(2) that in the administration of the plan there is a failure to comply substantially with any provision required by section 1202 (a) of this title to be included in the plan;
the Secretary shall notify such State agency that further payments will not be made to the State (or, in his discretion, that payments will be limited to categories under or parts of the State plan not affected by such failure) until the Secretary is satisfied that such prohibited requirement is no longer so imposed, and that there is no longer any such failure to comply.

SPOKANE, Wash. - On Wednesday Judge James Triplet set murder suspect Jason Hart's bail at $500,000. Hart's arraignment on his first degree murder charge is set for June 18th. The judge ordered that, if he posts bond, Hart cannot return to the scene where the murder took place.
The Spokane County and Spokane City SWAT team arrested Hart Tuesday as they believe he killed a female victim in Nine Mile Falls. The victim's identity has still not been released by the Medical Examiner's Office although court documents say that the victim is Regan Jolley, sources close to KHQ say Jolley is 33-years-old. Jolley was found in a tub of acid.Detectives believe the victim was killed before she was dumped in the tub of acid. The manner of death (shooting, stabbing, etc.) has still not been determined. That will also be announced by the Medical Examiner. Court documents acknowledge that investigators witnessed signs of bruising on the victim's body. Court documents state detectives believed the victim showed signs of strangulation. On Tuesday KHQ spoke exclusively with Jessica Hart. She is still legally married to Jason, but moved out six months ago due to Jason's ongoing problems with substance abuse and his struggles with PTSD.
"The man I married is not the man who did this," Jessica Hart said.Doctors diagnosed Hart, an Iraq Veteran, with 100% service connected PTSD.
UPDATE: The murder suspect, 27-year-old Jason Hart, is expected to make his first court appearance today at 1:30. We will have cameras in the courtroom. Hart is accused of killing his girlfriend and then putting her body in a bathtub filled with acid. Keep checking back to this web channel for updates.
UPDATE: Tuesday afternoon, KHQ's Alex Rozier spoke with the woman who is still legally married to the suspected murderer, Jason Hart.
Jessica Hart tells us the couple has two children, ages 5 & 7 and that she left him in December because of his substance abuse problem.
Jessica says she talked to Jason on Monday and he was not in a good mood.
She says she was still hoping that Hart was going to go to rehab and get better and she never saw this coming.
KHQ Local News Reporter Alex Rozier will have more tonight on KHQ Local News.
UPDATE: The victim in Nine Mile Falls was found in a plastic tub that is filled with some sort of clear liquid. That is where SWAT was exposed.
SPOKANE, Wash. - A 27-year-old man is in custody after a woman was found dead in a shed on Tuesday morning. He's identified as 27-year-old Jason Hart. Authorities believe that Hart is the main suspect. The shed the murder victim was found in is on a property in the 14,000 block of Autumn Lane in Nine Mile Falls.
Hart came out of the home hours after hostage negotiators, Spokane County Sheriff's Deputies and SWAT arrived on the scene. Dozens of law enforcement responded.
Hart's roommate made the original 911 call reporting that someone was dead. When authorities arrived they found the victim's body in the shed.
A Hazmat crew has arrived on the property. It's not clear if a hazardous material played a role in the murder.
When authorities first arrived the roommate and two elderly people were inside the home, along with the suspect. The roommate and the two elderly people later came out on their own. The female victim has not been identified.
On Tuesday morning, June 4, 2013, at 2:42 a.m., Spokane County Sheriff's Deputies responded to a residence near the 14800 block of West Autumn Lane. The complainant told dispatch that his roommate, 27-year-old Jason Hart, had murdered his girlfriend. Deputies responded to the scene and verified there was a deceased female at the residence.
Deputies surrounded the residence and the Spokane City SWAT Team responded to assist. The Sheriff's Office SWAT Team was at a different, multi-agency warrant near Newport, WA. The Sheriff's Office SWAT Team responded after they completed their warrant.
Investigators developed information through Hart's roommate, who made the 911 call, that there was an elderly male and female in the residence with Hart. Both were able to safely leave the residence leaving Hart as the only occupant.
SWAT Team members were able to establish communication with Hart, who exited the residence at approximately 11:58 a.m. Hart was taken into custody without incident and transported to the Public Safety Building to be interviewed by Sheriff's Office Detectives.
While SWAT Team members were at the residence, five team members were exposed to some type of vapor. The five members were evaluated by AMR at the scene for the vapor exposure. It was determined that there is a possible, active methamphetamine lab. at the residence.
The Sheriff's Office Meth. Lab. Team is responding to the location to process the lab. Spokane City Fire Station #1's Hazmat Team is also en route to ensure the residence is safe before investigators can begin their investigation.
The investigation is on-going. Further information will be provided at a later time. The Medical Examiner's Office will release the identity of the victim.

