal-best in the weight throw, registering a heave of 15.26m (50'0.75").
Junior Paulette Fogle (Washington, D.C./Bishop McNamara) nudged her personal-best time in the 60m hurdles down to 9.27. Fogle also led a trio of Retrievers in the top-five in the 400m run, taking third with senior Deborah Adelola (Lanham, Md./Bladensburg) and junior Kalane' Abbey (Laurel, Md./Laurel) just behind.
Classmate Mercedes Jackson (Huntingtown, Md./Huntingtown) was once again the star in the 60m dash, cruising to victory with a finals time of 7.57, after leading the pack in the prelims with the same time. Sophomore D'Nique Phillip (Elkton, Md./North East) and senior Kirsten Jones (Brentwood, Tenn./M.L.K. Magnet) also advanced to the finals in the event, placing third and seventh, respectively. Jones also finished second in the 300m dash with a time of 40.79.
Adelola, Jones, and Abbey also combined with junior Briana Young (Bowie, Md./Elizabeth Seton) to best the field in the 4x400 relay, finishing with a time of 3:51.84, under the ECAC standard.
In the 200m dash, freshmen Mercedes Tillman (Waldorf, Md./North Point) and Nailah Johnson (Capitol Heights, Md./Friendly) finished third (26.31) and tenth (27.19).
For the men, senior Tom Eldridge (Rocky River, Ohio/Rocky River) took top honors in the 5,000m run with a time of 15:27.51. Classmate Vinny DiSalvo (Washingtonville, N.Y./Washingtonville) was the second across the line (15:34.00), giving UMBC a one-two finish.
Much of the UMBC men's squad competed at the Navy Invitational where the distance crew shined. SeniorsAndrew Smith (Chadds Ford, Pa./Garnet Valley) and Jake Albino (Hampton, N.Y./Minisink Valley) finished one-two in the 1,000m run, both qualifying for the IC4A Championships. Smith missed out on the school record in the event by .02, crossing the line at the 2:25.60 mark. Albino, meanwhile, now sits third in the school record book with his time of 2:26.27.
In the one-mile run, freshman Jon Luckin (Parkton, Md./Hereford) and sophomore Pat Anske (Sykesville, Md./Century) took second (4:22.98) and fourth (4:26.91), respectively.
Senior Sean Cooper (Waldorf, Md./North Point/Delaware State) matched Jackson in winning the men's 60m dash. After leading the preliminary round (7.07), Cooper trimmed his time to 7.06 to capture the event. He also finished second in the 200m, crossing the line at 22.62.
In the pole vault, senior Liam Stott (Carrboro, N.C./Chapel Hill) matched his career-best by clearing 4.35m (14'3.25").
The Retrievers will hit the track again next week with athletes competing at the NYC Team Challenge and the Patriot Games.

This e-Anatomy module concerns the gross anatomy of the digestive system. We have especially focused on the diagrams of the abdominal digestive system (oesophagus is described in the modules on the thorax and oral cavity/pharynx described in ENT modules).
83 anatomical diagrams and histological images are displayed with over 300 labeled anatomical parts.
This digestive anatomy tool is especially designed for students of medicine and paramedical studies.
All the anatomical illustrations are original and produced by Dr. Antoine Micheau. They were drawn in Photoshop or Illustrator using 3D modelling derived from medical imaging (principally abdominal scan).
The anatomical drawings are organised in a fairly classical manner so as to be easily usable as a standard anatomical atlas. The user navigates between different groups of images using the "Illustrations" tab:
Liver: a first diagram represents the nomenclature of parts, divisions and liver segments. The following diagram summarises the venous, arterial and biliary systems of the liver. Illustrations of the hepatic anatomy next show the different faces of the liver (visceral, diaphragmatic...) and the hepatic pedicle. Hepatic segmentation is then detailed summary in two recapitulative diagrams. Finally photos and diagrams resume liver histology.
125 anatomical structures of the digestive system have been labelled. The legends are grouped into subcategories, displayable or maskable as required via the "anatomical structures" tab:
• Aesophagus
• Stomach
• Small intestine: duodenum, jejunum and ileum
• Large intestine: colon, cecum, rectum, anal canal
• Liver: gross and microscopic anatomy, histology, hepatic segmentation
• Biliary tract: gall bladder, principal bile duct, hepatic duct, common bile duct
• Pancreas: external morphology, pancreatic duct, hepatopancreatic ampulla
• Spleen: gross anatomy, histology
• Peritoneum: parietal and visceral peritoneum, mesenteries, transverse mesocolon, mesentery
• Recesses, pits and folds: omental bursa, paracolic fissures (parietocolic grooves), rectovesical escavation (Douglas)
• Arteries: branches of the abdominal aorta destined for the digestive system (celiac artery, superior and inferior mesenteric arteries)
• Veins: different tributaries of the hepatic portal system vein (splenic vein, superior and inferior mesenteric vein, hepatic portal vein)
• Lymph nodes: celiac lymphatic ganglions, inferior and superior mesenteric veins
• Nerves: nerve plexus and autonomic intestinal nervous system
• Other structures: diaphragm, genital and urinary systems.
We have used the Terminologia Anatomica to caption for all the anatomical structures, with translations into English, French, Japanese, German, Chinese, Portuguese, Russian, Czech and Spanish.

