Future of Egyptian churches filled with hope, uncertainty under Muslim rule
Leaning on a crutch to support his broken leg, Coptic Christian activist Boulis Zake explains to our group that the church had encouraged him not to participate in the demonstrations in Cairo's Tahrir Square. Coptic Orthodox church leaders, he says, regarded former Egyptian president and strongman Hosni Mubarak as a savior.
On Dec. 17, 2010, in a protest leading up to Egypt's Arab Spring revolution, soldiers broke Boulis' femur and arm, and bloodied his head so that he needed 40 stitches.
Christian churches had averaged one violent incident a year over the last 10 years, he says, but lately there have been many more. For example, on New Year's Eve 2010, a bombing outside a church in Alexandria on the Mediterranean coast killed 23 persons and wounded more than 90.
So, we ask him, now that the Muslim Brotherhood and the ultra-conservative Salafis (pronounced SAL-a-feez) have around 70 percent of the seats in the new Parliament, even if they don't ally with each other, what will the future look like for Christians in Egypt?
Will the government be more like Saudi Arabia and impose a strict interpretation of Islam, banning alcohol, for example, and regulating how women must dress?
"No one knows the future," Boulis tells us.
A reality tour
Our group of eight North Americans is on a Reality Tour organized by Global Exchange, a social justice organization based in San Francisco. The trip was planned to include Jan. 25, the first anniversary of the revolution.
During our two weeks in Egypt, we meet with more than two dozen scholars, activists, pastors, Egyptologists, and Bedouins. The issue of the future for Christians in Egypt keeps coming up.
According to the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life, Christians number roughly 5 percent, or about 4 million, of Egypt's 80 million people. But estimates vary. Nigel Hetherington, an anthropologist who spends an afternoon with our group, puts the number between 8 and 10 percent of the overall population.
For the most part, Muslims and Christians live and work together peacefully, although government practices often discriminate against Christians.
Homes bulldozed
In Luxor, a historic tourist city on the Nile in Upper (southern) Egypt, the Rev. Mahrous Karam, pastor of Evangelical Presbyterian Church of Egypt, describes how the government has bulldozed many homes of his members in order to create a Las Vegas-style, rebuilt Avenue of the Sphinxes. In doing so, government officials promised money as recompense but then didn't deliver on the promises, leaving many homeless, he says.
On the other hand, the Rev. Benjamin Hanna, pastor of St. Mary Coptic Orthodox Church in Luxor, feels positive about church-state relations. In Luxor, he says, interactions between Muslims and Christians are very good. "They all believe in God and read the Koran and the Bible," he tells us, "and if they will follow what those books say, things will be okay."
As we are leaving the church, though, Nigel Hetherington explains that in order to build a church, you need government approval. Muslims, however, do not need similar approval to build a new mosque.
UCC partner helpful
Currently, a 20-man military council is running Egypt — and many questions remain: Who will write the new constitution? When will the president be elected? Both are scheduled to be complete by June, but nothing is definite. And the biggest question of all is when will the military cede power to civilian control?
According to Ibrahim Makram of the Coptic Evangelical Organization for Social Services (CEOSS), the revolution brought many issues out into the open. "This means that more people will be watching," he says, "so there will be less opportunity for the government to hijack the process or trick the people."
CEOSS is a partner of the United Church of Christ and played a "big role" in the revolution, Makram says. This included supporting the revolution before Mubarak stepped down and aiding in reconciling different cultural groups.
It also serves an important role "on the ground," he says, since its huge program provides social services for 1.5 million persons every year, important for trust-building and reconciliation. These services include health programs and programs related to women's issues, education, and children at risk.
And what about the future for Christians in Egypt under a Muslim government? Makram smiles. "I am personally optimistic," he says.
The Rev. W. Evan Golder, editor emeritus of United Church News, and his wife, Deborah, a retired nurse, recently returned from the Cairo, Egypt, Reality Tour. Global Exchange operates Reality Tours around the globe – offering participants an opportunity to journey to other countries to examine a situation first-hand, to see beyond what is communicated by the mass media.

Just out of curiousity, where does everyone stand right now with their collections? What haven't you found?
For me, it's Tessek and the new Vader wave. I ordered the Tie Inter. from ToysRUs.com, but have yet to see it in the store.
Just out of curiousity, where does everyone stand right now with their collections? What haven't you found?
For me, it's Tessek and the new Vader wave. I ordered the Tie Inter. from ToysRUs.com, but have yet to see it in the store.
There's a lot of things I haven't found yet.
If I had to make a list of what I haven't found or don't have yet I'd just be waisting my time typing it out.
I went yesterday to the local SW store and got Shmi and Jedi Training OB1!!! POTJ line is now complete, i'm still missing that EP1 Theed Generator Complex though...
As always...........L
As far as POTJ goes I have almost everything. I am missing the new Vader and Han.
As for carded figures I am missing:
Darth Maul Armor
Qui-Gon Armor
Obi-Wan Cold Weather
Jar-Jar Tatooine
Luke X-Wing
I have all of these loose, and will eventually get them carded!
I do have all of the newer ships loose/mint and complete with original boxes, though they look much better OUT of the box :-)
May the force be with you.
I'm only looking for EW Vader (Entertainment Weekly Vader? Huh? What's that? ) X-Wing Luke and Death Star Han.
As far as vehicles are concerned....Skiff, Y-Wing, and TIE Interceptor ......Damn Exclusives....
(I hate you Target.... )
The couple of latest waves,Luke-X-wing wave I need and a couple of figures from different waves I still need to find
''You fool, my reach is far greater than the Jedi.Only a Sith can wield the force over such a great distance.'' - Darth Sidious
I picked up an extra TIE Interceptor if your interested LMK. I was hoping to use it for trade, but noone was especially interested in it.
My local TRU got SEVERAL shipments of these :-)
May the force be with you.
I don't know about the rest of you, but I still haven't found either of the two Scout Troopers. What's up with that, I though they released the dirty version just to accomodate demand because they made so few of the cleans. The dirty version seems to be just as scarce as the clean one. I found the Sandtrooper at Electronics Boutique but they wanted $8 for it so I passed, I haven't seen it since.
Overall, I'm still missing the Bespin Guard -w- Freeze Chamber, Tusken Raider -w- Banth, and the Swoop Rider -w- Swoop.
DACK: "Hey Luke, I must be a jedi too because I can see right through this snowspeeder."
I haven't yet sighted Shmi, Obi-Wan, Luke X-Wing, Han, or Emperor's Wrath Vader yet in my area. You can blame it all on the Jek Porkins, Chewie Mechanics, and Leia Bespins that clog the pegs; the stores probably won't order or stock them until those are cleared. And it doesn't help that KB is overloaded with the Dagobah wave, and some area Wal-Marts appear like they aren't going to stock any Star Wars stuff for a while. Toys R Us has probably had them, but I can't sleep overnight in the parking lot like the scalpers do, just to get first crack at them.
Oh well, they will probably be warming the pegs in a few months, and I will look back at this post and laugh.
"The dark side clouds everything. Impossible to see, the future is. But this I am sure of - do their duty the Jedi will." --Yoda from Attack of the Clones.
Just need Vader, E's Wrath. I've just missed him two separate times at different Targets in Los Angeles. Otherwise, I'm all caught up. I'm traveling home to Dallas this week for a few days. Maybe I'll check the local stores there and return with some goodies...

