Jennifer Lawrence Fell Over At The Oscars Because She Was Thinking About Cake #Amazing
We're gonna be honest with you guys and admit that we've made a lot of mistakes in our lives, and we're not ashamed to say that about 86% of them have been cake-related errors. Don't ask us why, it just always seems to work out that way.
So it makes us feel a little better that the one and only Jennifer Lawrence, has admitted that her oops moment of tripping up the stairs while collecting her Oscar, was also caused because she was thinking about cake. Amazing.
Proving that she is officially the best, Jen confessed to W magazine that even at the most important moment of her life as she headed up to collect her Best Actress Award for Silver Linings Playbook, she couldn't help but be distracted by thoughts of cakey goodness.
Revealing that it wasn't just the poofy dress to blame, Jen said: "I was at the Oscars, waiting to hear if my name was called, and I kept thinking, Cakewalk, cakewalk, cakewalk. I thought, Why is 'cakewalk' stuck in my head?"
"And then, as I started to walk up the stairs and the fabric from my dress tucked under my feet, I realized my stylist had told me, 'Kick, walk, kick, walk.' You are supposed to kick the dress out while you walk, and I totally forgot because I was thinking about cake! And that's why I fell."
J-Law is a girl after our own hearts—and a slice of yummy chocolate cake!
What do you think of Jennifer Lawrence's cake confession? Have you ever experienced a totally embarrassing moment like her big trip? How did you handle it? Sound off in the comments below!

Selena Gomez Slams Fan For Bullying Comment On Instagram
If you needed any more proof that Selena Gomez is totally awesome, she's gone and stood up to an Internet bully on Instagram—and then reached out to the victim of the harsh comments.
Selena intervened after one of her followers urged another to self harm in the comments section of a photo, telling the bully: 'That's not what I stand for.'
Things started when a fan posted a picture of a scar on her arm. A second individual with the username 'selinagomesfan' commented: "Cut, cut, cut, cut!" prompting Selena to intervene, and demand the bully stop using her name in their handle.
"This is ridiculous," she wrote. "@selinagomesfan my fans don't do this to others. That's not what I stand for so you can gladly stop being a fan of me. I only encourage love, confidence, kindness."
Selena then reached out to the first fan, writing: "My love, you are gorgeous just the way you are. Don't you ever attempt that s**t again. Ok? I love you too much for you to be doing that."
She added: "Ps. To all of my fans, don't ever think this is fun to get attention. It's just wrong. I love you all just the way you are."
What do you think of Selena's move to help delete digital drama and take a stand against online bullying?

Rolling Stone selected Marnie Stern for the latest installment in their Young Guns series, which explores the most notable guitarists from the next generation of six-string legends.
Although known for her extensive use of fingertapping, the New York-based guitarist—who you may have seen on television sitting in with the house band on Late Night With Seth Meyers—tells RS she's been experimenting with new ways to shred while working on her fifth album.
"I've been using fingerpicking to texture the rhythmic parts of the songs," she explains. "I've been trying a little bit of sweeping. I've been building off different chord structures, playing in minors a little bit more."
Check out a live clip of Stern below and read the full article on rollingstone.com.

Kevin Davies won the Poetry Center Book Award in 2000 for Comp (Edge Books). Currently residing in Maine by way of Vancouver and New York, he often writes long, tumbling sequences that gather force like a dream landslide, with each part standing out as an idiosyncratic scene charged by an alluring voice, or stance, not quite like anything else in contemporary poetry. They work like a "lateral argument" (the name of one remarkable sequence, to be found at http://ca.geocities.com/alterra
@rogers.com/davies.htm), with a logic that seems particularly suited to the new structures of the globalized mess: endlessly connected, utterly fragmented. Rather than holding it all together in a false unity, Davies moves sharply among anxiety, wit, a perfect perplexity over the world's strangeness, and a disturbed, irresistible turn toward the future. Joshua Clover
[from The One-Eyed Seller of Garlic]
Yet even as we grope
each other in this small stall another
language dies
And miniaturization proceeds
"apace"let me show you what I mean
We don't need
names we have gadgets
And a good fifteen minutes
before anyone comments on our absence
Relax I've got youthat's just
the blood
rushing to your head
And I have been here before, okay
not here, but here, with others
But never
you mind
Lack of comfortable space
is the whole point
I want you to strangle me and drag
me to a river
That leads ultimately to the open sea
And to sing
at the launch of the subsequent bookwork

