An Amazing Girl Who Does Good
November 10, 2011 at 10:29 am , by Cassie Tucker
It's hard to preach positivity when you think about the state of our economy or the rising cost of gas (don't even get me started)! Yet here at LHJ, we like to spend our time commending people who make a positive impact on the world. I am inspired by fifteen year-old Hannah Taylor from Canada. At age 8, she started the Ladybug Foundation to help the homeless and "connect even more hearts in caring for each other." Today, Hannah's Ladybug Foundation supports over 50 shelters, missions, soup kitchens and food banks across Canada. The most remarkable aspect of Hannah is her humble nature. As she told me, she hopes "to be remembered as an ordinary human being who believes in the power of caring."
To learn more about this amazing girl—and maybe inspire your own kids to do good—grab your teenage daughters and sons and check out the documentary Hannah's Story, which airs this Sunday, November 14th at 10:00 p.m. EST on the Documentary Channel. [For more information or to request DOC in your area, you can visit documentarychannel.com]. It is impossible not to be inspired by Hannah. She's proof of how much impact one little girl can make when she has a big heart.

LHJ Presents Peace Unveiled and a Special Q&A With Producer Abigail Disney
September 27, 2011 at 2:18 pm , by Sonia Harmon
What if you looked at war as through the eyes of women? That's the question at the heart of the new five-part PBS series, Women, War & Peace, which focuses on the perspectives of women living in conflict zones around the world. "We have this image of a male hero striking out into war," says Abigail Disney, an executive producer. "And littering the sidelines, if they're visible at all, are these women who don't really matter. But there are no sidelines. Women very much do matter. We need to restore women to a story they've never been a part of."
The series begins airing Tuesday, October 11th. But this Thursday at 7:30 EST, LHJ will present an exclusive online sneak preview of Peace Unveiled, the third installment in the series, which follows three women in Afghanistan who are fighting for the right to be heard in their country's political arena. (To see the preview log on to livestream.com/independent lens.) Afterward, stick around for a live online panel discussion with Disney and director Gini Reticker, where you can talk with other viewers about the film and submit questions for the filmmakers.
In the meantime, check out our interview with Disney (yes, that same Disney—Walt Disney was her great-uncle) about the series and what you can do to help.
How difficult was this series to film?
There were incredible difficulties in getting footage and getting the women to feel safe enough to talk to us because they were being threatened every day. Some of them were getting death threats in text messages on their cell phones while we were interviewing them. So it was hard, but we had to find women who were willing to step up and take a chance being on camera. Read more

Do Good: Yellow Bird Project Charity T-Shirts
September 12, 2011 at 1:48 pm , by Gabrielle Porcaro
I like a good T-shirt almost as much as I like a good pair of heels. A T-shirt with a message, I like even better! I was recently introduced to the Yellow Bird Project. The website teams up bands to design shirts and donate the proceeds to charity. The bands involved are a pretty impressive list of indie rock groups like Wolfmother, The Shins and Bloc Party. The charities include St. Jude's, Greenpeace and Amnesty International, as well as other lesser known—but just as important—charities.
My favorite tee is designed by the Freelance Whales and supports MarbleRoad, a non-profit organization offering financial assistance and support services for people with complex and rare illnesses. I love the teal color, unique design and the cause happens to be near and dear to my heart. I love this idea—it's a cool, interesting approach to raising awareness (and money) for a charity. And these tees are a stylish update to those old high school or college T's you might be rocking way past their prime. Not your style? They also make great gifts (with a great message) for hard-to-shop-for, too-cool school kids.

