"Extreme" Doggy Jumping
Dog Trainers often get asked 2 questions about Jumping.
The most commonly asked question is, "How can I keep my dog from jumping on me or others?" The second is the opposite of the first: how can owners encourage the jumping behavior?" Some would even like to know, "How can I make my dog jump over something?"
We have a tip on our website that explains how training your dog to jump over objects, can actually help STOP the unwanted jumping behavior. Check out our "How To Teach Your Dog To Jump Over" article that explains how BOTH questions above can be accomplished at the same time.

A new position paper just published by the Dutch Physicians Association (KNMG) says unbearable and lasting suffering should not be the only criteria physicians consider when a patient requests euthanasia.
The KNMG says the new guidelines will clarify the responsibilities, possibilities and limitations that physicians have within the regulations of the 2002 euthanasia law (Termination of Life on Request and Assisted Suicide [Review Procedures] Act or Euthanasia Act for short).
Dutch euthanasia law
Euthanasia, or assisted suicide, is legal in the Netherlands. But it can only be applied under very strict conditions, under medical supervision, and at the request of the patient.
A 2002 law, the Termination of Life on Request and Assisted Suicide [Review Procedures] Act, stipulates the following conditions:
- Euthanasia is available to individuals aged 16 or over
- Euthanasia is applied at the spoken or written request of the patient
- The patient's doctor has to be convinced that the patient's suffering is interminable and unbearable
- The doctor has explained the patient's situation to him or her
- The doctor and the patient have agreed that all other avenues have been explored
- An independent colleague of the doctor has agreed that the above conditions have been met
- The doctor applies every possible medical care during the euthanasia
Doctors are not obliged to accede to a patient's euthanasia request. In such cases, patients or their families could try and find another doctor.
Euthanasia cases have to be officially registered with regional supervisory bodies. In 2010 the five supervisors registered 3136 cases (Dutch population: 17 million). That is a 19 percent increase over the preceding year.
At the moment, there are approximately one million elderly people in the Netherlands with multi-morbidity (two or more long-term diseases or ailments) and that number is expected to rise to 1.5 million in the course of the coming decade. According to the new guidelines, vulnerability (or fragility) refers to health problems, and the ensuing limitations, as well as a concurrent decline in other areas of life such as financial resources, social network and social skills.
As people age, many suffer from a complex array of gradually worsening problems, which can include poor eyesight, deafness, fatigue, difficulty in walking and incontinence as well as loss of dignity, status, financial resources, an ever-shrinking social network and loss of social skills. Although this accumulation of ailments and diseases is not life-threatening as such, it does have a negative impact on the quality of life and make the elderly vulnerable or fragile. Vulnerability also affects the ability to recover from illnesses and can lead to unbearable and lasting suffering.
Under the Euthanasia Act, a request for euthanasia may be honoured only if a patient is undergoing unbearable and lasting suffering. The KNMG now says that, if non-medical factors such as income or loneliness are to be taken into consideration, other specialists must be consulted when a patient has requested euthanasia. In an interview broadcast on Dutch television, KNMG chair Arie Nieuwenhuijzen Kruseman said weighing up non-medical factors was far from simple:
"It's quite possible that the same constellation of factors would be experienced as unbearable and lasting suffering by one patient but quite tolerable by another. This makes it extremely difficult."
The physicians association says further investigation into non-medical factors is needed and Dr Nieuwenhuijzen Kruseman adds that euthanasia should be allowed even when a patient is not suffering from a terminal disease:
"It doesn't always have to be a physical ailment, it could be the onset of dementia or chronic psychological problems, it's still unbearable and lasting suffering. It doesn't always have to be a terminal disease."

Lazard Ltd Reports Second-Quarter And First-Half 2012 Results
Our goal remains to grow annual awarded compensation expense at a slower rate than revenue growth, and to achieve a compensation-to-revenue ratio over the cycle in the mid- to high-50s percentage range on both an awarded and adjusted GAAP basis 1 with discipline on deferrals.
Non-Compensation Expense
For the second quarter of 2012, non-compensation expense 1 was $106 million, on an adjusted basis 1, essentially unchanged compared to the first quarter of 2012, and 6% higher than the second quarter of 2011. Non-compensation expense was primarily impacted by increases in occupancy costs. Non-compensation costs other than occupancy, in aggregate, were essentially unchanged in the second quarter of 2012 compared to the prior-year period. The ratio of non-compensation expense to operating revenue was 23% in the quarter, compared to 20% in the second quarter of 2011.
For the first half of 2012, non-compensation expense 1 was $211 million, on an adjusted basis 1, 10% higher than the first half of 2011. This excludes non-compensation expenses related to the 2012 first-quarter charge associated with staff reductions. The increase in non-compensation expense was primarily impacted by higher occupancy costs and deal-related third-party fees. The ratio of non-compensation expense to operating revenue was 22%, compared to 20% in the first half of 2011.TAXES The provision for taxes, on an adjusted basis 1, was $10 million for the second quarter and $25 million for the first half of 2012. The effective tax rate on the same basis was 22.9% for the second quarter and 24.5% for the first half of 2012, compared to 21.4% and 20.2% for the respective 2011 periods. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AND BALANCE SHEET Our primary capital management goals include reducing excess cash, managing debt, and increasing returns to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases. As of July 26, 2012 (year to date), we have returned $243 million to Lazard shareholders primarily through payments of dividends and share repurchases.