On Saturday, Jan. 21 families and friends of Catholic schools across Long Island braved the freezing temperatures and icy conditions to rally in protest of the closings announced by the Diocese of Rockville Centre on Dec. 6. Families not only wanted to voice their opposition to the closings scheduled for the end of this school year, but rallied in support of Catholic school education in general. They pleaded for Bishop William Murphy and all Catholics in the Diocese to hear their concerns and understand that despite the threat of their schools closing, they do value and support the Catholic elementary school education.
Most of the rally crowd came from the six schools stated to close, along with St. Agnes parishioners who came out to show their support. The organizers of the rally reported more than 400 supporters turned out for the event.
In the original school-closing announcement Bishop Murphy said, "While these choices have not been easy and closing schools is one of the most painful parts of my ministry, I want to assure the parents and children that they are uppermost in my mind."
There are easier tasks than the one facing Kevan Abrahams. As a Nassau County Legislator, he will be grappling with the issues facing the cash strapped county and in particular will be deliberating on a budget which may call for more layoffs of county workers, reduction of services and changes for Nassau police precincts. As the Democratic Minority Leader in the legislature, he will be one of the more prominent figures as those discussions take place, a position that requires he walk a political tightrope as he leads the opposition to some of those proposals while also trying to get Republican County Executive Ed Mangano and the Republicans in control of the Legislature to give consideration to his party's suggestions and input. And, he will also do so while getting a feel for his new role as he has just taken over the position of the Minority Leader in the Legislature after being chosen by his party last November. Yet, despite all of this, there is a calmness and confidence about him as he takes this all on, something that he attributes to many years of experience in both politics and finance.
The Farmingdale 2035 Party has announced their candidates for the upcoming election. Current trustees, Ralph Ekstrand and William Barrett are on the ticket. Newcomer, and longtime village resident, Thomas Ryan is joining the team.
Ralph Ekstrand, a longtime resident of the Farmingdale community and village will run for mayor. The Farmingdale 2035 Party states, "His long-term experience and dedication to the town and people of the town have given him the experience for this position." Ekstrand has been the pharmacist at Moby Drugs for 31 years and has served on a number boards for various institutions, such as, the Eagle Scout Review Board, Chamber of Commerce, Rotary Club and The Farmingdale United Methodist Church. He has been the village trustee for the past four years and states that he "continues to strive for excellence on a daily basis."
On Friday night, Jan. 6, a blues/ rock band known as Black Honey, comprised of students of Farmingdale High School, a HS alumnus and a vocalist from Kentucky, performed an astounding benefit concert in honor of Jimmy Ossenfort.
Farmingdale and North Massapequa residents and students, as well as guests from all over Long Island, gathered at Farmingdale High School to raise money to help the Ossenfort Family. Twenty-two-year-old Jimmy Ossenfort suffered multiple, critical injuries as a result of a November 2011 motor vehicle accident.
The band members from Black Honey, Ryan Costello (lead guitar), Matthew Ferrara (rhythm guitar) Mark Morales (drums), Zack Reyes (bass) and Dakota Clayton (vocals) wanted to show their support for the Ossenfort family and decided to use their talents for a benefit concert for Jimmy. Black Honey rocked the house for almost two hours. Jimmy and the Gooch opened the show for Black Honey and the Wantagh-based band awed the audience with their unique sound of vocal harmonies and acoustic instruments.
On Thursday, Jan. 12, County Executive Edward Mangano announced the 'soft launch' of "Nassau Now," the County's newest mobile and web application for residents to use an iPhone, iPod, iPad, or Android smartphone or tablet to contact Nassau County directly. The government app features requests, events, information, news alerts, traffic advisories, and forms.
The system is up and operational; it is being monitored by system administrators to collect data about how the service is being used and tally the volume of inquiries being submitted through the new application. Mangano expects that there could be some 'bugs' to work out of the system within the initial 60 days, but is confident that this will streamline the process and eliminate a lot of liabilities resulting from nonemergency reports, such as a request for pothole repair. The county will assess the service in a couple of months and identify any issues with the software that need to be corrected.
Senator Charles J. Fuschillo, Jr., with the help of dozens of local schools and organizations helped put smiles on the faces of Winthrop Hospital's pediatric patients by delivering carloads of toys collected through the annual "Extend the Holidays" toy drive.
Representatives from the Nassau County Sheriff Officer's Association, Laborers Local 66, and Local 1298, all of whom participated in the program, joined Senator Fuschillo in delivering the toys to the hospital.
"Our members look forward to this event every year because it's a way to give back to the community, to give back to the kids, and to the less fortunate," said President of the Nassau County Sheriff Officers Association (NCSHOA) John Jaronczyk. The officers, more than 1,000 members of NCSHOA, run their individual toy drive throughout the month of December. They have been participating in cooperation with Senator Fuschillo's drive for more than five year.
In a scene that has become all-too-familiar to Massapequa area residents, another hero law enforcement agent was laid to rest last week.
On Friday, Jan. 6, a funeral was held for John F. Capano, a Massapequa resident and federal agent who died while trying to apprehend a robbery suspect at an incident in Seaford.
Trustee Ralph Ekstrand gave a brief introduction and reported that the organization is in conversation with the Village for the planning and preparations for bringing their world-class event to Farmingdale.
With the closing of the holiday season, also considered the season of giving, some can honestly say they have volunteered a significant amount of time and energy to those less fortunate then themselves. One local Farmingdale resident and philanthropist, Thomas Gubitosi, can describe himself as a giver; his compassion is laudable.
Gubitosi, a semi-retired stockbroker with a knack for charity, founded the Marie Gubitosi Foundation more than 12 years ago, after the death of his mother.
Renovations, Pearl Harbor ceremonies, and new additions are among some of the recent activities at Farmingdale's own American Airpower Museum. Located at Republic Airport, the Airpower Museum is home to war aircraft and vehicles dating back to World War II.
Gary Lewi of the Airpower Museum shared some of the exciting things coming up for the museum. "We are particularly proud of the exhibits," said Lewi. There are several aircraft already on display at the museum, ranging from bombers from WWII to fighter jets dating back to 1967. The Airpower Museum is continuing to strengthen their collection of operation armor to add to their aircraft and compliment the collections on display.

