'Cycling Sheffield' Team Sponsorship

We are delighted to be sponsoring the 'Cycling Sheffield' race team for the upcoming season. We will be supplying the team with a brand new Mazda6 Tourer support car which as you can see from the pictures below it looks great.

Yesterday was the first race of the season for the 'Cycle Sheffield' team - congratulations to Charlie who took third place and to the rest of the team: Joe, Liam and Tim. This was a great start to the season for the guys - despite the freezing and rainy conditions!

Good luck and we hope the weather improves for the next race.

The vinyls are on and the Mazda6 Tourer is looking the part.

Our Mazda Sales Manager, Peter Curzon, is handing over the keys to the cycling team manager Dave Coulson.

And finally it's race day!

Magnificent 7 Race

The 'Cycle Sheffield' race team were at the Magnificent 7 event on the 19th March.

The 7 tough climbs over a 50km route of Sheffield was taken on by Liam and Joe, who were also offering advice and support to other riders.

Liam rode with a women who was undergoing chemotherapy and as a result was some way behind everyone else – inspiring and very considerate of Liam.

Well done guys!

Sam Walton Trophy

On Saturday the Cycling Sheffield team were in sunny Northumberland for The Sam Walton Memorial.

All 6 members of the team entered the race – Charlie was under the weather so he did not ride and Billy had to retire due to a knee injury. A poor road surface had led to tyre punctures causing both Liam & Tim to fall victim. They re-joined the rest after a quick wheel change.

During this time, Joe had escaped and had been reeled back in while Jake escaped to what proved to be the winning move, keeping a gap of 5 meters to the finish line.

Inspite of having heavy legs Liam dragged himself out of bed on Sunday morning to ride a 17 mile hilly TT in the Peak District - Liam won by 4 minutes.

How do you clear a guilty conscience?

For one American, it meant repaying his debts by returning $0.09 to the US Treasury. For another, it meant sending the government $155,502.

And we don't know what they did because it was all done anonymously.

For more than 200 years, the Treasury has had a place for those with gnawing guilt to send cash and perhaps absolve them of their sins.

It's known as the Conscience Fund.

Some people are surprised to learn about the fund, Ryan Hanna, one of the fund's managers, told Business Insider. Hanna is one of 2,000 people based out of the Treasury's office in Parkersburg, West Virginia, where people can send their remittance.

People have donated because they've stolen supplies while in the military, withheld payments to the IRS, or just found cash lying on the street — all because the thought of keeping someone else's money burned a hole in their conscience.

"When we have new employees and they start looking at the list of the accounts we manage," Hanna added, "they see the description and a lot of times they'll ask 'What's that for?'"

It all began in 1811, when a donor sent $5 to the Treasury, then under the Madison Administration. The fund was authorized in 1950, and the Conscience Fund has served as the home for anonymous remittances since.

The fund doesn't usually pursue people for their crimes, but it does send thank-you notes.

People send donations anonymously by sending in a money order or a cashier's check; by sending money through relatives or attorneys; or by stuffing cash into an envelope.

Even when the largest donation was made, in 1990, in the amount of $155,502, the Treasury accepted the money without question.

Hanna and Walcutt couldn't comment on the total value of donations since the Conscience Fund began. But a 1987 New York Times article put the value at more than $5.7 million at the time.

Montgomery said the money the fund receives ends up in the Treasury's general account under "miscellaneous receipts." It's used for general expenses.

The Department of the Treasury.

But the fund has received a lot less in recent years, with $1.1 million in donations in 2014 and $427,000 in 2015.

By 2016, it had fallen to just $23,000, and, to date, in 2017 (about halfway through the fiscal year) it has seen just one donation, in the amount of $1,600.

Pew Research data has found that trust in the federal government is at historically low levels since 1958, although neither Hanna nor Walcutt wanted to speculate that trust was necessarily correlated with falling conscience-fund donations, which "vary widely" from year to year, Hanna said.

Both said the decline probably doesn't put the fund in jeopardy of getting dismantled. "I don't know that there would ever been an initiative to get rid of it," Hanna said.

Donations have ranged in size over the fund's 206-year existence. Most are under $100. The smallest was for those nine cents, when a man atoned for illegally using a $0.03 stamp on three separate occasions. Other donations have risen into the thousands, often on behalf of an estate.

With 100 funds to manage in total, Hanna and Walcutt aren't spending the majority of their time on the Conscience Fund. It's more of a background operation that gets a fun bit of attention now and then. Donors often include a note expressing their grief for having stolen in the first place.

Though technically necessary in order for managers to sort the money into the correct fund, the note has become a kind of tradition.

"This check for $1,300 is to make restitution of tools, leave days and other things I stole while I was in the Navy from '62 to '67,'" one note said, according to The Times.

Another read: ''Please accept this money enclosed for two postal stamps I reused.'"

Starting today, everyone obsessed with the "Fifty Shades of Grey" books will start reading a new installment in the series — "Grey."

"Grey" follows the same exact plot as "Fifty Shades of Grey," but from the perspective of the gorgeous and troubled billionaire Christian Grey instead of naive and impressionable Anastasia Steele.

The new installment is an intriguing look into one of the most mysterious and beloved characters that captivated readers back when the original 2011 book came out. As Anastasia describes him, Christian is "a white knight in shining, dazzling armor."

But the new peek into the character's psyche might have given her — and original readers — a run for the hills.

We got our hands on a copy and broke down how the characters differed in the key book scenes.

Their first meeting in Christian Grey's office

The interview.
YouTube / Universal Pictures
When Anastasia shows up to interview Christian for her school paper, the awkward 21-year-old literally falls into the room. In "Fifty Shades of Grey," Ana is understandably embarrassed.

Double crap — me and my two left feet! I am on my hands and knees in the doorway to Mr. Grey's office, and gentle hands are around me, helping me to stand. I am so embarrassed.

But Christian in "Grey" is immediately taken with this "whirl of long chestnut hair, long limbs, and brown boots." As he helps her up, he immediately notices her eyes.

Clear embarrassed eyes meet mine and halt me in my tracks. They are the most extraordinary color, powder blue, and guileless, and for one awful moment, I think she can see right through me and I'm left… exposed.

And while readers might melt at that line, he immediately sexualizes her one paragraph later:

I wonder briefly if all her skin is like that — flawless — and what it would look like pink and warmed from the bite of a cane.

Their second meeting at the hardware store

Stop acting like a stalker!
For those unfamiliar with the plot, Christian literally stalks Ana after their first meeting since he's so taken with her. After having his trusted bodyguard find out where she works, he proceeds to go and visit her there.

Ana is just doing her job, and has no idea what a stalker her soon-to-be-boyfriend is.

