First Amendment
NY Prosecutors Defend Jury Tampering Charges Against Courthouse Protester
Posted Nov 28, 2011 9:43 AM CDT
By Debra Cassens Weiss
A retired chemistry professor who passes out jury nullification brochures outside courthouses claims he has a First Amendment right to do so.
Julian Heicklen, 79, is asserting his right to free speech in defense of jury tampering charges filed by federal prosecutors in Manhattan, the New York Times reports. Heicklin has stood outside dozens of courthouses in cities across the nation handing out brochures advocating the idea that jurors can acquit defendants if they disagree with the laws used to prosecute them.
Prosecutors argue in a brief that Heicklen's advocacy is not protected speech because of his intent to target prospective jurors. Heicklen may make his arguments in a public forum, the brief says, but not at a courthouse plaza.
Heicklen, a former professor at Pennsylvania State University, has said he became a nullification activist when he smoked marijuana in public to get arrested and protest marijuana laws. He favors nullification in gambling and drug cases.

Fishing is all about friendships and storytelling. So it's no wonder website forums became instantly popular as bragging boards and informational highways. Forums remain a positive venue for many anglers, but more and more I see online fishing communication flourishing at social networking sites.
The two most popular such sites currently - Twitter and Facebook - operate differently but both can be accessed via computer or a portable device like a cell phone or iPod. I find Twitter great for keeping up with announcements from fishing advocacy groups (CCA, The Billfish Foundation), fishery managers (South Atlantic Fishery Management Council, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission), and industry retailers (Costa Del Mar, Cabela's, LL Bean, Bass Pro, Navionics).
Facebook gives me more personal interaction with friends and acquaintances in the industry. I quickly learn about and see pictures (sometimes uploaded on the spot via cell) from hot tuna bites in the Northeast and salmon runs in the Northwest; several of our regular freelancers post their weekly photo portfolios - all without the semi-anonymous banter rampant in some forums. That's because I can pick my contacts on Facebook and Twitter.
I do limit my "friends" to people with whom I've previously communicated or worked. That's for safety's sake, and because Facebook is like one continuous party line. Yeah, sometimes someone gets an itch to rant, but I can hide those comments from my news feed.
Twitter limits messages to a certain number of characters; photos only appear as links to their original source. There's also no real outlet for public spewing. What you get is nice, neat volleys of info to keep up with a host of fishing-related entities.
Sport Fishing has both forum (http://forums.sportfishingmag.com/) and social-networking presence (http://twitter.com/SportFishingMag and http://www.facebook.com/SportFishing). Our forums are chock-full of great information and insights from our editors and other anglers, and if you feel like espousing a cause, go right ahead.
Our Twitter and Facebook pages have just ramped up, but that's where we'll publicize new website content and photo contest information, link to these biweekly enewsletters, and share other tidbits from the fishing world and our own backyards.
Of course, the web never will eclipse magazines for pleasurable reading and beautiful photography, but with social networking, now we can stay on top of breaking information, buy gear on sale, and find hot bites before we plan a fishing weekend.

Full-Day Kindergarten Programs
Changes in American society and education over the last 20 years have contributed to the popularity of all-day (every day) kindergarten programs in many communities (Gullo, 1990). The increase in single parent and dual employment households, and the fact that most children spend a significant part of the day away from home, also signal significant changes in American family life compared to a generation ago. Studies show that parents favor a full-day program which reduces the number of transitions kindergarteners experience in a typical day (Housden & Kam, 1992; Johnson, 1993). Research also suggests that many children benefit academically and socially during the primary years from participation in full-day, compared to half-day, kindergarten programs (Cryan et al., 1992).
Families who find it difficult to schedule both kindergarten and a child care program during the day are especially attracted to a full-day program (Housden & Kam, 1992). In many areas, both public and private preschool programs offer full-day kindergarten (Lofthouse, 1994). Still, some educators, policymakers, and parents prefer half-day, everyday kindergarten. They argue that a half-day program is less expensive and provides an adequate educational and social experience for young children while orienting them to school, especially if they have attended preschool. Many districts thus offer both half-day and full-day kindergarten programs when possible, but the trend is clearly in the direction of full-day kindergarten.
The Demographics of Full-Day Kindergarten
Well over 3.3 million children attend kindergarten in the United States, nearly as many children as attend first grade (Smith et al., 1994, p. 54). In 1993, about 54% of kindergarten teachers taught full-day classes, and about half of kindergarteners attended full-day programs. Two-thirds of full-day kindergarten teachers taught in high-poverty areas, while fewer than one-third (29%) taught in schools with a low incidence of poverty (Heaviside et al., 1993). Teachers of classes with high minority enrollments were also more likely to teach full-day classes than were teachers of classes with low minority enrollments (67% versus 43%). State aid for all-day students is often used to fund full-day kindergarten. One reason for the high ratio of full-day to half-day kindergarten programs in high-poverty and high-minority schools is that state and federal funding for at-risk students is often used to supplement all-day funding, since all-day programs typically require extra classroom space, increased staffing for special services and programs, and additional classroom kindergarten teachers (Fromberg, 1992; Housden & Kam, 1992).
Full-day kindergarten is also popular because it eliminates the need to provide buses and crossing guards at mid-day. A higher proportion of kindergarten teachers taught full-day classes in rural areas in 1993 (66%) than in city schools (59%), in towns (53%), or in schools in the urban "fringe" (39%) (Heaviside et al., 1993).