Even better, it will be available at the end of the month, with the Early Access version launching on 30 July.

By PAUL NEWBERRYAP Sports Writer
FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. (AP) - For Desmond Trufant and Robert Alford, there was no time for a leisurely transition to the NFL.
They had to step up right away.
For one game, at least, the Atlanta Falcons are pleased with what they got from their rookie cornerbacks.
Trufant and Alford hardly looked overmatched, even though they were going against Drew Brees and the high-powered New Orleans Saints. Now, it's on to Week 2 against Sam Bradford and the St. Louis Rams, who are looking to go 2-0.
Trufant says he's "got a lot to improve on," but the Falcons held the Saints in check about as well as could be expected. Alford had an interception and broke up two passes. Trufant broke up a pass. Offensive problems were largely to blame for the 23-17 loss.

Orange Blossom Perfume
Greatest Hit
Product Actions
More from Greatest Hits:
Orange and honey sunshine
The elusive scent of a Mediterranean orange grove is captured in our Orange Blossom perfume. LUSH perfumer Simon wanted to bring out the honey, floral tones of orange blossoms in bloom, and achieved this by adding beeswax absolute to the perfume blend. The result is a subtle and sweet orange citrus scent that settles into the skin to bring out honey and woody notes. Simply sultry perfume to lift the soul!
- Too beautiful to burn: This scent was originally made for a candle, but everyone loved it so much we just had to make it into a perfume to wear.
- Everyone can wear Orange Blossom: This light, citrus fragrance works well on men and women, so do try it on both!
- Main notes: Orange blossom, neroli, rosewood, ylang ylang, sandalwood and beeswax.

Q:Does this perfume smell like Lush's Rub Rub Rub body scrub? Or similar?
Rub Rub Rub has an orange blossom scent that I absolutely love. If this smells comparable, I'll have to purchase it.Asked on 8/1/2013 by Cay from Orlando, FL
1 answer
A:They aren't identical in scent, but Rub Rub Rub is definitely reminiscent of Orange Blossom due to a few shared scent ingredients! If you like Rub Rub Rub, there's a good chance that you'll like Orange Blossom as well!Answered on 10/4/2013 by Brandy from LUSH

Report: GameSpot's Gerstmann Fired Due to Negative Kane & Lynch ReviewBy Chris Remo, Nov 29, 2007 7:09pm PST Rumors have been swirling today that Jeff Gerstmann, executive editor at CNET-owned major video game site GameSpot, was fired after giving a generally unimpressed review of Io Interactive's Kane & Lynch: Dead Men. Gerstmann awarded the game a 6.0. [Edit: Gerstmann had particularly negative words in his video review, which was removed from the site by GameSpot today.] (Though Shacknews does not score its reviews, our own Kane & Lynch review was similar in its verdict.)
According to the reports, the layoff came after Kane & Lynch publisher Eidos took issue with the review and threatened to pull its considerable ad contract. GameSpot's front page is currently almost entirely re-skinned with Kane & Lynch imagery.
The rumor began bouncing around various industry circles over the past day, and this evening was reported by Kotaku. Popular webcomic Penny Arcade posted a strip about the alleged incident tonight, outside of its normal publishing schedule.
Shacknews can confidently confirm via its own sources that Gerstmann was indeed fired yesterday from his position at GameSpot. The source declined to comment as to whether the firing was directly related to the reported Eidos situation, but the circumstances are suspicious at the least.
Gerstmann had been an employee at GameSpot for about a decade, and took the place of former executive editor Greg Kasavin when Kasavin left the company to work for Electronic Arts as a producer.
Update: CNET employee Tim Tracy has posted what appears to be a farewell notice on his GameSpot blog. Until July, Tracy was an editor at GameSpot, and since then has been working for CNET-owned MP3.com. If indeed Tracy is departing, it is unknown if it is related to Gerstmann's dismissal.