Here's the scene from her perspective in "Fifty Shades":

Mrs. Clayton asks me to check on some orders while I'm sitting behind the counter at the register discreetly eating my bagel. I'm engrossed in the task, checking catalog numbers against the items we need and the items we've ordered, eyes flicking from the order book to the computer screen and back as I make sure the entries match. Then, for some reason, I glance up…and find myself locked in the bold gray gaze of Christian Grey, who's standing at the counter, staring at me. Heart failure.

While Christian seems mysterious and intriguing in "Fifty Shades" while talking to Ana in the store, in "Grey" he comes off like a pig. In one scene, he lets her walk ahead of him, not to be a gentleman, but to check her out and see if she would make a good submissive partner in the bedroom.

Letting her walk ahead gives me the space and time to admire her fantastic ass. Her long, thick ponytail keeps time like a metronome to the gentle sway of her hips. She really is the whole package: sweet, polite, and beautiful, with all the physical attributes I value in a submissive. But the million-dollar question is, could she be a submissive? She probably knows nothing of the lifestyle—my lifestyle—but I very much want to introduce her to it.

Christian is insanely jealous

Christian Grey is even more possessive in "Grey."
YouTube / Universal Pictures
Christian is extremely possessive of Ana in "Fifty Shades of Grey" and we get a look into just how possessive in "Grey." In one scene, he meets her best friend José Rodriguez who is also a college-aged kid and immediately becomes competitive with him.

Ana notices in the "Fifty Shades" book that Rodriguez seems colder to Christian than to herself, but thinks nothing of it after the two men shake hands. Christian, however, is brooding over their possible relationship.

Rodriguez gives me a dark look as we shake hands. It's a warning. He's telling me to back off. He likes her. He likes her a lot. Well, game on kid.

This is a grown 27-year-old man — who also happens to be a billionaire — acting jealous of a soon-to-be college grad who is friends with the 21-year-old girl that he's met only three times. Pull it together, Grey.

Christian saves Ana from a cyclist

Both characters have a pivotal moment when Christian saves Ana from a biker.
YouTube / Universal Pictures
After being rebuffed by Christian when asked if he has a girlfriend — "I don't do that" — a dejected Ana "turns abruptly and stumbles into the road."

This is a turning point for both characters.

Ana, is happy to be so close to Christian. She thinks this is the moment he'll kiss her.

Via "Fifty Shades of Grey:"

It all happens so fast — one minute I'm falling, the next I'm in his arms and he's holding me tingly against his chest. I inhale his clean, wholesome scent ...

He's staring into my eyes, and I hold his anxious, burning gaze for a moment, or maybe it's forever ... but eventually, my attention is drawn to his beautiful mouth. And for the first time in twenty-one years, I want to be kissed. I want to feel his mouth on mine. Kiss me, damn it!

Readers never knew what was going on in Christian's head here. In "Grey," we find out he may have deeper feelings for Ana than just sex, but he dismisses them.

S---. She wants me to kiss her.
And I want to. Just once. Her lips are parted, ready, waiting.
Her mouth felt welcoming beneath my thumb.

No. No. No. Don't do this, Grey.
She's not the girl for you.
She wants hearts and flowers, and you don't do that s---.

When Ana sees Christian's "play room" for the first time

Christian is nervous for Ana to see his "play room."
YouTube / Universal Pictures
Perhaps the most central scene of the book is when Christian takes Ana to see his "play room" or the "red room of pain" where he keeps all of his BDSM accoutrement.

Ana is in awe of the room, and describes it in great detail, from the huge bed to all of the whips and chains.

I turn and he's regarding me intently, as I knew he would be, his expression completely unreadable. I walk farther into the room, and he follows me. The feathery thing has me intrigued.

Christian, meanwhile, watches her from the door, unmoving. We find out in "Grey" that he is extremely worried Ana will reject both him and his lifestyle.

Ana stands in the middle of the room, eyeing all the paraphernalia that is so much a part of my life: the floggers, the canes, the bed, the bench…she's silent, drinking it in, and all I hear is the deafening pounding of my heart as the blood rushes past my eardrums.

Their first sex scene

Christian agrees to "vanilla" sex.
Universal Pictures
In "Fifty Shades of Grey," Ana is mortified to reveal that she is actually a virgin. Christian decides they'll have "vanilla sex" instead where he doesn't engage in any BDSM play and says sweet things to Ana like, "You have the most beautiful skin, pale and flawless. I want to kiss every inch of it."

This line makes Ana "flush."

But when we see this same scene from Christian's perspective in "Grey," it doesn't feel sweet any more:

"You have the most beautiful skin, pale and flawless. I want to kiss every single inch of it." There's not a mark on her. The thought is unsettling. I want to see her marked ... pink ... with tiny, thin welts from a crop maybe.

The "Flogging"

The final scene is much different from Christian's perspective.
Universal Pictures
In the ultimate scene at the end of "Fifty Shades of Grey," Ana asks for Christian to show her the worst sort of thing that he can do. He takes her into the "play room" and tells her he is going to hit her with a belt six times and they will count together.

From Ana's perspective in "Fifty Shades," each strike of the belt makes her hate him more and more. She can't believe he's willing to hit her so hard and is disgusted by him.

But reading from Christian's perspective in "Grey," he's extremely happy. The girl of his dreams "asked" for him to inflict pain on her — something he finds sexually arousing — and she doesn't use any safe words to get him to stop. Christian thinks she's into it.

I drop the belt, savoring my sweet, euphoric release. I'm punch-drunk, breathless, and finally replete. Oh, this beautiful girl, my beautiful girl. I want to kiss every inch of her body. We're here. Where I want to be. I reach for her, pulling her into my arms.

But when he realizes she's angry at him, he's upset and confused.

My euphoria vanishes. I'm stunned, completely helpless and paralyzed by her anger. The crying I know and understand, but this rage…somewhere deep inside it resonates with me and I don't want to think about it.

It's probably the most revealing part of "Grey" and a satisfying explanation for readers for the most shocking scene in the "Fifty Shades of Grey" books. In "Grey," Christian is not a callous monster, but someone who is into BDSM and thought he could fulfill his ultimate fantasy with his submissive partner who never uses their safe word, even when she feels uncomfortable.

After he realizes how angry she is, he's upset and hurt. It's a big turn from "Fifty Shades" where the reader doesn't know his reaction at all.

You both are annoying.
Chuck Zlotnick/Universal Studios and Focus Features
If anything, reading "Grey" made me like Anastasia more while "Fifty Shades of Grey" made me like Christian more. In both books, I was annoyed by the narrator and found myself drawn to their idealized romantic partner.

"Grey: Fifty Shades of Grey as told by Christian" is available in paperback in stores and digitally Thursday, June 18.