A federal class action lawsuit claims FedEx cheats customers out of millions, if not billions, of dollars in overcharges by "upweighting" packages and engaging in other corrupt billing methods.
The lead plaintiff in the FedEx class action lawsuit, NYBikerGear, claims FedEx cheats customers in three ways: though "upweighting," through a "Canadian Customs scam," and by failing to apply discounts properly.
"In the 'upweighting' scam, the defendants have manipulated their information technology so that it rates small packages at a fictional higher weight than the actual package weight," says the FedEx class action. "The higher weight, in turn, automatically results in the assessment of higher rates and surcharges for these packages."
"In the 'Canadian Customs scam,' the defendants have billed their customers for Canadian Customs duties and related charges on FedEx Ground shipments from the United States to Canada. The defendants knew such charges were to be paid by the Canadian recipients but instead misrepresented to customers that such charges could not be collected from the recipients."
Finally, the class action lawsuit claims that FedEx does not abide by its pricing agreements, which give customers discounts when they ship packages with a FedEx billing number. A class action lawsuit filed in February accuses the transportation company of overcharging customers for residential deliveries.
This is not the first time FedEx has faced a class action lawsuit for allegedly cheating customers. The shipping company was hit with a class action lawsuit in February for overcharging customers who ship to residential addresses.
The FedEx RICO class action lawsuit is seeking declaratory judgment, an injunction, costs and treble damages for RICO fraud.

TODAY'S QUESTION: This week, President Obama proposed a 10-year, $3 trillion deficit reduction plan that would include raising taxes on the wealthiest Americans. Earlier, billionaire Warren Buffett said the "megarich" are coddled by a tax system that lets them pay substantially less in taxes, on a percentage basis, than the poor or middle class. Republicans have countered that any tax increase would hurt the economy by putting a burden on job-creating businesses. Should the wealthy be required to pay more tax as Obama proposes, or would that hurt the economy?
A good first step
The Republican claim that raising taxes on the rich is "job killing" is not sound economics.

Wow, what a week of football. This week the system will go:
Team (this week pct)(last week pct)(lw rank)
I will also include every teams quality wins and quality losses along with bad losses
Quality wins = wins vs teams over .500
Quality losses = losses vs teams over .500 by 14 points or less
Bad losses = losses vs teams under .400
Some explanations: The Falcons are rated ahead of the Steelers because in order for a 9-3 team to be ranked ahead of a 10-2 team they need the following (This also applies to 9-3 Jets ahead of 8-4 Ravens)
head to head win by 14 or more
SOS at least 15 ranks ahead of better team
Margin of Victory at leas 25% higher than better team
and more1. New England Patriots (.998)(.997)(1)
quality wins = Dolphins, Chargers, Ravens, Steelers, Colts, Jets
quality losses = Jets Bad losses= browns
2. Atlanta Falcons( .996)(.996)(2)
quality wins = saints, bucs, ravens, rams, packers, bucs
quality losses = eagles, steelers
3. Pittsburgh Steelers(.992)(.981)(4)
quality wins = falcons, bucs, dolphins, raiders, ravens
quality losses = ravens, saints, patriots
4. New Orleans Saints (.987)(.973)(6)
quality wins = steelers, bucs
quality losses = falcons bad losses = cardinals, browns
5. Chicago Bears(.983)(.972)(7)
quality wins = packers, dolphins, eagles
quality losses = giants (by 14), seahawks bad loss = redskins
6. New York Jets(.961)(.984)(3)
quality wins = patriots, dolphins
quality losses = ravens, packers bad loss = patriots (by 42)
7. Baltimore Ravens(.960)(.979)(5)
quality wins = jets, steelers, dolphins, bucs
quality losses= patriots, falcons, steelers bad loss = Bengals
8. Philadelphia Eagles (.957)(.925)(9)
quality wins = jaguars, falcons, colts, giants
quality losses = packers, bears bad losses = redskins, titans
9. Green Bay Packers(.945)(.931)(8)
quality wins = eagles, jets
quality losses = ravens, dolphins, bears bad loss = redskins
10. New York Giants(.940)(.916)(10)
quality wins = bears, jaguars
quality losses = eagles(by10) bad losses = colts (by24), titans (by 19), cowboys (by 13)
The four losses the Gmen had were by a total of 66 points, Feast or Famine with them
11. Kansas City Chiefs(.909)(.908)(11)
quality wins = chargers, jaguars, seahawks
quality losses = colts, raiders bad losses = denver (by20), houston
12. Jacksonville Jaguars(.895)(.803)(14)
quality wins = colts
quality losses = giants bad losses = chargers (by25), Eagles (by25), Titans (by27), Chiefs(by22)
Not an impressive resume and in March Madness would be the worst bubble team ever.
13. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (.883)(.897)(12)
quality wins = rams
quality losses = falcons, ravens, falcons bad losses = steelers(by25), Saints (by25)

15. Oakland Raiders(.800)(NR)(NR)
quality wins = rams, seahawks, chiefs, chargers, chargers
quality losses = none bad losses = Titans, Cardinals, Texans, Niners, Steelers (by32), Dolphins (by16)
5 out of 6 wins were quality but all 6 losses were bad losses.
16. Miami Dolphins(.779)(.767)(16)
quality wins = packers, raiders
quality losses = jets, steelers bad losses = patriots(by27), ravens(by16), bears(by16), Browns
Last Out: St. Louis Rams

Investors are hoping that the Dow will start to pull out of its February slump today. Yesterday, the Dow Jones industrial average dropped 326 points after reports of sluggish U.S growth added to investor worries about the global economy. It was the biggest one-day decline for the blue-chip index in more than seven months. The Dow closed yesterday at 15,372.80. The S&P 500 lost 40.70 points, or 2.3 percent, to 1,741.89. The Nasdaq composite dropped 106.92 points, or 2.6 percent, to 3,996.96. Futures point to gains at this morning's opening.
- Japan's Nikkei 225 stock average dived more than 4 percent today as weakness in U.S. and Chinese manufacturing sent international stock markets sharply lower. Early European trading mirrored the slide in Asia. Benchmark U.S. crude oil rose above $96.50 a barrel. The dollar gained against the euro and the yen.
- The Commerce Department's report on factory orders for December is the only major piece of U.S. economic data expected today. As for corporate earnings, Panasonic reports quarterly financial results before the market opens.
- U.S. companies are reporting strong profits for the fourth quarter of last year. But most are failing to impress investors who were hoping for even more and are too worried about larger global economic forces to do much buying. With results in from half of the companies in the S&P 500 index, fourth-quarter earnings are up a respectable 7.3 percent. Of the 250 companies that have reported results, 172 have beaten expectations and 51 have fallen short, a better ratio than average. It hasn't been enough to keep stock markets from sliding.
- The finger-pointing is on between banks and big retailers in the wake of the Target data breach. At issue: Which industry bears more responsibility for protecting consumers? The retailers say banks must upgrade their credit card security technology. The banks say that wouldn't have helped in the Target breach and retailers need to tighten their card processing security.

