On July 31, voters in Decatur and Avondale Estates, as well as the rest of the 10-county metro region, will cast their ballots on the Transportation Investment Act to decide whether to establish a one-cent special transportation sales tax on themselves to fund various transportation projects.
The phrasing of the ballot question's preamble has been criticized for being biased.
It reads: "Provides for local transportation projects to create jobs and reduce traffic congestion with citizen oversight"
Attorney Pitts Carr told WSB-TV, "Create jobs? Stop congestion? Who wouldn't vote for that?"
The attorney has been hired by referendum opponents to find out how that language, which was OK'd by Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp, was approved for the ballot when it was not part of the original law.
What do you think? Is the TSPLOST ballot preamble biased? Tell us in the comments below.
It is now less than four weeks until metro Atlanta residents head to the polls to vote on a referendum that will fund more than $6 billion in transportation improvements through a regional sales tax.
And by the results of a recent poll, the proposed tax is losing steam as the referendum voting date approaches.
A poll by Rosetta Stone Communications for WSB-TV last week showed that only 38 percent of voters surveyed in the 10-county metro region are in favor of the sales tax.
That is down four percentage points from a late May polling. That month, 45 percent of those surveyed were opposed the new sales tax and last week's numbers indicated that now 49 percent are against it.
The most recent survey showed that Fulton and DeKalb voters combine for 50 percent 'for' and 32 percent 'against' the tax. But the other eight counties - Cobb, Cherokee, Clayton, Douglas, Fayette, Gwinnett, Henry and Rockdale – are against it.
How will you vote?

Transgender student denied request to live on campus with friends
Photo by Benjamin Lachman For traditional students at George Fox University, living on campus with friends and classmates is a right of passage. This right of passage is looking like it will no longer be a reality for transgender student Jayce M. Over the last few months, university officials have been in conversation with Jayce to provide support while he has transition from his birth gender as a female to becoming physically, socially, and legally male. "While the university did not grant his request to live on campus with males, the student was not denied on-campus housing," a press release from the university said. "He was offered the option of an on-campus single apartment with a commitment from Student Life to ensuring he stayed socially connected to the community." On April 4, Attorney Paul Southwick filled a Title IX sex discrimination case with the U.S. Department of Education regarding the university's recent decision. "Title IX does not have a religious exemption for housing discrimination," Southwick said in an email. "It has a religious exemption for admissions, but that is not implicated here. The Oregon Equality Act also protects Jayce from discrimination in housing and public accommodations on the basis of his gender identity." Southwick wrote that filing the complaint was necessary after they had reportedly exhausted all avenues of trying to come to a solution with the university. The university has taken time to research Southwick's legal claims. The university said that such claims are without merit, given that the university is religiously based. "The university has made many efforts to provide support and accommodation for the student and remains committed to his academic, physical and spiritual welfare," said the statement released by university officials. George Fox is not alone in having to come to this decision. Both secular and non-religious schools are struggling in how to reasonably support transgender students. "These commitments don't always lead to easy answers in an increasingly complex world," the press release said. "But George Fox is very conscious of the need to approach difficult questions with grace, understanding and an abiding love for our students, faculty and staff. This is why we are disappointed in how the situation has escalated." Jayce spoke out through his lawyer on his feelings about the denial to live with his male friends on campus. "The university's decision makes me feel rejected, misunderstood and punished for something I cannot change," Southwick wrote in an email on behalf of Jayce. "It also makes me anxious and nervous about where I'll be able to live next year, and the year after that, especially if their housing policy based on 'biological birth sex' goes into effect.'"

Enjoyed a bottle obtained from Co-op liquor store in Crowfoot, Calgary. Pours a light amber yellow like apple juice, with a ton of white foam that starts big but settles out fairly quickly. Muted color almost reminds me of another style, like a pale ale or even a lager. Aroma pretty assertive, lots of orange and grapefruit citrus, fresh resin, a little pale sweet malt but the fresh hops lead the way. Palate is marijuana resin, wood, pine sap, a big green chlorophyll brightness like fresh grass ... This is a leafy hops forward beer and the citrus is quite subdued for a west coast IPA, more lime and lemon pith than fleshy fruit flavors. Minimal tropical taste. You have to search for the caramel malt to find it. I get some sulfurous green onion flavor that is associated with hop varieties like Summit (not sure if that is in here), a flavor I find interesting in very small amounts ... Here this element is too aggressive. The finish reveals some interesting herbal flavors reminiscent of anise seed or licorice, a wormwood-esque medicinal flavor that goes well with the herbal emphasis here as opposed to the big fruity flavors you often get with this style. Reminds me of Hop Circle with some extra green layers. Not a fan of huge carbonation levels in ales but would have appreciated a few more bubbles here. I really like Phillips (count the reviews if you don't believe me), usually they strike a great hops-malt balance and are masters at capturing some unique hop flavors. This one stands tall with the rest of the troops but is not at the vanguard.