  • The Boston Celtics beat the Indiana Pacers, 112-111, on Monday, becoming the first team this season to win a game after trailing by five points or more in the final 30 seconds.
  • The Celtics scored 10 points in 30 seconds, executing perfect late-game strategy by scoring and then fouling to stop the clock.
  • Terry Rozier sealed the game with a late steal and dunk that put the Celtics up by one with one second to play.

The Boston Celtics on Monday pulled off a comeback that the NBA hadn't seen this season.

The Celtics beat the Indiana Pacers, 112-111, with perfect late-game execution, becoming the first team this season, according to ESPN, to prevail after trailing by at least five points with 30 seconds to go.

The Celtics actually blew a late fourth-quarter lead when the Pacers' Victor Oladipo got hot, scoring 10 points in less than 90 seconds and giving the Pacers a 107-102 lead with 31 seconds remaining.

Kyrie Irving hit a difficult 3-pointer on the next play, but the Celtics fouled Pacers guard Lance Stephenson as the shot went in. Stephenson hit both his free throws, giving the Pacers a four-point lead.

Celtics guard Marcus Smart went the distance of the floor and hit a floater on the ensuing play, and the Celtics again fouled, sending Oladipo to the free-throw line.

After Oladipo hit both his attempts, the Celtics called timeout trailing by four, advanced the ball, and drew up a play that got Irving another 3-pointer, this time bringing Boston within one with 10 seconds to play.

The Pacers called a timeout but messed up as badly as possible on their inbounds. Forward Bojan Bogdanovic threw an inbounds pass to guard Cory Joseph. The Celtics were supposed to foul Joseph, and though they double-teamed him, they appeared to make very little contact. Trapped along the sideline, Joseph passed the ball back to Bogdanovic, who threw a lobbing pass that was picked off by the Celtics' Terry Rozier. Rozier took the ball and slammed it with one second left, giving the Celtics the lead and then the win.

Watch the chaotic final nine seconds below:

The Celtics said they meant to foul Joseph along the sideline, but the referees never called it. That worked out for the better.

"Kyrie and Marcus had the first trap, and Marcus was trying to yell to the referee, 'I'm fouling, I'm fouling!' but they didn't call it," Rozier said after the game. "Then they threw the ball to Bogdanovic and he made the pass and I was able to get my hand on it. As soon as I stole the ball I took a look at the clock and saw there were four seconds and I knew I had time."

For the Pacers, the scene was uncomfortably familiar. Last week, with a chance to tie the game against the Oklahoma City Thunder, the Pacers turned the ball over on an inbounds and lost at the free-throw line.

At 26-7, the Celtics own the best record in the East and third-best record in the NBA. Games can be decided by the smallest of moments, and the Celtics' late-game execution is the type that can help them win many more games throughout the season.

10 month old did not pee all night, would you worry??

I change his diaper at 10 pm, I felt his diaper at 6:15 am because he was restless (which is not unusual) it was dry, he did not pee all night long. I nursed him at least two times in the middle of the night and a long session before I put him down to bed. Should I be freaking out (I kind of am already) or watch his pattern through the day and see how that goes? Thanks for the help.

  • I would only worry if at his next diaper change it was dry. Once in awhile they do wake up dry then have a load for you later, lol.

    Answer by Christine0813 at 8:52 AM on Aug. 5, 2009

  • No, babys bladder will get stronger as he gets older. This is a good sign.

    Answer by Anonymous at 8:58 AM on Aug. 5, 2009

  • He could just have a strong bladder. Sometimes the muscle down there is stronger in some kids than in others. It could be that his muscle is strong enough to hold pee in there for a while (this will be good for potty training!!!!) Other times kids/baby's have weak muscles & can't hold it in very long, these children have a harder time potty training due to frequent accidents. If he is drinking enough fluids, then i would not be worried at all. And yeah, he'll probably have a load for ya pretty!

    Answer by samurai_chica at 8:58 AM on Aug. 5, 2009

  • You could make a late afternoon doctors appointment then cancel it if he has a wet diaper, but at 10 months his body may just be maturing.

    Answer by happytexasCM at 9:15 AM on Aug. 5, 2009

  • Unless he has been sick and not drinking or eating much and the next check in an hour after waking is still dry, I would not worry about it. If there are no other outward signs of sickness, he should be fine.

    What scares me is when I realize the diaper is dry and little one is laying there naked. I hurry to get the next diaper on becuase the pee explosion could happen anytime!

    Answer by 1stTimeMom2Ella at 9:39 AM on Aug. 5, 2009

  • my daughter has done that a couple of times.. than about an hour later her diaper is leaking because she let it all go.. that sucks when it happens.

    Answer by starmoonlight at 9:54 AM on Aug. 5, 2009

  • I remember that happening with my two older kids. It would be dry in the morning soon after changing it would be soaked.

    Answer by abelmm2 at 10:43 AM on Aug. 5, 2009

  • With it being the summer and very hot also be aware of dehydration. My DD was peeing less because she was loosing it all as sweat.

California IVF Fertility Center is a private practice clinic located in Northern California. As a professional fertility treatment center, we remain open and non-judgmental to all individuals regardless of their sexual orientation. We are very happy to work with gay and lesbian couples to help them achieve their dreams of having a baby. There are many treatment options available and our doctors will be happy to review these options during your initial consultation. Click here to find out how to get started.

We offer many services that are designed to help you have a baby. We can offer infertility testing and a wide range of treatments to overcome almost any obstacle. Our services range from working with donor sperm and intrauterine insemination, donor eggs and gestational surrogacy, to in vitro fertilization and pre implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD – FISH and CGH). Our compassionate and friendly doctors will provide you with professional care tailored to your individual needs and desires. Our staff will welcome you as part of our family.

Homosexual men and women seeking help to have a baby should not be confronted with hurdles and barriers to receiving good quality advice and treatment due to their sexual identity or preferences. There are unique challenges and benefits facing gay and lesbian couples. In most cases, the individual, or couples, are not affected by infertility. By using advanced fertility treatments, same sex couples will often have a higher chance of success than a heterosexual couple that has been trying for a year or more. There are additional legal challenges that affect the rights of the parents. The domestic partner laws and challenges to California’s marriage laws may help alleviate some of this pressure. Our doctors will provide compassionate and professional help to maximize your chances of having a baby.