Jasmine Song, special to wtop.com
WASHINGTON - Known for it's bustling traffic and college night-life, U.S. Route 1 is no stranger to pedestrian accidents and officials are following through with some much-needed safety enhancements.
At a press conference last Monday, Maryland State Highway Administrator Melinda Peters met with University of Maryland President Wallace Loh, announcing a series of safety improvements and a public education campaign.
The pledges to improve the corridor's safety and changes already completed come in the wake of three fatal collisions involving pedestrians since January along this busy stretch of road in College Park.
"SHA is making engineering changes along U.S. 1 to enhance pedestrian safety and the university and county police are aggressively enforcing jaywalking, drunk driving and traffic laws," said Peters. "We remind drivers to be alert along U.S. 1, to follow the posted speed limit and stop for pedestrians."
The highway administration already made improvements including, reducing pedestrian wait times at "Walk/Don't Walk" signals and increasing how much time pedestrians have to cross the street. The state has also installed "Don't Cross" markings along Route 1 sidewalks and installed "State Law - Stop for Pedestrians in Crosswalks" signs between Paint Branch Parkway and Calvert Road.
According to university Police Chief David Mitchell, nearly 500 drunk drivers have been arrested within the past two years and police officials are continuing to monitor activity along the deadly stretch of road.
"SHA, Prince George's County (Department of Public Works), Prince George's County Police and University of Maryland personnel are working together on issues along U.S. 1 and have been doing so for decades," said David Buck, spokesman for the highway administration.
Earlier this month, a drunk driver killed a woman in a hit-and-run collision along the route - the third fatality involving a pedestrian this year. Three other pedestrians suffered minor injuries in similar collisions with vehicles.
Now, College Park and University Police say they will strictly enforce the new speed limit and will conduct sobriety checkpoints to combat further accidents in the area.
"The improvements will make a dramatic impact on the safety of Route 1 next to the University of Maryland," said Loh.
By August, the highway administration will reduce the speed limit on Route 1 from 30 mph to 25 mph. The changes will affect traffic from south of Guilford Road to Berwyn Road. The state also pledged to upgrade lights with brighter LED bulbs, install a fence between Knox and Hartwick roads, and upgrade pedestrian "Walk/Don't Walk" signals to display the time remaining to cross.
According to the highway administration, an overhead pedestrian signal at the intersection of Route 1 and Hartwick Road will be installed by the end of October. The signal will flash yellow for Route 1 traffic and flash red to Hartwick Road traffic. When a pedestrian pushes the walk button, the signal will turn to solid red in all directions to allow pedestrians to safely cross the road.
"It is only through a collaborative team approach between all parties that U.S. 1 will be safer for all users of the road," said Buck.
In addition to the engineering enhancements, the highway administration has worked with the university in a public education effort called "Walk Smart College Park." Part of this effort includes outreach to students on campus and outreach to businesses, restaurants and taverns along Route 1.
Last Tuesday, the College Park City Council unanimously passed College Park Mayor Andrew Fellows' proposal to enforce the new lower speed limit by expanding the times speed cameras operate to coincide with heavy periods of pedestrian traffic along Route 1 in downtown College Park.
"We're making it physically, structurally safer," said Loh. "However, that's not enough. We need the cooperation of pedestrians and drivers. It is the responsibility of all of us. Be smart. Be safe."