LHJ / CMT Do Good Volunteer Day at Second Harvest
June 16, 2011 at 9:15 am , by Ron Kelly
For the second year in a row, Ladies' Home Journal kicked off CMA Music Festival week by hosting a volunteer afternoon at Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee. This year, though, the afternoon also served as a kickoff for our brand spankin' new partnership with CMT One Country. Click here to read about how our partnership's Do Good Rewards program can lead to you winning a trip to the CMT Music Awards in Nashville next year!)
We had some amazing musical talent lending us their muscles and elbow grease for the afternoon, including Steel Magnolia, Jimmy Wayne, Crystal Bowersox, Carter's Chord, Margaret Durante and Coldwater Jane. Along with reps from both LHJ and CMT, these artists donated some of the very little free time they had during their frenetic week to sweat alongside us prepping supplies for Feeding America's BackPack program, which was designed to meet the needs of hungry kids at times when other resources aren't available (such as weekends and school vacations). By the afternoon's end, our volunteers had prepped 2,107 bags of food for the program! At the CMT Awards the next night, other musical acts signed some symbolic bags to be auctioned off to raise more funds for the program, to which CMT makes a generous donation in lieu of those pricey artist gift bags other awards shows usually give out.
To keep the spirit of our volunteer afternoon alive, LHJ and CMT are now partnering up for a Do Good Summer Virtual Food Drive. If you're able, we'd love it if you could contribute to it, which will then in turn provide much needed food to programs such as the BackPack effort. Any amount is greatly appreciated. Of course, if you'd like to volunteer at a Feeding America food bank, that's another great way to do good and make a difference. As you can see from the slideshow below (with Carter's Chord's "Love a Little Bigger" as a musical background), our volunteer afternoon was a lot of hard work but also a lot of fun. Click here to find the nearest food bank in your area. Be sure to let us know how it goes!
For more pictures from our volunteer event, additional info on the BackPack program and stats from Second Harvest, read on after the jump.

Like This, Support The Special Olympics
June 14, 2011 at 10:13 am , by Amanda Wolfe
This sweet video (which, we'll admit, made us tear up a little), is a tribute to our Special Olympics athletes and the moms who help them get where they are. With team USA heading to Athens for the 2011 games next weekend, Proctor & Gamble is donating $250,000 to the Special Olympics, and giving all of us a chance to contribute too! For every like, share, or comment on Facebook.com/thankyoumom, P&G will donate a dollar (up to an additional $250,000) to the Special Olympics in celebration of the moms and families who support our athletes.

Do Good: Help Bees, Look Good!
May 16, 2011 at 1:24 pm , by Gabrielle Porcaro
I've never really been a big fan of bees. Between the time they stung me when I was 8 years old and killing Macaulay Culkin in My Girl, they haven't exactly been my favorite. But two of my favorite brands (the maker of, in my opinion, the best lip balm ever, Burt's Bees, and one of my favorite jewelry designers, Helen Ficalora) teamed up with the Pollinator Partnership to raise awareness about the increased threat to pollinators in our country. Bees and other pollinators (butterflies, moths, beetles, flies, birds and bats) play a crucial roll in our food system and help maintain our natural ecosystem. But pesticides, habitat loss and disease have put them on the endangered species list.
Burt's Bees has been working with the Pollinator Partnership for years but this year in honor of National Pollinator Week, Helen Ficalora joined the cause. This cute sterling silver beehive charm and chain costs $100 and comes with Burt's Bees tinted Lip Balm in Pink Blossom (which was our pick for best lip balm in our First Annual "This Stuff Works" Beauty Awards). 100 percent of the proceeds will go to providing a school with a Bee Smart School garden kit, which will help students learn how vital pollinators are and allow them to create bee-friendly gardens.
This is a win-win all around. A beautiful necklace, a fabulous lip balm and helping the bees. Because even though they sting and their buzzing can be annoying, life wouldn't be the same with out them!

How To Be a Savvy Auntie This Spring
April 26, 2011 at 12:14 pm , by Lauren Piro
We all remember what it was like as a kid to have a "cool aunt." She'd take us to movies and treat us to popcorn, bring a new book to read when she visited or create arts and crafts with us – even if they were a bit messy. Melanie Notkin, founder of SavvyAuntie.com and author of Savvy Auntie, just out from William Morrow, loves being that cool aunt (or "PANK" as she dubs herself and her peers—Professional Aunt, No Kids), and wants every woman with a niece, nephew, godchild or other special kid in their lives to be one too.
"What's so terrific about the aunt is that she's a grown-up in the child's life who is all about magical experiences," says Notkin. "PANKs have discretionary income and time to spend with kids and can take them on day trips, go to sporting events or see plays at times when maybe their parents can't—'qualAuntie' time, as I like to call it."
Notktin started Savvy Auntie in 2008 after her nephew was born, and she couldn't find any resources on how to be a modern aunt (she now has six nieces and nephews, and many more of her friends' children are also happy to call her "auntie"). Everything she read was too "auntique" (auntie lingo has become her thing, too). Plus, she wanted to be thrilled about her new important title, and not dejected that it wasn't her own newborn she was cooing over.
"I've learned that when I focus on all that I am, including a very loving aunt, it enables me to rewrite happiness for myself," she says. "When my nieces and nephews ask me how I started my own company or how I wrote a book, it feels extraordinary to be able to share my experience with them, and I realize the value I can add to their lives."
We asked her to spill her top five kid-friendly auntie activities for spring (or should we say "auntivities," Melanie?)
Plant a Flower Garden
"This is great for kids of all ages. When they see the seeds that they planted themselves bloom, they really feel like they've created something special."
Blow Bubbles
"It sounds pretty basic, but it's easy, inexpensive and a lot of fun. Little kids love chasing the bubbles, while older ones like to see how big they can make their bubbles."
Color with Sidewalk Chalk
"Another easy and cheap idea that's all about art and creation – even when the older kids like to take the hose and wash the art away!"
Read a Book
"I always bring a new book when I visit. We'll talk about the illustrations and learn new words. One of my new favorites is 13 Words by Lemony Snicket and illustrated by Maira Kalman."
Play Sports
"Whether we're playing hockey in the driveway or riding scooters and bikes, it keeps them moving, which is great."
Pick up the new Savvy Auntie book through Wednesday, April 27th and do good with Melanie. She'll donate $1 to the non-profit Epic Change, which uses social media to help worthy causes raise funds, for each copy sold. She likes to think of it as being a—wait for it—"benevolAunt."