650ml bottle.
Appearance - Pours a pale amber with two fingers of frothy white head. Leaves lovely lacing on the glass.
Smell - Piney hops, citrus, tropical fruits, caramel.
Taste - Good hit of fresh piney hops and citrus hops, caramel malts, and tropical fruits. Moderate bitterness level.
Mouthfeel - Medium bodied with moderate carbonation.
Overall - A nicely fresh hopped American IPA. Excellent citrus notes to cut through and complement the bitterness.

Poured from 650ml bottle. Pours a bright yellow colour with hints of orange. Nose is filled with notes of freshly cut grass, cannabis and resin. Taste is similarly exotic, herb-filled and fresh. Not too grassy. Nice tangy citrus notes and plenty of hop spice. A much better version than 2012.

Steady pocked sepia head that trails over bronze body with some hop floaties.
Intoxicating orange segment, hop resin and bark nose.
Madeleine up front with Citra-ish grapefruit rind hops with some skunk and lychee.
Pithy finish and powdery bitter linger.
Oily, light to medium, slight chew.
Lean, direct IPA with some popping hops, especially on the nose. But I don't know that I get much fresh hoppiness off of it - not so different from Hop Circle, really. It's well done, but I've seen this done before.

Another gem courtesy of joemcgrath27...
A - Pours a slightly hazy golden colour, finger of head with solid retention and nice sporadic lacing.
N - Nose is sweet citrus, floral hop notes, hints of cotton candy and earthy pine and a touch of fresh cut grass on the finish.
T - Solid citrus hop profile, the cotton candy and hints of pineapple come through on the finish. The bitterness is surprisingly mild, especially given the hop profile. An insanely sessionable IPA, nice sweet and fruity hop flavour that goes down like water.
M - Medium bodied, smooth and a touch of dryness on the finish.
O - Super stoked to have had the opportunity to try this brew, loads of flavour whose low bitterness makes it incredibly drinkable. An absolute pleasure to enjoy and well worth seeking out.

650ml bottle poured into tulip 7/11/12 from notes
A clear pale copper with a tight 3 finger cream colored foam that retains well ending up as a soapy island leaving several rings of lace followed by patches and there's still foam at the bottom of my empty glass
S lemon and lime rind, faint pine, hard citrus candy, Phillips souse yeast, slight veggie notes, some floral hops with just a little toffee and mandarin orange
T much like the nose, strong rind and a slight herbal aspect with a earthy woody thing going on that's stronger towards the end
M has a nice bite and a little gritty after the fact, slightly creamy from the bubbles with a long finish
O pretty solid stuff but not the best fresh hopped brew from BC, no booze at any point and for 6$ a bomber I'll drink another
I tend to like Phillips IPA's but have yet to be blown away by one of them, I suppose "Good" is still pretty good

A - clear bright golden, tall head retained well enough, few strands of whispy lacing left on the sides
S - grapefruit rind, orange juice, mild earthiness, and a mild grainy malt
T - grapefruit and peppery hops start the show, followed by gentle earthy woody flavour, finishing with dry grainy malt background
M - light with refreshing carbonation, medium bitter with a dryness the builds substantially towards the finish
O - this is a very drinkable IPA that definitely has a noticeable fresh hop flavour mix, definitely hop skewed but I tend to like my IPA's that way

Green Reaper pours a clear gold with a nice head that lingers. The aroma is floral, slightly citrusy and grassy hops. Delicious fresh citrusy, slightly perfume-like fruity hops come through in the flavor, with a hint of grassiness. Some malt sweetness pokes through, with a solid bitterness backing up the flavor. I was surprised and impressed, I didn't think of Willamette as a good IPA type hop, but this beer is really changing my mind!

Pours a light amber with ample pearly head with decent retention. Nose has fresh hop all over it, with that green hop smell. Just something about fresh hop that make them distinct over died. Hops are fruity, floral and green. Taste follows with big and bitter hop (fruity and floral, with green/grassy). Malt profile is sweet, but flat.
A good solid performance here but nothing outstanding and IMO it lacks depth. I had guessed at 2 hop varieties in 2 additions, but after visiting the site and watching this video it was actually only 1 hop variety in 2 additions.