This video (no audio) shows the development of three-dimensional digital models to study fossils that may be evidence of the earliest living animals. The modeling by Situ Studio, a Brooklyn-based design studio and digital fabrication firm, made it possible to analyze fossils that could not be excavated from the surrounding rock using conventional techniques, or imaged using X-ray scanning techniques.

Possible discovery of earliest animal life pushes back fossil record
In findings that push back the clock on the scientific world's thinking about when animal life appeared on Earth, Princeton scientists may have discovered the oldest fossils of animal bodies, suggesting that primitive sponge-like creatures were living in ocean reefs about 650 million years ago. The shelly fossils, found beneath a 635 million-year-old glacial deposit in South Australia, represent the earliest evidence of animal body forms in the current fossil record by at least 70 million years.
Previously, the oldest known fossils of hard-bodied animals were from two reef-dwelling organisms that lived about 550 million years ago -- Namacalathus, discovered in 2000 by John Grotzinger's group at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Cloudina, first found in 1972 by Gerard Germs of the University of Cape Town, South Africa. Additionally, there are controversial fossils of soft-bodied animals that date to the latter part of the Ediacaran period between 577 and 542 million years ago. These fossils were first observed in the 1940s by Australian geologist Reginald Sprigg, and the oldest evidence to date of undisputed Ediacaran animals -- organisms called Kimberella -- was found in sediment about 555 million years old in Australia and Russia.

Princeton geosciences professor Adam Maloof and graduate student Catherine Rose happened upon the new fossils while working on a project focused on the severe ice age that marked the end of the Cryogenian period 635 million years ago. Their findings, published in the Aug. 17 issue of the journal Nature Geosciences, provide the first direct evidence that animal life existed before -- and probably survived -- the severe "snowball Earth" event known as the Marinoan glaciation that left much of the globe covered in ice at the end of the Cryogenian.
"We were accustomed to finding rocks with embedded mud chips, and at first this is what we thought we were seeing," Maloof said. "But then we noticed these repeated shapes that we were finding everywhere -- wishbones, rings, perforated slabs and anvils. By the second year, we realized we had stumbled upon some sort of organism, and we decided to analyze the fossils. No one was expecting that we would find animals that lived before the ice age, and since animals probably did not evolve twice, we are suddenly confronted with the question of how some relative of these reef-dwelling animals survived the 'snowball Earth.'"
Find viewed as significant
"These scientists have found that animals may have appeared on Earth 90 million years earlier than previously known," said H. Richard Lane, program director for the Directorate for Geosciences of the National Science Foundation's Division of Earth Sciences, which funded the research. "This is comparable to resetting modern times to begin during the late Cretaceous."
Analyzing the fossils turned out to be easier said than done, as the composition and location of the fossils made it such that they could not be removed from the surrounding rock using conventional techniques, nor could they be imaged using X-ray scanning techniques. This is because X-rays are only able to distinguish between materials with different densities, which is why they can be used to image bones that are inside the human body or buried within a rock. But the most ancient skeletal fossils are made not of bone, but of calcite -- the same material that makes up the rock matrix in which they are embedded. Therefore X-rays could not be used to "illuminate" the newly discovered fossils and the researchers had to develop and refine another method.
Maloof, Rose and their collaborators teamed up with professionals at Situ Studio, a Brooklyn-based design and digital fabrication studio, to create three-dimensional digital models of two individual fossils that were embedded in the surrounding rock. As part of the process, team members shaved off 50 microns of sample at a time -- about half the width of a human hair -- and photographed the polished rock surface each time. The team ground and imaged nearly 500 slices of the rock.
Using specialized software techniques developed specifically for this project, the researchers then "stacked" the outlines on top of one another to create a complete three-dimensional model of the creature. The technique is similar to the way in which CAT scan technology combines a series of two-dimensional X-rays to create a three-dimensional image of the inside of the body. The technique that was developed served to automate the process -- turning a prohibitively time-consuming task into an efficient and effective method for fossil reconstruction.
A Princeton-led team of researchers, in conjunction with experts at Situ Studio, used a serial grinding and imaging process to analyze hundreds of slices through a single fossil. Special computer techniques were then used to create a digital reconstruction of the specimen, producing a three-dimensional model of the roughly 650 million-year-old creature. (Image courtesy of the Maloof lab/Situ Studio)
"For Situ Studio, the most exciting aspect of this collaboration is that we were able to successfully employ knowledge developed within an architectural practice to help solve problems in an entirely different field -- applying design tools to spatial problems on a completely different scale," said Bradley Samuels, a founding partner of Situ Studio. "It became an exercise in marrying disparate bodies of knowledge to address pressing questions in the geosciences."
When they began the digital reconstruction process, the shape of some of the two-dimensional slices made the researchers suspect they might be dealing with the previously discovered Namacalathus, a goblet-shaped creature featuring a long body stalk topped with a hollow ball. But their model revealed irregularly shaped, centimeter-scale animals with a network of internal canals.
These critters looked nothing like Namacalathus.
After considering a variety of alternatives, the researchers decided that the fossil organisms most closely resembled sponges -- simple filter-feeding animals that extract food from water as it flows through specialized body channels. Previously, the oldest known undisputed fossilized sponges were about 520 million years old, dating to the Cambrian Period.
But evidence has suggested that sponges appeared on the scene much earlier in Earth history. For example, scientists have conducted detailed analyses of genetic material in a wide range of organisms to create "molecular clocks" that suggest how long ago a given species evolved. According to these clocks, sponges existed millions of years before the Cambrian. This has been supported by the relatively recent discovery of lipid biomarkers -- essentially, traces of recalcitrant fats that resist degradation over millions of years -- in sedimentary rocks from Oman of nearly the same age as those studied by the Maloof group in Australia.
Laura Poppick, at left, and Blake Dyer, members of the research group of Princeton geoscientist Adam Maloof, measure a stratigraphic section through the Trezona Formation at Trezona Bore, West Central Flinders, South Australia, which is the area where sponge fossils were found that could be the oldest animal bodies ever discovered. (Photo by Adam Maloof)
"For many years the great Marinoan ice age has formed a hard floor to the fossil record of animals, even though most molecular clocks suggest a deeper history, at least for sponges," said evolutionary biologist Andrew Knoll of Harvard University, who was not part of the research team. "Adam and his students are digging deeper and finding that there is much to catch our attention in pre-glacial carbonate rocks … . I'm convinced that the structures Adam's group have found are not simply shards of material, formed and deposited by purely physical processes. That said, it isn't easy to be sure what they are. Adam's group has carefully spelled out the biological alternatives and built a reasonable case for interpreting the structures as sponge-like animals. At the very least, this should drive paleontologists back to the field to seek similar or better evidence in other rocks of comparable age."
In future research, Maloof and his collaborators intend to refine the three-dimensional digital reconstruction technique to automate and increase the speed of the process. This could have a significant impact on paleontology, enabling the analysis of myriad early fossils that are currently inaccessible to the tools of modern science.
In addition to Maloof and Rose, Princeton researchers on the team included geosciences professor Frederik Simons, former postdoctoral fellow Claire Calmet, Nan Yao, the director of the Imaging and Analysis Center in the Princeton Institute for the Science and Technology of Materials (PRISM), and PRISM senior research specialist Gerald Poirier. The team also included Douglas Erwin of the Smithsonian Institution and Samuels, Robert Beach, Basar Girit, Wesley Rozen, Sigfus Briedfjord and Aleksey Lukyanov of Situ Studio. The work was funded by the National Science Foundation.