James Rudolph is the pen name of Hollywood denizen, writer and actor James Mathers, who has written two new e-books, Cindy Eyes and Henry & Dad, that are available on Amazon.com for $6.99.
Mathers and his wife, Dallas, started "The Writer's Group" in l990. They invited friends, writers and actors from New York to their home on Wednesday nights to read their plays, short stories, screenplays, prose, poetry where they give each other positive feedback.
Mathers said, "It became as a weekly thing. Then we moved to a theater over Jerry's Deli, then to NoHo for a while, but we found a permanent home at the Two Roads Theater in Studio City. We've been doing this now for 22 years and the output has been prodigious. The Writer's Group has been a stimulus for all of us. It's motivating, it's community, it's supportive and it's networking – networking is the job of everyone in our industry – it's the woof and warp of the industry."
"Henry & Dad" is based on a one-act play written by James, inspired by a conversation he had with his son a few years earlier. The play was produced a couple of times and did well, so he turned it into a novel. The hero, Henry, a construction worker finds his girlfriend pregnant and missing and has to reconcile with his alcoholic father in order to solve the mystery surrounding her disappearance. "It's a fast-paced novel," said Mathers. "An e-book to open up at LAX and by the time you get to Denver, you'll be at the last page."
"Cindy's Eyes" is the story of Ray, a Hollywood taxi driver in the early seventies, and his remarkable fares. Ray falls for one of his fares, Cindy, a porno queen, and tries to drag her out of the hell she's in. They try to make it, but she's a victim of her addictions and slides back into the life, Ray follows. "This book has all the action of Hollywood in the early seventies - sex, drugs, rock and roll that Mathers experienced himself as a cab driver in 1969," Mathers said."
Reviews from Amazon about "Cindy's Eyes" said, "It is provocative, dark, sexy and edge of your seat. This is a great read! There really must be a Movie made from this work! A totally untapped time period in Hollywood to explore. We haven't seen this until now. Not in THIS way. Everyone should check this piece out!"
Mathers is finishing his third novel "Gold Cup," with the help of his colleagues from The Writer's Group. It is about the famous after hours coffee shop that used to be on the corner of Hollywood and Las Palmas, it's gone now, but it was where everybody congregated – cabbies, hookers, all the people of the night.
Mathers has several commercials running and a TV pilot coming out with Jon Voight, Leiv Schreiber and Elliot Gould. He is also in the movie "7500," a teen horror thriller on a plane directed by Tak Shimizu ("The Grudge") where Mathers plays the old guy on the flight from LAX to Tokyo and then, well…horror happens.
"In a recent Hyundai spot I'm a CEO riding in a Genesis with my minion. I have a heart attack and the driver shocks me back to life with the seat belt. It's a funny spot and played on the Super Bowl and the Oscars and I did a "Got Milk" spot and some other stuff – I just try to keep busy. That's the name of the game," he said.
Mathers also produces "The Zombie Radio Show" with his partner, Craig Sabin, a web series that is a radio show satire based upon the "zombie apocalypse" which stuck New York in 2013. "We now have over seventy hilarious and edgy two-to-five-minute episodes produced and up on zombieradioshow.com," said Mathers.