4/5 rDev -1.7%
650mL format. 5C serving temp in a medium nose wine tasting glass (sorry it is my preferred glass for anything under 8% ABV and North American origin)
Lightly haze, pale gold pour with good white sea foam heads, dense and 6-7 cm condensing to about 4cm and fading to a thin and constant film with good lacing.
Smells of fresh, slightly sweet hops and light spice. Grapefruit and caramel notes.
Slightly sweet, but very chewy malt base; berry and not fully browned toffee. Moderately complex hop center and citrus hops notes on top. Good moderately refined carbonation gives a good creaminess and additional body. Hop oil and very, very light resin on the mid palate and savory grapefruit (salmon berry like the Evergreen? Maybe, but it is all I can taste now that I put that in my head, the carbonation gives a 'furry' texture and the hops adds a pine 'tree spit' forest berry quality. No I'm not high)
Wet, malty coating finish that is short and clean thereafter.
Frankly I was expecting more from this beer, considering the Pandemonium. While a nice, approachable wet hop beer, it lacks the depth in hops that the Sartori (driftwood) or Tim Warp (Townsite) offers. I must clarify that I cannot compare this to the Pandemonium directly as Phillips took a big look on that one financially. Drinkable, approachable and affordable; mildly complexity with fair balance that I would like to see more in NW style IPAs more often, mainly in the texture and milder juicy malts.

3.6/5 rDev -11.5%
Poured from a bomber into a pint glass. No obvious best before date on the bottle.
A - fairly traditional "beer" appearance: golden in color, clear, moderate fluffy head, light visible carbonation. The head is a bit fluffy and disappears within a minute leaving some tiny bubble lacing.
S - nice and strong pine resin and grassy hops resolving into some guava and tropical fruit . After a few minutes the nose has a very slightly soapy element (in a well rinsed glass!)
T - the taste disappoints very slightly in that it lacks a bit of intensity, but in compensation does have some solid bitterness. The hops has a combination of pine resin and slightly sweet orange. The malt doesn't really make and appearance but does back things up subtly. What's missing is an enduring bitter finish; just when the bitterness misses its peak it quickly resolves. There's a hint of the mandarin orange left behind, but little else.
M - fairly traditional medium body, light to medium carbonation. No alcohol warming. Decent mouthfeel, but as mentioned above, it lacks an enduring quality.
This is a good but not exceptional IPA. I've perhaps been spoiled by Phillips's DIPAs which are tremendous hop bombs (Pandamonium, Amnesiac) so I may have had overly high hopes for this beer. That said, it's still absolutely worth a try.

Another cool label. Good call on the Nazgûl, biboergosum.
Appearance. Pours a hazy yellow gold with just a little amber and a finger of thick, just off-white head.
Smell. Fruity fresh hops, some grainy malts and a little bit of onion. Yep, I smell it too daftcaskbc.
Taste. Nice, mildly bitter and fresh tasting hops. Some grainy light malts and again, just a little bit of onion. God damn it daftcaskbc, you just had to plant that seed before I even tried it!! lol
Mouthfeel. Medium body, maybe just a little below with medium carbonation.
Overall. A decent beer, but there really is a little bit of onion going on there.

Llanfrechfa critical care centre has already cost £8m
Updated 9:38am Monday 28th January 2013 in News By David Deans - Politics reporter
WORK on a much-delayed multi-million hospital has already cost the taxpayer millions, it has emerged.
The Aneurin Bevan Health Board says £8.5 million was spent on two studies to show the Specialist and Critical Care Centre in Llanfrechfa is needed.
Kirsty Williams, leader of the Welsh Liberal Democrats, called on the Welsh Government to make a decision on when work will start on the hospital.
According to the health board the original outline business case for the site, which was submitted to the Welsh Government for approval in March 2008, cost £3.7 million and suggested the project would cost £295 million.
In March 2011 and ahead of that year's election Edwina Hart, who was then health minister, promised that the hospital would be built.
But Cardiff officials asked the health board to prepare another business case and reduce the estimated costs for the hospital.
The second outline case, which estimated the hospital would cost £241 million, cost £4.8 million and was submitted to the Welsh Government in December 2012.
Ms Williams, whose party obtained the figures through the Freedom of Information Act, said: "Now the second outline business case is complete, it is time for the Welsh Labour Government to make a decision.
"If the minister once again claims the projected cost is too high, then it will mean that all this time the Welsh Labour Government have just been too weak to admit they never intended to build the care centre.
"Either the Welsh Labour Government agrees to start building this project, or they have disgracefully spent millions just to try and cover up their cynical pre-election announcement."
The SCCC was the flagship of the ambitious Clinical Futures project, launched ten years ago to modernise Gwent's hospital services.
But when the downturn began to hit, planning work on the SCCC was suspended in 2008.
It was resurrected in 2010 and outline planning approval for the site was approved by Torfaen last November.
A spokeswoman for the health board said Laing O'Rourke was appointed to do the work.
She said the firm's expertise was not available within the board, and added the Welsh Government had not indicated when it will make a decision.
A Welsh Government spokesman said: "The Outline Business Case was submitted to the Welsh Government on 17 December 2012. An initial review will be completed by the end of January and the issues arising will need to be considered by Aneurin Bevan Health Board. The Health Minister will ensure Assembly Members are kept informed of progress."

