Alberta's Matrimonial Property Act, or 'MPA' is the law that is used to try to divide property fairly between spouses when they separate and/or divorce. The MPA provides rules and procedures for who gets which property, who gets to live in the home, and who gets to use household goods and can deal with almost all of the property issues that your family may have.
It applies to all of the property that is being divided up between the spouses and might include property bought by either spouse before, during, or after the marriage.
The MPA applies only in Alberta and only to legally married spouses. The MPA does not apply to common-law spouses. The spouses must be ordinarily resident in Alberta for one year which means that they must have been leading their ordinary lives in Alberta for at least one year before separation/divorce.
The person asking for a matrimonial property Order must show the Court that:
a. Both spouses currently live in Alberta; or
b. Their last joint residence was in Alberta; or
c. If the parties have not established a joint residence since marriage, that each spouse resided in Alberta at the time of the marriage; or
d. That a Statement of Claim for divorce has been filed in Alberta.
If you are not sure if you meet the above requirements, you should get legal advice. In most cases, a lawyer will be needed for any application under the MPA.
An application to divide property under the MPA can be made by itself or with another application (such as divorce, judicial separation, or annulment). A spouse can make an application if he/she has separated but has not yet divorced, or if he/she has begun divorce proceedings.
There are important time limits to follow when starting an application for the division of property after separation.
• Before a divorce judgment but after separation, an application for the division of property must be made within two years of the date of separation.
• If a divorce judgment has been given, any application for property division under the MPA must be made within two years of receiving the judgment or Court Order.
• If a spouse is suspected of selling or giving away property (i.e. to keep it from the other spouse) legal action must begin within one year of the date the property was sold or given away. The Court may order the spouse who sold or gave away the property to repay the other spouse or may divide the rest of the property in a way that makes sure both spouses end up with equal amounts.
• 'Matrimonial Property' is all the property that is acquired by either or both spouses during the marriage. It can be property bought by both spouses together, as a family, or individually. Generally, matrimonial property is divided equally between spouses when a marriage ends, unless the result of this equal division would be unfair.
• Certain kinds of property acquired before the marriage may not be divided when a marriage ends. This is called 'exempt property'.
• However, sometimes the increase in value of exempt property may be considered 'matrimonial property'. An example of this may be that you owned a condo worth $20,000 at the beginning of the marriage. That amount may be exempt from division but if the condo increased in value, the increase may be divided between the spouses.
• This increase in value may not automatically lead to an equal split. The Court will make a decision based on what the Court considers to be fair.
1. Property which may be divided includes:
a. the matrimonial home;
b. household goods (this includes almost all personal property used by family members);
c. R.R.S.P. and employment pensions;
d. business interests;
e. investments, stocks, bonds;
f. cars;
g. other property that has been purchased during the marriage or brought into the matrimonial relationship, or used for the mutual benefit of the spouses;
h. debt and
i. bank accounts.
This is not a complete list and there may be other property that a Court or the partners may decide to divide at the time of separation.
2. Property which might not be divided includes:
a. property acquired by one spouse before the marriage;
b. property one spouse received as a gift;
c. property one spouse received by inheritance;
d. an award or settlement for damages in tort law received by one spouse (i.e. money paid for pain and suffering in an automobile accident) unless the award was meant to compensate both spouses.
• No claim by the other spouse can be made on anything that is listed as property which may not be divided, unless it has been "brought into the marriage".
• If property is "brought into the marriage" it is then considered to be property of both spouses and can be divided.
• An example of "bringing property into the marriage" would be taking a home purchased by one spouse before the marriage and putting it under both spouse's names.
3. Division of Pensions
As noted above, pensions are considered property under the MPA. There are two types of pensions: private pensions (by employment) and the Canada Pension Plan.
Certain pensions may have legislation that determines how the pension will be divided when a marriage ends. Contact your pension administrator to find out if this kind of legislation applies to you.
Division of the Canada Pension Plan is automatic unless both spouses agree otherwise. The reason behind this is to provide some financial protection to a spouse who did not work outside of the home and/or could not reasonably have contributed to the plan. Remember that taking money out of CPP can have significant tax implications.
The MPA requires the Court to be fair in determining what each spouse's share of the property will be. Equal division of property will usually take place unless there are very good reasons presented to the Court that this should not be the case.
When spouses cannot agree on how property will be split, the judge will consider:
• Spousal contributions to the marriage,
• Contributions to the family,
• Business endeavours,
• Financial resources of both spouses,
• The length of the marriage,
• As well as any agreements made.
The judge may also consider:
• Whether a spouse transferred or sold property,
• Previous Court Orders,
• Tax liability one spouse may incur as a result of the transfer/sale of property, and
• Any other relevant circumstances.
The Court will not consider misconduct by a spouse (for example cheating or domestic abuse), unless it relates to the improper use or sale of matrimonial property
If one spouse also owns property outside of Alberta, different rules will apply for the out of province property.
The MPA allows the Courts in Alberta to consider property held outside the province when dividing matrimonial property but Alberta Courts cannot make any orders relating to it. Therefore, what the Court may do is take into account property that is outside of Alberta and then divide the property that is in Alberta in a way that ensures an equal distribution of all of the matrimonial property.
For example, if one spouse has a house outside of Alberta that they will be able to keep in their name, the Court can take this into account when dividing up who will get to keep property in Alberta, such as second home or a car.
"Matrimonial home" can mean a number of different things. It can be:
• A house,
• A part of a house,
• A part of a business that is being used as a house,
• A mobile home,
• A condominium, or
• A suite.
The matrimonial home must be owned or leased by one or both spouses and must be occupied as the family home (i.e. this does not include a summer cottage). The home must be located in Alberta. It does not have to be in both spouses names, to be considered the matrimonial home it must only be lived in as the family home.
Exclusive Possession Orders
If one spouse wants to be able to live in the house after separation either alone or with children, one option is to ask the Court for an Exclusive Possession Order.
An Exclusive Possession Order essentially allows one spouse to keep the other out of the house. This is given when spouses cannot live together peacefully, but neither is willing to leave the home. An application for the matrimonial home may be made 'ex parte' (i.e. without telling the other spouse) if the Court finds that there is potential danger to the spouse making the application or to a child living in the home. If the Court does not believe there is danger in making the application then the other spouse must be told about the application. A Court can grant an Order for exclusive possession even without a threat of danger present.
In granting the Order, the Court may do one or more of the following:
1. Direct that a spouse be given exclusive possession of the home (regardless of whose name the property is in);
2. Direct that a spouse be evicted from the matrimonial home;
3. Stop a spouse from entering or going to the matrimonial home.
When deciding whether a possession Order will be granted, the Court can consider:
o Whether each spouse can find and maintain another place to live;
o The needs of any children living in the home;
o The financial position of each spouse;
o Property of either spouse; and
o Any existing Court orders regarding child or spousal support.
A Court Order for exclusive possession is not easy to get. The person applying for the Order must prove that the MPA guidelines have been met, and that there is good reason for the order (i.e. not that it is simply a matter of them not wanting to move out of the home because moving would be inconvenient).
Note: an Exclusive Possession Order does not change legal ownership of the property. This means that a person may have the right to stay in the house for a period of time but it is still considered matrimonial property that may be divided between the two spouses at a later date.
Under the MPA the Court can only grant an Order to prevent a person from entering or visiting the home but this does not prevent the spouses from contacting on another. If one spouse is harassing the other and they want to prevent contact, he/she has some other options such as an Emergency Protection Order or a Restraining Order.
A spouse can also apply for an Order giving him/her exclusive use of household goods. "Household goods" are defined as personal property owned by at least one of the spouses and used or enjoyed by either spouse or the children - for transportation, household use, educational use, recreational use, social use, or aesthetic purposes. Household goods include motor vehicles, furniture, and appliances. The Court can make this order for any amount of time that the Court thinks is necessary.
If one spouse is being harassed or feels threatened by the other spouse there are a number of options depending on the situation. The type of Order will depend on the type of safety issues facing one or both of the spouses.
1. An Emergency Protection Order (EPO) is designed to protect individuals against immediate violence from family members.
• The Order can prevent a family member from contacting other members of the family.
• This Order is served by the police and lasts for up to one year.
• A violation of the Order may result in a criminal conviction and an even longer protection period.
Changing the terms of the EPO does NOT change the terms of criminal restraints that may already exist (such as a Probation Order).
2. You may also apply for a Restraining Order against a spouse or family member. A lawyer may be needed for this application, and to receive a Restraining Order you will have to show a real or suspected danger to your safety. A Restraining Order can be attached to another action (such as a divorce) or applied for on its own. The other person must be served with a copy of the order, and an automatic review will take place two weeks later at the Court of Queen's Bench. Both you and your spouse will likely have to attend this hearing. The Order should specifically mention all the places your spouse may try to initiate contact (i.e. workplaces etc.).
Some things to remember:
• The Restraining Order should give the police the power to make an arrest if the conditions are not followed (i.e. it should say that the police 'shall' make an arrest, not 'may' make an arrest).
• A copy of the Restraining Order should be kept readily available, in case the police need to see it.
• It may also be a good idea to have the Restraining Order registered with the police and given a case number so law enforcement officials can have immediate access to it if necessary.
Remember that these kinds of Orders are not to be used for alternative purposes (such as an attempt at gaining the upper hand in divorce proceedings). Filing an application based on a false statement can result in a charge of contempt or a fine.
You may make an agreement with your spouse regarding how property will be divided in the event of a separation and/or divorce. To be valid, the agreement must:
• Be in writing;
• Have been entered into freely and NOT have been forced by the spouse or some
other person;
• Show that each spouse had INDEPENDENT LEGAL ADVICE about the effects
of signing the agreement. That means that each spouse must sign the agreement with a different lawyer.
Creating a separation agreement will allow the parties to contract out of the MPA. That means that the MPA will not apply to their property. The spouse must understand that they are giving up their right to use the MPA for any property division issues in the future– this right is being replaced with the agreement.
It is important to note that the Court will not enforce an agreement that it considers to be "unconscionable". An agreement would be unconscionable if one spouse was unable to properly protect his/her own interests at the time of the agreement. Examples of an unconscionable agreement may include taking advantage of a spouse that cannot afford legal advice or lying about property to force an agreement. The Court must consider the agreement to be relatively fair in order to enforce it.
Note: In order to prevent a spouse from selling property while an action is in the works, one may wish to register a certificate of Lis Pendens with the Registrar of Land Titles in the area in which the land is located. You can also apply for an injunction to freeze your spouse's assets. See a lawyer immediately.
If the law surrounding matrimonial property seems somewhat confusing, you are not alone. When in doubt, seek legal advice. If you cannot afford a lawyer, there are services that may be able to assist you in finding one.