By: Ted168 x Show Full PostI work as a magazine games reviewer. Im shaking with fear now as ive got through my review copy of K&L and still have to review it (gulp!).
As for those comments about reviews being paid for. Actually giving items apart from the review unit isnt in fashion anymore. What you get now are huge "launch events". These are just shameless plugs to make a mini-E3 so you go "wow if its got this hype it must be good". I dont mind giving bad scores on games but there was one occasion when I was told by the company that sent me the game to "rethink your review because IGN gave it a good score". That was in reply to a 1/5 for a game that just stank. So you know I didnt cave and the review was shelved. Even if the reviewer isnt worried you can get blacklisted by the companies so you dont get any future games from them. If you get blisted with some of the big ones then you are in trouble!
I think it is very possible that Jeff got fired for a few bad reviews but just the one is possible but I dont know.Nov 30, 2007 2:28am PSTI work as a magazine games reviewer. Im shaking with fear now as ive got through my review copy of K&L an... : Ted168

I mean, it's possible, but I respect GameSpot too much to believe something like this.
On the other hand, I respect J.G. enough to believe that if it came down to it, he'd quit before changing a score he believed was accurate.
But really, I don't believe this is true. ALL of the major sites gave the game a score like that:

By: slambast x Show Full PostThe 6.0 review I don't think was the issue. His comments in the video is probably what did it. Saying 'Multiplayer is interesting, but I don't think this game is worth buying' is probably what got Eidos really upset. If I put that much advertising on the site, having the reviewer explicitly say not to buy the game would have seemed like a slap in the face. I think the other critiques were fine and not fire worthy.
I hope Eidos and GS gets lots of negative publicity over the this. I actually liked Gerstmann's reviews. I'd rather have someone being overly critical and still give a high score (> 8.5), than read a game informer review which just boosts its average score.Nov 29, 2007 8:11pm PSTThe 6.0 review I don't think was the issue.

Gerstmann had played the game before release, and thought it was crap and was annoyed at Gamespot for agreeing to take part in the big publicity stunt on the web site (obviously Eidos trying to save a crappy title with a huge marketing campaign).
So he probably reviewed the game a little more aggressively than was needed because he wanted to "get back at them".

It's not like Gamespot is the only site to give K&L a lousy review, everybody did. Eidos, quit waving around your ad-money like you're threatening these sites.

Maybe that wasn't such a hot idea that everyone thought it would be. I don't know, I think they just stumbled on the execution and the gameplay.

"Any idiot can face a crisis; it is this day-to-day living that wears you out." -Anton Chekhov
I found a Khan hair in my food last night, and that somehow made it all better. I'm such a weirdo.
Sorry about the pity party, y'all. Just not in a good frame of mind right now.
I am happy to stick out the pity party with you until the well runs dry and cousins get so drunk they start making out in dark corners.