Product DescriptionRepresenting over five years of product development and three years of continuous testing, this hydraulic trailer brake actuator has a unique all-aluminum master cylinder that incorporates the shock absorber into the master cylinder assembly. This provides the tow vehicle operator with a warning signal when the brake fluid is at a low level. In addition, the oversized master cylinder provides the higher pressures required to run disc brakes and the added brake fluid volume to run both tandem and tri-axle configurations. Higher pressures mean quicker stops when using traditional drum brakes. Fits trailer frames up to 3"W x 5"H and accommodates 2" hitch balls.

I couldn't even watch the whole thing is was so bizarre. Via TPM.
Well, why shouldn't fake political commentators working for a fake cable news network interview a fake Founding Father ... all while promoting the values of a fake grass roots political movement?
"I couldn't even watch the whole thing is was so bizarre."
Oh, c'mon, Paddy -- it couldn't have been any more bizarre than when Fox Business's John Stossel hosted a debate between former presidential candidate Gary Johnson and "Barack Obama" (aka Reggie Brown):
As long as you keep in mind the fact Fox is a comedy channel, these things won't seem bizarre at all . . .

App tracks 'stop and search' incidents
Stephen Lawrence's death eventually catapulted the Met's failings into the headlines, but the constant test of relations between ethnic minorities and the police is the policy of 'stop and search.'
In 20 years, despite Macpherson, often young Londoners still fight the injustice of being stopped simply because of the colour of their skin. So much so there is now an App to help people report their experiences. Ria Chatterjea has the details.

More and more people are using their smartphone at work, with mobile devices becoming as tied to our working lives as they are to many other aspects of it.
The results of a poll that has been running on the Dialaphone blog for the last week indicates that a majority of our readers need their handset in order to do their job, with nearly two thirds of people saying as much.
Exactly what purpose they serve in peoples' working lives could be many and varied; the functions of modern, high-spec smartphones are so extensive that they can be put to an enormous number of uses.
Examples include keeping up with emails, using personal organisers and calendars, taking and organising notes and simply making calls and sending texts when on the go.
Aside from the call and texts functions (which could be done on a feature phone) we get the feeling that smartphones have come to be used for many tasks which may have otherwise been completed using computers and latops.
The brilliantly ergonomic user interfaces that smartphone apps are now designed with make them a realistic alternative for quick tasks that is much easier then getting out a laptop, sitting down at a desk and powering up what are comparatively cumbersome devices.
There is also the convenience angle in terms of portability to consider. Whereas laptops are far more portable compared to desktop computers it's much easier to take a smartphone into a meeting than to carry a computer of any kind. It's also far less intrusive when placed on your boardroom table.
However, there are more specific areas of work where smartphones definitely come into play. As our Facebook follower Mark Buikema responded when we asked our social networking audience if they need their smartphones at work: "As an app developer, yes".
While smartphones offer a platform for plenty of business and work tools to be used, the devices and their ecosystems have become so developed that many people's jobs are now based around creating content and software specifically for mobile users. Website developers no doubt have to check how the page they are working on renders on an iPhone.
Work use of smartphones used to be an area that was almost completely boxed off by BlackBerry, with the manufacturer having seen its devices become closely linked with the enterprise market.
However, there has been a change in recent years, with other manufacturers keenly eyeing up the business world. We asked those members of our Facebook audience who have work phones which manufacturer is favoured by their employer and Sony came out on top, with both HTC and Apple also appearing on the list.
Stephen Elop, CEO of Nokia, was recently asked by business news service Bloomberg if he had his eye on the enterprise market. "I get asked a lot of questions about this relative to BlackBerry, and what I'll say is: I'm very interested in BlackBerry customers" commented the boss of the Finnish firm.
Meanwhile, even US defense headquarters The Pentagon has opened its ultra-secure networks up to iOS and Android devices recently, meaning its agents could be using iPhones and the Galaxy S III before long. The agency currently has an incredible 470,000 BlackBerry device on its books and has long been a fan of the security that they offer.
Besides specific manufacturers deliberately aiming themselves towards the enterprise market, there are other ways in which they can expand their user base. Many employers now run 'bring your own device' schemes, where a person own handset can be tailored to and synced with company software and networks, saving them having to carry two phones around with them.
BlackBerry has clearly notice this trend and built its BlackBerry 10 platform with this in mind. Within the new BlackBerry UI the option for users to draw a distinction between work and personal use has been incorporated in the form of BlackBerry Balance. This allows company information to be stored in one part of the device and personal data in another.
Should that person leave their job, their employer is able to erase all relevant data automatically but leave handset otherwise untouched.
Smartphones are becoming intrinsically linked with our working lives, and the response from our readers has clearly indicated that their use in the workplace is increasing. However, perhaps the most interesting revelation to spring forth from our research concerns the way in which smartphone manufacturers are now cashing on the enterprise market previously the reserve of BlackBerry. Whether the threat is on that will ultimately put paid to the chances of BlackBerry reclaiming its business use crown remains to be seen, but with the recent innovations included in BlackBerry 10, it's clearly something the Canadian firm has considered.