Legal and Social Concerns for Men and Women

Women using sperm from a friend need to understand the potential problems. There are potential health risks and laws concerning parental rights that you should understand. Infectious diseases such as HIV and hepatitis can be transmitted from sperm used for insemination. Even in the absence of sexual intercourse, the sperm placed into the vaginal canal or cervix can remain highly infectious. Proper screening and evaluation of sperm donors requires isolation of sperm for at least six months before repeat infectious disease testing can be performed. When donor sperm from an approved sperm bank is used, there are stringent requirements to reduce the risk of infectious disease transmission. The quality of the sperm sample is monitored to be certain you have the best possible chances of pregnancy. In addition to concerns about infectious diseases and sperm quality, the legal concerns alone make using sperm from a friend a very bad idea. When a man provides sperm to a woman for the purpose of insemination, the man may desire legal, or paternity, rights in the future. When a man has donated sperm through proper channels and procedures, he waives this right. Since the laws do not specifically address insemination with sperm provided by a friend, you risk having problems with paternity rights in the future. In the reverse direction, the man risks the possibility of having the child’s mother demand child support. Fertility clinics can assist with directed donation of sperm, but we strongly encourage you to use anonymous donor sperm instead.

Men desiring to have a baby will need to engage the services of an egg donor and a gestational carrier, previously known as a surrogate. Traditional surrogacy involves the use of sperm from the intended father to fertilize a woman that will serve as the provider of the eggs as well as carrying the baby. In this situation, there are significant risks that could lead to legal headaches in the future. States usually recognize several factors in establishing parental rights. Genetic ties, delivery of the baby, and the intended parents are all factors used to establish rights. A traditional surrogate would have two of the three criteria and could present a significant argument to retain parental rights. Lawyers and contracts may be able to address these issues but you must remember that lawyers and contracts do not interpret or apply the law. As such, there are no guarantees when it comes to your parental rights. By using an egg donor and a completely different gestational carrier, homosexual men will have excellent chances of having a baby of their own with a drastically lower chance of any type of legal challenge.

Do not be reassured by a friends promise to not want anything to do with the baby. It’s easy to make such promises until the baby is actually born. Seeing and being a part of the birth of a child is a life altering experience. Many men and women that did not previously feel a bond to a baby may suddenly feel very attached. This could jeopardize your friendship and risk your rights to parent your child as you see fit. California IVF Fertility Center has helped many couples effectively use donor sperm and donor eggs to achieve a pregnancy. We can not provide legal advice outside of informing you of the potential hurdles you face and to recommend you seek legal advice regarding the possible challenges you may face.

On a brighter note, registered domestic partners are afforded some of the same protections and rights as married couples in the state of California. This often means that same sex couples can enjoy parental rights of their children born through donor eggs, donor sperm, or with the help of a gestational carrier. Many couples still look into adoption procedures to solidify their parental rights as they may pertain to other states that have less friendly laws. Our doctors can discuss these issues as they relate to fertility treatments but you should seek legal advice if there are any questions or concerns beyond the general information provided here.

Treatment Options

California IVF Fertility Center is a Northern California infertility clinic specializing in infertility treatments. Specific areas of expertise include in vitro fertilization (invitro), egg donor recipients, and oocyte donors, preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD), embryo freezing or cryopreservation, IVF & ICSI, and coordination with gestational carrier services. Treatment for both males and females including inseminations, or IUI with sperm from directed or anonymous donors can be coordinated. California IVF Fertility Center provides a highly specialized team to help you with your fertility treatment needs.

Insemination with Donor Sperm

Donor sperm can be obtained from anonymous donor sperm banks or from directed donation from a friend. We recommend anonymous donor sperm for the reasons outlined in the section above “Legal and Social Concerns for Men and Women”. Our clinic has experienced excellent success rates for female partners using donor sperm to achieve a pregnancy. Using ovulation induction with clomid or gonadotropins combined with intrauterine insemination can maximize your chances of pregnancy will keeping the treatments affordable. Donor sperm is obtained from a properly licensed donor bank. The sperm is shipped directly to the clinic and stored in our laboratory. A woman takes the medications to help the eggs grow. This process is monitored by ultrasounds so we can accurately time ovulation without having to rely on ovulation predictor kits or temperature charts. When the eggs are ready, medication is used to trigger ovulation. The insemination is scheduled to correspond with ovulation. The sperm are thawed and prepared for intrauterine insemination. During the insemination process, a speculum is used to view the cervix. A catheter is then placed into the uterus and the sperm are inserted.

Donor Eggs

Donor eggs can be obtained from anonymous or known sources. Anonymous egg donation is by far the most popular option. Multiple eggs are collected from an egg donor and used with sperm to make an embryo. This embryo remains in the laboratory for 3-5 days. When the embryos are ready for transfer, an appropriate number of embryos (usually 2), the embryos are placed into a catheter for insertion into the uterus of the intended mother or gestational carrier. More information about donor eggs can be found here.

Gestational Carriers

Gestational carriers are women that have agreed to carry a pregnancy for another person or couple. Gestational carriers use medications to make the uterus receptive for implantation and pregnancy. Embryos are placed into the uterus of the gestational carrier at the appropriate time. The gestational carrier would carry the pregnancy for the intended parent(s). There are additional legal considerations that will have to be addressed. A contract must be in place with a gestational carrier and an attorney must represent the intended parents to protect the parental rights. California IVF Fertility Center has experience working with gestational carriers and will be happy to help assist you in coordinating the process.

Here to Help!

California IVF Fertility Center will work with gay men who desire to have a baby. We have also worked with lesbian couples that have traveled here from other states due to more restrictive treatment policies. You will find our staff welcoming and supportive of your desire to build a family.

Because gay and lesbian couples have not been attempting pregnancy for an extended period of time, there is not often a significant concern for infertility. Usually providing the sperm or eggs and a gestational carrier to the equation will result in very good success rates. There are many hurdles to natural conception that will still affect the chances of pregnancy. These concerns include age, blocked fallopian tubes, sperm quality, and regularity of ovulation. When these factors are not presenting a problems, the results homosexual individuals undergoing treatment can be approximately 10% higher than the treatment results that are posted for heterosexual couples. As an example, the literature supports a 10% pregnancy rate with intrauterine insemination for an infertile couple. In our clinic, a woman without infertility (single or lesbian) can experience a 17 to 20% rate of pregnancy using clomid, ultrasound monitoring, and intrauterine insemination. (data from actual 2006 through 2007). A similar increase is seen in the setting of in vitro fertilization, or IVF.

The welcoming and relaxed environment provided by California IVF Fertility Center certainly provides a welcoming feel that likely contributes to this success. Our doctors will review your history, order any necessary tests, and make recommendations based on your individual situation. Call today to become part of our family.

One of the online courses that we recommend is Notes in Spanish, which offers downloadable audio, accompanied by worksheets containing transcripts, vocabulary lists, explanations of grammar and tasks for you to complete.

This week sees the start of the second season on Notes in Spanish Gold. For just €17* per month you receive a weekly audio file with the relevant worksheet on topics that are often connected to current issues in Spain.