Big hugs to you Suja

Beanpop's Fluffy Butt Diapers *GRAND RE-OPENING 3/13*
Today, a small yellow tit bird flew in to my MIL's large glass window and died. Travis was there when it happened and was really concerned for the bird as it didn't die straight away. Later on, they found its body, so I suggested that we bury it. We've talked about death before and our official take on it around here is that when you die, your body goes back to the soil and that your soul goes up to the starts to live forever. Travis has always accepted that for as much as we have talked about it. MIL dug a little hole in the ground and as soon as she covered the bird up, Travis burst out in to tears. He was properly sobbing where he was struggling to get a breath and just so distraught. It was heartbreaking to see, but it made me realize that this is the first time that the idea of death as being final was shown to him in a concrete form. Poor boy. We cried together, and then I had to bribe him to feel better by promising him an ice cream later, which I know is not great with planting the whole "eat something sugary to comfort yourself," but that's what we do around here.
Oh, and when Travis was sobbing, my MIL said to him, "It's OK; the little bird has gone to Jesus now!" LOL. I was like, "it's sleeping now forever, having nice dreams about things like ice cream and chocolate."
Aw. My kids have been blase enough about our aquarium "fishues" that it's really upsetting to DH when a guppie dies of pick and they tell him about it and ask whether we'll get a new one.
We are having another heat wave and I'm miserable. DH and I are both short tempered and I can't cook or turn on the computer. It's cooling down to 84 degrees inside right now but the bedrooms are hotter. Ugh.
That was ick, BTW.
Ich is the funniest name for a fish disease, isn't it? Lydia, I don't mean to turn this into a contest (mostly because I am too grumpy and sweaty) but my house is currently 93 degrees in the shady hallway that hosts the thermostat. The girls' rooms are hotter because the sun is on the walls. We are roasting. Actually, we're mostly just lying on a quilt in the shade on our new grass, and that is quite nice, but every time I have to go inside for something I want to die. Noe has been naked all afternoon. No idea how I'm going to put her to bed in her room - she doesn't like the fan and I think it's too hot in there for it to make much of a difference anyway.
I know just what you mean about being too hot to cook. We've been eating sandwiches and fried eggs and fruit for about four days now.
OmgOmgOmg. Our sweet cat, Apple, has had this croaky meow for nearly 2 weeks. I just tpld dbf I was going to call the vet monday and he agreed although we both wondered why she had no other symptoms. Just now we are sitting on the couch with her, dbf tells me to turn on the light because he can feel something on her neck. A rubber band! So tight. Her skin is raw. We had to cut it away. I am just shaking and tearful. The poor baby. Serious talk with the kids tomorrow. Between her collar bell and her flea and tick collar...I never noticed. I feel just awful.
Oh, Bridget, that is just awful. I'm so glad you found out in time.
I sometimes think of things I did carelessly throughout my life without realizing the consequences and I realize how lucky I am to have come to my adulthood without serious harm or punishment to myself or to others. My sister and I used to do "kitty gymnastics" with our kittens when we were in gymnastics classes. We had them do somersaults and little cartwheels. I am so cautious and so careful about others now, more than a lot of people, but kids are so unthinking.
I know they are going to feel terrible. Thinking back, I believe it was Kai. One day he was asking me if I'd seen Apple because she was carrying his pocket knife on her collar but not to worry because all the sharp points were tucked away. We later found it in the front yard and I assumed he had just tucked it under her collar but lately he has been using rubber bands to attach all sorts of things together. Man, the things you don't realize you need to warn against.
Poor kitty! That is so sad.
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
Apple has her meow back and is doing fine today. When Kai came up this morning I quietly spoke to him about finding the rubber band without implying that I thought it was him and that it was very painful and dangerous. His eyes filled with tears so I feel sure it was him. I did not feel the need to call him out for it.
I'm thinking of buying this dog crate: http://www.petco.com/product/111892/...eCat=LookAhead
Poor baby can't fit in his crate any more. It's a large size crate, too, and saw us through raising both of our other dogs, including Nero who was 90 lbs full grown. M can get in but has to curl up. He can't even lie down flat anymore. We've had him sleep in his pen in the living room the past few nights, but I want him sleeping with his "pack." Last thing I want to do is spend hundreds of dollars on a crate that I'm hoping we won't need for much longer, but I don't trust him unsupervised.
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
Oh poor kitty! I think you handled it well. Sometimes we do similar things with Josh, like "someone must have left those scissors on the floor. That's pretty dangerous." and we know it was Josh of course but he doesn't need to be made to feel bad.
I'm sorry it's so hot in some of your houses! It's so uncomfortable and irritating to be hot and sweaty
Back in the days when we lived in Da Bronx, we used to freeze big bowls of ice overnight, and set them under the fans, to cool the rooms. Easily drops the temp 5 degrees in a short span, and works very well for not too open spaces, like bed rooms.
Bridget, you handled that very well. Glad the kitty is on the mend.
Mandy, your CL might have a colossal crate for less. It is a once in a lifetime investment, though.
I didn't even think of CL. Thanks, Suja.
It rained here! Yay for the rainy season! This is puppy's first summer. It was so cute to watch him catch raindrops in his mouth.
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
I've been putting pans of ice in front of the fans but it just helps the immediate few inches in front of it, if anything. It still seems crazy hot and like nothing helps. Since our house has no insulation, it doesn't help to try to lower the temperature by a minuscule amount when the ambient temperature is so high and it's coming through the walls and the windows and the roof.
Luckily today seemed a bit more tolerable although dh and I are still both testy. It's only 81 at 10 pm and fans on bare skin help--better than sleeping outside in our back yard, believe me. Crackie is having a party. I turned the hose on the kids today and they loved it.
PS Kate love your new SIG pic. Hate typing on my phone though and it's too hot to turn on the computer.
We had to deal with a death explanation here yesterday too. I had taken M to see Monsters U and we were driving home when my phone rang. It was a good friend of mine calling to tell me her grandma had died (on my friend's bday of all days) and that she wouldn't be at work this week, etc. She was crying and of course I was like, omg, what's wrong, what happened, etc. As soon as I hung up the phone, M was like, mama, what happened to kate, is she ok? So I explained what happened and that when people get really old, sometimes their bodies don't work anymore. She seemed to understand it and we decided to make kate a card today.
I would be ready to lose it if my house was that hot. We put our AC's in a month ago. Our house is set up so that we can close off the spare bedrooms and storage areas in the addition part and just heat/cool the living room, kitchen and 3 bedrooms. It's great. Our electric bill goes up 20-25 a month in the summer, but it is worth every penny.
Bridget, sorry about your kitty, I'm glad you caught it in time!