Verizon hopes to fight AT&T soon with genuinely unlimited calling and data plans, according to multiple reports. Beginning as early as Tuesday, the carrier is allegedly poised to offer several tiers that offer increasing amounts of unlimited service. A comparatively basic plan will start at $100 per month for unlimited calling in the US, without roaming charges; $120, $140, $150, and $170 plans will add messaging, V CAST video and VZ Navigator, e-mail, and ultimately international data to the plan. Family plans should also be available that maintain similar rates for each additional line.
Toshiba is reviewing whether or not it will continue the HD DVD format, the company said Monday morning in a public statement. The Japanese electronics firm neither confirmed nor denied claims by national broadcaster NHK that it would halt HD DVD production outright but has admitted that it is reconsidering its position on the HD movie disc standard. The comment is the first public acknowledgement by Toshiba that it may need to discontinue the format after a succession of key studio and retail losses.
Sprint today has quietly rolled two Samsung phones into its collection, including its first direct rival to AT&T's BlackJack II. The pictured ACE shares some of the body style of the earlier phone but is designed explicitly for world roaming: it includes both Sprint's native CDMA as well as GSM, allowing the phone to connect in Europe and other regions without swapping phones. The handset is 3G-capable on CDMA but is capped at 2G-level EDGE access abroad. Samsung also equips the phone with GPS for assisted navigation and a 1.3-megapixel camera. In Sprint trim, the phone sells for either $200 with a two-year contract or $450 without the commitment.

alterative to full heavy curtains
By titch
from King's Lynn, Norfolk
I decided to use these as an alternative to heavy curtains in my sitting room. I wanted to allow lots of light into the room and these panels (I have four) do the job well. Our garden is not overlooked so I wasn't too worried about privacy. If the sun is too bright I can close the panels but still have the warmth and light.