So if you’re past the stage of asking your way to the Playa, and would like to learn some more advanced – even colloquial – Spanish, then take a look at Notes in Spanish Gold.

Green Bananas

Wednesday, November 10th, 2010

Green bananas - © Green Banana Guide is an interesting concept for visitors to Lanzarote.

For a single fee (currently £14.99) you receive a Green Banana Discount Card, giving you between 5% and 20% discount at a variety of outlets on the island.  These can be viewed on an interactive map and are also listed in the printed guide to the island.

At Double Six Fish and Chips in Puerto del Carmen, for example, you receive 10% off your bill.

If used often, the card is likely to cover its own cost fairly soon, as it can be used multiple times at the same establishment and the discount is applied to the bill for the entire party, not just the card owner.

For those who visit the island more than once a year, there is even an annual offer available.

However, even though it sounds like it could be good value for money, there are some discrepancies on the website that unsettle me. (more…)

Love Plus 3DS releasing December 8th, new trailer released

Simulation Videos News Konami 3DS Conference 2011 3DS

During Nintendo’s 3DS Conference 2011 they announced a bit of information for Love Plus 3DS. The game will be released in Japan on December 8th and it will cost those looking to buy the title ¥6,980. During the conference a three minute video was shown off to those in attendance and viewing online.

Konami quickly released the video online for everyone to see, and you can catch it below. The video shows off a number of features including the gyro system that will allow players to view the girls at different angles. Though the title is coming out during the holidays in Japan, I have serious doubts this title will see the light of day in the West despite a portion of gamers wishing it would.

Week 7 Recap: Cards Slide to 2nd Place with Loss, 22-10

When it rains, it pours and it certainly poured on Greg Toler (pictured above) and the Cardinals during their 22-10 loss to Seattle at Qwest Field

The Seahawks swatted the Cardinals out of the rain filled Seattle sky before settling on their perch atop the NFC West with a 4-2 record.  The Cardinals, wings clipped and confidence bruised, flew back to Arizona from Qwest Field with their 3-3 record after failing to gain any momentum after an inspiring win in Week 5.  Five turnovers, an ineffective offense, very poor special teams play including a 7 yard punt from Ben Graham, and an all too familiar rash of undisciplined penalties made for another frustrating Cardinals’ road loss.

Another Terrible Offensive Performance by the Cardinals

First, the team-wide offensive stats; they aren’t pretty once again.  The Cardinals’ offense converted only 2 of 13 third down opportunities, with only two first downs in the first half.  Arizona only gained 227 yards of total offense and averaged 3.5 per pass.  The Cardinals’ drives resulted as follows: intercepted pass, punt, punt, punt, fumble, punt, punt, end of half, fumble, touchdown, field goal, turnover on downs, end of game.  Obviously it’s going to be difficult to win games with these kinds of drives.  With this week’s performance, the Cardinals have dropped to dead last in the NFL in passing yards per game (146.2), last in total offensive yards per game (237.8), and 29th in rushing yards per game (91.7).  It really doesn’t get much worse than that.

Needless to say, Max Hall found out how the other half lives as he had a very poor performance before being knocked out of the game with concussion-like symptoms.  Hall exited the game after a crushing blind-side sack-fumble by Seattle defensive end Chris Clemons, which left Hall admittedly woozy and nauseous.  Whisenhunt revealed that he couldn’t send Hall back onto the field after presenting such symptoms.  Before he left, Hall completed only 4 of 16 passes for 36 yards and one interception, which was good for a demoralizing 13.5 passer rating.

As for Hall’s performance beyond the poor numbers, Max didn’t make as many mistakes as one might assume.   The interception in the first quarter simply slipped out of Hall’s hand and sailed over the head of intended receiver Max Komar into the waiting arms of the Seahawks’ Earl Thomas.  Hall admitted, however, that it was a bad decision to throw the rain slicked ball as Komar was clearly covered.

Hall’s major shortcoming came on the Cardinals’ next possession.  Out of the shotgun, Hall missed a wide open Larry Fitzgerald on a deep route when Fitz had clearly beaten two defenders.  Fitzgerald couldn’t help display his frustration as he threw his arms up in disgust.  Derek Anderson (we’ll get to him in more detail below) was benched for exactly this reason: failing to take advantage of wide open opportunities.  If Hall is going to have any degree of success with the Cardinals he can’t miss these chances.

Despite Hall’s poor performance, Ken Whisenhunt has already announced that Max will start next week against Tampa Bay at home so long as he’s healthy.  In effect, Hall is still the starting quarterback for the Cardinals.  Whiz expressed patience with Hall stating that he “understand[s] that with a young quarterback in this type of environment, you’re going to have to grow and learn with some of those things…I don’t have any doubt Max will bounce back from this.”  This process will be very slow and painful to watch.

In Hall’s stead, Derek Anderson got off to a torrid start, taking the Cardinals right down the field for their first offensive touchdown in 11 quarters.   It came on Beanie Wells’ first rushing touchdown of the season; a two yard plunge.  Wells finished the game with 54 yards on 14 carries, his longest gaining 10 yards.  Whisenhunt recently stated that Wells’ knee is still not fully healed, but since Tim Hightower is still unable to hold onto the ball, Wells may be asked to carry as much of the offensive load as he is able despite his health issues.

Anderson finished 8/17 for 96 yards with 0 TDs and 0 INTs.  After the quick start, Anderson cooled off and as per usual missed a wide open Early Doucet for a would be big play in the third quarter.  Whisenhunt made it clear that Anderson’s appearance was merely a fill in role for the injured Hall.

The Cardinals got what has become a typical performance out of Tim Hightower.  He gained 59 yards on only 6 carries for a terrific 9.8 yards per carry, including a 24 yard gain around right end.  The only problem was he once again cost the Cardinals a chance at points and totally shifted the momentum of the game with yet another costly fumble at the Seahawks’ 28 yard line in the second quarter.  Hightower saw very limited action after his third fumble in six games.  It’s unclear whether Whisenhunt has had enough, but he did have this to say:  “It was at a critical point in the game.  Momentum had started to turn.  That’s something that can’t happen.  That is a concern and something we will talk about with Tim.  We can’t live with that going forward.”  There really isn’t anything to talk about at this point.  Hightower has done this his entire career.  At some point the Cardinals need to find a running back they can trust to hang onto the ball.

In order to fix the struggling offense, the Cardinals are apparently considering a simplified playbook.  In addition, if Arizona is looking for a silver lining, perhaps Darren Urban of the Cardinals’ official website found it by pointing out that “it didn’t go unnoticed that the Cards averaged 5.7 yards a carry against what was the NFL’s second-ranked run defense, cracking the 100-yard barrier.”  Cold comfort.