The Pulp Fiction director is getting ready to release his eighth film, Django Unchained, which stars Jamie Foxx, but he admits his self-imposed retirement is not far off.
Tarantino has just two movies to go before he considers calling it a day but is keenly aware that one directorial slip-up can ruin future projects.
He tells Playboy magazine, ""I just don't want to be an old-man filmmaker... Directors don't get better as they get older. Usually the worst films in their filmography are those last four at the end. I am all about my filmography, and one bad film f**ks up three good ones.""

Feeding Indonesia
Food security is an urgent policy problem in Indonesia but opinions are divided about how best to feed the poorest and most vulnerable
Thushara Dibley and Eve Warburton
Indonesia is a country with a rapidly expanding middle class and a growing economy. Its neighbours are taking more notice, and Indonesia now plays a pivotal role in regional politics. Yet for many Indonesians, the daily task of feeding their families can be a real challenge. Even with government subsidies, Indonesia has the most expensive rice in the region. The government's commitment to reducing heavy fuel subsidies is expected to impact the price and accessibility of rice and other basic foodstuffs. Poor families are the most vulnerable in this situation.

An examination of prisons and detention centres shows that Indonesia still has a long way to go in protecting human rights
The international media has long carried stories about the imprisonment of Schapelle Corby in Bali and of the Indonesian children convicted of people smuggling and held in Australian gaols. But until the recent riot in Tanjung Gusta prison, where inmates were being held in facilities stretched to almost double capacity, the stories of the thousands of Indonesians who are locally imprisoned failed to make the headlines. This edition of Inside Indonesia begins to investigate these people's stories. The articles delve into the depths of Indonesia's gaols, seeking to understand who is incarcerated, under what conditions, and why.