Weird Al Gets "Tacky"
by Mike Stanz
posted Jul 15 2014 5:00AM
Since it was released in the latter part of 2013, Pharrell's "Happy" has arguably been the most copied and parodized song and video of 2014.
So why did it take the King of Parody – Weird Al Yankovic – so long to come up with "Tacky?"
Here it is, eight months after the original's release, and Weird Al's just getting around to it?
But, according to the man himself, it's the first of eight videos in eight days from Weird Al's new album.
So stay tuned…

Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2015 Toyota Tundra Regular Cab
By KBB.com Editors
The Toyota Tundra, which debuted as an all-new (except for its name) 2007 model, matches or beats domestic full-size pickups in most size, performance and price measurements. For 2008, the Tundra lineup expands to include lower-priced variations of its four-door Double Cab and CrewMax models. Also, the mid-level SR5 and top-level Limited trims now come standard with several features that were previously optional. The U.S.-built Tundra features standard side airbags and electronic stability control and is the first full-sized pickup to earn the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's Top Safety Pick award. The Tundra competes directly with full-sized pickups from Chevrolet, Ford, Dodge, GMC and Nissan.
If you haul a lot of stuff and/or people, the Tundra is up for the job. Depending upon configuration, the payload can exceed one ton and towing capacity can reach 10,600 pounds. Pulling that load can be the available 5.7-liter V8 with 401 pound-feet of torque.
Those who enjoyed the more nimble, economical Toyota pickups of the past may find the 2008 Toyota Tundra far too large. The Tundra's size means it can be challenging to maneuver in tight situations and, understandably, it is not particularly fuel-efficient. Short people and older folks may have difficulty climbing up and into four-wheel-drive versions.
For 2008, the Toyota Tundra adds lower-cost trim packages for Double Cab and CrewMax, which are both four-door models. Also, some previously optional features are now standard on the mid-level SR5 and up-scale Limited trim levels.
Driving Impressions From the driver's seat, there's no mistaking the 2008 Toyota Tundra is a very big vehicle. The tall seating position makes it easy to see the highway ahead, but its...considerable size means the Tundra may require some concentration to keep it correctly positioned on narrow roads and in crowded parking lots. The available sonar warning system and backup camera will be welcome when parking, maneuvering off-road or connecting to a trailer. The Tundra offers excellent steering feel and a better highway ride than some of its competitors. This is thanks in part to its frame, which has a stiff fully-boxed front section, partially-boxed C-channel under the passenger compartment and more flexible open C-channel below the bed. The optional 381-horsepower 5.7-liter V8 will easily and comfortably accelerate an unloaded Tundra into fast-moving traffic.
Comprehensive Accessories
Toyota offers a comprehensive assortment of more than three dozen dealer-installed items, including exterior and interior trim upgrades, cargo-bed accessories and performance and handling enhancements from Toyota's performance brand, TRD.
i-Force 5.7-liter V8
The Tundra's optional i-Force 5.7-liter V8 makes 105 more horsepower than the also-optional 4.7-liter V8, yet, with the technology of variable valve timing and the benefits of a six-speed automatic transmission, almost matches the fuel economy of the standard V6. Both the engine and transmission are built in the U.S.
Big jobs can call for several big people and lots of stuff. Four-door versions of the 2008 Toyota Tundra accommodate up to six adults and have numerous storage areas and work surfaces. The Double Cab's non-adjustable rear seatback has more rearward inclination than those in most similar pickukps. Still, some may find it a bit too upright for long road trips. The rear seat in the larger four-door CrewMax is adjustable both for fore-aft positioning and seatback inclination. However, it doesn't enjoy the same ability to be quickly folded up as the rear seat in the Double Cab.
The 2008 Toyota Tundra projects the assertive image that buyers of full-size pickups desire. Its tall grille and hood and pronounced front fenders make it as imposing as any big truck. However, it retains its Toyota identity. A longer cab, larger rear doors and a shorter bed distinguish the CrewMax from the Double Cab. For 2008, Toyota gives the lowest-cost version of the two-door Regular Cab model styling more consistent with that of a work truck. Elements include a chrome bumper and matte-black grille surround.
For 2008, some previously optional equipment is now standard on SR5 and Limited trim levels of four-door models. New standard equipment on the SR5 trim of the Double Cab and CrewMax includes power front seats, AM/FM stereo with six-disc CD changer and heated outside mirrors. The Limited trim level now includes front and rear parking sonar and a cold-weather package. With 236-horsepower, the standard 4.0-liter V6 is more powerful than many V8s of the recent past. Only those who regularly haul massive loads and tow large trailers will truly miss the extra power of the optional V8s.
Most optional equipment on the 2008 Toyota Tundra is packaged into either the mid-level SR5 or the up-scale Limited trims. One significant stand-alone option is a bundle that includes a DVD-based satellite navigation system, backup camera and a JBL audio system. The two-door Regular Cab and four-door Double Cab are available in two bed lengths -- six-and-a-half and eight feet -- while the CrewMax has a five-and-half-foot bed. The Tundra offers a long list of dealer-installable accessories. These include remote engine start, 22-inch wheels, bed extender and numerous TRD items.
The 2008 Toyota Tundra offers three engine choices: The standard 236-horsepower 4.0-liter V6, a 276-horsepower 4.7-liter V8 or the 381-horsepower 5.7-liter V8. The first two come with five-speed automatic transmissions, while the 5.7-liter is mated to a six-speed automatic. Since the 5.7-liter makes 105 horsepower more than the 4.7-liter and gets almost the same fuel mileage as the V6, the vast majority of Tundra buyers select the big engine. Toyota employed several technologies to allow the 5.7-liter V8 to produce both big power and reasonable economy. Variable valve timing optimizes engine performance for changing conditions and demands, and the six-speed automatic transmission employs a low first gear to aid low-speed acceleration and two overdrive gears to maximize highway economy.