Break Up Myths 101: Why You Don't Need Him Around For Closure
Posted by By Tracy at 24 February, at 13 : 25 PM Print
Men are masters at the art of detachment. It's an ability I've envied and furiously abhorred since my first relationship. Guerdley and I still aren't quite sure if it's an innate trait or part of male domestication. Let's say 50/50. Either way, I swear my own female state of mind became blotched the second dry-humping flipped into wet-humping. Like the crones of society tipped an elixir down my throat to cripple me from self-preservation. Fxck them.
Through the years, I've become almost obsessed with creating this sort of spiritual mitosis where I'm fully aware of my ego, who's costumed in gender code and my true self, who's a well-balanced empress. I'm still learning how to get the hang of all that and through this fancy, non-linear explanation I'm trying to get to the point that as women— as humans—we can only control ourselves. In this life, we're given just one steering wheel each sons. No matter how good the sex was then, how great the sexual tension is now, how hellish your heart cramps at the the thought of him, how much love or like yall once shared, no dude is obligated to give you closure. It's quite nice to receive it yes, but we can't let anyone control our own traffic light. As one great friend asked me some years back when I was stickity stuck on one sexy mental terrorist — why are you waiting for him to tell you to move on? I hated that question. Mainly because it wasn't rhetorical, it involved personal and uncomfortable assessment. To keep it brief my answer had much to do with an insatiability complex, control issues, troublemaker tendencies and good 'ol conceited girl syndrome. #judgementfreezone
I won't flex a facade and claim I'm the greatest at finding closure on the solo tip, but I've learned a couple tricks with age, experience, great guyfriends, great girlfriends and smelly bullshit. As the adage goes, if you want something done right, you've got to do it yourself. Peep some notes to keep in mind.
This is ridiculously vital for your livelihood my fine estrogened friends. If you're a control freak like me then it's best you fall in love with a pet, dance class, yoga mat, YouTube girl, whatever… just something (vs. someone) to rechannel your energy towards and to provide you with static bliss
Nah, not in a text message or booby-trapped email. Grab a pad or open up Word and scribble your thoughts out. Our minds are bottomless, don't let your thoughts erupt in that pit. Whether it's a list or a full-blown F U spiel, just make sure you wrap it up with why you need to move on and how you're going to do it. Closure is personal, so remember you're the only one who can breach this contract, so try not to fxck it up.
Platonically of course lol. Honing in on anger is probably the fastest way to get over someone, but I don't suggest it because you'll be teetering along man-hater lane. I beg of you gals, don't trek down there, it's a dark, dark place. Instead get in touch with your masculine side by hanging out with your masculine side. I love my guy friends dearly for two highlighted reasons: 1) they're a constant reminder that angels coexist with assholes 2) they have no patience for incessant mopiness.
I love R&B artists I really do, but my are they emotional enablers. Our subconscious is so very delicate. If you want to lose weight it wouldn't make sense to gorge on McDonald's. So if you want to lose baggage it doesn't make sense to have Ne-Yo's "Do You" on repeat.
Sadly, it's not a guarantee that these guidelines are going to instantly snap you back to your old, golden self. But at the very least I can promise that they're all great stepping stones. The most important factor in propelling you forward has got to be just that… you. Put a muzzle on that ego, the bitch needs it.
Much x and o sons. If you've got more suggestions to add, build that support system down below.

This list is very helpful! I strongly agree with finding a new hobby. I believe change is good after breakups! Good job!
This article had me reminiscing lol…I always commit the last crime. I continuously listen to Heather Headley's "I wish I wasn't" and Tamia's "Officially missing you" but I'm going to try to stop. Keeping your tips in mind.

Ryan North Archives - Page 2 of 2 - Robot 6 @ Comic Book Resources
Comics A.M. | Drunken Incredible Hulk arrested for dealing drugs
Crime | A drunken Coventry, England, man was arrested for selling drugs outside a nightclub while dressed as the Incredible Hulk. According to the article, "Police were alerted by his costume which was based on the TV and film character who becomes green and superhuman when angry." [Coventry Telegraph]
Creators | Dinosaur Comics creator Ryan North discusses his work on BOOM!'s upcoming Adventure Time comic. [ComicsAlliance]
Creators | Colleen Doran posts some character designs she worked up years ago for a never-completed animation project written by Warren Ellis; she admits to using Star Trek actor George Takei as the model for the main character. [A Distant Soil]
Comics creators whip up some recipe comix for Saveur
Foodie magazine Saveur has a new feature on its website: Recipe Comix, real-life recipes by famous comics creators (apparently the folks at Saveur read a lot of webcomics). Check out a manly chili recipe by Ryan North (Dinosaur comics), an elegant presentation of Oyakodon from Frank Gibson and Becky Dreistadt (Tiny Kitten Teeth) and chocolate ice cream by Dorothy Gambrell (Cat and Girl), among others. Go, read, taste!
North, Malki, Bennardo preparing second Machine of Death
Webcomics creators Ryan North and David Malki, along with writer Matthew Bennardo, spearheaded a prose anthology called Machine of Death, where each short story centered on a machine that told you when you would die. In addition to short stories by a variety of authors, it also included illustrations by folks like Kate Beaton, Kazu Kibuishi, Jeffrey Brown, Roger Langridge, Karl Kershl, Cameron Stewart and many more.
After being rejected by several publishers, they self-published the book last year and took the No. 1 best sellers spot on Amazon, beating out new books that week by Keith Richards, the Barefoot Contessa and Glenn Beck, among others.
And now they're planning a sequel, for which they are now accepting submissions. The submissions process is fairly open. Per the submissions guidelines:
Comics A.M. | The comics Internet in two minutes
Legal | The U.S. Supreme Court appeared divided Tuesday during oral arguments on a California law that would forbid the sale or rental of violent video games to minors. Justices Antonin Scalia, Ruth Bader Ginsberg and Sonia Sotomayor raised free-speech objections to the statute, with Ginsberg asking: "If you are supposing a category of violent materials dangerous to children, then how do you cut it off at video games? What about films? What about comic books?" Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. and Justices Stephen G. Breyer and Samuel A. Alito Jr. indicated their belief that the state can restrict the access of minor to video games, while Justices Anthony M. Kennedy and Elena Kagan probed the issues without showing their cards. It will probably be several months before the court hands down a decision. [Los Angeles Times, PC World]
Crime | A man charged with orchestrating the July theft of the expensive comics collection of an elderly Rochester, N.Y., man who was beaten and later died has been arrested by FBI agents for allegedly selling hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of stolen merchandise on eBay. [The Daily News]
Crime | Police in Stamford, Conn., charged Spider-Man and Captain America with assault and Poison Ivy with breach of peace following a weekend brawl in a parking garage. [The Associated Press]
Ragtag group of webcomickers pwns Glenn Beck
Machine of Death is an anthology of speculative short stories about people who know how (but not when) they are going to die. The book is edited by Ryan North, Matthew Bennardo and David Malki, and somehow the three of them came up with a clever idea: They asked everyone who was planning to buy the book to do so on the day it was released, Oct. 26, so they could place high on the Amazon sales charts.
"When we picked a release date, we tried to aim for a day far from other major book releases," the authors explain on their blog. In that, they failed spectacularly: A number of potential best-sellers came out that day, including Keith Richards's autobiography, a new Barefoot Contessa cookbook, and Glenn Beck's latest book, Broke.
Nonetheless, the power of the internet is such that Machine of Death took the No. 1 spot on Amazon for that day.
While Keith Richards and the Barefoot Contessa seem to have taken this news with equanimity, it sent Beck into a spluttering, incoherent rage, and he went into a long rant on the air about the culture of death and Bill Ayers envying Keith Richards for snorting his father's ashes, and not knowing what Brown Sugar refers to, and the general disrespect of "the left" for daring to buy other books on the day his book came out. (There's a transcript and a link to the audio here.)
And as any public figure with half a brain can tell you, the effect has been exactly the opposite of what Beck intended. Rather than apologizing and buying two copies of his book, people have been laughing and pointing and, in some cases, buying extra copies of Machine of Death just to spite Glenn Beck. (Hey, it's only ten bucks on Amazon.)