Sanction for DPP-4 inhibitor follows FDA nod in May. [Sergey Lavrentev - Fotolia.com]
Boehringer Ingelheim and Eli Lilly received marketing authorization from the EC for linagliptin 5 mg film-coated tablets for the treatment of adults with type 2 diabetes. To be marketed under the trade name Trajenta® in Europe, the drug was sanctioned in combination with metformin and metformin plus sulfonylurea.
Linagliptin was previously approved for use as monotherapy in patients inadequately controlled by diet and exercise alone and for whom metformin is inappropriate due to intolerance or contraindicated due to renal impairment. In the U.S. linagliptin 5 mg is marketed under the trade name Tradjenta™ and was approved in May to be used along with diet and exercise to lower blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes.
"Linagliptin is primarily excreted unmetabolized via bile and gut, meaning no dose adjustment is needed in adult patients with kidney or liver impairment," explains Anthony Barnett, professor of medicine and clinical director of the Department of Diabetes and Endocrinology, Heart of England NHS Foundation Trust, Birmingham, U.K. "This means that linagliptin is available at only one dose."
Klaus Dugi, corporate svp medicine, Boehringer Ingelheim, adds, "The Phase III clinical trial program has demonstrated efficacy with linagliptin in the treatment of adults with type 2 diabetes." Studies have found that linagliptin reduces hemoglobin A1C (HbA1C or A1C) levels by a mean of -0.6 to -0.7%.
The approval of linagliptin in Europe was based on a clinical trial program that involved approximately 6,000 adults with type 2 diabetes. Included in the program were placebo-controlled studies evaluating linagliptin as monotherapy and in combination with metformin and/or sulfonylurea.
In two monotherapy studies, linagliptin showed a statistically significant mean difference in A1C from placebo of -0.6 to -0.7%. In patients who were not adequately controlled on metformin or metformin plus sulfonylurea, the addition of linagliptin also resulted in a statistically significant mean difference in A1C from placebo of -0.6%.
The incidence of hypoglycemia was similar to placebo and weight did not change significantly from baseline, the companies report. In the pooled analysis of the placebo-controlled trials, the overall incidence of adverse events in patients treated with placebo was similar to that seen with linagliptin (53.8% vs. 55%). The most frequently reported adverse reaction was hypoglycemia observed with the triple combination of linagliptin plus metformin plus sulfonylurea.