By Lindsey DiMattina, Hollywood.com Staff
Holiday pop songs like Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas Is You" and 'N Sync's "Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays" get so much play during the holiday party season we almost get sick of hearing them (almost). But this year we have a slew of new songs to shake things up on our holiday playlists thanks to Colbie Caillat's new Christmas album, Christmas in the Sand, released Tuesday. Hollywood.com got the chance to catch up with Caillat about her new album. She also opens up about working with Taylor Swift and dishes on her own celebrity look-alike, Jennifer Aniston.
Christmas Cheer for All to Hear
For Caillat, the holidays are a time for cheer, family, and friends. So when it came to doing a Christmas album, she was all in. She even used memories of a personal experience to give her collection of songs a unique title based on the way some people spend their holidays at the beach. "I got my inspiration because I was in Hawaii for Thanksgiving last year with my family," she tells us. "We were talking about how fun it was to be in a tropical place for the holiday [and how] not everything is a white Christmas and not everyone spends their Christmases in the snow.""
Caillat has a track on the album titled ""Christmas in the Sand"" as well, which she co-wrote with her friends Jason Reeves and Kara DioGuardi. ""It was really fun to be able to write that with them,"" she says. ""They were able to make it really tongue-and-cheek and playful like I wanted the song to be."
Caillat's also collaborated with country star Brad Paisley on the album, to record ""Merry Christmas Baby"" as a duet. But the collaboration happened in true 21st century style. "I've never met Brad!"" she reveals. ""I've never even spoken to him before, but my management company, they managed him in Nashville. So, when I said I wanted to do a duet song, my manager, was like, 'What about Brad Paisley? We can ask him.'"" Caillat lucked out. ""He was kind enough to do it,"" she says, adding, ""I'm still looking forward to speaking to him and thanking him."
For another star-powered duet, Caillat recorded the song ""Baby It's Cold Outside"" with Gavin DeGraw. ""We wrote together last January,"" she says. ""He's really silly, really fun. I knew this song had to be playful and I love his voice, so I asked him if he wanted to sing it with me. We [then] recorded it in August in the middle of our tour together."
The song ""Mistletoe"" is another one of Caillat's originals. ""That was the first Christmas song I wrote,"" she says. ""It's about how not everyone gets to have a perfect Christmas. They don't get to spend it with their family members. I related to it because I was always traveling for my job and coming home very late in the Christmas season. And that always hit me hard that I had to be away from everyone when they were doing all the decorating and the shopping and fun stuff."
Caillat's new album went on sale Tuesday.
Next Up: Caillat Talks American Idol Rejection, Taylor Swift, and Jennifer Aniston[PAGEBREAK]
American Idol's Most Grateful Reject
Before Caillat became a two-time Grammy-award winning singer-songwriter, she tried out for the singing competition show American Idol... twice! But both times she was rejected. To this day, Caillat doesn't blame anyone but herself for not making it on Idol. ""I know both times I gave an awful audition because of my nerves,"" she says. ""I didn't want to audition but my friends were going to audition and everyone told me I should go with them. I was like, 'Whatever, I'll go with them even though I do not want to do this. I don't want to be on a TV show. I'm too nervous. I'm too shy.'"" She adds, ""I didn't look cute then, [so] I don't blame anyone but myself."
Even now that Caillat's career has taken off, she's still not interested in taking part in a TV show, even if it's for a hosting gig. ""Those TV shows always bother me,"" she says. ""It's just so dramatic." Caillat doesn't like how the shows focus on drama more than the talent, for example like how the fight between Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj is being played up in the media. ""Do they make that up because they want more publicity for the show?"" she asks. ""It's just too stressful for me.""
So Little Time
Besides Paisley and DeGraw, Caillat has also collaborated with Taylor Swift. The two wrote and recorded ""Breathe"" together in 2008. While the song was a hit, Caillat says it will be a while before she and Swift work together again but not for lack of interest. ""Our schedules are crazy,"" she explains.
Timing for another collaboration with alternative singer/songwriter/heartthrob Jason Mraz has been similarly tricky. ""I wrote with Jason Mraz two albums ago, and you can do it again together, but you're not going to have duets every year. You kind of have to hold off on that till the right time."
It's Jen... It's Jessica... No, It's Colbie Caillat!
If you put a picture of Caillat next to actress Jennifer Aniston, it's easy to see how the two beautiful stars might be easily confused and Caillat sees the resemblance herself. ""Some pictures of her laughing and my smile I'm like, 'Whoa! That's weird,"" Caillat says. "I [also] see certain resemblances in our hair and eye color."
Caillat is also sometimes gets mistaken for Justin Timberlake's new wife, Jessica Biel. ""In person, I don't see it all,"" Caillat says. ""But, like in all artists and actresses, when you see them in pictures, sometimes you all start to look alike a little bit. I can see what they mean in a couple of pictures I've taken, but not in person."
Next Up: John Mayer Rumors, A Secret Music Obsession, and Wedding Songs [PAGEBREAK]Keep In Touch
Caillat has toured with many famous musicians and bands including the Goo Goo Dolls, Lifehouse, and John Mayer. And because of her time spent with these people, she tries to foster the friendships she developed on the road. ""I stay in touch with Lifehouse,"" she says. ""And the drummer of the Goo Goo Dolls, we've texted over the years every once in a while.""
But when it comes to Mayer, who she was once rumored to have dated, things are a bit different. ""We don't stay in touch,"" she says. ""But when we see each other... We both did a show with Dave Stewart in L.A. a few weeks ago and I saw him there, it was good to say hi. But that's the extent of it." Caillat also denies that she had a relationship with him.
Colbie Caillat: Rap Star?
Will Caillat's next challenge be crossing over into the rap world? She is a huge fan of hip hop music, after all. ""It's so good,"" she says. ""I like certain kinds of rap where it's melodic and the music is great."" That's why she is a fan of Biggie. ""My fave songs are 'Notorious Thugs' and 'Juicy,'"" she admits. ""I know all the words to rap to them. It's fun to dance to and sing along with you kind of feel like a bad ass.""
She would even consider coming out with a fun cover rap video, like the one actress Rebel Wilson recently did where she impersonates Missy Elliot. ""We actually did a reenactment of 'Notorious Thugs,'"" says Caillat. ""It was actually a few years ago but we never put it out. We'll do it again."
The Wedding Singer
Caillat's chart-topping, aww-worthy duet with Jason Mraz, ""Lucky,"" has become a staple at weddings, even ones Caillat herself attends. "It's like my close friends, it'll be on their playlist,"" she says. ""My cousin got married last month and a couple of my songs were on the playlist. I just think it's cute.""
Caillat has even become a bit of a wedding singer herself, lending her vocals and romantic tunes for a friend's ceremony.""I sang my song 'Magic' at one my best friends' weddings,"" she says. ""She got married on the beach in Malibu and that was the only wedding I said yes to sing at."" But Caillat did refuse to sing at her sister's wedding. ""I didn't sing at it because I wanted to enjoy it and I get nervous when I have to perform,"" she says. ""So I just wanted to soak up the moment."