The Defense Turned In an Acceptable Effort

Arizona can’t really blame this loss on the defense as Seattle didn’t do very much at all on offense while the game was still in contention.  Arizona forced Seattle to kick five field goals and punt four times despite the fact that the Seahawks were planted inside the Cards’ 20 yard line twice due to two Arizona turnovers.  Seattle’s lone touchdown came off of a muffed punt by rookie Andre Roberts, who inexplicably attempted to pick up the bobbled punt instead of falling on it.   Seattle of course stripped the ball and recovered the fumble to set up shop inside the redzone.

The Cardinals defense continues to give up too much yardage on the ground.  This week, the combination of Marshawn Lynch (89 yards) and Justin Forsett (41 yards) gained 130 yards.  Quarterback Matt Hasselbeck added an 11 yard gain of his own late in the game.  Michael Robinson contributed a 3 yard gain bringing Seattle’s total rushing yards to 144, which unfortunately has been on par with Arizona’s lack luster run defense.

As a side note, I can’t help but point out that Joey Porter completely gave up on chasing down Matt Hasselbeck after the 35-year old quarterback badly fooled Porter on a bootleg in the game’s final minutes.  Porter, instead of hustling after Hasselbeck, simply stopped running and idly jogged after Hasselbeck before giving up completely when Porter decided he’d run enough, though Hasselbeck was still gaining ground.  Porter won’t be able to hide that on film; inexcusable.

Aside from Porter’s lack of effort and pride when the game out of reach, the Cardinals defense made things difficult for Hasselbeck through the air for most of the game.  Hasselbeck finished 20/38 for 192 yards and 1 TD.  The Seahawks’ offense gets the most credit for keeping the ball long enough to seal the victory.  Seattle had drives of 14, 12, and 12 plays when the Cardinals were trying to get back into the game in the fourth quarter.

I suppose a bright spot in this loss was the pass rush.  The Cardinals totaled five sacks, which was three short of the team’s season total to that point.  Daryl Washington (career first), Calais Campbell, and Joey Porter each recorded a sack.  Alan Branch, who has been a pleasant surprise this season, grabbed two.  Branch also recorded 5 solo tackles, 2 tackles for a loss, 4 quarterback hits, and 1 forced fumble (recovered by Darnell Dockett).  He was clearly the defensive player of the game for the Cardinals.

Unlike Branch’s stellar effort, Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie is having one of the biggest drop offs from a Pro Bowl year I can remember.  Once again, Cromartie was beat up and down the field as his charge for most of the day, wide receiver Mike Williams, hauled in 11 catches for 87 yards and a touchdown.  The touchdown, however, was allowed by an over-matched strong safety Matt Ware, rather than DRC.  Ware could barely get his head turned around when Williams went up to grab Hasselbeck’s finely placed fade pass.

A Note on Fumbles, Penalties, and an Overall Lack of Discipline

Fumbles are something that has plagued the Cardinals since the 2009 season.  On Monday Night Football last year, Arizona lost seven fumbles to the San Francisco 49ers in a loss to their division rivals.  In fact, in 2009, the Cardinals led all teams in fumbles, a phenomenon which has unfortunately carried over to the 2010 season.  Fumbles are no doubt a part of the game, but certain fumbles are inexcusable, particularly Andre Roberts‘ muffed punt.  There’s just no reason for that turnover because it’s purely a mental lapse.  An intelligent football player wouldn’t try to pick up that ball up.  It was a mistake that should never happen and it cost the Cardinals seven points.

Unfortunately, it wasn’t just Roberts.  Four different Cardinals fumbled including Roberts, Jason Wright, Max Hall, and Tim Hightower.  Jason Wright‘s fumble looked like something out of a bloopers reel, with Wright accidentally booting the muffed kick-off halfway across the field to be scooped up by the Seahawks.

Aside from DRC’s poor defensive performance, he jumped offside twice on two field goal attempts, one of which gave the Seahawks a first down.  Just so we don’t pick on DRC too much, Dockett also committed a senseless penalty by hitting the ball carrier late while he was already on the ground.  The Cardinals had the Seahawks stopped on third down, but the penalty gave Seattle a fresh set of downs; a head scratching play.

Entrepreneurs – it’s been a great year. Employees - you just got a bonus – should you spend or save?

There were a couple of rather crazy events taking place in 2017 to celebrate Canada’s special birthday of 150 years for our country.  Throughout July and August, Canadians could have a seat on a red couch that travelled across the country to collect their stories about what Canada means to them.

In Ontario, the government brought a giant rubber duck (19 metres high) to Toronto for the July long weekend.  Visitors to the waterfront festival were invited to take selfies in front of the duck. This rubber duckie also travelled to Midland, Owen Sound, Brockville, Amherstburg and Sault Ste. Marie.

Getting a bonus from work is also cause for celebration.  While entrepreneurs aren’t in the same category as employees, an exceptionally good year financially often puts an extra wad of currency into their wallets too!  When advising clients, I often get asked about what they should do with annual bonus and/or a surprise extra lump sum.

Whenever you have that kind of great year in business or get a bonus from your employer, it’s important to have a plan of what to do with this windfall so that you have some reward for your hard work, yet also contribute to your long-term financial goals.  Experts recommend spending up to 50% on “fun” or something nice for yourself, and allocating the remaining 50% to your longer term plans.

I doubt anyone needs suggestions for the fun spending.  However, some suggestions for the serious half of the payout are:

  1. Top up your RRSP contribution*, which can result in more money in the pocket as it means you are reducing income tax either in the form of a refund or paying less next April 30. Employees – your company will probably deduct the tax up front.  Entrepreneurs - remember that you will owe tax on the bonus itself so put some cash aside in preparation.☹.
  2. Make a contribution to your TFSA*.The growth in this investment is special in that it will never be taxable, even in retirement (unlike eventual compulsory withdrawals from the RRSP converted to RRIF).
  3. Put an extra payment on your mortgage to reduce the total interest paid on what is likely your biggest debt.
  4. Pay down other debt – especially debts such as your credit cards which incur very high interest and reduce your ability to spend elsewhere.Getting your total credit exposure down to 35% or below increases your credit score and makes credit more accessible and less expensive.
  5. Start to build up emergency savings of three to six months’ salary for any unexpected disruption to your income.If you already have partial savings, contribute more.

* Before contributing to either RRSP or TFSA, be sure to check what contribution room you have available as there are penalties for over-contribution.

Implementing any of these suggestions strengthens control over your cash flow empowering you to fund financial goals and dreams that have meaning to you and your family.  Life these days goes so fast that we sometimes forget to stop and think about what we really want and how to get it.

