Coping with a Parent’s Mental Illness
January 4, 2012

In different year, the race for attorney general in Pennsylvania might have been just a footnote to the presidential election.
But more people in the Keystone State voted Tuesday for Kathleen Kane to be their attorney general than voted for Barack Obama to be their president. And much of that may be attributed to the furor over the Jerry Sandusky child sex case.
She beat the Republican challenger, David Freed, by almost 15 points, and the overwhelming support makes her the first woman and the first Democrat elected to the job in Pennsylvania.
What may have pushed Kane over the top was her strong stance on the Sandusky scandal. She promised to look back to November 2008, when the first victim came forward, and carry out an independent review into why Sandusky was not charged until three years later.
"We need an independent investigator to look at what happened," Kane told CNN. "Over 3 million people feel that I am that independent investigator."
Her promise means she'll be taking on the state's sitting governor, Tom Corbett. And her review into the Sandusky case investigation will delve into the years that Corbett was the attorney general. He launched the Sandusky investigation before he ran for governor.
Despite some criticism, Corbett has denied that politics had anything to do with investigative decisions. Instead, he accused Democrats of politicizing the case when two leading state Democratic lawmakers wrote a three-page letter asking U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder to look into how the Sandusky investigation unfolded. Holder's office says the letter is under review.
It's a topic that comes up at almost every news conference Corbett holds --- no matter the stated topic.
"I challenge anybody out there who says there is to bring forward one piece of evidence, one sentence of evidence, one thread of evidence," Corbett said in October, defending his handling of the investigation.
Criticism of Corbett emerged soon after Sandusky's arrest last year, when the school's faithful began to question his role on the university Board of Trustees, which had fired the Nittany Lions' long-time football coach, Joe Paterno..

Wealthy Singapore ranks as world's most stoic
Philippines most emotional, survey shows
The most emotionless society is Singapore's despite its reputation for being among the world's richest, a new survey has revealed.
Gallup looked at 150 countries where about 1,000 residents were asked whether they experienced five positive and five negative emotions a lot during the course of a day. The results were based on interviews taken over a three-year period.
Questions included whether people felt well-rested or enjoyment, smiled and laughed or felt worry, sadness, stress or anger.
The 36% in Singapore who reported feeling anything is the lowest in the world, the Washington-based research and analytics organization found. This figure is an aggregation of data from 2009-2011; in Gallup's latest measure taken last year, just 30% of those surveyed in Singapore felt anything at all.
The findings belie Singapore's 1.9% jobless rate in the third quarter and per capita GDP of more than US$50,000 -- among the highest in the world.

Tying at 38% were Madagascar and Nepal..

BEND, Ore. -- A thank-you note to a Central Oregon locksmith was addressed to "the most honest man in Bend" after he returned $50,000 he found in a safe's secret compartment.
Bryan Donnell retrieved a customer's 1,000-pound safe last week. He's used to finding jewels and some cash, but nothing like the stacks of $100 bills wrapped in rubber bands.
The safe's former owner, 57-year-old Dale Parkinson, tells The Bulletin of Bend, Ore., that he and his wife pulled the money from their life savings in 2007, fearing a potential financial collapse.
They also bought a safe, and snuck $50,000 into a secret compartment.
Then, apparently, they forgot about it.
Parkinson decided to put the money back in the bank this year and sold the safe to Donnell.
Donnell refused a cash reward, but accepted a bottle of Scotch.

The Team USA stars are back on American soil, fresh from their gold wins at the London Olympic Games.
Douglas, Maroney, Jordyn Wieber, Kyla Ross, and Aly Raisman took a tour of New York before discussing with Letterman what other sports they’d like to participate in.
McKayla, joking about her height, said she’d like to try her hand at volleyball. Letterman responded with, “but you’ll get sand in your pants!”

The Grand National: WAG Style Files
The Grand National at Aintree is one of the most hotly anticipated events of the northwest WAG social calendar. (It’s also a big day for those that earn a living selling alcohol, bless ‘em.)
Yes, each Spring, the ladies of Liverpool and beyond put on their best glad rags, drink copious amounts of champers and catch up on all the gossip while under the guise of being interested in men on horses racing around a dirt track.
Not that we don’t have love for the sport of racing. It’s just…well, right now we’re only concerned about the fashion. Simply put, any event where it’s acceptable to appear borderline mental and still be named best-dressed is too brilliant to ignore.
Events kick-off tomorrow, and some of our favourite WAGs have confirmed attendance already: Coleen Rooney will be handing out the seriously epic prizes for best dressed; Sheree Murphy gave some fashion tips last week in conjunction with retailer Matalan; and Alex Gerrard confessed to us all how drunk she plans on getting. Fantastic.
Before the barmy headgear and chavtastic dresswear fiesta begins, we’d like to give the Coleen and Alex a few style suggestions for this year’s event.
We must warn you that what awaits may contain ruffle.
Coleen’s best showing at Aintree undoubtedly came in 2008 when she was outfitted in not one, but two Balenciaga dresses.
Her selections for 2009 had us split, however. She channeled Gossip Girl’s Blair Waldorf in this adorable hot pink dress with giant hair band to hand out the best dressed prize, but her selection for Ladies Day was an ‘also ran’ (that’s racing lingo for fugly). Although we know she was hiding her little Kai-bump, Coleen turned out in a billowing Cavalli something or else that was just downright unflattering.
Back from having the baby, in 2010 we’d love to see Coleen in something like this beautiful Matthew Williamson silk floral print dress. It has the same plethora of color that is necessary to stand out at Aintree, but it’s much younger and fresher.
-
For two forgettable years, Alex was seen around Aintree proclaiming how ‘fetch’ ruffles were. Last year, though, saw her commendable fashion upgrade featuring a gorgeous Stella McCartney dress and blazer.
Beautiful? Yes. Enough for Aintree? No! We’re not saying Alex should turn up in a ball gown with matching glass slippers (though, would anyone be surprised by this?), but let’s see some colour. For Mrs. Stevie G, we’d recommend this Tibi mini dress – ideal for showing off her perfect pins.
-
Over to you, Kickettes. Who are you placing your bets on to come out on top of the style stakes this season? Or are you just here for the free-flowing bubbly?
Um… that Alex’s column… seems like I’ve finally found someone who puts thoughts into words in a much more boring way than me.
I still can’t believe that even a mag like OK will publish what Alex tries to pass off as a “column”. Ha!
I never liked the Cavalli gown on Coleen, but she cleared Beechers Brook easily with the other outfits.
Looking forward to seeing her choices this weekend.
Aintree 08 – Bloody hell…what the F did I just witness?
*almost collapses but regains composure*
Some women got it okay, some acceptable…the rest: NO.WORDS.
lol wow it looks like a circus there. anyway, coleen wins SO easily.:P fashion AND looks; everybody else (especially those non-WAGs) is…disastrous.
OMG when I first saw the 2009 Alex photo…I thought Paris Hilton had infiltrated Ainstree.
well imight as well have my say on this.because as every year my weekend is ruined looking at these skanks.!!!but if i really had to choose who i like best.without a doubt it has to be alex. she,s not fugly like the other one who,s name i cannot bear to say.uggggggggggggghhh
I’m so confused.. (I’m from the US) Is it a horse race or a fashion show? or both?
from the us as well. kind of think it’s like the kentucky derby? you know how it’s both?!
Horse race… with a “best dressed” prize… !
I am placing my bet on the one who doesn’t forget to look in the mirror before leaving the house!
I like that dress that was picked out for Coleen!! I would wear it!!
not into horses or these two women, so i'm just turning up for the free drinks

Kidney Stones in Children

Are kidney stones common in children?
No exact information about the incidence of kidney stones in children is available, but many kidney specialists report seeing more children with this condition in recent years. While kidney stones are more common in adults, they do occur in infants, children, and teenagers from all races and ethnicities
What causes kidney stones in children?
Kidney stones can form when substances
in the urine—such as calcium, magnesium,
oxalate, and phosphorous—become highly
concentrated due to one or more causes:
- Defects in the urinary tract may block the flow of urine and create pools of urine. In stagnant urine, stone-forming substances tend to settle together into stones. Up to one-third of children who have stones have an anatomic abnormality in their urinary tract.
- Kidney stones may have a genetic cause. In other words, the tendency to form stones can run in families due to inherited factors.
- An unhealthy lifestyle may make children more likely to have kidney stones. For example, drinking too little water or drinking the wrong types of fluids, such as soft drinks or drinks with caffeine, may cause substances in the urine to become too concentrated. Similarly, too much sodium, or salt, in the diet may contribute to more chemicals in the urine, causing an increase in stone formation. Some doctors believe increases in obesity rates, less active lifestyles, and diets higher in salt may be causing more children to have kidney stones.
- Sometimes, a urinary tract infection can cause kidney stones to form. Some types of bacteria in the urinary tract break down urea—a waste product removed from the blood by the kidneys—into substances that form stones.
- Some children have metabolic disorders that lead to kidney stones. Metabolism is the way the body uses digested food for energy, including the process of breaking down food, using food’s nutrients in the body, and removing the wastes that remain. The most common metabolic disorder that causes kidney stones in children is hypercalciuria, which causes extra calcium to collect in the urine. Other more rare metabolic conditions involve problems breaking down oxalate, a substance made in the body and found in some foods. These conditions include hyperoxaluria, too much oxalate in the urine, and oxalosis, characterized by deposits of oxalate and calcium in the body’s tissues. Another rare metabolic condition called cystinuria can cause kidney stones. Cystinuria is an excess of the amino acid cystine in the urine. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins.
What are the signs and symptoms of kidney stones in children?.
What types of kidney stones occur in children?
Four major types of kidney stones occur in
children:
- Calcium stones are the most common type of kidney stone and occur in two major forms: calcium oxalate and calcium phosphate. Calcium oxalate stones are more common. Calcium oxalate stone formation has various causes, which may include high calcium excretion, high oxalate excretion, or acidic urine. Calcium phosphate stones are caused by alkaline urine.
- Uric acid stones form when the urine is persistently acidic. A diet rich in purines—substances found in animal proteins such as meats, fish, and shellfish—may cause uric acid. If uric acid becomes concentrated in the urine, it can settle and form a stone by itself or along with calcium.
- Struvite stones result from kidney infections. Eliminating infected stones from the urinary tract and staying infectionfree can prevent more struvite stones.
- Cystine stones result from a genetic disorder that causes cystine to leak through the kidneys and into the urine in high concentration, forming crystals that tend to accumulate into stones.
How are kidney stones in children diagnosed?:
- Ultrasound uses a device, called a transducer, that bounces safe, painless sound waves off organs to create an image of their structure. An abdominal ultrasound can create images of the entire urinary tract. The procedure is performed in a health care provider’s office, outpatient center, or hospital by a specially trained technician, and the images are interpreted by a radiologist—a doctor who specializes in medical imaging; anesthesia is not needed. The images can show the location of any stones. This test does not expose children to radiation, unlike some other imaging tests. Although other tests are more useful in detecting very small stones or stones in the lower portion of the ureter, ultrasound is considered by many health care providers to be the best screening test to look for stones.
- Computerized tomography (CT) scans use a combination of x rays and computer technology to create threedimensional (3-D) images. A CT scan may include the injection of a special dye, called may be required to get an accurate stone count when children are being considered for urologic surgery. Because CT scans expose children to a moderate amount of radiation, health care providers try to reduce radiation exposure in children by avoiding repeated CT scans, restricting the area scanned as much as possible, and using the lowest radiation dose that will provide the needed diagnostic information.
- X-ray machines use radiation to create images of the child’s urinary tract. The images can be taken at an outpatient center or hospital by an x-ray technician, and the images are interpreted by a radiologist; anesthesia is not needed. The x rays are used to locate many kinds of stones. A conventional x ray is generally less informative than an ultrasound or CT scan, but it is less expensive and can be done more quickly than other imaging procedures.
How are kidney stones in children treated?:
- Shock wave lithotripsy (SWL). A machine called a lithotripter is used by the doctor to crush the kidney stone. In SWL, the child lies on a table or, less commonly, in a tub of water above the lithotripter. The lithotripter generates shock waves that pass through the child’s body to break the kidney stone into smaller particles to pass more readily through the urinary tract. Children younger than age 12 may receive general anesthesia during the procedure. Older children usually receive an IV sedative and pain medication.
- Removal of the stone with a ureteroscope. A ureteroscope is a long, tubelike instrument used to visualize the urinary tract. After the child receives a sedative, the doctor inserts the ureteroscope into the child’s urethra and slides the scope through the bladder and into the ureter. Through the ureteroscope, which has a small basket attached to the end, the doctor may be able to see and remove the stone in the ureter.
Ureteroscopic stone removal
- Lithotripsy with a ureteroscope. Another way to treat a kidney stone through a ureteroscope is to extend a flexible fiber through the scope up to the stone. The fiber is attached to a laser generator. Instead of shock waves, the fiber delivers a laser beam to break the stone into smaller pieces that can pass out of the body in the urine. The child may receive general anesthesia or IV sedation.
Percutaneous nephrolithotomy
- Percutaneous nephrolithotomy. In this procedure, a tube is inserted directly into the kidney through an incision in the child’s back. Using a wire-thin viewing instrument called a nephroscope, the doctor locates and removes the stone. For large stones, an ultrasonic probe that acts as a lithotripter may be needed to deliver shock waves that break the stone into small pieces that can be removed more easily. Children receive general anesthesia for percutaneous nephrolithotomy. Often, children usually is left in the kidney for 2 or 3 days while the child remains in the hospital.
Nephrostomy tube
How are kidney stones in children prevented?.
Eating, Diet, and Nutrition:
- Children who tend to make calcium oxalate stones or have hypercalciuria should eat a regular amount of dietary calcium and limit salt intake. A thiazide diuretic medication may be given to some children to reduce the amount of calcium leaking into the urine.
- Children who have large amounts of oxalate in the urine may need to limit foods high in oxalate, such as chocolate, peanut butter, and dark-colored soft drinks.
- Children who form uric acid or cystine stones may need extra potassium citrate or potassium carbonate in the form of a pill or liquid medication. Avoiding foods high in purines—such as meat, fish, and shellfish—may also help prevent uric acid stones.
Points to Remember
- A kidney stone is a solid piece of material that forms in a kidney when some substances that are normally found in the urine become highly concentrated.
- Kidney stones occur in infants, children, and teenagers from all races and ethnicities.
- Kidney stones in children are diagnosed using a combination of urine, blood, and imaging tests.
- The treatment for a kidney stone usually depends on its size and composition as well as whether it is causing symptoms of pain or obstructing the urinary tract.
- Small stones usually pass through the urinary tract without treatment. Still, children will often require pain control and encouragement to drink lots of fluids to help move the stone along.
- Children with larger stones, or stones that block urine flow and cause great pain, may need to be hospitalized for more urgent treatment.
- Hospital treatments may include shock wave lithotripsy (SWL), removal of the stone with a ureteroscope, lithotripsy with a ureteroscope, or percutaneous nephrolithotomy.
- To prevent recurrent kidney stones, health care providers and their patients must understand what is causing the stones to form.
- In all circumstances, children should drink plenty of fluids to keep the urine diluted and flush away substances that could form kidney stones. Urine should be almost clear.
Hope through Research.