Aphids suck the life out of many garden plants with their piercing mouth parts and often transmit viruses. Plants that have curled, distorted leaves or that are covered with sticky honeydew are likely aphid infested.
If these tiny, pear-shaped pests have plagued cool-season crops like lettuce and broccoli in the past, start them indoors early so you can set out good-sized transplants 4 to 5 weeks before your last frost date. In other words, start lettuce and other quick-growers indoors 8 weeks before your last frost. Start broccoli, cauliflower, and other slower-growers indoors 12 weeks before your last frost date. Early planting will help to minimize the aphid-caused virus problems. And don't let cool-season crops linger as the weather warms up—pull them up and replace them before they bolt and become an aphid breeding ground.
Here's a fall-planting tip for gardeners in the South: Wait 2 to 4 weeks after most of the cotton is harvested before you plant your fall crops of lettuce and spinach. Aphids love to feed on cotton and they will search for their next meal right after the crop is harvested. By setting out fall transplants after the cotton is harvested, your crops will be less likely to be troubled by hungry aphids.
Cabbage Looper
To prevent these light green caterpillars from chewing up your cabbage and other brassicas, choose quick-to-mature varieties that you can harvest by late spring or early summer—before the first wave of loopers hits. Start the seeds indoors, 12 weeks before the last frost date, then transplant them to the garden when they are 7 to 8 weeks old.
To avoid fall crop damage, start transplants indoors about 18 weeks before your first fall frost so you can put 7-to 8-week-old plants in the garden about 10 weeks before your first fall frost.
Prevent Damage from Aphids, Cucumber Beetles and More with this Shiny Cure! Learn more.
Cabbage Maggot
When brassica crops wilt unexplainably, the most likely cause is cabbage maggots. The first wave of these little root and stem feeders in early spring usually is the most destructive. By delaying planting until after yellow rocket (wild mustard) has bloomed, you can avoid these maggots.
If there are no brassicas (such as the yellow rocket) in the garden for the adult flies to lay their eggs around (which eventually hatch into those root-eating maggots), they'll move on. If you're direct-seeding your crops, wait a week after the peak of yellow rocket's bloom to sow. Wait about two weeks if you're putting out transplants.
Corn Earworm
One of the most destructive sweet corn pests in North America, corn earworms chew through the silks and into the tips of the ears, making an unattractive mess. Plant early maturing varieties as early as possible to avoid sharing your sweet corn. Corn planted much after that will probably be silking just as the corn earworm moths are looking to lay their eggs.
Consider starting your corn indoors in peat pots and then transplanting, pots and all. Corn won't germinate in cool soil, but it grows just fine in it.
Colorado Potato Beetle
Simply delay planting your potatoes for 7 to 14 days after the usual planting date in your area and you could defeat this defoliating pest! Adult Colorado potato beetles (CPBs) emerge from the soil in early spring. If they don't find any potato plants, they move on.
Just be sure you plant fast-maturing varieties so the tubers will be a good size when the second generation of beetles comes around in midsummer. A little leaf chewing by the beetles (who only eat the above-ground growth) at that point won't hurt your harvest.
To further protect your late-planted potatoes, build a trench trap when you plant your potatoes. Surround the bed with a 16-inch-deep vertical-sided trench lined with black plastic—the beetles will crawl to get to the potatoes, fall into the trench, and won't be able to escape.

European Corn Borer
Another sweet corn menace that can be outwitted by planting time! This caterpillar is a pest in northern and central United States and southern Canada. Bent tassels or broken, chewed leaves and ears with holes in them are the signs of European corn borer damage.
To combat this corn pest, you must avoid very early and very late corn plantings. For most, that means planting corn about 2 weeks after the last frost date (or as close as possible to the midpoint of your corn-planting season). If your corn usually suffers from both of these pests, choose the timing that will beat your most troublesome pest.
Flea Beetles
These jumpy little black beetles chew small, rounded holes in the leaves of many vegetables (such as brassicas, eggplant, potatoes, and tomatoes). They sometimes kill seedlings. If you've had flea beetle problems in previous years, avoid them by delaying the planting of susceptible crops by a week or two beyond normal planting times for your region.
Because flea beetles overwinter as adults, full-size adult beetles appear in your garden very early in the season. If food isn't there when the adults emerge, they won't lay their eggs in the garden, which means fewer problems later in the season. When you do plant, use transplants rather than direct-seeding your crops whenever possible—transplants can withstand flea beetle damage much better than young sprouts.
Mix Up Flea Beetles: Timing planting right helps prevent flea beetle problems, and so can interplanting, says Sally Cunningham, author of Great Garden Companions. "One year I planted eggplants all alone in one area, and in another place, I interspersed eggplants with marigolds and basil," Sally says. "Guess what? The solo eggplants were full of holes, but the other ones were camouflaged enough that they squeaked through the season undiscovered! Flea beetles are easily confused."
Pepper Weevil
Found across the south from California to Florida, these weevils puncture immature peppers with their sharp snouts and lay eggs in the peppers. The eggs hatch and the larvae feed on the peppers, causing them to turn yellow, get misshapen, and/or drop from the plant.
But you won't witness such horrors in your garden if you start your peppers indoors and plant them outside as early as possible (about 2 weeks after the last frost), before the weevil population builds up. At the end of the season, get your peppers out of the garden as fast as possible, too—allowing the plants to linger will invite future weevil problems.
Root Knot Nematodes
These tiny, eel-like creatures feed on the roots of almost all veggies and are especially problematic in the warm, sandy soils of southern and coastal regions. Affected plants look weak and sickly. Their roots are covered with galls (knobby, abnormal growths).
Early spring planting (at least 4 weeks before the last frost) is the key to getting a good harvest of crops like lettuce, broccoli, and cauliflower, because nematodes don't become active until soil temperatures are fairly warm. Start your broccoli and cauliflower indoors about 12 weeks before the last frost and plant them outdoors when they are 7 to 8 weeks old. Lettuce and other greens should be started 8 weeks before the last frost and planted outside when the seedlings are 4 weeks old.
In fall, reverse this timing: Delay lettuce, spinach, and other cool-season plantings until the soil temperature drops below 64ºF. Choose nematode-resistant varieties when you can.
Sweet Potato Whitefly
These tiny, sap-sucking insects attack vegetables just about everywhere in North America. When infested plants are disturbed, clouds of adult whiteflies fly into the air. The greatest damage to plants is done by the viruses they transmit.
Allowing 2 weeks between crops is an effective way to control whiteflies. After you harvest one crop, clean up and allow a 2-week fallow period before planting the next. Sweet potato whiteflies will have nothing to feed on during those 2 weeks and will either die off or move on.
In the fall, a simple delay in planting will help. In the South, wait about 2 weeks after the late summer cotton harvest to avoid the masses of whiteflies that were feeding on the cotton.