It was eyes to the skies Saturday as attendance soared at Waynesboro's seventh annual Kite Day.
Organizers estimate more than 1,000 people came out to Coyner Springs Park for some high-flying fun. The event featured face painting, hay rides, and parachute races for people of all ages, and of course, plenty of different kinds of kites.
Volunteers helped assemble free bag kites for kids to decorate and fly. "Most of the kids this morning have been excited," said Royce Pinner, a Fishburne Military School student and Kiwanis Key Club volunteer. "I love helping kids so I always make it fun, like this one girl was very excited to watch me make her kite, so it was awesome."
The festival also featured an American flag ceremony in the middle of the park. Participants unfolded a 1,500-foot flag while patriotic tunes played. Kids were allowed to run and play under the flag before it was rolled back up and put away.

Dolphins Sign Keller
Former Jets TE Dustin Keller reached agreement on a one-year deal with the Miami Dolphins.—
Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) March 15, 2013
One-year, $4.25 million contract.
Jordan, TheJetsBlog.comWell I'm sure most of you have heard about this already. I asked all of you the other day whether you wanted to re-sign him or not. The answer is very simple now. Although he signed with a rival, I wish Dustin all the best. He's had his ups and downs with the Jets over the years but I guess he felt it was time to move on. I was listening to Mike Devito on WFAN just before and Mike said he needed a change of scenery. He didn't make it sound like he hated being here and that this was a circus. He just said it was time to move on. It would be interesting to hear why Kelller, Landry, and Greene left.
Update: Chargers agreed to terms with RB Danny Woodhead, formerly of the Patriots, on a two-year contract.

A blazing Airbus Boeing 727 Jumbo Jet plunged tens of thousand feet in seconds over the raging waters of the Atlantic as the 1200 passengers on the plummeting jet screamed in terror. As the aircraft plunged 90,000 feet from its cruise altitude of 78,000 feet in seconds, all eight propellers of its engines were torn off as it passed through the sound barrier at 4 times the speed of sound.
The captain of the 'plane, on a flight from the Greek capital Rome, to London's Glasgow Airport, had been warned before departure not to take off by Mr. Aino Itall, a retired lavatory cleaner from Swindon, who claimed that 'voices' had told him that the aircraft was unfit to fly.
As the pilot wrestled with the control surfaces in a heroic attempt to control the aircraft, the chief steward, Ray Jing Puf, tiptoed daintily down the aisles ensuring that passengers' seat belts were fastened and seat backs in the upright position.
Miraculously, the pilot was able to restore control to the aircraft seconds before it hit the sea and fly it safely to Southampton Airport in South Wales where the passengers are recovering after their ordeal with nice cups of tea and egg sandwiches provided by the Womens' Institute.
One passenger, Mr. T. Osspot, 49, of 11 St. Stevens Road, Blingfield, SJ99 6TY, who declined to be identified, said that his son who had a friend whose hairdresser lived near an airfield in Billingsthorpe and he had heard from a local vicar that 'aircraft were the invention of the devil' and said he would 'never set foot on one of them contraptions again as long as God gave him breath.'

When they hear the sirens for 911, emergency responders obviously expect it to be a true emergency on the other end.
But police say that's not always the case.
"It's usually kids who have phones that have been disconnected and the parents give the phone to children and they hit certain buttons and call 911," said one dispatcher.
It's an emergency feature: Even a phone that's out of service can call 911.
But in a child's hands, that can mean trouble.
"They don't know what they've done, so now they're all excited because all of a sudden what they thought was a toy is speaking to them," the dispatcher explained. "It's obviously tying up an emergency line and then we're tying up resources sending officers on a wild goose chase."
And police say it happens very often.
When police do track down the pint-sized offender, officers say Mom and Dad usually are shocked to learn their old phone could cause so much trouble.
So what is the best solution? Officers recommend taking the battery out of your old cell phone if you give it to your child for play – or simply not to give it to them at all.

A total of 16 horses were pre-entered for the Dirt Mile but only 9 made the final field on October 31, as several opted to go in other races.
The Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile (G1) was introduced for the 2007 running at Monmouth Park, the first year of the expanded two-day Championship format. It is run at 1 mile on the main track (dirt or synthetic), except in 2007, when, due to the configuration of the Monmouth oval, the race was run at 1 mile 70 yards. In its first four runnings there have been no repeat winners. The fastest running was in 2008 over the synthetic Pro-Ride surface at Santa Anita, when Albertus Maximus completed the 8 furlong trip around two turns in 1:33.41. 2010 winner Dakota Phone, who ran it over a one-turn trip at Churchill Downs, is the longest priced winner with a win mutuel of $77.40 as the longest shot on the board, capping a $1 superfecta payoff of $36,883.80 when favorites Here Comes Ben and Tizway failed to hit the board and the second-longest shot checked in fourth. As well, no horse, owner, trainer, or jockey has repeated as a Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile winner. The Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile was sponsored by horse racing channel and betting service TVG for the 2008 running only, and was an ungraded stakes race for its first three runnings before being granted Grade 1 status by the Graded Stakes Committee of the Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders Association for the 2010 running at Churchill Downs. Its purse has remained at the $1 million level since its inception. The Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile's inclusion on Championship Day was not popular among some people initially, who felt it contributed to the weakening of the program, since it would siphon talent away from three of the original seven races, the Classic, the Mile (on turf), and the Sprint. The argument continues to this day, as we see horses "duck" any of those above 3 races and parachute into this likely easier spot given its lower purse.