Deputy PM Nick Clegg intervenes on Justice Secretary's hearings proposals
The plans are aimed at finding a way of managing sensitive evidence from the security services.
The Daily Mail reports that Mr Clegg said their concerns "cannot be allowed to ride roughshod over the principles of open justice".
The newspaper also said Mr Clegg said the powers to take evidence in secret should not apply to inquests and that judges rather than ministers should decide when the measures are used in a small number of civil cases expected to be affected

Xavier Paul has cleared waivers, and the Pirates have released him completely. Jenifer Langosch points out that due to the release, Paul can't sign with the Pirates again until mid-May, so it looks like his tenure with the club has come to an end, at least for the near future.

The best thing about astrology is what it teaches you about your own nature. And there's always more to learn. Recently, I read a description of those with Mercury Rx in their natal charts. That the natives are more likely to skip around a book, than read front to back.
That's me! I've got natal Mercury in Cancer, and I swim around a book, looking for something that grabs me emotionally. It makes me a fast reader, though what I've taken away is more of an impressionistic, highly subjective take.The Mercury Rx Club
About one-quarter of us have Mercury retrograde in our natal charts. Check your own birth chart, and look for the Mercury glyph. If you see an Rx next to it, that means you were born in a retrograde time frame.
Since Mercury covers perception, getting a handle on how you see things helps you be more effective in the world. If you've got Mercury retrograde, you've got a very different mercurial make-up than other people. Understanding how you think can lessen the frustrations that go along with this kind of Mercury.Authentic Mind
Astrologer Jan Spiller sees with Mercury retrograde natives the trailing of past lives of holding back the truth, or having to go along with the party line. This time around, there's a profound sense of being inarticulate, and struggling to speak.
In her insightful article, Mercury Retrograde at Birth, Spiller writes on natives, "In this lifetime, they are not allowed to speak superficially. To feel "straight" with themselves, they must communicate fully, from the authenticity of their entire being. Naturally, it takes time for them to get in touch with this level of authenticity."Non-linear Thinking
I've always tried to force myself to be a more linear thinker. Examples are when I've set a goal to read the unabridged Shakespeare, or that time in high school, when I was determined to learn auto mechanics from a how-to book. Trying to force my mind down the A to Z groove has led to a lot of frustration. It's liberating to embrace who you are, and work with those strengths. After all, so much of our pain in life comes from trying to be someone we're not!
When you have Mercury Rx in your natal chart, how it behaves will depend on the element, quality and what house it's in.
In water signs, like mine, the mind searches for the emotional essence, and from that forms a picture of perception. Like with the retrograde cycle, the processes of the mind are different, and may take longer. You may swim in different channels of the mind. Sometimes if feels like you're speaking another language. And it can make you feel misunderstood, until you learn to translate what you perceive into language others can understand.
The collage effect of Mercury retrograde makes it hard to see how things will play out. You may see the end before the middle, or a vision of what's to come. But if this resonates with you, try working with, rather than against your own Mercury Rx. Instead of swimming against the tide, look for mediums where this kind of perception is valued and even rewarded.
Trust your perception, and find ways of expressing yourself through art, music, dance. The arts allow a different kind of language, that of symbol and collage, to stand on its own. No translation necessary! Trust that you have a unique way of seeing the world, one that is worth sharing.