Red Rock Canyon trail starts at km 703 of the Alaska Highway in Muncho Lake Park. . There is an alluvial fan where the creek flows down under the road towards the lake. The water may not even be visible because it disappears under the rocks. There isn't a visible trail, just follow the creek. There is a waterfall about 3 km in and beautiful red and gold conglomerate rock on the way in.

It is important to make sure that you are
aware of what medical care you are entitled to receive and how you are to
receive it. Remember, the doctors who treat your medical condition will also
make decisions about whether or not you are entitled to further disability and
indemnity benefits. The treating physician and primary care doctor is very
important to your case. Your primary treating physician is the one who can
prescribe medication, refer you to other physicians, take you off work or
return you to light-duty work, or order whatever medical necessary care is
It is important that you give each and
every doctor you see an accurate history of your injury and the facts
surrounding the accident or injury on your initial visit. Be sure to give a
complete and accurate history of any prior related medical condition that the
doctor asks about. You should do this if you suspect that the information may
be used to show that your present medical problems are due to previous
A treating doctor may affect your case in
several ways. The most important is that a treating doctor will decide whether
your injury or symptoms occurred on the job based on the history you give them
and their examination. Next, the treating doctor has the power to say whether
you need any further treatment or should stay off your work or need to see
specialists. Also, your treating doctor, whether it is your initial primary
care physician, or other specialist, determines whether or not you have a
permanent condition or whether you can return to work.
Disputes in this regard can occur because
you may not agree with the physician or you may not just like the physician.
When this occurs you are entitled to a second opinion.
The treating physician is required to send
written reports to the insurance company to keep it apprised of your condition
and prognosis. They are required to file a report and thereafter give periodic
medical reports concerning your condition.

Kathy Wickline's Story
Empowering Students and Teachers with RWT
After nineteen years of teaching high school English and German, I switched to position of media specialist at a middle school. I thought I would be simply spreading my love of reading with this age group. Instead, I discovered that my position enabled me to work with other teachers to create lessons that combined reading, writing, and technology. ReadWriteThink is the perfect place to begin our search for these lessons. Through this cooperation between classroom teacher and media specialist, teachers are more willing to try out new technologies such as Glogster, Animoto, Voki and Farcebook. Additionally, this planning sometimes introduces teachers to the numerous resources that ReadWriteThink has for all areas of the school curriculum. ReadWriteThink is a valuable aid in planning these interesting student-centered lessons.
When looking for a new technology medium to engage students, we always examine the Teaching with Technology Strategy Guides. These are extremely helpful to avoid the pitfalls of applying a new technology practice in the classroom. Also, we examine the student interactives, especially the ones that students can save their projects to return to edit such as the Trading Card Creator. These ready-made templates, such as the Acrostic Poems and Plot Diagram, save valuable planning time, but more importantly appeal to todays students who enjoy working with computers.
However, who has really benefited from these cooperative planned lessons has been the students. When we learn a new Web 2.0 tool, the most frequent question is Can we make these on own at home? There is no better endorsement for using these new technologies and no better evaluation of student engagement than those simple words. Furthermore, these reactions have empowered teachers to join me as we learn more technology skills to share and teach our students, whose futures rely heavily on being computer literate.

Currently I am a librarian/ media specialist at a rural middle school. This position allows me to combine my love of reading with my interest in technology. I am hoping to instill the love of reading in my students and my grandchildren. Also, I enjoy traveling, especially to places of historical significance such as Civil War battlefields.