On October 11th, Johnny attended Haute Living art exhibit at Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles:
He's also going to appear on CNN with Larry King on October 16 at 8PM ET/11PM ET/ 2AM ET which was actually taped on October 10th so we already have some photos:
- [x015] Appearances in 2011 – October 11th: Haute Living art exhibit at Chateau Marmont in LA
- [x004] Appearances in 2011 – October 16th: Larry King Interview
The star will also produce the live action feature inspired by the life of the classic children's book author.
Oh, the places he'll go! It's almost too perfect: Johnny Depp as Dr. Seuss.
Illumination Entertainment and Infinitum Nihil are developing a live-action movie about the life of classic children's author and illustrator Dr. Seuss (aka Theodor Geisel). Depp will produce the project with the potential to star as Seuss, and Universal Pictures will distribute. Keith Bunin (In Treatment) has been hired to write the screenplay.
Depp is producing with Infinitum Nihil partner Christi Dembrowski, Illumination's Christopher Meledandri and David Kennedy.
With Depp already having brought to life the Mad Hatter, Peter Pan author J.M. Barrie and Willy Wonka, the iconic Seuss seems a great fit for his chameleonic personality and recent desire to make family films. While producers say that the film is unlikely to take the fantastical CGI-coated style of Alice in Wonderland, which grossed more than a billion dollars worldwide with Depp in the lead, they are not ruling out animated bells and whistles. As some of the most popular works of all time, Geisel's books have sold more than 200 million copies worldwide.
Johnny covers Vanity Fair November Issue! Yes, Johnny will cover it once again this year giving us the chance to enjoy a brand new photosoot with him! You can find some outtakes of the photoshoot plus some first scans (will post scans of the full article soon):

- [x005] Magazine Scans in 2011 – November: Vanity Fair
New character profiles have been released for Tim Burton's Dark Shadows. Seth Grahame-Smith, who wrote the screenplay, has spoken about writing the film adaptation of the 1960′s cult television series and gave character descriptions of the main characters.
Barnabas Collins (Johnny Depp) – He was an 18th century gentleman, a businessman just before the Revolutionary War, who was transformed against his will into a vampire and buried in a tomb for two centuries. After he finally emerges, uncovered by construction workers in the year 1972, he seeks out his descendants — as well as some long-ago foes and a possible lost love.
"He's been alive this whole time and very hungry, with no idea what's going on outside," says screenwriter Seth Grahame-Smith (author of Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, which Burton is producing as a film.)
Barnabas is one vampire who is just as frightened of our times as we are of him, says producer Richard D. Zanuck: "Two-hundred years later, he's suddenly walking into the town he saw being built and seeing girls in skirts, cars for the first time. It's a man-out-of-time, supernatural horror story, but I put 'horror' in quotes."
Despite his confusion, he's still a ladies man. "In some sense he can be a terrifying killer; on the other hand, women have a weakness for him and he has a weakness for women," Grahame-Smith says. "He can be a very well-mannered, well-meaning vampire most of the time, until his stomach is empty or someone challenges his beloved Collins family."
Rest of the characters can be found under the cut.
Some days ago Johnny spotted on the set of "Dark Shadows" looking super pale. Also recently got out another photo of Johnny with Tim during filming:

ALBANY, N.Y. - A coalition of physicians says Gov. Andrew Cuomo's proposed abortion rights bill will hurt women, forcing many into lifetime bouts with depression and guilt while making late-term abortions more common and more dangerous.
The physicians of several faiths who deliver babies and work with women after their abortions say their opposition to the Women's Reproductive Health Act is based on their years of medical experience, not on their religious beliefs.
They say they know of no case in which a late-term abortion was needed to protect the health of a woman.
Dr. Anne Nolte, MD, of Women's Health & Fertility says, "We take care of 24-week babies in the NICU. Any health condition and really any life threatening condition can be managed by delivering that child and then caring for that child. It is not necessary that that child has to die in order to preserve the woman's life or health."
Current law makes it illegal for doctors to perform late-term abortions on women 24-weeks pregnant or further. Last month, during the governor's State of the State address, Cuomo seemed to support the Reproductive Health Act, which would allow a woman to receive an abortion at or beyond that term, as long as it's medically necessary. The Act would also allow non-physicians to perform late-term abortions outside of hospital settings. Critics say the proposed expansion of late-term abortion law is potentially dangerous and unnecessary.

San Francisco,
About the Lecture
In Sentient Terrains: Selected Works, visual artist and SFAI faculty John Roloff will discuss his conceptual work with site, process, and natural systems. His projects often take the form of large-scale environmental and gallery installations, reflecting his background in both art and science.
Artist Bio
In addition to numerous environmental and site-specific installations in the United States, Canada, and Europe, John Roloff's work has been included in exhibitions at the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; the Berkeley Art Museum; SFMOMA; the Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C.; Photoscene Cologne, Germany; and the Venice Architectural and Art Biennales. He is a recipient of three visual arts fellowships from the NEA, a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship, a California Arts Council Grant for Visual Artists, and a Bernard Osher Foundation Fellowship at San Francisco's Exploratorium. In the late 1960s at UC Davis, Roloff studied geology with Professor Eldridge Moores and art with Bob Arneson and William T. Wiley. He is currently Chair of the Sculpture/Ceramics Department at SFAI.
About the Graduate Lecture Series
SFAI's Graduate Lecture Series (GLS) allows students to engage with emerging and established artists, curators, critics, and historians working in both local and global art communities. As an investigation of the contemporary issues relevant to students' full education and experience, GLS gives the entire graduate body a common interdisciplinary foundation. It also plays a crucial role in defining individual praxis and the meanings of "success" within the current and future landscape of contemporary art. In addition, students have the opportunity to meet with some of the guests for individual critiques, small group colloquia, and informal gatherings after the lectures.
All GLS lectures begin at 4:30 pm on Fridays in the Lecture Hall on SFAI's 800 Chestnut Street campus. For a complete schedule of SFAI's lectures and events, please visit www.sfai.edu/events