In addition to this, I would also be interested to know how much is being spent on the Royal Gwent to keep it 'ticking over' as the Welsh Government fumbles and stalls a decision. Why does it have to rely on a Lib Dem AM to raise this? Where are our Labour AMs on the matter?

We meet Leona, the loggerhead turtle stranded on Quilty beach in County Clare, and now adopted by Galway Atlantaquaria. We find out more about what is happening in Ireland to celebrate World Oceans Day this Sunday, and Katriona McFadden visits those involved in GMIT's Swift Nestbox Project...
Earlier this week, on Tuesday to be exact, our Herring Gull's nest on the roof of Stage 7 here in RTÉ, received the gift of life – two little chicks hatched out.
For the latest news, we are joined this afternoon by Niall Hatch, Development Officer with BirdWatch Ireland.
To watch the Herring Gulls, click here.
Right now, all over the world, in the most far-flung and remote places, there are teams of scientists trying to find new species. They want to catalogue and document them for future generations.
If you play the video above, you'll hear about team from the California Academy of Sciences talking about discovering 300 new species during a trip to the Philippines.
And imagine how exciting that must be, to be the first person to realise that an animal is brand-new to science?!
Dr Nicola Marples is Associate Professor and Head of Zoology in Trinity College Dublin, and she has just had her first 'new species find' – in Indonesia!! She joins us in studio today to tell us all about the Wakatobi Flowerpecker.

This Sunday is World Oceans Day and this year's theme is "Together we have the power to protect the ocean". Hundreds of events are being planned all around the country, all aimed at getting people involved in keeping our coast and beaches safe and well.
And at the Galway Atlantaquaria, there is going to be a very special guest of honour!
Leona the Loggerhead turtle will be making her first big public appearance since her rescue in November 2013. To tell us her story, we are joined from RTÉ Galway by Rita Gately, County Veterinary Officer with Galway County Council, and to tell us more about Loggerhead turtles, we are joined from the BBC Cambridge studios by Rowan Byrne, who is Senior Marine Environmental Scientist with Mott MacDonald.

Ronan is just back from Egypt, where he was able to film a stunning video of him swimming with Green Sea Turtles:
It is an experience that he describes as incredible. Turtles are notorious for keeping their distances, but this turtle came right up and had a chat with him. The people he was with called him the Turtle Whisperer! Rowan was also able to film the Green Sea Turtle feeding on sea grass:
To learn more about Rowan Byrne, visit his website: www.marinecreatures.com.
And we are also joined in studio today by Dr. Pauhla McGrane, who is National Coordinator, Strategic Marine Alliance for Research and Training, Galway-Mayo Institute of Technology.
She talks to us about a unique opportunity for marine-related post graduates to research Cold Water Carbonate Ecosystems in Irish waters on the RV Celtic Explorer, called the Atlantic Summer School.
She also chats about 'the real map of Ireland' (above). The Real Map of Ireland A3 poster can be ordered from the Marine Institute by e-mailing: firstname.lastname@example.com. The Real Map of Ireland is also available to download from the Marine Institute website: www.marine.ie/home/community/.
The 2014 Atlantic Summer School is essentially a floating university. It will provide a chance for Marine related Postgraduates from across the island of Ireland, and Germany, to gain the skills and experience required to design, plan and carry out a multidisciplinary research survey at sea while acting as chief scientist.
It consists of five days onboard the RV Celtic Explorer, during which students will operate equipment and instrumentation, take samples, process the samples, and process the data to build up a picture of the geological, biological and environmental regime.
The deadline for the Atlantic Summer School is today at 5pm, but the organisers have decided to extend it to next Wednesday, June 11th, to give any eligible listeners a chance to apply.
For more information about the Atlantic Summer School, visit www.smartseaschool.com/atlanticsummerschool or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.
Swifts are welcome summer visitors to Ireland, they usually start arriving in May - but, sadly, swift numbers seem to be down in recent times.
But we have a good news story from County Mayo! The GMIT college in Castlebar installed swift boxes three years ago and each year they've seen swifts return to the same nests.
They've also decided to share the experience with the world so they installed cameras and are streaming the nest activity on their website.
Swiftboxes at GMIT