"These vehicles have a design flaw 2010-2013 models. The seals blow out prematurely on the power steering racks which they changed design/vendors in 2010. Mine just went out at 62k miles and it is $3100 to fix--I looked it up and there are numerous reports of this same problem. It is widespread and systemic. Toyota has done nothing to remedy the situation."

"This is my second pick up truck. The first one was a Ford, good truck but had to trade it in for a family car. I was in the market for a pick up truck again in 2011 and my first instinct was to go with Ford. Fortunately, Ford did not have what I wanted (low inventory). Went to test drive the Tundra and was quite surprised at the ride. I decided this was the truck I want and closed the deal."

"I bought the Tundra new and have enjoyed driving it. I use it mostly for commuting, but it has seen plenty of use hauling lumber, drywall, dirt and gravel. The truck still looks great after six years and I plan on keeping it for several more years. Here are the low points/concerns: 1. Front brake discs look sturdy, but they still warped after only 22,000 miles. I had them turned and installed new pads, but that only bought me another 10,000 miles. I upgraded to after market, grooved rotors and get better braking performance with no issues after almost 30,000 miles of use 2. Front bearings rusted and needed replacing at about 45000 miles. The dealer did the work for free, but COME ON TOYOTA, what gives? 3. Seems to be a frequent issue in that the Anti Pollution pump failed at 55,000 miles. Once more, the dealer did the work free of charge; good thing because the darn parts cost about $2000. Things like the bearings and the pump concern me about keeping the vehicle for the long term as they're now out of warranty, but I'm going to stick with the truck for now"

Pros: "Power and Torque"
Cons: "Feeding the kitty"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 9
"This is a strong truck and not for little girls. A lot of torque and 381 horses to match. Don't be fooled, it likes to drink (gasoline) but if you want power, comfort, reliability, and power (I know I said it twice), this is a truck for you. Be careful; black, scratches easily and shows dirt readily, but it is beautiful when it is clean and freshly waxed. This truck rides well and is comfortable in the two front bucket seats. The radio (JBL) cranks and the memory stick interface lets you put your own music into the system seamlessly (on a memory stick- MP3). The back seating area has plenty of room (even at 6'5) and your knees don't touch the back of the front seat."