Oil Climbs to 1-Month High on Manufacturing, Europe Debt Plan
Crude oil rose to a one-month high in New York after manufacturing in the Philadelphia area rebounded and on reports European Union officials have come up with a plan for the region's debt crisis, bolstering the euro.
Futures advanced 0.7 percent as the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia's general economic index rose to 3.2 from minus 7.7. Euro-area leaders may accept a temporary Greek default and ease the terms on bailouts to cash-strapped nations. Prices also rose after the International Energy Agency said it won't extend a release of oil supplies.
"The Philly Fed numbers fed into underlying hopefulness about the economy," said John Kilduff, a partner at Again Capital LLC, a New York-based hedge fund that focuses on energy. "It looks like Europe has come to an agreement about Greece, and with that prospects for the region's economy and fuel demand will improve."
Crude for September delivery rose 73 cents to $99.13 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange, the highest settlement since June 14. Futures have increased 29 percent in the past year.
Brent crude oil for September settlement declined 64 cents, or 0.5 percent, to end the session at $117.51 a barrel on the London-based ICE Futures Europe exchange.
The index of manufacturing in the area covering eastern Pennsylvania, southern New Jersey and Delaware was expected to climb to 2, according to the median of 57 economist forecasts in a Bloomberg News survey. Positive readings in the index signal growth.
Leading Economic Indicators
The Conference Board's index of U.S. leading economic indicators climbed 0.3 percent in June after a 0.8 percent gain in May, the New York-based research group said today. Economists projected a 0.2 percent rise in June, according to the median forecast in a Bloomberg News survey.
The Standard & Poor's 500 Index advanced 1.5 percent to 1,345.74, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average increased 1.3 percent to 12,731.68.
The euro strengthened as European leaders arrived in Brussels seeking solutions for the sovereign debt crisis. Heads of government may cut the interest rates on loans to Greece, Portugal and Ireland to 3.5 percent and double the repayment period to at least 15 years. Europe's main rescue fund may get the power to buy bonds from investors, help countries recapitalize banks and offer precautionary lines of credit.
The euro increased 1.3 percent to $1.4396, and touched $1.4417, the highest level since July 6.
"The weak dollar is giving oil the push to run back above $100," said Stephen Schork, president of the Villanova, Pennsylvania-based Schork Group Inc.
Washington Discussions
Discussions about a broad U.S. budget agreement intensified after a bipartisan group of senators proposed a $3.7 trillion deficit-reduction plan and President Barack Obama embraced it. The Senate's third-ranking Republican leader, Lamar Alexander of Tennessee, endorsed the approach. House Republican leaders, who have denounced proposals for tax increases, didn't rule out the framework from the so-called Gang of Six senators.
"There's increasing optimism that there will be agreement to a debt deal, which is good for the economic outlook," said Peter Beutel, president of Cameron Hanover Inc., a trading advisory company in New Canaan, Connecticut.
The IEA said on June 23 it would offer 60 million barrels of oil to make up for exports choked off by armed conflict in Libya. The action was the third time the agency has coordinated the use of emergency stockpiles since it was founded in 1974. The first was during the 1991 Persian Gulf War and the second in 2005 when Hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf of Mexico.
"There's growing tightness in the market and no resolution to the conflict in Libya is in sight," Kilduff said.
Libyan Output
The Libyan revolt, which began in February, has reduced the availability of light, sweet crude, or oil with low density and sulfur content. The country's output fell 50,000 barrels, or 25 percent, to 150,000 barrels a day last month, a Bloomberg News survey showed, the lowest amount in yearly data since 1962. It pumped 1.59 million barrels in January, before the uprising.
"The IEA barrels are needed right now," said Phil Flynn, vice president of research at PFGBest in Chicago. "The recent inventory declines show that there's obviously demand for higher-quality crude grades."
U.S. crude-oil stockpiles fell 3.73 million barrels to 351.7 million last week, the Energy Department said in a report yesterday. It was the seventh-straight drop, the longest stretch of inventory declines in two years.
Nigerian Shipments
Nigeria, the largest oil producer in Africa, is scheduled to export 2 million barrels a day of 14 major crude grades in September, the lowest in six months, according to loading plans obtained by Bloomberg News. Daily shipments for September will be 4.2 percent less than August.
Oil volume in electronic trading on the Nymex was 486,125 contracts as of 3:05 p.m. in New York. Volume totaled 516,130 contracts yesterday, 23 percent below the average of the past three months. Open interest was 1.48 million contracts, the lowest level since January.