Good News for Mothers
Since 1 July 1837, marriage records in England and Wales have included the names and occupations of the fathers of bride and groom. But there is no mention of the mothers. This is an insult to every mother and mother-in-law and does not help the family historian either.
For many years, family historians have pressed the Government to increase the information included in marriage certificates.
A campaign launched by Ailsa Burkimsher Sadler to include mothers on their children's marriage lines attracted over 70,000 supporters via an online petition. As a result, the Prime Minister has instructed the Home Office to address the inequality on marriage certificates and allow the names of mothers to appear as well as those of fathers.
But no date has been set for this reform. So let's keep the ball rolling and let our MPs know what we think about the subject.

Now you all know how big of a difference and drop-off it is from Steven Jackson to guys like Daryl Richardson and Isaiah Pead. It's a shame.
I'd just like to point out that the only reason we were able to beat SF and tie with them last year was because in both games, Steven Jackson played an integral role and was the difference maker. Isaiah Pead or Daryl Richardson couldn't do what Jackson did. Not even close.
Anyone remember that 3rd and 14 play against SF where Sjax got the 1st down for us? We were down and behind at that point. Without that play, the Rams punt the ball, and we lose.
Anyway, I'm not here to chastise you if you were one of the people that wanted Daryl Richardson to get more carries than Steven Jackson last year at any point or didn't sorely miss Jackson when he left. Some of you were bold enough to say that it was better for the team when Sjax left (you were clearly wrong). Whatever.
This thread is about the Thursday Night game against SF. No way we win without a run game. It's also not going to happen with Daryl Richardson and Isaiah Pead. I've never been a fan of this RBBC crap. I want a workhorse again.
Time to draft a RB early next year!

Don't procrastinate
If you've been waiting to create a training manual, don't put it off any longer, says Matt Gohlke, president of Gohlke Custom Pools in Denton, Texas.
As the pool and spa industry continues to evolve, so will the
lessons required to train a staff. The more information there is,
the more overwhelming it may seem, so he says do it sooner rather
than later — or never.
Keep it simple, accurate and professional
When teaching someone the ins and outs of a business, there's
a lot to cover. Sticking to the fundamentals helps, says Alex
Antoniou, director of Educational Programs at the National Swimming Pool
Foundation, Colorado Springs, Colo.
"Don't be overly verbose," he explains.
"You can say something in one sentence. You don't need
to make a whole page out of it."
To get your points across quickly and concisely, avoid essay-type
verbiage and replace it with bullet points, diagrams and flow
charts. Some businesses may choose to create one manual for the
entire company, while others may create different ones for each
department or job, as well as a separate guide for new hires or
general operations. Either way, the key is to present the
information clearly.
Utilize your resources
If you're not sure where to begin, try going to your
manufacturers or trade journals first, Gohlke says. Both provide
up-to-date and relevant information that can contribute to a more
complete training manual.
In addition to product brochures and Websites, many companies even
have training videos and seminars available. Of course, there are
industry Webinars and training certifications as well, and material
can be gleaned from these, too.
"There's tons of knowledge out there. You just have to
get it to your people," Gohlke notes.
Overlays and Toppings
The program allows industry professionals to tailor their training to their needs with...

i made it home safe, but the same can't be said for everyone...
So, if you've spoken to me in the past week, you know that Zoe and I have been traumatized by Cracker, a mouse that happilly lived within our pantry and possessed a particular food fetish for Carr's water crackers. After several run-ins with Cracker, we simply couldn't take it anymore. Thus, we inlisted the help of our house boy.
Richard not only takes out our trash, kills our bugs and carries our luggage...he's now in charge of pest control. I walked in the door from Berkeley, dropped my bags and checked out the pantry.
So long, old Cracker. I hope your heaven is filled with an array of high end appitizers...

Delta finds new love on The Voice
Thu June 21, 2012 9:21pm
IN APRIL came reports that Delta Goodrem had fallen for one of her male colleagues on The Voice the program's star coaches Seal and even the married Joel Madden initially linked to the songbird.
On Wednesday night, two nights after wrapping the first season of Channel Nine's phenomenally successful talent show, the diva finally let her guard down at Lady Gaga's Sydney concert and revealed the new man in her life to be The Voice frontman Darren McMullen.

Pictures: Stars shine at The Voice after party
Eyewitnesses at Gaga's Sydney show say the lovebirds spent the night exchanging kisses and holding hands for all to see, clearly distracted by each other as they soaked up the euphoric concert atmosphere.
A concert insider yesterday confirmed Goodrem and McMullen attended the show with a group of friends including Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman, who was celebrating her 45th birthday with a night out at Acer Arena.
Sources say Goodrem and McMullen have been together for "some months'' after sparks started flying on the set of The Voice earlier in the year.
The romance follows a friendship spanning six years with the pair initially introduced while Goodrem was still with longtime beau Brian McFadden.
But with Sony bosses unwilling to endorse the lovematch between Goodrem and the LA-based McMullen, who once admitted pashing a "grotty'' Pamela Anderson, reps for both parties have been refusing to confirm the relationship.