New York, NY
March 5, 2007
During his residency at Duke University, George Washington University Renal Fellow Scott Cohen grew attached to a dialysis patient named Fannie. The then-25-year-old resident admired the 60 year old patient. He liked how kind she was and how she handled the challenges imposed by her various diseases with dignity and a lack of self-pity. Cohen also noticed how much it cheered her up when he spent extra time with her, and how it helped her family when he took the time to explain Fannie's condition and treatment. "She had very little social support and was very sick," says Cohen, now 29.
Fannie passed away, but Cohen, a Miami native, who graduated from the University of Miami School of Medicine, decided to honor Fannie and all dialysis patients by designing the first-ever pilot study of a social support group intervention to be carried out in a rigorous, randomized fashion. Translation: He wants to prove scientifically what he and many others believe, that dialysis patients suffer a greater degree of depression than the general population and that a social support group intervention will help improve their emotional well-being and quality of life, as well as improve their physical outcomes.
"We believe social support can improve virtually every aspect of patients’ health and care," he says. "We believe dialysis patients who have received a social support intervention will have decreased levels of depression, more hope, will be more likely to take their medication, listen to their doctor's advice, come to dialysis, eat better, and talk with others with chronic kidney disease. All these factors may increase long-term survival." Cohen, who also is working toward his MPH degree at George Washington University School of Public Health, says his NKF grant has helped him recruit 40 patients in a randomized controlled study, in which 20 participate in support groups made up of 5 to 6 patients, and the remaining 20 dialysis patients receive the standard care. The study has been underway for six months, and Cohen hopes to expand it soon to the Veteran's Administration Hospital. Cohen's dream is that every dialysis center will have a support group for its patients.

Thank you @webcrew...that was fast :) Already been there and done that :)
Will you please forward this to Kid Rock and ask him to support Save Ace (fb page) and Detroit Dog Rescue (fb page) regarding Ace, the emaciated pitmix who wandered into an Ace Hardware Store in Detroit on November 4th? Ace's story has gone viral and this Friday he will be destroyed if we can't encourage the Detroit Mayor D. Bing into saving his life. Kid Rock may know rapper Hush who founded the Detroit Dog Rescue. Hush has been at the forefront of this fight and his organization was enroute to save Ace when Detroit Animal Control beat them to the store. No dogs make it out of DAC alive. As dog lovers, we are asking Kid to comment on either facebook page and even call the Mayors' office to make a plea to release Ace to a registered rescue group for medical attention and care. There are numerous people ready to pay for Ace's medical care. City Council this morning even agreed but the Mayor has the final say and it looks bleek for Ace. You can find coverage on this link-... Calls have been coming in from as far away as Germany to plead for this dogs release. If Kid knows rapper Hush, he could contact him and get the whole story. We need Kid Rocks' help here...he can reach so many and help save the dogs of Detroit. Thank you for taking the time to read this message. I can't wait to hear back from you or Kid.
Rock&RollGalofDetroit - Videos are back on . Enjoy!
Why and who removed them? Just curious :)
@Rock&Roll - Thanks for letting us know. They were removed from You Tube and therefore not feeding through our site. We'll see what we can do. Stay Tuned!
@webcrew...Hi there...just wondering...none of the music videos are on this site anymore? Just wanted to let you know in case you didn't already.
Kid
NIce site. I am one of five USAF fighter pilots that went to your concert in Indy this year (2011). Look forward to many more and we are all gonna travel to Detroit next year.

Cattle Barrons Ball cancellation today??? Really? 2 KIDS VERY DISAPPOINTED!!!!!!!
My daughter and her 17 yo were going. He was a special guest of ACS, as he has beat cancer 4x, has 1 kidney, given last rites, stem cell transplant, just finished chemo this summer for the 4th cancer butt kicking. 11 years he has dealt with this.
They were going to have a meet and greet with you at 830 as well as 2nd table from stage for show......
AND NOW YOUR NOT GOING TO PLAY??????????
The kids are crushed, and i must say I am disappointed.
What gives?
I'm still wondering if Kid Rock is going to be coming out with a DVD???? I put it on my post and over 2 million people agreed with me. I've seen two shows and one interview on TV with him and I think he is soooo down to earth....I love that about him. He says things like it it....no bullshit!!!!!!
I was wondering if you could have someone email me with information on how to book KidRock for a concert. My family owns a ski area in Michigan and I'm in charge of off season events. Please email me Amy at [email protected]
I would REALLY appreciate it!!
My computer is jumping around on me but i wanted to add proceeds would also go to support our troops & their families. BB
Hope your shoot went great. I have a couple of suggestion I pray u consider. I would like to start one of those home shopping shows located in Michigan, but with a twist. It would consist of items donated by any celebrity & they could walk on as long as they are sincere in helping & not wanting publicity unless it benefits a cause. I pray that 100% of all proceeds go to a variety of charities that give 100% of the proceeds to the specific charity. I realize this many not all ways be possible. I also realize the need for sponsors & that is an area for a legal department as with any other concerns. I am very passionate about this & I would like to start a reality show with some integrity that focuses on organizations in need, ie..nursing homes, orphanages, hospitals, research for cures, ending corruption n government, improving an economy, global peace, families in need, abuse, & anything else u can think of. God Bless u & all u do. I am looking forward to a response & just so u know i do have a degree in communications from Madonna University, & I

Corpus Christi (Kiii Sports) - Playing at Whataburger Field on the final day of the regular season, the Texas A&M-Kingsville baseball team bounced back from a disappointing doubleheader on Friday to take two games from Lone Star Conference rival Incarnate Word on Saturday, 8-5 and 6-4.The Javelina (31-14, 18-10) bats came alive with 25 hits in the twin bill and kept the team's slim regular season conference championship hopes alive. The Javelinas would need Angelo State to lose the final two games of their series with Abilene Christian to claim the title. The Javs secured at least a second place regular season finish.In the opener, the Javelinas loaded the bases in the first inning and put a runner on third base in the next two without scoring. The Cardinals (22-19, 16-11) scored a run in the top of the third when Adam Pena singled home Thomas Rinn who had doubled.The Javs broke the game open in the middle innings. They scored three unearned runs in the fourth with Taylor Taska (Kingwood/Kingwood HS) coming through with a go-ahead two-out, two-run single. In the fifth inning, James Black (Spring/Klein Collins HS) brought in two runs with a double and Mario Siller (San Antonio/MacArthur HS) drove in another with a single.The Cards scored two in the sixth on a two-run homer by Greg Barbaro, but the Javelinas answered with two in the bottom half of the inning. UIW threatened in the top of the seventh scoring twice, but Cole Foster (Katy/Taylor HS) was able to come on in relief and retire the final two batters for his first career save.Taska, Trent Wagner (Victoria/Memorial HS) and James Wallace (Corpus Christi/Tuloso-Midway HS) each had three hits for the Javelinas. Dallas Ponder (Flatonia/Flatonia HS) improved to 4-1 on the season with 5.2 innings of work. He allowed five hits, three runs and five walks while striking out five.Marc Gomez was tagged with his first loss of the season for the Cards. He went 5.0 innings allowing 12 hits, three earned runs and three walks while striking out four.In the second game, the Cards scored an unearned run in the top of the first inning and the Javelinas followed with two unearned runs in the bottom half of the frame. Jake Mendiola (Kingsville/Richland Northeast HS) drove in both runs with a two-out single.In the third inning, the Cardinals tied it up. After two outs, Derrick walls doubled and scored on Pena's base hit two batters later.The tie did not last long as the Javelinas answered in the bottom of the third inning. Ben Villafuerte (Corpus Christi/Carroll HS) led off the inning with a double and scored on Cameron Dullnig's (San Antonio/Clark HS) sacrifice fly. The team followed with four consecutive singles to score two more runs and take a 5-2 lead.The score remained that way until the fifth inning when Walls started another two-out rally for the Cardinals. He singled and scored on Taylor Rinn's double and then Rinn came home on a double by Pena, his third RBI of the game.Javelina starting pitcher Zach Pettiford (San Diego, CA/Henry HS) settled down in the sixth inning with a perfect frame. He was pulled in the seventh inning and finished with 6.1 innings allowing six hits, three earned runs and two walks while striking out five. Jeremy Flores (Victoria/Memorial HS) and Denver Diefenbach (Victoria/St. Joseph's HS) each pitched a third of an inning to finish out the seventh.Javelina head coach Jason Gonzales called upon his closer Dullnig at the start of the eighth inning to get the final six outs. He did just that retiring all six batters he faced to pick up his school-record 10th save of the season. Black added a solo home run in the eighth inning to give the team an insurance run.Black led the offense with three hits, two RBI's and a run scored. Villafuerte had two hits and scored twice while Mendiola had two hits and drove in two runs. Pettiford improved to 5-1 on the year.Jorge Guarneros took the loss for the Cardinals. He went 6.1 innings allowing nine hits, three earned runs and four walks while striking out three. Walls, Rinn and Pena accounted for all seven hits and four runs that the offense produced.Dullnig had his 21-game hitting streak snapped in the second game by going 0-for-2 with a run scored, a walk and a sacrifice fly.The Javelinas will now wait to see who they will meet in the conference tournament that begins next Saturday in San Angelo.