January 2005 - Newsletter 78
Memory Lane
At this moment in time all our thoughts are with the people of Sri Lanka, Thailand, The Maldives and India and all those in nearby countries that have been affected by the earthquake in the Indian Ocean and the resultant tsunami. I put Sri Lanka first because I have some wonderful memories of our tours there back in 1983 and 84. The welcome we received wherever we went was wonderful. I can remember the students at the university in Jaffna turning out to give us a demonstration of their dancing and music at midday in the blazing heat. This was completely off the cuff and was certainly beyond the call of duty because they sweated buckets. Also this is Tamil Tiger country and the troubles were just beginning. They had much bigger things to worry about than an itinerant band of Dorset musicians.
Our driver, Pereira, drove our Ford Transit minibus like a Grand Prix car, which was great fun most of the time. There was just the odd elephant in the road he had to dodge around. Well, you might be able to get between their legs in a mini but with a Transit it's not easy. All three of us can do a very good imitation of our other guide who was a very nervous passenger. Her cry was always, 'Slow down Pereira, slow down!' I must admit to feeling very guilty at one time when he managed to clip the side of a fruit stall and scatter it's contents all over the road.
Sri Lanka is a very beautiful island and it is absolutely tragic that its people should have suffered so much for so long. Maybe, just maybe this terrible communal suffering will bring north and south closer together.
Many thanks to those who bought raffle tickets at our New Year Party. We managed to raise £450 for the disaster appeal.
Old Yetties LPs
My stock of these turns over at a high rate of knots and Halsway Manor Library benefits from the cash raised. If you have any you wish to pass on to good homes or would like to purchase some please ring 01935 814611. At this moment in time I have copies of In Concert, Dorset is Beautiful, The Yetties of Yetminster, Dorset Style, The Yetties, Up In Arms, Our Friends The Yetties, All At Sea, The World of The Yetties, Focus On The Yetties (double album), Up Market, A Little Bit of Dorset, The Sound of Cricket (with John Arlott) and A Proper Job. Cynthia and I are spending some time in the library refurbishing the books, putting all the information on computer and generally making the place more user friendly. In the end we hope to have a multi-media library with all the LPs, tapes, CDs etc listed on the computer as well as the books. I think we have an endless task ahead. A chap from Southampton has just pledged us 2000 tapes of folk music in his will. Anyone want a job?
New Recording
I am repeatedly reminded by customers of our little travelling supermarket that a new CD is long overdue so we will be doing something about this in the spring. As soon as the winter break is over (this means recovering from the excesses of New Year) we will be meeting to discuss songs and music for the recording. If all goes according to plan by mid-summer it should all be finished and on sale. I think I'll adapt 'Dorset is Beautiful' for this one. The words will go something like this:
Pensions are beautiful wherever you go
And heating allowances make yer hands and toes glow
I'm not sure how many long playing recordings we have made in our careers but this one is going to be number 40 something. We have used studios all over the place, particularly when recording for the Decca/Argo set up. One time they shipped us off to the Lake District to The Theatre in The Forest at Grisedale, which was one of our regular venues for concerts at the time. We realised as the weekend rolled on that half Decca were using it as a free couple of days in the countryside. Goodness knows what the bill for the recording was but not long after the company went to the wall. It wasn't our fault, honest. Another time they sent us down to Eastbourne to a Studio that was used mostly by religious groups. There was a swear box on hand for any who used unchristian terminology and all I can say is I hope Pete's donations were put to a good cause. The powers that be from Decca turned up one day to see what we were up to. Well, the answer was we were out on the putting green while our producer, who didn't think we should be too taxed, fiddled about in the studio. We had great fun though. It was the first time we recorded 'The Juggernaut' and I can remember hurtling down this little lane near the studio in our estate car and slamming the brakes on to try to make the tyres squeal in proper car chase style. I can remember thinking then, 'If this is work, I'll take it any time' and I still feel much the same.
Decca, in some ways, were very good to us over the years but they did have some funny ideas. They would release singles of our songs without telling us. Some of them did OK so we did find out when they got radio plays but others obviously sank without trace. When we made the 'All Over Dorset' video we went to the 'Punch & Judy Museum' in Shaftesbury and there, on one of the shelves, much to our surprise, Mac spotted a Decca single of 'The Punch & Judy Man' which they must have sneaked out 25 or so years ago. It's a bit worrying mind you when you find yourselves on display in a museum. I'm not sure I'm quite ready for that yet.
Along The River Frome Part 2
I know this project has taken forever and there are some very frustrated customers out there but if it is frustrating for you just think how we feel. Co-ordinating the filming and the interviews have proved to be a nightmare but we are finally into the editing. In fact we are two-thirds of the way through that. Then comes the script and the finishing touches, printing etc. When the BBC etc. make programmes they write the script first but that limits you. We, being such a small team, can be much more adaptable and change things as we go. Some research is obviously done before the filming but it is amazing what you can find on the spur of the moment. We have the usual mix of interviews, beautiful Dorset countryside, aerial shots, flowers and beasties including conservation minded pike and an enormous salmon.
We have not been completely idle though. Stour 1 and 2 and Frome 1 are now on DVD and, of course, Frome 2 will be on both formats when it is released (hopefully in early spring).
Yetminster Fair
For all you Yetminster Fair addicts tis all very much the same as last year. Sunshine, ice creams, bargains galore and thousands of people descending on the village to create a great atmosphere. Your contact if you wish to find out about camping etc. or to buy tickets for the 8p.m. Yetties concert in the marquee is Derek Mott, Stonechat, High Street, Yetminster, Sherborne, Dorset, DT9 6LF. Tel. 01935 872123. The staff of Sherborne Tourist Information are also on hand if you wish to book accommodation in the area. They are always very helpful and can be contacted on 01935 815341.

Lebanon in Peril
The summer and fall of 2006 was good to those who oppose reform in Lebanon. Hezbollah survived a war against Israel and the Republican Party, seen as a strong opponent of Hezbollah and its backer Iran, lost the midterm elections.
So the those who wish to challenge the recent move to free Lebanon from Syria/Iran/Hezbollah's influence are under siege. At the forefront is Hezbollah's effort to stage a "democratic coup" in which the government steps down and all investigation into the Syrian murder of former PM Rafiq Hariri stopped. Hezbollah currently controls the southern part of Lebanon and is being protected by the United Nations which refuses to follow its own resolution and disarm the terror group.
Not to be outdone by the tri-Shia alliance, al Qaeda is opening up shop in Lebanon. al Qaeda has promised to overthrow the Lebanese government and fight Hezbollah at the same time. As it has proven in Iraq, al Qaeda does not need to be big or have major support to wreck havoc.
So here is the game board: the Christians, Sunnis, and Druze for the most part want to move beyond the civil war to make Lebanon better off. The Shia are being led into another war by Iran and Syria. Foreign, Wahhabized Sunnis want to expand the Afghanistan/Israel/Iraq jihad.
If any of these players makes a "wrong" move expect the United States, Europe, United Nations, and Israel to get involved. Israel has learned that a remote, soft war does not work and would likely go in full force. The United States would probably send in a strike force or two to conduct raids. The United Nations will be paralyzed due to Russian and Chinese interference.
Welcome to the twenty-first century!