brown spotting
Find a Conversation
|Tue, 10-27-2009 - 10:55am
I started brownish spotting about 3 days before AF was due and then nothing. A week later I got some pinkish spotting but only when I wiped. Now I have the brownish spotting with cramping on the first day with this being the third day. No cramping anymore though. I am 46 and know strange things happen with your hormones as you get older. Not sure what to think about this.

Well let's see I've had brown spotting the past three days and it's because I am pregnant. Unfortunately my beta is not rising appropriately and it looks certain it will be a m/c, but nevertheless, for me brown spotting is usually implantation spotting from pg, unless it is at the end of period. I can't speak to strange cycle changes of perimenopause, but maybe others have some experience with that.
IMHO, you really should test for heatlh reasons, even if you hate to see a BFN. What if you have an ectopic pg or missed miscarriage? It's important to rule those out. And if you are pg with a healthy embryo, shouldn't you be getting prenatal care?

Rock and roll came in 50 years ago, and so did Congressmen berating payola for promoting this "bad" music. They passed laws against the payola. The rock and roll went on and on, and so did the payola.
Now comes Eliot Spitzer shaking down music publishers for hefty amounts to avoid trials. Warner Music Group settled for $5 million and Sony BMG Entertainment for $10 million. What is this thing called payola and why doesn't it go away? Why is it illegal?
Payola occurs when music publishers pay singers and players of music to sing or play their songs. Payola is the payment, in money or in kind. Payola doesn't go away because it is so basic to the music business. It's a way for the publishers to get their music sung and played without placing the singers and players full time on their payroll or making them formally part of their company.
Music publishers sell records, CDs, sheet music, and such. To advertise their songs to the public so that they may buy, they sometimes pay others to make the song known. When this happens, the payola is payment for advertising. We have no reason to expect advertising to go away.
There is no mystery to payola's existence. The mystery is how and why payola has become illegal.
The larger, more established, and more successful music publishers have multiple ways of promoting their product, such as through sponsoring concerts, artists, billboards, web sites, samples, ads, and payola etc. The smaller, less established or newer independent publishers do not find it economical to use all these methods. They often prefer to get their music played via payola, paying others who have built-in audiences to play their songs. Al Jolson got a lot of payola, even a race horse.
Now, the big guys don't like it when the little guys horn in on their customers. They don't want the little guys to become big guys. The big guys hit upon a bright idea, a very old idea that Adam Smith knew about. Why not get together and ban these payments? Then the little guys will stay little. Meanwhile we'll use all the other methods and keep ourselves big.
This banding together is called forming a cartel. But there are hitches. About 1 minute or less after the big guys agree on the cartel, each of them sneaks off to a telephone and calls his favorite disk jockey and offers payola. This is called "cheating," but to circumvent an agreement such as this is hardly something anyone need worry about and it's good for the customers. The cartel members have even more incentive to pay the payola if they think no one else is doing it. The cartel collapses.
The big guys also have to prevent the little guys from continuing to pay the payola. The 1917 cartel was called MPAA (Music Publishers' Protective Association), which sounds like something the Black Hand would invent. MPAA managed to get the vaudeville theatre operators to boycott any publisher who was not a member of the MPAA. This scheme collapsed almost immediately. Ronald Coase's research on this subject quotes historian Hazel Meyer's book: "Within twenty-four hours, the overt payola to vaudeville performers stopped. Within another twenty-four hours, payola was underground."
Coase also informs us about the history of payola back into the 1800s. The established publishers in England in the 1860s paid the leading singers royalties to sing their songs. A newcomer, W.H. Hutchinson, could not afford this, so he paid payola to smaller singers to introduce his songs. Pretty soon, the larger houses imitated him. In America, business was similar, and the houses competed for artists. In the middle 1890s, the music publishers formed a short-lived cartel. It collapsed when its members "began to make secret arrangements with headliners." Variety magazine assisted in other cartel formation attempts when its publishers realized it meant greater ad revenue for the magazine. In the 1930s the payola switched to leaders of big bands; in the 1950s, to disk jockeys.
There are other ways besides cheating or secret production in which cartels fall apart. They usually cannot control the entry of newcomers, who then proceed to undercut the cartel and gain market share. They can't control product changes. They can't control competition from substitute products.
Unless a cartel can gain ironclad enforcement, it usually falls apart. The best enforcement is to get a law passed. Enter the state. Payola is illegal because the big guys have succeeded in getting regulations and laws passed to make it illegal, the motive being to keep the little guys little.
The lawmakers who pass these laws have their own motives that we need not go into. In one way or another, they get their own payola. Sometimes they are just plain ignoramuses who think they're doing the little guys a favor, or at least they sometimes say so!
The faces of the big guys change, but their incentive to organize through the state is a constant. We therefore observe them pushing, over a 43-year period, for regulation of payola under the NRA in 1935 (found unconstitutional), under Federal Trade Commission (FTC) rules between 1935 and 1938 (another failure), until they achieved some success in 1960 by getting legislation that amended the 1934 Communications Act. This made the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) the federal regulator of payola.
The big guys didn't get all they wanted in 1960, but half a loaf is better than none. They got a law that says that if you take payola for a song you have to announce the details on the air. This rather messes up a show, so it had some effect. But payola set in again because publishers, big and small, still want to advertise their music. There's outright payola that ignores the law, in which the broadcaster simply doesn't announce that the music is supported by a promotion. The FCC and others are lax in checking up, you see. Then there's subtle payola. This can get complicated with some gaining and others losing. The gist of it seems to be that the publishers acted through intermediaries (promoters) who got playlists from the broadcasters and then reported back to the publishers who then influenced the playlists, with money and favors being passed along here and there. Sony's settlement also mentions such heinous practices as payments in kind to radio programmers, contest giveaways to audiences, and payments to stations to cover their operating expenses.