The saying "fighting like cats and dogs" had to come from somewhere. But in Janis Cook's experience, the phrase was far from reality. When she brought a service dog into the household that her cat had ruled for years, the Annandale, Virginia, pet owner was pleasantly surprised to see that the dog and cat actually got along well.
"The cat was very cautious for a while," says Cook. "I made sure that the cat could jump away and escape. And the dog was very well trained. There was no problem at all. It just wasn't an issue."
Success, indeed, can happen. How well they get along together will depend on your pet's personality, socialization, and how you prepare it for the addition of a Snoopy or Snowball, say animal behavior experts. Here are some tips on what to consider about your feline before adding a mutt to your hut, as well as advice on how to maintain household harmony if you're set on living with both cats and dogs.
A Tale of Two Different SpeciesThe first step to making the perfect match is to understand and respect the behaviors that make cats and dogs unique. Dogs are pack animals and like to be around humans. Cats can also bond with their owners, but they tend to be more territorial in your home. Dogs like to play chase; cats may view the game as a threat. But, aside from generalizations, most dogs and cats seem to have their own unique dispositions. "There are dogs who get on well with cats and cats who get along well with dogs," says Dr. Nicholas Dodman, DVM, director of the animal behavior clinic at Tufts University's Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine and author of Dogs Behaving Badly and The Cat Who Cried for Help (Bantam). "But there is no guarantee of success."
Know Your Pet and its BackgroundOne way to gauge whether a cat and dog will live in peace is if they have been raised with the other species. The attitudes of cats and dogs toward each other crystallize during their early development in the first few months of life, Dodman says. "Dogs raised in a household with cats are accustomed to them and may see them as they do a piece of furniture," Dodman says. Some questions to ask about your cat: Was it raised in a family that had dogs? Are dogs completely alien to it? Cats have, on occasion, caused dogs serious harm, such as scratching the cornea of a dog's eye with their claws. For pets rescued or adopted at an older age, the questions about background may never be answered. Another key factor is a dog's breed. Dodman recounts how a graduate student adopted a pit bull and brought it into a home with four cats. "They all got along well for a few days," he says. "But one cat may have darted or moved the wrong way and woke the sleeping predatory giant." The dog wound up killing the cats.
Introducing a New Pet in Your HomeFocusing on less aggressive breeds, many cat owners have added pet dogs into their household with few problems. Dodman recommends taking the following steps to help ease the transition and to test whether or not this will be a happy marriage:
Quite possibly, your pets will live in peace like Cook's. "They just learned to get along," she says. "The cat would play with the dog's tail and she'd just let her."

A catering giant caught up in the horsemeat scandal has supplied burgers to the Scottish Parliament.
Sodexo, which provides services at over 2,000 outlets including schools, care homes and the armed forces, withdrew beef from its UK sites after a frozen product tested positive for horse DNA.
It said the situation was "totally unacceptable" and the products were being recalled "with immediate effect".
A Scottish Parliament spokeswoman said that, while written assurance had been received from Sodexo that supplies to Holyrood are not affected, its beef burgers have been taken off the menu there.
"Sodexo supplies only one frozen meat product to the Parliament, a beef burger, and purely as a precautionary measure, we have withdrawn it," she said.
"Sodexo have said: 'The service at the Scottish Parliament is not affected regarding the equine DNA issue'." which tested positive for equine DNA. This situation is totally unacceptable.
"We felt the only appropriate response was to withdraw not only this product but all frozen beef products. We will only re-admit into our catering operations products that have affirmatively passed DNA testing, pursuant to laboratory test criteria."
The company has launched an investigation into how beef products were contaminated with horse.

Minnie lived an independent life and was very active in her community. In early March, she was on an airplane to Florida with her family when she became lethargic. Minnie was admitted to a short-term acute care hospital and underwent a complete assessment. She was diagnosed with respiratory failure, septic shock, low blood pressure, congestive heart failure and an enlarged small bowel.
Once her condition stabilized, Minnie was transferred to Kindred Hospital Pittsburgh – North Shore for continued care.
Minnie was admitted to Kindred Hospital on March 24. At that time she had an NG tube for nutrition/hydration and was dependent for all mobility and self care.
A few weeks after admission, her condition had further stabilized and she was able to transfer to the lower-intensity level of care for continued rehabilitation in the Kindred Subacute Rehabilitation Unit.
In the North Shore Subacute Unit, Minnie was able to receive the intensive therapy and care she needed, provided within the continuum of care at Kindred Hospital Pittsburgh – North Shore. For four weeks, she received physical, occupational and speech therapy, including vital stimulation for dysphagia.
On May 28, Minnie’s health had improved so much that she was able to be discharged home independently. Upon discharge she was walking over 250 feet with a wheeled walker, completing all of her own self care and managing a regular diet with thin liquids.
Kindred Hospital Pittsburgh – North Shore and the North Shore Subacute Unit are proud to have been given the opportunity to take care of this wonderful patient.

We believe in educating our patients, residents and family members.

What to Know About Health Savings Accounts
My employer is offering a high-deductible health-insurance policy next year but isn’t contributing anything to a health savings account. Can I contribute money to an HSA on my own and, if so, can I get a tax break?
Yes and yes. More employers plan to offer high-deductible health-insurance policies during open-enrollment season this year, and 20% of the large employers surveyed by the National Business Group on Health intend to make a consumer-directed health plan (generally a high-deductible policy) their only health-insurance choice in 2011. Many employers like high-deductible policies because raising the deductible not only lowers premiums but also tends to motivate workers to be more careful with their own health-care costs when they’re paying part of the bills themselves. (See Health-Insurance Changes for 2011 for more information.)
Advertisement
Some employers are also contributing money to employees’ health savings accounts as a way to encourage employees to pick the high-deductible policies. But you can contribute to an HSA on your own, even if your employer doesn’t add any money to the account. To qualify for a health savings account in 2010, your health-insurance policy must have a deductible of at least $1,200 if you have self-only coverage, or $2,400 if you have family coverage. Then you can contribute up to $3,050 to an HSA for the year if you have self-only coverage, or up to $6,150 if you have family coverage. (If you’re 55 or older, you can contribute an extra $1,000 for the year.) The deductible and contribution limits will remain at the same levels for 2011.
You’ll get big tax benefits from the HSA. If your employer offers a high-deductible health-insurance policy, you may be able to make pretax contributions to the HSA, as you would with a flexible-spending account. If you open the HSA on your own, your contributions will be deductible when you file your tax return, even if you don’t itemize. Then the money grows tax-deferred and can be used tax-free in any year for medical expenses that aren’t covered by insurance -- such as deductibles, co-payments, prescription drugs, vision and dental care, and other out-of-pocket medical costs. (Starting in 2011, however, you cannot use tax-advantaged money from an HSA for over-the-counter drugs that are not prescribed by a doctor.) See What Health Reform Means for FSAs and HSAs for more information.
You’ll have to pay a 10% penalty (20% beginning in 2011) -- plus an income-tax bill -- if you use HSA money for nonmedical expenses before age 65. You’ll pay taxes, but no penalty, for nonmedical withdrawals after that. Unlike a flexible-spending account, money you don’t use from the HSA for the year can remain in the account for the future, and you can keep the account even after you leave your job. You can make future contributions to the HSA, however, only for months that you have a high-deductible health-insurance policy.
You can’t contribute to an HSA after you sign up for Medicare, but you can still use money in the account tax-free for medical expenses -- including Medicare Advantage, Medicare Part B and Medicare Part D premiums and part of your long-term-care premiums, in addition to out-of-pocket medical expenses.
If you buy insurance on your own -- if, for example, your employer doesn’t offer health insurance or you’re self-employed -- you can still contribute to a health savings account and benefit from the tax break as long as you have an eligible high-deductible health-insurance policy.

WARTIME
Understanding And Behavior In The Second World War
By Paul Fussell
Pub Date
:
Sept. 7th, 1989
ISBN
:
0195037979
Publisher
:
Oxford Univ.
In this engaging, elegant, and enlightening study of WW II. Fussell (
Class
;
Abroad
;
Samuel Johnson and the Life of Writing
, etc.) continues the revelatory work he did in his National Book Award-winning
The Great War and Modern Memory
(1975). By turns amusing and shocking, Fussell's unforgivingly cleareyed vision takes in both official and uncensored ephemera--along with published accounts--to overturn the upbeat view of the war promulgated by both the government's publicity machine and the general media. Beginning with a discussion of our total unpreparedness and general incompetence--"precision" bombing often fell on our own troops; the RAF were in danger from their own frightened ground support--Fussell turns to the popular rumors, slang, stories, and humor of the troops. A chapter on "chickenshit" reveals loathsome small-mindedness endemic in the system; the chapter title "Drinking Far Too Much, Copulating Too Little" nicely sums up the G.I.'s preoccupations. But Fussell is at his best as he examines the forced high-mindedness of official wartime rhetoric and the growth of "Accentuate the Positive"-toned publicity as a distinctly essential facet of modern war. Finishing with a survey of wartime literature, including Cyril Connolly's Horizon magazine and the paperback publishing programs that flowered with the war, he concludes that even now "America has not yet understood what the Second World War was like. . ." Funny, upsetting, at times brilliantly illuminating.

Most of the individuals in these austerely written stories by Swiss novelist Stamm (Unformed Landscape, 2005, etc.) lead humdrum but desperate lives.
To read all 20, assembled from two volumes of stories published separately in German, is to visit a literary purgatory where a throng of dispirited characters cling to a comfortless bare rock of prose. His characters, whether Swiss or Costa Rican, visiting New York or working in London, share a world culture of Alec Guinness, Tracy Chapman, Walt Whitman and Star Trek that does nothing to bring them closer together. Many of these stories involve love that fails or a despairing plea for help or solace that goes unanswered. In “Like a Child, Like an Angel,” a wealthy Swiss accountant never responds to a letter from a poor colleague who needs an expensive medicine for his wife. In “The Wall of Fire,” an exploited outcast working for a carnival puts himself at risk to impress a girl to whom he means almost nothing. The narrator of “What We Can Do” rebuffs the embarrassed advances of a sad office mate to whom their mutual colleagues have given the cruel gift of a vibrator. “Black Ice” is perhaps the bleakest: Larissa, a young mother dying of a resistant strain of tuberculosis tells “everything she had thought in the last few months” to a journalist because no one else—not even her husband—has visited her for months. The misery radiates to the smallest details. Larissa mentions a neighbor with a broken TV “who keeps switching it on anyway and staring at the black screen.” In Stamm’s world, when three young friends laugh and sunbathe on a station platform, they do so only until a train pulls up to unload the corpse of a suppliant who has died on the way to Lourdes.
While Stamm doesn't discount the possibility of happiness and comradeship, there is invariably an ounce of joy for every pound of gloom.