Mooney reporter Katriona McFadden paid a visit to the campus this morning to see the swifts in action, and the first person she met was Lynda Huxley, Chair of the Green Campus Committee in GMIT Mayo...

Swift Workshops:
BirdWatch Ireland is coordinating a National Swift Survey to locate and record swift nesting colonies in villages, towns and cities across Ireland (swifts always nest in urban areas). To find out more, click here. They are also looking for volunteers to help them carry out a systematic Swift survey in 1km squares across Dublin city. As part of this, they will be hosting a number of workshops around the country for anyone interested in taking part in the Swift surveys. These are free of charge and open to everyone, will be very informal and will provide a great opportunity to learn more about Swifts.
The dates are:
Wednesday 11th June at 6:30pm in GMIT, Castlebar, Co. Mayo (very appropriate, given the location of Katriona's report)
Thursday 19th June at 6:30pm in the Celbridge Manor Hotel, Celbridge, Co. Kildare
Thursday 19th June at 6:30pm in the Cork Cricket Club, Mardyke, Cork

Can you believe it? It's time for Mooney Tunes again, and astonishingly, we are approaching our tenth concert! It all started in September 2009, at the National Concert Hall. The very first Mooney Tunes featured music such as Send In The Clowns, The Anvil Chorus and even the theme from Hawaii Five-O. Over the last nine concerts, there hasn't been any genre of music we haven't covered. We've done a lot of classical favourites, we've had arias and choruses from some of the greatest operas ever written.
Tickets to Mooney Tunes 10 range from €10 to €39.50, and can be booked in person at the Bord Gáis Energy Theatre in Dublin (no booking fee), or by calling Ticketmaster on 0818 719 377 (booking fee applies).

The date for the final will be announced shortly and the winner will perform at our Christmas Mooney Tunes concert.
Hedgerows and the Law
Hedgerows in Ireland form important features in maintaining wildlife diversity and in establishing wildlife "corridors", particularly for birds. The commonest nesting birds found in hedgerows such as wrens, dunnocks, robin and willow warblers depend entirely on insects during the Summer months. In general untrimmed, thorned hedgerows containing species such as blackthorn, whitethorn and holly are favoured by birds as they provide ample food and also serve as a protection against predators.
Section 40 of the Wildlife Act, 1976, as amended by Section 46 of the 2000 Act, provides protection for hedgerows by providing that it shall be an offence for a person to cut, grub, burn or otherwise destroy hedgerows on uncultivated land during the nesting season from 1 March to 31 August, subject to certain exceptions. It is important that, where possible, necessary work to hedgerows is carried out outside this period.
It is possible in most cases to schedule and carry out necessary work to hedgerows outside this period. The legislation makes provision for works (other than road or other construction works) to be carried out for reasons of public health and safety under the authority of any Minister or a body established by statute that lead to the destruction of vegetation. There is also a provision to enable the Minister for Environment, Heritage and Local Government to request from the relevant Minister or body details of any such works together with a statement of the public health and safety factors involved.
It shall not be an offence to destroy vegetation in the ordinary course of agriculture or forestry. Also it shall not be illegal to destroy vegetation while preparing or clearing a site for lawful building or construction works.
It is the policy of the Minister to prosecute for offences under section 40 of the Wildlife Acts 1976 and 2000 and successful prosecutions have been taken under this section in recent years. Members of the public are encouraged to contact their local wildlife ranger and report instances where hedgerows are being destroyed during the prohibited period.