A tax refund is also extra cash, much like when your employer puts some extra money into your pocket.  Just remember, it is different in the sense that the tax paid was your money in the first place and it isn’t “found money” in the same way as a bonus.  Now that you have it back, use it prudently.  You can employ the tax refund for the same suggestions as the bonus; however, you might also consider:

Some questions to reflect on:

1. Imagine you or your employer has paid you a bonus of $10,000.

How would you divide it between these categories?

•             Fun/rewards for self                      ______%

•             Savings/Investments                     ______%

•             Debt reduction                              ______%

2. Rank the following savings or investment plans in order of importance for yourself.

•             RRSP                                       _____

•             TFSA                                        _____

•             RESP                                        _____

•             Emergency Savings                  _____

3. Rank the following debt repayments in order of importance for yourself.

•             Mortgage                            _____

•             Credit cards                        _____

•             Line of credit                       _____

•             Car loan                              _____

4. Red couch or rubber duck, which was the craziest?

NDP Deputy Leader Thomas Mulcair blamed a post-election "fatigue" for his controversial comments questioning the existence of U.S. photos of Osama bin Laden's body.

Mulcair told host Mike Finnerty of CBC Montreal's Daybreak on Thursday that he had no reason to doubt photos exist when the U.S. president says so, but was questioning the decision not to release them.

The NDP's Quebec lieutenant landed in hot water Wednesday when he told CBC's Power & Politics with Evan Solomon that he didn't believe photos exist of bin Laden following the al-Qaeda leader's killing by U.S. forces on Sunday in Pakistan.

"I don't think, from what I've heard, that those pictures exist and if they do, I'll leave that up to the American military," he told Solomon Wednesday.

On Thursday morning, Mulcair acknowledged that it was not "the best statement [he] could have made."

NDP MP Thomas Mulcair said Thursday his comments on CBC's Power & Politics with Evan Solomon the previous day were taken out of context. (Graham Hughes/Canadian Press)

Mulcair said the context of the conversation had been lost, and that he was referring to whether a photo of bin Laden reaching for his gun exists or not.

"I take full responsibility for the meandering nature of that back and forth," Mulcair said on air Thursday morning.

"I'll put that on the account of a certain fatigue and our joy at our victory the other night," Mulcair added, in reference to his party's second-place showing in the election.

The NDP MP for Outremont said he referred to the photos in the exchange with Solomon that made international headlines on Wednesday, therefore he implicitly acknowledged them.

"I clearly reference the pictures themselves and say that if the Americans have them and they're holding them back, it's for reasons of human decency. So that couldn't be clearer," Mulcair said on Thursday.

The U.S. administration announced Wednesday it would not release the photos of the al-Qaeda leader after he was killed by U.S. Navy SEALs.

NDP foreign affairs critic Paul Dewar distanced the party from Mulcair's comments on Wednesday, saying it does not doubt the U.S. government has photos.

A spokesperson for the Prime Minister's Office called the comments "odd."

Mulcair defends rookie NDP MP

Mulcair was also asked about allegations the new NDP MP for Berthier-Maskinongé, Ruth Ellen Brosseau, had bogus signatures on the nomination papers  supporting her candidacy.

A Trois-Rivières resident, René Young, told media Wednesday that neither he nor his wife remember signing the document, and his wife's supposed signature is illegible.

Mulcair told CBC he had consulted party officials and other experts about the accusations, and confirmed that officials went door-to-door to obtain the signatures.

He said other residents in the area have not shed doubt on the nomination papers, and that Elections Canada had already verified the document.

"Once they've verified it, and they've said the person is a candidate and their name's on the ballot paper, that's the end of it," Mulcair said.

Mulcair added that Brosseau was elected by a large majority.

Brosseau, 27, won the riding northeast of Montreal by a 5,816-vote margin.

VIDEO OF THE DAY: The Star Wars That I Used To Know
June 28, 2012
submit to reddit

Gotye's anthem 'Somebody That I Used To Know' may have topped the charts in six countries, and hit the top 20 in at least a dozen others, but until now, no one's ever heard it like this. Teddie Films has reimagined the song from the perspective of, variously, Darth Vader, unhappy fans of the original trilogy, and Mr. George Lucas himself.

The video boasts high production values and a heartfelt commitment to a message that countless superfans have been crying into the online wilderness for years now: "George Lucas ruined my childhood". It's also kind of funny to see a semi-nude Lucas impersonator serenading another naked guy in a Darth Vader mask, if you're still in a bit of a childish frame of mind:

Massive Turnout of Conservatives Makes Historic Election Results Possible

DATE: 11/2/10                                     FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CONTACT: Media Relations

Massive Turnout of Conservatives Makes

Historic Election Results Possible

Christian Coalition of America President Roberta Combs commented on today’s election results as follows:
“All across our country conservatives went to the polls in record numbers to vote their values, and the result demonstrates the true power of America’s largest voting bloc.”

“They came out in support of candidates who responded to their calls for leadership that will stand against an intrusive and big spending government, and for traditional values.”

“The Republican Party’s leadership would do well to remember that it was the support of conservatives who take their values and the Constitution seriously that made this historic result possible.  These voters will be watching to make sure that they live up to their election promises”, Combs said.

Success of Operation Voter Guide

In the months leading up to the election, the Coalition leveraged the power of the Internet and social media to educate votes with a combination of online advertising in targeted states and viral online tools that empowered conservative activists.

As a result, the Coalition connected with hundreds of thousands of additional conservatives, identified tens of thousands of new activists and our voter guides were seen by millions of voters all across the country.

Within recent months the Coalition has launched new online tools such as:

  • A “Voter Guides” tab for Facebook
  • A “Donate Your Status” application for both Facebook and Twitter
  • A Coalition toolbar for web browsers
  • A voter guide widget, enabling supporters to crowd-source voter guide distribution

Christian Coalition of America is a non-partisan political organization that works to identify, educate and mobilize Christians for effective political action.  Since its inception, the Coalition has produced and distributed over a hundred million voter guides in elections all across America.

The Position Of Shepherds Who Charge For Spiritual Consultation

October 24, 2017 / Alonge Michael / Youth Arena / 4 Comments »

I might be wrong about my analogy concerning the position of shepherds who often charge for spiritual consultation. But I have read about various prophets in the Bible and how God gave prophetic messages through them to the people but I have never seen a passage whereby the said prophet demanded gratification.

In the Celestial Church fold, this is one of the areas that our leadership needs to iron out. When people come for consultation, let them be assured that the problem will not be further compounded. Most Shepherds have turned themselves into money mongers; they use prophets as a tool to generate revenue for personal enrichment. What a folly! Greed

Service to God is service to humanity. If you believe God has called you into His vineyard to do His work, then, don’t worry about what you will eat or drink. God alone is enough to open the doors of His provision and promotion for you. If people need to buy things, let them do so instead of telling them to go and bring certain amount of money. Ijo Mimo is not Babalawo’s home or centre.