Any suggestion for promoting the collaborative fiction story? I know you have done it much longer.
Mine has been going on less than a year, but we are almost up to 50 weeks. Whew! Just Facebook it, Tweet it, and get your story rolling. I have new people inquire about it all the time. I guess they are coming from contributor's blogs, or seeing the posts on other social networks. "If you build it, they will come" Good Luck. Your turn is coming up soon, by the way.
Hi! Thanks for following my blog. Yours is great and I look forward to reading more
Thanks! Nice to meet you!
I have nominated you for the Work In Progress Challenge. All you have to do is go to my blog and copy down the questions, then write about your work in progress.
Thank you!
Jennifer, thank you for the invitation to collaborate on a writing project. It's not something that I'm available to do at this moment but I appreciate your visit to my blog. Thanks and best wishes, Josephine.
Congratulations Jennifer, i've nominated your blog for an ABC Award. It may involve a little work but hey, nothing is free any more is it!

Hi Jennifer,
Thanks for following my nascent blog, Ironwoodwind. There's more I want to say to you but I have to go to sleep so that I can wake up in 4 hours and drive to the other side of this island (a two hour trip in and of itself). Long day looming but long on fun, too. Forgive me for yammering, but I did want to acknowledge you. I think I'm following your blog but if not I'll surely be by Tuesday next after the dust has settled.

Focus on Women Stories
After years of conflict, women on the Philippines island of Mindanao are taking reconstruction into their own hands. Through projects to reclaim old fishing grounds, start new market gardens and recycle used rice bags into rope, these women are leading the way towards a better future for themselves and their families. Watch video
Until now, Balqisa has rarely had the chance to choose what food she and her family would eat. They are too poor, so they ate whatever they could find. WFP food vouchers are giving her and other vulnerable Afghan families the ability to decide what to put on the table. Watch video
One of the benefits of school meals programmes is that they encourage parents in poor countries to send young girls to school. This means they get an education and, hopefully, the means to pull themselves out of poverty. Without that incentive, school may not be an option – as Salama and Naima found out recently.
Nyipher used to struggle in school. She had trouble paying attention and she'd fall asleep in class. A 14-year-old girl growing up in the slums of Nairobi, her problem wasn't laziness—it was hunger. Then her school started serving meals at lunch and things began to change. Now, she's thinking about college and beyond. Watch video
Nicole Menage, a New Yorker who recently took over as WFP's country director in Nepal, reckons she was pretty lucky with her choice of life partner. Her Italian husband Carlo Pandolfi put his career second to follow Nicole around the world, so she could pursue her career dreams with WFP.

How can pine nuts be optional ;-) We both loved this salad, it really is easy and tasty. I was out of lemons, so used a half lime (I halved the recipe for the two of us). No idea how much olive oil I added, I just squeezed the lime over the salad and then poured olive oil over it. Total keeper for hot summer days. Thanks for sharing!<br/>Made for PAC Spring 2014
Sensational salad that really does transport you to the Mediterranean. I made a few changes out of necessity. I didn't have pine nuts, so used slivered almonds. Nuts really enhance this recipe and should not be optional. I mixed the last five ingredients together as a dressing and poured it over the other ingredients. My lemon yielded 1/4 cup of juice, so I used 3 tablespoons (9 teaspoons) of extra light olive oil. I only had 150 grams of top quality feta (Greek Dodoni), and that was plenty. And now that I am writing this review, I realise that I completely forgot the olives. Oops! There are some leftovers, so I will add them tomorrow for lunch. Thanks Ricky for posting this amazing recipe. If you have more like this in your repertoire, please do post them. Made and immensely enjoyed for Pick a Chef.

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Sep 01st, 2002
Running Time: 100
Director: Eddie James
Company: Al Borda Video
Cast: Kendra Jade, Luna (I), Phoenix (I), Jasse, Celeste (I), Jade (I), Swan
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: All-Sex
Great recommendation for fans of girl-girl or just about anyone.
Gorgeous ladies tell the stories of their first lesbian experiences in this g/g production and there isn't a dick to be found in the mix. The first scene will take you away with two fantastic brunettes rolling around after boxing practice. The scene will have you squirting before the 10-minute mark, but it could use a little more enthusiasm toward the end.
The hot action picks up again quickly and though some scenes are better than others, there is not a bad scene on the tape. The settings are creative, ranging from a bungee swing, to a locker room, to a barn and the action never stops. Just about everyone has a strap-on and the selection of women will knock viewers on their asses. The sex is hot but not too raunchy, there is a threesome but no d.p. Really well directed and very well shot, this one's a keeper that merits many repeat viewings.

Swimming along the Bay Ridge Flats south of Governors Island. Sergio is the other kayaker.
Under the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge
The sun comes out. Coney Island in the distance. With a 10-knot southerly wind and a strong ebb current, we begin to meet wind-against-current chop that soon increases to steep 3-foot breaking seas, precluding meaningful photography for some time...
Past Romer Shoal Light
Now we meet 3-4-foot swells rolling in from the Atlantic

Sandy Hook! A new record for the one-way swim!! Liz talking with the boat crew afterwards.
Everyone relaxes. But now the harder trip back begins...
Liz swimming past West Bank Light
Afternoon sunlight
Back under the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge
Wind has died down, water is glassy calm
But dark clouds threaten
Threading our way back through the Bay Ridge anchorage
Fueled by a couple of cookies, Liz is going strong
Manhattan in sight
Rain begins
The light is failing. Liz is pushing on, with only a couple of miles to go now...
Past Governors Island, with only the final crossing to the Battery remaining. But it's now becoming too dark for photography. Liz finishes in just over 11 hours, setting new records for the swim from Manhattan to Sandy Hook, for the reverse swim from Sandy Hook to Manhattan, and is the first person ever to complete both back-to-back!!