Henry County Human Remains Identified as Female
Posted By News On @ 5:18 pm In Today's Local News | Comments Disabled
As previously reported by KCII, on March 17th the Henry County Sheriff's Office received reports of possible human remains found on Old Highway 34. The remains were found by two children riding bicycles in the area. The remains were sent to the State Medical Examiner's Office where they were examined by a forensic anthropologist. The remains have now been identified as female. The examination determined the female in question was between 24 and 32 years of age, and between 5 feet 3 inches and 5 feet 7 inches tall. KCII will continue to follow this story as the remains go to the Department of Criminal Investigation's crime lab for DNA Testing

but even with a white bucket out there to mark it she still runs that line?
but even with a white bucket out there to mark it she still runs that line?
I just read it as a little bit of drift. Nothing to be concerned about. Add in the other two pattern blinds.
I'd be more concerned right now by the fact that she doesn't know sit. I'd work on sit until told to go.

You really gotta be careful about how high a pedestal you put your method, your accomplishments, your dog on. There's usually someone who's done more, somewhere. And they may have used a different method than you did! Chris Atkinson 2013

Is there something prickly in that patch? It may not take much to make her paws sore since she is running over it again and again. The salt grass in these parts is hard on dog paws, they prefer to avoid it.

nothing prickly i dont think just soft grass, and i know the inching forward is a problem to correct, but not what i am focused on i can correct that with a stick correction
I wouldn't give it a second thought. Dog has not been taught to fight factors. Pattern blinds are about going, not going laser straight(at least thats been my approach)
I would teach 2 more legs. I wouldn't nit pick on pattern blinds. I wouldn't plan to need a whistle or cast until diversions are added.
Just my opinion. I could be wrong.
will deff fix the creep, just worried and concentrated on the line for now anyways.
If she has run the same line over and over she is in her mind going straight to the pile. This is the line she knows and will continue to use . Dont worry about it. Later when she gets better at handling you can come back to this blind and straighten it out by handling.

Pattern blinds aren't lining drills. You're off to a good start, even though I think your distance is too great for a first pattern blind. But that's just me. I gradually work them up to about 150 yards, and accomplish the scope and purpose of PB's, and move on - transitioning to cold blinds.

Post Graduate Certificate in Diabetes Education
About us
Founded in 1958, Project HOPE (Health Opportunities for People Everywhere) is a non profit organisation registered in the United States dedicated to providing lasting solutions to global health problems with the mission of helping people to help themselves. Identifiable to many by the SS HOPE, the world's first peacetime hospital ship, Project HOPE now provides medical training, health education and humanitarian assistance programs in more than 35 countries.
Project HOPE has been working in India since 2007 conducting the first large-scale initiative to train and educate health care professionals in India about diabetes. The India Diabetes Educator Project (IDEP), which has received recognition from International Diabetes Federation (IDF) successfully, trained more than 3,000 allied health professionals to be diabetes educators over a period of four years.
IDEP combined the world class training expertise of IDF with Project HOPE's implementation and program management capacity. The mainstay of the project was the Post Graduate certificate in Diabetes Education and management, a six-month learning program including distance education and on site interactive workshops. The project focused on mentoring support for trained health care professionals (nurses and nutritionists) and also addressed their role in empowering their clients with diabetes to take responsibility for daily self care and to help prevent the onset of diabetes amongst those at risk.
Course description
Program Duration: 2007-2011
Goal: Decrease morbidity and mortality related to diabetes in the Indian population by creating an enabling environment for diabetes education in the country
- To improve outcomes for people with diabetes
- To develop a cadre of Diabetes Educators in India, creating a favorable environment to increase their acceptance in patient care
Course outline
The curriculum comprises of learning objectives with comprehensive learning materials, self-assessment exercises, background reading materials, list of supplementary reading, assignments and workshop preparation activities. Mentorship and evaluation by experienced facilitators and also had written assignments, case studies, role playing, presentations and a final MCQ based examination.

- MSW (with 2years experience in a healthy setting in diabetes, counselling or education, direct patient care).
- Bachelor in Physiotherapy (with 2years experience in a healthy setting in diabetes, counselling or education, direct patient care).
Additional Activities
Ten Partner Centers in diabetes care and management throughout India implemented the program. Each center has initiated or completed approximately 15 to 16 batches with 25 to 30 students per batch. Furthermore, training activities centres also conducted the following performance in the community:
- CME – 1 CME course each year was conducted in diabetes care and management to update the GP's, ophthalmologists, podiatrists, neurologists, etc.
- Educational and Promotional Booths - Each centre organized educational and Promotional booths in public places, villages, feeding nursing homes etc to educate the community/people with diabetes on management of diabetes, diagnosis, SMBG, insulin, hypoglycemia, etc.

- cohort 1 of MT training was undertaken in 2 phases – September, 2007 and January, 2008.
- cohort 2 in July 2009.
IDEP was a timely effort in India to train diabetes educators in the country. The overall goal of the project was an effort to reduce mortality and morbidity associated with diabetes and its complications. Project HOPE successfully trained 3,291 allied health professionals as certified diabetes educators in collaboration with leading endocrinologists and diabetes care centres in India. The results from operational research clearly indicates improvement in A1c, blood glucose levels, Lipid profile and psychological status of people with diabetes.
Over all, this initiative proved to be an effective model for delivering quality patient education on diabetes self management through diabetes educators. It wassuccessful and is of key importance in this era of the NCD epidemic. Diabetes educators can complement positive patient outcomes and build patient self esteem, thereby promoting well -being.
The model has to expand to a wider area and adapt new strategies to reach the lower socio economic groups. While considering the challenges in this area, Project HOPE is proud to have initiated this program on a national scale in India – the first of its kind and magnitude.