The net result is that 45 years after the 1960 legislation, we again hear loud voices in the industry pushing for tougher laws to bar payola. There's little point in trying to figure out who's right and wrong among the new set of players, who gains and loses, or what should be done in terms of new laws and amendments. It's all a big waste of time and effort, a big charade in which all those seeking gain will posture and wag their fingers at payola. Congressmen will act all morally outraged, pointing to some lurid piece of testimony about some "whore" who gladly took money to play any drivel. Some popular author will testify about how outrageous these practices are. Someone from Cato will try not to alienate anyone while half-heartedly compromising. A few people will speak plainly about how banning payola harms them and others, but they will be ignored.
The answer is simple: freedom. Repeal the amendments to the Communications Act. Then repeal that Act too. Deregulation is not impossible. It's tough though because of the interest group politics involved.
The basic problem is that our legal system is sclerotic. Our legal arteries need an angioplasty. They're clogged up with too many laws and regulations. We the people actually need a new circulation system altogether. We can't change our arteries or strike at the root of our problems without (1) a revolution in our thinking about our relationship to our rulers, and (2) actually changing our legal institutions, which will also be revolutionary.
When and if we move in a new direction, we will still want law. What will it be? What should it be?
Law based on rights or natural law is a viable option. How does this work for payola?
Payola is entirely legitimate (under natural law). It is voluntary among all who are involved. The publisher volunteers payment if he wants to promote a song. The song plugger, be it an itinerant minstrel, a dance band, a disk jockey, a broadcaster, a vaudeville theatre performer, or an internet web site, voluntarily accepts payment to play the song. The listener who hears the song, whether for free or after having paid admission, can buy or not buy the song. The listener can listen to the song or switch it off. If he has paid admission and doesn't like what he has heard, he can patronize some other artist in the future.
Payola is not a bribe, not immoral, not a flagrant evil, not unclean, not reprehensible, not wrong, not dirty competition, not a detriment to those engaging in it, not an insidious curse, not devious, not an unfair trade practice, and not a surreptitious inducement for the public to buy a song, These are the descriptions used by those who wish to form a cartel and pass a non-rights based law that constrains what otherwise freely acting people might harmlessly wish to do. This is the language of legal arteriosclerosis, a malady that eventually kills if not treated.
Payola is not an extraneous inducement that interferes with music being played for its own merits. It is not a sensible cause of moral indignation. It is not a legitimate reason for rights-based law, although non-rights based law does regulate it. It does not force bad music on the public. The public selects its own bad (and good) music.
Magazines, newspapers, and web sites take something like payola all the time. They give more and better ad space to those who pay them for it. Now suppose that the advertisers pay the web site to mention them in their content, to plug them. That's plugola, similar to payola. Suppose that in a movie scene, a Jaguar auto is prominent. Chances are there has been a promotional payment. Suppose a columnist mentions how good a movie is. Perhaps he has been paid plugola by the producers. Actors and others endorse products all the time. Would it surprise you to learn that they may have been paid to do so?
Although there is no good reason for payola to upset anyone, it upsets many who shout "deception!" Some believe this. Other shouters are hypocrites who are in the business of selling books and scandals, or benefit by painting themselves as taking the moral high road.
I am most concerned about those who believe there is something deceptive or unethical here. Often these believers have passed through the U.S. educational system, had a course in economics or ethics, and sincerely think they know what's going on in such matters. If you happen to be one of these people, I'm saying that you have not been told the whole truth. You have been told half-truths, and the net effect has been to deceive you. Your brain is in good working order, and if you have no psychological need to remain fixated on a false belief system, then please allow yourself to entertain the hypothesis that payola is not bad. When Mr. Spitzer and others shout deception, they have their own agenda and it's not to help you.
Some who really consider themselves deceived think that the menu of potential music that might have been aired has been misrepresented to them. They think they have a property right on what tunes the musicians or disk jockeys play. This is not so. It's obvious that a listener has no such right for over-the-air broadcasts. Even when customers pay for a concert, their rights are limited. The musicians choose the tunes.
If you are someone who expects other people to purify, in some way that I cannot imagine, the information that you tune in to or are exposed to, you are expecting too much. You certainly cannot expect the law or lawmakers to accomplish this for you. Filtering information is your job just as much as choosing your diet is.
The attitude of demanding that laws solve our personal problems, which seems to approach madness, is not limited to payola but extends to all advertising, food labeling, toy safety, and much else. The idea is to "let George do it." It's actually not madness at work here, but another form of a cartel, an association of a stratum of voters who wish to impose the costs of labeling on everyone else by passing laws requiring labeling.
Having said that and understanding some of the economics of this process, I still feel that I am living in a country gone mad that allows and encourages these games to be played. The results of 50 years of laws like this are chaos, rancor, absurdity, phoniness, resentment, and nonsense.
In all instances of advertising, whether straight ads, payola, plugola, endorsements or whatever, the rights-based approach is let the listener beware and let the buyer beware. If you consent to hear the ad or tune in the program or read the column, and you do consent, then you are responsible for judging the merits of what you hear.
Distinguishing what's true and what's false by who is providing the message and what their interest in it might be is your individual responsibility. This is a basic and age-old human activity. After the first few instances in which you are deceived, you are supposed to figure out that some situations produce more reliable information than others. If you believe everything you read or hear in ads, it's your problem. If you judge by appearances, it's your problem.
To add to the insanity, consider the ambitious Mr. Spitzer again. He's running for governor in 2006. His peculiar aptitude is in building his career out of prosecuting non-crimes against Martha Stewart, mutual funds, and now music publishers. Mr. Spitzer has called the payola "bribes." This is inaccurate. There is every reason to believe that broadcast employers full well understand and condone payola to employees and take it into account when salaries are determined.
Mr. Spitzer is neither insane nor atypical. But any system that encourages behavior like his needs to be put out of its misery. The plug needs to be pulled. U.S.A. stands for the United States Asylum, it appears.
The incredible fact is that the fines extracted by Spitzer will be turned over to Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors who will then use it to fund music programs in New York state. There being no connection between music programs and listeners to shows produced by those who took payola, this procedure is a fitting conclusion to this particular episode in the mindless payola story.