America News media wants to make it look like an anti Christian killing by referring the killing of Lebanon Cabinet minister Pierre Gemayel as an anti Christian and anti Syrian motivated killing.
Why? Make the killing look like America has no reason to do the killing.
America and Israel have the most to gain by keeping the Middle East fighting among themselves.
Israel gains because their enemy's can't organize against Israel and America gains because it allows America to justify it's staying in the Middle East thus steal more oil.
Read the book:

Or could the killings be done by the country with the track record. Sorry your anti-American theory doesn't work out....
- Andrew said...
Either way, I think everyone is at fault in this situation, you cant just scapegoat one section of people and say they are at fault. I disagree with both of you, I dont think Americans want to stir up the middle east, but I also dont think we can blame every misdeed on Hezbollah. That kind of thinking distorts our own logic.

Now that the Mortal Kombat: Legacy webseries has become a huge hit, and the latest MK game has sold 3 million copies, Warner Bros. and New Line have greenlit a new Mortal Kombat film — which everybody is helping will make you forget the 1990s outings.
Kevin Tancharoen, who created the original Internet-breaking Mortal Kombat YouTube short as well as the Legacy webseries, has been tasked with directing this new movie — which won't necessarily tie in with the digital stuff he's created so far, or feature the same actors. But Tancharoen, talking to Entertainment Weekly, does promise it'll be insane and violent:
Up to this point, we've only been talking 'rated R.' I like realistic takes on things, I like it when it's a little darker and grittier. And I want the martial arts to feel real as opposed to balletic and super-choreographed. It needs to feel brutal, because that's the nature of the video game itself.
Hopefully that means lots of one-handed decapitations are in our future. Can't wait! [EW]