An Act Relative to Transgender Equal Rights
House Bill filed by Rep. Carl Sciortino & Rep. Byron Rushing
Senate Bill filed by Sen. Benjamin Downing and Sen. Sonia Chang-Díaz
Summary and Background
The Transgender Equal Rights Bill. The bill defines gender identity and expression as "a gender-related identity, appearance, expression, or behavior of an individual, regardless of the individual's assigned sex at birth." This is consistent with the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination’s past decisions, as well as Boston’s 2002 transgender anti-discrimination ordinance.
What does "gender identity" and "gender expression" mean?
Gender identity is one’s internal, personal sense of being a man or a woman. Most people don’t experience a difference between their sex and their gender identity. For transgender people, however, the sex they were born as and their own internal sense of gender identity do not match. Therefore, transgender people will change their gender to match their internal sense of themselves. Gender expression refers to how a person expresses their gender identity, or the cues people use to identify another person’s gender. This can include clothing, makeup, behavior, speech patterns, and mannerisms.
Why is it needed?
Transgender people in Massachusetts frequently encounter unequal treatment in employment, schools, housing, public accommodations, and access to health care. They also report high incidences of violence and harassment. During a 10-month period in 2009 and 2010, MTPC and other organizations that serve transgender people received 297 calls from transgender men and women seeking assistance. Callers ranged from a man who had been fired from his job after he was outed as transgender, to a man whose health insurer refused to process his health care claim because it did not recognize his new, legal name, to a woman who’d been attacked with a beer bottle by passersby who called her a "freak" as she walked down the street. A July 2009 report by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health found that only 92.3 percent of transgender residents have health insurance, compared with 98 percent of all state residents. The report concludes: "Support of non-discrimination protection for transgender persons could help reduce stigma and by extension, improve health."
Is MA the first to include "gender identity or expression" in non-discrimination law?
No. Nationwide,
15 states, Washington D.C., and 136 cities and counties
(including Boston, Cambridge, Amherst, and Northampton) have passed non-discrimination laws or ordinances protecting people on this basis. States included are: California, Colorado, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Minnesota, New Jersey, New Mexico, Rhode Island, Vermont, Iowa, Oregon, and Washington. Many employers based in Mass. and others that are operating in Mass. have already adopted non-discrimination policies that include gender identity and expression, including Bank of America, John Hancock Financial Services, Microsoft, Prudential Financial, and Harvard Pilgrim Health Care.
Is MA the first to include "gender identity or expression" in hate crimes law?
No. 10 states and Washington D.C. have included gender identity and gender expression in hate crimes laws: California, Colorado, Connecticut, Hawaii, Maryland, Minnesota, Missouri, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, and Vermont. Additionally, the
Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act
adds sexual orientation, gender identity, gender and disability to existing Federal law.
What do the governor’s two executive orders related to gender identity and expression do?
These orders prohibit discrimination based on gender identity and expression. They cover 43,500 executive branch employees. Additionally, 652 statewide and department-specific contracts linked to over 13,500 active vendors are impacted by these orders. However, a statewide bill is necessary to protect all residents of the Commonwealth from discrimination.
Key Events in Support of Passing An Act Relative to Transgender Equal Rights H 502/S764This fact sheet was developed by MTPC, GLAD, MassEquality and the Transgender Equal Rights Coalition For more information visit January 2011
Nearly 100 constituents turn out (during a snowstorm) to lobby their legislators to cosponsor the Transgender Equal Rights Bill.
The bill is re-filed with 68 cosponsors, putting it in the top 10 percent of bills filed in terms of the number of cosponsors.

Transgender Political Coalition’s Lawyers for Transgender Rights Event, during which she calls for passage of the Transgender Equal Rights Bill and pledges to work to get it passed. Coakley also notes that her office has implemented policies prohibiting discrimination against transgender people.
May 2011
The Williams Institute on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Law and Public Policy releases a study showing that employment discrimination against transgender residents of the Commonwealth likely costs the state millions annually in lost income tax revenue and expenditures on public assistance programs.
State Auditor Suzanne Bump’s office implements policies prohibiting discrimination against transgender people.

President Obama signs the Matthew Shepard Act, expanding federal hate crime law to include crimes motivated by a victim’s gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or disability.
December 2009

White handles and white pulls look beautiful on cabinets and drawers of all colors and sizes. Made from plastic, ceramic or porcelain, white cabinet hardware can add class to any space without costing a fortune. White handles and knobs will not chip or fade over time and will create a crisp, fresh look in any space - even after years of regular use.
White handles are available in a variety of styles, from solid white varieties to white handles with brass accents or colorful painted designs. White handles can also be gracefully curved or playfully twisted into eye-catching shapes that will stand out against dark cabinetry. Likewise, white knobs can add spots of lightness to dark cabinetry and can merge beautifully against white cabinets as well. Painted white cabinet knobs can add subtle splashes of color to small spaces such as bathrooms and bedrooms, while solid white knobs can add drama to even the darkest kitchen cabinets.
White cabinet hardware can be used to create a country look, a modern look and everything in between. Mix and match white pulls and white knobs for an eye-catching design, or choose one pattern of white cabinet hardware for a fully integrated look. No matter what you choose, white handles and knobs will complete the look of your space brilliantly.

WASHINGTON A landmark scientific report that was supposed to bridge the gap between proponents and opponents of human embryonic stem cell research has become the focus of an escalating feud.</p> <p>At issue is a series of experiments described in Thursday's issue of the journal Nature, in which scientists at Advanced Cell Technology described a method for making stem cells without harming a human embryo. </p> <p>The basic facts of the report remain unchallenged. But in an unusual move, Nature corrected wording in a lay-language news release.</p> <p>At the core of the battle is a widely distributed e-mail from Richard Doerflinger of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.</p> <p>He said the scientists did not make clear that no embryos survived their experiments. In fact, data in the paper do make that clear, but Nature's initial release said otherwise. It is well established that a single cell can be removed from an eight-cell human embryo without causing any apparent harm to the embryo, and the new report aimed only to show that such single cells can become stem cells, said lead researcher Robert Lanza. In the experiments, the scientists took as many cells as they could from each embryo, destroying them in the process, to make the most of the embryos donated for their study.</p> <p>Another point of contention is a photo of a mature embryo, healthy and poised to grow into a fetus after having survived the removal of a single cell. Doerflinger said the photo is deceptive because no embryos in the experiment were allowed to develop that far.</p> <p>In his e-mail, Doerflinger said the use of the photo was reminiscent of the fraud case that brought down South Korean stem cell researcher Hwang Woo Suk.</p> <p>Lanza said the criticism is a sign of how politicized stem cell research has become.</p> <p>"They're really going after everything they can," Lanza said. "They've got the whole machine geared.

Oahu's ban on fireworks, is it working or not? Honolulu police just released the number of citations and arrests from firework violations over the holiday.
Aerial fireworks have been illegal for years, but the law didn't stop people from using them this past New Year's Eve. On Oahu, the city banned all fireworks like sparklers and fountains on Jan. 2nd 2010.
"I really don't think it works at all on New Year's Eve. When I was in Aiea there were fireworks everywhere even the house I was at lit off fireworks," said Angela Dominici.
"When I was at home I heard a lot of fireworks, and so I think people probably bought extras before they put the ban up," said Karina Shea.
Still, others say the ban has made a big impact on their fun.
"There was definitely less fireworks this year than other years," said Mark Chell.
"When I stopped by Kaneohe you smell it but not as much as before," said Diana Venegas.
There have been consequences for those who risked celebrating with illegal fireworks. Between Dec. 26th and Jan. 2nd of this year HPD officers issued 80 citations and two people were arrested.
But many said they just want the ban lifted.
"So not as fun boring by comparison no where near as fun," said Beate Chell.
"Fireworks is tradition -- you can't step on tradition like that," said Venegas.
Since the ban started, fireworks complaints have almost cut in half. This past New Year's Eve there were about 590 complaints. That's a lot less than the New Year's Eve before the ban, when there were more than 1,400 complaints.

Labour = spammersJune 21st, 2011 at 12:00 pm by David Farrar
Thousands of people who signed an early childhood education petition have had their email addresses added to a Labour Party database, with leader Phil Goff saying it was solely to let people know the outcome of the campaign.
The email addresses, taken from a New Zealand Educational Institute (NZEI) postcard campaign against cuts to early childhood education, were added to a database of about 18,000 people that could be freely downloaded from Labour’s website until the problem was fixed last weekend.
Right-wing blogger Cameron Slater, who obtained a copy of the database, said on his website that NZEI national secretary Paul Goulter had written to petition signatories to explain why their addresses had been added to the database.
The letter said the postcards were given last year to Labour early childhood education spokeswoman Sue Moroney, who had agreed to present them to Prime Minister John Key because no Government MPs would do so.
Mr Key has not yet accepted the postcards..
The NZEI in its letter said only some campaign signatories had received Ms Moroney’s letter.
NZEI had made it clear to the Labour Party that it was “very concerned” about the database breach and had asked for the addresses to be deleted.
This is blatant spam. If the petition was a Labour Party petition then you could argue there is inferred consent. But it was an NZEI petition and no reasonable person could infer that signing an NZEI petition would land you on the Labour Party e-mail database.
Sadly Labour can not be prosecuted for spamming, as only commercial spam is an offence under the law. The Privacy Commissioner should be concerned though about Labour’s attitude towards privacy.Tags: Labour, NZEI, spam

If this had happened in Australia Labour would be in a world of hurt. The AU antispam laws are much more strict and whether or not a message is technically spam depends on only three things:
- the message must be sent to you with your consent
– the message must contain accurate information about the person or organisation that authorised the sending of the message
- the message must contain a functional ‘unsubscribe’ facility to allow you to opt out of receiving messages from that source
If ANY ONE of those conditions is not met, the sender is liable for big fines.Vote:

Except it wasn’t just to inform people of the result of the petition, it was to try and gain support for Labour initiatives.

We know this because the idiots had the email they were going to send sitting on an unsecure website just waiting to be found by Whale…:

As the article itself states several times and indeed as reading Whales blogs makes clear the people who signed the petition did not go onto the Labour email database. Their data was compiled into a contact list from which to inform them about the result of the campaign which is an entirely different thing.Vote:
June 21st, 2011 at 4:15 pm
Rob, the Labour party had no right to compile a list to contact them for any reason what so ever. The fact that they kept the list separate from their main email database (so as to target their spam better) does not change the fact they illegally harvested the email addresses and sent unsolicited email aka spam to them. You could almost make an arguement for implied consent for NZEI to contact them regarding the results of the campaign, but this was not a Labour campaign and people did not give any consent for Labour to be given or hold onto their information.Vote:

Learn to read. It wasn’t illegal. When someone signs a petition with no privacy statement then in certain circumstances (ie, the prime minister refuses the petition) then you could end up being contacted by the people who were forwarding the petition on behalf of NZEI.Vote:

No, not it doesn’t. Agencies have an obligation to protect data, the NZEI had one to the people who signed their petition.Vote:

questlove When someone signs a petition with no privacy statement then in certain circumstances (ie, the prime minister refuses the petition) then you could end up being contacted by the people who were forwarding the petition on behalf of NZEI.
The absense of a privacy statement does not mean a third party has the right to collect the data and use it. An explicit privacy statement (with opt in) is needed to allow this.Vote:
June 21st, 2011 at 5:48 pm
Why the hell didn’t NZEI give it to the Greens? They agree with the petitioners, would have readily presented the petition, don’t engage in privacy abuses, and actually want to tighten information privacy law.
@dog_eat_dog 5:31 pm
Yes, I agree they do. But the fuck-up here is with Labour, not NZEI. NZEI just asked a Labour MP to present their petition, which necessarily involves handing the petition over to that MP (see suggestion above for next time, NZEI).Vote:

"Brutus is packing a punch" or ” Walda will produce 15 inches of snow" and "Q is responsible for icy roads."
Sounds odd, but that's what you might hear this winter. The Weather Channel (TWC) has decided it will begin naming major winter events, just as tropical storms and hurricanes are given names to identify them.
Why? TWC says it is to help us.
"Our goal is to better communicate the threat and the timing of the significant impacts that accompany these events."
They will not name each and every event, just the noteworthy winter events. I wonder if that includes 5 inches of snow in Bartlesville? Do we get a name for that? It's noteworthy if you live in Bartlesville.
In the past, winter storms were named things such as "The President’s Day Storm” and “Snowmageddon.” Before this new list, here in the U.S., we've not had an effort for a naming system. So here is the list of names they will use this winter.
When I read the comment section on TWC's site I found some interesting remarks:
Wxrisk.com - " This is the STUPIDEST thing that the awful weather channel has done in long time."
A few posters noted that some insurance companies charge the customers more if it is a named storm and believe this could be an excuse for some insurance companies to charge you more.
Jeanne Germano · "Have you guys thought this through? My home owner's insurance has a $500 deductible for storm damage. However, there is a clause that states that if the damage is caused by a named storm, the deductible goes up to 10% of the damage repair costs. Your cute game of naming winter storms is going to cost a lot of people a lot of money."
Poster David L Backlin looked through the list and noticed the name Gandolf listed.
(TWC says it is NOT a misspelling of the famous Gandalf. That Gandolf is simply another character from another book. I'm not buying that.)
David made this observation and suggested a promotion for TWC: "Here's how it works: We have a Severe Weather Bulletin for Winter Storm Gandalf, but first: Storm Stories, followed by When Weather Changed History. Then stay tuned for Coast Guard Florida and Turbine Cowboys."
That one made me laugh...only because it is too true.
I'm waiting on the next big ice storm to hit Green Country. I will remind them to not blame me, it's all because of Zeus!
TWC's thought is if the media keeps talking about "Yogi" enough, maybe some viewers will take action that they otherwise wouldn't. I think the original intention may be noble but fearful think this is mostly done for ratings. That just my opinion.
What do you think about this? Tell me below or check out my Facebook page .

Weather Headlines
Officials awaited daybreak to fully assess the scope of the destruction left in the wake of a deadly tornado in Granbury.
On May 3, 1999 an EF-5 tornado tore through Oklahoma, claiming 44 lives. The twister produced the strongest winds ever recorded at the time.
Fourteen years ago, an F5 tornado paved a path of destruction through Oklahoma that left more than three dozen dead and massive damage in its wake.

Concert Information and Family Fun
Posted: 11:11 a.m. Monday, Dec. 10, 2012
By Cheryl Lock
Creating a bucket list can be both awesomely fun and amazingly daunting. The trick to the ultimate bucket list is to include both “reach” items and things that would be easy to accomplish (because honestly, what’s the point if you aren’t having fun with it?).
If you’re at a loss for where to begin on your own awesomely achievable 2013 bucket list, consider starting with a few of these ideas, any of which would be sure to make the new year a really good one:
Get a Journal
Oprah Winfrey has been journaling since she was 15. “In my 40s … I started using journals to express my gratitude—and watched my blessings multiple,” she has said. Those are just a few of the reasons why we love journaling so much. Not only is it fun to look back on what we’ve written over the years, journaling can also be very cathartic. Whatever we’re going through at the time, it always makes us feel better to take five minutes to write our feelings out in a journal.
Start a Book Club
If you’re anything like us, sometimes we need a little motivation to do certain things, like exercise more, or read more books. Starting a book club is an easy way to make reading fun. You’ll be exposed to books that you never even knew existed if everyone in your club takes turns picking which books to read, and book clubs are a great way to bond with friends (and potentially make some new ones!), too.
Open a Roth IRA
It can be hard to concentrate on having fun in the new year when you’re worried about finances. When you open a Roth IRA, you’re making a decision to invest in your future, which will help put your mind at ease a bit in the present. Roth IRAs are a good choice for a retirement account because the maximum amount you can contribute ($5,500 for 2013) isn’t too daunting, and you won’t be taxed on your savings when you remove that money in the future to use for retirement.
Of course there are stipulations and other rules to keep in mind. Find out more about Roth IRA accounts, eligibility requirements and stipulations here.
Plan a Trip
Vacation doesn’t have to be exotic or uber expensive. Of course, if you have the money and are interested in traveling to an exotic local, by all means you should. However, if you’d love to take a fun trip, but aren’t sure where to get started finding a place to go or don’t want to spend a ton getting there, there are still ways to have a getaway without stressing yourself out or going broke. Start with your budget. Figure out how much you’d like to spend on the trip and, if possible, consider setting up a separate savings account to start socking away for your expedition every month. This will make it easier to pay for the trip when the time comes. (Also consider some of the other ways you can save on travel, like booking hotel and flights together through sites like Orbitz or Expedia, and consider flying out on an off-peak day, like a Tuesday or a Wednesday).
Then you’ll just need to figure out where you’d like to go. Start by considering how far you’d like to travel, and whether or not you’d prefer to drive or fly. That will help narrow down your destination options. Then consider what type of travel you’d like to do. Are you looking for adventure, or do you prefer hitting up an amazing spa or hanging out by a pool all day? Use that to narrow your search even more. Then, hit the Internet. Tripadvisor has reliable, extensive advice on any area you can imagine by travelers just like you who have been there, done that, and Yelp can help you find some amazing (and reasonably priced!) restaurants and bars once you get there.
Try Cooking at Least Three Times a Week
Unless you’re a chef at heart, it’s often difficult to think about cooking dinner when it’s so much easier to order out. Think of it this way though: making an effort to cook more and eat out less will help both your waistline and your wallet. The thing to do is to set an easy goal for yourself when first getting started. Setting the goal of cooking at least three times a week is probably reachable—especially if you make it fun by trying to test out new recipes or inviting friends and family over to partake in your newfound hobby.

By Stephanie Tweito JacobFrom Life & Beauty Weekly
Your schedule is packed enough as it is. But when you add the extras required before a party -- finding a baby sitter, buying a gift for the hostess, etc. -- things can get as hectic as Times Square on New Year's Eve.
Who has time for makeup?
Actually, you do! A festive party calls for a little more makeup than your everyday swipe of lip gloss, and it's surprisingly easy to liven up your look and still be out the door in a flash.
The trick: Stick with the natural look you usually have but use makeup to play up your best feature -- either your lips, cheeks or eyes.
"Enhancing one part helps you look polished, refreshed, beautiful and not overly made up," says Maria Verel, a celebrity makeup artist in New York City.
Pick the one feature that people have always complimented, suggests Verel. Then follow these steps to create a simple, pretty look in less time than it took to choose your outfit.
Holiday Lips
1. Go for a bright shade of lipstick."A bright color highlights lips," says Joette Balsamo, a makeup artist based in New York City. "Bright colors pull things forward; dark colors hide and shrink." For a safe bet, pick one that's one or two shades brighter than your lips' natural tone.
If you're feeling more daring, branch out from the pinks. Soft coral shades compliment fair skin, cherry reds pop next to medium-toned complexion and cranberry is best for darker skin tones, says Balsamo.
2. Dust on pressed powder.To help your color stay on (and stay true), apply powder to lips before applying lipstick, says Verel.
3. Use a lip brush.A brush gives you more control than swiping straight from the tube. That means you'll achieve an even application and a neater lip line, which are especially important with brighter shades.
4. Go with light makeup elsewhere.To keep lips in the spotlight, apply a neutral, shimmery eye shadow, curl lashes and swipe on mascara. Dust bronzer all over your face for a warm complexion.
Cheerful Cheeks
1. Pinch cheeks to determine your shade.Your most flattering blush color mimics a natural flush, says Balsamo. If skin is dark and you don't see skin flush, pick a bright-fuchsia blush, which appears subtle and rosy on cheeks. Opt for a powder formula versus a cream because powders blend more quickly and easily.
2. Apply blush to the apples of cheeks.Dip a fluffy blush brush into the powder, tap the handle on the back of your hand to shake off excess and smile. Place the brush on the apples of cheeks and swirl it in a circular motion.
3. Add a little shimmer.Using your finger, tap shimmery powder highlighter on the skin above the apples of your cheeks (below your under-eyes, where you would apply concealer). This adds a soft glow and highlights cheekbones, which can make your face look slimmer, says Balsamo.
4. Give lips and eyes subtle shine.A soft-pink lip gloss or balm gives definition without stealing the focus from cheeks. For eyes, dab on shimmery beige shadow, curl your lashes and apply mascara.
Festive Eyes
1. Apply a neutral shimmer shadow.With a fluffy brush, sweep a shimmery beige-gold or peach eye shadow over your entire lid. The soft sparkle makes eyes look brighter.
2. Line eyes with shadow to emphasize shape.Dampen a small eyeliner brush and press it into a black matte eye shadow. (Wet shadow glides over lids more easily and looks more natural than pencil liner.) Starting at the inner corner of your eye, drag the brush along your upper lash line. Push the shadow into eyelash roots to make lashes look thicker. Don't bother lining the bottom lid, says Verel. It may make eyes seem smaller.
3. Smudge and blend.Using a cotton swab, gently smudge the line for a more natural effect.
4. Curl and lengthen lashes.Curl your lashes to open and brighten eyes. Press the wand of a black mascara into lash roots, then wiggle the brush from side to side as you brush through. Next, hold the wand vertically, and lightly feather along the tips of lashes to bring out more fullness and length.
5. Think pink for lips and cheeks.Balance dramatic lashes and defined eyes with sheer pink lip gloss or balm and sheer cream blush. This keeps your face bright and won't seem overdone next to your festive eyes.

This is the first of a 2-part series looking at some of the best players in the 2013 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament. Part 1 looks at standouts from the Big 6 conferences. Part 2, coming Thursday, will discuss the best of the mid-majors.
(RNN) – The commoners are creeping closer, but basketball's nobles still hold the castle surrounding the NCAA national championship.
Teams from the Big 6 – ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, Big East, Pac 12 and SEC – have won the last 22 titles. The most recent time a squad outside the major programs walked away from the Big Dance as champions was in 1990, when UNLV won it all.
Last season was a return to dominance for the power schools; only Ohio of the Mid-American Conference and the Atlantic 10's Xavier made it into the second week of play.
That bucked the trend of previous tournaments when mid-majors broke past the gates of the Sweet Sixteen – most notably Butler, which was in the final game two years in a row.
But 2012 was also an outlier in the terms of the talent pool. Many top freshman from 2011 stayed in school another year – most at Big 6 programs – and the incoming class of newbies was one of the strongest in a decade.
With that pool a little more shallow, the Butlers, Gonzagas and New Mexicos have a much better chance of ending that 22-year streak.
Four of the nation's top players - Trey Burke, Shane Larkin, Victor Oladipo and Mason Plumlee - lead four of the favorites from the Big 6 this year. They will be working to see the reign of excellence last at least one more season.

CHESTERFIELD, Mo. (KMOV.com) -- A program in the St. Louis area lets students try out real jobs while they are still in middle school.
Junior Achievement of Greater St. Louis emphasizes work readiness, entrepreneurship and financial literacy to the young adults who come through its doors.
Students are given life scenarios, taught how to balance a budget and about the importance of saving.
"I've been teaching for 13 years, and this is the best field trip we have ever gone on because the kids are doing what they're actually going to do in real life," said Stacey Geluck, a 5th grade teacher at Whiteside Middle School. "It's the closest they're going to get to being in real life until they're there, until they're done with college."
The organization runs with the help of many volunteers and community donations. To learn more about Junior Achievement of Greater St. Louis, visit.