"They are really into each other and are a pretty good match,'' said one music industry source.
Goodrem, 27, was last romantically linked to US country singer Nick Jonas, with whom she split in February.
McMullen, 30, has a reputation for being a serial flirt and once bragged he "charmed the pants off'' Hollywood actress Kate Hudson in 2006, two weeks before her divorce.
Like Goodrem, who was engaged to McFadden, McMullen has also recently mended a broken heart after his Sydney model fiancee Rechelle Lee broke off their engagement last year.

A project a decade in the making will soon honor the lives of two prominent Albemarle County pioneers.
The Lewis and Clark Exploratory Center could be finished within the next month, but there are still some unexpected challenges before it can officially open its doors.
The center has raised a now estimated $1.8 million through state funds, grants and private donors. But it may have to raise several thousand more before it can open its new home in Darden Towe Park because of an unforeseen $33,000 hookup fee for water.
The executive director of the Lewis and Clark Exploratory Center, Alexandria Searls, says she had hoped for a discounted rate or a payment plan since the center is a nonprofit and she doesn't think they should pay as much as for-profit developers. She said none of the experts who went over their construction budget had foreseen this expense.
However Gary O'Connell, the executive director of the Albemarle County Service Authority, said this is a common charge. He said someone has to pay and it shouldn't be other developers or individual customers.
The hookup fee is what O'Connell referred to as "growth paying for growth." He says new infrastructure means new water lines and sewer hookups must be in place, among other things. He said big developments - like The Shops at Stonefield - would have a larger hookup fee than a residential home. But anything that's hooked to public water pays for a connection fee, whether it's a church, city government building, apartment complexes or buildings for nonprofits. "That's part of the cost of development," he said.
So far the service authority has given the center a temporary water hookup for watering of plants. In the meantime, it seems the center will have to raise more money.
Searls said she hopes in the future, regulations could change to allow libraries, schools and nonprofits to get a break since their work positively impacts the community and they don't have as big of budgets as major for-profits.
Once the Lewis and Clark Exploratory Center is completed it will have exhibits, a library, a kitchen for "native plant cooking classes," and an event space for meetings. It will also serve as the starting point for outdoor adventure programs.
"When the center opens, families and visitors will be able to come and learn more about local history, do hands-on activities. We really teach the skills of exploration," Searls said.
Meriwether Lewis was born in Ivy and the Clark family homestead was right near the center. Searls says it's a local story that's often neglected, and now she wants to talk more about the time the two had to Charlottesville and Albemarle.
"The local history of Lewis and Clark was a story that really wasn't told. We have Monticello telling Jefferson's story, we have Montpellier and Ashlawn, but we didn't have the story of our explorers," she said.
The new building is designed to fit into the landscape with a green roof and a structure that juts out of the hillside facing the Rivanna River.
"When you're looking at it from a distance it looks like it's going into the horizon," Searls said.
The building has modern features, but is also created to look like an old keel boat that Lewis and Clark used, with two poles at the top of the building serving as the mast.
The center could be open within the next month for class tours. There's a grand opening expected in the spring, at which time the center would be open during more regular hours.

Eddie Johnson names Brandon Roy 21st best player
21. Brandon Roy Moves in as Baron Davis drops out. Roy is the cousin of Manu Ginobili. He finds a way to attack the basket regardless of the defensive tactics of the opposing team. He uses his left hand better than some left-handers. He is dangerous because he has continued to stretch his range and now can run off numbers at a rapid pace. The Blazers are the most talented team in the league 1 through 12 and one way Roy can continue to move up is not becoming too shot happy and getting his teammates involved more in the early parts of the game.