The sketch can do anything else, but shouldn't do anything to pins 0 to 7.Put a voltmeter between pin 6 and ground to cofirm whether it's at 5 volts.Post a reply on this thread.Thanks,Paul Badger

The boys absolutely love them. I'm glad that at ages 9 and 10 they don't think they're too old for costumes.
I made the very simple hats out of felt using a video tutorial put together by a school teacher. In other words, it'd be easy to whip up twenty of these.
The capes (Ottobre 4-2004-30) are made of soft brown upholstery fabric with metallic gold woven throughout.
The reverse side is black crepe backed satin. I used 1 yard each for the lining and the shell and about 4 yards (!) of bias tape for each cape.
The vests are my favorite. The pattern is for outdoor vests from Ottobre 1-2004-25 (I plan to make the outdoor vests, too, in the near future) but I eliminated all the details and added eyelets and lacing. I experimented with a cut-on dagging decoration for the brown vest (will post a tutorial on that later).
The pants are a basic elastic waist pattern (Ottobre 1-2009-21).
The tunics are from Burda 7-2009-138 and are actually a variation of the djellabah (beach cover-up) pattern I used for Molly's Friar Tuck costume. I made the green one first and discovered the slit is extremely low and Peter insisted I stitch it up part-way (the pattern calls for a sort of fly, but I omitted it). I shortened the slit/placket for the brown version.

John Tavener
John Tavener is Britain's foremost classical composer, renowned for his both profoundly religious and inspirational secular works. Among the former is 1988's The Protecting Veil, the CD recording of which sold in quantities usually reserved for arena-filling popular music acts. Among the latter is 'Song For Athene', written after the tragic accidental death of a family friend and played at the funeral of Diana, Princess of Wales, in 1997. John Tavener was knighted by The Queen in 2000 for his services to music.
John Tavener was born in 1944 and was educated at Highgate School in North London and at the Royal Academy of Music. His first major composition, the iconoclastic and ground-breaking The Whale, was premiered at the Proms in 1969 and was recorded by Apple Records the following year. Both John Lennon and Ringo Starr took an interest in John Tavener's music, and Ringo appears as one of the 'speakers', shouting through a megaphone, on The Whale. Apple released the extraordinary Celtic Requiem, a piece for orchestra and children's choir, in 1971. Both recordings were performed by the London Sinfonietta, an orchestra dedicated to performing new, contemporary compositions, that was founded by John's school friend Nicholas Snowman.

Planning a Corporate Getaway that Won't Make Your Employees Run AwayStephanie Wonderlin on June 9, 2010 in Corporate Use | No Comments »
Most employees work over the traditional 40-hour workweek and a company retreat can be just the trick to bringing the energy back into the conference room. However, if you don't want your employees to go stir crazy halfway through the weekend, a few tips could help make a group outing both fun and functional. We took a look at The Lodge at Two Rivers, one of the luxury lodge rentals in Breckenridge Colorado, and how it offers everything needed for small group getaways.
- The retreat location should make your group feel like they are far from the hustle and bustle of work life. The location is also a part of the incentive for everyone to attend, especially since they will be away from their families for several days. The Lodge is nestled in the backcountry of Breckenridge, which is a popular location to visit any time of the year. However, be sure to decide on a retreat date early because The Lodge can book several months in advance.
- Decide your main objectives for the trip so you can designate specific times to training workshops and leaving the rest of the day for fun. The Lodge offers numerous activities for groups including 1/2 mile of frontage on the Blue and Swan Rivers which are available for fishing and easy access to nearby ski resorts, golf courses, horseback riding, hunting, mountain biking, hiking, swimming, sailing and wind surfing.
- Decide how large of a group will be going on the trip. Perfect for smaller groups, The Lodge can accommodate up to 24 guests.
- Arrange proper transportation to and from the retreat center so the trip doesn't start off on the wrong foot. A concierge service is available at The Lodge and includes shuttle service, chef service, grocery service, guided activities, spa treatments, and a Jeep rental.
- Make sure your housing has access to the outside world when necessary. The Lodge comes equipped with a computer, copier, scanner, fax machine, local and long distance phone access, and wireless internet access.

So I recently finished my demo reel for stuff that I've composed throughout 2012. I feel I've made a great deal of improvement over the years, but there's always room for more. Up until this point the only professional work I've done is selling stock audio to various companies. I've never actually created an original soundtrack for a paying client, but lately I've been pushing the envelope and trying to gain my first client. So far there has been no interest. The whole thing is a bit on the scary side, and it leads me to wonder if I'm ready for such a big step. The last thing I would ever want is to take on a job then fail to deliver something satisfactory. What do you guys think of my work? How did you guys know when you were ready for a step like this? What sort of things have you done to get your work out to potential clients?
Here's the demo reel:


text:
if you were brought to a strange country, and placed on a rural plantation and given a home to live, clothes, and 3 meals a day (which, really was better than what they came from. Not justifying slavery, just putting the situation in perspective),
ON top of having to cross other plantations where you could be captured and brought back.
Some seem to possess an odd servant attitude and fear of white men. This isn't nationwide but more of the deep South region..especially in the MS delta.
there is no butthurt. anyone who won't go to a plantation because they "feel weird" is a blathering moron. that's all.
Destrehan plantation is the best house I've ever visited. It has the coolest history out of all the Louisiana plantation houses.
if you were brought to a strange country, and placed on a rural plantation and given a home to live, clothes, and 3 meals a day (which, really was better than what they came from.
I'll walk in a gas station full of black people, and while they'll confront each other with typical ghetto slang and what not, to me they'll look at the ground, and I'll get a "how you doing, sir" or something like that. Baffles my mind
f a white guy screws up and you jump on his ass, he'll stand up and argue back if he thinks he is right, or explain why something went wrong. When you do the same to a black employee, they hang their head and just say "yes sir" no matter what and walk off.
I think it's wonderful that this hagiography of your slave-holding GGGrandpappy has been passed down to you in order for you to continue the delusion.
Fact is...they got the ball rolling.
I expect that there was less carnage in the black youth community back in slave days than it is now.
Mr. Steele Burden put a ten foot bronze of a bowing negro slave on the grounds of the BR Rural Life Museum; and the PC yahoo's threw a hissy fit. Mr. Steele told me the story behind the negro slave.
His owner was so IMPRESSED by the slave's CHARACTER...that he sent to Italy for a sculptor to immortalize the lowly slave. Artist did a hell of a job; I near tear up every time I pass that statue.
Point being... don't let your mind run away will all the hype...the owner virtually worshiped the slave (his character). I would have loved to have met the man myself; damn sure could use some pushing humility over ego and status right now.
The only thing that made the American slavery so damn "horrific"
Delta you sound like a good man to work for
I have a family genealogy book of all my descendants all the way back to Scotland in the 1600s, with copies of original documents stating as such. I have the copy of his will actually, and where it states he released his slaves.
quote:Death row inmates confess to crimes. That's far less of a sacrifice than giving up "property" when one dies.
the copy of his will actually, and where it states he released his slaves.
Since you brought up fear of black males, they do murder more people per capita than anyone else, right???
Since you brought up fear of black males, they do murder more people per capita than anyone else, right???
You have no idea if it was better or not.
Gee, do you think that might be because the Jim Crow South heaped violence and exclusion on them for a HUNDRED YEARS after the Civil War?
Then explain why some in their 20s, who never experienced that, act the same way? I'm not saying they are inferior or that it is their genetics, cause I don't believe that, but I'm saying it seems that some seem to think themselves that they are, or that if they try to stand up equal to the white man then they will be beaten down. Which isn't true at all these days