2014 MINI Cars
The MINI Cooper might be the UK's most iconic export, but the MINI brand is currently owned by German luxury car maker BMW. With their Cooper, Clubman, Coupe, Cabriolet, Paceman and Countryman small cars, MINI offers a little something for everyone.
MINI re-introduced their vehicles in the United States in 2002 after a decades long absence, and received a warm reception from consumers and critics alike. A more powerful Cooper S was also available, followed by a convertible in 2005. An extended length version, dubbed the Clubman arrived in 2008. A four-door version, known as the Countryman, arrived in late 2010 offering a more practical alternative, and all-wheel drive.

After a guardianship hearing on October 3rd, "a judge determined the allegations that Ariel was being physically and emotionally abused by her mother were serious enough that the judge placed Ariel in a temporary guardianship with her older sister Shanelle Workman," reports TMZ, adding that the actress' mother must also stay at least 100 yards away from her daughter.
But Workman denies any allegations of abuse, telling People magazine, "It's all untrue, it's all untrue."
According to court papers filed in Los Angeles, Winter claims her mother subjected her to "ongoing physical abuse (slapping, hitting, pushing) and emotional abuse (vile name-calling, personal insults about minor and minor's weight, attempts to 'sexualize' minor, deprivation of food, etc.) for an extended period of time."
Workman denies the allegations, telling People, "I have my doctor's letter that my daughter's never been abused. … I have stylists' letters that she's never been abused."
But TMZ has also learned that a similar situation occurred nearly 20 years ago when Ariel's sister, Shanelle, was removed from her mother's care by the Department of Children and Family Services following similar abuse allegations.
Shanelle was reportedly in foster care for two years and never went back to live with her mother.
Ariel is currently in Shanelle's care until the next hearing on November 20.

I have a few different jobs—writer, cooking instructor—but on my best days, I am the On-Set Assistant for a little show you might know: Paula's Best Dishes. I scramble around for everything from orange zest and orange drinking straws to whitefish and white lace. And if The Lady wants more butter, I get her more butter!
But I'm not the only one hustling; during filming there are usually 20 to 30 people running around at top speed trying to make the magic of seamless television. You know what they say about laws and sausages? It's best if you don't see how they're made! Television shows are about the same! And all this in Savannah, Georgia? Let's just say that on a smoking hot August day it is hard to keep enough coolers full of bottled water…and the empty bottles start to pile up.
Last September, we were all gearing up for another busy shoot, rigging the lights and sharpening the knives, when Libbie—my boss, Head Food Stylist and Senior Food Editor here at PaulaDeen.com—came in with a tub full of brand new reusable water bottles and a proclamation. "The Lady's going green!" After seeing all the wasted water bottles, Paula decided to make a change. No more bottled water. She installed water coolers on the set and provided a reusable bottle for each crew member.
And that wasn't the only change. Some people say less is more? With Paula, more is more. Everything needed to be green! In the house, recycling bins popped up around every corner. In the kitchen sustainable seafood became a must, produce should be local and—as much as possible—from Paula's garden. In addition, all of the leftover food (and there is a lot) goes straight to a local boys and girls home just down the road.
Trim fat from the food? We wouldn't dare! But we now have a leaner, greener show thanks to our favorite Southern lady.
My husband is the Marketing Director for Kinetico Water systems. They make an incredible non electric water filter that provides pure, unpolluted water. I'm sure they would work with Paula to install a filter so y'all have the purest and most environmentally friendly water available! Go to Kinetico.com or their facebook page and message them and he would be happy to help. We adore Paula and you all do a great job on the show!
By joy on April 23, 2011
She didn't use a reuseable water bottle at her show in Buffalo, neither did Joe the cook or her guest. or the audience(that would be difficult) i recyle all of the products I can..and did use a water machine for years thinking of going back to one but the bottles are very heavy to lift will have to get the 3 gallon ones.. Glad she is following the greenier way !!!!!!
By cheryl haff on April 22, 2011
Paula, you prove over and over that you are one classy Lady! What a fantastic role model for strong women! Thank you!
By Karen Williams on April 22, 2011
Hey Paula
Just wanted to shout out a big hello. Being from Savannah myself and have visited your restaurant many times loved it! And love the fact that you have gone green. Keep it up. Oh yea, just ordered your Savannah Style cook book. Can't wait to get it.

Have been recycling for over 10 years, purchased energy saving appliances replacing old worn out ones,composting, and living in Fla. - I hang out laundry most of the time. The smell is incredible and so simple. We recently put on a metal roof and now replacing windows with energy saving features plus forgot to mention many fruit trees and a garden my husband put in. Would like to use solar but, for now the intial expense is way too high. Replaced lightbulbs with the energy efficient ones and constantly aware of the environment.

Paula is one great wonder to me. I am the same age as her, we were born same year, my birthday is March, and it is amazing to me all that she does. And in addition to all of the work for the shows, the traveling, she still cares about saving our earth for the next generations. I just think we are lucky to have Paula in our lives, I know I am. She is such an inspiration.