The National Bank of Greece expects fatal consequences for the country on exit from euro
If Greece leaves the euro area, living standard will crash, incomes will decrease by half, and inflation and unemployment will sharply skyrocket. This gloomy forecast is made by the National Bank of Greece, which examine what would be the consequences of the return of the former national currency Drachma (replaced by the euro in 2001.)
On exit from the euro area the income per capita will fall by 55%, the Drachma will be had with 65% against the euro, and the GDP will shrink by 22%. The Bank forecast growth of unemployment to 34%.
The Greek State will not be able to finance itself and will resort to printing money thus triggering chain reaction of inflation. Experts expect inflation to reach 30% by maintaining ascending trend for a long time.
In case of GREXIT (term for the exit of Greece from the euro area), the country will not have access to global financial markets and will not be able to fulfill its obligations towards its creditors, owed to 325 billion Euros.
The study of National Bank of Greece warns the potential cessation of payments on the debt will have also exclusively unfavorable consequences for international relations of Greece, as well as for Greek businessmen, who develop their activity abroad. Citizens will not have access to fuel, medicines and other goods of prime necessity.
Experts forewarn that these conclusions apply only in the case of a smooth and peaceful transition to drachma. In the event of unregulated bankruptcy of Greece, the consequences will be even more dramatic.
Meanwhile, the opinion polls show that the majority of Greeks want their country to remain in euro zone. At the same time 77, 8% of the Greeks are for the correction of the memorandum for savings and 66, 4% share that they prefer coalition Government after the new elections on 17 June, 2012. However, senior officials in the EU noted that if the next Greek Government throws back the survival plan, the country will not receive further financial assistance, which would help it to avoid bankruptcy and to stay in the euro area.
Greece's political parties were not able to form a coalition government on May following voters' rejection of austerity measures insisted upon by the European Union and the IMF, so the country will repeat the parliamentary elections in June.
According to sociological predictions, the radical left coalition SIRIZA would receive the majority of votes at the new scheduled at the parliamentary elections. The second and third political forces-the conservative party New Democracy and the Socialists from PASOK are expected to be ranked on second and third place. The big question is whether the pro-bailout parties would be able to establish a coalition government; otherwise Greece may be forced to leave the euro area.

James Nachtwey's book "Inferno" is a collection of 382 photographs depicting the horrific brutality and suffering of people who are entrapped by war, famine or political unrest. Its publication offers an opportunity to reflect not only on his extraordinary and courageous career as a photojournalist but on how, in this time of visual onslaught, images such as these are absorbed and their messages acted upon.
Ahead of the 25th anniversary of Tiananmen Square, Nieman Reports takes an in-depth look at The State of Journalism in China and what a number of reporters are doing to cope with tight restrictions. As Chinese officials continue to block websites from around the world, jam social media postings and delete sensitive online information, domestic journalists in China are seeking ways to circumvent censors. Those who go too far risk being fired or even arrested, while foreign journalists face various forms of government intimidation and visa denials.

I am confused about how the tie breakers work.
I was just checking the standings. I see the Dolphins are ahead of the Titans for wildcard spot. I tought head to head is the first tie breaker in the conf. Can some body please explain that for me. So, if both teams win out and are the only teams tied for the last spot, who wins the tie breaker? It is very confusing. Do we still need the Dolphins to lose one game?

Women are allowed to fight in the frontline in the British armed forces so why are Americans so different? Admittedly they are excluded from quite a few regimments on a physicality basis but thats just the way it is. Other than that they have as equal a right as anyone to fight for their country. Either its because Americans are very cinservative on the issue or their male soldiers cant keep their hands to themselves. I think its the former and thhey should get over it.

As everyone knows by now, the Metrodome roof collapsed last week meaning the status of the Chicago Bears and Minnesota Vikings Monday Night Football game is in question. The game was originally scheduled to be played at the Metrodome but with Minnesota officials worried it won't be ready in time, other options are being examined.
One of those options is TCF Stadium at the University of Minnesota. Darren Wolfson of the Star Tribune in Minneapolis writes via Twitter that we're expecting word of its availability by Tuesday evening, if not sooner.
"The snow removal continuing right now at TCF Stadium. Thought we would have word by noon... should know by tonight where the game will be."
It's not as easy as just flipping on the lights and opening the stadium. A release from the University of Minnesota hours after the Metrodome roof collapse suggests they could be a future venue for the Vikings.
"Following the Golden Gophers last home game against Iowa, TCF Bank Stadium was winterized for the season and is not now immediately operational for football games. Enabling the Vikings to play at our stadium presents substantial logistical and operational challenges on such short notice. We'll continue to explore all feasible options to make it possible to accommodate the Vikings on campus to complete their season in the Twin Cities, should that be necessary."
So we wait to hear more answers which are expected Tuesday evening.