Mike Smith has been riding his bike on the stretch of road near Willow and Friant for a while.
"Been riding along here for probably 25 years," Smith said.
He says aggressive drivers are common.
"Probably the worst thing I've had thrown at me is somebody tossed a full bottle of water at me," Smith said.
Nathan Oreizi has experienced them too.
"A few cases where people throw glass or just objects," Oreizi said.
But it reached a whole new level Tuesday, when an off-duty sheriff's deputy was shot while riding his bike in the same area.
"I was surprised. I didn't think they were that ruthless, but I guess that's just the way people are," Oreizi said.
Bicyclists say, though the threat of being shot at is pretty extreme, they do know they run the risk of becoming a target.
But they say that won't stop them from going for a ride.
"This sort of thing can happen anywhere any time for any reason. If we lock ourselves in our houses, which is basically what you have to do, if you really want to be totally safe, then those people win and you can't do that," Smith said.
"You hear about something like this and it just makes you want to go out there even more. Hopefully one day they'll learn to respect us. Because if you stop, they'll never respect us," Oreizi said.
The bicyclists we spoke with did say, although they've seen aggression from some drivers, most drivers on the road are courteous towards bicycle riders.

Modification Monday: Taschenpulli
Original Pattern: Brea Bag
Knitter Extraordiniare: Sannah (Ravelry ID)
Mods: Knitted four of the original pattern and assembled into a sweater, adding ribbing for the sleeves, hem, and neck. Details on her project page, which can be found here.
What Makes This Awesome: I have never imagined turning a bag into a sweater, but holy smokes, does it ever work. I am absolutely in love with Sannah's beautiful sweater-the cabled design of the original pattern looks like snowflakes when laid out flat (as opposed to being sewn together to make the bag). A bit of seaming and a lot of ribbing makes this sweater my ideal winter sweater- cozy, easy to wear, and totally gorgeous.

Last weekend, we were fortunate to be able to make a longer visit back home to Birmingham.
John made the call to drive on Wednesday night, so Sarah would sleep more and we could make better time. That was a great call, because she slept from just east of Beaumont to just west of Tuscaloosa. We swapped off a couple of times, tried the 5 Hour Energy, which worked surprisingly well, and then went back to sleep pretty quickly after we made a stop in Cottondale.
I slept a little on Thursday morning, but was pretty much awake (I have a hard time sleeping during the day. My body is just up, so I deal with it) so I took Sarah to my Mom's office so we could have lunch. Afterwards, I got my hair cut at my step{sister}'s salon, and we headed for home.
Friday, Mom and I went shopping while John and Kevin headed out to their first day at the track. It was a good day. We got to visit the new outlet malls near the Bass Pro Shop near the Barber Motorsports Park, and then went to Penney's in Trussville. We headed for home, and had dinner with my step{sisters} and their families. The boys were darling with Sarah. C2 was kind of skittish when we went back in February, but after C1 got there and wanted to play with her, he was fine.
Saturday we went to C1's soccer game, and then one of my aunts, my cousin, and her family came over to meet Sarah. That lasted most of the afternoon, and we had a quiet evening in.
Sunday, Sarah and I went to church with Mom while Zane, John and Kevin all went out to the track. Lunch at Mellow Mushroom, which I miss a lot, quick stop at Kohl's for more Sarah Shopping, and we spent the afternoon at home. I did a little laundry, got things packed up, and we enjoyed our last evening in Alabama.
Monday we hit the road before six a.m. and made it back to our apartment a little after five. We had a couple of extended stops, but it was a good trip back. Sarah did really well until that last little bit, but I think she was tired of the car seat, and quite frankly I was tired of the car too. John worked and fed her, laptop open in the back seat, one hand holding the bottle while he worked with the other.
We had a good trip. I got to spend a lot of time with Mom, and do a few things with the step{sisters} and their boys. It was really unusual for me; I get so used to doing everything by myself, or just with John. I went four whole days with other people who not only offered to help, but who just did. Someone was always there to hold her so I could eat or go to the restroom or get a bottle or whatever I needed to do. She had cousins to play with, and C1 wanted to hold her hand while she was in the stroller at his soccer game.
I could get used to that. That's honestly the thing I miss the most about being all the way out here in Houston. I miss my family. I miss just doing little things together. I dislike the fact I don't get to see too many of C1's soccer (or football or t-ball) games. I dislike the fact we won't be able to see the new addition, when C2's little sister/brother comes along. I haven't really made many friends out here, and it gets kind of lonely.
I'm trying to fix that. I think once I find a church I like, it will be better. I think once I get happier at work and fix that situation, it will get better. When Sarah is a little bigger and we can go play with friends, that will be better. I know I can't live my life waiting on things to happen, which is why I'm working the plan we laid out a few weeks ago to make things better. For now, I fake it when I have to until I can make it real.
But it was awfully good to be home.

Posted: Oct 18, 2011 5:35 PM by Matt Stafford
It was an unusual courtroom setting -- Fountain-Ft. Carson High School doesn't host many hearings -- and they were taking a look at an unusual case.
In 2006, Adams County rancher Daniel Bowen had lost several of his cattle to coyotes. He decided to poison them by putting an herbicide in some meat and leaving in an area the coyotes had been seen. Five local dogs ate the meat and died.
In court, the jury told Bowen to pay for the market value of the dogs, but not for extra damages -- like emotional distress.
The dog owners filed an appeal, saying the trial court made mistakes in the proceedings -- like giving incorrect instructions to jurors before they made their decision.
The appeal was heard in front of an auditorium of Fountain - Ft. Carson students; it was part of the Courts in the Community program -- teaching students about the legal system.
The defense argued that the case was handled correctly; that the plaintiffs had received what they sought in trial, and that they couldn't seek new damages that hadn't been proven in the trial.
Three judges heard the case; they'll form an opinion later on, sharing the results. It can be weeks before the parties know the outcome of the case.
"We look for cases that would be of interest particularly to students," Colorado Court of Appeals Judge Richard Gabriel.
"We got to hear like both sides of the story," says student Linda Davis.
A high school may not be the typical setting for an appeal, but everything went like it would have in court. The only thing that changed for today's hearings was the location.
"These are real cases; involving real people, and the lawyers are really doing their job and working very hard," says Judge Gabriel.
The attorneys even spent time to talking to the students about their jobs after their hearing.
It was a new experience for Davis, the student who said she enjoyed hearing both sides of the story. She's been thinking about becoming a lawyer, and got a dose of how it works on Tuesday.
"I don't know, I'm still trying to decide," says Davis, laughing.
Luckily Davis, and others who watched the case, still have time to figure it out; hopefully this helped.

The 41st International Balloon Fiesta is upon Albuquerque, and beyond the ascensions and food, the constant on many locals and tourists is the clothing and pins.
Jodi Webber's company runs the official merchandise for the Balloon Fiesta. She said come Saturday morning, it will be standing room only in her massive tents. She said there is one popular item in her store so far.
"We always do an official event hat, and we've added an official event pin to go with it," she said. And that is going really fast."
But the main thing most people ask about when they come into her store is about the official Balloon Fiesta T-shirt.
She said there is something about the T-shirt that makes people come back year after year.
"It has the name, Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta and the year, that's what just makes it so special and everybody wants that," Webber said.
One customer told us she prefers pins over anything else. She said she got the official shirt last year for the 40th anniversary, but she said this year has a more economic trend.
"We're looking for the sales. Get better deals on the sales. So it's good to come early. Last year we missed out on that early day," Tracey Moushon, of Illinois, said.
Things go quickly from merchandise tents, so Moushon suggests that if something catches the eye, do not hesitate.
Jodi Webber said things will be hectic over the weekend when it comes to buying things, and the smart shoppers wait until Monday to hit up the merchandise shops.

Journeying to the West: An Interview with Christina Stiles
Tell me what’s awesome about your new Kobold Press adventure anthology Journeys to the West.
It’s sea-faring adventure. What’s not awesome about high-seas escapades and exploration? Plus, we’ve thrown in enough new monsters and islands to keep a campaign going for quite some time. Although these are set in Midgard’s Western Ocean, a GM could really place them in any campaign with no trouble at all.

Prosecutors in Pottawatomie County reached a plea bargain with a man who led authorities on a pursuit in July.
Robert Almon, of Tecumseh, had his 3-year-old daughter and another child in the car, which prompted officials to issue an Amber Alert. Almon was arrested in southeast Norman after a brief standoff one day later.
Almon will serve a 10-year suspended sentence for eluding police and an unrelated assault charge. However, the kidnapping charge was dropped because Almon had joint custody of his daughter when the Amber Alert was issued.
The father of the boy who was in the car did not wish to pursue charges.
Almon was released from jail soon after the plea deal was reached on Thursday.

CHICAGO (AP) -- A 31-year-old amputee has made history, becoming the first person to climb 103 floors of one of the world's tallest skyscrapers with a bionic leg.
Zac Vawter was wearing a prosthetic leg controlled by neural activity Sunday when he participated in "SkyRise Chicago." The charity event raises funds for the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago.
The event marked the bionic leg's first test in the public eye. USA Today's Janice Lloyd reports more specifics about how the leg works. In her online report Lloyd writes, "When Vawter's surgeon removed his leg, he transplanted nerve cells from the lower leg to his hamstring. Sensors attached on the skin near those nerves communicate information to the bionic leg's microprocessor."
A very simplistic way to describe the process is like this: 2013 Associated Press. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.

LAS VEGAS (AP) - A judge is calling for an independent medical expert to review the fitness for trial of a former Nevada physician facing murder and other charges stemming a 2007 hepatitis C outbreak at his Las Vegas clinics. Clark County District Court Judge Valerie Adair says she doesn't want to postpone the April 22 trial of Dipak Desai and a former employee.
Desai's attorney, Richard Wright, said Friday that Desai suffered another stroke Feb. 24, and can't assist in his own defense. Wright on Thursday submitted a physician's report to the judge that says Desai is confused, disoriented and has speech and physical problems. Prosecutor Michael Staudaher says it's not clear whether Desai is incapacitated or faking. Staudaher has in the past accused Desai of "malingering" to avoid trial.

Dave Matthews Band And Dave Matthews - Warehouse Lyrics
The "Warehouse" lyrics by Dave Matthews Band And Dave Matthews Matthews Band And Dave Matthews, make sure to visit the artist homepage on KOvideo.
Warehouse by Dave Matthews Band And Dave Matthews
So, I'm leaving...
This Warehouse frightens me.
Has me tied up in knots...
Can't rest for a Moment.
Soon, I'm going...
I'm slippin' slow away
Hoping to find something better...
Than I've got inside of here,
And the Warehouse slips away.
Hey reckless mind
Don't throw away your playful beginnings
You and I
Will fumble around in the touches and be sure to...
Leave all the lights on
So we can see the black cat changing colors
And who can walk under ladders
And swim as the tide
Turns you around and around
Hey we have found
Becoming one in a million
Slip into the crowd
This question I found in the gap in the sidewalk
Keep all your sights on
Hey, the black cat changing colors
And who can walk under ladders
And swim as the tide choose to turn you
And here I sit
Life goes on, end of tunnel, TV set
Spot in the middle
Static fade, statistical bit
And soon I'll fade away, I'll fade away
Lyrics provided by
Source -
But this I admit taste so good
Hard to believe an end to it
Smell touch feel
How could this rhythm ever quit
Bags packed on a plane
Hopefully to heaven, yeah
Shut up, I'm thinking
I had a clue now it's gone forever
Sitting over these bones
You can read in whatever you're needing to
Keep all your sights on
Yeah, man, the black cat changing colors
It's not the colors that matter
But that they'll all fade away
Life goes on, end of tunnel, TV set
Spot in the middle
Static fade, statistical bit
And soon I'll fade away, I'll fade awayThis
That's our blood down there
Seems poured from the hands of angels
But trickle into the ground
Leaves the Warehouse bare and empty
And my heart's numbered beat
Still echo in this empty room
And the fear wells in me
But nothing seems enough to defend
So I am going away
I am going away
...to the end.