EYEWITNESS LOCAL NEWSState Police Say Man, Woman Face Drug Charges In Logan County
from Eyewitness News Online
Reported: Mar. 31, 2014 5:11 PM EDT
BLAIR, W.Va. (Jeff Morris) – State Police said a man and a woman face drug charges after troopers found drug paraphernalia, suspected marijuana and controlled substances at a Logan County residence in the community of Blair.
Joe Stephens, 50, of Ottawa and Carleen Ferrell, 37, were charged Saturday, according to criminal complaints filed in Logan County Magistrate Court. Stephens is charged with possession with intent, conspire to commit a felony, being a felon in possession of a firearm and child neglect. Ferrell is charged with possession with intent and conspire to commit a felony.
State Police said they went to the community of Blair to assist Child Protective Services at a residence where Stephens and Ferrell were staying. The complaint said the officer saw drug paraphernalia beside the living room couch and located several clear plastic bags containing a green leafy substance believed to be marijuana. Several pill bottles containing controlled substances and a weighing scale also were discovered, the complaint said.

Although New Jersey has the second-lowest suicide rate in the nation, a new hotline has received roughly 300 calls since it was launched May 1, according to Philly.com.
New Jersey's suicide rate for people ages 35 to 64 increased 31 percent from 1999 to 2010, and as a result the New Jersey Department of Human Services spent $648,981 to create NJHOPELINE, Philly.com reported.
Officials have expressed concerns of the emotional impact the stress related to damage and losses from Hurricane Sandy has had and will continue to have, according to Philly.com.
Operated by University Behavioral HealthCare at the University of Medicine and Dentistry, the hotline only uses New Jersey-based trained volunteers and professional counselors.
The service is available 24/7, and callers are connected to a live volunteer.
Those in need of trained counselors can call NJHOPELINE or 855-654-6735.

An Assembly committee made short work of a bill repealing Nevada's threat to leave the bistate Tahoe Compact.
SB229 cleared the Assembly Government Affairs Committee on a unanimous vote Thursday. It now goes the floor.
The bill repeals a law passed by the 2011 Legislature that paved the way for Nevada to exit the Tahoe Compact created in the late 1960s to regulate development and oversee environmental controls in the Tahoe Basin that straddles Nevada and California.
Swift action on the bill came after Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval and California Gov. Jerry Brown announced an agreement to protect Lake Tahoe's delicate ecosystem while also considering the economy when making land use decisions.

Fantastic! I love the fit of this top (I typically wear a small - size 6). It was an accurate fit and very flattering. I would recommend it! August 10, 2014
I am wondering if the sizing changed in the last few years?! I bought a size small years ago that fits me well. I recently purchased an extra small and am noticing that it appears as though the cup size has increased. I am small chested and this top makes it appear that there are 2 points sticking out in the bust area. I am going to exchange the extra small for the small and hope it fits the way the old one does??! August 7, 2014
I am not fond of the twist part Love the color,..ordered bahia blue. I prefer a bandeau top that does not twist. I prefer the shirred or front gathered type. I will keep this because I need this color to go with the skirt I bought, but would have preferred slightly different detail. I am small chested and this flatters pretty well. In other brands I order small,....definitely glad I ordered XS. June 10, 2014
Great Bikini Top Finally a QUALITY bikini top. You can just tell it is made well as soon as you touch it. The fabric is great quality and you know it won't fall apart after a lot of wear. It comes with a strap so you can wear it with or without. You won't be disappointed! I got two different bottoms to go with it and they were both great as well. May 18, 2014
Super comfortable and the color is very nice. Ordered a Med. at first and was too big. Definitely not true to size. May 2, 2014
Quality product but just didn't provide enough support for me Loved the quality of the fabric but felt that it didn't provide enough support (lift) for me being 36D. Maybe if there was an underwire I would have felt differently. I would still would recommend this product. February 26, 2014
Favourite bikini top ever I have come back to buy this style a number of times. This top has good structure and provides comfortable support. Very flattering. January 31, 2014
No support I tried this top in both small and medium but neither seemed supportive enough. The small did not cover the bottom of my boobs and the medium seemed like I could not get It tight enough so worried it may bounce off If I was chasing 2 year old around pool. January 18, 2014

The Treatment Episode Data Set (TEDS) is an annual compilation of data on the substance abuse problems of those admitted for substance abuse treatment. The new study, "Trends in Marijuana Admissions by State: 1992-2002," shows admissions to treatment for primary marijuana abuse rose in 41 states. Admission rates are calculated per 100,000 population ages 12 and older in a state.
"Marijuana is not a harmless substance, and these treatment trends emphasize that point," SAMHSA Administrator Charles Curie noted. "It is time for parents and young adults to understand that marijuana is dangerous and it should be shunned for the illegal substance it is."
The number of marijuana admissions to treatment per year more than tripled in the 1992-2002 time period. Marijuana admissions increased from six percent to 15 percent of all admissions. In 1992 admissions to treatment for marijuana were at a national rate of 45 admissions per 100,000 population ages 12 and older. In 26 states, the rate was less than 50 per 100,000 population.
By 1997 the rate of treatment admissions for marijuana abuse more than doubled to 93 admissions per 100,000 persons ages 12 or older. In 2002, the treatment admission rate for marijuana abuse had risen to 118 admissions per 100,000 persons ages 12 or older. Six states had admission rates less than 50 per 100,000 and 21 states had rates of 139 or more per 100,000 population.
The report is available online.

"This was such a lovely card! This year our family decided to send a new years card instead of a Christmas one. I'm so glad we did - we received lots of compliments - the faux glitter effect was fun and I loved being able to choose between different accent colors (Black or red). The card is a great weight, as are the envelopes. They arrived quickly - I couldn't be happier."
"I loved the design of this card and the images online are great representations of the actual. We went with the shimmer paper which added a nice touch. The printing was also well done. The color of my chosen image appeared as I expected. I am very happy with this product."
"Y'all did an amazing job on our cards! I could not believe How fast they got to me as we'll! The quality Is awesome too! I was so proud to send them to My friends and family! I am impressed with Tiny Prints And I will be using them ALOT!!! :)"
"Had second thoughts but when the card came it was absolutely beautiful. The pictures are a good size and they allowed me to showcase my 2 children and all their activities. My only complaint is that the box for my christmas 'letter' was a little small. The card stock is very thick and luxurious and made an impact when delivered. Everyone thought that the card was stunning. This is my third christmas with tiny prints and always wonder if they can get better. Every card has been different from the other and they have never failed to impress. thanks!"
"I couldn't have been happier with the cards. (Took our family photo on a Sunday and received the cards on Tues.) The quality of the photo was excellent along with the paper the cards were printed on. It's also nice to have options with not only the layout but the desigh of the card itself. I chose a design that was 20 cents extra per card but it was worth it. Also, be aware of extra postage which is always stated. Being in such a hurry I missed that minor detail but again I was so happy to have cards that the extra postage was no big deal."