A jury could decide the guilt or innocence of a man accused of sexually assaulting his 4-year-old stepdaughter as early as Monday.
Rene Espinoza, 31, is accused of using an unknown object to penetrate the girl in June 2008.
The state rested Friday after four days of testimony.
Charles Chambers, Espinoza's attorney, called two witnesses Friday and was expected to resume his case Monday.
Jurors have heard testimony of the girl's aunt taking her to the emergency room after finding blood in the girl's panties.
The girl had been saying her genitals hurt and it hurt to urinate, Chisa Taylor, the girl's aunt, testified.
Diana Lott, a sexual assault nurse examiner who examined the girl, testified earlier in the week that she found a notch in the girl's hymen indicative of abuse.
Patricia Salazar, also a SANE, offered additional expert testimony Friday saying the hymenal notch Lott found was almost certainly caused by a penetrating assault.
Salazar had performed an examination on the girl a year before Lott examined her and did not find any abnormality in the girl's genitals — ruling out a congenital defect.
Salazar echoed testimony from multiple witnesses the girl's hygiene was poor, and Chambers asked if the girl's vagina could have taken in a piece of debris and worked it into a hymenal notch like how an oyster makes a pearl. Salazar reiterated that the notch was most likely caused by a sexual assault.
Testimony was scheduled to resume Monday in the 137th District Court.

I know first hand how awesome FYF is! In 2007 I was blessed with two beautiful twin boys born with a horrific disease known as EB. I was at the end of my rope and losing hope that I would be able to get my babies to the best physicians for their condition. Then along came FYF. They are my living angels. Some how, some way, they found out about my situation and got us out of NJ and to California to Stanford University. Although no miracle was found, I was able to get the piece of mind knowing that I did everything possible to save them. My two short months with Kyle and Zack are so precious to me. I cannot find the words, nor do I think there is any, to express my sincere gratitude to Steve Young and his amazing team and angels (Michele to this day keeps in touch with us which means so much to me)!!! During our visit to California, Steve Young let us stay in his home, supplied us with experienced help to educate us on how to care for my sons. Knowing how stressed we were, he even gave my husband and I a few hours to go out on a date, something we had not done in a very long time. I thank God everynight for bringing them to me!!!

I've been fortunate to work with the Forever Young Foundation on the Sophie's Place in Sacramento and have admired their support, consistency, follow through, and willingness to help. The team at FYF is available when needed, has the experience and expertise to plan and execute spectacular events with high profile celebrities, and relationships with a wide variety of professionals that enable their mission of enriching and healing the lives of children.
This is one incredible organization, doing such impactful work! Sutter Children's Center is so thrilled to have partnered with the Forever Young Foundation to build our brand new Sophie's Place! Seeing how FYF has found such a beautiful way to create a lasting legacy for Sophie Barton, using her love of music to bring healing to children and families in hospitals, is truly inspiring. FYF's strong support of music therapy is helping to bring awareness to this very important field, and we are so grateful.

Just being at the ribbon cutting ceremony for their newest location at Sutter Children's Center in Sacramento, CA was a life changing experience. I would encourage you to read my story to really understand the magnitude of how they are truly making a difference.

I've helped with Forever Young Foundation events for about 15 years now. I am blown away by the profound impact it brings to so many children & veterans in need. As an Olympic medalist, I'm asked to do a number of charitable events and the Forever Young events is easily one of the most rewarding I do. I'm so fortunate to be connected with a charity that puts so many smiles on faces that have lost so much!!

Give a child an instrument, and he will play.
Give a child a ball, and she will play.
Give a child a smile and a hand, and he will do the same.
The Forever Young Foundation, cleverly and with thought, seeks out needs and fills them creatively and with care, both in the US and abroad.
Clarity of mission, generosity of time and talent and finances, compassionate and considerate execution, all these these are evident in abundance in the Forever Young scope of endeavor. Most telling, however, is the absolute, unadulterated joy one sees in the faces of the children singing and making music in Sophie's Place's (healing through music found in selected Western US hospitals), or in the smiles and laughter of otherwise under served kids and families experiencing the ski slopes in Utah (winter mountain fun with snow sports and concerts) , and the open and engaged expressions of those who've tasked themselves to help. Nothing, not one thing, says more to me than the pure delight of those being served, and those doing the serving. Forever Young and the talented staff behind the scenes doing the heavy lifting allow the rest of us to meet where the need is, particularly when there are children involved, and continue along that path, together.

Forever Young stays true to their mission statement and is truly a charity of action. Donations are carefully distributed to fufill their mission statement of helping childern in need. Couldn't meet more honest and wonderful people that head up this organization.

I have enjoyed working along side of the Forever Young Foundation. Their amazing continued efforts in the communities they have served are inspiring to everyone who has had the pleasure of working with them. Their dedication to evolving and staying current with partnering charitable needs is admirable and I am excited to watch the foundation grow especially with their newest initiative Sophie's Place. Sophie's Place is life changing for so many children and a blessing to so many hurting families. I feel honored to have gotten the privilege to know those a part of the Forever Young Foundation and wish them great success in their future endeavors.