A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night (Lily Amirpour | 107 min.)
For centuries, vampires have provided handy metaphors for social and physical dilemma, but in the stylishly muted deadpan romance A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night, the threat is personal. Writer-director Ana Lily Amirpour's stunning debut, follows the experiences of a small Iranian town haunted by a vampiric presence who's just as lonely as the other locals. Shot in gorgeously expressionistic black-and-white and fusing multiple genres into a thoroughly original whole, Amirpour has crafted a beguiling, cryptic and often surprisingly funny look at personal and cultural desires that creeps up on you with the nimble powers of its supernatural focus. The director combines elements of film noir and the restraint of Iranian New Wave cinema with the subdued depictions of a bored youth culture found in early Jim Jarmusch…the comparisons go on and on, but the result is wholly original.
Set in the fictional Iranian ghost town tellingly labeled Bad City — but actually shot in California —A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night initially focuses on the downtrodden plight of Arash (Arash Marandi), a hip young man who wanders the empty streets accompanied by his husky cat. Coping with the destructive junkie habits of his bumbling father (Marshall Manesh) and staving off the oppression of local crime lord Saeed (Dominic Rains), Arash struggles to take control of his life.
Meanwhile, Amirpour fleshes out the somber life of a mysterious vampire woman haunting the streets, a doe-faced goth whose style is both traditional and sneakily hip. Though her origins remain obscured, as she trails various locals late at night, she quickly turns into the face of repression burdening all of them. But once she forms a curiously moving romance with Arash, A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night truly moves beyond its elegant form and develops an emotional core. Arash pops in a cassette tape or cues up a record, while classic blues and contemporary indie rock infuse their quiet exchanges with poignancy. As lyrics and melodies inform their otherwise gloomy exchanges the film is practically a musical, run through the filter of a European arthouse aesthetic.
-Eric Kohn
Starring Sheila Vand, Arash Marandi, Mozhan Marnó, Dominic Rains, Rome Shadanloo, Milad Eghbali and Marshall Manesh.
Emily Reo
"Emily Reo is a nomadic musician, visual artist and community enthusiast, whose work is inspired by the connection of nature and futurism. She creates compositions or 'synthonies' through melodic layers mirroring the curvature of mountains and waves, eerie alien-like robotic vocals and retro drum machines that drone like a heartbeat. Her music is both intimate and distant, inviting you to explore her unique world while she remains the not-quite-human tour guide. She is currently on tour from Los Angeles to New York, and in the process of completing a 7″ and working on her second full-length LP following the release of last year's 'Olive Juice'."

He must have very incriminating photos of the Miami Herald owner. I just don't how he is a writer at all.
It's even worse what he is implying and not having the guts to say we aren't set. I'd disagree with him but he'd get more respect.
As soon as I made a comment in the other thread about him being more intelligent lately I see this article posted.
Armando and Omar, king and queen of the a$$ clown prom.
I dont see what the problem is with the artcicle. Ireland we all know is suspect, philben has been a head coach for one year and Tannehill has had a solid rookie campaign. If after year one with Sparano anybody suggested he was not right for our coaching job people would have scoffed too. I personally am not gonna say Im 100 percent sure whether philben is our coach for more than a short stay or that Tannehill will be our franchise qb. I definately hope so, Ireland I could cares less if he jumped into a volcano with gasoline on
Well he only got 33% of that right, we have huge question marks at GM.
Most nfl new hires dont make it and early success can easily turn to oh crap. Saban 9-7 year one , Sparano 11-5, Wannstadt 11-5.
well maybe philben is the guy prob 7-9 lol
I swear, some of you think every coach who's walked the sidelines is gonna be the next Shula and every player to don the aqua and orange is a future hall of famer and if someone tries to put out that fire or offer a differing opinion then they are name called. Newsflash, all of his points are valid. Who knows how Philbin and Tannehill will progress, if they do at all.
How can you blame the guy, these writers just want to continue stirring the pot until it finally tips over on them. This could be the biggest offseason since shula was hired and the dick bag wants to throw a giant blanket over everyones optimism. Yes ireland isnt the best GM in the league, i do think he should be fired but this is it, if he fails with this amount of money and opportunity he will be a goner next year. He will also screw the franchise for another few years as well but if he hits a home run we could be looking at a decade of dominance if RT is the real deal.