it takes a village
A couple months back I received a text. David Bazan was playing in the background and adding to my moodiness. I was tired and overwhelmed, working night shift and trying to figure out a way to cut back on work and get Owen in preschool instead of daycare. Then I received this text from my new mom friend, "Oh Man! It would be so awesome to have you in preschool. I can always help with pick ups and stuff, you know it takes a village."
Well poke me in the eye and call me an idiot. Tears are streaming down my face. For the first time in my parenting life it has dawned on me; I am on an island, and I am drowning. Obviously we have chosen to live away from some pretty terrific grandparents, but it is not an intention to be far from them; we just love the city we live in. It's not that we don't have great friends, we do. It's not that they aren't helpful, they are. It has absolutely nothing to do with them. Except, come on people, can you please make some babies by now?
Truthfully, I think it has been me all along; afraid of asking for help and seeking out other mothers. I was afraid, or judgmental or proud or something that is difficult to name. Maybe it was just the fatigue and exhaustion of raising small kids, kids that are now growing up and thankfully, the fog is lifting. I am getting involved in school. I am cutting back my hours at work, and most importantly, I am making myself talk to other mothers and make a connection. Fuck shyness. I'll leave that for the birds. Notably, not even the birds are shy here in Seattle. Touche birds, touche.
Overwhelmed with gratitude and thankfulness, I sat and cried for awhile. So this is what it feels like to have support. Like you heart could burst with gratitude. Like you can manage all twelvehundredandfiftytwothousandtasksbeforeyou. At the time this happened Addy had a weekly soccer practice, but we couldn't take her there, so our friends did. They are taking my kid home afterward, after a long day and letting her hang out there for over an hour, every single week. Maybe that's not a big deal to some people, but it is a HUGE deal to me. I struggle with it every week; I feel guilty and I get anxious if I am 5 minutes late, which I always am. But really, I don't think they mind, and they would do it for any kid. Because IT TAKES A VILLAGE. There is a saying for a reason. We need community in life and we need support and I am learning how to accept that and welcome it.

Yes!!! Wish I could village with you, but couldn't make it here without friends helping each other out ALL the time. So glad you have found that.

Florida brings Scottie Wilbeken to the Final Four with its championship hopes. Kentucky has Julius Randle, Wisconsin features Frank Kaminsky, and Connecticut will be a tough out as long as Shabazz Napier has the ball.
Chances are that one of those players will be the tournament's Most Valuable Player and the person everyone is talking about. Let's just hope the buzz after Monday night's championship isn't about Doug Shows or John Higgins or any of the eight other officials selected by the NCAA to officiate the tournament.
If that's the case, it means a controversial call determined the 2014 champion, not a player who made an exceptional offensive or defensive play.
This year's tournament - especially last weekend's games - shows once again that basketball is a tough game to officiate.
Criticism of the officials' recent work has been harsh. One writer panned them for "tarnishing" March Madness, another said "the refs ruined the end of a thriller," and a third described the men in the striped shirts as the NCAA's "uncertainty factor."
The skill and ability of today's collegians, blended with exceptional size and strength, have young men doing things that would have been thought impossible not long ago. Add to that new rules and "points of emphasis" in the rule book -- let alone the use of technology to review plays -- and players, coaches and officials must manage a sport that at times seems unmanageable.
Several critical calls in the Sweet 16 had fans protesting. In the Arizona -Wisconsin showdown in the West regional, referee Tony Greene called a Wildcats player for charging with 3.2 seconds to play in overtime with Wisconsin leading 64-63.
That was followed by a disputed out-of-bounds play. At question was whether Arizona would get a chance at a game-winning shot. After an interminable delay - one that approached five minutes as officials reviewed the replays - the original call was reversed and the ball awarded to Arizona. The Wildcats mishandled a basic inbounds play and didn't get off a shot before the horn sounded.
After almost 45 minutes of action, the difference between victory and defeat rested with a referee's call.
Disputes have been common in the tournament. Tennessee appeared on the verge of an amazing, come-from-behind upset against Michigan when a late-game charging call went against the Volunteers and bailed out the Wolverines. Louisville fans still have a hard time accepting three soft fouls called on their big man, Montrezl Harrell, against Kentucky.
Calls will always be disputed. What clearly looks like a charge to one fan is obviously blocking to another. People understand that. What's difficult to accept is inconsistency by those with the whistles.
In an attempt to inject more scoring into the game, officials began the 2013-14 season by calling fouls on defenders who used their hands to impede offensive players from driving toward the basket. That led to more fouls and more scoring. It worked until conference play picked up and the strict interpretation was relaxed.
Then complaints grew when contact on the perimeter was called one way while banging closer to the basket was permitted. Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim became so incensed that he picked up two technicals and was ejected from a late-season game against Duke.
Officiating big-time college basketball is an inexact science. Referees are charged with managing a game designed with grace and skill in mind but played by burly men who see it as war. Theirs is a thankless job for which they receive a little money and a lot of abuse.
But losing is tough on coaches and players - especially when championships are at stake.
Arizona coach Sean Miller could only think about what might have been after the Wisconsin loss, reflecting on a close call that went against his team.
"I thought it was a really, really tough call," he said. "I'm going to stop there. I've already been fined."