Business Journal announces Newsmaker nominees
The pace of economic activity in 2010 was driven by diligent endeavors of public-private cooperation, surges in industry growth that included the burgeoning medical sector and emerging manufacturing technologies, and expansions.
Grand Rapids Business Journal staff culled the top 10 Newsmakers of 2010, but many stood out in another transitional year in the local marketplace.
The annual Grand Rapids Business Journal Newsmaker of the Year will be announced at an Economic Club of Grand Rapids luncheon Feb. 7. The 10 nominees listed below in alphabetical order rose above nearly 40 others, nominated on the basis of long-term economic impact in West Michigan.
The second year of ArtPrize brought 1,713 artists from around the world to Grand Rapids, eliciting the participation of 465,000 "voters" through social media who picked the top 10 winners of the $449,000 in prize money. The 2010 event is expected to exceed 2009 estimates of 200,000 visitors and economic impact of $7.6 million.
Anecdotal evidence from ArtPrize venues, downtown retailers and restaurant operators indicated strong surges in business, with downtown merchants getting on board to serve as venues, extending hours and holding special events related to the competition. The arts community pointed to increased recognition of the cultural value of the arts to the area.
Chemical Bank
Chemical Financial Co., a holding company for Chemical Bank, closed its acquisition of O.A.K. Financial Corp., the holding company for Byron Bank, in an all-stock transaction. The acquisition added 14 West Michigan branches to Chemical Bank and approximately $438 million in the bank's core deposit base, moving Chemical Bank from the 16th largest institution in the Grand Rapids area to the sixth.
Proof of the purchase impact was on display in Chemical Financial Corp.'s market performance. The company posted third-quarter net income of $8.9 million, or 32 cents per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2010, contrasted to $2.5 million, or 10 cents per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2009. Net income was $15.6 million, or 60 cents per diluted share, for the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2010, compared to $7.5 million, or 31 cents per diluted share, for the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2009.
Elan Nutrition
The Kentwood-based manufacturer of snack and nutrition bars was acquired by food giant ConAgra, which moved some operations from Texas to Kentwood and is investing $73 million in plant expansion and creating more than 200 new jobs. The upgrade of the Elan facility at 4490 44th St. includes the purchase of new equipment and machinery and will allow ConAgra Foods to expand its manufacturing capacity and R&D capabilities.
The Right Place Inc. collaborated with the Michigan Economic Development Corp. and the city of Kentwood, arranging an incentive package valued at approximately $9 million to support ConAgra's added investment in Kentwood. ConAgra Foods employs more than 500 throughout Michigan. "Food processing continues to be one of our strongest industry clusters," noted Right Place President Birgit Klohs.
Ferris /Kendall expansion
The former Federal Building, which also served as the home of the Grand Rapids Art Museum until its new home was constructed, will see a $28.5 million renovation as part of the Ferris State University/ Kendall College of Art & Design campus expansion and additional degree programs including architecture.
Christman Capital Investment Group is renovating and investing in the property at 148 Ionia Ave. NW. Christman Capital plans to invest $28 million into the project. Most of the cost will be financed by $25 million worth of Recovery Zone Facility Bonds made available by Congress through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Kent County and the city each allocated $12.5 million of their RZF bond allotments to the project. Ferris and Kendall also are pursuing philanthropic support for the project.
The extensive renovation project will rehab a building central to the downtown business and education structure, providing a living-learning-educational setting within the central business district. Announcement of the project capped years of effort from education leaders and public sector representatives.
Gentex Corp.
Gentex Corp. purchased the 108,000-square-foot former Invensys Controls plant in Holland for increased production capacity, buoyed by the possible federal effort to mandate rear-view mirror sensor technology on all vehicles. Gentex is seeking to fill about 140 manufacturing positions and nearly 100 engineering and software jobs in highly specialized disciplines.
A quicker recovery of the auto industry than had been expected led Gentex to expand into additional manufacturing and R&D space, along with ramping up its hiring of both hourly production workers and R&D professionals.
Third quarter 2010 sales of its rear-view mirror camera display and auto-dimming headlight controls for automakers around the world marked the company's all-time record revenue for a quarter, 33 percent more than the same period in 2009. Gentex had 2,800 employees in Zeeland in the summer of 2008; the crash of the worldwide auto industry meant that by December of that year, employment was down to 2,100 — the company's first mass layoff. Earlier in 2010, however, Gentex announced it needed to add from 250 to 300 employees by 2011, including 100 electrical and software engineers.
Kent County Recycling & Education Center
The new $12 million single-stream recycling facility sorts 144 tons of trash daily, and the project was under budget by $400,000. The city of Grand Rapids, cited with a Siemens Sustainable Community Award, was a partner in the project.
The new center has changed the manner in which materials are processed. Neither residents nor the pick-up drivers in local communities need to separate the recyclables.
The new center's educational element enables the Kent County Public Works personnel to demonstrate to students and adults what qualifies as trash and what types can be reused, recycled or composted. The center also informs residents as to how they can reduce the amount of trash they create.
LG Chem Ltd.
The CEO of the Korean chemical and rechargeable battery maker was in Holland to break ground on its $303 million facility to manufacture lithium-ion batteries, the same week Ford Motor Co. and Eaton Corp. announced orders for the plant product.
President Barack Obama also visited Holland for the groundbreaking for the 650,000-square-foot plant, which will be occupied by LG Chem's wholly owned Michigan subsidiary, Compact Power Inc. of Troy, and is already scheduled to supply battery cells for the Chevrolet Volt electric car.
Compact Power is investing $151 million in the plant, along with a matching grant it received from the U.S. Department of Energy under the Recovery Act Award for Electric Drive Vehicle Battery and Component Manufacturing Initiative.
A White House announcement during the groundbreaking indicated that the plant is expected to employ about 450 people by 2013. LG Chem expects the plant to be fully operational by 2012.
Spectrum Health
The health care giant in West Michigan began its new heart and lung program, completed a Blodgett Hospital renovation, closed 2010 by opening the new Helen DeVos Children's Hospital, and completed hospital mergers and acquisitions from Zeeland to Petoskey while acquiring MMPC and West Michigan Heart.
Spectrum secured affiliations with Gerber Memorial Health Services, Fremont; Mecosta County Medical Center, Big Rapids; and Northern Michigan Regional Health System, which is based in Petoskey but reaches as far as Mackinac Island.
Spectrum Health also affiliates with community hospitals in Greenville, Kelsey and Reed City in addition to Blodgett and Butterworth hospitals and their related facilities in Grand Rapids.
The health system has 16,000 employees and is the largest employer in Kent County.
Urban market
Grand Action joined with the Grand Rapids Downtown Development Authority to create a $27 million urban market. The economic multiplier for the project, which has garnered private sector support and state and local government financing considerations, is anticipated to be significant.
Grand Action Committee co-chairmen David Frey and John Canepa said there is enough community support to build the year-round, indoor-outdoor downtown market that would not only sell fresh and locally grown products but also offer consumers a variety of other goods ranging from wine to books.
Enthusiasm for the project emerged from a feasibility study Grand Action commissioned. That study conducted by Market Ventures Inc. of Portland, Maine, said a successful market would deliver $775 million to the local economy over 10 years and create nearly 1,300 new jobs, including the construction employment. It is estimated that $20 million in food sales could take place at the market annually. The location for the market is targeted for land owned by the Downtown Development Authority on Ionia Avenue near Wealthy Street.
Whirlpool Corp.
The global company became a major player in the opening of Harbor Shores resort in St. Joseph-Benton Harbor and cemented its West Michigan presence even further when it announced plans to build a $68 million new office campus along the St. Joseph River in downtown Benton Harbor as part of a consolidation of its 15 owned and leased facilities. Overall improvements amounted to $85 million in one of West Michigan's most depressed areas.
The project provides the $17 billion global home appliance manufacturer with three office campuses in its hometown area. The construction project received local and state incentives and will leave the $17 billion home-appliance manufacturer with three office campuses in its hometown area: the existing Benton Harbor Administrative Center and St. Joseph Technology Center, plus a new three-building complex on Main Street in Benton Harbor. The company also plans to retain its Hilltop Drive South offices in St. Joseph and the Harbor Town offices in Benton Harbor.
The company has more than 4,000 employees in its Twin Cities facilities. The West Michigan expansion is seen as a preservation of that job base for a company that has 67,000 employees worldwide and 67 manufacturing and tech research centers around the globe.