?by Nate Traylor As of this month, defibrillators are required at all public pools in Maryland and, if Debbie Neagle-Freed has her way, the law will become a federal mandate.
Earlier this year, the governor signed Connor's Law, named after Neagle-Freed's 5-year-old son who drowned at a country club swimming pool. Pool operators statewide had until October to comply; however, local versions of the law already have been in place. Those requirements take a more far-reaching stance, with several counties even requiring automatic external defibrillators in semiprivate pools.
The state law could someday be toughened as well. "They just wanted to get the municipals on the books first, then go for the semiprivate [pools] down the road," said paramedic Jeremy Gruber, who testified before the legislature in favor of House Bill 364.
In 2006, Connor Freed was found floating in 5 feet of water beneath an empty lifeguard's chair. Lifeguards purged his system of water, but he was in a state of cardiac arrest. Though an AED was available, lifeguards told a 911 operator they weren't allowed to use it because they weren't trained. (Neagle-Freed and her husband, Thomas Freed, won a $4 million lawsuit against the company that provided the lifeguards, though it was reduced to approximately $1 million due to a state mandate that puts a cap on noneconomic damages.)
American Red Cross has since required that lifeguards be trained to operate defibrillators. But few aquatics facilities were equipped with the devices. "The reason for that was a lot of people thought you couldn't use them on a drowning victim," Neagle-Freed said. The common misconception was that the device, which sends an electrical shock to the heart, could do further harm to a soaking wet victim.
After consulting cardiologists and expert witnesses, Neagle-Freed became convinced an AED could have saved her son's life. In 2007, she launched the nonprofit Connor Cares Foundation, which donates defibrillators to aquatics facilities. She also began to work with public officials to add more layers of protection at pools across the state.
In 2010, she helped a member of the Maryland House of Delegates introduce a bill that would have effectively doubled the lifeguard-to-swimmer ratio. While it failed to get support, the AED mandate caught on at the local level.
Neagle-Freed is already seeing her efforts save lives. An 8-year-old boy who was found unconscious in the bottom of a pool was rescued with a defibrillator her foundation donated just weeks prior to the incident.
"Nobody wants to lose their child, of course. That's the worst thing to happen," said Neagle-Freed who owns a salon also named after Connor. "But you can turn something negative into awareness. To know lives are being saved makes you feel good."
Maryland was only the starting block. Neagle-Freed is reaching out to Congress while inspiring similar efforts in other states. "It took about five years to pass the state law," she said. "It might take another five to pass a federal law."
Delegate Tom Hucker (D-Dist. 20), who sponsored the bill, believes few would oppose an amendment to make it more inclusive. "My anecdotal sense is that a lot of large complexes, and a lot of modern ones with new pools, may already have [AEDs] and wouldn't be impacted at all," he said. As an incentive, owners of commercial facilities could even get reductions in their liability insurance. The Maryland Insurance Administration testified that larger properties where there's a statistically higher chance of a drowning or heart attack could save thousands of dollars on insurance if they have AEDs on site, Hucker said.
Meanwhile, pool management firms have been helping clients meet current requirements. Most property owners are happy to comply, but some are hesitant. AEDs cost $1,200 to $2,000, must be registered with the state health department and can be subject to routine inspections. "If you were to have an accident and the pads were out of date, that's a potential liability," said Phillip Carter, regional director of Rockville, Md.-based Community Pool Service. The firm has been selling the devices and managing AED programs at pool facilities statewide.

Launched Software Executive in a Box ®, the industry's first Automated Corporate Communications Solution (tm). Independent laboratory tests have proven that it's capable of generating output that is every bit as significant-sounding yet every bit as meaningless as the descriptions of concepts and "initiatives" that make up the bulk of the press releases and morale-boosting this-is-what-we're-all-working-towards internal presentations and e-mail messages that actual software executives produce.
I added a bunch of new wisdom to the script that powers the wisdom mill.
I made some updates to the site I set up for my friend Roger Boylan's book Killoyle, An Irish Farce, including adding a new page with the links to a synopsis of his sequel to the book and full text of the prolog and first chapter.
Lennart Staflin announced the release of a new ALPHA version of Emacs/PSGML. Anybody can download it and try it out. From the announcement:
I have taken Dave Love's patches and merged with the changes I did between 1.2.4 and 1.2.5. I think Dave only tested with Emacs 21, and I haven't done extensive testing either. It would be nice if we could get this working on Emacs 19.23, 20.7, 21.x and on XEmacs ??.? before doing a public release.
I spent some worthwhile time test-driving Bob Stayton's XSLT-based system for implementing DocBook olinks, which are for creating hypertext links among sets of documents (instead of links within documents or links to external URLs). It works very well. He's put a olink kit together that makes it really, really easy to try out -- and written some very good initial documentation for it.
Cheers to dmerrill. I came across his announcement of the Linux Documentation Project's Lampadas Project.
Lampadas will provide a web interface for authors to easily write documentation and for LDP staff to easily manage the document collection. Lampadas will be a very powerful publication system, and more powerful than any currently available in the Free Software/Open Source world. It will offer features oriented toward authors as well as the reader, such as document annotation.
Development version at: http://www.lampadas.org
A really handy piece of it is a Perl module + script for converting plain text/WikiText to DocBook, called wt2db:
There's an LDP how-to about how to author in WikiText.
You can check out wt2db from the LDP cvs and run it locally.
1. Log into their anonymous cvs: cvs -d :pserver:email@example.com:/cvsroot login
2. Grab the wt2db module: cvs -d :pserver:email@example.com:/cvsroot\ co LDP/wt2db/
3. It also requires the HTML::Entities perl module, so do:
perl -MCPAN -e shell
4. At the cpan> prompt, type: install HTML::Entities
5. Once that's done, you should be able to run the Makefile in the wt2db distribution ./Makefile.PL
Opi recounts our epic first meeting. Cheers, Opi, for setting up the #docbook channel.
In his WikiHomepage on the DocBook Wiki, ndw tells how he first got involved with DocBook (in a reply to a question from connolly).
Good news: LotR has been committing a bunch of changes to his db2man code (for converting DocBook to 'roff man pages), including some patches from Tim Waugh (and with an assist from Jirka Kosek). Will be very nice to have a pure XSLT DocBook->man solution in the DocBook stylesheet distribution.
Added some things to the DocBook Wiki that ndw recently set up.
Made lots of updates recently to the Docs page for the DocBook Open Repository Project.

Anybody seen the show Osmosis Jones ?
I find it rather crazy but entertaining. The show is a mix of real life and animation. It is about this guy Frank and the city in his body which is exactly like the real life city. The police in the city is the white blood cell and the bad guys are naturally the virus and germs.
Chris Rock is the voice bhind the hero and Bill Murray is Frank. The plot is so so but it is entertaining and Funny live-action give it a humorous touch.
It's laugh all the way .....

St Jude Medical has cut approximately 300 jobs as part of its cost-cutting measures
Singapore: St Jude Medical, a global medical device company, will realign its product divisions into two new operating units as part of its latest cost-cutting measures. The press statement released by the company said it has also eliminated around 300 jobs following the realignment.

The company will also centralize several support functions, including information technology, human resources, legal, business development, and many marketing functions.
"The reorganization we have announced is part of a comprehensive plan to accelerate our growth," said Mr Daniel J Starks, chairman, president and chief executive officer of St Jude Medical. "We are focused on reducing costs, leveraging economies of scale, maintaining the highest level of quality, and funding our entire portfolio of new growth drivers."
The company's US and international divisions, which are focused on product commercialization, will continue serving customers based on existing call points and specialties.
Under the leadership of Mr Eric Fain, the IESD will comprised former Cardiac Rhythm Management Division and the former Neuromodulation Division. Under the leadership of Mr Frank Callaghan, the CATD will comprised former Atrial Fibrillation Division and the former Cardiovascular Division. Mr Fain and Mr Callaghan will report to Group President Mr Michael Rousseau.