The U.S. Army Professional Writing
Collection draws from a variety of professional
journals that focus on relevant issues affecting The Army. The views
expressed are those of the author and do not represent the official
position of the Army. This micro-site seeks to stimulate innovative
thinking about the challenges that may face tomorrow's Army. It
is further intended that the articles featured on this site cause
reflection, increased dialogue within the Army Community, and in
the best case, action by Soldiers. Updated monthly, these articles
are written by Soldiers, civilians, academics, and other subject
matter experts. Links to various Army publications, Department of
Defense journals and selected non-governmental defense-related publications
are also provided on this site.
the past two years, senior defense leaders have been calling
for something unusual and unexpected—cultural knowledge
of the adversary. Why has cultural knowledge suddenly become
such an imperative? Primarily, because traditional methods
of warfighting have proven inadequate both in Iraq and in
Afghanistan. U.S. technology, training and doctrine designed
to counter the Soviet threat are not designed for low-intensity
counterinsurgency operations where civilians mingle freely
with combatants in complex urban terrain. Countering the insurgency
in Iraq requires cultural and social knowledge of the adversary.
Yet, none of the elements of U.S. national power—diplomatic,
military, intelligence, or economic—explicitly take
adversary culture into account in the formation or execution
of policy. This cultural knowledge gap has a simple cause—the
almost total absence of anthropology knowledge and applications
within the national-security establishment. Despite the fact
that military applications of cultural knowledge might be
distasteful to ethically inclined anthropologists, their assistance
is necessary.
no element of the current conflict in Iraq engenders more
emotion and acrimony within the military than debate concerning
the role and influence of the news media on public opinion
and national policy. Historically, contention over the issue
of media influence has become particularly acute when the
policies of the administration executing the conflict are
perceived as being either too slow or failing to achieve their
political objectives at the cost of mounting casualties. Under
such circumstances, critics of the press have been predictable
in accusing the media of editorial bias that undermines public
support for military operations, while most reporters have
been equally predictable in countering that they are just
faithfully reporting what they observe. The best "information
operations" campaign aimed at engendering domestic psychological
support as well as demoralizing and defeating adversaries
is an aggressive policy reflected in bold battlefield operations
and commensurate administrative supporting actions to achieve
clear and specific political and military objectives.
U.S. military has sustained many casualties since the end
of major combat operations in Iraq. Since the enemy chooses
to remain formless, U.S. Soldiers are much more likely to
capture good lessons and tactics that can be shared across
units than the enemy is. For the enemy to remain hidden, he
must also remain isolated. This precludes the free and easy
exchange of information that will allow mastery of certain
weapons and procedures. This ability to train and learn is
an advantage the coalition has and should deny the enemy.
Since the enemy in Iraq has elected to continue to fight rather
than lay down his weapons, we must conclude that he currently
views the situation unfavorably. Coalition commanders using
defensive measures with nationbuilding and offensive capabilities
wisely can keep the enemy off balance, remove havens for rest
and training and force the enemy into more risky encounters.
By forcing the war to escalate to conditions the enemy cannot
match, the coalition will cause the enemy to engage and be
destroyed or to capitulate.

Natural Hero's rubs and sprays are not only used by active people themselves, but they are also used in clinic and are made available to physio clients in a number of physiotherapy clinics throughout the UK.
Used as part of physiotherapists' recovery regimes and sports massage treatments, what do Natural Hero's rubs and sprays offer and how do they work?
Delivering topical warming and cooling actions to help alleviate the symptoms of post-exercise discomfort and muscle fatigue the products have a natural base so are easily absorbed and non greasy which is helpful not only to the recipient of the physio treatment but also to the therapist.
Natural Hero's first physiotherapy partner, Connect, who was involved in the product trialling in-clinic and pitch side say:
"Having tested the products in clinic and pitch-side, the team we treated enjoy the slow release of heat and report feeling looser and more relaxed after use.
The cold spray delivers a cool blast and reviving smell of peppermint in-use, followed by a pleasant sensation that helps ease muscle fatigue.
The two products offer different sports recovery options - the heat rub lends itself better to muscle massage techniques and the spray can be used to revive during and post exercise as it dries very quickly."
Sports Injury Physiotherapist, Connect Physical Health
How do Natural Hero products work?
Using over 98% natural ingredients, the cooling and warming effects of Natural Hero products are down to their blend of active botanicals known as rubefacients, which provide soothing cooling and warming sensations to the skin.
What are rubefacients?
Both hot and cold sensates can feel pleasant on the skin and can provide pain relief from musculoskeletal pain. This is due to their action as rubefacients or counter-irritants. They are all powerful stimulants. Some have a 'warming' effect and others a 'cooling' effect.
How do rubefacients work?
Rubefacient herbs are a class of botanicals which have a unique effect on the body when applied to the skin. The mechanism for their waming and cooling action goes beyond simply 'taking the mind off' the pain. It is now thought that couner-irritation acts to suppress pain at the spinal cord level in accordance with 'gate-control theory', the same mechanism by which TENS is thought to act.
Rubefacients stimulate the dilation of capillaries. Blood is drawn from deep within the body, increasing circulation around the treated area and speeding the healing process. This form of treatment is good for treating the pain due to minor injuries, such as muscle sprains and soreness. It is also beneficial for arthritic pain.
What is in them?
Each of the products is blended with betwen 4-6 rubefacient plant extracts, providing formulations that deliver powerful cooling and warming actions. In developing the products, Natural Hero worked with Connect Sports Physios as well as plant scientists and professional formulators, to ensure the blend of rubefacients and the overall formulation is functional as well as effective.
The base of both the Cool Peppermint Muscle Spritz & Hot Ginger Muscle Rub contain over 98% natural ingredients, which are non-greasy and easily absorbed as well as pH balanced and skin conditioning, which means open pores and no greasy residue after treatment. They also contain no Parabens, SLS or petrochemicals.
Given Natural Hero's cosmetic level formulation, it is very unlikely that either of the products would react with a user's medication if the products are used as intended.