San Diego City's Campaign Contribution Limits Challenged
Aired 12/31/09
Prominent San Diego Republicans want a federal judge to grant an injunction overturning campaign finance restrictions on next year’s City Council elections.
Prominent San Diego Republicans want a federal judge to grant an injunction overturning campaign finance restrictions on next year’s City Council elections.
A coalition of Republicans says San Diego City's Ethics Commission’s campaign finance laws are unconstitutional. Michael Rosen, secretary of San Diego’s Republican Party, says the lawsuit seeks to lift the $500 contribution limits for city council races.
"We think this will benefit all political parties and all advocacy groups," Rosen said.
But Jess Durfee, chair of the San Diego Democratic Party, says the campaign contribution limits create a level playing field for candidates.
“The Republicans are proposing to allow a few rich people in San Diego to start bankrolling their ideal candidate, and buy elections for them,” Durfee said.
James Bopp, the Indiana attorney who filed the suit on behalf of the Republicans, says he has already filed several campaign finance suits all the way to the Supreme Court, and won.
“Of the 100 campaign finance cases I’ve handled,” Bopp said. “We won two-thirds in the district courts, 90 percent in the Courts of Appeal and 80 percent of the cases I’ve argued in the U.S. Supreme Court.”
A San Diego Federal District Court judge is expected to issue a ruling January 25th.
Four of the eight San Diego City Council seats are up for election in 2010, and three of them are currently held by Democrats.

Don't let budget hinder summer parties
Tips on saving money on summer parties
The weather is warm, the sun is out -- and your bank account is almost empty.
But before you let your tight budget hinder your ability to throw a summer bash, consider ways to cut costs while still being able to host your friends and family for a get-together.
Budget BBQs
Having a barbeque or a cookout is a common reason to invite people over, whether it be to celebrate a holiday or just to spend time with family and friends. And by following some thrifty tips, a BBQ can be an affordable fiesta, too.
A good place to cut costs is on the meat. Celebrations.com suggest that you tell guests to bring their own meat. That way, they can decide how much they want to spend and you can focus on the side dishes without having the burden of spending on the main course.
If you don't feel comfortable telling guests to bring their own meat, Celebrations.com recommends shopping smart. The Web site suggests sticking with cheaper cuts of meat such as ground beef. It also recommends looking for what's on sale that week and making sure you're getting more for your money.
Another area to trim spending is on beverages. Instead of setting up a full bar and offering your guests a variety of mixed drinks, Celebrations.com suggests limiting your selection to beer and soda. You can also ask guests to bring their own beverages.
You can also save money on dishware. The site recommends that hosts purchase reusable dishes so that the items may be used again for future parties instead of being thrown away.
Perhaps the most expensive part of having a BBQ is the grilling equipment itself. Celebrations.com recommends buying equipment in the off-season when it is more likely to be on sale.
Sunny Celebrations
You don't need to have a BBQ to throw a summer party -- you can also invite people over for a pool party, for summer drinks or even just to spend some time outside.
Whatever your celebration may be, you can save by inviting fewer guests. Since a lot of people tend to go out of town over the weekends during the summer, it is acceptable to trim your guest lists.
If your party is intimate, Oprah.com suggests also cutting back on the food you serve. According to the Web site, hosts can get away with serving limited food options -- even maybe just offering one type of a unique appetizer -- to a small party.Oprah.com also recommends letting your guests help provide the entertainment by having each of them bring a CD that can be played throughout the party.
Graduation Gatherings
One of the most common summer parties is to celebrate a graduation. While some graduation parties may be large in number, there are still ways to cut costs, says Ginger Venable of GraduationParty.com.
One of the main ways to cut expenses is on food. To save money, Venable says the timing is everything.
"Really pay attention to what day you have the party," Venable said.
She recommends picking a day that several others are having parties. That way your guests can fill up at other celebrations. Venable said the best day to have the party is the Saturday after graduation and to hold your party from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m., after most people have eaten lunch and before they're hungry for dinner.
"You can put out a beautiful display, and no one will eat a thing," Venable said.
However, Venable said to make sure that even if you're cutting back on food to make sure you have enough to feed your guests, especially those who are only coming to your party, such as relatives or out-of-town guests.
For what to serve, Venable suggests asking the graduate what she wants. The day is supposed to be about the student. Plus, chances are they aren't going to request an expensive meal -- they'll most likely want pizza or a taco bar.
Another area to trim costs is on decorations. Venable suggests not buying anything personalized. Instead, she recommends buying generic banners and then adding the graduate's name with construction paper cutouts.
She also recommends going with a theme other than the year. Venable tells her clients to "dare to be different," which can result in unique parties with unexpected themes, and it can also save money by buying decorations and accessories that can be used over again.

Rosalinda Anzaldua, 26, a teller at a South Side bank, is accused of helping her boyfriend, John Olvera, 32, illegally withdraw money from a bank customer’s account.
Facebook provided San Antonio police investigators with their biggest clue, according to an arrest warrant affidavit.
Both Anzaldua and Olvera were arrested Monday on a forgery charge in connection with the crime which happened in June.
The affidavit stated that Olvera walked into the First Convenience Bank on S. Zarzamora on June 15 and went to the window where Anzaldua was working.
Police said surveillance pictures from the bank show the transaction, with Anzaldua waiting on Olvera and handing him $2,400.
The affidavit states that detectives discovered the account from which the money was withdrawn belonged to someone else.
Detectives conducted research using phone records and Facebook, and learned that Anzaldua and Olvera were involved in a romantic relationship, the affidavit stated.
It also stated that Anzaldua had been accessing several other customer bank accounts that same day.