Description: Elvis Presley made his motion picture debut in the Civil War drama Love Me Tender. Elvis, however, is not the star of the proceedings: that honor goes jointly to Richard Egan and Debra Paget. The story concerns three brothers--Egan, William Campbell and James Drury--who steal a Union payroll on behalf of the Confederacy, only to discover that the war is over and that they're now technically outlaws. Rather than return the money, the brothers divvy it up amongst themselves. Upon returning home, Egan discovers that his sweetheart (Debra Paget) has married Elvis, his youngest brother. Since Love Me Tender has been played incessantly on TV since the early 1960s, it is giving away nothing to reveal that the film is one of two in which Elvis Presley's character dies at the end. Naturally, Elvis is afforded plenty of opportunities to sing: the scene in which he launches into an anachronistic hip-swivelling performance at a county fair is one of the high points of mid-1950s kitsch.~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Students learn the rules and conventions of haiku, study examples by Japanese masters, and create haiku of their own.
The study of humans and animals in cooperation and conflict within folktales from different cultures lends itself to a simple lesson on ecology and endangered species to help students can make connections between the relationships between human beings and animals in folklore and the relationship between people and the environment in our world.
Through examining several examples of tales from around the world that focus on the relationship between people and animals, students will learn about humans living in cooperation with the land and sea and with the beasts that inhabit them. This lesson plan addresses various helpful animal tale types, such as animal nurses who rear great heroes after they have been abandoned as infants, and beasts that lend supernatural aid to humans.
In this lesson plan, students read and learn to understand fairy tales in order to recognize their universal literary structures and themes. They compare similar fairy tales from different cultural and geographic regions of the world to see over-arching plots featuring conflicts between good and evil and imagery and motifs that are repeated across many cultures and time periods.
French Language and World Literature classes will study the works of 19th-century poet Charles Baudelaire and will learn about the connections between the Romantic Movement and themes of 21st-century popular culture.
This lesson sensitizes students to the similarities and differences between cultures by comparing Shakespearean and Bunraku/Kabuki dramas. The focus of this comparison is the complex nature of revenge explored in The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark and Chushingura, or the Treasury of the Loyal Retainers.

Hawaii (i/həˈwaɪ.iː/ or /həˈwaɪʔiː/ in English; Hawaiian: Hawaiʻi) is the most recent of the 50 U.S. states (August 21, 1959), and is the only U.S. state made up entirely of islands. It is the northernmost island group in Polynesia, occupying most of an archipelago in the central Pacific Ocean, southwest of the continental United States, southeast of Japan, and northeast ofAustralia. Hawaii's diverse natural scenery, warm tropical climate, abundance of public beaches and oceanic surrounding, and active volcanoes make it a popular destination for tourists, surfers, biologists, and volcanologists alike. Due to its mid-Pacific location, Hawaii has many North American and Asian influences along with its own vibrant native culture. Hawaii has over a million permanent residents along with many visitors and U.S. military personnel. Its capital is Honolulu on the island of Oʻahu.
The state encompasses nearly the entire volcanic Hawaiian Island chain, which comprises hundreds of islands spread over 1,500 miles (2,400 km). At the southeastern end of the archipelago, the eight "main islands" are (from the northwest to southeast) Niʻihau, Kauaʻi, Oʻahu, Molokaʻi, Lānaʻi, Kahoʻolawe, Maui, and Hawaiʻi. The last is by far the largest and is often called "The Big Island" to avoid confusion with the state as a whole. The archipelago is physiographically and ethnologically part of the Polynesian subregion of Oceania.
Hawaii is the 8th-least extensive, the 11th-least populous, but the 13th-most densely populated of the 50 United States. Hawaii's coastline is approximately 750 miles (1,210 km) long, which isfourth in the United States after Alaska, Florida, and California.
In standard American English, Hawaii is generally pronounced /həˈwaɪ.iː/. In the Hawaiian language, it is generally pronounced [hɐˈwɐiʔi] or [hɐˈvɐiʔi].[citation needed]
Hawaii is one of two states that do not observe daylight saving time, the other being Arizona.
The Hawaiian language word Hawaiʻi derives from Proto-Polynesian *Sawaiki, with the reconstructed meaning "homeland";[7] Hawaiʻi cognates are found in other Polynesian languages, includingMāori (Hawaiki), Rarotongan (ʻAvaiki), and Samoan (Savaiʻi). (See also Hawaiki).
According to Pukui and Elbert,[8] "Elsewhere in Polynesia, Hawaiʻi or a cognate is the name of the underworld or of the ancestral home, but in Hawaiʻi, the name has no meaning."[9]
An archipelago situated some 2,000 mi (3,200 km) southwest of the North American mainland,[20] Hawaii is the southernmost state of the United States and the second westernmost state after Alaska. Only Hawaii and Alaska do not share a border with another U.S. state.
Hawaii is the only state of the United States that is not geographically located in North America, grows coffee, is completely surrounded by water, is entirely anarchipelago, has royal palaces, and does not have a straight line in its state boundary.
Hawaii's tallest mountain, Mauna Kea, stands at 13,796 ft (4,205 m)[21] but is taller than Mount Everest if followed to the base of the mountain, which, lying at the floor of the Pacific Ocean, rises about 33,500 ft (10,200 m).[22]
The eight main islands, Hawaiʻi, Maui, Oʻahu, Kahoʻolawe, Lanaʻi, Molokaʻi, Kauaʻi and Niʻihau are accompanied by many others. Kaʻala is a small island near Niʻihau that is often overlooked. The Northwest Hawaiian Islands are a series of nine small, older masses northwest of Kauaʻi that extend from Nihoa to Kure that are remnants of once much larger volcanic mountains. There are also more than 100 small rocks and islets, such as Molokini, that are either volcanic, marine sedimentary or erosional in origin, totaling 130 or so across the archipelago.[23]Geology
All the Hawaiian islands were formed from volcanic activity initiated at an undersea magma source called a hotspot. As the tectonic plate beneath much of the Pacific Ocean moves to the northwest, the hot spot remains stationary, slowly creating new volcanoes. Due to the hotspot's location, the only active volcanoes are located around the southern half of the Big Island. The newest volcano,Lōʻihi Seamount, is located south of the Big Island's coast.
The last volcanic eruption outside the Big Island occurred at Haleakalā on Maui before the late 18th century, though it could have been hundreds of years earlier.[24] In 1790, Kīlauea exploded with the deadliest eruption (of the modern era) known to have occurred in what is now the United States.[25] As many as 5,405 warriors and their families marching on Kīlauea were killed by that eruption.[26]
Volcanic activity and subsequent erosion have created impressive geological features. The Big Island has the third highest point among the world's islands.[27]
Slope instability of the volcanoes has generated damaging earthquakes with related tsunamis, particularly in 1868 and 1975.[28] Steep cliffs have been caused by catastrophic debris avalanches on the submerged flanks of ocean island volcanos.[29][30]Flora and fauna
Because the islands are so far from other land habitats, life before human activity is said to have arrived by the "3 W's": wind (carried through the air), waves (brought by ocean currents), and wings (birds, insects, and whatever they brought with them). This isolation, and the wide range of environments (extreme altitude, tropical climate) produced a vast array of endemic flora and fauna (seeEndemism in the Hawaiian Islands). Hawaii has more endangered species and has lost a higher percentage of its endemic species than any other U.S. state.[31]Protected areas
Several areas in Hawaii are under the protection of the National Park Service.[32] Hawaii has two national parks: Haleakala National Park near Kula, on Maui, includes Haleakalā, the dormant volcano that formed east Maui; and Hawaii Volcanoes National Park in the southeast region of the island of Hawaiʻi, which includes the active volcano Kīlauea and its various rift zones.
There are three national historical parks: Kalaupapa National Historical Park in Kalaupapa, Molokaʻi, the site of a former Hansen's disease colony; Kaloko-Honokōhau National Historical Park inKailua-Kona on the island of Hawaiʻi; and Puʻuhonua o Hōnaunau National Historical Park, an ancient place of refuge. Other areas under the control of the National Park Service include Ala Kahakai National Historic Trail on the Big Island and the USS Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor on Oʻahu.
The Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument was proclaimed by President George W. Bush on June 15, 2006. The monument covers roughly 140,000 square miles (360,000 km2) of reefs, atolls and shallow and deep sea out to 50 miles (80 km) offshore in the Pacific Ocean, larger than all of America's National Parks combined.[33]
Hawaii's climate is typical for the tropics, although temperatures and humidity tend to be a bit less extreme due to near-constant trade winds from the east. Summer highs are usually in the upper 80s °F, (around 31 °C) during the day and mid 70s, (around 24 °C) at night. Winter day temperatures are usually in the low to mid 80s, (around 28 °C) and (at low elevation) seldom dipping below the mid 60s (18 °C) at night. Snow, not usually associated with the tropics, falls at 4,205 metres (13,796 ft) on Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa on the Big Island in some winter months. Snow rarely falls on Haleakala. Mount Waiʻaleʻale, on Kauaʻi, has the second highest average annual rainfall on Earth, about 460 inches (11.7 m). Most of Hawaii has only two seasons: the dry season from May to October, and the wet season from October to April.[34]
Local climates vary considerably on each island, grossly divisible into windward (Koʻolau) and leeward (Kona) areas based upon location relative to the higher mountains. Windward sides face cloud cover, so resorts concentrate on sunny leeward coasts.