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, or HCM, is a form of cardiomyopathy. This is a condition in which the heart muscle thickens due to genetic problems with the muscle's structure. As the muscle thickens, it must work harder to pump blood, which strains the heart muscle. Sometimes, the thickened muscle gets in the way of the blood leaving the heart and causes a blockage. This blockage can cause the neighboring heart valve, called the mitral valve, to become leaky. HCM can cause uneven muscle growth which can cause the heart to pump in a disorganized way. Rarely, it can cause abnormal heart rhythms that can even be fatal.
There are three main types of cardiomyopathy:
- Dilated
Hypertrophic—can be divided into two types:
- Hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM)—the muscle between the two valves of the heart becomes so enlarged that it obstructs the blood flow in the heart
- Non-obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy—non-obstructive form, the enlarged muscle is not large enough to block blood flow
- Restrictive
HCM can occur in people of all ages. But, it is usually most severe when it occurs in younger people. The diagnosis is only made in people who do not have other causes of cardiomyopathy (eg, amyloidosis , sarcoidosis , coronary or valvular heart disease, etc.)
Those with HCM are at an increased risk of sudden death. However, many individuals with HCM live a normal, healthy life with very few symptoms.
Causes of HCM include:
- A gene that causes the abnormal structure of the heart muscle. It can be inherited or can happen from changes in the genes over time.
- A defective gene that controls growth of the heart muscle
- A viral infection
In people over age 60, HCM is likely to be caused by or related to high blood pressure .
Risk Factors
These factors increase your chance of developing this condition. Tell your doctor if you have any of these risk factors:
- Having a family member with HCM
- Being over age 60 and having hypertension
Symptoms include:
- Chest pain
- Fainting, particularly during exercise
- Dizziness or lightheadedness, particularly following exercise
- Heart palpitations
- Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
- General fatigue
- Tiring easily during exercise or activity
- Shortness of breath when lying down
These symptoms can be caused by some of the side effects of the condition, including arrhythmias (abnormal heart beats). The blocked or reduced blood flow is usually the cause of symptoms like dizziness, fainting, and difficulty breathing.
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history, and perform a physical exam.
Tests may include the following:
- Stress test —tests how the body responds to exercise, which can help in detecting heart and lung problems
- Echocardiography —uses high-frequency sound waves (ultrasound) to examine the size, shape, and motion of the heart
- Transesophageal echocardiogram —images of the heart are taken to detect abnormalities
- Heart monitor—a portable electrocardiogram (ECG) records continuous heart activity usually over a 24-72 hour period to determine regularity of the heartbeat
Heart catheter—a catheter is inserted into an artery in the groin area and threaded to the heart chambers
- An x-ray machine shows real-time images of your body as a dye is injected through the catheter. This allows angiograms (photos) to be taken of the blood vessels and the heart.
- Blood tests
- Chest x-ray —uses radiation to take a picture of structures inside the body, especially bones.
Treatment focuses on controlling symptoms and preventing complications. Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Treatment options include:
Medications may be used to help maintain proper and regular heart function. These may include beta-blockers and calcium channel blockers.
If you have an arrhythmia, you may need anti-arrhythmic drugs. You may also need blood-thinning medication.
The thickened portion of the heart muscle is cut and removed. This may be needed if you have a severely blocked blood flow from the heart.
If the mitral valve is leaking, surgery may also be done to repair or replace the mitral valve.
Alcohol Septal Ablation
Alcohol is injected into the arteries of the thickened portion of the heart. This helps to reduce the blockage in the heart and improve blood flow out of the heart.
Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators (ICD)
This ICD is implanted if you are at heightened risk for sudden death.
To help reduce your chances of getting HCM, take the following steps:
- If you have a family member who has been diagnosed with HCM—you and other family members should be screened for the condition
- If family history puts you at higher risk for HCM—regular echocardiograms may reduce the risk of death or complications from HCM
- If you have high blood pressure—take medications and follow other instructions as directed by your physician.