Title: CHEAP!!!
Date: Oct 31, 2012
The photo shows that this crook is covered in fabric. However, this is made of VERY cheap fabric. It broke before my daughter's class went out for their costume parade...let alone trick or treating. She was very upset & I was able to hot glue it back together for the evening, but this is not at all what I was expecting. I know that the description states plastic, but it does not show that there are seams in the crook. This is where it came apart & should be shown in the photo for acurate gauge of quality & what to expect. Would not recommed for the $12.99 price...$4.99, maybe.

Rabbi David Saperstein: "This tragic case reminds us that too many around the world are not yet free to practice their religion in safety."
Contact: Max Rosenblum or Deborah S. Goldberg 202.387.2800 | email@example.com
WASHINGTON, D.C., June 9, 2014 – Last Thursday, Rabbi David Saperstein joined a delegation of religious leaders in meeting with Sudan's Ambassador to the U.S., Maowia Khalid. This meeting comes on the heels of a Sudanese court's sentencing of Meriam Ibrahim to death for allegedly converting to Christianity (Ms. Ibrahim insists she had always been raised a Christian). Dr. Mohamed Elsanousi, Director of External Relations of Finn Church Aid, organized the meeting. In response to the sentencing of Meriam Ibrahim to be flogged and hanged, Rabbi David Saperstein, Director of the Religious Action Center, issued the following statement:
"For so many in the U.S. religious community, the arrest and conviction of Meriam Ibrahim has been a source of grave concern. In an open and candid meeting, Ambassador Maowia Khalid met for an hour with a group of religious leaders long committed to religious freedom and human rights. We expressed firmly our pervasive legal, religious freedom and humanitarian concerns for Ms. Ibrahim, emphasizing the guarantees of religious freedom (including the right to choose and to change one's own religion) in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, both of which Sudan is a signatory to, and the promise of religious freedom in its own Constitution.The Ambassador, of course, explained firmly the Sudanese government's position on the legal issues involved but also exhibited an openness in understanding the concerns we shared so clearly with him. The problem is that Sudan's criminal law of 1991, which is the basis for the sentence, does not match the constitution of 2005, which guarantees religious freedom. He indicated he would be willing to welcome a high-level religious leaders delegation to meet with government officials on religious liberty issues, and would even recommend allowing us to meet with Ms. Ibrahim. In laying out the process and opportunities in the appeals system for reversal of the decision, he left open the possibility that progress can be made on this case. I raised, as well, other concerns about the challenges faced by the 3% of the Sudan population that is Christian.The Jewish community's historic experience of persecution and the values of our tradition inform deeply held beliefs in the dignity of every person and fundamental human rights, including the right to worship freely as members of diverse religious communities, including minority communities. This tragic case reminds us that too many around the world are not yet free to practice their religion in safety. We urge that Meriam Ibrahim be released from her imprisonment, her sentences be commuted or overturned and an effort be taken to expand religious freedom for all religious groups in Sudan. If tragic cases like Ms. Ibrahim's leads some in Sudan (whether in the government, in civil society forces and/or in the religious community) to engage in trying to enhance religious freedom, we need to do what we can to encourage that."