Interior Secretary Scraps Oil-Shale Leasing
WASHINGTON -- The Obama administration Wednesday put the brakes on plans to develop oil shale on federal land in Western states, the latest in a series of moves to slow down or reverse Bush administration-era policies to promote oil and gas production.
Interior Secretary Ken Salazar withdrew a lease offer made last month for research, development and demonstration projects involving oil shale. The projects could have built a case for commercial development of oil shale in Colorado, Wyoming and Utah.
Mr. Salazar said the agency will eventually allow the research projects to go forward, but that the solicitation issued by the Bush administration days before Mr. Obama's inauguration would have allowed companies to pay royalty rates that would shortchange taxpayers.
Mr. Salazar said the bureau will instead begin a 90-day public comment period, that among other things would allow opponents of oil-shale exploration to weigh in and influence a final decision on issues such as royalty rates.
"If oil-shale technology proves to be viable on a commercial scale, taxpayers should get a fair rate of return from their resource," Mr. Salazar said.
Mr. Salazar, as a Colorado senator from 2005 until this year, strongly opposed the Bush administration's efforts to accelerate shale development. He has expressed concern about the amount of water and electricity that would be required to develop the resource and about the boom-bust history of oil-shale development, whose economics have tended to rise and fall with oil prices.
"Those who fantasize that oil shale is a panacea for the nation's energy needs have been living in a fantasy land," Mr. Salazar said.
Oil shale is a fine-grained sedimentary rock containing organic matter from which oil may be produced. According to Bureau of Land Management estimates, U.S. oil-shale reserves could yield 800 billion barrels of oil, triple the current proven reserves of Saudi Arabia. But tapping oil shale's potential requires heating rocks buried deep beneath the earth to hundreds of degrees Fahrenheit, a process that requires large amounts of energy and which environmentalists worry will damage pristine wilderness lands, contaminate or deplete scarce groundwater reserves and significantly increase greenhouse-gas emissions.
Oil companies have been working on ways to develop oil shale economically and with minimal environmental impact, but their solutions are years away from commercial use.
Mr. Salazar said he couldn't say for sure how much energy firms should have to pay in royalty rates for shale projects. Under regulations adopted by the Bush administration last fall, companies that develop shale on federal land would pay a royalty rate of 5% of the value of the produced resource for the first five years of the lease. The rate would gradually rise over the following years to 12.5%, the standard rate for onshore oil and natural gas leases, according to the American Petroleum Institute.
Mr. Salazar's announcement coincided with a congressional hearing at which executives from major oil companies called on the Obama administration and Congress to allow more access to domestic offshore petroleum. Earlier this month, Mr. Salazar angered oil industry officials by extending by 180 days the deadline for the public to comment on a proposal issued under the Bush administration that would allow energy companies to drill for oil and natural gas in half a dozen areas off U.S. shores that had previously been off limits; Mr. Salazar said the original deadline of March 23 didn't provide enough time for public review.
Also this month, Mr. Salazar shelved a BLM plan developed during the Bush administration to lease wilderness areas of Utah for oil and gas drilling, saying the step was needed to protect the step was needed to protect "American iconic treasures."
"It's a pattern of delay that's shortsighted and stalls another critical component of our energy security," Andy Radford, a spokesman for the American Petroleum Institute, said Wednesday.