A visiting judge Monday night denied the temporary restraining order to put a halt to the elections or to the counting of votes as it pertained to the two alcohol propositions on the ballot Tuesday in Smith County JP 2 and the city of Tyler - but the plaintiffs' lawyer said after the decision that another lawsuit will be filed if the propositions pass at the polls.
"We knew that the restraining order would be a difficult - it would be a difficult burden to meet," said Matthew Thigpen, managing partner of Ladd and Thigpen, P.C. and lawyer for the plaintiffs. "However, we felt it was appropriate based upon the importance of this matter to our community."
Thigpen represented Delores Radford, a resident of Smith County JP 2, and Richard Lanham, a Tyler resident, in the suit filed Monday against City of Tyler Secretary Cassandra Brager, Tyler Mayor Barbara Bass, Tyler City Council Members Jason Wright, Ralph Caraway, Sam Mezavek, Martin Heines, Mark Whatley and Daryl Bowdre, Smith County Elections Coordinator Karen Nelson, Smith County Clerk Karen Phillips, Smith County Commissioners Jeff Warr, Cary Nix, Terry Phillips, Jo Ann Hampton, and County Judge Joel Baker.
Our cameras were not allowed inside the courtroom Monday, but Thigpen told visiting Judge Andrew Kupper that 6,242 signatures had problems with Texas election code because they are missing data, like failing to provide a registration number or a proper birthdate or were signed by people who didn't live in JP 2 or who signed the petitions twice.
Thigpen also Judge Kupper today that there are 3,733 signatures on pages that did not have the date of issuance on them from the county, which violates another state election code.
Telling the judge those signatures should never have been certified - something Buy Local First Treasurer Bob Westbrook says wasn't the case.
"As the judge ruled today, the city and the county did do their due diligence," he said. "This is the largest community in the state of Texas that still doesn't sell beer and wine off premise, and so there was no doubt in my mind that the city and the county were going to do their due diligence and make sure that everything was checked and double checked."
Thigpen says it's now up to the citizens to decide on Propositions One and Two - but that if they pass, an election contest will be filed in a Smith County court on Wednesday - questioning the validity of the ballots and of the petition signatures.
"I think my clients have every right as citizens of Smith County and as Texas citizens to make sure their elected officials comply with their sworn duties, one of those being as to the certification of ballots.," said Thigpen. "So this is, quite frankly, citizenship in action. If you have a concern, you bring it forth."
Attorneys for the county asked the judge to grant a $50,000 bond if the restraining order had been passed to pay for the cost of a special election.
The city of Tyler's Planning and Zoning Committee will hold a meeting Tuesday afternoon at 1:30 to discuss how the city code will change if the propositions pass Tuesday night.