Medical Mishap Stories for Cash
Medical maladies and mishaps are bound to happen to each individual at least once in their lifetime. Whether it is a misdiagnosis, an improper stitch sewn to your wound, or even just the lack of funds to pay for a treatment at that moment.
However, Julie Rovner from NPR states, "there's at least one good thing about the country's inability to control health costs. If you can write a compelling essay about a problem, you could win a thousand bucks."
Rovner goes on in her article that a non-profit organization called Costs of Care that is awarding four prizes this year to the winners who write an essay about either how doctors helped them avoid incredibly high health costs, or how they fell victim to our country's ever-increasing medical expenses.
Costs of Care, as Rovner notes, "[was] founded by a young doctor and a group of medical consultants, has the goal of teaching physicians to be more aware of the economic aspects of health care. Or, more specifically, illuminating how the decisions doctors make affect what their patients wind up paying."
This sort of non-profit is both enlightening for the medical community and for the patients who receive medical care. It empowers both parties to become knowledgeable about how a doctor should help a patient try and avoid as many unnecessary payments as possible, and how a patient should be proactive in their decision-making.
So if you, or someone you love has had a success story of how their doctor saved them money, or unfortunately have had the opposite happen to you or them – direct them to the Costs of Care website where they can find out more about opportunities to win money for their story.

Kendrick Perkins: "I tell my wife that I just can't picture myself anywhere but Boston"
After Sunday's game against the Orlando Magic, Kendrick Perkins said he can't envision himself playing anywhere but Boston.
"I really can't, you know," Perkins said. "I think about this every day. I tell my wife that I just can't picture myself anywhere but Boston."
"Obviously, I want to be here," added Perkins. "But I'm just trying to finish this season healthy, just trying to finish this season strong. Then, whatever happens, happens."
Perkins continued, "You have to play. You can't worry about anything else — what your stats look like, or your money, or whatever it is. I just have to go out there and hoop free, and I think you do better when you do stuff like that."
Perkins and his agent, Arn Tellem, reportedly already turned down a contract extension that would have netted Perkins slightly less than $30 million over four years. If and when Perkins hits free agency, the Miami Heat will reportedly be interested. But Perk likes it just where he is.

MYTH: The Employee Free Choice Act abolishes the National Labor Relations Board's "secret ballot" election process.
FACT: The Employee Free Choice Act does not abolish the NLRB election process. That process would still be available under the Employee Free Choice Act. The legislation simply gives workers the choice of forming their union through an election or through majority sign-up. The majority sign-up process has been a widely used path to union representation since 1935, but workers may only use the majority sign-up process currently if their employer agrees. The Employee Free Choice Act puts that choice in the hands of employees rather than their employer.
MYTH: The National Labor Relations Board's "secret ballot" election protects workers' democratic rights.
FACT: Secret ballots alone do not guarantee fair elections. Under an NLRB election, employees have no right to free speech, no protection against intimidation from supervisors, and are regularly forced to attend anti-union meetings. They are also typically forced to attend one-on-one interviews with their managers to reveal their electoral preferences. In contrast, union organizers are not allowed to set foot on the property, the one place where all the "voters" can be found.
MYTH: The Employee Free Choice Act is payback for unions' support of Democrats.
FACT: The Employee Free Choice Act is about rebuilding and growing our nation's middle class. If the current crisis has taught us anything, it's that economic growth cannot be sustained on credit. We need real wage and benefit growth. Ensuring the freedom to collectively bargain is an effective way of re-linking workers' rising productivity with rising wages.
MYTH: Union wages and benefits have resulted in the auto-industry collapse and are irrelevant to today's economy.
FACT: Workers and their unions are not responsible for the auto industry's troubles. Labor costs amount to only a tenth of the cost of building a car. All ten of the most efficient auto plants in North America are union plants. Setting aside their legacy costs, the Big 3's wages are on par with the Japanese auto makers. The American auto industry has made some bad business choices but agreeing to provide middle class jobs was not one of them.
MYTH: The Employee Free Choice Act would require public union card signings.
FACT: Under current law, employees already must sign cards or petitions saying they support a union in order to obtain an election. And, when an employer agrees to a majority sign-up process, employees must sign cards to show the union's majority status. The union authorization card under the Employee Free Choice Act is treated no differently than a petition for election or a card under a majority sign-up agreement under current law. As with petitions for an election, under the Employee Free Choice Act, the NLRB, not the employer, would receive the cards and determine their validity.
MYTH: The Employee Free Choice Act will encourage intimidation and harassment by labor unions against workers.
FACT: Coercion and pressure drops when workers form a union through a majority sign-up process. Workers report much less pressure from all sides during majority sign-up campaigns than with NLRB elections. But, harassment by unions is not the problem. Unlike employers, a union organizer can't fire you, cut your pay, or deny you a promotion. If you're an employee actively trying to organize your coworkers, you have a one in five chance of getting fired by your employer for simply exercising your rights.
MYTH: The Employee Free Choice Act would require a secret ballot election for workers to get rid of a union.
FACT: Under current law, no election is necessary to disband a union. The Employee Free Choice Act would not change this. Under current law, if an employer has evidence, such as cards or a petition, that a majority of workers no longer supports the union, then, without an election, the employer is required by law to withdraw recognition of the union and stop bargaining.
MYTH: The Employee Free Choice Act's sponsors support secret ballot elections for workers in Mexico, but not in the United States.
FACT: Members of Congress wrote to Mexican authorities in 2001 arguing in favor of a secret ballot election in a case where workers were trying to replace a sham company-dominated union with an independent union. The Employee Free Choice Act is consistent with this: it would not change the requirement for an NLRB election in cases where workers seek to replace one union with another union. Indeed, the original framers of the National Labor Relations Act intended elections for precisely those cases where multiple unions were competing – particularly where one was a sham company union and another was a real independent union.
MYTH: Given the economic crisis, now is not the time to enact the Employee Free Choice Act.
FACT: The Employee Free Choice Act is needed to address underlying economic problems that helped create the current crisis and to ensure that the recovery is fair and sustainable. Dozens of prominent economists, including three Nobel Prize laureates, recently signed a statement in support of enacting the Employee Free Choice Act, as "a critically important step in rebuilding our economy."
MYTH: The Employee Free Choice Act requires mandatory arbitration that may force businesses to be uncompetitive.
FACT: No reasonable arbitrator would force conditions onto businesses that would force them out of business. Even though workers may choose to form a union, employers often stall when it comes time to negotiate a first contract, and current law provides no incentives for the parties to come to an agreement. Under the bill, employers or employees may request mediation from the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service if no agreement on a first contract has been reached after 90 days. If an agreement cannot be mediated, the dispute would be referred to binding arbitration. All of the time frames can be extended by mutual agreement. Experience shows that having an arbitration option available brings parties closer together, and, as a result, the parties resolve their negotiations on their own terms and in good faith.