So, the rumors weren't true…Blake Lively can't attend the Chanel Fall/Winter 2011 Ready-to-Wear show in Paris because of a scheduling conflict with the Gossip Girl shooting schedule – not because she thinks celebrities shouldn't sit front row. Whew!
Since she couldn't make it to the show, Blake Lively hosted a dinner in Paris at the Chanel couture salon, complete with performance by Florence Welch of Florence and the Machine. A pink rose décor and three course meal by a two-star Michelin chef set the scene for the who's who of fashion elite including Lou Doillon, Karen Elson, Anna Wintour and her daughter Bee Shaffer, Julia Restoin Roitfeld, Chanel spokespeople Anna Mouglalis (bags, fine jewelry and watches), Elisa Sednaoui (glasses) and Chanel's brand ambassadors Leigh Lezark, Caroline Sieber.
It sounds like it was a lovely event. Dear Chanel, please bring on some blog ambassadors and please let moi be one!

Design Tips
Designing a new look for your home can be daunting. There are so many choices, themes and colors. Some are too boring, too clean, too cluttered, too daring and just not you. Learn how to create a fresh new look that fits with your lifestyle and reflects your personality.
Watch these videos for tips to make your home more appealing:
Designing a Functional Nursery
Designing a Luxury Bedroom
A Work of Art
Before you start planning the design of your room, decide whether your floor will be the art or a backdrop. While a neutral carpet or floor can make a great canvas for bold furnishings and accessories, abright color or pattern combined with simple furniture can transform your floor into the star of your room.
Adding tile to a small room? Match the grout color as closely as possible to the tile color to make the room look bigger.
Focus on the Floor
An area rug can make a bold statement in an otherwise neutral room – don't be afraid to try out bright color or bold patterns. And, when possible, start your room with a rug, then decorate around it.
A Welcoming Touch
If you're having company that will be staying in a guest bedroom, add an extra-special, personal touch with a vase of fresh flowers. Your guests will be surprised and impressed by your thoughtfulness.
Create Sunshine
Just as carpet in shades of yellow or orange can create the illusion of sunlight in an otherwise dark space, you can brighten your room with a lighter wood or laminate floor to reflect light and make it seem more spacious.
Au Naturel
Furniture and accents made from natural materials, such as rattan, sisal, and seagrass, pair well with similar color wood flooring for a rustic look.
Get Creative With Tile
Just as carpet in shades of yellow or orange can create the illusion of sunlight in an otherwise dark space, you can brighten your room with a lighter wood or laminate floor to reflect light and make it seem more spacious.
A Rainbow of Pillows
To add a pop of color to any room, throw pillows are all you need! Don't be afraid to try out interesting textures and patterns – pillows are the perfect way to create a fun and unique look.
Listen to Your Heart
Don't be afraid to try your favorite color on the 5th wall of your room – your floor! You can balance even the boldest shades with lighter color furniture and paint. Bright yellows, oranges and reds can warm a room that lacks natural light, while cool blues and greens can add a serene feeling to sunny rooms.
Mix It Up
Love your ultra-modern kitchen and state-of-the-art stainless steel appliances? You can still achieve a feeling of warmth underfoot – try a traditional, earth-tone tile or rich, dark hardwood.
Play with Shape
Look for furniture and accessories with squared edges to complement a tile floor.
Be an Original
If you're looking for that one-of-a-kind look, try hand-scraped or hand-polished hardwood. The hand work means your floor will truly be unique.
Mirror, Mirror
A very easy trick to making a room seem larger and brighter is to hang a mirror on the wall. By placing it opposite a window you can create the illusion of a second outdoor view.
A Dreamy Bedroom
A beautiful comforter or quilt can be all you need to create the perfect bedroom. Angle the bed into the room to make it the focal point – and save a little space too!
Cozy Up to Dark Tones
Rich hardwood and laminate tones, and dark color carpets can add drama to larger rooms, giving them a warmer and more intimate feel.
Choose the Right Rug
Area rugs or carpet with large patterns can make
larger rooms seem more cozy, but will overwhelm a smaller space. For smaller areas, try a solid color or minimal pattern.
Create a Room with a (Bigger) View
Covering your windows with curtains can drastically limit their impact on your space. Instead, choose a curtain rod that extends past the edges of your window, so that when the curtains are open, the whole window is visible. This will let in more light and make your room appear larger.
Walk the (Right) Plank
Choose a hardwood or laminate plank width that is relative to the size of your room. For instance, you can make a smallish room look more spacious with a narrower plank; while wider planks can help to ground a large room.
Make a Turn for the Better
By installing hardwood, laminate or tile floors on the diagonal, you can create the illusion of a larger room, while adding visual interest to your floor.
Go Wild
Add character to an otherwise neutral room with a bold accent pattern – like zebra or leopard print. Whether it's an area rug, throw pillow, chair, or curtains, it's sure to get attention.
Go Big
A big wall can be a challenge to decorate. For a
quick and beautiful fix, look for a large-scale mirror, or other art or décor piece that will make a statement in your room.
Think Outside the Brown
Get creative with hardwood (and wood-look laminate). Add drama to your room with a gray, black, or white color wood.
Make a New Room with a Rug
Large, shapeless rooms (like many basements) can benefit from an area rug or two. Use rugs to define a living space – group furniture together around a rug to make a cozy meeting place.