Oh, I can't resist joining in on the fun. Diary entries from the commandline? Yum.
Worked on php_pam a bit last night. This is all dead code, really, on account of the fact that I designed it badly and it works with neither pam_unix nor most web proxies; but there's still a lot of demand for the thing, so I went ahead and updated it to work with PHP 4.0.6+. Probably do a release today, then maybe the emails will stop. :)
Still need to find time to sit down and redesign the whole thing. Trying to cram this stuff into the PHP process is rather counter-productive.

An ancient symbol of transition throughout Southeast Asia, the boat is particularly prominent in many Borneo cultures where it symbolises the journey the human soul takes, usually by river, to the realm of the dead. During funerary rites, boats in the form of sacred hornbills transport spirits to the land of the souls. The finials of this simple river craft display the bird's feathered tail, long beak and bulging casque. The crouching figure at the rear is the helmsman. The passenger may represent the departing soul.

|Halle Berry's custody battle with her ex-boyfriend, Gabriel Aubry, is getting ugly. On Wednesday, she claimed that their 2-year-old daughter, Nahla, "cries hysterically" when she sees her father. Then, a source revealed that Aubry has received verbally abusive emails and voicemails from Berry. From Tiger and Elin to Sandra Bullock and Jesse James, The Daily Beast surveys the nastiest celebrity breakups of all time.

|The marriage between Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton was so nice they tried it twice. Neither panned out, but the Hollywood beauty and revered actor made for quite the steamy duo in Cleopatra in 1963. All told, Taylor racked up eight marriages to seven men—including back-to-back affairs with Burton—but her fans fondly remembered their favorite duo as "Liz and Dick."

|The wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer was viewed by 750 million people, but their breakup was a drawn-out, far more public mess. The royal couple was living in separate quarters by the late 1980s, and by the time the media latched on to Charles' friendship with Camilla Parker Bowles, the scrutiny made their split, which became official in 1996, inevitable.

|Britney Spears and Kevin Federline's marriage was the quintessential example of a union of the lowest common denominator. When the chaotic singer filed for divorce in 2006, her former back-up dancer husband was floored and a distracting public battle was waged over the legal custody of their two children. Spears' parenting skills were highly scrutinized—remember the "no seatbelts" photos?—and K-Fed retains custody, with Spears receiving visitation rights.

|Christie Brinkley and her architect hubby Peter Cook had one of those New York soap-opera divorce trials. A few of the down-and-dirty details: Cook slept with his 18-year-old assistant, then gave her a $300,000 bribe to keep their affair quiet, and had a $3,000-a-month habit for swinger and porn sites. Their 12 years of marriage ended with the cover girl holding sole custody rights.

|After Tiger Wood's sex scandal that kept growing and growing, one thing came to a swift end: his marriage to Elin Nordegren. Rumor had it that Nordegren originally sought $750 million in her divorce from Tiger Woods, but in the end, she reportedly received $100 million. As part of their divorce settlement, Nordegren must remain silent about his numerous alleged affairs, since a friend told London's The Sun tabloid that Tiger's main fear was "her telling her story after he's rebuilt his reputation, sending him back to the gutter." Custody of the couple's 3-year-old daughter and 1-year-old son was also in dispute—Nordegren wanted to have the children spend part of the year in Sweden, and Woods wanted to make sure he had a say in how they're raised. Nordegren ended up with sole legal custody, and the pair will share physical custody.

|Through most of his nearly 30-year marriage to Robyn Gibson, Mel called his wife a "saint" for sticking by him through his rehab stints over the years—and he credited her with bringing him back from the brink. They separated in 2006, just one month after his DUI arrest, but Robyn did not file for divorce until 2009—around the time that Mel announced that he and his then-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva were expecting a baby. Despite Robyn's public comments supporting Mel, the divorce quickly became one of Hollywood's most expensive. The two have yet to come to a final divorce agreement.

|It seems so long ago, but it was only early 2010 that Sandra Bullock and Jesse James were happily married. One week after her Best Actress Oscar win, Bullock found herself locked in one of the fastest marriage spirals: numerous women came forward and alleged affairs with James. Within days, Bullock canceled her press appearances as more and more stories came forward—and eventually a photo leaked out of James conducting a Nazi salute. The following divorce came swiftly, and although Bullock maintained a quiet public image—even adopting her son Louis, in secret—James went on Nightline and referred to himself as "the most hated man in the world." Their divorce was finalized only three months after his affairs became public and paved the road for her to become a single mother for Louis—with no parental rights for James. A final insult to Bullock: in January, James announced he is marrying one of his many women: tattoo artist Kat Von D.

|Though several marriages of the Real Housewives franchise end in divorce, the messiest this year was that between Kelsey Grammer and his wife, Camille, which played out over several painful episodes of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. As depicted on the show, the rift began when Grammer left Camille and their two children at home in Malibu while he went to New York to appear on Broadway in La Cage aux Folles. There, he met a 29-year-old flight attendant named Kayte Walsh, and promptly called things off with Camille. "I offered to go to therapy…. But his mind was already made up," Camille said of their breakup. "I started crying and he said, 'Oh, grow up.' I said, 'What about our children?' and he said, 'They'll get over it.' It was harsh." Camille filed for divorce in July, claiming that during their marriage the couple amassed a fortune of $100 million. They are currently at war over the divorce settlement, as Camille has reportedly turned down $40 million and wants $50 million instead. Meanwhile, Kelsey and Kate are rushing to the altar—and will reportedly tie the knot in a lavish $100,000 ceremony at the Plaza hotel on February 25.

|At first, the breakup seemed amicable. In 2010, Halle Berry said of her split from model Gabriel Aubry: "We're still friends, we love each other very much." But recently, things have turned ugly, as the couple engages in a vicious custody battle over their 2-year-old daughter, Nahla. Though they were never married, Aubry filed a paternity petition in December 2010. He alleged that Berry would leave Nahla unattended while she was on set. And Berry has come out swinging: her rep recently told Us Weekly, "Halle has serious concerns for her daughter's well-being while in the care of her father for any extended period of time and is prepared to take all necessary steps to protect her." Aubry hasn't made a comment about the custody battle, but on Wednesday, RadarOnline reported that Aubry has abusive voicemails, text messages and emails from Berry. Said a source: "She left a crazy message on Gabe's cell just after some pictures came out of him at a Lakers game with a girl last year... She is mega, mega p***ed in the message, calling him, and the girl, all kinds of names—it's certainly something Halle wouldn't want heard." Meanwhile, Berry reportedly claims that her daughter, Nahla "cries hysterically" when she has to see her father, and that Aubry put Nahla "in immediate harm's way" last summer.