People will give but don’t demand by force or make them lose out of the work they are supposed to do.

I really want to make this an intellectual discourse and i will appreciate people’s candid opinion. I have heard this countless times within the Celestial Church fold that shepherds or prophets charge people for carrying out spiritual works. Is this conduct fair? What are the adverse effects, especially on those who cannot afford to pay such fee? Is it in line with church rules? I know some people have personal experience concerning the issue that i just raised. Kindly leave a comment!

  4. Ibk says:

    Just a few of them that are genuinely called. So you are right that they have turned the church to Babalawo centre. If these shepherds are pure, a lot of them will not have big tummy. The sheep are growing thinner but they are getting fatter. Half of the church women both single are married have been slaughtered by them. Cno, you need to continue writing about these satanic geniuses who claim to be shepherds. Let the judgement start from the altar. Inhave some scoop to share with you editor. It’s about a shepherd at omoalade alafia.

On Mother’s Day, Thousands Join Actress and UNDP Goodwill Ambassador Connie Britton in Pledge to Stand Up for Families Suffering from Famine

May 14, 2017

Connie Britton teams up with Care2 and UNDP on a petition to raise support for families near starvation in parts of Africa and the Middle East

A new Care2 petition from actress and United Nations Development Programme Goodwill Ambassador Connie Britton is calling on people everywhere to show support for the millions of mothers and families on the brink of starvation due to widespread drought and conflict affecting northeast Nigeria, Somalia, South Sudan and Yemen. More than 59,800 people have taken the pledge.

VIEW THE CARE2 PETITION HERE: care2.com/MothersDay

“I am so extremely grateful every day to be able to provide for my son,” Britton writes on her Care2 petition. “And this year, on Mother’s Day in particular, I am devastated to think about the plight of 20 million mothers and families around the world who are struggling to survive right now due to a looming famine in four countries across Africa and the Middle East — northeast Nigeria, Somalia, South Sudan and Yemen.”

The United Nations has called the approaching famine the worst preventable humanitarian crisis since World War II. Close to one million acutely malnourished children need treatment this year, including 200,000 who are in need of immediate life-saving support. The severe situation is also forcing many people to flee their homes.

“In honor of Mother’s Day, I ask you to join me in showing our support for the millions of mothers and parents living on the brink of starvation,” Britton writes. “Struggling to feed their children. Losing hope.”

Britton has also filmed a video urging supporters to take her pledge.

The pledge will help the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) to:

  • Meet the urgent needs of affected families and restore basic services such as water, sanitation and schools;
  • Ensure long-term opportunities by creating jobs and reviving local agriculture so people can earn an income to support their families and become less vulnerable in the future;
  • Address the root causes, such as ongoing conflict, fragility and insecurity, to prevent the crisis from spreading or recurring.

Governor Rick Scott announced Enterprise Florida and the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO) are accepting economic development project proposals for the new $85 million Florida Job Growth Grant Fund. Economic development projects that enhance community infrastructure or develop workforce training programs are eligible to receive funding. To find out more information about the grant fund, or download project proposal templates, click HERE.

Governor Scott said, “With more than 1.37 million jobs created across our state since December 2010 and the lowest unemployment rate in nearly 10 years, it is clear that Florida’s economy has experienced incredible growth. However, we are competing against other states and countries for new jobs, and we must aggressively fight to make Florida the best destination for business. That is why I worked with the Legislature to establish the new $85 million Florida Job Growth Fund, which will invest in infrastructure and workforce training needs across the state- two major factors that job creators consider when choosing an ideal location. I am proud to announce that DEO and EFI are now accepting proposals for the fund and I encourage Florida communities to apply today.”

Governor Scott worked with the Legislature to establish the new $85 million Florida Job Growth Grant Fund during the recent special session. This flexible, transparent economic development program is the first of its kind and will be used to promote public infrastructure and individual job training, which will encourage more businesses to choose Florida as a destination for business. DEO will work with Enterprise Florida, the state’s premier economic development agency, and other state and local partners to identify projects that may be considered for funding.

Senate President Joe Negron said, “I am pleased to see the application process launch so quickly. Key investments in infrastructure and job training provided through the Florida Job Growth Grant Fund will help keep Florida businesses and employees on the cutting edge of their industries. With new transparency measures, the Florida Job Growth Grant Fund strikes the right balance between accountability to the taxpayers who fund our government and the flexibility needed to remain nationally competitive in our economic development efforts. My colleagues and I appreciate Governor Scott’s leadership in this important endeavor.”

House Speaker Richard Corcoran said, “This fund will free up the Governor to cut through unnecessary bureaucracy, regulation, and red tape to improve infrastructure and education leading to greater job growth and opportunity for all Floridians.”

Cissy Proctor, Executive Director of DEO, said, “Communities across Florida have so many opportunities for economic development and job growth. The Florida Job Growth Fund allows DEO to provide needed flexible funding to enhance infrastructure and develop a strong workforce across the state.”

Mike Grissom, interim President & CEO of Enterprise Florida, said, “Florida is already a top business destination. The new Florida Job Growth Grant Fund provides another valuable tool to Florida communities as they compete on a global stage for economic development projects that transform communities and invest into our state.”

Kyle Okposo

Kyle Okposo

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Buffalo Sabres forward Kyle Okposo happily looks to the future now that he’s fully recovered from the concussion-related symptoms that nearly derailed his career in March.

Saying he’s not dwelling on the past, Okposo was eager to rejoin the Sabres after skating with numerous teammates for practice a little more than a week before the team opens training camp. Though he has been skating for much of the summer, Tuesday marked his first time on the ice in Buffalo since being hospitalized late last season.

“It was obviously a tough situation, a tough road,” Okposo said. “I’m just happy to be back and happy to be able to play again, and play at a high level.”

He acknowledged questioning if he would ever get better before he started feeling “clear” in May.

“It was definitely a scary thing,” Okposo said. “Your mind starts to question a lot of things.”

In a letter posted on the Sabres website in July, Okposo wrote he began losing weight and had difficulty sleeping after what he described as “a routine hit” in practice. He played one game before the symptoms worsened.

Okposo then spent nearly a week in April in Buffalo General Hospital’s Neuro Surgical ICU to be stabilized.

The 29-year-old from St. Paul, Minnesota, had 19 goals and 26 assists for 45 points in 65 games during his first season with Buffalo. Okposo signed a $42 million, seven-year contract with the Sabres in free agency last year.