ROCHESTER — When it comes to violence at home, children can often become victims, and state Rep. Julie Brown hopes someday domestic violence will vanish from society.
In her past 24 years in the House of Representatives, Brown has strived to speak up for children, who she says often don't have a voice.
Earlier this month, she was among those recognized for going above and beyond to end domestic and sexual violence. Brown was among five people who were inducted into the N.H. Coalition Against Domestic and Sexual Violence Hall of Fame on Nov. 8.
Others inducted in the hall of fame included U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen; Pamela Dodge, coordinator of N.H. Bar Association's Pro Bono Referral Program's Domestic Violence Emergency Project (DOVE); Debra Hastings, co-founder of New Beginnings in Laconia; and John Tobin, executive director of N.H. Legal Assistance.
It was at the coalition's third annual hall of fame luncheon that Brown was awarded for her work throughout the years. Brown said she was glad to be surrounded by a "fantastic group of people" also being awarded.
"I was honored that I was considered for this award," said Brown on Tuesday. "I was thrilled to get the honor, I was thrilled at how beautiful of an award that they gave."
For her entire time in the House of Representatives, Brown has served on the Children and Family Law Committee, working on issues relating to child support, child abuse and neglect, and sexual abuse of children.
Brown said she has always shown strong support for the Coalition Against Domestic and Sexual Violence, and was always ready to testify on behalf of children, the most vulnerable population.
In her time in the Legislature, Brown has met children who have been abused, or who have witnessed domestic violence. What has struck her, she said, is "how hurt they are because they couldn't do anything."
"They're in the middle of it ... and they're little and they can't do anything about it."
She said the harmful effects of such violence can be long-lasting.
"They suffer long term, it stays with them, and it stays forever," said Brown. "It puts a blight on their life."
Brown said her advice for children who are victims of domestic violence is to speak with a trusted adult — whether it's a policeman or a teacher at school.
"If I help in any small way I'm happy to do it," said Brown.
Brown, 77, has four grown children and seven grandchildren.
She is a supporter of Youth Reach, a nonprofit group that aids homeless youth, and was also recently elected vice chairwoman of the Strafford County Meals on Wheels program.
Brown, who was not re-elected to the state representative position this year, will not be running again for office, she said Tuesday.
"We need to get young people involved," she said.
Shaheen, who was the keynote speaker at the Nov. 8 luncheon, had been a longtime advocate for the rights of victims and survivors of domestic and sexual violence. As governor, she created the Domestic Violence Fatality Review Committee in 1999. In 1997, she announced the state's commitment to a major initiative designed to improve the way the health care system responds to domestic violence. New Hampshire was one of only 10 states chosen to work on this national health initiative that provided an opportunity for the creation of an education and training program.
In 2000, Shaheen launched the Corporate Citizens Initiative to help businesses recognize signs of domestic violence and offer meaningful support to employees who are experiencing it. This past year as a U.S. Senator, she urged her colleagues to support the reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) with full protective provisions in place.

Rodgers: We will fight for title
Less than 24 hours after conceding the Premier League title Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers promised the team would "fight for their lives as you never know what can happen".
After the damaging 3-3 draw at Crystal Palace the Northern Irishman suggested that the championship was destined for Manchester City.
The Reds are still top of the league but Manuel Pellegrini's side are only a point behind, with two matches still to play and a superior goal difference.
But speaking to a captive audience at the club's inaugural awards night, the Reds boss suggested there was still a glimmer of hope ahead of Sunday's match against Newcastle.
"This season the players have allowed the supporters to dream and for a club of this size and magnitude - to be a point ahead at the top of the table with a week to go, you never know what can happen - it has been magnificent," he said.
"I promise for the time I am here we will fight for our lives and we won't finish until Newcastle."
Rodgers, who received a standing ovation from his players after winning an outstanding achievement award less than two years into his tenure, maintained there were still positives to take from the season.
He added: "Monday night was difficult. If you were in the changing room you would have felt how much it mattered to everyone.
"The key thing to remember is the journey we are on is going to have good and bad times but through it all we have to stick together as that is the Liverpool way.
"We will finish the season strong and keep going to strive to be the best."
Striker Luis Suarez, already a two-time player of the year after winning the Professional Footballers' Association and Football Writers' award, won the goal of the season, players' player of the year and player of the year, voted for by fans.
"He has thoroughly deserved it. As a team they have been outstanding but he has been absolutely phenomenal," added Rodgers.
"The great thing about Luis Suarez is his professionalism. To play the games he plays to the level he plays takes huge professionalism.
"I am delighted for him."
Captain Steven Gerrard believes Suarez is the man who will ensure a successful future for the club.
"Luis seems to be cleaning up at the moment, he's won everything, and we are lucky to have such a world-class talent like Luis playing here with us and helping us to great things and be successful," said the England captain.
"He is out there by a big distance (as the best player he has played with) and that is no disrespect to all the players I've played with, there has been some top talent for club and country, but this fella can do the lot, he is different to most footballers.
"I don't have to mention his talent, you can see it out there, and he is a winner who is doesn't give up.
"There is some disappointment looming around but if this fella stays around for a few more years I think there will be some really big nights."