HAYS, Kan. -- Paul Robinson recovered a fumble that set up a score and returned an interception 37 yards for another touchdown as No. 8 Pitt State pulled away in the third quarter for a 45-17 victory over Fort Hays State Saturday (Oct. 8) at Lewis Field Stadium.
The Gorillas (6-0, 5-0 MIAA) led just 17-10 at halftime against the upset-minded Tigers (2-4, 2-3 MIAA), but Pitt State scored three times in the decisive third quarter to pull away.
Robinson's fumble recovery set up Bristan Kelley's 4-yard touchdown pass from Zac Dickey to give Pitt State a 31-17 lead. A handful of plays later he jumped in front of an Anthony Sheppard pass and returned it 34 yards for a touchdown and a 38-17 advantage.
Briceton Wilson rushed 35 times for 189 yards and two touchdown to pace the Gorillas ground game, which chewed up a season-high 343 yards.
Dickey rushed 17 times for 90 yards and he completed 10 of 15 passes for 159 yards. He completed three passes for 76 yards to Andrew Castaneda and four more to John Thomas for 64 yards.
Nate Dreiling made a team-leading 11 tackles for the Pitt State defense, which limited FHSU to 172 total yards in the contest (76 rushing).
Approximately 1,000 fans viewed the game on the Jungletron at Carnie Smith Stadium.
The Gorillas return home to host MIAA rival Lincoln next Saturday (Oct. 15) for Homecoming. Kickoff is set for 2 p.m. (CDT).

That is actually a Prairie Rattle snake. Not that it matters much, It is still venomous. And mean! I use to have Diamondbacks and Prairie's and the Prairies were just nasty mean.
Thanks for the clarification Cory. How can you tell?
Mainly because Western Diamondbacks aren't indigenous to this area and the picture has the markings indicative of a Prairie which are common in our area; also gets called Western or Prairie Western (Crotalus viridis). The Western Diamondback (Crotalus atrox), you won't see those in CCC unless someone brings it there; and it probably won't make it for very long. The diamond markings are more defined, and, though Diamondbacks have a patternless species, you don't get those brilliant contrasting blotches of the Prairie. Both can have the ringed tail markings. Anyway, there's never a Felis catus around when you need one.

News: Kim Kardashian Tells All in Open Letter, "This Is Probably The Hardest Thing I've Ever Had To Write"
Wednesday, Nov 2, 2011 9:37AM
As hype continues to grow around the publicized divorce between reality star Kim Kardashian and NBA player Kris Humphries, the 31 year-old TV personality has now released an open letter.
Addressed as "A Message To My Fans," Kardashian details how hard the media has been on her.
"This is probably the hardest thing I've ever had to write. I see all of the support and I am so thankful for my fans, friends and family who are helping me through this difficult time. I am trying not to read all the different media reports but it's hard not to see all the negative ones. First and foremost, I married for love. I can't believe I even have to defend this. I would not have spent so much time on something just for a TV show! I share so much of my life on a reality show, that contemplating whether to even film my wedding was a tough decision to make, and maybe it turned out to not be the smartest decision. But it's who I am! We filmed Kourtney giving birth, Khloe getting married, break ups, make ups, our best moments and our worst moments. These were all real moments. That's what makes us who we are. We share, we give, we love and we are open!" (Kim Kardashian Blog)
Within the letter, she also admits rushing her desire to create a new family.
"Everyone that knows me knows that I'm a hopeless romantic! I love with all of my heart and soul. I want a family and babies and a real life so badly that maybe I rushed in to something too soon. ... I never had the intention of hurting anybody and I accept full responsibility for my actions and decisions, and for taking everyone on this journey with me. It just didn't turn out to be the fairy tale I had so badly hoped for. There are also reports that I made millions of dollars off of the wedding. These reports are simply not true and it makes me so sad to have to even clarify this. I'm so grateful to everyone who took the time to come to my wedding and I'll be donating the money for all the gifts to the Dream Foundation. I'm sorry if I have hurt anyone, but my dad always told me to follow my heart and I believe now that I really am." (Kim Kardashian Blog)
Details of the divorce became public knowledge Monday (October 31) afternoon.
Kim Kardashian filed for divorce Monday morning, after 72 days of not-so-wedded bliss to Kris Humphries ... TMZ has learned, and now we have the documents. We're told even though the marriage was short, she is not seeking an annulment. It's a garden variety divorce, in which Kim cites "irreconcilable differences." The date of separation is listed as today, Oct. 31, 2011. According to the docs, Kim wants Kris to foot his own lawyers' fees and she'll pay hers. And, she wants the court to reject any move by Kris to get spousal support. (TMZ)
Confirming the divorce, the 31-year-old E! reality star released a statement on her now-public situation.
"After careful consideration, I have decided to end my marriage. I hope everyone understands this was not an easy decision," she told MTV News in a statement. "I had hoped this marriage was forever but sometimes things don't work out as planned. We remain friends and wish each other the best." (Statement)
Kim Kardashian is widely known for dating R&B star Ray J and NFL star Reggie Bush a few years ago and being associated with Kanye West, 50 Cent and other hip-hop artists.