Before LEWIS, P.J., RULON, J., and GLENN D. SCHIFFNER, District Judge, assigned.
RULON, J.: The State filed an interlocutory appeal from the trial court's decision granting defendant Steven E. Box's motion to suppress evidence. We reverse and remand for further proceedings.
The facts are virtually undisputed and are as follows:
Defendant was charged with being a felon in possession of a firearm and a misdemeanor, obstruction of legal process. Defendant filed a motion to suppress the evidence alleging he did not consent to the search and the search was not justified as a search incident to arrest. The State responded by asserting the search was authorized by consent and under K.S.A. 22-2501, a search incident to defendant's arrest.
At the suppression hearing, Michael Bussell, an officer with the Lenexa Police Department, testified he stopped a Caprice driven by defendant because the car displayed a tag registered to a different vehicle. After Bussell explained the reason for the stop to defendant, defendant was unable to provide a driver's license or proof of insurance. When Bussell requested defendant's name and date of birth, defendant advised his name was Damon Williams. A record check revealed Damon Williams had been arrested for narcotics and was a gang affiliate. For safety reasons Bussell requested a backup officer.
A passenger in the front seat was identified as Walter Laura. A record check advised that Laura had prior narcotics and weapons convictions. Laura was paralyzed from the waist down.
Bussell noticed a wallet in the ashtray, which had not been there when he initially approached the car. Bussell had defendant exit and stand to the rear of the car. Bussell suspected that defendant was lying and wanted to search the vehicle to get the wallet and anything illegal. Bussell advised defendant (who Bussell still knew only as Damon Williams), that his driver's license was suspended and asked if there was anything illegal inside the car. When defendant responded negatively, Bussell requested consent to search the car, and defendant consented. Fred Farris, another officer with the Lenexa Police Department, arrived as Bussell asked for consent to search the car.
The female passenger in the back seat was told to exit the car. Laura was not told to exit the vehicle because he did not have his wheelchair. Bussell did not make Laura sit on the ground because it was cold and rainy outside. When Bussell noticed the car had controls for acceleration and braking on the steering column, he asked Laura who owned the car. Laura advised that his cousin who was incarcerated gave the car to Laura for his care and custody. Bussell asked Laura if he could search the car and Laura agreed. None of the three occupants in the car could provide registration for the stopped vehicle.
Bussell searched the contents of the billfold, which indicated the driver's correct identity was defendant. A record check indicated defendant had an outstanding warrant for his arrest. Farris informed Bussell that defendant showed Farris the scar from a prior gunshot wound. Defendant was arrested and handcuffed.
A record check on the female passenger disclosed that she had provided fictitious identification. After the officers discovered her correct identity, she was arrested and taken into custody on outstanding arrest warrants. Because of defendant's and Laura's criminal histories, Bussell continued his search of the vehicle in the immediate areas where defendant had been seated and where Laura still was seated.
When Bussell realized the glove compartment was locked, he asked for the key several times. Defendant stated he did not know about the key and Laura stated he had never been inside the glove compartment. A decorative bullet hanging from a key chain in the ignition heightened Bussell's suspicion that defendant or Laura could possess a gun. Although Bussell made a very cursory pat-down for bulges in Laura's pants, Bussell was concerned for officer safety and wanted to search the glove compartment for a weapon due to Laura's close proximity to it. Bussell also believed the vehicle's registration would be in the glove compartment.
Farris testified he asked Laura for the key to the glove compartment because defendant admitted that he had a prior gun injury, and had been involved in drug activity. The officers knew that Laura was paralyzed because of a gunshot injury. Based upon the officers' experience, drugs and weapons usually coincided. The officers believed it was inappropriate to have Laura sit on the grass in the cold and rain, but were uncomfortable leaving Laura in the car because Laura could readily access the glove compartment.
While Bussell held his arm over Laura's torso, Farris took a screwdriver from the floorboard and used it to pry the glove compartment open. Inside was a loaded 9 millimeter handgun. When Farris told defendant they found a gun in the glove compartment, defendant immediately admitted it was his gun. Farris advised defendant not to say anything else until they arrived at the police station where defendant would be given an opportunity to make a statement.
When one of the passengers advised the officers the car contained drugs, it was towed to the police station where it could be searched further out of the inclement weather. The key to the glove compartment was eventually found in a crease in the front seat.
Subsequently, the district court found the consent to search the vehicle did not extend to the locked glove compartment. The court further found the search was not a search incident to arrest because the officers were not searching for fruits or instrumentalities of the crime for which defendant was arrested. The trial court found officer safety did not justify the search because the defendant was outside of the car when placed under arrest, and there was little evidence to support concern for officer safety regarding Laura. The court ultimately found the search of the glove compartment was not authorized and suppressed the evidence.
The State dismissed the obstruction of legal process charge and filed this interlocutory appeal.
The State has the burden of proof to show that a search and seizure was lawful. If the facts are not in dispute, the question of whether to suppress is a question of law which is subject to unlimited appellate review. State v. Rexroat, 266 Kan. 50, 53, 966 P.2d 666 (1998).
The State claims the defendant's motion to suppress should not have been granted because the search was incident to defendant's arrest. However, the State does not appeal the trial court's finding regarding consent. Furthermore, the State acknowledges Kansas has not addressed whether an officer is permitted to open a locked glove compartment during a search incident to arrest.
The general rule that warrantless searches and seizures are unreasonable has five exceptions: (1) consent; (2) hot pursuit; (3) incident to a lawful arrest; (4) stop and frisk; and (5) probable cause to search with exigent circumstances. State v. Sanders, 5 Kan. App. 2d 189, 195, 614 P.2d 998 (1980).
K.S.A. 22-2501, the statutory authorization for a search incident to arrest,."
We begin our analysis with a review of Chimel v. California, 395 U.S. 752, 23 L. Ed. 2d 685, 89 S. Ct. 2034, reh. denied 396 U.S. 869 (1969). Law enforcement officers arrested Chimel at his residence with a warrant for a burglary, searched the entire house, and confiscated numerous items from rooms other than the room where Chimel had been arrested. The Chimel Court held that the scope of the search was unconstitutional because it went beyond Chimel's person and areas where a weapon could have been retrieved or where evidence could have been destroyed or concealed. 395 U.S. at 768.
The Chimel Court held the concept of search incident to arrest was justified based upon officer safety and the rule for a search incident to arrest should be governed by the rule of Terry v. Ohio, 392 U.S. 1, 20, L. Ed. 2d 889, 88 S. Ct. 1868 (1968), authorizing a frisk for weapons. 395 U.S. 762-63. The Chimel Court further concluded the scope of such searches "must be 'strictly tied to and justified by' the circumstances which rendered its initiation permissible." 395 U.S. at 762 (quoting Terry, 392 U.S. at 19). Under such a rule, no justification existed to routinely search rooms other than the room where an arrest occurred or through closed or concealed drawers or areas in that room, and a search incident to arrest is not justified where it is remote in time or place from the arrest. 395 U.S. at 764.
Following Chimel, our legislature enacted K.S.A. 22-2501. Additionally, our Supreme Court adopted six factors, based on existing federal and state case law, for a trial court to consider in deciding a motion to suppress evidence regarding the reasonableness of the scope of a vehicle search incident to a valid arrest. State v. Tygart, 215 Kan. 409, Syl. ¶ 2, 524 P.2d 753 (1974). The Tygart six factors are: (1) the closeness of the vehicle to the place of arrest, (2) the probability that seizable items related to the crime were inside the vehicle, (3) the amount of elapsed time between the arrest and the search, (4) the departure of the arrestee from the vehicle, (5) the vehicle was used in connection with the crime, and (6) the character of the place of the arrest, i.e., public area, business premises or private home. Other factors could bear upon the issue, and no single factor by itself was decisive. 215 Kan. at 412.
Following Chimel, the United States Supreme Court decided New York v. Belton, 453 U.S. 454, 69 L. Ed. 2d 768, 101 S. Ct. 2860, reh. denied 453 U.S. 950 (1981). In Belton, the officer stopped a vehicle for excessive speeding; Belton was one of four occupants in the vehicle. None of the occupants owned the vehicle. Because the officer smelled burnt marijuana and saw an envelope on the floor of the car marked "'Supergold,'" which the officer associated with marijuana, all occupants were arrested for possession of marijuana and ordered out of the car. The officer picked up the envelope, found it contained marijuana, and searched the passenger compartment of the car. The officer found Belton's jacket in the back seat, unzipped a pocket, and discovered cocaine. Belton was indicted for possession of cocaine.
Because articles inside the vehicle's passenger compartment are generally within the areas where an arrestee might reach to retrieve a weapon or evidence, the Belton Court held that an officer who has lawfully arrested an occupant of a vehicle may, as a contemporaneous incident of that arrest, search the passenger compartment of that vehicle and examine the contents of any open or closed containers found within the passenger compartment. 453 U.S. at 460-61. A "'container'" was defined to include closed or open glove compartments and consoles but not trunks. 453 U.S. at 460, n. 4. The justification for searching containers was "not that the arrestee has no privacy interest in the container, but that the lawful custodial arrest justified the infringement of any privacy interest the arrestee may have." 453 U.S. at 461. The Belton Court held that the search of Belton's jacket was an area within his immediate control and within the meaning of the Chimel decision; thus, the search was constitutional. 453 U.S. at 462.
Kansas courts have applied Belton in upholding the scope of a search incident to an arrest. State v. Deskins, 234 Kan. 529, 543, 673 P.2d 1174 (1983); State v. White, 230 Kan. 679, 680, 640 P.2d 1231 (1982); State v. Croft, 6 Kan. App. 2d 821, 823, 635 P.2d 972 (1981). The first case to discuss K.S.A. 22-2501, Chimel, and Belton, was State v. Press, 9 Kan. App. 2d 589, 592-95, 685 P.2d 887, rev. denied 236 Kan. 877 (1984).
In Press, defendant was arrested for driving under the influence, handcuffed, and placed in the front seat of the patrol car with the seat belt fastened before the officer searched the passenger compartment of the defendant's vehicle. After finding marijuana, the officer searched the trunk, finding more marijuana. The trial court found that the officer conducted a general search of the entire vehicle when there was no possibility defendant could have destroyed evidence while handcuffed in the patrol car. The State appealed the trial court's decision to suppress the evidence from the search.
The Press court noted some jurisdictions interpreted Belton broadly, that is, a court need only find that an article was within the passenger compartment; if so, it is deemed to have been within the arrestee's immediate control. The Press court further noted other jurisdictions have interpreted Belton narrowly, that is, each custodial arrest of the occupant of a vehicle must be evaluated to determine whether an article was within the arrestee's immediate control. Under the narrow interpretation, Belton did not apply to searches if the defendant was arrested, handcuffed, and seated in the back seat of an officer's car without a realistic possibility of access to the vehicle. 9 Kan. App. 2d at 594-95. The Press court held that Kansas adopted the broader interpretation of Belton. 9 Kan. App. 2d at 595-97.
Here, the State requests this court to adopt the bright line interpretations of Belton from other jurisdictions regarding a search of a locked glove compartment incident to an arrest. The State relies upon State v. Hanna, 173 Ariz. 30, 839 P.2d 450 (Ct. App. 1992), cert. denied 507 U.S. 997 (1993), and United States v. McCrady, 774 F.2d 868 (8th Cir. 1985). For us, the primary question is whether Kansas should extend Belton to apply to locked glove compartments.
Although the Tenth Circuit has not addressed the search of a locked glove compartment, it has discussed the extent of Belton. In United States v. Cotton, 751 F.2d 1146 (10th Cir. 1985), officers stopped a car driven by defendant because defendant and the car matched a description from a radio broadcast regarding a stolen vehicle. Defendant argued Chimel and Belton did not apply because he had been taken out of the car, arrested, and handcuffed before the other officer searched the passenger compartment of his vehicle and found a bag containing blank titles, VIN plates, and keys. After discussing Belton and the relaxation of the exclusionary rule for vehicles, the Cotton court held the challenged search was conducted incident to a lawful arrest and was reasonable under the totality of the circumstances even though the arrestee was outside the vehicle and handcuffed when the vehicle was searched. 751 F.2d 1147-50.
Later, the Tenth Circuit distinguished Cotton in U.S. v. Lugo, 978 F.2d 631 (10th Cir. 1992). In Lugo, after Lugo was arrested for traffic charges, handcuffed, and transported to jail, an officer inventoried the contents of the truck even though it was not going to be towed. The arresting officer reached inside a door panel that had been pulled away and found two bricks of cocaine. The Lugo court noted the rationale of Belton is that the inside of a vehicle is an area which an arrestee might reach to retrieve a weapon or evidence. Therefore, the court stated, it follows that the warrantless search incident to arrest is illegal if the search is remote in time or place from the arrest because no exigency exists. The Lugo court concluded the defendant was not a threat after being taken from the scene and the Belton rationale had evaporated. Belton was found inapplicable to the facts and the warrantless search was not justifiable. 978 F.2d 633-35. Clearly, the Tenth Circuit in Lugo rejected the analysis used by the Eighth Circuit in McCrady and limited the Belton bright line rule.
If the bright line rule of Belton has no limitations, as in McCrady, the six Tygart factors are no longer controlling. Yet, Kansas courts reverted to the Tygart factors after acknowledging that Kansas follows Belton. See State v. McClain, 258 Kan. 176, 183-84, 899 P.2d 993 (1995); State v. Van Wey, 18 Kan. App. 2d 260, 261-62, 850 P.2d 283 (1983).
The trial court here found it was more reasonable for the officers to remove Laura from the vehicle. Both officers testified they did not want to subject Laura to sitting on the grass in the cold and rain. Yet, they feared leaving Laura in the vehicle within close proximity of the locked glove compartment where a weapon could be concealed. So, the officers chose to search the glove compartment with Laura in the front seat. Another alternative would have been to call for another officer. However, these officers indicated they were on the street because the bad weather had patrol vehicles working traffic accidents. The last alternative was to allow Laura to remain in the car without searching the glove compartment. "Certainly it would be unreasonable to require that police officers take unnecessary risks in the performance of their duties." Terry, 392 U.S. at 23.
We conclude under Chimel, Tygart, and K.S.A. 22-2501, the officer's safety after the arrest of defendant and the female passenger outweighed defendant's privacy interest in the locked glove compartment, because Laura was not under arrest or handcuffed and remained in the car and in close proximity to the locked glove compartment. Under such circumstances, exigent circumstances existed for the warrantless search. Under Chimel, the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution requires the government to show that the exigencies of the circumstances made a warrantless search imperative. Considering the totality of the unique circumstances, we conclude the officers articulated a reasonable basis for concern about their safety after the arrest of defendant and the female passenger, and officer safety is an authorized purpose for a search incident to an arrest under K.S.A. 22-2501(a).
Our holding here is specifically based upon Chimel and Tygart and the unique facts of this case and not based on the bright line rule of Belton and Press.
We reverse and remand for further proceedings.

Kevin Rawlings, the board president of the Northland Regional Ambulance District, spoke with NBC Action News investigative reporter Ryan Kath shortly after he was charged with misuse of official information in February.

PLATTE CITY, Mo. - A former Northland politician charged with corruption is expected to enter a guilty plea at his next court appearance in October.
Kevin Rawlings faces criminal charges for misusing public information when he was board president of the Northland Regional Ambulance District (NRAD).
After several hearings were rescheduled, the latest docket entry for Rawlings’ criminal case in Case.net shows a plea is expected at an October court date.
Platte County Prosecutor Eric Zahnd alleged Rawlings profited nearly $145,000 after he sold a piece a land to taxpayers to build a new ambulance station.
According to court documents, Rawlings bought the land near the Camden Point exit of Interstate 29, knowing NRAD intended to build a station in that area.
Rawlings sold 1.5 acres to NRAD for $175,000. The ambulance district did not order an appraisal prior to making the deal. However, an appraisal ordered by law enforcement authorities estimated the land’s value at $30,000.
A 41 Action News investigation first questioned the land deal back in 2011.
41 Action News also interviewed Rawlings at his home in Dearborn on the day he was criminally charged in February.
Rawlings' attorney, Kathleen Fisher, declined to comment until after her client’s court date on October 16.
Zahnd also said he could not discuss the case.
Following a guilty plea, a judge would decide Rawlings’ punishment at a sentencing hearing. During NRAD public meetings, taxpayers have demanded the money be paid back.

"We will veto any tax increases period," said Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal when asked about a cigarette tax increase back in June of 2011.
Now his office says he is considering it a cigarette tax increase, but they also say the idea behind the increase is different this time around.
An e-mail from one of his aides said, "we've always said that we would be fine if it was done in a revenue neutral way, and we are willing to consider this and other changes as part of a larger effort to eliminate the income tax in a revenue neutral way."
That means Jindal would support tax hikes that do not increase the amount of money the state collects. Instead, it would shift it. Smokers would pay more for a pack of cigarettes, but Louisiana residents would pay less in taxes somewhere else- like the state income tax.
In 2011 the proposed tax was meant to increase revenue to help pay for healthcare services.
Smokers would pay more for a pack of cigarettes, but Louisiana residents would pay less in taxes somewhere else- like the state income tax.
No official proposals have been made at this time. The Louisiana Legislators 2013 Session starts in April.

A mom from York County, Pennsylvania was arrested Monday evening for jumping into a Hurricane Sandy-swelled creek because she wanted to "save the wild ducks." Justina Laniewski's 4-year-old daughter tried to enter the water after her, though a neighbor snatched the child out of harm's way.
Instead of saving ducks, WGAL-TV reports Laniewski was fished out of the neck-deep water herself, then reportedly blew twice the legal alcohol limit during a field sobriety test. She was charged with reckless endangerment, disorderly conduct and public drunkenness.