Humidity 84%
Winds 10.4mph
Aug 21, 2013 6:26 PM by Andrew Ellison - firstname.lastname@example.com
CORPUS CHRISTI - Congressman Blake Farenthold is fighting critics over comments he made about how successful Congress would be if they tried to impeach President Obama.
The controversy comes from a YouTube video of Farenthold at an open house discussion a couple of weeks ago.
In the video, the congressman addresses his constituents' concerns about the president and answers a question he says he hears all the time: Why don't lawmakers impeach the president if they're so unhappy with him?
He answered, "If we were to impeach the president tomorrow, you could probably get the votes in the House of Representatives to do it. But it would go the Senate and he wouldn't be convicted."
Impeachment is an intense process. It requires a majority vote in the House, and even then, the Senate would have to convict the president after a trial to remove him from office.
Farenthold went on to say the process could do more harm than good, citing President Clinton's impeachment over a decade ago.
"That failed impeachment attempt has actually damaged the country," Farenthold says.
Only one other president, Andrew Johnson, has been impeached, and he, like Clinton, was not convicted by the Senate.
Richard Nixon resigned before the House likely would have impeached him.
Political Analyst Dr. Bob Bezdek, a political science teacher at Texas A&M Corpus Christi, says Farenthold was likely just trying to satisfy one faction of the Republican Party.
"I think they're concerned about being tea-partied, which means that somebody moves to the right of them and then knocks them out in the Republican primary," Bezdek says.
And while the congressman says he doesn't advocate impeachment, one of his later comments again focuses on the likely outcome and not on whether or not it should be done.
"What message do we send to America if we impeach Obama, and he gets away with what he's impeached for, and he's found innocent?" Farenthold says.
We called Farenthold's office. They say he was simply responding to a hypothetical question about how successful an impeachment attempt would be.

The waterproof barrier used on this roof was two-layered, with each layer requiring the same installation method. Roll out the first row on the end of the roof farthest from the house and cut the ends to leave about 1" of overhang on all sides.
Fold the piece in half to remove the plastic backing and expose adhesive. Stick this side down and repeat the folding to the other side and once again remove backing. Roll the next row out over the first, working your way up the pitch toward the house. When all rows are adhered trim the excess overhang closer to the edge of the plywood.
Add a drip edge to the perimeter, then add the second layer of roofing material over the first layer using the same process. Be sure to let the second layer extend over the drip edge by at least a 1/4". Use a water filled roller to press all of the waterproof material together and into the plywood roofing.
To complete the job, add roof tiles followed by a touch of paint and patio furniture to finish the transformation of the patio into a poolside oasis.

Since the 9/11 attacks, no book has provided a satisfactory answer as to WHY the attacks occurred and who was ultimately responsible for carrying them out - until now.
hats off family!! hugs
Back to Basics. If your great-grandparents didn't eat/drink it when they were young, it most likely isn't good for you. Seems mostly a post WW2 phenomenon, though the same tendency for the 'fast or easy buck' was always there, depending upon who had the money and wanted more and knew how to manipulate the media to ensure they got what they wanted, without any concern for the public of course. It seems the more governmental regulation we got, the less eventually received, as it highlighted the obstacles in the course of corruption for those looking to pervert it to their control. Economics again, and another reason perhaps why systems, like people, can reach the point when collapse is the most likely solution to the problem. If you don't catch it early on, the chances of 'fixing it' later declines exponentially with age.