Keith Urban Checks Into Rehab
by POPSUGAR Celebrity 48 Reactions 0 Shares Print
Nicole Kidman's husband and country star, Keith Urban has just entered rehab. Nicole was apparently by his side when he went in. People reports:
"I deeply regret the hurt this has caused Nicole and the ones that love and support me," Urban says in the statement. "One can never let one's guard down on recovery and I'm afraid that I have. With the strength and unwavering support I am blessed to have from my wife, family and friends, I am determined and resolved to a positive outcome."
At least there was no Mel-gate fiasco. Let's hope Keith gets better soon.

Audrey I read that too, that if he does drugs he will get nothing out of the marriage finanically and she will divorce him...it was one of the terms and conditions of the contract...I mean marriage. Looks like this is a cry for help from Keith.

He went in to rehab for alcohol abuse. However, many people close to KU have gone on record over the last year saying he had giving up drinking completely. I think she caught him doing something else she didn't like and blackmailed him into going to rehab so she could file for divorce and not look like the bad guy. It's VERY fishy to me she goes to London to film, Rome for the film festival, then to Kosovo (all with out Keith) then a few days before she's supposed to meet Keith in Australia she shows up in TN to escort him to rehab? If he had enough planning for her to fly in to "be by his side" why didn't anyone notify the band? They showed up and started preparing for Friday's concert! Something isn't right.

Nicole is dumber than I thought. Hey, if the guy was addicted to coke before marriage, can you trust him 100% to be always sober in the future? Geez, I'd imagine that being as beautiful and powerful as she is, she'd have an easier time picking men that are not only handsome, rich, fun and faithful, but also clean.

I was talking about Rene and Kenny because someone mentioned them up above.
FB1977 7 years
I don't think she wants to leave him right now...I'd be surprised if she did. But, how many people think that will be the reason why they divorce, which you know they will one day. She'll prob be real supportive this first time around.
Padraigin 7 years
It may be a clause in the prenup, but it's there IF Nicole wants to leave the marriage. Doesn't look like she does at this point in time.

Audrey, you are correct: June 23, 2006 Page Six reports Nicole Kidman had Keith Urban sign a prenup earlier this month to make sure her $150 million is safe in case things go sour after their wedding tomorrow. The papers give Keith just over $600,000 a year for every year they're together and there's an additional clause that allows her to leave the marriage without giving anything to Keith - an ex-cocaine addict - if he uses illegal narcotics or drinks excessively.

Poor Nicole. Still, a drug addict who is actively seeking help is a world of improvement from a gay midget Scientologist.

KIRKLAND, Wash., June 25, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- EvergreenHealth is pleased to announce the medical center has had zero elective inductions for early term pregnancies – those between 37 and 39 weeks gestation – since the third quarter of 2013, according to data collected by the Washington State Hospital Association's Partnership for Patients initiative. This announcement comes on the heels of a new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) that reveals a national decline in induction rates for single births for the first time in 20 years.
"The health of newborns and moms is always our top priority, and part of that means we wait for birth to occur naturally when it is safe to do so," said EvergreenHealth CEO Bob Malte. "Our goal is for spontaneous labor at or after 39 weeks whenever medically possible, and we are very proud of our providers and staff for coming together and taking great strides to exceed national averages."
According to the CDC's report, the rate of induced labor for single births nationwide is declining for the first time in two decades. Across the U.S., rates decreased from 23.7 percent in 2011 to 23.3 percent in 2012 for both medically necessary and elective inductions, a trend encouraging to the CDC.
Risks of induced labor can include mandatory caesarian section and, in some cases, increased risk for neonatal infection and respiratory complications. The CDC advises against induced labor for babies before 39 weeks gestation unless medically necessary.
While some medical indicators mandate induced labor, particularly in high risk pregnancy, EvergreenHealth providers evaluate each opportunity for the safety and optimal health of the baby and mother, said Trish Anderson, RN, director of women and children's programs at EvergreenHealth.
According to Anderson, the induced labor rate is a point of pride for EvergreenHealth and an earned milestone. In 2010, EvergreenHealth reported an elective induction rate between 7 and 10 percent for the gestational period and underwent a thorough review of the health care system's processes to achieve healthy, full-term deliveries when medically possible.
"EvergreenHealth used a wealth of data and tapped into its leadership capabilities to produce remarkable results. The organization's transparency and willingness to evaluate its best practices mean more babies are getting the healthiest possible start in life," said Dr. Jeff Thompson, principal of health care consultancy Mercer. Prior to joining Mercer, Dr. Thompson served as chief medical officer for the Washington State Health Care Authority where he worked with the legislature and health care organizations to establish labor induction best practices.
Low early-term induction rates are just one of the ways EvergreenHealth Maternity Care provides high quality care for mothers and babies. The center has been recognized with a five-star rating for nine consecutive years from HealthGrades, the nation's leading provider of independent hospital rankings, and was the first in the U.S. designated as a Baby-Friendly hospital from UNICEF and World Health Organization.