It always made me sad when they fought ^.^
Marvel does seem to have an obsession with it. Even when it's one little slip-up during a mental breakdown.
i know....fucking MARVEL!!!
Aws, so true D: *goes back to lala land where the Civil War never happened*
given how funny the Fights and the later reunion were, I liked their Fights
I agree with you.
They make an odd but yet good team.
They make an odd but yet good team.
looooooooool you yaoi fans are so funny
Deadpool wasn't even one of Cables worst foes when they first fought! Stryfe was WAY worse!
true but take into account that deadpool probably lived 4 or 5 lifetimes by the time he fought Stryfe. His healing factor worked nothing like it used to lol.
What?! Deadpool is that old?!
he just lived that many lifetimes in that story arch, because cable and everyone time traveled to the future that far and well... DP can't die... and he was locked in a freezer
I hope for his sake Deadpool keeps his sense of humor, after reading what you've sent I think he's going to NEED it!
No deadpool is not that old normally. In his normal comics his age coincides very mystriously with Ryan Reynolds'. (Theres a little bit of trivia for you lol) but I think as Reynolds goes on, DP will still be about 30 in his comics. I don't think they did the age match thing intentionally btw

Variation in red rot pathogen Colletotrichum falcatum Went was studied in detail in relation to host resistance in 12 genotypes belonging to six sugarcane species viz., S. officinarum, S. barberi, S. sinense, S. robustum, S. spontaneum and Erianthus sp. In which the host resistance and sucrose content of different species have been correlated with pathogenic virulence. It was observed that S. officinarum genotypes had high brix than other species of Saccharum and allied genera. Cultural studies indicated that C. falcatum virulence related factors viz., growth, sporulation and conidial germination had negative correlation with the host resistance and positive correlation with sucrose content of various sugarcane species juice. Influence of unautoclaved host extract on pathogenic characters indicates that the factors other than sucrose content plays role in deciding the host resistance. Pathogenicity studies showed that there is selectivity in differentiating the host resistance of various species by C. falcatum pathotypes especially less virulent isolates reacted well in clones with low sucrose content. Hence selection of genotypes from different species depends on pathotype virulence and the selection must be from well reacted and distinguished isolates for effective screening.

After determining the usual malassezic biota of the scalp in adult, normal persons, 259 patients with different desquamative diseases were studied by a simple adhesive tape technique. The main purpose of this study was to investigate the utility of this technique to improve the diagnosis and treatment of patients. Most patients with seborrhoeic dermatitis and sebopsoriasis demonstrated large numbers of {it Malassezia} spp. cells corresponding to the so called ``pityrosporosis''. Only 43.6% of patients with pityriasis capitis (dandruff) presented with such a diagnosis. Symptomatic pityrosporosis of the scalp should be treated with imidazolic derivatives or other antifungal substances. Patients with psoriasis of the scalp showed a typical microscopic picture represented by parakeratosic (nucleated) keratinocytes with absence of lipophilic yeasts which should be attributed to the usual dryness of the scales .Microbial epidermitis (eczema) of the scalp revealed another characteristic picture constituted by abundant leukocytes and bacteria without the presence of yeasts. The different microscopic pictures seen with this simple technique for diseases of the scalp, offer an adjunct to make a proper diagnosis and to establish a convenient treatment in cases which are not clinically well defined.

NGC Receives $238 M Contract Modification for LAIRCM Missile Defense System
Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE:NOC) has been awarded a $238 million modification to a previously awarded firm-fixed-price contract from the U.S. Air Force to provide hardware and support for the Large Aircraft Infrared Countermeasure (LAIRCM) system.
Critical to the safe return of troops abroad, LAIRCM automatically detects a missile launch, determines if it is a threat and activates a high-intensity laser-based countermeasure system to track and defeat the missile.
Global Airborne Laser Obstacle Avoidance Monitoring Systems Market 2016-2020
Under the terms of the contract modification, Northrop Grumman will deliver additional transmitters, missile warning sensors, processors, lasers, control interface units and supporting equipment to the Air Force through April 2016.
"This represents a continuation of a 14-year relationship with the Air Force to protect our aircrews," said Carl Smith, vice president of infrared countermeasures programs at Northrop Grumman's Land and Self Protection Systems Division. "Our LAIRCM open architecture has enabled this system to be upgraded and enhanced over time to introduce new technologies to counter emerging threats, while decreasing system cost, and steadily increasing reliability leading to an excellent total life cycle cost for the system."
Northrop Grumman's various infrared countermeasure systems are now installed or scheduled for installation on more than 1,000 military aircraft around the world to protect 54 different types of large fixed-wing transports and rotary-wing platforms from infrared missile attacks. Northrop Grumman and our teammate Selex ES have delivered more than 3,250 Pointer/Trackers to protect these aircraft, supporting greater than 1 million hours of theatre operation.

text: I have just installed Path as a theme, and like it a lot. One annoying issue I keep having, though, is that I can't get links to work in the shortened/excerpt texts on the main/index page. This applies to 'read more' links not being shown if there is an excerpt available or the 'more' tag is used, but also to links to document files etc. Is there a fix/workaround for this? Thanks a lot in advance!