One of the doctors at my Gastroenterologist's office is named Dr. Flax. I kid you not. I laugh every time I see it. I don't even think he had a choice when it came to picking a profession.
Lately, my life has consisted of studying for the GRE, trying to squat 135 pounds, working at Snap Kitchen and spending quality time with my GI doctor. We're still trying to figure out these stomach issues. The colonoscopy showed that my terminal ileum was inflamed, a symptom commonly seen in those with Crohn's Disease. Hmm. That's the first time that disease has been thrown out there and honestly, it's scary.
So yesterday, after drinking 16 ounces of barium solution and waiting for 3 1/2 hours for it to pass through my system, I had 20+ X-rays of my small bowel taken. And the results were…normal. The radiologist didn't see any signs of Crohn's, but he instead saw what appeared to be a normal bowel. I wasn't having any symptoms yesterday so the radiologist said that maybe my intestines looked normal because I wasn't in pain. However the same picture taken on a day when I was experiencing symptoms may have shown an intestine that looked different. The next step is to swallow a capsule that has a camera in it that will take pictures of my intestines. I'm sure that procedure will be just as enthralling as yesterday was.
Anyways, last time at the GI doctor he put me on a medicine that is commonly prescribed to Crohn's patients and I've felt good ever since then. But my stomach pain is so sporadic in the first place that it's hard to tell if I'm just having a good couple of weeks or the medicine is actually working.
I feel like we're moving in the right direction. The thought of being 22 and already being prescribed medicine to take for the rest of my life makes me feel sick. But I'm grateful for the doctors, for medicine that can help my inflammation, a sister who reassures me that this is fine and parents who are always there for me. Life really isn't that bad. Just a few minor speed bumps. I got so used to the idea of having Celiacs that I became okay with it. I remember being scared of Celiacs until I learned how to deal with it. I'm sure that if Crohn's ends up being my diagnosis, while a very different disease, i'll go through much of the same process as I did with Celiacs. Being scared of it at first and then accepting it as I learn how to live with it. With medicine and diagnoses, the unknown is scary. But usually, once you learn how to deal with whatever disease or condition, you realize that you're going to be okay. Life is all about adapting to change. Something that I'm, unfortunately, terrible at. However, I do know that there is still so much to be excited for…
- Having only 1 more year left of my nutrition undergrad.
- Applying for Nutrition grad school/internship programs.
- Having a boyfriend whose taking you on a surprise date this weekend.
- Having a little sister who is recovering extremely well from her 'break-your-face' surgery.
- Mexican-Thai Food. I'm making these tonight!
- And the ice cream maker I will be buying this week………
So much good.
And now it's time for…
So my previous WIAW posts tend to be a collection of my favorite meals that I've eaten anytime in the past week. But this post shows you what I actually ate in one day. Except I didn't photograph the water I drank…or that Diet Coke.
Since this WIAW month we are focusing on fitness, I thought I'd share the workout I did on the day I ate all this food. To be a runner in Houston, if you want to avoid heat stroke, you have to be a morning runner or an evening runner. There is no good mid-day time to run. Unless you want to melt, while getting the worse sunburn of your life. So I'm a morning runner. I have to run before I eat. Otherwise I'm miserable. Stomach hurts, feels like I can't breathe, just all out of sync. So morning runner it is. Saturday morning consisted of…
4 mile run (32 minutes)
Almost all my runs are 4 miles and my body knows it. As soon as I get to that 4 mile marker I can just feel it. It's like having an internal clock…but for distance instead of time.
and a Random P90x Ab ripper video I found on youtube
I only did the video up until the oblique crunches. I justified wimping out because I was running late (Lie. It was Saturday. I had nothing but GRE studying to do) but it was really because my abs hurt and because I had been thinking about the below breakfast for almost an hour by then…
Anytime you put stone fruit in something hot, it's reminisent of cobbler. Sweet, perfect cobbler. Then you add a scoop of cold greek yogurt and you practically have cobbler. Practically. Not exactly. But still, a healthy breakfast cobbler beats no cobbler.
I started off this breakfast with a base of oatless oats, originally inspired by Carrots n' Cake.
Breakfast Cobbler
Oatless Oatmeal (made with 1/4 cup chocolate muscle milk instead of 1/4 cup almond milk)
Topped with:
Scoop of Plain Greek Yogurt
Topped with anything that sounded remotely good.
Remotely good included:
Spring Salad Mix, Packet of Tuna, Blueberries, Avocado, Green Olives, Black Olives, Carrots, Orange Slices, Almonds, Peaches, Cherries, Cilantro, Corn Tortilla
For me, eating salads is a really great way to figure out what flavors go good together. Usually it ends up involving flavor combinations that I never would have thought of.
Case in point:
Blueberries, Black Olives, & Avocado
Peaches & Cilantro
This smoothie was so fluffy that I almost died…in a good way.
Chocolate-Banana-Orange Smoothie
The rest of my chocolate muscle milk from this morning (~3/4 cup)
1/4 cup orange juice
1 large frozen banana
2 frozen strawberries
Topped with 1 Tbsp Raw Oats
Keeping it oh so classy with the Professional Bull Riding Budlight Cup. I have no idea where these cups came from. We have 2 of them. It's weird. And the little bull rider man doesn't have a face. It's weirder.
If I ever have half the creativity as my mom, I'll know that I am successful. She's brilliant. Everything she creates in the kitchen is delicious. Everything. She's easily the most creative person I know. With my little sister still recovering from jaw surgery, my mom has come up with the most creative recipes that make you (almost) completely forget that you can't eat solid foods for a month. Recently, my mom deemed it Mexican food night and this meal was created. I could have eaten thirds…and then fourths…
Mexican Night (while on a liquid food diet)
Polenta (without cheese, because she's perfect and accommodates my dairy issues while preparing these liquid meals for my little sister)
Black Bean Puree
Fried Egg (on mine…not my little sisters)
There was also a Queso-Cilantro-Lime sauce that looked great but I didn't try.
Oh and then she made enchiladas for my dad too. He's not keen on eating liquid meals. Like I said. She's incredible.
It has to be genetic, right?
Fresh Cherries
Dark Chocolate
Glass of Almond Milk
And that was my Saturday:)
Can't wait to see what everyone else has been eating!!

Man shot near playground in Harrisburg
Updated On: Apr 17 2013 09:06:02 AM EDT
A 22-year-old man suffered a gunshot wound to his thigh Tuesday in Harrisburg, according to police.
Officers said they were called to the Harrisburg Hospital emergency room about 7:20 p.m. Tuesday.

As he stood on the sidewalk, he heard a gunshot and realized he had been hit, police said.
Investigators said the victim was not able to name anyone at the playground or identify the friend who drove him to the hospital. Officers said they did not find any witnesses or evidence at the playground.