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
There are four toprope routes on the very south end of Kindergarten rock. Each route has two anchors to set up the toprope. The routes all can be rigged by doing a short scramble from the southeast corner of Kindergarten rock which is just to right of the climbs if you are facing the rock(the way to the anchors is the last part of the downclimb from the routes that go to the top of Kindergarten rock like New Era for those familar with the area). Scramble up this ramp and traverse left onto the large level platform facing out over the south side of Kindergarten rock to find the obvious anchors. The climbs range in dificulty from 5.4 to 5.8 depending on the route you take. This is a classic place to take first time climbers and larger groups of people who are not experienced becasue of the range of difficulty, easy approach and the fact that there are multiple anchors. To get to the routes park in the South Garden parking lot and walk north on the main road over the hill to the large grey rock formation you see on the west side of the road. This is Kindergarten rock and the topropes are no more than 30 feet west of the road on the rock's south end.
The four toprope setups all have two anchors.

When Kanoute scored and Iraq exploded—a Spurs' supporter's prison diary
Listening to English football commentary for a few minutes, due to the limitations of the situation, was the icing on the cake—regardless of the fact it did not involve Tottenham. However, I was now able to listen to the football results and realised, at last, why the Swiss International Red Cross delegate could not, despite my persistent questions on their visits, tell me anything about Tottenham news even though he was more conversant on Manchester United. Tottenham were still not the team they once were under the late Bill Nicholson in the early '60s, and specific news was non-existent it seemed.
After repatriation to Iraq in 1990, I found bans imposed on satellite TV, with prison terms and hefty fines threatened. The Iraqi regime had imposed a penalty of $400, which was then the equivalent of an annual salary or even more for a mid-level government employee. In addition, there was a prison term of six months, and the satellite receiver and dish would be confiscated. But again, I paid no attention.
After 2003 I was at last able to watch all games without fear, or this was what I had thought. I will always remember a very memorable goal scored by Frederic Kanoute against Everton at the Lane. It could not have been more well-timed because, just as the ball crossed the line, there was a huge spontaneous explosion near my home which blew a thick wooden door at the front of my house right to the back of the property.
Today, I am a grandfather. One of my sons is a Tottenham fan and I am sure one of my grandsons will follow suit. To me Tottenham remind me of my youth, and I feel very much attached to the club. My deep memory takes me back to the time when White Hart Lane was a fortress no other team could conquer. Although I have never been to White Hart Lane, and attending a home game is still a far-fetched life's ambition, both my son and I buy T-shirts, caps, publications and other items for the kids annually. It is the least support we can provide for the club we are so much devoted to.

About the book series
The 'Til I Die series started in 2005–06 as a trial project at Brentford Football Club in West London, with the aim of encouraging Bees fans to write passionately about their experiences following the club, to share memories with fellow supporters and to celebrate local pride and family tradition.
Following production of several additional club-based books, in 2008 the National Literacy Trust secured funding through its Sport Stories campaign. Grants from the Football Foundation, Arts Council England, Professional Footballers' Association and the Department for Children, Schools and Families allowed publication of more collections. Now, 600 copies of each book on publication are given free to local schools. By the end of 2010, more than 30 club-specific titles will have been produced for teams of all shapes, sizes and regions.

Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun is in the lineup Tuesday night against the Cincinnati Reds, his first start in nearly a month after going on the disabled list with an injured right thumb.
Braun was activated Monday after going on the DL on June 10 and missing 21 games. He is hitting .304 with nine homers -- seven of which came in April -- and 36 RBIs.
Braun's name surfaced in documents linked to the Biogenesis clinic in Miami but he has denied using performance-enhancing drugs. Braun has said his name was in those documents only because his attorneys used clinic operator Tony Bosch as a consultant when Braun successfully appealed a 50-game suspension after testing positive for elevated testosterone levels in October 2011.
Braun was unavailable for comment before Tuesday night's game.