UPDATE: Warrant Issued For Woman in Moraine Homicide; Kids Found Safe
MORAINE -- Police and several Montgomery County Sheriff's deputies are actively searching Monday night for a suspected murderer.
They served a second search warrant at a home on the corner of Myron and Brunswick avenues in Trotwood.
Police have been searching for Chantell Spears since early Sunday morning after they say she stabbed her boyfriend, 32-year-old Delshaun Jones, in the chest. He later died at the hospital.
Officers became concerned about Spears' 7-month-old son, Delshaun Jones Jr. They found him with a family member a few hours after they started searching.
Police tell us the family members either don't know where she is or won't say, and were hoping to find more evidence at the home on Myron.
"We located additional information throughout the day that lead us to believe that there might be some additional evidence here at the home," said Moraine Police Sgt. Craig Richardson.
If you've seen Spears or know where she is call Moraine Police at 937-535-1166.
Earlier coverage:
MORAINE -- The Montgomery County Prosecutors Office has issued an arrest warrant for Chantell Spears for the murder of Delshaun Jones.
There has been growing concern for the whereabouts of her children, including 7-month-old Delshaun Jones Jr. Chantell Spears fled the scene of the murder and is still at large.
Please call Moraine Police Dispatch at 937-535-1166 with any information on the whereabouts of Spears or the children.
Earlier coverage:
MORAINE -- Police say Chantell Spears is wanted after her boyfriend was found stabbed on the sidewalk outside of a home on Charlotte Mill Drive in Moraine.
The Coroner's Office identified the victim as Delshaun Jones, 32, of Trotwood. The coroner's office completed the autopsy, but police asked them not to release the official cause of death.
Police say Jones was found stabbed around 5:30 Sunday morning. He was rushed to the hospital but later died. It is still unclear where Jones was actually stabbed, but detectives spent all day at the home collecting evidence.
Police say if anyone knows were Spears may be, call them.

While taking efforts to establish more universities in the country with Fully Flexible Credit System to take higher education to the hitherto unreached population, colleges with potential should also be upgraded to universities, Chancellor of Vellore Institute of Technology G. Viswanathan has said.
Speaking to reporters here on Sunday, he said that even after the National Knowledge Commission in 2006 had recommended establishing of 1,500 more universities in the country before 2015, only 40 universities had been formed till 2010.
As 30 to 35 per cent of the Indian population would be youths in the next two decades, the country should be in a position to provide quality higher education at an affordable cost to all of them so that the working force to be generated would be vibrant.
Towards achieving this goal, the governments, which were unable to allocate six per cent of budget for education, should invite industrialists and the rich to establish universities to take higher education to all.
Moreover, the Union Ministry of Human Resources should introduce Fully Flexible Credit System (FFCS) to enable students to have higher education in the universities of their choice even before completing their course. And it would pave way for transferable credit system from one university to the other.
While supporting the concept of upgrading the colleges with immense potential for growth into unitary universities, Mr. Viswanathan said that it would ensure better infrastructure facilities after the upgrading of such institutions and the students would be given an opportunity to get exposed to the modern teaching - learning methods. He said the fears of the teachers protesting against this move were totally unwarranted.
"Affiliation must go"
The former Minister for Food, Cooperation and Dairy Development said that the concept of affiliation to the universities should also go as the colleges could not do anything on their own to upgrade even their syllabus as per needs.
"Only autonomous colleges alone can revise the syllabus in the present scenario and hence the system of affiliation to the universities should go. We need progressive reforms in the field of education also as we saw after liberalisation, privatisation and globalisation," Mr. Viswanathan said while appealing to the media to expose corruption in the field of education.

Far fewer 20 year olds are predicted to marry than the previous generation; only 52 per cent of 20 year olds compared to 68 per cent of 40 year olds.
"To make that pledge in front of a posse of friends and family is particularly binding. Such vows are not broken lightly."
Latest data shows the UK has the highest rate of family breakdown in Western Europe. Figures calculated by Eurostat, the EU's primary statistics body, and uncovered by The Marriage Foundation show that, for the first time, the UK has the highest proporti...
Marriage Foundation welcomes the Prime Minister's support for the family but warns that without explicit support for marriage, the new initiatives will have little or no impact on family breakdown.
It is often assumed that second marriages are riskier than first marriages - "The triumph of hope over experience" as popularised by Samuel Johnson in 1791. A new analysis of data commissioned from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) challenges this assumption. In fact, second marriages overall do consistently better than first marriages. Where one or both spouses are marrying for the second time, couples marrying today face an estimated 31% risk of divorce during their lifetime, compared to an estimated 45% risk of divorce amongst couples where both spouses are marrying for the first time.