Mod Rock
The prime of British mod rock was very short-almost all of the key records were made in 1965 and 1966. Only two pure "mod" groups, the Who and Small Faces, could be said to have had substantial commercial and artistic impact. And even then, this impact was largely limited to Britain at the time; not only that, by the time they'd been recording for a couple of years, each of those groups had largely moved beyond mod music entirely. Yet mod remains a durable part of rock's fabric, providing the key link between the British Beat Boom and British psychedelia, and fusing melodic harmonies, power guitar chords, soul/R&B, and distinctly British breeziness into a genuinely new and exciting style that typified British pop it most energetic and effervescent.[1]
There were a few other fine mod bands in the mid-'60s that had same degree of success in the U.K.; in the U.S., they are known only to collectors. Prominent among these were in the Creation, who emulated the Who's feedback screeches and drones, though their material actualy quite poppy. Creation guitarist Eddie Phillips pioneered the use of violin bow on electric guitar before Jimmy Page adapted the device for the Yardbirds and Led Zeppelin.[1]
It was, perhaps, in the cards that mod wouldn't last long. The whole mod ethic, after all, was built upon flash, sensation, and living for the moment. It was the type of adrenaline, rush that was difficult, to sustain, particularly as the movement's leaders, The Who and the Small Faces, quickly evolved into psychedelic-influenced hard rock bands in 1967. The evolution from mod to psychedelia, actually, was fairly natural, as many of the bands were already pioneering the guitar distortion the would be one of psychedelia's hallmarks, and moving towards more ambitious and personal lyrical statements. Even same of the lesser known mod groups, such as the Creation, the Smoke, John's Children, and even Wimple Winch (from Liverpool) were moving in a decisively psychedelic direction by 1967, and each case produced work in the idiom that was just the impressive as their mod outings.[1]

Hot Class: Try Chaise 23's Total-Body Chair Workout
It's no secret that NYC is a hot spot for innovative workouts. One of the summer's most buzzed-about studios is Chaise 23 which uses the Reinvention Chair (yep that means you get to sit down during this workout) and above-the-head bungee cords to deliver a unique, Pilates-based workout with an added level of resistance training. It's a two-for-one class that time-crunched New Yorkers are loving.
What's the Reinvention Chair? It's Lauren Piskin's (Chaise 23 founder and owner) sleek, modern reinterpretation of the traditional Pilates Wunda Chair equipment. Since most (meaning everyone) don't have a spare Wunda Chair in their storage closet, Lauren shared a few signature total-body moves that you can do an a regular, run-of-the-mill, household chair:
The Side Stretch Mermaid
- Start sitting on a chair and move to the front edge of the seat. Place left foot firmly on the ground in front of the chair and extend the right leg straight out to the side.
- Sit up straight, reach the right arm above the head, palm facing towards the body, fingers extended towards the sky (first photo). Slowly bend your upper body towards the extended left leg while holding onto the chair with your left arm (second photo).
- Continue to breath and lengthen spine and strength your waist. You can then rotate your shoulders so that they are square to the floor as you extend and lengthen your spine over the chair. Rotate back to center of chair and reverse to other direction (third photo). Repeat on other side.
Muscles Used: stretches oblique muscles, as well as your biceps and triceps
The Teaser
- Sit at the front edge of your chair. Hold on to the sides of the seat, inhale and curl your tailbone under (first photo).
- Lift your right and then left legs off the floor into a table top position, squeezing your knees and inner thighs together (second photo). Breath and hold the position for 4 counts.
- Start to lower each leg, one at a time, to floor (third photo). Repeat three times. For a more advanced version, try the sequence with your arms extended out to knee height (fourth photo).
Muscles Used: Works your abs, inner and outer thighs and pelvic muscles
Tricep Dips
- Place hands on chair seat, finger tips facing forward. Keep your feet on floor with knees bent in line with feet, but be sure to sit forward enough so that your butt is not touching the chair (first photo).
- Squeeze your knees together and keep your chest open (like it's trying to touch the ceiling) as you bend your elbows, lowering your butt to the floor (second photo) then fully extending arms to the starting position to complete a tricep dip. For advanced version extend one leg straight as you do tricep dips (third photo).
Muscles Used: Works triceps, upper back, gluteus maximus, inner thighs and abs

Paris MatchLarge Print - 2014 | Large print edition
From the critics

What has happened to Stuart Wood's writing? - not up to his former Stone Bennington books. He makes him look ridiculous and too much vivid sex encounters. Also it doesn't look this book was proofread. Hope is next one is better!
I always enjoy spending an afternoon with Stone Barrington, although his company seems to be a bit monotonous lately. Notice that I said monotonous, not monogamous, as Stone seems to spend half of his time bedding one beautiful lady(?) after another. I know he is single, rich, and handsome, but his sexual escapades seem to be a bit extreme in this latest book. There was plenty of action outside of the bedroom as well, and a lot of familiar faces in Paris to act as supporting characters.
I just love me some Stone ! Whatever book I'm reading I put it to the side
One of his better. Good on the action. A little heavy on the sex. I enjoyed it and I'll keep reading his series.