How to make a submission to Redhammer
Experience has taught me that although you may think your very first manuscript is ready for prime time – it probably isn't.
The truth is, most of the submissions sent to literary agents need a lot more elbow grease, care and love.
So what can you do?
Well, that's why I set up Litopia, the net's original community for writers. The intention was to create a unique place where writers can be supported and their craft honed. It's free to join, and in my view, it should be your first destination when taking your first steps into the publishing world.
The atmosphere in Litopia is very collegiate. It is a place where friendships are forged and excellence in writing is encouraged.
And you can develop your work there in what we term The Houses. Many writers have affectionate feelings about Litopia, and owe much to its unique method of literary critiquing.
Join it, and you'll see.
Once your work is ready – really ready – then you can submit to Redhammer using the form below. Here is a summary of frequently-asked questions.
Do you accept non-fiction as well as fiction?
Yes, I'm always keen to see outstanding autobiographies, whistleblowers (I represented the first Enron book), celebrity tales, and anything else that is truly exceptional.
What do you want to see?
I need the first ten pages of your manuscript. Nothing more than that. Other agents have more complex demands, e.g.synopsis, research notes, and so on. I don't need any of that, at this stage. What I want to see is your raw writing talent. Given that, all else is possible.
Do you accept unpublished authors?
Nothing makes me happier than discovering prodigious talent.
Can I email you rather than use your form?
No. Please use the form below to make initial contact. It's there for a reason.
Can I phone you instead?
Please don't. Compared to many other agents, I'm very approachable. For example, I maintain a constant presence inside Litopia, where anyone can ask me anything.
Even so, I still receive a lot of pitches by phone. They are often a major distraction in an already-overfull day – and they never work.
Can I send again if you reject the first time?
My best advice is to join Litopia, and workshop your manuscript there in The Houses. Many writers have improved their work – and more importantly, their skills – beyond all measure in the Colony. And when the time is right, you can of course re-submit.
Do you accept multiple submissions?
If you are a UK-based author, you might also consider submitting your work to the following literary agents:
If you are certain your work is of a sufficiently high standard to be submitted to Redhammer, please use the form below. You should always keep a copy for yourself as we are unable to return work or enter into any correspondence about it. An asterisk (*) means the field is mandatory.

- Studio: Strand Releasing
- Release Date: May 11, 2012
- Summary: Julio is a struggling young writer who has hit a wall. Unemployed and involved in a half-hearted relationship with his neighbor, things are finally starting to look up when he gets an interview with a renowned author to transcribe his latest work. Things don't go as planned, however, and Julio doesn't get the job. Instead of admitting the truth to his girlfriend, he pretends to be transcribing the novel when actually writing his own story. Searching for inspiration and a plot, Julio revisits a romance he had eight years ago when studying literature in Valdivia. As Julio's novel progresses, so does his fondness for the past and of the love he let slip away. Based on an internationally acclaimed novella, BONSÁI is a subtly affecting examination of the lies we tell ourselves in order to get by. (Strand Releasing)… Expand

By turns gentle, deadpan, droll and sarcastic, Jimenez's film reflects on Proust's "Remembrance of Things Past" to track a sweet but doomed love affair between literary -- and pleasurably randy -- college students.
There's nothing obscure about young love and loss, and a story, as Mr. Jiménez put it, about "youngsters who have to deal with this sudden lack of certainties which makes them more lonely than they could have ever imagined."
May 8, 2012Jiménez's drama is crisply imprinted; another fine recent Chilean effort.
May 8, 2012Jimenez makes a youthful film about sex, lies and literature that has the awkward charm of first love.
It has its moments, although the charmless main character Julio (played by Diego Noguera) begins to get on your nerves, as he seems incapable of extricating himself from difficult situations.
